Notes from the Cantor
Way back in the 1980’s I served one year as the cantor of Temple Sinai in Roslyn, Long Island. Howard Stern and his family were members there during the height of his popularity as a radio “shock jock.” Occasionally Stern would drop his daughter off at nursery school, definitely the only dad in skin-tight leather pants and shoulder-length curls. I was eager to get to know all the congregants, so even though I was as devoted to National Public Radio then as I am now, I would sometimes listen to the Howard Stern Show on my drive from Staten Island to Roslyn. I was lucky enough to be tuned in the day he explained Purim to his African-American co-host, Robin Quivers. Since I don’t remember his exact words, I’ll reconstruct the dialogue -- and fix it up a bit while I’m at it. Robin: So what’s this Jewish holiday Purim all about? Stern: It serves a very important purpose. Robin: Oh? Stern: Well, do you know what Passover is? Robin: Are you answering a question with a question? I understand that’s a very Jewish thing to do. Stern: Who told you that? Robin: Probably you. So, yeah. I know about Passover. Let my people go. Get free from Egypt, eat matzo. Stern: Right. And do you have any idea what matzo does to a person’s intestines? Robin: I’m guessing I don’t want to know. But what does what matzo does to a person’s intestines have to do with Purim? Stern: On Purim, Jews eat hamantashen. Robin: Human what's-it? Stern: Hamantashen. Triangular shaped cookies filled with prune goop. The prunes clean you out so you are ready for the matzo on Passover. Friends, the very last line of this dialogue is actually the only part of the conversation that I’m sure I remember word for word. When Howard Stern became a judge on American Idol, the Parents Television Council advised NBC to avoid his “reputation for sleaze and misogyny,” but at least regarding Purim, Stern is tells it like it is. Purim cleans out the SAD-ness (Seasonal Affective Disorder) of winter and makes us laugh. Afterwards, we set aside levity and leavening for the more solemn joy of Passover. So come enjoy our Saturday evening megillah reading and spiel, “Les Shlemazal-rables” in our social hall on February 23, then get serious after that on February 26 in the new adult education class, “Introduction to Mussar.” And, be happy! Adar is here!
Cantor Suzanne Bernstein, Spiritual Leader
President’s Message
Well, we survived both the Mayan Apocalypse and the Secular New Year (albeit with a few headaches) and now we’ve gotten to February.
February sees us through the Hebrew month of Sh'vat and takes us into the month of Adar. The Talmud says: Mi shenichnas Adar, marbim be simcha! Loosely translated that means: Adar is here and happiness abounds!
And there’s a lot to be happy about: On the secular side we’ve got some Presidential Birthdays, Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day and the Superbowl! While over at the Temple, there’s a whole slew of things happening: The Women of PTBAS are having a film and lecture on the 10th and Fundraising is running a dinner and a movie on the 17th! But most important of all is the 23rd when after Shabbat we begin the celebration of Purim.
We all look forward to another great performance by our Purim Spielers and remember what the Rabbis said: On Purim it’s a mitzvah to get so tipsy – “ad de lo yadah….” Until you can’t tell the difference between blessed be Mordechai and cursed be Haman.
While I don’t recommend getting that blotto myself, I do recommend coming to Temple and enjoying the celebration of Purim.
And while you’re driving, watch out for our neighbors who WILL be getting that shikkered.
Chag Sameach!
Sam Silverman
Brotherhood
Although small in numbers, almost all the men who participate in temple events have joined Brotherhood and we can't say enough about the dedicated members who attend almost all our meetings and events. Without you there would be no Brotherhood of PTBAS! You know who you are. Fresh faces and new ideas are always welcome. If you are one of the few who have not joined, try it... you might like it. We are sure that all who attended Joseph Fuchs follow-up presentation in January, From Oy to Joy, learned many new and safe ways to make our life more peaceful and enjoyable in a very stressful world. I just wish more of our temple members were able to attend our meetings. UPCOMING EVENTS 1. Brotherhood meeting: Sunday, February 10, at 9:30 AM. (Since this is Chinese New Year you are welcome to bring your favorite Asian dish along.) Please check your email, temple flyers, our bulletin board or bema announcements regarding events after the meeting. Plans were not finalized at the deadline for this article. 2. The Big Event is almost here! Sunday, March 10. The Fantastic Brotherhood Luncheon honoring Harold Gleiberman will take place at 12:30 PM at Rex Manor. If you have not already sent in your reservation, there is still time to do so. Don't get shut out, we are limited to the first 200 people!
Don't forget THE BIG RAFFLE! For only $25 you can win two orchestra seats to any Broadway show or $250 in cash. Can't attend? You can still participate. See any officer of Brotherhood with cash in hand and you're in. Attendance at the luncheon is not required to win, but we sure would love to see you there. Happy Groundhog Day, Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day and Purim to any of our members or possible members who celebrate any of these holidays. (You never know!)

