A Ziessen Pesach !
FROM THE RABBI’S DESK
By Rabbi Alan B. Lucas
Mazel Tov, we have a new Mahzor!
Lev Shalem
O
more are now a part of our new Mahzor as opposed to
being experiences we had to create outside of the prayer
book that we held in our hands.
Have things changed all that much?
But as much as things have changed, much remains the
same and Lev Shalem incorporates all of the traditional
prayers that we were accustomed to as part of our High
Holy Day davening. It is new in the ways that it needs to
be new, and familiar in ways that it needs to be familiar.
While no one prayer book can do everything and be
everything to all people, we are excited that Lev Shalem
will enable more of us to approach the beauty, awe and
inspiration that is the High Holy Day davening in ways
that were up until now unthinkable.
n Tuesday, January 26 our board of Trustees
enthusiastically endorsed the purchase of a new High
Holy Day Mahzor for our Temple. As my mother z’l would
have wanted to know, “Is this good for the Jews or bad for
the Jews?”
Well, for the Jews of Temple Beth Sholom, I think it is very
good. For some time now we recognized that we were in
desperate need of a new High Holy Day prayer book. Aside
from the fact that our old Silverman prayer books were
literally crumbling in our hands, they no longer spoke to the
needs of a community of Jews who were coming together in
worship in the year 2010.
In some ways yes. Since the Silverman Mahzor was
published in 1951, we have watched with excitement the
growth of the State of Israel as an important pillar of
contemporary Jewish life. The Shoah has integrated itself
into our psyche and needs to be reflected in our prayers.
We are a Movement that has gone through an exciting and
dramatic integration of women and egalitarianism in our
religious and communal life and yet on page 114 of the
Silverman Mahzor we have a prayer for the congregation
that reads: “May He who blessed our fathers…bless the
people of this congregation…them, their wives, their sons,
their daughters and all their dear ones…” For some time
now we at Beth Sholom have considered women as “people
of our congregation” and wrestled with the notion of a God
who is more than He.
Over the years we have added a number of significant
innovations to our High Holy Day worship: we added
prayers for healing; we opened our ark at Neilah and invited
those with personal prayers to approach; we developed our
Ohel and added study as a important component to our
High Holy Day experience; we created a supplemental
readings book to update the archaic English readings in
Silverman; we dramatically altered our Avodah Service
on Yom Kippur to make it more understandable and our
Martyrology Serivce on Yom Kippur to incorporate not
only the sad reminiscence of our rabbinic martyrs, but the
countless Jewish martyrs throughout the ages culminating
in our own generation’s experience with the Holocaust; we
also use an alternative Yizkor service that was reprinted from
our Sim Shalom Prayer book. All of these things and many

Lev Shalem is the name that was chosen for this new edition
of our traditional Mahzor. Lev Shalem is an expression
that is not easily translatable but means something like:
full heart, or whole heart. It suggests one of our major
hopes for the High Holy Days, which is to approach God
with a Lev Shalem. By providing us with a prayer book
that is overflowing with information and inspiration, a
multifaceted resource that will enrich the time we spend
in shul, I believe that it will enable many more of us to
enter the High Holy Days with a Lev Shalem.
We are indebted to the Spielman family, as the purchase
of Lev Shalem is being made possible through a generous
bequest left in the memory of Bill and Bette Ann
Spielman. They were such a rich and dynamic part of
our Beth Sholom past and now they will continue to be
a rich and dynamic part of our future. We will also be
giving you an opportunity to dedicate some of these new
Mahzorim in memory or in honor of your loved ones.
We will have an opportunity before and during the High
Holy Days to introduce you to our new Mahzorim, to
study and learn what they have to offer and to celebrate
this new dimension of our High Holy Day experience.
I look forward with great excitement to dedicating
these new prayer books and I also look forward to the
possibilities they offer in helping us learn and grow and
worship together with a Lev Shalem.
FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK
By Louis Naviasky
assover is about family, connection
P
and tradition. For the past 49 years
I have had the good fortune to celebrate
this wonderful holiday every year with
family.
As a young boy I looked forward to
Passover with great anticipation. My
memories of childhood Passovers are simply wonderful.
I vividly remember my grandmother making her gefilte
fish and calling the fish store when the horseradish wasn’t
just right. Then there was the chicken soup…always
sweet, some years with Matzah balls and other years with
kreplach.
If the Passover meal was not at my grandmother’s, it was
held at Aunt Gertie’s and Uncle Sam’s house. They always
hosted 25-35 guests. My relatives from Wilmington and
Harrisburg usually came in for the holiday. Being the
youngest wasn’t easy - I had the yearly pressure of singing
the Four Questions. For me, one of the highlights was
reciting the Ten Plagues…I loved those 10 sweet sips
of Manischewitz heavy Malaga wine (I knew they were
supposed to end up on the plate, but couldn’t resist).
These memories of Passover are as fresh as if they
happened yesterday, and every year we recall them and
recreate them as best we can.
As the years have passed by, Jill and I have taken over
the family Seder, and what a wonderful holiday it has
become. We generally have 30-40 guests. Both of us have
a strong sense that this is the time when family should
gather together. We hope that our children will see this
and model it to their children in an unbroken chain. Yes,
the table has changed over the years. There are now few
infants and more adolescents; there are young adults,
some with significant others, others without.
