Message from Rabbi Nico …

Think about it! The Torah was delivered on Mount Sinai at the time in the midst of our walking in the desert. This means that if you compare it with milk or with the “food for our souls” as our Sages z”l did, this delivery would be closer to the idea of “take out” rather than sitting in your place or even in a restaurant…

On Shavuot we celebrate the giving of Torah to us. We are so happy with this gift; therefore, it is natural that we ask ourselves - how do we need to keep it!?

Every day while reciting the Shema we say: … These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road”… (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

Once I heard Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (on a video) referring to this verse and remarking that there are two different Torahs; one of when you sit at home and another of when you are traveling on the road! I have no doubt that the one which was given to us on Sinai when we were walking on the road is a Torah for walkers. From that perspective it is not a surprise that the Jewish law is called Halacha, a word which derives from the Hebrew word Halicha, walking! So how do we keep the Torah, symbol of our millenary, memory, conversation, search … How!?

Many of our fellow Jews, if we stay with the metaphor of Torah as food, keep their Torah in a kind of a cultural “freezer,” taking it out when needed. But I believe the contrary. We need to try to receive Torah as a life legacy, warm and dynamic in accordance with the way it was given to us. In receiving Torah we confirm our commitment with the search of deepness and meaning in life. Thus we say: “She is a tree of life to those who hold her fast and blessed are those who look for her”. (Proverbs 3:18)

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by Lauren Simon, TBT President

I can’t believe it is already May!! Where has this year gone? I hope you had a good Pesach filled with family, friends and lotsa matzah! At the end of this month, I will have completed my first year as President of TBT. So with that in mind, I spent some time reflecting on my first year and what it meant to me. I went into this position with the intention of pushing an attitude of engagement. I started off asking you to come join me. Over this past year, I believe I have seen an increase in engagement. We had a group of teens go to Washington DC for a social justice weekend and we have an even larger group going to Israel in June! That is engagement! We have had great turn outs at all of our events and there are more and more new faces stepping up to help in our community. I believe this last year has been a great success. With that being said, I think there is still more work to do. Miriam is retiring at the end of the month and there is no way we could ever replace her. She is truly irreplaceable. But much of the work she does still needs to be done. I would love to see our congregants step up and help with some engagement. Miriam has always had a miraculous way of knowing what is going on with every member at any given moment. If you know someone who needs a little extra love, let us know. Or better yet, reach out to them. Let’s end this year with love in our hearts and excitement for what’s to come. And Miriam, as you finish up your last month with us, I know it isn’t really the end. So I will try hard not be sad. I am so excited for you and your next stage of life. You have been such a significant part of so many of our lives! You will be such an amazing Rabbi. I can’t wait to see all the things you will do. Love you so much!! ~Lauren

Last month was our annual Texas Hold ‘em tournament. As in the past it was a lot of fun. Good food with good friends and

of course good poker. Congratulations go to Mitch Shapiro who won 1st place. Ben Eilenberg won 2nd place and

Meighan Rogers took 3rd place. Since Men’s Club always strives to make events bigger and better, next year we will be

holding a class for beginners on how to play poker so we can get even more people involved.

I’d like to thank everyone who participated in our last Men’s Club Shabbat services. Not only was it a lot of fun but we

learned there are different ways to say and do different prayers. A big shout out goes to our ‘Man of the Year’ Stan Pesner

for his talk from the heart about some of the real problems Jews are facing around the world.

We had our annual Angel baseball game on April 30th. The tickets sold quickly by popular demand.

This month we’ll have TBT’s own Dr. David Chapman giving a talk with a slide show about men’s gastrointestinal health.

Bring your questions. Btw-if you think you’re too young for this, consider this as a peak into your future (pun intended).

As always dinner is included with paid up membership.

We are asking for a show of interest for 2 events.

1. A trip to NYC next year, most likely in May. We’re thinking of museums, tours of the city, a trip to Yankee stadium, freedom tower, Shabbat services etc.

2. Going to another baseball game. Since the April baseball game tickets sold so quickly we are thinking of going to another game.

TBT Men’s Club is looking for a few good men. We have possible openings in Membership and Programming. Please call

me at 562-965-8287 if you’re interested in the NYC trip or serving on the MC Board. I can also be reached at

bronxwest@gmail.com. And as always I’m interested in hearing ideas and/or constructive criticism of your Men’s Club.

CHEF RABBI NICO!?!? By Beverly & Gary Steinberg

Did you know that Rabbi Nico cooks? We can now call him “Chef” Rabbi Nico! One of the silent auction gifts from Miriam's gala was a dinner cooked by the Rabbi and we won it! It was a delicious dinner that our friends are still talking about. But more than the food was the great conversation and laughs. Truly a memorable night. Rabbi Nico presented a very ambitious menu!

Orange Soup (sweet potato and goat yogurt) Green Pomegranate Salad, Cucumber Dill Salad, Israeli/Greek Salad, Twisted Figs, Grilled Fennel,

Shakshuka, Home-Made Hummus, Israeli Couscous, Princess of the Nile - Middle eastern Fusion Ceviche,

Mahi Mahi Fish Kebab, Surprising Tahini Mousse, Dessert.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEWLY

ESTABLISHED TBT FUND

Miriam Van Raalte Scholarship Fund

At TBT’s Gala on February 23, TBT Treasurer Henry

Cohen shared the following:

"Tonight, with this Gala, we honor Miriam's years of

nurturing and dedication. But we also want her to know

that we care about her future. We know that as a lifelong

teacher, she is also a dedicated learner. Miriam tells us

that she has always dreamed of the day when she would

have the time and the resources to go back to school to

become a Rabbi.

Tonight I would like to announce the creation of the

Miriam Van Raalte Scholarship Fund at TBT. Its purpose

is to provide financial assistance to Miriam as she

embarks on that new journey. Pledges totaling $5,000

have already been received and we ask that you

generously contribute to this Restricted Fund so that we

can reach a goal of $15,000 for the one-year tuition."

Donations can be made to this fund through TBT's

website, or directly to TBT as you would any other

donation. Thank you for helping to make Miriam's dream

come true!

MOVIE MAVENS

This is the only Mel Brooks’ film that he did not direct. Here is a short summary of this great hilarious movie:

“Frederick Bronski (Mel Brooks) and his adulterous wife, Anna (Anne Bancroft), are a pair of hammy actors running a low-rent theater in Warsaw, Poland. When the Nazis invade, the Bronskis find their theater becoming a makeshift refuge for local Jews and a gateway to the Polish underground. Using their limited acting skills, the members of the theater troupe attempt to deceive the Nazis and lead an escape.” Movie Mavens will screen this movie on May 26th at 2:00 in Room 105 of the Asa Center. It is only $5. You may pay at the door or call the Temple ahead of time. The admission includes snacks. Hope you come join the fun!

OC iEngage – Jewish Values and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Temple Beth Tikvah Proudly Presents an Exciting Learning Opportunity with the Shalom Hartman Institute

Join us as we explore the Jewish values that unite us. We’ll develop new ways of thinking and talking to each other about Israel by confronting one of the issues that most divides us.

Through the study of Jewish narratives about Israel and the complex meanings of peace, land, justice, self-preservation, compromise and Jewish exceptionalism in Jewish tradition, participants will develop a greater understanding of the ideals that shape their political views and

those of others. Together, participants will create a context for respectful Israel engagement across our differences.
