It is one of my favorite holidays for two different reasons. Firstly, I can dress up in costume as whomever I choose. Ever since I was a child, I loved making my own costumes and making them as realistic and authentic as possible. Purim allows me to do just that. The second reason that Purim is one of my favorite holidays is a little more profound than costuming and lies within my musical tastes. As a Jewish musician, I view myself as an advocate and educator of unknown and obscure genres of music found within our rich Jewish history. In previous articles, I have discussed Jewish music from the Renaissance and Baroque in relation to its composers and the holiday of Hannukah. Purim is no different. The tradition of a Purim spiel comes from this time period in the form of the very first Hebrew play ever written entitled Tsahot bedihuta dekidushin (A Comedy of Betrothal) by Leone de Sommi circa 1550-1560. This play was the first of its kind for many reasons, mainly that it was performed entirely in Hebrew. But, it also ridiculed and satirized the wedding customs and traditions of the Italian Jews during this time period. The play was written in 5 acts with musical interludes between each act and select scenes. What makes this play special is that both Jewish and non-Jewish composers contributed music for Tsahot. While it was not surprising that a Jewish composer would write music for his or her own community, it was out of the ordinary for a non-Jewish composer to contribute their music as well. Based on this, we can deduce that some form of anti-Semitism existed as far back as the 1500’s. Unfortunately, the musical scores associated with this play are considered lost; however there does exist many documents that describe the music in explicit detail as well as listing some of the composers. Based on these documents, Jewish musical scholars such as my colleague, Dr. Anna Levenstein, have been able to successfully reconstruct modern editions of the scores to what the music may have been circa 1550-1560. According to today’s standards, performing such a play on Purim may not be as successful as it was during the time it was written. However, Leone de Sommi was not foolish (as one often acts on Purim) in his desire to create something much more than words on a page. He created the infamous tradition of the Purim spiel which has become so popular and beloved today. I would like to cordially invite each and every one of you to our Purim festivities on Wednesday, March 4, 2015. We will be having a spaghetti dinner at 5:15pm followed by services and the megillah reading featuring Stanley the Panther from The Florida Panthers! Please see the flyer in this issue of The Scroll as well as at the synagogue. And speaking of plays, I would like to remind you all that on Sunday, March 22, 2015, at 7pm, we will be having "A Jewish Night On Broadway" featuring myself and Broadway star Lauren Molina! Tickets are now on sale and make sure to order now as they are selling out fast! Desserts will be served during intermission and a private reception will follow the concert for sponsors only. Free babysitting will also be provided. Call the synagogue office at 954-721-7660 to order your tickets! Chag Purim Sameach! Cantor Jonathan Angress 3 SHEVAT / ADAR 5775 “b’sever panim yafot “ The above quote ends the secondto-last tractate in the order of Nezikin (damages) in the Talmud.The tractate is more often known as Pirkei Avot, literally, the Chapters of our Fathers. Interestingly, in Modern Hebrew it is a common expression used to denote “with open arms.” Our president and board have been discussing the concept of “with open arms,”not in a Toraic concept but with the idea of becoming a more welcoming and engaging Congregation. Every committee of our congregation is open to the concept. We need volunteers and we need you to think about how you can help. We have several active committees who do much of the planning that make membership in TBTST so valuable to so many. Everyone is looking for people to step forward and share their expertise, opinions and time to make those efforts successful. Of course, the Men’s Club and the Sisterhood are obvious places for you to help support activities that benefit TBTST. The Men’s Club motto – doing good while having fun – really belongs to all of them. In the Scroll, you often read about the Tikkun Olam/Mitzvah committee. Committed hands are always welcome.The membership committee has a number of projects that would help you feel more engaged while welcoming others. The Rabbi is always looking for people interested in widening the work of the Membership Committee and our Ways and Means Committee is not just an “ask for money” group, but is involved in planning many of our events. And, by the way the Scroll would be happy to have you aboard as well.

TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK SHEVAT / ADAR 5775 President's Message By Nancy Marks Small, President Nancy’s installation message Jan 13, 2015 My Second Year as President of TBTST It is truly an honor and a privilege to be President of Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek for a second year. I have always considered it a source of pride to be a member of this congregation. I love the spirit, warmth, laughter, and community that prevails today. Our congregation is a home for all of us. It offers support and a sense of community in everyday life as well as during times of our greatest joys or our deepest pain. It is a center for worship, community service, social action, and lifelong learning. I hope that we can encourage more participation by every member of the congregation in some activity of Temple life so that we may realize that the Temple is a warm and integral part of our existence. We will continue our efforts to make our congregation inviting, accessible, and meaningful to all who enter its doors. I would like to thank those of whom I have worked closely with this past year. First Rabbi Gold- you are a constant source of guidance and you bring a calm and soothing perspective on many issues. Cantor Angress- we cannot get enough of your beautiful voice. We are so lucky to have you both as part of our TBTST family. Regarding our education programs, we will continue to enhance our standard of excellence in Early Childhood led by Sydney Berlin and Hebrew School led by Ava Phillips. Thank you to Ronit Goldstein for developing our new Hebrew School curriculum. The Youth group is flourishing under Director Diana Rakitin. Our religious school and youth groups will continue to provide children with the knowledge and skills to be future leaders in the Jewish community. Thank you to our past Sisterhood Presidents: Cheryl Temkin and Jacqui Montag for making our Sisterhood group one of the most active in Broward County. I am anxious to work with our incoming President, Ellen Feldman. I look forward to your important contributions to the life of our community: programmatically, financially and in a variety of unsung but very important ways. Our Men’s Club, led by Barry Kanarek, also has made an impact on our community. We look forward to exciting, upcoming programs from both groups. Looking ahead, the Tikkun Olam committee, led by Jacqui Montag, will work to create opportunities for congregants of all ages and interests to participate in our mission to repair the world. Mitzvah Day is March 1st and I look forward to seeing you there to help those in the community who need us. Essential to Jewish life at TBTST is our twice daily minyans. If we all dedicated one day each month to attending minyan, we would always have a community when someone needs to say kaddish. I want to thank all our officers for their help and guidance this past year. They include Amir Watynski, Valerie Mercado, Nathan Winton, Jeff Eisensmith, Alan Paley, David Berger, Jacqui Montag, Stewart Klawsky and Jody Glass. They have worked tirelessly making sure this Synagogue attends to the needs of our membership. You have all taught me a lot and I know you will continue to advise me going forward. Thank you to our front office, starting with our newest staff member, Ken Kahn, Business Manager, along with Ava Phillips, Kari Askin, Donna Rosier and Linda Weintraub. I look forward to continue working with you in the upcoming year. President's message continued next page 4 FEBRUARY 2015 TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK SHEVAT / ADAR 5775 President's message continued Is Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek In Your Will? The synagogue’s role begins at birth and continues without interruption throughout the entire course of our lives. By remembering the synagogue in our wills, we can do our part to assure future generations that their religious home will be there to serve. We depend upon more than just dues alone to sustain all that we do. If we are concerned about the future of Judaism, we must project its influence and our influence into the future. Few memorials are more worthy than those provided by an endowment to TBTST through a bequest. Your legacy can reflect everything that is most important and meaningful to you. You can declare where your funds might be used – to supply the Hebrew School, for example, or to support one of TBTST’s designated funds. We all want TBTST to be a spiritual home for generations to come, just as it has been for you and your family. Let us ensure the future of our congregation and help it grow and serve our people. Thank you Jeff Eisensmith for chairing the nominating committee, along with his committee: Amir Watynski, Jeff Reisch, Glenda Sandhouse, Marci Ronik, Marshall