RABBI WHITMAN’S MESSAGE Abe Mezrich is a dear friend of mine, and a great writer. This poetic Dvar Torah captures the essence of Passover. Marci and I wish you and your family all the blessings of closeness that freedom can bring. Rabbi Michael Whitman What freedom is i Joseph's brothers cast Joseph into the pit. Travelling merchants pick him up and bring him down to Egypt and sell him into slavery there. That is the story of how Joseph becomes Egypt's first Israelite slave. Falling into the pit is the last Joseph sees of his brothers, of his father’s house, for twenty years. Then twenty years go by and Israel follows Joseph into Egypt and settles in Egypt and later becomes a slave-people there. When God frees the people from Egypt, God says: On the night that freedom comes, eat Passover meals household by household. ii Family is the interwovenness of people but Joseph enters slavery all alone, a lone item to be sold or owned. Perhaps to say: Family is the interwovenness of people but slaves are lone commodities. So slavery and family are opposites. Thus a break in a family brings slavery and when slavery ends, families eat together: family comes back. iii What follows from all this is the answer to the question “What is freedom?” Not the power to do what you like but the closeness of many people, bound together. www.TorahParsha.com

       

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friends, Since becoming President 18 months ago, I have been privileged to be part of a transformational time in the ADATH’s history. Over the winter months, we continued our strategy to challenge everything – from our People, our Processes, and our Programs. We have done this not because it was easy, but because it was instrumental to the future vibrancy of our Shul. And I have seen first hand, the unwavering dedication of our Clergy, Officers, Office Staff, Executive/Board, Team Sisterhood, and all the countless volunteers. Thanks to them, and your support – the ADATH is strong, and continues to be a beacon of Modern Orthodoxy within the Community. We hope you agree that the ADATH has delivered on it’s goals to you - The Fall 2015 High Holidays were inspirational and meaningful. The “One Shabbat” program brought together hundreds from across the Community for Friday night dinner and Shabbat Services. Our Annual Raffle & Gala was amazing. Our annual Super Bowl & Community Purim parties were our best attended. We hosted special events including a Tu b’Shvat Seder, and an Art Vernissage. Rabbi Whitman has many regular weekly lectures – both at the ADATH and across the Community. Rabbi Alex’s Shabbat Youth Group has grown in popularity, and we have hosted wonderful ‘Welcoming Shabbats’. Team Sisterhood continues to be an instrumental part of the ADATH – from taking responsibility for large events like our Raffle & Gala … to the many ongoing exciting programs offered by the ‘Team’, we are truly grateful for all that they do. As you read this newsletter, many of you have been touched by the ADATH in some way over the past year – through Simcha or hardship. Our Rabbis work tirelessly to provide support and guidance, and we are grateful to them. On behalf of the Executive and Board, we thank all those who support our Shul and our programs. Through your ongoing financial commitment to support the shul, you are ensuring that our work in the Community can

continue. And if there’s something we can do better or differently, I hope you’ll let me know. On behalf of my wife Carole, our children Max, Riva and Jake, we wish you and your family a Chag Pessach Sameach. Bernie Malinoff bernie@adath.ca

       

ASSISTANT RABBI ALEX’S MESSAGE Firstly, I would like to thank all those who have helped out during the recent winter months with our morning services, as well as our Minchah and Maariv services, over the past 10 winters. I must say, I don't remember our minyans going as smoothly as this past winter! Some of these special people include: Jack Garfinkle, Alan Goldstein, Michael Goldstein, Leon Grinberg, Rabbi Zushe Halperin, Allen Kahan, Aubey Laufer, Morton Pearl, Steven Schneidman, Saul Skolnick, David Rothstein, Isadore Rubinfeld, Benny Tripp, Fred Wenger, André Zoldan, and Tzviki Zwiebel. A reminder to anyone who would like to review their Bar Mitzvah Parshah, or their Haftorah, or would like to learn a Haftorah on the occasion of a Yartzeit, it would be my honour to study with you and to prepare you. Also, if anyone would like to study, one-on-one, on any topic, I am available. And finally, if anyone would like a hospital visit, or home visit, please be in touch with me. In addition, if anyone would like to hear my children sing for them, it again would be my honour (and theirs). You can be in touch with me, at your convenience, by email alex@adath.ca, or by phone 514-212-5157. My wife Esty, and I, and our family, wish everyone a happy, healthy and kosher Pesach. Chag Someach. Assistant Rabbi Alex Zwiebel Check our schedule in the coming months for exciting new children’s programs with Rabbi Alex. If you have any suggestions and ideas, please speak with Rabbi Alex.

