A Time of New Beginnings
- Many years, Rosh Hashanah comes at the beginning of September. It is a busy time - the summer pool closes, the new school year begins, and the whole world seems to make the transition from summer to fall. It is a time of new beginnings, and Rosh HaShanah as the beginning of the new Jewish year fits right in.
- Yet not this year. This year, Rosh HaShanah comes not at the beginning of September, but at its end. By the time the High Holy Days come around, the rhythm of the fall calendar is already in full swing. It seems like the Jewish festival is “late,” it’s out of synch.
- I do not think that this schedule is out of synch at all. Indeed, I think that the end of September is a more appropriate time to begin the Jewish new year than is the start of September. You see, the new Jewish year technically begins with the festival of Rosh HaShanah. However, it actually begins a month before that - with the Hebrew month of Elul, the season of preparation.
- When Rosh HaShanah falls at the beginning of September, we naturally focus on the rituals and traditions of the holiday itself - what foods we will prepare, who we will share the day with, our own unique family customs. Yet when Rosh HaShanah falls later in the secular year, we have the opportunity to focus not only on the High Holy Days themselves, but on the rituals and customs of preparation for the holidays.
- How do we prepare for a new Jewish year? Our tradition offers us several suggestions: WAKE UP ~ In some Jewish communities, throughout the month of Elul, just after the daily morning prayers are recited, the shofar is sounded. Every day for a full month before Rosh HaShanah there is the opportunity to hear the “alarm clock” of the season. The shofar reminds us that the time for repentance is now. It serves as a kind of countdown clock to urge us to do the serious introspection we must do if we are to make teshuvah before the gates of the season close...Although we do not sound the shofar at Temple Tikvah until Slichot (a week before Rosh HaShanah,) you can take on the practice of hearing it. Perhaps find a recording on the web and play it for yourself every morning or by selecting a different ring tone for your own alarm clock for this season as a way to remind you to wake up to the task ahead. • DIG DEEP ~ In order to prepare for the new year, we are invited to take stock of where we are in our lives so that we can best prepare for the work of atonement and forgiveness that the season demands of us. This process, known as heshbon hanefesh (literally “reckoning of the soul”) requires concentration and attention...Elul is a great time to rekindle a personal meditation or prayer practice. Find a quiet spot in your home and set up a place where you can simply sit for a few moments each day. This year, to kick off the month of Elul, we will take a meditative walk in the woods together, in a ritual inspired by the Japanese concept of shinrin yoku or “forest bathing.” Come join us or find your own time to be in nature and simply pay attention to the world around you, allowing it to calm your mind and awaken your attention...DWELL WITH GOD ~ One common practice for the month of Elul is to read Psalm 27. The psalm contains words that echo through the High Holy Day liturgy:
One thing I ask of God, only this do I request; that I may dwell in God's house all the days of my life..."
- My friend and colleague, Rabbi Debra Robbins has written a wonderful book that helps you engage with this psalm: Opening Your Heart With Psalm 27: A Spiritual Practice for the Jewish New Year. Here is a link to a video in which she describes how to use the book and the psalm as a guide for reflection throughout the month of Elul: https://vimeo.com/446916290
May you have a good month of preparation, and may you be blessed with a year of sweetness, health & joy!
Temple President ~ lisa lupo
L’Shanah Tovah
- It has been a good summer. I didn’t take any major trips. I had a few nice weekends away, spent time at the beach, attended some lovely backyard barbecues and of course, spent a lot of time playing with my now nine-month-old granddaughter, Annie.
- This summer, we were thrilled to return to our building for Friday Night Shabbat Services and committee meetings. Admittedly, the Beber Auditorium is not our beautiful sanctuary, yet there is a lot to be said about being in our own space with our own Temple family.
- Things at Temple have seemingly been quiet as most of our committees were on hiatus for the summer. However, behind the scenes our Religious Affairs Committee led by Sue Mosten, the Executive Committee, and Rabbi Sheinberg have been busy planning for the High Holidays.
