Dear Friends:
Why, in the past few years, have we read a double portion Yayakhel/Pekudei but this year we separate them and read Pekudei on its own? It is because of our very complicated Jewish calendar. I heard a podcast recently with Rabbi Micah Streiffer who explained this very clearly and I wanted to share it with you.
The secular calendar is a Solar Calendar and is based on the earth’s rotation around the sun which takes 365¼ days. That is why we have a leap year and add an extra day in February every four years. The Jewish calendar is a Lunar calendar based on the cycles of the moon. Every new month is a new moon when you cannot actually see the moon, but all the Jewish festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot) occur during a full moon because they are harvest festivals.
The Lunar cycle is 354 days long so in theory every 354 days we would have a new Jewish year. But because the Jewish holidays are agricultural festivals, they must take place at certain times of the year. Pesach must be in the Spring; Shavuot must be in early summer and Sukkot must be in the Fall. But on a strictly 354 day-cycle, those holidays would migrate to different times of the year. Thus, it was necessary to line up the lunar months with the solar seasons so that the Jewish holidays fall during the full moon and also fall in the correct season. In order to accomplish this, the Jewish calendar consists of an elaborate nineteen-year cycle where seven times out of every nineteen years we add not a leap day but a full leap month. That practice keeps the holidays in line with the seasons in which they are meant to occur. It also means that some Jewish years have twelve months and some Jewish years have thirteen months. Therefore, there are years we condense two portions into one which is why we would read Vayakhel and Pekudei together. This year is a leap year when we read Pekudei by itself and starting Thursday, March 3rd and continuing on Friday, March 4th we have two days of Rosh Hodesh Adar II which counts as the thirteenth month.
Pekudei is the very last parashah in the Book of Exodus (Shemot) and describes the culmination of the building of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and the making of the priestly garments. At the end of the parashah, we are told that the place became holy. “When Moses had finished the work, the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting and the Presence of the Lord (ch’vod Hashem) filled the Tabernacle.” (Ex 40:34)
Does this mean that the Tabernacle is holy because God is present in the cloud? Is He the source of the holiness? Or could it be that God’s presence is in the space because the place is holy? That means the holiness comes from the people who worship God and keep His commandments. If it is the actions of the people that make the place holy, it means God can be found everywhere. We, the people, have to act in holy ways by filling our lives with acts of tzedakah, spiritual awareness, mitzvot and hesed (lovingkindness). It is comforting to know that holiness and God’s presence can be found not only in a particular place but wherever we perform holy actions. To again quote what we say when we end a Book of the Torah- “Hazak Hazak V’nithazek” - Be strong, be strong and let us be strengthened. Especially during these challenging times, may we all find strength in each other and in our own acts of holiness.
As mentioned above, today is Rosh Hodesh Adar II. In today’s Covid world, we often end our messages with “Stay Healthy, Stay Safe”. Today, for Adar II, and our upcoming Purim celebration, we add “Be Happy”!
Hodesh Tov and Shabbat Shalom,

From our Torah Fund Vice President | |

Torah Fund – B’Yachad – Together
In preparing for a recent program planning meeting for our upcoming Spring Conference (Save the date: June 12th!), I was doing some research about the history of Torah Fund. Torah Fund is 80 years strong in 2022. Think about how far we have come in 80 years. Donations to Torah Fund help the students of our five Conservative/Masorti seminaries. But 80 years ago, there was only one seminary – The Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Today we have seminaries in New York, Los Angeles, Jerusalem, Buenos Aries, and Potsdam. Think about that: We have a seminary in Germany! Seventy years after the end of the dark days of the Holocaust, Jewish students are studying in Germany and our dollars support those students. To all who donate, thank you. What a difference those Torah Fund donors have made for 80 years and for years to come.
None of us can foresee the future. From our history, we know that our donations have made a difference for the education of rabbis, cantors, educators and scholars. To ensure that support continues, will you consider joining the Torah Fund Legacy Society? Learn more here:
Torah Fund Legacy Society - Jewish Theological Seminary (jtsa.edu)
There are multiple ways to give: Paper cards and E-Cards are available on the Torah Fund website. Online donations and payment by checks/cheques are always appreciated. Some like to use paper. Some like to use electrons. Whichever you prefer, we always say thank you!

