KEHILATH ISRAEL’S 

Vol. 46, Issue 3 March 2010 adar - NisaN 5770 

This weekend Saturday, February 27 and 

Sunday, February 28 will be Purim. Purim 

this year will be very different for us. 

It will be the first time in a third of a century 

that I have not spent Purim in Kansas 

City with the congregation. We will 

be having a little of a treat in that we will 

be in New York City with our son Seth and his family and 

instead of my reading the Megillah as I usually do on Purim, 

I will hear Seth reading the Megillah in New York. 

This Sabbatical experience has been very interesting for us 

and has enabled us to do something we wanted to do for a 

very long time, and that is spending some quality time with 

our grandchildren. 

As we have travelled to a number of communities now 

Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles and now New York, 

we see the same issues facing every Jewish community regardless 

of its size: intermarriage, assimilation, anti-Semitism. 

These are all issues that we face in Kansas City and 

worldwide. 

There is an interesting tradition that is explained in the 

Talmud, and as a matter of fact, I have written about this 

for The Chronicle as well. The Talmud tells us that at the 

end of days when the Messiah comes and all Jewish holidays 

and laws will be cancelled, the festival of Purim will 

still remain. I assume that the reason behind that strange 

comment is because of the very important message of the 

Jewish people surviving the threats of anti-Semitism which 

was expressed so strongly in Iran under the leadership of Haman 

and continues in Iran to this very day. 

We continue to watch the developments in Iran as far as 

its nuclear program and threat, particularly to Israel which 

creates tremendous fear and concern. We continue to support 

AIPAC in their effort to encourage the United States

For my column this month, I have chosen 

excerpts from an article written by David 

Suissa, founder of OLAM magazine. I believe 

the questions that Mr. Suissa poses and 

answers are relevant to our congregation. 

“What’s wrong with Judaism? Why do so 

many Jews disconnect from their faith? Why is it so hard to 

get them to go to shul? If Judaism is now a choice, why do 

so few Jews choose it? 

I thought I would end the year by ruminating on some of 

these questions, which I hear time and time again from concerned 

Jews. 

What got me thinking about all this is the re cent emphasis 

in the Jewish community on the issue of ethics. I can’t tell 

you how many arti cles I’ve read or sermons I’ve heard that 

have touched on this. Ethics is now the subject of many conferences 

and debates. It’s the Jewish topic du jour. 

Now, at first glance, it’s impossible to criticize a message 

of morality. I mean, how can anyone argue with Thou Shall 

Not Steal? How can you be against a ser mon or conference 

that reminds us of the importance of following the laws of the 

land and being impeccably honest? 

I guess, though, that that’s precisely my problem: this stuff 

is too easy. It does n’t really challenge us. It admonishes the 

guilty and reminds the innocent, but it doesn’t seduce us into 

exploring our Ju daism. 

In fact, I think if there’s anything stopping Judaism from 

thriving today, it’s the fact that it’s being hijacked by the 

moral ists. Do good. Be good. Speak good. The message is 

so obvious and true and important that rarely does anyone 

look at it and say, “Is that all there is?” 

Imagine yourself as a bright Jewish college student who 

doesn’t see or feel a need to connect to Judaism. Zionism 

is not your thing. So what will entice you to connect to your 

faith? A pitch on the goodness of Jewish values, or the goodness 

of peoplehood, or the goodness of tradition or tikkun 

olam or doing mitzvot? 

What if goodness is not really a hot button for you — either 

because you al ready see yourself as a good person who does 

good deeds or because you feel you can get this goodness 

message from other places? 

Well, then, Judaism won’t have much to offer you, which is 

sadly true for mil lions of Jews today.

ICHA D’AMREI - SOME SAY! 

Dear Congregational Family, 

Halakhic Judaism, through its requirement of observing 

law, teaches us sensitivity to life. Over the centuries, the 

Sages of the Talmud and later authorities created vehicles 

that enabled the Jewish practitioner to express emotions by 

taking an ordinary activity and sanctifying it. To this end, 

when we eat or drink we recite a blessing before and after; 

when we see a sunset we recite a blessing, when we purchase new 

clothes we recite a blessing, all for the purpose of thanking G-d for 

our bounty. 

Our Sages of blessed memory were wise beyond their time and instituted 

a blessing even at the time of great adversity in our lives. Upon hearing of 

the death of an individual, they prescribed the blessing Barukh Dayan Ha- 

Emet, Blessed is the Judge of Truth. Its recitation helps to realize that no 

one is singled out by fate. It helps us to develop a perspective that allows 

the good to shine through the darkness. 

Mourners find it difficult to recite this blessing, to acknowledge that their 

loved one has been taken from their midst, no longer able 

to enjoy their company. This is difficult to do, especially when 

one is still suffering from the shock of loss. However, in the spirit 

of our tradition, we must remind ourselves to look for, and to 

find elements of good, that can serve as inspiration for the future. 

Judaism is a religious tradition that ultimately looks towards a bright, 

better tomorrow. As Annie said on Broadway many years ago, “The sun 

will come out tomorrow,” or as the Psalmist wrote, “In the evening one lies 

down weeping, but with dawn, a cry of joy!” (Psalm 30) There is so much 

good in the world we live in that our tradition is imbued with support to help 

us overcome the difficult moments by offering gratitude to G-d for the good 

in our lives. Blessings are one way that we can affirm the goodness of the 

world. And so I conclude with my favorite blessing, Blessed are You Lord 

our G-d King of the universe, the One who is Good and causes Goodness.

IN HONOR OF 

BERNARD TENENBAUM 

90TH BIRTHDAY 

2-15-2010 

FROM 

THE MINYANNAIRES 

March 2010/adar - Nisan 5770

March 2010/adar - Nisan 5770 

CANTOR’S CORNER 

On Friday night, March 12 at 6:00 p.m., we will be joining 

together for a Rock Balayla service followed by a Shabbat 

dinner, as K.I. together with the K.I. Men’s Club, will 

be honoring Trent Daniels as our Minyannaire of the Year. 

Trent is one of the individuals who has committed his time 

and energy to attending almost every morning and evening 

service. He also has taken over as senior gabbai and has become 

an extremely active member of our shul. I urge you all to make your 

reservations for dinner to help us bestow upon Trent this well deserved 

honor. There is no charge for Men’s Club members. 

We at K.I. have been very fortunate over the years to be able to provide 

our shul members, as well as members of the larger Jewish community, a 

consistent reliable daily morning and evening minyan. This feat has been 

accomplished due to the many dedicated shul members who have made 

a commitment to attend and insure we have a minyan (quorum) at each 

service to enable people to say kaddish for a loved one. We have certain individuals 

who regularly attend every day morning and night, and we have 

individuals who regularly attend one service a week and everything in between. 

It has been very interesting to watch newcomers to the rotation as they 

integrate into the mix. We have had people with very little knowledge of 

the weekday services, people who could hardly read Hebrew and people 

who initially couldn’t follow what was going on. However, as time went 

on, all of these people became comfortable attending, following, participating 

and sometimes even leading the weekday services. 

We have all types of personalities attending that leads us to some entertaining 

moments, but those who attend regularly become one big family. 

Some very close friendships and even some marriages have resulted from 

attending services. Also, some of our regulars have become quite active at 

K.I. So as you see, our daily minyan has had a huge impact on the lives of 

our members, and in my opinion, the people who attend the daily minyan 

get back in kind what they put in. 

We are getting to the point where many of the senior members of our 

daily minyan are no longer able to attend on a regular basis. It’s time for 

the younger members of our congregation to step up to the plate and fill 

in where needed. What better way to start off or finish your day than by 

getting together with fellow Jews in friendship and offer thanks to G-d for 

everything that is good in your lives, to help our fellow Jew to express his 

emotions and/or grief for a loved one who has died and to address your 

own spiritual and emotional needs. This is why we were placed on this 

earth. 

All I ask is that you commit to attend one weekday service per week, 

either morning or evening. Please contact me and let me know your availability 

and I will place you into the rotation so we can keep our minyan 

strong for the next 100 years. 

