RABBI’S MESSAGE

April showers

bring May flow-

ers. Well that’s at

least how the say-

ing goes.

Here at Agudas,

May also brings

more activities and an even-more

bustling synagogue. Throughout

this newsletter you will see all the

wonderful events and activities in

which you can engage. I do hope

you take advantage of them. Maybe

even the ones which don’t initially

strike your fancy, but you will give

it a chance anyway because you

never know what you might experi-

ence or to whom you might con-

nect. We all know that change is

hard and yet it can also be incredi-

bly rewarding.

In that vein, I wanted to let you

know of some changes that you will

see in two parts of our building.

The first is in the board room. We

will be receiving and using an inter-

active whiteboard. Imagine a com-

puter built into a white board, with

all the functionality of both. So we

will be able to watch videos, have

fewer handouts, listen to music,

have prezi presentations, and draw

(though, sorry to say, my artistic

skills will remain the same).

One value in Judaism is taking

care of our environment, and Jewish

concept of bal tashchit, "do not de-

stroy," forbids needless destruction. Going electronic,

like we have with our newsletter and our membership

directory, allows us to be more mindful of our impact

on our natural resources.

Another value stems from the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot

4:1, which says “who is wise? One who learns from

everyone”. Having an electronic resource in our board

room allows for more teachers too. With the internet at

our fingertips, the resources are endless.

Another value is adaptation. While there is no quote

from Pirkei Avot, rest assured that Jews know how to

adapt. We have had to adapt since our inception as a

people. From Abraham to Moses, from David to Baby-

lonia, from sacrificial religion to rabbinic, from isolated

to included, we Jews have learned to adapt. And so

now, as we are well into the 21st century and technology

is not going away, we are adapting.

One final point here too, we will also be installing a

new traditional white board for those who are not yet

ready to go all in. Change is hard, but it doesn’t have to

be painful.

The second technological change you will see in our

building is in our sanctuary. We will be installing pro-

jectors and screens so we may participate in visual te-

filah. Here too, we know that change can be challeng-

ing, and we will take it slow. Once everything is in

place, we will have a demonstrative service so that we

will all feel comfortable with the change. We will not

use it every week at first as we all get accustomed to

this newness.

Here too, why?

Have you ever wondered what page we are on? If it is

on the screen, you don’t need to wonder. Have you ever

wanted to look around and connect with our community

while praying rather than looking at your siddur? With

this, you can. Have you ever wanted to read, not just

listen, to new prayers? With this, you can. Are your

hands hurting and you’d rather not hold a book, but you

still want to follow along? With this, you can.

Do images speak more to you than words? We will pre-

sent to you not just the words, but pictures and scenes and

images which capture the essence of our prayers.

With this visual tefilah we can join together even more

during our services as a community. We are able to build

deeper relationships with one another with this addition.

And that ultimately is our goal.

If you want to know more, my door is open.

I hope you are excited about these additions and growths

in our synagogue as I and our leadership are. Blessings for

a healthy and happy month,

Warmly, Rabbi Rachael Jackson

The Jewish calendar is remarkable in that for

thousands of years, each year, we observe the same

holidays and rituals over and over. We now look

ahead at the month of May which is marked by the

festival of Shavuot. As I have written before, Sha-

vuot is the Hebrew word for “weeks” and refers to

the Jewish festival marking the giving of the Torah

at Mount Sinai, which occurs seven weeks after

Passover. Shavuot, like many other Jewish holi-

days, began as an ancient agricultural festival that

marked the end of the spring barley harvest and the

beginning of the summer wheat harvest. In ancient

times, Shavuot was a pilgrimage festival during

which Israelites brought crop offerings to the Tem-

ple in Jerusalem. Today, it is a celebration of Torah,

education, and actively choosing to participate in

Jewish life (reform judaism.org). There are many

traditions associated with Shavuot and many les-

sons to be learned. One of my favorite traditions is

the reading of the Book of Ruth. The ancient rabbis

said that the Book of Ruth was written to teach us a

lesson in gemilut chasadim, acts of loving-kindness.

