Adat Ari El Sisterhood Honors
Cantor Judy Dubin Aranoff and Rabbi Deborah Silver with the Chayai Olam Award
Torah Fund Dinner – Wednesday, February 3, 2016, 6:30 p.m.
Cantor Judy Dubin Aranoff
Rabbi Deborah Silver
It’s a great pleasure to announce that Sisterhood has selected
Cantor Judy Dubin Aranoff as one of this year’s Chayai Olam
award recipients. Cantor Aranoff’s dedication to Adat Ari El
and our Sisterhood shows how she truly deserves this honor.
Sisterhood is most pleased to honor
Rabbi Deborah Silver as one of this
year’s Chayai Olam recipients.
Cantor Aranoff assumed the position of Cantor of Adat Ari
El in July 2015, following 12 years as Associate Cantor.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Cantor Aranoff received a BA in Psychology,
a K-12 Teaching Credential in Music and in Life Sciences, and a Master’s
Degree in Music, all from UCLA. She is also a graduate of the Los Angeles
Hebrew High School and studied at the University of Judaism (now American
Jewish University) and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She received her
Hazzan’s certification from the Cantors Assembly in 2007.
Prior to and during her work as Associate Cantor, Cantor Aranoff taught
music in our Day School. She continues to work with our Day School and
JLC students, teaching them both how to read Torah and how to chant and
understand various tefillot.
In her pre-Adat Ari El life, Judy worked with the Young Musicians
Foundation and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute, taught at Fairfax
High School and at Heschel Day School, worked as a musical director in local
community theater, led High Holyday services at UCLA Hillel for over 20
years, and was the Director of the Nashir Choral Ensemble of the American
Jewish University for 23 years.
In the community at large, Cantor Aranoff currently sits on the Board of
Trustees of the Los Angeles Hebrew High School as the representative of the
Cantors Assembly. She is also the Associate Conductor and a singer in the
Los Angeles Zimriyah Chorale.
With a special love for singing Israeli songs, Cantor Aranoff has appeared
numerous times singing for various organizations and at different festivals. Her
recordings include a track on CA/USCJ Spirit Series Vol. 7, The Spirit of Israel
II, as well as on Vol. 12 of the same series, The Spirit of Hope and Healing.
Long before she began working here, Cantor Aranoff was part of this
community. She and her husband, Mel, became members and Shabbat
regulars soon after the birth of their first child in 1984. Clergy do not often
come from within the ranks of the Synagogue, and she knows from experience
what Adat Ari El means to its members.
Cantor Aranoff is the daughter of Rabbi Paul Dubin and Esther Dubin,

Cantor Aranoff, continued on page 4
Rabbi Silver holds a Master’s degree
in Hebrew Studies from Gonville and
Caius College, Cambridge, England, and a further MA
in Theory and Practice of Literary Translation from the
University of Essex, England. On leaving university,
she worked in the fields of theater and publishing, prior
to co-authoring “The Young Person’s Guide to Saving
the Planet” for Virago Press in 1990 and acting as
Senior English Editor of the Oxford English-Hebrew
Dictionary of Current Usage.
Rabbi Silver subsequently qualified as an attorney,
working for Mishcon de Reya, London, for four years
before leaving to take a post at BPP Law School, where
she was an Associate Professor, head of legal research,
and deputy head of teacher training. In her spare time
she discovered Limmud, the Jewish learning conference
that has since gone international.
Eventually the call of the rabbinate proved irresistible,
and Rabbi Silver packed up her books and crossed the
ocean to study at the Ziegler School of the American
Jewish University. While there, she was the co-editor,
with Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, of three volumes of
the Ziegler Adult Learning “Walking With” series and
taught Ethics at the Conejo Valley Florence Melton
Adult Mini-School.
Rabbi Silver’s interests include dance, music, and dogs
(in particular her Shih Tzu, Zalman). She is also a
newly qualified yoga instructor. She feels privileged
to be part of the team at Adat Ari El, and she hopes
that her rabbinate will embody the deep love of Jewish
learning—in all its many and varied forms—which has
characterized her journey to date.
Rabbi Silver has been the Assistant Rabbi at Adat Ari El
since her ordination in 2010. Sisterhood is thrilled that
she is here and is honored to recognize her as one of the
recipients of this year’s Chayai Olam award.
President’s Message
Rabbi’s Message
In the December Jewish Journal,
Dennis Prager wrote an opinion piece
on gender roles. To know him is to
not be surprised by his conclusions:
liberal Jews rely solely on the principle
of compassion and not Torah as their moral guide, that
this principle gets applied to only those individuals who
have been excluded from or oppressed by society, and that
focusing on compassion in this way undermines society.
This time around the venue for this trope is the Torah’s
verses on cross dressing and a synagogue’s hiring of a rabbi
who identifies as transgender.
The response was intense and passionate. The letters
to the editor accused Dennis Prager of being cruel,
bigoted, hateful, harmful, etc. The Jewish Journal was
criticized for even publishing the piece.
So many people have worked tirelessly on gender
equality and issues within their congregations, work
places, and across the country. And I agree with them.
Much has been done and much remains to be done.
And I will support them throughout.
And yet I am deeply troubled by the responses.
I disagree with most all of Dennis Prager’s article: both
his assumptions about Torah, as well as his applications
of its principles. However, his opinion is not beyond the
pale of Jewish thought and can be justified according to
authoritative Jewish sources. In addition, he himself has
never been accused of acting in a bigoted manner, and he
has expressed compassion and not hatred for those whose
lives do not conform to traditional Jewish norms.
Many, myself included, called out the right’s stridency
this summer when speaking of those who supported
the Iranian nuclear accord. We warned how unfair and
dangerous it was for the community’s health, that such
stridency inhibited dialogue and learning, and that
they weakened the very fabric of our communal cloth.
To a lesser degree the same is true here.
Our community’s and country’s wellbeing not only
rests on the principles by which we live, but also on
how we arrive at them. And we are impoverished
when unable to hear others...even if we believe them
to be utterly and completely wrong. It is essential that
we all model the appropriate manner with which to
respond to those people. I believe Rabbi Brad Artson
once quipped: “The Jewish community is only tolerant
when speaking about things that don’t really matter.”
Gender roles and inclusion matter greatly, and in
this and other crucial areas, we should not fail to
acknowledge the validity of the person, even while we
vehemently disagree with that person’s opinion.

