SANDY RUBENSTEIN

Sandy Rubenstein, a child of Holocaust survivors, will relate her father’s story. In 1996, her father,

Joseph Horn, published his memoirs. He spoke of his experiences to actualize the words he chose for

his foreword: "I implore God to give me the strength to do justice to those we left behind. To tell their story and mine so it may touch the hearts of

people, now and in the future. To make sure, to the extent that I can, that our ordeal will not have been

in vain."

PASSOVER AND MIRACLES BIG AND SMALL

When I was about eight years old, I spent the day with my great aunt, Tillie Lichtenstein z”l. We went to the market, just to buy a jar of pickles, and Aunt Tillie realized she did not have her pocketbook. “Oh well, we’ll just wait, I’m sure a friend of mine will come in and I can borrow some money.” I thought that was crazy, but sure enough after five minutes one of her friends did arrive! The friend bought the pickles for us, and we were on our way.

I was impressed, so much so that I remember the incident clearly. Was this “The late 70’s pickle miracle of the Detroit suburbs?” Was it luck, or miraculous? Do we believe in miracles? What is a miracle, anyway?

Rabbi Jack Riemer related a story about an atheist named Robert Ingersol, who spoke around the country, trying to convince people that there is no God. Mr. Ingersol once addressed a huge crowd at an outdoor rally. And in his talk he said: “God, if there is a God, I challenge you to prove it. If You exist, then I challenge you to send a stroke of lightning and hit this tree. If you can do that, then I will believe that you exist. And if not, then I ask all the people in this audience to join with me in believing that there is no God.” Sure enough, just as Ingersol finished speaking, a bolt of lightning came out of the sky and struck the tree. In response he said, “Wasn’t that a remarkable coincidence!” Ingersol, and those like him who do not believe in God or in miracles, will find ways to deny what happens. So many people are like this! The Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism, lamented, “The world is full of wonders and miracles, but we each take our hand and cover our eyes and see nothing.”

Is the Baal Shem Tov right? Are we oblivious to the many blessings in our lives? In the book, Small Miracles for the Jewish Heart, the authors assert, “The history of the Jewish people is drenched in miracles … we are not privileged to witness the scope and grandeur of

From RabbiMichael PontGod’s miracles in the same manner as our Forefathers did, but we do experience the ‘coincidences’ that attest to God’s presence. These are gentle taps on our shoulder to remind us that God is with us always, even in the ordinary details of day-to-day life.” (pp. vii-viii) I experience these ‘gentle taps’ fairly often – do you? Do you ever think about someone and then they call, or you see them unexpectedly? How often do we say, “I was just thinking about you!” Are such moments mere coincidences, as Robert Ingersol claims, or are they examples of God’s love and concern for us?

Recognizing the divine influence in our lives is one reason we sing “Dayenu” on Pesach. We thank God for what God gave and gives us, and even if God did not do so much for us, “Dayenu” – it would still be enough. On this Rabbi Riemer wrote, “For even partial favors are still favors. And even small miracles are still miracles.”

There is a midrash about two Israelites, Shimon and Reuven, trudging through the mud of the Red Sea at the time of the Exodus. Shimon is ecstatic over God’s wonder and that his life was saved. Reuven sulks all the way across muttering, “Look at this mud! I’m wearing a brand new pair of boots that I bought just before we left Egypt. And by the time we get to the other side, these boots are going to be so full of mud that I will never get them clean again.”

The choice is ours. We can feel gratitude in witnessing God’s glory in the world, or we can focus on the mud. Starting this Passover, let’s try to be more attentive to all of God’s miracles, Can we label such moments as “small miracles?” The Baal Shem Tov is asking us to do just that, to take our hand away from our eyes in order to see God’s majesty, manifest in coincidences, unexpected reunions, and a jar of pickles.

Shalom,

Rabbi Pont

7 Rules of Life

Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.What others think of you is none of your business.Time heals almost everything, give it time.Don’t compare your life to others and don’t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.Stop thinking too much, it’s alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.No one is in charge of your happiness, except you. Smile. You don’t own all the problems in the world.

