Reflecting on the tail-end of Café Israel (our new
take on Celebration Israel), I am struck by the
power of community and how, despite a myriad
of viewpoints and opinions, people are brought
together around a common celebration and are
able to connect on a very real, deep level. We had
such an incredible and joyous celebration, not
only celebrating the 68th anniversary of the
establishment of the State of Israel, but also
celebrating being together in our little Jewish
community in Asheville. It causes me to reflect
on the abundant opportunities our heritage and
tradition provide for us to connect in community,
as family, friends and beyond.
The truth is that Judaism cannot be lived in
isolation; it necessitates being together. Beyond
the holidays, ritualized fasts, various observances
of an obligatory nature, there have been so many
customs which have evolved over the millennia
which serve to remind us that we do not walk in
the world alone. Perhaps the reason that the tradition is so invested in reminding us, again and
again, of our need for community is precisely because it is such a typical state for human beings
to feel alone in the world. Whether it is because
we are literally alone or feel emotionally or
spiritually isolated, Judaism forces us to experience the world in community.
In celebrating and remembering the story of
Passover, we reflect on how we left servitude
together. In tracking the time, and literally counting the days, between Passover and Shavuot we
read the stories of the struggles and challenges
the Children of Israel experienced together. When
acknowledging the giving of Torah at Mount
Sinai on Shavuot, we contemplate the significance of the teaching that the entire Jewish people stood around the mountain together. In
mid-July, forty days following Shavuot, we mark
the fast of the 17th of Tammuz which not only
commemorates the breaching of the walls of
Jerusalem by the Romans, it also marks the return
of Moshe from Mount Sinai when he discovered
the people, together, worshipping the Golden
Calf. Through thick and thin, good times and notso-good times, we reach our best and sometimes
our not-so-much best, together. But that’s the
thing about community – not only does it have
the power to drag us down, it also has the power
to inspire us and motivate us.
One of the most powerful aspects for me in
traditional Jewish prayer is that we are all praying
alone in community, but the language of our
prayers is almost exclusively plural. OUR God,
OUR mis-steps, OUR striving, OUR desire for
connection. Why does Judaism and Jewish
culture/tradition push us toward experiencing the
world as community? Because it becomes a
vehicle to envision a world that values collective
action rather than individual triumph.
On that note, I want to take a moment to express
deep gratitude to each and every individual that
comes together to make CBI a thriving community. Without our volunteers we would not be able
to accomplish so much of what makes this community amazing – to be a truly caring, genuine,
welcoming, loving and intentional community
where people not only find their values reflected
but have a place to express their values.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for claiming
ownership over your community, for dedicating your
personal time for the benefit of everyone and for providing
so many ways to celebrate together and connect in
meaningful ways.
A monthly tour through the Siddur:
the meaning, significance, customs, laws,
history and choreography of prayer
Psalm 135, halleluyah, hallelu et shem hashem… As we have discussed in months past, the primary themes of Pesukei
D’Zimra are Creation, Exodus and the World that is Coming. Reciting Psalm 135 on Shabbat is the fusion of all of these
themes. According to the Vilna Gaon (Rabbi Eliyahu Zalman, 18th c. Lithuania), Shabbat is such an incredible gift because
it is from the wellspring of the World that is Coming…and is not for any other people…so we say this psalm on Shabbat
because it mentions Creation, which itself is the renewal, and the miracles and wonders the Holy One performed in Mitzrayim
also testify to the renewal of the world, and Shabbat teaches us about all of this. [Siddur Vilna] The psalm begins by recognizing the value of praising God, proceeds to reflect on the narrative first of Creation and then of Exodus; in the second half
the virtues of Judaism are extolled by proclaiming idols the handiwork of humans. Utilizing chiastic structure indicative of
many forms of Scriptural writing, it concludes as it began by expressing the value of praising God. Finally, in the very last
verse of the psalm, a connection is established to Zion and Jerusalem, testifying to the understanding that Jerusalem itself is
the fusion of Creation, Exodus and the World that is Coming. The end of the psalm is referenced in the Full Hallel recited
on Festivals and Hanukkah, although not quoted directly.
Next month …. Psalm 136

Friday Noon Study Group Updates
During the month of June, our informal discussion
group will spend the first two Fridays concluding
our exploration of Martin Buber’s I and Thou .
Please check the CBI Web Site and Weekly
Announcements for details, since we may conclude
our discussions of Buber earlier than expected.
Beginning on June 17
The Noon Study Group will start discussing the
BOOK OF HOSEA
This is the first of the books of the minor prophets (minor
because their books were shorter than those of Isaiah,
Jeremiah, and Ezekiel). Hosea, who lived during the 8th
century bce, was directed by God to marry a promiscuous
woman of ill-repute, and he did so. Using marriage as a
metaphor of the covenant between God and Israel, Hosea
elevated the Jewish religion to the altitude of ethical
monotheism, being the first to emphasize the moral side of
God's nature.
Our group meets every Friday from noon to one in the CBI
Social Hall. All are welcome to join us, regardless of
their level of expertise. Please bring whatever copy of
the bible you might have (the more different translations
the livelier the discussion). If you have questions, please
contact Jay Jacoby at [email protected].

