RABBI WHITMAN’S MESSAGE
I have shared with some of you before, the work of Dr.
Marshall Duke on raising children to have greater
happiness and emotional strength. He found that the
more children know about their family - their history and
experiences - the better they tend to do when facing
challenges later in life.
Specifically, Dr. Duke found that every family has a
unifying narrative, and those narratives usually fall into
one of three shapes: the ascending family narrative (we
had nothing, we worked hard, we succeeded, and now…),
the descending family narrative (we used to have it all,
then we lost everything…), and the oscillating family
narrative (we have had ups and downs, we succeeded,
we had setbacks, but no matter what happened we stuck
together as a family…). Dr. Duke found the last narrative
to be the most healthful.
And Dr. Duke recommends not only telling these family
stories, but using family gatherings to repeat activities
that become traditions which convey their story.
The Passover Seder is designed to do just that. The
purpose of the Hagadah is to tell the story of our family.
The passages Arami Oved Avi (an Aramean wanted to
destroy our father, Jacob, and he went down to Egypt,
few in number, and he became there a great and mighty
nation…) and V’Hi SheAmdah (in every generation they
rise against us to destroy us, and God saves us from their
hand…) dramatically tell the ups and downs of our family
story. And we also act out these oscillations with the
traditions of reclining and drinking wine, and with salt
water and bitter herbs.
But the text of the Hagadah should be just a starting
point. We should add our own personal family history at
each Seder, so our children will know the story of their
parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. This is
likely to be the part of the Seder our children will
remember best for the rest of their lives.
Bruce Feiler summed up Dr. Duke’s conclusions: “If you
want a happier family, create, refine, and retell the story
of your family’s positive moments and your ability to
bounce back from the difficult times. That act alone may
increase the odds that your family will thrive for many
generations to come.
And the perfect time for us to do that is at the Passover
Seder.
On behalf of Marci and our entire family, I wish you and
yours Happy Pesach,
Rabbi Michael Whitman
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
synagogue are facing and together with
our motivated clergy, staff, executive and
board we shall rise to the challenge. We
need your help and input, your advice and
comments. Reach out to a friend, a
neighbour and even yourself to come and
partake of what we have to offer. I would
like to thank all of you who have spent
endless hours in the past few months
dedicating yourselves and helping us both
spiritually and financially. We have shown
the true commitment to each other and the Adath.
Passover is a time for new beginnings,
being respectful of our past and hopeful
for our future. This is the history of the
Jewish People and in fact the story of the
ADATH. What a rich legacy our shul has
had, from immigrants to entrepreneurs par
excellence, professionals and leaders of the
Jewish community. Where we are now and
what direction we take is up to us! The
ADATH is situated in the heart of
Hampstead, the best location in town,
surrounded by the largest concentration of Jews in
Canada. How can we best serve this community, what
programmes can enrich the area, how do we reach out
to the unaffiliated, and how do we insure the financial
wellbeing of our shul and community for future
generations? These are the challenges that we as a
I wish you and your family a happy and kosher Passover
on behalf of Miriam and myself.
Dr. Peter Safran, President
ADATH INCLUSION TASK FORCE
let Rabbi Whitman know. Our next presentation is Alison
Levine, “Loving Life on Wheels” on Shabbat morning, April
15 (see full details on the next page).
During February, we were inspired and energized by our
special guest speaker - Rachel Desjourdy, who works
with the Jewish community in the areas of inclusion and
disability. Rachel quoted the famous verse, “Do not place
a stumbling block before one who is blind,” as a Jewish
imperative to remove all barriers to complete
participation for every person, and to create
opportunities for people of any and all abilities to
participate in meaningful ways in our community. We have begun a review of our building to identify and
remove physical barriers. In our main Sanctuary, we have
permanently placed a table for Torah reading on the
floor level that does not require any steps for an Aliyah.
We are planning several ongoing programs to provide
meaningful, integrated participation to people of all
abilities for prayer, entertainment, socialization, and
work. We will announce more details soon.
With that charge, we have created the ADATH Inclusion
Task Force. Included on our Task Force are people of all
abilities, with a range of professional and life
experiences. The underlying goal of all of these efforts is to change
attitudes throughout our community, to realize that
every one of us is created in God’s image and we are all
different in unique ways. Inclusion is not something we
do, it is who we are as Jews. We succeed when every
person knows they are welcome, and they belong.
