“Hassidic Courts”
Monday, May 7 • 7:00 p.m. at the JCC • Free and Open to the Community
Jenny and Oz Naor will host a free program
featuring Israeli photojournalist Gil Cohen-Magen.
Cohen-Magen spent a decade compiling his book
Hassidic Courts which contains exclusive images
of the Hassidic communities in Israel. He gained
unprecedented access to communities that rarely
open their doors to outsiders. The book shows exciting and surprising moments in the lives of Israel’s
ultra-Orthodox Jews.
The program looks at the ultra-Orthodox communities such as the Satmar Hassidic sect. Mr. Cohen-
Magen presents a rare glimpse at these closed
communities and their beliefs and rituals. His book
is a “no holds barred” look through the lens at rare
ceremonies and gatherings which have never been
photographed by outsiders before.
Mr. Cohen-Magen is a graduate of the Hadassah
College of Jerusalem’s Photography program and
spent ten years working with the Reuters news
agency. Cohen-Magen has exhibited his photographs in Europe and in Israel.
Books are available for purchase after the lecture.
“Free Men” • Wednesday, May 2 • 7:30 p.m. at the Canton Palace Theatre
Join us for the final film of the third annual Jewish
Film Festival sponsored by Premier Bank & Trust.
Tickets are $5 and may be purchased at the Palace
Theatre 30 minutes prior to the film.
“Free Men”, based on a true story, takes place in
German-occupied Paris, where a young unemployed
Algerian named Younes earns his living as a black
marketeer. Arrested by the French police but given
a chance to avoid jail, Younes agrees to spy on
the Paris Mosque. The police suspect the Mosque
authorities of aiding Muslim Resistance agents and
helping North African Jews by giving them false certificates. At the Mosque, Younes meets the Algerian
singer Salim Halali, and is moved by Salim’s beautiful voice and strong personality. When Younes
discovers that Salim is Jewish, he stops collaborating
with the police and gradually is transformed into a
full-fledged freedom fighter. (French with subtitles)
The Canton Jewish Community Federation presents the
final two broadcasts from Live from New York’s 92nd Street
YTM 2012 Winter/Spring series with programs May 3 and
June 5 at the JCC.

The Ben and Ruth Eppy Scholarship fund was
endowed by Ben and Ruth Eppy as a commitment to
the Canton Jewish Community. Regardless of where
their lives took them, the Eppys wanted to be assured
that Jewish youth in Canton had the opportunity to
attend Jewish Camps, and
to travel to Israel.
Ruth’s commitment to
the Canton Jewish Community took many forms.
Ruth Eppy served as Shaaray Torah Synagogues’
Sisterhood President, and
was a lifelong member
of Hadassah. Eventually,
Ruth and Ben fulfilled a
lifelong dream of moving to
Florida, and Ruth became
Ruth Eppy
active in Israel Bonds and
the Broward County Jewish Federation. Ruth was
“Bubbie” and “Great Bubbie” to her grand and greatchildren and it was clear to everyone that her passion
was her family.
Ruth passed away this past February. Her legacy
lives on through her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Ruth and Ben’s legacy lives on
as well through the Ben and Ruth Eppy Scholarship
fund, which is now maintained by her children.
Through the Eppy’s generosity and foresight, many
of our Canton youth have taken advantage of the
Eppy Scholarship fund to attend Jewish summer
camps, BBYO events and to go to Israel. “May Ruth’s
memory be for blessing as her life’s work continues
through the Eppy Scholarship Fund,” Ed Buxbaum,
Federation Executive Director, said.

we set off on the journey not knowing
where it will lead.
Counting the Omer:
Not Exactly Like Breadcrumbs
Each day on this new journey we stop
to Count the Omer. This ritual recalls
the practice of bringing a measure of
grain to the Temple of old each day
marking off the forty-nine days between
the leaving of Egypt and the arrival at
Mount Sinai. The Omer is kind of like
breadcrumbs dropped along the way
measuring where we are and hinting at
how far we yet have to go.
For Jews, no strangers to this
trek, counting the Omer is a way of

anticipating arrival at the destination,
meaning where we are destined to be.
For us the departure was servitude and
our destiny is Sinai and along the way
we count the Omer.
From Ritual to
Spirituality
The older I become (counting the
years) the more I appreciate the difference
between the journey and the destination.
Sitting at our Seder table and retelling
the story of Redemption I appreciate how
the rituals and practices of Jewish life are
more than religious obligations, but paths
to spiritual Truth. Rehearsing the biblical
story and teasing out its contemporary
applications direct me with ever growing

