RABBI DR. GIDEON M. GOLDENHOLZ
This year the Holiday of Tu Bishvat
will be observed on Thursday January
16th 2014. It is a wonderfully relevant
ancient and modern celebration.
The Mishna (written in the 2nd century C.E.) teaches that “there are four
new years…” to the Jewish calendar.
Among those: “the fifteenth of Sh’vat
is the new year for trees” .
Tu Bishvat (the fifteenth day of the
Hebrew month of Shvat) is at its heart
a recognition of the passing seasons, a means through which to
increase our awareness of nature’s rebirth, and an expression of our
gratitude for the ability of the natural world to provide sustenance
for us.
In recognition of this wondrous reality, Jewish tradition over the
millennia has been to partake of fruits (in particular those associated with the land of Israel: figs, dates, pomegranates, olives,
grapes) as a means to unify ourselves with the agricultural reality
so central to our tradition.
In the 16th century the Kabbalists created the Tu Bishvat
Seder, transforming an agrarian holiday into a celebration of life
itself. The tree celebrating its new year came to be understood as
representing the Tree of Life. the Seder is meant to bring us
greater awareness of the world around us.
Today, in addition to the mystical traditions of the Tu Bishvat
Seder, environmental awareness has come to play a large role in
the celebration of Tu Bishvat. Many have the tradition to plant
trees, donate to environmental causes, dedicate themselves to a
more environmentally conscious lifestyle, or simply spend a little
time in nature among the trees.
I want to wish you a joyous celebration of Tu Bishvat as we integrate the traditional, mystical and contemporary observance

PRESIDENT DR. LARRY MARKS
This is an unusual year in that we are
approaching the “secular” Holiday Season, but have already completed celebrating Hanukkah as well as our “Las
Vegas” night several weeks ago. There
is a different feeling about this time of
year when our friends and neighbors
have a more positive outlook, are kinder
toward each other, and in general, seem
to be kinder and happier. As a Temple
family, I am all for celebrating any and
every Simcha available, from Birthdays to Anniversaries, from
Baby Namings to Bar and Bat Mitzvot and everything in between.
It allows us to realize how lucky we really are that we have our
health, a wonderful Jewish community with whom we can celebrate Simchot, and a Temple family who is there to support us in
our time of need. To me, this is what our Temple Sinai family is all
about.
On December 25th, we will have had our annual Klezmer concert, when we honor the memory of Rabbi Yitzchak Goldenholz,
of blessed memory with an afternoon of beautiful music, singing
and dancing. Our own Stanley Lepolstat has taken it upon himself to Chair this event, year after year, and it has grown into one
of the great Simchas and fundraisers for the Temple.
On March 8, 2014, we will have our annual Dinner Dance
where we will be honoring Drs. Beth and Howard Braver, Jill
Zeller, and Shammai Taplin for their hard work and dedication to
making Temple Sinai the fantastic shul that it is. I encourage all of
you to participate in this wonderful event by attending, helping to
plan it or using their example to inspire you to increase your level
of participation in any way you can. Attend our daily minyan and
Shabbat services, volunteer in the office, join one of our committees; anything you can do to help take ownership of our synagogue
and help us to improve what we do.
In closing, I want to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful
secular New Year and hope that all of your dreams and wishes
come true.
B’Shalom,
Larry