At the end of our family Seder we make a special toast to
Jill’s great Uncle Murray. Short in stature but strong in
religion and dedication to family, Uncle Murray was the
patriarch of the family. To respect to his memory, each of
us has a glass of Slivovitz!
These are just some of my Passover memories. Several
years ago when here at TBS we started our “Re-imagine”
project, we asked people to share something they
remembered about their Jewish childhoods. The stories
we heard were fascinating. From watching grandma cook
Shabbat dinner and light candles, to enjoying Poppy’s
Kiddush, the stories abound with beauty. We heard
stories of relatives contributing to JNF boxes, going to
neighbors to give them challah, or walking with parents
or grandparents to shul.
In the spirit of traditions like this, our “Re-imagine” project
helped shape our Temple’s vision statement, defining
family involvement as the cornerstone of our practice
and educational programs. We offer Jewish educational
opportunities for all adults and children, from traditional
and non-traditional families to become knowledgeable,
individually and together. Through various experiences
we enable our families to feel comfortable in our schools,
in our synagogue and ultimately, to empower them to
integrate Jewish ritual and life into the homes.
Temple Beth Sholom is dedicated to the pursuit of
LIFELONG JEWISH LEARNING. Built on the
principles of Torah, we strive to inspire learners at every
age to live a vibrant Jewish life in the home, within the
congregation and the greater Jewish Community.
During this wonderful time of year, both at TBS and at
home, tradition, memory and family guide us. As families
and as a community, we celebrate the holiday upon which
we became G-d’s chosen people.
In those crucial, first years as a nation, G-d tangibly
conveyed His love for us. We had no mitzvot and no
merits - we didn’t even deserve to be redeemed. Yet, G-d
showed us unconditional love that was not dependent on
our spiritual strengths, talents or stamina. He chose us…
not because of what we would accomplish in the years
and millennia to come; not because we would accept His
covenant, His rules, and His laws; not because of our
dedication, self-sacrifice or commitment; not because we
were to become a light unto all the nations. He chose us
on Passover, in our youthful years as a nation, simply to
convey His infinite love for us.
He chose us just because we are His.
On many other Jewish holidays, we commemorate,
celebrate and rejoice in many aspects of our relationship
and development as G-d’s chosen nation. But on Passover,
the most widely observed holiday of all, we celebrate
with a Seder that represents G-d’s timeless, steady,
unconditional love for us; a love that is ever-present,
simply because of who we are—His chosen people.
Chag Kasher V’Semaech!
A Happy Passover to All!

Temple Beth Sholom 3
FROM MBS
By Gila Hadani Ward,
Director of Lifelong Learning
It was a great first night back after Winter Vacation.
Our 10-12 graders on Monday Night had an opportunity
to meet with and talk to a group of 17 MBS Alumni who
came back to visit, see each other and share their college
experiences with our current students.
While I have always been impressed with these students,
after not having seen some of them for a while - I was just
so thrilled to see how much these students have grown they shared with us the choices they have made with their
studies, how they are handling academics and managing
llife on their own.
They also shared with us about the extent of their Jewish
involvement, ranging from participating in dinners and
programs with Hillel to being a part of Jewish fraternities
and sororities to taking Jewish studies courses. Two
students were participating this March in “alternative
Spring Break” programs where they will be involved in
community service activities in Argentina and Guatemala
and they will be doing this through the American Jewish
World Service.
Prior to MBS, Rabbi Lucas and I were privileged to
share dinner with these students, At dinner we asked
the students to reflect on their MBS experiences. They
shared with us the sense of connection that they feel to TBS and to their Jewish identity. They talked about
being able to ask questions at MBS, about it being a place
to be with friends and to explore their Judaism.
I am so proud of these students. I am so proud of the role
MBS has played in their development. This is why we do
what we do. I thank their parents for their commitment
to our program, Jewish education and to I hope that our
current students are developing in the same way and that
they are open to the same experiences, discussions and
learning. It will make their time at MBS so enriching
and so special.
If you have a child who is not involved with our Machon
Beth Sholom program, now is the time to get them
involved. Have them come try out our outstanding
program. If my “look into the future” is any kind of
barometer, it will be worth it!
Next year in Jerusalem!

FROM OUR YOUTH DIRECTOR
By Ravid Tilles, Youth Director
Looking back on half of a year for the youth department
of Temple Beth Sholom, we have a lot to be proud of and
even more to look forward to. Our youth program has three
separate youth groups: Machar, for students in grades 4
and 5, Kadima, for grades 6 and 7, and USY for grades 8
through 12. Each group meets monthly and participates in
various activities at our youth lounge. Our programming
has been very successful, drawing more participants at the
events than we have ever had before!
But here in the youth department, we don’t measure our
success based only on the number of young people who
attend, but rather the number of smiles that we see at
every event. Based on that measure, we are the best game
in town! Whether it be the Machar kids running around
the synagogue, building human pyramids and counting
pieces of art (there are over 400 pieces at TBS!), or the
Kadimaniks playing indoor gaga and “Pictionary”, or the
USYers hanging out and doing an Iron Chef event, this last
half year has been full of fun!
We also got out of the synagogue a few times and had
USY programs for all different tastes. In November, we got
together to watch a Jets game (when they weren’t going to
make the playoffs) and we played touch football. A few
weeks ago, we rode a bus into the city, ate a delicious lunch
at Kosher Delight, and had free time to sight-see before we
saw West Side Story on Broadway! We are looking forward
to trips in March for all of the youth groups (March 7th for
Kadima and Machar and March 14th for USY) to “Island
Rock” for a day of rock climbing, which should be a blast.
