Bet Knesset Bamidbar Newsletter, February 2000

Bet Knesset Bamidbar Volume IX Issue 2 * m m r i t ^D n n NEWSLETTER Shevat - Adar I 5760 February 2000 MANY CHILDREN DWELL IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE Brotherhood - Sisterhood Week February 14 -18 PRESIDENT SHEL KOLNER What a way to start as the new President I am writing my second article for the Newsletter right after being installed as the President Our first Shabbat service went fairly smoothly. The sound system will be adjusted prior to the next service so we will be able to be heard in the back of the room. In addition to our regular Shabbat Services of January we had our annual Installation Luncheon on January 16, 2000. This was a major success due to the fine work of the committee who planned and executed it Rosanna Smith, Gloria Wishengrad, Helen Levitsky, Eileen Gold, Lottie Kaufman, Sophie Fogelman and Trudy Kolner did a first class job making sure the new board and officers were installed with class and that everyone who attended had a good time. Sydell Miller did her usual fine job installing all of us. Our first adult B'not Mitzvah took place during the January 29, 2000, Shabbat Morning Service where 24 of our finest young women were called to the Torah for the first time in their lives. What a morning it turned out to be. Rabbi and Alma Brooks did the training over the past 3 months. Many interesting and informative exchanges took place during the training but one of the most exciting occurrences for many of the women was their first up close and personal encounter with the Torah. I never realized how many people have not seen an open Torah up close. Many of the women were excited and expressed this as one of their highlights of the training. Plans for our 2nd annual Passover Seder on April 19, 2000 are being formulated. Be sure to see the information on this elsewhere in the Newsletter. This will be another of our fine events. Please contact Addie Klionsky if you have any questions. The Sisterhood, Men's Club and Singles are planning other events. Be sure to read their articles and join in. They are planning many more events for the coming months. Remember you get out of the Temple what you put into it. If you dont participate in the Temple functions you will miss outl There has been a lot of time spent developing the structure and operation of the Temple as it is today. It may be time to turn outwardly now. It would be good for us to extend our Out-reach programs and do more for others. The Sisterhood has an Out-reach program doing Shabbat Services at 4 of the retirement centers in the area. I would like us to reach out to other groups or individuals in need of help. It is our Jewish tradition to help those in need and we certainly have the resources - both human and financial - to do so. More io come on this in the future. If you have any suggestions on the above or on anything else, please let the board or me know. I have received a couple suggestions already and these will be handled at future Board meetings. Shaloml ONEG SHABBAT SPONSORS On January 14, 2000, we celebrated with: Paul & Beatrice Stotland on their 60th Anniversary Helen & Leonard Levitsky on their 58m Anniversary Dorothy & Raymond Duckat on their 58th Anniversary Fran & Bill Levin on their 58th Anniversary & Fran's Birthday Israel & Tillie Habif on their 50th Anniversary Chester & Arlene Maas on their 44w Anniversary Maurice & Bobby Coronel on Bobby's Birthday Please call Rhea Sturza at 255-4660 Trudy & Shel Kolner on their 37th Anniversary fo sponsor an Oneg Shabbat Richard & Rosanna Smith on their 32nd Anniversary Rennie Gelman & Joel Glabman In Honor of their Engagement FROM RABBI'S DESK HERSHEL BROOKS In honor of our Presidents, I share with you a letter written by the Jewish community of Newport, Rhode Island to George Washington, and his reply, in which the President set the standard for religious freedom and civil liberties in America. How proud we should be of our pioneer Jewish community and honored to be Americans! To the President of the United States of America- Sir. Permit the children of the Stock of Abraham to approach you with the most cordial affection and esteem for your person & merits - - and to join with our fellow citizens in welcoming you to Newport With pleasure we reflect on those days -those days of difTiculty & danger, when the God of Israel, who delivered David from the peril of the sword, - shielded Your head in the day of battle:- and we rejoice to think, that the same Spirit, who rested in the Bosom of the greatly beloved Daniel enabling him to preside over the Provinces of the Babylonish Empire, rests and ever will rest, upon you, enabling you to discharge the arduous duties of Chief Magistrate in these States. Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of free Citizens, we now with a deep sense of gratitude to the Almighty disposer of all events behold a Government, erected by the Majesty of the People - a Government, which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance - but generously affording to all Liberty of conscience, and immunities of Citizenship: - deeming everyone, of whatever Nation, tongue, or language equal parts of the great governmental Machine: - This so ample and extensive Federal Union whose basis is Philanthropy, Mutual confidence and Public Virtue, we cannot but acknowledge to be the work of the Great God, who ruleth in the Armies of Heaven, and among the Inhabitants of the Earth, doing whatever seemeth him good. For all these Blessings of civil and religious liberty which we enjoy under an equal benign administration, we desire to send up our thanks to the Ancient of Days, the great preserver of Men - beseeching him, that the Angel who conducted our forefathers through the wilderness into the promised Land, may graciously conduct you through all the difficulties and dangers of this mortal life:- And, when, like Joshua full of days and full of honour, you are gathered to your fathers, may you be admitted into the Heavenly Paradise to partake of the water of life, and the tree of immortality. Done and Signed by order of the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island August 17th 1790. Moses Seixas, Warden To the Hebrew Congregation in Newport Rhode Island Gentlemen. While I receive, with much satisfaction, your Address replete with expressions of affection and esteem; I rejoice in the opportunity of assuring you that I shall always retain a grateful remem-brance of the cordial welcome I experienced in my visit to Newport, from all classes of Citizens. The reflection on the days of difficulty and danger which are past is rendered the more sweet, from a consciousness that they are succeeded by days of uncommon prosperity and security... The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation... For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support... May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this [and, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy. G. Washington SISTERHOOD NEWS JANICE BARON, President By the time you read this I'm hoping that our first Sisterhood meeting of the New Year on January 26, 2000 had a big turnout Our speaker was Ed Dodrill, Editor of This Week in Summerlin. Our telephone committee does work very hard to reach each and every woman in our congregation. If you have not been called, please let Anita Korotkin know, at 360-5344. Again, unfortunately, our Bereavement Committee, under the guidance of Freda Greenfield was called upon to prepare a consolation meal after the funeral services for Seymour Klein. This service provides a measure of comfort to a bereaved family at a time of unhappiness, distraction and chaos. Please contact Freda at 242-0109 or Mimi Singer at 255-7256 if you can help at some time. You'll be surprised at how much more you get out of this than the effort expendedl Our next Board Meeting is on February 7th at 9 a.m. at the Nevada State Bank. Our next Sisterhood Meeting will be on February 23n< at 9:30 a.m. at the Rainbow Library. I hope to see you there. MEN'S CL UB NEWS LOU POKAT, President I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year. At our last meeting we had a wonderful breakfast prepared by Ray Izen.

You've heard it described variously as "the law, the ritual, the commandments". But what does the word 'Torah' literally mean? It means " instruction". For example, in Israel today "Torat hanehiga" means 'driving instructions'. The word 'Torah' means instructions. For 3,500 years, in the prayer book that Jews use every day, we have referred to our Torah as "Torat Chaim" - "Instructions for Living". When you have children, you do your best to impart to them whatever wisdom you have about life. Again and again, you'll tell your children, "You have to learn how to read and write". They might say, " Who needs it? I'm going to be a fireman". So you try to explain! "You know, sometimes you might want to write a check or read a letter somebody sent you". They retort: "Hey, if I'm a major league baseball player, I'll have seven secretaries reading to me. It's more important that I practice my game". So what does a good parent do? You hit them on the head and say, "SIT DOWN AND READ AND WRITE". Whatever understanding you have about how to truly get the most pleasure out of life, you will try very very hard to convey to your children. Our Father in heaven does the same thing. He gave his children instructions for living, instructions to be happy. That's what Torah is all about. Take the example of the Mezuzah. People sometimes think it's a ritual. If you think a Mezuzah wards off ghosts, then it becomes an empty ritual to you. But if you open it up and read what is inside, you see that it contains the words, "Thou shall love the Lord your G-d with all your heart," etc. You will leam about the greatest pleasure of life. Our father in heaven told us to put the Mezuzah on our doorposts, so that we will always remember that G-d is with us. Kiss it when you go in and you go out, but not by rote. Ponder what's written inside. This way, you will never lose track of the goals of life. Another one of the "instructions for living" is to say the Shema. What's in the Shema? It is a proclamation of our faith. We repeat it in the morning and we repeat it at night, so that we will always remember the faith that we were bom into and the great pleasure that a faithful life can bring us. These Mitzvots are not empty rituals; they are tools for living. When we understand the meaning behind them, we begin to see what powerful tools they are in our lives. SINGLES' NEWS FAYE ARSHAWSKY, President Hi Everyone, We are looking forward to a wonderful year. We have a very full and interesting year of activities planned. Remember the date, "SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13th. That's the date of our first meeting, a "Getting to Know You Lunch." Please mark your calendar. The meeting will be held in the Sahara West Library at 1:30 p.m. You will get more information in the mail. We again want to wish everyone the happiest and healthiest of New Years.