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Harry Silverman
It’s hard to believe that winter is upon
us and it’s already January. Seems like we
just finished the High Holy Days and it
was Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and now
January. As they say, “time flies when
you’re having fun.” Temple Sinai really is
a fun place. There’s so much happening.
If you haven’t been around lately, you definitely should stop by.
As I write these words, it’s a bit more
quiet than usual. Our schools are closed
for the winter holidays, so we don’t have the excitement of 150 children. But, our daily minyan always has a nice group for breakfast, and
out caterer keeps the ballroom occupied with weddings and parties.
Also, our wonderful staff and volunteers keep working on programs
and services that provide spiritual nourishment for our members and
much needed funds for our temple.
Plans for our new Early Childhood Center and the rental of our existing school building to BridgePrep Academy Charter School are
progressing nicely. BridgePrep will begin registration in early 2014
with an opening of school in August. Construction of our new school
building should begin in a couple of months also with a projected
opening in late summer. While we will all face some logistical challenges during the construction of our new school, the addition of a
first-rate dual language charter school to our campus and the opening of a brand new, state-of-the-art early childhood center will greatly
enhance the activities and the image of Temple Sinai. Our future is,
indeed, rosy.
Before you know it, Purim will be upon us. Temple Sinai will hold
another first-class Purim Carnival, although it will be somewhat modified due to expected construction. However, we are working with
other Conservative congregations in Broward County to add a Purim
afternoon program at the BB&T Center for activities and a Florida
Panthers game. More details will be shared with you shortly.
But, before we get to celebrate Purim, we get to celebrate at Temple Sinai’s annual dinner dance, which this year will be a masquerade
ball. This year, we honor Drs. Beth and Howard Braver, as well as Jill
Zeller and Shammai Taplin. All of them have done so much for our
temple. Please make plans to show your appreciation for everything
that they have done for us by buying (and selling) ads in our journal
and attending this wonderful event.
I hope that you enjoyed the winter holidays and that I will have the
opportunity to see you around Temple Sinai over the coming months.

“I Never Had a Bat Mitzvah”
This past year I watched friends celebrate their Bat Mizvot, their comingof-age. However, these educated,
successful, ethical women came of age
a while ago; they were amazing before
they ever read from the Torah. So why
bother with adult B’nei Mitzvot ceremonies?
When writing the Babylonian Talmud, the rabbis chose 13 as the proper
age to study the commandments. No
accompanying ceremony—the boy’s father merely thanked God
for relieving him of his son’s obligations. The boy now officially
counted in a minyan. That’s it. Rabbis calculated girls’ maturation
to come earlier, thus the 12-year-old Bat Mitzvah. Boys’ reading
from the Torah after their 13th birthday first appears in the 14th
century, 700 years later. Yet maturation still occurred: one becomes
a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, “son/daughter of commandment,” ceremony or
not.
Public recognition of the Bat Mitzvah began earlier than you
might think: records exist in 19th century writings from Italy,
Poland, France, and Bagdad. Early 20th Century references come
from Germany, Egypt, and the United States. The first modern
Bat Mitzvah ceremony, however, took place in 1922, New York
City: Judith Kaplan read from a printed Chumash rather than a
Torah scroll and stood in front of the Bimah rather than on it.
The egalitarian service we recognize first occurred in 1940 and
spread in the 1960s, mostly within the Conservative Movement.
By the 1970s and 80s, Bat Mitzvah celebrations were a given except within Orthodox communities.
Ironically, the first girl to experience a modern Bat Mitzvah ceremony did not view her experience as momentous: remembering
that day, Kaplan said, “No thunder sounded, no lightning struck.”
At her second Bat Mitzvah ceremony 70 years later, reading directly from the Torah, she acknowledged the significance of the
occasion. By that time, the adult “B’nei Mitzvot” concept was already two decades old, having first been performed at Brandeis
University in 1971.
Adult “B’nei Mitzvot” don’t accept Jewish responsibilities subsequent to their ceremonies: their pursuit indicates that they have
already done so. They deliberately embrace Jewish identity, Torah,
and religious services. What could a public celebration possibly
achieve?
At each adult ceremony I have attended, “… thunder sounded
and… lightning struck.” Recognition of their Jewish responsibilities both encourages adult “B’nei Mitzvot”—who model perseverance, strength, and self-worth—and inspires others. As
individuals and as communities, as seculars and as Jews, we never
stop growing.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL NEWS
Karen Kaye, Director
Long before there was an Earth Day, there
was Tu B’Shevat, the holiday when Jewish people appreciate living things. Through the years,
the holiday of Tu B’Shevat has become synonymous with bal tashcit, which means do not
waste or destroy. On Tu B’Shevat we teach our
children to appreciate all that the trees give us:
food, shade, oxygen, good soil and shelter; and
we think about ways to take care of our earth.
Jewish tradition teaches us not to pollute and
to conserve natural resources.
On Sunday, January 12th, the Religious School will be celebrating
Judaism’s eco friendly holiday, Tu B’Shevat. Religious School Parents
are invited to join us for this family fun event. Students will meet in
their classrooms from 10:00 to 10:15 and then join their parents in the
Youth Auditorium and outside for a variety of activities related to Tu
B’Shevat.
Our next Kiss Shabbat service will be held on Friday, February 7th
in our Youth Auditorium. Our kosher vegetarian pot luck dinner begins at 6:30 P.M., and the service begins at 7:00 P.M. Our Kiss Shabbat service is a warm and friendly Shabbat experience and all are
welcome.
After the winter break, Religious School will resume on Sunday, January 5th.

