Recently someone shared a Christmas video on Facebook, created by a church in Charlotte, NC. In the video, a family wakes up wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper, shouting thanks for being alive. The father walks around the house enjoying being able to turn on lights, use the sink, shower, eat breakfast, go to work, and have a car. All of these things are wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper as he shouts his wondrous appreciation for all of the things he has in his life.

This is not just a Christmas message, but a Chanukah message as well (and birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, etc.). If we could show appreciation for all the things we have, especially those things that not everyone has, we would really understand what the December holidays are all about. Chanukah, especially, is a time for celebrating miracles. Whether we are celebrating the storied miracle of the single cruse of oil lasting eight days or the wonder of the ragtag priests’ army defeating the mighty Greco-Syrians, we acknowledge “...the miracles God creates for our ancestors at this season in those days,” (...she’asah nissim la’avoteinu bayamim hahem baz’man hazeh.) We can also acknowledge the miracles that are around us all the time.

The video from Charlotte, NC reminds me of the daily blessings, nissim b’chol yom, “Everyday Miracles.” The series of blessings thanks God for opening the eyes of the blind, clothing the naked, and giving strength to the weary. These blessings, written in grand language, also point to miracles that are actually daily, like opening our eyes when we wake up, getting dressed, and feeling strengthened in the morning. If we were able to truly give thanks for all of these daily miracles every day, we would likely seem like the father in the video. At the same time, we would be able to acknowledge that our lives are full of blessing. Even when we don’t get everything we want (you can read that as gifts or simply as what life gives us), we are surrounded by things that make our lives wonderful. We have homes, cars, food on the table, and a terrific community. These are miracles that we surround ourselves with every day, for which we should remember to be thankful.

The first candle for Chanukah will be lit on the evening of December 2, and we hope everyone will join us for Shabbat at 6:30 PM on December 7 with a special Chanukah dinner after the Family Shabbat service! Bring your Chanukiah, bring the miracles in your life (your family), and celebrate Chanukah and Shabbat with us.

(*That night, BTZY will be sleeping at CBT, so make sure to register your teen for our 8- 12 grade lock in! See the flyer for more details.) 2

23 Kislev — 23 Tevet 5779 December 2018

As you read this, it is already well past Thanksgiving, but not as I write it. It is early in November, and I am looking forward to time with my family and wearing stretchy pants after a really big meal. Right about now, I typically begin reflecting on the most important things in my life: my husband, my kids, my health, my friends. I am so very fortunate, and I am thankful.

Being thankful is something Jews do daily. A great portion of our liturgy is about giving thanks for everything we experience every day. We are thankful for bread and wine. We are thankful for surviving until morning. We are thankful for seeing rainbows. We say shehechayanu every time we have a special moment or experience something for the first time. All of these daily blessings remind us that God provides us with so much, and we are eternally appreciative. One of my favorite melodies from camp is for Modeh Ani, a daily acknowledgement of thanks, often spoken immediately upon waking before even getting out of bed: “I give thanks before you, Living and Eternal King, that you have returned within me my soul with compassion; how abundant is your faithfulness!”

This week has been an impactful one for all of us. We learned of the senseless deaths of 11 Jews as they prayed on Shabbat in Pittsburgh. We voted and watched our democracy in action. We mourned the loss of 12 young people at a bar in Thousand Oaks. We witnessed devastating destruction from the various fires across California. It is natural for us to feel great thanks for surviving all of the incidents, and to be so appreciative that our family and friends remained safe. Honestly, I feel a bit conflicted about thanking God for keeping me safe when so many others suffered or died. Were they any less deserving of his mercy?

As I read up about thankfulness online, I also saw many references to gratitude or being grateful. At first, I thought being thankful and being grateful were interchangeable, but I began rethinking this initial impression when I found this very impactful quote:

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist of merely words. Gratitude is shown in acts. Henri Frederic Amiel

Wow. What a wake-up call.

It is quite one thing to be thankful, but to be truly grateful, we must turn this feeling into action. We can and must help others who are less fortunate. We can and must assist those who are struggling or who have experienced loss. And being from Congregation B’nai Tzedek (a people committed to justice), there’s no way we will back down from any opportunity to help others.

If you are feeling like you would like to elevate your thankfulness to gratitude, consider supporting one of these worthy efforts to aid the victims of this past week’s devastation:

1) Go Fund Me page to aid the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting: https://www.gofundme.com/tree-of-life-synagogue-shooting

2) Ventura County Community Foundation to support the victims, families and organizations providing first and second line support in Thousand Oaks: https://vccf.org/donate/make-a-donation/

3) American Red Cross relief to victims of the Woolsey fire in Malibu: www.redcross.org/about-us/our-work/disaster-relief/wildfire- relief.html

Yours in gratitude,

Shellie Halprin

23 Kislev — 23 Tevet 5779 December 2018

Cantorial Corner These past few months have been filled with challenging and heart-breaking moments for the Jewish people. Our world was shaken by the events in Pittsburgh in early November, and the destruction of three beloved Jewish camps in the Woolsey Fire has led to an alarming realization that the physical places we hold up as sources of light and love in our community are fragile and impermanent. December brings with it the holiday of Chanukah. During this holiday, we fend off the darkness casting its shadows within our world by filling our homes with bright light. We imagine the spirit of the Divine to be with us as we add a new candle each night to our Chanukkiah. By the eighth night, we are surrounded by this light that has grown from a single, tiny spark to a shining, powerful symbol of strength and unity. As Rabbi Amy Eilberg explains, “In matters of holiness, we must rise, as our pain about the way things are gives way to expanding circles of beauty and possibility. In ritual, we move upward and outward...expanding our capacity for gratitude about what is and for faith in what can be...the sight of the Chanukkiah, moving from faint light to a blaze of nine beautiful candles, is precisely what we need in these times.” I am immensely grateful to our community, which I know in my heart will always be a source of light, peace, and hope in these troubled times. As we light our Chanukkiot and celebrate Shabbat with our 8th-12th grade class on December 7, let us spread joy and gratitude together. Let us lift up our voices in song as we fill our sanctuary with love and light! I look forward to celebrating with you.

B’Shirah,

Jenna Sagan

23 Kislev — 23 Tevet 5779 December 2018

CBT Brotherhood has been busy in recent weeks with our social action effort to honor veterans by organizing a donation to the Tibor Rubin VA Healthcare System Fisher House in Long Beach. The Fisher House offers food and lodging to veterans and their families during visits and stays at the VA medical facility. President Greg Halprin presented the donation of more than $400 plus gift cards to Fisher House staff on November 20. Also present was Brotherhood member Gary Hopkins who is on the Fisher House board. Thank you to those who donated.

On December 2, Rabbi Young will lead a philosophical discussion on two topics: “Are children punished for the sins of their parents?” and “Jewish concepts of men in power and our responsibilities to each other." This Brotherhood breakfast program is arranged by Darrell Neft, Lari Davis, and our President, Greg Halprin, who will put down his gavel and take up a spoon to scramble the eggs. Admission is free and open to all.

On a less serious note, this year's annual December 24 Brotherhood Movie Night will feature a light- hearted comedy called “The Yankels”, about Charlie Jones, a washed up, ex-major league ballplayer and how he gets a second chance at life and love by managing an orthodox Jewish yeshiva baseball team. This film was written, produced, and directed by Zev Brooks, cantor at Temple Beth Emet in Anaheim. Screen time will be 7:00 PM in the CBT social hall. Admission is free and open to all CBT members. Please bring a snack to share.

Brotherhood lauds the CBT Senior Activities Committee for its Trivia Night program on November 3, conducted in part by Brotherhood board members Bernie Kessler, Martin Heimlich, and Harris Stutman, who was master of ceremonies for the event. Instead of just listening or watching, attendees competed in teams to answer trivia questions from Harris and win prizes.

For those who like such action, we are “betting” you will not “fold” on the opportunity to take part in Brotherhood's 2nd annual poker tournament FUNdraiser January 26 at 6:30 PM in the CBT social hall. The tournament is open to CBT members and their friends. Buy-in is $40 with a few opportunities to re-buy throughout the evening and special prizes for those who knock out Rabbi Young and CBT President Shellie Halprin. Last year's winners were, in order of finish, Bernie Kessler, Joel Tankenson, and Bill Geltman. For more information, please see the flyers in the temple lobby or contact Al Davidson at [email protected].

Moving further into 2019, Brotherhood will be hosting a Dinner and Dance Party on February 16 in the CBT social hall. This event will feature live music from the Copy Cats, who played so well for us last year, and will be catered by Newport Rib Company. Last year's event was a smashing success, with over 80 attendees. This event is open to all members of CBT.

Brotherhood Secretary Gary Miller has set up a tour of the Orange County Sanitation District plant in Fountain Valley on March 12 to view the multi-million dollar operation which provides drinking water for the area and recycles used water for irrigation purposes. Contact Gary at garymengineer@.com to RSVP or for more information. This event is open to all members of CBT.

CBT is hosting California Jews on Tuesday, January 15, 2019 at 7:00 PM. There is no cost to attend and no RSVP is necessary.

California Jews, Brandeis University Press. “If you want to be poor all your life,” an eastern European Jewish immigrant was told, “go to New York. If you want to be rich, go to the other side,” meaning California, where economic prosperity and social acceptance promised Golden State Jews opportunities unknown in the East. For many new Jewish immigrants, California became the new promised land, even as it challenged many New York-centered assumptions about American Jewish life. Whether you are native to California, New York, or anywhere in between, come hear a provocative talk that just might undo the way you think about American Jewry.
