JUNE 2014 SIVAN-TAMMUZ 5774 3

On June 4 to 5

we will be ob-

serving and cele-

brating the holiday

of Shavuot—the

revelation at Sinai and the giving of the To-

rah to the children of Israel. On Passover we

remember the moment of liberty and free-

dom from 400 years of bondage in Egypt as

we passed through the opened waters of

the Red Sea. As we journeyed through the

desert towards our ultimate destination of

the land given to our father Abraham, we

stopped at the foot of the fiery mountain of

Sinai in the presence of the tents of Jethro

to be sealed with the gift of revelation.

As Moses gathered all the tribes and fel-

low travelers below Sinai, the people were

terrified as they heard the voice of the

Master of the Universe and pleaded with

Moses to listen on their behalf. There is a

midrash that says that all the people heard

was the sound of the “silent aleph.” The

Ten Commandments in Exodus chapter 20

begin: “I am the Lord your God” with the

Hebrew word anochi starting with the let-

ter aleph (which is always silent).

After this penultimate event of revela-

tion, the people recite: “All the Lord has

spoke we will faithfully do!” This is the

famous phrase na’aseh v’nishma. Unfortu-

nately, most of those present at Sinai did

not take very long to nullify their pledge

by forging and worshipping the gold calf.

It then became the responsibility of the

next generation to fulfill their destiny as

they entered the land of Canaan and con-

tinued their transformation into a people

truly worthy of the gift of Torah that was

received at Sinai.

The continuity of the people of Israel

and Judaism is dependent upon this tran-

sition from freedom to revelation to com-

mitment. We, the 21st century descendants

of those who physically stood at Sinai,

are responsible for assuring that Judaism

is alive and well for many generations to

come.

The findings of the recent Pew Report,

“A Portrait of Jewish Americans,” have

created a great deal of angst, especially

among synagogue leaders and other Jew-

ish institutions across America. The num-

bers reflected a rapidly expanding base of

those who are intermarried, unaffiliated

and totally disinterested in “organized re-

ligion.”

However, there was one statistic that

stood out in the midst of all of this “bad

news.” Eighty percent (80%) of those sur-

veyed said that Judaism is an important

part of their lives. The question, of course,

is what they mean by “Judaism.” The an-

swers are all across the board, but they are

telling us that in some significant manner

or form there are a lot of Jews out there

who want and hopefully need a connec-

tion to Judaism. Some of these people are

I am sure members of our own kehillah at

MJCBY. It is a great tradition for Jews to

be searchers as well as experimenters in

adapting Judaism and Jewish life to the

times in which they live. Just look at the

rabbis of the first and second century

C.E. (after the destruction of the Second

Temple). Rather than see their existence

crumble in the face of no temple and no

priesthood, they transformed Judaism into

a new model that exists to this day.

We at MJCBY need to continually evalu-

ate the model within our own congrega-

tion and implement the “tweaks,” and in

some cases the more significant changes,

which may be needed both to keep us vi-

brant as a community and to create a home

for all seekers and searchers of a Judaism

that provides a sense of belonging and ful-

fillment. That is the type of commitment

our heritage requires of us. We owe it to

ourselves, our children and to the Jewish

community as a whole.

It is said that we were all present at

Sinai (past and future). The question re-

mains: Where are we today?

Mazel Tov to all of our graduates—from

Shalom Yeladim to college.

The Debt” weaves a tangled web of lies and deceptions around a seemingly

heroic raid in 1965 carried out by three agents of Mossad, the Israeli intel-

ligence agency known for more ability than it exhibits here. Their mission: Enter

East Berlin with secret identities, kidnap a Nazi war criminal and bring him to

Israel for trial. He is Vogel (Jesper Christensen), the notorious Surgeon of Birke-

nau, who conducted unspeakable procedures on his captives.

The film opens with the agents being welcomed on their return home to Israel.

They are David (Sam Worthington), Rachel Singer (Jessica Chastain, of “The Tree

of Life”) and Stefan (Marton Csokas). In scenes set in 1997, they will be played

by Ciaran Hinds, Helen Mirren and Tom Wilkinson. The later scenes involve the

publication of a book by Rachel’s daughter about the famous raid.

