RABBI’S MESSAGE
Dear Friends:
Passover marks the beginning of a trek that our
tradition says lasted fifty days, a journey from
the shore of the Reed Sea to the foot of Mt.
Sinai where the Israelites received the Torah.
This period of seven weeks plus one day is
called S’firat HaOmer, the counting of the
barley sheaves, in recognition of the fact that
this was a time when the first crop of barley was
harvested in the fields of Judea.
For the first month of the period, there was a lot
of work to do – planting, tilling, weeding, all
sorts of agricultural chores. But
starting on the 33rd day of the cycle
(Lag b’omer), there was little to do
except wait for the growing plants to
mature and produce a crop.
According to tradition, it was on this
day that weddings were held, since
inactivity in the agricultural arena
made this a superb time for a
honeymoon. By the 50th day, it was
time to go back to work!
If you were not planning to get married,
however, the prescribed activity for this time of
the year was study, getting ready for the
revelation of the Torah by planting seeds of
knowledge. And this reality from our tradition
reminds me of something that happened in midApril in the year 1770.
Moses Lindo was a Jewish merchant in
Charleston, SC. Not himself prosperous, he
nevertheless responded to a fund-raising appeal
by giving five pounds to the newly-established
Rhode Island College (later renamed Brown
University). Why did he do this? Because RIC
had decided to admit students without
considering their religious affiliation. When
Lindo had been a young tailor in London, he
had been blackballed from the Merchant
Page 2
Taylors School because he had been Jewish; he
did not forget that slight. So, when RIC assured
him “that the children of Jews may be admitted
into this institution and entirely enjoy the
freedom of their religion,” that they would be
exempt from attending Christian religious
services and that they could establish their own
Hebrew language program with a Jewish
instructor, he was ecstatic.
That latter proposal was never implemented
because there were not very many Jewish
students in Rhode Island; in fact, as the
Revolutionary War broke out, the RI Jewish
community was devastated by British attacks.
But this does not diminish the importance of the
original offer, which marked the first
American proposal for collegiate
Jewish studies. At other schools,
Hebrew was taught as part of the
Christian theological curriculum by
ministers or Jews who converted to
Christianity.
So, here we are in the middle of the
period of the Omer. No one of us has
any sheaves of barley, so what does it
mean to us. We are fortunate to have much the
same kind of leisure that the farmers of ancient
Israel had in the late Spring, and we can look
forward as they did to the revelation of Torah
on Sinai. We can look forward by immersing
ourselves in the books and the magazines that
help us understand what the biblical climactic
moment has meant over the centuries. You
don’t need to go to Brown or any of the other
great universities where there are now Jewish
studies programs; you have that availability
right in your own home. Moses Lindo made a
financial contribution to get the academic ball
rolling. You don’t need to give a dime. All you
need to do is open the book and start learning.
Shalom,
Kenneth D. Roseman, Rabbi

We welcomed Spring with a wonderful and meaningful Temple Passover Seder in which Congregants participated by reading portions of the
Haggadah and joyously recited a “Passover Rap.” I want to thank both
Rabbi Roseman for providing us a festive, thoughtful and creative
Passover service and Phyllis Roseman and the Sisterhood for the delicious Passover supper. Coming attractions for the Spring also include
Rabbi Roseman’s Sunday morning lecture series, Yom Hashoa, Israel
Independence day and Shavuot.
Of course, we have Friday night services, Saturday morning traditional
services, and Saturday morning Torah Study. All of these events are
opportunities for each of us to separate from our hectic secular world
and immerse ourselves in our Jewish heritage and traditions. I encourage you to join us to learn, participate in our Jewish traditions or to just
meditate and think—whatever works for you.
This spring members of your Board of Trustees with the leadership of
Julia Noble and Richard Hausman also have been very busy in preparing for the important Town Hall meetings that will be conducted over
the next few weeks. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of your
ideas and opinions regarding the future of the Congregation. Through
this process we will identify the activities and services you feel will
meet our congregation needs over the next 5 years or so. Once that information is studied, the results will be used in three ways:
1. Through the Newsletter we will let you know what the Congregation
members told us.
2. The Board of Trustees will be using the information both to support
and improve current programs and create new programs and activities
the Congregation feels we need in order to serve the diverse needs of
our community.
3. This information will be used by the Rabbinic Search Committee to
help complete our application and create a set of questions to be answered by prospective candidates. This will allow us to find the best
Rabbi available to lead us in providing our congregants the religious,
educational, cultural, social, social action, and interfaith activities and
services we have identified as a community.
We have a wonderful family of families, but like all organizations we
need to see how we can get even better and ensure we are meeting the
needs of our entire Jewish Community.
I look forward to seeing all of you at one of the Town Hall meetings.
Shalom,
Jim Gold

