Message from Rabbi Nico
“The Way of the World / Derech Eretz”
We just finished reading the Torah portions that relate the exodus from Egypt. We are in
the desert, in which most of the Torah occurs. We read a few weeks ago Parashat Yitro,
in which we learned about the Torah being given on Mount Sinai. Therefore I would like
to share with you a "meta-Torah" concept that our sages said "preceded Torah:" Derech Eretz.
Arthur Green, in his book “A Vocabulary of Jewish Spiritual Life” explains: Derech Eretz literally meaning “the
way of the world,” derech eretz is a rich complex of values and ideas that are used in a variety of contexts. On
what might be its most superficial plane, derech eretz refers to good manners, the “proper” way to behave.
The term seems to mean that these things are to be taken for granted by anyone and need not be specifically
prescribed by the Torah. Related to this meaning is derech eretz as proper respect for those generally thought
to deserve it—parents, teachers, elders, the learned, and those in authority. When the Talmud says that
“derech eretz preceded Torah,” it partly means that such norms of respect are held by non-Jews as well, and
are basic to all of human civilization. But derech eretz also has a sexual meaning; it is “the way of the world”
as in fulfilling one’s natural instincts. This too preceded Torah; in fact, some laws of Torah are seen as a
response to such derech eretz, a taming of instinctive behavior. We share sexual desire and the reproductive
process with the animal kingdom, but our task is to put these into the context of relationship and holiness
(kedushah). Perhaps the oldest meaning of derech eretz connects it to death, “the way of all the earth”
(Joshua 23:14). The folk wisdom or “manners” of derech eretz are then those we learn from the primary
lesson of mortality: the conduct of a person who knows he or she is going to die. All of these meanings are
occasionally interconnected in subtle and interesting ways.
“Derech eretz preceded Torah” means that there is a stage that comes before the written rules and which
advocates a universal humanly standard.
The law can set the minimum that is required and even the ethical aspirations but it doesn't set sensitivity or
compassion. It is when we succeed to combine between our beliefs (Torah), manners, empathy and humanity,
that the combination between Torah and Derech Eretz shines upon our community!
May we find the wisdom to create a place of Torah and Derech Eretz, of a very strong Jewish identity and yet
with a high level of universal love and commitment.
B'ahava - With Love,
Rabbi Nico Socolovsky

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
OUR EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
AT WORK
by Cindy Jacobson
Last month, my husband, Fred, gave
a talk to the Men’s Club entitled
“Men’s Health: A New Beginning in
the New Year.” Of course, his talk
contained many kernels of wisdom on
diet and exercise, and even prostate
health. Nevertheless, the take-away from his lecture is
that good health is a state of physical, mental, social, and
spiritual well-being, and not merely the absence of
disease.
For the past few months, a group of parents, lay leaders
and our professional team have met weekly with an eye
on moving our congregation’s educational program into
st
the 21
century. Committed to translating our
expectations of
education in our
community, we
are
in
the
process
of
recognizing our
strengths,
addressing our
challenges, and
learning
from
other successful
models in the
Jewish educational world. We understand the importance
of creating a value-based curriculum, which opens the
opportunity for deep Jewish experiences. We also want
to emphasize the importance of your partnership and
presence in order to make this happen. We welcome
your participation. Let’s create together “community” and
a better future for our children.
With the new year, many of us will make resolutions to
lose weight and exercise more in hopes of improving our
st
health. In fact, studies have shown that each January 1
over 50% of us vow to change some behavior with 1/3 of
us hoping to slim down. Yet, 1/4 of those will give up
after the first week! And, only 8% will achieve their
resolution. An interesting article in the Washington Post,
“Five Myths about our Habits,” links the success of a
resolution with the ability to create a new habit that
incorporates a desired behavior. Tips for creating a new
habit include choosing something easy and achievable,
linking a new habit with a current behavior, creating a set
schedule for the activity, and doing the activity with
friends who are counting on you and supporting you. So,
for example, it may be difficult to achieve a resolution to
lose 20 pounds. However, you are more likely to stick to
a routine of walking for 30 minutes 3 times a week at a
set time with a friend. Success has much more to do
with changing habits than adopting good intentions and
relying on sheer willpower to see it through.
It is interesting that most New Year’s resolutions involve
diet and exercise, and few relate to the other aspects of
health, even though they are equally important for a
person’s well-being. Many studies have shown a direct
correlation between connecting socially with others and
better health. A person who attends social activities
regularly, such as a religious group, club or class, has
increased happiness, lower blood pressure, and a longer
life span. Moreover, people who attend church or
synagogue regularly are reported to have healthier
lifestyles, reduced stress, more robust immune systems,
lower blood pressure, and better recovery times from
operations. Wow! Who knew that belonging to TBT
could have so many benefits!
NO COST, NO RISK, EASY WAY TO
GIVE MONEY TO TBT
Amazon.com, the world's largest online retailer, now has a
program called Amazon Smile. For every purchase you (or a
friend, relative, co-worker, etc.) make on Amazon.com, TBT will
receive 0.5%. No strings attached and no extra cost to you.
This is free money for TBT. When you shop at smile.amazon.com,
you'll find exactly the same low prices, vast selection, and
convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added
bonus that Amazon will donate money to TBT. You use the same
account on both Amazon.com and Amazon Smile. Your shopping
cart, Wish List, Prime account, wedding or baby registry, and
other account settings are also the same. Some products are
exempted from this program, but you'll see that on the screen
when you make your purchase.
So, as we make our resolutions for a healthier new year,
let’s also focus on our spiritual and social well-being.
Come to services, attend an adult education class or
Torah Study, volunteer to help with the Purim activities or
Casino Night, or join one of our many social groups, like
Men’s Club or Sisterhood. Come with a friend, or come
to TBT and make new friends. Make it a routine. Don’t
feel guilty taking time to make friends, study, meditate,
and pray – it’s good for you!
Just go to www.smile.amazon.com. At the top of the screen
you'll be asked which organization you want to support. Indicate
TEMPLE BETH TIKVAH. If you have any questions, contact the
TBT office (714) 871-3535.
Shalom,
Cindy Jacobson

