Social Scene

From The Chairman

A

nd so it goes. We have new officers in place for another year and it looks like we have a great team to lead us into the future. All is well here at Touro Fraternal Association.

It has been an interesting year, from my perspective, as I begin my twelfth term as chairman. I thought about stepping aside and allowing others to step up and grab the reins to take on the responsibilities that go along with the job. I thought long and I thought hard and decided that I had to do at least one more year.

Why? Wow, a tough question to answer.

Over the last 38 years, there have been only three chairmen of the Board: Marshall Bornstein, Arthur Poulten (sitting chairman emeritus) and myself.

There have been many changes and issues over those years and each of us has guided Touro through these and strengthened our core values of Harmony, Friendship and Benevolence.

Our building continues to be the hub we envisioned, maintaining a focal point for monthly meetings, committee meetings, special events and a hall available for family functions for our members. It really is the place for us to call home.

We have developed a system for grooming and developing our officers to maintain a solid group of our volunteer leadership. Touro does run like a well-oiled machine. We are active in the community supporting those causes we can, both financially and with manpower, when needed.

My goal for this year is to continue to develop our future leaders. I will begin to delegate more of my responsibilities as chairman to those who might be interested in carrying on the torch. I have asked those members of the board having this desire to submit to me an e-mail stating why they want to be chairman and why they think they are qualified to do so. Over the course of this next year, I will begin assigning duties and responsibilities to these individuals in addition to allowing them to conduct a board meeting or two.

I also have a personal goal to achieve, since in my eleven years as chairman, I have yet to miss one board meeting. I intend to make it twelve.

Fraternally, Robert D. Miller-Chairman Board of Directors

By Andrew Liss Vice President, Friendship Lodge

H

ello, my name is Andrew Liss and I am the new Vice President of Friendship Lodge.

Today, I am writing my first “Social Scene” column for the Tourogram; I do hope you enjoy it.

I want to report the amazing Annual Dinner Dance we had at the Venus De Milo, on Saturday, June 9. The food was fantastic, and the Ed Massa Band was right in tune.

On June 27, Touro Hall was filled with members to hear from the Touro-sponsored students who had just returned from the “March of the Living Experience” this past spring.

Tuesday, July 3rd Touro returned to the PawSox for an evening filled with baseball and great fireworks.

There are several events coming up in the next few months, and I am hoping everyone can attend.

Saturday, August 25th - Newport Playhouse & Cabaret. Back again to see “Squabbles” which is set in an apartment in Stamford, CT. It pits a father-in-law against a mother in a succession of squabbles. Doors open at 6 pm. The buffet opens at 6:15. Make your reservations early, it is sure to be a sellout.

Wednesday, September 19th - Harmony lodge presents the roast of our beloved brother, Milton Bronstein. Be there to go back over the years and share a laugh or two. Milton has helped shape Touro Fraternal in becoming the proud association it is today.

Thursday, October 18th - The Membership Committee is holding a membership drive at Dave and Buster's at Providence Place Mall. This includes a buffet and power card–all for only $20. There will be a private room, with team games too. This is a first for this kind of an event, so don’t miss out. Bring a friend, and show him what Touro Fraternal is all about. Doors open at 6:00 pm.

Saturday, October 20th - Our next Two-fer at Nino’s on Lake Tiogue in Coventry. More information to follow, as this date draws closer.

Wednesday, October 24th - Friendship Lodge presents our PreElection coverage with NPR columnist Scott MacKay. Gain valuable political insight and have a delicious meal with your brothers.

More details to come.

Well, that is my report. We hope to see you soon. Any questions, feel free to call the office, email at info@tourofraternal.org or message on Facebook.

One last thing, if you can, please bring to the next meeting a non-perishable kosher food item for the Louis and Goldie Chester Full Plate Kosher Food Pantry, to help out the less fortunate.

Thank you. ~ ~

TOUROGRAPHY: DAVID BRANDT

By Jed Brandes

Y

ou might ask: What qualities must a brother possess to inspire the Communications Committee to write his Tourography? First and foremost, he should be a mensch.

