From The Rabbi's Desk

While we generally think of Sukkot as the first of the three Pilgrimage Festivals, inactuality, Pesach is the first one on the calendar. According to the Mishnah the yearfor holidays begins with the month of Nisan, whereas the year for months begins withTishrei (when we celebrate Rosh HaShanah). We have just completed the month ofNisan and the holiday of Passover, which we follow with Shavuot and then in the fallafter Rosh HaShanah we celebrate the month of Tishrei and the holiday of Sukkot.

This year was one of the most enjoyable Passovers we have experienced as a family.From services throughout the chagim to the Second Seder, everything was memora-ble. The teachers at the Jacob N. Lipman Religious School of Temple Beth Emunahdid a wonderful job of preparing all of our youth for Pesach. Our Model Seder thattook place just before the holiday was an incredible display of preparation, energy,and dedication by all of the teachers. The students and parents had a great time andI know that all of the kids enhanced their own seders with their newfound learning.

Our Second Seder that was organized by Keruv and members of the shul was suchan amazing experience. With almost 60 people in attendance we sang and learnedand ate and ate and ate. We sat everyone around one large dining room-like table toenable everyone to be able to see each other and participate fully. In addition to thetraditional Maggid (the story that answers the questions posed by the Four Questionsof Mah Nishtanah) volunteers acted out a play to teach about the story of our deliver-ance from slavery to freedom. Kids and adults chose parts and staged the short dra-matic presentation. Thank you to those who prepared the meals, made sure theroom was setup, took reservations, planned and executed the entire program. TheHaggadah teaches us that all who are hungry, let them come and eat. We share theexperience of the Passover holiday and the Seder with everyone—those whom weknow and those we meet for the first time that night. The Second Seder experiencewas no different for us.Our services this year throughout the Passover holiday were enjoyable, spirited, andfun. Each day was different, with a variety of shlichei tzibur (service leaders) and dis-tinct tunes and melodies. College kids who returned home to be with families cameout one day and led all facets of our services. High School and Middle School stu-dents made sure to attend and contribute by leading different prayers and readings.If you were not able to be with us, please be sure to make time to come to servicesand see and hear how everyone has a chance to participate and find engagement inour services.

As we look forward to the month ahead, we will be celebrating Shavuot beginningThursday evening, May 28th through the end of Shabbat (May 30th). In addition to ourannual graduation for students from the Hebrew School, we will again to observingthe tradition of staying up late in the night (not too late) to study Torah and learn to-gether. This tradition, called a Tikkun Leyl Shavuot (Studying on the Eve of Shavuot)is to connect our learning and studying with the gift of Torah given to the Jewish peo-ple. We will have a variety of sessions, and different topics and teachers to learn within the evening. And of course food will be served. Please be sure to see the flyerin the bulletin for more information.

And remember as always—even if you can only attend for a short time, you arealways welcome to stay and enjoy.

I look forward to seeing you in the weeks ahead.

From the cubby of the President ----

Does the rabbi of a shul make a difference to the members? Do you think that our new rabbi will have any effect on you? If youthink that a new rabbi makes a difference then perhaps you should read the poem below.

The Blind Men and the ElephantA Hindu fable by John Godfrey Saxefrom Elephants ancient and modern by FC Sillar and RM Meyler.Note:``The Blind Men and the Elephant'' occurs in the Udana, a Canonical Hindu Scripture.

So, if you think that a new rabbi will make a difference then you should attend the weekends when candidates visit. You shouldbring your children to speak with him on Sunday. You should attend the services and meals and get to know him so that we can allhelp quantify the ELEPHANT which we are seeking to identify? Up to this point we have not been stiff or obstinate but what doesthe ELEPHANT we are trying to identify look like?

If any person came to only Friday night services what would the ELEPHANT look like to him? If any person came only to Shabbatmorning services what would the ELEPHANT look like to her? If any person came late to Shabbat morning services and spoke tothe candidate at lunch what would the ELEPHANT look like to him? The same goes for Havdalah service. The same is true of theentire weekend - each piece touched is part of the ELEPHANT but no piece is the ELEPHANT.

The members of the RISC are on a mission to engage in the most exacting tasks of identifying the ELEPHANT so that we can pre-sent the best ELEPHANT to the congregation. The RISC members are trying to educate themselves so that none of them are theBlind Men of this parable.

The members of the RISC implore each member of the congregation to come and see much of the ELEPHANT and fill out a feed-back form. The RISC members are here to bring you the best candidates to choose from–they are not here to choose the next rabbi.You, the general membership, should be the ones who choose by filling in and sending back a feedback form. Your preferences willbe counted and will be part of the decision making process but only if you attend events and fill out a form.

The RISC members - Ed Baron, Dave Bluestein, Heidi Bourque, Doria Burman, Reva Castaline, Josh Cohen, Ann Dreiker, GarretEkpunobi, Rhoda Factor, Barbara Fine, Bob Fishman, Jim Green, Stacey Jacobs, Debbie Kirsch, David Kramer, Beth Lappen, StanMarcus, Shari McBurney, Mary Alice Nathan, Marge Slotnick, and Josh Tolub are working to bring you the best available candi-dates. Help them help the congregation–come to the candidate weekends and fill in the forms.

Robert Fishman

It was six men of IndostanTo learning much inclined,Who went to see the Elephant(Though all of them were blind),That each by observationMight satisfy his mind.

The Firstapproached the Elephant,And happening to fallAgainst his broad and sturdy side,At once began to bawl:`God bless me! but the ElephantIs very like a wall!'

The Second, feeling of the tusk,Cried, `Ho! what have we hereSo very round and smooth and sharp?To me 'tis mighty clearThis wonder of an ElephantIs very like a spear!'

The Third approached the animal,And happening to takeThe squirming trunk within his hands,Thus boldly up and spake:Ì see,' quoth he, `the ElephantIs very like a snake.'

The Fourth reached out his eager hand,And felt about the knee.`What most this wondrous beast is likeIs mighty plain,' quoth he;`'Tis clear enough the ElephantIs very like a tree!'

The Fifth who chanced to touch the ear,Said: È'en the blindest manCan tell what this resembles most:Deny the fact who can,This marvel of an ElephantIs very like a fan!'

The Sixth no sooner had begunAbout the beast to grope,Than, seizing on the swinging tailThat fell within his scope,Ì see,' quoth he, `the ElephantIs very like a rope!'

And so these men of IndostanDisputed loud and long,Each in his own opinionExceeding stiff and strong,Though each was partly in the right,And all were in the wrong!

So, oft in theologic wars,The disputants, I ween,Rail on in utter ignoranceOf what each other mean,And prate about an ElephantNot one of them has seen!

Samuel Greenstein

On Saturday, May 16th, Samuel Green-stein will be called to the Torah as a BarMitzvah. Celebrating this simcha withSam are his parents, Paula & Howard,his 17 year old brother, Matthew, and hisgrandmothers, Anita Hunt & RubyGreenstein.

Sam is in the 7th grade honors program at Easton MiddleSchool where he enjoys science. He plays on 2 basketballteams, plays Babe Ruth baseball, Pop Warner football and healso received his black belt in karate at 9 years old.

The most meaningful part of his education at the Jacob N Lip-man Religious School is going on the outreach program wherehe visited nursing homes & day care. They made him feel likehe was representing the Jewish community in a positive way.

Becoming a Bar Mitzvah to Sam means becoming an adult inthe Jewish community and taking with that more responsibility.

Sam’s mitzvah project is the MSPCA, which is very important to him because it is where he adopted his two dogs.
