SMALL ACTS CHANGE THE WORLD Welcome to the January/February issue of Shalom Greensboro magazine.

The focus for this edition is volunteerism. The feature article, Giving Back is a Way of Life, shares the experiences of six members of our Jewish community who value the experience of giving back as a volunteer.

Also in this issue, we highlight the Campaign Kickoff Weekend that celebrated 80 years of Federation. This weekend was so meaningful because it included three amazing events that concluded with a panel discussion on the history and future of the Greensboro Jewish Federation.

Learn more about our Major Gifts Dinner where everyone was moved by the art exhibit by Gesche Würfel, which explored the history and memory of World War II through photography.

As we move into 2020, we look forward to seeing you again at our upcoming events [listed in the back of this edition], as we all work to make our Greensboro Jewish community a place where YOUR Jewish life can thrive.

Sue Simmons, President Greensboro Jewish Federation

FEDERATION Welcomes Doron Ezickson Speaking on the topic of “Fighting the New Anti-Semitism”, Doron Ezickson, regional director of the Washington, D.C. office of the ADL, provided a briefing to leadership in the Greensboro Jewish community in November.

The briefing included an overview of what the ADL is doing to combat anti-Semitism and also shared statistics on incidents in North Carolina, citing an increase in reported Sue Simmons and Doron Ezickson incidents from 16 in 2017 to 34 in 2018 or a 113% increase in anti-Semitic incidents.

The ADL was founded on Jewish values in 1913 and has always worked to stop anti-Semitism and defend the Jewish people. Doron shared that the ADL works closely with law enforcement to identify areas of concern and fight threats that include cyberhate, bullying, bias in schools and in the criminal justice system, terrorism, hate crimes, coercion of religious minorities, and contempt for anyone who is different.

ON MY MIND: The Power of Volunteers

By Marilyn Forman Chandler, Executive Director What drives volunteers to say yes? I have often wondered this as we have so many incredibly generous volunteers who give of their time and talents to our community. In Hebrew, one who gives generously is called a nadiv lev; one who is big-hearted.

When David Frazier, our JFS Volunteer Coordinator sent out a request for volunteers to make sandwiches on ‘Black Friday’ our goal was to make 500 sandwiches. Our large Federation meeting room overflowed with hundreds of helping hands, including two former Federation Presidents - Joslin LeBauer Marilyn Forman and Tom Sloan - and their families. We ended up Chandler making 600+ sandwiches, which were distributed through Urban Ministry to help feed the hungry in Greensboro.

I love running into volunteers as they come and go and spend their time here at the Federation. They do so lovingly, with full hearts and souls. They are true menschen with compassion and hearts of gold who seek to help others in their time of need. Our volunteers who serve on the Boards of the Federation, Foundation and/or Family Services are compelled by our respective missions.

We estimate that we have over 1,100 volunteers each year who give thousands of hours of time, energy and resources. Former Federation President Jim Adelman held up two fingers when I asked him once how he determines whether to volunteer, he responded “I ask myself two questions”: 1. “Will it be worth my time?” and 2.

“Will I be able to make a difference?”

I have used those questions as a measure for myself when I commit to serving as a volunteer. I also respond to In recent weeks, Greensboro lost three community potential Federation volunteers who ask members who made a big impact of not just our those same questions with a resounding local Jewish community, but on the world. “yes, it will be worth your time” and “yes, Joanne K. Bluethenthal, z”l served on the you will make a difference”. I know that Guilford County School Board and played a critical because I know how meaningful our role in the Civil Rights Movement, working toward volunteer experiences can be. Frankly, desegregating the public schools. She was active our professionals couldn’t do their in almost every aspect of Greensboro civic life jobs without the absolute support and and was President of the Greensboro Jewish commitment of our dedicated corps of Federation from 1980-82. volunteers.

For all of you who extend your hand James (Jim) D. Klau, z”l was responsible, along and say Hineni [here I am] when asked with his wife Sue, for the founding of a reform to volunteer, you are a Nadiv Lev, a congregation in San Juan, Puerto Rico. They were generous heart.

And for that we are significant funders and active in national and eternally grateful.

If you are not currently international Reform Movement activities. volunteering, there is surely a volunteer Rabbi Harry Sky, z”l was a nationally known civil opportunity for you and we invite you rights activist who moved to Greensboro in 2009. to take a look at what is available and May their memories be as blessings to all who learn more — because our Federation is knew them and to our community.

FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL: Celebrating the Past Brings Hope to the Future Kickoff weekend - what is there to say other than WOW? Three nights of events for our community with over 350 people engaged throughout the weekend. I cannot think of a better way to honor our community for the 80th anniversary.

On Friday evening, we had people all over Greensboro experiencing Shabbat dinners Jessica together. From JTriad dinners Wisniewski and dinners with past mission participants to young families getting together, it was definitely a special night for all involved.

On Saturday evening, 115 members of our community came together for Jews & Brews. It was a festive evening with delicious food and great company.

I would also like to highlight the Jews & Juice event that was held at the home of Linda & Jerry Shapiro.

They hosted over 25 children at their home and enabled parents of young children to attend Jews & Brews.

This is just one example of what makes Greensboro so special. The Shapiro family saw a way to get the kids involved in our fun-filled celebration weekend and took it upon themselves to make it happen.

The main event was held on Sunday night at the Greensboro History Museum. It was a spectacular night

filled with emotions and empowerment. In my opinion, the panel was the highlight of the night. Each person on the panel told us their stories and gave us hope for the future. Thank you to all (Erin Rosen, Ashley Garcia, Emily Gray, and the staff at the Federation) who made this weekend possible. I think it is a weekend that many of us will never forget!

Many of us are now thinking to ourselves how we can sustain our special community for another 80 years. What do each of us need to do to ensure that our community is here for another 80 years? Let’s continue to support the 2020 Annual Campaign and other campaigns to follow! You all have the power to keep this community going. Thank you for allowing us to be POWERED BY YOU!

JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES VOLUNTEERING:

A Way of Life in the Jewish Community “When my daughter and I volunteer at the JFS food pantry, we know we are helping those less fortunate. It means a lot to me to teach Rachel the value of tikkun olam and she loves helping other children and families,” said Nichol Walters.

The spirit of volunteerism is strong in the Jewish community, according to Betsy Gamburg, Director, Jewish Family Services (JFS). “We offer many opportunities for members of our community to volunteer and volunteers make our programs successful and vibrant,” Betsy added.

In the past year, hundreds of people volunteered more than 1,200 hours for JFS programs and projects. The volunteers come from all demographics in the Jewish community, including the youngest helpers (preschoolers), who volunteer in the food pantry with their parents.

One program that relies heavily on volunteers is the JFS Food Pantry, which serves approximately 130 families — all through the help of volunteers who work every week to fill bags of food and distribute to those in need.

“Volunteering at the JFS food pantry is so important to me and my family. I especially love volunteering with my kids because it shows them the importance of giving back to the community and Addie Sellars, Jordan Kraus helping others who might need just a little and Hannah Murinson bit of support,” said Danielle Swick, who volunteers with her daughter Julia.

Volunteers Ellen Levin and Lori Heimann pack the bags of food each week and Maddie Reed helps to distribute the bags to food pantry recipients. Maddie shares her thoughts, “It could just as easily be any of us. Our clients are brave enough to walk up our sidewalk and ask for food and no one has ever left without saying thank you.”

Ellen added, “We really accomplish something when we come here.”

Some of the most passionate volunteers are the Special Needs Young Adults who help at the holiday gift bag programs, the Chanukah party at Abbotswood, and also help pack bags of food at Out of the Garden and at the food pantry.

JFS thanks all of the volunteers who work each week to make others’ lives better. Learn more at www.jfsgreensboro.org.

The spirit “ of volunteerism

is strong in the Jewish community.

Annual Blood Drive Results Help to Save Many Lives Helping to save lives through blood donations is something that the Greensboro Jewish community has done for decades through the Annual Blood Drive in Memory of Ruth and Morry Jacobs. This year’s drive resulted in a record number of 59 units donated. Each unit can save up to three lives, so as many as 177 patients can benefit from these donations.

