RABBI’S MESSAGE
L’Chaim @ 70
There is an excitement in the air, and I am not talking about cleaning up for Pesach. In
just a few weeks we will be celebrating a monumental day on our calendar as Yom
Ha’atzmaut 2018 will be Israel @70!!!
Many communities across the globe are partnering together with RZA- Mizrachi to
celebrate this special occasion. The Shabbat before Yom Ha’atzmaut, 70 Scholars will
be visiting 70 Synagogues to teach about the Torah of Israel, and Beth Sholom is one of them. On April
14th our very own, Mrs. Naomi Schrager, wife to Jeff Schrager, who made Aliya two years ago with Jeff
and their children, will be joining us to learn all about Eretz Yisrael, in preparation for Israel @70. The
Shabbat will be filled with an excitement of learning and celebration which you will not want to miss.
During this year, Jews in Israel and around the world will feel more committed to the celebration,
because we are celebrating 70 years. What is it about the number 70? Why is the number 70 so
significant and exciting that joy is almost contagious?
The number 70 in Torah has significance in 3 distinct categories. First, we learn that the family of Jacob
was 70 in number when they went down to Egypt during the famine. The number 70 was the transition
from a family to a nation, which imbued Yisrael with a strength to withstand the upcoming exile of
Egypt for 210 years.
Second, we are taught that the Torah has 70 faces- Shiv’im Panim LaTorah, where every idea of Torah
can be taught and understood in 70 different ways. This 70 represents an endless opportunity of dialog
and conversation. The learning of Torah has not lost a beat, because its 70 keeps on giving more
opportunities to learn.
The third 70 is the one we are taught in Pirkey Avot, Ethics of our Fathers. “Ben Shiv’im LiSayva”- “A
Seventy-year-old attains a ripe old age.” 70 marks an age where there is a sense of completeness,
everything comes together, family is established, and one has made a name for themselves. On one
hand it sounds like a broader Shabbat, on the 7th day we rest, and when we reach 70 we may also rest.
However, we also look to 70 as a new beginning. King David lived until 70, and we look at life after 70
as a new start, for that reason when a Man reaches 83 and a Woman 82, we celebrate a Bar or Bat
Mitzvah, because they are working through a new cycle.
70 is the number of establishing a nation, being innovative with endless opportunity of creativity, and
sensing accomplishment, yet embracing a new beginning.
No other country and people encapsulate all these beautiful virtues more than Eretz Yisrael and Am
Yisrael. When I visited Israel just a few weeks ago, I felt a national heartbeat which embodied the
essence of 70 to its fullest. The energy which fuels the land is the most exciting kind to be part of. The
pride that I felt, and so many others, as we learned about what Israel is achieving is a pride which
motivates and gives life to all those who love it. This year is so special because as a Jew and as Am
Yisrael, we can truly feel the spirit of 70 come to life in all its glory.
Yasher Koach to all of us for taking part in the last 70 years as we have helped Israel on its journey to 70,
and Mazel Tov to us all as we will celebrate together for the great gift of Israel.
This year when we join at our Seder, to learn, eat, and sing the beautiful songs of freedom together, let
us reflect on what Israel means to our Jewish experience, how it has allowed the Torah to flourish and
how it has given the Jew a home which is so precious and welcoming.
When we sing “Next Year in Jerusalem” let us also sing with the same tune and joy “Israel is 70!”
Mazel Tov, Chag Kasher Vi’Sameach, LiChaim!!!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE At the time that I’m writing this, we’re reading Parshat Terumah in the Torah. In this
parsha, Moses is commanded to build G-d a “home,” the Tabernacle. G-d doesn’t
leave this a vague command, but gets into specifics regarding all aspects of the
structure: colors, materials, dimensions…all to the finest detail. Where did the fab-
rics, wood, gold, silver, copper and other supplies come from? Does G-d make
them miraculously appear? No. Everything has to be provided for by the communi-
ty.
Just as the Temple in Jerusalem was modeled after the Tabernacle, so is the syna-
gogue. And just as our ancestors provided for the construction of the Tabernacle,
so was our synagogue built by our predecessors in the Beth Sholom community.
