Hannah Mary Fisher
Shaena Ruth Snell
Hannah Fisher will become Bat Mitzvah on May 3, 2014. She is the daughter of Adam and Barbra Fisher and the older sister of Abigail and Theodor. Hannah attends the Catlin Gabel School and is working with the Maurice B. Shwayder Camp of Temple Emanuel for her Mitzvah Project. Schwayder is a Jewish summer camp in the Rocky Mountains for youth entering 2nd-10th grades. This summer will be Hannah’s 6th spent there. Shwayder Camp has been a highlight of her life and the best two weeks of each summer for her. She would like to give the opportunity of camp to kids who otherwise could not afford to go to camp. In lieu of Bat Mitzvah gifts, she has asked her guests to consider a donation to the Shwayder Camp Scholarship fund in honor of her Bat Mitzvah: www.shwayder.com/ donate/scholarship-fund/.
Ava Lynn Sandler Ava Sandler will become Bat Mitzvah on May 17, 2014. She is the daughter of Lolly Jamerson and Ben Sandler, CBI’s Education Director, older sister of Anita, and the granddaughter of Neil and Carol Sandler of Charlotte, NC. Ava is a 7th grader at da Vinci Arts Middle School. For her Mitzvah Project, Ava’s love of dance that she studies both in and outside of da Vinci, along with her desire to help others in need, has inspired her to want to volunteer with the “Aspire Project.” This dance and performing arts program provides opportunities for students who are genuinely interested in the arts and whose families do not have the necessary resources to enroll them in programs outside of school. Through classes, workshops, and summer camps, the Aspire Project strives to provide programs to underprivileged and disadvantaged youth. Ava will volunteer her time at one or more of their summer camps and workshops. To learn more about the Aspire Project, visit www.theaspireproject.org.
Shaena Snell will become Bat Mitzvah on May 24, 2014. She is the daughter of Michelle and Joe Snell, older sister of Emma, and granddaughter of CBI members Nick and Sanny Snell. Shaena is a student at Cedar Park Middle School. Her Mitzvah Project was inspired by the book “A Long Walk to Water,” by Linda Sue Park, learning about the more than one billion people worldwide – one in eight – who struggle daily to find clean drinking water. Shaena has chosen to work with Portland Global Initiatives, which raises money and awareness to support water well construction in the developing world. She is recruiting team members to join her for this year’s Walk for Water, PGI’s annual fundraising event. Each team member will carry buckets of water three miles, symbolizing the trek about 3 million people take each day to fetch water. She will also be donating a portion of her Bat Mitzvah gifts to support PGI. To learn more or to donate, visit www.walkforwater.org.
Hannah Isabella Wilker Hannah Wilker will become Bat Mitzvah during the 5:00 PM Havdalah service on May 31, 2014. She is the daughter of Steven Wilker and Lainie Block Wilker and older sister of Callie. Hannah attends ACCESS Academy, an alternative learning program in the Portland School District that provides curriculum acceleration and enrichment options to meet the needs of highly gifted learners. For her Mitzvah Project Hannah is holding tech workshops to benefit Chick Tech, an organization that provides STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) opportunities for girls in STEM workplaces. Hannah is holding a series of three workshops for 4th grade girls to teach them web design, robotic programming, and engineering principles. All donations from the workshops go to Chick Tech. Hannah says she chose this project because of the lack of women in STEM jobs. She encourages you to learn more at www.chicktech.org.

life events to being a couple with differing ideas about how to be Jewish. In other words, the whole range of how to live as a newcomer in a new land.
Max is correct. This is our collective history as we came to the “Goldeneh Medina” (Golden Land). Our history is stitched together through the individual struggles, sacrifices, and gains made by our families. While the letters were from Ashkenazic Jews in Yiddish, the issues were universal.
The column ran from 1906 to 1970. During the 1970s, Issac Metzger translated and edited the letters into a book with notes from Jewish writer and newspaper publisher Harry Golden.
- Max Friedenwald-Fishman
A Bintel Brief (Yiddish for a Bundle of Letters) was the name of the first advice column appearing in the Yiddish Forward in 1906. People wrote seeking advice from Editor Abraham Cahan. Immigrants wrote seeking help for issues ranging from labor to love problems, from severe poverty to how to remain ethical while succeeding in business, from retaining cultural ways of marking

