NISAN 5782 | APRIL 2022| VOLUME 100 ISSUE 70
RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES Mah nishtanah ha’lielah ha’zeh. The famous question! Why, or How, is this night different from all others? For the last two years our Pesach seders have looked vastly different. For the vast majority of us, our seders were small in number, often accompanied by Zoom or FaceTime. It was not the way the rabbis envisioned the seder taking place and yet, we had no choice. Rabbi Melman
Pesach is my favorite holiday. I love the cleaning and koshering the kitchen (and yes, I do both of those), and cooking for this special holiday. I get excited about the seder and the traditions that have been passed down to us through the generations of our family as well as new traditions that Elisa and I have adopted over the years. And this year, more than ever, I look forward to being with people (outside of my household) at the seder. I look forward to our traditional Pesach kiddushim here at CBS. I love Howard Freidin’s potato kugel and all the other treats we get to eat. And, to put it simply, I just can’t wait to be together. More and more people have started to come back to shul on a regular basis and I hope with this holiday season, warmer
weather, and our snowbirds returning, even more people will be back to celebrate the Festival of Freedom. Festival of Freedom. That seems to take on a new meaning for us this year. We are certainly feeling a new sense of freedom this year and I hope and pray that we can continue to feel this way. While we continue to proceed with a sense of cautious optimism, we are finding our way to live as we transition from pandemic to endemic. I know that there are those that are still not able to attend large Pesach gatherings at this point, and I pray that the time will soon come when they can. There are two main requirements at the Seder. Both of these requirements are mentioned in the Talmud. The first requirement is that someone has to ask a question, and the second is to tell of the Exodus from Egypt. Our Haggadah deals with the issue of questions by having someone ask the Four Questions. This is a part of the Haggadah that is probably done at most homes for two reasons. First, it comes toward the beginning; and second, it is a part customarily reserved in many households for the “youngest” person at the table, giving that person an opportunity to show off what they learned. There are many unanswered questions that the pandemic has given us. I think as we ask Mah nishtanah ha’lielah ha’zeh at the seder this year, we will have many different answers and we will be able to appreciate what we have. Chag v’Kasher Sameach

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Bob Spector
Shalom Chaverim,
Ahhhhh, spring is here which means we have just finished joyously celebrating Purim and Passover is just around the corner, two holidays that represent our ancestors’ strength to conquer their fears caused by oppression and tyranny securing our future as a Jewish people. A world without the COVID virus is not likely, but staying connected to family, friends, and community can mitigate our anxieties and fears. Our strength to survive for 5782 years comes from our belief in the power of our connection to our faith and the Jewish community. I have come to realize that there are two environments that melt away my unpleasant feelings: my home and CBS. While I rationally know that neither can offer me full invulnerability, it sure beats the feelings of insecurity I often feel outside of my two homes. I would like to share two recent events that have strengthened my resolve to stay strong and hopeful, and not to be ruled by the unknown. I just saw the musical Come From Away. If you are not familiar with this true story, it is about the small town of Gander, Newfoundland whose citizens cared for over 7000 passengers who were on 38 airplanes that were diverted to the Gander airport from the U.S. immediately after the 911 attacks. The town had a minimal government infrastructure to handle such a crisis. Yet, by collaboratively coming together as a community they welcomed, embraced, and cared for these 7000 scared strangers. It is an inspiring story that exemplifies the power of kindness and the strength of a group of people who felt empowered based on the relationships they had with each other. The second event occurred right here at CBS. I had the privilege of being a member of our most recent Rabbi Search committee. I believe all of us on that committee would agree that it was a very special and perhaps profound experience. Many of us did not know each other prior to the formation of the committee. We were a very demographically diverse group by age (30 year spread), career, and family status (from grandparents to parents with young children). During an eight-week period we easily worked 50-100 hours, carrying the weight and expectations of our community to find the best possible Rabbi for CBS. We started off as a group of individuals and we ended as a cohesive group. Several members have commented to me that serving on this committee has been a highlight of their CBS membership. How could this be? Too many hours, too many late-night meetings, and too much stress and pressure - yet with our goal achieved the end was met with both the joy of success and the sadness of our group being disbanded. What made this experience so special was more than the importance of our singular mission. What we had in common with the town of Gander and their ability to welcome their uninvited guests was that we took the time to get to know each other by sharing our stories and our values. Once that happened, our demographic differences became irrelevant. Relational Judaism 101 my friends. The power of community and our connectedness to it, can provide incredible strength during times that pull at our fears, worries, and insecurities. We have a social structure in place through our YACHAD Affinity Groups program to bring people together through their common interests. But we also have many committees at CBS that are also opportunities to get involved and to get to know your fellow members. You do not have to be on the Board of Trustees to join most of these committees. For those of you who chair these committees, I ask that you take a few minutes from the demands of the work to provide our members the chance to truly get to know each other. The more connected we are as a community the stronger we are to take on any challenges we face both individually and collectively. L'Shalom, Bob APRIL 2022• VOLUME 100 ISSUE 70

