President The Shaarey Zedek Synagogue was built in 1949, this marked the establishment of the first large synagogue in Winnipeg's south end. Distinctly modernist in character, its form was conceived as a collection of box-like shapes with the interior space flowing freely between sections. The architects were Green Blankstein Russell and Associates. There was a renovation done in the 1970s but since then little has been done to this iconic building. The deferred maintenance has been discussed for years but little has been done to bring our shuI up to current standards. The HVAC, the boiler, all needs replacing. So, my message for this Pesach Shofar is about our journey over the next couple of years. In the tradition of the Haggadah, there are four questions to be asked and answered.
1) Where will we be relocating to? 2) When will this begin? 3) How will we function? 4) When will we be back home? The answers are: We are in the final phase of negotiating for our temporary home. This should be finalized very soon. It will be familiar to everybody and welcoming. In looking for a temporary home, I have to say that the Jewish community has been welcoming. We have had offers from Etz Chayim, Temple Shalom, and the kitchen at Herzlia. Our latest move out date from Akman Consulting and Number 10 architect, is June 30. This could change depending upon the proposed daycare. (part of our design is a daycare, this will be run by the Rady JCC, in our lower lounge).

We are very fortunate to have an amazing executive director, clergy and staff and a very organized L'Dor Va Dor committee chaired by Neil Duboff. It will be business as usual. We hope to be back home in 2 years. Please visit www.szfuture.ca and view the latest renderings from our architects. This is a work in progress, and your input is appreciated. Your Board of Directors is working on the questions that were raised at the AGM, the membership retention issue, our marketing plan, our investment portfolio, our cemetery. To aid in putting the pieces of this puzzle together, we are planning a board
retreat and including other important players. So while we are out of the building we will be hard at work providing the governance that we need. It has been a long time coming, we must thank Lorne Weiss and Frank Hechter for their dedication to this project.

Campaign and Renovation Update Mar 30 Dear Friends, We are pleased to share with you, progress that continues to be made on the building project and capital campaign: Following consultation with our Board of Directors, the Rady JCC, The Province of Manitoba, Number TEN Architectural Group and Akman Construction, we are excited to announce that plans are proceeding for the creation of an onsite daycare facility as part of our building renovation project. The space will accommodate 30 children in total – 26 preschool-aged and 4 infants. It will be operated in partnership with Rady JCC, who will be responsible for running the program and providing staff. We anticipate receiving revised floor plans for the lower level, and a revised hard cost budget, in May, from Number TEN and Akman Construction, respectively, which we will continue to share. Updated design plans were received from Number TEN Architectural Group in early March, from which a booklet, highlighting the key renovation elements to date, was created and circulated. With the addition of the daycare space to be situated where the Lower Level Lounge is, revised plans will be circulated. In the meantime, we strongly encourage members to share their comments regarding the renovation via email to campaign@szfuture.ca. Check out our FAQ section for updated information by visiting www.szfuture.ca/FAQ The first phase of the project is set to begin in early July and will focus on asbestos removal, roof work, HVAC upgrades and data wiring upgrades. Information continues to be added to our campaign website, www.szfuture.ca. Click the link to be taken to the website where you can find the Renovation Project booklet, previous announcements, FAQ section, and more. The next member update is scheduled for the end of April so please watch for that. We will continue to share new information as it is confirmed. As always, keep well, and thank you for your continued interest and support!