PASSPORT TO JEWISH LIFE®
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS
Many years ago I was having a discussion with my
daughter about college education. At some point during the
conversation she said, “There’s a difference between going
to school and getting an education.” I have always
st
remembered that remark, and I think that in today’s 21
century education, that thought is more true than ever
before.
When I was working on my early childhood education
units, the emphasis was on authentic learning opportunities.
That mean that if we wanted to teach how to hammer a nail
into wood, using a real hammer (age-appropriate) was
preferable to using a toy. Finding a hurt/dead animal gave
us an opportunity to teach about Jewish values. And so it
goes.
In today’s world, stepping out of the textbook and into the
world of discovery gives the learner a chance to get an
authentic education that is multi-dimensional. Reading, of
course, has its place. But textbooks are written through the
lense of another individual. Experiencing the “real thing”
allows our children (and us) to use our senses to probe into
the deeper meaning of the lesson. This is why attending
camp and visiting Israel have long been seen as making the
biggest impact on a child’s Jewish education.
During January, our teens were treated to a Jewish
concert featuring musician Dan Nichols. The event took
place at Temple Beth Sholom, and was followed by an
overnight “shul-in” with four other youth groups. They
experienced the value of Jewish community that goes
beyond spending time with classmates here at TBT (which
in itself is a great thing to do!). During the overnight party
(thanks to ECLC teacher Ariel Snyder for chaperoning),
they schmoozed, ate, sang, and got to know other teens in
our community. Through our community’s regional youth
group known as Sababa Teens, they will be able to
continue these connections with other events planned for
the spring.
Our younger students participate in services every
Shabbat, which is a live Hebrew and musical educational
experience that also builds relationships to our adult
community as well as to God and their own spirituality.
Getting to know some new melodies, listening to the
kavanot (creative interpretations of the prayers), and
discussing their own spirituality that develops during our
prayer experiences – these are authentic Jewish learning
experiences. When they return to their classrooms and
engage in conversations about Jewish values, this too is
experiential Jewish education.
As parents, we have an opportunity to enhance our
children’s Jewish experiences. Rather than dropping them
off at school and heading for the gym, the store, or home,
why not make their Jewish education time your own Jewish
education time. On Shabbat we have Torah study and our
morning service. On Wednesdays (and Saturdays) we are
looking towards starting some small groups of conversation.
What would you like to learn? Please let me know.
Like the familiar blue passport, a
Passport to Jewish Life® opens
doors for kids in OC to reach new
Jewish
educational
destinations.
Every Passport holder can take a new step
or dream a new dream at home or abroad.
Each Passport to Jewish Life® can be used by for any
Jewish educational experience – after-school programs,
Religious school, & overnight camp experiences. Go to:

for
information and eligibility. (Note: This scholarship money
can be used to pay Religious School tuition.)

