From the Rabbi’s Study….
Shalom Aleychem!
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Club Med in Columbia? You could relax, sleep late, eat good
food, have time to spend with your spouse and children, and not even think about work.
You could nap, study, and go for a walk. And it would be really, really great if it was even
affordable.
We can have this, and much more. The torah’s guidelines for Shabbes and Yontiff are directions for creating our own Club Med.
The admissions price isn’t too bad. We do have to prepare our space by cleaning, shopping, and cooking ahead of
time. It costs some money: tradition teaches us to spring for the good food, eating the best food of the week on
shabbes and yontiff. But the most important piece, the hardest piece, is to keep out distractions.
This is where the “39 labors” come in. The 39 labors forbidden on sacred days are the exact same acts required to
build the sanctuary. All of them are sacred work, building a life for ourselves, making our house, procuring food
and clothing. But we need to stop doing these things, stop creating our life, and take the time to step back and enjoy your life. It sounds harsh to say that these labors are “prohibited”—nobody likes being told what to do--but
without clear guidelines, something will always take precedence.
Why is it so hard for us to stop? Why does it seem so difficult to skip work or school for yontiff? I believe that in
this society, all of us have become workaholics. It is hard to take a day where we step back, don’t go to work or
school, don’t shop or do housework, don’t pursue side businesses or other errands, and actually experience the
sanctity of the day. We feel like we’re wasting precious time!
The fact is, though, working on shabbes and yontiff is the true waste of time—of sacred time, of time spent actually being with each other, focusing on what’s important. Shabbes is the Torah’s antidote to modern workaholism.
Abraham Joshua Heschel, in The Sabbath, wrote:
The Sabbath itself is a sanctuary which we build, a sanctuary in time…
The seventh day is the armistice in man’s cruel struggle for existence, a truce in all conflicts, personal and
social, peace between man and man, man and nature, peace within man; a day on which handling money is
considered a desecration, on which man avows his independence of that which is the world’s chief idol.
The seventh day is the exodus from tension, a liberation of man from his own muddiness, the installation
of man as a sovereign in the world of time.
In the tempestuous ocean of time and toil there are islands of stillness where man may enter a harbor and
reclaim his dignity. The island is the seventh day, the Sabbath, a day of detachment from things, instruments and practical affairs as well as of attachment to the spirit.”
On Passover, which is the celebration of God freeing us from external restraints so that we could stand at Sinai and
commit to following God’s will, I want to bless all of us that we allow ourselves to be freed from the bonds of unrealistic and inhumane expectations, and from the rampant disease of workaholism. Use the upcoming holiday as
a way to create the space for kedusha, to experience sanctity of day. Try not going to work or school -- I will personally call anybody’s boss, teacher, or principal to explain to them what yontiff is! If you are already committed
to working on yontiff, try wearing festive clothing, or having a fancy dinner with your family, at which you say
kiddush and hamotzi, or not doing any errands after work. Most importantly, have a zissen Pesah, a sweet and
wonderful Passover.
B’vrocho, Rabbi David Siff

Mitzvah of the Month: The 39 “melachot”
All of the labors which are forbidden on Shabbat are also forbidden on both days of yontiff, except that we are allowed
to carry, cook, and transfer fire on yontiff. Yontiff this year runs from Monday evening, April 2 to Wednesday evening, and also from Sunday evening (4/8) to Tuesday evening (4/10).
Besides the 39 melachot, the Rabbis also prohibited:
a. Activities that might lead directly to the violation of a Torah prohibition.

“Counting the omer” is a simple mitzvah to do. Starting the 2nd night of Passover (i.e.

during the 2nd seder) simply say the blessing for the mitzvah (baruch atah adonay, eloheinu

cation and preparation to stand at Mt. Sinai, and receive the Torah as the culmination of our
count (e.g. “Today is the first day of the omer.”) After the first week, we count by days and
weeks: “Tonight is the eighth day of the omer, which is one week and one day to the omer.”

