Turn to page 3 for a full Scholar-In-Residence weekend schedule! Pursuing Justice and Justice Justice, justice, shall you pursue,” the Torah teaches. Why does the text repeat the word “justice?” Here is one explanation. The Torah may be teaching us to pursue justice by helping individuals and to pursue justice by working for change in society at large. Helping individuals does tikkun olam, repair of the world, on a sort of retail basis, one person or place at a time. Helping change society does tikkun olam wholesale. The two cannot be isolated. For example, we help eradicate hunger by feeding the hungry, but we do not get to the root of the problem unless we act to change the conditions that lead to hunger. Here at Temple Ohabei Shalom, we have a unique opportunity to pursue justice in both ways during May. It starts on our second annual Mitzvah Day, Sunday, May 6. Last year’s inaugural Mitzvah Day drew hundreds from our community to assist individuals in need. This year, the opportunities to help have expanded exponentially. Millie Krakow and Susan Zeiger of our Social Action Committee have done remarkable work in making this year’s Mitzvah Day a program that will truly have something that everyone can do. They have been ably assisted by our synagogue and religious school staff, including the indefatigable Sammy Sasswho is volunteering here as part of her final semester in high school. They have also been helped by a cadre of dedicated volunteers. Please join us as we do tangible work to make individual lives better than they have been. Two weeks later, on Friday, May 18, to Sunday, May 20, we shall be hosting our third annual Scholar-In- Residence program, now sponsored by a generous gift from the estate of Bernice Siegel. Our Scholar will be Rabbi David Saperstein, Executive Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. In his almost three decades at the RAC, Rabbi Saperstein has become one of the best known and most forceful Jewish advocates for social justice alive today. I have had the pleasure of working with him, and I know of few speakers more capable than he of inspiring us to get involved in changing the underlying conditions in our society. Our Social Action Commitee, led by Joe Kriesberg, and our Adult Education Committee, led by Denise Miller Green, deserve credit for bringing Rabbi Saperstein here. You can find a full schedule of events on page 3 of Tidings and online at www.ohabei.org. It is no coincidence that the volunteers for Mitzvah Day will be honored at our Friday night Scholar-In- Residence service on May 18.

Pursuing Justice and Justice “Justice, justice, shall you pursue,” the Torah teaches. Why does the text repeat the word “justice?” Here is one explanation. The Torah may be teaching us to pursue justice by helping individuals and to pursue justice by working for change in society at large. Helping individuals does tikkun olam, repair of the world, on a sort of retail basis, one person or place at a time. Helping change society does tikkun olam wholesale. The two cannot be isolated. For example, we help eradicate hunger by feeding the hungry, but we do not get to the root of the problem unless we act to change the conditions that lead to hunger. Here at Temple Ohabei Shalom, we have a unique opportunity to pursue justice in both ways during May. It starts on our second annual Mitzvah Day, Sunday, May 6. Last year’s inaugural Mitzvah Day drew hundreds from our community to assist individuals in need. This year, the opportunities to help have expanded exponentially. Millie Krakow and Susan Zeiger of our Social Action Committee have done remarkable work in making this year’s Mitzvah Day a program that will truly have something that everyone can do. They have been ably assisted by our synagogue and religious school staff, including the indefatigable Sammy Sasswho is volunteering here as part of her final semester in high school. They have also been helped by a cadre of dedicated volunteers. Please join us as we do tangible work to make individual lives better than they have been. Two weeks later, on Friday, May 18, to Sunday, May 20, we shall be hosting our third annual Scholar-In-Residence program, now sponsored by a generous gift from the estate of Bernice Siegel. Our Scholar will be Rabbi David

Saperstein, Executive Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. In his almost three decades at the RAC, Rabbi Saperstein has become one of the best known and most forceful Jewish advocates for social justice alive today. I have had the pleasure of working with him, and I know of few speakers more capable than he of inspiring us to get involved in changing the underlying conditions in our society.

President’s Message Leonard Davidson Last month we once again enjoyed the Boston Marathon. I have loved watching the Marathon since I was a little kid. It was even more difficult this year, with the rain, wind and unseasonably cold weather. Nevertheless, my daughters and I stood outside to watch the race and to cheer on the athletes, although there were significantly fewer spectators this year. We shouted encouragement and applauded the efforts of so many. I am always impressed by the dedication, effort, commitment and willpower of the athletes. Tens of thousands of runners compete, although only a very, very few have any realistic chance of winning. It is the kind of inspirational experience that requires no explanation. Running the Boston Marathon is an accomplishment, and for the vast majority of the runners, it is a question of doing their personal best and finishing the course that matters most. It struck me that we at TOS have a lot in common with the Boston Marathon. We are the oldest and most historic congregation in Massachusetts. That is a proud legacy. It requires a lot of effort to keep the Boston Marathon going and the same is true for TOS. It is worth it for both. The effort requires the dedication of many individuals who show great loyalty and effort, both paid staff and valuable volunteers. The organizers know that the route is basically the same, but every year there are changes, improvements, new “looks”, new participants, and new sponsors. The history and traditions are critical to uphold for the people who want to give their personal best and complete the course here. A marathon is about preparation and commitment. We have seen wonderful preparation and commitment at TOS this past year in so many areas. Although I have never (and will never) run an actual marathon, it is easy to see that to run the race successfully requires physical training and stamina as well as mental toughness. It is all too easy to quit along the way, to give up or give in when the going is tough. In Boston, Heartbreak Hill comes at a time in the race when the runners are already fatigued and when the course still has some miles to go. But if you make it past Heartbreak Hill, it is pretty much downhill from there, both literally and figuratively.

Annual Meeting of the Congregation June 7, 2007 at 7:00 p.m.

Please join the Temple Ohabei Shalom community as we celebrate another wonderful year and look towards next year with our installation of officers. The Slate of Nominees is listed below:

There are Heartbreak Hills in a Temple’s course as well. And every year we face new issues and challenges. With the well-timed hiring of our new cantor and executive director, and the renewed vigor and “second wind” that I have seen among so many of our members, I truly feel that we have now passed Heartbreak Hill successfully this year. As is the case with most marathoners who complete the course, there are no laurel wreaths or other tangible rewards for doing so. But there is a very satisfying feeling that we have given our personal best, are finishing this year’s course well, and are justifiably proud of having been involved in another year of running the race together.

From the Desk of… Shari Churwin It is difficult for me to believe that another school year is ending as there is so much happening in our community in the coming weeks. I believe that Mitzvah Day is the true example of how we can teach our students to live a Jewish life. It is the principle of Tuikkun Olam (repair of our world) that unites us as a community and an ideal that we should be sharing with our children, young and old. As I see it, it is a perfect culminating event for our school as it puts all that the students have learned into action. PLEASE plan to join us on Mitzvah Day by completing the registration form that was sent to you last month or by clicking on the link on our new website (www.ohabei.org). May also brings with it the TOS Scholar-In-Residence weekend which is a manifestation of the commitment to education that our community embraces. It is this dedication that I am so proud of. This year we have once again shown why we are so special. From the increased participation in the JOSTY regional shul-in (where we welcomed over 250 teens from the New England region) to all of our family education events and to the wonderful way that our BOSTY students (grades 5 & 6) led our congregation in worship this winter, it seems as though each month had an exciting event that brought us together. One of the cornerstones of our program is our wonderful corps of teachers and staff who each contribute in their own way to make our school such a special place. It is important to acknowledge Jeff Wexler, Kate Mikesh and Kim Singer for all of their individual and collective contributions. We have been lucky to have Jeff and Lauren Wexler as part of our community for the past five years. Jeff has recently informed us that that they will be moving to Ithaca, NY this summer where Lauren will pursue a MBA at Cornell. We are very excited for them as Lauren has received a full scholarship for her studies. Jeff has really made a difference in the lives of our students and families. Both Jeff and Lauren will be missed. We will celebrate Jeff and Lauren on Friday, May 11at the ARS Shabbat. There we will thank them for all that they have given to us while at the same time honoring our accomplishments as a school and our grade 1 students for completing their studies of the aleph-bet at their Siyum haSefer. The service will be followed by a Shabbat dinner for the entire TOS family (reservations required). I look forward to celebrating with you during the month of May!

