From the Rabbi

Who can retell the things that befell us? Who can count them?

– Mi Yimalel, traditional Hanukkah song

O ne of my all-time favorite films is Director Barry Levenson’s

Avalon. The film’s opening scene takes place at a family Thanksgiving

dinner. Sam Krichinsky, the family’s patriarch, recounts to his enthralled grandchildren the story of the family’s arrival in America shortly after the turn of the 20th century. The narrative, spanning five decades and three generations, chronicles an all too familiar

tale of family disintegration, one occasioned by the cultural forces of American life. At first the family lives across the street from one another; the children move to different parts of suburbia, the grandchildren to far-flung corners of the country. I grew up taking family for granted: Passover Seders at my parents’ home, Thanksgiving dinners at my aunt’s and uncle’s; lazy summer days in their swimming pool, Hanukkah parties in a rented room at the old Arbeiter Ring, the Workmen’s

Circle building in lower Manhattan, annual family weekends at kosher resorts in the Catskills. By growing up in Jacksonville far away from other family members, my children will undoubtedly have a very different set of memories than I did.

Yet it is precisely this paucity of family life that sharpens their curiosity to know more about the family tree, the branch to which they belong, the leaf on the twig that represents their individual selves while connecting them to a greater whole. Nor is this desire confined to children alone. Genealogy websites and family-tree research are booming. From “ancestry.com” to “familysearch.org,” to the services of professional genealogists and the Smithsonian’s guide to the recording and preservation of oral history among relatives, there are more resources than ever before to help one recover the lost stories of family life. The proliferation of virtual reality hasn’t dulled our desire to know from where we have come; on the contrary, among all the fictitious narratives of the web and High Definition plasma television, somewhere

deep inside each and every one of us there is an urge to reclaim our past and know our roots.

It is for this very reason that the genealogy lists found time and again in the book of Genesis are of such profound importance. Not because we need to know by heart the Edomite kings that reigned in successive generations, or the name of Esau’s first grandson by his second wife’s eldest child, but rather simply because the Torah wants to say these are your cousins, and though they may be the descendants of Ishmael or Esau, the family’s black sheep, they are still part of our story. To consign them to oblivion and leave no trace of their lives in our memories would be to extinguish a part of ourselves. These “begats” and “begottens,” are tales of who we are, who we might have been, or even who we are thankful that we didn’t become. Our genealogies represent the sum of our spiritual and biological DNAs, a veritable treasure trove of tales of foolishness, wisdom, heroism, serendipity, the random road taken, the path more traveled . . . or less traveled, as the case may be.

How far back can you go – two, three, perhaps four generations? Do you know the name of your great-great-grandparents? At what point is your genealogy shrouded in mist? At what point will the fog of time swallow the fact of our existence for our descendants?

Hanukkah is a time of story-telling. Indeed, while the candles are burning each night of the festival offers an ideal time to share the gift of family stories. Furthermore, since Hanukkah does not have any of the restrictions of Shabbat or Yom Tov, we might well use this as an opportunity to record the stories of parents and grandparents. What was Jewish life for them growing up? What do they remember about their parents and grandparents?

We can shape the future by preserving the past; we can make sure that our children and their children know from where they came, the mistakes their elders made, the challenges they were able to overcome, their successes and failures. Our own life stories are worth telling because we have been created in God’s Image, and somehow our journey contains a spark of the Divine. It is the sanctity of such stories that make them worthy of telling, even as it is the virtue of telling them that make such stories sacred.

Long after our children and grandchildren break, lose or outgrow the plastic, metal and electronic gifts

Our Modern Miracles “Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? YES!”

T hose words have become part of one of the most famous moments

in sports history. As the United States Hockey Team defeated the team from the Soviet Union at the 1980 Winter Olympics, play-by-play announcer Al Michaels perfectly captured the way much of the US was feeling. Their

team, made up of largely unknown amateur hockey players, had defeated the team that had proven itself to be the best in the world on multiple occasions. The only word appropriate to describe that event was “miracle.”

