<h3>The High Holidays don’t have to feel confusing.</h3>
Maybe you’ve been coming to High Holiday services for years. Maybe this is your first time in a while.
Either way, you may have found yourself sitting in synagogue wondering:
What exactly are we saying — and why does it matter?
This year can be different.
The <a href="https://www.suburbantorah.org/explanatoryexperience" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">High Holiday Experience</a>, presented by Aish Livingston and Suburban Torah, is designed for anyone who wants to experience Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur with greater meaning, understanding and connection.
You’ll be guided through the prayers and the big ideas of the High Holidays in an accessible and engaging service — helping you understand not only what we are saying, but why we are saying it.
<h3>Less lost. More meaning.</h3>
<h3>Less wondering. More understanding.</h3>
<h3>Less watching the clock. More connection.</h3>
Whether you don’t yet have plans for the High Holidays, have sometimes felt lost in a traditional synagogue service, or simply want this year to feel different, we invite you to join us.<a href="https://www.suburbantorah.org/explanatoryexperience" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CLICK&nbsp;HERE&nbsp;TO&nbsp;LEARN&nbsp;MORE&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;REGISTER</a>

Pioneer Productions is thrilled to announce encore performances of their production of Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me.
 Following a sold-out run of the show in downtown Morristown earlier 
this year, the original cast and production team have partnered with the
 Morris Museum to present an encore weekend in September 2026. Join us for a post-show discussion on September 20th with ACLU-NJ staff member DaWuan Norwood, Policy Counsel, and others.
Pioneer Production’s Artistic Director, Dan Vissers, directs 
Schreck’s boundary-breaking play that breathes new life into our 
Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of 
Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning 
Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this 
hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human play, she resurrects her teenage 
self to trace the profound relationship between four generations of 
women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
What the Constitution Means to Me won the Obie Award for 
Best New American Play and the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for 
Best American Play. The play was also nominated for the Tony Award for 
Best Play and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The cast features veteran Pioneer actor Miriam Salerno as Heidi, whose performance has recently earned her a 2026 NJACT Perry Award Nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play (the award will be announced in October).&nbsp;The cast also includes Ben Weisman as the Legionnaire and Ashlee Vissers as the Debater.
Don’t miss the chance to experience the play that The New York Times called “an act of civic engagement.”

Meadowbrook Country Day Camp

<h3>Families Can Explore Summer 2027 at the September 26 Open House</h3>
Families thinking ahead to summer 2027 are invited to visit Meadowbrook Country Day Camp during an Open House on Saturday, September 26, from 12–4 p.m. at 73 East Valley Brook Road in Long Valley.
The Open House is by appointment only. Families can reserve a time by emailing <a href="https://null" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">mason@meadowbrookdaycamp.com</a>.
During their visit, prospective camp families will have an opportunity to meet members of Meadowbrook’s leadership team, learn about the camp’s programs and philosophy, and tour its expansive wooded campus.
“There’s no substitute for coming to Meadowbrook, walking the grounds and seeing what makes the camp so special,” said owner Mason Goldberg. “We want families to get a real feel for the community their children can become part of.”
<h2>More Than a Summer Schedule</h2>
Meadowbrook Country Day Camp is an American Camp Association-accredited day camp located on a 50-acre campus in Long Valley. The camp serves children ages 3–15 and offers programming designed to help campers build confidence, independence, friendships and lifelong memories.
At the heart of the Meadowbrook experience are three priorities: family, connection and safety.
Campers become part of a caring, supportive community where they can form meaningful friendships, try new things and develop greater confidence and independence. Meadowbrook also places a strong emphasis on creating an environment where every camper feels safe, supported and included.
The camp’s TIGER core values — Teamwork, Integrity, Generosity, Enthusiasm and Respect — are incorporated throughout the summer, encouraging campers and staff to carry those lessons with them both at camp and beyond.
<h2>A Summer Filled With Possibilities</h2>
No two days at Meadowbrook are exactly alike.
Campers can spend their summers swimming in heated pools, playing sports, boating, mountain biking, taking on ropes and challenge courses, creating art, cooking, dancing, exploring nature and participating in special events and themed activities.
The variety allows children to enjoy the activities they already love while also discovering new interests and challenging themselves in new ways.
Older campers can also participate in travel programs that combine time at Meadowbrook with off-site adventures and experiences.
And while the activities are a big part of camp, the friendships and memories children create along the way are often what stay with them the longest.
<h2>Convenience for Busy Families</h2>
Meadowbrook also offers features designed to make summer easier for parents.
The camp provides door-to-door bus transportation throughout many North Jersey communities, with routes serving areas throughout Morris, Essex, Union, Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Middlesex and Somerset counties.
Before-care and after-care are also available, and lunch is served daily.
Another feature appreciated by Meadowbrook families is that staff tips are included in tuition, eliminating an additional end-of-summer expense.
<h2>A Place Kids Want to Come Back To</h2>
For Goldberg, whose own children have attended Meadowbrook, creating a successful camp experience goes far beyond filling a child’s day with activities.
The goal is to give campers a place where they feel known, supported and excited to return each morning.
Over the course of a summer, children have opportunities to become more independent, build confidence, develop friendships and experience the traditions and moments that make camp memorable.
Those experiences can become part of a child’s story long after the summer ends.
<h2>Plan Your Visit</h2>
Families interested in learning more about Summer 2027 can attend Meadowbrook Country Day Camp’s Open House on:
Saturday, September 26 
12–4 p.m. 
By appointment only
To RSVP, email <a href="https://null" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">mason@meadowbrookdaycamp.com</a>.

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, Permit &amp; Parcel (oprasearch.app), covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and pulls only from official sources: state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns' own municipal codes. There's no account, no email capture, and no cost.
"I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands," said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. "All of that is public record. It just wasn't in one place anyone could actually use."
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a lead-safe inspection lookup showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey's lead paint law, a searchable directory of every DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractor sorted by distance, a fire-incident map built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a radon map covering every municipality.
A companion site, njflood.zone, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA's own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site's own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TAPinto</a>'s "At Home with Holly" column.
