It was about 4 a.m. when I got the call. “Rabbi, this is Stuart,” said Stuart Mitnick, the shul president at the time. “There’s a fire at the shul.” I quickly ran over to the shul and not believing my eyes, the flames began to burst out of the Benner Street entrance. There were at least three companies there at the time trying to put it out. This was really happening. The shul was on fire. The blaze kept going and going through the morning. More and more fire companies were called up, at the peak of the fire there were close to a hundred people on the scene fighting the fire, standing by for first aid and providing aid and comfort. By the late morning the fire was under control, and by the late afternoon it was officially put out. I walked inside and my eyes stung. The synagogue was in ruins. The bimah, the entire sanctuary, the Kroll auditorium, they were all destroyed. It was too much to look at. The room was still hot and smoky and the scent of burnt wood, melted plastic and scorched carpet was unbearable. It was a Thursday and we had to quickly mobilize for Shabbat. We put out an automatic phone message to the entire congregation to come to a hastily organized meeting that night at the old “Y”. The first responders reported to us, and we learned that we weren’t going to be back in that building for a while. Some of us knew from the first day, that we would never be going back into that building again. From then on we began a period of wandering, to the “Y” for regular Shabbat services, to 431 Raritan for daily minyan and office functions, and to the Highland Park High School for the High Holidays and larger events. We put teams together to manage the operations of the shul, to go through the process of adjustment, to engage in planning for the future and to design and build our beautiful new building and so much more. At the same time we kept up all of our programming. We didn’t skip a beat. Let’s not forget that when the fire took place the merger of the HPCTC and the CAE was in its final phase and that all happened seamlessly. We held events to open the new office, to honor the first responders, to bury the destroyed books and artifacts, and on and on until we broke ground on the new building and dedicated it in 2009. And here we are, 10 years removed from that Thursday, August 24, 2006. What a remarkable 10 years it has been! We couldn’t have accomplished anything without an incredible lay leadership team and devoted staff. The loss of the Temple building was tragic and catastrophic, but in hindsight (and frankly, during the days and weeks afterwards) we knew that it could have been infinitely worse. Thank God it was not. From our destruction came our renewal. We have such a beautiful shul, and such an amazing community that is proud to call this shul its second home. The fire has marked us all in ways that are profound and will have a lasting effect on us for the rest of our lives. We are grateful for everything. We take nothing for granted. We are so proud and so blessed. A new year is about to begin, but the memories of the past decade come back to me with great vividness at this time.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGESheldon Freidenreich, President

Raritan Valley Chapter ofHadassah and our AJAinvite you to join us

Tuesday, September 13 at 8 p.m. when

Suri GrussgottAssistant Director of theWorld Jewish Congress,

North Americawill present

“Report from Buenos Aires - the Long Road in the Pursuit of Justice for Argentine Jewry.”

Everyone is welcome!Refreshments will be served.

It’s hard to believe that the summer isover. Soon we’ll be back into our regularroutine at home, as well as in the Temple.During the past two month, with your help, wewere able to maintain our daily minyan andShabbat services despite many being away onvacation.

I want to thank our members whovolunteered to lead services and read Torah onShabbat. and the service coordinators whowork very hard to assure that all aspects of theservices are covered. I especially want to thankRabbi Stephanie Dickstein, Rabbi Sara Rich,Rabbi Esther Reed, Rabbi Morty Schwartz andBarry Mael for filling in for Rabbi during hisabsence

Next month we will come together as acongregation to observe the High Holidays.We are now in the month of Elul, beginningthe period of spiritual preparation with thesounding of the shofar at weekday morningservices and recitation of psalm 27 twice a day.Elul is traditionally the time to begin theprocess of asking forgiveness for wrongs doneto others. I do wish that you forgive anywrongs that I may have committed andtogether we strive for the betterment of ourcongregation.

As you know, after three years ofserving our congregation, Chazzan RandallLevin decided to take a position in South

Huntington, NY. While we’re disappointedthat he will not be leading our services, we arealso happy for him and wish him muchsuccess.

