Given the events of the past year ? the takeover of the Palestinian Authority government by Hamas terrorists, the war with Hizballah, and the continuing threat of a nuclear Iran ? it is more important than ever that we stand united in support of our brothers and sisters in Israel. As you may know, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is America's pro-Israel lobby. AIPAC is charged with making sure that Congress and the U.S. Administration continue to work toward an ever-stronger U.S.-Israel friendship. Each year, AIPAC hosts its Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. including forums with the world's foremost experts in politics, public policy and the Middle East. Speakers include members of the Administration, leading congressional leaders of both parties and key Israeli officials. Most importantly, delegates have the chance to travel to Capitol Hill to meet face-to-face with our elected officials about the issues shaping America, Israel and the Middle East. With all that is happening in the world, this year's Policy Conference is more important than ever. I believe it is vital that the American Jewish community stand with Israel in this difficult time. Therefore, I am personally asking you to join (me and) a group of your fellow congregants at AIPAC's Policy Conference from March I I -13 in Washington, D.C. Though I have heard wonderful things about this gathering of over 5000 pro- Israel activists. I will be attending my first Policy Conference. If you have never been, I look forward to sharing this experience with you. If you've been before, please consider going again. You can learn more about AIPAC's f Policy Conference by contacting me at the synagogue office or on the web at www.aipac.org. Our congregation is proud of its commitment to the safety and security of Israel ? a commitment 1 know you share. Please call me at the synagogue office for more information about attending the Policy Conference or visit AIPAC's website at www.aipac.org. In the Spirit of Family While thinking about the Temple, the concept of the Temple as a "Family" truly hit home with me. As 1 look at our Temple calendar, there are a number of programs that bring home this point. On Saturday, February 3, the temple will host a group of talented teenage performers from Qiryak Bialik in Israel. Over the years, we have hosted many guests from Israel, treating them as family, feeling their triumphs and struggles and providing support to them in many ways. On Saturday, February 17, our new Adult Program Committee, under the guidance of Elsa and Allen Chiss will be hosting a program entitled, The Marriage Came. I encourage you to attend to get to know some of our temple couples in an up close and personal way. The beginning of March brings Purim and the Megillah of Esther. I hope you will make plans to be part of the temple family at this year's Purim celebration. We'll have traditional Megillah readings and a Purim shpiel; which you will not want to miss. We recently announced that Congresswoman Shelley Berkley will be the honoree at this year's Temple gala on April 29. We are so proud to be honoring a woman who has been part of our temple family for over 40 years; someone who often acknowledges the impact our synagogue made on her life. Unfortunately, along with the good, comes the bad. We have had a number of deaths within our congregational family. As with any family, the members of the congregation were here to support one another through this unusually hard time. Walking through the halls of the temple, I am constantly touched by the warmth of our staff and volunteers. I watch the children in our schools learning things that inspire them to live a Jewish life. I see the way we care for our community's elders at L'Dor VDor programs and at Shabbat services. I know that the spirit of family we have created here will truly be the foundation for the future of our congregation and for many of our congregational families. Ed Seltzer President First of all, everyone who was at the Rabbi's birthday Shabbat undoubtedly felt part of the TBS family. It was wonderful to experience this celebration, not only of the Rabbi's birthday, but also the celebration of the Rabbi and Liz's becoming United States citizens. There was a great deal of nachas in the sanctuary that night! Girl Scout Cookies Our own Troop 23 will be selling Girl Scout Cookies at TBS around Purim. Make sure to come by and help support our Girl Scout Troop. Friedman Friedman Pavilion Update During the past month, the capital campaign for the Friedman Multi- Generational Pavilion continued to grow with the support of new donors, bringing the total raised to over $5.5 million to date. During this time, the Temple's Board of Directors approved the allocation of funds needed to enter into agreements with consultants and engineers on the project. The information generated by these consultants will allow the committee to better refine the project and determine a more accurate project cost. Thank you to all of our current donors.

