Torah Restoration Silver Restoration Refurbishing the Ark Table size covers forweekly and High Holidays “Minyan of Comfort”books for use at the house ofmourning

I would, however, like toshare the efforts and uniquechallenges that it took to achievethis year’s goal. First, the TorahRestoration Project, which SamEvans coordinated. He facilitatedRabbi Gedaliah Druin’s multiplevisits to the Temple. A certifiedscribe and scholar, Rabbi Druinevaluated our six torahs and

restored four of them. We arecontinuing to raise funds this year(2010) to complete the project. A

special thanks also goes to thestudents in the Hebrew schoolwho selected the torah restorationas their mitzvah project.

The silver restoration wassupported by the Novick/Cherenson/Finkel Memorial fund.Enid Cherenson was supportive ofthe project. Dena Kaufman did a

complete evaluation of the silver,and Richard and Leslie Kramerfacilitated the beautiful silver repair.

Special thanksgo to Sandra,Michael andespecially SamSpector forsupporting therestoration of theArk. It waswonderful to havethe opportunity tobe with Sam, whenwe selected thematerial to adornthe ark. A specialthank you to JoanneHoward for thehandmade High

Holiday torah cover adorned withthe pearls that her mother, JaneBabcock, wore in 1939 when shehelped a local group of Unitariansbring Jewish refugees out ofCzechoslovakia.

Acknowledgments of themany people who made all thispossible begin on page 4.

You will soon receive a letterfrom me regarding special needs for2010. We are already achievingsome of our goals. Construction ofthe handicapped access to theTemple is about to begin. Throughthe gracious support of theLustbader/Babcock Holocaust

Rabbi David’s Message: I’m Not Ready

Next bulletin is March-April. Deadline is February 1. Email articlesand photos to sherry@alpert-publicrelations.com.

It has begun. The planning forDalia’s Bat Mitzvah celebrationhas begun. For eleven years I’vetold other people how to do it.But now I’m the one seeing mydaughteron thebimahpracti-cing hert’filot(pray-ers),callingtheaccom-moda-tors, searching for the perfecttallit, booking the DJ, andchoosing invitations. Thank God,I’m not alone in my planning, andthe truth is: much more of this willfall on Heather simply because sheis better at it.

I remember eleven and a halfyears ago feeling the same way –emotionally unprepared. Dalia wasborn two months early and whileher room was just about ready,her parents were not. Her arrival,much like her upcoming BatMitzvah, was and is too early!I’m not ready for my little girl,who climbed up and down thestairs of the bimah with Kyra andKephi as a baby, to now stand onthat bimah as a Bat Mitzvah.How did we get here?

This month we begin readingthe book of Sh’mot (Exodus.)One could ask, and many haveasked, about this new chapter inJewish history, “How did we gethere?” We know, of course, thatJoseph was thrown into a pit byhis brothers, taken to Egypt bypassing Ishmaelites, thrown into

jail there only to become secondin command, thanks to his fancydream interpreting – but, really,was it all by chance? How did wereally get here?

Joseph asks and answers thatquestion in parshat Vayigashwhen the brothers are reunited.Joseph says to his siblings, “Don’tbe distressed or reproachyourselves because you sold mehere; it was to save life that Godsent me ahead of you” (Genesis45:5.) Do you see what Josephjust did? Subtly and withoutmissing a beat, Joseph explainedthat even though you threw me ina pit, sold me to Ismaelites andlied to our father; and even thoughI was sold to Egypt, thrown in jailand forgotten about – that’s notwhy I’m here. I’m here in thisplace and in this time because thisis where God wants me to be.“God sent me ahead of you,”Joseph explains – not you.

How did I get here? How didDalia get here? How did my familyreach this point in our lives?Because God brought us here.Every joy and challenge along theway was leading to this newchapter in our family’s life – thisnew Jewish journey. We can chalkit up to chance or coincidence but,like Joseph, I think there’ssomething more to it. I believe,like Joseph, that God has apurpose in every journey.

