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,

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

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: [email protected]. 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 ([email protected] 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 [email protected]. 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] or Madeline at 585-442-9264.
