Congregation Beth Torah May 2015 Iyar / Sivan 5775 Shavuot Dinner Study Session and (See page 7) Shavuot 2015 begins in the evening of Saturday, May 23 and ends in the evening of Monday, May 25 From the President Alan Hoffman | [email protected] This month’s article will take on a different feeling from prior months. As I write this article, Karen and I are ending a 10-day tour of Poland, Czech Republic, and Germany. This was a journey through the past (actually ,1,000 year history) as well as a reflection on today and thoughts for tomorrow. We began our tour with the expectation of seeing how difficult life was for our fellow Jews in this part of Europe. I thought it was going to be nothing but one depressing site after another. It was actually quite the contrary. We saw how life has changed from German dominance to Communist rule to open democratic societies. The countries are vibrant with palatable young adult energy. We also learned and discussed the two Jewish points of connection, ritual and cultural. The question came up: “Am I a Jew?” One answer was, I am a Jew because I enjoy programming at the JCC and Synagogue, but I don’t attend services regularly. “Am I a Jew?” Another answer was, I am a Jew because I go to shul every day, yet never reach out to my community, or participate in cultural events. Of course there is middle ground, as well, yet the answer was always YES, I am a Jew. In Warsaw, Prague, and Berlin we saw engaged communities. However, we also saw the generation of Jews that did not affiliate with anything Jewish. This seemed to be rooted in Nazi and Communist rule. The difference in the generations was obvious. This experience started me thinking about Beth Torah. Are we offering all the opportunities that YOU need to connect your Jewish identity with your fellow congregants? Are there programs (inside the shul and outside in the community) that provide a better entry point? Are there ideas that you as congregants would like to explore that we have not yet championed? We have been—and continue to be—a lay-led congregation. It’s what makes us who we are. I would like to hear from you—our congregant—about any thoughts or ideas you feel will continue to move CBT on the inclusive trajectory we are on. As I conclude my comments, I must pause to thank my Executive Board, as well as your Board of Directors, for another fantastic year. Our successes are a result of each individual’s passion for our congregational family. Cheryl Drazin—Exec VP Vikki Silvis—Development VP David Rosen—Treasurer Chuck Smith—Past President David Engleberg—Financial VP Jessica Winter—Education VP Marty Fried—Board Secretary Lou Kaiser—Assistant Treasurer Debbie Wills—Membership VP Neil Burnstein—Ritual VP Liz Cox—Operations Director When you see these passionate volunteers at services or a program, pause to thank them for a job well done. I look forward to seeing all of you at the congregational meeting on Tuesday May 26 at 7:30 PM. You will hear comments from Rabbi Zelony and myself. We will also vote on our new officers for the coming year. L’Shalom In the event of an emergency— Rabbi Elana Zelony LC Director Ruth Schor President Alan Hoffman Executive VP Cheryl Drazin Development VP Vikki Silvis Education VP Jessica Winter Congregation Beth Torah | Page 2 Financial VP David Engelberg Membership VP Debbie Wills Ritual VP Neil Burnstein Treasurer David Rosen Board Secretary Marty Fried Past President Chuck Smith For illness, death, or other family life cycle emergency after-hours, please contact Rabbi Zelony at 310.409.6532. Synagogue offices are open— Sundays, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM Mondays—Thursdays, 9AM to 5:30 PM Fridays, 9AM to 5PM From Learning Center Ruth Schor, Director of Learning Center | 972.234.1542 x232 [email protected] In the beginning of the month of September we all gathered in the sanctuary to welcome the new school year. We expressed our hopes for greater achievements and fulfillments and I extended my annual invitation to the parents to become partners in our Jewish education and to help us to play a significant role in their children’s Jewish upbringing. Our school has been blessed with this very important partnership and it has been expressed in various ways throughout the years. I have had the pleasure to teach Hebrew and prayer skills to parents who wished to become knowledgeable so that they could help their children. Jewish teaching turned into actions thanks to parents and congregants who organized mitzvah projects and all our celebrations of special milestones in our student’s lives always look and feel extra special and warm due to parental involvement and thoughtfulness. I trust that your May calendar is already marked with the very important date, May 17. On this day we will celebrate Yom Yerushalyim and the last day of school. This will be my last celebration with you and I hope you will