“
Four children, four Jews coming from
different places.
Philip S. Scheim
The Haggadah of Pesah
represents the bringing
together of divergent points of
view. One of its most beloved
sections is The Four Children,
in which sages of the Mishnaic
period take the four verses
in the Torah that anticipate a
child questioning the Passover
ritual, and fashion each verse
as representing a different
child-type. Thus, “when
tomorrow your child asks you,
what are these laws, statutes
and ordinances which God has
commanded you all about (Deut.
6:20)?” becomes the question
of the wise child. “What is all
this service to you (Ex. 12:26)?” is
attributed to the wicked child.”
“What is this (Ex. 13:14)?” is the
question of the simple child,
and finally, the fourth instance
of an anticipated question
where only an answer, “You
shall tell your child (Ex. 13:8),”
and no question appears, is
attributed to the child unable
to ask.
As you know each of these
questions receives its own
answer in the Haggadah,
ostensibly an answer
appropriate to the intellectual
or moral status of the child in
question. The wise child is told
to go study the halakhot, the
laws of Pesah, and the simple
child is told that the reason for
all the ritual of Pesah is that
God freed us from Egypt. Thus
the wise child, because of his
academic capabilities, is told
Rabbi
to further his learning, while
the child of lesser intelligence
is offered a more simplistic
explanation.
Four children, four Jews
coming from different places.
Can we not say that each
one, in his or her own way,
has something to offer the
discussion, something to say
of value, something to teach
us? The beauty of the Seder is
in its gathering together Jews
of divergent backgrounds, of
differing levels of knowledge
and understanding, and
enabling those four children,
those four Jews, to be seated
at the same table! Even the
so-called rasha, the wicked
child, in a sense is deemed
rasha tongue-in-cheek, for,
were he or she really wicked,
he or she would not be at the
table, would not remain part
of the family, the community.
He is more bandit than
rasha, mischievous perhaps,
somewhat hutzpadik, but
still, in most cases perhaps,
deserving of love and a
continued presence at the Yom
Tov table.
Sociologists tell us that the
Passover Seder is one of the
most widely-observed Jewish
rituals. Most Jews attend at
least one Seder each year.
Obviously, there is a great
variation of Seder experiences;
some in which not a single
syllable of the Haggadah is
omitted, others, where little
else than a meal takes place.
But as the four children of
the text remind us, diversity
is central to the Seder – and
we are thankful for every Jew
who feels called upon to make
an appearance at an event
linked to our traditions and our
identity.
5775 Pesach Window 2015
From the Rabbi
But where there can be coexistence, where Jews of
diverse practice can sit at the
same table, recognizing and
respecting their differences
while emphasizing their shared
values and goals, breaking up
that table would represent
unnecessary tragedy, too
much fragmentation in an
already over-fragmented
people.
“The Torah speaks of four
children,” we are told, brought
to life in our Haggadah of
Pesah. We are blessed with a
multiplicity of personalities, of
opinions, of understandings
of the issues that keep us
awake at night. Our willingness
to learn from others, to
seriously consider opinions
divergent from our own, to
listen carefully to all those who
choose to sit around our Seder
table, our willingness to do all
this, makes us worthy of the
freedom we so enjoy, that we
celebrate this holy season.

This corner is for those who would like to read Torah or a Haftarah in general, but
also especially for anyone who might like to mark the anniversary of their Bar/Bat
Mitzvah celebration or Wedding Aufruf by reading from the same portion chanted
on that special occasion. You will find here a list of coming Shabbatot & Festivals
when there is no Simcha taking place at our Synagogue, meaning the Haftarah
and any Torah reading is open to our members. If you are interested, please contact
Michael Rubin directly by email – [email protected] – and confirm your chanting
assignment!
Also, we would like to update our records of when your Bar/Bat Mitzvah took place.
Please email Michael Rubin with details – Gregorian date and Parashah. We look

Sisterhood has had a busy time in the last few months.
As Pesah approaches most of us
are preparing to enjoy the holiday
with family and friends. Last year
I posted the recipe for my family’s
favourite apple cake. This year
I decided on lasagna that you
would never know was made with
matzah!

