The Bulletin from Temple Beth Sholom, April 2002

TEMPLE BETH SHOLOM Temple Beth Sholom THE BULLETIN April 2002 Nisan-lyar 5762 Vol. 2, No. 4 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Annual Meeting Notice 2 Executive Director ?a Membership Corner 3 Under the Dome 4 B'nai Mitzvah 5 Women's League Men's Club 6 L'Dor V'Dor 7 Religious School 8 Preschool 9 Donations 10 Calendar of Events 16 Schedule of Services Temple Beth Sholom is a Conservative Congregation affiliated with The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism From the Rabbi/From the President All jews are Responsible for One Another There is not a single one of us that has not been touched by the cur-rent events in Israel. Although Israel is thousands of miles away from us, it is really closer than we all think. The pictures that we have seen over the last weeks?the words of hate that never cease to be spoken, the tears of orphaned children and the pain of families separated?have left a deep mark in the soul of our people as a whole. What others describe as "The situation in The Middle East" for us translates into the suffering and anguish of our people. The Torah teaches that all Israel is responsible for one another. When one of us is in pain, whether in Jerusalem or in New York or in Las Vegas, we all feel it as our own pain. The months ahead will be very difficult and trying ones, and we have to do our best to rise to the occasion and help our brothers and sisters in Israel. This is an emergency call to our entire congregation and all our friends to raise enough money to donate an ambulance to Magen David Adorn, the second line of de-fense in Israel that provides all emergency medical services in times of peace and war. An ambulance costs $55,000. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary meas-ures; we are sure that as a concerned and united congregation we can meet this most sacred of tasks and most important of challenges. We ask that you give now?a check made out to Temple Beth Sholom identified as "ARMDI" or "Ambulance Fund," or credit cards are most welcome. We will publish the names of those who are "responsible for one another" with the amount raised in next month's Bulletin. Magen David Adorn receives no allocation of funds from the United Jewish Appeal or Bonds for Israel. It maintains a modern fleet of 550 ambulances that are on con-stant alert. They must be replaced at the rate of 80 vehicles per year as they become worn and tired and most recently?destroyed. To date, Magen David Adorn has taken care of close to 200,000 injured men, women and children. Let the next ambulance proudly bear the words: "Donated by Temple Beth Sholom, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA." Please call in or send your donation now; the amount of money raised in our own country through the Red Cross after September 11 was extraordinary. It is now our turn to do the same for Israel! With heartfelt thanks, Board President Sandy Mallin Rabbi Felipe Goodman mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiM Notice of Annual Meeting Annuai Meeting Slated for May 1 The annual meeting of Temple Beth Sholom will be held at the Temple at 7 p.m., on May 1, 2002.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire congregation, we wish the Raijmans success and happiness. 2 Apr. 2002 Executive Director/Membership Corner Temple Hires Executive Director At the March 5 Board meeting, the Board ap-proved the employment of Robert Mirisch as TBS's Executive Director. The ED Search Committee, headed by Arlene Blut, recommended Mirisch to the Board after processing the many applications it had received for the position. Mirisch has been an attorney and business execu-tive in Los Angeles for over 30 years, specializing in motion pictures and television. Among other posi-tions held by Mirisch are Senior Vice President for Legal and Business Affairs for the television division of Orion Pictures and Executive Vice President of Rastar Productions, a producer of feature motion pictures. In both capacities he administered the staffs and operations of those businesses. In the Jewish community Mirisch was President of an 800 family Reform congregation and for the past 14 years has held Board and officer positions at Conservative congregations. For the past two years he has been the Editor of the Temple Beth Am newsletter. He has served in many positions for the LA Jewish Federation over the years, including act-ing as LA's representative to the National Commis-sion on Jewish Continuity, Chair of the Synagogue Funding Committee, Co-Chair of the Jewish Com-mission of Disabilities, Chair of the Spirituality Com-mission and member of the Federation's Planning and Allocation Committee. He was recipient of the Temple Beth Am President's Award last year, and he and his wife, Judy, were the first recipients of the Federation's Altman Award for Leadership in the Jewish Community. He and Judy are parents to five adult children, Ste-ven, John, Gary, Jill and Richard. In addition to his devotion to Jewish life and to family, Robert (who says you can call him "Bob" if you prefer) is commit-ted to Organ Donation, crossword puzzles and din-ing out. Judy is a devotee of bridge, gardening and entertaining. "We feel that Bob is the perfect choice for TBS," said President Sandy Mallin. "His administrative skills, knowledge of temple and Jewish communal affairs and particularly his passion for Judaism, im-pressed the Search Committee and the Board. We look forward to his joining us July 1." For his part, Mirisch