KEHILATH ISRAEL’S
Vol. 46, Issue 11
November 2010
When I was a child there was a tremendous
uproar when a Jewish columnist and TV
personality by the name of Clifton Fadiman either
sued or threatened to sue a newspaper when they
referred to him as being a renowned “Jewish”
commentator and journalist. He was offended
by being referred to as being a Jew. There was
a tremendous outcry from the entire Jewish community and it
became the topic of every talk show and newspaper article.
Generally, Jews today are much more proud of their heritage than
apparently he was. However, from time to time people still do not
respect their own tradition and in a recent example we saw kind of
“what goes around comes around” occur to one such individual.
Now we know for a fact that there is a G-d in this world! And
how do we know? Because of the results of a baseball game played
by the Washington Nationals and the Philadelphia Phillies on Kol
Nidre night.
It was on Kol Nidre night of this year that Jason Marquis was
scheduled to pitch for the Nationals. Marquis gets paid about $7
1/2 million a year to pitch for the Washington Nationals. Marquis
also happens to be Jewish. And here it was Kol Nidre night — the
holiest night of the year. Would he pitch? Should he pitch?
This would not have been much of a question before 1965. It was
in 1965 when the opening game of the World Series between the
Los Angeles Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins took place. And
scheduled to pitch that opening game was Sandy Koufax. That
year he had won 26 games and struck out 382 batters; breaking
the major league record. That year he had pitched a perfect game;
the fourth no-hitter of his career. That year he won the Cy Young
Award for the third consecutive year - an unprecedented event as
the best pitcher in baseball. That year Sandy Koufax changed the
course of American Jewish history. That year the first game of the
World Series came out on Yom Kippur day. And Sandy Koufax, a
Jew, chose not to pitch. He went to shul instead.
I kid you not when I say that day in 1965 was a major moment in
American Jewish history. That was before Jews had become part
of the American mainstream. That was at a time when Jews were
hiding their Jewish identity in order to be accepted. That was a
time when you were a Jew at home, but an American in public.
That was a time when Jews found it best not to draw attention to
themselves as Jews. Along came Sandy Koufax, the Jewish kid
from Borough Park, Brooklyn, and announced to all the world:
I’m not pitching ... it is Yom Kippur, my holy day. And nothing has
ever been the same!
In October of 2004, when the star Dodger baseball player named
Shawn Green, who is also Jewish — what else could he be with
a name like “Shawn” — confronted a similar decision when his
team was playing for the pennant and the game came out on Yom

As we enter November, I realize that this year
has gone by more quickly than I ever imagined.
Although we have shared many experiences,
challenges, and accomplishments, there is still
much to be done. I must again compliment and
thank both Randi Haith and Cindy Singer for
the extraordinary job they have done on the
Centennial Ad Book.
November 6th is Grand Givers, our largest single annual fundraiser.
I know this year will be exceptional. Bonnie Siegel, our Grand
Givers Chairperson, will transform our synagogue, not only for K.I.
members but for the entire community. This magical mystery tour
will be a night to remember. I hope to see everyone there. I want
to thank Bonnie Siegel and Steve Osman for the months of hard
work. It is deeply appreciated by our entire congregation.
We are moving forward on our work with governance; on November 4th our board will be meeting to review a new set of proposed
bylaws. Howard Jacobson and his committee have worked for
almost two years to bring to our board new governance that will
help K.I. to be stronger as a board and as a congregation in the years
to come. This was not an easy process, and I would like to express
our deep thanks to Howard and everyone on his committee for all
of their time and effort. After reviewing the bylaws, we will meet
in December to vote on the final document.
In the area of board development, the board will begin a process
chaired by Karen Pack, starting at our next meeting on the 4th. That
will be followed by a retreat set for mid-December. Alan Edelman,
Associate Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Greater
KC will help lead this process along with other professionals in
our community.
The Strategic Planning Chairs, Ellen Portnoy and Geoff Friedman are working to create a strong foundation for moving forward.
Geoff is continuing in the area of finance, efficiency, and transparency with David Stallings. In a first step, Ellen and her committee
have created a survey and will be sending it out to the congregation.
It is very important that everyone return their completed survey
within the time frame they have requested.

