KEHILATH ISRAEL’S<br />

Vol. 48, Issue 6/7 June-July, 2012 Sivan-Tammuz-Av 5772<br />

This will be my last column as senior rabbi<br />

of <strong>Kehilath</strong> <strong>Israel</strong> <strong>Synagogue</strong>. It is hard for<br />

me to believe that 35 years have passed since<br />

my first column which I wrote in Montreal,<br />

Canada and mailed to K.I. so that it would<br />

appear just as I was arriving in Kansas City.<br />

Just to give you an idea of the span of years, I<br />

had to mail the hard copy of that first message to you because<br />

there were no computers, no faxes and no speedy way of<br />

getting anything to anyone other than by mail. That is really<br />

perhaps one of the easiest ways to convey the length of time<br />

I have shared my life with you.<br />

As you are receiving this Focal Point we will be celebrating<br />

my special weekend with K.I. I know many of you will be in<br />

attendance and I greatly appreciate the tribute the synagogue<br />

has offered me by these three wonderful events on the weekend<br />

of June 1-3.<br />

I would like to thank the many individuals who spent<br />

countless hours planning what I am sure will be an elegant<br />

weekend. I would like to thank the overall chairs: Rochelle<br />

Kanter, Felicia Weiner and Sam Devinki. They have been<br />

supported in major roles by other individuals who are named<br />

in Steve’s column. But I also want to thank not only the overall<br />

and subcommittee chairs but also so many of you who have<br />

given your time to honor me in this way. I deeply appreciate<br />

it. Much thanks to Allegra Shanberg and Elizabeth Peden<br />

for so many extra hours to be recognized. Thank you also to<br />

Steve Osman and Jordan Gershon of Digital Lagoon. I am<br />

not aware of many of the details as they have been intentionally<br />

kept from me to be a surprise. However, from what I do<br />

know it is going to be one outstanding weekend for not only<br />

myself and my family but for the congregation and community<br />

as well.<br />

I was humbled by the incredible coverage that the Kansas<br />

City Jewish Chronicle gave to my retirement several weeks<br />

ago. Those of you who know me personally are aware that I<br />

shy away from these kinds of publicity events. It did however<br />

give an opportunity to survey many of the goals and objectives<br />

I have tried to fulfill through the years I have shared with you.<br />

A leader is only as good as the team that supports him. I<br />

would like to take this opportunity to thank the many individuals<br />

both paid staff and lay leaders who have worked with<br />

me through these many years. Without all of your help and<br />

cooperation I could never have accomplished anything that<br />

we have done successfully on an ongoing basis.<br />

continued on page 3<br />

The weekend of June 1-3 we celebrate the<br />

retirement of Rabbi Mandl at a glorious series<br />

of events. It is one that I approach with a sense<br />

of melancholy because of the mixed emotions<br />

being felt. We are collectively watching a bittersweet<br />

ending of an era for <strong>Kehilath</strong> <strong>Israel</strong>.<br />

The excitement of new beginnings must be<br />

balanced by the retirement of an individual who has been our<br />

friend and protector.<br />

Rabbi Mandl has dedicated nearly his entire professional<br />

and adult life to <strong>Kehilath</strong> <strong>Israel</strong> <strong>Synagogue</strong>. This weekend of<br />