Joan and Paul joined the Temple a few years
ago after visiting our Friday night service a
few times. It was a good and easy match.
Joan says: I am married to Paul, my one and only. We are the
parents of two wonderful adult children, Jeff and Sam and three
super grandchildren. I have wanted to become a Bat Mitzvah
for many years and became inspired by a coming together of
many experiences at Temple Sinai that told me now was the
right time.
Personally, I enjoy cooking , baking, reading, playing with
our dogs and spending time with my family. Family is very
important to me and central to my taking this step now. I have
found a new family in being a member of Temple Sinai. I'm
treasurer of Sisterhood; participate in the Tuesday Women's
Spirituality Class with the Rabbi, help with the Share-a-Meal
program and get involved in other activities.
Paul and I love being part of the Temple Sinai family!

KASSELMAN SCHOOL NEWS
Donna Anton, Director
Non-Jewish Teachers in
a Jewish School
As a follow-up from my last article
about Interfaith Families/Non-Jewish
Children, I would like to offer these
thoughts about Non-Jewish Teachers in
a Jewish school.
A non-Jewish teacher can be a real
asset in a Jewish school. Such a person
provides diversity within the staff and
enabling the entire staff to learn from one another. Our non-Jewish teachers are truly a plus here at the Kasselman School. They
have learned about the Jewish culture and religion and have increased their Jewish knowledge. The teachers have also enriched
their encounters with the Jewish community at large and their understanding of the Jewish way of life. A non-Jewish teacher comes
in with different viewpoints; which can cause other staff members
to think through their own opinions and can help to put a new
spin on old ideas. A non-Jewish teacher can also act as a connection to the non-Jewish children in our program.
Furthermore, a non-Jewish teacher is often an eager learner.
Recognizing that she is now being required to teach Judaism, this
teacher will ideally ask lots of questions and seek out opportunities
to learn more about Judaism and the Jewish holidays. These teachers sometimes possess no less Jewish knowledge than some of their
Jewish counterparts. Jewish teachers with weak backgrounds can
often learn from their non-Jewish colleagues and become motivated learners themselves.
To a degree, what makes a Jewish school Jewish is not the formal curriculum, but the level of Yiddishkeit that is present. It is the
way a teacher will automatically exclaim “Mazel tov!” when a child
announces that they just became a big brother/ sister, or the way
that Jacob is asked to sit on his tushie at group time. It doesn’t require a lot of Jewish knowledge to infuse a classroom with Yiddishkeit; rather, it takes an almost unconscious familiarity with
Jewish ways of being.
While it is certainly the job of a non-Jewish teacher in a Jewish
school to create a Jewish atmosphere and to teach and transmit
Jewish culture and religion, such a teacher should never lie about
who she is. Young children are very much caught up in the process
of figuring out who they are. One of the ways they do this is by
comparing what they know about themselves to what they know
about others.
Let me end by saying that ALL of our teachers, Jewish or nonJewish, have given their heart and soul to this school and without
their sheer dedication and enormous love for our children we would
not have our outstanding reputation. I would like to thank all of
our teachers for making our Kasselman School the best it can be.
Donna

