NOVEMBER 2016 | Tishri -Cheshvan 5777 Engaging Jewish Life & Learning
RABBI’S COLUMN Looking around the sanctuaries on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, I noticed a popular accessory. The RABBI DEBI WECHSLER clothing people wore was different. The tallitot were different. The Kippot were different. Yet so many people seemed to have the exact same thing around their wrist. Hundreds of you wore Fitbits or other activity trackers. Even if you don’t personally wear one, you’ve surely seen them around. You or someone in your family probably even wears one because 1 in 5 of us has a wearable health and fitness device. Activity trackers have two main purposes: (1) to give you accurate data on your activity to keep you accountable and (2) to motivate and inspire you to do more. Some people swear by them and I see those people walking the neighborhood late at night, eyes on their wrists, huffing and puffing their way to 10,000 steps before the end of the day. As we spoke on the High Holidays about our choices, our behaviors, and the ways we express our Jewishness and saw all those Fitbits, I wondered if we could create a Jewish activity tracker. It could be called the “Yidbit” from the Yiddish slang term for Jewish. A Yidbit would be used to track all the Jewish things that we would do in the course of a day, week, month, and year.

Carlebach Shabbat & Communal Dinner Friday, November 11, 6:00 p.m. Shabbat Dinner, Conversation & Song - 7:15 p.m.
In special celebration we are excited to welcome Neshama Carlebach, daughter of the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, a master and popular composer of Jewish melodies for prayer and song. Neshama Carlebach will join Hazzan Perlman and Rabbi Shulman in leading our Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat Service with joyous melodies and song as we rejoice in spirit, high energy, and a spiritual beginning to Shabbat. Like her father, Neshama's talent and charisma captivate and endear her to people of all ages and backgrounds. She has performed and taught in cities worldwide, has sung on the Broadway stage, and has sold more than one million records.

“The Middle East and the New President Fireworks Ahead?”
Mr. Mark Lavie Mideast Correspondent for the Associated Press and Major News Networks Tuesday, November 15, 7:30 p.m. Like it or not, the next President will have to focus on the volatile Middle East. Once we know who the President is, what can we expect? What is the view from inside Israel about our new President and the complicated issues of the Middle East? We ask a 40 year veteran of covering the news from inside Israel and the Arab world to help answer our questions.

It’s a Mitzvah Fair Sun. Nov., 6 at 11 a.m. Every other year, Chizuk Amuno fifth and sixth graders and their parents are invited to learn about and participate in the wide variety of mitzvah opportunities in our Baltimore community. Students will meet with mitzvah heroes, engage in mitzvah projects and start thinking about how acts of lovingkindness can be a part of their Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations.
Graduate Adult Bat Mitzvah With Rabbi Debi Wechsler Tuesdays, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. Nov. 15 - Dec. 20, 2016 This class is geared towards women who have completed the Adult Bat Mitzvah program.

Familiar Prayers in a New Siddur With Rabbi Ron Shulman Weekly on Tuesdays 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. Beginning November 1 Become more familiar with the formal prayer texts and personal prayer in our new Siddur as we learn the what, why, and how of our Jewish prayer tradition.
From Page 1
You would read a Jewish book and enter the title into your Yidbit. You would light Shabbat candles and note the date in your Yidbit. You would have a Jewish conversation and record the time in your Yidbit. You would deliver food to the soup kitchen and count the mitzvah in your Yidbit. You would pay a shiva call, say a blessing over bread, deliver Purim treats to a neighbor, bake challah, attend services at a synagogue and each time the data would be recorded by your Yidbit. Imagine how edifying it would be to have accurate data on our Jewish engagement. We do mitzvot every day but in the busy rush of life we do not always take the time to note those mitzvot and stay accountable to the promises we make to God and ourselves. A Yidbit would help us see the arc of our Jewish lives and the myriad ways we have engaged with our Jewishness over the year. The second and perhaps more powerful impact a Yidbit might have would be its ability to motivate us to make Jewish activity a greater part of our life. What if we looked at our Yidbit when we got home from the office in the evening and realized that we were only at 16 Jewish steps? We might be inspired to say hamotzi over our dinner and make an online donation to get up to the magic number of 18 Jewish steps a day. We might be motivated to call a parent, study a Jewish text, or take a walk outside to care for our body. Even without a Yidbit (though if any inventors out there want to give it a try, I’m in!) let us be inspired this year to see how our Jewish activities measure up and take our Jewish engagement to the next level.

