Rabbi’s Desk
Rabbi Robert Wolkoff
The megillah reading on Purim is the most raucous moment in the Jewish calendar. The groggers, the costumes, and the booze all contribute to an atmosphere of frivolity and laughter
Which is, in a word, odd, considering the profoundly serious story told in the Book of Esther. It is, after all, the story of a genocide—a narrowly averted genocide, to be sure, but a genocide nonetheless. And the fact that we are prepared to celebrate that “victory” so enthusiastically proves one thing: the Book of Esther is, more than any other book in the Bible, a book written for and about the diaspora. If we do a close reading of this text about life 2400 years ago, we will see how closely it reflects our own experience
Evidence for this can be found in every chapter of the megillah. Let us think first of the position of Esther herself We tend to think of her like Princess Di, living luxuriously in a palace. In fact, she’s closer to Monica Lewinsky, being used and abused by someone in power. And every time we read that she was “taken” to the palace, or “taken” to the king, it should make us shudder. This forces us to think about how vulnerable she was, and how vulnerable we are The gap between what we are forced to do, and what we go along with to take advantage of the situation, can be razor thin. What is the difference, for example, between Esther submitting to a misogynistic pig in his palace and a Jewish professor refusing to defend Israel because it will knock him off the tenure track at his prestigious university? Obviously, the coercion is much more blatant in the case of Esther But both Esther and the professor have to hide their true feelings in order to maintain their status.

Rabbi’s Desk (continued from previous page)
This is consistent with the contrast between Mordechai and Esther. Mordechai is the public Jew, and his stubborn refusal to bow down to Haman, may his name be blotted out, is the immediate trigger for the persecution In contrast, Esther is the hidden Jew, (her name actually means “hidden one”) working behind the scenes to protect her people. Although she succeeds, thank G-d, she also sets in motion a prejudice that echoes to our very day (think Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson, if you can bear it): that sneaky Jews are manipulating the government and pulling the strings in some vast conspiracy referred to as “ZOG” (“Zionist Occupation Government”).
Bottom line: public or private, Jews are guilty
Finally, and most important, after Esther reveals herself and begs the king to stop the pogrom, he doesn’t actually stop it. Instead, he gives the Jews the right to defend themselves. How gracious! This is worth noting, since the right of Jews to selfdefense was, and believe it or not still is, not at all obvious Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur, and Diana Bhutto, Palestinian legal “expert,” both deny that Israel has a right to defend itself. Here in the diaspora, we have to rely on the good graces of others Jews in our ancestral homeland Israel, on the other hand, don’t have to wait for anyone else to give them the green light.
Bottom line: as Faulkner famously said, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” Our wisdom may be ancient, but wisdom has no expiration date. After all she went through, the least we can do is listen to the lessons Esther can teach us
Have a joyous Purim!
Looking Forward
Cantor Bruce Rockman
Looking Forward-taking a positive stand during all times, yes, I’m a half full type of person. Scholarship and learning are so very important in order to have a positive understanding of our Jewish journey. Living a meaningful Jewish life is a gift which nourishes our souls.
We just celebrated Renee and Steve Juro for their lasting & loving contributions to life at B’nai Tikvah. Purim is upon us and Pesach is not far behind, both holidays celebrate our resilience as a people, as the narrative of both of these holidays illustrate, we experienced a great deal of adversity to reach the great milestone celebrations of these joyous holidays Like me, you must remember the noise we made on Purim and those great Seders with generations of your family! We express ourselves best by celebrating with joy, there’s always time for a Simcha.
I am so grateful to my parents for the choices they made while raising me and my brothers and sister, down the road in Metuchen. I pray that Stacey and I are doing nearly as well. My brothers and I attended a local Jewish Day School, then public high school, where we were able to participate in team sports. The youngest our sister, continued her Jewish education through college, I credit her with galvanizing our family’s commitment to Israel. The brothers were always connected, keeping kosher, involved in our temple, college youth groups, passionate sports fans, and during our formative years, each of us became Good Humor men and Hebrew School teachers
We had confidence in our Jewish identity and blended well into local community. It was a different time, BUT, it always is, society’s perceptions and expectations will always evolve. Developing a strong Jewish identity has helped us flourish.
Cantor’s Corner (continued from previous page)
The first rabbi that I knew was Rabbi Hershel Matt z”l in Metuchen. He was a very forward thinker and defined modern Judaism, as I understand it. In the words of the Orthodox Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, "He forced us to consider new possibilities without betraying the tradition or the seriousness of the past He was so kind and his spirit was so touching that he was able to say radical things that nobody else could say and yet get people to open their minds."
What I love and learned from Rabbi Matt’s approach is that Jewish knowledge and practice are necessary, my foundation and having an open mind is critical. Conservative Judaism’s defined approach is “tradition with change”. We need both to thrive. We’re here at B’nai Tikvah to find intellectual and spiritual balance.
The synagogue is a place to gather, to celebrate, and to educate Here we elevate our connections to G-d, immerse ourselves in Israel and its culture and practice loving-kindness, better understanding the world that we share, and loving our brothers and sisters, the Jewish People. Let’s Go!
We Worship, We Elevate, and We Celebrate with Joy, Cantor Bruce Rockman March 3, 2026

