The Rebuild Committee, working with C. W. Brearley, A.I.A., Civil En-

gineer firm of Horn, Tyson, and Stuart Snyder, Esq. filed on or about March

23rd the JCC application for Long Beach Township, Land Use Board (LUB)

approval. The JCC application was on the LUB's agenda for Wednesday,

April 14th. The JCC was represented by Stuart Snyder, Esq., architect C.W.

Brearley, A.I.A., and civil engineer Jim Brauzowskie of Horn,Tyson.

Our application included two minor variances: (1) A reduced front

yard spacing off of 24th street, and (2) Forty-nine [49] instead of 60 park-

ing spaces on the property. The Land Use Board UNANIMOUSLY approved

the application and commented that the JCC Rebuild Project shall enhance

the character and functionality of the neighborhood and bring the building

itself up to Township code.

The LUB approval was made subject to two conditions: 1. that ther

JCC file an outside lighting plan jand obtain the Township Engineer‘s ap-

proval, and 2. the East and North boundaries fences be six feet and solid to

block automobile headlights at night so as not to disturb adjacent home own-

ers.

This LUB approval is important because now, we can then start the

next phase of the project, IE the construction drawings development phase.

For this, the Rebuild Committee again works with the architect and his

structural and mechanical engineering consultants to prepare full construc-

tion drawings, which drawings shall be used as part of our request for bids

from contractors/builders. The first such meeting with the architect is set

for April 15th.

The LUB approved architectural building

plans are now mounted and displayed at the JCC.

Members can see the current first floor layout

and front and side elevations of the revised building

design, which design the Board has already approved.

Ed Dreyfus, Chair, JCC Rebuild Committee

encourages those members who have not yet joined

in financially supporting the rebuild project to do

so. We need your help in getting this construction

project started.

Inside this issue:

According to our tradition, Jewish belief cele-

brates Shavuot as the moment when the Jewish peo-

ple stood in the presence of God at the foot of Mount

Sinai and received the Commandments that eventually

became the Torah. On May 19 we will celebrate the

Festival of Shavuot. As with all other Jewish holi-

days, many customs and traditions surround its obser-

vance.

In Biblical times, Shavuot was celebrated as

an agricultural holiday marking the beginning of the harvest season. In

the Talmudic period following the destruction of the Holy Temple in Je-

rusalem, the sages of the Sanhedrin in 140 CE, introduced a new histori-

cal theme for Shavuot: the anniversary of the giving of the Torah on

Mount Sinai. This theme has been the festival‘s significance ever since.

One of the traditions observed by many observant Jews is that

they stay awake all night on the eve of Shavuot and study the Torah. The

reason for this tradition according to sages is that the Israelites slept

late on the morning they were to receive the Torah and Moses had to

awaken them. In remorse for this offense, the observant Jews stay up all

night studying the texts of Judaism.

Another tradition that dates back to when the Commandments

were revealed at Sinai is the eating of dairy foods on Shavuot. The rabbis

explained that when the Israelites received the laws, which included the

dietary laws, they realized that their cooking utensils were not kosher,

and so they ate uncooked dairy meals.

Another custom on Shavuot is to eat triangular dumplings

(kreplach) filled with cheese. The rabbis explained that the triangular

shape reflects the three parts of the Hebrew Bible – Torah, Prophets

and sacred Writings.

Another of the images of Shavuot is that of a marriage between

God, the bridegroom and the bride, the Jewish people. Thus the rabbis

saw that Pesach marked the courtship period, and that Shavuot was the

time of the marriage ceremony under the Chupah of Mount Sinai, and

Sukkot was the setting up of the household.

On Shavuot it is also customary to read from the Book Of Ruth.

One reason is that the story of Ruth took place during the harvest sea-

son. The fact that Ruth gleaned sheaves of wheat in the field of Boaz

makes it an appropriate reading for Shavuot. Another reason is that Ruth

who was not of the Jewish people converted to Judaism and is similar to

the Jewish people voluntarily accepting the teaching of the Torah and a

belief in God.

WORDS FROM THE RABBI

VOLUME 3, IS SUE 3

After a long hard Northeast winter, welcome to spring. Most of my recent articles

have been pleas—pleas for volunteers, pleas for money for the Rebuild Project, for the High

Holiday appeal, or dues. These are still active and very important, and please don‘t forget them.

But rather than asking for something, let me use this article for Thank-Yous. First, let me give

a huge thank you to the many JCCers who worked so hard, sometimes against great odds, to

keep our congregation going and active over the winter months. This was more challenging this

year due not only to the harsh winter, and my normal absence, but also to the fact that Rabbi

Jack was on medical leave for a good portion of the time. In spite of this, Religious School,

Services. Social Activities, Administrative Activities, and Special Programs or Events success-

fully continued.