Geisser, Bruce Berkowitz, Rhonda Jaffe, and Steve Siegel for creating this year’s slate of officers and Board of Directors. Thank you Jeff for being the best advisor one can have. Thank you Glenda Sandhouse and Amy Weinberg for co-chairing the Installation Ceremony. Thank you Steve Sax for your opening remarks. It took a lot of preparing and organizing, and I sincerely appreciate the effort. Thank you Cantor for leading us in Hatikvah and the National Anthem. Your voice sings to us! Thank you goes out to our outgoing officer, Nathan Winton who served 3 years as Membership VP, and longtime board member Danny Glass, who served TBTST with strong commitment and leadership. We have a long history of dedicated leaders and you are great examples of this. I look forward to working with all the newly installed Officers: Valerie Mercado, Jody Glass, Alan Paley, Cheryl Temkin, Jacqui Montag and Stewart Klawsky, our Board of Directors including Jerry Berkowitz, Lou Brawer, Marty Friedman, Steve Sax, Dennis Siegel, Jay Taitelman, Nathan Winton, Marvin Kaleky and Janet Workman, as well as with our Committee Chairs and committee members in the future. A huge thank you to my husband Mitch. I could not have taken on this responsibility without your support. Nothing equals the joy of having you in my life being able to share the highs, lows and everything in between of our lives. I love you very much. Many great events took place in 2014. I cannot wait to see what 2015 brings. Accomplishing all of this work takes a village. And what a village we are. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the honor of serving again as President of this extraordinary congregation and look forward with joy and excitement to a productive and fulfilling second year. You have entrusted me with this responsibility and I promise that I will give it my all. Please continue on this journey with me. Thank you and Shabbat Shalom.

Sample Road, Bible and everything else under the sun 5 FEBRUARY 2015 TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK Early Childhood News Sydney Berlin, Early Childhood Director There are lots of important things that must occur for a summer to be truly great. You need strumming guitars, fun activities, new skills, new friends, water play, and clothes covered in paint and lost voices, just to name a few. All of those things, plus hundreds more, are part of the camp experience at Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek Camp Mah-Tov. But these things are not what makes us great. Though we have a beautiful facility where our campers enjoy swimming, H2O Zone, playground, art, music, sports, gymnastics, cooking, and amazing field trips, they are not what make us different. What makes TBTST Camp Mah-Tov great, and why we are different from everywhere else, is our staff. From our team of seasoned camp counselors, who are year round Early Childhood Teachers, to our newest Jr. Counselor, our staff understands our priorities (safety, fun, community, and informal education) and they believe in the importance of summer camp. They are highly trained to be supportive, to build bonds within the camp community and gently help even the youngest campers step outside of their comfort zone, challenging them to take positive risks and engage in independent decision making. At Camp Mah-Tov, we know that camp is an experience that a child holds forever. And we know that a break from school is not a break from learning. Our goal, for all of our campers, is for this summer to be the most enriching experience of their lives. This summer we will be offering a wide variety of camp experiences. We have programs for all ages and for every type of camper. We offer flexible enrollment options from the entire 9 week summer, 3 week sessions or weekly enrollment. Our camps are inclusive and offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of all our campers. Most importantly, Camp Mah-Tov is extremely safe. A recent study done by the American Camping Association found that 96% of campers said that “camp helped them make new friends,” and 92% said, “Camp helped me feel good about myself.” Seventy percent of camp parents said, “My child gained self-confidence at camp.” These statistics are impressive, but if you still aren’t convinced, try and remember your days at camp. Talk to a friend about their camp experiences. Or even better, talk to a family that has been involved in our programs. Even though summer is still a few months away, we are offering some great early bird enrollment specials for this summer. Registration & Early Bird specials will be available in February. If you have any questions about camp, please contact us at 954-722-9537. JOIN the growing list of Torah Readers!! Read the Parsha from your Bar/Bat Mitzvah Read your favorite porAon!

