PARASHAT PEKUDEI: Moses instructs Aaron’s son Itamar to conduct an
accounting of the materials used for the building of the mishkan, the
portable yet holy Meeting Place between God and Moses. The making of the
priestly vestments is described. Once all of the work has been completed,
the mishkan and its furnishings are brought to Moses and he blesses the
people who made them. God instructs Moses to set up the mishkan, to anoint
it and its contents, and to consecrate Aaron and his sons. The cloud
representing God’s presence fills the mishkan, lifting up from it when it is
time for the Israelites to set out on their journeys.
The Torah reading can be found in Chumash Etz Hayim on page 564.

If there is a God, Lior is definitely closer to God than anyone else I
know."
-- Yoni Liebling, Lior's brother
An engrossing, wrenching and tender documentary film, PRAYING WITH LIOR,
introduces Lior Liebling, also called "the little rebbe." Lior has Down
Syndrome, and has spent his
entire life praying with utter abandon. Is he a "spiritual genius" as many
around him say? Or simply the vessel that contains everyone’s unfulfilled
wishes and expectations? Lior – whose name
means "my light" — lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit
hover over the film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God, he’s also
a burden, a best friend, an inspiration, and an embarrassment, depending on
which family member is speaking. As Lior approaches Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish
coming-of-age ceremony, different characters provide a window into life
spent "praying with Lior." The movie poses difficult questions such as what
is "disability" and who really talks to God? Told with intimacy and humor,
PRAYING WITH LIOR is a family story,
a triumph story, a grief story, a divinely-inspired story, a documentary
about a young man with Down Syndrome who is a charismatic prayer leader.
We are excited to announce that a block of tickets for the March 30th
screening of PRAYING WITH LIOR at the West Orange JCC has been
reserved for us. Many thanks to Lori Schor for arranging these tickets and
for volunteering to coordinate the purchase and distribution of tickets.
What a wonderful way for B’nai Israel to demonstrate, as a community, that
this is a way of life we all support!
To reserve your tickets, please contact Lori Schor at 973-464-8484 or
lorschor at aol.com. There are a limited number of seats available.
SEE YOU AT THE MOVIES!

Sunday, April 6th

Tikkun olam (healing the world) is a Jewish value with many facets. In
Israel, this has been translated into concrete programs where Israel's
excellence in

medical assistance. Israel's contribution to global health is hailed by the
United Nations, African leaders and governments and by public health leaders
across the world.
Dr. Inon Schenker is a leading Israeli public health researcher and
educator, specializing in the fields of HIV/AIDS prevention, youth
risk-taking and international health. He has special expertise in the area
of cross-cultural public health intervention in conflict regions. He was the
coordinator of International Programs at the Hebrew University-Hadassah
Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Jerusalem and has
academic positions also at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of
Medicine and the Hadassah Jerusalem College. He is the founding chair of the
Jerusalem AIDS Project and currently heads the Geneva Seminar on Global
Health.
Come hear this noted expert in the field of public health and AIDS
prevention speak on heroic stories of Israeli doctors and nurses
volunteering in global health missions and bringing smiles to suffering
children, women and men across Africa.

News from USCJ's Israel Commission
& The Conservative Movement's
Israel 60th Anniversary Committee
A Message From Rabbi Paul Freedman
USCJ's Director for Israel Outreach
Last June, I met in Jerusalem with United Synagogue's president, Dr. Ray
Goldstein; its vice president for Israel, Dr. Saul Shapiro; its executive
director, Rabbi Jerome Epstein and Rabbi Jim Lebeau, the director of United
Synagogue's Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center. We decided to offer both delegations
from congregations and individual synagogue members a number of activities
and services when they visit Israel.
After many more meetings, we came up with the opportunities listed below. As
you can see, we have gotten the full participation of the
Masorti/Conservative organizations in Israel, and we are enormously proud of
that.
What do we ask of you?
First, please circulate this information as widely as you can, keeping in
mind that we can offer programs and suggestions to individual travelers as
well as to congregational missions.
Next, let us know if there is anyone you'd like me to reach out to
personally with information or an offer of support.
Here is a link to the website the Conservative movement has dedicated to
information about Israel's 60th birthday :
<http://mail2web.com/cgi-bin/redir.asp?lid=0&newsite=http://www.israelannive
rsary.org/index2.html> http://www.israelanniversary.org/index2.html. On that
website you can find a link to the document below – it's here:
<http://www.israelanniversary.org/conservative-masorti-judaism-in-israel.htm
l>
http://www.israelanniversary.org/conservative-masorti-judaism-in-israel.html
-- along with much more information about how to celebrate Israel at 60.
If you or anyone else has any questions, please get in touch with me, and
please be sure to let me know what you do in response to this material.
