more than 20 trips andd missions to Israel. Rabbi Wolkin o servedd as president of the Northbrook Clergy A Association, the Chicago Region of the R Rabbinical Assembly and the Chicago Boaard of Rabbis. He has been a member of the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federaation of Metropolitan Chicago Board of D Directors. He also served as president of the Community Mikvah of the Connservative Movement, and is on thee Rabbinic Advisory Council of the Chiicagoland Jewish High School.

It was when he interacted with rabbis through USY and Camp Ramah Berkshires as a teen, however, that the idea of becoming one gelled. “If I can be this kind of rabbi, it will be okaay,,” he recalled thinking. Moreover, “If my father could sell furniture, I could sell Judaism.”

From the Rabbi Carl Wolkin

Rabbi's Desk

This is my last bulletin column as your senior rabbi. Since I hope I will see many of you at our retirement celebration on June 28th when I will have the opportunity to speak, this column will not be a farewell. In fact, there will be no good-byes from me or Judy, now or ever, which is why I am devoting the column to answering the most frequently asked question I have heard during the past year: “Rabbi, what are you going to do when you retire?” I always answer immediately with what I call my “flippant answer”: “I am going to do whatever I want, whenever I want to do it.” There is certainly some truth to that response, but anyone who is already retired knows that it is not that simple. I will have the opportunity to fill the days with what I want to do, no longer just what my profession requires of me. I know that I will take some time to figure it all out while I kick back and relax to recharge my batteries for what is next. I know it is important to fill my days with what Judy and I enjoy together and as individuals and to use my time wisely- for good purposes. While I am doing that, please know that Judy and I have no plans to move away from our home in Northbrook. We love the community and have developed deep and lasting friendships. Part of living here will now give us the time to visit Chicago as tourists, something we have never really done. Our first outing is going on the Chicago Architectural Boat Tour, but there is so much of this wonderful city for us still to explore. So don’t be surprised when you see us in the city, continue to see us at Sunset or even sitting among you at services. It will be a delight for me to be able to sit with Judy in the congregation. Josh lives in Chicago and David and Keeli live in Maryland so travel will certainly include seeing both short and long distance visits to spend more time with our children. Other travel is also something to which we are looking forward. We also both know that remaining active and staying physically fit is critical to maintaining good health at this point in our lives. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you see us power-walking together on the streets of Northbrook. I am going to continue and have already increased my involvement in JUF and the larger Jewish community and you might even see me officiating at a life-cycle event. While I will no longer be officiating on the Bema of Beth Shalom, I may return to the classroom and teach some Adult Education classes at some point. And who could resist some of our synagogues marvelous programs and events! Other volunteer activities are also on the agenda. When I retire at the end of June, Judy and I will have been part of the Beth Shalom community for 35 years. We will always be grateful for all that we have shared with you and all that you have done for us as a family. Josh and David have grown up from earliest childhood at the synagogue. You have embraced us all with your love and support at all times (more about this on June 28th). At the end of the day my flippant answer is not altogether flippant, because “whatever I want” includes continuing to be part of the Beth Shalom family, our family, God willing, over the long years to come. We look forward to seeing you on June 28th, Sunday afternoon at 3 PM here at Beth Shalom- not to say good-bye, but to say thank you and L’hitraot- we will be seeing you! With Much Love and Hugs, Judy, Carl, Joshua, David and Keeli

Cantor’s Notes

Cantor Steve

While I so enjoy writing my own columns I came across this article and found it charming yet peculiar, pertinent yet antiquated. Yes it comes from an Orthodox site (which does not mean I advocate for that manner of lifestyle, but I often glean many meaningful insights from such sites, as well as Reform, Reconstructionist and non-Jewish as well). You will likely not understand all of the words the author uses but take the free time you have this summer and look them up, explore the new terminologies and ideas. Take from it what you may and then stop into my office over the summer and let’s talk about those things you found curious, those things you may wish to acquire for your own practice of observance (with some slight alterations possibly) or maybe just for a kibbitz. ______________________________

Swimming on Shabbos is prohibited, even in an enclosed swimming pool. Our custom is not to wash the entire body on Shabbos, even in cold water. Some Poskim allow a cold shower to be taken on an extremely hot and humid day if one is in distress (b'makom Tzaar) from the heat (IG"M OC 4:75). A bungalow colony requires an Eruvei Chatzeiros before any carrying may be done. The Eruvei Chatzeiros must be accessible. If it was locked up and no key is available, it is considered as if it was lost. Carrying is then forbidden. If one resides in a bungalow for thirty days, he is obligated to place a Mezuza on every door which requires one. One should not put the required Mezuzos on before the thirty-day period is complete (IG"M YD 1:179) At the end of the summer, the Mezuzos may be removed if there is a chance that they may be stolen or damaged. One who purchased a summer home or a bungalow must put on Mezuzos with a Bracha immediately upon moving in. HAVE A GOOD SUMMER AND SEE YA LATER….

Summer Halacha by Rabbi Doniel Neustadt at Torah.org ______________________________

The coming of the summer-vacation season, when many people are away from their homes and usual surroundings, brings forth with it unique Halachic problems. Although it is difficult to envision the exact scenarios, we have chosen certain common situations which are likely to occur during the long summer season. A sampling: A bathing suit is not Muktze. Other swimming paraphernalia, however, are considered a Kli Shmelacto L'eissur (HaRav S. Y. Elyashiv). Unless needed for a medical condition, sunglasses may not be worn on Shabbos outside of an Eiruv. On Shabbos, one may wear a jacket thrown over his shoulders. It is not considered carrying (Chazon Ish). A raincoat lining may be zipped in and out on Shabbos. A Gentile may be told to turn off the airconditioning system if it has turned too cold and may cause people to become ill. This is permissible both in a private home and in Shul during Davening time (IG"M OC 3:42). Some Poskim allow asking a Gentile to put on the airconditioning system if the extremely hot weather causes major discomfort (Minchas Yitzcak 3:23). Other Poskim do not agree and prohibit this. In their opinion, even if the Gentile turned the system on [for the sake of the Jew] without being told to do so, one may not derive pleasure from his action and must leave the building (IG"M YD 3:47). One who is being chased by a bee may capture it. If one is allergic to a bee sting, he may kill the bee. An anti-mosquito spray may be sprayed in the air (but not directly at the mosquitoes) in a room which houses a sick person or a baby. A window or a door should be left open (Chazon Ish). One may spray or rub on his body a mosquito repellent, provided that it is a (totally) liquid type. All animals are Muktze and may not be carried on Shabbos. A fly, however, may be swatted away. A fly or bug that fell into a beverage cup or into a bowl of soup may be removed only if some of the liquid is removed along with it.

