Our hearts go out to the

parents and families of the

20 darling children and 6

devoted faculty members at

the Sandy Hook ElementarySchool in Newtown,

CT. We pray that they may

find some measure of conso-

lation in the love and sup-

port of each other, and of

our entire nation. May we

emerge from our national

grief emboldened to stand

up to the gun lobby in this

country, and eliminate this

scourge from our midst once

and for all.

May the memory of the

righteous be for a blessing.

This coming January 22nd our country will mark the 40th anniversary of the land-

mark Supreme Court Decision of Roe v. Wade, which granted women in America

the legal right to obtain a safe and hygienic abortion. The 7-2 decision was writ-

ten by Justice Harry Blackmun, who was chosen because of his prior experience asresident counsel at the Mayo Clinic. The case was based on a Texas statute that

criminalized all pregnancy terminations except those in which a direct threat to the

life of the woman could be demonstrated. The case was brought by Jane Roe,

the pseudonym of a single pregnant woman challenging the Texas law as a viola-

tion of the Constitutional right to privacy. The Court ruled that the Texas statute

violated the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments, which protect an

individual's "zone of privacy" against state laws. The decision cited past cases rul-

ing that marriage, contraception, and child rearing are activities covered in this

"zone of privacy." The Court argued that the "zone of privacy" was "broad enough

to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy." This

decision took into consideration the full range of physical, psychological, and economic stresses a pregnant

woman must face.

As we are well aware, this decision sparked a storm of controversy, and has elicited vigorous protests from

those groups who believe that life begins at the moment of conception, and thus any abortion procedure should

be considered as murder. But we also have seen significant support for this decision, growing out of a wide

spectrum of belief in this country. The wide divergence of perspectives, both religious and otherwise, make

one thing clear: there is no religious consensus in America on abortion, and thus these procedures must re-

main legal, safe, and available for all women and girls who decide to seek them out. While we breathe a col-

lective sigh of relief that in the recent election by and large the most extreme anti-choice candidates were de-

feated, there are still those in Congress and in the state legislatures who are actively seeking ways to chip away

at womens rights in this area, and restrict womens health care access in general, as the targeting of PlannedParenthood for defunding measures proves.

As we anticipate this anniversary, it is useful for us to review the brief statements of some of the most promi-

nent religious groups in America, whose national judicatories have gone on record as supportive of choice, and

in recognition of a woman's moral agency and personal privacy.

Please note the presence of our own national body as well, the Union for Reform Judaism.

American Baptist Churches, USA: Recognizing that each person is ultimately responsible to God, we

encourage women and men in these circumstances to seek spiritual counsel as they prayerfully and

conscientiously consider their decision.

American Friends Services Committee: the right to individual conscience the personal right to

choose in regard to contraception and abortion. a consistent position supporting a womans right to

follow her own consciencefree of the coercion of poverty, racial discrimination and availability of

services to those who cannot pay.

Catholics for Choice: an examination of core principles of Catholic theology reveals a tradition

that respects the capacity of individuals to make moral decisions.

Disciples of Christ: persons who must decide whether or not to undergo an abortion shall have the

informed supportive resources of the Christian community to help them make responsible choices, and

that congregations and individuals give continued full support to each person who must make such a

decision, knowing that whether or not an abortion is decided the person will need the supportive

assurance of Gods grace and love which meaningfully can come with the Christian community.

Episcopal Church:Any proposed legislation on the part of national or state governments regarding

abortions must take special care to see that individual conscience is respected and that the responsibil-

ity of individuals to reach informed decisions in this matter is acknowledged and honored.

Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.): We affirm the ability and responsibility of women, guided by the

Scriptures and the Holy Spirit, to make good moral choices.

Union for Reform Judaism (formerly Union of American Hebrew Congregations):Affirm our un-

wavering commitment to the protection and preservation of the reproductive rights of women.

Unitarian Universalist Association: the right to individual conscience the personal right to

choose in regard to contraception and abortion.

United Church of Christ: within the context of the concern for sacredness of individual lives, as

exemplified in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, God calls us when making choices, especially as

these relate to abortion, to act faithfully. This includes being faithful in our concern for the life andhealth of women.

United Methodist Church:We call all Christians to a searching and prayerful inquiry into the sorts of

conditions that may warrant abortion. We commit our Church to continue to provide nurturing minis-

tries to those who terminate a pregnancy, to those in the midst of a crisis pregnancy and to those who

give birth.

Please show these statements to anyone who still claims that religious people are anti-choice. In addition, I

also would heartily recommend to you the books of two of my colleagues who have worked tirelessly on be-

half of womens rights.

SACRED WORK: PLANNED PARENTHOODAND ITS CLERGY ALLIANCES, by Rev. Tom Davis and ALL POLI-TICS IS RELIGIOUS: SPEAKING FAITHTOTHE MEDIA, POLICY MAKERSAND COMMUNITY, by Rabbi Dennis

S. Ross

I am a member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, representing all the religious groups whose

statements appear above, and more. I am also a member of Concerned Clergy for Choice, which operates in

partnership with Family Planning Advocates in Albany. In addition, I serve on the Clergy Advisory Board of

Planned Parenthood of NYC. Though I'm sure you know this, I want to reiterate the seriousness, thoughtful-

ness, and prayerfulness with which all my colleagues in these clergy groups approach this issue, and work on

behalf of women everywhere.

