MAKE YOUR
OWN TALLIT
Our Sisterhood program on
Sunday, January 6th was a huge
success! We were honored to
learn from the incredible Shirley
Waxman, an accomplished fiber
artist and Judaic folklorist. Shirley
brought some of her gorgeous
handmade tallitot and atarot and
spoke about her journey as an
artist designing and hand sewing
her one–of–a–kind tallitot. We
learned the biblical origin of the
children of Israel wearing fringes,
or “tzitzit”, on the corner of their
garments and discussed the origins
of women wearing tallitot. Shirley’s
presentation was enlightening,
entertaining and uplifting! We all
loved “shopping” from her gorgeous
collection of Tallitot and Atarot
and several women have already
made appointments to meet in her
Maryland home for Shirley to help
design a tallit for themselves or a
loved one!
If you have any questions and to
RSVP. and, if you missed Shirley’s
presentation, please don’t fret, we
are planning to invite her back later
this year or early in 2014! (take a look at Shirley’s amazing
talent for yourself at www.
shirleywaxman.com)
We are planning more exciting
Sisterhood events! Contact Ivy
Levine and/or Robin Schuldenfrei
with your programming suggestions,
we would love to hear from you!

Pasta For
Purim
If you are interested in designing
and creating a tallit for yourself
or as a gift, join us on Wednesday
evening, February 6th at 7:30 PM
at Cory Schneider’s home (1325
Quail Hollow Road) for the first of
three sessions. During this session
we will talk about fabrics, design,
shape and size. In preparation for the session
we are asking women to go on the
internet and look at the various
design, colors and fabric used for
tallitot.
We encourage everyone to
come and learn about the specifics
of making a tallit. You need not
have much sewing experience. Susan, Natalie and Cory will help
you every step of the way.
Please join us and participate
in this exciting and meaningful
project. Contact Cory (657-0656,
cschneider@wlcj.org) or Susan (2360146; gorelev@aol.com) or Natalie
(540-7725, loonsng@yahoo.com) Once again this year, boxes of pasta
will be sold on Purim night to be
used as groggers, noisemakers.
Funds raised from these sales will
be donated to tzedakah. Pasta will
be donated to food banks following
Purim.

BLOOD DONOR PROGRAM EXCEEDS QUOTA BY NEARLY
FORTY PERCENT
By any standard of measurement, Chisuk Emuna
Congregation’s alliance with the Central Pennsylvania
Blood Bank (CPBB) was an overwhelming success in 2012.
The CPBB maintains statistics based on the number of
attempted blood and platelet donations rather than the
number of units actually collected. For platelets, each attempt is treated as
two whole blood donations. For 2012, our quota was forty-two; we logged
fifty-eight.
Of that total, thirty-one, or slightly more than one-half, occurred during
our two Blood Drives of March and September. Thirty-one different donors,
not all Chisuk Emuna members, rolled up their sleeves. Twelve of those
accounted for multiple donations, with two donors reaching five. These
impressive statistics demonstrate the importance of our two blood drives.
However, let us not rest upon this success. The need for blood and platelets
never ends. Jewish thinking reminds us that Hashem, the author of all,
provides a repository for our souls on earth. We do not own our bodies. We
experience but a transitory ability to exercise free will.
In the most literal sense then, those who are physically capable of donating
blood/platelets and choose to do so, not only fulfill the Mitzvah of saving a
life but participate and share in tselem elohim (G-d’s image); we enhance
and reflect Creation’s sanctity. Numbers are important, but we ought not to
permit them to blind us to our purpose.
In that vein, for those who can donate, please place Sunday, February 24.
2013, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, at the Jewish Community Center, Purim
Carnival Day, on your calendar to donate as part of Chisuk Emuna’s next
blood drive. You may also donate at other times and locations. Log on to
www.cpbb.org or call 1.800.771.0059 for information.

bit and had its annual Hanukkah
party. With Latkes, soup, snacks
and candy, the USYers enjoyed
games, hanging out, and lots of
chatting. There were even some
Alumni drop ins that only made
the night that much better! During
Winter break, 2 local USYers attended

Boston, and had a week filled with
amazing friends and times!
On Saturday January 12th, 15
adventure- loving USYers (and their
brave advisor and one brave parent)
went snow tubing at Ski Rountop. It was a night filled with laughter,
falling, wet clothes, but most of
all fun! The next day, 10 USYers
joined Kadimaniks (5th-7th graders),
and congregants from Beth El and
Chisuk Emuna at the Central PA
Food Bank to volunteer. It was such
a great afternoon spent in good
company knowing we were helping
others.
Believe it or not Purim is JUST
around the corner and USY needs
your help. Every year USY organizes,
creates and delivers Mishloach
Manot bags and cards to sell. This

