ANNUAL CONGREGATION MEETING: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 7 PM
From Rabbi Laurence A. Sebert: Next Dor
Two years ago, at the Next Dor (next generation) conference I spoke with Rabbi Alan Silverstein of Congregation Agudath Israel in Caldwell, NJ. We talked about effective ways to reach out and serve our communities’ children, now adults, in their 20’s and 30’s. We discovered a confluence of interests–suburban synagogues seeking to help their children (now living in the City) connect to one another and to their Jewish peers, and T&V seeking to extend our success with this age group beyond our monthly Friday night programs. And so, a partnership was born.
We decided to work together and share our resources to help nurture a culture of connection for this next, up and coming, generation. While Rabbi Silverstein and I have encouraged a number of colleagues to support this idea, and a few have already agreed to do so, I felt we needed a jumpstart for this project. And we got one, thanks to a UJA-Federation of New York, COJIR (Commission on Jewish Identity and Renewal) $10,000 grant we have sought and received.
In the coming months, we will hire someone to work part-time with the group with the goal of further transforming what is now a Friday night program into a meaningful community of young adults. We have definitely accomplished that with a core group, but with an average of 120 attendees and more than 800 names on our mailing list, we have more to do.
It is our commitment that with additional professional assistance and financial resources, we will be able to move towards several goals. We will be able to better serve and connect first-time, infrequent and occasional dinner attendees by offering more next-step Jewish connections. It will become easier to reach more young adults as we expand our activities to include learning and community service. This will, in turn, help to strengthen the engagement of all participants with synagogue and Jewish communal life. Finally, beyond succeeding locally, we hope to create a viable model for other urban centers to create partnerships with their suburban counterparts to create engaged “Next Dor” communities.
I feel tremendous gratitude to all who have chosen to partner with us to create real life-long continuity of Jewish communal involvement. I am delighted that my colleagues, especially Rabbi Silverstein, are willing to commit to helping another synagogue besides their own. As you may know, that never happens. I applaud them for being able to see that we can work together to accomplish something even greater for the entire Jewish people. I am thankful for the confidence of COJIR of UJA-Federation of NY in seeing the vast potential we have to shift the way the American Jewish community reaches out to its members. Mostly, we are all deeply indebted to our 20’s and 30’s leadership, including David Pasteelnick, Emily Sigal and Eva Stern, for their tireless efforts to keep our 20’s and 30’s group thriving.
From Cantor Shayna Postman: Revelation through Choral Song
Over the last many months, Rabbi Sebert, Gabe Miner and I have participated in a special kind of training with Storahtelling. Our teacher, Naomi Less, has been feeding us new techniques to study Torah – to probe its meaning, turn it around and around to determine the relevance and challenge in any given verse of Torah.
At the end of May, we celebrate the Holiday Shavuot, in which we celebrate the giving of the Torah. As such, Rabbi Sebert, Gabe and I felt that in the weeks prior to Shavuot, we would share some of our new methods for Torah study with the T&V community.
As some of you may recall, Rabbi Sebert and I have done this on two prior occasions on Shabbat morning. The first was in October, on the Shabbat to raise awareness of the Shelter of Peace initiative to help homeless youth. Rabbi Sebert’s haunting portrayal of a homeless Jewish youth elucidated the verse about Moses’ reluctance to go to Pharao h. In this case, it was the homeless youth who was reluctant to speak for himself because he didn’t think he could affect change.
The next occasion was the first week of February, on Shabbat Shirah, the Sabbath of Song, Rabbi Sebert and I presented the verses that Moses and Miriam sang after crossing the Sea of Reeds. Moses’ imperative in the personal, “Ashira”, I will sing – each individual singing a personal prayer of thanks was amplified by Miriam’s “Shiru”, the command for the plurality to keep on singing, and that in 2012, we today are part of the crew that was and is commanded by Miriam to sing “Ashira”, I will sing my gratitude, my thanks, my praise. In the voices of Miriam and Moshe, we pointed out how these verses highlight an important point about communal prayer, that it is at the self-same time communal ‘Shiru’ as we sing together, and personal “Ashira”, as we bring to it our individual meaning and feeling.
Recently, as we have been preparing for text study in the weeks leading up to Shavuot, we were looking at some of the verses read on Shavuot, and noted this verse from Exodus 19:8, “And all the people answered together, and said: ‘All that the Lord hath spoken we will do.’ And Moses reported the words of the people unto the Lord.” While we have neither fully fleshed out the idea, nor have we determined if this will be one of the verses we explore, we questioned what does it mean for ALL the people to answer together, in one voice? The answer I gave was in singing! Despite what our political or religious opinions may be and despite how we may differently interpret or understand the words we are singing. The delivery of a song is in one voice. May our singing together remind us that even though we may have differences, we can still reply as One in song!
