RABBI DR. GIDEON M. GOLDENHOLZ HAZZAN MICHAEL S. KRAUSMAN 

Throughout Jewish history, the Passover Seder has become 

more than just a ceremony that we perform. Its intended goal is to 

establish a mood and context in which we not only read about the 

story of the Exodus, but recreate it as well. We gather as a family 

and eat matzah, as did our enslaved ancestors in Egypt; and we recline 

as we drink four cups of wine. At the Seder table, we take 

pride in declaring our freedom. 

The Torah describes for us that God instructed the Jewish people 

that, while they remained indoors protected from the death 

and suffering God inflicted on the Egyptians that night, they were 

required to eat the Pesach sacrifice, matzah and maror. That the 

Jewish nation ate the sacrifice and had time only to eat matzah 

that night makes perfect sense. But why did an enslaved nation 

have to eat bitter herbs? What reminder of the suffering could 

they have needed? They had not even left Egypt at that point in 

time! The requirement to eat maror in Egypt, however, suggests a 

profound idea. While surrounded by darkness and not yet glimpsing 

the light of dawn, the Israelites began to imagine themselves 

as free men and women. While remaining seated around their 

meager tables in Egypt, they had the spiritual courage to imagine 

a different time and place. While daring to feel the excitement and 

challenge of an imagined new life as they “tasted” the future, they 

needed to eat from the bitter herbs in order to remind them of the 

oppression. 

We can do the same. As we eat maror, we too, can have the 

courage to imagine ourselves in a brighter and exciting future. 

We can imagine a better, more peaceful and safer world. We can 

imagine being liberated from challenging economic times. We can 

imagine a world free from oppression and terror. 

As we approach the holiday of our liberation and spiritual birth 

and growth. 

I extend to each of you and your family a Chag Kasher 

V’sameach. 

Rabbi Dr. Gideon M. Goldenholz 

OUR FOUNDATION CORNER 

Lawrence Wiener, CLU, ChFC, AEP 

In our last newsletter we discussed the gift annuity program 

available through our Temple Endowment Fund. The article 

was focused on fulfilling the financial needs of those individuals 

who rely on fixed incomes. There is, however, another 

group who can use this form of instrument to great advantage. 

We pay a high price for the right to die in this country. It is 

called the Estate Tax. Currently, anyone with an estate in excess 

of $2 million dollars is required to pay as much as 55% tax. 

Some assets are doubly taxed, both income and estate (IRA’s, 

insurance annuities, pension assets etc.). A gift annuity with 

our Endowment fund can reduce both of these taxes without 

necessarily reducing the inheritance a person can leave to children 

and grandchildren. Should you be interested in pursuing 

such a relationship or learning more about techniques utilized 

to minimize taxation, help the Temple and get more to your 

heirs, get in touch with the Temple office. 

Pesach is the Jewish holiday during which family traditions are 

established and nurtured. As we begin cleaning the house, inviting 

our guests and preparing for the Seder, a flood of magnificent 

memories and joyful experiences is unleashed in our hearts and 

minds and in those of our children. It is incumbent upon us, as 

parents, to carefully create these magical memories and craft them 

for our kids so that they will have wonderful experiences that will 

last a lifetime and beyond. 

Adding to the experiential nature of the Seder, is an extremely 

effective way of accomplishing this mandate. This task can be accomplished 

in many different ways- some quite simple and others 

a little more involved. An easy way to begin is by supplying toy 

percussion instruments, such as tambourines and drums, so that 

even the youngest of the family can participate in the Seder. Another 

simple but effective way to engage our children is through 

props, puppets and costumes. Using toy elements of the plagues, 

asking participants to dress as characters from the Passover story, 

such as Moses or Pharaoh, or using puppets to act out part of the 

story, are all work well. Experiential games are also quite effective. 

For example, we begin our Seder by handing out cards with the 

names of each element of the Seder as well as an appropriate picture 

on them. As we progress through the evening, each participant 

is asked to look at the card they have been given and, at the 

appropriate time, to affix it by Velcro to the board at the front of 

the room. A close friend often writes clues to the location of the 

Afikomen on the back of a jigsaw puzzle, which all of the participants 

must work together to assemble in order to find the hidden 

Matza. 

Of course music is a key component of any successful Seder. 

