Rabbi’s Message

Reform Jewish Voice Advocacy Day May 16th, Reform Jewish Voice Advocacy Day. . . . On Monday, May 16th, I

am going to Albany to speak with members of the New York State Assembly

and Senate, along with a number of our fellow Reform Jews from around thestate. The day has been arranged by Reform Jewish Voice of NYS and Inter-

faith Impact. Reform Jewish Voice represents some 100,000 Reform Jews

throughout New York State, who are committed to Reform Jewish values and

the spirit of tikkun olam, repairing the world, through the pursuit of social jus-

tice. Interfaith Impact is a statewide coalition of congregations and individuals

from mainline Protestant and Unitarian Universalist faith traditions. Their mis-

sion as well is to work for the common good through progressive religious ad-

vocacy. Thus there is a natural affinity between our two organizations and it

makes good sense to partner in this endeavor.

The other side. . . . I assure you that the members of the Assembly and State Senate hear from representativesfrom the New York Catholic Archdiocese, and a number of right-wing Christian groups, with great regularity.

It is imperative that they also hear from members of liberal religious groups. They and their legislative assis-

tants need to meet us, hear us speak, and personally acknowledge the voices of liberal religious perspectives

within our state.

Our agenda. . . . Our agenda of advocacy for this trip is three-fold: (1) to support Marriage Equality for

Same Sex Couples in New York State; (2) to advocate for the passage of the Reproductive Health Act; (3) to

advocate for an independent redistricting commission to draft New York State legislative and congressional

political boundaries for the 2012 elections. In addition to meeting with our own senators and members of the

Assembly, we will meet with other lawmakers from around the state who need to meet liberal people of faith.

In addition, we will meet with Steven Cohen, Secretary to Governor Cuomo.

  Registration and Conference Calls. . . . The registration fee for Advocacy Day on May 16th is $25. No

charge for students. http://rac.org/advocacy/rjv/programs/interfaith_advocacy_day/  . If you are interested

in participating, please speak with me as well so that I can help facilitate your participation. In addition to a

general briefing on May 16th itself at the beginning of our schedule, there are several conference calls sched-

uled in advance of that date to brief us on the issues. The schedule of calls is as follows. Please RSVP for

these calls to [email protected]

Reproductive Choice, with  Tracey Brooks, President and CEO of Family Planning Advocates of New York 

State, and Rabbi Dennis Ross, Director of Concerned Clergy for Choice. Thursday, May 5th, 7:00 - 7:45

PM. Dial: 1-213-289-0500; Participant Access Code: 820086# 

Independent Redistricting, with Barbara Bartoletti, Legislative Director of the League of Women Voters,

Thursday, May 12th, 7:00 - 7:45 PM. Dial: 1-213-289-0500; Participant Access Code: 820086#

I hope you will join me, and our fellow Reform Jews, in our State Capitol on May 16th.

Union Temple’s annual Mitzvah Day is Sunday, May 15th. During the morning, technicians from MethodistHospital will be running a blood drive in our social hall. Please come and donate the gift of life. In addition tothe satisfaction of doing a mitzvah, you'll also get orange juice and cookies! This year, the Religious Schooland Brotherhood will be aiding the U.S.-Africa Children’s Fellowship by gathering, sorting and boxing schoolsupplies, children’s books and textbooks, gently used toys and sneakers and sporting goods and similar itemsfor shipment to schools in Africa. In fact, the Religious School has already begun its collection. You can helptoo, by bringing these items to the Temple on Mitzvah Day.

The U.S.-Africa Children’s Fellowship is a nonprofit organization founded and run by longtime Union Templemembers Mark Grashow and Sheri Saltzberg. It was featured in Bill Clinton’s book Giving. The Children’sFellowship supports over 100 schools in Zimbabwe, Ghana and Tanzania with much-needed supplies. Many of

these schools had almost noth-ing to work with for instructionand recreation, until the Chil-dren’s Fellowship assisted

them. Their students are gener-ally poor, many of them or-phaned due to AIDS and otherdiseases. You can learn moreabout the work of the U.S.-Africa Children’s Fellowship att h e i r w e b s i t e ,

www.childrensfellowship.org.

Now let’s face it. Many of ushave desk drawers, bookcasesand closets bulging with chil-

dren’s books, sporting goods,boxes of pencils or crayons or –well, you name it – that our kidshave outgrown and don’t need.They seemed like a good idea atthat back-to-school sale a fewyears ago, but now there theyare, cluttering up the place.

Those children’s books andboxes of crayons and pencils

and other school supplies thatyou no longer need wouldmean so much to the studentsat the schools that the Chil-dren’s Fellowship supports.So join us in doing a greatmitzvah. Do some springcleaning, and bring thosebooks and school supplies tothe Temple on Sunday, May

As the Passover break approached our preschoolerswere actively engaged in their classrooms. Many closefriendships have been forged over the course of theschool year and the classroom has become a homeaway from home. This is my favorite time of theschool year. No one is looking too far ahead or be-hind; they are all in the moment, and very happy. Hereis what is going on at the Preschool.