From Shanee Epstein, Educational Director: With a Smile
In NYC in 2012 the stress on achievement is strong. We feel it, our children feel it. People are often judged by their accomplishments, rather than the quality of their character. Of course we should be proud of our accomplishments; we should help our children reach their potential. But we must balance that with acceptance and appreciation and moderation.
Anxiety amongst children is growing. How do we provide the best for our children; nutritious food, happy home, healthy physical activity, quality education and, of course, love. How do we encourage, rather than push? How do we communicate what is truly important to us?
And how does this apply to Jewish Education? Clearly we want to educate our children to become literate Jews. We want them to have skills and knowledge, as well as a love for Yiddishkeit. When we discuss Jewish Education, we often focus on Hebrew Language, Siddur Prayer skills, Jewish History, Torah, Shabbat and Chagim, Jewish Law and customs. And these components of Jewish Education are so important. But I want to focus on the less tangible, the elements of Jewish Education that are equally important, yet often underdiscussed.
It’s not what we learn, but who we are. The content of our character, our values, our middot—our characteristics. How do we treat people? How do we speak of others? Think of how good it feels when you are greeted kindly. Think of how good it feels when you smile or help a stranger. We have to be careful, of course, when dealing with strangers. But how sad is it if we treat all people as if they are potentially dangerous? We have to be smart; we have to teach our children to be careful. But in the process, let’s not cut ourselves off from the people around us.
If we, the Israelites, are to be a light amongst nations, then kindness is key. I believe that Torah teaches us to treat all people with respect, dignity and kindness, as we are all created in God’s image. Being a light carries a responsibility to increase holiness and spirituality around us. Being a Light is to strive to put a little more kindness in the world.
So when we look at what we learn as Jews, let’s also look at how we act, the way we walk in the world. I once heard a wonderful Rabbi addressing a graduating class. He said, “You’ve learned a lot, you know a lot of Torah, you have learned and excelled in both Jewish and secular subjects. That is all very important. But even more important….Greet every stranger with a smile.”
From Louise Sherby, President: Happenings @ T&V
Some exciting things are happening at T&V. We have received two grants from UJA-Federation of NY in the amount of $10,000 each to enhance our programming efforts. The first grant is to reach out to Jews from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) through our PJ Library program. Todah Rabbah to Rabbi Sebert, who wrote the grant proposal with the assistance of Rabbi Iris Richman and Shanee Epstein, who will be coordinating our PJ Library program.
The second is a COJIR grant for our 20’s and 30’s group also applied for by Rabbi Sebert. Rabbi Sebert has been working with Rabbi Alan Silverstein, Congregation Agudath Israel in Caldwell, NJ, and our 20’s/30’s leadership to partner with our suburban neighbors to coordinate, fund and staff outreach efforts to this age group. Both grants allow us to hire part-time assistants to help develop and expand what we are already doing. This is an exciting development for both of these important programs.
Rabbi Sebert and Shanee Epstein have also been teaching parenting classes in collaboration with Beth Israel’s Birthing Center, and Cantor Postman has developed a Bim Bam Baby music class for parents and babies 2-24 months that started in April.
Another new program is JAHSS (pronounced jazz) (Jack & Helen Somers Seniors) at T&V. Rabbi Sebert will be doing two Lunch & Learn sessions May 3rd and May 31st from 11:15-12:30 for our seniors. Due to a generous gift from the children of Jack and Helen Somers, we were able to hire a part-time social worker, Susan Richter, who has already begun connecting to our older members and offering assistance. The program is free but please call Julie in the Office to register so they can plan accordingly and let her know if you need transportation (212.677.8090, ext. 0).
It is exciting to see these efforts come to fruition and I look forward to seeing them take shape in the next few months.

T&V Sisterhood Donations
This year our Sisterhood answered the call from Women’s League for Conservative Judaism for their two Fund Raising appeals made possible by your dues and contributions to our New Year’s Card appeal.
Young people make aliyah to Israel leaving their family, friends and support system at home. Our own Ben Mernick is such an example. The organization Lone Soldier was established so that when these soldiers are on leave for Shabbat or for Yom Tov, there are homes where they can go to relax, rejuvenate and celebrate. T&V Sisterhood donated $100 to this organization.
KOACH is the college arm of the Conservative movement. Each year there is a national conclave of the KOACH members. Faced with rising costs on college campuses, some students who want to attend the KOACH Kallah – as this gathering is called—are unable to do so. T&V Sisterhood donated $100 to KOACH to help send a student to the KOACH Kallah.
