The KCUSY Purim Carnival will be held on Sunday, March 5, from 11:30 am - 2:00 pm. KCUSY is bringing The 50s back, and they’re better than ever! Ladies, put on your poodle skirts and men, grease that hair back be-cause the theme will be “Welcome to the 50s.” This year the carnival will be chaired by Syl-via Shapiro, Social Action/Tikkun Olam Vice President, co-chairs, Sara Saidel and Jacob Bell, as well as all of KCUSY and Kadima. This event will have many fun activities, such as booths, games, food, prizes and the Kadima Raffle.
This carnival is KCUSY’s largest fundraiser. Part of our programming budget is raised at the carnival. Over 100 students and adults will participate in making this carnival happen. The money raised will also be used to help the Inter-national USY Tikun Olam Project and to help others have the amazing experience of going to USY regional events. For more information or to help out at this year’s carnival, please contact Stefanie Williams at [email protected] or 913-647-7292.

Fro m t h e R a bb i ’s S t u d y In case you didn’t al-ready know, St. Valentine’s Day is NOT a Jewish holi-day despite near ubiquitous celebration amongst Jewish American couples.
Valentine’s Day has its roots in the legend of a Christian saint from 3rd Century Rome who performed wed-dings to soldiers forbidden from get-ting married. As a holiday, it becomes known in the time of Chaucer and really began taking off in the 1700’s. Today in America there are upwards of 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards sent if you count the ones by school children. The Valentine’s Day conception of love and the Jewish conception of love have a lot to learn from one another. Valentine’s Day involves showering one’s lover with flowers, chocolates, fancy dinners, and intentionally ro-mantic activities. It is largely a private celebration between the couple. In Judaism on the other hand, love has very little to do with romance per se. Expressions of love are about devo-tion. We are instructed in the Torah to love the stranger, love God, and love our neighbor like ourselves. We under-
Rabbi David M. [email protected]
stand this to mean providing physical sustenance for the stranger, not doing something hateful to our neighbor and showing devotion to God through our living and our resources. The Jewish approach toward love in marriage is about the responsibility that a couple has toward one another. Also, our faith has a religious view that is unembarrassed about physical plea-sure and sexuality within marriage. In the Hebrew Bible we see couples that raise children, “play” with one another, argue with each other, stray from each other and devote themselves to each other. And, though our system of religious divorce is imperfect, it does permit divorce - and has a very realistic understanding that not all relationships last. It is ok to start over and grow with someone new. What we don’t witness in Jewish traditional texts is the modern idea of romance - no moonlit dinners, gestures of gift-giving or spontaneous acts of love that simply tell the spouse that he or she matters to them. In commercials and romance stories we see precious little of the mundane. Except in comedies of error,
What Valentine’s Day can Learn from Judaism – and What Judaism can Learn from Valentine’s Daywe rarely see movies where the roman-tic leads begin needing to worry about child-rearing, work related stress or small family joys. Our children and grandchildren don’t have many venues to learn about healthy romantic relationships. I think that a healthy model is a synthesis of Judaism and Valentine’s Day. In the world of our ancestors, people had very hard lives: they died young, often died in childbirth and many of their waking hours were spent work-ing. They had little time or space for romance. In our world, young couples often become bored or disenchanted because of the disconnect between how our culture portrays romance and real life. As our general culture celebrates Valentine’s day this month - take some time to think about all loving relation-ships in your own lives: the romantic, the familial and the friendship. How are these loving relationships precious? How are they holy? How can they be appreciated and invested in?
Parashat Hashavua
B’neiMitzvahParashat
Yitro
Parashat Hashavua is an ongoing, monthly program taking place every third Shabbat of the month at 9:00 am in the Conference Room. The goal of this program is to engage its participants in a stimulating discussion of the weekly Torah portion in a welcom-ing atmosphere, where the difference of opinions is respected, and questions are
encouraged. The participants enjoy the deep level of discussion and Kabbalistic
insights into the text. The next ses-sion will take place on February 18 when Parashat Yitro will be discussed. Everyone is welcome. For more information, contact
Svetlana Sorkin at 913-393-1715 or [email protected].

