“What One Person
Can Do”
Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day
occurs this year on Thursday, April 16th, correspon-
ding to the 27th day of Nisan 5775.
When the State of Israel was established in
1948, the people wanted to reserve a day to remem-
ber the victims of the Holocaust. Many dates were
suggested. Some wanted to link the recollection of
this catastrophe to the days of mourning already exist-
ing in the Jewish calendar. These are the 10th of
Tevet when the Babylonians besieged Jerusalem, the
17th of Tammuz when the Romans first breeched the
outer walls of the 2nd Temple, and Tisha B’av or the
9th of Av, when the Temples were destroyed. Strong
objections reigned against these dates in favor of a
new date singularly marked for the unparalleled hor-
rors of the Nazi regime.
Many Israeli Zionists who had fought in the
ghettos or as partisans suggested using April 19th as
this day corresponded with the beginning of the
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. The Hebrew date
that year was the 14th of Nisan. Since this annually
occurs on the day prior to Passover, many religious
Jews objected.
For the next two years, the debate over the
placement of the recollection in the calendar ensued.
Finally, in 1950, the 27th day of Nisan was chosen.
This date was agreed upon by the majority because it
satisfied two critical requirements. One, it lay beyond
the Passover festival, and two, it still fell within the
timeframe of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Finally, on
April 12, 1951, Israel’s Knesset proclaimed Yom
HaShoah U’mered HaGetaot (Holocaust and Ghetto
Revolt Remembrance Day) to be set for the 27th of
Nisan annually.
For many years this day of remembrance sim-
ply became known as Yom HaShoah, which means
“Day of the Catastrophe”. In more recent years, the
desire to recall the element of Jewish resistance along
with the horrors of genocide led to an addition in the
name. Now, many refer to Yom HaShoah
vi”Hagevurah, or “Devastation and Heroism Day”.
The new name reminds us all that even though so
many were led to their deaths like “lambs to the
slaughter”, so many others rose up to defy and fight
the Nazis and claimed small and moral victories
throughout the years of the Holocaust. On April 19,
1943, brave souls from the last remnants of the
Warsaw Ghetto led by Mordecai Anielewicz rose up to
defy the Nazis. The uprising of the few against the
many, the meagerly armed against the great war
machine lasted nearly a month until May 16th, when
the rebellion was finally squashed. The ability of the
ghetto uprisers to stay off the Germans for nearly a
month emboldened the spirit of the Jews who planned
future defiance.
In October of 1943, inmates from the concen-
tration camp located in Eastern Poland named
Sobibor planned to escape the camp under the lead-
ership of Leon Feldhendler. His cousin Esther Raab,
a survivor, remembers:
“We started organizing and talking and it gave
us something to live for again, you know, for the idea
that maybe we’ll be able to take revenge for all those
who can’t.”
On October 14th there were 550 prisoners in
the camp. 400 of them seized the moment to escape.
80 people were shot escaping. Another 170 were
killed in the woods in the ensuing manhunt. 58
escapees survived until the end of the war. To this day
the story of the “Great Escape” from the Sobibor camp
remains one of the most successful and inspiring sto-
ries of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust.
On Wednesday, April 15th, BTBJ will stage
our annual Julian Cuker Holocaust Memorial Day
program for the entire congregation beginning at 6:45
pm. The gathering will include our Daled, Hay and
Teens Together students.
Our evening will begin with a candle lighting
ceremony in honor of all those who perished in the
Holocaust. We will kindle the yellow candles designat-
ed for those who died in the Shoah. The color yellow
is reminiscent of the yellow Jewish stars that identified
Jewish people in the ghetto. Yasher Koach to our
Men’s Club who has made these candles available for
each member family of our congregation. As we’ll light
them in the shul that evening, we also light the 24-hour
candles in our homes in memory of the 6 million Jews
and 5 million others who perished in the Nazi concen-
tration camps.
The evening’s program will feature the show-
ing of the movie “NICKY’S FAMILY”. It is the story of
Englishman Nicholas Winston who in the 1930’s sin-
gle-handedly rescued more than 650 Czech and
Slovak children from the looming horrors of the
Holocaust. The Los Angeles Times claims that
Winston’s “herculean feat of willful humanitarianism
stemmed from one man’s triggered conscience.”
