raBBi’S meSSage

Let my people go that they may serve Me! This was the spectacular and startling demand Moses and Aaron relayed to Pharaoh in his gold-pillared court.

Israel’s leaders were pleading for two prerogatives without which human existence is incomplete: unalloyed freedom and the right of uninhibited worship. They were the avant-garde for the subsequent statement in Leviticus of the doctrine inscribed on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia: “proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”

Pharaoh listened in incredulous amazement. Such a demand had never before been recorded in human history. The degenerate priestly hierarchy, bending the knee to Apis—bull, Ibis—cat, and other deities, were equally confounded. For them and Pharaoh, humanity consisted of rulers and serfs, of masters and slaves, and the cleavage could never be sundered. To accord human rights to slaves was unthinkable.

But the unthinkable was achieved. Freedom was wrested from the most powerful despotism of antiquity, in the shadows of the pyramids. “Who is this Lord whose voice I am to obey, to let Israel go?” was Pharaoh’s arrogant reply. Then and there the issue of human freedom matured. At that

moment the tortuous struggle began for emancipation, waged in every century of history. The poet Heinrich Heine astutely observed, “since the Exodus, freedom has always spoken with a Hebrew accent.”

Our world must recapture the meaning and the challenge of the first Passover, more than three millennia ago. Today we witness many Pharaohs in Asia and the Middle East, who seek to impose their religious, economic, and educational strictures upon oppressed peoples. Yet we have trouble understanding the way to respond to these modern authoritarianisms. Totalitarianism and its byproduct, religious

fundamentalism, as Hannah Arendt observed, must be overcome, if people are to live with dignity and freedom. As we celebrate our Passover Seders this month, remember to consider the “others” in our world who do not enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted in America.

One other crucial springtime note for all our congregation: we will dedicate our new building on Sunday, May 31st at noon. I hope all of us will be attending this wonderful milestone in the life of Beit Tikva. This is our “chanukat ha-bayit,” the dedication of our new wing, which comprises the Rabbi Helman

Library, an expanded kitchen, Rabbi’s study, and administrative offices. We have so much to celebrate, and to give thanks to all who have given so much in order to make this addition possible. Please mark your calendars for May 31st! My warm wishes to everyone for a sweet and healthy Pesach.

B’shalom,

PreSident’S meSSage

moving into Spring and our new Building expansion

Let me make this clear: I’m retired! Perhaps I don’t know what that means. After all

looking at my schedule since Barbara and I spent a week with our grandchildren in Sparks, NV from March 11th through the 18th is incredibly hectic. Today is Friday March 20th. I will happily spend this evening as the board member opener & closer for Shabbat services. I get to wear my “GREETER” badge. I should pledge to get rid of these badges. You know the badges from which I speak. You know, the “we don’t need no stinking badges” variety. Not that we’ll get rid of such ID things completely. Just a more hip variety. We’ll see.

Moving on. Permit me to outline the month of April. Barbara and I lived for many years in Little Rock, AR. We spent many Seders there. When Seder was at our home we used the Haggadah I edited and have now used more than 30 years. When at my friend Harvey’s home he was hooked on the Manischewitz version. So be it. Harvey had the chutzpah to contract terminal stomach cancer several years ago. We still return for 1st Seder as best we can to be with his wife and our friend Elaine and their children and grandchildren. Back to Beit Tikva for 2nd Seder.

Our monthly board meeting is Monday, April 13th. You’re invited to come. We’ll be in the Library.

April 19th is Yom HaAtzmaut – Israel Independence Day. This year we are participating in a community wide celebration: CBT along with Temple Beth Shalom, Ha MaKom, Jewish Federation of New Mexico, Santa Fe Hadassah, New Mexico Jewish Historical Society, ADL and Jewish Film Festival have joined together.

Many of you had the opportunity last year to meet my sister, Rachel Dunaief, brother-in-law Josh and our nephews Benji and Michael during Seder. We will be traveling to Philadelphia from April 23rd to the 27th when she is being honored by her temple sisterhood.

But wait, there’s more. First two weeks in May river cruising in Holland and Belgium. Third week in May visit to our daughter, Julie, in Los Angeles. Barbara will be taking corset tying lessons in preparation for Julie’s wedding in September.

Last day in May we, you and us, will all be together to dedicate our new wing.

Sorry this letter is short. I’m tired. Pre-teens will do that to you.

At Congregation Beit Tikva’s January, 2015 Board Meeting, Doris Francis, Chair of the

Cemetery Committee of the Jewish Community Council of Northern New Mexico (JCCNNM), presented a report on her Committee’s efforts to maintain and improve the Jewish section at Memorial Gardens Cemetery. The following is a summary of Doris’ report to the Board.

In the Jewish tradition, securing a place for burial is the first thing a community must do even before creating a synagogue or a religious school.

In Judaism, burial of the dead is deemed a religious commandment, one that takes precedence even over the study of Torah.

Congregation Beit Tikva members Gail Rapoport and Ralph Thaler were among the original founders of the dedicated Jewish section at Rivera Family Funerals and Memorial Gardens Cemetery on Rodeo Road. Beit Tikva thus has a long association with this cemetery: our beloved Rabbi Hellman and many of our fellow congregants are buried here or own plots. In 1996, a beautiful stone wall marking the original Jewish area was constructed, donated by the Gould Family in memory of founding member Alan Gould.

Rivera Family Funeral Options is the only family-owned funeral home in New Mexico. They are members of the Jewish Funeral Director’s Union.

Some of the benefits of this established cemetery include: fully-funded perpetual care, full-time security provisions, professional

landscaping and an irrigation system with ample water rights and supply, pest control, and liability insurance. The non-denominational chapel now under construction includes a space designed for Taharah, the traditional ritual preparing the Jewish deceased for a dignified burial.

Plots can be purchased for $2,970, which includes a donation of $270 that goes to the JCCNNM in aid of indigent burial, as well as cemetery upkeep and improvement. This price will be extended until sometime in 2015.

Last year, the JCCNNM Cemetery Committee was successful in more than tripling the amount of land for Jewish burial. A total of 180 gravesites are available for purchase, plus

another 180 promised in an adjoining area not yet under construction. These graves can be dug to double depth, thereby increasing the amount of space available while costing less than two separate plots.

The rules for burial permit the burial of a non-Jewish spouse or

other family member and the interment of cremated remains. Grave markers are flat and only Jewish symbols are allowed.

It is hoped that Congregation Beit Tikva members will purchase plots and support the on-going beautification of the cemetery, beginning with the extension of the stone wall. (Please see photo). This extended wall will enclose new Congregation Beit Tikva graves and provide shelter for future generations. The cost of the extended wall is $65,000; the stones have already been delivered and are stored at the cemetery. Support for the wall is being sought from individual donations as well as the purchase of memorial plaques which mark the memory of loved ones buried far away. Each plaque costs $613 of which $400 is a contribution to the construction of the wall and is therefore tax-deductible. Eventually entrance pillars will

also be designed and built.Doris will present an illustrated

report on the dedicated Jewish section of Memorial Gardens Cemetery for members of Congregation Beit Tikva in the near future. We encourage you to come to her talk to learn more about the on-going plans for the synagogue’s cemetery.

Please contact Doris Francis at 982.9488.

Congregation Beit Tikva will launch its 3rd annual Teddy Bear Project for children

who have been victims of sexual abuse Santa Fe. This year we hope to be aided again by Hadassah & Civitan. All of the children are interviewed at the Solace Treatment Center (formerly the Santa Fe Rape Crisis Center). Congregants are asked to participate by donating new stuffed animals (medium to large in size), or journals to write in for the older children. The children are allowed to pick out a stuffed animal after their

interview. The Center interviews approximately 20 abused children every month (250 per year).

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month, so we

hope to be able to donate a large number of stuffed animals and

journals to the Center in April. A large box for donations

is in the synagogue lobby. You can also drop off

your new stuffed animals or journals at the home of Joan Less in Santa Fe 954-1030, [email protected]. Or, Sandy Levine in Eldorado 466-4041,

the newly formed group has had two meetings and has created an initial structure. the name

cBt clearly associates us with our synagogue and also is an acronym for creative, Bright and thinking, which we all are. We are very happy to report that there has been interest shown in joining and a total of twenty one women have attended one or both of the meetings. our first speaker was Phyllis Kapp, famous watercolor artist, gallery owner and cBt member, who was warmly received. our second speaker was Schelly Talalay Dardashti, a well-known genealogy expert who did a PowerPoint

presentation on finding our ancestors. We learned how to start such a quest.
