FROM THE RABBI'S STUDY
RABBI BARRY BLOCK
Dear Friends:
Jews don’t usually advertise our faith. Particularly
not in the newspaper. This month, though, our
congregation will be taking out advertisements
in the Democrat-Gazette and the Arkansas Times, to invite participation in a
program called, “A Taste of Judaism,” which I plan to teach at the Temple on
Thursday evenings, March 31 and April 7 and 14, 7:30-9:00 pm.
“A Taste of Judaism” is an offering of our Union of Reform Judaism. I taught
the program previously in San Antonio. “A Taste of Judaism” invites people
in our community, individuals of any faith or none, to come to our Temple
and to gain an introductory insight into our tradition. Each of the three
sessions focuses on one of the central pillars of Judaism, God, Torah, and
Israel. (“Torah” for this purpose refers more to Jewish teaching and practice
than to Scripture itself. “Israel” in this case refers more to Jewish peoplehood
than to the Jewish State.)
The course is very introductory, so it isn’t primarily designed for Temple
members. However, the program is particularly meaningful for people who
aren’t Jewish but who have Jewish family members, including members of
our congregation. Even some of our members may welcome the refresher!
Last summer, Ellyn Polsky submitted an application for a URJ grant, which
covers two-thirds of the cost of the advertising, the balance of which will be
made possible by a grant from my rabbinic discretionary fund. There is no
charge for participation, but advanced registration is required. If you are
interested, or if you know somebody who would be, please contact Ellyn,
225-9700 or epolsky@bnai-israel.us.

Our congregation is often host to church groups that come for tours late on
Friday afternoons and then stay for our worship service. Dale Ronnel, Emily
Lewis, and other volunteer docents provide invaluable service, sensitively
sharing our faith with young people and adults from interested churchesabove all, Methodists fulfilling a confirmation requirement of the United
Methodist Church.

Close observers will quickly notice who’s missing from our wonderful
collection of wonderful guests. Since virtually all are church groups, nonChristians and those who are unchurched are not often among our visitors.
The large majority are white and are socio-economically similar to our own
membership, simply because that’s who asks to come.

Rabbi's Message
FROM THE RABBI'S STUDY continued...
course, but the program does occasionally attract a few people who
are interested in becoming Jewish but had no idea where to start. In
addition, “A Taste of Judaism” can attract folks who are Jewish – or
who have a Jewish parent, grandparent, or other ancestor – but who
never were offered a formal Jewish education.
Welcoming the entire community into the Temple has always been
important to Reform Judaism and this historic congregation. Even
for those who don’t sign up and participate, the “Taste of Judaism”
advertisements send a powerful message that all are welcome at
Congregation B’nai Israel.
Faithfully,
Rabbi Barry Block

We are grateful to Emma Figarsky,
who is completing her year-long StandWithUs High School Internship Program. Co-sponsored with JFAR and CBI, Emma
hosted the event that brought two
former Israel Defense Forces officers to
share their memories of growing up in
Israel, and their experiences in the IDF. “StandWithUs” is an international, nonprofit organization that believes that
education is the road to peace. High
School and College Students are trained to inform the public about
Israel in order to combat extremism and anti-Semitism that often
distorts the issues surrounding the Arab-Israeli conflict.

A TASTE OF JUDAISM:
Are You Curious?
for our Unaffiliated Friends and Family
Thursdays, March 31, April 7, April 14 • 7:30 – 9:00 p.m.
Ever wondered how you could invite your friends and family
to experience a ”taste” of Judaism at our Temple without undue
pressure? Now there’s an answer! TASTE OF JUDAISM: Are You
Curious? will be held in our congregation this spring. The class
is being taught by Rabbi Block and is sponsored by the Union for
Reform Judaism. This FREE, three session Outreach program is open
to the unaffiliated Jews and non-Jews- all are welcome.
Please take advantage of this opportunity to reach out to your
extended family members, future in-laws, neighbors, and friends and
offer them a “taste” of what makes Judaism so special right here in
our own community. If you know anyone that you think may benefit
from A TASTE OF JUDAISM please have them register online at
http://www.reformjudaism.org/taste-judaism%C2%AE
Book discussion and signing with
Dr. Michael Cooper
Saturday, June 18 at 7 p.m.
Be here, and bring your book club too.
Welcome Dr. Cooper, winner of the 2011
Indie Publishing Contest Grand Prize for
his book FOXES IN THE VINEYARD to
our congregation for a book discussion
and signing. Dr. Cooper, a pediatric
cardiologist in Northern California,
has volunteered 20 times for medical
missions, to serve Palestinian children who lack access to medical
care. He also serves on his synagogue’s Israel Engagement committee.
He began writing historical fiction to convey a message of coexistence
and hope for reconciliation and peace in Israel.
THE RABBI’S KNIGHT is his second novel.

