KEHILATH ISRAEL’S
Vol. 46, Issue 8
swwoc
August, 2010
We have just begun reading the fifth Book
of Moses, the Book of Deuteronomy. In it
Moses begins a series of addresses to the
Jewish people. Moses understood that
in order to make his message effective,
he needed to address the leaders, the
people responsible for transmitting
his words and ensuring that the nation
carried them out. Today, we must follow Moses’ example
by focusing our energies on the leadership entrusted with the
responsibility of carrying out the will of the American people.
Every American can help shape policy and opinion by getting
involved in the political process. As Jews, this is not just an
opportunity but a responsibility. Pro-Israel activists are able
to impact United States foreign policy towards Israel by taking
their message to their elected leaders and by building ongoing relationships in Washington. We must keep in touch with our Senators and Congressmen to ensure that our leaders
understand the necessity of continuing a strong U.S./
Israel relationship. AIPAC can help in this process.
K.I. has become the anchor and the seat of AIPAC in
Kansas City. Visit their website at www.aipac.org/takeaction
to find out how you can help affect American Israel policy.
On a more personal note, people often ask me where our
kids are and what they are doing these days. After all, all
four of them grew up at K.I. Aron was five and Seth two
years old when we arrived in Kansas City many years ago. Both Debbie and Miriam were born in Kansas City. We are
spending our summer vacation visiting with our kids. Aron
is 38 years old and is an immigration attorney in Houston,
Texas. He and his wife Chaia have five children, ages
ten and under. We are presently, as I write this article, in
Houston, sweltering in the heat, but greatly enjoying our
time with our grandchildren. This is one busy household! I cannot believe that I have a grandson, our eldest,
Sammie, who will be Bar Mitzvah in less than three years!
We have just returned from a visit with our daughter
Debbie, who recently graduated from law school and passed
the Bar in Illinois. She is presently seeking employment and
possibly relocating.
From Houston we will travel to New York City where
our son Seth and his wife Osa are both practicing Market
Researchers. Their daughter Molly is two and quite a handful. Miriam has returned temporarily to Kansas City

Av - Elul 5770
I am writing this article on my way
to Poland to visit my ancestral home.
It is hard to believe that the summer is
flying by quickly. Many exciting things
have happened at K.I. this summer. We
completed the Centennial Ad Book and
Directory which we hope to distribute
between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
I believe the Ad Book will be among the top grossing ad books
we have ever had thanks to our volunteers and ad participants.
Special thanks goes to Randi Haith, Cindy Singer, Elizabeth
Peden and the staff.
We also kicked off the first part of our strategic plan for the
second century of K.I. Karen Pack arranged two seminars
with David Stallings to help educate our leaders on financial
planning for non-for-profit organizations. The second phase
of the strategic plan will begin in August with the first of a
series of meetings to establish our new constitution and both
a short term and long term plan for the future of K.I.
I am also very excited about Grand Givers. Grand Givers
will be on November 6, 2010 at Kehilath Israel Synagogue.
Bonnie Siegel and Steve Osman, this year’s Grand Givers
chairmen, have planned a truly exciting program with a kickoff
cocktail party which will be hosted by Mary and myself at
our home on August 22nd. Anyone who would like to be a
Grand Giver or anyone who would like to try to be a Grand
Giver is invited. There will also be exciting entertainment at
the cocktail party.
Although the summer is rapidly disappearing, it has been
very productive. I want to thank all of our volunteers for
the wonderful work they do, and remind you that this is our
synagogue, and it will be whatever we want it to be.

