FROM THE RABBI AND THE PRESIDENT

In asking us to ponder from where we came and to where we are going, our sages remind us to be humble and to take ownership of our actions.

What were our founders considering one hundred years ago? In 1919, The Emanuel of today was an idea formulated by several Jewish leaders in Hartford seeking to establish a congregation that would lend a modern interpretation to religious tradition and observance — Connecticut’s first Conservative synagogue. The Jewish Theological Seminary had been founded in 1886, the Rabbinical Assembly had been founded in 1901, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism was organized in 1913, and the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism (Sisterhood) was formed in 1918. The Conservative movement aimed to both “conserve” traditional Eu-ropean-style Judaic ritual and practice and adjust to life in America, which was experiencing a boom in Jewish immigration. Two years later, in 1921, an act of the Connecticut legis-lature incorporated The Emanuel Synagogue in Hartford, Connecticut, “for the purpose[s] of establishing and maintaining a place of public worship” and “maintaining a cemetery.” We look forward to the publication of a Centennial Tribute Book in May which will narrate Emanuel’s history. In that spirit, we devote this column to sharing some sig-nificant events that lend historical context to the time of The Emanuel’s founding:

• In 1912, Henrietta Szold founded Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America.

• In 1915, a German Jewish immigrant, Moses Alexander, was elected the governor of Idaho.

• Louis D. Brandeis was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

• In 1917, the Jewish Publication Society of America published a Bible in English.

• In 1917, Rabbi Morris Silverman was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.

• In Russia, the Pale of Settlement is dissolved in 1917, and Jews gain equal rights. But civil war ensues and tens of thousands of Jews die and many more are homeless following over 2,000 pogroms.

• In response to the United States entering World War I in 1917, the National Jewish Welfare Board was formed to address the social and religious needs of American Jews serving in the armed forces. Following the war, the organization expanded to address community needs.

• The Balfour Declaration, which advocated for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, was issued by the British government in 1917. During the following year, the first American Jewish Congress met with the objective of persuading world leaders to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

• In 1919, Sophie Tucker, a star of the New York stage and a popular recording artist (later a member of the Emanuel), was dubbed “Last of the Red Hot Mamas.”

• On January 16, 1919, the prohibition of the sale of alcohol went into effect after the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified.

• On June 4, 1919, Congress approved the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution which granted women the right to vote (the amendment was ratified by the states one year later).

• In 1919, the first meeting of the Zionist General Council takes place.

• In 1919, the Paris Peace Conference includes Zionist representatives advocating for a Jewish National Home. On June 28, 1919, The Treaty of Versailles which ended World War I was signed.

• The Travelers Tower, a 24-story skyscraper was constructed in 1919 and was the seventh tallest building in the world at the time.

In our next column and at this year’s Annual Meeting, we plan to share a vision for The Emanuel’s future.

As my retirement

from The Emanuel draws near, I decided to write a series of short memories in this column. I hope you enjoy.

Although I was born in Kansas City, Missouri, my childhood and adolescent home was Louisville, Kentucky. That was the fifth city my parents called home in their first 11 years of marriage. My father was a buyer for a shoe company that thought nothing of moving him and his young family from one midwestern and southern city to another to manage its leased shoe departments. Fortunately, the move to Louisville stuck — with the exception of a two-month foray to Greenville, Mississippi. But that’s a story for another time. People here on the east coast often ask, “Are there Jews in Kentucky?” Back in the 1960s and ’70s we had quite a vibrant Jewish community in Louisville, with five synagogues ranging from Orthodox to Reform, a Jewish day school, and a JCC that

NOTES FROM THE CANTORTHE JOuRNEY…SO FAR (PART I)by Hazzan Sanford Cohn

served as my home away from home in those formative years. My family belonged to a Reform temple where we attended Friday night services together regularly. I don’t remember exactly when I joined the Children’s Choir. I know that by the age of 10, you could see me with my fellow choristers, in our light blue frocks and white collars, marching down the aisle of the sanctuary singing “Come, O Sabbath Day” or some other opening hymn to begin the service — accompanied by the ever-present organ. Thus began my lifelong connection with Jewish music. That year, 1964, when I was age 10, was significant in my musical development in so many ways. That was the year I tried to copy my older brother in learning to play guitar by ear and from friends. My hands, however, were still too small to handle the guitar properly, so I switched to ukulele. My brother and I spent hours playing and harmonizing songs by The Beatles, Peter, Paul and Mary and others. My dad, forever the crooner, joined in on his favorite, The Brothers Four’s “Greenfields.” 1964 was also the year “Fiddler on the Roof” opened on Broadway.

