Sadie Cowan to Become a
Bat Mitzvah on April 26
Sadie Cowan, a native of Dalton, Georgia,
will celebrate her bat mitzvah at Beth El and
B’nai Zion. Beth El no longer has a
congregation but it holds beautiful
memories.
B’nai Zion congregation is invited to
“bring back the light to Beth El” by joining Sadie and her family in Dalton
for Friday evening services.
Sadie is the daughter of Julie and Rob Cowan and sister of her
awesome brother, Max Cowan. Her grandparents are Roger and Martha
Locke of Tunnel Hill, Georgia; and Jo Ann Cowan of Miami, Florida and
the late Bernarr Cowan of Miami.
Sadie is currently a seventh grade student at Dalton Middle School. She
is a highest honor roll student in the challenge program. Sadie is a seasoned
equestrian, riding hunter/jumper. She also enjoys playing volleyball and
tennis for Dalton Middle.
As an active Girl Scout, Sadie has earned the rank of Cadette and is
currently working on her Silver Award.
Sadie is a voracious reader, who also enjoys concerts, traveling, going to
movies and is looking forward to her 2nd year at Camp Ramah Darom.
Being an active member of the community, she has been awarded the
Rotary Club Service Above Self Award and Principals Award for her
“Change 4 Haiti Project”. Twice nominated by teachers for Kohl’s Kids Who
Care, Sadie also earned her Girl Scout Bronze Award for her volunteer
Service at the Northwest Georgia Library.
As part of becoming a Bat Mitzvah, Sadie has created an
intergenerational program called “Friendship Friday”. This program matches
middle school students with residents in assisted living facilities. The
“friends” gather on Fridays to play games, read books, bird watch, chat, learn
technology, and more. Part of this project will be collecting and purchasing
supplies. Her hope is that “Friendship Friday” will become a community-
wide program providing an opportunity for middle school age students to
connect with a different generation.
The Cowan family is looking forward to sharing this simcha with family
and friends.

SHABBAT ACROSS
CHATTANOOGA
Join us for different Shabbat
dinner experiences at homes
throughout the community.
Contact Jackie Rosenfeld at
for more informa=on.
Every year even
before Purim
come s , my
thoughts inevit-
ably turn to
Pesach and all
of the prepar-
ations that need
to be done before the Festival of
Freedom. And while I am already well
into my Spring Cleaning, and as a
general rule I do not tend to look so far
into the future, recently I began
pondering the days following Passover
and their connection and connected-
ness.
Let me explain. The last line of
the Haggadah is:
L’shanah ha ba b’yirushalayim—next
year in Jerusalem
As if to say that when we sit down
to celebrate redemption next year may
it be our ultimate redemption
symbolized as Jerusalem as the focal
point of the Messianic Era. This line
points not only towards the 2000 year
old hope, as expressed in the words of
HaTikvah, that one day we will be a
free people in the land of Israel and
Jerusalem, but it also looks at the past
to explain this eternal hope as well as
the present. Jersualem… where would
we be without it? What is it about this
Holy City that as a people we have
yearned for and continued to fight for
it? That our wish for it concludes our
family celebration of the birth of our
people, the New Year in the Torah, and
the pinnacle moment in our peoples’
story?
I will not try to answer this
question here, rather I would like to
turn to the historical realities that
immediately following our weeklong
celebration we commemorate Yom
HaShoah and a week later, Yom
HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzma’ut.
Yom HaShoah itself has a very complex
history as to how it became picked as
the day on which we commemorate the
events of the Holocaust. After all, how
could one date be chosen to remember
all of the atrocities that occurred after a
period of years? The number one
choice of the ghetto fighters and their
allies focused on the Warsaw Ghetto
uprising, but that in itself was
problematic particularly to the
Orthodox community who not only
objected because this conflicts with the
Passover Seders but really wanted to
push the date as far back as possible
from Passover--at the least, into the
next month of Iyar so as not to infringe
on the prohibitions of mourning and
eulogies in the month of Nissan. The
Labor Zionist camp pushed for
Holocaust Commemoration Day to
precede Israel Independence Day,
which occurred on the fifth of Iyar and
thus it was settled that 2 weeks (13
days) from the first seder, we remember
the atrocity and pledge to not let it
happen again.
And that brings me to really the
idea that I have been considering this
year, this season. As we celebrate
Passover this year, again, ending the
seder with a wish for redemption, true
freedom, by saying, “next year in
Jerusalem” are we not to understand
some larger connection between Yom
Ha’atzma’ut and Passover? Three
weeks from the start of the holiday of
freedom and the birth of our nation,
we celebrate Israel’s independence, our
long held dream and the birth of our
nation! My professor in college, Julian
Bond , u s e d t o a lw a y s s a y ,
“Coincidence? I think not!” It just
seems too appropriate and too
coincidental!
Last month I went to Israel on an
Israel Bonds Rabbinic Cabinet
Mission. We met with leaders,
advisors and shakers who are all
working to change the course of Israel’s
history in a positive direction. From
being leaders in water reclamation and
the ingenious process involved, or the
high speed train that will take 28
minutes from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
including a stop at the airport, to social
service projects that provide fresh fruit,
vegetables and other staples to Israel’s
neediest populations, to secular batei
midrash that provide serious Jewish
learning to those who would probably
never step foot in a traditional yeshiva,
or the ample opportunities to meet with
those who concern themselves with
Israel’s future with the government.
Since 1951 Israel Bonds has helped
make Israel today a reality and helped us
in the Diaspora invest in Israel, partner
with Israel, build a home in Israel. Even
at times, our investment winds up
costing the government of Israel, and yet
overall, Gil Cohen, who works for the
Finance Ministry, maintains that price is
well worth it for the State of Israel
knows that those of us living outside of
Israel are securing its future and our
collective freedom, creating a safety net
from afar and binding us all together as
one woven tapestry from the four
corners of the earth.
Chag sameach to you and your
families! May this year bring us that
much closer to true freedom!

