“…V’higadetah l’vincha bayom
Hahu…” On that day, you shall tell
your child.
This is the command we receive in the Passover Haggadah, and it is reflective of our obligation to pass on the story of the Exodus on this night, the first night of the festival. Our tradition bids us retell the story
of our ancestors’ journey from slavery to freedom, so that we never take for granted our lot as a free people and that we never enslave another. The context for this retelling is, of course, the Seder, the ordered meal -adopted from Greek symposium-during which we share in story and song.
In creating the text for that meal, the Haggadah, the rabbis showed great sensitivity and foresight. This is evident in the text which tells us that the Torah speaks of or reflects upon four children (literally sons): One wise, one wicked, one simple, and one who does not know how to ask. Many commentators suggest that the four children reflect four different types of learners, each with his or her own approach to understanding and to the Jewish tradition. This is a wonderfully insightful way in which to think about the way in which we fulfill the command to “…tell your child.”
I believe that the message of the rabbis and commentators is a reminder that we are not all alike, and therefore there is no one way to hold a Seder, or rather, discussion at a Seder. Just as the same lecture, delivered once in a university lecture hall, and again in a Jr. High classroom would not sound identical, so, too, does the story of the Exodus need to be told in a different fashion depending on one’s audience, so to speak. It is remarkable to think that in the fifteenth century, when the first Haggadah was printed, the rabbis could already understand such subtleties. In this day and age when we are so attune to different modes of study, we can thoroughly appreciate their subtle reminder to tell our children the story in accordance with their age, prior knowledge of the story, and their attention spans.

Rabbi’s Message
2
President’s Messaget
Sometimes I have a writer’s
block in thinking about a
message. This month it wasn’t a
matter of a paucity of thought,
but rather too many possible
subjects. Do I write about Pesach
or Israel? How about wandering
for 40 years in the desert or the scattering of
Jews today? Then there was my own personal
journey to Judaism or Anti-Semitism. There
also were many opportunities to come
together as a BYBS community that I could
expound upon or remind everyone of the need
to be active in planning the future of our
community. How about realizing I will only be
writing a column for three more months?
Where has the time gone?
Now that I have filled up some space, I will
beg your indulgence to become a bit personal.
When I was growing up, in Grand Rapids and
Denver, this time of year was the time of
getting dressed up, ham dinners, singing in
church, hunting for eggs, family gatherings,
and much more. In Denver I went to St.
John’s Cathedral (Episcopalian) twice a week
for study for confirmation. I memorized the
proper words, repeated them when necessary,
was confirmed, took communion, received my
personal, white prayer book, and had no
desire to continue a religious education.
Sounds familiar doesn’t it?
After seventh grade my mother, stepfather
and I moved to Tulsa. I have no memory of
going to church there or much else of a
religious nature. Then we moved to Palatine
which at the time was a small, sort of rural,
mainly German community. Somewhere along
the line I almost became involved with a “Born
Again” Christian group, I suppose to belong to
a peer group, but I then began to question a
lot about religion as I knew it.

(Rabbi’s Message continued)
Another great layer to this text, comes from a rather amusing, tongue-in-cheek commentary written by American author Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler), and which appears in the New American Haggadah. Commenting upon the traditional text of the four children he writes: “Some scholars believe that there are four kinds of parents as well.
The Wise Parent is an utter bore. ‘Listen closely, because you are younger than I am,’ says the Wise Parent, ‘and I will go on and on about Jewish history, based on some foggy memories of my own religious upbringing, as well as an article in a Jewish journal I have recently skimmed.’ The Wise Parent must be faced with a small smile of dim interest.
The Wicked Parent tries to cram the story of our liberation into a set of narrow opinions about the world. ‘The Lord led us out of Egypt,’ the Wicked Parent says, ‘which is why I support a bloodthirsty foreign policy and am tired of certain types of people causing problems.’ The Wicked Parent should be told in a firm voice, ‘With a strong hand God rescued the Jews from bondage, but it was my own clumsy hand that spilled hot soup in your lap.’
The Simple Parent does not grasp the concept of freedom. ‘There will be no macaroons until you eat all of your brisket,’ says the Simple Parent, at a dinner honoring the liberation of oppressed peoples. ‘Also, stop slouching at the table.’ In answer to such statements, the Wise Child will roll his eyes in the
direction of the ceiling and declare, ‘Let my people go!’ The Parent Who Is Unable to Inquire has had too much wine, and should be excused from the table.” What a fantastic modern twist Snicket offers us! And an important reminder that while the mitzvah of the Seder is to “…tell your child,” the Seder is about retelling the story of the Exodus for us to hear as well. And
remembering that children learn best when we model for them, if we are unable to engage with the text, to take up discussions about how our story reflects present-day slavery, and affects our view and ability to do something about it, then maybe we’ve missed the point. In this commentary, Snicket reminds us to ensure that the Seder isn’t just another family dinner, and that it isn’t just another Jewish ritual, performed half-heartedly because…it’s tradition.
As we prepare to celebrate Passover this year, I wish you a
meaningful, insightful, and discussion-filled Seder! Chag Same’ach!

