The auto transport companies are loading up on northbound cars, which tells us that “season” is ending and summer is on the way. In Florida, rather than using a barometer, we use the loading and unloading of the cars to designate our seasons. Here at Anshei Shalom however, season is never over because we continue to have something doing every day. Speaking of seasons, many of you attended the season finale of our “Anshei After Dark” series. Unbelievable!! It was like the High Holy Day crowds, with over 600 people having a wonderful time as they enjoyed a great evening of entertainment. The series will continue the second Wednesday of every month beginning in November. Kudos to the committee for doing such an excellent job producing this entertaining event. Looking ahead, we continue with the program of activities and entertainments that are the hallmark of TAS. Many thanks to Larry Feinberg, our Lifelong Learning Coordinator, for our new Spring - Summer Catalog of programs and lectures. What better way to start the week than to Learn to Pray with Genia Kutner, Monday mornings at 10:30. We are busy every day, lectures are given by learnered professionals and are available every Monday afternoon at 1:30. Tuesday morning at 10:00 join Nora Gerson for Yoga. Meet a friend for lunch and come back at 1:00 for Beginners Bridge with Dr. Gladys Morse. Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, join us for Movie of the Week. Get a good nights sleep so you are well rested and ready for a smorgasbord of activities that are available on Thursday: Hebrew Conversation at 10:00 with Sara Ritzner, Beginners Bridge II at 1:00 and stimulating lectures at 1:30 given by experienced Count Up! We usually think in terms of a countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and blast off! is the familiar NASA refrain for awaiting an exciting event. When we eagerly anticipate a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary, or vacation, we count down the number of days until our simcha occurs. But when it comes to Counting the Omer, the period between Passover and Shavuot, or redemption to revelation, we reverse and count up. For the Sefira daily count, we say today is the the thirteenth day of the Omer. For the fourteenth, today is the fourteenth day, etc. Why is the tradition to go 1, 2, 3, since we are excited to inch ever closer to Shavuot, the Festival of receiving the Torah? We would presume a more traditional countdown scenario. Our sages inform us that indeed we anxiously anticipate Shavuot. However, we count up because each day represents a step on the road to Sinai. We should see our 24 hour gift as an opportunity for spiritual growth, and not just a means to an end marking the days to our Holiday. Life is best lived in the same manner. Rather than while away our hours to the next celebration, or family occasion in a restless manner, we should live every day as a challenge to improve ourselves. Each 24 hour period should not be spent living for tomorrow and awaiting a future event. Rather our precious time should be utilized deliberately. Is there a class to take or a skill to master? Then seize the moment today. What a fleeting miracle our day represents, we should experience all it has to offer, for tomorrow it will be gone. The Omer count is an apt metaphor for living wisely. If we can wake up in the morning with anticipation for a new opportunity and conclude our waking hours with the realization that we have accomplished something important, than we have indeed journeyed closer to Sinai then we were yesterday. Count and be counted, Rabbi Raphael Adler (continued on page 13) 3 Sisterhood’s May Bulletin Monday, May 2 Board Meeting - 9:30 a.m. If you are surprised to discover this was not written by Barbara Grau, you are not alone. Unfortunately, Barbara had to resign as Sisterhood President due to health reasons and I, a Sisterhood Past President, stepped in to keep us going. We will miss Barbara as President. She is really special and we wish her a refuah slema. Please come to our last meeting which is in May. We dub this our Mother’s Day meeting. It is always special and you are sure to enjoy it, especially since we are having a wonderful singer entertain us. Do you have ideas on program, functions, fund raising, anything? Please share your ideas with us. Don’t wait. Your suggestions are always welcome, needed and greatly appreciated. We are sisters in Sisterhood and working together affords us the opportunity to do good as well as meeting and making new friends. Have you seen the flyers in the carousel describing Sisterhood functions? In July, we will have a bus trip to Miami and an overnight to the West Coast. Check them out. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the May meeting. Come over and say hello.

