The great Hassidic Rabbi, Naftali Tzvi Horwitz (d. 1817) introduced a wonderful and meaningful custom to his Passover Seder. Rabbi Horwitz used to invite all the participants in the Seder to fill Elijah’s Cup by pouring wine from their personal cups into the Cup of Elijah. Rabbi Horwitz explained that this act symbolized every individual’s responsibility to invest in the redemption of our world. The symbol of Elijah’s Cup focuses our thoughts on better times, on Messianic times. We pause after sharing a festive meal with our family and friends, after spending time reflecting over our past, both personally and communally, to express hope for the future. We talk about Egyptian slavery, we talk about the value of freedom, we joyfully celebrate the blessings of our life in the present and then, realizing that the world is imperfect, express hope for a brighter future. The ceremony surrounding Elijah’s Cup helps us transcend the present and focus on our future vision. An open door is a sign of looking forward, a sign of unrealized potential; a future filled with hope. How do we invest in our future and in the betterment of our world? Some people hope, some people pray. Life experience teaches us that, at times, hope alone is not sufficient. Hope needs to be combined with action and accepting part of the responsibility to foster change. This is why I find great meaning in Rabbi Horwitz’s custom. By filling Elijah’s Cup with wine from our personal cups, we use action to demonstrate our belief in redemption. Redemption, improving our world, cannot happen without our effort and investment. As you might imagine, this message recurs in Judaism. Before we celebrate Passover we celebrate Purim. One of the Mitzvot of Purim is Matanot L’evyonim, giving gifts (traditionally either money or items of direct benefit) to the poor. On Purim, we are commanded to make a difference in the life of someone in need. (Consider donating $1 to the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank as a way of fulfilling this Mitzvah.) We, as members of the community need to act, not just hope and pray. This is the way we help bring redemption into our world. Redemption is a process. It requires our investment drip by drip, step by step from one soul to another. May we all feel invested in the process of redeeming our world and adding depth to the meaning of both Purim and Passover.

This issue of the Messenger will carry us from March into April, as we move from winter (or El Paso’s version of it) into spring. The secular calendar gives many people a spring break during this time; a time often used to travel to warmer climates and relax after the cold and busy weeks of the beginning of the year. On the Jewish calendar we will be celebrating Purim and Passover, two holidays that year after year have us recount both the persecution that Jews have faced and surmounted, and the joy that came from this triumph. In January, our community was visited by Doron Horowitz, National Security Advisor from the Secure Community Network, who stood in our social hall and spoke to us of the tragedy at the Tree of Life Synagogue and what we can do here at B’nai Zion and all our public meeting spaces to prepare and protect ourselves from those intent on doing harm. Purim and Passover teach us the same lesson, just in different methods and a timeless way. Both holidays bring us together – Purim in a public setting and Passover for most people in our homes – to have us remember times when our community withstood oppression together. It is important to us as Jews and as members of B’nai Zion to honor this and ensure that Jewish life survives today by participating in the wonderful rituals of these holidays. For Purim, join us in Synagogue to hear the reading of the Megillah and see our children parade in costumes, proud to be Jews and happily celebrating a unique opportunity for raucous fun in the Sanctuary. Support the Sisterhood, do a mitzvah and bring joy to your friends and family by purchasing Misloach Manoat. Or bake hamantachsen in your own home just because they are delicious and a good excuse to eat a treat. For Passover, I hope that we all have the opportunity to participate in a Seder, whether at a home or at B’nai Zion. We read the Haggadah every year to fulfill the Commandment to recount the events of the Exodus from Egypt, so that the story will be passed on from generation to generation. While Passover is primarily thought of as a holiday celebrated in the home, Synagogue services are important too, and should not be forgotten amidst the Seder and home preparations. However it is that you celebrate Purim and Passover and spend your upcoming weeks, I hope you will take some time to join us at B’nai Zion and celebrate the triumph of the Jewish people over adversity with us.

Last issue, I announced our new Talmud Torah curriculum. As a parent of two students, I’m happy to follow up that it is working very well. I also took the opportunity to thank many of those involved in putting it in place. I would like to add a special recognition for Mike Batkin. His generosity in sponsoring the new curriculum is making a difference for the next generation.

Sincerely yours,

-Shane Lipson

Many thanks and congratulations to our Casino Night Team. Leslie Beckoff, Robert Beckoff, Robin Kobren, Barry Kobren, Patty Hutman, Kristin Kimmelman and David Sabal, who, along with staff members Denise Tolentino, Irene Castillo, Arturo Guzman, Lupe Arras and Viri Arras demonstrated how fabulous an event can be when a team, even a small team, comes together with a common goal. Attended by members of both the Jewish community and the general community, our guests had fun playing cards, roulette and craps. They danced to the music of a live band, the Villa Band, and enjoyed a delicious food and beverage spread. Rabbi Rosenberg really spiced things up when he commandeered a card table and, miraculously dealt an 18 to every black jack player at his table. He certainly knows how to have a chai time playing cards! The silent auction was a huge success this year, too, thanks to our Board of Directors who each donated a wonderful array of items and our Casino Night Team who canvassed the city for auction item donations. With their combined effort, we were able to present a silent auction table that spanned the length of the Casino (Social Hall) with items attractive to a variety of personal tastes and interests. Silent auction sales represented a significant portion of our fundraising success. Our appreciation is extended to all of the event sponsors without whom Casino Night would not venture close to being a fundraising success. Through their generosity, these supporters made clear their commitment to B’nai Zion and to its continued success. And, of course, we are most appreciative of everyone who bought tickets and attended Casino Night. Without guests, there wouldn’t even be a Casino Night and none of us would have the grand time we had. I urge each of you, especially those who missed out this year, to plan on attending next February. No matter how you do at the tables and the silent auction, you’ll leave knowing you’re a winner.

On Another Note…

We congratulate Irene Castillo, our Administrative Assistant, on her new job. Irene’s last day at CBZ was February 21. Until we hire a new Administrative Assistant, the synagogue business office will be closed Fridays and Sundays. Regular hours, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, will be maintained Monday – Thursday. Please bear with us as we work through this transition phase. For emergencies when the office is closed, contact our President, Shane Lipson, at 915-599-2904 (this is a voice number only). Irene’s departure from the shul is bittersweet for us. We will miss her, but we send her off with a warm “todah rabah” and our sincere wishes for success in this and all her future endeavors.

Wishing you a Happy Purim and Happy Passover,

-Debra PazosExecutive Director

BZUSY at IC-Orlando

In December I had the unique opportunity of going to International Convention in Orlando, and it was a life-changing experience. At the convention, we did service projects such as donating snacks to a local police station on Christmas and making dog toys for the local animal rescue center. Of course, we had our fair share of fun, including going to Universal, Disneyworld, Disney Park, and ICON. At the convention, we got the opportunity to learn more about Judaism and discussed problems affecting the Jewish people, such as an increased rise in anti-Semitism, and the BDS movement. All in all, this convention was an incredible experience, and I cannot wait for the next, which will be held in Southern California.

The CBZ Social Action Committee is recruiting volunteers to help a local nonprofit, Annunciation House, that has been spearheading the effort to address the continued release of refugees to the street of El Paso. The Annunciation House provides hospitality - lodging, food, and transportation - to refugees during their short stay in El Paso before they travel to sponsors throughout the United States. The number of migrants released to El Paso can fluctuate, but certain needs are constant:- Spanish-speakers to complete intakes with migrants and help facilitate the logistics for the next step on their journeys;- volunteers to prepare and serve meals;- volunteers to transport migrants from shelters to the airport or bus station; and- monetary donations. You can help provide hachnasat orchim - hospitality. CBZ is recruiting Spanish-speaking volunteers to complete intakes with refugees. We are also helping Annunciation House to recruit volunteers to prepare meals for refugees and build its list of transportation volunteers. If you would like to volunteer or have any questions, please contact Kristin Kimmelman at 575-640-5806 or [email protected]. More information about Annunciation House is available at https://annunciationhouse.org/.

Sell Your Hametz

An integral part of the pre-Passover activities involves the selling of one’s

hametz. According to Jewish law, we are commanded to rid ourselves of all hametz

and utensils which have been used over the course of the year. The procedure is

simple. We follow the custom of selling our hametz and utensils to a non-Jew. In this

manner, the Biblical injunction regarding hametz is respected. B’nai Zion can help you

facilitate the proceedings. Kindly complete the form below and return it to me in the

synagogue office. I will sell your hametz on your behalf.

Let me take this opportunity, while well in advance, to wish you and yours an

enjoyable and happy Passover.

-Rabbi Scott Rosenberg, Head Rabbi

I hereby authorize Rabbi Rosenberg to sell my hametz. I understand that the hametz

will no longer be in my possession from Friday morning, April 19, 2019, at 8:00 am

until Saturday, April 27, 2019, at 9 PM.

PASSOVER BASICS Kashrut for Pesah

The following is a summary of the decisions of the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards (CJLS) of the Rabbinical Assembly pertaining to Passover foods, dishes, and utensils. Kosher le-Pesah labels that do not bear the name of a rabbi or one of the recognized symbols of rabbinic supervision, or which are not integral to the package, should not be used without consulting your rabbi.

Prohibited foods include the following:

• leavened bread, cakes, biscuits, crackers, cereal • coffees containing cereal derivatives • wheat, barley, oats spelt, rye • all liquids containing ingredients or flavors made from grain alcohol • Most Ashkenazic authorities have added the following foods (kitniyot) to the above list:

o rice, corn, millet, legumes (beans and peas; however, string beans are permitted) o Some Ashkenazic authorities permit, while others forbid, the use of legumes in a form other than their natural

state, for example: corn sweeteners, corn oil, soy oil. Sephardic authorities permit the use of all of the above. Consult a member of the clergy for guidance in the use of these products.

• The CJLS has ruled unanimously that peanuts and peanut oil are permissible A. PERMITTED FOODS:

1. The following foods REQUIRE a kosher le-Pesah label if purchased before or during Pesah i. all baked products (matzah, cakes, matzah flour, farfel, matzah meal, and any products containing matzah)

ii. canned or bottled fruit juices (these juices are often clarified with kitniyot which are not listed among the ingredients. However, if one knows there are no such agents, the juice may be purchased prior to Pesah without a kosher le-Pesah label)

iii. wine; vinegar; liquor; oils iv. dried fruits; candy; chocolate flavored milk; ice cream; yogurt, and soda

2. The following foods DON’T require a kosher le-Pesah label if purchased prior to Pesah i. unopened packages or containers of natural coffee without cereal additives (however, be aware that coffees

produced by General Foods are not kosher for Passover unless marked KP), pure tea (not herbal tea) ii. sugar; salt, pepper, natural spices

iii. frozen fruit juices with no additives; frozen (uncooked) vegetables (for legumes see above), frozen (uncooked) fruit (with no additives)

iv. milk; butter; cottage cheese 3. The following processed foods (canned, bottled or frozen) REQUIRE a kosher le-Pesah label if purchased during

Pesah i. milk, butter, juices, milk products, spices, coffee, tea, and fish

ii. unopened packages or containers of natural coffee without cereal additives (however, be aware that coffees produced by General Foods are not kosher for Passover unless marked KP), pure tea (not herbal tea)

iii. sugar, salt; pepper, natural spices iv. frozen fruit juices with no additives; frozen (uncooked) vegetables (for legumes see above), frozen (uncooked)

fruit (with no additives) v. milk; butter; cottage cheese

4. The following foods DON’T require kosher le-Pesah label if purchased before or during Pesah i. fresh fruits and vegetables (for legumes see above)

ii. eggs, fresh fish, fresh meat B. DETERGENTS

1. If permitted during the year, powdered and liquid detergents do not require a kosher le-Pesah label C. MEDICINE Since hametz binders are used in many pills, the following guidelines should be followed

1. if the medicine is required for life sustaining therapy, it may be used on Pesah

15

2. If it is not for life sustaining therapy, some authorities permit, while others prohibit. Consult the clergy. In all cases, capsules are preferable to pills

D. KASHERING OF UTENSILS: The process of kashering utensils depends on how the utensils are used. 1. According to halakhah, leaven can be purged from a utensil by the same process in which it was absorbed in the

utensil. Utensils used in cooking are kashered by boiling, those used in broiling are kashered by fire and heat, and those used only for cold food are kashered by rinsing. i. EARTHENWARE (china, pottery, etc.) may not be kashered. However, fine translucent chinaware which has not

been used for over a year may be used if scoured and cleaned in hot water. ii. METAL (wholly made of metal)

1. UTENSILS USED IN FIRE (spit, broiler) must first be thoroughly scrubbed and cleansed and then made as hot as possible. Those used for cooking or eating (silverware, pots) must be thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned and completely immersed in boiling water. Pots should not be used for a period of at least 24 hours between the cleaning and the immersion in boiling water. Metal baking utensils cannot be kashered.

iii. OVENS AND RANGES: 1. Every part that comes in contact with food must be thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned. Then, oven

and range should be heated as hot as possible for a half hour. If there is a broil setting, use it. Self-cleaning ovens should be put through the self-cleaning cycle according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Continuous cleaning ovens must be kashered in the same manner as regular ovens.

2. Microwave ovens, which do not cook the food by means of heat, should be cleaned, and then two cups of water should be placed inside. Then turn the oven on until one cup of water has boiled away. A microwave oven that has a browning element cannot by kashered for Pesah.

iv. GLASSWARE 1. Authorities disagree as to the method for kashering drinking utensils. One opinion requires soaking

in water for three days, changing the water every 24 hours. The other opinion requires only a thorough scrubbing before Pesah, or putting them through a dishwasher.

2. Glass cookware: There is a difference of opinion as to whether this item must be kashered. One opinion is that it must be kashered. After a thorough cleansing, there should be water boiled in it, which will overflow the rim. The other opinion is that only a thorough cleansing is required.

3. Glass bakeware, like metal bakeware, may not be kashered. v. DISHWASHER: After not using the machine for a period of 24 hours, a full cycle with detergent should be run

vi. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES 1. If the parts that come into contact with hametz are removable, they can be kashered in the

appropriate way (if metal, follow the rules for metal utensils). 2. If the parts are not removable, the appliance cannot be kashered. (All exposed parts should be

thoroughly cleaned.) E. TABLES, CLOSETS, AND COUNTERS: If used with hametz, they should be thoroughly cleaned and covered, and then they may

be used F. KITCHEN SINK: A metal sink can be kashered by thoroughly cleaning and then pouring boiling water over it. A porcelain sink

should be cleaned and a sink rack used. If, however, dishes are to be soaked in a porcelain sink, a dish basin must be used. G. HAMETZ AND NON-PASSOVER UTENSILS: Non-Passover dishes, pots, and hametz whose ownership has been transferred,

should be separated, locked up or covered, and marked in order to prevent accidental use.
