RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES Dear Congregation Beth Shalom Family, I hope this finds you well during this summer of establishing new routines and new norms in our lives. While the world around us has been increasingly unstable, Congregation Beth Shalom remains your community, a place to find comfort, perspective, connection and inspiration. We have heard from many of you that your connections have grown deeper than ever, despite the fact that we have made so many adjustments to how we can gather. The resilience of our community has been incredible to witness, and we have faith that we will continue to find ways to sustain our souls together, through the duration of this time in which the world calls on us to put health and safety at the forefront of our decision-making in new ways. Our staff and lay leadership team has been hard at work finding innovative and creative ways to create connections and meaning, preparing for different scenarios throughout the summer and into the fall and beyond, if necessary. We are right there with you, yearning to be able to gather together again in person, yet we know we must continue to take precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in order to honor the central Jewish value of pikuach nefesh, preserving life. We know and understand this is a very difficult decision for many, and, perhaps impossible to imagine not sitting in our sacred spaces together. Yet the only way we can show our care and concern for all is to elevate our health and safety above all other decisions. Among the plans for the fall that we have discussed has been our High Holidays Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and the 10 Days of Awe that occur between them. Our current world has pushed us to think differently than ever about how we do everything, including how we celebrate our most holy occasions. After working through many different scenarios, we have decided that the only way for us to safely honor these High Holidays together will be to do so virtually this year. We are announcing this decision now, to allow you to grieve the loss of how we have always done the High Holidays. It may be minor in the grand scheme of things, but if we do not allow ourselves to grieve even these small losses, we risk never being able to move beyond them and get excited for what might be possible. (continued on page 2)
RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES (continued from front page Rabbi Melman’s Minutes) While the experience will look different from past years, our recent months have shown us that different can also bring incredible blessings to us. Over the next few weeks leading up to the High Holidays, information will be forthcoming on our online schedule of services, educational opportunities and youth programming. In streaming our services, from our very own congregational bimah, each one of you can have a front-row seat this year in the most comfortable setting, as we continue to bring forth the music and the messages of this season. (For those who like to sit in the back, you can still set up your screen further away from you, as well). While we are saddened we are unable to be together in-person, we are so grateful to be a part of such an incredible community and have you as part of the Congregation Beth Shalom family. At the same time, we are excited for the opportunities this moment brings. For one year, we invite you to take a detour from our regularly scheduled High Holiday experiences and experiment with us as we focus on new opportunities for ushering in the New Year together. Then, we pray we will return in following years to our in-person gatherings, hopefully bringing along some of what we discover from this year’s celebrations. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, Cantor Stoehr, Rabbi Ferratier, CBS President, Tanya Solomon, or CBS Ritual Vice President, Seth Schrank directly. As always, we deeply appreciate your support and understanding as we navigate these unchartered waters and look forward to a time when we can all be back together and gather in person at Congregation Beth Shalom! (An early) Shanah Tova, Rabbi Aaron Melman

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Tanya Solomon
Those of you who know me well know that I have catchphrases I like to say to myself as mantras. These phrases have significant power over me; sometimes they serve to calm me down, sometimes to drive me to action and sometimes they remind me to stay true to my personality. My four favorites are: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Rules are a joy to follow unless they are pointless rules. Consistency is critical. Do not confuse activity with achievement. Plan the work, then work the plan.
Since March, I have added a new one - change is a constant. This newest mantra sometimes conflicts with my first one, and this can cause me internal confusion. When that happens, I slow down, make lists to explore steps and models and examine consequences to create a plan for the next change. I try to determine the impact of change on myself and others by checking in with others and running the new plan past those who can help make it better. I can then continue to follow my other mantras, taking the change into account but balancing it with what is already in place. As I go through this process, it helps me realize that change does not have to be bad; it can just be different. More important, I am learning that change can be good. As lay leaders and staff, we can embrace these changes we are all experiencing during this pandemic and use them as an opportunity. They can provide us with the opportunity to examine new ways of thinking about how we engage with our community. They can give us the freedom to expand our horizons. We can consider what can we accomplish if we build our programs from scratch. What is our purpose? How can we continue to live our mission together while apart in a meaningful way? How can we continue to lead proactively, rather than simply reacting to change? How can we anticipate change and draw strength from it? I am so proud of what we have accomplished since March. We have become interactive and innovative. Our guest speakers, clergy, and teachers of our many classes and programs for all ages have not only increased participation but welcomed members in an inclusive way we have not seen before. No longer does distance or lack of transportation prevent members from participating and being part of our community. The same goes for religious school, minyans, and services. Members have used new opportunities to reach out to each other, calling to check in and visit where possible, running errands and helping each other wherever needed. We are continually reminded of the value of being connected to our Jewish community and finding new and creative ways to live our mission. As lay leaders and staff, we have given ourselves space and time to be creative and effective. This has increased responsiveness to our communities’ needs, and you have responded with overwhelming enthusiasm and support. By being our partners in change, we can all work together to do what is best for CBS. So, join me in embracing my newest mantra - change is a constant. Let us strive to make sure that as change occurs, we make it change for good. Tanya

