Take a
Vineyard Tour

with isjl
Get in the Game on Super Sunday!
From the Shlicha
Lately, I have been going around the community. I’ve met a
few people who’ve told me that Israel has become a subject that
folks are tired of. They have heard too many speakers presenting the same stories, and so enough, we’re programmed out.
Is that true? Is Israel a significant part of this community? Is
Israel part of dinner conversations? Do people think about Israel, care about her, and relate to her? In other words, is Israel
a part of the identity of the Jewish community of Tulsa?
A wise man whom I met recently took this further and
asked: Should Israel be part of the identity of the Jewish community?
I have my thoughts, but I am not in the position to talk
about the identity of the entire community. At least not yet.
I’m happy, however, to talk about personal identity. Identity
is first and foremost a personal matter. Identity is the form
through which we each define ourselves. It is the answer to the
big question: who am I? I believe that building self identity is
the basis for our personality. The ability to say truthfully “this
is who I am” is a virtue. The ability to say that, not by comparing ourselves to others, not out of bashfulness or pride, is what
makes us present, stronger and richer people. I believe that
building identity is not a one-shot deal. Forming identity is a
process that never ends.
And when I meet people who claim that they have shaped
their identity, I think that they have simply stopped searching.
I’m here to provoke the question of identity. Who am I?
What defines me as a person? Who do I want to be when I
“grow up”? I’m not implying a race for employment or vocation, but rather the simple meaning: the human being I would
like to be. I would like to talk about the issues that move us,
the values that motivate us and the things we care about.
And yes, I believe a connection with Israel ought to be part
of every Jewish person’s identity.
Grappling with Israel-related topics is not for the benefit of
Israel. It is important for each of us here. Because folded in the
thought about Israel and in the process of developing one’s attitudes towards her is the question who am I? As you can see, I
love that question. It is a productive one.
And now for the Tachles… I offer two opportunities for those seeking to explore their
identity:
1. Midrasha – an institution, I think, the community
should be very proud of. I am currently working with a group
of 16-year-old students who are giving me a hard time. They
ask questions, look me in the eyes and challenge me. I love it.
Not always do I have answers. Do you? I’m focusing on bringing to the surface their excellent questions. Please encourage
them to attend - Temple and Synagogue kids alike. Please
encourage them to dare to think. Accompany them through
this Israel journey, a journey for which my course serves as
an orientation. Take interest in what they learn. Through the
teens’ eyes one can find inspiration. Before the end of the year,
therefore, I will coordinate a parents-students joint class.
2. The Hebrew Salon – do you want to see the world in different words? Do you have the guts to compose a sentence in
Hebrew? Do you want to be a part of a curious group who also
enjoys good food?
We will meet to get acquainted and to have an intelligent
conversation in Hebrish (Hebrew with the help of English), and
we will return home with a few stimulating questions. Edna Lapidot is
Community Shlicha at the
Jewish Federation of Tulsa
The first meeting will take place on Thursday, February 3rd,
7-9 p.m., at my home. Join us for an informal and intimate atmosphere and potluck menu. ‫ ףיכ היהי‬- It’ll be fun.

Ever since we arrived, Yosi has been writing a weekly blog
about our new life and adventures in the USA. It’s called Discovering America. This reflective, smart and witty post quickly
gathered a large group of fans—family members, relatives and
friends who eagerly wait for his weekly thoughts. Recently he
started posting the blog in The Marker Café which is a public
blogging website affiliated with Ha’aretz newspaper and its
financial section The Marker (or “de marker” in Israeli pronunciation).

I Am Still Walking
O
ur Federation enters 2011 with both challenges and a renewed sense of mission.
The Jewish Federation of Tulsa (JFT) came into existence and remains viable
through the generous efforts of the Tulsa Jewish Community. While gathering
my thoughts on this year’s Tulsa Jewish United Fund Campaign the image that follows
emerged. I share this with you only after a great deal of thought about its propriety and
appropriateness.
Ultimately, I think who we are as a Jewish community is best exemplified by shoes. Not
just any shoes, Jewish shoes. In particular, shoes exhibited at the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
My first encounter with this exhibit of hundreds of shoes belonging to murdered Jews
was breath stopping. On closer examination, what became clear to me is the diversity of
the shoes. They are of different shades of color, size and styles. They represent the human
beings who wore them. Collectively these shoes have left a significantly larger footprint
on the path of history than any one pair.
The Tulsa Jewish Community also comes in all shades, sizes and styles. It also produces
a much larger footprint when it comes to preserving and enhancing Jewish life and wellbeing here at home, in Israel and beyond. We are on a journey and where our shoes will
take us remains to be seen.
I have come to believe that the Jews represented by their shoes at the Museum are saying to the world “I am still walking.” A successful Tulsa Jewish United Fund Campaign in
2011 is vital to our ability to continue to walk the walk on the path of Jewish history.