Dinner and a Movie
Sunday, June 19, 2016, 6:00 pm, CBI Social Hall
A Borrowed Identity
Set in Israel of the 1980s and 1990s, the film portrays the interrelated identities of Jewish & Palestinian Israelis. The
viewer sees both the merging of cultures and the conflicts between the cultures. The inherent obstacles faced by an Arab
youth and his parent in trying to improve their life in a country where they are the minority are considerable; challenges
exist at school, home and in the workplace to fit in and to try to succeed. Despite his intellectual gifts, the Arab-Israeli
protagonist has many challenges to overcome integrating into Jewish-Israeli society.
To add to the conflicts, the romantic flame is kindled between Arab & Jew! Additional characters include an Arab grandmother, a feisty Arab father, an attractive female Jewish fellow student, and a homebound friend with muscular dystrophy.
One can see how not being a Jew in Israel is a handicap to any success in school or in the workplace. The plot gives the
viewer tangible conflicts to consider when viewing life in Israel for the non-Jew.

Boray Perie Hagafen
By: Ira Naiman
Here I am, with my glass of wine, watching Fiddler on the
Roof; I cannot remember how many times I have seen it.
Little by little my eyes glaze over, and slowly…slowly, I fall
asleep.
Suddenly, I hear some noise, turn around, and who is next to
me? Tevye, himself! He says to me, Nu, Value Wine Meister,
have you got any tips for me? I said, Tevye, I certainly do,
and I can’t help but break out into song: I see a red blend
from my roof; It’s such a lovely sight; I get it from my Ingles;
That’s open day and night.
Yes, Tevye, I found a new red blend made by the people from
Apothic. Based in Modesto, California, they find the best red
grapes each year, and make several red blends (Apothic Red
Blend, Apothic Dark, and Apothic Crush), all wonderful. The
one I’m singing about is called Apothic Crush. Deep purple
color, full mouth feel, smooth, tastes like dark berries,
caramel, plums and prunes. For me, wine and prunes is like
hitting the Daily Double. Tevye replied, I hear you, boychik.
A bargain when found on sale!
Again, I am overwhelmed and have to sing: I’m Value Man,
Value Man and I’ll make you a match; Boy, it’s a find; You
can buy by the batch; I’m Value Man, Value Man and it tastes
like a Rhone; And it won’t cost a lot of cash.
Tevye inquired, A Rhone? Yes, my friend, made like a Rhone,
I said. An explanation is in order. The Rhone valley is in
France. It runs from Lyon in the north to Arles in the south.
The area is broken into the Northern Rhone with very
expensive wine from Cote Rotie, Condrieu, Hermitage and
Cornas. The reds tend to be syrah based, although other
grapes can be added. The Southern Rhone red is grenache
based, and other grapes can be added. Chateauneuf Du-Pape
is the most famous and expensive section in the South. Other
areas are Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Cotes Du Ventoux. The
hillsides (and wine made from the less prestigious areas)
along the Rhone river in the South section are called Cotes
Du Rhone.
Tevye said, Sounds complicated. I replied, You know the
French, they stand on ceremony and love complication. Helps
create mystique. I continued, The wine I’m singing about
drove the French crazy; I believe there was even a lawsuit
which France lost. This great little wine is called, Goats Do
Roam, and it’s from South Africa. There is nothing that gets
a Frenchman to swing that long, hard bread he’s always
carrying, than when he thinks you’re infringing on his turf.
Excitedly Tevye exclaimed, Sounds dangerous, you can lose
an eye!
Goats Do Roam is made by Fairview Vineyards, in Fairview,
South Africa. It is made a little differently each year,
depending upon which grapes grew well. They will use
grenache, mourvedre, petit sirah, shiraz (called syrah in
France) and cinsaut grapes in varying percentages. It is ruby
red, medium body, and silky. You can taste red berries, plum,
slight vanilla, and has a cinnamon aroma. I find it has an
earthy flavor, which I like. The South Africa wine section in
your grocery may be small, so you may need to look closely
for it. Also, look out for angry Frenchmen swinging long,
hard bread.
Until next time.
Ingles cards are a no-cost fundraiser for Beth Israel.
Each month CBI members and friends buy $14,000
worth of Ingles gift cards to help raise $700 for Beth
Israel – over $8,000 annually. Ingles gift cards can be
used at any Ingles store for groceries, pharmacy items
and gasoline. Sign up now to receive your Ingles cards
automatically each month. The office also keeps an
inventory of Ingles cards for immediate purchase.
Contact the CBI office to get more information and/or
to participate at 252-8660 or [email protected].

Chesed: CBI’s Support Network
The Chesed Group is a caring team of congregants who are here for you. Coordinating the energy and abilities of the
entire CBI family, we help those in need. We are not professional caregivers but we are here to help however we can.
Here are some of the activities we can help with:
•
•
•
•
Visiting those who are sick
Helping set up for a bar mitzvah party
Providing transportation
Helping those in need find the right resources
•
•
•
•
Assembling a minyan for shiva
Preparing meals when needed
Shopping for the homebound
And many more services
But we can’t help unless we know who needs and wants support. So we need you to tell us. If we can help you with
something or if you are aware of someone who could use some help, please don’t hesitate to call Lee in the CBI office.
She will contact the appropriate member of the Chesed Group. All requests for confidentiality will be completely
honored.
Also, if you have not yet signed up for the Chesed Volunteer Pool, please let us know what you would be willing to do.
Again, contact Lee and let her know you would like to help. She’ll pass your name to the appropriate committee
member.
Finally, consider making a donation to the work of the Chesed committee. It will help us help you.

Our Madrichim Help You Create
Personal and Meaningful Programs at CBI
At its core, the CBI Madrichim initiative is designed to engage each and every
member on a personal level; empower each of us to create the Jewish experiences that are meaningful for us; and, in doing so, enhance our potential
for authentic Jewish expression. Success is when we realize that we benefit
as much by supporting another’s personal journey as we do from the program
itself. What is your passion or interest: a class, a club, a social action program,
a fundraiser, a tikkun olam project, a social event? Think about it. Then contact one of the folks below and let us help you make it happen!