Also, we gravitate toward brothers who are active in the association. This could mean participation as a lodge officer or board member. Or, it could be as simple as regular attendance at lodge meetings and other functions. But mostly, we like to tell a good story. And so, we submit for your enjoyment, the tale of David Brandt.

David was born in Germany. His family was fortunate to leave Germany, immigrate to Russia and then journey through Mongolia and China. Finally, in 1949 at the age of 18, David came to the United States. By 1951, he had been drafted and was sent to Korea in 1953.

Upon his return to the states, David earned a degree at the American Culinary Institute. He jumped into his new profession, working the night shift as a cook for Johnson Hammocks. Shortly thereafter, in 1960, he married Shirley Wilk (Touro President Sam’s first cousin). Together they have three children and three grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Jordan Harpel, recently spoke at the Touro Steak Fry. He received a Touro grant that helped him participate in the March of the Living.

David spent the rest of his career as a restaurateur. For 20 years, he was a partner at the renowned Fore ‘n Aft Restaurant

in Bristol. This was followed by 14 years as the owner of the Bo James Restaurant in Providence.

David became active with Rhode Island Jewish Fraternal Association, serving as its treasurer, then president and chairman. When the association dissolved, he was instrumental in liquidating its assets. In this role, he arranged for several cemetery plots to be sold to Touro. The proceeds of those sales were donated to charity as the association’s final act. Today he is active in the community working on the Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial.

Now in his retirement, David primarily keeps himself busy with golf. He and his partner Len Buckler shoot three rounds each week at Cranston Country Club. He also enjoys regular trips to Fenway Park, where he recently attended the 100th Anniversary game. And he attends Celtics games with his son, who has a season subscription.

David has an interesting take on what he finds compelling about Touro. Like most of the brothers, he enjoys the great events and camaraderie. And certainly, he appreciates all the good Touro does in the community. But he also marvels at all the hard work done by the leadership. He ruefully suggests that if Rhode Island Jewish Fraternal had had brothers with such dedication, it would still exist!

So there you have it! A mensch who comes to meetings, and has a good story to tell!

More Ways to Communicate

By Lester Nathan, President, Friendship Lodge

A

s the old saying goes, “one door closes, another one opens”. My two years as Social Committee co-chairman have concluded, and so begins my first term as Friendship Lodge president.

I thank Ried Redlich, our outgoing president, for the time and effort he devoted to Touro during the past three years. I appreciate all the knowledge and information he has given me about my new duties and responsibilities.

I look forward to a solid partnership with my fellow lodge officers.

In my new role, I have graduated within the Tourogram from the Social Scene column to the President’s Report. I plan to share with you my perspective on Touro’s social activities, how well the regular events have gone, some new event ideas and ways to increase member participation.

Communicating information has always been important to me. One year after joining Touro, I volunteered to join the Communications Committee and work on the Tourogram. I’ve served as a writer, photographer and proofreader.

In the earlier years, event flyers, meeting announcements

and the Tourogram were our primary means of communication.

During the nineties, the Internet emerged as a new communication medium. We worked to design Touro’s first website and popularize its usage during the 2000s. This allowed the social calendar and event flyers to be available on-line. More recently, we’ve: ●

●

●

Used iContact to send out e-mail reminders prior to events Built a group page on Facebook, allowing member feedback Redesigned our website, which utilizes FLICKR, a photograph application and ISSU, a document archival application

As you might guess, the committee has a lot going on, both in print and on the internet. We’ve also found many clever ways to link them together, such as linkage between the website and iContact to a flyer file. We have more enhancements in the pipeline and I am sanguine about the future. But the bottom line is this: great communication tools are only a means to an end; we need your support and participation to make them worthwhile. ~ ~

n Wednesday, May 23rd, the Touro membership gathered at Touro headquarters for the annual installation of officers, preceded by another well-catered brisket dinner.

