Remembering Those Who Built Us, Standing for What Comes Next
the Dedication of a New Torah Cover
The Torah is lifted, dressed, carried, and read - week after week, year after year. Its covers may seem like a small detail, but they stand witness to some of the most defining moments in our Jewish lives.
We’re grateful to share that beautiful new handmade Torah covers have been created for the Epstein Chapel by acclaimed Judaic artist Jeanette Kuvin Oren, whose work can be found in synagogues across the country.
For the children and grandchildren of Nathan and Vivian Sefret, dedicating a Torah cover became a deeply personal way to honor parents whose lives were woven into the fabric of our shul. We asked Shawn Sefret and Sheri Whelpley, their children, to reflect on what this dedication means, and their words speak to their family’s story and to the kind of community we continue to build together.
WHAT DREW YOU TO A TORAH COVER AS A WAY TO HONOR YOUR PARENTS, RATHER THAN ANOTHER FORM OF MEMORIAL? WHEN YOU IMAGINE THIS TORAH BEING LIFTED, CARRIED, AND READ FROM - WEEK AFTER WEEK - WHAT FEELS MOST MEANINGFUL TO YOU?
Our parents were practical people and dedicated workers in service to the synagogue that was central to their lives for the entirety of their marriage. While neither sought recognition for their efforts, they were appreciated by their community. There is a parallel to the Torah cover, quietly doing its job, mostly without fanfare, but getting its time to shine during the Torah service.
Their reflection reminds us that not every legacy is loud. Some are steady, faithful, and reliable week after week, much like the Torah cover itself!
WHEN YOU PICTURE YOUR PARENTS IN A JEWISH SETTING, WHAT DO YOU SEE? HOW DID YOUR PARENTS UNDERSTAND THE IDEA OF BELONGING TO A SYNAGOGUE - NOT JUST ATTENDING, BUT BEING PART OF IT?
For both of our parents, shul was part of their daily lives. At Winands Road Synagogue, not only could Dad be counted on for shacharis and mincha/maariv – every day, without fail - he also served in a variety of roles over 50 years, including a long tenure as President. At a place like Winands, the Presidency came with such privileges as setting up chairs in the social hall, figuring out how to pay the bills, dealing with overturned monuments at the cemetery, and preparing the food for Shabbos kiddush (with BT’s own Alan Maier). Mom participated in many of these adventures, as she was the long-time shul secretary.
Reading this, it’s easy to envision a generation for whom synagogue life was foundational, not just something you do on holidays or for simchas.
“A Torah cover is both symbolic and practical, and a fitting tribute for two people who valued meaning and action in equal measure.”
WHAT CHANGED FOR YOUR FATHER AS BETH TFILOH BECAME HIS SPIRITUAL HOME AFTER SO MANY YEARS AT WINANDS ROAD SYNAGOGUE?
At the time of the merger, Dad was already 91, and while he initially continued his practice of davening at every minyan, there was probably a sense of relief that his presence was not necessary to make sure a minyan took place, as had been the case over the last few years at Winands. He soon took the opportunity to sleep in once in a while. To our surprise, he easily adapted to the service in the main sanctuary, where a small crowd on Shabbos meant 250 congregants as opposed to 25. He just loved being in shul, whether that meant leading from the bimah or participating from the congregation. We also suspect he did not mind.
There’s something profoundly moving about that image - a man who loved being in shul, and was at ease, whether leading from the bimah or sitting amongst hundreds.
WAS THERE A PHRASE, HABIT, OR WAY YOUR PARENTS SHOWED UP THAT STILL ECHOES IN YOUR OWN LIFE TODAY?
Less talking, more doing. Our parents were more inclined to roll up their sleeves and get to work, than they were to talk about what needed to be done, or look for someone to delegate to. They led by example, and we think some of that rubbed off.
It’s a simple philosophy, but one that builds communities by quietly and consistently leading by example.
IF YOUR PARENTS COULD SEE THIS TORAH COVER IN USE, WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD MATTER MOST TO THEM?
For Mom it probably would have been pride in the lasting legacy it creates, from generation to generation. For Dad it would be the practical connection to the Torah service. Among Dad’s many roles was regularly serving as a gabbai, so he would have a loved knowing that this gift will be put to use in protecting the Torah between aliyot on the shulchan, or while the Torah is at rest in the ark.
A Torah cover is both symbolic and practical, and a fitting tribute for two people who valued meaning and action in equal measure.
WHAT DO YOU HOPE SOMEONE WHO NEVER KNEW YOUR PARENTS MIGHT SENSE OR LEARN ABOUT THEM THROUGH THIS DEDICATION?
Family – in the home and in the shul community – were the most important thing to our parents, even though their childhoods were very different. Mom lost both of her parents in her teens, and did not have a formal religious upbringing, while Dad had both of his parents well into adulthood, and nostalgically recalled his years at Talmudical Academy, first on Baltimore Street near his parents’ home and grocery store, and then on Cottage Avenue, which he reached by streetcar. Despite our parents’ differences, they were united in their commitment to building a strong Jewish connection in their children, with synagogue life playing a central role.
The Sefret’s story reminds us that synagogue life is layered. It’s certainly about attending and being present, but also about belonging and building something that continues long after we do.
As these Torah covers are lifted and read from over the years, they’ll be there for celebrations and milestones we haven’t even imagined yet, quietly bearing witness to people like the Sefrets who sustain this community, day after day, and year after year.
Two Torah covers remain available for dedication. If you would like to learn more about creating a tribute that will live on in our Epstein Chapel, please contact the Development Office (mmiller@btfiloh.org ).
VIEW FROM THE BIMA
THREE OCTOBER 8ths
By Rabbi Chai Posner
Pesach arrives each year with the promise of spring – a promise of rebirth and renewal. No matter how cold or dark the winter has been, the earth reminds us that change is possible. Growth returns. Light pushes back.
It is no accident that Pesach falls in the spring. In fact, the Torah insists on it. Because the Jewish calendar follows the moon while the seasons follow the sun, Pesach could easily drift into other seasons. That is why we have leap years – to keep Pesach anchored in spring. The message is subtle but profound: redemption must be experienced in a season of hope.
We were slaves in Egypt. It was dark. And then we were redeemed. So too, Jewish time teaches us that winter never has the final word. Spring follows.
This reality has been especially palpable since October 7th. There was October 7th, and then there was October 8th. Not just one October 8th, but three. Let me explain.
The first October 8th was October 8th, 2023 – the day after the unthinkable.
Journalist Bret Stephens coined the phrase “October 8th Jews” to describe something many of us recognized immediately: Jews who had not been connected or especially affiliated, or who had kept their Jewishness quiet.
And then something shifted.
Synagogues filled. Volunteer efforts surged. Missions to Israel formed overnight. College students who once avoided being visibly Jewish wore Magen Davids openly. We felt united – even as we felt newly exposed.
When Stephens spoke of “October 8th Jews,” he was largely referring to liberal Jews. For them, October 7th shattered the belief that acceptance in progressive spaces guaranteed safety. When Jews were slaughtered, too many allies disappeared. Some justified the violence. Some explained it away. Some blamed the victims. These Jews found themselves alone.
It took a bit longer for conservative Jews to feel the same. But more recently, Jews on the political right have begun to experience a parallel realization – that their assumed “safe
spaces” were not as secure as they thought either. Their allies, too, turned on them.
October 7th gave birth to October 8th Jews.
The numbers reflected what we felt. Surveys showed that 43% of American Jews became more Jewishly engaged in the immediate aftermath – an extraordinary shift. Nearly half of American Jews changed their behavior: more learning, more community, more connection.
Did it last? Surprisingly, yes. Some drop-offs were inevitable, but eighteen months later, 31% were still more engaged than before. Seventy-three percent wanted to learn more about Israel and Jewish history. Aliyah from North America rose by 12%. From France, it doubled.
That first October 8th was a wake-up call – painful, disorienting, and unmistakably real.
The second October 8th came at the end of this past January, on the day that Ran Gvili – the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza – was returned for burial. It was a day many of us prayed for, hoped for, and if we are honest, we were not sure we would ever see.
At Hostage Square, the clock read: 843 days, 12 hours, and 6 minutes since October 7th. But for the families of hostages, for Israel, for Jews everywhere – time had been suspended. The calendar moved, but October 7th never truly ended.
Until January 26th, 2026.
With Ran’s return, we were finally able – painfully, and with overwhelming relief – to turn the page. Around the world, people removed their hostage pins. The final Kabbalat Shabbat at Hostage Square took place – the 120th. Ad meah v’esrim – until a hundred and twenty.
Here at Beth Tfiloh, we removed the empty yellow chair that had waited in our lobby.
If the first October 8th was a wake-up call, this second October 8th was something else entirely: a breath. An exhale.
But relief carries its own danger. When the moment passes, memory fades.
When we move forward, we often forget what we were moving away from. Jewish tradition warns us about this repeatedly. That is why the Torah commands us, repeatedly, to remember that we were slaves in Egypt – not only on Pesach, but every day of the year.
Pesach intensifies that memory because freedom without memory is fragile. We remember where we came from to know where we are meant to go.
Now that it is finally October 8th again, we face the same question: do we move away from what happened, or toward what we are meant to build?
We are now living in the third October 8th. It took more than two and a half years to feel as though we are finally living after October 7th.
And we must decide which lessons remain.
What did we learn as a people?
What did we learn about ourselves?
How were we changed by the challenges we faced? And how will Jewish life actually look different because of it?
The world after October 7th is not the world we lived in before. We cannot remain stuck in the past, doing the “same old” things we did before. If we do, then nothing truly has changed.
This moment calls for intention. For creativity. For big thinking, and for renewed energy.
The third October 8th is still being written.
We are all, now, October 8th Jews.
October 8th – 10/8 – equals 18. Chai.
We are living in a time of Am Yisrael Chai – and it is a time for renewed living.
The question of this season is not whether we survived. We did. The question is what kind of life we choose to build now.
And that choice, like every true beginning, starts today.

SCHOOL OF THOUGHT
What Children Need from School Right Now
Ms. Bracha Rutner, Head of School
As we head into the heart of the school year, I have been thinking about what children most need from school right now. February can be a funny stretch: the newness of September is long gone, the days are still short, and everyone is working hard. Snow may still be on the ground, yet we are getting closer to spring. It’s a perfect moment to pause, take stock, and make sure we are staying anchored in what matters most.
In that spirit, I have been thinking about a simple question: when a child walks into school each morning, what should they be able to count on?
I recently revisited an article by Valerie Strauss that highlights six essential needs for children in today’s day and age. What I appreciated most is that it does not reduce school to only grades or homework completion alone. It frames school as a place where a child learns both content and how to be a valued member of a larger community.
Here are six anchors worth keeping in mind, for educators and parents alike:
A child needs to feel known and wanted. Not “praised for being perfect,” but genuinely seen. When children feel they belong, they are more willing to speak up, take risks, and try again after they fail.
A child needs emotional steadiness before academic progress.
Children struggle to make academic progress if their emotional needs are unmet. When children feel safe, they can be challenged. When they feel threatened, they may shut down or act out.
A child needs to bring their whole self into the room.
Every child arrives with a story: family, background, strengths, sensitivities, and experiences. When we honor the fullness of who children are, learning deepens and empathy grows. They learn to listen to someone whose life doesn’t look like their own.
A child needs to feel capable, not helpless. Kids hear a lot about what’s broken in the world. If all they absorb is fear, they may begin to believe that nothing they do matters. School should counter that with opportunities to contribute, lead, build, and repair. Agency is not a slogan - It’s a lived experience.
A child needs space for curiosity.
Curiosity is not a luxury. It’s fuel. The learning that lasts is often the learning that begins with a real question, a surprising discovery, or a teacher who is willing to pause and go deeper because the students are genuinely engaged.
A child needs strong skills and real mastery. Children need to learn to read closely, write clearly, think mathematically, and build knowledge. This mastery grows best in a setting where children feel connected, stable, and motivated.
This does not mean we need to “do more,” rather that we can pay attention to different signals. Not only, “What grade did you earn on the test?” but also:
n “Did you feel like you belonged today?”
n “Was anything hard, and did you keep going?”
n “Did you feel proud of your effort?”
n “Did you feel curious about anything?”
n “Did you do something that helped someone else?”
When these needs are met, school becomes more than a place children go. It becomes a place that shapes them. At BT, we strive to be a community where children feel like they belong and are loved and appreciated.
BT-Florida Connection
Nearly forty Beth Tfiloh members, grandparents, and parents of alumni gathered in Florida this February for our annual BT gettogether. Though miles from Baltimore, the connection among the group is long-standing and strong, built on decades of shared love for Beth Tfiloh and a deep commitment to its future.
Fran and Steve Pruce graciously hosted a beautiful lunch in their home, setting the tone for a relaxed and meaningful afternoon together. Rabbi Posner reminisced with guests and shared his vision for Beth Tfiloh’s bright future, including exciting new initiatives for the shul and plans for much needed and welcomed sanctuary enhancements.
Most of the people who came out for the day have been connected to Beth Tfiloh for decades, sharing simchas and time together, so it was really a chance to visit with old friends, catch up, and celebrate our shared love and connection for the school and shul, and how meaningful it continues to be for today’s families.
For Ms. Bracha Rutner, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet face-to-face with some of our most generous donors, hear firsthand the impact Beth Tfiloh has had on their lives, and share her impressions about her first year in the community.
It was an afternoon full of conversation, warmth, and genuine connection - exactly the kind of gathering that reflects the heart of our Beth Tfiloh community.
What Does It Mean to Be an Ivri
The Jewish year is filled with many moments of renewal I’m sure you’ll read about in this wonderful publication from my honored colleagues. Passover takes place in the spring as nature renews. Rosh Hashanah serves as a renewal each fall, and Tu B’Shevat in the dead of winter is a celebration of our faith that nature is renewing. The new moon each month, and Yom Ha’atzmaut after Passover are both, in their own ways, symbols of national renewal. But what strikes me as interesting is a type of personal renewal that is hinted in the heart of the verses that dedicate the Mishkan
I know that following the intricate rituals that were part of the korbanot (sacrifices) the Torah teaches about is not everyone’s type of a good time. I suspect that to some people it’s all, “blah, blah, wave, blah, blah, sprinkle, blah, blah, kidneys and the fat on the kidneys,” and it seems foreign and gross. And I get that. But allow me a moment to try and shine the spotlight on one very interesting note. (That’s a great pun, but you don’t know why yet.)
Hashem tells Moshe to command the Jewish people in all the intricate work of building the Mishkan and its accoutrements. Then He tells Moshe that Aharon and his sons will be the priests, simultaneously acting as G-d’s representatives to the Jewish people and also the representatives of the Jewish people to G-d. The dedication of Aharon and his sons will take place over a seven day period before the Mishkan is “officially open for business,” and as you might have guessed, it will involve a bunch of that, “blah, blah, sprinkle the blood, blah blah, wave the foreleg.”
In the intricate dance that these sacrifices really are, there is a moment when Moshe stops acting as a temporary priest and
hands the reigns to Aharon. That moment is in Vayikra 8:22. “And he slaughtered it, and Moshe took its blood and placed it...” On that word “And he slaughtered –Vayishchat” the trop (the cantillation mark) is a Shalshelet
The Shalshelet is a note that raises and lowers three times. In only shows up a few times in the whole Torah. When Lot’s wife delays, looking back and unable to move forward, we have a Shalshelet to show her delay. Yosef is at the height of his test resisting Mrs. Potiphar and was seconds away from succumbing; we have a Shalshelet to show that he delayed. And here again, the same note shows that Aharon is delaying. Why the delay? What’s Aharon’s concern?