Beit AmiChai had a wonderful Purim
celebration. Our Purim carnival was a great
morning with many families joining us from the
Congregations in Munster. A huge thank you to
Tommie Gbur and Deb Feingold for all their
hard work to make the carnival a success. And
thank you to all our middle school and high school
students who worked the booths, we couldn't have
done it without you! Purim didn't end after the
carnival though as we had an amazing Megillah
reading and Cantata on the night of Purim. All of our
students did a wonderful job, it was such a joyous
evening! Thank you to Jody Markus, Leslie and
Mandy Sigale for working so hard with kids on the
Cantata.
On Friday, March 20th, the 3rd/4th grade Hebrew
School had their final Jr. Congregation of the school
year. The Youth Choir also sang at services.
Spring/Passover Break is from April 2nd through
April 9th. Sunday School and High School Havurah
will resume on April 12th.
Have a wonderful Passover, Chag Sameach!

President’s message from page 2
On to college at the University of Missouri in
1956 and a Comparative Religion course that
really started me on my road to Judaism. It
was before Jerry. You mean you can question
and have choices in Judaism? My
interpretation was that it was what you did
here on earth rather than what would get you
to heaven or hell that counted. That fit in with
my personal beliefs.
Oh, I still went to church in Chicago where
Mother had moved and sang in the choir, but I
knew that was not a road I wanted to continue
walking down.
There is a lot more of course, and I still have
much to learn, but I know I am on the right
road. The difference between when I was
growing up and now is I have chosen this road.
It was not chosen for me.
I was told that when I converted to Judaism
that I acquired the history of a people and
should always remember that I, too, was a
stranger in Egypt and walked that long road to
freedom. We are still on that road. Hopefully
the road to freedom also is the road to peace.

Thank you! Donelle, Gae and David would like to thank all of you who attended our B'nai Mitzvah. We appreciate the support we received from our congregational family. It was quite a journey. We'd also like to thank everyone who participated in the service. A big thanks to Jim, the Klezmedics and the choir for enhancing the service with their beautiful music and to Larry Burrows for the incredible pictures. Thank you for the incredible gifts. The new High Holiday prayer books will be a reminder of our special day. The leaf for the tree of life is a lasting symbol of our commitment to both Judaism and our Jewish community. Please remember our mitzvah project for the Calumet Area Humane Society. There is a basket in the foyer and an envelope in the office. It was an incredible day and truly a once in a life time experience. We now know that it is possible to teach old dogs new tricks. Thanks again to all of you who helped to make it so special.

What’s Up with Sisterhood? We had an enjoyable Sunday afternoon learning (or brushing up) on our mah jongg skills. A big thank you to
Lynne Turry, president of WRJ Midwest District for her informative mah jongg PowerPoint. A delicious lunch
of soups and salad was prepared by our members. A good time was had by all. If anyone has not ordered a
mahj card for 2015, there is still time to order from our gift shop. Check the flyer in this bulletin. We will have
tables for mah jongg, so keep watching for news on this.
Our fifth annual community second Seder will take place Saturday, April 4. Our own Sisterhood members
shopped and prepared a delicious Seder meal. The Haggadah we will use was written by Sisterhood and
revised this year.
Mark your calendars! We will celebrate Sisterhood Shabbat on Saturday, April 18. We will begin with a
Shabbat morning service, lunch and Israeli dancing. If you would like to participate, please contact Carole
Fefferman.
This year WRJ Midwest District Sisterhood Kallah will be held at OSRUI on May 1-3. The theme this year is
The Art of Being Jewish. The fun begins on Friday afternoon with challah braiding, flower arranging and
drama. There will be workshops on quilting, cooking, all types of needlework, photography and drama and
storytelling. If you would like to attend, just let me know and I will forward the registration form.