Fundraising
For the Benjamins, It’s All About Super Sunday
Moving in the summer of 2009 from Glencoe, a Chicago suburb with a fiftypercent plus Jewish population, Fred and Sharon Benjamin found themselves
in the minority in Owasso. But it didn’t take long for the Benjamins, chairs of
the Jewish United Fund Campaign Super Sunday event, to get plugged into the
JewishTulsa community.
“We felt connected very fast,” said Sharon, commenting that JewishTulsa
“took us under its wing and made us feel very welcome.”
Fred and Sharon commented on how Tulsa’s Jewish community reaches out
and welcomes newcomers. “When we came here we were lost,” said Fred, who
also noted the importance of connecting with JewishTulsa. “Until you’re a minority in a different place, and you don’t understand the implications of being
alone, of not having people with a similar value set and culture. It truly makes
you appreciate the connection of being part of a community. Seen through the
lens of newcomers to the community, you don’t know how important it is until
you don’t have it.”
The Benjamins have quickly integrated into the JewishTulsa community,
lending their energy and time to among other things the Jewish Federation
of Tulsa. Fred was recently elected to the JFT board, and there was almost no
hesitation when they asked to chair this year’s Super Sunday. “The indefectible
Harvey Cohen closed the deal,” explained Fred.
The Benjamins look at their participation in the JFT as defining. “The Federation provides avenues to express your Jewish identity in so many different
ways while doing good for so many people at the same time,” said Sharon.
“The Federation through its myriad programs helps a person define his Jewishness,” added Fred.
“One of the main precepts of the of Judiaism is tikkun olam, repairing the
world, and the Federation does that,” said Fred. “The Federation gives Tulsa’s
Jewish community the opportunity to participate in that effort and it gives the
Jewish community a chance to center itself in the broader community at the
Fred and Sharon Benjamin are ready to cheer on
same time.”

Sivya Leventhal Comes to Campus
Hillel Executive Director, Sivya Leventhal
2 JewishTulsa.org
It’s not often that you meet someone who is blown away by the size and youth of JewishTulsa, but after four years in Pasco, WA and a stint in Minot, ND prior to that, Sivya Leventhal,
the new director of Hillel of Northeastern Oklahoma, feels like she’s in Hamish-town. “I’m
happy to be in a place with an active Jewish community,” said Leventhal.
Leventhal, whose father was the rabbi of Beth Shalom in Pittsburg, PA, was an active member of her Hillel at George Washington University, where she studied Sociology. “I was there
every Friday night for services,” said Leventhal, who often lead the GW Hillel’s in Kabbalat
Shabbat. She’s hoping to bring the warmth and activity of GW Hillel’s to the University of Tulsa
campus. “I know it is all about the programming,” said Leventhal, and added, “I know for the
students a lot of that programming will revolve around food.”
While Hillel of Northeastern Oklahoma is located at TU, as the name implies, Leventhal is
busy trying to identify college-aged Jews throughout the area. Arriving in Tulsa in mid-January, Leventhal immediately busied herself, connecting with people at all of the area campuses.
“Rick Cohn and Evan Fadem have done a great job as interim Hillel directors, in keeping the
organization active. Coming in the middle of the year, I’m challenged with just making myself
known,” she said.
Leventhal and her husband Keith, a sports reporter at KOTV, have been impressed by the
attention they’ve received from JewishTulsa since they arrived. “We’re excited to be here. We’re
excited to embark on this next chapter of our lives and to make Tulsa our home.”
Jewish Education
48 Hours
While you were sleeping the Friday and Saturday nights over
the fourth weekend in January, over fifty Jewish kids from Temple
Israel and the Synagogue (and four kids from Congregation
House of Israel Religious School in Hot Springs, AR) were up all
night at the ISJL overnight.
High schoolers Gabi Torianyk, Alex Brodsky and Brody King
from the Synagogue attended Saturday night’s events. Gabi said,
“This weekend was great because it was a chance for the high
school students and the middle school kids to bond from both the
Synagogue and Temple here in Tulsa.” Brody added, “This was a
great leadership opportunity.”
“I think it was awesome and we should do it once a month or
twice a year or something like that. I would recommend this
retreat to my other friends because I’m sure they would enjoy it,”
said Alitza Cabibi Wilkin, a fifth grader from Hot Springs.
Eli Benarrous, a seventh grader at Temple Israel and at Thoreau
Demonstration Academy said, “I think it was really fun that Synagogue and Temple kids got to hang out and learn and have fun. I
would recommend this lock-in for people because it was awesome. I’m so glad I stayed for two nights.”
Jared Simon, a fourth grader at Grissom Elementary and at
B’nai Emunah Religious School said, “It was fun and I would like
to do it as many times as possible. It’s a good time to spend with
your friends and also make some new ones.”
Eliyahu Krigel, Director of Education at B’nai Emunah, was upbeat about the event, even after staying awake the whole weekend,
“It was inspiring for our students at the Synagogue to get to know
the Temple students. We all get together during Midrasha but this
was a first and successful opportunity we provided outside of Midrasha to build camaraderie and strengthen our community.”