“If I’m only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?”

MINYANNAIRE OF THE YEAR 

A native of Kansas City, Kansas, Trent Daniels grew up 

at Congregation Ohev Sholom. The family moved to Prairie 

Village in the early 60's where Trent graduated from Shawnee 

Mission East in 1969. During this time, and the years to 

come, Trent apprenticed with Marcus Levitch in the electrical 

industry. Trent opened his own company in late 1971. 

Trent has remained in the electrical industry through the years 

and now serves as president and CEO of TD Electric, Inc. 

After an extended absence from regular minyan attendance, 

Trent became active at Ohev Sholom studying under 

Rabbi Daniel Horwitz. Trent helped lead services during 

Rabbi Horwitz’s tenure. During Ohev's rabbinic search, 

along with Rachel Quinn Macek, Bill Nowack, and Dori 

Quinn, Trent became part of the lay leadership providing 

the congregation with Torah and Haftorah readers, 

and acting occasionally as Shaliach Tzibor, and Gabbai. 

Trent joined Kehilath Israel in 2007 where he has continued 

to expand his knowledge of Judaism by leading services 

and studying with Cantor Shron and Rabbi Bauman. 

Under the guidance of Morty Lewkowsky and Rabbi 

Mandl, Trent has recently been named senior Gabbai. 

Partners in life and business, Trent and his wife, Laura, 

have been married for 22 years and are still speaking to each 

other. They have three children: Adam, Michael and Alanna, 

and two grandsons, Landon and Logan. Anyone visiting their 

home or office is familiar with their constant companions, 

Sasha and Walter. Trent's parents, Maury and Bernice Daniels 

live in Overland Park and are members of Beth Torah. 


President cont’d from page 1........... 

Of course, Judaism has plenty to offer — it’s one long buffet 

full of wonderful de lights: morality, prayer and Torah, yes, 

but also centuries of history, philosophy, poetry, music, literature, 

theater, mysti cism and humor, among other things. 

The problem is that individual groups or movements have 

attached themselves to one section of the buffet, ignored the 

others, and said, “Here! This is Judaism!” Torah-observant 

Jews might ignore his tory and literature. Cultural Jews 

might ignore Torah and prayer. Spiritual Jews and tikkun 

olam Jews might ignore both, and so on. Yet each one will 

claim, “This is Judaism!” 

Rarely will any group present the whole buffet or cross 

outside of their comfort zones (Limmud being a notable exception). 

I’ve spent twenty years in Or thodox shuls, for example, 

and I think I can count on one hand the classes or 

ser mons that have dealt with Jewish poetry or literature, 

By the same token, many of my friends who are “cultural 

Jews” have written off Torah study as being outdated and 

irrele vant. 

My point is this: Jews would be a lot more interested in exploring 

their Ju daism if they saw it as a buffet full of dif ferent 

delights, rather than a restaurant with one or two items on 

the menu — es pecially if those items are predictable servings 

of morality. 

We focus so much on the obvious virtues — honesty, faith, 

compassion, integrity, humility, generosity, etc. — that we 

seem to forget the one virtue that makes us feel the most 

alive: curiosity. 

Yet curiosity is the virtue that not only can entice disconnected 

Jews to explore their Judaism, it’s also the virtue that 

can bring Jews closer together. What is real love if not the 

desire or curiosity to get to know — rather than judge — the 

Other? 

Ironically, for Judaism to thrive in the next century, we will 

need to violate the first rule of marketing: finding your niche 

and promoting the hell out of it. We’re niching ourselves to 

death. Whichever niche you’re in, whichever section of the 

buffet you’re promoting, it would be hoove all movements 

of Judaism to mix it up and add a few more items to their 

menus. 

Think about it. If you see a beautiful spread with an array 

of choices, you might criticize one of the choices, but 

chances are you won’t criticize the whole buffet. Judaism 

deserves nothing less.”

government to bring pressure to bear to stop that program. 

