From the

Rabbi Carl Wolkin

Rabbi's Desk

By the time you read this, I will have been back for a month from the 2-month Sabbatical the congregation was kind enough to grant me in my final year. I am most grateful, it was wonderful.

Judy and I had the opportunity to experience two very different sides of Jewish life worldwide. We spent a week in Morocco on a JUF Rabbinic Mission to see this unusual country and visit its Jewish community, spread thinly across a Muslim country. One of our guides quipped at one point that Morocco is the only Muslim country with a Bet Din – a Jewish court.

The synagogues are beautiful, in the North African Sephardi tradition. The kosher food served to us in either a Jewish club or private homes (there were 25 of us) was delicious and, of course, different – chicken, yes, gefilte fish, no, and often, a couscous delight served in a tagine. While there is anti-Semitism, mostly Jews live in peace in a monarchy where the King’s picture is everywhere. The sad side is that the Jewish population of Morocco is smaller today than the membership of our synagogue.

While the Jewish population of Morocco is ancient, beginning in 1956 when Morocco became independent from France, Jews began to leave. The population, which was then 250 - 300,000 is, today, 2,500 – 3,000. While the present Jewish community clings tenaciously to its Judaism through its remaining synagogues, schools and social service agencies, which continue to receive international support from the JDC, the future is questionable. It is worse in other nearby Muslim countries like Yemen, but one wonders whether, in the not too distant future, there will be any Jews in North Africa.

Vastly different and more reassuring was our experience at Limmud NY, where we spent three full days with our children, David and Keeli, engaged in Jewish learning among 850 fellow Jews of all ages. Limmud is a worldwide phenomenon of Jewish communal learning. Hundreds of courses in history, cooking, text study, etc. went on from early morning to late at night. It all started in the UK 30 years ago and today, in England, the annual gathering brings 2,500 – 3,000 Jews.

Now, I know you cannot compare what Moroccan Jews can do to what can take place in the New York area and in the UK, where there are sizeable Jewish populations. So, what is the take-away here? One reality is that we have to do our best to support Jewish life, both for the few and the many. There are some Limmuds, annually, in very small Jewish communities. Another lesson, which will put me at odds with some, is to say that while it is clearly time for Jews to leave a country like Yemen, it is far too soon to encourage all Jews to leave France or Denmark for Israel. Finally, what Judy and I learned in both of our experiences, which took place amidst some very painful moments for our fellow Jews in other countries, is that “Am Yisrael Chai,” the Jewish people live and always will live, no matter what, and we must support all of our fellow Jews, whether in large and growing Rabbi Wolkin’s communities or small and diminishing communities, whether in the diaspora or Retirement Celebration in Israel. Our support must continue until June 28, 2015 the last mezuzah is removed, sad as it may be. Bottom line of all our travels – a (Look for your invitation the global perspective which strengthens beginning of May) commitment as it broadens understanding.

Cantor’s Notes

Cantor Steve

H.U.G.S. is one of the most innovative programs in which Beth Shalom has engaged in our nearly 50 year history.

Healthy Understanding Growing Spaces is a ‘ritual respite’ for families with members who have some manner of DIFFabilities. So very often families found outlets for their family member in realms of education, athletics, summer camping and the like but there was no such outlet in synagogue life. When we found out about this at CBS we took action.

Four years ago a committee was formed to structure holiday services/programs for these families. Some were members of CBS and others were community families looking for an oasis in the barren sands of organized religious life. HUGS was the answer to their needs. Today we have found our HUGS program being the catalyst for other congregations to engage in similar programming.

We have partnered with four other congregations who now have combined under the HUGS label. I am proud to say that congregations of Reform and Conservative congregations, as well as community organizations have reached out to us for our direction in planning for the future. We have also been working with JUF and Encompass (an arm of JCFS) to create an overall umbrella program for all such special needs groups. There is a new synagogue inclusion research and planning initiative that we shall participate in so as to widen the breadth of and success in the work HUGS and other such groups can accomplish.

Beth Shalom is so fully invested in this manner of serving our congregational families and wider community that we are establishing a HUGS FUND in our congregation. The funds collected will be used for programming materials, publicity, and associated costs of running one-of-a-kind programming. As well funds may be directed to other elements of making CBS the most welcoming community and accessible building. If you know of anyone who may wish to attach their name to this fund by virtue of an endowment gift, please contact me. As February is Jewish Disabilities Awareness Month across the globe we are discussing the possibility of designating February, in the future, as HUGS Fund month.

