A MESSAGE FROM THE
Rabbi
From the window in my home office, I am able to watch the children in my neighborhood running and playing. From hopscotch to freeze tag, to their delightful chasing after fireflies, the joy of their happy laughter has been a pleasant reprieve from the sound of my computer keyboard. Prior to the COVID stay-at-home orders, it was rare to see anyone out, much less the children playing in the street. No tag, no scooters or bikes, only the occasional wave from driveways as the children were being packed into the van. Yes neighbors were occasionally seen out walking their dogs, but rarely was a child out. But now, with travel limited to essential needs and most people working from home things are very different. For one, every single child in my neighborhood has learned to ride a bike, (or some form of electric mini-car)! One sees entire families out for strolls, neighbors enjoying driveway cocktail hours and the family dinner has regained importance. Recipe swaps and home baked bread is all the rage. At first this was due to limitations in the food supply chain, but now, it’s become a pleasant family activity, challah baking a weekly joy for many. In chatting with many people over the past three months, a common thread of thought has emerged- all focused around reprioritizing values. People share that they’ve been thinking a lot about their lives, the sacrifices, the things they have had to give up and the hidden blessings that have been revealed. It seems that for many in this pandemic they discovered the Ikar in living life. This Hebrew word, Ikar means: the essence, the inner core, the heart of the matter. Without a doubt, this pandemic caused disruption of major proportions in all aspects of life. It comes as no surprise that by scaling back, eyes and hearts have been opened to see the world and one another differently. For many it has fostered a reexamination of every assumption held and provided opportunity to think more deeply about living life; to assess the things that are most important: health, sacrifice, childhood, family, learning, environment, justice, privilege, freedom, spirituality‌ Many have discovered how interconnected humanity really is, and many are responding accordingly.
Pg. 2 News and Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah
We are thinking about, and talking about family values, Torah values, environmental values and human values. There is a revived appreciation for wants vs. needs, for the beauty and simplicity found in nature and many have discovered new levels of compassion, creativity and empathy. So what do we do with all of this thinking? As we rapidly emerge from shelter-in-place, some want to pick up right where they left off in March, but many others are taking the time to reassess. What will be kept and what will be cast aside? Will I go back into the rat race, or has something changed in me, and if so, how can I nourish that shift? These questions translate to our sense of Jewish community as well. As participants in this Kehillah Kedosha of Beth Tikvah, as we construct what post-COVID life at TBT will look like, we must ask ourselves important questions for the self and the group. As an individual who has grown and learned much about myself during this time, what will animate me spiritually, and bring me a renewed sense of purpose? What do I want from synagogue life and how can I help to bring it to fruition? What lessons and experiences do we desire for ourselves and our children that will bring a sense of purpose and hope? How do I see myself contributing to the growth of this community? As a TBT community, what is our Ikar? These are the questions that I am asking myself as a human being and these are the essential questions that I am contemplating as the rabbi of this holy congregation. As we all begin to emerge from the virtual spaces and reanimate our congregational life, I hope that you will share with me your thoughts about how you are feeling and thinking. What lessons you have learned from this time of global constriction and how you might share your time, your gifts and your wisdom as together we grow forward from this time of liminality. I look forward to hearing from you. Until then, Blessing upon you all.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR
President
Shalom everyone, I am both thrilled and humbled to be elected as your new President of Temple Beth Tikvah. What a time to start my term! When I first began thinking of becoming President of TBT, the idea of a pandemic was not even remotely on my mind. Now, it is a major factor in all facets of how we can deliver our religious, educational, spiritual, social, and pastoral functions to our congregants. To say that this is a major challenge for us is an understatement, but we as a Board, clergy and staff are dedicated to make all of it happen somehow. By way of introduction, my Jewish journey began in Savannah, Georgia, where a large close-knit Jewish community thrives. My family was involved in synagogue life for as long as I can remember. My grandfather, for whom I was named, was one of the founders of an orthodox synagogue which later, in the 1950’s, joined the Conservative movement. My mother was on the Board, was Sisterhood president and an office volunteer. My parents stressed synagogue involvement as a sacred obligation. After moving to Atlanta a few years after college, my wife Waynah and I joined a Reform synagogue and I was on the Board of Trustees there. After retirement, we joined TBT in 2014 and I became Treasurer in 2015. Over the last three years, Rabbi Shuval-Weiner has performed weddings and baby naming for both of our children and grandchildren. As you can see, being involved in the temple is part of who I am. I also want to ensure that TBT will be there for my growing family.
