Principle vs Compromise
There has been much debate recently concerning the two distinct
approaches of dealing with Iran:
President Obama vs Prime Minister
Netanyahu. While both administrations agree that Iran is controlled by
radical Islamic fundamentalists, they
disagree on what is the best approach to halt, contain and stop
their quest to achieving nuclear proliferation and avoiding a nuclear arm’s race in the dangerous Middle East.
The White House administration believes that through
allowance and compromise, they will win co-operation and
achieve a temporary halt and circumvention for 10 years. The
Israeli government strongly contends that when confronting a
regime that is guided by radicalism it must be countered with
the same measure of uncompromising principles of justice,
thereby insisting that Iran’s nuclear capabilities be significantly
dismantled before lifting any sanctions.

SECOND SEDER conducted after Evening Services
Candle Lighting after 8:12 p.m. from existing flame
When it comes to conflict resolution Judaism has a unique
approach. The Talmud often favors Peshara Compromise over
finding the exact right Judgment especially when the exact
right is not easily clear at all, so in matters of complex civil
and economic disputes you will find Jewish law leaning on the
side of compromise, but when a principle is at stake there is a
paradigm shift in the law.
THURSDAY APRIL 9

Studying in Yeshiva I was deeply moved by the law articulated
in the Talmud: “A group of people are walking along a road
when they are stopped by heathens, who say to them, “Give us
one of you and we will kill him. If not, we will kill all of you.”
Let them all be killed, and let them not surrender one soul from
Israel”. Palestinian Talmud, Terumot 8:10.

Egypt and its economy. The plagues forced Pharaoh to sit at
the negotiation table with Moses: Pharaoh broken and desperate
declared “I will let your people go, your youth and your elders
your sons and your daughters may go to serve G-d but your
flocks and your cattle must remain.” This offer represented 95%
of what Moses first demanded of Pharaoh - a clear victory – yet,
Moses refused and insisted in the next verse that “not a single
hoof will remain” (“Lo Teshaer Parsah”). Though many Jews
argued to accept the deal, Moses remained steadfast because
when fighting for the principle of justice there is no room to
compromise and thus give dignity to the unjust.
Here history has proven over and again that when the righteous
stand up, truth and justice prevail.
Lieba and I would like to wish all our members and friends A
Chag kasher Vesameach.
Rabbi Asher Jacobson
Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz
TBDJ When it comes to right and wrong, good and bad, the Torah has
always guided us to establish clear lines called Havdalah distinct
separation. When we as a society allow a criminal to commit a
half crime, instead of protecting the innocent, we are perverting
justice and for Justice to endure its principles must be preserved.
Throughout history, radicals gave Jewish communities an
ultimatum to either submit their principles or face expulsion and
annihilation. Many Jews refused to forego their faith, and though
precious lives have been lost in the process, the principles were
not only kept intact, but they shined even stronger for the next
generation.
At the Passover table, let us recall the pinnacle moment when
Moses stood before Pharaoh – when truth spoke to power – in
the quest to bring dignity to all mankind, After nine plagues the
Egyptians were weakened by heavenly sanctions that crippled

