WHAT IF?

That’s always a good start. Trying to find the that we have said or done we could ask, what

how to answer that.”
For the next year, what if we resolved
Great question indeed. We got started to make the necessary changes in our lives, to

more Jews had been allowed to immigrate to
Palestine before 1948?
And then, regarding the events of this
summer: What if the Palestinians would
have made a strategic decision to renounce
violence instead of launching wave after
wave of terror against Israelis? What if the
leaders of Hamas had decided to build
schools and hospitals instead of tunnels for
terror? What if they had decided to protect
their children instead of sacrificing them as
human shields? What if indeed?
Some would say that asking what if is
a useless exercise, but considering that it
inspired some fascinating discussions, I
would respectfully disagree. What if
launches us into some fascinating thought
experiments and can sometimes even inspire
good literature. See Philip Roth. At the very
least what if can give us some kind of insight
into the history of major events and lead us
to some fascinating conclusions.
Teshuva is a process of applying what
if to our own lives as well. Given that every
event in our lives affects every subsequent
event; given that everything that has
happened to us in the past affects everything
that will happen to us in the future; given

Now I wonder: What if the
Carthaginians had won the Punic War? Would
the Temple have been destroyed? Would the
Jews have been dispersed throughout the world?
Would the rabbis have created the Talmud?
Would we have created synagogues and houses
of study? Would my grandparents have crossed
the ocean? Would we be here now asking this
question?
May we all be inscribed in the Book of
Life for a sweet, healthy, beautiful and joyous
new year.

The focus of each Shabbat is the
weekly Torah portion. On the High
Holidays the Torah reading takes a back seat
to the lyrical and charged liturgy of the
Mahzor. Join us as we reveal the spiritual
truths hidden in its dense language. On 9/7
we will closely read the Musaf of Rosh
Hashanah to reveal its inner soul as a
Rabbinic Midrash on the Shofar blowing.
On 9/14 we will examine the Musaf of Yom
Kippur and its use of the Temple service of
Yom Kippur as a motif, to move us from
sacrifice to an authentic service of the heart.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Registration is open for
Linda Tondow, President
Hebrew High
2014-2015
I am writing my President’s message at
an interesting time. Tisha B’Av is behind us
and the fall yom tovim, though “late this year,”
will be here “before we know it.” This year, the
sorrow of Tisha B’Av and the current crisis in
Israel reminds us all too clearly of the fragility
of Jerusalem and our beloved state of Israel. At
the same time, soon we will be in our beautiful
synagogue as one community, the t’fillot and
shofar reminding us of the covenant between
God and the people of Israel and their message
of hope and continuity.
We have reason to hope. Each Shabbat
morning, our sanctuary is proof of the
continuity of the Jewish people, Klal Yisrael.
As I sit on the bima, I look out at a sea of faces.
Many were already congregants when Al and I
first arrived, almost 30 years ago. Many others
came at some point during these past 30 years.
And fortunately, still others are young
“newcomers,” representing our future.
We have young singles and couples on
Shabbat morning joining those of us who came
to our synagogue many years ago, drawn by
our community’s warmth and soul. We are
blessed with multi-generational families, young
couples joining the Synagogue they were
brought up in, davening alongside their
parents and even grandparents. Whether
family “by blood” or family by being part of
HPCT-CAE, when the “adon olam singers”
race to the bima, the Temple family collectively
kvells as our little ones sing, clap hands and
maybe even dance.
We are blessed. In 2015, the Highland
Park Conservative Temple - Congregation
Anshe Emeth will achieve milestones in its
service to the Central Jersey Jewish
community: it will be the 85th anniversary of
Highland Park Conservative Temple, and
Congregation Anshe Emeth’s 95th anniversary,
a combined 180 years of remarkable
community service. We have a rich history to
build upon as we embrace our future. We each
have the opportunity to be guardians of that
future, doing what we can to be sure HPCTCAE remains vibrant for the next generation,
and the generation after that.
I look forward to an exciting year as
together we continue to grow and serve as
guardians of our future, dedicated to Torah,
meaningful prayer, and life-long Jewish
learning and strive to build and sustain a
vibrant social and spiritual congregation
committed to outreach, community
engagement, and Israel.
Best wishes for a most healthy, peaceful
and fulfilling New Year. L’shanah tovah
tikatevu v’taihatemu.

INSTALLATION
SHABBAT
Saturday, September 20th – 8:45 a.m.
Kiddush following services
Please join us for Shabbat Services as we
install our newly elected Board of Trustees.
After another year of conversing one would think there
is nothing left to talk about. Yet, we manage to find new topics
and ideas each week. Come join us to discuss how Torah is
involved in everyday life and how our experiences don’t differ
much from stories in the Torah. There are many fascinating things
I have learned from my cohort session and many things I have
been able to pass on to my cohorts as well (I hope).
Starting mid-August we will be meeting each Shabbat
morning to shmooz and we even find time to eat yummy
snacks. Everyone is welcome to join in the discussions or sit back
and take in the lessons we all learn from each other.
I look forward to seeing you all there.

