CBT’S MARCH INTO THE 21st CENTURY BEGINS IN MARCH 2018!
Here is an offer you won’t want to refuse…it’s a chance to have a positive impact on CBT—all without having to do a thing.
What if YOU could save CBT money every single month going forward? What if YOU could save CBT volunteers’ time and effort every single month going forward?
You’d do it, right? Sure you would!
Well, it’s not a dream or a wish; it’s reality and it will begin in March! Here are the details:
The Bulletin you are reading is the last one CBT will mail via the United States Postal Service. Instead, everyone in the congregation will take the lead of some congregants who are already receiving their monthly Bulletins electronically. Here’s the procedure to follow, beginning with the March Bulletin:
--Use any device you prefer (smart phone, laptop computer, desktop computer, tablet). --Log in to www.cbtfv.org. --Click on “CBT Bulletins.” --Click on the month and year for the Bulletin you would like to read. --Read it, or if you prefer, print the Bulletin and read the hard copy at your leisure.
Consider the impact of not mailing hundreds of sixteen-page Bulletins every single month:
--No postage expense. Imagine the positive impact on the CBT budget! --No paper expense. Think about the positive impact on the CBT budget and the environment! (Each printed Bulletin requires MANY pieces of paper, 11 times a year. The cost of the paper is over $500 a year.) --Greater time flexibility for volunteers who compose and edit the Bulletin. --No volunteer time necessary to assemble the Bulletin. --No volunteer time necessary to deliver the Bulletin to the post office.
Contact the CBT office at 714-963-4611 or [email protected] with questions. Contact CBT President Shellie Halprin at [email protected] with your feedback.
Let’s join arms as we march into the 21st century and do a mitzvah for CBT at the same time!
If you must have a paper copy mailed to you, contact the CBT office at 714-963-4611 to let us know.

16 Shevat — 13 Adar 5778 February 2018
The Amalekites are the eternal bad guys of the Bible. They attack a thirsty, exhausted, confused Israel just after they escape Egypt (Exodus 17:8ff). God commands us to blot out their name from under heaven (Deuteronomy 25:19) because of this attack. They perform raids against the Israelites, ravaging the land just after they sowed their crops and making it impossible to sustain themselves with their harvest (Judges 6:3-5). King Samuel attacks Amalek, and kills everyone but King Agag, for which he is scolded by God for not wiping them out utterly (I Sam 15:2ff).
On Purim, the villain is “Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite” (Esther 3:1), presumably a direct descendant of King Agag, and therefore an Amalekite. This line provides the rationale behind swinging our graggers in the air, shouting, booing, and stomping our feet (especially if you write the word “Haman” on the soles of your shoes) whenever we hear Haman’s name read from the Megillah. Since we are commanded to blot out the Amalekites’ name, and Haman is an Amalekite, we try not to let his name even be heard.
So it would seem that the evil antagonist of our Purim story is the heir to a long line of malicious nogoodniks that goes back to the wicked Amalekites who attacked the Israelites for no reason. That is, unless we look a little deeper. The Talmud asks the question, “What made the Amalekites attack the Israelites in the first place?” Its answer comes in the form of a Midrash:
Timna, a princess from Hor, yearned to join the tribe of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but they did not accept her. So she went to Esau and said, “I would rather be a servant to your people than a princess of another nation.” Esau heeded her request and gave her to his son, Eliphaz, as a concubine. Timna then bore Amalek, he who greatly afflicted Israel. And why did this come to pass? Because the patriarchs should not have rejected her for no reason. B. Sanhedrin 99b
Of course, we have no idea what the reason was that Amalek attacked. We do not know if there even was an inciting incident that made them hate Israel with such venom. But the Rabbis of the Talmud ask that we understand there is always something behind what we perceive as animosity. The Amalekites surely did not believe they were doing something evil. Perhaps they thought they were punishing a proud and vain people who rejected their ancestor for no reason. Those who disagree with us or even do things that we see as working against us must not be labeled as evil, or else we might be blind to the truth that lies behind their actions, and the pain they may have suffered that might cause them to act as they do, or believe as they do.
Purim is all about keeping our identities masked. Let us use the lesson of Timna to remember to always attempt to unmask the intentions of others before we judge them.
If you want to unmask details of our own Al Hanissim Purim celebration with TBS and TBT at CBT, look to page 11 for more information.

One of CBT’s most treasured traditions is upon us – Purimspiel!!! I made the decision (or was I coerced?) to become involved in CBT’s Purimspiel in 2012. The theme that year was “Broadway” and was Rabbi Einstein’s final official appearance before retiring from his illustrious spiel career. (He did, however, make a small cameo appearance the following year as one of the Beatles.) We presented him with gifts, including the now-famous Golden Plunger, I mean Scepter. I’ve never regretted a moment spent with other CBTers as we rehearse, laugh, sing, and over-act together. I took a year off last year, but I missed it so much that I’ve come back for a role in the chorus. It’s such great fun and gives each of us a chance to be a ham – the bigger, the better!
Purim spiels, (which comes from a Yiddish word meaning “play”) have been performed popularly throughout Ashkenazic Jewry since the mid-1500s. Public reenactments took the form of a poetic monologue or a story portrayed by several actors. They usually told the story of Esther, but other biblical stories and midrashim (our sages’ stories to add to the Torah) were also incorporated, along with satire directed at the rabbi, cantor, and community leaders. The Purim spiels were acted primarily by poor people, like students, musicians, dancers, acrobats, and artisans in large venues, like yeshivas, or in the homes of wealthy families, in exchange for money or food. The Jewish Enlightenment of the 18th and 19th centuries brought a new genre of parodies and satirization. The amateur folk quality of the Purim spiel, and its ability to be ever-topical and irreverent, has guaranteed its survival in synagogues and schools to this day.
Performing the Purim spiel in its current form began at CBT over 25 years ago. Before that, the actual Purim story was acted out by the kids in our youth group (I have a distinct memory of playing Queen Esther in 7th or 8th grade and experiencing a “wardrobe malfunction” that nearly kept me off the stage for good). Our spiels always have a theme, taken from pop culture, notable stage productions, or movies. The scripts have been written by our own Gerald Fleischmann, Eve Gumpel, Jay Seiden, Cantor Ecker, and Rabbi Young, or have been purchased from nationally known spiel writer, Norman Roth. Our rabbis and cantors over the years have always participated and lent us their talents, which is perfect since many have had singing and acting experience! Our current director, Jay Seiden, has been performing in CBT’s spiel since 1996, and began directing in 2011, when the theme was Grease. He works tirelessly, despite being a CPA during tax season, and we are so very grateful and fortunate to have him.
A sampling of themes over the past 23 years includes Disney, Surfin’ Songs, Broadway (twice), El Nino, Beatles (twice), Motown, Frank Sinatra, Rock ‘n Roll, Television, Opera, Oklahoma, Les Miz, Grease, Guys and Dolls, Spamalot, Queen, and West Side Story.
This year, Purim comes on Wednesday, February 28, and our spielers are preparing for a fun and entertaining evening. This year’s theme – the Megillah According to the Muppets – will include cheesy acting, familiar songs with Purim-themed lyrics, and lots of merry-making! Our service, megillah reading, and spiel will begin at 7:00 PM. Bring your grogger, come in costume, and be ready to make a l’chaim or two (responsibly, of course)!
Chag sameach, Shellie Halprin, President

Mark your calendar! SPECIAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING Sunday, March 18 at 10:00 AM in the Sanctuary Agenda: CBT Constitution Revisions
The Board of Directors invites you to a special session dedicated entirely to reviewing a spectrum of revisions to our Constitution, which defines the guidelines by which we operate as a synagogue. Your input is valuable and necessary. There will be motions to accept the revisions and we require a quorum to vote on any motions, so your attendance is vital. A letter will go out to all congregants approximately one month in advance of the meeting with a summary of the proposed changes. Anyone who wishes to receive a full copy of the Constitution with the proposed changes shown in color may do so in one of the following ways:
• Go to www.cbtfv.org/images/Constitution_Proposed_Revision.pdf and open the document. • Call Yesi in the office and she will email the link to you. • The link will appear in CBT’s weekly emails beginning in mid-February. • A limited number of paper copies will be available in the CBT office beginning in mid-February for those who do not have access to a computer or color printer. If you have any questions, please contact Shellie Halprin at [email protected].

Brotherhood's big event for February will be Sweetheart Night on February 17 at 7:00 PM in the CBT Social Hall. Don't be misled by the event's title. We would LOVE for everyone to come! The evening will feature live music from The Copy Cats, who play '50s rockabilly and rock and roll songs from artists like Johnny Cash, Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly, and a catered dinner of tri-tip, chicken, and sides by Newport Rib Company, and dessert by Polly's Pies. Dancing to the music is highly suggested! Admission is only $18 per person and must be paid to CBT Brotherhood by February 12. Such a deal! Thanks to Lari Davis and Maury Shulman for setting up the event. Please see the event flyer in the CBT lobby for additional information.
On February 9, Brotherhood members will take part in the Shabbat service under the direction of Rabbi Stephen J. Einstein and coordination by Al Davidson, our religious practices chairman. During the service, this year's CBT Brotherhood Man of the Year will be announced by Al, last year’s Man of the Year. The winner will be honored by the Southwest Area Men of Reform Judaism, a regional brotherhood group, on March 10 at a dinner at Temple Beth Tikvah in Fullerton along with winners from other synagogues. The dinner is open to all CBT members at $40 per person. RSVPs with menu choices (chicken, salmon, or vegetarian) and checks payable to MRJ-West are due by February 23 and must be sent to Mike Kibel directly or to CBT to Mike's attention. All Brotherhood members and congregants are urged to attend Brotherhood Shabbat on February 9 to find out who will be named this year's Man of the Year and to be on hand to congratulate the winner. Please also plan on attending the dinner event to help support CBT's Man of the Year!
Brotherhood enjoyed an afternoon of billiards and bowling at Fountain Bowl on January 21. On March 4, Brotherhood will be packing and mailing candles to the entire congregation in commemoration of Yom HaShoah. Later in March, Brotherhood will tour California Faucets’ manufacturing plant, owned by Brotherhood member and CBT Past-President Fred Silverstein. More information will be available as we get closer to the event. All CBTers are invited to attend.
As announced in January's Bulletin, Brotherhood member Martin Heimlich donated to CBT the funds to purchase a defibrillator or AED, in memory of his wife, Isabelle Ruth Heimlich, and his son, Paul Andrew Heimlich. The AED was installed in late January in the Social Hall. A number of synagogue leaders were trained on the use of the machine. Brotherhood committed to underwriting the maintenance and bi- annual training on the use of the machine. Thank you to Brotherhood's Martin Heimlich and Gary Miller for coordinating the effort to bring this valuable device to CBT.
Martin, our membership chairman, reports a total of 51 paid-up Brotherhood members, a new high in recent years. He adds that men joining or rejoining CBT are honorary members of Brotherhood during their first year and are encouraged to come to Brotherhood events and get to know the guys.
Speaking of members, we now have the youngest member ever. Aiden Cohen, age six, son of Brandi Cohen, asked to join and was granted an honorary membership. Welcome to the Brotherhood, Aiden!

Once again, we are joining forces with Temple Beth Sholom and Temple Beth Tikvah for a celebration of the miracles of our holiday cycle. On February 28, Erev Purim will begin at CBT at 7:00 PM. We will hold an abbreviated evening service, then enjoy time drinking and taking in the megillah reading/spiel combo. The current working title is “The Muppet Megillah,” and we leaned on a pre-written script acquired for us by Albert Davidson, wrote some new songs for it, and look forward to sharing it with “CBTBTBS” that evening. On Saturday, March 3, we will travel to TBS for an adults-only Purim party. We will begin the evening with an abbreviated Megillah reading and a couple of songs from the spiel, and then we will enjoy food, drink, and some sort of entertainment with the three communities. We will start the evening at 7:00 PM. More details to come.
