FROM THE DESK OF RABBI WENDY D. PEIN
DIRECTOR OF CONGREGATIONAL LEARNING
SSTTE Religious School Update
This month, we begin the study of the Book of Genesis. In the story of creation, the first
thing God does is establish order out of chaos, and the first thing God creates is light.
(Genesis 1:3). Light symbolizes Judaism’s commitment to clarity, openness, and
knowledge. The opening weeks of SSTTE religious school often mirror the story of
creation as we seek to establish order (instead of chaos!) with registration, schedules and
class routines. Our goal is also to emanate the light of Jewish knowledge to all our
students.
This past September, we welcomed Cantor Dan Pincus into our school to help a group of
our 4th - 6th grade students learn how to blow the shofar. Our goal was to create a small
Shofar choir during the children’s services for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. One of our new teachers, Mrs.
Barbara Vehaba, also arranged for our students to have Israeli pen pals with a Hebrew school in Afula, Israel. Our
students will be corresponding with their students all year to learn about our Israeli peers’ lives in Israel. This
month, we will also be setting up a student tzedakah collective for our pre-K - 3rd grade students. Stay tuned for
more details!
Team Tikkun begins Wednesday, October 1
Calling all our 8th – 12th graders – get ready for Team Tikkun! Our first Team Tikkun session will be Wednesday,

FROM THE DESK OF OUR DIRECTOR OF YOUTH ENGAGEMENT
Meet the new Director of Youth Engagement
Hello, Scarsdale Synagogue! I’m so excited to be joining this community as the Director of
Youth Engagement. Though I just started a few weeks ago, my time here thus far has been
incredible and I’m thrilled to continue following my passion and working with Jewish youth.
When I’m not busy inspiring the youth, you can find me jammin’ on the guitar, ukulele, kazoo,
or piano, doing awesome impressions of roadrunner, or binge-watching Parks and Recreation.
Through my many summers at URJ Camp Harlam and my participation in the NFTY-EIE High
School in Israel program, I essentially grew up in the Reform youth movement. I started
working with youth groups right out of college and immediately fell in love with it. I’ve had the
privilege of working with Jewish communities all over the country, including New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Florida, California, and most recently Colorado. During my work in
Massachusetts, I managed to revive a previously inactive youth group that now has upwards of
30 members and is still going strong. Again, I’m so excited to be here and I can’t wait to share
my experience and expertise with the youth of Scarsdale Synagogue!
Here’s what you can look forward to this month:

FROM THE DESK OF OUR DIRECTOR OF EARLY CHILDHOOD
It’s the beginning of our 14th year and we’re
off to an amazing start! Our Mazel Tots are
simply adorable and adjusting to their new
routines. Our warm and wonderful teachers
have done so much to help the children settle
in. All the classrooms are just great and
have proven to be amazing places for the
children to explore!
This year we’ve added some new programs
for our youngest Mazel Tots. We now have
Fall as well as Spring Toddler Programs.
Also, beginning this January we’ll have a new
3-Day 2’s program for those just turning 2
years old. We haven’t forgotten about our
oldest Mazel Tots! We are designing a fullday 4/5’s class which will begin in September
2015. This new program promises to be an
exciting and enriching! It will feature more
hands-on exploration and more in-depth skills
development. Call us to learn more about
the program!
If you are interested in learning more about
Mazel Tots or Summer Stars, please call the
Nursery School office at 723-3001 to arrange
an appointment to see the school. We’d love
to show you around!
Jody Glassman, Director
Jocelyn Gross is the Assistant Director here at Mazel Tots. She spends her
mornings in the nursery school office, working alongside Jody Glassman. She
loves watching the children explore, play and grow each school year. She
spends most of her time giving tours to prospective families, planning events for
current families, and supporting the staff in any way she can. Jody and Jocelyn
work together to plan for the continued growth of the youngest members of our
synagogue. This will be Jocelyn’s 6th year working at Mazel Tots and is a former
Mazel Tots mom. Jocelyn and her family have been members of SSTTE since
2003.