DO JEWS CELEBRATE
VALENTINE’S DAY?
While the origins of this day are linked to a
saint, the connections are dubious and even
the Catholic Church has removed Valentine's
Day from the church calendar. It is always
wonderful to be able to celebrate love – whether
of a spouse, child, relative, or good friend. A littleknown holiday is Tu B'Av (the Fifteenth of Av – this year on
August 19). Following the reflective nature of Tisha B'Av and
preceding Elul, month of preparation for the High Holidays, Tu
B'Av is a day marked by dancing and courtship. Ancient
traditions note that on this day, young women, dressed in
white, went out into the fields to dance and were followed by
young men. (www.reformjudaism.org)
********************************************************************
TZEDAKAH PROJECT OF THE MONTH
This year we will collect items for distribution to those less
fortunate than ourselves through Pathways of Hope. Each
month we will highlight one item that our children can bring
to Religious/Hebrew School. At the end of the month the
collected items will be sent to Pathways of Hope. Here is
what we have planned:
February
Gardening supplies
March
Cleaning products
April
Non-perishable food items

BAKED GOODS SALE
By Natalie Wirtzer, Director
Here is an opportunity to make sure that you have challah
for celebrating Shabbat. Items come from Lang’s Bakery
in San Diego.
Trees are a symbol of our investment in the future, and
because they take so long to grow, planting them is the
most selfless act one can make for their children. As we
teach the value of Shmirat Ha'Adamah this month, they
have all learned ways in which they can contribute towards
taking care of the earth. After a Tu BiSh'vat Seder, the
school enjoyed planting parsley for Passover, making
tzedakah boxes for the Jewish National Fund, and craft
activities that celebrated this beautiful and important
holiday.
Orders are delivered every week on Friday morning to the
Temple. Pick-up is between 10:00-3:00. Payments are due
upon pick-up. Proceeds from your orders go directly to our
Religious School.
Orders need to be turned in Tuesdays by the end of
the day. Please note new prices, effective Feb. 1, 2016.

BAT MITZVAH NEWS
BAR MITZVAH NEWS
On February 6, 2016, Dani Siegel will be called to the
Torah as a Bat Mitzvah. Dani began
her education at TBT’s Early
Childhood Learning Center and now
attends Santiago Charter Middle
School as an 8th grader. She is an
honor roll student and part of the
Gold Strive Program, which gives
awards based on academic efforts.
Gold is for students with a GPA of
3.7 and up.
Jacob Lee Prezgay will
become a Bar Mitzvah on
February 27th, 2016. His
parents Chris & Audrey,
along with his brother Josh
and sister Becca are very
proud of Jacob. We are looking forward to celebrating
this special day with family and friends.
Jacob began his Jewish Education at Temple Beth
Tikvah’s ECLC at age 3. Jacob is a 7th grader at Brea
Junior High where he works hard as an honor roll
student. Jacob loves to play baseball and has been
playing since he was 5 years old. When he's not on the
baseball field he likes to shoot hoops, play football, hang
out with friends and of course enjoys his video games.
S = Success T = Teamwork R = Responsibility
I = Integrity V = Values E = Effort
Dani has performed in many Musical Theatre
productions as a member of The Music Room in Orange,
as well as the Yorba Linda Spotlight Theatre. Dani has
been taking voice lessons since the age of 6, just to
prepare for her Bat Mitzvah.
Jacob's mitzvah project consisted of baking cookies for
mitzvah meals for the past 4 months. Additionally, he is
helping out at the Incredible Edible Farm at the Orange
County Great Park. He helped with harvesting fresh
produce and assisting with farm maintenance. Jacob
enjoyed helping and will be volunteering again in the
future.
Dani focused her Bat Mitzvah
project on raising money for all
types of cancer research. She
was inspired by her 22-year-old
neighbor who died from brain
cancer, as well as other family
members who have suffered, or are suffering from this
ugly disease. She was even asked to be a guest
speaker at a UCI foundation, Donor's Circle luncheon.
At this luncheon she met many inspirational people,
from cancer survivors, to medical researchers, to million
dollar donors. Dani learned that we all can make a
difference, "one dollar at a time." Dani also led a team of
17 in her first 5K walk for the American Cancer Society.
Thanks to all who walked with her, purchased lanyards,
bracelets and T-shirts, as well as those who supported
her with monetary donations. If you know someone with
cancer, or want to support her "They All Matter, Find a
Cure" project, type the following address in your browser
and donate today. Like Dani said, "We can all make a
difference, one dollar at a time." https://uaweb.uadv.uci.edu/Dani-Project-Cancer-Institute
We want to give a big thank you to Cantor Avdee for
preparing Jacob for his Bar Mitzvah. Also, thank you to
Miriam and Rabbi Nico for all your support.
We are so very proud of the young man Jacob is
becoming and can’t
wait to see what the future holds for him. Mazel Tov!
David & Lynda Trachtman joyfully
announce the engagement of their
daughter, Gabrielle, to Adam Barber.
We are very proud of
Dani and all of her
accomplishments, but
more importantly we
are proud of her huge
heart and the love she
shows people. She
values her family, her
friends
and
the
Jewish
Community!
We are so excited for her upcoming Bat Mitzvah!!

