“No Man is an island, no man stands alone. Each man’s joy is joy to
me. Each ,man’s grief is my own.” (American Folk Song)
SPECIAL EVENTS
Last month, just after the murders in Paris, I
found myself in a discussion with a member of
the clergy of one of our neighbor’s religions. I am
purposely being vague because of the rules of
L’shon Ha Ra. Of all the debate between my colleague and
myself, one comment still troubles me more than the others
he made. He asked, “Why should a Moslem person living in
Glendale care what happens to people, Moslem and
otherwise, in Paris?” How could I not care? We begin our
Bible with the creation of Adam and Eve, created in G-d’s
image. Not Abraham the first believer nor Moses the first and
foremost prophet, not King David the singer of Love songs.
That brings me to this month. The month of Abraham’
Lincoln’s birthday, Valentine’s Day and George Washington’s
Birthday. All three days represent a type of love. No one
doubt’s Lincoln’s love for all Americans. Washington’s love for
our country and the rights of the individual in it. And, of
course, Fr. Valentino’s love for the institution of marriage. All
three fought for what they believed in and all three suffered
great personal grief in the achievement of love.
As I do often when I need a source text to aid me in finding
the right path, I look to the Torah. Leviticus 19 came to mind
last month and it seems appropriate this month, the month of
love. “ Thou Shalt Love Thy neighbor as thyself” We live in a
cyberspace world, our neighbor is no longer next door or
down the block or even in the same city. With the internet our
neighbors are as close as an instant even though they are
physically thousands of miles away. There are those who
might limit our love saying that this quote is ethno-centric in
design because today people tend to live next to people of
the same, ethnicity or life style choice. Not in my
neighborhood!!! But all groups have their parochial thinkers.
Happy Tu B’Shvat!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
At our February 6th Friday Night
Pizza and Family Shabbat Service,
we will honor the 17 New Families
who have joined our Temple in 2014. We
would like everyone to attend and
welcome them to our Temple Family.
Pizza at 6:00 PM and Family Service at
7:00 PM. (See Page 6.)
A special message to all our Temple Members. .
While you’re planning your resolutions
for 2015, why not consider a financial
gift for your Temple Family and make a
tax-deductible donation to Temple Beth
Emet of Burbank? Your thoughtfulness and
generosity will be very much appreciated and
it’s a great way to begin the secular year with
mitzvot.
Check out Rabbi Mark’s column in the
Burbank Leader newspaper! It’s called “In
Theory.” It’s very interesting and enlightening.
You’ll find it in the Religious section of the
newspaper.

President’s Message
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE - February 2015
We rely on the members of our Temple family to do so many things here at Temple Beth
Emet. If it were not for the efforts of dedicated volunteers we would have no newsletter, no
Temple Seders, no social events, no Onegs, nothing that makes us a community rather than
just a prayer house and religious school (although we are a great prayer house and religious
school).
Those who volunteer at our Temple typically “wear more than one hat.” Jerry Engelberg often observed that
we had too many hats and not enough people to wear them. Over the past several years we have lost a lot of
people who have either moved out of the area, passed away, or have had other issues that prevent them from
continuing to contribute as they did before. There are, however, at least as many hats, if not more.
We have been fortunate that many of our members, including newer members, have stepped in to help. Our
religious school parents have evolved the old PTA into the Religious School Parents Association (RSPA) and
have done wonderful things not only for the school, but for the greater Temple community as well. We have
looked to our school parents to help in many areas. We have probably asked more of them than is fair, and I
hope they know how much we appreciate them. Our school parents are the future of our Temple, and we
hope many of them will step into Temple lay leadership positions.
Unfortunately, there are some very important hats that don’t have heads! One of the most basic functions that
need assistance is shopping for Oneg Shabbats. As Dana Sapper writes in this issue [on Page 8], it is a task
that takes a little more than an hour, but we only have a few volunteers, so we have to call on the same people
every few weeks. Those who sponsor Onegs often do the purchasing for their night, and that helps a lot, but
we need more shoppers as well as more sponsors.
Barbara Lux can use help in proofreading the Chai Times, and in producing the hard copies that are mailed to
subscribers and also set out at Temple. We need people to help plan and staff events and activities. We
need people to contribute their talents to help with outreach and expanding our social media and web
presence, to help with building maintenance and repair. The Men’s Club and Sisterhood need people to join
their groups and bring their interests and energies.
One position that we really need to fill is that of Board Secretary. Although this position is necessary as a
nonprofit corporation and is mandated under our by-laws, it isn’t really a burdensome job. It involves attending
Board meeting and taking minutes and occasionally certifying actions of the Board. The Secretary is a voting
member of the Board of Directors and is normally elected each year by the membership. Since there is a
vacancy in this position, the Board is authorized to fill it. This is a great opportunity to step into Temple
leadership.
It may sound like we are asking people to make a huge commitment of their time and that we need so many
people for so many tasks; but really, if a dozen or so people step forward to help, we would be in pretty good
shape. I can assure you from my personal experience that volunteer work at Temple Beth Emet is interesting,
sometimes challenging, but very satisfying and rewarding. There are not many synagogues where a new
volunteer, or even a new member, can have an immediate impact and have immediate influence in Temple
affairs as ours.
I like to think of Judaism as a verb. By becoming actively involved at TBE, you feel greater ownership of TBE,
and you enhance your Jewish experience. I invite you to put on a hat or two and help pump up the lifeblood of
our “Temple With a Heart.”

Rabbi Mark Sobel’s Column, continued
(Continued from Page 1)
May I remind you all, when the Torah was compiled in the people who left Egypt were ethnic Hebrews,
many non-Hebrew Egyptian slaves and freeborn Egyptians joined in the trek through the desert. As my
Rebbe, Zalman reminded me, that generation’s ‘joiners’ were not compelled to be circumcised. Don’t
worry, the next generation was. We grew as a people because we cared for our neighbors, always,
where ever we lived or they had been born. . .
But even if there is not enough love for your soul in ‘love your neighbor as you love yourself’, let me
remind you of Rabbi Hillel’s quote, pertaining to Judaism’s essence, spoken while standing on one foot,”
That which is hateful to you , do not do to your neighbor. All the rest is commentary. Now go and learn it”.
Violently harming or injuring a person is abhorrent to me. The untimely ending of a person’s life due to
an act of terror even more so.
How could I, how can we, not rise up against violence? How can events anywhere in the world not
affect us? We cannot, we should not, and we must bring our love to our neighbors matter where they are
or who they are or who we are. The words of Deuteronomy have never been truer: LOVE. . . with all your
Heart, your Soul and your Uniqueness.
B’ahava, Your Neighbor
Rabbi Mark
Attention: To all those interested in a trip to Israel. . . Our trip has been scheduled for
January 21, 2016. If you are interested in going, please call the Temple Office to make a
reservation. We already have a small, confirmed group, but would like to have more.
EDUCATION MATTERS - RSPA PRESIDENT, DAVID GOLDSTEIN
The Religious School Parents Association would like to thank the congregation for their generous donations to
this year’s Black Tie Virtual Fundraising Gala, which at last count had raised over $1,350 for the Temple, with
donations still coming in! Many thanks to Amy Lawrence and to Andrea McKinnon for their work on this and to
Amy for her generous donation of the supplies and postage needed to make this happen.
After a relaxing Winter Break, Religious School got off to a busy start in January and there are many exciting
events planned for the Spring. Please take a moment to notice the new addition of artwork to our courtyard
thanks to parent and artist, Barbara Sultan and the children and parents of the 2/3 class. The children and
parents have designed and painted a new Tree Of Life Mural as this year’s Tu B’Shevat project. We are glad to
have this welcome addition. Planning is currently underway for this year’s Purim Carnival scheduled for March
8th, don’t forget to save the date. Planning for this event is done each year by Martin and the confirmation class
students. They have some new ideas for this year, as well as the return of some old favorites.
Our Adult Education series “Jerusalem Through The Ages” has been quite well attended and has provided the
class with some historical perspective, as well as some valuable insights into current events. Please join us as
the series continues on Tuesday, February 10th at 7:00 PM.

A WORD ABOUT ONEGS FROM DANA SAPPER
4080 Seconds
by Dana Sapper
The job of Oneg Shopper takes me a total of one hour and eight minutes, once a month. Here is how I
do it:
I shop Friday morning for the stuff I need: a bit of fruit, some veggies, creamer, soda, if it's on sale,
something salty, something sweet to bake. Usually I do my personal shopping at the same time, so I
wouldn't count that as an outlay of any time. I go home and mix up the cake or cookies and pop them in
the oven. That takes literally 10 minutes. While that's in the oven, I cut up the fruit and veggies. 15
minutes, tops. When the oven timer dings, I take out the cookies and platter them. 3 more minutes. Put
it all into a bag and drive to Temple. 25 minutes, but that's just because I don't live in Burbank. I put the
stuff in the kitchen, then go into the office and fill out a check request, so they pay me back for the
market run. 15 minutes in and out the door.
That's a total of 68 minutes to do a mitzvah that benefits the Temple in a big way. 4080 seconds. I bet
all of us can spare an hour once a month to help out our community. And, the more people who
volunteer, the less often each person does it! So if you and three friends sign up, you only will be doing
it once every two months!!
There are lots of temples that don't have an oneg. Many just have some coffee and some cookies. But
our oneg offers a lovely spread every Shabbat. Why does that matter? It means that members linger
just a bit longer and enjoy some fellowship after the service. It also feels haimish. That warm, friendly
feeling is what sets us apart from the big congregations, and what makes us special. When I was
looking at temples, I noticed the oneg right away. I felt the warmth of the congregation in that little bit of
food.
Help us keep this tradition alive, and to create that haimish feeling. Please call Laura Soroka at
(818) 582-3077 and volunteer to be an oneg shopper. Even calling her will only take about 120
seconds of your time.

TO ASSIST IN MAKING FRIDAY NIGHT
ONEG SHABBATS POSSIBLE.
SPONSORS SUPPLY THE DELICIOUS SNACKS THAT CONGREGANTS
AND GUEST ENJOY WHILE SOCIALIZING AFTER SERVICES.
SHOPPERS PURCHASE THE TASTY SNACKS WITH A SET BUDGET
WHEN THE TEMPLE IS THE HOST.
We have a serious shortage of shopping, setup and cleanup volunteers. Can you
find it in your heart to contribute your time and/or sponsor an Oneg Shabbat?

Tribute Cards
Tribute cards are always in order for happy or sad
occasions. These cards are a wonderful way to remember or
honor someone.
Did you know that you can get on an automatic mailing to
those in need of well wishes by contacting the office?
A card will automatically be sent from Tribute Chair John Eisenger in your name to those in need of healing and an
amount of $3 will be added to your bill each time a card is sent
in your name.
Contact John Eisenger at (818) 842-5439.
