The students of the Learning and Engagement Center, in conjunction

with DRC Solutions, fulfilled the mitzvah of donating to those in need

on Sunday, March 24, 2019. They collected and delivered furniture

and household items to a family in need. Through their efforts, they

helped turn an apartment into a home. Thank you to everyone who

donated their resources, time and energy to this project.

“Love your fellow as yourself: I am the Lord.—Leviticus 19:18


The words Chag

Kasher V’samech

(Happy and Kosher

Holiday) are the

common greeting

that Jews all over the

world offer one to

the other in the days

leading up to

Passover.

Therefore, let me

first wish all of us

and Klal Yisrael (the people of Israel) a happy

and healthy Passover. May God bless your homes

and your seders. One question that I receive each

year without fail is; can rice and legumes be eaten

during Passover? In order to answer this question

I am offering up below a responsa (halachick

opinion) written by Rabbi David Golinkin for the

Law Committee of Israel. It is my hope that his

responsa will help to answer this question and

bring clarity to the issues surrounding the

consumption of legumes during Passover.

Should you like to discuss this issue more in

depth, please feel free to contact me at anytime.

Michal, Daniel, Maya, Lia, Rocky and myself

would like to wish everyone a Chag Kasher

V’sanech.

Eating Kitniyot (Legumes)

on Pesach

(OH 453:1)

Question:

In light of the ingathering of the exiles, would it

be possible to eliminate the Ashkenazic custom of

not eating legumes on Pesach?

Responsum: 1) In our opinion it is permitted (and perhaps even

obligatory) to eliminate this custom. It is in direct

contradiction to an explicit decision in the

Babylonian Talmud (Pesachim 114b) and is also

in contradiction to the opinion of all the sages of the Mishnah and Talmud except one (R.Yochanan

ben Nuri, Pesahim 35a and parallels). It also

contradicts the theory and the practice of the

Amoraim both in Babylonia and in Israel

(Pesahim 114b and other sources), the Geonim

(Sheiltot, Halakhot Pesukot, Halakhot Gedolot,

etc.) and of most of the early medieval authorities

in all countries (altogether more than 50

Rishonim!).

2) This custom is mentioned for the first time in

France and Provence in the beginning of the

thirteenth century by R. Asher of Lunel, R. Samuel

of Falaise, and R. Peretz of Corbeil - from there it

spread to various countries and the list of prohibited

foods continued to expand. Nevertheless, the reason

for the custom was unknown and as a result many

sages invented at least eleven different explanations

for the custom. As a result, R. Samuel of Falaise, one

of the first to mention it, referred to it as a "mistaken

custom" and R. Yerucham called it a "foolish

custom.”

3) Therefore, the main halakhic question in this case

is whether it is permissible to do away with a

mistaken or foolish custom. Many rabbinic

authorities have ruled that it is permitted (and

perhaps even obligatory) to do away with this type of

"foolish custom" (R. Abin in Yerushalmi Pesahim,

Maimonides, the Rosh, the Ribash, and many others).

Furthermore, there are many good reasons to do

away with this "foolish custom": a) It detracts from

the joy of the holiday by limiting the number of

permitted foods; b) It causes exorbitant price rises,

which result in "major financial loss" and, as is well known, "the Torah takes pity on the people of Israel's

money"; c) It emphasizes the insignificant (legumes)

and ignores the significant (hametz, which is

forbidden from the five kinds of grain); d) It causes

people to scoff at the commandments in general and

at the prohibition of hametz in particular - if this

custom has no purpose and is observed, then there is

no reason to observe other commandments; e)

Finally, it causes unnecessary divisions between

Israel's different ethnic groups. On the other hand,

there is only one reason to observe this custom: the

desire to preserve an old custom. Obviously, this

desire does not override all that was mentioned

above. Therefore, both Ashkenazim and Sephardim

are permitted to eat legumes and rice on Pesah

without fear of transgressing any prohibition.

4) Undoubtedly, there will be Ashkenazim who will

want to stick to the "custom of their ancestors" even

though they know that it is permitted to eat legumes

on Pesah. To them we recommend that they observe

only the original custom of not eating rice and

legumes but that they use oil from legumes and all

the other foods "forbidden" over the years, such as peas, beans, garlic, mustard, sunflower seeds,

peanuts etc. Thus they will be able to eat hundreds of

products, which bear the label "Kosher for Pesah for

those who eat legumes." This will make their lives

easier and will add joy and pleasure to their

observance of Pesah.

PRESIDENT’S DESK I recently attended the annual

international conference of the

North American Association of

Synagogue Executives. The

conference theme was “Innovation

and Continuation: Peering over the

Horizon, Preparing for the Next

Five Years.”

This immersive conference

included a series of dynamic speakers, engaging panels, and

carefully tailored study sessions and keynote presentations

from experts in various related fields. The conference offers

strong peer connections in the synagogue director network,

and can enrich professional skills and knowledge bases

critical to the field of synagogue administration, thereby

ensuring the highest level of service to North America

congregations.

In addition to expert presenters, we had the opportunity to

learn from one another in a very unique setting known as

“NAASE University.” This is a fast paced component of the

conference offering opportunity for small group, face to face,

and in depth exploration of timely topics and issues.

I have found that CAS is not much different from other

synagogues, and our concerns, hopes and dreams mirror so

many others. We all are interested in engaging our

members, providing a warm and safe environment, and

encouraging individual spiritual growth.