Make sure to allow time for the children to sing all of the songs 

they learn in school. Individualize the Seder by having guests and 

relatives with different traditions share their favorite melodies. It 

is also important to allow children every opportunity to ask questions 

and to offer information they have learned – it is a great opportunity 

to show them how much you value Jewish Education. 

In addition, the Seder can be also be individualized by asking relatives 

and guests to share their own stories of liberation or escape 

from oppression, poverty or any other such adversity. Even telling 

the history of your special Kiddish Cup, Seder Plate or other Seder 

element will enhance the personal nature of your Seder. Such stories 

give an immediate quality to your Seder celebration. 

To truly make your Seder celebration an experiential occasion, 

try erecting a “tent” in a room other than the dinning room in 

which to conduct the Seder. In any event, it is a good idea, especially 

for families with children, to have the beginning of the Seder 

in a different location than the meal. This has the added advantage 

of giving the children opportunity to move around and not be “enslaved” 

in one room. One can simulate liberation from the tent in 

the dessert to the luxury of the modern dinning room. 

Of course, the preceding are only a few of many possibilities 

that exist to add unique meaning to your Seder. One final suggestion, 

however, provide a variety of Haggadot for both children and 

adults. Modern versions of the Passover eve service have explanations, 

activities, beautiful pictures and other tools to stimulate in-

BEN CUPERMAN, FSA 

Executive Director 

Our present Board has just met for the last time before the annual 

election and subsequent installation. Under the leadership of 

Judy Wiener this Board demonstrated what it means to lead by example. 

Working tirelessly days and nights our leaders helped guide 

the Temple to new levels of excellence. Membership outreach and 

retention was very skillfully executed this past year. All new members 

signing up described their appreciation for the Temple Sinai 

warmth, not only to me but to their friends and relatives as well 

leading to more members. Our PR and marketing efforts set a new 

standard for excellence that the new Board will ensure continues. 

Temple Sinai of Hollywood has been working hard to meet our 

budgetary goals, and with the national economy suffering a new 

reality we will depend even more on your financial support as we 

continue our pursuit of a growing and vigorous membership base. 

We all know it can be done. Reaching into your pocket or finding 

the time to participate in committee work is always challenging but 

oh so rewarding. 

Look around you next time you are in the Temple and ask yourselves 

if you like what you see and feel and then take the lead by 

giving of yourself. It is well worth it, for yourselves, your children 

and community. 

L’ Shalom

CARYN GRAINER DUNN 

President 

“Leadership has been defined as the ability to hide your panic from others” 

–Anonymous 

It is with humility and gratitude that I assume the role of President 

of my beloved Temple Sinai. 

Whatever your politics, we have this last American Presidential 

election witnessed the introduction of a new concept long overdue- 

the opportunity of each person to make a difference, to rally, 

to participate, to have a voice in our future, regardless of financial 

status, age, job or education. Energy and support was drawn, motivated, 

from across our country and across the world. The key – 

COMMUNICATION. Even though we have inaugurated a new 

President, I still receive e-mails asking for my help and my opinion. 

An American educator once wrote that, “The greater the loyalty 

of a group toward a group, the greater is the motivation among 

the members to achieve the goals of the group and the greater the 

probability that the group will achieve its goals.” 

We are a family. Each family member has a talent, has something 

to offer, regardless of age or status. Do yourself a servicejourney 

with your leaders to achieve the goals of our family. While 

we, as your leaders, will listen to you, go outside of yourself and 

help the common goal. 

That goal is to keep our Temple thriving, to keep our Temple 

hamish. I realized the depth of my commitment to the Temple 

when I started picking up garbage on the lawn. It’s my home. 

Dates and times of committee meetings will be announced in 

our publications. If you are a teacher, presently or have been a 

teacher, join the education committee. If you are a past or present 

leader of any organization, join the membership committee. If you 

like to cook, help prepare Shabbat onegs. If you can read Torah or 

Haftorah, great! You get the idea. 

I keep asking myself, about this economic stimulus package: why 

stimulate from the top, why the trickle down theory? As Jon Stewart 

said, why not trickle up? 

We can only be as successful as our member’s loyal and motivation, 

when we interact, when we trust that we all have the best interests 

of the shul at the center of our heart and when we 

communicate- being informed of the joys and the obstacles. 

Always ask: What can I contribute that will be in the best interests 

of Temple Sinai’s continued health? 

