A Message From Rabbi Felipe Goodman The Virtue of Envy In past generations there was a popular exercise among some students of the Bible to criticize it and deny its historicity. Cynics recommended that it should not be placed in the hands of children, since it describes conduct which reflects greed and immorality. These crit-ics did not understand that the Bible is not a book which describes perfect people. It describes ordinary people, weak and sinful, who made mistakes. Relating the deeds of these men and women indicates that through faith in God, even the lowliest persons could reform their lives. Repentance makes it possible for people to become better human beings. The synagogue is not a place in which perfect people gather in self-righteous appreciation of each other. We come to the synagogue because we recognize our weaknesses and feel we need strength. We know we are not pcrfect; we come in order to find guidance and inspiration to improve our lives. The Torah deals with envy, which can lead people to destructive paths. The Ten Commandments warn against envy: "Thou shalt not covet," you must not want that which docs not belong to you. The Bible presents a story which indicates how far jealousy can go. The patriarch Isaac had neighbors who were not very friendly. The origin of this hostility is described in one verse. "And he had flocks of sheep, (locks of cattle and many servants, and the Philistines were jealous of him." (Genesis 26:4) This envy led to hostility. The Philistines stopped up the wells of water that Isaac possessed. In a dry country life depends on water. They destroyed the source of life. Their jealousy did not permit them to look kindly on the prosperity of Isaac. We all agree that jealousy is evil, yet we suffer from it. Even though we try to suppress the "green-eyed monster" we often begrudge others their good fortune and the blessings which they enjoy. Our sages pointed out that jealousy need not be a curse. If it is used properly, it can become a blessing. The Talmud quotes the maxim: "The jealousy of scholars increases wisdom." We might call this constructive jealously. If a scholar observes that a colleague discovered something important, his envy may spur him to study harder. Envy can be recycled from destructive to constructive efforts. In fact, one of the ancient scholars observed that "without jealousy the world could not exist." Envy induces people to work hard, to improve their homes, and to be creative. The very desire to surpass others, if it is held in check and disciplined, can actually become a blessing to the world. The Philistines could have satisfied their envy in another way. They could have dug wells of their own to have more water. Their jealousy did not have to destroy. We have to harness our weaknesses to the higher aims of life. We have a natural tendency to surpass our neighbor. There are two ways in which we can be higher: one way is to push him down and another way is to climb, not at the cost of pushing our neighbor down. Many people try to enhance their own worth by tearing down others. The gossip monger is guilty of this, passing on bad news about other people. What is the psychological motivation? The gossiper relates scandal. By lowering the other person he subconsciously implies that he lives on a higher level. There are two ways in which we can be higher: one way is to push him down and another way is to climb, not at the cost of pushing our neighbor down. Many fail to see that competition among world powers need not be in terms of weapons of destruction. Our nations can compete on a constructive basis. We need not count guns, atom bombs and tanks. We can weigh the amount of bread that is provided to citizens. Who lives better? Who has better schools? Which system produces more happiness? If there is to be rivalry in the world let it not be a rivalry of destruction. Peaceful rivalry can be one of the most constructive forces in the world. We can observe this theory in action in the field of medicine. Scientists have made tremendous strides in bringing healing to the world. This is because they have developed a rivalry that is not destructive. New discoveries quickly become the possession of the entire world. What is learned in Moscow, Berlin, Paris, London, New York or Chicago is disseminated to all people. The reward is the pride that a country feels when its citizens bring benefits to mankind. If we can compete in doing good, we can build a world in which jealousy would be constructive and beneficial. There is one field in which this rivalry has not yet been tried. It is the field of religion. In the past 2,000 years there have been hostilities and warfare caused by religion. There is a sad record of religious wars. Catholics used force against heretics. Moslems fought with Christians. Christians persecuted Jews. Catholics fought against Protestants. There is an ugly record of a rivalry between religions that resulted in wars and persecution. Even today there is much ill-will between religious groups. The paradox is that in defense of religion we destroy what it teaches. Berthold Lessing was a friend of Moses Mendelsohn, the great Jewish teacher of Germany. Lessing wrote a book called Nathan, the Wise. In it he deals with the problems of the competition between religions. The proponents of each religion claim to possess the truth. How is one to know which is the true religion? Nathan tells a story in response to that question. There was once a nobleman who had inherited a beautiful ring from his father. It was handed down from generation to generation. Each father gave it to his most deserving son and it brought favor in the eyes of man and God. The ring went from father to son for generations until it came to one man who had three sons. The father tried to pick one who was worthy of wearing the ring, but he could not make up his mind since they were all worthy. In desperation he called in a jeweler and asked him to make two more rings that are so identical to the original that even he could not identify it. The jeweler made the rings so skillfully that no one could tell them apart. Then the father gave each son a ring. When he died the family gathered and the three sons displayed their rings. They were puzzled and wanted to know who had the genuine one. They decided to go to a judge and each son declared that his father had presented the authentic ring to him. The judge examined the rings and saw that they were absolutely identical. He declared that no one can tell which is the genuine ring. There is only one way of knowing. The son who lives the best and the noblest has the genuine ring. Each religion claims that it has the truth. It can prove to be genuine by showing how its adherents live. The world will know which one is telling the truth. This is the challenge to all of us. We do not have to quarrel about politics, religion or personal life. We need not tear each other down in envy and rivalry. We can demonstrate the truth of our convictions by our conduct. No man can live without some semblance of envy and without engaging in competition. Let there be competition in goodness, charity and human welfare. 2 A Message From Sandy Mallin, TBS President There is no doubt about it. I am certain that these past months have been as reward-ing to you, the congregation, as they have been to me. Together we experienced the dedication of the Fanny and Joseph Goldberg School building, the Lawrence A. Scully Library, our moving Temple dedication, Sharon E. Sigcsmund Sanctuary dedication and the dedication of the Judy and Ronald Mack School of Religious Studies. Our High Holiday Services were held in the new Synagogue just as we planned. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Shelley Carroll and her High Holy Days Committee, the Men's Club with Irwin Goldberg and Jerry Katz for organizing the Ushers, (they were the best yet) and Steve Saxe, the Ritual Chairman and our Gabbaim, Ruth Goldbfarb, Morris Golden and Mort Karsh. Honorable mention must go to our capable staff, Charlene Herst, Director of Operations, Louise Appcnzcllcr, Helene Rosen, Loric Stowers, Patrick Pittman, David McDonald, Dunbar Temple Beth Sholom is a welcoming and caring congregation. Lawhorn, Jr. and Jon Jensen. We welcome Cantor Daniel Friedman to our congregation and look for-ward to him bringing his talent and personality to services and activities. Visit our schools, meet with Deborah Jensen and Jacob Raijman. See all they arc accomplishing with our children. Everything is coming together at TBS. Mona Silverman and the Membership and Fundraising Committees are breaking records with their successes. Please contact Mona, she needs your help and is anxious to meet and work with our mem-bers. Margaret and Lou Bouchct and Nina and Les Boshes and their chavurah have "adopted" one of the senior members of our congregation. They take him to services, have him for dinner and call him weekly. They have brought joy and meaning to someone living alone. There is no doubt about it. Temple Beth Sholom is a welcoming and caring congregation. Our members are from all over the country and it is a pleasure getting to know you all. Last, but certainly not least, we are proud to announce our partnership with Majestic Caterers from Los Angeles. They will be available for all weddings and B'nai Mitzvahs.