A Message From
Ran Ukashi
Executive Director The ultimate meaning of Passover is the redemption of the Jewish People not only from slavery, but from their own waywardness after centuries of exile in Egypt. We are all familiar with the story of Moses being raised in the Egyptian royal court, his calling by God to deliver the Jewish People, the ten plagues of Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the ultimate freeing of the Nation of Israel and the beginning of 40 long years in the desert where we received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and—finally—entered the Promised Land of Israel. However, one oft-forgotten element of the meaning of Passover is why it was necessary in the first place. The Jewish People had fallen to such a low level of holiness, retaining only their Hebrew names, language, mode of dress, and overall Jewish identity, but in many other ways had adopted the traditions and customs of the Egyptians. The Egyptians worshipped idols, engaged in brutal slavery and all other manner of immoral behaviour, which negatively influenced the Jewish People—so much so that even in the face of God’s deliverance did the better part of the Jewish People resort to the building of the golden calf as Moses was receiving the Ten Commandments from God shortly after their deliverance from Egypt.
Where the fate of the Jews were once in the hands of brutal tyrants, now they had their autonomy under an eternal covenant with God. And in all of this, Jews were not “passive” in what transpired throughout the events of Passover. While God led them out of Egypt “with a strong hand and an outstretched arm,” the Jews did their part by committing to being better, to obeying God’s commandments, to trusting in God, to turn their backs on Egypt and toward their own destiny, and to understand that this is not the end of their journey, but merely the beginning. The beginning of many other beginnings.

How then, is Passover a story about redemption? The very name of the Holiday “Passover” refers to the passing of the Angel of Death over the houses of the Jewish People in Egypt, sparing them from the tenth and most terrible plague—the Death of the Firstborn Son, but also alludes to a general state of transience. To pass over from one state of being to the next. Where the Jews were once wayward, they were now to be honoured with the Holy Torah. Where the Jews were once slaves, they were now free.

... Continued from last page Today, as always, we can take the message of Passover and incorporate it into our daily lives. At the local level of the Winnipeg Jewish community, we see in every generation the need to engage in active redemption to benefit each other. For instance, the importance of raising and educating our children in the Jewish religion and our traditions was never emphasized more than in the Passover story where the Jewish People had to reacquaint themselves with their faith and Peoplehood. Today we are fortunate that as a community we can invest time and effort into such endeavours, and as such part of Congregation Shaarey Zedek’s renovation plans includes the creation of an onsite daycare facility in partnership with the Rady Jewish Community Centre to pass on our Jewish tradition to the next generation. This is a joyous form of redemption in which we consistently renew ourselves and our People from generation to generation. However, in the redemptive message of Passover there is also the unmistakable lesson of the need to stand up to tyranny, and in defence of the Jewish People against those who wish to destroy us. Pharoah—despite provoking God’s wrath with his insolence, which resulted in the visitation of ten terrible plagues upon Egypt—nevertheless ordered his army to chase, capture, and enslave the fleeing Jewish People once more. Whereas the Egyptians had sought to subdue the Jews out of fear that they were becoming too numerous in the Land of Egypt, and enslaving them to break their spirit, the tyrannical Pharoah wanted nothing more to subdue the Jewish People even when they were no longer a “threat” to Egypt.
And it is the Torah that has stood by our ancestors and for us. For not only one enemy has risen up to destroy us, but in every generation they rise up to destroy us. But the Holy Blessed One, delivers us from their hands. In recent weeks we have been reminded of this all too familiar theme in Jewish history, that in every generation, there are those who rise up and seek to destroy us—both in body and spirit—and that our redemption is ongoing. In Israel over the past several weeks, fourteen people have been cruelly murdered, and dozens injured in a series of stabbing, vehicle-ramming, and shooting attacks in Israel by vicious terrorists who are part of that dubious legacy we cite yearly when reciting Vehi Sheamda. But as always, the message of Passover and of the Jewish People as a whole is always to lean towards optimism. We will defeat and outlive our enemies, and rise high above them, and we will continue to strive towards teaching the Torah to the next generation, build our communities, and go from strength to strength. Chag Pesach Kasher v’Sameach to you and your family,
ran@szwinnipeg.ca 204 975 3482
So too, today, does the process of redemption play a role in the lives of the Jewish People. Once again, the Jewish People have reconstituted themselves in their ancestral and indigenous homeland in the modern State of Israel, and like so many times in the past we have faced threats against our existence. As we say in the Vehi Sheamda at the Passover Seder year after year:

Who Am I?
Every year we read and sing the “Avadim Hayinu”, “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt… now we are free”. It’s an interesting statement and one that inevitably triggers modern comparisons between our slavery in Egypt with other ways of oppression. It clearly states that we are free from Pharaoh, but it doesn’t mean that we are automatically free from other forms of slavery. At the same time, it presents a glimmer of hope, inviting us to face our own limitations and everything that weighs us down -the things that prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. It implies that if God did it for us back then God can do it again for us today. After all, according to Zohar, the name “Mitzrayim”, Egypt, is derived from “m’tzarim”, narrow places. When God took us out of Mitzrayim, God also took us out from a place of limited opportunities, tight control, and narrowmindedness.
But something else happened. Still in front of the burning bush, Moses asks for God’s name: “And God said to Moses, my name is ‘Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh,’ (I am who I am)”. Strange name, if you ask me. Why not say “I’m the God who created you”, or “I’m the God who made a covenant with Abraham”. Why simply “I am who I am”? I believe that God’s introduction is teaching us a valuable lesson when we want to break free from our own Mitzrayim: It’s not about what God did in the past, but about who God is.
Continued on next page ...
Happy Pesach!
But sometimes we forget that nothing happened to the Israelites until they made the decision to leave Mitzrayim. We read in Exodus 2:23, “…the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help.” Once they recognized that they were not created to be slaves, limited, or oppressed and they were able to say out loud “I didn’t come to this world to live in a Mitzrayim, in a narrow place” things were set in motion and the deliverance was inevitable. Immediately after we read the episode of the burning bush where Moses Is appointed as the deliverer of the Israelites.

A Message From Rabbi Aníbal Mass
... Continued from last page Getting to know God based on what God did is a form of limiting God. Yes, God created the world and yes, God made a covenant with Abraham, but our actions never define who we are. And we are the same. It’s not about what you did in the past, it’s about who you ARE. Let me explain. In one of the Torah portions that we read two weeks before Passover, we study about the “Metzorah”, a person with a lesion on their skin. The Torah says: “the priest shall examine the lesion… then the Cohen should look again.” Why the repetition? The Rabbis explain that the first time the priest should look at the lesion but immediately after the priest should look at the person afflicted by that lesion.
Happy Pesach!
That’s because a person is not defined by their affliction. The person, no matter what, is always an image of God, and even the priest had to be reminded of that. God says: “I am what I am”, so we, children of God, are who we are, not what we do, not what we did, not what we have or not have and not the names that we’ve been called. You are a gambler! No, you are not a gambler. That’s what you do, not who you are. You’re not a drug addict. Drugs is what you do, not who you are. You may have failed but you are not a failure. That’s what you did, not who you are. If we want to experience freedom, we need to break free from defining people (including ourselves) by what they have or what they do. Instead, just like God told Moses, we are who we ARE. And we all are the image of God. If you think that way, you will be on your way to leaving Mitzraim, leaving everything that is limiting you, and moving towards a better place and freedom. Ashira, Ronen and I wish you all a Chag Pesach Kasher v'Sameach

A Message From Cantor Leslie Emery
Two Passovers have come and gone since the pandemic began and the world has been changing drastically along with it. Many of us have faced and continue to face challenges we had never envisioned. With war in Ukraine, Climate Change and so many issues confronting us, it can seem daunting at times finding a way forwards. A picture of my Great Grandma, Lily Koven z”l, has been smiling at me in my kitchen this whole time, thoughts of her and the challenges she faced in her own life guiding me along. My Great Grandma was blessed with a long life, and I am grateful for the many memories I have of her. She lived through World War I and the Spanish Flu. She experienced the Great Depression and found herself alone, raising four children during World War II as my Great Grandfather Sam Koven z”l trained soldiers overseas. She made it through the tough times. By the time I arrived on the planet, the world was becoming more stable and I was fortunate to be raised in easier times. As we navigate the challenges of the present there is much inspiration to be drawn from the past. We are not the first to live in troubled times, or to require courage to face the future. I am fortunate to have many strong women in my family to draw inspiration from, like my Grandma Rhoda, who had a stellar career as a fashion reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press while raising five children. I still marvel at how she managed it all! Having a career and a family was not the norm at the time and I am so grateful for those who forged the path ahead of me so that I might live my life to the fullest. I draw inspiration from my Mother, Lisa Hajer, who has built her life on her own terms and is a supportive and caring person, no matter what life sends her way. Sometimes following the path already

travelled works. However sometimes, we need some outside of the box thinkers to forge the way ahead. The Book of Exodus is the second book in the Torah Scroll. This is the book that contains the story of Passover and the Exodus from Egypt. Though when we think of the Exodus from Egypt we usually think immediately of Moses and Aaron and the conflict with Pharaoh, the book of Exodus is filled with rebel women who stand up against the injustices of the time. Often the word rebel is viewed as negative, however there are times when the world needs rebels, when we need those who are strong enough to speak up against injustice and fight against oppression. The very act of being Jewish and practicing Judaism has been an act of rebellion many times throughout history and still is, as incidences of Antisemitism rise. Shortly after the book of Exodus opens, we hear the story of the midwives, Shifra and Puah, who rejected Pharaoh’s order to kill all Jewish baby boys born at that time. They directly defied the orders at risk for their own lives. Further along in the narrative we meet Moses’s Mother, Yocheved. Yocheved gives birth to a baby boy and sneaks him down to the river, asking her daughter Miriam to follow the basket containing her baby brother as he floats along. There we encounter another rebel woman, one who’s name is not included in the Torah, Bat Paraoh, Pharaoh’s daughter who saves Moses and raises him as her son. At the conclusion of the Passover story we find the Jewish people, safe from Pharaoh, across the Sea of Reeds (Red Sea), celebrating in song with none other than Miriam who is counted among our

... Continued from last page Prophets and who some consider to be the very first Cantor, as she led everyone in song after making it safely to the other side. As we gather to recount this ancient chapter in Jewish History, let’s also remember that we are not the first or the last to face troubled times. Let’s remember that we all have a role to play in healing the world. Let’s remember the rebel women of the Exodus, who defied orders that contradicted the basic values of life. Let’s care

Keeping the Passover Story Alive in Every Generation
A Message From Dr. Rena Secter Elbaze,
Engagement and Education Director As we bustle around preparing to celebrate Passover this year, we must pause and ask ourselves why this holiday continues to occupy an important place in the Jewish psyche. Passover continues to be very relevant and has stood the test of time; but why? And how? Let’s start by looking at how our observance of this holiday has kept it alive for so many generations. I don’t use the word “alive” lightly… we are commanded to tell the Passover story to our children in the first person, as if we ourselves had experienced it… to bring it to life for future generations. Jewish law and practice has many mechanisms built into it that help to reinforce our memory and observance. There are three types of laws in the Torah that have this function: Mishpatim, Edot and Chukim . As far as the observance of Passover goes, we will concentrate on the concept of Edot which are commandments that testify to an idea, or mark an occasion, like Passover. The actual performance of the mitzvah reminds us of an event or a concept. Jews celebrate their freedom from the slavery of Egypt by thanking God, participating in a Seder filled with actions directly related to the Exodus, and by eliminating bread and leavened products, just as our ancestors did.
204 452 3711
/ShaareyZedekWinnipeg
The Edot, the testimonies, do not just mark days or items as part of our history, but enable us to make the spiritual connection that bonds all Jews - past, present, and future. Edot is derived from the word ed, witness in Hebrew. Each of us is supposed to feel as if they personally witnessed the Exodus from Egypt. By enacting the story of the Exodus, we are doing a mitzvah (commandment) to activate our collective memory and connect it to something personal so that it continues to remain relevant for every generation as well as for each individual. In this case, we do the mitzvot to remind us of something specific. The mitzvah acts as a symbol of a concept. But it's clear that to be an effective reminder we must understand the symbol and the concept. One of the reasons we have been so successful in keeping the Passover story alive is through the event of the Seder where we take the time to explain the purpose of each symbol and what it represents. The Passover story that we tell during the Seder clearly reminds us that in each generation our right to live as a free people has been threatened. Continued on next page ...