On Being a Teaching CantorBy Cantor Elias Roochvarg

Some cantors have voices like real Rolls Royces: You hear just one note and you’re awed.When they sing a prayer, well, everyone there thinks they’re hearing directly from Gawd.Some cantors have entrepreneurial skills. They bring six concerts a year.

From CantorWayne Krieger

From Klezmers to Rappers and other toe-tappers, in whatever style you want to hear.Some cantors compose (there are a handful of those), and others lead three and four choirs.These skills they all ply, as they sincerely try to fulfill their congregants’ desires.And then there are those…like ME, I suppose, whose gifts are more modest in size. We teach the kids the trup and pray when they get up on the bimah, they won’t paralyze.We lead you in prayer, Torah readers prepare, do weddings and brisses and such, Bar Mitzvahs galore; each year a few more, and the kids all come through in the clutch.Visit the sick, console the bereaved, so many tasks in my mission! And then, I should add; aren’t you glad that my wife is a pediatrician.And so, though my voice is not a Rolls Royce, nor even a Mercedes or Hummer,I love this profession and each Bar Mitzvah session. To do anything else would be a bummer!

From the PresidentJeff Katz

Winter is finally over and we all deserve a nice warm spring. There are many things going on at MJC during the spring to look forward to. Passover is just around the corner and has always been one of my favorite Jewish holidays.

April 14 is our annual Yom Hashoah program and this year we have scheduled a speaker that should be very interesting. She tells the personal story of her father and also talks about how we must stand up to hatred and Anti-Semitism today. She also happens to be the sister of one of our congregants, Ellen Blumen. If you have not attended one of these programs in the past, please mark it on your calendars. It is critical that as Jews we never forget.

Our biennial Journal Dinner Dance is coming up on May 31. This year’s Journal honors our immediate Past President Jay Solomon who I had the pleasure of working closely with for two years as his Executive Vice President. We are also honoring Lori Solomon for her outstanding leadership of our Youth Programs for the past 13 years. Many of our kids have participated in her Youth programs including my two kids. In addition, we are honoring Howard Topal with the Ohev Shalom award for his many years of dedicated service to MJC. He has served as a trustee, chaired the House Committee and has always been willing to step up and help where needed.

The Journal is an opportunity for us all to support MJC and celebrate along with our honorees. The Journal is also an opportunity for members and our local business community to support MJC with a donation. MJC members support the local business community all year long and this is a chance for them to give back. If you own a local business or would like to help with soliciting donations please contact Bonnie Komito or me. The Journal is an important part of our fundraising goal for the year so please consider a donation.

There will be two congregation meetings coming up in the April/May time period. The first meeting is to elect officers and trustees for our next fiscal year. The second is to vote on the budget for next year. The Budget Committee has been working hard to develop a well thought out and balanced budget for next year. Please try to attend and support MJC at these meetings.

In many of my reports I encourage you to attend one of our services or events. They are an opportunity to mingle and hang out with friends and fellow congregants. They also may make you feel a little better inside as you feed your soul. Recently, I attend a joint B’nai Mitzvah (Riklan) on a Saturday morning. The kids did a terrific job in leading the service and teaching us some Torah. Later in the service came a special event. As the processional to return the Torah to the ark began, the sanctuary doors opened and in marched 40 kids from our pre-school. They marched behind the Torah and climbed the bima to watch the end of the Torah service. I defy anyone to witness this and not have a big smile.

I also attended the first of Allan Sugarman’s March discussions. There was a very nice turnout and as always, Allan did a wonderful job of teaching and entertaining us with some Jewish History. Please look for more of these types of events in the future and plan to attend one of them. We are trying to plan events that will be meaningful and engaging for the MJC community.

Happy Pesach and L’ShalomJeff

Condolences To:Elyse and David Spiewak on the passing of David’s mother, Helene Spiewak.

