From our Rabbi
Dear Friends,
I am excited to invite you to a special adult education program at Congregation Shalom on March 19
th at 10:45. This program,
Songs You Never Learned in Shul (Jewish Music Humor), will be presented by Cantor Jeff Klepper. Cantor Klepper writes, "Given our rich musical heritage, it's no surprise we have a special knack for poking fun at ourselves...through song. If comedy is serious business, the hilarious satires of comic legends like Fanny Brice, Allan Sherman, Mel Brooks, Kinky Friedman (not to mention Sarah Silverman and Sacha Baron Cohen), tell us much about Jewish cultural identity in America." Jeff has been collecting this
material for years and presenting it across the country. This program, coming on the heels of Purim, is sure to be funny, challenging and provocative.
For those of you who are not familiar with Cantor Jeff Klepper, he is widely respected for his musical role in contemporary American Judaism. He was raised in New York City and began to play the guitar at age eight. In 1969, while studying to be a song-leader in NFTY, he befriended Debbie Friedman (z"l) and several years later, as a college student, he met Dan Freelander, who would become his singing partner in the duo Kol B'Seder for more than four decades. Inspired by Debbie's music, Jeff and Dan began to create original Jewish songs, and among their first efforts was "Shalom Rav" in 1973. Together they created a new kind of participatory Hebrew-folk-pop music that became, for many, the soundtrack to their Jewish lives. You probably grew up singing their melodies for "Modeh Ani," "Lo Alecha," and "Shalom Rav."Kol B'Seder's music has become a cherished part of camps, schools, and services in Jewish communities far and wide. Debbie Friedman and Jeff Klepper joined forces in 1992 to create the annual Hava Nashira Workshop for song-leaders. After graduating HUC-JIR, Jeff served congregations in New York, Haifa, and Evanston, IL before coming to Boston with his wife, Deeana, and daughters, Rachel and Liora. He has been the cantor of Temple Sinai in Sharon, MA since 2003, and serves on the faculty of the School of Jewish Music at Hebrew College in Newton, MA.
I hope you will join us for this musical exploration of Jewish humor. Feel free to bring friends.
L'shalom,
Rabbi Shoshana M. Perry

From our President
Each card I have received made me feel like my sorrow was shared. And, I have a lot of sorrow with my Dad's loss, but sorrow shared is sorrow halved. Every card has helped me. Thank you.
And, for those who visited and those who brought food. The loss of my Dad has made me feel like an orphan, but your care made me feel like I was surrounded by family. Thank you all so much.

Esther and 30 days
This year, I will have the joy of joining many of you at an adult Purim celebration, when we will chant the Megillah, the scroll of Ester, on Saturday, March 11h at 7 p.m. My part is chapter 4 of Megillat Esther, as it has been for a couple of years and it is strange how each year, something new jumps out at me from my reading.
This year what grabbed me was where Esther explains to Mordecai that if she goes to the king unsummoned, unless he extends his scepter, she will be killed. Tempted by the possibility of just waiting, she recognizes the urgency and remarked to Mordecai: "And, I have not been summoned to come to the king for thirty days now." Thirty days earlier there was no urgency. Now there was, and it struck me how much things can change in a short time span.
I began preparing for my part in the Purim celebration just two weeks after my amazing 92-year-old Dad, living on his own, was taken to the hospital with difficulty breathing. I was naturally disquieted by his hospitalization, but mostly my nature was to remain optimistic. Still, this chapter's treatment of time stuck with me ... so much can change so quickly. Where would he and I be in four weeks? Would this be the period that I look back on later on and ask myself - did I do right by my Dad? If so, would our last exchanges be ones filled with love and with the important words we needed to share? Regrettably, the month turned out to be that period. I'm satisfied, though, that I was fortunate enough to have been jostled from my wishful thinking to take heed. I did get the chance to tell him how important he was to me: our last exchanges were filled with love and hugs.
I hope that as you live your lives, that you take hold of every chance you get to make the exchanges with the ones you love positive - and do not let a month go by without seeing or skyping those folks. We are fortunate, indeed, to have those we love in our lives - and we should never take that for granted.
And, I hope you will join me to hear the WHOLE Megillah. There are lessons to be learned if you come listen. And, while some of you may choose to wear a costume (I will), it is not required - just come as you like and celebrate living.
Chag Purim!