To our always everywhere past President Judy Wiener- your 

boundry-less service to our shul serves as a role model of how one 

persons vision can lead to endless achievements. We thank the 

past executive Board and General Board for their service. 

I am thrilled with the talented persons who have agreed to serve 

our shul the next two years as members of the Executive Board 

and Board of Directors. A huge resource, I will call upon the past 

leadership, Presidents and the Board members alike, for their support 

and to help resolve issues so as not to recreate the wheel. 

Grab on to the energy. The reward is heavenly.

SISTERHOOD NEWS 

Lisa Stein Cohen & Sharon Burak, Co-Presidents 

This year’s Sisterhood Shabbat was a beautiful event, and 

chances are you already know this since the there was a tremendous 

turnout. The concept of inclusion of all women, young and 

old was well received and it was a very empowering day for the 

women of the pre-egalitarian generation (like me). Our guest 

speakers, Genie Blaher, Florida President and Blanche Langer, 

Regional Chair of the Women’s League for Conservative Movement 

provided informative insight into the direction and progress 

of this most valued organization. 

Our Torah Fund luncheon was well attended with 35+ Sisterhood 

members. Our able chairs, Lois Nonkin and Rita Feldman 

provided an informative Women’s League speaker, Amy Hymes, 

Torah Fund V.P. for Florida Region, on the growth of the Torah 

Fund Projects. 

Torah Fund is one of the largest fundraisers of Women’s League 

and proceeds go to the continuation of Jewish education by making 

donations to such institutions as The Jewish Theological 

Seminary (New York City), Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies 

(Los Angeles) and Schechter Institute ( Jerusalem). Our ever 

helpful Judy Schwartz hosted the function in her beautiful home. 

A big thank you to all the women who helped set up and especially 

to the “cookers and the bakers” who make our luncheons 

gourmet! (There is usually a Sisterhood member in the office, so 

just come in if you wish to purchase our beautiful Torah Fund 

cards for special occasions or make a charitable donation.) 

IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR “NAOMI’S ANNUAL

KASSELMAN SCHOOL NEWS 

Donna Anton, Director 

It was very simple to be a part of our school mitzvah project 

called “TREES TALK.” All you had to do was write on a paper 

leaf your family’s mitzvah story or one you had planned for the 

near future, decorate it, and return it to your child’s teacher. Once 

all the leaves were collected, they would be displayed on our 

blooming trees in the school’s hallway. The trees started to grow 

as parents returned their leaves and my heart began to kvell as I 

read them. Please let me share some of their stories with you. 

“We planted a lemon tree in our yard. The fruit will be made into 

lemonade, which we will sell. The money will be sent to a fund to support 

families injured by terror in Israel. I’m also donating some of my 

birthday gifts to JAFCO.” 

“I helped change my sister’s diapers and I sing to her when she cries.” 

“We helped hurricane victims.” 

“Sometimes the playground balls get thrown over the fence and stuck 

behind the bushes. Mom and I get them out and put them back in the 

playground every day.” 

“The mitzvah that our family did was giving tzedakah.” 

“I helped to catch a bunny rabbit.” 

“I take good care of my cat, Sophi. I played with my toys with her and 

give her special treats.” 

“I helped my grandmother all day. I carried her purse for her and told 

her that I was doing a mitzvah. Later I helped her sort out her newspapers 

and while visiting with her I helped my grandmother cook dinner. 

I told my mom all about my mitzvah helping grandma and she 

was very proud. “ 

“My family and I participate in races. The money raised goes to good 

causes and we get to exercise together!”

shy and only communicated with me with a simple nod of the 

head. Aware that Brentin’s living situation was a complicated one, I 

made sure that the days he would spend with us would be full of laughter 

and fun. One day I decided it would be fun for my son and Brentin 

to meet. Instantly, my son took Brentin’s hand, and held it all the way 

to the playground. I was amazed at the immediate connection they had, 

and knew that my son and I had done something wonderful for this 

child. Slowly Brentin began expressing the happiness he could not express 

before. That day, Brentin cried as I brought him home and my 

son cried later, too, wondering why Brentin couldn’t sleep over. This 

will be the last month we will see Brentin, for he will be moving to Orlando 

with his mother. Tears of joy and sadness fill my eyes as I think 

of how this child has touched not only my heart, but my son’s heart too. 

He will never be forgotten. We love you Brentin!”

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL NEWS 

Sabrina Mueller, Director 

Shalom Lekulam, Everybody 

It has been an incredible month at the Religious School!! We 

are working in two knowledge areas: 1) Jewish Identity, Customs 

and Values 2) Hebrew Language and Prayer Skills. 

Hands on activities are the main ingredient to make the learning 

fun and participative. 

We chose Shabbat as the unit to learn and experience during 

January. We baked challah while learn the meaning of this Jewish 

bread; we made candleholders, and sent these items home with the 

hope our families will use them and light every home on Fridays. 

We had a one-day workshop of Challah called Let’s Challabrate in 

which we invited the mothers to have a special feminine moment 

while baking challah. 

Students from Vav and Zayn (sixth and seven graders) started 

their preparation for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah. We’re very happy to 

offer this new program every Tuesday. Students join the Mincha 

Service as a part of their Jewish heritage and study with the Kantor 

Torah, Haftarah chanting and Hebrew reading. 

We are working on our Tu B’shevat Seder. We will dance and 

sing to the Holiday songs and as a treat Kindergarten will be in 

charge to perform a special play. 

It is very important that children feel the connection between 

the Religious School and home. We’re sending home every Friday 

a newsletter with all we’ve done that week and upcoming activities. 

Education is a partnership between school, parents and students. 

We are willing to make the school a supportive and inviting Jewish 

community. 

Beyond all of the differences that stand between us, we are all 

the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We are all one family, 

with one land, and one destiny... This is the Mitzvah of Ahavat Israel.

terest and discussion. 

One of the most important mitzvoth of Pesach is “V’Higadita 

L’Vincha,” of teaching and transmitting our rich and ancient heritage 

to our children. By investing a small amount of preparation 

and planning you can help foster the creation of eternal experiences 

and memories that will not only live in the hearts of your 

children, but will transmitted by them to future generations of children 

and their children’s children.

SHARE-A-MEAL PROGRAM 

Since the December Share-a-Meal morning occurred just before 

the Jan-Feb Bulletin went to press, we are combining that 

date with the recent February meal preparation. Thank you to 

Mark and Lois Nonkin, Micha and Eva Fireman with son Micha, 

Michael Stern, Ruth Heimsohen, Fred Hochsztein with AJ and 

Jocelyn, Linda Levine, Diane and David Snyder, Audrey Branse, 

Paula and Steve Platt, Sam Monchek, Ruth Ann Valdman with 

Edon, Sarah and Adam, Steven and Eileen Samilow with Jared 

and Matthew, Marjut Herzog and Judy and Larry Wiener. These 

names were taken from the sign in sheet. We thank Entenmann’s 

Thrift Bakery for continuing to supply us with dessert and the 

Melines for their continuous donation of toothpaste and 

toothbrushes. Everyone pitched in to help make the brown bag 

lunches and toiletry bags that we then served to many very needy 

individuals one hour later in the Broward Outreach Center’s 

cafeteria. 

Our February 15th date was very similar. But we want to thank 

Steve Platt, Don Levine and Andy Wiener for taking charge of 

this February making and serving date while we were out of town. 

The report from our son is that it went very well and they had 

much help preparing and serving the meal. Good feeling that we 

can go away and know that everything will run smoothly. Thanks 

crew! 

Next Share-a-Meal Date: Sunday, April 19th, 11:30 

in Cafeteria 

Bring hard boiled eggs in shells in carton and toiletries. 

There was a time when Sarah’s chicken soup 

was the highlight of every Passover Seder. 

This year, Sarah cannot afford the ingredients 

to make a pot of soup. 

The Passover Haggadah teaches, “Let all who 

are hungry enter and eat.” With your support, MAZON 

will honor this tradition by helping people like Sarah.

The Mishnah claims there is more than one Jewish New Year. According to Seder Moed, 

Tractate Rosh Hashanah, the four New Years are: 

On the first of Nisan (circa April), the new year for the kings and for the festivals; 

On the first of Elul (circa August), the new year for the tithing of animals; 

On the first of Tishrei (circa October), the new year for years…and for the planting. 

