Extra copies of Rabbi WohlbergÊs popular Seder companion, „A TweetinÊ Pesach,‰ are available upon request. To request copies of this wonderful resource to enhance your familyÊs Seder, please stop by the Synagogue Office during regular weekday hours. Digital copies are also available on our website at www.bethtfiloh.com/ pesach.

Unfortunately, there are many people in our community who will not experience a Seder in its fullness simply because they have not been extended an invitation. These individuals may be college students, recent immigrants, newcomers to the area, those unable to travel to be with relatives, or otherwise unable to make a Seder for themselves. If you or someone you know would like to be either a Seder host or a Seder guest, please call the BT Pesach Hotline at 410-413-2290 or email mail@btfiloh.org, and we will be happy to make a „Seder match‰ for you.

SELLING YOUR CHAMETZ Because the Rabbis realized that disposing of Chametz completely would involve a considerable financial hardship for many, they devised a process whereby a Jew could sell his or her Chametz to a non-Jew before Pesach and repurchase it after the conclusion of the holiday. This sale has been structured so that the non-Jew will find it in his or her best interests to resell the Chametz after Pesach. Because this sale involves many technicalities, it has been traditional for the Rabbi of the congregation to act as the agent for those who sell their Chametz. Everyone who prepares his or her home for Pesach should arrange with the Rabbi to sell their Chametz. This is effectuated by signing a Statement of Authorization (Shtar HarshaÊah), which may be done anytime prior to midmorning on Monday, April 14. The authorization form below meets the Halachic requirements and should be delivered to the Congregation Office in order that Rabbi Wohlberg may receive it prior to Monday, April 14. If you own Chametz in several places, such as your home and a vacation home, include all of the addresses. It is customary to make a contribution in connection with the selling of Chametz. Please make your check payable to the „Beth Tfiloh Charity Fund‰ to assist the many needy individuals in the Baltimore area who will not be able to properly observe the Passover holiday without some financial assistance. Your generosity will be most appreciated. REMINDER - Please wait a brief period after the end of Passover before using your Chametz in order for Rabbi Wohlberg to have sufficient time to repurchase it on your behalf.

Get Ready . . . Here Comes SPOTLIGHT 2014! to encourage Jewish living. Certainly, the clergy are primary assets who invest so much of themselves in the welfare of the Congregation in general, and the members in particular.‰

This June, Motown is coming to BT. Human Nature puts an updated spin on MotownÊs classic hits each night, performing to sold-out audiences at Las VegasÊ „The Motown Show‰ at The Venetian. On June 11th, theyÊll bring the magic of Motown to Beth Tfiloh CongregationÊs Dahan Sanctuary at SPOTLIGHT 2014, Beth Tfiloh SchoolÊs major annual fundraiser benefiting the Scholarship Fund. This yearÊs gala fundraiser will honor Annette & Jerome Zimmerman, and is being co-chaired by Natalie & Jay Chason and Shelley & Bobby Kaye. The event helps provide Financial Aid for 40 percent of our students, and enables Beth Tfiloh to achieve its mission to provide a Jewish education to as many children as possible. Meet the Kayes The KayesÊ love of BT began 30 years ago. „We became members of BT in 1985 when our kids started Hebrew school,‰ remembers Shelley. „We were looking for a house in this neighborhood where I could walk to shul and got lucky enough to move right down the street.‰

The Kayes are passionate about supporting Jewish education, because that is the foundation of our communityÊs future. „Especially in light of the recent Pew survey, Jewish education is vital to preserving our community,‰ urges Shelley. „It used to be that Jewish education took place in the home. That doesnÊt happen as much anymore. This place⁄thereÊs no place better to do it.‰

SPOTLIGHT 2014 CO-CHAIRS, Shelley & Bobby Kaye

to Israel with Rabbi Wohlberg in 1991 sealed the deal. All our family simchas are attached to BT births, baby namings, brisses, bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings. The rabbis and Cantor are here for us in good times and bad.‰ „BT is a welcoming, truly Modern Orthodox shul,‰ says Shelley. „ItÊs a big place with room for everyone, no matter what their background or level of observance. It lives by the words „embracing all Jews,‰ and does so much

So when Rabbi Wohlberg and Mrs. Schorr asked them to co-chair SPOTLIGHT 2014, they couldnÊt say no! „We know the importance of Jewish education and want to make sure that this wonderful school is available to families who want it,‰ says Bobby. Their co-chairmanship is just one of the ways the Kayes demonstrate their commitment to BT; they are long-time supporters of BTÊs Annual Campaign and have also contributed to the Chazak Campaign, ensuring BTÊs viability for generations to come.

BobbyÊs family has even longer ties to Beth Tfiloh: his father attended HONORING Annette & Jerome Zimmerman CO-CHAIRS Natalie & Jay Chason and Shelley & Robert Kaye shul at the old BT on Garrison Boulevard, while his aunt was a graduate of one of the first Hebrew al school classes. nu ship n A lar Today, Bobby and ho nt Sc Eve Shelley are truly a part of the BT family⁄and BT is an important part of theirs.

„Through nearly 30 years of coming to BT on Shabbos and Yom Tov, weÊve formed a significant connection to the shul,‰ comments Bobby. „A trip

may you live until 120 jews traditionally extend birthday greetings by wishing that the celebrant live “until 120.” The age of 120 is significant because we are told in the Torah that Moses lived until the age of 120 and that his life was considered to be perfect and complete. Other great Jewish leaders had the merit of reaching the ripe age of 120, including Hillel and Rabbi Akivah. The giving of meaningful tzedakah is central to Judaism, and is a key element of living a life that is full and complete in the eyes of the Torah.