Partnership – Personally Fulfilling and Life Changing
Rabbi John Spitzer • Associate Professor of Jewish Studies, Walsh University, Director of the Jewish/Catholic Studies Institute
There is a difference between
setting out and
arriving. Pesach,
which commenced with Seder on
the 14th of Nisan was a joyous and
meaningful holiday. Gathered at tables
with family and friends, Jews celebrated
God’s liberation of our people from
enslavement to Pharaoh. We marched
forth from the fleshpots of Egypt on our
way to…well, it was unspecified.
God does that…God calls to Abram
and tells him to leave the land of his birth
and go without specifying a destination.
Later, even after Abraham has gotten to
know God better, the command comes
to take his son to a place “that I will

certainty to the Revelation at Sinai. The
destination is nearer.
The older we become (counting our
seasons and years) the clearer the glimpse
we have of our destination. Reflecting on
the repetitious experiences of the Jewish
calendar, its rituals and laws in the light of
our growing children and grandchildren
and the experiences of joy and sorrow in
our lives, we may well become aware of
the fact that ours is a sacred pilgrimage
which leads to standing in the presence
of the Holy. Some may find the journey
arduous, boring, or frustrating. Our
longed for wholeness may seem distant.
But hang in there! Shavuot and Sinai are
not far from here. We will get there one
sheave of the Omer at a time.
Farewell Thoughts from John Strauss, Partnership2Gether Chair since 2007
My interaction with
Partnership2Gether
John Strauss
has led to some of
Canton Chair,
the strongest friendPartnership
ships in my life.
with Israel
Through Partnership2Gether I have been introduced to
professional leaders from the U.S. and
Israel that have demonstrated the power of building connections between our
community and Israel. Through Partnership I have met amazing volunteers from
Israel and the U.S. that have taught me
that you always get more by giving back.
Through Partnership I have witnessed
the emotional and professional commitment that teachers have to their field.
Through Partnership I have met amazing
dancers, musicians and artists that have
a singular focus on their creative goals
and who are always willing to share of
themselves. Through Partnership I have
met esteemed physicians and nurses that
have taught me about the hard work of
preparedness and innovation, as well as
the determination to be the best in their
field. And perhaps most impressively,
through Partnership I have met incredible young Israeli people that are determined to make the world a better place.
Each of these areas and more have given great meaning to my life and I hope in
some way, yours. I wrote my first Stark
Jewish News column as Partnership
Chair in March of 2007. After serving as
Partnership 2000/Partnership with Isra-
el/ Partnership2Gether Chair in Canton
for about the last five years, it is time for
me to move on and for someone new to
take control and help bring the offerings
of the Western Galilee to Stark County.
The list of my experiences above are
not platitudinous. Partnership has been
personally fulfilling and life changing in
specific ways. I doubt that I would have
formed such great friendships with Israelis without the Partnership. My daughter
Jesse, who plans on spending the next
academic year in Israel through Young
Judea will have plenty of “Mothers “and
“Fathers” close by because of our friendships. I have valued dialogue with Martha
Lottman, Rita Schaner and Adele Gelb
among other experienced voices in our
local Partnership. It has been a pleasure
working with Bonnie Manello and Karen
Phillippi as well as Ed Buxbaum to make
the Partnership successful locally.
I hope that if you have not yet
stepped forward to be a part of
our Partnership you will this year.
And last but not least, I have
appreciated hearing from many of
you who actually read these columns
and appreciate them. That is more
meaningful than you can imagine.

Lee Korzits Wins Gold Medal at Sailing World Cup
israeli windsurfer,
Gal Fridman is the
first and only

gold medal at the

games in Athens.
Israeli windsurfer secures spot in 2012 Olympic Games after winning first place in
Cadiz. Last day of sailing canceled due to weather conditions.
Israeli windsurfer Lee Korzits won the women’s RS:X
title at the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Cadiz, Spain on
Wednesday after weather conditions prevented organizers
from holding the medal race.
This marks the third time Korzits wins the world
championship, the first being in Cadiz in 2003, and the
second in Perth, Australia last December. The Israeli
windsurfer, who recently celebrated her 28th birthday,
has known a turbulent career during which she had left
the sport, been injured and underwent a surgery that left
Korzits with her medal in Spain
her inactive for almost two months. However, she made a
swift recovery evident in last week’s race. Korzits achieved an almost perfect record
in the Cadiz World Cup, winning four sails and being in the lead throughout the
competition. The gold medal now secures her a spot at the London Olympic Games.
This will be her second appearance at the Olympics, after competing in Athens in
2004. Her recent win in Spain will award her with a NIS 100,000 grant. Her coach,
Ben Finkelstein will receive half of the amount.

