Erev Shavuot and Affirmation
Come join us Tuesday, May 18, at 7:00 pm as we celebrate the holiday of Shavuot and Affirmation
of our 10th grade students. The ceremony of Affirmation is a time when our oldest students in the
school affirm their identities as Jews, a process that was started when they were consecrated and
continued past their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. It is a group ceremony that affirms the importance of the
"peoplehood of Israel." Come and celebrate with our students as they affirm their participation in
both the people of Israel and our Congregation Sinai. Oneg to follow service.
And then...Study into the night!

Why do synagogues matter? Simply put, they provide
a place to meet three intrinsic human needs: the need to be-
long; the need to believe; and the need to become.
It’s been said we Jews are a hopelessly communal
people. We want to belong, to feel noticed and needed. Unfor-
tunately, we participate in so many communities,
we feel only an attenuated sense of allegiance to
any one group. The soccer team, the civic group,
professional associations, the boy scouts and
brownies, each of these lays partial claim to our
attention, based on a limited set of mutual inter-
ests.
We relate to each as a consumer. The
synagogue is different; it’s a community of cove-
nant. Relating to a community as a consumer is
different than relating to it as a covenantal part-
ner. Where the consumer approach to community
is transactional, the covenantal approach is relational. Where
the consumer approach is contingent, the covenantal ap-
proach is committed. Where the consumer approach is indi-
vidualistic, the covenantal approach is communal.
In contrast to the consumer approach, synagogues
are intended to be a covenantal community of caring, a place
where each person is noticed and valued, his accomplish-
ments communally celebrated, her losses collectively
mourned. Reform synagogues, in particular, present a radically
inclusive approach to community, embracing Jews irrespective
of color, sex, status as an interfaith family, age, or sexual ori-
entation. Such diversity not only strengthens our community; it
models Judaism’s most central and enduring values.
An important caveat: as every volunteer knows, the
laws of physics don’t apply, as we know them – when we get
involved in the synagogue, we often get back much more than
we give.
The synagogue is also a place to explore one’s beliefs.
As Jews, we tend to stress the importance of action over be-
lief, but it’s in a reform synagogue that you would be more
likely to encounter a conversation about one’s relationship
Rabbi’s Corner
Page 2 May-August 2010
with God. The spiritual quest is alive and well and openly
embraced.
Today’s challenge to belief centers less on the nature of
God, and more on the truth of the Torah’s moral message. In
our multicultural society, we are taught that what’s right for
you may be right for you and wrong for me. When
subjected to the caveat of relativity, the Ten Com-
mandments can be reduced to the ten sugges-
tions.
It’s become impolitic to express the belief that
the Torah speaks clearly and universally about
what’s right and wrong. Indeed, I feel the Torah
didn’t get it right every time, e.g. the death pen-
alty for Sabbath desecrators or homosexual rela-
tions, but Jewish law provided a corrective when
science overtook ancient erroneous assumptions.
Occasional errors aside, the Torah provides a
framework for justice that is True with a capital ―T‖ and
ought not be marginalized through the lens of multicultural-
ism. To assert there is an ultimate right and wrong might not
be politically correct, but it is the irreducible essence of Pro-
phetic Judaism, and if we consider that message seriously,
we’ll be doubly motivated to act on our beliefs, to bring jus-
tice and compassion to the world.
Last, the synagogue provides not only a place to
belong and act on our beliefs – it also is a place to become.
Just as Judaism is not a static set of beliefs and behavior,
but rather is constantly evolving, each of us is somewhere
on our ―Jewish Journey.‖ No matter where you are on that
journey – even if you’re at the beginning! - the synagogue
provides a place to experiment, to learn, to reflect, explore
and discover, to be empowered, and to experience life en-
riched with a sense of meaning and a sense of purpose.
Belonging. Believing. Becoming; three intrinsic hu-
man needs, each of which can be met through involvement
in the synagogue. Think about it. The S.S. Sinai sets sail
soon and we’d love to have you aboard!
Rabbi David Cohen
WHY BELONG TO A SYNAGOGUE?
From the President
I have learned from being president of Sinai that
each day I have a lot to learn. "I've
learned that people will forget what you
have sai d, peopl e wi l l f orget
what you have done, but people will
never forget how you made them feel."
And that speaks to our warm and caring
congregation.
Sinai is a blessing. We need to
care for it and nurture it. We need to
experience our personal mitzvah mo-
ments by volunteering. The power of
ONE resonates for each of us. We want to have our precious
time commitments to have purpose. Let’s make that happen
by being an active participant in synagogue life. This last
month I helped with the Purim festivities. I am always grati-
fied when I see the tireless dedication of volunteers. Jill,
Bobbi, the Brotherhood, Jenni, Annie………the list is endless.
It reminds me that our synagogue is a place where commu-
nity is created and strengthened. Our volunteers come in all
shapes and sizes. Some are retired and choosing to devote
time to the synagogue, others are working and raising chil-
dren; yet all manage to find ways to give back to the commu-