Page 3
Rabbi (continued) BTBJ PROPOSED SLATE OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The movie describes the story of Winston’s
success in saving hundreds of lives. It follows the
lives of those who saved, featuring the productive and
benevolent lives so many of them went on to live.
Winston’s story underscores the truth that one person
can make a monumental difference in redeeming our
world.
Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat during
WWII is credited with saving tens of thousands of
Jews from the Holocaust by issuing them Swedish
passports. Alice Lok Cahana credits Wallenberg for
saving her father’s life…”This young man went to
Budapest and gave out passports of Sweden.
Because the Hungarians didn’t know how to read
Swedish, this was how my father was saved. And
thousands of others too, with these pieces of paper. I
am here to tell you that one person can make a dif-
ference, and that person can be you… any of you!”
After the war ended, the State of Israel brought
righteous Gentiles to Yad VaShem, Israel’s national
Holocaust Memorial to honor them. As he was recog-
nized for the Jewish lives he saved, one man said, “I
myself did a little to save some lives… but if others
had done a little too, together, we would have done
a lot.”
Judaism teaches, “One who saved just one
life is seen as if he had saved an entire world.”
My friends, a lesson we learn can learn from
the atrocities of the Holocaust is that every person can
be responsible for introducing great evil or great
redemption into this world. Never let it be underesti-
mated how much damage or how much good one per-
son is capable of doing. Therefore, let us dedicate
ourselves to living lives that can affect positive change
into the world. We’ll never know how much we can do
until we try!
This Yom HaShoah, join us on Wednesday,
April 15th to view the sensationally inspiring film of
“NICKY”S FAMILY”, the story of how one man was
able to save so many who went on to enrich our world
because they were given the chance to survive and
make a difference!
This Yom HaShoah, let us remember the lives
of all those who perished in the Holocaust along with
all those who rose up to resist and fight evil the best
way they could!
This Yom HaShoah, let us appreciate the gift of
life that is ours and live accordingly, knowing that 70
years ago so many never got a chance to realize the
fulfillment of theirs.
Ti’hay nishmatam tzirurim bi’tzror hachay-
im… May the souls of all those who perished in the
Holocaust live on in our collective memories. May
they merit eternal peace! AMEN!3

NOTES FROM HAZZAN ARLYNE UNGER

Hazzan Arlyne Unger,
Hazzan and
Educational Director
The Dalet and Hay students have been learning
about the history of Israel through a series of mini
courses that we have presented recently. They have
learned about the early Halutzim (pioneers) and their
impetus for coming to Palestine despite challenging
conditions. They have been introduced to poetry and
diary entries produced by these Halutzim as well as
traced the beginnings of the Jewish connection to the
land of Israel through the Torah narratives. Our stu-
dents have learned about the Dreyfus Affair and the
impact that it had on Theodor Herzl. Finally, in our
last session of the series, we all participated in a sim-
ulation of the First Zionist Congress. Our students
were assigned the identities of actual delegates to the
Congress and through the leadership of Theodor
Herzl (our very own Rabbi Grife), they explored their
connections to Zionism and the Jewish issues of the
time, including the possibility of establishing a home-
land in Israel.
I am happy to share with you some of the writings
they produced after a stroll through our “Israel poster
gallery” and as they participated in the Zionist
Congress program.
Modern Zionism is knowing that us, the sons and
daughters of Abraham and Sarah will
have a homeland where they once lived.
Hope Barrist and
Talia Kaganovsky
The Zionist Movement is that Jews need
a Jewish homeland where there is no
violence and Jews aren’t persecuted for
their religion.
Josh Levin
Zionism means to believe in Jewish
freedom and right. Furthermore – a
home.
Noah Stern
Modern Zionism means that Jews need a place to live
fairly.
Caleb Silverman
The current needs of the Jewish people:
• Food
• Shelter
• Protection
• Education and culture
• Jewish people and the LAND!
Hannah Friedman and Alexandra Markowitz
The meaning of Theodor Herzl’s most famous state-
ment and its significance:
“If you will it, it is no dream” – This is significant
because he imagined all the Jews living together.
Carly Rosenberger, Sarah Snyder,
Ellie Stamps
“If you will it, it is no dream” – This means that Jews
should take action.
Jack Mishkin
My feelings about Herzl’s vision…
I think it is right; we shouldn’t be pushed around.
Danielle Goldstein, Jordyn Green,
Darcy Miller
I think that it showed his love for Jews to think that
they would be able to get to that point in their future!
He was a visionary. I also think it showed leadership
and innocence because he was trying to do what he
believed, and innocence because he wanted peace.

I have seen many films on the holocaust and by far this is the best.
An amazing man who brought and still continues to bring total com-
mitment, grace and humor to the children he saved and the lives he
has touched. The darkness of the holocaust is made brighter by the
inspiration that embodies you as you watch this film. Humanity
shines.
Ordinary British stockbrocker Nicholas Winton organized the rescue of 669 children from Prague
just before the outbreak of World War II. As a result of his heroic efforts, today there are over
6,000 descendants of “Winton’s Children” all over the world. Winton, now 104 years old, did not
speak about these events with anyone for more than half a century. His exploits would have prob-
ably been forgotten if his wife, fifty years later, hadn’t found a suitcase in the attic, full of docu-
ments and transport plans. The children that he saved, their descendants and countless others
around the world continue to follow his example to do good, as chronicled in the award-winning
film, Nicky’s Family.

IVAN BELL,
Men’s Club
President
Nearly 50 people enjoyed a lovely Sunday
morning brunch (on the Ides of March) while listen-
ing to Bill Marimow, current editor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News. Bill grew up
locally in Havertown and has gone on to jobs at the
Baltimore Sun (Editor), National Public Radio
(head of News division) and the current editorship.
Along the way he has won 2 Pulitzer prizes and
several other prestigious awards. A thought pro-
voking discussion allowed many congregants to
talk about journalism in the current modern/techni-
cal environment. Many thanks to Abbe Kligerman
and her crew of Sisterhood volunteers and to Men’s
Club members David Nuddle, Fred Weissberger,
Jon Kanze and David Schwartzman.
Next on our schedule is a road trip to the
Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
The trip will depart early Sunday morning,the 26th
of April, from the BTBJ parking lot, and return
Monday evening. There are several stops planned
besides the Hall of Fame. Please respond to the
evite and contact any Men’s Club board member if
you have any interest in this trip.
The final event of the year will be our 6th
Annual Steak Dinner. Join us as we share an
evening of camaraderie, fine dining, drinks and
laughter. The date is Thursday, the 7th of May. We
expect a fabulous night! Please respond ASAP to
the evite when it is sent.
The Men’s Club distributed Yom Hashoah
candles again this year. With donations from David
Perry, Howard Cohen, and Ivan Bell, we were hon-
ored to hand deliver a package to every family in
the shul, and also those families enrolled in the
Preschool. There will be a program held at BTBJ
on the evening of the 15th of April. Look for further
details in the Newsletter.
Although not directly affiliated with the
Men’s Club, the BTBJ softball team begins its
season on Monday, the 13th of April. Many team
members are also Men’s Club officers and board
members. If you have any experience having
played in MLB (a few seasons in the minors
would qualify) or were a standout at a Division I
school, contact one of the team members imme-
diately. Further news of the teams’ exploits will
follow.
Our events calendar for 2015-16 already
is bursting with new ideas: paint ball; barn dance
complete with hayrides and dancing in a local
working barn; community service projects with
the elderly, Habitat for Humanity; and others.
We need your help, both with attending these
events and joining Men’s Club as an active par-
ticipant. Should you have any desire to become
part of the board or help with programming,
membership or volunteering in some way, feel
free to contact me or any of the Men’s club offi-
cers and board members. We are creating a
directory of these individuals to encourage com-
munication with us year round.
Once again, I could not help steer this ship
without all the capable, fun and non-stop help
from my officers. The monthly board meetings
continue to produce great ideas and show the
strength of our organization. And finally, thank
you to the 20 individuals who made funding our
events a reality by becoming an annual sponsor.
A great Pesach to all…

Beth Schwartzman,
Sisterhood Interim
Sabrina Denmark,
Sisterhood President
BTBJ SIsterhood is looking forward to Spring
with some great events. Despite the cold winter and
challenging weather, we had a great winter. Some of
the highlights included our “Night Out with the Men’s
Club” at Hi-Spot Bowling Lanes on February 21.
Many thanks to Marni Kanze, our Sisterhood Board
member who organized this event, along with her
husband, Jon!
Our second “Lunch and Learn with Rabbi
Grife" also was impacted by weather, but was
rescheduled and successful as always.
On March 15, the Sisterhood continued its
spirit of collaboration with the Men’s Club with our
annual “Brunch and Speaker”. This year the speaker
was William Marimow, Pulitzer Prize winner and edi-
tor of the Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News. Brunch
was great with Abbe’s French Toast a highlight as
usual.
BTBJ Sisterhood also ushered in the festival
of Purim with the time honored mitzvah of Shalach
Manot, the giving of food and treats. Our Purim
fundraiser helps us to support the Sisterhood’s pro-
gramming and various needs of the synagogue all
year! We thank all who participated and sent our
wonderful Purim baskets to your friends and our com-
munity. We deeply appreciate the hard work of Jen
Schindler and Jodi Taylor for chairing this effort, as
well as all the volunteers who helped pack and deliver
the baskets to congregants. Thanks to all this year for
their understanding as the delivery process was
impacted by the beautiful, (but somewhat difficult)
winter weather.
Finally, we rounded out the month of March
with our “Sisterhood Passover Cooking Class” the
evening of March 23. The Sisterhood tries to make
our cooking classes fresh and fun every year, and this
class was no exception! We utilized our fabulous
community of women, and the internet site “Pinterest”
to bring everyday (and very do-able) Passover dishes
for tasting and recipe collection.
On April 13th, 2015 we will be painting the
night away at Painting With A Twist. No prior experi-
ence or artistic ability needed for this night of fun,
food, drinks and raffles.
The Sisterhood keeps on going with great
programming in the Spring. We proudly honor Beth
Schwartzman at the Gloria Gordon Torah Fund
Celebration on April 27! In addition, we are thrilled to
host our own Stephanie Feldman, author of The
Angel of Losses for a “Dessert and Dialogue Book
Review”. More information will be forthcoming as
these dates near.Remember to visit the Sisterhood Gift Shop for all
your holiday and gifting needs!
Best, Sabrina Denmark and Beth Schwartzman

Philly Phield Trip:
Our Teens had an AMAZING time on an interac-

of South Philadelphia lead by Gan's very own
Morah Ariel. We celebrated Jewish mural-artist
Isaiah Zagar's birthday in his world-renowned
outdoor gallery, the "Magic Gardens." WEBSITE:
http://www.phillymagicgardens.org/.
Next, we visited congregation B'nai Abraham,
founded in 1892, which continues to serve as an
epicenter for Jewish life in Philadelphia today.
Then, we enjoyed some DELICIOUS kosher
treats at "Homemade Goodies by Roz," heard
Roz's inspiring story, and got a private tour of the
bakery. We strolled down South Street, met with
local merchants on Fabric Row, and concluded
our tour at a tasty, trendy pizzeria called
Blackbird.
The students, parents, and staff had a blast
learning about the tremendous past and present
influence the Jewish people had and continue to
have in our very own city of Philadelphia.

We are all so thrilled to be celebrating Sam’s Bar
Mitzvah!
Sam is a 7th grader at Wissahickon Middle
School. He is a member of the school’s competitive
robotics team and also helps students in lower
grades learn how to create winning machines. Sam is
also part of the middle school chorus and has sung
the National Anthem at Phillies baseball and Temple
basketball games. Sam is becoming a very proficient
golfer and soon will be winning money off his father
and grandparents! At home, he loves taking apart
electronics (normally with permission!) and seeing
how things work. Sam is also a connoisseur of British
television -- addicted to Dr. Who and Top Gear, and is
the most efficient user of a snow blower in the tri-state
area. Sam is a wonderful big brother to Jonah and a
role model to his younger cousins.
In the summer, Sam attends Camp Nock-a-
mixon where he is going to be in the senior boys sec-
tion this year. He has made many friends there and
enjoys aquaplaning on the lake, driving golf balls on
the range, hanging out at arts and crafts and being
part of camp performances. Last year, Sam was cho-
sen as “Camper of the Year” in his age group.
Sam did a lot of research before choosing a
mitzvah project that was very meaningful to him. Sam
has always enjoyed history and, through the
Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education
Center, he interviewed Ernie Gross, a survivor from
Romania. Sam wrote down Mr. Gross’s story and pre-
sented it to his classmates in religious school.
Through this project, Sam learned the importance of
remembering the past and maintaining the truth.
We are really proud of all the hard work Sam
has put into studying for his Bar Mitzvah and we
would like to thank Hazzan Unger, Rabbi Grife,
Naomi Bright Lerman and everyone at BTBJ for their
help in making this day special.
Ross Neuman
Son of
Marci and Nathan
Becomes a
Bar Mitzvah on
April 25, 2015
Samuel Levy
Son of
Mara and Mark
Brother of Jonah
Becomes a
Bar Mitzvah on
April 18, 2015
With much love and pride, we are thrilled as our
son, Ross, is called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah. Ross has
been a proud member of BTBJ since he was 7 years old
when our family joined the congregation. Currently, Ross is
a 7th grader at Sandy Run Middle School in Upper Dublin.
At Sandy Run, Ross is in the enrichment program and 8th
grade accelerated math. Ross also enjoys creative writing,
art, travel and movie making as evidenced by the trailer to
his upcoming Bar Mitzvah movie
@ www.rossbosstrailer.com. Check it out!
As an only child, Ross has consistently used his
lack of siblings to help and mentor others with school work
and other activities. It is this quality which has led Ross to
cultivate and enjoy many friendships throughout his life.
Ross especially enjoys spending time during the school
year and summer vacations with his younger cousin, Ben
Kessler. While Ross is an only child, last May our family
adopted a rescue dog named Brody who has become much
like a younger brother to him. Both Ross and Brody spend
a tremendous amount of time together, but both look for-
ward to spending spring/summer weekends, whenever
possible, in Margate, NJ. In the summer, Ross attends
overnight camp at Lake Owego Camp where he enjoys
hanging with his camp “brothers”, playing sports and other
activities.
Ross has always been very active and excelled in
all sports, but recently narrowed his focus to travel basket-
ball and travel lacrosse. When not playing, watching or talk-
ing sports, Ross enjoys playing his XBox, spending time
with his grandfather, Hal and relaxing with his family, friends,
and Brody.
The mitzvah project which Ross undertook in
September, 2014 can be traced to the adoption of Brody.
Driven by the desire to see homeless dogs find loving
homes, Ross chose to work several hours a month with the
organization, Almost Home. Ross’ efforts have helped sev-
eral dogs become adopted and significantly improved their
lives. We believe that this is one of the many experiences
that has helped shape Ross into the fine young man that he
is today. Of course, we would be remiss to not mention the
others who have been helping Ross towards his special day
including Hazzan, Rabbi Saul, Naomi, Val and the educa-
tors at BTBJ.
During the past 12 years, we have seen Ross grow
to become a wonderful son, grandson, student, athlete,
friend and mensch. We are extremely proud of the young
man that Ross is and look forward to the man he will
become.

Ellie Stamps is celebrating her Bat Mitzvah on
April 25, 2015. Ellie is a student at the William
Penn Charter School and is an honor roll stu-
dent. She is currently in 6th grade. Ellie goes to
summer camp at Lake Bryn Mawr Camp in
Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Ellie loves sports and
is very active with gymnastics, soccer and
squash.
For Ellie’s Mitzvah project she raised money for
Girl Rising. This organization raises awareness
for the pursuit of educating women all over the
world. Ellie and her friends made homemade
cookies and sold them and raised money. It was
a great experience to have her friends involved in
the mitzvah project.
