Shiran,
Put #!/bin/bash at the start of the script. By default Jenkins calls sh,
which is not the same as bash and sh does not have variable indirection.
You can also safely remote the backslash if you use triple single-quotes:
node() {
script='''#!/bin/bash
export FIRST_FOLDER=path/to/folder
export TEMP=FIRST_FOLDER
echo ${!TEMP}
'''
sh script
}
