Bar Mitzvah of Andrew Eisen, son of Amy & Ed EisenShabbat Shiur 12 NOON

Dear Chaverim,There are many gifts which the Jew-ish people have given to the world, the most prominent of which is the Shabbat. But there is one gift which God gave to us as human beings that surpasses any gift that we may have given to the world. That gift is the gift of memory.

Several times the Torah commands us, “Zachor – Remem-ber!” It is through memory that the past lives on, whether it be lives of loved ones or historical events in the world.Early in April we have three of the most recent observances on the Jewish calendar – Yom Ha-Shoah (Holocaust Memo-rial Day). Yom Ha-Zikaron (Israel Memorial Day) and Yom Ha-Atzmaut (Israel Independence Day).Yom Ha-Shoah falls on the 27th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan (see further into this message why it will be observed this year on the 28th of Nisan which is Monday, April 8th). At 10:00 AM in Israel, the sirens are sounded throughout the country for two minutes. Every person and every task comes to a halt for these two minutes. All forms of transportation stop. Drivers and often passengers step outside the bus or car and stand silently in remembrance of the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust and the millions of others killed during World War II. The hustle and noise that fi lls the air at

the airport stops. Security checks and baggage registration stops. Cashiers stop scanning groceries and supermarkets come to an eerie silence. Our annual Yom Ha-Shoah service will take place on Friday evening, April 5th. This will be the 17th annual community observance in Haverhill with members of the Temple Ema-nu-El Makheila (choir) participating along with members of the Greater Haverhill Clergy Association who will be reading selections written during the Holocaust. This is an important community observance which we help facilitate. This year we also have a special program for Yom Ha-Sho-ah. The Adult Education Committee will be presenting Night Words: A Midrash on the Holocaust, in Cascia Hall on the campus of Merrimack College in North Andover on Sunday, April 7th at 2:00 PM. The committee presented this program to our Temple community in observance of Kristallnacht in November 2011. At that time it was felt by those who par-ticipated in the dramatic reading and by those who attended it be presented for the greater community in the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire. Please be with us as we present this very powerful program.Back to Israel. Exactly one week after Yom Ha-Shoah falls Yom Ha-Zikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day, ending a full 7 days of mourning. Yom Ha-Zikaron begins this year at sundown on Sunday, April 14th with the sirens being sounded throughout the country for two minutes of silence before a memorial ceremony held at the Kotel, the Western Wall. The sirens are sounded the next day in the morning as on Yom Ha-Shoah. Once again, the entire country comes to a halt, this time in memory of the soldiers who have died in the many wars that Israel has had to fi ght in her short existence as a nation of the world. Yom Ha-Zikaron normally falls on the 4th of Iyar on the Hebrew calendar but when the 4th of Iyar falls on a Sun-day (as it does this year), it is postponed one day because the ceremony with the sirens sounding the evening before would have to begin after Shabbat is over and that would be too late. Hence, Yom Ha-Shoah, Yom Ha-Zikaron and Yom Ha-Atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) are all moved one day later to accommodate the full week of mourning.As the sun is setting on Yom Ha-Zikaron, Israelis take to the streets to celebrate Yom Ha-Atzmaut. There is a lot of noise on the streets but not from sirens. People are singing, danc-ing, attending concerts (many of Israel’s popular singers perform free concerts on the evening of Yom Ha-Atzmaut), watching fi rework displays and simply having a good time together.This is a truly Jewish phenomenon for Israelis to go from a week of mourning (Yom Ha-Shoah through Yom Ha-Zikaron) and immediately begin to celebrate their nation’s birth. Is-raelis recognize that life must go on despite the horrors that Israel and the Jewish people faced during the past 80 years. Zachor – Remember! This commandment has helped the Jewish people and the Jewish religion survive for over 3,000 years! It is not merely a commandment written in the Torah; it is an obligation that every Jew must perpetuate for our people’s sake.

Scout Shabbat

Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts from Northern Massachu-setts and Southern New Hampshire gathered on Friday, March 8th at Temple Emanu-El in Haverhill, Massachu-setts to celebrate Scout Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. Scout Shabbat offers an opportunity for Scouts to show their duty to God, an integral part of the Scout Oath, and allows worshipers to honor Scouts and Scout leaders in the community for their achievements and service. As part of the regular Friday evening service, Rabbi Ira Korinow recognized all of the Scouts and spoke about the connection between Scouting and this week’s read-ing from the Book of Exodus. All of the Scouts received a special patch to commemorate the event.

