Beth Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation Newsletter Year 2011 - 50th Anniversary Edition: III

TBS News

What a beautiful afternoon! We had a great group of people in attendance. Everyone enjoyed the wonderful performances by the world renown Soprano Elizabeth Caballero and the acclaimed Cantor Stephen Texon. The concert was flawless, opera lyrics from famous composers along with Cantorial pieces were included in the program. Sergio J. Puig accompanied them at the piano and you could see as he caressed the keys effortlessly and the notes simply flowed. The concert, which was enjoyed by an audience composed of people of all ages is a qualified triumph for our Temple. We strive to present the best available, and with the continued cooperation and donations from our members, we hope to be able to bring more entertainment of this caliber. We would like to thank our most generous sponsors, Oscar and Rosita Boruchin, and Isaac and Nieves Olemberg. For those who missed this wonderful OPERATIC CANTORIAL CONCERT, we certainly look forward to seeing you in the future when we present our next event for your enjoyment.

Although Bin Laden wore no military uniform and held no official military rank, he was an appropriate military target. As the titular and spiritual head of Al Qaeda, he was the functional equivalent of a head of state or commander in chief of a terrorist army. From the beginning of recorded history, killing the king was the legitimate object of military action. The very phrase "checkmate" means "the king is dead, "signifying the successful end of the battle.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

In order to be more conscious about our environment, Temple Beth Shmuel is going green. If you would like to stop receiving the Bulletin in the mail and would prefer to read it online instead, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and write going green in the subject. We will e-mail it to you. The same can be done with your monthly statements. This year we have created numerous social, educational and spiritual opportunities to draw our congregation and the community together. The Cuban Jews have made history since back in 1961 when “El Circulo” - Cuban Hebrew Congregation of Miami was built. And this year, we continue to make history as we get ready for the celebration of our 50th Jubilee Anniversary. Join us in the festivities as we celebrate and honor the men and women who have contributed to the Cuban Hebrew Congregation – Temple Beth Shmuel throughout the years, walk or ride with us as we join the City of Miami Beach Veterans Parade and dance the evening away at the Golden Anniversary Gala Dinner on November 12, 2011. All Temple Beth Shmuel needs is you. Stay connected or reconnect. Looking forward to seeing you throughout the year in our Minyans, Oneg Shabbats, Shabbat Services, Cultural Programs, High Holidays and on the 50th Jubilee Anniversary. Have a great summer, Becky Kobrowski-Cohen

Dear members It has been an exciting, yet challenging year. We have done our best to meet the needs of our members in diff icult economic times letting the heart of Temple Beth Shmuel be our guide. The Board of Directors maintains its policy of assisting every member and keeping our doors open to anyone seeking a Jewish home. Summer is here and our dedicated staff and volunteers are busily engaged in preparing our sacred space to welcome you for the High Holidays and the new school year. We are in the process of collecting membership dues and commitments. As we do so, we are very conscious of the fact that the economic situation has hurt many in our community. Now more than ever we are mindful of the generosity of those who have stepped forward in financial support of our Temple Beth Shmuel family. Our hope is that this year we can continue to count on you and others who find themselves financially able. Temple Beth Shmuel gives us the opportunity to celebrate the joy of Judaism by tapping into our spiritual lives, intellectual curiosity and engaging in a caring community. We rely on the commitment of each one of us to keep our community strong and growing. Because membership dues cover less than half of TBS operating budget, we depend on your continued and increased generosity to the annual Kol Nidre Appeal. As we renew ourselves in the New Year, please help Temple Beth Shmuel continue to grow and service our members and the community.

Message from the Women’s League by Tere Ben-Hain

During the month of May, we held our special Mother’s Day Shabbat Services. It was a very well attended event and everyone enjoyed our special program together with the Shabbat Services. Afterwards, our Kiddush luncheon was a huge success, as usual. For Father’s Day, we also had a wonderful program and one which was well attended by our congregants and enjoyed by everyone. Our Kiddush luncheon after the Shabbat Services was very well received by all who attended. All our ladies of the Women’s League have done a great job in organizing these two events every year, but especially our Chairlady, Tete Wenguer, who year after year exceeds our expectations. Kudos for everyone!