News From the Men’s Club
Marty Golden and Larry Klioze, Co-Presidents
The Men’s Club has had a very busy
summer, running and participating in several
events.
We started the summer with a lively
Ultimate Frisbee game against USY on the
afternoon of May 31 in Donaldson Park.
While USY had youth on their side, the Men’s
Club did make a respectable showing. A good
time was had by all.
On Sunday, June 1 we held our Annual
Pre-Shavuot Wine and Cheesecake Tasting.
Over 40 people attended, tasting nine delicious
cheesecakes and sampling six different Kosher
wines. Many thanks to Asher Weinstein, plus
his helpers, for organizing both of these events.
Also, we would like to thank our wonderful
cheesecake bakers. Without them, we would
not have been able to enjoy the sweet treats.
Friday, June 6 - Sunday, June 8 brought
us to the Multi-Regional Biennial Retreat
Weekend at the Capital Retreat Center in
Waynesboro, PA. Al Davis, Craig Artel and
Larry Klioze joined other Men’s Club members
from the Northern New Jersey, Middle Atlantic
and New York Metro Regions. We had three
days of learning, worship (in an open-air
setting), Hearing Men’s Voices, camaraderie,
recreation and ruach. It was a very uplifting
experience for all attendees.
Wednesday, June 18 brought us to the
Annual Northern New Jersey Presidents’
Dinner, held this year at Congregation B’nai
Israel in Toms River. Several HPCT-CAE
Men’s Club members were in attendance as
Marty Golden and Larry Klioze were installed
as club co-presidents. In addition, new
regional officers were installed.
We are pleased to report that 41
enthusiastic donors came to the Blood Drive
on Sunday, June 29, and donated 33 units of
whole blood. We extend thanks to Jerry
Langer, Linda Schmidt, Hillary Glass, Doris
Siederer, and Phil Schmidt for running another
successful Blood Drive to benefit the entire
community. We also thank Beth Spurr and the
Temple staff, for their logistical help setting up
and cleaning up before and after the drive.
The Men’s Club is planning a full
calendar of events for the coming year. We
look forward to seeing you at many, maybe
even all, of the events starting with Steak and
Scotch in the Sukkah on Sunday, October 12.
We also encourage you to attend all possible
services and activities at the Temple including
daily Minyanim. Feel free to let us know of
any feedback or programming ideas by writing
to us at [email protected].
You can also use that email address to ask to be
subscribed to our mailing list, and you can

SISTERHOOD REPORT
Teri Manes, Sisterhood President
Welcome back to another great year of
Sisterhood programming and activity. Our
programming team of Susan Winter and Helene
Knee have planned a year that has something
for everyone and so many opportunities to
participate in a wide variety of activities.
I want to take this opportunity to remind
you to send in your membership forms. If you
have mislaid the form that was mailed to you,
please pick one up from the Welcome Table in
the foyer of the Temple, or ask the Membership
Vice-Presidents, Rachel Modiano and Joy
Kuchinsky, how you can join the Sisterhood.
For me, the Sisterhood means comraderie with
the women of the Temple and service for the
Temple. Together we weave a wonderful
tapestry of comraderie and joyful activity.
We are starting our year off with a
mitzvah project. We will hold our Annual
Clothing Collection between Thursday,
September 4 and Sunday, September 7. Every
year we collect wonderful clothing for our
charitable community partners: Hire Attire,
which provides people getting back into the
workplace with suitable clothing, and Goodwill
Industries, which sells clothing at a small price
to assist persons who are having trouble making
ends meet. Do a pre-holiday/autumn cleaning
and share the fruits of your more organized and
cleaner house with the Sisterhood and its
partners. The whole community will benefit
from your thoughtful generosity!
Join us on Monday, September 8 at our
Welcome Back Meeting, The topic will be
Mind, Body and Spirit. This is an interactive
stress management workshop designed to help
build resiliency and to help us keep our life in
balance. We will learn valuable skills to be able
to successfully navigate the many demands on
our time and our reactions. We will have
healthy snacks and a small gift for anyone who
has already joined sisterhood!
On September 10, come to an ice cream
social among our Sisterhood and others in our
region as the East Brunswick Jewish Center
Sisterhood hosts Carol Simon, the new National
Women’s League for Conservative Judaism
President. She will be sharing a vision of the
national scene for the Women’s League and our
role within it. This will be a wonderful
opportunity to get to know her, our own
regional President, Ilene Rothman, and many of
the women in our region.
We will resume our weekly Zumba classes
on Monday, September 15. You can’t help but
smile while you are getting fit and losing
calories, and enjoying being with your friends.
Contact Susan Winter or Helene Knee for
details.
Our next Book Discussion will take place
at a private home on Wednesday, September 17.
Ronald Balson’s first novel, Once We Were
Brothers, combines the best of historical fact,
spellbinding fiction and personal drama.
Although set in war-torn Europe and the legal
world of modern Chicago, it’s not your typical
courtroom drama with historical flashbacks; it’s
also a love story that crosses both time and
geographical boundaries Add well-developed
fictional characters, suspense and a great ending,
and you won’t be able to put this book down.
Call Lynette Seader for more information.
Mark your calendar for October 13 as we
reprise our very popular “Sushi, Sake and Snacks
in the Sukkah”. A delicious way to celebrate
Sisterhood and Succot at the same time. More
information will be coming your way in a flyer.
We will sponsor our Annual Simchat
Torah Children’s Luncheon on October 17.
Before we even start, I want to thank the
wonderful sponsors that have helped to support
this program in the past and hope you will
continue to help in the future. The kids love it!
The parents love it! Please be in touch with
Debbie Gerber if you want to be a sponsor
and/or to help volunteer to serve pizza, tuna and
ice cream!
Right around the corner, we have our
65th Annual Dinner and Fashion Show on
Election Day, November 4. We are honoring
Elly Ehrlich and Beverly Teich, two incredible
women who have done so much for the
HPCT-CAE Sisterhood
65th Annual Dinner and Fashion Show

