March 2016 Adar I/Adar II 5776 Vol. 42 No. 6 Rethinking the “Other” Imagining This March brings us the Hebrew month of Adar II, which brings us Purim, which brings Shabbat us . The Book of Esther identifies our fa- vorite villain as “Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite.” That is bibli- cal code: It means that Rabbi David Stern Haman is descended from a king named Agag, who himself was descended from the tribe of . In the Hebrew Bible, the Amalekites are the paradigmatic enemy of the Jewish people, condemned in the for all time for their sneak attack on the weary stragglers in the rear of the Israelite camp. The play- ful Purim custom of drowning out Haman’s name during the reading of the Megillah– with our gragers, by stomping our feet or with lusty boos–is actually a fulfillment of the Torah’s twice-issued command to “blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” Amalek is our tradition’s paradigm of the hateful and destructive other. In Jew- ish culture, we have invoked the name to describe those who have sought to destroy us throughout our history, to inspire vigi- lance in defeating the enemy, and to recall the Torah’s promise that God will always be at war with Amalek throughout the ages.

Sips, bites and sweets: The Oneg

Oneg means “delight” in Hebrew, and it has come to mean a dessert reception after Friday night worship. Over the years, many congregants have decided to extend their Shabbat worship by dining together after the service, and have chosen not to participate in the post-service re- paste. Temple has offered for the past year or so a chance to gather and socialize before the service, at the early Oneg. Look for the before-and- after oneg celebrations o migrate permanently to the Tycher Gathering Space. The early oneg has been updated with fresh fruits and vegetables, crackers, cheese and spreads, cold drinks and wine from 5:45-6:15pm, and the later oneg features delicious baked goods prepared by a loving, devoted group of WRJ volunteers.
