Soon after we purchased our new home on
Second Street Pike, we were asked if we would
like to become a polling place. Some members of
the congregation were involved in local politics.
They were aware that a new polling place was
needed and they thought their synagogue might
offer its facilities. I jumped at the idea.
Over the years, being a polling place for the
community has presented certain conflicts. For
many years, we had a Hebrew School shift that
met on Sunday and Tuesday afternoon.
Whenever a large turnout was expected, we
canceled Hebrew School on voting day. There
still are some issues involving those working the
polls not bringing in food from our neighbors next
door and when the primary is during Passover,
things become even a bit stickier. It has been
worth it, in my eyes, to work through any and all
issues that might arise. We are providing a public
service to our local community and I am delighted
that non Jews have an opportunity to enter our
synagogue to vote. And there is more.
Throughout most of Jewish history in the
diaspora, there was no operative concept of a
citizen. If there were, we would have been third
or fourth class at best. America was and is
different of course. While there have been social
restrictions, educational and employment
limitations for Jews in America, we were never
excluded from participating in the political
process. I always believed and felt that the right
to vote is a tremendous gift and voting is a sacred
act. I was eligible to vote for the first time my
first year in college. I came home from New York
for the day to vote for Thacher Longstreth for
mayor of Philadelphia. It wasn’t the only time I
voted for the losing candidate. Since then, while
there may have been, I don’t recall not voting in a
general election and seldom have I skipped even a
primary race.
I don’t take for granted that we Jews are afforded
full privileges of first class citizenship in our great
country. Perhaps we are right in just taking our
right for granted because it should be taken for
granted by all American citizens regardless of race,
education or financial status. Within the context of
Jewish history however, I just can not take it for
granted.
Yes, this has been an unprecedented election season
in many ways. I remain surprised that the turnout
for elections, even the presidential, is not
significantly higher than it is. I recall learning in an
introductory political science class that some
segments of society don’t vote because they feel
that their vote just doesn’t matter. They may have
valid reason to feel as they do but I’m not sure they
or anyone helps themselves by opting out.
I hope we all opt in for the upcoming election. I
hope we all appreciate the importance and even the
power of our vote. Because elections are held on
regular work days, there is a certain amount of
inconvenience but I hope we all weather whatever
inconveniences there are and do our civic duty and
participate in the democratic process. I am glad that
all these years later, Ohev Shalom remains a polling
place for our immediate neighbors.
I always ask upcoming B’nai Mitzvah in our
synagogue what they are most excited about
regarding their big day. Periodically someone will
say they’re most excited that it will be all over. I
feel that way too about this election. I’m excited it
will all be over on November 9 but on November 8,
let’s all opt in and go out and Vote!

We nicknamed him “The Greeter.” On Rosh
Hashanah, when my children were young, we sat
near a man who seemed to greet almost every
congregant who walked in the door. Offering a
big smile and a warm hug, we watched with awe
and admiration, sure that his new year would be
especially sweet. How special to have such a
joyful role in our community! We didn’t know
many people at that time and although we were
very happy at Ohev Shalom, I don’t know that we
felt particularly connected.
With 3 small children and a full time job teaching, I
was not exactly looking for activities to fill my
time, but when the opportunity arose to help with
a scholar-in-residence weekend I stepped forward.
It was only a few hours of work, but I met many
people and started to feel that thread of
connection. My children became active in youth
group and choir. They, along with my husband,
joined the Ohev Shalom Players and performed in
many Ohev Shalom musicals. Simply being in the
building on a consistent basis and seeing familiar
faces who were now becoming friends made our
connection that much stronger. My husband
became Youth Chair, even sleeping over to
chaperone events. Eventually I became Education
Chair, and am currently 2nd Vice President. It is
now my goal that everyone who walks through our
doors can find that sense of connection.
Hopefully you were able to attend our “Be a Part of
It” activity fair on October 16th. There were more
than twenty groups and committees represented
and many, many ways to get involved. If you
couldn’t attend, it’s not too late. Read through the
list below and let me know where you’d like to
become involved. I’ll forward your name to the
appropriate person.
I hope to see you at New Member Shabbat services
on Friday, November 18th, as we welcome our new
members.
One of the best ways to feel connected is to take on
a leadership role, large or small. Our Leadership

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, former Chief Rabbi of
the British Commonwealth, recently wrote about
the connection between spirituality and listening in
an article that appeared in Jewishpress.com
(August 25, 2016) stating, “In Judaism we believe
that our relationship with G-d is an ongoing
tutorial in our relationships with other people …
How can we expect G-d to listen to us if we fail to
listen to our spouse, our children, or those
affected by our work? And how can we expect to
encounter G-d if we have not learned to listen?”
It’s fair to say that most of us try to listen, to each
other and certainly to G-d, but Michael Zimet, our
Congregant of the Month, makes listening a
priority. By listening, he finds ways to fill the
needs of many in his work, in our community and
at Ohev Shalom.
In 2004 Mike, his wife Marsha and then 10-year
old daughter Eliana, moved to Bucks County from
Mahopac, New York and began their search for a
new synagogue on the Internet. Despite the high-
tech approach, they were looking for a
“congregational family”, a sense of belonging inspired
in Mike by his father, who was a pulpit rabbi in
Poughkeepsie for 43 years. They found that
community at Ohev Shalom where they continue to
love celebrating being Jewish.
Mike strongly believes in giving people the channels
they need so that they can be heard. As President
of Dialogue Solutions, Mike lives his company’s
motto “Get People Talking” as he facilitates
employee-management relations by identifying issues
and concerns to build rapport and improve
communication. He also parlays those skills by co-
chairing his professional association’s global
campaign to help nonprofit agencies address their
communication issues so they, in turn, can better
serve their community.
While giving blood several years ago, Mike listened
to a Red Cross recruiter about the special needs of
cancer patients and he became a platelet donor. He
is now an apheresis ambassador for the American
Red Cross and has donated platelets more than 200

I began my Hebrew education at Ohev Shalom when I was in
third grade. I am now a seventh grader at Richboro Middle
School.
During the week and on the weekends I enjoy playing soccer.
The name of my team is Lower Southampton Dynamo United
and I have played for them since I was three and a half years
old. I also love watching the Green Bay Packers play football.
They are my favorite team and I’ve been a fan since I was a
young boy.
I would like to thank all of my Hebrew teachers, Cantor
Annelise and Allen Katz for helping me learn all the prayers
and my Torah portion for my Bar Mitzvah. I would also like
to thank my parents for inspiring me to practice every day
and my brother for always supporting me.
I cannot wait for my Bar Mitzvah and I know that I will have a
lot of fun!
Joshua Nikolaevsky Hi, my name is
Joshua

I am a 7th grader at Richboro Middle School.
I am very active and enjoy participating in different activities.
This fall I am on the middle school field hockey team and will
try out for the track team in the spring. During the summer I
go to an overnight camp where I play many different sports
and bond with my summer sisters. When I am not busy with
activities, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, going to the
beach, and listening to music.
For my Bat Mitzvah project I raised money, volunteered, and
ran in the Race for Hope in memory of my grandfather.
I would like to thank Cantor Annelise for all her help
preparing me for my Bat Mitzvah. I also want to thank my
parents for always giving me their love and support.

times. One platelet donation can provide as many platelets as 12 to 18 whole blood donations, keeping a cancer patient
with a weakened immune system from being exposed to multiple donors.
Sensitive to the needs of his community after 9/11, Mike began taking security training and has continued his involvement
in security and disaster preparedness here in Bucks County. He recently navigated a sea of red tape to secure a FEMA
grant that will allow Ohev to enhance and upgrade our building and community security.
With all he does, Mike still finds time to be active in Men’s Club and will be honored as Man of the Year this December.
Mike spearheads the Yom HaShoah Candle Project. His efforts honor his paternal grandparents who were lost in the
Holocaust and raises funds for our Hebrew School students’ annual trip to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. Mike is also
the religious chair of Men’s Club, organizing the Men’s Club Shabbats and helping lead weekday and shiva minyans.
Mike describes his motivation to volunteer as being part of the family DNA. He states, “If you have the time, skills and abilities that can help
others, why not do it? Giving of your time can always make a difference.”
Thank you Mike, for making a difference at Ohev Shalom, and congratulations on being November’s Congregant of the Month.

There is so much happening in the coming
months, much of which you can see here on our
page!

