Pilavin ome of you ask what we study Wednesday mornings at Levy’s. Scott Levy recently sold his restaurant to Avigdor Abramov. I would like to thank Scott publicly for 11 years of gracious hospitality to our class. The new restaurant is called Capri Kosher Italian Cuisine. It remains at the same address and phone number. Visit http://www.caprikosher.com/. And we continue to meet there every Wednesday at 10 AM and finish just before noon – often to enjoy a delicious lunch. At times, pizza pies are ordered for the group by a member of the class marking a happy milestone. What do we study? Usually we explore an interesting theme in that week’s Torah reading. Of late, we have gravitated towards late-breaking news items that are illuminated by the Torah portion. For example: A prominent DC rabbi was arrested on Sukkot on charges of voyeurism (he allegedly spied on women in the mikveh next to his shul). At our next class, we studied Genesis 9:18-29, in which Ham “views the nakedness” of his father Noah shortly after the family emerged from the Ark. We debated “The Death of Klinghoffer,” an American opera based on the 1985 hijacking of passenger liner Achille Lauro by the Palestine S Liberation Front and the hijackers’ murder of an elderly wheelchair-bound Jew named Leon Klinghoffer. Was the opera fair to the facts or did it create a false moral equivalency between Jewish and Palestinian claims (thus “justifying” Klinghoffer’s murder)? Do “artists” have unlimited license – or is Art at times a form of “blasphemy” which Jews are required to protest? The birth of my second grandson Shai Calev inspired our next session on “bris controversies” – the critics of the practice of circumcision in general and of one form of it (metzizah b’peh) in particular. Brittany Maynard was a 29-yearold terminally ill cancer patient who attracted national attention with her decision to end her life on November 1. Do we have a “right” to die? If so, may others assist us? We explored the Jewish sources on euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Future topics may include: the Conversion Crisis in Israel and the Diaspora, the first anniversary of the (in)famous Pew Study of American Jews, Jon Stewart’s problem with his Jewish “brethren” and much more. Why not join us? Even the not-yet-retired who work locally are often able to expand their “lunch hour” once a week so that they can participate. In the spirit of Chanukah, let’s (re)dedicate ourselves to Torah study! Thank you to all those who gave of their time and helped paint the custodian’s house.

Participants will determine at a later date whether class will be held on December 24 and 31. A brief Torah lesson (5-10 minutes) takes place at the end of the weekday evening minyan, which begins at 8:30PM. We just finished a Beginner’s Class in Hebrew Reading on Monday nights. We envision a “follow-up” class soon that will allow us to practice the prayers and songs of Chanukah, which begins December 16. RITUAL ODDS AND ENDS On Thursday night December 5 we begin adding the prayer for rain (v’ten tal umatar). Chanukah begins Tuesday night December 16. The blessings are: 1) Barukh Atah...Melekh Ha-olam Asher Kidshanu B’Mitzvotav VeTzivanu Le-hadlik Ner Shel Chanukah 2) Barukh Atah...Melekh Ha-olam She-Asah Nissim La-avoteinu, Ba-yamim Ha-heim Baz’man Hazeh 3) Barukh Atah...Melekh Ha-olam She-hecheyanu Vekiy’manu Ve-Higi’anu Laz’man Ha-Zeh (First Night Only) January 1 is Asarah B’Tevet – a fast day. OUR NEW PRAYER BOOKS Many of you are aware that we have had new siddurim for the past two months. The new Koren-Sacks siddur has many wonderful features, among them: Rabbi Sacks’ 33-page introduction (“Understanding Jewish Prayer”) is as inspiring as it is informative. The English translation is clearer and easier to compare with the Hebrew original. The layout of each page is more pleasing to the eye. Unlike other siddurim, Koren-Sacks includes the insights of many scholars: right-wing (haredi) Orthodox, modern Orthodox and non-Orthodox. The State of Israel is virtually non-existent in many siddurim. Koren-Sacks includes prayers for Israel Independence Day, Israel Memorial Day and Jerusalem Day, and instructions for what prayers are said