CHESED at BT
Meaningful chesed opportunities for every age and stage Caring for others is a core value at Beth Tfiloh and an important part of our Jewish tradition. Whether it’s visiting a synagogue member who could use some company or preparing and serving a meal at a Baltimore soup kitchen, there are many ways to lend a hand and strengthen our community. If you’re interested in volunteering or know of someone who could benefit from a helping hand, we’d love to hear from you.
CHANA
BT volunteers have prepared dinners for CHANA families and assembled court bags for clients navigating judicial proceedings related to domestic abuse.
North Oaks
To learn more about becoming a BT Chesed volunteer, visit bethtfiloh.com/chesed or contact Joan Feldman (jfeldman@btfiloh.org).
Our young families have joined Mr. Brian Singer at North Oaks for festive sing-alongs during Chanukah, Purim, and before Shabbat, bringing music and joy to seniors in our community.
The BT Chesed Committee supports a variety of projects throughout our community and beyond. Here are just a few of the ways volunteers have been making a difference:
Beth Tfiloh
Paul’s Place
We’ve built a special partnership with Paul’s Place, an outreach center serving low-income families in South Baltimore. Our volunteers have packed lunches, served meals, prepared casseroles, and collected toiletries and hot beverages for those in need. FALL 2026
Chesed begins at home. Within our own BT community, volunteers visit ill and homebound members, coordinate meal trains, and stay connected through our Minyan Makers WhatsApp group which helps ensure members in mourning have the support of a minyan when they need it. If you’d like to be part of this important mitzvah, contact Rabbi Wecker (cwecker@btfiloh.org).

BETH TFILOH:
PRAYING TOGETHER By Rabbi Chai Posner
As we look ahead to the High Holidays, my favorite moment of the entire year comes at the end of Yom Kippur. From speaking with so many of you, I know I am not alone. It’s been a long day. We are physically tired, emotionally drained, and spiritually full. The final moments of Yom Kippur are slipping away. Our beautiful sanctuary is filled with hundreds of people standing for one last prayer: Ne’ilah. I stand on the bimah and look out at the congregation, but I can barely see. The setting sun streams through the back of the sanctuary, and I can barely see. I close my eyes. And then something shifts. It’s difficult to describe, but you can feel it. The distractions of everyday life have faded away. We are no longer thinking about work, emails, or errands. I’m not even thinking about my empty stomach or my need for caffeine. 6
BETH TFILOH BULLETIN
All that’s left is a feeling of connection - a sense of purpose and the awareness that we are part of something larger than ourselves. We are fully present, standing before God as a community. I wish we could bottle that feeling and carry it with us throughout the year. What if we could? What if every Shabbat could capture just a little of that magical Ne’ilah feeling?
FALL 2026
Of course, we can never make an ordinary Shabbat feel exactly like Ne’ilah. Part of what makes those closing moments so powerful is that they come only once a year. And the excitement probably also has something to do with knowing that in just a few minutes we’ll be enjoying those little oily, sugary miracles we call munchkins. Still, Ne’ilah has something to teach us. Praying with ruach and energy feels different, and singing with enthusiasm and hearts full of joy has a way of lifting everyone in the room. Years ago, the Ne’ilah service looked a little different. Chazzan Albrecht led together with the choir. It was beautiful, polished and professional. But we wondered if one small change might make a difference. Instead of the choir standing with the chazzan, what if the rabbis surrounded him? To Chazzan Albrecht’s everlasting credit, he didn’t hesitate. He smiled and said, “Let’s try it.” The choir sounded magnificent, and no one would suggest otherwise. But something shifted. It began to feel less like watching a service and more like being part of one. We were praying together. That experience has stayed with me ever since. In many ways, it has shaped how we’ve thought about our upcoming sanctuary renovation. While moments of inspiration can never be planned, we can create a space that invites them. That’s our goal: to create more moments that capture the spirit of Ne’ilah. One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is that the bimah will move closer to the center of the sanctuary and be surrounded by seating. New aisles will make it easier for people to gather closer to the bimah and to each other. It’s a simple change in layout, but I believe it can make a profound difference in how we experience prayer as a community. We have always loved our sanctuary. It inspires awe. It connects us to the generations who built this congregation with such vision and sacrifice. This renovation begins with preserving everything that has made this room so special.
מקרב שכן מקרב שכינה “When we bring neighbors closer together, we bring the Divine Presence closer as well.” We love this sanctuary deeply, and this renovation is about ensuring that future generations can experience the same sense of connection that so many of us have found here over the years. Every generation prays a little differently. There was a time when grand architecture and formal services were exactly what people were looking for. They lifted people’s eyes toward Heaven. They still can. Today, many people are also searching for something else. They want to know the people sitting beside them. They want to feel part of a community. They want prayer to be something we experience together, not simply something we attend. That’s the vision behind this renovation. This year’s Ne’ilah will be our last in the sanctuary as we’ve known it in recent years. I’ll savor those moments – the setting sun streaming through the windows, the sound of the shofar, and the feeling of standing together as one community before God. I’ll spend a few extra moments appreciating this beautiful sanctuary and all the memories it has given us. And then I’ll look forward to the next Ne’ilah. The sun will once again stream through those same windows. I suspect I’ll still close my eyes. The shofar will still echo through the room, and we’ll still stand together before God as one community. Perhaps we can’t bottle the feeling of Ne’ilah. But maybe – just maybe – we can bring a little more of it into every Shabbat we share together. Week after week, we’ll have another opportunity to gather in prayer and remember what it feels like to stand before God as one community. May the year ahead bring us more moments that feel like Ne’ilah, and may those moments stay with us long after the final blast of the shofar. Shanah Tovah!
But every generation has the responsibility to ask how our sacred spaces can best serve the next one. Uri Avin, who has expertly helped lead this process from the very beginning, coined a phrase that beautifully captures the vision behind the project: FALL 2026

Our Sanctuary Enhanced. Our Community Connected. THE SACRED SPACE CAMPAIGN These improvements represent a $5 million investment in the future of Beth Tfiloh. Thanks to the leadership of the Haron Dahan Foundation, whose lead gift launched the campaign, along with several other foundational donors who have helped to get our campaign off the ground, we have raised more than $3.6 million towards our $5 million goal and we are now inviting our community to help bring this project to completion through the Sacred Space Campaign. For generations, Beth Tfiloh’s Dahan Sanctuary has been the place where our community gathers for prayer and inspiration, celebrates life’s milestones, and supports one another through difficult times. It is the spiritual heart of our congregation. In the fall of 2026, following the High Holidays, we will begin construction on thoughtfully designed enhancements to our sanctuary that will preserve its beauty and architectural character while creating a more welcoming and comfortable space. Improved lighting, acoustics, seating, and accessibility will enhance the davening experience for all who gather there.

SCHOOL OF THOUGHT How to Let Our Students Know They Matter Ms. Bracha Rutner, Head of School The beginning of a school year always brings a feeling of possibility. Students return to familiar hallways and enter new classrooms. Teachers prepare lessons, routines, and goals. Parents help children adjust to new schedules and responsibilities. Across our school, there is the energy of beginning again. As I think about the year ahead, one question feels especially important: How do we make sure every child knows that they matter? This summer, I read Mattering by Jennifer Breheny Wallace. Her central message is that human beings need two things: to feel valued by others and to know that they add value to the world. Mattering is not the same as being praised, busy, successful, popular, or impressive, but rather the deeper knowledge that my presence counts, my efforts are seen, and my actions can make a positive difference. At BT, the year ahead is not only about what our students will learn, though we care deeply about that, but also about who they are becoming. A strong school year is measured not only by grades, programs, or accomplishments, but by the ways our students learn to take responsibility, build relationships, understand that their choices affect others, and see themselves as people who can contribute. That kind of growth depends on our students feeling known. A child feels he or she matters when an adult notices effort that might otherwise go unseen, when a teacher remembers what is hard for them and what helps them succeed, when a coach or advisor trusts a student with real responsibility, or when a friend recognizes that someone needs to be included. Mattering is built when students know that their presence changes the room, that their absence would be felt, and that they are needed not only for what they can produce, but for who they are. The work of a school community happens in classrooms, Judaics, athletics, the arts, student support, tefillah, advisory, assemblies, chesed projects, and in ordinary hallway conversations. In all of these places, our goal is for students to be challenged and supported, seen clearly, and to learn how to see others with that same care.
FALL 2026
It also happens at home. One of the most powerful messages our children can hear from us is that we see beyond their achievement. While we are proud of their grades, performances, and accomplishments, children also need to know that we notice their character: when they include someone, try again after disappointment, show patience or courage, and make an impact on the people around them. It’s natural to ask our children, “How did you do?” But what happens when we also ask, “Who did you help?” “What did you contribute?” “Where did you grow?” or “When did you feel proud of the person you were becoming?” Those questions help them build a deeper and healthier sense of self and remind them that their value isn’t only found in what they accomplish but also in who they are becoming. In Jewish life, this is deeply connected to areyvut - mutual responsibility. We are responsible for one another. We are not meant to live only for ourselves, but meant to notice, care, contribute, and lift up one another. Wallace uses the image of a cornerman - the person in a boxer’s corner who offers perspective, honesty, care, and encouragement. A cornerman does not fight the fight for the boxer, but makes sure the boxer never feels alone in the ring. That is what we want for our students: people in their corner who know them, believe in them, challenge them, and help them keep going. Just as importantly, we want them to become people who stand in someone else’s corner too. As we begin this school year, I hope each of us will carry a simple question: Who can I help feel seen, valued, needed, and known? If we can do that for one another, then we will not only have a strong start to the school year, we will build the kind of community our children deserve. Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the school year and a Shana Tova!