HEFTY NewsHEFTY’s year is starting to wind down, but we are far from running out of steam! Our last project was running concessions and assisting at the Purim Carnival, which was lively and successful. A group of HEFTYITES will be traveling to Schenectady, New York for the regional Fall Conclavette. It promises to be an amazing time. Our annual Creative Service is planned for April 12th. We have chosen the theme for this year to be Jews in Entertainment. Needless to say, the service should be very entertaining! Our next event will be a rerun of the lunch at Wasabi that was canceled in February due to a blizzard. Anyone remember that?On April 24th, slating letters of intent are due from mem-bers who want to run for an Executive Board position for 2013-2014. The slating committee then meets to deter-mine the slate of offi cers by May 8th, the slated offi cers and Board members will be contacted confi rming the po-sitions that they will have for the next year. There is then a period to contest the slate from May 9th - May 17th. The fi nal slate of offi cers will be voted on at the Spring Bar-becue on May 19th. Details of the slating procedure were sent to the membership in the middle of March. Preparations have already begun for the end of year barbeque. The barbeque is an age-old tradition where we gather at someone’s house, have a cookout and vote on next year’s Board. The barbecue ends with an Old Board/New Board workshop where we transfer du-ties and brainstorm events and themes for the following year. Plans are underway to schedule an Old Board/New Board off-site retreat during the Memorial Day weekend. HEFTY’s year is coming to a close, but there are still sev-eral activities and some of our most important events yet to come.

Haverhill Jewish Scholarship Loan AssociationSunday, April 28 9:00 am

The Mandell Conference Room

Last year, our Association gave out $17,800 in Loans, Scholarships, and Book Grants to Jewish students in the community. We usually meet just once a year and ask little of our members. We hope you will consider joining us. Come hear what we are all about. You do not need to have a school age child to participate. We welcome all community members to join us and feel good about help-ing our young people prepare for the future.

Indoor Picnic/Game DayOver 50 people attended our fourth annual Indoor Picnic/ Game Day. Everyone had a wonderful time. There was plenty of food, both hot and cold. It was great to see every-one so relaxed. As a family day it was wonderful; children and adults spent time together eating, playing games and just kibbitzing. Thank you to everyone who made donations and attended. Part of the fun is having so many people together, so just by attending members added to others enjoyment.

Please inform the Temple if you would like this event re-peated next year, and what other social events you would like the temple to organize. We value your input.

Harriet PeickIndoor Picnic/Game Day Coordinator

It is very much appreciated.

Fu n d r a i s i n g at Te mp l e E m a n u-E lScrip Comes to Temple Emanu-El!Shop with Scrip is an easy way to support Temple Emanu-El. Simply purchase gift cards (or “scrip”) for places where you plan to shop, and use those cards instead of cash or credit. The Temple purchases the gift cards at a discount and sells them at full face value; you use them at full face value at your favorite retailer. The beauty is that you put your regular shopping dollars to work. You earn money for the Temple without spending a single additional penny. Keep cards for Shaw’s, Kohl’s, Starbucks, Target, CVS, Dunkin Donuts and many other retailers in your pocket to use just like cash. Scrip can be used for all your household purchases: groceries, clothes, household supplies, gasoline, entertainment, dining, and gifts, to name just a few.Our fi rst two orders, though small, were quite successful. As we increase our participation, this has the potential to be a great fundraiser for the Temple.Order forms and additional information are available in the Temple offi ce and library, as well as on our website at www.TempleEmanu-El.org/fundraising. You may also order scrip online at www.shopwithscrip.com. Please submit all orders and payment to the Temple offi ce no later than April 10, 2013.

Adult EducationPresents

A special Yom Ha-Shoah Commemoration “Night Words – A Midrash on the Holocaust”, written by David Roskies, will be held at Cascia Hall on the campus of Merrimack College (315 Turn-pike Street; North Andover, MA ) on Sunday April 7th, 2:00pm. Night Words, oriented toward adults and older children is a dramatic reading by 36 participants

which brings together the boldest writings from rabbinic, medieval, and modern literary sources, dialogue, voices, questioning, and even orchestrated rage at the calamity of the Shoah.

This program, with readings by Temple members is presented by the Temple Emanu-El Adult Ed Committee. Invitations to do readings have been extended to other community Temples and clergy. Congregants and young adults interested in participating are encouraged to con-tact Fred Feldman (603-580-5779; fredfeldman@comcast.net ).

For the reading, as the participants of the reading enter, they line up in a row and relinquish their shoes to the ush-ers. They then proceed to the “Place of Meeting” (within Cascia Hall) and are seated. There is music in the back-ground and sufficient light to read by. A quorum for this service is 36 people, men, and young adults. Roles are distributed in advance and require no prior preparation. Each participant receives a text of the service from which they read. Non-reading attendees are seated around the hall.

