Rabbi’s Message
#MeToo
This past year we
all witnessed the
phenomenon of the
#MeToo movement.
At first, few people
were highlighted as
sexual predators,
but as this silent
epidemic began to
emerge, we started
hearing from women
of all walks of life come forward to share their horrific
experiences of abuse that violated their very core.
The perpetrators were as diverse, from politicians
to journalist, doctors, entertainers, intellectuals and
teachers, across the entire spectrum we saw ordi-
nary men being fired or resigning from their careers
because of the sins they have committed.
When a problem becomes so prevalent in a society,
we ought to stop and reflect upon the cause and ask
ourselves the question, where have we gone wrong.
While the public conversation has focused on who
is right or wrong, who is being truthful and who is
telling a lie, little has been said on what remedies
can be applied to address this systemic problem.
We as a society have failed in epic fashion to teach
a new generation the meaning of sexuality, proper
respect for women and appropriate boundaries for
how men and women should interact. How ironic
and striking that we live in a time that women are
so equal, yet so objectified.
Sex is one of the most powerful, most compel-
ling drives within all humanity. The compulsion to
engage in sexual activity may be stronger than all
other basic drives in life. In our times, as boundaries
have become less stringent, many forms of sexual
behaviour are proliferating. Sexual desire has gained
complete independence - physical sexuality -pleasure
without purpose- gets a lot of advertisement and it is
glorified in our popular culture.
For the past fifty years, we as a society have suc-
ceeded in separating sex from motion, desire from
purpose and pleasure from intimacy and in doing so;
1
we have created a culture of sexuality that is merely
physiological, independent of any other considerations.
When the deeper meaning of sex disappears and
only the physical act prevails, it becomes unsatis-
fying. Furthermore, the physical act itself begs for
more spice and perversion to alleviate the bland-
ness of the act itself, one dimensional sex becomes
a physical exercise with limited reward.
Sadly the primary victims of this approach toward
sexuality are women and it has brought havoc onto
our marriages and communities. Unfortunately, love,
family and fidelity, has taken a backseat in our pop-
ular culture.
Judaism has treasures of wisdom when it comes
to this issue; it believes that every force of nature
must be channelled, if not, it will self-destruct. In
an ideal home, parents will instill our time-honored
values that celebrate and honor what is holy. Phys-
ical intimacy is meant to be holy, never an instru-
ment of power or intimidation. The laws of Tzniut,
safeguards in how we dress, speak and act, are
designed to channel with in us this powerful force.
It understands sexuality as a force of connectivity, it
is a pleasure that is derived from giving and being
connected with another - both in the body and
beyond the physical plane; the blessing of sexual-
ity if channelled can become the highest and most
exhilarating expression of love and benevolence.
The physical union enhances the spiritual union of
two individuals, and the particular bond between
male and female in which giving and receiving
blend with each other becomes a way of learning
and experiencing a multi-level connection.
The Kabbalistic masters say that in order to ascend
to the highest heights, it is sometimes necessary to
descend into the lowest lows, todays crises might
be the mark of how low we have fallen, perhaps it’s
our moment to realign our approach toward sexu-
ality, and how the most powerful human desire can
become an expression of holiness.
Lieba and I wish our members and friends a Shana

Presidents’ Message
Many years have passed since I last put pen to
paper to write a Presidents’ Report. For Leo, this
will be his very first.
The intervening years have seen two rather contra-
dictory phenomena:
- The general decline in automatic Synagogue iden-
tification by younger people, for life-cycle events
and even for regular Synagogue attendance;
- In direct contrast to the overwhelming trend, the
successful maintenance by The Chevra, of its dom-
inant position as the surviving, traditional Orthodox
Congregation in our milieu.
Our maintenance, and indeed slow but sure growth
in our Membership, is directly attributable to our
dynamic Rabbi non-pareil, who has achieved
demonstrable and impressive success through his
untiring outreach, and incredible talent for impart-
ing significance to our Orthodox beliefs. This, in a
world that has become increasingly passive and
uninvolved in all, except video games, and strident
efforts to achieve personal gratification through
“going viral”.
The recent successes of the Rabbi in attracting and
securing new families for both membership and
High Holiday seating must not, however, lure us into
complacency. During the same period of success,
we suffered the normal losses through attrition, of
far too many treasured members, who can never
be replaced, and whose absence will be felt.
The real message of your Co-Presidents is that
2
of our extreme optimism for the already launched
as well as soon to be released, new initiatives, all
aimed at transforming the Chevra into the Commu-
nity “go to place”. The launch of our business-ori-
ented, Entrepreneurial Forum has been met with
some successful networking, significant enthusi-
asm, and active participation. Many more of such
events are in the planning stage.
In implementing this initiative Leo invites highly suc-
cessful and respected entrepreneurs to speak on
any topic of their choosing. Most choose to describe
their successes and failures, often in a self-depre-
cating manner - thoroughly fascinating, informative
and entertaining.
Through the generosity of the Polachek family,
we have received a substantial grant of funding
to establish a program of Lectures, and notable
Authors. In addition, we are planning a program of
cinematographic showings of important films ded-
icated primarily to Jewish themes, which are often
unavailable to the general public.
Our aim is to vitalize our Shul to once again take
its rightful place as the most significant Orthodox
Institution in the City. We are confident you will be
as enthusiastic as we are, to enjoy, participate in,
and support these initiatives.
Leo Hubermann and Daniel S. Miller,
Co-Presidents.

In the last number of years, CCC volunteers have
prepared baskets or platters with holiday-appro-
priate delicacies for our members to enjoy. This
year, co-chairs Pearl Rothenberg and Halina Halp-
ern decided to do something different for Passover.
Thirty beautiful orchid plants with blooms of different
colours, were hand delivered to our CCC members
in residences, hospital, and at home. The members
were both surprised and delighted to receive these
flowering plants with instructions for their care. With
proper care, orchids can last for many years. Per-
sonally delivering the orchids to our members was
very gratifying for our volunteers. Both the giving
and the receiving are important components of the
circle of Chesed.

calls from our members. They have expressed

The Meaning of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur

Rosh Hashanah literally means “Head of the Year”
in Hebrew. It falls in the month of Tishrei, which is
the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar. The
reason for this is because the Hebrew calendar
begins with the month of Nissan (when it's believed
the Jews were freed from slavery in Egypt) but the
month of Tishrei is believed to be the month in
which G-d created the world. Hence, another way
to think about Rosh Hashanah is as the birthday of leading up to them) Jews embark upon the serious
the world. task of examining their lives and repenting for any
Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first two days wrongs they have committed during the previous
of Tishrei. Jewish tradition teaches that during the year. This process of repentance is called teshuvah.
High Holy Days G-d decides who will live and who Jews are encouraged to make amends with anyone
will die during the coming year. As a result, during they have wronged and to make plans for improving
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (and in the days
6
during the coming year. In this way, Rosh Hashanah
is all about making peace in the community and
striving to be a better person.
Even though the theme of Rosh Hashanah is life
and death, it is a holiday filled with hope for the
New Year. Jews believe that G-d is compassionate
and just, and that G-d will accept their prayers for
forgiveness.
Rosh Hashanah Liturgy - The Rosh Hashanah
prayer service is one of the longest of the year.
Only the Yom Kippur service is longer. Rosh Hasha-
nah service usually runs from early morning until
the afternoon and is so unique that it has its own
prayer book called the Machzor. Two of the most
well known prayers from Rosh Hashana liturgy are:
Unetaneh Tokef – This prayer is about life and
death. Part of it reads: "On Rosh Hashanah it is
written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed, how many
will leave this world and how many will be born into
it, who will live and who will die... But Teshuvah
(repentance), tefillah (prayer), and tzedakah (char-
ity) can annul the severity of the decree.”
Avinu Malkeinu – Another famous prayer is Avinu
Malkeinu, which means “Our Father Our King” in
Hebrew. Usually the entire congregation will sing
the last verse of this prayer in unison, which says:
"Our Father, our King, answer us as though we have
no deed to plead our cause, save us with mercy and
loving- kindness."
On Rosh Hashanah it is customary to greet people
with "L'Shanah Tovah," which is Hebrew that is usu-
ally translated as "For a Good Year" or "May you
have a good year." Some people also say "L'shana
tovah tikatev v'etahetem," which means "May you
be inscribed and sealed for a good year." (If said
to a woman the greeting would be: "L'shanah tovah
tikatevi v'tahetemi"). This greeting refers to the belief
that a person’s fate for the coming year is decided
during the High Holy Days.
The Shofar is an important symbol of Rosh Hasha-
nah. It is an instrument often made of a ram's horn
and is blown one hundred times during each of
the two days of Rosh Hashanah. The sound of the
shofar blast reminds people of the importance of
reflection during this important holiday.
Tashlich is a ceremony that usually takes place
during the first day of Rosh Hashanah. "Tashlich"
literally means "casting off" and involves symbol-
ically casting off the sins of the previous year by
tossing pieces of bread or another food into a body
of flowing water.
Other significant symbols of Rosh Hashanah
include apples, honey and round loaves of challah.
7
Apple slices dipped in honey represent our hope for
a sweet new year and are traditionally accompanied
by a short prayer before eating that goes: "May it by
Thy will, O Lord, Our G-d, to grant us a year that is
good and sweet." Challah, which is usually baked
into braids, is shaped into round loaves of bread on
Rosh Hashanah. The circular shape symbolizes the
continuation of life.
On the second night of Rosh Hashanah it is cus-
tomary to eat a fruit that is new to us for the season,
saying the shehechiyanu blessing as we eat it to
thank G-d for bringing us to this season. Pome-
granates are a popular fruit because, according to
legend, pomegranates contain 613 seeds – one for
each of the 613 mitzvot. Another reason for eating
pomegranates on Rosh Hashanah has to do with
the symbolic hope that our good deeds in the
coming year will be as many as the seeds of the fruit
Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement,
is the holiest day of the year for most Jews. Its cen-
tral themes are atonement and repentance. Jews
traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour
period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spend-
ing most of the day in synagogue services. Yom
Kippur completes the annual period known in Juda-
ism as the High Holy Days.
Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei.
According to Jewish tradition, G-d inscribes each
person's fate for the coming year into a book, the
Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until
Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Days of
Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behavior and
seek forgiveness for wrongs done against G-d (bein
adam leMakom) and against other human beings
(bein adam lechavero).
The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside
for public and private petitions and confessions of
guilt (Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one consid-
ers one's self absolved by G-d.
The Yom Kippur prayer service includes sev-
eral unique aspects. One is the actual number of
prayer services. Unlike a regular day, which has
three prayer services (Ma'ariv, the evening prayer;
Shacharit, the morning prayer; and Mincha, the
afternoon prayer), or a Shabbat or Yom Tov, which
have four prayer services (Ma'ariv; Shacharit;
Musaf, the additional prayer; and Mincha), Yom
Kippur has five prayer services (Ma'ariv; Shacharit;
Musaf; Mincha; and Ne'ilah, the closing prayer).
The prayer services also include a public confes-
sion of sins (Vidui) and a unique prayer dedicated to
the special Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Yom Kippur
is considered one of the holiest of Jewish holidays.

The Festival of Sukkot
...On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is
the Festival of Sukkot, seven days for the L-RD.
-Leviticus 23:34
The Festival of Sukkot begins on Tishri 15, the fifth
day after Yom Kippur. It is quite a drastic transition,
from one of the most solemn holidays in our year
to one of the most joyous. Sukkot is so unreserv-
edly joyful that it is commonly referred to in Jewish
prayer and literature as Z'man Simchateinu , the
Season of our Rejoicing.
Sukkot is the last of the Shalosh R'galim (three
pilgrimage festivals). Like Passover and Shavu'ot,
Sukkot has a dual significance: historical and agri-
cultural. Historically, Sukkot commemorates the for-
ty-year period during which the children of Israel
were wandering in the desert, living in temporary
shelters. Agriculturally, Sukkot is a harvest festival
8
Tashlich
Tashlich is a magical, mystical moment when the
neshama communes with G-d and nature,
transcending the vice of human folly to soar aloft,
freed from the fetters of mankind’s failings.
It is a Kabbalistic symphony of purity,
a purging of the dark that lurks within.
Join Rabbi Jacobson and listen to
“Stories in the Park” at Tashlich time,
the 1st day of Rosh Hashanah, for a study of
the inner recess of the soul.

and is sometimes referred to as Chag Ha-Asif , the
Festival of Ingathering.
The word "Sukkot" means "booths," and refers to
the temporary dwellings that we are commanded to
live in during this holiday in memory of the period of
wandering. The name of the holiday is frequently
translated "Feast of Tabernacles," which, like many
translations of Jewish terms, isn't very useful. This
translation is particularly misleading, because the
word "tabernacle" in the Bible refers to the portable
Sanctuary in the desert, a precursor to the Temple,
called in Hebrew "mishkan." The Hebrew word
"sukkah" (plural: "sukkot") refers to the temporary
booths that people lived in, not to the Tabernacle.
Sukkot lasts for seven days. The two days following
the festival, Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, are
separate holidays but are related to Sukkot and are
commonly thought of as part of Sukkot.
The festival of Sukkot is instituted in Leviticus 23:33
et seq. No work is permitted on the first and second
days of the holiday. Work is permitted on the remain-
ing days. These intermediate days on which work is
permitted are referred to as Chol Ha-Mo'ed.
Arba Minim: The Four Species
On the first day, you will take for yourselves a fruit of
a beautiful tree, palm branches, twigs of a braided
tree and brook willows, and you will rejoice before
the L-RD your G-d for seven days. -Leviticus 23:40.
Another observance during Sukkot involves what
are known as the Four Species (arba minim in
Hebrew) or the lulav and etrog. We are commanded
to take these four plants and use them to "rejoice
before the L-rd." The four species in question are
an etrog (a citrus fruit similar to a lemon native to
Israel; in English it is called a citron), a palm branch
(in Hebrew, lulav), two willow branches (aravot) and
three myrtle branches (hadassim). The six branches
are bound together and referred to collectively as
the lulav, because the palm branch is by far the
largest part. The etrog is held separately. With
these four species in hand, one recites a blessing
and waves the species in all six directions (east,
south, west, north, up and down), symbolizing the
fact that G-d is everywhere. Detailed instructions
for this ritual can be found under Sukkot Blessings.
The four species are also held and waved during
the Hallel prayer in religious services, and are held
during processions around the bimah (the pedestal
where the Torah is read) called hakafot each day
during the holiday. These processions commem-
orate similar processions around the altar of the
ancient Temple in Jerusalem. This part of the ser-
vice is known as Hoshanot, because while the pro-
cession is made, we recite a prayer with the refrain,
"Hosha na!" (please save us!). On the seventh day
of Sukkot, seven circuits are made. For this reason,
the seventh day of Sukkot is known as Hoshanah
Rabbah (the great Hoshanah).
After the circuits on Hoshanah Rabbah, we beat the
willow branches against the floor five times, shaking
loose some or all of the remaining leaves. A number
of explanations are offered for this unusual beating
practice, but the primary reason seems to be agri-
cultural: the rainy season in Israel begins in the fall,
and the leaves falling from the willow branch sym-
9
bolize our desire for beneficial rainfall. The following
day (Shemini Atzeret), we begin adding a line about
rain to the thrice-daily Shemoneh Esrei prayer.
Why are these four plants used instead of other
plants? There are two primary explanations of the
symbolic significance of these plants: that they rep-
resent different parts of the body, or that they rep-
resent different kinds of Jews.
According to the first interpretation, the long straight
palm branch represents the spine. The myrtle leaf,
which is a small oval, represents the eye. The willow
leaf, a long oval, represents the mouth, and the
etrog fruit represents the heart. All of these parts
have the potential to be used for sin, but should
join together in the performance of mitzvot (com-
mandments).
According to the second interpretation, the etrog,
which has both a pleasing taste and a pleasing
scent, represents Jews who have achieved both
knowledge of Torah and performance of mitzvot.
The palm branch, which produces tasty fruit, but
has no scent, represents Jews who have knowledge
of Torah but are lacking in mitzvot. The myrtle leaf,
which has a strong scent but no taste, represents
Jews who perform mitzvot but have little knowledge
of Torah. The willow, which has neither taste nor
scent, represents Jews who have no knowledge of
Torah and do not perform the mitzvot. We bring all
four of these species together on Sukkot to remind
us that every one of these four kinds of Jews is
important, and that we must all be united.