We have instituted an inclusion statement that is now
part of the publicity of every event, on our website, in
our bulletin (inside front cover), on emails, and in
announcements.
We have begun an ongoing, sustained educational
campaign that will include dynamic guest speakers,
periodic Divrei Torah, classes, sermons, professional
presentations, events, and the sharing of articles and
links to educate and inspire. If you have an idea of a
speaker or program we can bring to the ADATH, please
We are blessed, within our ADATH community, with
amazing expertise, experience, energy, and good will. If
you know of anyone who would like to join our effort, or
if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let Rabbi
Whitman know. We are inspired by what we can
accomplish together!
ANDRE ZOLDAN’S MESSAGE
With Passover upon us, we might create and enjoy the 5th glass of wine with the following thought: Is our glass half full,
or half empty? More importantly, are our lives half full or half empty? It’s not the years in your life that matters, rather it’s
the life in your years. So, upon my travels around the world, I often pick up thoughts which I would like to share with you,
simple phrases to keep in mind, in order to keep your cup full:
Help each other
Know you are loved
Pay with hugs and kisses
Be grateful
Show compassion
Dream big
Respect one another
Laugh out loud
One way to get along with people,
stay away from them.
A Happy Passover to all.
Andre Zoldan, Cemetery Chair
LOVING LIFE ON WHEELS
Please join us on Shabbat morning, April 15, as we welcome our guest speaker, Alison
Levine. Alison is a 26-year-old Paralympian in boccia, ranked 8th in the world. She will
be speaking on the Shabbat of Chol HaMoed Pesach at about 11:15 a.m., as part of
our Youth Service, where the entire service is run by our young people. Alison's topic
is, "Loving Life on Wheels." Everyone is invited to attend, and to hear and meet Alison.
You can learn more about Alison Levine at www.alisonlevine.ca. Here is an excerpt:
WHO AM I?
I am an athlete in the sport of boccia. Boccia is a Paralympic sport of precision,
concentration, and muscle control. I play in the BC4 category which is for athletes
with severe disabilities affecting the whole body, other than cerebral palsy. In my case, I have an idiopathic neuromuscular
disorder that causes weakness in all my muscles.
I have played many adapted sports in the past from wheelchair basketball, sledge hockey, and wheelchair rugby but now
concentrate on boccia as it is physically the only sport suited for my level of disability. I live a very different life than most
people but in my opinion, a great one. As John Milton said: "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of
hell or a hell of heaven..."
If it were not for my disability I would probably never have had the opportunity or honor to represent my country or get to
spend my days playing a sport I love. Paralympic sport requires me to push through barriers to achieve my goals, allows
me to be proud of who I am no matter how I look, and gives me the courage to be the best that I can be.
I leave you with the words of Nelson Mandela, an amazing man who I believe embodied the Paralympic spirit by saying: "I
learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel
afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
TEAM SISTERHOOD MESSAGE
I sit down to compose this Passover message on the
morning after the night before, at the conclusion of yet
another successful event, our TEAM Sisterhood Purim
Pajama Party at the ADATH! Boy, does TEAM Sisterhood
know how to throw a party?!
TEAM Sisterhood has inaugurated our Kosher Cookbook
Library. A lovely collection of cookbooks is available to
peruse in the synagogue library or to be borrowed and
returned. Try some new recipes this Passover, find them
in our Kosher Cookbook Library!
Looking back at this past season of celebrations and
activities at the ADATH, TEAM Sisterhood has been there
organizing, preparing, shopping, cooking, baking,
decorating and making sure there is always something
fun in the works for our ADATH family and beyond.
TEAM Sisterhood; at the ready to serve the ADATH with
fun, memorable, innovative and inclusive programs,
events and activities!
TEAM Sisterhood values your participation and support
of our efforts. If you are in a position to help us in any
way, by giving us items for prizes or with donations, we
will certainly make sure to put them to good use.
 Early March, we held what we call “Shake it Up Mah
Jongg”, a mini tournament with fun snacks and prizes.
