RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES Many will remember, and most have seen, the iconic poster of Uncle Sam pointing his finger forward with the caption, “I Want You,” used to recruit for World War I. The message might have been about the Army however, I have that same image in mind when it comes to Congregation Beth Shalom. I Want You…Here! I recognize that not everyone is comfortable coming back in the building yet and I hope and pray that it will change soon. Many have a sense of longing for being in the building, being here in person, and I want to encourage everyone to come on in! We have followed protocols and made it as safe as possible to attend services, classes, and other programs. All that is missing is more people. I am thrilled to look out and see the 50-60 wonderful congregants who are here on Shabbat. I love that we have a minyan most mornings and evenings during the week. But I won’t lie. I long for the days when we had 125-150 congregants in the Kamensky Sanctuary on Shabbatot, even when there are no B’nai Mitzvah. I miss the days when we sat in one of the social halls or the Winter Garden and shared Torah and text with 30 or more people. I hope that Rabbi Melman
as we enter a new synagogue year and approach a new Jewish year, those who have been uncomfortable up to this point will see that discomfort ease or let us know ways that we can help in that effort. To make an obvious statement, the world has changed in the past two and a half years and so too has our synagogue. We have shared constantly the need to adapt and change and see a new path forward. Yes, change is hard, but it is necessary. When people or institutions don’t adapt and grow, we get stagnant and stale. We become irrelevant, and nobody wants that. There is much work to be done as we continue to define what a new and changing synagogue world looks like. It is an opportunity for Congregation Beth Shalom to redefine who we are, what we do and what our community represents. I am not talking about major change, I am referring to making sure that we adapt, within the parameters of Conservative Judaism, to meet the needs of each and every member of Beth Shalom. In order to determine what your needs are, I am going to host a series of listening groups over the next several months – think of them as a town hall. These groups will be organized by different age demographics and will be designed for me to hear what is on your mind. I want to know what we, as a community, and I, as your Rabbi, can do for you to truly make this a Jewish home for you. More information will follow so please keep an eye out. Hearing from you truly matters to me. My hope is to take our great congregation and make it even better – and I need you to make that happen! I look forward to seeing you over the coming months, sharing and learning together.

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Bob Spector
Shalom Chaverim, It is the 4th of July and I hope this summer season is being experienced with good health and is providing you many opportunities to spend quality time with friends and family. When I wrote my first six-month review last January it was 10 degrees during an 8-inch snowfall. Today it is 75 and sunny. Like this dramatic change in weather, my assessment of my second six months is much more optimistic. So here goes: A SIX-MONTH REVIEW: THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY, and the HORRIFIC.
Let’s start with the GOOD. After a temporary closure of our building in January, we re-opened and have remained open since then. Shabbat Kiddushim and many other community events such as Sisterhood, USY, Men’s Club, and Fundraising banquets have all returned since March. The high percentage of members who stay for our Kiddush lunches after Shabbat services points to how much our CBS community values being together socially. While new COVID-19 variants continue to infect our community members at a high rate (the BAD), our congregation has responded wonderfully to our masking and vaccination mandates (the GOOD) which has allowed us to keep our doors open and to provide us with a full complement of services, and educational and social opportunities. I apologize for the abrupt shift in my message. It is now 11:00 Monday morning. I am stricken with grief as I have just learned what has occurred in our neighboring community. Several dead, many injured - HORRIFIC. Do I continue writing as if my world has not been drastically altered? I think not. This feels like a before and after moment in which our lives have been forever changed given the proximity of this tragedy. I mourn for the families who have lost loved ones. Have any members of our CBS community been injured? What can I do to help? Is it ok to feel relief that my family is ok? Why does this continue to happen? So many questions, and no answers. Moments ago, I was feeling reflective upon some of the challenges we face as a CBS community. Now, that pales with the absolute despair I now feel as a member of the broader North Shore community.
By the time you are reading this message several weeks have passed. Hopefully the terrorist has been apprehended and we have a greater understanding as to how such hatred and evil intent can exist in such a young person. I also know that this will change nothing for the victims. The terrorist attack of July 4th has forever changed the Highland Park community. It is yet another reminder that we can only guardedly take for granted our health and happiness. I know you share my prayers that these families most effected by this tragedy will find the strength to heal. As for our challenges at Congregation Beth Shalom, whether they be financial or health related, I have the utmost confidence that we will work together to find solutions so we can remain the caring, kind, vibrant, and welcoming community for decades to comenot only for ourselves but for our neighbors for whenever they may need us to be there for them. As one of your community leaders, it will be a continued privilege for me in year two as your President to be part of making us a stronger and better community. L’Shalom, Bob

