School News New students come to BT from far and wide In a recent article published on Jewishideas.org, Mrs. Zipora Schorr, Beth Tfiloh’s Director of Education, described the ideal Jewish school: “It is a school that teaches not only children but families, a school where the role of the family is acknowledged and valued, a school where it is understood that the family and school have an important symbiotic relationship which enhances both.” As Beth Tfilohs starts the 2016-17 school year, we welcome 71 new families to our warm community — families whose presence and participation will enhance and strengthen the partnership between all of our families and our School. These 143 new students—from PreSchool through High School—are joining us from a wide range of Jewish, independent and public schools: Bais Yaakov Baltimore Actors Theatre Conservatory Bay Academy in New York Bet Yeladim Preschool Beth Israel Preschool Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School Chatsworth School Clarksville Elementary & Middle School Fort Garrison Elementary Franklin Middle School • Friends School Glyndon Elementary Greenspring Montessori JCC – Owings Mills Jemicy School Krieger Schechter Middle School Ner Israel Yeshiva High School Ner Tamid Montessori North Frederick Elementary School The Odyssey School Pikesville Middle School Seven Oaks Elementary Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School Summit Park Elementary Talmudical Academy The Silver Academy (Harrisburg, PA) We welcome all our new students and their families to our diverse Jewish community for a year of learning, joy and growth! 8

Support The Israel Bonds High Holy Days Appeal Not just your grandparents’ Israel bonds, we can be your Israel bonds too because of changes making investing, reinvesting, and redeeming Israel bonds simpler and faster. With investment options beginning at $100 and gift bonds starting at $36 (available online) Israel bonds are accessible to almost everyone. Currently, terms range from 2-10 years, bonds are held in book-entry form (no certificates to lose or forget about) and redemption checks are mailed automatically at maturity or a maturity check can be used to reinvest. An Israel Bonds investment at this time says you stand with Israel – a country that educates, builds, and innovates; a nation that lives by democracy, liberty and human rights/ freedoms for all people. Each investment rejects the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement and enables the development of a country known for producing technologies and innovations that connect, feed, and heal the world.
Bonds campaign is derived in part from the synagogue’s appeals and once again, Howard Rosenblatt will be chairing the Beth Tfiloh Israel Bond appeal.