Why Choose
Camp Ramah?
Contributions
The following people have made
Ramah Represents Excellence
Established in 1950, Camp Ramah
in the Poconos has consistently
created a warm, nurturing, and “fun”
environment for our campers for over
sixty years. Situated in Northeast
Pennsylvania on a campsite of
over 90 acres, our campers enjoy
a picturesque waterfront, a newlyrenovated, heated pool, as well as
our state-of-the-art sports facilities:
3 regulation basketball courts, new
tennis courts, a hockey pavilion, a
baseball field with a home-run fence,
an indoor gym with a rock-wall, as
well as a team building high ropes
course.
At Camp Ramah, children thrive on
the sports fields, excel in our visual
and performing arts programs, learn
lessons of leadership, and become a
part of something truly magical.
Ramah Creates Community
Camp
Ramah
in
the
Poconos represents a truly unique
approach to the Jewish Summer
Camp experience. In order to properly
care for our over 400 campers each
summer, we employ over 200 staff
members who are committed to our
mission of inspiring each child to
become their best selves. Our energetic
and talented staff members are largely
products of our camp itself and we
take a multi-generational approach to
camp staffing, so that your child will
see young adults, college graduates,
parents and grown families as part of
their camp community.
At the core of the Ramah program
is our commitment to an immersive
Jewish environment. Your child will
experience Jewish living as an organic,
joyous component to Camp. We foster
spirituality, critical-thinking skills,
character development, and valuesladen living through our approach to
Jewish education.
Above all else, Camp is about
creating a life-long community of
friends. Your child’s social experience
at camp is among our highest
priorities. Our counselors, senior staff,
and adult advisors ensure several
layers of camper care for each and
every child in our community. Your
child will experience the immense
joy of feeling a part of a bunk, an
Edah (Age Group), and our camp as a
whole. They will no doubt make lifelong friends who will be a part of their
lives forever.
The official camping arm of the
Conservative movement, Ramah
strives to create the ultimate Jewish
summer camping experience for
children 3rd-10th grade at Camp

Purim
Purim
celebrates
Jewish
survival. Although Purim has
the flavor of a Jewish mardi gras,
it is essentially a celebration of
surviving in an upside down
world.
Through prayer and
fasting, courage and action, the
characters of the Purim story
continue to teach us lessons in
survival, both individually and
as members of the Jewish People.
Purim is not only a kids’ holiday.
Please join in the celebration.
Please note: The Fast of Esther
(February 21st) commemorates
Esther’s three days of fasting in
preparation for her meeting with
the king.
The four mitzvoth of Purim:
1. Megillah - Each year, we are
required to listen to the complete
reading of Megillat Esther. Please
join us as the Megillah is read on
Saturday, February 23rd at 7
p.m. and during Purim morning
services on Sunday, February
24th at 8:30 am.
2. Mishloach Manot - the
fun Mitzvah of giving at least
two types of food to at least
one recipient. The mitzvah
of mishloach manot is based
on the verse in the Megillah
instructing us to “send portions
one to another” (9:22). You can
send Mishloach Manot through
USY.
3. Matanot L’evyonim - Based
on the injunction in the Megillah
that on Purim we must “send
gifts to the poor” (9:22), the
holiday commands us to share
our good fortune with those in
need. Maimonides teaches: “It
is better for a person to increase
gifts to the poor than to increase
his feast or the mishloach manot
to his neighbors. There is no
joy greater or more rewarding
than to gladden the heart of
the poor, orphans, widows, and
strangers. For by gladdening
the hearts of the downtrodden,
we are following the example
of the Divine.” There will be an
opportunity to give tzedakah to
help the poor at the end of the
Megillah reading.
4. Seudat Purim - It is a mitzvah
to have a feast with family and
friends on Purim Day.
In partnership with Holy Spirit Health System,
Invites you to the Opening Reception of
The International Photo Exhibit "From Art to Heart"
Sunday, February 10, 2013 ~ 2pm
Holy Spirit Hospital Atrium/Auditorium Lobby
Light refreshments will be served.
The photographs on display are mainly of children from vastly
different areas of the world. What links them, and the rest of the 3,000
children helped by Save a Child's Heart (SACH), is that they were given
the gift of life by dedicated Israeli doctors, nurse and support staff who
form the core of the SACH organization. Photographers have captured
the stories of these children and their families to help illustrate the
humanitarian side of Israel and to raise awareness of SACH so may
more children can receive lifesaving heart surgery.
Reception speakers include:
The Deputy Consul General of the Israel Consulate in Philadelphia,
Elad Strohmayer and local medical students who have volunteered
with SACH in Israel Oze Henig, Fourth year medical student, University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Danny Brill, First year medical
student, The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine,
Dr. Jordan Klein, intern, Pinnacle Health System