I know we shall be exponentially more successful in the future as we move forward with this manner of social action and menschlichkeit. With your periodic help of donations we can work to make every holiday one where everyone, despite any perceived barriers, can enjoy a HUGSameach.

WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO ADD MEMBERS TO OUR HUGS COMMITTEE SO IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN VOLUNTEERING PLEASE COME AND TALK TO ME OR ANY OF OUR HUGS TEAM MEMBERS.

A hometown boy returns! For the first time ever at CBS on April 17th – Billy Kaplan at a very special ShabbaTONEdDown! Followed, of course, by an Oneg of tasty treats!

Congregation President Glen Roter

As April begins, we have a convergence of holidays that we don’t see every year. The first Seder of Passover occurs on Good Friday and the second full day of our holiday actually falls on Easter. I can imagine way back when that the way the holidays fall this year are similar to those long ago times. As we sit around our holiday table and recall the story of Passover, we should also mention how the holidays coincide. Passover is a time to celebrate with family and friends and I hope that this holiday is good for all of you.

Celebrating Passover may sound like an oxymoron, but having the Jewish people leave Egypt is something that we should all rejoice in.

Sure we had to put up with unleavened bread and wandering for years, but it all paid off as we were led to the Promised Land. Remember how thankful our people were then and that we should be thankful now. I actually enjoy Passover, the different foods, getting together with family and friends and changing our way of eating for an entire 8 days. Sure it’s a lot of work, but we have our family customs and foods and this is the time of the year when we get to enjoy them. From Jill’s Grandmother’s apple cake to my Grandmother’s bubala, Passover is a time filled with memories of the past and the promise of a wonderful future.

Meet your Executive Board

This month I would like you to meet one of our Men’s Club Co-Presidents, Larry Grossman. Larry and Ellen, a former Sisterhood President, recently celebrated their 38th anniversary. They have 3 children, all of whom are married, and 2 grandchildren. Coming from the north, Larry grew up in Milwaukee, attended the famous Nicolet High School and went on to the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Of course he bleeds red, except during football season when the Packers are playing. Larry grew up at a reform synagogue, Emanu-El B’ne Jeshurun in the northern suburbs of Milwaukee.

Larry has been in the media business for years, having been President and CEO of Media Encounters for the past 14 of them.

The look and feel of the Men’s Club publicity can be credited to his watchful eye. He has previously served as our Ritual Vice-President and has taken Talmud classes at CBS for over 15 years. When he’s not rooting for his Wisconsin teams, he enjoys being around his extended family and being with his grandchildren.

KERUV CORNER KERUV: Welcoming Interfaith Families BOB SPECTOR Shalom Chaverim,

What a wonderful time of the year- spring has finally arrived and Passover is just around the corner. Passover is a holiday that so poignantly reminds us of how our faith in God and ourselves can overcome attempts at the oppression and destruction of our people. Unfortunately, we cannot nor should we take our religious freedom for granted. As I recall a class my daughter took a couple of years ago I am reminded of that fragile line between religious tolerance and intolerance in our culture. She was taking an amazing two semester world religions class that explores both eastern and western religions. At one point in the semester the class was focusing on Judaism. There were three Jewish children in a class of twenty five students with my daughter being the most passionate about Judaism of the three. The students were required to read a book by Harold Kushner who is an incredible and passionate author as he expresses the wonders of Judaism and being Jewish. Unfortunately, the students’ negative responses to this book suggested her teacher may have underestimated how easily intolerance and hostility can be activated. They perceived the author as too arrogant, self-serving and biased because he dared to passionately express his beliefs in the virtues of Judaism.

Because many of the students felt ‘put down’ or ‘less then’, one of the class discussions regressed to the point where my daughter and her Jewish classmates felt the need to be the defenders of their faith. However, her reaction was interesting. She was frustrated and angry with her non-Jewish classmates over what she felt were narrow minded reactions, but she was particularly disappointed in the way her two Jewish classmates contributed to the discussion. She felt they were too passive in their defense of Judaism.

While this classroom scene is quite poignant (on many levels), one may ask what does this story have to do with Keruv and our interfaith initiative? It does because we tend to judge ourselves and our own more critically than we do outsiders. We expect more of ourselves as a Jewish community which in and of itself can be a good thing. However, on issues that can challenge the fabric of our beliefs such as intermarriage we have a history of rushing to judgment. It is especially critical in today’s political climate that we are as tolerant of ourselves as a community as we expect of others to be toward us and our fellow Jews. Every year, thousands of Jews are making relationship decisions that potentially challenge the strength of our Jewish community. If they cannot turn to their own for guidance, support, and acceptance then to whom can they turn?

