Adar 1 & 2 5760 w m m 27TH EDITION A Message From Rabbi Felipe Goodman Why Keep Kosher! There's a story about a man who went into a pet store and bought a bird that was guaranteed to talk. He came back to the pet store the very next day to com-plain, "He just won't talk! All he does is sit there." The manager said, "That's strange. Tell me, does he peck on the lit-tle bell?" "What do you mean, bell? I don't have a bell." "Oh, but you need a bell. I'm sorry, it was my oversight. You get up by a bell every morning, don't you? The bell goes off, you get started. The bird pecks on its bell, hears it, gets his day started." "How much is a bell?" "$8.95." "Give me a bell." The man returns the very next day and says, "I don't understand about my bird. He still doesn't sing and he won't talk." The manager says, "Does he climb his little lad-der?" "I don't have a ladder." "Oh, you need a ladder. Don't you exercise every morning? The bird needs exercise. That's the way he gets started. He pecks on his bell; he climbs up and down that little ladder. Blood circulates; he feels good. He's got something to sing and talk about." "How much is a ladder?" "They are $16.50." "Well, give me a ladder." Back again the next day, the guy says, "I'm disgusted. That bird still won't sing and he won't talk." The store manager asks, "Does he look in his little mirror?" The man says, "What do you mean, mir-ror?" "You look in a mirror, don't you? You feel good about yourself. That bird looks in the mirror, thinks he looks terrific and sings and talks." "I've got to have a mirror, huh? How much?" "They are $21.95." Next day, the same story. The man comes back and says, "I've had it with that bird." The store manager says, "Does he swing on his littie swing?" And the man says, "All right, give me a swing." The following day, he comes back with a sad look on his face. He shouts, "My bird is dead." "What do you mean, He's dead'" "Yes, he's dead; I know a dead bird when I see one. He turned his little feet to glory and he is just lying there as dead as he can be." "Tell me," the manager asks, "Did he ever sing? Did he ever talk?" "Yes," replied the man. "Just before he died he looked me right in the eye and said: FOOD!" We all need food. We've heard the expression, "You are what you eat," but it makes us bristle. It seems to suggest that we can be defined by what we ingest, just like animals. And we know there's more to us than satisfying our animal instincts like hunger. After all, isn't what comes out of our mouths infinitely more important than what goes in? Isn't 2 what we choose to say much more important than what we choose to eat' But the truth is that what we eat, and how, and when, say a great deal about us. What we eat tells others, and reminds us, of what we think is important. Some of us show our concern for the world in which we live by choosing not to eat animals. Others concentrate on eating plant products like grains that make the best use of the earth's resources. There are those who pay attention to how food is packaged, knowing that it takes trees to make cardboard, and that some materials used for packaging prove next to impossible to recycle. There are those who refuse to eat food produced by oppressive labor conditions. Do we choose what science tells us is healthful, and foods that correlate with healthy hearts and long lives? Do we pay attention to how much cholesterol and fat we eat, to the amount of sodium, to whether foods seem to be linked with protecting us from cancer? Do we binge, or do we try to starve ourselves to model slimness? Or do we eat and drink in moderation? Clearly what we eat often shows our value system. The Torah portion of Shmini which is one of the parashiot contained in Sefer Vayikra (The Book Of Leviticus) is the source for many of the laws of Kashrut, of the Jewish way of eating. People used to think that these laws were little more than a primitive attempt by our ancestors to eat foods that were safe and healthful. Perhaps an early version of our scientifically informed concern for health. But over the millennia, we as a people have discovered that these laws have meant much more, both to us and to the rest of the world. Throughout our his-tory, the Jewish people have been the source of much in the way of wisdom and ethical guidelines. Yet as early as the first centuries of the Common Era, the Rabbis observed that precisely laws like Kashrut have been what enables the Jewish people to survive. Without laws about what and how Jews eat, it is doubtful that we could have preserved our identity. Consider the holiday of Passover. Many Jews consider Pesah to be their favorite time of year. What would our observance of this holiday be without matzah? To say noth-ing of bitter herbs and haroset and matzah balls. Food serves as the very framework to discuss what being free is all about. As we eat matzah, our tradition encourages each one of us to ask: Am I really free? And if I am free, why should I choose to obey ancient laws, like the laws of Kashrut, especially if they aren't about keeping us healthy? Perhaps because freedom has as much to do with law as with license. Freedom without law is anarchy.

