Purim2016 - Temple Sinai
TEMPLE SINAI NEWS Winner of a Solomon Schecter Award for Excellence in Synagogue Bulletins Adar/Nissan 5776 Volume 70, Number 5 March/April 2016 PURIM Wednesday, March 23rd 5:00pm PURIM CARNIVAL 6:30pm Abbreviated Megillah Reading for ALL 7:30 More Carnival Fun! 7:30pm Ma’ariv Service & Full Megillah Reading FROM THE RABBI’S STUDY Rabbi Adam Wohlberg “Is there a ‘Jewish’ way to parent?” This was the question posed by Moment Magazine to a group of rabbis who represented the full spectrum of Jewish movements from Humanist to Chabad. (January/ February 2016) I believe that there is a Jewish way to parent if we want our children to remain Jewish. For anyone those of us who have raised children or are in the midst of doing so, the question is an opportunity to reflect on what, how, and why: 1. What values have I tried to impart to my children? 2. What pieces of history do I want my child to know so that he/she will better appreciate the world in which we live and understand the responsibilities we have towards one another? 3. How have I served as an example to my children of the values that I consider important? 4. How have I shown my daughter/son that being Jewish is important to me and that one of my greatest hopes is that Judaism will live on through my children, my grandchildren and beyond? Adam 5.Rabbi Have I explained to my child why I think observing Jewish rituals and traditions is important? 6. Have I discussed with my daughter/son why I believe in God?I choose to be Jewish in spite of my struggle to believe in God? The questions themselves remind us what an awesome responsibility it is to raise children and how thoughtful we must be in transmitting to them what we value. It isn’t necessarily easy to explain to children what we want them to know about Judaism, how essential these traditions are to our lives, or why we continue to adhere to teachings and customs that are centuries old. But there are times of the year when we are aided by the calendar, and now is one of those times.). In just a few weeks, we will celebrate Purim and a month later Pesach (Passover). Each of these holidays features themes, traditions and activities that can help parents explain to their children essential elements of the Jewish enterprise. Purim is an easy holiday to enjoy because it is a time for dressing up in costume, playing carnival games, eating triangle shaped pastries (hamantashen) . . . and we are encouraged to make a lot of noise in the service! What could be more fun for kids?!? It would be appropriate to teach your child that we celebrate our survival by giving gifts to those who are less fortunate (matanot la’evyonim). Kids will be most enthusiastic about dressing up like Esther, Mordechai or their favorite superheroes, but let them know that tzedaka is also an important part of how we celebrate as Jews. Pesach also features a Jewish story of survival, but even more important is the theme of liberation. The Passover seder (lit. “order” but refers to the evening banquet) provides a great many opportunities for children to be taught that we must care about and work to free, all people who are subjugated, imprisoned or enslaved. This is our responsibility because once our people were slaves so we know the preciousness of freedom. This piece of our history is retold each year through food, discussions and recitations, giving us the opening to share our understanding of God and God’s role in the world. Best of all, the seder is framed around questions – questions that children pose to their parents. The questions are found in the haggadah (book used as the seder) - and so are the answers! This is the easy bit of teaching you will do all year. There is a “Jewish” way to parent. It requires love, compassion, support, encouragement, and being a role model. When you light Shabbat candles or recite Kiddush on Friday night with your children; when you say the Shema at bedtime; when you eat with your children in a Sukkah or take them to Israel to see the birthplace of our People, you have demonstrated what being Jewish entails. The “Jewish” way to parent also means sharing with children our responsibility to make the world better. That is what our Bible teaches; that is what God represents; and that is a lesson that we learn from many of our holidays, chief among, them Purim and Pesach. Please Join Us Saturday April 16, 2016 7:15pm Honoring Nathan & Mary Relles Stan & Jackie Silverman Cocktail attire Kindly RSVP by Friday, March 25, 2016 EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION DIRECTOR Beth Rabinowitz We made it through February and now we are starting to inch our way into spring. Just knowing Purim is around the corner I feel that we made it through the winter and we’ll soon see flowers and sun once again. There are so many wonderful holidays throughout the Jewish calendar but I love Purim! We have delicious food, music, costumes and just a feeling of excitement going on through the Synagogue and Preschool. During this holiday there are a variety of lessons that you can share in your home with young children. First of all, I know it is messy, but making Hamantaschen is a must. You can talk about shapes as you make your triangles, there are a variety of fillings to choose from, there’s measuring, counting, tasting and so many additional developmental skills that happen while cooking. Groggers