SOMETHING EXCITING IS HAPPENING AT BET HAVERIM THE WEEKEND OF MARCH 7th - 9th!
As you may remember, at the annual meeting last year, we began talking about hiring a part time cantor or rabbi, both to add new musical dimension to CBH and to allow our rabbi to cut back a bit on his time (we don't want to burn him out!). Our committee has been working diligently since then, reading resumes, interviewing people, and listening to some beautiful music. We have chosen a candidate to come to our synagogue, so that we can get to know him and see if he is a fit with Rabbi Greg and with our congregation. His name is Cantor Brian Reich and he has been a cantor for over 20 years. We hope you will come this weekend to at least one of the events below and then let us know what you think!

 Putting “U” in The Center of Community

On Sunday, April 13th,  all of us deserve to join together to “kvell” (the uniquely Yiddish word meaning to “beam with pride and pleasure”) about our community and our many successes.  Together we have created a dynamic and vibrant center for Jewish life here in Yolo County, offering a wide variety of educational, spiritual and cultural opportunities to learn and grow.  Lord knows there are plenty of chances to “kvetch” (also a uniquely Jewish word meaning to “moan and complain.”), but how often do we take the time to celebrate who we are and what we have achieved?  How often can we gather with all of our friends in our community just to have a good time, to visit and reconnect?  When was the last time you danced and played carnival games when your children weren’t around?  All this and more will be featured at this year’s amazing “Kvell in the Country.”

This special event is about YOU.  We are nothing without you!  We can exist only because of you, for you stand at the center of community.  So, in truth, it is you we are celebrating.  That is why it is so important for everyone--from all parts of our congregation--to come together to “kvell.”  Each one of you is a sacred part of the greater whole.  It is this wonderful bond that we share with one another that is the focal point of our “Kvell in the Country” event. 

Let us come together this April to kvell:  to rejoice in our accomplishments, to celebrate you, the fabulous individuals who make our community the special place that it is, and to build toward the future.  We hope you will be there because our community wouldn’t be the same without you!

Blessings,

Rabbi Greg

Be happy - it's the month of Adar, and Purim will soon be here! 


 

Here are a few pre-Purim thoughts:
Why didn't Queen Esther receive Mordechai's email warning her about Haman's plans for the Jews?      
Because she had an Achashvirus.

 

Jewish Vocabulary:
TORAHFIED:  Inability to remember one's lines at one's Bar or Bat mitzvah
MATZILATION: Smashing a piece of matzo to bits while trying to butter it.

MISHPOCHAMARKS  The assorted lipstick and make-up stains found on one's face and collar after kissing all one's aunts and cousins at a reception                   
ROSH HASHANANA:  A rock 'n roll band from Brooklyn.                    
KINDERSCHLEP:  To transport other kids in your car besides yours.   
OYVAYSMEAR:  What one says when the cream cheese squeezes out of the bagel and falls on your clean clothes.
 

Jewish Existentialism:  Walk on air, but not against the traffic lights.
And a few famous movie quotes, in Yiddish:                                                                              
Fun ale kretshmees oyf der velt, kumt zi arayn in mayne.                                                        
Dos leben is punkt vi a kestel fun shokoladen - Du veyst keynmol nit vos du vest krigen.  
Du redst tsu mir?

Chag Purim!

Esther

Israel@60 brought Noam Harel, the Israeli Emissary at the Jewish Federation in Sacramento, to our Sunday school. Noam (his Hebrew name means pleasantness, comfort) presented “The Case of Israel” to our 6th and 7th graders, focusing on the importance of Israel to all Jews and exploring the meaning of Israel to each student, personally. A few students shared disturbing incidents they have experienced at school just because they are Jewish.  They made us all proud by telling how they stood up for themselves and ultimately, for the Jewish people, and all people.

