MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear members:
Interestingly, the Jewish New
Year holidays, the first of the
5770 decade, has come and
passed; and the Gregorian
year 2009, the last year of
first decade of the twenty first
century that guides our daily
lives, is coming to an end in 62 days, at the time of
this writing. According to the table of numbers of the
Cuban Chinese parallel lotto system “La Charada,”
well known to Cuban Jews, the number 62 means
“matrimonio” or marriage.
It is obvious that the end of this decade has been
probably the worst that we have lived since we
arrived from Cuba in the 1960s; and for Americans,
the worst since 1929. These very difficult years have
brought more personal and financial pains that we
ever want to remember. For many, this period has
lasted longer than the seven bad years written in the
Torah in Genesis: 41, (Parashat Miketz) if we start
counting since March 2000, when the stock market
started its first decline of this century.
Consequently it is important that, as we enter this
new decade in both calendars, that we all “marry” into
an attitude of positive thinking, as it is said in
Spanish, “a mal tiempo, buena cara”, or in Hebrew,
“Yiie Tov”. According to a recent Federal Reserve
Bank study, the recession is over, although
employment is still lagging. It is said that before we
can change our lives, we need to change the way we
think. Recent psychological studies also show that
constant negative thinking is detrimental to the mental
and physical health of the individual thinking
negatively and those with whom he/she associates.
The current term for negativity is called “toxic.” It is as
unhealthy as influenza, first or second hand smoking,
or uncontrollable drinking. The term is also applied in
finance to uncollectible loans and investments, which
are referred to as “toxic assets” which banks,
companies and individuals carry in their portfolios
today. It is even recommended that we review our
friendships and even separate from “toxic” friends in
our lives. Undoubtedly, we need to change the way
we think. Each one of us is the average of the five
persons with whom we associate. Therefore, we have
to come to the realization that none of us can afford
to have “toxic friends”. We all have a genius inside of
us. Some get to “discover it” during their lives,
others die without ever finding it simply because of
negative thinking.
With regards to our Congregation, for the last several
years, there have been a very small number of
members or past members making negative
comments about our future. Yet, we are still here and
the last High Holiday or Yamim Noraim services were
incredibly spiritually joyous. Just about everyone that
attended stated how beautiful and inspiring they
were, even when we had a “new” Rabbi and Hazzan.
Rabbi Richard Chizever, Cantor Stephen Texon, and
Baal Korah Jacques Malka excelled with their
Page 3
chanting, sermons and readings, that remain
memorable. What was most remarkable was the high
level of coordination, cooperation, professionalism
and harmony among the three of them that was felt
by everyone coming up to the bimah or listening from
their respective sanctuary chairs.
Also, we are fortunate to have individuals on the
Board of Directors and members who are
positive thinkers and forward looking. Thanks to
the efforts and dedication of Berta Edery,
Sylvia Gurinsky, Albert Asis and Avi Ashkenazi, we
have leapfrogged to the 21th century in
communication with our members and the outside
world. You can find us now on the web (internet) at
www.cubanhebrew.com. Albert Asis donated the
significant number of hours that it took him personally
to design the site, and Berta and Sylvia have
voluntarily invested uncountable hours in reading,
reviewing, writing, translating and selecting historical
and current content which will continue to
expand. Avi Ashkenazi, as web-master, put it
all together. The mission is to provide a very
current, informative and historical site that members
and prospective members and their families, (whether
young or old) rabbis, and other members of the
clergy, historians, academicians, and anyone else
interested in our faith, our activities and
accomplishments can quickly refer to it.
Any organization, in order to survive and thrive must
refresh its leadership. Therefore, we must transfer
“our torch” “Le Dor va Dor”, from generation to
generation. The time has come for the younger ones
to start actively participating, whether in person, or
through the web. In contrast to any other
Congregation, which is primarily strong in a
neighborhood, we are a community that is proud of its
Jewish and Cuban roots while living as part of “main
street America”, because as Cuban Jews, we live not
only in Miami, but also in many cities throughout the
United States and other countries, including Israel.
