Congregation Beth Shalom December, 2022/January, 2023 Bulletin

In 2004, when then Harvard student, Mark Zuckerberg, founded Facebook (now Meta), he and his fellow developers sought to establish a “face book”, just as its name implies. As existed on many college campuses of the time, facebook directories were distributed or made available to students so they would know the names of faces of their fellow university students. The directories made getting to know one’s fellow students easier and allowed for one to remember names and faces with even greater ease.

In 2022, it is Congregation Beth Shalom that wants your faces. I would love nothing more than to add to our own directory, ShulCloud, the faces of all our congregants. Think about it for a moment, you can’t remember someone’s name but would know their face if you saw it. Or you recently met someone and want to connect but only know them by their face. And it would be of great help to the staff and lay leadership of the congregation when putting names and faces together. While masks made that extremely difficult during the pandemic, I love seeing people’s faces once again.

Our database (ShulCloud) allows for pictures to be uploaded into the system and so this month, we have a simple request of you. Please take an individual picture of yourself (best to have someone do it for you but a selfie will work), and any additional members of your household. To be clear, a group picture won’t be able to be used, we need individual pictures.

This is a project we have wanted to work on for several years, and like many things, the pandemic put a hold on it. So now is

the time. Help us create a better database for our CBS membership by uploading or sending us pictures.

You can either upload your picture(s) yourself by following the easy instructions found below or you can email picture(s) to Photos@BethShalomNB.org so that we can upload them for you.

Our CBS family is made up not only of names but of faces. Our faces, along with our names, have stories to tell, and we want all our faces to be able to tell incredible stories from our lives. Who better than our membership to appreciate and value these stories. We promise, these pictures are only going to be used for our membership profiles.

Facebook was designed to allow people to connect with one another. It has been an avenue for people to touch base with each other and has changed people’s lives for better in many ways I can personally attest to that.

Who doesn’t love seeing pictures of one’s family? I know I do and we look forward to seeing yours.

Rabbi Melman

FROMTHE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT

Shalom Chaverim,

Is it already December? I cannot believe how quickly the fall season has flown by. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones, and that you had many thankful blessings to reflect upon. As many of you are aware, I played a significant role in furthering our Keruv Initiative (interfaith marriage welcoming) at CBS and authored a Keruv Korner column for 10 years. December was always an interesting month for writing my article because it often focused on the multi cultural challenges faced by many families in our community associated with the celebration of different holidays. However, before expanding on this further I have one final thought to share with you related to my Tiraspol experience.

After having shared the rest of my story (in my November Bulletin message) during our days of reflection between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, I thought more about that hour of my life that could have had a much worse outcome. I thought I was being heroic. After all, both Tiraspol and Congregation Beth Shalom were counting on me to create a greater connection between our two communities. Now, I am not so sure I did the right thing by engaging in a conflict with the military police even though I suffered no consequences at the time. I cannot say this was true for Ana and Karolina (my hosts). They had a much different cultural context than I had which likely had a strong impact on how they experienced this situation. They were terrified at what was happening in their military police facility where we were detained, and I was being driven by my ego because I was feeling indignant. It was not intentional on my part to upset them, but even unintentional actions can lead to unanticipated negative consequences. I hope for them it became a forgotten moment, but 24 years later it is clearly not the case for me.

How does my reflective experience connect with our Keruv Initiative? I believe we as a community have significantly broadened our understanding of inclusion. Over the past 20 years, we have become a much more diverse community demographically, economically, religiously, and in how we define a family at Congregation Beth Shalom. More of us today have family members who may be struggling financially, who are not Jewish, who define religious practice differently, and who define their sexual orientation and gender in ways that are new and even confusing to many of us. We have single parent families, families that have same sex parents, and families without children. Our members range in age from 0 to 100. I have no doubt that we all will at times continue to fall short as I did in Tiraspol in being sensitive to the varying life circumstances and needs of our community, and I hope you all join me in aspiring to do our best (which hopefully means doing better) to have our congregation be all inclusive in our unified goal to meet those needs, as stated in our mission statement:

We seek to enrich the lives of our congregation through ever-evolving ideals of observance, life-long learning, and acts of kindness from this generation to the next.

We are committed to meeting the spiritual, educational, and social needs of our members through the practice of Conservative Judaism in an all-inclusive manner.

We seek to encourage involvement and create a sense of belonging by serving our community, the Jewish people, and the State of Israel.

We have several holidays occurring in December that may be celebrated by our members (or their extended families): Kwanzaa, Christmas, and of course Chanukah. May we all share our traditions and have joyous celebrations as a community.

