Next time, I hope you'lljoin us. Sandford R. Kopnick Have a great month--see you at Purim and after- A TRIP TO REMEMBER•••. So many wonder why take a congregational trip-when the Federation and so many other wonderful organizations have such expertise at arranging these excursions? For the 13 of us who traveled to Israel together this past month, it was two weeks of exploration, bonding, soul-searching, learning, laughing, and sharing in a way that will benefit our congregation for a long time to come. Our master tour-guide, Roger Dahm succeeded in bringing the trip alive to our mighty band of pilgrims. In addition, people that might not have ever had occasion to get to know one another are now life-long friends. It certainly will warm up Friday nights and other Temple functions. But the moments of awe are.still reserved for the sights and sounds ofIsrael. The first Friday in Israel, we arrived to Jerusalem and a beautiful overlook at the Haas Promenade. There, we took in the view and for the first time, many of us really understood what it meant when we say at Pesach, ''Next Year in Jerusalem." Some of us were in awe of the end-to-end rainbow we saw in Haifa a few days earlier. Standing at the Bahai Gardens at the top of the mountain, we cast our eyes down toward the port, to see the rainbow reflecting from the Medeterranian. We could be inspired by the beautiful service at Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem, where 7 cantorial students joined our own Emily Walsh (who read Torah as an HUC education student) with her doting mother (our own Wendy) offering the blessing. There was the moment at Petra when I thought I might be late to our Jordanian guide, so I hired a camel to get me back to the group faster. Or the tremendous amount of rain we endured (while all ofthe Israelis felt their prayers had been answered-for rain is like liquid gold in Israel). Our trip is filled with memories of shopping, learning, eating, talking, laughing, and reconnecting with our Judaism. The Federation trips are spectacular, too-but in a different way. A congregational trip gives us a chance to connect significantly, and build our Rabbi Sandford R. Kopnick P.S. For all of you who helped us say thank you to Wendy by contributing to her trip, you did a real mitzvahand I am proud that we all could say thank you in such a profound way. VALLEY TEMPLE PILGRIMS RETURN FROM ISRAEL Twelve members of the Valley Temple and Rabbi Sandford R. Kopnick returned Sunday, February 11,2007 from a two week trip to Israel. Geared for first time travelers, the trip began in the North, continued in Jerusalem, crossed the boarder to view Petra, and returned to Jerusalem. Rain followed the group throughout the experience. The group arrived in Tel Aviv while hearing of a terrorist attack in Eilat. The staged demonstration on the Temple Mount was held hOUTS before the group attended Kabbalat Shabbat at the Western Wall in the Old City in JerusalemonFebruary9,2007. Wendy Walsh, the Valley Temple Administrator for twenty five years attended the trip as a gift from the congregation. "Mrs. Walsh has been a pillar of the Temple for all of these years, it was a wonderful way to say thank you," said Rabbi Kopnick. Participating in the trip were (pictured bottom left to right) Alan Schwartz, Rita Clark. Wendy Walsh. Jean Amber, and John Amber. (Second Row) Phyllis Bossin, Judy Gehr, David Feldstein, Sharon Feldstein, Rabbi Sandford Kopnick, (Back Row) Susan HofTheimer, Jon Hoflheimer, and Peggy Barrett.

Call Wendy at the Temple office to say that you will host one. A special thanks to the following who recently hosted Oneg Shabbats: Wyoming Artist and Valley Temple Member Nancy TIlman has painted a mural outside Valley Temple's Solomon Greenberg Sanctuary. The painting depicts Jerusalem and a large tree with holiday and life-cycle symbols inset. The mural is surrounded by the words, "it is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it, and all of its supporters are happy." Illman has been a member of Valley for a few years now, and found the stark wall to be in need of color and form. "Her beautiful work is a wonderful addition to our space, and helps set the tone when entering and leaving our sanctuary," Rabbi Sandford Kopnick said. Nancy Illman has painted murals at Yavneh Day School, in other public venues and in private homes. She is the mother of three boys and is a professional artist. Illman's mural is a part of the beautification of the Valley Temple as it approaches its 50th anniversary in May.

