CAMP JUST GOT CLOSER
SPECIAL CAMP-STYLE SERVICE
FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 7:15 PM
FEATURING TBT FAVE JOSH LEVINE
Anyone who has experienced Shabbat at a Jewish summer camp knows
that it can be one of the most dynamic, spiritual and invigorating ways to
connect with your Jewish soul. The music and fellowship combine to
remind us the fun and the joy of communing with nature and with each
other.
You don’t have to wait four months OR drive four hours! Camp is coming
to Humble! Song-leader and guitarist Josh Levine, a TBT favorite, will help
guide us into the summer. Representatives from Greene Family Camp
(GFC), the Reform Movement’s regional summer camp near Waco, will be
joining us, and some GFC campers will help lead the service. Of course, a
delicious surprise Oneg at the end will conclude an evening of surprises for
this one-of-a-kind Kid and Adult service.

RABBI’S MESSAGE
SEX, LIES AND EXECUTIONS –
Purim’s Transition from What it was to What It Is
Reader discretion advised
The Book of Esther, also known as Megliat Esther, is the story we recount on Purim. I am certain that this story,
presented as written, would NOT earn a PG rating. It begins with a drunken party, authorized and enjoyed by the king,
who demands his wife to dance before his drunk friends…and banishes her when she refuses. The heroine of the story,
Esther, lies about her identity to win the king’s favor in order to entice him into marrying her. The original text doesn’t
suggest that the selection process for a new bride was anything as tame as the “beauty contests” we talk about in the
children’s version. Because King Ahasuerus did not know his wife was Jewish, he allows his counselor Haman to
convince him to permit a decree executing the Jews. When Esther reveals her identity as a Jew, Haman is hanged on the
very gallows that was intended for Esther’s cousin Mordecai.
The actual text then describes a systematic series of killing that some might call self-defense and others might call
revenge murders. From Chapter 9:
1 Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month – Adar - when the king's commandment drew near to
be put in execution, on the very day in which the enemies of the Jews hoped to get them in their
power; the opposite happened, and the Jews had power over those that hated them; 2 the Jews
gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to
attack on those who sought to hurt them; and no one could withstand them; for the fear of them was
fallen upon all the peoples. … because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them. 4 For Mordecai
was powerful in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man
Mordecai grew greater and more powerful. 5 And the Jews smote their enemies with the sword,
slaying and destroying; they wreaked their will on their enemies. 6 And in Shushan the castle the Jews
slew and destroyed five hundred men.
Five hundred were killed for Haman’s plot, plus Haman’s ten sons. The king says to Esther, “The Jews have killed a
total of five hundred men, plus the ten sons of Haman…What is your wish now? It shall be granted.” Esther says to her
royal husband, “If it please your Majesty, let the Jews in Shushan be permitted as they did today, and let Haman’s ten
sons be impaled on the stake.” So phase 2 includes the public display of Haman’s sons and the Jews going through the
provinces killing seventy-five thousand more. And it became a day to celebrate.
Purim is the only time of the year when Jewish people actually celebrate the misfortune of others. Even on Passover, we
spill out part of wine out of respect for the suffering of the Egyptians during the plagues. Even if it were necessary to kill
75,510 people, would that be a cause for celebration?
The Book of Esther is the only book of the Hebrew Bible that does not include G-d’s name, and was also the very last
book that was chosen to be included in our sacred scriptures. For these reasons, some scholars wonder how accurate the
telling is. There are several historical references that match up with ancient Persia, and some that don’t. Regardless of
how true this story is, its celebration has taken on a dramatic transformation. It’s a party, a carnival and a dress-up day.
It’s a day for children to have fun and adults to release their inhibitions. We’re not so much celebrating Haman’s death
as we are celebrating our own survival.
Some scholars maintain that aspects of the Purim story might be, at the very least, exaggerated. One theory is that it
came about during a time period in which Jews were greatly persecuted. Hiding your identity was often important to
survive harsh oppression. We needed a heroic tale, with mortals like Esther and Mordecai to remind us that people can
step up to save the day, even during times G-d’s presence doesn’t look so obvious.
Regardless of your historical theory, Purim is different today…and it should be! We can celebrate that we no longer
need to hide who we are. We can celebrate survival. We can sing, dance, party, dress funny and eat hamantashen. For
what we are really celebrating is that we are here, we are Jewish and that in and of itself is a joy, worthy of a party.
And for those who want to revisit the gory details of the text, please add to your prayers that, the day after Purim, it will
be time to take off our masks and share with the world that we are proud to be who we are.
L’shalom,

