MAZEL TOV TO RABBI SHEINBERG FOR HER 20 YEARS OF SERVICE - TODAH RABAH!
Rabbi Randy Sheinberg
Let Us Spread the Light
- It’s not yet Hanukkah, but already the holiday has begun for me. Yesterday I had the privilege of accompanying our Kol Simkha Children’s Choir on their visit to The Bristol Assisted Living Home. There they performed a number of songs for an attentive audience, including several Hanukkah songs. When they sang “The Dreidel Song,” residents sang and clapped along with them; when they sang Israel’s National Anthem “Hatikvah,” the audience had tears in their eyes; and when they sang “Don’t Let the Light Go Out,” I saw faces beaming with light.
- One could spend one’s time studying the history behind the holiday of Hanukkah. One could read the account of the uprising in the Book of Maccabees. One can debate whether we should laud the zealots, and whether we as modern Reform Jews should side with those who were opposed to assimilation. These are all interesting topics and areas to study. However for me, the message of Hanukkah is at its essence quite simple - spread light. Do not give in to the forces of evil, or hatred. Resolve to battle oppression and spread love and joy.
- This year, it seems particularly important to spread the light. For many of us, these have been dark times. Between the wars in Israel/Gaza and Ukraine, the continuing devastating effects of climate change, and the continuing rise of antisemitism and authoritarianism, we need light more than ever.
- The Talmud (Shabbat 21a-24a) teaches us about lighting the menorah. The menorah is not supposed to be lit in a dark corner of the house, or even on the kitchen table - it should be in the window, facing the public thoroughfare, so that passersby can see it. The main purpose of this mitzvah, say the Talmudic rabbis, is “pirsumay nisa,” publicizing the miracle of the oil that lasted for eight days.
- We need to publicize the “miracle” of the oil, the belief that even in dark times there is always hope, that light can overcome darkness. And these days, we need to broadcast not only the hope and faith symbolized by the menorah; we also need to broadcast our pride in being Jewish. We need to show the world our pride in our faith, and our commitment to living joyous Jewish lives.
- We will have many opportunities to broadcast the miracle and spread the light this season. Please join our Kol Simkha Choir and me as we light the New Hyde Park public menorah on Hillside Avenue on Sunday, December 10th. Know too that the choir will also be spreading the light of the season to patients and families at Cohen’s Children’s Hospital on Thursday, December 14th. And please join your Temple Community for a festive Shabbat Hanukkah Dinner and Family Service on Friday, December 8th. Bring your own menorahs - we will kindle them together and watch the sanctuary fill with light.
Let us celebrate this festival of light with joy and pride, so that we can keep the light shining for a long time to come....Happy Hanukkah!
HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE TO SHOW THE WORLD YOUR PRIDE IN OUR FAITH AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO SPREAD THE LIGHT?

We Are A Truly Blessed Community
- As I sit down to write this article, I am still basking in the afterglow of celebrating Rabbi Sheinberg’s 20 years with Temple Tikvah. That so many congregants came out to honor her is testament to the meaningful role she plays in our lives and to all the hard work she has done over the years to build and maintain this community that we call Temple Tikvah.
- We have gone through a lot as a community, and Rabbi Sheinberg has done more than anyone else to keep us together and connected. We became the community we are today under her spiritual guidance and leadership. And I, for one, am personally very grateful to call Rabbi Randy Sheinberg, my Rabbi and friend.
- As we head into the end of the year, there is a lot to celebrate. We start early with a dinner and paint night on Saturday, December 2nd and continue eating on Friday, December 8th with our first Shabbat Dinner and Grade Service of the year. Our sixth and seventh graders will lead us in song and prayer, and don’t forget to bring your menorah to services on December 8th as we all light our menorahs together and celebrate Hanukkah as a community. As a reminder, Shabbat Family Dinners are open to all congregants, not just religious school families. We only ask that you make a reservation by the requested date so we can plan for the proper amount of food.
- The month continues with two Bet Mitzvah celebrations – Aaron Weisser and Abigail Podber – several community performances by our Kol Simkha Youth Choir, Brotherhood latke making, and a special Hanukkah program for our religious school students. There will also be an adult Lunch & Learn focusing on antisemitism. As always, look for more information on these and other events in the Weekly Updates.
- Lastly, please note that we are not closing out our Kol Nidre Appeal until the end of the year. There is still time to make a donation to Temple, by just clicking on the LINK below or add to your donation as you do your year-end tax planning. Think about the role Temple plays in your life and donate as you see fit.
- And as Israel continues to suffer from the devastating effects of the October 7th invasion by Hamas, visit our Support Israel Web Page, by clicking on the LINK below for donation ideas and other ways you can support our brothers and sisters in Israel.

