ELUL/TISHREI 5781/5782| SEPTEMBER 2021| VOLUME 94 ISSUE 64
RABBI MELMAN’S MINUTES We learn about the shmita, or sabbatical year, from the Book of Vayikra, Leviticus, where we read about the promises of bountiful harvests to those who observe this practice. “God spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai, telling him to speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you come to the land that I am giving you, the land must be given a rest period, a Sabbath to God. For six years you may plant your fields, prune your vineyards, and harvest your crops, but the seventh year is a sabbath of sabbaths for the land. It is God's sabbath during which you may not plant your fields, nor prune your vineyards. Do not harvest crops that grow on their own and do not gather the grapes on your unpruned vines, since it is a year of rest for the land. What grows while the land is resting may be eaten by you, by your male and female slaves, and by the employees and resident hands who live with you. All the crops shall be eaten by the domestic and wild animals that are in your land.” Every seven years the land was to lie fallow in the Land of Israel – a practice that is followed to this day and will take place with the upcoming year of 5782. Rabbi Melman
During shmita, which literally means release, the land is left alone and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning, and harvesting is forbidden by halacha, Jewish law. Other cultivation techniques such as watering, fertilizing, weeding, spraying, trimming, and mowing may be performed as a preventive measure only, not to improve the growth of trees or other plants. Additionally, any fruits or herbs which grow of their own accord and where
no watch is kept over them are deemed hefker, ownerless, and may be picked by anyone. The concept of a Sabbatical period is not unique to the Land of Israel, but it is unique. I can’t think of too many professions outside of university professors and clergy who are fortunate enough to be able to arrange for sabbatical time. Just as the land is meant to recharge, so too is the time away for a clergy person. In April, I shared with you my new venture into the world of the military through the Illinois Army National Guard. What a blessing it has been for the last several months and what an honor it has been to put on the uniform of the United States Army. I have completed my first of three months of CHBOLC (Chaplain Basic Officer Leader Course) and will return to the Army’s Chaplain Schoolhouse at Fort Jackson in Columbia, SC in mid-October. I will be in residence there for two months, using my sabbatical time. While one might not think it will be relaxing and rejuvenating – the first would be true, the second not. While waking up at 0400 (4:00 am) may not sound rejuvenating, the skills I have acquired and will continue to acquire as an Army Chaplain will make me a better rabbi. The additional tools gained will help me to serve all of you better. The reality is, I am somewhere near the middle of my career as a rabbi. Just as the land needs time to refresh and renew itself, so do many of us. The opportunity to grow myself, my abilities, and my resources will only ensure greater support and fulfillment for our entire CBS family. I look forward to sharing more of my adventures with you in the future. Shanah Tovah.

FROM THE CONGREGATION PRESIDENT Shalom Chaverim,
Bob Spector
I cannot believe how quickly the summer is flying by and that our High Holidays are only days away. I hope you have had many opportunities to have in-person gatherings with family and friends throughout the last few months. As you know, we will be offering in-person attendance for all our services throughout the Holiday season and that these services will not be the same as what we have traditionally been accustomed to at Beth Shalom. I understand that there is disappointment that we will not be offering a complete traditional service option this year. Our clergy have worked extremely hard to create a spiritually enriching experience for all of us that balances the essence and integrity of our prayers with the health and welfare of our community. To maximize our safety as well as the number of congregants who can safely attend, we decided to offer two shifts which then required that our services be shortened. I understand that the science is not exact, but unfortunately this new COVID-19 variant is proving that even the vaccinated are at greater risk of contracting the virus. As of the time I am writing this column (August 1st), I expect that with proper precautions we will be able to gather in-person as a community, and I hope and expect that next year we will be able to pray together as an entire community without fear of our health being compromised. Last month, I mentioned my vision of a strong and thriving community that shares values that can be characterized as Tolerant, Open, Patient, Understanding, Accepting, Compassionate, and Healthy. The first letters of each of these values approximates the word TOPUACH (ta-pu-ach), the Hebrew word for apple (perhaps the power of the unconscious?). The apple is one of our most popular and symbolic foods of Rosh Hashanah, representing the hope of having a sweet and healthy new year. I have what I hope is a small ask of you. Throughout the holiday season, during your meals and attending services at either Beth Shalom or online with your loved ones, remember the sweetness and power of the topuach. That even in the midst of a continuing pandemic, we focus on what we do have in our lives rather than what we do not have; that we embrace the joy of being together as a spiritual community rather than the disappointment of having our service being different; and that we celebrate our good fortune in being part of a wonderful Congregation Beth Shalom family. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we hope you have a happy, healthy, and sweet New Year. L’shana tovah u’metukah, Bob

DEAR SUSAN Dear Susan: We are really happy that CBS is open again for Shabbat morning services. I appreciate the live stream services for the past 18 months but being at CBS is so much more meaningful for me and my husband. We truly miss the Kiddush lunch after services and I’m hoping you can tell me when the Kiddush will return. We’re quite fond of CBS tuna and kugel and noshing with our friends! Susan Karlinsky
Signed: Happy and Hungry Dear Happy and Hungry: Soon! We’re being extra cautious at CBS about bringing back our traditional Shabbat Kiddush lunch. We need to be sure we can provide a safe way to feed a large group of people, and to best protect everyone from the contagious COVID-19 virus. We are considering our options now, and we hope to offer Kiddush lunches beginning again in 2022 on Shabbat mornings when we are celebrating a Bar/Bat mitzvah. If you are celebrating a special birthday, anniversary, aufruf, baby naming, or any other simcha, we welcome you to sponsor a Kiddush at CBS! Please call Brenda at 847.498.4100 x30 for more information! Dear Susan: I love the Marian Renee Saltzberg Learning Center at Congregation Beth Shalom! The library has such a great collection of fiction and non-fiction books that are of interest to me. I have a large collection of Jewish books. Can I donate these books to the CBS library? Also, I am curious how you identify which new books to add to your collection? Signed: Book Collector Dear Book Collector: I love our library too! It is truly a special place at CBS, and we’re so proud of receiving accreditation through the Association of Jewish Libraries. I’ll address your donation question first, since this is a very common question we get all year long. We have four criteria for donations: Donations must meet the same standards as purchased materials.
4
Donations must have been published in the last TWO years. Donations must be in excellent physical condition. Donations must have either contemporary significance or permanent value and be consistent with our existing library collection (Jewish content and/or Jewish authors).
We cannot accept donations unless they meet all four criteria. With financial support from the congregation and our members, we are able to purchase new books to add to our collection. We learn about new books from many sources. We are members of the Jewish Book Council, our staff and volunteers scour book reviews online, in newspapers and magazines, we hear from publishers and sometimes directly from authors! Let us know if you find something that you think would be a fit for our library! We are happy to welcome Caryn Blomquist to our library staff in mid-August, stop by and say hi! * Dear Susan is written by CBS Executive Director, Susan Karlinsky.

SISTERHOOD Jackie Zelkowitz
Congregation Beth Shalom may, at first, seem daunting in size. In fact, however, we are a close -knit community that helps and supports each other. Rabbi Melman always refers to us as a family, and he is correct. Our first Rosh Hashanah at CBS, services seemed so large. Shortly after that, someone reached out and asked me to help on one or two small projects for the Sisterhood. None were very time consuming. I began to meet the members of the congregation and the clergy. We attended a few other services, and sat down at Kiddush with some of the people I met. The following year, as we sat down at Rosh Hashanah services, we were greeted with warm wishes by so many people. It really felt like we were part of the CBS family.
Summer has flown by so quickly, and it is September once again. As I write this, and COVID is coming back, I hope that we will still be able to be together in-person as the congregation has planned. CBS has adapted to the pandemic to support the CBS family, and I truly believe there is light at the end of this tunnel. The Sisterhood has been working hard during the summer planning a lot of wonderful programs for the year to come. We are optimistic that we will soon be together in-person. Nevertheless, we are prepared for all of our programs to have the option to attend remotely. Schools have started opening up again. I hope that our children all have a more normal school year. By now, you should have received the Sisterhood mailing. If you did not, please reach out to the Synagogue office. Due to the holidays, our Opening Luncheon will be on Wednesday, October 13th. We are very fortunate to have Susan Abrams, Chief Executive Officer of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center as our featured speaker. Let me invite you to join us in Sisterhood. It would be my pleasure to meet you personally and introduce you to some of the members. You can attend one of our programs, and if you have an hour or two, we would love to invite you to help. There is always a place for you. If you will join us, you will see that although there are more than a thousand family members of CBS, we are really a small family. Wishing you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year. L’Shanah Tovah!

