What do you do about negative
thinking? It could be your own
thinking that is negative. Perhaps
you are the person who always
denigrates themselves, or criticizes
their own behaviors, when for the
most part there is no need to do so.
You could be that person who you
know that is always negative about
what they see around themselves.
They are the ones who never see
the good in the world, but only see that wars and
violence and deterioration of their immediate reality. I
read recently about the research of Barbara
Frederickson, a psychologist at the University of North
Carolina, who studied the fostering of positive emotions
through micro-moments of positivity. Essentially, you
need to find brief moments of positive feeling that will
protect you from stress and depression. This article is
not to suggest that we should not feel the worries and
concerns of daily life, nor feel the anger of a wrong, but
that to see the world through a negative prism will have
negative effects.

It is interesting that Rebbe Nachman of Breslov
understood the same thing in the 18th century. He
taught… Reb Nosson wrote: “Sadness, depression,
anxieties and doubts are highly damaging and are more
destructive, G-d forbid, than one’s wrongdoing.... Fortify
yourself again and again; begin anew every day. Do not
dwell on any doubts or depression—pay them no
attention at all. Do not give in!” (Healing Leaves, p. 47)

As told by the journalist Jane Brody, Dr. Fredrickson and
her colleagues have demonstrated that the brain is
plastic, or capable of generating new cells and pathways,
and it is possible to train the circuitry in the brain to
promote more positive responses. A person can learn to
be more positive by practicing certain skills that foster
positivity. For example, Dr. Frederickson’s team found
that six weeks of training in a form of meditation focused
on compassion and kindness resulted in an increase in
positive emotions and social connectedness, and
improved function of one of the main nerves that helps to
control heart rate. The result is a more variable heat rate
that she said is associated with objective health benefits.
Dr. Frederickson wrote, “The results suggest that taking
time to learn the skills to self-generate positive emotions
can help us become healthier, more social and more
resilient versions of ourselves”.

State of the President
Notes…...from the Cantor
Fellow Congregants,
There is a prayer that is common
to all services; it is known by many
names. It is referred to as the
Shemoneh Esreh – the prayer
containing 18 blessings; the
Amidah – the standing prayer; and
in the Talmud as Ha’Tefillah – The
Prayer. It is this prayer of Amidah
that is the central part of any
service.
It is the 69th anniversary of Israel’s
independence. Each year around
the world Jews celebrate this
milestone in our history, often
regardless of our individual
connections or opinions regarding
the State of Israel. The foundation
of a Jewish state is often seen as
having been a response to antiSemitism and as a result the state
as a symbol of Jewish resilience. However, so often
Jews and gentiles alike find it difficult to separate a
Jewish identity from our historic and religious
connections to the physical land.
There is a choreography and formula that goes along
with the Amidah. We stand with our feet together as a
sign of respect and also to emulate the way that the
heavenly creatures stand. We bow at the beginning and
end of the Amidah as a sign of humility but only bow in
these places as G-d does not require us to be overly
humble. We raise our heels in the Kedushah to mimic
the motions of the Seraphim, angelic creatures.
Here at Tifereth Israel, while many of us have family who
live in Israel, and many of us have visited ourselves, the
majority of us have a greater connection to the United
States than to Israel, and our Jewish identity precedes
any connection we may have to the state. Nearly 2,000
years of Jewish history has taken place in diaspora, and
our modern identities as Jews are inexorable from that
reality. While a Jewish state exists, so many of us
continue to build our lives in the broader world. While we
should certainly celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut, we should
not fall into the trap of forgetting Judaism is so much
more than a political entity. On this Independence Day, I
found myself thinking more and more about what the
idea of Israel means to me. I kept coming back to what
Abraham responded to G-d to indicate his readiness,
“hineni”, or “here I am”, and how this contrasted to Adam
hiding from G-d in the Garden of Eden. Prior to
Abraham, the Tanakh did not deal with the Jewish
people, but with the whole world. Abraham making his
commitment to being present and acting was the
moment of divergence. As Jews it is our heritage to
stand for what we believe in, to say “here I am” no matter
where we are.
The formula of the Amidah is consistent. It is the same
whether it is a weekday or holiday, morning, afternoon
or evening. We always begin and conclude with the
same three blessings. It is in the beginning brachot that
we acknowledge G-d as the god of our ancestors, an all
-powerful being, and as a holy god. We conclude the
Amidah with three blessings, where pray for a return to
Zion, thank G-d for all that we have, and conclude with a
blessing for peace.
There is a consistency and a rhythm to the Amidah that
is beautiful. But it is the beginning line of the Amidah
that I would like to expound upon. The Amidah begins
with a silent line of meditation where we ask G-d’s help
with our prayer. It starts in Hebrew with the words,
“Adonai s’fatai tiftach” – “Lord, open my lips that my
mouth may tell your praise”. At first glance, this line
seems to me rather illogical. I have never had a problem
opening my mouth. Ask anyone around you. Why is it
then that we ask G-d’s help with speaking? The answer
lies in the conclusion of the Amidah. After our blessing
for peace, “Sim Shalom”, we return to a personal
meditation. It begins with the words, “Elohai nitzor
lishoni meyrah”, “My G-d, guard my tongue from evil.”
The word “nitzor” (or guard) also has a modern
translation. It is the name of a safety catch on a gun.
What we are asking at the conclusion of this prayer is
for G-d to put a safety catch on our tongue so that we
think before speaking evil, before causing someone
hurt. The opening line now begins to make more sense.
At the beginning of the Amidah we ask our Creator to
open our mouth and lips, to take the safety off, so that
we may address G-d. At the conclusion of the Amidah,
we ask G-d to please put the safety back on, so that we
may be careful with our words.
That is why I would like to use this article to describe
some of the things we have accomplished, are working
on, and support here at TI. One way people often build
connections to the land of Israel is by having trees
planted in their or a loved one’s name, as a Tikun Olam
effort . Similarly, one project we are currently working on
is bringing solar panels to the TI parking lot. Not only will
this diversify our energy consumption and help us in a
small part work towards combatting climate change, it
will also help to diversify the way we consume energy at
TI and hopefully serve as a means of securing our
financial future. While not definite, we are considering
funding options that include allowing both congregants
and members of the broader New Bedford community to
“buy in”. If that is a route we take, it could be an exciting
way for you to both deepen your connection to TI as well
as serve as a commitment to Tikun Olam.
There is a saying in Judaism that G-d created people
with only one tongue but with a set of teeth and a pair of

