Nissan 5774 • April 2014
Rabbi’s Message
On Passover, we gather around seder tables and celebrate the
birth of the Jews as a nation. Crossing through the parted
birth waters of the Sea of Reeds, we reenact our transformation from slaves to free men and women: a people is born.
Thoughts of our people’s beginning and images of Jews
celebrating it throughout the millennia floated around my head as I attended
the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., at the beginning of
March. For thousands of years we have recalled, remembered, and through
the seder, reenacted our people’s being called into existence by God, who
lured them out of Egypt, through the Sea, and across the wilderness to eventually enter into the promised land.
While the Torah debates with itself as to what the exact dimensions of this
promised land were to be—giving several different descriptions as to the
land’s borders—our claim to the land of Israel and our right is fundamental
to our self understanding.
Obviously not everyone agrees.
At the AIPAC Policy Conference, the ongoing (at least at the time of writing
this) negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and between the Israelis and
Palestinians were primary focuses of many discussions and speeches. But
much time was also given over to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
Movement (referred to in the shorthand as BDS) that has been building in
Europe and is slowly taking hold here on our shores.
And they are all dangerous. A nuclear Iran and a growing Palestinian population offer serious challenges to Israel’s existence and existence as a Jewish and
democratic state. These problems are real, tangible, and immediate. But the
BDS Movement is dangerous as well. Funded by a wide variety of groups
that have explicitly sought Israel’s destruction, the BDS Movement attempts
to tap into the residual feelings about South Africa by comparing Israeli
treatment of the Palestinians to Apartheid. This is an outrageous claim!
While Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians can, needs to be, and has been
examined—and in some cases challenged—to call Israel an Apartheid state is
both morally and intellectually irresponsible.
The BDS Movement calls Israel’s very right to the land into question and
seeks to undermine Israel’s legitimacy in the eyes of the world. It is, in the
words of Prime Minister Netanyahu, a modern form of anti-Semitism. And
it is busy. This March and April, there are Israel Apartheid Week campus
events in over 250 U.S. cities, as well as pressure on entertainment and
cultural figures to cancel appearances in Israel, along with efforts to gain support for BDS from important religious institutions. And all of this is coupled
with economic struggles in corporate boardrooms, among trade unions, and
BDS’ “academic jihad” against Israel on campuses.
Questioning and Freedom are intimately linked—the very purpose and
structure of the seder is predicated on this premise. But questions about
particular policies and actions are very different from questions about a
country’s legitimacy. While the former must be encouraged and embraced,
the other must be fought and defeated.
This Passover, let us not only celebrate our freedom, but let us also proudly
claim our legitimacy and our right to exist and exist in the land of Israel.

President’s
Message
By Bennett Spiegel
Not long ago, at a meeting of the
Adat Ari El Board of Directors, the
President of the Men’s Club began his report with the
following introduction: “In our never-ending quest
to be more like the women...” The “women” to whom
he was referring were, of course, none other than the
women of Adat Ari El Sisterhood. I have long since
forgotten the substance of the report that followed, but
the introduction has stayed with me as a classic example
of humor by exaggeration that is founded on an undeniable truth. The undeniable truth in this case is that
the Adat Ari El Sisterhood has been and continues to be
a rock at the core of the foundation of our community
and an organization that is most worthy of emulation.
While Sisterhood’s accomplishments over the past 75
years are beyond enumeration, it behooves us to stop
and take note of at least some of the long-term and
ongoing projects that Sisterhood runs, which have been
decades in the making and still permeate our life at
Adat Ari El to this day.
While many synagogues place an emphasis on learning
in general and adult education in particular, Adat Ari
El—thanks to Sisterhood—has real bragging rights on
this score, as it operates its 52nd year of its M.I.D. (Multi
Interest Day) educational experience. It is hard to
conceive of the sheer magnitude of friendships nurtured,
minds sharpened, and ideas shared over the course of the
history of M.I.D. If this were all that Sisterhood had
done, it would have been sufficient (I couldn’t resist the
Passover reference at this time of year).
We have all heard the joke that the essence of Jewish
History may be summarized in the following three
short sentences: “They tried to destroy us. We survived. Let’s eat!” Here’s where our Sisterhood takes
the cake. Believe it or not, Adat Ari El Sisterhood has
been providing delicious Kiddush lunches and snacks
to our community for over 50 years! At a recent Board
meeting, when Rabbi Bernhard asked us all to give
thought to what we think of as the quintessential Adat
Ari El experience, I must confess that my choice was
Sisterhood’s Shabbat Kiddush lunch. Not satisfied with
simply feeding our own community, in 1991 Sisterhood
published “California Kosher” (its fourth cookbook)
in which it shares the recipes of the women and men
of Adat Ari El with the rest of the world, and which
recently was re-released in a 20th Anniversary Edition,
now in its ninth printing, You can get a copy of California Kosher (and many other items of Jewish interest)

