❖ From Our President’s Desk Gary Miller

Dear Congregants, January is always a busy time inPalm Springs, and it is been so forTemple Isaiah as well. It is gratifying to see the greatattendance at Shabbat services onFriday nights, and Saturday morningservices are also better attended thanin recent memory. This upturn is been since Rabbi Lazar has assumed thepulpit last June, and we anticipate ever increasingattendance as the word gets out and more people come to experience his warm, thoughtful, meaningful services. The month we had the great fortune to have twoextraordinary speakers for the Short Speakers Series. OnJanuary 17th Rabbi Elie Spitz challenged us to keep anopen mind, such as a juror has to do at a trial, in exploringwhether the soul survives. His talk was intellectually,personally and spiritually challenging, and I believe all thatwho attended this talk had much to contemplate anddiscuss with friends and family about the topic. Two weeks later, on January 31st, Dr. MichaelAlexander spoke on the Future of Jewish Studies in the21st century. This was a very forward thinking view aboutthe potential changes that will occur in and to Judaismduring the 21st century. Many of you have gotten to know Michael over the pastfive years, as he partnered with us to put on the Philip andEleanor Short Lecture Series. He has been a great friendto Temple Isaiah, and we were delighted when he wasnamed as the first chair of the newly endowed Moses Maimonides Chair of Jewish Studies at the University ofCalifornia, Riverside. This is a great honor for Michael andendowing the chair means that Jewish studies will continuein perpetuity at UCR. Michael has told me that he considersTemple Isaiah “his synagogue.” He feels at home with usand is grateful for our openness and warmth. What a greatcompliment for our congregation. We will end the Short speakers series for this year onFebruary 28 with another speaker from the University ofCalifornia, Riverside. Dr. David Jassby will be speaking on“Is water desalinization the answer? What canCalifornia learn from Israel?” (See ad in next column).Dr. Jasssby studied at The Hebrew University of Jerusalemand he will give us an insight into how the technology wasdeveloped and is used in Israel. I hope all of you will planto attend this talk, which will be held in the auditorium of theUniversity, California, Riverside campus/Palm Desert.

I hope all of you have invited your friendsand bought your tickets to hear the fabulous Craig Taubman and Band, who will be hereat Temple Isaiah on February 18 at 7 PM.This will be a wonderful opportunity for all ofus to get together and enjoy an evening ofgreat music. Thank you to Cantor Sam Radwine for

conducting services on January 29/30, allowing RabbiLazar a well deserved week off in Israel with his family.

I look forward to seeing you at services and the manysocial and educational events that are going on at TempleIsaiah. Your participation in our activities is critical in ourongoing efforts to provide a viable Jewish CommunityCenter for our community.

Shalom,

Rabbi Raphael Meldola, Huppat Hatanim,Livorno, Italy, 1797, Gross Family Collection,

Tel Aviv

❖From the Rabbi’s StudyRabbi David Lazar

Most of you know that this is my firstfull year as an adult living in the UnitedStates. As I have watched those aroundme prepare for and observe thefestivities of Halloween, Thanksgiving,Christmas, New Year’s and Martin LutherKing Day, I have been thinking abouthow each of these days, important indifferent ways to different people, leavetheir mark on society around us. While there are those whose main expression ofcelebration is religious by nature, for most the importance ofthese days is cultural and/or social. And of course, much ofwhat is done on and around these occasions isovershadowed by the commercial aspectsof the day. Still, it seems to me that eachof these seasonal events is an opportunityto find meaning, not just as an American,but as a Jew. Let’s take Valentine’s Day coming upnow on February 14. Many of you haveheard of a similar type of day in the Jewishtradition - Tu B’Av, or the 15th in theJewish month of Av and that this is howJewish folks should be dedicating a day tolove. One one hand, I’m all in favor ofcelebrating holidays and festivals of ourown Jewish heritage, even one as thiswhich was not observed for close to 2,000years. Yet, I also feel that the society andculture here in the United States offers usan even better opportunity to help ussanctify time and find greater meaning inour lives. All sorts of theories about Valentine’sDay, exactly how it started and became aday dedicated to romance are easily foundon-line. And while there actually is a daydedicated to a St. Valentine in theChristian tradition, it’s not entirely clearexactly which of the various men bearingthat name is the one to whom this day is dedicated. At some point the observance of Valentine’s Day - at least in popular circles - was influenced by a pagan tradition concerning loveand attraction in this season. But at least as far back as the15th century (some would say even in Chaucer’s writings inthe 14th century), romance has been associated with theday. Of the various customs related to Valentine’s Day, writingpoetry, or what became known as “Valentines,” one toanother, can be traced back to the 15th century. While todayit seems that most people rely upon the greeting card (andnow, e-card) industry to provide the text and graphics, therewas originally an expectation of something more personal.True, not everyone was blessed with the gift of poeticcomposition and there is a long history, as early as 1797,when The Young Man’s Valentine Writer was published, of

little handbooks developed as aids in writing wittyValentines. Perhaps we consider, for at least a moment, the valueof putting our feelings toward our loved one in writing. Aparticularly Jewish approach might be to search forinspirations in the biblical Song of Songs, or in thecollections of erotic poetry of the great medieval rabbissuch as Yehudah Halevi and Shmuel Hanagid. Another standard feature of Valentine’s Day is that cutelittle winged fellow, Cupid - or as he was known in AncientGreece, Eros - the god of desire and erotic love. Some saythat the connection between Cupid and this day goes backto Saint Valentine, who, in 3rd century Rome, illicitly offeredto perform wedding ceremonies for soldiers who wereotherwise required to remain single. Warriors wishing towed would recognize Valentine by his amethyst ring whichwas engraved with an image of Cupid (Max L. Christensen,Heroes and Saints: More Stories of People Who Made aDifference, Louisville, 1997, p. 25).

Surprisingly, Cupid makes anappearance even in the Jewishworld. In the very same year that TheYoung Man’s Valentine Writer waspublished in England, Hupat Hatanim(Canopy of Bridegrooms) by RabbiRaphael Meldola (1754-1828), cameout in Livorno (Leghorn), Italy. Thiswork, also a handbook of sortsdirected to the young male adultmarket, deals with the very detailedJewish laws and customs governingthe relationship between husbandsand wives. Cupid’s image isreproduced not once, but twice,toward the end of the first edition ofthis small volume. We don’t know exactly why theprinter in Livorno chose to add theimage of a pagan god to thispublication, though I’m guessing thathe, or others involved with theproject, saw Cupid only as a populardecorative image having to do withromance and marriage and werevery possibly unaware of his paganorigins. For me and most Jews I knowand work with today, Hupat Hatanim

is not a terribly relevant book. It deals in the sexist manner of pre-Feminist

Judaism, with antiquated notions of heterosexual marriagefrom the match-making process, through preparation forand observance of the nuptial ceremony to the intricatelaws of how a couple negotiates the woman’s monthlymenstrual cycle which, according to the tradition, rendersher impure. And still, as in the case of the above mentionedValentine writing handbooks, I would say that we havemuch to learn from this book. Even if many of us havechosen to vastly widen our definition of romance andmarriage, both when it comes to gender equality as well asquestioning, and for some, rejection of the heterosexualnorm, there is much to be said for deep discussion of how

two people meet and eventually live together in aharmonious way.

At Temple Isaiah this year, we will observe theMonth of Love in our own Jewish way with a mini-series entitled “(Alternative) Love in the Bible”on February 10, 17 and 24. The aim of these

lectures to help us all think about and discuss just how farwe are willing to go in order to find inspiration in the biblicalnarrative for the values that we hold dearly. I will begin the series with a study session highlightingthe complicated erotic relationship between Adam, Eve, theSerpent and the Earth in the first three chapters of the bookof Genesis. The second meeting will examine the lovetriangle between Esther, Ahasveros and Mordechai. One ofour newer members, Joy Silver, will wind up the series bypresenting a talk entitled: “The Greatest Love of All - SeeingThe Book of Ruth Through New Eyes.” My hope is that this Month of Love will provide us with anopportunity to reflect upon how each of us deal with thecomplicated and sometimes messy business of romanceand love. I’m also hoping that we as a community givethought to just how we might help those around us in thisendeavor. My vision for Temple Isaiah is one in whichsingles - if they are so inclined - can meet others and growthose relationships in a safe and sacred space. We shouldstrive to create and maintain a place where couples of allkinds and ages might learn and grow together. I hope that

they find the best ways for them to sanctify that relationshipfrom sitting together in prayer to standing together underthe huppah, or wedding canopy. Whether it’s writing a loving note, sending chocolate orsimply a romantic dinner together, may your Valentine’sDay, and this entire Month of Love, bring you closer to theone you love. May those who are looking for a partner findone and may those who are already together grow andsanctify this season with love.

Rabbi’s insightful, lively class on the weekly torah portionis held on Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:15 pm inthe Temple library on the lower level.

❖From the Executive Director

Doug Morton Dear Friends,

Most probably you have noticed that

on Friday nights and Saturday mornings -

and for lectures held in the Liberman

Chapel - we now have locked the door

into the Temple from the west parking

lot, requiring everyone to enter from the

door by the Liberman. The reason? We

are trying to become a little more security

conscious as we move forward. Until

now, people could come into the building

from the west entrance during services and we would have

no idea that they were in the Temple, leaving us

vulnerable.

Most of you will want to continue parking in the parking

lot, and just walk in front of the building to the Liberman

entrance. The distance is the same; it just means walking

outside, not through the lobby. Our Onegs continue to be

in the Vener Lobby, and everyone can exit via the west

door.

You all are aware that during business hours we keep

all doors locked, and people have to ring the office from

that west entrance to enter the building. This is just an

extension of those precautions.

We are also looking into implementing additional motion

sensors and cameras, as well as requiring people at the

west entrance door before events held in the Bochner

Sanctuary and Warsaw Ballroom.

We trust you understand and appreciate these additional

steps are for all of our safety. If you have questions, I am

happy to discuss these changes; just give me a call.

On to other things, beginning with announcing an

Important achievement: we are close to our membership

goal for this fiscal year. If you know someone who may be

interested in joining, please let me know so that I can call

or meet with them. And please invite your friends to join

you at Shabbat services and at our wonderful events.

THIRD ANNUAL JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL

If films are your thing, you have to check

out what we have online for our Third Annual

Jewish Film Festival (March 20, 22 & 23)!

Not only can you purchase your tickets

tickets and opening night event) but you can

click on links to trailers on all of the films!

As I alluded to, we are so excited to

announce that we’ve added an opening night

March 20th and we will have Neil Friedman of Menemsha

Films, the largest distributor of Israeli films in the country,

here to lead a discussion on trends/themes in Israeli

cinema following the screening. (You can find more

information about Neil Friedman by going online to:

http://www.menemshafilms.com/about-neil-friedman.html.)

Eileen Stern and her dedicated committee have worked

incredibly hard to assure that this year’s festival will be the

best yet. I hope that you will be a part of this great event.

Please call me if we can count on you to sponsor either

the upcoming Craig Taubman Concert or the Jewish Film

Festival. I will make sure to get you the information you

need or get you in touch with someone who will. And, of

course, the information is available online!

I look forward to seeing you at our many February

events ... from our wonderful weekly Shabbat services ...

to the fabulous Craig Taubman Concert on February 18th

... to the weekly ExploraTorah classes ... to Rabbi’s

(Alternative) Love in the Bible mini series ... and, finally, the

February 28 final lecture of our 2015/16 Short Speaker

Series on Desalination. And I cannot leave out the

incredible event for our ladies, the High Tea hosted by the

Temple Isaiah Women’s Auxiliary on February 25th! What

a month!

Then we get ready for March, beginning with an exciting

Shabbat experience on March 4th when Ami Yares returns

(remember him from that special service last July? He is

Rabbi’s longtime friend, the American-Israeli Folk-Rock

Singer). Ami will again join Rabbi in the Kabbalat Shabbat

Service held at 6:30 pm, and then we will follow services

with a Shabbat Buffet Dinner for $20 a person! See page

3 for details.

Sixteen days later begins our fantastic Jewish Film

Festival: March 20, 22 & 23.

Wow! So many great things are happening at our

Temple! I look forward to seeing you here often!

Shalom,

Doug Morton
