We Jews do history really well. At the Passover Seder we actually claim that weemerged from Egyptian bondage over three thousand years ago. On Tisha B’Av werecall the destructions of the Temple thousands of miles away that happened thousandsof years ago. On Yom Ha’atzmaut we remember and celebrate Israel IndependenceDay from merely decades ago. On Sukkot, Chanukah, Purim and so many more holidaysand events, we ritualize and honor joyous and solemn events in the history of ourpeople.Do we give comparable honor to the Jewish future? Absolutely.While a focus on the future is the outgrowth of Jewish memory, it is not as easy to findas our ever-present focus on history. When we look to most conclusions in our tradition,we find a positive and hopeful focus on the future. The Amidah concludes with aprayer for peace. Immediately upon completion of study of a Jewish text or section ofthe Talmud, we recite a prayer for future learning. And, we end our review of the pastyear on Yom Kippur and our exodus from Egypt at the Seder by looking ahead to theredemption by saying, “L’Shanah Ha’Ba’ah B’Yerushalayim- Next Year in Jerusalem.”Even at the conclusion of life on earth, we find a focus on the future. In the Talmud we find a series of questions ourtradition believes we will be asked when we ascend to heaven. Two of those questions are about our efforts to strivefor and create a Jewish future. While this can be a deep spiritual question, I’d like to address it on a practical level.We know that included in those experiences which effectively promote a Jewish future for our children, are peer-basedIsrael trips, a vibrant Jewish home life, Jewish day schools and Jewish summer camp.I would like to highlight Jewish summer camp. Study after study indicates that the immersive Jewish summer campexperience is the highest indicator of Jewish adult identification. Quite simply, camp works.Camp animates Judaism for Jewish kids. I am confident that I would not be as serious a Jew nor probably even be arabbi had I not attended a Jewish summer camp outside of Tumwater, Washington, as a young boy. I was a proud andstrongly-identifying Jew without camp, but with camp I experienced and learned that Judaism could be fun, cool andexciting.Among the wonderful Jewish summer camps that our kids from CSI attend (including Camp Young Judea, Greene FamilyCamp, Camp Sabra), my heart lies with our movement’s camping system, Camp Ramah. The Ramah camps provideexceptional camping experiences in a fun Jewish environment infused with Hebrew and fun Jewish learning. Ramahnow has two campsites that serve north Texas, in Georgia and Colorado. Camp Ramah Darom, in Georgia, provides afull range of camping opportunities for children starting in 4th grade. Additionally, our Ramah movement is embarkingon a Ramah Outdoor Adventure Camp at the new site of Ramah in the Rockies with programs for children entering 6th-10th grades. While some of you may have heard me preach about camp before, it warrants repeating because gettinga family hooked on Jewish summer camp makes a profound impact on the child, expands the horizons of the family andenhances our shul community.While camp unquestionably works, we know that fewer than 10% of Jewish youth of camp age attend Jewish summercamps. Many don’t go because people don’t know of the exceptional quality of these camps, their staffs and facilitiesand now their growing high-caliber specialty programs. Most don’t go because camp is expensive and especially in astruggling economy, this prospect for many families is even more difficult. However, there are resources available fromthe camps, our shul, and our Federation. There is no shame in asking. If you are in a position to help get a child to aJewish summer camp by providing scholarship money or helping a grandchild, please know that your investment helpsensure a hopeful Jewish future.When kids leave camp at the end of the summer they cry and sob like they never have before. Their experience becomesthat of history and memory preserved in scrapbooks both virtual and conventional. However, like all preservationof Jewish memory and history, Jewish summer camp illumines a path for a bright Jewish future. Your rabbis, all shapedby, and committed to, Camp Ramah, will do just about anything in our power to help get more of our children to attendJewish summer camp because nothing less than our future depends on it.1

congregation shearith israel celebrates purimAbout Purim:We celebrate Purim on the14th day of the HebrewMonth of Adar. (This yearPurim begins on the evening ofSaturday, February 27, and continueson Sunday, February 28.) We come tothe synagogue and listen carefully tothe reading of the Megillah. Each timethe Megillah reader mentions the nameof Haman, the evil villain in the Purimstory, we twirl our groggers, stamp our feet, and hissand boo! Purim is a time for masquerading, havingfun at carnivals and enjoying silly skits. Here atShearith Israel, we observe the mitzvah of MishloachManot – the practice of sending gifts to our fellowcongregants.The characters of the Purim story:Ahasverosh - The King of Shushan (Persia)-not oneof the wisest men. First, he was married to Vashti,then he married Queen Esther.Queen Vashti - King Ahasverosh’s first wife whorefused to come dance in front of Ahasverosh andhis guests. For that, she was asked to leave thekingdom.among friends and relatives,helping to achieve one of theprimary goals of Purim: tospread good cheer. The joyouscelebration of Purim has become“an occasion for sending gifts to oneanother” (Esther, 9:19). Among the giftsare hamantaschen and other ready-toeatfoods.Shabbat Zachor - On the Shabbatpreceding Purim, after the regular portionof the Torah is read, another section is read recallingthe attack of the Amalek tribe upon the Israeliteswhen they left Egypt. Meeting the Israelites just aftertheir liberation, smiting the stragglers, and takingadvantage of the Israelites weakness and weariness,Amalek symbolized the persecutor of the Jewsthroughout the ages. According to tradition, Hamanwas a descendent of Amalek.Ta’anit Esther - It is customary to fast on the daypreceding Purim to commemorate Esther’s fast beforeshe went to see the king with her special request.Mordechai - Esther’s uncle, who had a special role in thekingdom and learned of Haman’s evil plan to kill all theJews due, in part, to the fact that Mordechai would notbow down to Haman.Esther – The woman who became Queen of Shushan and,when learning about Haman’s evil plot to kill the Jews,risked her own life to go talk to the King to get him tochange his mind.Haman (Boo;hiss!) – Haman was close advisor to the kingwho got power hungry. When Mordechai refused to bowdown to him, he decided to get back at all the Jews, andindicated his desire to kill all the Jews on the 14th day ofAdar (which later became the Holiday of Purim).Zeresh – Haman’s wife.Purim Terms to Note:Megillah - A scroll on which the Purim story is written.While we read (or listen to) the story being read, we listencarefully for Haman’s name so we can make a lot of noiseand blot out his name.Grogger - (in Hebrew, Ra’ashan, from the Hebrew worldfor noise – ra’ash) – used to make lots of noise whenHaman’s name is mentioned during the Megillah reading.Hamantaschen - The three-cornered cookies thatsymbolically are like Haman’s hat. Traditionally,hamantaschen were filled with poppy seed, cherry, orprune filling -- but now they are even filled with chocolate,and cinnamon and sugar – yummmmmmm!Mishloach Manot - The practice of exchanging giftsBakingHamentashenfor PurimWe need your help to make thousands ofHamentashen for our big Purim celebration!Contact Michael Zimmermann at 214.351.2922 orMichael@mdzproperties.com if you can bake on anyof the following dates:Sunday, February 7, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pmTuesday, February 9, from 9:00 am until 1:00 pmWednesday, February 10, from 9:00 am until 1:00 pmThursday, February 11, from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pmSunday, February 14, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm6

As a result of our past successes, thesynagogue has been able to improve basic services, add wonderful new staff members,and help expand programming significantly.The Annual Campaign follows the Jewish Federation model of “annual” and “plus” giving– which means that the synagogue relies on this area of funding from year to year toboth underwrite and expand our vital programming and financial aid to our congregants.The 10th Annual Campaign for Excellence (2008-2009) raised over $406,000 - despitethe current economic times. Over 500 congregant families supported this past year’sAnnual Campaign.Your Officers and Board of Directors want to express our deep appreciation - from thebottom of our hearts - for your continued support and love of our congregation.18
