Rabbis MessageGiving Thanks as Jews and AmericansThis year we have a wonderful confluence of two of the greatest holidays of our year.

As Jews, we celebrate Chanukah; as Americans, Thanksgiving. The first light of the me-norah is kindled on what some of us fondly call "Erev Thanksgiving," Wednesday eve-

ning. Then Thursday is both Thanksgiving Day and the first day of Chanukah.

We American Jews are always so concerned with the overwhelming onslaught of theChristmas season that we tend to play up Chanukah as the Jewish answer to Christmas,

complete with presents, decorations, and all kinds of hoopla. And, on a primitive level,the connection between the festivities of Christmas and the celebration of Chanukah is

easy to see. They both fall at the darkest, coldest time of the year, the time of the wintersolstice. It's no wonder that Chanukah as "The Festival of Lights" and Christmas with

some of its traditions rooted in fire festivals, hold such appeal. And just in case we for-get our history at any given moment, we can remember that just as Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of De-

cember, so too is Chanukah celebrated on the 25th - of Kislev, that is. It just happens to fall unusually early

this year.

But in fact, Chanukah really has no religious or historic parallels with Christmas at all. But Thanksgiving -

now that's another story! The Festival of Chanukah grows out of our remembrance of the great military vic-tory of Judah the Maccabee and his army over the tyrannical Syrian King Antiochus IV and his armies. In 167

BCE, Antiochus imposed a ban on the observance of Jewish religion and custom in Judea, which Syria con-trolled. Then his army plundered the Temple in Jerusalem, erecting statues of Zeus, and polluting the oil in

the lamps with the fat of swine. But in 165, Judah the Maccabee and the Jewish army defeated the Syrianforces, and recaptured the Temple. They held a festival to rededicate the Temple to the God of Israel.

(Chanukah means "dedication.") As a model for their celebration the Maccabees used the Biblical Festival ofSukkot, which lasts for eight days. Many say that the symbols of Thanksgiving are also reminiscent of those

of Sukkot, particularly the fruits and vegetables of the seasonal harvest. But of course, Thanksgiving only

lasts one day, and not eight.What is clear is that Chanukah, at its core, is a celebration of freedom - freedom to live as Jews, and worshipthe living God of Israel. Thus the parallel with Thanksgiving is clear. Thanksgiving is a holiday that we all

celebrate as Americans, to give thanks for the harvest we enjoy, and remember our obligation to share it withothers. But we also celebrate as Americans of all faiths and creeds, to give thanks for our freedom to live ac-

cording to the dictates of our individual consciences and religious traditions, without the intrusion or coercionof our government, or any powers other than our own rational faculties. We remember that the Pilgrims came

to these shores seeking religious freedom. So did the Jews, and so did many of those who have found their

way to America. And that is still the case to this day.

So this year we will have a doublesimcha - our celebrations as Americans and as Jews will coincide. If I may,

I would advise that all of us mingle our prayers this year. As we light the menorah and sing our blessings withfamily and friends, let's also offer prayers of thanksgiving for the promise and fulfillment of America, and

strengthen our resolve to be vigilant in protecting our freedom to live according to the dictates of our heartsand minds. And as we enjoy some chocolate gelt, a meaningful donation to a food bank or similar recipient

would also be very much in order.

Chag Urim Sameach (A joyous "Festival of Lights") - Happy Chanukah to all. And to all, a Happy Thanksgiv-

ing.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

If you glance at the calendar on the inside back page of this bulletin, you should notice the numerous events

and activities we have here at Union Temple. Social, religious, literary, educational, musical (even comedic)

we offer a full schedule. Starting this month, every Friday night will have a special attraction attached to the

service. As usual, the first Friday will include a family Shabbat followed by a potluck dinner. The second will

be held in the Sanctuary with pizza and salad served afterward in the lobby. Friday number three will feature a

musical program, and the fourth dinner followed by a guest speaker. These events do not run themselves

we have a dedicated group of volunteers and a paid staff janitorial, office, security, bookkeeping, and ad-

ministrative. Effectively we function like any other business even though we are a not-for-profit entity all

for a membership of 168 units (family or single). Our goal is to bring this number up to the 300 range over the

next two to three years. Imagine each family or individual finding just one new memberand were over the

top. To this end, we

have a small perk for

anyone finding a new

recruit a golden lapel

pin saying, I GOT AMEMBER below the

temple logo will be pre-

sented with appropriate

fanfare at a Friday night

service. Bring a friend

to a Brotherhood break-

fast, a Sisterhood book

discussion, or any so-

cial gathering with the

aim of making our

membership escalate.

As long as we are run-

ning a business, lets do

it for a multitude. When

God gave Moses one

tablet with five com-

mandments, Moses was

not satisfied. He said,

how much is this tablet

and God replied, free.

