MEN’S CLUB SHABBAT

B’nei Mitzvah Bios Lily Rachel Marcus will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, June 11, 2022.

Lily Rachel Marcus

Lily has worked very hard to prepare for this important day with dedication and determination. Her Bat Mitzvah marks the beginning of her identity as a Jewish adult, one that is filled with growth, learning, and the continuation of Jewish traditions that have been in her family for generations. She also spent time this past year supporting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for her Bat Mitzvah project, which advances cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

When not preparing for her Bat Mitzvah or working hard on her academics at Twin Groves Middle School, you can find Lily twisting, tumbling, and flipping upside down on the cheer mat. She enjoys the challenge of learning new tumbling skills and working with her teammates at ICE – Barrington to dominate at cheer competitions across the country.

Joining Lily on this special day are her parents Allyson and Andrew Marcus, her sister Brynn, as well as Grandparents June and Rich Gross and Jill and Jeff Marcus. Lily will also be joined by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends from near and far.

With sincere gratitude, Lily and her family would like to thank Rabbi Zimbalist, Cantor Bat-Sarah, and the Beth Judea educators that have prepared Lily for this important day. A special thank you to Natalie Gurin, Lily’s wonderful Bat Mitzvah tutor, who has been a significant part of Lily’s Jewish education since she was young.

A Hearty Mazel Tov to all our June & July B’nei Mitzvah Families

from your Beth Judea Family.

B’nei Mitzvah Bios Susan Adleman will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, July 9, 2022 at 4 PM. This also coincides with her 80th birthday.

Susan grew up in Brooklyn, NY and never had a Bat Mitzvah. It was not a life cycle event that was available to girls at that time. She is a graduate of James Madison High School in Brooklyn, Hunter College and SUNY Cortland.

Susan Adleman

Susan would like to thank the Adult B’Nai Mitzvah Class of a few years ago for showing her that a Bat Mitzvah was possible, her friend and teacher, Lee Goldberg and her tutor, Andrea Dickson and also Jerry Sakol and Eric Yegelwel.

Susan moved to Illinois, from Ithaca, NY., with her husband, Marvin in 2011, z”l, to be closer to her daughter and son in law, Rachel and Neil Jordan and their two sons, Emmet and Jacob. She is also Bubbee to Ari and Leora Feinsmith, children of Elana and Jason Feinsmith from Sunnyvale, CA. Susan lives in Luther Village in Arlington Heights.

Judaism and being active and involved in a Temple are a priority in her life.

She is a past President of the Ithaca Association for Jewish Studies, and was an active member of the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El, Ithaca, holding a variety of board positions and continues to love being a part of Congregation Beth Judea.

Susan is a retired teacher, loves to dance, watch birds (as you know from her Facebook Postings about the Luther Village Swans), swim, and has spent many years supporting people with eating disorders.

Susan would like to thank her many friends at CBJ for the warm welcome she got when she moved here and their support during some challenging times in her life. Susan looks forward to being able to chant her Torah Parshah in G-d’s language.

Shiva Baskets

WAYS & MEANS

Sunshine Fund

CBJ Business Directory Advertising Opportunity

The primary purpose of the shiva tradition, or "sitting shiva," is to create an environment of comfort and community for mourners; it helps guide friends and family members through the loss of a loved one. Throughout the weeklong shiva period, mourners come together in one family’s home to offer their condolences and support. From a practical standpoint, the shiva process and practices associated with Jewish mourning add comfort to the life of a mourner following a death. In the period after suffering a loss, a mourner may be comforted by the structure and routines prescribed by traditional Jewish mourning laws.

Advertise your business in our new Business Directory section of The Word! $120 for a year (one-year term) Submit a high resolution graphic of your business card to Lisa Neiman at lneiman@bethjudea.org.

Subscription payment must be received to activate term.

Historically, the Board of Directors of Congregation Beth Judea has sent shiva baskets to the immediate family of Board members; parents, spouses, siblings and G-d forbid, children. We would like to extend this gesture to the entire congregation.

Donations may be sent the shul attention Lisa Neiman.

Thanking you in advance for you generous donations.

Respectfully, Lisa Neiman

Men’s Club Greetings from the Men’s Club. I can’t believe that it is June, and the Synagogue year is coming to a close. In thinking back, while we were getting back to some kind of normal, it is amazing that we were able to be in person not only for services but also other events including our club retreat in Lake Geneva, packing Yom HaShoah candles, and our upcoming Men’s Club Shabbat (more on that later).

On May 13 Norm Kurtz, Lou Rabin, Orin Rotman, and me left for Bloomington, IL to attend the Midwest Region Retreat. This was the first Region retreat we have had since 2018. There was a total of 18 guys that attended from both the Chicago and St. Louis areas. It was great to see some familiar faces and meet some people that had never attended a retreat. While there we had a chance to pray, play, learn and eat, the highlight of the weekend was our guest speaker Rabbi Rebecca Dubowe.

Rabbi Dubowe is the Senior Rabbi at Moses Montefiore Temple (MMT) in Bloomington. MMT is the only synagogue in Bloomington and is Reform. Rabbi Dubowe is also the only ordained female Reform Rabbi that is deaf. When she spoke to us on Saturday afternoon, she not only spoke about what is like to be the only Jewish clergy in Bloomington and how she interacts the other clergy in her area, but also what it was like for her growing up deaf and as a Jew. I found her story fascinating.

