FUNDRAISING GOALS We need to provide better programming for children and adults, and to develop a more effective way of communicating with/reaching We very much hope the shul goes from potential members via Social Media. strength to strength and the event

In the nearly 5 years of operating, we’ve been told continuously that is a great success. our credibility (and ability to draw-in members) will depend on having The Deacons permanent premises. WHAT DO WE WANT TO PRESERVE? Music, food, and ethnography of Sephardim and of Mizrahim, or Jews of Arab Lands, have had some visibility in the UK, but our history and our literature (such as poetry, charms, enumeration songs) has been nearly invisible; and in our schools, our Nusakh has been virtually absent from the classroom. There is a certain Sephardi warmth and Kabbalistic approach to life and to our religion which we wish to celebrate and carry forward.

An event we all perceive as central, the Holocaust has taken up much space in the Jewish psyche in the past 70 years. Holocaust memory plays a central role in the Jewish narrative history of our times and current articulations of Jewish identity. As more and more of our families are Sephardi/Ashkenazi, the Holocaust experiences are increasingly becoming a part of our combined family histories.

The Nazi actions in Europe are well known; the ramifications of the Holocaust on the life of the Jews of Arab lands and of the Sephardim – particularly in the Balkans and Aegean – less so. In North Africa, the Holocaust did not wreak the final destruction of the Jewish communities that it did in most countries of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe.

Yet understanding the fullness of our Jewish identity requires that we also learn of the impact of the Holocaust on Arab and Islamic nationalism and on the rise of the State of Israel – which in turn has played an important role in the narrative of displacement of Jewish communities out of Arab lands.

So, what do we want to preserve?

We want to preserve the history of our communities, and correct the sense of exclusion from the impact of the Holocaust on Sephardim and Mizrahim. We want to preserve our memories and correct the marginalisation of Jews in Arab lands.

We want to preserve our language – both our Hebrew pronunciation and our Ladino and other dialects such as Judeo-Arabic. We want to cherish our literature our philosophy, our melodies, our prayer and our songs. On the occasion of my upcoming Bar Mitzvah I would like to thank our community Elders for all your work to ensure that me and my friends at Rambam Sephardi will have a welcoming community home. Sam Misan

Yom Kippur Acrylic/Oil on Canvas Bettina Caro wasCaro born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1955 and grew 90 x 90 cms up in Tangiers. She is a direct descendant of Rabbi Yosef Caro (1488- Reserve Price: £900.00 1575) author of the great codification of Jewish law, the Shulchan Aruch. From an early age, Caro showed an aptitude for drawing which was encouraged by her father, a keen amateur painter. In 1973, Bettina Caro moved to Madrid and studied art and architecture at the University of Madrid.

Bettina came to England in 1981. Since that time, she has worked continuously in oils, watercolour and gouache. Today, her subjects range from still life to breathtaking landscape and Jewish themes. Her unique approach to biblical subjects conveys the intensity of impressionism, an approach that the viewer is able to relate to with warmth and understanding. Her inspirations come mainly from her love of travel which has enabled her to combine her ‘Jewish themes’ 2. with her passion for sun and colour found in her landscapes of Israel, The Gold Chanukak Provence and Tuscany. You can feel the wonderful Mediterranean Acrylic on Canvas heat in her paintings and be entranced by the rich and varied 60 x 50 cms colours. Reserve Price £990.00 In 2011, a book focusing on Caro’s work from the past 35 years was published by the LJCC. The volume, the first publication about Moroccan-born Caro, accompanied her exhibition ‘A Journey into Sepharad’ and focuses primarily on Caro’s Sepharad paintings of her native Morocco which are inspired by her childhood growing up in Tangiers. There are also sections dedicated to her scenes of Jewish ritual, portraits of prominent members of the Sephardi community in Great Britain and landscpaes of Israel and Provence.

