Tu B'Shevat Seder Feb 12 Celebrate the New Year for trees

and the splendid, abundant gifts of

the natural world that give our

senses delight and our bodies life.

Join us for the Tu B’Shevat Seder

and lunch on Sunday, February

12, at 11 a.m. at SJC. To celebrate

the holiday, the Seder is filled

with fruits and vegetables (nut-

free) and 4 glasses of wine or

grape juice. Following the Seder,

we will enjoy a traditional

vegetarian Israeli lunch. As we

have in past years, we will collect

money for trees to be given to the

Jewish National Fund. Cost for the

meal is $10/adult and $5/child for

members ($15/adult and $8/child

for non-members). SJC has moved

to an online ticketing system for

payment for events. To pay, go to

https://sjc.yapsody.com, click on

“Tu B’Shevat Seder and Lunch”

and “Get Tickets,” then select the

number of tickets and ticket type,

and follow the payment

instructions. If you have any

questions, contact Joel Simon at

[email protected] or

302-245-1386.

SJC Book Group Meeting Feb 22 SJC’s new book group’s first meeting

will be February 22, 7 p.m., at SJC.

We will be discussing Dara Horn’s

All Other Nights. Leaders for this

discussion will be Pat Powell and

Susan Aaronson. Please come

prepared to discuss the book and to

suggest a book for the next gathering.

The Rehoboth Beach and Lewes

Public Libraries have been advised of

our selection, and a few copies will

be available to be placed on order. If

planning to attend, please contact Pat

Powell at 215-290-4595 or Susan

blahs? Come to SJC on Saturday,

February 25, at 7 p.m., for a game

night hosted by the Social

Committee. Please bring your

favorite game or party idea along

with a snack and a drink, and join

your friends for an evening of fun

and conversation. What a great

way to spend a winter evening!

We look forward to seeing you.

Please Renew Your SJC Membership Thanks to all who have sent in

their 2017 dues. Because dues are

your dues payments to operate. An

invoice was included in the

January newsletter, which is

available on the SJC website

under About Us > Newsletters.

You can send a check to our

mailing address or pay online by

going to our website under Giving

and completing the Membership

online payment process. We

request that new members not pay

online, but rather download and

fill out the online membership

form and mail it in with a check.

We welcome all who want to join

regardless of ability to pay. If you

cannot pay full dues, please pay

what you can, let us know it's for

2017, and we’ll gladly include you

Co-President’s Message - Mike Saltzman

We began 2017 with our new

office manager, Debbie Costello,

who started with us on January 9.

We look forward to having her

assistance. She has an interesting

and varied background, one which

we believe will be very beneficial

to SJC. We’ve already transitioned

some of the administrative tasks to

her from the Board and

Membership and Worship

committees. If your committee has

something you believe she could

help you with, please have your

committee chair contact Buddy

Feldman or me.

You’ve also probably heard about

the bomb threats made to

synagogues and other Jewish

institutions in many states,

including Delaware. Thank

goodness, SJC did not receive a

call. There were no actual incidents

of a bomb anywhere, but the

situations were deeply disturbing.

The calls were robocalls, but that

made little difference.

Even before these threats, SJC had

begun to plan for increased security

of our building. The House

Committee is leading the effort to

make our building more secure

with upgraded lighting, key and

lock improvements, and adding

land line phones inside the

building. Keeping our building and

congregants safe requires an effort

by everybody, and that is why we

ask you to “See something, say

something.” Look for building

improvements in the near future.

Board Meetings Meetings are open to members.

Mar 7 – 7 p.m. at SJC

Rehoboth Jewish Film Festival Slated for March The second annual Rehoboth

Beach Jewish Film Festival will be

held at the Cinema Arts Theater in

Lewes. The festival begins with a

“pre-festival event” on Thursday,

March 16, with a screening of

Focus, a film based on the novel by

Arthur Miller. Copies of the novel

may be purchased through

Amazon. We are thrilled to

welcome Dr. Eric Zakim, Professor

of Hebrew Literature and Culture

and director of Film Studies at the

University of Maryland to speak to

us at this event.

The actual festival runs from

Wednesday, March 22, through

Sunday, March 26 (SJC will not

sponsor films held on Shabbat.) On

Wednesday evening, an Israeli

dinner will be held at Fish On

Restaurant in conjunction with the

first film, In Search of Israeli

Cuisine. The rest of the festival

follows with a total of eleven

screenings through the weekend.

Several of the films will include a

speaker or a discussion leader.

More information can be obtained

and tickets can be purchased by

calling or visiting the Rehoboth

Beach Film Society at 107 Truitt

Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, 302-

645-9095, or purchase tickets

online at rehobothfilm.com. Scroll

down the left column and click on

Jewish Film Festival. Then click on

online ticket reservations.

