KOL BAMIDBAR PAGE 2 February 2000 FROM THE ACTING PRESIDENT: Later this month, at a regularly scheduled board meeting, a slate of officers will be presented to the recently elected board. At that time I will officially take the reigns of President of Midbar Kodesh Temple and Barry Fieldman and Mark Goldstein will sit comfortably at the table as Immediate Past President and Founding President. The transition should be a smooth one since it has been in the planning stages for almost 18 months. When Barry completed his first 2-year term as President, he agreed to be elected for a second term, with the understanding that he would step down after one year. During that year he would oversee the building of the new temple and I would oversee the daily workings of the synagogue. Since the ground breaking, just 13 months ago, we have worked together to implement temple policy that has been designed by the board of directors in the spirit of the founding members. Educating the Jewish children of our community, offering appropriate life cycle functions for our members, providing religious services and education for our community and remaining an "inclusive" rather than "exclusive" congregation, have always been our priorities. THE MOVE and THE RABBI have been equally important and by this time next month we shall have accomplished all. It has been an exciting and demanding six years and when we walk the Torahs out of Cactus Garden and place them in the ark at Paseo Verde, ours will be a shared sigh of relief, as well as celebration. Being the President of Midbar Kodesh Temple is not a solo task. The past two Presidents have depended on their families for emotional, hands-on and financial support. The youngest pre-schooler to the third and fourth generation have stood behind the presidency every single day. There are errands to run, programs to plan, checks to write, phone calls to answer, businesses to keep in motion. And like Gail Alcalay and Amy Fieldman, who will continue to help guide Midbar, Marcy will also take an active role. The office staff, clergy, professional staff and lay leadership are depended upon to keep everything moving. The membership is the final and most important component of the team. It is the needs of the general membership that must be met if we are to be successful. We need to continue to listen, to be available to help each other be successful in our task. Filling the shoes of the past Presidents will not be easy....Mark wears hiking boots, has a vision and took us out into the desert. Barry wears high construction boots, stands firm and is able to dig us out of all kinds of situations. I am shopping for my shoes now...they will be comfortable and durable as we make our move, welcome our Rabbi and set the pace for the next decade. To those of you who have paved the way, a humble thank you. For those who are now joining the family, wlecome to the future Midbar Kodesh 2000 ~ Bridging The Generations! Gerald Welt, Acting President E-MAIL IS A GREAT TOOL TO HELP OUR SYNAGOGUE STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE MEMBERSHIP GET WEEKLY UPDATES ON THE BUILDING, ON THE RABBINIC SEARCH COMMITTEE, ON COMMITTEE PROJECTS E-MAIL TO MIDBARKODESH@JUNO.COM TO BE PLACED ON OUR LIST PTN TTCTOT KOL BAMIDBAR Editor: Hal Rothman Acting President: Gerald Welt Cantor: Robert D. Fisher Office Administrator: Maria Scher PUBLISHED MONTHLY It has been my privilege to work with an outstanding group of people. These people represent our youth within Midbar Kodesh Tem-ple. From grades second through twelfth a lot of time and energy goes into programming and watching these people grow into fine young Jewish leaders of today. Katan, grades second through third, has an event once a month. There are thirteen active members and we ALWAYS have a good time whatever we do. The success of this program soars when the Katanim all get together and have a wonderful afternoon. Not be-cause they are forced to but because they want to be there, to hang out with other Jewish kids their age. Kadima Kinnus is coming up. This year there will be two different dates for Kadima Kinnus: March 31st-April 2nd and May 5th-7th, 2000 held at Camp Ramah in Ojai. However, this does not mean that Kadimaniks can choose which weekend to attend. Each week-end is for a specific grade. This change is due in part to the increase in size of Kadima Kinnus over the past few years. In order to accommodate all of the Kadimaniks interested, the schedule will be as follows: 4th and 5th graders only will be at the end of March and the 6th graders will be in the beginning of May. Applications will soon be in the mail. You must be a member of Kadima to at-tend the weekend. USY meets once a week. This program at Midbar Kodesh is growing rapidly. We currently have 24 paid members. This number will only get bigger by the year's end. I am proud to announce that USY will be putting on the 1st annual Purim carnival this year. The carnival will be for the entire congregation on Sunday, March 19,2000 at Midbar Kodesh Temple. Hope to see you all there. If you have any questions about the youth program or would like to help with Purim carnival, please contact Marci, 454-4848.

Religious School Mira Slobody, Director The Hebrew School of Midbar Kodesh has entered the millennium successfully. Our Hebrew school enrollment has been growing which is a wonderful feeling. As we celebrated the secular New Year, along with the holiday of Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish New Year for the trees, our teachers were able to teach some important elements. Our teachers try to instill in our students the lesson of using their G-d given talents, the importance of filling each day of our lives with meaning and taking the time to reflect on all of our blessings and to say thank you. We look forward with anticipation to our move into our new home. Wishing everyone a year filled with health and happiness. New Jewish Video Collection in Southern Nevada Hillel at UNLV has just opened the Kohlenbrenner/Goldstein Jewish Heritage Video collection.

Alan Roselinsky will be orchestrating the Torah Walk from Cactus Garden to Paseo Verde. He will make the final decision on the safety of the walk and on the appropriate route. Each team will be 5 people and we will need to walk about 4.5 miles. Alan will be contacting the membership to see how many people would like to participate in this special honor. The City of Henderson, the police department and Rabbinical input will also help Alan make this decision!

