SHABBAT SHALOM V'SHALEM - Temple B'nai Jeshurun

One of my favorite sounds in the 

world occurs each week in Jewish 

communities all over the world. 

I’ve heard it on the streets of 

Jerusalem as Jews of all ages 

walk to and from shul. I’ve heard 

it said by hundreds of children at 

the end of Friday night services 

atop the Chapel on the Hill at Camp 

Harlam. Most recently, I hear this 

sound each week at the close 

of our own worship services. 

That sound, of course, is the 

traditional Sabbath greeting: Shabbat Shalom! 

Shabbat Shalom literally means “A Sabbath of Peace” 

and is a phrase we use to welcome and receive each other 

on Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Shalom, however, 

is a word found prolifically throughout our Jewish literature, 

liturgy and language. 

A If you ask one of our ECC students what shalom means, 

they will tell you “hello” and “goodbye.” Indeed, shalom is 

the simple way to greet another person. An appropriate 

reply is the phrase Shalom shalom. 

A We sing Shalom Aleichem (“Peace be upon you”) to begin 

our Friday night services and Oseh Shalom (“May the 

One who makes peace.”) at the end of the Amidah. 

A We describe the Torah as a “tree of life to all who hold 

fast to it. Its ways are ways of pleasantness and all its 

paths are peace.” 

A In Modern Hebrew, the verb l’shalem means to pay a 

fee or settle a bill. 

However, the phrase can mean much more when we look 

deeper into the words. The word Shalom comes from the 

Hebrew root shin-lamed-mem (shalem) meaning “balanced,” 

“complete” or “whole.” 

What better time than Shabbat to reflect on ways in which 

Temple

SHABBAT SHALOM V’SHALEM 

by Rabbi Karen R. Perolman 

we can make our congregational community more complete 

and whole? On February 12 th TBJ will be participating in 

Shabbat Shalem, a program sponsored by MetroWest ABLE, 

in honor of Jewish Disability Awareness Month. The mission of 

Jewish Disability Awareness Month is to bring Jewish communities 

in the MetroWest area together in order to raise awareness 

and provide meaningful inclusion of individuals with disabilities 

and their families in all parts of Jewish life. 

We need only to look into our Torah and to the story of 

our people in the Book of Exodus to again be reminded of 

the importance of an inclusive community. Soon after Moses 

meets God in the burning bush and is given his mission of 

confronting Pharaoh and freeing the Israelites from slavery, 

we learn that he suffers from an unnamed speech-impediment. 

He cries out to God: “I have never been a man of words, either 

in times past or now that you have spoken to me; I am slow 

of speech and slow of tongue.” Although the text does not 

tell us Moses’ inner feelings, we can only imagine his anxiety, 

embarrassment and nervousness. Perhaps Moses is slyly asking 

God, if he, a person challenged by a physical limitation, could 

be the leader of the Israelites. 

Ultimately, God is proven as an understanding and inclusive 

God who gives Moses an interpreter and spokesperson in his 

brother Aaron. God says to Moses: “You shall speak to him 

[Aaron] and put the words in his mouth — I will be with you 

as you speak, and tell both of you what to do — and he shall 

speak for you to the people.” Rather than casting Moses away 

or embarrassing him for his differences, God makes the 

situation shalem, complete. 

So too, we will celebrate Shabbat Shalem, a Shabbat made 

“whole and complete” by the inclusion of all of our members. 

B’nai Jeshurun is proud of our involvement with MetroWest 

ABLE as we continue to seek to make our Congregation inclusive, 

warm and welcoming for each person who enters our doors. 

Shabbat Shalom v’Shalem!

2 February/March 2011 • Adar I/Adar II Congregation B’nai Jeshurun: www.tbj.org

As this article arrives in our homes, we are entering a 

most challenging phase in our Torah reading cycle. We’ve 

moving from aggadah (narrative) to halachah (law), from 

the dynamic story of our Jewish family and the birth of a 

Nation to the endless list of rules and regulations. It’s easy 

to see ourselves in the story of a family in flux, facing 

challenges and change, but how do we, contemporary 

Reform Jews, connect with this set of conventions? Of 

course, therein lays the very definition of our Reform 

Movement. Marking our 200 th year in 2010, we have 

spent two centuries seeking meaning and relevance of 

ancient precepts for our lives today. 

In February, we will read the well-known story of the 

Golden Calf, and the fury with which Moses faces the 

people, as he observes this egregious offense. We read 

from the book of Exodus, “Do not make for yourself any 

molten gods” (Exodus 34:17). The famous Hassidic 

Kotzker Rebbe defined the molten god as a fixed image, 

inflexible, and incapable of taking new shape. Thus should 

be our relationship with God and Judaism: not molten or 

static, but ever evolving, taking on new spiritual meaning 

and relevance, reflective our experience, education, and 

of course our world around us.

