Rosh Hashana - Tiferes Israel
לשנה טובה כתבות ותחתמו Tishri 5773 Volume XIII Number 1 Bulletin, Moncton-Dieppe- ריברויו, NB PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE, A September 2012 s we approach the Jewish year of 5773, we can think about the current state of our community. The title of a famous song “Times they are a changing” comes to mind. We all remember a time, in the not too distant past, when we were blessed with the help of many members. Let us hope that our community can learn to pull together in order to shine once again. Let us hope that more members will find the energy and the motivation to join the few dedicated individuals who are currently forming the pillars that support our Synagogue. Nancy’s article to Shalom magazine is a complement to this report and can be found on page 5. We had the pleasure, this summer, to see many Jewish visitors come and join us in Shul for Shabbat. Among others, David Spevakow, the president of the Kelowna Jewish community spent Shabbat with us. A regular pilot with WestJet, let us hope that we will see a few more times when his schedule brings him here. A few Israelis, residents of Moncton have become regular to the Friday or Saturday morning services. That is great! Without them we would not have enough people to conduct full service. Toda raba David, Yoav, Lior, Uri, Morris, Eugene, Igor and Yuri and a special thank you to Lior and Morris who have been preparing the leining a number of times this summer. Three very happy events took place in the synagogue this year: • the briss-milah of Benjamin Isaac Makarov on January 31, 2012, the naming of Isabella Hannah (Bella Chana) Makarov on March 10, 2012, (both children were born on January 24), • the Bar Mitvah of Pinny (Pinchas) Yagod on November 26, 2011, parashat Toledot. All these events were followed by beautiful kiddushes and dinners (for the Bar-Mitzvah). Other Naches to report: • a grand daughter to Ann and Harry Gorber, Livia, daughter of Lorne and Venessa, • a grand daughter to Francis Weil, Ella, daughter of Sarah-Nadine and Laurent, • a big Naches is coming in late October. Get ready, Joshua Makarov will become bar-mitzvah, it will be the occasion for the whole community to get together. Please find in page 5 of this bulletin, your personnal invitation to the Simcha. Mazal tov to the Gorber, to the Weil and to the Makarov families! • Two new Israeli families, with a total of five children, are supposed to come sometime next year. We are looking forward to meet them. Mazal tov also to Amos Gorber, the oldest member of our community. Rabbi and Rebbetzin Yagod, on a part time basis, are bringing our community much enthusiasm, spirituality and passion for Life and Judaism. Several of our youngest members had a great time while learning about Judaism at Tiferes Israel Day Camp in June. The camp was led by Huvie Yagod with the help of her sister Channie. It provided a fun filled Jewish atmosphere for children ages 4 to 13. Both the Rabbi and the Rebbetzin are eager to hear from you, and to work with you in order to revitalize Jewish life in the area. They also look forward to helping anyone interested in discovering greater comfort and joy with their own Judaism. Please do not hesitate to contact them, either in person, by phone or e-mail Parents who have kids not registered in Cheder classes are encouraged to speak to Rebbetzin Yagod. The loss of valuable members is hard on a small community. Every one is so important and when souls move on, the community as a whole feels the loss. Joseph Naylor z”l will be dearly missed! On behalf of our community, I offer Jane and her family sincere and heartfelt condolence. As we approach Rosh Hashanah, I would like to mention some of this past year’s memorable events, such as the BBQ and building of the Sukkah, the Simchat Torah deli-splurge, the Hanukkah dinner, the Purim traditional feast, the special Kiddushes and the annual summer BBQ at Betty Druckman’s. I hope to see you all at services for the High Holidays, as well as the building of the Sukkah, Sunday September 23, the Sunday before Yom-Kippur. Jewish life in Atlantic Canada has changed. A generation or two ago, our provinces were blessed with 10 Tishri 5773 2 vibrant Shuls that all had rabbis and regular services There is a need now to pull together. We have many challenges now. Getting enough people for the services… finding enough funds to meet our expenses… The board is appealing to all our members to make an effort and be generous. We have not increased dues, but our revenues are decreasing as is our membership. We need additional funds besides dues. We are setting up a Synagogue Fund and Myer Rabin, our V.-P. can help you if you want to make a donation that will decrease your income taxes payements. Our deficit is becoming larger every year and we have to realize that the time will soon come where it is going to become too much a burden. As said before, last week, the president of the Kelowna (B.C.) community was in Shul. He gave me some ideas on how to raise funds, see, for example, http://ojcc.ca/golftournament.php I hope that we will find enough volunteers and you will be inspired to lend a helping hand for these special programs. I do hope that the positive forces in our community will prevail. However, I do realise how hard it is to motivate the membership. No-one answered my plea for help in writing this bulletin. I will soon cease to be president and write the bulletin. Let us hope that someone will take over. You can be a part of our community’s solutions. Do not underestimate the value of any amount of time and/or financial support that you can offer, and please strive to do so in the spirit of Love and Joy. Baruch Hashem. May you and all your relations be blessed with peace of mind, good health, joy and happiness.