ISJL in the Classroom
Put your hands in the air like you just don’t care.
Nine years ago, Rachel Stern brought together a team of educators to change the way Jewish education was delivered to Jewish religious school students. The goal was to develop a transdenominational program that focuses on the common body of
Jewish knowledge. Stern, the Education Director for the Jackson,
MS-based Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life
(ISJL), and her team developed curriculum that is now being used
by dozens of Temples and Synagogues, including B’nai Emunah
and Temple Israel.
Stern explained that the courseware provides “the best of Jewish education.” ISJL provides Jewish educators with a framework
for each class, creating a sense of continuity from grade to grade.
“Like in the secular education world, our classes build upon one
another,” said Stern.
In addition to supplying curriculum, the ISJL also provides an
in-house visitor from Jackson. Over the last year JewishTulsa has
been lucky enough to work with Allison Goldman, a Dallas native
who is finishing her two year residency with ISJL at the end of the
school year. Goldman has worked with Tulsa students, acted as a
liaison to ISJL for Eliyahu Krigel and Rabbi Beroll, and recently
spent two sleepless nights in Tulsa at the ISJL Regional Youth Retreat.
“One of the things we’re great at is organizing lock-ins and re-
treats,” said Goldman, clearly excited to pull all-nighters with the
Synagogue and Temple Israel youth.
Goldman spends the religious school semester on the road
representing ISJL in Tulsa and six other communities. “I’ve really
enjoyed working with everyone in Tulsa, especially Eliyahu and
Rabbi Beroll,” said Goldman.
“Working with Alli has been nothing but pure pleasure, said
Krigel, Director of Education at B’nai Emunah.
Krigel and Rabbi Beroll are recruiting religious school instructors at the Temple and Synagogue to attend the ISJL education
conference in June. “I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with our fellow regional congregations as well as with the
ISJL,” he said.
Best known in Tulsa for its educational programming, the ISJL
began as the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in 1986.
The Museum, now a subsidiary of the ISJL, focuses on providing
educational and rabbinic services to Southern Jewish communities, documenting and preserving the rich history of the Southern
Jewish experience, and promoting a Jewish cultural presence
throughout a thirteen state region. IJSL’s innovative regional programming includes annual Jewish film festivals, concerts highlighting cross-cultural music, literary programs, dance and theater
performances. For more information go to: www.msje.org