Sisterhood has had a busy time
in the last few months. Sheila
Frohlich conducted a cooking
demonstration of sufganyot. They
were delicious! You could dunk the
donuts in chocolate, sprinkles, icing
sugar or caramel. I am sure we all
put a few pounds on that evening.
We also listened to an interesting
update on cancer research from
Dr. Jennifer Alami, a biomedical
research consultant.
In March, in a joint programme
with Brotherhood, we hosted our
annual wine tasting, focusing on
some Israeli wines. We were be
able to purchase what we needed
for Pesah.
Looking forward, Sisterhood
Shabbat will be in May. We will
keep you updated about the
speaker and date.
International Northeast Region will
be having its regional convention
in Syracuse New York on April
26th and 27th. We hope to send
quite a few women to this special
bi-annual event.
Keep coming to our programs, and
bring your ideas to the table.
Parmesan cheese
1 jar tomato sauce
Milk as needed
Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: fried mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farhenheit. In a bowl,

I would like to welcome the newly formed board for our
specific committee as we are in full swing for 2015 .
It is unbelievable that we have arrived at
Passover finally, after our deep freeze this winter!
The Youth and Families Committee and our
fabulous Youth Director have been working all
winter long. I am certain everyone has enjoyed
all our events such as our Hanukkah party last
December where Sonshine and Broccoli dazzled
us with great songs! Our committee participated
in the Shabbat Unplugged event where all
families enjoyed board games and playing sports
with Mark Hendry and Ishai. Our USY /Kadima
kids were busy with snow tubing, slumber
party here at the shul and of course the sleep
over at the Science Centre! We also hosted a
fabulous and much loved author, Barbara Reid
who talked about her books and illustrations.
Big kids and the little ones all lined up to have
their books autographed. The workshop on
plasticene brought out the artist in everyone
who participated.
This year as always Purim was organized chaos.
We featured inflatables, carnival games, crafts,
loot bags, hamentashen and more. And of
course our gourmet bbq hotdogs! As always our
annual awesome thanks to Adele Goldberg who
chaired the event and Simmi Toby our Youth
Director. The Purim Carnival
was fantastic and we were
so delighted that we saw so
many of you there!
Please keep an eye out
for many more upcoming
programs that our Youth
Director is working at
diligently.The Window has
Friday, May
flyers for all our upcoming
events such as the Mitzvah
Project with Simmi, Yom
Hazikron , Yom Hashoah
and our celebration of
Yom Haatzmaut with our

so much fun every Shabbat . We have Simmi,
Sharon, and Alana creating great programs for
the kids! Let’s not forget Pray n' Play with Hailey
for our youngest members. Every Shabbat there
are games, stories and snacks.
We have an exciting new twist to our committee.
I would like to welcome the newly formed board
for our specific committee as we are in full swing
for 2015 . Past Chair – Adele Goldberg, Chair
-Carla Affe- Bienstock, Secretary- Brenda Osler,
Treasurer- Nava Blankenstein, Liaison for Youth
programming (Kadima and USY) - Judy Steiner,
Liaison for Junior Congregation - Avital Stopnicki.
These roles will allow us to effectively liaise with
our Youth Director, Shul staff and the Clergy.
We hope that this structure will enable us to run
exciting, innovative and engaging programming
for all the families at Beth David. We would love
to have more volunteers to come and join our
committee. Suggestions and ideas are always
welcome!

As the outside temperatures warm up, we have several
upcoming and exciting programs to entertain our
audiences..

