For Now the Winter is Past. . . (Song of Songs 2:11)
By Rabbi Mona Alfi
As a kid, I always thought it was strange that the first thing we got to eat at the Passover seder was parsley. While
I enjoyed parsley (I really did!), it seemed so, well, insignificant compared to the excitement of eating the pyramids
(in the form of the charoset), or the tear-inducing pain of the horseradish reminding us of the bitterness of slavery, or
the fun of crumbling the matzah and simply making a mess all over the table and floor. The sad little piece of parsley
dipped in salty water just seemed, well, sad.
In retrospect, I realize that having grown up in Southern California, I couldn’t really understand what the big deal
was with the emergence of spring, or the appearance of green vegetables on the dining room table. After all ,what
some called spring, we simply called winter. As far as vegetables were concerned, when we made a salad all I had to
do, year round, was go outside my back door to pick avocados, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Because I took spring and
all of its blessings for granted, I couldn’t understand what the parsley was supposed to symbolize – hope, renewal,
and rebirth as well as our connection with the earth itself.
The first time I ever heard about “organic food” was when I was living on Kibbutz Lotan, a Reform Kibbutz in southern Israel more
than 20 years ago. Many of the founders of the Kibbutz were fellow Californians who had grown up at Camp Swig and moved to Israel as
a way to live their ideals as Reform Jews. It was this same idealism that led them to begin experimenting in organic farming.
These Reform kibbutzniks understood that Judaism calls us to ethical action in all areas of our life, including how we treat the earth
and what we put in our bodies. More recently, Rabbi Eric Yoffie called on the Reform Movement to “find a way to eat that is right for the
farm workers, right for the planet, right for our bodies and right for our souls. Let’s find a way, as Reform Jews, to elevate every bite that
we place in our mouths and make it a taste of the divine.”

For Now. . . continued from page 1
Three years ago our congregation created a “Sustainable Living Committee” dedicated to
helping us change both how we think and how we act, so that we can incorporate our religious
values into our life style.
That simple act of dipping the parsley in the salt water at the Passover Seder reminds us
to say blessings for the many miracles that can be found in the natural world and not to take
them for granted.
So this year as you dip the parsley in the salt water, and the Haggadah talks about our
liberation from Egypt, also discuss what “liberation” means in terms of how we treat our bodies
and our planet. Can we liberate ourselves from an agricultural system that is overly dependent
on toxic chemicals? Can we liberate our lifestyle from needless waste and consumption? Can
we liberate ourselves from diets that do not honor our bodies as holy vessels created in the
image of God?
Changing the way we live is difficult. But we can start with small steps. At least for the
seder, try to go organic or buy locally grown food, if not for the entire meal, at least for the
ritual food items.
If you’re interested in learning more about organic farming, come help with our new
congregational organic garden. We’re hoping to harvest our first crop of vegetables just in time
for our B’nai Israel Seder on March 30, and mark April 23 on your calendar as the Sustainable
Living Shabbat. We will be studying the idea that Rabbi Yoffie calls “ethical eating.” Make
sure you stay for the oneg; they always make eating healthy taste great.
If you would like to get involved with our Sustainable Living Committee, please contact
Megan Florida, the chair of the Social Action Committee at 446-1673.
May you have a healthy and joyous Pesach.

