RABBI’S COLUMN As I embrace the opportunity to serve as your Transitional Senior Rabbi over the next year, I am RABBI DEBI WECHSLER reaching out to each of you for support and assistance. Many of you have been so kind as to reach out to me and offer to be helpful in any way I, and the congregation, might need. I am very grateful for those offers and look forward to calling on you to share your special talents, your leadership, your ideas, and your presence. If you were to ask what our greatest need is right now I would say: You. This is your synagogue.

Our greatest need is for you to work on behalf of our beloved community. You have already committed yourself to being of benefit to the community by joining, by sending your children here to receive a Jewish education, and by being present. I am asking you to take that one step further and be an active, passionate, joyful, positive member of our Chizuk Amuno community. We need you to be a worker bee. Call or email me to say that you would like to help with synagogue or school programming.

Offer to call members to wish them Happy New Year. Volunteer to host new members for Shabbat dinner.

Organize a group of friends to plan a synagogue social event. Our needs are unlimited but luckily, the power and strength of our community is as well.

The other major area in which I require your assistance is this - We are a large congregation and I want to be there for each of you when needed. However, I require your help to do this. I ask you to please contact me by phone, email or in person whenever you have a situation that requires my help or attention or if you know of another member of our Chizuk Amuno community that could use some support. I will be my own voice, but I am asking you to be my extended eyes and ears. With your help I can address so many more pastoral membership issues that arise through the year.

Next month in both the HaHodesh and the upcoming Program Guide I’ll share my thoughts about the coming year, especially plans and programs ahead.

I look forward to partnering with you in the year ahead.

Our Sanctuary is equipped with an audio assistance system to aid in hearing our services. Please see an usher or security guard for a headset.

Shabbat at camp has a certain feeling, a ruach (spirit) that comes from being out in nature, surrounded by friends, and singing together. On June 30th we brought some of that ruach to Chizuk Amuno as we enjoyed a camp style Shabbat to kick off our summer. Rabbi Wechsler and Leslie Pomerantz led us in a Shabbat walk out to the Rosenbloom Amphitheater and then in welcoming Shabbat with song, prayer, and reflection.

Staff longevity has a major impact on the culture, success, and accomplishments of any organization. Chizuk Amuno Congregation and Schools is blessed to have many longterm staff members. At the end of each year, we honor staff members celebrating their 10th, 18th, 25th, and 36th anniversaries with the congregation and schools at our annual Summer Staff Luncheon.

Our synagogue staff members celebrating anniversaries include Dawn Reznik and Annie Hood for 10 years, Cheryl Snyderman and Rabbi Debi Wechsler for 18 years, and Wade Smith approaching 25 years. (Winston Williams still hold the longevity lead beginning his 44th year with the congregation.

Our schools have numerous faculty and staff members celebrating anniversaries including Joe Vrzalik and Nissa Weinberg celebrating 10 years and a large group celebrating 18 years including Nancy Muser, Mike Foxwell, Howard Richmond, Amanda Levine, Vered Nusinov, Yael Turkel and Orly Purrio, and celebrating 25 years, Bracha Lang and Tzeira Minka.

Representing a remarkable 180 years of service to our schools, we wish the following a long, healthy, and fulfilling retirement: Daniela Eyal, Brina Pintzuk, Rita Plaut, Michal Reichman, and Dafna Tasch.

Chizuk Amuno Congregation & Schools is indeed blessed to have long-term, dedicated staff and family members.

Annual Appeal Campaign

We are looking forward to two upcoming events at the Rosenbloom Amphitheater.

Friday, September 1, 6 p.m.

Musical Shabbat with Hazzan Perlman Saturday September 9 Camp Havdalah with S’mores and Singing with Sam our song leader

Each year, as the High Holy Days approach, we take time to count our blessings, review the year that is coming to a close, and join in prayer with our community for a happy, healthy, and prosperous year ahead. That is what we should be doing on our sacred space. And so, once again, we will not be asking you for your annual appeal gift to our synagogue from the pulpit during our prayers. We hope, instead, we will be able to just say “thank you,” for the generous response to our campaign requests which you will receive this summer.

We are truly blessed with the extraordinary generosity of so many of our members in response to our annual appeal, and, for this support without which we simply could not continue, we are extremely grateful.

Only two more weeks of Summer Shul left. Here is what one congregant wrote after the first week, “What a beautiful morning, the warmth, the closeness, the delightful young woman who gave the sermon and the beautiful singing made this morning the best. Can we do this forever!?”

This year, as we rebuild and renew our vision, and add new leadership to our synagogue community, I hope we can count on each and every one of you! Every single gift matters! Every single member of Chizuk Amuno, every parent or grandparent of a child in one of our schools, every single one of us matters, and every single dollar we contribute makes a difference! Please join us in our goal to reach 100% participation!

Come join us for these very special summer services in the Krieger Auditorium, August 5 and 12 at 9:15 a.m.

CAMP VISITING DAY

On Thursday, June 29th, Dr. Blum and Rabbi Seltzer visited Camp Ramah in the Poconos. On the long drive up to camp, Rabbi Seltzer reflected on his own experience as a staff member and how much Ramah had contributed to his development as a Jew. Rabbi Seltzer had the opportunity to develop leadership and programming skills which have become invaluable in his work in Jewish education today.

