Our Annual Kristallnacht Commemoration
“HOLLYWOOD, HITLER & CARL LAEMMLE:
The Story of an Unsung Hero” The birth of Hollywood is a remarkable story of innovation and ingenuity. It is also an American-Jewish story - one in which Carl Laemmle, an immigrant from Germany, played an enormous role. Laemmle’s greatest legacy, howev-er, stems from what he did during the last two years of his life. On Sunday morning November 8th, at our annual Kristallnacht commemoration, Con-gregation Or Shalom in Orange will celebrate the life-saving deeds of Carl
Laemmle.
By 1936, the circumstances of the Jewish community in Nazi Germany had
become life threatening. That year, Carl Laemmle retired from his position as
founder and president of Universal Pictures, and threw himself into the work
of bringing as many of his relatives and former townspeople to safety on
American shores. In November 1938, in the aftermath of the horrors of
Kristallnacht, Laemmle began reaching out to anyone he could possibly
save from the clutches of the Nazi regime. Pressed by Secretary of State
Cordell Hull to explain his fervor and generosity on behalf of “complete
strangers”, Laemmle wrote: “…It is simply a matter that touches me deeply
and I, for one, am willing to go to the limit in helping these poor unfortu-
nates…” In the end, Carl Laemmle rescued hundreds of people from the
Holocaust. The precise number of refugees he shepherded to safety in the
United States is unknown; historians agree that it was at least 250.
Our Kristallnacht program will begin at 9am with a power-point presenta-
tion by Thomas Doherty, professor of American Studies and chair of the
American Studies Program at Brandeis University. Professor Doherty is the
author of the acclaimed book, “Hollywood and Hitler: 1933-1939”.
At approximately 10am, Senator Richard
Blumenthal will present a commendation to
the Laemmle family, who will receive it on
behalf of their beloved “Uncle Carl”. Sur-
rounding the Senator and the Laemmle
family will be several of the hundreds who
are alive today because of the life-saving
deeds of Carl Laemmle.
All are Welcome! Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal Pictures

From the Rabbi…
“THEY”
Back in September, just prior to
the start of a Bar Mitzvah cere-
mony, I flicked my microphone
on, but it failed to function. Over
the summer, the microphone had
begun to show signs of wear and
tear; but now, it simply refused to
work. Luckily, one of the Bar
Mitzvah guests saw me strug-
gling with it, and being more technologically adept
than me, was able to bring it back to life. As he de-
scended from the Bimah, he smiled and said: “they
should get you a new one!” “Well”, I muttered to my-
self, “they’ have only two weeks left before Rosh
Hashanah!” But happily, “they” came through for us!
A week later, after much research, numerous trips to
Sam Ash, and arduous electrical work, our House
Chairman, Larry Lambert, procured for us a new mi-
crophone. And once again, our High Holiday services
proved to be perfectly audible!
In the Orthodox synagogue of my youth, there was an
interlude in the Shabbat morning service in which a
special prayer was intoned. It was titled:
“A prayer for those devoted to the community”. It
opened with these words:
“May the One who blessed our ancestors, bless all
who contribute candles for the illumination of our
Shul, logs for heating it, food for hungry wayfarers,
charity for the poor, etc… for they are truly devoted
to the welfare of the community”.
A few days ago, I happened to come across that an-
cient prayer in a tattered prayer book: ”…Candles for
illumination? Logs for heating? Food for hungry way-
farers?…” I smiled as I read that quaint prayer. “The
modern synagogue requires so much more to maintain
itself”, I thought: “There’s a formidable budget to
meet; electric bills, heating bills, landscaping bills,
salaries to pay, etc… Monetary contributions to the
Synagogue are absolutely indispensible in modern
times.” But as I stared at that prayer, I found myself
drawn to it, nonetheless. There was something so com-
pelling about its practical, down-to-earth list of con-
cerns: “And yet… and yet…”, I countered, “For a Shul
to survive, it also needs people who are willing to con-
tribute their most precious possession, their time. With-
out that contribution, no Shul can survive.”
And so, as I look back at another successful Holiday
season, and find myself once again filled with apprecia-
tion for all who make the Holidays “happen” at Congre-
gation Or Shalom year after year, I offer an adaptation of
that ancient prayer:
“May the One who blessed our ancestors, bless all who
have given so generously of their time to make the cele-
bration of the Holidays possible at our Congregation! G
-d bless all who provided us with Holiday candles (&
matches too), wine (& schnappes too), an equitable dis-
tribution of Holiday honors, honey and a “new fruit” for
Rosh Hashanah, food for Project Isaiah’s needy, deli-
cious food for our Yom Kippur Break-Fast (some of
which was prepared in our own kitchen!) clean Talles-
im, chairs to sit on, Yahrzeit lights (turned on, and then
off and then on again - 1,100 bulbs in total!) a lovely
Sukkah and Sukkah decorations, handsome Lulavim &
Etrogim, pretty flags, apples & goodies for Simhat To-
rah, lovely floral displays, competent baby sitting…
And may G-d bless all our teen Cantors, and Haftorah
Readers, and Gabbaim, and Shofar blowers, and Ushers,
and Youth Service leaders, and High Holiday Commit-
tee members, and all who assisted in my retelling of the
story of Jonah (and all who shlepped the props for it!)
MAY G-D BLESS YOU ALL!
YOU ARE THE “THEY” THAT MAKES CONGREGA-
TION OR-SHALOM POSSIBLE!
P.S., Kindly consider becoming a “They”!… Please call me if
you’re interested!
With Shalom,
Rabbi Alvin Wainhaus

From the President...
One of the most challenging issues
the leadership of the synagogue
deals with on an annual basis is that
of High Holiday tickets. We hear
many questions as well as a fair
share of complaints. They run the
gamut from people wanting free
tickets for their adult kids or their
elderly parents. They want free
tickets for out of town friends or
even in-town friends. Local non-members call and want
to buy tickets. We hear “so-and-so temple gives their
tickets out for free, why don’t we?” and “So-and-so tem-
ple lets non-members buy tickets, why can’t we do
that?” Still other people think they should get additional
tickets for whomever, because they do so much for the
temple, or have been members for many years. I think
you get the picture.
These issues are discussed by the Board of Directors eve-
ry year at this time. For clarity’s sake, I will reiterate the
current version of the rules that govern the distribution of
High Holiday tickets below:
1) Each Membership level receives the following:
Family (two adults)- 2 tickets
Family (one adult)- 1 ticket
Single (one adult)- 1 ticket
2) Members’ children under the age of 26 are not re-
quired to have tickets.
3) Non-members living within 20 miles of Or Shalom are
not eligible to buy tickets.
4) Out of town guests of members, who are members in
good standing at another synagogue, may receive tickets
free of charge upon presenting a letter of reciprocity from
their synagogue to the office attesting to their active sta-
tus.
5) Associate members are not eligible for free tickets.
(Associate members are members at another synagogue
but pay a minimal fee to still receive communications
from Or Shalom)
We understand and appreciate that this is a contentious
and complicated issue. However, the rules are in place
for multiple reasons. While it is true that the sale of High
Holiday tickets brings in significant revenue, which in
turn helps lower membership dues for all members, this
is not just about the money. A major factor is to continue
support for the synagogue. The prevailing school of
thought is that by limiting access to High Holiday tickets
to members, it will incentivize membership by those who
want to come to High Holiday services. This point of
view advocates a position that if anyone could get free
High Holiday tickets there would be a much lower de-
mand for membership, which would have a significant
negative impact on the synagogue. If everyone wanted to
go to a synagogue for the holidays, but did not want to
support it the rest of the year we would be in very big
trouble.
Unfortunately, the offering of free tickets is a trend we
see across this region as synagogues try to figure out how
to attract new members. I for one do not believe that this
is a tactic that will result in successful recruitment. In-
deed, I think it will result in the continuing decline in syn-
agogue memberships in the region and a weakening of
Jewish community, culture and identity. From my stand-
point, if you value attending High Holiday Services, you
should be willing to support the Jewish community as a
whole through synagogue membership.
As for providing free tickets to current members for
guests, this too is something I have issues with. I under-
stand that it can be a hardship to have to buy 6 extra tick-
ets for your guests. It is an issue I deal with every year
myself. Despite what some people may think, yes, even
the President has to pay for additional tickets. The syna-
gogue should not be a place for favoritism and everyone
should be expected to comply with the rules, regardless of
their length of membership or level of activity.
Finally, we have the issue of requests for the purchase of
tickets as well as requests for free High Holiday tickets
from non-members. As noted above, there are concerns
that we risk diluting the value of membership here at Con-
gregation Or Shalom by providing access to tickets for
local individuals who are not members. This risk must be
balanced against the alienation of potential new members,
and even simple good will to the Jewish community at
large.
I assure you that all of these issues and others will be tak-
en up again by the board and discussed at length over the
next few months. If you are interested in being part of the
discussion, or even part of the solution, I urge you to reach
out to me or the office to let us know. All are welcome to
participate and share their thoughts on the issue.
Thank you for taking the time to read this column. I hope
you all have an enjoyable fall, and I will see you at ser-
vices.

Use Auto-Purchase for Monthly Grocery Gift Cards!
Many congregants have asked for it and now it is available. We know you want to support Or Shalom’s Gift Card program but don’t always remember. So we are making it even easier.
Use the form on the website to submit and sign up for monthly auto-purchase. On the first of each month, we will charge your credit card for the amount you specify and mail the gift cards (Stop & Shop or ShopRite) to you. All you need to do is email us confirmation that you received the cards! It is that easy!
If you have any questions, contact Rachel or Joan in the office for more information.
The Social Action Committee helps the community in many
areas. In September, Operation Isaiah collected more than
4,000 pounds of food. Todah Rabah to Eve Volk and Keith
Indeck for coordinating this project. In October, we collected
an overflow of coats, hats, mittens and scarves. In Novem-
ber, we will collect non-perishable food to supply the Jewish
Family Service Food Pantry before Thanksgiving. In De-
cember we will collect blankets and tarps for the homeless.
Start saving your toiletries now for our collection in January.
This year, we are welcoming Religious School families to
participate in an important project, preparing dinner for resi-
dents of the Spooner House shelter in Shelton. The Social
Action Committee is proud of its longest running project.
Spooner House is a shelter for the homeless in Shelton that is
run by ACT—Area Congregations Together. Many Or Sha-
lom congregants have participated in this project for the past
24 years. We are proud to be the only synagogue among the
many churches that provide meals to Spooner House. Or
Shalom members of all ages find this project very satisfying.
Volunteer families may bring home-prepared or take-out
items for dinner. As an alternative, volunteer families can
arrange to prepare the meal and/or serve the meal at the shel-
ter. We have openings for dinner for December, 2015 and
May, June and July 2016. Please contact Margie Shapiro at
[email protected] or 203-799-2108 for further infor-
mation.
We also support the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen
(D.E.S.K.). Or Shalom is responsible for the first Sunday of
every month from 4:15-6 pm at 311 Temple Street, New Ha-
ven. We need volunteer servers to continue participating this
year. DESK feeds over 300 people daily with only 3 paid
staff and hundreds of volunteers. IT IS EASY. THERE IS
NO COST, NO FOOD PREPARATION, JUST YOUR
PRESENCE. IT IS PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. VOLUN-
TEERS ARE NEEDED FOR DECEMBER 2015 AND
OTHER DATES IN 2016. To volunteer, please contact Nan-
cy Kline at [email protected].
The Social Action Committee has begun a new venture this
year: a Chesed sub-committee chaired by Wendy Novick.
[email protected]. We will bring Challah and candles
to synagogue grieving families and drive people to services
as needed. Wendy will chair this committee.

Education
We are off to an exciting
and busy start to our Hebrew
School year! In between Rosh
Hashana and Yom Kippur, we
had our first day of Sunday
school, where the 5th graders
had a great time making their
own shofars with Rabbi Wilhelm from
Milford. Next, we celebrated Sukkot with all of the
children decorating our Sukkah, a sing-a-long with
Rabbi Wainhaus, and Israeli dancing with our favor-
ite Israeli dance instructor, Asya. The children also
attended a fun Simchat Torah service, and received
treats as they followed the Torahs around the sanctu-
ary, courtesy of our Or Shalom Sisterhood
(thank you, ladies!).
In October, we look forward to the first of many vis-
its from our new Israeli emissary, Vicky. Next
month, the 3rd and 4th grade classes will participate in
a Torah workshop, where they will learn about Torah
scrolls, and get a chance to write their Hebrew names
with ink on real parchment. The 5th and 6th graders
will attend a special ADL workshop, and the 7th grade
class will lead their first Saturday morning service

Annual Campaign Update
I am sure that by now, you have heard that the Annual
Campaign is our single largest source of non-dues reve-
nue. It enables the synagogue to voluntarily distribute part
of its financial obligations to all, where those who are able
to contribute more, lessen the burden on others who may
not be able to contribute as much.
To date, the Campaign has raised $31, 791.50 and has
done so in record time. Thank you to all who have helped!.
That said, we have only seen participation from half of our
members. We understand that due to this year's early start
of the Annual Campaign, and with the High Holidays just
concluding, you may have not yet be focused on this, but
we hope we can count on you to make your pledge now. If
you have not participated in recent years, we ask that you
consider this year to reverse that trend and join your fellow
pledging members.
Please search your hearts and souls and contribute as you
see fit. Every contribution is important. No amount is in-
significant. Thank you to all, whose participation and gen-
erous contributions are making this effort a success.