Moses said, Ill taketwo. That is how we

doubled our command-

ments to ten. So let us

redouble our efforts to

push membership to 336.

Its November, time to start thinking about turkey, pumpkin pie and... latkes? Yes, latkes! This year, Chanukah

begins erev Thanksgiving, so as the sun goes down after we have polished off that big family dinner, it will be

time to begin another family celebration and to light the second candle in our menorah. How wonderful it is to

be surrounded by family for these two concurrent joyous celebrations. Here at Union Temple we think of Sis-

terhood as a family too: We get together for our Rosh Chodesh Seders to celebrate our roles as Jewish women;

we have thought-provoking programs where we broaden our horizons, and lively discussions where we open

our hearts to one another. And, like any family, we laugh and eat and just enjoy the warmth of being together.

At the same time, we are sharing our mission of tikkun olam, repairing our world. As our membership grows,

so too does our contribution to our national organization, Women of Reform Judaism, and its many excep-

tional programs. Like every family celebrating Thanksgiving and Chanukah, we are thankful for all thatand

for the blessing of our warm and caring members who make it possible.

Before you start writing your Thanksgiving

and Chanukah shopping lists, though, take

your pen and make a big circle around Sun-day, November 3rd. Be sure to join Sister-

hood at 10 AM that morning for a very spe-

cial Rosh Chodesh Kislev as we pay tribute

to Women of the Wall on their twenty-fifth

anniversary. Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

will bring us up to date on the progress

these courageous women have made for all

of us as they pray aloud at the Kotel.

Then, not long after you have finished your

Thanksgiving leftovers and eaten the last of

the Chanukah latkes, join Sisterhood and

Brotherhood on Saturday evening, Decem-

ber 7th at 5 PM., for our annual Havdalah

service. As in the past, this moving event

will be followed by a visit to the Brooklyn

Museum to participate in its festive First

Night activities. Its an exhilarating evening

that you wont want to miss.

Sisterhood wishes everyone a happyThanksgiving and a joyful Chanukah. May

our hearts, our homes, and our lives be

filled with blessingsand may the glow

from our menorahs light the path to peace

in our world.

The phase-in period has ended and we are settling into

school. We will be focusing on two major school-widecurriculum units in November. The first unit will be our

ever popular annual chick hatching project. A farmerwill be visiting us on October 15th and delivering 12 fer-

tilized eggs. On October 24th he will return to pick-upthe hatchlings and return them to the farm. The follow-

ing week we will embark on our first ever harvest festi-val. Here is a taste of what is going on in our class-

rooms.

The Chickadees, Montana Vasquez-Grinnell's twos

class, have just completed their phase-in, and we are soproud of their smooth adjustment to all the new things

happening around them. Now that they are settled

in their personalities are really emerging through eachnew activity introduced to them.

The Chickadees will discuss farm animals, chicks and

fall. When the farmer brings the eggs, they will begina series of art projects related to the growth of the

chicks from egg to chick to chicken.

The Robins, Tomomi Iwamoto's older twos/younger

threes class are learning about daily routines. So far

they are great stopping at the bell when it's time fortransitions. They learned to clean their hands before

snack with wipes, tidy up when snack is done and pushin their chairs when finished (with reminders!).

The children are really enjoying dramatic play. Theyhave been surrounded by firefighters, police officers

and doctors every morning! Many of the "doctors"

were trying to make the baby dolls and teachers well.

Alex Beers' Sparrows have settled in to their newclassroom and the many rules and routines of the

threes class. They are quickly learning to share, wait,and listen to one another. "Can I play with you?" and

"Hey, we can read this together!" are often heard bythese budding socialites. The Sparrows eagerly await

the arrival of the farmer and eggs, and are readingbooks such as Hurry Hurry Hurry, about a farm full of

animals rushing to witness the arrival of the newestbaby chicks. This focus helps children with the inevita-

bly murky waters of separation from home and learn-ing to live together in harmony during school hours.

Many Sparrows are also busy learning Spanish fromRose, their new Monday/Wednesday afternoon Span-

ish teacher. The Sparrows find hermuy bien.

The Puffins, Caitlin Mullin's fours class, have beensettling into their new environment and adjusting to therules and routines of the classroom quite well. The

Puffins are exploring emotions and learning how toexpress their feelings with their peers. They have been

reading books like, The Way I Feel by Janan Cain tohelp them better understand different feelings. The

Puffins made their own emotions books by illustratingpictures and dictating what makes them feel shy, happy

and sad. They also practice some role-playing activi-ties to help them better understand what types of situa-

tions make us feel different emotions. The Puffins alsoenjoy their afternoon Spanish classes with Rose.