- We will hold High Holiday Services in the Beber Auditorium this year. I would be ecstatic if we could hold services in our sanctuary, but unfortunately it will not be ready in time. However, after consulting with many congregants, the desire to be in our own space is overwhelming.
- Therefore we will have to make some concessions in terms of the number of people that can attend each service in-person. So we are making other adjustments to our services, so that no matter how many services you are able to attend in-person, each will be an uplifting spiritual experience. And of course, everyone can attend all services virtually. Please be sure to make your in-person High Holidays Reservations early so our reservations team has plenty of time to prepare.
- As a child I did not belong to a congregation. With two daughters, my father was not concerned about B-Mitzvah (he grew up orthodox,) so why spend the money? Yet we still kept a kosher home and my sister and I had to dress up to mostly sit around, and later in the day visit family. It was Judaism by osmosis.
- Today, being with my Temple Family, regardless of how or where is very important to me. It will be extra sweet this year as we celebrate in-person in our space for the first time since 2019.
Wishing Everyone a Happy and Healthy 5783
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
Education Director
Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!
- I hope everyone’s summer was filled with fun, family, and friendship. There will be three themes in Religious School this year: Torah (stories that connect to our lives,) Avodah (meaning and value through work, worship, and service,) and Gemilut Chasidim (acts of loving kindness.)
- We will also continue with individual Hebrew tutoring for all students and our weekly “special” activities: Rabbi, music, crafts, holiday-based themes, and book club.
- We want to thank Shelter Rock Jewish Center for continuing to open its doors to us as we work on reconstructing our building. I look forward to the near future where we can return to hosting Religious School in our own space.
As Always, We Welcome Your Support & Participation in our Religious School Committee and Family Programs
A Warm Welcome to April Heron & Julie O’Donnell as our new Religious School Committee Co-chairs and Introducing Our Staff & Madrichim
April Heron - Religious School Co-Chair

As a member of Temple Tikvah since 2018, April has served on the Cantor Search Committee, the Religious School Committee, and the Nominating Committee. Her son, Jeremy is going into the 5th grade at Mineola Middle School. April has been an educator for over 25 years and is currently teaching theatre in Queens. She is very devoted to education and this congregation. As an educator and parent, she is honored to actively participate in this wonderful religious school community.
Julie O’Donnell – Religious School Co-Chair
- Julie Steiner O’Donnell is honored to co-chair the Religious School Committee this year. As a member of Temple Tikvah since 2017, Julie has been a member of the Religious School, Cantor Liaison Committees, and has served on the Board of Trustees since 2021. Her daughter, Hope is in the 5th grade at Center Street Elementary School in the Herricks School District. Julie is an appellate attorney in New York City and strongly believes in a robust academic environment for all children.
Sharon Fricano - Educational Director-
- This is my 34th year at Temple! I still try to diversify our school curriculum and add new programs. I have two grown children, Matthew a doctor in Ohio and Debra, an Educational Director at SAJ in Manhattan. In my spare time I do paint by number pictures and 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles. Most of my puzzles have cats, as I live with my cat Ivy. In my next life I hope to come back as a veterinarian.
Tikva Mussafi
- My name is Tikva. I grew up in Israel served in the army. I came to America and worked as a recreation person for individuals with special needs. Upon my retirement, I started working in Temple Tikvah’s Religious School as a substitute teacher. Nowadays I am a Hebrew tutor and help students prepare for their B’nai Mitzvah. I find their successes very rewarding. Among other things I enjoy traveling, swimming, exercising, reading, and most of all spending time with my nieces and nephews and their families.
Suzanne Katz - Grades 2/3
Hi, my name is Suzanne Katz. I have been happily married to my husband, Michael for 27 years. My son, Daniel is 22 and my daughter, Lauren is 20. I have been at teaching at Temple Tikvah for 23 years! Some of my interests outside of teaching are doing jigsaw puzzles, taking long nature walks, and going to the pool and beach. I am so excited about our upcoming year with my new 2nd and 3rd grade class.
