FROM THE RABBI'S STUDY
RABBI BARRY BLOCK
Dear Friends:
Have you heard the one about the Christmas
Tree? It goes like this: The Christmas Tree
is a pagan symbol, adopted by Christians
as the religion spread to northern reaches,
where the evergreen tree was a wintertime symbol of everlasting life. Only later
was it vested with Christian meaning, standing for the cross.
In other words, some people claim that Christmas is no more than a pagan holiday.
They will go to lengths to demonstrate that Jesus couldn’t have been born on
December 25, for example, and will decry the commercialization of the holiday.
Those critics are wrong, of course. Christmas is a meaningful religious holiday for
our Christian friends, relatives, and neighbors. That holiday is about God’s love
for humanity, offering hope. Even if Christmas does now carry some symbols
with pagan origins, its authentic religious meaning trumps the trappings. Even
the commercialism is less important to most celebrants than family togetherness.
And what about Chanukah?
Might our December holiday, too, have pagan origins? Kindling lights around the
time of the Winter Solstice has a distinctly pagan feel to it. Except that it doesn’t.
Not in our experience. Just as the Christmas Tree holds religious significance to
Christians, the Chanukah menorah offers bright religious light to us.
We kindle the Chanukah lights to recall that the Maccabees kept the eternal
flame burning, when oppressive leaders would have snuffed it out. We kindle
the Chanukah lights to keep the flames of Judaism dancing in our own modern
lives, surrounded by a culture that could seduce us away from our faith.
One could say that our winter holiday, too, has become commercialized. As
much as one could claim that Chanukah has pagan origins, we may be more
worried about our holiday’s becoming an occasion to worship the idol of
conspicuous consumption.
A ray of hope: When I ask children about what they like best about Chanukah,
only some of them answer, “the presents.” Many of them, especially the youngest
and most honest, respond: “the menorah!”
This December, let us regard the Christmas celebrations around us with love
and respect for the people who rejoice in them. And first, let us celebrate the
joyous religious message of the Chanukah lights.
Faithfully,

President's Message
VOLUME 14 ISSUE 10
PAGE 3
FROM THE PRESIDENT
LA ASOK B'DIVREI TORAH
The above words, the concluding words to the traditional blessing
recited before Torah study and put into music by many but most
famously by Cantor Jeff Klepper simply states:
Blessed are You Adonai our God
Who hallows us with mitzvot
And commands us to engage in the study of Torah
Repeating we are commanded to engage in the study of Torah.
For most of our lives, we have been exposed to pictures of bearded men
and traditionally dressed children studying Torah under the supervision
of rabbis and other scholars. These images, often taken from movies
and documentaries would seem to suggest that Torah study being done
voluntarily is some sort of throwback to another place and time or
something engaged in by Jews of more traditional upbringing than most
of us. Indeed very few of us would share Rev Tevya's wish that "if I were
rich I'd have the time that I lack to discuss the holy books 7 hours every
day." Certainly this could not be a pleasurable experience to be engaged
in voluntarily in these days. At least I can tell you that I felt that way.
That is until I was exposed to Torah study classes at URJ biennial
conventions and dragged along, sometimes kicking and screaming, by
a good friend or family member. Only then did I began to appreciate
that the Torah is really a pretty well written book or collection of books.
That the Torah not only contains the stories from Genesis and Exodus
that we all studied in religious school, but also lots of other not-sofamous stories and that each of these has lessons to teach which form
the backbone of everything we understand to be good and ethical in the
way we live our lives and treat each other.
Now most of us probably think that we already know all that and that all
the inhabitants of the world know the same thing. Unfortunately we now
know that in many parts of our world this is not the case and that ethical
behavior in these cultures seems cruel and hard to understand. Simply put,
virtually all of what we accept as good and true comes from the Torah.
Furthermore it is remarkable to me how many additional lessons can
be gleaned from the thoughtful way the Torah is written. Could the
writers really have been that clever? We know that the earliest mention
of actual reading from Torah was by the prophet Ezra in the book of
Jeremiah and that the final writing with vowels and cantillation marks
was carried out by the Masoretes in about 600 CE. So for about the
last millennium and a half, our teachers have been challenged to try to
teach us all of the lessons contained therein.
So why do I mention all of this now? Well, for a number of years
our opportunities for Torah study have been somewhat limited. The
Thursday noontime group has a small but loyal following but most folks
can't attend then. Saturday morning service has set aside a small amount
of time for discussion of the week's portion. But the amount of time that
could actually be spent on in-depth Torah study has been limited.
For the last 10 years or so some of us have looked forward to the time
we could devote an hour or so to the study of each week's portion and
that time has come. For the last 2 1/2 years Rabbi Lipper and now
Rabbi Block have provided us with such an opportunity at 9:30 each
Saturday morning. Rabbi Block's enthusiasm for teaching Torah is
almost contagious and although he protests, he is a true Torah scholar.
So why not join the 15-20 of our regulars for some coffee, fruit and a
bagel as we fulfill the Mitzvah and learn some Torah? And for those of
you who can't make it then, let me recommend 10 Minutes of Torah.
Each Monday you will receive by email a discussion of the week's
portion. The remaining 4 days also have Torah related articles from
music to Israel which I think you'd also enjoy. Just go to URJ.org/10
Minutes to sign up. No advertisement or solicitation; just some good
free learnin'.

