Morris B. Margolies
1921 - 2012
CBS Senior Rabbi 1961-1986
Congregation Beth Shalom extends sincere condolences to the family of Rabbi Morris B. Margolies, z”l,
our beloved Rabbi Emeritus. To quote the author, Mitch
Albom in Tuesdays with Morrie, “Death ends a life, not a
relationship.” Many of our congregants and the community had a relationship with Rabbi Margolies. We will miss
his physical presence, but his teachings and our memories
of his accomplishments in our community and throughout the world will keep that relationship alive.
To paraphrase a commentator on Song of Songs:
“shesiftotekha dovevot min hakever ailie l’olam,” your words
will speak to us from beyond the grave forever.

From the Rabbi’s Study
YOU are the Best Source of Israel Information
As I write this, Israel is at war
with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. My
prayer is, by the time that you read
this, Israel will have a cease-fire.
Having spoken with many
children, teens and young adults over
the years when tensions rise or flareup, I am always surprised by how
little our young people know about
the story of Israel. I am convinced
that the most important educators
about Israel and her importance to
the Jewish people are parents and
grandparents.
Parents and grandparents are
the natural educators about the values
that matter most to the next generation. Everything that we as adults
love is transmitted wordlessly to our

Kinnus in Omaha Hits the Mark
Thirty-one Kansas City USYers joined over 200
others from EMTZA Region for the annual Kinnus in
Omaha, NE, November 22-25. The theme of weekend
was the “Jewstice League,” and we explored what it means
to be a modern day hero. Our exploration was full of
ruach, learning, social action, davening, making new
friends and reconnecting with old ones!!
“In my four years as a member of EMTZA I’ve
never had a Kinnus with discussions so meaningful,
friendships so memorable and hospital visits so spectacular,” expressed Daniel Goldberg.
“I had a great time at Kinnus! I already miss everyone so much and can’t wait until Winter Shabbaton,”
said Sophie Shapiro.
“I was very proud to represent KCUSY while
leading Kabbalat Shabbat in front of over 200 USYers at
Kinnus.” Ricardo Zepeda stated.
“It was amazing and I loved it!” emphasized Elana
Goldenberg
“We are so lucky to have been KCUSYers, chapter
and regional board members, and now staff at Kinnus.
We have been able to experience this convention from every perspective, and are so happy to give back to EMTZA
Region USY because of the difference it has made in our
lives.” observed Elana Goldberg and Jonathan Edelman.

Execut i vel y Speak ing
How Many Jews Does It Take To Install a Rabbi?
On Shabbat Miketz, December 14-15, we will
have the honor of officially installing Rabbi David Glickman as the Senior Rabbi of our shul.
Some have asked-- “What is the purpose of a rabbinic installation? Haven’t we already welcomed Rabbi
Glickman and his family to our community?” In researching the topic I learned that a rabbinic installation is an
American invention which just came into vogue in the
past century. There appears to be no consensus as to the
original purpose of the ceremony. Permit me to make a
humble suggestion. We as Jews separate the holy from
the ordinary and we mark sacred events. For instance, we
separate Shabbat from the rest of the week (Havdalah-literally separation) clean foods from the unclean (Kashrut)
and so on. The Installation of Rabbi Glickman offers us
the opportunity to reflect and mark a sacred moment.
Our tradition teaches us through the Mishna
to “Provide yourself with a teacher, acquire for yourself
a friend and judge every person favorably”. We are so
pleased that our community has indeed found such a wonderful teacher
and friend.
Rabbi Glickman’s mentor,
Rabbi William Gershon of Shearith
Israel of Dallas, will have the honor of
installing Rabbi Glickman on Shabbat morning. And we will have the
pleasure of hearing Rabbi Gershon teach on both Friday
night and Shabbat morning.
The installation committee co-chairs; Erwin and
Phyllis Abrams, Peter and Amy Shapiro and Eric and Lisa
Ginsburg have planned a wonderful celebration.
Please join us on December 14 and 15, as we recognize and give thanks for this sacred moment in the life
of our shul.

Summer Camp
Each year CBS has many students who attend Jewish summer camp
programs, and we know our students thrive at summer camps. A positive
camp experience can have a long term impact on a child.
Need-based scholarship forms for approved camp and Israel programs
are now available on the Beth Shalom website. These need to be completed in
full and returned to the PRS office to Amy Jacobson with a current tax return
form by Friday, January 25th. The maximum amount for scholarships is $500.