Rhonda and Mark Eiger on the passing of Mark’s grandmother, Lillian Stein.

When I looked at the Jewish calendar for April there was a picture of a page in the Haggadah and a piece of Matzah. The page shown had a copy of the Four Questions and what struck me was that the word “why” was bolded and stood out in English and Hebrew. “Why” is a question that most of us must ask ourselves and others countless times a day. In this context it refers to the why’s of Pesach, but in the month of April it has an even broader meaning for the Jewish people.

As the month continues, we celebrate Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom Hazikaron - Israeli Memorial Day and Yom Ha’atzmaut - Israel Independence Day. Beginning with Passover, each of these holidays requires that we remember the history of our ancient ancestors and more recent generations, and that we retell the story. But why? Why is it important to remember and why is it important to celebrate these holidays that are both joyous and somber? It is in the retelling that we carry on the traditions of the Jewish people. We get the chance to share the stories with our children and within our congregation. This action and observance cements the sacred connection between generations and keeps our community strong.

Passover is probably my favorite holiday. The Seder memories of my childhood have shaped everything about the way my family still celebrates this holiday - the foods we prepare, the way we set the tables and arrange the Seder plate, and the absolute sheer joy of bringing together nuclear and extended family with friends and neighbors. I truly believe that my most important job as a “Gamma” is to keep creating warm and wonderful Jewish memories with my grandchildren. There’s no better way than to share all the delicious smells and tastes, the glow of the candles, the wonderful traditions and the stories of the Haggadah and Pesach’s past, and of course the hunt for the affikomen. The lessons about freedom, advocacy and ritual also ring clear through the story that is retold and understood as the children listen, participate and mature year to year.

From TheExecutiveDirector

Bonnie Komito

At a time when the Jewish community in Europe has rising fears, our college youth are facing growing Anti-Israel bias and anti-Semitism on campuses throughout our country, and acts of random violence occur throughout the world – all of these lessons that we learn by observing the Jewish Holidays in April have renewed meaning. As we are taught to remember, retell and advocate for what is good, participation in the community is really important.

Sharing information and staying on top of the news is vital to a secure future. Ongoing programs at MJC bring current information to the congregation through the Israel Affairs Committee, Adult Education, Second Generation and Torah and Talmud Study. The children in our Hebrew School also participate in thought provoking, contemporary Jewish discussions that shape their values and address the question “Why.” When we learn together within the congregation, each individual adult or child becomes a participant in the larger community and is able to interpret contemporary issues in the context of Jewish history, tradition and text.

The same goes for programs that seem more social in nature. Whether you are coming to Sisterhood or Men’s Club programming, a Prime Timer’s meeting, a Shabbat Dinner or a Simcha, coming together is good for the community and for you! We invite you to save the date, Sunday, May 31st at 7:00 pm for the 2015 Gala Dinner Dance in honor of Past President, Jay Solomon, Howard Topal, the Ohev Shalom Award Winner, and Lori Solomon, in honor of Distinguished Service to MJC Youth Programs. Please join us to celebrate these leaders that inspire our community.

Have a Zissen Pesach, a sweet and happy month of April, and a meaningful answer to some of the Why’s of Jewish life!

If you are anything like me, you are probably reading this article after the Passover Seders have come and gone. Who has time to do anything else on the days leading up to the Seders? We are shopping, cleaning, cooking, planning and inviting. We love to invite guests to our seders. It is part of our tradition and we love sharing what we do with extended family and friends. Very often our kids would plan a year in advance which friend they would get to invite the following year. Many times these were non-Jewish friends who expressed an interest in Jewish and religious customs in general. Our guests were participants in my family’s favorite holiday. We commonly dress up the customary table script with recreations of the story of Moses, singing popular song parodies made especially for the seder, toy plagues and once even sitting in tents for the first part of the seder (as if we personally made the journey out of Egypt)! Our guests went right along with us, very much included in the fun.

