MARCH 2018 • VOLUME 59 ISSUE 29

RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES I have a confession to make. I didn’t always like to read. Especially in Junior High and High School, unless it was really interesting, I generally relied on the Coles Notes (the Canadian version of CliffsNotes – Coles was a bookstore in Canada). I definitely had trouble with Shakespeare but seemed to really enjoy the “American Classics” we read.

However, it wasn’t really until my college years and the beginning of Rabbinical School that I developed a greater appreciation for the things I was reading. All of this serves as somewhat of a preamble to some thoughts I have been having while looking at the bookshelf in my office lately.

People often ask me if I have read every book on the shelves. The simple answer is no. At least not in their entirety. I have probably used about ninety percent of the books I have. The other ten percent belonged to my late grandfather and an associate rabbi at my parents’ synagogue – who, sadly, had a stroke many years ago and could no longer function in his role.

Over the last few weeks I have pulled from my shelves, Ramah at 60, a book written ten years ago to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of Camp Ramah. I was rereading some of the history of the various Ramahs in North America. Just last week, I pulled out the late Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I reminded myself of his first two habits, Be Proactive and Begin with the End in Mind. As we continue to celebrate Congregation Beth Shalom’s 50th Anniversary and continue to look toward the future, I continue to think about the vision I have for our future and the principles behind it. We also need to envision the various goals we have for our synagogue and then figure out the most effective way to achieve those goals.

Along similar lines, Sid Schwarz’s Finding a Spiritual Home is another book I was looking at earlier this week. What does it mean for Beth Shalom to be peoples’ spiritual

home? How best can we help nourish the spiritual souls of our community? We know that synagogue affiliation in America today is down and despite that, our membership is strong. We cannot rest on our laurels, although it is not about revolution either. We don’t need to turn things upside down and “reinvent the wheel.” We simply need to continue to evolve as Jews who live in modern America while holding onto the values of Conservative Judaism that we cherish. We will continue to be creative and offer new ways for all of us to explore our Judaism and take pride in the spiritual home that we have built.

Finally, although I didn’t look at my shelves for this book, it has been sitting on my desk for months and I keep reading it in small bits (although I hope to finish it before Pesach).

Ron Lieber is the personal finance columnist for the New York Times. His bestseller, The Opposite of Spoiled is subtitled, Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money. It has been a fascinating read especially as I raise two children of my own. And while some of you might say, “my children are adults, why should I read this?”, I think it has a message for everyone. The book talks about how to have an open and honest conversation about money with our children so that we can raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who, in his words, “are financially wise beyond their years.” It has been an inspiring road map and given me a lot to think about. As adults, we have the opportunity and, I would suggest, responsibility to model proper behavior for our own children and for young people around us – we have the ability to imprint lessons about what we value.

What have you found inspirational?

What books do you want people to know about? I encourage all of us to talk with those we come into contact with regularly and share thoughts about the books in which we find meaning.

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Debbie Solomon

My passion in life is helping others. It’s the driving force behind both my careers, as well as my service here, at the synagogue.

Passion in life is directly linked to purpose. However, I’ve recently learned that being “selfcentered” is just as important as passion and purpose. It’s a daunting concept at first – how can I be self-centered, yet present and focused on serving others? The concepts seem at odds with each other. But, part of helping others, truly being there for them, means you have to be there for yourself first. As I learned this idea of self-centeredness, I thought of Hillel’s words, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” While this can be interpreted many ways, let’s focus on it with regards to self-preservation, self-centeredness, and how it relates to Passover.

Why would we want to be self-centered? Well, it’s less of the idea that my ‘self’ is at the ‘center’ of everything, but rather my ‘self’ is centered. That our selves are present, focused, tuned in to our own needs and meeting them, so that we can then help others, and so that we can move freely in our lives without THE FEAR OF WHAT OTHERS THINK. The limitations we put on ourselves out of this fear are often debilitating. Why does this happen? When we’re

worried about the outcome, we neglect the process. When we worry that others are judging us, we feel powerless. But, by centering our selves, by being “self centered”, we empower ourselves to re-label the problem and refocus our attention to the situation and that which we can control, rather than on what we cannot. We can only control ourselves, our thoughts, our actions, our behaviors. By focusing on our self, we keep ourselves present.

