Rabbi’s Message

A Passover Mitzvah

This winter has brought us record breaking temperatures here in New York, as

we have shivered our way through the deep freeze. Our neighbors to the north

in Boston have been buried under multiple snowstorms that crippled their city.

Our fellow Americans in the South have slipped and skidded across roads cov-

ered with treacherous ice. Even Niagara Falls has frozen over! In the midst of

weather like this, it is inevitable that we will breathe a sigh of relief at how for-

tunate most of us are to have the refuge of heat and hot water in our homes, and

the comfort of several good meals every day. But also in these moments, we

remember those who are not blessed with that same comfort. As Jews particu-

larly, we remember that there are tens of thousands of our fellow Jews in the

Metropolitan Area who do not enjoy the same bounty as we do. That is why the

New York Board of Rabbis conducts its annual Passover Appeal - so that our

Jewish brothers and sisters in the area who are disadvantaged, alone, or institu-

tionalized, will be able to share in the joy of Passover along with the rest of us.

The annual Passover Appeal of the New York Board of Rabbis grows out of the long-standing tradition of

ma’ot chittin. Historically, the elders of the community would collect for a fund to buy wheat with which to

bake matzah. The rules of the fund were simple: those who needed it took from it, those who did not need

it gave to it. Each year as a congregation, along with our sister congregations throughout New York, we at

Union Temple have continued this tradition of ma’ot chittin by responding to this appeal with overwhelming

kindness and generosity. I hope that this year will be no exception. I am proud to be associated with the

NYBR, particularly because of the chesed - compassion - embodied by this annual appeal, and carried out

by the chaplains of the NYBR all year round.

As we have done each year, we ask you to make out a check, for whatever amount is comfortable, to

“Union Temple,” earmark it “Passover Appeal,” and send it to the Union Temple Office at 17 Eastern

Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238. Or, you may contribute online with this link: http://tinyurl.com/

Appeal2015. Please specify PASSOVER APPEAL next to the option "Designate your donation to a

specific program or fund." We then will issue a collective check to the NYBR for this appeal.

Moses Maimonides, in Laws of Gifts to the Poor, a tractate of the Mishneh Torah (10:1), teaches: We are

obligated to be more scrupulous in fulfilling the commandment of tzedakah than any other positive com-

mandment because tzedakah is the sign of the righteous." As always, on behalf of all the recipients of your

contributions, and my colleagues at the NYBR, I thank you most sincerely for your kind participation in this

appeal, as together we perform the mitzvah of tzedakah, so central within our Passover celebration, and so

central the teachings of Judaism.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

Wednesday Evenings

7:30 - 9:30 PM

March 11: SYNAGOGUE AND STATE: THE ISRAELI EXPERIENCE examines the current core principles that shape Israeli jurisprudence on issues of religion and State in order to discern an emerging Israeli model for rebalancing the relationship between synagogue and State and creating a public space in which both tribal and national concerns can be met. [Dr. Hartman, and interviews with Ruth Gavison and Danny Statman]

March 25: SHARING THE PUBLIC SPHERE: NEW FOUNDATIONS FOR A JEWISH DEMOCRACY looks at cases taken from headlines to examine the way in which the challenge of sharing the public sphere is being ad-dressed in the current reality of modern Israel. [Dr. Hartman]

April 22: THE ARAB PALESTINIAN ISRAELI TRIBES explores the complex identity of Arab Palestinian Israelis and opportunities for redefining the relationship of these tribes with the modern State of Israel. [Dr. Hartman and Interviews with Amal Jabareen and Mohammad Darawshe]

April 29: TRIBES AND PEOPLEHOOD: REFLECTIONS ON LIVING IN A TRIBAL FAMILY concludes the series with a set of conversations that explore the lived experience of the Jewish people as a tribal family. [Interviews with Yossi Klein Halevi, Rabbi Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi, Dr.Yehuda Kurtzer, Melila Hellner-Eshed, Gil Troy]

Officer’s Column

Happy Purim

What sort of people would parody a book of the Bible? Well – our sort, if we are talking about the Book of

Esther and the Festival of Purim. Purim plays have been performed for hundreds of years.

