SIVAN/TAMMUZ 5782 | JUNE/JULY 2022| VOLUME 102 ISSUE 72

RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES Last year at this time I wondered how we were able to accomplish so much after living through a year and a half of a pandemic. I don’t think any of us could have contemplated that after another year had gone by, we would still be managing our way through and around COVID-19. We have begun to learn to live life with this virus and all of its mutations. Many have tried to return to life as normal, while others remain cautious and proceed very carefully as they venture out into the world. The most important thing for me to share with you is that Congregation Beth Shalom is open and has been for the majority of the last two years. We are somewhat shocked when people are surprised that we continue to operate as normal (or as best as we can with adaptations). Our services have never stopped, our programming has continued, classes have taken place, we have learned from a wide array of speakers, and we have continued to make a difference in the world for those less fortunate. This past year we welcomed people back into the building for High Holiday services. Pesach kiddushim and Shabbat kiddushim have been greatly celebrated. We celebrated with 40 B’nai Mitzvah families, 16 aufrufs, and new people reading Torah for the very first time. Our Men’s Club delivered 1465 Lox Boxes including 798 boxes to The ARK, Rabbi Melman

CJE, and local fire and police stations. Our Sisterhood has 574 members and 31 vendors were on display at the return of the Holiday Boutique. CBS offered 17 different Adult Education classes with classes taught by 12 different instructors and well over 300 individual learners. We helped people prepare for Chanukah by distributing items to make latkes, and many other holiday preparation items. I could not be more proud of how our congregation has adapted in ways that we could never have imagined over two years ago. And we won’t stop here! If there is one thing the pandemic has taught us, it is that we need to be flexible and adaptable, two important words I learned as a camp counselor 30 years ago. Those two words have never been more important than right now. Doing our best to accommodate the needs of our congregants is, and should be, what we are all about. Understandably, we have lost a little sense of the family feeling here, as we were not able to gather together the way we would have liked, for a period of time. It’s time to recapture the feeling of the Beth Shalom Family. Godwilling, people will continue to feel comfortable joining us for all that we offer. We are not going anywhere and we will continue to be here for all of your needs. Have a safe and healthy summer.

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Bob Spector

Shalom Chaverim,

Chag Sameach as we celebrate Shavuot this month of Sivan 5782. I can’t believe that summer is almost upon us and that my first year as your President is almost completed. I will reflect more on my second half of the year in my August message. Honestly, I never thought too much about how Shavuot is a really BIG deal holiday in our history. Many consider Sivan 6/7 2448, the receiving of the Ten Commandments, as the seminal moment in our history. I try to imagine what it must have been like for Moses, the leader of our people for decades, to stand before God and be our emissary as the receiver of laws that have guided our behavior for thousands of years, and then to be told that he would not be allowed the right to return to our beloved Israel. What a privilege, but what a burden. Thinking of Moses trying to fulfill our people’s destiny inspires me, but it also saddens me. I wonder how alone he must have felt carrying the burden of the Jewish people. How much support did he receive from the people who cared about him? As I reflect upon being your lay leader, I want to be very clear that I am no Moses and my responsibilities pale in comparison. Before I started my two-year term, I was told by many Past Presidents that I may be taking on one of the most challenging leadership roles I have ever experienced and that I may not truly appreciate how special and privileged it is to be the President of Congregation Beth Shalom until I have ended my two years. I have relied a lot on the wisdom of this group and have received wonderful guidance and advice, but on this one I must disagree. Have I had to make some difficult decisions? Yes. Have I likely angered some of our membership? Yes. Have I at times felt quite burdened and a bit alone? Yes. Has it taken up more time than I anticipated? Yes. Have I occasionally felt frustrated? Yes. However, I have never experienced so much support, kindness, and concern from my CBS friends, colleagues, and fellow congregants. Many of you may (or may not) be aware that I was a member of my local School Board for twelve years, two years as Vice President and four years as President. Those leadership roles in my larger community do not compare to how special it is to be a leader at CBS. At a recent Shabbat Kiddush one of our fellow members thanked me for sitting with them. I was a bit taken aback because the privilege is mine to serve you, to mourn with you, to celebrate with you, and to break bread with you. I responded by saying you are the VIPs here, not me. You, Congregation Beth Shalom members, are what makes our community so special. I believe there is the ability to lead in all of us. This summer explore the leader in yourselves and think about how you can put that part of yourself to work to make the world a better place. If I could go back in time, I would give Moses a giant bear hug and say thank you. I would say to him, without you there would not have been us. Without you there would not have been laws to make us a better people. Without you there would not have been Shavuot. Chag Sameach! Have a wonderful summer!

