Gratitude - The Ability to Recognize Blessings in Our Life
- Allow me to recount for you what happened to us one night recently...We were headed into the city to see a show. We got a late start. Our hamster was very sick, and it looked like he would die at any moment. We drove our car to the parking lot near the Mineola train station, and when we went to pay for the spot discovered that you could no longer use a credit card to do so - you had to download an app. It took several tries and a lot of grumbling to find a password that would work. We had to run to catch the train and made it in only as the doors closed. We only had time for a quick bite before the show began. We went into a pizza joint and they served us cold food. When we got to the theater, the elevator to get to our seats wasn’t working, so we had to climb up the stairs. On the way home from the show, we had a flat tire and had to wait 45 minutes for AAA to come to help us out...OY!
- Now allow me to recount for you, again but differently, what happened to us on that same night...We headed into the city to see a show. We got a late start. Our hamster was sick. Luckily, we were able to drive to the parking lot near the Mineola train station. We got there in time to download the parking app and make it on to a train that would get us to NYC in time. We even had enough time to grab a quick bite of food before the show. The show was wonderful, beautifully performed, and absorbing. After the show, we had a lovely walk back down to Penn Station. On the way home from the Mineola station, we had a flat tire. However, fortunately AAA was able to come help us. We realized how lucky we were that the flat happened near home - had we driven into the city instead of taking the train, things could have been much worse. WOW - What a wonderful night!
- I have just told you two versions of the same evening; one filled with complaints and the other with gratitude. Both are equally true, and yet they feel very different.
- One of the main teachings of the Jewish faith is gratitude - the ability to recognize blessings in our life. The musar term for gratitude is “hakarat hatov,” which literally means “becoming aware of the good”.
- Gratitude is a choice. We all have good and bad things that happen to us throughout our days, yet we can choose what we focus on. If we only see the bad, we will feel dejected and despairing. If we train ourselves to see the good, then our hearts will open and blessings will abound.
- Gratitude is a muscle. And like all muscles, it can be exercised and developed in order to grow strong. Judaism gives us ways to develop our hakarat hatov muscle. We can start with the morning prayer “Modah ani lifanekha…” This prayer, traditionally recited even before you get out of bed each morning, gives thanks for the gift of life itself. I try to say it every morning. When I do, it sets the tone for the rest of the day.
- Another Jewish practice to help build a gratitude muscle is this: recite one hundred blessings a day. That is, as you go through your day, actively search out one hundred different things that are blessings in your life. Once you find them, notice and appreciate them, and then offer a prayer of thanksgiving for them. This practice helps you become more aware of what surrounds you; it keeps you from taking it all for granted.
- One hundred is a big number and may be out of reach for many of us. However, we can achieve some of the same effect by setting a lower number. Try ten for starters and see if you can build from there.
In this season of Thanksgiving, let’s all work to appreciate the goodness that surrounds us….not only at Thanksgiving, but every day of our lives.
we rejoiced with gratitude with our family, friends, neighbors & community!
Temple President ~ lisa lupo
We Are a Community of Volunteers and Together We are Strong
- As I write this article, I just attended the last of our High Holiday Services – Simchat Torah. At Erev Simchat Torah we ate pizza, danced with the Torah, and consecrated seven new religious school students. It felt wonderful to join together as community for a meal in our building for the first time in over two years and to welcome our new religious school families to the congregation. I am looking forward to re-introducing Family Shabbat Dinners in January.
- While not in our sanctuary, it felt great to hold High Holiday Services in our building. It took a village, but I would like to thank the people whose behind-the-scenes work made it all come together: Jay Beber – our computer expert, cameraman, and all-around tech-guru. Jay also designed and donated the amazing flame banner that brought a little bit of our sanctuary into the Beber Auditorium. • David Peskin – our sound technician extraordinaire; whose expertise, dedication, and focus on the details ensured that we all clearly heard the words and beautiful music of our clergy and choir. • Sue Mosten – who took on the responsibility of overall planning and coordination of our High Holiday Events, and Sue and Janet Spool for taking charge of our reservations. • The numerous other volunteers - who sang in our choir or served as ushers and bimah officers and manned our front desk for these services.
- As we move into November our thoughts turn to Thanksgiving and gratitude. I am grateful for my wide circle of friends and family. I am grateful that my children are happily married and settled in their lives, and that I have a granddaughter who I can’t believe will turn one this month.
- I am grateful for my Temple family, and that we have remained strong through the twin disasters of Covid-19 and Hurricane Ida.
