Ten people volunteered at the West Side Campaign Against Hunger on Wednesday, January 7th.

FEBRUARY 2015 3 WEST SIDE CAMPAIGN AGAINST HUNGER On the bitter cold morning of W e d n e s d a y, J a n u a r y 7 t h , t e n Habonimers met at WSCAH’s 86th St. basement-of-a-church location for a tour and a couple of hours of volunteering. The program was organized by Vicki Brown, Program VP of Sisterhood. West Side Campaign Against Hunger is an organization that has been serving the needs of a broad swath of the Upper West Side for more than 30 years. People in need are treated with dignity. In an orderly process, with never more than a 10-minute wait, clients are admitted to a small, supermarket-like space where they may choose their groceries rather than receiving a prepacked bag of food that may or may not be what they want or be able to use. FEBRUARY 2015 Nutritional guidance is given beforehand, and clients choose 3 balanced meals with quantities for three days per month as determined by family size. Congregation Habonim has had a longstanding relationship with WSCAH going back more than a decade. The mother of our former Rabbi Joanna Samuels was a member of the Board of WSCAH and Habonim makes regular contributions to this day. In the fall of 2011, Sisterhood had the Director, Doreen Wohl, speak at our Sukkot program. As part of a “new year’s resolution,” Sisterhood Board would like to make volunteering at WSCAH a regularly- scheduled opportunity, and the event on January 7th crystallized how that can happen - but volunteers are needed! We would like to start small, with a planned group visit to volunteer every other month. If we can get a core group - NO LONG-TERM COMMITMENT NECESSARY - we will consider bumping up to monthly. If you would like to see what it’s all about and you can spare a few hours, please meet us on Thursday, March 12th, 9:30 am, at 263 W. 86th St. (basement entrance of the church, near West End Ave.). RSVP to [email protected] or call the office, ext. 100. At least one Sisterhood Board member will be at each session. We hope to see you there! 4 Rabbi Katzan (continued from p.1) What is Mishloach Manot and why should I order it? These questions come up every year around this time … so here’s the scoop: Mishloach Manot (Hebrew: משלוח מנות, literally, "sending of portions”; also known as “Shalach Manes” in Yiddish), are gifts of food or drink that are sent to friends, fellow congregants, relatives and any other acquaintances on Purim. The mitzvah (commandment) of Mishloach Manot comes from the Book of Esther, which commands us to observe Purim "as days of feasting and gladness, and send portions of food to one another, and gifts to the poor" (9:22). This verse refers to two mitzvot: sending at least two different, ready-to-eat foods and/or drinks to someone, and distributing two charitable donations (money or food) to people in need. The purpose of these mitzvot is to ensure that everyone has enough food for the Purim feast, and to increase love and friendship among Jews. So, why should I order Mishloach Manot from Habonim? First and foremost, to fulfill the mitzvah! But also, because ordering Mishloach Manot from Habonim is a fundraiser for the Congregation. Many synagogues facilitate the performance of the Purim mitzvot by creating and distributing Mishloach Manot gifts that are purchased by their members and also by donating some portion of the funds raised to a charity involved in feeding the hungry. Each year, Sisterhood does this at Habonim too. Sisterhood prepares and delivers festive holiday gift bags, containing several delicious items of food and/or drink, to the people who you designate on your order form. If more than one member of the congregation orders Mishloach Manot to be sent to the same recipient, Sisterhood still sends just one gift bag, but indicates that the gift was sent from more than one member of the congregation (that’s how the process becomes a fundraiser). Most of the money raised from this initiative goes to the synagogue, a small portion goes to support other Sisterhood programs, and 10% goes to a hunger relief organization chosen each year by the participants in our Religious School. So by ordering Mishloach Manot from Habonim, one fulfills the mitzvah by sending actual gifts of food and drink and also by making a charitable contribution to an organization that has as its mission hunger relief. Please help Habonim and do your part to fulfill the mitzvah by ordering Mishloach Manot to be sent to people within the Habonim community or to friends and family anywhere. It’s one sure positive way to defeat Haman and to strengthen our community! Thank you on behalf of Sisterhood! - Mary Sanders, Chr. Mishloach Manot FEBRUARY 2015 in raising ethical questions about self-imposed limits on how one conducts business, especially in the sensitive realm of competition in the marketplace, etc. Imagine wanting success for your competitors as much as you want success for yourself. As a contemplative principle, spending time thinking in these terms allows for the generation of a more giving and compassionate nature, even if we don't necessarily change our business plan. Rabbi Shai Held, a colleague and teacher, gives this practice real strength. He would propose to a congregation of young adults in their 20's to consider this commandment in terms of what they most deeply desired for themselves, and then to pray and wish it for their friends even before receiving it themselves. "Imagine," he taught, "praying for that perfect partner in life, and then praying that that happiness should first go to your friend, even before yourself." It is very powerful to think about what we most desire in the inner sanctum of our soul, and then wish that for someone else. Doing this as a practice might help build space within our heart and mind to hold our fellow's interests as our own. It is from that place that this mitzvah can help us grow in myriad other ways into our most prized achievement of all: being a mensch, being a good, compassionate, and wholehearted human being.

We had our first RS sessions in our new space and our 3rd-5th graders enjoyed 'breaking in' our new space with a sleepover. We are looking forward to celebrating Tu'Bshvat together with model seders led by Rabbi Josh and Cantor Bruce. Our teens joined Ansche Chesed for an MLK day of service. We are looking forward to our 'Zumb-dalah' (Zumba and Havdalah) event, led by our very own Kori Rehfield. Look below for some fun pictures from the sleepover! Sarahann Goldstein Assistant Director of Education/ Youth & Family Programming The Nursery School returned from winter break to a busy schedule of playing, learning and celebrating in the new space. The children and parents alike were thrilled to start the new year off in the brightly-lit classrooms at 101 and the transition to our new space has gone smoothly for the teachers as well. Most of our classes read stories about Martin Luther King Day and engaged in ageappropriate discussions. Our parents and greater community celebrated Habonim on the evening of January 29th for our Annual NS Fundraiser, at which Elisa Winokur was honored for her tireless efforts on behalf of the Nursery School. Our utmost gratitude to our parents who worked with so much dedication, commitment and creativity to make the evening a success. Among other things, proceeds from our fundraisers are used to purchase new equipment and material for the children’s use, replenish our Clara Zeitlin Scholarship Fund, and afford us the opportunity to offer enrichment to the children through Science, Movement and Music Teachers and special field trips. At the beginning of February, we look with excitement to celebrating Tu B’Shevat, "the new year of trees," with visits from Rabbi Josh and Cantor Bruce, learning about Israel and sampling foods that grow on trees there, such as dates and grapes. FEBRUARY 2015 By the end of February, we will complete the admissions process that began last fall and, in March, we will look forward to welcoming many new families, our returning families, and those returning with younger children, to our school. Current Nursery School parents have been instrumental in that process as well, accompanying me and Ann on tours, welcoming prospective parents who have come to visit the school, speaking on a panel for prospective parents, and greeting parents and their children when they have come to Habonim for one-on-one admissions “play visits.” I can’t thank all of the parents enough for making such meaningful contributions to our school. All these personalized efforts demonstrate that we are truly a close-knit community working together to make Habonim the special place that it is for our families. As always, please feel free to stop by if you wish to discuss anything. Ann and I look forward to welcoming everyone in our new office.
