Pesach break
It’s always amazing to me how clean-ing can be so therapeutic. We often find ourselves cleaning our homes when there are other pressing things to do. There is something special about the act of cleaning itself. It can be meditative- an act which cleanses the soul. Could it be the strong chemicals? Perhaps the often back-breaking task of scrubbing away sticky stains (whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?) Or maybe it is a
value in itself? (Cleanliness is close to godliness?)
On Passover, cleaning is highlighted as one of the main tasks. It is glorified as a mitzvah and something that most Jews take quite seri-ously. Check out this video for an illustration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orqChei5B_U. The idea of scrubbing so hard that one can completely erase something unwanted is a common theme in the Torah. In fact, it comes up for us twice in Parashat Tzav, which we will read later this month.
In the beginning of the Parashah, we read about the olah, the burnt offering, which is a sacrifice performed by Aaron and his sons on the altar. Unlike other sacrifices, which are partially consumed by others including the priests and the people, the olah is special in that it is fully consumed by God, symbolized by the act of it being completely consumed by fire. Ramban, a commentator from 13th century Spain, explains that the olah’s purpose is to expiate a person’s sins for hav-ing evil thoughts, hirhuray halev. If a person fantasized about doing something against the Torah, s/he offers up an olah as repentance.
This ritual act of wiping out a person’s evil thoughts by burning something completely reminds me of Pesach. We are commanded to remove of every scrap of hametz, leavened bread, during this holiday, in remembrance of the Israelites who didn’t have time to allow their dough to rise as they escaped from slavery in Egypt. Getting rid of our hametz is no easy task. It includes, often, clean-ing and kashering for weeks before!
The Shulhan Arukh, “Set Table,” a legal code by Sephardic rabbi Yosef Karo from the 16th century, explains the detail in which a person should clean his or her house. “One needs to check all the places in which there is concern lest he has brought into them hametz. And therefore, all the rooms of the house and the lofts need checking; because sometimes a person enters them with his bread in his hand. But, wine cellars from which one would not go to get wine in the middle of a meal, and likewise a shed or similar places, they do not need checking.” (Orah Hayim, 433 1,3).
Any place that bread reaches should be checked and cleaned in preparation for Passover. The process of searching and cleaning is thorough, similar to the burnt offering which is completely consumed. Similarly, the Jewish tradition compares searching for hametz as a spiritual exercise for the purpose of cleaning oneself of bad inclinations.
The Zohar, a primary work of Jewish mysticism teaches that “leaven” and “unleaven” symbolize the evil and the good inclina-tions in people (Ex 12:34). It goes on to explain how dangerous unleavened bread within a person is perceived. “If one eats leaven during the Passover, it is as though he worshipped idols…for the ‘evil inclination’ operates in man and grows in him like leaven in the dough: it enters into him, and little by little, extends its influence until his whole self is permeated by it. This is idolatry.” Idolatry, according to Zohar, is the process by which we allow the evil inclination to rule us. The act of the leaven expanding the dough is compared to the evil inclination taking over a person.
The preparation as described in the Shulhan Arukh is a cleansing process by which we think about where our leaven is in the house. Literally, we are throwing out bread and cleaning the mess we have made over the year. (Hopefully less than a year!) But spiritually, we are cleaning out the evil inclination that has found its way into our beings. The cleaning process helps us ask ourselves, what have we done wrong this year? What would we like to work on for the coming year? In what ways are we helping the world and its inhab-itants? In what ways are we harming it? What is the status of our relationships? How can we work to improve our relationships with others, with God, and with ourselves if they are in need of repair?
This Passover, may we gain the strength and ability to prepare for the holiday by offering an olah, a good, thorough, search for hametz (without going overboard!) that leaves us with the feel-ing that we have searched every corner of our minds and souls for ways to improve ourselves and our relationships. May our sacrifices be worthy of being accepted.

