Transcript of The Messenger - ShulCloud · 2020. 10. 22. · the enormity of Alia’s appoint-ment. As Governor...
Our syna-
gogue will be
honored this
month when our board member,
Alia Garcia Ureste, will be sworn in
as a commissioner of the Texas
Holocaust and Genocide Commis-
sion. This historic appointment
reflects the recognition of Gover-
nor Rick Perry regarding the work
that our synagogue and communi-
ty has done teaching students and
adults in El Paso the message of
the Holocaust and genocide
against nations, including the
Jewish people and the Anusim. In
fact, the THGC has also issued a
contract to UTEP, to prepare
modules for teaching professors
how to address the topics of how
to guide students to make correct
ethical decisions and choices. As a
part-time faculty member of UTEP
who teaches a course covering
Judaism, the Holocaust, anti-
Semitism, and crypto-Jews, I am
truly honored to be a mentor to
Alia, the rabbi of Congregation
B’nai Zion, the Director of the
Anusim Center, and being part of
the UTEP faculty.
I am not sure if our congrega-
tion fully understands the impact
of this appointment and how each
of us should be proud to be
associated with Congregation
B’nai Zion. At a time in history
when survivors of the Holocaust
are few, when Holocaust denial is
an increasing problem on the
internet, when leaders of coun-
tries are allowed to hold symposi-
ums denying the Holocaust, when
anti-Semitism and attacks against
rabbis and Jewish institutions
throughout Europe are increasing,
we need to take a very serious
look at organizations and places
locally, state-wide, and nationally
which combat the lies, the hatred,
and the desire of our enemies to
hurt and destroy us. Our support,
both financially and through
renewed attendance at and partici-
pation in our synagogue at a time
when economic problems are
hurting us significantly, must
become a priority for us.
Sustaining the efforts of the El
Paso Holocaust Museum and the
Anusim Center must be a vital
part of our personal agenda. The
best way to confront and defeat
the evil forces out there that
dehumanize mankind through
beheadings, terrorist attacks, and
anti-Semitic activities is to stand
proud and tall, come to syna-
gogue services and activities, give
generously to our congregation,
to the Museum and Center, send
our kids to the Jewish Academy
and Talmud Torah, and protest
the lies and hateful propaganda of
our enemies. I implore each and
every one of us to WAKE UP. I am
not inventing the serious condi-
tions which are facing the very
survival of the Jewish community,
but I urge each of us to make a
serious commitment to support all
of these efforts and activities I
have mentioned.
In addition, and in a very
positive way, we should not
minimize but rather capitalize on
the enormity of Alia’s appoint-
ment. As Governor Rick Perry’s
gubernatorial appointment, Alia
Garcia Ureste will bring dedica-
tion, integrity, and commitment to
this very important commission.
Alia and her husband, Gilbert, did
their return to Judaism with me a
few years ago, visited Israel with
our synagogue, attend services
regularly, and were remarried in
the Jewish tradition under a
Huppah in our sanctuary. Last
year Alia observed her adult Bat
Mitzvah. Alia, Gilbert and their
children moved to El Paso from Ft.

Stockton to become active members of the Jewish commu-
nity, our synagogue and to provide a solid Jewish educa-
tion for her children, who now attend the El Paso Jewish
Academy, the Pre-School of the JCC and our own Talmud
Torah. In her own words, Alia told me that her appointment
serves as “evidence that family and friends, members of
Congregation B’nai Zion, and the board and supporters of
the Anusim Center, have all helped her on her journey, that
she appreciates all that we have done for her to make her
dream become a reality,” and I know that she will treat this
appointment with humility, with sincere dedication and
conviction.
It is my hope that we will attend Alia’s ceremony and
appointment which will take place on Monday, October 13
at the Anusim Center, 4100 Wallenberg at 6:30 p.m. to
8:30 p.m. That evening Minyan will be at the center instead
of the synagogue. How ironic it is that the ceremony is on
the holiday of Sukkot, when we thank God that Hashem
protected us on our way back to the Promised Land after
leaving 400 years as slaves in Egypt through the Sukkah. It
is also on Columbus Day, so in addition to celebrating his
birthday and his expedition to the New World, we also
remember the evil intentions of King Ferdinand and Queen
Isabella who tried to rid Spain of the Jewish people through
genocide and expulsion.
May we together celebrate on October 13 this year, the
achievements of our congregation for 115 years, the
contributions of the Jewish people to the world, and the
appointment of Alia Garcia Ureste as a commissioner of the
Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission.

In my time as president of Congregation B'nai
Zion, I have had the great privilege of seeing many
volunteers take the initiative to match a skill or
strength that they possess with a need in our con-
gregation and take action. Whether helping at the
office while we are short on staff, actively serving on
the board and committees, or making generous
contributions, these individuals have had an enor-
mous impact on our congregation, and all of us owe
a great deal of gratitude to them.
We have just gone through a period of serious
introspection and my hope is that each one of us can
enter this New Year with a heightened desire to join
the many volunteers already helping our congrega-
tion. I am convinced that with your commitment we
can make B'nai Zion the congregation we all desire
for the future generations.
G'mar Hatimah Tovah and have an easy fast,
Cesar Carrasco
President, Congregation B’nai Zion
By now you probably have
noticed that my messages tend to
be on the short side of the spec-
trum. This is probably due to the
fact that writing is not my forte,
mostly because of my training as
an engineer. I find comfort in the
well-documented fact that engineers tend to be less
than stellar communicators. One person that I ad-
mire for being an excellent communicator is Rabbi
Leon. I am always amazed at the eloquence with
which he can express himself through his sermons
and how he keeps us engaged.
Now, why am I starting this month’s message
with a public recognition of my “not so very good
communication skills” and Rabbi Leon’s excellence in
this area? Well, because I wholeheartedly believe
that if all of us took the time to find those things at
which we excel and made the commitment to use
them in the service of our congregation, we would
be able to make B’nai Zion a thriving community.

All of our thoughts and
prayers were answered when I
received the following email from
our WLCJ National President
stating the approval of El Paso's
Sisterhood transferring from the
IntraContinental Region to the
Pacific Southwest Region. Yes,
the approval had to be made by the national board
and thanks to Margie Miller, who pushed a positive
and aggressive outline of why we should change
over made it a reality. Margie is the wonder woman
who paid us a visit in the midst of planning a nation-
al convention in New Jersey this summer. In fact,
when I wrote Ronnie Fox about the possible change,
she was delighted stating she had been trying for
years to make this happen. Ronnie, as many of you
know, is a past president of our sisterhood and was
president of the Southwest Region. Please go to
WLCJ.org and learn about the new region we repre-
sent and get the facts about everything Women's
League does for you and all of us.
Here is an excerpt from the letter I received:
Dear Sandy:
We greatly appreciated your contacting Women’s League with your request to change your region associa-tion from IntraContinental to Pacific Southwest. We acknowledge your commitment to Women's League, and understand the reasoning behind this request.
We are all in agreement that your sisterhood will be a better fit geographically with the Pacific Southwest Region. This letter will serve as formal acknowledgement of B’nai Zion Sisterhood’s new affiliation with Pacific Southwest Region of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, effective immediately. We wish B’nai Zion Sisterhood much success in your new home. We know that you will be an asset to your new region and hope that your connection to Women’s League for Conservative Judaism will become even stronger.
B’Shalom,
Carol S. Simon, WLCJ International President
We look forward to a great year ahead. Patty
Hutman, our Program Vice President, is doing an
excellent job planning events that you will be appre-
ciative of and look forward to attending. If you need
a ride to any meeting or program, please let me
know. We don't want you to miss out on the fun!

“After Yair Berman left her and shattered all her dreams, the devastated Shlomtzion Drore escaped as far as possible from him and her intensely religious life in Jerusalem, becoming an interior designer in secular Tel-Aviv. Twenty-one years later, her daughter has become engaged to his son, and Shlomtzion is forced to visit the controversial settlement in which Yair lives, not only to plan the wedding but to confront her former love and the mistakes of her life. Set in Israel between the Six Day War and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, If You Awaken Love is the intensely moving story of a stormy and spiritual young girl and her love-hate relationships with her childhood sweet-heart, with her father, and with God.”

Hi, I am Julian Cohen and in the 7th Grade at Da Vinci.
My parents are Alan and Debra Cohen. On October 11, 2014, I will become a Bar Mitzvah. To me this means I will not be completely independent but in fact on the road to independence with greater responsi-bilities to family and community. The Bar Mitzvah project I chose is to volunteer at the Holocaust Museum. I have many interests and hobbies. One is scouting with Troop 613 from B’nai Zion Synagogue and the other is playing video games. Also, I enjoy my British Beagle, Hunter, who we adopted 5 weeks ago, and has since become a part of our family. Sports are important to me, especially soccer and baseball. In the future, I want to be in the Navy and have a medical career.
Bar Mitzvah
Julian Cohen
October 11, 2014 My name is Elise Ehrlich and I am in the 7th grade at St. Mark’s. My parent’s are William and Jennifer and my brother is Adin. My grandparents are Herb and
Brenda Ehrlich and Joe and Lorri Halow. When I grow up I want to be either a plastic surgeon or an oncologist. When I am not busy with schoolwork or volunteering my time, I like to read, draw, play tennis and play the piano. My Bat Mitzvah is October 18, 2014. I am excited to have this date for my Bat Mitzvah because the Parsha is B’reisheet. I feel that it is the perfect date since it relates to my mitzvah projects, Remember Us and Make A Wish. These two mitzvah projects are special to me because I am helping to make a difference by participating in both programs. The Holocaust mitzvah project, Remember Us, helps to keep the memory alive of those children who lost their lives in the Holocaust. I am hoping to keep the memory alive of Eva Erlich, a 5 year old who lost her life in the Holocaust. By helping the Make A Wish program in El Paso, I am bringing joy to the Wish Kids that aren’t as fortunate as I am. By participating in these programs and studying for my Bat Mitzvah, I now feel like I have accomplished many things in my growth to becoming an adult in the eyes of Judaism. I have enjoyed my studies and look forward to becoming a Bat Mitzvah.
