Religious Practices Message

Melissa Immel & Mark Wolkow

How many of us thought that last year's virtual Seder would be virtual

again this year? Probably not many of us... but that's the way things are

shaping up, at least for the vast majority. So once again, we will celebrate

virtually this year. Please note that our "community seder at home" will

be observed on the first night of Pesach rather than the second night, as

the first night falls on a Saturday evening this year... March 27th.

Additionally, we will celebrate Shabbat with virtual services at 7 pm

each Friday night in March, featuring music by Mike Mullis on the 5th

and 26th, Linda Needel on the 12th, and David Jaffe on the 19th.

We will continue to monitor the State and Federal guidelines in our

planning for re-opening; however, we have no firm dates for re-entering

the building for religious services. In the meantime, we encourage you to

bookmark the Temple Home Page and/or the Temple Calendar to keep

up with the latest events and Zoom links.

Shalom, and we hope to see you on Friday nights for Shabbat Live on

Zoom!

B’Shalom,

Mark Wolkow & Melissa Immel

Kehillah MAGNET Message

Joel Yoffee

Hello Temple Adas Shalom Community,

We hope everyone is continuing to stay safe at home! Due to current COVID viral

levels, safe virtual learning will continue into 2021 and for the foreseeable future.

Our virtual learning programs for all grade levels would not be a success without all

of you! Please continue to keep up the great work!

Kehillah MAGNET needs a new Religious school Principal for the next school

year, 2021/2022. Interested persons should contact me, Joel Yoffee,

at joelyoffee@gmail.com for additional information.

Job Qualifications Include:

- Commitment to lifelong Jewish education for adults and youth.

- Dynamic leadership skills to inspire participation from a diverse constituency of congregants and

families with a variety of goals and priorities.

- Strong teaching skills.

- Knowledge of Hebrew language, Jewish life and culture, and Reform Judaism.

- Ability to hire, inspire, support and evaluate teachers.

- Strong communication skills and sensitivity to organizational context, to work effectively with

the Rabbi, Temple Administration, and lay leadership.

- Administrative experience desirable.

- Salary is negotiable

Kehillah MAGNET still has student availability at all grade levels! If you have a

child or know of a family with children interested in learning more about their

Jewish heritage, Kehillah MAGNET might be the learning environment for them.

We would love the opportunity to discuss our Jewish educational programs with

all those interested. Please contact our Principal, Jenn Bober, at

principal@templeadasshalom.org, for additional information.

As always, parents answering your questions and concerns about Temple Adas

Shalom's Kehillah MAGNET Religious School Program is very important to us, and

we would love the opportunity to talk directly with you. You always have a voice!

Many Thanks,

Joel Yoffee

Kehillah MAGNET Religious School Committee Chair

Nashon

By Janet Ruth Falon

Sisterhood & Gift Shop News

Pat Wolkow

Someone has to be the first one to test the waters:

Even if you can’t swim, or can’t imagine floating, to dip a big toe in the ocean;

Even if the opposite shore is invisible, far beyond imagination, to extend yourself;

Even if the sea is icy, with floes, the muck, to take the first step;

Even without a life preserver, or inflatable raft, or water wings, to risk total immersion;

Even if everyone else says no, and holds back in terror;

to plunge in, trusting you’ll survive the depths.

Chag Sameach from TAS Sisterhood! You know the NASHON like members of our

Congregation. You know they’re among you, that a few more exist. Maybe it is you!!

This month, we pull together a slate of women who will not “take the first step” but will

join the Sisterhood leadership team to help us continue to honor our Mission. Notify

Elise Woods of the “Nashons” you feel can help us imagine, extend, plunge, and survive!

Our General Membership met in February and helped the Board Liaisons plan out

activities and events for our sisterhood. Look here in the monthly newsletter, the TAS

Calendar, and weekly bulletins for updates. Keep yourself informed!

COMING UP:

April – Outdoor Event near the end of the month – Elections too!

May 8th - Sisterhood Virtual Shabbat Morning Service & Installation

June – Year-End Event

Our Passover inventory has been put up on the TAS Sisterhood Gift Shop Facebook

page. To view the photos, go to our Facebook at

https://www.facebook.com/TASSisterhoodGiftShop

Click PHOTOS, then > ALBUMS. We divided photos of our inventory into these album

categories. Once you click on an individual image in that album, you will see the Stock

Number, item name, and price.

If you need or want something we don’t have posted, and you notify us early... we can

likely get it for you at a reasonable price. Contact Pat or Denise through the FB page,

the Temple FB page, FB messenger, by email at giftshop@templeadasshalom.org, text

message, or by phone to either place an order or meet us at the shop!

Sisterhood sends condolences to our Sisterhood members and their familys’ in

mourning:

Hindy Kempler, Sarah O’Donnell, Pam Gwaltney, and Marcia Buchness

The Jewish National Fund invites you to a special event to recognize the

contributions of the Klein family to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of

Andy Klein's yahrzeit. See details and RSVP information below. We hope

you can join us on Sunday, March 7th.

Adult Education News

Stephen Marksamer

Last month I submitted a non-standard article, relying on interpretation and a

bit of thought to get the points across. I’ll be more direct this month.

There are 2 current classes finishing up their series over the next couple of

weeks: Hebrew in a Jiffy & Wicked Women of the Bible. Having attended both

I can honestly say they are enjoyable experiences where I know I have learned a

lot and I believe each person attending is glad they did. If you missed out this

time around, let me know you would like to get your chance at the zoom

window! Please send an email to aduted@templeadasshalom.org.

As Pete Townsend noted: “Hullo, Tommy, there’s more at the door”.

Coming in March, Adult Education is starting a monthly “Lunch & Learn”

series. All sessions will begin on zoom at 12 noon (find the zoom link on our

website and calendar). Usually between an hour to 90 minutes, they will cover

a gambit of topics, different each month. Starting us off, on Tuesday, March 2,

Rabbi John Franken will discuss current events grabbed from the headlines of

our newspapers, with an increased understanding aided by Jewish

interpretation and impact.

Our “April Book Discussion” will be held on zoom on April 17. Get ready by

reading our selection this quarter: The Last Interview by Eshkol Nevo. This

compelling novel is a layered portrayal of friendship, family, and identity.

Reserve now at our Harford Public Library through their online website. Please

use the “contact us” area there to make a material request so we get enough

copies for everyone.

The Adult Ed committee is also discussing an adult B'nai Mitzvah class taught

by Rabbi Franken. Please send emails to aduted@templeadasshalom.org if you are

interested! And a Trope class for those who want greater davening ability in our

Torah recitation and prayers.

And not finally because there will be so much more, But I am now collecting

ideas for a film series reviewing and discussing Jewish life and times. If you

want to add a film title to this series, please send an email to

aduted@templeadasshalom.org.

Thank you all for your great comments and support. Keep them coming!

Where you ask? please send an email to aduted@templeadasshalom.org.

Sincerely,

Stephen Marksamer

Chairperson – Temple Adas Shalom Adult Education