From the Executive Director’s Desk
Educationally Speaking
One of my responsibilities as
Executive Director is to maintain our
building. As such, I like to update the
congregation from time to time on
the state of some upgrades to the
building.
On the last Sunday of Hebrew
School, I followed the six and seven
grade Ziskind School students at the
zoo. It has finally stopped raining
and it is a clear crisp day. The
youngest students in the school
were already going to the zoo, and I
was asked by the older students if
they could join, too.
Our tile floors tended to get a new
coat of wax each year, to help
protect them. However, this causes a
yellowing buildup. The wax buildup
had not, to anyone’s memory, ever been stripped off. So
this past fall and winter, we had most of the flooring
stripped and re-waxed. As I watched the process, I noted
an incredible amount of ancient wax being stripped off.
Anyone who saw the freshly stripped and waxed floor
side-by-side with flooring that still retained a buildup
noted a dramatic difference.
When I teach at the Ziskind School, I
am constantly reminded about how our students bring
life to our Jewish community. As students, from the
youngest to the oldest, ran around the zoo looking up
Hebrew names for animals, and sharing their Hebrew
animal flashcards with one another, I am reminded of
this. The friendships that are created because of the
Ziskind School will last a lifetime. A few of the moms that
have known each other their whole lives and connected
through the Hebrew school when they were younger
have supported this thought.
In April, we had most of the lighting in the building
replaced. A few areas still need to be addressed, and
these will be done over time. In the meantime, the new
LED lights are brighter and will be lowering our electricity
cost. The combination of the lighting change and the
floor stripping is perking up the look of the interior of the
building.
Here is a reminder as to what our school has
accomplished this year, as written by Sarah Caruso, the
School Board president:
And the needs for the exterior of the building are being
addressed, as well. Our new (as of a year ago)
landscaper has been very conscientious about keeping
our grounds looking good. This has included many onetime projects to address neglected areas. These projects
included removal of about a half dozen trees which were
growing too close to the building, the cleanup and
removal of trees growing wild by the loading dock,
removal of dead branches, and some necessary
shrubbery trimming.
Many of our external doors were repaired and repainted
this fall. The repair part addressed problems of some of
the wood peeling back from the doors. The repainting
helps give them a fresh look.
And by the time this issue of the Tifereth Israelight goes
to print, we should have the exterior of the building
power washed, removing mildew that has accumulated.
This, coupled with the new outdoor lighting from two
years ago, should really make the image of our building
pop.
Last year, we installed 10 security cameras on the
outside of the building. This security upgrade gives us a
better view as to who is requesting entrance to the
locked building. It also gives us the opportunity to review
action around the building if there were to be an incident
of any sort in the prior few days.