Torah Fund
Torah Fund supports
the major educational
institutions of the
Conservative
Movements which help
to ensure a healthy
future for Conservative
Judaism. These
institutions educate not
only Rabbis and Cantors, but educators,
administrators, social workers and lay leaders.
Torah Fund provides scholarships at all five
locations, JTS in NYC, The Ziegler School in LA,
Seminario in Argentina, Schechter Institute in
Jerusalem and the new Zacharias Frankel College
in Potsdam, Germany. Congregations benefit
from the education their members may have
received at these institutions.
Twenty years ago Ohev Shalom sent seven
students into the freshman class of the Albert A.
List College of Jewish Studies in conjunction with
Barnard and Columbia Colleges. Here is a story
of one of these fortunate students, my son Todd
Surden. Todd was a very good student at Council
Rock High School and a very active USYer here at
Ohev. Todd wanted to attend an Ivy League
university. When Rabbi Perlstein heard of Todd's
desires, he told him about List College. Todd was
very interested but immediately said, "A Rabbi I
am not sure. I always wanted to be a lawyer."
Rabbi told Todd, "List is not only for Rabbis but
you'll get a terrific liberal education and an Ivy
League degree." Todd applied, got a scholarship,
graduated and attended law school at Villanova
School of Law. What a thrill it was for my family to
attend three graduations in one week in the Spring
of 2001, one on the Columbia University Library
steps, one from List College and finally from the
Jewish Theological Seminary. Today Todd practices
law in Marietta, Georgia, and at 37 is President of his
synagogue, Etz Chaim of Marietta. Todd has also
been honored by being named to The Atlanta Jewish
Metropolitan Areas 40 under 40 rising stars when
he was 35. Todd has never regretted the education
and his experiences at Columbia and List along with
the many lasting friendships he formed. With your
donations to Torah Fund, you can enable students
to attend programs not only at the undergraduate
level but at the graduate level also.
Please consider giving at any level you might feel
comfortable to perpetuate lay and professional
leadership in the Jewish Community.
Read my next article in the Dove Tale where I will
high light another Ohev Shalomer who attended
programs supported by Torah Fund.

December 8, 2016
Saving Sophie by Ronald H. Balson
From Ronald H. Balson, author of Once We Were Brothers, Sav-ing Sophie is the powerful story of the lengths a
father will go through to protect his daughter and an action-packed thriller that will take you on an unforgettable
journey of murder and decep-tion, testing the bonds of family and lover.
The evening will begin with a light dinner at 6:15 pm. Dinner is $20 per person. At 7:30 pm, Rabbi Perlstein will
lead the review and discussion. The discussion is free. Come for both or just come for the book review if you
wish. If you’ve ever been to one of Rabbi Perlstein’s book reviews, you know you are in for a wonderful evening!
Please send your dinner reservation from below (check to “Ohev Shalom Sisterhood”) to:
Phyllis Halpern, 13108 Ann’s Choice Way, Warminster, PA 18974 no later than November 23, 2016.
If you plan on coming just to the book review, please call Phyllis at 215-675-3637 so we can be sure to have a
place for you. See you there!
B’Shalom, Phyllis Halpern, Ileene Jaffe, Nina Surden

Finally, let me invite you to share your ideas for increasing engagement in our Ohev Shalom community. How can we do
better? Simply email me at mdratch@comcast.net. Of course it’s up to you to take the step forward. Who knows?
Maybe before long someone will nickname you “The Greeter”.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

THANK YOU !!!
Men’s Club
Your Men’s Club sincerely
hopes you all had a meaningful
Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur. Time spent with family
is always enjoyable.
We had a great turnout at our
Candidates Forum. Brian
Fitzpatrick and Steve
Santarsiero both spoke to our
group, expressing their ideas for
the future. They also were able
to take questions from the
audience and did their best to
make us feel comfortable and
confident with them.
Our Scotch and Steak in the Sukkah was a
wonderful, success as always. Those of you who
were there enjoyed a terrific meal and great
camaraderie. This is what your club is about.
When you don’t take advantage, we all lose.
Coming up on Thursday, November 16th, is our
Annual Membership Dinner. We’re having B.J.
Schecter as a speaker. B.J. is Executive Editor for
Sports Illustrated/SI.com. He oversees college
sports and SI's investigative team, and is editor of
Campus Rush. This will be a very interesting talk
and he is a wealth of knowledge in the College
Sports arena. Bring your questions for B.J. And our
catered dinner will be excellent as always.
On Sunday, December 11th, Your Men’s Club will
be honoring Michael Zimet as our Man of the Year.
This affair is being held at Har Zion Temple in Penn
Valley. Please see our flyers and think about putting
tables together for you and your friends to honor
Mike, an integral part of the Ohev Community in
many ways. We hope to see you there.