As educators we think about what kinds of things we have done this year, what changes have taken place and how we can improve on our curricula for next year. What needs have not been addressed and what really worked well this past semester? Everyone has a different idea of what Jewish Education is all about and where it should be going in the next few years and beyond. The difficulty in defining Jewish Education is a reflection of the problems inherent in establishing goals and curricula for the Jewish school. At one time it was assumed that the purpose of the Jewish school was to transmit knowledge, skills and values. How this was done of course, depended on the branch of Judaism under whose aegis a school was established. Often, it was felt that the transmission of knowledge would automatically result in moral religious behavior. After all, “the ignorant man cannot be pious.” However, experience has shown that change in people are not caused by textbooks alone, that human interactions have as much to do with the development of a child’s personality as a school-perhaps even more so. In providing the setting for the acquisition of knowledge, the Jewish school expects parents to share in the task of teaching their children diligently how to live as Jews. In the decades that followed WW2, many parents abdicated that responsibility by becoming more secularized. That became top priority and playing down their Judaism became less important. The Jews were becoming Americanized or Canadianized depending on where you settled and that became very important to us as Jews. The school continued to influence children and adhere to Jewish values but this was rejected openly by the parents. The problems still remain very much the same. Many parents still work against the school rather than with it. They can be discouraging when children attempt to practice what they have learned and yet, they blame the school if the child does not retain his or her identity. By now, it is clear to all of us as educators that parents should be the real teachers of their children. The school should supplement and reinforce what is lived at home and family education should be considered the most viable supplement to the traditional Jewish classroom. Another difficulty in today’s world is the isolation from other forms of Jewish learning. As an entity unto itself, the Hebrew school is concerned mainly with formal classroom experiences. Youth groups and summer camps were not seen as educational and only in the last 10-15 years has that philosophy changed and we have now begun to recognize that different kinds of learning are most effective at various developmental stages of the child. We are very much into experimenting with alternatives to formal education. We encourage all of you to join us in any aspect of synagogue life and help us to become a fabulous place to be here at Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek. Chavurach Report The "Ru'ach" Chavurah enjoyed the Temple dinner after Friday night services in November. They also participated in a Chanukah party in December where everyone brought a dish. January is a good time to get together for wine tasting. Each couple chose a month to plan the activity for the group. We meet the second Sunday of each month. 8 FEBRUARY 2015 TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK Hang Ten, Sharks! By: Samantha Gaynor The TBTST Youth Department says “Aloha” to the 2015 annual Chapter Weekend. This three-day long, luau themed experience takes place from February 13th-15th. The weekend will give our chapter a chance to bond in a special way apart from conventions with other chapters. Some of the great programs of the weekend include an “Untalent Show” where participants get to display their hilarious abilities, games of Whirlyball, and lots of ruach and mixers! The USYers also enjoy a meaningful discussion on how to manage stress and anxiety in high school while balancing the stressful tasks with the fun activities like USY. In the past years, Chapter Weekends have taken place at everyone’s favorite outdoor campground—Camp Owaissa Bauer in Homestead, Florida. Everyone loves the chance to get in touch with the wild, especially at services in the nature, but this year TBTST experiences a wonderful hotel as a new location for bonding. Pre-Kadima, Kadima, and USY spend nights at the Lake Buena Vista Resort & Spa hotel in Orlando and takes the bus to Universal for an extra special addition. While usually Yom Disney takes place as a separate event, this year a trip to Orlando to visit Universal Studios is included in the Chapter Weekend itinerary. Yom Universal is attended by all USYers of the Hanegev region which includes the three sub regions: Arvot, Ein Gedi, and Mercaz. So, while Chapter Weekend will be all about chapter bonding, TBTST will spend time with other groups as well while they have a blast going on rides and spending time in Universal. For the Hawaiian luau theme, one of the nights of the weekend is for dressing up in your most colorful and bright floral luau attire. One luau shirt will be given away and tropical games like limbo will be played. Who says sharks don’t like the water? Surf’s up! Sisterhood Scholarships are available. Please contact the Temple Office at 954-721-7660, ext. 110. 9 SHEVAT / ADAR 5775 Be a Shabbat greeter! Want to leave services with a smile on your face? There is no better feeling than to make others feel welcome and to feel the peace of extending a “Shabbat Shalom” or “GoodYom Tov” to others. There are no special skills involved, just show up, (on time!), extend a smile and a Shabbat Shalom leaflet. What better way is there to feel a part of the congregation? Friday night 6:30 PM Saturday morning 9:00 AM Help us make a minyan! We are the only Conservative synagogue in Broward to have daily minyan every morning and evening, every day of the year! Help us keep it going and support those who are saying Kaddish. Volunteer to come to minyan! You don’t have to know Hebrew or any of the prayers – just your presence will be greatly appreciated. This is a great way to celebrate an event like a birthday or anniversary. You’ll feel so much better knowing you’ve helped others! Monday – Friday 7:45 AM and 6:00 PM Sunday and secular holidays 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM FEBRUARY 2015 The Sisterhood of TBTST is pleased to present the College Connection program. We reach out to our families whose sons and daughters are away from home to provide them with a connection to TBTST. College Connection provides holiday gift packages during the academic school year and communicates quarterly with students. To help us stay in touch with your college student, please let us know their name and where they are – you can drop the information off at the office or email it to Sisterhood copresident Jacqui Montag at [email protected] UPCOMING SISTERHOOD EVENTS February 8 Book review and Lunch in Delray February 22 Rabbi Amy Eilberg Discussion & Dessert 7:00 pm March 15 Leonard Rosendahl March 20 & 21 Sisterhood Shabbat April 26 Annual Fashion Show and Luncheon May 7 Speaker on Jews in the Military TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK SHEVAT / ADAR 5775 TBTST SISTERHOOD Ellen Feldman, President When we joined the synagogue five years ago it never occurred to me that five years later I would be embarking on a new “adventure” by becoming president of Sisterhood. But then maybe it’s not so surprising after all. We came to then TBT not really knowing anyone at all, but thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere it didn’t take long for us to start feeling at home in our new congregation. But to really feel part of the Temple community I knew Sisterhood would be my link, not just by attending activities and programs, but by being on the board. I was immediately impressed by the comradery, commitment, and the supportive and congenial atmosphere. Sisterhood quickly gave me a community within a community and new friendships were soon formed. Working on committees and programs only reinforced my observations that I was lucky to be part of such a terrific group of women. I was also fortunate to join the congregation when the first Chavurah was being formed and through this avenue our connection to the Temple deepened. Becoming part of the now TBTST congregation has enhanced my life in so many ways. I look forward to the next two years and know I have many awesome women who will be there with me to continue the “terrific run” accomplished by Cheryl and Jacqui. On behalf of all of Sisterhood, I want to thank them for their time, effort and hard work these past three years. Yes, it was full of milestones and we will keep building on them. Best of luck to both of you as you move on to other positions in the synagogue. I also want to thank Linda Weintraub, Shari Baer, Barbara Eisensmith and Sheila Ader for their continuing dedication to sisterhood and I welcome all our new board members. I look forward to working with all of you. As this edition of the Scroll goes to print, 17 women from our sisterhood will be cruising on the Majesty of the Seas, joining other sisterhoods of the Florida Region of Women’s League For Conservative Judaism. Seventeen women out a of total of forty-four women! We are the largest contingent from all of Florida! More about our “Wheels on Water II” weekend next month. We are wasting no time in starting off the new year with a game night of Bunko on Thursday, January 22nd. What a great way to mix and mingle while having fun. Our program for February – Sunday, February 8th – takes us to Delray Beach for brunch followed by a book review at the Murder on the Beach Mystery Book Store. Be sure to join us! Sunday, February 22nd @7:00 p.m. Sisterhood will be hosting Rabbi Amy Eilberg, the first woman ordained as a Conservative Rabbi. She will share some of her personal thoughts followed by a dessert reception. Mark your calendars for the following months as well: Sunday, March 15th – Women’s Seder • Sunday, April 26th – Fashion Show I welcome all of you and look forward to seeing you soon.

