In The Torah Just Like in Life, Every Word, Every Letter, Every Spaee, Even Silence is Important Rabbi Felipe Goodman. A man starts a business, and puts more than forty years of his life into it. He's extremely successful by every measure. Everyone with whom he comes in contact is pleased with his demeanor and with his results. He raised two sons to adulthood. And as he prepares to step down from this company - the one which he had nurtured for all these years - he decides to have a gala celebration at which he would install his successor as president of the company. Of course, everyone wondered which of his sons would get the job, but no one knew. Finally, the day of the celebration came, and once again the man showed his wisdom - he divided the job into two. Only he gave neither of these newly created positions to his two sons. Instead, he gave one to someone from outside the family and the second position to his brother. Everyone was a little surprised - to say the least. I am not making this story up. It is the story of Moshe Rabbeinu. After over forty years of serving as the undisputed leader of the Israelites, he needed to start thinking about the future without himself in the picture. After all, he would not be entering into the land of Israel. We know that Joshua would follow Moshe as the political leader of Israel. And in this week's parashah - Tzav - we read how Aaron, Moshe's brother, would become the High Priest -or spiritual leader of the people. Somehow, the Torah never directly addresses Moshe's feelings about this transition. We can only surmise that it saddened him deeply that neither of his sons, Gershom nor Eliezer, would follow in his footsteps nor would they take on a leadership role among the Israelite people. We get a hint of this disappointment from this week's Parashah - not from the words, only from the trope or cantillation. Keep in mind that the cantillation was added in the early Middle Ages by a group of scholars called the Masoretes (Baalei HaMasoret). It's almost like a commentary on the text itself and this is a perfect example. As Moshe was preparing to formally initiate Aaron as the High Priest, we read the following verse: "VA-YISH-HAT - And it was slaughtered. Moses took some of its blood and put it on the ridge of Aaron's ear... ( Leviticus 8:23)" The trope for the word "VA-YISH-HAT" is a shalshelet or 'chain' - one of only four in the entire Torah. The first is Genesis 19: 16 - when Lot was leaving Sodom: the second is in Genesis 24:12 - when Eliezer prayed to God to find Rivkah; the third is in Genesis 39: 8 - when Joseph was hesitating in response to the overtures of Pottiphar's wife (my personal favorite); and then our verse. Each one seems to indicate a pause in the action, a moment of reflection to consider the gravity of the moment. We can rmagine Moshe, thrnkrng to himself how much MORE wonderful the day would have been if one of his sons were being initiated as a priest together with the sons of Aaron. How much MORE wonderful would the conquest be under the leadership of one of his sons rather than Joshua. Where did he go wrong with these two boys? Perhaps, Moshe could not communicate with them in such a way that they could hear him. Per haps, they could not approach their father and say the things they were really feeling. Perhaps, all of them could only hear the words without hearing the emotion behind them. We'll never know. At this point in the narrative, though, we can virtually hear the sigh emanating from Moshe's mouth as he continued with the initiation rite for Aaron and Aaron's sons. The truth is that we very rarely pause as Moshe did - as Lot, Eliezer and Joseph each did - to consider the significance of the moment in which we are living. We often live for the present, without fully considering the implications of our actions in the future. In this case, however, the trope comes to remind us that we must pause, take a little extra time and consider the significance of the moment. If we read the text without the cantillation, we might never realize the importance of this moment for Moshe and his Rabbi's Message Cantor's Message two sons. The text flows straight through the initiation rite. Similarly, we often hear the words coming out of people's mouths without considering the expressions on their faces, the tones of their voices. This is one of the great drawbacks of modern communication tools -such as e-mail and text messaging. We cannot hear the cantillation that goes with the words. We miss out on important parts of the message. Cantor's Message By Cantor Daniel Friedman Oh what a great time we are going to have on March 20th. It's Adar. It's Temple Beth Sholom's first Purimpalooza.. .Music, sketches, skits, dance, song, comedy and costumes. This is the month of fun and frolic, of joy and laughter, of celebration and a pseudo-bacchanalian release of pent-up energy, a welcome explosion of hilarity after a long winter. It's Purim time! The last holiday of the biblical calendar, Purim celebrates the ultimate redemption of good over evil, based on a story 2,500 years old and its significance lies not only in the recounting of triumph over near tragedy, but in the story of the Jews living in non-Jewish society. Purim might be loosely but fairly described as the Jewish answer to Mardi Gras or Carnival. Of course, the theological underpinnings of the holiday are radically different from these Christian counterparts. On Purim there is a moment in the Jewish year during which we can go beyond the science-based reality we so closely cling to. On Purim anything can happen: miracles, sudden good fortune.. .Magic! What happens on Purim stays in the memory of Purim, partly because Jews are supposed to get drunk enough that they cannot distinguish between "Blessed be Mordecai" and "Cursed be Haman," so things can get pretty wild. Purim involves dressing in costumes (often in drag), riotous behavior, excessive drinking, and lots of noise. Adults and not just children ar e supposed to dress in costumes. So, parents, pick a costume to wear when you bring your children to celebrate on March 20th. For your edification, the Cliff Notes* version of Purim goes something like this: Queen Vashti defied the Persian King Ahasueros and was banished. The King, by nature rather shallow, held a beauty contest, and chose Esther, a quiet, young Jewish girl, as the winner. Hainan was appointed Grand Vizier, and Mordechai, Esther's Uncle, for political and religious reasons (Harnan wants everyone to bow to him and worship him), refused to support him. For this reason, I laman takes revenge on all Jews in the kingdom with a plot to kill them. Me manages to persuade the King to sign a declaration permitting him to fulfill his vengeful plan. Esther, however, discovers the plot and at the risk of her own life intercedes with the King during a banquet. She tells him that she's Jewish and condemns Haman. The King executes Haman and the Jews are victorious. The end. Now let's all celebrate, eat drink and be festive. Just so you know, the word "Purim" means "lots" or "dice," in commemoration of the fact that Haman used lots to decide the day on which the Jews would be killed. Very appropriate for all of us here in Las Vegas. So, put on you most outrageous and ridiculous costume and join us for our first ever Purimpalooza on March 20th. I look forward to seeing you at Temple.

Hannah is a very compassionate young lady, which led her to choose her Mitzvah project. She felt compelled to help less fortunate children than herself. Hannah has set up boxes in her school and temple and requested support from her attendees to her special day to go out of their way and donate a bag of socks/underwear to the children at Child Haven. Hannah has expressed that she will continue this work throughout her life. Hannah has personally adopted two Philippine children and has been supporting them since she was six. She is planning to visit them when she graduates High School. Hannah your family is so proud of you!

B'nai Mitzvah Alvson is a 7th grade straight A accelerated student at Del Webb Middle School. She also is a 1st chair flutist in the school orchestra. It was Alyson's love for pets that has guided her towards her bat mitzvah project-collecting donations for America's Vet Dogs. The donations collected will help feed and train service dogs that will be provided to women and men who have served our country honorably, and have been left either blind or with special needs. Dr. and Mrs. Clifford Molin are proud to announce that their youngest daughter, Danielle Marie will be called to Torah at Temple Beth Sholom on March 22, 2008.

Gabrielle organized a school bake sale and raised over $2,000.00 for the Komen Foundation. She was voted "Miss Personality" by her classmates two years in a Row. Because cancer is prevalent in her family, for her mitzvah project, Gabrielle has chosen to increase her goal to raise $2,000.00 for the Komen Foundation this year.

