Welcome Home!

A

synagogue is a Beit K’nesset, a House of Assembly. Here at Chizuk Amuno we desire to live Jewish life together as a community of families in our synagogue home.

Rabbi Ron Shulman

We want to do more than share space in a house, the building where we attend services, classes, and programs. We want to build relationships with each other through the many opportunities we have to gather in celebration and learning and at cultural and social events.

New Shabbat Summer Service

Friday, August 22 • 7:30 p.m.

Join us for an informal, lovely summer styled New Shabbat service, our popular and contemporary Friday night service with guitar music.

Come enjoy an upbeat Shabbat celebration of prayer, song, and insight.

We use a special prayer book that includes Hebrew transliteration and English reflection.

The music is engaging and accessible and the sound of our voices joining together in prayer is stirring. Everyone is welcome!

Our next New Shabbat service will take place on September 5, following our BBQ Shabbat Dinner.

Chizuk Amuno Congregation is an inclusive and devoted synagogue family.

As each of us encounter the ups and downs of our individual and family lives, through membership in our synagogue community we know we are part of a something larger. From our affiliation with Chizuk Amuno Congregation we gain inspiration, support, and home.

Belonging to our synagogue family personalizes for all of us what it means to participate in the life of the Jewish people and provides us with the resources we need to live compelling and thoughtful Jewish lives.

This coming synagogue year you’ll come to see that our many programs celebrate being “@Home with our synagogue family.” This month you will receive a Program Guide presenting new

and familiar opportunities to focus on relationships within our congregation and creative experiences that can bring us together.

At summer’s end, along with all of our clergy, educators, and staff members, I’ll look forward to welcoming you home.

When the Program Guide arrives, I hope you will look through its pages and explore our services, classes, programs, and activities for the coming year thinking of Chizuk Amuno Congregation as your synagogue family and planning to spend some time getting to know us better.

B’Shalom Rav,

Rabbi Ron Shulman

Join us for Summer Shul at Chizuk Amuno! Observing Tisha B’Av – The Ninth of Av Shabbat Mornings • 9:15 a.m. • August 2 and 9 Collective Jewish Grief: Then and Now Shabbat Morning Services are held in the Krieger Auditorium, creating an intimate and relaxed prayer environment.

Synagogue members lead our services, read Torah, and deliver Divrei Torah, supported by Rabbis Shulman and Wechsler, and Hazzan Perlman and Dr. Shualy.

During Summer Shul everyone is encouraged to dress casually and appropriately for Shabbat Services. Families and friends, adults and children of all ages are most welcome to share in the warm mood of Summer Shul.

Monday, August 4 • 8:15 p.m.

This summer the Jewish people found unity and struggle grieving the tragic deaths of three Israeli teens, Naftali Fraenkel z”l, Gilad Sha’ar z”l, and Eyal Yifrach z”l.

Subsequently, our mood and the situation in Israel became even more difficult. Before observing our people’s national day of mourning, we’ll reflect on what’s going on, what we’re feeling, and what lessons from the past can mean for today.

Tisha B’Av is our calendar’s date of mourning. At 8:30 p.m. our observance of Tisha B’Av will commence with prayer and reflection. During the Ma’ariv service, we will recite the Bible’s Book of Lamentations, Eikhah.

We will also gather in observance of Tisha B’Av on Tuesday morning, August 5 at 7 a.m. A special Minhah service will be held at 1 p.m. At this afternoon service we will wear our tallit and tefillin, ritual symbols that we will not use during our Shaharit service in expression of our mourning. Tisha B’Av is a full or partial day of fasting and introspection observed with emotion as we transform trauma into wisdom through ritual.

B’rukhim HaBa’im, Welcome Home Israel Travelers!

It is a great source of pride to the Congregation that so many members and students spend time in Israel. Particularly during these difficult times, we show our support and love for our homeland by visiting and letting ourselves get caught up in both the dream of Israel and its daily reality. Many members of our Chizuk Amuno community have taken trips to Israel this spring and summer. If you traveled to Israel, we hope you had a wonderful and inspiring time and we would like to hear all about your adventures. Please join us for Shabbat lunch on Saturday, August 30 following services. We will share stories and journeys and talk about how to integrate those experiences back home and be ambassadors for Israel. RSVP by Friday, August 22 to Rabbi Wechsler, dwechsler@chizukamuno.org.

We are delighted to welcome Rabbi Marci Jacobs Aronchick as our new Director of Teen and Family Engagement. Marci joins our synagogue as a parttime member of our staff this summer.

Lorraine Farber Blumberg, on the loss of

her sister, Esther Farber Dubin

We want to provide personal and direct support to our members’ religious and family needs. As our members’ desire life cycle celebrations or require religious observances, our rabbis make the following request: Please communicate directly with our rabbinic office to share the unfortunate news of hospitalization or illness. In the interest of protecting confidentiality, hospitals today do not share patients’ names with clergy. Please do not assume that someone else has communicated your news to the synagogue staff or office.

As well, please direct all inquiries about arranging for and scheduling personal milestones and ceremonies to the rabbinic office. Our rabbinic staff coordinates all life-cycle events in order to provide the most meaningful support and services possible for everyone who may call upon our clergy.

All of our clergy and ritual staff look forward to being of assistance as appropriate. They sincerely ask that our members also share news of their family or personal lives directly with the rabbinic office. This enables our clergy to best serve and respond to the experiences and circumstances of our synagogue family.

Thank you very much.

7th Annual Summer Camp for Adults

Summer camp is not just for kids.

It’s too much fun! Each year we enjoy a week of learning, great food, and excellent music.

This year’s theme, “When Dreams Come True in Music and Art,” was explored in sessions taught by Dr. Susan Vick and Ken Meltzer. Susan revealed the dreams of a selection of 18th and 19th century artists, including Auguste Renoir, Henri deToulouse Lautrec, Marc Chagall, Frida Kahlo, Diane Arbus, and Maurice Sendak. Ken presented the musical dreams of Richard Tucker, Giuseppe Verdi, and a poor villager in love with a beautiful woman in the comic opera, “l’elisir d’amore” (The Elixir of Love).

Seth Kibel (clarinet, saxophone, and flute) and Vladimir Fridman (guitar and vocals) played and sang songs from around the globe, including old favorites “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” and “When You Wish upon a Star.”

Campers were presented with a tote bag embossed with our camp name and logo as a memento of the week, another wonderful camping experience.