Fathers, sons, mothers and daughters are all invited. The price is only $28/person which includes all fees. We have great seats in the upper deck able to view the game unobstructed. If we can get 50 attendees we may be able to get the Panther bus to pick us up! We also plan on a tailgating party at the Temple prior to leaving for the Arena. We are kicking off our Yom Hashoah Candle Program. This year it is the goal of the FJMC to have a million candles lit in remembrance. Last year’s program was a great success. As you might remember with every candle sent out we included the name of a child who was murdered in the Holocaust along with the site and date. It was so meaningful to know that when we lit our candles we were doing it not only for loved ones we may have known, but for a child who might have been completely forgotten. We are also planning on a monthly Sunday breakfast with some very exciting topics that should be of interest across all demographics. If you are interested in joining or being an active participant of the club or have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]. Simcha Section Births Jodi and Howard Mofsen are proud to welcome their grandson, Jack Ryan Alexander born December 25 to their daughter Samantha and her husband Derek. Weddings Janie and Allan Levine’s daughter, Lauren, married Brad Sobel. Lori Cole and Robert Cole’s daughter, Stefanie, married Adam Rosen.

As part of our New Roads to Engagement Project, Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek is encouraging couples or families to bring their common interests to the synagogue. This is not a religious group, but a group of family or friends that want to socialize together. Perhaps it is an existing group of friends that you join each month to have dinner with, see a movie or attend a play. Any group of people with common interests can form a Chavurah. Shortly, you will receive a brochure and questionnaire describing this concept, and asking only for you to complete and return the questionnaire to the synagogue office. Based on your responses, we will form a group that fits your needs. Please join with us as we reach out and engage our congregation. Watch for our brochure! Join Cantor Angress for Friday Night Services Come at 6 pm for a pre-oneg. Stay to sing & enjoy Shabbat.

As it happens, much of the “work” of TBTST and most of the planning takes place in committees. So, committee membership is a great place to begin becoming involved in synagogue life. Every congregation relies on its volunteers both to work and to lead. Most committees are open to all who are interested and willing to participate. Two committees that are very interested in finding new, enthusiastic members are the Membership Committee, and the Marketing and Communications Committee. Volunteers are always welcome to be part of ourTikkun Olam committee, the sponsors of our enormously successful annual Mitzvah Day. The Rabbi is always looking for people interested in the Adult Education Committee. Our Ways and Means Committee serves as a program committee and manages many of our synagogue events. Extra hands are always sought to help in those activities. If you have children, you know about our PTOs. Keep them in mind as well. Both the Sisterhood and the Men’s Club sponsor programs and support activities that benefit the synagogue. They both do their work in a social atmosphere and many deep friendships have arisen among their members. If the notion of a committee conjures up the world of corporations, cubicles and bureaucracy (ours are much friendlier by the way) think about becoming active in one of our auxiliaries. Only you know what might interest you and, if you do, let the office know and they will put you in touch with the relevant chairperson. If you know that you would like to help, but are unsure about just what you might enjoy doing, talk to one of the officers of the congregation or to the presidents of the Sisterhood or the Men’s Club. TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK SHEVAT / ADAR 5775 Save the Date....Mitzvah Day is Coming! By Jacqui Montag, Tikkun Olam Committee Chair Mitzvah Day will be on Sunday, March 1, 2015. We will be doing a number of meaningful and important projects. Some of the projects will be familiar to our members, but we may have new projects to do after our committee meets. We will need participation as well as donations in order to