KEHILATH ISRAEL’S
Vol. 47, Issue 6/7

June-July, 2011
The word “synagogue” in Hebrew has three
definitions. It is a “house of prayer,” a “house
of study,” and a “house of gathering.”
Historically the synagogue was created
around the time of the destruction of the
Second Temple 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem
when it was obvious that a third Temple would
not be rebuilt in at least the foreseeable future.
Of these three definitions of a synagogue, the first, “house
of prayer,” is the most important. No matter how exciting a
synagogue’s programming and social action agenda or any
other issue can be, its offering of public prayer services is,
after all, what houses of worship are all about.
K.I. has always prided itself that we never miss a minyan,
and we do not. This is a public service that we provide for
the entire community. Members of other congregations as
well as our own come to K.I. for yahrzeit and other occasions,
knowing that regardless of the weather or the hour we will
have a reliable minyan. This past winter saw numerous blizzards where no one in the community made minyan. Several
of our sister congregations actually cancelled services. We
never missed once!
After all this bragging, I have to admit that the minyan
has been very challenged over the last couple of months at
K.I. There is good reason for the problem, but it needs to
be solved! Six or eight of our regulars, most of whom came
morning and evening, have either passed on or are too old or
ill to attend. That number makes a tremendous difference in
a small group creating the minyan.
Kehilath Israel Synagogue is not just a congregation; it is
a family. Generally we do whatever we do fairly well, and
we are proud of it and have been for over 100 years. Come
help our family!
What are you doing at 6:30 in the morning?! Maybe
sleeping, maybe hitting the snooze button for an extra time,

Steve Osman is taking a hiatus from his column this month
and instead is introducing Dr. Michael Sokol and Rachel
Macek, two of the vice presidents to the congregation.
Hello. My name is Michael Sokol and I am
proudly serving my third administration at
K.I. Synagogue with a portfolio that includes
ritual matters, adult education, and most recently
membership. My wife Shari, and three children,
Alex, Felicia, and Amanda have been members
of our wonderful synagogue for approximately
14 years. While my mother likes to tell me I
was found in a cabbage patch, I can tell you I was raised in
an extended family living situation. I grew up in a duplex in
Fairlawn, Ohio with my mother, father, and me downstairs
and my aunt, grandfather, and cousin upstairs. The Jewish
community was significantly smaller in Akron than in Kansas City, and I was only one of 10 Jewish students in a class
of 350 graduates from my public high school. Nevertheless,
I had another extended family in Akron, and that included
all the members of Beth El Synagogue, where we went as a
family nearly every Shabbat and holiday and where I went to
Hebrew school. I experienced another extended Jewish family
at the Akron Jewish Community Center, where I played tennis
and basketball (not too successfully, I might add), swam, and
worked as a camp counselor. My grandfather was one of the
founding members of the Akron Jewish Community Center
and my aunt was a former president there. My parents, aunt,
and grandfather all served various committee roles at Beth El
Synagogue and my great-uncle was a former president there.
My mother, who is now widowed, has an active social life
because of friends she and my father made through chavurot at our synagogue in Akron, Ohio. These are the same
chavurot that my co-officer David Magariel spoke of in
his Focal Point column most recently. Chavurot can help
individuals and families build friendships that can last a
lifetime. All you have to do is mention to any of your officers that you have a core group who might make up a chavurah and we will help you initiate a K.I. chavurah group.
K.I. actually affords you other ways of adding to your family and building friendships. Answer your curiosity (or your
“doubting self”) and participate in one of the many educational
programs given by our clergy, staff, or visiting faculty. Step
out of your comfort zone and join or lead a part of a service
at K.I. I know you will be pleasantly surprised, not only at
yourself, but also at the friendships you are likely to develop

CANTOR’S CORNER
A shul has become inundated with mice and the Board doesn’t
know how to get rid of them. They call an exterminator, but to
no avail. Finally, the Rabbi came up with a solution. He gave
them all a Bar/Bat Mitzvah and they were never seen of again.
In Hebrew, a synagogue is called a beit k’nesset, or house of assembly. Although the prayer service is the main activity, the real
purpose of a shul is to bond the Jewish community together. If
you think about years past, all socializing took place in shul. There
were dinners, youth activities, dances, men’s club, sisterhood, holiday celebrations,
adult/youth education, weddings and b’nai mitzvah, the list goes on and on. Most
friendships revolved around the shul, most people met their future spouse at a shul
and most people strengthened their commitment to Judaism via the shul.
Unfortunately, in so many synagogues throughout the country, Bar/Bat Mitzvah
is the conclusion of a child’s Jewish education and exposure to our heritage. Yes,
we light a menorah on Chanukah, and we sit around the Seder table on Pesach,
but what do our children really know about living a Jewish life. What real value of
Judaism have we instilled in our children? Have we demonstrated anything positive
about being Jewish, or have we only conveyed the prohibitions of Judaism. Do our
children mostly socialize with Jewish kids or are most of their friends gentiles? And
finally, what do our children see us doing to enhance our relationship with G-d?
As a Jewish community, we need to get “back to the future!” When I first arrived
at K.I. fourteen years ago, our shul was bustling with people and activities. We had
250-275 people attending Shabbat services on a regular basis; we had a nursery
school of 80-100 children and had 65 children in our religious school. I’m aware
that the demographic of the community has changed over the years, however, as
a synagogue; we need to get back to basics. Attending services on a regular basis,
religious school training for our children, adult education classes and just being
involved must become a top priority in our families’ lives to insure the future of K.I.

