Our Mission Through our congregational life, our goal is to provide the opportunity for our
members and friends to experience Jewish life to its fullest. We want to transmit the
ideals of Conservative Judaism to our children and grandchildren, to enable them to be
knowledgeable and responsible participants in Jewish life, sensitive and ethical human
beings and reliable custodians of an enduring heritage. Through the synagogue, we
want to find strength and inspiration in worship and study, in the sharing of lifecycle
events, in acts of caring, in reaching out to the wide Jewish and non-Jewish
communities, and in concern and support for Israel.

PESAH PREPARATION
The Rabbinical Assembly Pesah Guide, which we hope will add to your observance of Pesah, includes
the rules and procedures relating to the special food requirements of Pesah observance. They have
been compiled by the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards (CJLS) of the Rabbinical Assembly
and Conservative Movement. This information can serve as an annual reference for you. Any items
not covered, and about which you have a question, should be discussed directly with Rabbi Luski.
We hope that your preparations for Pesah will lead to a joyous holiday for you and your loved ones.
You can access the 2015-5775 guide on the RabbinicalAssembly.org website:
rabbinicalassembly.org/pesah-guide.
Hard copies are also available in the CBI office, or you may call to have one mailed to you.
Visit Page 12 for a full schedule of this years Pesah services.

DINNER AT THE PHILIP BENJAMIN TOWER
The Benjamin Tower Foundation would like to
extend an invitation to CBI congregants who
would like to join PBT residents for Shabbat
dinners. Dinner is $10 every Friday at 4:45 pm.
This is a great opportunity to enjoy dinner and
fellowship before walking over to CBI for
Shabbat services.

BIKKUR HOLIM
One of the most important mitzvot in Judaism is
bikkur holim: visiting the sick. It is a
responsibility that the clergy of Bnai Israel take
very seriously. When our members are ill or
hospitalized, we want to know. In the interest of
protecting confidentiality, hospitals today are
extremely cautious about sharing patient names,
even with clergy. We need our congregants to
communicate directly with us and to inform us of
illness or hospitalization. Please call Pam Askin
at 727.381.4901 so that, as clergy and the
synagogue family, we can be helpful in moments
of difficulty or stress.

From the Rabbi The Passover story as told in the Haggada recounts how Israel moved from darkness into
light; from ignorance and a history of idolatry into freedom and glory. A permanent and a
continuing saga, Passover is an event which eternally calls people of all generations to hope
and anticipation of a new dawn. Indeed, the springtime festival of Passover represents a new
life for all who suffered during the long years of exile and oppression. Celebrating the joyful
festival at the Seder table, we remember our long and stormy history.
The Passover story is living drama, a script involving Israel's children of all generations:
a story of a fight for freedom, for human dignity, and for a permanent home for all the children of Israel. Passover is
a democratic struggle for human dignity. From generation to generation one must picture oneself as having been
freed from Egypt. The ongoing struggle for dignity and freedom has given the Jewish people the will, the power and
the determination to fight on.
Today, Passovers legacy sustains the Jewish people's struggle against terrorism and global anti-Semitism. We learned from history and gained faith and confidence to continue our struggle against all present enemies toward the ultimate victory.
The story of Passover commands all men and women to join in brotherhood, to join in the building of Jerusalem and
Israel and, by that very fact, in the rebuilding of the world! This festival is the festival of human freedom, a fascinating
miracle by which human dignity is restored to all generations.
Join our CBI family as we usher in this special holiday of freedom at the First Seder on Friday, April 3. I look forward
to celebrating with our CBI family this meaningful holiday.
With best wishes for a Hag Kasher vSameah! Shalom,
From the Cantor We have a lot going on in April. Of course, the highlight of the month is Passover, but we also have three other observances: Yom Hashoah, when we remember those who perished
in the Holocaust; Yom Hazikkaron, Israeli Memorial Day, when we remember all of the
Israeli soldiers who have died serving their country; and Yom HaAtzmaut, Israeli Independence Day.
I would also like to take a moment to tell you about some special services, events, and classes this month:
On Friday, April 17, at 6:30 pm, we will have a special Kabbalat Shabbat service featuring the music of Debbie
Friedman zl. Debbie Friedman was one of the most prolific and influential Jewish songwriters of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and she was an icon in the Reform Movement. In a way, she was the Reform Shlomo Carlebach. And if you would like to learn the featured Debbie Friedman music in advance, come join me for the Debbie Friedman Sneak Peek on Monday, April 13, at 6:45 pm in the CBI chapel.
Looking ahead into May, we have another special Kabbalat Shabbat service coming up. On Friday, May 8, at 6:30
pm, we will have Sephardic Kabbalat Shabbat, featuring music from the Spanish-Portuguese and Moroccan
traditions. I learned this music in my first year of Cantorial School in Jerusalem when I had the pleasure of studying
with Dr. Edwin Seroussi, who is an expert on Sephardic musical traditions. It will be my pleasure to share a portion
of his teaching with you on that night. And if you would like to learn the music in advance, come join me for
the Sephardic Shabbat Sneak Peek on Monday, April 27, at 6:45 pm in the CBI chapel.
This April and May, beginning after Passover, I will also be teaching a class on How to Lead the Friday Night
Service on Tuesday afternoons from 5:30 to 6:30, beginning April 14, and ending May 26. If you would like to learn how to lead the Friday night service, or if you would simply like to better familiarize yourself with the
prayers and melodies, then this is the class for you! This class is for Hebrew readers, as we will be using Siddur Sim Shalom.
Hag Sameah,