can easily be made with household items. Find a paper towel roll or toilet paper roll, add some beans and close off both ends. Now you just need to decorate. How about looking for a costume? Be creative and have fun coming up with a costume that your child will enjoy showing off. Maybe let them raid your closet for something they can make up themselves? Don’t forget mom and dad should also dress up and join the party. Shalom Sesame has a wonderful video which explains the story of Purim in a manner that young children will understand and enjoy. Of course we cannot forget about the Megillah reading. Make up your own story with your child and read it over and over again like we do each year with the Torah and the Megillah. We learn best through repetition plus each year, as your child grows, he/she will learn something new. The love of Judaism begins with our traditions and by combining memorable experiences at home and Synagogue children grow up with a sense of belonging and commitment. I hope to see you all during our Purim Carnival on March 23rd. Now I am off to find my costume…. OMG...How Exciting! Temple Sinai is opening an INFANT CENTER in Early Spring! Spread The Word! DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION Shira Weissbach It has been a fun and busy winter for the Temple Sinai Religious School and Sinai High. We’ve had special programming, lots of classroom learning, and we are gearing up for Purim and Passover. Although the original date for our Tu B’Shevat program was snowed out we were able to make it even better for the rescheduled date in early February. In celebration of Tu B’Shevat, students learned about water conservation in Israel, biblical trees, had a fruit taste test and blessings station, read stories, and played games! This year, as a special opportunity, our Kitah Gimel (3rd grade) created a shuk (market) to expose the rest of the school to Israeli products and foods that connect with the holiday. We sold baked goods (baked by our Kitah Gimel students), Israeli snacks, fruit, and even freshly squeezed orange juice! The entire school had an opportunity to visit the shuk, and many students purchased special treats. With the proceeds from our sales and additional donations we raised $500.00 to plan trees in Israel through the Jewish National Fund. A garden (100 trees!) will now be planted in honor of the students in the religious school. What an amazing accomplishment! Aside from our special programming the students are busy learning Hebrew, connecting to our holidays, learning their tefillot (prayers) both in class and with Cantor Freedman, learning the Torah and its many lessons, building community and so much more! We are looking forward to our Purim celebration/carnival/dinner on March 23rd. It promises to be fun for the entire family. This will be a different format from past years but I know it will be a wonderful evening for all of our families! The teachers and I already busy planning our Pesach (Passover) program, which will be held on Sunday, April 10th. The Sinai High students recently began their spring semester. Along with core courses in Holocaust Studies, American Jewish History, and Rabbinics, the, students have the opportunity to take elective classes as well. A new elective offering this spring, The Chalutzim of Israel, puts students in the shoes of the early pioneers of Israel, prioritizing and making decisions just as they did years ago. The popular Conversational Hebrew elective is being offered again this semester, and it’s such a treat for me to hear the students speaking Hebrew to one another in class. Sinai High registration will open in April. More information to follow!

It was our best year ever! Over $10,000 was raised. We were concerned about the cold weather but that did not stop our dedicated shoppers who have come to look forward to this event. Shoppers were lined up as early as 7:45 AM for a 9 AM opening! It was gratifying to raise so much money AND to have all our ‘stuff” find “happy homes” with our most appreciative customers. Kudos are well deserved for this collaborative effort. • Of course, first recognition goes to our hardworking and dedicated committee: Cindy Horowitz, Benne Marmer, Debbie Krochtengel, and Anne Vey, with a special “shout out” to Suzan Hirsch. • Mary Relles organized the cashiers, which included Shelley Bilsky, Marcia Cherry, Nancy Fagan, Laura Libove, Karen Mann, Audrey Marcus, Karen Petkun, Roz Romanoski, Liz Shamir, Arlene Smuckler, Gert Solkov, Rick Solkov, Ellen Spear, Sarah Vogel, and Laurie Wernick. • Costume Jewelry is one of our most important categories. Months ahead of the event our Jewelry ladies were busy sorting and pricing. Special thanks to Faith Rubin, Joan Winokur, Karen Petkun, and Margie Hesney. • Other helpers included Stu Weitz and Bill Marmer. We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you! This acknowledgement does not do justice to the efforts of so many. Let me know if your name is left out. It is truly inadvertent and we will put it in the next column. Coming up: • Shaloch Manot: It has never been easier to fulfill this mitzvah. This is the first year that Sisterhood is offering Shaloch Manot ordering online. Check out https://tsinai.happypurim.com. • Saturday, March 12: Rosh Chodesh: Liz Shamir will be leading a discussion on “Fiddler on the Roof: The Back Story.” • New!