Congregation President Glen Roter As I sit down to write this, my final column, I wonder where have the two years gone? We have accomplished many things during my term, but none of it would have happened without the efforts and assistance of so many people. The time I have spent has been so gratifying to me, enriching my life and allowing me to learn about so many different subjects. But it all happened because of others, those who have helped me along the way. First of all, I’d like to thank our outstanding Clergy, Rabbi Wolkin, Rabbi Melman and Cantor Stoehr. I have learned so much ritually from you and it has made my personal Judaism so much better. I’ve had the privilege of working with 2 outstanding Executive Directors, Harvey Gold and Michael Garlin. Though completely different people, they both share the work ethic and love of CBS. Thank you both for making my life easier as I served as President. Our professional staff, Leann, David, Naomi, Matt and Susan, made my job so much easier as they did the planning and told me when to show up and what to do. Thank you for being at CBS. The behind the scenes staff, some of whom you see in the office, keep the building and events moving. Thank you to Maria, Estelle, Brenda, Allison, Eli, Maxine, Deanne, Barbara and Stephanie. Same goes for Jose and his crew who make sure the building is ready for all of us. I have had the pleasure of working with some great people on my exec boards the last 2 years. Not only will I thank them, but the congregation should thank all of our officers for the time that they have put into their jobs and the outstanding results that are achieved. I have been very fortunate to have had this group on my side. The Board of Trustees have made running the synagogue easy with their dedication and work on many committees. Thank you all for your time and dedication to Beth Shalom. One group, the past presidents, have been an invaluable resource to me. Questions, help, advice, whatever I needed, someone was always there to give me a hand. How great it is that these PPs, as they call themselves, are involved and ready to do whatever it takes. I was able to call on a few of them to head important committees and the real benefit to me and CBS is that when you have someone who knows what they are doing heading a committee, you know that the results will be good. Of course, I have to thank the entire congregation for allowing me to serve in this capacity. It was my pleasure and honor to be your President and I have truly enjoyed serving these last 2 years. Without the help, approval, council and listening ability of my wife Jill, this would never have happened. She has had to put up with an absentee husband, sometimes for weeks at a time. Many Shabbats she accompanied me to services, not to sit by me but at least we were together, in the same room. I know she will appreciate sitting with me in the near future and I will be happy to sit with her. Jill has stood by me as I took on this position and I thank her for allowing me to serve CBS. Blake and Melissa also missed me and I thank them for their patience as I served our synagogue. The thing about the two of them is that they have both become good volunteers and leaders in their own right. They have taken lessons from their mother and me. As I get ready to pass the torch to Larry Grossman, I want to wish him good luck over the next couple of years and I will be around to give you a hand, just as Tami Rokni was here for me when I had a question or needed to bounce something off of someone. This CBS family is something very special. I am honored to be able to say that I served as President of this awesome and prestigious community. Glen

ADULT B’NAI MITZVAH CLASS One of the ongoing educational opportunities at Beth Shalom is the Adult B’nai Mitzvah class. This year Cantor Stoehr will once again teach this course of study. This two-year program consists of one year of general Judaic study or beginning Hebrew and the second year is an intense preparation for the celebratory service. This coming year that date will fall in either May or June 2016. The class meets once a week and is a combination of learning and sharing in each other’s lives. The bonds which this process creates for the participants are everlasting. Who is qualified? Those who have not celebrated Bar or Bat Mitzvah previously in their lives for whatever reasoning. To fully grasp the spectrum of learning presented in the second year of this course, one is to have a “head start” in their Judaic studies. Fundamentally one needs a comfortable capacity in reading Hebrew. Those NOT YET comfortable with their Hebrew reading abilities, continue to spend this year in separate Hebrew studies, rather than enroll for the ABM class. Comprehension is something we will approach within the second year. If you have been involved in some of our educational classes at CBS this past year, or in one of many offered by the Jewish community at large, then I am happy to have you join me in the year two section of the ABM process. If not, get started and I will anxiously await your enrollment for next year. CANTOR STEVE

HIGH HOLIDAY HONORS As our synagogue has grown much larger, it has become more challenging and important to be inclusive and personal. We realize that some families have been members for many years and have never had a High Holiday honor. In this spirit, we would like to invite any adult member of Congregation Beth Shalom who has never received a High Holiday honor to let us know if you would like one. Don’t worry if you can’t read Hebrew, it will be a non-speaking honor. We realize that the size of the response will determine when your turn will come. We shall continue with those who have been members the longest. Please remember that honors will also continue to be given to those who serve the congregation in various capacities. Therefore, we ask your patience. In time your opportunity to come to the Bima will come. We look forward to the day when we can say that all who wish to be honored have been honored. We look forward to hearing from you. Please fill out the attached form and return it to the synagogue, or e-mail it back to the attention of the High Holiday Committee. Sincerely, Aaron Melman Rabbi

TISHA B’AV

Thank You, For All That You Do! I would like to thank everyone who volunteered and supported all of our CBS Social Action Projects this year. We continue to feed people in and around our community by way of our various food drives (donations made to The Northfield Food Pantry and ARK), PADS meal delivery, holiday food bags, and grocery shopping for 8 ARK client families. I would like to thank and recognize some specific members who helped make this happen; Sandee Levin, Sara Weinstein, Merrill Medansky, Andy Widen, Arlene Gelman, Beth Fenton, Carol Weintraub, Robin and David Allen, Debbie Wachtel, Deborah Maleh, Ellen Nemirow, Frances Kazan, Lawrence LeVine, Leatte Gelfeld, Lenore Weiss, Linda Ring, Lissa Silver, Lorna Cohen, Sarah Budweg, Sandra Randell, Susan Stoehr, Jill Olefsky, Toni Rosen and Tami Rokni. CBS hosted two blood drives, and provided flu shots for all who wanted this year. The following volunteers were instrumental in making these events so successful; Steve Elisco, Debbie Elisco, Laura Schoeneman, Neal Golden, Jeff Hoffen, Michelle Crane, Janet Rhode-Krain, Shari Coleman, Laurel Letwat and Arlene Handler. CBS Members generously donated hundreds of toys for the Holiday Gift Drive. Jill Roter and Fern Roseman were instrumental in getting those toys to the JCFS Holiday party. I would like to thank all of our members for supporting our hardworking Israel Committee. The committee, led by Sue and Len Rubin, continues to thrive, and keep us informed about Israel. I’d like to thank all our members who have volunteered to serve on this committee, including Karen Rosenthal, Tami and Raymond Rokni, and Larry Grossman. I would also like to thank all of our members who continue to donate toiletries, beanie babies, glasses, cell phones, comics, and new this year- used gym shoes. Jill Olefsky and Marilyn Fish are instrumental in managing these collections. I would also like to thank Rabbi Wolkin, Rabbi Melman, Cantor Stoehr and Michael Garlin for all their support and commitment to making Social Action a top priority at CBS. I would also like to thank Leann Blue, David Barany and Matt Rissien for their continued commitment to Social Action by way of all the projects they spear-head and provide help with throughout the year. Have a great summer! Debbie Bell-Social Action VP

Tisha B’Av, the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av, is a day that commemorates a number of different calamities in Jewish history. Among these sad events is the destruction of both Temples in Jerusalem, the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E., the second by the Romans in 70 C.E. According to tradition, both events took place on the Ninth of Av. In addition, the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain occurred on this date. The day is observed as a fast. Also, the Book of Lamentations (Eicha) is chanted in a mournful tune. This book, one of the Megillot, is a description of the tragic events surrounding the ruin of the First Temple. Tradition ascribes its authorship to the prophet Jeremiah. Tisha B’Av is the only day when Tefillin are not worn at the morning service. This is connected with the fact that in the morning the sadness of the day is too much with us to wear the Tallit and Tefillin, symbols of joy. All in all, Tisha B’Av is a sad day of national mourning by Jewish people; we must actively recollect the past to insure the future. In addition to the reading of Lamentations on Saturday evening, July 25, the service will be enhanced with dramatic and poetic readings, describing different periods of persecution from ancient times until today. Sunday morning’s service will also include a selection from the Book of Eicha.

TRACY SAFRON SUGGESTS What makes The Last Flight of Poxl West by Daniel Torday an entertaining novel also makes it difficult to describe. Torday’s tale includes two narrators and an entire memoir. It is both a war remembrance and a book set in 1986 about a teenage boy and the uncle he worships. Poxl West fled to Holland from Czechoslovakia to outrun the Nazis and ultimately settled in London. Fifty years have passed since he showered the German’s with bombs as a RAF pilot. Poxl often shared his war stories on outings with his nephew Eli before publishing them in his memoir, Skylock. Poxl’s written history covers all the baseslove, bravery, loss, and his book brings him much acclaim. Eli is obsessed with Skylock and his uncle’s remarkable past. He longs to discuss the book with him but Poxl’s success takes him on the road and away from Eli. Critical praise for the novel stated that Poxl West is like a John Irving character reimagined by Philip Roth. Torday’s prose is lyrical and unique. His creative storytelling pilots the reader through an amazing journey.

THE COMMUNITY MIKVAH OF THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT

KERUV CORNER KERUV: Welcoming Interfaith Families BOB SPECTOR Shalom Chaverim, Wow, is it summertime already? I hope this season provides you with an opportunity to slow things down and to have increased quality time with your families. As a follow up from my last column, I am including the first part in order to create a context for this column because that was a bit of a departure from the usual themes I address. The Spector/Meyers clan has been in the throes of college applications, college visits, and decision making as Rachel (my older daughter) prepares to begin the next phase of her life this coming August. Sadly, one of the most important questions we have had to answer is ‘What is the political climate toward Israel on the campuses that Rachel is considering?’ On many college campuses across the country the student bodies are voting on censoring Israel for “human rights violations” and the line between anti-Israel sentiment and anti-Semitism has become very blurry. As if preparing our children for college hasn’t been challenging enough, we are now faced with trying to assess the social, emotional, and yes even the physical safety of our children. Throughout the never ending need (and accompanying self-doubt) to both protect and prepare our children for life outside of home and community, Chris and I are questioning if we as parents and all of us as a Jewish community have adequately prepared our children to navigate the challenges of being Jewish on today’s college campuses. Last month I raised the question about whether there may be differences in parental reactions to the challenges our college kids are facing, based on whether a couple was intermarried. What I learned from my informal, nonscientific survey was that parental responses to their children’s campus life challenges seem to be more a function of gender rather than religious upbringing. Mothers appear to be more proactive in seeking support and education for their college age children. To be clear, it is not that fathers are not concerned, but that mothers, regardless of religious preference, are taking the lead on this issue. Additionally, there was disappointment expressed that our synagogues are not doing enough to educate our children on matters related to Israel. What I take from this is that our non-Jewish parents are equally committed to and invested in preparing their children for the challenges they face as Jewish young adults outside their homes and communities. To all you parents who have embraced our Jewish community as your own (including being proactive on this very difficult issue as well), I Thank You! As always, I welcome your constructive comments and feedback. I can be reached at cbskeruv@gmail.com.

The word “mikvah” means “a gathering of waters.” A mikvah is built according to precise rules of location, dimension and source of its natural water. The Mikvah looks like a small pool, is about four feet deep, and is filled with warm (92 degree) water. This “mayim chayim” – “living waters” – reminds us of the pure waters of the Garden of Eden. The ritual of immersion in a Mikvah is a means of spiritual purification helping us to prepare ourselves for events in our lives of great spiritual importance. In the times of the Temple in Jerusalem, the high priest immersed himself in the Mikvah five separate times during the services for Yom Kippur. According to the Talmud, if a new Jewish community is established, it is incumbent upon the community to build the Mikvah first, even before building the synagogue. Performing the rite of circumcision and immersion in a Mikvah are the two oldest rituals in any religion, having been performed continuously for almost 3,000 years. The Mikvah at Beth Hillel Congregation B’nai Emunah opened in February 1998. We have welcomed thousands of people who have come here to immerse in the warm, clean waters of the mikvah. People come to the mikvah for many different reasons, including (a) the final step of conversion; (b) brides and grooms; (c) before holidays such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Pesach; and (d) before a trip to Israel. Married women may use the mikvah on a monthly basis. People also seek out the comforting waters of the mikvah before or after surgery, upon completion of chemotherapy, and to observe yahrzeit. The Mikvah is overseen by the Rabbinical Assembly of Chicago (Conservative). Rabbi Carl Wolkin is the president and Beth Shalom member Carol Schnitzler is the Shomeret (administrator) in charge on a daily basis. The Mikvah is looking for women who would like to be trained as volunteers to oversee the mikvah in Carol’s absence. Since a significant number of immersions are for women, we specifically need women to serve as backup and support for Carol.

Beth Shalom School 5775 With our Beth Shalom Family • Men’s Club joined us on our first crazy day of the school year, serving coffee curbside and welcoming all Sunday school parents. • High Holidays – Family Services with Naomi and Matt: We recognize that our families see Beth Shalom holistically, not as separate schooling, youth-group and ritual providers. So we brought all or our assets together for our families in the High Holiday programming. • Rabbi Wolkin joined our Aleph and Bet students during Sukkot for a discussion of the holiday. • The Bet class joined in with our Men’s Club for the now annual tephillin awareness campaign, the World Wide Wrap. • For Purim, Sisterhood organized an effort with the Hebrew school to pack “Mishlo’ach Manot” bags of necessary sundries for the PADS shelter • Cocoa and Donut Shabbat. What Naomi and I started as just an informal Shabbat service for 3rd-6th graders and families grew when we featured our sweet starters. • Leann Blue, Rabbi Wolkin and I worked together to bring Chai Mitzvah, one of Beth Shalom’s Shabbat morning adult education offerings, to life. • In November Rabbi Melman, Rabbi Wolkin, Cantor Stoehr, Bob Spector and I presented “Questions About Judaism You’re Too Afraid To Ask” for parents and students in 5th-8th grades. The students’ questions broke down into five categories: theology, identity, past facts, “what if…?” questions, and how we relate to others. The parent conversations were more freeranging. • The school joined in with all of Beth Shalom to celebrate lighting the first night of Chanukah. Todd Kessler led us in song, and the fifth graders displayed their fanciful ideas for Chanukiyot as art. • The Purim Carnival was wonderful! Thanks to Men’s Club, Youth, the Membership Committee, and most of all to Barbara Klein. Partnership makes all the difference. • Our student choir, Shir Joy, was led with aplomb all year by Cantor Stoehr. Field Trips • First graders went to the Garoon JCC Science Center as part of their Creation unit. • Our second graders visited the mini-matzah factory in Highland Park. • Our 5th and 6th graders joined with Congregation Beth Judea for a retreat at Camp Henry Horner. Climbing wall, zip line and in-depth discussions were all exciting in their own ways. • Eighth graders went to Caputo’s grocery store as part of their unit on urban poverty. Their assignment was to purchase groceries for a family of four on a very limited budget. All purchases were donated. • Eighth graders went to the Gidwitz Place for Assisted Living to celebrate Chanukah with their elders. • Our Gimel students went to the ARK to learn about community services and to help sort in the food pantry. Again, our students brought honor to our synagogue. • Our Bet class went to Israel…at the Board of Jewish Education. We experienced Israel via an 180 square foot map

of our homeland. We “skied” on Mt. Hermon, felt Dead Sea mud on our hands, analyzed the contents of a tel, and got to know about H2O in Israel. • Our Daled class went to Chicago Jewish Funerals as part of our lifecycle curriculum. There David Jacobson taught them the importance of “Kavod Chayim” respect for life, as an essential part of end-of-life traditions. • Our Hay class went to the Holocaust Museum and Education Center in as part of their history curriculum. • Our 8th graders really did go to Israel on the JUF sponsored Ta’am Yisrael program. Special Guests • Parent Patricia Dolins reprised her role as the director of “Guerilla Torah Theater.” Our Gimel students put together a skit about the week’s Torah portion, and then surprised the other classes with a two minute Torah “commercial.” • Author Erica Weisz visited with our Kindergarten through Aleph students sharing both her writings and her methods. • Josh Wolkin prepared our Gimel class for their visit to the ARK. (His dad kvelled). • Dancers from the International Center on Deafness and the Arts performed to our Hebrew school students and parents. Cantor Stoehr brought them in honor of Jews with Disabilities Month. • Yale Ray, certified Shochet, talked to our 8th graders about the value put upon life and how that is carried into the process of kosher slaughtering of animals. • Karen Bellows read the book, “The Tattooed Torah” to our second graders. It tells about her father’s journey to Europe to collect a Holocaust Torah for the Northbrook Solomon Schechter school. • Teacher Susan Karlinsky and her 11th and 12th grade Gesher students, after learning all about the process of philanthropy, are announcing to the Board of Trustees their financial awards for this year. This program was again a success and it will continue to be an integral part of our post Bat/Bar Mitzvah education programming. Special Events • Sukkah Build: Daled students and parent volunteers initiated our build-a-home-style-Sukkah project as part of their Holidays curriculum • Kindergarteners’ Consecration: Our five year olds really showed off how much they’d learned (so far). It was poignant and lovely. • Tu B’Shevat Ice Cream Seder for our K-second grade was a hit again this year. • Shabbat Dinners: We topped 100 participants with all of our school dinners this year!! • Model Seders: The School Board and faculty set the tables for 167 participants in our Hebrew school’s model Seders. The goal of every child learning to sing the Four Questions in Hebrew was achieved. • Aleph Siddur Celebration: Very special thanks to representation from clergy, our synagogue president and Education Vice President. Our students were prepared, poised and read well. Broad smiles from parents as the students sang songs and prayers. Delicious sweets and fruit followed.

