    The Composers — ROBERT APPLEBAUM (bobapplebaum.com) For many years, music was an abiding love but a professional sideline for Robert Applebaum, who taught physics and chemistry at New Trier High School, Winnetka, IL, from 1965 until his retirement in June 2000. He began composing choral music for the Jewish liturgy in 1980 and has written three Sabbath services, including one for choir and jazz trio. He has composed choral settings of many psalms as well as non-secular texts. Professional, community, and children’s choirs throughout the world have performed Applebaum’s music. Chicago a cappella included two of his Chanukah pieces on their 2002 recording Holidays Live and three of his settings of Shakespeare texts on their highly acclaimed 2005 Çedille release, Shall I Compare Thee? His setting of Im Ein Ani Li Mi Li is included on Chicago a cappella’s 2010 recording, Days of Awe and Rejoicing. As a jazz pianist/composer, he has three albums to his credit: Hora and Blue (Global Village, 1993) with the Modern Klezmer Quartet, The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree (jazz piano duos with his son Mark Applebaum (Innova, 2002), and Friday Night Jazz Service (2007). ROBERT APPLEBAUM on El Malei Rachamim “When Cantor Nancy Kassel contacted me with the assignment to set this prayer, my first re- sponse was ‘Thank you for giving me such a juicy text!’. Three images in this text resonated for me: A merciful and compassionate God, the wings of the Shechinah providing shelter and repose, and the binding of the souls of those who have died to Adonai, and by extension, to us, the living.

MESAJE DE PESAH 5773 Dr. AUREL VAINER, deputat, preşedintele F.C.E.R. Pesah, sărbătoarea eliberării noastre din Miţraim, are un caracter profund educativ. Hagada şel Pesah, carte de istorie despre naşterea poporului evreu, ni se adresează tuturor, dar, cu precădere, copiilor, tinerilor. Şi, faptul că, atâţia câţi sunt, tinerii noştri îşi manifestă dorinţa de a trăi ca evrei, dovedeşte forţa de revigorare a comunităţii noastre. Participarea lor, dar şi a eno- riaşilor din toate generaţiile, la serile comunitare de Seder sunt chezăşia continuităţii, expresia demnităţii şi a integrităţii obştii evreilor români. Puterea de a fi rezistat a strămoşilor noştri, con- fruntaţi cu situaţii de mare cumpănă – în spate, armata faraonului, în faţă, Marea Roşie – şi a le fi depăşit, ne dă, astăzi, tăria de a riposta unor provocări negaţio- niste, cum a fost cea a lui Vladimir Iliescu, care, sub cupola Academiei Române, cu ocazia lansării a două volume din „Enciclopedia regimului comunist”, a negat Holocaustul în România. Am solicitat preşedintelui Academiei, prof. univ. dr. acad. Ionel Haiduc, de a se desolidariza de asemenea afi rmaţii, apelând la legis- laţia românească în vigoare, respectiv, Legea 107/ 2006, care defi neşte Holocaustul. Proteste similare au venit din partea preşedintelui Asociaţiei Victimelor Holocaustului în România, dr. Liviu Beris, ca şi din par- tea unor reprezentanţi de marcă – oameni de cultură, politologi, oameni de afaceri din România.

Every Day. YOU, our parents, business leaders, educators and community members, are critical partners in providing every child in our community with exceptional educational opportunities, every day. The funding our District receives from the state is simply not enough. Throughout the country, counties are empowered to decide how much funding to invest in their local education systems. In California, per-pupil funding is determined at the state level. All schools receive funding on a per-pupil basis, and districts with greater numbers of students who qualify for free and reduced lunch, and are English Language Learners receive additional funding. As a result, in 2016/17 MBUSD received roughly $9,600 per student, putting our funding level at the bottom of the state and the country. With an investment of more than $6M from our community, MBEF is able to increase per student spending by nearly 9%. In the 2017/18 school year, donations to MBEF will pay for 73 educators, offering our children music, hands-on science, physical education, stronger math, reading, writing and technology instruction, librarians, and electives like STEM, film and robotics.