This year Yom Hashoah, 27 Nisan falls on Thursday, May 5th. We ask you to light your candle on Wednesday evening just as you would light a Yahrzeit candle for your dear departed ones. On this night the candle represents the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and the additional five million others who perished. These candles are being given by the Men’s Club. Any contribution that you send to us will be used to continue this annual project. Join our commitment to never forget this horrible tragedy. Join us in lighting these yellow candles as a vivid reminder of what happened to our people. PLEASE USE THE MEDITATION BELOW WHEN LIGHTING THE CANDLE MEDITATION Place the Shoah Yellow Candle in your window on the evening of Wednesday, May 4th and recite the following as it is lit: As I light this Yellow Candle, I vow never to forget the lives of the Jewish men, women and children who are symbolized by this flame. They were tortured and brutalized by human beings who acted like beasts; their lives were taken in cruelty. May we recall not only the horror of their deaths, but the splendor of their lives. May the memory of their lives inspire us to hallow our own lives and to live meaningful Jewish lives so that we may help to insure that part of who they were shall endure always. 7 We Pray, We Play, We’re Family Lifelong Learning Rabbi Adler’s Movie Picks Wednesday, May 4th at 1:30pm (Not about the Holocaus A true, honest, tale of life on New York's lower east side in the early 20th century. Storyline by Fannie Hurst very authentic and heart rendering. Well worth seeing to get a glimpse into Jewish life in America one hundred years ago. Exceptional acting and directing with soul stirring musical background effects. Rabbi Adler is a lifelong film and TV buff, and he brings a unique perspective to his movie picks. He will introduce the movie and offer insights. Temple Anshei Shalom welcomes the entire community to attend our Lifelong Learning Center programs at NO CHARGE - Except Rosh Chodesh Luncheons. However, donations are always appreciated. 8 36th Anniversary Sponsor Directory Israel Bonds Jack's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant JB Vacations Jerry Sands Jewish Family Services Jewish National Fund Kariba Farms Larry Serur, C.P.A., P.A.

Relax...Shabbat is here....join Rabbi Adler for Friday night Shabbat services at 7:30, afterwards socialize with friends at our coffee house oneg. Do it again Shabbat morning ... services begin at 8:45. Many of you know that Barbara Grau, our immediate Past President, felt it necessary to relinquish her Presidency due to health issues. Barbara is a woman of many talents, who has left an indelible mark on Temple Anshei Shalom through her years of service to the congregation. Witty, sharp, feisty, direct, passionate and compassionate are but some words that partly describe her. Right now she wants to be with her family and will be leaving the area. I’m sure she knows she goes with the love, admiration and respect of the entire congregation. We wish her and Gil all the best. Please...a personal favor. If you see a new face in the hallways, at a function, at services...please offer a word of welcome. Some people are shy and may not respond...but a smile always works as well.

Determinat As I See It knees. The entertainment industry was Jewish, change your name all you want but the neshama comes through. Think of the films made through the old Warner Brother’s Studios,. Socially conscious, responsible, looking to improve society looking out for the “little guy”:. What is more Jewish than that? To be continued………. By Barbara Grau Jews- We are a wondrous people, talkative, loud, argumentative, pushy, assertive, generous to a fault, community oriented and every other adjective you care to state. We are beloved, detested, envied, incomprehensible to the ”goyim”, everybody’s “bad boy”, the one all love to hate. But we have endured, thrived, rebuilt a destroyed people and stubbornly refuse to die a natural or unnatural death. We have seen more, experienced more, endured more , given the world probably more than they deserved and have been castigated and hated because of it. And yet, mir zenem du. We are Here. Loud, boisterous, even obnoxiously so. But today I address a different issue and problem. Through the millennia, (did I mention we are a very old/young people?there were Jews with what Menachim Begin called Trembling Knees-a bit afraid to proclaim their Judaism .They lost to Islam, a weak copy, lost to Christianity, as a weak substitute. Lost to a nether world of nothing-ness.. They gave up and still do, a treasure of knowledge seeing only groups of people arguing old arguments of minutia. How sad, they miss the point: A group of Jews sitting around a table involved in a disputewhat a concept! Bit of a novelty. Any argument in the name of G-d, to further G-d’s name and fame is a worthy argument. Probably the world’s most famous and widely known would be the dispute between Hillel and Shammai. As fiercely as they argued for the Jewish soul, that is how close they were as friends. Any argument in the name of and advance of G-d’s name Is a worthwhile and holy pursuit. Look at all the fields dominated by great Jewish minds: Law, philosophy, cultural institutions, charities, medicine. The world of philanthropy, changing now, but by these Jews with trembling High Holiday Tickets are on sale now.