The reason for the above paragraph is, that
according to our By-Laws, the term of office of the
current Board of Directors, and my tenure as
President, will end on December 31, 2009 at
midnight. As you know, this was the second time
since 1992 that you have entrusted to me since
October 2007 the responsibilities of this Community,
and I thank you for the confidence bestowed in me.
This Board has made progress. I wish the new
President and Board the best in carrying on our
mission. As Immediate Past President, I will continue
as a member of the Board and Executive Committee.
You have all received in the mail a letter for
nomination to the 2010 Board of Directors. Please
contact Michael Glinsky, CPA, Chairman of the
Nominating Committee. Be a positive thinker, be
proactive, and join the Board. Approach a younger
member to carry “our flag, our banner, our torch”. We
should all be proud of the Cuban Jewish Community.
We are “hot.” We are constantly being written about
or being researched, even after 50 years of being in
America. Interestingly, the Jewish Museum of Florida
Page 4
in South Beach has plans to have an exhibit on the
Cuban Jews in the spring of 2010. Moreover, become
a co-producer of the first historical video of our
Community since our arrival in 1960.
The Board of directors wants to take this
opportunity to thank Lucia Kelton for the 25 years
of dedicated service to the Congregation, and to
Becky Kobrowski-Cohen, Tere Ben-Hain and
Josephine Rubin for their volunteer dedication to the
administrative and financial duties in the office so that
the Congregation can continue its mission.
Our vision for 2010 and beyond should be to increase
all our activities, and especially for our successful
Montessori School to continue expanding, and for
these children to obtain their Jewish education in
higher grades in our premises. And when they reach
Bar-Bat Mitzvah age, they can celebrate their Simcha
in one of the most famous places on earth today,
South Beach, the area many Israeli soldiers dream of
visiting when they finish their military service. Let’s be
visionary and marry into the positive thinking of the
Torah and the Magic of Thinking Big, a 1959
best-seller book which is still available, authored by
the late Dr. David J. Schwartz, who was my Professor
of Marketing at Georgia State University, Atlanta,
Georgia. Or more recently, Stephen R. Covey’s 1989
best seller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People- Powerful Lessons in Personal Change.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Council of
Presidents, our best wishes for a great 5770 / 2010
decade filled with health, joy, nachas and parnose
(parnasa).
Shalom U Bracha, Chazak V Eematz.
Afectos y Abrazos,
Kindest personal regards,
Marcos A. Kerbel
President

Message from our visiting Rabbi
When I told my colleagues and
friends that I would be the rabbi at
The Cuban Hebrew Congregation
for the high holidays, I was
immediately asked the question,
“Do you have to give the sermon in
Spanish? Obviously, the answer I
s no. But the warm hospitality I
received was very “Cuban.” So my
daughter Sophia, who made the sanctuary and bimah
like her home, as well as me thank you for your warm
reception.
There is that famous Jewish saying: Jews say
goodbye, but never leave. Though the
High Holydays are over, I have yet to leave
Beth Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation. I am
still conducting services on Shabbat, my daughter is
still running up and down the synagogue aisle, and
additionally, I am providing a rabbinic presence to the
school children at the synagogue’s Montessori
school. So far, we have had three great programs two Friday morning Tot Shabbats and a Kabbalat
Shabbat family service/Pizza in the Hut for Sukkot.
There are many more exciting programs planned for
the future for both the synagogue and school, so
please be sure to attend in order to make them a
success!
As Chanukah is just around the corner, I would like to
convey this thought: Our Chanukkiot (remember, a
Menorah has seven branches, a Chanukkiah has
eight plus one for the shamesh) have been taken out
of the closet, the candles have been bought, and
presents have been purchased.
When we light our Chanukkiah, we follow the
teaching of the great rabbinic sage Hillel - we light the
number of candles that correspond to that day of
Chanukah. So, on the first day we light one candle,
and on the eighth day we light eight candles.
Now Hillel’s counterpart is Shammai. And Shammai
taught that we light the Chanukkiah the exact
opposite way – we start with eight candles, and each
day we take one away. This “diminishing” effect is
analogous to the diminishing amount of oil.
Why do we follow the teaching of Hillel, over that of
Shammai’s?
The reason is simple. As the Talmud teaches, we go
up in holiness not down. And each day of Chanukah
brought with it a bigger miracle - that the oil lasted yet
another day.
We still are surrounded by miracles, but many of
them go unnoticed. Nature, the birth process, a
beautiful sunrise, a romantic sunset, the love between
parents and children & husband and wife – these are
but some of the many miracles we wake up to each
and every morning.
May this holiday season for you and your family be
full of health, happiness, and many miracles!
B’Shalom
Rabbi Richard S. Chizever

MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Message from the School Committee
We have had a wonderful start in our 2009-2010 school year. So far we have had an exciting new year
filled with new activities, new materials, new families and many new friends.
We have many wonderful teachers and staff, including our extra-curricular activities’ teachers, such as
our dance teacher Miss Corin, our music teacher Mr. Danny, our art teacher Miss Fabiana, and our
Karate teacher Master Sam.
We have a very strong and active PTA this year. They have been working very hard on our first Mitzvah
project. We are collecting baby items for Shari Daniels, a very well known and dedicated midwife.
She is currently helping women deliver babies in Somalia and they are in great need of supplies.
On November 17th, our PTA held a holiday Bazaar where goods such as jewelry, children’s items,
stationery, cosmetics, and much more was sold from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the temple’s cocktail room
and 20% of all vendor’s proceeds was given back to the school. It was very well attendant.

WOMEN’S LEAGUE
Message from the Women’s League
We take pride in our work every year as we get
ready for the High Holidays. We are in charge
of having the Torah Covers and Mantelpieces
cleaned and ready to be changed to “All White”
before the High Holidays Services. We also
make sure that we have apples to be distributed
after the Rosh Hashana Services and sponge
cake with apple juices after the Yom Kippur Services. We organized a Break-The-Fast Dinner
right after Havdallah services during Yom Kippur
Day which was enjoyed by a number of our
congregants. During the month of October, we
followed with a Dinner Under the Sukkah offered
to the members and congregants sponsored by
our group. It was a very enjoyable evening
having services first in our main sanctuary and
then sitting outdoors and enjoying each other’s
company. Rabbi Chizever, Rabbi Malka and
Cantor Texon made the evening very religiously
fulfilling.

SOCIAL EVENTS
SLEEPLESS NIGHT
On November 7th, the Cuban Hebrew Congregation was proud to participate in the yearly Cultural event
of the City of Miami Beach, called “Sleepless Night”, held on multiple venues throughout the City from
South Beach to the North end of Miami Beach.
We had our Temple Open House from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and were happy to receive over
200 visitors eager to see our facilities and the video about the History of the Cuban Jews and their
journey from Eastern Europe, Turkey and Spain to Cuba and then to the United States.
The video, which was developed by our president Marcos Kerbel and Rabbi Abramowitz’ daughter Rina,
held our guests enthralled from start to finish and clarified many misconceptions they had about the
Cuban Jews and about our Temple.
Our visitors, young and old came from different areas of South Miami, North Miami and Miami Beach as
well as from other states like New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina and New York.
After each showing of the video, our hosts answered questions and gave our visitors a tour of the
Sanctuary and the Olemberg Ballroom and some of their comments were:
“Amazing sanctuary”, “Beautiful Ballroom, “Beyond our expectations”. They were also surprised to
know that our religious services and books were in English. Several expressed interest in coming to
our services.
My wife Anita and I want to thank the volunteers that helped us throughout the night: Nancy Brook,
Polita and Mario Chyzyk, Ina and Bruce Melceras, Mara Torres, Miriam and Carlos Waserstein.
In all, it was a very successful event and great exposure for the Cuban Hebrew Congregation.

Event Chairman
Special Shabbat in honor of Rabbi Abramowitz
On July 25th, 2009, we held a Special Shabbat in honor of our
Rabbi Abramowitz and his wife Rachel. He had decided to “finally” retire and
spend time with his family. We had several speakers from the congregation
talk about his rabbinical time with us at the Cuban Hebrew Congregation and
how we all felt sad about his leaving.
We honored him with a lovely Birkat Habait Art piece by Reuven Masel, an
Israeli artist, that will be displayed at his home. He knows he will be always
be welcome at our synagogue.
A special Kiddush luncheon followed our services sponsored by the
Women’s League.
TO ALL OUR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS:
We would like again to stress the importance of having a daily minyan.
Your attendance is vital in order to provide our congregants with the opportunity to honor
the memory of family and friends.
Thank you for your cooperation

MIDDLE EAST
Page 10
The weak Western strategy in Middle East
While continuing to insist that
the creation of a Palestinian
state will bring security to the
region, the events of recent
weeks do not think that is going
to be easy to achieve calm and
stability with the sole creation of
such a state. At present, the
West continues at an impasse,
implement policies that will
not solve the problem of the
Arab-Israeli conflict, but which
are advertised as the path to
victory for the West on Islamic
fundamentalism in the war on
terror. In fact, the Arab-Israeli
conflict itself - the central point
and often single USA policy
toward the Middle East or
Western - is articulated in the
global confrontation against
terrorism embodied by Ben
Laden and those who financed
with millions still Europe Euros
from the European Union.
The trends of today's world,
globalization, tec hnolog y,
secularism and basically the
universal desire of human
beings to live in freedom and
participate in public affairs are
not likely to be defeated by
Islamic fundamentalists who
yearn to restore traditions of the
century VII. Fundamentalism,
regardless of what is heard in
the Arab street or in the
Western press addicted to it, is
rejected by moderate Muslims
and will not be able to take hold
in this enlightened era in which
all religions are in retreat versus
progress of science and
technology. The caveat is that
Islamic fundamentalism was
imposed by force. The serious
threat posed by Islamic
fundamentalism is not so much
the attractiveness of its
ideology, but the potential
eventually to destructive means
to try to impose worldwide.
The story is foolproof, since
time
immemorial,
all
international and regional
conflicts
have
had
repercussions in the Middle
East. Noting the region's history
from 1870 to today, are clearly
identifiable recurring cycles
and the like. For complex
reasons having to do with
religion-government relationship
and their political, social and
historical, the history of the area
is characterized by alternating
between periods of calm and
instability and deep decline,
closely linked and parallel to the
alternation of power game that
seems to define the tone and
reflect the conflict between the
two fronts of all time: West and
East.
Therefore, the so-called battle
"to win the hearts and minds" of
Muslims worldwide who want
some in the West is waging a
futile battle, because the
average person, including the
vast majority of Muslims do not
want live under the advice of
Islamic fundamentalism and its
oligarchs. We all know, and it is
common sense that if human
beings are given a choice,
never chooses any kind of
oppression.
The real battle at the global
level is, unfortunately, mostly
military, active and preventive,
rather than ideological or
economic.
In other words, while the Islamic
fundamentalists were neutralize
the ability to attack and
conducting large-scale
massacres such as those of
Sept. 11, Atocha, London, Bali
or other so there is little to fear
the future. The fundamentalist
cause is lost by definition.
Therefore, without downplaying
the issue, and although in the
by George Chaya
short term could still cause
much damage, long-term
turbulence is not eternal, only
t em p or a r y, c yc l i c a l a n d
d em ons tr a t e d t hr ou g h out
history. Provided that the
conditions that historically have
been met, which are not exactly
sitting down to await the
passing turbulence or giving
speeches while politically
correct European capitals wake
every morning with a new
jihad´s cell off, at best, cases.

La muerte de un profeta
El 2 de agosto de 1940, moría
sin poder ver realizado su
sueño, Zeev Jabotinsky. Al
cumplirse 69 años de su
m u e r t e, e l c a s i m í t i c o
Presidente de Israel Shimon
Peres se refería a este
acontecimiento frente a su
tumba en el Monte Herzl. “Es
probable que los grandes
líderes estén destinados a
cometer grandes errores”,
decía el interminable Peres,
refiriéndose a que Jabotinsky
no acertó respecto a los límites
geográficos que tendría el
futuro Estado. Es indudable que
en cuanto a “ambas márgenes
del Jordan” como límites del
territorio soberano de Israel,
Jabotinsky se equivocó. Pero
fue una picardía del Presidente,
que atribuyo a reminiscencias
de su socialista y lejana
juventud, resaltar ese aspecto,
pues es uno de los muy
pocos conceptos en los que
Jabotinsky no predijo con
exactitud el futuro.