President/Women of B’nai Israel
We Need to Know…
By Jay Schenirer, President
CBI’s leadership, both clergy and lay, spend a great deal of time developing and implementing the multitude
of programs that are offered at the temple. Decisions about what services and programs to provide and when to
provide them are often difficult and involve a balancing act of resources, both monetary and human. A thorough
understanding of what our members want and when they want it will ensure that we use our limited resources
most effectively and efficiently.
On the other side of the ledger, it is also critical for us to better identify the skills and talents of our
congregants, and what they might be prepared to do for the congregation as a whole and specifically for their
fellow members. This is both true in the big picture and for some very specific needs. For example, in these
difficult times, knowing who might be able to lend a hand to those who are suffering – kindness which can take
many forms - would help us in supporting both our own community and the community around us. More specifically at this point,
we really need support to upgrade and maintain the CBI website and take full advantage of today’s social marketing opportunities.
In response and as a first step, board member Alex Swedlow has undertaken a project to update, upgrade and expand the information
in our database. In many cases, our knowledge is based on your original membership application. Having correct emails for our
families will allow us to save on paper and postage. Getting feedback on some of the new programs we’ve started – K’hillah, Achim,
or the new father and sons group – so that we know we are on the right track. Overall, having better, more accurate information will
help us make better board decisions and better budget decisions, and ultimately better serve your needs.
Over the next month or so, every Temple member will receive a call from a Board member asking them to complete a Congregational
survey. You’ll have the option of doing this yourself on the Internet (Survey Monkey), on a paper copy, or we’ll help over the phone.
We hope to use this information this year in creating our budget, and then on an ongoing basis as our leadership develop and implant
programs. As good stewards, we want to ensure that we are using the Temple’s resources as effectively as possible.

Women of B’nai Israel
WBI Offers New Programs This Spring
By Carol Goodman-Gane, WBI President
Spring is just around the corner and the Women of B’nai Israel will sponsor several exciting programs, both
traditional and new, during the upcoming months. All of these new activities are open to the entire congregation,
not just WBI members, and I’m so pleased to be able to tell you about them!
Our first March offering is completely new and is only a few days away! On Wednesday, March 3,
WBI member and past president, Judie Panneton, will host the first of two evenings of Legacy Writing. All
congregants, both women and men, are invited to join Judie 7 - 9 pm at the temple, where you will learn to
do legacy/memoir writing that focuses on your reflections and wisdom. This writing will become a gift for
you and for future generations of your family. Please let Judie know if you want to attend by emailing her at
[email protected] or by calling her at 916-444-2944. The second Legacy Writing session will be held on
Wednesday evening, April 14, 7 - 9 pm at the temple. You’ll have a second evening to work on creating a meaningful memoir of
your life, and remember, there is no charge for these sessions.
On Wednesday, March 10, WBI member Dr. Stacia Levy will lead WBI’s new book group. Anita Diamant’s latest novel, Day
after Night, will be the subject of the evening discussion, which will be held 7 - 9 pm in the temple library and is open to all members
of the congregation at no charge. The book is available at major retailers, such as Borders, and participants should come having read
the book and prepared for a lively discussion on characters, plot, setting, and themes. Please let Stacia know if you’ll be attending
by emailing her at [email protected] or by calling her at 916- 806-3693.
Passover is early this year! Our Second Night Seder, sponsored as always by WBI, will be held on Tuesday night, March 30.
And as always, this event is open to the entire Jewish community. If you’re planning to attend, please call Melissa McElheney at
916-205-0317 right away and make your reservations, and look for the flyer in this month’s Koleinu that provides you with all the
necessary details.
Our own Merle Serlin, WBI member and well known Sacramento artist, will again host WBI’s Public Art Tour the afternoon
of Sunday, May 16. As always, the tour is open to all, so save the date!!
On Sunday, June 6, WBI will hold its biennial installation event, at which time we will be installing Andee Press-Dawson as
the new president of Women of B’nai Israel. She and her new board will be installed at a brunch in the Opper Courtyard, so be sure
to save this date as well!
Although this month’s column is designed to help you look ahead to the next few months, I would be remiss if I didn’t talk
briefly about our wonderful WBI member-only event, “Living Longer, Living Better,” which was held on January 31. I’m sure every
single one of the nearly 70 attendees will tell you this program was one of our best ever, with four outstanding speakers (including
our own Dr. Marion Leff and Natanya Green) who talked to us about bone health, skin care, and how to handle the stress in our lives.
The speakers were engaging, the food delicious, and the décor festive. Special thanks go to Barbara Colton, Andee Press-Dawson,
Judie Panneton, Eileen Jacobowitz, and Sandy Lee for all of their work in planning and executing a superb afternoon event, and also
to Terry Press-Dawson for being there and supporting WBI with his music and his quiet charm.
Please join us this month and over the next several months, as we offer new opportunities to learn and create. A joyous Passover
to all of you and I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming activities!
. . . that while at the Seder we eat matzoh, charoset, bitter herbs
and parsley, only matzoh is mentioned in the Bible.
The world is hugged by the faithful arms
of volunteers.
~ Everett Mamor
. . . that of all the Jewish holidays, Pesach is the one most commonly observed, even by otherwise non-observant Jews.

Education
Learning Profile –
Camp Shelanu
By Rabbi King-Tornberg,
Director of Lifelong Jewish Learning
March
Youth Education
Dates to Remember
It seems strange to be thinking
about summer camp in the cool
breezes of March, but for those
of us planning for the summer of
2010, this thinking is well underway.
We are entering our 4th year of
Camp Shelanu, a summer that will
include friendship, fun, and learning
for everyone who joins our camp
community.
Before my official arrival at
B’nai Israel, a camp committee member shared with me
an anecdote that she believes helped lead to the creation of
Camp Shelanu (the only non-Orthodox summer day camp in
the Sacramento region). She explained how she was talking
with a student about the Jewish things they were planning
to do during the summer. The student replied that they were
not Jewish during the summer, referring to the fact that our
religious school goes on summer recess. It was then that she
and others realized that B’nai Israel could and should be an
address for summer Jewish learning. I was so glad to be joining
a community that takes seriously not just lifelong learning, but
also yearlong learning; a community that remains committed
to creating meaningful Jewish moments for each and every
day.
I was moved by this story, and I am pleased that our
camp committee and staff this summer continue to plan for
engaging Jewish learning and community building. We are
looking forward to another summer, exploring Jews and
Jewish practices from other lands, important Israeli artists and
scientists, and how to make the world a better place through
tikkun olam, to name just a few of the topics and themes that
will be part of our summer. We will again have our Tayarim
“Travelers” program for 7th and 8th graders, water play and
fun field trips. Families interested in learning more about
this coming summer of fantastic friendships, courageous
counselors, super singing, lots of laughing, and a terrific time
should join us for the 2010/5770 Camp Shelanu Reunion
and Kickoff on March 14 at 12:30 in the Social Hall. Lunch
will be served along with games, art, and other fun activities.
Please join us, pick up an application, and get many of your
questions answered.

B Street Theatre fundraiser:
“Becky’s New Car”
Sunday, March 21
The delightful comedy “Becky’s New Car”
is this year’s B Street Theatre
benefit performance for the
B’nai Israel Confirmation Class.
Confirmation Class 2010:
Why We Need Your Support
By Bina Lefkovitz and Jay Schenirer
This year our son, Noah, will go on the confirmation class Israel
trip. The trip includes four weeks in Israel, preceded by a week in
Eastern Europe with a visit to Auschwitz. The experience is time
consuming and at times difficult, but incredibly rewarding.
My family is lucky; we have done this before. Our older son
David participated in the NFTY trip two years ago, so we know what
to expect and the value of the trip.
David traveled from Sacramento to New York to Warsaw to
Prague and to Tel Aviv. The journey changed him forever. He was
ambivalent about visiting the Warsaw Ghetto and Auschwitz. He was
not a regular Camp Newman kid and had limited contact with NFTY.
We were not sure he understood the purpose of the trip.
He came back with a heightened maturity from his experiences.
The ceremony at Auschwitz cemented his understanding of his family
history and the Jewish need for the State of Israel. His relationships
with kids, from New York to Louisiana, have endured. He will tell
you these are his best friends, his real friends. His participation in a
Jewish way of life has continued, but most of all, the knowledge and
the relationships made him a better person.
As we said at the outset, this can be a trying experience. The
fundraising is time-consuming and can be unfamiliar and challenging.
Fundraising from friends, family and strangers is no easy task, so that’s
why we are requesting that people understand the importance of the
trip, both for our kids and for the temple. The NFTY confirmation
class trip is more than an adventure. It binds the ties of our children
to Judaism.
Our goal at CBI is to raise half the funds for the trip. Some of
our efforts are straight fee-for-service—Parents Night Out babysitting,
car washes, B Street Theatre on March 21, a Kings game April 10,
including some time with Omri—and some are riskier, such as the
raffle about which you will receive a call. Please watch the Chadashot
and Koleinu for opportunities to participate and help.
Camp Shelanu Kick-Off!
March 14 Right After Sunday School
By Carol Moon Goldberg
Check out Camp Shelanu on March 14 just after Sunday
School. Join us for a taste of CBI’s summer day camp, featuring
fun, camp-style activities like tie-dying, singing, games, and dancing. We’ll play some bingo, paint some faces, and learn about
the plans for this summer’s camp. We’ll have lunch for everyone
and a dessert at the end.
All former campers, returning campers, want-to-be campers,
and those who are just curious are welcome. Please join us in
exploring Camp Shelanu March 14, 12:30-2:00.
Please contact Carol Moon Goldberg 916-684-4622 or
[email protected] or Wendy Fischer 501-1197 for more
information.