Trees
Regardless of how old you are, there’s something about
spending an afternoon in a tree that just seems perfect.
Poets, artists, songwriters, novelists, and filmmakers continue to find
inspiration in these arboreal beauties.
I think all of us remember the time we spent around trees as kids. I clearly
recall playing hide and seek during my elementary school years and using
what seemed to me then giant trees to hide behind. Only after revisiting
my old neighborhood did I realize those trees were pretty ordinary street
trees or backyard trees, yet the memory still sticks with me of hiding behind
a majestic and “giant” tree, thrilled at being unseen—these are such warm
memories for all of us, I suspect. Later, as a dad, I have a clear memory of
my kids climbing into our front yard olive tree—photos galore—and that
was before “Facebooking” photos. Some of my most cherished photos are
of my kids in that front yard tree and photos of the family or friends posing
next to the many beautiful trees we encountered in our travels.
Jewish tradition takes a day to reflect on the power, majesty, and
importance of trees. Tu B’Shevat, or the 15th day of the month of Shevat,
marks the beginning of a “New Year for Trees.” Usually though, the
holiday occurs in January/February as it is associated with the start of
spring in Israel. It’s observed as a sort of national Arbor Day in Israel. The
earliest trees to blossom in Israel are almond trees—they show their first
flowers around this time of year.
Later this month we will observe the holiday of Tu B’Shevat. The eve of Tu
B’Shevat this year falls, luckily for programming purposes, on a Sunday. We
have planned a wonderful family Tu B’Shevat Art Experience with our Artist-inResidence, Mordechai Rosenstein, Sunday, January 24th, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. You can learn about Tu B’Shevat, create a family art piece, explore the Gallery,
and see the custom piece created for us by Mordechai. The cost is $10.00 per
family, which includes snacks. I hope your schedule will allow you to attend.
Speaking of attending events, many thanks to Stephen Tobolowsky and
Rabbi Silver for their combined energy and drive in putting together a
very successful program during Hanukkah, which built on the very wellattended and successful “Sukkah under the Stars.” Keep your eyes posted
for a spring program.
In the spirit of Tu B’Shevat, I offer the very well-known poem by Joyce
Kilmer titled “Trees.”
Trees
Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2016.

On behalf of our entire family we want to thank everyone at
Adat Ari El who helped to make Josh and Ginny’s wedding
such a special and wonderful simcha. From Rabbi Silver’s
lovely blessing at Friday night services, to the beautiful and
personal ceremony that Rabbi Bernhard performed, which
was enhanced by Cantor Aranoff’s chanting, it was a perfect
Tuesday evening! Patrick, Joaquin, and Hugo did a great job
setting up the room. The bride made the chuppah, which
was attached to the poles that belong to the temple. Lighting
transformed the space, and Kensington Caterers exceeded our
expectations with a delicious dinner. We were very happy to
celebrate this life cycle event at a place that has such meaning
and significance to us.