L’Shalom, Bob

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S EDITORIAL Creating A Life of Legacy

Michael Garlin

My daughter was reading a book by Rabbi Daniel Cohen, and she asked me a question. Dad, It’s right there on the front cover of the book. “Dad, what will they say about you when you are gone”? I smiled and laughed a bit and thought, hmmm, I hope they will say I was a good person. I made people smile and laugh. I was a good dad, a good husband, a good brother, and a good friend. After a few days I was really thinking about it and truly was wondering how I want to be remembered? Not only personally, but by my family, my community and the world. If I had to write my own eulogy, what would it say? To answer this question, I thought what would I do if I only had 24 hours to live? I wrote both my parent’s eulogies by answering that question. What did their perfect day look like, and it just made me smile and cry at the same time. In writing about their perfect day and what that would look like, I thought this would give everyone a much better picture of who they were. Doing this for yourself is no easy task. Here is the list of questions that I believe we all need to ask to answer my daughter’s question.         

What is worth fighting for? In your life so far, what have you taken a risk for or gone out of your comfort zone for? If you had five words to write on your headstone, what are they? When you’re feeling low, what song do you play to lift your mood and inspire you? Why? Is there a phrase that you find yourself saying frequently when you’re under stress? When you are happy or grateful? Describe your best day or your best self. What is your favorite Torah verse, poem, or motto? Why are you here? What is your life mission? What do you hope to achieve? What are your dreams? How can you realize them?

I truly believe that most of us want to live an inspired and authentic life. Following is a quote that might inspire you to answer the questions above. “I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” – William Penn

MAZEL TOV TO OUR B’NAI MITZVAH

Youth Report I am extremely proud to share with you that the CBS USY Youth Group has been selected as the Chapter of the Year for the Chicago-banded region (CHUSY) which includes local chapters from the Chicagoland area as well as Madison and Milwaukee. This is the most prestigious award presented to one chapter each year that displays high integrity and overall excellence throughout the year. The CBS high schoolers have demonstrated to the committee how they enhanced their community, synagogue and members. This group of outstanding members have dedicated many hours collaborating together to plan activities each Thursday evening, to debriefing on how to consistently improve their work product and to learning more about what it means to be a successful leader and community member. The group is also dedicated to many programs around CBS such as participating as Madrichim and attending CBS High. They have engaged chapter members with active participation at chapter programs and events such as a human Mario Cart Night and Paws for Patrick Night. The group has a strong regional presence including having the highest attendance of any chapter at the most recent regional convention, having a member (Ashley Gitles) on the regional CHUSY board, and having several members who have planned regional programs and conventions. What makes this award even more incredible is that the teens have won it despite leading the majority of the year without a Youth Director. They have risen to the challenge and worked very cohesively together to learn what it means to lead through unexpected challenges together and achieve strong outcomes. The CBS USY Board 2021-2022 is made up of the following dedicated and strong leaders: President: Paige Star Executive Vice President: Benjamin Robins Membership/Kadima Vice President: Dylan Adler Israel Education Vice President: Elan Pissetzky Religion Education Vice President: Emma Preston Communications Vice President: Maddie Rosengard Freshman Representative: Skylar Adler

A Mazel Tov is also in order for four of our current board members who were elected to the Regional CHUSY Board.

SISTERHOOD Jackie Zelkowitz

As we bring our 2021-2022 calendar year to a close, I would like to thank my entire Sisterhood Board for guiding us through the pandemic and come out the other side making our return to CBS so special and heartwarming. Each and every one of you showed exactly what Sisterhood is all about. We could not do it without the hard work, dedication, leadership, love and devotion from all of you. Thank you for all your help, guidance, and patience through my first year as Sisterhood President. We all worked together, through the use of technology, and allowed our members who did not feel comfortable coming into the Synagogue to continue to be every bit a part of our Sisterhood and feel the love and affection of membership through Zoom.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Culminating/Installation/Valued Volunteer Dinner. It was wonderful to see so many people attending this special evening. We honored Maria Catezone, CBS Office Manager, as our Valued Volunteer, installed our new Sisterhood Board for 2022-2023 and were entertained by John Boda, The Music Man. Thank you to Debbie Hamilton and Stacy Gordon for putting this wonderful evening together for us. I cannot believe that I am talking about it now, but Rosh Hashanah begins the evening of Sunday, September 25th. Once again, Sisterhood is coordinating the exchange of New Year’s greetings in the Synagogue Bulletin. If you would like to join in this CBS tradition, you can find additional information in this bulletin on page 11.