 End of January, we organized a Yoga event that
included a Yoga practice with instructor Kesha Foster
and service of a healthy breakfast while we presented
Kesha with a gift to thank her for her more than three
years of participation in our weekly Yoga program.
 On December 24, TEAM Sisterhood held “Rockin’
Chanukah Eve at the ADATH” complete with Chanukah
candle lighting, Chinese take-out, latkes and donuts,
and a Fiddler on the Roof sing-a-long that lasted until
well after midnight!
 Sunday, December 11 was the date of our TEAM
Sisterhood Holiday Knit Sale where we displayed, for
sale, all the hand knit items that we had been working
on since early summer! Along with the sale of some
custom holiday chocolate prepared by Galerie au
Chocolat, not only did we bring in over $1,500 but we
had enough items to donate to Jewish Eldercare
Centre, Chai Lifeline and Auberge Shalom.
 On Thursday, November 24, members of TEAM
Sisterhood got to together for a celebratory breakfast
to show our appreciation for the ladies in the ADATH
office, Maggie Kalajian, Marilyn Fisher and Audra
Libman who deserve our full thanks for all that they do
to help get our plans off the ground!
 This year’s Annual Raffle Gala in the theme of
“Backyard Barbeque” was a great success due to the
incredible ingenuity and hard work of the TEAM!
On behalf of TEAM Sisterhood at the ADATH, I take this
opportunity to wish everyone a happy, healthy and
kosher Passover holiday!
Andrea Elbaz, for the TEAM
With a record like that, there’s no stopping us now! On
the agenda in the coming months is our Passover
Chocolate Sale, guided tour of the Chagall exhibit at the
Museum of Fine Arts, a Spring Mah Jongg Tournament,
another installment of Books & Breakfast, weekly Bridge
and Mah Jongg and whatever else may come our way!

PROGRAMS, CLASSES, AND EVENTS
Morning & Evening Daf Yomi
Daf Yomi (Page a Day Talmud Study) is the schedule of studying a page of Talmud a day. All over the world, thousands of
Jews each day study the same page of Talmud, thus connecting them in their pursuit of Torah knowledge. The Talmud is
the main repository of Jewish learning and, using the Daf Yomi cycle, can be completed in about seven and a half years.
This is a great opportunity to delve into the heart of Jewish learning, and get your day started with intellectual and
spiritual vigor. No previous knowledge is necessary and you can attend every day or once in a while. We offer Daf Yomi
every morning and evening. Please see our weekly newsletter for exact times.
Shabbat Youth Groups
Our Shabbat youth groups meet every Shabbat morning starting at 10 a.m. This is one of the most popular and successful
programs at the ADATH. We encourage all children to participate.
Expanded Shabbat Youth Groups
In addition to our ongoing Shabbat youth groups, we now have a popular, creative, and exciting program led by Rabbi
Alex, every Shabbat morning starting at about 10:30 a.m. Each week we choose a theme and feature related stories,
games, and healthy refreshments. Everyone is welcome!
Weekly Talmud Class
The Talmud is the main repository of classical Jewish learning. Each week, we may touch on issues of history, philosophy,
law, rituals, ethics, spirituality, and much more. Join us each Shabbat afternoon 45 minutes before Minchah. Taught by
Rabbi Alex Zwiebel. Please see our weekly newsletter for exact times. All men and women are invited.

Jayden Dector - Thursday, July 6, 2017
Jayden graduated from Merton Elementary School. There he was one of the finalists in the annual
storytelling competition. He is currently attending Royal Vale High School. Jayden is an energetic, funloving sports fanatic; he’s your future TSN reporter or soccer star. His interests range from hockey,
soccer, tennis, baseball, and parkour. He plays for the Cote St. Luc Canucks hockey team, baseball for
Cote St. Luc, and soccer for N.D.G. Jayden is a true team player who always looks out for his teammates.
His other interests include watching movies, and listening to a variety of music. He has a great sense of
humor, and loves to chat about sports statistics. Jayden is carrying on the tradition of Simcha’s at the
ADATH as his parents were married at the shul, and the former Rabbi Kramer was at his dad’s side for
his Bar Mitzvah. Jayden’s entire family and close friends are very excited and proud to share this
upcoming Simcha with him.
