RABBI FERRATIER’S FINDINGS Rabbi Ferratier
After finishing Pesach, it is tempting to look at the month of May and think that we get a nice long break from Jewish holidays, after spending what feels like weeks getting ready for Pesach and then at least another week getting everything set back to normal.
day of joy and pride, as Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel Independence Day begins. The services “bein hashmashot” were developed to help navigate the transition between days which require entirely different moods. These services make it a little easier to switch gears, acknowledging that both grief and joy are appropriate feelings, and that it can be hard to transition between them.
I think all of us would like to have a little bit more of a feeling of “bein hashmahWhile it is true that, with the possi- sot.” For two years we have lived under a ble exception of Lag B’Omer, there are no pandemic. It is difficult to switch between the fear and stress of life during the panancient Jewish holidays, May is actually demic and to abruptly switch to life without packed with modern observances, which I’ve sometimes heard called the Israeli High mask mandates and social distancing. We could use a little transitioning to help us Holidays. These are the special days which commemorate events in the history of mod- adjust. ern Judaism.

In just a few days, beginning the night of May 3rd, Israelis will stand at attention as the siren sounds for Yom Ha’Zikaron, Israeli Memorial Day. Throughout the day, Israelis will attend secular memorial services, and the names of those who have fallen, either as a result of military conflict, or because of terrorism, will be remembered. As the sun sets, Israelis will attend special services “bein hashmashot,” “between the suns,” to mark the transition between a day of solemnity and grief, to a
next grade, high school seniors graduate and transition to college, the military, or other forms of career training. Colleges award their various degrees. Weddings mark the beginning of a shared life. Each of these transitions, while joyful, are still somewhat bittersweet, as the new beginnings also signal changes in relationships and in geography. A time of new beginnings means that it is also a time of goodbyes. For me this is also a transition, signaling sad goodbyes and new beginnings. I am sad to be saying goodbye to my home state. I am sad to leave a community that has supported me through several difficult moments in my life. I am sad to say goodbye to the many wonderful students, congregants, and colleagues who have been so central to my life here at CBS.

