Jewish Earth Day

Ecology, spirituality, and appreciation of nature all come together in Tu BiShvat, the Jewish “Earth Day.” Occurring on February 4 this year, it’s a time for planting trees in Israel and our communities. More than this: It’s an occasion to focus on the environment’s well-being and our care of the earth.

Judaism’s been concerned with this for thousands of years—since biblical times. A Jewish legend relates that soon after God created the world, God acted as a tour guide to Adam and Eve—walking them through the Garden of Eden and pointing out the beauty and wonder of all the trees, plants, streams, birds, and animals. Adam and Eve were duly impressed and appreciative. At the end of the tour, God said to them with great love and concern, “Please take good care of the beautiful world I have given you. If you do not care for it properly, there will be none after you to repair the damage.”

Like Adam and Eve, we are indeed the stewards and caretakers of the earth, water, and air of our world. Each one of us plays an important role in the preservation of our planet. The rabbis of the Talmud went so far as to deduce a mitzvah of bal tashchit from the Torah; that is, we are not to be wasteful or destructive of natural resources. The mitzvah of bal tashchit guides us to keep our air and water as clean and free from pollution as possible, to keep our forests populated and abundant, and to preserve ecosystems, protecting the many species of plant and animal life from human destruction.

Temple Sinai has been unequivocally fulfilling the mitzvah of bal taschit for over three years now, with the installation of 125 solar panels that significantly reduce our carbon footprint and energy consumption (up to 50%). It’s part of our ongoing efforts as a temple community to tend and care for this wondrous world God’s given us.

Come celebrate the natural world this month and the abundance of blessings it provides. Please join us on Friday, February 6, at 6:00 p.m. at Temple Sinai to celebrate Tu BiShvat, nature and its annual renewal with a creative Jewish seder modeled after the Passover seder. We will eat fruits and nuts that grow in the land of Israel, share dinner together, and tell stories and sing songs about nature and Judaism at our “New Year for Trees”—our “Jewish Earth Day.”

the Cantor’s Voice

by Cantor Steve Hummel

The B’nai Mitzvah Soundtrack

The most essential bar mitzvah training tool has always been the audio recording. It’s vital that we teach our students to read Hebrew. Without the ability to actually read Hebrew, our children would stand on the bimah “guessing” words which they hope they have memorized. And, integral to the acquisition of any language and the ability to read is familiarity with the spoken - or sung - word. Hearing the words said and sung and chanted properly creates a depth of understanding and a context for the words on the page. Hearing the words instructs a student how to say the words. We each learned our first language as babies by using our ears, by hearing words. Even as adults, our ears are the gateway to language skills.

When my cousin had his bar mitzvah in 1972, his cantor provided him with a recording of his Torah portion on vinyl. 33 rpm. In 1982, my cantor recorded my torah portion for me on a cassette tape. In 1998 I was making cassette tapes for my students. In 2002 I started burning CD’s for my students, but also employed cassette tapes as an option. By 2008, I was sending mp3’s of prayers to students’ email addresses through the internet, and still using cassette tapes for Torah portions. Then came the iPhone, and I began recording Torah portions on that magical little

device, and texting those audio files to my students. They could access the files directly on their iPhones and iPod Touches anywhere they might be. In fact, by 2010, I realized I could no longer realistically expect a family to go out and purchase an audio cassette player for their 12 year old. I still have a cassette player on my office shelf, hoping that it might get used again someday.

In 2015 I’m still texting Torah portions to my students, but have discovered a new, innovative way to teach prayers to students using technology they understand. The theory is simple: Kids love screens. My prayer lessons are posted online atwww.showme.com/steve-hummel. TSG b’nai mitzvah students visit that site daily for interactive, audio-visual tutorials that teach the melodies and pronunciations of our prayers. The results have been impressive. During the last 8 months in which I have been making online tutorials, I have seen marked improvement in our b’nai mitzvah students.

It’s unclear what technology will come next, but I can hardly wait to see what it might be.

