MAZAL TOV Kudos to Dr. Rod Plaster and Kara Starkman Plaster on the recent Tulsa World article spotlighting their selfless service to orthopedic patients in El Salvador. Together with a team including Hillary Roubein, another B’nai Emunah member, the Plasters accomplished life-changing surgery on indigent patients with no other recourse to reparative medical care.

We hope you noticed Aaron Miller’s comments in a recent article about downtown redevelopment and the importance of knitting together pedestrian zones for a richer urban experience. Speaking on behalf of the George Kaiser Family Foundation, Aaron spoke to the Tulsa World about issues like streetscaping and creating warmth and pleasure as an essential part of downtown planning.

Mazal tov to Dr. Eduardo Faingold, University of Tulsa Professor of Spanish and Linguistics, who has accepted an invitation to join the prestigious group responsible for analyzing language policy and advising the UN on language minority rights and endangered languages. The organization is known as the Study Group on Language and the United Nations. This is a lifetime appointment and reflects Dr. Faingold’s celebrated career in linguistics.

ON THE COVER This month’s cover is a detail from the painting that hangs in the Rothbaum Atrium of the Synagogoue. Painted by Mischa Kallis (1903 - 1987), it depicts the opening of the Torah Service in a traditional synagogue. Kallis was the art director for Universal Studios for many years, and part of a circle that included artists Raphael and Moses Soyer.

FROM RABBI FITZERMAN

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

SISTERHOOD

CENTENNIAL MESSENGER

ART FROM THE HEART

Here it is: a new version of the Messenger. I’m saying “a version” instead of anything else, because it reflects the way we have approached many different changes in Synagogue life. The idea (for me) is always to try something new, see if it works, and then keep tweaking it to make sure that it gets better and better. I hope that this kind of incrementalism makes sense to you. We’re all in this together, and I hope you’ll be in contact soon to say what you like, what you miss, and what needs to be different.

Imagine that you are just getting started again after a period of homelessness or dislocation. You have some tableware and a bed to sleep in, but your walls are bare and your apartment looks temporary. At the same time, you have to husband your resources and concentrate on the basics.

Enter “Art from the Heart.” The purpose of this project is to give framed artwork to the residents of community-supported housing in the Tulsa area. The Synagogue has now been the conduit for a significant flow of contributions. All you have to do is drop your gift off at the Synagogue. For information about pickup of your artwork at your home, please call Dr. Melissa Weiss at (918) 260-2294.

For font nerds (hello, brothers and sisters!), you might be interested to know that the body font you’re reading right now is a beautiful sans serif called Brandon Grotesque. It’s having a moment in American graphic life because of its gorgeous clarity and pleasing geometry. The article titles in red are a famous product of the of the (now deceased) partnership between Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones. That font is called Gotham, and it came to life in the aftermath of 9-11 as a tribute to the public typography of New York City. It is, as they say, a knockout, but I’d be interested in what you think.

Need a plate of cookies for a party?

Try the great selection of the Altamont Bakery!

And that applies to everything here. We’re experimenting with calendar styles, the length of articles, number of pages in an issue, color, printing schedule—everything. If you’ve got a good suggestion (or ten), I’d love to hear about it. Let’s make this centennial year count in every way, large and small.

Synagogue membership information?

Please call Rabbi Dan Kaiman at (918) 583-7121. We’d love to help you find a place in the Synagogue family.

WHAT’S UP Speaking of our collective future, I thought you might be interested in the fact that the Young Jewish Professionals of Tulsa held their sixth annual Chanukah bash in December.

The scene was the Inner Circle Vodka Bar (a first for me), and there were a couple of hundred people having a fresh, appealing time of it. It could have been a millenial-friendly event in any major city of the country, but it happened right here. Young Jews, friends, and friends of friends held an easy, fluid event celebrating the pleasures of the holiday in a public venue with plenty of spill-out onto the street.

For quick reference, please check the Synagogue’s website at

I love this kind of thing, and it bodes well for our community.

Organized by Aaron Miller, it pointed in the direction of a large cohort of young Jews at home in Tulsa and relating to each other and the world in healthy, affirming ways. Kudos to everyone involved; onward and upward!

THE SYNAGOGUE SISTERHOOD­—JANET DUNDEE

UPCOMING (CONCLUDED) SISTERHOOD SHABBAT

Saturday, January 16, is Sisterhood Shabbat. Many young women, as well as Sisterhood members, will participate in the Shabbat morning service.

Guest speaker for that morning will be Avital Friedman, who is currently the coordinator for Haruv-USA at University of Oklahoma, Tulsa. The Haruv Institute is Israel’s leading authority on child abuse and neglect, and it operates a satellite program at OU-Tulsa. The program was established by the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Foundation in Israel in 2007.

Ms. Friedman will be speaking about children at risk in Israel. As a social worker in Jerusalem at the Therapeutic Child-Parent Center for At-Risk Children and their Families, Avital has a great deal of experience with child mistreatment. Her perspective on this subject will provide a very stimulating conversation.

Danny Kraft, Carol Mandlebaum, and Sharon Benjamin celebrate Sisterhood’s annual gift to the Religious School.

