A Message From Our Rabbi
“Do we have to read the whole thing?”
I like to think of this as the
“fifth question” of the Passo-
ver Seder. It is fair enough,
and the answer is “no,” one
doesn’t have to do the full
monty. While one hopes and
dreams that people will want
to do as much as possible, it
is the case that abbreviations
are permitted (and I will re-
veal them to any interested
party.) A more difficult and challenging question is:
“Is it enough to read the whole thing?”
There are different metaphors we can use for the Hag-
gadah (and for our liturgy in general.) One metaphor
is the recipe. A recipe is a step-by-step directive that

promises a cake or at least celery sticks
with peanut butter to someone who will
faithfully follow all of the steps. It does
not assume any knowledge of chemistry or
any vision of the end product, only the
careful checking of boxes. If the Hagga-
dah is like a recipe, we can answer our
question in the affirmative and know that
if we fulfill all of the steps we sing in the
introduction, then we will be right where
we should be when we finish.
Another way of looking at our prayers is
as a tool box. The tool box makes de-
mands that the recipe does not: we have
to know how to use the tools, and we have
to have a sense of how each can be used to
create what we desire. Moreover, we need
a vision of what the end-state should look
like, and to be able therefore to use our
judgment as to which are the important
tools and which can be left in the box. We
would never evaluate a project as success-
ful because we “used all the tools.” In this
metaphor, reading the whole thing is
enough only if it gets us where we need to
go.
(Rabbi—continued from page 1)
You will find plenty of Jews embracing
either metaphor. I incline toward the
toolbox vision. I think that our liturgy
(which includes the Haggadah) is the
greatest tool developed by humanity for
talking to and about God. But it demands
discipline and creativity to accomplish its
end. I’m not sure liturgy does much for us
if we are not engaged, and a portion done
with knowledge and intention beats
“reading the whole thing” without a vi-
sion. Quality beats quantity.
The good news is that we are given all the
opportunity to practice that we could ever
want. There are parts of the Haggadah that
are unique to the evening, and there is no
substitute for reading over those ahead of
time (and attending classes offered by the
local synagogues!) But the bulk of the rit-
ual is composed of tools that we use every
Festival, every Shabbat, and even each
day. The workshop is always open.
From our family to yours, a sweet and ko-
sher Pesach!

About Werner Reich
Werner and his family were residents of Berlin when the Nazis came to power in
1933. His father, an engineer, lost his job soon thereafter, prompting the family to
move to Yugoslavia. This, however, was only a brief reprieve, as Nazi occupation
soon reached that country. When the terror campaign against the Jews escalated in
Yugoslavia, Werner’s mother placed him in hiding with several families. Unfortu-
nately, he was betrayed, arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned. Shortly thereaf-
ter, he was deported to Theresienstadt and then sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. When
the Soviet Army began approaching Auschwitz, Werner and tens of thousands of
other prisoners were forced onto a death march terminating at the Mauthausen
concentration camp. Werner was liberated in 1945 by American forces. After the
war, he returned briefly to Yugoslavia, and then went to England in 1947, where
he was trained as a pipefitter. He immigrated to the US in 1955 and eventually be-
came an engineer.
About John D’Aquila
John D’Aquila enlisted in the Army in 1943, trained as an infantry soldier, but lat-
er became a combat medic. As part of the 11th Armored Division, he fought in the
Battle of the Bulge with bayonet attached, as the soldiers expected hand-to-hand
combat. His division successfully protected the 101st Airborne Division at Ba-
stogne. In early 1945, he was one of the first American liberators to enter and lib-
erate Mauthausen.

JTS Receives Grants for Conservation of Rare Works and a Plan to Increase the Num-ber of Jewish Educators, and Introduces an iTunes U Launch
New Grants Support the Work of The JTS Library and The Davidson School The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary has received a $150,000 grant from the Da-vid Berg Foundation to support a two-year project to expand its capacity to lend illuminated manuscripts and other works to museums around the world. The grant will enable JTS to ac-cess the conservators and conservation materials necessary for these treasures to be pre-pared for travel and display. It will also make possible the creation of proper storage for The Library’s collection of ketubbot, some of which were exhibited at The Jewish Museum in 2011 (The Art of Matrimony: Thirty Splendid Marriage Contracts from The Jewish Theological Semi-nary Library.) JTS plans to loan the exhibit to venues across the country; due to the fragility of the materials, the collection may be displayed only once every two and a half years, and must be safely stored when not on display. The William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education of the Jewish Theological Semi-nary, the largest academic Jewish-education program outside of Israel, has received a grant from the AVI CHAI Foundation that will enable The Davidson School to work with consultants to produce a strategic business plan for increased institutional strength and sustainability that will ultimately result in an increased number of leaders in Jewish education. A team of higher-education experts from Eduventures and ALC Consulting, led by Abigail Callahan of ALC, has been selected to develop the strategic plan during the first half of 2012. They will work closely with Dr. Zachary Lasker, The Davidson School’s newly-appointed director of the Melton Re-search Center for Jewish Education and Education Projects. New JTS iTunes U Site JTS is pleased to announce the launch of the JTS iTunes U site. Accessible via Apple’s iTunes, this resource makes public lectures, Torah commentaries, and select courses availa-ble for free streaming and downloading. A wide variety of content is available, including the weekly Torah commentary podcasts and recordings of public lectures and events, such as the popular series of JTS Library Book Talks by JTS faculty and other authors. In the near future, full courses—complete with course materials—will be made available on the iTunes U site, providing further access to JTS’s world-class faculty and high-level Jewish learning.

