Temple Beth Torah Shalom January/February 2014 Issue

From the Rabbi’s Desk

Think about Jewish learning with the rabbi and friends in the comfort of your own home during and after a casual dinner. We have already had one such dinner discussion on the topic of the life of King David (see ALL the topics below), at the home of the Temple president with some friends and family, and I think everyone really enjoyed it. Despite David’s prominence and fame, many aspects of his life and reign, and many of the personalities who revolved around his life, are far from well-known and fascinating in and of themselves. From the lively conversation that ensued it was apparent that everyone present found the environment and the engagement in Jewish learning on a mature, adult level, stimulating and challenging. I would like to interest as many members of Temple Beth Torah as possible in taking part in what I think will be an exciting program, whose name I am borrowing from my Champaign congregation—“Take Out Judaism”. My offer to each of you is that you pick a date, some friends (6, 8 or as many as you feel comfortable with) to

invite for dinner, and a topic for discussion from the list I provide for you below, and then we will have a date for socializing over food and studying an exciting Jewish topic.

Here are the topics I suggest, based on a series of books by well-known Jewish authors like Elie Wiesel, Harold Kushner or David Mamet) issued by Nextbook Press [which are all available if you wish to purchase them in advance, though reading the book will not required, for my presentation and the discussion which ensues will be sufficient unto itself]: Abraham Cahan (Yiddish journalist and fiction writer); Sholem Aleichem (Yiddish writer); The Book of Job: When Bad Things Happen to a Good Person; When General Grant Expelled the Jews; Sacred Trash: The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza; The Eichman Trial; Burnt Books: Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav and Franz Kafka; Hillel: If Not Now, When?; Yehuda Halevi (medieval poet and philosopher); Jewish Songwriters/American Songs; The Wicked Son (David Mamet on Self-hating Jews); Rashi (medieval Jewish commentator); Barney Ross (American boxer); The Jewish Body; Resurrecting Hebrew; Benjamin Disraeli (novelist and British Prime Minister of Jewish descent); King David, Maimonides (medieval philosopher); Jews and Power; Marc Chagall (20th c. Jewish artist); Emma Lazarus. Just pick a topic and give me a couple of weeks advance notice so I can review my notes (and get my copy of the book).

The way to arrange “Take Out Judaism” at your home is just to give me a call or drop me an email, so we can set up a date that is mutually agreeable. Help me actualize that which I tell every one of our Bar and Bat Mitzvah students—Jewish learning is a lifelong process. Make a New Year’s resolution and come learn with me and your friends during the secular New Year 2014!

B’Shalom,

Rabbi Norman Klein


I recently had a wonderful experience that I am happy to have an opportunity to share with you. I was invited this past holiday season to take part in the Cardinal Newman High School Thanksgiving Inter-Faith Prayer Service. Usually, they invite Rabbi Pinsky, but he was on a cruise this year for Chanukah and I was delighted to be able to represent our Jewish clergy at this extraordinary event. When speaking with Peggy Skantar, the Campus Minister, I was told that they had never had a Cantor as part of the program before and, although the other clergy persons would be speaking or delivering prayers, I thought it would be interesting for the students to be exposed to some of the music of our liturgy. Knowing we were celebrating Thanksgiving, I figured that the most appropriate blessing to share would be Shehecheyanu which states, “Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, for giving us life, sustaining us, and enabling us to reach this season.” Could any prayer be more appropriate when intending to give thanks? I decided I would explain the prayer to the students, sing a simple version of it, a

more folk version (the one we are used to hearing at services), and then a more modern interpretation of the words. Beth Schafer, Cantorial soloist and very talented songwriter, wrote a song based on the text of Shehecheyanu called “A Way to Say Ah.” Her song lyrics remind us to take time during our daily lives to recognize the beauty, spirituality and true miracles that are always around us and to thank God we are alive.

So I brought my guitar, processed into the gymnasium of the high school with the Reverends and Deacons, not really knowing what to expect. I was warmed by the sincerity of their words and I was struck by the similarity of their messages.

