A MESSAGE FROM RABBI ROSENBAUM
Dayenu
and We
Want it All
When Rabbi Kula was here in March,
he spoke of a creative tension in
Jewish life. On the one hand, as we
say at the Passover Seder, Dayenu! If God had only done this
one miracle for us, and not all the others, that would have
been enough. In other words, as much as we want to improve
ourselves and the world, it’s essential that we take time to
celebrate the blessings which are already ours.
On the other hand, we want it all! And, we have a right to our
ambitions. There are things we can do better, and much of
Judaism is about spurring us into action, so that we rise to the
next level. Our challenge as Jews is to be happy and creatively
dissatisfied at the same time.
As we look over the year past, we have so many reasons to say
Dayenu. We can be grateful for:
• Another quality Torahthon
• A terrific Chanukah party
• A wonderful Legacy Brunch, in which we raised more funds than ever before (and Janine and I thank you again for the touching tribute)
• The Muppets Take Shushan, another fabulous Purim shpiel
• An amazing Scholar in Residence weekend with Rabbi Irwin Kula
• Another outstanding Day of Service in April
After a thorough search for the best person, we were thrilled
to hire Eliyahu Krigel to be our new Director of Education.
We were impressed with Eliyahu’s warm and engaging
personality, his ability to connect with children and adults,
his experience in Early Childhood as well as Elementary
Education, his spirituality, and the creative spark that he
brings to everything he does.
If hiring Eliyahu were the only new thing we did this year, we
could say Dayenu. But, there’s more! Our administrative staff
under the very capable leadership of our Executive Director,
Nadine Strauss, is re-organizing in some very creative ways
to provide a more flexible and dynamic response to the needs
of our large and active congregation. With Eliyahu Krigel
coming on board, Rabbi Yarkin’s responsibilities have shifted
to allow her more time to enlarge her outreach work. So, we
have been doing a lot of creative re-tooling on the leadership
level.
We have so much to say Dayenu for. But, we are creatively
dissatisfied. We want it all! So, among the things to look for in
the coming year:
• An expanded Early Childhood Program, with Chava Mirel leading a weekly Tot Shabbat program at HNT on Friday mornings for the under three crowd.
• Cantor Kurland’s Lunch and Sing Along program, starting in October.
• A refurbished and souped up Torahthon, one night only—
on a Saturday night!
• A stepped up relationship between HNT and Camp Solomon Schechter as both Eliyahu and Rabbi Yarkin spend significant time there with our kids, then bring back the If this is all we did this year, we could say Dayenu with a full
camp spirit to HNT
heart. But, there’s more! In Rabbi Yarkin’s first year with us,
• A Zimriyah/Song Festival in which varied age groups
she did wonderful work, including (but, not limited to):
of children and adults perform Hebrew songs on Yom • Teaching a very compelling class on human sexuality to our Ha’atzmaut/Israel Independence Day
high school students at Livnot Chai
• Ivrit for Everyone—a Hebrew Campaign, featuring as many • Stimulating and provocative teaching of Jewish text to as ten Hebrew language courses on all levels
B’Yachad Grades 3-5 parents Sundays, and B’Yachad Grades • Judaism as a Path to Human Flourishing: Developing Your 6-7 parents on Saturdays
own Spiritual Practice—taking Rabbi Kula’s challenge of • Starting the monthly Rosh Chodesh group for the women studying Jewish practices in depth, figuring out what their of our congregation
job is, then trying them out for 40 days.
• Creating Third Space, a very successful outreach program to draw the young adults of our community into the Jewish These are among the ways we hope to increase our connection
orbit (see Rabbi Yarkin’s column for more detail on these to the beauty of our Jewish heritage and to each other in the
programs and more).
coming year. Janine and I want to wish all of our friends at
HNT a wonderful, relaxing and rejuvenating summer!
Rabbi Yarkin will continue and expand her work of drawing
new people of varied ages into Jewish life as our Rabbi for
All the best,
Community Engagement. If Rabbi Yarkin’s great work is
Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum
all we had to be grateful for this year, we could say a very
enthusiastic Dayenu. But, there’s more!

Memory is one of the most vital
parts of being human. Every year we
gather together along with Jewish
communities around the world to
remember our tragedies and to
commemorate them. The Jewish
people lost the first and second
Temples on the 9th of the Hebrew
month of Av, and there have been
many tragedies that have befallen
our people on this date. Join us this
year for a meaningful and solemn
commemoration of these tragedies, as
we go from darkness to light.
Shabbat Greeters Needed!
We have two new Shabbat Greeters, but are looking for 10
more! Can you sign up to greet twice per year? Contact
[email protected] to learn more about this
important volunteer job!
Whether you’re brand new or a veteran greeter, join us for a
Greeter Gathering on June 14 at 10:00 AM!

A Message from Rabbi Yarkin
A look back at
my first year
at HNT...
I am always weary of Hillel’s caution
to not be self-aggrandizing:
“One who advances their name, destroys their name.” (Pirke
Avot,1:13) But, I also take seriously his follow-up observation:
“One who does not increase, diminishes. One who does not
learn is deserving of death.” Thus, it is in the spirit of reflecting
on our advancements in learning opportunities and community
building that I look back on my first year here at HNT.
In the synagogue, it has been a privilege to deliver monthly
Shabbat morning d’var Torahs, and I have had the honor of
speaking from the bima at the (almost) monthly Friday evening
B’yachad School families programs, too. I have begun to work
with B’nai mitzvah students on framing the meaning of their
special day, and studying Torah with them on a one-on-one
basis and also by going into the 6th grade class on Shabbat
mornings to facilitate some tremendous discussions on how
midrash (expounding material) informs our understanding of
biblical stories. I have been teaching weekly classes on Tuesday
evenings at Livnot Chai for our high school students, entitled
“Let’s Talk About Sex,” which explores pertinent issues that
teens are coping with, from gender identity and body image,
to making sacred choices in healthy relationships. This class
has been very popular! (please check out the Youth article for
details of more teen programming that happened over the year).
On Sunday mornings, I am
loving my role of storyteller
for our weekly assemblies and
help set the tone for that day’s
learning. Parents are always
encouraged to stay with
their child for assembly, and
learn alongside them (I always strive to make my stories “adult
friendly”). Parents of 3rd to 5th graders continue their learning
together monthly on Sundays for special adult education classes.
We have been investigating the Jewish perspective on the “Seven
Deadly Sins.” I am delighted to say that this series will continue,
as we still have some sins left uncovered! Parents of middle
school children have been coming for their dose of learning
to the monthly middle school B’yachad program on Shabbat
mornings. We have experimented with different modes of
prayer, philosophy, and shared how it feels to be a family going
through the B’nai Mitzvah life ritual.
Women’s League is an organization very dear to my heart, and
after being invited to speak at their beautiful kick-off event,
we realized it was time to revitalize a monthly Rosh Chodesh
6
group, open to all women in the community, and we launched
this together in January 2015. At our Monday night gatherings,
we welcome everyone with a beautiful candle lighting ceremony,
and have created an environment of singing, sharing, laughing
and learning together. These sessions have been a personal
highlight of my year!
Through being a public female face at HNT, and developing
relationships with the incredibly active members of this
community, I was invited to deliver the d’var Torah at the
Jewish Federations “Connections” event, which was my first
speaking engagement of that nature, and I will never forget how
supportive and encouraging the HNT members in that crowd
were to me that day.
As a follow up, the remarkable Hadassah foundation honored
me by asking if I would open for their Health and Wellness event
by leading a guided Jewish meditation. I am so grateful that this
happened as I came away from that experience having been
utterly inspired by the keynote speakers, and it was the first time
I had ever given a teaching wearing yoga pants.
In December 2014, we launched
Third Space at HNT, a community
of Jewish young professionals in
their 20s and 30s who laugh, learn,
connect, and celebrate Judaism
together. We meet every third Friday
of the month to partake in melodic, upbeat services and dinner,
and socialize together for happy hour. We have established
partnerships with other young professional organizations around
town, and have lovingly collaborated on multiple events, spanning
parties, speaker series, Jewish trivia evenings, to Shabbat Around
the Sound.
We have begun our series
“Passions” whereby lay
leaders step up to run a
one-off program that shares
their passion with the
group.Thus we have been
treated to a beer tasting,
and will be having a puppy
dog afternoon picnic this
summer. Beginning this June, we are meeting in each others’
homes for monthly “Torah on Tap” where, over desserts and
drinks, we discuss relevant issues using scintillating Jewish texts
both ancient and modern as our springboard.
It has been a pleasure learning, singing, and celebrating with
you all. Thank you for being so welcoming to my husband and I
in our transition here, for your enthusiastic support as I try out
new things, and for your patience as I learn the ropes (and your
names!). Above all, thank you for trusting me to be one of your
guides along your personal path of Jewish thriving.

Youth programming Reflections
It’s been a blast for our Seattle Achim youth chapter! We kicked
off September with a glorious BBQ bonfire social for all our
9th to 12th graders. For sukkot we experienced a gorgeous
musical Havdallah followed by a Sound Garden in the Sukkah.
We stayed connected to each other throughout the year by
gathering for monthly Friday night potluck dinners to celebrate
Shabbat, where our USY President Niva never failed to leave us
unsatisfied with her legendary matzah ball soup.
In February, to
promote positive
self-esteem, we held
an Un-Valentines
Day Movie Night,
where we previewed
the short movie
made by our
own USY board
member Juliette Levy, “As You Love Thyself,” that won her an
award! This was followed by screening the movie “Zoolander”
(naturally) and a healthy dose of ice cream and popcorn!
In March we rocked the microphone for a post-Purim Shpiel
Karaoke, and many, many Hamentashen lost their lives that
day. Yum! We then channeled that energy into some
community mitzvah opportunities! I am so proud that USY
took care of Teen Feed on behalf of HNT for March. They
prepped, cooked and served 70 meals to teens-in-need living
in the U-District. These teens continued their mitzvah work
at our HNT Day of Service where they rocked-out an array of
projects. Kol HaKavod to our teens for helping our community
and thank you to parents for supporting these efforts!
At the USY Regional Convention in May, we won USY Chapter
of Excellence! We also hosted an important StandWithUs Israel
awareness program, where teens were taught how to advocate
for Israel in various situations. We talked about the country’s
complexities and achievements with the help of a panel and
college students who have encountered anti-Israel sentiments
both in our community. Never to host an event without food,
we bookended the year by with a BBQ and bonfire and (nondairy!) s’mores.
I am thrilled to report that a
record number of our teens
have been going to Livnot, our
supplementary High School
program. HNT is in partnership
with local synagogues and our
students have been thriving in
the elective, pluralistic environment. Many enrolled to take
the Madrichim (leadership) training course that sets up our
teenagers for success at becoming budding Jewish leaders and
supervisors of children. This showed up in a beautiful way
at HNT’s Frankel Religious School where many of our teens
have chosen to become Teacher Assistants. Here, they are a
vital presence in our school, helping to supervise our younger
children, inspiring them on the path of ethical behavior,
coaching them in their Hebrew reading, and helping our hardworking teachers execute their creative classroom activities. A
large number of our students have also been putting their Torah
reading skills to amazing use and have stepped up to become
peer leaders, working as one-on-one tutors for our upcoming
B’nai Mitzvah students. It is so beautiful to watch them work
with these students, and pass on their knowledge; the B’nai
Mitzvah students really look up to these older teens!
Kadima programming for the 6th
and 7th graders has really moved
FORWARD (which is what the
word ‘Kadima’ means!) this year.
We started the Fall semester with
Sunday afternoon programs with
nothing other than Simpsons and Torah! What? D’oh! We
“studied” Simpsons episodes and identified and discussed the
Jewish value to which they pertained. See, Torah lessons can
be found even in the Simpsons! Who knew? We followed that
up with after-Hebrew School events that have been hugely fun
and well attended! Our 6th graders stay on Monday evenings
and our 7th graders on Tuesday evenings for pizza, interactive
games, social bonding-time and youth empowerment! We have
had synagogue-wide cell phone scavenger hunts, and pitted the
students against one another in epic trivia rounds, from Sports,
Music, Hebrew, to Harry Potter. Special shout out to Sammy
Friedman and Risa Wagner for helping write rounds of trivia.
As the year comes to an end, I want to thank everybody for
the support they have shown our youth programs, especially
the parents who have partnered with me in sharing feedback,
being willing to drive their teens to these programs, and passed
on the value of Jewish community building.
