Tu B'Shevat Seder Feb 12 Celebrate the New Year for trees
and the splendid, abundant gifts of
the natural world that give our
senses delight and our bodies life.
Join us for the Tu B’Shevat Seder
and lunch on Sunday, February
12, at 11 a.m. at SJC. To celebrate
the holiday, the Seder is filled
with fruits and vegetables (nut-
free) and 4 glasses of wine or
grape juice. Following the Seder,
we will enjoy a traditional
vegetarian Israeli lunch. As we
have in past years, we will collect
money for trees to be given to the
Jewish National Fund. Cost for the
meal is $10/adult and $5/child for
members ($15/adult and $8/child
for non-members). SJC has moved
to an online ticketing system for
payment for events. To pay, go to
https://sjc.yapsody.com, click on
“Tu B’Shevat Seder and Lunch”
and “Get Tickets,” then select the
number of tickets and ticket type,
and follow the payment
instructions. If you have any
questions, contact Joel Simon at
302-245-1386.
SJC Book Group Meeting Feb 22 SJC’s new book group’s first meeting
will be February 22, 7 p.m., at SJC.
We will be discussing Dara Horn’s
All Other Nights. Leaders for this
discussion will be Pat Powell and
Susan Aaronson. Please come
prepared to discuss the book and to
suggest a book for the next gathering.
The Rehoboth Beach and Lewes
Public Libraries have been advised of
our selection, and a few copies will
be available to be placed on order. If
planning to attend, please contact Pat
Powell at 215-290-4595 or Susan
Aaronson at 302-278-7272.
Game Night Feb 25 Want to chase away the winter
blahs? Come to SJC on Saturday,
February 25, at 7 p.m., for a game
night hosted by the Social
Committee. Please bring your
favorite game or party idea along
with a snack and a drink, and join
your friends for an evening of fun
and conversation. What a great
way to spend a winter evening!
We look forward to seeing you.
Please Renew Your SJC Membership Thanks to all who have sent in
their 2017 dues. Because dues are

invoice was included in the
January newsletter, which is
available on the SJC website
under About Us > Newsletters.
You can send a check to our
mailing address or pay online by
going to our website under Giving
and completing the Membership
online payment process. We
request that new members not pay
online, but rather download and
fill out the online membership
form and mail it in with a check.
We welcome all who want to join
regardless of ability to pay. If you
cannot pay full dues, please pay
what you can, let us know it's for
2017, and we’ll gladly include you

Co-President’s Message - Mike Saltzman
We began 2017 with our new
office manager, Debbie Costello,
who started with us on January 9.
We look forward to having her
assistance. She has an interesting
and varied background, one which
we believe will be very beneficial
to SJC. We’ve already transitioned
some of the administrative tasks to
her from the Board and
Membership and Worship
committees. If your committee has
something you believe she could
help you with, please have your
committee chair contact Buddy
Feldman or me.
You’ve also probably heard about
the bomb threats made to
synagogues and other Jewish
institutions in many states,
including Delaware. Thank
goodness, SJC did not receive a
call. There were no actual incidents
of a bomb anywhere, but the
situations were deeply disturbing.
The calls were robocalls, but that
made little difference.
Even before these threats, SJC had
begun to plan for increased security
of our building. The House
Committee is leading the effort to
make our building more secure
with upgraded lighting, key and
lock improvements, and adding
land line phones inside the
building. Keeping our building and
congregants safe requires an effort
by everybody, and that is why we
ask you to “See something, say
something.” Look for building
improvements in the near future.
Board Meetings Meetings are open to members.

Rehoboth Jewish Film Festival Slated for March The second annual Rehoboth
Beach Jewish Film Festival will be
held at the Cinema Arts Theater in
Lewes. The festival begins with a
“pre-festival event” on Thursday,
March 16, with a screening of
Focus, a film based on the novel by
Arthur Miller. Copies of the novel
may be purchased through
Amazon. We are thrilled to
welcome Dr. Eric Zakim, Professor
of Hebrew Literature and Culture
and director of Film Studies at the
University of Maryland to speak to
us at this event.
The actual festival runs from
Wednesday, March 22, through
Sunday, March 26 (SJC will not
sponsor films held on Shabbat.) On
Wednesday evening, an Israeli
dinner will be held at Fish On
Restaurant in conjunction with the
first film, In Search of Israeli
Cuisine. The rest of the festival
follows with a total of eleven
screenings through the weekend.
Several of the films will include a
speaker or a discussion leader.
More information can be obtained
and tickets can be purchased by
calling or visiting the Rehoboth
Beach Film Society at 107 Truitt
Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, 302-
645-9095, or purchase tickets
online at rehobothfilm.com. Scroll
down the left column and click on
Jewish Film Festival. Then click on
online ticket reservations.
You can make contributions to SJC
to support the festival by sending
your donations directly to SJC at
our mailing address. Please write
“Film Fest” on your checks and
include a note with your
contribution that funds can be used
to defray the costs of the festival.

