2 Volume 69, No. 6 FEBRUARY 2017 Temple Beth El Page 2 MESSAGE FROM RABBI RAMI A Choir for Temple Beth El By Rabbi Rami Pavolotzky Rabbi Daniela and I believe that Judaism is much more than a religion or a belief. Judaism has been defined by modern scholars and thinkers as a way of life, a civilization, a culture, a people, or a nation. These definitions incorporate the national or cultural aspects of being Jewish, aspects that perhaps seem obvious, yet are not always taken into consideration when defining Judaism. We all know that Judaism has to do with a belief and religious practice, but we also recognize that Judaism has to do with a national history, a land, a state, a people, humor, singing, dancing, literature, theatre and of course, also, food! All of these elements are part of our Jewish identity, and we should try to learn from them and develop them in order to strengthen and enrich our Judaism. As rabbis, we believe that Jewish congregations should give opportunities to its members to practice the different aspects of this multifaceted Jewish way of living. An ideal congregation should be able to offer programs and activities that cover the entire spectrum of being Jewish. That s why we want to have an adult choir at Temple Beth El, among many other dreams. We believe it s a great beginning! The choir we want to have at Temple Beth El is not a religious choir, nor a choir for services. It is a group of members who meet periodically to learn and enjoy Jewish music-- traditional and new songs, Israeli songs, religious and secular Jewish songs, songs in Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, English, and maybe other languages from the Diaspora. Although not the main goal, it would be nice if this group would like to share their art with the congregation. In the future, we would love to have the choir of Temple Beth El performing at a congregation s program, or even represent Temple Beth El in programs for the Jewish community and/ or the general community. We think a good choir needs a good conductor. That s why we contacted Marina Cherepinsky, who is a professional musician with ample experience in choirs and teaching music. She is currently the director of the choir of the JCC in Harrisburg, as well as the director of the Capital Youth Chorale, also in Harrisburg. We believe she could be a great conductor for our choir. With all these ideas in mind, we held a first informational meeting last month, with people interested in participating in a choir. Twelve people showed up after a Shabbat lunch to discuss dates and times. The best proposal seemed to be to have meetings on Sunday mornings, from 11 am to 12 pm, every other Sunday. Our conductor, Ms. Cherepinsky, agreed with this proposal, although she still needs to determine the final schedule. Therefore, we are ready to start meetings in February. The plan is to see how this schedule works from February to June, five months of bimonthly meetings. We hope people will come and enjoy singing wonderful Jewish songs, conducted by a professional choir director. Every member is invited to participate, so come and join! For these first five months, the program will be funded by the Rabbis Programming Fund, a fund designed for the rabbis of Temple Beth El to invest in programming for the benefit of the Temple and its members. This fund is entirely and generously funded by the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El. Therefore, there will be no cost for members willing to be part of the new choir, although voluntary contributions are welcomed and appreciated. The first meeting will be on Sunday, February 12 th and will be a special and longer one, as the director needs to hear interested people so she can determine your vocal placement and other characteristics of your voice. It s not a test, don t worry about it! Therefore, the program for February 12th is as follows: 10 am - 11 am: Singers' musical assessment (5-7 minutes for each singer) 11 am 12 pm: Rehearsal This program is only for the first meeting, the rest of them will last for one hour, from 11 am to 12 pm. During the first meeting, the schedule of dates for February to June will be discussed. The most important thing: If you love to sing (even if you don t think you do it very well), if you love Jewish music, if you enjoy having a good time together with your friends from Temple Beth El, don t miss this opportunity! Come and join the new choir at Temple Beth El!