Rabbi Matthew D. Gewirtz 

Radical Judaism: What Does It Mean to 

Find Sacred Meaning in Tumultuous Times? 

Rabbi Gewirtz will help you consider the questions: What 

does it mean to be either religious or spiritual? How do we 

articulate a religious vision that embraces evolution? How is 

it possible that in our frenetic and sometimes chaotic world 

that we can still find balance, wholeness, and most of all 

meaning? These questions will be approached through the 

writings of Rabbi Arthur Green, traditional texts, as well as 

the sharing of the texts of our lives.

EDUCATION 

This reminds me of one of my favorite Hebrew proverbs: 

“Do not confine your children to your own learning for 

they were born in another time.” 

As a Reform congregational family, we place great 

emphasis on the value of informed choice. We study 

our tradition, then renew our covenant with innovative 

practice. Why then should we expect our Bubbe’s religious 

school to prepare our children for Jewish life in 

2011? Frankly, we don’t! A component of the Long Range 

Plan for the Temple has included strategically planning for 

innovative education across the generations. Jewish continuity 

depends on Jewish education, and education in 2011 

cannot be rote memory and recitation. Rather, our TBJ 

programs of education seek to plan for meaningful engagement. 

Our education study theme for the year, “What does 

it mean to be…” raises evocative questions at every stage 

of our learning journey. 

As we continue to evaluate and improve our programs, 

we look forward to providing the most relevant and highest 

quality Jewish education for the TBJ community – education 

for this time.

had a wonderful time. Thank you to all who came out for such 

a special evening, and a special thank you to Jane Wildstein

Happy New Year! As we move from a great 2010 for the 

Brotherhood we are looking at an even greater 2011 with 

many fantastic events on the horizon. First, the Brotherhood, 

led by Saul Simon, will be strongly represented in the entertainment 

portion of the upcoming Purimania! We’re all looking 

forward to see the results of their hard work. Rumor has it 

Saul and his troupe are looking to book a West Coast tour 

later in the year. 

As we previously announced, the 

TBJ Brotherhood is presenting a 

concert on Sunday, April 10 th , in the 

Sanctuary, featuring Rock And Roll 

Hall of Fame inductee Dave Mason. 

As co-founder of the legendary 

group Traffic, with Steve Winwood, 

Mason scored their earliest hit with 

his song “Feelin’ Alright,” later covered 

by Joe Cocker. As a musician 

with a long distinguished career, 

Dave has collaborated and performed 

with Jimi Hendrix, The 

Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, George 

Harrison and Fleetwood Mac. This intimate evening with The 

Dave Mason Band will also include many of his electrifying 

solo hits like “We Just Disagree,” “Only You Know & I Know,” 

“Show Me Some Affection,” “Every Woman,” Carol King’s 

“Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” and “All Along the Watchtower” 

featuring Dave’s outstanding guitar work. We welcome 

you to support this inaugural Brotherhood concert. Help 

us sell this show out by purchasing tickets or becoming a 

show sponsor, which includes a private pre-show reception 

with Dave Mason. Details can be found at TBJ.org, 

under EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS or going to 

www.BrotherhoodConcerts.com. Additionally, anyone who 

wishes to be a part of this exciting new event by joining the 

Brotherhood Concert Committee please contact Concert 

Chairperson David Stone at David@NancyAndDavid.com. 

Lastly, softball season approaches and the Brotherhood 

is looking to improve on last year’s disappointing end 

and return the League Championship Trophy to TBJ. 

Anyone interested in joining the team please email 

Brotherhood@TBJ.org for more information. 

I would like to remind everyone that our monthly Board 

meetings are open to all Brotherhood members and you are 

encouraged to come and share your ideas. We ask that you 

RSVP to Brotherhood@TBJ.org, so that we can ensure there 

is enough food and drink on hand, but last minute arrivals 

are always welcome. Please also look for the TBJ Brotherhood 

on Facebook and LinkedIn for up-to-date information on 

upcoming events. 

In closing, I would, as always, like to thank the Brotherhood, 

clergy and TBJ administration for their continuing support 

and guidance. We welcome your suggestions and, most 

importantly, your participation. Please send your 

ideas and questions to Brotherhood@TBJ.org. 

Brotherly yours, 

Craig Parker 

BROTHERHOOD 


After a few months as Co-Chairs of the Caring Community 

Committee, it feels as if we are officially up and running. What 

a wonderful committee this is, filled with people who really 

“care”. Whether we are talking about Temple Members who 

are making visitations, cooking, running errands and helping 

those in need, or the people we are lucky we enough to visit 

and get to know. Both groups are truly blessed in what they 

derive from these relationships. 