Kiddush Sponsors Needed ASAP Thanks to everyone who has
volunteered to sponsor an Oneg
Shabbat or Kiddush lunch. We
have an immediate need for a
volunteer to sponsor the Kiddush
on February 18, and also on
March 18, April 15 (for Shabbat),
and April 16 (for Pesach Festival
Service). We also are seeking
volunteers for May and beyond. If
you have a specific date you want
to reserve to celebrate an event,
please do so now as we often have
a few people who want the same
date. It’s very easy to set up the
kitchen for your snacks and food.
Someone is always there to give a
hand. To volunteer, please contact
Irene Ullmann at 302-947-9123 or
Thank You Robbin Myerberg! Since December 2008, Robbin
Myerberg has been the SJC
newsletter designer and layout
editor. She has decided to step
down from that position. Each
month, she worked with our
newsletter editor, Fran Sneider, to
publish an informative and
readable newsletter. Rain or shine,
vacations or not, in sickness and in
health, she worked to get the
newsletter out at the end of each
month - 95 monthly newsletters in
all. Thank you, Robbin, for a job
well done!
House Committee Report The House Committee had a busy
January beginning research on a
number of projects to make
improvements in areas such as
parking, lighting, improved door
locks and a few other items. The
committee works closely with the
board to identify issues and
implement Board approved
solutions. The committee has 7
members, but there is always room
for more, and any help is
welcome. If you are a SJC
member with an interest in and
desire to help with building issues,
please contact committee chair,
Matt Ash, whose contact
information is at left.
Passover – Not Too Far Away Passover begins at sundown on
Monday, April 10, and continues
until sundown Monday, April 17,
(or Tuesday, April 18, for those
who observe 8 days). SJC has two
opportunities to honor and
celebrate this most important
festival of freedom from our
history and in Jewish life today.
As has been SJC’s tradition from
our very start in 1997, we will
have a community Seder on the
second night of Passover, on
Tuesday, April 11. Reservations
are required and cannot be
accepted any later than March 30.
We have moved to an online
reservation system. See the form
elsewhere in this issue with all the
information as to location and cost
and how to make a reservation
(i.e., purchase a ticket). The form
is also available on our website
under About Us > Newsletter.
The last day of Passover is also
one of the four times a year when
the Yizkor memorial prayers are
said to honor the memories of our
loved ones. There will be a
Festival service with Yizkor on
Sunday evening, April 16, 7:30
p.m., at SJC. We hope you can
join with us to celebrate the
festival at either or both of our
observances. Hag Sameach–a
joyous festival.
Page 4 Seaside Jewish Community February 2017
Adult Education Programs Meetings are at SJC at 7:30 p.m.
All are invited.
First Thursday: Jewish History
On February 2, we will view and
discuss Part 2 of the series, “The
Story of the Jews.” This part is
about Post Temple Jerusalem. The
early Jews lived in a hostile world.
After the destruction of the Temple
they dispersed to many corners of
their known world. Without a
home, without an army, how did
our religion survive? We follow
our history into welcoming Muslim
Spain, the rest of the Arab world
and England in this episode. We
learn how our ways were codified
and about the brave ones who kept
Judaism from becoming extinct.
Then, on March 2, we will view
Part 3, about how the intellectual
enlightenment opened doors for
Jews in Europe. Even if you've
already seen the series, see it again
with your SJC community and
explore it in more depth.
Second Thursday: A Taste of
Mussar
Each month, we study one virtue or
character trait (middah) that is part
of Mussar, a spiritual discipline
within Judaism. On February 9,
George Beckerman will facilitate
the session where folks will share
their experiences with their
personally selected middot. Then,
on March 9, we’ll begin to study
the middah of Simplicity.
Through Mussar, participants are
able to engage in spiritual practices
that allow them to deepen their
awareness of self by studying a
different middah, a soul trait or
behavior characteristic, each
month. While we are learning
about these traits, it is not an
intellectual study. It’s a way to
explore our spiritual selves,
discovering who we are and
discussing our specific experiences
related to the selected middah.
Please let Rabbi Beth know at
[email protected] if you’ll be
attending for the first time, so she
can email you introductory
information before your first
session. If you plan to participate
regularly, you may want to order
the text the class uses - Everyday
Holiness, by Alan Morinis.
Third Thursday: Jewish Culture
There will not be a third Thursday
event on February 16. On March
16, our third Thursday event will
be the “pre-festival event” start of
the Rehoboth Jewish Film Festival.
See the article about the Film
Festival on page 2 for details.
Fourth Thursday: Pirkei Avot
On February 23 and March 30 (a
fifth Thursday), we continue our
discussion of Chapter 6 of Pirkei
Avot. Our constant aim as we
study the chapter are the words of
the prophet Micah: “He has told
you, O man, what is good, and
what does the Lords require of you,
but to do justice, and to love
kindness, and to walk humbly with
your God.” We also discuss R.
Simeon and his statement: “There
are three crowns; the crown of
Torah; that of the priesthood, and
that of kingdom; the crown of a
good name however, is above all.”
So come and study, discuss, and
share your thoughts. If you have
any questions, please contact Burt
Brenman at [email protected]
or 302-947-2183.
Minutes of SJC Board Minutes are available to interested
members after the Board approves
them. Copies may be obtained by
contacting our Secretary.
Alfred Gross Scholars Shabbat Donations Requested Save the date! The 10th Annual
Alfred Gross Scholars Shabbat
will be Friday-Saturday, June 2-3.
The event is in honor of Alfred
Gross for his leadership role in
founding Seaside and launching
our adult education program. The
2017 event will also celebrate the
20th Anniversary of the founding
of SJC. Our scholars will be
Renee Brachfield and Rabbi Mark
Novak. They will lead Shabbat
services on Friday evening and
Saturday morning. Renee and
Rabbi Mark will enrich our
services with thought provoking
stories and stimulating songs. On
Saturday morning, following a
short service, they will present an
interactive D’var Torah, to be
followed by a story and musical
experience on The Spiritual Magic
of the Niggun. All participants
will have lunch together, and then
Renee and Rabbi Mark will
perform Klezmer tales and inter-
generational storytelling in the
Jewish tradition.
This imaginative and delightful
program, as with each of the
Alfred Gross Lectures since 2007,
is presented at no cost, as it is
fully supported by your
contributions to SJC’s Alfred
Gross Scholars Fund. Please
consider making a contribution to
the Fund as part of your personal
giving plans for 2017. Use the
donation form in this newsletter or
on the homepage of our SJC
website to make a contribution
that would assure the continuity of
the Alfred Gross Scholars Shabbat
into the future and also to applaud
Seaside on our 20th Anniversary.

Religious School News The religious school had a long
break. After celebrating Chanukah
on December 18, the kids began a
2 week winter break. They were
scheduled to return on January 8,
but mother nature had other plans.
School was cancelled due to snow.
As no religious school was
scheduled for January 15 for the
Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, it
was a full 4 weeks before school
resumed on January 22.
Purim Celebration Mar 12 Our annual Purim celebration will
be Sunday, March 12, at SJC.
Following SJC tradition, at 11
a.m., our religious school children
will perform “Wicked: The Untold
Story of Purim” for us, followed
by the reading of the Megilla and
a potluck meat lunch. The children
will also participate in arts and
crafts projects and Hamantaschen
baking. Should be a fun day for
both adults and children. Please
come and support our religious
school. You don’t need to have a
child in the school to attend. Bring
a dish to share at the potluck, and
let Joel Simon know if you plan to
attend the lunch and what food
item you wish to bring by
contacting him at 302-245-1386 or
Yes, You Can! Have you ever wanted to attend an
SJC event but thought you couldn't
afford it? SJC policy is to work with
you if you have a financial hardship.
Please contact the treasurer to
confidentially discuss your situation.
Friendly Reminder Children should always be supervised
at SJC. If you bring a child to an event
they should be with you or another
adult at all times.
Oy Vey 5K! SJC is excited about our 5th Oy
Vey 5k, 1 mile walk, and kids
race. The event will be on April 2,
at 9 a.m., with race day
registration beginning at 8 a.m.
We are again partnering with
Seashore Striders to host a
fantastic day of fun and fitness.
We hope you will consider
running, walking, volunteering,
sponsoring, and/or supporting the
race. Complete the registration
form in this issue if you want to
participate in the race. Complete
the sponsor form if you are willing
and able to support the race
financially. Both forms are also
available on our website under
About Us > Newsletter.
All proceeds benefit SJC's
educational programs. To
volunteer or ask questions, contact
Joel Simon at 302-245-1386 or
need your help with the following:
Sponsors. Your business has a
unique opportunity to support our
race. As a sponsor your business
will be represented in race
materials and displayed
prominently on our race shirts.
Please complete the sponsor form
and mail it to SJC.
Volunteers. Volunteers will be
crucial the morning of the race.
We will need help with set up,
parking, registration, food prep
and service, the water stop, and
directing traffic.
Chefs and Bakers. Anyone who is
able to make a dish for the post-
race party would be a big help.
This has always been a highlight
of our race. Runners always
compliment SJC for the food at
the after party. We feature kugel at
this event and would love one
donated from you, but any dairy or
parve food is fine.
We hope that many of you will
join in the excitement as a
participant, sponsor, volunteer, or
all three! Let's build on the
success of the last four years’
events and make this one even
better.
Book Review The Adult Education Committee
recommends the book Notorious
RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth
Bader Ginsburg by Irin Carmon
and Shana Knizhnik. Delightfully
written, with charts denoting the
amazing difference Ginsburg
made by her lawyerly emphasis on
individual rights; it is a story to
treasure. Her step-by-step
approach in addressing
discrimination provides an
example of how ideas become
accepted and move into the
mainstream. Her marriage is an
example of two people equally
proficient in their fields, and the
ways in which they respected both
the needs of their growing family
and their commitment to their
professional lives. This book is
available through the Delaware
Library System. Questions and
comments may be addressed to
Miriam Zadek at
Wednesday Mornings at Seaside
Every Wednesday. 9 to 10:30 a.m.,
you’ll find the SJC doors open for
those interested in a contemplative,
spiritual, peace-filled start to their day.
Meditation, chant, and prayer are
included. Everyone, including folks
wanting to learn the practice of
meditation, is welcome.