Execut i ve l y Speak ingVolunteers are Special
to volunteer. Our congregational execu-tive board needs volunteers. People are needed to both chair and work on congregational committees and events. Volunteers are needed at both PRS and RFECEC. People are needed to vol-unteer for Boy Scout Troop 61, USY, Mens Club and Sisterhood. Both our congregation, and in many areas our auxiliary organizations operate with volunteers. What does being a volunteer do for you? First of all, being a volunteer means performing a mitzvah. There is a sense of satisfaction in helping oth-
ers. Working on a project, chairing a committee or taking an office in one of our auxiliary organizations gives you a feeling of ownership in a part of our congregation. Volunteering is a way to reach out to our community, meet new people and form new friendships. Vol-unteering also sets a positive example for our children, grandchildren and friends. Next time you are contacted to take a volunteer position, think very carefully. Volunteer before being asked when you see a need. Not only are you helping CBS, but also you are growing, learning and making new friends.
Torah Readers Wanted
Norman Kahn is in charge of scheduling Torah readers. Are you able to read Torah and would like to do so, but you haven't let him know of your interest? Would you like your son or daughter to con-tinue to read after their Bar or Bat Mitzvah? Now is a great time to make sure Norm is aware of your willingness to read Torah on a
Shabbat, as he will soon be scheduling for the second quarter of 2017 (April, May, June). He wants to make sure that everyone who wants to read gets to do so. It's a great mitzvah and a very re-warding experience. We are fortunate to have so many Torah readers - we'd like to include you! Let Norm know at [email protected].
CBS Board Nominations
Beth Shalom’s nominating committee will soon meet to select a slate of officers for 2017-2018; eight board members to serve three year terms, 2017-2020, and to fill any board vacancies that may exist. In accordance with the Beth Shalom Bylaws, the Nominat-ing Committee is being chaired by Immediate Past President, Dr. Norman Kahn, Jr. Recommendations for officer and board positions may be sent to him via email at [email protected] or c/o Beth Shalom,14200 Lamar, Overland Park, KS 66223. The deadline for recommendations is February 28. The election will be held at the congregation’s annual meeting and installation.

What is a volunteer? Dictionary.com defines a
volunteer: 1. "a person who voluntarily offers
himself or herself for a service or undertaking” and 2. "a person who performs a service willingly and without
pay”. Why should one volunteer? What does one gain from being a volunteer? Where does one go to volunteer? CBS has numerous opportunities

Berenice Haberman, President | [email protected] |S i s t e r h o o dTorah Fund Campaign
The annual Torah Fund Campaign is an integral part of Beth Shalom Sisterhood. We help Women’s League for Conservative Juda-ism support The Jewish Theological Seminary

schools come the Rabbis, Cantors and Jewish Educators that are the current and future leaders of Conservative Judaism. Torah Fund strengthens Jew-ish education by supporting schol-arships and programming at these Conservative/Masorti institutes of higher Jewish learning. Our current special project, “She Plants a Seed for the Future,” 2015-2017, is a two-year targeted campaign to support the refurbishment of the Women’s League Seminary Synagogue at JTS, and the Year in Israel Program at The Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies.

Reading Suggestions from Miss Judy
A Special Tribute to a Special Lady
There are many ways to honor the memory of our loved ones who have passed away or to honor a special person on a special day. One of those ways is to place a lasting tribute on our Rose Family Early Childhood Education Center Building Blocks of Learning Wall. The memory of Judy Weinberg, who was for a number of years a part of our Early Childhood staff, will live forever on this Wall.
When winter weather is so cold, it is time to snuggle up with your children and enjoy good books and great games. Following is a list of favorite books of our students at the RFECEC. In the 3 ½-4 year old class: Pete the Cat and all books by Eric Carle, Frank Asch and the Llama, Llama Stories. In the 3-3 ½ year old class: A Fish Out of Water by Helen Palmer, Ten Apples Up on Top, The Best Nest, Robert the Rose Horse and Go Away Big Green Monster. In the Pre K Class: Hop on Pop, Cat in the Hat, Pinkalicious, Little Mermaid, Shimmer and Shine, What Do You Do With a Problem, My Brother Charlie and ONE (this book is fabulous to use to talk to your kids about bullies).
Miss Judy’s favorites include: What Makes A Baby (My favorite book when little kids ask where babies come from). This book is wonderful to use to explain where babies come from without getting into the
sexuality piece that kids are not developmentally ready to hear or comprehend. It is also a fabulous book for babies who do not come from the “traditional mother father path”. This book is great for same sex parents, surrogate pregnancies, and adoption.
Lifetimes, The Beautiful Way to Explain Death to Children, Where Do People Go When They Die and The Goodbye Book are great books for preschool to first grade kids about death and dying.
Playing games is a great activity for kids. They have your undivided attention, learn great skills, learn how to wait their turn, negotiate rules and not always win. Many games also reinforce cognitive skills and help children learn how to strategize and problem solve. Enjoy February with your kids and grandchildren!
Shown at the dedication of her plaque are her children: Mark Weinberg, Matt Weinberg, Lauren Weinberg and Shana Enns, Christine Lamas Weinberg and husband Steve Weinberg; grand-children are Aviva, Henry, Milo and Noah. If you would like to honor or memorialize a special person on the RFECEC Building Blocks of Learning Wall or any other area of CBS, please contact Bernie Fried at 913-647-7293 or [email protected].