Our Leadership Working Together
Hitting for the Cycle
by Stuart Chestler President, CBI Board of Trustees
By Sydney A. Baer, Executive Director One of my favorite baseball phrases is “hitting for the cycle.” And what a cycle it has been for CBI yet again, as we plan for our 156th Annual Meeting and the start of our 157th year. If our ancestors could see us now, I would like to believe they’d be kvelling. We have continued to build on their legacy and create new traditions along the way. Our out-of-the-ballpark successes this year include: Shabbats on the Plaza; religious school and preschool; Mitzvah Day and monthly Soup Sac projects; Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration with Representative John Lewis, our choirs, and the NW Community Gospel Choir; the third annual Taste of Temple and our Better Than Broadway fundraisers; Adult Education programming with the theme “Where We Came From”; and Potluck Shabbat Suppers.
Two years as President have flown by swiftly. It has been a pleasure to serve this amazing and vibrant Reform Jewish community in Portland. I have had the honor of working with an incredible group of leaders including our staff, our clergy, and our membership. Together we have achieved much: our membership is growing, Temple finances are healthy, and building maintenance continues making progress, ensuring a lasting legacy for our children and our children’s children. Our synagogue has continued to be a leader in justice and social action in the Portland community at large. It is a place for spiritual growth and emotional support for Jewish life whether one is Jewish by birth or choice or is simply supportive of a Jewish family member. And just as important as all of the above, Congregation Beth Israel is a warm, friendly, and fun place to be a part of. As I turn my office over to your new President, Ned Duhnkrack, I want to thank the Officers and the entire Board of Trustees for all their support and hard work over the past few years. It has been a privilege to grow and serve with each and every one of you. It is gratifying to know that the future of CBI is safe in the many capable hands of members, committee volunteers, committee chairpersons, officers, staff, and clergy. Shalom, Stuart Chestler
Mitzvah Day 365 Sunday, May 4, 8:30 AM Blumauer Auditorium
IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SIGN UP ~ EVERY DAY IS MITZVAH DAY! Please join us for our best ever Mitzvah Day - come for a very special pancake breakfast prepared by your own sisters and brothers from Brotherhood and Sisterhood and served by our Social Action Committee. Stay for a social action program with a special twist, during which we’ll honor retiring teacher Iris Avedovech and celebrate her 30-year career in Jewish Education. Then it’s off to your mitzvah project – there is sure to be one to interest you. You can end the day by joining our very special dinner being served at 3:00 in Blumauer Auditorium to our neighbors at NW Tower and Annex and our congregants.
There are so many people to thank for the leadership which enables us to do all that we do. I need to be brief and unfortunately don’t have space to list everyone this month! First, a hearty thank you to “team captain” Stuart Chestler for serving as CBI’s president for the past two years. He has led us through some fiscally challenging times. With his attention to detail and commitment to our core values, we have come out the other side in much better shape. Stuart has also been a major champion of leadership development and community engagement. We are grateful for Stuart’s dedication for the past six years and especially the last two as President. Sadly, we are saying l’hitraot to the following board members: Deb Caldwell, Linda Georges, and Ron Silver. Thank you all for your leadership and devotion to CBI. I look forward to working with incoming president Ned Duhnkrack and our nominees for the board: Stacy Friedman, Robin McCoy, Bob Rosenbaum, David Sarasohn, and Yale Popowich. I hope to see you all at Mitzvah Day on May 4th – thank you to Ilene Davidson for your leadership and commitment to making the world a better place. And just one more – thank you to Elizabeth Domagalski, Michelle Gradow, and the Membership Committee for starting our Shabbat Greeter program. We want to be a welcoming and inclusive community, and our members and guests are finding this new tradition to be meaningful, both as greeters and guests! And now onto our 157th year! B’Shalom, Sydney A. Baer

Developing CBI What’s Your Message? by Jenat Levison Feldman Development Director The timeless story of Passover is filled with many messages that remain relevant each and every day. We are told we should tell the story to our children and our children’s children of how we were taken from bondage into freedom and how we should continually strive to be sure no one lives enslaved. While it is the children’s role to ask the Four Questions, it is the adults’ role to impress upon them the significance of the answers, for we fully understand what our children do not: the future of the Jewish people lies with them. For our people to continue our 3,000 year history and for our congregation to continue to grow and thrive for another 156 years, we must continue the chain of investing in the future just like

so many generous members did before us. One of the questions we should all be asked on this night and all other nights is, What have you done to make the world a better place?

We are fortunate that many of our members embraced the benefit that becoming a legacy donor brought to their lives and their memory.

Mazel Tov to Ben Sandler
on his acceptance to the prestigious Executive M.A. Program in Jewish Education at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion I am excited to share with the Congregation Beth Israel community that I have recently been accepted to the Executive M.A. Program in Jewish Education at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. This program is ideally suited for professionals like me looking to expand their professional learning but who cannot enroll in HUC-JIR’s full-time programs due to employment and location. The Executive M.A. Program in Jewish Education offers a course of study that utilizes the cohort-based approach of many executive M.B.A. programs and high-quality doctoral programs in Education. My course of study will include intensive onsite seminars at HUC-JIR campuses in Cincinnati, New York, Los Angeles, and Jerusalem, as well as participation in e-learning courses and a study in Israel. I know I will emerge from this innovative program with enhanced knowledge, honed pedagogical skills, and strengthened leadership capacity that will enhance my role as a Jewish educator and positively transform Jewish education at our Congregation! Ben
Welcome New and Returning Congregants! Adam Zivony and Ashley Blevins, who will be married in the Temple later this year, were drawn to Beth Israel via the Introduction to Judaism classes and High Holy Days and Shabbat services. They say, “Rabbi Cahana’s sermons and discussions were quite engaging and certainly inspired us to become more active in the Jewish community and eventually join CBI.” Adam grew up in Atlanta. Following his stints in August, GA for medical school and Charlottesville, VA for a residency in Internal Medicine, Adam spent a year in Northern Arizona on the Navajo Indian Reservation working as a physician in the Indian Health Service. He arrived in Portland in 2011 to start a Gastroenterology Fellowship at OHSU, which will be followed by one in Transplant Hepatology.
Though originally from Portland, Ashley spent her childhood overseas in Jakarta, Indonesia and Pusan, South Korea. She returned to Portland for high school, where she ran track and cross country, which she continued to do at Oregon State, where she graduated with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry. Later, she completed her Doctor of Pharmacy degree at Oregon State and OHSU. Ashley is a clinical pharmacist at Kaiser. She’s in the process of converting to Judaism, a process which she started last summer with the Introduction to Judaism courses through the Oregon Board of Rabbis. Adam and Ashley are fans of Portland’s food and music scene and enjoy the region’s many outdoor activities with Alvin, their black Pomeranian. We are thrilled to celebrate the return of David and Meies Matz, as well as Brian and Alisa Bendis and their children Olivia (11), Sabrina (6), Tabatha (3), and London (1).

Very Thoughtful People Honoring Those Who Served Each year on Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day, we pay tribute to those buried at Beth Israel who served our country in the wars by adorning their final resting spot with an American flag. This simple indication of military service honors the sacrifices of our war veterans and enhances the natural beauty of our historic cemetery. For many years, cemetery workers have placed the nearly 200 flags on the ground plots and mausoleum spaces throughout the property. In the past, Mitzvah Day volunteers have assisted with the task. Recently, we have introduced a new procedure aimed to ensure all graves are properly marked. Over the long Memorial Day Weekend, a container of flags will be centrally located adjacent to Landau Chapel. Families coming to visit may take a flag so they can personally place it on the grave in tribute to their loved ones. Should you have any questions about burial locations at the cemetery, please contact Jemi Kostiner Mansfield at (503) 222-2037 or jemi@bethisrael-pdx.org.