This was accomplished due to the efforts of a lot of dedicated members. Among these

are Judy Smith who took the lead in keeping things going, Michelle Goldman and Lynn Berko-

witz and the teachers and parents who helped with various Religious School activities, Tiger

Wolpert and Cliff Farin and Ben Gubar who took charge of services, Vivian Fitts and those who

worked with her on the many Sisterhood and Kitchen activities, Rose Valentine who no matter

what she is doing or where she is manages to keep us informed with her excellent weekly Shab-

bat Reminders, Karen Schwing for hours of work in preparing and publishing our Bulletins and

for running our Bunko Nite activity, and Mickey Sherry who repaired the floors in our trailer

so it can continue to be safely used for Sunday School Classes.

Our ‗quiet‘ season was still filled with many activities, and a thank you goes to all the other

members who worked on these. The quiet season included such regular items as Religious School

and its many activities, Friday eve and Holiday Services, Mah jong, Breakfast Club, Shabbat

Reminders, and Bulletins. It also included such special events as Lights of Life at SOCH, Cha-

nukah Dinner and Party, Food Baskets, Christmas Day Volunteering at SOCH, New Year‘s Eve

Coffee Shop, Bunko Nite, Community Sedar, and the various Coat, Clothing and Supplies drives.

For all these activities, THANK YOU to all who chaired, worked on, or attended them. If I

missed any, please accept my apology. And thanks also to our Office Manager Bonnie Clark and

Computer Technician Marcie Deutsch for their dedicated work throughout the year.

My final Thank You, and a really big one, goes to Ed Dreyfus for all his work over the

winter in guiding and steering our Rebuild Project to its current status. He has spent countless

hours and made several trips back to LBI to accomplish this. As you know, due to the difficulty

in raising funds, the project had to be downsized. In working with the Architect, Ed was able to

do this modified building design while maintaining its functionality and providing the space that

our congregation requires for its religious, educational, and social activities. This modified JCC

Site Plan application was filed by our attorney Stu Snyder with the Long Beach Twp. Land Use

Board, and is now waiting for its approval. Thanks again to Ed and Stu for their work on this

phase of our Rebuild project.

Other musings— We are saving a considerable amount of money and effort by only

mailing our Bulletin to those who specifically asked. I hope most everyone is reading this on-

line. If you are still receiving a hard copy of the Bulletin and can access it on-line, please call

the office and add your efforts to those of most our members in this cost-savings and labor

savings endeavor. It will always be there for you on our web site and you will have it available

much sooner than if mailed. -- Check out our web site @ www.jccoflbi .org Most of the infor-

mation has recently been updated including the latest drawings, description and floor plan of

our Rebuild Project. -- And finally, please call Rose Valentine to make your generous Rebuild

pledge. We still hope to begin construction this fall, but can‘t unless considerably more monies

are pledged and raised within the next few months. Shalom, Don Pripstein

Welcome

to the

JCC of

LBI Rosemary Ruoff has recently joined our congregation and is most wel-

come. She and her dog Buddy are fixtures at the JCC and have at-

tended almost every religious, social and educational function we have

had over the past several years. She is usually the first to volunteer to

help in setting up, cleaning up, working in the kitchen or elsewhere,

mailings, or anything else that needs to be done. Rosemary‗s permanent

home is in Alaska but she came here to help care for her parents and is

now doing so for her father.

Susan and Gerard Sheehan, former members, have rejoined the JCC

of LBI. Susan works as a nurse and Gerard is presently in Iraq as a

member of the Air Force National Guard. We join in wishing that he

will soon safely return from this tour of duty.

JCC Rebuild Committee

E. Dreyfus met with Mr. Brearley, the architect, on Dec. 9th and worked out further cost reducing

features for the next version of drawings including elimination of the 2nd floor. E. Dreyfus will have an-

other meeting with the architect on Jan. 20th for further discussion and will address the feasibility of

adding a 2nd floor at a later date with the new design.

D. Pripstein will communicate to the membership that the building is being retooled to maintain the func-

tionality at a reduced cost.

Other Topics

D. Pripstein reported that a contract has been signed by Avi Green for the High Holidays.

Rebuild Capital Campaign

No new pledges or gifts were made since the last board meeting, although payment of previous pledges

in the amount of $10,333 has been received.

In R. Valentine‘s report, she recommended that we adjust our Capital Campaign goal to $1.5 million.

Following discussion of the JCC Rebuild Committee topics, the board voted to adjust our Capital Campaign

goal to $1.5 million.

In R. Valentine‘s report, she asked each board member to make 3-4 calls to or set up meetings with mem-

bers who have not yet made a pledge or contribution. A list will be developed which identifies whom each

board member will contact and a bullet-point script will be provided by R. Valentine.