explains his career and life style change this way, " I love to be involved in Jew-ish matters; so what else would I do at this point in my life? After all, I don't play golf." He says he ea-gerly anticipates his and Judy's move to Las Vegas and his beginning his functioning at TBS. "I want to meet everyone in the congregation on a one-to-one basis. I hope they will come and spend some time with me so I can know what everyone's dreams are for TBS." G Membership Corner The TBS Membership Committee is very happy with the outcome of last month's membership party. Close to 60 new, current and prospective members and guests attended the event. The cocktail party was held at the home of Suriva and Bob Fischer, and a fun evening was most definitely enjoyed by everyone in attendance. The Membership Commit-tee planned and put into motion many innovative icebreakers that kept everyone making introductions to each other throughout the entire night. When it was time to say goodbye, we all left with a great feeling of accomplishment, knowing that everyone was made to feel welcomed and that the party had definitely been a success. If you have received an invitation to this month's membership event, we hope you are able to attend. If you didn't receive one this time, you will receive one in the months to follow. We are really excited to include everyone in our plans and can't wait to invite every TBS member to at least one of our parties over the next 12 months. In the meantime, we want to welcome all of our new members to our Temple Beth Sholom family. We look forward to seeing you in the months to come at many of our ongoing TBS programs. As we continue to plan programs, remember, we built this Temple for special members like you!

BRIAN RABINOVICH?APRIL 27 Brian Rabinovich, son of Marvin Rabinovich, will be called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on Saturday, April 27, at Temple Beth Sholom. Apr. 2002 Kfl Women's League/Men's Club The Women's League of Temple Beth Sholom Blanche Meisel Studying with the Rabbi has really given me other insights into how we express our Judaism. In Leviticus it notes the establishment of a sacred community - "a nation of priests" - whose daily deeds perfect the world under God's rule. Deeds ring louder and with greater clarity than words, and when we live within a synagogue community there is a sense of God's presence in all the work we do. As we "do" for the community, it offers us the opportunity to enrich our lives, to grow spiritu-ally and in knowledge, and to make each day count as a day of achievement. In the Women's League we look for the "bigger picture" in our lives. We want to make each day one of achievement. We are looking forward to many wonderful experiences as we fulfill our goals. Please join us on April 17 for our election, when we will hear about growing up Jewish in Ar-gentina. The program will be enhanced by an ex-hibition of illusion. "Judaism, Modernism & Feminism," to be held on Sunday, April 21, will feature Carolyn Good- ? --- mm -rT.'t-r Thanks to all the volunteers who helped assem-ble the Yom Hashoah Candle mailing on March 6th. There were over 25 people helping with the process. A special thanks to Dr. Michael Breyer who chaired this activity and to the office staff for their support. Donations for your Yellow Candle can be made to the Men's Club and sent to the Temple office. This month we spotlight two more Men's Club Committees. Marc Frye chairs our new Publicity Committee. Marc sends out all meeting notices to Men's Club members as well as other Men's Club information important to the entire congregation. The Committee also has plans for developing a periodic Men's Club newsletter. Marc was the Men's Club President at his former congregation in Florida and is well suited to handle publicity with man as keynote speaker, and we will break into four seminar units addressing the issues in the ti-tle. This is a first time event for us and we need your support! All who wish to come are most wel-come. May 19 is our Donor Luncheon for all who raised (or who wish to donate) monies. We will conclude the season with an installation of the new officers and board members. We are having a most exciting, full year. Our new programs include Secret Sisters, our Seminar Day and Z'hava. We heartily support the Torah Fund Campaign for higher Jewish education and cooperate with our Preschool, Religious School and donate service and monies to our spiritual home, Temple Beth Sholom. Looking at things as they are, we know that all is not perfect and that there is still work to do. We sincerely hope to be as perfect as is humanly pos-sible. We want our deeds to ring loud and clear, and for us to bring benefit to our spiritual commu-nity. ? ? ? ? B H n n n i s r i a formal background in the field. The Outreach Committee, chaired by Stan Gar-ber, will arrange for visiting sick members, contact Men's Club members for attending Shiva Minyans, handle transportation of members to Men's Club sponsored programs, and many other activities in-volving our members. This Committee will be re-sponsible for activities not already being spon-sored by the Temple. Stan also chairs the syna-gogue's Bikkur Cholim committee. A special thanks to Mr. Donald Kirschenblatt for donating several "almost new" soft drink and candy vending machines to the Men's Club. Each vending machine is the perfect size for a small business or office and will be sold by the Men's Club at an excellent price. For more information, contact either Irwin Goldberg or Jerry Katz.

