Making it Count

By Rabbanit Bracha Jaffe Beth Tfiloh Community Educator

The period of time between the holiday of Pesach and the holiday of Shavuot is known as Sefirat HaOmer – the Counting of the Omer.

It is bookended with the offering of the omer brought on the second day of Pesach to celebrate the new barley harvest; and a mincha offering from the new wheat harvest on Shavuot. While there is no longer a Temple or an omer offering, our sages mandated that we should continue counting these days as we journey from liberation as a people from Egypt on Pesach towards receiving the Torah on Shavuot.

Curiously, the counting has a unique format. Not only is each day counted, Continued on page 3

Mercaz News BT to honor Sandy Vogel for her service to Mercaz Dahan Center After an outstanding 19-year tenure as Beth Tfiloh's Director of the Mercaz Dahan Center for Jewish Life and Learning, Sandy Vogel has announced her retirement effective July 1.

Sandy came to Beth Tfiloh in 1999 following a successful career as principal of the Judaic Academy, the former Baltimore Hebrew High School sponsored jointly by the Baltimore Board of Jewish Education (now known as The Macks Center for Jewish Education) and Baltimore Hebrew College. Sandy was charged with the task of developing Beth Tfiloh’s adult education program.

Sandy's knowledge and broad experience in Jewish education made an immediate impact, as she worked to launch Beth Tfiloh's Mercaz program.

Her efforts were supported by the generosity of the Dahan family, which endowed the Mercaz Dahan Center for Jewish Life and Learning, and enabled the program to grow significantly over the past years.

“I always had a dream that Beth Tfiloh would serve as the center for Jewish adult education, and Sandy was instrumental in achieving that goal,” said Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg. Today, hundreds of adults participate in Beth Tfiloh's adult learning programs, including 130 weekly “regulars” enrolled in such programs such as BT in the AM, Yaffe Scholars, and the newly-launched BT Fellows program.

Sandy has plans to spend more time with her family’s 10 grandchildren, who reside in Israel and in Baltimore. The Congregation is making plans to honor Sandy for her leadership and dedication later this spring.

Making it Count

Continued from page 3

but the weeks are counted as well. For example, the 16th day is counted by stating:

new, as follows: Week 1: Pesach Week 2: Yom HaShoah and Rosh Chodesh Iyar

“Today is the sixteenth day, which is two weeks and two days of the omer.”

Week 3: Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzma’ut

What is the purpose of counting both days and weeks? Ibn Ezra, a distinguished Bible commentator and philosopher from the 12th century, explains that not only should we be counting the days but we should make each day count.

Week 4: Pesach Sheni (2nd opportunity to bring the Pascal Lamb) Week 5: Lag B’Omer Week 6: Yom Yerushalayim

Making each day count can be difficult to sustain over time. Counting of the weeks teaches us one way to do that. By setting medium and long-term goals, we can keep our daily focus by keeping our eyes on something greater.

Here’s one way to frame Sefirat HaOmer through the lens of counting weeks. With the establishment of the State of Israel there is now a minor or major Jewish holiday every week of the seven weeks between Pesach and Shavuot – a fusing of the old with the

Week 7: Rosh Chodesh Sivan and Shavuot Every week of the omer we have an opportunity to pause and reflect, ponder and celebrate. Each week we have moments where we can connect with something greater than ourselves and our daily routines.

Let us use this time as a model for what it means to make each day count whether we do that by focusing on the moment or by working towards a greater goal.

GIFT SHOP FEATURED ITEM

Making Stock Transfers to BT: Why and How Despite recent changes in the tax law, transfers of appreciated stock and other publicly traded securities to charities continue to be an extremely valuable tax savings strategy since transfers avoid a taxable gain on the increase in the stock’s value, and may result in a charitable contribution equal to the stock's appreciated value.

Many of our generous BT school and congregation supporters transfer appreciated securities to Beth Tfiloh in payment of their Annual Campaign contributions or other pledges. Of course, we advise all of our donors to consult with their tax advisors to fully evaluate any tax strategy, which may vary depending on their individual financial and tax situation.

Effective March 2018, please note that the instructions for making stock transfers to Beth Tfiloh have changed and all Beth Tfiloh stock transfers should be made through TD Ameritrade as follows:

School News Kohelet Prize

Continued from page 1 a wide range of curricular areas, including history, geography, technology, science, art, and Judaic studies.

The Kohelet Prize is awarded annually to six educators or teams of educators who demonstrate exceptional accomplishment in one of the six core elements of progressive Jewish education. The winners receive a $36,000 unrestricted cash prize.

The multi-week project’s goals included developing students’ deep and broad understanding of their chosen Israeli landmark and its relevance to the Jewish people; giving students autonomy to direct their learning experience; and creating an interactive exhibit for the school community to share in the students’ learning.

STEM DAY: BT High School students explored a broad range of STEM careers with leading area professionals and BT faculty members at the newly-dedicated Dr. L. Diamond High School STEM Day.

“Each lower school class took on the study of a different landmark in Israel.

Teachers used a variety of modalities to introduce their landmark to their students, and to spark students’ questions about the significance of the landmark. After a week of research and inquiry, students chose what aspect of their landmark they wanted to learn more about, developed questions to explore, and consulted with experts and specialists to delve into their inquiries,” commented Mrs. Weissman.

The interactive projects, which represented 35 Israeli landmarks, included a replication of Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda shuk, or outdoor marketplace; a Bedouin tent in the Negev; a replication of the Sea of Galilee’s active drip irrigation system; recreations of Hadassah hospital’s famous Chagall windows; a travelogue promotional video about Ein Gedi, a desert oasis, and much more.

Beth Tfiloh Director of Education Dr. Zipora Schorr commented that the projects were exceptional and not only reflected each classes’ effort, but “the relevance, the depth, and the meaning in the displays and in the involvement of students as they created the displays.”

“We are fortunate to work with all teachers and students within the lower school at Beth Tfiloh, and oversaw the implementation of this student-centered, project-based process,” said Mrs. Weissman of the initiative.

To view the complete “Israel Fair: A Student-Led Interdisciplinary Experience” award submission, visit koheletprize.org.

GIRLS CHAMPS: The Girls Varsity Basketball team traveled to Kohelet Yeshiva High School outside Philadelphia for a one day tournament, and returned to BT as champions!

MIDOT PROGRAM: Third grade students celebrated learning about midot, positive character traits and values, at their Midot Program. Each student received a beautifully illustrated copy of Pirkei Avot, thanks to Sandy and Sheldon Dobres, who endowed the Midot Program through the BT Chazak Campaign.

MITZVAH WEEK: Sixth Grade Mitzvah Week is a hands-on, interactive learning experience. Sponsored by the BT Sisterhood, sixth grade girls learned about a variety of mitzvot and created projects connected to the Mitzvah. They delivered $240 they raised to Tikvah House, which they toured. The boys enjoyed creating their own tefillin, while learning the related laws.

YUNMUN: Congratulations to BT High School’s Yeshiva University National Model United Nations team on taking sixth place and to Aaron N. ‘19 and Jonathan A. ‘19 who were named “Best Delegate” for their respective committees.

PURIM: Dancing, singing, Megillah reading, costume contests, faculty doppelgangers, hamantaschen — we had all that and more at this year's Purim celebrations!

THE ADDAMS FAMILY: Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community High School’s “The Addams Family” cast danced and sang their way into audience members’ hearts at three sold-out performances.

Meet our Members The Auster Family: Creating New BT Memories Harry Auster grew up in the BT community – a synagogue member since childhood and school class of 2005 alumnus. He married Michelle Engelhart from Silver Spring, Maryland in 2010; the couple have a 3 year old son, Ethan, and just welcomed a new daughter, Emily.

When they returned to Baltimore in 2015 after six years of living in New York, “it seemed like the obvious place for us to start planting and growing our own Baltimore roots,” says Michelle.

The family settled in Stevenson Village, with BT right in their backyard.

But they quickly realized how much BT had to offer their whole family. “The kids programming is second to none and there is always something fun and exciting going on,” comments Harry.

“We also love spending time with family and friends and love seeing our many Auster/Cusner/Freedman/Engelhart family members and cousins on a regular basis at BT.”

Although Ethan was too young to begin school at BT when they first moved, the Austers enrolled him in BT Camps when he turned two. “He is now in BT Preschool 2’s class which he absolutely loves!” Michelle says.

Michelle and Harry, who are both orthopedic Physician Assistants, love spending time outdoors and playing sports or biking and scootering with Ethan. “Harry and Ethan share a love of everything sports,” shares Michelle.

“Harry plays several sports weekly and has started training Ethan to be a great athlete!”

Ethan showed off his dance moves at BT’s Purim Seudah to Soulfarm’s live jams, a moment the Austers will enjoy for years. “He loves music so much and was completely in the zone,” says Harry.

“He was dancing like crazy by himself and then joined Rabbi Posner and his kids. It was absolutely adorable and a bit hysterical to watch!

Purim is not the only time Ethan loves coming to BT. “Ethan asks us enthusiastically each Shabbat morning

MICHELLE & HARRY AUSTER, with Ethan and Emily.

if he’s going to school today.” He looks so disappointed when we say no because it’s Shabbat, but then his face lights up when we tell him we get to go shul instead,” notes Michelle. “He just loves everything BT and is developing such a love for Judaism, which is so wonderful for us to see. We love BT and can’t wait to start creating new BT memories and experiences with our new daughter, Emily.”
