Dear Chaverim,
On the eve of the 7th day of Cha-
nukah, we joined with other Ameri-
cans and people around the world
grieving over the murder of twenty
innocent, defenseless 6 & 7 year
old children along with six caring
adults at the Sandy Hook Elemen-
tary School in Newtown, Connect-
icut. That horrifc act will remain
engraved in our minds forever. In the weeks ahead we
will undoubtedly be hearing renewed debates about gun
control and the need to look at and modify how we treat
the mentally ill in our society as urged by Liza Long in an
emotional plea that went viral on the internet. These are
issues that politicians and health care professionals will
have to consider more seriously than ever.
There is another issue that we as human beings are
forced to confront in the aftermath of what happened in
Newtown. How can we go on believing in God? There
will be those who say that what happened in Newtown
is proof that there is no God, or even worse, there will be
those who will proclaim that what happened in Newtown
(and other mass murders as well) acts as a sign that God
is not happy with our society. They will claim that what
happened was a punishment ordained by God. Neither
reaction could be farther from the Jewish world view.
Our idea of God pictures God sitting and crying with the
bereaved, helping to lend comfort to them along with
other beloved members of their family and community.
We hope that through the passage of time parents and
other loved ones who suffered loss in Newtown will be-
come a bit less painful and they will ultimately be able to
honor the memory of their loved ones in positive ways.
As painful as this tragedy was, there are ways to mitigate
these terrible and senseless acts. I hope that we recog-
nize the gifts that our family and loved ones bring to our
lives, but perhaps now that realization is even greater. Life
has a way at times of letting us take for granted the many
blessings each of us have. Perhaps this tragedy will allow
us to focus on them even more so in the coming days and
years. At the same time maybe we will also feel a greater

sense of responsibility to help other people with simple
acts of kindness. Shortly after the tragedy occurred in
Newtown, I read how Danny Siegel, a noted teacher and
author who specializes in teaching about simple acts of
tzedakah (charity), spoke to some children and parents in
a synagogue in New York. His message was very clear; it
often does not take a whole lot to make the world a better
place. Each of us might take the memory of the twenty
six who died in Newtown as motivation to help someone
else and add the fulflling of mitzvot to our daily lives. It
is a way of saying that those who tragically died can still
help us to make the world a better place.
May we all be comforted at this diffcult time, and may
we use it to realize the blessings we have in our own
lives and to be messengers of Gods blessings to others
in need.
Lshalom,
Rabbi Ira Korinow

Honoring Four Chaplains
Sunday, February 3, 2013, 1:00 pm
In honor of the gallantry of the four Armed Forc-
es Chaplains, Temple Emanu-El will be the host
for this years American Legion, District 8 (Essex
County) of the Department of Massachusetts
Memorial Service for the Four Chaplains.
On February 3, 1943 four American Chaplains of
different faiths Protestant, Jewish, and Catho-
lic each gave away their life preservers and their
chances for survival when their ship, the USS
Dorchester was mortally struck. The four chaplains
went down together with the ship.
Please join us to commemorate the heroic acts of
four Army Chaplains, who gave up their lives when
the troop ship Dorchester was torpedoed in the
North Atlantic on February 3rd 1943, and to rec-
ognize and honor Veterans of the Armed Forces for
their patriotic service, dedication and sacrifce in
the name of freedom.
The collation (refreshments) after the Service will
be at the Haverhill American Legion Post 4, 1314
Main Street, Haverhill, MA 01830
Dear Temple Emanu-El Family,
With a very busy December behind
us, we are starting off the secular
New Year with lots of Religious
School/HEFTY Friday night ser-
vices. Please try to attend and
support our children. We also have
our Annual Martin Luther King, Jr.
multi-denominational service on
January 18th. This is an amazing
event and I urge you all to attend.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mindy Licht-
man for the wonderful job she has done as Social Com-
mittee Chair. Mindy has stepped down so she can devote
her time to planning her upcoming wedding. If you are
interested in chairing this committee, please contact me
or Nancy.
As a reminder, the Board of Directors meet every month.
The meetings are open to all and anyone interested in
attending; please contact Nancy for the dates. We are
always looking for a few good men and women to join.
Best regards,

