I have an invita-

tion and a chal-

lenge for us as we

approach Passover this year. I hope you

will accept it. It is an invitation to join

me for a project during the week of March

17 to 23.

There is a statement in the Torah that

appears many times that is connected

to Passover: “You shall not oppress the

stranger, for you know what it feels like to

be a stranger, for you were once strangers

in the land of Egypt.” And there is a state-

ment from the rabbis that appears in the

Haggadah: “In every generation we must

see ourselves as if we personally were

among those who left Egypt.”

I must tell you that I have a little trou-

ble observing this commandment, since,

for the most part I really do not know what

it feels like to be a stranger, and I really do

not know what it felt like to be an Israelite

on my way out of Egypt. You see, on Shab-

bat and for other events, I wear a suit and

tie; but the stranger, the outsider, the poor

person in our midst, may not have a suit to

wear, even on special occasions. My prob-

lem is watching my diet and not eating too

much; but the stranger, at least the way it

is understood in the Torah, the stranger’s

problem is getting enough food to eat, or

enough food with which to feed his fam-

ily. So how can I really understand what it

feels like to be a stranger? An outsider…?

Recently someone came up with an idea

for how we can identify with the stranger

and the poor. The idea is to take what is

called the Food Stamp Challenge. That

means to agree to spend no more on food

for a week than what the poor receive in

food stamps. The United Synagogue of

Conservative Judaism, the Religious Action

Center of the Reform movement, Mazon: A

Jewish Response to Hunger, and a number

of other Jewish organizations have gotten

together to sponsor the weeklong Food

Stamp Challenge. They are urging people in

public life to agree to spend on food only

what the poor get in food stamps in order

to experience what their life is like. Those

who have taken the challenge report that

they now have a new understanding for

those who have to live on food stamps—

not just for a week, but every day of their

lives.

What better week to do this than the

one before Passover? Those who take the

challenge, well, at the end of week, they

can go back to their old habits if they like,

but the poor, the stranger, this is their

daily reality. Did you know that there are

45.7 million Americans who are on food

stamps? Did you know that one in every six

American families is now living in hunger?!

Congress, which is struggling to control a

deficit that is now out of control, is con-

sidering a bill to cut the amount of money

that it will allocate for food stamps. I also

wonder if you know how much is allocated

for a person for food stamps for a week? It

is $31.50. That is the total.

Should you take the Food Stamp Chal-

lenge? It is not for me to say. So here is

my invitation. There is no holiday that re-

minds us that we were strangers more than

Passover. So my plan this year is that the

week before Passover, March 17, I will take

the Food Stamp Challenge, to “remember”

what it feels like…

And I am hoping not to take this chal-

lenge alone. I am hoping you will accept

my invitation and take the challenge with

me. If you are tempted, you can go to www.

foodstampchallenge.com and you will find

all the information you need to sign up for

this program. And if you do, you will be

among those who take on the mitzvah to

empathize with the stranger and the poor,

because we, you and I, were once strangers

in the land of Egypt.

I am not a nutritionist, so I cannot tell

you whether this diet is good for your

body or not, but this I know: it is surely

good for your soul, for it helps you fulfill

the mitzvah that is found in today’s sedra

(Mishpatim), and which is found so many

other times in the Torah.

So, if you decide to take on this diet, go

to the website, find out more and then let

me know, and I pray that you will receive

G-d’s blessings for the good deed that you

do.

Chag Sameach, Rabbi David Nesson

Will You Take the Food Stamp Challenge?A New Way to Prepare for Passover


In a few weeks

we will all gather

around seder tables

with family, friends,

fellow congregants and, yes, strangers (for we

were once strangers in the land of Egypt) to

celebrate our freedom and our beginnings as

a people. When we open our Haggadahs, we

retell of our journey from slavery to freedom,

as we passed through the Red Sea into a new

life and bound for the land of our Fathers and

our own destiny.

“We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt,

and G-d brought us out with a strong hand

and an outstretched arm.”

We were free to follow the mitzvot re-

ceived from G-d at Sinai; we were free to

worship and give thanks for the world that

we could now experience with open eyes

and a lev hadash (a new heart). From our

days of wandering in the desert to the

present day 21st century, we established

communities both in the land of Israel and

wherever our destinies brought us.

In our desires to emulate the Master of

the Universe with strong hands, we built

houses of study and places of worship.

With outstretched arms we welcomed all,

both friend and stranger alike, into our

homes and our hearts. Again, using the

Haggadah as our model, we reach out to

those who are hungry; let them come and

eat, and to those who are in need, we will

help them fill their souls and heal their

bodies.