Sometimes the Purimspiel is a straightforward dramatization of the Book of Esther. But more often it simultane-

ously parodies both the Book of Esther and a popular play or musical, with the actors costumed as the latter’s

characters. That is appropriate in a special way, as it reflects the hidden identities and purposes of the people in

the Book of Esther. Esther’s Jewish identity is kept secret from the King until the crisis arises; Haman has no

idea that Mordecai is the man the King wants to honor; and of course Haman’s plot is a dirty little secret until it

all comes out. God also is hidden, never mentioned in the whole Megillah, even at the miraculous turn of events.

Purim satires complete with music and dance became the popular form of Purimspiel in Eastern Europe in the

18th and 19th centuries. Some took the form of puppet shows for children. The productions for adults (which

on occasion were a little too adult) were among the inspirations for the development of Yiddish theater. Then

and even now, the Purimspiel often reflected contemporary social and political developments, as well as the

popular music and drama and comedy of the times.

And why do we do this? As Tevye would say, “Tradition!” One of several traditions of the Festival of Purim

is to eat (and not just hamentashen), drink wine, and be merry. More important are listening to the reading of

the Book of Esther, giving to the needy and sending food portions to others. Have a festive Purim, and don’t

forget the Mazon box!

No charge for dinner, but voluntary contributions would be most appreciated!

Rabbi Dr. David Fox Sandmel

Director of Interfaith Affairs for the Anti-Defamation League

will address the topic

From Pope Francis to Paris: Interfaith Relations in the 21st Century

Prior to joining the ADL staff, he held the Crown Ryan Chair of Jewish Studies at the Catholic Theological Union, in

Chicago, and served as Senior Advisor on Interreligious Affairs to the Religious Action Center and Adjunct Faculty at

the Union for Reform Judaism. From 1998-2001, he was the Jewish Scholar at the Institute for Christian & Jewish

Studies in Baltimore. There, he directed the National Jewish Scholars Project, a major initiative to promote a new

discussion within the Jewish community and between Jews and Christians about the differences and similarities be-

tween the two traditions. As part of the project, Rabbi Sandmel coordinated the publication of “Dabru Emet: A Jew-

ish Statement on Christians and Christianity,” a groundbreaking event that generated international attention in the

interfaith community and wide media coverage.

Rabbi Sandmel lectures and publishes widely on contemporary issues in Jewish-Christian relations, Jewish-Muslim relations, religion in contempo-

rary society, and the foundations of Judaism and Christianity in antiquity. He contributed the commentary on First Thessalonians to the Jewish

Annotated New Testament (Oxford University Press, 2011). He is the co-editor of Christianity in Jewish Terms (Westview, 2000), to which he has

also contributed an essay. In addition, he is the lead editor of Irreconcilable Differences? A Learning Resource for Jews and Christians (Westview Press,

2001), a study and discussion guide that focuses on core theological issues on the boundary between Judaism and Christianity. He is also involved

in Jewish-Muslim dialogue and in the tri-lateral dialogue between Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Has has team-taught a course at Catholic Theo-

logical Union with a Roman Catholic and an Imam on the Abrahamic faiths, and led interfaith study trips to Israel and the Palestinian territories.

He also served on the steering committee of In Good Faith, a CTU sponsored tri-lateral community dialogue. From 2002-2014, he participated in

the Catholic-Jewish Scholars Dialogue co-sponsored by the Jewish United Fund, the Chicago Board of Rabbis and the Archdiocese of Chicago,

and served as its chair from 2011-2014.

Rabbi Sandmel is the founding rabbi of Congregation Bet Ha’am in Portland, Maine, and also has served congregations in Cleveland and Chicago.

