Dear Friends, “They tried to kill us. We won. Let’s eat.” It is one of the oldest Jewish jokes. Yet like any joke, there is a touch of truth to it. So much of is about redemption from our enemies, and the celebration of that redemption. Certainly as the festivals of and then approach, this becomes a major theme.

Purim and Passover are exactly a month apart. Purim falls with the full moon in the month of Adar, the twelfth month of the year. Passover falls with the full moon in the month of Nissan, the first month of the year. Both deal with redemption. And yet they are very different kinds of redemption. For Purim humans are the redeem- ers. Mordecai and Esther save the Jewish people, while God is not mentioned at all. For Passover God is the redeemer. God saves the people with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. is not mentioned in the Haggadah at all.

I find there is a profound truth to be learned from this. Ultimately God is the redeemer. In our prayers we call God Goel Yisrael – “the redeemer of Israel.” The story of Passover is how God brought us forth from Egypt. And the future is the ultimate redemption brought by the coming of the Messiah. We wait for God’s redemption. Nonetheless, the lesson of Purim is that God steps back and waits for us to be the redeemers. We are not to wait for God, but to step forward and become the redeemers of the world. I have written about how God said to Moses at the crossing of the sea, enough prayer already. Move forward. According to the , the wa- ters only parted when Nachshon ben Aminadav, the Prince of the tribe of Judah, jumped into the sea. We must become the redeemers.

A number of years ago I gave a series of sermons on the High Holidays about the role of humans in the world. I said in those sermons that we must be God’s eyes, God's ears, God’s hands, and God’s feet. We are God’s agents on earth to do God’s work. Our job is to perfect this world as a kingdom of God.

Redemption is one of the central ideas in Judaism. God is our redeemer. But God also needs us to be redeemers. On Passover God showed us how. On Purim we did it ourselves. But the question remains, how can we perfect this world? I hope you enjoy the celebrations of both Purim and Passover.

Shalom, Rabbi Michael Gold

Our concert will include a variety of music including but not limited to, Jewish music, music from “Spamelot” and “Rent”, as well as music by Leonard Bernstein.

This year’s guest performer, James White III, is a lyric tenor from Boynton Beach, Florida. He has earned both a BM in Vocal Performance and a BM in Commercial Music Business from Florida Atlantic University. His many singing accomplishments include: in 2011, winning 1st place in the NATS Advanced Men’s Competition, singing for five seasons with the Florida Grand Opera and the Palm Beach Opera, making his debut as Don Carlos in Rameau’s opera “Les Indes Galantes” in the Amherst Early Music Festival, and being a finalist of the 2016 Classical Singer Competition in the Musical Theatre Emerging Artist division.

