In honoring the rabbi and Debbie, we recognize the significant roles that they play in the lives of our own families, in vitalizing the New York Jewish and larger community, and in advancing Conservative Judaism throughout North America and Israel. The Cosgroves are devoted to strengthening our synagogue as a caring community that fosters Jewish learning, advocates turning words into action, and serves as a center where national Jewish conversations occur. Their love for our heritage imbues our synagogue’s superb educational programs for learners of all generations. Since Rabbi Cosgrove brought the Florence Melton School of Adult Learning to PAS in 2009, 126 adults have completed the twoyear Jewish literacy program and 46 students are currently enrolled. This year the rabbi and Debbie are each teaching one of the first-year courses. In the past two years, the rabbi has also brought the JTS Context program to PAS and has inaugurated the PAS Lecture Series, bringing bring top scholars and notable intellectuals to examine themes that are critical to the Jewish future. The rabbi teaches weekly classes. Debbie, who holds an MA in Jewish Education from the JTS Graduate School of Education, has a monthly series on Women in the Bible and also teaches in the Young Couples Group speaker series, at the annual Book Fair, and for the ECC Parents Association. Rabbi Cosgrove leads the congregation in thinking critically about the relationship between Diaspora Jewry and Israel while unequivocally supporting a secure, Jewish and democratic state. Leading by example, the rabbi and Debbie frequently travel to Israel with their four children, Lucy, Maddie, Zoe and Jed. During the Cosgroves’ years here, the synagogue has sponsored six Israel trips, geared to different demographics, and there are three more trips on the calendar for this year alone. The Cosgroves’ leadership is recognized far beyond PAS and even beyond the Jewish community. Rabbi Cosgrove is a member of the Board of UJA-Federation of New York and sits on the Chancellor’s Cabinet of JTS. He serves as Rabbinical Advisor on Interfaith Affairs for the ADL and was invited to attend the elevation of Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan in Rome. In 2012 he was named to Newsweek’s annual list of the 50 most influential rabbis in America. Debbie is active in the Jewish Women’s Foundation and UJA-Federation of New York, most recently serving on its Commission on the Jewish People. Rabbi Cosgrove has edited a provocative and inspiring essay collection, Jewish Theology in Our Time, and PAS has proudly published four collections of his sermons. As important to him as his public roles, the rabbi is a steady pastoral presence, supporting us in times of sorrow and rejoicing with us at times of celebration. The impact of the Cosgroves’ spiritual guidance, intellectual accomplishments, and personal warmth is powerfully reflected in the large number of young families who are joining Park Avenue Synagogue. We all feel secure in the knowledge that Elliot and Debbie are here to teach us, to inspire us, to guide us, and to be with us at times of need and at times of joy. Please honor the Cosgroves and our synagogue’s future by attending the Gala. Your participation will help ensure that Park Avenue Synagogue will continue to thrive as a community where you, your children, your grandchildren, and future generations will take their place as proud, educated, and engaged Jews.

Back cover Cover & page 4: from the Park Avenue Synagogue collection. February 2013 Shevat / Adar 5773 3 From Rabbi Steven I. Rein Herzl in Shushan W e typically speak of Herzl on Yom HaAtzma’ut, but I would like to suggest that his story is very much the story of Purim. Born in1860, Theodor Herzl grew up emancipated, anti-traditional and secular. He dismissed all religion and spoke of Judaism with mocking cynicism. As a late 19th century, westernized Jewish intellectual, he believed that complete assimilation was both inevitable and desirable. Herzl was the Paris correspondent for the Neue Freie Presse in 1894, when Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish captain in the French military, was accused of spying for Germany. Reporting on what became known as the Dreyfus Affair, Herzl experienced a turning point in his life when he saw Dreyfus stripped of his epaulets and drummed out in disgrace. At that moment Theodor Herzl the father of modern political Zionism was born. He dedicated the remaining years of his life to the establishment of a Jewish state. How is that the story of Purim? We fantasize that Mordecai and Esther were religious Jews, committed to God and the Jewish people. A simple reading of 4 www.pasyn.org 212–369–2600 the Megillah, however, does not support such a portrait. There is the famous fact that God is never mentioned and the glaring absence of any observance or prayer by Mordecai and Esther. Mordecai not only instructs Esther to conceal her Jewish identity, but he does the same. They want to be like the Persians around them. There are even midrashim that suggest that Mordecai refused to bow before Haman solely because of his own pride. In these accounts, Mordecai is held responsible for the ensuing contempt of the Jews. Given all this, why do we venerate Mordechai and Esther and read their story every year? Rav Yaacov Medan, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion in Gush Etzion, suggests that this interpretation does not necessarily indicate a character flaw in Mordecai or Esther. Rather, every individual is judged by his end. Mordecai may indeed have denied or been indifferent to his Judaism, resulting in his rise to power and to the eventual endangerment of the Jewish community. But at the critical moment when the existence of the Jewish community was threatened, he did everything that he could to free his nation from distress. Together with Esther and all the other Jews of Shushan he returned not only to his nation but also to his God. In this reading of the Megillah, the essential observation is that Mordecai and Esther are assimilated Jews at the beginning but not at the end. There is a turning point in the story when they realize that they are part of the Jewish people, that they can no longer hide their identities, and they must become one with their nation. Perhaps it is no accident that the essential mitzvot of Purim – mishloah manot and matanot l’evyonim, giving gifts to each other and gifts to the poor – make us think about others and identify with Jews around us. Mordecai and Esther, like Theodor Herzl, begin their lives assimilated and removed from God, but they travel together with the entire Jewish nation towards God and the desire for Jewish freedom. Their joining in that journey is perhaps what Purim is all about – rising to the occasion as a unified community, standing together for our right to live as Jews, in Shushan and everywhere around the globe.