On the fifteenth of Shvat (circa February), the new year for trees according to the House of Hillel 

The Temple Sinai Green Team seems to be in harmony with this cycle. The Green Team was borne 

from a conversation at one of Judy Wiener’s summer pool parties (around the first of Elul). We announced 

the changing of light bulbs in the sanctuary and social hall to compact fluorescents 

on Rosh Hashana (first of Tishrei). Our efforts continue with a new paper recycling program, 

our first green fundraiser, and the planting of a Biblical Garden at the temple on Tu B’Shvat (the 

fifteenth of Shevat). 

To be successful, the paper recycling program needs community participation. The more often we fill the new bin, the more money we 

raise for Temple Sinai; if we do not fill the bin often enough, the company turning our waste into newspapers cannot afford to service us. 

To that end, we hope to fill our paper recycling bin twice by the first of Nisan (April first) to complete a cycle of New Years and new 

beginnings as a “green” temple. We urge each of you to take the paper pledge! If just 100 families commit to bring their paper waste to 

Temple Sinai, together we will generate 4,000 pounds of paper per month! This paper gets recycled and Temple Sinai receives $$$! 

All these projects highlight the Green Team’s commitment to “green” Temple Sinai, help members experience Judaism’s ancient connection 

to the environment, and build a sustainable community together.

HAZAK 

Join Us For a Very Special Shabbat Morning 

We had a good start to our dual meeting with Hazak of Temple 

Beth Ahm Israel. They did a book review of the book "The 

Zookeepers Wife" which was very well received. This book is well 

worth reading if you have not already done so. 

On March 8th we will join with them 

again to see the show "The Boychick 

Affair" at Emerald Hills C.C. at 1 pm 

for the show and a sumptuous buffet 

lunch. It should be a lot of fun as this 

show got very good reviews in the press. 

On March 22nd there will be a BBQ 

at the home of Jack Lubin, former president of the Hazak regional 

board at his home in Pembroke Pines. It is open to all Hazak 

members of both groups. 

On March 26th there will be a Hazak Conclave at Temple Beth 

Ahm Israel in Cooper City from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm with the reknowned 

speacker from United Synagogue N.Y., Rabbi Moshe 

Edelman, Director of Leadership Development. There will be 2 

sessions and a delicious hot lunch. It offers camararaderie with 

our other Hazak groups and should prove to be a delighytful day. 

The cost is $18. for Hazak members and $20 for guests per person.There 

are flyers at the Temple for reservations for these events 

so please, either call Lois Edelstein, 954-981-4270 or Shari Balmuth, 

954-431-4705. 

We need your support if we are to continue with our Hazak 

programming. We would like to feel that we have something to 

offer our "older set" of congregants.

Karaoke at Temple Sinai of Hollywood 

Saturday Night, March 7th 2009 at 7:30pm 

KARAOKE (a mixture of Japanese kara, "empty," and okesutora, "orchestra") pronounced ka-ra-oakie/; is a form of entertainment 

in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music (and/or a music video) using a microphone and public address system. 

The music is typically a well-known pop song which has no lead vocal. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen, along with a 

moving symbol or changing color and/or music video images, to guide the singer. In some countries, a karaoke music video with 

lyrics and the option to disable the original voice track is called a KTV. Some people incorrectly spell it "kareoke". (source 

Wikipedia). 

So, the questions are: 

1. Was the above definition important to you? 

2. If it was or it wasn’t, would you like to try karaoke? 

3. If you have already tried karaoke, would you like to try it again? 

4. Would you like to hear your friends and family give karaoke a try? 

If any of the answers to the above questions were “YES”, then you need to join us for the first ever 

Temple Sinai Karaoke Night on Saturday March 7th 2009 at 7:30pm. 

RABBI’S DISCRETIONARY FUND 

To Fred Hocksztein & Family in your honor from Heidi Rosz 

The family of Dr. Joe Stein extends sincere gratitude to 

Temple Sinai for the love and support given to us at this most 

difficult time. Joe loved Temple Sinai and you returned his 

love. His wishes were that any donations in his memory be 

made to Temple Sinai Hazak or Jewish National Fund. 

Entrance is free, and there will be refreshments available for a small charge. 

Ear plugs will be available for a large charge and all proceeds will go to research for curing tone deaf singers. 

We look forward to a great night of music, fun and laughter. 

So, regardless of how you spell it, Karaoke is coming to Temple Sinai on Saturday March 7th 2009 at 7:30pm. 

For more information, please sing “Help” very loudly or call the Temple Office on 95- 987-0026.
