Temple Beth Sholom member, Ryan Saxe. has organized a Walk For Darfur which will meet in front of Bally's on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo at 10:00 AM. The 2 mile walk, supported by Temple Beth Sholom will go to the Wynn I lotel and back. Each day in Darfur, hundreds of people are raped, starved and murdered by the Sudanese armed forces and a Sudanese government-backed militia known as the Janjaweed. At least 400,000 people have died and more than 2 million Darfurians have been left homeless. The United Nations Security Council authorized that peacekeepers be deployed to Darfur, but the Sudanese government has not yet allowed them entry. Meanwhile, the calculated campaign of displacement, starvation, rape, and mass slaughter continues.

Temple News An Open Letter To Our Congregation, My Friends Cantor Daniel Friedman From the deepest part of my soul, I thank you all for your comfort during this challenging time for me and my family. I thank you for the cards, for the letters, for the emails, for the donations, for the notes under my door: for the phone calls. 1 thank you for the hugs, for the smiles and words of condolence; for the knowing look in your eye. To the Board of Directors, to the Men's Club, to the Mallin Early Childhood Center staff and students, to the Solomon Schechter Day School staff and students, I am deeply grateful for your gifts of physical and spiritual sustenance. To our dear Rabbi, my friend, Liz and Carol, rav friends, I thank you for your consideration and for making the journey to Los Angeles to be with me and my family. To the Arums, Molaskys, Schorrs, Wynns, Pascals and Earlys, I thank you; to .Alan Shlachter for sitting with me in Los .Angeles. My mother loved her visits with us during the High Holy Days and came to consider Temple Beth Sholom her second synagogue family. Music and being Jewish were two things that brought her much joy. She was committed to Jewish education and along with my father endowed the Adat Ari El Religious School in Valley Village, California. She will be missed and yet will always be remembered for the passion in which she lived her life; her never ending supportive nature and equality in which she treated all people. She was, is and always will be our Eyshet Chayil, our woman of valor. T'hi nishmatah tzurah bitzror hachayim. May her soul be bound up in the bond of life. Again, from me and my family, thank you. I look forward to seeing you all at temple. Purim Greetings Ed Seltzer President Purim,aholiday commemorating the deliverance of the Jews from the evil grips of Haman's plot, is celebrated March 3 and 4 at Temple Beth Sholom and at synagogues all over the world. I hope you enjoy the Mishloach Manot that you received in the mail from your Temple familv. However, no Purim is complete without hamentashen: and we will have plenty of them at the Temple after the Megillah readings on March 3 and 4, along with some spirits for the adults. This year we invite you to a Purim Shpiel, the first in many years. Come see your fellow congregants and our clergy perform the Megillah with a Wizard of Oz twist. You won't be disappointed! Purim concludes with the annual Religious School Purim Carnival. This year, the Committee has gone the extra mile to bring in new activities for young and old; from pony rides to goldfish, this will definitely be the place to be on March 4. While we are celebrating our Jewish heritage during Purim, 1 encourage you to think about how you can help continue to see that Temple Beth Sholom is at the forefront of Judaism in the Las Vegas area. As you know, we are quickly coming up on our annual fundraising gala, honoring Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. We are also in the midst of a capital campaign for the new Friedman Multi-Generational Pavilion. These two campaigns, one to support our annual operation and the other to ensure our future, need your support. Please think about your participation in these projects. Happy Purim from all of us at Temple Beth Sholom. I look forward to celebrating and toasting our freedom and health with you! Friedman Pavilion Friedman Pavilion Update Groundbreaking Date Set FxC The campaign for the Friedman Multi- Generational Pavilion moved closer to $6 million last month with the addition of new donors. During the same time, the Building Committee finalized plans for this new facility which will accommodate a wide range of activity spaces for older adults and our school programs. A Ground Breaking Ceremony is planned for Sunday, May 6 at 11 AM. Be sure to mark the date on your calendar to attend this historic event. Watch your mailbox for more information. Additional donors are needed to get to our goal, and the entire congregation is being asked to consider making a meaningful gift to this campaign. To discuss a donor option that works for you, contact Laura Sussman at 804-1333, ext. 133. Donor Spotlight Flora and Stuart Mason Stuart and Flora Mason joined Temple Beth Sholom soon after moving to Las Vegas in 1965. "We knew I lie best way to meet people was to join the Temple and were warmly welcomed into a family of coi igregai i ts which encompassed every aspect of I .as Vegas Jewry, from Orthodox to Reform," says Flora. The Temple, and its adjunct, the Jewish Center Social Club, became the focus of their family life. Over the years, Flora and Stuart served in many capacities: Stuart as Temple Board member and later Temple President, Flora on the Sisterhood Board, then as the first woman elected by the general membership to the Temple Board. The Mason's three children: Debbie, Bill, and Jim, all attended the Temple Preschool and Religious School. Bill and Jim were very active in USY groups and served as Presidents of Jr. and Sr. USY at various times. They became Bar Mitzvah at the Temple, enjoyed act ivities at the Kolod recreation center at the 16th Street I BS, and were counselors at the Summer Camp. It's no wonder Jim and Bill went on to be the contractors for the new Temple Beth Sholom on I lavenwood! "We remember the community's Jewish youth congregating at the Kolod Center for basketball, soltball, and youth group meetings; USY, BBC,AZAall met there. Our kids made lifelong friends. We hosted USY On Wheels, and George Charlie Uevinson and would cook for those weekends. I guess that's one reason we said "Yes" when Abbie and David Friedman asked us to join with them in building a new Multi-Cenerational facility." says Stuart. Another reason may reflect perhaps a unique aspect and strength of the I .as Vegas Jewish community. It was common to have friends from different generations, unlike in Miami, where the Masons were raised and friends tended to be of the same age. TTicy gained from these intergenerational relationships which provided "grandparents" before Stuart's parents moved here and, in later years, younger "siblings" and surrogate nieces and nephews. The Masons see the Friedman Multi-Generational Pavilion as extending this idea even further by organizing interaction between our seniors and our school-age children, and by providing a home for the program initiated by Ruth Goldfarb, I JDor VDor. "It's a plus for everyone," says Flora. "At a recent I ;l)or V'Dor concert, 1 saw a three-year-old child go up to an older woman who was using oxygen. The little girl asked about the oxygen and the woman, who had been beaming as she watched the child clapping and dancing during the musical presentation, explained why she needed the medical device. It was a quick meeting-- a few words, mutual smiles and hugs-- but it told the whole story of what we are trying to do."

Organized by ITie Library of 'ITie Jewish Theological Seminary, this exhibition features facsimiles of the Praia Haggadah, a manuscript produced in Spain circa 1300. The manuscript found it's way to Italy during the Inquisition and has only recently been recovered. The exhibition also features materials related to medieval manuscript production, including pigments and painting and writing tools. Hie Prato Haggadah is one of the most important manuscripts in the collections of The library of The Jewish Theological Seminary. It is one of the oldest of all illuminated Spanish Haggadot, and one of the few unfinished illuminated I lebrew manuscripts. The Library of J IS recently restored the manuscript, and produced facsimiles of many of the pages, -+4 of which will l)e on view in the exhibition. rj'-vypH^'jwni-c-j -y-ry^X'N [W1' * papNa^n-ap text, such as depictions of the Four Sons, the matzah, the rnaror and a medieval rendering of the Land of Goshen. Ille Prato llaggadah contains motifs common in medieval manuscripts, and many folios reflect the artist's sense of humor: a hare hunt extends across several folios: hybrids are depicted playing contemporary musical instruments; a simian figure holds a gold ball; several dual-bodied heads stare wildly at the reader, and the word "I lallelujah" sfiews forth from the open mouth of a hybrid. The text is also distinctive. Included are standard biblical, talmudic, and midrashic texts, as well as the liturgical poetry. What is lacking are all elements associated with the Passover meal. The manuscript, most likely, may have I wen written to be read publicly ill the synagogue. ITie art of the Prato Haggadah is witty and imaginative. The manuscript is replete with decorated initial word panels, foliate ornamentation, and hybrid figures. Several illustrations relate directly to the The exhibition Monday through p.m; Friday throug p.m. ?KS><D# Temple Beth Sholom Person of the Year Gala CONqRESSU/OMAN ShEllEy BERkky Dr. David Kraemer, lecturer, is the Director of The I ibrary of the Jewish Theological Seminary.