Hi all,
It’s hard to believe, but we are getting into the second part of the Temple year. In only
four short months the yearly term of the current Sisterhood board will be over. We just
had our beautiful Sisterhood Shabbat and I would like to thank Rabbi Nico and Cantor
Avdee for their patience and cooperation in helping us make the service as successful
as it was. I would also like to congratulate our wonderful Woman of the Year who has
earned her title with much dedication and love for our Sisterhood for years.
Now that the celebration is over, it is time to look ahead and start planning for next
year. Currently, we have eighteen women filling sixteen Sisterhood board positions.
These women are doing a tremendous job. Their dedication goes above and beyond,
and it is because of them that we had a successful year despite the fact that we were
officially on hold.
However, the majority of these women have been there for many years. They
represent the “old guard” of Sisterhood and have been moving from one position on
the board to another. They still want to help and remain active, but they are also ready
to move on to take care of grandchildren, pursue new job opportunities and other
endeavors that their lives present to them.
Therefore, Sisterhood is at a crossroads! It is ready for CHANGE! It is ready to be
revamped in terms of events, ideology, vision, mission and goals. In order to do that
WE NEED YOU’RE HELP! Yes, we need the help of EVERY woman of the
congregation. We need the help of every woman who cares about Sisterhood and
feels that she has some stake in shaping its future.
For this reason, we are opening the next Sisterhood meeting to ALL women of the
congregation and everyone else who might be interested. Rabbi Nico has graciously
accepted our invitation to lead the meeting in exploring crucial questions such as WHY
SISTERHOOD? And WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ADDRESS “WOMEN ISSUES” IN
A WAY THAT FITS THE WOMEN OF THIS GENERATION? I sincerely hope you will
participate and share your ideas and views!
The meeting will be on:
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2016 AT 7:00 PM AT THE TEMPLE
Please put this date on your calendars! I hope to see as many of you as possible as
this is a very important issue for all of us. Please RSVP to the Temple office by
Monday, February 22 so we can decide where and how to conduct the meeting and so
that we might also provide light snacks and drinks.
We are looking forward to seeing you soon,
Dafna Gutterman
Sisterhood President
It’s time to think about whether you want to apply for a Sisterhood
campership. Applications are available in this issue of the Scroll – see p. 20.
Applications will be accepted beginning March 1.