L’ Shalom,

Measure twice – cut once

When I was in elementary school, my mother taught me how to sew. It turned out to be an invaluable life lesson. Learning to sew meant that I could make my own dresses for school. Yes, in those days girls had to wear dresses. I wanted to have a larger variety of dresses than my sisters who did not want to take the time to sew theirs. I was always so anxious to finish my newest creation that I would invariably put a pocket on upside down or sew a seam inside out. I would then have to take out my trusty seam ripper and sit down with the family in front of the TV and begin pulling it apart to be re-sewn. I honestly didn’t think anyone really noticed that I was making so many mistakes, until one night my mom turned to me and said, “You are the most patient sewer I have ever met.”

Nothing could have been further from the truth. It was because of my impatience that I was making all those mistakes. But I was stubborn and would never just walk away from a project. Instead, I learned to take a deep breath, regroup and move forward.

Fast forward XX years. In many ways I’m still that person wanting to get things done now, but realizing that getting the finished product done right was more important than getting it done fast. At the High Holy Day appeal, I announced my dream of renovating the classrooms this coming summer. That was an aggressive timeline and I knew that, but I felt the work was long overdue. As it turns out, there is a lot more than just the classrooms with work long overdue and the scope of our project has expanded.

In January, Mike Simon, Mark Fabulich and I presented to the Board of Directors the proposed scope of work. We had worked with an outside architect and contractor to take a close look at our building and equipment to give us a realistic view

of what needed to be done to not only improve the comfort and aesthetics, but to increase the safety and security for our children. We concentrated on four key areas of our Temple: The south hallway and classrooms, the old custodial suite and bathroom, the parking lot and side entrance, and the north hallway. All these areas are in desperate need of repair and improvement.

I will not go into all the details in this message. I promise you will receive detailed information as we move forward. And we will continue to move forward. The board was very encouraging and gave us permission to form a committee to determine the feasibility of raising the funds needed for this capital campaign. This is no small task, so we spent the next few weeks taking deep breaths and talking with people in our community with experience in capital campaigns….thank you Dan and Debbie Heller for all your wisdom, support and multiple binders from the “Project 5758-Sanctuary Remodel.” Several of us have also talked with other congregations to find out what

Celebrate your family’s simchahs and help the Sisterhood sponsor onegs by donating to the Simcha Fund in any amount for any reason. Your name will be announced as a Simcha Fund donor when the Sisterhood next sponsors an oneg, and here in The Scribe. On your check, please specify the simchah reason, make the check payable to Temple Sinai Sisterhood, and send the check to the Temple Sinai office, separate from any other donation.

When an oneg has no sponsor, the Sisterhood pays for it, with the help of the Simcha Fund. Temple Sinai members are encouraged to sponsor an oneg or donate to the Simcha Fund to assist the Sisterhood in supporting our temple’s many worthy causes. It is very easy to sponsor an oneg, and it need not be expensive nor difficult. Please consider becoming a sponsor. It is a mitzvah.

Happy new year! Here’s wishing you all have a safe, happy and healthy 2015. Even though we are getting into February (already!), I have to share with you how much fun December 24th was at TSG. We all had a great time eating Chinese food and watching ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. It is such a fun movie! Thank you to Marc and Tina Lowenthal for providing the movie. Thank you to Phillip, Susan and Andrew Hain for getting some of the best Chinese food ever and serving it up beautifully. Thank you to Marc Lavender for being a very patient projectionist. I’m already looking forward, with great anticipation, to December 24, 2015 to do it all over again; of course, with a different movie on the ‘marquee’! I’m making a very strong suggestion here... if you didn’t join us last year I truly suggest you do so this year. It’s THE place to be!

We have some people in our Sisterhood that we are honoring.

Flo Cohen was nominated (and rightly so) to be the Women’s Forum Honoree from TSG at the Jewish Federation’s luncheon on March 24. Flo is also an Area Director for Women of Reform Judaism. I was an Area Director when I joined Temple Sinai. When my term ended, Flo was nominated and chosen to be an Area Director. It is a great honor and a position that Flo is extremely good at. We are very proud of our Flo. She was a wonderful Sisterhood president and is now a great Area Director. (And an ongoing mentor to me, as well!)

As of January 2015 we are proudly 87 women strong! Thank you to Barak for putting our list together. If you haven’t joined Sisterhood or you have any questions, call me. Without you, we truly are one woman short!

