What Can Judaism Do For Us?
T
here was a time when being
Jewish meant doing things the
way they had always been done.
Jewishness was defined by how much
of the old tradition you and your
family upheld. Did you go to shul
to pray? Did you keep kosher? Did
you know some Hebrew? Did you eat
traditional Jewish foods?
As the Jewish world changes, those who consider themselves
to be on the “inside” of Jewish life are anxious. The next
generation does not use this same measure of Jewish identity.
Sometimes people ask me “Why don’t young people care
about coming to shul?” It looks to people sometimes like the
next generation isn’t committed to the Jewish people, or to
Jewishness. Young people don’t observe in the same numbers,
they don’t pay membership dues in the same numbers, they
don’t associate with the same Jewish institutions. In short,
people conclude, they don’t care.
I don’t think that such a perspective is hopeful or useful,
either for the next generation of Jews or for the Jewish people
as a whole. We live in a new Jewish era, where membership
in a Jewish organization and a strong sense of connection to
Jewish peoplehood is simply not sufficient to inspire people
to involvement in Jewish life.
This is a profoundly wonderful development. In an article in
Ha’aretz this past February, the writer Ayalon Eliach reworked
President Kennedy’s famous line in order to get us thinking
about these changes in Jewish life: ask not what you can do
for Judaism; ask what Judaism can do for you. That’s right:
ask what Judaism can do for you.
If the Jewish past does not have the same claim on the next
generation—or on us, if we are being honest—as it once did,
it is because our souls are hungering to find out what it is
in Judaism that addresses the present need of our lives now.
“show me why Judaism is relevant” people are demanding.
“show me how it makes me better. How it makes the life in
my community better. How it makes my world better.”
In the world of the Jewish past, these impetuous demands
might be seen as wrong headed or selfish. But in fact, it is
simply the latest expression of the eternal energy of Torah
and of Judaism. How can Judaism address the living demands
of the Jewish present? If it does anything less than that, it is
worthy of a museum and nothing more.
This idea of “What can Judaism do for me” will be on our
minds as we continue to develop the Jewish life of our shul.
Of course we know that a Judaism simply built on taking and
not contributing can’t (and shouldn’t) last. But Judaism must
in the first place show us that it can inspire us to live our lives
with greater passion, focus, meaning and goodness as we live
the daily challenges of our lives in the modern world.
Our shul now faces this challenge. We have to be able to answer
yes to these questions: Can Judaism change me? Can it deepen
our connection to one another? Can it guide us in caring for
one another? Can it inspire us to make a tangible difference
in our neighborhood and our City, to do acts of goodness and
kindness? Can it make our hearts full and our hands busy as
we face the world?
I ask that you find your part in this building that we are doing
together and that you find your place in creating a community
that is vibrant and alive with Jewish values, lived in a way that
brings honor to the Jewish past, present, and future.

Climb The Mountain With Us This Shavuot!

F
Fellow Congregants,
Spring time is here. The
flowers are blooming, birds are
chirping, and it's lighter longer. It’s a
sense of renewal, and a sense of new
beginnings.
Our synagogue needs your spring
time awakening. Volunteer, volunteer,
volunteer! Get involved with the
Shaarie Torah family. There are
committees to join, services to attend,
and of course donations to give. Speaking of donations, if
you want to sponsor an occasion, or an event please do so.
Examples being Shabbat kiddishes, Torah study classes,
education events, etc.
Congratulations and thank you to Rabbi Rose, and the
staff for the second night Passover Seder! There were at least
150 attendees who enjoyed the event. Now that passover
has passed, let’s remember what’s coming: Shavuot. While
Passover is a birth of a nation, Shavuot is the birth of Jewish
Law. The time between the Exodus and the giving of the law
was 49 days. Can you imagine the Congress of the United
States enacting or passing a law in only 49 days! This would
truly be a miracle.
In the spirit of Spring and cleaning: there has been
concerns about the condition of the Synagogue building
and grounds. Sometimes, because of its almost daily use,
the building seems unattended. Some people have suggested
we have a Mitzvah Day, not a "mitzvah moment," when
we ask for a donation—but a day when as many people
as possible get together and clean the building and the
parking lot.; but a day in which as many people as possible
get together and clean the building and the parking lot.
We can do this once a quarter, or even once a month. An
invitation for such a day will be out soon, but if you know
you're interested now, contact the office and let us know
at: [email protected]; (503) 226-6131.
Thank you to the Sisterhood, for their successful
Hamentaschen baking event. They baked a record amount
of product, which will translate into a major future
contribution to the shul. As always, there was much fun to
be had baking downstairs with all of the great volunteers! Of
course, if you missed your dose of Hamentaschen this year,
the dates for next year's project are ready for your calendar:
Feb. 16 - Mar. 8, 2017
Don’t forget the Men’s Club event to be held this
year on June 26th. This event is the Harry Nemer service
award. This year’s honoree is Shelly Klapper. The award
is given each year to a person or persons who went above
and beyond the call of duty in service to our Shaarie
Torah family. Have a great summer, and remember, your
participation at daily minyans would be greatly appreciated.
Shalom,
Phil Cohen
Farwell to Sarah Dishner
A