Message from the President cHRIS EISSENSTAT
It’s March and the end of winter is in sight! After a very busy February which included a Religious School dinner, a Shabbat Around the World dinner, Casino Night, Purim (two Megillah readings, a spiel and a mini-carnival), a movie night, and a scavenger hunt at a local grocery store (thank you Giant Eagle), we can all pause, take a breath and start planning for March. Mark your calendars for the weekend of
March 15/16 when Rabbi Roni Tabick will join us to lead services and do a Lunch & Learn. On Tuesday, March 19 there will be a Women’s Seder co-sponsored by Beth Sholom, NCJW, Hadassah and Kol Ami taking place at the Delaplaine Center in Frederick. For details, see the flyer elsewhere in this Bulletin. Also note that the first Seder is Monday, March 25. A big thank you goes out to all the people who worked on Casino Night, especially the Elkon family, Betsy Nicholas and Stacee Springer in the kitchen and everyone who worked on the committee planning this great event.
Enough of calendar items: After a great (if I do say so myself) Shabbat Around the World dinner, I was asked by quite a few peo-ple for the recipes for moussaka and the dried fruit/nut and grain dessert pudding. So here they are:
Vegetarian Moussaka2-3 lbs. eggplantOlive oil1/4 cup butter (pareve margarine)1 large Spanish onion, chopped2 large cloves garlic, chopped1 pound mushroom, sliced (portabella)1 cup tomato puree1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley1/8 tsp. ground cinnamonsalt and freshly ground pepper
bechamel Sauce1/4 cup butter (pareve margarine)1/4 cup all-purpose flour4 egg yolks beaten (from large eggs)2 cups warm milk (rice milk substitute)1 cup grated parmesan cheese (did not use for this dish because we were serving meat)
Slice eggplant into rounds approximately 1/2” thick. Brush with olive oil and place under broiler until lightly browned. Turn, brush again with oil and broil other side. Remove and set aside.
In skillet, melt margarine over moderate heat and sauté onion and garlic for approximately 2 minutes or until starting to soften. Add mushrooms and continue to cook for approximately 5 minutes stirring often. Add tomato puree, cinnamon, parsley, salt and pep-per, mix well and cook for another five minutes, adding a little water if mixture sticks. Set aside.
In greased 9x13 pan layer half eggplant, then half tomato mushroom sauce, remaining eggplant and remaining tomato mushroom sauce.
In 2 qt. pot melt remaining 1/4 cup margarine over moderate heat, add flour stirring rapidly and constantly to make a smooth roux. Using a whisk, mix beaten egg yolks into warm milk then gradually add this mixture to roux in pot, beating constantly. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Remove white sauce from heat and pour over eggplant, tomato sauce layers in pan. Then sprinkle very lightly with nutmeg for color OR sprinkle with par-mesan cheese if using. Bake at 350 degrees 35-45 minutes or until cream topping is lightly browned and casserole is bubbling.
Greek Dried Fruit/Nut Dessert Pudding2 cups dried fruit (recipe calls for dark raisins, I used cherries)12 large eggs1-1/2 cups sugar3/4 cup honey1-1/2 cups fine semolina or farina (I used Bob’s Red Mill rice farina)1-1/2 to 2 cups coarsely chopped almonds or walnuts ( I used almonds)2-3 medium apples peeled and chopped (I used Granny Smiths)
Soak dried fruit for couple of hours, drain and chop. (Recipe says grind or puree). Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a large baking dish (9x13). Beat eggs until light. Add the sugar and honey and beat until thick and creamy, about five minutes. Stir in the dried fruit, cereal, nuts and apples. Pour into prepared baking dish (batter should be no more than two inches deep). Bake until golden brown about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool before serving.
This can be made kosher for Passover by substituting 1-1/2 cups matza meal or 12 crumbled matzot (about 6 cups) for the cereal.
So...everyone enjoy and I promise I will not make this a recipe column every month. Hope to see you at services and/or at all our Beth Sholom activities and, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call Marcia or me to talk. We always want to hear from you.
GIFT SHOPPassover is just a few weeks away and the gift shop
has spent weeks preparing. We have all of your Passover necessities and hostess gifts. Choose from seder plates, matzah covers, plates, charoset bowls,
salt water bowls, matzah sweepers, Hagaddahs, kiddush cups and so much more. Come see what is