THE OPERATIVE D’VAR TORAH WORD
by Dan Silien, Executive Director
Stepping Stones Toward Growth By Rabbi Dr. Eliyahu Yoggev There once was an angry farmer who owned an old mule. One day, the mule fell into the farmer’s well and began braying, crying out in distress. The farmer came over, looked into the well, and assessed the situation. The mule was old, and the farmer had never cared for the mule very much. The well had not been used for decades. So, the grouchy farmer decided that neither one was worth saving. He began shoveling dirt into the well, planning to close it up, leaving the old mule inside. At first, the mule was startled and frightened. Shovel after shovel of dirt came down and landed on the mule’s back. It looked like there was no way out. But then the mule instinctively realized something. Every time a shovel full of dirt landed on its back, the mule could shake it off and then step up onto that same earth, raising itself to a higher level.
So that is what the mule did. Another shovel of dirt came down. The mule shook it off and stepped up. Another shovel. The mule shook it off and stepped even higher. Again and again, the dirt kept coming. But instead of letting the dirt bury it, the mule used it to rise higher. After enough shovels of dirt, the old mule was able to step right over the wall of the well and walk out, much to the farmer’s surprise and great chagrin. Sometimes in life, our challenges and failures feel like too much for us to handle. But in those moments, we have a choice. Will we let those things pull us down, or will we use them to step up higher? Of course, not every challenge disappears and not every pain goes away. But sometimes the things that feel like
they are pushing us down can become the very things that pick us up. This year, as you engage in the teshuva (repentance) process leading into the High Holidays, please consider the meaningful lesson of this parable. Reflect upon how personal challenges can become stepping stones toward growth. Ask yourself: What is one challenge from this past year that helped you become a better person? What is one current struggle or difficulty that, with the right perspective, can become a source of growth? It is not always easy to change. But just as this old mule could learn a new trick, so too can we find new ways to progress and transform the negative in our lives into a positive. May it come true for us this year! Wishing you a healthy and happy new year!

I N I T I AT I V E
Build the Ark, Carry the Future Beth Tfiloh’s Ark Initiative is simple: we’re asking our community to make BT one of their top three philanthropic priorities. In his 2025 State of World Jewry address, Dan Senor, co-author of The Genius of Israel and Start-Up Nation, said something that stuck with us: we may not be able to stop the tsunami, but we can build an Ark, one strong enough to survive the storm and help us rebuild something better on the other side. BT is already something special - a premier Jewish day school, a vibrant Modern Orthodox synagogue, and a warm and inclusive community, all with a deep connection to Israel. But in a time like this, holding steady isn’t enough. To face challenges like this, we need to grow, deepen our Jewish learning and spirit, invest in our faculty, and energize our shul and help it continue to thrive. What we give our children - and their children - needs to have structure and the ability to endure. Judaism is joyful, magnetic, and deeply rooted, with a profound history. With bold investment we can create that kind of future, renewing what it means to be proudly Jewish, and steering it towards something enduring. Without it, we risk our Jewish families turning inward, students may feel isolated, and the next generation may lack the tools, the pride, or the will to carry Jewish identity forward.
We’re building something that matters. We ask you to add your plank to the Ark. Join the 60 BT families who have already signed the pledge! “For our family, supporting Beth Tfiloh and signing on to the Ark Pledge to make BT one of our top three philanthropic priorities is about investing in our Jewish continuity. Both of our parents chose BT for our families and we are blessed to make that same choice for our three daughters. BT has been far more than a school and synagogue. It has been the community that helped shape our family’s Jewish identity, values, love of Israel, and lifelong friendships. As our children begin the next chapter of their lives, we’re grateful for the foundation BT has given them, and we’re proud to make sure future generations have that same opportunity.” -Stephanie and Dave Baron