The Chickadees, (Montana Vasquez-Grinnell’s 2’sclass) are learning about spring especially the idea that"April showers bring May flowers!" They’ve learnedtwo new songs about April Showers and made springflowers and sand paintings. The children will also geta chance to make art that can be hung on the windowcreating a stain glass effect. They were also been talk-

ing a lot about Passover - singing songs about theplague of the frogs and  Dayenu. Each child got theopportunity to make matzo covers for Passover too.After Spring break they are looking forward to cele-brating Mother's/Father's Day and work on activitiesto further develop the children's fine motor skills!

The Starlings, (Alex Beer’s 2’s class) and the Spar-rows (Alex Beers's 3's class) have been busy studyingthe ins and outs of shoes! They have learned that al-most everybody wears shoes, and that there are allkinds of shoes for all kinds of jobs. They have been

reading such books as Shoe-La-La!, All Kinds of Shoes, and Alfie's Feet . Each day they check to see if 

anyone is wearing unusual shoes, and if so, they takephotos. They have quite a collection for their ClassShoe Catalogue.

This study has lent itself to much skill work across the

curriculum. The children have worked on matchingshoes and sorting them into sequences, they have no-ticed the shoes of others and their various uses forshoes, and they have even taken off their shoes andused them for building and play. Most recently theSparrows have noted that their feet have grown sincethey were "little" and are charting their growth by ob-serving their old and new shoes. Now if they could justswitch to sandals and flip-flops-- perhaps someday

The growth in the Robins (Christine Bardach’s 3’sclass) is evident in their play. They have taken great

strides in playing and working together in small andlarge groups. You can often see two children paintingtogether at the easel or helping each other put on theirfavorite dress up clothes. They also enjoy building to-gether at the Lego table and creating elaborate con-structions with Wedgits, a wonderful open-endedbuilding toy. During snack and lunch they laugh ateach other's jokes and talk about special events in theirlives. Singing in a big circle is a favorite activity alongwith dancing together to lively music. It is a pleasureto witness friendships grow and deepen as the year

progresses!

The Hummingbirds have been busy preparing forPassover. They have made their own  Haggadahs.Each page includes a work of art created by the chil-dren. They illustrated lighting the candles, saying theKiddush, breaking the matzo and Elijah's Cup. In-cluded in the Haggadah are songs, which the childrenperformed for their adults at their Passover Seder.The songs are   Building Cities, Listen King Pharaoh,

One Morning, Dayenu and Ma Nishtanah, the first of

the four questions. In addition, the children have alsomade Kiddush Cups, a Seder Plate, a Matzo Cover,and their own grape juice which they bottled for theirSeders at home. To make their school Seder morebeautiful, the children decorated the table cloths whichwill be used at the Seder. They also made macaroonsand chocolate covered matzo, which will be served atour Seder.

 Religious School 

Purim is a Carnival

Parents joined the kids for the annual Religious School Purim Carnival on March 20th. We shot Hanukkah

candles out of a water gun and dunked the rabbi (she’s a great sport!). We played Twister, basketball, and pin

the crown on Esther. We ate hot dogs and hamantaschen and Marianne Dreyfus’ special liebkuchen. We sang

Purim songs, and watched the kids’ presentations. We played Purim trivia. Every carnival-goer took a  pur

(Hebrew: lot; plural,  purim) and at the end of day, we drew lots: Philip Bernstein was chosen, and crowned

king (mazel tov to King Philip!). We concluded by smashing a crown-shaped piñata. It’s raining candy and

treats! To join in the fun, check out the pictures on our bulletin boards!

Kol haKavod —Much thanks to everyone who made this possible:

Parents Faye White-Willinger, who spearheaded the carnival organizing, and Natalie Green-Giles, for her

much needed help and support. Parent engagement is a critical element of Jewish learning.

UT bnei mitzvah Martin Bernstein, for his juggling demonstration  and Gabrielle Green for her very-popular

face painting booth.

Kinder Kef teacher Allison Gutman (she’s a beautiful bee!) for her help with the activities.

Kitah Alef teacher Ari Brickman (in her crazy Mardi-Gras mask), whose class chorus performed Purim songs

and dances.

Kitah Bet teacher David Marx (Batman’s faithful sidekick, Robin), whose class wrote and performed a Purim rap.

Kitah Gimel teacher Rachel Dayan’s class, which created and ran the Purim trivia contest.

Purim Tzedakah projects: An important part of celebrating Purim is helping the needy.

• We collected $87 from Purim carnival ticket sales, which we will donate to the New York Board of Rab-

bis’ annual Passover Appeal to buy Passover food

for needy Jews in the New York metropolitan area.  • Student aide Erez Mirer presented about shaving his

head to raise money for kids with cancer. You can

help! Donate online at stbaldricks.org/participants/ 

mypage/participantid/433470 • Longtime UT member Mark Grashow presented

about his project to help African children: The U.S.

– Africa Children’s Fellowship. Please bring school

supplies and gently used children's books, toys and

clothing to the 3rd

floor UT office. Packaging thedonations appropriately will be one of the projects

on Mitzvah Day. I welcome all your questions and concerns. Feel free to

contact me at [email protected].