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Bob Spector
Shalom Chaverim, Spring is upon us. Our trees and grass are green again, flowers are blooming, and the topic of COVID is hopefully not in the forefront of our thoughts (other than in terms of recognizing our COVID task force on May 22nd). But alas, we know that all is not right with the world. We have become desensitized to so much incomprehensible violence- from daily shooting deaths just miles from our suburban homes and in our schools and religious institutions to oppressive regimes in all corners of the world. But there is something about the unprovoked assault on the people and government of Ukraine that has caught the world’s sympathetic attention in ways that we have not seen in quite a while.
I do not need to belabor the point on how wrong the Russian government is in its attack of Ukraine. Instead, I will share with you a couple questions/struggles that have been aroused in me over the past few weeksone of personal identity (Who am I?) and one of entitlement (What am I complaining about?). Perhaps this will resonate for some of you. My story goes back to the late 90’s. My first introduction to volunteerism at CBS began in 1997 when I joined our Social Action committee. At the time, the Chicago Action for Soviet Jewry was pairing local synagogues with struggling former Soviet Jewish communities throughout eastern Europe. I prided myself in my Russian roots and wanted to get involved with our assigned sister community which turned out to be in Tiraspol, Moldova which coincidently (or beshert?) was the town where my father was born. However, my Spector roots really are attached to Odessa in the Black Sea region of Ukraine. I made the long journey to Tiraspol via Lviv where I spent five days before arriving in Tiraspol with almost 100 pounds of medical supplies donated by our CBS community. I have felt so proud of my Russian heritage by focusing on the culture of its people not the historically evil intentions of its government. Until recently I never felt the need to appreciate the difference between being a Russian Jew or a Ukrainian Jew. I now find myself wanting to distance myself from my Russian heritage. Am I Russian, Ukrainian (I know officially that was not an independent designation until 1992), an American Jew, or a Jewish American? It is all very confusing and recently these questions have been very unsettling. And yet, I realize that my identification with all of the above has made me who I am. I guess I am a work in progress and at 68 that’s ok. The other question I find myself dwelling on since the war began a few weeks ago is related to the phrase ‘There but for the Grace of God go I.’ The what ifs, if my grandfather chose not to leave Tiraspol, if my grandmother could not have traveled with a baby….would I have been raised under Soviet rule? Have I taken too much for granted? Do I appreciate enough of what I do have? Do I dwell too much on the No Big Deal (NBDs) problems- having the newest cell phone, paying an extra dollar for gas, paying more for entertainment….? The NBDs are endless. Oy, have I become one of the entitled I tend to resent? Throughout our lives we encounter events that cause us to question who we are, our beliefs, our values, our priorities. I believe the war on the sovereign country of Ukraine is one such event that can affect us in this way. For many of us, our family history is connected to this region of the world. For all of us, we understand how much destruction one obsessively evil person can bring to the world. This unjust war has provided me the opportunity to contemplate what really matters to me. How about you? Many of us might wonder what we can do to make a difference amid so much pain and suffering. I will remind you of one of our more sacred concepts, Tikkun Olam, repairing the world brick by brick. When we help one, it is as if we are healing all. There will be many opportunities for us to come together as a community to help our Ukrainian families in the coming months. When we put our hearts and souls into a mission, no one does it better than Congregation Beth Shalom. L'Shalom, Bob Rabbi Ferratier’s Findings (continued from page 1) I am also excited for new beginnings. I eagerly anticipate the challenges of finding my way around a new place, settling into a new community, and meeting the students, congregants, and colleagues who will make my new congregation in Herndon, Virginia into my home. When we return from a funeral, we are encouraged to eat foods which will remind us of the continuity of life. At a wedding, we break a glass to remind ourselves that in the midst of our joy, there is still brokenness. In this season of transition, may we be mindful both of the bitter and the sweet elements in our lives. May the bitterness always serve to help us appreciate the sweet, and may the sweet always overpower the bitterness. MAY 2022• VOLUME 101 ISSUE 71

CANTORS NOTES Cantor Stoehr
As we enter the month of May the academic year will come to a close. Echoes of Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” reverberates through my mind. With the end of our periods of formal education however, our learning never ceases. There are many ways in which we all grow and mature and learn right from wrong, acceptable and unacceptable ways in which we might comport ourselves in society. Most often we learn more about practical living from our surroundings than text books, friends than teachers.
The essentials of ‘reading, and writing and arithmetic’ are important building blocks. An old commercial for education used the phrase, “reading is fundamental”, and as a young tot I used to question “how much fun is it”? Rabbi Adar adds some meaningful insights in the article below. Rabbi Ruth Adar, the Coffee Shop Rabbi, wrote in #blogExodus, the brainchild of Rabbi Phyllis Sommer, (Am Shalom in Glencoe), the following: (edited)
“Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, ‘Grow! Grow!'” Lovely, no? This quotation, attributed to “The Talmud” appears in various places online. ‘I found it in’ a collection of Midrash called Bereshit Rabbah. The only trouble with it is that it was translated so sweetly that it has lost its meaning. “Ben Sira said: God caused herbs to spring forth from the earth: with them the physician heals the wound and the apothecary compounds his preparations. R. Shimon said: There is not a single herb but has a mazal [constellation] in the heavens which strikes it and says, “Grow!” – Bereshit Rabbah 10.6 (my translation). The literal translation suggests that even plants have a destiny [a horoscope, at a time when rational people put faith in such things,] Rabbi Shimon adds that living up to destiny is not always a pleasant process: this mazal* “strikes” (and yes, that’s the verb, from the same root that gives us “flogging” for punishment) the plant and says to it, “Grow!” Certainly it is more pleasant to think of angels whispering to blades of grass than it is to think of the stars whipping medicinal herbs into shape. Unpleasant or not, this Midrash has something important to teach about growth: it often hurts. Leaving Egypt was a painful process: Pharaoh increased the workload, then God started bringing the plagues, most of which affected Israelites as well as Egyptians, then the scary night of escape, then the scary passage to and through the Reed Sea. Then everything else. We call them “growing pains” for a reason: growth hurts. That is why it behooves us, out of the mitzvah of kindness to suffering creatures, to treat those who are learning with kindness. No angels are bending over them whispering. No, whatever Torah they are called to do in the world is calling to them, striking them, saying, “Grow! Darnit, grow!” Feeling the pain is not necessarily a sign that we’re on the wrong road: sometimes it is a sign that we’re actually feeling the growth. That’s why we need teachers and advisers, why it is often said that “Every Jew needs a rabbi.” We must talk with our guides, reflect with them, when we feel growing pains. They may just be a sign that we’re well on our way to that “mazal,” the destiny which is ours to fulfill. This May I hope we don’t all think of Alice Cooper but rather Pirkei Avot 4:1, and the scholar ben Zoma who says: Who is the wise one? One who learns from everyone they encounter, as it says, “I have acquired understanding from all my teachers” (Psalms 119:99).

SISTERHOOD Jackie Zelkowitz
Sisterhood had quite a busy April, and we are moving full force into May planning our successful year back in the synagogue.
On Sunday, April 3rd, Sisterhood joined CBS Social Action and Religious School for Mitzvah Day. We worked on projects with the Religious School students and collected a variety of products that Border Tails Rescue in Northbrook regularly uses. Thank you to Jodi Joffe and Teri Robins for arranging our collection and drop off. Thank you to the many Sisterhood members who came to help and a big thank you to Suzy Hakimian, Social Action VP and Robyn Rosengard, School VP for allowing Sisterhood to join in this wonderful event. It was so nice that we could all come together for a good cause. Thank you to Michael Balter for capturing this moment for all of us with his amazing pictures. On Monday, April 4th, Sisterhood took a virtual tour through the Holocaust Museum: Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement. The tour was fascinating and felt like we were right there walking through the exhibit. Thank you to Debbie Hamilton for arranging this wonderful evening online. I hope that you were able to get to the synagogue for services during the two weekends of Pesach and enjoy the wonderful kiddushim that were put together. It is nice to see that things are slowly starting to return to normal. I cannot thank Robin Bright enough for all of her time and effort in organizing and planning the different recipes for Pesach. It took a great deal of time to prepare all of this so that we could bake. It was so wonderful to come together to bake, just like we did pre-pandemic! Thank you to everyone that came out to help. It could not have been done without all of you. Please join us at our Culminating, Installation, and Valued Volunteer Dinner on Tuesday, May 17th. Our entertainment for the evening will be John Boda, The Music Man, who will feature the music of My Fair Lady. Our 2022 Valued Volunteer is Maria Catezone. Maria’s work has been above and beyond the call of duty, and she has always supported Sisterhood. We are proud to recognize, publicly thank and honor Maria for all that she has done for Sisterhood. I hope to see all of you at our Culminating Dinner.

Sunday, May 22nd will be a busy day at CBS. The Annual FUNdaiser is in the evening, but there will be ample time to attend the FJMC Man of the Year and Youth of the year event earlier in the day. It will take place at Congregation Beth Hillel Bnai Emunah in Wilmette starting at 3 pm. We will be honoring our Man of the Year Richie Kurnickz”l and our Youth of the Year, Ashley Gitles.

