NOTE S

FROM

THE

CANTOR

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME In a few days I will be leading a group of 17 high school students from our synagogue on a trip of a lifetime to Israel. The group will also be accompanied by Stuart Brody and Jill Kripke who will help chaperone our large and enthusiastic group.

During the two years that I have been your Hazzan, I have been fortunate to get to know many of the students well. In addition I was privileged to work with them for their impressive Confirmation ceremony that took place on May 5. The twelve Confirmands’ presentation was outstanding, conveyed with confidence and poise. The time we spent together cemented a much deeper bond between us which I know will grow from our pilgrimage to Israel together.

For most it will be their first trip to Israel, one that has the potential to be a life altering experience. It should strengthen students’ Jewish identity and solidify their relationship with Israel. My first trip to Israel was while in college in Cape Town, South Africa. I was chosen to join participants from around the world for a summer course of study at Jerusalem’s Machon Greenberg. This experience is still vivid in my mind and changed my life forever, helping strengthen my commitment to serve our People as a kli kodesh, a Hazzan and teacher.

Highlights of B’nai Israel’s trip include Caesaria, the Galilee and Lake Kineret, The Golan Heights, olive oil making, Israel Defense Force border patrol, Grottos of Rosh Hanikra, and Jerusalem with Shabbat service at the Kotel. A highlight will be a visit to our Toledo Federation Partnership Region in Akko, with its Crusader fortress and working gallows from the British Mandate period.

This trip is particularly timely in light of predictions from Israel trip organizers that this could be a season of historically low teenager travel to Israel, particularly considering this is a time when there are no major security concerns. The Jewish Weekly of April 26, 2013, reported a drop of up to 50% in American teen participation in Israel trips since 2000. This could be explained by the economic depression but also by the highly successful Birthright program which is available to college students and young adults. I feel that experiencing Israel as a teenager is more powerful than college age or as a young adult.

Our group will participate in the Shabbat service on June 8 with an aliyah which is traditional before one visits Israel. You can also look forward to daily reports from the trip on my blog at www.cantorlichterman.com , as well as formal reports to our congregation and its affiliates after we return.

The trip, which is the third from B’nai Israel, is made possible through generous support from the Sherwin and Naomi Kripke Israel Program Fund and we are deeply appreciative to the Kripke family for what we know will be an extraordinary life altering experience.

Dear B’nai Israel Congregants, For many of us one of the most important parts of the services during the High Holy Days is the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur. It is at that time when we turn our thoughts to our Loved Ones who have left this earth. We use this meaningful time to reflect upon their lives as well as the lives of all those who were members of our congregation, family and friends. In addition, we take the time to formally recognize the Martyrs of our people, most especially the Six Million who were murdered during the Holocaust.

As part of this process we print a more permanent Yizkor Book which will contain the Yizkor Service, a list of those on the synagogue’s Memorial Plaques, and a memorial to the Six Million. Not only is this book long lasting, but anyone who wishes will be able to take it home for use during the year.

I would urge everyone to take advantage of this opportunity as a way of remembering those dearest to us, and at the same time, helping the congregation. Please use the order form below or email by August 14 to be included this year If you wish to maintain your entry from last year, you need do nothing. The synagogue will bill you.

I look forward to greeting everyone during the High Holy Days.

Shana Tova A Blessed Year, Hazzan Ivor Lichterman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Yizkor Book “In Remembrance” The “IN REMEMBRANCE” section of the Yizkor book for 5774, includes a list of names submitted by our members and friends as personal memorials. There is a minimum contribution of $18.00 per memorial name, per donor. Please return the form below along with your check by Wednesday August 14th or email and pay by credit card Names should be printed the way you wish them to appear in the program.

USY & KADIMA

As we wind down the school year, I would like to take a moment and thank our graduating seniors and our outgoing USY (United Synagogue Youth) board for all of their hard work and accomplishments this year. Our graduating class of 2013 includes, Max Kaufman, Zoe Yaffe, Michelle Jacobson, Shayna Zack and Catie Sack. Their collective dedication to the chapter through the years has made BITUSY (B’nai Israel Toledo USY) an award winning and successful chapter. We wish you all the best in your future college endeavors.

This year’s success would have not been possible, if it were not for our 2012‐2013 BITUSY executive board. Todah rabah to Presidents Shayna Zack and Zoe Yaffe; Israel Affairs VP Catie Sack; Membership and Kadima VP Sam Zack; Social Action and Takkun Olam VP Michelle Jacobson; Religious Education VP Deena Zucker and Communications VP Josh Brody. Along with BITUSY’s general board the Executive Board planned a wide range of innovative and exciting programs and through collaboration with Kadima created a welcoming atmosphere.

At Regionals this year, BITUSY took 1st Place in the following categories: Best Religious Education Program, Best Membership and Kadima Program and Most Money raised for Philanthropy per member. BITUSY was also recognized as the Region's most improved Chapter Fall Board and Freshmen Kinnus 2013‐ October 3rd‐ 6th

We are very excited to announce that BITUSY will be hosting the 2013 Fall Boards/ Freshman Kinnus at Congregation B’nai Israel. This is an amazing opportunity for Jewish youth around the Midwest to participate in a weekend full of leadership, education, Jewish community and fun.