Born in Maryland Corey moved to California at nine years of age. As Judaism was an important part of the Wachs household, Corey received a strong Jewish foundation from his family. After receiving his undergraduate degree from UNLV, he went on a sabbatical to Cancun where he taught scuba diving. After knowing all the fish on a first name basis he then returned to I _,os Angeles where he earned his Doctorate in Chiropractic. Corey is a dive master and pilot. Born in Los Angeles, Daliah was raised as a Conservative Jew by her mother, Karen and Israeli father Jehuda, who served in the Israeli Air Force in the early sixties. She attended Temple Beth Sholom on Oakey for a short period of time while living in Las Vegas, but when her family moved to AZ, was Bat Mitzvah'ed in Scottsdale. 1 ler family returned to I .as Vegas her senior year of high school and she went on to UNLV, meeting Corey. After completing medical school, she underwent her residency in Vegas at the University of Nevada, School of Medicine, became board certified in Family Practice and she and Corey formed their clinic, Integrative Family Medicine. Corey and Daliah have two children, Stone, age 6, and Broc, age 4. Stone currently attends the Sunday school, and Broc is the one that keeps knocking on the fish tank. They have two kittens named Shake and Bake. According to Daliah and Corey, "Daliah's father, Jehuda, passed away in November of 2004. We sec our dedication of a classroom in the Friedman Multi- (Generational Pavilion as a wonderful way to memorialize his dedication to Judaism, education, family and the preservation of Israel." For more information on how you can make a cash or in-kind contribution to Temple Beth Sholom's Friedman Multi- Generational Pavilion project, please contact Laura Sussman in the Temple office at 804-1333, ext. 133. Education ^Ybnina Schnee Jon Mitzmacher Solomon Schechter Day School of Las Vegas THE SOLOMON SCHECHTER DAY SCHOOL OK LAS VEGAS ANNOUNCES EXPANSION IN FO FOURTH GRADE! SSDS-LVispleasedtoannounce its planned expansion into Fourth Grade as it prepares to kick off registration for 2007- 2008. The school in just three short years has grown from a First Grade of six students to a K-3 elementary school of forty-eight. Next year the school will add its next grade as it nears the fulfillment of its original vision of a fully grown out K-5 elementary school. Registration for next year for new families kicks off the week of February 12th. SCHECI ITER STUDENTS SEE STARS! On January 28th, the SSDS-LV Parent Organization took Schechter students on a "tour of the solar system" when it brought in an inflatable Sky Dome Planetarium to Schechter. Families entered "the dome to be introduced to a 'star filled' sky. In true Schechter fashion, we began by celebrating I lavdalah as a school community before students "learned how to identify stars and constellations." SCI IECI ITER C I . I B LAUNCHES CHESS As part of its commitment to providing diverse opportunities for after-school programming, the SSDS-LV is proud to announce the founding of a Chess Club. Beginning on January 31st, Schechter students will have a chance to learn the game of chess and foster strategic and critical thinking skills. The Judy and Ronald Mack School of Religious Studies On January 7th, Rabbinic Intern Benny Katz shared his energetic wisdom with the Religious School, visiting each grade to discuss the weekly Torah portion, prayers, and answering the challenging questions posed by our students in our periodic "Ask the Rabbi" sessions. What depth of thought the children displayed! On January 21st, we were thrilled to see so many Religious School parents came to discuss their children's progress at Parent-Teacher Conferences. A dialogue between faculty and families is crucial to providing a top-notch Jewish education, and of course we all appreciate feedback throughout the year. It is apparent that when we all work together, the education of our children will be given the best possible chance at becoming an enriching and meaningful experience. On January 26th, Kitah I lay (Fifth Grade) led the Kabbalat Shabbat service, and all were impressed at the energy and preparation they put in, to show how much they've been learning this year! Come share the naches when Kitah Dalet (Fourth Grade) has their turn to shine on Friday, March 23rd! Midrasha Fhe teens of TBS also came together in January to explore their world through a Jewish lens, and to find ways to bring our ancient traditions to life in modern times. Delving into subjects such as social justice and civil rights, our teens are beginning to understand how history tends to repeat itself, but that each generation has the opportunity to better our world and ourselves. Teens coming together to grapple with the issues, discuss possible solutions to the challenges we face, and sharing the experience of being Jewish with their peers is an important key to furthering the future of the Jewish people. I .ed by Cindy Fox and Rabbinic Intern Benny Katz, teens are becoming inspired to learn, create, and act. Ilkkun Olam, improving the world, is what they art; preparing for! Adult Education Thursday nights find many of our adult congregants in the classrooms, learning to read I lebrew, filling in the gaps in their knowledge of Jewish traditions, and familiarizing themselves with the Shabbat and 1 loliday services. It is apparent that I BS believes in a lifelong learning