Reflections from

Caren Zorman
Chai 5 - Next Steps
We’re moving on and I’m so excited! I am pleased to an-
nounce that the Chai 5 Campaign to hire a second clergy
has received Board approval to proceed to the next step of
the hiring process – interviewing.
At the December board meeting, trustees heard an update from Co-Chair Deborah
Gonzalez on the status of the Campaign. The original goal of $324,000 was de-
vised based on a three-year salary, inclusive of payroll taxes and other govern-
ment obligations. As of today, the Campaign has raised approximately 80% of the
goal, with special recognition to Rowena Fahn for her gift of $80,000.
There are 34 families who have pledged the “full” amount of $1,080 per year for
three years; there are 29 families who have pledged “half” of the amount for three
years; and then there are others who have pledged one year at a time. All of the
Trustees have pledged to the campaign, as well. And there are those that have
said that you want to take a “wait and see” approach before you commit.
Last year, in the hopes that we would hire someone, applications were completed
for the Cantorial Assembly as well as the Rabbinical Assembly. Given the late-
ness of our application (early winter is best) and our lack of sufficient funding,
our efforts were for naught. Now, with increased funding, we can send a contin-
gent to New York to interview soon-to-be graduates from the Jewish Theological
Seminary (JTS) in February and, perhaps, another contingent to Long Beach, Cal-
ifornia to interview more experienced rabbis later on in the month.
Once the search committee, chaired by First Vice-President Jonathan Lightman,
has had a chance to review resumes and hear feedback from those who attended
the interview sessions, candidates will be interviewed again via Skype or other
modern telecommunications mediums. After that, in the spring, candidates will
be flown out to Sacramento for a “trial run” on a Shabbat with feedback to the
search committee. Once all of the candidates have had an opportunity to come out
and experience the awe and magic of Mosaic Law, a decision will be rendered
with the new clergy starting in August – in time for the High Holydays of 5774
(which is incredibly early this year – like Labor Day!).
And so begins a new chapter in the history of Mosaic Law – one that will see
membership growth, piqued interest and building excitement in what the new
cantor or rabbi will bring to our congregation, community and city. It’s a very
exciting time to be a part of this very special kehilla.

From the Men’s Club - Alex Zamansky
Hello from the Men’s Club!
Magic Johnson was once paraphrased JFK by saying, “Ask not what
your teammates can do for you, but what you can do for your team-
mates.” I can tell you, from where I sat during our annual Latke Cup
on December 22nd, in spite of losing a close and heated matchup,
unselfish ballplay was a consistent theme for our Mosaic Law Lions.
Thank you Steve Turtletaub for your time and for coaching this squad
of talented athletes. Additionally, the Men’s Club teamed up with the
B’nai Israel Brotherhood and Jeff Shulman to sponsor the latke recep-
tion that followed. Needless to say, all 300 latkes were eaten!
Look for announcements and updates for our next big event, the MLC
World Series of Poker, on February 9th in the Social Hall. Buy-in is
$20 and there will be beverages, snacks and entertainment. Did I men-
tion that there is a top prize of $500? Proceeds from this event will go
directly to benefit our shul. Check out the Mosiac Law Facebook page
for updated information as we get closer.
Lastly, if you haven’t joined Men’s Club and wish to, please contact
myself or anyone on our Executive Board, as we will be happy to give you information on upcoming social events that
you may find interesting. We are looking to add one more Executive Member at-Large so if you are interested, please
contact me directly at [email protected].
B’Shalom.

Friedman Courtyard
Brick Update
For every life there is a story... days of wonder and
achievenment, and inevitably, times of sorrow. What
better way to permanently mark the passages and
milestones that effect our Mosaic Law Family lives,
than to have them permanently inscribed on a brick
and placed in the MLC Courtyard. We are anxious
to get started with this years order of bricks. If you
would like to be included, please pick up an order
form in the office. The cost of each brick is $125.00.
If you have any questions, call contact the office or
talk to Judy Persin.

Sunday, January 20th at 10am - The Jewish Genealogi-
cal Society of Sacramento Presents: Reconstructing
Family Information From Almost Nothing. Janice
Sellers will provide a case study demonstrating techniques
and sources allowing the reconstruction of seven genera-
tions of a family. The immigrant ancestors of the family
came from Eastern Europe to rural western Pennsylvania
in the mid-1800s. Her search began with the slimmest of
information - a town name, one person's last name, a mar-
ried woman's first name and a third person's occupation.
A key clue was a newspaper obituary. Janice Sellers is a
professional genealogist who specializes in newspaper and
Jewish research. She is the editor of two genealogy jour-
nals and a member of numerous genealogy societies,
including the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogi-
cal Society. Janice has volunteered for 12 years at the
Oakland Family Search Library. All are welcome to attend
the January 20, 2013, 10 a.m. meeting at the Albert
Einstein Residence Center, 1935 Wright St., Sacramento.

There is a saying in our Talmud: “Who shares in the com-
munity’s troubles will also share in its consola-
tion” (Ta’anit 11a).
Our synagogue offers short-term counseling with a volun-
teer professional licensed therapist. Rande Zaretsky, a
licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), has of-
fered her services to the members of our congregation.
Counseling is a process of confidential discussions with a
trained licensed therapist. With the support of an objective
therapist you can identify and develop alternative coping
skills. Appointments are open to children, teens, adults
and couples of all ages. Rande will have private office
hours on Tuesdays, hours to be arranged. Alternative ar-
rangements may also be available.
A fee to the synagogue of $36 is to be paid at each ses-
sion. No one will be turned away because of inability to
afford the fee, but everyone will be expected to pay some-
thing.
To schedule a confidential appointment, please call (916)
488-1166 and upon hearing the recording, immediately
enter extension 25 to leave a message. Be sure to speak
clearly and slowly, leaving your name and phone number.
Rande will be checking for messages twice each day and
will return calls within 24 hours, Mondays through Thurs-
days.
Should you have any questions about this program, please
contact Rabbi Taff. Strict confidentiality will be main-
tained.