3 President's Message Dr. Bruce Berkowitz [email protected]

It’s March and spring is around the corner. Of course, here in South Florida, with minimal changes to the daily weather forecast, the only way we know it’s time to bid farewell to Mr. Winter is by checking the calendar. However, there are other signs that spring is in the air. We spring ahead as daylight savings time returns. Baseball is back. Go Yankees! And, of course, Pesach is almost upon us. Why not make this the year that you join your TBTST family for a joyous Seder on April 8th, led by Rabbi Gold, or April 9th, led by Cantor Kramarow? I want to thank all of our members who were able to attend the installation of the temple -of ficers and board members, as well as the officers and board members of the Sisterhood and Men’s Club on January 10th. At that special Friday night event I outlined my vision for the next two years as your president. Here’s an excerpt of that speech, for those who were unable to attend. As I contemplated what to say to you tonight, I pulled out the speech I gave January 7th, 1994. Not surprisingly, the vision for Temple Shar’aray Tzedek that I presented that night still rings true twenty-six years later. Quite simply, my plan for TBTST can be explained by “The Three “C’s”: Contribution -Cooperation –– and, most importantly, Communication. Let me explain. Contribution. No, this is not a fund-raising speech. I’m referring to the contribution of time to enrich and improve life at TBTST. What is often called “sweat equity”. Our congregation is rich with talent and experience. I implore all my fellow congregants to “step up to the plate”. Volunteer your time to assist the office, ECC or Religious school. Attend a . 20-30 minutes of your time can mean so much to someone who is saying or has a yah- rzeit. Volunteer to work on one of the many committees that serve as the engine driving the TBTST bus. If you have an expertise in an area that would be of help or even if you want to help but are not sure how to go about it, email me at [email protected]. Quite simply, paraphrasing President Kennedy, "Ask not what your temple can do for you, ask what you can do for your temple!" The second “C” - Cooperation. All of us at TBTST, I believe, share the same goal. To help our temple flourish and grow; to provide a Jewish home that serves all of our religious and spiritual needs, regardless of age; and to fos- ter a love of Judaism in our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To achieve that goal, we truly have to work together – to cooperate with each other – be supportive of each other with constructive ideas. Way too often, however, I’ve observed the phenomena known as “Throwing someone under the bus”. Rather than point a finger at someone, be it a member of the clergy, one of the office staff, department heads, teacher, temple officer, board member or congregant, why not provide input to help solve the problem at hand. Be constructive – not destructive. We all make mistakes – I assure you I will make my share over the next two years. And when I do, I hope that I’m not run over by that Greyhound but instead receive supportive and constructive input. As President Lincoln famously said, A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Lastly, and maybe most importantly the third “C” - Communication. If you have an idea of a program or activity or fund-raising event or anything to help out our temple, let me know. If you’re pleased by an event or activity at the temple, let me know. If you are unhappy about anything at TBTST, don’t just talk and complain to your friends - let me know. As I mentioned earlier, my email is [email protected]. I promise I will read every email promptly and respond just as promptly. Whether I take care of the problem personally or pass it on to the appropriate in- dividual or committee to handle it, I will respond, and you will know your voice has been heard. If emailing is not your cup of tea, you can call the office and ask to speak to me, and I will call you back. If you’d like to sit down and chat about a temple issue, I’m happy to do that as well. My point is simple. I don’t want to find out about issues or problems second or third hand. I can’t fix an issue if I don’t know about it. So, I urge you to speak up! My hope is that we can all get behind and support these “Three C’s”! Shalom 4 Business Manager Sandra Edelboim [email protected]

Here I am about to tell you about Passover. I feel like I just wished you Shanah Tovah! Before I know it, we will be preparing for the High Holidays again. This year Passover starts the evening of April 8th and once again the Temple will be hosting a Community Seder on both nights. The first night, Wednesday, April 8th will be led by Rabbi Gold, the second night, Thursday, April 9th will be led by Cantor Kramarow. Additional infor- mation can be found in this issue of the Scroll. Please make your reservations early to ensure your place at the Seder and to receive an early bird discount. Authorization forms to sell Hametz are available in this issue of the Scroll. They must be received by Rabbi Gold no later than 9:30 am on April 8th, after the service and breakfast for the Fast of The First- Born. Passover concludes on Thursday night April 16th, please give Rabbi one hour after sundown to buy back the Hametz before opening your cabinets. I thought you’d find the Passover greetings and terms below interesting. I found them in My Jewish Learning. I’m including just one recipe this year. It’s my favorite Charoset recipe. This one is the best and I can’t make enough of it for my family. Please enjoy. Charoses Ingredients 3 cored and chopped Fuji apples. • 8oz roughly chopped pecans. • 12oz Majool Dates pitted. • Cinnamon to taste. Kosher for Passover sweet red wine.

The transfer, mekhirat hametz, is accomplished by appointing an agent, usually the Rabbi to handle the sale. It is a valid and legal transfer of ownership of the hametz. If ownership of the hametz was not transferred before the holiday, the use of hametz is prohibited after the holiday as well. (hametz she-avar alav ha Pesach).

The second half of the school year is the time to assess the success of this year’s curriculum, review outcomes for the following year, and make needed modifications so that the curriculum will address future desired social, emotional and educational goals. The core principal in Early Education curriculum planning is to provide students with develop- mentally appropriate learning opportunities. A successful curriculum is one that incorporates age appropriate social and emotional goals, tied with educational goals to provide all aspects of students’ developmental needs. It is my belief that students need to be provided with the opportunity to be an active participant in their own learning process and to develop cognitive abilities that will establish their role as the future leaders of our society.

