June 29 THE LAST WATCHMAN OF OLD CAIRO: A Novel by Michael David LucasJoseph, a literature student at Berkeley, is the son of a Jewish mother and a Muslim father. One day, a mysterious package arrives on his doorstep, pulling him into a mesmerizing adventure to uncover the tangled history that binds the two sides of his family. For generaons, the men of the al-Raqb family have served as watchmen of the storied Ibn Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo, built at the site where the infant Moses was taken from the Nile. Joseph learns of his ancestor Ali, a Muslim orphan who nearly a thousand years earlier was entrusted as the rst watchman of the synagogue and became enchanted by its legendary—perhaps magical—Ezra Scroll. The story of Joseph’s family is entwined with that of the Brish twin sisters Agnes and Margaret, who in 1897 depart their hallowed Cambridge halls on a mission to rescue sacred texts that have begun to disappear from the synagogue.

July 20 THE WORLDS WE THINK WE KNOW (Stories) by Dalia Rosenfeld

Fiercely funny and enrely original, this debut collecon of stories takes readers from the United States to Israel and back again to examine the mysfying reaches of our own minds and hearts.

The characters of The Worlds We Think We Know are animated by forces at once passionate and perplexing. At a city zoo, a mismatched couple unite by releasing rare birds. A er being mugged in the streets of New York, a professor must repeat the crime to recover his memory―and his lost love. In Tel Aviv, a sandstorm rages to expose old sorrows and fears as far away as Ohio. And from an unnamed Eastern European country, a woman haunts the husband who le her behind for a new life in America.

August 24 UNDERGROUND FUGUE by Margot Singer

Esther, an American art conservator, has ed New York for London—partly to escape her failing marriage, partly to tend to her dying mother. On her rst night there, she spots a young man returning home very late, wet and muddy, to the house next door. Their eyes connect and he disappears inside. This rst encounter sparks Esther’s curiosity about her new neighbors: Amir, the moody college student she caught sneaking in, and, more intriguing sll, Amir’s father, Javad—a neuroscienst from Iran. Sweeping, suspenseful, and exquisitely wrien, Underground Fugue is a powerful testament to how human connecon can survive history’s most fearsome echoes.

Dear Friends:

Journeys are o�en predicated upon which doors we choose to open. �e portals that we seek to enter, the doors we open to

explore, and at times, the doors that close in front of or behind us, may necessitate embarking on new pathways.

As you enter DHJC this summer, it will become readily apparent that new construction is underway. Our panel of bronze front doors that have been the main upper level entranceway are �nally being replaced. �ey have been our entranceway for decades – and we will be temporarily entering DHJC through the Sandler Minyan Chapel entrance. Our new doors are fabricated of wood and glass and will be much more secure and above all present a warmer and more welcoming entranceway as our lobby area is also being renovated.

“Pitchu lee shaarey tzedek” proclaims the psalmist – open for me portals of righteousness! As we modernize and renovate our entranceway, it becomes an apt metaphor of how we enter and welcome all into our Jewish home.

We strive as a community to be open, accessible, welcoming and encouraging to all who enter our shul. And this summer we encourage everyone to try a new way to enter the synagogue – and we o�er so many creative and joyous reasons to navigate your way INTO DHJC!

�e summer months a�ord many of us extra moments and Judaism is a faith that sancti�es and elevates time. �is can be the summer when we open the doors of Jewish living to explore our Jewish world, to enter doors of joy and study and portals of prayer and friendship.

Each Friday evening at 7 pm you can enter our world of Fun Fridays, Shabbat prayers that are upli�ing, where you

meet your neighbors and friends. Our Fun Fridays are multi-generational casual evenings of spirited prayers and themed dessert receptions from Summer Splashes to Baseball Regalia, Sephardi heritage and Woodstock Shabbat.

We celebrate on the beach as well – on Fridays, July 26 and August 23 at Crab Meadow State Beach – yes, we have found the only non-kosher named beach on Long Island! Welcoming Shabbat on Long Island Sound is a fabulous, soulful experience – join us at 5:30 pm.

