As anyone who has ever sent a loved one a playlist on Valentine’s Day knows, we don’t need to use our own words to express heartfelt emotions. We can find ourselves in the words and music of great artists. This is the theory behind the Passover Seder. We recite words that we didn’t write and we tell a story that we didn’t experience ourselves. Yet the Haggadah tells us: “In every generation each of us should try to feel as if (in Hebrew k’ilu) we personally left Egyptian slavery.” The ‘as if’ of Passover is a key to understand everything we do Jewishly. All of Jewish practice is a game of pretend. Here are just a few examples: • • • • When we turn off all the lights at Havdalah, we are imagining the world before Creation, and then we are re-enacting God’s first creative act, the making of light. When we stand up straight for the first time in the morning, we are acting out the experience of moving from feeling low to being uplifted, in the hope that we will lift someone’s spirits today. When we sit in a sukkah, we are acting out the experience of being homeless in the hope that it will spur us to help people who live in a sukkah all year round. On Shabbat, we pretend that we, our friends and family are perfect just as we are. The goal of Jewish practice is to induce an emotion in a way that will change us in some small way. The emotion could be anger, fear, or joy. You might ask: but, how can we just produce an emotion? The answer: actors do it all the time. And, so do we when we watch them. We feel sadness and excitement for people who are not real. And, we believe the experience makes us better. Why? Perhaps because empathy is at root a game of pretend. The Torah says “You know the heart of the stranger, because you were strangers in Egypt.” We’re more likely to be kind to someone if we can imagine ourselves in their shoes. So, this Passover, let’s work on perfecting our ‘as if’ skills. When it comes to Jewish practice, all the world is a stage, and we are the actors. -Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum CANTOR KURLAND'S SABBATICAL Bon voyage to Cantor and Sandy on their upcoming trip to Israel during April, May and June.

D. CANDIDATE, ELIYAHU KRIGEL JEA HOLDS 64th ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN NEW JERSEY When I first became a director of education in 2000, I immediately joined the Jewish Educators Assembly (JEA). The JEA is the professional organization that supports the educators of the Conservative movement. I am so appreciative that the HNT board and community encouraged my involvement and participation in the JEA conference in January. The four-day gathering brought together congregational school principals, heads of Solomon Schechter Day Schools, early childhood directors, bureau and agency personnel and family and informal educators from all across North America and Israel. I joined the JEA board of directors last year because the JEA has its collective finger on the pulse of Jewish education. Being on the board exposes me to all the religious schools across the country in a very informative and positive way. as a mark of honor and distinction. Earning the CJE is based on educational experience, academic study, and a demonstration of commitment to the goals of the JEA. The conference provided a rich opportunity for professional growth, exploration of new trends and ideas, and acquisition of concrete programs and materials to bring home to each school and synagogue. Additional information about the JEA can be found at www.jewisheducators.org. GARINIM - YOUNG FAMILIES Garinim families had a blast at the "How I Became a Pirate" play in Redmond in honor of Purim in March. We will be getting together on April 3 for some Passover fun at a site TBD. For info about the Garinim program, please contact our chair Karen Langman at [email protected]. Tot Shabbat Fridays April 1, 8, 15 & 22 • 9:45 AM – 10:30 AM • SJCC Join Moreh Eliyahu and Morah Chava at the SJCC for an opportunity to sing, dance, move our bodies, and participate together in welcoming Shabbat with joy and happiness. Babies and parents are welcome to participate. Shabbat for Kids Saturday, April 30, May 7, and May 21• 10:30 AM – 12:15 PM Join us for this special time of putting the theory of Shabbat to practice with a full heart! Open to 5th grade and below. The theme of this year’s conference was “Back to the Future – Integrating Basic Skills with the New Models of Jewish Education.” Torah Lishma study sessions were led by Dr. Saul Wachs. Dr. Wachs is also my professor in the Ed.D. program at Gratz College. Among many other insights, Dr. Wachs spoke about the contrast distinguishing the job of a barber and the job of a teacher. A barber knows immediately if they have done a great job. After the barber is finished cutting the hair, the outcome is measurable and very visual. Someone either likes their hair after a haircut or doesn’t like it. Teachers who work in our Jewish schools however don’t always see the difference they make in the lives of their students. We give it our all and hope for the best but the outcomes are often vague and illusive. As a school that sets standards and sticks to goals, we monitor and assess progress by looking at the student and family as a whole unit. At FRS we work with parents as partners in raising selfreliant Jews who are critical thinkers because they ask good questions. During the conference, I was also honored to become a Conservative Jewish Educator. The title of CJE is intended to recognize attaining a standard of achievement in the field of Conservative Jewish education and stands 4 Jewish Overnight Camps & Camperships Due to the generosity of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and the HNT campership program, the financial aspect of Jewish overnight camp is no longer a barrier for participation.

ADULT EDUCATION Jewish Spirituality guest speaker: Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum Sunday, May 1, 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM Join Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum for an exploration of the why, what and how around Jewish blessings after meals. We'll do a quick survey of the source-basis for birkat ha-mazon, its structure, and some alternative options for shorter brachot we can say after we eat. Then we'll do some singing together (maybe you'll learn a new melody or two!), and conclude with concrete ideas for how we can incorporate a higher level of consciousness around food into our busy daily routines. 6 In our rich, diverse Jewish tradition, there are many things we can’t yet “know.” We haven’t figured out if we believe there truly will be an End of Days, and if so, what it could look like. Some await a messianic figure who will arrive to usher it in, and there is intense speculation as to who or what that messiah is, and, even more importantly, whether the dead will be resurrected. Come and explore some tasty ancient and modern Jewish braaaaaaiiiiins on this matter… We keep this event free and collaborative by contributing a dessert, snack, or drink!

She must choose between her heart’s wish and her family duty. May 18: My Knees Were Jumping - A 1996 American documentary In the nine months just prior to World War II nearly 10,000 children were sent, without their parents, to Great Britain from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. These children were rescued by the Kindertransport movement. Most of the children never saw their parents again. The story of the Kindertransports is an extraordinary piece of history-- unknown far too long. June 15: The Nasty Girl - A 1990 German film with English subtitles Loosely based on a true story, this film follows Sonja, a small-town teen, as she enters an essay contest and ends up researching her city's involvement with the Third Reich. While the town has a reputation for resisting Nazi influence, Sonja discovers that many locals actually collaborated with the Gestapo and had deep roots within the Third Reich. Eventually, Sonja's investigation leads some citizens to try to block her efforts to uncover the truth.