“Knowing the value and need for donors made our mission have a real purpose that is truly lifesaving,” said Jamie Schleuning, who cochaired this year’s event, along with Karen Gould.

Donor Lon Tytell couldn’t stop talking about the wonderful people he met at the drive and how impressed he was that the community had such a great outpouring. He commented that “giving blood always makes me feel I am doing something important.”

“We are grateful to the many people who took the time to donate and help this year as part of a decades long tradition. Your efforts Lon Tytell gives blood save lives,” co-chair Karen Gould added.

This “ year’s drive

ON THE COVER

Our cover features a dynamic Greensboro couple, Aaron and Andra LeBauer. The LeBauer’s own and operate a physical therapy and wellness center in Greensboro which offers not only physical therapy, massage therapy and therapeutic private yoga, but also integrative health coaching.

“My mission is to bring more mindfulness and wellness to the Greensboro community. I enjoy sharing the power of mindfulness with our Jewish community and especially with children and older adults,” reflected Andra, who shares her love of meditation through programs at both Temple Emanuel and Beth David Synagogue.

Aaron and Andra are involved parents at B’nai Shalom Day School, where they have two daughters ages 10 and 8, who have been a part of getting the ‘Mensch Bench’ for the school and most recently have been organizing a coat collection for kids in need.

“Our kids are the real mitzvah masters,” Andra said. “They inspire us to do more in our community,” Aaron added.

Starting in February, Andra will offer a Therapeutic Chair Yoga and Guided Relaxation class at Federation through Jewish Family Services.

My mission “ is to bring more mindfulness and wellness to the Greensboro community.

GIVING BACK is a way of life The Greensboro Jewish Federation acts as a convener for those seeking volunteer opportunities.

David Rosenstein has lived in Greensboro for 43 years. For this retiree and active volunteer within the Jewish community and greater Greensboro, giving back is a way of life. “For those of us within the Jewish community, we grow up learning the concept of tikkun olam as a way of life, and it never leaves us,” explains Rosenstein.

Jewish volunteerism in Greensboro does indeed start in preschool, with children filling the Jewish Federation building to sort goods for Backpack Beginnings, put together Chanukah gift bags for seniors and make sandwiches for the food insecure. The spirit of service runs deep in the local community, and is one reason Greensboro is ranked as a top place to live.

Contributing to the growth of Greensboro is the reason JTriad chair Beth Mannella volunteers: “I volunteer in the downtown Greensboro arts community at Carolina Theatre, Triad Stage, and Community Theatre of Greensboro. As a Jewish young professional who lives in downtown Greensboro, I believe in the value of the arts as a contributing factor to a growing, thriving community.”

When Steve and Wendy Lewensohn, retirees from Milwaukee, WI, visited Greensboro for the first time, it was an extremely cold night. But the warmth the Lewensohns felt at Temple Emanuel services that night, and the welcoming and service-oriented spirit of the people they met, convinced them to make the move.

Fast forward 18 months, and the Lewensohns live in Greensboro and are well-established active volunteers in the Jewish community at the JFS food pantry, at Moses Cone, at the Urban Ministry, and through Temple Emanuel.

Federation is “ the focal point for my involvement because it represents the entire Jewish community

”

“The Jewish community helped us make all the connections we needed,” Wendy Lewensohn explained.

“It was so easy to contact JFS. With just one phone call, we had a million opportunities to volunteer and get connected.”

For Andra West LeBauer, who owns LeBauer Physical Therapy with her husband Aaron, the spirit of service drives everything she does.

“It is my mission to bring more mindfulness to people in Greensboro through meditation, yoga, and inquiry,” explains West LeBauer. “That is my core value and my defining mission. This means volunteering with kids at B’nai Shalom and seniors at JFS to teach yoga, mindfulness at Beth David and Temple Emanuel, and launching Get Mindful Greensboro for the greater community.

West LeBauer creates opportunities throughout the Jewish community for mindfulness, which focuses awareness on the present moment. She describes service as a way of life for her and her family: “I want people to obtain wellness for themselves, and I see that as service; that in turn lends itself to volunteer work.”

For West LeBauer, the Federation is the “convener” of the Jewish community’s proactive, philanthropic, and compassionate work.

David Rosenstein agrees: “The Federation is the focal point for my involvement because it represents the entire Jewish community, and there are so many ways to get involved. And truly, doing for the community is doing something for yourself.”

But for Andra West LeBauer, it’s not just that service is important to her, it’s also a legacy for her children, just as her husband, Aaron, learned when he was young.

“Growing up in Greensboro I saw extreme volunteerism, as that was a major identity of my parents and their friends,” explained Aaron LeBauer.

Now the LeBauers are teaching their two daughters the value of community engagement. As West LeBauer said: “When we volunteer, I know that our kids are watching. We are teaching them that being a mensch, and doing a mitzvah whenever possible, is always the most important thing they can do.”

JEWISH FOUNDATION KATHRYN MIREE Speaks on Planned

B’nai Shalom Financial Planning for Families with Young Children

Giving and Endowments

The Jewish Foundation of Greensboro recently hosted two days of educational programming featuring Kathryn Miree, JD, a nationally known Planned Giving and Endowment Consultant.

“Education is an integral component of our mission. Providing our community and institutions with the knowledge to make educated financial decisions regarding bequests, endowments, and other planned gifts will help strengthen and support Greensboro’s Jewish institutions,” said Susan Gutterman, Endowment Director, Jewish Foundation of Greensboro.

The Foundation has re-launched the Create a Jewish Legacy initiative, a shared commitment by Greensboro synagogues and Jewish organizations to work together to secure a more vibrant Jewish future by growing their endowments.

Create a Jewish Legacy, spearheaded by Co-Chairs Cathy Levinson and Mike Berkelhammer, began with a training session for affiliates that featured a targeted discussion, “How to Become an Expert on the Conversations for Endowments”.

The Foundation’s Committee of Professional Advisors, co-chaired

by Jeri D’Lugin and Jerry Pinsker, and Federation’s Cardozo Society, co-chaired by Ryan Luft, sponsored a breakfast program “Trends in Giving Smart” featuring Kathryn Miree, who presented a detailed explanation of constantly changing tax laws, tax benefits for gifts, charitable IRA rollovers, charitable planning goals and more.

Lastly, the Foundation hosted a luncheon and program, “Women’s Financial Empowerment: Seven Habits of Highly Effective Women”.

According to Kathryn, “Women represent a majority of the U.S. population and have money, power, and influence.” Miree encouraged the women present to engage in their planning process - estate plans, financial plans, and budgets and focus on the goals, objectives, and outcomes they want to achieve.

FINANCIAL PLANNING

for Families with Young Children “As a mom with young children, financial planning is something that can easily take a backseat in our busy lives.

Yet, it is so important to think ahead and plan for our families’ future,” said Mindy Andrews, who co-chaired the recent educational program with Brandon Gray.

The Jewish Foundation of Greensboro and B’nai Shalom Day School co-hosted a special program in November titled Financial Planning for Families with Young Children: What Every Parent Needs to Know.

The program featured a knowledgeable panel of experts: Attorney Blaire Davidowitz McClanahan, Law Offices of Cheryl David, discussed Trusts, Power of Attorney and health care; Sam Cone, Pinsker Wealth Management, shared information on life insurance, college planning, and retirement plans; and Special Needs Trusts, Wills and Guardianships were presented by Leigh Anne Kasias, Wyatt Early Harris Wheeler. Freddy Robinson, Bernard Robinson and Company, served as the moderator.

“Hearing from experts in the field was helpful for parents,” added Brandon Gray. “This program offered a lot of good information that will be useful in the coming years as many of us plan for the future financially.”

the Henry Samuel Levinson Program Endowment for Jewish Studies, the Barbara Colchamiro Endowment, the Judith Rosenstock Hyman Jewish Studies Program Endowment, and the Greensboro Jewish Federation.

COMMUNITY BETH DAVID Families Fight Food Insecurity Beth David is helping to fight food insecurity in Greensboro.

Every fourth Sunday volunteers gather at Lindley Elementary School for Out of the Garden and then head over to Greene Street to pass out food with StreetWatch.