Ever since I learned of this event and saw the 2004 movie based on it, Miracle, I have always

associated it with Hanukkah. The holiday of Hanukkah is known as the Festival of Lights, but also as a holiday on which we recognize the miracles in our lives, (and yes, on the hockey rink, too). The four letters on the dreidel spell out “Nes Gadol Hayah Sham,” a great miracle happened there. When we light the Hanukkiah each night we

recite a blessing over the candles, but also one to celebrate the miracles of Hanukkah and today. Sh’asah nisim l’avoteinu bayamim hahem, bazman hazeh – Thank you God who has made miracles for our ancestors in the days of old, and continues to make miracles for us today.

There’s a commentary that explains that the miracles we talk about are not miracles that are beyond the world of nature, but rather are events that can occur, albeit rarely, and are made miraculous by occurring at the needed time. Thus the miracle of the Sea of Reeds splitting is that it happened exactly when the Israelites needed it to. This is a much more accessible understanding of what a miracle is. It gives us something reasonable to hope for and to work towards, as opposed to something far-fetched that we are not confident can actually be achieved.

The miracles of Hanukkah we know about, but what are the miracles that we recognize in our own times? I could write about any number of things here; that we are able to wake up each morning; that we can live freely as Jews in the United States; that we have a thriving modern State of Israel; that families can stay together and stay in touch no matter how much distance separates them; all of these things I consider to be modern day miracles.

But even beyond these, our own community is full of miracles. A thriving day school and religious school where children learn the foundations of Judaism, create lasting Jewish friendships, and learn the skills necessary to prepare them for a Jewish life. Newly revamped Setzer Youth Education Hebrew High and informal education programs where students learn that Judaism is something that can extend into all areas of their lives and through all years of their education. A robust Shabbat youth program that creates opportunities for children and adults of all ages to have an engaging, meaningful, and fun experience at shul on Shabbat morning. Surely, these too are modern day miracles.

What makes them miracles? Not that they are programs that are impossible to achieve, that can only happen at isolated instances, but precisely because they are achievable – that they all are programs we are working on and achieving at this very moment. As the commentary says, what makes something a miracle is not what happens, but when it happens, and these miracles are happening now.

Come Join Us…

Be Part Of A Havurah

The word havurah comes from

the Hebrew word “haver”,

meaning friend. A havurah is a

small circle of friends who share your values

and interests. They will become your extended

family within the greater synagogue

community. Your “haverim” (friends) will be

there to rejoice with you in times of happiness

and support you in times of difficulty.

If you choose to join a havurah, it will become a

wonderful way to experience the warmth and

support of a close-knit community. It’s an

opportunity to develop friendships with individuals

and/or families who share similar interests by

creating an extended family to enjoy Jewish life

together by celebrating holidays, planning family

events, and participating in social action projects.

Your havurah will enrich every aspect of your

Jewish life.

Our Animal Instinct

Cantor’s Cantillations

H umans and other animal species have maintained a close

relationship since the story of creation, when all of the land animals were created on the same day. The Noah story took this relationship to the next level, as God decides to save Noah, his family, and all animal species. This relationship continues throughout biblical times, highlighted by Rebecca’s care for a

stranger’s camels by the well. The connection between humans and other animals is so strong that the Talmud coins the term tzaar baalei hayim, a prohibition against the suffering of animals.

This preamble is important because it affirms why the Jacksonville Jewish Center has

been home to a number of animal programs the past few weeks. In honor of Parashat Noah, we held a moving Bark Mitzvah ceremony for over 40 dogs from our community. Owners recited blessings of thanksgiving while their four-legged friends received their Jewish names and kosher treats

courtesy of our Jacksonville Jewish Center USY. Our Martin J. Gottlieb Day School

Middle Schoolers visited our zoo two days later to learn about the important rescue work of our very own Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens.

Elementary School students from our Bernard & Alice Selevan Religious School enjoyed a biblical scavenger hunt, weaving their way through the zoo using a special passport designed to teach everyone about the animals mentioned in the bible. Participants learned about common Hebrew names derived from animals as well as animals symbols used throughout Jewish history. One modern twist included the use of “arkies,” where students took pictures with biblical animals found throughout the zoo.

Skipping ahead to early November, our Dubow Preschool enjoyed a visit from a local petting zoo, learning about each of the animals and the importance of taking good care of our fellow creatures.

It’s truly been a season of the animals. We look forward to continuing to find new ways to help bring Torah and Judaism to the masses in an exciting and educational way.

Social Action

T his is the third year that the social action committees of Congregation Ahavath Chesed

and the Jacksonville Jewish Center are coordinating efforts for all of us to do Mitzvot. Volunteer opportunities have been increased this year and there is something for everyone to do.

