Rabbi’s Message

Congratulations to Rabbi Goodman March 14th Installation. . . . I hope that you will join us at the temple on Wednesday Evening, March 14th, when I will have the honor of being installed as President of the New York Board of Rabbis. While I am a proud member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the professional body of the North American Reform Rabbinate, the New York Board of Rabbis is a bit different. It is a rabbinic organization within the New York Metropolitan Area, com-prised of rabbis from the Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, and Reconstruction-ist communities, and additional affiliations. The NYBR is devoted to K’lal Yisrael, the Jewish People as a whole, and provides opportunities for rabbis of different denominations to come together for continuing education, and per-sonal and professional growth. With its oversight of NY area chaplaincies, the NYBR provides the Jewish community with the highest level of professional

pastoral care, counseling, and chaplaincy in healthcare, behavioral health, long-term care, correctional, and other communal service settings. As you know, our congregational family contributes generously each year to the Passover Appeal conducted by the NYBR. The NYBR also advocates for Israel and other Jewish commu-nities, nationally and around the world, and also works with other faith communities to promote increased un-derstanding, and pursue avenues of common concern. While our members hold widely divergent views on a number ideological and political issues, somehow we manage to stay together as a cohesive group, committed to the belief that in unity there is strength. Founding of the NYBR. . . . The NYBR was founded in 1881 by a group of six prominent New York rabbis: Rabbis Gustav Gottheil, Adolph Huebsch, Henry S. Jacobs, Kaufmann Kohler, F. de Sola Mendes and H. Pereira Mendes. Their intent was to enhance Jewish education, and advance Judaism among all segments of the rapidly growing Jewish community of New York. The Board’s membership now includes some 700 rabbis of different denominations from all over the New York Metropolitan Area and beyond, and maintains close working relationships with the NYPD and the FDNY. It is a highly respected organization, to which I am proud to belong, and I am grateful that our congregation has supported my participation all these years. Celebrating two “firsts” . . . . This installation will not only be an honor for me, but also will mark the first time in the 131-year history of the NYBR that a woman will assume the presidency. But, in fact, the evening will be a double honor for all of us, because our keynote speaker will be Rabbi Sally J. Priesand, Rabbi Emerita of the Monmouth Reform Temple of Tinton Falls, NJ. This year, 2012, marks the fortieth anniversary of Rabbi Priesand’s ordination, the first woman in history to realize this dream. Thus she is not only my col-league and my friend, she is also my hero, and the person to whom my colleagues and I, and all of us, owe so very much. Additional guests . . . . Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, Executive Vice President of the Board, will preside over the event, at which we will welcome several local political leaders, and the FDNY's Emerald Society Pipes and Drums. Student Cantor Lauren Phillips and Temple Musician Shinae Kim will be joined by Cantor Joshua Breitzer, Cantor Maria Dubinsky, Student Cantor Lev Hawley, Cantor Todd Kipnis, Student Cantor Sarah Krevsky, Cantor Kerith Shapiro, our beloved Pedro d’Aquino, violinist Joshua Pollack and clarinetist Ivan Barenboim. Our congregation will host a dessert reception in the social hall following the cere-mony. Lots of hoopla. I hope you will join us. -Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

Officer’s Column

The Song of Union Temple In this issue each year we typically say that the long winter is almost over and we look forward to the begin-ning of spring activities. But this year, what happened to the long winter? Well, regardless of whether winter wants to visit this year, spring is coming anyway and that means a busy, busy March at Union Temple. We hope you will all be joining with us for some or all of the upcoming events featured in this Bulletin. The fes-tivities begin with Shabbat Across American on March 2nd. Next comes our always fun Purim dinner cele-bration March 7th. That is followed by our tribute to Marianne Dreyfus on March 9th, as she leaves New York to be with her family. The Purim carnival for our kids is March 11th. Then on March 14th, we are very proud to host Rabbi Goodman’s installation as President of the New York Board of Rab-bis. Join the Rabbi as she ac-cepts this great honor. We hope many of you will join us for the ever popular Fourth Friday on March 23rd, when we will be entertained by our talented members Mollie and Jesse Miller. That is followed soon after by the Cocktail Reception fundraiser for our wonderful re-cent past-President, Doris Klueger, on March 25th. After all the work Doris has done for the Temple please make that a priority on your March calen-dar. Finally, we end the month with Brotherhood Shabbat on March 31st. The officers want to remind eve-ryone in the Congregation that we are focusing efforts on mem-bership and we need your help. Please bring friends to services and events. Purim is a great time to start. Also, we need to improve our outreach, so if you have a little time and some skills, we need bloggers to get the word out. Please call John Golomb to volunteer. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible throughout March.

-Jeffrey Stein, Vice President

“SHABBAT ACROSS AMERICA” FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012

We’ll begin with a snack in our lobby at 6 PM Family Shabbat Service at 6:30 PM

followed by a pot luck dinner.