After being appraised of thesituation, the Religious Committeeimmediately began looking for a High HolidayCantor. I’m happy to announce that CantorAlty Weinreib will be the Chazzan this year.Cantor Alty is a musician by profession, havingbeen trained at the Yeshiva UniversityCantorial School. I want to thank PhilGoldwasser for arranging the interviews andthe members of the Religious Committee whowere able to be at the interviews.

Because the holidays are so late this year,our adult education program will be beginningvery shortly with Talmud Class with RabbiMordechai Schwartz and ConversationalHebrew with Ilana Rozett. Both programshave been well received in the past and I knowthat they will continue to be successful. I hopethat you take advantage of these educationalopportunities.

I want to thank you for your continuedmembership. On behalf of the Officers andMembers of the Board, we wish everyone ahappy, healthy and prosperous new year. I lookforward to greeting you during the HighHoliday period.

Congratulations to the newly elected Highland Park Chapter USY Board!!

If “three’s the charm” then my fourth go‘round as a Men’s Club president comes withan IMPERATIVE to get it right! (Okay, it’s myfirst time at HPCT-CAE.) So how will weknow if I get it right? The first, and mostimportant, test will be if the pronoun changesfrom “I” to “we.” Our club can’t accomplish itsgoals or see growth unless we make it happen –despite anything that I might do.

For there to be a “we,” our club mustgrow. With over 400 family units at our shul,we finally reached 94 paid up members lastyear. Even allowing for women onlyhouseholds, that’s a pitiful number comparedto what it should be for a shul such as ours.Beyond growth, we need active participation.Of our 94 members, only 10 serve on theMen’s Club Board, seven recent past presidentsand the same guys who have been serving foryears. It is my not-so-humble opinion thatevery member of HPCT-CAE needs to supportthe synagogues arms: men to join and be activein Men’s Club; women in Sisterhood. I can’tspeak for Marsha, but I have several open boardpositions waiting to be filled. (If timeconstraints are so tight as to make activeparticipation impossible right now, at leastsupport us by paying your dues.) With theHigh Holidays approaching, now is a greattime to say, “Hineni – Here I am!” (in bodyand spirit).

Back in May, we participated in the shul’s

annual calendar meeting and I’m thrilled toreport that we filled the calendar with amultitude of varied activities aimed at a set ofdifferent target audiences – hopefully,providing something for everyone. We kick offwith a trip to Citi field to see the Mets take onthe Miami Marlins. Baseball not your thing?Join us at the shul on September 11 forTouchdowns and Torah, featuring our NY Jets.Come Sukkot we will leave off the “hard stuff ”as we proudly sponsor “Burgers & Brews in theBooth.” Phil Goldwasser promises a choiceselection of brews to sample and Phil Schmidtwill once again be our grillmeister – burgers toorder. Make mine rare, Phil! Our full calendarwill accompany our membership letter. Watchfor it in the mail! How well our functions aresupported and attended will be another metricof “got it right.”

Call it “T.O.T” or “cards on the table.”We’re looking at a New Year, new leadership,and new opportunities at our feet. Witheverything else on my plate, I’M ready for afourth go ‘round. The critical question is: AreWE?

From Helene and myself and the entireMen’s Club Board and our families, an earlywish for a Shana Tova U’M’Tuka to you and allyou hold dear.

B’vracha, Al Davis

Twelve-year-old Simon Grünberg, aJewish kid, has a lot to deal with at adifficult hormonal age. Since the recentdivorce of his parents, life in Hamburghas been like a ping pong ball, as hetravels back and forth between hismom and dad. Complicating matters,the family is religiously divided.Newly-observant father Frankdesperately insists that his squeamishson sacrifice his foreskin before his BarMitzvah, while liberal-minded momHannah is fed up with the piousposturing of her ex-husband.

Meantime, Simon falls head over heelsin love with the new Rabbi, Rebecca(who is, unfortunately, twenty years hissenior). With the Machiavellianscheming of friends Clemens and Ben,a rivalry to win her heart fuels a familyfeud.