L’Shalom, Bob

This January marks the 50th yahrzeit of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and the 55th for Rev Martin Luther King Jr. (parenthetically, both were born in January).

I took the time to create a drama, The Lost Supper, about these prophetic gentlemen a couple of years ago and have been delighted to take it to a few other cities to present it. I was then honored to have a man I met in Louisville turn my one hour drama into a 25 minute short film. If you’d like to access it you may try this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u1r88f9z9v3yu9g/TLS_Comp_Final_v03.mp4?dl=0

Why do these two people yet remain so vibrantly familiar and important to us 50 plus years later?

Dr. John Ruskay, executive vice president emeritus of UJA Federation of New York, wrote in USCJ’s “Journeys” publication, about their continuing legacy. He writes, “People often forget, or don’t know, how unusual a friendship this was at the time. Dr. King was a Baptist minister from the segregated South of Atlanta, Georgia, who trained at Boston University. Heschel was born into a Hasidic rabbi’s family in Poland and trained as a scholar in Germany before immigrating to the United States in 1940. Still, they forged a genuine friendship based on their spiritual grounding and understanding that religion is the base on which to build a movement to end injustice and cruelty”.

He goes on to quote Heschel’s daughter, Susannah, who “recalls her father’s conviction of ‘racism is Satanism’ that launched him into the American civil rights movement”. She also wrote about her father’s relationship with Dr. King, and she said, “What brought them together was a piety that transcended differences, forged by their love of the Bible, especially the prophets. Their friendship was stoked by mutual concerns and tremendous public courage.” She recalls her father speaking passionately against racism, and engaging African American theologians and social thinkers in dialogue and listening to their experiences…. Meanwhile, Dr. King, through his friendship with Heschel, spoke out passionately on behalf of Soviet Jews, in support of the State of Israel and against the war in Vietnam.

Both Heschel and King, Susannah concludes, held firm the value of the writings of the Biblical Prophets. She ends, “…the lesson of the prophets: that God cares deeply about human beings and is pained by human acts of injustice and cruelty.”

I hope the memories of theses luminaries will continue to burn bright. I hope you will take advantage of the many interfaith programs, diversity events, Bible study with my Christian colleagues, and more that we offer at Beth Shalom. The more we learn together and about one another, the more chance we have of minimizing misunderstandings and biases based on ignorance. 36 times in the Torah it mandates that we welcome the stranger and “love thy neighbor as thyself”. Let’s engage in life with “radical amazement” of the world and people around us, and if we take what we see into the warmth of our hearts, than surely “we can overcome” the frost of “injustice and cruelty”. May this resolution be one which we honor not only in January but throughout the year and beyond.

Shalom CBS!

I have been here about two months and I am loving each day more and more. Whether it is seeing all the families with young children participating in our amazing programs, to working with our CBS USY teens, each moment here has proven to be a meaningful experience to anyone who enters our building. And it's not just inside CBS; seeing so many happy faces during the Sukkah Hop on a sunny October afternoon showed how wonderful our community truly is.

While I am fortunate to work with several populations here at CBS, one that I meet with on a weekly basis is our CBS USY group. These dedicated teens, along with our advisor Melissa Kaplan, meet each Thursday evening in the Gloss Youth Lounge for programs that they plan. We had a name that tune night, pizza in the sukkah, and a pool party at the JCC to name a few of the fun ideas the teens came up with. I am excited to be on staff in a few weeks as many of our teens and tweens will be at Camp Chi for a weekend 'fest' with CHUSY, celebrating Shabbat, learning about leadership, and taking on tikkun olam with other Chicago area Jewish 5th-12th graders.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me, my wife Danielle, and our sons Judah and Ezra, to the congregation and religious school.

B'shalom,

November was one of our busiest months in recent memory. We had a very successful evening with the Sisterhood, bowling in Buffalo Grove.

We then had a great Sunday morning breakfast with guest speaker, Laurence Holmes from the SCORE. Our highlight was the annual Erev Thanksgiving dinner with families enjoying the Jesse White Tumblers. We want to thank our Men’s Club Exec and Board for their support in making all of this happen.

Here are our upcoming events. Please preregister on the Square site page (https://bit.ly/cbsmensclub):

Sunday, December 11th: Israel in Depth. The topic will be Secular Israelis Find New Ways to be Jewish.

 Sunday, January 15th: Israel in Depth. The topic will be It’s More than the Egalitarian Kotel.

