It was only a few years ago that

we took members of Temple Beth

David on a trip to Israel in March

2014. Andrea Tabor has been

asking me to arrange another

Temple trip oversees either to Is-

rael or Europe. We are thinking

of spring 2018 but that really de-

pends on you. Here are some re-

flections on our experience of Israel from a few years ago.

“Every time I go to Israel it is in many ways like going

home, it is welcoming and comfortable to be in the only

country where what we do as Jews is the norm and the

way of life.” Charlie Niederman

“Right as we touched down in Israel I knew I had landed

in a special place when they said “Shabbat Shalom” over

the intercom on the plane. I never heard these words out-

side of temple, a family gathering or camp… I had a feel-

ing that I’ve come home and that I belonged.” Faith Pantel

“It is not too often an event, trip or project comes out bet-

ter than you thought it might. Well our trip to Israel was so

much better than I dreamed it to be. It was like everything

I had learned about or saw pictures of came to life and it

just felt good to be there.” Teri Roth

Are you interested in a congregational trip to Israel or to

Europe? Interest list is forming and trip will be designed

with the dates of those attending. Contact the rabbi with

your questions or interest: Rabbimy-

SISTERHOOD MATTERS!

By Anne Farber, Sisterhood President

SISTERHOOD MATTERS…

I hope everyone had a happy Hanukkah and look forward to a great 2017.

We sent three representatives to the convention in November in Las

Vegas. They came back and shared with us many great ideas, handouts and

available resources.

Sisterhood has been planning many activities for the coming year. Please

mark your calendars and plan to join us for the activities that interest you:

Pechanga Day Trip ---Jan. 31, 2017

Social Action Program – Feb. 5, 2017 (more info to follow)

Hamentashen Baking --- Feb. 26, 2017

Sisterhood Shabbat --- March 10, 2017

Fashion Show --- April 30, 2017

There will be more publicity as the events

approach.

The Sisterhood needs volunteers to work a

few hours a week or a month in the gift shop.

Please call Jackie Hewitt at 714-846-4620 if you

can help.

We are very excited about the remote electric window covering for all of

the social hall windows that Sisterhood was able to purchase. Now, when we

have presentations in the Social Hall, the shinning sun will not be a problem! It

also gives a warmer look in there. Come see.….

Shalom,

Anne Farber, President

SISTERHOOD

January 2017

As 2016 draws to a close we can reflect on what did and

did not happen in 2016 and speculate on what 2017 may

hold in store for Israel.

The agreement for an egalitarian prayer area at the Western

Wall (Kotel) was adopted by the Israeli cabinet at the end

of January. There has been resistance by the ultra-

Orthodox and several ruling coalition members, and there

is no schedule for its implementation. That did not stop

non-Orthodox Jews in Israel and the Diaspora from

continuing to pressure the government and the Reform

movement has held prayer services for men and women at

the undeveloped site. Rabbi Gilad Kariv, the Executive

Director of the Israel Movement for Reform and

Progressive Judaism said "The prayers of hundreds of

people and Reform rabbis at the Western Wall is the

ultimate answer to the incitement of the ultra-Orthodox

leadership... They continue to incite and we continue to

create a more pluralistic and tolerant reality in Israel."

In June diplomatic relations between Turkey and Israel

were renormalized and ambassadors were exchanged in

December. The allies continue to take steps toward a full

restoration of ties, but their improving relationship may be

an acknowledgement of regional reality rather than a

restoration of friendly relations.

In September the world lost a Nobel Peace Prize winner

and Israel lost a past Prime Minister and President, as

Shimon Peres died at the age of 93. His voice and

influence will be missed.

Overall the number of stabbings have decreased as the year

comes to an end, but the relationship between Israelis and

Palestinians does not show signs of improvement.

The 8-day wave of 90 wildfires in November caused an

estimated $520 million in damage. In Haifa 800

apartments were left uninhabitable, making 1,700 people

homeless. The international community was instrumental

in helping combat the fires. Egypt, Jordan, Azerbaijan and

Turkey all sent firefighting equipment to Israel. The

Palestinian Authority also pitched in by sending fire trucks

to Israel, in a moment of Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.

Israeli Public Security Minister said that between 40% and

50% of the fires were the result of arson, and he called it a

new form of Palestinian terrorism.

For Israel's Reform Jews the year has presented some sad

and stark realities. In addition to the government refusing

to implement terms of the Kotel agreement, there has been

a increase in vandalism nationwide and against the Reform

movement and its institutions. In December the Reform

congregation of Ra’anana, a suburb north of Tel Aviv,

suffered vandalism for the fifth time. Sprayed on the wall

was a verse number from the Book of Obadiah that

encourages violence against those deemed heretics. A

knife on an outdoor ledge covered three envelopes with the

names of prominent Reform leaders: Rabbi Rick Jacobs,

president of our Union for Reform Judaism, Rabbi Gilad

Kariv, Executive Director of the IMPJ; and Anat Hoffman,

chair of Women of the Wall, and Executive Director of the

Israel Religious Action Center. On the knife were words

from an ancient text that refers to the Jewish laws

pertaining to murder. Prime Minister Netanyahu, and other

ruling coalition members denounced the attack, but arrests

have yet to be made.

No review of the year can be complete without mentioning

the current US-Israel row. Until last week, President

Obama was the only recent US president to veto rather

than abstain from a Security Council resolution critical of

Israel. There appear to have been 23 abstentions, with

President Reagan's 10 leading the list. All that changed

when the US did abstain from one, which while more

balanced in its wording, was critical of Israel's West Bank

settlements. America’s UN Ambassador, Samantha

Power, spoke eloquently about UN mistreatment of Israel,

and called for an end to “the double-standard that

undermines the legitimacy of the UN.” Her remarks were

intended to explain why America chose to abstain. But

many American Jews, including opponents of the

settlements, pointed to those remarks as reason the US

could have cast a veto.

On Christmas Day Israel's Foreign Minister called the

ambassadors of all the nations that voted for the resolution

to denounce it. Prime Minister Netanyahu personally

called in the American Ambassador. He made public

statements denouncing the resolution and attacking the US

administration in personal terms. This was followed by an

impassioned speech by Secretary of State Kerry that

warned Israel that the settlements were destroying the

chances for a two state solution leaving Israel to choose

between becoming a Jewish or a Democratic state, since

eventually it will not be able to be both. He also felt Israel

could become a pariah state. It all leaves many American

Jews profoundly uncomfortable and wondering if it really

had to happen.

Since the incoming US administration is yet to be formed,

I'll take the easy route and wait until they take office next

month before making any predictions.

HANNUKAH CARNIVAL

Once again I have a lot of people to thank for a successful “potato latke sale”. It’s a lot of work but very rewarding to know that our job is so appreciated. My sincere thanks go to Eileen Tobey, Marlene Wedner, Jim Michaeloff, Jan Klein, Susan Schoenholtz, Alma Herman, Annette Helfman, Elaine Netzer, Sharon (David) Matalon, Mulu Harrison, Mary Treiger and Michelle Markell . There is no way this could have been done without the help of ALL of these people. It really does take a “village” to do this. A special thank you to Scott for picking up the potatoes and onions from Frieda’s and schlepping them to the temple and doing anything we ask for the mere payment of a latke!!! And he had to do this on his birthday!!! Thank you to those who came in the kitchen to offer their help. If you want to help me next year, please respond to the request so I can schedule you. Once again, I would like to thank Frieda Caplan, Karen Caplan and Jackie Wig-gins for their generous donation of the potatoes and onions. They are always there for us and we sincerely appreciate their generosity. I wish you all a very Happy Hannukah.

historical review and focus most closely on the contemporary situation.

P.S. The theme for the Purim shpiel this year is

the Wild, Wild West!!!!!!!!

To Our Temple Beth David Family:

As most of you are aware, our Temple depends on donations to deliver the high quality of

services to all of you. We understand that many of you are still struggling with the recent

economic downturn. However, we have come up with a way that will allow you to donate to

the Temple without spending a penny of your own money, plus you will actually save money

on many purchases that you normally make!

We would like to introduce you to Goodshop and Goodsearch. Goodshop works with more

than 5,000 stores that will provide all of you with discounts on what you normally buy and then

will donate up to 20% of the purchase price to the Temple. You will simply click on a link on

the Temple Home Page, start saving money for your family and help the Temple out as

well! We have included an easy step-by-step signup guide with this letter. Here are some

examples of companies that participate in the program:

Target, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Sears, Sak’s, Apple, Old Navy, the Gap, Amazon,

Office Depot, Petco, Staples, Dell, The Limited, Holiday Inn, Groupon, Levi’s, Lands End,

Best Buy, 1-800 Flowers, 24 Hour Fitness, and Victoria’s Secret.

These are companies that we all normally shop at, and by simply clicking on the link on the

Temple website, you will be saving money for your family and actually raising money for the

Temple. In addition, you can also save money by dining out at participating restaurants and, at

the same time, raising donations for the Temple as well. It’s simple, free and easy to use, and

the average family using the site over a year will actually raise more than $350 annually for the

Temple. Multiply that by our 300 families and we will raise more than $100,000 per year for

the Temple! This program really works. Goodshop has raised more than $11 million for

charitable organizations with this program.

Likewise, we are also rolling out Goodsearch. By doing your internet searches through

Goodsearch.com, which links with Yahoo, the Temple will receive a penny for every internet

search. If you can imagine how many internet searches you do, and your families do, this will

also add up to real money for the Temple.

We encourage all of you to participate and to help strengthen our Temple for all of us and for

the generations to come.

With best regards,

Neil Kornswiet Eric Schiffer Nancy Meyers