Also, as we look toward the second half of this year, we
are excited to host a divisional lounge night in our very
own Youth Lounge in February. USYers from the Chazak
division (teens from all of the Conservative synagogues in
Nassau County) will be invited to join.
Speaking of our Youth Lounge, we are excited about the
opportunity to do some remodeling. Now that we have
more space in the building thanks to the development
of the new ECC wing, the Youth Lounge is completely
designated for youth activities. This gives us a chance to
make the most out of our space and create a warm and fun
environment that is accessible for all of the kids at TBS.
Look out for more information about a redecorating event
in the Youth Lounge!
The TBS youth department is stronger than ever, thanks
to wonderful kids, a dedicated and enthusiastic team of
advisors and the unending support of synagogue parents
and staff. Together, we have created a unique program that
is designed to center around the needs and wants of the
youth. If you are interested in having your child join us,
please email the me at [email protected]. The TBS
youth department has programming for all different types
of young people, of all different ages, but the one thing that
never changes is the size of their smiles!
DERECH: LIFELONG LEARNING AT
TEMPLE BETH SHOLOM
By Gila Hadani Ward, Director of Lifelong Learning
On Sunday January 10, while the weather
dipped into sub zero cold – TBS congregants
and students to help warm the day of over 300
homeless people.
On January 10, 2010 Tikkun Alliance of the North
Shore (TANS), a partnership of 8 synagogues and the
JCC, provided the Jewish community with an incredible
opportunity to feed the hungry – to be intimately involved
with tikun olam (repairing the world). And, what an
amazing day it was! “From Our Table to Yours” – a TANS
food recovery initiative was officially launched.
Through the hard work of our TBS co-chairs, Pam Cott
and Linda Moskowitz, our community united to launch an
incredible program which we hope will springboard into a
synagogue wide social action initiative.
The day started at Old Westbury Hebrew Congregation
(OWHC) where Syd Mandelbaum, Founder of Rock and
Wrap It Up! inspired the crowd and called on us to continue
our work to fight poverty and share our commitment with
the next generation. (You may remember Syd who spoke
here at TBS last year). Then the group set out preparing
sandwiches and packages to distribute to homeless people
in 2 different locations – a parking garage in Glen Cove
and a park in Hempstead.
Meanwhile back at TBS…
Our Hay class (5 grade) Religious School students, along
with some wonderful parents and teachers, prepared and
cooked 6 huge trays of baked ziti, salad, garlic bread and
brownies which were all brought over to OWHC to serve

they kept saying they couldn’t believe that people could
survive outside on a such a bitterly cold day. For these
students, this opportunity to help others provided a real
awakening.
This Spring, we are hoping to form a synagogue-wide
Social Action Committee. We hope to help those
who need help while educating our community about
mitzvot and about righting the wrongs of the world. If
you are interested in joining this group, please feel free
to be in touch with me.
Help us in the holy work of repairing the world! It is
not an easy task, but it is so important.

EDUCATION MINUTE: MIRIAM’S CUP RITUAL
IN THE FAMILY SEDER
Filling Miriam’s Cup follows the second cup of wine, before
washing the hands. Raise the empty goblet and say:
Miriam’s cup is filled with water, rather than wine. I invite
women of all generations at our seder table to fill Miriam’s
cup with water from their own glasses.
Pass Miriam’s cup around the table(s); explain the significance
of filling Miriam’s cup with water:
A Midrash teaches us that a miraculous well accompanied
the Hebrews throughout their journey in the desert,
providing them with water. This well was given by God
to Miriam, the prophetess, to honor her bravery and
devotion to the Jewish people. Both Miriam and her well
were spiritual oases in the desert, sources of sustenance
and healing. Her words of comfort gave the Hebrews the
faith and confidence to overcome the hardships of the
Exodus. We fill Miriam’s cup with water to honor her role
in ensuring the survival of the Jewish people. Like Miriam,
Jewish women in all generations have been essential for
the continuity of our people. As keepers of traditions in
the home, women passed down songs and stories, rituals
and recipes, from mother to daughter, from generation to
generation. Let us each fill the cup of Miriam with water
from our own glasses, so that our daughters may continue
to draw from the strength and wisdom of our heritage.
When Miriam’s cup is filled, raise the goblet and say:
We place Miriam’s cup on our seder table to honor the
important role of Jewish women in our tradition and
history, whose stories have been too sparingly told.

Chodesh Tov! Have a wonderful month!
SHABBAteeny!
By Rabbi Cara Weinstein Rosenthal
and Dr. David Rosenthal
By Helayne Cohen, Early Childhood Center Director
When children are enrolled in our
Early Childhood Center, we not only
welcome them, but their families as
well. Family education is a valuable
and vital part of our programming
and one that welcomes parents,
grandparents, siblings, and extended
family members too. Some of our
special family programs are: Pizza
in the Hut for Sukkot, our Hanukkah Hero Party, our
first ever PJ Shema Party, a fun filled Purim carnival, a
family Pesach seder, Mom’s visiting day, Dad’s visiting
day and Grandparents visiting day. One of our 4 year
old highlights is Hooray for Havdalah! Our four year
old children celebrate Havdalah weekly with Rabbi
Friedman in the Temple Beth Sholom chapel. They learn
all about Havdalah, and how to celebrate this tradition
with their families.