       

ANDRE ZOLDAN’S MESSAGE

As we see from the cartoon, life is not always what we think it is. We never know where life will take us. We never know what will happen next. But, we should always plan, which includes having a conversation with myself. Live Long and Prosper - Happy Passover, Andre Zoldan Cemetery Committee Chairman

       

TEAM SISTERHOOD MESSAGE I am so pleased to present the new look for TEAM Sisterhood at the ADATH. This age of media has introduced us to a whole new vocabulary. Our world is shaped by visual aids, instant recognition, marketing tactics, branding, promotion, push tactics, pop-ups, logos, lingo, tweets, pokes and posts!

This new TEAM Sisterhood at the ADATH logo is more than just a new logo. It represents so much about TEAM Sisterhood in general. This started out as just an idea, but like most things at TEAM Sisterhood, the idea took flight. Our own Batia Ora set to work to design and develop a look and a message that would say it all. And this is exactly what TEAM Sisterhood is. Through all of our programs and projects, activities and events, TEAM Sisterhood has come to exhibit all the essential qualities of a successful TEAM. We work together, we learn, we play, we participate, all together. TEAM Sisterhood is built on participation and cooperation. Be it to set up our social hall to receive 350 Gala guests or to help prepare a Shabbat to Share for 250, we make lists, we divide the work and we set out to make the ADATH events successful and memorable. TEAM Sisterhood is a group of energetic, motivated and dedicated women, from our much respected and experienced members who have been part of the sisterhood at the ADATH for many years, to the new faces who continually sign up for new and exciting programs and activities, to our very youngest members who you will often see joining the ladies for a hand or two of Mah Jongg on a Shabbat afternoon! TEAM Sisterhood at the ADATH. Friends across generations, cooking, baking, playing Mah Jongg, practicing Yoga, playing Bridge, sharing books and recipes, fundraising, making centre pieces, selling holiday

chocolate, setting tables, doing Boot Camp, selling tickets, collecting raffle prizes, knitting for giving, holding yard sales, planning events and supporting our ADATH. Join the TEAM and share in the friendship. On behalf of TEAM Sisterhood at the ADATH, I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, healthy and kosher Passover holiday! Andrea Elbaz, for the TEAM

PROGRAMS, CLASSES, AND EVENTS Morning & Evening Daf Yomi Daf Yomi (Page a Day Talmud Study) is the schedule of studying a page of Talmud a day. All over the world, thousands of Jews each day study the same page of Talmud, thus connecting them in their pursuit of Torah knowledge. The Talmud is the main repository of Jewish learning and, using the Daf Yomi cycle, can be completed in about seven and a half years. This is a great opportunity to delve into the heart of Jewish learning, and get your day started with intellectual and spiritual vigor. No previous knowledge is necessary and you can attend every day or once in a while. We offer Daf Yomi every morning and evening. Please see our weekly newsletter for exact times. Shabbat Youth Groups Our Shabbat youth groups meet every Shabbat morning starting at 10 a.m. This is one of the most popular and successful programs at the ADATH. We encourage all children to participate. Expanded Shabbat Youth Groups In addition to our ongoing Shabbat youth groups, we now have a popular, creative, and exciting program led by Rabbi Alex, every Shabbat morning starting at about 10:30 a.m. Each week we choose a theme and feature related stories, games, and healthy refreshments. Everyone is welcome! Weekly Talmud Class The Talmud is the main repository of classical Jewish learning. Each week, we may touch on issues of history, philosophy, law, rituals, ethics, spirituality, and much more. Join us each Shabbat afternoon 45 minutes before Minchah. Taught by Rabbi Alex Zwiebel. Please see our weekly newsletter for exact times. All men and women are invited. Team Sisterhood Yoga Yoga for women at the ADATH continues every Monday, at 7:00 p.m. SHARP!