SYLVAN TRANSPORTATION FUND

Those who are interested in participating in the service should contact Carol Mandlebaum.

We’re eager to continue bringing members to Synagogue events when they cannot drive themselves. Please call us at the Synagogue (918) 583-7121 to reserve a ride.

This service is available to all of our members, thanks to the generosity of Dave and Barbara Sylvan.

SISTERHOOD DONATION Carol Mandlebaum, Sisterhood President, and Sharon Benjamin, Sisterhood Treasurer, recently presented a check to Education Director Danny Kraft to help underwrite the Religious School programs. This annual donation of $7,500 is one of Sisterhood’s most important commitments to the Synagogue. The Sisterhood Gift Shop contributes a large part of its proceeds to fund this donation. Shop the Gift Shop and be a part of the support for our students in our Religious School!

KUM ESSEN V RELEASE PARTY Co-chairs Randee Charney and Sharon Cash ask that you mark your calendar for the Kum Essen V Release Party, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the Synagogue on Sunday, February 28. The entire community is invited to celebrate the publication of Sisterhood’s latest cookbook.

Bibi-Dibi Call in your reservations for Friday Evening, January 8.

Those who want to pre-order copies of the cookbook can find the order form in this publication of the Messenger or contact Jennifer Joels at jjoels@cox.net. Cost for Kum Essen V is $36, or three cookbooks for $100. There are 500 recipes in the cookbook, along with anecdotal stories about the history of the Synagogue and Sisterhood.

Our Shabbat program for the very young. Upper limit is 24, so please call soon!

Anyone interested in helping launch the cookbook should contact Randee Charney or Sharon Cash for further details.

An invitation to the Release Party will be in your mailbox before the end of January.

FEATURED EVENTS AT THE SYNAGOGUE FOLK DANCING ON JANUARY 14

SUSTAINABILITY SEDER ON JANUARY 24

Whatever was old is new again. Jewish folk dancing is ready for its revival and we hope it happens at B’nai Emunah. Our leader is member Avi Gelfand, who led a successful experiment in December. Participants had a great time and we hope that this idea will catch fire. Are you a previous partipant in Rokday Emunah? We think that Jewish folk dancing is made for you.

Over the last several years, celebrating Jewish Arbor Day (Tu Be-Shevat) has grown in visibility and significance. As a key spiritual practice for environmentalists, it focuses attention on sustainability, environmental wholeness, our place in the natural world, and the interconnectedness of all life.

The group will convene in Kaiser Miller auditorium on Thursday evening, January 14, at 7:00 p.m. About the only thing to keep in mind is to wear comfortable shoes.

Thank you, Avi, for setting all of this in motion!

MLK PARADE ON JANUARY 18 Please join us for the 2016 edition of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade on Monday, January 18. It’s our way of aligning ourselves with Rev. King’s message of non-violent transformation and his dream of an equitable society with justice for all. In this troubled time of violence, differential sentencing, and pervasive feelings of discrimination, his message is more important than ever.

Congregation B’nai Emunah will look at these issues at a special interfaith seder dinner on the evening of Sunday, January 24. Seated in an indoor forest, participants will sing a selection of folk and liturgical music from different traditions, along with readings and prayers from many religious communities. The event will help focus attention on a natural order made vulnerable by human behavior. A highlight of the evening will be the screening of a new photographic portfolio of Tulsa landscapes by artist Karen Kantor.

The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. and feature a holiday feast catered by James Shrader, chef and owner of The Palace Café. Please call the Reservations Hotline at (918) 935-3373 for details, or to ask that Gwenn or Valerie secure your place.

The cost for adults is $25 per person.

This year’s Arbor Day seder is a Centennial Project of The Synagogue, celebrating 100 years of religious citizienship in Tulsa.

We will be gathering in the downtown parking lot of Spaghetti Warehouse at 10:30 a.m. on the morning of the parade and walking north to the staging ground shortly afterward. Please give yourself time enough to find a parking place, and wear comfortable shoes. We’ll have extra-large T-shirts for the first 40 people to arrive; that means large enough to fit over a light coat or sweater. And we’ll need plenty of help to hoist our banners.

NEXT SHABBAT FOR EVERYONE ON Friday, JANUARY 15. JOIN US FOR

Please call our Reservations Hotline at (918) 935-3373 to let us know that you plan to be with us. We’d like to have the largest possible group on the morning of the parade.

SINGING, STORYTELLING, & DANCE.

THE SYNAGOGUE ARCHIVE

Taken in the early part of the twentieth century, this image shows Max Rubin, one of the seven founding trustees of Congregation B’nai Emunah. Born in 1882 in Russia, Rubin arrived alone in America as an eleven-year-old immigrant, with $25 in his pocket. Over many decades, he rose from itinerant “oculist” to successful oilman, partnered by his brother-in-law, Jacob Beren. In 1932, Rubin moved his family to Tyler, Texas, where he died in 1947. A fuller story of Max Rubin’s life is told in our first Centennial Publication The Founders, now available in the Synagogue Office.