Each Shabbat morning at DHJC throughout the summer, during our prayers at 11 am, we celebrate our Summer Shabbat Scholars. �e wisdom and inspiration presented by our DHJC members range from Geology and the Bible, to Jewish Genealogy to Travelogues and other fascinating topics – camaraderie, joyous prayers and elaborate Kiddush collations included!

Each Shabbat/Saturday evening at approximately 8 pm and in August at 7:45 pm, we gather to bid shalom to the Shabbat for prayers, Torah study and ice cream. A sweet way to conclude Shabbat!

Our summer studies listing is included in this Scroll and the portals of Jewish learning are 24/7 at DHJC from Jewish Films, to Shalom Y’all – the Jews of the South to Bible and much more! And we have summer book reviews on periodic Shabbat a�ernoons and great book recommendations for summer readings to expand our horizons and whether on the beach, in your travels or at home, meet new and vibrant Jewish authors.

In addition, wherever you may travel this summer, I am more than delighted to open doors of fabulous Jewish journeys for you. Let me know where you are going, and I can provide local Jewish sites to see, kosher restaurant options and apprise you of the synagogue scene where you will be. And not to miss are the culinary delights

of several remarkable new and top rated kosher restaurants in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Five Towns from Doma Land & Sea to Allenbys and Bison & Bourbon!

And of course you can travel with you DHJC family to the Baltics this summer or to Israel this December. More information in �e Scroll and at dhjc.org! We also have two trips to �e Museum of Jewish Heritage in Battery Park – one in July and one in September. And enjoy the photos in this summer Scroll including our recent DHJC teen travels to Iceland (a Jewish environmental mission).

Our Sisterhood, Men’s Club, Social Action and Hazak groups have an array of events for you to explore as well. Enter DHJC in all the new pathways we blaze for you!

And of course, as our new temporary portal is through the Sandler minyan chapel, become a Minyanaire and join us any morning or evening, every day of the year for our prayers. Our daily minyan is the proud heart and soul of DHJC and a source of friendship, soulful strength and meaningful spiritual moments open to each of us every morning and evening. You are most welcome!

Yes, we are opening new portals to DHJC – our doors are always open and our mission to present rich, rewarding, creative and joyous Jewish experiences can truly enhance our summer and our lives!

With best wishes and blessings.

Shalom,Rabbi Howard R. Buechler

Jewish music has a fascinating history. Depending on where the Jews have settled, our music has been in�uenced by the surrounding culture,

while at the same time holding onto much of our traditional melodic and liturgical practices. One of the areas that I have begun researching is the Jews of Italy and their musical traditions. Did you know that Jewish people have a long

history in Italy, originating over two thousand years ago? �e music of the Jewish people in Italy has three distinct in�uences: “…Italian, Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions, with Italian musical culture and its innumerable cultural, regional and linguistic di�erences.” (Source: ON THE MUSIC OF THE JEWS OF ROME - Francesco Spagnolo, University of California, Berkeley). On the Cantors Assembly Mission to Spain in 2016, I learned that Sephardic Jews from Spain immigrated to Italy and Greece to escape the Inquisition.Most of us are familiar with Italian music as

opera, sung by amazing voices with power and passion. And so, liturgical music followed with many compositions written in the operatic style. As Jewish music developed in Italy during the time of the Haskalah (Emancipation) in the 19th century, cantors and lay composers began creating amazing choral repertoires and even adding instrumental music to the prayer experience. �e music of the Synagogue was not the only

place where the Jews had their presence felt. Jewish musicians were active during the late Renaissance/Baroque period. A�er the Haskalah, Jewish performers and composers became involved with opera and even composed operettas. Some served at court as concert masters where they entertained Dukes and their guests. Much of the origins of the Italian music culture can

be found in the works of Salamone Rossi, an Italian Jewish composer and violinist (ca. 1570 – 1630).

