ISRAEL BONDS ANNUAL DINNER
On March 3, 2011, the State of
Israel Bonds hosted their
annual Cuban Hebre w
Dinner, “Mojitos Madness and
Sugarcane Dreams”, at
the Eden Roc Hotel on
Miami Beach. It was a
beautiful evening as the
Cuban Hebrew Congregation
was well represented by its
members who came to honor
one of their own, our
President Becky KobrowskiCohen. Sergio Grobler, a great
supporter of the Israel Bonds, presented the King David Award to her with her
children by her side. The award is given in honor of “extraordinary vision and
leadership that has helped to build the Israel of the future while strengthening
the heart of the Jewish people”.

6th ANNUAL PURIM CARNIVAL
It’s hard to believe that we just had our
6th Annual Purim Carnival already.
What a success it was!!!! Not only was it
a day full of sunshine, rides, games,
music, great food, family, and friends,
but we raised a substantial amount of
money as well.
Our TBS Purim Carnival is the school’s
largest fundraiser of the year and this
year the PTA has chosen to use the
funds from this great event to replace our playground with a new and
improved one.
We would like to thank all of our dedicated parents, teachers and sponsors for
making this all possible!!!!!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Page 3
Dear Members,
We are off to an amazing start
this year with a variety of
activities, community projects
and a revitalization of our
congregation membership and
Shabbat services. Temple Beth
Shmuel has invited women to
participate in its Shabbat services by honoring
them with an Aliyot. There is excitement in the
air as we move forward in all our preparations for
the 50th Jubilee Anniversary. This will truly be an
exciting and memorable year for all of us.
We have been committed to serve our
congregants and community by making
Temple Beth Shmuel a place where everyone
can pray, gather, learn and grow together. Join
us as we celebrate and pray on March 19th in the
Purim Celebration. The theme this year will be
Mardi Gras. Let’s see if we know who you are.
Remember to bring your masks and receive your
Mardi Gras beads.
I am delighted to say as the Temple continues to
grow, so does our Montessori School.
This year, we will begin the new expansion of the
Montessori School. With this new expansion, we
will be able to welcome 40 new families to our
Congregation. We have the energy of a warm
and spiritual congregation that connects us to
one another and centuries of Jewish traditions.
As a Jewish community, we must continue to
grow.
My own journey at Temple Beth Shmuel has
taken me from a Hebrew school student, Young
Leadership, Temple Volunteer, Montessori
School Parent, Committee Chair of Events,
Board of Directors, School Board Committee,
Executive Board and to have the honor of being
your
President today. There is so much the
Temple has to offer and so much the Temple
needs. I am asking you to get involved, there are
committees, programs and many other important
roles. Make the most of your talents, have a
significant role in the growth and continuation of
Temple Beth Shmuel. Guided by your own
needs, passion and interest, your journey at
Temple Beth Shmuel will be uniquely your own.
We look forward to sharing that journey with you!
Share Shabbat with your Temple family. Bring a
friend to Shabbat the first Saturday of every
month and Temple Beth Shmuel will warmly
welcome you and your friend to a joyful and
special service led by our Rabbi Chizever.
I look forward to seeing everyone throughout the
year enjoying our events and participating in our
programs.
Always remember your Temple is here for you.
B’Shalom,
Becky Kobrowski-Cohen