Solomon Schechter Day School of Eas Vegas The Solomon Schechter Day School of Las Vegas is inviting members of the community to attend its second annual "Wine Tasting and Chinese Auction'" fundraiser on March 1 at Temple Beth Sholom. The year's event will honor the memory of Sidney Chaplin and launch a memorial scholarship fund in his name. Its namesake, Sidney Chaplin, was a leader in the Las Vegas community for more than thirty years. His role as Vice President/ General Manager of Southern Wine and Spirits of America was that of leader and humanitarian. He gave generously to Temple Beth Sholom and to the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute, as well as to other causes and institutions that struck his heart and to individuals who touched his soul. Sidney lived by his own code for helping others, often anonymously, and when publicly he set a philanthropic precedent. It is with great pleasure and pride that Solomon Schechter has this opportunity to honor his memory. The wine tasting is being generously donated by Southern Wine and Sprits, and the food will be catered by Gustav Mauler. All proceeds will go toward the Schechter Sidney Chaplin Memorial Scholarship Fund which will provide scholarships for families in the community who want to give their children a high-quality Schechter education, but need a little help to make it happen. Everything will go toward students. Lara Stone, whose three children attend the school, is planning the event. "Our school is growing and expanding so quickly; this event will allow us to celebrate our continuing success with parents, teachers and community members," Stone said. Jon Mitzmacher Director of Education Yonina Schnec Assistant Religious School Director Education Midbar Kodesh Temple's Kindergarten Visits Solomon Schechter Day School On Wednesday, January 23rd, the Kindergarten Class from Midbar Kodesh Temple paid a visit to the Solomon Schechter Day School of Las Vegas. The MKT K Program is based on the Solomon Schechter model and represents an important part of the partnership between MKI1 and SSDS-LV Each year graduates from MKT enroll at SSDS-LV and contribute to the school'sgrowth and success. During their visit, the kindergartners had an opportunity to read books about "Winter", enjoy a shared art project, eat a yummy snack, and to run around on the playground. This visit has become an annual event, but this year the hope is that it is just the first of a series of shared experiences between the sister programs, including a visit from Schechter to Midbar! Religious School For the very first time, we have signed our three sons up for summer at Camp Ramah in Ojai. I'm not sure why we have waited this long, but it is a very exciting prospect in our family. Of course I worry about how they will get along without us for two to four weeks, but deep down I know that the question should be turned around- how will we get along with a house empty of children for two full weeks? 1 attended Camp Ramah as a young teenager, and 1 still have great memories, even though it was decades ago. 1 know that my sons, also, will have a great time this su m me r. It has been proven that when Jewish children attend some form of Jewish camp and/or travel with their peers to Israel during their High School years, they are more likely to maintain a strong connection with the Jewish community as adults. I would like to encourage anvone who is considering a summer camp for their children this summer to send them to a Jewish camp such as Camp Ramah. There is so much to be said for the informal intense Jewish experience accompanied by the great activities offered every day! Town Hall Meetings 1 want to thank all of the parents who attended our Town Hall meetings in early February, and brought up issues they had with the format of the Religious School. Most of the issues were not surprising to us, however we are planning some exciting changes that we feel will address many of the issues. More information will be coming out in the registration materials for next year. Midrasha In February, our teen participants in the leadership workshop program were assigned to classroom and tutoring positions in the Religious School. They will be earning community service hours and giving their precious Sunday morning time to their Jewish community, as well as having the opportunity to hear speakers who are important leaders in the Las Vegas Jewish community. They will hear from Todd Polikoff of Las Vegas AIPAC, Eric Goldstein of the Southern Nevada JCC, as well as representatives of the local Jewish Federation. For information about speakers, dates, and/or volunteering opportunities, please email me at yschnee@bethsholomlv.org Kitah Dalet Kabbalat Shabbat Service The Students of Kitah Dalet led the Shabbat Service on Friday, Febinary 22, and did a delightful job. We are all proud of our 4th grade students, and they amazed us with their prayer skills. They also put on a presentation about the Torah portion of the week, Ki Pisa, in honor of their special Shabbat! Purim Carnival Help needed! Our annual Purim carnival will be held on March 16th.

L'Dor \ "Dor had another successful event. This time we celebrated Purim with our seniors. We had over 250 guests and over 50 volunteers to one of the nicest events of the year.

It is wonderful to see the youngest generation entertaining the oldest. Everyone really enjoys these special moments. The Silver Belles, singers and tap dancers, enthralled the audience with their special brand of entertainment. Our guests then moved into the Social Hall for an enjoyable lunch. As usual, it was catered by Gustav Mauler and served by our merry band of waiters and waitresses. The feeling of the mitzvah cannot be surpassed. All in all it is a wonderful 3 hours and everyone enjoys themselves - many indicating they look forward to these events all year long.

B'nai Mitzvah candidates Jared with Dad Jeff Michelrnan Men's Club News By Harvey Gitel The Men's Club would like to thank Cantor Friedman for the outstanding presentation on niguns. It is a pity that we could not record the presentation so the entire congregation could enjoy listening. The February meeting presentation by Micheal Brenner, president of the Jewish Genealogy Association of Southern Nevada, truly brought us back to our roots. Febraury 3rd brought together approximately 30 congregants and 60 Hebrew school students and their parents for the World Wide Wrap. The students were great as part of the program which featured the Rabbi teaching about tefillin. It was truly a joy to see the students participating .The Men's Club presented the Temple two new pairs of tefillin for use by visitors and congregants in the morning minyan. The TBS Men's Club in its continuing desire to help B'nai Mitzvot and Schecter School Students excel in their endeavors is proud to have honored Ethan Concors as Most Improved Student of the Month at the January meeting.
