The Aruch Hashulchan captures it well when he writes: The Aruch Hashulchan captures it well when he writes:

RABBI’S MESSAGE Dear Friends, As the summer quickly approaches I am already thinking about next year. I am thrilled to announce that we will be adding two part-time rabbinic fellows to our clergy team in the fall. Both Jessica Fisher and Becca Weintraub will be in their final year Rabbi David Schuck of rabbinical school—Jessica at the Jewish Theological Seminary and Becca at Hebrew College, a pluralistic rabbinical school in Boston. Please read more about them below.

Both Jessica and Becca will participate in the responsibilities of the clergy team, such as teaching, officiating at shiva minyanim,

delivering sermons, running minyan, and supporting the holiday and general programming of the synagogue. In addition to this, Jessica will help plan and lead some of our family education while Becca will focus on intergenerational programming and a few new initiatives that we are still developing. They are both remarkably talented and we are extremely blessed that they will spend next year working in our community. Please feel free to reach out to both of them in order to introduce yourself and welcome them to our Beth El family (their emails are in their bios appear below).

L’Shalom, Rabbi David A. Schuck

Jessica Fisher, Rabbinic Fellow

Becca Weintraub, Rabbinic Fellow

Jessica Fisher is entering her fifth year of rabbinical school at the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) and is thrilled to be joining the clergy team at Beth El Synagogue Center.

She is looking forward to being part of the Beth El community as it works to realize its new vision and to help leverage the potential of family engagement and education in the life of the congregation.

Over the past several years, Jessica has worked in a number of Conservative synagogues in the New York area and Chicago. She has also worked at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, completed a unit of clinical pastoral education through JTS, and had a fellowship in interfaith and community relations with the Jewish Community Relations Council in Cincinnati, Ohio. Before starting rabbinical school, she ran the Chicago Diller Teen Fellows program at the Jewish Federation. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Jessica first moved to New York to attend the joint program between Columbia University and JTS, where she earned bachelor’s degrees in the History of Social Inequality in the Americas and Midrash. Jessica is a certified natural foods chef and loves experimenting with new bread recipes. She can be reached at jessicafisher716@gmail.com.

Becca Weintraub is a lifelong spiritual seeker, selfdiagnosed travel junkie, and Shabbat host extraordinaire.

Her dedication to creating a more compassionate world made her fall in love with Torah and ultimately lead her to study at Hebrew College Rabbinical School. A native of Westchester, she is thrilled to come back to her home county to join the Beth El community once a month as a rabbinic intern. She is a proud mikveh guide at Mayyim Hayyim Community Mikveh, a passionate alumni coordinator for the Hadar Institute, loyal member of the community Hevra Kadisha of Greater Boston, and returning rabbinic intern at Temple Emunah in Lexington, MA. She currently lives in Somerville, MA with her travel buddy and husband, Jeremy. She is looking forward to a year of davening, learning, schmoozing, and asking big questions with you! She can be reached at rebecca.weintraub@hebrewcollege.edu.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Schuck and Erica has been the highlight of being President at Beth El. The warmth, intelligence, pragmatism, dedication, and love they bring to their work is a gift from which we all benefit. The relationship I’ve developed with each of them is a personal gift I will always treasure.

A couple of weeks ago, Shayna Mark Seidenfeld Klingsberg celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Beth El. It was a wonderful Shabbat morning in our newly renovated sanctuary. Shayna read Torah and Haftorah beautifully, but it was her D'var Torah that keeps ringing in my ears. She spoke of how we have a beautiful space, our sanctuary and our entire facility. But it’s what the people inside that space do that makes it special and alive. We each bring something special to our community and together we create a Kehillah Kedoshah (sacred community) like no other.

