The Bulletin from Temple Beth Sholom, February 2002

Israel has been very much on my mind lately. Why? Well, because I often think about what the world would look like if Israel didn't exist. A world without Israel would not only mean a darker, less spiritual, less illuminated world; a world without Israel would also signify the triumph of evil over goodness, the triumph of deception over history, but above all the triumph of violence and hate over the human spirit. Israel is and should always remain one of the cornerstones of our moral foundation as Jews and as human be-ings. Israel is much more than a country on a map, a piece of earth between the sea and the desert. Israel is us, Israel is you and me, my children and yours. Israel is our past, present and future. Israel is now, Israel is today! Throughout its history as a State, Israel has seemed fragile to us from a distance many, many times. No matter what our perception might be, Israel has always been strong, and we need it to remain strong. It is not only up to the soldiers who defend our Holy Land to keep it from danger. It is not only up to God to keep Israel and our people safe. It is also up to us! So what can we do? The time has come for us to contribute to Israel in a very different way than we are used to. In the following lines I will not ask you for money, or for thoughts or prayers. I would like to ask you to join me in a mission of solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel. Let us show them that we care, that even though geographically we are far apart, we are truly very near to them when they need us the most. I want to make sure that years from now, when my children ask me what did I do for Israel when it needed me the most, I am able to answer that I traveled to Israel bearing a message of solidarity to show that I care?that I placed my feet upon the land, thus showing that actions speak much louder than words! Temple Beth Sholom is organizing a solidarity mission to Israel. Our original date of departure was February 26; for the time being, our mission has been postponed until the situation in Israel stabilizes. This mission is being organized solely by Temple Beth Sholom through the Masorti Travel Bureau. It is open to members of the community at large and will not join up with any other missions. This will be a unique mission. Our purpose is to see Israel from a different perspective; that is, through the eyes of the Masorti/Conservative movement in Israel. Details on cost and itinerary will be avail-able soon. Thank you for understanding our need to postpone the trip; I am sure we will be able to resume our plans in the near future. Sincerely, Rabbi Felipe Goodman February Events Purim to be Celebrated with Fun and Flair at Temple Beth Sholom This year Purim falls on Monday, February 25, and Tuesday, February 26. Temple Beth Sholom will again celebrate this festive holiday with flair and fun for all ages. On Monday night, at 6 p.m., a full, traditional Megil-lah reading will be held in the Chapel. At 6:45 p.m., "The Megillah's Greatest Hits"?a service geared to-wards children and their families?will be held in the Sanctuary. A second traditional Megillah reading will take place on Tuesday morning, at the 7:30 a.m. service. The congregation is also offering a special Mishloach Manot program, in which congregants may send holi-day goodies to other members of the Temple. All members should have received a mailing about the program. These forms are due back at the Temple by February 4. If you did not receive a form and would like to participate in the Mishloach Manot program, please call Mary Ann in the Temple office immediately to join the fun! ?IN Nominations Being Sought for Board of Directors A Nominating Committee has been appointed to nominate candidates for director, to be voted on at the general membership meeting to be held this May. If any member wishes to be considered to be nominated as a director, he or she must notify the Nominating Committee prior to Feb. 22. Members may contact the Nominating Committee by sending a letter or e-mail to the attention of "Chair, Nominating Committee," at the Temple office. To be nominated, a person must have been a mem-ber in good standing since last July, unrelated to any appointed director, and not a member of the board of any other synagogue in Clark County. He or she will also have to give the Nominating Committee a short resume of their qualifications. The Nominating Committee will submit its nominees to the Board in March. Individuals not nominated may seek nomination by petition, provided that their petition is signed by 10 members in good standing and is sub-mitted within two weeks after notification that they were not nominated by the Nominating Committee. Sha'arei Binah Series Concludes with Presentations by Rabbi Mayer Rabinowitz Rabbi Mayer E. Rabinowitz, librarian of the Jewish Theological Seminary and associate professor of Tal-mud, will speak at Beth Sholom on Saturday, February 9, and Sunday, February 10. At 9 a.m. Shabbat morn-ing services he will discuss "The role of Jewish Law in Conservative Judaism," and on Sunday morning, after 9 a.m. minyan and a light breakfast at 9:30, his presen-tation will be on "The Treasures of the JTS Library." Rabbi Rabinowitz is also chairman of the Joint Bet Din of the Conservative