In college, I drove a four-door Honda Civic. It was
black, and the New York State license plate on the back read
QTPIE24. No I’m not kidding, and yes, I am slightly embar-
rassed to admit this to you all. Nevertheless, Potsdam was
about eight hours from Long Island, and every time it came to
break, my friend Philly Greco and I would get into my Civic
(with whomever needed a ride), and Philly - always proudly in
the front seat, would announce: ―here we go Becca - its all
about makin’ time.‖ Sometimes this went to an
extreme. A voice chimed from the back seat
―hey Becca, can we stop so I can use the bath-
room?‖ ―Hold it for 20 miles,‖ Philly chimed in.
―We’ve gotta make time.‖ To this day, I cannot
get in a car for a road trip without thinking, ―OK
- we gotta make time.‖
In 2010, we often find ourselves strug-
gling to ―make time.‖ ―Take this route to Chi-
cago...we’ll make better time.‖ ―I would love to
have coffee with you! Let’s see when we can
make some time.‖ ―Yes! Let’s take our kids on
that bike ride. When can we make time?‖
For some of us, making ―Jewish time‖ is an added
challenge. Can we fit in lighting Shabbat candles this week?
What about going to temple to celebrate this holiday or that
holiday? But looking around here at Sinai, I can’t help but
see just how much time we all are making to be one dynamic
community. Whatever you like to do, wherever your passions
lie, there’s a way to get involved in your Jewish community
here at Sinai. Like to hike? Call Bobbi Rector and put some-
thing together with Sinai Outside! Theatre junkie? Sarah
Hwang can help you put an event together for Culture Con-
Page 3 May-August 2010
nection. Love to explore new recipes? Jill Weinshel can’t
wait to welcome you to Sinai Cooks to cook and chat! Ready
to start training for that 5K? Call Carrie Ellerbrock, and she
can help you set up a group here at Sinai to train with.
Under the leadership of Program Coordinator Jen
Friedman, Membership Committee chairpersons, Elyse Cohn
and Carrie Ellerbrock, a dynamic environment of diverse and
interesting opportunities is emerging at Sinai. Look right here
in this edition of the Sinai news...the ―My Sinai‖
page will direct you to countless activities, events
and opportunities that can connect you to this
kehillah kedoshah - this holy community.
At Sinai, community is our cornerstone,
and the opportunity for you to connect comes
wherever you want it to be; in song with our volun-
teer choir; in prayer at Friday night services; our
Saturday morning minyan; in learning in our Beit
Midrash on Tuesday evenings; at the theatre; in
nature; on the river; in the kitchen...you name it.
If you’re making time for it, we can help you make
that time in your Sinai community.
We look forward to seeing you around the building
and around town with your Sinai community...and we can’t
wait to hear what you’d like to see! Your passion has a place
in our community, and we can’t wait to ―make time.‖ You can
reach Carrie with your ideas at [email protected]. And
check out what’s going on around here in May, June and
through the summer - I know there’s something you just don’t
want to pass up!