 Sunday, January 22nd: Men’s Club Breakfast. The ADL will be speaking about current state of anti Semitism in the United States and the role technology plays in spreading hate.

We end 2022 introducing another CBS Men’s Club Board Member, Frank Star. Frank was born in Columbus, GA, near Atlanta. His great great grandfather settled there from Germany in the 1880s. Frank’s family were active members of Temple Israel, a reform synagogue in Columbus. His father, Frank, was Temple President for multiple terms, and his mom, Barbara, was Sisterhood President, also for multiple terms. Frank had his Bar Mitzvah at Temple Israel and attended high school at Brookstone School. He played soccer, was active in student government, and graduated first in his class. Frank then attended Duke University majoring in History. A loyal fan, Frank still follows his Duke Blue Devils in all sports. At Duke, Frank was a member of the BOG Fraternity (a Bunch of Guys!), and he studied abroad for one semester at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

After graduation, Frank went to work for First American Bank, initially in DC and then in Atlanta. After a few years, Frank received his MBA from the University of Chicago. He then went to work for Ernst and Young as a consultant in banking and financial services. During his time at Ernst and Young, Frank became active in the Jewish United Fund Young Leadership Division (JUF YLD). Working on a JUF YLD Passover Committee, he met Mindy Weberman. Soon after they met, Frank’s job took him overseas to Singapore and Amsterdam, so their relationship initially was long distance (he returned home about once a month). About a year after he returned to Chicago, they got engaged and subsequently married.

In their early years of married life, Frank and Mindy lived in the city and were members of Anshe Emet synagogue. Frank left Ernst and Young, and for the last 18 years has worked in finance for United Airlines. Currently he manages the finance team supporting United’s cargo division. They moved to Northbrook and joined Congregation Beth Shalom in 2005. Mindy is very active as a wish granter and special event coordinator for Paws for Patrick, an organization that works to provide emotional support animals and therapy dogs to young people aiding them as they live with mental illness.

Frank and Mindy have two daughters. Ashley is a sophomore at the University of Maryland, and Paige is a senior at Glenbrook North. Both girls had their Bat Mitzvah at CBS, and both have been officers for the CBS USY and the CHUSY Regional Board. Their daughters were dedicated dancers from age three through high school, and Paige plays lacrosse for Glenbrook North.

Working for United made family travel easy. One special trip was to Germany to take part in a very special celebration. Mindy’s family are Holocaust survivors, and, during World War II, her grandfather and his brother hid in a barn to escape the German Army during the death marches. The woman who owned the barn secretly took care of them until it was safe to leave. For this heroic act, her descendants were awarded the Righteous Among the Nations award from Yad Vashem, and Frank and Mindy attended the award ceremony in Germany as well as visited the barn where her grandfather hid. A special trip indeed!!

Mindy is a member of the Beth Shalom Sisterhood, and Frank has been on the Men’s Club Executive Board for the last 5 years, including 2 years as Treasurer. We thank Frank and Mindy for their dedication to Congregation Beth Shalom and look forward to their continuing for years to come.

Enjoy Chanukah and Happy New Year 2023!

Tracy Safron Suggests

Lynda Cohen Loigman’s latest novel, The Matchmaker's Gift, is a delight to read because it has an entertaining plot and fascinating characters. The story is told in the alternating viewpoints of Sara Glikman and her granddaughter Abby. Sara made her first match in 1910 when she was ten years old. She introduced her older sister to her future husband on their ship en route to America. Sara saw a filament of light between the couple which she later learned could be the light of soulmates reaching for each other. Sara covertly continues to make successful matches but the professional male matchmakers she is competing with threaten Sara. They won’t allow her to take money for her services and Sara’s family desperately needs financial support. In 1921, the beth din rules in her favor. The men must allow Sara formal entry into the profession. Sara makes hundreds of successful matches during her lifetime.

Abby’s parents divorced when she was a child and Sara was instrumental to Abby’s upbringing. In 1994, Sara passes away and leaves Abby her journals. Sara hoped that Abby might make a few love matches of her own, but Abby is single and working as a divorce attorney. As Abby reads the journals she wonders about her chosen profession, and senses she has a special intuition of her own. For example, an extremely wealthy woman who is divorcing her husband for no apparent reason is very distraught about the breakup. Abby wants to learn the truth behind this woman’s request while Abby’s boss’s only concern is doing what the client wants. Could matchmaking be in Abby’s future? Loigman has a special ability for writing heartwarming stories about fascinating families. The Matchmaker's Gift is a wonderful present for us all.
