Rabbi Meeka’s Musings<br />

Shalom TAS’s Mishpacha משפחה (Family)<br />

I have been asked “what is Rabbi’s<br />

Discretionary Fund used for?” which is a<br />

great question because it allows me to<br />

elaborate on what it is that I actually do<br />

with the funds available to me, from this<br />

account.<br />

In short: The Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund<br />

enables a congregational rabbi to lend<br />

support, care, and kindness to those in the<br />

community who need it.<br />

One of the greatest blessings we can all<br />

fulfill as Jews, is the act of tzedakah, giving<br />

to worthy causes consistent with our<br />

values and aspirations, as we commit to<br />

tikkun olam: doing our modest part in the<br />

huge task of mending our aching world.<br />

I have been committed to giving tzedakah<br />

since very early age: at first without full<br />

awareness. As elementary school students,<br />

we were told to “take our Blue Tzedaka<br />

box” (or “pushkeh” as some of you may<br />

remember this old Yiddish term), “go from<br />

house to house in my old neighborhood of<br />

Never Sha’anan, Haifa, to collect funds in<br />

support of KK”L ( Kerenקק״ל Kayemet<br />

Le’Yisrael, or JNF, Jewish National Fund).<br />

As children we engaged in this act of<br />

“door-to-door collections” because we<br />

were asked to do so, and we thought it<br />

was for “fun,” but as an adult, I am<br />

feeling incredibly privileged to engage<br />

in these acts of “sharing by giving.”<br />

For me, giving Tzedakah is a way of life.<br />

I cannot not give Tzedakah, and not<br />

because I can get a tax deduction, or a<br />

‘thank you’ note. For me – not giving is<br />

not an option: I am most definitely<br />

about “supporting, sharing, giving and<br />

spreading love.”<br />

Rabbi Meeka’s Musings<br />

cont'd<br />

As a rabbi, I have taken the responsibility of<br />

managing my Discretionary Fund very seriously. A<br />

discretionary fund, or a Rabbi’s Good Deed fund, is<br />

just that, an opportunity for congregants to thank<br />

rabbis, and to enable us to do the work of tzedakah<br />

by facilitating a response to the multitude of<br />

requests that come in daily, via emails, printed mail,<br />

phone calls, etc. The fund is always used to help<br />

others in the name of the members who<br />

generously donate to it.<br />

Rabbi Amy Perlin summarized the following in a<br />

wonderful way:<br />

“I feel blessed to be in [this community] with so<br />

many kindred spirits who have the same devotion<br />

to supporting worthy causes as I do, and who assist<br />

me in giving on behalf of our community. The need<br />

is greater than ever in this economy where we have<br />

all the resources our world could ever need, but a<br />

failure to distribute and share those resources with<br />

the most needy and worthy of our society and<br />

Jewish community. I find myself drawn to Jewish<br />

charities, as we Jews decline in numbers and as the<br />

Jewish community has become less philanthropic<br />

as a whole. If we don’t give, who will? And I love<br />

supporting our members in their tikkun olam<br />

efforts whenever I can.”<br />

When to give to Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund (RDF)?<br />

Some people donate in honor, or memory, of a<br />

loved one. Some people give a donation to the RDF<br />

upon receiving a service, for example, a life cycle<br />

event at the temple, like a funeral, Shiva Minyan, B<br />

Mitzvah service, Bris/Baby Naming, Jew by Choice<br />

ceremony, etc. Others simply make a donation<br />

periodically, for specific purposes, like when we<br />

honor our Graduating, or Confirmation students<br />

(which will be happening in late May this year, stay<br />

tuned for more details).<br />

Since coming on board TAS, I have made donations<br />

to a variety of causes: the list below will give you an<br />

idea of the range of beneficiaries.<br />

Please note that there are worthy causes that will not be<br />

on this list for a host of reasons. But, you should all be<br />

proud to know that TAS is doing its share of “repairing<br />

our world.” I am so grateful to be able to give our support<br />

to the worthy recipients listed below:<br />

TAS’s Religious School<br />

TAS’s Early Learning Center<br />

TAS’s Mitzvah Day<br />

TAS’s Sisterhood<br />

Social Action of Temple Adas Shalom<br />

Introduction to Judaism classes<br />

Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation<br />

CCAR (Reform Rabbi’s organization, in which I am a<br />

proud member)<br />

MD Food Bank<br />

HdG Township<br />

Other (matan ba’seter, giving discreetly)<br />

As we embark on Springtime’s Passover, our personal<br />

transitions from slumber and cold to warmer weather<br />

and the promise of sunny days ahead, I am asking you to<br />

please help me sustain this wonderful upswing of<br />

“Giving”.<br />

Happy and HEALTHY spring’s Passover celebration!<br />

With love and appreciation,<br />

Rabbi Meeka<br />

Rabbi Meeka’s Musings<br />

A short Yizkor Primer<br />

On Friday, <strong>April</strong> 7th this year, some of us will gather here in our Sanctuary (and some will join from home), as we<br />

acknowledge the memories of our loved ones who have passed with a commemoration called “Yizkor.”<br />

Together, we will light all the Yahrzeit, memorial lights, along with six special candles to honor the 6 million Jews<br />

who perished during the Holocaust in a special service beginning at 6:00 pm, prior to our Shabbat evening<br />

service. Although we are observing this service on the 7th, it is<br />

traditionally tied to the last day of Passover.<br />

Yizkor means "remembrance" in Hebrew. It refers to memorial<br />

prayer services held four times a year during pilgrimage<br />

holidays (also known as Festivals): Yom Kippur, Sukkot,<br />

Passover, and Shavuot. These Festivals are mentioned<br />

specifically in our Torah. One example: it says in Leviticus 23:23<br />

-25 the following:,<br />

“God spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to the Israelite people thus:<br />

In the seventh month (Tishrei. Remember that in Torah times, first month was Nissan, thus 7th month was<br />

Tishrei), on the first day of the month, you shall observe complete rest, a sacred occasion commemorated with<br />

loud blasts. You shall not work at your occupations; and you shall bring an offering by fire to God”.<br />

We, as Jewish people, believe in the eternity of the soul. It has been a common belief that by saying Yizkor,<br />

remembering a loved one, and giving charity in a loved one's name – this helps his or her soul gain merit from<br />

our good deeds. Jewish literature has always focused intently on “remembering.”<br />

Yizkor in its different forms appears in the Bible 228 times, , referring to such diverse elements as Shabbat, with<br />

references, , and other such זכור את אשר עשה לך העמלק Israelites, or Amalek’s attack on the זכור את יום השבת לקדשו<br />

intended to remind us to Never Forget.<br />

The Torah’s repeated foundation, “because you were slaves in Egypt,” draws on collective memory to promote<br />

moral and ethical behavior among all of us: “do not enslave, or treat others poorly, as you must remember how<br />

YOU were treated before God freed you out of Egypt.” This suggests that all Jews are bound as One in shared<br />

autobiographical and historical experiences.<br />

On a different yet similar note, I wanted to remind all of us that many Jews in our world will not be able to<br />

celebrate Passover this year. Some are still caught in the atrocious flames of war in Ukraine; some are<br />

homebound due to illnesses and fear of still-in-existence Covid. So please remember to give Tzedakah, donation,<br />

to at least one (or more if you are able) sources that assist others. That is how we each remember that Tikkun<br />

Olam, mending of our aching world, happens one step, one act of lovingkindness, at a time.<br />

Ba’Shana ha’ba’ah bi’Yrushalayim – please join our congregational trip to Israel after Rosh Ha’Shanah!<br />

Lechayim, to life and health,<br />

Rabbi Meeka<br />

President's Message<br />

Mark Wolkow<br />

What’s Going on?<br />

If you haven’t noticed, a lot! Between educational<br />

programs (adult and child); social programs; social<br />

action events; Sisterhood and (coming soon)<br />

Brotherhood activities; new teams working<br />

Communications and other activities; plus our new<br />

ShulCloud Membership program… not to mention staff<br />

changes. It’s been quite a whirlwind.<br />

And there’s no plan to slow down. Our March Family<br />

Shabbat was celebrated in-person by over 60 people,<br />

and Rock Shabbat brought a crowd of over 70… with<br />

more watching online. Mike Mullis has been updating<br />

our YouTube site, where over 80 have tuned in to catch<br />

Rock Shabbat. If you haven’t been for a while, join us<br />

for a shabbat service. It’s a great way to end the week;<br />

to enjoy the music; and to ease out of the work week<br />

with friends. If you can’t make it in person, be there on<br />

Zoom or YouTube.<br />

RPC Message<br />

Melissa Immel<br />

Greetings From the Religious Practices Committee!<br />

<strong>April</strong> showers bring May flowers…and also Pesach, Daven & Dine, Enhanced Onegs, and so much more!<br />

Spring will be breaking out all over Temple Adas Shalom, so please be a part of it! The RPC's focus this year is<br />

to enhance our member's experience through both worship and fellowship. For instance, we will be hosting<br />

an 'Enhanced Oneg' after our 7pm Shabbat service on <strong>April</strong> 14th. In addition to the customary oneg deserts,<br />

the RPC will be sponsoring a catered meal with salad, breadsticks, pasta, cocktails, and music. No charge!<br />

The only thing we ask is that you attend. Please!!!<br />

If you haven’t been to a Daven & Dine, why not give it a try on <strong>April</strong> 21st at 6:15?<br />