This year’s honorees are
Elinore Ehrlich and Beverly Teich

Watch your mail for the invitation and details!
Sisterhood over the years. Please come to
support them. The Fashion Show team of
Mindy Golden, Marcia Klioze and Paula
Kondioti are planning a fabulous evening. This
is also your opportunity to win “big” with the
tricky tray gifts, the bigger raffle items and at the
same time get a great deal on merchandise from
one of our vendors. Besides having a great time
seeing fashions and getting a delicious meal
served by “our own waiters”, it is a big fundraiser
for the Sisterhood, and in addition to all the
raffles and vendors, we always have a wonderful
array of door prizes. Bring your friends and
family for a wonderful evening out.
Lastly, but VERY important, is the Torah
Fund Campaign. The aim of Torah Fund is to
provide every individual with the opportunity to
participate in the preservation, promotion, and
joy of Conservative/Masorti Judaism through
active giving to the Torah Fund Campaign of
Women’s League for Conservative Judaism. The
Torah Fund Campaign supports: The Jewish
Theological Seminary (New York, New York),
the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies (Los
Angeles, California) and the Schechter Institute
of Jewish Studies. Donations are accepted at
many levels, starting as a benefactor for $180.
Each year a beautiful pin is designed and given
to benefactors. The year’s pin is called
Mishpachah “Family” and focuses on the central
place that the family has in Judaism. From the
earliest first family of Chava and Adam to our
own families, this pin will also serve as a
reminder that our connection as a community
roots back to the fact that we are all – the entire
Jewish People – one big family.
I look forward to seeing all of you in the
coming months as we cook, dance, learn, share
and engage together in service to the Temple. As
always, feel free to call me at 732-586-7241 or
email me at [email protected] with any
questions, suggestions or ideas to make the
Sisterhood an even more wonderful place to
dedicate your time and effort.
As we share the Chagim and all the joy
that they bring us, do it with your sisters in the
Temple community!
Sisterhood Clothing Collection
Please donate your gently used clothing, which will be distributed to
local agencies, including Hire Attire and Goodwill Industries. Please
place career clothing on hangers if possible.
All other items should be in plastic bags.
If you give a voluntary monetary donation, it will be given to the
Sisterhood Feed the Hunger Fund.

ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR CANDLE LIGHTING
Candles are to be lit on Thursday evening, after 7:31 p.m. from an existing flame. The
Yom Tov blessing for the candles is recited.
CANDLE LIGHTING FOR ROSH HASHANAH
BLESSING OF THE CHILDREN
The Eve of Rosh Hashanah is Wednesday, September 24. Candles are to be lit before
6:33 p.m. After striking the match and lighting the wicks, it is customary to move one’s
hands in a circular motion three times, as a symbolic invitation of the angels, and then
cover one’s eyes while reciting the blessing by heart. The blessing for the candles is
followed by the Shehecheyanu blessing. The Hebrew text of both blessings is found in the
machzor. Following the blessings, many add their own private mediations for the New
Year. Here is a transliteration of the blessings:
Prior to the meal it is customary to bless the children:
Barukh ata Adonai
Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam
asher kidshanu be-mitzvotav
ve-tzivanu le-hadlik ner
shel Yom Tov.
Barukh ata Adonai
Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam
she-he-che-ya-nu
ve-ki-ye-ma-nu
ve-hi-gi-anu
la-zman ha-zeh
Blessed are You, Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
Who has given us life,
sustained us, and enabled us
to reach this day.
Meditation for the New Year:
Yehi ratzon milfanekha,
she-tehadesh aleinu
shanah tova u-metukah.
May it be Your will,
that You grant us
a beautiful, sweet year.
For boys:
Yesimha Elohim
ke-Efrayim ve-khe-M’nashe
May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.
For girls:
Yesimeh Elohim
ke-Sara Rivka Rachel ve-Leah
May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah.
For all Children:
Yevarekhekha Adonai ve-yishmerekha
Ya-eir Adonai panav elekha ve-yihunekah
Yisa Adonai panav elekha ve-yaseim lekha shalom.
May God bless you and watch over you.
May God shine His light upon you and be gracious to you.
May God lift up His face upon you and grant you peace.
KIDDUSH FOR ROSH HASHANAH
Kiddush is recited prior to the meal. A Hebrew text and English translation of the
Kiddush may be found in the Machzor. Here is a transliteration:
Hold the cup of wine and recite:
Savri maranan ve-rabanan:
Barukh ata Adonai
Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam
borei pri ha-gaften.
Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam
asher bahar banu mikol am
ve-romemanu mi-kol lashon

Highland Park Conservative Temple Congregation Anshe Emeth
Blessed are You, Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
who has sanctified us with the commandments
and commanded us
to light the candles of the holiday.

HA-MOTZI
SHEHECHEYANU is also recited:
It is traditional on Rosh Hashanah and throughout the holidays, to eat round shaped
challah symbolizing the cycle of the year and the cycle of life. Following the ritual washing
of the hands, Netilat Yadayim, Ha-Motzi is recited over the challah.
Barukh ata Adonai
Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam
she-he-che-ya-nu
ve-ki-ye-ma-nu

Blessed are You, Lord our God
King of the Universe
Who brings forth bread from the earth.
It is the custom to dip the challah in honey before eating it.
APPLES AND HONEY
Among the various food customs of Rosh Hashanah, the most prevalent is dipping apples
in honey. Following the motzi, but prior to the formal meal, we distribute wedges of apple
and dip them into a bowl of honey. We recite the following:
Yehi ratzon milfanekha,
Adonai Eloheinu ve-elohei avoteinu
she-tehadesh aleinu
shanah tova u-metukah.
May it be Your will, O Lord our God,
and God of our ancestors
that you renew for us
a year that is good and sweet.

To Our Temple Family,
There truly are no words to express
my gratitude for the outpouring of love
that we felt when my Dad, Joel Harvey
Kabat, passed away. The literally
hundreds of visits, cards, letters,
donations, meals and more touched us
deeply. We all were so appreciative of
your love and your care, and the
generosity of your time. Your friendship
has helped us through this very difficult
time. We thank you from the bottom of
our hearts. B’ahavah
– Marla and Rich Zirin and Family
____________
We would like to thank everyone
at HPCT-CAE for your support and
well wishes as we moved to our new
home. Special thanks go to those of you
who sponsored the paving stone in Sam’s
honor.
HPCT-CAE was our home for
over 20 years, and even though we don’t
live in town anymore, the Temple will
always be a part of us. We will always be
a part of it. We look forward to sharing
milestones and experiences with our
Temple family for years to come.

hats and marched proudly in the Hat Parade. At
the Rainbow Party, the whole school participated
in a colorful bean bag toss, rainbow obstacle
course, parachute play, rainbow tattoos, and
rainbow ball pit. They also painted a giant
rainbow mural and ate a variety of fruits
representing all the colors of the rainbow.
We completed another awesome Summer
at Above and Beyond, where it seemed like every
day was a special event! Highlights included
Crazy Hat Day and a Rainbow Party. On Crazy
Hat Day, the children wore their finest, funniest
We celebrated the first phase of work
starting on our playground. The children enjoyed
a unique learning experience as they watched the
bulldozers doing their work, demolishing,
digging and cleaning. They joined in the “work”
wearing their own hard hats like the rest of the
crew, and recreated the experience in their
classrooms at the sand tables doing the

demolition with toy steamrollers, dump trucks
and bulldozers.
We look forward to the new school year
starting in the fall, where we will now have three
preschool classrooms on the second floor to
accommodate our growing center. We also plan
to begin a new cooking class in addition to the
other extra-curricular enrichment experiences for
our children.
Best wishes for a very sweet New Year from
everyone at Above & Beyond!