It’s with deep appreciation that I want to thank each of you for your kind words, constructive criticism, and support. I hope that together we will continue on our journey to build an even brighter future for Beth El. See you in shul, Mark

What do I write? Every month for the last two years, I’ve sat down to write my monthly Bulletin article, and today I sit down to write my last one as President. Two years have flown by, filled with ups and downs and everything in between. It’s been an incredible learning experience and I hope that I have somehow helped to move Beth El forward during this time. Whatever I’ve done, whatever I’ve accomplished, it’s been because of the help and hard work of so many people along the way. From the past Presidents who shared with me their insight and wisdom, to all the officers who worked together to help address each challenge that arose, to all the Trustees and Committee and Affiliate Chairs who devote countless hours to create the vibrant life at Beth El—it truly takes a village! I’ve been active at Beth El for many years, but over the last two years I have truly come to learn “how the sausage is made” (ok, bad metaphor for a synagogue, but you get the idea) and appreciate how our staff and clergy work tirelessly, usually behind the scenes, to really get things done. We are fortunate to have such committed individuals who go above and beyond to ensure that things run as smoothly as possible and that Beth El stands as a leading Conservative synagogue. And this team is led by two of the best at their craft—our beloved Senior Rabbi David Schuck and our Executive Director extraordinaire Erica Leventhal. I’ve said this on a number of occasions lately, but it’s so true and bears repeating—working closely with Rabbi

Museum Room to Feature Alexander Rutsch Exhibit beginning June 23 he is, however, passionate about the process of making art and surrenders his entire being as an instrument to the act of creation.

The geometry of his imagination overflows with figures, profiles and penetrating strong eyes—windows to a deeper place. Their vitality and sensuality pulsate through the “dreamscapes” of Rutsch’s created worlds. At times romantic, yet always wild with energy, human forms and experiences are essential to the artist’s vocabulary.

The son of opera singers and a singer himself, Rutsch speaks of “the art of painting as the art of silence” and the job of the painter “to dedicate himself to the silence.” He adds though, “that this silence is the greatest existing sound in the universe.” One wonders why then, if painting is “the art of silence,” that Rutsch’s paintings scream with sound. Sometimes melancholy, sometimes sensual, sometimes dissonant and sometimes whispering, the rhythms are always rich in the celebration of life and our shared humanity.

Painter, sculptor and poet, Rutsch’s oeuvre over the past four decades is tremendous. Celebrated and collected especially in Vienna, Paris, Brussels and New York, he studied with renowned teachers like Boeckl and Dorowsky and collaborated with such geniuses as Salvador Dali. Having left Vienna in the fifties, Rutsch moved to Paris and took the city’s art scene by storm. There, Picasso was so enthralled with a portrait Rutsch has done of him that, in a state of great excitement, he countersigned it.

We hope you will join us at Beth El for the artist's reception on Sunday, June 23rd, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Rutsch is always “scribbling and scrabbling.” He is an artist of the purest breed—an artist who has no choice but to paint. He is a chosen traveler of the depths of existence; a man who follows a longing to explore his inner self and relate his findings with the energy and identity of the universe.

The celebrated Austrian artist approaches painting and sculpture as he lives life—with the eyes of a child and the hand of a poet.

Constantly in the quest for rhythms of form and vibrations of color, he catches those “sparks in the shadow” and evidences their fullest reality and beauty in his creations.

Each of his paintings is as much a careful construction as it is a spontaneous act of love. While he might attribute certain artistic expressions to “coincidence,” his inspiration comes from such diverse sources as memories, dreams, sounds, numbers, telephone poles, and drift wood. Rutsch has an affinity to vibrant colors, strong contours and rich brush strokes which are apparent in his oils, mixed media works and ink drawings. He has a sensitivity to the unusual, the discarded and a fondness for the ugly as well as the chaotic.

These he often transforms into poignant welded steel abstractions.

Rutsch has an aversion to politics, citing dates and expounding upon honors achieved. There is no talk about ‘profound symbolism’ in his work, and as Carlo McCormick writes in the introduction to Rutsch’s monograph, “Meaning is not a seed that Rutsch plants, nurtures and then harvests. It is what grows wild in a volcanic swamp of fossilized, decaying and new-born fancies—as an afterthought and aftershock.” Alexander Rutsch is not concerned with interpretations;

ABOUT ALEXANDER RUTSCH

International de Saceux and won first prize for abstract painting, the first of many awards received during his prolific career.