JCC Rebuild Committee

The Committee members approved a new design that provides the functionality required while holding

our estimated building costs within the target set by the board (about $1.2 – $1.4 million without soft costs

included). The estimated costs are based on starting construction in 2010.

E. Dreyfus reported that cost for provisions for a 2nd floor would be an additional $225 – $300K. The

new design allows for potential additions to the building on the 1st floor.

E. Dreyfus reported that about $1 million in the bank and solid pledges are needed to start construc-

tion.

A resolution to approve the new JCC Building Design and to authorize the President to sign off on be-

half of the JCC a suitable approval document, to the architect, was approved unanimously by the Board.

E. Dreyfus and his Committee were congratulated for a job well done in getting us the most ―bang for

the buck‖.

D. Pripstein noted the importance of communicating information about the new plans to the membership.

The new information will be communicated in the bulletin and on our webpage.

Other Topics

D. Pripstein reported that we had 181 responses to our dues mailing. Of those, 34 asked for printed

copies of the bulletin; 102 have not been heard from yet. It was decided that as a cost savings act, we will

get 85 printed copies of the next bulletin – 34 to be mailed and 51 to have on hand and available for mailing,

if requested.

Marcie Deutsch provided T. Schwait with sample nametags with logos for use at services.

B. Karp reported that the Personnel Committee held the annual review with the office staff on January

29, 2010. The goals for 2009 were reviewed and goal for 2010 were set. Input on suggestions from the

office staff was solicited. Increases in pay were approved effective February 2, 2010 for both Bonnie

Clark and Marcie Deutsch.

K. Schwing reminded all Committees to check the website frequently and remove outdated information.

Applications for the bazaar are being received and G. Katz has obtained the permits.

Spring has sprung!

As I sit here typing the

world outside i s buzzing and

chirping. The birds are

perched in the tree

outside my window, the

sun is shining, the grass is

a lush shade o f green and

the flowers are blooming. My family is excited to get outside and enjoy the warm

weather. My boys enjoy soccer, fishing and boating. I can't wait to get my hands

dirty in the garden and plant some veggies!

It is hard to believe that the school year is almost over. Rosh Hashanah

and Yom Kippur have come and gone. The pizza party in the Sukkah and the

Chocolate Fountain Festivities of Simchat Torah seem like distant memories. Our

Menorah has taken it's place in our curio cabinet - anxiously awaiting the festivi-

ties of the year to come. Purim's Megillah Reading, Sleepover, and Carnival seems

like ages ago. Even Passover, which was only two weeks ago seems to be in the

back of my mind.

The kids have had such a great time learning and celebrating these holi-

days. We enjoyed a wonderful year together! In my classroom we learned about

Life Cycle: Bris, Baby Naming, Consecration and Confirmation and the festivities

surrounding the Jewish Wedding. In Renee Dean's class the children have en-

joyed learning Hebrew. She has provided them with skits to act out Bible Stories.

Who knew we had such a theatrical group! Alex has started the little ones on

their journey to learn the Hebrew Alphabet and Holidays. Nitza has done a phe-

nomenal job preparing our (unusually large) group of kids for Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

And of course, Jessica Schwing has volunteered so much that I can't imagine how

we would have gotten through the year without her. A big thank you to all of the

teachers for doing such a wonderful job.

We will soon begin enrollment for next year. I hope to see all of you back

here next year. And of course any new members are always welcome!

My hope is that you all have an enjoyable summer. However, I recently

read a quote that I think is appropriate "When you stop learning, stop listening,

stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die. "As

a educator I feel that this applies to the Summer. I encourage the students to

continue to learn, listen and ask questions about Judaism throughout their Sum-

mer Recess. Being Jewish is not simply something you do from September through

June. For my Bar/Bat Mitzvah students I encourage you to continue to practice

your Haftorah and to continue attending Services to demonstrate your progress

to Rabbi Jack. For my younger students I hope that you will practice your

Alphabet and Reading Skills. All students are encouraged to check a few books

about being Jewish out of the Local Library. You will find that the Summer will

VOLUME 3, I SSUE 3

After about 20 years as a member of the JCC Board of Trustees, Joan Sil-

ver finds it necessary to resign her position because of some family obliga-

tions that will necessitate her spending less time on LBI. Joan was the long-

est serving member on our Board, and her comments and discussion on many

items that come before the Board for discussion and vote will be sorely

missed. In addition to other activities, she served as Chairperson of our suc-

cessful Bazaars for many years and was instrumental in making them the

substantial fundraisers they now are. Joan has assured me that she and Ab-

ner will continue to support the JCC, be active members, and be available to

help whenever possible. I know that the members of the Board of Trustees

as well as the members of our congregation join me in thanking Joan for her

many years of active service and contributions to the JCC.