When I got up to make my presentation, the kids weren’t sure about me either. They listened politely about the Shehecheyanu. They fidgeted a bit on the risers. I introduced “A Way to Say Ah.” Telling them how easy the words were… “Ah, Mmm, Oh.” I heard an “Uh oh” from the minister behind me when the kids started to giggle. It is high school, after all. Then I began the song. By the second chorus the kids were clapping and by the third chorus they were singing along. The energy in the room changed. Hundreds of young adults joining me in words of thanks to God. It didn’t matter that I was Jewish. The message is universal and we could all feel it.

At the end of the program, I received two unexpected gifts. The students had collected food and gift cards for needy families and the student council president presented a huge basket to each of the members of the clergy to bring back to our congregations so that families who may not have, would be able to enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving meal. The second gift came from Reverend Carr, the President of Cardinal Newman. In his closing remarks, he thanked me and quoted the song I had shared, stating that he would always remember the very appropriate and immortal words, “Ah, Mmm, Oh.”

After the program, I received so many compliments from both staff members and students as well as an invitation to return next year. My heart was full of gratitude and joy, my trunk was full of food for a beloved congregant. Rarely have I entered a Thanksgiving feeling so blessed.

I hope that your holiday season has brought joy to your family, that the lights of the Chanukiah glowed bright in your homes and hearts, and that this secular New Year brings you blessings abound.

B’Shalom, Cantor Carrie Barry

From the Preschool

The past few months in the preschool have been busy ones. Our days have been filled with every day ac<vi<es that grow curious minds and develop skills while providing the backdrop for teaching the many Jewish Values that are intricately woven into our curriculum. The lessons of Tzedakah, Feeding the Hungry (Ma’ achil Re’ayvim ), and Honoring the Elderly (Hiddur P’nay-‐Zakayn) took center stage in the programming at the school. In the community, the children and their families donated non-‐perishable food for our school-‐wide food drive, Chanukah giNs for the Alpert Jewish Family and Children’s Service, and gently used costumes to send to families in Israel for Purim. In the classrooms, children, parents and teachers worked together to decorate costumes, to prac<ce songs and even to cook for our school-‐wide Chanukah/Thanksgiving Feast. One of the most profound lessons of Honoring the Elderly (Hiddur P’nay-‐Zakayn) was learned at the Morselife Geriatric Center, where last month the PreK classes sang Thanksgiving and Chanukah songs and then handed out the cards that they lovingly made for the residents.

The next day I received an email from the from the director of the center which read: “My resident and her husband came back to Morse crying telling me what a great 6me they had talking to all of the children.” I tear up every <me I see and hear our preschoolers sing the Chanukah blessings. The connec<on to our tradi<ons provides that lifelong iden<ty that will last their whole lives.

Crea<ve costume design this year incorporated both the Chanukah and Thanksgiving symbolism. For Chanukah, the children were treated to latkes and applesauce by the Brotherhood in collabora<on with the Volunteer Parent Organiza<on and also received giNs dreidels and gelt from the Temple Sisterhood.

We will begin the secular New Year with an extension of the earlier lessons of Gemilut Chasadeem (Acts of Lovingkindness). There will be planned ac<vi<es for the children including Tza’ar Baalay Chayim (Compassion to animals) and Hachnasat Orchim (Welcoming Guests). Fresh from winter break, the children will greet, “Mazel” a beau<ful life size prop from the book, the Shabbat Puppy, by Leslie Kimmelman. “Mazel” is part of the Traveling Curriculum received from the Commission for Jewish Educa<on. Through the story of Mazel, The Shabbat Puppy, this innova<ve program infuses the language, adventures and Jewish values into the day-‐to-‐day ac<vi<es of preschool children.

Ready for some Mitzvot metaphors?

The prac<ce of mitzvot is something like the Law of Iner<a, the high school physics rule that we all learned to recite in our sleep: An object in mo,on tends to stay in mo,on. An object at rest tends to stay at rest. We learned throughout our “science as a requirement” days that when you drop a ball from the roof of a building, it picks up speed at a remarkable pace. And it takes coming into contact with an obstacle of tremendous strength and power (the ground) to stop its momentum (and even then, a rubber ball isn’t going to let a hard surface stop it. It just bounces right back and con<nues its graceful flight).

Such is the incorpora<on of mitzvot into our daily lives. It’s hard to know where to begin. The task seems daun<ng and overwhelming. It’s easy to use this trepida<on

as an excuse to remain inert, incapable of seeing our lives as different or more fulfilling than they are now-‐ without an effort so tremendous and dispropor<onal to the benefits obtained that it isn’t really worth it at all.