Rossi was unique because he not only composed and entertained for court, he also wrote Jewish liturgical compositions using popular music of his time (Baroque), and using the Hebrew language. His music represents the blending of the Italian musical style during that time period and the liturgical style of the Synagogue.By the beginning of the 20th century, Jewish

involvement in the Italian music scene became prominent, including musicologists, ethnomusicologists, performers, and music historians, several of whom taught in universities. Unfortunately, by the late 1930’s, Mussolini’s regime enacted strong Anti-Semitic laws, which forced the Jewish presence out of the general Italian musical community. Many of the composers of the time �ed Italy and only a few of the families returned. �ough we have a lot of records of the music of the

Jewish people in Italy, much of the creativity came to a sudden halt during the time of the Holocaust. Since the Holocaust there has been a reconstruction of Jewish communities and their liturgy in Italy. Much of this was done via recordings, public performances and education. �ere was a strong oral musical tradition that kept Italian Jewish music alive during troubling times. Much of the work created by Jewish composers,

not only in Italian music but also Liturgical music, was lost during this period. Only now, through research, are we �nding out the names of many of these composers, performers, and musicians, and their musical works. Over the next few newsletter articles, I will be

writing more about Jewish music in Italy as an introduction to the Cantors Assembly mission to Italy from June 22 through July 2, 2020.

From our PresidentOne year! Yes, as of this “Scroll” I will have completed my �rst year as your President. What a ride so far! �ere is much to highlight and for those who attended the congregational meet-ing, I shared with you the multitude of

programs, events, and celebrations we had during this year. For this article, let me focus on our two major spring events, the Chaiathlon and the Cantor’s Concert.We could not have gotten better weather for our annual Chaiathlon. Over 100 people came out to Caledonia Park to bike, run, walk, play so�ball and of course, enjoy a full BBQ lunch while raising funds for the congregation. A hearty “�ank You” to Brenda Rosenberg and her hard-working committee for once again providing a fun and successful event. Our sanctuary was �lled with song on May 30th for our annual Cantor’s Concert. �e theme this year was “Songs of Peace and Love” and the Cantor, along with his special guest cantors and some of our children, put on a fantastic show. Yasher Koach to our long-time co-chairs, Ellen and Len Zuckerman, who have worked tirelessly for many years to make this annual concert an enjoyable evening, while also raising funds for our congregation.�ese programs started out as ideas and are now mainstays in the DHJC year. I welcome our congregants to share ideas for programming with me, either in person or by email, at yourdhjcvoice@gmail.com. Next time, it could be your idea I am sharing in my article.As I enter the �nal year of my Presidency, we begin with a newly elected slate of O�cers and Board of Trustees. I look forward to working with all of them. I also encourage all of our members to get involved by joining the many committees we have here at DHJC. I would like to recognize two retiring Board Members, Nina Sandler and Steve Cohen.

Nina Sandler has been a long-time member of our Board and I had the honor of serving as an o�cer during her Presidency. Nina has always led with a kind and determined demeanor along with a southern twang when speaking. She has never said no when asked to serve and support the synagogue. Many of our capital projects, events and celebrations have been supported by Nina, including our Sandler Minyan Chapel. �e daily Minyan is a core part of our congregation, and this chapel, lovingly dedicated in the memory of her late husband, Julian, is one of the jewels of the Dix Hills Jewish Center. I know I speak not only on behalf of our Board but the entire congregation when I express how grateful we are for her service, support and love of the Dix Hills Jewish Center. Every President needs an advisor, or to quote the famous movie �e Godfather, a “consigliere.” Steve Cohen has played that role for several years. Steve was instrumental in shepherding the successful merger with the Commack Jewish Center almost 5 years ago. As a regular of the morning minyan, Steve can take the pulse of our congregants and share with the leadership. He has been a voice of reason when needed, and also one of passion, when seeing an opportunity for the growth of our congregation. I, along with those he has advised and hopefully will advise in the future, thank Steve for his guidance and support. As summer begins, take note that the DHJC does not slow down in the summer. July and August will be �lled with summer programming and opportunities for learning, all while our lobby renovation continues. Take a look at our Executive Director, Ed Ward’s article which highlights the summer capital projects along with our continued security upgrades.I wish you all a fun, healthy and enjoyable summer!