new. You may not know you even need it!
Beth Sholom Congregation4
From the Desk of the Executive DirectorMARcIA NEWFElD | [email protected]
Beth Sholom has come a long way in the past 18 months. When I returned to Beth Sholom back in July of 2011, the feelings roaming around the Commu-nity Center were not positive. I heard waves of rumors that Beth Sholom was broke and was going under, that it was felt that the only way to survive would be for Beth Sholom to merge with Con-gregation Kol Ami, basically that Beth
Sholom had maybe a year or two left to survive but would then be closing their doors.
Today, I am happy to report, none of these prophecies have come true, not even close.
The congregation is not “rolling in the dough” but we are oper-ating in the black. Last fiscal year we had a modest amount of surplus which was put into a reserve account. Some of this money has been used to pay for the repairs we have been doing on the old synagogue. I find that everyone’s attitude is much more upbeat. A lot of things have happened to help these changes come about.
Beth Sholom Congregation became affiliated with The United Syn-agogue of Conservative Judaism. We have now branded ourselves as a Conservative congregation. What does that mean since we always considered ourselves to be conservative? It means that we are one congregation among 600 who follow the hallakah (laws/rules) set by the Committee of Jewish Law & Standards of the Rab-binical Assembly. It means that we have a whole lot of resources that we can put our hands on for Board Development, Member-ship Outreach and Inreach and materials and programs that are available to our schools. It gave us the opportunity to apply for and be granted a rabbinic intern from the Gladstein Fellowship. Our rabbinic interns have done quite a lot to enhance our services and to enhance our adult education through the Lunch & Learns which follow Shabbat services. We have started using Sim Shalom, the Conservative prayer book, for Shabbat. And now we are in the process of possibly hiring Rabbi Adam Baldachin. Many exciting changes are taking place.
It is a wonderful feeling to walk into the building and see smiles on the faces of other congregants and to hear people say hello to one another. We had a very successful Casino Night which was the best ever! We have raised the bar of what everyone has come to expect at Beth Sholom and everyone is pitching in to help us. I would like to thank Ezra and Marla Elkon for all of their guidance and hard work to put this event together. Others who worked on the committee and deserve our appreciation are Jamie and How-ard Wetrogan, Gayle Bromberg, Betsy Nicholas, Chris Eissenstat, Shurron Carpel, Stacee Springer, Elaine and Spencer Neufeld, Gina Rubin, Sharon Edelstein, and Mike Albert. I sincerely hope that I have not left anyone out. A great big thank you to all of you on behalf of Beth Sholom.
At the end of February we had two very successful Megillah readings for Purim. The one Saturday night was read by Rabbi Roni and Andy Rosenfeld, aided by Jeff Rossio. The Purim Spiel, adapted by Jim Lewin, was a spoof on the Wizard of Oz. The BSC players included our president Chris Eissenstat, Mark Vallon, Bri-elle Kaplan, Mike Kaplan, Gerry Royston and Andy Carpel. And they did a terrific job. On Sunday morning the Megillah was read by Rabbi T and enhanced by the Shoresh host of characters in a video explaining each chapter before it was read. Then we ate a delicious brunch prepared by Marty Erlichman and his kitchen crew and had a great time at the mini Purim carnival.
March, by comparison, seems like it is going to be a relatively quiet month, that is, until the 25th when Passover begins. For those who use Passover as a time to do their spring cleaning, it is quite busy. Others are just as busy cleaning all of the chametz out of their homes and cooking and baking for the seders. If you need a seder to go to or if you have room at your seder for someone, please let me know and I am happy to pair you up. No one should be alone during the holidays. Everyone needs to hear the story of the Exo-dus and experience it for themselves, so please give me a call.
Keep on smiling and staying involved. Do you have some good ideas of what we should be doing or where we should be heading? I always welcome new ideas, so please email me, drop in or give me a call. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
I wish everyone a very happy Chag Kosher L’ Pesach.
Join our community for a celebration of Israel’s 65th birthday.

PASSOVER 5773
what is chametz?If one of the five grains--wheat, oats, rye, barley, or spelt--comes in con-tact with water after being harvested, it becomes fermented, or chametz. This fermentation takes 18 minutes, according to tradition. Pesadick baked goods are made from flour that has not been fermented. The term cha-metz also applies to dishes and utensils that have been in contact with chametz foods during the year.
Most Ashkenazic authorities have added the following foods (kit-niyot) to the above list: rice, corn, millet, and legumes (beans and peas; however, string beans are permitted). Prohibited foods on Passover include the following: leavened bread, cakes, biscuits, crackers, cereal, coffees containing cereal derivatives, wheat, bar-ley, oats, spelt, rye, and all liquids containing ingredients or flavors made from grain alcohol.
Have you sent in your “sale of chametz” letter? All donations go to tzedakah.

The chametz (leavening) Search, Sunday Evening, March 24
The night before the first Seder, we search for and symbolically elim-inate all remaining leavening from the house. We do our searching at nightfall. This is an especially enjoyable ceremony for children. This ritual is described at the beginning of many Haggadot.
The search is performed in the following manner:
a. Place 10 pieces of visible-size bread in various locations throughout the house.
b. Make the following blessing: Baruch atah Hashem Elokeinu melech ha-olam asher kid-shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivonu al biur chametz. Then proceed, traditionally with lighted candles, to look for any leaven that can be found.
c. The pieces of bread should be gathered into a container, with a feather and a wooden spoon, and can be placed in a small card-board box.
d. After gathering the 10 pieces and whatever other leaven there is, make the following declaration: “All manner of leaven that is in my possession which I have not seen or have not removed, or have no knowledge of, shall be null and disowned as the dust of the earth.”
The blessings recited for the candles are:

the seder PlateThe Seder preparations should be made in time for the Seder to begin as soon as the synagogue services are finished. It should not begin before nightfall. Matzah, bitter herbs and several other items of symbolic significance are placed on the Seder plate in the arrangement shown below.
Matzah – Three whole matzos are placed one atop the other separated by a cloth or napkin. Matzah must be eaten three times during the Seder, by itself, with maror, and as the afikoman. Each time, the minimum portion of matzah for each person should have is a volume equivalent to half an egg. Where many people are present, enough matzos should be available to enable each partici-pant to receive a proper portion.
Maror and chazeret – Bitter herbs are eaten twice during the Seder, once by themselves and a second time with matzah. Each time a minimum portion, equal to the volume of half an egg should be eaten. The Talmud lists several vegetables that qualify as Maror, two of which are put on the Seder plate in the places marked Chazeret and Maror. Most people use romaine lettuce (whole leaves or stalks) for Chazeret, and horseradish (whole or grated) for Maror, although either may be used for the mitzvah of eating Maror later in the Seder.
charoset –The bitter herbs are dipped into charoset (a mixture of grated apples, nuts, other fruit, cinnamon and other spices, mixed with red wine). The charoset has the appearance of mortar to symbolize the lot of the Hebrew slaves, whose lives were embit-tered by hard labor with brick and mortar.
Z’roa (roasted bone) and beitzah (roasted egg) – On the eve of Passover in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, two sacrifices were offered and their meat roasted and eaten at the Seder feast. To commemorate these two sacrifices we place a roasted bone (with some meat on it) and a roasted hard-boiled egg on the Seder plate.
The egg, a symbol of mourning, is used in place of a second piece of meat as a reminder of our mourning at the destruction of the Temple – may it be rebuilt speedily in our day.
karpas – A vegetable (celery, parsley, boiled potato) other than bitter herbs completes the Seder plate. It will be dipped in salt water and eaten. (The salt water is not put on the Seder plate, but it, too, should be prepared beforehand, and placed near the Seder plate

PASSOVER 5773
Mechirat Chametz – Passover Sale of ChametzJewish law requires that during Passover it is technically forbidden for us to have any Chametz in our possession. Because we cannot finish it all, and it is improper to destroy usable food, the rabbis provided for a symbolic sale of all of the chametz to a non-Jew who then “sells” it back to us after Passover. The chametz is then no longer “in our possession.”
This ceremony is usually done by a rabbi and is called Mechirat Chametz (literally, the sale of Chametz.) This sale includes food, dishes and utensils which are locked away in storage for the duration of the festival. This legal procedure technically transfers ownership of chametz that remains in our pantry during the festival. Technical ownership reverts to us when the festival is over. Please fill out and return this form to the synagogue office by Wednesday, March 20, 2013. It is customary to give a donation to the synagogue for selling your chametz.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the undersigned has authorized Rabbi Adam Baldachin, rabbinic intern of Beth Sholom Congregation, to sell the Chametz of:

The Rosh Chodesh Group at Beth Sholom meets
once a month on Rosh Chodesh, a holiday given to women since ancient times as a reward for not participating in building the golden calf. Our pro-gram is devoted to study, fun and enjoyment of
a nice meal. Usually one of us volunteers to host the meeting at her home. There is
no charge for participating as we all share this responsibility. We also volunteer to lead a topic of interest. There have been talks on famous Jewish women, Jewish holidays and ritual, Jewish music and Sephardic Jews (next meeting). Our last meeting was hosted by Ava Miedzinski at her home, where we enjoyed a delicious kosher lunch, coffee and dessert.
Ava led a very complex talk on demonology and its influence on the post-Biblical Jews. She clarified many terms about paganism and Hebrew words such as Lilith, Meriri, Zonah, shedim and how these terms are often translated and given incorrect meaning. In the Torah there are no demons. Most of the concepts of demons relate to paganism and to the lack of scientific knowledge and fear during the Middle Ages. A study handout was shared so we could do further study on our own and quotes from the Tanach were also used. We are grateful for the questions and concepts that Ava raised and we all felt we had learned much.
Our next topic will relate to a famous Sephardic woman born in Por-tugal who was very much like the great Esther we read about during Purim. No one has to be an expert; we are learning much from each other and our experiences and studies. Rabbi Adam is always avail-able for questions. You are welcome to join us at our next meeting Monday, March 11, at Beth Sholom Community Center.