movement, dealing with mat-ters of marriage and divorce. He received his B.A., B.H.L. and M.A. from Yeshiva University. He later earned his M.H.L., rabbinic ordina-tion and Ph.D. from JTS. He is the author of several critical editions of medie-val halachic works and the editor-translator of Jewish Law in the State of Israel. His paper, On the Ordination of Women?An Advocate's Halakhic Response, was published in Judaism Magazine, and appears in The Ordination of Women as Rabbis: Studies and Re-sponsa. Other articles have ap-| peared in Conservative Judaism, Reconstructionist Magazine and I Sinai. He has written numerous responsa for the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards and has lectured widely on issues con-cerning Jewish law and the Con-servative movement. The recipi-ent of several awards and grants, including a National Defense For-1 eign Language Fellowship and Memorial Foundation grant, Rabbi Rabinowitz was also a fellow of the Herbert Lahman Institute for Talmudic Ethics. This presentation is part of the TBS Sha'arei Binah Series, made possible by a contribution from Ron and Jackie Turshinsky, in memory of their parents, Samuel and Carlyn Turshinsky, and Abe and Sarah Turchen. Rabbi Rabinowitz 2 Feb. 2002 From t h e President/Cantor's Message From the President Sandy Mallin Build it and they will come... Temple Beth Sholom is an example of how true these words are. We are in our new building less than two years and are pleased and proud to an-nounce that we are expanding the Joseph and Fanny Goldberg School Building. By next fall we will have six additional classrooms and two offices. Three of those classrooms are specially designed to use as a multipurpose room. There is now a new op-portunity for dedicating classrooms in honor of or in memory of a loved one. We will have plans ready for display in the coming month. It is hard to believe that the Board year is winding down; it seems like we just began. We have ap-pointed a nominating committee for the 2002-2003 Board of Directors. This committee will be working hard to ensure the Temple's vision and future. Our executive director search is progressing well. We will bring two qualified candidates to TBS for in-terview weekends in February. Congratulations to Rabbi Goodman on his appoint-ment to the prestigious JTS Chancellor's Rabbinic Cabinet. We are so proud of him and of the honor he brings to our synagogue. I hope you all enjoyed the Jewish Film Festival and that you're planning to attend the upcoming Craig Taubman concert. We are a busy, busy congregation, and I trust you will enjoy these programs as much as I. ? ? ? ? A Message from the Cantor Daniel Friedman When we speak of music and its connection with prayer, one is immediately reminded of the time when the holy Temple in Jerusalem was standing. Accord-ing to the Torah and historians, instead of having set times for prayer, people brought an offering, and mu-sic was played as an important part of the Temple's service. We have direct evidence of this in the psalms of King David. The tribe of Levi was in charge of the music, and when an offering was being served, the Levites would sing and play music. There are many reasons for playing music in the Temple but, in particular, three reasons come to mind. The most rational that comes to mind is that just as music is played in the courtyard of a king?in order to enhance the ambiance and splendor of the court?so should music be played in the courtyard of the King of Kings, Melech HaOlam. We can find support for this in Rambam's book, The Guide to the Perplexed. Rambam writes that, in God's Temple, music was played to add to the gran-deur of the experience. On the spiritual level, music has the ability to awaken us and soften our hearts so we can do Teshuvah, to return to the Temple. This idea was offered by Rabbi Shem Tov Ben Yoseph Ibn Falaquera in his writing, Safer Hamavakesh, and by Rabbi Moshe Yichiel Elimelech of Levertov in his writ- Feb. 2002 ing, Safer Shemirat Hada'at. On a mystical level, it is common knowledge that music and song can serve as a conduit for elevation of our spirit. All of us can recall a time when we have not felt particularly happy and we put on some music to help soothe our souls. According to the Chinuch, in biblical times, music was played to assist the Kohein in his intention. Music and song had to ac-company the offering in order for there to be an ele-vation from the physical (the sacrifice) to the spiritual (God) level. Since the destruction of the "Great Temple," we have the development of the "small temples" or syna-gogues. The local temple or synagogue became a place to congregate and make spiritual connections (offerings) to God. Instead of physical offerings, we pray, and to assist prayer (offerings), as in old times, we use music and song. Song and music has the capacity to clear the mind, and empty it of extraneous thoughts during prayer. This is what we are in search of, a spiritual connec-tion to God through the elevation of our collective spirits. This is what I hope to achieve as we explore more traditional ways of reaching out to you through music and song in our prayer services. I look forward to seeing you at Temple. ? ? i i > 3 Under The Dome A Group of Friends?Extend your Temple family-make new friends?join a Chavurah group!