After most of the monthly business meeting was conducted by Chairman Robert Miller, he handed the gavel to the evening’s installing officer, Ed Deluty. Michael Smith, as master of ceremonies, administered the oaths of office. The first three brothers to be installed were board members Jed Brandes, Andrew Lamchick and Nathan Lury. The next three brothers, also installed as board members, were Robert Miller, Barry Schiff and Bruce Weisman.

Lodge officer installations followed those of the Once, Twice, Thrice! directors. Harmony Lodge’s officers for the upcoming Master of Ceremony year will be President Norman Dinerman, Vice PresiMichael Smith dent Jeffrey Padwa, Treasurer Manochehr Norparvar closes the Installation and Secretary Andrew Shuster, who will be serving his first term of office. Friendship Lodge’s officers will be President Lester Nathan, Vice President Andrew Liss, Treasurer Michael Levin and Secretary Richard Cohen.

After Brother Smith completed the oaths of office for each group, Installing Officer Deluty followed with some informative and amusing remarks about each brother.

President Dinerman took the opportunity to thank House Committee Chairman Nate Lury, outgoing lodge president Ried Redlich and the Friendship Lodge officers for their past work, as well as welcoming Andrew Shuster to the team. He concluded by saying: “To end, I would just like to say how lucky we are to have a place that we can come to as Jews, where we fight, bicker, and do good deeds for the community, and where at the end of the day, we have incredible friendships … like Ed Cooley says, ‘I love you man’ ”.

Incoming President Nathan thanked Ried Redlich for his help. He then reflected on the last two years he spent as co-chairman of the Social Committee and its connections with his service on the Communications, Orientation, Ritual and Membership Committees. He encouraged participation from our new members, either as officers, committee service or via community involvement. Afterwards, he called brother Redlich up to the stage for a gift presentation.

It was then Ried’s turn to make a thank-you speech. Master of Ceremonies Smith concluded the ceremony with the final declaration. In appreciation for Ried’s efforts during the past three years, he was presented with a past president’s sweater and a plaque by Chairman Miller at the end of the business meeting.

All of the mentioned brothers have stepped up and given of their time so that Touro Fraternal can move forward and flourish through our centennial year of 2018. Let us thank them by also stepping (l-r) Outgoing President Ried Redlich up and giving service in the same manner as receives his president's plaque from they have.

Israeli Consul Pays a Visit to Rhode Island

ED COOLEY: Don't Call Me Coach

T

By Howard Wasser

he guest speaker for the April 18th meeting was basketball coach Ed Cooley of the Providence College Friars. We were expecting mostly basketball talk, including stats, new recruits and prospects for the coming season.

What we got was a talk about life lessons.

Ed said a big reason he agreed to speak at Touro was because of the good work we do for the community. He said that he may have been the recipient of our goodwill. Ed had a hard upbringing and many times found himself at a shelter or food bank. Fortunately, he was taken in by a great family who allowed him to reach his potential. He attended Central High School, where he was twice the Rhode Island Player of the Year.

Before college, he spent a year in New Hampshire at the New Hampton School. While there, he met a teammate from Maine who was looking at him curiously. Ed asked him what the problem was; the teammate had never seen a black person. As luck would have it, these two men became the best of friends and still are to this day.

From there Ed went to Stonehill College. He was basketball team captain for three years and earned Northeast-10 all-academic honors.

Following college, he taught history before climbing the coaching ladder. His first assistant coaching job was at UMass, followed by jobs with Al Skinner at URI and then BC. Finally, a head coaching job came his way at Fairfield. They made the NIT Tournament in his last year as coach, which led to his current job at PC. Ed explained that it is not easy coaching men 18 to 22 years of age. There are times when he is their father rather than coach. He tells them to call him at any time (even if there is trouble). Things are looking up for PC as the incoming class is one of the best in the country. Ed did make a point of saying: “Don’t call me coach. Coaching is what I do, not who I am”

hose who attended the March lodge meeting had the opportunity to meet our special guest Ronit Nudelman Pearl, Deputy Consul General of the Israeli Consulate of New England, and learn about today’s life in Israel. The evening included a business meeting, conducted by Harmony Lodge, and was followed by a wonderful dairy dinner.