I hope you enjoy reading the article below that was on
page 3 in the Roslyn News on January 21. We are so
proud of all that is taking place at the Early Childhood
Center. It certainly illustrates to readers how committed
we are to Jewish education from our littlest learners
through many ages and
stages.
It may have been a bitterly cold
evening on Saturday, January 9,
but there was plenty of warmth
at Temple Beth Sholom’s Early
Childhood Center. The 4 year
old children, along with their
families, teachers and rabbinic
staff, celebrated “Hooray for
Havdalah”, a ritual tradition
What: An interactive song-filled experience with
body movement, Shabbat songs and story time.
Join us afterward in the Kiddush luncheon at a table
specially reserved for families with children aged 2
years old and younger. This is a special new Shabbat
program for our teeny children in 2009-2010, and
a way for families with young children to meet one
another and celebrate Shabbat with song, dance, and
ruach (spirit).

The Rabbinical Assembly
Pesach Guide 5770
The Rabbinical Assembly
Pesach Guide 5770
This guide is based on the Guide that was prepared for the Rabbinical Assembly Committee on Jewish Law and Standards by Rabbi Mayer.
Rabinowitz and accepted by the Committee on December 12, 1984 with a number of changes that reflect subsequent decisions of the. Committee
on Jewish Law and Standards and the ongoing changes in food production. Additional material on smooth top electric ranges,medicines, cosmetics,
and toiletries has been added. This document has been prepared by Rabbi Barry Starr, a memberof the Kashrut. Subcommittee of the Committee on
Jewish Law and Standards, and Rabbi Paul Plotkin, Chair of the Kashrut Subcommittee.
Of all the festivals, Pesach is the one that not only requires
the most effort to prepare for, but by halakhic standards is the
most complex. Yet most Jews are committed to doing their best
to observe the laws of Pesah. Here we are providing a set of
guidelines for Pesah food and preparations. We will present
some principles first and then proceed to specifics. Of course
we cannot cover every possibility in this brief outline.
Please contact your local Conservative rabbi or local religious
authority if you have any questions.
FOODS AND FOOD STUFF
The Torah prohibits the ownership of hametz (leavened grains)
during Pesach. Therefore, we
arrange for the sale of the hametz to a non-Jew. The transfer,
mekhirat hametz, is accomplished by appointing an agent,
usually one’s rabbi, to handle the sale. It is a valid and legal
transfer of ownership. At the end of the holiday, the agent
arranges to repurchase the items on behalf of the owner, since
the hametz is again permitted. If ownership of the hametz
was not transferred before the holiday, the use of any such
hametz remains prohibited after the holiday (hametz sheavar
ha-Pesach).
Since the Torah prohibits the eating of hametz during Pesach,
and since many common foods contain some hametz, guidance
is necessary when shopping and preparing for Pesach. An item
that is kosher all year round, and that is made with no hametz,
and is processed on machines used only for that item and
nothing else may be used with no special Pesach supervision.
White milk would be an example of such a product. In most
cases however, since we do not know enough about the
processing of products or the sources of ingredients products
ought to have Pesach supervision. Those who wish to follow
other opinions should check with their Rabbi.
What follows is a general guideline. All kosher for Pesach
items must have a label indicating the name of a recognizable
living supervising Rabbi or kosher supervision agency. Items
that have a label that is not integral to the package and does
not indicate the product and current Pesach year,should not be
used without consulting your Rabbi.
Prohibited foods include the following: leavened bread, cakes,
biscuits, crackers or coffees containing cereal derivatives i.e.
anything made with wheat, barley, oats, spelt or rye. Any food
containing these grains or derivatives of these grains (the five
prohibited species for Pesach) are forbidden. Foods containing
flavorings, which may be derived from alcohol produced from
one of these grains which would be hametz, need Pesach
supervision. Ashkenazi Rabbinical authorities have added the
following foods (kitniyot) to the above list: e.g. rice, corn, millet,
beans and peas. These and other plant foods (e.g. mustard,
buckwheat and sesame seeds) are not permitted on Pesach.
Although many rabbinic authorities have prohibited the use of
peanuts and peanut oil, our Movement’s Committee on Laws
and Standards has permitted their use and consumption on
Pesach provided said items have proper kosher certification
and no obvious hametz.
Most Sephardic authorities permit the use of all the kitniyot
foods other than those that might have come in contact
with the prohibited grains. The further processed products
whether liquid or solid from kitniyot are also forbidden by
most rabbinical authorities. These might include but not be
limited to: corn sweetener, corn oil, soy oil and ascorbic acid
(vitamin C). Israeli products are often marked “contains
“kitniyot” and, thus, Ashkenazi Jews who do not use kitniyot
need to be vigilant when purchasing Israeli products.