I want to thank our Youth
Commission, Steve and
Ariel Novick, Briana
Roberts, and Michael
Berkenwald who were
wonderful soundboards
and advice givers to me
in my first year here. Aviva Tilles our Regional USY Director
has been an invaluable support. Lee Peha was our fantastic
USY advisor, diligent in supporting our USY Board, leading
awesome games, and getting things done! Maya Yeyni joined us
as our Kadima Advisor in spring and was a hugely dynamic and
smiley addition to our team! Becky Constantine was a constant
support and ideas generator, and Leslie Mickel has been our
passionate advocate, encouraging our youth to engage in all
these opportunities, and coordinating the Torah Tutoring and
TAs throughout the year. Thank you all!
I’m so excited for the future of the youth experience here at
Herzl-Ner Tamid and to keeping this great momentum going!
If you want to get involved, email me at [email protected].
Have a wonderful summer!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Personal
Reflections
It’s hard to believe that summer
is already here! I think we just
bypassed winter in Seattle…
It’s also hard for me to believe that I am now halfway into my
term as your president. The time has been going way too fast, but
I’m really looking forward to another year with exciting changes
here at HNT!
I do enjoy most of my role as president, though what really
gives me the most satisfaction is what many perceive as the
“little things.” I’m referring to doing those seemingly “little
things” that positively impact people’s lives, even in a small
way. And, those little things really DO matter. The good news
for most of you is that you don’t need to be president of the
synagogue to be able to do those impactful things – we all
have these opportunities right here at HNT. So, here are some
examples:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Become one of our Shabbat Greeters and make people feel truly welcomed when they come to Shabbat services
Reach out to congregants at HNT whom you don’t already know, and strike up a conversation to learn more about them
Come to morning minyan and ensure that there will be a minyan for other congregants observing a Yahrzeit.
Invite a new family over for Shabbat Dinner
Invite someone over for the holidays who is looking for a
place to go
Visit a sick congregant and bring over dinner
Serve food to homeless teens at the monthly Teen Feed
Call congregants to wish them happy High Holidays
Offer to drive an elderly congregant to services who may not have transportation
If you would like to get involved in doing any of these, but are
not sure how, please email me at [email protected] .
I would also like to personally get to know more congregants,
and I encourage you to email me at [email protected] so we
can setup a time to meet for lunch or coffee.
All the best, and enjoy your summer!
Dan Mintz, HNT President
Get your sneakers on and mark your calendar for the
Swedish SummeRun & Walk
for Ovarian Cancer
with HNT Athletes/Team HNT!
Sunday, July 19 • Race begins at 8:15 AM •
Swedish Medical Center, First Hill, Seattle
$30 pre-registration fee through July 15
$35 day-of-race
Swedish SummeRun (5K Run/Walk) was started in
1993 by Saul Rivkin, MD, and his five daughters,
with the help and support of Swedish Medical
Center, in memory of Marsha Rivkin z”l, a beloved
HNT member, and in recognition of the ongoing
fight against this deadly disease. Since 1993, Swedish
SummeRun has raised over $4 million towards
ovarian cancer research.
We continue to participate in loving memory of
HNT members Marsha Rivkin, Babs Fisher, and Gail
Stulberg. Money raised from SummeRun will help
the Marsha Rivkin Center in its mission to save lives
and reduce suffering through improved treatment,
early detection, and prevention of ovarian cancer.
100% of proceeds benefit the Marsha Rivkin Center
for Ovarian Cancer Research. Last year we raised
$2,575 - help us top that goal and run cancer down!
Help make 2015 the best year ever as we run or
walk in support of this great cause!
Visit h-nt.org/SummeRun
and join Team HNT!

Daytimers SPRING 2015 Film Series
June 17: Re-emerging: The
Jews of Nigeria A 2012 film
This film tells the story of
a fascinating subculture
of people who believe that
they are descendants of lost
tribes of Israel who made
their way to Nigeria many
generations ago. Numbering
several thousand, they make
a strong case for it as they
maintain dozens of village
synagogues and joyfully
subscribe to such Jewish rituals as keeping kosher, observing
the Sabbath, and circumcision. Like other African tribes we
have seen, they love to sing; but their singing is the prayers
and rituals that we all are familiar with as Jews.
Films follow lunch ($7/person),
served 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Reserve by the Friday before the event
For more information or to make
reservations, call 206-232-8555
Register at: h-nt.org/daytimers
NEW: Daytimers now has a library cart!
Thanks to our HNT librarians, each month when
you come to Daytimers you’ll now have access to
many great titles, DVDs and magazines - without
needing to go downstairs. Please remember the
Frankel Library Fund when making tributes to the
synagogue.