SISTERHOOD NEWS
Sisterhood's smashing Paid-Up event was followed in November
with the revival of our Book Group featuring author, Rochelle Weinstein, reviewing the first of her two novels, What We Leave Behind. Rochelle, who lives in Miami, was delightful, and very well
received. See the photos on page 9.
The toys we collected that night in our annual Chanukah toy
drive, were delivered to Jewish Family Services. They were given to
families who earn too much to get benefits but not enough to live
on. In other words they "fall between the cracks. Social worker,
Barbara Bailin always knows where they are needed most. Thank
you to all the sisters who brought or sent an unwrapped toy.
RESCHEDULING: With Chanukah so early and entangled
with Thanksgiving, the Sisters decided to reschedule our Karaoke

Origins of the Tu B'Shevat Seder:
In Tsafat, the city that became known for its
community of mystics in the sixteenth century —
they developed a Tu b’Shevat seder, along the lines
of the Passover seder, emphasizing the fruits of
Eretz Yisrael. In their mystical formulations that
focused on repairing (tikkun) the world, they believed
that they could recreate the idyllic world of the
Garden of Eden through the acts of celebrating
and eating the fruits of Israel.
Sisterhood members: free
Non-Sisterhood members: $5 suggested donation

SOCIAL ACTION
DECEMBER SHARE-A-MEAL: WE DID IT!
We had a very interesting group of workers this feeding and are grateful for each and every one of them. In my stead was my
husband, Larry, and son Andrew whom I want to thank for putting up with all the hassle that goes with getting ready for this kind
of project. At least a quarter of our garage houses the supplies we use over and over for Share-a-Meal. And secondly I want to
thank those who take up the slack when I am out of town, as I was on Dec. 15th. You cannot plan for funerals.
Steve and Paula continue to pick up the bread and dessert from Entenmann's Thrift on Pembroke Road. Entenmann's has been
donating the dessert for the whole 30 years that we have been doing this program. Big thanks.
I get a little anxious at this time of year, wanting it all to go smoothly at a time when lots of our volunteers are out of town. The
following rose to the occasion and we appreciate you: Our regulars—Audrey Branse, Linda Levine, Lois and Mark Nonkin, Barbara
and Hy Rosen, Ric Bauchner, Larry Wiener, the whole Passer Family: Bill, Jami with kids Carly, Rachel and Sari; Diane Snyder,
Fred Hochsztein and daughter A. J., Joan and Paul Lefkowitz, Jonathan, Annie, Shira and Natan Garber, Paula Platt, Ben and Eva
Fireman and new volunteer Stephen Jackendoff.
Jonathan again brought helpers from his work, Connection for Business: Richard Soffin, Karen Rudolph and Gail Vaughn. From
friends of Connections were: Mike Schunk, Jane Greco and Babette Soffin who is Richard's mother. Welcome! Join us any time—
we can always use the help.
Our group was able to give out nice Goodie Bags, not just toiletries, for the holidays. We added note pads, a candy cane, a piece
of chololate gelt, and other non-toiletry items. Our supplies are now depleted, so bring them in to the Temple office as you return
from winter travels. We now need to replenish our toiletry supply. Thank you to all who brought or dropped off eggs on the day of
program and supplies to the Temple. It really helped and please continue to do so.
Wishing you a beautiful secular New Year. Come check us out, have some fun, and do a mitzvah (commandment) at the same
time. See schedule below.