PERMITTED FOODS:
a. The following foods require no kosher l’ Pesach label
when purchased before or during Pesach: fresh fruits and
vegetables that have not been coated (thesupermarket is
required by the FDA to have a list of such products), eggs,
fresh fish from a kosher source and fresh kosher meat or
frozen, raw hekhshered meat other than ground products as
ground products with prohibited materials could be made
on the same equipment.
b. The following products require reliable kosher l’Pesach
certification (regular kosher supervision being not
sufficient) whether bought before or during Pesah: all baked
goods (matzah, Pesach cakes, matzah flour, farfel, matzah
meal and any other products containing matzah, canned or
bottled fruit juices, canned tuna, wine, vinegar, liquor, decaf
coffee, dried fruits, oils, frozen uncooked vegetables,
candy, chocolate flavored milk, ice cream, yogurt, all cheeses
and soda. (These restrictions hold for Ashkenazic Jews; for
Sephardic Jews, the presence in some
of these products of kitniyot but not hametz may not
present a problem.
c. The following foods require no kosher l’Pesah label but do
require Kashrut supervision if purchased new and unopened
before Pesah: natural coffee without cereal additives, nonconfectioners’ sugar, pure tea (not flavored herbal or decaf
tea), salt with no iodine, milk (in the absence of a kosher
Pesah alternative), frozen uncooked fruit with no additives,
and baking soda.
d. Any processed food bought during Pesach must have a
kosher l’Pesach label.
e. Any detergent, because it is not a food and it is not
eaten, may be used for Pesah as long as it has valid kosher
supervision.
MEDICINES: Since hametz binders are used in many
pills, the following guidelines should be followed: If the
medicine is required for life sustaining therapy, it may
be used on Pesach. If it is not for life sustaining therapy,
authorities differ in their approaches. Please consult with
your Rabbi. Capsules, because they do not need binders, are
preferable to pills.
a. EARTHENWARE (china, pottery etc) cannot be
kashered. However fine translucent chinaware that was put
away clean and that has not been used for over one year,
may be used after washing. The china is then pareve and
may be designated for milchig or fleishig use.
b. PLASTIC ITEMS generally may not be kashered.
Consult your Rabbi for specifics.
c. METAL UTENSILS used in a fire must first be thoroughly
scrubbed and cleaned and then must be subjected to direct fire. A
blow torch and a self-cleaning oven are two ways to accomplish this
purging (libbun). This is a complicated and potentially dangerous
procedure and may result in discoloration of the metal being
purged. Exercise caution when performing libbun. Metal baking
utensils cannot be kashered because they require direct fire and
this will warp them.
cannot be kashered.
d. METAL POTS USED for cooking and eating and silverware
and utensils wholly of metal not used for baking, thoroughly clean
the item, then following a strict 24 hour waiting period, where they
are not used, immerse the item (hag’alah) in water at a rolling boil.
For pots and pans, clean handles thoroughly. If the handle can be
removed, do so for a more thorough cleaning. Each item must be
completely exposed to the boiling water to accomplish hag’alah.
Pots and pans are either immersed in a larger pot of boiling water
(may be done one section at a time) or filled with water brought
to a rolling boil and then a heated stone is dropped into the pot
such that the boiling water overflows to cover the sides of the pot.
In the case of silverware every part of each piece must be exposed
to the water at a rolling boil. Following this process, each utensil is
rinsed in cold water.
k. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES can be kashered if the parts
that come in contact with hametz are metal and are removable,
in which case they may be kashered like all other metal cooking
utensils. If the parts are not removable, the appliances cannot be
kashered. We recommend whenever possible that small appliances
be used that are strictly for Pesah thus avoiding the difficulty of
kashering these appliances.
e. OVENS AND RANGES – every part that comes in contact
with food must be thoroughly cleaned. This includes the walls and
top and bottom of the oven. Then the oven or range should be
heated as hot as possible. The oven should be heated at maximum
heat for an hour; the range top until the elements turn red and
glow. Then parts of the range top around the elements that can be
covered should be covered, usually with aluminum foil.
Self cleaning ovens are put through the full cleaning cycle while
empty. Following this process the oven should be again cleaned to
remove any ash. If the oven was very dirty to start, two cycles may
be needed to assume a thorough cleaning.
f. SMOOTH TOP ELECTRIC RANGES present a challenge.
We recommend cleaning the top thoroughly and then turning on
the burners to maximum so that it heats as hot as possible and then
carefully pour boiling water on the surface area around the burners.
g. MICROWAVE OVENS, that have no convection option
should be thoroughly cleaned. Then an 8 ounce cup of water is
placed inside, the oven is turned on until the water almost
disappears (at least 6 of the 8 ounces is gone). Heating to complete
dryness may damage the oven. A microwave oven that has a
browning element cannot be kashered.
j. DISHWASHER needs to be thoroughly clean including the
inside area around the drainage. Then a full cycle while empty
should be run with kosher detergent. After 24 hours of not being
used the dishwasher is again run empty for the purpose of kashering.
The dishwasher and the racks are pareve following this process. For
enamel coated dishwashers, consult a rabbinic authority.
l. TABLES, CLOSETS, AND COUNTERS should be thoroughly
cleaned and covered for Pesach. The coverings can be contact paper,
regular paper, foil or cloth that does not contain hametz (e.g. been
starched with hametz starch). Alternatively, boiling water may be
poured over the counters after they have been thoroughly cleaned.
The use of this alternative method depends on the material
of which the counter was made. Below is a list of materials for
countertops that the Chicago Rabbinical Council affirms may be
kashered for Passover. It is important to note that these materials
may be kashered only if they are not stained,scratched, or cracked.
