Lots of events are going on, a message you have heard from me month-after-month, but it's true. So, here is a recap of items that may be of interest. As March wrapped up, we had Alekzander Jenkins’ Bar Mitzvah. Purim Carnival wrapped up too as a great success and kudos to all who put this wonderful event together. From the food, to the booths, to the fun, I hope you all recognize how well Temple Israel presented to those partaking. March also included a Megillah Reading, Purim Dinner, and Wine tasting with our friends of Tem- ple Shir Shalom. I am going to go out on a limb to say that it went off without a hitch, as I write this, and all had a great time spinning their groggers and costumes were awesome like they always are. Mishloach Manot goody bags were filled and were available for pickup at Shul. Thank you to all putting this effort together for another year, and hopefully you joined in one of the many events to pick up your bag or those in your circle of friends to help disseminate them. Skydiving came and went on March 27th. Thanks to all participating in memory-making and for stepping out of what might be a comfort zone. I read a phrase online that I thought was very ap- propriate to Temple Israel: The most dangerous phrase in the English language is "We've always done it this way." How true, if we do not step out of our comfort zone, trying new things, chang- ing things a little or a lot, the world will pass us by. Committees are meeting; minds are working overtime to keep TI at the forefront of technology and innovation in programming. Passover is coming up faster than you think. Ways and Means Committee is taking care of Second Night Seder this year, and sign ups are happening already, not only for joining in the feast, but for volunteers. We look forward to a very well-attended and enjoyable evening of wonderful food and drink. Finally, we are still on track to see the Sanctuary Foyer renovated, the ladies room renovated, and the men's room freshened up. We will also have two television monitors hung to inform everyone about upcoming events, one in the Foyer and one in the Social Hall. We are excited to see a trans- formation of these spaces, making our house even more of a home. I hope to see you all at ser- vices, whether Friday night, or Saturday mornings. There is something special at Temple Israel; be a part of it. L’Shalom, Mark Kluger [email protected] 3 From Our Congregational Life Coordinator By Susan Bernstein s an educator, it would be difficult to pass up the opportunity to talk A about the Four Children who are described in the Pesach Haggadah. Our classrooms contain children who learn at different paces, through a variety of senses, modes, and intelligences. Our challenge as parents and educators is to be aware of the child who stands before us and attempt to teach them according to their ability. The Seder serves as a forum for the asking of questions. The narrative in the Haggadah is meant to guide us in the question/answer choreography between adult and child. The wise child’s question displays his/her thirst for knowledge – “Therefore you must expound to them the laws of the Passover, that we may not eat anything after the paschal sacrifice.” This par- ticular law (regarding the paschal sacrifice) is the very last one mentioned in the Mishnah about Passover, so the idea is to answer the wise child by teaching him/her everything, down to the last detail. The wicked child asks, “What is this service to you?” implying that this has nothing to do with him/ her. By speaking in this way, they are excluding themselves from the Jewish community. In my opinion, the response is problematic. It is a harsh statement that potentially alienates him/her fur- ther from the home experience and community participation. It does not open opportunities for dialogue nor does it try to understand why this child feels the way they do. The Haggadah states, “Blunt their teeth and say, ‘It is because of that which the Lord did for me when I came forth from Egypt; for me not for him/her – for if he/she had been there, he/she would not have been re- deemed.’ It takes extreme patience to deal with a child like this, but it should be our goal to find the path that speaks to him/her and keep them engaged at home and in our classroom. - continued on page 5 4 - continued from page 4 The simple child asks, “What is this?” This question reveals a lack of understanding. They are amazed at everything. The parent should give a concise and clear answer to match the child’s intelli- gence and ability to comprehend. And the child who does not know how to ask, you shall yourself begin for him/her. This is the child who has not begun to learn yet. It is the parent’s responsibility to take the initiative and to in- struct them, to encourage them and to stimulate them to learn. It is a mistake to assume that only children fall into the four categories stated above. As we get older, it becomes increasingly more difficult to acknowledge that we may lack knowledge of Jewish customs and laws, ceremonies or language and are embarrassed to ask questions and seek answers.

NO GATES OF JEWISH LEARNING: Sunday, March 15 & Sunday, March 22 for Spring Break A MESSAGE FROM RABBI JOSHUA FRANKLIN Purim as a Spatula One day when I was living in Jerusalem, I felt a little homesick. I decided to make some American comfort food for breakfast, which for me, was pancakes. The only problem was that I didn’t have a spatula, nor any ingredients in my apartment. While I knew how to say “eggs,” beitzim, and “flour,” kemach, I had no idea about the Hebrew word for “spatula.” This was before the days when you could pull out an iPhone and simply look it up, and I didn’t think to grab a Hebrew-English dictionary from my library shelf before I headed to the market to purchase eggs, flour, and a spatula. On my way over, I used my Hebrew grammar to construct a word that I believed would mean ,meaning to flip, combined with the grammatical construct for a tool ,הפך spatula.” The root“ which judging by the person’s ,אני מחפש מהפך should yield “spatula.” At the market, I asked someone ,(mahpach) מהפך perplexed face, I knew did not mean what I thought it meant.