all join so that I can thank you in person for the 19 years of Jewish inspiration, friendship, collaboration, support, and so much more. Yom Yerushalyim is a national holiday in Israel celebrated on the 28th of the Hebrew month Iyar, to commemorate the unification of Jerusalem after conquering the Old City and East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War. Jerusalem has been a symbol of hope and promise for Jewish eternity and I cannot think of a more appropriate day to celebrate the last day of school when celebrate our own unity as a community. The most meaningful and uplifting reward of leading the same school for 19 years is seeing my very young students years later assuming leadership roles in the Jewish community. The hugs that accompany these reunions are even more heartwarming. If we can produce Jewish leadership in our school, then we know our mission has been accomplished, as leadership ensures the continuity of Jewish life and vibrant community building. Our success is not measured by the frequency of changing our curriculum and naming our programs, titles and goals differently. Rather, it is measured by the long-term commitment our families make to ensure continued Jewish education. The most important thing is to realize that the development of meaningful Jewish identity begins after the B’nai Mitzvah celebration. It is after our youth enter Jewish adulthood that they realize that being Jewish does matter and that belonging to a synagogue and the Jewish community brings more fulfillment and meaning into their lives. When you join us on May 17 for a morning of celebration, you will be granted with the honor and privilege to offer gratitude and acknowledgment to all of those who helped us to reach higher in our goals and deeper in their accomplishments. Our one of a kind faculty is responsible for our achievements and successes. Each teacher contributes his/her special skills and talents to our programs and we are thankful to our wonderful students who express an interest in their teaching and reached out and supported our teacher’s efforts. Thank you all for being a part in my Jewish journey and I am looking forward to continuing it and reaching new heights in my new endeavor. Submissions for the Family Record are encouraged!

Many Christians on the other hand, see it as foundational to their faith and study it religiously. This class will present a Jewish perspective on the book, highlighting its role in preparing the way for post Scriptural Judaism. Reference will also be made to Christian interpretations of certain passages, especially those understood as prefiguring the advent of Jesus as messiah.

From Sisterhood Sisterhood Book Club 20 May, 7:30 PM Esther Cohen & Robyn Rose, Co-Presidents | [email protected] The Seamstress by Sara Tuvel Bernstein Contact Carol Rothschild at 972.805.3612 [email protected] 2016 meeting dates: January 20, March 16, May 18, July 20 July 15 The Eight by Katherine Neville September Richardson Reads—date/book TBA October/November JCC Reads (Tycher Library)—date/book TBA From Kirkus Reviews A striking Holocaust memoir, posthumously published, by a Romanian Jew with an unusual story to tell. From its opening pages, in which she recounts her own premature birth, triggered by terrifying rumors of an incipient pogrom, Bernstein's tale is clearly not a typical memoir of the Holocaust. She was born into a large family in rural Romania between the wars and grew up feisty and willing to fight back physically against anti-Semitism from other schoolchildren. She defied her father's orders to turn down a scholarship that took her to Bucharest, and got herself expelled from that school when she responded to a priest/teacher's vicious diatribe against the Jews by hurling a bottle of ink at him. Ashamed to return home after her expulsion, she looked for work in Bucharest and discovered a talent for dressmaking. That talent--and her blond hair, blue eyes, and overall Gentile appearance--allowed her entry into the highest reaches of Romanian society, albeit as a dressmaker. Bernstein recounts the growing shadow of the native fascist movement, the Iron Guard, a rising tide of anti-Semitic laws, and finally, the open persecution of Romania's Jews. After a series of incidents that ranged from dramatic escapes to a year in a forced labor detachment, Sara ended up in a women's concentration camp deep in Germany. Nineteen out of every twenty women transported there died. The author, her sister Esther, and two other friends banded together and, largely due to Sara's extraordinary street smarts and intuition, managed to survive. Although Bernstein was not a professional writer, she tells this story with style and power. Her daughter Marlene contributes a moving epilogue to close out Sara's life. One of the best of the recent wave of Holocaust memoirs.-- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