Women of PTBAS
The weather cooperated and so our annual January Game Afternoon went off as scheduled. This has always been a popular event for our members. On Sunday, February 10, we will show the movie “1/2 The Kingdom,” followed by a discussion led by our own Janet Haynes. It promises to be an interesting afternoon. The program is open to both men and women.
It seems silly to be thinking about Passover during the frigid winter months, but this year Passover will start on March 25. Our Women of PTBAS will once again hold our Annual Feminist Seder, open to both men and women. Please plan to attend on Thursday, March 28, at 7 PM. Toby Greenberg has been hard at work tweaking our haggadah to once again make it relevant.
On Monday, April 15, we will have an evening of poetry – your own or a favorite poet. On Friday, May 10, we will celebrate our Women’s Shabbat Service. On Monday, June 3, we will have our second Doo-Wop Concert. We will end our year with a dinner on Tuesday, July 9, location still to be determined.
We hope to see all of you at these planned events.

Women of PTBAS Annual Feminist Seder (open to both men and women)
Well, we ended 2012 with an fairly impromptu trip to the Center for Jewish History. On December 30 eight brave souls appeared, despite the wind and the cold. It was certainly worth it. The exhibit on the eruv was fascinating and we had a wonderful tour guide. While it is said that the eruv was first instituted by King Solomon, it became customary primarily in medieval times, initially to enable Jews to carry their big pots of chulent from the town communal oven back home for Shabbat. In America there have been controversies between those groups who used the eruv and those who did not and, if the eruv were to be used, what the boundaries would be. For many years it was believed that all of Manhattan could be within one eruv, but problems arose because boundaries (which were often natural (such as waterways) were not fixed and because having such a large area would effectively defeat any conception that there was a prohibition on carrying on Shabbat. Our guide created an eruv within her own apartment building, which is apparently not uncommon. Use of the eruv was found to be very liberating. It was very interesting to see how meaningful this issue could be. We also learned about the Jews who fled to Shanghai from Germany and Austria during World War II. Unfortunately Shanghai was soon occupied by Japan, which was allied with Germany. As a result, Jews had to live in a restricted area and many were unable to work and forced to rely on charitable donations from outside agencies. However, it was still safer than staying in Europe. They managed to have cabarets and form soccer leagues. On display are charming Chinese-style woodcuts by a deaf artist. Our next activity should be on Sunday, March 3. We plan to visit the museum and sanctuary of Temple Emanuel. Please let me or Helene know if you are interested in attending. We may also have other impromptu activities.
Yvette Pomeranz, Chair
Social Action Committee Thank you, as always, for your very generous contributions to our Chanukah Gift Bag Drive, in conjunction with JASA, for the senior members of the Coney Island Active Aging (CIAA) Center, and for your contributions to the Housewarming Baskets for U.S. military veterans.
Although we had been anxious to deliver these items in time for Chanukah and the secular New Year, respectively, we’ve been thwarted by the effects of Superstorm Sandy on both of those facilities. CIAA is now recovering from its damage, and we look forward to assembling the gift bags and delivering them shortly. Please let us know if you would like to assist in the assembly or delivery of the bags; we’re happy to have you join us.
The VA Medical Center of Brooklyn, however, presumably because of the storm-related closure of the Manhattan facility, currently lacks space for storage of the items donated. Consequently, we are asked to wait one month or so before arranging to deliver the housewarming items. We look forward to doing so as soon as the VAMC can accommodate all the lovely and thoughtful contributions. Clothing collection will continue as usual. Cantor Bernstein’s “Snacks for Shomrim” have been mailed to help U.S. service members experience a more joyful Purim. Purim begins on the evening of February 23, 2013. In the wake of the recent horrific violence, we extend thoughts and prayers to the residents of Newtown, Connecticut, and to victims of violence throughout the world. We look forward to renewing our Social Action efforts for the coming year, and to your joining us in any projects of interest to you. Thank you once again, and may 2013 bring health, safety, and peace to all.

Toby Greenberg, Chair
Every Voice at the Western Wall
Let's all sign the petition on behalf of religious
inclusion on the Western Wall Heritage Council
On October 16th, police intervened as women,
including Anat Hoffman, Executive Director of the
Israel Religious Action Center and chairwoman of
Women of the Wall, prayed at the Kotel (Western
Wall). Hoffman was arrested and charged with the
“offense” of wearing a prayer shawl and disturbing
public order. The Reform Movement issued a
statement following Hoffman’s arrest calling on “the
government of Israel to remove the ultra-Orthodox
authority that oversees the Kotel and ensure the
rights of all Jewish people to pray at this holy site,
men and women alike.”
We, too, are Jewish
We, too, deserve a place at Judaism's holiest site.
A call for the State of Israel to include on the Western Wall Heritage Council members who are not Orthodox so that multiple voices and religious views can be part of the administration of the Kotel.
We believe the time is long overdue for Israel to
recognize that there is more than one way to
practice Judaism and to acknowledge the value and
importance of supporting all denominations in
Judaism. Israel’s Jewish heritage is a treasure that
must be shared by all Jews and all Jews have a right
to an equal voice in its stewardship.
Add your name to a petition urging the Israeli
government to ensure that oversight of the Kotel
includes a range of Jewish views and voices and
protects gender equality.
This petition will be available in the PTBAS Social
hall, or you can sign online at http://www.arza.org.