CBI Brotherhood/CBI Bulletin Board
Notes From the (Brother)Hood
By Jeff Rabinovitz, President
I hope you have all heard by now how successful our second Achim, a Men’s Study Group was in February.
As the buzz grows we hope all of our men will be excited to join us. The next event is something that I hope we
will turn into a new B’nai Israel tradition - a men’s seder, to be held Sunday before the first seder. It will be March
28, probably at 7 pm, but there will be more information coming out. Our lovely rebitzzen, Glenn Hammel, will
be leading this. The Haggadah was created by the Men of Reform Judaism (MRJ) and Glenn is really excited
that this can be a wonderful event. There will be a charge for this because the Boyz in the Backroom (our kitchen
dudes) will be providing the dinner. With Dave Lewis directing traffic I guarantee this will be a delicious meal, as
well as a good time. Please mark you calendars and plan on attending. We will be sending out emails and will put
information in the Chadashot.
Our last Brotherhood Brunch with Rabbi Naomi Levy was a resounding success. We had close to 100 people attending and nobody
went hungry, except maybe Rabbi Levy who declined our offer of a brunch plate. The meal preparation was a breeze because we had 12
volunteers. Thanks to everybody who helped and hopefully we can get another 12 for our next event. We are planning another Brunch
in the next month so watch the Chadashot and your brotherhood emails for details.
Just a gentle reminder to send in your $38 brotherhood dues for the coming year. We need your financial support to continue to offer
our programming, but genuinely want your presence to make our events even better.
The Zevi Watch: Zevi continues to be a real character. The other day he burped and quite nonchalantly said, “Excuse you.”
Apparently, when he burps at daycare he is told by the staff, “Zevi, excuse you.” He continues to give the best hugs this side of paradise.
Grandchildren are our reward for making it through parenthood.
In parting, remember as you go through life in search of your goal, look for the donut not for the hole.
May the winter bring lots of rain in the valley and snow in the mountains, and may April find the Kings in the playoffs.
Support the Confirmation Class
at B Street Theatre
By Dale Kasler
A car dealership and a midlife crisis are the basis of
“Becky’s New Car,” a clever comedy that’s this year’s
Confirmation Class fundraiser at the B Street Theatre.
The show is set for Sunday evening, March 21, in the
theater’s main auditorium at 2711 B St.
Once again, the generous folks at B Street are opening
their doors to support the Confirmation Class’ trip to Israel
and Eastern Europe this summer.
“Becky’s New Car,” by Pulitzer Prize-nominated
playwright, Steven Dietz, is described by critics as wacky,
wistful and more than a little poignant. Becky gets along OK
at her desk job at a car dealership, but a chance encounter
with a wealthy suitor sends her on what might be the craziest ride of her entire life.
The door opens at 6 pm with complimentary appetizers.
Wine will be available for sale. The show begins at 7 pm.
Free dessert will be served during intermission.
Tickets are $35 each, and are available from Confirmation Class parents Dale Kasler and Twila Morris, Lisa and
Rob Wiener-Brodkey, Darrell and Julie Steinberg, Jeff and
Ida Clair, Sharon Gerber, Jay Schenirer and Bina Lefkowitz, Steve Meinrath and Helen Nusbaum, Scott Cohn and
Melinda Shapro Cohn, Sally and Barry Hirschowitz, and
Ralph Propper.
Any questions, please call Dale and Twila at
916-492-2815.
The Wine & Food Festival is
Coming Up
By Twila Morris
It started ten years ago with modest dreams – and has grown into
the must-do social event of the entire year at B’nai Israel.
That’s right, the Wine, Food & Dance Festival is coming up. Our tenth
anniversary event is set for Saturday evening, May 1, in the Social
Hall.
Back by popular demand is Steelin’ Dan, the Steely Dan tribute
band that dazzled us at last year’s event and turned the building into a
giant dance hall.
There’s a new wrinkle for Year 10: In addition to our always
popular silent auction, we’re holding a brief “live” auction with special
items.
As always, nearly two dozen of the region’s and the world’s finest
wineries will be represented, plus about a half dozen of Sacramento’s
best restaurants and caterers.
Last year’s event drew a record crowd, and we’re hoping to improve on that this year. Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door.
If you’ve joined the temple since July 1, or are a member under our
“young adult” dues category, you can get two tickets for the price of
one.
Check your mail for the formal invitation and RSVP as soon as
you can. You can also buy tickets right away on Payquiq at the temple’s
web site, www.bnais.com – just make sure to note in the payment form
that you’re buying tickets to the wine festival.
If you have questions, please call this year’s event chairs, Dale
Kasler and Twila Morris at 916-492-2815.

