He asked them 7:30 pm: Kabbalat Shabbat what factors turned them off to synagogues and alienated them from organized religion. Many respondents felt that the Jewish world tried Saturday, March 7, 2015 ADAR 16 to teach them a parochialism of Jewish suffering. Too many Jews 10:00 am: Ki Tisa acted as though nobody else had ever suffered. The uniqueness of 12:00 pm: Adult Ed with Rabbi Gale the Holocaust was then used as a way of dismissing the pain of everyone else.

HEbREW TAbERNACLE B u L L e T I N | 3 The Hebrew Tabernacle’s Armin and Estelle Gold Wing March/April 2015 in the Gold Wing DIANA SCHMERTz American Conceptual Painter - Moments of Contact -

Diana Schmertz is interested in the systems people create in order to organize what they perceive in the world. Whether based in science, religion, psychology or philosophy, she believes we always ﬁlter through our physical senses. For this reason she uses imagery of the body to depict “moments of contact” between the self and the other. Ms. Schmertz invites the viewer to engage at a distance as well as at close range, as our inherent struggle to simultaneously understand rela- tionships from both the subjective and the objective, the or- dered and the chaotic, echoes within us.

Ms. Schmertz teaches art to high school students in Irvington, NY. She has invited them to design a coopera- tive piece for this exhibit. our Gold Wing artist has lived in the neighbor- hood for the past ﬁve years and has exhibited her artwork nationally and internationally. Artist’s Opening Reception, Monday, March 2, 6:30 – 7:30 pm Many of Ms. Nedelay’s pieces are for sale with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Hebrew Tabernacle. A price list is available.

They have patched all the locations from which loose brick material was removed and installed all the mounting bars for the Bone White Litsco cladding system. The cladding system has been installed on the north and most of the west parapet walls. Some of the capping covers for the capstone have been installed on the south side and can be seen from the street level. The work has been halted for now due to cold weather and the accumulation of snow and ice on the roof. HOW TIME FLIES Yes, it has already been eight years since our congregation celebrated its 100th anniversary with a gala dinner. Those of you who were there will recall what a wonderful event it was. It was also the most successful fundraiser for the Tabernacle in recent history. Well, in just two short years our congregation will be turning 110. Now is the time to start planning our gala event and forming a committee. You do not have to be a board member to be on the committee. If interested, please see me or Joan. Let’s make this event more spectacular then our last one. SAVE YOUR DATE Just a reminder: 2015 has started off as a busy year for rentals at HT. Don’t be left out! If you’re planning an event this year, please reserve your space way in advance so you will not be disappointed. SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS We would like to create a group to address safety issues in general. If you are interested in joining this group please contact me. —Mike Klein, Vice President