programming is designed to provide each individual an opportunity<br />

to participate in some activity in order to say “thank<br />

you” to him. Irrespective of the two evening events, every<br />

congregant should help fill the sanctuary Saturday June 2 to<br />

reflect your appreciation.<br />

During the last few years that I have been more active in<br />

the administration of the congregation, I have marveled at<br />

the incredible intellectual skill he possesses. To take a topic<br />

on a weekly basis and spin it into a presentation that captures<br />

the emotional character of the subject while maintaining the<br />

rapture of an audience is a unique talent not available to many.<br />

When you attend a life cycle event, that talent becomes even<br />

more pronounced as he weaves a story that represents the essence<br />

of the individual in a way that is a vivid characterization.<br />

Listen to him speak and you know you are not listening to a<br />

string of clichés borrowed from the common mainstream of<br />

communication.<br />

If there is a word that could personify him in his role of<br />

senior rabbi, it is “encyclopedia.” It’s not a big stretch to say<br />

that Rabbi Mandl has more knowledge about our congregation,<br />

traditions, practices, and even the “dirty linen”<br />

not publically shared, than anyone still inhabiting our<br />

globe. Fortunately, that compendium of knowledge will<br />

still reside close by and be available for quick searches<br />

in his “database.” When Rabbi Yanklowitz assumes his<br />

role there will be a storehouse of knowledge, advice and<br />

support available when needed.<br />

Leaving one’s turf is not easy and it can be somewhat<br />

typical for the retiring rabbi to reflect an attitude not entirely<br />

receptive to the change. To the credit of both these people,<br />

they have worked together on a collegial and warm transition<br />

that is devoid of the more common components: jealousy, turf<br />

protection and pettiness. K.I. will be the obvious beneficiary<br />

*NO LATER THAN THESE TIMES<br />

In Pirkei Avot, Ethics of our Fathers, R’ Yehoshua Ben Perachia says the famous line, “aseh lecha rav”<br />

– “Make for yourself a teacher.” This saying forms a strong part of Jewish life, as each Jewish individual<br />

is required to seek out and accept the guidance of a particular rav/rabbi. In doing this, the individual connects<br />

himself to the long line of Torah going back to Moshe himself.<br />

What exactly does it mean to make a teacher for yourself? The mishna does not say “ask a rabbi to be<br />

your guide,” but says, “make for yourself a rabbi.” In other words, choose a rabbi and make him your<br />

rabbi, because this is the person whose knowledge and approach to life you respect and admire. Therefore,<br />

choosing a rabbi is no easy task and should never be taken lightly. For sure, he should be a person of honesty,<br />

integrity and modesty, and should be someone who is respected in the community as well as someone who shows respect for<br />

others, and if you are in need of guidance, he is the one who you will turn to and accept his advice and/or halachic decisions.<br />

This is very difficult for most American Jews because our independence has limited our respect for authority, and giving<br />

a rabbi authority in our lives conflicts with Western society cultural traits. That’s our first problem to overcome. We must<br />

actually respect someone that we believe, due to Torah influence and study, has wisdom and insight exceeding our own.<br />

Respect doesn’t mean we’ll consider his wise thoughts. Respect means we recognize he’s the expert, and we’re going to<br />

take his advice over our own. Unfortunately, what usually takes place is when a rabbi gives us a ruling that we do not agree<br />

with, we look for another rabbi who will concur with our viewpoint.<br />

Our shul has certainly followed the advice of R’ Yehoshua in choosing a rabbi to guide and teach the congregation. Rabbi<br />

Mandl has been only the third rabbi of <strong>Kehilath</strong> <strong>Israel</strong> <strong>Synagogue</strong> in the last seventy-eight years. This speaks well for the<br />

congregation and for its rabbis. Rabbi Mandl has guided our shul with integrity, honesty and loyalty to the traditions of our<br />

Torah, even when it meant making unpopular decisions. He has gained the respect of the community, and his knowledge<br />

and reputation is widely known.<br />

For the past fifteen years, I have learned a great deal from Rabbi Mandl. He has been the role model of how to be a religious<br />

and spiritual leader of a congregation, how to integrate modernity with Torah learning and how to be a mensch. I know that<br />

Rabbi Yanklowitz is extremely capable and comes to our kehilah with much enthusiasm, but he will certainly have some<br />

large shoes to fill.<br />

Hedy and I wish both Herb and Barbara much happiness and fulfillment as they enter a new phase in their lives.<br />

Rabbi Mandl’s....continued from page 1<br />

I obviously have reserved most of my more serious<br />

comments about the years I have been with you<br />

for the various addresses and speeches over the June<br />

1-3 weekend. For those of you who cannot be with us,<br />

and I know a number of you are traveling at that time,<br />

I just want to thank all of you for your support and help<br />

throughout those years.<br />

I do hope to write columns from time to time for the Focal<br />

Point at the request and discretion of our new senior rabbi,<br />

Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz. I will continue my columns in<br />

the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle and since, at least initially,<br />

we will not be leaving the community, I hope to see all of you<br />

on a regular and on-going basis.<br />

Shabbat Shalom,<br />

Rabbi Herbert J. Mandl, PhD<br />

�������������������<br />

President’s article....continued from page 1<br />

and so will Rabbi Yanklowitz because of the nurturing environment<br />

being created.<br />

How Rabbi Mandl would prefer to be remembered best<br />

would be for the following of a strict moral compass when<br />

it came to the ritual practice of Judaism. Great pride in the<br />

daily minyan, a known constant in our community not enjoyed<br />

by other congregations, is his most visible achievement. For<br />

those honoring their parents or loved ones, participating in the<br />

therapeutic effect of companionship during a trying period,<br />

K.I. is their comforting home. Creating such traditions here<br />

such as the community Shavuos All Night program, typically<br />

attended by nearly 500 participants, are a part of his legacy.<br />

Those watching him in action on a daily basis will know<br />

that K.I. follows traditional practices that are well grounded<br />

in Jewish law and custom. This strict approach, providing a<br />

religious center to our congregation, has helped us stem the<br />

erosion which has rendered many other synagogues nationally<br />

to less meaningful status in the fabric of their community.<br />

Raising money has never been a role that many embrace<br />

with excitement. Most rabbis recognize the need but do<br />

not want to engage in the practice. The financial vision<br />

of our future, led by the efforts of both Arnie Caviar and<br />

Sam Devinki, to create an endowment cushioning the fiscal<br />

demands of operating our facility, has been made more<br />

successful by Rabbi Mandl. Being able to get some of the<br />

major benefactors of the congregation to recognize and then<br />

donate generation-changing amounts has helped ensure our<br />

future. This is what Rabbi Mandl has done that will survive<br />

and benefit our successors long after the only memory of any<br />

of us may just be a picture adorning one of the walls.<br />

K.I. has continued to survive when others have become<br />

distant memories or are experiencing significant fundamental<br />

problems. We are primed to grow because of the<br />

tireless dedication of Rabbi Mandl over the past 35 years in<br />

maintaining a strong base. Words are but a shallow means<br />

of conveying the impact. We will feel it every time we walk<br />

into this magnificent facility he helped shepherd through the<br />

design, construction and moving process. But it is so much<br />

more than bricks and mortar.<br />

Anyone with even a semblance of knowledge of the daily<br />

grind experienced in representing the interests of thousands<br />

of members over the years understands the emotional and<br />

physical drain of the position. As dedicated as he has been<br />

to the spiritual and halachic needs of the congregation, Rabbi<br />

Mandl must be ready for a change in direction as he enters a<br />

new productive phase of his life. We wish him well.<br />

The entire weekend has been in planning for over a year.<br />

The overall chairs are Rochelle Kanter, Felicia Weiner and<br />

Sam Devinki. They have been supported in major roles by<br />

other individual areas headed by Jennifer Kanter Fletcher,<br />

Marsha and Seymour Krinsky, Karen Gortenburg, Staci<br />

Parelman, Mary Covitz, Alan Organ, Ed Blend, Linda<br />

Goldstein, Lois Winston, Marlene Krakow, Ellen Portnoy,<br />

Kerry Cosner, Cindy Singer, Abbott and Madeline Zolotor,<br />