Students participated in a fun and interactive
Model Seder at the New Bedford Jewish
Convalescent Home.

Students completed their holiday stamps with
artist Judith Klein for the permanent art exhibit.

Students hosted two Israeli student
ambassadors and enjoyed a sports-themed
afternoon, playing ice breaker games, and
learning about Israel's favorite sports by playing
a team trivia game.

The Ziskind School volunteered at the cemetery
to thank our departed veterans for their service
by putting up the graveside flags.

The last day of Hebrew school, May 18th, when
we had a Lag B’Omer celebration and picnic
dinner for all students – Preschool through
Hebrew High – and their families.

We have a wonderful Madrichim program for our
students in 8th grade and above. All students in
the Madrichim program want to continue as
teacher's aides for the 2017-2018 school year,
and all of our 7th grade graduates are also
planning to join this program. This is significant,
since students must be enrolled in Hebrew High
to participate in this program. We are proud that
our students still feel connected to the school
and want to continue to be involved.

OSS Space Planning Update
Dear TI Family,
We are excited to give you a quick update on the advances with the project to increase Our Sister School’s (OSS’s) use
of TI’s facilities.
Inside the building, changes being discussed include a focus on OSS making greater use of the Large Social Hall. Other
changes are ones to the school wing, which OSS is already exclusively using, that better fit their usage needs, including
removing and constructing some walls and some electrical and plumbing work. An architect has been engaged by OSS,
at their expense, to properly plan the inside changes needed. The joint OSS/TI planning committee continues to meet,
as needed, to plan changes and review needs and actions.
OSS completed their design of proposed changes to the grounds outside of OSS to accommodate an outdoor education
and recreation center. Anyone that is interested can stop by the TI office to look at a birds-eye view of what it will look
like. The design is beautiful and will enhance the appearance of the grounds. There will be no financial impact on
Tifereth Israel, either positive or negative, for the outdoor changes. We will benefit by being able to enjoy the
beautification it will add; and completion of the project will make it more desirable for OSS to continue their relationship
with TI farther into the future. On May 2, the TI Board of Directors approved a recommendation made by the OSS
Increased Facility Use Committee to allow OSS to proceed with the outdoor changes of this project.
We will follow up again when the indoor plans become more definitive.
Very sincerely,

Returning to the inside of the building, this winter we had
repairs made to our Chapel pews. The repairs were to
fix some “rocking” problems on many of the pews, and
to add molding to the bottom of the pews. (The molding
had to be removed when we added carpeting to the
Chapel several years back.)
2. To foster positive emotions, do good things for other
people.
3. Appreciate the world around you.
4. Develop and bolster relationships.
As I write, work is being done to replace aging air
conditioning systems that are breaking down in the
Chapel and the Small Social Hall. This is being done not
so much as an improvement, but as a necessary repair.
(Though I do expect that we will save on electricity with
more modern systems.) At some point, we’ll need to
figure out the next steps for the Large Social Hall and
possibly the Sanctuary, as well.
5. Learn something new.
6. Choose to accept yourself, flaws and all.
7. Practice mindfulness and concentrate on the here
and now, and not on past problems.
I would just add one more suggestion. A synagogue is a
place where many of those things that foster positive
emotions take place. A synagogue does good things for
other people (our food drive for one example) and
relationships are created and bolstered with other Jews
(who does not enjoy a nice Shabbat lunch together after
services?). With the study of Torah you always learn
something new, and prayer is certainly the place to
practice mindfulness. So I hope to see you more often at
the synagogue and/or at services. With summer right
around the corner it’s a good time to practice all those
things that create positive emotions. And what rabbi
would not want a happier congregation?
Our building is now over 50 years old. We will continue
to need to repair and replace pieces of the building,
make upgrades for security, and make changes to take
advantage of new technology. All of this takes funding.
Please keep this in mind when considering where your
charitable contributions go.
L’Shalom,
Ken