On the Shabbat preceding the Roe v. Wade anniversary, January 18

th

, after the Shabbat Evening Ser-vice (at 6:30), as we eat our customary Third Friday pizza, we will hold a discussion on the anniversary,

and view several brief video clips. We will address problematic bills now pending in Congress and vari-

ous State Legislatures. We also will discuss what we personally can do to uphold Roe v. Wade, now fully

40 years later. I hope you will join us. It is a busy weekend, of course, with the celebration of Martin

Luther King Weekend and the Inauguration. But this is very much a part of the significance of that

weekend, and we at Union Temple will mark it accordingly.

On behalf of the officers, best wishes for

a happy and productive 2013. We have

been even busier than usual here at Un-

ion Temple, as the High Holidays andsubsequent festivals led right into the

Presidential election campaign, which

itself was interrupted by Superstorm

Sandy, which was followed by the relief

efforts of the entire URJ and Union

Temple community.

This year we intentionally scheduled

Mitzvah Day in November instead of in

the spring, to follow naturally from the

rush of holidays and festivals in Septem-

ber and October. As it turned out, our Social Action activities were

even more extensive than expected because of the needs resulting

from the devastation to the Rockaways and elsewhere, caused by

Sandy. In addition to our annual successful Thanksgiving Fooddrive at Key Food, and our blood drive in conjunction with Meth-

odist Hospital, Union Temple volunteers responded in a number of

ways to assist storm victims. Our Preschool collected cash dona-

tions in support of Warbasse Nursery School. The Youth Group

conducted a clothing and supplies drive for Midnight Run, an inter-

faith organization serving New Yorks homeless population. We

collected winter coats for people who needed them, in cooperation

with New York Cares. The Religious School participated in a bake

sale in cooperation with Masbia that raised $3200. Rabbi Good-

man visited the Rockaways with her colleagues from the New YorkBoard of Rabbis, along with representatives of FEMA and the Met-

ropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty. Vol-

unteers cooked Thanksgiving meals that

were distributed through the Old First Re-

formed Church in Park Slope. Old First

has organized an impressive program to

help storm victims, and as of this writing,

the Social Action Committee is planning

efforts with Old First for the holidays, in-

cluding obtaining cash donations madepayable to Union Temple, with Old

First Church Hurricane Relief in the

memo, and organizing volunteers to cook.

In addition we have included in our website

and E-Blasts volunteer opportunities and

fund raising appeals linked particularly to

the URJ Relief Fund and UJA.

Social Action has always been an integral

part of Union Temple, and we are gratified

by the response of our members to all of

these efforts. The work will continue in the

New Year, so please pay attention to the

Bulletin, E-Blasts and website for further

information. Thanks to the Social Action

Committee and all volunteers who have

responded.

Please save the date - Sunday, January 27th at 10 AM - for a Brotherhood BookBreakfast. Rabbi Goodman has arranged for author Erika Dreifus to speak about her

book Quiet Americans. It is a collection of seven short stories about families ofHolocaust survivors, and the lingering effects, and dilemmas the characters faced

shortly afterward and generations afterward.

It is a very engaging book, not very long, and available in either paperback or E-book format. I highly recommend reading it over the next few weeks.And even ifyou don't get a chance to read Quiet Americans in advance, please come to our

Brotherhood Book Breakfast on Sunday, January 27th.

-Steven Segall, President

Home, is a little word,

but for every one of us it

comes packed with pow-

erful images and con-

jures up a multitude of

emotions. For most of

us, its the place where

we live, where we feel

loved and comfortable,

where we belong. Too

often we take it for

granted and forget that

there are many people,

especially Jews, for

whom home is but a

longing and a dream. On

Sunday, January 13,

2013, at 10 AM, Joyce

Zonana, the acclaimed

author of DREAM

HOMES:From Cairo to

Katrina, an Exiles

Journey, will explore the

true meaning of home

with Sisterhood. An

Egyptian Jew, Ms. Zo-

nana was born in Cairo,

but her family fled the

country after the 1948

Arab-Israeli war. Her

life became a series of

journeys as she searched

the world for the one

place where she could

truly feel accepted and

at home. She will tell us

the riveting story of her

travels and of their in-

spiring culmination. She

will also share with us

her video of Cairos

beautiful but now de-

Sisterhood

serted synagogues. Be sure to be with us to meet this remarkable woman and to dis-

cuss her unforgettable story. Bring your friends, and, of course, bring your appetite,

for, as always, our table will be spread with good things to eat.

Sisterhood wishes everyone a happy, healthy, and successful New Year. May 2013be a year of joy, peace and blessings in our lives, our homes, and our world.