COMMUNAL WORSHIP CORNER
Gratitude and Commitment and Compassion
Most of us have moments when we experience feelings of gratitude, commitment and compassion. And
during those times we sometimes show very physical displays, evidencing those feelings - tears, big
smiles, a ‘glow’, etc. These are usually cherished moments in our lives – they are meaningful and bring
meaning to our lives
These are also important Jewish values and are expressed explicitly or implicitly during services in our
liturgy. Celebrating Shabbat by attending services is a great opportunity to create those very
same cherished moments – of feeling gratitude or commitment or compassion. Each of our
spiritual moments during the service feels good… and the congregation can somehow sense the shared
emotion and expression. A Shabbat service is a communal setting for prayer, while at the same time our
individual prayer helps to create community and connections to each other.
Heschel writes:
“To attain a degree of spiritual security one cannot rely upon one’s own resources. One needs an
atmosphere, where the concern for the spirit is shared by a community… we need the company of
witnesses, of human beings who are engaged in worship, who for a moment sense the truth that life is
meaningless without attachment to God (and to each other).”
Here are some examples of parts of the service when we can reflect and think meaningfully … and
possibly ‘create’ these special feelings:
Gratitude - Modim Anachnu Lach. During the T’filah (or Amidah) we give thanks to God for everything
in our lives. What do you feel most grateful for in your life?
Commitment: V’Shamru. “La Asot et hashabbat l’dorotam b’rit olam” “keeping the Sabbath as a
covenant for all time”. What commitments have you made to a spouse, a parent, a child, a sibling, a
friend?... when sometimes it’s not easy… but you do it … or you show up … or you are there for them…
because you are committed... Hineini…and that commitment creates a transcendence connecting you in
a way that is difficult to express in words… but felt in your heart.
Compassion: Mi Shebeirach. Prayer for those who are not well. Where we pray together for their
healing and restoring their ‘wholeness’ (refuah shlemah). Whom do you know in need of healing? How
many people do you encounter every day where showing them your favor, your love, your compassion
(Chain, v’Chesed, v’Rachamim) would really be a good thing for you and them?
There are no rigid associations between any of your individual feelings and specific prayers. Any prayer
can trigger any of those ‘moments’ – it’s whatever speaks to each of us. The liturgy, however, has some
purposeful prayers when it may be easier to make meaningful associations. And that’s one reason that
Shabbat services can be so special… if you help yourself to the opportunity.
And because prayer is communal, invite a friend or family member to Shabbat services the next chance
you get, and see if you can experience Heschel’s shared communal spirit and “for a moment sense the
truth that life is meaningless without connection”.
Shabbat Shalom

TZEDAKAH AUTHOR DANNY SIEGEL
Scholar- in-Residence Weekend, Oct. 24 - 26
Danny Siegel is a renowned lecturer on social action and tzedakah. He has spoken in more than
500 Jewish communities, to synagogues, JCC’s, day schools and afternoon schools on tzedakah
and Jewish values. He is the author of 29 books on topics such as Mitzvah Heroes and practical
and personalized tzedakah. We are thrilled to welcome Danny Siegel as a scholar-in-residence
during the weekend of October 24 – 26. Please save the date(s) for the following programs
during the weekend:
Saturday, October 25 – Danny will speak during our Shabbat BaBoker morning service on the
subject of social action. His topic will be:
There’s No Such Thing As a Small Mitzvah:
More Than 36 (2 X Chai) Easy Ways To Make a BIG Difference With Just a Little Tzedakah
Money and/or a Minimum of Time, Effort, Stamina, Talents and Personal Strengths and
Preferences
An informal Shabbat lunch will follow the service
Saturday evening, October 25 – Our teens will have a Tikkun Olam Havdalah/fundraising
event with Danny Siegel. This night will be an amazing opportunity to learn about social action
from an expert, and it will also be a great opportunity for the teens to socialize, enjoy some live
music and comedy from professionals and teens alike, and raise money for a social action /
justice cause.
Sunday morning, October 26 – During religious school, we will have a religious school
assembly with parents during which Danny Siegel will speak to them and give them a tzedakah
raising “charge” to kick-off the religious school year. On Sunday morning, Danny Siegel will
also study with our 4th - 6th grade students on the subject of social action and tzedakah. He will
be present throughout the morning to interact with parents and discuss tzedakah and social
action.
Women of SSTTE / Steps for Tzedakah, October 26 Following Sunday School -Weather permitting, Danny Siegel will join a group of us on a social action walk to raise
tzedakah for My Sister’s Place and The Women of the Wall.
We hope you will join us for these instructive and motivating events!

SOCIAL ACTION/TIKKUN OLAM
‘The flame of a single candle is not diminished
by lighting even a thousand other candles.’
Every little bit counts….Really!
I love the High Holy Day season and its call to reflect on the year that has been and to contemplate the
future. The sense of possibility and new beginnings is almost palpable. Wherever your own
introspection leads you this year, I encourage you to consider what role helping others plays in a rich
and meaningful life and what place it will have in your life.
So many of our Congregants already are shining examples of Tikkun Olam, G’milut Hasidim, Tzedakah,
Social Action - whatever label you apply - doing amazing things to help others. If you are one of these
people and are passionate about a cause or organization, please share your passion with us. We’d love
to develop more programs to support what our members are already doing to Repair the World!
Already, a wealth of opportunities to help Repair the World will be available whenever you walk through
the doors at Scarsdale Synagogue this year. Some of the Tikkun Olam programs taking place in
our sacred community this fall include:
High Holy Day Food Drive: On Yom Kippur, we ask that you bring back the bag distributed on Rosh
Hashanah filled with the items on the list attached to the bag. The food collected on the High Holy Days
helps our Interfaith Food Bank bring food to hungry families and seniors 20 minutes away from us in the
north Bronx twice a month all year round.
Yom Kippur Gift of Life Bone Marrow Donor Registration Drive: On October 3rd and 4th, healthy
individuals between the ages of 18 and 60 will have the opportunity to have their cheeks swabbed in
order to register as potential blood cell or bone marrow donors. Information about the process of being
screened and potentially donating is available at the Gift of Life website and will be available during the
drive. Folks who do not qualify to register are welcome to help register others.
Sukkot Dinner and Congregational Celebration: Tikkun Olam opportunities will include sorting and
packing food with the members of the Food Bank (a significant task that will get accomplished more
quickly, the more people participate!), and another opportunity to register with the Gift of Life Bone
Marrow Donor Registry.
Jewish Social Action month (Heshvan) begins at the end of October with Social Action Scholar in
Residence, Danny Siegal, a renowned lecturer on topics of Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam, and with a
weekend of related programming for Congregants of all ages.
Mitzvah Day: Also during Jewish Social Action month on November 9th, Mitzvah Day will include
Tikkun Olam opportunities for everyone including a Blood Drive, Cooking for the Homeless, Crafts and
several drives.
Don’t have time for any of the above? You can still . . . …(con’td on p.11)