Purim comes annually to remind us that as a religious and 

ethnic minority, we as Jews continue to be threatened and 

must always be aware wherever we live of the fragility of 

our status and survival. 

Somehow miraculously in every age and generation the 

Jewish people survive the threats that it faces including the 

most serious one of the Holocaust just a generation ago. We 

seem to always bounce back and become even stronger and 

thrive in whatever environment we live. 

Because of all these factors it is especially important that 

we strengthen our commitment to our faith, remain loyal 

and active within our Jewish communities, and continue the 

important message the Jewish people have been given to 

bring to the world for years to come.

By the time you read this we will have had our second 

pasta dinner. By the way, the reservations are coming in we 

should have a good attendance. Jacob Schulzinger and 

Abbott Zolotor worked real hard to make it enjoyable. 

I want to waiver a bit from my usual format. I want to 

get the Men’s Club involved in the Golf Tournament. 

This is a major fundraiser and we need everyone's help. If 

you would like to play, sponsor a hole or cart, or provide 

us with items that we can raffle off ($50 value or higher), 

please let me know. If you can't do any of the above, maybe 

you know someone that would be willing to help. Just 

give me a call at 816.363.0336 and I will take it from there. 

This month plan to attend the breakfast as we will have a 

very interesting speaker. 

I will end this with my favorite request, PLEASE TRY TO 

ATTEND JUST ONE MEETING. 

Marvin Orlovick, 

President

Thank you, Gene. 

Gene Weisberger retired from his avocation, pastime 

and hobby of cooking and serving the weekly 

Breakfast Club, and we at K.I. wish to thank him 

for his dedication in providing breakfast following 

the morning Minyan every Wednesday for so many 

years. Gene took over when his late dad Morris, of 

blessed memory, passed away several years ago. 

Thank you, Gene, and may you continue to flourish, 

enjoying your family and friends for many years 

to come.

K.I. KINDERGARTENER, EITAN JACOBSON, TEACHES US 

GEMILUT CHASADIM AND TZEDAKAH 

As an educator, I tend to get overly excited when a teaching moment presents itself. So, when my five 

year old son, Eitan, said to me, “Mommy, I don’t think I raised enough money.” I first had to catch my 

breath, and then reply “Honey, $20.00 is a lot of money.” I never thought that his little ears were listening, 

and his little brain comprehending, all the fundraising discussions that filled the past six months. 

My 14 month old nephew, Menashe Koppel Cohn, Koppie, passed away on June 24. It was then that my 

family was introduced to an incredible organization, Chai Lifeline. We knew we wanted to give back to 

them for all the support they showed to us during such a difficult time. My sister, Becca Wexler, and her 

extraordinary organization skills put into motion Team Koppie. A group of what would soon become 20 

people choosing to raise money and participate in the Miami Marathon on behalf of Chai Lifeline. 

So, Eitan was witness to his Aunt Becca, Bubbie (Linda Cohn), and me waking up early to exercise. 

We explained that we had to train in order to prepare for this really long walk. Now he wanted to be the 

fundraiser. 

He asked if he could sell lemonade at school. Now, that was an idea! 

The next day I stalked the lower school principal. I explained how important it was to take advantage of 

this opportunity. Mrs. Gray agreed and suggested a money drive. Eitan could bring a decorated jar into his classroom and send a note 

home to parents. Excellent! To a five year old, a handful of change is better than a handful of bills or checks. 

Eitan loved the idea. He ran to his art supplies, pulled out paper and markers and started coloring and writing. “Mommy, I will tell 

you what to write and you write my words.” In seconds, he was explaining who he was, what he was doing and why. 

The word spread around school. It wasn’t just kindergarten anymore. Teachers also gave generously. Eitan also wanted to match 

his collection. We discussed different amounts of money and he chose to donate $50 of his own. 

With so many generous contributions, Eitan collected over $1,000.00 in memory of his cousin, Koppie. In just one short week, he 

learned so many valuable lessons. He learned the mitzvot gemilut chasadim and tzedakah, bestowing kindness and caring to others. 

When I asked him if he collected enough this time, he smiled and said, “No. I want to raise more next year!”