President

There is an old
joke about the young
man who is being
questioned by his
future father-in-law
about how he intends
to support his daughter.
After every question
about how the young man was going
to earn a good living the young man
answers, “G-d will provide.” After the
interview, when the man’s wife asks him
what he thought about the young man,
he replies, “he’s a very fine young man,
and he even thinks that I’m G-d.”
As Jews, we have a tendency to sit
back and wait for G-d to provide us with
our needs as individuals and as a people.
However, if you remember the story of
the crossing of the Red Sea, we are told
that the sea did not split until Nachshon
walked into the water and the water
reached his chin. Only then did G-d
provide the miracle which allowed the
Israelite people to escape the Egyptian
army. When G-d provided the manna in
the desert, he could have had the manna
drop down at the entrance to everyone’s
tent, but he didn’t. The people had to
go out into the desert and find it, collect
it and carry it back to their respective
homes. There was no free ride. Once
again, when the Israelites entered the
land of Israel, G-d could have caused the
nations residing there to flee, but instead,
the Israelites had to conquer the land on
their own. Bottom line, G-d only helps
those who help themselves.
How do we maintain our Jewish
identity in an environment that is
constantly pulling us away? Can we just
put our faith in G-d that our families
will miraculously carry on the Jewish
traditions? Can we send them to a Jewish
school, give them a Bar/Bat Mitzvah and
hope that the teachers motivate them to
remain Jewish? Can we take them to
shul in the hopes that they will one day
recite the Kaddish for us? The answer to
these questions is, yes, however, there
is one more piece that is even more

TASHLICH
Tashlich is the custom of symbolically
casting one’s sins into running water and
is performed on the first day of Rosh
Hashanah. (Second day if first day is
Shabbat.)
This custom was mentioned for the
first time by Rabbi Jacob Meolin who
lived in the late fourteenth century.
One of the Biblical sources used in this
ceremony is the Book of Micah. The
prophet says, “Who is a G-d like Thee?
Thou who forgivest iniquity and passeth
over transgression. Thou will cast all our
sins into the depths of the sea.” Micah
elsewhere says, “What doth the Lord
require of thee but to do justly and to love
mercy and to walk humbly with thy
G-d.”
This is a perfect example of the fusion
of ritual and ethics in the Jewish prophetic
writings.
Please join in and participate in the
Tashlich service by meeting on the
first day of Rosh Hashanah, Thursday,
September 9 at 105th and Conser over
Indian Creek at approximately 6:30 p.m.
Tashlich will conclude in time to return to
the synagogue for the 7:10 p.m. Mincha
and Yom Tov Maariv.

KIDDUSH ON ROSH HASHANAH
Inasmuch as most prayerbooks do not contain the daytime Rosh Hashanah
Kiddush recited before luncheon upon returning home from the synagogue,
we are furnishing the text for your information:
Just a reminder that on Yom Kippur
night and all day, all laws of Shabbat
apply. Also, it is very important for
those of you affected by the Overland
Park Eruv to call the Eruv Hotline at
791-8080 late in the afternoon of the
eve of Yom Kippur to verify the Eruv
is “up” and functioning as we do on
the eve of every Shabbat.

ERUV TAVSHILIN
This year, with Rosh Hashanah, September 9 and 10; the first two days of Sukkot, September 23 and 24; and also, Shemini
Atzereth and Simchat Torah, September 30 and October 1, falling on a Thursday and Friday, the ritual of Eruv Tavshilin is
to be recited on all three of the Wednesdays before candlelighting.
When any major festival falls on a Friday, in order that it may be permissible to cook on that day for Saturday (one is
permitted to cook on a holiday for that day alone), the head of the household must perform the ritual of “Eruv Tavshilin”
before the festival. This ceremony should be performed late afternoon on Wednesday, September 8 before Rosh Hashanah,
Wednesday late afternoon on the eve of Sukkot; and Wednesday late afternoon the eve of Shemini Atzereth. This consists
of taking some bread and some other food, such as fish or meat, putting them on a plate, raising it and then reciting the
following prayers:

Blessed art Thou, Eternal our G-d, Ruler of the Universe. Who made us holy with His commandments, and commanded
us concerning the Eruv. With this Eruv it shall be permissible for us to bake, cook and to keep the food warm; to light the
candles, and to prepare all necessary things on the festival for the Sabbath. This shall be permitted to us and to all Jews who
live in this city.
The food for this ceremony is to be eaten on Shabbat Shuvah, September 11; Shabbat Chol Hamoed Sukkot, September
25, and Shabbat Bereshit, October 2.

from having spent several years in Israel and is in the
process of looking to relocate to a major US city to
pursue a career in government using her language
skills (she speaks a number of languages fluently).
So much for our nachas. I normally do not share very
much of our personal life with the congregation. But from
time to time people ask where our kids are and how they are
doing; so I thought a mid-summer update about our travels
and their lives would be of interest to at least some of you.
I hope that your summer travels have been safe and that
you continue to enjoy perhaps a lighter schedule during
the summer months, and hopefully we will see each other
soon. I will actually have returned to the Kansas City area
well before the time you will receive this Focal Point.
Barbara joins me in wishing all of you a happy, healthy
and safe summer (for the part of it that is left)!

Rabbi Herbert J. Mandl, PhD
important than all the others, and that is providing a Jewish
atmosphere in the home. It has to be a package deal; otherwise
we are just hoping that G-d will provide.
The same approach must be used in regard to the survival
of Israel. We should not, and can not, sit back and wait for a
miracle. Since 1948, the Israelis have demonstrated that only
when we take responsibility for our own future will G-d lend
his support, and if you think that miracles only happened in
Biblical times, just look at what Israel has become in just
60 years. However, Israel’s survival is based on constant
vigilance, not just on the part of the Israelis, but on our part
as well. We cannot afford to sit back and hope that others will
fight for Israel and that all will be ok, or G-d will provide. We
need to do whatever is in our power to help Israel survive.
Whether it be financial support, political support, PR support
or by visiting Israel and letting the Israelis know that they do
not stand alone, we must demonstrate to the world that we
are Am Echad, one people, and we are here to stay. Only then
will G-d provide!

K.I. Men’s Club has purchased an Emergency Heart Defibulator

vcr vsu,
...We would like to thank Sheldon and Eunice Snitz for
seeing to it that the Focal Point goes out.
The Synagogue House Committee is striving to keep our
Synagogue looking nice, warm and inviting. Although we walk
the facility and try to see items that need attention, we will not
see everything. Therefore, we invite all the members to please
give us comments. We welcome and want your input.
An old management story goes like this... A tenant had a
leaky faucet for months. When it came time to renew his lease
the tenant was irate and told the landlord off about the leaky
faucet. The problem was the tenant never reported the leak
and the owner had no way of knowing. The committee wants
every member to tell us about problems you see and suggestions you have...

EVER WONDER HOW A TORAH IS MADE?
Details from Alef - Tet.
(Reprinted courtesy of babaganewz.com, a publication of Behrman House, Inc.)
1
A sofer (person who writes the
Torah) doesn’t use any old printer
paper! A sofer must use parchment,
which is the hide of a kosher animal.
Unlike computer paper, parchment can
last for hundreds of years.
2
First the hide is soaked in lime
water.
3
Then, seven days later, the hair can
be easily removed, creating a clean
hide.
10
The next step is to prepare
the diyo (ink). The sofer
uses a very old recipe that
includes gallnuts, vitriol (sulfuric
acid), and gym Arabic.
11
The soferr can begin
writing (carefully!). The
sofer copies the words from a
book and connot write even a
letter from memory.
12
After that, the hide is stretched
into a wooden frame and is dried
for many days. The dried parchment
is called klaf.
4
No mistakes can be
ignored. Some mistakes
can be fixed, but any mistake
when writing G-d’s name means
that the sheet cannot be used.
5
The klaf is then sanded. Believe it
or not, this type of power tool really
is used.
13
Some of the letters have
extra special designs
called tagin. They look like little
crowns on the letters.
6
14
The process of soaking, stretching,
drying and sanding the hide is
repeated several times.
7
The klaf is cut into a rectangular
sheet called a yeriah.
8
The yeriah is prepared with
indented lines called sirtut. This
lets the sofer write the Torah in even,
straight lines.
10
9
The, the sofer prepares the
quill for writing. It is called
a kulmus. The kulmus was
traditionally a feather or a reed.
But can be made from other
materials, too.
www.kisyn.org
The completed yeriot
(sheets of parchments)
are then sewn tougher with a
special thread called giddin.
15
The long stretch of
parchment is placed on
wooden rollers called the atzei
hayim (trees of life).
16
The Torah is now complete
and ready for use.

YEAR OF JEWISH LEARNING
Mark your calendar for an exciting community program: “Day
of Discovery – Explore the Joy of Jewish Learning in Kansas City.”
The fourth annual event will be held from 8:45 a.m. – 2:45 p.m.,
at the Jewish Community Campus on Sunday, August 22, 2010.
Learn, study, and discover with some of Kansas City’s finest Jewish
educators, rabbis, and cantors, who will lead sessions on a wide
range of topics. Topics include Jewish perspectives on mysticism,
rituals, Israel, childrearing and interfaith relations, among many
others.
Registration and a continental breakfast begin at 8:45 a.m. Two
optional minyans will be offered at 8:15 a.m. in either an egalitarian
or a traditional learner’s style. Throughout the day, three study
sessions are programmed. Choose the topic of your choice from
over twenty different presenters. A lunch break and opportunity
to mingle start at 12:15 p.m. Following the program, stay for a
delicious dessert reception.
The cost to participate in the “Day of Discovery” is $20 per
person, which includes classes, materials, box lunch from Hen
House, continental breakfast and dessert. The cost is $12 per person
if not purchasing lunch. Childcare for children ages 3 months up to
6 years of age will be available throughout the day for a small fee. Registration and lunch reservations are due by Monday, August 16. Register early as space is limited for some sessions.
The program is co-sponsored by The Rabbinical Association of

COMMUNITY-WIDE COURSE: “JUDAISM FOR
CONVERSION CANDIDATES”
BEGINS IN FALL
The Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas will offer a
community-wide course, “Judaism for Conversion Candidates”
beginning August 26. The year-long course will be taught on
a rotating basis by rabbis from the Reform, Conservative and
Orthodox movements and is intended to acquaint those considering
conversion to Judaism with what it means to live Jewishly. Each
student will be required to secure a congregational rabbinic sponsor
by November 1st and meet the conversion requirements developed
by their rabbinic sponsor.
The class provides a comfortable forum for students to learn
about Jewish holidays, home celebrations, life-cycle observances,
rituals and Jewish prayer, Torah, Judaism’s view of God, and about
our religion’s movements. Each class will include a 30-minute
Hebrew component. Participants will combine Jewish learning with
Jewish “doing” as they become part of a shared community and
create Jewish memories by taking part in a Shabbat and Havdalah
experience. They will also participate in holiday celebrations
and observances. This course allows future Jews-by-choice the
18
opportunity to meet one another and to learn not only about Judaism
but also about the Kansas City Jewish community.
Classes will take place on Thursday evenings from 7:00-9:00
p.m. and will rotate among the synagogues. The fee is $360 per
person and includes course textbooks. For additional information
or to register for this course, please contact Annette Fish, Rabbinical
Association Administrator/Program Director, 913.327.4622, by
email at afprogram@aol.com or visit kcrabbis.org. Linda Cohen
is the course coordinator and Rabbi Rob Tobin is the Rabbinic
coordinator.
Funding for this program is provided by The Jewish Heritage
Foundation of Greater Kansas City.

K.I. BLUE RIDGE CEMETERY
MEMORIAL SERVICE
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2010
This year the Annual Kehilath Israel Blue Ridge
Cemetery Memorial Service is scheduled to be held on
Sunday, September 12, the Sunday before Yom Kippur,
at 11:00 a.m.
The annual Yamim Noraim service, led by Rabbi Herbert
J. Mandl and Hazzan Jeffrey Shron will be held in the
Jack Chernikoff-Louis Dolginow Memorial Chapel at
the Kehilath Israel Blue Ridge Chapel, 1901 Blue Ridge
Boulevard, Independence, Mo.
It is the Jewish tradition, during this High Holiday period
to visit the Kever Ovot, the graves of our forebearers. Since
it would be inconvenient for many to attend the service
on a weekday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur,
Sunday, September 12 was selected.
Customarily, each individual recites the K.I. Molay
Rachamim prayer, a “Prayer of Consolation” at the
gravesite of their loved ones. The chapel prayer booklets
are available at the gravesite. There are a selection of
prayers in the booklet, pages 65 through 74, in both Hebrew
and English. It is requested the booklets be returned to the
chapel, before leaving the cemetery.
Although the cemetery is maintained by the Kehilath
Israel Synagogue, the major building improvements, new
walkways, monuments and other beautification is done
primarily by private contributions. If you desire to assist
in the program to improve and beautify the cemetery, an
envelope for your contribution, to this worthy cause, is
available at the desk, near the front door of the Chapel. You may leave your check or cash, in the envelope, seal it,
drop it in the slot on the desk, or mail your contribution to
K.I. Blue Ridge Cemetery, 10501 Conser, Overland Park,
KS 66212. MONUMENT UNVEILING