We can’t forget however, that although the construction of our synagogue is com-
plete, it still requires constant maintenance and upkeep. All of us who call Congre-
gation Beth Sholom our shul have a responsibility to make sure our physical structure
is in good repair, and just as important, is warm, inviting and is filled with life.
Our first and most direct responsibility is to give financially, through our membership
dues. We make an investment in our shul when we pay our dues: An investment
that bears dividends in the form of the future of our community and the Jewish peo-
ple. Think about how many Beth Sholom children have grown up to be rabbis,
teachers and leaders across the country and in Israel. Would that have been possi-
ble without the nurturing Jewish environment provided by our community?
Our membership dues cover only a portion of our expenses, however, and we have
to rely on special fundraisers, like the Ambassadors of Humanity dinner, to bridge the
gap and make sure we’re able to proceed with our mission. For most of us, there’s
only so much we can give financially – and I applaud all of you, who give so gener-
ously (of both your time and money). The unfortunate reality is that as we move for-
ward, dues are going to account for a smaller and smaller portion of our budget
and we’re going to have to rely more and more on special funding. Beth Sholom
isn’t alone in this regard, as this is the case for many shuls across the country and
across denominations.
I don’t mean to depress anyone… if you are feeling that way after reading the pre-
vious paragraph, don’t be, because we’ve been given a wonderful and exciting
opportunity to make the long-term financial stability of Beth Sholom a reality.
Congregation Beth Sholom, along with Federation and other Rochester Jewish
Community organizations, has recently affiliated with the Life & Legacy program of
the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Through Life & Legacy, Congregation Beth Shol-
om will be able to build a significant endowment fund, through the giving of after-
lifetime gifts, which will provide substantial income in the years ahead. This can be
accomplished in numerous ways, including, a bequest in a will or a percentage of a
life insurance policy. Life & Legacy enables every one of us, during our lifetime, to
make a significant impact on the organizations we care most about, demonstrate
our commitment to Jewish values and model these actions for the next generation.
Thank you to our Life & Legacy team for helping us to proceed with this important
program: Rachel Rosen (our team leader), Rabbi Avi Kilimnick, Ahavya Deutsch and
Steve Bann. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or any
member of the team.
Over the coming months you’ll hear much more about this incredible program.
Starting this spring and over the course of the next few years, each of you will be
approached by a member of our Life & Legacy team to have a conversation about
how you can make a difference. I hope that you’ll be open and receptive, but
more importantly, I hope you will see this as a way to give back to the community
that has been, and will continue to be, here for you, your family and your dear
friends. By doing so, you will help ensure that Congregation Beth Sholom will contin-
ue to be a shining example of commitment to Torah, Israel and the Rochester Jew-
ish community for years to come.

PESACH GUIDE 5778- 2018
Pesach, the Festival of Freedom,
begins on the fourteenth day of Nisan,
at sunset Friday, March 30th and ends
with Havdalah Saturday evening April
7th after the appearance of the stars
(8:28pm). Throughout the eight days
of the festival, we abstain from eating
any chometz (leaven, i.e. that which
contains grain). One should abstain
from all foods about which there is
even a suspicion of chometz, for the
most minute amount of chometz
renders an entire product unsuitable
for use.
What is Chometz?- Wheat, rye,
barley, oats, spelt and generally
speaking, all grain and grain products
and foods or drinks made from them
are subject to the laws of chometz.
Grain vinegar and products contain
the same such as pickles, horseradish,
etc. are chometz. All articles made of
flour such as matzo, cake, macaroons,
etc. require reliable endorsements by
a "Rav." Only endorsed matzo meal or
potato starch may be used for baking.
No ordinary flour is permitted to be
used.
Endorsement is also required for
candy, soft drinks, wines, liquors, milk,
canned food and dried fruits. The
green vegetables which may not be
used are peas, all varieties of beans
and string beans. Rice MAY NOT be
used, according to Ashkenazi custom.