Once again we will be cooking, packaging and delivering between 450 and 480 meals this year for the Aging True “Meals on Wheels” program. There will be between 45 and 48 routes that will need drivers. Pick up for “Meals on Wheels” will be at 9:00 AM on the 25th. Meals will be prepared and packaged on December 24 at The Temple beginning at 9:00 AM. We will need about 20 people to do the cooking and packaging of the meals. If you are interested in volunteering for preparation, please contact Rhoda Goldstein at rhodagoldstein@hotmail.com or by calling 268-8124.

We will also be asking members of our community to bake or buy cookies that will be packaged and delivered to local first responders and police sub-stations. All cookies will be collected and

packaged on December 24th, beginning at 9:00 AM. Cookies need to be dropped off at The Temple between December 22nd and noon on December 24th. Another 10 drivers will be needed to deliver these. Cookie packages will be picked up for delivery at 11:00 AM on December 25th. To volunteer to help with preparation or for more information, please contact Rhoda London at rholon@aol.com or by calling 268-9787.

If you are interested in making any of the above deliveries, please respond to Wiatt Bowers at wiatt.bowers@atkinsglobal.com or by calling at 813-785-5012.

Also, we have added many other opportunities for YOU to help this year. We will be cooking dinner at Ronald McDonald House in the afternoon and will need 6 to 8 people to prepare these meals. Also, save your tabs from drink cans and other pull top cans to be donated to Ronald McDonald House.

This year we will be collecting gently worn or new coats, hats, gloves, scarves and blankets to be

December 25th Mitzvah Opportunities

Galinsky Academy

I n addition to the usual courses of

algebra, creative writing, and geography, Martin J. Gottlieb Day School’s middle schoolers leave campus weekly to engage in an equally

important piece of their curriculum: the Mitzvah Program. Led by Edith Horovitz, Vice Principal of Middle School, the Day School students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades participate in a variety of activities around town designed to bring their Jewish Studies lessons to life.

The Mitzvah Program has a sound basis in secular educational theory as well. In general, middle schoolers benefit from project-based learning, meaning that when they experience what they are learning in class it becomes real for them. The program also ties into their language arts lessons because students write about their experiences back at school.

“The mission of our Mitzvah Program is to take our learning to another level. By taking our students out into the world to do worthy deeds, we turn each one into a mensch – a person of integrity and honor,” says Horovitz.

Because the Talmud teaches that we should perform acts of tzedakah for Jews and non-Jews alike, community service projects include delivering dozens of turkeys and bags of groceries to needy families at Beauclerc Elementary, providing Christmas gifts to disadvantaged children through the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation and Jewish Family and Community Services, and working with disabled students at Mt. Herman Exceptional Education Center.

Middle Schoolers in Mensch Training

Madrichim

O ur Religious School has been having such an exciting year so far! Through a brand new

rotation of music, art, cooking, technology and literature, students are learning about our rich culture in a most enjoyable and effective style. Students, parents and staff all agree that our newly-reimagined school is better than ever, as

indicated by much greater family involvement, increased

enrollment, and lots of happy faces in our school! One of our biggest successes this year has been

with the Madrichim program. A madrich (boy assistant) or madricha (girl assistant) is a teenager who attends our Religious School as the newest members of the staff. These young adults are wonderful role models for our students, and their efforts make a real difference in the Religious School experience for everyone. Some are assigned to a specific grade level, keeping attendance records and making sure that each class moves smoothly to their next arts rotation. A few madrichim work as Hebrew tutors, while others are classroom or office assistants. Regardless of their assignment, all of these teenagers

are enthusiastic and responsible team players that are a great addition to our Religious School families.

Although they are volunteers, our madrichim are already receiving their own great benefits from this program, too! Students may earn community service credit for their time. The experience in the classroom under the guidance of a seasoned professional is an invaluable introduction to any teen

who is considering a future as a teacher or educator. Even if they aren’t considering a position in education, these young adults are learning the responsibilities of holding down a job while in a safe and caring environment. It also looks great on a resume, whether looking for a camp or afterschool position, or filling out college applications. The professional staff becomes a great personal reference contact for a first-time job. It is a win-win situation for both the school and the young adult!