Judaism and the Afterlife
... Continued from last page In modern times, the antisemitism that has denied us this right, has been disguised as anti-Zionism… not constructive criticism but an outright denial of our right to selfdetermination as a people. Recounting the Passover story reminds us that we must not take our freedom, or the freedom of other nations, for granted. As we have witnessed the threat to freedom in the western world in the past months, as a people, we must continue to stand for freedom in our generation. This Passover, my wish is that we continue to stand for freedom and the practice of Tikun Olam, repairing the world, that is one of the responsibilities of being a free people. If you would like to know more, or volunteer at one of our programs, please feel free to be in touch.

Better Together A Message From Tali Millo,
Program Director and Lay Clergy How wonderful it has been to be able to celebrate the Jewish holidays together! Now more than ever, we are reminded that celebrating the chaggim is always better when we are together. As always, Purim was a fun and festive holiday for the whole family! We kickstarted our Purim celebrations with a delicious virtual Shabbat celebration with PJ Library! Families picked up yummy calzone dinners and Purim craft-kits. We joined together on Zoom to welcome in Shabbat and get a head start on celebrating Chag Purim! The best part of the holidays is coming together as a community, and the Purim CARnival allowed us to do just that! Together with Congregation Etz Chayim, Adas Yeshurun Herzlia Congregation, PJ Library, PJ Our Way, BBYO, and the Rady JCC we organized a two-stop outdoor Purim CARnival. Carnival games, snacks, music, and more were located outside the shul and at the Asper Campus simultaneously. Families hopped to each location to see what exciting activities were going on! Together with our community partners we were able to pull off a fun, festive, and safe Purim carnival. The pinnacle of the Purim celebration is always the reading of Megillat Esther! We were thrilled to be able to welcome in-person attendees to listen to the story of Queen Esther and her bravery. Cantor Leslie Emery, Engagement and Education Director Dr. Rena Secter Elbaze, Melanie Richters, and Bryan Schwartz did an incredible job at chanting the story of Purim from our beautiful scroll. If you

were not able to attend, feel free to check it out online on our YouTube channel! It is hard to explain how excited we are to be hosting an in-person Congregational Seder for the first time in two years! On the second night of Pesach we will be hosting members of our congregation for a musical and family-friendly Seder. You cannot go wrong when you get to listen to the amazing musical contributions of Rabbi Mass and Cantor Leslie, while enjoying delicious food from Chef Joel Lafond! I cannot wait to see who finds the Afikoman (and wins an awesome prize package)! Our Seder will follow the Haggadot that were generously sponsored by Vickar Nissan. Copies of the Haggadah are available at the shul office for pick up as well as available online for viewing. If you didn’t get a chance to register for this in-person event, consider tuning in to the livestream beginning at 6:15 PM on Saturday, April 16th. You may wonder what we are doing on the first night of Pesach! Rabbi Mass invites you to join him, his wife Ashira, his son Ronen, and his mother-in-law Tzivie Meyers at their “Pajama Pyjama Seder.” This event will be livestreamed on YouTube, Facebook, and the Shaarey Zedek Website on Friday, April 15th. The evening will begin with Kabbalat Shabbat at 5:30 PM, and lead straight into the Mass-Meyers family seder. As for the name “Pajama Pyjama”? You will have to tune in to see what that is all about! We hope that you will join us for an interactive and musical family-friendly service. Continued on next page ... /SZWinnipeg

Sisterhood Book Club Facilitator: Rhonda Youell
Wed, May
4, 2:00p CDT
Join us for the spring book club meeting with our facilitator, Rhonda Youell - Retired Administrator, West Kildonan Collegiate. About the book: Hope Valley by Haviva Ner-David, is the poignant story of two women, one Jewish-Israeli and one Palestinian-Israeli, who come together to form the unlikeliest of friendships amidst nations in conflict. Tikvah and Ruby are two strong women who circle each other and in recognizing each other’s pain, offer hope that fear and resentment can grow into love.
... Continued from last page As we celebrate these holidays, we also must take the time to remember and acknowledge the darker times of our history. On Yom HaShoah – Thursday, April 28th – we will be hosting a commemorative service in partnership with the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada for all those that perished in the Holocaust. Megillat HaShoah will be read aloud by members of our community and allies that stand together with us to remember the atrocities of the Shoah. Please join us for this meaningful service. Please stay tuned for upcoming events for Yom Ha’atzmaut, Shavuot, and more!

