HAPPY 65TH BIRTHDAY ISRAELYom Ha Atzma’ut: Tuesday, April 16Community Celebration: Sunday, April 28, Siegel JCC
I t is so easy to take the modern miracle of the birth of the first Jewish state in more than2000 years for granted. We either get so caught up in the soap opera-like dramas of
Israel’s internal political machinations, or we become so frustrated with the lack ofmovement in the peace process, that we tend to become jaded to the miracle of the 14th ofMay 1948.
...על הנסים ועל הפרקןWe thank You for the miraculous deliverance, for the heroism, and for the triumphs in battle of
our ancestors in other days, and in our time...-Amidah, Siddur Sim Shalom
The editors of our daily prayer book, in the Conservative Movement, added a unique prayerwithin the gratitude prayer, Modim, in the Amidah, so we would elevate the annual birthdayof the State of Israel into a prayerful moment. Although no sacrifices were brought to the
Temple on Yom Ha Atzma’ut (as the Temple had been destroyed some 2000 years earlier), nevertheless the custom in oursynagogue is to sing Hallel, in a full voice, every Yom Ha Atzma’ut so we will be further reminded what a miracle Israel’sexistence is to our people.
I teach a class on Israel, centering on engagement, with our teenagers enrolled in our twice-monthly Confirmation program. Inour last session, in a course designed by the prestigious Jerusalem-based Shalom Hartman Institute, I spoke of Sovereignty andNational Identity. I tried to explain to our students how important it is for Jews to finally be able to defend themselves, and notrely on the kindness of others – kindness which could be very fickle. I shared that one of the huge benefits of national Jewishsovereignty is living in a country where you feel truly at home. From personal experience, I shared how amazing it is to be livingin a Jewish state that is completely kosher for Passover, where everyone has off for not one, but BOTH days of Rosh Hashana,and Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. I shared how amazing it is to live Jewish life in Sensurround,where on Friday afternoon you can smell the aroma of fresh-baked challah from all the bakeries, where you can see lit Shabbatcandles in people’s windows, where you hear the growing quiet as restful Shabbat descends on a chaotic week.
I recently came back from the three-day AIPAC Conference, and what touched me the most, was the pure joy people had for theState of Israel. Speaker after speaker, from a brave IDF Soldier who made aliyah from England, to a heroic mountain climberwho gave up his dream to be the youngest Israeli to scale Mount Everest in favor of saving a stranded Turkish climber near thesummit, who was close to death. After lamenting the disconnect and lack of civility between Democrat and Republicanlawmakers, it was heartening to see and hear how their support for Israel united them. While lobbying Senators Carper andCoons, and Representative Carney on foreign aid for Israel, diplomatic support for Israel in the shadow of Iran’s growing nuclearthreat, and upgrading Israel’s status to Strategic Partner, it was exciting to learn how enthusiastic, committed and well-informedour Delaware Congressional Delegation was on all the issues facing Israel. We are blessed with supportive friends in Washington– the most enthusiastic being our own Vice President Joe Biden, who said he first learned support for the creation of a Jewishstate back in his childhood, at the family dining room table.
I want to keep that love of Israel alive in YOU! Please join me and our fellow Delawareans on Sunday, April 28, at the SiegelJCC for two Todd Herzog Musical Concerts on Lag B’Omer, (11:00am-Noon for the PJ Library 0 to 5 group and , 2:00-4:00pm for the ENTIRE Community. I, along with my fellow rabbis, am proud to be a co-sponsor of this musical program.
Please join me the following Sunday, May 5, from 6:00-8:00pm, at the Delaware Art Museum, for Peace Drums: A GalileanSteel Band Roll Out Event. As co-chair, I am working with fellow Jews and committed Christian clergy dedicated to Arab-Jewish peacemaking, to invest in a new, start-up peace project in the Galilee, between Jewish and Arab youth living in the Jewishregion of Misgav and the Arab village of Ibillin, featuring the learning and performance of Jamaican built steel drums.
And please mark your calendars now for mid-June 2014, for our first-ever joint CBS-AKSE Ten-Day Group Trip to Israel.The trip will be co-led by both Rabbi Saks and myself, through Ayelet Tours, and organized by our own Ceil Roth. This will be afamily-friendly trip, with special madrichim (counselors) for our children, with enough variety so even if you went with CBS fiveyears ago, you will have totally new experiences. Please drop me an email, [email protected] if you are interested inattending our Israel Trip or our return trip to the National AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, DC next March.
Above all, find a special, unique way to celebrate Israel’s 65th birthday – and always stay alive to the miracle of the first Jewishstate in more than two thousand years.

