Congregation B'nai Harim Congregation B’nai Harim Children of the Mountains Congregation B’nai Harim, P.O. Box 757, Pocono Pines, PA 18350/ (570) 646-0100 http://www.bnaiharimpoconos.org NEWSLETTER /DECEMBER 2017/ VOLUME 23, ISSUE 12 RABBI’S MESSAGE - DECEMBER 2017 Chanukah is not only the Festival of Lights, it is the Holiday of Rededication. As a holiday that falls at the darkening of the year, it holds out the hope of the return of light and of its increase in the future. As the holiday of rededication, it turns us back to times of action and gives us a space to rekindle our passions. And, of course, it has become the holiday of the “present” as well! Rabbi Peg In the Talmud there is a debate between Rabbis Shammai and Hillel, the quintessen- Kershenbaum tial sparring partners. Shammai thinks that people should light 8 lamps (they didn’t use candles in those days) on the first night and one fewer each successive night, thus clicking off the days of the holiday until no lights are lit. Hillel believes that we should never decrease in holiness, so he recommends lighting one more lamp each night until the holiday goes out in a blaze of glory. As is mostly the case, we follow Hillel’s opinion. So, when we kindle our chanukiyot (Chanukah menorahs), we look forward to greater illumination each night. Chanukah also marked the time that the Maccabees purified the Temple in Jerusalem and re- consecrated it to the service of Adonai, driving out pagan practices, clearing away unkosher animal remains and tearing down the statue of Zeus. They reclaimed, too, the lost Sukkot holiday of that year, bestowing on the celebration of Chanukat haBayit (the Dedication of the House [of God]) eight days, just like Sukkot (and Pesach in the springtime). This Chanukah at our synagogue celebration, we will dedicate a new gift crafted by Jim Hannan. This is an inlaid tray to be used on Yom haShoah, on Kristallnacht and during Yizkor commemora- tions to hold yahrzeit lamps. Jim has found a way to express his gifts by giving of them to B’nai Harim. While not everyone is an artist, all of you have special talents, skills and traits that can be dedi- cated or re-dedicated to your spiritual home. It is not only that B’nai Harim itself benefits from your giving of yourself; when you give of yourself to something bigger than yourself, you deliberately place yourself in alignment with our people and our mission: to be a light to the nations. In this season of light, I ask you to consider what gifts you can give to elevate yourself spiritually and to enhance the beauty of our synagogue and its mission in our community. As is often the case when one gives, one receives more in return. May you give of your own special lights and receive a feeling of joy in return. Chag Urim Sameach! May the Festival of Lights be a time of happiness! CALLING ALL WHO LIKE TO SING Our choir needs you! You don't have to know the words or the music. All you have to know is that your voice is important. We rehearse once a month and sing during the next service. Even if you don't want to sing in a group during services, come sing together at practice! We need you!! Our next rehearsal is Sat., Dec. 9th at 10:30 AM Our next choir Shabbat is Sat., Dec. 16th at 9:30 AM NEW PROGRAMS PLANNED UPCUPCOMING SHABBAT DINNNERS Watch for more information December 8, 2017 Janet Wile Lecture series. January 19, 2018 February 2, 2018 Jews in Sports March 9, 2018 - Shabbat Across America PAGE ONE/B’NAI HARIM 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE - DECEMBER 2017 One of the most important messages of Chanukah is that small and insignificant beginnings can lead to large and significant conclusions. A small beginning can be in the form of lighting Shabbat candles, attending services or doing mitzvahs. At home we light Hanukah lights to remind us of the miracle of the jug of oil. As the lights shine so bright we remember Judah Macabee and his brothers. On Hanukkah we talk Barbara Feman of how “the mighty were vanquished by the weak. Chanukkah teaches us to have faith in the power of small beginnings. Can you find the different spellings for the festival of lights in the above paragraph?1 As little as about five years ago, the top spelling choice on the Internet was Chanukah. But times are constantly changing; even in the way the holiday of lights is celebrated and un- derstood. The Hanukkah spelling has gone mainstream. So, if you like to slightly buck the trend and go traditional Chanukah is your spelling. With both correct, and about 14 others technically correct too, rest assured that you have an excellent shot at getting the spelling right. However, whether you are in tune with the latest spelling trend will be an entirely differ- ent story. No matter your choice, I wish you all a Happy Chanukah! Hanukah! Hanukkah! You get the message. Hoping to see you at our Chanukah luncheon. 