Megillah Reading

HAZZAN BONNIE STREIGOLD

Purim is one of the most theatrical holidays in Judaism! Coming from amusical theater background, I am drawn to the specifics of the ritual ofreading Megillat Esther. This year will be filled with song parodies andshpiels throughout the readings, but it’s the actual reading of the scrollthat fascinates me. There are two very distinct things to keep your eyesand ears open for: the way in which it is read and the way in which it issung. You may ask yourself, well isn’t that the same thing? Let me breakit down for you:

The scroll is to be read like a letterEsther 9:32 Now Esther’s order confirmed these matters of Purim, and it was inscribed

in the book.It has become the custom to spread out the Megillah on the reader’s table and instead of

rolling it like a Torah, we fold each column like we do when reading a letter.

The scroll is to be sung like a storyDuring parts of the story that are very sad, you’ll notice a change in melody. We pull

from the melody of the Book of Eicha which is the Book of Lamentations and speaks of thedestruction of the Temple.

It is customary for the readers to use different voices for various characters. It is also pop-ular for the congregation to make certain hand motions and sounds for different charactersor even animal noises for Pharaoh’s horses!

There are two universally traditional customs. We are told when we hear the name ofHaman, the villain in the story, we should make so much noise that it blots his name out!Groggers and homemade noise makers are encouraged as well as booing and yelling so hisname is unheard. The second and less obvious custom occurs in chapter 9 verses 6-10. Weare told to read all of these verses in one breath. These verses state that in Shushan the Jewsslain five hundred men including the ten sons of Haman. Singing this all in one breath sym-bolizes the idea that they were all killed at the same time.

I hope you can all join us in costume on March 23rd for our Megillah reading! Chag Purim Sameach!

HERJC Vision: Conversations to Shape our Shared Future

In As You Like It, Shakespeare described the “seven ages of man.” TheTalmud, too, enumerates the attainments of various ages. In chapter 5of Pirkai Avot, the Mishneh teaches that by the time a person is in his orher sixties, they are “Elders” who have acquired the wisdom to be ableto chart out the future for themselves and their community.

I am very excited to announce that this spring, as we continue ourcelebration of HERJC’s 65th anniversary, we will be holding a series ofmoderated small group conversations throughout the congregation.

These lively discussions will help us learn more about each other, and our shared valuesand dreams for the future of our synagogue family.

This project, co-chaired by Sheryl Behar and Dan Gerstman in consultation with JOIN,the Jewish Organizing Initiative and Network from Boston, should foster a deeper sense ofcommunity while charting the course for the next decade of our congregation’s future.

Each Vision Conversation will be conducted by a trained volunteer leader. They will takeplace during the months of March, April and May in people’s homes as well as at HERJC.

In order to make this unprecedented synagogue wide effort completely successful, wewill need everyone’s participation. I urge you to respond positively when you receive yourinvitation to HERJC Vision.

We need you to help us make our dreams a reality.

RENA WOLF

From Purim to Passover

Consider the following story:A young Jewish man is taken away from the land of Israel by force,

and grows up in a foreign country. In spite of the difficulties, he perse-veres and succeeds but not without inciting a noticeable measure of jeal-ousy and hostility. Eventually he uses his abilities to provide the kingwith some life-saving advice and is rewarded by being appointed viceroy.The King gives him his royal signet ring, symbolizing his high office,and has him dressed in royal garments. He is driven around on the royal

horse and chariot, while a page goes before him announcing his promotion and instructingthe King to bow. Now fully mature in years, the young man does not let all this go to hishead. He remains a loyal Jew, faithful to God, and uses his position and influence to benefitthe Jewish people.

Who’s story have I just told?You might have realized that I could be telling the story of either Joseph or Mordechai.

It appears that the author of The Book of Esther made a deliberate attempt to pattern hisdescription of the story of Purim after the Joseph story. Why? What is it about Joseph thathe wanted us to think of when we read Mordechai and Esther’s story?