process, and the example the adults set for our younger members is ultimately the best gift that they can give! By now you should have received the Spring Supplement for Adult Education, but p* lease call Lillian Radomsky at extension 114 if you would like a supplement mailed to you, if you would like to join the Adult Education Commission, of if you have any questions about Adult Education at TBS. The Sandra & Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center Jennifer Zukowski Sandra & Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center Beginning in November, The Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center began working toward national accreditation through NAEYC. Established in 1926, the National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) sets guidelines and standards that define what a quality program should look like. All college-level preschool education courses, university preschool programs, and other top-notch preschools are accredited by NAEYC, meaning they meet an exhaustive list of extremely tough guidelines. Programs that can prove through particular sources of evidence including observations, documentation, and surveys, that they meet NAEYC's 10 standards can become accredited. Knowing that we have an amazing program at the Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Temple News Childhood Center, we realize that although time-consuming and paper-intensive, accreditation is the way to go to prove that we tire doing what is right for our children. In order to reach this accreditation goal, the teachers and staff have begun an intensive review of themselves, their classroom performance, and environment in order to honestly evaluate how our program functions and to see whether improvements or changes are needed. The entire ECC is involved in this rigorous self-study, including the parents. We look forward to the knowledge and validation that this process will bring us. The Men's Club Mind Bv Marlowe JVIogill I lope this note finds all in good health. I have a list. It goes like this: 1. Congrats to Jeff Michelman and the entire Softball team for their absolutely spectacular season. Competing against countless formidable Jewish opponents, they finished the season in 2nd place. They have made us, the Men's Club who sponsors the team and TBS very proud. 2. On January 10th, the, Cruise Raffle Drawing and Dinner were held. We sold many rallies. We should have sold many more, but --. Anyhow, after a major substantial dinner which was attended not only by Men's Club members, but their significant others - the drawing was held. Our own Carol Jeffries who did so much work helping us out on the raffle, "picked" the prize envelope. The winner was 11. LH Good for you! I spoke with I I.E. and he thanked us many, many times. I le was really incredibly shocked that he had won. A $2,000.00 cruise gift certifcate isn't too hard to take. 3. The World Wide Wrap will take place on Sunday, February 4th at 9:00 in the Steinberg Sanctuary. Please come and help us make this a success. Tefillin are the order of the day - but, if you don't have your own, we will supply them for you, as well as instructions on how to wear them. Bring your red yarmulkes. If you "misplaced" yours, we have your size in stock. Oh yes, a lovely breakfast to follow - for participants only. 4. The Men's Club Shabbot is scheduled for Saturday, March 24th. The guys in the club will do the entire service. There are still some spots available. These are English speaking assignments - so step right up to the microphone. Please contact Dick Eskinazi at brglido@yahoo.com ASAP. 5. With a heavy heart, we mourn the passing of Alma Brooks, wife of'Rabbi 1 lershel Brooks. Alma gave so much to us and expected so little in return. Although her physicality is no longer with us, her spirituality will never, no never leave us. 6. Our condolences to Cantor Friedman, and the entire Friedman family, on the unexpected passing of his beloved mother. May you know only naches and simchas. 6. The Men's Chevra Kadisha is in an absolute need of more volunteers. Helping to prepare the dead for their internment is a bigmitzvah. It is one of those "things" which has an incredible positive impact on the participating members. You must be available during the week. Please contact me, Marlowe at mbmogill@cox.net, for more information. Families request our services all the time. Do not let them down. Do not let your family down. Stay well. Keep Israel in your prayers. Men's Chevra Kadisha By Marlowe JMogill TBS has a "burial society." Everyone here, will, in time, be in need of burial help. The Chevra Kadisha helps to prepare the departed for their internment. The Men's Chevra Kadisha is in dire need of volunteers for this exceptional mitzvah. No, it is not an ugly or scary thing to do. Yes, it is not for everybody. But, if you are available, or can be available during t he week to help out, that would be most wonderful. I lopefully, your personal family, when requesting a tahara, (ritual preparation), of a loved one is told that another "agency" will do this because TBS just doesn't have the manpower, don't be upset. Please think about this. We really need help! Thank you. Marlowe Mogill mbmogill@cox.net. 2nd Annual Book Binding Clinic, Sunday, February 25 Perform a mitzvah and learn a new skill at Temple Beth Sholom's 2nd Annual Book Binding Clinic, from 1:00-4:00 PM on Sunday, February 25.
