FROM RABBI BIRNHOLZ
Last month I circulated a sermon voicing my concern
about missionary activity in our Hillsborough Public Schools.
Newspaper reports suggested that Superintendent Jeff Eakins
endorsed this activity when he made positive remarks about a
proselytizing group called First Priority.
faith-based like Young Life, First
Priority and many church groups are
run by adults. But as long as they
allow the students to run the clubs,
they are considered “student-led.”
The Jewish Community Relations Chair, Jon Ellis, and I have
since spoken with the Superintendent’s assistants. I am happy
to report they have been very responsive. One First Priority
representative was banned from school grounds for the year for
not following community volunteer guidelines. A church was
asked to limit its exposure because volunteers did not follow
all the District rules for such activity. School officials have also
agreed to pay closer attention to the Jewish holiday calendar
to limit conflicts. The situation is not perfect, but we are making
progress.
This distinction is pretty suspect.
It is hard to consider First Priority a
“student-led” club when local adult
leaders post instructions on their
website for student-to student
proselytizing. Yet, if students rather
than adults are making the contact,
that passes for “student-led.”
Part of the issue is that the School District must follow Supreme
Court rulings when deciding what to allow. For example, the
Court says students can form clubs (including religious ones) at
all schools. Once a club has a faculty sponsor and a designated
place and time to meet, its student leaders and outside guests
can gather before and after school and during lunch. These
clubs cannot invite the same adult guests repeatedly, and no
adult may proselytize at any time. Clubs must allow equal access
to all students and may engage in the passive distribution of
information. Clearly, community volunteer groups which are

RABBI RICHARD BIRNHOLZ,
D.D., R.J.E.
If you go to the Hillsborough County Public Schools website
and look under Families/Community Information/Volunteering
in HCPS/Documents and Forms/Guidelines and Assurances, you
will find the rules all volunteers must follow when interacting
with schools.
Sometimes the District does not follow its own rules or
interprets them differently than I would. But the Superintendent’s
assistants are taking a second look at their practices and have
asked us to let them know when we think rules are being
broken. Frankly, school principals have a great deal of leeway
when it comes to enforcing these rules. With a District this large,
it is hard to monitor every school for infractions. Knowing this,
the District is going to assign more supervisors to oversee the
volunteer initiative.
A rule of thumb in life is that you can only control your own
behavior. If Jewish parents provide an active Jewish role model
for their children, make the observance of Jewish holidays a
priority, and participate fully in Jewish life, they can rest assured
they have done more to protect their children from missionaries
than by enforcing all the religious separation rules in the world.
The Jews of the Old World said it right when they whispered in
Yiddish: The talk of the children in the street is the talk of the
parents at home.

FROM THE PRESIDENT ─ BOB TANNENBAUM
So it's spring time again. My
eleven year old is playing baseball
again. The short Florida winter
is over. Flowers are blooming.
It’s primary season in a hotly
contested presidential election
with two diametrically opposed
candidates. It is Passover again. It
is time for Seders and time for me
and plagues and afikomen. I like
to recollect my childhood Seders
with my Grandpa Abe and Grandma Eva who lived in the
Bronx. My grandmother sure knew what the term fresh
fish was. She would have the whitefish carp swimming
around in her bathtub. They would have that reprieve
until it was ready for them to become gefilte fish. I won't
fill you in on that transformation; I will leave that for your
imagination. One time my grandfather forgot they were in
the tub and took a shower with the fish. Needless to say, my
grandmother became furious and we will not get into the
domestic violence that ensued. Needless to say, they both
survived but the carp fish did not.
Commission investigating an attack against Jews during
the British control of Palestine. Essentially, 300 years ago
there came to the new world a boat and its name was the
Mayflower. The landing of the Mayflower on Plymouth Rock
was a great historical event in England and America. But,
I'd like to ask any Englishman what day did the Mayflower
leave port … and I would like to ask the Americans the same
question. How many people were on the boat? Who were
their leaders? What kind of food did they eat? Does anyone
know?
Now go back more than 3300 years ago long before the
Mayflower. Our people left Egypt in a hurry. Today, every
Jew in the world knows what day he left. And we know what
food they ate. And we still eat that food every anniversary.
And we know who the leader was. And we sit down and tell
that story to our children and our grandchildren in order to
guarantee that it will never be forgotten. And we recite and
remember our two slogans: “now we may be enslaved but
next year we will be a free people”. Ben Gurion got it right;
the task of the Passover Seder is to pass down those values
to the next generation through tradition and celebration.
I read an article written by David Ben Gurion that I would
like to share with you. Ben Gurion gave this to The Peel

Nominating
Committee
Thanks to the outstanding generosity of the Buchman, Rachelson and
Weiner families, we began this year with a tremendous boost to our
Torah Circle. The Buchman-Rachelson-Weiner Torah Circle Challenge Gift
provided $75,000 to match all new and increased Torah Circle donations.
Because of this Challenge, each new or increased dollar is worth two!
As we hoped, the challenge sparked a raft of new and increased
contributions. We want to thank all of those who have contributed to
Torah Circle so far this year. Thank you for your donations!
But we have not yet received enough contributions to capture our
target. There still is time before this fiscal year ends to help us reach our
target. We need the help of everyone in the congregation who is eligible.
If you have already given, please consider an increase. If you have not
yet made a contribution, please do so now. Your donation is critical to
making Congregation Schaarai Zedek the great place that it is for all.