We held our annual luncheon on Thursday, June 23rd, 2011 in our cocktail room and were entertained by a Cuban musician, Daysi Celia Almirall, who played an array of old Cuban songs plus a few Jewish songs. We had a big turnout of women from all over the community, who came to enjoy and have an afternoon of fun. They also came to honor our very own past president, Anita Sapoznik. She was very happy and touched by our decision to make her our Woman of the Year. We all danced a horah to the tune of Hava Nagilah and made a circle around Anita to show her our love and support. We wish her and Lazaro to be well in the future and enjoy life every minute.

Now we have to look ahead to the rest of the year 2011 when El Circulo celebrates our 50th Anniversary and lots of events are being planned. Please make sure that you are here with us to celebrate this important year.

We would like also to thank Tete Wenguer, Julia Miller and Dora Epelbaum

for their kiddush preparation every week.

SOCIAL EVENTS

Honor your Father and your Mother. Bruce Libhaber also stated that when we honor our mother and father, we are thanking the Creator. It is one of the few obligations that exist throughout our lifetime, but most importantly, it continues to exist even when one’s mother or father passes physically from this earth. Speakers for the Congregations were Moises Egozi, President, and Roland Behar, Director of Temple Moses; Rosita Zelcer, President, and Dr. Isidoro Morjaim, Past President of Temple Menorah, and Marcos Kerbel,, Past President on behalf of Temple Beth Shmuel. Other Past Presidents of the three Congregations were also in attendance, as well as Rabbi Pearlson and Cantor Isaac Salinas, who chanted a Prayer. Marcos spoke of Ileana’s admirable personal qualities as a servant-leader. He stated that “if there is ever going to be peace between the Arabs and the Jewish people, it is because one day, hopefully, in the not too distant future, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen will be the leader of the negotiating team. “Ileana, you love this community, this community loves you, Israel loves you, Cubans and all people of this globe who love freedom and democracy also love you,” he said. Dr. Isidoro Morjaim and Roland Behar spoke about Ileana’s statesman attributes and their knowledge of the Adato family who both knew well in Cuba going back to their grandparents’ days.

On Sunday, June 5th, 2011, a total of 200 members of the Cuban Jewish Community of Miami, represented by the Cuban Hebrew Congregation-Temple Beth Shmuel, Sephardic Congregation of Florida-Temple Moses and Temple Menorah, gathered at noon for brunch at Temple Moses to honor Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. She had recently assumed the position of Chairperson of the Foreign Relations Committee, one of the most influential Committees of the United States Congress. By honoring her, Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen and all of us, were also honoring her mother, the late Amanda (“Mandy”) Adato Ros, who passed away on January 28, 2011, having been born to a Cuban Sephardic family. At the funeral, Marcos Kerbel and Roland Behar approached Ileana to express their condolences and Ileana said to them that “her mother always reminded her never to forget her Jewish roots.” From that painful moment, the idea was born to honor Ileana and her mother, and for all three Synagogues to join in this tribute. Bruce Libhaber, Secretary of the Board of Temple Moses, gave a very emotional and eloquent opening remarks as the event’s Master of Ceremonies. He reminded us that this Honor follows Jewish law, “since our Rabbis teach us that it is important that when another human being does something that is helpful, it is an honor, not merely appropriate, but it requires that we say thank you.” He addressed the audience by telling about Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “Thank you to a tireless advocate for the State of Israel. Thank you for not forgetting that a true friend of Israel is a true friend of the United States. Thank you for remembering that a nuclear free Iran and Syria is the safest way to preserve the State of Israel. Thank you for reminding us and the world of the brutal dictatorship that continues to exist a mere 90 miles south of the United States’ border. Thank you, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, for never forgetting where you came from.” The timing was very appropriate because that same week, we celebrated Shavuot, G-d’s gift to Moses and the Jewish people of the Ten Commandments, being the 5th Commandment,

Please send the material before August 31th.

Temple Beth Shmuel welcomed 75 people from Cascade Lakes Jewish Heritage Club from Boyton Beach to tour our beautiful Synagogue and enjoy Vilma’s Cuban coffee.

Amazing things are happening here…. Continued from previous page... Ileana, who was accompanied by her husband, children, father, brother, aunt, and staff, spoke about the dynamic influence her mother “Mandy” had on her, as her grandfather had on her mother. She had the correct Cuban saying for every occasion. For her mother, every day was special and she was a friend of everyone and did not have a single enemy. She was always at her husband’s side and planned every day around him. Her mother was very proud of her Jewish blood and heritage. She felt very much at home in the Jewish faith and the Jewish traditions.” In conclusion, that Sunday we were commemorating two distinctly Jewish Mitzvot: 1) To thank someone who has helped us and 2) To participate in the honoring of one’s mother. Ruth Miller (Event Coodinator), Becky Kobrowsky-Cohen

(President of TBS) and Roz Qurtz (President)

Targeted Killing Vindicated By Alan M. Dershowitz

The decision to target and kill Osama Bin Laden is being applauded by all decent people. Approval to capture or kill this mass-murdering terrorist leader was given by Presidents Obama and Bush. It was the right decision, both morally and legally. Although Bin Laden wore no military uniform and held no official military rank, he was an appropriate military target. As the titular and spiritual head of Al Qaeda, he was the functional equivalent of a head of state or commander in chief of a terrorist army. From the beginning of recorded history, killing the king was the legitimate object of military action. The very phrase "checkmate" means "the king is dead, "signifying the successful end of the battle. Yet there are those who claim that all targeted killings are immoral and illegal. These critics characterize such actions as "extrajudicial executions" and demand that terrorist leaders and functionaries be treated as common criminals who must be arrested and brought to trial. The operation that resulted in Bin Laden's death was a military action calculated to kill rather than to "arrest" him. It is possible, though highly unlikely, that he could have been captured alive and brought to trial. The decision to employ military personnel with guns, rather than a drone firing rockets, was probably made by generals rather than lawyers. Had it been militarily preferable to fire a rocket, that option would almost certainly have been selected--as it was by the NATO forces that rocketed Ghadafy's compound. A rocket attack would have been a pure targeted killing with no possibility of live capture. The operation directed against Bin Laden may have been designed, in part, to have preserved the theoretical option of "arrest", though the likelihood of a live capture was virtually impossible under the circumstances. Indeed it is likely that Bin Laden's death was deemed preferential to his capture and trial, because the latter would have raised the probability that Al Qaeda would take hostages and try to exchange them for Bin Laden. Indeed, a US national security official has confirmed to Reuters that "this was a kill operation" and there was no desire to capture Bin Laden alive. This was a targeted kill appropri-ate for a military combatant but not for an ordinary (or even extraordinary) criminal.

Nonetheless, our government felt it necessary to announce that Bin Laden was shot after he allegedly resisted thus suggesting he was not killed in cold blood. But it is clear that he would have been killed whether or not he resisted, since this was a kill operation from the outset and it is unlikely he was ever given the opportunity to surrender an opportunity not required under the laws of war. Accordingly, those who have opposed the very concept of targeted killings should be railing against the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Among others, these critics include officials in Britain, France, Italy, Russia, the EU, Jordan, and the United Nations. Former British Foreign Secretary once said, "The British government has made it repeatedly clear that so-called targeted assassinations of this kind are unlawful, unjustified and counterproductive." The French foreign ministry has declared "that extrajudicial executions contravene international law and are unacceptable." The Italian Foreign Minister has said, "Italy, like the whole of the European Union, has always condemned the practice of targeted assassinations." The Russians have asserted that "Russia has repeatedly stressed the unacceptability of extrajudicial settling of scores and 'targeted killings.'" Javier Solana has noted that the "European Union has consistently condemned extrajudicial killings." The Jordanians have said, "Jordan has always denounced this policy of assassination and its position on this has always been clear." And Kofi Annan has declared "that extrajudicial killings are violations of international law." Yet none of these nations, groups or individuals have criticized the targeted killing of Osama Bin Laden by the US. The reason is obvious. All the condemnations against targeted killing was directed at one country. Guess which one? Israel, of course. Israel developed the concept of targeted killings and used it effectively against the "Osama Bin Ladens" of Hamas, who directed terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, killing and wounding more Israelis, as a percentage of its population, than the number killed by Bin Laden. It was when Israel managed to kill the head of Hamas, that the international community, with the striking exception of the United States, decided that targeted killing was illegal and immoral.