There is great power in being centered and present.

When we feel empowered, we seek to help others feel the same. Again, I ask why would we want to be self-centered?

Because it puts us on a path towards serving others from a place of inner strength.

Now, what does this have to do with Judaism? Maybe nothing. Maybe it’s more of a lesson in personal growth.

Maybe it actually does relate to Passover, as well as many other stories in our history. Moses had to have the presence to be centered within himself to not only hear God talking to him, but to know to listen and follow. As God commanded him to go to Pharaoh, the Jewish people had to have the presence to listen and follow Moses at his word.

At CBS, we are always on the cusp of being innovative and fresh. We see needs and we act, just as God told Moses to act. We are a community of givers, doers, and, dare I say, self-centered people.

HINEYNU

With Passover right around the corner, it is impossible not to consider the symbols associated with the holiday. All the greens on our Seder table represent the coming of spring and suggest the perpetual renewal of life. The holiday is even called the Festival of Spring. There is not a more relevant time to consider participating in the Hineynu campaign. This endowment and capital fund initiative is absolutely necessary if CBS is to continue to be rejuvenated, replenished and renewed. I believe this is what we all want for our synagogue community; for it to be vibrant and alive and welcoming to all who walk through the doors.

In order to reach more people, our Clergy and many of our congregants have offered to open their homes to our community for Parlor Meetings designed to educate members on the reasons for the campaign and the various ways to participate. In addition to being educational, these meetings are informal, fun opportunities to visit with our Clergy and other CBS members. Everyone is not only invited but also encouraged to attend one of the events listed below.

Upcoming Parlor Meetings: March 11th: Elisa Rotman and Rabbi Melman, 2:30 – 4:00 pm March 14th: Suzy and David Hakimian, 7:00 – 8:30 pm March 15th: Rachel and Jon Laven, 7:00 – 8:30 pm March 18th: Vanessa and Rabbi Averbach, 4:00 – 5:30 pm

If you are interested in attending any of the March Parlor Meetings, please contact Dan Sher (dan@sher.com) for additional information and to RSVP. For more information regarding the campaign in general or to learn how to become more involved, please contact Lily Zoberman (Lilyzoberman@gmail.com) or Brad Shaps (brad.shaps@gcgfinancial.com).

Year after year as we read the Haggadah, we tell a story about the enduring qualities of hope and faith. Thousands of years later, those qualities continue to define Jews throughout the world; and, in particular, at Beth Shalom. We believe that together we can create an even stronger synagogue that has the ability to accommodate the needs and interests of an ever-changing population.

Hineynu: Here we are! Together we can make a difference.

Used Book Sale sponsored by the Religious School Sunday, March 4, 2018 at the Purim Carnival 11:30 am - 1:30 pm All proceeds go to the CBS Hineynu Campaign For more information or questions please call the Religious School at 847-498-5352

CANTOR’S NOTES Time is our most precious commodity. Too often we waste it and often we implore God for just a little bit more.

I’ve always been someone who is conscious of it and respectful of another person’s. I’m prompt, and often early for appointments or social engagements. When it comes to synagogue one is supposed to arrive early so that they can enter into the right framework of mind to address God and not rush in and simply begin to rattle through the words of the book.

On the later side of the prayer service we become ever so conscious of the “end time”. OMG if the minute hand sweeps past the 12 and we end after Noon. 11:45 is expected and 11:30 is a welcomed reality but past noon meant that something went terribly wrong or long. What however, if it meant that something went terribly right?

Fixed prayer is called Kevah, the stuff we have to say and what time of day we need to say it. Spontaneous and introspective prayer which leads to a different momentum and rhythm is called Kavannah, directed by one’s own soul. What if that day Kavannah took over the room?

A couple of months ago we hosted Spates Temple and Pastor Mark and Opal Smith. We were also pleased to welcome the Bourne family, a charming and talented family of nine siblings along with their mother. Services ended at 12:45 PM. To be honest, we did have a couple of congregants leave at the “bewitching hour” but nearly the totality of the room remained full until 12:45 PM. Why? Because services were engaging. They were exhilarating. They were intellectually and emotionally challenging.

They were different. That is the proverbial fur ball caught in the cat’s throat. Change is so hard to handle when it comes to prayer services. People like what they know.