Our exchange had a two-fold purpose. The first was to perform this important mitzvah of giving from yourself and what you have to offer someone else. Another was for our students to get to know other students who are not in the same grade level. In order to achieve that goal, students drew names from a school-wide draw-ing. Nathaniel Saxe, Cariy Saxe, Rory Carmer, Nicole Green and Shane Cashin are pictured at the Religious School seder with Ayelet Blit, Asst. Dir. of Education. We combined these two important goals to create a caring environment in which students were responsible for preparing an age-appropriate package. Our students didn't disap-point us. Their Mishloach Manot baskets, plates, bags and packages were well-thought-out and in some cases, very creative. Our school's tremendous growth over the past two years has caused us to change our routine of handing out the packages in one assembly. This year, we delivered them to the class-rooms? a process which proved to be very suc-cessful. With the participation of 95 percent of our stu-dents and their supportive families, the Mish-loach Manot exchange was a tremendous suc-cess. Witnessing the involvement and excite-ment of our students and their families?not to mention the joy of giving and receiving?is an educator's greatest reward. Leah Trueworthy, Daniel Shreiar, Jesse Warner, Maura Epstein, Samantha Owens and Carly Saxe are pictured with Hebrew/Judaica Teacher Elke Sidranski. Purim passed and Pesach came. On Sunday, March 17, we celebrated a model seder. All of our classes from kindergarten to seventh grade enjoyed a beautiful seder led by Rabbi Goodman and Cantor Friedman. Many students volunteered to read from the Hag-gadah, and all of them joined our music teacher, Mr. Cohen, in Pesach songs and of course the Four Questions. We had a wonderful seder ta-ble set by seventh grade students and a most delicious matzah ball soup prepared by mem-bers of the Education committee and parents volunteers. Cantor Friedman helps lead the Religious School seder as Brett Leibowitz, Alex Familian and Tyler Feldman follow along. We would like to extend a huge thank you to our education committee for helping us in hav-ing such a wonderful Seder.

Yellow Candle Program Increases Holocaust Awareness It has been more than 50 years since Nazi concentration camps were liberated, and the Holocaust that claimed 6 million Jewish lives came to an end. To remember the 6 million who perished and to honor their memories, Temple Beth Sholom will join Jews throughout North America by participating in the Yom Ha Shoah Yellow Candle Program sponsored by the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs, in cooperation with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the North American Federation of Temple Brotherhoods. As the years pass, the memories of those who fell victim to the ultimate hate crime must not diminish. That is why we are encouraging all Beth Sholom members and their families to light just one Yellow Candle on the night of April 8. By lighting these can-dles, we increase awareness of the Holocaust and perpetuate our commitment to our people. Yom HaShoah candles are a highly visible symbol for keeping the flame alive. Their color recalls the badges Jews were forced to wear in Nazi-occupied Europe, but their flame inspires hope that we can yet make our world a tolerant place to live. If you did not receive a candle, additional supplies are available in the Temple office. YOM HASHOAH YELLOW CANDLE?