3 Volume 69, No. 6 FEBRUARY 2017 Temple Beth El Page 3 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Dave Ehrlich Gary Kogon December and January were busy months at Temple Beth El. We had a very successful Chanukah party in December with about 65 people in attendance. Everyone enjoyed the food and program put on by our religious school students. We had an interesting program in the Beth Pomerantz Education Series in January when Andrea Lieber, a professor at Dickinson College, presented a thought-provoking look at how modern technology has and will continue to impact Judaism. Edna Naveh told us about recent actions taken by the United Nations that affect Israel at a Kiddush luncheon in January. Rabbi Rami s course on Mishnah wrapped up in January. In December, a group of congregants led by Sue Wolf provided a meal for the community s hungry at First Reformed Church in Lancaster. (In this month of February, our synagogue will continue to support the community when Rabbi Daniela and our Hebrew High students provide a meal at Zion Lutheran Church in East Petersburg). One of the objectives of the Board is to make Temple Beth El more welcoming to interfaith families. With that in mind, we have held two focus group sessions and our interfaith families shared their experiences and impressions of Temple Beth El. The second session was held at the end of January, so as we write this, we are still absorbing what we ve learned. Our next steps may be affected by United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, the umbrella organization of conservative synagogues in North America, which is likewise trying to find ways to make their member synagogues more welcoming of interfaith families and, to that end, they have proposed changing the definition of who can be a member of a synagogue. Our Board is studying this proposal and we will tell you more about it next month. On the subject of interfaith, we continue to examine how to create an interfaith section of our cemetery and hope to finalize alternatives by the spring. (Incidentally, if you go to our cemetery, you will have noticed the construction fencing surrounding the walls and pillars at the entrance. We hired a contractor to make repairs to this area because the stone had been deteriorating. This work will be completed in the spring). Our 2017 food festival, to be held on May 7, may be months away, but the committee that oversees the event has already held a couple planning meetings and cooking is well underway. Dave Ehrlich and Shellie Gordon are co-chairing this year s event assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers who have been the bedrock support for years. There will be publicity about the event and a call for volunteers to help the day of the event in the upcoming months, but in the meantime we could use help with our ad book. Randi Jacobs works tirelessly to put out this book, a combination guide to the event and paid ads, but she could use help. Please contact her directly if you can provide assistance. We have appointed Robin Adler to represent our synagogue at the Lancaster Jewish Community Alliance (JCAL). Please contact Robin if you have any thoughts about JCAL. Thank you to Steve Gordon who had been serving as our JCAL rep. February can be a snowy and dreary month, but there are a couple activities on the horizon that will surely lift your spirits. Jewish Community Alliance of Lancaster is sponsoring a Storytelling Scholar-In-Residence Shabbat weekend on February 3 5 with activities for all ages. The Rabbis are organizing a choir that may begin this month. On a more serious note, the Rosh Chodesh group will present a program at the end of this month focusing on domestic violence. Finally, Tu B Shevat, the day that marks the beginning of the New Year for Trees falls in February this year. While it will be at least a couple months before the trees in Lancaster start to show their buds, this holiday, with its custom of NOTICE OF TEMPLE OFFICE HOURS The Temple office is open Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The office is closed on Tuesdays.

4 Volume 69, No. 6 FEBRUARY PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE I wanted to start off by thanking all of you that signed up and donated food for the Hebrew High class to use to cook dinner that they are serving to people at the Zion Lutheran Church in East Petersburg on February 6th. This is one of those win-win situation for everyone involved, you donors, the students, the Church, and the recipients. On Sunday, February 5th, as part of the Storytelling Scholar-InResidence, our students, along with the students from both Shaarai and Degel, are participating in a program to explore telling their own stories with our guest, Jennifer Zunikoff. That afternoon, as part of this event, the Teachers from all three schools will have a workshop with Ms. Zunikoff to learn how to include storytelling into the classrooms to make learning more interesting for the students. The weekends events is sponsored by JCAL and we are very appreciative for their support. The 15 of Shevat, also known as Tu BiShevat and the New Year for Trees, falls on February this year. We will be having a program about the holiday and how we recognize and interact with our environment. In an effort to teach the students more about the importance of nature and the environment, we have planned a field trip on March 5th for our younger grades along with students from Degel and Shaarai. They will be attending a program we are organizing for them at the Pearlstone Center in Reisterstown, MD. The expert educators there will 2017 Temple Beth El show the students how to live a Jewish sustainable lifestyle. They will interact with the farm animals, discuss growing food and making the best use of our precious resources. If you are not familiar with the center, it is a retreat center for people all of ages and you can learn more about it on their website. I would like to suggest that the temple consider organizing a trip for the congregation. I am looking forward to all of these events as these are wonderful opportunities for our students.

5 Volume 69, No. 6 FEBRUARY 2017 Temple Beth El Page 5 Sisterhood Behind the Scenes: The Bereavement Committee is there when needed For decades, the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El has been proud to be able to support our congregants and their families through the efforts of our Bereavement Committee. For members who may not be familiar with the role we fill, we would like to share the service we provide. When our Rabbis are notified of a Temple member passing away or losing someone in their immediate family, they reach out to our committee so we can help lighten the burden for the mourners. A member of our committee makes a sympathetic and understanding call to the family and determines how best to meet their needs. If a funeral takes place in Lancaster, Sisterhood steps in and provides a meal of consolation for the mourners returning from the cemetery. If a funeral takes place out of town, Sisterhood provides a meal of consolation if the family is returning home to Lancaster directly from the cemetery and observing the shiva period. If the burial takes place out of town and the family returns a day or several days later (continuing to observe shiva), Sisterhood provides a meal for the immediate family on the day of their return, if desired. Our goal is to allow the family to concentrate on the healing presence of their family and friends, and not have the added pressure of preparing a meal for the mourners. The Bereavement Committee is hoping that you would like to share in performing this mitzvah, and we would welcome new members to the committee. As the nature of our role is one of mobilizing on short notice, it is crucial to have more people to draw on when the need arises. Please consider adding your name to our ranks we know you will find it very rewarding. On a final note, we are frequently asked to provide a guideline for a donation to help defray the cost of providing the meal of consolation. Sisterhood does not ask for payment and performs this service lovingly. However, donations enable us to have the funds to fill this valuable role. It can typically cost $125- $200 to prepare our kosher meal for people. Feel free to contact Linda Hutt, Bereavement Chair to find out how you can get involved as part of our caring community.