It's a brief 45-minute Kabbalat Shabbat service, then we dine out together at a<br />

local restaurant.<br />

On <strong>April</strong> 14, we will formally acknowledge Denise<br />

Gordon and Pat Wolkow as Adolph Nord Award<br />

winners. See this month’s President’s video for<br />

more information on the Nord Award.<br />

Last but not least, mark your calendar for<br />

Saturday, August 12, when we will formally install<br />

Rabbi Meeka and celebrate her one year<br />

anniversary with TAS.<br />

Shalom,<br />

We go to work each day – those of us who aren’t retired – and we focus on our jobs. We work hard. We take<br />

care of things in the office, on the job site, and if we have responsibility for others we take care of other<br />

people. At the end of the week, we are usually tired and fatigued. Coming to shul on a Friday night can be a<br />

challenge, but once you’re there; once you have a few minutes of quiet time; and sing or just listen to the<br />

congregation singing; and get a bit of meaning or inspiration; and schmooze for a few minutes with friends<br />

or people you haven’t seen in a while – well, it’s just a great way to end your week and kick start Shabbat.<br />

Please consider checking us out again on Friday night. <strong>April</strong> 14th is an ideal time to give us a try!<br />

Hope to see you in shul!<br />

TOT SHIRA: Each month, Kehillah MAGNET welcomes families with children 5 and<br />

Dear Congregants,<br />

Put <strong>April</strong> 22 as we will be having our second in-person film night at<br />

7pm in the Social Hall. We will be showing the film “The Last Laugh”<br />

to be followed by a discussion – snack will be provided- This event is<br />

Free of charge! What a Deal !<br />

THE LAST LAUGH dares to ask: "Are we allowed to joke<br />

about the Holocaust?" This outrageously funny and thoughtprovoking<br />

film puts the question to legends and critical thinkers<br />

including Mel Brooks, Sarah Silverman, Gilbert Gottfried, and many<br />

others (including survivors), offering fresh insights into the Holocaust<br />

and what else-9/11, AIDS, racism-is or isn't off-limits in a society that<br />

prizes freedom of speech.<br />

Our next Book Discussion is Saturday, May 20 at 10:00am on Zoom.<br />

Our book is “The Women of Rothschild” by Natalie Livingston. The<br />

book reveals the role of women in shaping the legacy of the famous<br />

Rothschild dynasty S E L Lfrom I N G Htheir O M Ehumble S S I N C E beginnings 2 0 0 5 to their families’<br />

growth throughout Europe, England, and the United States. I highly<br />

March came in like a lion and out like a lamb. And certainly, our Sisterhood has shown her leonine qualities with all the<br />

activity that happened in March. We started off with Purim. Our biggest fundraiser of the year, Purim Greetings & Bag<br />

Bravo to our New & Returning Board Members<br />

We all greatly enjoyed being transported back in time to meet Feminist, Dorothy Rothchild Parker, from 1920's New<br />

SEE SOMETHING?<br />

SAY SOMETHING!<br />

SO, WE CAN DO<br />

SOMETHING!<br />

Security Updates:<br />

Prior to Services we may take 5 minutes or less to expose worshipers to security<br />

measures that we must think about for everyone’s safety and piece of mind.<br />

Zoomers: Do not be alarmed when you tune in and miss the introduction…<br />

thinking that something has gone awry. (Happened once with an impromptu<br />

Fire Drill!)<br />

Installation of the Public Address System has been completed! It is mainly for<br />

the school areas.<br />

Good News! There are no incidents to report for the “National Hate Day” that we<br />

were notified about last month! We can thank the Harford County Sheriff<br />

Department for the extra coverage to keep us and our building safe. We offered<br />

them Hamantaschen!<br />

We have provided some basic information and specific safety & security<br />

procedures in the sanctuary prayer book racks . Please review them regularly.<br />

with Mike and Mike<br />

The Temple Adas Shalom Technology Committee has been hard at work<br />

improving the technology aspects of our Synagogue.<br />

As part of that initiative, we have relaunched our Temple Adas Shalom YouTube Channel. As many other Temples are doing<br />

around the world, the TAS YouTube Channel will be home to our growing catalog of Shabbat Services, special events, and<br />

specialized videos that can be viewed by millions around the world. We are live streaming our Friday Night Shabbat<br />

Services to YouTube alongside of Zoom, for those who would rather watch on their mobile devices or SmartTV’s that have<br />

YouTube. You will be able to chat with others watching and enjoy all the channel content we are continuing to build. Part<br />

of that content includes new Adult Education programs, and<br />

a wonderful playlist of our beloved former B’aal Koreh<br />

Sig Gast who recorded our entire High Holiday Tefillah and Torah<br />

Portions in 2020.<br />

We invite you all to subscribe to the Temple Adas Shalom YouTube<br />