First, some background on Consul Pearl. After serving her military service and attending Hebrew University, she began her career as an educational advisor. Later, in 1992, she was accepted into the prestigious Cadet’s Course at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1994, Ms. Pearl worked closely with MASHAV, Israel’s Agency for International Development and Cooperation.

Ronit moved with her husband, Baruch, and their three daughters, to the Boston suburbs several years ago. Coming from a warm climate, the family needed some time to become acclimated to New England and its four seasons. Another difference, she mentioned, was that after growing up in a secular environment, living in the America had made her feel more connected to her Jewish identity.

Consul Pearl discussed her responsibilities in the consulate, where there are two principal diplomats, the Consul General and the Deputy Consul General. Boston is one of the nine Israeli consulates in the U.S. And while the Consul General position is political, hers is not.

Consul Pearl made an analogy between Israel and Rhode Island – both are small “states,” but have much different kinds of neighbors. Nonetheless, changes are occurring very quickly in the region. There is presently a rebellion in Syria and tensions remain high in Egypt. She said that Israel needs to be very careful as her neighbors are waiting for her to make a wrong move. When asked about President Obama, she felt that he has made very good changes, especially with regards to Iran.

One current domestic problem, brought up by a Touro member, is the protest over housing. The government is trying to do something about that, as well as have discussions with the Palestinians. But, she said, it’s “very difficult to offer packages and deals when the other side doesn’t want to sit down with you.”

When asked about the ultra-Orthodox, she stated that Israel was founded as a religious state and the government doesn’t support them any more than “others,” such as Shas.

To conclude the Q&A session, she cited several impressive facts about the Middle East’s only true democracy: ◆ Israel’s GDP is almost $30,000 per capita ◆ Growth rate is currently 4.7% and the unemployment rate is 5.5% ◆ Israel has the second most NASDAQ-listed companies, after the U.S. ◆ Life expectancy is up to 81 years, 8th in the world ◆ Israel is #2 in developing clean energy ◆ It has the highest number of lawyers per capita in the whole world ~ ~

Coach Ed Cooley Motivates Touro's Open House

By Andy Lamchick, Membership Chairman

O

nce a year, we put on our best face for prospective new Touro Members during our annual New Member Open House. This year was no different!

We brought out a new PowerPoint presentation to explain what Touro is all about.

Next, we served up our traditional Open House meal of K.B.C. (kosher baked chicken) with all the fixin’s. Then we pulled out our trump card ... our guest speaker: Providence College basketball coach and Providence native, Ed Cooley. The Coach captivated the crowd with his stories of growing up in Providence, building a team, and all around motivational discussion. Coach Cooley was dynamic, and complimentary, when speaking about the greatness of our organization. All who attended agreed that the Coach was one of the finest speakers we’ve ever had in our building. When all was said and done, our members went home with full stomachs, motivation, and the knowledge that there

will be some new brothers joining Touro soon.

Now, I’d like to announce our next opportunity for Touro members to share our organization with their family and friends.

We will conduct a Tourothon at Dave and Buster's in the Providence Place Mall. No, this is not a fundraiser! It’s a fun event including video games, a full buffet and some friendly competition. Here’s the perfect opportunity to target “regular” members at a brand new, fun event. It will take place Thursday, October 18th. Yes, I said Thursday. We wanted to have an event on a different night to see if we can open it up to some members with Wednesday conflicts. We’ll have many more details as the event progresses, but for now, I encourage you to line up prospective “regular” members to join our phenomenal organization! You can expect some prizes for the member who signs up the most new “regular” members. Good luck, and get ready to take on your brothers for a fun night!!!

Touro Cemetery Update

Touro Continues the Act of Giving

By Steven White, Community Involvement Chairman

T

ouro Fraternal Association has had another successful quarter of helping out the Rhode Island community. We have helped out several organizations. Recently, the Community Involvement Committee voted to donate money to the RI Community Food Bank and luckily, there was a matching donation program going on.

We also donated to the RI Jewish Seniors Agency. We helped them purchase an iPad for use at the Seniors Nursing Home.