You can make contributions to SJC

to support the festival by sending

your donations directly to SJC at

our mailing address. Please write

“Film Fest” on your checks and

include a note with your

contribution that funds can be used

to defray the costs of the festival.

Kiddush Sponsors Needed ASAP Thanks to everyone who has

volunteered to sponsor an Oneg

Shabbat or Kiddush lunch. We

have an immediate need for a

volunteer to sponsor the Kiddush

on February 18, and also on

March 18, April 15 (for Shabbat),

and April 16 (for Pesach Festival

Service). We also are seeking

volunteers for May and beyond. If

you have a specific date you want

to reserve to celebrate an event,

please do so now as we often have

a few people who want the same

date. It’s very easy to set up the

kitchen for your snacks and food.

Someone is always there to give a

hand. To volunteer, please contact

Irene Ullmann at 302-947-9123 or

[email protected].

Thank You Robbin Myerberg! Since December 2008, Robbin

Myerberg has been the SJC

newsletter designer and layout

editor. She has decided to step

down from that position. Each

month, she worked with our

newsletter editor, Fran Sneider, to

publish an informative and

readable newsletter. Rain or shine,

vacations or not, in sickness and in

health, she worked to get the

newsletter out at the end of each

month - 95 monthly newsletters in

all. Thank you, Robbin, for a job

well done!

House Committee Report The House Committee had a busy

January beginning research on a

number of projects to make

improvements in areas such as

parking, lighting, improved door

locks and a few other items. The

committee works closely with the

board to identify issues and

implement Board approved

solutions. The committee has 7

members, but there is always room

for more, and any help is

welcome. If you are a SJC

member with an interest in and

desire to help with building issues,

please contact committee chair,

Matt Ash, whose contact

information is at left.

Passover – Not Too Far Away Passover begins at sundown on

Monday, April 10, and continues

until sundown Monday, April 17,

(or Tuesday, April 18, for those

who observe 8 days). SJC has two

opportunities to honor and

celebrate this most important

festival of freedom from our

history and in Jewish life today.

As has been SJC’s tradition from

our very start in 1997, we will

have a community Seder on the

second night of Passover, on

Tuesday, April 11. Reservations

are required and cannot be

accepted any later than March 30.

We have moved to an online

reservation system. See the form

elsewhere in this issue with all the

information as to location and cost

and how to make a reservation

(i.e., purchase a ticket). The form

is also available on our website

under About Us > Newsletter.

The last day of Passover is also

one of the four times a year when

the Yizkor memorial prayers are

said to honor the memories of our

loved ones. There will be a

Festival service with Yizkor on

Sunday evening, April 16, 7:30

p.m., at SJC. We hope you can

join with us to celebrate the

festival at either or both of our

observances. Hag Sameach–a

joyous festival.



Adult Education Programs Meetings are at SJC at 7:30 p.m.

All are invited.

First Thursday: Jewish History

On February 2, we will view and

discuss Part 2 of the series, “The

Story of the Jews.” This part is

about Post Temple Jerusalem. The

early Jews lived in a hostile world.

After the destruction of the Temple

they dispersed to many corners of

their known world. Without a

home, without an army, how did

our religion survive? We follow

our history into welcoming Muslim

Spain, the rest of the Arab world

and England in this episode. We

learn how our ways were codified

and about the brave ones who kept

Judaism from becoming extinct.

Then, on March 2, we will view

Part 3, about how the intellectual

enlightenment opened doors for

Jews in Europe. Even if you've

already seen the series, see it again

with your SJC community and

explore it in more depth.

Second Thursday: A Taste of

Mussar

Each month, we study one virtue or

character trait (middah) that is part

of Mussar, a spiritual discipline

within Judaism. On February 9,

George Beckerman will facilitate

the session where folks will share

their experiences with their

personally selected middot. Then,

on March 9, we’ll begin to study

the middah of Simplicity.

Through Mussar, participants are

able to engage in spiritual practices

that allow them to deepen their

awareness of self by studying a

different middah, a soul trait or

behavior characteristic, each

month. While we are learning

about these traits, it is not an

intellectual study. It’s a way to

explore our spiritual selves,

discovering who we are and

discussing our specific experiences

related to the selected middah.

Please let Rabbi Beth know at

[email protected] if you’ll be

attending for the first time, so she

can email you introductory

information before your first

session. If you plan to participate

regularly, you may want to order

the text the class uses - Everyday

Holiness, by Alan Morinis.

Third Thursday: Jewish Culture

There will not be a third Thursday

event on February 16. On March

16, our third Thursday event will

be the “pre-festival event” start of

the Rehoboth Jewish Film Festival.

See the article about the Film

Festival on page 2 for details.

Fourth Thursday: Pirkei Avot

On February 23 and March 30 (a

fifth Thursday), we continue our

discussion of Chapter 6 of Pirkei

Avot. Our constant aim as we

study the chapter are the words of

the prophet Micah: “He has told

you, O man, what is good, and

what does the Lords require of you,

but to do justice, and to love

kindness, and to walk humbly with

your God.” We also discuss R.

Simeon and his statement: “There

are three crowns; the crown of

Torah; that of the priesthood, and

that of kingdom; the crown of a

good name however, is above all.”

So come and study, discuss, and

share your thoughts. If you have

any questions, please contact Burt

Brenman at [email protected]

or 302-947-2183.

Minutes of SJC Board Minutes are available to interested

members after the Board approves

them. Copies may be obtained by

contacting our Secretary.

Alfred Gross Scholars Shabbat Donations Requested Save the date! The 10th Annual

Alfred Gross Scholars Shabbat

will be Friday-Saturday, June 2-3.

The event is in honor of Alfred

Gross for his leadership role in

founding Seaside and launching

our adult education program. The

2017 event will also celebrate the

20th Anniversary of the founding

of SJC. Our scholars will be

Renee Brachfield and Rabbi Mark

Novak. They will lead Shabbat

services on Friday evening and

Saturday morning. Renee and

Rabbi Mark will enrich our

services with thought provoking

stories and stimulating songs. On

Saturday morning, following a

short service, they will present an

interactive D’var Torah, to be

followed by a story and musical

experience on The Spiritual Magic

of the Niggun. All participants

will have lunch together, and then

Renee and Rabbi Mark will

perform Klezmer tales and inter-

generational storytelling in the

Jewish tradition.

This imaginative and delightful

program, as with each of the

Alfred Gross Lectures since 2007,

is presented at no cost, as it is

fully supported by your

contributions to SJC’s Alfred

Gross Scholars Fund. Please

consider making a contribution to

the Fund as part of your personal

giving plans for 2017. Use the

donation form in this newsletter or

on the homepage of our SJC

website to make a contribution

that would assure the continuity of

the Alfred Gross Scholars Shabbat

into the future and also to applaud

Seaside on our 20th Anniversary.



Religious School News The religious school had a long

break. After celebrating Chanukah

on December 18, the kids began a

2 week winter break. They were

scheduled to return on January 8,

but mother nature had other plans.

School was cancelled due to snow.

As no religious school was

scheduled for January 15 for the

Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, it

was a full 4 weeks before school

resumed on January 22.

Purim Celebration Mar 12 Our annual Purim celebration will

be Sunday, March 12, at SJC.

Following SJC tradition, at 11

a.m., our religious school children

will perform “Wicked: The Untold

Story of Purim” for us, followed

by the reading of the Megilla and

a potluck meat lunch. The children

will also participate in arts and

crafts projects and Hamantaschen

baking. Should be a fun day for

both adults and children. Please

come and support our religious

school. You don’t need to have a

child in the school to attend. Bring

a dish to share at the potluck, and

let Joel Simon know if you plan to

attend the lunch and what food

item you wish to bring by

contacting him at 302-245-1386 or

[email protected].

Yes, You Can! Have you ever wanted to attend an

SJC event but thought you couldn't

afford it? SJC policy is to work with

you if you have a financial hardship.

Please contact the treasurer to

confidentially discuss your situation.

Friendly Reminder Children should always be supervised

at SJC. If you bring a child to an event

they should be with you or another

adult at all times.

Oy Vey 5K! SJC is excited about our 5th Oy

Vey 5k, 1 mile walk, and kids

race. The event will be on April 2,

at 9 a.m., with race day

registration beginning at 8 a.m.

We are again partnering with

Seashore Striders to host a

fantastic day of fun and fitness.

We hope you will consider

running, walking, volunteering,

sponsoring, and/or supporting the

race. Complete the registration

form in this issue if you want to

participate in the race. Complete

the sponsor form if you are willing

and able to support the race

financially. Both forms are also

available on our website under

About Us > Newsletter.

All proceeds benefit SJC's

educational programs. To

volunteer or ask questions, contact

Joel Simon at 302-245-1386 or

[email protected]. We

need your help with the following:

Sponsors. Your business has a

unique opportunity to support our

race. As a sponsor your business

will be represented in race

materials and displayed

prominently on our race shirts.

Please complete the sponsor form

and mail it to SJC.

Volunteers. Volunteers will be

crucial the morning of the race.

We will need help with set up,

parking, registration, food prep

and service, the water stop, and

directing traffic.