FROM RABBI FARB
The Dispute of Elijah’s Cup
You’ve heard the old joke: If you ask two Jews the same
question, you’ll get three different answers! We are a people
who love to debate and express our ideas, and we don’t
always agree with one another. We argue over politics,
sports, community organizations, and on and on. What you
may or may not know is that our Jewish tradition teaches
us that disagreement can actually be a good thing. It is a
part of how God designed human beings to exist with one
another in the world and make each other better.
In Hebrew it’s called “machloket l’shem shamayim,” which
translates to “a dispute for the sake of Heaven.” Jewish
tradition is full of such disputes between the famous rabbis
of old. One of them revolves around the Passover Seder.
We pour four cups of wine over the course of the seder
to symbolize the four statements of redemption that God
made (in Exodus 6:6-8): “I will draw you out,” “I will deliver
you,” “I will redeem you,” and “I will take you as my people.”
However, some rabbis believed that there should be a fifth
cup in honor of the fifth statement, “I will bring you to the
Land.”
For hundreds of years, the rabbis couldn’t agree on which
was right. The fifth statement speaks of arriving in the Land of
Israel, which some argued should not be included as part of
remembering the Exodus because it came later. Maimonides
wrote in the 13th century that the fifth cup was expected,
but optional. His own son later
recorded that Maimonides never
actually poured the fifth cup.
Eventually, our tradition came
to a decision – of a sort. We should
pour, but not drink the fifth cup.
It is said that one day the prophet
Elijah will come to announce the
coming of the Messiah, and at that
time he will also resolve all of the
remaining disputes. This is just one theory about why we
call it “Elijah’s Cup” (although there are other theories that
disagree).
What is the point of this whole story? It is twofold. First, we
see that our religion, culture, and peoplehood can persist
and even thrive in the face of deep disagreements, so long
as we honor the opinions of others. Second, it reveals that
the outcome of a dispute is not measured by who wins or
loses, or even if the matter is resolved. Rather, one of the
most beautiful and cherished Passover traditions arose
out of the very fact that a dispute was never resolved. Our
disagreements and disputes enrich and strengthen us, so
long as they are conducted “for the sake of Heaven.”
Rabbi Farb
The Early Days of Schaarai Zedek
Excerpts from the minutes of the Temple Board*
February 26, 1905: An attempt at reconciliation
between SZ and Rodef.
“The President stated…at the request of co-religionists,
that Mrs. E.H. Steinberg had called upon him, stating that
Congregation Rodef Sholom intended purchasing a lot for
a synagogue but before this was done she decided to see
if ways and means could not be devised whereby the two
Congregations could become affiliated…”
1905-1906: Another attempt at cooperation between
SZ and Rodef.
Many meetings were held with Rodef Sholom about
the possibility of joint ownership and control of their
cemeteries. They concluded with a vote at a social meeting
on March 11, 1906. The vote was 4 in favor and 9 against.
“The President thereupon declared the Resolution lost.”

Chair, for your information about our past history.

On April 4, please join us for the YES Fund Luncheon. The YES Fund is a
Women of Reform Judaism fund that supports projects for youth, education of
rabbis and cantors, and special projects. This year, we will be honoring Lindsey
Dewey for all she has done for our youth! Each year, our Sisterhood joins
together to raise money for this important fund and at the WRJ Assembly, we
won the Avodah award from WRJ for the largest contribution in our membership
category. To attend, all we ask is that you make a minimum donation of $36 to
the YES Fund plus $18 for lunch. Higher levels are certainly welcome! Thank you
to Faith Alexander and her committee for organizing this event. Say Yes to YES!
This month, we continue the fun and camaraderie of Sisterhood with a
Women’s Passover Celebration. We are planning a fun evening of kosher wine
tasting (yes, there is more than Mogen David), sharing our own favorite food
(there may even be a prize or two), singing, laughing and celebrating being
Jewish women as we get ready for the holiday. We hope that you will join us for
this evening event on Monday, April 11!

“My 3 Favorite Bible Stories in
Song and Word”
Wednesdays, April 6, 13, 20
7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
Teacher: Cantor Cannizzaro
Song is central to Judaism. We sing our
prayers and chant our Torah. Our sages were
known to call the Torah a song, and we can find
instances in Torah where our ancestors sang
unto God or were commanded to write a song.
Music speaks to something deeper than the mind and can open us to a
deeper understanding of the words we read, speak or hear.
Join Cantor Deborrah Cannizzaro as she takes a look at three instances
of song from Torah. We will look at the text, explore the portion from
which it comes, and listen to the many ways in which composers
understood its message. The words of Torah never change, but the music
can. It is through this musical interpretation that we can help make Torah
fresh and new for each generation.
RSVP to the Temple Office at (813) 876-2377 or office@zedek.org.
April 6: B’shallach is the parasha in which we find Shirat HaYam, the
Song that celebrates the crossing of the Sea of Reeds by the
Children of Israel. In this session, we will explore how this Song
has become central to our prayer service. We will explore the
special chanting of Shirat HaYam, and take a look at the many
melodies of the most famous quote from the Song of the Sea,
Mi Chamocha.
April 13: The Sh’ma is the first prayer taught to our children, and is the
last prayer we should utter before death. We are instructed to
recite it upon rising in the morning, and upon sleeping at night.
It declares the special relationship of God to the Jewish people
and is central to Judaism. In this session, we will explore the
origin of the Sh’ma, the different facets of God expressed by
the text, and the many musical settings that have been used to
express this declaration of faith.
April 20: Mah Tovu, Oh How Good. These words, from parasha Balak,
have long been a favorite text for synagogue composers to
set to music. In our third session, we will take at a look at the
dramatic story from which these words are drawn. Composers
have long realized that simply reciting these words could never
express the deeper emotional meaning they convey, nor the
dramatic physical and spiritual moment during which Balaam