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S EDITORIAL Michael Garlin
PATIENCE I am writing this word in CAPS as today while I am writing this article my patience is running thin. How do I slow the rush and enjoy more happiness, success, and peace of mind every day? I know I can change my level of patience with the right attitude and a bit of practice. I know I can learn to harness the power of patience in my life, and you can as well.
I believe it’s a combination of motivation (wanting to), awareness (paying attention to our inner landscape), and cultivation (practicing). I believe this is the formula to fix a lot of things in our lives. The best example is wanting to lose weight, this takes incredible patience as I’ve been trying to do this for 56 years. What can patience do for us, why it’s so crucial now, and how to become more patient? I believe it starts by doing random acts of kindness. Nothing says patience better than just doing something for someone else, no matter how long it takes, showing gratitude and appreciation for what we have in life and saying thank you to someone when they do anything for us. Patience is a crucial factor in whether we have satisfying lives or not. Patience gives us self-control, the capacity to stop and be in the present moment. Patience helps us be more loving towards others, more at ease with the circumstances of our lives, and more able to get what we want. Patience rewards us with the fruits of maturity and wisdom, healthier relationships, higher quality work, and peace of mind. I like to think that patience gives us persistence, serenity, and acceptance. Patience gives us stick to it ness, the ability to work steadily toward our goals and dreams. Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for Disneyland. George Lucas put up his own money to make Star Wars because no one believed in his vision. By the time the movie came out, he was completely broke.
A canceled plane, a missed deadline by a workmate, our spouse forgetting to do an errand, are all things that we can put it into some kind of perspective that allows us to keep our cool. We’re the ones people look to for comfort and humor when things go awry. With patience, we’re more able to stay calm on the inside no matter what is happening on the outside. We trust in our capacity to deal with whatever comes our way. And that trust gives great peace of mind. With patience, we oversee ourselves. We can choose how to respond to a given event, rather than being hijacked by our emotions. Remember when we are patient when things aren’t going the way we want, we truly shine as heroes. Take a moment to reflect on a time when you employed the power of patience. How did it make you feel? Better yet, how did it make someone else feel? Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime via email mgarlin@bethshalomnb.org or my direct line at 847-498-4100 x21. Please be patient as sometimes I am away from my desk. Who knows, maybe I am taking time to clear my head with a quick walk in helping me be more patient of others.

SISTERHOOD Jackie Zelkowitz
Passover is right around the corner, and after a two-year break, we were so happy to be back in the kitchen baking for Passover Kiddushim. There is always a great amount of effort that goes into baking for Pesach. I would like to extend a big thank you to Robin Bright for coordinating the baking and to Maria Catezone for purchasing all of the items for us. Sisterhood could not have done this without the two of you. Thank you also to all of those who helped bake. I look forward to seeing all of you to enjoy these Kiddushim.
Our Torah Fund event on Sunday, March 6th featured Cantorial JTS Student, Josh Ehrlich. Josh has a magnificent voice and the selections he performed for us were beautiful. Thank you to Matty Shechtman for all of her hard work on this event and for her continued push to reach our Torah Fund goal. There is still time to donate to Torah Fund. Please reach out to Matty to contribute at sabra4evrr@aol.com. On Thursday, March 10th, Sisterhood held our craft night. Edwards Florist of Northbrook taught us how to create beautiful centerpieces for our Shabbat tables. It was so refreshing to see so many of us back in the synagogue again for an event. Those attending online picked up flowers at Edwards Florist and participated from home. Thank you to Debbie Hamilton and Stacy Gordon for putting together this terrific event. Mitzvah Day will be on Sunday, April 3rd from 9:45 -11:45 a.m. at CBS. Sisterhood will team up with the Religious School and work on Social Action projects.

DONATIONS MEN’S CLUB Andy and I are very happy to share with Congregation Beth Shalom that our Man of the Year Honoree is Richie Kurnick, z”l. We lost Richie last December after a tough battle with MSA, Multliple System Atrophy. I personally knew Richie as a young boy running around Congregation Beth Shalom with his parents Barbara and Lester Kurnick z”l, who were founding members of Beth Shalom. Richie will be missed by CBS Men’s Club as one of the good guys who was always there to help especially in the kitchen when needed. You can find his bio in the Man of the Year flyer in this bulletin on page 13. Our best wishes to Richie’s son Jeff, his mother Barbara and brother and sister-in-law Edward and Marcie on this very special honor to Richie. Steve Lessman
Dr. Andrew Wagner
We just finished the month of March and what a month it was for Congregation Beth Shalom Men’s Club. We are happy to report our Lox Box program was a major success and we sold over 1460 boxes, the most since 2008, 14 years ago. Most important, our Lox Box donations to The ARK and CJE will feed over 5000 people. As I have shared with many for years, our Men’s Club is filled with amazing men who do amazing work day in and day out. Thank you to our Lox Box Chairman Don Pike, VP Ways and Means, and of course Lawrence LeVine and Howard Freidin, who both work hours and hours to make this program the success it is. And thank you to our CBS Men’s Club Board for making the calls, and working all weekend to pack and drive. Yasher Koach to all!!!!! To complete the month we held a wonderful Men’s Club Sabbath on Saturday, March 19th. We honored Lawrence LeVine, our Kavod Award Honoree for 2022. The morning was so spiritual seeing our men lead services and doing an excellent job on all the Torah portions. The morning was very special presenting the Kavod Award to Lawrence and then celebrating with a beautiful Kiddush. Thank you Alan Wernick, VP Ritual, and Andy Wagner for assisting in putting it all together. And a special thank you to our wonderful Sisterhood under the leadership of Jackie Zelkowitz and Robyn Rosengard. The Kugels were delicious and your help with everything for the Kiddush was much appreciated. April will be a month of Passover and we will complete the month with a very special Yom HaShoah Program on Wednesday, April 27th. Thank you Mitch Padnos for taking over the Yellow Candle Program for CBS Men’s Club and making Yom HaShoah a special event at Congregation Beth Shalom. Andy and I want to wish all our congregants a happy and enjoyable Passover and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the synagogue. Steve and Andy
