Notes from the Cantor ……………………………………….
Oh Today We’ll Merry Merry Be
Purim, like Simchat Torah, is one of those rare Jewish holidays
that emphasizes pure joy above all else, despite the seriousness of
its deeper meaning. That is not to imply that other Jewish
holidays lack a sense of joy – many include a strong element of
joy as part of the holiday’s observance.
For example Sukkot is, by definition, the holiday of joy, one of
its names being zeman simchateinu. Our Shabbat observance is
supposed to include oneg shabbat – the joy of shabbat. But Purim
and Simchat Torah, above all others, put joy at the top of our
celebratory priorities.
One way of enhancing our Purim celebration, which is true of all
Jewish occasions, is through its music. There are many varied
and beautiful Purim songs we sing, and the Megilah Of Esther is
chanted to a unique trop/cantillation melody not used any other
time of year. It occasionally borrows the musical motif of the trop
of the Book Of Lamentations, known as Eichah, as well as other
unique musical motifs which serve to highlight “hidden” acts of
God, since God’s name is not actually spelled out in the megilah.
One song we all know and use, because it is suitable for children
and easy to learn, whose adaptation for Purim/Jewish usage is
obscure, is contained in the title of this article – Oh Today We’ll
Merry Merry Be. Some attribute this adaptation to Ben Aronin, a
Chicago Jewish educator, who is known for adapting many
parodies and secular songs for popular Jewish usage. But
researchers have been unable to verify this, and Aronin’s family
has refuted this attribution.
The song is an adaptation of the 19th century English drinking
song Landlord Fill The Flowing Bowl.
Its words include –
Landlord fill the flowing bowl, until it
doth run over.
For tonight we’ll merry, merry be,
tomorrow we’ll be sober.
Here’s to the lad who drinks dark ale
and goes to bed quite mellow
He lives as he ought to live, he’ll die a
happy fellow.
Earliest published references to this song for Purim usage, date
back to around 1940 as part of a Purim play. Its authorship is now
generally listed as “traditional” or “anonymous.”
Whatever the case, when you join us for our rousing, typical, and
uniquely joyous B’nai Israel Purim event on Wednesday, March
23rd at 5:45 PM, you can be sure that this, along with many other
great great songs, will enhance our celebration on this most
unique of Jewish holidays.
The evening’s highlight, as always, will be yet another 3Z
Productions spiel (3 Zuckers - Sophie, Deena and Meira) – details
are contained on the cover of this bulletin. So don’t miss
‘Midwest Side Story Spiel” or – How I Learned To Stop
Worrying And Love The Election. The evening begins with a
free delicious dinner generously sponsored by Phyllis Diamond,
with desserts and drinks donated by the Zucker family, followed
by service, abbreviated megilah, and spiel.
Wishing everyone the most joyous Purim holiday!

