Jan Cherniavsky, pianist, dead at 96 JfVfi Staff Jan Cherniavsky, a retired concert pianist who helped found Vancouver's symphony orchestra and opera association, passed away Sunday, Jan. 8, He was 96. Bom a Jew in the Ukraine, he gave his first performance in Russia in 1900 and played for Czar Nicholas II with his brothers in 19!3. The Cherniavsky Trio already was mtemationally renowned when Vancouverite Lionel Goodman first heard Jan Cherniavsky play. JAN CHEBNIAVSKV "T first saw him perlorm in Calgary in the 1920s, The trio loured the world three limes. I niusi have heen nine or 10 years old und it was the first lime I had ever been in a church It scared the hell out of me," recalled Goodman, a retired businessman active in Vancouver's music scene. Cherniavsky moved to Vancouver soon after. Here he worked to esiablish the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and ihe V: Opera Association. Soon after the new JCC opened 25 years ago, Goodman was Organizing the Jewish Community String Orchestra. Cherniavsky al the time was working with the VSO. That was when their paths crossed once again, "He said, 'I've had very little to do with the Jewish community but I'd like to perform with your orchestra'," Goodman told The Bulletin. Goodman didn't think Cherniavsky wold play for the small amount the Jewish orchestra paid guest performers, Cherniavsky, however, refused payment and asked instead that the money go toward hiring seven woodwind players. "He wanted to perform a Mojan concerto, and he did. He was quite a sight in his black velvet jacket and his white hair. He really charmed the people." remembered Goodman. Cherniavsky was also a founding member and an honorary trustee of the Vancouver Academy of Music. Today, his donated baby grand piano sils in the academy's rehearsal liull. He is survived by a son, daughter, eight grandchildren and nine grcal-gnindchildren. S7«- I9K9 Tu B'Shval Jan, 21 Feb.

How is it possible tfiat so soon after G-d saves the Israelites from the pursuing Egyptians that the people start bickering and complaining as if nothing awesome had just happened? We know that the splitting of the Red Sea was certainly not just another miracle. To help us understand what transpired, the Mldrash relates that even the vision of prophets in later generations did not approach what a simple maidservant saw that day. The events create an emotion so powerful in the people that, together with Moses, they render their feelings into the charged, expressive language of the 'Shira': "I will slag to G-d for He has trbanphed gloriously, the horse and the rider has He thrown in the sea, the L^rd is my strength and song, and He is become my sahadon." For the next twenty-two verses of fiery language the people laud the wonders of G-d. {Exodus 15:1-22) Our Sabbath this week is called Shabbat Shira, acknowledging that this is perhaps the only time in the Five Books when the nation as a whole reaches such expressive heights. Indeed, the 'Shira' is so powerful a prayer that it has ... become a central part of the daily liturgy. And yet, when the description of these miraculous events end, a new stage begins. The miracles are over — the people need water, and there isn't any, the people complain. When they finally come to Marah the water is bitter; and only when Mosea cries to G-d is he shown a tree which can make the water drinkable. Hunger follows thirst. The people 'murmur' against Moses and Aaron, and we then read the astonishing verse: "IJoidy we had died at the hand of G-d in the land of Egypt, whenwesatby the flesh pots and ate ourfia of bread..." (163) Is this possible? Could such ideas emerge from the same lips which just uttered, "Kour right hand, O G-d, is awesome in power, your right band, O G-d, crushes the foe."