KOL BAMIDBAR PAGE 7 February 2000 Office Update by Maria Scher, Office Administrator As we try to close out our 1999 year, we thank everyone who brought their account current and fulfilled their commitments for the 1999 year. Also, thank you to those of you who prepaid for the 2000 year allow-ing us greater financial freedom during what would have been a very slow time of year. In the office we have had a few changes. The most noticeable is that our bookkeeper, Sabrina, has had to take a full time job during the day and has been working for the Temple three evenings a week and on Sun-days. If you have a question regarding your account please call the office and if I am unable to answer it I will speak with Sabrina and get in touch with you the following day. A quick Jewish story: On Succot (which I know has already passed, but it's good story none-the-less) we shake the lulav and etrog. I recently learned the significance of this act. The lulav, made up of a palm frawn, willow and myrtle branch, and the etrog, the citrus fruit, represent the four types of Jews. The palm has taste but no smell, the willow has smell but no taste, and the myrtle has neither smell nor taste while the etrog has both. These are the Jewish people of the world, those who study Torah but do no mitzvot, those who do mitzvot but do not study Torah, those who neither study Torah nor do mitzvot, and those who do both. I found it interesting and it caused me to rethink which type of Jew I am. B'Shalom! TEEN PROGRAMMING AT MIDBAR KODESH TEMPLE "Jews Among The Nations" is the second unit being taught in the Ma'ayan program at Midbar Kodesh Tem-ple. This 8 week unit discusses the Diaspora, the practices of Jews in other countries and the challenges facing American Jews. This program is taught by Larry Davidson and is designed for post B'nai Mitzvah students through 12th grade. Students may join the class at any time. Two other units will follow this session. Teenagers are also invited to informal youth programming though United Synagogue Youth (USY) at Midbar Kodesh Temple. Local teens interact with students from a six-state region which includes Southern Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Hawaii. Midbar Kodesh USYers have the opportunity to travel several times per year to conventions and programs out of state. For information on teen programming call the synagogue at 454-4848. ALL CALL FOR COMMITTEES Midbar Kodesh needs YOU! The following committees are looking for members to assist with activities: Education Committee Kitchen Committee Transition Committee Membership Committee Fundraising Committee Social Committee Visitation Committee To volunteer your time on one of these committees, please contact the Temple at 454-4848. Thank you! Barry Fieldman, thank you for all you have done. We will always remember all your dedication to our temple and we will never know how to thank you the right way. Sincerely, Jorge, Silvia, Demian, Natali, and Bruno Gitnacht KOL BAMIDBAR PAGE 8 February 2000 TEMPLE DUES Midbar Kodesh Temple's "Sustaining Member Category" was established to enhance the annnual support of the synagogue. A recent change was implemented to enable members in three different categories to enroll their children in Hebrew School at a discounted or complimentary rate. Along with other perks Sponsors ($2,700) receive one 1/2 tuition; Benefactors ($3,600) receive one full tuition and Founders ($5,400) can receive complimentary tuition for up to four students. While the Sustaining Member rate ($1,800) does not include Hebrew School tuition, it has become a popular upgrade from the Standard Family and Dual Member dues ($1125 + $200 LID). A thank you to those who have already signed up as "Sustaining Members". Consult your monthly billing statement for more information. ANOTHER WORD ABOUT DUES: This is the second month that the new "member friendly" monthly statement has been mailed, enabling families to pay dues, pledges and fees either monthly, or in greater part. The bill also shows a quarterly breakdown and requests that families stay current by the end of each quarter. Already, this monthly payment schedule has helped the cash flow at Midbar Kodesh Temple and is pointing us in the right direction as we prepare for THE MOVE. Members are urged to pay their bill upon receipt or by the 15th of each month. Just like any family who is moving into a new home, and most of us have had that unnerving experience within the last five years, putting our finances in order will help us with our monthly overhead. Office Manager Maria Scher, and bookkeeper Sabrina, thank you for your help in keeping your accounts current and send a special thank you for taking the new dues structure in stride. Each member is important to Midbar Kodesh Temple and the positive response to the dues increase has been appreciated by those who must balance the books and pay the bills every month! ULPAN AT MIDBAR KODESH TEMPLE Beginners' Hebrew Ulpan classes will begin at Midbar Kodesh Temple this month. Toby Rosenbush, a Jewish educator with a Bachelors' of Religious Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary and a Masters of Education from the Yeshiva University in New York taught ULPAN in Israel and will bring the program to interested students. She is a former Hebrew School Director of a local synagogue and currently co-chairs the adult education department of Midbar Kodesh Temple. The ULPAN method was developed in Israel to integrate newcomers a quickly as possible into the mainstream. Almost every international language institution uses the ULPAN method to teach languages. Mrs. Rosenbush's curriculum will teach how to easily communicate on a simple level. Introductory reading skills will also be taught. There will be a material charge only for the 10 week program and the hour will be set on the needs of those attending. Contact Midbar Kodesh Temple (454-4848) to register for the course. Yeladim Academy, housed at Midbar Kodesh Temple, is looking forward to the move to 1940 Paseo Verde. Aside from having new classrooms, the children will have an outdoor playground. As the move in date approaches you can see the excitement on the faces of both the students and the teachers. If you are interested in enrolling your child in the preschool, please call Denise Schnitzer at 458-3555. 20'something Jewish Graduate Students & Professionals now have a place to meet party and network... at any G .