Rachel Wolf, parent of Jonah and Lily, said, “[My kids] are growing up in a stable, middle-class household without concerns about going hungry for a meal. I feel it is important for my children to learn not only how lucky they are to have their needs met, but also to learn empathy, compassion, and how to be a good neighbor and citizen.”

Unsurprisingly, Wolf isn’t the only parent that feels that way.

Of the 25 volunteers each month, the majority are young families. Emilie Samet sees StreetWatch as an opportunity for members of Beth David to come together and help the homeless.

“Families of all ages Susan Robinson and are able to serve with Lena Ben-Gideon volunteer a smile and meet great at Out of the Garden. people, who are so appreciative of the warm meals and support.” Volunteering for the most vulnerable is the part of Tikkun Olam.

Everyone is welcome to participate. Lee Shapiro sees the opportunity as a “nice mitzvah to be able give back to the community and help out the less fortunate.” He highly encourages others to volunteer.

For Wolf, the best part of volunteering with StreetWatch is “seeing my children converse with our dinner recipients - looking them in the eye, laughing and talking with one another.”

COMMUNITY An important mitzvot: CAROLINA FOUNDATION FOR JEWISH SENIORS Volunteers are the Heart of B’NAI SHALOM DAY SCHOOL Volunteers at B’nai Shalom come in many forms.

From parent volunteers, to Reading Mentors, to the Board of Trustees, each group of volunteers generously gives their time and effort to make B’nai Shalom a magical place.

The Board of Trustees at B’nai Shalom is comprised of 16 community members. From B’nai parents to grandparents to Heads of Schools, the Board members meet on a regular basis to fulfill the mission of safeguarding the long term vitality of the school.

“Board members are stewards of B’nai Shalom and are committed to the continued excellence of the school,” said Brian Ross, current Board President.

The Board works at a policy level to plan strategically, create the financial resources necessary to implement the strategic plan and form strong connections with the larger Jewish community.

B’nai Shalom’s beloved Reading Mentors come to the school once a week and spend time with the early readers (K - 2nd). Bonds and relationships are formed between mentors and students as they read together each week. Mentors help students feel more confident in their reading, help foster a love for reading and learning, and promote conversational skills with that student.

What is any school without Parent Volunteers?

B’nai’s Sunshine Committee is comprised of parent volunteers who serve as room parents, coordinate holiday and special school activities, and so much more. They brighten the days of the students, staff and faculty.

If you are interested in serving on the Board of Trustees, Development Committee, Marketing Committee, or interested in becoming a Reading Mentor at B’nai Shalom, please email info@bnaishalom.org.

The Carolina Foundation for Jewish Seniors has been seeding programs to help its target demographic for over 14 years. In that time, the organization has disbursed nearly $3 million to various non-profits working to improve the quality of life for Jewish seniors.

What’s remarkable about this feat is the funds are from the original endowment when the foundation was created. Moreover, aside from Executive Director Wendee Cutler, the foundation has been sustained by a dedicated and committed volunteer board from across the Carolinas since its inception as the BJH Foundation for Senior Services in 2005.

The foundation was recently renamed Carolina Foundation for Jewish Seniors (CFJS) to better reflect its mission.

“I am inspired to work with CFJS because it is a meaningful and enjoyable responsibility helping direct significant resources that assist elderly Jews in North and South Carolina communities,” said Ari Medoff, President-elect of the CFJS board.

If providing for the needs of Jewish seniors is the primary goal of CFJS, inspiring volunteers is an important secondary benefit. Many grantees rely on volunteers to deliver the services CFJS funds. Cutler views this as laying the groundwork for mitzvot.

Some of the funds have a direct impact on the Greensboro community, including the Congregational Nurse, Chai Notes as well as other programs.

“I am just so thankful for the dedication and commitment of these passionate and caring people,” reflects Cutler. “Ensuring Jewish seniors spend their golden years with dignity and enjoying the fruits of their life’s labors is one of the most important mitzvot.”