New Bedford USY
Over the course of this year, New Bedford USY has
made it a goal to be more active and engaging than in
past years. On a recent Saturday night, we had a fun
laser gate event with people from New Bedford as well
from outside the chapter. Everyone in attendance had a
marvelous time, and the USY team even won a game!
Simple Saturday night outings like this one are annual
traditions that we hope to keep alive for many years to
come. Just a few hours of laser tag along with some
tasty ice cream proved to be a great success. It’s great
events like this one that show what USY is all about and
keep USYers wanting to come back for more.
We are also working with OSS to revitalize a section of
the TI property to transform it into an outdoor classroom
to enrich the lives of students and beautify our
Synagogue. At the same time, we are finishing up a
process to have a Sofer repair some of our damaged
Torahs. All of these projects represent TI’s ongoing
resolve to create a space where are community can
grow and build a vibrant future. I hope that you will join
us in our undertaking. As always, we are eager to hear
from anyone with suggestions, and welcome all of our
members to attend our events, and perhaps even work
with us in planning and enacting ways we can grow and
flourish. After all, we are here already, it is important for
that to mean something.
The next upcoming USY event is Spring Convention,
held at the Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Milford, MA.
Spring convention is NERUSY’s annual convention that
brings Jewish teens together from all over New England
for a weekend of fun and great memories. This year,
Spring Convention is co-chaired by our own Julia Levin.
She and her fellow co-chair, with the regional board,
have been working hard to make the weekend amazing.
New Bedford USY is excited for what is to come, and
proud to announce that we are sending the most
delegates to this convention that we have in the last five
years. This year’s spring convention will be a great time
and we can’t wait to bring back great news about the
awards we’ve won and the great memories we’ve made.
Best,

regardless of the family’s Jewish background,
knowledge, or observance.
It’s been a very busy school year at the Ziskind School. I
am so proud to be a part of it because not only are we a
school, we are a community. We support each other and
lift each other up when needed. We share ideas, recipes,
laughter, and stories. We especially share mitzvot and
learning. Thank you especially to an amazing teaching
staff. Without their constant planning and doing, our
school would not be what it is today Thank you Sarah

PJ Library doesn't need to tell you that reading to your
children is important. Study after study has shown it
impacts a child’s development. Even the mere presence
of books in a home increases the level of education they
can reach. (Great news for those of us who haven’t
gotten around to cleaning out the playroom in a while.)

Torah Fund
Holocaust Observance
Torah Fund took shape in the minds of our leaders more
than sixty-five years ago with the establishment of a
scholarship fund, and the campaign continues today as a
source of scholarship funding for students at the Jewish
Theological Seminary. The Torah Fund Mission gives
every person an opportunity to participate in preserving,
promoting, and perpetuating Conservative/Masorti
Judaism through active giving to the Torah Fund
Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism
in support of JTS, the Ziegler School of Rabbinic
Studies, Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, and the
Seminario Rabínico Latinoamericano.
The Holocaust Education and Memorial Committee of
the Jewish Federation of Greater New Bedford has been
an active interfaith committee of the Jewish Federation
for over 30 years. We are proud of our mission of
educating students and the community about the
Holocaust.
This year’s theme was “Lessons from Elie Wiesel and
other Survivors” and so, on April 23rd we held the
annual Yom HaShoah observance. Our hard-working
committee was honored by carrying candles from the
Holocaust Monument to the synagogue where our guest
speaker, Rabbi Joseph Polak, child survivor of Bergen
Belsen, spoke about his friendship with Elie Wiesel at
Boston University and about his own experiences. At
the reception following the program Rabbi Polak signed
copies of his book, ”After the Holocaust the Bells Still
Ring.” There were wonderful art displays by the students
of Debbie Coderre from Bristol Aggie, displays of the
students of Professor Ilana Offenberger from UMass
Dartmouth as well as pictures of the stamp project from
the charter school in Attleboro.
We are proud of the work the women at Tifereth Israel
Congregation have done over the past 37 years for our
Torah Fund Campaign. This year the Torah Fund
Campaign culminated with the 37th Annual Sylvia Fund
Study Day and Luncheon on Thursday, May 25, 2017.
This year we were proud to welcome a dynamic leader,
Rabbi Ron Fish from Temple Israel in Sharon, as our
guest speaker. At the luncheon, following Rabbi Fish’s
study session, we honored our Light of Torah, Woman of
Distinction recipient, Phyllis Bornstein who was
recognized for her devotion to Torah, Service (Avodah)
and Gimilut Hasadim (Deeds of Lovingkindness).
We also support the Holocaust Center at Bristol
Community College which has had wonderful programs
throughout the year.
We thank our wonderful committee for all their help:
Mary Franklin, Marsha Onufrak, Barbara Gotlib, Susan
Barnet and Maureen Deneault.
This fall, for the commemoration of Kristallnacht, on
Sunday November 5th we will welcome Glenn Kurtz to
Tifereth Israel who will speak on his book, “Three
Minutes in Poland.”
By contributing to Torah Fund, we help to support the
vision of sustaining the Jewish Community for the future.
If anyone is interested in helping or joining our
committee, please let Michelle Poirier know. We look
forward to hearing from you.