From the Bimah
Simple, Direct, Wise, and Beautiful
Rabbi Charles P. Sherman
TEMPLE ISRAEL
I regularly incorporate Psalm 23 into the funeral services I
conduct. I often introduce it by indicating that for millennia we
Jews and, through us, people of many other faiths have found
comfort and consolation in
the inspired words of this
Psalmist. In fact, no words of
comfort in human history are
more often quoted than the
23rd Psalm. What is it about
those words which are so
reassuring?
My dear friend Rabbi Roy Walter of Houston found a
description of the real meaning of what this Psalm offers us. He
notes that the great thing is that while this Psalm is certainly
appropriate for a funeral setting, what it says is true for life as well.
I believe it is the simple wisdom and directness of Psalm 23 in
beautiful poetic form which captures us.
The Lord is my Shepherd – that’s a Relationship!
I shall not want – that’s Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures – that’s Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters – that’s Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul – that’s Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness – that’s Guidance!
For His name’s sake – that’s Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death –
that’s Testing!
I will fear no evil – that’s Protection!
For Thou art with me – that’s
Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff
comfort me – that’s
Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine
enemies – that’s Hope!
Thou anointest my head with oil – that’s Consecration!
My cup runneth over – that’s Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life – that’s Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord – that’s Security!
Forever – that’s Eternity!
Personally, I believe that “He” is just as likely “She” and would
prefer gender neutral references to Deity, but this Psalm is known
by memory by so many people that emendations would interfere
with/distract from essence.
no words of comfort in
human history are more
often quoted
Kids’ Korner Finds Purim on the Web
Eliyahu Krigel, MA
Director of Education, Congregation B’nai Emunah
The Hebrew month of Adar begins on February 4 this year
and it is a time in our calendar cycle reminding us to prepare for
Purim. In the Talmud in Ta’anit 29a, it says, “When Adar enters,
our joy increases.” Purim commemorates a time when the Jews
living in Persia were saved by Queen Esther and Mordecai. In
the story of the Book of Esther, Mordecai tells Esther, who he
raised as his own daughter, not to reveal her true identity to
the King for he wanted to protect her. By withholding who she
was from the King at first, she was able to save the entire Jewish
community. We celebrate this story during Purim which is one
of the most joyous holidays in the Jewish calendar. The holiday
is all about being proud of who you are on the inside so you
can bring it into the outside with joy and pride. May we all be
blessed to experience true happiness during this joyful time and
the courage it takes to put one hundred percent effort into everything we do! There are many sites to explore regarding Purim
on the Web, and here are a few:

The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art
Hunting for Treasures in Your Attic
Arthur M. Feldman
Executive Director
Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art
Collecting Jewish antiques and memorabilia is not only rewarding but also easy to do. It isn’t necessary to visit antique shops
or be on the lookout for estate sales — just look around and ask
friends and acquaintances. Any traditional object may serve to
reconstruct Jewish patterns of life from around the world.
The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art has listed the types
of objects that should be kept in mind. But this list should not
stop you from searching for other items. Sometimes the simplest
kitchen tools or the fancy embroideries that used to grace the parlors of our mothers and grandmothers, or the scissors and sewing
machines of the tailor are just as important.
But there are a couple of points to keep in mind.
First, the object doesn’t have to be “Jewish” to be significant in
Jewish life. You have only to think of the fur trimmed hat (the
streimel) or the gargoush headgear of the Yemenite women to realize that there were places and times when Jewish costumes were
different from those of the neighboring peoples. There were also
such items as the vessels for koshering meat, or the covered pot in
which the Eastern European cholent was taken to the brick-oven,
or even the Shabbat Challah, which, although similar in their
forms to food once used by gentiles for analogous purposes, their
ritual or traditional function made them, with time, undoubtedly
Jewish.
But how can purely secular objects belong to Jewish ethnography? Remember the goal: To re-construct Jewish lifestyle by
saving cultural items from the many countries where Jews once
lived. This implies that all objects that belonged to Jews should be
collected, without consideration as to whether they were specific
to Jews. With this in mind, one could collect all the “old stuff ”
that has been gathering dust in the attics of friends and relatives
for many years. We know that museums have very stiff competition in this field. It’s true: private collectors and antique dealers
are looking for precisely the same kind of objects that we need at
the Museum.
A hammer, an apron, or a child’s toy may seem to be simply
common items. But the simplest of hammers may be indispensable for making up of the set of tools in the demonstration of
the techniques used by a carpenter or a metal worker. The apron

