THIS MONTH HaHodesh
AT CHIZUK AMUNO CONGREGATION AND SCHOOLS Engaging Jewish Life & Learning AUGUST 2018 | Av / Elul 5778
RABBI’S COLUMN Being that this is my first HaHodesh article as your new senior rabbi, I find it hard not to focus on transition. In the biblical narrative that we RABBI JOSHUA GRUENBERG are currently reading, there are two liminal realities that are challenging the people at the same time. Moses is nearing the end of his tenure as the leader of the Children of Israel, and Joshua (purely coincidence, or is it?) is set to take over. In addition, the people are about to eschew their nomadic ways for a more permanent existence in the land of Israel. Throughout this arduous process the nation experiences a wide range of emotions and challenges which I believe serve to remind us that despite the difficulty of these transitory moments in our lives, they are necessary times of unease and discomfort which keep our lives moving forward. This is a liminal moment for the entire Chizuk Amuno community and the Gruenberg family as well. It is both heartwarming and sacred that we navigate these transitional waters together. Change is not easy, as it thrashes us out of a comfort zone and forces us into the unknown. Despite the discomfort we might feel, it is often through these experiences from which we learn about ourselves and our personal and communal threshold for growth and advancement. I can’t tell you how excited the Gruenberg family is to grow together with this incredible community. Though we will not pledge to be Ravens fans (sorry), we cannot wait to be immersed in the incredible Baltimore and Chizuk Jewish communities. On a personal note, I am most excited to honor all that my incredible predecessors have Continued on Page 2

Shabbat Mornings
Liminal moments are also an important time for gratitude. My mother has a daily gratitude alarm on her phone that reminds her once a day simply to be thankful. While her children (present company included) deride her daily alarm, in reality it is a consistent ritual that all of us would do well to practice. We have been fortunate for the last seven years to be a part of a wonderful community in Yardley, Pennsylvania. They enriched our lives in every way possible, and we will be forever grateful and blessed for the time we spent with the Beth El community there.

LIVE STREAMING AVAILABLE IN THE SANCTUARY ON SHABBAT MORNINGS Beginning on August 25! Thanks to the generosity of the family of Lillian and Stanley Wilen, of blessed memory, and the support of Rabbi Wechsler and the Religious Life Committee led by Jeff Snyder, the congregation has installed equipment to provide remote video access to our Shabbat morning services. This live streaming of our services will enable those who are not physically capable of being at Chizuk Amuno to see, hear, and join in our Sanctuary services via computer from their home. While we test our new equipment and experiment with the capabilities, our services will be accessed by request through a dedicated website link we can send via email. Those interested in accessing a particular Shabbat morning service are invited to contact Glenn Easton at GEaston@ChizukAmuno.org for the link. In addition to Shabbat morning services, we will be able to provide live streaming of any program, lecture, or activity in our sanctuary. Please watch for future information about these opportunities. Our sincere appreciation to Sam Wilen, Judy Wilen, and Debra Schwartz, the children of Lillian and Stanley Wilen, for honoring the memory of their parents in such a meaningful and impactful way.
During the process of our courtship with Chizuk and in the subsequent time, we have been welcomed in this community by everyone we have been fortunate enough to meet. I wish I could mention every name, but I am told I have a word limit in this article. I want to offer a special thank you to Sandi Moffet, Stephen Pomerantz and the entire search committee for everything that they did during this process. Being on a rabbinic search committee is a full-time job, and we are a lucky community to have such devoted volunteers. Throughout this process, the professional staff of Chizuk has been an invaluable source of strength and council for our entire family, and I am incredibly excited to work together with such a talented and expert team. I need to thank my children Sam and Kayla, who have been nothing short of wonderful during a time of scary transition. Finally, I want to thank my partner in life Elissa, who is the stabilizing force in our family and our entire lives. Liminal moments are scary! But they are also opportunities to transform our lives and reach heights previously unimaginable. I look forward to our bright future together.

An uncharismatic history professor and expert on totalitarian leaders, feels unappreciated both by his students and his bossy wife. One Sabbath weekend, at the 90th birthday party of his wife’s grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, he finds himself in a situation that forces him to confront history, family and his own self. 10 p.m. Selihot Service “Service of Forgiveness” Selihot is a unique and moving late night “Service of Forgiveness” that starts the High Holy Day season. It is a spiritual and evocative evening that challenges us to reflect upon our past deeds and experiences and encourages us to consider personal and religious goals for future growth and change. Before our Selihot Service begins, the Torah Scrolls in the ark are publicly changed into their white High Holy Day covers which symbolize the freshness and purity of the coming New Year.

