The Shofar
From Rabbi TZiPi Radonsky
On the first Friday evening in April this year, people will gather with family and
friends, all over the world, as the moon comes to her fullness, to welcome Passover by singing the special blessings and lighting the holiday candles. Another
Passover will begin; eight days of paying attention to what we have, what we eat,
and of remembering those who came before us by telling the story of Passover
and of those who still are in slavery.
Passover is the celebration of the Israelites leaving Egypt on the journey to the
Promised Land. The word for Egypt in Hebrew is mitzrayim which translates as ‘narrow place.’ So whenever I feel in a stuck or narrow place, where my breathing is shallow and perspective is small, I think of being in Egypt and being a slave to my mind and the moment. If I am awake enough, I try to remember I
chose not to stay in suffering and to take a deep breath, often freeing the mind and me from whatever slavery I am in, physical or psychological. Judaism is a faith of paradoxes, so as we are celebrating our freedom, awakening to an opportunity for a renewed relationship with our G-d, we also do not forget those who
died while our ancestors were being released, the first born of the Egyptians and the army and horses that
drowned in the sea as it closed behind the fleeing Hebrews. It is said that the blue on the fringe of
the tzitzit on the four corners of the talit is to remember the tears shed by G-d as the Egyptians died. We
are all G-d’s people.
I love Passover. It is a time of change, of Spring in the Northern hemisphere, of special foods and of family,
and a moment in the calendar when we remember the shift from slavery to freedom brought about through
Divine intervention, a history of our ancestors and how our life reflects that reality. Growing up in Winthrop,
a small community on the north shore of Boston, preparing for Passover was a BIG deal. My mother and I
would clean off the pantry shelves of any chometz-anything made of bread or that would rise, like rice, and
then lay brown paper to separate the ordinary from the specialness of the Passover eight days. My mother
would unpack the shopping bags she had been stockpiling for the last month containing the big boxes
of matzah, matzah meal, jars of gefilte fish and horseradish and black cherry tonic and other sundries. Then we would open the large wooden barrel my father had brought up from the basement that was
full of all sizes of dishes and silverware, pots and pans, and baking supplies that were all wrapped in last
year’s newspaper. My job was to empty the barrel and to put things in their place. And then, when everything was clean and the wooden shelf was put in the sink, we would begin cooking; chicken soup
with matzah balls, chopped liver, charoset made of apples-walnuts-wine, Passover rolls, and raspberry preserve filled cookies made with matzah meal, sponge cake, and brisket. We would prepare the Passover
plate with all the objects that symbolized the freedom we would be celebrating. Passover Seder, when my
grandparents were alive, was held in their apartment upstairs in our two family home and all who could
come of the twelve children and their offspring would sit around the long table and work our way through

the Haggadah. I was often carried downstairs having fallen asleep by the end of the very long story telling and
dinner.
And as an adult in my home and those of friends with birth families and families of choice, there have been
many Passover celebrations filled with the joy of coming together to remember and to celebrate, of eating and
honoring the freedom we have, and contributing our own stories of slavery and freedom since the last
year. And asking questions like why is this night different from other nights. . . .
A core teaching of Judaism is either ‘do not forget’ or ‘remember.’ Pesach is a time to remember and notice
what we have, where we have been and where we are, who is still in slavery, as a core essence of Judaism is
social justice, to do Tikkun Olam, repair the world. In the Torah, we read at least 36 times that once we were
strangers in a strange land. We cannot be free until others are free. Each year before Passover begins I get
emails from many various non-profit organizations asking me to remember those whom we might forget as we
sit in plenty. This year we will remember those who do not have enough to eat, women in slavery and who are
abused, people in the military who cannot be home or are home living with trauma of war, and to be conscious
of our ecological challenges such as oil spills and endangered species.
Next year may there be peace in the world, more peace balanced with the kopvetick, a Yiddish word that
means pain in the head that we know reaches down to the heart. Cain Yihee Ratzone and AMEN, so may it
be! A world that knows that freedom is accepting the Mystery of Life as an integral part of our lives.
Rabbi TZiPi Radonsky, Ph.D., founder of Watering The Tree Outside the Fence Foundation and Creator of the
Society of the Vav, blends the teachings of mystical Hebrew Wisdom and her 25 years of experience as an
executive leadership coach, occupational therapist, mindfulness teacher and global traveler into her teaching
and living. She is fun and funny and pushes herself and you to say ‘yes, and…’ to life. Her books The Spiritual
Pilgrim Discovers Home, Are you a spiritual Pilgrim? and AND: Building a World of Connection through Jewish
Mystical Wisdom show her desire to learn and share her journey hopefully inspiring you to come back to your
true self and listen to your heart.
President’s Message
April brings us three celebrations of FREEDOM.
I was going to say something about Passover, but Rabbi TZiPi has done this for us. All I can say is
that the sacrifices of our ancestors to escape slavery and to bring us where we are today must be
honored by us. Judaism has survived and Temple Oseh Shalom will survive and bring us together.
We will be commemorating Yom Hashoah, April 17. This honors those whose lives were taken during
the Holocaust and the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
The third freedom is Israeli Independence Day. We will celebrate this day at Temple Oseh Shalom on
Sunday, April 26, with a special service and light supper catered by Gruby’s Deli.
To summarize, April is the season not only of Spring, but also the time of freedom for Judaism. So
let Temple Oseh Shalom move forward in unity and friendship so that we can help our congregation
and community.

