through the materials and the discussion that follows.

I hope you will consider studying with us. I am not sure we can make the world in which we live less complicated, but maybe we can help it make a little more sense. At the very least, we can do what Jews have always done in the face of a challenging world: learn how to navigate it by leading the ethical life.

Rabbi Alan B. Lucas

I am pleased to announce a course where we will discuss precisely these issues and be guided in doing so by some of the greatest contemporary Jewish scholars. The course is titled: “The Ethical Life – Jewish Values in an Age of Choice.” It has been created and developed by the Jewish Theological Seminary and we are pleased to be offering it at Temple Beth Sholom. The course will be held on 12 Sunday mornings in the Pikus Lifelong Learning Center - six this spring and six in the fall. The dates for the Spring ‘17 Semester are: April 2, April 16, April 23, April 30, May 7 and May 14. The dates for the Fall ’17 Semester are: Oct. 15, Oct. 22, Oct. 29, Nov. 5, Nov. 12 and Nov. 19. Cost of registration for all 12 sessions is $50 which includes the cost of all materials. Each session will be from 9:3011:30 am. You can sign up by sending a check for $50 made out to Temple Beth Sholom and marking it for The Ethical Life.

FROM THE DESK OF RABBI KERBEL by Rabbi Paul D. Kerbel “The Global Jew”

A

s I look back on my childhood with a Jewish lens, I would say that my parents raised me on two basic principles: 1) that to be a Jew meant to belong to a synagogue and observe the commandments and rituals of our people, and, 2) that to be a Jew meant to care about the Jewish people in Israel and around the world.

But I also care deeply and think about Jewish peoplehood and Jewish survival. To be a Jew is to feel a tug in your heart when something happens in a Jewish community around the world. To be a Jew is to find comfort that on a given day or hour, Jews are praying the same prayers and caring about the same issues wherever they live in the world. To be a Jew is to recognize the role that Israel plays in our Jewish world today and to have the hope and desire that it always be here as a beacon and a refuge – the spiritual and national center of our people.

I grew up at a unique time. The State of Israel was ten years old when I was born. My first recollection of observing Israel Independence Day was to go with my father to a Elie Wiesel suggests in his book A Jew Today, that “there is convention hall in Rochester, NY to help him get ready a time to question oneself and a time to act; there is a time for an Independence Day event. I to tell stories and a time to pray; also met the Israeli Ambassador there is a time to build and a time to the United States, Yitzhak Rabin "...At the core of my being was a to rebuild.

At the core of my being was a belief that it was my job as a Jew to care about the entire people of Israel: the Jews in the Soviet Union and Ethiopia, Argentina and France, England and Minsk.

So now you know a little about me. What makes Rabbi Paul Kerbel tick. I guess I wasn’t the average teenager (although there were many helping me in my projects). I care about the Jewish ritual and observance, Jewish law and custom, Shabbat and holidays, kashrut and tzedakah.

One of the most important lessons of Purim is the example of Queen Esther who proudly stood up as a Jew to speak out and save her people. As we celebrate Purim, let us take Queen Esther’s actions to heart and speak out for our people in Israel and around the world, and to speak out here in America when the values we care about need our voices and our actions.

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK by Pearl Halegua ‫דוגמה אישית‬

To lead by personal example: How I Became a Minyan-aire!

