Jeffrey Adelman has served on our Board of Trustees for many years, holding leadership roles on numerous committees and for countless events. This month he completes his two-year term as Men’s Club President. Jeffrey is a mensch who demonstrates tremendous concern, committment and follow-through in his activities and efforts for our kehillah.
Fred Turnofsky is a dedicated and hard working member of our kehillah. He epitomizes the behind-the-scenes, devoted, caring congregant. Fred does and does and always in a gentle, kind way. Todah Rabah for your continued commitment to our NSJC community. Your efforts are appreciated.
Jerry Green, our Ritual Chair, capably carries out his responsibilities, helping to oversee that Shabbat and Yomim Tovim services run smoothly. He has also leads our morning minyan, Sunday through Friday. Jerry can be counted on to consistently open the synagogue doors for morning minyan in snow, rain and every kind of weather. We appreciate the dedication and care Jerry gives to his Board of Trustees portfolio.
When asked why she decided to participate in a formal Bat Mitzvah ceremony, Doris explained: “When beginning my Hebrew studies with Marty Rubenstein last winter, I told him that I had always wanted to become a Bat Mitzvah, but life events got in the way. He started me down this road and encouraged me to stay with it, even during my darkest hours when I wanted to give up. I have always wanted to honor God in this manner, and He has led the way. My faith in God and in Judaism has been a driving force all these years after my husband died and has now led me to this achievement.”
Doris WeismanSaturday, June 20, 2015
The congregation and the NSJC Board of Trustees extend a mazal tov to the following Bat Mitzvah and her family:

Rabbi’s DeskRabbi Aaron Benson
Firsts are important. As I write, we are counting the omer, preparing for the holiday of Shavuot, the holiday of the first fruits offering. Firstborn children in Judaism have special responsibilities and privileges. The first month of the year on the Jewish calendar is not when the year changes, in Tishri with Rosh HaShanah, but rather in Nisan, the month of Passover in which we became a people. In June I will mark a first of sorts along with all of you, the conclusion of the term of the first president with whom I served here at NSJC. While Joey Muntner was the president with whom I interviewed and who helped get me here, Phyllis Frank was the first president alongside of whom I worked in service to our congregation. It has been a very special first to have a president like her - for me and for my family, as well as for our congregation. I offer my profound thanks to her for
tlv1.fm Israel’s only English-language radio station, TLV1 broadcasts 24/7 with shows on music, from pop to world to indie, art and culture and politics. Original shows include popular podcasts, StreetWise Hebrew, which uses discussion of the language and slang as a window into the Israeli mind, and Tel Aviv Table, exploring the ins and outs of Israel’s expanding culinary world.
Jewish Websites of the Month According to Jewish law, Jews may not own, eat or benefit from chametz (leavened foods forbidden on Passover) during the holiday. In addition to removing it from one’s possession, the rabbis instituted the further practice of selling chametz as well. At NSJC, this means one signs a document giving our rabbi permission to “sell” our chametz to a non-Jewish person on our behalf. As pictured above, for many years our bookkeeper, Mary Ellen Shouler, has been willing to purchase our chametz (and sell it back promptly after the holiday!)

all her help and guidance. From the start of her term, Phyllis brought a personal touch to her presidency, truly bringing herself to the job. Whether it was when Isabel had a little car accident that first week we were here and Phyllis prepared a Shabbat meal fit for a king for us, or her willingness to make phone calls to whomever needed calling, greeting people in the lobby on Shabbat morning as they came to service or working to make relationships important, Phyllis has worked tirelessly to set a tone for our congregation. One of togetherness. One of family. Looking back, it doesn’t seem as if it’s been just two years. The feeling of integration with the congregation that my family and I have. The welcoming feeling that we get. The connections that we’ve made, I point to Phyllis Frank as a key figure in making all of them possible. So, speaking for myself and for the congregation, I offer her a big yasher koach on a job well done and good wishes for her post-presidency: may it be far more relaxing and stress-free, but still see her leadership and wisdom continue to strengthen and guide the North Shore Jewish Center.

Dear NSJC Congregants, Did someone say June 30, 2015? Yes, that date concludes my journey as your NSJC president. The tapestry of my presidency has been full of many exciting times, challenges, successes and concerns. So, with June 30th closing in, I want to reflect a bit on some of my experiences and also express my thank-yous for your gifts of support, cooperation and friendship. I chose “connections” as the theme for my presidency. I feel that the connections we make with one another are the glue that affords us the gift of working and playing together. The challenges were softened with the cooperation and togetherness of your helping hands and hearts. Thank you for giving me the opportunities to step out of my comfort zone and have experiences that were exciting and rewarding. I have learned so much and feel blessed to have met so many people in our synagogue community as well as in the broader Conservative movement. I plan to continue meeting, working and enjoying with my fellow congregants. We have so much to offer to one another. Being president also involved the love and tolerance of my family. My husband, Jim, has been God’s angel as his support was almost always available. I did try a few times to wake him to help me with a computer challenge or two but, honestly, the morning would have been a better time to ask for help. My adult kids were tolerant when our phone conversations were very brief or cut short because synagogue business was calling me. I tried to reward them for their understanding with a mention of them in an article or speech. My Canadian son-in-law
especially enjoys this. I have absorbed a lot of information about religion in the United States today and, of course, in Israel and worldwide. I am increasingly aware and concerned about anti-Semitism being demonstrated here and abroad. We need to stick together and work on solutions, remedies and tolerance. If we cannot make peace amongst ourselves how do we expect to get along with our diverse community worldwide? As I review the calendar of the past two years, I am so grateful to those who helped to bring us programs, religious services, events, and a cadre of support and efforts to sustain NSJC as the jewel of Suffolk County. We offer so many opportunities to our congregants and the community at large for which we can be very proud. Togetherness permeated us as we shlepped, cajoled, worked and stressed while we put together the garage sales, Thrift Shop afternoons, Shabbat kiddushim, Honoree Celebrations, meetings and more meetings, POPS programs, craft/vendor fairs, speakers, brit milah and baby namings, classes, celebrations of B’nai Mitzvah, Gatsby Night, Cablevision’s program, social action programs, installation of Rabbi Benson, and so much more. Todah Rabah to congregants who contributed additional funds for our spring-summer lawn maintenance after exceptionally high 2013-14 winter snow removal costs that ate up our budget. And thanks to those who
contributed at other times just because they understood we needed their help. We helped one another in the difficult and sad times. Our congregants have been available to attend shiva and yahrzeit minyanim even in the worst of weather conditions. We support one another. The love and hugs are given to one one another because we are community and family. Special thank-yous and words of appreciation to Joe Muntner, IPP, who greatly assisted with my transition to the presidency, to my Executive Board, my Board of Trustees, to Marcie Platkin, Executive Director extraordinaire, her staff and, of course, our clergy, Rabbi Aaron Benson and Cantor Daniel Kramer. Welcoming our new rabbi was a special opportunity. I have always tried my best and hope that you feel the rewards of my efforts. So with this, I say shalom and l’hitraot as President of NSJC and, again, thank you for the privilege and honor of serving as your president. I leave you in the capable hands of our incoming president, Andy Polan. Todah Rabah for all the enriching opportunities and experiences.

It is hard to believe that my term as president is drawing to a close. At this time, I have to ask myself, “Did I accomplish everything in this position that I had hoped to when I began two years ago?” The answer is a resounding yes! Our Sisterhood is a large group, with such diverse interests and talents, yet we come together to create a supportive environment for everyone. We offer educational and social programs, and social action projects that appeal to a wide audience and enhance NSJC and the greater community. I am most proud of our newer members who have taken on additional responsibilities, despite feeling nervous about doing so. Thank you to everyone who has supported NSJC Sisterhood over the past two years. I wish the best of luck to our incoming president, Carol Greenberg.

Reflecting on my Men’s Club presidency, I feel it went by fast. Prior to becoming Vice President, I served on our Board, supportive, but not very active. I realized that I had to step up to the plate. I discovered Men’s Club Federation and all they offer. My fellow MC members were always available to help out and, when things got tough, they came through. You’re a great group of guys and I thank you all. This year we lost a long-standing Board member and friend, Richard Randall, z’’l. We will always remember his kind words and smile. I am proud that we provide a variety of services to NSJC including arranging for shiva minyan leaders and kits, putting up the sukkah, providing High Holy Day ushers and delivering a Yom HaShoah candle to every NSJC family. The World Wide Wrap, visit to Central Islip Cemetery, Sefer Haftarah service and Men’s Club Shabbat programs enhance our spirituality. We also sponsor a defensive driving program and a spring softball league. Our programs support NSJC, our traditions and our youth. I congratulate and offer my support to our incoming president, Aaron Avni. Please contact us at [email protected].
On Sunday, April 19th, Representative Lee Zeldin, a Republican member of the United States Congress, in New York’s 1st District, gave us an update on United States relations in the Middle East, with an eye towards telling us about what he’s been doing as our congressman. Thank you to NSJC congregant Charlie Lefkowitz for facilitating the Congressman’s appearance.

NSJC Kevurot Shemot, Burial of Holy Materials • Sunday, April 26, 2015 The Talmud teaches us that we need to care for religious books and items carefully, even after they are no longer useable. Such items, called shemot (“names,” for the fact that things with God’s name in it must be so cared for) are kept in a genizah, a storage room, until such time as they can be buried. It is a special honor that we should have on our grounds a place for shemot, and now a place for two old Torah scrolls, no longer kosher, rendering it a very special and holy place. Yasher koach to Ethan Sokol who, in November 2000 at the age of 14, took on the responsibility for transforming a forgotten corner of NSJC into a fitting burial site for damaged religious articles as his Eagle Scout project.