SATURDAY MORNING
On April 18, we will meet with Rabbi Joan Lenowitz to discuss the timely and important subject of organ donation by Jews. Whether Jews can donate their body parts
without violating Jewish law is a topic examined by every Jewish segment from Orthodox to Reform. The Torah’s stipulations on k’vod ha’met, hana’ah, and pikuach
nefesh all come into play, as does the timing of the donation. We all need to know
the “right” thing to do. Although Rabbi Lenowitz did not specifically mention other
related subjects that might be of interest, such as cremation and tattooing, there
might be an opportunity to ask questions about these as well. We will meet at
10:00 AM at the Lowcountry Presbyterian Church. (Ray Mintz)

FILM CLUB
The Temple Film Club will be showing Gentleman’s Agreement on April 12 at 3pm
in the Fellowship Hall. The film starring Gregory Peck won the Oscar for Best
Film, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Director in 1947. It was a breakthrough
film being the first to deal with anti-Semitism following WWII and the Holocaust. Based on Laura Z. Hobson’s novel, it follows the experiences of a journalist
who assumes the identity of a Jew and as a result experiences bigotry in a variety of
situations, the most insidious being the subtle “gentleman’s agreement” when antiJewish sentiments are taken for granted. (Jackie Katz)

Temple Oseh Shalom Choir
This month we’ll be commemorating Yom Hashoah and we will have a visiting
Rabbi, Rabbi Lenowitz officiating at that service. It will be a different service
this year with Yom Hashoah incorporated into our Shabbat service. The choir
is learning a few new tunes for that service. I hope that you will all come and
share the service with us – and sing when you can.
I would very much like to hear from any of you who have melodies, old and
new, that you’d like to suggest. The choir leads the singing and it’s always
more fun for us if you join in. I can be reached at 843-705-7368 or at

ETERNAL TREE OF LIFE
These last few months have brought sadness to many of our congregants as loved ones have passed away. All our sympathy and prayers
have been with them during funerals and shivas. As an aging community,
it is unfortunate, but true, that the future will hold sad times for many of
our congregants. Temple Oseh Shalom continues to add leaves to its Tree
of Eternal Life. The Tree of Eternal Life is mounted on the side of the Temple Ark. This is a wonderful way to memorialize loved ones.
The form is in the back of the Shofar or you can contact Larry Katz at 7055765. Each leaf costs $100.

Parris Island Volunteers
Do you remember Marine Recruit Joel Meltzer?
He attended our Jewish services every week during his basic training. Joel is
now Corporal Meltzer and a member of "The Commandant's Own," the
United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps. They performed last week at Savannah State University and Joel invited Jeff and me to attend. What a treat
watching the three ceremonial units from the Marine Barracks Washington,
DC. In addition to the Drum & Bugle Corps, we saw the Marine Corps Silent
Drill Platoon and the Marine Corps Color Guard. These units travel worldwide demonstrating the discipline and professionalism of the Marine Corps.
We are so proud of Joel and happy that he remembered our services (and
us) so fondly. He looked so dashing in his uniform and flashes a great smile.

An Easier Link to the TOS Amazon Site
I have mentioned in the past how easy it is to support the Temple when you
buy from Amazon. Temple Oseh Shalom receives a percentage of the sale
price for all items purchased by our members through one of our links located on our website – www.templeosehshalom.org
But Jeff Glazer has made it even easier. He has created a link that will take
people directly to our access page at Amazon.com and should be easier to
use. Simply go to amazon.templeosehshalom.org – bookmark this link or
write it down somewhere. It is really a no-brainer to use this link when you
buy from Amazon. Just remember:
