FROM THE RABBI

- Anyone know the most popular song in American history? The second most 337:: Sihedule
popular is “Happy Birthday.” The most popular is not our National anthem or even “God FromilhevlgcbeCont’d)
Bless America.” The most popular song is “White Christmas,” And why is this one of Gum

the greatest trivia questions of our era? Because, it was written by a Jew, Irving Berlin. Winter Dinner

In fact, some of the greatest Christmas Albums have been recorded by Jews. While I finisj‘ghirzxjy

am all for helping out our neighbors, I have always questioned why Neil Diamond, our Winter Dinner
Barbara Streisand, and countless others never put out a favorite Chanukkah album? D°’°‘GM“9
Kenny G has done a Shabbat jazz CD, and to his credit, on his Holiday (not Christmas Sisterhood News

CD, he did include a jazz rendition of Draedel Draedel) amidst the Christmas standards. :2; Bottled Wm,
And. then it hit me, that the greatest hits of the holiday include those musical greats
such as “Draedel Draedel." “I Am A Latke," and “Chanukkah, O Chanukkah." Of course,
Adam Sandler did write his Chanukkah song, but there isn’t much of a melody line to NewTemple Membm
that one. Peter Yarrow wrote a brilliant song in “Light One Candle,” but that would make OMSho'om

a CD of one, for “Chanukkah‘s Greatest Hits.” if only we were writing more holiday Tm New‘

music!

But then, we never have made a big deal about being public with this Adult Ed.
celebration. because the truth is that we have always treated Chanukkah as a child’s EjlikDDistsb" G’WP
holiday. We have tried making it more intergenerational. We are commanded to Blood 3:29
publicly proclaim the holiday of Chanukkah, by making sure that the menorah is visible G°C”S"°“"Y
to the street. There is a lot of room on the spectrum of “public" between opening the Craft& Kibbiiz

the real reason for the menorah is to keep up with the Christians, who have a tree Board Nominations
publicly displayed But, I think the menorah issue is far too short sided. Zigrigzjmmmm

There really is no greater message conveying the value and cost of freedom, Refuch Shlemqh
than the story of the Maccabees. They fought to maintain freedom of worship and C°"d°'e"‘e°
overcame tremendous odds to secure that freedom. That is a very adult theme, yet we :3? ammo”
have let it go, and made the holiday nothing more than an opportunity for latkes, donuts, Recyje News
and presents for the children. Why has there not been more made out of the holiday? M°Z°'T°V
One answer I have heard is the notion that to do so would be to call attention to the fact MW”; Sch“,
that we are Jewish. Well, in this day, in this country, I believe that is less of an issue — Preschool
just look at the lack of problems that stemmed from the movie “The Passion.” Another
voice speaks of our minority status, and claims that there is not a big enough market.

Winter is almost upon us. For many of us, myself included, I would rather be at home sitting in front of my
fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate, than go out into the cold. Yet this year, I'm going to suggest that you gather your

warmth here at the Temple.
Sharing a Shabbat dinner and service, an educational program, book club, Sisterhood or Brotherhood event

with friends can warm your spirit and soul. I‘ll even make sure there's plenty of hot chocolate!

FROM THE RABBI (from page 1)

To this, i can only say that it is a good thing that Chuck Berry, Smokey
Robinson, and all of Motown Records never bought into this theory.

Ok, this has all beena little light hearted, but this is a joyous holiday we are
talking about. It is a holiday that should be celebrated by all Jews and notjust as a
benefit for our youth. You now have a month. Try to prepare some form of
Chanukkah celebration that reflects your age appropriate commemoration of the
miracle of faith that lead the few Maccabees over the more powerful Syrian-Greeks.
This is a holiday for opening our eyes to rededication and renewal. Have a great
month and may it be a joyous holiday eason for four community.

WINTER DINNER: A
PRELUDE TO CHANUKKAH

It’s coming! It’s coming! The Eleventh Annual
Winter Dinner, sponsored by CKJF will be at Rossi’s on
December 18, 2005 from 6 —8:30 PM and if you don't’ have
a reservation you may be disappointed. Last year at
Rossi’s was a sellout. And no wonder. The food is terrific,
the price is right, and the location couldn’t be better.

We’ll start the evening with delicious hors
d’oeuvres served at your table. Then the dinner buffet will
include (but is not limited to) salad, 3 pesto pasta, eggplant
parmigiana, and latkes with all the trimmings. All of this will
be followed by some sinfully delicious desserts.

The price for all this bounty is a mere $19 per adult
and $5 for children ages 6 to 12. For children under 5
years of age, attendance is free. The children will have a
separate space where they can do craft projects, and eat
their pizzas and ice cream sundaes.