Save The Date! WOMEN OF REFORM JUDAISM Stronger Together Dear Sisterhood, This past month has beenjam-packed with events - all intended to help us grow a little closer, create a deeper sense of community, and give us memories of friendship and laughter to sustain us during the coldest fmal hours of winter. One of the best moments for me this month happened during our Sisterhood meeting, when we passed the Tzeddakah box around the room, which really should be called the speaking box - and I listened as one by one, each person took the box, and spoke of what they were grateful for. What a wonderful reminder - it's just so easy to forget to be grateful. So easy to let minor and not so minor - annoyances blind us to all that we have been blessed with - and blind us to those who stand right next to us offering us comfort if we only reach out. So in that spirit, let me please recognize all the Hamantashen bakers, young anq old, all those who organized, and those who allowed themselves to be organized. A thousand thanks to our tireless cookbook committee, who allowed us not only to mark where we have been in the last fifty years, but also provided a guide for where we will go. And to all, who by your presence gave us the opportunity to gather and discuss (and sometimes argue), mess up a kitchen like no other, share our sorrows and our joys - Thank you. MARK YOUR CALENDARS! March 11th - Sisterhood meeting 10:00 April 15th - Sisterhood meeting 9:45-11 :30 (Yom Hashoah-Holocaust Remembrance assembly - 11 :30) May 20th - Sisterhood meeting 9:45-11 :30; RS closing day assembly 11 :30 Picnic at 12:00 Shalom, Michele Michele Alessandrini President, Women of Reform Judaism Women of Torah: Neshot Torah, the 46th Assembly of the Women of Reform Judaism, will take place December 12-16, 2007 in San Diego, CA.

If you would like to be a delegate to the WRJ Assembly, please contact Michele Alessandrini or Alison Weikel to receive registration information. THE BREAST CANCER STAMP There's a good reason why Valley Temple Sisterhood uses the Breast Cancer Awareness stamp for first class mailings. Since 1988, The Women of Reform Judaism has been involved with breast cancer education, especially among women under 50 years of age. WRJ prints a "Shower Card" which gives easy to follow self-examination procedures for early breast cancer detection. (The card is also printed in Spanish and is made available to other women's organizations in cities with large Hispanic populations.) If you would like to have a complimentary shower card for yourself or someone you love, please contact Jenny Broh at [email protected],or891-5153. Our use of the Breast Cancer Awareness stamp is just one more way Valley Sisterhood supports The Women of Reform Judaism in the fight against breast cancer. You can help as well; when you purchase this stamp, 6 cents is donated by the USPS to support breast cancer research. It's an easy way to make a difference.

Our kids walk in with smiles on their faceshappy to be coming to Temple and Sunday school. Adults walk in smiling too-whether they're coming to teach or sub, to attend a Family Ed session, to assist in a classroom, to take part in all-school assembly, come to a Sisterhood or Men's Club Meeting, or to have a cup of coffee, read a book in our library, and catch up with friends. All of this is what goes on in a typical school morning. I invite you to "drop-in" one Sunday-I'll fmd something meaningful for you to do inside or outside a classroom! It's one of the best ways I know to connect to God, to Judaism, and to our Temple. It's hard for me to believe that we're in the middle of my fourth year as Director of Education. During these years, it has been my pleasure to watch our school "without walls" (!) embrace creative teaching that is not bound to textbooks, and is limited only by the creativity of the teachers, the rabbis, and me. My position here was re-created four years ago with the assistance of a grant from the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati's S.E.E.D. program (Synagogue Education in Excellence Directive). Without the funding provided by S.E.E.D., I would be far more limited in the time and support my position could provide our schooL It is these funds that help us to create our dynamic religious school! I come to work every day excited to be a part of all of this! One of the most rewarding things I get to do is search for teaching materials. Here are two web sites that I enjoy: Torah Tots" (http://www.torahtots.com) is a brightly colored web site that will catch your child's eye right away. Included here are links to holidays, "parasha on parade (a unique way to learn about the weekly Torah portion)," and coloring pages. There is a new feature called, "This month in Jewish History." I bet you'll have to pull your child away from the computer! Society Today, Spirituality, Family, and Jewish Literacy. There is even a Western Wall "cam" that al10ws you to view the wall in real time. You and your family can participate in the centuries-old tradition of writing a note for the Western Wall (it will be printed in the old city of Jerusalem, and delivered by a student of Aish Ha Torah). If you scroll down to the bottom of the home page, you'll fmd "family parasha." You can read the weekly portion with your family, and then delve into the story that accompanies it. These stories are written about modem kids with modem-day dilemmas. It will provide the background for thought-provoking discussions around the dinner table! We're doing a lot right at The Valley Temple. Thank you S.E.E.D and The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati for your help and partnership! B'Shalom, E-~ S.E.E.D.