MEN’S CLUB L’Shana Tova and a happy and sweet new year to all from the CBS Men’s Club! We began our new year helping out with Yom Beth Shalom by cooking and serving hot dogs and chips. On Sunday morning, September 12th, we will build the CBS outdoor sukkah. We would appreciate anyone’s assistance if you would like to help us build. Our first Men’s Club Breakfast will be on Sunday, September 19th featuring Dr. Steve Zaacks, a cardiologist at Northwest Community Hospital and a CBS member. He will speak on “How to Prevent and Identify a Heart Attack & Its Effect on Our Lives, Part 2.” We will continue our Men’s Health initiative with interesting and informative programs. Our Opening Dinner will be on Thursday, September 23rd. It will be a special Steaks in the Sukkah event with David Schuster, a sports personality formerly of WSCR, 670 the SCORE, and ESPN 1000, WMVP. David will be joining us to talk playoff baseball and Chicago Bears football. Please see the flyer and sign up for a great opening evening for the CBS Men’s Club 2021-2022. As we shared with you last month, we would like to introduce you to our executive board. Let’s meet Bob Goldwin, our Executive Vice President. Bob was born in Silver Springs, Maryland. At the age of two, his family moved to South Bend, Indiana. He celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at Temple Beth El and, during the summers, he was a camper and sailing instructor at Greenwoods Camp in Decatur, Michigan. Bob wants you to know that as a camper he was voted the “Cutest Guy Camper” two years in a row!! He attended high school there and was a diver on the swim team. After four years majoring in criminology at The Ohio State University, he moved to Memphis and worked as a probation officer and then as a security manager. Wherever Bob lived, he involved himself in Jewish life and was active at Temple Israel in Memphis and soon became recording secretary of the Men’s Club. After three years, Bob decided to attend Loyola University in Chicago and earn a masters in Elementary Education. Soon thereafter, Bob got involved in the JUF Young Leadership Division and, at a Shabbat in the Box Dinner, he met his wife, Frannie Goldberg. Bob and Frannie joined CBS in 2012, and they both became very involved at CBS. Bob’s previous Men’s Club positions include programming, membership and now Executive VP. Bob has been in Elementary Education for the last twenty years, and he currently teaches 3rd grade at Chicago City Day School. Bob and Frannie have two daughters, Maddie (11) and Avery (8). Bob enjoys coaching both his daughters in soccer, currently coaches middle school basketball, and also has coached the CBS USY Boys Basketball team to years of championships. We thank Bob for his continued years of support and time with the CBS Men’s Club and we look forward to these next two years as Executive VP. Happy New Year and may we all be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life! --Steve and Andy

CBS Memorial Plaques If you wish to honor the memory of a dear one, a most fitting, traditional and dignified remembrance is through a Memorial Plaque.
To my friends - thank you for your thoughtful Leagram messages for my special birthday. Fern Roseman
Each memorial plaque, bearing the name and yahrzeit date, is mounted on the tablet in the Moseson Alcove or Beit Midrash. It is lit on the Shabbat of the week of the yahrzeit, on the day of the yahrzeit and on the four festivals during the year when Yizkor is recited.
Thanks to Bettina Birkner for making the silver shine at CBS! Anonymous
Call Maria Catezone (847-498-4100 x26) for information or to order a plaque.
They say that life can change in a heartbeat, and this summer, I learned that literally. Thank you to the entire Congregation Beth Shalom family for your phone calls, e-mails, donations, and meals. There are so many ways in which you have made my recovery process easier. It is an honor to be part of a community that takes the welfare of its staff and members so seriously. May we all be blessed with a year of peace, contentment, and most importantly, good health. Rabbi Warner Ferratier 22