SOCIAL ACTION/TIKKUN OLAM
‘The flame of a single candle is not diminished
by lighting even a thousand other candles.’
Donate food to the Food Bank to help alleviate hunger ANYTIME, or empty the change from your
pockets (or even a bill) into the Congregational Tzedakah Box (We will be rotating the organizations we
are collecting for and posting information about them near the box. Let us know if you have any
suggestions!)
All the above and much more will be happening at Scarsdale Synagogue this year.
No matter how little time you can spare, you can make a meaningful contribution.
And just imagine what we can all accomplish working together!
For more information about any of these projects or to suggest another program, contact Karen Chapro
at [email protected] or Elli Wharton at [email protected] or go to the Scarsdale Synagogue
website for more details.
MITZVAH DAY
Save the Date for Mitzvah Day 2014
Sunday, November 9th, 11am - 1 pm
Mitzvah Day 2014 will happen on Sunday November 9 this year. As usual, this will be a fun filled day
of doing good for the greater community including Cooking for the Homeless, Children's Crafts and the
Blood Drive.
When you are out and about this fall, or cleaning out your closets, please start collecting some of the
items that we will be collecting on Mitzvah Day including:

provided words of congratulations for births,
marriages and bar/bat mitzvahs; words of
sympathy when those among us have lost
loved ones, and words of support when others
are not doing so well.

WOMEN OF SSTTE
It’s hard to imagine as I write this, that when
you read it, Rosh Hashanah will be over and
we will be getting ready for Yom Kippur and
Sukkot. All of us at the Women of SSTTE wish
you a very happy and healthy new year. May
it be a sweet year for everyone.
As you read last month, we are moving
forward in our goals to bring all of the
Women’s activities in our congregation under
one umbrella and to try to have programs and
activities at different times of day and different
days to reach out to all of the women in our
congregation.
If you have any ideas or
suggestions we encourage you to email us at
[email protected]. We would love to hear
from you.
The
coming
months
promise
several
opportunities for us to get together and get to
know each other. Please plan to attend as
many as you choose. October, in particular, is
looking to be a busy month.
Our next Board Meeting is Wednesday,
October 8 at 4 p.m. All Women of SSTTE
members are invited to attend. We will discuss
and make plans for upcoming events.
Following the meeting we will attend the
Sukkot Celebrations.
Women of SSTTE are participating in our
congregation’s Gift of Life (Bone Marrow
Swabbing) program on Yom Kippur.
We
encourage you to be swabbed as a possible
donor or to volunteer to help. At least 75

doing this at the same time. Let’s make it as
successful as we can. More information is
available in this Shalom. If you would like to
volunteer to help contact Beth Quinn at

If you’re planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in the
near or distant future, we’d like you to know
that the Judaica Shop at the synagogue has a
wide selection of Tallesim, Yarmukes and
Tallis Bags for that special boy or girl. And –
if you have seen something that we don’t

order it for you.
All of us were thankful to welcome back
safely Cantor Becker and the group of
congregants who accompanied her to Israel

BERLIN AND KRAKOW WITH RABBI BROWN
In May 2015, Rabbi Brown will be leading a fascinating trip to Krakow and Berlin. We will visit
sites telling the story of a once vibrant Jewish community, a community all but destroyed during
the Holocaust, and see firsthand its remarkable and surprising rebirth in recent years. Our trip
will begin in Krakow where highlights will include the Jewish Quarter, the Oskar Schindler factory
museum, and an emotional trip to Auschwitz, the largest of the concentration camps and the
most notorious symbol of Nazi barbarism.
We will then move on to Berlin where we will explore the city’s past and present visiting sites
such as the Reichstag, the Brandenburg gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the Holocaust Memorial, and
the Villa in Wannsee, site of the infamous “Final Solution” conference. In addition, we will spend
a day in Potsdam, the former residence of Prussian Kings and German Kaisers; and we will
welcome Shabbat at a service at the Pestalozzi Strasse Synagogue, one of the strongholds of
Liberal Judaism in Berlin.
