Purim 5782
WHAT ARE MISHLOACH MANOT?
Mishloach Manot are gifts of food and treats that friends give to friends and neighbors
during the Jewish holiday of Purim.
WHY IS IT CUSTOMARY TO GIVE MISHLOACH MANOT?
The mitzvah of giving Mishloach Manot is derived from the Book of Esther,
which tells the Jewish people to observe the days of Purim as days of "feasting
and gladness, and sending portions of food to one another, and gifts to the poor''
(Esther 9:22). This verse refers to three different mitzvot: eating a Purim meal, the
sending of two different, ready-to-eat foods and/or drinks to one friend (known
by the Hebrew term, mishloach manot), and the distribution of two charitable
donations (either money or food) to two poor people. We can reinterpret the BACK TO THE FUTURE IN 2022
contributions to the Temple in Israel to contributions to religious organizations
and schools. It is not uncommon for people to send money to Israel and help
families afford education for their children. No Jewish holiday is celebrated

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Join Us! RICHARD W. BRISKIN
The Beth El Community is engaging in a strategic planning process that is being led by Leah
Goldman, a member of our congregation and Bob Leventhal from USCJ. I feel so grateful to them for
taking on this task and for the guidance they have been and will provide.
CANTOR-IN-RESIDENCE WEEKEND
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Leah about the process and want to share a summary of
our conversation here:
Matt: Leah what is the first Beth El experience that you can recall having?
FRIDAY, APRIL 1 | 6 PM Leah: I remember being in kindergarten in Devorah Kolko‘s class. It is amazing that I still see her today and have
Special Kabbalat Shabbat service led by Hazzan Matt Austerklein & Noah Rachels those excellent early memories with her.
Matt: What would you say is the most meaningful event you participated in at Beth El?
SHABBAT DINNER AT 7 PM (reservations required; www.tberochester.org) Leah: I would have to say that that is my wedding. Both my husband and I have a number of relatives who either
grew up at Beth El or are currently members. Having the event at the synagogue was very meaningful for us.
SATURDAY, APRIL 2 | 9:30 AM
Hazzan Matt Austerklein & Noah Rachels will lead parts of the service on Shabbat and will lead Matt: What made you agree to take on the role of chairing the committee coordinating the strategic planning effort?
Havdalah Saturday night Leah: I really feel that it is important to do this particular work. I was honored to be asked and I like being helpful and
giving back some of what I have received from Beth El
SUNDAY APRIL 3 | 2 PM
Concert Featuring Noah Rachels with participation by Hazzan Matt Austerklein Matt: How do you define success with the strategic planing process?
Leah: I would like to see the plan result in a vibrant community that is filled with meaningful connections to
Jewish life and tradition.
Matt: Has anything surprised you so far about the process?
Leah: I have been surprised at how meaningful it has been to me to understand the many shared experiences we all
have in the Beth El Community.
Matt: Why is this process important?
Leah: I think it is really important to be intentional about what we want to do next. We want a plan that has a purpose
to meet the needs of those who care about the Synagogue
Matt: How can people reading this be helpful to the strategic planning process?
RECIPIENT OF BRISKIN AWARD VISITING HAZZAN Leah: Say yes when you were asked to provide input. Reach out and have your voice heard.

BEDIKAT HAMETZ
One of the required holiday ceremonies is Bedikat Hametz, searching for leaven. The night before the first seder,
Thursday, April 14, we conduct a candle-lit search through our home to ensure that no hametz is still present. It is a
INFORMATION brief ceremony in which the entire family can and should participate.
1. Make sure that all hametz has been removed or locked away with the exception of what will be needed for the morning.
2. Carefully hide some crumbs of bread. This is to insure that the blessing and the ceremony will not be performed
in vain.
EREV PESAH SIYUM 3. Take a candle, a feather or brush, and a box or cloth for the crumbs, and recite this blessing:
The sunrise to sunset ta'anit (fast) bekhorim (of the firstborn), which occurs on the day before Passover, is the only Baruch Ata Adonai, Eloheynu Melekh haolam asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v’tsivanu al biur hametz.

IS IT KOSHER FOR PASSOVER? 6. On Friday, April 15 at or before 10:00 am, burn the leaven.
Passover has its own special rules of kashrut. On Pesah, Jews are forbidden from owning or consuming hametz (flour,
food or drink made from the prohibited species of leavened grain: wheat, oats, barley, rye or spelt).
Most Ashkenazic authorities have added the following foods (kitniyot) to the above list: rice, corn, millet, legumes
beans and peas; (however, string beans are permitted). The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards has ruled
unanimously that peanuts and peanut oil are permissible. Sephardic authorities permit the use of all of the above
kitniyot.
PERMITTED FOODS:
A. The following foods require no kosher l’Pesah label when purchased before or during Passover: fresh fruits and For a more complete Passover guide prepared