For generations, the founders and fami-

lies that make up MJCBY have strived in

good times and bad to do exactly what is

expected of us. We pave the pathways for

our children’s children, and when needed

reach out of our arms to those who made

this our home today. We need you all to be

our strong hands to build, mend, and en-

hance our building, schools, and programs.

We need you, one and all, to open your

arms and hearts to generate the warmth

that one feels upon entering our doors and

walking the hallways of history.

You can be part of this in many ways:

Join a committee, help work on an

event, come with your ideas for innova-

tion, and give what you can to keep us

strong and vital.

We, our strong hands and outstretched

arms—we grow and we prosper.

Help make MJCBY the Morristown Jewish

Center B’Yachad (TOGETHER).

Have a zissen Pesach, Gerry

Passover Instructions for Preparation

This year Pesach begins at sundown,

Monday, March 25. The Fast of the First-

born, or siyyum, is at 6:45 am on Mon-

day, March 25. A siyyum (conclusion of

the study of a portion of the rabbinic lit-

erature) is held at the conclusion of the

morning minyan, followed by a seudah

shel mitzvah so that the firstborn may eat.

Bedikat Chametz (the search for cha-

metz) occurs on Sunday evening, March 24.

The chametz should be burned by 11:30

am on Monday, March 25. The stove should

be koshered for Passover and all cooking

done using Passover pots and utensils.

FoodsLabels and tags marked “Kosher

L’Pesach” are of no value unless they bear

a rabbinic signature. This also applies to

products manufactured and grown in Is-

rael.

Forbidden for use: leavened bread,

cakes, biscuits and crackers, cereals, wheat

oats, barley, rice, dry beans and peas, and

all liquids, which contain ingredients or

flavors made from grain alcohol.

Permitted for use requiring NO “Kosher

L’Pesach” label in unopened packages

or containers: natural coffee, tea, sugar,

salt, pepper, vegetables (except peas and

beans)

Permitted for use if certified for Pass-

over use by a competent rabbinical au-

thority: flour, Passover noodles, candies,

cakes, beverages, canned and processed

foods, milk, butter, cheese, jams, jellies,

relishes, dried fruit, salads, oils, vegetable

gelatin, shortenings, wines, vinegar and

liquors.

Dishes and UtensilsOnly dishes and utensils specifically re-

served for Passover should be used with

the following exceptions:

Table silverware made wholly of metal, if

used during the year, may be used on Pass-

over if thoroughly scoured and immersed

in boiling water. Table glasses may be used

after scouring. Fine chinaware, if not used

for a year is permitted.

Metal pots and pans used for cooking

purposes only (but not for baking) if made

wholly of metal though not used during

the year, may be used on Passover if first

thoroughly scoured and immersed in boil-

ing water.

Utensils used for baking during the year

cannot be used during Passover. Earthen-

ware, enamelware and porcelain utensils

used during the year may not be used dur-

ing Passover.

The stove is prepared for Passover by

thoroughly scrubbing and cleansing all

parts and turning on the full flame in the

bake oven with all the grates in the oven.

A dishwasher may be used after thor-

oughly scouring with boiling water and

the use of a new tray.

PassoverWe begin our Passover seder with the words, “Let all who are hungry enter and eat.” Again this year, Mazon: A Jewish Response to

Hunger asks you to give meaning and life to those ancient words by letting one who is hungry enter and eat. A gift to Mazon of

Chai ($18) or whatever you would spend to invite one extra person to your seder, will bring food, help and hope to poor and hungry

people in our own country, in Israel and around the world.

As we celebrate our freedom during Passover, we must remember those millions still enslaved by hunger and poverty. In a world with

more than enough food to feed everyone, we can work toward a day when everyone has enough food.

P A S S O V E R F U N D – M A O T C H I T T I MJews are particularly mindful of needy fellow Jews during Pesach. A Maot Chittim (money for wheat) fund is distributed to those in need. This year’s dollars will be sent to Mazon. Please make your contribution payable to the MJCBY Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund.

she is called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah

on Saturday, March 2, 2013.

Lilly is a seventh grader at Old Turnpike

Middle School in Oldwick, where she has

been a member of the field hockey team for

the past two years. Lillian is also a mem-

ber of the school vocal ensemble and cho-

rus. She is very committed to the theatre

arts and had been performing for years on

stage. A member of the YPW theatre work-

shop within the halls of Centenary College

in Hackettstown, Lilly has found her niche.

She has been cast in many plays including:

“Camelot,” “The King and I,” “The Clown,”

“Count To Ten”—written by her acting di-

rector, “Over the Moon,” “Pippin,” “Hello

Dolly,” and her first lead role as Hortense

the French maid in “The Boyfriend.”

A dancer since the age of three, Lilly has

committed herself to the art of dance with

lots of intense practice as a member of the

New Jersey School of Ballet. This enabled

her to be cast in two roles with the NJSB’s

“Nutcracker,” the state’s longest-running

original professional production.

Lilly also enjoys drawing, going to Camp

Harlam, reading, spending time at the Jer-

sey Shore, hanging out with friends, cook-

ing, and playing with her guinea pig Lila

and her dog Daisy.

Lilly chose to do a couple of Mitzvah

projects. For one project, Lilly decided to

use her love of drawing and combine it

with a cause she was passionate about—

the welfare of animals. She created several

charcoal drawings of endangered animals

registered with the WWF and created note-

cards to sell to raise money for the World

Wildlife Foundation. Proceeds will go di-

rectly to the foundation.

Her second Mitzvah project was to com-

bine short essays and narratives about

the Holocaust from her point of view.

She hopes to make a connection to the

young people who have heard about the

Holocaust and share her thoughts and im-

ages with the older generations who know

about it already. Hopefully, these will be

seen at the Holocaust exhibit at the JCC

in Whippany.

We are so proud of Lilly and admire all

that she has accomplished in her life. We

wish her well as she accepts this rite of

passage and continues her journey into her

Judaism—inward, upward, and outward.

Lilly would like to thank Rabbi Nesson,

Cantor Yucht, and her religious school

teachers for not only preparing her for

this day, but for also helping to shape and

guide her on her Jewish journey.

It is our pleasure to share in celebration

with our congregation, friends, and fam-

ily on this occasion of Lilly’s Bat Mitzvah.

Mazel Tov!

Jeanne and David Stifelman would like

to invite the congregation to share

their happiness when their daughter, Jac-

quie Stifelman, is called to the Torah as a

Bat Mitzvah on Saturday March 9, 2013.

Jacquie is a seventh-grade honors student

at Randolph Middle School, where she en-

joys choreographing, dancing,singing and

acting in the amazing musical produc-

tions. When Jacquie is not in school, she

is a passionate, talented and dedicated

dancer who competes locally, regionally

and nationally. She also is a Randolph

Bulldog Cheerleader. Jacquie enjoys an ac-

tive social life, music, skiing, traveling and

spending time with friends and family.

For her Mitzvah project, Jacquie was

honored to meet and hang out with Jea-

nette Epstein, an amazing woman who is

a long-time member of MJCBY and resident

of Merry Heart Assisted Living. Jacquie

felt incredibly fortunate to have met and

gotten to know Mrs. Epstein. In addition,

she collected dance costumes at Heartbeat

Dance Center to donate to the Neighbor-

hood House Dance Program in Morristown

and Dover.

Jacquie and her family are excited to

celebrate this important and beautiful

simcha with family and friend at Morris-

town Jewish Center.

Stacey and Brad Bolnick are so proud

of their daughter Gillian Rose Bolnick,

who will be called to the Torah as a Bat

Mitzvah on Saturday March 9, 2013.

A seventh grader at Randolph Middle

School, Gillian is an artist who enjoys

sculpting and drawing. She makes poly-

mer sculptures and sells them at various

functions to raise money for animals in

need, donating more than $300 so far. Gil-

lian just had a chance to teach her own

after-school art class at Ironia Elementary

School. She was able to teach the young

children how to make there own creations.

They all so thrilled with their projects.

Gillian enjoys musical theatre, acting

and singing, and she has written, directed

and starred in independent short films.

Gillian attends summer camp at Island

Lake, a sleep away camp in Pennsylvania.

A six-year camper, Gillian spends time in

art and riding the mini clown bike in the

circus show. She also enjoys spending time

with her brothers and loves when she can

get together with her out-of-town family

and friends.

Gillian is so thankful to the Cantor and

the Rabbi for helping her get ready for this

special day. She also thanks her Hebrew

teacher for making Hebrew school so en-

joyable.

Debbie and Danny Feuerstein are thrilled

to invite the congregation, family, and

friends to join us in celebrating our son

Joseph (Joey) Charles Feuerstein as a Bar

Mitzvah on Saturday, March 16, 2013.

Joey is a seventh-grade honors student

at Harding Township Middle School. He

enjoys playing competitive travel baseball

(he is a pitcher and first baseman), soc-

cer, and basketball. Joey has won various

sports championships and really enjoys

participating in organized sports and be-

ing with his teammates. He also likes play-

ing various other sports on a recreational

level. Besides sports, Joey enjoys hiking,

biking, swimming, bass fishing at his

grandma’s lake in upstate New York, read-

ing, playing with his brothers, and hang-

ing out with his friends. Joey also enjoys

his summers at Camp Harlam (sleepaway

camp in Pennsylvania). He attends with

many of his MJCBY friends whom he has

known for many years at the temple’s re-

ligious school. Joey’s Jewish identity has

definitely been strengthened by attending

the camp. Listening to him and his MJCBY

friends recite the blessings after attending

camp is truly music to our ears!

For his Mitzvah project, Joey worked

alongside his Uncle Dave (who has a party

business in New York) and helped put on

various shows for children with special

needs. Whether he was playing Elmo at a

home for children with autism or Mickey

Mouse at a hospital with children bat-

tling cancer, Joey brought so much joy and

laughter to all! One child hugged Joey dur-

ing a show and said, “Elmo, after seeing

you on TV for years, I always dreamed of

meeting you in person!” On the ride home,

Joey exclaimed, “Mom, it feels so good

making these kids feel so happy!!” That is

the true meaning of a Mitzvah Project.

Joey has been at MJCBY basically his

whole life. He started at 2 years old in

the Judie Gerstein Shalom Yeladim nursery

school and has always identified strongly

with our shul. It is hard to believe he is

becoming a Bar Mitzvah. Joey is a great

boy who always makes us proud in all the

things that he does and especially for the

kind, caring young man he has become.

Joey would like to thank Rabbi Nesson,

Cantor Yucht, Morah Halpern, and all of his

religious school teachers who have helped

and supported him during his journey to

this special day. It is with great happiness

and pride that we look forward to sharing

Joey’s special day with the congregation.

Family News


Passover has always been a favorite

holiday. It is a time to gather with

family and friends. It is a time to connect

with past generations by following tradi-

tions like finding the afikomen, dipping

your finger into the wine glass and letting

drops fall on your plate, and asking the

Four Questions. Passover connects us to

our past, instructs us to teach our future

generations, and reminds us of many im-

portant concepts.

Passover reminds us of freedom. The

idea of freedom is important to discuss

with your family during this holiday. Most

people who were born in this country find

it hard to imagine living without freedom.

Some people even take it for granted. Dur-

ing Passover, if you have family members

who remember living in a place where they

were not free to live or pray or work as they

wanted, have them tell your child about

their experience. Once we were slaves, but

now we are free—we must never forget to

cherish our freedom and fight so that oth-

ers, too, may one day be free.

Passover also reminds us that some-

times we need to adjust to change. As

slaves in Egypt, the Jewish people lived

under Pharaoh’s rules for many years. The

idea of change was not easy for them. As

difficult as their life was as slaves, how

could they leave behind everything they

knew to wander to a place completely for-

eign to them? They had to have faith, to

trust their leader, and to hope for a better

time. Passover is a wonderful time to talk

with children about flexibility. Maybe they

don’t love their current teacher or a friend

has moved away, but they will adjust. Per-

haps they didn’t get onto the travel soccer

team or get the lead in the school musical,

but with some faith, they will find a new

path for themselves.

Passover is about hope—hope for a

better place to live and a better future

for generations to come. As Passover ap-

proaches, we will remind our own children

to open their arms to those who are differ-

ent, who might not read as well or speak

as easily, who do not dress in the same

clothing. We will remind our children that

skin color and body type do not dictate

the value of the individual. We will ask our

children to extend kindness to children in

their classes who are sometimes excluded

or teased. We will also remind our children

that freedom means standing up to make

our world a place that is more fair, toler-

ant, and just.

School News


February was a fun month at Shalom

Yeladim. We had Crazy Hat Day, Pic-

ture Day, and our Purim Celebration. The

kindergarten class was very helpful with

planning our Crazy Hat Day and our Purim

Celebration. They came up with the ideas

and the entire school had a great time. A

giant todah rabah to the kindergartners!

The Matzah Factory will be visiting us on

March 18. The children learn so much dur-

ing this program and are able to make their

own matzah. They start with the grain and

take it every step of the way until it is

a fresh piece of matzah right out of the

oven. It is a wonderful way for each of

them to experience part of Passover. They

will also be putting on their Passover reen-

actment on March 21.

We will be wishing a Happy Birthday to

Zachary, Lilly, Sophia, Ari, and Grant!