From Friday through

Monday, December

7-10, more than 250

Reform Jewish high

school students gath-

ered in Washington,

DC for the LTaken

Conference, con-

vened by the Reli-

gious Action Center

(RAC) of Reform

Judaism. My hus-

band Stephen and Iaccompanied six of

the members of our

own Union Temple

Youth Group for this

extraordinary week-

end. The participants

were: Ben Campbell,

Amanda Grad, Abi-

gail Marin, Ben

Segal , I sabel leSiegel, and David

Vogel. Joy Grad,

Amandas aunt, also

came to help as a

chaperone.

T h e n a m e

Jews consider to be

our ethical mandate

in the world. The

these 4-day programs each year, so

that some 2,000 Reform Jewish

youth from all over the country

have a chance participate. The

participants in this particular gath-

ering mostly came from the

Tristate area, though there were

also two groups there from Cali-

fornia.

From Friday through Sunday,

through various learning activities

and lobbying simulations, the teensexplored issues of importance on

the current political scene: federal

funding for embryonic stem cell

research, greater access to gyneco-

logical care and abortion services

for women in the military, greater access and benefits for people with disabilities, closing the gun show loop-

holes, the economics of global warming, ENDA legislation (LGBT Employment Non-Discrimination Act),

complexities of nuclear disarmament, and more. Then, on Monday morning, dressed to the nines, we all trav-

eled up to Capitol Hill, and individually addressed the staffers in the offices of the members of the Senate and

House of Representatives. The members of our

temple spoke with the staffers of Senator Kirsten

Gillebrand, Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez, and

Congressman Jerrold Nadler. I can tell you that

they were absolutely wonderful: articulate, pas-

sionate, and exuberant. I hope to share each of their

speeches with you. We were proud and moved. I

also hope that this experience will encourage them

to make lobbying their Senators and Congressional

Representatives, and their Assembly Members andState Senators in Albany as well, a regular part of

their lives as Jewish Americans with a stake in our

society. And, if I may, its a process in which

ALL of us ought to be engaging, for the stake WE

have as well.

Yesher Koach to the Union Temple Youth Group!

Preschool

In the aftermath of HurricaneSandy we decided to join togetheras a school and reach out to aschool affected by the storm. War-

basse Nursery School is located inthe Coney Island area. This highlyregarded school has provided earlychildhood education since 1969 forboth typical and special needs chil-dren ages two to five years old.The hurricane brought severalinches of water to Warbasse, dam-aging much of their toys andequipment. Clean-up included acostly expenditure for mold reme-

diation. We reached out to our par-ent body and Temple members todonate money for our sister schoolto aid their rebuilding efforts. Weare in the process of collecting do-nations which we will forward to

Warbasse Nursery School.

Back at Union Temple Preschool,the Chickadees, our two year olds,have been learning about Chanu-kah and all aspects of the celebra-tion - the menorah, latkes, anddreidels. They are also talkingabout the winter. The children willlearn about snow, ice, cold, and allthe gear that comes along with theseason. There is a lot more inter-action between the children as theybegin to move past the stage ofparallel play and are forming con-nections and building friendships

through a variety of games.

Life in the Sparrows and Robins,our three year old classes, is a buzzwith growing friendships and play.They are currently working on awinter unit and talking, singingand reading stories about thechanging weather and upcomingholidays. The Sparrows and Rob-

ins have been creating lots of seasonal and Chanukah art including,lovely snow collages, Chanukah themed pictures and beautifully deco-rated snowflakes of all sizes and different mediums. The wooden meno-rah, driedels, gelt and latke toys are a recent favorite in both classrooms.

The Sparrows love to take turns hosting daily Chanukah parties on therug and in the dramatic play area. While the Sparrows and Robins areworking hard learning new songs and creating festive art work, theycontinue to work on friendship building and self- awareness throughtheir classroom routines. The growth we see is heartwarming. The Rob-ins and Sparrows have become close knit groups, eager to help one an-other through frustrating moments and always offering tidbits of advice

to each other.

The Puffins and Hummingbird, our four year olds, are also focusing onChanukah while simultaneously working on a social curriculum. In theHummingbirds classroom the teachers noticed that many of the chil-

dren were uncomfortable trying new things and felt intimidated if theycould master something right away. In response to this the Humming-birds have a new motto:Hummingbirds Try Everything; Hummingbirds

are Flexible; Everyone Makes Mistakes

The Puffins and Hummingbirds classes recently visited the BrooklynMuseum where they continued to explore the theme of differences andimperfection. First they visited Mickalene Thomas's exhibit: Origin

of the Universe, where they observed one of Ms. Thomas' works, a

gold and red painting of imprecise horizontal lines. Some of the chil-dren were surprised that this painting could be in a museum. They dis-

cussed that maybe she didn't like her lines, but that she didn't get upsetand kept painting. Next they visited Connecting Cultures A World in

Brooklyn, where they saw an exhibit of 25 different pitchers. Theydiscussed the similarities and differences of the pitchers and how eachone is unique. The children then had the opportunity to make their ownpitchers out of model magic. When they returned to the classroom, theymade their own paintings inspired by Mickalene Thomas' work. Afterthe visit to the museum the teachers have noticed a big change in theclassroom. The children are much more willing to attempt new things

without the fear of failing.
