Whether at Bread and Torah on Saturday

one of the myriad adult ed offerings we
have, or through our religious school, or
at one of many family programs, we learn
Torah together. We explore the depth and
breadth of Jewish tradition – everything
from cooking, to mysticism, to civil
rights to Broadway, to Israel. Our lives are
richer and more meaningful because we
participate in a conversation that spans
centuries.

From the Rabbi
I really can’t imagine my life without
synagogue and Jewish community. I hope
you can’t either. But, if perhaps you look
at this list and say, “Well, there is nothing
here that interests me,” I would ask you
to consider the following questions:
do you think an institution that does
the things listed above should exist in
Woodbridge, CT? Should the Jewish sick
be visited? Should Jewish children have a
place to learn Judaism? Should there be
a community where people celebrate and
mourn together? If the answer is yes, then
the reason to support this synagogue and
to make sure it is here for generations to
come is obvious.
Last week the JCC, as all of you know,
suffered a terrible fire. Thank goodness
no one was hurt, but the damage to the
building will take a long time to assess
and repair. Within less than 24 hours of
the fire, staff from the JCC was onsite at
B’nai Jacob, figuring out if we could move
Yeladim, the day care center, here. Over
the course of three days, moving trucks
arrived; furniture came and went; rooms
were childproofed; inspectors inspected,
and by Friday morning at 7am we opened
our doors to 80 children who found a new
temporary home at our synagogue.
That is what community is about. We
all should be proud to be part of this
community. We should all know how
lucky we are that the people who came
before us had the vision to build this
wonderful place. We should make sure
that we do our part so that generations
hence, Jews will continue to find kehilla,
sacred community, here.
Let Us Know
Rabbi Shapiro is eager to visit
congregants in the hospital but can’t
go if she doesn’t know. If you or
someone you know is in the hospital
or sick at home and would appreciate
a pastoral visit, please let us know.

Board Notes
Endowment Fund Update
Endowment Fund’s Importance
The B’nai Jacob Endowment Fund is vital for the current and future success and survival of our synagogue. Over the years, on
behalf of the committee of trustees, I have written articles on the various ways you can participate to ensure the long-term viability
of B’nai Jacob. We’re getting better, but it’s still not enough. Collectively, we need to support the Endowment Fund not only while
we are alive, but also in our estate planning. A strong and successful endowment will help ease both the short-term and long-term
financial burdens of the synagogue’s operating budget.
Thank you to those who have already contributed and have included the Endowment Fund in your estate plans. For those who
haven’t had the opportunity yet, I invite you to contact me, our Office Manager, Lynn Estra or any of the other trustees with any
questions or comments.
As I’ve already mentioned, the Endowment Fund plays a critical role in B’nai Jacob’s annual budget, contributing $85,882.58 in fiscal
2015-2016. This crucial revenue source has the significant challenge of trying to remain stable or even grow during a period of
record low interest rates. As the needs of an aging infrastructure increase over time along with declining membership, so will the
reliance on the Endowment Fund.
Endowment Fund Investment Overview
The Endowment Fund is run by a committee of trustees elected at the annual meeting by synagogue members in attendance. The
trustees have chosen to hire a professional investment advisor who assists with overall asset allocation as well as institutionalized
our investment process by diversifying the fund not only among asset classes (stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities), but also
with different strategies, levels of risk and time horizons.
As of September 30, 2016, the B’nai Jacob Endowment Fund is:
•
Valued at $3,064,704, an all-time high
•
Assets allocated 56% Fixed Income, 39% Equity, 5% Alternatives
•
Invested in 12 independent strategies plus two loans to B’nai Jacob

The B’nai Jacob Endowment Fund currently sits at all time high, before donations are taken into account. As the synagogue’s need
for funds continues to grow, along with the fact that all dividends and interest are transferred from the fund to the operating
account, it has been challenging at times to be able to deliver our goal of absolute returns, stability, and sufficient income in a longterm, record low interest rate environment. The investment process currently in place is sound and should deliver respectable longterm results to B’nai Jacob.
Our Endowment Fund, your Endowment Fund, continues to grow, contribute, and be successful because of the hard work and
dedication of the current committee of trustees as well as their predecessors and our professional investment advisor, Paul Schatz.
I want to thank them along with my predecessor, Allen Lipson, for making my job so much easier.

A Note from Malachi
Cantor Malachi Kanfer
The death of
Leonard Cohen in
early November
deeply affected
me. His poetry
and music has
comforted,
challenged, and
intrigued me
since my first
introduction
to him as a teenager. In 2010, taking a
break from college and nursing a broken
heart, I remember sitting in a yurt at an
avocado farm in California, listening
to Leonard Cohen and regaining the
strength to go out and pick avocados, and
eventually return to college! Like liturgy,
my connection with his words have
grown as I have grown, too. An observant
Jew, Cohen would have been a fantastic
liturgist. His songs are quests for truth,
testaments of human frailty and mortality,
and ballads of praise - all the while being
unafraid of discomforting or unsettling
feelings. It's the stuff of great liturgy. In
the recent congregational album, I used
Pet Blessings
his “If It Be Your Will” as an introduction
to the Kol Nidre liturgy. His most recent
album, “You Want it Darker,” released
weeks before his death, is a powerful,
searingly beautiful and Jewish work in
which Cohen unflinchingly contemplates
his impending death. On the title track,
Cohen proclaims “hineni” - here I am, the
call of our biblical patriarchs- “I'm ready,
my Lord.” Cantor Gideon Zellermeyer
echoes Cohen at the end of the track,
supported by his choir. The rest of the
album continues on similar themes. As
clergy, death and illness is an ever present
force in my life, and I draw inspiration and
resolve from talking with the terminally
ill, who face death with grace, courage and
love. Cohen faced his death in the same
way.
And so, a quick plug: Barry Zaret and I
will be presenting a program on Leonard
Cohen, his life, his music and poetry on
Saturday, April 29th at 4 pm. Please mark
it in your calendars!
This fall, we had a special event for our pets, giving blessings for a year of
good health and relationships with the humans who care about them.