L’Shana Tova Tiferes Israel, Tishri 5773 page - 2 - Tishri 5773 3 From The Desk of The Rabbi Dear Friends “Jewish Monctonian and Proud of it !” Face it, we Canadians are more famous for a sense of humility than pride, Maritimers, even more so. So pride does not come easily and most prefer it that way. Yet we learn in the Jewish commentaries that a very small dose of pride is not a form of arrogance and is to be encouraged. That small dose of pride is good when it results in greater communal energy, in greater effort expended to achieve a difficult goal. When it comes to sports it becomes obvious how essential both individual and communal pride support the system and its accomplishments. You can be sure that there would be no Wayne Gretzky or Maurice “Rocket” Richard without that fierce pride in the sport and the team. Our community is a lovely and wonderful community with a brighter future than the average small Jewish community and a enjoys a very strong likelihood of taking its place among the leading Canadian Jewish communities of the next decade. A small dose of communal pride is to be welcomed and will help provide the substantial energy needed to enable our communal dreams. Yes, this pride -is kosher! My friends, it is hard to believe that this month marks 3 years since Frimet, the kids and I came to join this wonderful shul and community. Much has happened and much more to be done but let us allow ourselves to briefly reflect on what is positive and good and what has transpired and developed in the past 3 years. First and foremost, there is a strong sense of communal SHALOM, peace. Without peace nothing can endure, for nothing can be built on quicksand...Let us never take peace for granted again, a good foundation is so obviously important and yet proves so elusive to a great many long-standing kehillot and shuls ! Many children are starting to come to the shul -for services, lessons, events or just some Jewish socialization. New families and some young dynamic individuals have already moved here or are in the process of doing so. We have had a wonderful summer camp -3 summers now-with excellent reviews from the kids and the parents and as well we have had several Shabbatonim that bring in Jews from the region to our area. During the school year an increasing number of weeks feature larger crowds and numerous kids on the bimah, boding well for future growth. Pride in what IS good is most important for our success so that instead of looking at the negatives such as the ‘slow weeks’, we stay upbeat until indeed every week is a ‘good week’. Make no mistake, this will take time but in this season of “Teshuva”, returning home we can return life to our shul if we our patient with ourselves. On another note, the local kashruth work has increased greatly, which provides a crucial support Tiferes Israel, Tishri 5773 enabling us to establish our long-term presence in town. Going forward I’d like to ask everyone to help our shul stay viable and to join us at various events. I hope to make the Maritime Shabbatonim a regular event to bring Jews together right here in Moncton. Our late Joe Naylor taught me something from his personal experience: How one far-reaching can be the impact of just one Shabbaton ! Finally, I’d like to Thank our wise President: Francis Weil and the entire dedicated team that governs the shul including the entire Board of Directors, Ivan Cohen, our Gabbai, Betty Rubin, president of Sisterhood and the entire Sisterhood, Tut Gorber, head of Chevra Kadisha and his entire team and each and everyone who helps the shul! Have a Sweet Year ~Your Rabbi, Y. I. M. Yagod, B.Sc. Cheder Corner Tiferes Israel Cheder is gearing up for a new, exciting year. We are looking forward to a Bar Mitzvah IY”H of one of our students and new programs for the students. We would also like to thank Heather Evans of PEI for donating the Tal Am Hebrew Reading and Language program to the Cheder. The students and staff of Cheder Tiferes Israel wish the community a Shana Tova. Rebbetzin’s Corner Over the three years of being in Moncton, there are recurring themes that people have expressed that they would like information on. These topics include Davening (Prayer), lessons on the weekly Parsha (Torah Portion), Kosher, Shabbat, Mikvah and contemporary issues. To address this need, it was felt that a new column in the Bulletin should be started. As well, new classes will IY”H be started for the adults after the Holidays for anyone interested in pursuing a deeper, richer Jewish Education. Our first topic will be Davening/Prayer. Let us explore some of the Prayers that Jews, the world over, pray. The first one that everyone agrees on is Shema. The source of this Prayer is in Devarim/Deutoronmy 6:4. Surprisingly, the first verse was actually said by the children of Jacob when he was instructing them on their spiritual mission prior to his passing. Jacob wanted to reveal to them when Moshiach/Messiah would come and how to prepare spiritually for it. At that moment, Hashem removed Jacob’s ability to give prophesy in order to prevent him from revealing this information. As Jacob experienced this, he thought that maybe one of his children had either sinned or was not on the spiritual level to even explore this topic. Jacob’s children answer ”Hear Israel (Jacob’s second name) Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is one.” Moses repeats this verse in his time of page - 3 - Tishri 5773 4 instructing the Israelites prior to his passing. Moshe further instructs them: “And you shall love your G-d with all your heart, all your soul and all your resources.” Rambam/Maimonides in his treatise entitled “The Eight Chapters”, poses the following question: how can we love Hashem since we cannot see Hashem with our own eyes? Maimonides answers that we investigate, learn and absorb that which Hashem created i.e. we study the world Hashem created to understand and appreciate Hashem. As such, we are obligate to study the various sciences, maths etc. to accomplish the Mitzvah of loving Hashem. We are entreated by the Torah to employ 3 varying tools to reach this goal. We must use our hearts which includes both the good and evil inclinations, our souls i.e. regardless of how difficult it is to accomplish this Mitzvah (which includes all the other Mitzvot), we must still persevere. The person who says“ I will only do that which is convenient for me” has missed the point of this Mitzvah. The third tool is all our resources. There are many ways to accomplish a Mitzvah. For example, we use our money to pay for our expenses of Shabbat, the Holidays and Jewish Education. Even if the tuition fees are a little steep, we still persevere to make sure our children have an excellent Jewish Education. In the next article, we will continue exploring the Shema and its ramifications on Jewish History and contemporary Jewish life. Hannah Davidson! “VERY WELL DONE”, her team got fabulous goodies to auction. I know Hannah, Simone, Nicole and Jennifer with advice from Ruth and Joan, spent time at meetings and co-ordinating this project. It certainly highlighted the afternoon as well as it was a fun financial success. I would also like to thank our president, Francis Weil, whose direction, availability and leadership is very much appreciated. To everyody who came to the BAR-B-Q, thank you. To those who were not able to, we look forward to seeing you next August. HAVE A HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR. BETTY RUBIN-DRUCKMAN Rebbetzin NOTES FROM SISTERHOOD Our 4th annual BAR-B-Q took place Sunday August 19th. I am still beaming with the delightful success. The combination of a growing Jewish enthusiastic community enjoying each other, stories of the past, it was evident the future of our Jewish community looked bright, gaining momentum of strength to project a future that will create Moncton as one of the leading Jewish communities in the Maritimes. The youth of our community were approximately eighteen, ages six months to fifteen, the youngest and newest members (the Makarov twins) enjoyed their first Jewish function. Team work for the BAR-B-Q was superb. David Rinzler and Jordan Davidson controlled BAR- B-QUING. The hot dogs and hamburgers, brought from the US via Rabbi and Rebbetzin Yagod, were delicious. John FLANAGAN, always available, brought the BAR-B-Q and table to my house. Joan Mayer, Ruth Fuller, always enthusiastic, added great finishing touches to the lunch, coleslaw, potato salad and vegetable salad. The highlight of the party was the “SILENT AUCTION”. Hannah Davidson chaired this event. This project was very successful. CONGRATULATIONS to Tiferes Israel, Tishri 5773 page - 4 - Tishri 5773 5 Report from Moncton to Shalom magazine In May, Tiferes Israel hosted a delightful evening of storytelling by Jewish storyteller Aubrey Davis. Mr. Davis was touring New Brunswick as part of the TD Canadian Children’s Book Week author tour. He is the author of several books for children including Bagels for Benny, Kishka for Koppel and A Hen for Izzy Pippik, as well as a fabulous storyteller, and many of the stories he tells have their roots in the Talmud. About 50 people of all ages attended