Women's League Schedule?Wednesday, Feb. 20, 11:30 a.m.-l:30 p.m.: Women's League Purim Meeting titled "Ha-Ha Hamantaschen," a presentation on the travel of the Hamantasch throughout Jewish history as it goes from one community to another.

A Few Tickets Remain?Craig 'N Co., featuring award-winning entertainer Craig Taubman, will per-form at TBS on Sunday, February 10, at 3 p.m.. The event is being cosponsored by TBS, Congregation Ner Tamid and the JCC of Southern Nevada.

Taubman's music has become stan-dard at Jewish camps, synagogue services and Jewish schools. He also enjoys a career in television and film composing. Tickets are currently available through the Temple office. Junior Congregation Forming?We will hold Junior Congregation once a month for children in grades 4-6, from 9:45 to 11:30 a.m., in the Steinberg Chapel. All children in those age groups are welcome to attend. The educational service will be based on creative prayer exercises, discussion of the Torah reading, explanation of rituals and much more. While children attend Junior Congregation, parents are invited to pray with the congregation in the Main Sanctuary. The f i r s t session will be held on February 23. Kol HaShabbat Services?After the success of our f i r s t musical Shabbat last month, we proudly an-nounce a second one to be held on Saturday, February 16. Please be there at 9 a.m. Remember that many of the wonderful melodies and nigunim we are using are sung at the beginning of the service.

Congratulations?Rabbi Goodman was appointed by Dr. Ismar Shorsch (chancellor of The Jewish Theo-logical Seminary of America) to his Rabbinic Cabinet. The Chancellor's Rabbinic Cabinet at JTS is made up of 40 of the most important and visionary rabbis in the Conservative Movement. Rabbi Goodman is one of the youngest rabbis ever to be appointed for this very special honor. B "Under the Dome" is an ongoing column of general information.

Feb. 2002 Education Department/Preschool News Religious School News?Tu B'Shevat Program a Success; Kadima Chapter Forms On Sunday, January 27, the Religious School students and their families celebrated Tu B'Shevat. We had a wonderful speaker from Jew-ish National Fund who taught us about the water situation in Israel and showed us a movie of Tu B'Shevat and tree-planting in Israel. Our students sang Tu B'Shevat songs, to the delight of their parents, and we all planted trees and bushes around the Temple. This year, the trees were dedicated to the children of our Religious School families, and another tree was planted in their honor in Israel. Each family was presented with a certificate from the Jewish National Fund. We would like to thank Rabbi Goodman, our Religious School and the Chevra Kadisha for funding the trees in Israel. Another event we held on that same Sunday was the kickoff to our Kadima Youth Movement. Nineteen children ages 9-12 years old ate pizza, played games and had tons of fun. The children also decided on the activities they would like to hold for their next gatherings. We want to wish them the best for participating and being the future building blocks of our congregation. News from the Sandra & Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center What an enjoyable January here at the Pre-school. We all had a relaxing Winter Break and are happy to be back. We celebrated Tu B'Shevat with a wonderful seder; thank you again to Rabbi Goodman and Cantor Friedman for all of their help. Registration for the 2002-2003 school year will begin on February 4 for those who are currently enrolled in the preschool. Those who are new to the school will be able to register beginning on the 19th of the month. If you are interested in touring the preschool or being put on the mailing list for information regarding our fall session, please con-tact us soon. On March 1, registration begins for our Summer camp. The first day of Summer Camp will be June 24. Our annual Passover Seder is scheduled for March. This promises to be another fun-filled ad-venture. April 14th is our third annual Children's Fashion Show Fundraiser. It benefits both the Relgious School and Preschool children. Our theme this year is "Red, White and Blue in 2002," featuring a spectacular fashion show, great food, photo ops and lots of raffles and silent auction items. If you would like to participate in this event, or would like more information, please call the preschool office at 804-1333, ext. 201. Dorothy Rice Books Available The Temple has a limited number of copies of Dorothy Rice's book, Las Ve-gas with Love, available for purchase in the office. Last fall, Rice spoke at Beth Sholom and displayed samples of her artwork. The book is a collection featuring more than 250 of Rice's watercolor ren-derings of the city's hotels, casinos, and movers and shakers?including por-traits of several members of our congregation. All paintings in the book are in