They intend to use the high tech piece of equipment to challenge senior citizens with games to keep their minds sharp.

We also voted on donating to the URI Hillel for the purpose of sponsoring Shabbat dinners. This is a great way for the URI students who intend to stay in RI to see that there are organizations they might wish to join after graduation.

We also participated in cooking for the Ronald McDonald House. A delicious chicken salad dinner was prepared by Chef Andy Liss, assisted by Bruce Nasberg and yours truly.

The Committee will continue to look for causes to participate in. Whether it is a walk to help raise money, participate in helping at a soup kitchen, or maybe volunteering at a hospital.

I will be asking you, the membership, to think hard and let me know your ideas. Email me at white1110928@yahoo.com.

ouro has added to its holdings at Lincoln Park Cemetery.

The land, previously owned by the Rhode Island Jewish Fraternal Association, has been designated for use by single regular Touro members and assigned in rotation as needed.

Perpetual Care will be the responsibility of the member’s family. It will be assessed and payable at the rate being charged by the Chased Schel Amess Association at the time of the internment. Checks payable to Touro Fraternal Association will be collected by the funeral director handling the arrangements and forwarded to Touro.

All Touro regular members are entitled to a plot on Touro land, in rotation, as long as they are available. There is no cost for the plot but the member’s family is responsible for perpetual care. The member may reserve the adjoining plot for his surviving spouse at a cost set by the Touro Board of Directors. If the member is predeceased by his spouse, the adjoining gravesite will be reserved for the member.

When a plot is used or reserved, a deed is issued by Touro and the land becomes the property of the owner and/or his or her family. Responsibility for its upkeep rests with the owner and within regulations set by the Chased Schel Amess Association, operators of Lincoln Park Cemetery.

Classes will be open to all Touro members and their significant others. Singles are welcome. Lessons will be conducted by a qualified instructor. Game play will be included each evening. Others will be dependent upon your participation. There is a sign-up fee of $30 (As with our Lodge meetings, $5 will be refunded at each lesson when you arrive). Come to all six lessons and your participation is free! After six lessons, if there is continued interest, a regular game at Touro Hall will be arranged. ~ ~

Lessons are scheduled on the following Sundays: December 16, 2012 January 13, 2013 January 27, 2013 February 17, 2013 February 24, 2013 March 10, 2013

Touro’s New Website Launched in May

By Lester Nathan

T

he Communications Committee re-launched Touro’s website, www.tourofraternal.org, on May 7th. Fully redesigned and enhanced, it replaces the old website which was 10 years old. The Committee used an outside resource, Tim Gaulin, as its technical developer and created a special subcommittee. The team completed the project on schedule and also selected a new web hosting site, GoDaddy.com.

The new Home Page is divided into four sections.

The top section features four photos from recent events with the site menu underneath. The center area will be used for upcoming events, with a link to the flyer or for important messages. In the left-hand column, links to Facebook, Twitter and flyers for the next two events appear, while the right-hand column contains links to the Photos and Tourogram pages.

The What is Touro? page shows our new membership brochure, which can be viewed as a digital book. The next page is reserved for Touro history, currently a work in-progress. The Membership page contains links to application forms and lists our member benefits.

The Calendars page displays our upcoming events. By clicking on an event, the program displays its description with a link to the flyer (which can be downloaded and printed). A link to a calendar of Jewish holidays is found on the bottom of the page.

The Photos page contains photos from our last two events, and each is viewable as a slideshow. There are also links to past events on our new FLICKR (a photography program) page. The latest edition of the Tourogram page also opens up like a book.

Back issues will be archived in ISSU (an archival program) instead of on the website and are linked to this page.

The Leadership page is revamped and links to the Committee page, which describes what the committees do. Members can send e-mails to the committee chairmen using the links attached to the committee names. The last page, Contact Us, contains the various ways to contact and find Touro.

Finally, a QR code, used by smart phones for scanning and linking to the website, has been created for future use in Touro’s ads and other publicity. Overall, the new website technology brings Touro into the 21st century. Further enhancements are being planned.