As always, I welcome your constructive comments and feedback. I can be reached at cbskeruv@gmail.com

TRACY SAFRON SUGGESTS

Addie Baum was born in Boston in 1900 to immigrant Jewish parents. She is The Boston Girl in Anita Diamant’s new novel.

The narrative begins in 1985 when Addie’s twenty-two year old granddaughter asks her, “How did you get to be the woman you are today?” Young Addie is a smart girl who is thrilled to start high school. Regrettably she is soon expected to work full time to contribute to her family’s meager income. While in school, Addie joins a reading club where she meets other girls that share her interests. “This is where I started to be my own person”, reflects Addie. In the summer of 1916 she travels for the first time.

Addie stays for a week at Rockport Lodge, an inn for young ladies, in a seaside town north of Boston. She experiences living on her own. As Addie’s story progresses she is caught between limitless opportunities and a distant mother who is unwilling to accept change. She loves her family, but she longs for independence. Her fascinating account spans tragedy, war, success, and love. Diamant’s dazzling novel leaves the reader pondering the extraordinary impact friends have on our lives.

Thanks go to our volunteers: Bob Spector, Robyn Rosengard, Dan Shulman and Dalya, Ifaat Bosse, Alan Edelman, Beth Nussbaum, Debbie Kamensky, Patricia Dolins, Pam Pearl, Pam Issen, Howard and Jody Sigal, Amy Solar, and the Men’s Club contingent who, year after year, do a fantastic job with food service! Also connected to Purim, the Sisterhood worked with the school to make Matanot La’Evyonim, gifts for the needy. This represents one of the four central mitzvot associated with Purim. Each class was responsible for contributing a particular type of item, and then our Aleph and Bet classes assembled the majority of bags. The Sisterhood finished the job and delivered the fruits of our labor to PADS. Special thanks to Jody Sigal and Suzy Hakimian for creating and spearheading this effort. I hope it becomes an annual tradition.

Our Kindergarten, First and Second Grade Shabbat dinner was very sweet. Dinner was short (little kids eat faster for some reason). Our Music Specialist Carole Speigel played guitar and led students and parents in a combination of songs and prayers.

Our Second graders made their annual pilgrimage to the Matzah Factory in Highland Park. No it isn’t a commercial venture. Housed in the basement of the Central Avenue Synagogue, it provides an opportunity for our little ones to roll out dough, flatten and score rounded cakes and bake unleavened bread. All the while the get a lesson about matzah and why it resonates for us with every Passover.

Our Hay class went to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center. They followed the exhibit which detailed the causes and precursors that led to our devastation in Europe. The bus was quiet on the way back to Beth Shalom. Ifaat Bosse and Neil Rosengard chaperoned the visit.

Back in November, Education VP Bob Spector, the clergy and I put together a program for students and parents that was very well received. Parents were especially pleased for the opportunity to have conversations with the clergy and their peers about things that resonated for them. They asked for more. So we decided to coordinate a similar opportunity for parents at the same time as students were putting on model Seders (Sedarim in Hebrew).

While at the time of this writing the event has not yet happened, it represents the responsiveness our clergy has to the needs of our parents. I look forward to telling you all about it in the next bulletin.

“Ma Nishma” MATT RISSIEN Youth Director

Se

Shalom, I hope everyone had a great Passover! I was fortunate enough to have spent my Passover in Miami running youth programming for a Passover vacations program. While it was nice to get out of the colder Chicago weather, I am excited for what we have coming up in the last few months of our programming year.

Immediately following Passover, we celebrate Yom Hashoah, remembering the holocaust. Our USY’ers will be having a lounge night devoted to remembering the holocaust that evening. In 2015, the world is so different than what life was like during the period of the holocaust. However, there are still many similarities. AntiSemitism is still prominent in so many places, as seen all over social media and the news. Protesting on campuses against Israel is at an all-time high. It is important that as Yom Hashoah approaches, we remember the victims of the holocaust and make sure our youth understand that it is up to all of us to make sure that the holocaust NEVER happens again.

On April 19th, we have our final youth lounge open house. This program will be extra big with lots of snacks and events for the kids to participate in. April ends with our USY Kinnus convention. This year we have been fortunate to average 30 USY’ers per program at Beth Shalom. This convention is the regional culmination of our programming year, and it is sure to be a blast. If anyone has any questions about any youth programming, please feel free to reach out: MRissien@BethShalomNB.Org. Shalom, Matt Rissien

Seen any good videos lately?