He graduated with honors from Ohio State University, and was ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincin-

nati. He completed his doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania where he studied the history and literature of Judaism and Christianity in the

Greco-Roman world. He is a member of the Society of Biblical Literature, the Association for Jewish Studies, and the Central Conference of

American Rabbis (CCAR).

This annual lecture honors the memory of Union Temple's beloved

Rabbi Emeritus, Rabbi Dr. A. Stanley Dreyfus, z"l,

who also served on the Rabbinics Faculty of Hebrew Union College

and chaired the Liturgy Committee and served as Placement Director of

the Central Conference of American Rabbis.

Sisterhood

Marking Women’s History Month

After a long, frigid and snowy winter, at last it’s March. There may still be some wintry winds in store for us,

but Sisterhood doesn’t mind. March is special to us—and not just for its vernal equinox. March is Women’s

History Month, and it also brings us the beginning of the Jewish month of Nisan, in which we celebrate Pass-

over and honor our matriarch Miriam.

Join us Sunday, March 22, at 10:00 AM, for a joyous Rosh Chodesh Nisan. We’ll also be observing Women’s

History Month with a vital program on A WOMAN’S BILL OF RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY, presented

by our own Sheila Katzman. Sheila will discuss the campaign that is underway for a New York City ordinance

based on the framework of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination

Against Women (CEDAW). She is the Chair of the Cities for CEDAW/NYC, and she will tell us how such an

ordinance can lead to laws that will eliminate discrimination against women and mandate equal pay for equal

work, access to health services that respond to the special needs of women and girls, access to affordable and

safe housing, improvement in educational curricula for girls, and an end to violence against women and girls.

This is an issue of enormous importance to all of us, and no one will want to miss it. Come with your friends—

and with your appetite, for, as always, there will be delicious treats as well as food for thought.

While you’re marking your calendar for March 22, keep your pen in hand and make a big circle around April

26. We have a treat in store for you on that day. Remember the Red Apple Rest on Route 17 on the way up to

the Catskills? Elaine Freed Lindenblatt, the daughter of its owner, will be with us that day to tell us all about it

and discuss her memoir, Stop at the Red Apple. Be sure to save the date!

We look forward to seeing you on March 22. Till then, remember that the plight of women all over our nation

and the world is an essential part of Sisterhood’s mission, and your dues and contributions to Sisterhood’s

Memorial Fund, Hattie Newman Happy Day Fund, and Rose Keit Flower Fund help us fulfill our pursuit of

tikkun olam. Together, we truly can work to make the world a better place for women and girls in need of

help and inspiration. Thank you for your participation.

-Barbara Brett, Secretary

The winter months bring with them lots of growth and exploration at the Preschool.

The Chickadees and Starlings are starting the unit Shapes, Colors, and Sizes. They begin the unit by learning

basic shapes and searching for them in the everyday objects in their environment. Next, they identify colors

and explore what happens when we mix them together to create new colors. Finally, they compare objects by

size and put them in order accordingly.

The Robins, Tomomi Iwamoto's two’s class, have been talking about winter and snow. They have been sing-

ing “The Snowy Day” song that gives each child a chance to respond with what they love doing in the snow.

They have also done lots of winter-related arts and crafts, making icicles, snowmen and a winter mural.

They read the book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats and acted out what Peter does in the story. After the story,

they took ice cubes, put them into a felt pocket and left them overnight to see if the ice cubes would still be found in

the pocket the next morning. When they checked the pocket the next day they found that it was empty, just as it was

in The Snowy Day. The children were fascinated and we talked about how the ice cubes "melted" away.

The Puffins, Caitlin Mullin's three’s class, are exploring everything about winter and the cold. They found out

that each snowflake is unique. They practiced their fine motor skills by cutting out a snowflake of their own.

They froze watercolor paints and made paintings with the ice cubes. They also read The Snowy Day by Ezra

Jack Keats and made their own book about what they enjoy doing on snowy days.

The Sparrows, Alex Beers' three’s class, are exploring Feelings. They are having discussions about what it

means to feel happy, sad, scared, mad, and surprised. There are Feelings Charts going up outside their room

-- ongoing notes that spring from their many Circle-time talks -- as well as portraits by the children as they

explore facial expressions and ways to identify how others are feeling. While the teaching of empathy is an

ongoing aspiration throughout the preschool years (and beyond!), this unit introduces ways to label our own

feelings and discover that we are not alone.

The Hummingbirds, Pam Apple's four’s class, are currently doing a unit on artists. They will study the art of

Pablo Picasso, Mary Cassatt, Jackson Pollock and Judith Scott. Judith Scott currently has an exhibition at the

Brooklyn Museum. Ms. Scott "uses yarn, thread, fabric, and other fibers to envelop found objects into fastidi-

ously woven, wrapped, and bundled structures." Kristen, our museum educator, came to the classroom and

wrapped objects with the children. They then went to the exhibit and the children tried to identify the objects

that Ms. Scott used in her artwork. The children have also painted portraits of each other.

THE SHALOM MEDITATION CIRCLE

Wednesday, March 18, 5:30-6:30 PM

SHEMA: Hearing the Voice Within; Becoming One with the Sound

In our Jewish spiritual teachings and practices, the “SHEMA” tells us to open not only our ears but our Mind,

Heart and Spirit to truly “Hear.” We learn to tune inward; to listen to the quiet Voice of the Soul (Neshumah).

At our SHALOM MEDITATION CIRCLE session in March, we will

use several different meditative practices: toning and chanting Hebrew

chants, accompanied by the soft strumming of a guitar, to focus the

Mind and nurture a positive, compassionate emotional state; toning the

Qi Gong sounds, corresponding to major organs of the body, to open

energy channels and remove any blockages, increasing the flow of

Energy (Qi); vibrating the crystal quartz “Heart Bowl,” as soothing

tones calm the Mind and we become One with the Sound. As we

come into Harmony with all the vibrations around us through the

process of Entrainment, we experience SHALOM, a sense of deep

Peacefulness.

Experience the peacefulness and relaxation as your stress melts away in

the warm, supportive group of the SHALOM MEDITATION CIRCLE.

No previous experience is needed. All are welcome. There is no charge for the session.

Gail Levine-Fried, Ph.D., RYT, facilitates the SHALOM MEDITATION CIRCLE each month. Gail is a

Registered Yoga teacher (RYT) and has taught Stress Management as a college professor for many years.

She has been a member of Union Temple since 1954.

Brotherhood

Brotherhood Shabbat, then Carter, Begin and Sadat

The Brotherhood Shabbat service and lunch will be on Saturday, March 28. That is Shabbat HaGadol, the

Sabbath before Passover. Brotherhood Shabbat is a favorite annual event for Brotherhood, an opportunity

to participate in leading the service, then enjoy lunch together. I’ll be sending out an email to ask what

part everyone would like in the service. And if I’ve missed you, I apologize, and please email me at

stevenmarkleo@prodigy.net.

On Sunday morning, April 19 at 10 AM, Jeff Stein will lead a book discussion about Thirteen Days in Septem-

ber by Lawrence Wright. It tells the story of the 1978 Camp David Conference – the historical background,

the three leaders, and the complex negotiations that resulted in the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. And

we’ll have bagels and coffee, too, of course.

“Chariots of Fire” won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1981. The stirring movie, told in flashback, is of two young British sprinters competing in the 1924 Olympics. Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish missionary, runs because he knows it must please God. Harold Abrahams, an English Jew, runs to over-

come prejudice and prove his place in Cambridge society. Eric refuses to run in the qualifying heat which is scheduled for a Sunday. The rest is history.

The film is also known for its instrumental theme and won the Academy Award for Best Original Score.