We are so proud of the wonderful job that our Jacksonville Jewish Center teens are doing in our congregational school. Todah Rabbah to all of them! Visitors from Gainesville: Congregation B’nai Israel

T he Bernard and Alice Selevan Religious School is delighted to host

an entire Congregational School from Gainesville on Sunday, December 7. We will be celebrating Hanukkah together and

sharing our new “Judaism Through the Arts” program with these students in grades K-7.

The students will arrive by bus, along with their teachers, rabbi, and several of their teens, in time for our regular Sunday School classes. At noon, many of our students and their families will stay for a lunch and field day activities. Members of our own Kadima and USY will also be invited to join us; many of our students have already connected with youth group members from Gainesville through regional conventions. Steven Resnick, our Jacksonville Jewish Center youth director, will work with Lois Tompkins (Principal of the JJC Religious School) and Suzanne Chester (Principal of the B’nai Israel Religious School) to plan an enjoyable and educational event.

We look forward to making new friends and building a long-lasting relationship with our neighbors!

Going from Awesome to Amazing Through Teamwork

“T his is a new year. A new beginning. And things

will change.” –Taylor Swift . Yes, I did just quote T-Swizzle. For the first half of this year, I’ve done a lot of observing. I’ve seen the amazing mark my predecessor has left on this

community. I’ve noticed the interesting dynamic between the youth in our programs. I’ve also noted the continued warmth and naches that this amazing kehillah still has.

However, “the times,” as Bob Dylan says, “are changing.’ Starting in January, Setzer Youth Education is going to be completely redesigned and running like a well oiled machine. Every program is going to be reviewed and given a new, brighter looking future and I, for one, cannot wait! I already have plans for Chalutzim, Kadima and USY moving forward and I’m currently working with Rabbi Tilman to review and renew our Hebrew High program. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have gotten off to a great start,

but I can’t wait to get my hands dirty to help them to hit the next plateau.

I’m going to do my part to provide you and your children with amazing programming and fantastic leadership opportunities…, but I’m going to need your help. Pushing your kids to attend programs that they may not be 100% into may help them to broaden their horizons and have a great time at a program they never would have thought of attending otherwise. Making sure to RSVP for programs shows them that follow through needs to happen in order to be successful in life. Communicating questions and concerns shows that you are invested in their bright futures. Finally, volunteering shows them that you want to be a part of their experience.

One of the reasons I came back to JJC is because I remember what a warm and wonderful community this is. Last time I was here, as an advisor from 2005-2008, I remember parents welcoming me into their homes, asking for meetings just to see how college was going, and asking all about our programming.

Oren Margol Break the Fast Thank You...

“Thank you to all who made donations to establish the Oren Margol Break the Fast Fund. The Congregation’s continued contributions are appreciated, and we look forward to gathering with you as family and community, as we come together each year for the Break Fast for many years to come.”

— The Margol Family

Recognizing the importance of the congregational Break the Fast, members of the Margol family and other generous donors have come together to create this newly formed endowed fund to honor Oren and enhance our beautiful congregational Break the Fast tradition.

Oren Daryl Margol was born February 6, 1965, the son of Bennie & Barbara Margol; father of Eden and Joel; brother of Drew (Michelle) and Seth; and uncle of Lauren (Brandon), Gabrielle, Yitzchak, Asher, Yonnie, Yacov, and Shuie. The youngest of 3 boys, Oren's bright smile and dynamic personality would light up any room. Oren, along with his first cousin & best friend, Lane Oren Strumlauf, graduated from Wolfson High School and the University of Florida, where they were members of Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity. Following graduation from college, Oren began his professional insurance career working as a partner at Vandroff Insurance Agency since 1989. Oren was a lifelong member of the Jacksonville Jewish Center, where he and his children, Eden and Joel became Bat & Bar Mitzvah. The honor of the Break the Fast in his memory has great meaning as it symbolizes his love of family, friends and Jewish Holidays.

Both The Temple and The Center will have areas to collect these items for several weeks prior to December 25. Please call each to get information regarding drop-off times.

For those who may prefer to support this Mitzvah project by making a monetary donation, contributions to The Temple’s “Sandy Miller Social Action Fund” will help to cover some of the expenses of this day. If you need more information, contact any of the above volunteers.