COMMUNITY NEWS
The State of Israel does not recognize Conservative (Masorti) Judaism.
This is our chance to build an Israel that reflects our values.
Conservative (Masorti) Judaism, which is not recognized by the State
of Israel, receives just $20,000 a year in government funding, compared
to Orthodox and Haredi institutions, which receive close to $500 million. Masorti institutions, which further Conservative Judaism's values
of egalitarianism, inclusion, and pluralism, are at an extreme disadvantage.
How does this affect us as American Jews? How does this affect
Jews in Israel?
This affects who is counted as a Jew when making aliyah. Israelis
who wish to marry may be forced to use an Orthodox Rabbi, or even
marry outside of the country. It affects every facet of Jewish life in Israel, from cradle to grave. While Masorti institutions struggle simply to
make ends meet, other sections of Israeli society, such as Haredim (who
do not typically give back) receive heavy subsidies.
Masorti’s NOAM members protesting unequal government funding
What Are We Doing About It?
Masorti has seeded almost 70 unique kehillot (communities), built
nursery schools, started day camps, youth and young adult programs,
and army volunteer programs. Masorti is providing a choice for tens of
thousands of Israelis who, thanks to our efforts, have discovered there is
a way to synthesize their Jewish
beliefs with their
modern values of
inclusion, egalitarianism, and
pluralism.

Bollywood in Hollywood
Pack your bags for another amazing evening of travel
when Sylvia Berman and Cheri Rothschild present
"Bollywood in Hollywood"
on Wednesday evening, February 5th at 7:30 pm.
Did you know Jews have lived in India for thousands of years?
India, because of its religious tolerance rooted in the Hindu religion, has been a
shelter for Jews escaping persecution. The earliest of our people came to India
from the Galilee 2,000 years ago. More came after the destruction of the
2nd Temple in 70 CE and more during different eras thereafter. By the late 18th
Century Bombay (renamed Mumbai) had the largest Jewish community.
Today, however, only a few thousand remain.
Come join us as we learn history, explore today's travel adventures
with a recent tourist, and sample the taste of Indian cooking.
The cost of the evening is $10.00 per person
or $18.00 per couple.
Please let us know you will be there.
You may contact the temple office at 954-987-0026
with your reservation.

HAZAK REJUVENATED!
Read below what great programs you missed.
Don’t miss out in 2014!
2013 was an active year for Sinai's HAZAK group of "young" seniors. We started in February with Rabbi Joseph
Hurwitz as our guest speaker. Rabbi Hurwitz, known as "the Rabbi to the Stars", entertained us with delightful
stories and humor about the Hollywood stars he associated with during his years in California.
In April we saw a movie called "Sugihara", about a little-known heroic Japanese diplomat in Europe who saved
thousands of Jewish lives during World War ll by issuing them illegal/fraudulent exit visas. This presentation was
done, at the wonderful suggestion of Rabbi Goldenholtz, as a
Yom Hashoah program for the entire congregation and held in
the main sanctuary.
In May we were privileged to have as our guest speaker the
noted and popular, Dr. Abraham Gittelson, teacher, lecturer and
humorist. Dr Gittelson told us of, among other things, the
Amazing Achievements of Israel.
Our summer program on August 4th was a learning experience. Long time banker, Mr.John Primeau and associates, informed us about Bank Fraud and Schemes (geared particularly
to seniors but applicable to everyone).
In October, we held a successful paid-up membership (three course) dinner party (no cost, just pay your nominal 2013/14 dues). We had a sing along with Dr. Lenny Kessler at the keyboard, playing many well-known show
tunes.
In December we had another successful program, given to us by Mr. Joe Schwartz, Broward Volunteer Manager
for the Florida Senior Medicare Patrol Program (SMP). His topic was "Protect Yourself Against Medicare Fraud,
Abuse and Healthcare Identity Theft".
All our meetings include a delicious brunch/lunch at a very nominal price. They are generally held in the Youth
Auditorium on Sundays. At each meeting we award free door prizes and hold a 50/50 raffle. We have a small, but
dedicated steering committee. Our regulars include (in alphabetical order) Shari Balmuth, Lois and Lloyd Edelstein, Randee and Mike Eibeschitz, Naomi and Mal Golden, Barbara and Hy Rosen, Judy Schwartz, Estelle Slomovitz, and Joan Spierer. Anyone interested in serving on this committee would be welcome. Our purpose is to
expand our minds and our friendships and have a good time!! Membership is open to all Sinai members (55+) and
their friends.

Next event will be Sunday, February 23rd. Program TBA.