So you could imagine my surprise this past year when a Jewish friend of mine said that “non-Jews are not allowed at a seder.” I had never heard anything limiting like that. “Let those who are hungry come and eat.” That is the line from the Hagaddah. That is the line that we have interpreted to mean any one who is hungry for knowledge, traditions, warmth. We also interpret it literally and donate to food banks or invite someone who cannot make one on their own. But where did my friend’s idea come from? After doing some research I found there was a context for that belief in some circles. The context seems to stem from the idea that there is a prohibition on cooking during the Yom Tovim for anyone but those who are commanded to observe Passover (so that there is enough for them). Another context may be that no uncircumcised male can eat from the Paschal lamb which represents the sacrifice. And still another source, as suggested by Rabbi Pont, may be from the fear of disruption by an anti-Semitic guest as might have been true during certain centuries.

But according to a response written by Rabbi Rivon Krygier (Adathshalom.org), there is a long list of reasons why a non-Jewish guest can and should be invited. These reasons include education, honoring of one’s parents (that of intermarriage or conversion), to bring people close, and finally, to walk in ways of peace. This last one seems very relevant to me given the political climate of the last year. The more people

Ritually Speakingunderstand and experience the joy of Jewish ritual the more good “Public Relations” we can nurture.

My family has always gained a wealth of enjoyment and warmth from having special guests both Jewish and non-Jewish at our Seder. We get the chance to be teachers and to share with others the joy we receive from our Jewish traditions and identities. It helps to make it all new, year after year and we do not tire of the Seder. It is by far our most favorite holiday, matza and all.

Pesach is one of the Shalosh Regalim (3 Pilgrimage Days). Besides the food, it is full of tradition and Torah study! Make a pilgrimage to MJC on April 4 & 5 and again to close the holiday on April 10 & 11th to sing Hallel, study Torah and enjoy the pageantry of the service.

So, if you did get a minute to reach this before Pesach is over, from our home to yours, I wish you a zissen pesach, a Chag Pesach sameach and a spirit of renewal that comes from reveling in our Jewish traditions.

See you in shul! Andrea

Israel Affairs

Yom Ha’atzmaut - Israel Independence DayLast May we celebrated Israel Independence Day with MJC’s First Annual Yom Ha’atzrmaut dinner. Our menu was foods you would typically eat in Israel. Dave from Exquisite Caterers worked with us to make it a “different” dining experience for the 165 people (yes that many) who attended. Our JNF speaker told us about all the infrastructure projects that were in progress, besides planting trees. It was a ful-fill-ing evening from a dining, JNF and Shabbat experience. The Hebrew calendar follows the lunar cycle and dates change. The Second Annual Yom Ha’atzmaut dinner (actually begins on 4/23) will be on Friday April 24th at 7 PM, we will keep most of the menu items and try to add a few new ones.

As part of our involvement with JNF, MJC partnered with LOTEM - Making Nature Accessible. This organization makes parks and outdoor facilities accessible to physically challenged people and children with special needs. The kids in the school and others in the MJC family are aware of this and similar programs. In Israel, where most teens enter the IDF when they are eighteen and have finished high school, what happens to the special needs youth? They see their “friends” leave for military service and they are not included, that is until now.

A new “Special in Uniform” program in Israel integrates these youth into the IDF. It prepares them for careers outside the IDF that use their full potential and promotes a more inclusive society. Our speaker will be Lieutenant Colonel Tiran Attia who retired from the IDF in 2014 and is now the Director of “Special in Uniform”, a new JNF Partner. Prior to that he spent ten years as the commander of Sar-El, which brings in 10,000 volunteers from thirty countries each year, to do volunteer projects for the IDF. That brought him into contact with people who had disabilities and wanted to volunteer. The Sar-El program evolved to include them in supporting the IDF. He will be joining us after services for more discussion.

Yom Ha’Zikaron This is an annual day of Remembrance in Israel that memorializes those who have fallen since 1860 when Jews first moved to Palestine, whether soldier or civilian, and includes Victims of Terrorism. The sirens sound, vehicles stop, drivers and pedestrians stand at attention in memory of the victims. For those few minutes the country comes to a complete stop. This year we are pleased to begin a program with the Hebrew School, explaining the significance of this day. We are working with Rav Ron Koas on the program that will include a video about Michael Levin, a Lone Soldier from Holland PA, who died fighting for Israel in the 2006 Lebanon engagement. This will be held at the Chai building on Tuesday evening 4/21. Watch the weekly newsletter and other e-mails for details.

Israel Night at the MoviesOur future schedule is The Ballad of the Weeping Spring 4/19 and Kadosh 5/ 17. This is still FREE for MJC members and only $7 for non-members, with refreshments included.

YOM HASHOAH PROGRAMTUESDAY, APRIL 14, 2015 - 7:00 PM

SANDY RUBENSTEINGUEST SPEAKER

Second Generation of Marlboro Jewish Center will present our Yom HaShoah Remembrance Program on Tuesday, April 14th at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary. Sandy Rubenstein will be our guest speaker.

Sandy Rubenstein is a teacher at the Horace Mann School in New York. Teaching is her passion, what she loves to do and has been doing for over thirty years. She is also the child of Holocaust survivors. In 1996, her father, Joseph Horn, published his memoirs, Mark It With a Stone, the fulfillment of a life-long dream. In 2008, the book was reprinted in paperback, with an introduction written by Sandy Rubenstein from the point of view of a child of survivors.

With his book in hand, Horn began speaking of his experiences at schools and community groups in order to actualize the words he chose for his foreword: “I implore God to give me the strength to do justice to those we left behind. To tell their story and mine so it may touch the hearts of people, now and in the future. To make sure, to the extent that I can, that our ordeal will not have been in vain.”

Joseph Horn was also interviewed by Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation in 1995 and left behind a three-hour visual and oral testimony of his recollections of the war years, a gift for his family and for future generations, a tribute to the loved ones who perished, a record of his ordeal.

Joseph Horn passed away in 1999, 30 years after moving to Glen Rock and 60 years after the Nazis began a series of devastating actions that would leave him as the sole survivor of his Polish family.

Sandy Rubenstein, speaks to middle and high school students and others. Teaching about the lessons of the Holocaust is a calling, a compelling force for her. As she relates her father’s story, sharing excerpts from his book, she intersperses video clips of her father speaking directly about his experiences: a powerful medium. Students are riveted and full of questions. She addresses the need for young people, our future leaders, to reflect on their own moral responsibilities to stand up against today’s hate, bigotry, and genocide.

Sandy Rubenstein has been selected to receive the Honey and Maurice Axelrod Award, given in cooperation with The New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education and The Anti-Defamation League of New Jersey. This award recognizes individuals whose work “is making a significant

difference in eliminating bias, bigotry and intolerance wherever and whenever they exist.”

Horn and his wife, Dinah, did not discuss their wartime experiences with their three daughters — not until Sandy, at age 10, discovered a black notebook with yellowed pages covered in her father’s handwriting.

“I knew it was something my parents didn’t want me to see,” Sandy Rubenstein recalls today. “I locked myself in the bathroom [to read it] because I yearned to know where they got those tattoos, why they spoke with foreign accents, why we had no grandparents. I read voraciously, and the more I read the less I really understood.”

The stories gradually started spilling out when she confronted her parents with her discovery. The notebook, she learned, contained memoirs her father had started to write in a displaced-persons’ camp in Stuttgart.

“I remember the sadness that would come over his eyes when I asked certain questions,” said Rubenstein, a Woodcliff Lake resident. “He would pat my head and bemoan the fact that this was the legacy he had to leave us. He did not belabor the answers; he was patient and wise.”The Horns both came from the same city, Radom, and had met in its ghetto when Dinah (then Danka) was 12 and Joseph was 15. Dinah survived Bergen-Belsen and met up with her future husband again at the DP camp. “My father arrived in New York in 1947; my mother arrived in July 1949 and they were married in November 1949,” Rubenstein related.