The next meeting of the Beth Sholom Book Club will be Sunday, March 17 at 1 p.m. (3rd Sunday, not the usual 4th).
Our selection is Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of my Hasidic Roots, written by Deb-orah Feldman. Below is a brief summary by Barnes & Noble:
Deborah Feldman was born into an insular Satmar Hasidim com-munity in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Raised by her grandparents, she rebelled against the sect’s strict controls even as a child, smug-gling in “forbidden” works by Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. Problems escalated precipitously when at seventeen, she was mar-ried to a man whom she had known for only half an hour. This memoir unrolls the story of her marital crisis, her breakdown and her escape from the world she had known all her life. Jeannette Walls calls this book “a brave, riveting account of her journey. Unorthodox is harrowing, yet triumphant.” A recent paperback edition contains a new epilogue by the author.
On Sunday, May 19, (also a 3rd Sunday) at 1 p.m., we’ll discuss The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman. Below is a brief summary from the author’s web site:
Over five years in the writing, The Dovekeepers is Alice Hoffman’s most ambitious and mesmerizing novel, a tour de force of imagi-nation and research, set in ancient Israel.
In 70 CE, nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on a mountain in the Judean desert, Masada. Only two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic and iconic event, Hoffman weaves a spellbinding tale of four extraordinarily bold, resourceful, and sensuous women, each of whom comes to Masada by a different path. The lives of these four complex and fiercely independent women intersect in the desperate days of the siege. All are dovekeepers, and all are also keeping secrets — about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and who they love.

NJCW Frederick Section and Esther Krinitz Hadassah
Invite You to Spend an Afternoon at theAmerican Visionary Art Museum
to View the Esther Krinitz Tapestry Collection
Esther Nisenthal Krinitz—whose popular dress shop, Esther’s, graced downtown’s North Market Street in the 1980s and 1990s—had a past unlike other Frederick shopkeepers. As a 15-year-old girl in Nazi-occupied Poland, she defied orders to report to the train station and, with her parents’ blessing, fled with her younger sister, never to see her family again. Years later in Frederick, while putting in long hours at the store, she also found time to complete a remarkable memoir in fabric: 36 panels of fabric collage and needlework that depict scenes both tender and traumatic from her youth. Haunted by her memories, she worked steadily, wanting only to share with her children the vivid images she recalled, of all she had been through, and all she had lost. Since her death in 2001, her fabric art has been exhibited in museums across the country.
It’s almost spring, which means exciting things for the Beth Sholom teens! Recently, a number of teens attended the Shoresh Family Shabbaton, which of course, was an amazing Jewish experience for them. It was a wonderful way to recon-nect with Judaism, even if it was just for 2 days! And speaking of Shoresh, the teens volunteered at our annual Purim Carnival on February 24th, which was, as always, a ton of fun! Many of our teens have volunteered before, running games and hand-ing out prizes, which, they say, is a lot more fun than it sounds!
Although it has been awhile since the Teen Volunteer Corps has met all together, we had a lovely guest speaker come in for our most recent meeting.
As for volunteer opportunities, with Pesach also right around the corner, the Teen Volunteer Corps will once again join forces with NCJW for their annual Women’s Seder, which is also an incredible volunteer experience. We are excited to see what the next couple of months will bring, and look forward to starting a new volunteer project soon!

Halina Silber
Halina Silber was a ten-year-old girl in Krakow when theGerman occupation began in 1939. The family fled to a smalltown to hide, but as the situation became more desperate,Halina's mother sent her back to Krakow to work in the campso that she could be with her siblings. Silber later discov-ered that the village had been surrounded and all Jewsdeported the day after she left. Soon after, Halina was chosen to work for Schindler andbecame #16 on his now-famous list. She labored in both ofhis factories from 1943 until liberation. Her mother and otherfamily members were murdered at the Belzec exterminationcamp.
One of the most famous Righteous Gentiles from the Holocaust,Schindler helped to save thousands of Polish Jews by shielding them asworkers in his factories. Referring to them as his “Schindlerjuden,”Schindler ensured that the Jews in his factories worked but were alsofed, no one was beaten, and no one was killed. It became an oasis ofhumanity in a desert of moral torpor. His story is immortalized in the film"Schindler's List." Come hear the story from a woman who lived it.

Enrichment Program
Beth Sholom’s Enrichment Program is a series of project-based mini-sessions in which students explore different elements of Judaism in hands-on activities. Students in grades 3-6 may enroll in enrichment. Enrichment is Sundays from 12:45-1:45, and each session runs for 4 weeks. Each session costs $50. Select which sessions you wish to enroll your child in. Dates will be forthcoming. ______Beginning Conversational Hebrew—Sundays 12:45-1:45. Students learn the basics of modern conversational Hebrew. ______Jewish Cooking—Sundays 12:45-1:45. Students explore (and eat!) the richness of Jewish cuisine while learning about the fundamentals of Kashrut. ______Sacred Prayers—Sundays 12:45-1:45. After reading and studying selected prayers students will explore what prayer means to them through the creation of their own individualized siddur. ______Tikkun Olam—Sundays 12:45-1:45. Students will delve into the concept of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) through different opportunities in our community such as visiting the sick, hospitality, and tzedakah. ______Passports, Please—Sundays 12:45-1:45. In each session students will “travel” to a unique place in Israel, studying the geography, culture, and history of each place. After each visit students will create a postcard, sharing their experiences with their friends and family.
Madrichim Program Beth Sholom’s madrichim are post b’nai mitzvah youth who volunteer as classroom aides. First year madrichim must attend a monthly workshop designed to develop leadership and classroom management skills. Second year madrichim participate in a mentoring program in which a madrich is paired with a student in the Religious School and provides tutoring to the student, as well as serving as a Big Brother or Big Sister. ______First- year madrich ______Second-plus year madrich To be filled out by madrich: 1.

Teddy bears Emerge from Winter Wonderland to Go Under the Sea
This month the Teddy bears classes are learning about life under the sea. We read the story of Rainbow Fish, who ultimately shared his beautiful rainbow fins with the other fish under the sea despite not wanting to at first. It is a wonderful story about sharing. We made our own rainbow fish that are hanging in our classroom “ocean!” We also made coral, crabs and octopi! In February, the bears learned about the presidents when we cel-ebrated Presidents Day and learned the story of Purim.
Early in January, despite so little snow outside, the Teddy bears turned their classroom into a winter wonderland with handmade snowflakes and sassy snowmen! We even built a large snowman inside. The children voted to name him Snow Skywalker.
Prior to winter break we celebrated Hanukkah by learning all about the Maccabees, Judah Macabee and the many miracles in the Hanukkah story. We made keepsake menorahs, dreidels and lit our felt menorah each night!
Earlier in December we talked about dinosaurs. The kids are amazing at remembering dino facts and really enjoy this unit. We learned what carnivores, herbivores, and omni-vores eat. We also learned about a dozen different dinosaurs. Ask your child how wide is the wingspan of a pterodactyl? The children lay head to feet across the classroom to see just how wide a dinosaur could be!
In addition to all of our curriculum points, we also enjoyed dance with Ms. Whitney! Your children can really get down! They love their 30- minute class, where they learn coordination, counting, movement and rhythm.
Finally, while we are playing inside quite a bit right now when the weather is cold and wet, we will be trying to get outside once is dries up a little. As a reminder, please send your child to school with a jacket. The playground is shady and gets rather chilly.
our tree of life celebrates Joyous life cycle eVeNts
Members and friends commemorate joyous milestones in the lives of their families and friends. Beth Sholom’s Tree of Life, designed by our congregant Sid Kandel, is a unique and beautiful work of art that includes space for special commemorative plaques. The plaques are the leaves of the Tree and the rocks beneath represent the ground from which every tree is born. We have a second Tree of Life waiting to be dedi-cated. Leaves may be purchased for $108 and may be used for events such as b’nai mitzvah, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, Confirmation and community service.
Please contact Janet or Marcia in the synagogue office, 301-663-3437, to order your leaf or to dedicate our new Tree of Life. Rocks may also be purchased for $600 each.