Battle of the Books engaged 15 students from grades 5, 6 and 7 competing on their knowledge of four Jewish books. Participants each read between one to four books, formed three teams named after three tribes of Israel: Levi, Asher and Judah. Levi won the Battle and will enjoy a group trip to “Six flags”. The rest of the Israelites received gift certificates to Ben & Jerry.  However, the reward is so much greater since, as we say many times, the journey is far more important than the destination. These students learned about Jewish heroes & values, history, identity & dilemmas through their readings. They extended and enriched their Sunday school education beyond its limited time and moreover, shared the books and their contents with their parents. I’m extremely proud of them.  Whooping thanks to Dea Diamant who orchestrated the battle, from choosing books to writing questions, to soliciting prizes and to running the final event.  A good idea became a treasured experience for our students because of your commitment. Thanks Dea!

Oh Jonah!

Keshet News 

Meeting world fixers continued for our 8th & 9th graders until the end of January. Sarah Jaffe and Yonah and Matt Biers-Ariel were followed by our CBH member Stuart Bresnick and Julie Helmus. Stuart shared the goals and achievements of Yolo Habitat for Humanity as well as his personal experiences and rewards working with and for this organization. Our students were inspired and we’ll reconnect with Stuart when they reach the age – in just a few years.  Julie Helmus, communication associate for “Freedom from Hunger” concluded our series. Her lively and engaging presentation, with the aid of a UCD intern, took our students to far away places where this organization uses funds and local resources to educate people, especially women, so they can better provide for their families. Our presenters opened our eyes in so many ways: We saw the outside world that needs so much repair, we had the opportunity to appreciate how fortunate we are, and we were empowered to be fixers. Thanks to all our guests for volunteering their time to teach the students of Keshet High.
Keshet started the month of February with a new round of electives. Due to high student interest, we decided to continue offering “Ethical Debate” and “Women, Sex and other Funny Text”. A new option this semester is “Israel Experience” which is filled with immersion into Israeli life: Culture, food, teens in Israel and more.
Parents, if you have any concerns, comments, suggestions, etc. regarding Keshet High, please don’t hesitate to contact me (Malka Sansani) at school@bethaverim.org


 

 

Attention DNJJYites!


Our January events were successful! Everyone who attended had a lot of fun. I want to congratulate our new DNJJY board. The officers are Max Brumer –President, Sean Winograd- Programming Vice President, Benjy Egel- Membership Vice President, and Dana Wilk – Communications Vice President. Once again I wish to extend to them my congratulations along with my faith that they will strive to perform the duties of their positions.
Our FIRST EVER OVERNIGHT EVENT was a HUGE success. We had 20 DNJJYites stay the night with us. Throughout the night we talked, ate food and watched movies; additionally we started our night and our week with a beautiful Havdalah service and studied a passage from the Pirke Avos (Teachings of our Fathers). The event was a great milestone for our youth group and now we have to set our goals even higher.
On February 24 DNJJY went to Yogurt Shack to hang out, nosh on some frozen yogurt, and get to know each other. I look forward to more great attendance at Rocknasium.
Upcoming Events: March 23 Rocknasium
Please fill out and return to the office your DNJJY membership forms - teens will not be allowed to participate if their emergency forms are not on file.
If you have any questions about events or the youth group please feel free to email me (Louis Sachs) at cbhyouth@yahoo.com

Watercolors and Poetry in Two VoicesSunday, March 2, 3 - 5 p.m., CBH Social Hall

 

A presentation of cutting edge watercolor paintings by Joseph Finkleman and two-voice poetry written and performed by Joseph and Susan Finkleman.

 

In his series Stories from the Bible That Have Never Been Told, Joseph explores the boundaries between form and not form, using the rich content of the Torah, the Talmud, the Zohar and the Midrash..  In their two-voice poetry, Joseph and Susan explore truth from a variety of paradigms while taking that special form of conversation between familiars to a new level.  It's poetry, it's drama, it's improvisation with the spoken word, it's unique.

 

Plans for a follow-up poetry workshop will be discussed.


IN STITCHES

 

In Stitches is an informal drop-in group for anyone who enjoys needle arts, such as knitting, crocheting, beading, embroidery, needlepoint or quilting, in the company of other likeminded persons.  Meetings are generally held the FIRST and THIRD THURSDAY of the month, from 12 noon to about  2 p.m. in the Library of CBH, unless the office is closed for a holiday.