Susan Osman, Debbie Garon, Bonnie Rosen, Fran<br />

Kanter, Sonny Singer, Barbara Steinberg, and Jessica<br />

Kalender-Rich. Much thanks, too, for so many extra hours<br />

to be recognized of Allegra Shanberg and Elizabeth Peden.<br />

You will also see a number of graphic design and printed<br />

items that were contributed through the generosity of Jordan<br />

Gershon and me at Digital Lagoon.<br />

Over the remaining two months that Rabbi Mandl will<br />

continue to occupy the pulpit, take a moment to tell him how<br />

much he meant to you or your family. I know it will be appreciated.<br />

I look forward to being with you all soon.<br />

Steve Osman,<br />

President<br />

The historical mourning period for the destruction of the<br />

Temple begins with the 17th of Tammuz, when the wall to<br />

Jerusalem was broken through, and ends with the capture of<br />

the city and the razing of the Temple on Tisha B’Av, the 9th<br />

of Av, three weeks later July 29. The fast begins at 4:20 a.m.<br />

TISHA B’AV<br />

(Tallit and T’fillin are worn)<br />

The fast will conclude at.....9:09 p.m.<br />

Tisha B’Av (the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av) is<br />

a day of mourning during which Jews fast and bewail the<br />

destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. Along with Yom<br />

Kippur, it is the only full day fast on our calendar. This fact<br />

alone should impress upon us the importance that is placed<br />

on the observance of this day for all Jews. The preceding<br />

period, known as the “three weeks” that began with the Fast of<br />

Tammuz on Sunday, July 8, is considered to be the saddest time<br />

in the Jewish calendar when all evidence of joy disappears<br />

until the conclusion of Tisha B’Av.<br />

Since World War II, many Jews have chosen Tisha B’Av as<br />

the day to commemorate the (Yahrzeit) loss of those family<br />

members who were killed by the Nazis and their associates on<br />

dates that are unknown. The Talmud states that G-d decreed<br />

this particular day as a day of woe and misfortune in the very<br />

beginning of Jewish history. According to this interpretation,<br />

the ninth of Av was the day when the Jews in the desert of Sinai<br />

bewailed their lot when the spies brought back bad tidings<br />

from Canaan (Parshat Shelach). So G-d declared: “You cried<br />

without cause; I will, therefore, make this an eternal day<br />

of mourning for you.” And it was then that the decree was<br />

ordered for the destruction of the Temple, and the scattering<br />

of the Jews amongst the peoples of the earth.<br />

The congregation expresses sincere wishes for a speedy<br />

recovery to Isabelle Gallas, Lyuba Kapustin, Marcus<br />

Levitch, and to all other members of the congregation and<br />

community who have been ill or hospitalized.<br />

We listened to you and have made the Donor Advised Fund more accessible than ever!<br />

� You can now open a Donor Advised Fund by making a tax deductible contribution<br />

of $5,000 or more in cash or stock ($2,500 if you're 35 or younger)<br />

� You can use your Fund to make gifts to any of your favorite charities now or use it as a<br />

"savings account" for future gifts<br />

� Your Fund is professionally invested for tax-free growth<br />

� Your charitable giving is handled through one source, thus reducing paperwork and<br />

eliminating the administrative burden of saving individual receipts<br />

And now, for a limited time, you can MEET YOUR "MATCH!" The Foundation will<br />

match one gift to <strong>Kehilath</strong> <strong>Israel</strong> <strong>Synagogue</strong>, in an amount equal to 10% of the initial<br />

contribution you made to open your Fund, with a maximum match of $1,000.<br />

For more information on how to enhance your giving with a Donor Advised<br />

Fund, visit www.jcfkc.org or contact Diane Azorsky at 913.327.8121<br />

or dianeaz@jewishkc.org.<br />

At the May Board of Directors meeting, K.I. received a Bushman Community Endowment grant check for reaching endowment goals.<br />

From left: Diane Azorsky, Assistant Executive Director and Director of Community Endowments, Jewish Community Foundation<br />

of Greater KC; Stan Bushman, funder of Bushman Endowment Program; Rabbi Herbert J. Mandl, Senior Rabbi, K.I.; Steve Osman,<br />