Meet Our New Preschool Director ... A Message From Sandy Maifin, TBS Please welcome Deborah Jensen to our Temple Beth Sholom staff. She is the new Preschool Director for the Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Education Center of Temple Beth Sholom that will open in the Fall of 2000. Deborah Jensen has been committed to excellence in early childhood education since 1986. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Georgia. She is currendy working towards her Master's degree. Deborah was the Director of Hallmark Academy in Las Vegas. At the Academy she helped create and maintain a preschool program for six years. Since then she served as their Regional Director, managing and motivating 140 teachers to pursue excellence in early childhood education. A published speaker, Deborah has been training preschool teachers and parents across the United States and Canada since 1994. She has been a frequent speaker for the National Child Care Association and a featured speaker for several preschool conventions on the state level. Deborah takes an active role in the Southern Nevada Association for the Education of Young Children. Our new Director is very excited about creating a "Jewish Preschool Education Program" that will allow children to experience Judaism as a matter of course, through a balanced curriculum of academics, culture, food, prayer, activities, and parent involvement. Deborah's first hand knowledge of her subject mat-ter can be attributed to her two sons, Daniel Jacob and Nicholas Alan. We welcome Deborah and wish her much success in this exciting endeavor. If you would like more information on registering your child at the new Education Center, contact Deborah at 804-1333. FROM THE PRESIDENT, SANDY MALLIN We all know the expression, "Time Flies," but at Temple Beth Sholom we have to ask, "how fast?" We are so fortunate to have dedicated committee members working on the many upcoming projects at Temple Beth Sholom. I hope you all can participate in the School Brunch & Fashion Show, chaired by Bridget Shuster and Marcy Saxe, or the wonderful Passover Seder at the Four Seasons, chaired by Shelley Carroll. And because time is flying so fast, we have formed an active mov-ing committee, chaired by Dr. Steve Saxe, with the help of Dr. Stanton Carroll and Jared Shafer. These men are taking on the responsibility of moving us into our new home by July. Our dedication ceremony will be most exciting and meaningful. In order to make this happen, Amy Boruszak and Arlene Blut have agreed to coordinate this special program. Many thanks to Mona Silverman for assuming the chairmanship of the all important Membership Committee and to Marci Murdock for working so closely with Deborah Jensen in order to start our wonderful new preschool. I have said many times before, the NEW Temple Beth Sholom will succeed in fulfilling the needs of our congregation due in large part to our hardworking Board of Directors, the many volunteers, and to you, our congregants! A VERY SPECIAL TODAH RABAH TO RENE FEIN STEIN FOR HER MOST GENEROUS DONATION TO OUR DEBBIE FRIEDMAN CONCERT! tt Are you interested in Jewish Education for the next generation? Q Please mark your calendar to join your family, friends and children at a Fun-Filled Spring Fashion Show on Sunday, April 16 at 11:00 am. at the Four Seasons.