But learning and living mitzvot isn’t about taking a dive head first into freezing deep water, never having had the luxury of swimming lessons, and being shocked by the sudden change in body temperature. Rather, it’s a gradual process of beginning in the shallow end and adjus<ng to the climate-‐ learning the strokes from a knowledgeable and confident instructor who shares the wisdom necessary to reach toward the depths of understanding and fulfillment.

During the month of January we, as a congrega<on, will have several opportuni<es to dip pour toes in the shallow mitzvah waters. The Religious School and Preschool students will have an opportunity to learn about the mitzvah “Tzar Ba’alei Chayim”, the mitzvah of taking care of animals. Each year the Friedman Commission for Jewish Educa<on and PJ Library put together a traveling curriculum that visits our school. This year the curriculum teaches the mitzvah of taking care of animals through the use of the book, The Shabbat Puppy. We will have a collec<on bin for supplies for Peggy Adams at the entrance to our school wing. Please take a look at the flyer included in the Shalom for suggested items to donate.

As part of our mul<ple Mitzvah Day opportuni<es this year, on Sunday, January 26th from 1:00-‐4:00 pm, our congrega<on will sponsor a family fun day in 3 different parks around Wellington. We will join forces with the Village of Wellington, Safe Neighborhoods program and invite local neighborhood kids to come play with us in the park. For more informa<on, see the flyer in the Shalom or contact Marcia Weber at [email protected].

As we begin this journey towards doing more mitzvot, we find that the momentum of incorpora<ng mitzvot into our lives is just like a ball thrown off the roof. A linle push and we find that we can (and want) to do more and more. With greater ease, we come to understand that the effort does lead to a reward and a sense of accomplishment. Mitzvah Goreret Mitzvah…one mitzvah does lead to another, and being righteous is good!

B’Shalom, Jodi Kaufman, RJE

Dear Friends, !I want to begin with a great big "thank you" to the Shalom Task Force (Diane Marks, Jill Cohen, Marcia Weber and Sylvia Windmueller), congregants, supporters and advertisers who participated in bringing the Shalom back to a printed format! !I can hardly believe it's a new year! Last year was incredibly exciting - we celebrated Rabbi Pinsky's tenure at TBT and welcomed Rabbi Klein as Interim Rabbi, the Search Committee met many wonderful rabbinic candidates, we said thank you to Susan Kellner, Rich Lebowitz and Philip Levine who stepped down as officers of our Board of Trustees and welcomed Cheryl Cordes, Steven Warner and Jeff Sharkey as our new officers, we made improvements to our facility, and many more wonderful things. !Now, as we move into 2014, I hope everyone explores all the opportunities Temple Beth Torah has to offer; the chance to make new friendships, to enjoy beautiful spiritual services or a new education class, to have a good time at a social event, or participate in a social justice project, etc. !As you sort through this beautiful Shalom, please look at the calendar and read the flyers. Come join your fellow members - you will be enriched! !Happy New Year to all of you! Sara Marcus, President !

!Temple Beth Torah Recipient of the Coleman Summit Award ! Every summer the Camp Committee and selected Rabbis, Educators, and Temple Presidents are invited to come to Camp Coleman to participate in meetings and programs to further their involvement and <inancial commitment to the camp. They are able to tour the camp to see the upgrades from the previous year and hear what Bobby Harris, the Director of Camp Coleman, plans to do with their continued <inancial support. ! This past summer I had the honor of representing Temple Beth Torah at the awards ceremony to accept The Coleman Summit Award for having more than 10% of our religious school students attend Camp Coleman this summer. Temple Beth Torah had 34 children attend Coleman this summer, and I could not be prouder. On our !Temple Website there is a picture of our students/campers holding the award outside of the Hadar Ochel (the dining room). !

Having been a nurse at Coleman for the past 15 summers, I can think of nowhere else that I would want to be each and every summer. It is my Jewish home, a place where everyone can express their Judaism in any way they choose. There are creative services, Jewish music and dance, Jewish cooking, Judaic art, and daily lunch and learn sessions with Rabbis and various educators from all over the southeast. My Jewish identity and commitment is enhanced every year as a result of my being at Camp Coleman. Seeing our children grab hold of that love of Judaism ignites that spark inside of me; L’Dor V’Dor from generation to generation may Coleman continue to instill the spark in me, in you, and in your children. !