The Mitzvah of Yahrzeit
By Terri Milligan
My mother, Sheila Schneider, died April 21,
1977. She was 35 years old, and I was 14.
When I look at these numbers, I realize that
the majority of my life has been spent with-
out her.
I’m not a particularly observant Jew, and
there are few, if any, rituals that I routinely
practice, but throughout the years I have
faithfully observed Yahrzeit. Originally this
dedication came about because I could not
bear the thought that my mother might be
somewhere waiting in vain to hear a loved
one say Kaddish. As I matured, I continued
to observe Yahrzeit for cathartic purposes. It
was important to me to acknowledge this
special woman who was only in my life for a
very short time, and it was significant that
my family and close friends had an oppor-
tunity to see me pay my respects to a person
whom most of them had never met.
Anyone who has ever lost someone close to
them knows the simple truth behind the ad-
age: “Time heals the pain.” It’s a myth. Time
does not heal the pain. The pain will always
be there. Time does, however, give us the re-
sources and the strength to flourish and pros-
per in spite of it all. Eventually, as everyday
life returns to the comforts of being routine
and familiar, the pain does take a secondary
place in one’s psyche and only surfaces on
occasion. In my opinion, if the good days far
exceed the bad days, then time has served its
purpose.
I always find myself in a melancholy state
every year around the end of April. I’ve
stopped trying to fight this feeling; I just ac-
cept it as a part of my annual cycle. Each
year I assure those near and dear to me that
this sullen disposition will pass, and it al-
ways does. For some reason, I found this
past year particularly difficult, and it was
compounded by the fact that the night I
wanted to say Kaddish was to be on the
same night as the Carlebach Kabbalat Shab-
bat service, an informal service that North
Shore Jewish Center was going to try.
It’s not that I don’t like trying new things. It
is just that observing Yahrzeit has become
such a ceremonial rite for me that I did not
want to share this very personal solemnity
with an experiment. So…I considered skip-
ping the service. After all, if the importance
of saying Kaddish was to evoke the
memory of a departed loved one, then my
obligation was complete. As I perfunctorily
dressed for synagogue, just in case I
changed my mind, my daughter asked if she
could come, and that was when I decided to
go.
At the beginning of the service, I com-
plained that I found sitting in a circle very
uncomfortable. Somewhere in between
“Lekhah Dodi” and the first recitation of
Kaddish, I discovered that I was enjoying
the service. I even paid attention to Rabbi’s
sermon, which he closed with a comment
about angels and mitzvahs. “Every time you
perform a mitzvah an angel appears at your
shoulder and presents itself in various
ways.” Later in the service, those of us ob-
serving Yahrzeit rose for the second Kad-
dish. Instead of reading the names off a me-
morial list, Rabbi Hoffman asked each of us
(Continued on next page)
Temple Israel of Riverhead 10 April 2012
to share the name of our loved one. I said
“Sheila Schneider” and for a brief moment
felt an ironic solace as her name resounded
throughout the now-familial circle.
As my daughter and I left the temple, a fel-
low congregant asked me to repeat the name
of the person for whom I had said Kaddish.
He wanted to know if it was the same Sheila
Schneider who taught Science at Commack
South High School. He told me that he be-
came certain that this was the same person
he once taught with when he saw the resem-
blance in my face as I spoke her name. I
knew this man! My mother often spoke of
him as she would revel in her descriptions of
her day at work. The last time I saw him or
any of her colleagues was at a dedication
ceremony at the high school a year after she
had passed away. He remembered the
wretched and harrowing funeral. He asked
about my father and my brother. I introduced
him to my daughter, Sheila. I told him that I
also was a high school teacher. We spoke for
ten or fifteen minutes at most, but those few
minutes will remain with me forever.
The following Sunday, I shared the entire
story with the rabbi. I told him that although
I had been reticent to attend the informal
service, I was very moved by the new
way of saying Kaddish. The rabbi ex-
plained that evoking the memory of a
loved one was only part of the reason
for observing Yahrzeit. There is a mys-
tical element to this ritual that most
people are unaware of. When we re-
cite Kaddish we are hoping to make a
spiritual and possibly physical connec-
tion with the departed. The rabbi then
added that the Carlebach Kabbalat
Shabbat service was not responsible
for the different way Kaddish had
been conducted. When it was time to
read off the names, he could not find
his list, so he improvised.
The events of the evening seem clear
to me now. I know how this will all fit
in my head and in my heart. I per-
formed a mitzvah by fulfilling my reli-
gious obligation to observe Yahrzeit.
An angel stood beside me that night,
and I made a connection.
“May His great Name grow exalted
and sanctified in the world that He
created as He willed…”

The “Updated” Story of Passover
Passover is approaching. At the seder table, every Jewish child will be retold the
story of Moses and the Pharaoh, and how God brought boils, locusts, hail and the
other plagues onto the Egyptians. Yet in spite of this overwhelming evidence of
God's intentions, Pharaoh refused to let the Jews go, until a tenth plague, the death
of the first-born children, was inflicted on every Egyptian home, passing over the
Jewish homes. Only after this tragedy did the Pharaoh relent and let the Jews leave
slavery and Egypt to begin their journey to the promised land.
This has been known for generations. What has not been known is why the Pharaoh,
in the face of such overwhelming evidence, would refuse to release the Jews after
the first nine plagues. It took eight years of research by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, the
renowned psychologist and nurse, to find the definitive answer. Dr. Kubler-Ross
spent those years studying the Dead Sea Scrolls before discovering the answer. And
once found, it was obvious.....The Pharaoh was still in de Nile.
