Message from Rabbi Nico …

“The Heart is in the East” By Rabbi Nico Socolovsky

It is so nice to be back home…

Reading this sentence you could ask, what do you mean? Are you home when you arrive in Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv or are you home when you land in Los Angeles? It turns out that the answer is pretty easy and extremely complex… BOTH.

Yehuda HaLevi, the famous poet, philosopher and physician wrote during the Golden Age of Judaism in Spain,”My heart is in the east - but the rest of me far in the west.” HaLevi stated that he would give away all his wealth in Spain if he could only embrace the dust of Jerusalem. It is hard to remain indifferent to this level of connection to the land of Israel.

We Zionist Jews in the Diaspora live in the duality of loving and yearning for two homes. We love America and yet we love the State of Israel. The wonderful thing about this is that it is indeed possible. We can be proud Americans (in my case hold America very dear) and yet we can live a life of deep connection with the state of Israel.

A few weeks ago we read Parashat Shelach. We learned about the twelve scouts that Moshe sent to the land of Israel. Moshe instructed them to bring back a report regarding the nature of the land; its strengths and weaknesses. He also instructed them to bring back samples of the land's produce. They returned to the Machane - camp with all kinds of specimens, and with a very negative report. They conceded that the land flowed with milk and honey, but they warned that its population was mighty and the cities well fortified and impossible to conquer. Only Caleb and Joshua, disagreed. Even though they saw the same things and understood the challenges, they argued that the land was magnificent and that we were going to be able to make it!

The Torah will teach us that ten of the twelve spies died at that moment, whereas the other two - Caleb and Joshua - were chosen to lead the people into the land of Israel.

I had the opportunity to reflect on this Torah portion before and during our congregational trip to Israel. As a matter of fact, it was the portion that we read on our second week there. An interesting reflection that occupied my mind was the distinction between being in love and loving someone or something. When we are in love we often know very little, but that "very little" occupies a huge space. So a big part of what we "know" in that context is filled by our imagination and expectations. Knowledge, then, might be the projection of our desires. When we love something or somebody it is usually based on knowledge. It is almost impossible to love without knowing. Loving often means understanding the complexity of the big picture and being able, through a profound foundation, to connect with the essence. Being in love and loving, both wonderful feelings, can sometimes be confused but they are surely not the same. It is like comparing a balloon and a soccer ball. If you poke a needle in a balloon it will explode and immediately disappear. You will remain holding in your hands the debris of something which is impossible to fix. But if you poke the same needle in a soccer ball, first, it won't be so easy, but second, if you make it, it won't lose its shape; it might lose some air but it can be fixed.

The difference between the ten spies with the negative report and Joshua and Caleb, "the other two," is that the first ten went to the land of Israel "holding balloons" and Joshua and Caleb - soccer balls. So the first ten, after being poked by a nail they had nothing in their hands. But Joshua and Caleb in the face of the same situation became more resilient.

Our generation is witnessing one of the major miracles that has occurred to the Jewish people in its entire history; we have the privilege to see with our own eyes 2000 years of dreaming from the Diaspora gathering into what finally became our national home. The intensity of that miracle is so strong that sometimes, in the Diaspora, we are afraid to get closer. We are afraid to discover that Israel isn't perfect. We prefer to hold to the idealization rather than embrace it with its imperfections... We prefer being in love because loving means knowing and knowing is sometimes frightening. The Diaspora has a role in the continuity of the state of Israel and we can't allow ourselves to live in the fragility of the idealization; we need to commit to the strength of knowing deeply, seeing the big picture, connecting to the essence...

As a Rabbi I feel extremely blessed and thankful that I had the opportunity to share with twenty members of my Shul two weeks in the land of Israel. To literally live in the miracle.

I hope that we came back holding "balls" and not balloons. I hope that while enchanted we came back knowing more and loving deeply. L'shana Haba'a B'Yerushalaim - The Next Year in Jerusalem Rabbi Nico

FROM ME TO YOU by Henry Cohen, TBT President

“WE MISSED YOU” I am here in Israel but the Temple Beth Tikvah “Amazing Israel Tour” has returned home to California. I will be attending the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Community Leadership Program Summer Retreat till the 28th. But the real news is: We Missed You and you missed one amazing group of Jewish experiences ……… Nico style. We missed you because only your presence with our TBT community in Israel could have made it better for us. The days were filled with every kind of Jewish experience. History, geology, water treatment, religion (not just Jewish), sociology, politics, social services, Israel Defense Forces, kibbutz life, agriculture, camel riding, medical technology, etc. etc. My expectations were realistic, given the many trips I had taken to Israel, organized by the best mission planners in the world. But, I never expected the quality content, the amazing venues, the personal Israel contacts that Rabbi Nico arranged for us. From scholarly presentations to heartbreaking Holocaust stories at Yad Vashem (with the best docent I have ever met) we had it all, morning till night, even on Shabbat. And did I mention food? Do I have to tell you about our Rabbi’s passion and quest of the best hummus? It never ended. Our Amazing Israel community will be getting together soon to share stories and relive the experience. We became fast friends. I hope you will join us and start planning to be with us for the next big thing in Israel or anywhere else our TBT family gets together, even in Fullerton, California. ******************************************

BBQ SHABBAT DINNER

TBT SHOAH SURVIVORS HONORED TBT Shoah survivors Peter Dirnbach and Dora Cohen were recently honored by Assembly Member Sharon Quirk-Silva at a Shabbat morning service hosted by Temple Beth Emet in Anaheim. “It is vital that we never forget that dark chapter … when we struggle against oppression and injustice,” said Quirk-Silva. As a teacher, we shall continue to educate the next generation about the Holocaust. The survivors we honor give us hope from the consequences of intolerance, and vision of a brighter tomorrow. The courage, fortitude, and dignity that survivors and their families have displayed in spite of tragedy are truly inspirational.”

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & COMMUNICATON

By Miriam Van Raalte

There is a commercial advertising the California lottery that starts out, “It was a day like any other day … until it wasn’t.”

And it ends with the words, “Believe in something bigger.” Those two phrases put into focus the way I define my work here at TBT. When I pull out of my driveway in the morning, I often review in my mind the various projects that I know await me when I sit down at my desk. And yet, what you think may be “just another day” most of the time isn’t. For instance, on the day I am writing this article, I anticipated that I would accomplish certain tasks that I had left from the previous week. As the day unfolded, I met with a member who will be traveling to Israel and needed help with some special needs. I then had a conversation with another member who stopped in to talk about a Bar Mitzvah for his son. Then there was a friend of the congregation who had two family members with medical situations who I called. I then chatted with one of our TBT musicians about the upcoming Shabbat services, after which I coordinated the Torah chanting for the coming week. I mention these pieces of my day because no two days of TBT are ever alike. In my role as “engagement” and “communication,” I hope that I am able to make an impact on the individual lives of our members as well as what TBT stands for as an extended family. When my parents joined the congregation in 1966, they quickly realized that the future of the Jewish community in North Orange County was in their hands. They wanted to assure that there would be a place for their children and future generations where we could find an expression of our Judaism. By becoming active, joining committees, serving on the Board of Directors, and attending services, educational events, and social gatherings, they set the stage for my sister and me to inherit their love of Judaism and synagogue life. The 21st Century provides us with unique challenges to draw Jews towards formal institutions like TBT. There is a limited amount of time to devote to Temple life considering the long work day/week, extra-curricular activities of children, and our homes that need attention to maintain. A recent study shows that the average American spends up to nine hours a day on social media. Granted, that time is often combined with other activities. Yet, I would venture to say that if my parents had had the technology back in the 60’s and had spent that kind of time in front of a computer screen (or mobile device), TBT would not have gotten he tender loving care by those who provided the foundation for this thriving Jewish congregation. As I go through my days, I dedicate my work to all of those who share the vision of a vibrant Jewish community. And as the lottery commercial concludes, I too believe that TBT can be “something bigger.” There will always be ways to dream about what we can be while we nurture what were in the past and what we are now. I hope you will join me as we engage with each other and color our Jewish lives.

TORAH READERS – WE WANT YOU!

We have started a new small group (a “Community of Practice”) based on those who would like to chant Torah on Shabbat morning. Each week we need 4 Torah readers. Each aliyah is approximately three verses. We have grown to a group of Torah readers! You can sign up for any Torah portion and we can help you with the reading & chanting.

It is amazing to hear these volunteers prepare for their chance to chant Torah. Yes, it takes practice, but there is such pride when they have chanted from our Torah scrolls.

Just call Miriam Van Raalte at the TBT office (714/871-3535) to sign up. We look forward to enlarging our list of chanters – hope you’ll be a part of this group!

ECLC UPDATE By Rachel White, Assistant Director

It has been a wonderful year at ECLC! We have welcomed new children and families to our community, redesigned our beautiful outdoor space and strengthened our understanding of Jewish values. Together we learned about our Jewish traditions and celebrated Hanukkah, Purim, Yom Ha’atzmaut, and Shabbat. On Thursday, June 22nd, we celebrate the end of the year with our Preschool Promotion and Pre-K Graduation Ceremony in the TBT Sanctuary. It is a bittersweet time of the year as we say farewell to all of our children who will be moving on the Kindergarten in the fall, but also recognize the achievements of those who will be moving into their next class at ECLC. So it is with heartfelt pride that we say: Congratulations to the 2017 ECLC Graduates!

Looking ahead, the 2017 Summer Program at ECLC begins on Wednesday, June 28th. This year we are offering a “Pageant of the Masters” Art Camp.

Children will join us as we engage in a summer study of some of the great artists from the contemporary and classical art movements throughout history. Each week we will learn about a new artist and the art movement that they influenced. Together, we will explore different art mediums, techniques, and practice proper care of art equipment. At the end of the summer, we will showcase our work with a “Pageant of the Masters” Art Exhibit. This promises to be a messy, fun, and educational summer!

TBT recently made a donation to the US Supporters of the Lone Soldier Center … here is a letter received in thanks.

Dear Temple Beth Tikvah,

Thank you for your generous donation. With your support, the US Supporters of the Lone Soldier Center in memory of Michael Levin helps thousands of lone soldiers every year – young men and women who leave their family and friends to come to Israel to serve in the IDF and protect the State of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide.

The Center is “a home away from home” and provides guidance and counseling, Shabbat and holiday meals, a strong community and housing to lone soldiers thousands of miles away from home. Your support will enable to us to food, assist and nurture the defenders of Israel and ensure that they can be successful in their mission.

The Lone Soldier Center fulfills the dream of Michael Levin, a lone soldier from Philadelphia who fell in battle during the Second Lebanon War. Michael wanted a place where lone soldiers could look to for guidance and community before, during and after the course of their service. Your gift … perpetuates the realization of that dream.

Brian R Lurie, President

Chaverim of the Lone Soldier Center in Memory of Michael Levin

PS – We hope that on your next visit to Israel you will visit the Lone Soldier Center. We would love to say hello and show you in person how your contribution makes a difference in the lives of Lone Soldiers!