  • Jewish Bakeries and Baked Goods in London and Berlin
    Cultures in Transit Diaspora Identities: Jewish Bakeries and Baked Goods in London and Berlin DEVORAH ROMANEK This essay investigates how material culture acts as an agent of cultural construction when social and cultural practices are geographically displaced. It does this by taking a comparative look at current Jewish Diaspora communities in London and Berlin, and by analyzing the production, consumption and broader meaning of three Jewish baked goods – matzos, challah and bagels - in the context of Diaspora communities in these two cities. The comparison between London and Berlin also allows a consideration of the construction of ‘locality’/‘setting’, particularly in the transient sense of a fluid concept of sense-of-place as constructed against a backdrop of material culture; additionally, the level of religious observance; the contrast of notions of ‘fixed’ and ‘fluid’, and ‘traditional’ and ‘cosmopolitan’; and the agency of the baked goods themselves is observed and analyzed. Introduction Anthropological discussions on the theme of cultures in movement, that is to say Diaspora, or the more contemporary notions of globalization and transnationalism, offer many disparate theories. There is the argument that globalization as a post- modern phenomenon is bringing an end to the practice of ‘tradition’ and ‘traditional cultures’, and that it is inviting a worldwide culture of heterogeneity .1 1 For a discussion of this see Anthony Giddens, “Living in a post-traditional society”, in Ulrich Beck, Reflexive Modernization: Politics, Tradition and Aesthetics in the Modern Social Order, Cambridge, Polity Press, 1994. Diaspora Identities: Jewish Bakeries and Baked Goods in London and Berlin There is the counter-argument that the pressure or threat (perceived or real) felt by various communities and cultures against their ‘traditional’ ways has induced a counter-reaction, which is being expressed in renewed and intensified forms of nationalism, and increasingly more delineated and defined concepts of self and community.

Сумы, 40007, Украина В статье исследуются музыкальные образы-гештальты концепта schtetl/shtetl в русском, немецком языках и идиш, основанные на данных словарей, энциклопедий и справочников. Устанавливаются ассоциативные связи музыкальной и лингвокультурологической памяти. Анализируются ментальный лексикон, логические отношения между гештальтами концепта и фамилии. Ключевые слова: музыкальный гештальт, штетл, местечко, концепт, эйдетическая память. Оyfn veg shteyt a boym, shteyt er arayngeboygn, ale feygl funem boym zanen sikh tserfloygn. Dray ken mayrev, dray ken misrekh, un der resht ken dorem, un dem boym gelozt aleyn hefker far dem shturem. – У дороги, над ручьём, дерево в печали – птицы, что гнездились в нём, все давно умчали, кто на запад и восток, кто подался к югу, кров их снова одинок, ожидает вьюгу (1). Актуальность выбранной темы связана с уникальностью способов постижения мира каждой языковой личности, включающей следующие компоненты: 1) мировоззренческий – систему ценностей или жизненных смыслов; 2) культурологический – уровень освоения культуры; 3) личностный – индивидуальное, глубинное, что есть в каждом человеке, 4) музыкальный, т. е. эмоционально-чувственный. По мере развития мотивационно-потребностной сферы человека может изменяться его отношение к своему прошлому, вследствие чего одно и то же знание может по-разному храниться в памяти человека. Человеческая память ассоциативна, то есть некоторое воспоминание может порождать большую связанную с ним область, когда один предмет напоминает нам о другом по цепочке умственных ассоциаций. Всего лишь несколько музыкальных тактов, несколько строчек из старых песен могут вызвать целую гамму чувственных воспоминаний, включая пейзажи, звуки и запахи.

  • A Twist on the Traditional Challah Bread
    A Twist on the Traditional Challah By Julia Moskin New York Times, Dec. 1, 2015 Credit...Sabra Krock for The New York Times Bread — shaping it, baking it, blessing it and sharing it — is part of almost every Jewish holiday. The bond among Jews, God and bread goes back to the first five books of the Bible: As the Israelites are about to end their exile, God commands them to show gratitude by setting aside a portion, or “challah,” of all the bread they make after entering the Holy Land. But nowhere in Jewish scripture is it written that challah is a braided, sweet, yellow, deliciously squishy bread of the kind familiar to most American Jews, which comes from the rich tradition of Eastern European baking. There is another world of challah that evolved from the Middle East and North Africa, where the Sabbath breads were sometimes plain (the better to eat with the region’s tangy, fiery and salty dishes) and sometimes sweet and spicy, with honey, dried fruit, caraway, sesame and — especially significant for Hanukkah — olive oil. “That this could be challah was a revelation to me,” said Jessamyn Waldman Rodriguez, the founder of Hot Bread Kitchen in Manhattan, who grew up in Toronto and learned about “alternative” challahs in a Jewish baking class. Now, one of the breads turned out by her East Harlem bakery is a Sephardic challah: a round, golden coil, eggless and unsweetened but crunchy with sesame, caraway and cumin seeds. “When I developed the recipe, I was thinking about the bread I’d like to eat with a Moroccan tagine,” she said, “and I also love it just dipped in honey — the spicy and the sweet together.” In most of the modern Jewish world, the term “challah” now refers to a soft yeasted bread with an even, airy crumb.