HEFTY News
Decembers big event was a social action project to con-
tribute toward the Emergency Boiler Fund. We wanted to
do our part and decided to have a bake sale to beneft
the Windows to the Future fund. Thank you to Sheila and
Isabel Allen for hosting the event. We had a lot of fun
baking our goods and selling them at the Chanukah Party
and at Snack Shack before Hebrew School on Wednes-
day afternoon. Donating the money is just icing on the
cake (pun intended). In total, we raised nearly $75 toward
the new boiler. Its a warm feeling, being able to help
out a little.
In the world of NFTY, the Regional group, December In-
stitute is just around the corner. December Institute is a 5
day bonding and leadership training event held at Camp
Eisner in Great Barrington.
January is a busy month for HEFTY with two major
events, Shul-In and Shabbaton. Shul-In is an overnight at
the Temple on Saturday, Jan. 19th with activities, games
and contests around the theme of Jews in Entertainment.
Every year we hang out, eat, enjoy activities and ice-
breakers, and play games late into the night. Shabbaton
is a weekend retreat in the White Mountains beginning
on Friday afternoon, January 25th and ending Sunday,
January 27th. We celebrate Shabbat, play games, eat a
lot, go sledding on a killer hill, hike, swim at the commu-
nity sports center, watch movies and much, much more.
Hefty is having an amazing year, with record participation
and exciting plans for events and activities over the next
few months. Please plan on joining us!!! If you have any
questions feel free to contact our Youth Advisor Jesse
Kamien at jesse.kamien@gmail.com, Youth Chair, Trudy

NEW Opportunities
for the NEW Year
Chesed Committee
Safety in the home: In order to keep our homes
safe with smoke and carbon monoxide testers, batteries
should be changed at least annually. If you are a senior
and have diffculty accessing your smoke detector and
want help with changing the batteries, please call Harriet
Peick at 978-372-5001. Reminder you will need to sup-
ply the batteries and a ladder.
If you wish to volunteer in this effort to help others, please
call Harriet as well. You can never do too many mitzvot!!
Friendly Visitor Program: In our continuing ef-
forts to reach out to those who may no longer be able
to participate in Temple activities, we will be starting a
Friendly Visitor Program for volunteers to visit with se-
niors in nursing homes or their own homes. Make new
older friends, share stories and interests, bring news and
views to our older Temple members. If you are interested
in volunteering, please call Carole Taut at 617-257-0140
or Susan Shwom at 978-374-5545.
Shiva: Members of the Chesed Committee have been
available to help families at the time of a death by either
preparing the home for the initial shiva meal or by lead-
ing shiva minyan. If you are interested in participating in
either of these mitzvot, new orientation programs will be
held shortly. Please email Sharyn Russell at sruss1010@

Update on Lotsa Helping Hands
from the Chesed Committee
Connecting people through the power of community;
whether you need help or you want to provide help, is the
objective of Lotsa Helping Hands as announced by the
Chesed Committee. You may be caring for an ill loved
one, an aging parent, a child with special needs or a vet-
eran. You may want to volunteer to help a friend or others
in our congregation.
As a starting point, the committee announced its Vision,
Mission, and Principles for Lotsa Helping Hands:
Mission
To create a caring community of support
Vision
Launch a new computer-based program (LotsaHelp-
ingHands) that will electronically allow the coordination
of the needs of Temple Members with the volunteers to
meet those needs.
Do You Need a Ride to
a Temple event?
The Chesed Committee will be
happy to help arrange a ride for you.
If you need a ride, call the Temple
Offce at 978-373-3861.
Principles
Maintain confdentiality as appropriate
Organization implemented by Chesed Committee
Involving the broad Temple Membership in creating a
wider community of support
Technically, the plan is to establish a link through the
Temple website to www.lotsahelpinghands.com for
communicating and managing Temple-specifc projects
where our membership can participate in helping. The
Chesed committee hopes to have this active in January,
2013. Stay tuned!
It is wonderful to be back at school
and into our normal routine! It was
obvious that everyone missed their
friends as the kids walked in with
smiles, hugs and lots of things to
catch up with each other.
The Chanukah Party was great
fun for everyone. Thanks to Mindy
Lichtman and her committee for
the delicious potato latkes, cookies
and crafts and our Madrichim for decorating. Thanks to
Ellen Farber for subbing as accompanist during the kids
performance and to Hannah Jacobs and Shaina Gilks
for leading the Chanukah singing. Thank you to Martina
Nathan and Sisterhood for providing dreidels and choco-
late gelt to our students.
Our Annual Book Fair took place and I hope everyone
will enjoy reading their books on a warm comfy chair as
the weather gets colder. Thanks to Lisa Desberg and her
committee for taking on this service to the members of
our temple community and also to those who reserved
tables to sell their merchandise.
Grades 3 & 4 will be taking their favorite feld trip to The
Magic Brush in Tewksbury to create beautiful ceramic
seder plates for use at their home Passover seders.
On January 25th Grades 1 and 2 will participate in their
Family Shabbat Service. I always look forward to this
because these students have so much enthusiasm for
everything they study when I walk into their classroom to
visit on Sundays.
Not only does January and the new year come in with a
bang it also goes out with one for our 7th graders and
HEFTY kids. The annual Shabbaton on the mountains of
New Hampshire and the home of Jesse Kamien takes
place during the last weekend of January. More on this
next time.
January is the month of Colors and the students will be
learning the names of colors in Hebrew. Although it might
be white outside (by the time you read this we may have
our frst real storm of the year or not) but it should be a
colorful time here at the religious school!
Happy and Healthy New Year!