Ellianna Brandel - Grade 4
- Hi! My name is Ellianna Brandel and I am from West Hempstead, New York. I am entering my last year of undergraduate school studying Management and Marketing at the Sy Syms School of Business. I am so excited to be coming back as a teacher for the 4th grade students this year! In the past, I have been a weekly counselor in the youth groups at my shul on Shabbat, as well as a summer day camp counselor at Park East Synagogue for 2nd graders and up. I am looking forward to a great year of learning and seeing all of your familiar faces!
Yael Lubeck - Grade 5
- Hi everyone! My name is Yael and I am from Queens, New York. I have four siblings and enjoy spending time with them. I love to bake and cook with friends, and I like to paint and draw. I love working with kids and teaching them, it brings light to my life! I am excited to teach at Temple Tikvah this year.
Angela Homapour – Grades 6/7
- I love working with children. I have raised three of my own - ages 27, 24 and 21 and I am proud to admit that we are very close. The young, zestful minds of youngsters and their brilliant ideas allows me to combine those attributes with my life experiences in order to create a perfect conclusion. It often creates a situation that results in a positive, joyful discussion leading to growth or something to learn from on both ends. Having lived in three different countries I have grown to appreciate diversity and learn to get along with all kinds of backgrounds, races, ages, and culture. I speak four languages and I am able to communicate easily with different age groups. I have always been drawn to working with youngsters and was always told by my family that I should take on the challenge and do what I enjoy, spending time and teaching your children. As a CPA, I have learned to balance finances, but believe that with working with the children at a Hebrew school I will keep a strong balance in my life by pursuing my interest, working with kids. I am up and looking forward to this exciting challenge!
Ethan Moy
- My name is Ethan Moy and I am in the 9th grade at Great Neck South High School. My favorite in school and “outside” subjects are math and science. I have been interested in math for years and study things on my own. My favorite things (other than math and science) are programming, playing the cello, and my cat, Pepper.
Rebecca McCorey
- My name is Rebecca and I am 14 years old and I am in my freshman year of high school. I like music, engineering, biology, and world history. I have been part of the Temple Tikvah Community since I was seven years old and have been a madrichim at Temple Tikvah for the last year. Can’t wait to meet you!
Jared Wolfson
- Jared and his family have been a part of Temple Tikvah for as long as he could remember. Throughout his time as a student at Temple Tikvah, he has always had an interest in Judaic Studies and the idea of teaching others. During his free time, he plays a variety of sports such as basketball, tennis, pickle ball, and even skateboarding. Whenever he plays outside, he loves to engage his neighbors in playing sports and other athletic activities (even ultimate frisbee.) Jared cannot wait to engage with his year’s fifth graders while having fun at Hebrew School.
Alana Wolfson
- Alana has been a part of Temple Tikvah for over ten years as a student and a madrichim. She loves spending time at Temple and giving back to the community in any way she can. When not at Temple Tikvah, she is either conducting research or nurturing rescue animals at a local shelter. She has always had a passion for helping fur-babies and studying medicine. Moreover, during her free time she enjoys playing lots of tennis and volunteers at wheelchair sport conventions affiliated with the Wheelchair Sports Federation, as well as the Wounded Warrior Project. Being able to help guide people into driving ambitions fulfills Alana’s own personal ambition of simply helping others. Alana is extremely excited to be a part of the Temple Tikvah school community as the 6/7 madricha this year!
Kyle Soifer
- Hi everyone! My name is Kyle Soifer and I will be working with the 6/7th grade this upcoming year. I am very excited to be working with the children this year, as I always enjoy hearing their perspectives on certain topics we may discuss in class. The children are so bright, and it feels so rewarding to be able to teach them more about the Hebrew blessings, as well as the history of our religion. Some of my interests include digital design, listening to music, and bike riding. Can't wait to see everyone in September!
