Question:
What is a "Shabbos Goy"?
Answer:
A gentile hired by a Jew to perform services which are forbidden to Jews by Halacha. According to strict Jewish law, a Jew is not allowed to employ a non-Jew to do work on Shabbat which is forbidden. However, under some extraordinary circumstances the Rabbis allowed this practice.
This is a Weekly Column in which Rabbi Feldman will answer any question you might have relating to Judaism. Please email your questions to office@bethelwpb.com

"Between Cross and Crescent"
Lecture 22
Shabbetai Tzvi: The Mystical Messiah
Some 100 years after the death of Isaac Luria, the Jewish community experienced an explosion of fervor focused on the frenzied behavior of a self proclaimed messiah named Shabbetai Tzvi (1626-1676). Historians refer to this period and its aftermath as the major crisis of 17th century Judaism.
Born in Smyrna, Shabbetai Tzvi wandered through the Ottoman Empire where he encountered his prophet and spokesman Nathan of Gaza (1643-1680). When arrested by the Moslem authorities, he was given the choice of conversion to Islam or death. He chose conversion. Thousands of Jews followed him into Islam as a way, they believed, to preserve Judaism!
What was the wide appeal of this nihilistic philosophy that spread to every Jewish community and lasted over 100 years?
All are welcome to join the discussion and video on Tuesday, February 21, 10:30am sharp in Senter Hall.

Fishman Youth Fund to offer $1000 Scholarships to Camp Ramah
The
Fishman Youth Fund was begun in honor/memory of Rabbi Hy and Ida Fishman. The purpose of the fund is to enhance activities for the youth of Temple Beth El. The fund has been set up to provide two $1,000 scholarships to Temple Beth El youth interested in attending a summer session at Camp Ramah Darom and
have
them return from the experience motivated to take on leadership roles within the synagogue community. In order to be considered, applicants will need to submit a one page essay conveying the reasons for their interest in attending Camp Ramah and describing how they plan to bring what they learn from camp back to our community. They will be expected to become more involved in the Temple, and assist with youth programming.
Essays can be e-mailed to Moshe Adler at MosheAdler@aol.com, or delivered to the office of Temple Beth El, to the attention of the Fishman Youth Fund Committee. Please include the child's full name, parents' names and an e-mail address and/or phone number where you can be contacted.
The deadline for the essay is Thursday, February 23, 2017. Please note that applicants must be children of current members of Temple Beth El.
We are
delighted
to be offering these scholarships and look forward to your applications.
Please
be aware that other funding may also be available through the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.
The Fund continues to be able to award these scholarships through the generous donations that we receive. Those who are interested in helping the youth of our Temple by donating to the Fishman Youth Fund can send donations to the Temple office. Please make checks payable to "Fishman Youth Fund".

Mazel Tov to our Febrary Congregant of the Month!
|
Ivy Faske
Ivy Faske is proud of her Temple Beth El membership, and her family's early Florida and
Southern heritage.
Her mother's family immigrated to Tampa in the late 1800'
s, and her maternal grandparents moved to Miami in 1910 (before there was a minyan) and were founding members of Beth David in Miami. Her uncle was the second Bar Mitzvah in Dade County-beaten out only by his cousin who was just a bit older. To better understand how tiny the Jewish population was at the time, Dade County consisted of the area that we now know as Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Her cousins were also early Jewish settlers in Savannah, Key West, Jacksonville, and West Palm Beach. In fact, her cousins attended services in the historic building, now known as the Yeckes Chapel, that was recently moved
to our campus,.
Ivy and her husband, Jack Mayer, live in Palm Beach Gardens with their beloved dogs Willow and Gryffindog and their cat Eartha Kitten. She is happy to serve on the Board, and is currently also co-president of Sisterhood. She especially looks forward to using her assigned congregant-of-the-month parking spot many times in February for all the wonderful activities going on at Beth El.
MAZEL TOV IVY!
