President’s Message by Barry BobrowJewish SpiritualitySome of you may recall the Bill Cosby comedy routine from the 1970’s, in which he gives his impression of a conversation between Noah and God. “NOAH” booms Cosby’s impression of God. “RIIGGHHTT - WHAT DO YOU WANT – I’VE BEEN GOOD” responds Noah. “I

WANT YOU TO BUILD ME AN ARK” demands the booming voice. “RIIGGHHTT – WHAT’S AN ARK?” asks Noah.

And so the conversation goes on between God and Noah, until at last Noah agrees to build the ark and save humanity. What makes the story so funny is the way Cosby imagines a discussion with God in such a human way, complete with God even momentarily forgetting the size of a cubit. Despite the fact that the dialogue is between a man and the supreme being, there is nothing particularly spiritual about the conversation. At times it even feels like God has to get a little heavy handed in order to get what he wants.

I was reflecting on that funny exchange from long ago when Rabbi Larry Hoffman came to Temple Israel last month to talk to us about synagogue renewal. In his discussions he made the point that Jews don’t have the same way of discussing spirituality as many people of other faiths. Many non-Jews speak openly of their personal relationship with God. When Rabbi Hoffman asked a group of people gathered at my house whether they ever had direct dialogue with God, none reported that they had. Then he asked whether anyone present had ever had a profound experience in their life that they could not easily explain without considering the possibility of a divine presence? Many in the room answered that they had, and several shared their experiences. While the stories varied widely, all of them had clearly had a profound impact on the person relating the story, and had given purpose and meaning to their life in a unique and unexpected way. What ensued was a discussion of spirituality from a Jewish perspective. By the end of the evening everyone in the room felt like they had shared something important with their fellow Temple Israel members, and had a positive and spiritual experience in the process.

Rabbi Hoffman’s visit was filled with discussions of how to make our temple more vital, relevant and spiritual in the lives of our members. He referred to Judaism as a 2,000 year running conversation and urged us all to engage in that conversation as a means of transforming our synagogue to meet the needs of the next generation. Rabbi Hoffman taught us that while we don’t always openly discuss spirituality, all of us are seeking meaning and purpose in our lives, and that spiritual experiences and discussions are a way that we can achieve these goals. I learned that creating an environment where spirituality can be nurtured is one of the keys to helping our synagogue thrive and grow in the future. It is critical that we help people understand their own profound experiences, and build a community based on the types of relationships that can come from sharing them with others.

Jewish spirituality turns out to be very different than Bill Cosby’s depiction of God and Noah saving the world. Following Rabbi Hoffman’s vision, we don’t need to hear from God directly in order to have a spiritual experience. I sincerely want Temple Israel to be a place where we can find meaning and relevance in our lives, and that membership at Temple Israel means something very important to all of us because of those experiences.

Youth happeningsat Temple Israel

Mazel tov to our B’nai MitzvahBy Rabbi Tracy G. Klirs, Education Director

Purim Celebrations - On Sunday, Feb. 24th, TIRS students enjoyed fun, hands-on Purim activities in the classrooms. The Zayin (7th grade) families ran a “Mishloach Manot assembly line” for the younger grades, and then delivered the completed baskets to over 60 Jewish seniors.

Sisterhood provided all the supplies, and Jewish Family Services and the JCC provided the names and addresses of the seniors.

After the festivities in the school, families joined their children at the Temple for a Purim Shpiel conceived by the Gimmel-Vav classes. Each class dramatized one or two chapters of the Megillah with wacky themes - Greasers, Teletubbies, M&M’s, Sports, Texting, etc. Temple Israel provided hamantaschen for all.

Shabbat Attendance Recognition The TIRS Advisory Committee launched a new program to encourage better student attendance on Shabbat. We’ve established 3 recognition levels – 6-11 services is the B’reisheet (beginning) level, 12-17 services is the Shabbat level, and 18 or more services is the Chai level. A board listing the names of students in each level is on display outside the chapel on Shabbat. In addition, the Shabbat attendance for all TIRS students is posted in the TIRS building. As of the beginning of February, over 70 students had made it to the B’reisheet level, and over a dozen made it to the Shabbat level. Anyone who reaches the Chai level (18 is the required minimum number of services 3rd-7th graders are required to attend) will be honored on the bimah on a Shabbat morning, and presented with a specially-designed “Chai” lapel pin by Rabbi Ezring.

Cantor’s Column

The Passover Kosher Wine Sale from The Mens Club is not happening this year due to problems with our supplier. We are looking at new sources for delicious kosher Passover wine for next year. To meet your festival needs, kosher Passover wines are available at Gleibermans, Trader Joe’s, Total Wine & More, Vintner’s Wine Market, Harris Teeter, kosherwine.com, and other area locations. We apologize for any inconvenience and we encourage you to “Save the Golan.”

Why We Love Our Choir By: Cantor Elias Roochvarg

On the Festivals, while the congregation sings the melodies of the Hallel and Torah service, the Choir sings lovely harmonies. And on the High Holidays, the Choir adds great choral masterpieces, adding another inspiring dimension of expression to our services. Many people come forward each year after High Holidays to say how much the Choir’s participation enhanced their prayer experience.

In order to do its job, the Choir needs at least 2 or 3 people on each voice part (i.e., sopranos, altos, tenors and basses) for the best blend. We are now in dire need of sopranos and serious need of tenors and basses.

Choir Notes

Though reading music is a desirable skill, it is not required.

As with reading music, the ability to read Hebrew is not required.

The Choir sings one day of each of the 3 major Festivals, plus Yom Kippur, & the 1st day of Rosh Hashanah, or a total of 5 days throughout the year, plus Thursday night rehearsals. So if you like to sing, and are willing to make the modest time commitment, and especially if you’re a soprano, please contact the Cantor or Monty Bennett at 704-362-2796.

You will always be remembered for the things that you did here. Thanks for your

42 years of hard work and dedication. Congratulations on your retirement on March 31st!

Wishing you all the best fromyour Temple Israel Family

We Plan, God Laughs: What to Do when Life Hits You Over the Head By Sherre Hirsch

“The old Yiddish proverb, ‘We plan, God Laughs,’ expresses a truth everyone can relate to. At every stage of life we make plans, setting out where we want to go and imagining what we will be like when we have ‘arrived.’ But things have a way of turning out not quite as we hoped or expected. In We Plan, God Laughs….Sherre Hirsch argues that too often our plans are limited to ones we think up at bedtime, or are devised by our parents, or by what looks good on a resume. Addressing serious spiritual issues, Hirsch takes readers through ten basic steps for formulating a plan that reflects who we are now and who we want to be – a plan that is alive, organic, and in sync with God.”

This intriguing description of Sherre Hirsch’s book is sure to motivate us to read the book, attend the Women’s Division Spring Lecture on March 14, where she will be the featured speaker, and then participate in the March 21 Temple Israel book club discussion.

We Plan, God Laughs ….. offers 10 steps to self-improvement and spiritual health. Drawing on such familiar figures from the Bible as Jacob and Esau, Hirsch (a Rabbi), she demonstrates how to forget past hurts and fears in order to become present in the here and now. The noted Rabbi Harold Kushner says it is “an uplifting book. Where there is despair, Rabbi Hirsch offers hope, and where there is confusion, she shows us the path to clarity.”

In these challenging times we could all use a little spiritual self help! Attend the March 14 spring lecture with Rabbi Hirsch, read We Plan, God Laughs…. And discuss it at the March 21 book club meeting at Temple Israel.

We Plan, God Laughs: What to Do When Life Hits You Over the Head is available at the Levine-Sklut Judaic Library, the public library and at book stores or on-line for less than $15.

All Temple Israel book club meetings, including the March 21 discussion, are open to the entire community. “Drop-ins” are welcome, even those who haven’t read the book. For additional information contact Linda Levy at 704/366-6362 or [email protected].
