A Word From Our Rabbi A Word From Our Executive

by Rabbi Shalom Kantor

Purim, Passover define Jews

Each spring, Jews celebrate two holidays central to

who we are as a people. Both Purim and Passover

are microcosms of the larger goals of Judaism.

Despite the many differences between the two

holidays, both not only represent a triumph of good

over evil, but point the way towards the final re-

demption of the Jewish people and salvation of the

world with the coming of the Messiah or Messianic

Era.

Purim (March 9-10) celebrates the hidden hand of G-d through the brav-

ery of Esther. There are a number of rabbinic commentaries that see the

entire book of Esther as a metaphor for the final battle that paves the way

for the coming of the Messiah. This is highlighted by the verse that has

been incorporated into the Havdallah liturgy recited before the blessings:

ליהוד�ים ה�ית�ה אור�ה ושמח�ה וששן ויק�ר�

The Jews enjoyed light and gladness, happiness and honor.

And then, after the blessings of Havdallah, we sing to Elijah The Prophet

who, our tradition teaches us, will be the forerunner of the coming of Messiah.

After the defeat of evil, there will be a rejoicing led by a shining LIGHT

paving the way to a perfected world filled with goodness and celebration. In

fact, there is one place in the Talmud that says that after the coming of the

Messiah, the only holidays celebrated will be Shabbat and Purim.

There are four mitzvoth that facilitate our celebration of the holiday and

recognize the power of standing up in the face of danger as a key to salvation:

• Megillah: Reading the story of Esther in the evening and the morning

from a scroll. As we read the Megillah, we are reminded of the

importance of standing up to tyranny and how each one of us can be

an agent of redemption.

• Mishloach Manot: Sending gifts of two types of food to at least two

different friends. You can take part in this with our Sisterhood but it is

also meritorious to make a few small gifts on Purim day, spreading

Purim cheer to those who might not otherwise receive such gifts.

• Matanot L’eviyonim: Giving money to the poor (beyond your regular

contributions). There is no joy greater or more rewarding than to

gladden the heart of the poor, orphans, widows and strangers. For by

doing so, we are following the example of The Divine.

• Seudah: Partaking of a festive meal on the day of Purim, which we

hope to do as a community in the future. The Purim Feast is especially

significant in that it elevates the soul as it provides pleasure to the body.

Each of these mitzvoth, in their own unique manner, encourage us to

see ourselves and even act as direct agents of personal and communal

transformation and salvation.

Exactly one month after Purim comes Passover (April 8-16), the foundational

holiday of our people, providing the ultimate model of the Jewish people

coming together as they journey from slavery and oppression to freedom

and redemption.

As part of the Seder, we open the door and sing to Elijah the Prophet.

The reality is that Elijah is not even mentioned in the traditional text of the

Haggadah, rather it is simply something that we are supposed to know –

Elijah will visit us on this special night. When re-telling the journey from

subjugation to redemption, we should be so immersed in the experience

that we don’t want to end the story when we open the door for Elijah. We

hope he comes in his fiery chariot to announce the coming of our final redemption.

Both Purim and Passover focus on how we, as the Jewish people, are to

continue the task of working towards that final redemption – paving the way

for the time, when Elijah The Prophet arrives, bringing news that we have

created a world filled with justice, love, and holiness and the time for our

redemption has arrived.

President’s Brunch in Its

9th Successful Year

March 29 is the 9th Annual

President’s Brunch, one of the largest

fundraisers of B’nai Moshe’s year. I

might add that it is one of the most fun

events of the year as well. One annual

attendee once told me that it is his favorite

event because “you get a good meal, there are no long

speeches and it doesn’t last too long.” How’s that for an

endorsement!

I have told this story before but perhaps you have not

heard it. Several years ago during Dan Sperling’s first

presidency, while I sat as one of his vice-presidents, the

Executive Committee was tasked with creating a fundraiser.

The Executive Committee and Board conceived and

approved an idea for a fundraiser. However, after further

evaluation we realized that the proposed fundraiser would

not meet our fundraising goal. So back to the drawing board

we went. One evening in December 2011, Lisa and Dan

Sperling, my wife Elyse and I conceived of the idea of the

President’s Brunch. In the spirit of true transparency, two

bottles of wine were consumed during that Saturday evening

brainstorming so you are welcome to draw your own conclusions.

We made the President’s Brunch black tie to make the

event feel and look special. The room is set up beautifully,

the tables dressed in beautiful cloth, the food delicious, and

the entertainment worthy of a big stage. Sure, no brunch is

worth $500 a plate regardless of how much lox you stack on

your bagel but over the past eight years no one has left the

brunch feeling that it wasn’t worth every penny.

The goal was to create a signature event and I think we

succeeded by all measures. So how about the fundraising

aspect? Over the first eight years, due to your attendance

and support, the President’s Brunch has brought in more

than $294,000 to B’nai Moshe! The goal has always been to

spend no more than 10% on the brunch itself, so B’nai

Moshe has netted $265,000 since its inception. I know I

speak for everyone involved when I say thank you and we

truly could not have done it without you.

If you have come to the President’s Brunch in the past

you know what a great event it is. If you have considered

coming, make this year’s event a reality. It is understood

that attending may not be in everyone’s financial capacity,

but you are invited to donate to the event to whatever level

you can, all the while knowing it goes towards keeping B’nai

Moshe a welcome home for the metro-Detroit community.

It has often been said that we should all live to be 120

(being the number of years of Moses’ life). In this coming

year B’nai Moshe will celebrate our 110th birthday. With

your help, your attendance and your generosity we will all be

here in 10 years, God-willing, to celebrate our beloved B’nai

Moshe turning 120. �

Being a Minyanaire is much more than just being counted in

daily services. Being a Minyanaire is being an integral part of

our community. It is a way of contributing to your fellow

Jews. A traditional way to have a regular chat with God. A

time to see old friends and make new ones. A way to know

that you really do count at B'nai Moshe.

Morning services begin at 7 a.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.

Sundays. Afternoon/evening services are held Sunday at

5 p.m. and Monday—Friday at 5 p.m. Once daylight

savings time begins on March 8 our Monday—Friday after-

noon/evening services will change to 6 p.m. Join us!
