H o w funny,..How sad...
Reflections for the millennium
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
M e s s a g e from the Rabbi

• Funny how a $1,000 "looks" so big when you are asked for a High Holy Day
pledge, but so small when you take it to the mall.
M e s s a g e from Pres. Sandy Mallin
• Funny how long it takes to serve God with an hour of volunteer time, but how
quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
• Funny how long a couple of hours a week spent at Shabbat services are, but
how short they are when watching a Rebels home football game.
• Funny how we can't think of anything to say when w e pray, but don't have
difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
• Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but
we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.

• Funny how hard it is to study a few pages of Jewish holy texts, but how easy

• Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at synagogue services.

• Funny how we need 6 weeks advance notice to fit a Temple event into our
schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.

Notes & News
• Funny how hard it is for people to learn a little bit of Torah well enough to
tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat
gossip.
• Funny how we believe whatever drivel the newspaper prints, but question the
time-proven values that Judaism teaches.
• Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to
believe, or think, or say, or do anything.

• Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread
like wildfire, but when you start sending serious messages regarding God and
religion, people think twice about sharing.

25TH EDITION
A Message From Rabbi Felipe Goodman
In this " N e w Millennium:
A Program for Healthy
Growth
T
of the
Bible
delineates the career of Moses,
probably
has had
more
influence on the destiny of humankind than any other single individual. It is enlightening to observe how the Torah
describes his life. In describing how he grew up, the Torah
surprisingly uses what our ancient commentators considered duplicate language. "And the child grew up" is followed by "And Moses grew up." Why does the Bible tell us
twice that Moses grew up? The answer: There are several
ways of growing up. Merely to state that he grew up would
not give us the entire scope of his
growth. "And the child grew up," is an
expression of physical growth. It tells
us that
Moses
achieved
physical
stature. The second phrase describes
growth that is not related to physical
size. It portrays moral and spiritual
components. An understanding of the
dual process of growth emerges from
someone that hides behind wealth; a powerful person is
someone that works hard to turn dreams into reality without stepping over other people's life. A person of greatness
is someone who is so secure in him/herself that they do not
find the need to justify his/her beliefs through manipulation, blackmail or deceitful persuasion. A person of statue
is one that stays loyal to his/her ideals in spite of the differences he/she might feel with those that are working with
him/her towards the betterment of this world.
In all ages, as a society w e have placed emphasis on
physical growth. To describe the status of the United States,
we have statistics about its bigness. We cite our GNP, Gross
National Product. All the physical objects we manufacture
make up the Gross National Product. The Bible reminds us
that in evaluating a country or person, we need both statistics that have to do with bigness and a measurement of
greatness that cannot be calculated in physical terms. It is
not sufficient to describe a country in terms of its GNP. We
need to know its Gross Spiritual Product. What kind of people are we? Is there justice and righteousness in this land?
Is there brotherhood, love and friendship? Do we take care
of the needy and do we give opportunity to the underprivileged? These statistics have to do with greatness rather than
with bigness. The Torah tells us that Moses grew big, but
that he also grew great. His greatness made him a leader
and a prophet.
In our own community we speak of big people, great
philanthropists. What do we mean when we ascribe bigness
to people? We often discover that what we really mean is
that they own some big enterprise, or possess a large bank
How very
often do we get lost in pitiful rivalries as a result of the
ongoing struggle for the curse we call power?
How very
often we preach love towards an ideal

they wield power. We should describe people not in terms
of stature but in terms of greatness. It is this dimension that
is often missing in our thinking. A powerful person is not
he second book
who
account, or head some large industry or organization where
or institution but at the same time we
damage it with our shortsighted personal needs and self-centered ideas.
As long as we behave this way we will
experience no growth in our life.
In every area of life we must
understand the difference between the
first growth and the second. When
families are preparing for happy events, such as the
approaching marriage of their children, it is important to
distinguish between bigness and greatness. In making wedding plans people will say that they are having a big wedding. We must ask whether they mean a great wedding. Will
it be permeated with spiritual and moral qualities or will the
only calculation be made in terms of material things? Jewish
tradition reminds us that while we hope to succeed, our
ultimate goal is to be great. Young people begin life together hoping for economic and material success. But they must
remember that with only that level of success they will have
failed. True success comes when moral and spiritual values
are blended with material forms of success. That is why we
emphasize the custom of having young people take time
before their marriage to enter the sanctuary and to seek
God's blessing. They will then remember that in the midst
of physical preparations, which indeed are necessary for a
beautiful wedding, they must also prepare themselves for a
beautiful life. That beauty can be achieved only when,
underpinning all the physical arrangements, there are the
abiding values of love, unselfishness, devotion to charity
and concern for the rest of humanity.

A M e s s a g e From Sandy Mallin, TBS President.,
W
e have had an amazing month
at Temple Beth Sholom. Our
new buzz word has become,
"SOLD OUT!" The early Shabbat service,
the Gala Tribute honoring Oscar and
Carolyn Goodman, and the upcoming
Debbie Friedman Concert are all sell-
outs.
The spirit among our congregants is contagious. My sincerest thanks and deepest gratitude goes to our wonderful
members who have worked so hard on behalf of the
Temple. Arlene Blut, Marcy Saxe, Mona Silverman, Elaine
Steinberg, and their committees and David Chesnoff and
Tom Letizia who were responsible for helping to raise
$200,000 at our "Tribute."
A special thanks to the committee members: Marcia
Bergenfield, Shelley Carroll, Shirley Chaplin, Helen Edell,
Sandy's Wish List...
As the e n d of the year rapidly
approaches, many of us are hauling our
unneeded "stuff" to Goodwill. If you think that the
Temple office can utilize your "stuff" why not give
them a call! Obviously, w e want "good stuff!" for our
office!
Liz Goodman, Maria Letizia, Marci Murdock, Emily Novick,
Bridget Shuster, Lara Stone, Sandee Tiberti, Ellen
Underwood, and Barbara Kaplan. Board members Jerry
Blut, Steve Saxe, David Underwood and our special guy
Jerry Appenzeller.
I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the hard work
and support of our entire office staff, Louise Appenzeller,
Helene Rosen, Use Chohat, and Patrick Pittman.
Plan on attending an upcoming Shabbat service that will
honor the chairmen and their committee members. Watch
for details on this event.
Have you driven by Havenwood Lane recently? Our synagogue is awesome! Our future holds such promise; you,
the members of Temple Beth Sholom, are going to be part
of a new beginning!
I am looking forward to celebrating the New Year with
you at our Champagne Shabbat, 5:30 pm New Years Eve.
A Special Thank You
We would
like to a c k n o w l e d g e
those w h o
con-
tributed additional donations to make our "Tribute"
such a success.

If you are no longer carpooling and are "downsizing" consider donating your van to the Temple. Or if
you and several of your Temple friends would like to
pool your funds and purchase a van for the Temple's
use we would much appreciate the help. Remember,
not only will you b e doing a Mitzvah for the
Synagogue, you too can benefit by taking a tax writeoff for the items you donate. (April 15th is just
around the corner!)

Religious School Education U p d a t e
Inside The Golden Box
"know that Rabbi Goodman is known for
writing the most incredible sermons. I also
.know
that people do not want to read
l l
another sermon from the Religious School
Director; however, I feel that as an Educator the
best way to transmit a message is with a story.
T!
So, in my message this month I would like to go
beneath the surface and demonstrate to you
through a story what we are trying to teach our
children at Temple Beth Sholom.
In this parable a father punishes his daughter for wasting a
roll of gift wrapping paper. The family was very short of
money and this waste angered the father. The daughter
said, "Daddy this gift wrapped box is for you." The father
was ashamed of his reaction. He opened the box and once
again exploded with anger — the box was empty. "Don't
you know, that when you give someone a gift
there should be a present inside!" With tears in
her eyes, the little girl said to her father, "But
daddy, its not empty, its filled with kisses that I
blew in for you." The father felt terrible. He
embraced his young daughter and asked for her
forgiveness.
To this day the father keeps the golden box
beside his bed. When he feels sad, unwell or
lonely he reaches for the box and takes out one
of his daughers kisses to remind him of all the love that his
young daughter had blown into the box for him.
We would like our religious school to be like this golden
box — full of Judaism and friendship for one another.

Director

Special Men's Club Projects
This year, on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Day, May 2nd, we will be honoring the six million Jews who perished in the holocaust with a very special project. Dr. Gary Markowitz and his committee will be mailing out Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Day
Candles to all of the Temple Beth Sholom members. Please be generous in your donation — all funds will be used to further the educational programs of our Temple.
The Men's Club of Temple Beth Sholom is undertaking a very important project on behalf of our Temple. The goal is to
raise one million dollars to build and maintain a Mikveh at the new Temple. The funds will be raised in a very unique manner. Members of our Temple are invited to have the names of family and friends inscribed at the end of the Torah. It is said
that doing so will bring prosperity and longevity to those whose names are inscribed. There is a limited amount of space for
inscriptions; if you are interested in being a part of this very meaningful project please fill out the form below and return it
to the Temple Office as soon as possible.. The cost of inscribing each set of names is 55,000. If you would like to honor a
husband and wife — that would be one set of names; if you are honorning two separate individuals — the cost would be
$5,000 per name. Each year, after the names have been inscribed, you will be invited to a banquet to honor those who have
contributed to this most worthwhile project.