When buying packaged food
products, for your own safety, do not
purchase any products unless the
"Kosher L'Pesach" sign, attested to by
Rabbinical authority is obviously part of
the label printed on the container by
the manufacturers. In a questionable
case, consult the Rabbi. He will be
happy to advise you.
Children should not be fed non-
certified foods during Pesach unless a
physician has so ordered and a rabbi
has been consulted as to procedure.
Infant formula may be used under
certain conditions; consult the Rabbi.
Mechiras Chometz -Selling the
Chometz. Any chometz owned by a
Jew during the Pesach week is
forbidden for actual use forever. If,
therefore, one cannot dispose of all
chometz before the approach of the
Passover holiday, he must arrange for
a formal "Mechiras Chometz" or sale of
that chometz to a non-Jew. The
synagogue office has the necessary
document for you to sign and it is
preferable that this be done in person.
(The document has been inserted in
this bulletin.) It is customary for the
Rabbi to act as agent and sell the
chometz for those who so request it.
This applies also to chometz in a
grocery or bakery belonging to a Jew.
Before buying chometz after Pesach
from such a store, one must ascertain if
they conformed with this regulation.
This transaction is a completely
legal one, giving the non-Jew all rights
of ownership over the chometz that
has been sold to him. After the
conclusion of the festival, your agent,
the Rabbi, may repurchase the
chometz sold to the non-Jew.
However, none of this chometz sold to
the non-Jew may be touched until it
has been purchased. It is therefore
necessary that you give the Rabbi your
name and address when appointing
him as your agent and wait until after
dark on the last day of Pesach before
using the chometz.
All such chometz in your possession
should be collected and placed in a
spare room, closet or trunk and locked
away Friday morning March 30, no
later than 10:44 am.
All chometz dishes and utensils
should be thoroughly scoured and
cleansed, then placed in a special
closet or room until after Pesach. (If
the closet or room has no lock, fasten
the door with twine so that no one will
inadvertently enter the area.)
Bedikas Chometz- The final search
for chometz. This occurs 40 minutes
after sunset (8:17 pm) in the evening,
Thursday night, March 29th; the
procedure is as follows:
A) It is customary to have small
pieces of bread placed on napkins (so
no crumbs will be lost) at the windows,
on the dressers, etc., in the various
rooms to be searched. These are
gathered together during the Bedika
(search).
B) The head of the family says the
Brocha of "Al Biyur Chometz."
C) He then proceeds from room to
room, searches for chometz by the
light of a single-wick candle and
gathers the crumbs in a receptacle for
burning the following morning.
D) He goes on to inspect closets,
cupboards, pockets of clothes, etc. By
no means does the mere gathering of
the previously prepared crumbs
constitute the Bedika. The Bedika calls
for a comprehensive search of any
spot where a bit of chometz may have
fallen.
E) The "Kol Chamira" is then recited
in a language one understands. This
renounces ownership of any chometz
that was not found during the Bedika.
F) The chometz found during the
Bedika, including the gathered crumbs
and the chometz left for eating on the
morning of Friday, March 30th should
be put away so as to prevent the
spreading of any portion there of
whatsoever.
Latest Chometz Meal- Closing time
for eating chometz on Friday, March
30th is approximately 10:44 am after
which we refrain from partaking of
chometz until Pesach is over. During
the remainder of the day of Erev Yom
Tov, it is permissible to eat fruits,
vegetables, meat or fish, but no bread
or matzo.
Taanis B'Chorim- The first-born sons
of the Israelites were spared when the
first-born of the Egyptians were smitten
in the tenth plague brought upon
Egypt. In commemoration of this and
as a reminder of their own
responsibilities and privileges, all Jewish
males who are first-born in their families
fast on Erev Pesach. This year the fast
is on Friday morning.
If, however, one attends a "Seudas
Mitzvah" (a feast that is part of the
performance of a religious duty), one
is not required to fast. It is customary in
synagogues that a "Siyum" or
conclusion of Talmudic tractate,
follows the morning service on this day.
This is an occasion of rejoicing and is
followed by a feast. Attend the
synagogue for services and Siyum on
Friday, March 30th following 6:45 A.M.
services.
PREPARATION FOR THE SEDER
1) All preparations for the Seder
should be done during the day of Erev
Pesach (Friday). These preparations
include:
a) roasting the Z'roah (shankbone)
b) roasting the egg
c) grating the maror (bitter herbs)
or soaking the romaine lettuce (to
remove worms) if it is to be used as
maror
d) mixing the charoses (apples,
Congregation Beth Sholom, Rochester, New York 4 |
nuts, cinnamon and wine)
e) mixing the salt water
2) One should not eat too much
during the day so that the matzo at
the Seder can be eaten with a hearty
appetite.
3) Children should sleep during the
day so that they will stay awake and
enjoy and learn from the entire Seder.
Selected Laws of the Seder
1) One should begin the Seder
immediately upon arrival at home
after evening services (but not before
8:17 pm) on Friday and Saturday
nights.
2) The obligation of reading and
discussing the Haggada, drinking the
four cups of wine and eating matzo
and maror are equally incumbent on
women as they are on men. They also
recline to the left when performing all
the aforementioned laws, except
eating the maror which we all do
upright.
3) The cup used for the “arba
Koses”(four cups of wine)must contain
at least 3.3 fluid ounces and one
should drink that amount each time.
Grape juice may be used as the first
cup (which is for Kiddush). In case of
illness, consult the Rabbi.
4) The matzo used at the Seder
should be Shmura(watched from the
time of its cutting).
Contact Rabbi Avi as to where to
purchase it.
During the Seder, matzo is eaten
three times:
at "motzie matzo" - two blessings
are recited "hamotze" and "al
achilas matzo"
at "Koraich" - sandwich of
matzo and bitter herbs
at "Afikomen" - eaten at the
end of the meal
A "Kazayis" should be eaten each
time (which is approximately 6" by 4" or
close to half a square matzo).
5) For maror (eaten twice at "maror"
and "Koraich") use 1.1 fluid ounces of
grated puree or enough leaves to
cover 6" by 4".
6) The Afikomen should be eaten
before 1:11 A.M., the midpoint of the
night.
Counting the Omer
Beginning the second night of
Pesach, we count the omer for 50
nights until Shavuos. If one forgot to
count at night, he may count during
the day without a blessing and resume
counting with a blessing at night. If he
forgot an entire day, he may not
count with the blessing any more.
The Sefirah or Omer period has
been traditionally a bad time for Jews.
The Crusades in the middle ages and
of course, the Holocaust in our own
time, are remembered. For 33 days
we remember those who gave their
lives so that our people could live on.
Exceptions to these days of mourning
are:
1) Pesach, 2) Shabbos, 3) Israel
Independence Day ( 4 Iyar – April
19th.) 4) Three days before Shavuos, 5)
Rosh Chodesh, 6) Lag B'Omer (33rd
day of Omer when the students of
Rabbi Akiva stopped dying) May 3rd.
Haircuts are not taken during this
period and no musical or happy
entertainment is enjoyed.
Dishes and Utensils-Since we
are not permitted to have any
trace of leaven in our food during
Pesach, special attention is given
to dishes and utensils. It is, of
course, best to use dishes and
utensils set aside specifically for
Pesach. However, under certain
conditions, some of the utensils
used throughout the year may be
"kashered" or prepared in a special
manner for Pesach use.
The laws of kashering are many
and varied. If you have any uten-
sils that you wish to kasher, consult
the Rabbi. The date and time of
the synagogue sponsored kasher-
ing is Wednesday evening, March
28th from 8:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Oven/Stove- Every exposed
part of the oven and stove which
may have been reached by food
during the year must be thorough-
ly cleansed and scraped. The ov-
en may then be kashered by set-
ting it at "broil" for forty minutes. By
placing the range grates in the
oven during that period of time,
they also become kashered. If
one has a self-cleaning oven, the
self-cleaning cycle will clean and
kasher the oven simultaneously.