ON THE WONDERFUL HISTORICAL EVENING
AT THE 50th JUBILEE GALA DINNER
NOVEMBER 12th, 2011
FROM RABBI’S DESK
Page 4
And you shall count from the
next day after the sabbath, from
the day that you brought the
sheaf of the wave offering; seven
sabbaths shall be complete; To
the next day after the seventh
sabbath shall you count fifty
days; and you shall offer a new
meal offering to the Lord. (Leviticus 23:15-16)
The 49-day period between Pesach and
Shavuot is known as the “Counting of the
Omer.” The bringing of the Omer was the first
harvesting of the new crop. This harvesting
continued throughout the 49-day Omer Period
and was brought to a climax on Shavuout with
the offering of the two loaves of bread in the
Temple of Jerusalem.
These 49 days were also integral to the survival
of the farmer. These days were filled with worry
and anticipation as to whether or not the harvest
was going to end in success or failure. Today, it
is safe to say that most of us do not make our
livelihood from agriculture. So, then, how do
we, as modern-day Jews living in urban Miami,
relate to this very scary and unpredictable Omer
period?
One way to find meaning in regards to this
ancient custom is to transport our mindset back
to the days in which our agricultural ancestors
lived, thus, transforming these 49 days into days
filled with anxiety and concern; to create an
awareness that something bigger than us exists
in the universe. But this is no easy task. To
quote Abraham Joshua Heschel:
The awareness of grandeur and the sublime is all
but gone from the modern mind…we teach the
children how to measure, how to weigh. We fail
to teach them how to revere, how to sense
wonder and awe. (Between God and Man)
To combat the unfortunate demise of our “sense
of awe,” what Heschel calls “radical amazement,”
we must undertake the responsibility of making
these 49 days count, by occupying our time with
inner reflection and contemplation. We should
remember that compared to the Divine, the value
that He places on our “worldly concerns” is more
infinitesimal than a mere spec of dust. God does
not care about what car we drive, the size of our
house, our yearly income, how many goals or
hits our children/grandchildren make on Shabbat,
or any of the other material gains we, humans,
might accrue during our lifetime. What is of
substance and concern to God and in fact,
should give us “ultimate meaning” is our relationship to the world around us, how we treat our
fellow man, and how we worship and respect
God – yirat haShem.
Make the Omer Period count for you! Every
night, take a couple of moments out of your
hectic lifestyle and think about what you can do
to deepen your understanding of why you have
been put here on this earth; how you are going to
fulfill your Divine mission; and how you are going
to stand up and be counted.
Chag kasher v’sama’ach! Have a Kosher and
Happy Passover!
Rabbi Richard S. Chizever

MINYAN SERVICE
We are fortunate to offer a daily minyan, where people can start their day in a warm, friendly place.
People from the Cuban Hebrew Congregation, Temple Emanu-El and the local community, as well
as visitors from out of town, get together at Temple Beth Shmuel (Sundays at Temple Emanu-El) to
begin their day with prayer and fellowship. Yet, there are many days when we fall short of the 10
people necessary to read the Torah, chant certain prayers, and most importantly, recite the mourner’s
kaddish. At the time of Yahrzeit, people come to shul to say the memorial prayer and to remember
their loved one. How sad it is then, when a mourner joins us and we are unable to give him/her the
opportunity to perform the mitzvah of kaddish.
This is where you come in. Be part of the minyan. Join us once a week or once a month but, most
importantly, join us.

Spanish Brass Concert
Our sixth concert on January 22nd was a pleasant
surprise to most of the audience who had never before
experienced a concert with only brass instruments,
including a French Horn, two Trumpets, a Trombone and
a Tuba. Only when these instruments are played by First
Prize Winners of the worldwide Narbonne
Competition in France, the most prestigious event of its
kind in the world, can they deliver such a brilliant
performance and SPANISH BRASS certainly did just
that.
The program started with Classical pieces by Handel, Bach, Ewald, and then they surprised us with four
Yiddish Freilach compositions from “The Art of Calmer” and finished the first part of the concert with
“Danzon” by Paquito D’Rivera.
Following the intermission, they got the audience jumping with Spanish tunes like “Seguidillas” (La
Verbena de la Paloma), “Andaluza”(Danza Espanola #5), “La Boda de Luis Alonso” and “ De Cai”.
In between humorous anecdotes and jokes that brought in plenty of laughs, they played Jobim’s “Chega
de Sausade”, “The Side Winder” by Lee Morgan and “Handful of Keys” by Fats Waller, to conclude a
program of great variety. After a standing ovation, they performed some encore short pieces to the
delight of a very appreciative audience.
A lively reception followed with refreshments, kosher pastelitos and pastries, during which, autographed
CDs by the artists were available for purchase.
It was an enjoyable evening of music for which we can thank again our continuing major sponsors,
Rosita and Oscar Boruchin, as well as all our other sponsors, advertisers and volunteers. We also need
to thank our office staff for their tremendous help.