FAST OF ASARA
B’TEVET
Thursday, December 18, 2018
The Fast of the Tenth of Tevet commem-
orates the dateon which Nebuchadnezzar
began his siege of Jerusalem three years
before its fall in 568 B.C.E. The fast day
was established by the prophets and is
mentioned in the Tanach (Zecharia 8:9).
Since the fast begins at dawn (an hour and
one-quarter before sunrise) and occurs
during winter, it is the shortest fast of the
year. It commences at 6:10 a.m. and ends
at 4:53 p.m.

TU B’SHEVAT
January 21, 2019
Tu B'Shevat, or the 15th of the month of Shevat, is
"The New Year of the Trees". This year it occurs
on Saturday, January 31, 2018. It is the "New Year"
basically in reference to the different tithes which
are separated from the fruit each year in Eretz Yis-
roel and dispensed variously to the Levites, to the
poor, and for usage in Jerusalem. Only fruit grown
during the course of one year can be used as tithes
for the rest of the fruit grown that year, but not for
fruit grown in a previous or a future year. Our sages
of the Mishnah have designated the 15th of Shevat
as the cutoff date between one year and another,
since most of the rains of the previous year have
already fallen. Any growth after this day is a result
of the blessings of the new year. Since Tu B'Shevat
marks the renewal of growth in the land of Israel,
Jews rejoice on this day and express their solidarity
with the people of Israel. It is customary on this day
to eat fruit which come from Israel and which are
associated in the Bible with the Holy Land, such
as dates, figs, grapes and pomegranates. There is
also a custom on this day to eat a new fruit of a kind
which one has not yet eaten in the present year in
order to recite "Shechecheyanu", the Blessing that
we may be sustained to reach this occasion.

Happy Purim
Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on
the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when
the Jewish people living in Persia were miraculously
saved from mass murder.
The story of Purim is told in the Biblical book of
Esther. The heroes of the story are Esther, a beau-
tiful young Jewish woman living in Persia, and her
cousin Mordechai, who raised her as if she were his
daughter. Esther was taken to the house of Achash-
verus, King of Persia, to become part of his harem,
and he loved her more than his other women and
made her queen. But the king did not know that
Esther was a Jew, because Mordechai told her not
to reveal her identity.
The villain of the story is Haman, an arrogant, ego-
tistical advisor to the king. Haman, a descendant
of Amalek, hated Mordechai because Mordechai
refused to bow down to Haman, so Haman plotted
to destroy the Jewish people. In a speech that is all
too familiar to Jews, Haman told the king, “There is
a certain people dispersed and scattered among
the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom
whose customs are different from those of all other
people and who do not obey the king's laws; it is
not in the king's best interest to tolerate them. If it
pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy
them.” Esther 3:8. The king gave the fate of the
Jewish people to Haman, to do as he pleased to
them. Haman planned to murder all of the Jews.
Mordechai persuaded Esther to speak to the king
on behalf of the Jewish people. This was a dan-
gerous thing for Esther to do, because anyone
who came into the king's presence without being
summoned could be put to death, and she had not
been summoned. Esther fasted for three days to
prepare herself, and then went to confront the king.
He welcomed her. Later, she told him of Haman's
plot against her people. The Jewish people were
saved, and Haman was hanged on the gallows that
had been prepared for Mordechai.
The book of Esther is unusual in that it is the only
book of the Tanach that does not contain the name
of G-d. In fact, it includes virtually no reference to
G-d. Mordechai makes a vague reference to the fact
that the Jews will be saved by someone else, if not
by Esther, but that is the closest the book comes to
mentioning G-d. Thus, one important message that
can be gained from the story is that G-d often works
14
in ways that are not apparent, in ways that appear
to be chance, coincidence or ordinary good luck.
Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of Adar, which
this year is on Thursday, March 1st. It was this day
that Haman chose for the mass murder of the Jews.
In the time of Joshua, Purim is celebrated on the
15th of the month, because the book of Esther says
that in Shushan (a walled city), deliverance from the
massacre was not complete until the next day.
The word “Purim” means “lots” and refers to the lot-
tery that Haman used to choose the date for the mas-
sacre. The Purim holiday is preceded by a minor fast,
the Fast of Esther, this year on Wednesday March
4th, which commemorates Esther's three days of
fasting in preparation for her meeting with the king.
The primary commandment related to Purim is to
hear the reading of the book of Esther twice. The
book of Esther is commonly known as the Megil-
lah, which means Scroll. Although there are five
books of Jewish scripture that are properly referred
to as Megillahs (Esther, Ruth, Ecclesiastes, Song
of Songs, and Lamentations), this is the one people
usually mean when they speak of The Megillah. It is
customary to boo, hiss, stamp feet and rattle grag-
ers (noisemakers) whenever the name of Haman
is mentioned in the service. The purpose of this
custom is to “blot out the name of Haman.”
We are also commanded to eat, drink and be joyous.
According to the Talmud, a person is required to
drink until he cannot tell the difference between
“cursed be Haman” and “blessed be Mordechai,”
though opinions differ as to exactly how drunk that
is. In addition, we are commanded to send out
gifts of food or drink, and to make gifts to charity.
The sending of gifts of food and drink is referred to
as shalach manot (literally sending out portions).
Among Ashkenazic Jews, a common treat at Purim
is hamentaschen (literally Haman's pockets). These
triangular fruit-filled cookies are supposed to repre-
sent Haman's three-cornered hat.
It is customary to hold carnival-like celebrations on
Purim, to perform plays and parodies, and to hold
beauty contests.
Work is permitted as usual on Purim, unless of
course it falls on a Shabbat.
Purim Sameach! Happy Purim!
 HOLIDAYS
Fast of Esther
city fast for the following 3 days, she and her maids
would also fast.

The fast begins at the break of dawn and ends after

the Megillah (Book of Esther) is read that night. If
one is feeling weak, one may break the fast after
nightfall, prior to Megillah reading. Some people
will get up before dawn and have an early morning
breakfast and then fast the rest of the day.

“In Esther 4:16 she agrees to see the king uninvited,

and asks the Jewish People to fast for three days
beforehand. Why did she call for a fast? Because
a fast helps to lower the volume on our physical
pursuits in order to focus more acutely on our spiri-
tual selves. This facilitates the process of "teshuva"
- literally "return." We return to our essential state
of purity.

Esther called for a fast, knowing that through

soul-searching the Jews would forge a spiritual con-
nection necessary to make her mission successful.
And it paid off!” reads an unknown source.
Every year, on the 13th of Adar the Fast of Esther is
observed in commemoration of the Fast observed The 13th of Adar is also mentioned in the Talmud as
by Mordechai and Esther and all Israel. This fast is the day on which vengeance was executed (during

National Jewish Retreat
On Wednesday, August 1st, my husband and I left
Montreal, driving with Rabbi Ronnie and Simcha
Fine, to attend the National Jewish Retreat Conven-
tion. It took us seven hours to arrive at the Omni
Hotel and Convention Centre in Providence, Rhode
Island, where for the next four days we would be
taking the most amazing and inspiring journey.
I had been studying many of the courses of the
Jewish Learning Institute with Rabbi Fine for the
past few years, however spending the next few days
learning, eating and praying with almost thirteen
hundred other guests from many different places,
was an experience we will never forget.
The speakers were well-known rabbis, scholars and
teachers. The topics were so amazing that it was
difficult to decide just which lectures to attend.
The following were just a few:
• Justice is Blind - Justice Richard Bernstein, now
serving as the first blind judge of the Superior Court
of Michigan.
• What is Real Feminism? - Mrs. Gheula Nemni -
What do women’s rights really mean?
• The Nation’s Orphan - Mr. Robert Meerapol - He
was an innocent 8 year old boy when his parents,
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed. He still
holds his mother’s innocence and continues his
fight for justice.
• Experiencing the Divine - Rabbi Manis Friedman
19
July 31st to August 5th, 20l8
Rhode Island Convention Centre
Providence, Rhode Island
• Ramban Daily Study - Rabbi Ronnie Fine
• Two survivors from the ship, St. Louis that carried
Jews trying to escape death in Europe during WW2.
They were refused entry into the US and Canada
and were sent back to Europe, where many per-
ished. These people were children at the time, but
lived to tell the tale!
The above were only a few of the daily presenta-
tions and we felt privileged to be able to attend.
There was also great entertainment in the evenings,
among which was Modi, a very funny comedian.
The great musical groups Roger Park, sang and
played Yiddish melodies and Chabad Niggunim.
Another evening, an Illusionist entertained the large
group.
Most heart-warming, were the stories of the Sinai
Scholars, a group of teenagers who came together
from secular and non-observant homes, to finally
find their role in Judaism – getting a Jewish name
for the first time, being Bar-Mitzvah and Bat-Mitzvah
and spreading the Word.
We have only been to one other Convention a few
years ago in Washington. We cannot wait to attend
next year, which will be taking place at the Marriot
Hotel in Washington.
I don’t know if I can find the exact words to describe
how we felt about those few days. I will say however,
it was a journey into Judaism – the

Farewell Snowbirds,
Safe travels!
It's that time of the year again
when our snowbirds leave for
their winter nesting grounds in
warmer climates. We wish each
and every one of them, a safe
trip and good health over their
winter respite and look forward
to seeing them in the spring.

Yidlife Crisis –
An Evening Of
Unleavened Comedy
For this year’s Annual Passover Gala The Chevra
presented an evening of ‘unleavened’ laughter
featuring the comedy duo of Jamie Elman and
Eli Batalion also known YidLife Crisis! Filled with
endless humour about Jewish Montreal, they
presented their take on a typical Passover Seder
that really ‘hit the nail on the head’.
The surprise of the night was our very own Rabbi
Asher Jacobson, who never turns down a good
challenge, agreeing to perform an eighteen
minute stand-up routine for the over 300 guests
that filled the room. If successful, $1,800 would
be donated to the shul by two of our congre-
gants.
For close to 25 minutes, The Rabbi, known for
his often entertaining sermons, had everybody
in stitches as his one liners and hilarious anec-
dotes had everybody laughing all the way home!
He was a colossal hit and had everybody want-
ing more!!
The evening, which was chaired by long-time
member and Vice-President, Kathy Halmi,
began with a delicious VIP Passover buffet, an
open bar and a meet and greet with the YidLife
boys.
We’d like to thank all our sponsors for their sup-
port and generosity and the Synagogue staff
and volunteers who helped make our evening
of comedy a great success!

See you next year!

Shabbat Under The Stars
On Friday, June 15, 2018, the town of Hamp-
stead and the The Chevra Synagogue, for
the fifth year, hosted a spectacular Shabbat
celebration and dinner in Hampstead Park.
The overwhelming response to our com-
munity Shabbat brought 1700 people to the
venue.
The beautiful, warm summer weather allowed
our guests to mingle outside, while enjoying
a festive BBQ, music, an open bar, a spe-
cial candle lighting ceremony and Kabbalat
Shabbat services outside.
A spectacular tent, was put up in the football
field where the guests were served a deli-
cious four course dinner, prepared by L’Or-
chidée Catering.
It was a spectacular evening that will be
remembered by all!
Thank you to Mayor William Steinberg and
the City of Hampstead for a spectacular eve-
ning “under the stars”, to all our sponsors, the
Chevra staff and all our amazing volunteers.
It is because of your commitment and sup-
port the evening was a great success!

See you next year…“Under The Stars!”

On Monday, August 6, 2018 The
Chevra hosted our annual Golf
Tournament at the beautiful Fon-
tainebleau Golf Course in Blainville.
With the help of our many generous
sponsors, golfers and volunteers it
was a great day of golf, gab and
gastronomy.
Even though all the details of the
day were ‘ironed’ out to a ‘tee’
Mother Nature’s rainy weather did
not put a damper on our spirit, as
our foursomes, rain gear and all,
ventured out onto the course for a
round of golf.
With the help of L’Orchidée Catering
and Elan Bar Service, our energy
was kept up with a delicious break-
fast, a yummy BBQ lunch, and an
amazing buffet dinner with food for
every taste.
The festivities were concluded
with a silent and live auction with
lots of amazing gifts - everyone
had a ‘ball!’
The planning for next year’s golf
tournament is already in the works,
when we look forward to having
some ‘fun in the sun!’
A special thanks to all our spon-
sors, donors, golfers and volun-
teers and committee members
who helped make this event a tre-
mendous success.