Volunteers: The Backbone of TEMPLE EMANUEL’S Jewish Festival What annual event brings thousands of people from across the broader Greensboro community together to celebrate Jewish food, crafts and culture? The Temple Emanuel Jewish Festival is fast becoming one of Greensboro’s most popular and well-known events. This year’s crowd was bigger than ever and everyone had a wonderful time enjoying a beautiful sunny day filled with festivities.

The annual Temple Emanuel Jewish Festival was held on November 3, 2019 and was a huge undertaking that required a multitude of volunteers.

The most recent festival had 36 Festival Committee Chairs, 12 Booth Chairs and 323 individual volunteer positions.

“We cannot thank everyone enough who volunteered for the festival this year. It would not have been a success for Temple Emanuel, or as enjoyable for the public, without our incredible volunteers.

Thank you!” said Elisa Liss, Jewish Festival co-chair.

Added her co-chair Barri Volunteers help check in Maxwell, “The festival is an festival attendees. incredible accomplishment and a testament to the dedication of many people that ensure its success year after year. While the greatest percentage of volunteers come from our Temple membership, we also have a number of volunteers who are not members.”

The Jewish Festival enjoys the support of the entire community, including volunteers from other faiths.

In addition, students from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Guilford College, Elon University and High Point University volunteer as part of a service-learning requirement.

The connections made at our PJ programs help to solidify bonds between families in our community,” according to Carly Dunno, Outreach and Engagement Manager.

The Shabbat spirit was felt throughout the night as children played and parents mingled.

“Our goal is to offer low-barrier programming where all families feel comfortable participating, no matter where they are on their Jewish journey,” added Dunno.

The continued success of the PJ Library program depends on active and committed parent volunteers.

There is a persistent belief that young people are selfabsorbed, narcissistic, and unwilling to set themselves aside for the common good.

Clearly, those who subscribe to that notion have never met the teens who volunteer for Chabad of Greensboro’s Friendship Circle, which pairs teens with children with special needs.

“Week in and week out we see dozens of young people give up their Sundays to spend time with someone who may not even have the verbal capacity to say ‘thank you,’” says Hindy Plotkin, who directs the program.

“Friendship Circle is built on the belief that volunteering is rewarding, fulfilling and addictive, which it is.”

In addition to spending time at home, the pairs often participate in special inclusive events, where young people of all abilities enjoy the comfort of belonging, of being part of something beautiful, where every person counts, and everyone is valued for who they are.

When asked about their motive for volunteering, many of the teens claim they do not understand the question. “I get so much more out of spending time with my special friend than she gets from me,” replied Hannah Pines. “She gets someone to chat with and play games, but I get to see an inner world, a richness of spirit that I never even knew existed.

When I say ‘goodbye’ at the end of a session, I always say ‘thank you,’ and I mean it, because we volunteers get much more than we could possibly give.”

JTRIAD Helps Greensboro Families with Food Insecurity When young Jewish professionals in Greensboro and the surrounding communities crave the company of fellow Jews, they don’t always head to shul. Through monthly Shabbat dinners and get-togethers at local establishments and watering holes, JTriad offers a more socially oriented outlet for the younger generation.

These outings are fun and an alternative way to create a sense of community for 20- and 30-somethings who may not have family in the area. But, that’s not all the group is about.

“We like hanging out with each other,” says Beth Mannella, co-chair of JTriad. “But we also want to create ties with the greater community, do something positive and act on our Jewish values.”

A recent experience provided an opportunity to do just that. After learning that members of Beth David Synagogue volunteer monthly at Out of the Garden Project – an organization dedicated to fighting food insecurity – Mannella wanted in on the action.

“I wanted to help, and I also wanted to involve more young professionals in the effort,” recalls Mannella.

So, on the last Sunday in October, a group of JTriad members showed up at Lindley Elementary School to help provide food to more than 30 families.

“It was a really rewarding experience volunteering with the Out of the Garden Project and helping people in our community receive food,” says JTriad member Jeremy Reiskind.

“After hearing a sermon on Yom Kippur about hunger, it inspired me to help where I could.”

With this experience under its collective belt, JTriad is looking for its next opportunity to pitch in. If you have suggestions or ideas, please contact JTriad.