This month, we would like you to meet the CBS Men’s Club Financial Secretary, Jim Hamilton. This is Jim’s second time on our Exec Board where he first served as Treasurer in 2006-07. Jim was born in Chicago, and his family moved to Highland Park when he was two. He attended Highland Park High School participating in many clubs including debate, chess, and math. A little known fact is that he also wrote comedy for the variety shows in high school! His family were members of North Suburban Beth El where Jim had his Bar Mitzvah, and he was active in USY serving on the Board. He then attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville initially majoring in engineering but he then switched gears to a math and economics majors. He continued at Vanderbilt to receive his Master’s in Business. His first job took him to New York to work for Price Waterhouse. At Vanderbilt, he met his wife, Debbie, who was from Charlotte. Debbie’s first job took her to Jacksonville, and soon Jim transferred his job there. They were married in Charlotte and soon moved to Chicago to start their life together. Jim finished advanced accounting classes at Northwestern and received his CPA soon after. From Chicago they moved to Deerfield then to Northbrook, joining Congregation Beth Shalom in 1997. Jim worked for Altschuler, Melvoin, and Glasser for three years and then joined Weiss and Company. He will be celebrating 25 years in the fall as a partner. Jim and Debbie have two children, a daughter, Ashley, who lives in Brooklyn and is a comedian who also works in social media, and a son, Scott, who is a consultant in Fort Worth. Debbie is also very active with the CBS Sisterhood Executive Board. Jim and Debbie have traveled over the years taking their family to Israel and other popular vacation spots including a week long biking trip to southern Spain. Debbie and Jim play golf together, ride their Pelotons, and can be found regularly attending Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks and Bulls games during the year (even though they look forward to the tailgate more than the actual game). Jim has been involved in other organizations including the Treasurer of the BJE Metropolitan Chicago for over 20 years and has helped with the Alzheimer’s Association Chicago most recently. Jim has also served on the CBS Synagogue Board of Trustees and worked on the CBS School Board in years past. And finally Jim wants to remind all congregants if you’re in the neighborhood to stop by to share a glass of bourbon together. He has an amazing collection of over 40 bottles of different types of bourbon to choose from!!! We thank Jim for his time serving as CBS Men’s Club Financial Secretary and look IL Holocaust Museum & Education Center, April 10, 2022 forward to working with Jim for years to come. Steve and Andy

CBS HAPPENINGS Tracy Safron Suggests The School for German Brides by Aimie K. Runyan is a fascinating novel focusing on the lives of three young women living in Berlin at the beginning of World War II. Hanna Rombauer has grown up in the country and is in her final year of school. Following her beloved mother’s sudden death, Hanna’s father sends Hanna to live with her wealthy Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Otto in the city. Hanna’s life with the childless couple is luxurious but leaves no room for her independent streak. The eminent SS Captain Friedrich Schroeder is immediately enchanted by Hanna. He is quite a catch! Friedrich is twenty years Hanna’s senior and Hanna abhors him. Ignoring Hanna’s feelings, Charlotte stops at nothing to ensure an engagement. Mathilde (Tilde) Altman is a young woman of mixed blood from a wealthy family. The Nuremberg laws led to Tilde’s gentile father divorcing her Jewish mother-claiming this was only a formality. Post-divorce, Tilde’s father quickly marries another woman. Tilde and her mother are forced to move into an ancient apartment above their fabric shop. Tilde hides her Jewish identity and runs the business while her mother secretly tries to arrange emigration visas for them. Tilde also gives sewing lessons to Hanna’s friend, Klara Schmidt. While waiting to leave Berlin, Tilde falls in love with Samuel Eisenberg, altering her life forever. Friedrich insists Hanna attend an elite bridal boarding school where she will be molded into the perfect German wife. Klara also attends the six-week program. Tilde’s life is in immediate danger and Klara hides her in a home on school grounds. When Tilde needs medical care, Klara begs Hanna for assistance. Will Hanna risk her life to save Tilde’s? The School for German Brides takes a familiar subject and presents it in a unique way. This thought provoking novel provides important lessons for us all.