Balka. More information to follow. • Friday, March 25: Sisterhood Shabbat. This will be a Friday evening service. • Wednesday, March 30, 7:30 PM: Spring Event: Dr. Ken Koltun-Fromm, Professor of Religion at Haverford College will present, “What does Jewish look like in Jewish Cooking?” • To be announced: Rescheduling of Laurel Hill Cemetery Trip.

HAZAK HAZAK PRESIDENT Steven Rosen Steve Rosen We eagerly await the arrival of spring. Many of our members have enjoyed climates a lot warmer than the icy climates in our area. As they return, we will all enjoy a full schedule of entertaining and informative programs. Welcome back! HAZAK WEEKEND March 19 and 20 Hazak Weekend - Talk to Neil and Sheila Gendelman about your participation in the Shabbat service on March 19th. A luncheon will follow sponsored by Hazak. On March 20th at our Sunday brunch, Rabbi Robyn Frisch will speak about what she has learned from working with interfaith families. Many of us have someone in our family that does not practice Judaism and this program will assist us in our interfaith communications. POWER OF RELIGION III BRUNCH April 3, 2016 - Asaf Romirowsky, PhD will discuss bias against Israel and Jews in general. Asaf served in the Israel Defense Force as an international liaison in the West Bank and Jordan.

Want to read to the Preschoolers? Contact Beth Rabinowitz 215.643.6513 MEN’S CLUB PRESIDENT Greg Fisher As I am writing this, we are all coming out of our Winter doldrums and marching steadily toward Spring. After a quiet few months, The Men’s Club ramped it up at the end of January with our second annual Super Bowl Hoagie Sale that benefits our religious school. We had our annual World Wide Wrap, which teaches kids how to put on tefillin, and included a special service run by the Rabbi. Our Texas Hold ’Em tournament that raises money for Project Hope was a big success and we thank Sam Domsky for his dedication to this worthy cause. Lastly, on February 19, we had our annual Men’s Club/ Boy Scout Shabbat, which was attended by close to 100 people. Just as Punxsutawney Phil is eager to get his Spring on, we are excited for all the great programs we have coming up. We will be hosting a Date Night on April 2nd at ComedySportz Philadelphia. Information about this event will be sent out in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for it. Project Hope will be on April 17th, the morning after Temple Sinai’s 75th Anniversary Gala. Hopefully, we can drag people out of bed after a short sleep to package and distribute Passover meals. It’s been a while since our last Pub Night, and we will again be going out on April 12th. The location of the event is still being worked out and information will be sent out prior to the event. We plan on having our award winning Oy’Lympics on May 22nd, the last day of Religious School. We are combining efforts with Shira Weissbach and the Religious School to flow easily from the last day events directly into the Oy’Lympics festivities. There will be music, games and food, so we are really looking forward to this event. I wish everyone a happy Purim and look forward to seeing all of you at Temple Sinai’s 75th Anniversary Gala. United Synagogue Youth (USY) is a Jewish Youth Organization for Jewish teens in 8th through 12th grades. It is a great way to meet other Jewish teens in a fun and inviting atmosphere. For me, it has become a home away from home. I am never without a friend at an event. Everyone is so welcoming, accepting, and inviting that it is impossible for me to leave a convention without having made at least one new friend. With these friends, I have learned so much about my Jewish identi ty through various discussions about any number of topics. Everyone is so welcoming, accepting, and inviting that it is impossible for me to leave a convention without having made at least one new friend. With these friends, I have learned so much about my Jewish identity through various discussions about any number of topics. In addition to unforgettable friends, USY has given me more leadership opportunities than I can count. I am the Chapter President for Temple Sinai USY and also the Regional Regalia Chair. Through these positions I have been given so many opportunities to become a strong leader. I have planned programs, designed shirts, helped to coordinate social media, taken photos for events, and more. Getting involved in USY has been the best decision I have made. Getting involved is extremely easy. Just keep your eye out for upcoming events and emails! We have events at