Marlowe mbmogill@cox.net Women's League News By Kim Memar As many of you know I have been quite overwhelmed lately with more than my "normal" workload. My sister, Lisa, has stage 4 cancer and the prognosis is in God's hands. It is times such as these, when we really find out how very blessed we are willi havinggreat friends, dear family, good health, and a loving God that we can look to for miracles of the heart, spirit, and body. I pray every day that things will get better and am so thankful to everyone who has been helping lis through this difficult time. On a happier note, I was so very proud of our lorah Fund campaign and wonderful luncheon that we had on February 11th. If you were there, (hen you know how delighted we all were to have our special honorees: Flora and Sara Mason. They have both done so much for I BS and the Jewish community at large that I could not help feeling so very proud and grateful for their acceptance of the honor. Also we were very delighted to be able to share the day with Congresswoman Shelley Berkley who presented awards to the two women. Our own Regional Women's League President, Iris Lasky, along with her husband Mort were able to come in for the event as well. I his made the day even more special for all of us. Iris just "kvelled" at the beautiful synagogue that we have and how wonderful the event was. I could not have been more proud--you would tlimk--but just when I thought it couldn't get better, Cantor David Schnee, along with DJ Sinai, entertained us with their inspiring music and Rabbi Goodman inspired us once again with his thoughtful words. I would also like to thank the many people who helped with the event from the planning to the centerpieces to the food and entertainment. Kudos to Shirley Chaplin, Blanche Meisel, Elaine Steinberg, Julie Fox, Debbie Miner, Marci Seltzer, Ruth Goldfarb, Debbie Lederer, June Colodny, Beverlee Chervitz, Gustave Mauler, and Southern Wine and Spirits. It was just an amazing example of how such dedicated and talented individuals can come together to create such an unbelievable team. On that note I would like to share a little something with you that by my dear friend Anita Lewy. I believe it is very relevant and meaningful to our Women's L-ague and our Temple Family as well. NOTHING SHOULD DIVIDE US We who have a passing mark on the future of the world must have the same heart must have compassion for one another must have respect for one another must understand that though we have differences we want the same things. Nothing should divide us.

USY Superbowl weekend was a wonderful weekend for USY. It began Friday night with a teen Shabbat dinner shared by USYers, Israeli teens, and host families. Dinner was a time of meeting new people and forging new friendships. Saturday night was the Israeli teen concert. Many USYers were in attendance and enjoyed the wonderful performance. Sunday afternoon USYers and the Israeli teens all gathered at the Tredup's house to enjoy the day. Everyone had fun either by hanging out in the hot tub and pool, plaving music together or watching the Superbowl while snacking on tons of food. An activity was run, by Cindi Fox, where the USYers were given the opportunity to ask the Israeli teens questions, and the Israeli teens were given the opportunity to ask the USYers questions. It was amazing to see how similar the USYers and the Israeli teens truly were to one another. Many of the USYers then ventured over to the nearby park to piav football. At that point, they realized that they didn't really know how to play, so all teens just ran around and threw the ball. Many new friendships were formed while the Israelis were here, and plans were made to visit while some of us from here are in Israel. USY teens are looking forward to working with Benny Katx to create a unique Teen Shabbat Service. If you would like to be part of this new venture, call or email Lauren Frydman, 355-4208 or counseIkids8@ yahoo.com for specific dates. Jennifer Zukowski Early Childhood Director What's Jewish about polar bears? Temple Beth Sholom's Preschool at the Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center bases its philosophy on integrating curriculum throughout as many topic areas as possible to ensure the teaching and exposure of our children to a wide variety of interrelated concepts. As a wonderful concrete example of this, one of our pre-kindergarten classes recently began studying polar bears. The children were immersed in the topic of polar bears throughout the various concept areas of science, math, language arts, dramatic play, and yes, Jewish values. In learning about polar bears, the children became aware of their current plight due to pollution, oil drilling, global warming, and other environmental factors affecting them. These discussions let! to the introduction of the concept of Tikkun 01am, or repairing the Earth. As the children talked about what they could do to help the polar bears, they came up with the idea of collecting tzedakah in order to adopt a mother and a cub for the classroom to ('are for. I ielping two polar bears is a fantastic mitzvah, but the children still felt like they should do more. After brainstorming possible ideas for how to get the word out about helping these amazing animals, the class decided to write a letter to President Bush detailing their studies and ways that they believe he can help the polar bears. The children enjoyed learning about the letter writing process. Each child contributed his own special thoughts to the letter and signed his own name, then drew a picture illustrating suggestions to the President many ways he could help the polar [wars. The children then learned how to address the letter, affix a stamp, and put it into the mail box for the mail carrier to pick up. The children are all anxiously awaiting a replv from the President himself. Camp ICton Ton With the temperatures beginning to warm up, it is time to start thinking about summer camp again. We arc looking forward to another fun and fantastic summer including new themes, special visitors and lots of creative activities. We take special pride in having our camp sessions lead by our very own experienced staff. You cart feel confident that your child will be safe and have a summer of fun at Camp ICton ton.