MISSION
STATEMENT
Temple Beth Torah
is a congregation that
embraces the
philosophy and values
of Judaism
in the following ways:
Spiritually, by
celebrating the richness
and traditions of Torah,
prayer, holidays and
life cycle events;
Educationally, by
encouraging learning,
increasing Jewish
knowledge and
enriching
understanding for
children, teenagers
and adults;
Compassionately,
by caring for our
members and others in
the Jewish community
in times of need while
also fostering positive
relationships with our
non-Jewish neighbors.
Temple Beth Torah
embraces the spirit of
inclusion for Jewish
individuals and families
who represent a variety
of backgrounds and
family compositions.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
When I was preparing this message, I was also helping
to organize a visit to a local shelter for victims of
domestic violence. I thought about how everyone
benefits from doing this kind of activity- especially
what we all take away. Those with whom we spend time
learn there are many who care about them and, on a
practical level they have something to do for a few
hours on a slow afternoon. We come away with so much
more; a richer appreciation for what we have, a respect
for what it takes to leave home with your children in
order to keep them safe, what you gain and what you
have to give up in making that choice. We also get to
know specific people. Domestic violence is no longer
something that happens to a faceless person, it
happens to someone with whom I cooked a meal,
someone I talked to about their life experiences,
someone who shared what it feels to not have a home
anymore. This makes visiting FamilyTime a much more
personal and meaningful experience. It also leaves me
wanting to be more involved.
It is the responsibility of our synagogue to provide
opportunities for our members to get involved, and I am
glad we are able to offer them these experiences. I hope
that every member of our congregation takes the
opportunity to participate in social action and social
service. Our Social Action Leadership Team (SALT) is
organizing visits to FamilyTime and to Aishel House. I
invite you all to choose an activity and experience the
benefits first hand. There is nothing like connecting
with someone on a personal level to make a difference
to both of you.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL CORNER
This year is flying by. It is hard to believe that it is
almost Spring and Passover will be here soon. We will
have our model seder on Sunday, March 29 from 11:15
– 12:00. Parents are encouraged to attend with their
child. If you would like to volunteer to help set up and
serve please email Carrie at [email protected].
Bethany Berger, our ISJL fellow, taught an environment
and Judaism lesson for the Religious school in February.
All the students had a great time making terrariums.
They each were unique and interesting. This was her
last visit with us for this school year. It would be
wonderful to have her back next year. Whichever
fellow we get, they are all enthusiastic and eager to
share their expertise with our students and teachers.
Bethany also had a movie night with our youth group
while the adults enjoyed Night of Why with Rabbi Dan.
On the next day, the confirmation students did crafts
and snacks with children that are currently residing at
The Door, our area women’s shelter.
So, now it is Spring and just a few more sessions of
Religious School and Midweek Hebrew left on the
calendar. We are busy looking at schedules and
teachers for the 2015-2016 school year and also looking
forward to the ISJL Conference held each summer in
Jackson, Mississippi.

ONEG MEANS “CELEBRATE!” –
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
Every week, we invite the Friday night Shabbat
participants to enjoy “a delicious oneg in the Social
Hall.” Are we really just talking about the food?
The Hebrew word “oneg” is loosely defined as
“joyous celebration.” It’s a great time to get
together with friends, both old and new, to share
time and treats, cookies and conversation.
Sharing and preparing an oneg can also be a
joy…especially when shared with friends. If you’re
coming to Shabbat services on the evening that
you’ve volunteered to share your treats, why not
let your friends know? Then, you’ll be together,
celebrating Shabbat with dear ones, and the whole
evening will be more fun. You can invite friends to
participate with you as co-hosts, or just be there to
enjoy your offerings.
Thank you to everyone who has provided an oneg
recently. They have been delicious and a highlight
to every Shabbat. Thank you also to those who
have sponsored an oneg with your generous
donations. Preparing an oneg is a wonderful way to
celebrate a special event. It is also a way to
commemorate a yahrtzeit for a loved one. If you
would like to do an oneg, please leave a message
for Carrie Keith at 281-446-5611.
DONATIONS
Making a donation to TBT is a perfect way to honor a
joyous occasion, like a birthday, anniversary,