Still, the broiler pan and grill will not

beaters are purchased and set
aside for Pesach use, mixers are
permitted for Pesach only if they
have been professionally cleaned,
because the splattering of dough
mixture can enter the beater
head. All major appliance com-
panies will provide this cleaning
service. Of course, it may be easi-
er and inexpensive enough to
have a separate unit for Pesach.
Blender/Food Processor-The
problem mentioned above does
not apply to blenders or food pro-
cessors as long as totally new re-
ceptacles in which food is placed
is used for Pesach. This is because
the motor of these appliances is
on the bottom and therefore does
not present the same problem as
a mixer.
Urn- For hot water. Although it is
only used for water, it should not
be used on Pesach unless it has
been kashered.
Glass Vessels- Glassware not
ordinarily used for hot foods can
be made fit for Pesach by soaking
them in cold water for three days,
changing the water every 24
hours. This does not apply to whis-
key glasses or Pyrex ware. In prac-
tical terms, it greatly simplifies mat-
ters to have special Pesach drink-
be usable unless they are heated
to a glow by a blowtorch.
If you do not intend to use the
oven or the year-round grates, this
process is unnecessary. However,
crumbs and the like should be re-
moved before Pesach.
Electric Range- One needs only
to turn the burners on the high set-
ting for a few minutes in order to
kasher them since they come to a
glow. The knobs with which the
gas or electricity is turned on
should be cleaned. No other pro-
cess is necessary to kasher the
knobs. During Pesach, special
metal sheets or asbestos are
placed over the top of the range
to prevent contact of any part of
the stove with Pesach utensils.
Microwave Oven- If the oven is
used during the year, it should not
be used on Pesach unless the tem-
perature inside the oven walls and
ceiling is always less than 120F. The
floor of the oven must be changed
by putting in a new piece of glass
or styrofoam, and the oven must
be thoroughly cleaned. It is rec-
ommended that the oven remain
unused for a 24 hour period prior to
use for Pesach. A cup of water
should be boiled until a thick
steam fills the oven. If the temper-
ature of the walls and ceiling
sometimes reaches more than
120F, which means that the aver-
age person could not hold their
hand on the ceiling or walls for at
least 15 seconds without having to
remove it, then such an oven can-
not be kashered for Pesach.
Refrigerator and/or Freezer-
These may be used for Pesach if
they are thoroughly washed and
cleaned for the holiday. It is not
necessary to line the shelves since
hot food (120F and over) is not usu-
ally put into a refrigerator or freez-
er. Lining the shelves with paper or
aluminum foil may also impair the
ability of the appliance to keep
the food cold and is therefore not
recommended.
Mixer-Even if new bowls and
ing glasses set aside, just as we set
aside the other Pesach dishes.
Analgesics- The following may
be used without special certifica-
tion: Anacin, Ascriptin, Bayer Aspi-
rin ("Genuine"), Bufferin, Empirin
Aspirin, Empirin with Codeine, Ex-
cedrin, St. Joseph Adult Aspirin, St.
Joseph Adult Aspirin-Free Tablets,

served with separate dishes and
utensils.
Baby Fruits & Vegetables-
Permissible for Pesach use. Here
too, the vegetables and fruits
should be pure and unmixed with
spices. Of course, the vegetables
should be of the permissible varie-
ties.

bonate.
Candies-Only those candies
which have authoritative rabbinic
Pesach endorsement printed on
the wrapper or container may be
used.

Coffee & Tea-Only use coffee
that has a reliable Kosher for Pass-
over supervision unless it is listed
as follows : Both Folgers and Tast-
ers Choice instant coffee remain
acceptable even without special
Pesach supervision. For any fur-
ther information please contact
the Rabbi. Instant tea may con-
tain malt or dextrose and requires
a proper certification for Pesach.
Herbal and Celestial Seasons tea
require special Pesach certifica-
tion.
Detergents/Liquids- Those that
are kosher throughout the rest of
the year may be used for Pesach
in unopened packages.
Disposable Products- Plastic
dishes and tablecloths may be
used on Pesach, provided they
were never used with chometz.
