Passover has a special place all of its own in Jewish Life. A Family Friendly Second Seder will be held at Shaare Zedek on April 23 with Rabbi Alan Bright and Chazan Yosi Even-Hen and their families. This spring is the beginning of very special times at Shaare Zedek. The months of May and June are filled with exciting events. Our Shul is hosting an Interfaith Celebration for World Peace on May 4. We will commemorate Holocaust Memorial Week with an Art Exhibition by Dorothy Grostern in the lobby from May 1 to May 7. Dorothy will be a special guest at the Shabbat services on May 7. On the weekend of May 13 -15, there will be a Shabbaton with Rabbi Dr. Norman Solomon. Read all about it on page 13. Sisterhood Torah Fund Event and Installation of a new Board on May 25 is always a special evening. Please remember to buy Raffle tickets and also try to sell them. The date of the Draw is June 22. With the purchase of a $150 ticket you will receive 2 tickets to the Viennese Dessert and Coffee reception. I wish all of our congregants and their families a very Happy Passover. The true spirit of this Passover Festival is Freedom. Frances Bokser, Editor WWW.SHAAREZEDEK.CA Are you linked to our website?

Bright Nancy Cooperberg Dr. Michael Wasser A. Bernard Leffell, z”l Rev. Yosi Even-Hen Mendel Fogel z”l Dr. Earl Karanofsky Julian Lewin 4 Founding Rabbi Chazan Cantor Emeritus Choir Director Executive Director Near the beginning of the Seder, the Haggadah features the Ha Lachma Anya, displaying the matza as both the symbol of affliction and of hope. Since virtually the entire Haggadah is compiled of passages in Hebrew, it is noteworthy that this section is composed in Aramaic. In fact, with the possible exception of some medieval songs near the end of the Seder (the Chad Gadya, for example), and the L'shem Yichud introductions found in Sephardic and Hassidic editions, Ha Lachma Anya stands out as the only Aramaic text in the entire Passover Seder. Also, it precedes the explanations and interpretations given to matza later in the Seder, anticipating and replicating their themes and messages. Why was this Aramaic passage necessary, and why was it included? After Hebrew ceased to be the lingua franca of our ancestors, Aramaic took its place as the vernacular of many Jews. Dialects of Aramaic were spoken by Palestinian and Babylonian Jews well into the common era, as attested by Talmudic literature and several well-known prayers in the liturgy, particularly the Kaddish, Y'qum Purqan and Kol Nidre. The inclusion of Ha Lachma Anya in the Haggadah is representative of the contributions of Diaspora Jewry to the treasury of Jewish civilization, and to the Seder in particular. It is the statement of post-Mishnaic world Jewry that Passover was for them much more than just a traditional historical and religious reminiscence. It was nothing less than the formal expression of their anguish in dispersion, and their hope for personal and collective redemption in days to come. Just as each individual is obligated to personally identify with the Exodus (B'chol Dor Vador), so, too, has each generation of Jews drawn inspiration from the story of redemption past and translated that hope in contemporary idiom into the quest for redemption to come. It is clear to all that we still live in an unredeemed world, and that each generation seeks hope and reassurance from the miraculous survival of the Jewish People to go on living as Jews, even in the face of adversity. There are certainly modern plagues that besiege us. We cannot sprinkle blood on our doorposts to protect ourselves from the bloodshed in our streets and terrorism in our world. We cannot merely call upon Divine Retribution to eradicate hatred, bigotry, malice and discrimination. There is no manna from Heaven that will 5 help us overcome hunger and poverty in a world of plentiful resources. And we have no Moses to unite the fragmented Jewish People and lead us all forward into an era of redemption. The real power of the Ha Lachma Anya lies in its concluding words: Hash'ta av'dei; l'shana ha-ba'a b'nei chorin, “This year we are still in bondage; next year may we be truly free!" The celebration of Passover in our unredeemed world is intended to inspire us to work diligently toward our own redemption, with the assurance that God will be with us and bless our efforts. Each generation of Jews has had its own affliction, its own Egypt, its own bondage and its own plagues to overcome. It is because we live in an unredeemed world that we need the encouragement of Passover to uplift our spirits and help us go forward toward a better world and the redemption we seek. Each generation of Jews makes its own addition to the saga of Passover. May our generation make use of our many blessings to hasten redemption for all. On behalf of Myself, Elizabeth and the family, I wish you all a Hag Kasher V’Sameach – A happy, peaceful and spiritually uplifting Passover. Rabbi Bright Dear Chaverim, By now, our snowbirds will have returned from warmer climates, an exodus from the south and a return home to the north. As Passover approaches, I urge you all to take in the beautiful rituals that come along with the "Season of Our Freedom". At times, it may not seem like Freedom