Message from the President………………………………….
Despite the cold weather of February, activities abounded at
B’nai Israel. Donations of hundreds of bottles of water were
made by our congregants to help the citizens of Flint Michigan
cope with their contaminated water crisis. Also, our board of
trustees attended a workshop lead by Mindy Gordon of United
Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. We are appreciative of the
organizational resources provided to us by USCJ.
I enjoyed hearing first hand, viewpoints shared with me
by the parents of students in our David S. Stone Religious School
at a February meeting at our shule. Their input will help our
board and staff position our religious school and synagogue for
the dynamic demographic shifts in our community.
It is difficult to get through our day without being
painfully aware that politics within our governments are
becoming increasingly loud, caustic and polarizing. If the stakes
were not so important, many of us would choose not to watch the
national or regional news or read the front page of our
newspapers. However political coverage can shape our
viewpoints on a range of topics from presidential candidates, the
environment, immigration or the U.S. relationship with Israel.
We know that this is not a new story as many of us have
viewed more than a few election cycles.
Beginning this March 23rd, our observance of Purim
marks a holiday when politics played a pivotal role in supporting
the foundations of the Jewish people around the 4 th century BCE.
Our ancestors were not thinking about any of the issues that we
face today but more fundamentally; their survival.
We know well the story of
how King Ahasuerus’s new wife
Esther (Queen Vashti’s replacement)
saved her husband from an
assassination attempt and earned his
trust. To make a long but interesting
tale much shorter, Queen Esther
requested that her new husband thwart
Hamen’s goal of destroying the Jews of Shushan. Hamen was
hanged, Mordechai her cousin was appointed prime minister in
Hamen’s place and the Jews of Shushan were saved.
If my telling of the story of Purim was too brief but your
interest was piqued, we invite you to attend a retelling of the
Purim story titled “Mid West Side Story” on Wednesday, March
23 at CBI. This Purim Spiel has drama, fabulous music and a
happy ending for Jews. Gather your friends and make your
reservation to attend a delicious pre-spiel dinner which has been
underwritten by a very generous donor.
Our religious school students will once again participate
in a Purim Carnival, this year hosted by Shomer Emunim. Please
consider purchasing carnival tickets directly from the CBI office
for which our USY chapter will derive full benefit from your
entire purchase.
Wishing you a warmer and healthy March.

Youth & Education News…………………………………….
David S. Stone Religious School
Our students were very fortunate to be a part of the Jewish Disability Awareness
Program facilitated by Rabbi Michael Ungar. This was a joint program with all of our
Jewish community students. Rabbi Ungar led an interactive workshop for our upper
grades and Mushka Matusof and Chloe Rothschild led sensory activities for our
younger grades. This was an enlightening experience for all involved.
Peter Silverman’s class received letters from their pen pals in our Partnership region in the Western Galilee. They are building on their Skype sessions and getting to
know our friends in Israel. They hope to meet them face to face when they visit Israel
this summer for their confirmation trip. The students are also keeping up with the
current events going on in Israel.
We are looking forward to Purim on Wednesday, March 23. All of our Jewish
community students will be working together to run and set up the Purim carnival.
The carnival will be at Shomer Emunim on March 20 th from 10:00-11:30am. We are
also excited for the Purim Spiel/Megillah reading on March 23, preceded by a delicious dinner. Our younger students will be making hamentashen with our friends
from Shomer Emunim and assembling shaloch manot boxes for the elderly in nursing
homes.
The continued support from our congregants for our Hire a Mensch Program is
greatly appreciated . This is a wonderful way for our students to meet our congregants and prepare for their Confirmation trip to Israel. Please see below for details.

Trisha Butera
I have recently had the honor to go through the conversion process at B'nai Israel.
Corey Russell and I have been dating for over three years and I am lucky enough to
have the love and support from his parents, Merv and Marlene Russell as well and his
Uncle and Aunt, Jerry and Arlene Russell. I currently live in Sylvania with my three
beautiful boys. Brandon is a Freshman at Northview High School and my twins, Jon
and Ryan, are in the second grade at Highland. I work for Southern Care Hospice. I
would like to thank Corey and his family as well as everyone who has been so kind and
helpful throughout my conversion. I am truly honored and humbled by everyone's kindness. Also, I would like to thank my classmates for being supportive and helping me
learn along the way, along with Hazzan Lichterman for his kindness and knowledge.
BITUSY …………………………………………………………….
PANCAKE BREAKFAST
I am sending a HUGE thank you for helping our BITUSY kids today!
We well exceeded our goal and could not have done it without the support of our awesome parents involvement and commitment
to ensuring that our Chapter stays strong!
I was so pleased so many of our members were able to be there that morning. Multiple people stopped me to say how nice it was
to see so many of the kids!
Miranda wanted me to let those who volunteered know that she was sorry she could not be there this morning. It ended up this
weekend was Jeremy's homecoming in Southfield so she was out of town with many of the MCUSY kids.
It takes a village to raise a family. I am so lucky to have all of you as part of my B'NAI FAMILY!
All my love and appreciation! Megan Miller
