They have been long-time members of Beth Am and now B’nai Jeshurun. Shabbat regulars and Torah readers, they have been involved in leadership, learning and volunteering. Their dedication to the synagogue and community, as well as their passion for Israel and Jewish life, is evident not only in their own lives, but those of their children. I hope you will join us as we celebrate this amazing couple. Candle Lighting Balak, king of Moab, hires Balaam, a pagan prophet, to curse the Israelites. But every time Balaam tries, out comes a blessing instead. What was it about the Israelites that made them so invincible? When Balaam looked down on the Israelite encampment, he saw they had their tents facing each other. Their relationships were deep and solid and they stood as one unified, extended family. In that moment, Balaam knew the Israelites were so united they could never be defeated. Torah Portions We, too, are stronger when we turn our tents inward toward each other. But too often, we don’t. We turn away from each other over differences in political views or affiliations. The differences are real and worthy of debate, but when we allow them to shatter our unity, we weaken ourselves and become vulnerable. We also turn away from family and friends, severing our deepest, most meaningful and sustaining relationships over hurts and slights that sometimes are real, but sometimes exaggerated or imagined. We need to work to repair and restore relationships in our lives. The summer season is all about reconciliation. We mark the Fast of Tammuz, the day on which both the Babylonians and the Romans breached the walls of Jerusalem leading to The Temple’s destruction on the 9th of Av. Many other terrible Jewish tragedies happened on this day, but one courageous act of hope also occurred on this day: Moses smashed the first set of tablets following the sin of the golden calf. He could have kept the tablets as a reminder of their rebelliousness, but he smashed them, sending a clear message to God: Yes, this moment of rebellion and infidelity hurt, but your relationship with Israel transcends this moment. It is deeper, broader, more meaningful, fraught with more hope and potential. The same is true of our relationships. Isn’t it time to turn your tent back toward those you love?

Membership continues to decline, and the income necessary for us to operate is becoming harder to collect. So a few months into my presidency, I appointed a task force to look at alternatives to dues, a move that approximately 40 Reform and Conservative synagogues across the country have already made. We read articles, conducted conference calls with other synagogues and explored how that sort of change might work here at B’nai Jeshurun. More recently, we shared what we found with the Board and other constituencies and received agreement that we should continue down the path. “…proposal to replace dues… with a single, annual pledge process.” As a result, throughout the rest of this year, we will be arranging a series of community conversations to share a proposal to replace dues, Mahar and other fundraising we do with a single, annual pledge process. In those meetings, we will cover a lot of detail, but it boils down to this: your family will be asked to make a pledge for the coming year, based on information we will provide about what it costs per person to run the synagogue and what your family contributed the year before. No more first year membership rates, no more automatic increase because you had a birthday and are moved into a new age category, no more dues appeals. Making this sort of change will have an impact not only on how we raise funds, but also on the very culture of who we are. Imagine a synagogue where membership isn’t defined as a business transaction based on your willingness and ability to pay the going rate, but is instead defined by continued on page 11 After receiving the Torah during Shavuot, the Israelites continue to wander in the wilderness, and through the weekly Torah portions all summer, we wander alongside them. As the Israelites grow into their freedom, their nationhood and their relationship with God, we learn from their mistakes and their growing pains and apply their lessons to our lives. Over the course of the next few months, we’ll learn, through the Israelites’ eyes, that complaining is generally annoying and ineffective (Parshat Chukkat, June 27). We’ll learn that panicking is a bad idea, and usually backfires (Parshat Shelach Lecha, June 13). We’ll learn that even if the grass looks greener back in Egypt than it does in the wilderness, we’re better off appreciating what we have now (Parshat Beha’alotecha, June 6). As we join the Israelites on their journey and learn from both their highest and lowest moments, from their embrace of Torah and their grumbling ingratitude, I want to thank you for sharing your journeys with me this past year. As my time as rabbinic intern winds down, I’ve been reflecting on everything that I learned from each of you (not to mention from the clergy!). Thank you for allowing me to join you for your most painful moments and your most joyous, for sharing your