Herzl-Ner Tamid is our spiritual home.
The home of our congregational family and community.
Like our own family home, we must
take care of its physical structure.
We must insure that our values and priorities are
reflected within our Jewish home and, like in all
communities, each of us has a responsibility to do our part.
Only then are we whole.
www.RadmanPhotography.com
Only then do we stand united as one.
At the Legacy Brunch on February 28, we will inaugurate the Bob Zimmerman Community Leadership
Award. Our honorees and first recipients, Carol z”l and Bob Maslan, are doogmaim, role models,
individually and as a family, of what it means to a live a life guided by a commitment to the needs of
our HNT family, communal leadership and many good deeds and acts of loving kindness.
The award is named for our beloved Bob Zimmerman z”l, a mentor for learners of all ages and a
spiritual guide to many. He was someone who devoted endless time and energy towards creating
community and safeguarding our ritual gifts and building space, and who did it all with compassion
and grace.
Please join together in our spiritual home, with our congregational family and community, as we
honor Carol z”l and Rabbi Bob for the impact they have had throughout their careers and lives, as well
as the lasting legacy of our beloved Bob Z z”l.
Your generous donations go directly to maintaining our building and insuring that our educational and
thematic programs continue to thrive, grow and remain inclusive. In so doing, we help insure that the
work of these doogmaim continues for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

A MESSAGE FROM RABBI ROSENBAUM
Friendship and Light
In our Tradition, light always symbolizes
hope. And, hope is connected to
friendship. For example, when the light
of the new moon is first visible in the
night sky, it represents the possibility of
increasing happiness in the world. The
full moon represents the hope for the
ideal world, the coming of the Messiah.
So, anywhere between the third and fifteenth night of the lunar
cycle, we give thanks for the light of the moon in a ceremony
called Kiddush Levana, The Sanctification of the New Moon.
There are prayers and a moon dance (I’m not kidding). And,
the very last thing we do is seek out 3 people to offer wishes
of shalom aleichem/peace be with you, with a hearty shake
of the hand. When someone offers us the greeting, we reply:
Aleichem shalom. That’s because friendship among us is what is
going to bring about a Messianic world.
This connection between friendship and light occurs in at least
two more places in Jewish practice. The first is Purim. The
Megillah tells us that when Haman was defeated, la’yehudim
hayta ora v’simcha/the Jews had light and joy. How did we
celebrate our happiness? Esther and Mordecai established the
14th of Adar of every year as a day to read the Megillah, give
gifts to the poor, u’mishloach manot ish l’rei’eihu/send gifts
of food to our friends. Jewish law later concretized this as a
minimal obligation for each of us to send a food gift with at
least two types of food to at least two friends. This mitzvah is
called mishloach manot or shalach manot.
A third connection between friendship and light occurs
every week in havdalah. There is a modern custom of having
everyone in the room link arms in friendship as havdalah begins
and we sing Eliyahu Hanavi, dreaming of a better world. We
turn off all the lights. The darkness represents the world before
Creation. And, the havdalah candle represents our ability to
co-create a new world with God, and to overcome whatever
darkness we might find in the world in the week ahead.
Then, there is a Purim moment. We say: la’yehudim hayta
ora v’simcha, sasson v’yikar, ken tihiyeh lanu/the Jews (who
defeated Haman) had light and joy, gladness and honor; so
may it be for us! For a brief moment at the beginning of every
week, we relive the moment that the Jewish people went from
darkness to light. And, we assure ourselves that if Mordecai and
Esther could overcome the deepest darkness, so can we.
At HNT this year, we are going to combine all three of these
moments. Each of us is going to have the opportunity to give
shalach manot to our friends as a way to express our affection
and in a way that also helps our synagogue. Inside each shalach
manot package we are preparing will be sweetness and light—
delicious chocolate; Shabbat candles; and a havdalah candle so
we can experience the light and joy of Purim all year round.
4
Every gift of shalach manot will increase friendship in our
congregation. And, each time we light our havdalah candle, it
can remind us of the friends who thought of us and the friends
we honored.
With a simple act of giving this year, we can spread good will
and light throughout our community. We will make HNT’s
signature event, Purim, a part of our weekly lives. We will raise
awareness about havdalah, one of the most beautiful practices
of our Tradition.
And, if we want to dance to the moon—so much the better.

ANNUAL BLOOD DRIVE
Sunday, March 13 • 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Appointments are preferred and time slots (every 15 minutes) are filling up!
The Annual Blood Drive honors the memory of Ellen Yusim z”l, a teenager and congregant whose family’s
resettlement from the former Soviet Union was sponsored by our synagogue. Ellen succumbed to
leukemia at age 16 and it was her final request to have an annual blood drive to help others in need of
transfusions.
She understood how her very life depended on donors and wished that gift to be carried forward in her
name. It also honors the memory of our other loved ones whose lives have been impacted by bloodrelated diseases, as well as those among us who depend on a steady supply of blood.
Every day it takes more than 800 donors to meet the transfusion needs of Western Washington. Many of our congregants
have been the fortunate recipients of the gift of blood. A healthy blood supply relies on the diligence of the public to donate.
It is easy to perform this mitzvah: register at h-nt.org/save-a-life.

Skolnick Board Room
Topic: the Syria War and Middle East Dynamics
This session will take a “broader view” of the latest
developments and trends in the Middle East. Who is fighting
whom in Syria’s civil war, and why? How is the situation in Syria
related to the larger forces roiling (and re-shaping) the Middle
East? What is driving American foreign policy in the region,
and what are its challenges? Who are the refugees streaming
out of the Middle East and into Europe, and what are the
humanitarian, political, and security implications of this largescale population shift? And what does this all mean for Israel,
amid the regional mayhem?

A MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, ED. D. CANDIDATE, ELIYAHU KRIGEL
Dvar Torah
for the layman and practitioner. Ecstatic Kabbalah includes
a CD with guided meditations based on the teachings of
"Reading the Hebrew Bible in translation
Rabbi Abulafia. More information about Jewish meditation
is like kissing your new bride through a
from a contemporary perspective can be found at www.
veil."
rabbidavidcooper.com.
-Haim Nachman Bialik
Along with silent sitting and walking meditation solely
The Jewish tradition is linked together
by a chain of Hebrew letters and
numbers. The charge of Haim Nahman Bialik (1873-1934)
above to lift the veil and look deep within the Hebrew Bible
represents an authentic, spiritual approach to studying the
Hebrew language. Bialik was a great Jewish poet who wrote
his timeless poetry in Yiddish and in Hebrew. Along with
Rabbi Ben Yehudah, Bialik’s use of the Hebrew significantly
influenced the revival of the Hebrew language in the modern
State of Israel.
One important way to experience Hebrew is to use the
Hebrew language as an anchor in your contemplative
practice. Rabbi Abraham ben Samuel Abulafia (1240-1292)
was a Jewish mystic and Kabbalist who was born in Zaragoa,
Spain. He created a system of Jewish meditation based on
contemplating the Hebrew language by focusing on each
Hebrew letter, which is one form of Jewish meditation
utilized in our Jewish meditation sessions on Shabbat at
HNT. Rabbi Abulafia conjectured spiritual euphoria can
be achieved through careful permutations of the Hebrew
letters. According to Hoffman, Rabbi Abulafia taught that
studying and meditating on the Hebrew letters allows, "The
soul [the ability] to actualize its potential with much greater
ease. Look at these holy letters with truth and belief," Rabbi
Abulafia encouraged, "[Studying Hebrew] will awaken the
heart to thoughts of godly and prophetic images." Through
a series of letter permutations and body exercises of head
movements and controlled breathing, Rabbi Abulafia was
able to reach great spiritual places.
Rabbi Abulafia stressed the importance of, "Knowing God
through the method of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew
alphabet by cleansing your body.” In order to fully realize the
potential and strength of the Hebrew letters, Rabbi Abulafia
gave his disciples the direction of, "Combining letters, a few
or many, reversing and rolling them around rapidly, until
[one's] heart feels warm." Rabbi Abulafia’s practice was
focused on enabling practitioners to gain, "A plenitude of
saintly spirit ... wisdom, under-standing, good counsel and
knowledge.... The spirit of God will rest upon [them]." Picking
up where Rabbi Abulafia left off, Rabbi David Cooper in God
is a Verb and especially in Ecstatic Kabbalah in modern times
has opened up the metaphorical doors of Jewish mediation

Mishloach Manot—Sending food gifts to friends and family—is one of the four Mitzvot performed
on Purim. It is a heartfelt way to emphasize the Jewish unity that lies at the core of the Purim
holiday... and to create meaningful connections within our own community at the same time.
Through this project, you can participate in the sending of a gift package to your friends and family.
It's a Mitzvah, it's great fun and with HNT it's easier than ever!
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
For just $5.00 per recipient, you can participate in the sending of a gift package to anyone on our
membership list. Every family on the list who is checked by at least one person will receive one
gift package, along with a Purim scroll that lists all the people who participated in sending their
package. For every 20 names you check on the list, you will receive a $10 discount!
For example, if you are sent a Mishloach Manot package from more than one individual, you will
still only receive one package; all those people sending you the Mishloach Manot will be listed on
the card. You can easily place your orders at www.hnt.HappyPurim.com.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Check the flyer in your mail the first week of February for instructions AND for your personalized
code for accessing the website. Go to the website, enter your code, and place your order!
-- ALL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY MONDAY, MARCH 7, 6:00 PM -Should you have any questions or would like a paper order form,

THIRD SPACE FOR 20S AND 30S
Torah on Tap: Birds, Bees, Roe v.
Wade, and Planned Parenthood
feat. Rabbi Jason Levine!
Wednesday, February 3 • 7:30 PM
Location: HNT Youth Lounge
When Rabbi Jason Levine last taught Torah on Tap, we
discussed death. Now, we reverse it and discuss birth – the
birds and the bees, our bathing suit parts, and, joking aside,
the complex and taboo issues at the beginning of life.
To call the current discussion about abortion, family
planning, and stem cell research vitriolic is certainly an
understatement. These issues have polarized our country,
and even led to deaths in Colorado Springs. So let’s take a
step back, take a deep breath, and learn about the Jewish
legal categories and permissibility of abortion, stem cells,
and the right to life or choice. In what cases does Judaism
permit abortion? Can we use stem cells for research? When
does life begin exactly? Life is a miracle, so let’s learn about
it, and celebrate it together.
All young adults in their 20s and 30s are welcome to join
us as we look at sources, both ancient and contemporary
in a friendly, relaxed third space. Torah on Tap events are
co-sponsored by TDHS - The Tribe and are held at a different
12
location each month. We keep this event free and collaborative
by contributing a dessert, snack, or drink!
As you can imagine, this event only works with intimate
numbers, and the max we can accommodate is 20 people. RSVP
to [email protected] or on facebook through Third Space at HNT!