CANTOR’S NOTES Cantor Stoehr
Martha Postlewaite writes: “Create a clearing in the dense forest of your life”. The month of Elul is exactly for that purpose. It is time to reflect and focus on our innerself rather than worrying about being productive and always staying busy so as to achieve our monetary, academic or social goals. When do we ever really get a complete break from it all (and I hope you didn’t answer “when I die”). Yes, we as a People did respond to the commandments at Sinai with the words We Shall DO and We Shall Listen and maybe that’s where this busyness all got started, however the Commandments were directions for our spiritual selves so as to direct our physical selves.
Tara Brach writes in her book, The Sacred Pause that “...We are just completely habituated to activity... We are in a kind of doing-trance… and they talk about human-doings versus human-beings…”
‘Doing’ gives us a sense of control of our journey and makes us feel less the victim of happenstance (fate). The more we can do, the more we can control the happenings in our day. The more we can schedule and govern our day, the less chance we will be caught off guard by something unexpected. It doesn’t always work of course but it seems we are hedging our bets that our decisions for where we are at any point, or what we do, will allow us to be the captain of our own destiny. An important and healthy part of being a human-being is just being. Meditation, yoga or prayer time are wonderful ways to snatch some of that ‘being’ every day. Have you ever submerged yourself in a pool or ocean and enjoyed the dense silence that frees you from the cacophony of the world above the surface? Maybe for you it’s biking, playing an instrument or enjoying a another activity of your choice which is your escape. The month of Elul reminds us that now is the time to take what is rightfully yours, time to be. ‘Being’ is also a manner by which we surrender to God in our lives. It expresses that we believe God will be the shomer, guardian, over us even during the day such as while we sleep. As an aside I offer for you a lovely not well known song by Harpo Marx and Gerda Beilenson called Guardian Angels which reflects this sentiment of being watched over as we sleep. The opening lyrics read – Guardian angels around my bed joining me in my prayers. They hush the shadows when they dance about. They shoo away the bears… We often manifest what we think and put out into the world. Isn’t it worthy of a “sacred pause” in your day, or week, or this month, to explore yourself so as to emanate into the world positive and healthy energy? Judaism refers to this month’s process of self-examination as Cheshbon-HaNefesh, the “accounting of a soul”. Just like your computer, every so often you have to purge unnecessary data. So too, in your mind and soul, it is good to purge, to rid yourself of the clutter which impedes your essential self from growing. This is the time of year to do this, to be alone with yourself, to examine yourself, so that you can be your best self. If you allow yourself to clear a path through the ‘dense forest’ and embrace the ‘sacred pause’ you may find yourself finally in a state of just “being” the essential you that you wish. You are what you allow yourself to believe, so just Be. Shana Tova https://www.theshabbosproject.org/en/resources/the-shabbat-map (See points 13 - 24)

SISTERHOOD Jackie Zelkowitz
I hope you are having a fantastic summer! Our Sisterhood never stops! It has been a pleasure to meet so many prospective new members at Services Under the Sky. I look forward to welcoming them as new members of the synagogue and new members of Sisterhood. I also want to welcome some very important new members of our congregation family -- Rabbi Chapman, Jonathan and Elior. We are so excited to have you here with us and look forward to working together.
I really enjoyed seeing so many of our members come back to in-person attendance at our events and meetings. If pandemic levels allow it, I look to seeing you – both in-person and online – at our upcoming events. We will continue to offer all of our events via Zoom so that if you are ever uncomfortable being in close proximity to others, full participation is available. Everyone will have the ability to participate fully in our events.
I am so pleased to announce that Peggy Shapiro of StandWithUs will be joining us for our Opening Dinner on Wednesday, September 14th. StandWithUs is an international, non-partisan Israel education organization that inspires and educates people of all ages and backgrounds, challenges misinformation and fights antisemitism. It counters antisemitism and educates the public to make reasonable, informed conversations about Israel’s policies on college campuses and in communities possible. StandWithUs’ work is not contingent upon which party is in power in the US or Israel. Peggy Shapiro has dedicated her life to exposing and combating antisemitism. The daughter of Holocaust survivors, she was born in a Displaced Persons camp in Landsberg, Germany, the same town in which Adolph Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. As a retired college professor, she is keenly aware of the antisemitism epidemic on college campuses and its eerie similarity to conditions at universities in 1930s Europe. Thank you to Debbie Hamilton and Sara Weinstein, as well as their committee for all their hard work in planning for this wonderful evening. I would love for you to join us in Sisterhood. You should be receiving your membership packet soon. The packet has a membership interest form to complete. I hope to see you at all of the events that Sisterhood will be planning.
I am looking forward to working with the amazing women of Sisterhood and extremely excited to grow with each and every one of you.

