RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES I hope you have been enjoying your summer – I know I have. It is a real privilege to be able to spend my remaining sabbatical time and enjoy vacation time in one of my favorite places in the world – Camp Ramah in Wisconsin. I write this column looking out over camp and seeing everyone participate in their peulat erev (evening program). Over the last few summers I have shared with you my thoughts and feelings about being up at Camp Ramah. This summer, I have been able to interact with a vast array of people throughout camp. As we have worked hard to add meaning to teffilot (prayers) and the overall spiritual feel of the camp, it has been very rewarding to have a direct impact on these areas. This week we celebrated the Bar Mitzvah of a young man in the Tikvah Program (children with learning, social and communication difficulties, including those who are higher functioning on the Autistic Spectrum). It was special for me because I helped this young man write a d’var Torah for the service. His hometown rabbi is also a dear friend (who couldn’t be at camp) and I was able to give the Bar Mitzvah boy a special message from his rabbi – a meaningful experience for all.

know that there are many wonderful camps that many of our children attend in Wisconsin and Michigan, however, if we really want to help create more Jewish experiences for our children, we should send them to a Jewish summer camp, not just a summer camp where there are Jews. And with that said, I truly believe with all of my heart that the optimal place to go is here Camp Ramah in Wisconsin. Indeed, there are other Jewish summer camps in our “area” but as Conservative Jews, this is our place. Camp Ramah also has a wonderful day camp located in Wheeling. Our numbers there have grown nicely and I hope that will feed into our overnight camp. I encourage everyone to look seriously at this wonderful Jewish day camp.

“But Rabbi, my kids are in class all year long and they don’t want to be in class or “learn” over the summer.” I cannot tell you how often I have heard that over the years. If one thinks that kids are sitting in a classroom with a pen and paper participating in a formal class - that could not be more wrong. Learning in “class” at Camp Ramah is about exploring one’s Judaism, understanding one’s place in the world and helping each other connect, not only to our tradition, but to the greater world. Who wouldn’t want that kind of learning? I know would. Admittedly, I am biased for many reasons. To start, I was a camp person all my life. But truth be told, it wasn’t Camp Ramah in Canada, it was another It is no secret I think it’s incumbent on Jewish summer camp. As we change, grow and all Conservative Rabbis to spend time at his or learn, we come to appreciate things in new ways her local Camp Ramah. This, after all, is the and there is no doubt that over the last fifteen camping arm of the Conservative Moveyears I have come to truly understand and apprement.

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Debbie Solomon

Get to Know our CBS President Debbie Solomon Q: How long have you been a member and what other leadership positions have you held at Beth Shalom?

but also us reaching out in new ways and possibly having more programming that is out in the community or out in people's homes.

Q: What’s something not many people know about you?

A: I have been a member since I was born! My parents were members and other than college and living in Baltimore for two years, we have always been members here.

I started on the Board of Trustees in 2006 and then I became Vice President of Membership in 2008. After that, I served as VP School, Administrative Secretary, VP Programming, and VP Youth. I also helped start what is now YFP-Young Family Programming many years ago.

Q: How would you say Beth Shalom has grown or changed the most over the last 10 years?

A: I feel we have had an increase in younger family membership and with that an increased number of involved young members. I also think that people seem to be very committed and care deeply about how they participate and the quality of activities here at CBS. I think we have streamlined and worked hard to work together and program together, utilizing resources across departments, which is key. The staff and lay leadership meld very well together, which helps Beth Shalom run very smoothly.

Q: How do you see CBS changing in the next 2 years and how do you see yourself being a part of that change?

A: I see us at the tip of the "S" curve. I feel we are poised for change and for growth. Not only are we working to secure our future, but also celebrating the 50 years of success we have already had. I think our next item of action is to continue to meet people where they are and work towards more community outreach to hit demographics that are smaller parts of our synagogue population.

A: I consider myself shy and introverted. I also USED to be a very good water skier, including slalom, trick skiing and barefooting. I love helping others in any way I can.

Q: What do you like to do in your personal time?

A: I am a book worm! I still watch Grey's Anatomy even though Gary (my husband) is convinced it went off the air years ago. I walk Ruby our dog, and any Deerfield people will tell you how they always see me walking my dog. I also work as a pediatric occupational therapist and a stylist for a women's clothing line.

Q: What is the best way for members to get involved at Beth Shalom that would make them feel more a part of the CBS community?