Chefs and Bakers. Anyone who is

able to make a dish for the post-

race party would be a big help.

This has always been a highlight

of our race. Runners always

compliment SJC for the food at

the after party. We feature kugel at

this event and would love one

donated from you, but any dairy or

parve food is fine.

We hope that many of you will

join in the excitement as a

participant, sponsor, volunteer, or

all three! Let's build on the

success of the last four years’

events and make this one even

better.

Book Review The Adult Education Committee

recommends the book Notorious

RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth

Bader Ginsburg by Irin Carmon

and Shana Knizhnik. Delightfully

written, with charts denoting the

amazing difference Ginsburg

made by her lawyerly emphasis on

individual rights; it is a story to

treasure. Her step-by-step

approach in addressing

discrimination provides an

example of how ideas become

accepted and move into the

mainstream. Her marriage is an

example of two people equally

proficient in their fields, and the

ways in which they respected both

the needs of their growing family

and their commitment to their

professional lives. This book is

available through the Delaware

Library System. Questions and

comments may be addressed to

Miriam Zadek at

[email protected].

Wednesday Mornings at Seaside

Every Wednesday. 9 to 10:30 a.m.,

you’ll find the SJC doors open for

those interested in a contemplative,

spiritual, peace-filled start to their day.

Meditation, chant, and prayer are

included. Everyone, including folks

wanting to learn the practice of

meditation, is welcome.

Mitzvah Day April 2 Each year, SJC participates in

International Good Deeds Day.

Sunday, April 2, is the day and

SJC is the place. Our Mitzvah Day

is two-fold. First, we are helping

our Oy Vey 5K race organizers

with the making and serving of

kugels for the race after-party

meal. Second, during the morning

of the race, we are collecting items

such as toiletries, diapers, etc., and

used but not abused suitcases for

the Immanuel Code Purple Shelter

for the Homeless. We need your

help for both!

To volunteer to make kugel,

Thank You to our Members Who Completed First Aid Class On Sunday, December 4, twenty

SJC members attended a three

hour class in Cardiopulmonary

Resuscitation (CPR), Automated

External Defibrillator (AED), and

first-aid. This class teaches life-

saving procedures for prolonging

lives while waiting for first-

responders to arrive. Did you

know that CPR should be started

about ten seconds after a person

shows signs of heart failure? Each

person taking the class had the

option of receiving a certification

card from the American Heart

Association valid for two years.

We are all very thankful to our

students for their participation in

the class, and we hope that they

never have to use these skills.

Yahrzeit Plaques Honor your departed loved one by

having a plaque mounted on the wall

in the sanctuary. It takes 3 months to

receive them.

Food, Clothing, Toiletries Needed

So many in our area are in need. Bring

non-perishable food, gently used coats

and clothing, or new toiletries when

you come to SJC and put them in the

wicker basket at the top of the stairs.

The Community Service Committee

will pick up your donated items and

deliver them to local service

organizations. Thank you and please

help!







2017 Opening Dinner Trumps Snowstorm! SJC’s Opening Dinner was slated

for January 7 at King’s Creek

Country Club, but a record

snowfall postponed the event. The

social committee and KCC agreed

to reschedule, and consequently,

we gathered the following

Saturday, January 14. Due to the

rescheduling, about half who had

initially signed up were unable to

attend, but those who did had a

great time. KCC served a delicious

buffet dinner, and the smaller

group made for a more intimate

evening. We got to know each

other better, and we welcomed

four new couples to SJC. Thanks

to the club for their flexibility in

accommodating us, and to Brina

Krupp and Fran Saltzman for

planning another wonderful

evening.

January Lunches On Thursday, January 19, both

men and women held their

respective lunches. The ladies (or

Juliets) gathered at the Forgotten

Mile Ale House. Eighteen women

enjoyed varied entrees and great

conversation. We were happy to

see some new faces in addition to

many long-standing members.

Afterwards, many of us stayed for

either Mah Jongg or canasta.

Thanks to Debby Markow for

another successful gathering.

Thirteen men met at SJC and

journeyed to Nicola’s on the

Avenue for half-price nic-o-bolis.

The group included a few new

members, and we enjoyed dining

with them. Thanks to Mike

Saltzman for setting up this event.

Pastoral Support – Just A Phone Call Away SJC members visit patients at local

hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab

facilities. We can help families

dealing with the death of a loved

one. SJC’s Religious Leader is

available to help families through

the rituals and processes

surrounding death, including

funeral and burial, Shiva, and

notifying the SJC community, while

other SJC members take care of

providing a Shiva tray or meal of

comfort or a contribution in

memory of the loved one. Contacts:
