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.

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!

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.

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 redige en langue anglaise a la demande expresse des parties.