The Rabbi Search Committee has been meeting every week with additional contact between members during the week. The members of the Rabbi Search Committee are:
Robbie Aufseeser
Bobbi Binder
Sharon Cohen
Joe Grodman
Irina Irgon
Jessica Marcus
Phyllis Safeer
Steve Wolpert
Marty and Ruth Anne are ex-officio members, along with Scott Kessler, our VP , Administration We will continue to be involved as needed
If you were at the membership meeting on February 1, you learned that after some introductions of the search committee members, Ruth Anne reviewed that Marty, Scott and she drafted parts of the Pulpit Rabbinic Questionnaire to provide the Search Committee with a starting point The Questionnaire is designed for us to identify what we are looking for with some facts about us. Potential applicants read the Questionnaire to learn about our congregation and see if we fit into what they are looking for in their search
Ruth Anne also talked about a conversation she and Marty had with Mindy Block Gordon, who is the Director of Professional Clergy Search & Services/Synagogue Consultant for North America. Mindy is a wealth of information. She provided us with several documents, including the Questionnaire and additional documents to help us with the search and setting up the Search Committee.
We then divided into three breakout sessions: Pastoral Care, Spiritual & Education, and Management & Leadership. Each breakout session was led by a committee member. A different committee volunteer took notes. After about 45 minutes, we came back to one large group in the Sanctuary. Each person who took notes reported back on what the people who attended their session said they wanted in their new Rabbi.
As you read this, the work of the Search Committee is ongoing.
We will keep you posted as developments occur. B’Shalom,
Ruth Anne and Marty

Thinking About What’s Next
It’s hard to believe the end of the school year is already in sight, and I find myself thinking ahead to the year to come. While our classrooms are still buzzing with learning, laughter, and discovery, this is also a season for reflection and planning
Planning for a new school year is a layered and intentional process. It begins with the calendar; carefully looking at the rhythm of the Jewish year, holidays and school breaks, and quickly expanding into shaping the programs and experiences that will fill those days with meaning. The calendar is not simply a framework of dates; it is the foundation upon which our programs are built. Each holiday, gathering and learning opportunity is placed with intention, ensuring that our students experience a year that is engaging and deeply connected to our traditions.
As I reflect on what resonated most strongly this year, I think about where our students were most inspired, where families felt most connected, and how we can continue nurturing curiosity, Jewish identity, and a strong sense of belonging. Program planning and calendar planning go hand in hand as together they create the rhythm and spirit of our school year.
An important part of this preparation is also looking outward. In the coming months, we will host open houses to welcome prospective families into our community. These gatherings are opportunities to share a glimpse of our program, including our values and the warm, supportive environment we strive to create each day. Growing our school is not simply about enrollment; it is about building relationships and strengthening our temple community with intention and care.
If you know a family who may be looking for a meaningful Jewish educational experience for their children, I invite you to send them my way. Personal connections are often the most powerful, and I am always grateful when members of our community help us expand our circle
Although much of this work happens quietly and behind the scenes, it is guided by a clear vision of what our school can continue to become. I am excited to begin shaping another year filled with meaningful learning, joyful experiences, and thoughtful growth for every child who walks through our doors.
L’Shalom,
– Ronit Bivas

