See PAGE 6 for MORE events More Information or RSVP: [email protected] with Women of TBA 1 FROM THE RABBI The Resilient Rabbi My first job as a rabbi was miserable, and I was completely unprepared. In rabbinical school, I had student congregations, one in Great Falls, Montana, and one in South Atlanta, Georgia, and my experiences there were smashing successes. I worked with children and adults at key points in their lives, enjoyed giving sermons, taught all kinds of classes, added innovative programs, and made many great friends. I felt like I was ready to be a “real rabbi” the moment I was ordained. Plus, I had already worked in business for a cou- ple of years, so I was anticipating a great connection at my first full time pulpit, a young and exciting congregation in Westchester County, New York. And then I started the actual job. It was a disaster from the beginning, mostly because it was a mismatch. I would venture to say that about 90-95% of the congregation loved what I was doing—religiously, educationally, during life cycle events, and especially with their children. But the 5-10% who didn’t were among the leaders of the congregation. They did things that made it seem more like a church than a synagogue to me, and I had trouble stomaching them. Many in synagogue leadership were unsupportive and even downright mean. One member even called me a Nazi. Here is what one member of the board of directors wrote to the president of the congregation. We look to a rabbi for “wisdom, fairness, and a vision.” Unfortunately, I have not found that spiritual depth in Rabbi Bloom. There is no question that he has firm ideas as to worship and traditions, but, in my opinion, he is woefully lacking in compassion, understanding, and generosity of spirit. They brought in a special commission to figure out what went wrong and how to “fix” both the situation and me. They concluded that I should probably leave. I had asked to do that very thing, but they wouldn’t let me resign. They felt they would lose too many members, and they had already driven out the last rabbi under similar circumstances. How could I have been so successful in my student pulpits and such a failure in my first “real job?” Was the man being described in that letter really me? What was wrong with this congregation? Well, for one thing, me. I was what was wrong, or at least part of what was wrong. Essentially, I was young and stupid. I made the rookie mistake of making too many changes too quickly. I didn’t value the many unique customs this community had created. I was not “Reform” enough for this Reform congregation. Though I didn’t say it out loud, it was clear that this California boy didn’t want to be in New York, and particularly there, and people picked up on that. I cried myself to sleep nearly every night for about 6 months. That was 20 years ago. I have been at Temple Beth Abraham for the last 16 ½ years and loved nearly every moment of it. It’s a shidduch (Hebrew word for match). I am fulfilled in my career. But those first two years were terribly painful. That pain certainly doesn’t compare with a serious illness or abuse or addiction or tragic death, but they were very dark days for me. I nearly quit and went back to the business world. But, deep down, I knew I had to be resilient. I knew I had to learn from my mistakes. That I could find a better match and do better. I took my primary inspiration from Moses in the Torah. If he could get through the wilderness for 40 years with his “congregation” complain- cont on page 19 Rabbi Bloom invites you to join him and a TBA Delegation at the AIPAC Conference in Washington DC March 4-6.

Scholarships are also available by contacting the rabbi. 2 FROM THE PRESIDENT Building our Resilience Muscle By Laura Wildman December seems like the perfect time of year to write about resilience. Right around now, we read the story of Joseph. While the Torah contains many stories teaching us about resilience, the story of Joseph seems a particularly powerful story of resilience – from being sold into slavery by his brothers to becoming the right-hand man to the Pharaoh to finally reuniting with his family and saving them from famine. We’ve all marveled at the Holocaust survivors in our TBA community, our families, and the greater Jewish community who survived unbelievably traumatizing experiences and still went on to live happy and productive lives.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

    CLASSIC PALESTINIAN CUISINE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Christiane Dabdoub Nasser | 208 pages | 24 Jul 2013 | SAQI BOOKS | 9780863568442 | English | London, United Kingdom Classic Palestinian Cuisine PDF Book Sayadiah , a golden fish and rice dish, with fragrant spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and coriander. A journalist traveling in Palestine and living in the West Bank looks at the plight of the Palestinian people and the comments on the current state of Jewish-Arab relations in the region. It consists of a roasted chicken over taboon bread that has been topped with pieces of fried sweet onions, sumac, allspice and pine nuts. Battir is the antithesis of industrial farming, because its crops evolved according to real conditions: topography, microclimate, water, and most importantly for Sansour, people. Kassis is working on her second book, about modern Arabic cooking, and found examining the past — how recipes evolved in Palestine and the surrounding regions — crucial to giving shape to the notion of a people and its food. Masgoof is made with fire grilled "shabbout" fish unique to the Tigris River, served with lemon slices. Before we know it, a tray laden with fresh-looking starters arrives, carrying more than what we ordered, testament to Palestinian generosity and hospitality. Ramadan is the only period during which the restaurant is primarily visited by Egyptians, who come in large numbers to break-fast there with Palestinian food. A dish native to the Gaza area is sumaghiyyeh , consisting of water-soaked ground sumac mixed with tahina. I know now not to let anyone interpret for me what it means to be Palestinian.