OUR CANTORISRAEL AT 65!
F ive years ago, I was blessed with the privilege of living in Israel for a year. My firstof five formal years of study in the H.L. Cantorial School was held in Jerusalem.
Upon graduating from the University of California in Santa Barbara, I packed my bagsand embarked on what I now consider to be one of the best years of my life. Thinkingback, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. That year I studied intensive modernHebrew at a local Ulpan and took Judaic classes at the Conservative Yeshiva five daysper week. I would live for my Fridays in the Old City of Jerusalem exploring the sights,smells, and tastes of each neighborhood. Every time I would pray at the Kotel, theWestern Wall, I would become overwhelmed with emotion, as if it was my very firsttime seeing and touching it. Every week I used to get excited to walk a mile each wayfrom my apartment to the Mahane Yehudah Shuk where I would buy the most deliciousand authentic hummus, borekas, dried fruits and nuts, challah, fruits and vegetables,rugelach, and Israeli salads. I used to look forward to hearing the shuk vendors bargainwith customers, and I especially loved experiencing the mad rush of furious shoppingbefore the start of Shabbat followed by a peaceful hush over the city right around sun-
down on Friday afternoons. The aroma of Shabbat dinner combined with the beautiful sound of prayer made Shabbat anincredibly special experience each week.Probably the most memorable part of my year in Israel was being able to celebrate Israel’s 60th birthday in the city ofJerusalem. I remember the excitement in the air for weeks leading up to this special milestone. On erev Yom Ha’atzmaut,many of us went out for a celebratory meal followed by a night of festive celebrating on Ben Yehudah Street. People wereliterally dancing and singing in the streets holding Israeli flags and with faces painted blue and white. Famous Israeli singerscame and sang and helped to make the day one of the happiest in history. I have vivid memories of feeling choked upthinking about this incredible milestone and all of the obstacles the people of Israel have endured to allow the state toflourish.I can’t believe that it has already been five years since this incredible moment in history, as Israel is turning 65 this month. Ihave never been more proud to be a Jew and loyal supporter of Israel. When a person turns 65, I believe he or she has theright to brag about their many accomplishments in life. That being said, I would like to brag about the many of Israel’saccomplishments! Here are some of Israel’s many achievements, courtesy of the Jewish Federation:
Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.In 1984 and 1991, Israel airlifted a total of 22,000 Ethiopian Jews at risk in Ethiopia to safety in Israel.Israel has more museums per capita than any other country.Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population in the world.Israeli scientists developed the first fully computerized, no-radiation, diagnostic instrumentation for breast cancer.Israel's Givun imaging developed the first ingestible video camera, so small it fits inside a pill. Used to view
the small intestine from the inside, the camera helps doctors diagnose cancer and digestive disorders.Israel has two official languages: Hebrew and Arabic.When Golda Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 1969, she became the world's second elected
female leader in modern times.The cell phone was developed in Israel by Motorola, which has its largest development center in Israel.Israel has the highest percentage in the world of home computers per capita.According to industry officials, Israel designed the airline industry's most impenetrable flight security.
U.S. officials now look to Israel for advice on how to handle airborne security threats.Relative to its population, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on earth. Immigrants come in search of
democracy, religious freedom, and economic opportunity.
Israel has faced its share of challenges, yet has defied all odds and flourished even in the face of danger and hardship. Thisyear on Yom Ha’atzmaut as we celebrate Israel’s 65th birthday, I invite you to step back and think about how Israel hasimpacted your life as a Jew. Am Yisrael Chai!

LEGACY SOCIETY
THE BLESSINGS OF GIVING AND RECEIVING“Blessed are those who give without remembering. And blessed are thosewho take without forgetting.” - Bernard Meltzer
Your commitment to our Jewish community and our Jewish people beginswith you-- your strong sense of community and your desire to give back forthe many blessings you have received.
The enviable strength of our Jewish people lies within the fabric that bindsour generations; one to the other, L’Dor V’Dor. That connection begins withyour family legacy and extends to your charitable legacy, as a gift to ourcommunity. With your help, we will secure the future Jewish education ofour children along with our traditional Jewish values that have helped to build a strong and caring community for yourfamily.
During Passover, we were reminded of our frail condition at the hands of the Egyptians. Those days of persecution did notbegin or end with the Egyptians. We must be ever-mindful of what the future may have in store for us and our generationsto come.
Our Legacy Society is a wonderful place to start, in determining what to leave behind as your legacy. By cementing ourJewish history with the future, we can build and provide a secure foundation for future generations.
For more information about how you may create a Jewish legacy, please contact the Legacy Society [email protected]. One of our committee members will follow up with you.

community to help them through a difficult period in their lives.More than 70 volunteers from five 9th Ward Congregations,including Beth Shalom – worked together in an interfaith projectknown as Family Promise. The families each had a bedroomcomplete with air mattresses and curtains at Peninsula-McCabe.Volunteers prepared the rooms, cooked and served meals and atewith the families, while others came in the evenings just tosocialize. It also gave volunteers a chance to get to know nice,friendly people who just happen to be homeless at this time, and asa side benefit, to get to know and work with members of othercongregations.