In honor of the Jubilee 50th Anniversary year, Temple Beth Shmuel will be offering membership for 2011-2012 to our temple members’ children and grandchildren who are not yet members for $50.00 each. We are looking forward to a tremendous year in which we will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary with all the generations of our families. To become a member, contact Ofelia (305) 534-7213

But now that it has been used against an enemy of Britain, France, Italy and other European nations, the tune has changed. Suddenly targeted killing is not only legal and moral, it is praiseworthy (except, of course, to Hamas, which immediately condemned the US killing of Bin Laden). Well the truth is that when used properly, targeted killing has always been deserving of approval—even when employed by Israel, a nation against which a double standard always seems to be applied. Indeed, in Israel, the use of targeted killings has been closely regulated by its Supreme Court and

permitted only against terrorists who are actively engaged in ongoing acts of terrorism. In the United States, on the other hand, the decisions to use this tactic is made by the President alone, without any form of judicial review. So let the world stop applying a double standard to Israel and let it start judging the merits and demerits of military tactics such as targeted killing. On balance, targeted killing, when used prudently against proper military targets, can be an effective, lawful, and moral tool in the war against terrorism. Source: Jewish World Review

Temple Beth Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation of Miami, Inc. has obtained 60 gravesites in the new "Genesis" section at Lakeside Memorial Park. These sites are in an exclusive section created for Temple Beth Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation of Miami members and their families. Each grave costs $2,500-$3,000, payable to Temple Beth Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation.

It is wise to do planning and purchase long before the gravesites will be needed. It relieves the family of a difficult decision if death comes unexpectedly. If you were to purchase similar gravesites at a time of need, the price would be approximately $5,000.

The graves are located in a brand new section, beautifully landscaped, and can be marked with either a monument or a memorial plaque. Making a pre-need investment of this sort is a wise decision for you and your extended family.

Contact Ofelia Ruder at the temple office 305-534-7213, who can arrange your purchase or answer any questions you may have.

Lakeside Memorial Park is located at 10301 NW 25th Street, Miami, Florida 33172

SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL

Oasis de paz por Roland J Behar

Buscando información sobre la vida de los árabes israelíes, descubrí la existencia de una comunidad llamada Neve Shalom / Wahat al Salam lo que, en hebreo y en árabe, significa Oasis de Paz. Me pareció interesante, no sólo por lo peculiar, si no por lo que nos enseña a todos, judíos y árabes. Neve Shalom / Wahat al Salam fue fundada en 1970 por el hermano dominico Bruno Hussar en tierras adyacentes al Monasterio de Latrún, se encuentra en un punto geográfico equidistante de Jerusalén, Tel Aviv y Jaffa. Crea un espacio donde cristianos, judíos y musulmanes conviven en paz y armonía. Los primeros se asentaron en 1977 y desde el 2010 son más de 60 familias. Sus residentes están demostrando la posibilidad de coexistencia entre judíos y palestinos mediante el desarrollo de una comunidad basada en la tolerancia mutua, el respeto y la colaboración. La comunidad, sin afiliación política como tal, es gobernada democráticamente por sus miembros quienes, a su vez, son propietarios de la tierra. Los ciudadanos árabe-israelíes son casi dos millones de personas que constituyen alrededor del 24 por ciento de la población del país. Este segmento se compone de árabes que decidieron quedarse en Israel luego de la Declaración de Independencia en 1948. En general, cuentan con los mismos derechos de cualquier ciudadano israelí. Sin embargo, como en cualquier otra sociedad, como minoría, sufren algún grado de discriminación y ciertas limitaciones en la compra de terrenos en determinadas áreas específicas de valor estratégico. La mayoría de los árabes israelíes son musulmanes sunitas, aunque también coexisten cristianos, drusos y circasianos. Con excepción de los circasianos y los drusos quienes han logrado altas posiciones en el gobierno y en las fuerzas armadas, los árabes israelíes en general no están obligados a servir en las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel, aunque muchos sirven como voluntarios. Entre ellos, se destacan los beduinos resultando ser unos magníficos soldados en defensa de su país. La mayor parte de los árabes israelíes viven en la zona noroccidental, principalmente en poblaciones donde administran sus asuntos internos, manejan sus escuelas y donde el árabe,- una de las lenguas oficiales de Israel, es el lenguaje utilizado. Controlan sus tribunales religiosos, dirimiendo asuntos relacionados con matrimonios y divorcios. Además, hablan, leen y escriben hebreo con fluidez y ven los programas de la televisión israelí. Más de un 20 por ciento de los árabes israelíes

