The Shofar
You don’t have to be religious ...
I came across an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times on March 14 by Michael Douglas, the subject being anti-Semitism, a topic I covered a couple of months ago. You can read the article at length at
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-0315-douglas-anti-semitism-20150315-story.html
but thought it interesting enough that I wanted to share the highlights with you.
In the op-ed, he discusses an event with his son, Dylan, while their family was vacationing in Southern Europe. Dylan had gone to the pool, but came back to the room early and upset. Mr. Douglas
quickly identified the issue of his son being verbally attacked at the pool because he was wearing
a Star of David (Mogen David). Mr. Douglas acknowledged that he was not brought up in a religious home, one parent being Jewish and one not; he is raising his two children under the same
circumstances. On the other hand, he states, “While some Jews believe that not having a Jewish
mother makes me not Jewish, I have learned the hard way that those who hate do not make such
fine distinctions .”
I never saw Michael Douglas as being a Jewish leader (not sure I have changed my mind even
though he received the 2015 Genesis Prize, which honors "exceptional people whose values and
achievements will inspire the next generation of Jews.") Nonetheless, his story resonated with me.
You don’t have to be religious to be thought of as being part of a religion; we all get lumped into
the category of being Jewish, religious or not. I am sure that many of the Jews killed during the
Holocaust were not religious, but they were Jewish.
He cites three reasons he believes that anti-Semitism is re-appearing more prominently than in recent years: the economy; a hatred of Israel; and Moslem demographics and its extremism combined with the internet. The focus of the op-ed is that speaking up against anti-Semitism is the responsibility of our political and religious leaders and cites several examples of such leadership.
But he also states that it is the responsibility of regular citizens to speak out against this hatred.
“So that is our challenge in 2015, and all of us must take it up. Because if we confront antiSemitism whenever we see it, if we combat it individually and as a society, and use whatever platform we have to denounce it, we can stop the spread of this madness.”

President’s Message
As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers” - the beginning of a
new year of growth in nature. We see nature turning green and sprouting
flowers of every hue and shape.
This is also true at Temple Oseh Shalom. May is the start of a new year of
growth of the Temple (and each one of us). As I start my third term as President of TOS, I pledge that I will devote myself to being available to anyone
with a problem, a question, or a new idea for the Temple. I will dedicate my
efforts to the expansion and development of Temple activities and outreach,
and I commit myself to embracing the words and directives written in the
precious gift of the Torah.
This month we celebrate the greatest gift of all, the holiday of Shavuot. On
that day we celebrate G-D’s gift of the Torah and his pledge of devotion to
the Jewish people. I ask you to remember the essence of Shavuot and celebrate being a Jew, appreciate the gift of the Torah, and be grateful for all of
the many blessings in your life.
LET’S ALL CELEBRATE!

Men’s Club
The Men’s Club is holding its annual Induction Brunch on Sunday, May 17,
at The Haven at 11:00 am. It will be a catered affair for “guys and gals”
with plenty of tasty edibles. Entertainment and door prizes are included in
the event. It should be an enjoyable brunch.
We are trying to put together “A Night with the Sand Gnats” for July. Watch
your e-mails for more information.

Ritual
Events in May
Our visiting rabbi on May 15 and 16 is Rabbi Ken Kanter, about whom
there is not much left unsaid. Attendance at Rabbi Ken’s Friday night
services testify to the satisfaction and sense of fulfillment that we all
derive from hearing him. Based on past experience, on Saturday morning he will be informative and entertaining, whatever his topic. Please
plan to attend both; 7:30 PM on Friday and 10:00 AM on Saturday.
On May 17, we will hold the Temple Oseh Shalom General Meeting at
the Lowcountry Presbyterian Church at 3 pm. Topics to be covered include the election and installation of the 2015 – 2016 Officers and Directors, the annual budget, and the results of the recent survey of your
opinions about the conduct of services and other Temple activities.
Events in June
On June 5 and 6, the rabbi conducting Friday services and the Saturday
education program will be Rabbi Jo David. Rabbi David is a candidate
for our “full-time” rabbi, and it is important that you get to know her as
much as possible based on the service she will lead and also from the
Saturday morning session when she will respond to your questions
about her rabbinic style and preferences.
On June 19 and 20, our rabbi will be Rabbi Ben Romer, who also is a
candidate for our “full-time” rabbi position. Again, it is important that
you get to know Rabbi Romer as much as possible in the same ways as
Rabbi David, so please plan on attending on both dates. On Saturday,
you can ask the same questions that were asked of Rabbi David.
The Rabbi Search Committee will again ask your opinion of each rabbi
after each of these weekends, and also will ask if you have a preference
about the next step. It is therefore very important that you see Rabbi
David and Rabbi Romer, even if you saw them before, and that you complete the surveys about them.
That’s how you get a voice in what happens!

