Our Community Seder HEAR YE!, HEAR YE!Elana Braz is coordinating our seder once again. She urges you to… “Get your pekalach ready to leave Egypt with our awesome leader Anna/Moshe. As in the past we are planning for a wonderous journey through the hagaddah and the desert. Please be in touch with Elana to coordinate the flavors of the manna we will share.”

This year’s seder theme will be WATER. We will focus on the centrality of water in the seder and the centrality of water in our lives. As a limited natural resource, the world’s water supply is currently threatened and often the source of conflict. Our Tikkun Olam committee (and anyone else who would like to contribute their two cents) will brainstorm ideas for our community seder and will link those ideas to our seder to form a cohesive whole. Please contact the Tikkun Olam committee through its chairpeople, Ruth Jampol (215-860-8903 or [email protected]) or Rob Weintraub (215-968-7616 or [email protected]) with your ideas.

At the Purim Carnival on Sunday, I was approached by someone who wanted to know if I had any comment on the murderous acts that the Jews committed against the Persians at the end of the Book of Esther. The quick answer, I replied, is that (for me, at least) we shouldn’t take it so seriously. Why? I certainly wouldn’t say the same thing about troubling parts of the Torah. But the Book of Esther is different. I believe that the whole story, besides being a historical fiction, is a big farce. There is no conclusive evidence that a King Ahashverosh or a Queen Esther existed, or that there was a big plot to kill all the Jews of Persia. Interestingly, though, the Megillah is the only book in the Tanach that doesn’t mention God, and it is the only one that uses the term “Jews” — yehudim in Hebrew. It is clear to me the Book of Esther occupies a unique place in the canon of our holy scriptures. But what exactly is that place? The Tanach, which includes the five books of Moses, all of the prophetic writings, and other writings such as Psalms, Proverbs, the five scrolls of Esther, Jonah, Lamentations, Song of Songs, and Ecclesiastes, contains a variety of genres and writing styles — narrative, poetry, instructional writings, and prayer. To my mind, it can and does also include fictional storytelling. You might then wonder then, what is the difference between Esther and the biblical texts of which we liberal Jews question the historical veracity? Biblical scholar Adele Berlin writes that it has to do with the intent of the author. She writes, “The author of Esther was not writing history; he was imitating the writing of

history, even making a burlesque of it. Historiography [the recording of authentic history] is not a comic genre, and Esther is very comic.” The Megillah is not a book to be taken seriously; every part of it is meant to be subject to total ridicule. This is the aspect of Purim that is essential, and very serious. We are commanded to party until we don’t know the difference between the absolutely righteous Mordechai and the absolutely evil Haman. That the Book of Esther is included in the Tanach tells me that there is a place for comedy and farce in our traditions and celebrations. It also tells me that comedy is holy. In a world that is full of very real Hamans and grave threats to the things we hold most dear, we are instructed to laugh, mock, and party until everything is a blur. At some point we need to make silly jokes, we need to break down all the walls, we need to remind ourselves that life is only worthwhile if there is laughter in it. Just as on Yom Kippur we are instructed to fast and atone and sober ourselves, on Purim through the exact opposite behavior we aim to achieve the same intent: remembering what is essential in our lives and returning to a life of meaning and purpose. And thus Purim sets us up wonderfully for our rebirth as a people through the holiday of Passover, which comes in a few short weeks! I look forward to celebrating with you at our annual Community Social Justice Seder on March 30th. Blessings, Rabbi Anna

Spiritual Life News The next Spiritual Life committee meeting is Sun-day March 7 at 1 p.m. at Bobbie Posmontier’s house at 32 N. Lincoln Ave., Newtown, 18940. All congregants are invited to attend. The “Jewish Sensibilities and End of Life Deci-sions" workshop with Rabbi Dayle Friedman takes place Sunday, March 14th at 1–2:45 p.m. The flyer with complete information is on page 5 of this newsletter. For any questions or comments about Spiritual Life at TvS, please contact Rabbi Anna or either of us. – Diane Gold and Bobbie Posmontier Spiritual Life Co-Chairs [email protected] or [email protected]

