Here are some of the most unique Passover traditions from around the world. Jews living in Afghanistan developed the tradition of using scallions or leeks to stand for the Egyptian slavedrivers’ whips, using them to lightly “whip” each others’ backs. Jews have lived in Afghanistan at least since the Babylonian conquest 2,000 years ago, but in 2004 only two Jews were left in the country. It is now estimated that only a single Jew lives in Afghanistan, as the other died in 2005. The largest group of Afghan Jews in the world is comprised of 200 families in Queens, New York. In the British territory of Gibraltar, a tiny peninsula off Spain where Jews have lived for about 650 years, there’s a special recipe for charoset: the dust of real bricks, ground up and mixed in. Hasidic Jews from the Polish town of Góra Kalwaria, known as Gerer Hasids, re-enact the crossing of the Red Sea on the seventh day of Passover by pouring water on the floor, lifting up their coats, and naming the towns that they would cross in their region of Poland. They raise a glass at each “town” and then thank God for helping them reach their destination. Does your family have a unique Seder meal custom? Email us and we will share it on our Facebook page. April 2015 There will be no Shabbat Service at TKC on Friday April 3, in observance of the first night of Passover. the Kol Kehillah From the Rabbi Yom HaShoah Passover Yizkor Service Thursday, April 9, 7:00 PM Yizkor means “may God remember,” from the root word zakhor--remember. Join us as we honor the memory of our loved ones. Yom HaShoah Commemoration Wednesday, April 15, 7:00 PM Yom HaShoah, (Holocaust Remembrance Day), occurs on the 27th of Nisan. Shoah, which means catastrophe or utter destruction in Hebrew, refers to the atrocities that were committed against the Jewish people during World War II. This is a memorial day for those who died in the Shoah. The congregation is invited to join together in observancce and rememberance of the Shoah. Yellow memorial candles will be available that evening for those who wish to take them home to light. How is it that Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day) came to be observed on the 27th of Nisan twelve days after Passover? This years it begin on the evening of Wednesday, April 15. For one thing, the holiday’s occurrence in this season is not without controversy, especially among more traditional Jewish communities. On the heels of Purim and in the optimistic spirit of Pesach, Nisan is regarded as a joyous month in which we celebrate the triumph of the Jewish spirit in spite of unspeakable odds. Some offered that it should be aligned with Tisha B’Av, the summer fast remembering the destruction of the First and Second Temples, which was already seen by many to be a day of mourning in the calendar. In fact, our previous Shabbat prayerbook, The Gates of Prayer, included Yom HaShoah prayers in the Tisha B’av section. While not discounting the idea of a Holocaust commemoration, others still wondered later if the day should incorporate a remembrance of lives lost in other European atrocities such as the Inquisition or the Russian pogroms. In 1951, Israel Parliamient (Knesset) member Mordechai Nurock gave a powerful speech in which he elevated the horrors of the Holocaust above any of the other previous massacres or battles faced by the Jewish community. “We need to choose a date,” he said, “that coincides with most of the slaughter of European Jewry and with the ghetto uprisings (Warsaw Ghetto) that took place in the 2 Harvey J. Winokur month of Nisan.” Directly addressing the idea of Nisan as a joyous time, he went on to note that this date occurred during the counting of the Omer (the days between Pesach and Shavuot), a time when many Jewish communities were destroyed throughout history and a period of semi-mourning in traditional circles. Shortly after Nurock’s impassioned plea, the Knesset passed a bill in establishing the holiday on the 27th of Nisan. Having just completed Passover, the timing of Yom HaShoah is a constant reminder about the importance of maintaining resistance despite circumstances which make it nearly impossible to do so. T K C w i l l c o m m e m o r a t e Yo m HaShoah at 7:00 PM on the evening of Wednesday, April 15. We will read from our Holocaust Scroll. In remembrance, will read the names of the Jews of Bzenec (Bisenc) who were sent to their deaths by the Nazis. All those present at the service will receive a yellow memorial candle, sponsored by the Federation of Jewish Men’s’ Club and provided by the TKC Brotherhood, to light at home in remembrance of the millions who perished. Rabbi Harvey J. Winokur April 2015 the Kol Kehillah News from the Director of Education Catherine Rosing Director of Education Every month, it is a challenge to figure out a new way to express an important message. I usually begin by scanning previous years’ articles hoping that some fresh idea will occur to me. I think about recent educational experiences and conversations with other educators. Next, my mind considers those around me and the question comes up, “have I expressed appreciation and admiration where it is due?” Then, I think about the calendar and the events that have occurred and what is coming up. Lastly, I worry about repeating myself and sounding boring. BUT, sometimes the message is just too important not to repeat. but how can one deny that to hear the Sh’ma is to wake up and take notice. We have designed our curriculum to teach prayer Hebrew in such a way that our students can experience a connection to being Jewish. The 26 Sundays we are in Religious School lays the foundation. It is imperative that students practice during the week. It is just as important to attend Shabbat services. Hearing the prayers and joining in with the community cements a connection. It is also an opportunity for students to connect what they are learning with practice. Twenty years ago, I took the Cantor’s adult Hebrew class. It gave me the base, but Shabbat attendance made me feel comfortable to read Hebrew prayers with and in front of the congregation. Wait a minute - repeating oneself? Isn’t this an important teaching methodology? When we repeat things, they become part of our personal culture. We rely on repetition to move ideas from short term to long term brain files. We celebrate the same holidays every year. This repetition of celebration builds a greater knowledge bank about Jewish customs and culture. We are out of Religious School most of April. After May 17, we’ll be out for summer break. It would be a shame for students to lose the momentum they have built up over the year. Attending Shabbat services allows students a greater connection to Shabbat and the Kehillah and gives them an opportunity to practice their Hebrew by following along with the service. Sounds too easy! So join me, the Rabbi, Cantor and whoever happens to show up at services! Now to the real meat of this month’s message – Hebrew and repetition. Hebrew is one of many things which distinguish us as a culture. We may not all aspire to make aliyah to Israel, Reminder: Saturday, May 2, 10:30 AM 5th and 6th Grade Shabbat Catherine Rosing Confirmation Shabbat Friday, May 1, 7:30 PM The entire congregation is invited to join the Confirmation class for the culmination of their religious school experience on May 1 at 7:30 PM.

For more information and rental fees contact Suesan Phillips at [email protected] News from the TKC President 50th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” We came to Selma, Alabama for the 50th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” the day on which peaceful marchers were viciously attacked by Police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The Bridge, named after Edmund Pettus, a Confederate General, US Senator and Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, was a symbol of everything wrong with America in that time. In our time, it became a symbol of hope that the American Dream of equality would be finally realized. The answer today is yes – and no. Although the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed at the Bridge, this law has now been gutted by the US Supreme Court in a split decision that no longer requires Federal supervision of voting rights in the southern states. But why did we come to Selma? We came because it is a special place and time. Being a “Baby Boomer,” I remember the marches, boycotts and freedom rides – and I remember that we, as Reform Jews, were in the forefront of the Civil Rights movement. I remember my father, Milton Bauman, in the early 1960s, helping to found the Christian Light Missionary Baptist Church in my home town, Long Beach, NY. I was there at the first service with him. I remember President Lyndon Johnson (whom I greatly admired) and his leadership in bringing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to fruition. No other president in our time could have done this; his mastery of the ins and outs of Congress enabled him to make these two pieces of legislation a reality. I remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. of the SCLC and his leadership in the movement, and the tremendous loss when he was assassinated. And too, there were Roy Wilkins of the NAACP, James Farmer and Roy Innis of CORE and many, many others who contributed their blood, sweat and tears for equality in this United States. So, my wife Harriette and I, our daughter Tracy and two of the grandchildren, 6 Richie Bauman Jabari and Kyla, drove to Selma. Unlike 1965, most of the police were smiling; there were black police officers and white police officers – in 1965, none were black. Although it was 2015, I could feel that long gone fear as we crossed the Bridge – among thousands! Blacks, whites, Hispanics, Native Americans, the old, the young, men, women, children – thousands and thousands. Let me not forget our hosts, Temple Mishkan Israel, a waning community of Reform Jews just down the road a piece from the Bridge in downtown Selma. This tiny Reform Jewish community of ten members hosted our delegation, organized by Rabbi Fred Guttman of North Carolina. Fittingly, we crossed the bridge with three of those members, one of whom took the photo of us on the Bridge. I would estimate that all three that crossed with us were about 75 years old – and they crossed over! We all crossed the Bridge for one reason – Hope! There is hope in that Bridge – only if we raise our voices as a Kehillah with other Kehillot, regardless of denomination, against injustice, against discrimination, against violence! That is the real legacy of the Edmund Pettus Bridge. As Jews, as Reform Jews, that is our legacy! April 2015 the Kol Kehillah Youth Engagement KLUB 345 KlLUB 345 participated in a Mitzvah Day project in March. Klub members made three beautiful fleece blankets that will be distributed to treatment centers at Children’s Health Care of Atlanta.