At the Tu B’Shvat seder, it is traditional to drink four cups of wine, similar TuINTRODUCTION B’Shvat to Pesah. Tu B’Shvat is an ancient celebration of the New Year for trees that offers a unique opportunity for insight into living and personal growth. First Cup pure white It’s an opportunity to explore how we can renew and strengthen our Second Cup pale pink (white with a drop of red wine) heritage. Third Cup darker pink (with more red added) Fourth Cup almost totally red (with only a drop of white) The roots of Tu B’Shvat are found in the Mishah (Tractate Rosh Hashanah) that ‘the New Year of the Trees” divided the tithing of one White wine represents nature in potential. Red wine represents nature year’s crop from the next – the end and start of the tax year. After the in full. On this day, we begin to leave the winter behind and move into expulsion from the Land of Israel, Tu B’Shvat went underground, like a a period of renewal. We drink the wine (or grape juice) in conjunction seed, un-germinated, lying beneath the soil of Jewish thought and life. with four different categories of fruit; many eaten as they are, others needing their peels removed, and some with abundantly fragrant The expulsion from Spain in 1492 scattered Jews in many directions, aromas. and some landed in Tzfat. Like a forest fire that cracks open dormant seeds, Tzfat’s kabbalists rediscovered Tu B’Shvat and began a period Each of these corresponds to four spiritual realms (from lowest to of mystical celebration of the festival. highest): Action – Asiah, Formation – Yetzirah, Creation – Beriah, Emanation of Godliness – Atzilut. Each level enables us to become Tonight we will conduct a Seder – we will drink four cups of wine and more connected to G-d. As we eat, we elevate the fruits – and eat four different types of fruit. Each of the 4 sections corresponds ourselves – rising higher and higher. with one of four mystical worlds. Tu B’Shvat is designed to help us think about our responsibility towards the natural world on four different CUP 1: PHYSICALITY levels: Physical Place, Community, World and Spirituality. White wine represents nature in potential, our relationships with Land and Place “Baruch Ata Adon-ai Elohai-nu Melech HaOlam boray pri This fourfold frame allows us to think about the food we eat, the world ha-gefen.” “Blessed are you God, King of the universe who creates that sustains us, and our role and responsibility in building for the future. the fruit of the vine.”

We chose to celebrate our 5th Anniversary Gala on Tu B’Shvat as an We will now partake of a fruit that cannot be eaten unless its peel example of the rebirth of Jewish Life, an opportunity for all of us to or shell is removed. For example: nuts, pomegranate, oranges or deepen our roots, and for a new sapling to branch out afresh from avocado. The edible part of the fruit corresponds to perfection and Borehamwood, to engage the world. purity, while the inedible is connected to deficiency and limitation. This is parallel to the realm of Action (Asiah), the lowest spiritual world – a world which is enveloped by materialism, just as the fruit is enveloped in its peel/shell. CUP 2: RELATIONSHIP WITH COMMUNITY Communities are built on a series of relationships. Communities today are defined differently compared to the world of our grandparents. Mobile and technologically connected, our communities are constantly changing and re-inventing themselves.

Drink the second cup of wine (white with a drop of red). As the colour of the wine begins to get darker, potential turns into reality. The inedible part has now moved from the outside to the inside of the fruit. We will now enjoy some fruits with inedible seeds. For example; olives, dates, peaches, plums, cherries.

This stage is comparable to the realm of Formation (Yetzirah). The edible parts of the fruit represent holiness. Pits represent limitations which have penetrated the holiness.

CUP 3: RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORLD It is our responsibility to ensure that we preserve our planet. How do we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs?

Drink the third cup of wine (dark pink). Now we eat fruit that is completely edible; blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. Nothing about these fruits needs to be thrown away. This represents us in our full potential, in a state that is ideal. This is the realm of Creation (Briah), the highest level in the created world.

CUP 4: SPIRITUALITY Let’s celebrate with a glass of dark red wine (add a drop of white). Once we’ve reached our goal – it’s time to share our success with others. This is represented by eating fragrant fruits – fruits that not only taste good but bring pleasure to others with their smell.

We now taste the fruit on the table with the best fragrance, comparable to the realm of pure Godliness (Atzilut). In Leviticus 23:40, the Etrog is described as pri aitz hadar – “fruit of the majestic tree.” The Etrog’s fruit has fine taste and smell. On Tu B’Shvat, when all trees are judged, we pray for a beautiful Etrog. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT BEING SEPHARDI?

I enjoy being a Sephardi because the melodies at our services are hugely entertaining and uplifting, and our Synagogue expresses its enthusiasm through our tunes. I also enjoy being able to eat rice on Pesach, because it is my favourite food. Joel, Aged 15 Best Wishes I consider myself to be very lucky to have exposure to both Sephardi (through my Dad) and Ashkenazi (through my Mum) culture and traditions. When I from think of being Sephardi the things that specifically come to mind are: having the opportunity to read Zemirot out loud in synagogue, singing Yimloch, Bernard & Yvonne Mocatta eating yummy food and listening to my Dad’s Sephardi accent when he recites Kiddush! I will soon be celebrating my Barmitzvah and I am proud of the fact that I will be singing the Haftorah in the Sephardi style (along with Ashkenazi leaning). Most of my friends are not lucky to have the benefit of a mix of cultures in this way.

Rambam Sephardi plays a big part in my life and in enabling me to continue my Dad’s traditions. Noah Arazi, Aged 12 I enjoy being Sephardi as we have an interesting culture.
