Congregation Beth Shalom February, 2023 Bulletin

When I first started at Beth Shalom, Mara Bernstein at the front desk asked for my cell number for the staff directory. I started, “847…” She interrupted me: “Oh wow, you already have an 847 number!” The truth was, I have never NOT had an 847 number, as I got my first cell phone here in the Chicago suburbs. But now, my area code is now once again in its natural habitat (like the rest of me). Thomas Wolfe wrote, “You can’t go home again.” But apparently you can get pretty close.

That’s just one of the nice surprises that comes with moving back to your hometown. When it comes to navigating, I understand instinctively that you get on the highway going “West” if you want to head north, and “East” if your destination is south. Makes perfect sense. (Jonathan disagrees. )

As we read in the Book of Exodus this season, the Israelites are also returning home. Many generations after Jacob and his sons left Canaan to settle in Egypt, the Israelites are now freed from bondage and heading back north (or really, northeast).

However, as we will see, their journey will be anything but linear. Yet to come are the 40 years of wandering, a punishment for a lapse of faith during the Incident of the Spies (Numbers 14). My years of “wandering” were shorter and were not (I hope!) the result of a divine punishment.

Throughout their journey from Egypt back home, the Israelites are guided by God, in the form of a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night. This holy “compass” stays with them/us always, even when we are feeling most lost – directionally or spiritually.

As winter finally turns to spring, and our Torah narrative wends from slavery to freedom, I pray that you too can perceive the Divine Navigator guiding your way.

“You Can’t Go Home Again?”

Rabbi Chapman

Shalom Chaverim,

I hope you are all staying warm and cozy and that 2023 is bringing you good health. For those of you who are spending the winter in warmer climates, can you send us some of that warmth and sunshine to the Chicago suburbs? I cannot believe that I just passed the 18th month mark of being your President, which means it is time for the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly update part III. More aptly, I’m going to call this the good and the sad (some) update (but mostly the good) because I have little bad or ugly to report.

Our Good started with the welcoming of Rabbi David Chapman and his lovely family to our community. They have been such a wonderful addition to our Congregation Beth Shalom family. We enjoyed a summer of many creative services which highlighted the vibrancy of our community through the inclusion of so many of our younger families. The summer was a terrific prelude to our High Holidays. While the COVID virus continued to be very present (BAD), this did not deter the return of so many of you to attend services in-person. We had well over 1000 members in our building engaging in a variety of service options and over 800 members joining us remotely. Our clergy created a sense of warmth and spirituality that represents how special we are as a congregation. We also welcomed Michael Schneider (our new Director of Youth, Family, and Young Adult Engagement) this fall who wasted no time in becoming an integral member of our staff. Earlier this year we hired several administrative staff - Lisa Weisner, Audrey Taxer, Pamela Connell, and Mara Bernstein who all significantly contribute to CBS being such a friendly and welcoming community. We are very fortunate to have such a committed and dedicated staff working on our behalf.

Unfortunately, we also experienced a lot of SAD over the past six months. The war in Ukraine rages on, our economy is still a mess, and we lost too many friends, family members, and loved ones (including my mother-in-law in December). It is during these periods in our lives and moments in time that it is critical that we have extended community to turn to for support. While Gloria Meyers’ death (Chris’ mother) was not unexpected, and she lived a full life (94 years) it still leaves our family with a collective heart that is less whole. I have no doubt that most of you know what this feels like. However, here’s the GOOD I want to leave with you…. the support we received from our extended CBS family was so appreciated. I thank you for the all the emails, text messages, and well wishes we received at our time of loss. This was once again a reminder for me of how Congregation Beth Shalom can be such a supportive and kind community and how fortunate and privileged I feel that I can give something back to all of you. As I now enter the fourth quarter of my leadership role, I enthusiastically look forward to continuing to help us become the best we can be.

MEMORIAL LIBRARY Highlights

We have a variety of newly acquired books for children and adults - novels, holiday and mitzvot books for early readers, haggadot, resources for life-cycle events, current events, and more! Come check out the continually growing and changing collection.

We’re looking for volunteers to support the needs of our library: shelving books, maintaining the catalogue, and helping to create a vision for this wonderful resource center. We are also seeking people to read to the Religious School K-3rd classes on Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and help the children check out books. Please contact Pamela Connell (pconnell@bethshalomnb.org or 847-498-5352) to get involved or for more information.

L'Shalom, Bob

EDITORIAL

Always Growing

Always Growing is a book written by a great friend of mine, Jones Loflin. Yes, it’s only February, but it’s time to start thinking about Spring. We are all gardeners. What grows – and how it grows –is up to you. If you give up or allow things to remain stagnant, you could miss out on incredible opportunities.

Grow, Cultivate, Prune, Harvest...

Grow

Identify what you can and cannot control and invest your time where you can have the greatest return. 

Letting something grow on its own doesn’t always bring the desired result. 

Create the environment that gives a plant the best chance to grow. 

Determine what a plant needs for optimum growth. 

A plant will only grow as fast as its most limited factor. 

A plant needs the right temperature to encourage it to grow.

As a leader are you in touch with what motivates everyone? What will help your team/family get their desired results and grow?

Cultivate



Cultivation is required to stay focused on what you want to grow. 

Preventing the weeds from growing limits their ability to use resources. 

Continually evaluate your methods to see if they are making the best use of your resources. 

Time spent seeking advice and sharing ideas always helps you improve what you’re growing.

Where does your focus need to be right now? Who are three people who could help you grow? What routines or activities should you engage in more often?

Prune



You sometimes have to say no to things of lesser importance so you can say yes to things of greater importance. 

Pruning is a reallocation of resources to nurture the desired growth. 

Pruning frees up resources that can be used in the areas of greatest importance. 

Pruning is the most critical in the early stages of growth because you’re forming the structure for the future. 

Prune at the first signs of undesirable outcomes.

Where do you feel like things are growing out of control for you or your team/family? How can you change your priorities to provide an extra hour for you to use each week to improve your effectiveness as a leader?

Harvest



Harvest is much more than the numbers. 

Harvest is when you celebrate ALL your productive results. 

Reflect on the results of your efforts rather than just on what you’re trying to grow. 

You must be intentional about celebrating your harvest moments as well as focusing on what you’re trying to grow.

Do you focus more on what is getting done or what is not getting done? Who needs you to celebrate a harvest moment with them right now?

When you choose to stop growing, you miss the opportunity to produce some incredible results.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL/YOUTH

Shabbat B’Yachad

We are excited and honored to have our Mechina class (6th grade) lead the Torah Service on February 4th! We are so proud of the new skills and knowledge you have learned working with Morah Randi Simon and Morah Yaffa Davidov.

Kitah Gimmel (3rd Grade) Siddur Ceremony

Our 3rd grade class is currently preparing for their Siddur Ceremony on Friday, March 10th. We look forward to sharing and celebrating this milestone with them and their families.

6th & 7th Grades Participate in The World Wide Wrap

Our 6th and 7th grade students have been learning about talit and t’fillin with our CBS Clergy. They will participate this month in the World Wide Wrap. We encourage our parents and CBS Community to join them on Sunday, February 12th! Thank you to Men’s Club for collaborating on this with the school.

Stacy Ybarra

CBS is busier than ever! I am sure our readers have heard about or

in our wonderful programs. A quick recap and look ahead:

FYC, our families with young children, continue to get together at least twice a month for Shabbat and holiday programs. We had an amazing time for our Chanukah Adventure with Jonathan Shmidt Chapman, and enjoyed a sing-a-long with Miss Dana.

CBS Chaverim, our 2nd-5th grade youth group was busy with several events. We painted Judaica pieces from Painted Penguin and decorated cookies for Chanukah. We also had a sports day where we got our energy out after Religious School.

CBS Gesher attended a program during winter break where 6th and 7th graders were able to hang out for a delicious Mizrahi Grill lunch, along with some games and activities. It is always great to see our middle schoolers!

Our high schoolers spent some time learning about the CBS Youth Endowment Fund, and how our fund value changes when the stock market changes. Our 2022 Rosh Hashanah honey sale raised $691 in support of the CBS Youth Endowment Fund. Students are already thinking about the needs in our community and beyond, and where they might recommend grants from this fund in the next few months. Thursday lounge nights have also had some great events like a paint night, shopping for Toys for Tots, and a relaxing spa night right after final exams week.

We have done so much more than what is listed above and there are many more programs coming up as we get into spring.
