Dear Chaverim,Each academic year ends with the Confirmation Service. The Confir-mation of the 9th grade students is the highlight and raison d’être of the service. But what exactly is “Confirmation?”Confirmation was begun by the early leaders of Reform Judaism in the 19th century. In fact, Re-

form Judaism in its genesis had abolished Bar Mitzvah because it was for boys only. The early reformers created Confirmation as a way to bring an egalitarian life-cycle event into the Jewish cycle of life which would recog-nize the entrance into adulthood of both young men and young women.They saw how the Jewish calendar fits so well into the academic calendar of the year as observed by most aca-demic institutions. Simchat Torah, the day on which we consecrate our new students into Jewish education oc-curs in the Fall, anytime from late September to the mid-dle of October. Shavuot, which celebrates our receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai and falls in the late spring, was the natural time to mark this new life-cycle event called Confirmation.Confirmation is not meant to be the end of Jewish edu-cation but rather an important milestone. I think of Con-firmation as the time on which our young people confirm what they had affirmed a couple of years earlier at their Bar/Bat Mitzvah, i.e. that they are ready to continue to live a life of Jewish values and rituals; a life which is guid-ed by the mitzvot, the commandments and the teachings of the Torah. Just as our ancestors willingly received the Torah at Mount Sinai, the Confirmands are willingly ac-

Rabbi’s Message continued from page 1

cepting this important responsibility to perpetuate Juda-ism and Jewish living in the future.So where does Bat Mitzvah come from? The early re-formers did not think of making Bar Mitzvah egalitarian and hence they began Confirmation for that reason. Bat Mitzvah was actually begun in the Conservative move-ment when Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, a Conservative Rab-bi who began the Reconstructionist Movement, called his daughter, Judith, to the Torah at the age of 12 back in 1922. Bat Mitzvah was gradually adopted first by the Conservative Movement in the middle of the 20th cen-tury, followed by the Reform Movement (which had re-introduced Bar Mitzvah in the early 1900’s) adopting the practice as well.Today, Confirmation, marking a milestone in Jewish edu-cation, is a common practice in Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist and even some Orthodox synagogues. The ritual of Bat Mitzvah for girls is commonly practiced by all the movements as well. However, what the girl does for her Bat Mitzvah differs between the Orthodox and the non-Orthodox movements.At Temple Emanu-El, the custom of recognizing a mem-ber who has contributed tirelessly to our congregation as “Volunteer of the Year” has been a practice here for over a couple of decades. I am pleased to announce that this year’s “Volunteer of the Year” is Sharyn Russell. A geri-atric social worker by profession, Sharyn helped begin the Temple Emanu-El Chesed Committee several years ago. Through her commitment to having our congrega-tion truly be a welcoming one to all, she has guided the Chesed Committee to be a vital resource for those in need. Providing rides to those no longer able to drive, creating and delivering packages of holiday goodies to the homebound members of Temple Emanu-El and pro-viding resource materials for life’s challenges through the display of helpful Lifelight pamphlets inside the Brindis Entrance on 10th Avenue are just some of the important activities in which the Chesed Committee has been en-gaged and by which it has communicated that we are a caring community.Please join us for the 72nd Annual Confirmation Service on Friday, May 17th at 7:00 pm when we wish a hearty Mazal Tov to the 9 members of the 2013 Confirmation Class and again on Friday, May 31st at 7:00 pm for our Annual Membership Recognition Service when we say Yasher Koach in honoring Sharyn Russell as our “Volun-teer of the Year.”

chesed committee announces the launch of Lotsa Helping HandsAs announced during the High Holiday services, there are times when there is a need for help in our Temple com-munity.Temple Emanu-El through its Chesed Committee is launching a new program called Lotsa Helping Hands that will enable all of us to lend a helping hand. Even beyond helping others with serious needs, there are many times to communicate, to ask for and give help in ordinary community relations. Be part of a group that can occasionally offer help at a special minyan or lend a hand with a special project.An important letter from the Rabbi will be coming soon on how to help and how to log into LotsaHelpingHands through our Temple website. All that we ask is that you sign in (no obligation is incurred on signing in) and become part of our caring Temple community. For more information regarding Lotsa Helping Hands, please contact: Chesed Committee member Fred Feldman, fredfeldman@comcast.net or 603-580-5779. Or Chesed Committee Chair, Sharyn Russell, SRuss1010@aol.com.If you have a Chesed need or interesting project with which you want help, please let Rabbi Korinow know at rab-bik@templeemanu-el.org.

HEFTY NewsOur last Hefty event was at the Jew-

ish Film Festival in Concord, New Hamp-shire. We learned about the Jewish infl uences in

the show, “The Simpsons.” It was a sold out movie and very fun. Last month’s Creative Service was based on our theme, “Jews in Entertainment.” HEFTY ran a wonderful Shabbat evening service. I would like to personally thank all of HEFTY for their participation in the service.Our next event is a trip to Wasabi Restaurant, a hiba-chi grill in Salem, NH. We will be meeting at Wasabi at 6:30pm on May 11th. Lastly, our closing event is the end-of-year barbeque. We traditionally end the year with a time to cement all of the friendships we have made over the year. This is also when the 2013-2014 Executive Board is voted in by the membership. After the barbeque is the Old Board/New Board meeting. Information and tips that have been learned are passed on to their re-spective successors. Hope that most Heftyites are able to attend the fi nal 2 events for the year.

creative ServiceHighlights

What a wonderful time we had at the 2013 Spring Basket Auction! The room looked beautiful, bas-kets and silent auction items were set and ready to go and the food was delicious. I am happy to an-nounce we raised $2500 for our family education programs for you and your children. A special thank you to our committee co-chairs –

Marie Katzen and Lisa Desberg who worked so hard to make this event a success. Thank you also to our “MC and Auctioneer extraordinaire”, Rabbi Korinow who, with his charmingly persuasive techniques made sure we raised as much as possible for each basket. Thanks to Alan Katzen and Eric Tracy for manning the registration table, selling tickets for the 50-50 raffl e (congratulations to Jackie Berman our raffl e winner) and for coordinating and collecting the money for the items purchased. Thank you to all who donated and purchased baskets and silent auction items to benefi t the Adeline B. Watnick Religious School Children’s Fund. Thank you to Emily’s Bakery in Haverhill (Building 19 Plaza) who donated the very deli-cious cheesecake deserts. When you go to Emily’s for your challah or other baked goods, please let them know you are from Temple Emanu-El. If you haven’t been to Emily’s – it’s worth the trip.May is here and that means the end of this religious school year. Wasn’t it just yesterday when classes be-gan? As I write this article we are looking forward to our fi rst Lag B’Omer celebration with outdoor games (weath-er permitting) and a picnic snack. Each participant will receive a “medal” for participation. This should be fun for everyone!Please join us for the very beautiful and moving Confi r-mation Service on May 17, 7:00pm. This service will also include graduation for our 12th graders and Religious School Awards will be presented. I look forward to seeing you at Confi rmation.

Chesed CommitteeIn today’s world, many of us seem to be pressured by time – having enough time for work, for family, for friends, for ourselves. It has been my greatest pleasure to work with Chesed volunteers who also fi nd time for others – time to bake hamantashen, time to deliver a holiday food package, time to make a friendly phone call, time to put a few extra items in your food cart to deliver to some-one experiencing a medical crisis, or time to help set up a home for a shiva meal. Most of these mitzvot can be done in less than an hour. I do hope that all of you will consider offering to lend a helping hand when you have the opportunity to sign up for LotsaHelpingHands over the coming months. Fred Feldman is making it painless and simple to sign on, and learn how you too can make a difference to someone by volunteering even an hour once in a while. “The gift is in the giving.”

Fu n d r a i s i n g at Te mp l e E m a n u-E lScrip Comes to Temple Emanu-El!Shop with Scrip is an easy way to support Temple Emanu-El. Sim-ply purchase gift cards (or “scrip”) for places where you plan to shop, and use those cards instead of cash or credit. The Temple purchases the gift cards at a discount and sells them at full face value; you use them at full face value at your favorite retailers. The beauty is that you put your regular shopping dollars to work. You earn money for the Temple without spending a single additional penny. Keep cards for Shaw’s, Kohl’s, Starbucks, Target, CVS, Dunkin’ Donuts and many other retailers in your pocket to use just like cash. Scrip can be used for all your household purchases: groceries, clothes, household supplies, gasoline, entertainment, dining, and gifts, to name just a few.Our fi rst three orders, though small, were quite successful. As we increase our participation, this has the potential to be a great fund-raiser for the Temple.

Now that we have several orders behind us and are more familiar with the process, we are moving to a regular sched-ule. Orders will be collected and submitted on the 10th of each month (or the next business day if the Temple offi ce is closed). For inclusion in our next order, forms and payments should be submit-ted to the offi ce no later than May 10, 2013.Our Scrip vendor is continually adding new retailers. We’ll use this space, as well as reminder emails, to let you know when new gift cards are available.Order forms and additional information are available on the wall outside the Temple offi ce, in the library, and on our website at www.TempleEmanu-El.org/fundraising. You may also order scrip online at www.shopwithscrip.com. If you have any questions, please contact Paula Breger at:978.373.8846 or library@TempleEmanu-El.org.

Adult EducationPresents

While the history of Jewish communities in Europe is well known to many American Jews, there are many Jewish communities in the world that are little known to us.The Adult Education Committee invites you to attend a program on The Jews of Cuba.Laurie Tishler Mindlin, Director of the Merrimack Valley Jewish Federation went on a Mission to Jewish Cuba along with 25 other Directors of small Jewish Federations from across the US this past February. She returned filled with enthusiasm after observing and enjoying the Jewish community’s history and resurgence of Jewish life. They visited the sites of Jewish Havana and met with a host of committed Jewish leaders who are reviving and rebuilding Kehillot after 40 years of “anti-religion” communist rule. They learned about their challenges and opportunities, what the American Jewish commu-nity has done to help out, and how we, in the Merrimack Valley, might be a part of their future. They were changed by this experience and would like to share it with you.

This is a real opportunity to learn about Jewish history and experi-ence outside the diaspora that we’re familiar with.As always, a breakfast will be served at 9:30 am and the pro-gram will start at 10 am.Please RSVP to Nancy 978-373-3861 or Nancy@TempleEmanu-el.org for planning purposes although “drop-ins” are always welcome.

One of my priorities for the new cataloguing software is to fi nd a package that will allow members of Temple Emanu-El to search our database online. If you are able to assist us by making a donation for this up-grade, please contact Nancy in the offi ce.Our book group met once again last month to discuss Once We Were Brothers, by Richard Balson.

Federation Upcoming Events

Honor your Mother and your FatherThe Torah tells us that we must always honor our parents. Our Jewish tradition extends that law to say that we must honor all our loved ones, and remember them in death. There is no better way to remember and honor the memory of your departed family members than to have a Memorial Yahrzeit Plaque on the wall of the Temple sanctuary.

You have seen the plaques on the wall of the sanctuary. Each week, the plaques belonging to our beloved departed, whose Yahrzeit, or anniversary of death, is that week, are lighted. This is to recognize the anniversary of that person, and to give us an opportunity to lovingly honor the memory of that person, at least once every year. Also, three times per year, on Yizkor, all the plaques are lit to remember all the loved ones of our Temple.

The plaque contains the name of the deceased, both in English and Hebrew, as well as the date of the person’s death. The plaques are available whenever the sanctuary is open, so someone can always see the name and remember the loving memories of the departed family member. This is a loving way to remember a parent, spouse or child.

The cost of a memorial Yahrzeit plaque is a one-time cost of $250. This cost includes the engraving of the plaque, placing it on the wall, in alphabetical order, and having it lit on Yahrzeit and Yizkor to perpetuity. To purchase a plaque, contact Nancy or the Rabbi at the Temple, (978) 373-3861.