experience in a broad
range of not-for-profit management, policy development, public service and philanthropy,”
said Marcie Natan, National President of
Hadassah. “She comes to Hadassah with talent
and substantial background in advocating for
women’s, children’s and health causes that are
important to us. I speak on behalf of Hadassah’s
more than 330,000 members when I say how

Women’s Work is God’s Work
Hadassah Centennial Women’s Seder
The Canton Chapter of Hadassah came together on
March 22 to celebrate Hadassah’s centennial anniversary
at a Women’s Seder. The evening was dedicated to the
members and supporters of Hadassah whose efforts
continue to provide medical aid, education and land
restoration in Israel.
The 2012 Haggadah committee adapted the seder
text to reflect Hadassah’s centennial and the role
Hadassah played in the founding of the State of Israel
by establishing a comprehensive health care plan that
was the framework for today’s social health care system.
It was also a celebration of women’s strength and
courage, from Miriam to Hadassah founder Henrietta
Szold, whose modest vision has resulted in the
largest Jewish, largest volunteer and largest women’s
membership organization in the U.S.
Throughout the evening, Hadassah members of all
ages were honored. Luise Weintraub spoke of joining
Hadassah as a young bride. Elana Weiner, our youngest
member and a lifetime member, said she was drawn
to the Hadassah because of its legacy of tzedakah. All
aspects of women’s contributions were illustrated by
contact us
various portions of the seder and by the many women
who took part in the presentation.
Several generations of Hadassah members were
present and shared their deep connection to Hadassah.
Estelle Blau joined shortly after college in the 1950’s,
but said Hadassah “was always a part of our home,
growing up.” Her daughter Shelley Schweitzer agreed,
adding that when her son was born twelve weeks early,
one of the attending physicians was from the Hadassah
Hospital. In honor of this connection, Shelly devoted that
year’s donor program in Cincinnati to the Newborn and
Preemies Heart Surgery care.
Today, there is increasing awareness that women
have not yet achieved equal status in society. Women
are often objectified and marginalized, even in areas
of their own health. Hadassah continues to work to
eliminate these barriers. The seder evening was a
reminder of the power women have in healing the
world. As Henrietta Szold said, “We are an organization
of women who believe in the ‘healing of the daughter
of the people,’ in healing the soul of the Jewish people
as much as it’s body.”

Gan Bracha Dedication
Sunday May 6th will be our final religious school session for the year. That
day will be for both parents and students and we have a full agenda planned.
This will be the day to dedicate our new garden, Gan Bracha. Students who
planted seeds and now have seedlings, are asked to bring their seedlings back to
us. We will ‘hardy’ them and plant them when the garden is ready. We will also
reveal the winner of our logo contest.
We will have a family program about food equity which is the right to have
access to fresh, healthy food nearby at a fair price and how that is a Jewish
concept. Younger students and families will explore healthy eating and why
that is important. Older children will look at how obesity, poverty and hunger
are related and why in one of the richest countries in the world, so many people
can be hungry. We will all learn about how a community garden with produce
donated to hunger centers can address some of these issues.
Successful schools (religious or not) cannot buy their most precious item from
a company or order a kit to assemble. That is because the most precious asset any
school has is its teachers. We are truly lucky in Canton to have such wonderful
dedicated teachers who work so hard with our students. We will pay tribute to
the most important teaching resource Chadash has – its faculty.
We will conclude with the end of year picnic which is sponsored and prepared
by Temple Israel’s Brotherhood and Shaaray Torah’s Men’s Club.