would add life and atmosphere to the reconstruction of a European kitchen interior.
Just because an object isn’t pleasing to the eye doesn’t mean it
will lead to an unattractive exhibit. Curators can create remarkable and beautiful shows from the most meaningless and aesthetically valueless objects. Indeed, current trends in the arts have
taught us to see art and aesthetic values in the functional and in
the conceptual, criteria which are more naturally inherent to ethnographic/memorabilia artifacts than to works of art.
Start with the fundamental notion that we cannot represent
what Judaism has created, but only what it is or has been. The
beauty of the tremendous sagas and the wisdom of the Bible, its
ethical pillars or the moral conventions of the Halakha, the ceaseless stream of Jewish contribution to the world’s output in philosophy and science — all these are difficult to show in a museum.
But by far the most exciting aspect of this hobby is that we are
still in a generation where objects that reveal the migration of
Jews can be found. Start hunting.
Israeli ReWalk Does Walk On
You may have recently seen the Israel-made ReWalk robotic
exoskeleton on TV’s Glee, and soon you may see it on sidewalks
and stairs in Tulsa.
The ReWalk robotic exoskeleton enables paraplegics to stand,
walk, and take stairs themselves, shifting a person from wheelchair user status to a crutch user status. Designed by Amit Goffer
of Argo Medical Technologies, this remarkable device got its start
at the Technion innovation incubator at Technion-Israel Institute
of Technology in Haifa. Goffer himself has been confined to a
wheelchair since 1997.
Worn around the legs and torso, the device works using a combination of motion sensors, electric motors, and a computerized
backpack – controlled by a wristband.
ReWalk has been used in clinical trials in Israel, and recently
won FDA approval for institutional use in the U.S. and is awaiting
FDA approval for personal use.

Making Aliyah
“Second, the wineries have gone really state-of-the-art. The big and
medium wineries all have very modern facilities, and all the techniques
for making very fine wine. Third, and most important, we are learning
more and more and developing our vineyards better in terms of
technology,” says Rogov.
Three years ago, he points out, Mark Squires, who writes for Parker,
visited Israel and wrote about our wines and gave them a great deal of
praise. “Some 13 or 14 wines scored over 90, which [means they are]
really outstanding wines,” Rogov says.
A filmmaker for 25 years, Zeev Dunia now runs a successful boutique
winery in the Judean Hills.
The revolution
transforming
Israel’s wine
industry
Noah may have started off on the wrong foot when he planted his
vineyard in Israel, but at least his descendants are getting it right. Around
the world, Israeli wines are winning prizes and accolades, which is
intoxicating news indeed for local winemakers.
Top American wine maven Robert Parker says, “The wines are getting
better all the time and some of them are superb.” Wine magazines like
Wine Spectator write “…Quality is on the upswing” and leading wine
critics – and just plain folks looking for something to drink with dinner
– are discovering that Israeli wines aren’t just for Friday night Kiddush
anymore.
So what’s changed since the average bottle of Israeli wine was a
sticky, syrupy non-experience? (Which is an apt description of the wine
produced by the Carmel Winery when it was founded by Edmond James
de Rothschild in 1882.) Plenty. Both in terms of know how and the
unbridled Israeli passion for winemaking.
Daniel Rogov, resident wine and restaurant critic at the Hebrewlanguage Ha’aretz daily, says of the industry today: “We have a retinue
of winemakers who are internationally trained and internationally
experienced, some Israeli-born, some not. We have world class
winemakers and that’s very important.”
6 JewishTulsa.org
From screen to SeaHorse
One of the most fascinating elements of Israel’s boutique winery
revolution is the proliferation of boutique wineries opened by people who
get the wine bug and leave their previous careers behind.
Zeev Dunia was previously head of the video and television production
department at Jerusalem’s Hadassah College of Technology when he was
bitten by the winemaking bug while making a film about the process in
1994-95.
“I was a filmmaker for 25 years. At first I wasn’t particularly interested
in the subject [of wine],” Dunia says as he pauses to check the grapes.
“But as the film was done, which took about a year because it followed
the process of wine-making from the vineyard to the glass, I started to
develop unconsciously some sort of interest that grew.
“This happens to quite a lot of people – they discover wine and without
really having any training, it becomes more and more something you get
involved with, and that’s really the magic of wine. If we had to describe
what’s so special about it, it’s that it’s never the same. Every bottle of wine
is slightly different… the more you get into it, the more it surprises you,”
he says.
Dunia now owns and runs SeaHorse Winery (www.seahorse.wines)
in Bar Giora in the Judean Hills. This small but outstanding operation
produces about 1,500 cases of wine annually.
“There’s a lot of passion involved, whether you are a grower in the
vineyards or a winemaker,” says Dunia, who uses the French method
of dense planting and low yield and takes pride in “the unique varieties
of wine” he produces, particularly his Zinfandel and his latest addition
Chenin Blanc.
A few years ago, the visiting wine critic of La Figaro and a Gallery
Lafayette representative at an exhibit in Tel Aviv told him that his wine
was “the best wine we have ever tasted in Israel.”
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat to protect himself from the sun, he
spends time in his vineyards every day, sometimes to shoo away the deer
that have a fondness for his grapes. He says that winemaking grants him a
deeper connection to the land on which his grapes grow.
“One thing that has happened over these past 10 years is that I really
understand the importance of working the land and what it does to us.
Before that, I felt I was a citizen of the world, could live anywhere and do
my thing. Now, once you have planted something in the soil, you cannot
leave… And I think we should be more attentive to the importance of
agriculture, not in the sense of business… It’s our future.”

