April 26, 2013 TRIBUTES TO RABBI SANDY

from the RRA Convention, March 10, 2013

All across the country and beyond, there are young women planning to go to rabbinical school. What unites them is that they have been born into a world where they can make this decision without a moment's hesitation. Indeed, they have never known a world where it wasn’t so. All of this didn’t just happen. Someone had to be willing to ignore the chorus of no, you can't. Someone had to be willing to listen more closely to her inside voice, saying you have gifts to give, than to the outside voices, saying your gifts don't belong on the bimah. For me, and for so many others, that someone is Sandy Sasso. Sandy has never tried to be anything other than who she is: a woman who deeply understands herself and her feminism; and a rabbi who is deeply connected to her Judaism, her faith, and her community. In those early days when there was lots of pressure to choose—am I a woman who happens to be a rabbi or a rabbi who happens to be a woman, Sandy resisted the choice, proudly asserting both truths as though there was no dichotomy. And therefore there was none. (excerpted from Rabbi Joy Levitt’s remarks)

Saturday Evening, May 18, 7:30 p.m.

A Gala Evening of Dinner and Dancing at the JW Marriott Hotel (Reservations by May 1)

Affirmation: A Letter to Rabbi Sandy (excerpted)

by Rabbi Rachel Gartner

Dear Sandy, The ordination of women, one of your generation of Jewish women’s most monumental accomplishments, has become my generation of Jewish women’s most cherished inheritance. What was so hard won for you, has now become almost commonplace for us. Increasingly removed from your experience, it can be hard for younger women rabbis to appreciate it. Indeed, you lived through it, so we don’t have to. And for that we are deeply grateful. Sandy – God Remembers, and so do we.

Rabbi Dennis Sasso Receives Rabbi Ira Eisenstein Award for Distinguished Rabbinic Service The Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association presented the prestigious annual Rabbi Ira Eisenstein Award for Distinguished Rabbinic Service to Rabbi Dennis Sasso at the RRA Convention, March 12, 2013. Rabbi Eisenstein was founder of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, now celebrating its forty-fifth year. Excerpts from the Presentation by Rabbi Richard Hirsh: Dennis has had a remarkably rich and diverse career in Indianapolis, where he has not only enriched the life of his congregation and of the Jewish community, but has been an active and engaged participant in the interfaith, civic, and political life of the community. Dennis and Sandy have been and are widely recognized as the “chief rabbis of Indiana.” It is a rabbinate that embodies the deepest meaning of living in two civilizations. All that Ira Eisenstein had in 1968, when he opened the doors of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, was a vision and a hope. It fell to Rabbis like Dennis and Sandy and their colleagues of the earliest years of the College and RRA to translate those hopes and that faith into something tangible and real. Dennis, your affirming, interpreting and commmunicating the key insights of Mordecai Kaplan’s vision has kept us intellectually honest and in touch with our roots.

SKLARE SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED The Sklare family has endowed the Ronald Nathan Sklare Scholarship Fund, honoring the memory of Ronald Nathan Sklare by providing merit scholarships to deserving students entering eleventh or twelfth grade. This generous gift offers young people of our congregation the opportunity to visit Israel. This year’s recipients are Rebecca Owens, daughter of David and Randee Owens, and Zachary Horowitz, son of Howard Horowitz and Natalie Sapper. Rebecca will be traveling with Goldman Union Camp, where she has been a long-time camper, and Zachary with Camp Livingston, where he has spent many summers. We are grateful to the Sklare family for funding these scholarships, which help our young people strengthen their connection with the State of Israel and their Jewish roots.

Early Childhood Center

We celebrated our largest and most exciting event of the year, LOLLIPALOOZA on April 26.

Then the children proudly sold the unique pieces of artwork they created during the school year. Topping off the morning was a fabulous Silent Auction, filled with many items and services. Thanks to all our wonderful parents, grandparents and friends for their support in helping to make our wishes come true. We look forward to Kindergarten graduation, May 22, as our capped and gowned graduates proudly walk down the aisle of the Kaufman-Schuchman Chapel to receive their diplomas. Beth-El Zedeck’s Manuel and Diana Leve Summer Camp 2013 will begin Session 1 on June 3. We have an awesome summer planned for children ages 12 months through 5 years +.

In Our Libraries Our library continues to expand. Some new books that we have added recently to our collection include: Greenhorn, by Anna Olswanger, a powerful story that gives human dimension to the Holocaust. It poignantly underscores our flawed humanity and speaks to the healing value of friendship. It is a good introduction to the Holocaust for children in middle school and the type of book that families will want to read together. Another addition to our library is Howard Fast: Life and Literature in the Fast Lane by Gerald Sorin. It is a biography of the prolific Jewish writer and illuminates the connections among Fast’s Jewishness, his writings, and his left-wing politics. The book recounts the story of his private and public life with its adventure and risk, love and pain, struggle, failure, and success. Sorin also addresses questions such as the relationship between modern Jewish identity and radical movements, the consequences of political myopia, and the complex interaction of art, popular culture, and politics in 20th-century America. The Beth-El Zedeck Book Club will meet on May 13, at Phyllis Ackerman’s home. They will discuss The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million by Daniel Mendelson. The Illene K. and Michael B. Maurer Library and the Daisy Baker Zaft collection grew through donations made in honor of the birthdays of Georgia Klinzing and Sophia Ozdemir. The Alpert/Solotken Adult Library grew through a donation to the Maurice and Lillian Horowitz Book Fund by Ed and Phyllis Gabovitch in honor of Chuck Echt’s birthday. Happy birthday! The library appreciates your generosity! Please stop by the library on Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and say hi or come any time to enjoy all that it has to offer. Feel free to contact me at librarian@bez613.org if I can help you find a book that interests you. Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future. Ray Bradbury