After her talk, she led us in a Meditative Mincha service. When we were all finished, I had a chance to speak with her and asked her if she would be interested in coming to Long Grove to speak to CBJ and spend the weekend as a Scholar in Residence. She said that she would so hopefully we can make this happen in the coming year.

On Sunday May 22, 2022, we attended the Man of the Year/Youth of the Year awards presentation at Congregation Beth Hillel/B’nai Emunah in Wilmette. We honored our Man of the Year Alan Marcus and our Youth of the Year Brooke Robbins. The event was well attended by CBJ folks as well as all the synagogues that were presenting. One of the highlights was that our own, Cantor Bat-Sarah, was asked to sing both the Israeli and American National Anthems. Brooke’s speech was great, and I know that her family was immensely proud of her. Unfortunately, Alan could not attend the ceremony, so I accepted the award on his behalf. We will be presenting Alan his award on June 4 at Men’s Club Shabbat.

Since my last article there has been some good news regarding our sponsor family from Guatemala.

According to what I have been told, they will be arriving in Chicago on June 1. I understand that a group from CBJ and The Niagara Foundation will be meeting them at O’Hare Airport to welcome them. They will be living in East Rogers Park and their apartment has been furnished and set up.

Thank you to all that helped with moving the furniture and preparing the apartment. I am sure we will be hearing more about their new lives in Chicago in the coming months.

Thank you again to Orin Rotman and Marty Karlin on a wonderful Tap the Torah presentation. Marty’s topic “Bernstein: Man, Myth, Music” was great. We really got to learn about the man and his inspiration in all that he created. If you didn’t get a chance to hear Marty’s presentation, feel free to reach out to him.

On Thursday May 5, 2022, we had our bi-yearly elections. It is my pleasure to announce that the following people have been elected for the 2022-2024 Men’s Club Board. They are Alan Friedlander – President, Steve Limer – V.P. Programming, Brandt Rosen – V.P. Membership and Communications, Ron Friedman – V.P. Finance, Alan Marcus – V. P. Ritual, Sandy Victor – V.P. House and Parliamentarian, Dan Sheehan – Secretary, Steve Frost – Social Action Chairman, Lou Rabin – Director At-Large, and Orin Rotman – Director At- Large. Mazel Tov and I know that you will do great things during your term.

Men’s Club Our softball teams are in full swing (pun intended), and we have now included the game(s) of the week and the schedule in the weekly email from the synagogue. Please help support our teams by showing up for the game(s). They are on Sunday mornings at Techny Park in Northbrook. The start times are either 9:30 or 10:40 AM. If you have any questions reach out to Steve Limer or Brandt Rosen.

We are in the process of planning the dedication of the renovated Memorial Garden. At this point it looks like it will be in late June. Please keep an eye on your emails for more information.

On Sunday, July 24, we will be having Burgers and Bourbon event at the Shul. This will be an inperson event with food and beverages (including the adult kind). Mark it on your calendar as it will be a fun time.

Men’s Club Shabbat has been scheduled for Saturday June 4. Thank you to our Ritual V.P., Jerry Sakol, for all your hard work in preparing this. This will be an incredibly special Shabbat as it will be the first in-person Men’s Club Shabbat in 2 years. We hope that you will all be able to attend and if not, please join us on Zoom.

We are in the early stages of working on our annual Dr. Jack Rizman Golf Outing. The team is beginning to meet, and, at this point, I believe that an early September date is in being discussed.

Please keep an eye on your email for more information.

Finally, this is my last Word article as Co-President of the Men’s Club. I want to thank my Board (Alan Harris, Steve Limer, Jerry Sakol, Alan Friedlander, Sandy Victor, Ron Friedman, Norm Kurtz, Orin Rotman, Evan Rumack, Eric Yegelwel, and Fred Rabinowitz) for everything you have done over the past 2 years to make sure that we kept going. I especially want to thank Brandt Rosen, my CoPresident and right hand, for everything that you have done. We made a great team.

That’s it for now. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to me or Brandt Rosen.

As always, please stay safe and healthy.

L’Shalom,

Rob Lipka BJMC Co-President

INTERFAITH COUNCIL

News from the Northwest Suburban Interfaith Council

By Joanne Dicker and Helene Fox, Congregation Beth Judea Representatives Working together, we can accomplish much. “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” - Psalm 133

Save the date! The i-walk against hunger is back! On June, 26, 2022, we will hold our annual (in person!) i-walk against hunger. Proceeds from the i-walk raise funds to help our neighbors in need.

Join Beth Judea’s group for the walk!

Summer is the time when the food pantries need donations of food and money. Children who receive free lunches at school, often do not have another place to go. Our annual family walk tries to raise awareness of hunger in our community. All funds collected are donated to our food pantries located at congregation Beth Am, St. Mary Parish and Kingswood Methodist Church all located in Buffalo Grove, and St. Alphonsus in Prospect Heights and local ones. We walk from St. Mary Parish to Hope Lutheran Church and back. Hope Lutheran hosts refreshment and entertainment for the walkers.