make Mitzvah Day a success. Wish List: Volunteers---Nothing gets done by itself. If you’re interested, willing and able, we can find a place for you. Just contact Jacqui Montag at [email protected] or at 954-562-2002. We welcome new people to be on the committee and suggest ideas for projects, as well as helpers on the actual day of the event. Peanut Butter, Jelly, Bread---We make hundreds of sandwiches for the Broward Cooperative Feeding Service. Clothing---We are especially interested in clothing suitable for job interviews, polo shirts of a single color that students can use as part of a uniform, formal wear for Becca’s Closet and clothes for battered women trying to start new lives. Luggage---As JAFCO’s older unadopted teens “age out” of the state support system, they will need gently used or new luggage in which to pack their clothing. Non-perishable food---We collect food year-round in our food cart and send it to WECARE Food Bank. On Mitzvah Day we’d like to have a concentrated effort for food donations because the need is very great. Paper towels, toilet paper and diapers are also greatly needed and cannot be purchased with food stamps. Help the Humane Society of Broward County---Bath towels, blankets and wash cloths, Purell liquid sanitizer and Purell wipes, big rubber chew toys that can be disinfected, ping pong balls for cats. paper towels, hand sanitizer and office supplies are all needed. Blood Donation---We are working with One Blood to have a Bloodmobile on premises on Mitzvah Day. Visit Seniors at a Senior Residence---Each year a group visits with and entertains seniors on Mitzvah Day. It’s a program that the seniors look forward to each year. There will be other activities as well. Watch for details in a brochure that will be mailed to every congregant next month. So if you’d like to have a great time and do a mitzvah, make sure to mark your calendar for Sunday, March 1, 2015, for Mitzvah Day. Thank you, The Membership Committee meets every month on the first Wednesday at 7:00 pm. If interested, please call Jody Glass at 954-263-6778 or email [email protected]. We hope you will join us. 13 FEBRUARY 2015 A g n i r B TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK Ever SHEVAT / ADAR 5775 d! n e i r F yone h t 0 2 y r a u r Feb Welc o me!

The parts of the tree depend upon one another just as those in need in our community depend upon Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek for help and support. In the same manner, Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek depends upon the generosity of our community to enable us to continue to provide that support. The Tree of Life is the perfect symbol to allow us to recognize the generous donors who, in turn, help us to continue providing necessary services to our community. Consider honoring a friend or relative’s birthday, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, anniversary, etc. or using this as a memorial gift. By purchasing a leaf for the Tree of Life, you will not only be helping the Tree to grow, but you will also be helping TBTST to grow, now and in the future. There are gold, silver and bronze leaves available at a price of $180. If you are interested in supporting TBTST, please contact our office and we will gladly assist you. You can also email [email protected] or make your donation online at www.tbtst.org. Thank you for your donation.

Traditionally, the Hebrew name of the sick person and the Hebrew name of the sick person's mother are mentioned during the prayer. It would be helpful if you would provide us with this information when you make your request. Prayers for the recovery of the sick are customarily accompanied by a gift to a deserving charity. The merit of this kind deed arouses God's mercy and His powers of healing. Although any amount is deemed appropriate on such an occasion, a gift of CHAI - $18 - or multiples of 18 - is particularly fitting when pleading for a person's recovery from sickness. CHAI in Hebrew means life. The two Hebrew letters which constitute the word - CHET and YUD - have the numerical equivalents of eight and ten respectively, together yielding the sum of eighteen. For this reason it has become a custom to give charity in the amount of CHAI when praying for the well-being of a suffering person. Enclosed please find a contribution in the sum of $______________________________________________________ Please make a Misheberach (Prayer for the recovery) for: Name (English)__________________________________________________________________________________ (Hebrew)_______________________Mother's Name (Hebrew)____________________________________________ 27 FEBRUARY 2015 FEBRUARY SHEVAT/ADAR 5775 NAME 2/1 2/1 2/1 2/1 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/3 2/3 2/3 2/4 2/4 2/4 2/4 2/5 2/5 2/6 2/6 2/6 2/6 2/6 2/6 2/7 2/7 2/7 2/7 2/7 2/7 2/8 2/8 2/8 2/9 2/9 2/10 2/10 2/10 2/11 2/11 2/11 2/11 2/12 2/12 2/12 2/12 2/13 12 12 12 12 13 13 13 13 14 14 14 15 15 15 15 16 16 17 17 17 17 17 17 18 18 18 21 18 18 19 19 19 20 20 21 21 21 22 22 22 22 23 23 23 23 24 Roz Freedman Chaja Zryl Allene Fisch Irving Jacobson Howard Leibov EdithFinkelstein SaulFriedman Irving Adler Benjamin Ronik Lena Rosenbaum Gertrude Owsowitz Seymour Hecht Lucille Usherson Reva Stein Itzruk Schneiderman Hortense Salomon Martin Michelson Nathan German Shirley Sorger Saul Rothstein Irv Lissauer Sylvia Levine Tova Malamud Betty Farber Samuel Sheinberg Louis Smith Joel Leuchter Rebecca Berger Murray Olewitz Sanford Hahn Abraham Derevensky Nathan Gaynor Elsie Beekman Malka Hafetz Sol Kappel Charles Cooperman Jean Dykan Charles Werksman Elka Loiben Paul Magelowitz Shirley Gutman Mel Birnbaum Celia Stemmer Gabriel Amiel Yenta Schneiderman Jack Jacoby TEMPLE BETH TORAH SHA'ARAY TZEDEK Yahrzeits FEBRUARY SHEVAT/ADAR 5775 NAME 2/13 2/13 2/13 2/14 2/14 2/14 2/14 2/14 2/14 2/15 2/15 2/16 2/16 2/17 2/18 2/18 2/18 2/18 2/18 2/19 2/19 2/19 2/20 2/20 2/20 2/20 2/20 2/21 2/21 2/21 2/21 2/21 2/21 2/21 2/21 2/21 2/22 2/22 2/22 2/22 2/22 2/22 2/22 2/22 2/22 2/22 24 24 24 25 25 25 25 25 25 26 26 27 27 28 29 29 29 29 29 30 30 30 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Beverly Markowitz Paul Fridman William Berkowitz Jacob Erkes Jeanette Pines Lily Miller Marvin Brenner SamHerman Morris Abrams Sylvia Iglowitz-Lesh DoraCohen Leonard Ross Joseph Berger Sidney Friedman Miriam Sonsky Frances Cooperman William Kravetsky FayeMargolies Howard Hatoff Matthew Kanas IsaacCohen Marvin White Lilly Eisler Leo Schlanger George Rosen Anna Weiss Sheldon Altschul Clara Glasberg Gilda Russo Marci Frosch Sammy Megibow Rosa Silber Paulette Kenagen Manny Schlanger O.

We could not accomplish this important mitzvah if not for the generous donations we receive year round from caring individuals, organizations, schools, synagogues and businesses in our community. Thanks to United Way of Broward County, we are also able to distribute fresh produce to needy people through Project Lifeline. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated to keep our shelves stocked so we can help the many men, women and children needing our services throughout the year. Currently, WECARE provides enough free non-perishable food and fresh produce to prepare over 65,000 meals for our neighbors in need. WECARE also collects small toiletry items, provides free medical equipment loans including wheelchairs, walkers and canes, distributes handknitted items to nursing home residents, and collects eyeglasses and hearing aids that are sent to New Eyes for the Needy.

LEONARD, M.D. Board Certified Ophthalmologist I’ll Treat You Like Family Choosing a doctor to trust with the care of your eyes, your precious sight, can be a difficult decision. You want someone board-certified, professional and experienced. But you also want a doctor who will take the time to listen to you, explain things and treat you with kindness and respect. I have been in practice since 1982, caring for patients with a personal touch. Whether it’s an eye exam or surgery, you’ll get the best I have to give. You’ll be treated the way you know you should be. Like family. Cataract • Glaucoma Laser Surgery Medicare Assignment Accepted 954-746-7040 8890 W.

You want the day to be memorable and you want to look back on it fondly. That is why when we built our new building we created a welcoming facility for catered events. Our magnificent new social hall, our state of the art kitchen, our adjoining bride’s room, and our very attractive lobby have all been designed with one idea – to make simchas that are celebrated at TBTST those that will meet everyone’s standard of excellence. Our caterers are dedicated to helping to organize and manage your event and to meet your needs and expectations. Please contact our Temple Office (954) 7217600 to obtain more information about our caterers and our facilities.