Strategic Planning Committee
to host Town Hall Meetings
As you know, the Strategic Planning Committee has scheduled three Town Hall meetings. One has already convened. Please make every effort to join us for one of the
next two meetings either on:
Thursday 4/11/13 at 7:00 – 8:30
Sunday, 4/14/13 from 3:00-4:30
These meetings are designed to gather information and opinions that will be given to
the Rabbinic Search Committee as they begin to look for our next rabbi. Town Hall
meetings are designed for the discussion of your ideas, hopes and dreams for our congregation. We shall be discussing ideas like: What kind of community do we want our
congregation to be? What should our future look like? What are the most pressing
needs in our congregation? The answers to these questions and others must come
from you. To gather useful and relevant data about ourselves most effectively, we
need a group that is diverse in mindset and experience. This is your chance to be part
of the process. We invite Jews who are not members of Congregation Beth Israel to
join us in this process as well.
We ask you to participate, collaborate and join together in generating the ideas that
will inform the Rabbinic Search Committee, whose work will be to select the very
best religious leader to match our idea of who we are and who we wish to become.
Julia Noble and Richard Hausman
Sponsor an Oneg Shabbat
We are seeking sponsors for the Friday Night Oneg Shabbats. The Temple will provide the drinks while
the Sponsor(s) will provide the cakes, fruits and other Oneg snacks. We believe this is a wonderful way
to honor people for special days in their lives or to memorialize loved ones on their Yahrzeits.
If you wish to participate, please call Debbie at the CBI office and tell her the date you wish to reserve.
Several families can share each Oneg. The only dates not available are the monthly Family Dinner dates
and B’nai Mitzvah dates.

A MITZVAH OPPORTUNITY
On Saturday, June 15, 2013, CBI is going to partner with a number of local churches to
package meals for hungry children and their families.
Here’s how it works. A production line will be set up at the First United Methodist Church
on Shoreline Blvd. The United Way of the Coastal Bend is supplying all the food and
packaging materials, so there is no cost to any participant. The activity will be sponsored
and organized by Outreach-Kids Care, a national philanthropic organization that runs such
programs all across the U.S. The bagged meals will then be distributed to local food pantries. All that is required is that our volunteers show up for a two-hour shift, walk around
tables and put dried food into plastic bags and share in the joy of doing a mitzvah with an
interfaith coalition of like-minded folks.
We expect to package 100,000 macaroni and cheese meals in two two-hour shifts. Our
shift, since this is the Shabbat, will be from 12:00 noon until 2:00 P.M. This is an activity
that is open to people of all ages, grandparents to grandchildren. It is especially suitable
for families.
Please call the CBI office at 857-8181 to tell us that you’ll join our crew and help the
hungry.

CHANGE OF SCHEDULE FOR SUNDAY LECTURE SERIES
Due to a calendar confusion, the lecture by Rabbi Roseman originally scheduled for Sunday,
April 7 will not be held on that date. Instead, the entire series will be pushed back a week, and
the fourth lecture will be held in early May. We apologize for the need to correct this schedule
and look forward to seeing you on Sunday, April 14 for the start of the series.
The course will be entitled CHALLENGES IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN RELIGION and will deal with some of the most difficult issues and challenges that all American religions confront in the twenty-first century. Here is the tentative schedule of his lectures.
Sunday, April 14 This day happens to be Yom HaShoah, so Rabbi Roseman will be dis
cussing the difficulty of maintaining faith in the light of both scientific
challenges from the last two hundred years and the Holocaust. Does
this difficulty play out differently among Jews and among Christians,
or are the issues the same? Can a Jew remain Jew and, at the same
time, declare himself/herself to be an atheist or an agnostic?
Sunday, April 21 In philosophical circles, scholars talk about epistemology, the study of
how one acquires knowledge. Religious people also have enquiring
minds, and they want to know what to believe, what is true and what is
false. Rabbi Roseman will probe with us the question “How does anyone know anything?” In this regard, he will also talk about how liberal Jews use the classic texts of the Jewish tradition to make judgments
about contemporary issues.
Sunday, April 28 Rabbi Roseman calls this lecture “Barefoot and Pregnant – or That’s
How It Used To Be.” Not just among Jews, but across the American
religious spectrum, the role of women in religious activities has
changed radically in the last fifty years. Some even suggest that
American religion has become a matriarchate. Have men been pushed
to the sidelines? What’s going on? Rabbi Roseman will explore this
subject with us in this talk.
Sunday, May 5 A number of contemporary religious issues have been adjudicated by
the nine black-robed priests in America’s highest temple of justice, the
Supreme Court. In this final lecture of the series, Rabbi Roseman will
help us understand some of the issues that the justices have dealt with
and how they have justified their decisions based on constitutional law
and, especially, the first amendment.
All of these sessions will take place in the Grossman Auditorium at 10:30 AM on
the designated Sundays. Everyone is cordially invited, including guests of members
of CBI. Light refreshments will be available at 10:00 AM.

RABBI LAWRENCE TROSTER TO LEAD
TRADITIONAL SERVICES FOR HIGH HOLYDAYS
We are very pleased to announce that Rabbi Lawrence Troster of Teaneck,
NJ will be leading our traditional services for the High Holydays in September of this year. Here is just a little preliminary information about him.
Rabbi Troster was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America
in New York City and spent most of his pulpit career in his home town of
Toronto, Canada. After more than twenty-five years, he moved to the New
York area, where he continues to teach and to work with various organizations involved in relating Jewish values to the environment. He is a wellpublished author in the field of Jewish ethics and philosophy.
Rabbi Troster is married, and his wife and he will remain in Corpus Christi
during the entire holyday period. Their children are married and will not
be accompanying them.
NEW LEADERSHIP FOR RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
Susan Martin has announced her resignation as head of the CBI
religious education program. We are enormously grateful to
Susan for the many ways in which she has enriched the entire
congregation and, especially, our young people. Her dedication and devotion to the responsibilities of this position have been exemplary.
We are very pleased to announce that this position will be filled by Jana
Zager, beginning officially in June. In fact, Jana and Susan have already
been collaborating to assure a smooth and effective transition and to create
an even more dynamic program for next year.
Please congratulate Jana when you see her. More important, please tell her
ways in which you might be able to help strengthen the educational program that we offer to our youth. We can really use your help.
