Be Happy! It’S a Mitvah ◾◾ Yolanda Beckett Speaks at TBI Shalom Friends, I’D Like to Start out by Telling You a Story That Appears in the Talmud (Ta’Anit 22A) JANUARY 2018 | TEVET / SHEVAT 5778 VOLUME 84 NO. 5 RABBI’S NOTES INSIDE: by Rabbi Michael Mishkin ◾ Deadline for Mishloach Manot Basket Orders, February 16 Be Happy! It’s a Mitvah ◾ Yolanda Beckett Speaks at TBI Shalom Friends, I’d like to start out by telling you a story that appears in the Talmud (Ta’anit 22a). This issue of the TBI Tablet Rabbi Broka who was a holy man, who often received is sponsored by visits from none other than Elijah the prophet. One time when Rabbi Broka was walking through the bustling BETSY & HOWARD market place of his city, Elijah accompanied him. Seeing GOLAN all of the bustle and hustle of the city market place, being in honor of the Bar Mitzvah impressed with its intense activity with the large crowd of people, Rabbi Broka of their son turned to Elijah and asked him if any of the people within the market were destined to enter heaven. ARI Elijah, to whom the secrets of heaven are revealed, scanned the large market place with his eyes and then shook his head and told him that no one in the market was destined for heaven. Rabbi continued on page 2 SAVE THE DATE FRIDAY, APRIL 20 FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE & SHABBAT DINNER IN HONOR OF ALICE TALMUD’S RETIREMENT ah Rea Rabbi Mishkin moderated a book club in anticipation of our January Scholar in Residence, Purim Megill ding 28 at 6:30pm Naomi Levy. The group discussed the meaning of many of Rabbi Levy’s passages on February exploring the soul and shared their reactions to the fascinating story of Rabbi Levy’s journey to find out why Einstein wrote a letter to a well-known Rabbinic leader post World War 11. COME IN COSTUME! Visit us online at www.tbiport.org Contact us at 516-767-1708 Rabbi continued from page 1 As they continued on, Elijah suddenly spotted two men and pointed them out to Rabbi Broka. “These two men are destined for heaven,” he told Rabbi Broka. Excitedly, Rabbi Broka ran towards them. He wanted to learn from them what it Temple Drive, Port Washington NY 11050-3915 T: 516-767-1708 F: 516-944-6461 was that they did, or what merit they possessed that earned them the good fortune www.tbiport.org to be destined to enter heaven. Stopping them in the middle of the market place, he pointedly asked them what they do. They replied, “we are jesters.” Rabbi Broka was confused, wondering why would Rabbi Michael Mishkin jesters, of all people, be destined to go to heaven? But when they explained to Rabbi Hazzan Broka how they filled their days, it became clear. They said, “Whenever we see Baruch Blum someone who is sad or depressed, we approach that person and try to make him President laugh, in order to lift his spirits. And whenever we see two people who are angry Matthew Engel with each other, we go to them and joke around, trying to lighten the mood so that Executive Vice President Rita Shumsky they will reconcile.” Vice President, Ritual Laughter has great potential to move people in very powerful ways. As these David Volpe jesters point out, sometimes a good laugh can take us from sadness or anger to joy. Vice President, Fundraising mid- Stacey Delich-Gould Unbeknownst to many, joy is an important part of Judaism.

Treasurer We live in a breathtakingly beautiful world, but it is also an imperfect world, John Teeger and can be very painful. We should acknowledge the injustice, pain, and suffering Financial Secretary Steve Castar in our world and do what we can to make the world a better place, but we must be Corresponding Secretary careful to not let the brokenness of the world break our spirits. As the jesters teach Andrew Silver us in this story, humor can play an important role in helping to provide us with a Recording Secretary larger perspective, in raising our spirits, and in bringing us back to happiness. David Cooper Leaving brokenness, and looking at the other side of the coin, we find joy, Trustees Julie Greenblatt Mitch Rosen wholeness, and beauty. While love, the wonders of nature, music, dance, and the Halona Gropper Jaffe Lon Seidman close companionship of friends are all there to keep us on the path of joy, for some Beverly Hazelkorn Jeff Siegel Meridith Krell Andrew Sollinger people, the source of joy goes even deeper.

What better source of joy, than knowing each one of us was created for a Lane Palmer reason and each one of us is loved by our Creator? Trustees Emeritus Elkan Abramowitz Friday, February 16 is Rosh Chodesh Adar (the new Hebrew month of Adar). Joel Greenblatt There is a traditional saying about Adar: “Mi shehnichnas Adar, marbim b’simchach,” Saul Muchnick which means, “When Adar begins, our joy is increased.” Why is our joy increased Sisterhood Co-President th Alisa Schindler when Adar begins? Because Adar contains the holiday of Purim (the 14 of Adar, Sisterhood Co-President which is Wednesday night—Feb. 28—and Thursday morning—March 1.) Why is Michelle Mondschein there so much joy and celebration on Purim? The first reason is that Haman failed Men’s Club President in trying to destroy us.

  • ALLAN HARRIS TRIO CELEBRATES 100 YEARS of NAT KING COLE Internationally Renowned Vocalist, Guitarist, and Composer Returns to the Lone Tree Arts Center
    10075 Commons St. Lone Tree CO 80124 www.lonetreeartscenter.org Contact: Leigh Chandler, Marketing Director FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Phone: 720-509-1007 October 9, 2019 Fax: 720-509-1101 Email: [email protected] ALLAN HARRIS TRIO CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF NAT KING COLE Internationally Renowned Vocalist, Guitarist, and Composer Returns to the Lone Tree Arts Center LONE TREE, CO – Allan Harris returns to the Arts Center to honor the 100th birthday of Nat King Cole. Over the past 20 years, Harris has steadily developed his reputation as one of the finest vocalists of his era. Brooklyn-born and Harlem-based, he has forged his sterling credentials through his ten previous albums, covering a broad range of contexts, all netted together within the rich territory of the jazz tradition. With this performance, Harris honors the legacy of Nat King Cole, singing favorites and lesser- known gems that will make for an “Unforgettable” evening. Allan Harris Trio: 100 Years of Nat King Cole plays the Lone Tree Arts Center on Friday, November 1, 2019 at 8pm. Ever since he burst on the jazz scene in the latter part of the twentieth century, vocalist/guitarist/ bandleader/composer Allan Harris has reigned supreme as one of the most accomplished and exceptional singers of his generation. Aptly described by the Miami Herald as an artist blessed with “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat ‘King' Cole,” the ample and aural evidence of Harris’ moving and magisterial artistry can be heard on his fourteen recordings as a leader, as well as his far-flung and critically-acclaimed concerts around the world, from Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, and Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center, to the 2012 London Olympics.