Surfaces with a synthetic finish also must be cleaned and covered
as they may not be kasherable. For questions contact a rabbinic
authority.
m. KITCHEN SINK can be kashered by thoroughly cleaning
and scrubbing the sink (especially the garbage catch), letting it sit
for 24 hours and then carefully pouring boiling water over all the
surfaces of the sink including the lip. A porcelain sink cannot be
kashered, so Pesach dish basins and dish racks must be used, one
each for milchig and fleishig.
n. NON-PASSOVER DISHES, POTS, UTENSILS and hametz
food that have been sold as part of the selling of one’s hametz
should be separated, covered or locked away to prevent accidental
use.
h. CONVECTION OVENS are kashered like regular ovens.
Make sure to clean thoroughly around the fan.
i. GLASSWARE is a subject about which the authorities disagree.
One opinion requires that glasses be soaked in water for three
days, changing the water every 24 hours. Another opinion requires
only that the glasses be scrubbed and cleaned thoroughly or run
through a dishwasher. Glass cookware is treated like a metal pot.
See above for procedure. Glass bakeware like metal bakeware
MAKING A MEMORABLE SEDER: Try Something New
By Dr. Ron Wolfson
The seder need not--should not--stick to the script. Innovation is key for a memorable and fun educational experience. excerpts reprinted with permission from The United Synagogue Review.
..... the seder is designed to help us --remember--remember the story of the Exodus and, more
importantly, our place in it. After all, the most important words of the Haggadah are, “B’khol dor vador hayav adam lirot et atzmo k’ilu hu yatzah mi-Mitzrayim”--”All people, in every generation, should
see themselves as having experienced the Exodus from Egypt.” The seder is much more than a history lesson; it is our yearly re-enactment of the liberation and continuity of the Jewish people.
Thus, seder night is the family education experience par excellence. The rabbis who created its
structure and content were brilliant family educators, filling the ceremony with an array of multisensory methods of transmitting the messages of the evening. The seder is filled with symbolic foods,
elaborate rituals, words and song, and most importantly, questions designed to keep even the
youngest of children interested.
Although the seder is the single most observed Jewish celebration of the year in North American
Jewish families, many of us base our conduct of the seder on a model we knew as children--each
person takes turns reading a paragraph out of the Haggadah. In some families, that is considered a
“participatory” experience. It might be, but it’s hardly engaging.
When I interviewed families for The Art of Jewish Living: The Passover Seder, I learned that the
search for creative ideas for seder celebration is never-ending. So, here are ten tips on how you
might enliven your family’s seder experience this year.
1) Give homework. When the Weber family invites the Wolfson family for seder, we are asked to
prepare a presentation on some aspect of the seder ceremony. The presentation could be a d’rash-an explanation of what the Haggadah is trying to say. But, over the years, our presentations have
also been given as a play, a song, and a take-off on a game show. Not everyone in your family may
be able to do this, but there is no better way to encourage participation in the seder than by asking
people to prepare something in advance to bring to the table.
2) Buy time. The seder ceremony of my youth never lasted more than 20 minutes. That’s how long
it took to say Kiddush, do Karpas [the spring vegetable], break the matzah, and fight over who was
the youngest grandchild who could say the “Mah Nishtanah” [the Four Questions]. After a few minutes of everyone-take-turns-reading-a-paragraph, my Uncle Morton would ask the infamous “Fifth
Question,” “When do we eat?” End of ceremony.
One way to buy time to spend on the telling of the story is to offer your guests something to nibble
on between the vegetables of Karpas and the meal. My very creative wife Susie often prepares an
edible centerpiece. She and the kids slice jicama very thin and with “Jewish” cookie-cutters, stamp
out jicama Stars of David, Torah scrolls, and Kiddush cups. She places the shapes on the end of
bamboo “sheshkabob” skewers and inserts them into a head of red cabbage placed in a wicker basket. She adds color to the display by cutting flowerettes of green and red pepper, carrots, celery,
and other vegetables and placing them on skewers and into the cabbage. The result is a spectacular
vegetable bouquet which we use as a centerpiece on the seder table.
After Karpas, we invite our guests to “set the centerpiece” by taking the skewers out of the cabbage and dipping the vegetables into saucers of Pesahdik salad dressings placed around the table.
Our friends Gail and Shelly Dorph buy time by using artichokes for Karpas instead of parsley. They
then dip the artichoke leaves into dressings for nibbling until the meal is served.
3) Tell the story. The core of the seder experience is the telling of the story of the Exodus from
Egypt. The traditional text of the Haggadah contains four different tellings of the story, each one
beginning with a question (Mah Nishtanah, the questions of the Four Children, “Tzei u-l’mad,” and
Rabban Gamliel’s questions), a response, and praise for God. Think of ways to tell the story that
supplement the Haggadah. One year, we were invited to a seder where the host family put on a
skit. Stan Beiner’s Sedra Scenes is a good source. Another family we know of uses puppets and
story books. The most unusual telling, however, had to be the family who presented a magical version of the Ten Plagues in costume. The father played the Pharoah who, after complaining about
how thirsty he was, asked one of the kids to fetch him some cool, clear water from the Nile. The
child left the dining room and returned with a pitcher of water and an empty glass. As the “Pharoah” poured the clear water into the glass, it turned red! It turns out the father was an amateur magician who incorporated a variety of magic tricks into their telling of the story. It was amazing--and
unforgettable!