CANTOR’S CORNER
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite American holiday. It’s a time when many
families gather together around the dinner
table saying what they are most thankful for,
recalling the many fond memories of the past
and then ingest an obscene amount of calories.
Most people express their thanks for their loving family and friends, for their good health, for the good food
that they are about to eat, for being able to live in this great
country and for all that’s good in their lives. For sure, these
sentiments of gratitude are heartfelt, but are seldom directed
to the source of all our blessings, to G-d. That is why our
Sages wisely incorporated expressions of gratitude to G-d
into our daily prayers.
We’ve all heard of the expression “count your blessings.”
This is exactly what was prescribed for us to do on a daily
basis. However, our attention is directed to the blessings that
most people take for granted. For instance, when we wake up
in the morning we are instructed to thank G-d for allowing
us to wake up. After all, in this country, a person dies every
twelve seconds. The fact that we were not that person and we
woke up should be reason enough to express our gratitude
to G-d. There are over forty million people in this country
that live below the poverty level, twenty-one million who
are blind and eight million who are deaf. If we are not one
of them, how can we not thank G-d. Therefore, we have a
series of fifteen morning blessings of gratitude thanking our
Creator from making us Jewish, giving us freedom, providing
our sight and hearing, giving us the ability to stand up and
walk, providing our sustenance, and instilling our creativity
to choosing us for His divine mission. All of these expressions of gratitude are meant to make us recognize all of the
blessings and miracles that we are granted on a daily basis.
We are given the opportunity to celebrate life every day and
not just annually.
Other ways that we can express our gratitude on a daily
basis is by reciting a b’racha (blessing) whenever we eat or
drink, whenever we go to the bathroom, at special times in our
lives, for holding a newborn baby for the first time, whenever
the Chiefs or Royals win a game, and even at sad times in our
lives. Reciting b’rachot gives us the awareness that life is so
fragile and finite, and all that we have in our lives is a daily
gift from G-d that should never be taken for granted. Just as
food helps the soul connect to the body, because without food,
eventually the soul will separate from the body, b’rachot connects the soul to the Infinite. The kabbalists explain that the
mouth is where the soul fuses with the body. This explains
why food goes in there, as food maintains the fusion, and
why b’rachot are spoken there, as they maintain the soul’s
connection to the Infinite. This connection puts things in
perspective and provides us the strength that can help us cope
when we experience tragedy in our lives.

THE ANNA AND CHARLES RUBINS
ALZHEIMER SUPPORT FUND
Cantor Shron cont’d from page 2.....
I would encourage all of you to begin reciting b’rachot
as often as possible, and to contact me if you need help or
guidance on how and when to recite them. We might not be
able to have a big Thanksgiving feast every day of the year,
but we can certainly count our blessings daily, and by doing
so, we can face each day with optimism and gratitude.
Kehilath Israel Synagogue is pleased to announce that
in December, 2010, there will be a new fund established
to benefit the members of the congregation.
This fund will be used to provide support to individuals
and families within the congregation who are currently
dealing with the emotional, physical and financial
challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. In partnership with
the Alzheimer’s Association – Heart of America Chapter,
this fund will help connect individuals and families with
the support resources necessary to maintain and enhance
quality of life for those living daily with Alzheimer’s.

LAWS AND CUSTOMS OF CHANUKAH
On the first night of Chanukah,
Wednesday, December 1, three blessings below are recited on the first night
immediately PRIOR to the lighting of
the candles (not while lighting them).
The third blessing “Sheh-heh-chehyanu” is recited only on the first day
of each holiday in the Jewish year. On
all other nights, we recite only the first
two blessings.
Chanukah candles are placed from
right to left side until finally on the
eighth night, the Chanukiah is full. We
light the newest candle first; therefore,
we always begin by kindling the candle
at the left and proceed toward the right.
On the Friday night of Chanukah,
December 3, we always make sure
that we light the Chanukah candles
before sundown and before the Sabbath
candles are lit. It is better not to light
the Chanukah candles at all on Friday
night than to light them after dark which
is a violation of the Sabbath laws. On
Saturday night, December 4, any time
after Havdalah at 5:32 p.m., it is permis-
sible to light the Chanukah menorah
(Chanukiah).
Jewish law requires that on every night
of Chanukah, the candles must burn at
least one half hour after dark. Since on
Friday night we must light the Chanukah
candles before Sabbath candlelighting
(4:39 p.m.), it is traditional to use larger
candles such as Shabbat candles or tall
tapers for the Chanukiah itself.
For Chanukah, one might light either
an oil or a candle menorah, the only requirement being that whichever type of
light is used, that it be clear and bright.
There has been a great deal of discussion
as to the use of an electric Chanukiah.
Since it is not definite as to whether
or not an electric menorah fulfills the
obligation of the lighting of Chanukah
lights, it is best to avoid the use of such
a Chanukiah, except for purely decorative purposes.
In general, on a weekday night other
than Sabbath night, the Chanukah candles are to be lit approximately at dark.
If, however, one is not at home or this
www.kisyn.org
time is inconvenient, they can be lit at
any time during the entire night. If one
has to leave home prior to dark and may
not return for the rest of the evening, the
Chanukah candles may be lit about an
hour before dark, provided that Chanukah lights will burn for a short period of
time after dark.
The Chanukah candles are to be lit
simply for religious reasons and are not
to be used for any secular purposes such
as lighting other objects, reading lights,
etc. However, this limited use of the
light applies only during the first half
hour of their burning. The rabbis of
old determined that the required burning time of a Chanukah candle is one
half hour, and after that time, they may
be used for any other purpose or even
extinguished.
It is customary to place the Chanukiah
in the window of one’s home, on the
main table around which the family
gathers, near the door, or any place
where lighting of the candles will become a public event.
MEN’S CLUB NEWS
The new slate of officers have been installed, and this is
the begining of a new year. Greg Quinn is our new president
and we can expect a really good year.
We had our installation lunch on Sunday, October 17, and
everyone had a good time. I want to thank Joyce Zeldin
and her crew for a job well done. Rabbi Mandl, as usual,
did a good job installing the new officers.
We need some new ideas for programs and we would appreciate any help we can get. Make it a commitment to try to
attend just one board meeting and let us know what kind of
programs you would like to have.
The Men’s Club is a great organization, and we enjoy the
meetings when we get together.