From the President What is a kehilla? It is defined as a community, particularly of people who share the same purpose.
So if we share the same purpose, does that mean we all have the same purpose for being part of a
kehilla? I dont think so! I think we are part of CBI for many different reasons. Each of us has come here because of our Jewish Journeys. I will share mine.
My father was born in Bessarabia, and my grandmother always said that she didnt know what country it was until she looked up and saw which flag was flying! My mother was born here. I grew up in
Belmar, New Jersey, a small town at the Jersey shore that had one synagogue: Orthodox. My fathers parents, who were Orthodox, lived nearby in Asbury Park and had a tremendous influence on my religious beliefs.
My parents were definitely Jewish, but were not religious. As a young girl, some of my friends were the seven other
Jewish girls in my class. In fact, one of our group wanted to have a Bat Mitzvah like the boys. Her family convinced our Rabbi
that we should learn, and he started classes for us. We eventually had a Sunday Confirmation / Bnot Mitzvah.
Our family moved to another New Jersey community that had a Conservative Synagogue. We became members and made
many Jewish friends. My mother became the choir director. There was a Jewish sorority, Iota Phi, and I eventually became
president. (Guess that was a precursor of things to come.) I was active in USY as well.
Then came marriage, two sons, and the Reform Temple. I was not active in Jewish community life as I was working and going to
school while raising the boys after a divorce.
Then I met Larry, who was brought up Conservadox. We joined a Conservative Synagogue, started a kosher home, and worked hard together. We were involved in our synagogue, attended services on holidays and whenever we could, and I sang
in the choir. We had synagogue friends and family around us.
We retired to St. Petersburg 24 years later. I had always said that when we retired, I would become active in the Jewish
community. We found CBI and immediately loved the people who made us feel welcome from the first minute.
You know the rest!
I have found the meaning of kehilla. For me, kehilla means my St. Petersburg family. Come and see what it means to you.
Tell us about your Jewish journey. If you would like, we can publish it and get to know you better.
Larry and I will be away for Pesah this year, but we send best wishes to you and those you love for a Hag Kasher vSameah. Shalom,
From the Executive Director One of the things I love about Judaism is its time-bound nature. The months of Nisan and Iyyar are
punctuated with special moments in time. The star of the month of Nisan, of course, is Pesah, commemorating the exodus from Egypt and firmly heading us toward the future as we begin counting
the omer and marching toward Sinai. Often, were so relieved to be done with the food-related challenges of Pesah that we overlook the Yoms that fall between Pesah and Shavuot.
Yom Hashoah, observed by decree of the Israeli Knesset on the 27th of Nisan, is observed as Holocaust Memorial Day in memory of the victims of the Nazis and in honor of those who resisted their efforts at genocide.
Our Mitzvah Mens Club distributes yellow candles to CBI members to light on Yom Hashoah. Yom Hazikkaron, Memorial Day, is observed on the 4th of Iyyar and is dedicated to the memory of all those who have died in defense of the State
of Israel since 1948. In Israel, everyone stops to observe a national moment of silent mourning as an air raid siren is sounded.
On the 5th of Iyyar, the day corresponding to May 14, 1948 when the State of Israel was proclaimed, the mood changes to one
of joy and hope as we observe Yom Haatzmaut, Israel Independence Day. In Israel, there are parades, celebrations, and dancing in the streets! Here in Pinellas County, well enjoy a community celebration sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Pinellas and Pasco Counties.
The last Yom before Shavuot is celebrated on the 28th of Iyyar. Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, corresponds to the day in 1968
when the IDF entered the Old City of Jerusalem and reclaimed, among other things, the Kotel (Western Wall) from Jordan.
This day provides us with the opportunity to reflect on the sanctity of Jerusalem and to honor the men and women of the IDF
who participated in its liberation.
So when you savor that first taste of pizza after sundown on the last day of Pesah, remember the days ahead bring more Yoms
to savor!