NEW ADULT EDUCATION
OFFERINGS FOR WINTER/SPRING
In January we had two very exciting
programs: a cooking class with
renowned Jewish Cooking Chef Judy
Kancigor, and a presentation on
“Marital Relationships in the Biblical
Text” by Biblical Studies professor
Sharon Keller. We also continue to
offer our weekly Torah Study and our
Mussar class. The Talit-making class
has also been extended to enable those participating to
complete their beautiful projects.
This month, we offer three new programs. The first one
explores the origins of the Jewish Calendar – did you
know that the calendar we all use is the fourth calendar
to have been adopted?
The other two programs discuss the role of women in
Judaism. We look at it first through the lens divorce
according to Halachah, as highlighted in the movie “Gett:
The Trial of Vivian Ansalem.” Then we will listen to
Professor Elior’s lecture discussing the important role
women have played and continue to play.
Looking ahead, our schedule for winter/spring includes
the events below. We are currently working on some
additional offerings.
 Feb. 8 Origins of the Jewish Calendar – Sam
Prum and Rabbi Art Levine. 7pm.
 Feb. 13 Shabbat Lunch ‘N learn: “Grasping
Reform Judaism.” Rabbi Nico. Noon.
 Feb. 21 TBT at the Movies – “Gett: The Trial of
Viviane Ansalem” – Mike Cocos coordinator. 5:30pm.
 Feb. 29 Judaism and Women – Sam Prum and
Rabbi Nico. 7pm.
 Mar. 14 Jewish Genetic Diseases - Marv
Rosenberg. 7pm.
 Apr. 3 TBT at the Movies – “Deli Man.” An eat and
watch family event – Mike Cocos coordinator. 4pm.
 Apr. 13 Cooking for Passover with Judy
Kancigor. 6pm.
 May 1 Speaker Series Event 3 – Rabbi Haim Asa
Memorial Lecture: Showing of the documentary
“Empty Boxcars,” followed by a discussion with the
Producer and Director, Professor Ed Gaffney. 7pm
(Reception 5:30pm)
 May 5 Yom Hashoah Commemoration – Showing
of the film: “The Return of the Violin,” followed by a
discussion led by Sam Prum. 7pm.
Your Adult Education Leadership Team is pleased to
bring you these events and hope you will make plans to
join us. For more information contact the TBT Office.
A NOTE FROM NOGA SOCOLOVSKY
I want to say a great thank you.
And I want to say thank you not
only for this truly wonderful and
friendly event, but for more than
that. You know how kids and
animals can instinctively feel
things that we may take years to
realize? My kids have felt at home from the very first
moment they stepped on TBT grounds. This is thanks to
specific people but nonetheless to the positive spirit of
this congregation. And I still find this amazing...
I grew up in a completely secular environment. This is
to say Israeli secular; meaning that I did accompany my
grandfather to the synagogue on the High Holidays
when I was a kid. But the other side of my personal
history is that I was actually never aware that there
existed an option of a musical participative prayer, where
women don't have to hide behind a wall and struggle to
see the Bimah. I was never a member of a congregation
and my youth movement never did any blessings over
the food. So you can probably imagine that my dad is
still getting over the shock of his daughter the engineer
marrying a Rabbi.
Since I met Nico I became familiar with many things I
hadn't known before, and I have grown and developed in
many ways. We still often view things in different
ways. So the Rabbi's family is also in a constant
dialogue. A dialogue about what kind of a family we want
to be, what is right for us, what we want to teach the kids,
and the answers are not always straight forward.
Certainly one of the things we are in complete
agreement about is our choice to come here. We were
looking for a place to establish community life. When
Nico started the conversations with TBT he told me there
is something very special about this place. And when he
came back after visiting here, almost a year ago, he had
this spark in his eyes. He told me about the people that
he met and it was clear to us both that this is a
community we can truly become part of. And I'm so glad
about this choice. To me, today we are not only
celebrating a chapter in our life but also the fact that we
can share it with our community.
Thank you.

PARTNERING WITH PATHWAYS
By Gary Gruber
In previous years TBT has partnered with Pathways of Hope and the Harvest Club
to pick fruit for distribution to the families Pathways serves …
those less fortunate in our community.
We would like to do so again with your help. This is also a way in which seniors who have fruit
trees but no way to harvest them can participate and we as a group can do multiple mitzvot.
For the seniors, they get the help they need to pick fruit for themselves. In addition, as parts of
these harvests are garnered, they go to needy families that are serviced by Pathways of Hope.
It’s a thrill to see kids’ eyes light up upon receipt of this fruit.
For most families or single parents fruit is not a necessity but a luxury.
Therefore please contact the Temple office to sign up so we can set up picking groups, which
could include the Temple kids as well, under parental supervision.