Perhaps the author wants to emphasize the notion that every individual can play a crucialrole in determining the outcome of the Jewish people. History has shown that while oneindividual schemes to destroy us, someone else’s courage can bring about our salvation. Ormaybe the author wants to remind us that history repeats itself and that the past must in-struct our actions lest we make the same mistakes as our ancestors and suffer similar con-sequences. Perhaps more deeply, the author wants to leave us with the hope that the promiseof redemption is inherent in every exile. Just as the refuge which Joseph provided his familyin Egypt was followed by the Exodus, and the haven which Esther provided for the Jews inPersia was followed by the second return to Israel, so is each and every exile the prelude tothe redemption and restoration in the Land of Israel.

AUDREY POLINSKY

I do hope this issue of Hakol finds you well and that Spring is just aroundthe corner…

I’ve been on the road with my younger son visiting colleges, and ittakes me back to a time in my life that I loved and cherished dearly.While attending the University of Connecticut, I was part of the freshmanorientation staff. One of the catch phrases I must have said thousands oftimes over was “UCan at UConn.” I spent countless hours talking withthe incoming freshman about how life was going to be different in collegeas compared to living at home with parents and teachers to influence

and guide you. No longer would you be told what to do and when to do it, now it was solelyup to you to decide how to spend your time, what to try and get involved in. There were somany different groups, clubs and causes to choose from. How exciting!

As an adult, it has been my experience to fall into a routine, get comfortable and stickwith it. We don’t often take the opportunities to get out of our comfort zone. It takes tremen-dous courage to try something new and this can be scary and uncomfortable – better to stickwith what you know. I encourage and challenge each one of you to get out of your comfortzone and be a part of something at HERJC that you’ve yet to do or haven’t done in a while.Perhaps it’s attending a daily minyan, Friday night or Shabbat Service. Maybe it’s volunteeringat our upcoming Purim Carnival or attending one of the Rabbi’s classes. Or what about chant-ing a Haftorah or reading Torah? I know the Hazzan would love to meet with you.

Other areas to get involved with include all of our existing committees: School Board,Youth, Catering, Ritual, Finance, Membership, Chaverim, Capital Projects, Human Resources,Operational House, or Sisterhood. Better yet, help me organize some new committees thatwe are in need of: Insurance, Law, and Social Action.

“Adam and Eve” by Albert Durer


Visiting Speaker: Dr. Amy KalmanofskyAssociate Professor of Bible, The Jewish Theological Seminary

Amy Kalmanofsky is a graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and an associate professor of Bible atThe Jewish Theological Seminary, teaching courses on biblical literature, religion, and feminist interpretation of theBible. Dr. Kalmanofsky has written numerous articles examining the biblical representation of women and the roleswomen play in the Bible. Her most recent book, The Dangerous Sisters of the Hebrew Bible (Fortress Press, 2014)explores the biblical portrayal of sisters and sisterhoods, and argues that both play a vital role in the Bible’s narrative.She currently is working on a book entitled Gender-Play in the Hebrew Bible which explores the ways in whichthe Bible defies and challenges its gender norms.

Topic: The Serious Business of Playing with Gender in the BibleGender defines the Bible’s world and determines the behavior and status of its characters. Yet there are a numberof stories in the Bible that play with gender norms, in which women and men assume characteristics and behaviorstypically associated with the opposite gender. We will explore some of these stories together, and consider thecentral role they play in the Bible, and how they reflect and advance the Bible’s fundamental theology.

Schedule:FRIDAY NIGHT, MARCH 4

6:30 pm – Service followed by Shabbat Dinner (see page 5)Dr. Kalmanofsky will speak on: “A Female Judge and Warrior, and the Men They Overpower: Gender Play in Judges 4”

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 59:30 pm – Dr. Kalmanofsky will speak on:“The Women in Samson's Life: Gender Play in Judges 13 and 16”

SATURDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 5 During a Kiddush luncheon, following Shabbat morning services at approximately 12:30 pm, Dr. Kalmanofsky will speak on:“How a Great Woman Makes a Man of God: Gender Play in 2 Kings 4”


Siddur Lev Shalem Dedication and Kabbalat Hasiddur Saturday, April 2, 9:30 am

We are delighted that HERJC is one of the first congregations in the country toadopt the Conservative Movements brand new prayer book: Siddur Lev Shalem.