Day-to-Day with the Executive Director

Ahhh, the summer! �e kids are o� to camp, the tra�c is a bit less and time slows down.Well, that’s not happening at the Dix Hills Jewish Center. In fact, this will be

one of the busiest summers during my time here. We have already begun work on our new lobby project which includes new doors and a fresh interior lobby be�tting our congregation. We will need your cooperation and understanding as the work continues. In June, you received an email highlighting the temporary closing of the circle in the front of our building and moving our entrance to the minyan chapel. Don’t worry, our security guard, Frank, will still be there to greet you with a smile.We are excited that our congregation received a $50,000 grant from New York State to further upgrade our exterior

security. �is will include extending our fence line parallel to Vanderbilt from the ECA Playground, past the Garden Room patio. In addition, we will be adding more exterior cameras and lighting, both on the building and in the parking lots. We are also hoping to hear from the Federal Government in August regarding our application for $100,000 of funding to subsidize our interior security. While we hope to receive the funding, our commitment to the safety of our members is our priority. Other building renovations will include laying new tile in the dairy kitchen and hallway and adding programmatic areas to our ECA playground. Of course, even with all of this going on, we will not let anything interfere with preparing for the high holidays. �roughout the pages of this edition, you will see the many programs that will be taking place this summer and I encourage you to participate in as many as you can. We love it when our building is full!Have a wonderful summer!

Your DHJC Sisterhood

Greetings Friends,As the year winds down, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your help, guidance and support in this, my �rst year as President. Trying to balance a demanding work schedule, a busy home life and my other roles at the Temple has been challenging at times. Kudos to the guys who came before me - the names on the plaque - for all their hard work and dedication and especially to our current crop of O�cers and Trustees. It really takes a village to brainstorm and execute events and I am beyond grateful for everyone’s help. We truly are STRONGER TOGETHER.

�at being said, we are already working on events for the fall. Our “Best Little Local Golf Outing” (that’s just a working title) is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, September 22.

I’m pleased to announce that Comedy Night will be returning on Saturday, November 23, so watch for a

�yer/poster and a FANTASTIC early bird o�er.

Depending on interest, we are also talking about starting a Men’s Club Fantasy Football league. �is has the potential to be a great Father/Kid activity, so watch for news about that this summer.

Also, our annual Veteran’s Day program will be on Sunday, November 10 and our Sports Brunch is scheduled for Sunday, March 1, 2020. Not to mention our joint MISTERHOOD events throughout the year as well.

Once again, my thanks for a great �rst year and my sincere best wishes for a wonderful summer!!

Social ActionCAN: Community Answering Needs We CAN accomplish anything together! �ank you!

The mission of the DHJC Social Action Committee is to act in ways that empower others and treat them with respect, and to recognize that Tikkun Olam, Repairing the World, is an integral part of our Jewish heritage. The Social Action Committee of the DHJC works toward creating a more caring community and demonstrates the impact that we can have on our world.

How CAN we each act, do a good deed, a mitzvah that can make a di�erence for someone’s life? Here is a sampling of some of the work of the Social Action Committee.

What does it mean to be homeless on Long Island? – We CAN learn about the problem – and we CAN help those in need: Long Island Coalition for the HomelessGreta Guarton, Executive Director of the LI Coalition for the Homeless, spoke to us in May about the needs on Long Island where 4000 people, including 2000 children, are homeless. �e mission of the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless is to eliminate homelessness on Long Island and improve the lives of Long Islanders who are homeless or facing homelessness. �ey help people with emergency housing, so no one has to sleep on the street, with transitional housing, and with permanent low-cost housing. We CAN help. �ank you for donating toiletries; we made 100 packages to be distributed to those in need.

We CAN give a few hours a week to tutor children in a Homeless Shelter.In the words of Andrea Aronin, Childcare Coordinator, Family Service League: �ank you so much for your support of the children at our facility! It has been a successful school year for the children with our Homework Help program. �is is because of the tutors like Gene who come to assist and support them with their schoolwork!Gene Fossner tells us about his experience:Helping homeless children with homework turns out to be a rewarding task. Kids in grades 1-5 need help in math, reading and occasionally some science projects. Most children appreciate one-on-one interaction and the shelter has various tools to make instructions stress-free and comfortable. At the end of the 2-hour session, the parents pick up their kids and they appreciate that at least one of their problems is being taken care of. And I’m thankful that I was able to perform a mitzvah.You, too, CAN help if you have time from 4:00-6:00 on weekday a�ernoons and you are a college student or older. Contact socialaction@dhjc.org

We CAN provide a bit of comfort to people who are getting medical treatment. Maureen Sukman coordinates our Lap Blanket program, writing:�e Social Action Committee and other DHJC members continue to distribute homemade blankets to the Commack Memorial Sloan Kettering Center. �ese lap blankets (30”x35”) are o�ered to cancer patients at the Center. While hospital blankets are of course provided, they are the standard, thin sort and do not provide any real warmth and comfort. An administrator for the center shared that receiving hand-made blankets cheers patients up a bit and warms them inside and out. Some of the patients will come back with their blanket and use it for the duration of their treatment. While going through their treatment it is nice to know that someone has thought of them and their challenges and they feel supported by the members of the community.�is month we were fortunate to be able to donate three more blankets and many thanks to those who made these gi�s. A special thank you to Arline Berezowsky who constantly donates her time and makes one or more blankets every month! Anyone can participate in this mitzvah. You, too, CAN help if you crochet, knit, quilt, sew . . . Please contact the Social Action Committee or leave your crocheted lap blanket in our Social Action bins in the DHJC front entrance.

Literacy is the key to changing lives. Here is a place where you CAN help if you have one morning a week available. �e Opening Word is a

literacy program which teaches the English language and job readiness skills to immigrant women on Long Island, a population which is o�en underserved, undereducated, and/or underemployed.

Alice Fossner, one of the DHJC volunteers, writes:I want to tell you a little about one activity that I have been involved in for a few years – it is an English literacy and job readiness program for women called �e Opening Word. �is program has empowered immigrant women for over 25 years. It is run by the Sisters of St. Dominic at three locations: Wyandanch, Huntington Station and Amityville. �e women students come �ve days a week from 9 to 2 o’clock. Volunteer teachers usually pick one day a week to teach. �e Sisters prepare the lesson plans and regularly test the students’ progress to make sure they are on appropriate learning levels. �e women students hail from many di�erent countries – Honduras, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Turkey, Ethiopia, Peru, Pakistan, Ecuador, etc. �eir level of education ranges from barely literate to those with advanced degrees. In spite of di�erences, the atmosphere in the classes is one of camaraderie, fun and enthusiasm. �ere are many success stories that are very inspiring. If you would like more information about this most satisfying and meaningful involvement, please contact our Social Action Committee and I will gladly talk with you.

We CAN provide �nancial support to six local charitable organizations with our time, and by donating what we no longer need.

�e Community �ri� Shop, located at 274 New York Avenue in Huntington Village, is sta�ed by volunteers who give their time to one of six organizations: Planned Parenthood, Visiting Nurse/Hospice, Cancer Care, Daytop, Huntington Hospital, and Family Service League.

