He loves morning services. 9. He is always early to every appointment. 8. He can turn an average Yom Kippur into "Yom Kippur; The Musical" 7. He has less hair than I do. 6. He has celebrity status. 5. Never makes mistakes and is always right. 4. He always finds a way of being neater and more ordered and structured. 3. He has an ever present and new found sense of humility. 2. I feel honored to know he is a personal friend of The Dalai Lama. I. I like it when he gets on the roof of the Temple and says; "My name is Daniel Eli Friedman and THIS is my congregation!" Cantor my little daughter Zoe picked out for me to wear with the ruffles flowing down the front like a swashbuckler was still flowing in the wind. The melody of the Megilat Esther was still fresh in my mind. I was being chased by those evil three corner headed monsters in black capes. Wow, what an adventure, I thought as I raced through the crevice of stone only to emerge in the desert at the base of a great rock mountain. I am in the desert. How did that happen? My mind was jolted to reality as I noticed the massive formation of red rock standing before me like El Capitan in Yellowstone National Park; the face a rock climbers dream; yet the surface was worn smooth. High above I noticed 10 sentences each letter four feet high. What is this? Could it be the biblical 10 commandments? Have I stumbled upon an archeological holy grail, so to speak. I squinted to make out the inscription, curiously carved in English, and this is what it read... 10. He looks much better in a sombrero than I do. 9. "Go Go Gadget" can be heard daily from his office. 8. I never have to worry about having a lunch date with him around. 7. He is loosing more hair than me. 6. His shirt always matches his tie. 5. English has become a third language to Hebrew and Spanish. 4. For a good laugh, I just ask him to say "We don't need no stinking badges." 3. When I am cold, I just have to ask him a question and he blows a lot of hot air. 2. He raises page calling to an art form. 1. He can actually sing. Top Ten Things I Like About My Rabbi by Daniel Eli Friedman I couldn't believe how far the drop was, but I made it. Safe at last I thought, as I brushed the soot from my tan cords turned black from swinging on the vines high above what appeared to be the tropical rain forest. The beautiful new turquoise shirt that 2 . And then I woke up. Happy Purim. March 2006 Adar 5766 The second phase of this project will add at least ten more much needed Solomon Schechter and religious school classrooms. Our architect, Brad Friedmutter has already created a beautiful plan that compliments the existing building and we are now ready for Summerlin approval. "Each Jew knows how thoroughly ordinary he is, yet taken together we seem caught up in things great and inexplicable." Milton Himmelfarb Capital Campaign Dear Friends, The wise words by Milton Himmelfarb describe our Temple Beth Sholom community as well as the Jewish people. No one donation built our Synagogue. Together, as a community, we built a great Temple that includes a pre-school, religious school and a Solomon Schechter School, that is our spiritual home today. Since our synagogue's dedication almost six years ago our membership has more than doubled. Many of our children have married and are raising their children, our grandchildren, and another generation has emerged. Our preschool enrollment is expanding rapidly with members' children born after 2000. In their honor, Abbie and David Friedman are dedicating the Friedman Family Multi-Generational Pavilion. Co-chairing this project are Flora and Stuart Mason. Stuart is a past president of our congregation and the Mason family ties to Temple Beth Sholom go back three generations. Not only will our youth benefit from this fabulous addition with its gymnasium for sports, Purim Carnivals and school plays, this expansion will also include four additional classrooms. Our parents, grandparents and dear friends who have influenced our lives and took care of us, will now have a meeting place and activity room under the auspices of the LDor V'Dor program. Many levels of giving have been developed in order to include participation from the entire congregation. What better way to memorialize and/or honor our loved ones than with a dedication in their name! A series of home receptions are being planned for the coming months to give you an opportunity to actively participate in the campaign. To date we are proud to report that we have received lead gifts totaling over three million dollars. Another three million is needed to complete the first phase and shell out the second phase. With your help, we will reach our goal. Our new pavilion and classrooms will set a standard of excellence for synagogues in the Las Vegas Valley. Our Temple will continue to be our spiritual home, center for Judaic education, and where we will celebrate our important family events. Mr. Himmelfarb was correct; together we can and will accomplish great things. Thanking you in advance.

They are all gifts to us from trees. In March the children of the Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center celebrated "the birthday of the trees" with a special Tu B'Shevat picnic. Many students made crowns, created pinecone bird feeders, paper and leaf collages to celebrate the occasion. Everyone gathered together to sing "Happy Birthday" to the trees and sampled different varieties of dried fruit. Get ready to "Blast Off," do the "Jungle Boogie," and become a "Lil' Champion" this summer at summer camp! Each session is packed with fun filled events, special guests, Judaic crafts, bounce houses, cooking projects, water play days, and so much more. Registration for summer camp will begin March 29th. For more information contact the preschool administration at 804-1333 ext 112. We are gearing up for our annual Purim Parade March 14th. This is definitely a "photo-op" event that should not be missed. The Petit Couture Spring Fashion Show Fundraiser - will be April 2nd. This fundraiser will be the event of the year! Chairperson, Jessica Mallin-Pianko and her fashion show committee have begun to work on this fun, "must attend" event! All children attending TBS are encouraged to participate. See cover story on page 1. We recently held a Parent Information Session in conjunction with the Solomon Schechter Day School to more fully explain our math curriculum, Everyday Mathematics. This program goes beyond the traditional approach of drill and practice as a means of mastering asic math facts. It also mphasizes critical thinking ;kills and alternative strategies : a means of problem solving, his informative experience provided our parents with new insights into this fantastic program. Did you know that over 1.3 illion Israelis are living in poverty? Yes, that is one out of every three children. As a result, these children face a future of continuing poverty and failure which could lead to a great risk of improper physical and intellectual development. The children and families of the Sandra and Stanley Mallin Early Childhood Center want to help to make a difference. For the month of March, our Mitzvah Committee, headed by Chair, Sara Krelstein, will support the Hazon Yeshaya project. The Hazon Yeshaya project is dedicated to providing hot, nourishing meals to people of all ages. They deliver food directly to schools, feeding children who have been identified by teachers or staff as not receiving sufficient food in their homes. Hazon Yeshaya makes sure that these children receive a hot lunch every single day as well as the afternoon for extended day programs. To support this program, you can stop by the preschool office and purchase a vegetable or letter and help fill the mitzvah pot of "Alphabet Soup!" Tu B'Shevat being celebrated by TBS preschool students Education March 2006 Adar5766 by Jon Mitzmacher, Director of Religious Education Solomon Schechter The Solomon Schechter Day School of Las Vegas (SSDS-LV) is proud to announce that beginning with next school year it will offer a Kindergarten program in addition to its already announced expansion into Third Grade. The SSDS-LV moves even closer to its original dream of creating a unique and vibrant Jewish elementary school with this important decision. The Kindergarten program, formally housed in Temple Beth Sholom's preschool, will continue to shine as a fine example of early elementary | education, but will now benefit from Solomon Schechter's exemplary approach to Jewish education and Hebrew | language instruction. F u r t h e r m o r e , incoming SSDS-LV kindergarten families will now have access to Federation's important new community scholarship fund for Jewish day schools. All in all, this landmark decision will serve as the foundation for the SSDS-LV's continued growth and success. The Solomon Schechter Day School also announces the founding of its own Girl Scouts Brownie Troop. Working with the Girl Scouts of Frontier Council, the Solomon Schechter will begin operating a Brownie Girl Scout Troop on its site. This will be the only Girl Scout Troop in Las Vegas associated with a Jewish organization and will be open to the community at large. Brownie Girl Scouts are typically ages six through eight; however, to accommodate Schechter's grades, girls in kindergarten will be welcome as well. According to Frontier Council, Brownie Girls Scouts can expect to, "sing new songs, play new games, and make new friends," as well taking day trips and the occasional overnight. Volunteer Troop Leaders are currently receiving training and opening events are in the works. If you are interested in signing up or volunteering with the SSDS-LV Brownie Girl Scouts, please contact the SSDS-LV Office. In addition, the SSDS-LV is currently booking private tours as part of its ongoing enrollment activities. Don't miss this chance to see the school, meet the teachers, and experience a taste of Schechter's unique educational approach. As part of its commitment to small class sizes, enrollment is expected to close at fifteen for each of its four grades. Besides welcoming a new class of students, limited spaces will be available for next year's Second and Third Grades. Please call the Schechter office if you are interested and would like to take a tour. For further information on the Solomon Schechter Day School contact Jon Mitzmacher at (702) 804-1333 ext. 114.

Men's Club by Harvey Gitel The World Wide "Wrap on Sunday, February 5 th, brought together over 40 adults and 60 students from the 4th,5th and 6th grades. We were in the main sanctuary and the students found their Tefillin (which they made), put them on with the assistance of members of the Men's Club and took their seats according to the classes. Rabbi Brooks did a brief presentation and the Cantor conducted the service and used some prayer melodies with which they were familiar. The Men's Club hopes that this activity will spark interest and provide some basic memories as they approach their B'nai Mitzvot and make decisions about their participation in services and use of Tefillin. It was a pleasure being able to work with the students at the Minyan and while they learned about tefillin.
