Vol. 50, No. 7
The story of the Jews’ Exodus
from Egypt—as told during
the Passover Seder—is
punctuated by numbers: four
cups of wine, ten plagues, the
four questions, two zuzim, and
everyone’s favorite post-seder
challenge, “Who Knows
One?”
Temple Israel’s congregational
seder will have some
additional amazing numbers:
350 matzo balls, more than 40
kosher chickens, 50 pounds of potatoes and 150
friends and family.
Rabbi Sofian will lead Seder in the Great Hall on
Tuesday, April 15, beginning at 6:00 p.m. and
concluding at about 8:00 p.m. Profits from
Temple’s second Seder provide scholarships to
help Temple’s younger members attend summer
camp at Goldman Union Camp Institute in
Zionsville, IN.
Again this year, Simone Sofian and a corps of
capable volunteers will prepare everything. This
year’s Seder menu will include matzo ball soup,
gefilte fish, baked chicken, carrot tzimmes,
roasted potatoes, charoset, Israeli salad and
dessert. A vegetarian option will be available for
those who request it in advance. All the food
will be kosher for Pesach, although Temple’s
kitchen and dishes are not. No chametz will be
served, and no chametz may be carried into the
building during Passover.
Dinner will also include wine
or juice, and congregants may
bring wine of their own.
Cost of the Seder is $30 for
adults, $15 for children ages
4-10, and free for children age
three and under. Seating is
limited; reservations are
required and must be made by
Wednesday, April 9.

will be given first priority.

Temple Is Setting Table For Passover’s Second Seder
Is There An Extra Seat
At Your Seder Table?
Some in our congregation—newcomers to the
area, students, singles, widows and
widowers—may have no one with whom to
celebrate Passover.
If you have an extra place or two at your
Seder table, or if you have no one to
celebrate with, please call Temple at
496-0050 and our Membership Committee
will try to put gracious hosts in touch with
appreciative guests.
New Holiday Featured Onegs
The Hebrew word oneg translates to delight or joy (not food!), however, we usually think of
an oneg as the gathering following Shabbat services that involves food and conversation with
friends. As a way to recognize the Jewish holidays, we are beginning to feature special onegs with
food related to those holidays.
For the month of April, Passover is a featured holiday,
and we hope you will join us for some chocolate-covered
matzah following services on April 18. The following
week, we will shine a light on Israel in (early) celebration
of Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day, with Israeli
flag cookies on April 25.

A Message From…
Rabbi David M. Sofian
What a winter! I am certain we are
all thrilled that Pesah is almost here
and with it, spring. Because it might
be my favorite Jewish Festival, I
always look forward to Passover and
its Seders. That has been hard with
so much snow on the ground and so
little heat in the air. Nevertheless,
let’s look forward now and think
about a beloved section of the Pesah
Haggadah. I am thinking about the
section about the four sons or-as we
usually refer to it today-the four
children.
The first three children: “wise,”
“wicked,” “simple;” are each
interesting in their own right. But I
would like to focus on the fourth
child, the one “unable to ask.” The
Haggadah text tells us that for such a
child, we are not to wait for a
question, but to begin the
explanation on our own. We are to
do that by quoting Exodus 13:18,
“You shall tell your child on that day,
saying: ‘This is because of what God
did for me when I went free from
Egypt.’” What does it mean to say
God did it for me? Were we actually
there in Egypt at the Exodus so long
ago that we can say and mean God
did it for me? Answering this
question unlocks the key to the
Seder experience.
The power and significance of Pesah
is not merely in the narrative’s
recitation, but in the chance every
single year to do our very best to
relive the experience of that story.
Everything about the Seder is
designed to help us achieve this.
The Seder is designed so that our
senses, our emotions, and our
intellect are all brought into play.
This is why we eat, drink, smell, see
and feel all the symbols. It is not
enough to merely recite the section
on the ten plagues, we have to touch
the wine as we remove the drops. It
is not enough to recite the chain of
feats God did for us; we must sing
“Dayenu” to better feel its impact.
It is not enough to recite words
about the degradation of slavery; we
must eat the bread of affliction and
cry tears even if they are caused by
potent horseradish. It is not enough
to recite the story by rote; we must
dwell on it, adding rabbinic
interpretation to it, using our brains
to stretch it so that we might eke
out every possible smidgen of
meaning.
Indeed, the secret is embedded in
Exodus 13:18, “You shall tell your
child on that day, saying, ‘This is
because of what God did for me
when I went free from Egypt.’”
Don’t be hesitant to dwell on each
and every aspect of the Seder. Ask
questions, discuss answers, add
readings, and carefully taste, smell,
see and feel all the symbols. I know
to do so will make your Seder
profoundly, powerfully, meaningful.

Board of Directors. The meeting will begin at 6:00

Bagels And Locks Of Love
Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides
hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United
States and Canada under age 21, who are suffering from long-
term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. They meet a unique
need for children by using donated hair to create the highest
quality hair prosthetics. The prostheses provide help to
restore children’s self-esteem and confidence, enabling them to
face the world and their peers.
If you have been growing out your hair and are ready for a
“new do,” please consider participating in Locks of Love. You
can join us at the Lag B’Omer Picnic on May 18 after religious
school. We’ll have someone here to cut your hair so it’s ready
for donating, minimum length is ten inches. Please let us know
that you’d like to participate before April 15 so we will be
ready to accommodate you.
Gabrielle Marie Frost will be
called to the Torah as a Bat
Mitzvah at Temple Israel on
May 3.
Gabrielle is an eighth grade
student at Northmont
Middle School. Her interests
include music, performing
arts, and reading. She loves
to spend time with her
friends and family. She
spends much of her free time
singing and enjoys playing
basketball. She is currently auditioning and looking
forward to performing with the Vandalia Youth
Theater this summer.
She is currently completing her mitzvah project
with 4 Paws for Ability. Gabrielle’s parents are
Sean and Becca Frost.
Facilitating the discussions will be (clockwise, from top) Rev. Dr. John