Thank You to our Members Who Completed First Aid Class On Sunday, December 4, twenty
SJC members attended a three
hour class in Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR), Automated
External Defibrillator (AED), and
first-aid. This class teaches life-
saving procedures for prolonging
lives while waiting for first-
responders to arrive. Did you
know that CPR should be started
about ten seconds after a person
shows signs of heart failure? Each
person taking the class had the
option of receiving a certification
card from the American Heart
Association valid for two years.
We are all very thankful to our
students for their participation in
the class, and we hope that they
never have to use these skills.
Yahrzeit Plaques Honor your departed loved one by
having a plaque mounted on the wall
in the sanctuary. It takes 3 months to
receive them.

deliver them to local service
organizations. Thank you and please
help!

2017 Opening Dinner Trumps Snowstorm! SJC’s Opening Dinner was slated
for January 7 at King’s Creek
Country Club, but a record
snowfall postponed the event. The
social committee and KCC agreed
to reschedule, and consequently,
we gathered the following
Saturday, January 14. Due to the
rescheduling, about half who had
initially signed up were unable to
attend, but those who did had a
great time. KCC served a delicious
buffet dinner, and the smaller
group made for a more intimate
evening. We got to know each
other better, and we welcomed
four new couples to SJC. Thanks
to the club for their flexibility in
accommodating us, and to Brina
Krupp and Fran Saltzman for
planning another wonderful
evening.
January Lunches On Thursday, January 19, both
men and women held their
respective lunches. The ladies (or
Juliets) gathered at the Forgotten
Mile Ale House. Eighteen women
enjoyed varied entrees and great
conversation. We were happy to
see some new faces in addition to
many long-standing members.
Afterwards, many of us stayed for
either Mah Jongg or canasta.
Thanks to Debby Markow for
another successful gathering.
Thirteen men met at SJC and
journeyed to Nicola’s on the
Avenue for half-price nic-o-bolis.
The group included a few new
members, and we enjoyed dining
with them. Thanks to Mike
Saltzman for setting up this event.
Pastoral Support – Just A Phone Call Away SJC members visit patients at local
hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab
facilities. We can help families
dealing with the death of a loved
one. SJC’s Religious Leader is
available to help families through
the rituals and processes
surrounding death, including
funeral and burial, Shiva, and
notifying the SJC community, while
other SJC members take care of
providing a Shiva tray or meal of
comfort or a contribution in
memory of the loved one. Contacts:

are ill, grieving, homebound, or just
need a helping hand. Available
support includes sending cards,
visiting people at home, preparing and
delivering meals, picking up groceries
and prescriptions, small repairs around
the house, and running errands. New
Helping Hand team members are
welcome. Contact Anita Smulyan at