DONATIONS MEN’S CLUB Steve Lessman
Dr. Andrew Wagner
Happy August to Congregation Beth Shalom! We hope that everyone is enjoying the last few days of Summer 2022. Your CoPresidents of the CBS Men’s Club, Steve Lessman and Andy Wagner, are hard at work preparing for another great year of fun and exciting events to enjoy together. We would like to welcome Rabbi David Chapman. We hope that everyone has an opportunity to meet Rabbi Chapman very soon as he settles in with his family in Northbrook. We wish them much success in the coming years at Congregation Beth Shalom.
Here are some dates to enter in your calendars for the upcoming year for the CBS Men’s Club.
Opening dinner: Wednesday, September 21, 2022 Steaks in the Sukkah featuring the Chicago Bears vs. the Washington Commanders: Thursday, October 13, 2022 Men’s Club and Sisterhood Event: Saturday, November 12, 2022 Lox Box Delivery: Sunday, March 12, 2023 Men’s Club Shabbat: April 15, 2023 Men’s Club Golf Outing: Thursday, June 15, 2023
Our bulletin tradition continues with introducing you to the newest and a returning member of the Men’s Club Executive Board. This month, we meet our VP of Membership, Neil Rosengard. Neil is the son of Larryz”l and Eileen Rosengard, who were extremely active members of CBS back in the 1970s and 1980s. Neil had his Bar Mitzvah at CBS in 1986, and has really never left Beth Shalom since those early days. Neil attended Glenbrook South High School and was involved in many activities including soccer, swimming, theater and choir and even did play-by-play sports announcing on the school radio station. Neil then became a proud Jayhawk attending the University of Kansas. He was an active member of ZBT and was known as “Norm!” as in the famous character from Cheers. Neil majored in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Political Science. After college, he worked for 5 years at the Mercantile Exchange, where his father worked and owned a successful brokerage business for many years. Later, Neil found his passion of working in sales and special events production, which he has done for more than 30 years. He has been with his current company, BBJ LaTavola, a specialty linen rental company for the last ten years as Director of Logistics. When Neil was 12 years old, he went to Camp Menominee in Wisconsin, which was an all-boys camp. The girls camp, Marimeta, was nearby, and they socialized very often. During that summer, he met one of those girls, Robyn Gaffen. Years later, college friends fixed them up and, 10 months later, they were engaged and soon married. Neil and Robyn have two children, Logan, a junior at Kansas, and a daughter, Madison, a senior at Glenbrook North and current CHUSY region Israel Affairs VP. One of Neil’s greatest Jewish memories include working with his dad and family during his early teen years helping with the Maot Chitim Passover deliveries to needy families. During those years, Neil remembers his father’s words to live by, “Help others who can’t help themselves.” Another great memory is going to Israel for the first time during the Men’s Club Israel trip in 2018. Seeing Israel for the first time and enjoying the beauty and tradition of our homeland was a life changing experience for Neil. A year after his Bar Mitzvah, at the age of 14, Larry passed away very suddenly, and the Rosengard family continues his legacy as a leader of Beth Shalom through Neil’s many years of volunteering in CBS and Men’s Club involvement. He has been on the Board of Trustees for over 15 years, acting as Membership VP and House VP as well as Men’s Club House VP. Neil continues his father’s tradition of holding the Torah during Kol Nidre. We thank Neil and Robyn, a past president of CBS Sisterhood and current Religious School VP, for their many years of involvement at CBS, and we look forward to a great year as he serves as VP of Membership of the CBS Men’s Club. We are planning on another great year with the CBS Men’s Club. We are ready to work hard and have fun giving back to CBS with our Executive Board and Board of Trustees including our 10 new members of the Board. Enjoy the rest of your summer. See you all soon. Steve and Andy

LIBRARY Tracy Safron Suggests Although The Midwife of Auschwitz is a daunting title, the story that author Anna Stuart tells is thoughtful and inspiring. The novel is based on fact and Stuart’s research provides interesting characters and plots. Ana is a Christian midwife living in Lodz, Poland with her husband and three adult sons. Ana has befriended many Jews and is especially fond of the young Jewish nurse Ester. Amid war and upheaval, Ester and Filip meet and fall deeply in love. Ana attends Ester’s marriage to Filip in November of 1939 and soon the newlyweds and their parents are forced to move into a small, shared space in the ghetto. Ana is arrested as a member of the resistance. She is about to be jailed when she voluntarily joins Ester and Ester’s ailing mother on a train to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Upon arrival, Ana presents her midwife documents and claims Ester as her assistant. Living conditions at Birkenau are atrocious and there are many sick and pregnant women for Ester and Ana to care for. Both women are devastated by the rules their superiors enforce regarding the babies they deliver. Only the blond-haired babies are allowed to live, and these newborns are stolen from their mothers and given to German families. How can there be hope among such despair? Ana and Ester never stop dreaming of their husbands and praying for a future with them. After a few months in the camp, it is obvious to Ana that Ester is pregnant. Ester endures thoughts of having her baby taken from her by devising a plan that could potentially reunite these mothers (and herself) with their abducted children. Ester and Ana never give up hope for returning to their loved ones. Remarkably, Ana successfully delivers over 3000 babies among the bleakest circumstances. The Midwife of Auschwitz is an incredible story of resilience, and it’s Stuart’s compassionate writing that makes this a remarkable novel.

It is lit on the Shabbat of the week of the yahrzeit, on the day of the yahrzeit and on the four festivals during the year when Yizkor is recited. Contact Maria Catezone by phone at 847-498-4100 x26 or email MCatezone@BethShalomNB.org for information or to order a plaque.