The reading has a basis in a millennial-old Jewish legend that there are 36 righteous people on earth, called Lamed Vavniks, unknown to others and themselves unaware of their mission. No Lamed-Vav knows who the others are.

In fact, they often do not know that they themselves are a Lamed-Vav. They lead challenging lives, taking upon themselves the sorrows of the world. When they are needed, they perform acts of kindness, charity, bravery – and then immediately return to their ordinary lives, without the realization that they have just accomplished an act that has caused the Divine to manifest in the world.

The 36: Story-teller; Historian; Rabbi; Messenger; Judge; Clerk; Teacher; Soldier; Prophet; Clown; Abraham; Nurse; Isaac; Tailor; Dreamer; Mystic; Investigator; Philosopher; Magician; Barber; Scribe; Mute; Musician; Child; Cobbler; Carpenter; Counsel for Defense; Witness; Woman; Doctor; Painter; Singer; Citizen; Poet; School Girl; Hazan (Cantor).

Attendees are requested to R.S.V.P. nancy@templeemanu-el.org or call 978-373-3861.

The Center for the Study of Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations (JCM) at Merrimack College is a co-sponsor of the event.

The Adult Education Committee of Temple Emanu-El is sponsoring the commemorative reading and the program will be recorded for re-broadcast by Haverhill Community TV.

BOOK CLUB

BookNotes &As I announced recently, we in HaSifriyah are in the midst of plans to upgrade our cataloguing and circulation system. Our current library software is obsolete and no longer sup-ported by the developer, thereby placing our data at risk in the event of a hardware crash. Our hope is to obtain dona-tions of approximately $1500 to allow us to purchase new software and a new computer. One of my priorities for the new cataloguing software is to fi nd a package that will al-low members of Temple Emanu-El to search our database online. If you are able to assist us by making a donation for this upgrade, please contact Nancy in the offi ce.In March, the Temple book group met to explore The God Upgrade by Rabbi Jamie Korngold, a book which explores historical concepts of God and advocates a contemporary notion of God that is compatible with both science and Judaism. Though opinion on the book was divided, it pro-vided the impetus for a wide-ranging discussion, covering topics such as pantheism; whether God intervenes in the world; whether science and religion are in confl ict; and what makes one Jewish. Thanks to everyone who participated!For our next meeting, on Sunday, April 28 at 10:00am, we will be discussing Once We Were Brothers, by Richard Bal-son. Part legal thriller, part historical fi ction, Once We Were Brothers travels from Nazi-occupied Poland to present-day Chicago, exploring themes of identity, family and betrayal.

Recent acquisitions in HaSifriyah include:Making Loss Matter: Creating Meaning in Diffi cult Times, by Rabbi David WolpeRequiem: Poems of the Terezin Ghetto, by Paul B.Janeczko (thanks to Rona Gofstein for her donation)Superman: the High-Flying History of America’s Most Enduring Hero, by Larry TyeA Woman in Jerusalem, by A. B. Yehoshua (thanks to Rita Harris for her donation)

As always, I’d like to thank everyone for continuing to support our fundraising efforts through the

Amazon.com Associates Program. All funds are used to ac-quire books, magazines, music, videos and supplies for the library. This is a year-round program, so please keep the link handy (or access it from the website (www.templeema-nu-el.org/hasifriyahlibrary) and tell your friends and family.

Honor your Mother and your FatherThe Torah tells us that we must always honor our parents. Our Jewish tradition extends that law to say that we must honor all our loved ones, and remember them in death. There is no better way to remember and honor the memory of your departed family members than to have a Memorial Yahrzeit Plaque on the wall of the Temple sanctuary.

You have seen the plaques on the wall of the sanctuary. Each week, the plaques belonging to our beloved departed, whose Yahrzeit, or anniversary of death, is that week, are lighted. This is to recognize the anniversary of that person, and to give us an opportunity to lovingly honor the memory of that person, at least once every year. Also, three times per year, on Yizkor, all the plaques are lit to remember all the loved ones of our Temple.

The plaque contains the name of the deceased, both in English and Hebrew, as well as the date of the person’s death. The plaques are available whenever the sanctuary is open, so someone can always see the name and remember the loving memories of the departed family member. This is a loving way to remember a parent, spouse or child.

The cost of a memorial Yahrzeit plaque is a one-time cost of $250. This cost includes the engraving of the plaque, placing it on the wall, in alphabetical order, and having it lit on Yahrzeit and Yizkor to perpetuity. To purchase a plaque, contact Nancy or the Rabbi at the Temple, (978) 373-3861.
