I thought of this essay in thinking about what the Torah tells us about models of leadership, especially that of Aaron, the Priest, as compared to Moses, the Prophet. Aaron was the first High Priest. And in that role he took the proverbial bull by the horns. After all, no one had ever previously been the High Priest. In other words, Aaron had nobody’s footsteps to follow in. He had no role model. But Aaron recognized that as a leader he oftentimes had to be the first in certain situations. He had to be the role model; the one to take risks. He had to be the one to say, “God, if you tell me to do, it I will do it.” He had to be the one to devote his time and energy into serving God, no matter how difficult it might be. Aaron was such a role model by showing us that it is worthwhile to do God’s work and to follow his commandments. At the same time, Aaron also realized that the role of a leader in Israel is to not distance himself from the people, but to see to their improvement. And from Aaron we should learn not to hesitate to become more active in daily Jewish life and ritual because we are afraid or ignorant. We shouldn’t be afraid to read and study more about Judaism. No matter where you were in the past, tomorrow, on a dime, you can turn, and begin to become educated; begin to become knowledgeable, and ultimately to become a leader of the Jewish people. When it comes to not doing something because you don’t know how my mantra is, “Ignorance is not a terminal disease; that which I don’t know today, I have the chance of learning tomorrow.” So for those of you who are afraid, or are hesitant to get involved more involved in synagogue life, remember Aaron. He stood up to do exactly what he had to do. He was up to the challenge. That was the sign of a true leader. And that can be inspiring, and I hope it is inspiring to all of us. Finally, when Aaron died we learn that all the people wept for him for thirty days because it was a personal loss, a loss shared by each and every individual. That is because Aaron, with his style of leadership was closer with the people. That is why Aaron is described as “Loving peace and pursuing peace, loving people and bringing them to the Torah.” Cantor’s Corner Cantor Michael Glozman I came across an incredible story that I want to share with you. I hope it leaves you with a smile as it did me. “A chassid came to see the Karliner Rebbe because he was depressed. “I don’t know what to do,” he said. “I’m not a good Jew. I don’t study enough, I don’t know enough; all I do is work, work, work. But I want to study more. Rebbe, I have a question. What do our great and holy rabbis study on Friday night?” “Well,” said the Karliner, “some study Kabbalah.” “Oh,” said the chassid, “that is not for me.” “No,” said the Karliner, “that is not for everybody. But I am sure you study Talmud regularly. How does it go?” “Rebbe, I am ashamed to admit it, but I do not study Talmud regularly. You see, I grew up poor. I had to work from an early age to help out my family. I did not get much of an education. I find the Talmud very difficult.” “And if you study together with a friend?” asked the Karliner. “My friends also work very hard; they don’t know much either. Besides, I have no time to sit in the study hall for hours. What else can I do?” “Working hard for your family is a mitzvah,” said the Karliner. “You can study the weekly Torah reading with Rashi’s commentary and with Midrashim.” “Oh no,” said the man. “I always found Rashi very difficult. As I told you, I hardly got an education. I struggle through the Parshah each week, but it doesn’t uplift me. I am a failure. Besides, I am really not a scholar. I prefer to work with my hands. My family is big, and I work long hours.” “No Jew is a failure,” said the Karliner sternly. “Every Jew can learn. And every Jew should learn. I know something for you. You certainly will enjoy telling beautiful stories about our great sages and tzaddikim (righteous people) to your friends and with your family!” “I am bad at telling stories,” objected the chassid. “I always forget the important points, I mix them up, and I am not a good talker either. Please, I can’t do that ...” The Karliner leaned back in his chair. He closed his eyes and he began to hum. He hummed and he swayed back and forth, and the chassid listened in amazement. This was beautiful. What a melody! And he began to sing along. He never had felt so wonderful before, so close to G-d. After a long time the singing stopped. The Karliner opened his eyes and looked at the chassid intently. “Rebbe,” the chassid exclaimed, “I understand. Oh yes, I do! I don’t feel depressed any more. Thank you, thank you!” And he went home, and every Shabbat he sang the most beautiful niggunim. But most of all, he loved the niggun of the Karliner Rebbe. And he did not feel depressed anymore. 3 President’s Message The air around TBK is electric and I hope you will join me in the excitement for the Temple’s February 22nd Annual Gala and Concert. Led by Ronda Bellsey, the entire Gala committee (chairpersons: Mort Cooper, Arthur Farkas, Marion Goldberg, Laura Kurtzman, Carrin Simmons, Joan Sircus, Steve Slade, Pauline & Alan Tapper, Liz Taylor-Watnick, Janet Wayne, and Claire Zimmerman), met many times and spent hours, days and weeks working on the combined event. Please congratulate them on a job well done, as I have. Kol HaKavod! Next year, we will be celebrating Temple Beth Kodesh’s 40th Anniversary and I know you will support us again. Have you noticed how few empty seats there are at TBK on a typical Shabbat? This year our Gala attendance is setting new records. Some shuls have a hard time getting a minyan on Shabbat. Ha! Baruch HaShem, we don’t have that issue. From strength to strength! Please consider sponsoring a Kiddish or Oneg to celebrate or commemorate an important event, like the anniversary of your bar/bat mitzvah, birthday or wedding anniversary. Do you really need to go on another cruise? Wouldn’t you rather be surrounded by family and friends? We would all like to take part in your simcha! All the best, Len Epstein, President Tribute Cards Did you know that Temple Beth Kodesh sends out tribute cards throughout the year? A tribute can pay a friend a compliment, send good wishes to friends and family, be given as a sign of respect or to commemorate – births, birthdays, weddings, mitzvahs, or deaths. Call the office and speak to Sheila or Eileen. They will be glad to send out a card for any occasion and the temple will let the recipient know of your contribution to the shul. You can donate any amount -- $5.00 per card/minimum. We also have tribute cards you can purchase in the office to mail out yourself. Cards are available in sets of 10 for $25.00 each and will come in handy whenever you may need them. 4 Temple Beth Kodesh Proudly Offers Jewish National Fund Tree Certificates for Simchas, Sorrows - Donations- $18 per Tree For information or to order a Certificate Call the Temple Office (561) 586-9428 Make Checks Payable To Temple Beth Kodesh When placing your order, please have available the purpose of the donation and where and to whom you would like the certificate mailed.

FUNDRAISING Rhonda Bellsay - Exec. VP Just a few more days until our Gala Concert and Banquet. A tremendous amount of planning and work has gone into the success (hopefully huge success) of this event and I want to thank those who contributed right now: Len and Sherry Epstein Marion Goldberg Claire Zimmerman Marilyn Solomon Pauline & Al Tapper Janet Wayne Joan Sircus Murray Rubin Laura Kurtzman Al Traum Leah Noskin Madolyn Gelbart Carrin Simmons James Meckley Izzy Bordainick Charlotte Kesten Ronda & Jerry Bellsey Arthur Farkas Lynn Karten Ellen Shore Liz Taylor-Watnick Mort Cooper Steve Slade And I’m sure I’ve forgotten a name or two because so many of our congregants offered to help.

The Rabbi helped in every area. Audrey Levy was indispensible. We could not have succeeded without the untiring help of Eileen Trager and Sheila Seras. Oh, yes, and I think Cantor Misha Glozman deserves a little credit too. And, of course, Fritz. And, a special thank you to the person who sparked the idea---Rita Rubin. Rita, the evening belongs to you!! Now, I say this before the Gala takes place: please enjoy it—enjoy every minute of it. And if you have any complaints I beg of you to send them to the Congress of the United States of America. Please don’t send them to me. I tried my best. Really I did. “These are the things I learned (in Kindergarten) (edited): 1. Share everything. 2. Play fair. 3. Don't hit people. 4. Put things back where you found them. 5. Clean up your own mess. 6. Don't take things that aren't yours. 7. Say you're SORRY when you HURT somebody. 8. Wash your hands before you eat. 9. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. 10. Live a balanced life. 11. Take a nap every afternoon. 12. Watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. 13. Be aware of wonder. 14. LOOK.” ― Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten 5 MEMBERSHIP 2014 was a GREAT year for T.B.K! More than 67 new members have joined our family, that’s just wonderful! For all new and old members our Temple has a lot to offer: a Sisterhood, Men’s Club, and Rabbi’s Learning Classes, to name a few. Carrin Simmons, V.P. of programming is looking into events that will interest all. Get involved, circulate at the Kiddish, and meet new people. I am available for any calls or issues you might have. Again a Happy and Healthy New Year.

From R to L: Earle Halsband, Sarah Nine Phillips, Rabbi Simon, Cantor Glozman, Jonathan Phillips News from the Sisterhood Shalom, On Sunday morning, about 130 Sisterhood members, spouses, friends and guests were treated to a showing of the documentary film, “Making Trouble”, which was about three generations of Jewish female comedians. Philip Shane, son of Marci and Frank Kearly, was there to introduce and answer questions about his film. We look forward to showing more of his documentary films. On February 4th, at 11:00 am, we will be having a Tu B’Shevat Seder led by Rabbi Simon. The cost is $5 per person. Please see the flyer on another page in this Shalom. On Friday, February 20th, there will be a Rosh Chodesh learning session with Rabbi Simon at 10:00 am following minyan and breakfast. We hope to see you at these Sisterhood events. Kol Tov, Linda Cooper CARPOOL We now have the best problem Temple Beth Kodesh could ever ask for: a crowded parking lot!!! Please, if you possibly can, try to carpool to shul. In the Telephone Directory you will find the names of the communities we live in. Carpool and save not only gas but also an extra spot in the parking lot. Men’s Club Chatter As the old year fades away and a new year begins, we tend to be more enthusiastic about making resolutions and having new goals. Let’s start talking about the Men’s Club. We have many wonderful programs planned for the new year. We have in March the Purim Party with entertainment. In April we have a luncheon with a Broadway male singer. In May, will have a breakfast with a speaker. This is just the beginning. The Men’s Clubs goal is to do their best in the New Year. We need your attendance and participation to make this year a success. If you do not support and attend our programs, the Men’s Club will not succeed. I am pleased to inform you that the Board of Directors of the Men’s Club is extending to all new Temple Members (i.e., those having joined the Temple in 2014) a complimentary Membership in our club for 2015. We encourage you to join us in our many activities, and as a Men’s Club Member you may also attend our Board meetings on the first Friday of every month. Again, welcome to our wonderful Temple family and to the Men’s Club. We look forward to seeing you at our events.