with the cleaning and the preparation of our homes to welcome Passover. Then comes the the shopping, primarily for the special foods, followed by the cooking and preparint for the Seders. The the guests will arrive to take part in the celebrations and enjoy the good food. us, such as the fact that we have a home that we must clean and a kitchen in which to prepare our food. The great variety of foods that rival any place in the world, and the ability to purchase such and the ability to host family and friends and even strangers are all blessings. As I continually tell my students that work is not a punishment. If we harness the power that work brings with it, we get so much out of it. I fully agree that hard labour is undesirable, but we must not confuse work with hard labour. Turn necessary actions of disdain and dread into rewarding tasks. I bless each of you with the gift of work! Chag Sameach and a wonderful summer to each of you. YOSI BIKKUR CHOLIM The word mitzvah means command, although it is sometimes incorrectly translated as good deed. The mitzvah of bikkur cholim, visiting the sick, is a classic example of an action which is both a mitzvah and a good deed. This mitzvah is considered an honoured part of our tradition. Please advise the Rabbi’s office (514 - 484-1122 ext. 110) if you are ill or if you know of a congregant or a member of a congregant’s family who is ill. Your call can go a long way towards helping individuals through a particularly difficult period. Rabbi Bright may call them or visit their bedside or generally be available to them at their time of need. Please help us to serve you. If we appreciate the "work" that we have been granted, I believe we can appreciate the blessings that have been bestowed upon 1) Chag Ha-Aviv - The holiday of spring; 2) Chag Ha-Matzot - The holiday of matzot; 3) Chag Ha-Pesach The holiday of Pesach; 4) Zman Cheiruteinu - The season of our freedom. Each of these names emphasizes a different aspect of the holiday. "Chag Ha-Aviv" (" Holiday of the Spring" ). Pesach is always celebrated in the spring. This is the reason for the Hebrew leap year, which is an extra month, in order that Pesach will always come in the spring. There are seven leap years in every nineteen year cycle. This adjusts the Hebrew-Lunar year (354 days) to coincide with the solar year (365 days). Thus Pesach always occurs in the spring. "Chag HaMatzot" (" Holiday of Matzot" ). During the entire eight days (seven days in Israel) of Pesach, we are not permitted to eat leavened bread -- only Matzah. In the Torah the holiday is usually called Chag HaMatzot. "Chag Ha-Pesach" (" Holiday of Pesach" ). Pesach literally means "Pass-over." The Torah tells us that when G-d brought the tenth and last plague upon the Egyptians, by killing every Egyptian first-born, G-d passed-over the Jewish homes. In commemoration of this miracle, the holiday is called "Pesach" - "Pass-over." The Passover sacrifice is also called "Korban Pesach." "Z'man Cheiruteinu" (" Season of our Freedom" ). Pesach is the holiday in which the Jewish people attained their freedom after 210 years of living and being enslaved in Egypt. 6 CONDUCTED BY RABBI ALAN W.

No Charge. 10 A Guten Yom Tov to all our Shaare Zedek Congregants and your Families! Pesach is upon us and with it all the preparations required. Your Board of Directors has decided to embrace challenges, learn from them and take action. The world is full of great ideas and we have spent the last several months preparing a myriad of very impressive programs for you all to enjoy. A wonderful Sisterhood Kabbalat Shabbat and Shabbat Dinner was the first event following our Special General Meeting. The ladies of the Sisterhood did an outstanding Kabbalat service and served an amazing dinner to a sold out crowd. Yasher Koach to Carole Burke and Ellen Pesner Co-Presidents of the Sisterhood. Chanukah was celebrated in grand style with The Amazing Todsky, magician, along with a Craft corner making Menorahs. Delicious latkes, salads, and sufganiot were served. A great time was had by all who crowded the Davine Hall. Thanks must be expressed to Lloyd Kohen, Lili Yesovitch and our Cantor Yosi Even-Hen. In January we attended a most enjoyable and learning Tu B’Shevat Seder. Rabbi Alan Bright and Cantor Yosi led us in the reading of the Yom Tov prayers. The rituals were explained during which we enjoyed glasses of wine of different colours, along with various fruits and vegetables. Once again a sumptuous Shabbat dinner was presented. Thanks must go to Lili Yesovitch who was responsible for choosing the menu. The food was delicious. Shabbat Across Canada was presented on March 5, with a lively discussion “What is Jewish Mysticism? Where did it all start?” led by Rabbi Bright. This took place after Shabbat morning services, during a lovely Kiddush. Thank you Sarah Polsky for your participation in making this program a success. Purim was a most noisy and thoughtful holiday. We prepared Shaloch Manot for our members’ families and friends. They contained great goodies and were beautifully presented. The reading of the Megillah was followed by Mad Science who presented their newest event “Up, Up and Away”. The evening closed with a menu that consisted of hamentaschen, cotton candy and popcorn…it was terrific. Thanks must be expressed to Lloyd Kohen for his outstanding volunteerism and once again to Cantor Yosi. On April 11, 2016 members and friends were entertained with a smashing Bingo night. Sid Rath planned this evening, applying for the permit, getting us the Bingo game and all the accessories that we needed to be able to play, as well as being the caller. This is a wonderful way for us all to socialize with our members and friends. A fun time was enjoyed by all. Thank you Sid Rath. Passover will see us celebrating Pesach with a Family Friendly Seder on the second night, right here at Shaare Zedek Congregation. Rabbi Alan Bright, Cantor Yosi Even-Hen and Rochelle Ross have planned a beautiful and meaningful Seder for families. We are sure that with our members’ active participation we will have a most exciting, learning and enjoyable evening. On Wednesday, May 4, Shaare Zedek will be hosting the Interfaith Celebration for World Peace. This major event will bring together members of all world religions. The last time this event was held more than seven hundred people attended. You should plan to be there. The week of May 1, 2016 will see us observing Holocaust Remembrance week. In our lobby will be an exhibit of paintings by Dorothy Grostern depicting some of her thoughts, after participating in the March of the Living. On that Shabbat, May 7, we will have a very special morning with participation from Dorothy herself and Gabby Samra the lovely daughter of Sarah and Daniel 11 Samra, who was on the March of the Living. A special Kiddush will follow services. Thank you Marion Caplan for suggesting and producing this very meaningful program. Our amazing Shabbaton with Rabbi Dr. Norman Solomon, on May 13, 14 and 15, should be truly outstanding. This program was produced by our Religious Committee Chair, Sarah Polsky. Thank you Sarah for your true dedication to Shaare Zedek and your creativity and expertise. There is much more information in the Koleinu so please read and register as soon as possible. My heartfelt thanks to the Topor and Druker families for their very generous Sponsorship of this program. June 15, 2016 is our Annual General Meeting and we hope to see you all in attendance to support our hard working Board of Directors. June 22, 2016 will be the evening of our Annual Raffle, the Fund Raising Event of the season that allows us to present all the wonderful and educational programs we do. Your participation is essential in both purchasing and selling tickets. Then enjoy the lovely Viennese Desserts and coffees we are excited to present. My deepest appreciation goes out to the devoted Committee, Jack Cooperberg, Chair, Manny Vineberg, Debby Vineberg, Shirley Lerman, and Ben Topor. Thanks must go to the Dorel Group, especially Manon, for all their outstanding participation. The Passover Seder teaches us that freedom is precious and it is living a life of constant growth and always living up to our potential. May you all enjoy good health, your families and your friends, during this glorious time. We are all hard at work to make Shaare Zedek THE Congregation to belong to. We need all our members to participate by attending our events and by volunteering. Each of us is a precious treasure for our Shul. Sincerely, Nancy Cooperberg, President I am pleased to report that our Tu B'Shevat Seder continues to grow every year, even in winter. This January, approximately sixty-five people came out to participate in Shaare Zedek's Tu B'Shevat Seder. This was followed by Shabbat Shira, when we had the pleasure of hearing Raphael Even-Hen chant the Haftorah. Yasher koach to Raphael Even-Hen on a Haftorah reading that continues to be praised at end of February. Special thanks goes out to Lili Yesovitch for arranging a delicious dinner and outstanding kiddush. We take the opportunity to thank JNF for its continued support. If you want to begin your day positive, prepared and courageous, I highly recommend attending our shacharit services. If you need to decompress after a hectic day before walking into the house, I suggest attending the mincha/ma'ariv services. As we become adept at the prayers and meditations, we develop focus and clarity. It assists us in finding what is important in life and where to direct our energies. On April first, the Monday - Friday morning minyanim are moving to 7:30AM. Evening services remain at 6PM. At this time we are looking forward to Pesach and Shavuot, festivals of freedom and of receiving the law. Shaare Zedek will be holding a Family/Youth Seder on the Second night of Passover with Rabbi Bright and Cantor Even-Hen and their families, and Rochelle Ross. I encourage everyone to attend services, to participate, to join the kiddushim, and to say hello. In May don't miss the Friday through Sunday Shabbaton with Oxford and Cambridge scholar, author and philosopher, Dr. Normon Solomon. He will be discussing selected topics relevant to our times from his book, Torah From Heaven. A Reconstruction of Faith. On behalf of Dr. Michael Wasser, Dr. Morris Wechsler, Eli "Buddy" Manis, Allan Zuckerman, Larry Wexler, Sondra Schwartz and myself, we wish you and your families a freilach and kosher Pesach.

