FROM THE RABBI’S STUDY Rabbi Irwin Zeplowitz
10 Lessons in 10 YearsLooking back on a decade in this wonderful community, what lessons have I learned, tried to teach or just been reminded of?
1. Time is not constant. These past 10 years seem to have gone much faster than my early days in the rabbinate, and I continually wonder, “Where did the time go?” The constraints of time remind me that I can’t do it all. It’s best to just slow down to do the best with each day and making the most of where I am right now makes each moment sweeter. “This is the day God has made ... be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24
2. The day is short, so make the most of each one doing something worthy (and worthwhile). I know I can be impatient (I keep working on that), but the press of time reminds me that I don’t have forever to do what matters. Every moment is a precious gift that only comes once, so “Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)
3. You can always make new friends. People often say that you make your best friends
when your children are young. In truth, good friends can come at any stage of life when the heart is open, and I am grateful that I (and my family) have been embraced by so many here. It is a
reminder to continually strive to “Acquire for yourself a friend.” (Pirkei Avot 1:6)
4. God closes some doors so others can be opened. No one walks
through life without disappointment, loss,

PRESIDENT’S LETTER Larry Helft
Jewish Life is Alive and Well in BrazilJust before Passover, Bea and I went on vacation to Brazil. In a country with 200 million people
and a Jewish population of 150,000, we had very modest expectations of being able to see much in the way of a Jewish presence there. Boy, were we wrong. We ran into signs of a vigorous Jewish community almost everywhere. I wasn’t sure if I was in Rio or Tel Aviv.
Our first stop was Rio de Janeiro, a city of six million with 25 thousand Jews. Arriving at our hotel on Copacabana Beach, it was too early to check in, so we left our luggage, went for a walk on the beach, and looked for a cafe for a cup of coffee. We quickly came upon the Chai Delly. It was filled with boxes of matzah and Jewish artifacts, and had a big ad from an Israeli professor offering Hebrew language lessons. That evening we went to see the amazing sunset from Ipanema Beach. At the nearby shopping mall attached to the Sofitel Hotel we met Mr. Kellner, a Bronx-born Jew who lived in Israel for several years and was now running a jewelry store in Rio. The next day, following our guidebook’s recommendation, we went to The Bakery for lunch. Here we were presented not only with a host of Passover items but also a wide variety of kosher for Passover cakes one
could order. Around the corner was Clube Israelita Brasiliero (CIB), a combination JCC (with swimming pool), youth lounge and beautiful Orthodox synagogue. We came to learn that CIB was one of eighty Jewish institutions in Rio.
The next day we took a tour of two of Rio’s favelas (slums). Our tour guide was Rachel, who spent five years in Israel. On the way back, we walked past a sign for “Brooklyn Construction,” a firm whose logo was a large Jewish star, and saw a bookshop that had Jewish books prominently displayed. That evening, on the way to a samba club, we saw a jewelry store with a necklace inscribed “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” (in Hebrew).
On Friday night, we went to services at the Associacao Religiosa Israelita do Rio de Janeiro (ARI). This is the largest Reform synagogue in Rio, about 900 member families. There were over 600 congregants in attendance, all actively participating. Their own hardbound siddur, entirely in Hebrew, meant we could participate too. Several congregants started conversations with us, making us feel welcome. We were told that over 500 people pray there every Friday night, and it looked to us like a very close-knit community. The new president was being inducted and he gave the sermon instead of the Rabbi. One thing, however,
was the same as in Port Washington – Bea was the only one wearing a hat. We came home that evening to find “Yentl” playing on the TV in English with Portuguese subtitles.
The next Friday found us in Sao Paulo, a larger city (11 million) with 80,000 Jews. Although we didn’t see many signs of Jewish life like we did in Rio, our city tour guide pointed out an upscale neighborhood ‘where a lot of Jews live’. Some men were dressed in Orthodox garb. We found the address of the Congragacio Israelita Paulista, a Reform congregation with 2000 families. The initial experience was different, though. The building was completely unmarked, and when we approached and took a photo, someone dashed from across the street and ordered us to delete it from the camera. It turned out that the synagogue was not at the address we were given, but was across the street, with double gates, guards at both of them, and someone checking our documents, needed to gain entrance. Once inside, however, we attended another entirely-Hebrew, mostly-sung service with over 500 regularly-attending congregants. The rabbi was warm and his sermon apparently funny. Bea left her hat at the hotel.
Best,Larry

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL Shari Isserles
Principally SpeakingThis year we changed around our education program for our high school students in an effort to better meet the needs of today’s teens. As part of the new format, Hebrew Chai, we have offered pods or learning experiences throughout the year. With this model, we have offered various 3-4 week learning pods,
overnight and full day experiential programs and a chance to learn about and become a philanthropist through our Jewish Teen Funders Board. We have teens that have taken part in activities throughout the year, and we have had those who have chosen to just take part in one offering. Either way, we welcome all the teens in our community to get involved in some piece of the Hebrew Chai puzzle. It has been a great year with our teens, and we have some highlight pictures below.

Inset and top right: Our Hebrew Chai teens proved to be great in the kitchen when we visited Hope Lodge, a cancer care residency, in NYC and cooked dinner for the residents.

failure and heartache. We don’t seek the pain – or want it – yet with it comes the opportunity to learn things about life or ourselves that lead us in new directions that help us become more complete, realistic or at peace. “Open for me the gates ... that I may go into them.” (Psalms 118:19)
5. There is a time to fight. I have never sought to needlessly create debate, but in a world so in need of repair, conflict is not inherently bad if in the service of what is true and just. We are the children of Israel, the man who struggled with God and humanity. Our job is to see the world not as it is, but as it ought to be. There are things we stand for as Jews – and not everyone can (or should be) always made happy. “The world depends on three things: on truth, on justice and on peace.” (Pirkei Avot 1:18)
6. There is a time to float. There is a lot
of truth in the cliché “don’t sweat the small stuff.” No matter how much we try to master our lives, much is out of our control. Inner satisfaction often comes from finding the ability to accept what I cannot change. This is not a denial of the need to strive, just not to struggle with what I cannot control. “My soul is in Your hand.” (Adon Olam)
7. In an unreasonable world, reason matters. I am a Jew because of faith. Faith can be a source of strength, but it can – too adamantly held and imposed on others – be a terribly destructive force. I am a Reform Jew because I believe God gives women and men the ability to think – and use reason to collectively find answers (or, at least, solutions) to life’s great problems. “The Torah speaks in the language of humanity (i.e. for us to interpret).” (Sifre Numbers 112)
8. Feel/Enjoy life. It is important to
think, but in the end, relationships are built through the terrifying and wonderful blessing of emotion. The older I get, the more I cry seeing newborns or the moment a couple meets before coming under the huppah or at the graveside. It hurts less to not feel anything, but that also keeps us from the power of others to touch our souls. Feeling is the gift – and price – of love. “At the end, a person is called to account for every permissible thing s/he might have enjoyed, but did not.” (Jerusalem Talmud , Kiddushin 4:12)
9. A person is his/her story. Listen to it. One of the Bible’s great insights is the understanding that who we are is often defined by our “story.” The key is learning to listen to the story each person has – and the uniqueness brought because of it. Jewish narratives are not about saints, but real
LAMA *HML RABBI DANNY BURKEMAN
Why Say the Kaddish?QUESTION Why do we say the Kaddish when mourning for a loved one?
ANSWER Judaism has a whole series of regulations and rituals which are undertaken as part of the mourning process. For many people the most important responsibility on those who are mourning for a loved one is the recitation of the mourners Kaddish, the prayer with which we conclude almost every service.
While the Kaddish does not speak about death, rather it is a statement about God’s sovereignty and supremacy. And yet it become the prayer which is most associated with the Jewish rituals of mourning.
Before coming to the why of saying the Kaddish it is important to deal with the who. Traditionally there are seven relatives for whom we are supposed to recite the Kaddish as mourners. This list is taken from the Torah (Leviticus 21), where the Priest is told that he can defile himself for his mother, father, wife or husband, son, daughter, brother and sister. These are the official relatives for whom we mourn, and say the Kaddish. However, there is also the principle that ‘those we mourn for, we also mourn with’. In this way a person mourns for their husband or wife, and therefore mourns with them for their parents-in-law.
The Kaddish became the prayer which is associated with mourning as a result of a story involving Rabbi Akiva (one of the
greatest Rabbis of the Talmud). It is said that he encountered a man who was dead, but had not been able to ascend to heaven, and was suffering continued punishment here on earth. He told Akiva that the only way to be redeemed would be for his son to stand among the community and recite the Kaddish, and for the congregation to respond and bless God’s name. The challenge was that his son,
as it transpired, had received no Jewish education. Akiva went and found the boy, he taught him the prayers, so that the boy could recite the Kaddish freeing his father’s soul to rise up to Heaven.
Finally there is the how of reciting the Kaddish. The first tradition is that the Kaddish should only be recited with a minyan, ten people, present. And then there is a question of time. For a parent we recite the Kaddish for eleven months (we do not recite it for a full year, as no-one should require a full years worth of Kaddish) and for the other relatives the tradition is that we
recite the Kaddish for thirty days, throughout the month of Shloshim. Jewishly mourning for a parent is more intense than anyone else. It is for this reason that when the ritual of kriah (the tearing of a garment or a ribbon) is fulfilled for a parent it is torn above the heart, while for everyone else the tear is on the other side.

HANGIN’ WITH POWTY
Senior POWTY and Junior POWTY members had a wonderful month of events in April! Senior POWTY members learned to make pizza from Rabbi Z, who was our celebrity chef at Holiday Culinary Academy, in the beginning of the month. We celebrated Shabbat together twice this month, and helped to lead Shabbat evening services on April 26th! We also enjoyed the return of one of our favorite events from two years ago: POWTY’s Lower East Side Photo Scavenger Hunt! We invited teens from SCARTY (Scarsdale Synagogue Temple Youth) to join us for this event, which started with a tour of the Eldridge Street Synagogue in NYC’s Lower East Side, and then led us to historical landmarks all over the area, which is rich in Jewish American history. We ate our way through some of the best, historical spots of this fun area, and spent an entire day enjoying learning about our Jewish history and identity with friends both new and old! Senior POWTY members also spent an entire weekend with friends from NFTY-NAR at Spring Kallah at Eisner Camp in the Berkshires April 19-21.
Last month, Junior POWTY members celebrated our second Junior POWTY Shabbat together this year, where we recited prayers and enjoyed Shabbat dinner together in the youth lounge, and then attended Shabbat evening services with our entire
synagogue community. This month, all of Junior POWTY’s 8th graders are invited to join Senior POWTY for our programs! We are excited to welcome the incoming 9th graders and newest Senior POWTY members into our group, and hope they’ll join us for our Senior POWTY events in May!
Next month, members of both Senior and Junior POWTY have the chance to join us for some fun programs before the school year comes to an end. Don’t miss these upcoming events in May:• May 3–May 5, all weekend–NFTY-
NAR Junior Youth Group Kallah at URJ Kutz Camp (for 6th & 7th grade Junior POWTY members, registration required)
• May 17, 6:30-9:30 pm – Last Senior POWTY Shabbat of 5773 and pre-elections meeting (8th graders invited)
• May 28, 7-9 pm – Senior POWTY Board 5774 Elections (8th – 11th graders invited)The month of May is full of events for our
Junior and Senior POWTY members to get involved in. I look forward to seeing many of our teens at these programs!

people – noble and flawed, virtuous and backsliding. I hope I’ve become a better listener (I’m trying) – and, in the process, to just accept people more for who they are. “To answer before listening is folly.” (Proverbs 18:10)
10. The lessons of life can’t be counted. As much as I try to limit what I’ve learned (or think I have), I realize that there are always so many more people to learn from and so much more wisdom to gain. Making a list is helpful, but life is too rich, too crazy and way, way (!) too unpredictable to think we have ever really got it all clear. It just helps to pay attention a bit more. “Let the wise listen ... and (thereby) add to their learning.” (Proverbs 1:5)
May I only be granted the wisdom to continue to learn many more lessons – and to hear them from you.