En todos los demás, la visión
de Jabotinsky fue de una
clarividencia tal, que para
muchos (entre los cuales me
incluyo) estamos ante la
presencia de un verdadero
profeta moderno. Si bien su
figura está rodeada de
prejuicios, éstos no se basan
en el conocimiento real de su
pensamiento político, sino en
los eslóganes que utilizaban
sus detractores.
Siempre estuvo convencido de
que un Estado judío era una
necesidad histórica que habría
de llegar. Por ello propuso en
1931 que el 17º Congreso
Sionista definiera que su
objetivo era el establecimiento
de un Estado judío a ambas
márgenes del Jordán. Pero los
delegados que se negaron a
hacerlo, no lo hicieron por una
discrepancia geográfica, sino
por el Dr. Gerardo Stuczynski
por una diferencia conceptual,
pues apenas se animaban a
hablar tímidamente de un
Hogar Nacional Judío. Demás
está decir, que a Jabotinsky
le asistió la razón en cuanto
a la necesidad de la existencia
de un Estado, mientras
otros líderes sionistas se
conformaban con mucho
menos que eso.
Entendía que el idioma hebreo
era un elemento central en la
construcción de la nación.
Muchos habían abogado por el
uso de otros idiomas. Predijo
explícitamente la Shoá. Llamó a
terminar con la diáspora antes
que la diáspora terminara con
los judíos. Emitía sus mensajes
en un tono de urgencia que no
era compartido por los demás
líderes sionistas. Acaecido el
Holocausto no hace falta
ahondar sobre quién tenía
razón.
Al estallar la Primera Guerra
Mundial propuso la creación de
una legión judía que apoyara a
los aliados en la liberación de
Palestina de manos de los
otomanos, para luego ganar el
derecho a exigir la creación de
un Estado judío independiente.
En cambio, el liderazgo sionista
oficial apoyaba la neutralidad.
El propio Ben Gurión se opuso
a la creación del “Cuerpo
de Muleteros de Sión”. Sin
embargo con la Declaración
Balfour, cambió su posición al
punto de integrarse él mismo
como soldado a dicha brigada.
No parece haberse equivocado
tampoco, cuando exigió a las
autoridades sionistas modificar
sus moderadas políticas
respecto a la imposición de
restricciones a la inmigración
judía a Palestina (Libro Blanco)
por parte del Mandato Británico,
liderando algunos de los
primeros intentos por rescatar
judíos en forma clandestina.
Pero
más
allá
de
acontecimientos históricos
puntuales, quien transite hoy
por el Israel moderno, verá
un país cuyas características
s on ta les c om o pr evi ó
Jabotinsky y definitivamente
diferentes a las que concebían
sus
rivales
políticos
contemporáneos. El liderazgo
sionista tenía una concepción
socialista, colectivista,
extremadamente estatista. Su
objetivo era representar los
intereses de la clase obrera y
veían con malos ojos la
propiedad privada. Jabotinsky
en cambio ponía en la cúspide
de la jerarquía al individuo. La
función del Estado debía
ser servir al individuo y no
viceversa. A pesar de las
acusaciones
de
sus
adversarios, se consideraba a
sí mismo acérrimo enemigo
del fascismo. El Estado
debía proveer al individuo
l a s at is f ac c i ó n d e s us
necesidades
básicas,
independientemente de si tenía
trabajo o no. Para los judíos “no
sólo el que trabaja debe comer
sino todo el que ronda
hambriento”.
Consideraba a la democracia
como el mejor sistema político
para expresar la voluntad de un
pueblo e imprescindible para
respetar a las minorías. Para él
lo esencial de la democracia
era la libertad. Creía que el
liberalismo tiene sus raíces en
la naturaleza humana, a
diferencia del régimen socialista
que la contradice. Por eso, a su
entender, la humanidad no se
dirigía hacia el socialismo,
como sostenían sus oponentes,
sino en la dirección contraria.
