She told me she has read the Bible ten times. Ten times! We are the people who gave the Bible to the world. Yet, how many of us have read our Scripture cover to cover even once? Of course, Jews don’t only read the Bible. We un-read the Bible. Reading the Tanach is a spiritual practice. And, it involves a deliberate act of de-construction. Here’s how it works. We read a passage. We find things wrong with the text. There are contradictions. The behavior of the characters (God included) seems unethical or out of sync with our contemporary ideas. We argue, we question. And, out of this ‘taking apart’ of the text comes a deeper insight that has expanded Jewish sensibility and has made Judaism bigger, embracing more than when we started. The practice of un-reading the Bible is a rehearsal for the un-reading of reality. When I was in high school I had a friend who had never left Brooklyn. I’m sure he has by now. When Vladimir first crossed the bridge to Manhattan, I know his world got bigger. We are all like that. We think we’re broad minded, but we live within the narrow range of our experience. We’re like my friend who never experienced Staten Island, or like the Europeans of 1491 who didn’t know there was a Western hemisphere. Centuries from now, when our descendants travel to distant galaxies, they’ll wonder how we could be so preoccupied with this tiny world we call Earth. That’s why we unread the Bible. We deliberately bust up our preconceptions about the text. We look at a story we thought we knew as if we’d never seen it before. That’s because if we can look at the Bible this way, we can look at our lives this way. The goal is to leave Brooklyn and expand our world. But, to unread the Bible, first we have to read the Bible. Can we find 50 righteous people at HNT who will commit to read the entire Bible this coming year? Let me know if you’d like to be part of this soul-stretching project (email me at rabbi@h-nt.org). The building blocks of our world can be assembled in more than one way. Let’s see how creative we can be. Let’s leave Brooklyn together by reading and unreading the Bible.

D. cAnDiDAtE, EliyAhu krigEl A D'var “Ben Zoma said, who is wise? He/She who learns from all people. As it is said, from all my teachers I have gained understanding.” Avot 4:1 When we view each encounter, each experience, and each person we come into contact with in our lives with an open heart, we fulfill Ben Zoma’s message above. Lifelong learning isn’t about staying in one place. Continuously learning is important because it helps us develop into the people we all have the potential to become. The Jewish midot or value of learning, known as Talmud Torah, dates all the way back to the reception of the Torah. Shavuot begins on the evening of June 11. Shavuot commemorates the birthday of the reception of the Torah. Whether we believe in the historical accuracy of the Torah being received on Mount Sinai or not, the main takeaway of Shavuot is what we now do with the Torah in our own lives. Do we live each day embodying gratitude reminding ourselves and those around us of the mystery of creation? Do we go about our day and treat each potential connection as a chance encounter, to be forgotten as soon as our head touches the pillow to sleep for the night, or do we invest meaning in our relationships and connections? The choice is ours and Shavuot is a reminder built into our calendar year to constantly strive for a deeper understanding of the complex world around and within. May we all be blessed this Shavuot and into the summer with the words of Ben Zoma and the ability to learn from each person we encounter so we can grow and gain a deeper understanding of our own life and community! As I conclude my first year at HNT, I would like to thank each of you for your tremendous efforts in helping my family and I adjust and become fully integrated into this wonderful community. What has most impressed me this year about HNT relates to all the thoughtful conversations I have had with all of you as I have gotten to know the many supportive faces is this special place. Your dedication is an inspiration to me. Thank you to the board of directors, the parent committee, and the many parents, students, and teachers at FRS who continue to be the reason our community is vibrant and growing. What a blessing you all have been for my family and I and we look forward to many more joyous occasions in the future rooted in the Jewish learning experience with all of you. Please stay in contact with me with about your Jewish journey into the summer. Any B’nai Mitzvah questions, I’m here to help support the process and beyond. I look forward to deepening our relationship in the future and have a wonderful and safe summer! 6 BlESSing OF thE BABiES The first day of Shavuot is on Sunday, June 12. Herzl-Ner Tamid has a tradition of blessing the new babies born to our congregation. This blessing is for babies whose parents and grandparents are members, plus others who’d like their little one to receive the blessing. The babies and their parents will be called to the bima for an aliyah and siblings are also welcome to join them.

FRS creates a foundation for fostering deeper connections to Judaism, Israel, Hebrew, and the modern world. Last year, we adopted a new curriculum through the Jewish Theological Seminary called Etgar Yesodi (Essential Challenge). Etgar Yesodi uses the power of cooperative learning, the value of addressing multiple intelligences, and sees the importance of differentiating instruction so that the learning is relevant and engaging. Interfaith and non-traditional families have an important place at the table of learning at FRS as we engaged in continuous learning from babies to bubbies. Now is the time to sign up for Frankel Religious School! The registration link is now live on the HNT website. The first 50 families who register will be entered into a raffle for a brand new Lenovo Yoga 2.

We kicked off at the Seattle Aquarium and stayed in regular contact holding ever-more delicious monthly Friday night potluck dinners to celebrate Shabbat. Ruach and card games abounded! In February, we upheld our traditional Un-Valentines Day Movie Night, screening the timeless classic “Dodgeball” after havdallah, and we also rocked the mic for Purim Karaoke. Our March highlight was our own chapter Shabbaton “The British Invasion”, with 24 teens in attendance, where we ate, slept, prayed, programmed, ate and drank tea at HNT. After Shabbat, we visited laser tag and Sky mania. Incredibly, no one threw up. The USY Board wrote many superb programs– YESHER KOACH! For Social Action/Tikkun Olam, USY went above and beyond raising over $300 by designing and selling weekly “Shavua-tov’o’grams” for the FRS community to give to one another. Several of our 8th -12th graders, thirsty to continue their Jewish learning beyond B'nai Mitzvah, have been participating in Livnot Chai, our supplementary High School Program that partners with local synagogues. It was fantastic to teach several of our 8th and 10th graders personally! Our new initiative, the monthly Sunday morning 8th grade Leadership Program thrived. We helped students develop their skills to become Madrichim (leaders). We can’t wait for them to take on the mantle of working in the school as Torah tutors and/ or as classroom TAs. Thank you to Irit Eliav Levin for coordinating this program, and giving us invaluable life lessons! Kadima youth group for the 6th and 7th graders has really moved FORWARD. We have been running monthly afterHebrew School events that have been fun, loud, and very well attended. Our 6th graders stay on Monday evenings and our 7th graders on Tuesday evenings for pizza, interactive games, and social bonding-time. Thank you all for supporting our youth programs, especially the parents who offered their homes for our USY Shabbat dinners, and for driving your teens everywhere! Regional Director Becca Powazek has been invaluable. Lee Peha was our fantastic USY advisor and we will miss his beautiful smile. Big mazal tov to our incoming USY advisor Michaela Covner! Shout out to our USY board: Jessi Luper, Nate Sigmon, Ariela Ikezawa, Elana Lessing, Joey Peha, Eden Weiss, and Rebecca Brown for your hard work and enthusiasm. Keep that pinwheel spinning! Lucas Waggoner, our Kadima Advisor was a masterful games leader, and a wealth of wisdom! alongside Rhiannon Gerhardt who has tirelessly coordinated behind the scenes. Thank you all! I'm so excited for the future of the youth experience at HerzlNer Tamid and to keeping this great momentum going.

Sign up and let us know what you’re bringing at: h-nt.org/ShaPotluck why take hebrew classes? In the past, when I took a Hebrew class, I would memorize the letters and then forget what I had learned as soon as I left the class. After a long day at work I would think to myself “I really do not want to go to class. I just want to go home and rest. But when I decided to try to learn Hebrew – again – this time the experience was very different. Within minutes I was revitalized. Janine is an excellent teacher and she has an incredible ability to understand where each person in the class is coming from. She knows how to make the material meaningful. Janine gave us the ability to learn using the method that works the best for each of us. She even told us that “homework” was not required. By the end of the session, we were memorizing the letters, and to my surprise, within a short time, I discovered that following Shabbat and morning minyan services became easier. I definitely do not have a natural language aptitude – quite the opposite - but I am learning Hebrew. It is amazing. I am even taking a second class in Hebrew prayer. During the past month we read and translated the Hagaddah. These classes are a wonderful “escape” from the rest of my responsibilities and you feel like you are actually accomplishing something! Thank you, Janine, for making services more meaningful, for giving me a feeling of accomplishment, and for the surprise of surprises, making it fun!
