Beth Israel- The West Temple

BULLETIN President's Message As I approach the culmination of my second two­year term as president, a difficult decision has been placed before me. I have been flattered and honored by many of you asking me to stay on for a third term as president. I know that in the past four years I have grown tremendously as a person and as a Jew. The support I've received from 'the congregation has been overwhelming. TIle Board of Trustees has been a strong and devoted group who have worked hard to shape temple policy and to represent your interests in all facets of temple life.

Some of our goals over the last four years have been accomplished as a labor of love. As the governing body of the temple, we all walk many paths in our daily lives and have too many pots on the stove without enough burners. It is that very sentiment that has led to my decision to step down from the position of president. I will still be on the Board as immediate past president, and will help the new president during transition and into the future.

My husband and my children have wholeheartedly supported me during my two terms as president. We, as a family, feel it is time to reap the benefits of more quality time together, especially in light of the pain of our recent tragic loss.

Thanks to the members of the board and to all of you . whose exemplary love and support assure the conti­

nuity and success of our congregation.

B'Shalom, Judy Friedman - President, Board o/Trustees

FROM THE RABBI'S DESK

The Future of Judaism TIle world in which we live is changing constantly and the rate of change is increasing exponentially, as we reach toward the 21st century. Like no other time in Jewish history, most Jews today struggle to construct meaningful Jewish lives in the face of increasingly confusing demands. Judaism, and the synagogue as its physical embodiment, must be an island of peace and an anchor of meaning. The synagogue is where we will actualize our Jewishness in an emotionally, intellectually, socially, and spiritu­ally stimulating environment, that supplements and reinforces the traditional center of Jewish life, the Jewish home. To perform its true function in the Jewish community, the synagogue must provide an emotionally safe and inclusive environment to all who wish to enter.

Many Jews today feel alienated from the heart of Jewish life. Meeting the challenge of blasting through that alienation is not for the faint of heart. It is a challenge that will test the concerted effort of all caring and committed Jews. Rabbis, educators, cantors. and lay leaders must work together as committed partners to provide accessible entry points, pathways, and caring guides to enable all Jews, and all who truly wish to become Jews, to enter the centuries old di,alogue with our texts and sources that embody the intellectual and spiritual life of the Jewish people. Along the way, the voices of the most alienated must be heard and honored, alongside the voices of those who have remained committed and engaged. lbgether, we must widen and deepen our circle with a warm embrace.

The accelerating spread of global information technology will force Judaism more and more into the open marketplace of ideas. Judaism's fundamen­tal ideas will be questioned and searched by expand­ing masses of people, Jews and non-Jews. Judaism, and specifically Reform Judaism" is prepared for this challenge. The question is: Are we Jews ready? Rabbi Ariel Walsh

Please tum to page 10 for the Service and Participa­tion Schedule.

Get to Know Us As chair of the Ritual Committee for the last six years, I have had the honor of working with People dedicated to fulfilling the spiritual life of being Jews. As I end my tenure as chair, I want to thank the many people over these six years who helped me realize the organization of the Ritual Committee. By assigning you a part of the service, Aliyah, Hagbah, Galilah, host and Usher, we have tried to make Friday and Saturday Shabbat services and the High Holidays meaningful and the day of Shabbat peaceful. WE in tu~ thank Rabbi Ariel Walsh for guiding us in Torah and Martha Bruckman, the lady with the golden voice, for calling the weekly participants.

For the last number of months, I have used this column to introduce you to the great people who I thank from the bottom of my heart for their commit­ment. Now, as the Ritual Committee ends its two year term, I'd like you to meet another member of our team, Scott MachoI. Scott writes:

I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1949, 11 years after my parents and brother left Germany to escape the Holocaust. My mother worked as a dress pattern maker and my father worked as a furniture

refinisher. He owned a dry goods store in Germany before he left the country.

We were members of Mil waukee's largest Refonn synagogue, Congregation Emanuel B 'ne Jeshurun from the time I can remember until I came to Oeve­land in 1973. I attended Religious School two days each week until 8th grade. I became a Bar Mitzvah with another boy on November 10, 1962. The teacher that had the greatest influence on me in Religious School was my Hebrew teacher, Ateret Cohen.

While attending the University of Wisconsin-Mil­waukee, I was a member of Hillel, the Jewish Student Union, and a Conservative Jewish youth group, ATID. I attended services at my parents' synagogue as well as a Conservativ'e synagogue on the West Side of Milwaukee.

After graduating from college, I accepted a position with the USEPA in Fairview Park. I made several phone calls before finding out out that Beth Israel existed. The weekend before moving here I had lunch with Maxine Slone and Evy Rosenblum.That meeting gave me a warm feeling about Beth Israel and helped make my decision about finding accommodations in the western suburbs. I have been a member for nearly 25 years and am still enjoying it. My wife, Barbara, and I met in 1977 and we were married in'1979. Barbara and I have been married for 19 wonderful years and have three children. Besides volunteering at Beth Israel, I enjoy running. stamp collecting, and cave exploration.

Shalom, Stephanie Gordon - Ritual Chair

. EDUCATION NOTES .

Oh, those lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer! A time for (hopefully!) a less hectic pace, when the family can take the time for each other without having to run off in too many directions. TIle summer days and nights offer us so many opportunities for slowing down and taking the time to appreciate each other ... and celebrating Shabbat. Why not? The time is perfect for a relaxed family meal, sharing of stories, talking about Jewish things, and even coming to temple for services (in the air-conditioned comfort of Ratner Hall!). And don't forget, the temple library is open all summer long - a great resource for summer reading, great Jewish videos, and new audio cassettes and COS. Check it out!

This summer many of our students will be experi­encing Jewish summer camp for the first time at the Goldman Union Camp Institute in Zionsville, Indiana. This camp is sponsored by the UAHC and draws campers from all over the mid-west and central U.S. The tuition for camp was subsidized through a very generous grant from an anonymous Cleveland family, along with funds from the Rabbi's Discretionary Fund. What a great opportunity for our youngsters! Have fun: Becky Cooper, Natalie Davis, Shaina and Matthew Friedman, Paige, Jessica, and Stephany Goodworth, Ben and Rachel Kaplan, Abby Lader, Leslie and Joel Pendery, Kenneth and Michael Robinson, Ben Walsh, and Rayna Girson.

And a Nesiya Tovah (a good trip)to Lillian Davis as she travels to Israel this summer on the Nesiya Summer Program for High School students. She will spend four weeks on an arts-oriented tour of Israel, studying with teachers and perfonners representing a wide variety of Israeli arts and ideas.

SUMMER HEBREW FUN DAYS We have set aside two Sundays this summer for the students and adults in our Hebrew programs. Keep up your Hebrew and have fun at the same time! We'll look for you on July 26 and August 16.Watch the Bulletin for more details.

CONGREGATIONAL HAVDALAH PICNICS Marie your summer calendars now for our Havdalah Picnics on Saturday, July 18 and August 22. The August date coincides with Rosh Chodesh Elul, the new month of Elul, and will include a special program turning our attention to the High Holy Days (including the blowing of the shofar!). Watch the Bulletin for locations and details.