Miriam’s Seder
Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 6:00pm, in the Teen Lounge
Facilitated by the CBI Sisterhood
Miriam’s Seder follows a special Haggadah called “The Journey
Continues”. It is deeply committed to women’s full integration in every
aspect of Jewish life and practice. The Haggadah also enriches and
renews Judaism by exposing the voices and experiences of women of
the past, including the women who are part of the Exodus story–the
acts of civil disobedience of the midwives Puah and Shifra, of Miriam
at the shore of the Sea of Reeds, and Miriam’s Well. By recognizing
them, we reclaim the women’s participation in Jewish history. Each year
there is a new associated theme. Everyone is invited. The cost is $18
per person and reservations are required. RSVP to the Temple office.
The “Torah on Tap” program
is now called “J-Rock”.
The first “J-Rock” Event will take place on March 26 at the Lost Forty
Brewing and Taproom. If you are interested in meeting new and
interesting people, and if you are a Millennial (give or take a few
years) you are invited to the party!
The “Twenties and Thirties” young adult group known as “Torah on
Tap” is alive and well, and moving on in name and structure. The new
name is “J-Rock” and they are planning to rock the Jewish singles
and young family scene in Little Rock. Last year we entered into a
partnership with the Jewish Federation of Arkansas to consolidate
our programming efforts and combine contact lists for this target
group, which has been meeting under the Lifelong Learning umbrella
for six years. With support from Marianne Tettlebaum and several
“senior” advisors, participants have begun to plan the next events,
which include a variety of social, study, and social action programs.
Schmoozerama!

“…fascinating as a historical novel, thrilling in the twists and turns
of the story, and delightful in the manner in which important aspects
and concepts of Kabbalah are presented to a general readership.”
—Ronit Meroz, Ph.D., Department of Hebrew Culture Studies—
Division of Kabbalah and Hasidism, Tel Aviv University
Join us in the cozy Teen Lounge from 6:00 P.M. – 9:00 P.M. Bring a
dish that serves 8. Enjoy the company and the show! Reservations
are requested for planning purposes. RSVP thru the Temple office.
(Please enter through the back door closest to the teen lounge.)
“…a wonderful, exciting, and most entertaining story.”

Tel Aviv University. Chair of the Israel Jewish Educational Research
Association
Gentleman’s Agreement: A reporter pretends to be Jewish in order
to cover a story on anti-Semitism, and personally discovers the true
depths of bigotry and hatred. The 1947 film was directed by Elia
Kazan and stars Gregory Peck and Dorothy McGuire.
Both books are available for purchase in the office. Half of the proceeds
will be generously donated back to the Lifelong Learning program.
Dr. Cooper will donate the other half of the book sale proceeds to
his late sister Adrienne Cooper’s legacy fund, the “Adrienne Cooper
Dreaming in Yiddish Fund”, which continues her efforts of reviving
the Yiddish language and culture. He will give a copy of her first solo
CD, Dreaming in Yiddish, with every book purchased.

Coffee, Cake & Conversation
Tuesday, March 8 at 11:30 in the library
Judge Audrey Evans, who served as a federal bankruptcy judge
in Arkansas for over a decade, takes great pride in the legacy of
Judge Jacob Trieber and looks forward to sharing his life story. An
immigrant with no formal education, Judge Trieber went on to
become the first Jewish person to serve as a federal judge as well as
a brilliant jurist with a vision that was way ahead of his time. The
opinions he wrote while on the bench remain a crucial part of our
understanding of the Constitution today. Join Judge Evans to discuss
Judge Trieber’s continued importance to all people.

TEAM CHALLAH WANTS YOU!
JEWISH FOOD FESTIVAL • APRIL 10, 2016
WE’RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD CHALLAH BAKERS!
Truth be told, we can use as few or as many as you’d like to bake, so tie
on that apron and join our merry band. Not a challah baker yet? We
will gladly teach you, so grab a couple of friends and let’s get going!
Last year, with only a few bakers, we sold over 200 loaves of challah
before 1:30. Obviously, we need more bakers which is where you
come in. You may bake in your home or join a baking session at the
Temple, and you may use either your own recipe or we will share ours
with you.
Best thing about baking challah? The aroma. It’s seriously intoxicating.
So, please challah at either of your Challah Booth Co-Chairs, Trudy
Jacobson at mamatrudy@gmail.com 501.690.7491 or Meg Marion
at meg.marion@comcast.net 501.951.3345 to get this challah party