“My dad was 12 when the war began, the same age as many of the children I speak to,” she said. “The day he was supposed to enter seventh grade, the bombs began to fall. There’s a clip of him talking about what it was like on that day. When we talk about statistics, it doesn’t mean anything. But to tell one personal story touches hearts.”

Rubenstein is hopeful that her presentations encourage students to “reflect on their own moral responsibility, and to stand up and fight against genocide and prejudice, which still occur today. The concept of remembrance is not only about what happened in the past, but how to behave in the future. I believe this heartfelt program marks the advent of ways to teach the Holocaust after survivors are no longer with us.”

Pre-School“Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder where the flowers is” ~Ogden Nash

This is just one version that comes to my mind of the poem that I learned as a child. There are still mountains of snow outside, but all that we in the Preschool can think of is spring, green grass and flowers. So, it seems appropriate that these are the spring themes here in the Preschool. You know it’s time for spring when the children are saying that they are so sick of snow already, enough! But, in spite of all the bad weather and complaints, we managed to keep everybody busy.

We “fought back” against a horrible February with our FUNruary month filled with great activities. Each day was something different and I can’t thank all who participated enough! We couldn’t have made FUNruary a success without the support of the encouraging parents and fabulous staff. Each day was eagerly anticipated by the children. Their excitement was contagious and we made forever memories.

I hear from parents in the public schools that their children wish they could be back here at MJC because we do “such fun things.” FUNruary ended on a Friday which enabled us to finish our special month with corresponding Shabbat Delight festivities. Shabbat was a treat with a unique celebration in our gym with all the classes together to sing Shabbat songs with Mrs. Mason. The Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers put on a Shabbat concert for all to enjoy and share in together. We made delicious challahs to eat both in school and to bring home to our families. Each age made appropriate Shabbat crafts to go home and “delight” their families.

The Grand Finale was a Shabbat Dinner at the Temple with our families. The Pre-K and Kindergarten sang beautiful Shabbat songs with Mrs. Mason. The Rabbi and Cantor delighted the children with their Shabbat repertoire. It was a delightful ending to our FUNruary indeed.

March continued the excitement with the celebrations of Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and Purim. Beautiful costumes were readied and shalach manot were made and shared with our families. We kicked off the MJC Purim Carnival with our kindergarten shining stars. I was happy to see many, many Pre-School families in attendance to enjoy the carnival.

We concluded March into April with our celebrations of Passover. The children are amazingly knowledgeable. They know the story of the exodus and the plagues that befell the Jewish people. They know about mean King Pharoah, Moses, the Dead Sea

and the fleeing Jews. They can set a Passover table and have made beautiful projects which we hope will adorn their family tables for years to come. The young children will share their knowledge at school wide Passover Seders and the Kindergarten children will do a fabulous inter-active seder which when finished will give them their own haggadahs. We even grew our own parsley during Tu B’Shevat which now should be ready for your seder plates.

We hope by the time you read this, the grass will be growing, the birds will be singing and we can’t wait for the May flowers to be in bloom. We also hope everyone has a wonderful Pesach!

Please check out the Marlboro Jewish Center Preschool Facebook page. Like us…share us! We have the best parents, faculty and office staff around, so please if you know us, have known us, or want to know us please spread the word!

It’s so nice to see families whose children have grown and whose children and grandchildren are now attending MJC Preschool. We appreciate all your support and loyalty. We don’t just “like” you, we love you…and your children!

Don’t forget to tell your friends and family to sign their children and/or grandchildren up for our great Preschool. We have it all…A fabulous, loving, experienced staff and a great “public school-like” facility. We have computer classes and a speech therapist on premises. We have Project X-tra (enrichment and/or support), and a full size gym (where not only do our children have gym each time they come to school but where we also hold our after school tennis and soccer programs). We have a wonderful music teacher, Before Care and After Care. These are just some of the extras we have to offer. We have it all and then some!