There is however, an additional cost for everyone
attending. You must bring two non-perishable food items
for each person in your party (even babes in arms) or pay
$2 per person.

The food and the money will go to God’s Pantry.
Folks. we’ve been kind of lax about this requirement in the
past few years. This year there will be someone collecting
your contributions.

Please join us on December 18th. Send back your
form found in the Shalom or call CKJF at 268-0672 for
more information.

 

 

We are updating the Directory and ask that all
members who have not already notified the office of their
changes, please call Sandee at the Temple office ASAP
to give us your changes of address, phone number, or
email.

DAY OF GIVING SET FOR DECEMBER 23

The CKJF is proud to be organizing the Jewish Day
of Giving for the fifth year. You can work in hospitals,
deliver or serve meals, clean shelters, or walk and groom
dogs. If none of these tasks entice you, a Giving Tent will
be set up this year in front of the CKJF office in the Chinoe
Shopping Center. Volunteers are needed to handle
collection of baked goods, pet supplies and new or gently
used toys, and to organize these items for delivery on that
day.

We will be helping the Woodford Humane Society,
Ronald McDonald House, the Catholic Action Center, St.
Joseph hospitals, and Meals on Wheels. Jewish
community members will take the place of those regular
volunteers who celebrate Christmas.

Please fill out your sign up sheet found on page 12
of the November issue of Shalom and mail it to the
attention of Jana LaZur, CKJF activity director, fax it to
869—268-0775, email Jana at tikkun@jewishlexington.org,
register online at www.jewishlexington.org or call 859-268-
0672. Let us know how you will make a difference this
year

SISTERHOOD NEWS

From the President, Marcia Brown

  

=4 ‘Tis the season for shopping!! I hope all who
shopped till they dropped at the Holiday Bazaar enjoyed
themselves and found all kinds of gifts for everyone on
their list and also, for themselves! It was a fun evening
and it has turned into an annual event. The Women’s
Hope Center was very grateful to receive our donations.
As we were enjoying ourselves, we did not want to forget
others who are not so fortunate. There is plenty of time to
do Chanukkah shopping....our gift shop is stocked with
lots of NEW gift items, dreidels and of course, menorahs
and candles! l would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to
all of the members of TA! Sisterhood. Without your
support we would not be able to be an award winning
Sisterhood! Last month at the Biennial, our Sisterhood
was presented with some awards and honors. Our
Sisterhood made a Lifeline contribution, participating in the
new Sisterhoods Say Yes Campaign. This contribution
becomes part of an endowment, with the interest
contributing to the training and education of our youth and
rabinnic students. It will also be used to support special
projects for service and humanitarian causes in the areas
of human rights and world peace. We also, achieved a
place on the YES Fund Honor Roll, at the highest level of
giving, the level of Chai. Once again, this contribution
goes to the education and support of students in Israel and
the students at HUC—Jewish Institute of Religion. We are
proud to be able to make these contributions throughout
the year. A very special award was presented to us. The
Silver Candlesticks Award for the 100-499 member
category. This award is given to the Sisterhood that
contributed the largest amount per member to the YES
Fund during the two fiscal years prior to the Assembly.
And last, but not least, we received an OR AMI “Light of
My People” program honorable mention for our “Pajama
Party" program, informing us about and discussing spouse
abuse. We accept these honors with great pride and
continue to strive for these levels of giving and
programming, It is never too late to join this awesome
group of women of our Temple....there are many more
programs and projects coming up....we have only just
begun!! Your participation will have an impact on our
Temple and surely will enrich your life, as well. I want to
wish everyone a very happy Chanukkah!

SCRIP IS A FUNDRAISERlll!

December 18th. Call CKJF for more information.

What a deal! Where could you do better?
Please join us for a tasty and fun interlude each
third Sunday of the month at 6 PM in the TAl social
hall. The only catch, you must call the Temple at
269-2979 for reservations by 5 PM on the Thursday
before the event. If you don’t reserve, we can’t be
sure there’ll be enough meals for everyone.

Please join us on January 22nd. RSVP to
the Temple office by Thursday, January 19th.

School at our now annual October Book Fair. We
collected over $350 dollars and sold over 160 books.
Our Nosh at Noon has also been very successful.
Thanks to the hard work of Nelle Cohen and Debra
Kratzer (and many other great volunteers including
expert grillers Mike Burrell and John Cohen), we are

Our fourth, fifth, and sixth graders have been
involved in an exciting art project. Janet Tamaren has
commissioned a stained glass artist to do a stained glass
piece for the Temple. We have had our fourth through

of our students.