MEMBERSHIP MATTERS Thank you to our generous members who renew their membership, contribute meaningfully to support our congregation and schools, and enable us to fulfill our mission of finding meaning, strengthening faith, and, creating community. Each year, when the membership renewal letters are sent, we are overwhelmed and heartened by the hundreds of families that immediately respond with their membership contributions and good wishes for our new year. This demonstration of support for our congregation and schools allows us to profoundly affect the lives of thousands of our members and their extended families. We understand that some cannot afford our full membership contribution request. Our policy is that no child goes without a religious education and no family is turned away from membership due to financial hardship. Rather, we encourage contributions at a level reflecting individual financial ability. This is made possible by the generosity of those who support our Annual Appeal and other fundraising projects. If you have a financial challenge, please call our Executive Director, Glenn Easton, at the synagogue office. Chizuk Amuno Congregation has so much to offer each of us. If there is more that you need or want for you or your family, I want to extend a personal invitation to reach out to us with suggestions, questions, or a simple request for ways to be a part of our wonderful community. You may phone us at 410-486-6400 or email us at info@chizukamuno.org. Thank you for your continuing support. Sincerely, Bob Hallock Vice President for Membership Engagement
WELCOME NEW STAFF We are pleased to welcome John Earle to our maintenance staff as our new Building Engineer/Superintendent. John joins us with over twenty years of experience as a building engineer, heating and air conditioning technician, fire systems specialist, and general contractor with experience in plumbing, electrical repairs, and painting. John will help us maintain our expansive building, oversee our upcoming air conditioning replacements, supervise our classroom LED lighting project, and work with our staff to service, repair, and improve our building and grounds. We also welcome Jose Varga to our full-time maintenance staff. Jose has been working part-time on weekends until this summer. John and Jose join our dedicated and long standing maintenance team of Ernie Lancaster, Winston Williams, and Lonnie Heckstall. Please join us in thanking our entire maintenance staff for their work and years of service when you see them at the synagogue.

As we move towards the end of summer, we look forward to the exciting year ahead. With Rabbi Gruenberg in position as our senior Rabbi and many subcommittees already hard at work, our Hazzan search is in full swing. Members of our committee are working with the Cantor’s Assembly to provide information about Chizuk Amuno so that they may facilitate our search. Shortly we will begin community conversations in order to discuss our dreams for the next Hazzan of our congregation. This will be followed by a survey distributed to our community to further gather information about our vision for our next Hazzan. After we begin receiving resumes upon the conclusion of the holidays, we will work as a committee to vet and to conduct preliminary interviews with potential candidates. In the immediate term, we are grateful to welcome Hazzan Joel Lichterman for our interim year as we work to identify our next Hazzan. Newly Emeritus, very experienced, and steeped in the tradition of our sacred music, Hazzan Lichterman possesses not only the musical knowledge, but also the experience with congregants that will help us to smoothly navigate the interim period. Further aiding in the transition, we are delighted that Hazzan Lichterman will live in our Baltimore community while serving our congregation. This will allow him to engage with our community in a variety of ways. Continuing Hazzan Perlman’s legacy of warmth, connection and engagement with congregants, we feel that Hazzan Lichterman will honor that legacy with his own personal style. We are eager to hear your thoughts, suggestions and questions at search@chizukamuno.org Warmly, Jenny Gamliel & Antony Rosen