- With so much going on in the world today, I am grateful to have grown up middle class in America and that I never felt the pangs of real hunger or deprivation. I am grateful to have been a child before the internet and social media, and to know the joys of unorganized, spontaneous play with the kids on my block.
There is much to be thankful for. Let’s all carve some time out this month and think about what we are grateful for. Wishing everyone a happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.

mazel tov to quincy ford!
- Hi, my name is Quincy Ford. I am excited to celebrate my Bar Mitzvah with my family and friends on Saturday, November 5th. I live with my parents and younger sister. I will be graduating middle school this year. I enjoy acting and participating in the theater productions at my school.
- Despite the pandemic and its restrictions, I was still able to complete my Mitzvah Project by helping one of the Kindergarten teachers within the school. I assisted the teacher with organizing and preparing classwork and homework for the students. In this way, I was able to stay safe and help others at the same time. I continue to volunteer for the reward of helping others without expecting anything in return. The act itself is the best gift to me.
TIKVAH TOTS
Two Meaningful Ways We Can Connect to Express Gratitude: Saying Thank-you & Discovering the Joy of Literature
- Gratitude…it’s a big word, yet its very essence seems to come naturally to the youngest members of the Jewish community. Tots tend to be inclined to give the best thank yous because they do it with their whole being. Little ones do not simply utter the words “thank you,” but rather they embrace you with the strongest hugs, give the sweetest kisses, hand you an adorable picture or offer to lend a helping hand. They seem to understand the notion that words are great, but actions are even better. They notice all that we, as the important grown-ups in their lives do for them and in turn, they do all that they can to please us.
- This month, we will take some time to thank our grandparents at our November 12th Grandparents Tikvah Tots Event at 10:30am for playing a special part in our lives. Please join us as sometimes spending time together can be the greatest ‘thank you’ one can receive.
- Also, if you haven’t signed up yet, please go to https://pjlibrary.org/home by clicking on the LINK below and get the gift of a story each month in the mail. Just the other day, I got an email letting me know that my youngest daughter has aged out of the program and will be receiving her final book shortly. I was so sad and could not process that our time with PJ Library was coming to an end, however I paused and realized just how grateful I was to receive so many wonderful books that sparked great conversations, deep thinking, and a wonderful connection to Judaism.
May you be just as blessed as our family, as there is nothing that sparks more gratitude in our household than a great book! ~ Thank you!

Come Join the Temple Tikvah Choir!
We Would Love to Increase Our Membership ~ Larry Konstan ~
- About eight years ago my wife, Gloria and I were looking for a new temple. Our friends recommended Temple Tikvah. We tried it and were very pleased.
- We listened to who we thought were the Rabbi and the Cantor; not knowing we were really listening to Danielle Weisbrot and Charla Schnupp, who were wonderful. We were sold on Temple Tikvah. We learned a bit later, that Danielle and Charla were lay members subbing for Rabbi Randy and Cantor Bonné, our former Cantor. In fact, Danielle and Charla were members of the Temple Tikvah Choir.
- As we began to attend services regularly, we fell in love with the all-female choir. The members sang so well together that we made sure to attend their once monthly service, even if we missed others. So, in 2014 we joined Temple Tikvah largely, because of how much we enjoyed Choir.
- In 2014 I was singing baritone with the Huntington Men’s Chorus. That group rehearsed every Wednesday evening. I had been with them since 1983 performing three concerts a year.
- I later learned, when in 2015, I was invited to join the Tikvah Choir by a choir member, that men could be part of the choir and in fact had been members in prior years. It would be a difficult choice for me as both groups met on Wednesday evenings. It took me a year to decide that the Hebrew music performed each month was where I wanted to be. I would be able to sing tenor and that was a plus. Fortunately, I was able to convince my friend, Joe Massey (we both sang in our prior temple) to join as well. He was and is a wonderful Basso. This began a new and fabulous period for me of Temple life.
- Singing the music is uplifting and provides a spiritual joy to us as choir members, as well as to the congregation. The Choir members look forward to weekly rehearsals, and the congregation has let us know of their joy in listening to monthly choir services, especially our singing during the High Holidays.
- Right now, the choir is led by Cantor Leslie Friedlander and Accompanist Yury Gabay. We have two Sopranos, three Altos, one Tenor (that’s me) and two Basses. Unfortunately, not all of us can be available for every monthly service.
- That is where you come in! We need a few more members that want to sing and can be available for rehearsals and the monthly services. You do not have to be a soloist; just someone who loves music, can carry a tune, and stays on key.
Ladies and gentlemen - take a chance and try your voice with the choir. It could be one of the best decisions you make.
sisterhood
Sisterhood Spreads Kindness to Our Temple Community and Beyond
- This month’s theme of kindness and giving is what Sisterhood is all about. We are a strong group of dedicated women that serve Temple’s needs both socially and financially. All our fundraising goes directly to Temple Tikvah to help in any way we can. More importantly, we are there for each other in good times and sad times. We support Temple with our Simchagrams and donations to several Temple Funds. Security, the roof, religious school, and Temple operating costs are all on Sisterhood’s Giving List. We also donate to several worthwhile charities including MS and Breast Cancer. For more information to learn about these causes, to volunteer to work with them or to make a donation, please click on one of the LINKS below. Temple Tikvah Sisterhood has always been active in tikun olam, making this world a better place. We also are working to make the people in our community feel connected to a special group that is here to help in whatever ways we can. Whether it’s receiving a call or a card, zooming in at a meeting, participating in a fundraiser activity or hopefully getting together in person for an event, we want you to know we appreciate you! Please let us know when you are up to the challenge of volunteering and bringing positive ideas to our group.
- This month look for an interesting November event in the Weekly Update. We are gearing up for more in-person events to come. Thanks to Sandy Peskin for heading up this year’s Making Strides Walk for Breast Cancer. The Temple Tikvah Sisterhood Team was well represented and all who participated had a good time for a great cause.
As the New Year unfolds, let’s remember to be kind to each other and to be thankful for all we have. As my mother always said, ”Treat all people as you would like to be treated.” The world will be a better place. Imagine that!
social action
Gratitude + Opportunities + Being Proactive = Positive Outcomes, Feeling Good, and A Sense of Hope
- Hakarat hatov is the Hebrew word for gratitude or recognizing the good, and the month of November is also when Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Therefore, it is a good opportunity to reflect on and rejoice in what we have, as well as the ways we are fortunate. What are you thankful for today? This year?
- No one lives alone and we all depend on the goodwill of others. How do we turn our sense of gratitude into actions that benefit others? Jewish traditions include daily prayers of thanks and blessings for what we become conscious of and appreciate. Gratitude is even more effective when we think specifically, rather than in general of the parts of our lives that we are grateful for. For example, during the past year or two most of us have struggled with COVID-19 touching our lives or those we love. Perhaps we are grateful for ways we are healthy or ways our community has supported us. Our Temple was flooded, yet we were fortunate to receive funds from FEMA that enabled us to return to the building for High Holiday Services if we chose; more importantly, our congregation managed to support each other through these challenging circumstances. Perhaps you donated non-perishable food to the Sid Jacobson JCC Food Bank in one of the two bins provided (at Temple and at religious school) through October. Gratitude provides positive outcomes: it deepens our relations with each other, makes us feel better, and facilitates feeling hopeful. Noticing each day what we have to appreciate and not taking any of it for granted, builds our sense of gratitude.
- We hope you were able to attend last month’s Social Action Shabbat. We listened to an informative presentation about the environment and upcoming NYS environmental bond act by Kate Kurera, the Deputy Director of Environmental Advocates NY. For more information about what she shared with us and related topics you can visit https://eany.org; https://rac.org/take-action/rac-your-state/rac-ny; or https://voteyescleanwaterandjobs.com/ by clicking on any of the LINKS below.
- Lastly, we would like to remind you: ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 8th 2022. The LINK below will provide you with Poll Site Search, Voter Registration, and Absentee Ballot Tracker information. Please remember: EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
We hope November raises your awareness of the many sources of gratitude in your life and encourages you to turn that gratitude into actions that benefit others as well as yourself. Come join the Social Action Committee for its Sunday, November 13th Meeting at 10:30am and increase your opportunities to recognize the good and rejoice with us!
brotherhood
Happy November to All! Is it really November? Wasn’t it just Labor Day?
- Anyway, Comradery...what a great word...A word that describes me to a tee. Not to mention that I am reminded how grateful I am for it!
- Within our own family, you know we are always involved as much as we can with our two sons, 2 daughters-in-laws and 2 grandchildren. As they say, grandchildren are the best and they really are! What a comfort and joy it is seeing our boys have families of their own and basking in family love.