frustrations with our tradition and your passionate commitment to it. Through your opening up to me and enabling me to see synagogue life through your eyes, I’ve been inspired by the holiness of the B’nai Jeshurun community and the individuals who comprise it. As my own journey leads me to the chuppah in August, back to rabbinical school in the Fall, and on to a new internship just outside of New York City, I will be carrying with me all that I learned from you. Thank you again for affording me the opportunity and privilege to be part of your lives, and as a Clevelander, I hope to be back to visit often, to share the stories and lessons of my journey, and to hear about yours. B’ahavah (with love), Rabbi Paula Sass A full service landscape design and build firm. Yard maintenance and lawn fertilizer programs available. Matt Angelotta, Owner 440-336-1590 www.bnaijeshurun.org June/July 2015 Sivan/Tammuz/Av 5775 3 Education & Youth State of the Youth & Learning Center At the end of the school year, we can reflect on all the wonderful things that have been accomplished, as well as the areas we are striving to strengthen. First and foremost, we pride ourselves on the strong knowledge base we instill - Torah, Jewish values, Shabbat, Hebrew, prayers, holidays, Jewish history, Israel - that lead to strong Jewish identity and pride in our heritage. Seeing our 2nd graders engaged in Hebrew activities, watching our 3rd graders lead the entire Shabbat morning service, hearing our 4th and 5th graders chant from the Torah (join us any Shabbat during the school year at our youth service, 10:50 am in Nickman Chapel!); these are just a few examples of the tremendous learning happening here. We all know that Jewish learning is not designed to be merely academic, but rather to be lived and cherished. To that end, it’s exciting to see our Shabbaton series continuing to get stronger, with over 300 people joining for Shabbat dinners over the course of the year, over 100 3rd - 6th grade students joining two Shabbat overnights, and 60 students joining our Israel-themed Youth Shabbaton this past April. We are working to add programs for our younger students, such as our Havdalah, Ice Cream, MeshugaNotes concert for pre-K - 2nd grade students and families, and beginning to strengthen integration between our Shabbaton series and youth groups, which extend the experience through their high school years. This year marked the beginning of a process to adapt our post-B’nai Mitzvah program to better meet the needs of our students. As we strive to meet these needs, you will notice changes this coming year. We anticipate further changes in the years to come as we continue to learn what continued on page 11 B’nai Mitzvah MAX LAWRENCE STEIGER Shabbat morning, June 6 Max attends Beachwood Middle School and enjoys Destination Imagination and sports.

He is currently on our Board of Trustees and is the Co-Chair of the Development Committee, as well as a dedicated 7 am minyan and Shabbat services attendee. In addition to his leadership roles at the synagogue, Barry is also on the Menorah Park Foundation Board and co-chairs their Endowment Committee, chairs the St. Petersburg Committee, sits on the Allocations and Strategic Planning Committee at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, serves on the National Board of American Friends of Magen David Adom, and is the Vice President of Jewish National Fund of Cleveland. JNF is honoring Barry with their Tree of Life Award this year. And yet somehow, he finds time to be the President of Kottler Metal Products, Inc., travel the globe and be a friend to all he meets! You are tremendously committed to serving the Cleveland and global communities through volunteerism and philanthropy. What is your motivation for doing so? Why is this work important to you? I am most blessed even on in my worst of days. I have learned that with privilege comes responsibility. I truly prefer to stay under the radar. Yet, I have also learned that we lead by example. I go through my days working these philanthropies, for this is my estate, not what I have, but what I can give of myself. These actions will be my legacy, to know that I will have left my mark on the world, and touched individuals in a positive way. It is our obligation to give back to our general community, our Jewish community and the global community. I have learned it is important for all to give of whatever their resources, as time commitments are as important as financial support. Your giving to the synagogue has ranged from a Courtyard Dedication, to including the shul in your estate plans, to sponsoring minyan breakfasts and kiddushes and so many other things. What motivates you to support the shul and why is it important to you to include the shul in your estate plans? I feel a sense of community with our synagogue. It has become an extended family to me, both in day to day life, as well as life cycle events. While our synagogue has been a blessing to me, it is my dream to pass this wonderful support system to future generations. Thank you, Barry, for all you do for our congregation, the Jewish community and the broader community.