(...from page 12) It is something that I enjoyed and still enjoy

now, but I’d like to see it happen with more vigor as we renew our commitment to your child and their Jewish experience. Please feel free to tell other’s about our programming. Haven’t received an email? Contact me! Have an idea about passing out our Setzer Youth Education tri-folds at an outside program? Let me know! The only way this program is going to go from awesome to amazing is with teamwork! As always, if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please feel free to contact me!

L'shalom v'ahava,

Galinsky Academy (continued)

(...from page 3) we give them on Hanukkah, they will continue to have the imperishable stories of family history, but only if we have cared enough to share them. At the end of each generation, there is a fork in the road of time: only the stories that have been told and retold, recorded and passed will live into the future; all other tales, no matter how wonderful, will pass into the graveyard, the realm of the eternally forgotten. Do we not owe our children and grandchildren the heritage of stories that ultimately belongs to them?

Adult Education

Maggie Anton is coming January 21st!

M aggie Anton is the award-winning

author of historical fiction series Rashi’s Daughters and Rav Hisda’s Daughter. She is a Talmud scholar, with expertise in Jewish women’s history. Anton speaks to Jewish organizations all over the country about the research behind her novels. Maggie Anton was

born Margaret Antonofsky in Los Angeles, California, where she still resides. Raised in a secular, socialist household, she reached adulthood with little knowledge of her Jewish religion. All that changed when David Parkhurst, who was to become her husband, entered her life, and they both discovered Judaism as adults. That was the start of a lifetime of Jewish education, synagogue involvement, and ritual observance. This was in addition to raising their children and working full-time as a clinical chemist for Kaiser Permanente for over 30 years.

In 1992 Anton learned about a women’s Talmud class taught by Rachel Adler, now a professor at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles. To her surprise, she fell in love with Talmud, a passion that has continued unabated for twenty years. Intrigued that the great Talmudic scholar Rashi had no sons, only daughters, Anton researched the family and decided to write novels about them. Thus acclaimed trilogy, Rashi’s Daughters, was born, to be followed by National Jewish Book Award finalist, Rav Hisda’s Daughter: Apprentice. Still studying women and Talmud, Anton has lectured throughout North America and Israel about the history behind her novels.

The Jacksonville Jewish Center Adult Education Community, partnered with Hadassah, will be sponsoring a luncheon as well as an evening program on Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Look for more details coming out soon!

Save the Date for the Marilyn & Louis Safer Shabbaton on March 6 and 7

Judy Klitsner is a bible scholar and master teacher of the Hebrew Bible at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, where she has been teaching for more than two decades. A disciple of the great Torah teacher Nechama Leibowitz, Judy has had a profound impact on a generation of students, of whom many now serve as teachers and heads of Jewish studies programs in the US, the UK and Israel. In her teaching and in her writing, Judy weaves together traditional exegesis, modern scholarship and her own original interpretations that are informed by close readings of the biblical text. She lectures internationally at synagogues, campuses and adult education programs that span the denominational spectrum and she holds a visiting lectureship at the London School of Jewish Studies. Judy’s teaching style is lively, interactive and text-based, and she is particularly fond of uncovering the “vibrant conversation” that takes place between the Bible’s parallel stories. Judy Klitsner is the author of Subversive Sequels in the Bible: How Biblical Stories Mine and Undermine Each Other (Jewish Publication Society, paperback by Koren Publishers). The book received a 2009 National Jewish book award.

Hebrew Class

Do you know your alef-bet, but still get lost in our Jacksonville Jewish Center services? Our “Intermediate Service Skills” class is for you! Taught by Lois Tompkins, this class will guide you through the siddur (weekday as well as Shabbat). You’ll learn more advanced reading skills, fluency, and discuss our Jacksonville Jewish Center customs. Whether you want to eventually learn to lead a portion of the service, or just feel more engaged, join us on Thursday mornings at 8:30 AM (right after minyan) and Sunday mornings at 9:15 AM.

Beginner’s classes have already begun for learning the fundamentals. Yet, if you would like learn to read Hebrew, please watch for new Beginner’s class to begin in the spring. Information about Adult education opportunities can be found on our website at www.jjcadulteducation.wordpress.org or by contacting Lois Tompkins at LTompkins@jaxjewishcenter.org.

Author Maggie Anton, Marilyn & Louis Safer Shabbaton and More!

With Sincere Appreciation