Our grateful appreciation to the TBS Men's Club for their generous donation to defray the cost of our Break-the-Fast. 3 Memo from Ops... 1 felt very strongly that this is what I was meant to do and Temple Beth Sholom is where I needed to be. I have come full circle or maybe it is just coming home again. When asked if I was interested in the posi-tion of Director of Operations I became very excited, which sur-prised me as much as the person who asked me. I felt very strongly that this is what I was meant to do and Temple Beth Sholom is where I needed to be. I started this journey officially on October 23, but I am positive I have been heading toward it for a long time. Sholom a place where Jewish fami-lies felt at home. I was a member of the Board of Education and served as its chair. I was on the Board of Directors for six years. I watched all four of my children take their prop-er place in the temple environment through Religious School, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and youth groups. They have all grown up to be out-standing Jewish adults. It is the con-tinuity and tradition of our religion that kept us together through C h ^ t a v ^ e happy and sad times. Director of Operations My family moved to Las Vegas in 1954 and we immediately joined Temple Beth Sholom when it was on Carson Street. Many of our members remember that building and how fast we outgrew it. We built a very modern and large syna-gogue on Oakey and I spent most of my teenage years involved in temple activities, especially in the Danny Kolod Youth Center. My brother had his Bar Mitzvah and I was confirmed within the familiar surroundings of the sanctuary. As the years flew by I married in the synagogue, named my babies there and took my place as an active adult in making Temple Beth After many years of working in tel-evision, public relations and market-ing I am back where I began my life's journey, but in a new and extraordinarily beautiful synagogue created through dreams and hard work by a very dedicated group of volunteers. This congregation can only grow and the temple will continue to prosper through the continued support of a dynamic membership and hardworking staff. Everyday is an adventure, filled with challenges, frustrations and tri-umphs. I am so happy that I am a part of it all. I have come home. 4 Education, Youth and Programming Department Special Place for _ Qy/ou and G^amily Jacob Raijman Director of Education and Programming There's a place for you at Temple Beth Sholom, a place to increase your Jewish knowledge, a place to nourish your Jewish soul.

We have all kinds of committees and activities for all ages and we would like to invite you to be part of this center of Jewish Life.

The course includes a comprehensive prepared childbirth instruction and such Jewish topics as creating a Jewish home, choosing a meaningful name, the Brit Milah and Baby Naming ceremonies etc. ' The Judy and Ronald Mack School of Religious Studies is committed to developing each child intellectually and spiritually, with curriculum emphasizing the Hebrew language, Bible, Jewish holidays and prayers. # # -A V;: Hebrew reading, Hebrew conversation, Israeli Folk dances, Introduction to Judaism are only a part of what we have in Adult Education. .

Kol Israel Arevim Se la Se (All Israel is responsible for each other). r*. j tm, and we will The Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center at Temple Beth Sholom has been very busy since our opening in September. We began with 50 children and have increased enrollment to 70. We have been doing wonderful things with our children to integrate Judaism into our curriculum. The Rabbi spends time every week sharing the Torah with the children, and our Cantor sings twice a week in our "music minyans". Our entire school celebrates Shabbat together every Friday with prayers, songs, and a meal of Matzo Ball Soup with Challah. We also have an excellent readi-ness program that prepares children for first grade. We have an active Parent Committee which meets regularly and finds ways to help our children. They make our costumes for our Hanukkah Festival which was held on December 13 in our sanctuary. We involve our parents in many ways: Once a month "Bagel Talks", gives parents a chance to meet each other while discussing parent-ing issues, a bi-monthly scrapbooking class, fund raising activities, and even a special project where they put the children's hand-prints all around our sandbox. We are very excited about our program because we teach academic preparedness while encompassing the true essence of Jewish education, traditions, values and experiences. the true essence cfjexuish education, traditions, values a nd experiences We will have open enrollment for the 2001- 2002 year in March.