CANTOR’S NOTES Cantor Stoehr
Chicago Sun Times 1963 Mauldin
There was always an anticipatory weightiness to my life and thus well before I was 20 years old I wrote my will. Life didn’t seem to me to be something that was friendly. I imagine the influence that caused my mind to turn towards such deep consternation was the Holocaust. My father told stories to me about loss and travail, hiding and seeking to find family. I know he didn’t do it to scare me, rather to inform me that ugly is very much a part of the chemistry of the world. If I learned the lessons then, maybe I could help my family, and others, to avoid being so deeply hurt. I was also growing up with “Uncle” Walt (Cronkite) sharing bedtime stories with me about Vietnam, the assassination of JFK, MLK and others. The Bible, Old and New, teaches us a simple and essential lesson: Do Not Do unto Others What You Would Not Want Done unto You. I did not, even as a young boy, believe that the lesson was being heeded to by society. As a kid I was verbally bullied at times, as are many. As a younger sibling I was, (loved but) treated as such. I saw my mom struggle daily to do what others could do easily. My dad worked four jobs. I saw and imagined this world was not going to be any better to me next week as it was that very day. Today we are living in a time of ugly. I say this though I applaud the overt acts of goodness one can see as well. Being accosted by natural causes is one battle but the human “pox”, which causes not surface irritants to one’s body but a spiritual rash of great discomfort, is much harder to combat. We are currently in the month of Av which commemorates one of the saddest periods of Jewish history when hatred was rampant. It is the time when the Holy Temples were destroyed because of, say the scholars, Sinat Chinam, causeless hatred. The two temples being destroyed some 650 years apart implies to me that the hatred which caused the first destruction never really disappeared. It lay latent in the smoldering embers of their broken world. Every so often some horrid people or events cause the ashes to stir and a spark reignites the fire. The lyrics “we didn’t start the fire” may be true, but are we doing our share to put it out? As a child, I didn’t think I, or anyone possibly, had what it took to put out the fire and I feared that hatred was going to be the raison d'être. As I grew, I found the love which we shared in our home, friends who were loyal and the community, who celebrated the simplicities of life together each week at shul, made life tolerable and enough for me. All of that and the affection of my dogs, of course. I didn’t need to find the cure for hurt and I could still navigate my way through the maze of my soul being bumped and bruised. How can we comfort the young generation of children who watch television, listen to newscasts and read a paper (even an electronic one)? These recent days have been spiritually exhausting. How do we assure the future to be filled with kinder days, civil tongue and acts of Good Samaritan and not just those who yearn for survival of the fittest? We must lift up the downtrodden. After Av comes Elul, a month of deep introspection, and then Tishrei which ushers in the High Holidays. If you need time to think of what you can do, here it comes. There is plenty of time during these Hebrew months. But for the children who are taking out their “pencil and paper” to write their wills, time is of the essence. Abe Lincoln is no doubt bent over in astonishment and futility. Rabbi Heschel and Reverend King sit alongside him and shed tears. Our troubles are not only racial and inequality, but if we start there then maybe God can cause the winds of justice to blow throughout the land. 4

YOUTH/YOUNG FAMILY PROGRAMMING Eric Golberg
How can it already be August? This summer, though full of new and unexpected twists and turns, has been one for us to be proud of, leaving us excited for what is to come. Over the last two months our Youth Department has found new ways to engage our CBS Youth throughout our continued social distancing. With the creation of CampCBS, we have provided daily offline programming to all of our CBS families and their extended families. With more than 200 downloads of our offline programs, our ability to reach our members in the comfort of their home on their own time has been incredibly successful!
As our school year gets closer and closer to beginning, this also brings the start of our Youth year! On August 23rd we plan on having our All Youth Kick Off Program. Be on the lookout for more details in the coming weeks regarding the program. With the support of the Clergy, Board of Trustees and rest of the staff, we are closely monitoring best practices and safety measures for all of our programs and will provide up-to-date information as we get closer to August 23rd. Whether in person or online, I am so excited to get the 2020-2021 school year started and continue to provide award winning programming for all of our youth! Eric

