TISHA B’AV TO BE OBSERVED AT TEMPLE ADAS ISRAEL MONDAY JULY 19
Tisha B’Av,
the Fast of the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av will be observed on
Monday evening July 19, at 8 PM at Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor.
Tisha B’AV primarily commemorates the destruction of the first and
second Temples, both of which were destroyed on the ninth of Av (the
first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E; the second by the Romans in 70
C.E.).
During the
Tisha B’Av service there will be a dramatic reading of the Book of
Lamentations. Temple members who will participate include: Diane Lewis,
David Lee, Nathanial Oppenheimer, Leah Oppenheimer and others, according
to Rabbi Leon Morris.
It is the
culmination of a three week period of increasing mourning. During this
period weddings and other parties are not permitted and the most
observant Jews refrain from cutting their hair. From the first to the 9th
of Av it is the custom to not eat meat or drink wine, except on Shabbat
and not to wear new clothing. The restrictions are similar to those on
Yom Kippur.

chapters -one of which will be discussed each week. Among the discussion
topics are: the significance of Sabbath in various religions; the moral

based" as opposed to a "feeling-based" society and the traditional and
contemporary value of discipline in modern life.

infantile wish fulfillment. Is his negative view of religion valid? Are
contemporary psychology and religion compatible?"

SALSA PARTY
ON JUNE 13 AT TEMPLE ADAS ISRAEL
Temple
Adas Israel, a sponsor of SHINE (Sag Harbor in Nicaragua
Enterprise), will hold a benefit Salsa Dance on Sunday afternoon
June 13 at 3 PM at the Temple. SHINE was created by Temple Board
member and real estate professional James Dwoskin, who wanted "to
make a difference" in Monteverde, Nicaragua, where the majority of
residents live in poverty. The dance instructor will be Victor
Holguin, owner of two Arthur Murray franchises in Southampton and
Patchoque. Light food and sangria will be served and a donation of
$18 (chai) is expected...however multiples of chai will be
graciously appreciated. Child care will also be available so the
grown-ups can have some fun, according to the party’s organizer,
Judy Spencer, a Sag Harbor resident and Temple member. Everyone in
the Sag Harbor community is invited to participate. 100% of the
proceeds will go to benefit the people of Monteverde.
Mr.
Dwoskin’s hope is for the community in Sag Harbor to "adopt" the
small village of Monteverde, Nicarauga. Working with El Porvenir,
an established organization, Mr. Dwoskin feels Sag Harbor can help
improve life in Monteverde in several ways – by constructing
latrines, installing properly vented, fuel-efficient stoves, and
by building wells. Monteverde has no well. Villagers must make a
two hour trip daily just to have enough water to sustain
themselves. Dwoskin says, "If we can arrange to have a well
drilled, the villagers will have more time to tend their crops and
to further their education. They might possibly break out of the
cycle of poverty." Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the
Western Hemisphere. "The people really pulled at my heartstrings"
Dwoskin said. In addition to wells, he hopes that the money raised
in Sag Harbor will also go toward improving conditions in the
village school, which serves about 100 children and has only one
functioning latrine.
Rabbi
Leon Morris of Temple Adas Israel, a sponsor of the project, said
"what could be a more pressing mitzvah (obligation) than digging a
well, building latrines, manufacturing and installing stoves and
improving educational opportunities?"
Regular
Shabbat evening services will be held Friday June 11 at 8 PM. On
Saturday morning at 10 AM a Shabbat morning Torah study and
service will be held. Kiddush will follow both Shabbat services.

JONATHAN GLYNN SPEAKS ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE IN HAITI ...JUNE 4 AT
TEMPLE ADAS ISRAEL
Sag Harbor resident and Temple Adas Israel Board member, Jonathan Nash
Glynn will present "Singing in the Dead of Night" about his personal
experiences as a pilot, in response to the Haitian earthquake
disaster, at Temple Adas Israel, Sag Harbor on Friday evening June 4
at 8 PM. The community is welcome to attend.
When the
earthquake struck Haiti, artist Jonathan Glynn, a Sag Harbor resident
with a pilot’s license, got into his small plane and went to help.
Since then he has been working tirelessly taking much needed medical
and other supplies where they are needed most. In his travels he has
created a network of doctors, missionaries, military people,
orphanages, and countless other caring people all working in the most
challenging conditions to help the people of Haiti get the relief they
need.
"I flew 18
hours in my Cessna 172 stopping every 3 hrs. for fuel from East
Hampton to Jacmel, Haiti. I was sure a small plane was needed to get
to inaccessible areas. The flying was difficult and at times very
risky. The first week I worked with the people from Calvary Chapel in
NJ and delivered over $100,000 worth of much needed medical supplies
to the make-shift hospitals near Jacmel. After that I focused on
getting morphine, oral narcotics and antibiotics to the hospital since
they were performing amputations without anesthesia and that broke my
heart. I was able to acquire and deliver enough morphine so at least
10% of the amputations (4,000-5,000 estimated) while I was there could
be done with anesthesia. I feel good about that. I received a lot of
encouragement and support from my friends at home. I returned to Haiti
once after my first trip –and our organization Wings Over Haiti
has held several successful fund raisers", See
www.WingsOverHaiti.org
for information, photos and events.
On Saturday
morning, June 5 at 10AM there will be a Shabbat Torah Study and
service at the Temple.
Temple Adas Israel, Long Island’s oldest synagogue, is located at