As a matter of fact, something was just suggested to us by our friend and teacher, Carl Schrag! In a recent session of our CBS University class, Israel in Depth, Carl told us about a very popular Israeli TV series called Arab Labor (Avoda Aravit).

We just happen to have Season One in our library at Congregation Beth Shalom right now!

Why not borrow it? Here’s a brief synopsis of the show taken from the Link TV website: “Created by Sayed Kashua, an Israeli-born Palestinian journalist, Arab Labor (translated from the Hebrew "Avoda Aravit", which colloquially implies "shoddy or second-rate work") focuses on Amjad Alian, a Palestinian journalist and Israeli citizen in search of his identity. Poking fun at the cultural divide, Kashua and his characters play on religious, cultural and political differences to daringly depict the mixed society that is Israel. This show marked a milestone on Israeli television as the first program to present Palestinian characters speaking Arabic on primetime, and it generated great controversy between Arab and Israeli media.”

Arab Labor has won several awards from the Israeli Television Academy including: Best Comedy Series Best Directing in a Comedy Series Best Actress in a Comedy Series Best Actor in a Comedy Series Best Script in a Comedy Series

Leatte Gelfeld & Beth Sher

Happy Spring! On the day this is being written we’ve just had snowfall. another Hopefully on the day it is being read, all of the snow has melted and the temperature has increased! With April brings Passover – for many of us this is a renewal of sorts. The opportunity to clean out the pantry and fridge and start fresh. We hope that the Seders with your family were meaningful and created good memories for years to come. Hopefully you had the opportunity to attend some of our Passover happenings in March. A fun night was had by all with the return of Paula Shoyer to discuss her new book “The New Passover Menu.” It was great to discuss that Passover doesn’t need to be all about matzah and kugel, there are so many great and interesting ideas in her new book. Thanks to Lorna Cohen, Edna Schrank, Sue Lewis and Suzy Hakimian for putting the event together. And our Passover mavens, Sarah Budweg and Kim Shwachman, once again coordinated a successful Passover bake-athon so that there were meals and desserts at the Passover kiddushim in April. Thanks to all of the ladies that took the time to come in to bake. Hopefully you had the opportunity to be here on Shabbat to taste all of the homemade goodies.

And now onto April. Our CBS Knits Group is meeting twice this month, April 12 and 19. They are always looking for new members, so contact Maureen Gold at maureenagold@comcast.net or 847-5091978. We are also getting ready for our Culminating and Valued Volunteer Dinner on May 5. Our speaker this year is Pastry Chef Gale Gand. And we are thrilled to be honoring Jackie Zelkowitz as our Valued Volunteer for all of the help and support she’s given to our Shabbat Kiddushim week after week, and has been an especially big help as we have transitioned the responsibilities over to the capable hands of Brenda Wasserman in the CBS office.

They say April Showers Bring May Flowers – let’s hope so!

For the last two years Sarah Budweg & Kim Shwachman have undertaken the massive job of organizing the Pesach Baking. We, as a congregation, are so fortunate to have these delicious “home made” items for our Passover kiddushim! Sarah and Kim have spent countless hours converting recipes, figuring out quantities and coordinating bakers for the three day event.

They make it look easy, even though it isn’t, because they are extraordinary volunteers! Our thanks to Sara & Kim for all the tasty food served during Pesach.

Pesach Preparation Thank You

What does it take to prepare for Passover Kiddushim? It takes a community of volunteers. We want to thank all the talented CBS chefs who helped prepared the bakes goods, kugels and soufflés for the Passover Kiddushim. The following individuals enhanced our holiday with lovingly made treats: Marcey Bernstein, Barbara BenDov, Howard Friedan Suzy Hakimian, Adrienne Holtzman, Judy Kaplan, Gina Kay, Jean Kosova, Sandee Levin, Marci Shapiro, Edna Schrank, with a special thanks to Susan Stoeher who helped shop and baked every day.

We also want to thank the volunteers who offered to help but we finished ahead of schedule, Laurie Davis, Amy Golden, Denise Handler, CeCe Lasinsky, Diana Lewis, Linda Lieber, Beth Sher, Marti Stinton, Debbie Stern, Adrianne Varhula and Davy Arnold.

The quantity of the ingredients was amazing. Over 7 pounds of potatoes, 25 pounds of sugar, 300 blintzes, 24 pounds of butter, 35 dozen eggs, and pounds and pounds of Matzo meal, Matzo farfel, potato starch and much more. Countless hours of cutting and peeling potatoes and onions and checking those eggs.