the time of the passing or on the yahrtzeit (anniversary)
of the passing. All donations to Temple Beth Torah are
tax deductible. You can choose where you would like
your donation to be applied.
GENERAL FUND
Any donation that is not specified to another specific
fund goes to the General Fund, which helps maintain the

well as support for the Religious School.
RABBI’S DISCRETIONARY FUND
This separate tzedakah fund enables the rabbi to make
confidential contributions to help individuals and causes
that may be in crisis. The rabbi may also use this fund to
help support unbudgeted programs that will benefit the
temple or community.
BURT LEVY MEMORIAL LIBRARY FUND
This fund maintains the library and helps purchase new
books. Our library, located in the back of the sanctuary,
is named after TBT’s founding president, Burt Levy, who
was a major inspiration in starting Temple Beth Torah.
TRACY TOBIN JOHNSON MEMORIAL EDUCATION FUND
This fund provides scholarships to Jewish summer
camps for children and for educational conferences for
teachers. It also helps support special educational
programs that are not in the general budget. The fund
honors Tracy Tobin Johnson, who was an active TBT
member, volunteer and teacher before passing away at
a young age.
TOM THERIOT MEMORIAL PROGRAM FUND
This fund supports special dynamic programs, often
related to the arts. It is named after Tom Theriot, a lover
of the arts, who was a constant presence at TBT and
supported every cause.

except for dues payments. Now there is an easy way to

March 2015 Torah Portions
Compiled by Rabbi Dan Gordon
March 6-7, 2015 Ki Tissa Exodus 30:11-34:35
This is one of the most dramatic Torah portions, which
includes the Israelites losing faith and building a Golden Calf
to worship. Moses pleads with G-d to show mercy, and then
his own anger causes him to break the tablets. Those who are
not willing to come back to the LORD are killed. But the
Torah portion includes reconciliation, as G-d instructs Moses
to construct a new set of tablets “like the first.” The first set
were written by G-d; the second by Moses, empowering a
human, and in turn, humanity, to maintain the commitment
and the covenant.
March 13-14, 2015 Vayakhel/Pekude Exodus 35:1-40:38
This double portion brings us to the end of Exodus. Vayakhel
describes the specifics of the wood and other items required in
building the tabernacle. But it begins with a reprise of the
commandment to rest on Shabbat. This teaches us that, even
a highly important task like the tabernacle is not more
important than our weekly day devoted to rest and
rejuvenation. "Pekude" means "records" and refers to the
accounting of the gold, silver, copper and yarn that were used
to make the Tabernacle. In this last portion of Exodus, the
presence of the Lord fills the Tabernacle. Traditional rabbinic
commentators have compared the building of the Tabernacle
to the creation of the world itself.
March 20-21, 2015 Vayikrah Leviticus 1:1-5:26
"Vayikrah" is both the name of the book, which in English is
translated as Leviticus, and the name of our Torah portion.
While the book contains sacrificial practices which are
completely out of date, the issue of the proper form of
atonement for modern Jews is a contemporary one. According
to some rabbinic commentators, prayer has replaced sacrifice
for the modern Jew. The description of what constitutes sin in
Leviticus demonstrates the ethical principles of our tradition.
In Judaism, each individual must take responsibility for
making amends to God: no person can sacrifice her or his life
for another's.
March 27-28, 2015 Tzav Leviticus 6:1-8:36
G-d instructs Moses to teach Aaron and his sons the rights
and duties they will take on in becoming priests. They, and
their descendants, will be the ones to offer the sacrifices in
the Sanctuary. A fire on the holy altar must be kept burning
at all times in preparation for the sacrifices. The Kohanim
(priests) must learn the variety of different offerings for
peace, sin and guilt, and practice very specific rituals
regarding each. Aaron and his sons remain in the sanctuary
compound for seven days, and Moses initiates them into the
priesthood.
March Yahrtzeits
The following names will be read each week
during March to acknowledge those who have
passed away who were connected with our
community. If there are mistakes or omissions,
please e-mail the temple at [email protected]