M

ourner’s Kaddish: Kaddish (Qaddish Aramaic: “holy”; alternative spellings: qaddish, ḳaddish) The central theme of the Kaddish is the magnification and sanctification of God’s name. It is recited only when there is a Minyan (quorum of ten). Each month I have been writing about different individuals that lead by example, either by donating or doing for our community. This month I wanted to focus on a group that basically slips under the radar. Throughout the year they dedicate themselves on a regular basis to making sure we have a minyan twice a day. Some are here at 6:45 AM every morning and 7:30 PM every evening (Shabbat and Sunday differ). Some don’t come everyday but are committed to coming one or a few days a week, every week throughout the year. Rain, snow, sleet, and sunny days, they put their needs aside and make it their business to get to temple so that mourners and those who have yahrtzeit, have the necessary quorum, a Minyan, to say, Kaddish. So, I asked them why the dedication? How I Became a Minyan-Aire by Al Sprung My father had died. We cried. We buried him. Sat Shiva. The pain of loss remained. Now what? I grew up in a moderately religious kosher home- Hebrew School, Bar Mitzvah, observed the High Holy Days. I did have great respect for my Jewish heritage. I understood that I had an OBLIGATION to say Kaddish for my father. So, I started attending Shabbat services and daily minyan. Some unfamiliarity with the daily service quickly turned to familiarity because it is not complicated, doesn’t take much time. No pressure. But something more was happening. I was in the company of others in similar circumstance. All were friendly, understanding. There was bonding. There was a sense of sharing, of comfort. The pain of loss started slowly diminishing. I came to understand that I was not just fulfilling the obligation of a Jewish son. I really was HONORING my dear father. That felt good, that felt right. Over the period of saying Kaddish, I realized that, more than fulfilling an obligation, more than honoring my father, I had benefitted personally. Minyan had helped ease the pain of loss, helped overcome the sadness, made it easier to move forward. I realized the magnitude of what minyan attendance had done for ME. Now I knew how really important the AVAILABILITY of Minyan was and I vowed then to give something back, to give others an opportunity to benefit as I had, at least in a very small way by attending minyan services on a regular

basis. I wanted to make sure the Minyan would not be short by my one person. I still do it, one or more services a week. And I’m privileged to voluntarily lead the service from time to time, when I can help. That started about 40 years ago. It still feels good. I hope you might consider giving Minyan a try. Maybe you, too, will find satisfaction in becoming a Minyan-aire. How I Became a Minyan-Aire by Glenn A. Krebs My Mom passed away at almost 90 years of age in November 2015. I said Kaddish for her for 10 months at Beth Sholom and felt great comfort in being part of the community, making new friends and acquaintances and re-establishing my connection to the Jewish religion. On the last day that I said Kaddish for my Mom, Cantor Barnoy presented me with the book, The Observant Life. The book was signed with beautiful and heartwarming wishes from the clergy and many of my “minyan” friends. Cantor Barnoy, in his remarks as he presented the book to me, referred to me as having completed my obligation of saying Kaddish. I never saw saying Kaddish, for most recently my Mom and, for my Dad 23 years ago as an obligation. It was, rather, something I wanted to do in order to honor their lives. That said, prior to my Mom’s passing, I was simply a “Yizkor Jew,” coming to shul only to say Kaddish for my Dad on his Yahrtzeit date, the high holidays and the three other Yizkor services during the course of the year. My perspective has changed since my Mom’s passing and I attend services regularly now both during the week and Shabbat. During weekday morning services Rabbi or Cantor will ask, “Is there anyone that has Yahrtzeit today?” Wherein I sarcastically reply, “Sure, there are plenty, they’re just not here today.” I would say over the course of the year that there is an average of eight people per day that have Yahrtzeit. Take into consideration that TBS is 65 plus years old, so some of those names may be grandparents or parents whose children or other relatives are no longer living in the community or are deceased themselves so they can’t come and say Kaddish. My guess, however, is that number is no more than 50%. Just prior to Yizkor services on Yom Kippur 2014, Rabbi Lucas prefaced his remarks with the statement, “Where are you all during the year… They’re still dead….” Rabbi Lucas could not have made it more clear as to the importance of saying Kaddish for a loved one and he had a captive audience. After all, it was Yom Kippur services. Well my friends and fellow congregants, they’re still dead and you’re not showing up.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

by Sharon Solomon, Religious School Director

T

he spirit of Purim is in the air as we gear up for this year’s Purim Carnival Celebration scheduled for Sunday, March 12th. We are so grateful to Lisa Berger and Julie Gittlin, our PTA CoPresidents and the crew of parent volunteers for arranging these festivities. Please be sure to join us! Upper grade students and teens are encouraged to help out! Contact the religious school office at religiousschool@tbsroslyn. org to let us know we can count on you. Join us at our Shabbat Minyanim programs! Our special Shabbat/Holiday Family Study programs are uniquely designed for our young families. The Mishpacha Service led by Joseph Soffer and Rabbi Paul Kerbel is especially inspiring as we witness our Vav Sixth grade students who are reading Torah for the first time. This year we are initiating a similar program for the Hay Fifth graders who will actively participate in the service by singing various tefillot (prayers) that they have been practicing in class.

Shacharit Tefillot (prayers) followed by the community family kiddush. The students are actively preparing a Parsha booklet on the different Torah portions that they have been focusing on and will proudly present them at the service. In March, the “Founders of Israel” month-long Kitah Hay workshop facilitated by Jill Kaplan, will delve into the life and work of the early founders of the State of Israel, starting with Theodore Herzl, Golda Meir, Menachem Begin and the many who followed. In Morah Amy Feist’s Jewish History class the fifth graders have engaged in an in-depth study of their ancestral roots and are creating spectacular art projects to commemorate their families. In March, Kitah Hay will present their history projects to their families and fellow classmates.

The ongoing, collaborative mitzvah efforts of the entire religious school students and families have been quite impressive this year. Our various mitzvah of the month campaigns have aided numerous organizations and families in distress throughout Long Island. Thank you for your We are very encouraged by all the donations of pajamas, books, toys, Kitah Vav prepare Winter care packages for students who are meeting and food and gift cards for the needy. the homeless shelter. exceeding their Shabbat Attendance Together we are a sacred community. requirements!

Please pass the word to your friends and neighbors in the local community who are invited to sample our religious school program on Sunday mornings. Your word of mouth advertising will help us grow our school. Providing for those less fortunate was the mitzvah theme in the Kitah Gimel class recently as the students packed winter hats, gloves, scarves, etc. for residents of the local homeless shelters. The students truly internalized the meaning of giving as they delved into this hands-on act of kindness. Kol Hakavod to these enthusiastic third graders! The Daled/Hay Grade Shabbat Service/Kiddush will take place on Saturday, March 18th. All families in the 4th & 5th grade should plan to attend this special annual Shabbat program as the students will lead the Shabbat morning

Yom Hashoah Candle Project

F

or many years, the TBS Men’s Club has been providing yellow Yahrzeit candles to every family of our congregation as we join with many others around the world on Yom HaShoah, in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. Unfortunately, because of skyrocketing postage costs, we are unable to mail the candles. Instead, these candles will be available for pick-up in the Main Office and at the annual Yom HaShoah ceremony. In addition, as part of our programming initiative with the Hebrew School, all students will be given a candle to take home to facilitate family participation in recalling the Holocaust and memorializing those whose lives were taken far too early. The number 18 symbolizes chai, or life. Please consider making a donation to Temple Beth Sholom Men’s Club to help defray the costs of this program. The monies will be earmarked toward the replenishment of Shiva siddurim and for programming regarding our struggles with antisemitism. Candle lighting April 23, 2017 at sundown.

SISTERHOOD SCOOP by Cindy Feldman, President

Queen Esther, Queen Esther…..Dedicated to Our Children

Hamentaschen Baking with Zahava Young Leaders on Thursday, March 9th at 7:00 PM

O

ne of my favorite parenthood memories was being awakened by my daughter who was excited to go to her first TBS Purim Carnival. She was only 3 years old, filled with energy only a toddler has. Early that morning, she galloped into our master bedroom, dressed in one of her prettiest party dresses that she somehow managed to put on by herself, wearing the crown she had made in her TBS toddler class, singing a refrain, “Queen Esther, Queen Esther….” It was delightful to see her so excited. Then I asked my daughter why she chose to dress up like Queen Esther for the Carnival. She looked at me with an expression wondering why I would ask anything so obvious and retorted….”Because, mommy, she saved the Jewish people!” With that she galloped back to her room and shut the door. At that moment, I realized my little girl “got it” better than I did. Esther inspired her! She was a woman who wrestled with a dilemma which emerging leaders often face—should I take the safe route and lay low, stay silent and live a nice life in the palace, or should I risk it all for others to save many lives with the hope that the King does not cut off my head? Wow, what a woman! This is exactly the kind of person we want our children and ourselves to aspire to be!

dren and grandchildren for a nominal $5 charge for each ball of dough (a ball of dough will make 12 to18 Hamentaschen). As part of our commitment to Tikkun Olam, Sisterhood is requesting that each participant contribute a few of their handmade Hamentaschen to be distributed to homebound members of the TBS community. This year Sisterhood is partnering with young ATID families who have volunteered to pack and distribute Mishloach Manot bags as part of Sisterhood’s annual Purim Fundraiser. Yasher Koach to Jared Friedmann of ATID and to Sisterhood’s VPs of Fundraising, Amy Magid and Cindy Katz, who have partnered for this meaningful community outreach project! We hope that you will support Sisterhood’s many Tikkun Olam projects by supporting our largest fundraiser of the year. Sending a Mishloach Manot bag to your friends and family is such a nice way to connect with others and to remind them that you are thinking of them. This year Sisterhood is partnering with Kosher Troops.com. In addition to treats, every Mishloach Manot bag ordered will contain a camouflage postcard to let your recipient know that Sisterhood has made a donation in their honor to send a Purim package to a Jewish U.S. Soldier who is stationed far from home.

...President's article continued from page 6 I know TBS sends out letter reminders to come and say Kaddish for deceased loved ones. It’s obviously not working well, as the number not attending bears that out. We all have times during the week where work, family, a vacation or something gets in the way of being able to attend Minyan. I couldn’t come this past Saturday for Mincha/ Ma'ariv/Havdalah and felt absolutely awful to learn that there were only 8 people that showed up. That is totally unacceptable and we all know it has happened on more than one occasion. I hope and pray that this message will reach many of my fellow congregants that have forgotten how important it is to honor the memory of a loved one and that you’ll come to shul on that appointed day and maybe even make a commitment to come one other day a year, or one other day a month or one other day a week. As we can see from these two responses, Al and Glenn, each gained benefits from attending Minyan and in so doing made a commitment to be there for our community. I received several stories from our Minyan-aire group, space on this page is limited so, I have only shared two this month. In the following months, a column in the bulletin will be dedicated so that there is opportunity to share the other reflections.

TREE OF LIFE Create a lasting legacy of your family's connections to Temple Beth Sholom with the purchase of a leaf to be added to our Tree of Life in the gallery. You can choose from two sizes:

small leaf: $180 Large Leaf: $360 Please contact the Temple office to purchase your leaf at 516-621-2288 x110 or 111.

We see that during the period of saying Kaddish these mourners formed powerful, often unspoken bonds. The obligation/commitment of Kaddish helped create social outlets that offered a measure of companionship and solace. Coming to say Kaddish, the mourners realized, that they were not alone, but part of a community, not one voluntarily joined, but joined nonetheless. It’s inevitable that someday everyone becomes part of this community. As Jews we have an obligation to honor our parents, that obligation does not end with death. By saying Kaddish we bring honor to their memory, by saying Kaddish for any loved one, we provide evidence that this person lived a life worthy of memory. Remember, the recitation of Kaddish requires a Minyan, (a quorum of ten) Let’s all make an effort to be there for our community so that we have “Ten” assembled so that our mourners can fulfill their obligation. Please note that on Shabbat, April 15th, we will be saying thank you to our Minyan-aires for being there for us throughout the year. Trust me, they wanted no recognition, but I convinced them to let our congregation know who makes up this wonderful group. Others will then say, oh, I am comfortable with Al and Glenn and David… Oh, those women are involved; maybe I will make an effort. Doogmah Eesheet. See you at the Passover Kiddish on April 15th honoring our Minyan-aires.

In Proverbs 27:18 Joshua says:

“Whoever tends the tree will eat its fruit.” As the protégé and successor of Moses, Joshua was a dreamer and a doer - a visionary and leader who ultimately led the Jews into Israel. Contributors to The Joshua Society will be both dreamers and doers, leading and strengthening for tomorrow.

Why not sponsor a Sunday minyan breakfast? Your contribution will celebrate a simcha or honor the memory of a loved one. In addition, a particularly meaningful way to commemorate a milestone in your life is to sponsor a Kiddush on Saturday morning, thereby sharing your simcha with the Temple family. Please call: David Oestreich at 621-3046 or the Temple office at 621-2288 for details or to reserve a date. We are grateful to the following members who have sponsored Sunday Minyan breakfasts in January & February: Maurice Klein in memory of Charles Klein Beatrice Karten in memory of Mitchell Karten David Oestreich in memory of Bea Oestreich TBS Men's Club

210 USYers Join Beth Rock Chapter For Annual Kinnus

To my TBS Family, I want to express my sincere gratitude to TBS for opening the doors of our shul community to the 210 USYers, 22 Staff and 6 Ruach Interns who spent Shabbat here February 3-4. The Long Island Division of USY - Ruach USY, held our annual Kinnus weekend with the Beth Rock USY Chapter.The collaborative efforts of Temple Beth Sholom and partners, Shelter Rock Jewish Center and Temple Beth Israel of Port Washington have helped create one of the most dynamic and exciting USY programs in the area. During Kinnus the USYers led services, had meaningful discussion groups, and enjoyed a 5-star evening of music fun and celebration. Special thanks to Rabbis Lucas and Kerbel, Cantor Barnoy, Donna Bartolomeo, Bob Spampinato and his team and Pearl Halegua for helping ensure that we had the opportunity to make this event possible. I would also like to thank Lewis Bartell and Eddie Ward for recruiting and coordinating housing for so many teens and staff in our community. It was especially most meaningful for me to be able to share the Ruach USY experience with my friends and family here at TBS and let the USYers see the shul where I grew up and I have been fortunate to call my home for my entire life. Todah Rabah! Michael Hirsch

hereas TBS buzzes with excitement as we celebrate Purim this month and Pesach soon thereafter, I wanted to utilize this column to highlight this year’s biggest fun-raiser and fundraiser, Dancing with the TBS Stars, to be held on Sunday, May 21. This event promises to be the talk-ofthe-town, so I wanted to share with you some of the details that are available at press-time.

First, I would like to thank Rabbi Lucas for the idea for this year’s fundraiser. And, good sport that he is, the Rabbi has graciously volunteered to be one of the six contestants vying for the title of “Top Dancer.” Joining Rabbi Lucas in friendly competition will be Sanford Berger, Rachel Friedmann, Rachel Goldstein and Stephen Seltzer. Arrangements have been made for the five contestants to get a few lessons with a professional dancer. And naturally, we feel compelled to document the dancers’ evolution with video, so a montage will be shown for all to marvel at during the event. There will be a panel of judges, but attendees will also be able to vote; opportunities to purchase additional votes and take out ads in the electric journal will be available. The event will be an opportunity for you to be one of the first to sample the cuisine of our new exclusive caterer. Dance the night away, check out the costumes, have a few laughs! I would also like to thank Ellen Walk and Sanford Berger for agreeing to co-chair the event. I hope you can join us for a fun-filled evening, an event that should appeal to all segments of our wonderful TBS community!