Calling All Storytellers!
Pauline Rivkind Early Childhood Education Center is looking for some fabulous volunteers
to come read to our youngest learners. We will even provide you with a selected P.J. Library Story
that supports our Judaica! Schedules are flexible as we have availability Monday through Friday,
9:30 am - 12:00 pm. Interested in getting involved?
Please contact Preschool Director Katherine Schaefer at
[email protected] or 727.302.9668.
Pauline Rivkind Early Childhood Education Center (PRECEC)
Spring has sprung and so has the PRECEC Organic Vegetable Goodness Garden! Starting back in January 2014, our
VPK Stars built and planted a simple three bed garden in the CBI Courtyard. Today, our garden is now four beds and
includes various flowers, berries, herbs, and vegetables.
The Goodness Garden is not just a matter of teaching children how to plant and harvest. Educators are able to
utilize this space to draw inspiration in their daily lessons. From nutrition and wellness to art and math, the
Goodness Garden is essentially an outdoor classroom for our children to quite literally grow and learn together.
If you would like to donate certified organic soil, certified organic seeds/seedlings, mulch, or garden equipment, or
you are interested in aiding in tending our garden, please contact me at 727.302.9668.
In keeping with the Health and Wellness theme in our PRECEC community, we have also introduced weekly yoga
lessons to our list of amazing extra-curricular activities for our students. PRECEC also offers dance, soccer, and
gymnastics to a variety of ages throughout the week.
PRECEC has grown tremendously over the course of the last few months, all thanks to the support of the CBI
congregation, friends, and local families. What has grown from a mere 19 students and three classrooms in August
2014 is now a school with 65 families and 6 classrooms. Currently, our Tiny Owl Infant Room and Little Monkey
Toddler Rooms are on waiting lists. If you are interested in getting a child you know on our waiting list program or
enrolling them in one of the older classrooms, please contact the preschool office today!

Learn with Cantor Schultz!
Debbie Friedman Sneak Peek! & Kabbalat Shabbat
Come learn the Kabbalat Shabbat music of Debbie Friedman zl! Monday, April 13, at 6:45 pm in the Chapel. You will have an excellent opportunity to learn the music for a special musical Friday
night service on Friday, April 17.
Debbie Friedman, zl, was one of the most prolific and influential Jewish songwriters of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. She was an icon in the Reform Movement, although some of her melodies
are sung regularly in Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Modern Orthodox congregations.
Debbies early musical influences included Peter, Paul, and Mary; Joan Baez; Judy Collins; and a number of other folk music artists. She wrote many of her early songs as a song leader at an
overnight camp in the early 1970s.
She is best known for her settings of Mi Shebeirach, the prayer for healing, and Oseh Shalom. Some of her other greatest hits include Miriams Song, Not by Might, and I am a Latke.
After her death in 2011, the School of Sacred Music at Hebrew Union College was renamed
The Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music. Find out more and check out her music at
www.debbiefriedman.com.
Sephardic Sneak Peek! & Kabbalat Shabbat
By now you're a Debbie Friedman pro, so it's time to learn Spanish-Portuguese and Moroccan
Shabbat melodies! This class meets Monday, April 27, at 6:45 pm in the chapel to give you a
"sneak peek" into the Kabbalat Shabbat music of Friday, May 8, at 6:30 pm.
Sephardic music is equal parts wistful and festive, with origins as diverse and colorful as its melodies.
The Sephardi people descended from exiled Iberian Peninsula Jews who spread from Portugal and
Spain into former Turkey, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria. Their music evolved from Ottoman,
Eastern Mediterranean, and Moroccan traditions into what we now know as Sephardic music.
Learn the Friday Night Service!
If youd like to learn how to lead the Friday night service, or if youd just like to become more familiar with the prayers and the melodies we use, this is the class for you! This class is for
Hebrew readers, as you will be using Siddur Sim Shalom in class.
Sessions: Tuesdays, April 14, 21, and 28; May 12, 19, and 26.
Please note there is no class on Tuesday, May 5, as Cantor will be at a convention in Chicago.