Unlike many of my predecessors, I have not been a member of TBT for a decade or two before assuming this position. Thus, while I know many congregants by face or by name, I have not had the pleasure of meeting a lot of you. I look forward to making new acquaintances and nurturing the resulting friendships. Please reach out to me if you have problems, concerns, recommendations or just want to talk about TBT. I would be remiss in not thanking our wonderful clergy, educational staff, office staff and Board of Trustees for the job they have done in keeping our congregation moving forward during these very trying times. They have adapted to the current crisis and have shown creative ways of making sure we can continue serving you. Please join me in recognizing their efforts! L’shalom,

TBT RELIGIOUS SCHOOL Greetings from my dining room-turned-office! I hope everyone is staying well despite the ups and downs that this pandemic and its effects continue to bring. It was so wonderful to see the smiling faces of our TBT students and parents at our end-of-the-year celebration. Just as we began the year with excitement and anticipation, I believe we finished it in the same way - even though it looked a little different. Again, a huge thank you to our team of teachers who quickly pivoted learning and connecting from in-person to a virtual platform without missing a beat. Planning for next school year is in full swing. While uncertainties exist, and the expression “up in the air” comes into my mind several times a day, we are planning for all possibilities. It is challenging yet very exciting! If we cannot meet in person, we want to limit screen time and increase collaboration and engagement; those are central
Pg. 4 News and Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah
factors in all planning. So “up in the air” leads to thinking that is truly “out of the box!” Any and all feedback is welcome – please send it my way! If you have not yet done so, please register your child for the 2020-2021 school year. You can do this by logging into our website. If you need login information, please email admin@bethtikvah.com. As we wait for the school year to begin on August 16, be on the lookout for opportunities to stay connected this summer. In the meantime, know that I miss you all and I look forward to continuing your child’s Jewish journey together.
TBT YOUTH GROUP 2020-21 HOTTY Board President: Lola Bessoff Programming VP: Sophie Wilson Social Action VP: Casey Elinger Religious & Cultural VP: Mara Mershon Membership VP: Joshua Kinoshita Community VP: Seth Kinoshita Board Member-at-Large: Margot Shields Freshman Rep: Grace Engel Head Song Leader: Lauren Siegel
2019-20 HOTTY President, Ilana Mermelstein wrote the below article for JumpSpark. JumpSpark drives innovative teen programming out of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, and is one of the 10 communities that comprise the Jewish Teen Education and Engagement Funder Collaborative.
In the middle of March, I was about three-quarters of the way through my term as my youth group’s (House of Tikvah Temple Youth, or HOTTY) President, and, as a senior in high school, I was looking forward to my last few events as a board member and participant. However, my expectations for the remainder of the year were shattered when the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of, well, everything. Though we knew the year wouldn’t end as we had planned it would, the board acted quickly to develop plans for virtual programming and maintain the momentum we had created throughout the year. For the past month, HOTTY has hosted at least one event each week, all through the power of the Internet. Our events have ranged from virtual lounge nights to game nights, from movie nights to Instagram live classes, from virtual escape rooms to virtual tea parties. Lounge nights give our members the opportunity to simply catch up, as they would at our standard in-person lounge nights. We eat, laugh, and make plans for weekly challenges involving making all food in only a mug. Actually, that last part only happened at one of our virtual lounge nights, but it wouldn’t surprise me if an equally inventive topic arose at the next. The series of Instagram live classes has included a tutorial on turning a used water bottle into a birdfeeder, led by our Social Action Vice President, an art class, led by our Religious and Cultural Vice President, and a dance class dedicated solely to TikTok dances, led by me. Pg. 5 News and Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah
Needless to say, members have certainly been entertained. Our Elections and Game Night allowed members not only to elect next year’s board, but also to play a variety of interactive, virtual games and connect in a different and lightly competitive way. Though the virtual escape room and virtual tea party have yet to occur, I look forward to watching HOTTY grow closer during these atypical events. Despite the challenge posed by COVID-19, HOTTY has refused to let it impact the strength of our community. We adapted to the circumstances and found new, innovative ways to continue engaging with each other and with our Judaism. COVID-19 has made the development of interpersonal relationships hard, sure, but not impossible. Finding ways to work around the unfortunate situation at hand has allowed us to grow stronger and more resilient as a young, Jewish community, and I find that these traits will pave the way for a generation of strong, resilient Jewish adults.

Donor opportunities are visible on our TBT Website, and we encourage additional campaign donations for those in a position to do so prior to the end of our fiscal. Our annual “in-person� donor event is cancelled and will resume next year. Once again this year, gifts of $500+ are recognized with a leaf on our Tree of Life at your discretion. For those donations already received, you will hear from the synagogue shortly to complete your leaf request. To all of you, thank you very much for supporting the 2019-2020 Annual Campaign.