B’Shalom!Doreen Hawbecker

Night of the Round Tableby Larry Moskowitz

Despite a light turnout at the Brotherhood meeting on the evening of January 13, Craig Schweon, Seth Chazanoff, George Lowe and Larry Moskowitz got a lot accomplished.

The first order of business was the March 15 bowling party at Jewel City Bowl. We voted unanimously in favor of subsidizing the congregation’s participation in the event as a goodwill gesture. Brotherhood will cover $11 or $13 of the $23 cost for each adult and each child who bowls, respectively. Thus, each adult can enjoy two hours of bowling, shoe rental and pizza, salad and soft drinks for $12; each child under 13 for $10. Larry will generate a flyer for the Scribe and for Barak’s e-blast to promote the event. With an estimated 20 people attending, the cost to Brotherhood will be about $260.

The scotch tasting evening planned for March 28 will be at the Lowe’s residence. Brotherhood members are encouraged to bring their significant others. This way there will be designated drivers to get the gentlemen home, and Stephanie will enjoy some female companionship during the evening. We’re hoping to form a three-man committee to plan and organize the event.

The idea of a Brotherhood Friday Shabbat is still alive. We would like to hold it during a service when Rabbi and Cantor are both present. Roger Baar is willing to design the service but naturally requires reasonably timely notice. We will consult with Rabbi Rick to move this project along.

Marc Lavender is handling the Yom HaShoah candles. Seth is in the process of obtaining a speaker, preferably a survivor, for the Yom HaShoah program planned for April 12. As a future alternative to a speaker, we discussed the possibility of showing a documentary film, such as Claude Lanzmann’s 1985 film, SHOAH. But we’ll stay with speakers as long as it’s feasible before going to film.

Responding to a request from the Membership Committee to help pay for food for the new member BBQ planned for February 27, Brotherhood will match Sisterhood’s contribution, up to $250. Seth will attend the BBQ and make a brief pitch to the new members to encourage the men to join Brotherhood.

Responding to a request from the Nominating Committee, George Lowe volunteered to serve on the committee as a Brotherhood representative.

Brotherhood is considering getting a group together to attend a screening on Sunday, February 8 of the film, Above and Beyond. In 1948, a group of

World War II pilots volunteered to fight for Israel in the War of Independence. Above and Beyond is a feature-length documentary, produced by Nancy Spielberg and

directed by Roberta Grossman that chronicles this story. The film will have a limited engagement at the Laemmle Town Center 5 theater in Encino from February 6 through 12. Showtime information will be available Tuesday, Feb 3 at 7 pm when tickets go on sale.

We’re having fun now! Please join us at our next meeting, Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 7:30 pm, when Bill Peters will reign as Brotherhood president pro-tem.

With the expert help of Marty Sharkey, Phillip Hain and Matt Brownstein, we are in the process of putting together our campaign materials. As that progresses, we will begin our strategy for rolling the project out to the congregation. Additional

committees will be formed. We will need people to work on design, construction, budget and finance, grants, fundraising, donor recognition, communications and marketing. It is my goal that every member of our congregation becomes actively involved in some aspect of improving our synagogue.

We all have talents and opinions we can bring to help in this endeavor. Let’s all work together to make sure the work we do will be a perfect fit for us, now and for the generations to come. L’dor Vador, from generation to generation.

What's Nu -2?Sinai Seniors Tour of LA MOTH

by Ilena Blicker

On a beautiful Sunday morning, January 18, 21 Temple Sinai members and friends began a tour of the LA Museum of the Holocaust. Lest you think they were all seniors, quite a few were below that age group and one young man definitely lowered the median age. At 6 months old, he quietly listened and looked at our docent, while being held by his father. We were doubly delighted to learn that our docent was Eric Roberts, father of Temple member Suzanne Roberts. Hearing his story of how his family left Germany and what they had to go through to do so was captivating. Luckily his family was able

to leave prior to the mass Jewish round ups by the Nazis. After the actual tour we were privileged to hear a talk by Holocaust survivor, Bob Geminder.