They don’t like surprises. They want the familiar melodies.

Cantor Stoehr They want what they know, the “Traditional” way, and the way my Zeydie used to sing it. (cue Fiddler music) And “instruments are forbidden in shul at any time by Jewish Law” I was educated by one congregant when we brought it to Selichot services one year. They don’t like being surprised by being told not to yet rise when their Pavlovian impulse is to stand. They don’t like the Rabbi moving away from his podium, because that’s where the rabbi ALWAYS stands. Divert from the concretized order and chaos may ensue. “Where are the cling peaches in heavy syrup for God’s sake at the Kiddush luncheon? We always have those here”. And “LORD OH LORD” don’t sit in MY seat.

At CBS the matbeah (structure) we have for our Shabbat mornings, works for us, but can it work better? As we move towards summer I hope you welcome some experimentation in our service and embrace the newness of it, for while it may lead you down the “road less traveled” it may lead you to a place of radical amazement (to quote Dr. Abraham Joshua Heschel).

You will be pleased to note that our sanctuary seats do not come with seat belts and, unlike an airplane flight, one is welcomed to exit when one feels he/she must.

But I invite you to join me as we champion the mindset that we not surrender to the Tyranny of the Clock or Surrender to the Yearning of our Stomachs but rather Waltz with the Rhythms Dancing in our Souls.

Thanks to Stacy Ybarra, our Director of Education and the education department for helping to get our youth and families involved in the celebration of CBS’s 50th Anniversary by sponsoring the purchase of trees in honor of Tu B’Shevat to create a special CBS 50th Anniversary Grove in Israel.

From Our Past Presidents...

Donald Levine (1989 – 1991) When Donald was first asked to be president, he was reluctant. He was concerned that he wouldn’t be able to commit the necessary time. But his youngest daughter said, “Dad, they don’t ask too many people to be President.” That perspective, along with the knowledge he’d have the full support of his family, led Donald to say “yes”.

CBS Surprises and Satisfaction The Finances and the Building It was easy for Donald to name the biggest event during his term: we paid off the mortgage on the building! At the end of his term, CBS was financially very sound.

Donald credits Jack Knopoff and Harvey Gold for the planning and budgeting to get us to that point. During this time, we also had the beautiful stained glass windows installed in the sanctuary.

High Holidays Donald always enjoyed making the President’s speech during High Holidays, even though he was scared to death the first time. Speaking to 2,400 people can frighten anyone! It was very heartwarming to him that his mother was there to watch him deliver that first speech as President of the synagogue.

Other Donald was surprised how much members of the congregation really respected the position of President and how much credibility they afforded him because of his position. Also, although he came from a religious family, he learned a tremendous amount about Judaism while President. He also gained a better understanding of the work and challenges of the members of the professional staff.

Issues and Challenges Although it was a pretty calm time at CBS, it was the beginning of discussions about how we deal with members when one spouse is not Jewish and how to include the non-Jewish spouse in more aspects of CBS. But the very hardest part

One final note, Donald pointed out that “back in the day” at CBS, HE was the one known as “The Donald”.

Joel Greenman (1991 – 1993) CBS Surprises and Satisfaction Adding to Professional Staff During Joel’s term, the decision was made to expand the Professional Staff and hire an Assistant Rabbi. Although the actual process didn’t take place until after Joel’s Presidency, this decision has had a major impact on CBS. Also, Rabbi Wolkin completed his 13th year at CBS during this time.

Issues and Challenges Women’s Role Joel remembers his term as a pretty calm time, with no major issues. However, he said there were LOTS of discussions about the changing role of women in the synagogue. It might be hard for Gen Xers and Millennials to believe, but women didn’t always daven from the bima in Conservative synagogues! Joel remembers some passionate (but civil) discussions between those holding traditional views and those with a more liberal viewpoint.

Time Commitment Like many others, Joel said the role was very time consuming. It happened to coincide with a very busy time in his professional life, magnifying the impact.

Surprises The role was pretty much what Joel expected. He understood some people much better by the end of his term.

This Month in CBS History…

1990 – CBS creates new position of Ritual Director and we hire our first Ritual Director Mordechai Haber.

1991 – CBS Religious School donates funds to Operation Exodus for the rescue of Russian Jews.