Regarding:
Our Two Special Relationship Masorti Congregations in Israel
We recently heard from our Twinned Kehillot (Congregations) in Israel and would like to share some of their news with everyone.
Kehilat Hakerem in Karmiel
Marion Jester reported: We are beginning our spring semester with three courses, one in English and two in Hebrew. Our female student Rabbi has thus far only been able to join us for a Zoom Havdalah, but we are hopeful that she will be able to join us very soon for Shabbat services in person. We continue to hold our daily minyan with the Masorti congregation in Beersheva, and our weekly Talmud class with a Conservative congregation in Pittsburgh.
Kehilat Netzach Israel in Ashkelon
Lorna Szefler reported: We are in the midst of renovating two rooms after the preschool classes moved into their new facilities. Friday February 25, we held a musical Kabbalat Shabbat followed by an Oneg Shabbat where we honored five of our own young people who will soon be entering the army - one of them being our Rabbi Gustavo Surazski’s daughter. We recently elected a new Board - the new Chair person is Marcelo Bordman and Terri Davis is the vice chairperson and in charge of Tikkun Olam.

An Update And Prayer For Peace In Ukraine | |
|
Masorti Olami and The Schechter Institutes are in close contact with our communities across Ukraine, and while there is extreme uncertainty and panic right now, we are sharing with you, our friends and supporters around the world, what we know about the current situation on the ground.
The present situation in Ukraine is extremely challenging with mass panic and residents fleeing towards the west of the country, away from lines of contact, causing blocked roads and traffic jams. Cash machines across the country have run out of cash, and gas stations are out of gas.
Kharkiv, a city in northeastern Ukraine, is only 100km from the border with Russia, and has been hit the hardest so far, experiencing explosions in the early hours of this morning. Entrances and exits to the city, as well as schools have already been closed, and the Russian army is getting closer. We are trying to get all of our communities in Ukraine to our western-most community in Chernivtsi, as it is the safest option right now, where Rabbi Reuven and Lena Stamov, our shlichim in Ukraine are currently with their family. This means organizing immediate transport, and reserving accommodation for refugees fleeing from other cities. In the meantime, we are also arranging for 150 packages with cookies, chocolate and juice, to be brought to the children, to try and lift their spirits in this challenging time.

Last week I had the honor of attending the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations’ (COP) 47th leadership mission in Israel. Rabbi Ellen Wolintz-Fields, WLCJ Executive Director and I were part of a delegation that represented 53 organizations with a single purpose of engaging with Israel. During the five days we met President Herzog, the Prime Minister, foreign ministers, members of the Cabinet, Ambassadors from other countries, the new US ambassador to Israel and other members of this government’s diverse coalition.
On the fourth day we visited the Gaza border and the new IDF’s Homefront Command headquarters. While waiting in line to use the ladies’ room the young woman soldier behind me noticed my tag. Sophia proudly told me that she was also Conservative and had about a year left on her tour of duty. We talked further and she told me she was from New Rochelle, New York and her family belonged to Beth EL Synagogue. Of course I asked if her mother belonged to the Sisterhood and she told me her mother had belonged for a long time. I quickly used my phone to look up her mom in the database and Jayne’s name was there as a longtime member of Sisterhood and Women’s League. At the end of the visit, Rabbi Ellen and I took a picture with Sophia to send to her mom so Jayne could see Sophia was well and safe. I also wanted to tell Jayne how impressive this young lone soldier was and that it was my privilege to meet her.
| |
 | |
When I returned to the database, Jayne’s email was not in her page and neither was her cellphone number. I could not email or text the picture so I wrote to a friend who belongs to that synagogue sisterhood. My friend, Judi wrote to the sisterhood president who wrote back to me with Jayne’s email. Finally, I could send the beautiful picture of Sophia to Jayne. Jayne wrote to me to thank me and I subscribed Jayne to all the Women’s League emails with her email address so she could receive this message and all the rest that come out.
If you receive this message you are subscribed but if you know someone who does not receive our messages, please reply with that woman’s name and email and we will subscribe her. Our information connects our members with valuable programming on the International level and the Conservative Jewish world. The world may be large but our Women’s League for Conservative Judaism world is small enough that Jewish mothers can share our children’s pictures from thousands of miles away.
Thank you to Sophia and Jayne Peister for giving me permission to share the story and the picture.
Shabbat shalom,
Debbi