Tribute Opportunities
There are many recognition opportunities in our kehillah (congregation) to honor or memorialize somebody.
Tree of Life
As one enters Founders Hall from the front doors, our Tree of Life plaque can be found on the left,
just before the hallway to the Chapel and Small Hall. An engraved leaf can be purchased and mounted
on the tree for $1,000 for a large leaf, or $500 for a small leaf.
Yahrzeit Plaque
The Tifereth Israel Yahrzeit plaques can be found in the back of the Sanctuary, left side (as one faces the bima). It is
traditional to honor the memory of a family member with a plate on the plaque after his or her passing.
Engraved yahrzheit plates can be purchased for $350.
The plate will hang on the plaque during the Hebrew anniversary month of your loved one’s passing.
Building Fund
Plates are available to be mounted on the plaques on the right side (as one enters the building through the front doors)
of Founders Hall. Prices for engraved plates range from $1,200 to $20,000, depending on the size of the plate.
See Ken for details.
Outdoor Column
For the ultimate way to honor someone, engraving of an outdoor column (in the front of the synagogue) can be
purchased by an individual or a group of individuals for $100,000. There are only two such opportunities left..
Shopping Amazon
If you’re an Amazon shopper, please
remember to start your shopping experience
by going to Amazon through the link on the
left side of our web page. Tifereth Israel
receives a portion of the revenue, and it
costs you, the buyer, nothing additional.

Minyan Breakfast Club
A special group has come to pray
Rain or shine we dare not stray
Weekdays we’re there at the crack of dawn
When all join in and even yawn
We count our participants, both women and men
At 7:15 we’re not eight, nine or ten
Together for yahrzeits, for Kaddish, and more
We pray for our loved ones that Hashem will restore
Thanking G’d for all that we know
Starting each day with prayer books in tow
Then at 8 am or even before, one thing is for sure
We exit the chapel and walk out the door
Reciting motze before anything else
Before bagels, cream cheese and even lox
Before starting discussions of Braves and Sox
Deep questions of Rabbi and Cantor ensure
But not before a laugh or two.
Please join us for a lovely breakfast as Abe Brand said
L’Dor Va D’Or continues the thread

Programming Committee
Membership Committee
The Programming Committee of Tifereth Israel
continues to meet on a monthly schedule to plan
activities for the congregation year. We have
organized Friday evening Dor v’Dor services with pot
luck dinners, Havdallah campfires, congregational
dinners and other activities. We continue to seek ways
to provide interesting activities for our congregation
and will gladly accept suggestions. If you are
interested in being part of this committee, please get in
touch with Dot Aghai.
The Membership Committee meets on a monthly
schedule to discuss ways to attract new members as well
as retain our current members. We have been very
fortunate to have welcomed a significant number of new
members over the past several years and hope to
continue with the pattern. Our very best resources are
YOU! If you know of unaffiliated people in the area, let us
know so we can reach out to them. Also, if you are
interested in being part of the Membership Committee,
please let us know—contact Dot Aghai. Our meetings
are TERRIFIC!

TI Benefit on Buying a Home in Greater Boston
Ready to See Israel?
Do you have a friend or family member looking for a
home in Boston or its suburbs? By working with Harry
Silverstein (617-440-1744 or [email protected]) a
portion of the commission proceeds will go to Tifereth
Israel. You can help your friend or family member find a
great home, and help TI at the same time! Make sure
that they tell Harry that the referral came from TI.
Tifereth Israel last ran a trip to
Israel in 2008. We’d like to
explore whether there is
enough interest to once again
have a T.I. trip to Israel, time
frame to be determined. If
you’re interested in exploring
the possibility of going, please
contact the office and let us
know. If there’s enough of a
critical mass, then we’ll hold
an organizational meeting to discuss what we’d like to
do.