Seasons of Mussar I
Sundays, February 1 thru May 3
Thursdays, February 5 thru May 7
Created and led by Dr. Alan Morinis, facilitated by Rabbi Barry Block
A Season of Mussar is a 13-week program that aims to help individuals
find balance and strength in key inner traits that are essential for leading
a fulfilling life, in worldly as well as spiritual matters.
COURSE GOALS
•To equip individuals with the tools of Jewish spiritual practice–the
centuries-old Mussar practices that purify and elevate the traits of the soul
•To create a supportive learning community in which participants can
share and explore together
•To strengthen the place of spirituality in the local Jewish community.
THE PROGRAM
Every week, over a 13-week period, each participant receives an email
of teachings and practices focused on a single middah (soul-trait).
This email contains an original composition that pulls together and
interprets, in accessible language, traditional Mussar teachings on the
trait in focus. Questions, exercises and suggestions are provided to
prompt inquiry and insight.
Every two weeks, Rabbi Block will lead a face-to-face meeting to
address questions and practices focused on the middah of that week,
and to discuss personal progress, insights and issues. Experience
has shown that these meetings create powerful spiritual community,
reinforcing commitment and deepening participants’ learning. Rabbi
Block, an experienced Mussar facilitator, has been trained by Alan
Morinis and The Mussar Institute to lead this program.
In the period between group meetings, students are assigned materials
to study with a chevruta, a learning partner to whom they are matched
within the program.
Each middah is studied for two weeks, so that 6 middot are studied in
the full program (with the final week reserved for a conclusion).
The middot covered in A Season of Mussar are humility, anger,
gratitude, trust, honor, and alacrity.
Fee: Registration for “A Season of Mussar” costs $100, payable to The
Mussar Institute, none of which is paid to Congregation B’nai Israel.
Rabbi Block is offered a modest fee for facilitating, which he does
not accept personally, but which enables scholarships. Please contact
Rabbi Block for confidential scholarship assistance.

On November 8, LaFTY members volunteered to make
breakfast for the residents at Our House. Nine dedicated LaFTY
members, with help from some of their parents, woke up very
early on a Saturday morning to give their time to help others in
need. This was part of the NFTY-Southern Social Action Day
where youth groups across the region participated in various
social action activities. In addition to serving breakfast at
Our House, LaFTY also made jars of hot chocolate mix and
marshmallows to include in the Thanksgiving baskets that the
B’nai Israel Social Action Committee is preparing this year.
Registration for NFTY Convention is still open: Convention will
take place in Atlanta on February 13-17, 2015. For information
or to register, please visit http://www.nftyconvention.org/.

has participated in Sisterhood this past year. Without everyone working
together, it would not have been possible.
Shalom,

Ati’Day Yisroel News
Ati’Day had another successful Fall Festival in October, raising more
money for our playground renovation project. Please be on lookout for
additional information about our plans for this and how you can help!
We are also putting together an Alumni List, so if you or any one in
your family attended Ati’Day, please let us know. You can email Darcy
Krupitsky about this at dargym21@yahoo.com.
As we move into December, our children will be learning more about
winter and its related themes. This includes winter wonderland, winter
animals, Hanukkah and holidays around the world. We will have our
annual Hanukkah Program with special performances by each class on
December 18 at 11 am in the Social Hall/Tenenbaum Center area. It is
our pleasure to invite anyone to come observe and enjoy wonderful
presentations from the children. Please contact Amy at atidaypreschool@
gmail.com if you are interested in attending so we have an accurate count.

