ARC ANGEL– Rabbi Susie Heneson Moskowitz M ost people are behind supporting the environment, greening our world and trying to live in a way that leaves our planet safe for future generations. But sometimes it is hard. What really happens to our recycling? Won’t composting smell? It costs too much money to use eco-friendly products. But did you know that we are commanded to be Shomrei Adamah – Guardians of the Earth? We are taught early on in Genesis 1 that humans have dominion over the earth. This phrase has been interpreted in ways that have caused us to rule over the animals and plants in in effect to exploit the earth. But in the next chapter it says, “Adonai, took Adam and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to keep it.” (2:15) Ahh, dominion doesn’t mean to rule over but rather, to care for and to be responsible for the world. We are expected to take care of the earth. Many savvy ideas are given throughout the Torah such as letting fields lay fallow every seven years, protecting fruit bearing trees and leaving part of our bounty to feed the needy. At TBT we are creating an Eco-friendly/Greening Committee to help move Temple Beth Torah in the di- rection of being a zero waste, eco-conscious We are commanded facility. We are starting by looking for products we to be can use that will be better for the environment, Shomrei Adamah – increasing our recycling and composting, and Guardians of the Earth creating less waste. We are researching being a CSA (Community Supported Agricultural) pick up spot and installing water refilling stations. Along the way we hope to do a lot of educating and sharing the information we find with you. Some of our efforts will reach beyond the walls of the Temple, into your homes, our public schools and to the town. Please let me know if you would be interested in joining this committee, we would love to have you. There is always so much going on at TBT, please look through this issue of the ARC and check our website, so you can mark your calendars. Two very special happenings are Touched By Torah 613 and our Purim Celebration with the Rad 80’s shpiel and awesome carnival. L’shalom, Rabbi Susie Heneson Moskowitz 3

On Cantor’s Corner January 12th we had the great pleasure and honor of having Pastor Jonathan Mack, and Elder Octavia Smith, along with choir members and congregants from the City of Oasis Church, join us for our 2nd annual Shabbat service and dinner honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was a fabulous celebration. That evening in addition to the joyous and uplifting song and prayer, we raised over $1300 dollars to help them cover the costs of extreme damage to their church, due to the severe weather. Our drive to collect toiletries and school supplies to help a shelter near the church was also very successful. We are so thankful for Robin Weiner and Debra Brooks, who were both instrumental in making the evening a success. On Sunday January 21st, Rabbi Moskowitz, Rabbi Wiesenberg and I, as well as congregants from TBT, attended the celebration of Pastor Mack’s 5th Pastoral Anniversary. We were invited to share remarks and bless him. It was a meaningful experience for us all, and we feel so grateful and blessed to have this wonderful relationship. We look forward to seeing this spiritual partnership grow for years to come. Shabbat with the Adult Band Friday, Feb 9 6:30 pm www.tbtny.org 7

SISTERHOOD NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS Sisterhood had two fun recent events. The first was the regifting party in January. Thank you to Judy Roth for coordinating a fun filled night. Our second event was the Challah Bake which we co-hosted with Shaloma Hadassah. Women mixed ingredients to create fresh dough, braided it and took it home to finish rising and baked on Friday to share with their families at Shabbat dinner. Rabbi Susie joined us and shared the history of Challah and the meaning behind hundreds of years of this feminine Jewish tradition. We will be making a donation to Hadassah Hospital in Israel for stem cell research. Laurie Introp and I were a great team and we hope everyone who attended enjoyed a warm and yummy Challah. My thanks to her and the Shaloma Hadassah members who helped us. We are planning a few spring events and look forward to another winery trip with Brotherhood this summer. Stay tuned for event details… Warmly, Fern Bernstein 19
BROTHERHOOD EVENTS Next General Meeting- Thursday, February 8 @ 7pm Location- offsite Please call Alan Kreit if you wish to attend 516-721-1911. Shabbat with the Adult Band Friday, Feb 9 6:30 pm www.tbtny.org Q: What should I do if I have extra food from shiva at my house? A:If you have excess food from shiva (or any other function), consider donating it to feed the hungry. Many have been taught that food shouldn’t leave a shiva house. In some ways we still honor that teaching by not taking food out of the house during shiva (This is the “Schnorer rule” – that people would take back food that they brought or help themselves to the mourner’s food). Today many of us are fortunate to not have to depend on the food that is sent and after shiva would like to use it to help others. It is very appropriate to donate it to those in need. In doing so you perform the Mitzvah of Tzedakah, and you honor your loved one’s memory by making a donation in their name. Jewish tradition views charity as the strongest force in the universe . . . even greater than death. The Mercy INN, a soup kitchen in Wyandanch, will gladly accept donations of excess food. Charlie Cicio, volunteer food coordinator of the Mercy Inn, will arrange pick up of food dona- tions. His phone number is (631)455-8989. The number of the Mercy Inn is (631)643-5117. Thank you and please pass this information on when appropriate. 20