 

For more information, or to be added to the mailing list, contact Judy Dresher at 756-8239, mailto:judith.dresher@gmail.com

A Landmark Event in CBH History
It'll Knock Your Kippah Off!

Sunday evening, April 13, 2008
Heidrick Ag History Center, Woodland

Your invitation to fine dining, music, dancing, auction & more is en route! A fun way to sustain CBH & Jewish community in Yolo County. Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, individual admission has been reduced to just $72/person.

 Sponsorships are still available for individuals/families & businesses

COME OUT AND KVELL, Y'ALL!

  

COME OUT AND KVELL, Y'ALL! 

A Short Note from the Fundraising Chair:

Hello CBH families:

Shortly, if not already, each of you should be receiving your Kvell in the Country invitation in the mail. In the spirit of the Yiddish word kvell  "to beam with pride and joy" -  I want to share a few thoughts about our committee¹s hopes and visions for the event.  We are making every effort to build an evening that will be attended and enjoyed by many many CBH families. After surpassing our goals for generating Blue Ribbon Sponsors (we have 29!) and out of a desire to make the event as accessible as possible, we have reduced the price to $72 per person. And, as always, if that price presents a barrier to your attendance, please let us know. Arrangements are in place to ensure that the event will be as inclusive as possible.
All of the major pieces now are in place: we have a wonderful facility, delicious food, outstanding live music and dancing, an exciting live and silent auction, a full bar and good ol¹ carnival games. Rather than being designed for a specific few, this event has been organized to include all, to please all and to celebrate us all.
Our ultimate message is that if you belong to CBH, WE WANT YOU AT KVELL! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

In community,

Mark Simon,  msimon@omsoft.com

The Kvell in the Country auction already includes an impressive
selection of restaurant gift certificates, spa packages, a quilt by our own Diane
 Moore, original paintings by Melissa Chandon and Peter London, vacation homes

 offer a service, whether cooking a dinner, baking treats, tutoring Hebrew or
 giving massages.

    b. Perhaps you could take someone fishing or lead a day hike.  You know
your talents...we hope you will be willing to share them!

    c. Maybe you have a piece of art or furniture in your home that you
 once treasured, but no longer really want?  Now is the perfect time to put
 it up for auction
.

    d. Do you have a vacation home that you'd be willing to share for a
 weekend?  Also welcome are gift certificates, entertainment and

(1995-2000), Director of the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s diplomatic training program (1993-1995) and Consul at the Israeli Consulate in Atlanta, GA (1989-1993).A native Israeli, Consul General Akov served in the Israel Defense Forces following high school. He then went on to earn a B.A. in Middle East History and an M.A. in Political Science and Political Thought, both from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He is married to Tamar, a graphic and industrial designer, and they have three children – Shira, Ido and Eliyah. This presentation will be open to the public. A brief question and answer session will follow Consul General Akov's presentation.

The CBH Library is available for use.  It has been organized with call numbers and there is a database listing the cataloged books.  A list of books and other materials from that database will be available online.  Come in and browse and borrow books as you need to.  If you have other library/information needs or interests please let the Library committee know by writing to kenfirestein@yahoo.com .  Books may be borrowed for one month and access to the library is whenever the office is open.  How to borrow books and other information is posted in the library.


 

ISRAEL@ 60
CBH is planning a special series of events on May 2-4 to honor and learn from the 60th anniversary of the creation of Israel as an independent state. That weekend, which includes our annual Yom Ha-Atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) celebration, will feature several programs led by a visiting educator from Melitz, an independent, nonprofit organization in Israel that fosters strong connections between Israel and Jews elsewhere.


 

Our visiting educator, Alexandra Benjamin, will lead a series of interactive discussions and other programs for a variety of CBH audiences during the weekend.  She is a native of London, England, who made aliyah five years ago.  An experienced Jewish educator even before moving to Israel, Alexandra has a Masters degree in Jewish Studies from University College, London.   As a licensed tour guide she has worked with groups from all over the world on short trips and long-term programs in Israel.  In the United States. she has worked with all age groups and denominations, bringing high level Israel and Jewish education into schools, synagogues, Hillels, and other institutions.

Check the April e-tone for the complete agenda of May 2-4 programs.