Ramah provided him with the opportunity to work, to learn, and to form relationships with rabbis, scholars, Jewish artists, Israelis, as well as other peers who shared his interests. Even today, some of his closest friends date back to his Ramah friends. Like Tony award winner Ben Platt (starring in Dear Evan Hansen) and Cassie Levy (who will appear as Elsa in Frozen on Broadway), Ramah introduced Rabbi Seltzer to some of his favorite Hebrew songs. Once Dr. Blum and Rabbi Seltzer arrived at Camp, they saw their students enjoying their various activities. It didn't take long to feel like camp counselor again: bread zooming across the table, the familiar drone of Hebrew announcements, swim instruction, rehearsals for the Hebrew play, and hanging out with friends. These Ramah campers were just beginning their summer. They have so much to look forward to and they will have so much to look back on: Personal growth, Jewish knowledge and practice, newly acquired skills and talents, strong friendships and an allegiance to Ramah that will last throughout their lives.

Achshav Stands For Israel On Sunday, June 4, our 9th grade Achshav students traveled to New York City to join the thousands of people who showed their support for Israel during the annual Celebrate Israel Parade. This year’s theme was “Celebrate Israel All Together.”

The parade also recognized 50 years of the reunification of Jerusalem. Participating in the Israel Parade has become an Achshav tradition. In fact, the parade becomes a marker for the students to begin counting down to their class trip to Israel which takes place during the winter vacation of their 10th grade year. Achshav student Danielle Garten collaborated with her classmates to design an original T-shirt announcing the trip which the students wore with pride as they danced in the streets demonstrating their love and support for Israel. The back of the T-shirt read: Adventure Awaits!

Coming soon: December 2017. As the students left the parade, one of them enthusiastically exclaimed, “only 200 more days till we leave for Israel!”

TEN Key Benefits of Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center

1. You become naturally immersed in an amazing Jewish community 2. We are all about honing and molding the holistic child, which will eventually form the basis of their lifelong journey: building a strong foundation for a child’s emotional, social, physical, academic and spiritual development.

3. We take advantage of the children being “learning sponges”; every new experience, every new word they learn, every new activity they are exposed to, is an investment in their future.

4. Socialization with people other than your family in a safe environment is an essential part of development. We understand that it is important to introduce children to other children and support their transition into their own friendship groups.

5. Our trained early childhood professionals have the children’s best interests at heart when teaching the concept of Cooperation: learning how to share, collaborate and persevere.

6. Patience: Every day as adults, we encounter situations where our patience is tested. We give the children opportunities to be involved in an abundance of social experiences, where they can explore and practice.

Children are learning to develop their patience and learn to wait for their turn by playing games, waiting in line for the monkey bars, sharing a toy or even the teacher and a friend.

7. Enthusiasm for Lifelong Learning: Activities and lessons are taught in a fun and exciting way that encourages children to be effective learners. Love of learning takes root in preschool.

8. Resilience: We help create a consistent, secure and fair social environment with clear expectations and predictable consequences. Children can develop skills in managing themselves and their emotions.

9. Parents will always be the most important influence on your child’s early years, but introducing them to Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center demonstrates that you value their learning and education. We are role models!

10. Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center is so much more than playing. While the basic educational benefits of preschool are tangible, the advances your children will achieve towards becoming well-rounded individuals are invaluable.

Michelle Gold Director of Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center of Chizuk Amuno Congregation Don’t let your child miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity!

KRIEGER SCHECHTER DAY SCHOOL ANNOUNCES THE Abramoff MakerSpace and Collaboratory Krieger Schechter Day School is excited to announce the creation of the Abramoff MakerSpace and Collaboratory which will be completed by the start of school, August 29th.

Shabbat, August 26 / 4 ELUL In Honor Of: The Bar Mitzvah of Ezra Ross Medina, by his parents, Jaclyn Ross and Eliezer Medina, and his grandparents, Ruth & Jerome Ross and Nereida & Pedro Medina.

Investing in Israel bonds sends a message – a statement that you support a nation that: • Educates, builds, and innovates.

• Lives by democracy, liberty and human rights/freedoms for all people.

• Produces technologies and innovations that connect, feed, and heal the world (last year The Times of Israel reported, “more than one out of every four of the medicines, treatments and technologies in use today have Israeli roots).”

Every investment no matter the amount declares: • Israel is our homeland to develop, visit and protect.

• Israel is our heritage, purpose, identity and responsibility.

Investment options begin at $100. Current terms range from 2-10 years, all bonds are issued in book-entry form (no certificates) and redemption checks are mailed automatically at maturity.

Gift bonds are available too and perfect for simchas or other occasions ($36, $54, $72, $90 – available only online.) You can do a double mitzvah by supporting your synagogue or other Jewish organization

with an Israel bond and even fulfill your Federation or Jewish Agency pledge with an Israel bond.

The strength of the Israel Bonds campaign is derived in part from the synagogue’s appeals and Sheila Sandbank will again be chairing the Israel Bonds/Chizuk Amuno Congregation appeal.

Again this year: Four Matching Partners Demonstrate Their Support for Israel.

Bay Bank and The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore are joined again by The Haron Dahan Foundation and Sandra R. & Malcolm C. Berman, as they continue the 100% match on all Israel Bond investments made during the High Holy Days appeals.