Sisterhood
Sandy Polanski and Louise Raber Sisterhood Co-Presidents The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we are weak and sing with us when we are strong. - Sark This is a beautiful way to describe Sisterhood. When people say why join, this why! We have not been able to meet in person for almost 2 years, but we have been present in each other’s lives to help us withstand the often sad and fearful times. Many many phone calls, emails, FaceTimes and Zoom calls have connected the women of Shaarey Zedek to one another, to the women of the IntraContinental Region and to Women’s League International. In March Sandy and I attended a cooking demonstration from a Toronto Synagogue in partnership with Shaarey Zedek, taught by a former Winnipegger, using recipes from a cook book filled with recipes from Norene Gilletz z”l , also formally from Winnipeg. “The Brain Boosting Diet:Feed Your Memory” is filled with recipes and commentaries by Norene z”l and her friend a biochemical specialist Dr. Edward Wein z”l. The recipes and nutritional advice are for all, but especially people with memory loss, possible dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. The recipes are delicious and range from appetizers to main courses, soups, fish and dessert. The cookbook will be available in the Sisterhood Judaica Shop shortly. We will announce when the books arrive.

Rhonda Youell and the Sisterhood Book Club have emerged from Covid stronger than ever. The next gathering (last for 2021-2022) is on May 4th. The book is an Israeli novel entitled, “HOPE VALLEY” by Haviva Ner-David. A story of two women, one Jewish Israeli and Palestinian Israeli, who come together to form the unlikeliest of friendships. The book is available at the Kaufman Silverberg Library and on line. The ladies have decided to meet one last time on Zoom and start meeting in person in the Fall. All attendees must be Sisterhood members in good standing.

Willow Place is so thankful for the support we have given them with all the goods we have donated. Check on line for the most up to date “wish list”. There is a large bin in the synagogue lower level. Gloria Cantor is our chair person. Should you want to ask any questions, please contact Gloria through the synagogue office 204-452-3711 or email us at sisterhood@szwinnipeg.ca. We are thinking we can’t wait another year for Interfaith Luncheon, so plans are to have it as an opening function after the High Holidays. Stay tuned!! Of interest, Sisterhood financially supported the Purim Program in March. After much thought and agonizing, the Sisterhood Shabbat was cancelled by chairs Alice Weissmann and Bonnie Robinson. Our hope is that they will agree to chair again in 2023 and it will be bigger and better than ever. Intracontinental Region will be holding our Spring Conference April 30-May 2, 2022. It is VIRTUAL once again. Please contact Sisterhood if you are interested in attending. There are some funds available to subsidize the cost of attending on line. This is a wonderful opportunity to see Sisterhood on a Regional Level right from your own home. If you’ve thought about being more involved with Sisterhood on some level, member, chair of a program, volunteer etc, etc, this is a perfect opportunity!
Watch for you Torah Fund “TEALESS Tea” invitation via email (we’re still not comfortable to meet and assemble all the pieces of our usual invitation ). Sandy Polanski is chairing this event. Please give to support Torah Fund and the Jewish Theological Seminaries around the world. Donations of $180 or more, will be recognized with a Torah Fund Pin "B’Yachad” Meaning "TOGETHER". As Pesach approaches, and G-d willing Covid19 is leaving, Sandy and I along with the Sisterhood Board, wish you and your families good health and much happiness. May the plagues of the past, the virus of the present and the war created by an evil man become bad memories and together may we head into the future with much good health and happiness!! Chag Pesach Sameach!