Y Y YTikkun Olam News Our Tikkun Olam committee (and anyone else who would like to contribute their two cents) will brainstorm ideas for our community seder and will link those ideas to our seder to form a cohesive whole. Please contact the Tikkun Olam committee through its chairpeople, Ruth Jampol (215-860-8903 or [email protected]) or Rob Weintraub (215-968-7616 or [email protected]) with your ideas. Also, be sure to see the flyer on page 8 for a jobs program TvS is participating in on Monday, March 8.

TvS Tweens and Teens The “tweens” (up through grade 7) got together at the Bortman’s home (friends of Debby, Al, and Austin Bossio). The Bortman’s and other Yardley families entertained us with icebreakers, movies, and ice cream. The main purpose of our get together was to get to know Jewish teens in our area, pack shelach manot bags [Purim gift bags] for the Patz House (Sinai Hospital) in Baltimore, and hear about the Patz House through the eyes of a young man who has spent a good amount of time there as a patient. It turned out that Aus-tin knew this boy from his elementary school, yet had no idea that he was in a wheelchair as a result of over 12 surgeries! Although he has been through many trau-mas, he is a fun-loving young man who is very grateful to the Patz House for taking such good care of him and his family. If you want to know more about the Patz House and what you can do to help this agency, visit the website for Sinai Hospital. Our kids who attended the event were Austin, Jordyn, Michela, Kyle, and Emily. Next time we hope to have even MORE TvSers! We would like each family to contribute a monthly idea for Tikkun Olam. Each month a family will pres-ent their family’s idea to the “Tweens” and “Teens.” The Tweens/Teens families will present the ideas and we will get together to fulfill the mitzvot! More info to follow. Please contact Debby Bossio with your ideas and suggestions at [email protected].

Congregation Tzedek v’Shalom presents a special workshop

“Jewish Sensibilities and End of Life Decisions”

Guest speaker: Rabbi Dayle Friedman Director of Hiddur: The Center for Aging and Jewish Life

Reconstructionist Rabbinical College

Sunday, March 14, 2010 George School Meeting House.

Rt. 413 Newtown, PA 1:00 pm – 2:45 pm

Judaism embraces life and accepts death as part of the natural cycle of life. This workshop addresses the hard decisions that we may have to make as the end of life approaches, for ourselves or for our loved ones. We will explore how these difficult decisions are guided and informed by Jewish spiritual wisdom and traditions. “The days of our lives are seventy, maybe eighty if we are strong…they are soon gone and fly away. SO TEACH US TO TREASURE EACH DAY, that we may attain a heart of wisdom”. Psalm 90

Then thank you to those shpielmeisters — Naomi, Carolyn, and Ralph — who helped move the evening along, announcing shpiels, acting in multiple shpiels, crowning and re-crowning our ever-changing monarch, and who knows what else. Thank you to Wendy Friedman and her band of parents who made sure our school shpielers had all of their props and were where

Tzedek v’Shalom Board Update: Ruth • The Board has been working on supporting volun-

teers, renewing Rabbi Anna’s contract, and fiscal soundness: increasing donations, membership, and fundraising. We are pleased to have had growth in new membership when most congregations are experiencing a loss of membership during this economic recession.

• The Board will be working to align committee work with core purpose and mission, revise our bylaws, and encourage more volunteer participa-tion and recruit new leadership.

• Board positions that remain open: Fundraising and Intergenerational community events.

• Special report on our new torah: We recently had an appraisal of our new torah in order to insure it. In the process, we discovered an issue that we must now address — the condition of a significant por-tion of the scroll. We are looking for a few con-gregants to take on the task of learning more about the torah, considering our options for what to do, and then making a recommendation to the Board. Meanwhile, the torah has been insured for the price we paid for it.