During his thirteen years in Paris, Rutsch exhibited in many prominent galleries there and throughout Europe. In 1958, the City of Paris awarded him the prestigious Arts, Science and Letters Silver Medal. In 1966, Jean Desvilles presented his prize-winning film, Le Monde de Rutsch at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Biennial.

In 1968 Rutsch moved to Pelham, New York, where he worked in his studio and exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide.

Rutsch’s work, as seen through his mastery of many art forms—sculpture, painting, print-making, and drawing, and a wide variety of other media has been described as “vibrating showers of lines, bold geometries, wounded anatomically rambling scrapwood skeletons, enigmatic totem figures, and congregations of fetishized, domesticated, and recycled rubbish heaps that conspire to a fantasy of Expressionism, Cubism, Dada, Fauvism, Cobra, and Primitivism.” His pieces, as described by Emily Genauer, import silence and the monumentality of primitive statuary. His sculptures are stylized to abstract construction made of “found” objects welded and reshaped into bronze figures and animals of uncommon wit, airy, with grace and individuality. His portraits are crisp, intense, spare linear characterizations. Rutsch’s creations suggest empathy.

Alexander Rutsch passed away in 1997. His friends, supporters and family established the bi-annual Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition competition for visual artists.

Alexander Rutsch was born in Russia in 1916, but raised in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

After studying voice in Austria, he became an opera singer like his parents. But after World War II, Rutsch’s love for visual expression propelled him to change careers.

He was a painter, sculptor, philosopher, musician, singer and poet. His life as a romantic is reflected in his work, as he sought to perfect his soul and humanity, “I paint my dreams,” said Rutsch. “My dreams are color and life. They soar in my head like millions of symphonies. I can never stop building dreams.”

In 1952, after studying under Josef Dobrowsky, Josef Hoffmann, and Herbert Boeckl at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, Alexander Rutsch received a scholarship to study in France. There he made contacts and began collaborations with his contemporaries, Picasso and Dali. Rutsch said of his experiences with Picasso, “Picasso played a short but important moment in my life in Paris that affected my entire artistic future. I learned from him that it is not important if art is not aesthetically finished. It can be raw, uncooked, rough. If an artist feels he has said it—it is not important to polish or finish it.

Because of Picasso, I learned that if I don’t feel the need to finish—I don’t have to.” In 1954 he exhibited his work at the Salon Artistique 8

*“Keruv” = to bring close, to draw near KERUV* KORNER Where Have All The (Large-Print) Prayer Books Gone?

That is Keruv’s question of the month . . .

• If, as you leave the sanctuary at the conclusion of services, Keruv Committee members Judy Schmeidler and Dorothy Fox you see a stray large-print book on a chair, please return it to the recently conducted an inventory of Beth El’s large-print siddurim cabinet. (prayer books) and chumashim (books of Torah), to ensure that Anyone who has, at any point, taken one of Beth El’s largethey are available and ready for use in the new sanctuary. It is print texts home for any reason… the same procedure we employ before the High Holidays, to make (a) We are delighted that you have been able to use it; sure that there are large-print machzorim (High Holiday prayer (b) Please return it! books) available upon request. What Dorothy and Judy found, Thank you. following their search, is that books are missing. We once had Nina Luban and Elise Richman complete sets of large-print chumashim—each of the five books Keruv Committee Co-Chairs of the Torah—in Hebrew and English. We no longer do.

The Keruv budget for the new fiscal year includes the cost of purchasing one complete chumash set in Hebrew and two complete sets in English, from the Jewish Braille Institute.