A: The best way to get involved is to come into the building. Come for a Shabbat service, or a ShabbaTONE service. Join us for of our fabulous Adult Education classes, or a Men’s Club or Sisterhood event. Even better yet, reach out to a CBS friend, or have a non-CBS friend join you and therefore enhance the experience by sharing it with others in your circle, and bring them into our circle. And lastly, don't hesitate to call in and ask for any guidance/ questions you may have. We will always do what we can to meet your needs!

You can reach Debbie at president@bethshalomnb.org

Q: What would you say is the best (or most unique thing) about Beth Shalom?

A: I think our combination of staff and lay leadership and working hand in hand is quite unique. One doesn't drive the other, merely we share the road and drive it side by side.

Q: What do you think Beth Shalom will look like in 10 years?

A: I see CBS as still very relevant in our congregant’s lives AUGUST 2017 • VOLUME 53 ISSUE 23

CANTOR’S NOTES Cantor Stoehr

In July I began my 30th year as Cantor of CBS. During that time I have been blessed to perform many weddings as well as a few renewal of vows for some longer tenured couples. As my wife Susan was speaking to one of my friends one day he used that term but I heard it as “renewal of vowels” and it started me thinking (often a dangerous activity).

The relationship we have with God is akin to a marriage. Each morning when we are to put on tefillin we say words of betrothal, much like a regular wedding ceremony, V’erastich li l’Olam, V’erastich li…. V’erastich li….

Et Adonai… “I betroth myself to you forever… and know that you are my God”. The relationship of God to Israel is described often in our liturgy and Biblical lore as that of a bride and groom, (in modern days equally inferring spouse and spouse) most notably in the words of Shir HaShirim, the Song of Songs.

The Ketubah, which the couple accepts as representative of the conditions and promises of their marriage, contains words of deep meaning. The words uttered between them under the Chuppah, and certainly for the years which follow, are sacred. The manner in which we communicate, one to the other, are indicative of the overall relationship between the two. How much more careful should we be of the words we use when speaking to God?

Take some time each day you open your prayer book to focus on some words, reconnect to their meaning and intentions and while renewing your vowels thereby renew your vows to God.

Come and enjoy our first ShabbaTONE of the season!

Join us for this special music-filled service. Followed, of course, by an Oneg of tasty treats!

We should begin to renew our vowels. We need to approach prayer with the most genuine of spirit and not only mean what we say, but say what we mean; that is, not just mumble words indistinguishably and leave it up to God to decipher, but take the time to utter the letters and vowels with Kavannah, intentional focus.

Case in point, two words in the daily Aleinu are most often mispronounced. (Page 183 in the blue Shabbat Prayer book, as one example, you can find the errant words on line 7, second and third words).

OOSH-CHEE-NAT / OO-ZOH which means, “(in) the Presence of His Power”. Mispronouncing the vowels of the words changes the meaning and doing so can bring us to offer hollow, silly or worse, sacrilegious concepts.

We need to be honorable in the way we speak to God, equally if not more so, than how we speak to our loved one.

50TH ANNIVERSARY 50 Years of CBS Past Presidents This special feature will review the history of Beth Shalom through the eyes of our Past Presidents throughout our 50th Anniversary Celebration Year

People worked morning. But after the meeting, everyone remained friends hard, but they had FUN. (as they went out to get coffee at 2:00 am). And in another Herb said the spirit at recurring theme, Joel said they always had fun!

CBS was “unbelievable!”

• A tradition starts: CBS held its first Blood Drive during Joel’s term, an event still going strong today.

Social Activities: CBS was a center for social activity. Large numbers of people attended New Year’s Eve parties. The Bazaar auction continued as a major event.

Support: The community helped CBS survive. Services were held at the Northbrook Church, Edens Theater, and Mill Run. The Northbrook Grammar School and High School Boards were very supportive, letting CBS use their facilities for meetings, Hebrew School classes, and High Holiday services. Sunset Foods was really good to the synagogue, supplying any and all food items requested.

Leonard Mason (1973-1975) Issues and Challenges • CBS’ identity: As the only Jewish institution in a growing Northbrook community, many families joined. But not everyone wanted to worship the same way. Leonard attended many meetings of factions, some wanting CBS to lean more orthodox, others more reform. But the original founders’ vision of a Conservative Synagogue survived.

• Finances: The checking account at Northbrook Trust and Savings often had a (sometimes large) negative balance. The bank was very supportive, although they sometimes asked Leonard and other board members to personally guarantee loans.

• Clergy Roles: The early Rabbi and Cantor had strong personalities and strong followings. But they didn’t always agree.

• Board of Trustees: The BOT also consisted of strong personalities who didn’t always agree. Meetings often went well past midnight. Leonard often felt less like the President and more like a referee.

Surprises and Satisfaction • Involvement: The Board and general membership was VERY involved and deeply committed. Lots of firsts during this time: Family Dinners, New Year’s Eve parties, fund-raising for Israel, prominent speakers (Menachem Begin, Abba Eben).

• CBS’ Voice: CBS spoke for the Jewish Community in Northbrook, whether at Village Board Meetings or Public Schools.

This feedback will allow Beth Shalom to integrate your voice when determining its direction; something that can only benefit our efforts to remain relevant, vital, and vibrant.

The Sukkah Terrace Has A New Look The new picnic tables, benches, flower pots and plantings on the CBS Sukkah Terrace are a gift from Joey Herman. Every item was designed, modified, and created by Joey for his Eagle Scout project. After six months of planning and raising the funds to cover all costs, Joey recruited volunteers who assisted him in the building, delivery and installation of the much-welcomed pieces.

“I feel a special tie to CBS because I attended Religious School and had my Bar Mitzvah here,” said Joey. “I came up with the items for the Sukkah Terrace with the help of my Eagle advisor Jim Murphy, CBS Executive Director Michael Garlin, and synagogue landscaper Gary Dubofsky.”

Joey is hoping to complete the final stages of the process and achieve the rank of Eagle Scout this summer.

Todah Rabah to Joey for all of his hard work to beautify the Sukkah Terrace!

SCHOOL Stacy Ybarra

Dear Congregation Beth Shalom Community,

Thank you for the warm welcome. I have enjoyed meeting many of you through emails, phone calls and in-person. It has been a very busy six weeks as I have been fine-tuning the curriculum, inventorying supplies, ordering supplies and text books and hiring additional staff. Your support and information sharing truly help in planning for the school year.

REGISTER NOW! Registration for Religious School is quick and easy. Register at mycbs.com. Your timely registration ensures that our staffing and materials are appropriate for the number of students. For help email us at mycbs@bethshalomnb.org.

I strongly believe in the power of community.

A warm, caring environment where individuals are appreciated and encouraged fosters life-long learning.

A strong curriculum and an abundance of materials do nothing if a student does not feel welcome and wanted. When we feel that others care, we understand that we are important and with that knowledge comes the security to try new things, challenge ourselves and even make mistakes. This is when learning occurs.

This year will be about creating community and welcoming others. It will take all of us, staff, parents and children working together to become a community where we feel safe enough to learn. A large congregation, like ours, provides so many opportunities. Through meeting many people we have the opportunity to find our niche and flourish. We can work in groups of two, work in small groups of three and four, have small classes of ten and come together for grade level learning and beyond. The combinations seem endless. As we look at an individual’s strengths and needs we have the ability to think creatively and mold the person’s experience to fit. By doing so we make learning possible and a reality.

I look forward to working with each of you in the upcoming year as we empower each other to succeed.

NOW HIRING 8th – 12th graders interested in working in the Religious School as madrichim (teaching assistants).

There are 4 shifts available: Sundays 8:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m., Sundays 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Tuesdays 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. and Tuesdays 6 pm to 8:05 p.m. As role models, all madrichim must participate in some type of Jewish education. Please apply at www.bit.do/Beth-Shalom-Madrichim

The Lost Letter by Jillian Cantor is an exceptional novel that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. The story begins in 1938 Grotsburg Austria. A young man named Kristoff has come to live and apprentice with famed stamp maker Frederick Faber. Kristoff quickly becomes part of the Faber family, even learning their Jewish customs. He falls in love with the eldest Faber daughter, fiery Elana. Kristallnacht brings an end to their idyllic life. Frederick is presumed dead, Elana’s mother has disappeared and Kristoff is forced to make stamps for the Germans. Because of his artistic skills, Kristoff is brought into the Jewish underground where he works alongside Elana. Together they risk their lives forging documents for Jews. While he continues to work for the Germans, Kristoff plans his escape. He insists that he and Elana falsify papers for themselves so they can immigrate to America together.

Kate Nelson lives in Los Angeles. It is 1989 and her life is a mess. She is going through a divorce and she has recently moved her father into an Alzheimer’s facility. She is thinking of selling her father’s massive stamp collection so she brings it to Benjamin, a stamp appraiser. Benjamin finds a remarkable WWII Austrian stamp placed on an old, sealed, love letter. An unusual detail on the stamp is an edelweiss-symbolizing proof of unusual daring. The mysterious missive sends Kate on a life-altering journey. Cantor’s plot is exciting and her characters are fascinating. The messages Cantor’s story sends will resonate with the reader. The Lost Letter deserves a five star stamp of approval.

Religious School Happenings: The Resource Center is an essential part of the Beth Shalom Religious School. The librarian meets with the Kindergarten through Gimel students on a regular basis. During class sessions, classroom curriculum is enriched through stories written by Jewish authors as well as material related to holidays, Israel and Jewish values. The students also have the opportunity to check out material from the library each week.

Students in Kindergarten through Second Grade and their families participate in a program called Very Important Person (V.I.P.) Reader. Parents can surprise their child by signing up and reading a book to the class.

Another wonderful program is the Visiting Author. With the support of the Eastern European Torah Project and Jewish Book Council, the students in the religious school have had the incredible opportunity to meet award winning children and young adult authors each year.

SISTERHOOD Leatte Gelfeld

It is always the summer that time seems to fly quicker than usual. I hope everyone is enjoying longer days, more time with family and friends and spending time outdoors. I have taken advantage of this relaxing time to start planning the upcoming year and I Iook forward to being your Sisterhood President for the next two years.

In mid-July, we enjoyed a movie review of Hidden Figures and I thank Maureen Gold for leading this annual summer event. We will kick off the year with our Opening Luncheon on September 12th with Arianna Afsar who plays Eliza Hamilton in the Chicago production of Hamilton: An American Musical. Several days later, we are having our Second Annual Great Round Challah Bake featuring our own Judy Wolkin. You should have received our mailing in July with the invitation to the luncheon and the sign up form for the Challah Bake, as well as information on our upcoming events.

Bring a friend with you to an event you’ve never attended or volunteer to help with something you’ve never done.

You will be very happy with the people you meet and the memories you make.

I know it will be a great year and could not be more excited about the amazing ladies on the board who give so much of themselves. Thank you to Beth Sher and all the past Sisterhood Presidents for their support, advice and constant willingness to lend a hand.

I encourage you to look at the calendar and come to something that sounds fun, interesting or even different.

MEN’S CLUB Dan Sher

A new bulletin with so many different faces. I am excited to be your new Men’s Club President for this year. Over the past several years, Men’s Club has evolved and changed many of our programs to try and include as many people as possible. We have co-sponsored events with Sisterhood, Adult Education, Social Action, the Youth Department, and Young Family Programming to try and bring our community together as one. This is something that I would like to continue to do in the coming year – and as you look at our programming calendar for this year, please find one or two events that are new to you and decide to come to them – and bring a friend. I look forward to meeting you at one of our events in the coming year.

Baseball Peter Kurz. Prior to the start of the 2017 World Baseball Classic, ESPN considered Team Israel, ranked 41st in the world, to be the biggest underdog in the tournament, referring to it as the "Jamaican bobsled team of the WBC". Israel's odds to win the WBC were 200-1, before the tournament began. Everyone watched with pride as Team Israel beat all three opposing teams in the first round to finish atop the pool, defeating South Korea (ranked # 3 in the world), Chinese Taipei (ranked # 4 in the world), and the Netherlands (ranked # 9 in the world). Israel became the first baseball team to go undefeated in the first round of the WBC’s main draw after entering the main draw by winning in a qualifying round proving once again the odds that Israel can overcome. Please join us on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. when Peter will share stories of the WBC and how baseball has grown in Israel, its future, and how with the help of JNF they are now building dedicated baseball fields in Israel.

In addition, something that I announced at our culminating dinner this year that I am extremely excited about is a Men’s Club trip to Israel. Rabbi Melman will be leading our first ever Men’s Club trip to Israel set for November 2018. I am excited about the opportunity to help bring men to experience Eretz Yisrael and be able to get to know members of the Congregation Beth Shalom family in a new way.

I’m sure you will hear me talk a lot more about this over the course of the year. We will be having an informational session on it this fall, but I know this was a lot of stuff to cover in my first article, but if you have any questions about it please feel free to reach out to me I’m excited to be sharing these new programs with you and hope that and I can give you additional information. you will join us throughout the year at these and many other new programs.

Finally, in keeping with the theme of Israel, I am thrilled to be able to announce our speaker for the Men’s Club opening dinner. We are thrilled to welcome the president of the Israel Association of
