A Message From Our Co-Presidents         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last few months at B’nai Tikvah have been packed with fabulous 

activities.  We kicked off our series on Israel programming with 

Kasim Hafeez – a passionate Zionist Muslim – and Rabbi Ken Spiro 

– a renowned lecturer on anti-Semitism.  Nearly six hundred people 

came out to hear these presentations.  We went hiking in the woods  

of Sourland Mountain Preserve, finishing up with a world-class  

tailgate.  We toured the baseball exhibit at the National Museum of 

American Jewish History and we barbequed at our annual picnic in 

Reichler Park.   We went kickboxing with Sisterhood and built our 

sukkah with Men’s Club, and our school year is off to an incredible  

beginning.  Of course, we gathered together for the Fall Four 

 (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah), 

 marveling at our beautiful new Holiday Torah mantles, and  

committing ourselves to a fresh start this year. 

 

The coming months promise to be just as exhilarating, including a  

group trip to the screening of The Green Prince at the Rutgers Jewish  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Film Festival; an evening with Itamar Marcus – founder of Palestin 

ian Media Watch; the film, Honor Diaries; comedy night; game night, 

and a whole host of learning opportunities.  We are so grateful to  

everyone in our community for bringing these events to life.  Please 

log on to bnaitikvah.org for all of the details and be a part of the  

vibrant B’nai Tikvah family. 

 

There is something very poignant about the transition from the  

Jewish season of repentance and forgiveness to the secular season  

of giving thanks.   We are so thankful for our health, our families,  

our friendships, and our amazing CBT community.  We resolve to do 

better in our personal lives and in our roles as Presidents of this  

congregation. We wish everyone a healthy, happy, and peaceful year.

Our next four meeting dates are at 7:45 in the Youth Lounge on Tuesday, September 30, Tuesday October 14, 

Wednesday October 29 and Thursday November 13. Hope to see you there.