4) Ask questions. The Haggadah invites questions. Encourage your guests to liberate themselves
from the book and discuss what it is the Haggadah is trying to tell us. A favorite point to do this is
after the recitation of the Ten Plagues. “What are ten things that plague us today?” is a question
anyone, no matter what their Judaic knowledge level, can answer. When the Haggadah tells us
that we should feel as if we were redeemed from Egypt, what does that mean? What are we doing
about Jewish continuity in our family, in our community? The discussion resulting from these questions can be the highlight of your seder.
5) Have fun. Having family fun is serious business, especially at the seder table. The seder was
never meant to be dull. Quite the contrary, it is to be a relaxed, informal educational experience.
Some families and favorite songs children learn in religious school: “Go Down Moses,” “One Day
When Pharoah Awoke in His Bed,” and others. A favorite parody is “The Ballad of the Four Sons.”
We read “Only Nine Chairs” by Deborah Uchill Miller (Kar-Ben Copies), a hilarious account of a family seder.
6) Be inclusive. Scratch the surface of most Jewish adults and you’ll find a child who was upset at
not finding the afikoman. We created a way to include everyone in the afikoman search. We make
a chart with the order of the seder (Kadesh, Urhatz, etc.) and select one letter from each word. We
put these 14 letters on 3 x 5 cards and then hide them around the house. We tell the kids that each
of them must find at least one of the cards for us to find the real afikoman. When the kids find all
the cards, they bring them to the table. Then, we ask the adults to figure out a jumble-word-search
two-word clue from the letters. The letters spell “at refrigerator.” Once the clue is deciphered,
everyone runs to the refrigerator and finds the real afikoman! Then, of course, everyone who participated in the search gets a prize.
7) Use materials. One of the problems in keeping young children interested in the seder is that
most Haggadot are not designed for them. When our kids were in nursery school, Susie created a
“Pat the Bunny”-type Haggadah using the coloring sheets sent home from class. She added tactile
materials to the sheets where appropriate: cotton balls on pictures of sheep, sandpaper on pictures
of the bricks of the pyramids, grape scratch-and-sniff stickers on pictures of the Kiddush cups. She
put these in a loose-leave notebook and made copies for the kids at the seder. Susie also gave each
child a “goodie bag” filled with Passover symbols, frog stickers, a bookmark, even moist towellettes
for the inevitable spills of wine!
8) Hiddushim (innovations). Each year, experienced seder leaders look for new ideas to incorporate
into the ceremony. Here are a few of my favorites. Instead of filling Elijah’s Cup with wine at the
beginning of the seder, wait until just before opening the door and pass Elijah’s cup to each participant who pours some of her/his wine into it. This is a demonstration of the need to act to bring the
Messianic era. The Sephardim [Jews of Spanish and Mediterranean descent] pick up the seder plate
and place it over every person’s head during the recitation of Ha Lahma Anya, the invitation to participate in the seder. Another Sephardic custom is to beat the leader with green onions during the
singing of Dayyenu as a reminder of the plagues. Ask a set of modern “Four Questions” to discuss
at the ceremony. Challenge your guests to sing all the verses to “Had Gadya” [the song “One Kid”]
in one breath. Sing Had Gadya with sound effects: choose a person to create the sound of a goat,
a cat, a dog, a stick, fire, etc., which they make after the words are sung. (The most interesting
sounds will be for the “Angel of Death” and “Ha-Kadosh Barukh Hu”)!
9) Choose a good Haggadah.
We have traditional unedited texts and greatly abbreviated liberal
texts. We have new “family” Haggadot and that old standby, the Maxwell House Haggadah.
In the Conservative Movement, we have the excellent Rabbinical Assembly Haggadah, The Feast of
Freedom. Choose a Haggadah that fits your family’s needs. Since the cost of multiple copies is often quite substantial, pick one that will last a number of years in style, substance, and construction.
Remember, the book itself should stand up to extensive use.
10) Prepare. Of course, the ultimate Haggadah may be one you yourself put together. With inexpensive printing widely available, it is not difficult to edit your own Haggadah text. You can easily combine traditional texts with modern interpretations and readings, songs, and information. By studying
the Haggadah text with the help of guidebooks like The Art of Jewish Living: The Passover Seder,
you can develop a text that reflects your understanding of the seder story and that fits the needs of
your family. This will take some time, but the reward will be a seder experience that is meaningful
and memorable.

MEN’S CLUB
CLUB TBS: DISCO, DENIM & DINNER
By Irving Chernofsky, VP Publicity
By Richard Levine
On Saturday, February 6, 2010, Temple Beth Sholom held its first ever Disco, Denim, and Dinner at Club TBS. The
planning for this event started months in advance and its success can be credited to the committee chairs Lisa Levine,
Amy Magid, and Jill Naviasky and member sRebecca Altman, Len Bergman, Marci Kamberg, Richard Levine, David
Nussbaum, and Sandy Nussbaum.
Anticipation for the event heightened when raffle tickets were mailed to every TBS member. Even those who could
not attend could participate by purchasing the chance to win fabulous raffle prizes.
When the night arrived, attendees enjoyed a delicious cocktail hour, accompanied by a silent auction featuring jewelry
by Judith Ripka and furs by Frederick Gelb. Many happy partygoers went home with a new fur coat or a Judith Ripka
keepsake.