All of us—Keruv members, custodians, Shabbat ushers, the congregation as a whole—must maintain a bit more vigilance Keruv maintains a growing shelf of Beth El library with regard to this resource. True, a minority may require largebooks and resources addressing special needs, print books (and most of you reading this likely are not among intermarriage, LGBTQ, and “inclusion” generally. You that minority), but these texts permit sight where there would are welcome to peruse at any time! otherwise be none. They are important. They are needed.

If the library door is locked, please ask office to Keruv, therefore, respectfully asks the following of our have it opened. (And please note: Keruv is always community. At Shabbat services: interested in related book recommendations!)

• Please be mindful that large-print siddurim and chumashim will be available in a cabinet to be set up inside or just outside of the sanctuary. The cabinet will also contain Beth El’s hearing amplification devices. A sign will be hung over the cabinet, identifying its contents.

• We request that Shabbat ushers kindly provide large-print texts to anyone who may inquire about them, and PLEASE remind the users to return them when services are over. Congregants should refer any service goer who might benefit from large prints books to an usher.

Sisterhood Scene

I’m experiencing mixed feelings as I sit down to write this article. I’m relieved that it is the last column I am creating for the Bulletin as Sisterhood president. You see, it’s not always easy to come up with something to say a month in advance of the date your audience will read it.

Now, my second year as Sisterhood president is rapidly drawing to a close. By the end of this month Sandy Gruenberg will be the next president of Sisterhood and will write future Bulletin articles.

I have enjoyed the opportunity to communicate with all the members of our community through this column. It has given me a chance to introduce myself and let you know what is important to me and to the women in Sisterhood. I’ve also heard from some of you about these columns and I’m glad they have sparked some thoughts for you and you shared them with me.

I’m proud that over the last two years we held informative and educational programs with groups like Keruv, Hadassah, and Sharsheret. We had authors come and discuss their books. We had the Director of the Westchester County Consumer Protection Department here to share ways for us to avoid being scammed and cheated. We had events where we enjoyed films about Jewish women in movies and television. We had a zumba night and a month later we were taught to belly dance by Bina the Belly Dancer.

Food continues to play an important part in the life of our Sisterhood. We have a special group of women who once a month come to the Beth El and prepare a dairy meal for the HOPE Kitchen in New Rochelle. We also have women who have come together for special events like the Kiddush in the Sukkah for the congregation, a brunch in the sukkah, Paid Up Membership Dinners, Cinema Brunches, Vashti’s Banquet, Torah Fund Brunches, and Spring Galas. These events give us a wonderful opportunity to break bread together, share experiences and create friendships.

In the last two years I’m thrilled that we’ve continued to raise funds through our Mitzvah Cards and our Tea Bag Fundraiser. We provide a Shabbat Shiva dinner to families in our congregation at their time of loss. We contribute to the scholarship fund at Beth El to help our youth attend a summer program in Israel. We contribute to local Jewish programs that help those in need in our community and those in need in Israel. Sisterhood continues to support Beth El with our annual donation of $10,000 and we have pledged to provide the same financial contribution next year. Through your generosity we have also increased our donations to Torah Fund, the scholarship fund for students enrolled in the schools where future Conservative Rabbi, Cantors, Educators and Social Workers are trained.

When I retired from teaching I never expected to take on responsibilities that would lead me to become president of our Sisterhood. I am, however, glad that I followed the path shown to me by my parents. They both held positions on their synagogue and Sisterhood boards while I was growing up. There were always discussions around our dinner table about Temple Gates of Prayer, Sisterhood, Torah Fund, Ritual Committee, and Budget Committee.

I grew up hearing that this activity was part of my parent’s daily lives and so it became part of my life when I was ready to take it on. I am happy that I was able to serve Beth El Sisterhood for the last two years.

The Installation of our new board will take place on Tuesday, June 18th, at 7:30 pm, at a Singing As a Spiritual Practice Special Evening. We’d love to have you join us as Sandy Gruenberg and her board are installed as the new officers of Sisterhood.

With thanks, Risë Stern

Beth El Day Camp is excited to announce the arrival of our new logo!

