FROM THE DESK OF: Rabbi Lenny
The beginning of June marks one of the three great pilgrimage festivals – Shavuot. This festival is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. The Chumash defines it:
From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks. Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord… On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly and do no regular work. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. Leviticus 23:15-21
These are many difficulties with this passage. Shavuot, “the feast of weeks”, is given no calendrical date: unlike all the other Jewish festivals. Pesach, for example is “on the fifteenth day” of the “first month”. Shavuot has no such date. It is calculated on the basis of counting “seven full weeks” from a particular starting time, not by noting a date in the year. Secondly, as long as the New Moon was determined on the basis of eyewitness testimony (until the fourth century of the Common Era), Shavuot could have no fixed date.
Another issue is the point at which the counting of days and weeks begins is ambiguous. “From the day after the Sabbath”. But which Sabbath? And what is the reference to a Sabbath doing here at all? The previous passage talked about Pesach, not the Sabbath. This led to one of the great controversies in Second Temple Judaism. The Pharisees, who believed in the Oral Law as well as the Written one, understood “the Sabbath” to mean the first day of Pesach. The Sadducees, who believed in the Written Law only, took the text literally. The day after the Sabbath is Sunday. Thus the count always begins on a Sunday, and Shavuot, fifty days later, also always falls on a Sunday.
Still another mystery is the deepest: what is Shavuot about? What does it commemorate? About Pesach and Succot, we have no doubt. Pesach is a commemoration of the exodus. Succot is a reminder of the forty years in the wilderness.
In the case of Shavuot, all the Torah says is that it is the “Feast of the Harvest”, and the “Day of First-fruits”. These are agricultural descriptions, not historical ones. Pesach and Succot have both: an agricultural aspect (spring/autumn) and a historical one (exodus/wilderness). This is not a marginal phenomenon, but of the essence. Other religions of the ancient world celebrated seasons. They recognized cyclical time. Only Israel observed historical time – time as a journey, a story, an evolving narrative. The historical dimension of the Jewish festivals was unique. All the more, then, is it strange that Shavuot is not biblically linked to a historical event.
Jewish tradition identified Shavuot as “the time of the giving of the Torah”, the anniversary of the Divine revelation at Sinai when the Israelites heard the voice of God and made a covenant with God. But that connection is not made in the Torah itself.
Shavuot is always on a Sunday: Moses was a great lover of Israel. Perhaps Moses, knowing that Shavuot lasted only one day, fixed it on the day after the Sabbath so that Israel might enjoy themselves for two successive days. Shavuot gave the Israelites a long weekend, at the end of one of the harvest seasons!
Pesach represents the beginning of the Israelites’ journey to freedom. Succot recalls the forty years of wandering in the desert. But where in the Jewish year do we recall and celebrate the end of the journey: the entry into the promised land? When, in fact, did it take place? The Book of Joshua (5: 10-12) states:
On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover. The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain. The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate of the produce of Canaan.
It is this text that Maimonides takes as proof that “the day after the Sabbath” in fact means, as the text states here, “the day after the Passover”. Seen through Sadducean eyes, however, this text might have held a quite different significance. The Omer recalls the day the Israelites first ate the produce of the promised land. It was the end of the wilderness years – the day they stopped eating manna and started eating bread from the land to which they had been traveling for forty years.
The reason Shavuot is given only agricultural, not historical, content in the Torah is that in this case agriculture was history. It was Israel’s first Yom ha-Atzma’ut, Independence Day. It was the festival of entry into the promised land.
After the destruction of the Second Temple, and the Jewish people were exiled, a problem arises. How do you celebrate a festival of the land when you have lost the land?
The Jewish people that survived in exile still had the Torah. They still believed the promise it contained that one day Jews would return, and recover their sovereignty, and rebuild what they had lost.
The argument about Shavuot turned out to be fateful for Jewish history. Those who celebrated it as “the time of the giving of the Torah” ensured Jewish survival through nearly twenty centuries of exile and dispersion. And we, who live in the era of the return, can rejoice in a double celebration: of the Torah and the land.
Amen, Rabbi Lenny

PRESIDENT: Irene C. Rothschild
Where do I start? With whom do I start? Given that this will be my final article as president of the board of directors, I am feeling bittersweet. On the one hand, I am grateful for the leadership of the other officers. And on the other hand, it is going to be a challenge to walk away from the duties and responsibilities of the presidency. Virginia Lieberman has been the absolute best secretary and has been a terrific support for me over the years. Julie Goldstein as our treasurer has also been a valuable support during her tenure. Josh Estner has done an excellent job in managing the Congregation’s Restricted Funds and has been quite easy to work with. Jamie Kaufer will remain as VP during the interim term of Joel Last who will assume the role of president for one term from July 2025 through June 2027. She has also been a tremendous support during her tenure and she will be a dynamic president when she takes over in July 2027.
I cannot thank EVERYONE who has served on the board during my presidency but you know who you are and I am grateful for your years of service to the Congregation. All of you have done your part in conducting the business of the Congregation and assuring that the Congregation remains viable for as long as possible. When I first became president, it was difficult to get folks to commit to coming on the board. Now we have folks who have agreed to stay on as directors even though their initial terms were up. And it is especially rewarding to know that when asked to become a director, most folks agree to serve.
One of the great pleasures of serving as president was when I would ask someone to take on a committee or a task and invariably that person would agree. Always helped to make this job rewarding!
I am especially grateful for the support and friendship of Terri Katzman who has been by my side for many years as Sisterhood president, Chair of Caring, Chair of Social Action and Chair of the Taste of Westmoreland. I always thought of us as ‘the dynamic duo’ because we work so well together.
I cannot thank Richard Virshup and Gary Moidel enough for all that they have done over the years, maintaining the building and grounds and for utilizing the Men’s Club to help ‘get things done’! Mitzvah Days are so extremely helpful and money saving! Gary also deserves many, many thanks for being our treasurer for about ten years!
Chris DeMarco deserves a special shoutout for taking over the Security Committee and doing an excellent job in keeping the Congregants, staff and building safe. He takes his job seriously and that is reassuring to know.
About ten years ago, at the suggestion of the JCLP, we established a Long-Range Planning Committee chaired by Bob Slone. He and that committee did an excellent job of developing a particularly good Long-Range Plan for the Congregation and I am grateful for his and their efforts.
Shirley Shpargel is in a league of her own as far as the care and concern she puts into maintaining the library. She is so dedicated to ensuring that there are current books of interest for adults and children and that makes CEI’s library something that we can all be proud of.
I need to give a special ‘thank you’ to Mitch Goldstein and Joel Last for being excellent cantorial soloists for our High Holy Day services. Their talents add an extra dimension of pleasure to the services.
All of these folks have my undying gratitude for doing such excellent work and for being good friends in the process.
It has been a pleasure to collaborate with Rabbi Lenny and I am grateful for his leadership, his empathy and his computer skills! You have NO idea how grateful I am for those skills! It is also a pleasure to have his wife Karen as a friend. She has been a tremendous asset to the Congregation.
I also need to recognize the contributions of Robert Halden who chaired our Archive Committee, Robin Mickey who chairs the Garden Committee, Anna Spor who chairs Membership and the Young Adult Group and for Shoshana Halden for steering the Ritual Practices Committee and for being Education Chair for many years and of Yvonne Bureau for doing an excellent job in managing the kitchen and keeping it spotless.
Last, but certainly not least, I need to thank Bea Harrison, our Administrative Assistant, for all of her help and support over the years! There is no way that I could have conducted all of my duties and responsibilities without her help! And I like to think that I gained another friend in the process. There were times when we felt like crying, when we were frustrated, when we put our heads together to solve a problem or resolve an issue and when we laughed! I could not have asked for a better person to see me through our many travails! Thank you, Bea!
One of the reasons that I have felt compelled to serve our Congregation for so many years is to honor the memory of my mother, Liesel and my father, Rolf who were able to leave Germany in 1935 and go to Haifa where they met. They came to the USA in 1938 and I am so incredibly grateful to be able to be born here and to raise my children here. And now my four grandchildren and great-grandson also are beneficiaries’ of being born and raised in the U.S. I would like to think that they would be proud of all the good work we have done in keeping the Congregation viable and thriving.

SISTERHOOD NOTES by Shoshana Halden, President
Shalom,
As I write this article, we are still a week away from the election evening. I was told that I would be the next Sisterhood President with Robin Mickey, Teri Moidel, and Marion Slone to represent our members on the Board. Thank you for the faith that you have shown me.
We do have some new ideas and plans for the next two years that, hopefully, will inspire the interest and involvement of all the Sisterhood members. After the Board meeting later this month, we will get together again to present you with our plans. Any ideas or comments for Sisterhood events or programs you have will be appreciated and considered.
I thank Terri Katzman for helping me prepare for success in the next two years. Greetings to all for a nice summer.
With thanks, Shoshana

ALFRED RATNER LIBRARY NEWS by Shirley Shpargel, Librarian
When We Flew Away by Alice Hoffman is a novel of Anne Frank before the Diary and is written for middle school readers grades 4-7. When the Nazis took control in Germany, Anne Frank’s family immigrated to Amsterdam when Anne was four. The family believed they would be safe in the neutral Netherlands. Despite neutrality, Nazis invaded the Netherlands. The novel takes place in 1940, when Anne is 10 years old, and the family’s world begins to change as Jews lose their basic rights. The author, Hoffman, details the everyday life of Anne and her older sister, Margot, as they lose their freedom of where they can go to school, where they can play, and finally are forced to wear a yellow star. Anne’s parents feel the guilt that they should have immigrated to England or the United States when the borders were still open, but now trying to get out of the Netherlands seems impossible.
Anne maintains her spirit and optimism despite the horror events taking place in Amsterdam. She shows a special attachment to her paternal grandmother and her father who enjoy books and reading. When Anne turned 13, her father gave her a diary which she had wished for, and the diary would be one item Anne packed when on July 6th they went into hiding in her father’s brick office building at 263 Prinsengracht. Anne is creative and fearless with wisdom to become a writer who will go on to change the world. Alice Hoffman did research at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam to weave the story of the way the world closed in on the Frank family from the time the Nazis invade the Netherlands until they are forced into hiding. This novel should be read by all middle school readers and their parents to remember the fate of not only Anne, but all Jews who were lost during the Holocaust. When We Flew Away-A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary is available for checking out at the Alfred Ratner Library.
