Please contact Carol Berkin, 973-763-41 16223 to let tus know youll be at the meeting,Tt has been said that in fife, only death and taxes are assured While this is certainly true, there is something else that must be added to the list~ change. Change is inevitable. It is constant. It is always there. Yes, sometimes changes are so small, they are difficult to recognize. But they are still there At other times, however, the changes are rapid, significant and not easily overlooked. That is certainly the case this year. As you Snow, on June 30, Cantor Aronson will become our Cantor Emeritus. I look forward to the two evenings celebrating him, and thank all of you in advance for your participation and for your support of Temple through the online tribute book dedi- ‘cated to him. And on July 3, the big changes continue whent we will welcome « new Cantor tothe congregation. I is un exciting time that is filled with possibilities and is ripe with potential. Ihave rio doubt there will be some challenges mixed in along the way, but that 109 is inevitable, and I am looking forward to working with our staff and leadership to adress them when they do arise. Because of this, [thought I would use my tine at tonight's aninutal meeting, my 20th in fact, to discuss a number of exciting, additions ancl changes that will take place beginning this fall. Before I do a quick word of thanks, My thanks to my clergy collegues who continue to be amazing pariners and friends. Rabbi Miller, Cantor Aronson and Cantor Fins are each remark able individuals and, as a team, there is no better. My thanks to our senior staif members Leslie Sporn, Carol Pastor and the newest addition, our educator Mindy Schret?. ‘Mindy joined us at this time last year and has been an amazing, addition to our team. What she, along with Rabbi Miller and our religious school board, hias been able to accomplish in under a year is nothing short of amazing. My thanks fo Sunny Seglin for her help, patience with me, wisdom, patience with me, dedica tion and, have T mentioned, patience with me? My thanks to our office and custodial staff, They worked tirelessly behind the scenes all year long and deserve our thanks, Nothing would be possible without them. And finally, my thanks to our volunteer leadership and their leader, President Jay Rice ‘We have faced numerous challenges this year and our leadership thas done an impressive job addressing them all. Jay has worked From the Rabbi's Study Excerpted from Rabbi Cohen's remarks at the Congregational Meeting, May 16, 2012 tirelessly on behalf of this congregation, and I want to person ally and publicly thank him. ‘So what is coming in the fall? First, and most obviously, on July 3 we will welcome Cantor Rebecca Moss to the congregation. This is a huge transition, the first cantorial transition for this congregation in 45 years. Cantor Moses brings with her a unique style, a passion for music, and a passion for people. She has impressed everyone here at TST whom she has met, and I have no doubt all of you will feel the same way. She has already proven her wisclont to me for, when asked how she felt abont change versus maintaining tradition, she wisely answered, “I believe in respecting tradition ‘while, at the same time, introducing new melodies and innova~ tion that will ada to the excitement and sense of connection that people have, It is never either or.” Tam particularly excited that over the next few months, Cantor ‘Moses will be introducing a volunteer choir and band. Anel I am especially thrilled about the latter, considering the amazing, range of talent that exists in our community. Beginning this July, we will have a series of small group gather- ings so everyone can meet and greet Cantor Moses. Cantor ‘Moses is eager to get to know many members of the congregs: tion as quickly as possible. And I know that all of you will enjoy having some time to get fo know her. If you are willing to host a gathering, please let Sunny know, ‘The first service that she will be leading will take place Friday night, July 6. 1am starting my summer vacation late this year so that might be there, and I hope to see many of you there as ‘well. OF course, the High Holy Days will be a wonderful oppor: tunity for the community to welcome Cantor Moses. We will, however, have a formal opportunity to welcome her early in September a her service of instalation, Td like to tell you of @ change in our High Holy Day schedul ‘we will move toward one evening service on Erev Rosh Hasha- nnah and will hold that service at 7:30 PM. We will also have a communal gathering prior to the service, where we will infor~ mally welcome the New Year in song. It will be a new, relaxed and informal way to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of the next {eonton page aN