Bonds, for your own investment or for

Message from Our Rabbi by Rabbi Susan Tendler
4 BZ Voice April 2014
Message from Our Director of Congregational Learning by Jason Cathcart
Ashrei Society
I remember when I learned the Ashrei as a child. I
was in the 6th grade. Our congregation had just
hired a new rabbi and in order for him to get to
know upcoming B’nai Mitzvah students, he was
teaching Ashrei to my class. We were fascinated by
it’s alphabetic acrostic formula. The rabbi taught
us about the idea from the Talmud (Berachot 4b) that
“Whoever recites T’hillah l’david three times daily is
assured of gaining the world-to-come”. My friends
and I thought that was a cool idea. It gave us a
greater want to learn Ashrei. Our rabbi continued
and taught us about the custom of reading the line
“You open our hand, and satisfy every living being”
while holding your open hand out. To this day, I
continue that custom and think of my rabbi and
teacher of those days in Hebrew School.
On Saturday, April 5 during Shabbat services, we
will have our next induction ceremony for members
of the Ashrei Soceity. We look forward to
welcoming several new members of the club. Each
of the new members had to learn Ashrei using the
provided study materials and lead Ashrei for the
congregation a minimum of three times. I know
you will join us to honor these students on April 5.

6 BZ Voice April 2014
Bear with me as I try
to take you on a very
personal journey. It
has always been
exciting to hear how
different people have
different definitions
of the same words. It
all has to do with personal association
and life experiences. Let me set the stage
for my remarks. When asked where I
grew up I usually answer quickly, “in the
tenements of the Bronx!” Whenever
Nada heard me say that she would try to
correct me and say it was in apartments
in the Bronx. To me there was no
difference but to her the word
“tenement” had a less than positive
connotation. “Spring” is another one of
those words. When someone says,
“Spring has sprung”, it conjures up in
my mind the grass coming up between
the cracks in the sidewalk. I had no
vision of lawns as I was growing up. In
fact I don’t remember lawnmowers. Now
that Spring has sprung I also
immediately think Pesach. What
memories to share!
Pesach was, and is, a very
memorable holiday for me. Every year at
this time my mother would arrange for
the “payntners”, or painters to most
people, to come in and paint our
apartment before Pesach. I remember
the difficulty in getting that task
scheduled as most Jewish households in
my neighborhood had the same objective
in mind. Then there was the change in
pots, pans and dishes. All had to happen
before the first day of Pesach. My mother
had, from my kid memory, 35 sets of
dishes stored in a basement of the
apartment building we lived in at the
time. Many of those dishes were
collected at movie theaters that gave
them as an attendance premium. Our
Pesach dishes came in so many varieties
and yet all seemed to flow together.
When something would break
something different would appear. It
never seemed to upset anybody that
color schemes were irrelevant. Next
would be cleaning out of the chometz
which took some time to accomplish.
Now it was time to go shopping to fill
the Pesach pantry.
Oh the pantry! It was exciting to
see the boxes of matzah, matzah meal
and the various and sundry spices,
canned goods and everything with the
label Kosher for Passover on them. It
was an accepted fact that the bottles of
Pepsi were brand new because Pepsi
scheduled new bottles according to the
Jewish calendar which always coincided
with Pesach. I have no idea if that was
true or not but it made for a good story.
Mr. Lippetz, a customer of my dad’s,
produced Pesach wine in the basement
of his apartment building. My dad
counted on him for at least a few
bottles of his delicious product. But
the most memorable things had to do
with the food preparation. My dad
always had to make the “chrain”,
horseradish to those not familiar with
the mamaloschen. Chrain is one of
those words which conjure up
memories and odors never to be
forgotten. We would all have to leave
the apartment because of the gases
emanating from the horseradish roots
as they were being grated. It caused eyes
to tear and noses to run. The odor
stayed for the first two or three days of
pesach. It is an odor I would never
again encounter after I left home. Then
there was my mother going to Tony’s
fish market to get the freshest fish
possible, including live carp, to make
the BEST gefilte fish ever. Nothing in a
jar was available and even if it was I
believe my mother would have thought
it irreligious to use such a thing. Matzah
latkes, matzah bagels, matzah brei, dried
fruit compote and of course matzah
balls are just a few of my “food”
memories. I could probably list a dozen
other Pesadicah meichalls, delights, that
all come back to life as I relive my
growing up. Our seders were attended
by anyone who happened to be in the
Bronx at the time, family, friends and
new acquaintances, all enthusiastically
welcomed. Why bring this all up?
Memories make the world go around
Message from Our President by Irv Ginsburg
and when they are of happy things all
the better. Pesach is a time to create
happy memories.
If you haven’t made reservations
for the B'nai Zion second seder
consider the memories you will pass
on. As an added inducement we will
be using an exciting new Hagadah.
The purchase of the Hagadah was
made possible as the result of an
anonymous $500 contribution and a
$200 one from John Lewis. We want
to thank both of them in a public way.
It is through the generosity of our
congregation that so many things have
been happening at BZ.
Back to last month. The Purim
party following the reading of the
Megillah was great. The food, drink
and fellowship were the things
memories are made of. Thank you to
Amelia Allen, Marcia Menuskin,
Rabbi Susan Tendler and Jason
Cathcart who made the evening
happen. Todah Rabah!!!!!
Finally I want to wish you all “ A
Zissen Pesach!!!!”. The feeling behind
this greeting gets lost in translation. It
is a wish for a sweet Passover and that
is what I wish for all of you.�

2009, Harold was honored at a
Cherokee Area Council dinner for being
the oldest living Eagle Scout in this area.
Harold's Eagle project was to
prepare a full multi-course kosher dinner
for his troop. This included purchasing,
preparing and serving the meal to the
troop. Our sincerest apology for this
oversight.�

Selling Hametz for Pesach We are not always able to destroy or rid a house of all Hametz. The rabbis ordained that a symbolic sale is made of all
Hametz to a non-Jew. The Hametz is then “no longer in our possession.” It is customary to make a contribu=on to the
congrega=on for a Passover charity. Rabbi Tendler may be designated as your agent by filling out the authoriza=on forms.
You can cut the form out at the boDom of this page or find the forms at www.bnaizioncongrega=on.com/hametz.
Pesach ends at 8:59 p.m. (Hametz will not be purchased before 9:30 p.m.)

An anonymous gift of many pieces of
kitchen equipment was recently
received in appreciation of Mable
Willingham. The only clues are that
someone was familiar with the kashrut
practices in BZ’s kosher kitchen, and a
handwritten card with the following
message:
Ms. Mable,
Thanks for all you do!
Here is a little something for you.
Thanks,
Anonymous
BZ appreciates you, too, Mable, and
your anonymous friend.