President's Message
As this long and cold winter
(at least for those of us that
remained at home in Montreal)
comes to an end, we all begin to
turn our minds to the spring.
Spring has traditionally been the season representing
a time of phenomenal renewal. The earth seems to
reawaken from its slumber, and explodes with new life.
In our own lives, spring can be symbolic of starting new
projects, sewing new seeds and coming forth with new
ideas.
With the arrival of spring, and the return of so many of our
members from down South, we begin now to re-focus our
attention to re-invigorating our shul. As a new President,
I have spent the last several months, together with my
fellow new Executive and Trustee members, learning
about our shul and its operations and personnel, and trying
to meet as many of our members and friends as possible.
I have come to learn that our shul benefits from a strong
core of members who support us in many different ways,
some as regular attendees, some as casual participants,
and others just financially. Some of us have a long history
with the shul and others do not. I have also observed that
although we are an Orthodox shul by denomination, many,
if not most of us, are not observant but find ourselves on
a wide spectrum of religious belief and practice. What
binds us together is also multi-faceted, but ultimately it
boils down to the joy we feel coming together at shul
and the pleasure and fulfillment we derive from being
within its walls.
Whether you are a regular at shul or not, we are hoping
that our spring/summer calendar of events will give you
multiple reasons to come to the shul to meet new people
and to become more comfortable and more entrenched in
your spirituality, Jewishness, love of Israel and general
well-being. We will be offering a wide range of programs,
including Yoga, Hebrew classes, book reviews, Jewish
cooking classes with Chef (Cantor) Isaac, a Jewish/Israeli
sing-along, classes on explaining the basics of the siddur
and many more. We are also always looking for ways
to make services more accessible and, yes, enjoyable
for you. While the chazzanut may be beautiful and the
Rabbi’s sermons extraordinary, we know that we could
be doing more to fill our sanctuaries.
Our goal is simple: to see you more often in shul and to
have you benefit more from your shul in whatever ways
are meaningful and enjoyable to you.
I sincerely hope that you will take the time to peruse
through this edition of the Scroll, read our email bulletins,
like us on Facebook and visit our website (www.
thechevra.ca) to keep abreast of all that we are trying to
do for you, and that you will give yourself the chance to
let the shul become a home for you and your family in
whatever way is meaningful for you.
As the African-American writer Harriet Ann Jacobs
wrote: “The beautiful spring came; and when Nature
resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive
also.” I truly hope that this spring will be a season of
renewal, revival, good health and happiness for all of you
and your families and, indeed, a Chevra spring for us all.
We are committed to doing all that we can to see more of you in shul more frequently. For those who are motivated On behalf of myself, my family, and the Executive and
primarily by religious beliefs, attending shul is already a Board of Trustees of the Chevra, I wish you all a Happy
part of your life and we hope the shul will continue to be Passover, a Chag Sameach and a Goot Yomtov!
meaningful to you, as led by our dynamic, learned and
inspirational Rabbi Jacobson and our gifted, talented and Arnold Cohen
welcoming Cantor Epstein.
But for many of us, coming to services is a 3-day a year
event, with perhaps some extra days added for holidays,
milestone or life cycle events. For those less religiously
inclined, I understand how a synagogue can feel like
somewhat of a foreign place and would not be a natural
draw for spending your time. We aim to try and address
just that.

MiShenichnas Adar Marbin BeSimcha
Purim 2015
When the month of Adar arrives we increase the joy and
happiness. We the Chevra Chesed Committee in conjunction
with the Sisterhood under the leadership of Sally Raicek have
started the month of Adar with the preparations for our annual
Mishloach Manot Project.
The initiative started with Hamantashen Baking under the
direction of Donna Cohen Hersh. Ladies came in on a Sunday
morning February 22nd and happily started to prepare the
Hamantashen.
The preparations continue with the joy and happiness of receiving
wonderful donations of treats from the following sponsors:
Galerie au Chocolats, Mandeli, Pizza Pita, Rocky Montana, and
Kosher Quality, without your support our Purim initiative would
not be so successful. Thank you so much.
On Monday morning before Purim the real excitement started. The
Raicek Hall was set up with tables, treats, gift bags, tissue paper
and ribbon. Ladies were chatting, laughing and preparing the gift
bags with simcha. This was truly a labour of love and happiness.
Volunteers were arriving as scheduled and joyfully started to pick
up the bags that were to be delivered. In no time at all the bags
were packed and delivered and our mission was accomplished.
Joy and happiness was to get the feedback from the recipients
and their families. The appreciation was beautiful; it was well
worth the effort.