- Outside of family...my work with the Temple and Brotherhood, also gives me a sense of well-being and goodwill. Some of our Brotherhood Members are like extended family. If it’s not a Friday night or monthly Brotherhood Meeting or an event, it is always great seeing the boys, with and without their families. Brotherhood has kept a group of people together for the same cause.
- My Wednesday Walking Club is another group I enjoy meeting each week. Presently, we are mostly a group of non-Temple members although it did start as a small group of Temple Members. Our roster of walkers is now close to 50! Each week I choose a different park to walk in and participants choose to walk if available. Our goal is to have fun together and smile for our weekly Facebook pictures.
- And of course, my On The Marc Sports Talk - a Weekly Zoom Podcast for over 2 ½ years where we talk sports for almost 2 hours each week is my way of bringing sports lovers together.
- These groups - my family, Temple, Brotherhood, my Wednesday Walking Group, and On the Marc Sports Talk enable me to embrace my family with awe and love, feel appreciation for and deepen my roots to my community through my faith, and socialize with wonderful people that I am proud to call my friends; all of which enhances my life...Comradery & Gratitude!
On Friday, November 25th our tradition of Black Friday Free Challah for Brotherhood Members-Only will continue. Please check your email box for more information. • Brotherhood’s next Fundraiser is on Tuesday, November 8th at Panera Bread on Jericho Turnpike and Herricks Road from 4:00pm - 8:00pm. EVERY TEMPLE MEMBER is welcome! Please bring the flyer that is in the Weekly Updates or a picture of it and enjoy some dinner, while 20% of your bill will be donated to Brotherhood, either before or after you VOTE.

"IF YOU CONCENTRATE ON FINDING WHATEVER IS GOOD IN EVERY SITUATION, YOU WILL DISCOVER YOUR LIFE WILL SUDDENLY BE FILLED WITH GRATITUDE, A FEELING THAT NURTURES THE SOUL." Rabbi Harold Kushner
- Referring to an article read several years ago by Rabbi Bonnie Margulis, we again present some thoughts on how to bring Judaism into Thanksgiving and remembering how thankful/grateful we are for what we have. Many believe that when the Pilgrims wanted to celebrate the fall harvest, they looked to the Hebrew bible for inspiration and to the holiday of Sukkot as their model for the first Thanksgiving. There are many ways we can incorporate Jewish ideas and rituals in our Thanksgiving celebration. We can say HaMotzi, the blessing over bread at the beginning of the meal and the Birkat Hamazon, the blessing at the end of the meal; giving thanks for the bounty of the earth is a very Jewish thing to do, as is spending some time during the meal talking about the things we are grateful for in our lives. It is also an excellent time to focus on the Jewish value of tzedakah, as many people take time to help those less fortunate by volunteering at food banks, soup kitchens, running food drives, and providing funds for organizations that fight hunger year round. May we suggest one of the following organizations below:
- Thanksgiving is another time during the year to pause and reflect on what we are grateful for...In Gratitude we acknowledge the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. We are thankful for their many sacrificial acts on behalf of our great nation. Bless each of these men and women. Grant to each of them good health, loving families, and abiding faith in You, O God. AMEN

LIFELONG LEARNING
Gratitude: Freedom to Practice Our Faith as We Choose To
- Lifelong Learning: The New Jew is a four-episode Israeli TV documentary, showcasing the cultural and political influence of the Jewish community in the United States, the variety of alternative models it offers for living a rich Jewish life, and the intricate relations between them and the State of Israel. The message of the series is that in America every Jew is a Jew-by-choice. The series is produced by the Public Broadcasting Corporation and the documentary is presented by one of Israel’s most popular comedians, Guri Alfi. (For an interesting perspective of this documentary you might like to read: ‘The New Jew’ shows Israelis how Judaism works in the U.S. by Rabbi Leon Morris, Rabbi Josh Weinberg / June 22, 2021 at https://jweekly.com/2021/06/22/the-new-jew-shows-israelis-how-judaism-works-in-the-u-s/) by clicking on the LINK below.
- For the next 4 Lunch & Learn Events we will be screening and discussing each of these episodes in partnership with the Congregation in Shoam Israel with Rabbi Rinat Sefania. Kehillat Shoam is our Sister Congregation in Israel to whom we donated a Sefer Torah. We will meet at noon on Saturday, November 12th for the first installment. Details will follow in the Weekly Updates.
- Torah Study: Torah Study continues as always on Saturday mornings at 9:00am with Rabbi Sheinberg on ZOOM and in-person at Temple Tikvah.
As John F. Kennedy said, “As we express gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live them.”