Cooki Cohn who volunteers for Planned Parenthood writes:I looked for a way to help Planned Parenthood beyond my monthly monetary donations. I found my way to the Community �ri� Shop in Huntington as I was donating items and met the people who were volunteering. For a few hours a week, �exible to �t your schedule from 9-4, you CAN volunteer by sorting donated items, pricing, setting up

displays, cashiering. �e money earned from the donations goes to the organizations. �rough my work with other volunteers for Planned Parenthood we donate thousands of dollars each year that goes directly to provide services at the Planned Parenthood facilities in Su�olk County.You CAN help – contact socialaction@dhjc.org

Religious School

My Dear Congregants,�e last two months of school are always so busy, between the Holidays and class events, you get the feeling you are in a never-ending party.For Pesach, we had our “Pesach Day,” a special Family program which covers di�erent topics of Pesach, including art and drama.

Gimel students worked very hard to prepare themselves for Haggigat Ha’Siddur, (receiving the Siddur). �e Gimel parents spent a pleasant evening decorating their children’s siddurim. �e Siddurim are, as always, a gi� from Sisterhood. THANK YOU, Sisterhood!�e Hay class topic for this year was Famous Jewish People. Each child did research about their person, wrote a paper and prepared a poster. �e parents were invited to a presentation where the children dressed up as their person and presented him/her in the Virtual Museum.�e Vav class �nished a yearlong project called Shorashim (Roots). �e students investigated their family’s roots and shared it in a beautiful album, which holds family stories, pictures and documents. �e Vav class also had a research project called “�e Righteous Gentiles Among the Nations,” which was shared in the classes. �e Zayin class visited the Holocaust Museum in Temple Judea, a trip that was sponsored by our Social Action Committee. A school project for this year, for Israel’s 71st Birthday, was to create a stamp for the event. �e winning

stamp was made by Kira Schwartz and Jordyn Steinberg, and their class got an ice-cream party on the last day of school.On May 14th United Synagogue held their annual Keter Torah Ceremony. At this event, Zayin students who demonstrated excellence were honored and received certi�cates from United Synagogue. It was a very moving event and Mazal Tov to the Keter Torah honorees: Joshua Ayres; Liam Berg; Matthew Fingerman; Nathan Glick; Josie Kleinberg; Hayley Morris; Jordyn Morris; Alexa Nissenbaum; Jeremy Shatzer and Jack Simon; To Reese Jurman for receiving the Akiba Award (doing above in Tikkun Olam and volunteering weekly in Religious School) and to Jack Goldfried who received the Mensch Award. Very special Mazal Tov wishes to our Zayin Talmidat Hamachazor, Hayley Morris. We are so proud of you all!�is year we say farewell to our wonderful primary grade teacher, Robin Faiguenbaum who was with us for thirteen years and was loved by all her students. She is retiring and we will miss her. Also, to our sweet Shinshinit, Hila, who goes back to Israel to serve in the army. And �nally, to our wonderful Vav teacher, Liat, who will also be missed. We wish all of them a lot of luck in the future. Congratulations to our Gimel students on receiving their siddurim and Mazal Tov to our Zayin graduates.Have a nice summer,

Ricky Tadmor

LETTER OF APPRECIATION May 10, 2019

I want to take this opportunity to thank Dix Hills Jewish Center and all of the congregants that have assisted mein supporting my congregation �. Temple Adat Yisrael in Lagos, Nigeria. This recent Passover celebration inNigeria was the best yet. The supplies of Matzot and other Kosher for Passover edibles were much appreciatedand certainly used. This has truly been a love affair between DHJC and Nigeria. For the past 10 years I have beenthe Rabbi of Temple Adat Yisrael. We have been fortunate to have received an ample supply of prayer books;Chumashim; Kippot; Talasim; Mezzuzot; Bench Books; Chanukiot; Havdalah candles; as well as Jewish text booksand other Jewish things. In addition, I have been able to consecrate the first Genezah and Jewish Cemetery inNigeria as well as officiate bar and bat mitzvahs; Weddings; and literally over one hundred namings. This couldnot have been possible without the support of DHJC members and Rabbi Buechler. Even our Hebrew School hasdonated study books for my congregants� children. HOWEVER �� we can always use more. Any donations arewelcome and can be given directly to the main office or the Rabbi or myself.