Designed for use by individuals, as well as for congregations, in both the homeand the synagogue, this extraordinary new siddur includes both the traditionalShabbat and festival prayers and those written by modern poets and writers. It isfully egalitarian and draws from more than 500 different sources – with writingsfrom 60 contemporary authors – and includes ancient blessings that date backto the first millennium in the land of Israel, as well as traditions from the fullarray of Jewish cultures – North African, Italian, Sephardic, Middle Eastern,Ashkenazi – across the range of Jewish history from ancient times to the contem-porary. It includes extensive transliteration of the Hebrew encouraging partici-pation of those who are not able to read Hebrew as well as a thoroughly moderntranslation of all the prayers.

The siddur, which is similar to the New High Holiday Machzor we began using several years ago, employs a four-column format,with the Hebrew liturgy and its contemporary-language English translations in two center columns, accompanied by historicalsources and explanatory materials in the far right-hand column, and poetry, alternative readings, kavanot (meditations) andinspirational materials on the far left. This should help us all to connect to each prayer, in whichever way best suits our particular needs, creating a more meaningful experience and deeper connection to God and the Jewish tradition.

Anyone wishing to dedicate one or more of these beautiful new books in honor or memory of someone can do so fora contribution of $36 per book. To donate a book you can contribute to the Prayer book fund at HERJC.org or callthe synagogue office. We will be donating our current prayer books (Siddur Sim Shalom) to other congregations. However any member

who would like a copy for their personal use, is welcome to have one. To reserve a free copy, contact the office.

PASSOVER

PESACH GUIDEThe Torah prohibits the ownership of hametz (leaven) during Pesach. Therefore, we arrange for the sale of the hametz to

a non-Jew. The transfer, mechirat hametz, is accomplished by appointing an agent, usually the Rabbi, to handle the sale. Itis a valid and legal transfer of ownership. At the end of the holiday, the agent arranges for the reversion of ownership of the now permitted hametz. If ownership of the hametz was not transferred before the holiday, the use of this hametz isprohibited after the holiday as well (hametz she-avar alav ha-Pesach).

Since the Torah prohibits the eating of hametz during Pesach, and since many common foods contain some admixture ofhametz, guidance is necessary when shopping and preparing for Pesach.

During the eight days of Pesach, hametz cannot lose its identity in an admixture. Therefore, the minutest amount ofhametz renders the whole admixture hametz and its use on Pesach is prohibited. However, during the rest of the year, hametzfollows the normal rules of admixture, i.e. it loses its identity in an admixture of one part hametz and sixty parts of non-hamtez (batel be-shishim). This affords us the opportunity to differentiate be tween foods purchased before and during Pesach.

What follows is a general guideline. However, Rabbi Warmflash should be consulted when any doubt arises. Kosher le-Pesach labels that do not bear the name of a Rabbi or one of the recognized symbols of rabbinic supervision, or which arenot integral to the package, should not be used without consulting the Rabbi.

Prohibited foods include the following: leavened breads, cakes, biscuits, crackers, cereal, coffees containing cereal deriv-atives, wheat, barley, oats, spelt, rye and all liquids containing ingredients or flavors made from grain alcohol.

Most Ashkenazic authorities have added the following foods (kitniyot) to the above list: rice, corn, millet, legumes (beansand peas, however, string beans are permitted). The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards has ruled unanimously thatpeanuts and peanut oil are permissible. Some Ashkenazic authorities permit, while others forbid, the use of legumes in aform other than their natural state, for example, corn sweeteners, corn oil, soy oil. Sephardic authorities permit the use ofall of the above. Consult Rabbi Warmflash for guidance in the use of these products.

PERMITTED FOODSa) The following foods require no kosher le-Pesach label if purchased prior to Pesach: unopened packages or containers of natural

coffee without cereal additives, (however, be aware that coffees produced by General Foods are not kosher for Passover unlessmarked 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 ascheddar (hard), muenster (semi-soft) and Camembert (soft); frozen (uncooked) fruit (with no additives); baking soda.b) The following foods require no Kosher le-Pesach label if purchased before or during Pesach: fresh fruits and vegetables (for legumes

see above), eggs, fresh fish and fresh meat.c) The following foods require a Kosher le-Pesach label if purchased before or during Pesach: all baked products (matza, cakes, matza

flour, farfel, matza meal, and any products containing matza); canned or bottled fruit juices (These juices are often clarifiedwith kitniyot, which are not listed among the ingredients. However, if one knows there are no such agents, the juice may bepurchased prior to Pesach without a Kosher le-Pesach label); wine, vinegar, liquor; oils, dried fruits; candy; chocolate flavoredmilk; ice cream; yogurt and soda.d) The following processed foods (canned, bottled or frozen) require a Kosher le-Pesach label if purchased during Pesach: milk, butter,

juices, vegetables, fruit, milk products, spices, coffee, tea, and fish as well as all foods listed in category C.


DISHES AND UTENSILSa)Only dishes and utensils specially reserved for Pesach should be used with the follow-

ing exceptions:• Silverware, knives, forks and spoons made wholly of metal, if used during the year,

may be used on Pesach if thoroughly scoured and immersed in boiling water. All tableglassware is permitted after thorough scouring. Fine translucent chinaware, if not usedfor a year, is permitted.

• Metal pots and pans used for cooking pur poses only (but not for baking), if madewhol ly of metal, may be used on Pesach if first thoroughly scoured and immersed inboiling water.

• Utensils used for baking during the year can not be used during Pesach.b)Earthenware, enamelware and porcelain uten sils used during the year may not be used

on Pesach.c) The stove is prepared for

Pesach by thoroughly scrubbingthe oven and grates and turning upthe heat as high as possible for ashort while.d) A dishwasher may be used

for Pesach after thor ough scouringwith boiling water, and runningone cycle.

A JEWISH RESPONSE TO HUNGER1990 South Bundy Drive, No. 260

There was a time when Sarah’schicken soup was the highlight ofevery Passover Seder. This year,Sarah cannot afford the ingredientsto make a pot of soup. ThePassover Haggadah teaches, “Let allwho are hungry enter and eat.”With your support, MAZON willhonor this tradition by helpingpeople like Sarah.

Mechirat Chametz “Selling of Leaven”The Biblical injunction reads “no leaven shall be seen or found in your pos ses sion” duringPesach. To accept the literal, surface meaning of this com mand would imply that one mustDISPOSE OF all his pastry, flour, sugar, etc. for the full week. Imagine what havoc thiswould cause the baker, manufacturer, wholesaler or any ordinary household! The Rabbisconcluded that the leaven may not BELONG TO YOU during the week of Pesach. There-fore, if it is sold to a non-Jew, the prohibition no longer pertains. This, then, became theprevalent practice, though usually with the stipulation (or tacit understanding) that thenon-Jew “sell it back” after Pesach. Since, however, it is much too cumbersome for eachJew to perform such trans actions individually, the next step was to empower one person –usually the Rabbi – to act as agent for the entire community.

Mechirat Chametz – Authorization for Sale of ChametzI hereby authorize Rabbi Andrew Warmflash to sell all hametz in my possession.

WE REMEMBER THE SIX MILLION Yom HaShoah Commemoration at HERJCThursday, May 5 at 7:30 pm

It’s been more than 70 years since the Holocaust ended. As the time passes, and fewer and fewer survivors remain, it becomes even more important to keep this memory alive.That’s why we encourage every family in the Congregation to:

• join us for our annual Yom HaShoah commemoration• explain to their children the significance of the candle.

Sadly, in America today, 20% of high school students haveno knowledge of the Holocaust.

sisterhoodBARBARA KAPLAN

Just as I was writing this article, thegroundhogs, Phil, Mel, Chuck, and Hal,forecasted that we are going to have anearly spring. It reminds me that 5776 is aJewish leap year in which there are twomonths of Adar. This occurs seven timesin a nineteen-year cycle. This year bothPurim and Passover take place in thespring.

One of the names for Passover is Chag ha’Aviv (Festival ofSpring). In Exodus 34:18, “The festival of unleavened breadshall be kept . . . at the appointed time in the month of spring.”No matter when Passover takes place, we always feel rushedwith preparation. Of course, many of us will say how latePassover is this year as it ends April 30.

HERJC Sisterhood is proud to be one of the nine sponsorsfor the Joint Women’s Seder scheduled for Wednesday, April6. All women are invited to attend as we meet other Jewishwomen from the nearby communities. The women representConservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist congregations.This will be the fourth women’s seder that I will attend.

Our annual Sisterhood Shabbat was held on January 23,the day of the major snowstorm. Unfortunately, not everyonewas able to attend. Thank you to Marion Hauser and LouiseAbrams for co-chairing Sisterhood Shabbat, Matilde Olin fordesigning the program cover, the members of Sisterhood whobraved the snow to participate, and to Rabbi Warmflash andHazzan Streigold for their assistance and support.

Several days later, sixty-five women attended our annualBringo. We all enjoyed playing Bingo, winning prizes, andeating the delicious food provided by Bagel Boss. I want tothank the chairpersons Sharon Nash and Robin Mintz for another successful Bringo.

As I was writing this article, news regarding the future of Masorti/Conservative Jews took place. First, the Jewish

social outreach

Theological Seminary in NYC is about to embark on a visionary project that will transform the current campusinto a state-of-the-art 21st century facility. Constructionwill start in the next few months and will take approxi-mately three years to complete. On January 31, the Israeligovernment voted to approve the expansion of the Western Wall plaza to accommodate a prayer section formixed-gender prayer and women who want to read fromthe Torah.

Since autumn, I have been taking advantage of educa-tional opportunities at HERJC. I attend the Monday morn-ing Bible class taught by the Rabbi in which we arelearning about Kings. This year’s course began with KingSolomon. I also enjoy Living Liturgy: How to Get More outof Services and The Shabbos Table. Even at the Sisterhoodboard meetings, we begin with a board study. This year’stheme is Jewish Modern Heroines.

I wish everyone a freilichen Purim and zissen Pesach.

our jewish future

nursery schoolCHERYL KARP

There is an ancient Babylonian tale thattells the story of Rabbi Judah the Princeand his friendship with the Roman Em-peror, Antoninus. It seems that one daythe emperor invited the rabbi to eat din-ner at his palace. The Rabbi ate fruitsand pastries the likes of which he hadnever tasted.

The following Friday night, the Rabbiinvited the emperor to eat dinner at his house. They atesoup, roasted chicken, stewed vegetables, pastries, challahand wine. The emperor thought it was better than any othermeal he had ever tasted. The Rabbi invited him back the fol-lowing Wednesday night for dinner. The emperor cameback, expecting a meal even grander than the last. The Rabbiserved the same exact meal; soup, roasted chicken, stewedvegetables, pastries, challah and wine-but somehow themeal wasn’t nearly as good as the previous week. When theemperor asked what was wrong with the meal as it was not

as delicious as the last time, the rabbi replied that there wasa special spice that made the food taste better the week be-fore. The emperor offered to search the world for the spice(since he certainly could afford to do so) but the rabbi toldhim that the spice could not be bought.

The special spice that was missing was Shabbat. On Jan-uary 8th, approximately 85 people gathered together withRabbi Warmflash, Hassan Streigold and some of our stafffor our very special Backwards Tot Shabbat. The special spicethat emperor Antoninus tasted was certainly prevalentthroughout the evening. The service was wonderful and ourfamilies joined together for a delicious meal. On that Fridaynight Shabbat, the evening was extra special because wegathered together as one and welcomed in Shabbat to-gether.

However, there was one thing missing - the very specialfamilies in our school who certainly missed the deliciousspices of that night. Our next Tot Shabbat will be March 18th

and we have a festive Purim themed Shabbat planned.Please make plans to join us and help spice up our evening.Without you, our dinner will not be as tasty.

Help Us Reach

Our Goal!


A Request From The Rabbi

Please keep me informed of significantevents in your family life. It is my desire to be of

help and service to you intimes of special need. It is especially importantthat I know of those in the hospital so that theymay be included in aprayer for recovery at Shabbat Services.

religious schoolDAVID WOOLFE

Beginning this coming Fall, the HERJC Religious School will be-come a two-day a week program.With an asterisk.

Since I arrived at HERJC, we have embraced a tradition of maintain-ing our long-standing, high Jewish educational and congregational stan-dards while being responsive to the needs of our students and families.We have demonstrated our commitment to these two goals when weconsolidated our five-day program to three-days, when we institutedour successful Akiva/Hillel programs and when we introduced BuildingBlocks to our school. These changes have been successful not only be-

cause they were in response to the real needs of our community and we have implementedthem well but because we made them when they needed to be made.

In adapting programs, like most other things in life, timing is important. There havebeen calls for a two-day program predating my arrival at HERJC. But the time was not right.Even though such a change would have been welcomed by some of the families, our com-munity was not yet ready for that change.

The time is now. Once again, our program is set to adapt to the changing needs of ourfamilies, this time by offering a genuine two-day a week program. To accomplish this, ourchallenge has been to respect and meet those needs while continuing to provide the high-quality, award-winning religious education that has always been associated with the HERJCReligious School.

The asterisk! Unlike other synagogues that have reduced days of religious instruction,we were committed to making sure that this change did not diminish our educational pro-

gram. In order to ensure that we continue to offerand provide our award-winning Jewish educationfor our students, our two-day program includesadding an hour on Sunday morning for all our pro-grams (including Building Blocks!) and offering anexciting enrichment program on Thursday after-noons designed to attract the interest of our students.

In addition, our Akiva program will continue tobe a three-day a week program, even while allowingour Akiva students the opportunity to take advantageof the enrichment electives on Thursdays.

What does this change mean for our ReligiousSchool families and our congregation? It means that families of students in Alef throughHay (2nd – 6th grades) will be making a commitment to a two-day a week, five hour reli-gious school program. Building Block families will be making a Sunday morning, threehour commitment and our Vav class (7th grade) will be making a two-day, four-and-a-halfhour commitment. It means that all our students in Alef – Vav will have the opportunity totake advantage of our enrichment program on Thursday afternoons.

And it means that our congregation can continue to proudly provide the highest-quality,most innovative, award-winning religious school education on the South Shore.

I am extremely excited by this new program and I look forward to sharing the detailswith our families and members. It is a wonderful feeling to be part of a creative, dynamiccongregation that has a long tradition of embracing the beauty of Jewish ritual and learning.

Exciting News about theHERJC Youth ProgramWe want to let you know about some exciting changes to our youth program that have been implemented in the past few weeks. Stephanie Ozner has taken afull-time position at the Mid-Island JCC in Plainview and we thank her for herdedicated service to our children and congregation.

We went through a detailed search for a replacement and Hofstra Hillel willbe joining us to manage our youth program serving as both the Youth Directorand Youth Advisors. Dave Siegel is the Executive Director of the Hofstra Hilleland has a deep relationship with the USY program and has served as a Youth Advisor, Youth Director, Division Fieldworker and as the METNY Regional Director before joining the Hillel faculty. He and his students have met with theHERJC staff and the Youth Committee as part of the transition and are excited tojump right in and get started.

Over the next few weeks they will continue to evaluate the program with theHERJC Youth Committee to ensure we are providing an exciting and dynamicprogram. They will continue to use the [email protected] email address and wewould encourage you to communicate with them in that way and to stop by atpick up to meet the new staff.

March 20th will be our annual Purim Carnival and the planning is already un-derway to make this a successful event once again. If you have purchased a bannerin the past and would like to have a banner again, please call the office or a mem-ber of the Youth Committee. There is still time to order a banner if you wouldlike to support the carnival. Our youth staff and committee members will bereaching out to discuss volunteer needs and opportunities for high school students to earn community service hours.

Once again, we are very excited about the changes in the program and resources that Hofstra Hillel will bring to the HERJC community that we antici-pate will engage, entertain and excite our children and families.