As I write this insert, I am
shivering through the coldest
temperatures we have seen
in a number of years. Spring is
almost here and I want all male
members of our synagogue
to know that joining Beth
David Brotherhood will warm
you inside. While this may
sound like a cliché or even a
contrived marketing phrase,
warm feelings are what you will
receive when attending and
participating in Brotherhood
events and programs. Over the
past year our very successful
and entertaining programs have
shown steady and increased
attendance and participation.
On December 7, 2014, we
presented “A Magic Afternoon
with Fish the Magish”. Fish
charmed an overflow crowd
of seniors, adults, young
adults, children and toddlers
and everyone left not only
thoroughly entertained but
wanting more. Our January and
February 2015 presentations
were held in association with
the innovative “Beth David
Celebrates Israel” program.
In January 2015, Lance Davis,
Executive Director of JNF
Toronto, provided a large crowd
with an enthusiastic update
of JNF’s efforts in Israel both
past, present and future. All
those in attendance left with an
increased interest and desire to
visit Israel. I want to thank our
active Programming committee
for continuing to present
interesting and entertaining
programs. I especially want to
single out a new member of
our programming committee
– Steven Baker - who was
responsible for organizing the
December 2014 and January
2015 programs. Steven’s
diligence, organizational skills
President
and strong feelings about Israel,
led to very successful programs
both in content and turnout.
Our annual World Wide Wrap
program, organized by our
extremely capable World Wide
Wrap Chairman – Aaron Daniels
– was very well attended and
received. Dr. Aaron Nussbaum,
a noted scholar, spoke to the
history of tefillin in Israel and the
Diaspora.
Our annual Shoah Candle
program has begun and will
continue until Yom Hashoah
which begins on the evening
of April 15, 2015. Shoah candles
are now available to everyone
and can be obtained from the
table kiosk in the synagogue
lobby, from Motzei Shabbat to
Erev Shabbat each week. Please
join us by participating in this
very distinctive program, which
encourages our present and
future generations to honour
and remember the millions
of lives that were tragically
destroyed during the Shoah.
A portion of Shoah candle
proceeds is given to support
Magen David Adom in Israel,
which provides emergency
medical services and saves lives
in Israel every day.
As the outside temperatures
warm up, we have several
upcoming and exciting
programs to entertain our
audiences. This year's theme
for our annual Brotherhood
Shabbat, to be held on
March 28, 2015, is “March of the
Living”. We not only have an
exceptional speaker on Shabbat
morning and a special Kiddush
but we will have an interactive
roundtable brunch program
on Sunday March 29, 2015,
featuring numerous participants
of past March of the Living
missions, sharing their stories
and experiences. Please come
out and participate during this
unique weekend.
5775 Pesach Window 2015
Brotherhood
In April 2015 we are planning on
having a speaker discuss current
political developments in
Israel as part of our continuing
joint programming with the
“Beth David Celebrates Israel”
committee. On Sunday May 10,
2015, we will be presenting a
Musical Mother’s Day brunch.
Details for these events will
follow in your weekly Shabbat
Shalom.
On Sunday June 7, 2015, we
have our annual visit to the
Rogers Center to cheer on
our Blue Jays, who this year
are a realistic contender for
the playoffs. Our past three
annual visits produced three
Blue Jay victories so please join
us this year for win number
four. Tickets for this event are
very popular and last year we
sold out. Please contact Peter
Reynolds, Richard Long or
myself for tickets as early as
possible.
I want to extend a thank
you to Faye Major, Helene
Jacobs, Thanuja Perera, Robyn
Zajac-Cooper, Jeev Logan and
Cari Kozierok Bahar, for all their
assistance in ensuring all our
Brotherhood programs have
been, are and will continue to be
successful.
On behalf of the Risenman
family, I want to wish everyone
a Happy and Kosher Pesach.

By Mikl o s Em he cht
If I Leave
The Injustice
Many people in life work very
hard in vain
without earning rewards and
they never complain.
Nature often imitates
our daily life.
The caterpillar works very hard
nights and days;
the butterfly will get the
publicity and
the praise..
If I ever go, as everyone will one day,
I’ll say farewell like a man who’s getting away
from prison, and smiles at the coming freedom;
or as a south-bound bird, before he starts to fly,
will, for the pale, fading sun, trill his last good bye.
5775 Pesach Window 2015
Micky’s Corner
Maybe I won’t have to say too much when I leave;
not too many knew me, not too many will grieve.
I’ve just been a petal falling in the mud;
a work that had no echo, or maybe a sigh
that was sent to the stars, but never reached the sky.
I have helped a few who happened to come along.
I had a few good words, and here and there a song.
The song is what stays important, not the bard.
When time will come, my good friend, the scythe-holder
will shed a tear when he taps me on the shoulder.