We are so proud of all of Ellie’s hard work as she
gets ready for her Bat Mitzvah. Ellie is a smart
and beautiful person and we can’t wait to share
this milestone with friends and family.
We are thrilled and proud to be celebrating Dana’s
Bat Mitzvah. Dana is a seventh grade honors student at
Colonial Middle School. She is very athletic and a hard-
working student. Since the age of two, she was involved in
gymnastics. However, in fifth grade, after several broken
bones, she “retired” from gymnastics. At that point, Dana’s
enthusiasm and love for basketball took off and she now
plays on both intramural and school teams. Dana was also
a member of the volleyball team last year and is playing
lacrosse for the first time this year. When she is not playing
basketball outside or in our basement, Dana spends time
with family and friends. Every summer, she spends as
much time as possible at our family’s shore house. Despite
all her sports activities, Dana makes plenty of time to be an
amazing big sister and a great role model for her sister
Carly.
After third grade, we moved to Groton,
Connecticut. Dana attended Solomon Schechter Academy
for two years, where she developed her Hebrew skills and
read from the Torah on many occasions. She became very
interested in not only learning Hebrew, but also in learning
more about Judaism and our history. After we moved back
home, Dana spent her first summer at Camp Ramah in the
Poconos. She loved the connection to Judaism, and espe-
cially cherished the camaraderie of her camp friends.
Spending Shabbat by the lake is one of her favorite mem-
ories.
Dana had the honor and privilege of having a spe-
cial relationship with her great-great Aunt Esther. She
spent many afternoons having lunch with her and hearing
all about her life experiences. For Dana’s mitzvah project,
her choice to work with the residents of the Abramson
Center for Jewish Life in Horsham came as no surprise.
She enjoyed playing games with them and listening to their
amazing stories. Her enthusiasm was very apparent as the
residents always looked forward to her visits. Dana wants
to continue visiting her new friends and making a differ-
ence in their lives!
We are so proud of the young woman Dana is
becoming. Her kindness, empathy and thirst for knowledge
are some of her greatest qualities. Dana’s experiences at
Solomon Schechter, Ramah and BTBJ have instilled in her
a love for Judaism that will endure throughout her life. We
would like to thank Hazzan Unger, Rabbi Grife, Naomi
Lerman and all the BTBJ staff who helped Dana prepare
for her Bat Mitzvah.

Brandon DeYoung
Son of
Abby and Jeff
Becomes a
Bar Mitzvah on
May 2, 2015
Brandon DeYoung is celebrating his Bar
Mitzvah on May 2, 2015. Brandon is an honor roll stu-
dent at Colonial Middle School. He is currently in the
7th grade. Brandon and his parents have been mem-
bers of BTBJ for the past 10 years. In the summer
time Brandon attends Sesame/Rockwood
Adventures where he goes on educational and fun
trips for half the summer and the other half he is a
counselor in training. Brandon loves being around
other children and he is extremely benevolent to
them. Brandon loves sports, especially ice hockey,
which he plays for the Plymouth Whitemarsh
Colonials. His team won the championship last year.
Unfortunately, this year, they lost in the playoffs. He
plays baseball and basketball as well.
For Brandon’s mitzvah project, he chose
Cradles to Crayons. This organization provides chil-
dren up to the age of 12 with some of the most impor-
tant basics of life. Many of these children are living in
homeless or low income situations. Cradles to
Crayons are located in 2 cities, Boston and
Philadelphia (Conshohocken). Brandon collected
new sports equipment and clothes from his family
and friends. He donated everything to Cradles to
Crayons; therefore, underprivileged children can
have a better life.
Brandon loves spending time with his family.
As an only child, he enjoys his time with his extended
family. He is extremely close with his grandparents,
aunts and uncles as well as his cousins.
We are so proud of Brandon as he becomes a
Bar Mitzvah. All of his family and friends are elated to
be celebrating this milestone with him.
We would like to thank Rabbi Grife, Hazzan
Unger, Naomi Bright Lerman and all of his BTBJ
teachers for their help and support in preparing
Brandon for his special day.