Salomon Klein Scholarship Fund
Staying in Touch with Jeremy Ruder
My trip has been a lot of fun. I have been to Ireland, Scotland, England,
Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, Morocco, Spain, and Italy. During
my travels, I have also been sure to seek out historic Jewish places
along the way. In London, I went to see the Jewish Museum that was
near the Camden Market area. In Holland, I visited Anne Frank's house.
In Morocco, I saw several Jewish cemeteries. In Toledo, Spain, I visited
the Synagogue of El Transito, a 12th century temple in the Jewish
Quarter. In Barcelona, I visited one of the oldest synagogue in Europe,
and also learned about the atrocities committed against the Jews in the
1400s. My next stop is Israel, where I look forward to being immersed in
the Jewish Culture. Afterwards, I plan on visiting Eastern Europe and
some Holocaust sites, and learning more of the horrific incidents
against out people.

Cemetery Burial Plots for Sale
Temple Beth Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation of Miami, Inc. has obtained 60 gravesites in the new
"Genesis" section at Lakeside Memorial Park. These sites are in an exclusive section created for Temple Beth
Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation of Miami members and their families. Each grave costs $2,500-$3,000,
payable to Temple Beth Shmuel - Cuban Hebrew Congregation.
It is wise to do planning and purchase long before the gravesites will be needed. It relieves the family of a
difficult decision if death comes unexpectedly. If you were to purchase similar gravesites at a time of need,
the price would be approximately $5,000.
The graves are located in a brand new section, beautifully landscaped, and can be marked with either a
monument or a memorial plaque. Making a pre-need investment of this sort is a wise decision for you and
your extended family.
Contact Ofelia Ruder at the temple office 305-534-7213, who can arrange your purchase or answer any
questions you may have.
Lakeside Memorial Park is located at 10301 NW 25th Street, Miami, Florida 33172

SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL
Mudar de tiranos para continuar las tiranías
Las masas de la plaza Al-Tahrir, de Alejandría o
Suez que demandaron libertad y democracia no
son lo mismo que el resto de los países árabes,
cada pueblo y cada sociedad, así como cada
gobierno tiene diferentes proyectos, perspectivas
y necesidades. Las movilizaciones no tienen ni
las mismas causas ni los mismos objetivos,
aunque es cierto que el escenario esta abierto.
No obstante la transición egipcia como la
tunecina necesitara demostrar inequívocamente
su voluntad y determinación en la senda correcta
hacia lo que se pregona como un devenir
democrático y positivo.
De momento, mas allá de todo el empuje que se
prende publicitar en función de intereses que no
son los de los 82 millones de egipcios ni de la
totalidad de la población de Túnez, me inclino
por analizar con realismo los hechos. No me
seduce la idea, ni me apura la tentación de
colocarles nombre a las manifestaciones que
aun no han dado la talla de verdaderas
revoluciones. En todo caso, finalizadas las
protestas y derrocados los dictadores, es ahora
cuando debería comenzar la verdadera
revolución y los cambios. Pero cuidado, en
Egipto todo huele más a golpe de estado que a
la caída de una dictadura. ¿Quién tiene el poder
ahora? ¿El pueblo? No; es el Consejo de las
Fuerzas Armadas quien dirige el país. ¿Y quien
conduce ese consejo? El señor Mohammad
Tantawi, un general de 63 años, un conservador
de línea dura, el mismo que hasta los tumultos
fue ministro de defensa de Hosni Mubarak.
Tantawi no es ningún revolucionario, por el
contrario, es un militar retirado que como coronel
combatió al mando de sus tropas en estrecha
alianza con los EE.UU. contra el ejercito de
Saddam Hussein durante la primera guerra del
Golfo, y en el presente, es buen gerente de las
empresas donde las Fuerzas Armadas egipcias
poseen grandes paquetes accionarios en
campos tan variados como la industria turística,
gasolineras, panificadoras, fábricas de
electrodomésticos, cementeras, financieras y
hasta bancos. No cabe duda que Mohammad
Tantawi se convertirá en un administrador de los
privilegios que el y sus camaradas de armas
gozan. La realidad indica que el país de los
faraones hoy es gobernado de facto por una
junta militar designada por Mubarak antes de
renunciar. Por tanto, aquellos que esperan
concesiones y cambios de cara a elecciones
libres deberían (de minima), aguardar el curso de
los acontecimientos de los próximos meses, para
no sentirse defraudados o frustrados.
por George Chaya
George Chaya (Líbano 1959) es
periodista, docente y analista político
especializado en Oriente Medio,
particularmente en lo concerniente a
conflictos étnicos y religiosos y
contraterrorismo. Es Consejero
Académico en varias ONGs en temas vinculados con
derechos humanos, minorías y derechos del niño y la
mujer en los países árabes. Es Miembro Consultivo
de SOLIDE (Organización de Soporte a Libaneses
Detenidos y Exiliados). Es analista en Terrorismo
Internacional para la Fundación Safe Democracy
de Madrid. Es asesor de varios gobiernos
latinoamericanos sobre cuestiones relacionadas a
Oriente Medio.
Se debe entender que en el mundo árabeislámico hay ideologías en pugna que emergen
según el escenario y las facilidades de las que
puedan servirse en determinado momento
político, es tiempo de enterarse que existe una
guerra de las ideas en curso cuyo epicentro se
produce como se observa hoy día en aquella
región del planeta, de ahí que las cosas no han
estado bien allí por los últimos 30 años, pero no
hay que ignorar que siempre pueden estar peor.
No alcanza con movilizar masas con reclamos
genuinos, pero sin liderazgo ni ideas. Para
hablar de democracia verdadera se necesitara
de una revolución determinante, me refiero a
“una revolución cultural en el mundo árabe
islámico que separe a la mezquita del estado”. Y
estamos muy lejos de que ello suceda en este
escenario.
Al final del camino, todo lo que usted estará
observando serán dictaduras, no importa
que ellas sean autocracias o teocracias,
serán dictaduras al fin. En nada cambia
que se sojuzgue a un pueblo con ideas
nacionalistas-arabistas como las de Mubarak,
Gaddafi, Ben Ali y Assad, o se lo haga a través
de estructuras e ideas teocraticas como las de
Ahmadinejad, Al Qaeda o los Talibán, todo lo
que usted ve es gatopardismo puro, es cambiar
todo para que nada cambie. Mientras tanto, los
derechos de las personas continúan
conculcados, sus bienes destruidos y sus
libertades aniquiladas.
Si Occidente interpreta este momento del mundo
árabe-islámico desde el simplismo de causas
revolucionarias incurrirá en error, y lo mismo
para aquellos que saludan la llegada de un clima
de transición tanto en Túnez como Egipto e
imaginan que ello dará lugar a una democracia
Page 21
respetuosa de las instituciones republicanas. En
el mundo árabe es primordial reconocer el
conjunto de actores políticos regionales y los
intereses de cada uno de esos jugadores, pues
el peligro que significan los fundamentalistas
radicalizados en la idea del yihad global va de la
mano con el que encarnan aquellos nacionalistas
a ultranzas; ambos grupos no dudaran en
fagocitar a esa juventud idealista como la que
inicio las manifestaciones haciendo uso de la
tecnología a través de las redes sociales como
Twitter o Facebook.
Occidente se ha replegado por demasiado
tiempo en aquella región del mundo, no ha
querido o no ha podido entender los parámetros
culturales ni idiosincrásicos de los pueblos
árabes y ha pagado altos costos por ello, y nadie
puede asegurar que no pagara un precio mayor
aun. Lo que esta por verse es hasta donde el
mundo libre este dispuesto a permitir el caos que
estos jugadores del mundo árabe-islámico
pueden causar dentro de sus sociedades. Los
resultados de los acercamientos al estilo de las
alianzas de civilizaciones han sido nulos e
ineficaces. Las civilizaciones no se alían, en todo
caso se respetan y es allí donde radico el error
de concepción primario pues hay una sola
civilización “y ella es la humana”. Esto es lo que
no ha comprendido la Unión Europea ni
Washington y los acontecimientos en curso no le
ofrecerán mayor margen de error.

MITZVAH PROJECT
Providing disaster relief in Japan through the Red Cross
The Central Plains Chapter of the American Red Cross is
providing relief to those affected by the earthquake in Japan
and Tsunamis throughout the Pacific. The Japanese Red
Cross is amazing in its ability to respond and be prepared. They have remained cool,
calm and collected and are making logical decisions, which is hard to do when there is
such a large loss of life.
Donors can designate donations directly to:
The American Red Cross in Miami (305)644-1200
335 SW 27th Avenue, Miami, Florida
or to Temple Beth Shmuel (305) 534-7213
Donations in the amount of $10.00 can be made by texting “REDCROSS” to 90999.