cohabitan en las ciudades con sus conciudadanos judíos, destacándose el caso de Haifa, uno de las más importantes de Israel, ejemplo de coexistencia, donde frecuentan los mismos restaurantes, centros comerciales salas de cine y discotecas. Ahí se ha dado el caso de que una bomba terrorista detonada en un restaurante asesine tanto a árabes como a judíos. Muchos jóvenes árabes israelíes han adoptado las prácticas de los judíos israelíes seculares, como el uso de ropa al estilo occidental, el gusto por la música moderna y los avances tecnológicos. Todos los ciudadanos de Israel tienen el derecho a expresarse libremente y a participar activamente en el proceso político, hasta el punto que partidos que se oponen a la propia existencia de Israel son parte de su parlamento (Knesset). Los árabes israelíes han estado presentes en el Knesset desde la fundación del estado y ahí ocupan hoy 13 de los 120 escaños posibles tanto representando sus partidos como partidos clásicamente israelíes: Kadima (Majalli Whbee), Likud (Ayoob Kara) e Ysrael Beitenu (Hamad Ammar). Para mencionar algunos árabes israelíes destacados, cito a diplomáticos como Ali Yahya, embajador de Israel en Grecia; Ismail Khalid, cónsul general adjunto en San Francisco; Reda Mansour, cónsul general para el sureste de Estados Unidos; Salim Joubran, de la Corte Suprema; Majalli Whbee, ex viceministro de Relaciones Exteriores; Oscar Abu-Razek, director general del Ministerio del Interior; Raleb Majadele, Laborista, primer musulmán miembro del gabinete y Jamal Hakrush, musulmán, comandante de la Policía Nacional en el 2006. En el campo de la cultura y la academia, Israel se ufana de tener a Majd el-Haj, decano de investigación de la Universidad de Haifa; Rana Raslan, quien en 1999 se convirtió en la primera árabe israelí en ganar un concurso de Miss Israel y Khaled Abu Toameh, corresponsal de asuntos palestinos de el Jerusalem Post, US News and World Report. En el 2004, Bnei Sakhnin se convirtió en el primer equipo de fútbol árabe-israelí en ganar la Copa de Israel para tener derecho a la Copa de Europa. Asala Shahada, medalla de oro en los Juegos Macabeos al ganar dijo, “ Los Macabeos pertenecen no sólo a los Judíos, sino también a todos los israelíes, y estoy orgullosa de ser Israelí’’. La práctica demuestra que es posible la convivencia de ambos pueblos y que se logre un Oasis de Paz, eliminando la interferencia de los terroristas, enemigos de la felicidad de todos. Que D-os así lo quiera.

Don't Quit

Temple Beth Shmuel 1700 Michigan Avenue. Miami Beach. FL 33139

Cuban Hebrew Congregation of Miami, Inc.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow, Success is failure turned inside out-- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. - Edgar A. Guest