and everyone was mesmerized by his stories. Many thanks to the AJC for helping to sponsor Aubrey’s visit to the shul. Tiferes Israel Day Camp took place for 2 weeks in late June and early July and was once again a great success. Ahuva Yagod, the camp director created a great program that taught the kids about the 7 days of creation in a very hands-on way with crafts, baking, games and other activities. All the children who attended had a wonderful time. We appreciate the AJC’s help in funding the camp this summer. Mazel tov to: th -Amos Gorber, for reaching, in July, his 99 birthday. -Audrey Lampert, on being named to the Order of New Brunswick. Audrey is being honoured for her outstanding career as an educator and her deep commitment to promoting human rights. -Reuben Cohen on receiving the Diamond Jubilee Medal (see page 8). http://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/multimedia/mmrende rer.2012.06.2012-06-19_4.jpg.html -Aviva Attis, daughter of David and Margaret, on her recent marriage to Jeremy Poriah, son of Diane Koven and Avi Poriah. Proud grandmothers are Minnie Attis and Marcia Koven. -Ben Sichel, son of Joannie and John, on his recent marriage to Katherine (Kat) Kitching from Halifax. -Arianne Cohen, daughter of David Cohen and Carolyn Baer on her graduation from high school. Condolences to Marilyn Boghen and family on the loss of Marilyn’s mother. The synagogue is quite active. Extensive work has been done over the past two years on the Mikvah to bring it to religious standards, thanks to the efforts of Rabbi and Rebbetzin Yagod who have found exterior funding for the repairs. The Mikvah is now fully operational. Jews who want to use it should contact Rabbi or Rebbetzin Yagod (tiferesisrael.com). Services are held regularly four times a week. A new group of Israelis are helping to complete the minyanim. We want to thank Joseph Kohn who has been reading the Torah for many years. Ivan Cohen, Morris Samuel and, lately, Lior Boxer have also prepared the leining. David Bendavid, Theodore Lewis and Francis Weil are Tiferes Israel, Tishri 5773 contributing to the davening. Joan Mayer, Goldie Johnson, Ruth Fuller and Carole Savage have been spending a lot of time preparing the Kiddushes. The community had its annual BarBQ on Sunday August 19. It was held, as usual, at Betty Druckman house in Shediac Bridge. In addition to kosher hot dogs and hamburgers, we had a musician and a silent auction “bring and buy”. Everyone had fun. New immigrants are soon going to join the community. We are expecting two families with five children shortly and might, later, receive another three families. Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and sweet New Year. Shana tova.

The medal honours the significant contributions and achievements of Canadians. It was created to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign as Queen of Canada. From left: Nelson; Stultz; Cohen; and Moncton Mayor George LeBlanc. From Michael Ruben WHEN THE HOLY TEMPLE was destroyed the stones were scattered all over the world. Wherever a stone fell a house of worship was eventually constructed, and that special stone was used as part of the foundation as a constant reminder of the Holy Temple. A Chasidic rabbi said that our holy melodies originated from the music of the Temples. These melodies, like the Jewish people and the Temple stones, were dispersed among the nations of the world. AT THE WALL, around 3 a.m., we heard a man chanting Tehilim. We listened and watched him for awhile. When he finished we approached him and asked where he was from. He said, "Well, I'm from Russia. Do you know how much I paid to get here? Ten years in Siberia." We asked how he managed to spend ten years in Siberia. "You'd never guess," he said. "It was because I couldn't stop singing. I remember when I was a little boy I asked my father where the songs are of the Beit Hamikdosh. It can't be that we forgot all the melodies. My father could only hold back his tears. Don't you remember even one note father?" I asked him. Tears appeared as he spoke, "My zeide told me that the Nusach of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were the holiest of the holies, so that's what I sing. What a privilege, what an honor." The beautiful thing about chants is that, with the right combination of notes, they open themselves to endless harmonies. Your voice, someone else's voice, everyone's voice; as each person adds their own harmony, they create their own chant from which others can harmonize. It is magical. It is the secret of their impact. See you in shul, B. E.