(see Ruth Rabbah 2:15).

Here at Agudas Israel we often see acts of loving

kindness. However, this month, we will, with bitter-

sweet tears of joy, celebrate our own Sherry Harris.

Sherry is leaving us to be closer to her family in

Minnesota. As she leaves, we are infused with the

memories of all that she has given us; her love and

friendship, gifts of service, and unwavering support

for all things Agudas Israel. I know many of you

have memories that make you smile when you think

of your encounters with Sherry. Be sure to share

those memories with Sherry and with us. Join us on

this special evening as we honor Sherry who has

honored us with her gifts. May her generous and

loving deeds serve as an inspiration and lesson for

each of us.

Feeling grateful,

Dr. Linda Perkel, President

Meet Abbie and

Andy Volin

Andy originally

hails from Colum-

bia, South Carolina,

and Abbie was born

just outside of Chi-

cago. Abbie lived

in Hendersonville

for more than 30 years prior to moving with Andy,

and his cat “Shmata”, to Landrum, South Caro-

lina.

They love taking care of their 100 year old home

and also have two booths in the area which are

stocked with vintage goods . Their home and

booths keep them busy going to estate sales and

auctions in their “spare” time. Abbie is also a

jewelry artist and incorporates vintage items in her

work. She repurposes and repairs the unique

pieces that she finds. Andy has a great career

working for Lowe’s for the last thirty years. Also

known as Grammy and

Pops, they have 5 wonderful

children and 3 perfect grand-

children between them!

Be sure to introduce your-

self the next time you see them here at the syna-

gogue or in town. Submitted by: Barbara Gittleman

Your submissions for Chai-Lites MUST be sent directly to Marilyn Rosen. This is the only way to ensure that they will be published.

Deli Night for the congregation, and any outside

guests who wish to participate are welcome.

Brotherhood has also committed to lead 2 Shabbat

Services during the upcoming fiscal year. Dates to

be coordinated with Rabbi Jackson.

Tours are being planned to the BMW plant and to

the Equestrian Center

Brotherhood is actively reviewing the paver

fundraising program which will be implemented

once we obtain pricing for the engraved bricks and

pavers.

Announcements regarding planned Brotherhood

events will be featured in the upcoming Chai Lites

and the weekly Agudas Israel Newsletters as well

as email reminders.

Special thanks to everyone who helped set up the

social hall for the Passover Seder.

Shalom

THE PRESIDENT’S CLUB The President’s Club is proud to announce the current

and growing membership. Membership requires that a

five year commitment of at least $500 per year, in

excess of current dues be made.

It is the objective of the members of the President’s

nothing but a historical memory.

In compliance with Henderson County Fire Safety Regulations, all fire exit doors, used for exiting and entering our building, must be kept clear of all obstructions, including but not limited to unattended motor vehicles which will cause delay in access for fire-rescue and police. In addition, it will hinder people inside our building in attempting to evacuate in case of emergency: There are five (5) fire exit doors; the main entrance doors under the covered driveway, two west far side doors which lead out into the parking lot area; the fourth is located to the rear of the library which is also used as an evacuation point and for the pick-up and /or delivery of items. The fifth door is also used as an evacuation point, for delivery and pickups, and not to be used to leave standing unattended vehicles parked. In addi-tion, I ask everyone to make sure when they utilize our parking spaces that they lock their vehicles and make sure that valuables are either removed or locked away. In case the building has to be evacuated, the two double doors in the Social Hall, and the northeast door located in the Sanctuary, are to be used by the occupants inside the building that leads to the "Founders Garden". which is the designated gathering point for safety. Thank you, Al Rosen,VP Building & Grounds

Accommodations are $390 pp, 2 in a room. There is a $10 discount if registration is paid before mid June.