Passover at Windsor
Making a Good First Impression Work for You!
Residents at Windsor Medical Center enjoyed Passover with members of the community.
We all have experienced it – the
Gail Arenstein first day on a new job, moving to
a new neighborhood or city, or
JFS Director
joining a new organization where
everyone is a stranger. Getting a new relationship
started often results in butterflies in the stomach
but making that first good impression is important.
Reflecting on past relationships, it is valuable to
remember where rough spots existed before, due to our
own doing, or someone else’s. Use experience as your
guide so old mistakes are not repeated, and consider
these points:
1. Watch and learn.
Above left: A special thank you to the Planning Committee: Sally Henning, Kandy Swegadimer, Sue Shafer, Laura Karch and Adey Hostetler.
Above right: Rabbi Adland leading the Seder meal.
As the new person in the group, or on the job, you may
be tempted to jump right in and prove yourself. Jessica
Coleman, a learning and development consultant at
Employers Resource Association warns that, “if you
don’t understand the dynamics of the new venue or have
enough context, you’ll be like a bull in the proverbial
china shop.” The time you spend asking questions and
listening can save you from embarrassment, but it also
allows you to know what success looks like when you
proceed in the proper direction.
2. Arrive early for a while.
When attending the first gathering of the organization,
or on your first day of work, get there about 10 minutes
before the scheduled start time. Once you are familiar
with the arrival patterns of everyone, try to be one of
the first on the scene for a while. This demonstrates
that you are eager to learn your new role, and willing
to assume responsibilities for future tasks. Diane
Gottesman, an etiquette expert, reinforces the concept
of “not being a clock watcher.” It will be noticed
immediately by your friends or peers, while also
demonstrating that you are a “team worker”.
3. Nail the Logistics.
If you are acclimated to your new position, your
first several days should be used to set up your work
environment: voice mail, email account, supplies,
organizing previous files if assuming someone else’s
position. If you have joined a new club, understand
the protocols and be sure you are included in the
communication chain, via email or snail mailings.
Sports leagues are especially good about announcing
changes to line-ups or scheduling new social events.
Introduce yourself initially and try to associate the
new names to something you can remember so at
the next face-to-face contact, you can address the
person by name. Don’t be embarrassed if you need to
reintroduce yourself, but use a positive reference to
allow that person to remember you, like “I’m the one
who is……”. Whenever there is an opportunity, extend
your hand and introduce yourself. Develop a resource
chain for future needs; it could be a contact person, a
substitute, or procuring some type of supplies.
4. Don’t try to change everything.
If your new job is a management role, make sure
you spend time with your team to feel out the dynamic
and different personalities before proposing any major
shifts in the paradigm. This is included in social
settings as well. You will discover who are best friends
with whom, or what rocky relationships might pull you
into disarray if you are caught in the middle. According
to Coleman, too many changes without having enough
understanding of the situation can lead to resistance.
It can also cause significant or irreparable damage to
trust and morale.
5. Dress the part.
All of us want to be included, and dressing out of
the normal immediately instills a poor first impression.
If it is a new job, ask what the dress code is when
you accept the job offer. Logic and common sense

FIRST IMPRESSION Cont’d from Page 13
usually play an important role when
attending a social gathering or club
meeting, but it is never wrong to inquire
about how you should dress. It is very
uncomfortable to arrive at a function
and immediately realize, “I am wearing
the wrong thing.”
6. Check in.
After you have been on the job for a
month or two, set up a time with your
supervisor for a constructive feedback
session on your progress. Establish
goals with realistic timelines for future
endeavors. Ask questions of coworkers
and you will quickly understand the
positive and negative impacts of changes
you have implemented.
It is human nature to want to be
included and feel welcomed. Use
these few pointers to allow yourself a
successful relationship on the new job,
or as a member of a new community or
organization.

Western Galilee Hospital Hosts
Community Health Fair
In its continuing efforts to reach out to the community,
the Friends of Western Galilee Hospital hosted the first
ever Community Health Fair at Nahariya’s Mall. For
three days doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and
other hospital staff offered free testing health tests and
screening as well as informational lectures in a variety
of areas of healthcare.
Tests for blood sugar levels and blood pressure
along with glaucoma screenings and preliminary
genetic counseling were offered to the community
free of charge. WGH Child Development Center staff
provided enriching activities for children in attendance
with information for parents regarding healthy habits
and development. Lectures were held for the public by
physicians and healthcare professionals on topics of
community health concern such as Diabetes, Genetic
Counseling and even guidance in parenting by Israel’s
“Super Nanny” Michal Daliot.
These tests and screenings provided for community
awareness proved a great success having found a
handful of residents in need of follow-up care in the
hospital’s Ophthalmology Department and Diabetes
Unit. While some residents were knowledgeable of
their conditions, many who required follow-up care
were either unaware of the danger of their condition
before screening or unsure of the extent to which their
condition needed to be monitored. Several health fair
attendees were also found to be within risk groups
for diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, but with proper
intervention and regular monitoring will be in better
control of their healthcare.
Western Galilee Hospital’s Director General, Dr.
Masad Barhoum explains “It is important for the
community to see the hospital as accessible and not just
in times of emergency but as a center for the wellbeing
of the more than 600,000 residents of the Western
Galilee region.”
Partners in the health fair included both the Israeli
and American Friends of Western Galilee Hospital,
community supporters and the Western Galilee
Hospital-Nahariya.