The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration to spotlight early learning, young children, families, and communities. We have many hands-on sensory activities planned for the week of April 13th, which falls on Passover. There are many components which equally contribute to a successful curriculum. However, the one and most important component that every curriculum relies on is unconditionally devoted educators. Educators that are driven with the mission of sharing their endless knowledge and instilling the love of learning to their students. Educators that put their heart and souls in making our school a warm place, a second home, where students feel welcome and loved. It is thanks to them that our curriculum is so successful and that our school thrives. On the week of April 27th, we will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Parents, students, PSO and administration will show their appreciation to our teachers in many ways. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly recognize our wonderful teachers: Ms. Michele & Ms. Lesley, Ms. Amy & Ms. Nancy, Ms. Rachael & Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Julie & Ms. Sharon, Ms. Tami & Ms. Tatiana, Ms. Sara and Ms. Dannielle, for all their hard work and dedication to our students and their families. Our school is in great need for donations as followed: 1. Replacing broken chairs in the classrooms: $700 2. Replacing 2 playground benches: $ 900 3. Inhouse Planetarium Program: $320 4. Musical Family Shabbat Program: $150 per session or $1,800 for the year 5. Shabbat morning Family program: $100 per session.

I would to take this opportunity to showcase our Kitah 2 students. They have had an in- credible start to 2020 learning with Miss Joyce. The enthusiasm this kitah has shown while learning together is immense. They are clearly a strong group of youth who enjoy learning both Hebrew and Judaics. This year has been filled with opportunities for the students to learn about the symbols within Judaism. From the shapes and sounds heard during the High Holidays, to the flavors and colors of , to the music and shapes found during , and now the con- nection with nature on Tu B’shvat; these students have spent the year exploring Judaism. In addition, they have also gained an understanding of the key elements/tools that they find throughout the synagogue building. Below are photographs of the class working together during Mitzvah Day and learning while playing a matching game. They were instrumental in making blankets to give to those in need as well as decorating stones to beautify their environment. They also just recently had their class Friday night Shabbat service. The smiles on their faces as they sang for the congregation and shared what they’ve learned about trees for Tu B’shvat filled all of our hearts with joy! The school year is not over yet and I know that there is more they will learn together!

It’s crazy to think that we are already so far into the new year. Just last month was arguably one of our best programs of the year, Chapter Weekend. It was a great experience for the whole chapter, and it allowed everyone to get to know each other better. We spent the weekend as a chapter at a campsite in Apopka. The theme for the weekend was Gravity Falls – Weekend of Mystery. As a group we prayed together, played mixers, learned all about major cities/sites in Israel, played Jeopardy: Disney Edition, a scavenger hunt, and so much more. We ended this amazing weekend with meeting up with our friends from all over Hanegev at Magic Kingdom for Yom Disney. Coming up in March are some spectacular programs for the chapter and rest of USY. We are Noah Gilman kicking off March with an amazing fundraiser, Purim Bingo fundraiser. All proceeds will go to the TBTST Sharks and the ECC. This event is open to all ages, please invite your friends, neighbor, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and everyone you know. There will be Bingo, prizes to win, raffles, silent auction, and so much more. Presale has already started so sign up today! Arvot Spring Fling is on Saturday, March 7th. We will be electing the new Sub Regional Executive Board, competing for Joe Nebbish (best chapter in the sub region), doing an Escape Room, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones, and having a good time. The Youth Department, ECC and Hebrew School present to you TBTST Purim Carnival on March 9th. There will be a rock-climbing wall, petting zoo, game truck, bounce house, carnival games, and so much more. This is a free event for the community and food will be available for purchase. Just a week later, March 13th – 15th, is Gesher Convention for th8 graders. This convention allows 8th graders from all around the region, ranging from Florida to Georgia to Alabama and more, to meet before they officially join USY. This convention is like the gesher (bridge) to USY, and almost everyone who goes comes back with great things to say about it. The Matchilim event of the month is on the 19th from 6-7pm. We always know the year is coming to an end when Hanegev Regional Convention is around the corner. This year the convention theme is Gev School Musical, based off High School Musical. Convention will take place on April 3rd to 5th, and we are really looking forward to it. We get to see our friends from all over the region, elect the new Regional Executive Board, make new friends, dance the night away, and have an overall blast. The next couple months are full of fun and exciting programs and events, and we hope you all come out and experience them with us!