Join WBI member and Past President Judie Panneton for two evenings of
writing about the most important person on the planet—you! WBI invites all
members of our congregation, both men and women, to join Judie in legacy/
memoir writing that focuses on your reflections and wisdom. This writing
will become a gift for you and for future generations of your family. Judie,

the process of tapping your brain and heart to capture what’s important to
you.
Bring a pen and paper to the temple with you on March 3, and again
on April 14, 7 - 9 pm, and be prepared to create a meaningful memoir of
your life. We will let you know the room in which the class will be held

The Sustainable Living Pledge: What We Eat Matters to Us
as Jews
By Elizabeth Landsberg
At this year’s United Reform Judaism (URJ) Biennial, URJ President Rabbi Eric Yoffie focused on the importance of what
and how we eat, unveiling the “Just Table, Green Table” initiative. Rabbi Yoffie explained, “We know, of course, that eating is a
biological necessity; but, beginning with Abraham, Jews have seen eating as more than a mechanical act. We are heirs of a tradition
that makes a distinction between food and nourishment, between refueling the body and replenishing body and soul. We understand
the physicality of eating, but, at the same time, we work very hard to transcend and transform it.” Rabbi Yoffie urged synagogues
to develop policies about food that are in keeping with our Jewish values.
# 3 of B’nai Israel’s Sustainable Living Pledge is to “shop at a farmer’s market to purchase locally grown produce once a
month.”
#3 of the youth pledge is to “grow one thing my family can eat.” Why is it important for us as Jews and Guardians of the
Earth to form a connection with our food and be mindful of what we eat? As Rabbi Yoffie explained, “Eating can be a gateway to
holiness,” and eating locally is part of this gateway. By eating food grown close to home our carbon footprint is smaller because
our food hasn’t travelled thousands of miles. We also support local economies and get to know nearby farmers. The youth pledge
encourages the most local food possible – food grown in your own home or yard. Even one herb or tomato plant would fulfill this
pledge. Experience the miracle of planting a seed, watching it grow, and enjoying the delicious food you helped grow.
If you haven’t signed the pledge yet, please consider doing so. You can find both the adult and youth pledge forms in the Social
Action section of our website: http://bnais.com/social_action.cfm.
CBI Camping Trip with Rabbi Alfi
May 21 - 22
By Terri Gaines
Question: When does Shabbat end?
Answer: When three stars are visible in the sky.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be in a place where we can actually figure this out for ourselves? How about in the great outdoors
surrounded by majestic Giant Sequoia redwood trees? Please join
Rabbi Alfi and other members of our congregational community
at Calaveras Big Trees on Friday, May 21, and we will! We have
reserved the group camping site at Calaveras Big Trees State Park
for the weekend of May 21 and 22 for the first annual CBI camping
trip. This park is located 4 miles northeast of Arnold, California, in
Calaveras County and is home to the North Calaveras Grove of Giant
Sequoias. Yes, there are flush toilets, and showers are available. All
ages are welcome and encouraged to join in the fun.
While details for the weekend are still being formulated, we
envision a weekend of fun, outdoor activities, music, community, and
of course good food. The site can accommodate 60 people so space
is limited. Please contact Terri Gaines at [email protected] or
Marjorie Katz at [email protected] for more information, and
email Sandora Di Fiore, Rabbi Alfi’s assistant, at [email protected]
to reserve your spot.