TIKVAH TOTS
L’Shana Tova U’Metukah – A Good and Sweet New Year!
- As August ends and September begins, families with young children usually have their minds focused on the start of the school year. September always naturally feels like the beginning of the year. As a teacher, I only think of the year in terms of September to June so isn’t it fitting that it also denotes the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah?
- Is it not also beautiful that as Reform Jews we can celebrate in whatever way choose for our unique families? Perhaps your family simply reads a special PJ Library Book, like Apples and Honey by Joan Holub or Rosh Hashanah is Coming by Tracy Newman. Maybe you enjoy dipping apples in honey and tasting the sweetness of what is to come this year. Perhaps you set aside time to spend with family or friends you do not usually get to see.
We certainly hope you decide to join Tikvah Tots for a story, craft, yummy treats, and the sound of the shofar in Temple Tikvah's Parking Lot on September 26th at 2:00pm. Be sure to R.S.V.P by clicking on the LINK below & go to the bottom of the page where it reads: "For more information on our Tikvah Tot Programs, please contact our temple office at tikvahtots@templetikvah.org," since the first 8 families will be given a free gift to start the new year!
Director of Youth & Family Engagement
Best Wishes to Everyone for a Sweet, Happy, Healthy & Safe 5783!
- As we begin a new year and reflect on the past, I want to begin by thanking everyone for all you have done to do to keep our Temple Tikvah Family together. 5782 was trying, yet we were able to have some in-person programs and reconnect. I am looking forward to the growing possibilities of having even more in-person events this year. This will include: Junior Congregation, which resumes on October 22nd; our teen programs which will begin taking place in the fall; as well as several youth events and Family Havdalah Services (the first one will take place on October 15th.) 5783 is going to filled with lots of opportunities to make memories and build friendships!
- It was so nice seeing so many families and congregants at our Family Bowling Event on Saturday, August 13th. Herrill Lanes truly lived up to their reputation of being a modern and family oriented place. We had a lot of spares, strikes, and fun!
- Upcoming Plans: We will have a crafts party in the parking lot on Sunday, September 18th immediately following Religious School & On Sunday, October 2nd we will be making Sukkot decorations.
B’ Shalom
A FUN Time Was Had by ALL in Our Spare Time!

SOCIAL ACTION
A Time to Rejoice & Contemplate
- Rosh Hashanah is the celebration of the birth of the world. We go to Temple to pray and wish happiness and health to all. We show affection to those close to us. We respect the individuals who are different from us, but part of the Jewish People. We dip apples into honey as a celebration of God’s gift of sweet joy. We enjoy the hope of a New Year filled with new opportunities as we have festive meals.
- The last few years have shown us how much we fail to love God’s work, because we reject the need to respect the world that God has given us. As we celebrate, let us define the Rosh Hashanah honey as a symbol of all the earth’s sweet gifts and how we can respect the earth’s role in our advanced industrial society.
- The recently passed United States Inflation Reduction Act can be a start to reducing the earth’s gas emissions 40% by 2030. There is a tax credit to encourage more investments in wind and solar power. There are policies that encourage clean energy and help to reduce the nation’s dependance on fossil fuels. May we pray for a cleaner environment and the better health it will bring during the ten days to Yom Kippur.
- When we end the Rosh Hashanah celebration, we face the ten days of memories and promises that can lead to the prayers for forgiveness on Yom Kippur. Let us make resolutions to do good deeds. Let us treat the earth that God created for us with care.
The Social Action Committee wishes everyone a happy holiday season ~ Please think about ways to make the world better ~ Upcoming - A special Shabbat on Friday, October 21st.
caring Community
May Everyone Be Inscribed & Sealed for a Good Year
- We are looking forward to celebrating the High Holy Days and to the new beginnings that are ahead of us.