Sisterhoods play a huge role in the continuity of Judaism How? Sisterhood member’s dues go to Women’s League for (WLCJ). It supports 50 Jewish organizations that benefit Jewish non-profit and educational organizations. WLCJ even has three voting representatives at the UN. It’s difficult to put in the space of this article all the advantages to belonging to WLCJ. But, two of them are accessibility to leaders of WLCJ and a free yearly leadership training workshop for our board members. If you will visit their website, WLCJ.org, you will be wowed by what is available to Sisterhood. There are zoom call discussions on a variety of topics that assist in the running of our Sisterhood. There is a book club with video zooming of the actual authors talking as if you were in the same room. You can read the book in advance and send her (as most of the authors are women) questions. The books all have a Jewish theme or a Jewish author. There are educational, motivational and spiritual articles; and information on local and national conventions all members of Sisterhoods may attend. Torah Fund is a special program of WLCJ. Its purpose is to support Jewish learning at the highest levels, our Rabbis, Cantors and other educators; in general the leaders of the Jewish World. It sustains our five theological seminaries located around the world. A new, special project of Torah Fund will support both naming a new Undergraduate Residence Hall space to be known as Women’s League Study Space and a new Rabbinic Studies training course to be known as Women’s League Institute on Gender Bias and Harassment. You may have seen some of our temple women wearing Torah Fund pins. A donation of $180 or more earns a pin/pendant. Each year there is a different theme to the design. It is chesed this year. For higher levels of donation gem stones are added to the design according to the amount donated Hedy Gordon is our Torah Fund Chair. You can purchase a pin through her and/or make a donation to the special project (writing the word “spaces” on your check). Hedy ask that you contact her at 561-968-7324 or hedy. [email protected]. Or, for more information go to support.jtsa.edu/tfCNS. Jody Glass serves on the WLCJ national board and oversees its regional fund-raising efforts through her talents of crafting. So now that I have explained how vital it is to world Jewish continuity that Sisterhood belongs to WLCJ, I ask you to consider what joining Sisterhood does to support the continuity of Judaism in our temple and local community as well. Sisterhood dues help pay for Sisterhood’s yearly monetary commitment to our temple in the amount of $12,000. Even when our membership numbers go down this commitment must be met! Sisterhood must carefully manage our club in order to provide events and programs that not only our members will enjoy but also raise enough to be able to meet the commitment and what else we provide to other arms of the temple throughout the year. One recent and unexpected example is the $1,000 Sisterhood donated to help send 15 of our teens to attend AIPAC. We felt overwhelmingly this was an opportunity we did not want them to miss. Without the talented management skills of our leadership and other active members Sisterhood cannot provide donations for these: Temple Hebrew programs Youth scholarships College programs for our families’ students Sisterhood Shabbat Kiddush Various community charities Cantorial Concert Your support and participation is way more important than you may have realized! Please keep all of this in mind as you consider joining Sisterhood and as you see the following list of upcoming Sisterhood activities. See flyers for RSVP information!

12 Men's Club Aubrey Harley – President [email protected]

Greetings & Shalom Everyone,

By the time this message reaches you, the TBTST Family & Friends, a mere two months would have passed since assuming the presidency of the Men’s Club. It’s still very much an ongoing process attempting to fill the shoes of my predecessor, Dr. Alan Miller. Perhaps it’s the mutual Naval connection we both share, for Alan continues to be a both a friend and supportive mentor. Alan is well-schooled in matters of paying attention to details. He tactfully reminds me that no matter how slight they might seem, nothing should be assumed or taken for granted, and this is an area, I am fast learning, is tantamount if I am to have a successful tenure as President. There was a time when as a career teacher, Union Steward, and Petty Officer, I was well versed in this all-important facet of leadership. However, my many years of retirement, it seems, have taken away, if not woefully, dulled that edge. So, here I am leading and relearning. Many thanks to the MC members that supported the Mitzvah Day-World Wide Wrap Event. We have some awesome MC members and fellow congregants ready to give me their support. No more was this evident than at the “Pancake Breakfast” that followed that event in February. I must extend special thanks to three individuals who cranked out those delicious pancakes - namely, Bruce Berkowitz, Steve Sax, and Alan Paley. An additional thank you to Israel Magrisso for dropping by to lend a hand. I would be remiss if I did not extend thanks to all our MC members that helped in other areas ( instruction, PB&J production and craft stations). I realize that with family and job commitments, not everyone is able to volunteer and help out when asked. To everyone that did step forward, know that your willingness did not go by unappreciated, and I hope it will encourage others in the future. To give of one’s time and energy is noteworthy. Truly, “The world is sustained by giving. Giving is the essence of charity, and charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead. He who has no spirit of charity is undeserving of mercy, and the smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.” Nowhere is this truer than for those that donated blood on Mitzvah Day. It was great to learn that Jerry Berkowitz had a very successful Blood Drive this time around. In speaking with him, I know he was quite grateful for all the donors. A reminder: Yom HaShoah is on April 20-21 this year. I will be calling on you to help out with our Yom Hashoah Yellow Candle Drive in the preceding days of that observance. Let’s all work to make this a most successful event! In my last message, I made mention that the Zen Master’s word for a caring, supportive community of common- ality is Sangha. In Hebrew, this community with a singleness of purpose is an EDAH. As a caring and productive EDAH, our future emphasis will continue to be to support our Youth, for we all recognize that they are very much our future and legacy. In the two years that lie ahead, it is my great hope that the Men’s Club will grow and continue to be a viable and integral part of TBTST. Let us be encouraged by a prayer by Marianne Williamson: “Many times we are held back by a sense that we are simply not good enough, talented enough or smart enough to do what we want to do. We pray to God to free us from the internal chains that bind us. Self confidence stems from confidence in Him. It is not we alone who do the work, the work is done by Him who is within us.” As a parting note, I wish to remind you that our next event is a “Bowling Night Experience” on Thursday, March 19th. At Sawgrass Lanes. Ladies, you are invited! Please, see the flyer in this issue of The Scroll for full details. Space is limited. I urge you to RSVP to the office by Monday, March 16th. Come, support us and join in on the fun! My very best wishes to all for an enjoyable, safe and healthy Purim and Pesach. B’Shalom!

TBTST CELEBRATES THE WORLD WIDE WRAP

14 Legacy Circle Information

What will our legacy be? What are we passionate about? What about the Synagogue?

We included TBTST in our wills. The honest truth is that the recognition needs to go to each of you. You always greet us when we are here. We always feel welcomed and loved by each of you. We feel like we are paying it forward. Love is inclusive of everyone. And that is the Jewish way.

As a past President, I felt I made a difference-especially during the merger of 2 Conservative in Broward County. My love for Torah increases my passion for Judaism. I love learning about being Jewish and our long history of Judaism. All of this sounds so simple. My message to you is that if you find something you are passionate about, leave a lasting legacy. We did at TBTST. Together we can make a difference in our future. It takes a village.

18 Know Your Scripture By Rabbi Michael Cain 1.B’reishit - Genesis: Beginnings The beginning of the world, the beginning of humanity and the beginning of a special connection (a covenant) between humans and God. This statement is opposite to some Greek philosophers that maintained that the world was not created, that it was always here. The importance of the story of creation is that it implies that humanity was created for a purpose. It is the story of the beginning of the Jewish people with a man called Avram and his wife Sarai. Avram had the courage to stand alone with a belief of one invisible, ethical God. God promises Avram that his children will be as numerous as the stars and the land known at the time as Canaan will be the inheritance of his children. This book ends with the story of whose great grandson Joseph ascends from the status of a slave to become second to the king which puts him in the position to save his family (that numbers 70 at this time) from terrible famine in the Middle East. At Joseph’s invitation, his family comes down from Egypt and settles there. 2.Shmot - Exodus: Enslavement by the Pharoh The children of Israel multiply enough to be called by the Pharoh a people. It is the story of a man called Moses who was raised by the daughter of the Pharoh. Upon maturity he saw the suffering of the children of Israel. After a few years in the desert of Midian he is now married to Zeporah and has two children. He is encountering a bush that is burning but is not consumed and from the bush he hears the voice of God. Charging him to go to Pharoh to tell him so said God the children of Israel let my people go. After 10 plagues that prove the superiority and power of the God of Israel over the Pagan gods Pharoh lets the peoples go. It is the story of God’s covenant with the entire nation of the children of Israel at the foot of Mount Sinai. Wandering for 40 years in the desert there is a transformation of these people from slavery to a generation that was born in freedom. The destination was the land that God promised to Abraham and repeated to Issac and . The purpose of having their own land was to enable the children of Israel to establish a just and ethical society guided by the laws of God given to them in the desert of Sinai.

The tree has always been a symbol of life and strength in the Jewish tradition. The parts of the tree depend upon one another just as those in need in our com- munity depend upon Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek for help and support.

In the same manner, Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek depends upon the generosity of our community to enable us to continue to provide that support. The Tree of Life is the perfect symbol to allow us to recognize the generous donors who, in turn, help us to continue providing necessary services to our community.

Consider honoring a friend or relative’s birthday, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, anniversary, etc. or using this as a memorial gift. By purchasing a leaf for the Tree of Life, you will not only be helping the Tree to grow, but you will also be helping TBTST to grow, now and in the future. There are gold, silver and bronze leaves available at a price of $180. If you are interested in supporting TBTST, please contact our office and we will gladly assist you. You can also email [email protected] or make your donation online at www.tbtst.org.

Thank you for your donation.

Traditionally, the Hebrew name of the sick person and the Hebrew name of the sick per- son's mother are mentioned during the prayer. It would be helpful if you would provide us with this information when you make your request. Prayers for the recovery of the sick are customarily accompanied by a gift to a deserving charity. The merit of this kind deed arouses God's mercy and His powers of healing. Although any amount is deemed appropriate on such an occasion, a gift of CHAI - $18 - or multiples of 18 - is particularly fitting when pleading for a person's recovery from- sick ness. CHAI in Hebrew means life. The two Hebrew letters which constitute the word CHET- and YUD - have the numeri- cal equivalents of eight and ten respectively, together yielding the sum of eighteen. For this reason it has become a custom to give charity in the amount of CHAI when praying for the well-being of a suffering person.

Yahrzeit is a Yiddish word, which literally means “time of year” or memorial. Jews of Ashkenazi descent use this term. Sephardim call this commemoration nahala, in Ladino. This custom is widely observed and based on the Jewish tradition of commemorating the death of a relative. All the Yahrzeit rituals are deeply ingrained in the Jewish life. The common rituals that are performed in the honorable memory of the departed soul include reciting the Kaddish prayer and lighting a Yahrzeit candle. Yahrzeit also includes the action of donating charity in memory of a deceased loved one. Through the performance of the mitzvah of in the name of the departed, the merit of the deed is shared with the soul of the late relative, as their memory is enhanced

25 One of the most beautiful and meaningful customs of the Jewish people is remembering those we have lost by memorializing our beloved through acts of Tzedakah and by saying Yahzreits Kaddish. The following Yahrzeits will be acknowledged and Kaddish will be said during Shabbat Services on the dates below.

We could not accomplish this important mitzvah if not for the generous donations we receive year round from caring individuals, organizations, schools, synagogues and businesses in our community. Thanks to United Way of Broward County, we are also able to distribute fresh produce to needy people through Project Lifeline. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated to keep our shelves stocked so we can help the many men, women and children needing our services throughout the year. Currently, WECARE provides enough free non-perishable food and fresh produce to prepare over 65,000 meals for our neighbors in need. WECARE also collects small toiletry items, provides free medical equipment loans including wheelchairs, walkers and canes, distributes hand-knitted items to nursing home residents, and collects eyeglasses and hearing aids that are sent to New Eyes for the Needy. Donations of toiletry items and medical equipment are very much appreciated. Facts about Hunger in Broward County According to Million Meals Committee, there are 19 active food pantries in Broward County inclusive of the Soref JCC WECARE Food Pantry, and 4 active food banks. The Broward Regional Health Planning Council, Inc., Food Security Survey Report notes that 44% of all students enrolled in Broward County elementary schools qualify for free and reduced lunches. 15% of 56,873 Broward children live in poverty. 26 Please Support TBTST's Advertisers