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT On Saturday November 27, 1982, I became a Bat Mitzvah at Chizuk Amuno. A third generation member on my mother’s side and fourth generation on my father’s side. That Fall, Chizuk Amuno began to permit girls to become a Bat Mitzvah on a Saturday morning and read from the Torah. I had the honor of being one of the very first. It was the forward thinking of our Board and our very new rabbi, Rabbi Zaiman, that instituted this transformational change. At my Bat Mitzvah, I read from the Parsha Vayetze, which as I reflect now, creates a wonderful bridge to today. Vayetze teaches us that Jacob has a dream about angels ascending a ladder that reaches to the heavens: “and Jacob dreamed, and behold there was a Sulam, a ladder, which was firmly affixed to the earth and its top reached heavenward.” My symbolic ladder at Chizuk Amuno will help me climb to the heights of my own leadership potential, encouraging our community to dream about our future. This is OUR synagogue. I will always take the time to listen and speak with you. I might not get everything right but, my intentions are always from the heart and mindful of what this community wants, needs and expresses. I look forward to building relationships with all of you. We have great excitement in our community and confidence in the future as we welcome our new Senior Rabbi Joshua Gruenberg. I know that he along with our entire clergy, and the Chizuk Amuno and Schools team, will continue to do the wonderful and important work we are doing. The above story of change that occurred 35 years ago allowed Chizuk Amuno to continue to grow and thrive and be at the forefront of Conservative Judaism. I am so honored to be part of this legacy and serve as Chizuk Amuno’s President as we chart our future together.
THE MIRIAM FOSS MEMORIAL FUND AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDENT COMMITTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY Each year, a scholarship fund in honor of Miriam Foss z”l awards one graduating senior at Baltimore City College High School a $5,000 scholarship designated for the student’s college tuition. The fund honors Miriam’s deep love for Judaism and her and the synagogue’s commitment to helping communities across Baltimore City. The award goes to a student who has demonstrated a long-term commitment to improving the community and has shown outstanding character. Dennis Gong, who will be attending Johns Hopkins University in the fall, is the award’s second recipient. Dennis was chosen by the faculty at City College for his commitment to environmental advocacy. Throughout his four years at City, he was a leader and member of the Environmental and Recycling Club, helping City become a certified green school in the state of Maryland. Dennis’s involvement extended outside of City’s walls as well—in the past year he worked for the Baltimore Office of Sustainability and also joined Baltimore Beyond Plastic, a youth-led organization whose goal is to reduce plastic waste in the city. This year the group successfully lobbied the Baltimore City School Board to pass a Styrofoam food container ban, which requires the use of compostable paper lunch trays in place of Styrofoam ones. Dennis says City has taught him the importance of not only being informed about an issue or problem, but taking initiative to bring about the change he wants to see. One of the most exciting parts of his work is how the cause of environmentalism brings together hundreds of students from all ages and backgrounds. Dennis plans to major in Biomedical Engineering so that he can become a scientist in the field, having studied drug-delivery systems and tissue regeneration this past summer at Hopkins. As a college student he would like to stay involved with Baltimore Beyond Plastic and start a group on campus that would help students reduce waste. Alongside all of this, he will tutor Baltimore City youth in the sciences. Congratulations to Dennis on his achievements and contributions, and thank you to the family and friends of Miriam Foss z”l for their generous support. The Foss family is grateful for all the contributions that have been made to the Miriam Foss Gemilut Hasadim Fund. If you would like to make a gift, please contact the Chizuk Amuno office for more information.
SUMMER READING Chizuk Amuno is one of the original sponsors of the upcoming, and first ever, Festival of Jewish Literature in Baltimore to be held November 8-18. We will be hosting the closing event on Sunday, November 18 at 5 p.m. which will feature Jeremy Dauber, author of Jewish Comedy: A Serious History. We know that many of you spend the sunny, languorous days of summer reading and wanted to offer you the opportunity to add Jeremy Dauber’s book to your night table. You may also want to add The Last Watchman of Old Cairo by Michael David Lukas which is the selection for the Community Read in which the entire Baltimore Jewish Community will be reading the same title. Both books may be purchased at the Chizuk Amuno Gift Shop. Books are provided to the shop by The Ivy Bookshop who is generously donating 20% of the profits back to us. Happy Reading! Page 5

Members in the News
Shoshana Cardin, mother of Steven Cardin, Ilene Vogelstein, Rabbi Nina Cardin and Sanford Cardin
Congratulations for Eva Stoller as this year’s recipient of MVP Madrikha Award, funded by the Hittman Endowment
Robin B. Levine, mother of Jamie Levinson and sister of Allison Benesch
Samantha Max, daughter of Jill and Aaron Max, has been selected to join the newsroom staff of The Telegraph, in Macon, GA as a Report for America corps member. Samantha, an emerging journalist who was an investigative reporting intern for the Medill Justice Project and a bilingual multimedia news intern at Hoy, Chicago Tribune’s Spanish-language daily, will primarily focus on health issues and community engagement at The Telegraph. “Public distrust in the media seems to be higher than ever, and I think that’s largely because the stories people read about in the news or see on TV hardly resemble the reality of what they’re experiencing in their day-to-day lives,” explains Samantha.
Dr. Stanley Norman Yaffe, husband of Florence Yaffe, father of Harriet Yaffe, Randy Maier and Ilene Salditch, and brother-in-law of Charlotte Kessler and Harriet Kessler We offer our sincere condolences to our members: Dr. Bernard “Buddy” Cohen, on the loss of his father, Dr. Jerry M. Cohen Fritzi Hallock, on the loss of her mother, Judith R. Kolker Robert Manekin, Richard Manekin and Chip Manekin, on the loss of their sister, Lynn Huberman Stern Harel Turkel, on the loss of his grandmother, Rivka Cohen Condolences to the family of our former Building Engineer, Dave Bohager, who passed away earlier this year. As a synagogue community, we express our sincere condolences and prayers for comfort to those who mourn.