June 7

It is with great pride that we invite the

congregation to celebrate the Bar Mitz-

vah of our son Cole, when he is called to

the Torah on June 7, 2014. Cole is a sev-

enth-grade student at Mendham Township

Middle School.

Cole is a passionate and fun-loving per-

son. He is passionate about music and

plays piano, trumpet and drums. Cole is

also an avid snow skier, waterskier and

wake surfer. His new sport is scuba diving!

For his mitzvah project, Cole is helping

at the Schiff Nature Preserve in Mendham.

He has helped to raise money that goes to-

wards preserving the land for wildlife and

volunteers his time for cleaning trails and

planting trees. He has also been a volun-

teer for the Mendham Open Space Commit-

tee, which is dedicated to preserving farm-

lands, woodlands and historic and natural

areas in our community.

Cole’s parents and his brothers, Justin

and Russell, are so proud of Cole and his

accomplishments. They along with grand-

parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends

look forward to this special day.

D A N I E L S H T I R M E R

June 14

Regina and Gene Shtirmer proudly in-

vite the Congregation to celebrate with

them as their son Daniel Lauren is called

to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on June

14. Daniel is a seventh-grade high honors

student at the Hebrew Academy of Morris

County. Aside from being an A+ student,

Daniel enjoys painting, playing piano, ten-

nis and basketball. He also loves partici-

pating in school plays, spending time with

his friends, traveling and collecting snow

globes from every place he visits.

For his mitzvah project, Daniel chose

to collect arts and crafts projects for kids

who are patients at the Goryeb Children’s

Hospital in Morristown. This has been a re-

warding experience for Daniel, as he has

witnessed first hand how a small act of

volunteering can make a meaningful posi-

tive impact on a sick child’s life.

Daniel is also planning to volunteer at

a nonprofit art camp in the summer and

has signed up to volunteer with Habitat

for Humanity in the fall.

Daniel’s parents, his brother Ryan, and

his sister Natalie are so proud of him and

his accomplishments and are thankful to

share this joyous occasion with grandpar-

ents, great-grandparents, relatives and

friends!

School News

It is hard to believe that June has

“sprung” and the school year is coming

to an end! However, the learning and fun at

Shalom Yeladim continues this month as we

learn about the holiday of Shavuot. Shavuot

is the day that Moses received the Ten Com-

mandments from G-d on Mount Sinai. The

Ten Commandments are G-d’s special rules

that show us how to live.

Children learn by doing so the SY children

will climb up on cardboard boxes where their

teachers will present them with stuffed To-

rahs. Back in their classrooms, the children

will write their own “Ten Commandments”

for school. These special rules will be posted

in the hallways. Please come in and take a

peek. We will read the book No Rules for Mi-

chael by Sylvia Rouss, which tells the story of

how Michael wishes more than anything that

there weren’t any rules. He is sure that school

would be much more fun without them. But

when his wish comes true, he discovers that

while he doesn’t have to share or take turns,

no one else does either and school is no fun

at all! It is truly the perfect Shavuot book!

It is tradition to eat dairy foods on Shavuot,

so we will enjoy a special ice cream snack on

Erev Shavuot. Yummy!

We will celebrate Father’s Day this month

by inviting all the dads in for a special cel-

ebration that promises to be a lot of fun.

Congratulations to the graduating class

and to the kindergarten class. We will miss

them terribly and wish them the best of luck

as they continue their educational journeys!

Thank you to all of our Shalom Yeladim

families for entrusting your children to our

care! It has been such a pleasure working

with them this year!

Have a safe and happy summer, and I

look forward to welcoming you back to

school in September!

21 Last Minyonaire Shabbat

I can’t believe that June is here and the

USY year is coming to an end. As I reflect

on my first year as MJCBY’s USY advisor, I

am very thankful that I have been able to

connect with so many of the teens at this

amazing congregation. With the help of the

tion to build on next year with hopes of

reaching more teens and parents to educate

them on everything that USY has to offer.

Applications for board positions are out,

and I look forward to the upcoming board

elections and am excited to see who will be

leading us next year. I would like to thank

the entire USY board (listed here) for all of

their hard work and dedication this year

and wish all of our graduating seniors good

luck in the future!
