MAZEL TOV TO OUR BAT MITZVAH CLASS OF 2014-2015 Megan Edelstein Katie Frisch Eleanor Greenspan Lindsay Hayes Allegra Kastner Tiffany Miller Alicia Pearl Ohayon Renee Pascal Lisa Rosenthal Sierra Sacks Dina Seleznev Alexandra Sheppard Sophie Susnick-Foxen Gwen Uditsky 3 February-March 2015 AN APP CALLED ‘VENT’ Have you ever felt like you needed to talk and share with someone for no reason other than needing to get something off your chest? “A problem shared is a problem halved” we have been led to believe, or in the words of the Psalmist “Cast your cares on Hashem and He will sustain you...”(Psalm 55:22). There seems to be a cathartic experience in being able to talk to others and in so doing we unburden ourselves from the weight we carry around with us. Even if we are not answered there is something redemptive about being able to talk to others and share our inner concerns. By being able to express what is within and bringing it outside of ourselves there is a magical quality of the issue (whatever it is) no longer being as insurmountable or scary as it once was. In our technological age where apps substitute for real life encounters and social media platforms replace human interaction it comes as no surprise, although a fair amount of pessimism that there now exists the ‘VENT’ App. Appealing to our inner voices that are too timid to be raised in public the app allows for anyone to get of their chests and vent about practically anything. The app presents the opportunity to: “connect, share and express some of the more frustrating aspects of life. Voice your opinion to our supportive community without the worry of being insulted or disrespected, de-friended or upsetting people you know.” Oy Vey – now we can kvetch and never have to worry about the guilt. The inherent problem with this type of program (and all like it) is that it’s virtual. The people we are sharing with have no connection to us nor we to them. A listening ear helps because we know the identity of the person whose ear it is! The truth is we all need to talk and share and sometimes even ‘get off our chests’ the issues of the day. It is a part of what makes us human. Talking helps. Through communication we become our deepest selves and ultimately more amenable to the world around us. There is a famous scene early on in the Megillat Esther when King Achashverosh is angry with Vashti but he is not able to share with anyone his rage. Instead the king keeps everything pent up inside and the verse describes him as one whose: “anger burned within him” (Esther 1:12). Biblical commentators are intrigued with this description, leading one commentator to say: You see – this is why everyone should have a friend. Because the king had no one to talk to, his anger stayed inside – hence it “burned within him”. By sharing our feelings, expressing our true selves and being able to talk to those we feel close with we unburden our worries and life becomes a little lighter. This Purim remember to celebrate, to hear the megillah, give out gifts to the poor, charity to the needy and maybe even dress up. But most of all, remember to speak with the ones you love and tell them how you are feeling. You may not find a solution, but I bet it will make you feel better. Happy Purim!

The Dollard des Ormeaux congregation donated over $100,000 worth of new clothing to the Mada Community Centre, Sun Youth and the Old Brewery Mission as part of the first annual Beth Tikvah Holiday Mission. “There is no question that a greater number of families in Montreal are facing economic hardships. The ups and downs of the economy continue to take a heavy toll on families,” the congregation’s Rabbi Mark Fishman said in a statement. “The Beth Tikvah Holiday Mission is all about community, sharing and helping those in need which is a great testament to the human spirit.” Each charity received between three to five pallets, worth around $30,000$35,000 of new t-shirts, sweaters, jackets and more on December 16. Rabbi Fishman launched the mission earlier this year, with the hope of establishing an annual staple in the West Island. The synagogue, which received the donated clothing from its annual bazaar from a number of manufacturers, has already upped the challenge for next year, setting a goal of $250,000 worth of new clothes. Congregation Beth Tikvah was founded in 1964 by a group of young families who were considered pioneers of Jewish life in the West Island. Published by The Chronicle – December 18, 2014 Special thanks to Groupe Sculnick Transportation for graciously donating transportation. 7 February-March 2015 Welcome back from the holiday break. I hope it was relaxing and restful and trust you feel rejuvenated and cannot wait to become involved in the second half of this CBTASNH year. I must begin by thanking the bazaar team led by Esther Topas and Ellen Rudnitsky. Bazaar is an endurance test...there is no beginning and no end...merchandise is continuously being collected throughout the year...but you only get to experience the actual bazaar during approximately three weeks in the fall. There are many many many people who do share in various chores and I wish to thank them profusely for their support and effort. As we begin this second half of the year we are aware of the terrible violence taking place around the world. We want to be careful in protecting our building and everybody in it and thus are in constant contact with everyone who is able to assist. We hire extra security when necessary but want each and every one to be extra aware whenever you are in and around the synagogue building to please report any activity you feel is unusual. Our new website will keep you up to date on all our new programs coming up at CBTASNH. This is a phenomenal and enjoyable tool to surf through to see what is and what will be taking place in the future. You should make it a habit to scroll through and not miss anything. Would you like to volunteer at Le Café at the Cummings Centre? We normally try to send eight people and are planning a return visit sometime in February/March and we would like to volunteer again for this worthy cause. Please call the synagogue office and put your name down. Le Café provides hot, kosher meals in a warm, respectful environment to people most affected by the global economic crisis. Roll up your sleeves and help nourish our community! We look forward to our 'New Member' Shabbat dinner which will be held on February 13 and to the many events planned. CBTASNH exists only because of you and only for you...no other reason!!! Sometimes it is difficult to get started but once you enter the synagogue, for whatever reason, the benefits, the new friends, whatever your needs may be, you will be paid back no end. Try us...just once...you will not be disappointed.

All the students learned Chanukah lessons – topics included the Maccabees, olive oil, customs, traditions, miracles and more. The Mechina class created a beautiful Chanukah display for our bulletin board. They showed us that not only Chanukah candles shine bright, our students do as well! The highlight of the day was the special school-wide family Chanukah party, hosted by the Hebrew Academy Parent Committee. Everyone enjoyed the talent show where each grade performed a special Chanukah skit, poem or song. Rabbi Fishman shared wonderful Chanukah stories. Cantor Pomerantz and his daughter Yehudit led the blessings, the lighting of the Chanukah candles and a sing-a-long. Pizza and latkes were served afterwards. We are sure everyone had a great time and enjoyed their special Chanukah gift bags. A big TODAH RABAH to Marla Litvack, Rhonda Skolnick, Robin Lassner, Rachel Shizgal, Adam Muscott, Tara Jesion, Jodi Kornfeld, and Heidi Markel for all their hard work! 9 February-March 2015 10 Shevat – Nisan 5775 Ages up to 4 years old Parent participation is required JANUARY & FEBRUARY BIRTHDAY SHABBAT February 7th for ages 1-12 The entire Mishpacha is invited to celebrate your child’s birthday.

Drinking wine, merry-making and mockery are indulged in on Purim, but drunkenness is discouraged. We eat our fill and pamper ourselves, because it is the Jews who Haman sought to destroy. PURIM – DID YOU KNOW? Esther's Hebrew name was Hadassah? - “Esther” is Persian. King Achashverosh searched four years for a queen, during which he considered more than 1400 contestants, before choosing Esther? G-d's name is not mentioned even once in the entire Book of Esther? The Hebrew word Mishteh, meaning banquet, occurs 20 times in the Book of Esther - which is equal to the total of all the other times it is found in the rest of the Bible? There is a "Queen Esther" Street in Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv? 20 Shevat – Nisan 5775 PURIM TODAY There are Four Mitzvot specific to the holiday of Purim: Reading the Megillah (Scroll of Esther) Festivity and Rejoicing (the Purim meal) Sending Food to Friends (Mishloach Manot) Giving gifts to the poor (Matanot La'evyonim) The Book of Esther is read on Purim night, and again the next day. Every word must be clearly heard. We read it in the synagogue, because the larger the crowd, the greater publicity is given to the miracle of our salvation. THE STORY OF PURIM The Book of Esther (Megillat Esther in Hebrew) the basis for the Purim holiday, recounts one of the most beloved of all biblical stories. After the banishment of Queen Vashti, King Achashverosh, the ruler of Persia and Media ordered a contest to select a new queen for himself. Esther was forced by the king’s officers to enter this contest. As instructed by Mordechai, she did not tell anyone that she was Jewish. It was an act of G-d that made King Achashverosh choose Esther for his queen. Her trustworthiness and devotion won much favour in the King’s eyes and he granted her all that she desired. It was not long before the love and admiration that Esther had earned was put to the supreme test. Haman, second to the king in command, requested the king’s permission to kill all the Jews in his kingdom. He was enraged by the Jews, who refused to honour him as a G-d and particularly by Mordechai who refused to bow down as Haman passed him every morning. Haman’s plot reached the ears of Mordechai who reported it to Queen Esther. When Esther heard of this terrible plan, she fasted for three days and ordered Mordechai and all the Jews of Persia to do the same. After three days of fasting and prayer, she went to seek an audience with the king. With this act Esther took her life into her own hands for it was the law of the land that no one was to appear before the king except when summoned by him. Queen Esther and Mordechai succeeded in defeating wicked Haman’s plan, with the result that the Jews were saved and wicked Haman and his equally wicked sons were hanged. 1. 21 February-March 2015 22 Shevat – Nisan 5775 23 February-March 2015 VOLUNTEERS CONGREGATION BETH TIKVAH Congregation Beth Tikvah Ahavat Shalom Nusach Hoari, is a synagogue located in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, which has a broad membership and an active core of dedicated volunteers who, through various events throughout the year, raise money for both their synagogue and for outside organizations. The activities, designed and run entirely by volunteers, include blood drives, golf tournaments and membership appreciation barbecues. But the largest fundraiser of the year and the event the volunteers are most known for is the Beth Tikvah bazaar. The bazaar has been happening for more than twenty years, and draws people from across the city who flock to DDO for three weekends in a row: the last two Sundays of November, and the first one of December. In the weeks leading up to bazaar season, fifteen to twenty volunteers will work daily on the setup; on bazaar days themselves, 70 to 80 volunteers will be involved in keeping things running smoothly. Each year the bazaar is made up of all new merchandise. The role of some volunteers is to be in touch with Montreal companies throughout the year, who donate their goods, making it the place for people to find affordable, new wares. According to the volunteer organizers, it is looked forward to as a shopping holiday for many attendees. Jacob Markel, who has been heavily involved in the bazaar as its logistics organizer says of the volunteer efforts, “It really feels like a family.” When asked about whether volunteer events actually do become intergenerational family affairs, he was enthusiastic: “Oh yes! There are tables at the bazaar where there are grandparents, parents and their kids—now in their twenties—all working together. It’s nice to see.” Be sure to check out Beth Tikvah’s bazaar this coming November!

THANK YOU 24 Shevat – Nisan 5775 25 February-March 2015 26 Shevat – Nisan 5775 Séance spéciale d’hommage aux victimes des attentats Assemblée nationale – 13 janvier 2015 Extrait de l’allocution de Manuel VALLS Premier ministre de la République Française L’histoire nous l’a montré, le réveil de l’antisémitisme, c’est le symptôme d’une crise de la démocratie, d’une crise de la République. C’est pour cela qu’il faut y répondre avec force. Après Ilan Halimi, en 2006, après les crimes de Toulouse, les actes antisémites connaissent en France une progression insupportable. Il y a les paroles, les insultes, les gestes, les attaques ignobles, comme à Créteil il y a quelques semaines qui, je l’ai rappelé ici dans cet hémicycle, n’ont pas soulevé l’indignation qui était attendue par nos compatriotes juifs dans le pays. Il y a cette inquiétude immense, cette peur que nous avons les uns et les autres sentie, palpée samedi dans la foule devant cet Hyper Cacher porte de Vincennes ou à la synagogue de la Victoire dimanche soir. Comment accepter qu’en France, terre d’émancipation des juifs, il y a deux siècles, mais qui fut aussi, il y a 70 ans, l’une des terres de son martyre, comment peut-on accepter que l’on puisse entendre dans nos rues crier « mort aux juifs » ? Comment peut-on accepter les actes que je viens de rappeler ? Comment peut-on accepter que des Français soient assassinés par ce qu’ils sont juifs ? Comment peut-on accepter que des compatriotes ou qu’un citoyen tunisien, que son père avait envoyé en France pour qu’il soit protégé alors qu’il va acheter son pain pour le Shabbat, meurt parce qu’il est juif ? Ce n’est pas acceptable et à la communauté nationale qui peut-être n’a pas suffisamment réagi, à nos compatriotes français juifs, je leur dis que cette fois-ci, nous ne pouvons pas l’accepter, que nous devons là aussi nous rebeller et en posant le vrai diagnostic. Il y a un antisémitisme que l’on dit historique remontant du fond des siècles mais il y a surtout ce nouvel antisémitisme qui est né dans nos quartiers, sur fond d’Internet, de paraboles, de misère, sur fond des détestations de l’Etat d’Israël, et qui prône la haine du juif et de tous les juifs. Il faut le dire, il faut poser les mots pour combattre cet antisémitisme inacceptable ! Et comme j’ai eu l’occasion de le dire, comme la ministre Ségolène Royal l’a dit ce matin à Jérusalem, comme Claude Lanzmann l’a écrit dans une magnifique tribune dans Le Monde, oui, disons-le à la face du monde : sans les juifs de France, la France ne serait plus la France. Et ce message, c’est à nous tous de le clamer haut et fort. Nous ne l’avons pas dit ! Nous ne nous sommes pas assez indignés ! Et comment accepter que, dans certains établissements, collèges ou lycées, on ne puisse pas enseigner ce qu’est la Shoah ? Comment on peut accepter qu’un gamin de 7 ou 8 ans dise à son enseignant quand il lui pose la question « quel est ton ennemi ? » et qu’il lui répond « c’est le juif » ? Quand on s’attaque aux juifs de France, on s’attaque à la France et on s’attaque à la conscience universelle, ne l’oublions jamais !
