their own—in order totell their children on thatday. We found genera-tions of Haggadot on thestage at CKI. Among myfavorites are one by EliWeisel and A DifferentNight.
2. Try a new recipe—andkeep the old ones. (Seepage 2.) Try makingcharoset from a different country. Jewsaround the world celebrate Passover, andcharoset is not just apples, walnuts, wine,with or without raisins, honey, or cinna-mon.
3. Invite guests to celebrate with you. Themore the merrier.
4. Collect your unopened chametz and giveit to the poor
5. Try doing the seder differently—create aBedouin tent, sit on the floor in the livingroom to really experience reclining (greatfor families with young children).
6. Have people write their own FourQuestions or their own Dayenu.
7. Have the children act out the four sons(children) or the story (maggid).
8. Watch “The 10 Commandments.” It is sureto be on at some point that week.
9. Have finger puppets or masks for the 10Plagues. I have had them for years, butsaw them again at the CKI gift shop.
10.Consider traveling. It maybe too late forthis year. But what about next year? Nextyear in Jerusalem, or, next year in theMoab desert of Utah with the AdventureRabbi.
What I have learned, and need to relearnevery year, is that it’s OK not to get sostressed about Passover. (And I still will.) It isOK to not clean under the refrigerator. It is
Blu Greenberg, the author of Howto Run a Traditional JewishHousehold, says that the dayafter Purim, her preparation for
Passover begins. This book, together with 1001Questions and Answers on Pesach Questions,becomes my bible during Passover. There arealways lots of questions about Pesach. Askthem. The answers may surprise you! I amavailable to answer them, to have debatesabout Ashkanazi and Sephardic practices, toguide you through what is OK and what is con-sidered not OK. In times past the Shabbatbefore Passover was one of two times the rabbigave a sermon. I’ll spare you the sermon.
At CKI we have already begun the thinking, thescheduling, the hard work that goes intopreparing for Passover. And let’s face it,Passover is hard work.
Passover requires us to clean. But the dustbunnies under the refrigerator and theschmutz on the windows are not reallychamatz—I am hoping you were not planningto eat them. So what is with this spring-clean-ing-on-steroids ritual? I don’t think it is so weare so tired when we get to the first night’sseder that reclining is all we can do.
Because Passover is also fun. It is uplifting. Itcelebrates freedom and spring. It is the ulti-mate educational experience. We are com-manded to tell our children what the Lord didfor us when we went forth from Egypt. What?We were there? That is what the midrash tellsus. All of us were there and were led out ofEgypt, out of Mitzrayim, with a strong hand andan outstretched arm. The word Mitzrayim isinteresting. While we translate it as Egypt, ithas a sense of being out of the narrow places.Each of us, at some point in our lives, haveescaped out a narrow space. That is what free-dom is about.
How, then, do we get out of the trap of clean-ing for an entire month only to be too tired toenjoy the freedom that Passover celebrates?
1. Try a new Haggadah. I have an entire col-lection in my office. Every generation writes

March 25, 8:00-9:00 am—Fast of the First Born,Siyyum Hasefer. For those of us who are firstborn, on the day before Passover, in recogni-tion of the Angel of Death passing over theIsraelite houses and sparing the first born, wefast. UNLESS we complete studying some-thing. Then we are commanded to have asiyyum hasefer, a party of the book. My projectduring this preparatory season is to reread themidrashim about the women of the Passoverstory. Come learn about Miriam, Yochabed,Shifra, Puah, Zipporah. Then break your fast onsomething yummy that will hold you for therest of the day. Not a first born? Come studyanyway.

As I write this article after a mostsplendid, awesome, and fantasticweekend—our 120th Anniversary
Celebration weekend—I am so thankful toeveryone who participated.
The weekend started with the return of “FridayNight Live” at the Friday Shabbat service. Thiswas my first experience with this event and I soenjoyed the evening. We welcomed DaveKaptain, the Mayor of Elgin, who read aProclamation from the City of Elgin congratu-lating us on our 120 years in Elgin. We had agreat service, followed by a very delicious onegprepared by our Sisterhood and sponsored bythe 120th Anniversary Committee.
Saturday morning Shabbat services were veryspiritual and inspirational, and were followedby a Kiddush also prepared by Sisterhood andsponsored by the 120th AnniversaryCommittee.
Due to “Nemo,” the snowstorm on the EastCoast, the Robert Klein dinner and perform-ance were postponed to April 21, 2013.
The culmination of the Celebration Weekendwas a brunch prepared by Becky AlbertCatering and sponsored by the 120thAnniversary Committee. The entertainment bythe Maxwell Street Klezmer Band Quartet andthe dancing was such a tremendous delight.Representative Keith Farnham was in atten-dance, and he read a proclamation from theState of Illinois in honor of our 120th anniver-sary. The afternoon culminated with a videopresentation that was assembled from ourTorah School students’ interviews with ourlong-time members. They were asked aboutdifferences at CKI from when they were youngercompared to CKI today. Great job to all who hada part in putting the video together!
I am so proud to be the President of CKI at thistime and being able to honor our PastPresidents at our Celebration Brunch:

President’s Message (cont’d from page 2)
The Purim Carnival was a huge success and lots of fun was had by all!! Purim is the holiday thatfalls on the 14th of Adar and is observed in celebration of the deliverance of the Jews from a mas-sacre by Haman. The Torah School Students enjoyed dressing up in their costumes, doing arts andcrafts, playing games and getting their faces painted! The Megillah reading (which is a reading fromthe Book of Esther) was a chance for the children to do what they do best—make lots of noise!!
Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped with serving food, set up and clean up, as well as facepainting and managing the games! Special thanks to Sue Zemel, Barb Razowsky, Amy Robinson,Sabina Bernstein and Marcy Cohen-Tremmel for planning the event.

DefEATing Hunger
We had our first CKI garden planning sessionSunday, Jan. 27. Many important decisionswere made regarding the site, size and somecrops. Several congregants expressed a desireto participate this spring, but do not want todrive distances to get to the garden. Inresponse to that obstacle, we decided to have3 smaller locations: DefEATing Hunger EAST: wewill plant a raised bed at Judy and Mike’s eastside residence; our WEST location is at thehome Eva and Rich Kruth; and our CENTRALHEARTLAND location will be a raised bed atCKI. Many thanks to both the Kruths and theGantz/Rubenstein-Gantz for offering not onlyplots of land, but also the use of tools on-siteand free water. Plan to participate! This is agreat opportunity to spend family time togeth-er; be a role model for your children and teachthem both Jewish values and nutrition.
We are still in need of more volunteers—twosite managers (West, and Central). The CEN-TRAL HEARTLAND location gardens is slated tobe planted for Earth Day (on Sunday, April 21)at the synagogue. This will be the CKI Torahchildren’s garden consisting of cool weathercrops such as salad greens and herbs such asparsley. Many of the transplants will be theseedlings the children planted on Tu B’Shevatwith the help of Rabbi.
In support of our project, we have received alarge donation of seeds from Ball SeedCompany.
Special Volunteer (See form on page 11)
Katie (minor’s name withheld) has decided thatfor her Bat Mitzvah project she is going to bethe Co-Site Manager of DefEATing Hunger,Central Location, here at the shul! I could notbe more proud of her. In addition to theadministrative duties of scheduling volunteers,she also intends this project to be a mini-MBAprogram including speaking about communitygardening, educating and mentoring theyounger volunteers, and planning activities; aswell as being a terrific role model. One of hergoals is to enlist a Torah School parent to bethe other Co-Site Manager. You could not havea more capable and dedicated co-SiteManager. Please contact Katie or myself.
In addition to the physical CKI garden,DefEATing Hunger also is actively working toenlist other houses of worship, civic groupsand service organizations to also create gar-dens and donate 100% of the harvest to Foodfor Greater Elgin. I was invited to be the guestspeaker at both the February Hadassah meet-ing and the February Cosmopolitan Club, ElginChapter, in addition to “manning” a table at theElgin Alive Volunteer Fair held on Feb. 19 andalso made a “plug” at the Elgin HispanicNetwork where I met several dedicated peopledoing some wonderful things with at-risk kids(who have the potential of being the first inthe families to go to college). I am also tenta-tively slated to be the speaker at the April Elgin

If you or your group has any food in the freezer or refrigerator, it is now time to start removing it. Anything left as of the 17thwill be disposed of.
Also, last year we had a wonderful group of volunteers who helped clean the stove,saving the Sisterhood over a thousand dollars. It involves, basically, disassemblingthe stove, cleaning it, and reassembling it. I won’t fool you, it is a big job. If youwould be willing to help that Sunday afternoon, please let me know.