HERE COME THE JUDGES'. The TBS Religious School Staff had to deal
with scribbles and scrawls, but they managed to decipher everyone's
handwriting and keep the score!
Stuart Honig and Barbara Chozahinoff are
delighted to have found the "Smiling Giraffe!'
Did we win, did we win? That is the question on the minds of the Cohen Family,
with friend Alex Familian; the Benincasa Family. All surrounding )udge Maggie!

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE

WHAT
ARE THEY DOING?
They are building

game!

UP, UP AND AWAYI
A Big Congratulations goes to the adventurous
souls who went to the top of the Stratosphere, Ed
Kainen, losh, Neil Ostrow, Mrs. Barney, Al
D'Armas, Stuart Honig, Mitch Ogron, Melissa
Cohen, Rebecca Best, David Underwood and our
own lacob Raijman (he went up twice!!!).
What kind of plan is lacob and the Rabbi plotting with our USY Board
way up on the Stratosphere?
//
What's With The Funny Clothes?
These were definitely interesting challenges! Piling on the clothes
with the Krygier Family; while the Kanin Family comes dressed
Internationally;
latter - the Krygiers & Kar: MEN IN BLACK; the
Banchik Family with their "look-alike
costumed car"; the Saxe
Family & Car are showing their team spirit...The Barney Family
with our youngest team player are all "wrapped up"; the Ogron
Family papered themselves and their car...was there a run on
Charmin....?
AND THE RESULTS ARE IN
Jacob, you look too serious.... what
are you doing.... adding up the
points, uno, dos, tres,....
T
he winner of the Sega Dreamcast with 463 points was the Ed
Kainen Team. The Sony Playstation went to the Stuart Honig Team
who garnered 430 points. And with 409 points the Philip Barney
team went home with a walkman for each team member. At TBS everyone
is a winner, in this case, all the young participants received a special gift
chosen personally by our Education Director.
A big thank you goes to Rabbi Felipe Goodman for providing the
funds from his Discretionary Fund for the prizes; to Mitch Ogron who
assisted with the special arrangements at the Stratosphere; to Sam
Gewercer who helped Jacob Raijman put together the many, many questions; to Jerry Appenzeller for some very fine photography; and to Ron
Kirsh who graciously broadcast one of the clues on the radio.
T
his was truly an innovative Treasure Hunt.
Join us next year and
see what our "mad scientist
concocts". You too may find
yourself building a human
castle, in public, at the
Stratosphere, or singing
Tzur in Rap!

Notes & N e w s
Here's W h a t ' s
Happening....
Do You Know This Man?
MOMMY 'N ME.
Mommy 'N Me classes are held on Mondays, 10 am to
11 pm. Classes begin again January. 3- Our Mommy 'N
Me groups are still forming. If you have an infant or
baby up to 3 years old, call the office at 804-1333 to
sign up.
SHABBAT'N ME.
Shabbat 'N Me is held on Fridays, 9 am to 9:45 am.
This program begins again on January 7. Come and
celebrate Shabbat with your baby, infant to 3 years, in
a unique and fun way.
ISRAELI FOLK DANCING.
Get some exercise and have some fun. Join our Israeli
Folk Dancing classes on Tuesdays, 7 pm to 8:00 pm.
Classes resume on January 4. Join Jacob Raijman at the
Hebrew Academy Auditorium. A great way to "break
out" and have some fun.
F
or more than 30 years this man
has been shooting the young,
the old, the infamous and the
famous. Jerry Appenzeller: the man
behind the camera!
Trained by the Bacharach Studio in
New York he has pursued his photography career on both coasts. Jerry
obviously likes to shoot for profit;
however his heart tells him that shooting the non-profit organizations has special rewards. Jerry
has his nonprofit "pet projects". They include work for the
Nathan Adelson Hospice, the NCCJ (National Conference
for Community Justice), Jewish Family Services, the Jewish
Community Center, The Jewish Federation of Las Vegas, as
well as our very own Temple Beth Sholom.
The flip side of this very professional photographer is a
very funny guy. Last Purim he paraded around as "Oscar
the Grouch" and had quite a few young followers. If he
can make people laugh, Jerry is a happy man.
The only complaint from this man is his lack of free
time. Its been at least six months since he picked up a tennis racket — one of his favorite sports!
Believe it or not, all of the pictures in this issue of The
Bulletin can be credited to Jerry!
Your Temple Beth Sholom family salutes you for being
"the man behind the camera". We appreciate the fine work
you do to chronicle the comings and goings at our
Temple. Keep on shooting, Jerry!
Can You Spare Some Time?
The JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY needs volunteers to help the elderly. If you can spare some
time, please volunteer to: Be a Friendly Visitor, or Provide Transportation or Shopping Assistance, or Be
a Phone Friend and Provide Telephone Reassurance.
Call Lorraine Rubenstein, Volunteer Coordinator, at 732-0304 and share some time with others.