Dorice Horenstein, Education Director
M
any people perceive that the
holiday of Shavuot occurs at the end
of the year. After all, it happens in
June when the school year comes
to an end. In actuality, Shavuot is
the second of the shalosh regalim,
the pilgrimage holiday. Passover,
Shavuot and Sukkot. Biblically, the
Jewish year starts in the month of
Nisan, with the holiday of Passover, and signifies our
physical freedom. Shavuot, the second holiday, is all about
our spiritual freedom. We are becoming one people, and
one nation Judaism is born.
Shavuot, a holiday that is symbolized by the receiving of
the Ten Commandments, is establishing the parameters
of relationships. Relationships to oneself, between people,
family members, siblings, and ultimately between us and
our creator.
The word for relationship in Hebrew is yachasim,‫םיסחי‬.
Some of you may know the Yiddish word yechus (used
often when arrange marriages take place) which means
pedigree. The way you build a relationship demonstrates
your pedigree. Doesn't that adds to your understanding
of the value of building an honest and productive
relationship?!
This year on Saturday, June 11th, we will do just that!
Together we will climb the mountain of relationships and
improve on our pedigree! We will hear, learn and discuss
what are best practices for having ever-lasting positive
relationships with those we love and those we must get
along with. We will learn how to love ourselves and how
it can manifest with a love of HaShem, our God! I invite
all of you to come and join us in this special Tikun Liel
Shavuot! Check out the flyer on the next page for all the
information.
Registration for the religious school K-5 and
theWednesday night program for our middle and high
school opens in June!! Tell your friends, your neighbors,
and your family about us! Only together and through
building relationships will we grow!
Until next time,
Kol Tuv,
All the best,

Celebrate with us!
Don't forget to join us on June 11th (yes, same day)
in the morning for services, celebrating our high school
graduation and saying farewell as they go to college!

Tuesday e-mail. Please look for some fun youth activities
in our weekly Thursday e-blast.

Men's Club
Steph Kotkins, President
T
he Shaarie Torah Men’s Club is proud to announce the next recipient of the Harry R. Nemer
Service Award, Shelly Klapper. Shelly exemplifies the true meaning of volunteering, giving of his
time and energy for many years to Shaarie Torah. Shelly continues his involvement in numerous
fundraising projects benefitting all of us at the synagogue along with countless hours, over the years,
of “behind the scenes” volunteer work. The award dinner is June 26, 2016. Tickets are now available
online or through the office. Sponsorship levels are also available. We invite you to come celebrate and
honor this leader in our community at this fun-filled gala evening! Please see the flyer on the next page
for more information.
The Men’s Club experienced a very busy April and May beginning with the planning for the June 26th dinner
honoring Shelly. On April 9th, the Men’s Club hosted a Texas Hold’Em Tournament. The tournament boasted 30 plus
players with the top prize a $300.00 prepaid Visa card. Gary Weiner and Geoffrey Strongin co-chaired this fun event.
We plan to make this a yearly event.
Pickles are coming. The Men’s Club is going into the pickle business. We plan to put
up the pickles in August and sell them at $8.00 a jar in September. If anyone is interested
in donating (new) wide-mouth pickling jars please contact Steph Kotkins.
The Men’s Club agreed to sponsor the food for the Congregation Shaarie Torah annual
meeting again this year. The annual meeting is very important and we encourage everyone
to attend. The Men’s Club, recognized as a religious, social and service auxiliary organization
of our congregation, fills a vital role in synagogue life. The health and vitality of every
synagogue depends on an active Men’s Club and Sisterhood to attract new members. Synagogues without these active
organizations tend to stagnate and lack energy. Synagogue members are not required to join the Men’s Club. For more
information regarding the Men’s Club, please contact the synagogue office and I will personally contact you on the club’s
behalf.