From the Director of Education….
Shalom,
Purim was a BLAST!
What
fun we all had baking, playing, reading the Megillah and
winning great prizes! Todah
Rabah, to Anny Zalesne,
Shirley Hammer, and Sheila
Davis for all your work. The pictures say it all,
everyone had a grand time! Our sixth and seventh grade students went over to spend a morning
with the students at Tree of Life learning about
Jewish identity, Todah Rabah Risa Strauss for all
your hard work!
Pesach family programming was filled with sharing
stories with our grandparents about Pesach when
they were ‘little’.
The upper school students
studied Jerusalem with Rabbi Siff and learned
why this small place has such a large piece of our
hearts as Jews throughout the centuries. Students, teachers, and parents enjoyed creating a
beautiful Mizrach in either silver or gold foil to
take home and hang on the ‘eastern wall’.
Both Tree of Life Religious School and Beth Shalom Torah School will join in the Yom HaShoah
program to be held on April 15th at 7:00 p.m. at
Tree of Life. Please join the community as we
honor those who survived and those we lost in the
Shoah.
We are now looking forward to Lag B’Omer and an
entire outdoor fun field day! Save the date, May
6, 2007. School ends on May 20th and we will be
celebrating with a MOVIE DAY and ICE CREAM
SOCIAL!!
Remember to bring pennies for our
Tzedakah Penny War so YOUR CLASS can pick
the ice cream and toppings!!!
The adult education committee is working hard
and will soon be sharing it’s commitment to Life
Long Jewish Learning!
Wishing you & those you love a zissen Pesach,
B’vrachot, Rebecca Pinsker
P.S. From now on, you will receive only one
weekly email from the Hebrew School.

Dear Friends of Beth Shalom Religious School,
Education Shabbat is a time to honor those who do as the Torah commands to, “teach
them to our children.” This year it will be the weekend of May 18, 19 & 20, 2007. We
will be honoring ALL teachers and culminating the Religious School year dedicated to Rabbi
Dr. Leon Spotts.
For all his years of dedication to the Religious School and Beth Shalom Synagogue, we are
attempting to have a grove of trees dedicated in his honor in Israel. We are also planning
to create a ‘memory book’ for Dr. Spotts so please send in a memory, a picture, or a joke
for Dr. Spotts to enjoy. We have contacted as many of his former students as possible
and are asking those in the congregation who would like to participate to please send a donation and a story. It is only $5000.00 to create this grove and would be a fitting tribute to a scholar who has devoted his life to Jewish education and our children. If you
would like help organize and be on the planning committee for this celebration, please contact me.
Thank you so much for all your support in honoring all of our teachers and a man who has
truly been there for the families of Beth Shalom.
B’vrachot, Rebecca Pinsker