From our Education Director
"Mishenichnas Adar Marbim B'Simcha" can best be translated as whomever enters Adar increases their joy! While there is no exact halachah (Jewish law) that mandates that we behave in a different way during the month of Adar, for Jews around the world, Adar is the month notorious for joy and celebration; the month in which Purim occurs. When you think of Purim you may think of costumes and music and definitely you will be thinking about delicious Hamantaschen. I think it is safe to say that Purim is a highlight for people of all ages.
Sunday, March 12 the doors of the Sanctuary will open at 9:45 a.m. and we will have a wonderful and joyous celebration, filled with laughter, singing and of course telling the Purim story. Purim has all the elements of a Hollywood movie: A villain, a heroine turned Queen, a horse and saving the Jewish people and at the end, a big celebration. What else can we want in a story?
Whilst we do not offer a banquet fit for the Queen who saved the Jewish people, we do offer an amazing post Purim story party. However, like any other celebration, the planning and roll out of the "party" takes time and planning. It is this "back stage" planning that we don't see as we enjoy the Purim carnival at Congregation Shalom. Our amazing Shalomites begin weeks in advance to organize this event and are up the night before planning, preparing and creating the Purim carnival. They organize the perfect end to our morning program. The Shalomites (our youth group) are an amazing and talented group of teenagers who are deeply dedicated to Congregation Shalom and to building and supporting the Jewish youth in our community and beyond. They will work tirelessly to create this remarkable morning to ensure that the younger children have the same incredible Purim carnival experience that they had. This is a true reflection of "'l'dor vador" with the tradition being passed on from our teens to our younger students so that they can enjoy this day and hopefully become Shalomites and create this experience for the next generation of young kids as they grow up. What else can we ask from our youth? I hope that everyone will come and join the Purim celebration - the whole morning promises to be lots of fun and you will have the chance to both learn and enjoy Purim and to support the hard work of our Shalomites at the same time. This is both a labor of love and a fundraiser for our amazing Shalomites and we hope that everyone will support their great work.
Chag Purim Sameach to everyone!

From our Cantorial Soloist
In 2008 I was a student at Hebrew College. Many of my classes within the Certificate Program for Jewish Liturgical Music centered around the history of Jewish music, Bible Text and context, Cantillation of Torah, Shabbat Liturgy, and Nusach (the melodies and modes associated with different holiday services and services at different times throughout a given day). This information provided me with an extraordinary foundation. One of my most beloved courses, in which I truly found my spiritual voice, was a song leading class taught by Cantor Jeff Klepper. Cantor Klepper taught me how to sing from my soul, understanding my role as a musical vessel in Shul. He showed me how to sing with, NOT AT, a congregation, always emphasizing inclusivity. How life comes full circle. Now Cantor Klepper is coming to our Congregation Shalom family on
Sunday
,
March 19
th at 10:45 a.m.
to lead a special adult education program entitled
Songs You Never Learned in Shul (Jewish Music Humor).
I encourage you to soak up the words of this extraordinary teacher. You will laugh, learn, and surely want to sing.
And if you would like to keep singing that same day, we have just the venue for you!
Adam and I are collaborating with musician, Lisa Yves and author,Dr. Ruth Nemzoff at 4:-00 p.m. at the Vilna Shul in Boston for a program highlighting music, community, tradition and strength!!!
During this event, music and stories will be meshed so that we may examine how melody changes and unites communities.
March 19th
from start to finish promises to be a day rich with music, narrative, and joy!
Please
click here
to register.
From the Vilna Website:
"Cantorial Soloist Jodi Blankstein, singer/pianist Lisa Yves, guitarist Adam Dehner, and author Dr. Ruth Nemzoff intertwine music and stories to explore how music unites and transforms communities. Music excites. Music brings beauty. Music also socializes. With music, we share our aspirations. We build community. We explore our own emotions. We invite you to join us to explore these questions and more in this thought provoking musical event."
A few musical samples. Happy listening. ️

Fundraising
After the Online Auction, Final Sale, and Fill a Bag in conjunction with the Epilepsy Foundation, we are taking a relaxing break until the late Spring 50/50 Raffle.
In the meantime, remember to bring your newspapers, old mail, junk mail and magazines and drop them in the yellow and green container in the parking lot. Right next to it is the gray container for old books, backpacks, book bags, clothing that can be recycled, shoes, belts, handbags and just about anything else.
Also, whenever you go to the Amazon website, if you are registered, up to 15% of whatever you have spent goes back to the synagogue. This is NOT Amazon Smile - we belong to a different program. If you haven't joined yet, just go to our website(
www.congregationshalom.org)
and look for the Amazon logo on the right side of the page - click on it, bookmark it and every time you go to the Amazon site, Congregation Shalom makes money. Sweet and simple and a great moneymaker for us.

From the Visiting Nurse Association of Boston & Affiliates...
VNA Hospice Care needs volunteers! Hospice volunteers play a key role in helping to provide caring and compassion to patients and families facing life-limiting illness and loss. A volunteer may provide patients with company and emotional support, give the spouse, partner or other caregiver a needed break from care giving, and/or help caregivers run errands or get to and from appointments. A strong need exists for volunteers who can visit on weekdays. We also seek: musicians who would like to sing or play music quietly at the bedside of nursing home residents; Reiki practitioners who would like to offer Reiki to patients and/or caregivers; and people interested in visiting with their therapy dog. Volunteers who speak both English and a second language are also helpful. We provide volunteer training and ongoing support. Call 781-569-2888 and ask to speak to a Volunteer Coordinator for more information. Or email [email protected].
