President’s
Message
Rabbi’s Message
As I write this piece, it is the day after Yom Kippur, and I
am acutely aware, more than usual, of the degree to which
I am blessed in the variety and deliciousness of the food
that I eat. And at the season of the year when you will be
reading this, our food is arguably at its most delicious, the
sweetness of Rosh Hashanah and the bounty of Sukkot just behind us, but we
can almost smell those latkes coming.
Of course, the idea that Judaism and food are closely related is legion. We
bless what we eat before we consume it, in ways specifically suited to what
we are consuming. One of the most pleasant mitzvot to observe is the
blessing after the meal, based on the commandment in Deuteronomy that we
should eat, be satisfied, and bless. Food is the way that we express affection,
relationship, and community (who shows up at a shivah empty-handed?).
But this year, I am hoping that as a Synagogue, we can also become more
involved with the idea of our choice of food being a mitzvah in itself.
I’m not talking about eating plans as such (though arguably the concept of
mitzvah can apply there, too). Rather, from the time that I was at rabbinical
school, I have engaged with the issue of fair trade. I won the Whizin Prize
for Ethics for my essay on whether it is a halachic obligation to buy fair
trade products. I have been waiting for the opportunity for us to have this
conversation within the Synagogue, and I believe the time is now.
Put very simply, fair trade is the idea that we should choose to consume in
a way that does not create—or exacerbate—poverty. Certain items that we
regularly consume—coffee, chocolate, bananas, to name just a few—come
from places in the world that are extremely poor. If we pay a fair price for
goods from those places, we can help farmers and workers there to live at a
decent level and not be exploited.
The Rabbinical Assembly has passed a resolution to the effect that synagogues
should make an effort to support the enterprise of fair trade (you can find it
by Googling Rabbinical Assembly Fair Trade). They identify three underlying
Jewish values—not being oppressive, not being unjust, and supporting selfsufficiency.
Here at the Synagogue, when I began discussing fair trade with our
Sisterhood and our staff, I was delighted to find that we have already been
taking steps to ensure that our coffee is fair trade. (We are also blessed in
the generous donation of immaculately fair-trade coffee for the coffee cart
from congregant Jeff Chean.) For the past couple of years, our B’nai Mitzvah
have been receiving kippot from a collective, Guatemalan Hands, that works
with Fair Trade Judaica. But it looks as though we can do more in terms of
fair trade, and this year we will be exploring what that might look like.
I should say that fair trade isn’t a perfect system (and I’m not sure such a
system exists). Labeling can be complicated, and there will always be people
who want to make more money than is strictly due to them. But it is a start,
and it does make a difference.
Of course, we remain free to make whatever choices we want at the
supermarket. But I shall be proud, this year, to know that as a community, we
are taking steps to support the dignity of those who provide what we consume.

Our Board Would
Appreciate Your Help
At the Board Retreat in August and through
a follow-up at our September Board meeting
(postponed until October 6 in honor of the
unfortunate passing of Ron Labowe), it was decided
that for the remainder of the Synagogue year
(ending June 30, 2015), the Board would form
work/action clusters around the following issues:
•
•
•
•
•
Welcoming new members
Expansion of Shabbat at Home
Expansion of our Havurah program
Addressing the needs of Empty Nesters
Addressing the needs of families whose youngest
(or only) child has had his or her Bar or Bat
Mitzvah
Please join one or more of these work/action
clusters. Your help will be much appreciated. Please
reach me at the following email address so I can put
you in touch with the captain of the work/action
cluster you are interested in joining:
[email protected].
We are hoping the teams will have a productive
year and that their reaching out will strengthen our
community.
A Tree of Life
Many of you have noticed that the symbol of a tree
can be found around our Synagogue campus. Within
our captivating central courtyard, one can see the
beautiful and colorful wall graphic of a tree, created
and installed in honor and in appreciation of Rabbi
Bernhard’s 18th year of service at Adat Ari El. Many
of the flyers we send out depict an iconic tree, and
our stationery will include a customized watermark.
“It is a tree of life to all who grasp it, and whoever holds
on to it is happy; its ways are ways of pleasantness, and
all it paths are peace.” (Proverbs 3:17-18)
Traditional Judaism identifies Talmud Torah (the
study of Torah) as the Tree of Life, promising
wisdom and perpetuity to those who “lay hold
of her.” Without question, study of Torah is an
important commandment as well as an honor.
However, even the simple act of holding the Torah
is thought to confer great power on those who take
hold of it. The Torah reader (the Bal Koreh) is
not only honored as a reader, but traditionally the
President’s Message, continued on page 3
2
Adat Ari El Bulletin
Heshvan/Kislev 5775 • November 2014
President’s Message, continued from page 2
Bal Koreh holds the Torah with the non-reading hand for his (or her) practical
need to scroll the parchment forward as the reading progresses—and because the
simple act of holding the handle is thought to bring the reader closer to God.
The dowels around which the parchment is wound are called the atzei chayim.
Those called up to the Torah, the aliyah honorees, are encouraged to take hold
of the atzei chayim handles while reciting the required blessings before and after
the Torah is publicly read. Essentially, the aliyah blessings acknowledge the gift
of receiving the Torah and the Torah’s power of implanting within us eternal life.
The Magbiah honoree lifts the Torah scroll while holding the handles of the atzei
chayim and opening columns of Torah and lifting the letters, words, and verses
toward heaven for the congregation to see. The Golel or Golelet honoree also has
an opportunity to hold the Torah by grasping the handles, rolling the Torah scroll
tightly, tying a strap to secure the Torah scroll before covering and crowning the
Torah, and returning it to rest in the aron kodesh.
So as you walk around the Adat Ari El grounds and come upon images of trees, or
take in the trees that are a part of our courtyard or our Biblical Garden, or receive
materials from us with the underlying image of a tree, think about how the
Torah is like a Tree of Life. What comes to mind when you think of a tree? Our
tradition understands that the Torah’s stories and commandments are meant to
teach us how to live our lives, and so it is as a Tree of Life, it is a tall tree to climb,
but the lessons are there for us to study, discuss, and learn. As we share our
understanding of stories, learn and teach stories and Torah truths, and especially
when we do so with the next generation, this is the “eternal life” promised by
Torah—this is why it is like a Tree of Life.
By our work, dedication, and effort, may the Adat Ari El community continue to
thrive from strength to strength and from generation to generation.

Thank You For
Your Support
As I write this note, it is in the afterglow
of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and
preparation for Sukkot. I very much enjoyed
seeing so many familiar faces and greeting
friends I have known for so long. It is this
community of families that makes the season so
rich and warm.
I want to thank all who have made a gift to our
2014-2015 Annual Campaign already—and
I want to encourage those who have delayed
to make your commitment now. Please take a
moment to send in your response card or go
online to www.adatariel.org. If you prefer to send
a check and have misplaced the response card,
just enclose a note to let us know which of our
many worthwhile programs you wish to support.
Thank you again for helping to create a house
of learning, prayer, and community. Every
donation is appreciated.

President’s Message
During a gathering over the holidays, I enjoyed celebrating with
friends and other Adat Ari El community members. Conversations
about kids, work, and school are always familiar topics as we catch
up from our previous visit. However, one conversation addressed
what Sisterhood has to offer. I was speaking with a woman
who stated, “I should join Sisterhood, but I like small group
activities, and I work during the day.” Sisterhood is known for its
volunteering opportunities, fundraising, and education. However,
the time we women have to volunteer or spend on ourselves
fluctuates. Why women join Sisterhood or how involved one
becomes is different for each person. My response to this hardworking mom was that we offer many programs throughout the
year, allowing her to connect with fellow Adat Ari El women, but
I suggested she check out our Cooking classes and Book Club. The
Cooking classes and Book Club meet in the evening and provide
intimate settings with great conversations.
Our Cooking classes are taught by professional chefs and meet
a couple times a year at fellow Sisterhood members’ homes. The
chef takes us step by step through all the themed recipes, which
we sample throughout the evening. The Cooking classes are part
of our long-standing M.I.D. program. Tuition for the series or
individual class sign-ups can be found on the Adat Ari El website’s
Sisterhood page. Follow the link for the M.I.D. brochure, and
check out our other M.I.D. classes offered during the day as well.
We are very pleased to announce that this year’s recipient
of the Chayai Olam Award is Lena Labowe, and the Kol
Ishah Award will go to Malinda Marcus! Both of these
women have shown dedication to our Sisterhood and
Torah Fund. We hope you will join us in honoring them
at our Annual Torah Fund Dinner on January 28, 2015.
Thanks to all of you who have made your pledges to
Torah Fund and to those of you who have already paid
your pledges! Our efforts will help secure the future
of Conservative Judaism by supporting its seminaries.
Remember all gifts are valuable and help us reach our
goal. This year’s theme is Mishpacha—Family. If you
haven’t already done so, won’t you please join the Torah
Fund Mishpacha to help educate the future leaders of
Conservative Judaism. The money that is donated to the
Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies here in Los Angeles
helps the students financially during their year of study
in Israel.
Your support of Torah Fund is much appreciated. Please
contact us if you have any questions.

Torah Fund Co-Chairs
The Sisterhood Book Club, chaired by Elaine Lieberman, began
meeting last fall after we received multiple requests from our
Sisterhood membership to begin a Book Club. Over the past year
we have read Jewish-based books such as I Am Forbidden, The
Dovekeepers, Girl from Foreign, My Promised Land, and The Tale of
Love and Darkness. Our December book selection is The Invention
of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. Inspired by real events and set in the
American Deep South during the 1800’s, the publisher describes
the book as a story about “righteous people living daily with
cruelty they fail to recognize; it celebrates the power of friendship
and sisterhood against all odds.” We will meet and discuss The
Invention of Wings Thursday, December 4th, at 7:30 p.m., in
the Newman Lounge. Sisterhood Book Club is free with your
Sisterhood membership.