Campaign Opening Dinner
Chris Crawford, Mike Pryor, Heather Richetto-Rumley, Kara Staiger and Rebecca Ungerman belted out tunes from some of Stephen Schwartz’s hits.
Where Were You When
The Lights Went Out?
Not even a brownout at the Renaissance Hotel could put a damper on
the Annual Campaign Opening Dinner, Sunday, January 23rd. While
the first few minutes of the event were a lit by emergency lighting, the
evening progressed under full power with the supervision of Campaign
Opening Dinner Chair Karen Blum and her team. The annual dinner,
sponsored by the Mizel Family Foundation in memory of Flo and Morris
Mizel, which was attended by hundreds of JewishTulsans, featured dinner,
entertainment and, of course, an envelope.
Once the evening was underway (and lighted), Lisa Marcum recounted
her experience with March of the Living, a trip to Poland and Israel funded by the Jewish Federation of Tulsa. Campaign Chair Alex Goldberg
introduced a short film chronicling some of the lives the Jewish United
Funds touch. And Jeff Darby, who along with his wife Janet Dundee
chaired the event’s entertainment, introduced the evening’s act.
Performers Chris Crawford, Mike Pryor, Heather Richetto-Rumley,
Kara Staiger and Rebecca Ungerman belted out tunes from some of Stephen Schwartz’s hits, including Godspell, Wicked and Working.
The night was a perfect kick-off for this year’s Jewish United Fund
Campaign.

JewishTulsa’s BBYO chapters during their January 23rd induction
ceremonies at the CSJCC.
BBYO on the Move Locally and Regionally
Ben Goldberg, FRAZA Sopher
BBYO is an international Jewish youth group for high school students.
Organized into geographical regions across the United States and around
the world, Tulsa’s male chapter, Feenberg Rubin AZA (FRAZA), and
female chapter, Nona Bloch Solomon BBG (Solomon), are part of the
North Texas-Oklahoma Region.
On December 19th FRAZA and Solomon made their annual bus trip
to Dallas for Regional Convention and to elect regional officers of the
board. This year our own Adam Brimer was elected to the position of
Regional Vice President, a high honor and often a difficult feat since all of
the region’s sixteen total chapters (eight AZA and eight BBG) are in the
Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
FRAZA and Solomon held their chapter elections on January 9th and
held their induction ceremony on January 23rd at the CSJCC, welcoming
the new boards.
Officers for Nona Bloch Solomon’s spring term are: Lydia Lapadus,
Nsiah; Elissa Foust, S’ganit; Shaina Cash & Hannah Sieler, MIT Moms;
Britney Wambold, Sh’licha; Jamie Newman and Reagan Schoenholz,
Mazkirot; Lorine (Jessica) Hill, Gizborit; Allison Weintraub, Orechet and
Natalie Charney, Madricha.
Officers for FRAZA’s spring term are: Jon Hyman, Godol; Adam
Brimer, S’gan; Glade Inhoffe & Alex Brodsky, Morim; Peter Adelson,