nity they feel has given them personal growth and meaning.
I also helped with the Chaverim Seder. The upcoming B’nei
Mitzvah families participated by making a special dish for
this special Seder. We welcomed challenged adults into our
synagogue and we became a family. Cantor Robins led the
seder with her musical talents and her ruach (spirit). When I
looked at all of the faces around the table, I knew I was the
beneficiary; I was fortunate to be there that day and be help-
ing. I was in the right place.
Become involved. You are a proud member of a
special synagogue that helps you learn more about your
Jewish connection. Avail yourself to take advantage of what
Sinai has to offer. Join us in prayer, take a class, participate
in social action, consider a family volunteer project like the
family garden, help with a meaningful program. Make a
difference; fulfill the mitzvah of tikuun olam (repairing the
world.) You can create the Jewish memories that sustain us,
those memories that we instill in our children as hope for fu-
ture generations, and we can join together to sustain a com-
mitment to our shared future.
Personally, I always remind myself that Sinai is home
to me. I come here when I need to find peace, I come here
looking for an answer to the prayers of my heart. Together we
can all celebrate the beauty of our Jewish traditions.
Our family has shared many special simchas with our
congregation. In June my husband Michael and I are celebrat-
ing our 40
th
wedding anniversary. We want to celebrate once
again with our synagogue family. Please join us for an outdoor
Shabbat service and oneg on July 2

Primary Grades
My challenge for those of you with your precious
young children is to allow them to have a childhood. Children
learn by imitation so give them Jewish actions to imitate. Al-
low them to just play, use their imaginations, and create their
own art. Encourage them to try things and answer their ques-
tions the best you can. Help them learn to set limits and to
have hope for a wonderful life. Show them that helping others
is a wonderful Jewish value. Finally, allow them to seek God in
their own way, providing for them alternatives and perhaps
reading with them Jewish tales and Jewish books.
(Visit our library if you need some!)


Teens
This is the time when young Jews must challenge
themselves and others. It is a time when they must be valued
for themselves, no matter what personality they are ―trying on‖
and becoming. Remember that our Biblical fathers, Jacob and
Joseph grew up. Help them see you continuing to learn and
doing Mitzvot. Help them to examine the values behind their
actions, and find out what they like about their friends, music,
games, sports, etc. Remind them that prayer is an option
when they despair, and that Jewish tradition can provide a
safe structure during times of stress.
Help them find ways to be Jewish while they are trying
to be like everyone else.
Adults
I challenge you to learn something Jewish and new
each week if possible, or at least once a month. We all have a
lot to learn. Seek out opportunities to participate in acts of
loving kindness (chesed) and to learn. There are wonderful
Jewish teachers all over Milwaukee, you can seek out teachers
at URJ Kallot, summer programs and special events. In addi-
tion, there are many resources on-line. Remember that Hillel
said ―In a place where no one behaves like a human being,
you must strive to be human.‖ And Hillel’s rival, Shammai sug-
gested that one way to do that is ―Make Your Study of Torah a
Fixed Habit.‖
Intermediate Grades
At this time of children’s lives they need to explore the
heroes, symbols, and languages of our Jewish tradition. As
they begin to recognize that they are Jews, give them Jewish
books, music, and ceremonies to learn, and to eventually lead.
Help them to cherish their diversity. Take them to services
and sing and pray with them. Ask them to read with you their
Hebrew school and Religious School texts. Discuss with them
their questions, especially the ones in which they begin to
question the Biblical accounts of the world. Remember to help
them understand that science talks about the ―how‖ of crea-
tion and Judaism the ―why‖ of creation!
Dr. Sherry H. Blumberg, Director of Lifelong Jewish Learning
Sadly, this is my last article to you all. In my two years at Sinai, I have tried to live by Rabbi Chananya’s words: ―When
two people sit and words of Torah pass between them, the Divine Presence rests between them.‖ As I say farewell and thank
you, it would not be me, if I did not leave you with a challenge to go and learn more.
First my thank yous….To Rabbi Cohen, my student and friend, you model a person who con-
tinues to learn and who loves it. To Rabbi Brickman for leading a wonderful Shabbat morning experi-
ence of prayer and study. To Cantor Robins, your beautiful voice enriches the prayer experience. To
my school secretaries, Nicole, Deborah, and now Jeri Danz, thank you for making my work possible
by helping with the smooth running of the programs. To Connie, Stacy and now Jen and Karen, as
well as Karen and Ilene, thank you for a delightful working environment. To Tim and Dick for all their
work and help keeping the school and congregational programming going. To my superb school
chairpersons, Sarah Skebba, Annie Golding and Jennifer Goldbaum, and Jim Beer, my adult educa-
tion chair this past year, thank you for your energy and enthusiasm as well as your creativity and ad-
vice. To the wonderful teaching staff and the madrichim (student assistants), blessings upon you for
your work with the children and their parents. Thank you also to the parents of our children who
drive and ―schlep‖ and are concerned with creating our next generation of Jews. Thank you to the
members of the board and a wonderful group of office volunteers for your hard work and time, Thank you to those of you who
have opened your homes to David and me and shared eating and speaking together. Mostly, thank you to the children of the
school, and all of the adult learners who open their minds and hearts to learning. Judaism survives on your willingness to learn
and grow.
Two years are not enough time to make the important changes needed to make the educational experience at Sinai
one of excellence. But time and circumstances ―Shift‖ and so I am reminded of the words of Rabbi Tarfon: ―You are not re-
quired to complete the work, but neither are you at liberty to abstain from it.‖ I have worked hard for you and for Jewish educa-
tion here at Congregation Sinai in these past two years. The task is not complete. Learning needs to be unbounded, transcen-
dent, continuous, interactive and social. I pray that what has been begun does not end but only grows intense. God Bless you
all with wisdom, compassion, a sense of justice, and a thirst to keep learning.

Erev Shavuot at 7:00 pm in the evening.
We congratulate the following students
and their families:
Hanna Holman, daughter of Jodi & Alan Holman
Caleb Hunnicutt, son of Susan & Carter Hunnicutt
Jonathan Lopez, son of Sharon Madnek
Jennifer Pereles, daughter of Susan & John Pereles
Andrew Phillips, son of Nancy & Scott Phillips

the main sanctuary.
A celebratory oneg will
follow the services provided
by the families in their
students’ honor.

Yisrael Neeman spoke Friday night, April 16th at ser-
vices about his special community in Israel where religious
and secular Jews lived together, working out the issues and
problems. On Saturday, April 17th he addressed the problem
of the Hamas Covenant and demonstrated how it is con-
nected to the Moslem Brotherhood’s anti-Semitism, not to
Palestinian Nationalism. He recom-
mended that Jews needed to be ac-
quainted with the philosophic posi-
tions of Hassan AlBanna and Sayyed
Qutb, the thinkers who write that we
are in a ―struggle against the Jews‖
and that we must ―obliterate our
enemies.‖
The learning Shabbat on the third week of the month
will continue. On May 21
st
, Dr. Blumberg will speak about the
Women’s Torah Commentary. As a member of the editorial
committee, Dr. Blumberg participated in the inception of the
project, and now uses this commentary to teach here at Con-
gregation Sinai. Dr. Blumberg will speak during the 6:15 pm
service.

Join us on Friday, May 21

Dr. Sherry Blumberg and her contributions to Sinai.

