2 Message from Rabbi Gamer Israel’s National Anthem RABBI GAMER’S

Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day, ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES falls on April 19th. This year we mark 70 TUESDAYS, APRIL 10 & 24 years since the birth of the State of Israel in 7:00-8:00 P.M. 1948. As we celebrate this anniversary, I have been thinking about two words – hope EVERYONE IS WELCOME and dreams. These two words have played an important role in the centrality of the Jewish faith for 2000 years as we have hoped for and dreamed of the restoration of our ancient RABBI’S LUNCH & LEARN homeland. The centrality of these two words can be seen in the will resume on wording of the two poems/songs that were under consideration by the World Zionist Congress for the Israeli national anthem – Tuesday, May 1 Psalm 126 and Hatikvah. Noon to 1:30 p.m. Psalm 126 reads in English translation: “A song of ascents. When the LORD restores the fortunes of Zion - we will be like $12 per person dreamers - our mouths shall be filled with laughter, our tongues, RSVP to the office with songs of joy. Then shall they say among the nations, ‘The LORD has done great things for them!’ The LORD will do great things for us and we shall rejoice. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like watercourses in the Negev. They who sow in tears ISRAEL AT 70 – A SNAPSHOT shall reap with songs of joy. Though he goes along weeping, carrying the seed-bag, he shall come back with songs of joy, Israel is rapidly approaching the tipping point where the carrying his sheaves.” majority of the world’s Jews Hativkah reads in English translation: “So long as still within our will be living in the Jewish breasts, The Jewish heart beats true; So long as still towards the state. Last year the Central East; To Zion, looks the Jew; So long our hopes are not yet Bureau of Statistics lost. Two thousand years we cherished them. To live in freedom announced that Israel has in the land; Of Zion and Jerusalem.” Hatikva, has been attributed 8.68 million citizens, 10 to Naftali Herz Imber, written in 1878 and published in 1886. The times more Jews than at its poem was first published under the title of “Tikvatenu (Our founding. Hope)” in Imber's journal Barkai and had nine stanzas. The inspiration of the poem is said to have been the founding of the According to the report, the Jewish population represents 6.484 million residents city of Petach Tikvah (Gateway of Hope) in Israel. – 74.7% of the total population – and the Arab In 1901, one of the sessions of the Fifth Zionist Congress in population stands at 1.808 million people, 20.8% of Basel, Switzerland, ended with the singing of Hatikva (still the country’s inhabitants. The remaining 5.5%, called Tikvatenu). It wasn't until 1905 that the entire Hatikva was approximately 388,000 people, represent non-Arab sung by all the delegates present at the Seventh Zionist Christians and people of other religions, as well as Congress, making Hatikva the (unofficial) Zionist anthem. When those with no religious affiliation, the vast majority of Hatikva the State of Israel was established in 1948, was again them from the former Soviet Union. unofficially proclaimed the national anthem. Psalm 126 was also considered as a possible anthem, set to the music of Cantor The report cited that at the founding of the state in Yossele Rosenblatt. Interestingly, Hatikva did not officially 1948, there were 11.5 million Jews in the world, of become the national anthem until November 2004, when an whom 6% were living in Israel. In contrast, in 2015 abbreviated and edited version was sanctioned by the Knesset. there were 14.411 million Jews in the world, 43% of The official version of the anthem is only the first stanza of the whom were living in Israel.

The data also revealed that by 2048 Each of these beautiful pieces sum up the hopes and dreams of th the Jewish people – to be reestablished in our ancestral – Israel’s 100 birthday – the Jewish state’s homeland. As we celebrate 70 years of the modern State of population is expected to hit over 15 million people. Israel, I hope we will continue to hope and dream of a peaceful future in the land of Israel. 3 Message from the President... Gretchen Weiner

April is a month to celebrate! During National Library Week, April 8-14, be sure to visit your local library or give them a shout-out on FaceBook, Volunteer Shabbat Twitter, SnapChat or your favorite Saturday, April 21 social media platform! The following week, April 15- followed by kiddush & light lunch 22, is National Volunteer Week, and we will honor our Let us know you are coming! Beth Shalom volunteers at our Shabbat service on RSVP March 21. by Wednesday, April 18 [email protected] Volunteers are special people! When I think of 248-547-7970 volunteers at Beth Shalom, myriad scenarios come to mind: someone answering the phones at CBS on a day all staff are off; a group of people planning programs such as ChanuCon or Women’s Seder; welcoming guests at an event; individuals leading weekday minyan and Shabbat services and those attending those services to ensure there is a minyan for anyone saying kaddish. There are so many more SAVE THE DATE!!! ways that volunteers contribute to our Beth Shalom community. Whether you see them or not, they are RABBI DAVID & ALICIA involved with every aspect of synagogue life. Since taking on the presidency, I have been privileged to NELSON LEGACY EVENT look behind the scenes of many activities and to know the people involved, who generously give their time, expertise and often additional financial support.

I believe volunteering is part of the Jewish psyche, of giving back and paying it forward when we can. Our shul cannot exist without the individual commitments that so many of you manage to give us in the midst of your own busy, often frenetic lives. Please join us on Shabbat, April 21, to celebrate each other and the many ways we work to make a “whole that is greater Wednesday, June 6 Thursday, June 7 than the sum of its parts”. 7:30 p.m. 12:30 p.m.