While our chefs used ridiculous quantities of ingredients, we must thank Maria Catezone for her help shopping for our needed supplies.

We want to thank Adrianne Varhula, Beth Sher, Leatte Gelfeld and Michael Garlin, for their efforts and support, as well as Jose, Mercedes, EZ, Erica and the staff.

Finally we would like to especially thank Rabbi Melman for his guidance and insight.

Chag Sameach to all Sarah Budweg and Kim Shwachman!

Men's Club President Larry Grossman & Ray Rokni Remember to Remember

April brings us to Yom HaShoah, also known as Holocaust Remembrance Day, which occurs on the 27th of Nisan, corresponding to the evening of April 15th and the day of the 16th. As anti-Semitism continues to flare up Larry Grossman Ray Rokni around the world it is more important than every to commemorate this day.

Men’s Club commemorates the day each year by providing Yellow Candles to be lit on that day to collectively honor the Yahrzeit of the six million who perished. You should have received our candles by now, as well as a prayer to be said as you light it.

Your donations help fund the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Learning Center. The Museum’s permanent exhibition tells the story of the Holocaust, from pre-war German life through ghetto life and concentration camps to eventual liberation and resettlement throughout the world. The Harvey L. Miller Family Youth Exhibition for younger visitors between the ages of 8-12 teaches what it means to be “upstanders” in their communities rather than bystanders, to address bullying, and to put themselves in another’s shoes though a hands-on interactive experience demonstrating tenets of character education such as trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

Schools with the fewest resources often are those whose students would benefit most from the Museum. Unfortunately, travel costs and admission fees of field trips are prohibitive, and there are thousands of students across the area in schools without the financial resources to visit. Our Youth Opportunity Scholarships subsidize admission and transportation costs for schools in need. Only schools with at least 50% of their students in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program qualify and nearly 25% of Museum field trips subsidized by Youth Opportunity Scholarships.

All of the profits from donations to the Yellow Candle program will be donated to the Youth Opportunity Scholarships and we hope you will generously support this important project.

Our Yom Hashoah event will be a breakfast on Sunday, April 19, featuring author and Northbrook resident Steven Richards discussing his book, Sitting on Top of the World. It follows the true story of ten year old Jew Kurt (Walker) Wagner who is expelled from Nazi Germany and begins a seven year odyssey that culminates with his adoption in America. During this journey, he learns the truth that his unknown father is a Nazi Brownshirt and his never seen Christian brother was his neighbor. This true story exploration of family and faith weaves together the voices of the main characters to answer Kurt’s question of “Why”.

Remember to remember by lighting your Yellow Candle, supporting the Opportunity Scholarship and attending the event on April 19.

Remembering and educating are the best ways to prevent a recurrence. Never forget to remember.

B’shalom-

Chicagoland Synagogue Survey Program

!

Dear CBS Congregants, We are excited to inform you that Congregation Beth Shalom, along with 12 other area synagogues as part of the Chicagoland Synagogue Survey Program, will be participating in a membership survey this spring. Similar to the 2013 survey, this survey will help provide input as we ensure that we meet the present and future needs of the members of our synagogue.

We’ll also be able to benchmark our progress from 2013 to determine where we moved the needle. We encourage you to tell us what you think we’re doing right, what we can improve upon, and what is important to you.

We need your support and participation!

You will receive an email inviting you to take the survey in late April. Our goal is a 100% household response rate so that we may hear all congregant voices.

The data collection, analysis, and reporting will be handled by an independent third party, Measuring Success, a firm that has worked in the Jewish world for over ten years to develop tools to assist non-profits to measure performance.

Measuring Success will handle all of your survey responses confidentially.

Our synagogue will receive an aggregate report of the results and will not have access to individual survey responses (unless you choose to self-identify). If we have multiple e-mail addresses for your member unit, you are welcome to each fill out your own survey.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this important project. Please keep an eye on your email in late April 1915 for the survey invitation.

LifeSource Community Blood Drive Sunday, April 12th, 2015 8:00 am - 1:00 pm

Every day 1500 blood donors are needed. For over 10 years, Congregation Beth Shalom has responded by hosting a Blood Drive. The CBS Blood Drive this past August was a huge success, please help make this one just as successful!

WHO CAN DONATE BLOOD?

Healthy adults, ages 17 and older (16 with parental permission) who weigh at least 110 pounds. Picture ID required.

IS IT SAFE?

Donating blood poses no health risks.