With summer around the corner and Day Camp enrollment almost full, we are proud to present our new logo. Each feature represents a key part of the camp experience—a circle to symbolize the unity of our camp community, and trees to represent the growth, prosperity, and strength we see in our campers every day. As we prepare to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones this summer, proudly present this logo which embodies our camp values: 8 weeks of summer fun! Beth El offers the Best. Days. Ever. in a nurturing and loving environment. We even offer before and after-camp care from 7am-7pm. It is our aim to see that each child develops to the fullest both individually and as part of a group. We are dedicated to providing each child with an enriching summer experience that brings them back year after year. Beth El Day Camp provides children with the opportunity to engage in activities they know and love while trying new things. Campers create art and music, relax with yoga, and dance with Zumba. They explore mad science and STEM activities and learn new skills in swimming, soccer, basketball, and more! No two days are the same at Beth El Day Camp, with exciting special events from Truck Day to Paw Patrol Day to Israel Day. New this year is our prequel to camp: Playground, Pool & Pizza Program on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, June 24-26 9:00am-1:00pm. We can’t wait to kick off the summer of 2019 with our new logo, and we hope to see you there!

NURSERY SCHOOL NEWS This has been a very exciting spring in the Nursery School. Every year our Anaf classes participate in a wonderful Israeli Dance Festival.

The participants are over 125 four-year-old children from six schools in Westchester and Manhattan who have been taught

by Shmulik, our Movement and Drumming instructor. The year it was Beth El’s turn to host. Joyous Hebrew music and dancing filled the Fayer Ballroom as children, decked out in blue and white tee shirts that they had created, sang out their love of Israel.

What a special day it was!

A week later it was time for the official opening of our Outdoor Nature Space. The field below Playground #2 has been named GAN TEVA. Our Nursery School Board has been fundraising non-stop and the money they raised has been used to create a Tire Swing, a Mud Kitchen, a bridge, a log hill, slides, Tire Tower, Music Wall, Magnet Wall, Construction Area and more. Our Gan Teva is representative of cutting-edge education, as abundant research has proven the importance of outdoor exploration for young children.

Gan Teva is becoming the favorite “go-to” place for all of our classes and it also boasts a beautiful sitting area for stories, snacks and picnics. We are blessed to have such a committed Parent Board who understand the importance of outdoor learning and exploration.

YOUTH & FAMILY ENGAGEMENT A Note from Bekkah…

And just like that, the school year has flown by! I am thrilled to have been given the chance to fill the position of Interim Director of the Department of Youth and Family Engagement for the year and I am humbled to continue as the Director of this department beginning July 1st.

With summer quickly approaching, it is crazy that we are bringing this exciting year to an end! It was such a fantastic year of programming, thanks to our new Youth and Family Coordinator, Stephanie Lederman, who enhanced our family programming and elevated the experiences of our Ruach (Grades K-2) and Chaverim (Grades 3-5) children. A huge thank you also goes to our Teen Advisor and Educator Andrew Van Bochove and our Kadima Advisor Max Leader, as well as our Religious School educators, basketball coaches, and many volunteers. Highlights from the year include Youth and Family Shabbat Weekend, hosting Emek USY Kinnus this past January, the Family Tu BiShevat Seder, Ruach and Chaverim Krav Maga, Kadima (Grades 6-8) Saturday morning conversations and Friday night Shabbat dinners, Teen Shabbat Dinners and Sushi in the Sukkah, and so much more. These are just a few examples of ways our community came together this year, and we can’t wait for even more in the coming school year.

Just a few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with one of our teens about the power of relationships. She expressed to me the impact she feels we can have on one another when we take the time to build real connections—and these connections help us find deeper meaning in our lives.

Our connections have the ability to shape lives; when we authentically connect with others, we give one another a chance to feel a part of something greater than our individual selves – a part of a community.

And now we turn to summer and the school year draws to a close, many of us have additional communities that play large roles in our lives reappear— camp communities, summer programs, jobs, and more.