Adult EducationWe Love To Learn at MJC!We are pleased to offer you these Adult Education courses. To sign up, please call the office at 732-536-2300, or the respective individual as noted below. All sessions are held in the Main Building unless otherwise indicated.

Upcoming Courses:

The Nuremberg Trials -- Wednesday, April 1 and April 15 from 7:30 - 8:30 in the Chai BuildingThe Nuremberg Trials, where Nazi officers were tried for their crimes, almost didn’t happen. Powerful forc-es wanted no trial at all but summary execution of the leading Nazis. Winston Churchill and U. S. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau supported this position. However, Secretary of War Stimpson wanted a fair trial. At first President Roosevelt opposed a trial but then changed his mind. In this two-part session, our own Bob Salman will lead us through events leading up to the trials and highlights of the trials themself. This is a joint class with Hebrew High School and Adult Education.

Megilat Ruth -- Monday, May 4 and May 11 from 7:15 - 8:15In our canon we have several books that are read at different times during the year. Megilat Ruth, the Book of Ruth, is read on Shavuot. In the weeks before Shavuot join Dr. Beth Banks Cohn as we read the story of Ruth. It has love, romance, disappoint-ment and redemption! We’ll discuss the story, the relationship to the holiday and lessons we can use in our lives today.

Don’t Forget About These Ongoing Study Opportunities

The Rabbi’s Study Challenge!In the spirit of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Rabbi Pont has issued the MJC Rabbi’ Study Challenge. Gather eight people to your home and invite the Rabbi to come over for some Jewish learning. When we embrace Judaism at home, we do so in a comfort-able setting with friends. The topic is your choice – just let Rabbi Pont know in advance. Pick a topic that piques your interest - Jewish parenting and fam-ily issues, Bible and Jewish texts, Israel, you name it!

Here are a few ground rules:1. Groups should be at least eight people. Six

people must be members of MJC. “I am your rabbi and want to do this in order to grow and benefit our congregation. But I am also happy to spend time with your friends in the broader community.” Rabbi Pont

2. At least eight people should be Bar or Bat Mitzvah age or older.

3. The Rabbi will travel to homes in Marlboro, Morganville, Manalapan or Monroe Town-ship. If you live in another town, discuss it with Rabbi Pont.

Contact Rabbi Pont directly to accept the challenge: [email protected], or call 732-536-2300.

Shabbat Morning Study with the Rabbi Various dates, 9:15 - 10:00amBack by popular demand! Join Rabbi Pont in study-ing the Parshat HaShavua (the weekly Torah portion) before services on Shabbat morning. Come just to study or stay for our abbreviated service. Coffee, juice and cake are served. Check the Weekly Email for the latest schedule. Shabbat morning study will resume its weekly schedule for the summer months starting June 27, 2015.

The MJC Women’s Rosh Chodesh Group Now entering our second year, the MJC Rosh Chodesh Women’s Group would like to invite all women in the congregation to join us to celebrate the new month. Traditionally, Rosh Chodesh – the beginning of each new Hebrew month – was consid-ered a holiday for women. In Ancient Times, through the Middle-Ages, women did no work and joined together to enjoy each others’ company on this day. In that tradition, we will meet once a month, on or close to Rosh Chodesh to study and create a commu-nity of Jewish women. Meets once a month, in the home of Beth Cohn, according to the Rosh Chodesh calendar. Please email Beth at [email protected] for more infor-mation and a schedule.

No Hebrew needed, extremely inter-esting, keeps your brain active. Join in lively discus-sions as we learn, beginners welcome. Our longest running class, since 1986!

MJC Book Club First Tuesday of every month, 8:00pmThe MJC Book Club has been running for 40 years! We’re always open to new members and we’d be pleased to have you join us.

Ma Kore (What’s Going on) in our School / Rabbi Ron Koas

We had a very busy winter.