Be a Minyan Maker!
At B’nai Jacob we are proud to have
services each morning at 7:45am
(9:30am on Sundays) and each
evening at 6:00pm. It takes less than
a half hour to perform this important
mitzvah. This is essential for those
who are saying Kaddish after the loss
of a loved one or on the anniversary
of the loss of a loved one. A minyan
is necessary for the recitation of
Kaddish. More participants are
needed at morning and evening
services. Please help make the
minyan by performing this mitzvah!
Thank you!

Religious School
Eight activities for the eight nights of Hanukkah!
That was the challenge for our school-wide program on the last Sunday before break. The children learned about and celebrated
Hanukkah by doing various interactive tasks of their choice. Some were challenging, some were creative, some were tasty... and all
were fun! Run by teachers, madrichim, parents, 7th graders, and our Israeli emissary, these activites gave each student a chance to:
Make a Hanukkiah
Play a Hanukkah memory game
Unscramble the words of candle blessings
Make (and eat) an edible dreidel
Dig up and decode ancient pottery
Create aa 3-D dreidel
Eat a latke
Play a game of Maccabian gaga
Throughout the morning, we heard
music by Tzvi and Cantor Malachi;
and the program ended with the ever
popular game of Hanukkah-style ‘Coke
and Pepsi.’ Special thanks to Adam
Dworkin for organizing the latkes, and
to all the parents who helped cook,
serve, run an activity, clean up, or just
came to
enjoy the
morning
with your
child.

Sundays
We learned so much about Judaism these past two months! We learned about Noah’s
Ark, Shabbat, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, tzedakah, Hebrew letters, and more. We
learned with books, and with puzzles; with songs, and with food; with artwork, and

Theater + Community + Ken
A Celebration = a resounding success!
December 3, 2016 marked a very special night in the history of Congregation B’nai Jacob. This celebration of Ken Sperling’s legacy
on BJ Players left a lasting impression on all 275+ in attendance. For the creative and production team, committees and synagogue
staff who worked for months putting this production together, the resulting effort, was a true labor of love. Guided by Ken’s love of
theater, B’nai Jacob, and community, this show included live narration, film clips, photos, skits, songs, and memories that recaptured
the emotions, excitement, music, magic, and ruach of the 25-year Ken/BJP era.
Looking back, every individual who was part of this remarkable event is still, “taking it all in.” And from all accounts, the
overwhelmingly positive energy of the evening still reverberates in our heads and in our hearts.
“Classy," "tasteful," "hit just the right note," "moving," and “creative" --were the
most frequent buzzwords
and compliments we
received. The cast,
creators, and crew
remain humbled by these
accolades. Yet, we also
feel blessed to have been
part of something this
genuine, loving, joyous…
and successful.
Applause, bows, and
curtain calls all around!!

Social Action
Social Action
by Gary Leibowitz
I have decided to become a chairman of
the Social Action Committee. I have been
a member for several years, and my major
responsibility has been our efforts for the
homeless, specifically, Abraham’s Tent.
For those of you who don’t know
what Abraham’s Tent is, here is a brief
explanation: The religious organizations
in the area get together and house a
total of twelve men and women for the
winter. The people spend a week at each
institution. We partner with Spring Glen
Congregational Church in Hamden. See
right column for more about this.
The other thing that our committee has
been doing is the Mitzvah Garden. We
plant and care for vegetables in a garden at
B’nai Jacob. It is across from the entrance
to Ezra. When we harvest the crops, we
bring them to local food banks. There are
a lot of food banks in the area. I have been
bringing food to the Seymour Food Bank.
Every time I bring something there, they
are extremely grateful. They don’t get a lot
of fresh vegetables to offer to their clients.
This is another easy effort that gives you a
smile on your face, and you do a mitzvah
for others.
The name of our committee could
easily be called the Mitzvah Committee.
Everything that we do is a mitzvah
for someone. Doing mitzvahs is our
obligation as Jews. There are many ways

We have been supplying volunteers to
the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen
for years. Kal Watsky is our coordinator
in this mitzvah. The second Sunday
of each month is our turn. We report
there at 4:30pm and have completed our
volunteering by 6:00pm. We start by
standing behind a table and serving the
people. After dinner has been served, we
wash the tables where the people have
eaten, stack the chairs, and finally sweep
the floor. That is it. Not much to do, but
what a feeling it gives you to help those
that so desperately need our help.

Call me; email me; stop me when you see
me; just get my attention. I need all of
you to get involved. I just want all of you

Dates: Jan 23 through Jan 30
We need dinners, breakfasts, lunch bags,
gift cards, and people willing to spend all
or at least part of a night at Spring Glen
to keep the homeless company. There are
both men and woman in the homeless
program.
Volunteers are also needed:
To help serve the homeless dinners at the
overflow shelter. They need volunteers
every night.
To help Columbus House on one night in
January, when they attempt to count all
the homeless in New Haven. It is only a
one day event. There will probably be a
few hours of training one day before the
event. We will be working alongside a
Columbus House Social Worker.