Some of you may remember him as he spoke to us at our Yom HaShoah service many years ago. His tale of living through the Shoah was amazing. We all wonder if we could have acted with as much courage as his mother did in those circumstances. No question, he, his mother and brother had a guardian angel with them.

Even though many of us were familiar with the events leading to the rise of Nazism and the increasing anti-Semitic laws, demonstration, looting and worse, seeing them in the context of a well laid out exhibit brought it to the forefront. The statistics of the Jewish ghettos and small towns that were decimated by the onslaught of the German Army and particularly the SS along with pictures of some the inhabitants struck us in a way that became more personal. For some in the group we saw the pictures of the towns in those areas that our own families had lived in before this unfathomable disaster.

The numbers remain staggering, 6 million Jews as well as 5 million others considered non-essential, the physically or mentally handicapped, Roma (Gypsy),

homosexuals and other minorities that did not fit into the Nazi ideal. One room was dedicated to those who in spite of the sword of death that hung over them and their families if they helped did all that they could to save Jewish lives.

One thing that was clearly evident that morning was the large number of several groups who were not Jewish touring the Museum. We hope that this Museum exhibit has imparted to them that “Never Again” is something that everyone, not just Jews, needs to take to heart. To remember that we are all betzelem Elohim, in the image of God.

Journey Through the Bible - Session III

Was Saul, the reluctant first king of Israel, treated unfairly by Samuel? Was God being too cruel when he commanded Saul, through Samuel, to

attack the Amalekites and kill every man, woman, child and animal? Did Samuel really speak for God?

These and other provocative questions were raised and discussed during Rabbi Rick’s third Journey Through the Bible session held Sunday, January

11. We learned how Saul disappointed God and lost favor with Him because he did not exterminate all the Amalekite livestock. To make matters worse, Saul allowed Amalekite King Agog to live, thereby forcing Samuel to kill Agog himself. Strong stuff.

We only briefly met David but will delve more deeply into his story and Saul’s continuing tragic downfall when Rabbi Rick’s next Journey Through the Bible session meets Sunday, February 8 at 10:00 am. It promises to be an fascinating hour and a half as we explore more of this original, biblical “Game of Thrones.”

Sisterhood Shabbat Serviceuuy vhshc ck ,nfj vat kfu

“And all the skilled women spun with their own hands” - on Friday, March 13 we will read these words from Vayakel during a very special Sisterhood Shabbat service. This is one of the Torah portions describing the donations for the Tabernacle and features the contributions of the women. In ancient Israel, the women were skilled in many things, midwives, musicians and most importantly for this parashah in making textiles, cloths and hangings. After the service, which has been specially written for this Shabbat, there will be an exhibit of crafts and art work with a Jewish theme that have been made by women in our Sisterhood.

If you are a woman member of Sisterhood (we do have some men whoare members) and have made quilts or tallit, paintings or paper cuttingsamong other arts and crafts that in some way reflect a Jewish theme andwould like to be part of this exhibit, please contact Ilena Blicker [email protected]. Please send a photo of what you will exhibitand approximate size so that we can plan on how to display it.

Bee Seasonby

Myla GoldbergYou’re Saul Naumann, a scholar and cantor who longs to

discover the mystical states of Kabbalah. You take pride in your son’s brilliance but are discouraged by your daughter’s lack of interest. The Naumann family’s life changes abruptly when Eliza, the indifferent nine year old daughter wins the school spelling bee. Her change and the change in each of her parents and brother are the crux of this novel. For her father, she becomes his hope, for her mother, a secret vice and madness follows and for her brother, his loss of attention from his father sends him on a quest. Their longings, interactions and the coming of age of Eliza will entrance you.

For Monday, March 9, 2015

Love & Treasureby

Ayelet WaldmanA story that spans seventy years from the time American

soldiers come upon a train filled with items looted by Nazis- jewelry, art work, wedding rings, Shabbat candlesticks to modern day. From the story of Jack Wiseman and a beautiful woman he meets to his granddaughter Natalie charged with returning a locket to its original owner, you’ll be entranced. Named a Washington Post Best Book, Ayelet Waldman has spun a tale of love and treasure and its effect on those near it.