I look forward to seeing you at our Opening Event in the fall to kick off our new year. Invitations will be mailed around the end of July. Rabbi Ferratier, let me take a moment to say what a pleasure it has been to work with you these past three years. You have always supported Sisterhood, provided guidance and ideas, and helped us grow. Nevertheless, we are so proud of you as you begin your journey at your wonderful new synagogue in Herndon, VA. You will always be a part of our CBS family. We will miss you. Have a wonderful summer.

DONATIONS MEN’S CLUB Steve Lessman

Dr. Andrew Wagner

A wonderful year at Congregation Beth Shalom with the CBS Men’s Club is coming to an end. We survived!!! We finally got together to enjoy life inside the walls of our synagogue with fantastic events and activities. Thanks to all of you that have attended our events and thanks to those in our Men’s Club who worked very hard to make them happen. We hope you enjoy the summer and we see you again in September for another fun and meaningful year.

Hold on!!! Before our summer break of formally organized Men’s Club activities, we have one more event: The Men’s Club Golf Outing and Installation Dinner is being held on Thursday June 16th. This is another MUST-attend event. Weather will be perfect for golf and we are promised to have a great meal served back at CBS that evening. Please sign up on our website (https://www.bethshalomnb.org/connect/mens-club/2022-calendar/) or refer to the flyers on pages 13-14 in this bulletin with more information. Continuing the bios of our Executive Board it is our pleasure to introduce you to our Men’s Club Treasurer, Howard Freidin. Howard has been involved in Men’s Club financial activities for many years and has rotated between Treasurer and Financial Secretary. Howard was born in Chicago, and when his family moved to Morton Grove, they became members of Northwest Suburban. After a move to Northbrook, they continued to be members of Northwest Suburban and that is where Howard had his Bar Mitzvah. He attended Glenbrook North where he ran track and cross country, and he was also active in band as a clarinetist (hopefully not all at the same time). His parents joined Congregation Beth Shalom, and Howard has fond memories of attending Men’s Club opening night dinners with his dad. Howard’s parents, Sherwinz”l and Ila Freidin were very active members of Congregation Beth Shalom for many years. Howard matriculated to the University of Illinois and majored in Actuarial Science. His first job after school took him to Vernon Hills, and, a few jobs later, he began working for Deloitte. After 40 years there, Howard retired in 2018. He met his wife Debbie Stern in classes at University of Illinois, and they reacquainted with each other years later. They got married and moved to Northbrook and joined Ezra Habonim. They later joined Congregation Beth Shalom. Debbie and Howard have three boys, Michael, Brian, and David. Brian and his wife Hannah live in Auburn, Alabama, David lives in Santa Clara, California, and Michael lives in Northbrook. Howard became involved in Men’s Club early on and has been an active member of both the synagogue and Men’s Club for many years. In his early years in Men’s Club he got involved in the Lox Box Program. He created the routing system for all our lox box deliveries that we use to this day. He now oversees all the financials related to lox box and records each and every order. This year we sold over 1,400 lox boxes and Howard can tell you about each order! From Men’s Club, Howard got involved in ritual at Beth Shalom and became Ritual VP. You can find Howard at most services all week long and he leads many times during the week. As part of his love of the ritual side of Beth Shalom, Howard is part of a program called Daf Yomi. He Studies a page of Talmud every day, reading each of the 63 tractates of the Talmud, and the program lasts 7-1/2 Years. He began in January, 2020. Howard finds time for other volunteer work including serving at the Northbrook Library and serving on the Pension Committee of Actuarial Standards Boards. As a numbers guy, Howard is currently on the financial committee for the synagogue along with his Men’s Club responsibilities. We thank Howard for his many years of service to Congregation Beth Shalom and wish him and his family well. See you at the Golf Outing and Installation Dinner!……Enjoy the Summer!... See you all very soon! Steve and Andy 12