Call the office at 804-1333- 3 1 Religious School Education Update....From the Desk of Jacob Raijman For us, the Religious School is a place where children can live, breathe and discover their Judaism. m "RELIGIOUS SCHOOL, SUNDAY SCHOOL, HEBREW SCHOOL OR JEWISH LIFE?", Jacob Raijman, Education Director For many people the religious school is the complementary school for children that do not attend a Jewish day school. For others, it is the place where children learn how to read Hebrew and prepare for their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. While these are valid reasons for sending your child to a religious school; there are other reasons also. For our teaching staff, for Rabbi Goodman and for myself, it is more than reading Hebrew and having a beautiful Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony. For us it is a place where children can live, breathe and discover their Judaism. While this may not be a traditional way of viewing a religious school, it is our goal that every single child who attends our religious school walk with their head held high, proud to be Jewish. Education and fun are not enemies. On the contrary. Together these two can make the best team. They are the tools that we use to offer our children an interactive program. Temple Beth Sholom kids don't only read Hebrew; they read, they under-stand what they read and they start to speak Hebrew. For them, Hebrew is not only another language, but a part of their inheritance which they receive from our ancestors. We use a variety of innovative didactic methods: games, rallies, art, movies, music, dance, etc. The teacher does not just stand in front of the classroom and lecture, they make Judaism come alive for the students. Probably saying this sounds very simplistic, but if we give the children the opportunity to breathe Judaism, at home, at the Temple and in the Religious, Sunday or Hebrew School it will be a big step towards the continuity of our people. ^ ^ Mazel Tov! ^ f l M ^ n In the tradition of his ancestors, Joseph Samuel Ruderman, son of HH Lynn and Lawrence Ruderman, was called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on Saturday, March 18, 2000. Joseph is a 7th grade student at Becker Middle School. He enjoys playing the violin. Computers and video games are also some of his after-school activities. Phoebe, his Boston Terrier keeps him on the go! Sharing in his Simcha were his proud grandparents, Corinne and Morton Schecter; Trudy and Abe Ruderman. Joseph, we wish you the very best on this auspi-cious occasion in your life. Mazel Tov! Nathan Adam Vaisbort was born in Bismarck, North Dakota on January 11, 1986. Two years ago he moved to Las Vegas with his family. He is an 8th grade honors student at Molasky Junior High School. He has a brown belt in Taek Won Do, plays the guitar and enjoys playing with brother Matthew and family pet, Lily (a West Highland Terrier). While it is too early to make plans for the future, Nathan excels in computer, science and social studies. Nathan, we all wish you a big "Mazel Tov" when you become a Bar Mitzvah on April 15th. 4 M a r c h / A p r i l 2 0 0 0 / Adar I & Adar 2 5 7 6 0 The Megillah According To Broadway!

Ifeel very fortunate to be President of Women's League at this time. Working together as a team of dedicated women, we have accomplished so much. I recently had the opportunity to attend the Women's League Pacific Southwest Branch Torah Fund luncheon. It was quite thought provoking and inspirational. The national organization of Women's League is a wonderful group, providing tremendous support and assistance to us. I, person-ally, am very grateful to them for choosing me to attend the Wagner Institute's Young Leadership pro-gram. As each month goes by, we are picking up momentum at our ongoing programs. Our progres-sive relaxation group is growing steadily, with Irving Bransky doing a wonderful job helping us cope with our many life issues. Please feel free to call me with any subject that you would like to learn more about. Education is a vital part of our Women's League, we are always searching for new things to study. We also hope to see some more of you at our morning minyan on Wednesdays. From personal experience, I can say that beginning the day with prayer, study, friends and food is invigorating. Rabbi Goodman hosts a wonderful Mishnah class after minyan. If you would like to be on the Women's League Board of Directors, or know someone who would, please call Priscilla at 253-6382. Your active support oHfa Wppoym Peens'sa hL, eSahgeurey li sH aolwniagy s appreciated. A Large Feather in the Cap of Women's League goes to our Prez.... Our Women's League President, Sheryl Honig, does a wonderful job. Now that fact has been recognized by the entire Women's League Movement ? from California to Canada! Several months ago Sheryl was one of 10 women selected countrywide to attend an important leader-ship program in New York. This March she will be a part of the "Wagner Institute Program" at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City. Within a five day period Sheryl will have the oppor-tunity to daven in a learners' minyan or put on tefillin if she chooses. There will also be an opportunity to question the great thinkers of the Conservative world over Jewish law, the changing role of women, and the meaning of God. Program participants can view Maimonidies's orig-inal signature, immerse themselves in Jewish religious life through study, davening with JTS students, making ritual objects, singing and participated in Israeli danc-ing. Shabbat will be a very unique experience for all program attendees as they welcome the Shabbat in a closely woven group of rabbinical, cantorial and edu-cation students. The Wagner Institute helps reinforce Jewish values through sessions on Jewish texts, the life cycle, and modern Jewish theology, ultimately unearthing the wonders of Judaism. We wish Sheryl a wonderful trip and look forward to sharing in the experiences that she will bring back to her Temple Beth Sholom family.