I am having my Bar Mitzvah in May and have been enjoying my weekly lessons with Yosi, in preparation for the big day. This past summer was very special for my family and me because we visited Israel. I travelled the country and I got to spend time with my extended family in Israel. The experiences and memories I have from that summer are ones I will never forget. I love all sports but hockey is my biggest passion. I also enjoy playing basketball, football and video games. I look forward to celebrating my Bar Mitzvah in May with my family and friends. JONAH LEVINE MAY 23, 2016 My name is Jonah Levine and I recently graduated from Royal Vale Elementary School and now attend Westmount High School. I like high school very much and have made many new friends. I enjoy playing piano, drawing, swimming, baseball and computer technology. This is a special time for me. I am very lucky to have such a great family and appreciate all of their love and support. I love them all very much. Many thanks to Yosi for being an awesome teacher and special person. I am also really excited about this summer because I will be going back to camp for a month and also taking a trip (my Bar Mitzvah gift) to California with my family! I am very much looking forward to my Bar Mitzvah and sharing this beautiful day with my family and the people I love. TOBY FISCHER JUNE 11, 2016 My name is Toby Fischer and I am a graduate of Solomon Schechter Academy. I am currently going to Selwyn House High School. I am really getting excited about my Bar Mitzvah which will be coming up in June. During my final year at Solomon Schechter Academy I went on the school trip to Israel. It was an amazing experience to see the country I have been learning about for the last seven years. Also, each person in our group got the opportunity to do a short Bar Mitzvah speech at Masada. I love animals, especially my two cats and I like to ski, play tennis and take drum lessons. I would like to thank Yosi for my Bar Mitzvah lessons and my family for all their love and support. DANIEL NATHAN AUGUST 22, 2016 My name is Daniel Nathan and I am graduating from Summit School in St. Laurent. I will be entering high school in my upcoming academic year.

I am enjoying my Bar Mitzvah lessons with Cantor Yosi and I am looking forward to having my friends and family celebrate this special time with me. 14 JOSHUA KRAMER SEPTEMBER 4, 2016 My name is Josh Kramer and I graduated from Royal Vale Elementary School last year. This is an important year for me as I am now in my first year at Westmount High School and am preparing for my Bar Mitzvah in September. When I’m not at school, I love to play hockey, ski, learn new songs on guitar and practice with my swim team. I am really excited to go back to Camp B’nai Brith of Ottawa this summer. I love spending time with my family and friends. Yosi has made my Bar Mitzvah lessons both interesting and fun, and am looking forward to celebrating this important time in my life with everyone.

Attaching the hangtags and getting ready for delivery. 23 24 Solution on page 20 25 Prohibition of Chametz on Pesach: On Pesach it is prohibited to possess chametz (leaven). All chametz that will not be eaten or burned before Pesach must be sold to a non-Jew. All chametz utensils that will not be thoroughly cleaned by then, are stored away in closets or rooms while preparing for Pesach. The storage area is locked or taped-shut, and leased to a non-Jew at the time of the sale. There are many legal intricacies in this sale, thus, only a competent rabbi should be entrusted with its execution. Cantor Yosi EvenHen acts as our agent both to sell the chametz to the non-Jew on the morning before Pesach starts and also to buy it back the evening after Pesach ends. Locking your chametz away and giving Cantor Yosi Even-Hen the Signed Chametz Contract is an easy way of observing one of the most important laws in the Torah. (Contract follows below). Chametz, which remains in the possession of a Jew over Pesach, may not be used, eaten, bought or sold even after Pesach. PLEASE NOTE All contracts must be returned to the office no later than 12:00PM THURSDAY APRIL 21, 2016 DELEGATION OF POWER FOR SALE OF CHAMETZ Please cut along the dotted line below and return lower section to Cantor Yosi Even-Hen …….……………………………………………………………….……………………………………… I, the undersigned, fully empower and permit Cantor Yosi Even-Hen to act in my place and stead, and on my behalf to sell all Chametz possessed by me, knowingly or unknowingly as defined by the Torah and Rabbinic Law (e.g. Chametz, possible Chametz, and all kinds of Chametz mixtures). Also Chametz that tends to harden and adhere to inside surfaces of pans, pots, or cooking utensils, the utensils themselves, and all kinds of live animals and pets that have been eating Chametz and mixtures thereof. Cantor Yosi Even-Hen is also empowered to lease all places wherein the Chametz owned by me may be found, particularly at the address/es listed below, and elsewhere. Cantor Yosi Even-Hen has full right to appoint any agent or substitute in his stead and said substitute shall have full right to sell and lease as provided herein.