Estaba en contra del concepto
marxista de lucha de clases y
proponía el arbitraje nacional
para la conciliación de los
diferentes intereses en la
sociedad. Aspiraba a un
Page 21
sistema
de
gobierno
parlamentarista y consideraba
a la iniciativa privada el
factor determinante en la
conformación de una sociedad.
Entendía a los prejuicios
racistas como patologías que
no podían ser curadas por
medio del Derecho, sino que
debían serlo por la educación
general obligatoria. Todos los
habitantes del futuro Estado
debían tener los mismos
derechos sin distinciones de
raza, credo o nacionalidad.
Respecto al rol de la mujer
expresaba que no existe
función o profesión que no
confiaría a una mujer.
Creía en la separación entre el
Estado y la religión, pues ésta
debía ser una cuestión privada.
Por otro lado, el Estado Judío
debía basarse en la tradición
judía para erigirse en un Estado
ideal y asimismo velar por su
continuidad y desarrollo.
Entendía que la calidad de la
producción no depende de la
naturaleza sino del hombre, por
ello Suiza producía chocolates
de calidad sin poseer cacao. En
esta era de la tecnología,
¿quién puede hoy negar esa
aseveración?
Respecto a la guerra, pensaba
que era una enfermedad de la
cual la humanidad alguna vez
se curaría, pero mientras tanto
era necesario tener un ejército
poderoso con capacidad de
acción y disuasión. Las
negociaciones de paz con los
árabes solo resultarían
exitosas, cuando éstos llegaran
al pleno convencimiento que no
sería posible mediante las
armas deshacerse de los
judíos. Entonces y sólo
entonces perderían influencia
los grupos extremistas.
Es improbable que haya
imaginado que su nombre sería
el que más se reitera en las
calles de todas las ciudades de
Israel. Pero sobre las
características que tendría el
futuro Estado, su fisonomía,
sistema político, sociedad,
economía, idioma, ejército,
problemas existenciales, sus
predicciones tuvieron una
exactitud asombrosa.

Merkel: una bomba nuclear en manos de Iran "no es aceptable."
En un discurso al Congreso
americano celebrando el 20º
aniversario de la caída del Muro
de Berlín, Merkel dijo que
permitir a Irán tener armas
nucleares, especialmente con
un líder que niega el
Holocausto, "no es negociable."
"Una bomba nuclear en manos
de un presidente iraní que
niega el Holocausto, amenaza
a Israel y niega el derecho de
Israel a existir no es aceptable",
dijo.
Merkel dijo que
acepto que era
"enfrentar esta
directamente... si es
a través de duras
económicas."
Alemania
importante
amenaza
necesario,
sanciones
En el primer discurso de una
canciller alemana al Congreso
desde Konrad Adenauer en
1957, Merkel también exhortó
al mundo a "derribar los muros
de hoy" y llegar a un acuerdo
para combatir el calentamiento
global. Ella también reiteró el
compromiso de su país a
fomentar la seguridad en
Afganistán, y siguió para poner
es p ec i a l é nf as is e n l a
necesidad de un acuerdo global
sobre cambio climático - uno
que ella dijo esperaba pudiera
ser forjado en una conferencia
internacional el mes próximo en
Copenhague.
Merkel se reunió en la Casa
Blanca con el Presidente
Barack Obama antes de su
discurso para la sesión
conjunta del Congreso.
Luego de su reunión en la Casa
Blanca, Obama dijo, "Los
EEUU, Alemania y países
alrededor del mundo, pienso,
están comenzando a reconocer
por qué es tan importante que
trabajemos en conjunto a fin de
arrancar la catástrofe potencial
que puede resultar si
nosotros continuamos viendo
el calentamiento global no
disminuido", dijo Obama.
El también dijo que apreciaba
"los sacrificios de los soldados
alemanes en Afganistán."

Kislev - Tevet 5770
To celebrate growing older, lessons life taught me.
1 - Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2 - When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3 - Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4 - Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents
will. Stay in touch.
5 - You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
6 - Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
7 - It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
8 - Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all
about.
9 - Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never
blinks.
10 - Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
11 - When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an
answer.
12 - No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
13 - What other people think of you is none of your business.
14 - Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
15 - However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
16 - Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
