Congregation brith sholom President kevin hausman rabbi Michael singer Rabbi emeritus: rabbi allen juda Volume XXV No. 11 ~ NOVEMBER 2014 HESHVAN 5775 ~ KISLEV 5775 KristalLnacht Commemoration— “NOTE NOTE TIME CHANGE” Join us November 9, 1-4 PM in the Nancy Center Social Hall to view the 2013 movie, The Book Thief (PG). Starring Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson and Sophie Nelisse and based on the best-selling 2005 book by Australian author, Markus Zusak, the movie, set in WWII Germany, tells the story of a young girl who finds solace by stealing books to share with others, at the same 3me as her adop3ve parents shelter a Jew in the basement of their home. Join us as we watch the movie and nibble popcorn and, in the end, Rabbi Singer will lead the discussion of what we have just seen in the warmth of each other’s company. The event is open to the community. No reserva3ons necessary. Please bring family, friends, Jew and Gen3le, as we remember Kristallnacht and its modern message. PUBLISHED MONTHLY CONGREGATION BRITH SHOLOM BETHLEHEM, PA 18017 Tel: 610-866-8009 Fax: 610-866-8000 SUBMISSION DEADLINE: All information must be received in writing or copy ready by the 15th of each month. Any article received after the deadline will be published in the next Bulletin. Rabbi’s message Talking Turkey I love turkey. The smell of turkey in the oven, stuffing on the stovetop, and a little gravy overtop – ah, a little bit of paradise. And when it comes to Thanksgiving like most Americans, my ideal meal is some nice juicy slices of turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, stuffing and yes, my aunt Rose’s jello-mold. Interestingly, the Hebrew word for turkey is tarnegol-hodoo or just hodoo for short, which shares its letters with the Hebrew word for thanks – todah. Therefore, turkey in Hebrew literally means – bird of thanks. How appropriate that the food for the day itself, enlightens us to the central meaning behind the holiday. As we sit down with our families to celebrate, it is all too easy to ignore the struggle of so many in our community who struggle not just during this season but each day to provide food for themselves and their families. How many of our neighbors will be spending Thanksgiving worrying about jobs, homes, food? How many seniors will have to make decisions between buying the medicine they need or paying their rent? It is no wonder that at the end of a meal our tradition inserts the Grace (Birkat HaMazon), which in one fell swoop is both a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the food we just enjoyed, and just as powerfully a petition to God to provide food to those in need. With this sentiment in mind, I would propose the following turkey talk for the Thanksgiving table: What does it mean that…? What can I do to help…? • Over 35.5 million Americans, including over 12.6 million children, suffer from hunger or live on the edge of hunger. • 17.2 % of children in the U.S. live in hungry or food insecure households. • 4.0 % of U.S. households experience hunger. • 9.4% of Americans 65 years of age and older live in poverty. • 12% of rural households in the United States face hunger every day, an estimated. 2.3 million households. • 14.5 % of American households are food insecure at least some time during the year. Meaning 1 in 7 American homes are at risk of hunger. • Food stamp participants tend to leave the program frequently. Half of all individuals who enter the Food Stamp Program stay 8 months or less and 61% exit within 1 year. • The average gross income of food stamp households is $673 per month. • According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food Stamp Program is the nation’s single most important resource in the fight against hunger. Eligible individuals must earn a net income below 130% or less of the federal poverty line. • To be eligible for free school lunches, children’s families must earn at or below 130% of the federal poverty line. (The above statistics can be found on the Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger Website) I hope you will receive this article long before Turkey Day. Therefore please, if you have not already done so – buy a pie from our Project Pie (ALL proceeds will go to our local JFS) and bring food for the Jewish Federation Young Adult Division Thanksgiving food drive. May you and your whole family sit down to enjoy some delicious turkey, and some good turkey- talk this Thanksgiving! 2 Schedule of Services SHABBAT Everyone is invited to attend and participate in the beauty of the Shabbat Services and the Kiddush that follows.