Our sages say that Aharon had a “Who am I?” moment. What we now call imposter syndrome. Aharon wondered how he could have earned the exalted position he was now called to as the representative of the Jewish people and, in some respects, the representative of Hashem Himself. At that moment, Aharon paused, but then renewed his faith in himself, and his trust that this was the work he was called to do.
Renewal is about a lot of things, but I think it’s also about reinvigorating our sense of our talents and abilities and doing the work we know we’re capable of.
Wishing you a Chag Kasher V’Sameach.

INITIATIVE
Build the Ark, Carry the Future
Since October 7, BT has been our anchor, a place to pray, process, and keep going. It is more than a school or synagogue. It is where Jewish identity is supported, celebrated, and strengthened. But the challenges we face are not temporary. They are deep and generational, and our response must be just as lasting.
The Ark Initiative asks our community to make Beth Tfiloh one of their top three philanthropic priorities.
Generations before us built the foundation of BT. If we want Jewish life to thrive, we must continue building boldly so our children see that BT is not just a place they attend. It is where their Jewish identity is rooted and nurtured.
Through the Ark Initiative, we are investing in exceptional education, outstanding teachers, strong security, deeper Israel connections, engaged alumni, and expanded scholarships so every child who belongs at BT can be here.
Ready to add your plank to the Ark?

BT in AM
Mondays, 9:30am
March-May (3rd trimester)
Class 1 (9:30-10:20am) - Contemporary Voices on the Parsha; Presented by faculty and guest presenters; Explore a range of scholarly, spiritual, and philosophical interpretations from some of the most influential voices in modern Jewish thought – from the philosophical insights of Rav Joseph B. Soloveitchik, to the close textual analysis of Nechama Leibowitz, to the Chassidic and mystical teachings of Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, and the ethical and societal insights of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. Our in-house faculty and guest presenters will help bring these voices into conversation with one another – and with us - opening new vistas in Parsha study through a thoughtful, contemporary lens.
Class 2 (10:30-11:30am) - Character Counts; Presented by Rabbi Chai Posner; What does it really mean to be a committed Jew? How can Jewish life shape our character, our choices, and the people we strive to become in the modern world? Too often, religious practice centers on actions alone, without asking how those practices shape us internally. Together, we’ll explore Jewish values and character traits and how they guide a life of meaningful service to God, because religious commitment isn’t just about what we doit’s about who we become.

Soul on Fire Screening with Elisha
Wiesel
4/13, Monday, 6:30pm
Join us for a screening of Soul on Fire. Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald, we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel’s searing and widely read memoir Night. Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016)—his passions, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives, original interviews and employing hand painted animation, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor, writer, teacher, public figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner. We will be joined by Elisha Wiesel, Chairman of the Board of the Elie Wiesel Foundation and son of Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. Elisha is an American businessman, hedge fund manager, social activist, and philanthropist. Mintzes Theatre

WOMEN’S PROGRAMMING
Women & Wisdom
4/14, 5/12, Tuesdays, 7:30pm
The Story Behind the Story; Led by Mrs. Slavaticki, Rabbi Chai Posner, and Rabbi Dr. Eliyahu Yoggev
Explore the timeless narratives of the Torah in a way that goes well beyond the version we think we know. This class looks beneath the surface of familiar stories - the forbidden fruit, Noah and the Flood, the Binding of Isaac, the Stolen Blessings, Jacob and his wives, and Joseph and his brothers - and asks what are they really teaching us? What do these questions reveal about human nature, relationships, faith, and God? Through close reading and thoughtful discussion, we’ll consider the moral, psychological, and spiritual layers within these powerful narratives - seeking not only to understand what happened, but why it continues to matter.