“Scene” at Sinai
A costume contest, shuk, music, wine, Persian din-
ner and the Megillah. All of these contributed to the fun of the
third annual ―Café Sinai,‖ on Purim this year, Saturday eve-
ning, February 27th.
Cantor Robins, Eti Ganin and Bobbi Rector’s Megillah
reading was met with spirited responses by a crowd of 80
revelers. A shuk featured handcrafted jewelry, photography
and personalized canvas bags. And the Fundraising Commit-
tee sold Sendiks Scrips (debit) cards and Tribal Blends cof-
fees, by Alterra. Greening of Sinai demonstrated uses for my-
lar and plastics. Mitbach (Kitchen) Sinai, headed by Sinai
member Jill Weinshel, prepared a buffet dinner of grilled ka-
bobs, eggplant and other delicious dishes and desserts. Si-
nai member Bill Rickards presented a program on Persian
history, symbols and customs as they relate to Jewish prac-
tices of Purim and Pesach. Goldfish, the familiar Purim carni-
Purim at Café Sinai
val give-away, are also a symbol of Narwaz, the Persian New
Year, he said. Both fall on the astrological calendar in the
sign of Pisces (fish).
The evening ended with a DVD showing of Eurovision
1973-2004, a compilation of Israeli artists singing and danc-
ing at the European song festival.
Café Sinai offered a wonderful opportunity for our
members to gather and enjoy their community. There are
many people and committees to thank for their commitment
and dedication to making this night a great success: Eti
Ganin, Sue Kimmel, Jim Stillman, Jill Weinshel, Sue Fishbach,
Bill Rickards, Jim Salinsky, Paul Rector, Mike Weinshel, Jerry
Salinsky, Jen Friedman and the Sinai staff, Women of Sinai
and Brotherhood for donating the beverages, and Rich Taylor
for donating his photography services for the evening.

"It is so rare that we
get an opportunity to
share our goodness in
such a meaningful
way," said Cantor Re-
becca Robins on Tues-
day, March 15th. She
was speaking to volun-
teers assembled in
Congregation Sinai's
kitchen just before
they welcomed special
needs adult members
of the Harry & Rose
Samson Family Jewish
Community Center's
Chaverim program for a Passover Seder in the Social Hall.
Chaverim Seder
Assisted by Chaverim Director, Hazzan Carey Cohen,
Cantor Robins led the Seder, which featured many beautiful
stories and songs. Some 45
Chaverim members and their
caregivers were served a lunch
of gefilte fish, potato kugel,
carrot tsimmes, tuna salad,
fruit and grape juice prepared
and served by volunteer partici-
pants of Mitbach (Kitchen) Si-
nai. Three sixth-grade congre-
gants, Amanda Jacobs, Ilana
Friedman and Benji Cohn, all
students at Maple Dale School,
took some time from school to
assist with serving and making
the guests feel welcome.

The crocuses and daffodils are up in my yard and the
birds are singing each morning. The Women of Sinai body
and soul emphasis continues. Yoga meets weekly in the Wor-
ship and Learning space with our instructor Susan Lubar-
Solvang. We have definitely benefited from the stretches,
relaxation and breathing techniques. New members
are always welcome.
580 pounds lost! Yes, the Weight Watches group
has had tremendous success. A new session will be starting
Cantor Robins Sings our National Anthem
One hundred and ten Sinai fans will join Cantor Re-
becca Robins in a joyous celebration of America's pastime on
May 16th, 2010 at Miller Park as the Milwaukee Brewers
take on the Philadel-
phia Phillies (7 pm
game). It has been
rumored that Cantor
Robins has some mis-
guided sentimental at-
tachment to the team in
red but that she is also
starting to feel the good
vibes that the Brewers
bring to our fantastic city on the lake. That being said, we are
in for a great time and are encouraging all who come to
wear something that is in the category of "Brewers blue" or
some other appropriate Brewers gear in order to demonstrate
our solidarity of identity as a congregation.
The game will be preceded by a tailgate party in the
parking lot NORTH OF THE EXPRESSWAY (enter off
Bluemound Rd.). Please arrive early since that parking lot
tends to fill up quickly. The tailgate (look for our collection of
helium balloons) will last from 5:30-6:30 pm and grilled bur-
gers, hot dogs, soda, juice, beer, side dishes, will be pro-
vided. Each person who attends will get a complimentary
bag of peanuts/cracker jack provided by the Sinai Brother-
hood.
Tickets should be picked up at the Sinai office begin-
ning Friday, May 1st. Rain or shine, win, lose, or extra in-
nings, we should all have a great time cheering on our Cantor
and our favorite team! The Brotherhood is thrilled at the
great turnout and is looking forward to sharing this family
event with all. By the way, please bring a camera, we need
some new pictures on the Sinai website. Play Ball!
on May 20th, let me know if you are inter-
ested in joining this healthy life style. We
will be able to get E-tools as well at that
time. So, come join our very friendly group
of weight reducers! You can contact me
at [email protected]