YOUR BAT MITZVAH AT THE ADATH If you have not yet had a Bat Mitzvah celebration, you are invited to join a remarkable group of women, of all ages and backgrounds, to celebrate your Bat Mitzvah at the ADATH on Shabbat, June 11, 2016. In preparation for this milestone, we will study together the Book of Ruth, in depth, uncovering lessons for today about commitment to Torah and Israel, and celebrating women’s leadership in our community. We will provide guided study with questions and discussions through email and Facebook, so you can participate wherever you are and whenever you are able. After Passover, we will begin meeting regularly to more deeply understand the responsibilities and opportunities of Bat Mitzvah, and to prepare for your special day. Each woman will also work on a unique project (such as a Dvar Torah, a work of art, or other project to be discussed) that she will present. And on Shabbat morning, June 11, you and your accomplishments will be celebrated by our entire community. This opportunity is open to all women. There is no cost to join other than a commitment to participate to the best of your ability, and a willingness to grow as a Jewish woman. Please tell Rabbi Whitman (rabbi@adath.ca) of your interest and you will be invited to the next event.

HALACHIC PRENUP FOR CANADA For many years I have had the heavy privilege to work on behalf of Agunot - Jewish women (and a few men) in failed marriages unable to achieve a Get (Jewish bill of divorce) because their spouse refuses to cooperate. I see, firsthand, the nightmare of pain, anxiety, and loss of control they experience at the hands of their abusive spouse. I am haunted that after 120 years in this world, I (and every other rabbi) will be called to account for not doing enough to prevent and relieve this pain. Here is my most important contribution to this effort. It is now widely accepted that the most practical and helpful method to prevent this is for every couple, before they are married, to sign a Halachic prenup agreement, where the couple pledges that if their marriage does fail, God forbid, they will cooperate with a Get, and not refuse for any reason. Experts have written that such an agreement, correctly used, can prevent virtually all cases of Agunah. I am proud to announce I have written a new Halachic Prenup for Canada that is now ready for use. You can find the document with its explanation and instructions on our website, www.adath.ca. This document is the result of a years-long consultation with a wide group of renowned rabbis and legal experts including law professors, retired judges, and lawyers in both Montreal and Toronto. The result is a document based on the writing of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, the greatest Halachic authority of our time. It represents our best judgement of the strongest Halachic prenup possible in Canada that meets the highest standards of Canadian and Jewish law. I urge every Jewish couple getting married in Canada to sign this agreement. And I urge every Rabbi in Canada to insist on this as I and many other revered Rabbis already do, because I am convinced this is the best way to prevent the nightmare of Agunah. If you or someone you know is getting married, please tell them about this and urge them to do it. Please contact me for more information, or questions about any aspect of this. I am also willing to facilitate the signing of this agreement for any Jewish couple at no charge. Rabbi Michael Whitman

UPCOMING BNEI MITZVAH Michael Birnbaum - Shabbat, August 20, 2016

Michael graduated from Solomon Schechter Academy in June 2015. In grade 6 Michael and his team won 1st prize in the annual Quebec math teacher association competition. He had a perfect score on his exam and we are very proud of his accomplishments. He currently attends Herzliah High School where is very well appreciated by the staff and student body. Michael is the oldest of three siblings and is a responsible and caring older brother. He excels academically but manages to have a balanced life. In his spare time he enjoys reading and spending time with his friends and family. He enjoys many sports, like basketball, skating, swimming and tennis, but his favorite sport has been karate since the age of 6. Michael has a strong sense of Jewish identity for which we are grateful and he always encourages us to donate to the many school fund raising

activities. Michael's parents, his entire family and friends are looking forward to sharing his Simcha on August 20, 2016. His adoring grandfather Armand Gabay, Z'L, will be missed very much. Jonathan Jagermann – Shabbat, September 24, 2016

A competitive tennis player and an avid skier, snowboarder and wakeboarder, Jonathan loves keeping busy through friends and family. He excels in math and science at Bialik High School while enjoying a special connection to his summers at Camp Kinneret. Jonathan, your dedication to excellence in sports and school combined with your overall joyful and positive personality make you a great brother to Josh and Sean and a wonderful member of the Jagermann/Eichenbaum families.

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE March, 2016 Dear Member, One of the most enduring traditions of Judaism is honouring our families. The Torah calls us to honour our families during their lives and to remember them when they are no longer with us. Our Sisterhood is once again planning to publish a “Book of Remembrance 5777” to be used for Yizkor Services during Yom Kippur, as well as during all other Yizkor Services throughout the year. Recalling the memories of our loved ones is both an act of solemn piety and an expression of profound respect. In this memorial publication, you will have the opportunity of honouring the memories of your loved ones. Please enter the names(s) of those you wish to be in our “Book of Remembrance” below and return to the synagogue, along with your donation. Sincerely, TEAM SISTERHOOD “Book of Remembrance” Deadline for submission: June 30th Donor Name(s): _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In memory of: English name Hebrew name

SALE OF CHOMETZ - 5776 Adath Israel Poale Zedek Anshei Ozeroff Not only may we not eat Chometz on Pesach, it may not even be in our possession during the Holiday. The most simple solution is to eat or give away any Chometz you may have as Pesach approaches. I will be happy to take any food you have and give it to the non-Jewish needy. That which we find during the ‘Bedikas Chometz’ (Search for Chometz), we burn before Pesach. If you wish to keep certain Chometz items for after Pesach, it is possible to do so by selling them to a non-Jew for the week of Pesach. You may contact Assistant Rabbi Alex Zwiebel to act as your agent to arrange this sale for you. When you do so, it is important to remember that you are selling your Chometz for that week - it does not belong to you and the non-Jew to whom it is sold has the right to come and take it (and pay you for it). All sold items should be put in an area that can be closed off, taped shut, and clearly labeled ‘sold.’ With the sale of the Chometz, you are also leasing to the non-Jew the property on which the Chometz sits. Therefore, you have to tell Rabbi Alex where the Chometz is located. You must arrange for the sale of your Chometz no later than 6:00 PM, Thursday, April 21, 2016. Preferably, you should contact Rabbi Alex in person with the form below filled out. However, if you are unable to do so, you may fill out the form below and send it to the ADATH office (but confirm we have received it by Thursday, April 21, 2016) by mail (223 Harrow Cr. Hampstead, QC H3X 3X7), fax (514-482-6216), or email (rabbi@adath.ca). Rabbi Michael Whitman Date: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Name(s) and Telephone Number(s): __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Email: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Address(es): ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Main Location(s) of Chometz:_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Chometz in other locations is also sold.) Where do you plan to be during Passover? __________________________________________________________________________________________ I give full power to Assistant Rabbi Alex Zwiebel to sell and transfer all legal title of all items owned by me (excluding that which I will use or burn before Pesach) - knowingly or unknowingly - which are, or may contain Chometz according to Jewish law and/or Tradition, and which the Mishnah Brurah, compiled by the Chofetz Chaim, describes as items which a Jew may not own during Pesach*, to anyone of his choice and in any manner which he deems necessary. I also authorize Rabbi Alex to lease any property where this Chometz is located. I also authorize Rabbi Alex to receive the buyer’s deposit and to appoint a substitute in his stead if he wishes, with full power to sell and lease as described above. This sale is valid according to Jewish and secular law. The present document has been written in the English language at the express request of the parties. Le present document a ete redige en langue anglaise a la demande expresse des parties. Signature (include signatures of spouse and adult children if applicable): _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Including but not limited to: all products made of barley, oats, wheat, rye, or spelt, and all products containing any mixture or derivative of these grains; all items prepared together with those mentioned above; all particles of the above that may adhere to the surfaces of utensils; and all items concerning which there exists an unresolvable doubt about whether they fall into the above categories.

OUTREACH TO SENIORS Rabbi Whitman and Rabbi Alex and his kids visit seniors regularly at their homes and residences.  We have now initiated a new programme of outreach where the Rabbis and the kids of the ADATH who wish to join them go to senior residences to visit our elders before the holidays and bring them good cheer.  This was done with greet success at the VISTA Residence this past Chanukah!    Accompanied by an accomplished 90 year old pianist, the Rabbis and a whole gang of ADATH kids led a packed audience of seniors in a freilich sing‐a‐long of Chanukah songs.   The evening was absolutely delightful and everyone left raving about the ADATH, its Rabbis and adorable kids. This is a wonderful form of outreach by the ADATH, our members and particularly our children who are taught the powerful mitzvah of honouring and respecting our elders.  If anyone (kid or big kid!) is interested in joining us, please contact Rabbi Alex.