SOCIAL ACTION What we DO DOES Make a Difference! On Sunday, April 3rd, our Religious School, Sisterhood, HUGS, and Social Action Committee came together to participate in Good Deeds Day, an international day of doing good deeds, first started years ago in Israel (no surprise) and now in over 100 different countries! Here is a brief review of all the Good!
Religious School: Students were tasked with two jobs: do a mitzvah for themselves and one that gives back! Our older students created beautiful wood and glass mezuzahs. Students had learned the significance of the mezuzah and were very engaged in creating them! The students wrote letters to Israeli Lone Soldiers that will be brought to Israel later this spring. They created comfort bags for Sharsharet (a national non-profit organization that works to improve the lives of Jewish women and families living with or at increased genetic risk for breast or ovarian cancer through personalized support). The children beautifully decorated the bags and wrote thoughtful notes to be placed in the bags. Each bag contained a variety of donated items including stress balls, activity books, hard candies, fuzzy socks, and individual hand sanitizers. Our younger students had two tasks. They decorated tzedakah boxes to be taken home and filled with loose change. We hope they will bring these back to school as part of our tzedakah collections. They also created their very own spice jars to be used in their homes for Havdalah. One mitzvah for themselves and one for the community! HUGS While our students were doing their special mitzvot, a wonderful group of volunteers were packaging items for the Have a Matzah Ball Passover concert at CBS. Children and HUGS families received delicious and creative bags of candy representing the 10 plagues and special gifts for an at-home chocolate seder. Dickler Hall was filled with people doing amazing acts of kindness. Sisterhood: Bras! Pounds and pounds of bras were collected and donated to “I Support the Girls” (an organization that helps girls and women experiencing homelessness, victims of domestic violence, victims of sex trafficking, refugees and evacuees affected by natural disasters, stand tall and with dignity).
Bags of pet food, a variety of pet supplies including toys, blankets, pet beds, and laundry supplies were donated to Border Trails Rescue in Northbrook (an animal rescue and welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and adoption of stray dogs from Mexico and the Chicagoland area, as well as across the Southern United States). Dozens and dozens of children’s books were collected and donated to Bernie’s Book Bank (an organization that sources, processes, and distributes quality books to underserved children throughout Chicagoland).
It was an incredibly powerful day, and it took a small army of volunteers! Thank you so much to all the wonderful ladies of Sisterhood, volunteers from the Social Action and HUGS committees, members of the Board, teachers and madrichim: all those who worked with our students sorting, assembling, hot gluing, coloring, helping children fill jars, and writing beautiful cards and letters! Thank you to our volunteers who loaded boxes, brought items to organizations, and to everyone who donated items to these important causes! Thanks to our CBS staff who helped coordinate the supplies and logistics for this very important Good Deeds Day. What we DID made a Difference!

SHAVUOT THE MEANING OF THE HOLIDAY OF SHAVUOT
Shavuot, also known as the “Feast of Weeks,” was originally celebrated as a Thanksgiving for the “First Fruits.” The Torah refers to Shavuot as “Chag HaBikkurim,” the festival of the first fruits, which our ancestors observed by bringing offerings of the best produce to the Temple. During the period leading up to Shavuot, we count each day beginning on the Second Night of Pesach. This counting, “S’firat Ha’Omer,” highlighted our ancestors’ hopes that Shavuot, the end of the Omer counting, would yield a bountiful crop. Coincidently, the Omer period encompasses many of the tragedies of our people over the generations. Therefore, it is customary to prohibit weddings during a specific part of the seven weeks as a sign of national mourning. In addition to being an agricultural festival, Shavuot is also a celebration of the Jewish Peoples’ receiving the Torah at Mt. Sinai. Although the Torah does not identify Shavuot in this context, the Talmud has an undisputed tradition that the Torah was given at this time. Therefore, we stay up studying on the first night of the festival, and the Ten Commandments are read in the Synagogue on the first day. Of the major Jewish Holidays, Shavuot is sometimes overlooked. It doesn’t have quite the gravitas of the High Holidays, the fun (or hassle) of eating outside in the Sukkah, nor the nostalgia of Passover Seders. In fact, the folk tradition most strongly associated with it is eating dairy foods, (especially cheesecake). In a sense though, more than any other day on the Jewish calendar, it is the holiday of Jewish identity; it is the holiday which celebrates the Torah, the central teaching which is at the root of Jewish action and belief. It is so closely associated with identity, that it is the day on which we read the book of Ruth and celebrate those who choose to join our community as converts.