Call the office 718-638-7600 or email us at uniontemple@uniontemple.org

Music by Student Cantor Lauren Phillips & Song Leader Josh Adland

Please bring a salad, main dish or side, or dessert to share. To comply with the Shabbat Across America national effort,

we ask that you bring only DAIRY OR VEGETARIAN food. Please do not bring anything containing meat or poultry, or anything made with chicken or beef stock.

Your cooperation is most sincerely appreciated.

Passover Appeal In my article on page 2, I mentioned some of the specifics of the work of the New York Board of Rabbis. As you know, one of the most outstanding projects of the Board is the Annual Passover Appeal. The Board conducts this appeal in order to buy Passover food and supplies for thou-sands of our Jewish sisters and brothers in the New York Metropolitan area who are alone or institutionalized, in want, and in need. It grows out of the long-standing tradition of ma’ot chit-tin. The way that this mitzvah was conducted historically is that the elders of the community would go around collecting for a fund to buy wheat with which to bake matzah. The rules of the fund were simple: those who needed to avail themselves of it took from it; those who did not need it gave to it. Each year as a congregation, along with our sister congregations in New York, we at Union Temple have contin-ued this tradition of ma’ot chittin by responding to this appeal with overwhelming kindness and generosity. I hope that this year will be no exception. This year, since Passover occurs very early in April (the first Seder night is Friday, April 6th), it seems prudent for us at the temple to begin collecting for the appeal at this time so that we can have it pretty much completed by the end of this month. As we have done each year, we ask you to make out a check, for whatever amount you are comfortable with, to “Union Temple,” and earmark it “Passover Appeal.” Please send it to the Union Temple Office at 17 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238. We then will put together collective checks for the NYBR and the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty. And as always, we thank you most sincerely for your kind participation in this appeal, and thus the fulfillment of the mitzvah of Tzedakah, so integral a part of our Passover celebration. On behalf of all my colleagues, and those who are the recipients of this appeal, I thank you in advance for your kindness in supporting and contributing to this very worthy cause.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

Shalom! The past couple of weeks have been quiet at Union Temple Religious School as students have been on break for the latter half of February. However, we are now in the month of Adar, the season of happiness, and Purim is upon us! This year’s Purim carnival on March 11th promises to be a delightful and spirited celebration of this joyous holiday, and all families are encouraged to put on a costume, grab a grogger, and have fun as an entire Religious School community! But of course, the celebration of Purim reminds us that Passover is only a few weeks away. Our Model Seder will be held on April 1st, and again, I invite all families to come participate. There seems to be little substantive connection be-tween these two holidays aside from their closeness on the calendar. Purim is a full-community occasion in which we dress up in costume and read from a special scroll (the book of Esther); Passover is often celebrated in the home with a liturgical (often embel-lished) recitation of the biblical story of the exodus. The Purim story focuses on human heroes and vil-lains; Passover pits the god-like Pharaoh against the Eternal God of the People of Israel. And Purim deli-cacies include delicious cookies; at Passover, we’re often suspicious of baked goods!

However, both holidays share at least one important factor in common: They celebrate the liberation of the Jewish people. Purim recalls the triumph of the Jews over Haman and their flourishing throughout Persia, and Passover commemorates emancipation from slavery in Egypt. These holidays remind us to be grateful for our precious gift of freedom, and I hope you’ll join the Religious School in honoring these sacred occasions in the upcoming weeks. Chagim s’meichim. Happy holidays, -Daniel Kirzane, Educator

Preschool

Can Spring be Far Behind? On a February morning when the temperature hovered around freezing we celebrated Tu'B'Shevat, the birth-day of trees. Rabbi Goodman led a "mini seder" in the big room. We tasted fruits with a peel (Clementine oranges), fruits with a pit (dates and apricots), and fruits that are entirely edible (raisins). We drank white and red grape juice, which symbolize the winter and summer. Mixing the two represents the shades of au-tumn and spring that lie between. When we were done munching we all joined together to sing and dance and stomp our feet. Leading up our school wide celebration all of our pre-schoolers read lots of books about trees, including, The Giving Tree, A Tree is Nice, The Tree Book, Sammy the Spider's First Tu'B' Shevat, and, A Busy Year. They created lots of beautiful tree-related art pro-jects; water color and cray pas relief trees, stenciled trees with water color, and a beautiful curly willow decorated

with cut out flowers. Hopefully the ground hog has gotten it wrong and spring is a whisper away. We are currently ac-cepting applications for summer camp. Our summer program runs from June 11th through July 27th. The half day is 9 AM-12:30 PM. and the full day 9:-3 PM. If you would like to receive more information or would like to sign-up your child for our summer pro-gram you can email us at krista@utpreschool.org. -Susan Sporer, Preschool Director

If you’ve been reading the Bulletin this month, and especially the calendar, you know that the temple has it’s own version of “March Madness” - a whole month jam packed with a lot of great events. Brotherhood is honored to cap off the month with the Brotherhood service and luncheon on March 31st.

This year's Brotherhood Shabbat will be a special one for a few reasons. We'll have a speaker, Rabbi Dennis Ross, author of a new book All Politics Is Religious. Rabbi Ross directs Con-cerned Clergy for Choice, an interfaith reproductive rights advocacy network of 1000 clergy. A project of the Education Fund of Family Planning Advocates of New York State, Concerned Clergy for Choice has earned national recognition for its advocacy and media work during the national health care reform debate and as Congress considered defunding Planned Parenthood. Concerned Clergy for Choice also contrib-uted a critical measure of faith-based support as New York State recently established marriage equality and as New York State legalized marriage equality for same-gender couples.

It is also Shabbat HaGadol, the Sabbath preceding Passover, with a special reading from the prophet Malachi (who among other things predicts a visit by the prophet Elijah!)

Please join brotherhood for this very special Shabbat.

-David Rapheal, Secretary

"Give me your tired, your poor/ Your huddled masses yearning to be free…." We all know these beautiful words that are inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, and every Jew is proud of Emma Lazarus, the poet who wrote them. But how much do we really know about this fourth-generation American Sephardic Jew? Did you know that she devoted years of her short life (she died in 1887 at age 38) to pleading the cause of destitute Jewish immigrants and to working to help them better themselves? Did you know that she was ad-vocating for a Jewish homeland more that a decade before Theodor Herzl took up the cause? In conjunction with the 125th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, the Museum of Jewish Heri-tage is presenting a comprehensive show devoted to Emma Lazarus. Join us in the museum's lobby at 6 PM, Wednesday, March 21st, to tour this remarkable exhibit. Admission to the museum is free Wednesday evenings from 4 PM to 8 PM, so you may want to come early to visit some of the other exhibits on your own and have a nosh in the Heritage Café, then meet us at six for our Emma Lazarus tour. All are welcome, and we know no one will want to miss what promises to be an unforgettable, inspirational evening. The Museum of Jewish Heritage is located at 36 Battery Place, and is easily accessible by subway: You can take the #4 train or #5 train to Bowling Green; the R train to Rector Street or Whitehall Street; or the #1 train to Rector Street or South Ferry. To reserve your place, please call trip coordinator Gail Levine Fried, Ph.D.: 718-338-6123. Were you with us on Sunday, February 12th, for our program on Jews and Chocolate? If you were, we know that you are still licking your fingers in delight over all you learned and all you the goodies you sampled. We thank our special guest, New York University's culinary historian Eve Jochnowitz, "The Chocolate Lady," for her fascinating and delectable presentation.

Sisterhood wishes everyone a happy Purim. May the courage of Esther bless and light our path through life.

Thank You to the Donors to the Union Temple Yom Kippur Appeal

Union Temple has formed an exciting partnership with The PJ Library, an award-winning Jewish family en-gagement program created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. The PJ Library offers free, high-quality Jewish books and music to families raising Jewish chil-dren ages six months through eight years. Harold Grin-spoon, a successful real estate entrepreneur, was inspired by Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to create PJ Li-brary as a way to strengthen the identities of Jewish families and to serve as an outreach vehicle for syna-gogues and Jewish organizations. We are fortunate to be the first PJ Library program in Brownstone Brooklyn!

The PJ Library Program at Union Temple launched in November 2011 with a goal of signing up 200 children. We quickly exceeded that and have almost reached our new goal of 300 children -- in just 3 months! Our kick-off event was a Chanukah Concert in December, featur-ing a puppet show and singalong with Ora Fruchter, the talented sister of our beloved Yoshie, and her Yellow

Sneaker colleagues. About 30 families enjoyed singing, dancing, munching on sufganyot, and gathering to-gether to celebrate the holiday.

Check your mailboxes in the next month for a mailing from PJ Library, with a free sample book and informa-tion on how to sign up. Please pass this packet on to any friends or family members with young children who could benefit from this gift. It’s a wonderful way for parents to introduce their children to the rich array of Jewish traditions, values and customs in a fun and age-appropriate way.

Our next steps are to invite PJ Library families to learn about Union Temple and find ways to engage them in our community. To that end, we are planning a Pajama Party on Sunday, April 1 from 4:00-6:00pm at the Temple. We need volunteers to help make this event a big success! If you are interested, please email Kimberly Lisi at Kimberly@utpreschool.org.

Benjamin Segal Son of David and Beatrice Segal

Benjamin Segal is in the 8th grade at PS 207 Fillmore Academy and in his fourth year at Union Temple Sunday School. He loves listening to music and playing the alto sax and piano. Last De-cember he had a wonderful solo during his school's jazz band concert. His favorite

activity is playing with his dog and his various video games. He loves to make animations, sculptures, and to write fiction stories, especially ones with horror. He re-cently joined the temple youth group and is looking for-ward to more volunteer work. Despite all these activi-ties, he still finds time to do his homework and complain about school.

We wish Benjamin and his parents, David and Beatrice, a hearty Mazal Tov.