Upcoming
Sisterhood
Events
It’s hard to believe that my two years as Sisterhood President are over. It’s
been an honor to hold that position and I want to thank all of you for the
trust you placed in me. It certainly has been a very fulfilling and gratifying
experience. The Sisterhood Board is filled with women who are extremely
focused and dedicated to providing you with interesting and fun programs
while raising funds for the Temple and local charities.
I want to thank the entire Board for their hard work, dedication, and support.
We should all be proud of their efforts and thankful for their involvement. I
would thank each of them individually, but I’m afraid to miss someone!
With your amazing support we were able to be very generous this year. We
donated $4500 to the Temple, some of which will be used to repair our Torahs. We also made donations to the following local charities: Bluffton Self
Help, CODA, Back Pack Buddies, Heroes on Horseback, and Family Promise.
In addition, we’re donating a chapter book to each 2nd grader moving up to
3rd grade in four Bluffton elementary schools. We also made a donation to
the Anti-Defamation League to help combat Anti-Semitism both here and
abroad.
We’re very excited about our newest Outreach project this year: a scholarship of $1000 to a graduating senior who not only excelled scholastically,
but also was involved in community service.
As we end this Sisterhood year, and begin another, I want to congratulate
Marcia Meyers and her new Board on their willingness to serve. I know
they’ll do a great job to continue our legacy. I encourage all of you to get involved and help so that we may continue to have a vibrant Sisterhood.
B'shalom,
Terrie Weintraub, Sisterhood President

Temple Book Club
I would like to thank Sue Gassner for the wonderful job she did in leading our discussion of
THOSE WHO SAVE US by Jenna Blum, and for opening her home to the group. The book was
terrific and so was the conversation that ensued.
Elaine Roth, 14 Rain Lily Lane, will be our facilitator for AND SO IT WAS WRITTEN by Ellen
Brazer on June 11. Meet two sets of brothers, one Roman and one Jewish. Travel back in
time to the year 132 CE, as the Romans prepare to reclaim Israel. Please join us for this
journey.

Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. (Janet Cargotch)
Temple Film Club
The Temple Oseh Shalom Film Club will show its final movie of the season on Sunday, May
10, at the Fellowship Hall. Yes—we know it’s Mother’s day, but since we meet at 3PM, we
feel this will make a lovely day for all Temple mothers. Just think, brunch followed by the
movie, or the movie followed by dinner.
Our movie this month is ZAYTOUN (meaning OLIVE in Arabic). Zaytoun takes place in a war
torn Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon during the 1982 conflict. A downed Israeli fighter
pilot (Yoni—played by Stephen Dorff) and a toughened teen-age Palestinian boy (Fahed—
played by Abdallah El Akal) form a tenuous “deal” to help each other. Come see how they
overcome mutual antagonism and suspicion.
The Film Committee wants to thank our Congregants for being strong supporters of our film
showings. We will take a summer hiatus and resume after the High Holidays. We promise
to continue showing entertaining and thought provoking films with Jewish themes. (Jackie
Katz)

Ten Again
A man asks his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?"
She answers, "I'd love to be ten again."
So on the morning of her birthday, he gets her up bright and early and off
they go to the local Theme Park. What a day! He puts her on every ride in
the park, the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear...everything
there is! Wow!
She staggers out of the Theme Park five hours later, her head reeling and
her stomach upside down. Right into McDonald's they go, and her husband
orders a Double Big Mac for her along with extra fries and a refreshing
strawberry shake. Then off to a movie with hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi Cola,
and m & m’s. What a fabulous adventure! Finally, she wobbles home with
her husband and collapses into bed.
He leans over lovingly and asks, "Well, dear, what was it like being ten
again?"
One eye opens and she groans, "Idiot - I meant dress size."
ETERNAL TREE OF LIFE
These last few months have brought sadness to many of our congregants as loved ones have passed away. All our sympathy and prayers
have been with them during funerals and shivas. As an aging community,
it is unfortunate, but true, that the future will hold sad times for many of
our congregants. Temple Oseh Shalom continues to add leaves to its Tree
of Eternal Life. The Tree of Eternal Life is mounted on the side of the Temple Ark. This is a wonderful way to memorialize loved ones.
The form is in the back of the Shofar or you can contact Larry Katz at 7055765. Each leaf costs $100.

An Easier Link to the TOS Amazon Site
I have mentioned in the past how easy it is to support the Temple when you
buy from Amazon. Temple Oseh Shalom receives a percentage of the sale
price for all items purchased by our members through one of our links located on our website – www.templeosehshalom.org
But Jeff Glazer has made it even easier. He has created a link that will take
people directly to our access page at Amazon.com and should be easier to
use. Simply go to amazon.templeosehshalom.org – bookmark this link or
write it down somewhere. It is really a no-brainer to use this link when you
buy from Amazon. Just remember:
