ADAR II 5782 | MARCH 2022| VOLUME 99 ISSUE 69
RABBI FERRATIER’S FINDINGS Early March is a time of surprises. Will it still feel like the endless part of February, or will it tease us with the first hints of spring? Should we bundle up in our heavy coats and boots, or should we optimistically pull out our lighter-weight jackets? Rabbi Ferratier
It just so happens that it is the early part of a Hebrew month as well. Adar II begins on March 3. You might remember back around Labor Day, everyone wondered why the High Holidays were so early, and certainly none of us can forget that we lit Chanukah candles while we were still stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner. Whenever the holidays fall so “early,” it’s a pretty good indication that we’ll be going into a leap year on the Hebrew Calendar. On the secular calendar, the leap year is a single day, and mostly a source of humor. In the Hebrew calendar, it is an entire month, and we really feel its effects. When we have both Adar I and Adar II, we put off all of the commemorations which occur in Adar I until Adar II. That means if one had a birthday or a Yahrzeit on 5 Adar, this year, it occurs on 5 Adar II. Whereas Purim is normally celebrated on 14 Adar I, this year, it is on 14 Adar II. If Purim feels “late” this year, this is the reason why.
This delay seems like a perfect metaphor for the way in which many of us have been feeling. Two years into the pandemic world, it feels as though much of what we look forward to has been delayed. I can’t tell you how many people I know have postponed weddings, b’nai mitzvah celebrations, milestone birthdays and anniversaries, and vacations. It’s as though our joy has been put on hold, and the winter Omicron spikes seemed to push these things off even further. It's easy to feel discouraged, and even understandable. I think we’re all impatient, and are just ready for it all to be over. However, just like winter itself, it ends in its own time. It’s not something that we get to control. In this sense, we’ve all been stuck in Adar I, holding our breaths for Adar II. Just as with this leap year, even though the joy of our Purim celebrations is delayed by the calendar, we know it’s still coming. It’s almost here. We can taste it. We just need to hold out a little longer. Similarly, with the rest of our lives, we know that restrictions imposed by the latest surge of the virus will go away, but we are tired and impatient. However, we know it’s coming. Just as with Purim, the anticipation of our joy will make its arrival all the more sweet.
One side effect of having the holidays fall later in the spring is that winter seems a little longer. It feels like a long time since May the joy of Adar find all of us, so that we Chanukah, and usually, Purim is a bright spot can celebrate the end of winter, the coming to lighten up the endless part of winter. This of Purim, and the feeling that we can (both year, that bright spot feels delayed. literally and figuratively) breathe more easily.

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Bob Spector
Shalom Chaverim,
I hope you have stayed warm and healthy through the depths of winter. March is upon us, Spring is near, and we will soon be celebrating several joyous holidays characterized by heroism and the conquering of our fears. One of the joys of being the synagogue president is having the opportunity to meet, greet, and get to know our members on Shabbat mornings. I recently had a conversation with a member who shared with me a conversation she had with her grandmother who was well into her 90s. The Bar Mitzvah of her great grandson was approaching, and she was being urged to stay home because of the pandemic. Her response was precious and went something like this: What? I should stay home by myself while you all are at shul celebrating? If I get sick and die, it will be with my final memory being with my family in shul celebrating my great grandson’s Bar Mitzvah. This poignant story got me thinking, who is our enemy? Chris and I have unfortunately experienced the trifecta (all three of our kids) of one of a parent’s worst nightmares - a text message stating, “I’m in lockdown.” During Rachel’s freshman year at The Ohio State University, she was in a classroom when a crazed individual right outside was using a machete to attack students. She heard shots fired not realizing that security killed the perpetrator. This past December, Rebecca was in lockdown at the school where she teaches because two students were found with guns in their backpacks. Finally, over New Year’s weekend, Ari and Kayla (my son and daughter-in-law) were in the Mall of America in Minneapolis when a shooting occurred at a jewelry store within the mall and were in lockdown inside a restaurant there. Fortunately, my kids are fine, and I was probably more traumatized by these events than they were. Lockdowns, active shooters, school violence, synagogues under attack, hostage taking, political unrest, and maybe our greatest nemesis of all is an invisible killer. There is enough out there to keep us in a chronic state of high anxiety and fearfulness. My children’s unimaginable (unfortunately, now very imaginable) experiences and my unapologetic response of abject fear has had me wondering, who is my enemy? We live in a world that understandably promotes fear, but do I have to be ruled by, often to the point of feeling paralyzed by that fear? Our CBS member’s story of her grandmother offers us another perspective. Perhaps, when we reach 90 years old, we can be more pragmatic and conclude we have less to lose. It is harder to take calculated risks if we are hoping for many more decades of quality of life. I am hearing from congregants that with the recent synagogue attack in Colleyville, TX (a reminder of our vulnerability as Jews), combined with the recent surge in COVID, they are afraid to be in our building. While this saddens me, I completely understand. The world today is clearly impacting my overall heightened state of anxiety related to my family’s safety and well-being as well as my Congregation’s safety and well-being. I can live with anxiety but living in a chronic state of fear is becoming intolerable. The fear for our compromised health created by the pandemic may be the greatest assault on our spirit and mental well-being. I am working hard to not be ruled by that fear (some days are better than others). I am determined to have CBS be part of the solution for all of you as it has become for me. I believe there are ways to combat (or at least reduce the paralyzing effects of) our fears, and I am calling upon all of you to help. When you see me on Shabbat mornings share with me your victories so I can share them with everyone. I steadfastly believe in the power of our community and that the solutions are well within our grasps. Stay safe, and equally important stay hopeful! L’Shalom, Bob

CANTOR’S NOTES
Emunah Almansoori & Ari Lesser
Who doesn’t like a good party? Who wouldn’t be excited to receive an invitation to celebrate in a castle? Haman that’s who. The scheme for his party did not go as planned. How cool would it be to be told by your parent, teacher or boss that going to a party was mandated of you? Purim is such a day. It is a mandate by Jewish Law that you go to this party, that you have fun at the party and that you drink wine and dance at the party. And it is going to be such a extraordinary time that, it’s taught in our tradition that even after life as we know it comes to an end, in the Messianic times, we will be recalling and retelling the story and the details of why this party was so memorable. In the history of the Jewish People our survival has been at stake countless times. Because of our modest population count throughout the millennium, one might think we would’ve already diminished to the point of extinction. There were natural consequences of being a small tribe of people. There was also warfare and anti-Semitic attempts at exterminating our people. Times, such as the era during which Chanukah took place, there was an attempt at obliterating our spiritual peoplehood and forcing conversion to Hellenism. The Purim story is one of Haman’s attempts at our physical annihilation. He failed, we were saved and we party! This year we will be celebrating in a unique way. Of course we’ll retain the traditions of reading Megillat Esther. The other holiday traditions of sharing gifts of food with friends and gifting to the poor shall also be observed. But this year we will host two delightful people with remarkable talents and stories. Seen above are our guests, Ari Lesser and his wife, Emunah Almansoori. Ari is a singer, songwriter, rapper, and spoken word artist from Cleveland, Ohio. There are a lot of videos and articles written about his talent that you can find throughout the internet. He enjoys stepping into character and rapping on countless topics. For us he will be focusing on Purim and the story of Esther and Mordechai and Judaism, of course. He is even open to taking challenges from the audience for spontaneous rap. Emunah is a fascinating person: Born in Dubai and raised in Bahrain as a Muslim, she moved to America, met Ari and converted to Orthodox Judaism. Emunah often tells the story of her personal journey through cooking demonstrations, blending Muslim and Jewish favorites, but sadly COVID won’t let us have that much fun at this party. (see page 5 for all of our CBS Purim activities that include Ari Lesser and Emunah Almansoori) 4

SISTERHOOD Jackie Zelkowitz
Sisterhood had a great February. Almost one hundred people joined us – in-person – for Sisterhood Shabbat! Despite masks and social distancing, it felt almost (dare I say it) normal. Of course, many more joined us online, but it was wonderful to see so many people back in the synagogue. It was the warm, special evening that we remember from pre-pandemic days. Roz Mokhtarian and Elissa Pelts did an amazing job of organizing the service and coordinating all of our participating members. I cannot thank them and Jody Sigal, our Sisterhood Education VP, enough. Of course, thank you to all of the women of Sisterhood who participated in the service. It was a special evening because of all of you.
Roberta Rosenthal Kwall spoke to us about her book, Remix Judaism: Preserving Tradition in a Diverse World via Zoom. She talked to us about developing a richer set of cultural Jewish norms in a remixed world. Thank you to Debbie Bell for all of her hard work on bringing us this event. Thank you to Ellen Grossman, Sara Weinstein and Andy Widen who organized our Jan Blum Memorial Game event. The members had a great time connecting while playing classic table games of Mah Jongg, Canasta and Bridge.
Some upcoming events: Celebrate Torah Fund’s 80th Anniversary at our Torah Fund Event featuring JTS Cantorial Student, Josh Ehrlich, on Sunday, March 6th. This event will take place via Zoom. More information follows in this Bulletin on page 16. On Thursday, March 10th, Edwards Florist of Northbrook will be at the synagogue to help us design floral arrangements for our Shabbat tables. This event is offered both in-person and via Zoom. If you wish to attend online, you will be able to pick up the flowers directly from Edwards Florist and participate from the comfort of your home. Believe it or not, it’s time for Sisterhood to start getting ready to bake for Passover Kiddushim, and we will need volunteers to help. Robin Bright has generously offered to help us lead the baking which will take place from Tuesday, March 29th through Thursday, March 31st. Please go to the flyer in this Bulletin (page 9) and use the link to sign up. We cannot wait to finally be able to have Passover Kiddushim in the synagogue again.

Groundbreaking scientist Rosalind Franklin is the fascinating subject of Marie Benedict’s latest novel, Her Hidden Genius. Benedict writes about the often unknown but key women of the past and Rosalind Franklin makes a perfect subject. Central to this captivating plot is Franklin’s quest to solve the mystery of DNA. We meet Franklin in 1947 when she is 27 years old. She has moved from London to work at a lab in Paris and is enjoying all aspects of her life there, especially the comradery with her coworkers. A problematic romantic entanglement causes Franklin to leave her beloved Paris and return to London. Franklin works tirelessly at studying DNA as a Fellow at King’s College. Ultimately the double helix structure of DNA is revealed to her with perfect clarity. Franklin’s elation in her discovery is marred when she becomes embroiled in a backstabbing race for credit. She questions who she can trust with the details of her historic discovery. Benedict successfully injects warmth into Franklin’s sterile scientific world by delving into her relationships. Franklin was raised in London and is part of a wealthy Jewish family that devotes much of their free time to philanthropy. Franklin's father would prefer his daughter apply her energies to volunteering rather than solve one of the world's greatest scientific mysteries. Although Franklin struggles to fit in with her close-knit family, she conquers adversity that comes from being a brilliant female scientist in a man's world. Her Hidden Genius is an excellent novel because it educates and entertains. Thankfully, Benedict chose to reveal the brilliance of Rosalind Franklin to us all.
