“peeled”TESSIN BOZARD’S ONE-WOMAN SHOWCONCERNING ABUSE

TESSIN BOZARD

After years of following the traditional route ofperforming, going through auditions and oftenplaying roles that didn’t go beyond fluff, TessinBozard began writing and performing her ownwork. This has enabled her to explore topics thathave always had her interest. Her characters arehumorous, sad, and thought-provoking. Everyinteraction and observation of humans show thatwe are capable of laughing even in the murkiesttimes. Whether we hide behind it or salve ourwounds with it, humor is our saving grace andTessin’s performances reflect that. It is her hopethat the audience leaves the performance with achallenged mind and a lightened heart.

“peeled”“peeled” is a one-woman show that delvesinto the stories of several different characterswho have all dealt with some kind of abuse.Domestic violence is still a “hush hush”topic and the people experiencing it areoften bullied into silence and do not have asafe environment to speak out about it. Theirendurance of it becomes their secret. Butwhat happens when someone does speakout, breaks their silence, and dares tochange their circumstances? How does oursociety, our community, support them intheir effort to live free? Peeling back the lay-ers to reveal one’s core, to share yoursecrets, that can be the most vulnerable pro-cess you will ever experience, a process thatwill be echoed by every character you willsee in this powerful, touching performance.

A LETTER FROM LOIS KITTNER, STUDENT CANTOR AND AWARDEEOF NCJW BERGEN COUNTY SECTION SCHOLARSHIP.

“Things are going very well at The Academy for Jewish religion! This year I’vebeen studying Jewish history, Jewish culture, current events, biblical text, mish-nah, and liturgy and they’re all rolled up into two separate classes. I also takeModern Hebrew twice a week and I am amazed at how much I’ve been ableto absorb. My teacher is wonderful!

This semester I’ve started a Music Skills class, which I desperately needed! I ama singer who didn’t know how to sight sing, and doesn’t know how to trans-pose music on paper, but I am making steady improvement in expanding thatbase of knowledge.

Currently, I am working towards my very first practicum, which will be atwenty-minute recital. (Visitors are welcome!) The theme of my practicum isthe Ne’ilah service and I will be representing the cantorial works of at least fivedifferent composers.

Please keep in touch. I feel in so many ways that the NCJW of Bergen Countyhelped to launch me in this exciting endeavor!”

Lois Kittner

We have survived the long, harsh winter of 2010-2011. Thoseof us who remained in Bergen County during these frigidmonths tell tales of feeling isolated, stuck at home watching thesnow fall. We talk about how we obsessively watched theweather channel trying to anticipate when the next storm wouldhit. We made and cancelled plans. We worried about falling onthe ice, skidding in the car, shoveling out the driveway. Clearly,we had no control. We were at the mercy of the elements. Wewere vulnerable. This month we ask you to consider these fears and concerns,which we all shared, and relate them to the most vulnerable ofthe women that we in NCJW BCS serve. When we see theweakest points of our clients and sense their vulnerability, westart to realize how similar we all actually are to one another.

Twice this month, NCJW is sponsoring programs that provideour membership with the ability to make social change andpositively impact the lives of at-risk women here in Bergen

County and in Israel. On April 6, we co-sponsored a screeningof the film Praying In Her Own Voice about women in Israelwho are prevented from practicing their religion freely andopenly. On Thursday afternoon, April 28, there will be a specialprogram focusing on Higher Ground, the NCJW national cam-paign to end domestic violence by improving the economic sta-tus of women. This is a multi-faceted campaign, combiningeducation, community service and advocacy. Please join us andour coalition partners as we help illuminate this aspect of inti-mate partner violence. Share our excitement as we begin thisnew project.

Yes, we have survived a grueling winter. The spring season isonce again upon us. And spring, in our faith, is symbolic ofPassover which recalls our ancestors’ exodus in the spring somethirty-three hundred and thirteen years ago. The exodus took usfrom slavery to freedom, from darkness to brilliant light, just asthe earth awoke from winter slumber. Spring represents renewaland rebirth. The cold frigid winter has passed. Spring burstsforth just as our people, shackled in slavery, without hope, burstout of slavery. In spring our pent-up energy breaks through andour white frozen world becomes green with vigor. As youemerge from winter into the brightness of spring sunshine, helpus to help others survive by joining the fight for economic secu-rity critical to women’s safety. A woman’s ability to leave oravoid domestic violence is often directly related to her degreeof economic security.

“Let a woman have her place, because as you provide a foun-dation for her, she provides a foundation for you, and throughthat vulnerability comes strength.” Shemar Moore

Have a wonderful Passover and join us on April 28 as we reachfor “HIGHER GROUND.”

H A N N A H G. S O L O M A N A W A R D

I am a timeperson. I viewthe wor ldth rough ahistoriographylens. Time Pre-sent is experi-enced as avesse l con-taining TimePast and TimeFuture. Today,at this moment,

I am overwhelmed and humbled tobe recognized by my peers, myNCJWBCS family, to receive the Han-nah G. Solomon Award. Sharing itwith my role model and mentor, BeaPodorefsky, is too special to define.Time Present presents as memoriesand aspirations. The memories are ofexcitement and personal growth pro-vided through my association withNCJW. You, my BCS colleagues,inspired me to justify your designa-tion of Bea and me as Emerging Lead-ers in 1996.

This award is a leadership award. Inow recognize how much I havelearned from you, how much youtaught me through your dedication tothe vision and mission of NCJW–yourwork and commitment to communityservices, education, philanthropy,and advocacy-all of which aregrounded in our Jewish values. Therespect and good humor we all havetoward one another is indicative ofthe expert leadership that has guidedall of us over the years.

Retiring from Northern ValleyRegional High School in 1993, ateaching career that took me from theturmoil of the 60’s to a more hopefultime of the 90’s, I knew I wanted toshare my knowledge and hone myclassroom management skills in thewider community. Bea and I wereteaching colleagues at NVRHS. We

joined the collective bargaining pro-cess together, took continuing educa-tion courses together in every newclassroom technique that the aca-demics put forward. She was aremarkable president of NVEA, I wassecretary under an earlier administra-tion. Most important, we shared anidealism about education and thepossibilities of first class educationfor our students and what that couldmean for them and us. Little did weever imagine September 11, 2001,and the decade ahead. Bea retiredtwo years before I did and preparedthe way for me into NCJW.

Over the years since the EmergingLeader awards, we have learned somuch as section members. We foundinnovative ways to respond to achanging world. We continue to edu-cate ourselves and the section mem-bers. The economics, politics anddemographics are challenging ourmission to protect the human rightsand dignity of women, children andfamilies here and in Israel. As youradvocacy and education chairs, wereceived the opportunity to meet andcollaborate with so many significantexperts in the public sectors. Becauseof our advocacy for early childhoodeducation we were appointed by theBergen County Freeholders to serveon the BC Human Services AdvisoryCoucil.

Time Future holds aspirations to con-tribute toward an examination andimplementation of new paradigms ofleadership. The challenges of ourworld as we enter the second decadeof this century demand changingstyles of leadership. We are experi-menting with approaches that will beincorporated into a strategic plan inwhich all of us will be stakeholders.All of us will examine how we func-tion and develop new ways to con-tinue our work toward Tikun Olum.

The world today demands demo-cratic institutions that can address theneed for economic advancement andsocial transformations. The world ischanging before our own eyes asmedia and technology put us in thecenter of the action. Social actionwill have to expand and innovate tomeet the new particularities of thesechanges. From a recent seminar someof us attended on principles of lead-ership, we received some words ofwisdom: There are three kinds ofLeaders - Jawbones, Wishbones andBackbones. Jawbones talk aboutthings and hope they get better,.Wishbones hope things will get betterand Backbones create change tomake things happen.

For me, Time Past and Time Future areall contained within your considera-tion of me for this Hannah G.Solomon Award. I have tried toexplain to myself how I came todeserve your recognition by sharingmy journey from emerging leader tothis moment. I will use this piece as akind of journal to share with our chil-dren, Jeffrey, Susan and Michael. Iwill give it to our grandchildren,Alexander, Dan, David and Saman-tha. I hope that they will understandthat I believe in a better world forthem. Most important, I will sharethis award with my husband Jack,who always encouraged me andrelinquished so much time thatbelonged to him.

Time Future begins tomorrow. Thankyou all for this present moment.

HANNAH G. SOLOMON AWARD 1858 - 1943This award is named for our founder who in 1893 brought together ninety Jew-ish women from all over the United States to the Parliament of Religions at theChicago World’s Fair. In so doing she formed the first major Jewish women’sorganization, the National Council of Jewish Women, dedicated to faith andhumanity, serving unmet human needs. This prestigious award is based on the following criteria:

• An inidividual who is known for her/his interest, activity and stand on vitalissues with which NCJW is in sympathy and has helped translate them intocommunity programs.