RAMBLINGS AND RUMINATIONS ON
JEWISH EDUCATON AND JEWISH LIFE
Rabbi Dr. Leon H. Spotts
Beth Shalom Resident Scholar
On Monday, March 19, 2007, letters were sent to approximately
thirty-five families asking them to
participate in a feasibility study to
determine whether Beth Shalom
should undertake a capital campaign to increase substantially our
endowment fund and to make essential capital improvements to our
APRIL: THE “ZIONIST”
MONTH
April is distinguished by the number of important Zionist events
that occurred historically in this
month. In this article we shall focus on one of the most significant
of these events: the founding of
the city of Tel Aviv (April 11,
1909).
aging facility, which is now almost 35 years old. The
Beth Shalom endowment is approximately $800,000, of
which slightly more than $200,000 is in restricted funds.
Approximately $600,000 of the endowment was derived
from the sale of the old BSS Education Building in front
of the old JCC on Trenholm Road. We borrowed
$152,000 from the endowment to replace the airconditioning system in the main sanctuary in 2004. We
had to do this because Beth Shalom, unfortunately, does
not have an adequate building fund. In the past, when
new members were asked to contribute to the building
fund, (and they were not always asked) the funds were
not segregated, but instead were used for our general operating budget. As previously reported, there are several
other substantial capital projects that must be undertaken
in the next few years, including repaving the parking lot,
replacing the roof, further renovation of the kitchen, and
perhaps an expansion of the social hall. These capital improvements are all necessary and provide a valid reason
to undertake a capital campaign, but the main reason the
Endowment Board, which has independent authority
from the Board of Directors, voted to undertake a campaign is that our operating expenses are rising faster than
our ordinary operating income. If this trend continues,
Beth Shalom will be in financial difficulty in the not to
distant future. A modest endowment of $2.0 million
would provide approximately $50,000 in interest income
a year, which would be added to our operating budget.
Many Jewish colonists who settled in Palestine prior to
the establishment of the State of Israel gravitated to the
Arab dominated city of Jaffa on the Mediterranean
coast. As the city of Jaffa became increasingly overcrowded and disturbances between Arabs and Jews
waxed ever more frequent and violent, the Jews living in
the Jaffa area decided to build a Jewish suburb to the
north of Jaffa. The original housing tracts were registered under the collective name of Ahuzat Bayit
(“homestead”) beginning in 1908, and settlement in the
new suburban area began on April 11, 1909. The following year, 1910, the expanding northern outskirts of Jaffa
were incorporated as a new municipality with the name
Tel Aviv (“Hill of Spring”).
The place-name Tel Aviv occurs only once in the
Tanach (Hebrew Bible), in the Book of Ezekiel, 3:15.
There, the name Tel Aviv apparently refers to a site in
Babylonia, where the Prophet Ezekiel delivered one of
his divinely inspired messages to the Jews in Exile in
that land. The name Tel Aviv is also the title which the
Hebrew literarist, Nahum Sokolow, gave to his Hebrew
translation of Theodor Herzl’s book adumbrating the
features of a putative new Jewish State, Alteneuland
(“The Old-New Land”).
The Endowment Board engaged Development Consults,
Inc. ("DCI"), the group that the Center used for its initial
fund raising campaign to conduct the feasibility study,
and to help with the campaign if a decision is made to
proceed after the study. Please cooperate when called to
schedule an appointment with DCI. Beth Shalom will
only make it to its 200th birthday if we start to build an
adequate endowment now. Next month I will report on a
new strategic planning initiative recently undertaken by
the Board and give a progress report on the feasibility
study.
The original intent of the builders of the new Jewish
suburb of Tel Aviv was to have it serve as a “bedroom
community” for the then major city of Jaffa. However,
growing friction with the Arabs in Jaffa, culminating in
the Arab riots of 1921, impelled the Jewish leadership to
build a business district within Tel Aviv proper. From
that point on, the city continued to expand northward,
eventually becoming what it is today: the hub of the major megalopolis in the contemporary Jewish State. In
1950 the separate municipalities of Tel Aviv and Yafo
merged to form the metropolis of Tel Aviv-Yafo. Today,
the population of this jurisdiction is approaching 000. Of
these 96% are Jews and 4% are Arabs.

Young Jewish Professionals Group is Taking Off!
by Michelle Segal and Lindsay Rabin
It all began around High Holidays, when a few young Jews in their 20’s & 30’s started talking about how more and more
locals are returning back to the Columbia area after they’ve completed college. An initial event to spark some interest
was a Kol Nidre dinner at a graduate student’s apartment, and then different get-togethers have been happening once a
month since December 2006 with about 20-25 attendees per event. The group, now known as Young Jewish Professionals (YJP) aims to bring together Jews in their 20s and 30s, including those working in the area and graduate students as
well. It was started by Michelle Segal, a Psychology PhD candidate at the University of South Carolina from the Washington, D. C. area, and Lindsay Rabin, a local Columbia resident who returned to her hometown with her husband after
college. Recently, they have just become a program of the Columbia Jewish Federation in an effort to keep the organization permanent and more visible to the public eye. The next event that the YJP are excited about is a Wine ‘n’ Cheese Soiree, which will take place on Saturday, April 14th at the Jewish Community Center in Columbia (Room C) at 8pm. Contact Michelle Segal (segal@sc.edu) for more information or to be added to the listserv.