1992 – CBS celebrates its Silver Jubilee with an evening of dining, dancing and entertainment.

1993 – CBS has huge and successful Art Fair with local and nationally acclaimed artists.

1994 – Men’s Club runs a hugely successful Road Rally and Treasure Hunt.

YOUTH/YOUNG FAMILY PROGRAMING Matt Rissien

Happy Purim and almost Passover!

I want to thank everyone who supported our USY Hamantashen and Hamilton fundraisers, they were a huge success! Our USY’ers have been working very hard this year to raise funds to start their very own CBS USY endowment, and the proceeds from these fundraisers will help them tremendously. We have even been fortunate to have a matching donor through December 31st who will match up to $15,000 of all funds raised towards their endowment.

We started a new program in February, Gan HaKatan, in partnership with JUF’s jBaby program, where families with children 10-24 months can come take Sunday classes in our youth lounge taught by The Little Gym. In just over a week we filled almost all the spots, and the class has been a huge success! We are hoping to continue this partnership beyond this first class.

I also just returned from staffing JUF’s Ta’am Yisrael trip, the community 8th grade trip to Israel. I had such a great time on the trip, and really developed great friendships with many of our CBS 8th graders. I hope that you will all get to hear stories from their trips at some point in the near future, because it was quite the worthwhile experience!

I want to wish everyone a terrific Passover holiday. Passover is always the time that I think about family, and after six years at Congregation Beth Shalom, you are all definitely a big part of my family.

Have a Chag Sameach, and I can’t wait to see everyone for a terrific end of the programming year!

LIBRARY LIBRARY “CHECK OUT” YOUR MARIAN RENEE SALTZBERG LRC/ IRVING RUBENSTEIN MEMORIAL LIBRARY Holidays at your Resource Center: Passover is a celebration of freedom. Each year, at our Seders we retell the story of our Exodus from Egypt more than three thousand years ago. We explain how, with the leadership of God’s messenger, Moses, our ancestors were freed from slavery and oppression.

Passover is a special time to remember and to reflect, to seek meaning and to hope, to share and to celebrate.

Below are three trivia questions about Passover: 1. Can you name the American president that was assassinated during Passover?

2. What does the dipping of parsley into salt water symbolize?

3. Can you name the 10 plagues that God inflicted on Egypt for enslaving the Jews?

If you can answer all three questions, stop by the resource center for a prize.

SISTERHOOD Leatte Gelfeld

Our Sisterhood Shabbat in January honored the past 50 years of Sisterhood. It was an honor to have many of the past presidents there with us that night. I would like to share the words that Dolly Graff, our third Sisterhood President, shared with us that evening.

“We were not in the original group who founded Beth Shalom but we joined the following year in 1968. We wanted to become active members of a congregation and boy did we succeed. In 1968 and onward, we called ourselves the Wandering Jews of Northbrook. We held services in the basement of Northbrook Trust & Savings Bank, The Village Church of Northbrook and then Greenbriar School. My children tell the story of the congregation. Our son celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at The Village Church. I remember getting there early so we could turn the pictures of Christ around to face the wall. My oldest daughter celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Greenbriar School and our youngest here in a barely finished first building.

To go back, Sisterhood had a corner in the office on Meadow Road. We tried to have a small gift shop there which worked out well.

In the early days Sisterhood met in members houses and worked from there. We catered the oneg Shabbats and worked from suitcases which carried all our prayer books, plates and cups. It was fun, and everyone pitched in to help. We had a station wagon so the suitcases often ended up in our car.

Sisterhood really became an important fundraising arm of our

new congregation. We tried many ways to raise funds and succeeded very well. We also developed a sense of community and comradery.

We all helped each other and became a large family. When I was president in 1973 it was the first time we sent a representative to the Women’s League Convention in New York. It was a very eye opening experience for me as it was the first time I had ever seen women counted in a minyan. I too was raised rather orthodox, but I saw this as the wave of the future. When I came back and proposed this to the men of the congregation it created a battle (in my own home too).

Eventually, as we all know now, women were counted and we are allowed on the bimah too.

We have come a long way from there. It has been an interesting and fascinating 50 years to watch this congregation grow from 50 families when we joined to today. Thank you for letting me share some memories with you.”

I really enjoyed hearing Dolly’s memories and I hope that you did too.
