Torah study & Our Jewish Heritage meets in the Kantor Family Library and Morning Minyan meets in the Solomon BeitTefillah. * Note earlier service time As I sit down to write my rabbi's message in the middle of February, the glow of our 40th anniversary weekend, the Cantor's installation and Congregant of the Year celebrations are with me still. This year has been filled with much joy and unique opportunities to celebrate and honor the dedication of our staff and members. March picks up in a slightly different direction. It is all about Purim! Or as the old joke describing Jewish holiday observance noted, "they tried to kill us; we won; let's eat!" We are trying something a little different this year as we observe Purim on the actual night of Purim itself for a family fun evening involving children of the religious school who are featured in a Purim Spiel based on "Frozen"! created by Cantor Hutchings. Food, fun projects and excitement galore will be what fills our Temple Wednesday March 4th. And of course we will have our Purim Carnival on Sunday March 8th! I will also be doing a bit of traveling on behalf of the congregation this month. At the beginning of March I will lead a delegation to AIPAC in Washington D.C. Netanyahu is the featured speaker and the need for Israel Advocacy could not be more urgent. Later in the month, I travel to Philadelphia for the annual Central Conference of American Rabbi's convention. The CCAR represents reform rabbis throughout North America. This year we elect Denise Eger as our President. She has been at the forefront of fighting for the rights of the LGBTQ community and a dear colleague. The focus of the convention will be on human rights as we return to Philadelphia marking the 25th anniversary of the CCAR's original resolution in support of civil marriage for LGBTQ community. Finally, at the end of the month I am off to NYC with this year's confirmation class. Those of you who have supported the bake sales on Sunday morning have helped provide scholarship opportunities for children wanting to attend, and reducing the price of the trip for all the students. We will be going to Ellis Island, the Tenement Museum, the Lower East Side, Katz' Deli, Ground Zero, and celebrate Shabbat at Central Synagogue among the many trip highlights. Speaking of travel...Cantor Hutchings and I will be leading a Congregational trip to Israel, July 3-12 2016! Yep, our trip is NEXT SUMMER. So plenty of time to plan this in your travel schedule. It will be an incredible experience. For folks who have already gone, we have some amazing new experiences, and for first timer's this is a wonderful way to get to know Israel and make life long friends within the Congregation. More info will be forthcoming soon. As the saying goes, "Be Happy it's Adar!" May this month bring you and your loved ones happiness and joy. B'shalom, Rabbi Sanford Akselrad Anniversary Blessing Friday, March 20 at 7:00pm Join us for a special anniversary blessing! Wednesday, March 4 Purim Program *Please note that Hebrew school and Gesher on Tuesday, March 3 and Tot Shabbat on Friday, March 6 will be replaced by the Wednesday, March 4 Purim program You may have heard I turned the big 3-0 a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit scary, a bit awesome, and a big reality check. A third of my life is over; there is no turning back... but would I want to turn back if given the option? There are times I think a redo would be quite nice, and there are times I wish I could see my future. The present, however, is where living is the most exciting. If we keep thinking, I'll just be happy when I graduate. I'll just be happy when I get married. I'll just be happy when I have children. I'll just be happy when my kids are out of the house. I'll just be happy when I lose 10 lbs. I'll just be happy...when...when...WHEN...? Then we are always awaiting happiness and never being happy in THIS moment. This beautiful, wonderful, bittersweet moment. In my 20s I learned, Im ayn ani li mi li? If not NOW, when? This month, I thought it might be useful to share with you ten other lessons I've learned in my 20s... 1. Surround yourself with love. You are worthy of giving love and being loved. If you aren't receiving love from a family member or friend, the relationship isn't worth your heartache. Make an effort, but know when it's time to say, goodbye. 2. Take risks... Financial, educational, love, commitment, take the risk and keep on swimming. Have a goal in sight and if you fall, try again. If you fall and can't get back up, don't beat yourself up, you'll find a purpose to this detour in your life. 3. When you're feeling like sulking or beating yourself up, turn those emotions around by doing something kind for someone else. I promise, you'll feel better. 4. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's not worth it. Life is too short. 5. Finish what you started. 11 years of higher education after high school is no joke. I could be a doctor by now! Every single September, I gave myself 100 reasons why I didn't need to finish my grad programs. But pushing on was the BEST decision I ever made. 6. Marriage is not always butterflies and candy apples. It's hard work. But love is worth it, and there are way more good times than there are bad. 7. Don't forget to laugh. When times get tough, I get serious. Way too serious. And I just want someone to walk into my office and make me laugh. 8. Take care of yourself and enjoy your life. It goes hand in hand. Workout your body. Put good nourishing colorful things in your mouth, AND make sure you include the occasional (even daily) sweet treat. Life is sweet, why not taste it? Take mental health days. They are so important. Study hard, and workout that brain. Push your creative abilities to the max, try new things, and take time for YOU. $25 "foot" massages are my best friend, shopping trips and regular visits to the spa, hair, and nail salon are a must. Feeling good about yourself can't be beat, so make sure you sock away a little gelt to take care of you? guilt free. 9. Be YOU, and don't apologize for it. God made you... Insecurities, big butt, wacky personality and all. Just embrace it. 10. GIVE! Give of your time, your heart, your money, and your ears. You couldn't possibly know how much the people around you need you. Giving pays it forward, creates good vibes, and is necessary to keep the world turning. Give the most tzedakali that you can, help your friends, and make a difference. Here's to 30! B'shira, Cantor Jessica Hutchings ?