Scrip Comes to Temple Emanu-El!
Were pleased to share some exciting news about a new
fundraising program for Temple Emanu-El. Its called scrip,
and its the fundraising program that works while you shop.
Scrip is simply a word that means substitute money in
other words, certifcates from national and local retail-
ers. Theyre the same gift cards that you buy at the store
or online. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip
program including Kohls, Amazon, iTunes, Shaws, Macys,
Best Buy, The Gap, ExxonMobil, Marshalls, Starbucks, Panera
and many, many others.
Youre probably asking yourself how these stores help us
raise money. Its simple scrip participating retailers agree to
sell gift certifcates to our organization at a discount. Member
families like yours buy the certifcates for full face value, they
redeem them for full face value, and the Temple keeps the
dierence as revenue.
The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household
shopping dollars to work. You earn money for the Temple with-
out spending a single additional penny. Just spend your regu-
lar shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that participate
in the scrip program scrip can be used for just about any
household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment,
gasoline and dining out. Scrip makes a great gift as well!
Temple members ordered $705 worth of scrip in December,
our frst month using this program, for which the Temple
earned$52.90 (approximately 7.5% of all purchases). This has
the potential to be a great fundraiser for the Temple. Order
your Scrip cards today! Keep cards for Shaw's, Starbucks,
Target, CVS, Dunkin Donuts and more in your pocket to use
just like cash. The deadline for the next order is Tuesday, Janu-
ary 22nd, 2013. Order forms are available in HaSifriyah and
the Temple o ce. Forms may also be downloaded from the
Temples website: www.TempleEmanu-El.org.
Please support the Temple by participating in this great new
program!

Have You Remembered Temple Emanu-El?
A bequest to Temple Emanu-El is an excellent way of fulfll-
ing the mitzvah of securing a future for our community.
When preparing your will or when making changes, please
remember the Temple. Your gift will provide for you and
your loved ones a lasting way of supporting Jewish life in
the greater Haverhill area.
For the sake of Jewish continuity,
remember Temple Emanu-El!
Hospital Visits
Rabbi Korinow visits the Merrimack Valley Hospital in
Haverhill weekly or as needed.
The Rabbi wants to visit any member who is in a hospital. If
you know that a member of Temple Emanu-El is hospital-
ized in any hospital, please call the Rabbi to let him know.
Honor your Mother and your Father
The Torah tells us that we must always honor our parents. Our Jewish tradition extends that law to say that we must honor all our
loved ones, and remember them in death. There is no better way to remember and honor the memory of your departed family members
than to have a Memorial Yahrzeit Plaque on the wall of the Temple sanctuary.
You have seen the plaques on the wall of the sanctuary. Each week, the plaques belonging to our beloved departed, whose Yahrzeit,
or anniversary of death, is that week, are lighted. This is to recognize the anniversary of that person, and to give us an opportunity
to lovingly honor the memory of that person, at least once every year. Also, three times per year, on Yizkor, all the plaques are lit to
remember all the loved ones of our Temple.
The plaque contains the name of the deceased, both in English and Hebrew, as well as the date of the persons death. The plaques
are available whenever the sanctuary is open, so someone can always see the name and remember the loving memories of the departed
family member. This is a loving way to remember a parent, spouse or child.
The cost of a memorial Yahrzeit plaque is a one-time cost of $250. This cost includes the engraving of the plaque, placing it on the
wall, in alphabetical order, and having it lit on Yahrzeit and Yizkor to perpetuity. To purchase a plaque, contact Nancy or the Rabbi at
the Temple, (978) 373-3861.