Harrison Shporer and Joseph Shporer - Shabbat, June 3, 2017
Harrison and Joseph graduated from Royal Vale Elementary where each of them earned numerous
awards in math and science and were, respectively, assistant captain and captain of the hockey team.
They currently attend Royal West Academy, where Harrison is an honour roll student. The boys are
regular shul-goers and have been part of the ADATH family since birth. Individually, each of them
bring special gifts to those they meet. As Jewish adults, their humour, warmth and sensitivity for
others will surely lead to positive contributions within our community. They are avid readers and enjoy
many sports. They play hockey with the Pee Wee AA Maroons and Royal West teams; Harrison, a
forward and Joseph on defense. Summertime will be filled with camp, AAA baseball with the NDG
Lynx and more hockey. Joseph and Harrison’s family and friends are looking forward to sharing this
important milestone in the Jewish lifecycle with our congregation, Rabbi Whitman, and Rabbi Alex.
Proud parents are Audra Libman, and Ronnie Shporer, sister Leah Rachel, grandmother Miriam
Shporer, great-grandmother Edith Feldman, and their many excited aunts, uncles and cousins. Their adoring grandparents Leon
Shporer, Z”L, and Doreen Libman, Z”L will be missed very much.

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE
March, 2017
Dear ADATH Member,
One of the most enduring traditions of Judaism is honouring our families. The Torah calls us to honour our families during
their lives and to remember them when they are no longer with us.
Our Sisterhood is once again planning to publish a “Book of Remembrance 5778” to be used for Yizkor Services during
Yom Kippur, as well as during all other Yizkor Services throughout the year. Recalling the memories of our loved ones is
both an act of solemn piety and an expression of profound respect.
In this memorial publication, you will have the opportunity of honouring the memories of your loved ones. Please enter
the names(s) of those you wish to be included in our “Book of Remembrance” below and return to the synagogue, along
with your donation.
Sincerely,
TEAM Sisterhood

SALE OF CHOMETZ - 5777
Adath Israel Poale Zedek Anshei Ozeroff
Not only may we not eat Chometz on Pesach, it may not even be in our possession during the Holiday. The most simple solution
is to eat or give away any Chometz you may have as Pesach approaches. I will be happy to take any food you have and give it to
the non-Jewish needy. That which we find during the ‘Bedikas Chometz’ (Search for Chometz), we burn before Pesach. If you
wish to keep certain Chometz items for after Pesach, it is possible to do so by selling them to a non-Jew for the week of Pesach.
You may contact Assistant Rabbi Alex Zwiebel to act as your agent to arrange this sale for you. When you do so, it is important
to remember that you are selling your Chometz for that week - it does not belong to you and the non-Jew to whom it is sold has
the right to come and take it (and pay you for it). All sold items should be put in an area that can be closed off, taped shut, and
clearly labeled ‘sold.’
With the sale of the Chometz, you are also leasing to the non-Jew the property on which the Chometz sits. Therefore, you have
to tell Rabbi Alex where the Chometz is located.
You must arrange for the sale of your Chometz no later than 6:00 PM, Sunday, April 9, 2017. Preferably, you should contact Rabbi
Alex in person with the form below filled out. However, if you are unable to do so, you may fill out the form below and send it to
the ADATH office (but confirm we have received it by Sunday, April 9, 2017) by mail (223 Harrow Cr. Hampstead, QC H3X 3X7),
fax (514-482-6216), or email ([email protected]).

Where do you plan to be during Passover? __________________________________________________________________________________________
I give full power to Assistant Rabbi Alex Zwiebel to sell and transfer all legal title of all items owned by me (excluding that which I
will use or burn before Pesach) - knowingly or unknowingly - which are, or may contain Chometz according to Jewish law and/or
Tradition, and which the Mishnah Brurah, compiled by the Chofetz Chaim, describes as items which a Jew may not own during
Pesach*, to anyone of his choice and in any manner which he deems necessary. I also authorize Rabbi Alex to lease any property
where this Chometz is located. I also authorize Rabbi Alex to receive the buyer’s deposit and to appoint a substitute in his stead
if he wishes, with full power to sell and lease as described above. This sale is valid according to Jewish and secular law. The
present document has been written in the English language at the express request of the parties. Le present document a ete

categories.