lush, vibrant color?a perfect addition to your bookshelf or coffee table. Rice captures the essence of our glittering city with her signature style. While supplies last, the Temple is offering the book at a cost of $50?nearly half off the cover price of $80. To purchase a copy, stop in the Temple office, or phone 804-1333. B Feb. 2002 Women's League/Men's Club The Women's League of Temple Beth Sholom Blanche Meisel There is a new book out by Rabbi Michael Greenbaum, a vice chancellor of the Jewish Theologi-cal Seminary, entitled Louis Finkelstein: The Conser-vative Movement. The subtitle is Conflict and Growth. It was the subtitle that really caught my attention. First thought to my mind was: Beth Sholom, Las Vegas, what else? Second thought: Probably every congrega-tion in the world. Third thought: Many conflict and do not grow. End of thoughts. At Temple Beth Sholom, Las Vegas, we use our adversity to foster our growth. How lucky we are! Our congregation, like most, has many "arms" that function toward the good of the whole. Like the various arms of the Conservative Movement?the Rabbinical Assembly, the United Synagogue, the Women's League for Conservative Judaism and the Federation of Men's Clubs?each "arm" may work differently and convey different philosophical approaches. However, all the diverse parts then blend together to make a stronger, broader-based Conservative Movement. I believe that, like the Conservative Movement, our con-gregation is growing in depth, and we can credit our diverse "arms" for helping to make that happen. The Women's League has increased its member-ship 75 percent over the last few years, and our activi-ties and programs have grown in numbers and deep-ened in content. Our goal is to generate a knowledge-able and vibrant Jewish lifestyle for our members and to service and support our Temple and its programs. We are beginning to reach out to the Las Vegas Jew-ish community and to all Israel. So what if we don't all think alike? We use those threads of varied viewpoints to create an organization that is growing and achiev-ing. Of course, we are proud. We hope you are too. 1 1 Men's Club Irwin Goldberg and Jerry Katz On January 16, Beth Sholom Men's Club elections were held, and we were honored to be elected co-presidents. We believe that with our combined strengths, we can offer programming ideas that will benefit the entire membership. The following are just a few of our goals: ? Provide a full spectrum and variety of Men's Club activities for members of all ages and interests; ? Encourage participation and involvement in what our organization does; % Support the ideals and programs of our dynamic congregation; \ Expand the scope of the Men's Club to meet family and community needs; ? Increase the interest in joining Men's Club through active programming. As co-presidents we will together begin the process to develop our organization to a level that we can all be proud of and one that encourages men of all ages to participate. Male issues in family and religious matters do not just begin once you become age 55 or when you retire and are trying to find something to do with your time. Important issues in life begin the day you become a man, and our Men's Club wants to support you in those things that are meaningful to all of us. You need to let our officers and committee chairs know what you want and what kind of programming Men's Club needs to consider to gain your interest. Our other newly elected officers are: Vice President Roger Meyers, Secretary Irv Herman, Treasurer Dr. Gary Markewich. Committee chairs are: Ritual, Murray Leitner; Major Fund Raising, Irwing Goldberg; Parlia-mentarian and By-Laws, Bob Dubin; Yom HaShoah Program, Dr. Michael Breyer; Caring, Stan Garber; Synagogue Support, David Carroll; Ushering, Larry Brown; Chevra Kadisha, Irwin Goldberg; Publicity, Marc Frye. We are seeking volunteers to chair the fol-lowing committees: Athletics, Educational/Social, Ways & Means, Membership, Community Relations. General membership meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month. You're encouraged to at-tend as a guest and try us out before you decide to join and pay your $36 annual membership dues. Meeting times are published in the weekly Temple handout, in the monthly Bulletin and by postcard to active mem-bers. Please tell your son/s, father, grandfather/s, uncle/s, cousin/s and friends who are Temple Beth Sholom members about Men's Club and encourage them to join us in meeting the needs and objectives of our con-gregation. Men interested in joining the Men's Club or those in-terested in taking on a leadership role are encouraged to contact either of us for more information. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to help lead our Men's Club to new heights. 6 Feb. 2002 Membership Corner Membership Corner Watch for new and exciting programs from the membership committee.