We had a great mock wedding for 6th graders. Students in 6th grade planned the wedding with their amazing teachers, Morah Lori and Morah Katy. They wrote a ketubah and decorated it, made a chupah, chose the bride and the groom and asked me “to officiate” the wedding. Cantor Nancy led us with Jewish wedding music and the atmosphere was very festive.

Rabbi Pont attended as a wedding crasher and told us about his wedding and showed us pictures.

All grades went to the Purim celebration in the synagogue and we all had lots of fun. Many students came with costumes. The madrichim helped with the organization of the evening.On February 20th our 5th graders had their Kabbalat Shabbat Service. The students were well prepared for the service by Cantor Nancy, Morah Lori, and Cantor Carla and Moreh Zack.

Some of our 4th graders came and participated in the service. They did a great job! Thank you Morah Robin and Morah Lily for encouraging 4th grade students to participate in this service.

In Hebrew High we continue to study Spiritual Judaism with Morah Lori, Jewish Values through movies with Moreh Zack, Jewish Cooking and Kashrut with Morah Regina, Jewish Band with Cantor Krieger and confirmation class with Rabbi Pont and Cantor Krieger.

Spring has sprung at MJC Religious School. Spring is a rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal and regrowth. It’s time to reflect and think about our school, or in simple words, how to make our school even better.

I am always here if you have any questions or suggestions about our school.

Adult Bat Mitzvah

Have you ever wished you could become a Bat Mitzvah? Maybe it wasn’t the tradition in your family growing up. Maybe you had one, but it was on a Friday night and you didn’t have the opportunity to read from the Torah. Or maybe you converted to Judaism as an adult. Whatever your reason, the opportunity to become an Adult Bat Mitzvah is back at Marlboro Jewish Center!

This two year program will cover many topics, includ-ing but not limited to: Building Blocks of Jewish Prayer, Mitzvot as a System for Jewish Living (including Mitzvot specifically for women), Shabbat, Monthly Cycles, Yearly Cycles, G-d, Torah (including Women in the Torah) and Israel.

Rabbi Pont will lead the faculty who will consist (in addi-tion to Rabbi Pont) of: Cantor Krieger, Rabbi Koas and Dr. Beth Banks Cohn.

“We are very excited to be able to offer this program to our congregants,” said Rabbi Pont recently. “There is something special about forming a group that is motivated and interested in broadening their Jewish Knowledge. And to end it with a special ceremony such as a Bat Mitzvah will be truly meaningful – not just to the women, but to their families as well.”

The group will meet for the first time on May 3rd at 10am and will meet twice monthly. The group’s Bat Mitzvah will take place on May 6, 2017. The cost for the two-year program is $180.00 for members and $360.00 for non-members.

If you are interested or have additional questions, please RSVP to one of the Adult B/M Co-Chairpersons: Rhonda Bosin at [email protected], Suzie Rubinstein at [email protected] or Rabbi Pont at [email protected].

Bereavement GroupAn Introduction to Lost & Found

Bereavement Support

The advancement of bereavement support groups can be attributed in no small part to feelings of commonality, which serve therapeutically for most individuals. The sharing of common experiences and feelings cannot develop in individual counseling. Group participants realize that they are not alone, that others have felt as they do and have moved to another plateau.

Participants not only discus their feelings, but everyday issues that are common to each member of the group. Within the safety of the group, participants are exposed to various emotions; anger, sadness, disappointment, fear, loneliness, etc. and learn from each other.

The MJC Lost and Found Bereavement Support group meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm at the Marlboro Jewish Center. The meeting for April is on Tuesday, April 14th. For information call Rabbi Pont at MJC 732-536-2300.

Upon Kindling The Yahrzeit Candle

O God, Source of life and love, we turn to You at this time of remembering, As we light this candle in memory of our departed.

In Your Keeping, the soul of our beloved still glows, As brightly as the “heavenly firmament.”Truly, “the human soul is the light of the Lord.”

By Your light, may we who lovingly remember see light:And may the memory of our departed abide with us, as a lasting benediction.