All are welcome to Siddur Lev Shalem: Dreaming the Dream of Godwith Rabbi Stephanie Dickstein

Chancellor Arnold Eisen wrote in his forward, “I am proud to introduce you to the many pleasures of this remarkableprayer book, which, like Conservative Judaism as a whole, takes tradition forward in a way at once faithful, learned, loving and bold. .. (it) invites us to “dream the dream of God”, as Abraham Joshua Heschel put it, in words that

join our hearts and minds to those of our ancestors.”

Join us for three sessions as we explore various ways in which the new siddur presents the Shabbat and holiday liturgy sothat can enrich our personal, spiritual and communal experience of prayer. We will also discuss how prayer, in the settingof this siddur, can enhance our Jewish community and connection with the Jewish people and all of God’s creation.

Thursdays, November 14, 21 and 28 • Cost will be $25 for members and $36 for non-members.

HOME RITUALS FORROSH HASHANAH AND YOM KIPPUR

CANDLE LIGHTING FOR ROSH HASHANAH

The Eve of Rosh Hashanah is Sunday, October 2. Candles are to be lit before 6:19 p.m. After striking the match and lighting the wicks, it is customary to move one’shands in a circular motion three times, as a symbolic invitation of the angels, and thencover one’s eyes while reciting the blessing by heart. The blessing for the candles isfollowed by the Shehecheyanu blessing. The Hebrew text of both blessings is found in themachzor. Following the blessings, many add their own private mediations for the NewYear. Here is a transliteration of the blessings:

Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam asher kidshanu be-mitzvotav ve-tzivanu le-hadlik ner shel Yom Tov.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with the commandments and commanded us to light the candles of the holiday.

Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam she-he-che-ya-nu ve-ki-ye-ma-nu ve-hi-gi-anu la-zman ha-zeh

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe,Who has given us life,sustained us, and enabled us to reach this day.

Meditation for the New Year:

Yehi ratzon milfanekha, she-tehadesh aleinu shanah tova u-metukah.

May it be Your will, that You grant us a beautiful, sweet year.

ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR CANDLE LIGHTING

Candles are to be lit on Monday evening, after 7:16 p.m. from an existing flame. TheYom Tov blessing for the candles is recited.

BLESSING OF THE CHILDREN

Prior to the meal it is customary to bless the children:

For boys:

Yesimha Elohimke-Efrayim ve-khe-M’nashe

May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.

For girls:

Yesimeh Elohim ke-Sara Rivka Rachel ve-Leah

May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah.

For all Children:

Yevarekhekha Adonai ve-yishmerekhaYa-eir Adonai panav elekha ve-yihunekahYisa Adonai panav elekha ve-yaseim lekha shalom.

May God bless you and watch over you.May God shine His light upon you and be gracious to you.May God lift up His face upon you and grant you peace.

KIDDUSH FOR ROSH HASHANAH

Kiddush is recited prior to the meal. A Hebrew text and English translation of theKiddush may be found in the Machzor. Here is a transliteration:

Hold the cup of wine and recite:

Savri maranan ve-rabanan:Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam borei pri ha-gaften.

Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam asher bahar banu mikol am ve-romemanu mi-kol lashon ve-kidshanu be-mitzvotavva-titen lanu Adonai Eloheinu be-ahavaet Yom Hazikaron ha-zehYom Teruah, mikra kodeshzekher litzi’at mitzrayimki vanu vahartave-otanu kidashta mikol ha-amim

HA-MOTZI

It is traditional on Rosh Hashanah and throughout the holidays, to eat round shapedchallah symbolizing the cycle of the year and the cycle of life. Following the ritual washingof the hands, Netilat Yadayim, Ha-Motzi is recited over the challah.

Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-olamHa-motzi lechem min ha-aretz.

Blessed are You, Lord our GodKing of the UniverseWho brings forth bread from the earth.

It is the custom to dip the challah in honey before eating it.

APPLES AND HONEY

Among the various food customs of Rosh Hashanah, the most prevalent is dipping applesin honey. Following the motzi, but prior to the formal meal, we distribute wedges of appleand dip them into a bowl of honey. We recite the following:

Yehi ratzon milfanekha, Adonai Eloheinu ve-elohei avoteinushe-tehadesh aleinu shanah tova u-metukah.

May it be Your will, O Lord our God,and God of our ancestorsthat you renew for usa year that is good and sweet.