WHY IS IT CUSTOMARY TO EAT
DAIRY ON SHAVUOT?
It has become customary on Shavuot to eat at least one
dairy meal during the holiday. Some see this as symbolizing
“a land flowing with milk and honey.” Others point out that
the very same verses that speak of bringing “the choicest
first fruits of the land unto the house of the Lord your G-d” in
celebration of Shavuot also stress that “You must not boil a kid
in its mother’s milk.” (Ex. 23:19, 34:26.) On the basis of the
latter part of these verses, the Oral Torah based its prohibition
of eating meat and milk together. Hence, a separate dairy
meal is deliberately eaten to emphasize the authenticity of
the Oral Torah.
Tisha B’Av (the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av) is
a day of mourning during which Jews fast and bewail the
destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. Along with Yom
Kippur, it is the only full day fast on our calendar. This fact
alone should impress upon us the importance that is placed
on the observance of this day for all Jews. The preceding
period, known as the “three weeks” that began with the
Fast of Tammuz on Tuesday, July 19, is considered to be the
saddest time in the Jewish calendar when all evidence of joy
disappears until the conclusion of Tisha B’Av.
Since World War II, many Jews have chosen Tisha B’Av as
the day to commemorate the (Yahrzeit) loss of those family
members who were killed by the Nazis and their associates on
dates that are unknown. The Talmud states that G-d decreed
this particular day as a day of woe and misfortune in the very
beginning of Jewish history. According to this interpretation,
the ninth of Av was the day when the Jews in the desert of Sinai
bewailed their lot when the spies brought back bad tidings
from Canaan (Parshat Shelach). So G-d declared: “You cried
without cause; I will, therefore, make this an eternal day
of mourning for you.” And it was then that the decree was
ordered for the destruction of the Temple, and the scattering
of the Jews amongst the peoples of the earth.
SAVE THE DATE!
Rabbi Herbert Mandl will be teaching a one time class on Monday evening, August 1
at 7:00 p.m. in the Spitcaufsky Library entitled “Tish B’Av--Feast or Fast.”

can email the information to [email protected]
vcr vsu,
nity. Our parents and grandparents did
their share in the process, and now we
need to take hold of our responsibility
in continuing the chain.
In the fall, I will be initiating several
new programs aimed at increasing involvement at services. I will be starting
a trope class for men and women interested in chanting Torah and/or Haftarah.
For women who never had a Bat Mitzvah
ceremony, I will be starting an Adult Bat
Mitzvah class that will culminate with
a Shabbat morning ceremony. For men
who have never had the opportunity to
chant their Bat Mitzvah haftarah since
they were 13, why wait until you are 83
to have a second Bar Mitzvah? I will
help you re-learn your haftarah so you
can celebrate your 2nd Bar Mitzvah now.
For those in the congregation who want
to learn how to lead services, whether
weekday or Shabbat, I will work with
you. Imagine the impact on your children and/or grandchildren when they
see you taking a leadership role in shul.
Please contact me if you would like to
participate in any of the above programs.
Let us work together to infuse our
lives with yiddishkite and turn our shul,
our homes and our families into B’nai
Yisrael – the children of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai!

Rabbi Mandl’s....continued from page 1
as a result of such personal efforts. Undoubtedly, you will
want to share your new found enthusiasm and confidence
with others and bring them to K.I. Synagogue. You are our
best ambassador to show others the spiritual, educational,
and social experience that can be obtained at our synagogue.
My wish for our extended K.I. family is that there remain
a steady flow of members, families of members, friends of
members, and visitors coming through the doors to experience
what you and your extended K.I. family have to offer. You
are the best candidate to make that happen.
Dr. Michael Sokol
or maybe working out at the JCC? At 7:00 a.m. your fellow
congregants who are wanting to say Kaddish for a parent, as
many of you have done, need that extra bit of help that you
can provide even if it just once a month. Others provided
that service for many of you who have said Kaddish over the
years. Let us all rally around the cause and help those who
are saying Kaddish now by giving a day a week of committing
yourself to attending a service, or even just a service a month.
With the summer months coming and vacations of both staff
and congregants, the situation could worsen. We will not miss
a minyan. However, we really need to improve in this area.
In the next week or two we will be sending out a sign-up
sheet to the congregation. If you can help by plugging your
name into a specific spot on our chart for the months of June,
July and August, it would be a great help. We are also developing something similar on our Website which hopefully
will be available very soon. Let’s strengthen the minyan, the
backbone of what synagogue is all about.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Herbert J. Mandl, PhD

When Steve Osman asked me to
served on the Executive Board, I was
honored to be given the chance to serve
the congregation. Steve asked each
of us to give a brief summary of ourselves, so that all of the congregation
can get to know us a little better. I have
lived in Overland Park the majority my
life and grew up at Ohev Sholom. I
was very active in USY, which caused me to become more religious. While at Ohev, I taught Hebrew school, b’nai mitzvah
and adult Hebrew. I graduated from KU with undergraduate
and graduate degrees in education. I currently teach an 8th
grade engineering course in the Kansas City, Kansas Public
School, which is where I met my husband, Scott Macek.
About four years ago, I began attending some services at
K.I. and became a member about a year later. Soon after my
parents, Greg and Dori Quinn, also joined the synagogue.
My husband and I were married at K.I. a year and a half ago.
We regularly attend Shabbos and holiday services, which
have allowed us to build great relationships with other K.I.
members. My husband and I live close to the synagogue and
enjoy our walks home, many of which we share with Rabbi
Mandl and Cantor Shron. I’m excited about the coming year
and many of the ideas Steve has as president. I am co-chairing
the Women’s Initiatives Committee with Felicia Weiner and
would love to get input from other members for ideas. There
are still many of you I don’t know yet, but am hoping that
will change during the coming year.
