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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

meal, and the service runs from 6:15 – 7:00 pm. Meals cost $5 per person or $15 for member families who RSVP through<br />
their ShulCloud Account. Attending Family Shabbat is a great way to enjoy the company of friends, relax after a long week,<br />
and provide further understanding of Hebrew learning!<br />
Our next Family Shabbat Dinner and Service will be on Friday, May 19, 2023. All are welcome!<br />
TOT SHIRA: Each month, Kehillah MAGNET welcomes families with children 5 and<br />

wonderful way to introduce little ones to our dedicated teachers and fantastic<br />
students. Our upcoming Tot Shira will be held at the synagogue on Sunday, <strong>April</strong><br />
30, from 11:15 to 11:45 am. We can’t wait to see you there.<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 Madness!<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 />
was a success. A huge thank you to both the members who planned and implemented the Purim Bag pickup, and to<br />
the generous participants!<br />
March 21 finished our month with a calmer but no less exciting event: our annual Board elections and program.<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 />
York. This was a “Living History Performance” by Colleen Webster, a local Professor of English at Harford Community<br />
College, and more.<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 />

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 />