I’m used to teaching parentsand families that in these next fewmonths of preparation it is

important to search for that Divinepurpose. I’m not use to searchingfor it myself. I guess it’s my turn.I’m not ready!

President’s Message

A friend of mine signs hisemails with the following quote:“Peace”.

It does not mean to be in aplace where there is no noise,trouble or hard work.

It means to be in the midst ofthose things and still be calm inyour heart.

How wonderful would it be ifwe could only achieve this. Wehave many goals for oursynagogue, and sometimes it feelsas though we are so busy talkingabout doing things that we neveractually get things done. But morethan halfway through myPresidency, I can see so much thatwe’ve accomplished. We’rebuilding a new handicapped ramp,and we are starting a totalrenovation of our library.

We’re about to embark on anew project designed to refocusand reenergize our Board ofDirectors, and we are constantlyreviewing how we can make thetemple more accessible toeveryone who wants to use it.And yet my heart is not calm. I’malways thinking that we can domore, thinking that our potential isnot even close to being realized. Iknow that I have asked for yourinput before, and that request hasmet with mixed results. But if youdon’t let us know what you arelooking for, how can we improve?

So here is what I have on myTBA wish list:1. To hear from ourmembers as to what you arelooking for to improve your TBAexperience spiritually as well associally/educationally.2. What kind ofprogramming would you be

interested in participating in?3. What physical plantimprovements would you like tosee done in the next two-fiveyears?

In addition to answering thesequestions, I’m personally asking

all ofyou tofind itinyourbusysched-ules todonatenotmoney,but

time to TBA. We have manydedicated volunteers who helpmake everything run so well, butthey can’t do it all. We need somefresh, younger blood to help uscontinue the good work that TBAdoes all year long. We especiallyneed some volunteers withaccounting or financialbackgrounds to help us in ourday-to-day running of the temple.

For all of these requests,please contact me atmarci@bernotas1.com or call meat (617) 549-5522. I’ll alwaysmake time during the day tospeak to you.

Usually, I try to make myPresident’s message aninspirational one. But this time,I’m asking for your help. I’m surethat I’m not the only one who hasit in her heart to give back to oursynagogue, a place that has givenso much peace to me and hasshown me a way to be calm in myheart at times when everything isso noisy, troubled and hard

around me. Let it be the same forall of you.

The TBA Book Group willdiscuss Maggie Anton’s Rashi’sDaughter Book One: Johevedon Monday, January 18, at TBA.

On Monday, February 22, wewill discuss The Brigade byHoward Blum at the home of JanisMonat. All are invited.

The Religious School studentshave been actively engaged in avariety of educational programsduring the first half of the schoolyear. It was exciting to see somany parents take advantage ofparent-teacher conferences inNovember to learn about theprogress that their children aremaking as they delve into ourJewish heritage and traditions.While parents were busy speakingwith the teachers, the childrenwere participating in a MitzvahProject by preparing a meal thatwas taken to the residents ofMainSpring House, a temporaryhomeless shelter.

In our ongoing effort toprovide our students with oppor-tunities to enrich their classroomlearning, Kitah Dalet went inNovember on its annual “JewishBoston Trip”, led by StevenGreenberg, featuring a tour of theVilna Shul, followed by an explo-ration of Harvard Street and allthe Jewish shops.

In December, we celebratedShabbat with the Gan (kindergar-ten). It was so nice to see familiessitting together around the tabletogether to welcome in the Sab-bath. Kitot Gimmel, Daled, andHay had a Shabbaton weekend,which included an ice cream oneg,activities with Rob Brockman, ahands-on Torah exploration, andbeautiful Havdalah service. Alsoin December, parents and childrenjoined together to create personal-ized mezuzahs. The discussionsthat followed the project werethought provoking, and ledeveryone to reflect on the meaningof having mezuzahs in our homes.

There are many more activities