Should you have a child between the ages of 9 and 18 consider giving them the gift of a summer at Camp Coleman. For those who have graduated from High School and want to work at camp there are opportunities as well. I will gladly answer any questions you or they might have or contact the camp directly. The Camp Coleman website is: Coleman.urjcamps.org for more information or to sign up for next year. !

This is a recent article I wrote about my trip to Germany with an organization Germany Close Up. Germany Close Up brings Jewish Americans to Germany several times a year on programs to learn about Jewish Berlin in Post WWII society, the Jewish and minority populations of Berlin and the Israeli-German relationship. !Picking Up Pieces of my Jewish Identity in Germany. !Germany is a country with a complicated past, that I have complicated feeling towards. A place I never imagined visiting but there I was in the heart of a land that killed six million of my people. After what was a relatively short flight, in comparison with my usual travels to Israel, I landed in Germany. It was just past 6:00 am and still dark outside. As I exited the plane, and boarded the bus, so many thoughts entered my mind, one of which was that I just arrived in enemy territory. It was cold, dark and rainy as I went through customs and got on the public bus to my hotel.

Along the drive I passed houses and residential areas before the city center. Again my thoughts turned dark. Who lived in these houses during the war, I thought? Did a family of Jewish people live there? Were they kicked out? What happened to them? While walking along the streets through Berlin I encountered small square gold stones called “stumbling stones.” They are placed throughout the city in front of houses and places where Jewish people lived or worked engraved with the victim’s name, birth date and deportation camp location during the Holocaust. The stones are controversial in Jewish German society. , Some argue that the stones are a permanent reminder of the war while others say it’s just another way for Germans to keep stepping all over the Jews. Above all it is a small way in which Germany society is commemorating the victims of the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis.

Responsibility and reconciliation are ever-present and difficult topics for the German people. The big questions that loom are “How did this happen? How do we move on? How do we take responsibility? How do I deal with what my family did during the war? We broached these and other discussion topics with members of the activist group Action Reconciliation Service for Peace (ARSP). Each year ARSP plans a commemorative service to honor the fallen Jews and the events of Kristallnacht.

During my visit we spent the day at Sachsenhausen, a concentration camp right outside of Berlin where Jews, Soviet soldiers and others who opposed the Nazi regime were sent for forced labor and extermination. . Walking through the gates and passing through the infamous words “Arbeit Macht Frei” above me, I experienced that the eerie feeling again, similar to when I first landed. I stood there taking a few deep breaths in and out before I could walk again. The weather was cold, dark and rainy, and the atmosphere was gloomy and dreary, just as I expected it to be. The enormity of the place scared me. The vastness of the camp expanded for miles and was surrounded by walls. Standing inside the remains of the crematorium – the site of countless, senseless murders were ominous. We held a tefila service there to remember those who lost their lives at Sachsenhausen and the Holocaust. We remembered those who were exterminated only because they were Jewish and acknowledged that hatred like this still exists in society today.

With the experience, I discovered a greater appreciation for Germany and German society. Prior to this trip, I had little knowledge of the guilt that some Germans live with each day. Some are ashamed of family members who were part of the SS or Nazi regime. Others are uncomfortable living in the shadow of the crimes of past generations. I remain conflicted about my connection to Germany but appreciate the many ways the country has accepted responsibility for their past mistakes and the steps they are taking today to right the wrongs of the past. While we can forgive, we can never forget. I am still left with one big question: “Can the Germans ever overcome their guilt? !

Hello, Sisterhood Members and Congregation! !We hope everyone enjoyed their Chanukah and welcomed 2014 just the way you wanted to! The new secular year brings us new roles in Sisterhood as Darlene Lebowitz has stepped down as co-president of Sisterhood and Joy Pitterman was appointed by the board as the new co-president through June 2014. We thank Darlene for performing her role as Sisterhood Co-President and look forward to her future participation in Sisterhood events. Joy, congratulations and we appreciate you continuing to take the minutes at our meetings in addition to your duties as Co-President! !Sisterhood was busy this past fall with dinner and Havdalah in the sukkah in October and of course our BINGOtini event in November. BINGOtini was a huge success with over 50 attendees enjoying martinis and BINGO with our wonderful BINGO caller Ron Parker. The event’s success really goes to Barbara Barashick and all who attended. We can’t thank you enough for your time and generosity making this our best FUNdraiser in years! Also, in December Sisterhood shared and led a beautiful Shabbat worship service, thanks to all who participated! !NOW, events to look forward to: we have a Tu B’shevat Wine Tasting that will be held on Saturday, January 18 from 6-8 PM. We’ll enjoy a light Mediterranean fare with some delicious wines to sample and purchase if you’d like. Its $10 per person, so come on out and enjoy some good food, good wine and good friends. Please contact Barbara Barashick at [email protected] if you have any questions and to RSVP. Also, Brotherhood and Sisterhood will be having a bowling event on Saturday, January 25th at 7PM, details to follow. !We will be hosting our paid-up membership dinner on Wednesday, February 12, an invitation will be sent to you if you are a paid-up member of Sisterhood. Not sure if you paid this year? Contact Andi Parker at [email protected] and she can help. Not a member? It’s not too late for you to join! All it takes is a $36 donation to the TBT Sisterhood and you can join us at our February 12th dinner. !You might ask, where do all these donations go? Let us tell you…for Chanukah we provided dreidels and gelt to our preschool students, a box of candles for all Religious School students and gifts to the office and custodial staff. We also were able to provide a scholarship to Sue Thornton to represent our Temple and Sisterhood at the URJ’s Biennial in San Diego, CA this past December. Sue is our WRJ [Women of Reform Judaism] Centennial Representative and she also represented us at WRJ’s Centennial in San Diego. Thanks Sue and we look forward to you sharing about your experience. !Mark you calendars now for upcoming events in the spring. Our nominating committee will be accepting nominations for all Sisterhood board positions for the 2014-2016 term from now through February. Contact Barbara Barashick at [email protected] for more information about participating as an officer or member on Sisterhood’s board or being involved in planning an event. !Also, on Sunday, March 9 there will be a BUNKO FUNdraiser from 1-4 PM and Tuesday, April 8 will be our annual Passover Women’s Seder at 7:30 PM. !Of course, we must mention that our beautiful Judaica Boutique is filled with a variety of gift ideas in a price range for everyone. We continue to offer timely kippot orders for bar and bat mitzvahs and have the ability to order any tallit you’d like at competitive prices. Also, your purchases at the gift shop have no tax and are tax deductible, too! If our hours don’t meet yours, just give the Temple a call and Sue Thornton will schedule an appointment for you. Don’t forget, we’ll be having a Chanukah sale this month too! !That’s about it for now. Thanks for your interest in Sisterhood and we look forward to seeing you around Temple! !Shalom always! !Andi Parker & Joy Pitterman Co-Presidents the Temple Beth Torah Sisterhood !

I hope you have enjoyed reading your ‘hardcopy’ Shalom. The Board decided to investigate whether we could switch to a printed bulletin and this is our first try. Philip Levine had been preparing the Shalom for 5 years, so it was a great shock when he decided to leave our congregation. As chair of the Shalom Task Force, I thought our task was to decide how we would pay for the printed version and select a printer. With the other members of the Task Force — Marcia Weber, Jill Cohen and Sylvia Windmueller — the group is accomplishing this. We have a grateful advertisement from the Meyer Academy to subsidize the cost of this first issue. Now we need others to step up with:!

! 1. More advertisements — if you know a company or member who would like to advertise in the ! Shalom, please ask me ([email protected] or 752-8311) or Lois in the office for the forms and ! price list.!

! 2. Become a “Friend of the Shalom” and give a contribution to keep the Shalom in hardcopy.!

This is my first endeavor at designing a newsletter. I welcome your comments and suggestions in order to make future issues better. To make it the best, if someone knows MS/Publisher or Apple Pages (I used Pages) and would like to take on the Design duties for the bi-monthly Shalom, I would jump for joy! This has been a tough learning-curve and would take an experience user much less time.!

I sooooo appreciate everyone who needed to submit articles and/or flyers. Everything was submitted by the deadline and it made meeting the printer’s deadline possible. Thank you, thank you.!

Diane Marks!