Advocacy for Israel Committee
Anti-Semitism in Europe: A series by Dr. Leslie Pearlstein In past articles, I have written about recent events in Europe linked to new anti-Semitism. What, then, is this new anti-Semitism? New anti-Semitism is the concept that a new form of anti-Semitism has developed in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, emanating simultaneously from the far-left, the far-right, and radical Islam,
and tending to manifest itself as opposition to Zionism and the State of Israel. The concept generally posits that
much of what purports to be criticism of Israel by various individuals and world bodies is, in fact, tantamount to
demonization, and that, together with an alleged international resurgence of attacks on Jews and Jewish symbols, and an increased acceptance of anti-Semitic beliefs in public discourse, such demonization represents an evolution in
the appearance of older anti-Semitic beliefs.
Writing in 1973 (American Jewish Congress' Congress Bi-Weekly), Abba Eban, the Foreign Minister of Israel,
identified anti-Zionism as the new anti-Semitism, saying: "Recently we have witnessed the rise of the new left which identifies Israel with the establishment, with
acquisition, with smug satisfaction, with, in fact, all the basic enemies Let there be no mistake: the new left is the author and the progenitor of the new anti-Semitism. Anti-Zionism is merely the new anti-Semitism.
The old classic anti-Semitism declared that equal rights belong to all individuals within the society, except the
Jews. The new anti-Semitism says that the right to establish and maintain an independent national sovereign state
is the prerogative of all nations, so long as they happen not to be Jewish.
Irwin Cotler, Professor of Law at McGill University and a leading scholar of human rights, has identified nine aspects
of what he considers to constitute the "new anti-Semitism":
Genocidal anti-Semitism: Calling for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.
Political anti-Semitism: Denial of the Jewish people's right to self-determination, de-legitimization of Israel as
a state, attributions to Israel of all the world's evils.
Ideological anti-Semitism: "Nazifying" Israel by comparing Zionism and racism.
Theological anti-Semitism: Convergence of Islamic anti-Semitism and Christian "replacement" theology,
drawing on the classical hatred of Jews.
Cultural anti-Semitism: The emergence of anti-Israel attitudes, sentiments, and discourse in "fashionable"
salon intellectuals.
Economic anti-Semitism: BDS movements and the extraterritorial application of restrictive covenants
against countries trading with Israel.
Holocaust denial
Anti-Jewish racist terrorism
International legal discrimination ("Denial to Israel of equality before the law in the international arena"):
Differential and discriminatory treatment towards Israel in the international arena.
Jack Fischel, former chair of history at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, agrees that new anti-Semitism is a new
phenomenon stemming from a coalition of "leftists, vociferously opposed to the policies of Israel, and right-wing
anti-Semites, committed to the destruction of Israel, [who] were joined by millions of Muslims, including Arabs,
who immigrated to Europe... and who brought with them their hatred of Israel in particular and of Jews in general."
It is this new political alignment, he argues, that makes new anti-Semitism unique.

Mitzvah Mens Club
As youve undoubtedly heard by now, Bill Marger is the 2015 Man of the Year. Bill is a former Mitzvah Mens Club (MMC) President and an active current CBI Trustee and member of the Executive Committee. He is always
willing to pitch in and help, not only with his physical efforts, but also with his great problem solving and forward
thinking. Yasher koach to Bill for this well-deserved recognition for his efforts.
An additional reason to kvell is that our own Jeff Litt will be honored at the forthcoming international convention
of the Federation of Jewish Mens Clubs (FJMC) with its Maasim Tovim (good deeds) Award. It is the highest honor bestowed by the organization, given only to those whose accomplishments and contributions span many
years.
Coming up on Wednesday, April 8 is our annual Passover BBQ, an event that always draws a crowd. MMCs famous Mothers Day Brunch follows close behind on Sunday, May 10.
CBIs MMC is the lead host club for Florida FJMCs statewide Golf Tournament, held at Bardmoor Country Club on Sunday, May 31, featuring our own Moishe Pipick as Chief Marshall. The 1:00 pm shotgun start will be followed
by a great dinner and appropriate frivolities.