I am not sure I can explain why that original cast album touched me so deeply. I had already developed an appreciation for show music from my dad, but the glimpse into shtetl life and Eastern European Jewish musical motifs struck a chord in me that still resonates with me. My musical experiences expanded in several directions throughout my adolescence. I always sang in school choruses during junior high and high school. I had some very talented and influential conductors and teachers in those days. They developed my appreciation for all types of choral and classical music. By age 11, I was bitten by the theater bug and appeared in a community theater production of “Gypsy.” The highlight of my dramatic career was landing the lead in a high school production of “The Fantasticks.” From the age of 13, I began to perform in talent shows and for friends, playing guitar (my hands were now big enough) and singing folk music and popular songs. These are the roots of my life of music. In my next installment, I will relate my experiences in university and what led me to enroll in cantorial school.

As we celebrate The Emanuel’s 100th anniversary, we are busy

considering our many options for our future. I am sure we all agree attract-ing and retaining members is key to our synagogue’s sustainability. I am frequently asked for the best ways to promote our synagogue in or-der to attract new people as well as to re-engage current members. There is no simple answer. The truth is the way people receive information in today’s world is rapidly evolving. To continue to be effective, we must keep chang-ing The Emanuel’s outreach. The temptation to evaluate outreach success by how many show up for an event or program is inaccu-rate. Good promotion is important, however there are so many independent variables that may impact actual atten-dance. For example there may have been interest in the topic but not the speaker… or the time was inconvenient… or people got lost on the way… or there was a competing event somewhere else, etc. Good promotion should “make the phone ring” (or the email inbox “ding”), but it will not ensure a good show rate. After a committee has done its research on the opti-mum time, speaker and potential competition, how can we know if we are doing everything possible to get the right message out to attract our target audience?

Here are three suggestions:1) Think like the new person we want to attract Even if we are the same age and demographic, we are already here, so we are coming from a different experience and perspective than someone brand new to us. Even a current member new to a program may be uncertain where to go, unsure about trying something new, and therefore may avoid giving it a try. New people may be hesitant to reach out and ask questions (no matter how warm and wel-coming we are) and opt for other choices that are familiar and comfortable. In fact, people may wander to that “other place down the street” because they could not find us, even though we thought we were imparting the proper information.

True Story: Recently, I helped a friend evaluate her outreach for her business in Glastonbury, called “Empowered Indoor Cycling Studio.” People looking for such a place usually search within a 3-5 mile radius, so it was odd the second highest amount of traffic to her website was actually coming from New Haven. Was this an error in Google Analytics? No. Surprisingly, there was a studio in New Haven called “MPWR Fitness,” and my friend was actually seeing a significant amount of people checking out her “Empowered” website by mistake!

FIRST…WE MuST ATTRACT

by Joyce Hyde, Executive Director

What was the likelihood those potential “MPWR” clients at the “Empowered” site would take the time to find the New Haven studio, or maybe after seeing the Glastonbury address figured they were in the right place? Or perhaps they would think, “wow, I did not know they had cycling, I will be sure to tell my friend who lives there to check it out.” Either way, my friend was benefiting due to nothing more than another business’ spelling choice, while MMPR fitness had unknowingly created a barrier to themselves.

Suggestion: Whether posting on Facebook, making a flyer, cre-ating electronic communication, or even talking up a program, it is advisable to put the critical WHO, WHAT, WHERE and WHY CLEARLY upfront without trying to be “clever” and risk being misleading. For “WHY,” provide a one-line benefit people will gain from attending.