A diligent student, Heath especially enjoys science, Spanish and Latin. He plays percussion in the school band. An enthusiastic athlete, Heath enjoys lacrosse, tennis and baseball and currently plays basketball for Horace Mann Middle School. He also enjoys rooting for the Yankees, Giants and the Knicks. He has spent the last five summers at Camp Takajo in Naples, Maine, where he practically lives at the lake. He is fortunate to spend many summer weekends at the beach in Saltaire, Fire Island with his grandmother and cousins and to visit his grandparents in Florida during the winter. Heath has also traveled with his family all over the world. Heath started his informal learning at PAS Tot Shabbat as a two-year-old. His formal Jewish education began in the PAS Congregational School in Kindergarten. Heath would like to thank Rabbi Cosgrove, Rabbi Rein, Cantor Schwartz, Cantor Kidron, Ronit Aranoff and all of his teachers for helping him to prepare for this very meaningful milestone in his life. 6 Park Avenue Synagogue Bulletin February 9 | Parashat Mishpatim Noah is in 7th grade at Horace Mann School, where his favorite subject is Spanish. A sports enthusiast, Noah plays travel baseball for the NYC Dusters, plays football on the Horace Mann middle school team, and enjoys tennis and downhill skiing. He also plays trumpet in the school concert band. Noah enjoys spending time with his cousins in Los Angeles and going to summer camp in Maine at Camp Laurel South. Noah began his Jewish education at the ECC and has attended the Congregational School since Kindergarten. He has been volunteering in the PAS Food Pantry as part of his bar mitzvah preparation. He plans to continue his Jewish education at the Rabbi Judah Nadich High School and to continue working in the Food Pantry. As another part of his bar mitzvah project, Noah will donate to an organization that provides sports equipment to needy children. Noah is bright, sociable, hardworking, well-rounded and polite. He is a wonderful role model to his younger sister Alexa. Noah and his family would like to thank Jamie Diamond and the entire clergy for their help and guidance in preparing for his bar mitzvah. February 16 | Parashat T’rumah A spirited, intense and creative 7th grader at Birch Wathen Lenox School, Nate is also a serious student at the Mannes College of Music Preparatory Division. He has been making music as long as he can remember. His first piano recital took place at Camp Ramah in 2008. He has since performed at Steinway Hall and Carnegie Hall and won an international piano concerto competition. He has been a guest cello soloist with the New York Piano Society and performed both cello and piano at several music festivals in Europe and the US. He has sung with the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Opera and Chelsea Opera companies and has performed numerous times for charity events. Nate is also passionate about science. The first middle school student at his school ever to be given an independent study, he received a Headmaster’s Prize after completing his project on theories of the origin of the universe. Nate hopes to become either a scientist who plays piano and cello or a musician with scientific interests. Nate came to the Congregational School in Kindergarten and is now a member of the PAS Rock Band. He is happy to follow his three siblings in becoming a bar mitzvah at PAS. He has especially enjoyed analyzing and thinking about his Torah portion. He thanks Cantor Judi Rowland, his fantastic tutor; Cantor Schwartz, Rabbis Cosgrove and Rein, and Rabbi Eve Rudin and Cantor Kidron. Scott Miller | February 23 Parashat T’tzavveh Son of Sharon and Lewis Miller Scott began his education in the ECC at Park Avenue Synagogue and continued in the Congregational School. Scott attends The Fieldston School where he is a diligent student who also likes to joke around with his friends. He spends summers at Brant Lake Camp. Scott is a dedicated athlete who works hard and plays hard. His older brothers Greg and Brian had Scott playing baseball and basketball very young. They have also helped him to develop his subtle, sarcastic wit. Scott currently plays travel baseball for the Yorkville Eagles, and travel basketball for the 92nd Street Y. Scott is a team player who always knows when a teammate needs a word of encouragement. Scott’s other interests include skiing, travel and spending time with family and friends. His family’s trip to Israel in August was particularly meaningful in light of his upcoming bar mitzvah. Scott and his family would like to thank the clergy and everyone at the Congregational School for all of their support and guidance in Scott’s education over the years. Scott would also like to thank Ronit Aranoff and his tutor Jamie Diamond for helping him prepare for his bar mitzvah. www.pasyn.org 212–369–2600 מזל טובMazal Tov המקום ינחםCondolences Arthur Ainsberg on the birth of a Barbara & Michael Delgado on the loss of her mother, Pauline Brownstein grandson, William Samuel Ainsberg, and to the parents, Joseph & Jessica Weiss Ainsberg Jennifer & Peter Bernstein on the birth of a son, Benjamin Harris Bernstein Barbara & Michael Delgado on the birth of a granddaughter, Devorah Leah, and to her parents, Peter & Zahava Friedman and her older siblings Herta Gottschalk and Michael & Caroline Gottschalk on the loss of their husband and father, Ernest Gottschalk Shary & Sherie Moalemzadeh on the loss of his father, Jack Moalemzadeh Margie Morse on the loss of her mother, Jacqueline Morse Allison & Michael Dubrow on the birth of twin sons, Henry Robert and Samuel Frank, and to big sister Rebecca Stacy & Jeffrey Friedman on the birth of a daughter, Lauren Gabrielle Friedman Jennifer & Bryan Kaplan on the birth of a son, Asher Louis Kaplan Tracy & Jason Gould on the birth of a daughter, Madison Bea Gould Jenna & Sam Gutmann on the birth of a son, Brian Harrison Gutmann Superstorm Sandy Relief Continues — PAS is there!