• A person who has made known and stimulated interest and action in unmetneeds at the grass roots level and brought about important community ser-vices.

• Someone who is a catalyst for social change.

H A N N A H G. S O L O M A N A W A R D

To be givenentree intothe ranks ofthose womenand men towhom the-Hannah G.Solomon hasbeen awardedis indeed asignal honor.

To be sharing it with my cherishedfriend and colleague, ConnieHochberg, defies description, sincewe have nurtured and enjoyed afriendship grounded in compatibility,respect and love for over 44 years. Iam humbled, still stunned, butdeeply grateful to each of you forgranting us this prestigious award,which recognizes contributions tocommunity, advocacy and socialchange. Little did we know in 1996when we were named EmergingLeaders that this honor was to be inour future. I understand now, as Ilook back over the past 20 years ofservice and involvement in NCJW,that more often than not, it was themany crises facing us, whether edu-cational, political and/or economic,which impelled us to devote our-selves most assiduously to PublicAffairs duties. And during these manycrisis situations, we have benefitedfrom your enthusiastic and unstintingsupport of all our advocacy effortsand projects.

Our tenure as Public Affairs co-chairshas been driven by two goals: to edu-cate ourselves so we understand theprincipal issues of the day and thento confront and advocate for changewithin the context of NCJW's guidingprinciples.

When I retired from my teachingposition at Northern Valley RegionalHigh School and embarked on myjourney with NCJW twenty yearsago, I did not comprehend immedi-

ately the enormity of the challengesand degree of commitmentdemanded of all of us. Always, itseems, so much remains to beaccomplished. At this moment whenConnie and I watch with anxiety aworld that is in utter economic, polit-ical and social turmoil; when ournational debt has increased beyondour funding ability; when ournational and state services providedto the most vulnerable are being cut;when the rights of our workers tostrike are being limited; when ourCongress is ready to dismantle anational health care bill; when ourwomen’s right to choose again isbeing battered and threatened; whengun control is out of control, we areagain impelled to act.

I would be remiss in accepting thisaward without mentioning the unwa-vering support and encouragement ofmy late husband, Arthur, who notonly shared my personal, intellectualand cultural passions, but my socialand ethical values as well. Togetherwe developed an enduring set of val-ues that stressed service to the com-munity, commitment to Judaism, andlove of family. Our blessings weremany: three children – Jan, Donnaand Robert, and their spouses, Fredand Terry, eight grand children Sarahand her husband Matt, Ben and hiswife Marjy, Jon, Becca, Andrew,Jesse, Karen and David who have fol-lowed in our footsteps of Tzedakahand Tik-un Olam, and a recent addi-tion, a great grand-child, Emma, whoI expect will do the same. My familyis my greatest accomplishment - aremarkable legacy.

As my children were trained in socialadvocacy, so too was I. Growing upin Newark (then considered a “hot-bed of liberalism” and “freethinkers”) was a”Family Affair.” Sun-days at home were spent debatingpolitical issues. My parents stressed

freedom of thought and expressionand pressed me to investigate socialand civic issues through active par-ticipation in community work.Among my earliest outlets for socialreform were the League of WomenVoters, the Anti-Defamation Leagueand Teaneck NJ’s Human Relationsand Environmental Councils. It wasthrough these organizations, primar-ily, that I was taught how to marshalefforts to eradicate anti-semitismthrough education in the publicschools and how to address the hous-ing and education deficiencies of asegregated America by fighting forthe first integrated public school sys-tem in the U.S.: Teaneck NJ. Duringmy 29-year teaching career atNVRHS, Connie and I advocated forour educators and fought to unitemembers of the Teacher’s Associationto fulfill the promise of public educa-tion. And, as a Board member of Pro-ject Literacy of Bergen County, Irenewed my educational involve-ment in the region by working to endadult illiteracy.

For me, as for many of us, a personalhistory of dedication to confrontsocial problems rather than to avoidthem, paved my way to NCJW. Par-ticipation in NCJW, a communityardent in its fight for social justiceand commitment to public service,offers each of us a certain degree ofsustenance and fulfillment, as wework together on behalf of the disen-franchised. The need to respond tosocial injustice is ever-present andrequires our relentless attention.

I consider it a privilege to have servedan organization as vital as ours and itis with deep humility and gratitudethat I accept the recognition thisaward bestows.