Shalom Chaverim!!
The leadership and members of Emet VeShalom
hope you and your community have a Hag Pesach Sameach!
During Passover we will hold services and a festive congrega-
tional Seder on the second night; many in the congregation
enjoy participating in the second Seder for the sense of spirit
and community feeling.
The community of Emet VeShalom has been
busy! We are happy to share some highlights of our year with
you…
Purim is celebrated with Great Merriment
We celebrated Purim with great merriment. After
Havdalah, the reading of the Megilat Esther was followed by a
children’s costume parade, klezmer music, a light supper of
pita, hummus and hamantaschen, and continued dancing
into the night. Everyone enjoyed participating in this event
with the wonderful sense of spirit and community that perme-
ates all our Shabbat services and holiday celebrations. We
also took part in the annual Ad Lo Ya Da municipal parade
through the center of Nahariya with other groups and schools
from the area and shared in the joyful carnival like atmos-
phere that surrounds Israel during Purim.
While the Rabbi is Away Youth Lead Services!
Congregants enjoyed the services led by our youth
during Rabbi Horowitz’s vacation in Argentina. They joined in
the prayers and singing with their usual spirit and afterwards
expressed great pride in the young congregants who con-
ducted the services so ably.
English Speaker’s Club Continues!
Emet VeShalom English Speakers’ Club features
speakers on topics affecting Israel and Judaism. This is the
only forum providing the opportunity for English speakers in
the area to gather and hear interesting and relevant discus-
sions. All in attendance were stimulated by the recent lecture
by Manny Socolovsky [Major Reserves] on The Information
War. A native of Pennsylvania, Manny Socolovsky has lived in
Israel since 1980 on Shavei Zion (2 kilometers south of Na-
hariya) since 1987. He was an Infantry officer, a former com-
pany commander, and he has served as an army spokesper-
son since 2003. Manny spoke about how he explains the
official IDF perspective on the Second Lebanon War to jour-
nalists, politicians and other visiting delegations.
Emet VeShalom Youth to attend Israel Reform Movement's
Youth Group (―Noar Telem‖) Weekend Conference in the De-
sert!
Members of our youth are looking forward to attend-
ing an outing in the desert during Pesach vacation with other
Noar Telem youth from around the country. It is an important
opportunity for our future leaders to meet and share experi-
ences as they build the Reform community in Israel.
Friendship from Abroad is Meaningful to Emet VeShalom!
Members of Emet VeShalom had the pleasure of
hosting Rabbi Stanley Miles of Temple Shalom in Louisville,
Kentucky, Rabbi Aryeh Azriel of Temple Israel in Omaha, Ne-
braska, Rabbi Leah Herz of Temple Israel in Canton, Ohio and
Temple Israel President John Spera during their recent trip to
Israel.
We are grateful to our friends abroad for their contin-
ued friendship and support; we enjoy participating in projects
with them which bring our community and theirs closer to-
gether by exchanging ideas about Israel, Progressive Judaism
and our heritage.
We invite you and your congregation to learn with us
and be part of our overseas family; your membership will help
ensure the future of our egalitarian congregation which offers
northern Israel a place to express Jewish religious and spiri-
tual identity in an open environment. Both women and men,
daughters and sons, have a place to celebrate life cycle
events on an equal basis and share in a complete and equal
religious life.
We are grateful that our community, the only Reform
congregation in Nahariya, is flourishing and going from
strength to strength. We extend an invitation to you to visit us
when you are in Israel. Celebrate Shabbat and holidays with
us! Visits to our community and contact and support from our
friends abroad are very meaningful to us at Emet VeShalom.
On behalf of the leadership and congregation of Kehillat
Emet VeShalom, we wish you a Chag Sameach!

seeds and set the tending schedule for the summer. We
need folks to sign up for watering or weeding or both through-
out the growing season. Sign up for the week of your choice