Let’s Get Cooking
VP Notes
Scott Kessler,Vice President,Administration
There are few things more special than members of our community gathering in the kitchen chopping, stirring, laughing, and preparing a meal together. We are very pleased to announce that our synagogue kitchen is officially back open for business following significant renovations!
This story begins a while back with a routine fire inspection, when the Fire Marshal informed us that a change in the fire code required the installation of an upgraded hood system above our stove, complete with fire suppression. Until that system was installed, we were very limited in terms of how the stove could be used Around the same time, one of our two sinks developed a leak and became unusable. What began as a couple of isolated issues quickly turned into a major project.
The combined cost of these repairs was substantial—but fortunately, so was our community’s response
We are deeply grateful to:
A longtime member, who stepped forward to spearhead the effort to secure funding and rally support
An anonymous donor, who made a very generous gift specifically earmarked for this project
Our CBT Sisterhood, who made a significant pledge that helped bring us across the finish line
Special thanks also go to our Executive Director Lesley Lewkowicz, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes coordinating multiple vendors including a roofer, plumber, electrician, and fire suppression specialists. After many estimates, weeks of work, and final inspections from the Township, the project was successfully completed
Then it was time for the finishing touches. Our custodian Julio gave the kitchen a thorough deep cleaning, and member Ken Wistreich generously volunteered his time to refresh the space by patching and priming the walls, applying a new coat of paint, and completing several other repairs
Thanks to the dedication and generosity of so many, our kitchen is once again fully functional and ready to serve our community. Whether it’s Sisterhood events, holiday preparations, family programs, or simply gathering to cook together, we look forward to seeing (and tasting!) all that will come out of this renewed space
So… who’s ready to get cooking?
Guest Column
Jessica Marcus
On this Momentous Transition:
Anyone who is a regular at Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat services has probably seen me, my wife Liz, and our three children (ages 3 to 8) show up sporadically. The melodies, the length, and the patience of the regular attendees, makes it an ideal service for our family. We’ve always had good experiences. But I wanted to share our experience this past Friday evening because I consider it a milestone for our family, within the context of a milestone for the larger synagogue community
We arrived a little late, the kids need to be fed beforehand, we need to clear the table, usher children into the car, verify everyone has both shoes, a coat, a kippah It’s a little chaotic. We walked in as a family and sat up front (I’m a back row kind of gal, but my children like the front, so that’s where we go). I had the two boys with me and Liz and our daughter sat directly behind. Our roles in shul have become well defined over the years. I show the kids the right page, help them follow along with my finger, add commentary and demonstrate davening as best I can with one eye on the siddur and the other on a kid. Liz is the nose wiper, the restroom taker, the water fountain chaperone, the soft toys basket monitor. She does the mothering so I can do the chinuch (Jewish education).
But now these roles might become more flexible. Because within 10 seconds of sitting down I heard, completely to my surprise and straight to the heart of my little Jewish soul, my wife, who was not raised Jewish and does not read any Hebrew, singing along Never have our children heard her say a single tefillah in Hebrew in Shul While we have transliterated Kiddush and Birchas HaMazon cards at home, never has Liz been able to participate in the vast majority of a B’nai Tikvah service. And now, suddenly, all that has changed thanks to the new Siddur Lev Shalem.
(Continued
(Continued from previous page)
Therefore, I wanted to briefly but publicly express our thanks as a family to Cantor, Gordon Heit and the ritual committee, Rabbi, and Lesley for their efforts in the search, purchase and implementation of the new siddurim. I also wanted to acknowledge the growing pains for many in the community as we learn the new format, new page numbers and maybe mourn the old faithful siddurs. Change is never easy and will be harder for some than others. But the reality of our Kehilla is that a larger and larger percentage of members, for one reason or another, cannot read Hebrew But they are our members, our friends, our spouses and now make up the majority of parents to our religious school children. So, we the eternally evolving while also upholding Jewish faithful, have made this huge step towards inclusivity, for which we should collectively be very proud. And now, should you run into our family on a random Kabbalat Shabbat when we got our act together in time to attend, you will have the pleasure of hearing my wife, in shul, in her Italian Queens accent, singing V’Shamru right along with everyone else. And maybe your Jewish soul will swell with a little pride too.

From the Mi Shebeirach for Transitions in life- “May the one who told our ancestor to go forth… bless you Congregation Bnai Tikvah, in your journey, And be with you in every step you take, In the times when consequences are hidden from your eyes, and in those moments when the path is clear Siddur Lev Shalem page 445
The mission of the Bikur Cholim committee is to provide comfort and support to our CBT family when members are sick, homebound, hospitalized or vulnerable.
When feasible, we will visit hospitals, rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities or members at home. Once at home, we provide a Shabbos meal for the patient and caregiver(s). If there is a need for durable medical equipment, we have several items available for loan, at no charge. The Bikur Cholim Committee can provide assistance in getting to and from medical appointments, running errands, picking up prescriptions, etc. Rides to attend services can also be arranged.
Requests for such assistance, notifications of hospitalization, or other matters are held in strict confidence, unless otherwise explicitly permitted, exclusive of clergy and synagogue administration. You can express your need via email to bikur@bnaitikvah.org or through the synagogue office, clergy, or individual committee members.
Additionally, we communicate with our senior congregants on a regular basis to ascertain status, needs, and to let them know that we care for their well-being. To provide a sense of community and concern, we celebrate those who have been blessed to reach the age of 90 through our Chai Five program.
We are a small group of concerned congregants, and if you wish to join us, you are more than welcome. We would be very grateful if you can occasionally lend a hand in completing our mission. Just email us or notify the synagogue office.
Thank you