Women’s League Archives: Join Us in Our Quest!
Exciting things are happening with our Women’s League archives. The Board of Women’s League voted to permanently loan our archives to the Jewish Theological Seminary. This is fabulous since it will insure our historical items will be stored and catalogued properly and will be more accessible to our members as well as the public.
During the next few months, we will be transferring all of our archival material (and there is a lot) to JTS. And you can help! We want to make sure we have everything needed from Women’s League international, our branches and regions to tell our story. Do you have hidden away somewhere meeting minutes, branch/region directories, brochures, newsletters, event information, memorabilia, creative handcrafts? Photographs?
We are asking you to search through your files, albums and boxes of materials and gather them together. Please label the pictures with a date, what event, who the people are, and where are they. Please label other items with their story (if not told in the item). Then send it on to Rabbi Ellen Wolintz-Fields at 627 Bowne Road, Ocean Township, NJ 07712. For questions, contact Cory Schneider.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Also, watch for information on three new How to Live Forever zoom presentations: Collecting and Organizing Your Sisterhood Archives, Collecting and Organizing Your Region Archives, and Writing Your Organization’s Story.

Parashat Pekudei Exodus 38:21-40:38
Haftarah: Ashkenazim: 1 Kings 7:51-8:21
Sephardim: 1 Kings 7:40-50 - March 5, 2022
In this last parashah of the book of Shemot (Exodus) we find a full inventory of the materials Bezalel used to make the mishkan (tabernacle), its furnishings, and the priestly garments for Aaron and his sons. After doing everything that God had commanded, he brought the finished component(s) to Moses, whom God instructed to erect the tabernacle and anoint Aaron and his sons for the priesthood. After he did so, a cloud rested on the tent by day and fire at night, only moving from that spot when the people had to move to a new location.
The events described in the haftarah occurred in approximately 952 BCE, when Solomon finished the work on the Temple, and held a dedication celebration on the holiday of Sukkot, beginning by bringing in all the treasure King David had collected for its functioning. While he himself led the community in offering innumerable animal sacrifices, the elders of the nation, at his command, brought up the ark, containing only the two tablets Moses had received at Sinai, and placed it in the Holy of Holies.
Next the tabernacle and all its vessels were transferred to their new, permanent home. Thus, Jerusalem became the religious center of the nation of Israel. The connection between the parashah and the haftarah is obvious. The centerpiece of both structures is the ark and its precious contents (Exodus 40:20, 1 Kings 8:9). God’s presence is manifested in both structures by the presence of a cloud (Exodus 40:34-35, 1 Kings 8:10-11). The dedication of the mishkan culminates with Moses blessing the assembled nation (Exodus 39:43); similarly, Solomon also blessed the people at the dedication of the Temple (1 Kings 8:14). The absorption of the ark and, indeed, the entire tabernacle into the structure of the Temple signaled a continuity of worship to the people of Israel: what had served a nomadic people traveling in the desert became the foundation of the permanent structure serving a people settled in the land.
Unfortunately, we know today that Solomon’s Temple, as well as the Second Temple did not withstand the test of time. The sacred ark has been lost to history. Today each of us is called to make a place for the presence of the Shekhinah (feminine divine presence of God) within our soul.