CBS Religious School Plan for 2020-2021/5781 An important goal of the CBS Religious School is to partner with families to provide a positive, Jewish education and experience. Please understand that these plans are subject to change based on the guidance we receive from the State of Illinois, the Health Department and the CDC. We anticipate that we will be moving in and out of phases during the school year and are prepared to do so without interruption to student learning. At this time, we do not know which phase of the plan we will begin our CBS Religious School with but will be making this decision in conjunction with the CBS Religious School Committee, the CBS Executive Board and Staff, the Northbrook School Districts and of course with the safety and welfare of our students and staff first and foremost. First Day of Classes Our first day of class is Sunday, August 30th for kindergarten through 7th grades and Tuesday, September 1st for 8th through 12 grades no matter what phase of the plan we are in! On Sunday, August 30th, we will begin with a Drive-Thru Meet the Teacher! While in their vehicles and practicing physical distancing, students and families will have the opportunity to chat with their teachers, pick-up their supplies and have a treat (individually wrapped). More specific information will be coming the week of August 23rd. Please see the table for a synopsis of the Religious School Phase Plan on the following page. *Notes – In place of in–person class on Tuesdays, 3rd through 5th grades will have T’filah via Zoom at 4:30 p.m. and Hebrew will be set up via Zoom for individual and small group learning. We are concerned that due to uncertainty of elementary school schedules (schools are looking to reduce student capacity by ½ to 1/3, by half days, every other day attendance, 2 days in class and 2 days off, etc.) and the potential of no school buses and discouragement of carpools that getting students to class on Tuesdays will be a burden on families. In Phase 4, singing together is still considered risky and it is safer to have T’filah via Zoom. Please contact Stacy Ybarra with any questions or concerns at sybarra@bethshalomnb.org or 847-498-5352.

SISTERHOOD Robyn Rosengard
Ah, summertime, that special crazy time of year when we are all supposed to relax and chill. Not sure about you but the last few months have felt anything but chill. At this time of the year we are usually talking about the NORMAL summer prep that we lay leaders should be doing. Well, this year is anything but NORMAL. But as some things change, they also stay the same. We are carrying on with the NORMAL planning activities, but they seem just a little different. We have not been in the synagogue in a while and I for one miss it. I know that we will be back soon but we all just must take a big dose of patience potion. Insert your preferred elixir here.
As we have all become familiar with the unfamiliar, we are moving forward with plans for an incredibly special year. As I begin my second and final year as president of the CBS Sisterhood, working along with the Sisterhood Executive Committee , I am planning for as robust a programming year as possible. Some events will be virtual, some we hope will be in person. There will be contingency plans for all our programs. It is my goal to make this year as NORMAL as we can. Speaking of NORMAL, does anyone know what that really means? Well I promise we are going rewrite the definition for sure. I think I’ll give it a try right now. NORMAL - defined as a regular, usual, and customary state of flexibility. That comes straight from the Rosengard Dictionary. Join me in this new state of Flexibility, our NEW NORMAL. I know that we will thrive and grow through this time as we always have. Please stay tuned for the NORMAL announcements about our opening activities and upcoming programs. Nothing is set in stone yet, but the plans are in the works. For all you parents and grandparents who are preparing to send your children off to college for the first time, take a big deep breath, it will be fine. NORMALLY yours, Robyn

Welcome to the Men’s Club 2020-2021 year! While we truly find ourselves in a different time and place than this time last year on so many levels, the CBS Men's Club will continue to be present to support all that CBS does spiritually, educationally and socially albeit via ZOOM at least for the near future.
We are fortunate to start the year in a position of strength as we add new leadership to both the Executive Committee and the Board.

We welcome Dr. Andrew Wagner’s continued service on the Executive Committee as he completed his two-year term as Vice President of Ritual Programs and moves up to serve as Executive Vice President. Special thanks to Dr. Robert Spector for his help, support, and good counsel as Executive Vice President during my first year as President, as he returns to the CBS Board as Social Action Vice President. We also welcome Allen Lefkovitz moving up from the Board to the Executive Committee to become the Vice President of Social Programs. Coming back to the Executive Committee is Past President (1995-1997) Steven Lessman, assuming the position of Vice President of Ritual Programs. We look forward to his time-tested leadership and knowledge. The following men are joining the Board as new Directors: Scott Ginsburg David Lasky Elliot Offenbach Ron Rabinowitz

SOCIAL ACTION Social Action I feel privileged to take over the leadership role as Social Action Vice President and look forward to working with such an outstanding and passionate group of selfless committee members. In spite of the challenges we continue to face as a community and country, this summer committee members have continued to offer support to the Northfield Township Food Pantry, The ARK, the PADS shelter, and many more needy organizations. We have also been providing supplemental food bags for students in a Northbrook school this summer. We are hoping to add students from an additional school in Northbrook starting in September. Contact Leatte Gelfeld, leatteg@gmail.com, for more Information. Sara- thank you for your excellent leadership to both the Social Action Committee and the Beth Shalom community.