Our suggestion box is out in front of the Sanctuary for 

members to drop us a line with any needs of our congregants 

or those willing to help us and do mitzvot. On that same 

table is some helpful literature and even our new Caring 

Community Committee brochure that will remind members 

of all of our many roles at TBJ. We now have a Caring 

Community Committee representative at every Friday night 

service, to help members who have come by themselves 

and may be hoping to sit with or meet other congregants. 

This also gives us an opportunity to mingle before and 

after services so we can hear about any needs in the 

community. Please watch for us with our striped ribbon 

every Friday night. 

For more information about the Caring Community 

Committee, please contact the Committee Co-Chairs,

CARING COMMUNITY 

Grief, Loss and Jewish Belief in the Afterlife 

The loss of someone you love is a very painful, personal 

experience. Each person experiences their own distinctive 

grief process in their own time. There are many feelings 

that may be difficult to deal with such as anger, guilt, deep 

sadness and shock. While these are all normal reactions to 

loss, it can still be overwhelming and frightening. There is 

no one way to grieve for the loss of someone significant in 

your life, but there are healthy ways to cope with this 

painful experience. Remember that this is a process. 

A Reach out and be open to family, and friends who 

want to be there for you. 

A Take care of your own physical health. 

A Seek out professional help if you are struggling or 

cannot function. 

A Find ways to express your feelings creatively or physically. 

A If you feel it would be helpful to be with others who have 

experienced a loss, join a bereavement support group. 

A Find comfort in your Temple. TBJ is a warm and 

supportive community where there are many who 

want to be there for you during this time of sadness. 

A Develop a deeper understanding of Jewish Belief in 

the Afterlife. While many Jews feel that there is not a 

Jewish belief in the afterlife, this is a misconception. 

An exploration into what is really thought about this 

issue can bring a sense of comfort and understanding 

in dealing with the loss of a loved one.

TIKKUN OLAM 

Mitzvah Corner 

The Mitzvah Mountain idea was born from a conversation I had with Robin 

Weidhorn and Jodi Cooperman concerning a friend I have who works at the Metro 

Regional Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Newark, which serves children who 

have been sexually abused. Three years ago, I learned that they had no funds 

for holiday gifts and Christmas was fast approaching. Robin and Jodi suggested 

we build a mountain and within a week the kids had their gifts. Amazing! Today, not 

only do we build the mountain, we fulfill wish lists. This year Sharon Weintraub and 

I collected over $10,000 worth of toys and gift cards for over 90 children. 

Giving up a night of Chanukah for children that are abused is a great thing to do — if you 

ask any adult. But do the kids really get it? Especially the little ones? I was not really certain 

until this year. At the toy store, my son Josh (age 5) was happy to pick out a toy for someone his age less fortunate, 

but not happy to leave without a toy for himself. I thought for sure that he did not conceptualize our intent. 

I was surprised, to say the least, when I was told the next day that not only was he boasting to his friends in 

Kindergarten about giving up a night of presents, he was also explaining to them why. His why was simple. 

Josh said, “This boy had a mommy or daddy that was mean to him and hurt him and he was sad inside.” Josh 

proudly said his present would make him happy again. He then came home and asked to give up another night. 

In a world of excess, it is so difficult to teach a child and give them the experience of what it really means 

to be charitable. I believe it is a gift to be able to really give to those less fortunate through TBJ, whether it is 

by building the Mitzvah Mountain or housing IHN homeless families. Again and again as people dropped off 

generous gifts for the mountain, they thanked me for allowing them the opportunity to help others. I am truly 

thankful to TBJ for giving me these priceless opportunities.

March 6th & 13th What Does It Mean To Be…A Jewish Hero? 

A Closer Look at Megilat Esther/The Book of Esther & the Real Story of Purim 

Abra P. Lee, Religious School Director 

Many of us know Purim for its noisemakers and masks, but what hidden meaning can be revealed 

when contemporary Jews study this epic take of exile and redemption? Examine the deeper messages 

imbedded in the text of Megilat Esther — the plots & sub-plots, the true meaning of Purim historically 

and its relevance for us today.

THE ROSALIND & ALFRED LIPPMAN GALLERY 

Joel Katz – Lenticular Art • January 31 st to March 14 th 

Joel has always been excited by contemporary art involving color and form. 

Recently he has completed work on lenitcular art, an art form which involves multiple 

original images printed on an optical lens, which creates movement and animation 

when the viewer moves past the work. Lenticular Imaging is a truly exciting art 

form. It brings the viewer into play by involving that person or persons with the 

artwork. Only through intimacy can the viewer experience movement and change. 

Joel makes his images colorful, whimsical and playful, thereby creating a magical 

feeling which the viewer can sense. He enjoys watching people viewing his work and 

catching the surprise and smiles on their faces as they wonder how this work is done. 

Recently retired, Joel now has time to devote to his art, photography and exhibits 

at many art festivals. He has received numerous awards and his work is shown in 

numerous galleries and private collections.