For tickets call The Synagogue 918-583-7121
$10 regular seating, $36 orchestra and $5 student
Tickets are now available for Congregation B’nai Emunah’s citywide interfaith concert, Sound and Spirit of Tulsa: Celebration. Ten
years after the inaugural concert in 2001, B’nai Emunah’s success has
become a model for community groups around the country.
Sound and Spirit of Tulsa drew an enormous audience in 2009, with
participants from many congregations and faith groups. This year’s
performance will address the theme of Celebration.
Sound and Spirit will spotlight Oklahoma’s musical vitality from
traditional Celtic music to country swing. The concert will be narrated by Terry Hood, news anchor for KOTV Channel 6, and a longtime
fan of Sound and Spirit. The line-up will include many remarkable
talents, such as The Pendelton Family Fiddlers who have performed
with Lyle Lovett; Harmonyc Fuzion; Rick Fortner’s All Souls Choir,
and Cairde na Gael, in lush, haunting renditions of traditional Gaelic
music. Guests will also be moved by the joyful sounds of The Metropolitan Baptist Church Sanctuary Choir.
In addition, the Synagogue has now formed The Rise Up Singers,
an inter-generational, interfaith vocal group which will make its debut
appearance.
Debby Raskin and Ruth Slocum, Sound and Spirit event chairs, emphasized that ticket sales “benefit the Tulsa Public School system. The
event enables the Synagogue to make a substantial contribution to public
school students.” This year’s efforts will focus on the Food-4-Kids Backpack Program, an initiative that works to relieve food insecurity among
struggling families. A gift of $160 will help support a child for an entire
school year. Those who would like to help underwrite the project should
contact the Synagogue at 918-583-7121.
Sing, Halleluyah!
Sunday, February 20th 7:00, Temple Israel

Interfaith Trialogue Series exploring Medical
Dilemmas of Living and Dying in America
Local religious and medical leaders will address the topic Medical
Dilemmas of Living and Dying in America at the Oklahoma Center for
Community and Justice’s 2011 Interfaith Trialogue Series in February.
Session 1, Living vs. Dying: The Costs, February 6th, 2:00 p.m. Boston
Avenue United Methodist Church, 1301 S. Boston Ave. – Most of our
health-care budget goes to patients in their last six months of life. Many
patients say that they want to die at home, but that is not the typical
scenario. The same technology that sustains us at the end presents
enormous ethical challenges. Are there more effective interventions
that would cost us less in money and moral grief? Join Jeff Alderman,
M.D., and Kevin Donovan, M.D., University of Oklahoma School of
Community Medicine, as they present this enlightening conversation.
Session 2, Who Cares & How, February 13th, 2:00 p.m., Peace Academy, 4620 S. Irvington – Maintaining peace of soul might mean choosing
against treatment. What happens when people stop defining disease as a
battleground? Is palliative care a defeat or another way of responding to
the challenge of terminal illness? What does “terminal” mean? Many of
us are fearful of pulling the plug on those we love. Where is God in this
complicated equation? Join Barbara Bilderback, St. Francis Hospice; Ron
Nofziger, Hillcrest Medical Center; Rabbi Anna Beroll, Temple Israel;
Dr. Mindy McGarrah Sharp, Phillips Theological Seminary; and Dr. Ziad
Sous, Islamic Society of Tulsa, as they address these questions and more.
Session 3, Meaning in the Shadows, February 20th, The Synagogue,
17th Street and Peoria – Every tradition defines the meaning of life, but it
also must reckon with the meaning of death. Is this world the end of the
line or is there another domain that opens up at the moment of death?
What are our options for leaving a legacy that contributes to the general
good? Can death itself be part of a beautiful and fulfilling life? Join the
Rev. Irv Cutter, St. John’s Episcopal Church; Dr. Jacob Howland,Tulsa
University; Nuredin Giayash, Peace Academy; and Father Jack Gleason,
Church of the Madalene, as they address these questions and more.

The Council for Holocaust Education’s 2011 Interfaith Yom Hashoah
program will feature Fumiko Ishioka, Director of Tokyo Holocaust Education Resource Center.
After finishing an MA in Development Studies at Leeds University
in England in 1995, Ishioka spent two years working at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs. In 1997, Fumiko helped form the Tokyo Holocaust
Education Resource Center, aimed at teaching young students tolerance,
mutual respect, and compassion.
Through her tenacity and hard work, Ishioka managed to discover
the story behind the owner of a suitcase loaned to her by the Auschwitz
Museum. Her quest, captured in the film Inside Hana’s Suitcase, led her
to Canada and the surviving brother of Hana Brady, the owner of the
suitcase.
The Interfaith Yom Hashoah programming, set for May 1st through
May 5th, will feature appearances by Ishioka and a showing of Inside
Hana’s Suitcase at the Circle Cinema.