The perfect place to do this is to dedicate a “Book Plate” in either the front of the new Chumash or in the new Machzor. It’s easy! Just come to the front office. Membership How does one decide where to live in retirement? One factor is weather. There is some evidence that warmer weather improves mood. People are living longer too! Access to health care is important. The demographic factor in South Florida is certainly providing us with all, and more, than we need. Social ties – or social capital – means literally, wealth in friendship. This is a chief indicator of health, happiness and longevity. Isn’t it wonderful to have friends you can call on in hard times – and who can call on you? Temple Anshei Shalom is the place to form these relationships! So let’s spread the word: to make new friends who can become part of your family, join Temple Anshei Shalom. We Pray. We Play. We’re Family!

A few years ago we were approached to become members in a very small group of people that wanted to start a Chavurah group. My husband and I are very active people, but it is always easier to say yes so we decided to join the group and see if we wanted to add to our many interests. Needless to say, we have enriched our lives even more with the additional friendships we have attained in our Havarat Olam Group and all that we have learned in our monthly topics that we study for each meeting. We, as a group, have supported many of the Anshei Shalom activities and programs. We have also been there for each other in need. Our group has kept in touch when members were in the hospital and later sent Shabbos dinners to their home upon their return. We have mourned at the loss of a member and we have supporting the mate of one of our members who is not well. I have had the privilege of experiencing a joyful expression of our group's caring personalities. We meet on a monthly basis and this last meeting just happened to be on my birthday. The hostess said, "This will be a celebration ", and so it was. Our meeting at her house was a luncheon where she made a wonderful entrée and each member brought a different dish. Even the visiting children, my daughter and someone's son, were invited. I mentioned this to someone at the synagogue and she said she was not aware that we had Havarat's. I am now purposely writing this so that perhaps others will form their own Havarat's and experience the same togetherness that we have achieved with our group.

There are restrictions during this time: no weddings, no music, no haircuts or shaving. The Talmud tells us that Rabbi Akiva had 24,000 students who tragically died during the Omer period because they did not treat each other with sufficient respect. Therefore, for 33 days, until Lag B’Omer, (18 day of Iyar / 33rd day Omer ) we observe these restrictions. We cleared our homes of leaven and matzohed our way through the week-long Passover to recognize a Second Passover (Sunday, May 22). In Numbers 9:6-7, G-d established Pesach Shemi, a second Passover for those unable to attend the first Passover offering the previous month. It is said that this Teshuvah, second chance, allows the power of repentance and “return”, suggesting that the Second Passover means that there is never a “lost case”. It is during this time that we should look for the best way to treat our family, friends, and new acquaintances, so that we may make a “tikkun” (spiritual correction) on the mistakes of the past. Please join us to commemorate Lag BaOmer, (18 day of Iyar / 33rd day Omer) on Tuesday, May 26th and smile, say good morning to strangers, wish people at our Temple a good day when you pass them and take a moment to ask about their health or their family. This holiday also marks the date of the death of Talmudic sage, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. It is a celebration because tradition has it that on his death bed, Rabbi Shimon revealed the secrets of the Zohar, the book of Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah). In Israel, on this one day, it is estimated that 250,000 people visit Rabbi Shimon’s grave in the Galilee town of Meiron. Around Israel, they dance, pray and some camp out for days before Lag B’Omer.