Happy Spring!
Greening of Sinai
On Friday, February 19th, Congregation Sinai hosted
representatives from ―Miklat!‖ and the New Sanctuary Move-
ment for a discussion of Jewish perspectives on the contem-
porary immigration debate.
As Rabbi David Cohen noted in introducing the pro-
gram, no fewer than thirty-six times the Torah exhorts Jews to
―remember the heart of the stranger, for you were strangers
in the land of Egypt.‖ The Rabbi further noted that given the
history of the Diaspora, ―an empathic response to immigra-
tion and immigrants is encoded in our DNA.‖
Professor Rachel Ida Buff, a history professor at Uni-
versity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, discussed efforts of ―Miklat!‖
to educate and promote discussion of immigration issues
within the Milwaukee Jewish Community. ―Miklat!‖ is a local
organization that seeks to create a Jewish response to the
current ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) policies
and the effect of deportations on individuals, families and
communities. Buff noted that for many Jewish Americans
immigration is an issue that is relevant to the experience of
their own families in this county. She also applauded the
work of Voces do la Frontera, a local organization working on
immigration issues.
The speakers addressed the current concerns of the
families of undocumented workers who face stepped-up de-
Sinai Hosts Miklat!
tection and enforcement efforts by ICE in the post September
11 world. Of particular concern is the effect on the families
of workers facing deportation when the children are U.S. Citi-
zens and have been raised exclusively in this country. Other
challenges for current policy include the problem faced by
young people who have been raised in this country, achieved
success and distinction in school, but face a troubled future
because of their undocumented legal status.
Many Sinai members in attendance drew parallels to
the experience of their own families in immigrating to the
United States and the sometimes-hostile reception that Jews
have felt as ―strangers‖ in various countries throughout his-
tory. The group also discussed recent legislative efforts to
address the problems, including the ―Comprehensive Immi-
gration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of
2009,‖ which would both strengthen border security and re-
form some of the harshest aspects of current U.S. immigra-
tion policy.
The Social Action Committee continues to discuss
and promote ways for the Congregation to be involved in this
important social issue. To get involved or contribute to the
debate, contact Social Action Committee co-chairs Idy Good-
man: [email protected] and Craig Johnson: johnson-

Sinai Outside—Paddling
Our first paddling adventure will be on Sunday, May
23rd (weather permitting), beginning at 12:30 pm. We have
some Sinai folks who have expressed interest in pad-
dling.....but we would like more.
We will be canoeing and kayaking
on the Milwaukee River. We may
see giant blue heron, osprey, wild
turkeys, various ducks, and the
non-elusive Canada goose. The
exact location depends on water
levels, and whether participants
have any prior paddling experi-
ence. Please contact: Jan Letven
at [email protected] or 414-540-9755, by May 13th, so
that we can know how many canoes, paddles, and lifejackets
will be needed.
Our second outing will be at night, under the full
moon, on June 26th (weather permitting) in downtown Mil-
waukee. Milwaukee by water, with the twinkling bridge lights,
and the glow of the full moon, is quite amazing. Please con-
tact: Jan Letven at [email protected] or 414-540-9755 for

cousins at his family’s cottage on Cedar Lake. For his mitzvah project, Alex has chosen to collect gently
used soccer shoes, equipment and cash donations for underprivileged children in Jamaica.
Alex’s maternal grandmother, Lucia Schaub, will be greatly missed at this wonderful family
celebration. She loved Alex very much and took great pride in his many accomplishments.
Alex and his parents would like to thank Rabbi Cohen, Cantor Robins and Linda Ross for their
support and guidance.