1 http://time.com/3636698/right-spelling-hanukkah-chanukah-hannukah/ JUDAICIA SHOP by Norma Krasne-Levine The Judaica Shop has been restocked for Jewish Book Month, Thanksgiving and Chanukah. There are gifts for adults and children. Thus far, this year The Judaica Shop has sold over $225.00 worth of merchandise. This year the Chanukah Story Time Parties will be presented at seven differ- ent sites in Monroe County. We have been given a $500.00 grant by Mark Silver- berg from Federation to cover some of the costs of supplies which have previously been donat- ed by me and members of the Maccabee Mavens Committee. SOCIAL ACTION by Steven Levine Thanks to all the congregants who contributed so generously during our High Holiday Food Campaign. The foods went to the Kosher Food Pantry in Scranton and the Non-Kosher foods went to The Five Loaf House and the CAME Food Pantry. There is a desperate need for warm coats, jackets, sweaters, hats, gloves and scarves. Please NO summer clothes. As an RSVP HUGS Station we have been able to collect from various sites, donations of toiletries, pet food, clean underwear, duffel bags, fleece jackets, and lap robes. These items were distributed to Operation Chill Out: Veterans living in the woods, Valor House, various Food Pantries, and female Veterans in the VA Nursing Home. Working with Pocono Alliance and Operation Chill Out we were able to provide a needy veteran with a handicap van and a motorized wheel chair that was donated by the widow of a deceased veteran. Our congregation joined with St. Max on Sunday Oct. 15th in a “Stop the Hate Program”. On Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017 B’nai Harim will be hosting a “Unity Afternoon” with members of Monroe County United. Step by step B’nai Harim is working to repair the world.

Phone # is 561-694-1700 Call Maddy Mogel for reservations at 561-638-3740 TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME by GEORGE NOVICK Growing up in Brooklyn, I cheered the addition to the Dodgers of a Jewish Ball Player, Sandy Koufax, a Brooklyn boy out of Lafayette High School, on a basketball scholarship to Cincinnati, became the Dodger’s premier pitcher. I knew of Hank Greenberg, Al Rosen and Dodger outfielder Cal Abrams but Koofoo was a legitimate current all star. I couldn’t believe that Sandy did not play in the World Series on the Jewish holidays at the behest of Jake Pitler, a Dodger coach. Those were the days. Fast forward to the 2017 World Series. Two Jewish ball players were facing each other, Alex Bregman for Houston and Joc Pederson (3 Home Runs in Series) for LA. I, the assimilat- ed Jew, was elated. 2016 and 2017 had so many players who identified as Jews playing and managing. Here is a list of some of them. Craig Breslow, Ty Kelly, Jason Kipnis, Kevin Pillar, Ian Kinsler, Ryan Braun, Kevin Youkillis, Brad Ausmus, Sam Fuld, Scott Feldman et al. I guess, in some cases, you can’t tell the players without a DNA. I once heard a rendition of Take Me Out To The Ball Game in Yiddish. Maybe it should be played during the 7th inning stretch at the ball park. Before I end, don’t forget about Yankee Catcher Moe Berg who was an American spy extraordinaire in the 40’s.

    The Boston Red Sox Friday, June 16, 2017 * The Boston Globe Chris Sale brought his A game, but Red Sox didn’t bring bats Peter Abraham PHILADELPHIA — Chris Sale had a game he’ll never forget on Thursday night, for reasons good and ultimately bad. The Red Sox pitcher had the first extra-base hit of his career and ran the bases like a giraffe being chased by a lion, his long legs taking him to second base on a double in the eighth inning and then to third. But Sale was left stranded, then he allowed a run in the bottom of the inning as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Red Sox, 1-0. The unlikely victory snapped an eight-game losing streak for the Phillies and was their first shutout of the season. The Sox failed to sweep the four-game, home-and-home interleague series. It was the sixth time the Sox have been blanked, matching all of last season. They managed only five hits, struck out 12 times, and were 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position. The Sox open a three-game series at Houston on Friday night. The 45-22 Astros have the best record in baseball. Sale (8-3) pitched his best game in several weeks. He allowed the one run on four hits and struck out 10 with one walk. It was the ninth time in 14 starts that Sale struck out 10 or more. “Just an outstanding performance all the way around,” Sox manager John Farrell said. “He personally did everything that he could to impact this game.” Sale got through seven innings with 93 pitches and took his turn at bat to start the eighth inning.

  • Jewish Baseball by Justice Robert E
    Jewish Baseball by Justice Robert E. Gordon The Jewish players in the major leagues are: 1. Ryan Braun, age 34, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder in a 12-year career. Ryan’s father was born in Israel and Ryan became the 24th player to combine 300-plus homers with 200-plus stolen bases. Ryan will eclipse Hank Greenberg’s 331 homeruns this year. He was nine short at the start of the year. 2. Alex Bregman, age 24, Houston Astros third-baseman, was named Most Valuable Player in the American League in the All-Star Game in 2018, and finished 5th for the American League Most Valuable Player Award. Alex was a first-round draft pick. 3. Richard Bleier, age 30, is a left-handed pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles in his third big-league season, and had a 1.93 ERA last year. He had season-ending surgery and is on the DL. 4. Max Fried, age 24, is a left-handed pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, and is a promising star with a low ERA and may be one of the best relief pitchers in baseball. Max is a former first-round draft pick. 5. Ty Kelly, age 29, was a star for Team Israel, but this infielder and outfielder has yet to show such promise for the New York Mets. 6. Ian Kinsler, age 36, had a terrific major-league career as a great second-baseman, but this should be his last year in the majors with the San Diego Padres. 7. Ryan Lavarnway, age 30, a catcher, was a star on Team Israel, but has yet shown such promise for the Pittsburgh Pirates and now with the New York Yankees.

  • Cincinnati Reds'
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings November 14, 2015 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1889 - Cincinnati is granted re-admission to the National League. MLB.COM Young Reds pitchers familiar with Riggins New coach worked as club's Minor League pitching coordinator By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com / [email protected] / @m_sheldon CINCINNATI -- Heading into next season, the Reds have a pitching staff full of young pitchers and question marks about who might fill the various roles. Their new pitching coach, Mark Riggins, has a big advantage in one respect. The organization's Minor League pitching coordinator the past four seasons, Riggins has seen or worked with most of the pitchers currently on Cincinnati's roster. "My familiarity hopefully makes the transition between those guys and myself pretty easy," Riggins said. "The guys that have come through the system kind of understand already what I'm all about so that helps out a lot." Riggins, who will turn 59 on Jan. 3, attended Murray State University, where he met his future wife, Tammie. They live in Murray, Ky., approximately five hours from Cincinnati. He has spent most of his career on the development side of baseball. From 1996-2007, Riggins was the Cardinals' pitching coordinator and worked there for Walt Jocketty, who is now the Reds' president of baseball operations. Riggins also held the same role for the Cubs from 2008-10. As a pitcher for five seasons in the Cardinals' system, Riggins reached Triple-A in 1983 but got no further. His brief stints in the big leagues came as a pitching coach for the Cardinals in 1995 and the Cubs in 2011.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, March 25, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox minor leaguer tests positive for coronavirus Julian McWilliams The Red Sox announced Tuesday night that a minor leaguer had tested positive for COVID-19. The player’s positive test occurred March 23 following his return home. The Sox said he was last at Fenway South March 15. The Red Sox kept the player’s name confidential and believe he contracted the virus after leaving spring training. As a precaution, the Red Sox decided to shut down all activity at Fenway South for at least two weeks. The facility will undergo a deep cleaning to disinfect the area. The Sox have instructed all players who came in close contact with the minor leaguer to self-quarantine for two weeks. Manager Ron Roenicke noted during a conference call last week that most of the major league players had returned home, but approximately eight to 15 players stayed back to work out. During that call, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said although a player hadn’t tested positive for the virus to that point, he knew it was a possibility. “That’s something we’re being very vigilant in monitoring,” Bloom said. “You look around and where this is going, obviously we know that it’s very, very possible that it’s going to happen at some point. We’re just trying to make sure everyone is educated and, again, stay in touch with everybody.” A new group is advocating for minor leaguers to be paid above the poverty line Michael Silverman A new group thinks minor league baseball players ought to earn a salary above the poverty line.