I hope that you plan on joining us for the second night

Passover Seder as we expand our family of families.

Michael Linn

FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Sholom. My best wishes to everyone for a beautiful

Pesach. It’s one of the most wonderful traditions we

practice in Judaism and a grand opportunity to gather

friends and family together (and an occasional stranger) to

make memories. Enjoy. Remember. Enjoy.

I want to thank all those who help our synagogue operate

all year long. I suspect that most congregants are unaware

of or have forgotten the complexity of our organization

with its many working parts. I can easily count 100

individuals who frequently help make things work as solo

contributors or members of an active committee.

Committees are an essential part of our success and we

have many including: Education, Youth, Membership,

Cemetery, Investments and Endowments Funds, Budget

and Finance, House, Audit and our Board of Directors.

The Ritual Committee and all those who help organize or

lead our weekday and Shabbat services deserve special

recognition.

Some CAS committees are more visible but every

committee serves a very important function. In addition, I

want recognize the role of the Ladies Auxiliary and Men’s

Club; two groups that provide leadership, plan many

events and provide important funds to CAS. Finally, I

don’t want to forget the many solo contributors who help

cook, maintain our building, maintain our cemetery, repair

prayers books, and all those who provide funds when

unexpected expenses occur.

While naming our various committees and recognizing

our solo volunteers, I have purposely avoided naming

individuals. The list of individuals is very long and there

is a high probability that I will inadvertently omit

someone who deserves praise. I want to thank all those

who have donated their time and resources to the

synagogue. Your efforts are essential and we are very

grateful.

Finally, I want to recognize and thank our wonderful

clergy and staff. Without our Rabbi, Executive Director,

Administrative Assistant, Bookkeeper, Kitchen and

Maintenance Staff, the work of our volunteers would be

much more difficult or impossible. Thank you.

As always, your ideas and questions are welcome. Let me

hear from you.

Dr. Julian Haber will soon begin work on Volume 3 of

They Were Soldiers in Peace and War. These are his

areas of focus:

Veterans who were not covered in Vol. 1 or 2. Even a

relative’s interesting experiences in the military from

WWII and onward, and/or pictures would also be

helpful as would soldiers currently serving.

Allied veterans: Israel, England, France, etc, - Dr.

Haber is looking for Jewish persons that served in the

old Soviet Union Army for a prospective of how they

were treated as a Jewish person in the armed forces.

An additional section will be letters to the home front

for the time period of WWI forward.

All these veterans may have served in peacetime or in

war.

Please contact Dr. Haber, or call the shul office at

817-731-4721.

Awards will be presented at a date and time to be deter-

mined. Award recipients will be notified in May 2019.

The Academic Grant is competitive and will be awarded

based on overall academic achievement, GPA, Standard-

ized Admission Test (SAT) or (ACT) and extracurricular

activities.

BBYO Participation Grant is based on BBYO activities,

leadership roles, and active participation in local, regional

and national events.

Applications must be postmarked by May 1, 2019

For All Your Travel Needs

R TTRAVEL

An exhibit of 500-year-old Jewish books and Talmudic

tractates will be on display at Texas Christian University

April 2 through May 22 in the Special Collections section

of the campus library.

These rare books, exquisitely illustrated and printed in

Hebrew, Aramaic, and Latin, were among a trove of

10,000 books that the university purchased from an aging

Cincinnati scholar in 2001. At that time, TCU’s Brite Di-

vinity School was establishing a Program in Jewish Stud-

ies and acquired the books as the core of its Judaica col-

lection.

The exhibit, which is free to the public, is opening in con-

junction with a guest lecture at 7 p.m., April 2, from Van-

derbilt University Prof. David H. Price. He will speak in

the library’s Gearhart Reading Room on “Christian He-

braism and the Survival of Judaism: Two Perspectives.”

The Louis and Frieda Cristol Endowment for Academic

Programming in Jewish Studies is sponsoring the lecture.

For a special tour of the exhibit prior to the lecture, meet

at the East Entrance to the TCU Library at 5:50 p.m.,

April 2. Free parking is available at non-reserved lots after

5 p.m.

The Judaica exhibit includes a tractate from the Talmud

dealing with the holiday of Shavuot. It was published in

Venice in 1526 by pioneer printer Daniel Bomberg, a

Christian whose template for laying out multiple Talmud-

ic discussions on the printed page is still followed.

Another Bomberg manuscript in the exhibit is Y alkut Shi-

moni, a midrashic anthology on the bible. This artistical-

ly printed piece of literature from the Bomberg press was

published in Venice in 1566.

Also in the display are works in Latin by Johann Buxtorf,

a 17th century Swiss scholar of Hebrew. Although a

Protestant, Buxtorf was dubbed a "Master of the Rabbis."

Among his books in the exhibit is a thesaurus of Hebrew

terms.

The director of the Jewish Studies Program at Brite is Dr.

Ariel Friedman, a congregant at Ahavath Sholom and

TCU's Rosalyn and Manny Rosenthal Associate Professor

of Jewish Studies. The rare books, gathered

by the late Rabbi Israel Otto Lehman, was

purchased by the program’s founding direc-

tor Dr. David Nelson.

This page from the Babylonian Talmud, printed in

Venice in 1527, is part of a rare Jewish book exhibit at

the TCU Library from April 2 to May 22. This illustra-

tion is from Tractate Horayoth.