Michael Cherry Dr. Bernard Farrow "Eugene Kirshbaum 'David Goldwater "deceased Wow, it is only March and already we have had an action packed year. We have celebrated with Beatles Shabbat, had many wonderful reunions as we marked Ner Tamid's 40th birthday, welcomed Cantor Hutchings officially back home and honored our amazing Congregant of the Year, Fay Schoenfeld. We look forward this month to a "Frozen" Purim Shpiel on March 4th, an action packed Purim carnival on March 8th and more tile painting parties, such as "Tequila and Tile" for our "40 Years of Simchas" wall mural project. Later this year we will be unveiling our mural project, and we want your memories to be a part of it, so please check the bulletin for the painting party dates to get your families in on the fun! During this anniversary year, we will be telling our stories from the bimah and mounting them on the walls. Speaking of walls, you may have noticed the photos displayed outside the Social Hall. My thanks go out to Bruce and Sarah Familian and Wendy Dreitzer for scanning, printing and framing. I also need to thank Jeremy Hutchings for his perfect picture hanging. So please be sure to stop and take a look through the photos to find yourself and your friends. If you see groups that are missing and you have that photo, bring in a copy and it will go on the wall. I am also asking for other pictures for part of our ongoing history project. You will see some drop boxes around the synagogue for you to deposit them (be sure they are copies, they cannot be returned). We are planning some additional poster projects and I would love for all your families to be included. This 40th year is all about history, what has been created, what we are creating now, and what we hope to create in the future. As part of our future, we have formed a Founders Legacy Community. Anyone who pledges this year to place CNT in their will or estate plan will become part of this wonderful Legacy community that will insure our future success. To date, we have over 40 families who have made that commitment. Later this year, Dr. Larry Lehrner, who chairs this committee and his wonderful wife, former Congresswoman Shelley Berkeley, will be hosting an open house at their home for more information, so be sure to look for the date soon. If you have already made a pledge or would like to, please contact the office so you can be included in the ever growing list and special events for our Legacy Founders. I look forward to seeing all of you this spring as events at Ner Tamid continue to blossom under the love and guidance of Rabbi Akselrad, Cantor Hutchings, and all of you. Your participation and love is what continues to make Ner Tamid a "Special Place to Belong". May we go from strength to strength in the next 40 years. B' shalom, Jacky HELPING CNT THRIVE Our Jewish heritage is vibrantly observed and celebrated at Congregation Ner Tamid. We are a leading synagogue in lifelong learning, worship, social action and Chesed - our caring community. During times of joy and sadness, our members are well-served and supported by unequaled pastoral care by our strong clergy team. We are working now to sustain and strengthen the programs, support and community activism that is so vital to our congregation's success. We want to be a CNT that is not only vibrant and healthy, but also one that is secure in its future. We all have an obligation to help provide and support the fiscal needs of this institution that has played an important role and has enhanced our own lives immensely. We need to help keep this synagogue fiscally strong for generations to come. With this in mind, we have been meeting with temple leaders and members at large who are committed to helping CNT thrive long into the future. We hope that as you consider charitable giving in your estate planning, you will realize how essential your gift is to invest in the future of our CNT community. Your gift will help strengthen our lifelong learning programs, build on our vital social action efforts, and update our physical facility or other endeavors that our temple operating budget simply cannot cover. Your gift will help us grow our outreach to those who are unaffiliated, and be a caring community for our members. Over the coming months and years, as we campaign for a growing legacy fund, we will together bequeath a legacy to those who will come after us, strengthening CNT's enduring pursuit to be "a special place to belong". Your commitment to the legacy campaign will help ensure that we remain a strong presence and lead our Reform Jewish community for generations to come. Thank you in advance for pledging your involvement in this campaign and a gift to our legacy fund that makes you proud! Anyone who pledges this year for our 40th anniversary becomes part of our "Legacy Founders' Circle."

Cantor Rachel Goldman will be our guest Cantor on Friday, March 13 at 7:00pm featuring the Shabbatones Cantor Rachel Goldman, a native of Los Angeles, began her vocal training as a coloratura soprano at a young age, spending a majority of her childhood in the highly-acclaimed Los Angeles Children's Chorus. Before reaching college, she had already sung on some of the largest stages in LA, including the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in five operas with the Los Angeles Opera. Cantor Goldman graduated Summa Cum Laude from the American Jewish University in 2010 with a degree in Classical Jewish Studies, BA, after several years at University of California Santa Barbara, where she studied both Vocal Performance and Italian Studies and was selected for a summer residency in the Loire Valley, France. Ordained at the Academy for Jewish Religion, California, in May of 2014, she holds a Masters of Jewish Sacred Music from the same institution. She is also set to receive a second ordination as Rabbi and a Masters of Rabbinic Studies in May of 2016. She served for over seven years at Congregation Beit T'Shuvah, a synagogue and full inpatient addiction rehabilitation center that incorporates Jewish teachings. There, she had the opportunity to orchestrate services ranging from classical to high-spirited rock and Jazz with full band, as well as working with recovering alcoholics and addicts as a spiritual counselor and even preparing some for adult B'nai Mitzvah. Cantor Goldman is also currently part of a project called Guys and Meidels, a collaborative show which, along with three other young LA-based cantors (Cantors Marcus Feldman, Samuel Cohen, and Shira Fox), melds traditional Chazzanut and other Jewish music with new and exciting modern sounds and unique harmonies to unite different generations of Judaism in concert. She is beyond thrilled and honored to be a part of this event alongside so many respected and talented colleagues.