Words cannot express the gratitude and thanks that we feel for all the wonderful congregants and families at Dix Hills Jewish Center. The outpouring of support and generosity to help us through such a tragic, difficult time was priceless and appreciated. The DHJC community and beyond have helped to

reinforce to us that no matter what we lost in our home, we were strong and could persevere through this with the love and support of family and our community. We can replace all the tangible items, but

we were fortunate to be unharmed and safe. We were lucky to have a place to stay until our new home was secured and ready for us to move in. We had donations of all kinds, such as clothing, food and gift

cards, that made the complete rebuild that much easier by feeling so loved and supported.

As we safely sleep in our new place, with all the new clothes, belongings, kitchen items and furniture, we are constantly reminded of the love and support that helped us return to this safe, secure home and

to embrace the love we have for each other and the security in knowing we are all here. As we live in our new home, we are always going to feel the love and support of the DHJC and beyond as everyone

was an integral part to help get us to where we are.

We know this road to rebuild is far from over, as every day we are reminded of “one more outfit we don’t have,” “another school supply that needs replacing” or “one more trophy we no longer can see,” however, we still remain strong and focus on the future not the past. We will not look back constantly

at WHAT WE LOST but focus more on what WE WILL DO and be stronger because of it.

Please know that in the immediate crisis and time of need, with sadness, worry, loss and fear, we were comforted and supported by the embrace of DHJC, the community, family and friends and are fortunate to be loved and supported as we are. We wish we could thank each and every person individually, but

that would not be possible with so much outpouring of support. Please read this letter knowing you have made the three of us realize the significance of the most important things of life. We know we are

cared for and supported, through good times and bad, and we are grateful immensely.

Much thanks and love,

Sammi, Dori and Jack Simon

JAM Goes to Iceland 2019

This year, ten of our post Bar and Bat Mitzvah students embarked on a journey that began by staying committed to their faith and to our synagogue and joining our new program J.A.M. which stands for “Jews Advocating Mitzvot.” These teens met twice a month with Rabbi Buechler to discuss what it means to be culturally Jewish in today’s society and how to be a better Jew and perform mitzvot throughout our community. They took local trips to the Jewish museum, Chocolate Works, and the Lower East Side all while learning about their traditions and history. They raised funds as “schleppers” and led a Havdallah service all to reach the ultimate goal. That goal was to keep these teens engaged throughout the year and ultimately make an environmental trip to Iceland from June 1st to June 4th.

Iceland you say? Why Iceland? When these ten teens and their ten adult chaperones stepped off the plane, it was easy to see why. All around us was the miracle of G’d’s creation. Words like “wondrous” and “majestic” barely scratch the surface of what we saw. We climbed and hiked on a glacier, we toured through a lava tunnel, and climbed basalt cliffs on a black sand beach. We walked behind a waterfall and we swam in a geothermal pool. There were rainbows everywhere. We were overwhelmed by the beauty all around us. With these experiences Rabbi Buechler taught

our JAM students about how the Torah tells us it is important to take care of the earth. Poor stewardship over the environment will affect our children in generations to come. In Exodus we are taught to let the “lands lie fallow in the seventh year” to let the land rest and regenerate. They learned how important it

is as Jews and human beings that we appreciate our world and respect it.

Each of the students was required to learn about a topic pertaining to Iceland before the trip. These topics were presented to the rest of the group over the 4 days. As we toured throughout the day, we learned about volcanoes, glaciers, wildlife, natural resources and even some of the Icelandic language. These teens came back from this trip with a larger view of the world and their place within it.

Our trip to Iceland was the experience of a lifetime and a memory that we will hold onto for years to come. Thank you to those in the

congregation that helped to support us. It was the culmination of a special year for the JAM students and we hope to build upon this program to be even more successful next year.