Sisterhood Awards Grants to Schools and Congregation Our appreciation to our Sisterhood for their recent grants to our schools and congregation. Sisterhood President, Dixie Leikach, presented a check to Jason Blavatt at a recent Board of Trustees meeting for $25,250 on behalf of the Sisterhood. The extraordinary Sisterhood support will benefit each of our schools and the congregation in meaningful ways. Funds will be used for new computers in our preschool classrooms, KSDS Scholarships, Camp Ramah scholarships, B’nei Mitzvah gifts, Netivon graduation gifts, educational enrichment in each school, and our Selihot, Sukkot, Purim, and Shavuot holidays. We also thank the Sisterhood for their sponsorship of our special Carlebach Shabbat celebration on November 11th featuring Neshama Carlebach, daughter of the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach known for his Jewish melodies for prayer and song. Our appreciation to the Sisterhood leadership and all of our Sisterhood members. Additional thanks to all who shop at our Sisterhood Judaica Store where proceeds go towards our congregation, schools, and community.
Small Watershed Action Project Begins Postponed so it did not interfere with the new playground project, our Small Watershed Action Project announced in the spring is underway. This exciting project, led by Ann Betten and a small committee, will enhance our property, have an impact on our environment, and will provide an educational setting for our children. Through the efforts of the Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake, Baltimore County, and Bluewater Baltimore, the State of Maryland Department of Natural Resources will be funding the project that will serve as a model for projects by other religious institutions. Two areas on our exterior have been designed to serve as both bioretention systems during heavy rainfall and as educational and practical enhancements to our property. Through a design by the engineering firm Colbert, Matz, Rosenfelt working with landscape architect Jean Mellott, and developed with our school educators, there will be a newly created landscaping and water drainage plan in the area of the parking lot known to many as “Lake Chizzy” which currently experiences water overflow in the parking area near the administration entrance. A second area of the plan creates an exciting environmental educational setting at the entrance of the Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center. Denali Construction Co., Inc. is the contractor for the project. All construction areas will be fenced off for the safety of our children and others, but please take care when driving in the parking lot near the work areas. Thank you, in advance, for reminding your children to avoid the work areas during the construction period. Our thanks to Ann Betten and her committee (Allen Brown, Stuart Kaplow, Arnie Wallenstein, Howard Brill), the House & Grounds Committee, our school heads, staff, and the countless hours contributed pro-bono by our engineers Dick Matz and Tom Hewitt.

MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
It Takes a Community to Celebrate the Holidays From the evening of Selihot, through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and concluding with Sukkot and Simhat Torah, it takes scores of volunteers and staff members dedicating hundreds of hours, to prepare for and welcome thousands of members and guests during the High Holy Day Season. For nearly 150 years, Chizuk Amuno Congregation has provided beautiful services, memorable liturgy, and meaningful sermons throughout the holiday season for our congregation and community.

We could not complete all of the preparations, tasks, and responsibilities without the help of…….

Honor our Staff - Staff Holiday Gift Fund Chizuk Amuno Congregation and Schools is fortunate to have a wonderful, dedicated maintenance, clerical, administrative, and support staff, all of whom ensure that the synagogue and schools run as needed. Our staff serves our members, students, officers, faculty, committees, schools, and clergy in achieving our mission and goals. The synagogue, our members, our auxiliary groups, our staff, and others would like to demonstrate our appreciation to the staff through a small December holiday financial gift. The synagogue has a policy of “no tipping” individual staff members following Page 4
events or programs. Some staff members are more visible than others, but it takes all of them to prepare. In lieu of tipping, the congregation has created a Staff Holiday Gift Fund, which is divided equally among the support staff every December. We appreciate those who contribute to the holiday gift fund to our maintenance and support staff members in honor of their good work during the High Holy Days and throughout the year. We are blessed to have staff members with longevity and dedication. You are invited to join us in acknowledging these dedicated support staff members. Contributions to the Staff Holiday Gift Fund may be sent to the synagogue office. The holiday gift includes a listing of each person who contributed. Thanks for your thoughtful support.

What a difference it made having a whole month to prepare our minds and hearts for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Each Tuesday night in September, adult learners spent time anticipating the holidays in study. While some reviewed their Hebrew with Shuli Raffel, still others studied the themes of the Mahzor with Rabbi Shulman, the Biblical stories with Rabbi Zaiman, the Holiday table with Rabbi Seltzer, the meaning of the holidays for children with Rabbi Moshe, Forgiveness with Rabbi Wechsler and music with Hazzan Perlman. Students appreciated that they were better able to experience the High Holidays with weeks of preparation behind them. Thank you to all who taught and learned with us in Elul.

ROSENBLOOM RELIGIOUS SCHOOL The Arts at Rosenbloom Religious School At Rosenbloom Religious School, the arts are essential tools for helping our students uncover the rich and varied meanings and images of our tradition. On Sunday mornings, you will see our students creating works of art in the art room with Brina Pintzuk, learning the steps to modern Israeli dances in the Stulman Auditorium with Yaeli Lowenberg, and acting out a Bible or Holiday story in the music room with Katherine Lyons. In the month of Tishrei, our 1st grade students created a collaborative mural of creation, our 2nd grade students explored the symbols of Rosh Hashanah, our 3rd grade students portrayed the ritual of Tashlish, and our 4th grade students used shapes and patterns to learn the notes of the shofar. Other students became the characters in the Book of Jonah as they acted out Jonah's adventure. (learning to never judge a person until you stand in their shoes!) All of our students are learning the latest Israeli dances to move and groove for their special guests on Grandparent's/Special Friends day on Sunday, November 20. This year, Rosenbloom Religious School welcomes Dr. Neil Rubin, who will introduce our students to various personalities on the Hendler Time-Line. He will portray various characters from King David to Hayim Solomon to place our students in different periods of Jewish history. Live theater is a powerful, often unforgettable learning tool. In addition to engaging students with their Judaic curriculum, the arts can develop essential skills like problem-solving, collaboration, communication, self-confidence, imagination and creativity. But most importantly, the arts make education fun!