As We Prepare for the Last Month of 2023, We Also Reflect on What a Fun Month November Was!
- On Sunday, November 5th, Gabriela and Sarah’s talented grandfather, Steven Gluzband, brought his Yiddish and accordion playing skills to the school. The students were fascinated! Many had never seen an accordion before.
A Large Group of Students Journeyed to the Lower East Side Over Veterans Day Weekend ~ A Fun Time was Had by All!
- In December, students will learn about the Middah Gevurah. While there are many translations to Gevurah, we most often refer to it as the ability to discern between two actions, the commitment to justice, and the discipline required to persist through difficulties. Gevurah includes spiritual courage and the willingness to take risks and incur costs for the right causes.
- We will ask our students to apply Gevurah to issues in their lives like withstanding peer pressure, speaking up for others, taking a leadership role in their group when the opportunity or need comes along, persevering in the face of difficulty, and effective conflict resolution.
- On December 8th we will have our first Shabbat Family Dinner and Grade Service of the year. All are invited to join our 6th and 7th grade students at 6:00pm for dinner and 7:00pm for services as our students lead us in prayer and song. The following students will participate: Charlotte Faulkner, Jeremy Heron, Parker Kramer, Alex Lefkof, Sebastian Lefkof, Hope O’Donnell, Ella Oglesby, Sophie Pitt, Julia Adrian, Gabriela Escobar, Jaci Gries, and Asher Samuels.
- We will celebrate Hanukkah in Religious School on Sunday, December 10th with a special Olive Oil Press & Menorah Building Program followed by wonderful latkes, made by our very own Brotherhood. Thank you Brotherhood for cooking for us!
- Congratulations to the Weisser Family on the Bar Mitzvah of their son, Aaron on Saturday, December 2nd!
- Congratulations to the Podber Family on the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter, Abigail on Saturday, December 9th!
- Religious School is closed from Saturday, December 24th through Sunday, December 31st. We will return on Sunday, January 7th.
Wishing everyone a great holiday with family and friends, and a Happy and Healthy New Year ~ 2024!

Happy Chanukah!
- Chanukah sparks so many wonderful memories in my mind filled with traditions. You hear the word ‘Chanukah’ and can almost smell and taste the oily latkes, jelly-filled doughnuts, and chocolate gelt. You can hear the ripping of wrapping paper over eight happy nights. You can see the kindling of the lights warming up your soul. You can feel the skinny top of the dreidel ready to be spun between your fingers. Chanukah brings all of your senses together.
- I hear the word ‘Chanukah’ and it brings a smile to my face, not just because of all the traditions we all think of above, but because it brings me back to a special tradition my family knows as the “Chanukah Man”. As a child who grew up in an interfaith household, who then raised children in an interfaith household, December was always a busy month. My mom did not want me to just think of Santa, and so, the Chanukah Man came to life. Each night, I got a gift from my parents, a package of gelt, and a gift from the Chanukah Man that was connected to the holiday. I couldn’t wait to see what he would bring - some socks with dreidels on them, a special light up spinning top, Maccabee chocolates, or any number of delightful things. I continued this tradition with my daughters, even into the current teen years. I was so delighted one year when my oldest wrote a story about the night the Chanukah Man ran into Santa as the holidays intersected.
Chanukah is a special time of year, because as a Jewish community there are so many traditions that automatically come to my mind. However, the beauty lies in being able to also create your own special family traditions that will carry on from generation to generation.

Sisterhood
Hanukkah Traditions
- December 2023 (Kislev 5784) is not the usual holiday season we associate with traditions, celebrations, gifting, and lights. Instead, it is a dark time in the world, due to the war in Israel and the resultant rise in antisemitism and protests. Families are separated due to death and kidnappings, and soldiers being deployed to battlefields and combat. Yet the Jewish people will do their best to make the holiday season one in which we respect and honor the miracle of Hanukkah.
- In discussing our family traditions, Leslie and I realized that many of the things we remembered were very similar. Both of our families decorated our respective homes with dreidels, stars, banners and menorahs, mostly in blue, white and silver. My parents had an electric menorah in the window with twinkling lights. We also had a Hanukkah flag on the front door. Our families started with one family menorah, however as the kids and grandkids came along each would have their own menorah. Our families always had one night when everyone would get together and would all bring their menorahs. What a wonderful sight of all the lights glowing! Such a wonderful feeling of togetherness and warmth!!
- As kids there was always a gift for each night. One or two might have been more substantial and the rest were smaller yet useful. For Leslie it often was desk supplies with their names engraved on pencils, staplers, etc. As my son got older, he would negotiate for a bigger gift by saying it would be for two or three nights worth.
- Of course, the most important tradition was the food. I remember cocktail franks either in the blanket or with beans as an appetizer, while the food was cooking; especially the latkes and the smell of the onions and the oil. The number of latkes that needed to be made continued to grow, as our families expanded. At times Leslie made them in advance, but usually we both made them right before dinner time. My Mom always made the latkes when she was alive, and now my sister-in-law or my niece make regular, sweet potato and gluten free latkes...always served with apple sauce. My funniest experience was teaching my son and daughter-in-law how to make the latkes, as the tears were running down our cheeks from the onions and laughing and they both had nicks on their fingers from peeling the potatoes. We usually had brisket, kugel or deli as well. There was always something sweet for dessert, often a birthday cake for my nephew.
As we pray for peace in Israel, Leslie and I wish all of Sisterhood and the rest of the Temple membership a miraculous holiday season. May the lights of Hanukkah bring us out of the darkness of war. May there be food, water, and gas for those in need. May the kidnapped be freed and the soldiers allowed to go home. And may you all follow your traditions and have a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

Social Action
Traditions of Our Kehilla and The Concept of Tzedakah
- This month we celebrate Hanukkah and its traditions and connections: miracles, victories, dedication, and the lights of the menorah each of the eight nights. Perhaps by the time this column arrives in your email, the Jewish people will be fortunate enough to have another miracle – another victory, this time over Hamas, through the dedication of Israel’s soldiers and the people who support them. Let’s hope our prayers will be answered with a peaceful resolution for all.
- At the last Social Action Meeting, in addition to a report on the food delivered to the Sid Jacobson JCC, the members decided to collect feminine products during January and February in the bins placed in the Beber for the JCC. Other requested items are posted in the flyer that follows our column and can be found in the Weekly Updates. In addition, a proposal was drafted for the Temple Board to consider enabling the Temple to decrease and possibly eliminate single use plastics at its gatherings and events whenever possible. Much time was also spent discussing ideas for community activities related to current circumstances both in Israel and in the U.S., something beyond individuals writing checks to enable us to feel connected. When a date is set for our next meeting and/or event (possibly a speaker), it will be posted in the Weekly Updates.

Happy Hanukkah to My Temple Community
- The Hanukkah Season will begin on Thursday, December 7th when we will be lighting our menorahs for eight nights - I love it! In our home, we have the traditional wax candles menorahs, to be exact - about 10 of them (honestly). We also have an electric one that we turn on in the window.
- Our container of all our Hanukkah decorations will soon be brought down from the attic and we’ll make our living room our Holiday Room. A large electric spinning dreidel is our highlighted symbol. It is such a fun time of the year!
- Other family traditions are our Annual Potato Latkes Contest. All family members who attend our holiday gathering bring their baked latkes. We usually get maybe 6 or 7 entries each year. We then secretly number them and have a neutral family member slowly taste each entry with apple sauce. The winner receives our Hanukkah Potato Latkes Trophy which we pass on each year.
- One year we played Hanukkah Jeopardy with a traditional Jeopardy Board, when we divided the family into 3 groups (teams). The questions of course are related to Hanukkah and I am the host (naturally).
- And then we hold our Hanukkah Grab Bag. This too is great fun. First we pick the order of who is picking, and then when it’s your turn, you can decide to pick a gift or trade with someone who already went and they get yours. Over the years, I personally have received a lot of cool gifts - like an Echo Dot, tripod for my phone, and gift cards to my favorite places.
- Brotherhood News: We held our Annual Fundraiser at Panera Bread last month. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us! • We also distributed Challah to our Brotherhood Members as a thank you for being Brotherhood members. • This month Brotherhood will be cooking latkes for the Religious School...an annual tradition for many years. • Our Annual Defensive Driving Course will be in a few months. Please look for the flyer in upcoming Weekly Updates.
Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year!
