CBI Social Action Committee Will Host a Spring Shoe Drive

In the spring, we will be collecting shoes for

Soles4Souls. This is a wonderful organization

that takes shoes that are not in use and puts

them on the feet of those in need. This, in

turn, also helps the environment by recycling shoes that

may otherwise be sent to a landfill. We encourage everyone

to start cleanout out your closets and saving adult and

children’s gently used or new shoes. Simply cleaning out

your closets can make a significant difference

in the quality of life of someone in need.

SAVE YOUR SHOES PLEASE.

COLLECTION STARTS April 12 - May12 @ CBI

On Saturday, March 20th, Hannah

Paley will be called to the Torah for her

bat mitzvah. Hannah is a student in The

Milwaukee Jewish Day School.

One of her greatest passions is dancing.

She dances competitively, and also finds

time to play tennis.

Her Mitzvah Project has three parts. She is raising

money for the Make a Wish Foundation and making

blankets for foster children. She is also working hard

on raising awareness about different charities and their

causes.

Hannah is the daughter of Sharyl and Bob Paley and

has a sister, Danya and a brother, Avi.

Joining her on this wonderful day will be her grand-

parents Phil & Dorene Paley and Rosalie Levine. Her

grandpa, Donald Levine of blessed memory, will be in

her prayers.

Your entire CBI Family wishes you a Mazal Tov!

Off The Bimah...by Rabbi Herber

As we put away our groggers and our masks, we prepare to put away a lot more – all our

dishes and pots and other utensils used during the year, and the food we can’t consume

during Pesah, as we get ready for the holiday of Passover, the season of our freedom.

There is probably no other holiday in the year so all consuming. All our muscles are used.

While during the Yamim Noraim, the Fall holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we

may clean our homes to prepare for the new year, the level of effort in no way approaches what goes on in the

Spring. We scrub. We schlep. We run to the store. We run to the store again. We cook. We juggle our

budget. We run to the store again. We learn to spot that crumb of hametz at 50 yards!

And at the same time we use the muscles of our souls. We do what the Haggadah tells us to do – to look

upon ourselves as though we had gone out from Egypt, from bondage, from slavery. I remember a conversation

I once had with a grocery store clerk in Pennsylvania. She told me that as an Italian she had always enjoyed

going to her friend’s Passover seder. She lamented that her Jewish friend was thinking about giving up on the

idea of having a seder because her children were all grown up and gone. I told her that now was the time to

really do Passover, to take the obligation seriously of considering how we have gone out from oppression.

How have we been freed with God’s help, from bondage this year? And also, remember that at the end of

the Torah, the Israelites had still not gotten into Eretz Hakodesh, the Promised Land. The story of the Torah is

the story of process, of a journey, of leaving the past behind and following a column of fire – of the Spirit, of

passion, of a faith in the future. Whether we know what our personal promised land will be, if we have had the

courage to leave oppression behind, to follow our own pillar of fire across our own desert, we understand the

message of Pesah

Cleaning, cooking, shlepping, running to the store . . . and at the same time assessing our progress across our

desert. No wonder we’re exhausted!

Wishing you and your family a very happy Pesah!

Rabbi Herber

From Our Hazzan!!! A

1-2-3-4 OPEN UP THE KREMLIN DOOR

5-6-7-8 LET MY PEOPLE EMIGRATE!

These are the words we chanted many years ago to show solidarity with Soviet Jewry in their fight for their

Freedom - a continuous theme throughout my school years. In my day school, we learned how Jews in the Soviet Union

were not free to practice Judaism as we could in America. We wrote letters to Mikhail Gorbachev urging him to let the Jews

be free. We wrote letters to “refuseniks” our own age letting them know we cared. In 1987, my family traveled to Washing-

ton DC to march in support of Soviet Jews. Throughout all of our efforts, we were hopeful, yet skeptical. The communist

Soviet government was too strong, we thought. They would never give in to any foreign pressure.

Then suddenly - or so it seemed - something amazing happened. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Jews we had

fought for so long and hard, were now free to emigrate. Not only that, but many would be moving to our neighborhoods.

They would even be going to school with us. We did it!

But the zeal we had demonstrated in fighting for the Soviet Jews’ freedom did not carry over when it came to

actually accepting them in person. As middle school students, we did not know how to relate to our Soviet classmates.

They looked different. They talked different. They… just didn’t fit in. And we made little effort to help them do so.

In truth, it was easy to fight for the rights of people we did not know, whom we had never seen. But when faced

with the reality of the situation, we did not rise to the occasion as freedom fighters. Rather, we became the new oppressors.

Did I personally take part in ridiculing our Soviet classmates? Not really. But sadly, neither did I make a concerted effort to

be welcoming. Nor did I go out of my way to be friendly or encourage others to do so.

While I cannot change how my classmates and I acted when we were younger, Pesah offers us a constant reminder

of our obligation to be better. Throughout the Torah, we are told to be kind to strangers, for we were strangers in Egypt. At

the seder, we sing of slavery and of the joys of freedom. While there are many well-known songs, if there is one signature

melody of Pesah, it is the tune for Adir Hu. This melody is one of several referred to as a “Misinai tune,” tunes so old they

are said to have been given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. In addition, we also sing the Adir Hu melody when chanting

Mi Khamokha in the Ma’ariv service and for Hodu Ladonai in Hallel.

As the shofar acts as a wake-up call on Rosh Hashana, the Adir Hu melody tells us that it is Pesah, reminding us of

our past as strangers in a foreign land, and of our obligation to comfort and welcome the strangers in our community.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy and welcoming Pesah.

--Hazzan Stein

2010 Woman of Achievement Congregation Beth Israel has chosen Marlene Deutsch as their 2010 Woman of Achievement. Mark your calendars

for Sunday, May 2nd, when our annual Woman of Achievement Torah Fund Luncheon will be held at Beth El Ner

Tamid.

Many of you are aware of Marlene’s exhaustive dedication over the years to both Congregation Beth Israel and Sister-

hood . She is a very deserving recipient of this honor. We hope that you will join us at the luncheon to honor her.

CBI has jointly sponsored this annual event with Beth El for many years. Beth El’s Woman of Achievement this year

is Nancy Kellman.

Invitations for this event will be mailed in April. If you have any questions, please call Debbie Alpert at 414-351-

1077. If you would like to make a donation to the Torah Fund in Marlene’s honor, you can do so through the CBI

office or by mailing a check to Debbie Alpert.

On Sunday, Feb. 7, our morning minyan proudly joined Conser-

vative synagogues from around the world for the Federation of

Jewish Men's Clubs World Wide Wrap, a day to celebrate and

educate on the wearing of t’fillin. Rabbi Herber provided some

stirring words of his own, explaining how this daily ritual is truly

a form of betrothal to Adonai.

Do you know David Wolkenstein? He's the guy that may have asked for your soda

can tab. For years, David, a member of the Men's Club Board and Special Executive

Board Liaison, has been collecting the can tops to benefit the Ronald McDonald House (RMH). Here he is in front of the

RMH with a couple very large bags of the tabs. Want to help? Feel free to start collecting your tabs and either turn them in,

or give them to David. We're exceptionally proud of his caring work for this worthwhile organiza-

tion!

At this writing, we haven't yet had the Men's Club sponsored CBI Purim Carnival. But by now,

it's come and gone. Hope you joined us for the fun!

March 13 is the annual Men's Club Shabbat. The speaker is still being confirmed, so for now, it's

top secret. But do join us for a special Shabbat and Kiddush.

The Men's Club is planning a scotch tasting for April. Keep a lookout for the announcement. It is

sure to be a unique, memorable event.

Lastly, if you have received your Men's Club dues statement and still haven't returned it, please do so ASAP.

Your small contribution helps us sponsor so many events that add significance to our lives at CBI.

L’shalom,

Mike Spanjar, President

CBI Men’s Club

Helping our students build connections to the Jewish community, both past and present, is an integral

part of our school’s mission. On Sunday, February 7th our 3rd-7th grade classes had the opportunity to

experience the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum with the 3rd-7th grade students from

Madison’s Conservative synagogue, the Beth Israel Center. The students really got a lot out of the fieldtrip.

Before going into the exhibit, the students from the two schools spent some time together learning about the

Second Temple Period and how it relates to the theories of the origins of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They learned

about King Herod and the Roman control in the land of Israel and about the different groups of Jews that ex-

isted in Jerusalem, like the Hasmoneans, the Essenes, the Sadducees and the Pharisees. This helped them un-

derstand why the Essenes created a settlement in Qumron and why documents may have been stored in the

caves in that area.

Overall the students were really impressed with the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit itself. In our wrap-up discussion,

we asked the students what excited them most about what they saw. I want to share a few of their impres-

sions. One student really liked the artifacts from the exhibit, especially an oil lamp containing a shofar, a me-

norah and a lulav and etrog. She was excited that the symbols we use today are the same ones used 2,000

years ago. Another student thought that it was really neat to be able to read the ancient Hebrew texts and even

recognize words like “Israel” and “Gabriel.” A third student was moved by the pride she felt in realizing that

the Torah as we know it has really been studied and read by Jews for such a long time.

This was the third year that we have had the joint fieldtrip with Madison’s Beth Israel Center. Having the an-

nual fieldtrip has really enhanced our school program and has enabled our students to make connections with

other Conservative Jews living in Wisconsin. I am already looking forward to next year’s trip!

We would like to thank Rachael Frydman, Hannah Sattler and their great committee for an

amazing educational and spiritual Sisterhood Shabbat experience! We would also like to

thank Rabbi Phyllis Sommer for helping us see and experience spirituality in the age of

Facebook.

While the Purim carnival was going on, CBI members and guests once again enjoyed a

tasty and successful Wine Tasting program and were able to order special wines from Otto’s

for Pesah. A big thank you to Judy Glotzer and her committee, and a special thank you to Izzy Goldberg and

Otto’s for their help and expertise! Sisterhood’s Evening Book Club is going well. Thanks to Bobby Miller we

are growing in members and the discussions are lively! This month we will be reading “Don’t Cry for Me Hot

Pastrami.” We will be meeting at the home of Luda Tynkov - 331 W. Manor Circle. Don’t forget to mark your

calendars for our Torah Fund Luncheon on Sunday, May 2nd. (Please read the article in the bulletin.)

We hope that you are enjoying the new and varied Kiddish lunches on Shabbat. Our Sisterhood is busy finding

new and different items to add to your enjoyment. We are enjoying the companionship of working together and

getting to know even more of our CBI family. We welcome your input and would love to have you join us. There

is a lot going on in the kitchen! Please pull out the enclosed flyer which will answer all of your questions. Come

to Shabbat services and stay for Kiddish lunch. There is wonderful camaraderie of fellow CBI members and it’s a

great way to meet new people. The next time you are planning to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or any special

passage in your life, contact Suzy in the office to share your celebration with your CBI family. With a donation of

$100 your special occasion will be acknowledged from the bima during announcements and a festive balloon or

plant will be placed on the sweet table with a beautiful card for everyone to see.

FROM THE ISADORE AND SYLVIA BLANKSTEIN

LIBRARY . . .by Paula Fine,Librarian

Something wonderful has happened to the library! Not only is it fully auto-

mated, but it is more patron-friendly than ever. We have completed a re-design

of the space with sections in the front for mysteries, paperbacks and periodi-

cals. The Librarian’s Shelves on the south wall feature new books as well as

Jewish classics and just plain “good reads”. You can view the library catalog

and access the Internet on the kiosk computer located on the circulation desk.

Colorful signs will direct you to each section of the library. The bright posters

on the walls and the children’s charming library art projects welcome you and

encourage you to stay awhile. No question about it - we have entered the new

decade with vitality and renewed purpose.

And... people are beginning to notice the change. They are using the

Blankstein Library as their primary resource instead of the public library. We

are buying many popular titles and patrons have told me how thrilled they were

to find them on our shelves. No more long, public library waiting lists. You

can find what you need at CBI.

PREPARING FOR PASSOVER

Passover is coming soon, but before you clean the house, buy the groceries

or make out the seder guest list, the first thing you need to do is visit the

library.

We have an extensive collection of materials to help you celebrate the

holiday. Our cookbook selection is comprehensive and includes traditional

and modern recipes and menus for people with dietary restrictions or special

preferences. We have books to help you plan and conduct a seder as well as an

outstanding array of haggadot. You will find fun and informational stories in

the children’s section to keep the little ones engaged during the seder.