- One of our new beginnings starts with welcoming Andrea Comerchero as a Co-Chair. Andrea's dedication, leadership, warmth, enthusiasm, and accomplishments will assist the Caring Community in reaching and exceeding our goals.
If our hopes of building a better and safer world are to become more than wishful thinking, we will need the engagement of volunteers more than ever - KOFI ANNAN
- We also encourage everyone to keep the lines of communication open and inform the Caring Community if someone needs an assist; the more information we receive the more we can reach out. Please leave messages for me or Andrea at the Temple Office and we will get back to you.

May We All be Written in the Book of Life for a Healthy, Happy Year
- Sisterhood wishes all our members and their families a very sweet New Year!
- As we begin a new year, let’s remember our blessings and how lucky we are to be with family and friends who love and support us. It has been a long, difficult 2+ years since the world has made a most unexpected change. What we thought would be an inconvenience for a month or two, has rocked our very souls and brought many new normals to our daily lives. A horrible pandemic and a devastating flood have tested our faith and really shown us the good in people. I for one, am very grateful for our Temple Family. Our amazing clergy and dedicated lay leadership have managed to work together tirelessly to keep our members connected to the home we love. Temple Tikvah is still an active, caring place of worship. Our home may be in need of many repairs, yet it still provides much comfort.
- This Rosh Hashanah I will be remembering all the times I walked to Temple with my father and grandmother when I was a young girl in the Bronx. I can still hear them praying as I stood between them. It is a wonderful memory. I will also be thinking of the large family meals we had when 22 of us would sit at a table from one end of the living room to the other. There was laughter and love, and of course delicious brisket! This year, as always I will try to keep our traditions alive by preparing my mother’s holiday recipes and my grandmother’s special cookies. I look forward to a full table and time spent remembering memories of those who are no longer with us.
- Sisterhood will be busy this year bringing exciting events to Temple. By the time you read this article, I hope you have already enjoyed our Welcome Back Brunch that we held on Sunday, September 18th. Kudos to Leslie Kizner and Carol Reiter! Our Paid-up Brunch will be coming up in a few months. Please make sure you get your dues to Judy Brambrut in order to be our guest. Look for reminders of our monthly meetings, the first Thursday of the month in the Temple Weekly Updates. All Sisterhood members are welcome to attend and get involved in the work we do for Temple. Volunteers are always appreciated.
We hope everyone is well and able to enjoy the beauty of Autumn ~ L’Shanah Tovah!

MARC GOLD
Rosh Hashanah (The “Gold” Way)
- First, I would like to say, “Hi to all my Temple Tikvah Family and an upcoming Happy New Year to everyone!”
- In my “olden” days growing up, Rosh Hashanah was completely “different” than today…back when I was just a young lad growing up in Flushing, I would go to our Conservative Temple, Queensborough Hill Jewish Center in Flushing on the service road of the LIE. My Dad would make me go with him. We lived about 10 blocks from Temple and we walked - no cars allowed! We had reserved seats in the sanctuary – the good ones up front…..as my dad would say.
- I couldn’t wait for the Rabbi’s hour-long sermon, because that was when all the smokers (and me) left and waited outside until the sermon was over. Once the Rabbi began the sermon, no one could leave or return until it was over. My dad stayed. Outside I was joined by my buddies and we talked sports. I then returned to my seat after the sermon, knowing the end was near. Once we returned home, I had to stay dressed-up since my relatives would be joining us for dinner. No TV was allowed and no buying ice cream from the ice cream man.
- Today, we go to Temple (I would never miss a service) and we go by car. You can find me greeting our congregants, families, and friends with my fellow Brotherhood Members, as we check everyone’s tickets and provide our synagogue with security. After services are over, we are homebound and go back to wearing more comfy clothing as we greet our family for dinner. And…if that ice cream truck should ring its bells, the ice cream is on me!
Brotherhood is currently having its Membership Drive ~ Please join us this year!