the chapter level (with Temple Sinai teens) and regional programs with teens from all over the Philadelphia area. •3/5 -Hagesher and EPA regional Prom •4/2 Bubble Soccer •4/8-4/10 -Hagesher and EPA Spring Convention ALL CLASSES ARE FROM 11am - 12pm March 19th April 9th ALL CLASSES ARE FROM 11:30am-1:30pm March 12th April 2nd April 16th March 19th 10am-12pm How to Correctly Fold a Hamantaschen 1. • Cut circle at least 3” round 2. • Fill with NO MORE than 1 tsp. of filling 3. • Grasp the right side of the circle and fold it towards the center, overlapping the upper part of the left side flap to create a triangular tip at the top of the circle. A small triangle of filling should still be visible in the center 4. This way, each side of your triangle has a corner that folds over and a corner that folds under-- it creates a “pinwheel” effect. This method if folding is not only pretty-- it will help to keep the cookies from opening while they bake. Pinch each corner of the triangle gently but firmly to secure the shape. • Grasp the left side of the circle and fold it towards the center to make a flap that covers the left third of the circles • Grasp the bottom part of the circle and fold it upward to create a third flap and complete the triangle. When you fold this flap up, be sure to tuck the left side of this new flap underneath the left side of the triangle, while letting the right side of this new flap overlap the right side of the triangle. To Live, To Love, To Learn Dear Friends and Congregants, We are excited to take yet another step in fostering an environment for scholarship and community at Temple Sinai. In recent weeks, we have begun the groundwork for creating a lay-led “nosh and drash” discussion group to take place sometime during Shabbat morning services. Now we need your help. Anyone interested in being part of this endeavor is invited and encouraged to meet on Sunday, March 20th at 12pm to discuss everything from how often the group will meet, to where/what time during services and what the structure/topics covered will be. There is no formal background or knowledge base required; everyone is welcome, and everyone is free to take part in the process of learning as is comfortable for them. We are excited about this opportunity to learn with, and from, one another. And we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Sunday, March 20th as we begin this exciting new journey into exploring the whys and whats of Jewish life and learning, and how each of us understands them in our own way. If you can’t join us for the planning meeting, please feel free to e-mail or call TOBEY GRAND at [email protected] / 215.393.0159 in order to share any ideas you have for helping this exciting new group take shape. Sisterhood Jewish Living by Joan Winokur Here we go again. It’s Adar! It’s Adar! That’s no typo. Every 3rd, 6th, 8th, 14th 17th and 19th year we add a second Adar. “Be happy! It’s Adar!” Our joy comes from the celebration of Purim. But in which month? This year it falls on the 14th day of Adar II. This extra month assures that our holidays and festivals fall in the right season, it aligns the solar & lunar calendars. Bake your hamantaschen to munch, remember shalach manot so others can too. Get on your get up, bring the family and meet me in the schul Wednesday evening, March 23rd to hear the Megillah of Esther, gragger out Haman’s name and be happy in Adar II. B’nai Mitzvah Melissa Chadrow daughter of Beth & Mitchell Chadrow March 26 Marissa is very excited to become a Bat Mitzvah at Temple Sinai. Marissa is a 7th grader at Sandy Run Middle School. She began her Jewish Education attending Temple Sinai Preschool at the age of 2 and continues her education at the Temple Sinai Religious School. Marissa has been very active in the synagogue. She has been part of Yad Squad and involved in the Junior Choir. She is also part of the Rosh Hodesh youth group and has performed in the Temple Sinai Players productions at the synagogue. Marissa is involved in many activities. She loves to sing and act. She is part of the chorus at school and has performed in the plays at Sandy Run Middle School. In addition Marissa plays soccer and this past fall was a cheerleader for the Sandy Run Football team. Marissa enjoys spending time with her family, taking vacations with her family to the beach and spending time with her friends. Marissa’s mitzvah project focused on the continued research and cure for cancer by actively participating in the Relay for Life cause for the past few years. This cause is very close to Marissa as her grandfather and aunt both passed away from cancer. Marissa is excited to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah with her parents Mitchell & Beth along with her sister Samantha along with her grandmothers, aunts, cousins, family and friends. Oren Serafin son of Rotem Friede & Jason Serafin April 2 Oren Serafin is excited to be celebrating his Bar Mitzvah and has enjoyed the learning experience leading up to his special day. Oren has been enrolled in the Temple Sinai Hebrew School since moving to the area three years ago. Oren is currently a seventh grader at Sandy Run Middle School. Outside of school, he plays ice hockey for the Wissahickon Warriors and the Upper Dublin Middle School. He is also an avid tennis player and currently plays at the Upper Dublin Sports Center. In his free time, he enjoys hanging out with his friends, playing chess, video games and sports. Oren spends his summers at various camps and at the pool. The highlight of the summer is an annual trip to the Outer Banks. Oren will be celebrating his Bar Mitzvah with his family including his parents, Jason and Rotem as well as his brother, Ben, and his sister, Arielle. Oren is also thrilled to celebrate with his friends and relatives. B’nai Mitzvah Daniel Caplan son of Carolyn & Barry Caplan April 9 Daniel is currently a 7th grade student at Sandy Run Middle School. He began his Jewish education at Temple Sinai in it’s pre school and continues in religious school. Daniel has participated in junior choir, yad squad as well as the youth group. Daniel spends his summers at Camp Ramah in the Poconos. At school, Daniel enjoys social studies and English as well as acting in the Sandy Run theater productions. He is currently preparing to play adult Simba in the Lion King. Daniel also plays viola in the Sandy Run Orchestra as well as drums outside of school. Giving back is an ongoing part of Daniel’s life, so he felt the best way to make a difference for his Bar Mitzvah project would be to give of himself and his time. He has been helping out in Mechina 2nd grade on Sundays. Daniel loves the interaction with children the most. Daniel celebrates this special milestone with his parents Carolyn and Barry, his brothers Sam and Asher, grandparents Judy and Jerry Caplan and Harvey and Lynn Miller as well as his extended family, friends and Temple Sinai members. REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! Camp begins on June 14th and runs through August 26th Go to www.tsinai.com for registration forms We are pleased to share with you The Steven D. Josselson Tikvah Fund at Camp Ramah in the Poconos Dear Congregants, It’s been eight months since our beloved Steve’s unexpected passing at only 39 years of age. We know from the sheer number of you who’ve reached out to us over the past eight months that Steve meant something to a great number of people. Of course, this doesn’t come as a surprise to us! In Steve’s memory, we have begun a campaign to raise $20,000 to establish an endowment at Camp Ramah in the Poconos. This summer Ramah Poconos will launch its Tikvah Residential Program for campers with different needs. The Steven D. Josselson Tikvah Fund at Camp Ramah will provide funds for quality programming and training on inclusion, and invest in resources to support camper’s varying needs. This endowment will live on in perpetuity in Steve’s memory. We gratefully acknowledge that an anonymous donor will match contributions of $1000 or more. As some of you know, Steve’s oldest son, Rafi (who is 8 years-old), has a diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder. Since a member of our family is a child with different needs than a neurotypical camper, we can think of no better way to honor Steve than to work with Ramah Poconos to raise funds for inclusion. Steve loved to tell Rafi and Ben stories about his summers at Camp Ramah in the Poconos. He hoped that by the time each of them was old enough for overnight camp, they would be able to experience summers at Ramah just like he had. Help us in making Steve’s hope a reality and in giving countless campers and their families the gift of true, meaningful inclusion. Maybe like us, you think about Steve every day. Maybe you hadn’t spoken with Steve in years, but remember him fondly. Maybe you feel as passionate about inclusion within the Jewish camping movement as Steve did. Whatever your connection to Steve, we hope you’ll join us in supporting the Steven D. Josselson Tikvah Fund to support inclusion at Camp Ramah in the Poconos.