hallway (in the fire extinguisher cabinet) between Brown
Pavilion and the kitchen prep area so that there is ready
accessibility from the kitchens, social hall, gymnasium and
Brown Pavilion.

Kippur, he too, chose not to play. This Kol Nidre night, Jason
Marquis — the pitcher for the Washington Nationals and a team
that was going no place —chose to play.
Here is where G-d comes in. The first batter up against Marguis
popped out in foul territory. The next batter singled. The next batter
walked. The next batter singled. The next batter singled. The next
batter singled. The next batter singled. The next batter was hit by
a pitch. The next batter singled. The next batter singled. That was
it for Marguis ... he was pulled from the game in the first inning.
Thus, showing to all the world that there is a G-d in this world.
Even though, I am kidding a little bit by attributing his loss to
G-d, we all need to learn that we need to take pride in our Jewish
faith.

Although not on the Jewish calendar, November is a time of giving thanks. I would like to thank all of our volunteers, those that I
have mentioned, and the many that are often not mentioned but who
dedicate their time and resources to make K.I. the best synagogue
in Kansas City.
I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Village Shalom will honor resident and longtime volunteer
Mel Mallin as its 2010 recipient of the Stephen J. Schoenfeld
Volunteer Recognition Award. The award will be presented
at the organization's Ages of Excellence Celebration on
Thursday evening, November 18, at the Sheraton Overland
Park Hotel. Joyce and Stan Zeldin are chairmen of the
event; Karen Glickstein is serving as vice chairman.
"Mel is Village Shalom's goodwill ambassador," said Matt
Lewis, President and CEO. "His daily mission is to bring
laughter to everyone with a joke or humorous comment residents, visitors and staff alike. Beneath his comic exterior,
though, is a hard-working, dedicated volunteer who truly
cares about Village Shalom and all the people whose lives
are touched by it."
Mallin and his wife of 61 years, Lore, have been independentliving (Villa) residents at Village Shalom for nine years.
Mallin founded the Villa Residents Association and serves as
its long-term president. He also co-founded Village Shalom's
"humor project," and regularly visits residents throughout
the continuing-care retirement community campus to tell
jokes, lead sing-alongs and spread cheer. He has served
as president of Kehilath Israel Synagogue and the Jewish
Vocational Service, and as a board member of the Hyman
Brand Hebrew Academy. His commitment to improving the
world, one person at a time, includes mentoring a young
man for the last seven years, from third grade to his current
sophomore year at Rockhurst High School.
The Stephen J. Schoenfeld Volunteer Recognition Award
commemorates the exceptional dedication of its namesake
to the needs and concerns of Jewish seniors in Kansas City.
After graduating from the University of Kansas in 1972,
Stephen became an active volunteer at Village Shalom's
predecessor organization, Shalom Geriatric Center, where
he served as one of the youngest members of its board of
directors. His life ended tragically in 1989, at age 39. This
award perpetuates Stephen's memory while encouraging