The Hummingbirds, Pam Apple's fours class, are busyworking on their social/emotional curriculum. The

children made books about their families and booksexploring the themes of how they feel when they get

angry and what makes them happy. They talked aboutfriendships and what it means to play with a

SOCIAL ACTION FORUM

YOM KIPPPUR 2013

During the annual Social Action Forum on Yom Kip-

pur afternoon, we discussed Immigration Reform legis-lation in Congress. Participating in the program were

Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman, Howard Katzman,

Carolyn Kubitschek and Jeff Stein. Many thanks to all

the presenters. Our conclusion is that the US Senate

has passed a good immigration reform bill, S 744, but

the matter is tied up in the House of Representatives.

Since most of the NY House delegation supports the

Senate Bill, we strongly recommend that members

of our congregation should consider participating in

programs to assist applicants with immigration ques-tions and applications. We have identified such a pro-

gram in the City University of New York's CUNY

CITIZENSHIP NOW Volunteer Corps. This excel-

lent effort is supported by the US Citizenship and

Immigration Services (USCIS). CUNY CITIZEN-

SHIP NOW trains volunteers to provide counseling

and other needed immigration law assistance to a

wide population of immigrants. For additional infor-

mation on the web, please Google CUNY Citizen-

ship Now. To apply for training for the Volunteer

Corps, contact Stina Rosenquist at 646 652 7339 or

call Zeva Roschko at 718 783 7232.

UNION TEMPLE'S SOCIAL

ADVOCACY EFFORTS

The Social Action Committee of Union Temple coor-

dinates its work with the Reform Movement's Reli-

gious Action Center in Washington and with the Re-

form Jewish Voice of New York State. We urge you

to check their websites regularly for information about

priority issues and suggestions on how you can partici-pate in advancing reform Jewish values and positions

nationally and locally. (You can find URJ Religious

Action Center at rac.org and Reform Jewish Voice of

NYS at rjvnys.org and ask to be put on their email

contact list). Current priority issues include gun vio-

lence, poverty, LGBT equality, immigration and repro-

ductive rights.

Each year the RJV of NYS conducts an advocacy

day in Albany on the first Monday in May , at which

Rabbi Goodman and congregants travel to Albany to

visit with legislators and their staff to advocate for

progressive social and economic policies on the statelevel. For the past two years Patrika and Howard

Katzman have joined Rabbi Goodman on the trip to

Albany and together with Reform Jewish clergy and

congregants from all over N Y State to give voice to

our movement's advocacy goals in the State Capitol.

So mark your calendars for May 5, 2014

ANNUAL PRE-THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

Every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, Un-

ion Temple volunteers gather at Key Food on Seventh

Avenue from 10 AM to 2 PM to ask Key Food cus-tomers for food donations. Our efforts are coordi-

nated by Jane Becker Field, Andy Mirer and Beth

Kurfirst. To add to the spirit of the occasion, children

and parents from our Religious School take part.

Please respond the Social Action Committee's Email

request and help make this day a success. Our friends

and neighbors at the CHIPS Food Kitchen are very

grateful for our help.

-Marvin Lieberman and Zeva Roschko, Co-Chairs

friend. They discussed the skills one employs whenplaying with a friend and how it is different

than playing alone. In addition to the social/emotional curriculum they have also talked

about how "Hummingbirds try everything and that"everyone makes mistakes." They are learning that it

is important to attempt all activities and that the out-come is not the most important thing. The children

have also made wonderful self-portraits which theydo three times throughout the year to see how their

drawing skills progress. The Hummingbirds are also

learning Spanish.

As we focus on fall and the chicks we are alreadyplanning for Chanukah. The autumn season will be

filled with lots of celebrations.

Prayer for Thanksgiving Day

Creative Source of all being, from You come our blessings from day to day and from year to year. The towering

mountains and the shadowed forests, the abundant streams and the fruitful earth are your gift to us. May we preserve

this gift for our children, that they, too, may give thanks for the blessings that will be theirs.

For this land so richly blessed, we raise our voice in thanks. Your children have come to these shores from many

lands in quest of liberty and new life. Many have been pilgrims to this western world. Here they found a safe haven,

soil on which to prosper, and the opportunity to outgrow old fears and superstitions. For our country, for its free-dom promised, attained, and yet to be enlarged, for the richness of its natural blessings, and for a growing harmony

that we pray will ever increase among its citizens, we give thanks.

God of justice and right, inspire all who dwell in our land with loyalty to the ideals of its founders. Give us wisdom

and strength to labor for its well-being, on the firm foundation of justice and truth. Fill us with the spirit of kindness,

generosity, and peace, that this land may be a beacon-light to many peoples.

, ,.

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech haolam, hamotzi lechem min haaretz.

Blessed are You, Eternal our God, who brings forth bread from the earth.