My Leadership Experience in USY
Torah Fund…
Making a Difference in
Higher Jewish Education
by Molly Schwartz
This year marks my second year of being on Executive Board for
USY at Adat Ari El. I took on the position of Membership and
Kadima Vice President. Each day I am learning new things about the
importance of my role. In order to start up my experience for the year,
I attended the Leadership Training Institute (LTI), which was made
possible due to my receiving the Ross Scholarship. LTI took place at
the American Jewish University, and executive board members from
all over the Far West Region joined for this very important leadership
program. The weekend at AJU allowed me to meet with other people
who had my board position and discuss methods that worked and
those that did not work. We also simulated activities in which we
practiced the skills we learned and followed the activities with talking
through our errors and achievements.
LTI taught me many skills of being a good leader, such as
communication and the importance of listening to others. Overall, this
skill has helped me tremendously, because whenever I communicate
with the rest of the executive board, it allows us to plan the best
programs possible. In order to elongate my training, I attended USY
Fall Encampment at Camp Ramah in Ojai. I was put into a program
called Madrichim, which meant that I could staff regional weekends
for younger kids. Madrichim training taught me positive ways to
speak to children and also how to deal with inappropriate situations.
All in all, I have made my fair share of mistakes, but these mistakes
have helped shape me into a better leader. The support of LTI and
Madrichim has given me guidance through my problems and has
helped me improve as a leader for the community.
Molly Schwartz is the Membership/Kadima VP of AAE USY and
was the 2015 recipient of the Ross Family Scholarship for Emerging
Leaders. She is a 10th grader at deToledo High School and is the
daughter of Randy and Nancy Schwartz.
Cantor Aranoff, continued from page 1
both of blessed memory, who were respected leaders in the Los Angeles
Jewish community. She and Mel have two fabulous daughters, Ronit
and Yael, both actors (for which they find Rabbi Rothblum and his
shows partly responsible!) and who have beautifully participated in
leading High Holyday services at Adat Ari El.
With a deep feeling for Jewish life, learning, and music, Cantor Aranoff also
has a strong sense of commitment to the broader Jewish community, which
includes her support of Torah Fund. She believes that to be a cantor is to
do keruv, bringing people close to God and Judaism through music. It is
easy to see why Sisterhood is honored and excited that Cantor Judy Dubin
Aranoff has been selected as one of this year’s Chayai Olam recipients.

The Women’s League of Conservative Judaism,
Sisterhood’s parent organization, raises money each
year for Conservative/Masorti Institutions of higher
learning. The funds raised each year by Sisterhood
women from all over the world provide much-needed
funds to the students of the American Jewish University
(Los Angeles), Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) in
New York, The Schechter Institute in Jerusalem, and
The Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano in Buenos
Aires. The scholarship funds are vitally important
to rabbinical students during their fifth year as they
study in Israel to complete their degrees. The financial
assistance Torah Fund provides has benefited our own
rabbis and interns.
Nat’ah karem, this year’s Torah Fund theme, is from the
Eishet Chayil poem portraying a hard-working, generous
woman who “plants a vineyard by her own labors” for
future generations. This year we honor Rabbi Deborah
Silver and Cantor Judy Dubin Aranoff, two women who
exemplify Nat’ah karem, at our annual Torah Fund Dinner,
February 3rd. We hope you will join us in honoring their
work in our community. Donations in their honor to the
Torah Fund benefit the Scholarship Campaign.
Torah Fund is also launching a two-year campaign to raise
over $600,000 to support special projects at the Jewish
Theological Seminary (JTS) and the Zeigler School for
Rabbinic Studies. The JTS Project will refurbish and
re-sanctify the Women’s League Seminary Synagogue
with capital improvements and innovative programs
re-imagining synagogue prayer. The Zeigler Project will
support the year of study in Israel for our future rabbis.
Gifts made at designated levels beginning at $1800 will be
recognized at both seminaries.
Please contact Joette Labinger at (818) 787-7441 for
any questions regarding the Torah Fund campaign or the
special seminary projects. Donations honoring Rabbi
Silver and Cantor Aranoff may be sent to the Synagogue,
attention: Torah Fund. Receive a Torah Fund pin
(illustration shown above) with a minimum contribution
of $180 as our thank you. The loyal support of Adat Ari
El members over the decades has made our Sisterhood the
largest contributor to Torah Fund in the world!
Thank you for supporting the future of the Conservative/
Masorti movement!