in Israel. Koren-Sacks is inclusive of women. There are prayers for the birth of a daughter and prayers recited by women returning to shul after giving birth. The siddur notes that women dining in groups of three or more should say the “zimmun” invitation to Grace After Meals (a.k.a. “Rabbotai Nevarech”). Rabbi Sacks points out that the ultimate purpose of praying is that we leave the synagogue “seeing ourselves and the universe differently, freshly conscious that the world is God’s work, the Torah God’s word, our fellow believers God’s children, and our fellow human beings God’s image.” Rabbi Sacks would surely encourage us to support the shul daily minyan (8:30 PM Sunday-Thursday) and morning minyan (8:30 AM Sunday, 7:15 AM Monday-Friday). Pick one night a week and come regularly. Or come every evening in the week when you observe yahrzeit. We thank our Siddur sponsors: the Ellis family (in loving memory of Behira Ellis), the Men’s Club and the Sisterhood. WWW.SONSOFISRAEL.COM 5 Fundraising News Koren Siddurim for Shabbat and Holidays We are pleased to announce new donations by our Sisterhood and 0HQ·V&OXE to purchase 200 additional Koren siddurim, completing our collection. This means that those in attendance at Shabbat services will benefit from these extraordinary prayer books. We thank these important divisions of our congregation for their generosity, dedication and attentiveness to the religious life and enrichment of our synagogue. Please consider dedicating one of these new siddurim in honor of a friend or family member, to mark any special occasion or milestone. ___________________ 7KH6LVWHUKRRGDQG0HQ·V&OXEDUHNH\VWDNHKROGHUVZLWKLQWKH Congregation Sons of Israel family.

WWW.SONSOFISRAEL.COM 9 10 the VOICE • 9 KISLEV - 9 TEVET 5775 sisterhood news By Barbara Zagha and Bonnie Leff day to celebrate one of our own: November 16th we came together to honor Michelle Fields at our annual Woman of Valor breakfast. It was a wonderful morning to pay tribute to Michelle’s volunteerism and to learn more about the projects she has worked on, her professional life, and of course her family. In dedicating that morning to Michelle we set a high bar for our Sisterhood members. We hope to honor one of our own each year at this special event. Committee work is the key to every organization, and we want to especially recognize Nancy Bolotsky, Vickie Amron and their committee of “wonder women” that made the Woman of Valor event a beautiful memory for our congregation. Our mission as a Sisterhood is to promote the welfare of the Jewish community, at home and globally through social, financial and benevolent activities. One amazing result of our hard work the last two years is how our web of volunteers has grown. Now when we come to an event, or see it coming together in the background or review a list of helpers, we find new names joining in to make the program a success. If you are one of those members, we embrace your efforts and thank you for joining our ranks of providing our congregation with diverse and interesting A programming. Book Chat with Jane Goldstein is always a lovely evening where we share a bit of our lives. The novel is our springboard, and therein begins the discussion of themes and character we have shared. In November we discussed “The Invention of Wings” by Sue Monk Kidd and learned that the book was actually based on real people in history. On February 9th consider joining us at 7:15 p.m. for our upcoming choice, “The Interestings”, by Meg Wolitzer. Get your dancing feet ready for a return of Speed Limit. A night of Rock ’n Roll will take place on Saturday evening December 13th in the Mishan Hall; entry is $18 per person. Anyone who was there last year will surely be on hand to repeat a fun night with friends and community. And….one final note. On November 8th on Shabbos morning we were privileged to give Pauline Froster an honor. For the very first time, a woman made Kiddush for the congregation before we forayed into the social hall. Pauline was celebrating her birthday with her family and they sponsored lunch in her honor. It was a very special moment in Congregation Sons of Israel history, and we hope it will be repeated many times to come.