Purim at the Chevra
What an amazing time we all had at the Chevra Purim
Party over two hundred of us celebrated the joyous
holiday in style. The festivities kicked off with a fun
filled carnival for the children. We thank Mendel
and Riki Jacobson for the wonderful job they did
in running this program. Everyone then proceeded
to the Sanctuary to hear the Megillah of Esther and
truly got into the holiday spirit. This was followed
by a wonderful catered meal with open bar. We thank
Chef Reda and Cantor Epstein in planning the menu.
Dan Abitbol got everyone dancing with great music
and lots of fun, there were some sixty children in
attendance wearing the most incredible costumes, all
had a great time!
Special thank you to Leiba Jacobson for her hard work
in planning this event. We look forward to seeing
everyone next year.
Beit Hazikaron
Passover follows another happy holiday, Purim. One may ask
what makes Passover so happy, too? Yes, most of us love the
delicious matzo balls, fancy dinner, and family gatherings.
However, it portends a much more important message; freedom
from slavery, looking forward to a new life of our own doing
and a better tomorrow with the help of Hashem. One of the
ceremonies, Maggid, will retell the story to us and our children
and grandchildren.
Tomorrow is the word I would like to delve on: "And it shall
come to pass that your child will ask you tomorrow, “What is
this?” And you shall tell him with a mighty hand G-d took us out
of Egypt". In any realistic and contemporary sense it means to us,
that we live in a beautiful country, still enjoying life with all the
daily pains, bad news and uncertainties. It means that we can still
soon come to our Sunday get-togethers, and so on.
Tomorrow, in a distant and overriding sense, begs for an answer:
what will tomorrow bring? Not so much to ourselves, but to
our descendants. Will G-d's miracles take us out of the danger
surrounding us all over the world, as He liberated us from slavery.
While we are welcoming the approaching Passover, the spring
and all the returning snowbirds, we believe, that G-d's miracle
will come in our time.
Wishing all our members a happy and joyful Passover
Beit Hazikaron
WEEKLY TALMUD CLASS
A potential convert once came to the great sage, Hillel and
asked him, “Can you teach me the entire Torah on one foot?”
Hillel’s response was, “Do not do unto others as you would
have them do unto you, now go and study.”
This became the Golden Rule of Hillel, The rabbis note that
Hillel’s statement, “Now go and study” is part of the Golden
Rule; for to live by the Torah values, they must be studied
and internalized.
Every week we will learn a new topic on “Ethics and
Business According to Jewish Law” at Davies Ward Phillips
& Vineberg 1501 McGill College Avenue 26th Floor. Lunch
is available for $10. Kindly RSVP (by 10 am Thursday)
by return e-mail to rabbi@thechevra.ca, if you would like
lunch!
Please note: This class is now certified under The Barreau
du Quebec, Credits will be given to all lawyers whose
names are listed on the ‘Formulaire de Redevances’.

If someone would try to sum up all the work for an entire year at our congregation, at
which our wonderful choir adds to our prayers, and the and the contribution that our choir
makes to The Chevra, to the uplifting of our Tefilah, I have no doubt that Shabbat Shira,
would be the highlight. Shabbat Shira is one of the most joyful days of a great Shabbat
of prayer and song filled with cantorial melodies, prayers combined with Chassidic and
popular composers, lebedic and freilech songs adapted in the prayers from our rich heritage
of music.
The power of the holy songs is well demonstrated that even below zero, close to 200
members and friends show up and say “we want real music”, we want the music which
is combined with prayer and songs, which come from the heart, songs from the Torah
portion that we read on Shabbat Shira morning in all synagogues, “Az Yashir Moshe
Uvenei Yisrael”, the song that Moses and the children of Israel sang when crossing the sea
to become a nation. This is the song that is alive. This is the prayer and hope with which
we conclude each service, of the evening, morning and afternoon prayer “Sheyibone Bais
Hamikdosh Bimhera Beyameinu”, may the Temple be speedily restored in our days, at
which time G-d will reinstate the Levites, who served in the Temple, with prayers and song.
Am Yisrael Chai.
We take this opportunity to thank Maestro Yossi Milo and the Choir for their outstanding
contribution, Rabbi Asher Jacobson for his uplifting sermon and to our Gabbai Allan
 PRESIDENT'S Advisory Council
Tannenbaum for his continued dedication to Shabbat Shira. Last but not least to our
Mish Granik
Sally Raicek
members and sponsors, who helped make Shabbatt Shira the “Shabbat” at the Chevra.

YOM HA’ATZMA’UT
On the 4th of Iyar in the year 1948, the State of Israel
was declared. Since then, The Chief Rabbinate of
Israel has asked that we recognize this day as special,
and of religious meaning. A special prayer service
was compiled, which we are proud to feature at our
services on the eve and morning of the day. It is right
and fitting that families mark the day with festivities
and thanksgiving to G-d. This year it will fall on the
evening of

_____________________________________________________
COUNTING THE DAYS OF
“OMER” AND “LAG B’OMER”
Beginning with the second night of Passover, and continuing for
forty-nine nights, we count the Omer in accordance with the Biblical
injunction: “From the morrow of Pesach, from the days of your
bringing the Omer, you shall count seven full weeks”. The Omer was
a special offering of barley gathered from the newly-ripened grain
which then permitted the use of the spring harvest. In Temple-times,
the harvesting of the Omer on the second night of Pesach, was an
occasion for great celebration in the streets of Jerusalem.
The counting of the Omer must take place after nightfall,
immediately before starting the daily and weekly number in the
Omer, we recite the benediction of ‘Al Sephirat Ha-Omer’.
These forty-nine days link the festival of Passover, the celebration
of our physical redemption with the festival of Shavuot, which
occurs on the 50th day, when we celebrate our spiritual redemption,
the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.
In the second century of the common era, Eretz Israel was visited by
plague. Thousands of the disciples of Rabbi Akiva perished between
Pesach and Shavuot. In their memory, this period is observed with
partial mourning. During the weeks of the Omer therefore, we do not
make weddings nor engage in unusual festivity, nor do we cut our
hair. Since the plague is said to have stopped on the thirty-third day
of the Omer (Lag B’Omer), these restrictions are suspended for that
day. School children suspend their studies and have a day of field
games. This year Lag B’Omer occurs on Thursday April 7, 2015.

PREPARING FOR THE SEDER
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE USED AT THE SEDER
ARBA’A KOSOT: Four cups of wine, representing the four
expressions of freedom and redemption mentioned in the Bible
(Exodus 6:6,7) If wine cannot be tolerated, use grape juice.
MATZAH SHMURAH: Matzah prepared from grain which
was specially watched since reaping so that it should leaven by
becoming moist. It is best to have this special matzah for the
Seder.
THREE WHOLE MATZAHS are placed on the Seder Plate,
representing the Kohen, Levi and Yisrael.
MAROR: The bitter herb which recalls how the Egyptians
embittered the lives of our ancestors. Use romaine lettuce for
Maror, or horse radish root. Wash lettuce very thoroughly to
remove any possible bugs - inspect carefully.
CHAZERS: The root part of the bitter herb, in original form.
Not all Seder Plates contain this item.
CHAROSET: A mixture of chopped nuts, apples, Kosher
L’Pesach cinnamon and wine, representing the mortar mixed
for the slave labour in Egypt and into which we dip the Maror.
KARPAS: A vegetable, symbol of springtime and of our freedom.
Possible vegetables include celery, potato or onion dipped in salt
water, recalling the years of oppression of the Israelites.
AFIKOMEN: The piece of Matzoh broken off from the middle Matzoh and hidden away to be eaten at the very end of the
meal. It represents the Paschal lamb roasted in the days of the
Holy Temple in Jerusalem and eaten last so that its savour lingers
in our palates.
Z’ROA: A roasted meat or chicken bone, representing the Paschal lamb (Korban Pesach) and reminding us of the Almighty’s
‘outstretched arm’ (Z’roa means arm).
BEITZAH: A roasted egg, representing the festival offering
(Hagigah).
CUP OF ELIYAHU: A special wine cup reserved for Eliyahu
the Prophet who symbolizes full redemption.

1. Leavened foods and all foods containing a mixture of
leavening.
2. Any food prepared from barley, wheat, cereals, spelt, rice
and grits of any kind.
3. All legumes (peas, beans, corn, rice peanuts).
4. Ice cream and syrups, as well as all liquors containing grain
alcohol.

RABBINICAL SUPERVISION
Sodas, milk, butter, cheese and dairy products; also all
Passover cakes, cookies and canned goods
C. FOOD PERMITTED WITHOUT PASSOVER LABEL
All fresh vegetables and fruits (except legumes).
____________________________________________
KASHERING is the manner in which various items used
throughout the year are prepared for use during Passover. The
laws of Passover prohibit even the smallest trace of Chometz
in our food. It is therefore preferable that an entire set of dishes
and utensils be set aside for Pesach- use only and never used
throughout the year. With certain items however, Jewish Law
permits the 'Kashering' (ritual cleaning) of utensils.
KASHERING THE STOVE
a.) Clean the stove thoroughly and then heat the oven, spits,
racks, etc. until red hot. Leave stove-top on for 10 minutes
oven for 30 minutes.
b.) Special metal sheets or aluminum foil covering are required
on top of the range between the burners, for the days of Pesach.
KASHERING THE DISHES & UTENSILS
a) Metal pots and pans, after a thorough cleaning and nonuse for 24 hours, must be dipped into boiling water or filled
with water and heated until boiling over the top of metal
utensil. The hot rock is inserted into the large pots, to bring the
temperature even higher.
b) Glasses are placed in water for 3 consecutive days,
changing water each day. This CANNOT be done for glasses
used for whiskey.
c) Earthenware and porcelain utensils CANNOT be
kashered for Passover by any process. Utensils which
have glued-on handles, or dents and cracks, CANNOT be
kashered. Plastic and Pyrex dishes CANNOT be kashered.
Consult the Rabbi regarding use of dishwashers and electric
appliances.
d) Microwave Ovens should be thoroughly cleaned and not
used for 24 hours. A utensil filled with water should be heated
in the oven, until a thick steam fills the oven. Wash walls and
shelf down with boiling water. Cover the floor of the oven
with paper or Styrofoam.
f) Counters and tables should be covered for Passover with
plastic or other covering.
g) Refrigerator/Freezer - thoroughly clean, it does not need
to be lined.
h) Blender/Food Processor - New or Pesachdik receptacle
(anything in which food makes direct contact) required.
Thoroughly clean motor.
i) Can Opener - Manual or electric - clean thoroughly.
j) Counter Tops - Plastic/Formica - Clean and cover for cold
food, cardboard or thick cover for hot food.
k) Dentures/Bite/Plates/Braces - Clean thoroughly after
finished eating Chometz.
l) Kitchen Sink - A metal sink can be kashered by a thorough
cleaning and by pouring boiling water over it. A porcelain sink
should be cleaned and a sink rack used. If, however, dishes are
to be soaked in a porcelain sink, a dish basin must be used.
m) Chometz and non-Pesach utensils - Non-Pesach
dishes, pots, and Chometz whose ownership has been
transferred, should be separated, locked up or covered, and
marked so as to prevent accidental use.
n) Candlesticks - Should not be put under hot water in
Kosher-for-Pesach sink.
o) Towels / Tablecloths - Those used during the year with
Chometz may be used on Pesach if they have been laundered
with soap and hot water of at least 160 F. Synthetic materials
such as rayon and terylene may be used on Pesach after they
have gone through a washing with detergent and only if there
are no visible stains after they have been cleaned.
p) Tables - A table on which Chometz is eaten during the
year may be used on Pesach if it is covered with a waterproof
covering (e.g. sheet of plastic).
q) Baby High Chair - Thoroughly clean and preferably
cover the tray with contact paper.
r) REMEMBER to buy new toothbrushes for Passover.
s) Go through the medicine cabinet - it often contains
Chometz. Alcohol or grain products should be 'sold' with other
Chometz.
e) Steel surfaces (including sinks) are kashered by
cleaning, avoiding use for 24 hours, and then pouring boiling
water over them.

“Between Gods is that rare memoir brilliantly well written...
profoundly moving... a beautifully woven story of family, partnership,
love and reconciliation not just with one’s past but with oneself.”
As far as Pick knew, both her parents were Christian -- growing up in Kitchener,
Ont., her family only celebrated Easter and Christmas. But what she discovered after
prodding her parents for answers was that her paternal grandparents were in fact
Jewish, escaping the former Czechoslovakia on the heels of Nazi occupation during
the Second World War and masking their heritage with new Christian identities when
they settled in Canada.

What is Shavuot?
Shavuot marks the anniversary of the day when we received
the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is the second of the three major
festivals (Passover being the first, and Sukkot the third), occurring exactly fifty days after the second day of Passover. This
is a biblical holiday complete with special prayers, holiday
candle lighting and kiddush. During the course of the holiday
we don't go to work, drive, write or switch on or off electric
devices. We are permitted to cook and to carry outdoors.
The word "Shavuot" means "weeks"; it marks the completion
of the seven-week counting period between Passover and
Shavuot. During these seven weeks, the Jewish people cleansed
themselves of the scars of Egyptian slavery and became a holy
nation, ready to enter into an eternal covenant with G-d with
the giving of the Torah.
The Role of Children
When the Torah is read in the synagogue on Shavuot, we
experience anew the Sinai transmission of the Torah by G-d.
Just as the Sinai Event was attended by every Jewish man,
woman and child, so too every Jewish person should make
every effort to be present in a synagogue on Wednesday, May
15, 2013, as the Ten Commandments are read from the Torah.
There is also special significance to bringing children, even the
youngest of infants, to hear the Ten Commandments.
Before G-d gave the Torah
to the Jewish people, He
demanded guarantors. The
Jews made number of
suggestions, all rejected
by G-d, until they declared,
“Our children will be our
guarantors that we will
cherish and observe the
Torah.” G-d immediately
accepted them and agreed
to give the Torah. Let us
make sure to bring all our
“guarantors” along to the
synagogue on the first day of
Shavuot.
On this day, we received a gift from Above which we could not
have achieved with our own limited faculties. We received the
ability to reach and touch the Divine; not only to be cultivated
human beings, but Divine human beings who are capable of
rising above and beyond the limitations of nature.
Before the giving of the Torah, we were a family and a
community. The experience of Sinai bonded us into a new
entity: the Jewish people, the Chosen Nation. This holiday is
likened to our wedding day -- beneath the wedding canopy
of Mount Sinai, G-d betrothed us to Him. G d swore eternal
devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to
Him. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot, we re-enact this
historic moment. G-d re-gives the Torah, and we lovingly
reaccept, and reaffirm our fidelity to Him alone.
The Torah is composed of two parts: the Written Law and the
Oral Law. The written Torah contains the Five Books of Moses,
the Prophets and the Writings. Together with the Written
Torah, Moses was also given the Oral Law, which explains
and clarifies the Written Law. It was transmitted orally from
generation to generation and eventually transcribed in the
Mishna, Talmud and Midrash.
The word "Torah" means instruction or guide. The Torah
guides our every step and move through its 613 "mitzvot." The
word "mitzvah" means both commandment and connection.
Through the study of Torah and fulfillment of mitzvot we
connect ourselves and our environment to G-d.
G- d's purpose in creating the world is that we sanctify all of
creation, imbuing it with holiness and spirituality.
On the holiday of Shavuot, the entire Jewish nation heard from
G-d the Ten Commandments. The next day Moses went up to
Mount Sinai where he was taught by G-d the rest of the Torah
-- both the Written and Oral Laws -- which he then transmitted
to the entire nation.

David Nesenoff is an independent filmmaker, blogger and publisher.
In the 1990s, he counselled youths who had committed bias crimes,
and worked as a consultant to the U.S. Department Justice. In June
2010 a video he made went viral; the video showed Helen Thomas,
the so-called “dean” of the White House media corp, making antisemitic statements. In the aftermath Thomas was forced to resign her
job, and Nesenoff received over 25,000 pieces of hate mail, including
death threats.
Cost: Adults $36.00
Children 10 and under free