Sinai softball begins May 4th and will continue with games through
the first week in August. This year there is a league tournament Sunday, July
18th at Kletzsch Park that will run from morning through early evening. Hot
dogs, soda, etc. will be sold by the Milwaukee Maccabi Youth Delegation as a
fundraiser for their trip to the games in Richmond, Virginia.
The team is looking for some under 50 men who are interested in
helping transition from the "old" group to a new, younger, group that will con-
tinue Sinai's winning ways for the next 5-10 years and beyond. Cost to join
includes being a currently paid up member of the Brotherhood ($36 annual
dues) and to also pay a $25 assessment for the league play. This translates
to about $2 per game and is a real entertainment value! (We always are en-
tertained by the quality of our play!) There are 14 Temple affiliated teams
that play in this league and it is a modestly competitive
league. The emphasis is usually more on having fun
rather than winning.
If you are interested in joining the team for the
summer of 2010 please contact Marc Kartman ASAP at
[email protected]. Bring a friend, bring your
A game, (or actually your B-Z game will do.)

We look forward to seeing you on the Diamond!

My Sinai Summer
Here is some food for thought as we bask in the
warm summer months in Milwaukee – eat locally grown
food! The benefits are numerous, and it is easy to do
here in Milwaukee, as farmers markets and community
farms surround us. Locally grown food travels a shorter
distance, so it reaches your kitchen as a much fresher
and better tasting product. And since there is less travel
time, there is less pollution produced. Small, local farms
are less likely to use hormones and more likely to raise
grass fed or free-range animals. Organically grown vege-
tables keep you and your family free of questionable
chemicals. Eating local means more for the local econ-
omy. Did you know that a dollar spent locally generates
twice as much income for the local economy? When
businesses are not owned locally, money leaves the com-
munity at every transaction. And keeping family farms
alive keeps rural landscape alive, supporting less sprawl.
Consider the ―dirty dozen.‖ According to the Envi-
ronmental Working Group (EWG), consumers can reduce
their pesticide exposure by 80% by avoiding the most
contaminated fruits and vegetables, which are: spinach,
potatoes, celery, bell peppers, strawberries, raspberries,
pears, peaches, nectarines, grapes, cherries, and apples.
The EWG has written a Shoppers Guide that includes this
list as well as the ―Clean 15,‖ a list of conventionally
grown produce items that have the lightest pesticide
load. The Shopper’s Guide can be downloaded free at
www.foodnews.org. It is also available as an iPhone ap-
plication.
There are nearly 20 farmers markets in Milwau-
kee County that operate through the summer and fall

months. To find one near you, go to http://
www.jsonline.com/features/food/43343697.html. Also,
consider purchasing a share in a CSA (Community Sup-
ported Agriculture) farm. There are 14 Milwaukee-area CSA
farms. Most take share reservations for the next growing
season, which runs June through early November, in the
fall. There are several outstanding restaurants in Milwau-
kee that serve locally grown produce. Check out Roots on
Hubbard Street, or Café Manna in Brookfield (3815 N.
Brookfield Ave,), which is the only restaurant in the state of
Wisconsin that is certified by the Green Restaurant Associa-
tion.

How can you beat summer in Wisconsin? Very little
humidity, very blue skies, and everyone is outside enjoying
everything southeast Wisconsin has to offer! And inside, our
staff begins preparing for fall - for the High Holy Days.
As President, I love seeing our entire congregation,
their friends and extended families come together to cele-
brate and reflect as we welcome a new year. Like you, I
await Rabbi Cohen’s wisdom, and the melodious sounds of
Cantor Robins, the choir and our musicians with a sense of
joy, anticipation and excitement for what will be in the year
to come. I look forward to greeting friends - new and old - as
we enjoy one another’s company in our beautiful sanctuary,
and pray and learn together at this holy time.
This year, I am especially excited to wish you and
your family Shanah Tovah at a new Family service. Erev
Rosh Hashanah, at 5:45 pm, we will gather as families with
children in third thru sixth grade to welcome the new year in
story and song with RabbiCohen and Cantor Robins. This fam-
ily-friendly worship opportunity will enable you to worship as a
family, head home for dinner, and join us again in the morning
while adults pray in the sanctuary, and your children learn and
pray in our school. Along with all of our other dynamic and
creative prayer and learning experiences during the holy days,
this family experience is sure to be a warm and wonderful way
to start 5771.
Michael and I wish you and your family the sweetest
of new years - Shanah Tovah u’metukah.