• Yom HaShoah Commemoration: The Board of Jewish Education’s Holocaust Resource Collection supplied artifacts for each of six stations, (A yellow star armband, an armband taken off of a Nazi soldier, photos and a stone from the Mauthausen concentration camp, an Israeli postage stamp commemorating Righteous Gentiles, etc.) It went well. • “Beneath The Helmet” film screening: About 140 in attendance, (a numerical success). Attended by Gimel – 8th grade students, their parents and others in the Beth Shalom community. Co-sponsored with Youth. Co-advertised with Israel Committee. • Gesher: Hay students, in seventh grade, concluded the year with a “Gesher”, or bridge, ceremony. They are presenting their reflections on their Jewish education thus far and visions for their Jewish future. Especially for Parents: • Parents and little ones gathered together in Dickler Hall to begin the year with songs, a story and an introduction to their teachers and classmates. • At our parent orientation we covered the basics AND talked about the importance of continuing Jewish education beyond the Bat/Bar Mitzvah celebration. • Kindergarten, first and second graders and their parents visited Chanukah learning stations that shed light on traditional and new ways to celebrate the holiday. • Why All Nights Should Be Like This Night?” Rabbi Melman, Rabbi Wolkin and Cantor Stoehr met with parents before Passover for conversation about the all-important messages in the coming holiday.

THANK YOU A special thank you from the Mitzvot Committee to our 8th Grade Hebrew School Greeters, Arin Elisco, Alison Wilensky, Noah LeCavalier, David Zelkowitz and Steven Zelkowitz.

“Ma Nishma” MATT RISSIEN Youth Director

It’s hard to believe that the end of the programming year has arrived. In this column, I would like to talk about the devotion to our chapter and region that some our USY’ers have given this year. At the beginning of the year, we lost over 20 devoted members because of graduation. Our chapter board this year decided that was not going to deter them from keeping our chapter successful. They worked hard and worked together to bring our CBS USY chapter to over 80 members! Anyone who entered the youth lounge on Thursday nights saw at least 30 high school students laughing and having fun at our programs. This is because of the hard work put in by our entire chapter board. Our board consisted of Josh Hakimian, Jeff Kurnick, Evan Weis, Bari Sigal, Elana Greenberg, Grace Elisco and Maddy Kahn. I could go on for hours about every one of them and their accomplishments. This group of leaders were not only fun to work with, but it has been a pleasure to see them grow as the year has progressed. I look forward to seeing the leadership next year pick up from where they left off. The one program I would like to focus on from this past year was our 8th grade initiation part bus program. We picked up 17 8th graders from their homes and introduced them to CBS USY with a huge pizza party. We have a really great program here at CBS, and I strongly encourage any high school students to come and check us out next year on Thursday nights. Look forward to seeing everyone next year at all of our youth events. Have a great summer! -Matt Rissien