Chanukah is around the
corner and while kids are so excited
and full of anticipation, parents are
stressed to the max! The challenge for
parents is how to de-materialize and
de-commercialize the holiday while
still making it fun and meaningful for
everyone!
Here are some ideas:
1. Children can make presents for
their family members. Paint
your own ceramics pieces; hobby
shops and Pinterest have great
ideas!
2. Have a book night for the gift
one night and have your kids
choose some books to donate to
a homeless shelter. Have a family
read-in to enjoy the books and
cozy family time!
3. Kids make the menu one night
and buy food for the JFS Food
Pantry too!
4. Begin New Pajama night to
watch a new movie for family
movie night in PJs!
5. Count all the tzedakah you have
collected all year and have the
kids divide up the money for different charitable agencies. If the
kids are older, have them research
different agencies to donate to!
6. Take your children to the pet
store to buy treats for an animal
rescue organization.
7. Adopt a family from JFS or Operation Breakthrough and have
your kids help shop for that family.
Creating memories and reinforcing our obligation to make our
world a better place can go hand in
hand this Chanukah season!
It’s Chanukah season!

Potato Latkes
Ingredients
• 2 pounds russet potatoes
• 1 small yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons matzo meal
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs,
such as chives or parsley, for garnish
• Sour cream, for serving
6
December 2012
Directions
1. Peel the potatoes and shred them in a food processor fitted with the shredding
blade or in a blender; transfer the potatoes to a large bowl as the food processor
fills up. Repeat with the onion. Transfer the onion to the bowl with the potatoes
and stir in the matzo meal, egg, baking powder and salt. Fill a large skillet with
1/2 inch oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking. (To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of potato into the oil; if
the potato sizzles steadily, the oil is ready.)
2. Scoop the potato mixture by another 1/4 cups-full and add it carefully to the skillet, flattening each latke slightly with a spatula. Fry, turning the latkes once, until
golden brown and cooked through(about 3 minutes). Drain on paper towels. .
3. Serve the latkes immediately, or keep them warm in a 200 degree oven. Garnish
with fresh herbs and serve with sour cream.

Chesed - Acts of Loving Kindness
Chesed, the Beth Shalom committee whose roots
are based in deeds of loving kindness, has been functioning for about twenty years. Most recently, according to
Chairman Merna Siegler, the committee has focused on
visits to hospitalized congregants, follow-up phone calls
after their release from the hospital, and Get Well cards
while they are ill.
Ritual Coordinator Jill Goldstein assists the committee in identifying members who are hospitalized. With
that information a rotating committee of coordinators,
Renana Abrams, Gloria Azorsky, Evie Grant and Sally
Ross assign committee members for visits. Because of the
Federal HIPPA laws, it’s particularly important that our
congregants notify the office when they are (or a loved one
is) ill.
In addition, the committee welcomes our newest
congregants by planting a tree in Israel in honor of newborns.
The Chesed Committee needs new members in order to expand their deeds of loving kindness to serve more
congregants. In the past, the committee provided holiday
gifts to congregants confined to their own homes or to
nursing facilities. More volunteers are needed to resume
this function.
If you’d like to volunteer for any of the Chesed
Committee’s wonderful mitzvot, contact Merna Siegler at
816-942-3670 or mernnsyl@everestkc.net.

Editorial Comments
Homage to my Beloved Rabbi
I was privileged to have a once in
a lifetime opportunity—a phenomenal
teacher! Rabbi Morris B. Margolies, z”l,
was that teacher, and he helped define me
Bev Newman
as the person I am by instilling in me a love Scroll Editor
for and an understanding of Judaism. Rabbi Margolies officiated at Peter’s and my wedding 46 years ago and helped
us celebrate the Jewish lifecycle events of our children.
Peter and I were fortunate to see Israel through his eyes on
two occasions. No other trip to Israel has been as inspiring
as those two trips. Because of Rabbi Margolies championing equality for women in the congregation, I was one of
the early women to be honored with a speaking Aliyah.
Farewell my dear teacher. You will always live within me.
May your memory be for a blessing.

Monday Journeys Dinner
Monday Journeys students will host their annual Chanukah dinner for their parents and families on
Monday, December 10, 6 p.m. in Goldsmith Hall. The
Journeys class, which is for 3rd-5th graders and is open
to students at both the Polsky Religious School and the
Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy, meets on Monday afternoons from 4:30 - 6:15 p.m. The theme for this semester
is “Chanukah”. During the 9-week course, the class spent
time designing and making their own chanukiot which
they will light for the first time at the dinner. They also
learned about kashrut by touring the kitchen and planning
and cooking a Chanukah meal for their families including
homemade sufganiyot, apple kugel and tuna melt wraps.
The last half-hour of each class has been spent learning several Israeli dances which the students will perform during
the evening. As a souvenir of the evening, each family will
receive a Chanukah Game Book, created by the students,
to take home.
The focus of Monday Journeys beginning in January will be on Hebrew. They will expand their reading skills
using the SMART board and many other fun, hands on
activities.
I LOVE HANUKKAH!
By Lydia Schwartz
Candles are pretty, they shine very bright.
Happy is what I am on Hanukkah
I know it with all my might.
All nights are fun, but,
not when the holiday is done
Under each gold wrapper,
there is a sweet surprise.
Kind people have a sparkle in their eyes.
And, latkes are yummy in my tummy.
Have fun on the holiday, it is not crummy.
