FROM THE RABBI
Shevat/Adar 5775 - February 2015
Your vote counts.
Do you want an Israel that embraces all Jews and in welcome the pluralism within Judaism? Do you want an Israel that
recognizes weddings performed by Conservative rabbis? Do you want an Israel where an egalitarian minyan may have a
place to gather at the Western Wall?
If you do, then please vote Mercaz in the elections for the World Zionist Congress.
Voting is easy; just go to http://www.mercazusa.org/election-2015/email-registry.html
It is a bit more complicated to understand the involved organizations and finances, and I will try my best to explain as
succinctly and as accurately as possible:
The Jewish Agency is a non-governmental organization (an NGO) that distributes more than 300 million dollars to
various Jewish organizations and causes.
The Masorti Movement (the Conservative Movement in Israel and the rest of the world) receives about 2.5 million
dollars a year from the Jewish Agency. For example, Machon Shechter, the Conservative rabbinical school in Israel,
receives about a third of its budget from the Jewish Agency.
How does the Jewish Agency decide who to support and how much to give? Since half the governance of the Jewish
Agency comes from the World Zionist Organization (WZO), the WZO has a tremendous role to play in determining who
gets funding.
But how does the WZO determine who to support and how much to give? That is based on how many delegates each of
its member organizations can gain from the World Zionist Congress elections.
Who represents Ohavay Zion Synagogue in the World Zionist Congress? Mercaz is the Conservative Movement’s
member organization in the World Zionist Congress.
So, the long understanding of the process is: voting for Mercaz leads to greater representation in the World Zionist
Congress, which directs the decisions of the World Zionist Organization, which helps determine the decisions of the
Jewish Agency, which distributes money to the Masorti movement in Israel. (Voting may cost $10, but it is well worth it
for the huge financial benefit that Masorti movement receives.)
The short version of all of this is: voting for Mercaz is a vote for the Masorti Movement and a Jewishly pluralistic Israel.
This Rosh Hashannah, I asked for your help. I asked that to whatever degree we are able that we help the Masorti
Movement prosper. So, please support the Masorti Movement, and help Israel to be a home for us all.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
+
Shevat/Adar 5775 - February 2015
= Sh’mitah
“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but in the seventh, you shall let it rest and lie
fallow. Let the needy among your people eat of it, and what they leave let the wild beasts eat. You shall do
the same with your vineyards and your olive groves.“
Parshat Mishpatim Exodus 23:10-11
Happy Tu B’shevat /Sh’mitah! In Israel, this is the 7th year in the agricultural cycle. Akin to a sabbatical
year, it is the time when Israelis let the land rest. It is a wonderful time to explore the ethics and dilemma’s
that would occur if we all had to let our land rest for an entire year. How could we possibly live for a year
without crops of vegetables, fruits and olives? How would that impact our economy? How does Israel
cope or deal with this event? Explore this issue further yourself by exploring the following link
http://hazon.org/shmita-project/overview/
I hope everyone joins me in a Sh’mitah Community Service Project on Sunday afternoon, 2/8, (weatherpermitting) at Raven’s Run Nature Center to support land conservation and lend a hand to our local
community as we help clean up trails in the park.

MONTHLY THOUGHTS FROM THE RELIGIOUS COMMITTEE
Moving and Shaking, part 2
This month, we’ll continue the discussion of the various traditional movements and gestures during the
service.
Those of you who come early enough on Shabbat for the Pesukei de-Zimrah know that at the Baruch
sheh-amar we hold the front two tzitzit. While there are several mystical reasons for this, the most reasonable
seems to be that in a certain sense, this prayer, which has ten blessings, is a stand-in for the Ten Commandments,
and the two front tzitzit have a total of ten knots. The number of blessings and the number of knots help us to
remember the ten commandments. Also, according to some, the two tzitzit serve as witnesses to our praise. One
more explanation is that the Baruch sheh-amar does not mention God’s name, but the ten knots in the two front
tzitzit are formed from 16 strings (8 in each), and 26 (10+16) is the numerical equivalent of God’s name, which
we therefore include in the blessings even without saying it. It is part of the tradition to kiss the tzitzit at the end of
the blessing before releasing them.
One line of the Ashrei, recited both in the Pesukei de-Zimrah and at the end of the Torah Service, deserves
particular attention: Poteach et yadecha - “You open your hand and satisfy the needs of all the living.” We are told
to concentrate on that verse, but there is also a tradition, particularly strong among the Sephardim, but also
widespread among Ashkenasim, of opening up our hands (or at least one hand, if the other is busy holding the
siddur) at that line.
When the Torah is carried around the sanctuary, many people reach out to touch the cover with their tzitzit,
their siddur, or their hand (the latter is actually the most common in many orthodox synagogues), which is then
kissed (some orthodox kiss the torah mantle directly). We do this simply to express our love for the Torah.
After the torah is read, it is held up for the congregation to see (the early tradition, still usual in Sephardic
synagogues, is to do this beforehand, so the congregation can see where the reading will begin). It has become
common to point at the torah during this hagbaha, perhaps because we are singing at that point Vezoht ha-torah,
“This is the Torah.” Usually the little finger is used to point, to indicate humility, and one of the tzitzit is wrapped
around it so it can be kissed afterwards.
At some point we will consider the traditional movements associated with the Shma, but next month we’ll
look at the customs and laws of Purim, which is March 4 this year.

Hadassah
2/28
The Lexington Chapter of Hadassah invites the community to share in the celebration of Hadassah Shabbat Zachor on
Feb. 27-28. Held on the Shabbat preceding Purim, this annual program honors our namesake, Queen Esther and commemorates
the founding of our organization by Henrietta Szold, during the Purim season of 1902.
This meaningful cross-community observance will begin on Friday evening, Feb. 27 at Temple Adath Israel at 7pm. Hadassah
members will participate in the service and host the Oneg afterward. On Saturday morning at the 10AM Torah service at
Ohavay Zion Synagogue, numerous Hadassah members and associates will read from the Torah and be honored. Everyone is
encouraged to stay for the Kiddush lunch sponsored by the chapter.
A combined choir from OZS and TAI will be performing at both services under the direction of Lorne Dechtenberg
and Jaemi Loeb.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact Evalyn Block at [email protected] or Kathy Feinberg at
[email protected].
Foster Closet
2/1-2/20
One of our congregants, Francesca Hessing, is starting her own not-for-profit organization, Foster Closet. Please help us support
her and foster children by bringing in new or gently used children and teen clothes to our February 20th Kids' Shabbat (or
before). Donation boxes will be in the OZS entrance as of February 1st but tax deduction forms will only be available during
Kids' Shabbat. If you have any questions, please text or call Dominique Olbert at: (859) 229-5790.
Garbage Bag Fund for Sunrise Children’s Services
2/1-2/20
Very often, when foster children are moved around from home to home, their belongings move with them in garbage bags. They
and their families do not have money to buy suitcases. Donations of new or gently uses suitcases and storage boxes would be
very helpful in making them transition to new homes with a bit more dignity. Donations will also be accepted as of February
1st, in the OZS entrance. Kids Shabbat participants are also welcome to bring donations on February 20th, at which time taxdeduction forms will be available. If you have any questions, please text or call Dominique Olbert at: (859)229-5790.

assistance please be in touch with the office. Lunch will be served. Limited space available.

UK Jewish Studies Program
The U.K. Jewish Studies Program presents the annual Luckens Lecture Monday, February 2, 2015 at 7:00 p.m at
the Young Library Multipurpose Room (B108C). Yitzchak Schwartz from the Center for Israel Studies at Yeshiva
University will present on "The Lisbon Workshop’s Hispanic Society Bible: Jewish Art and Identity on the Cusp
of Modernity."
Mr. Schwartz will discuss a fifteenth-century illuminated Hebrew Bible at the Hispanic Society of America in
New York, and will demonstrate that by participating in Portuguese artistic conventions of its day, the Workshop
produced the first fully modern Jewish art. The Hispanic Society Bible also reflects the negotiation of a distinct
Jewish identity by its patrons in this new modern context, and the continuing identification of Lisbon’s Jewish
patrons with Iberian Islamic culture.