Connections Small and Grand About Liz Igra
Robert Romer
Beloved father of Sunny Romer
Beloved grandfather of
Noah and Aron Oblath
Liz Igra is a Holocaust survivor born in Krakow, Poland. After she and
her mother escaped from the Czorkow ghetto in October 1942, they hid on
false papers, crossed the Carpathian Mountains on foot, spent some time in a
Budapest jail and were released, only to go into hiding when Germany took
complete control of Hungary. Liz and her mother were liberated in 1945 and
returned to Poland to find only one other member of their family.
After time in Poland and France, she and her mother immigrated to Australia and then came to the U.S. in 1968. Liz has been an elementary and high
school teacher, administrator, workshop presenter, and helped start Shalom
School in Sacramento. In the last twenty years she has been a guest speaker
in many classrooms and teacher conferences. Many teachers confirmed her
personal observations, that even the best seminars do not equip teachers to
meet the challenges of teaching about the Holocaust. So Liz founded the
Central Valley Holocaust Educators’ Network.
Liz hopes her story will lead to a better understanding of the Holocaust
and the important lessons to be learned.
The March 21 meeting will be held at 10 a.m. at the Albert Einstein
Residence Center, 1935 Wright St., Sacramento. For more information about
the Jewish Genealogical Society of Sacramento, visit www.jgss.org, e-mail

Brundibar is Coming to Sacramento
April 8, 9, 10, 11
By Susan Hayward
Brundibár, the famous children’s Holocaust opera, will be performed by
the Sacramento Children’s Chorus, backed by the Sacramento Youth Symphony, with production assistance by the Sacramento Opera. Performances
will be given at Hiram Johnson Auditorium on April 8, 9, 10, and 11. There
will be two additional matinee performances especially for students. The
opera will be sung in English. In addition, there will be selections from “I
Never Saw Another Butterfly.”
Composed in the years leading up to World War II, Brundibár is a timeless fable of innocence triumphing over evil. The composer, Hans Krása,
was sent to the Terezin concentration camp in 1943 and led the children of
Terezin in more than 55 performances of the opera in the camp.
To help teachers put Brundibár into historical context for their students
who will be attending the special matinee performances, CVHEN, the Central Valley Holocaust Educators’ Network, conducted two workshops in
February on “How to Prepare Your Students for Brundibár.” The teachers
received background and resources on the historical context of Terezin and
the Holocaust. They also were introduced to books that students can read to
gain perspective on the lives of Terezin’s children.
Mosaic Law graciously donated the use of the K-O-H Library for the
workshops, which were funded by the Sacramento Opera and supported by
the JCRC.
Tickets for the opera are $10 for children and students, and $15 for adults.
To purchase tickets, please call the Sacramento Opera at 916-737-1000.
