In Torah culture, however, summer in the northern hemisphere is dominated by the Three Weeks, the period between the Fast of the Seventeenth of Tammuz and the Fast of Tisha B’Av, two of the historical fast days that commemorate the events that led to the destruction of the Holy Temple. While this is anything but a carefree period, it is not a morbid time either. The Rambam in Hilkhot Taanit (5:1) explains that the purpose of the fast days and this period in general is “to awaken the hearts to open to the paths of Tshuvah, a remembering of our bad actions and the actions of our ancestors that were similar to our actions now, such that they caused these sufferings for them and for us. By remembering these things we shall return to improve ourselves.” According to the Rambam, this period in which we remember the troubles that have come upon our People is not a time to wallow in depression or negativity. It’s a time to take action, to improve our relations to each other, to strengthen our commitment to Torah and Mitzvot and strengthen our sense of connection to Ha-Shem. So the summer for us is not a time of frivolity, it is a time of uplifting activity, serious activity to improve ourselves and our community, the beginning of the season of Tshuvah on the national level. In keeping with this spirit, the Young Israel of Sharon for many years now has hosted the Summer Beit Midrash, sponsored by the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, under the direction of Rabbi Aryeh Klapper. Students from colleges, graduate schools and yeshivot around the world are granted fellowships to come and study in Sharon, in an intensive, high-level six-week Torah learning program. These students also engage with our Kehillah. They are hosted by many of our families and learn in chavrutot and chugim with our members. They also offer shiurim to which our members are invited. In addition, Rabbi Klapper’s weekly general shiur is an intellectual highlight of our year. This summer, the Summer Beit Midrash Program runs from June 26 through August 6. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the Summer Beit Midrash, and to turn our summer, in the vacationland of Sharon, into a time of inspiring activity and a season to remember. As my father-in-law likes to say: Enjoy, seriously! Rabbi Meir Sendor 3 From Our New President In Parshat Naso, that we read a couple of weeks ago, the leaders of each Shevet bring a Korban offering to consecrate the Mishkan. Even though each of the tribes’ offerings is exactly the same, the Torah takes the time to describe each one individually. I believe this demonstrates the importance of how each tribe took the time to gather their items and bring them to the Mishkan, exhibiting their desire to be a part of this event. The same can be true today in our times. Each member of our Shul has the potential and ability to make a difference. As we kick off our new board and fiscal year at Young Israel, I ask each of you to find a way to be involved in the Shul. We are setting up committees for each board member and hope that you will join and contribute your talents as part of whatever committee interests you. Look at the list on the next page, talk with the directors and find the place where you can make a difference. As always, helping to create a warm and friendly atmosphere in the Shul by reaching out to new members and visitors is always needed. We are also looking to grow our daily minyanim, so pick one minyan a week and make the commitment to attend. If you need help finding your place, you can ask any of the board members for suggestions. It takes a tremendous effort each week to keep the Shul running, so everyone’s help is greatly appreciated! This also marks the end of board service for Amir Karger and David Blaszkowsky. Amir has lead the Education committee keeping our members’ minds challenged and entertained for the past few years. Amir has brought in speakers on all subjects. David led the fundraising committee this past year, while juggling his travels and the Shul fundraising program. Finally, what can I say about Michael Delman, our out-going president. There is too much to fit into this short letter, so I will just say – Thank you for putting your heart and soul into our Shul. It has been inspiring watching you work tirelessly, focusing on every detail to make the Shul function. You have focused the board on building a better community, and taking care of each other. I hope to continue your efforts and I truly appreciate all that you have done. To the returning board members, thank you for time and effort. I truly look forward to working closely with all of you this year. - David 4 Thanks to Our Shul Board – Outgoing, Continuing, and New Members! Thanks to the 2012-2013 Board!

How long have you been living in Sharon? What brought you here? Shari and I moved to Sharon 12 years ago from Teaneck NJ. We heard from Ruth and Ari Schwartz, who had just moved to Sharon the year before, that it was a great place to live. We came to visit and could feel the sense of community. We had been thinking about moving closer to our parents and family in Newton, and this gave us a great opportunity to live in our own community and be near family. What is your family's favorite part of Sharon? We love the open feel of Sharon, Lake Massapoag, Moose Hill, and Borderland park, being surrounded in nature. What do you do to keep busy, for work and play? Shari and I run a construction/maintenance company that we started over ten years ago . Our 4 children keep us busy and constantly on the go – Shoshana 17, Nava 14, Ami 12 and Yardana 9. Tell us an interesting tidbit about yourselves! We have been married for 21 years this summer, but we have know each other since we were 5 years old in 1st grade at Maimonides. We didn’t start dating officially until the end of our Junior year of High School. David, what made you join the YI Board initially? Any big plans as president? The shul is the center of our lives. Each week we attend shul and catch up on the lives of our friends. It’s a place to go and feel part of a larger group who care for each other. We have celebrated so many simchas together, births and bris’s, bar and bat mitzvas and now weddings. We are truly a family. My goal as President is to get more shul members involved in the daily running of the shul. Each member has an opportunity to make a difference in the growth of our shul. 6 From Stav and Yarin לכל קהילת שרון שלום וברכה! לא להאמין איך שהזמן טס לו ,והנה אנחנו כבר בסוף השנה. לפני הכל רצינו להגיד שאתם קהילה מדהימה ,חמה ואוהבת ,תומכת ומקשיבה ובעיקר מקבלת כל אדם. בתחילת שנה באנו בלי לדעת למה לצפות ואיך תהיה השנה הזאת ,וישר בשבוע הראשון הבנו שהגענו למקום מיוחד במינו. גילנו תרבות חדשה) ,בכל משפט באנגלית חייב להכניס את המילה !
