On February 15th, OZS experienced its first Lunch & Lead Shabbat. Lunch & Lead was conceived by Sheila Jelen as a way to engage more youth and families in Saturday morning services and hence, Sabbath observance. I am sure I speak for everyone who was there, our first event was indeed a success. Like any successful event, it takes a village and I would like to acknowledge those who made this event so meaningful. First, thank you to Ilona for finding a date for this event in an already overflowing Religious School calendar. Thanks to Liza Goldenberg and Amy Faust Mayer for your unwavering support of the event, making time for me in your Sunday classes and encouraging your students to participate. Thanks go to Emilie Tackett and Mark Klar for organizing our youths’ participation in all aspects of the service and to Beth Goldstein and Jon Glixon for the flexibility in welcoming this addition despite our late start. To my partners in crime- Tina Trent and Sheila Jelen, my heartfelt thanks for all of your hard work- there is something very special about working alongside one another in the kitchen that helps us connect and build relationships (and thanks Lisa Satin for helping on Saturday). To all the youth in the congregation who participated enthusiastically, from coming up with the menu, to preparing and serving the food, and of course, participating in the service- THANK YOU! And to all the parents who adjusted their schedules so their children could stay late on Sundays and be here Saturday- THANK YOU. To all the congregates able to join us THANK YOU. And finally, to all the educators of our synagogue who prepare our students to lead THANK YOU. I only have one regret- that we could not take pictures. But for those of us who were there, the sight of so many of our youth surrounding the Bima filled our hearts and eyes and left us with a picture in our minds that we will not forget. For me, my world just got a lot bigger as I made new friends and strengthened old ones. L’dor V’dor- our future is in great hands. Gilson Capilouto In addition to those listed in Gilson’s note, a special THANK YOU to Gilson for all she did to help make this such a BIG success! Ilona Szekely

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

What in us all makes us know right from wrong? I am not just talking breaking (or not) “The Law”. I am talking about how we treat one another as well. Torah tells us to treat others/strangers as WE would wish to be treated. I take this as giving due respect to anyone you meet until a time they prove unworthy (if that should ever happen). I try doing this in my daily life. There must be a Moral/Ethical center in each of us that tells our brain/gut we are doing right or wrong. We should know when something feels right or wrong. I think I do. Unfortunately this is something you would have to ask those around me if it is true. Since I am doing it, and thinking it is right, I could be wrong. Very tough to make these choices without second guessing yourself. One of the times I am glad I had this “sense” was meeting a person in 8th grade. At that time he was a total Red Neck and football player. Loved to fight just to let off steam. I was a young peacenic. One time he called me out of a house and accused me of trying to steal his girl. He had a knife and his friend a crow bar. He was serious. But also wrong. Since I am writing this you realize I was able to talk my out of getting clobbered and ended up hanging out with them the rest of the night. Somehow he and I kept ending up in the same places so we began to talk. Ended up being best of friends and hitch hiking all over the USA together. One other time I remember thinking about these things was being at a Radio Shack, 25 or so years ago, and buying a walkie talkie set (yes as an adult:) I got half way to the exit when I realized I had gotten charged for one walkie talkie and not a set. So I went back and told the clerk and got square with the deal. This was not the first time I had done such a thing but the first I ever thought about it. He told me that loss would have come out of his pay. It was a choice to go back. The deal was done, I had gotten out with a smoking deal and could have continued my life. However, once I noticed the mistake I went back. Why? That Moral/Ethical center infused in us all. This sense should keep us in a place to get along with others and be the nicest us’s we can be! Think about it and Be Nice! Sincerely, Ira Cooper

MONTHLY THOUGHTS FROM THE RELIGIOUS COMMITTEE The Mitzvot of Purim

It’s sometimes hard to remember, but Purim is not just all about hamentaschen, costumes, and groggers! There are four important mitzvot associated with the holiday, and two immediately before. Taanit Esther (The Fast of Esther; Monday, March 9): The Jews fasted the day before Haman’s campaign to kill them was to begin, as they always did before a war (although it takes its name from the fast decreed by Esther and Mordechai on Passover). It is a lenient fast, observed the day before Purim (except, like this year, when Purim begins at the end of Shabbat, when the fast is moved to the previous Thursday), from which pregnant women, nursing mothers, and others in a weakened state are exempt. Machatzit HaShekel: On erev Purim, there is a custom to give three coins to charity, to recall the half-shekel that was donated annually to the Temple treasury in the month of Adar. Each coin should be the denomination of half the standard currency in your country, that is, a half-dollar in the U.S. We give three because the tax is mentioned three times in the Torah. Interestingly, the coins can be recycled throughout the congregation, since they might be hard to find, with each person making the appropriate donation in another form, as well as depositing the coins, which will then be distributed to a worthy cause. This year we will set up a table at our Megillah reading on Monday evening so everyone can perform this mitzvah. Mikra Megillah (The Reading of the Megillah): The central mitzvah of Purim is the reading of the Megillah, the book of Esther. This should be done both at night and again in the day. One can satisfy the mitzvah either by reading it oneself or, and this is preferred, in public. Essential to the mitzvah is that every word should be heard, so readers and congregation should make sure that the sound of the groggers doesn’t cover up anything except Haman’s name. This year, we will read the megillah, jointly with TAI and the Havurah, on Monday evening, March 9 at 7:00 pm (alternating chapters in Hebrew and English), and again Tuesday morning at 7:30 am (all in Hebrew). Seudat Purim (Festive Purim Meal): One should have a festive meal, with wine, on the afternoon of Purim. This is because, as described in the Megillah, it was a day of “feasting and merrymaking,” and also in commemoration of the feast that Esther gave for Achashverosh. It includes wine because the miracles of Purim were facilitated by wine. At OZS this year, we will do our version of this celebration, including the traditional latke-hamentaschen debate, after the megillah reading on Monday evening. There will be a Purim Spiel, a comic play, this year in Motown style, at TAI on Wednesday evening, March 11, with members of both congregations performing. Mishloach Manot (Sending of Gifts): Megillah 9:22 says the Jews made Purim “an occasion for sending gifts to one another.” Since it says “gifts” in the plural, we should include at least two portions of something edible without further preparation (a favorite is 2-3 hamentaschen and 2 clementines). While most mitzvot should be carried out in person, since the Megillah says “sending,” these gifts should preferably be delivered by somebody else, traditionally a child. Matanot l’Evyonim (Gifts to the Poor): Megillah 9:22 also says the Jews sent “presents to the poor.” The mitzvah is to give at least two gifts of any kind to at least two poor people (one to each). Since this should be done in person, it is permissible to put money aside and give it at the next opportunity. Chag Purim Sameach! Jon Glixon

JOIN THE TEN-FOR-TEN CLUB

Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav said: “Nine Tsaddikim (righteous ones) do not make a minyan, but one ordinary person joining them completes the minyan.” I don’t know how many tsadikkim there are here in Lexington, but we have plenty of ordinary folks, and it would be wonderful if a few more of us would come to weekday minyan. To help accomplish this, we have established the Ten-for-Ten Club.

Joining the Ten-for-Ten Club is very simple: all you have to do is commit to attending afternoon minyan ten times in the next year. There are no big prizes (other than spiritual ones), but those who complete this commitment will be recognized for their contributions to the OZS community. To join, or for more information, contact Jon Glixon