Shabbat in the Rock
Chanukah Dinner and Party
Friday, December 19 • 7:30 pm
Following “Shabbat in the Rock, Chanukah Edition”
all-music Shabbat for Chanukah
In light of events transpiring in Israel and Jewish communities around
the world, Zionism has become one of the most important and
misunderstood of Jewish philosophical concepts. From its roots in
Ancient Israel to the contemporary world, Zionism has evolved into
many forms over the centuries as Jews have responded to the problems
of anti-Semitism and the challenges of modern Jewish identity. “The
Hope” will be a three-part course on the history of Zionism (Dec. 7);
the different types of Zionism (Dec. 14); and a critical discussion of
Zionism, Modern Israel, and the future of Jewish identity (Jan. 11). This
three-part course will be important for those attending Rabbi Block’s
discussion of Ari Shavit’s book, My Promised Land - The Triumph and
Tragedy of Israel (Jan. 25).
PLEASE help us plan accurately by making reservations

My Promised Land by Ari Shavit
Friday, December 5, 7:00 pm, at Shabbat Dinner in the Social Hall
following Shabbat Services, which will be abbreviated (no sermon)
Sunday, February 8, 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.
Book discussion facilitated by Rabbi Barry Block
“Not since Thomas L. Friedman’s groundbreaking From Beirut to
Jerusalem has a book captured the essence and the beating heart of
the Middle East as keenly and dynamically as My Promised Land.
Facing unprecedented internal and external pressures, Israel today
is at a moment of existential crisis. Ari Shavit draws on interviews,
historical documents, private diaries, and letters, as well as his own
family’s story, illuminating the pivotal moments of the Zionist century
to tell a riveting narrative that is larger than the sum of its parts: both
personal and national, both deeply human and of profound historical
dimension. As it examines the complexities and contradictions of the
Israeli condition, My Promised Land asks difficult but important
questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can
Israel survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats
that Israel is currently facing, My Promised Land uses the defining
events of the past to shed new light on the present. The result is a
landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge,
whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global
political landscape.”
Confirmation Class trip to
Washington D.C.
January 9 – 12, 2015
Students are excited to begin their L’Taken Social Justice Seminar
experience accompanied by Rabbi Block and Ellyn Polsky. Throughout
the weekend the 10th graders will be immersed in the social policy
issues that are the focus of the URJ’s Religious Action Center’s activities.
They will tour the Capitol building and hopefully the White House
before the program actually begins. Visits to the Smithsonian and
monuments on the mall will also be part of the weekend. On Monday,
before returning to Little Rock, our students will present their Jewishly
enriched arguments for social policy changes in areas about which they
feel strongly, to our Arkansas representatives in congress.
Adults $12 | Kids 6 and over $6
$3 surcharge at the door with no reservations
“Men on Main and the
Jewish Experience in Mid-20th
Century Little Rock”
See page 4 for details on the dinner
Little Rock in 2014 is excited about its Main Street, on the rise after
being nearly deserted for several decades. Our program participants
remember it when it was the center of activity in the State. As recently
as the mid-20th century, downtown Little Rock was so crowded on
a Saturday morning that mothers had to hold their children’s hand
for fear of becoming separated in the rush of shoppers. German
Jews had settled in Little Rock just before and after the Civil War.
Some among them had established what would become, for the next
century, the largest department stores in Arkansas. These business
leaders established the Temple, ran their companies, survived the
great depression, and set examples in leadership in the overall Little
Rock community. Our program presenters continued their forebears’
brand of community service and maintained high quality businesses
through Main Street’s final hey-days of the 1950’s and early 60’s. This
Temple program explores the story of the “Men on Main,” the women
behind them, and the Jewish experience in mid-twentieth century
Little Rock.”