Wax paper, aluminum and silver
foil, Saran Wrap, plastic bags,
plastic coated cups, spoons and
styrofoam may be used. Paper
plates may be made with corn-
starch or other starches. Note:
One can determine if starch is
present by adding several drops
of iodine to the plates. A dark
blue-black color is a positive test
for starch.
Dried Fruits & Raisins- Must be
approved for Pesach as they can
be dried in ovens also used for
chometz or sprayed with oils that
are not kosher for Pesach. Note:
Del Monte and Mariani dried fruits
require a special Pesach certifica-
tion. Raisins with (K) are accepta-
ble.
Fresh Fruits & Vegetables- Are
kosher for Pesach with the excep-
tion of legumes, such as peas,
beans, rice, peanuts, corn and
mustard, as they are of the grain
family. Fresh frozen vegetables of
the permissible variety with no ad-
ditives listed and frozen fruits, with-
out syrup and with no additives
listed are kosher for Pesach use.
(Not all frozen vegetables are ac-

brands.) Dole crushed pineapple
or pineapple slices or chunks
(sweetened in its own juice) is ac-
ceptable.

SISTERHOOD NEWS Despite the freezing winter that we've had this year, our Sisterhood activities have continued to be well attended. Thank you, ladies, for coming out and making our monthly Rosh Chodesh and Book Club gath-erings such an inspiration and delight. Our Rosh Chodesh celebrations continue to grow. In January/Shevat we had the pleasure of learning about the importance of Tu B’Shvat from Shira Rand. Thank you so much, Shira, for showing us the corre-lation between our lives, spirituality and trees. The hidden roots nourished by Hashem, will keep us alive during the bare cold winters of our lives and bring us new growth in the spring. In February/Adar, in honor of Queen Esther, the topic was Health and Beauty using essential oils. All the ladies made their own bath salts and shower scrubs as well as body butter. Many thanks to Sho-shana Zechariah for an excellent presentation. To be contacted about future Rosh Chodesh events, call Aliza Gutierrez: 585-957-2755. The Sisterhood Book Club met in February with a lively discussion of the book: A Man Called Ove by Fred-erik Backman. The book club has a solid core group of avid readers which includes a few women from other synagogues. We would love to see more of our new members join us. For dates, location and up-coming book selections, contact Tamar Fix: Mammafix@gmail.com. The Shul Game Night organized by the Sisterhood was a lot of fun. Many thanks to Ann Andersen, Helena Shrier and Marta Bermudez for planning the games and delicious food. The Chesed Committee has been very busy this winter providing meals for Shul members who have been sick and also families that have lost a loved one. Thank you to Debby Kornfeld and Ruth Silver for organ-izing the many volunteers who cook and deliver the meals. Thank you also to all the cooks and driv-ers. We encourage everyone to support this group by participating in the annual Purim Shaloch Manot fundraiser. The Beth Sholom Sisterhood is proud to be one of the sponsoring groups of Jewish Women's Day, orga-nized by the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester. This event will take place Thursday, March 8, 2018 at the JCC. Activities run all day and evening. Please register in advance via the Federation’s website: www.jewishrochester.org. (Some events are free and some have a fee associated with them.) There is something of interest for women of all ages. Our thanks to Kathye Simon and Marjorie Montag for repre-senting us on the planning committee. We hope to see many of you there. Ongoing: 1. Chesed: Contact Debby Kornfeld (gkornfeld@gmail.com or 585-442-4090) or Ruth Silver (ruth.silver4215@gmail or 585-442-5376). 2. Sisterhood Notecards: Purchase lined or blank notecards, 5 for $20. Contact Kathye Simon 585-244-9306 or ksimon@frontiernet.net. 3. Sisterhood Donation Cards: Have Sisterhood Cards sent for you and noted in the monthly Shul Bulletin, $5.50 each. Please send info to Rebecca Solomon at rlsolomon26@aol.com or call 585-350-5497. 4. Kiddush Committee: Celebrate your special occasions at Beth Sholom. Volunteers are always needed to help cook, shop, serve, or offer recipe suggestions. Please contact Anne at Cherney@Frontiernet.net or Madeline at 585-442-9264.