Treasurer’s Report: Joel We are head of budget because members are paying earlier, donations are up, and we have 6 new families. Joel reminded us, “We are all on the membership com-mittee…Tell your friends about us.”

Committee ReportsCommunication: Jerry Manas

• We have been using the following technology to improve our communications for outreach and op-erations: Google group is being used as a list serve, Google docs to allow more and easier collabora-tion, Twitter and Facebook.

• All agree: our website created by Garfield Group looks great and is easy to maintain. Regularly up-dated, it shows upcoming events, and we now have a yartzeit page online.

• We are working with a media list to increase publicity.

• Continuing efforts include Naomi Mindlin with the newsletter and Noa Kuzma with weekly announce-ments.

Education: Rabbi Anna (in Wendy Friedman’s stead)

• Many families are new to religious education• Rabbi Anna has been working to diminish the

school/shul divide: Services are included in school every week building competence in children when they attend services; for Tu B’Shvat and Purim, we had one congregational celebration.

• Plans are underway to create an Education Com-mittee to look at the goals of the school as well as to plan events

Fundraising: Noa Kuzma (in Wendy Friedman’s stead)

• We need more members on this committee.• The January Chocolate dance party raised more

than $500.• Sing Along Fiddler on the Roof will be March 21.

Josh Boswell is planning the extra activities that will accompany the movie. He is seeking a fiddler.

• Flea Market May 16: Please contribute items to sell.

Membership: Joel Bacher (in Carolyn Bacher’s stead) We have 55 members (family and singles), includ-ing 6 new individual members or families since the beginning of this fiscal year.

Spiritual Life: Bobbie Posmontier/Diane GoldThe committee is working to serve as a “spiritual

compass” for our congregation. Upcoming holiday celebrations and special events include:

• End of Life presentation and discussion March 14 with Rabbi Dayle Friedman (though not planned as a fundraising event, we will be collecting donations)

• “Tzedek and Friends:” This group for in-person job networking is growing “virally.” Next meeting

Congregational Meeting SummaryOn Sunday February 21, 2010, Tzedek v’Shalom members gathered for our Annual Meeting to hear all about this year’s doings and to offer ideas about future directions. Attendees included 24 participants representing 17 families. The following is a summary of the summary by our TvS Board Secretary Jennifer Paget. For

the complete four-page, unedited summary, please contact Jennifer Paget at [email protected].

is Monday 3/8 at Newtown Presbyterian (See flyer on page ???).

• Retreat is May 21–22, 2010 at Diamond Ridge in Jamison

• Second Night Pesach Seder March 30

Tikkun Olam: Ruth This year’s efforts so far include job networking (in collaboration with Spiritual Life and the Quakers), collecting necessities for Haitian refugees, and our col-lection for one family at Christmas. TvS members are continuing efforts to oppose gas drilling, inspired by the informative presentation by our own Talia Delone on the imminent dangers and hazards of drilling for gas in Pennsylvania. In general, the committee is attempt-ing to bring more tikkun olam learning, discussion, and action to congregational services and celebrations. Ideas for future efforts include a speaker series on social justice, facilitating volunteer opportunities, ongoing Israel discussion, forming a children of aging parents’ group, and current events discussions.

Ruth then presented a review of Tzedek v’Shalom’s Core Purpose and Mission Statement. She reviewed our past work to develop a core purpose to serve as our “North Star,” along with our core values and missions, as we develop goals and allocate resources. She pointed out that after working on our core purpose, we discov-ered that what we had developed lined up well with the original vision. We were pleased that we had sustained such continuity even with growth and turnover. We then began to work on planning committee goals and activities in line with our core purpose, core values and mission. Jerry Manas followed up with a TvS Goals — Brainstorming Session. He gave a brief overview of short term/long term goal development process and broke us into groups of 3–4 to brainstorm new ideas for committees. At the end, everyone present rated the ideas for each committee. Next, committees will analyze how to use these ideas to best meet the congre-gation’s core purpose and values.