The doors opened to the ballroom and Club TBS was in full swing. United Floral Designs and Table Wraps donated
magnificent table décor and cozy seating. Todd Barrie Productions provided the music that packed the dance floor,
and Great Neck Games brought along some fun. The abundant buffet, by Newman and Leventhal, was both delicious
and eye-catching.
Great food and great music were the ingredients for a great evening.
Are you always at a loss when looking for a Passover
wine? Well, the Men’s Club is going to solve that
problem for you. The Men’s Club is pleased to
provide you with an opportunity to order a variety of
wonderful ‘Kosher for Passover’ wines for your Seder
and holiday. This year the Men’s Club is working with
one of the largest distributors of Passover Wines on the
East Coast. You will be able to choose from a complete
kosher wine catalog. In addition, in conjunction with
one of their wine experts we have also put together
two different sampler “baskets” of fine varietals. You
will be able to order the wines ‘a la carte’, by the case,
or by the basket. Look for the mailing from the Men’s
Club marked “PASSOVER WINES”. The forms will
also be available at the Temple Office. In the spirit of
Passover, a significant portion of the proceeds will be
donated to the Temple.
The Men’s Club will also be sponsoring a Passover
Wine Tasting. On Thursday evening, March 18th from
6:30 PM – 9:30 PM representatives from the wine
distributor will be on hand at Temple Beth Sholom,
to give us their insights on how to choose wine, and
ways to further appreciate the wine you choose. If
you want to get the best tasting Passover wines –
this will be the place to be! You will also be able to
submit your orders to Men’s Club representatives
at the Wine Tasting.
Put April 10th on your calendars, as Men’s Club
Shabbat is rapidly approaching. If you are
interested in participating, in any manner, please
contact Mansour Zarabi – we would love to have
you.
Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs; Chicago,
Miami, Hartford, and Denver. What do all of these
have in common? Fun, that’s what!! What a great
evening of fun was had by all who attended the
Sisterhood and Men’s Club Military Bridge night.
Where else can you visit 15 cities, and have dinner
and dessert at the same time, all in the span of two
hours?

The bright yellow daffodils are proudly announcing the
start of spring so please warm up with our many spring
programs. Pamper yourself at Ester’s Night of Indulgence,
on Thursday evening, March 11th. Treat yourself to a mini
massage and new make-up. Learn how to belly dance with
the sensuous music of ancient Persia. Then enjoy decadent
chocolates, cakes and Persian delicacies. Go home feeling
utterly relaxed. What a great way to celebrate Purim! Get
ready for Passover with our baking class. Look for the flyer
and the announcement for date and time on TBSNet.
Spring is just around the corner and so is our new Sisterhood
Shabbat education class. Join us to learn the meaning of our
Shabbat prayers and get ready to participate in next year’s
Sisterhood Shabbat. All sisterhood members are invited to
the new class. Date and time will be announced shortly.
Share with us your ideas for new Sisterhood education
classes. Please email me at [email protected] with
your ideas.
Winter was a great time for our Sisterhood members. We
had a hamantashen baking class led by Rachel Prowler and
her mom Laurie. Everyone went home with a goody bag of
hamantashen. Yummy! In January, Daniella Klein led a de
stressing workshop which helped us deal with the tensions
that fill our daily life. One of her great tips was to envision
your television set changing channels to the you that you
want to become. Another great tip was to take a moment
every day to envision the blessings in your life. Our daily
morning prayers are perfect for this, because we thank
God for every part of our body that works right! Thank
you, Daniella, for a great workshop. If you were all excited
when you received your mishloah manot goodies, please
thank Cindy Katz and Amy Magid. They worked very
hard on our Purim fundraiser. We hope you enjoyed the
convenience of ordering on line. And we hope your college
children enjoyed their Purim goodies prepared for them by
Dori Appleman and her committee. Purim marked the
end of February, but we also warmed up in February with
our annual Military Bridge and Dinner night. Everyone
had a great time, as they moved from table to table to play
“War”. There were lots of laughs, because this was an easy
game to play with easy going people to play with. Thank
you, Irving Chernofsky, for chairing this evening. Thank
you to Men’s Club for sharing this evening.
February also felt spring like when Zahava Gold, our
new young Sisterhood group, met for the first time in
the Mercaz Early Childhood Center for an evening of
socializing and planning of future events. We are thrilled
to have you. Thank you to Rebecca Altman for chairing
our new group. Sisterhood members enjoyed a thought
provoking evening at Sisterhood Night at the Movies.
The classic movie, A Civil Action with John Travolta and
Robert Duvall highlighted a world in which our natural
resources are in danger. Beth Eichenholtz facilitated a
passionate discussion on the movie and the consequences
of not protecting our earth.
And of course, Sisterhood Shabbat was the highlight of
our winter season. We are so proud of all the women who
participated in the service and worked so hard to make this
a great day. Thank you to Madeline Yousefzadeh and Sara
Most for all your expertise and help. Thank you to Norma
Solomon for helping Millie study Torah and Haftorah.
Thank you to Mahvash Zarabi for bringing spring to us
with the beautiful flowering plants for our luncheon. A
hearty Mazel Tov to Millie Magid for becoming a Bat
Torah. We are so proud of you. We invite all Sisterhood
members to study with us, to participate in Sisterhood
Shabbat and to become a Bat Torah, a daughter of the
Torah. Have a sweet Passover.