Social Groups Brotherhood news May 2007 by Robert Pierson Spring continues to be a very eventful time for TOS Brotherhood. We hope that all TOS congregants and TOSB members commemorated Yom HaShoah Day by reflecting and lighting the Yellow Candle supplied to them by Brotherhood. We do ask for those who have not considered making a donation to support the Yellow Candle Program, by sending in a check to TOS, ATT: Brotherhood. Thank you. On Tuesday- April 17, Lauren Herman- Program and Membership Director of the Workman’s Circle of Brookline informed participants of Social Actions and Yiddishkayt activities of the Circle in a stimulating discussion. Our Annual Brotherhood Breakfast of April 29th was a big success, with Dr. Steven Katz presenting a thought provoking pespective on American Judaism. With much feeling, Ben Adler, Man of the Year, was presented with a Mahogany clock engraved with words of appreciation for all he has done for Brotherhood and TOS through his many years of involvement. The food was great, as usual, thanks to Jason and many participants excitedly took away their winnings from the great selection of silent auction and raffle items. A special thanks go out to Spence Gould and Alan Shepro who once again did stellar work on placing ads and putting together our program book. Thanks also to Brotherhood Board member Barry Lyons for handling the printing of the program book. On Monday, May 14th, TOS Sisterhood and Brotherhood will be hosting a joint potluck dinner and event entitled: Memories of the Shtetl. The evening will include the showing of a movie with this same title. It will be followed by a 20 minute video of a Brotherhood member’s mother in her shtetl in 1937 at age 14 with her family, most of whom perished. This will be followed by discussion. Potluck begins at 6:30 PM in Lissner Hall. Sisterhood is taking charge of the Potluck, though brothers will certain contribute. Please RSVP with Ben Adler at 617-489-3013 by Thursday, May 10th if you plan to attend. On Sunday, May 20th, please join us for ‘Breakfast with the Brothers’ at 10:30 AM, as part of our Scholar-In-Residence

weekend, featuring Rabbi David Saperstein who will speak immediately following a light breakfast. Suggested donation is $5 per person. RSVP to 617-277-6610 or [email protected]. SAVE THE DATES: We are ending off the year with a bang!! Saturday, June 9th Brotherhood Shabbat at 10:15 AM. Rabbi Alpert has offered to help brothers who wish to learn a line or two of Hebrew to read from the Torah. To get involved with the service, contact Ben Adler at 617-489-3013. Monday, June 11th Final Brotherhood dinner meeting and SPECIAL FINALE- Brotherhood and Monday Adult Learning present ‘An Evening with Osvaldo Golijov’. Our 6:30 dinner meeting will include the election of officers for the New Year. At 7:30 everyone is invited to hear Osvaldo Golijov, world renowned contemporary classic composer and recent grammy award winner for best classical and opera compositions. Details to follow. Lastly, please remember to turn in your ‘Butcherie’ receipts to the TOS office and ask that they be left in the Brotherhood mailbox. The Butcherie gives a percentage of these receipt sales to TOSB!! Sisterhood Big thanks go to Amy Hozid who prepared this year's Sisterhood Shabbat with its timely theme of peace. SAVE THE DATE: At 6:30 Monday May 14 there will be a ground-breaking combined Sisterhood/Brotherhood event. It will begin with a Potluck dinner. Ladies, bring what you usually do. Brotherhood will also contribute food. After dinner we will present a CD documentary called Memories of the Shtetl, followed by a film of actual Shtetl scenes from the life of Robert Pierson's mother. This should be a wonderful glimpse into the window of our past. Club 55+

New Service Time At a recent meeting, on recommendation by the Adult Learning Committee, the Board voted to move the time for Saturday morning services from 10:15 to 10:30 a.m. This will allow Rabbi Alpert to teach a weekly Torah study class every Shabbat morning starting at 9:00.

BOTH THE NEW TORAH STUDY CLASS AND THE REVISED SERVICE TIME WILL BEGIN ON

Until the change, Rabbi Alpert will offer another Sunday Morning Torah Study on

TOS Member, Karen L. Weber and business partner, Marie Richa, were the only 2 Massachusetts representatives during Climate Crisis Action Day on Capitol Hill, March 20, 2007. They had an information booth about Green Roofs and lobbied our state's congressmen to provide incentives. Senator John Kerry intends to help with green roof legislation. This fits wonderfully with the synagogue efforts to fight global warming.