A Very Grand "Tribute" To Mayor Oscar and Carolyn Good
"TEIBUTE"
TEMPLE BETH SHOLOM
HONORS
Carolyn & Oscar Goodman
SUNDAY • DECEMBER 12 •
1999
FOUR SEASONS HOTEL
COCKTA.LS& SILENT AUCTION

FOLLOWED BY DINNER AND TRIBUTE
WITH VERY SPECIAL GUESTS
L
O
n December 12, 1999, the culmination of six months
of planning became a reality for a group of very
hardworking Temple and community members.
When the evening ended, over $200,000 had been raised
for Temple Beth Sholom!
This unprecedented success began in June under the
direction of Planning Committee members, Arlene Blut,
David Chesnoff, Tom Letizia, Sandy Mallin, Mona
Silverman, and Elaine Steinberg.
Many names were posed for the event's honorees However, when longtime Temple supporter, Oscar Goodman,
was elected Mayor of Las Vegas, the choice was unanimous.
Oscar and his wife Carolyn have supported the
community-at-large as well as Temple Beth Sholom in many
ways for over 34 years. They have both actively worked to
make Las Vegas one of the country's most desirable places
to live.
Once the honoree was chosen, the hard work began.
Many people, including Elaine Steinberg (Preferred Travel);
Sidney and Shirley Chaplin (Southern Wine and Spirits);
Mona Silverman, Marcy Saxe, Marci Murdock, and Marcia
Bergenfield used their considerable talents to get items and
trips donated for the live and silent auctions. A video was
BUCK TIE
KSVP BY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3
produced with messages from
"friends" eager to roast Oscar.
Tapes arrived from Los
Angeles, New York, and Las
Vegas with messages from
Wayne
Newton,
Mike
Wallace,
Don
Rickles,
Geraldo Rivera, Dick Cavett,
Senator Harry Reid and
Breck Wall who joined the
many "live" roasters that
evening. Some of the
"roasters" appearing at the event
were Senator Richard Bryan, Nancy Houssels, John L. Smith,
Henry Lewin and a host of comedians. Many thanks to Tom
Letizia and David Chesnoff for gathering this illustrious
panel. We asked the gala coordinator, Arlene Blut her reaction to the evening. "The crowd, the roast and the whole
evening was even more wonderful than I had imagined it
would be." For anyone who is contemplating producing
such a major event in the future, Arlene has some words of
advice, "Surround yourself with good people, be organized
and prioritize!"

THE PAST W E INHERIT, THE FUTURE W E CREATE....
I
n the months just passed you have heard several messages about our synagogue's future — our prospects for
a thriving membership and religious school in a facility which will continue to be a vibrant center of our congregational life. The time to make this beautiful vision a reality has arrived. The need to build the new synagogue
for the next generation — our most treasured legacy — is the key message behind our appeal to you as valued
members of our congregation. Please find a way to participate in the Capital Campaign. We need every member
of the synagogue to join us in partnership to achieve our campaign goal of $9 5 million.
We can proudly announce that our Campaign Committee has been hard at work. Pledges have now exceeded
$8 million. We also know that reaching the $9 5 million mark requires a major effort. We urge you to participate
in HINEINI. With your gift, we will help ensure the continuity of our congregation.

Announcing a Temporary Closing
Due to space considerations, it is with great sadness that we announce the temporary closing of the Etta Harnell Gift
Shop. Currendy we have been occupying space at Temple Beth Sholom's administrative office, situated behind the
Hebrew Academy. As a result of the Temple's growth, we are temporarily vacating this space for their use.
The Gift Shop opened 45 years ago when the Sisterhood of the Las Vegas Jewish Community saw the need for a
Judaica Gift Shop. It was the first store of its kind in Las Vegas. The shop began with one display case in the lobby of
the Las Vegas Jewish Community Center at 14th and Carson.
In the early 60's, when the Temple moved to East Oakey, we became Temple Beth Sholom. Years later the gift shop
was renamed the "Etta Harnell Gift Shop" in honor of the late Etta Harnell.
Through the years the shop has grown to meet the needs of the Jewish community. Forty-five years ago the Las Vegas
Jewish population was less than 1% of the town's total population!
During this temporary hiatus, please call the Temple office at 804-1333 if you need Tallit, Kippot, Mezuzahs, or
Sabbath candles.
We thank you for your patronage and support over the years. Look for our grand reopening in September 2000, at
the new Temple on Havenwood Lane and Town Center Drive. At that time our Gift Shop will be renamed the Priscilla
and Walter Schwartz Gift Shop!