2) Go where THEY are & FAST According to Facebook, “The key to modern marketing is reaching people up close and personal where they’re al-ready spending their time,” and today’s market lives, breathes and searches for information predominantly on a mobile phone. As this trend continues, successful outreach must consider the viewability of messages on a tiny vertical screen — a viewer may not take the time to scroll down to the end! Videos need to be shorter — 60-90 seconds used to be the norm, but today’s research advises video “should be no more than 15 seconds, with the main message delivered within in the first 3-5 seconds” or risk getting lost. Successful outreach today depends on good visual storytelling (through pictures and video) and less on words. Attention spans are short, so critical information along with eye-catching visuals delivered in 3-5 seconds of viewing is ideal, even if someone is reading a flyer. Save ad-ditional information that may risk detracting from the main message to being accessed another way (link or a phone number for more information, a pamphlet with details, etc.).

Suggestion: Consider ALL the places our audience IS, and how they may SEARCH for what The Emanuel offers. In today’s short attention span culture, communication cannot rely on just one method; multiple channels must be used if we want to be heard. Does our prospective member come to other events that we may cross-promote? Would they visit a website? Use social media? Do they search the internet? Would they pick up a flyer? Would they come if their friends called them and said they were going, too?

3) Test Your Theory In our mobile-first era, content is consumed differently and is evolving rapidly. It used to be finding the right “key-word or keywords” was all one needed to drive awareness and a high ranking on internet search engines. Yet, this has become less reliable over time as now thousands of variations may result with a diverse range of intent. For example, the word “Conservative” could be interpreted as a

5

political point of view as well as a denomination of Judaism; if we just rely on the term “Conservative Synagogue” to solely describe ourselves, we may risk diluting our reach. Continual testing and re-testing of what will work best is essential to remaining relevant in the internet world.

Suggestion: While there are many analytic tools, it still holds true that in electronic marketing, higher search results, COMBINED with a high rank helps guide a successful attraction-based campaign. Try it yourself on your favorite search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) with some short key phrases you think best describe your pro-gram and see which brings the highest volume of results AND the highest rank for your program. Keep in mind results can vary based on many factors (time of day of

search, etc.), so the goal is to look for big numbers to help make good choices. How would someone search for a synagogue in West Hartford? Images (to the left) are a Google search using the following key phrases: A) Conservative West Hartford Synagogue, B) West Hartford Synagogue, C) Jewish West Hartford. On Jan. 28, 2019, The Emanuel was the top response when searching by “A” or “B” phrase, but the TOTAL results (circled) were very low in comparison to “C” in which The Emanuel ranked #18, and was relegated to the second page (behind Beth David, Young Israel, JCC, Chabad and others). The concern here is that someone us-ing what is evidenced to be a common search term for what the Emanuel offers may not spend the time to look for us on page two after seeing the options on page one! While these results can vary (i.e., I only got 4.5 million results for “C” during another search), it is important to keep in mind what these things tell us- one would think “Conservative Synagogue in West Hartford” would be enough to find us — but clearly, highlighting our “Jewishness” to show we are an integral part of “Jewish West Hartford” is beneficial. AND…by the time you read this, I will have done just that — so make sure you retest my theory to see if it made a difference.

The Torah prohibits the ownership of hametz (leaven) during Pesah. Therefore, we arrange for the sale of the hametz to a non-Jew. The transfer, mekhirat hametz, is ac-complished by appointing an agent, usually the rabbi, to handle the sale. It is valid and legal transfer of ownership. At the end of the holiday, the agent arranges for the rever-sion of ownership of the now-permitted hametz. If owner-ship of the hametz was not transferred before the holiday, the use of this hametz is prohibited after the holiday as well (hametz she-avar alav ha-Pesah). Since the Torah prohibits the eating of hametz during Pesah, and since many common foods contain some admix-ture of hametz, guidance is necessary when shopping and preparing for Pesah. During the eight days of Pesah, hametz cannot lose its identity in an admixture. Therefore, the minutest amount of hametz renders the whole admixture hametz and its use on Pesah is prohibited. However, during the rest of the year, hametz follows the normal rules of admixture, i.e., it loses its identity in an admixture of one part hametz and sixty parts of non-hametz (batel be-shishim). This affords us the opportunity to differentiate between foods purchased before and during Pesah. What follows is a general guideline. However, your rabbi should be consulted when any doubt arises. 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 Prohibited foods include the following: leavened bread, cakes, biscuits, crackers, cereal, coffees containing cereal derivatives, wheat, barley, oats, spelt, rye, and all liquids containing ingredients or flavors made from grain alcohol. In the past, most Ashkenazic authorities have added the following foods (kitniyot) to the above list: rice, corn, millet, legumes (beans and peas; however, string beans are permitted). The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards has ruled unanimously that peanuts and peanut oil are permissible. 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. Rabbi Small permits the use of legumes on Passover and advises hosts to be sensitive to the customs of their family and guests.

PERMITTED FOODSA. The following foods require no kosher le-Pesah label if purchased prior to Pesah: unopened packages or contain-ers of natural coffee without cereal additives (However, be aware that coffees produced by General Foods are not ko-

sher for Passover unless marked KP); sugar, pure tea (not herbal tea); salt (not iodized); pepper; natural spices; frozen fruit juices with no additives; frozen (uncooked) vegetables (for legumes see above); milk; butter; cottage cheese; cream cheese; ripened cheeses such as cheddar (hard), muenster (semi-soft) and Camembert (soft); frozen (uncooked) fruit (with no additives); baking soda.

B. The following foods require no kosher le-Pesah label if purchased before or during Pesah: Fresh fruits and vegeta-bles (for legumes see above), eggs, fresh fish and fresh meat.

C. The following foods require a kosher le-Pesah label if pur-chased before or during Pesah: All baked products (matzah, cakes, matzah flour, farfel, matzah meal, and any products containing matzah); 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; canned tuna (since tuna, even when packed in water, has often been processed in vegetable broth and/or hydrolyzed protein-however, if it is known that the tuna is packed exclusively in water, without any addition-al ingredients or additives, it may be purchased without a kosher le-Pesah label); wine; vinegar; liquor; oils; dried fruits; candy; chocolate flavored milk; ice cream; yogurt and soda.

D. The following processed foods (canned, bottled or frozen), require a kosher le-Pesah label if purchased during Pesah: milk, butter, juices, vegetables, fruit, milk products, spices, coffee, tea, and fish, as well as all foods listed in Category C.

DETERGENTS: If permitted during the year, powdered and liquid detergents do not require a kosher le-Pesah label.

MEDICINE: Since hametz binders are used in many pills, the following guidelines should be followed: If the medi-cine is required for life sustaining therapy, it may be used on Pesah. If it is not for life sustaining therapy, some au-thorities permit, while others prohibit. Consult your rabbi. In all cases, capsules are preferable to pills.

DISHES AND UTENSILS Kashering of Utensils: The process of kashering uten-sils depends on how the utensils are used. According to halakhah, leaven can be purged from a utensil by the same process in which it was absorbed in the utensil (ke-voleo kakh poleto). Therefore, utensils used in cooking are kash-ered by boiling, those used in broiling are kashered by fire and heat, and those used only for cold food are kashered by rinsing.

SEllINg HAMETz

The Torah instructs that in observing Pesach all leaven must be removed from one’s home or destroyed. To protect against excessive waste and financial hardship, the Rabbis permit the individual to sell hametz to a non-Jew until Passover is com-plete. It is traditional at that time to make a contribution to the Maot Hittim, the Passover Fund, which helps needy Jews purchase the necessities to celebrate Pesach and helps other hungry and disadvantaged people.

The transfer of agency to Rabbi David J. Small may be done in person, but if this is impossible, please mail or bring in the following declaration to The Emanuel Synagogue office by Thursday, April 18, 2019 at 1:00 p.m.

Thank you for supporting our efforts to feed the hungry!

A. 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.B. Metal (wholly made of metal) 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 have water boiled in them which will overflow the rim. The utensils should not be used for a period of at least 24 hours between cleaning and the immersions of boiling water. Metal baking utensils cannot be kashered. C. Ovens and Ranges: 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 scrubbed and cleaned and then put through the self-cleaning cycle. Continuous ovens must be kashered the same way as regular ovens. Microwave Ovens, which do not cook the food by means of heat, should be cleaned, and then a cup of water should be placed inside. Then the oven should be turned on until the water disappears. A microwave oven that has a browning element cannot be kashered for Pesach.

D. Glassware: 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 opinions requires only a thorough scrubbing before Pesach, or putting them through a dishwasher. E. Dishwasher: After not using the machine for a period of 24 hours, a full cycle with detergent should be run. F. Electrical Appliances: 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). If the parts are not removable, the appliance can-not be kashered. (All exposed parts should be thoroughly cleaned.) G. Tables, Closets and Counters: If used with hametz, they should be thoroughly cleaned and covered, and then they may be used. H. Kitchen Sink: A metal sink can be kashered by thor-oughly 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. I. Hametz and Non-Passover Utensils: Non-Passover dishes, pots and hametz whose ownership has been trans-ferred, should be separated, locked up or covered, and marked in order to prevent accidental use.

At the beginning of the school year I spoke to the Religious School

families about the idea of L’dor V’dor--from generation to generation. What we do every day here in the education department of our shul is try to keep our kids engaged in Judaism in ways that connect our past to our future. We teach families about the traditions of holidays, like Tu B’Shevat and Pesach and Chanukah. We teach our kids about the history of our people. We teach the Hebrew language — the lashon kodesh.

Sisterhood has funded various synagogue projects such as helping to purchase new pots and pans for the kitchen and contributing to the Emanuel Synagogue Centennial. When you support one of our many events, you are in turn allowing us to fund synagogue projects and repairs.

ENDOWMENT FuNDS uPDATE

by Mickey Libbin

The merger of Beth Hillel Synagogue with The Emanuel Synagogue not only has invigorated our membership with new, active members,

but also has increased our Special Purpose Endowment Funds. We are in the process of reviewing all of The Emanuel and former Beth Hillel Endowment Funds in order to determine where they should be held and which can be combined, as well as reviewing the spending and disbursement authority for all of our funds. Thus far, all former Beth Hillel funds have been renamed to include “Beth Hillel” as part of the fund’s name. In addition we have consolidated the Emanuel Synagogue Adult Education Fund with the Beth Hillel Rabbi Lazowski Adult Education Fund and renamed it the Beth Hillel/Emanuel Synagogue Rabbi Lazowski Adult Education Fund, as well as combining The Emanuel Synagogue Prayer Book Fund with the corresponding Beth Hillel fund and renaming it The Emanuel/Beth Hillel Synagogue Prayer Book Fund. Given that the former Beth Hillel funds were invested at the Jewish Community Foundation whereas most of The Emanuel’s endowment funds are invested at Schwab and managed by Fierston Financial Group, Inc., we have continued to maintain funds with each of those entities. However, we have made the following changes:

1. The Beth Hillel Kiyum Fund was moved from the Foundation to Schwab to be with other Emanuel Endowment Funds;

2. The Emanuel Synagogue Prayer Book Fund was moved to the Foundation and, as noted above, consolidated with the corresponding Beth Hillel fund;

3. The Emanuel Synagogue Adult Education Fund was moved to the Foundation and, as noted above, consolidated with the Beth Hillel Rabbi Lazowski Adult Education Fund.

4. The Emanuel Synagogue Library Fund was moved to the Foundation.

The Board of Trustees, Endowment Investment Committee and Finance Committee continue to review all of our funds for opportunities to consolidate funds, where appropriate, document their purposes and spending authority, and monitor their performance. If you have any questions about any of The Emanuel Synagogue or former Beth Hillel funds, or if you are interested in establishing a new fund, please contact Naomi Baline Kleinman, Endowment Committee Chair, at (860) 236-1275.