THE ECC IS GROWING ONCE MORE!!!
Springtime is a season of growth and blossoming, when emerging buds are seen in nature. Just as springtime has appeared, the
Rose Engel Early Childhood Center at Adat Ari El is blooming
as well.
experience, with CPR training by Rachel Kaplan, and a session
on Jewish customs with the Rabbi. The course will offer a gift
“Blessing Bag” presented by our own Sisterhood to welcome
the newborn and will end with a beautiful Shabbat dinner and
service. For more information, please contact Beryl Strauss at
bstrauss@adatariel.org or the ECC Office at (818) 766-6379.
THE NEST (our Infant Day Care Program) has expanded again
to welcome six new infants, bringing the total NESTERS to 20
children, up from the original six children who began in August.
We are so fortunate to welcome all of these new families into the
Adat Ari El community.
Also congratulations to teacher Suzana Tzimerman who was
awarded the Builders of Jewish Education’s Sara and Simha
Lainer Distinguished Educator Award for 2013-14 at the Bebe
Feuerstein Simon Early Childhood Institute in March. We are so
incredibly proud of her and the tremendous work that she does
on a daily basis for the children of the ECC. As a note, to date,
we are extremely fortunate to announce that there are currently
four BJE Distinguished Educators working at Adat Ari El…Lois
Bell, Jeri Dubin, Tali Soffer, and Suzana Tzimerman. Does that
make us a distinguished school? We certainly think so!!!
In addition, in an effort to bring in other young new families
to our Synagogue, the ECC is offering, in conjunction with the
Adult Studies program, a Jewish Lamaze Class for expectant
parents called “L’Mazeltov.” Beginning April 21st, this six-week
course will integrate traditional Lamaze Childbirth Education,
CPR training, as well as an introduction to Jewish life, traditions,
values, and philosophy. The course will be taught by Lisa
Spiegel, a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, Lactation
Educator, and Doula, with more than 18 years of teaching

President’s Message, continued from previous page
Afternoon of
April 27th
at—you guessed it—the Sisterhood Gift Gallery,
that just celebrated its 62nd birthday!
Finally, I would be remiss if I failed to acknowledge
the critical fundraising role that Sisterhood plays for
our Synagogue and wider community. Every year,
there is a significant line item in our Operating
Budget representing Sisterhood’s fundraising commitment to the Synagogue. Every year, for decades,
Sisterhood has met that commitment. Every
year. What’s even more admirable is that Adat
Ari El Sisterhood has not limited its fundraising
efforts solely to the parochial needs of our community. Through its annual Torah Fund Dinner
and Program, Sisterhood has consistently been and
continues to be the national leader in raising funds
to subsidize the costs of the education of Rabbinical
students throughout the Conservative movement in
New York City, Los Angeles, Jerusalem, and Buenos
Aires. It is thus not an overstatement to say that
there are rabbis throughout the world who, but for
the work of Adat Ari El Sisterhood, would not have
been able to finance their education.
In short, Adat Ari El Sisterhood educates us, feeds
us, and sustains us economically. It has been doing
so for the past 75 years. We now have a chance to
say a big “Thank You” as we honor Sisterhood at
our Spring Gala Dinner this coming May 18th. I
look forward to celebrating with all of you then.
In the meantime, let’s keep trying “to be more like
the women” of Adat Ari El Sisterhood.

ABRAHAM’S TENT: ADAT ARI EL IN ACTION
Valley Friendship Circle
The families benefit through the bit of respite they receive and the
joys of seeing their children happy and playing with friends. The
meaningful bond the volunteer teenagers create with their specialneeds friends also teaches them about selfless giving and
awareness of others.
“I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit�didn’t think I could really do
it, but the day I met Rebecca* my entire view of chessed (acts of
kindness) changed.”
“Even though Jonah doesn’t speak much, the fact that I can tell
he loves me has made me a better person.”
VFC also provides holiday events and Summer Circle programs
both of which include music, sports, crafts, and many other fun and
interactive activities that enhance their social lives. We are
currently in the planning stages of an innovative Entrepreneurs
Club, which will give preteens, teens, and young adults with
special needs the skills to learn something that they can use as a
stepping stone for their future choices of career.
“I only needed eight community service hours; I chose to spend
a year visiting the most amazing person with special needs.”
These are just some of the feelings and thoughts our teen
volunteers have shared throughout the 12 years of the Valley
Friendship Circle. The VFC is a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-sectarian
organization that helps families throughout the San Fernando
Valley.
Beth, a mom of an adolescent boy with high-functioning autism,
expressed what so many other parents feel about their children’s
volunteer friends.
We are unique in that we pair teenage volunteers with children,
teens, and young adults who have special needs. These teens
provide weekly visits through our Friends @ Home program to give
their special friends the opportunity to feel the joy of friendship
through fun and creative activities, sharing and socializing.
“The boys have been a blessing in our lives, and have made
Josh so happy. Their attention and companionship, the way they
play with him, has shown him how to be a true friend too.”
* All names have been changed to protect identity.
If you would like to volunteer or if you know of a special needs child who would enjoy having visits from a Valley Friendship Circle volunteer,
please contact Marla Feinberg, our Adat Ari El liaison to VFC, at marla@timetocook.biz, or (818) 590-9811.�
