This month we

celebrate one of the

Torah’s major holidays

– Shavuot. Shavuot

commemorates

the historical event of Matan Torah,

the revelation at Mt. Sinai and the

giving/receiving of the Ten Command-

ments and the Torah. According to

Jewish tradition, every Jew who has

lived or will live experiences Matan

Torah and stood at Sinai along with our

ancient ancestors.

While this was a monumental event

in Jewish history many of us were alive

to recall another major historical event

that occurred 49 years ago in June of

1967. It is celebrated each year in Israel

as Yom Yerushalayim-Jerusalem Day.

This day in Israel is a national holiday

commemorating the reunification of

the city of Jerusalem during the Six-Day

War.

After the 1948 War of Independ-

ence, the city was divided between Israel

and Jordan. The old city with the Kotel

and the Jewish quarter was off limits to

the Jewish world. Jewish residents

were forced to leave. One half of the

synagogues were demolished and the

Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives

was desecrated and plundered and its

tombstones used as paving stones and

building material.

That all changed forever on June 7,

1967, when Jerusalem was reunited

This year we are

celebrating Beth El’s

70 years and have just

done this officially on

May 20 along with the

installation of our new officers and

board members. Looking back we have

had years of dedicated leadership that

have brought us to the present. Working

with Marty and the members of the

Executive Committee and Board has

been rewarding over the last two years,

and Marty deserves our praise and

thanks for his exceptional stewardship

through our continuing transitions

beginning with exceptional leadership of

Gary and Andrea as we have moved to

our new home. There are so many who

have contributed to our transitions, and

we cannot thank them enough.

We continue to be in transition as

we begin the process of the search for

our new Rabbi. Jerry Nelson and I will

be co-chairing the Advisory Committee

that will facilitate the planning,

development and process for selecting

our next Rabbi. We are very fortunate

that Marty Belsky and Marvin Shapiro

have agreed to be co-chairs of our

Search Committee that will be

responsible for conducting the search

process. It is our expectation that the

Board of Trustees will approve the

selection of our new congregational

leader. If you want to be involved in the

search process, we are now asking for

volunteers to fill many different roles.

Search Update The Advisory Committee for the Rabbi

Search has met three times with our two

Search Committee Co-chairs, Marty Belsky

and Marvin Shapiro. Marty and Marvin have

interviewed representatives of the Rabbinical

Assembly, the successful Search Committee

for Temple Israel’s new Rabbi, and the

Search Committee for Cleveland’s Shaarey

Tikvah.

The co-chairs, with the help of the Advisory

Committee, have almost completed the

Questionnaire (application) to the Rabbinical

Assembly and will be putting together a

subcommittee structure. The document will

propose a method of staff assistance for the

search, developing a budget for the search, setting up timing and a method

for application reviews, screening, and

visits. It is expected that the process will

continue over the summer, with more intense

effort in the early fall, and a proposed

candidate in January or February.

c t

under Jewish sovereignty for the first time

in 2000 years. United Jerusalem became

the undivided capital of modern Israel and

for the Jewish people. General Moshe

Dayan wrote at that time, “We have

returned to the holiest of our places, never

to part from it again.” On May 12, 1968,

Israel declared 28 Iyar (this year on

Sunday, June 5) as a new Jewish holiday,

Yom Yerushalayim.

While mostly observed in Israel, some

congregations in the Diaspora will recite

Hallel and other special prayers to

highlight our special city of Jerusalem.

Each year this modern day holiday

should be a reminder to every Jew who stood/stands/ will stand at Sinai that

Jerusalem was and is the eternal

capital of Israel and of the Jewish

People. It has been so for 3000 years.

As the prophets Micah and Isaiah

declare in our Tanach, “Kee mitziyon

tatzay Torah ud’var Adonai mee-

yerushalayim”-Torah shall come from

Zion. The word of the Lord from

Jerusalem.”

May the holy city of Jerusalem

continue to thrive and prosper.

Shalom and Blessings,

Rabbi Stephen Grundfast

This will be one of the most important contributions that anyone can

make to Beth El’s future. Please contact us to join in the enterprise.

One of our first steps in the process was participating in focus

groups to discuss key issues that were important to our congregation.

The results are being used to fill out the congregational questionnaire

that will be sent to the Rabbinical Assembly as part of the search

process. The development of this document is now taking place and

will be shared with the Board and committees when it is completed.

There will be an opportunity for review and comment. Mindy Block

Gordon, District Kehilla Relationship Manager, Central District

United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, is serving as a consultant

and will come to Akron to meet with the Steering Committee to assist

us as we develop our process We will publish progress reports in

future issues of the Bulletin as we move ahead. We expect that we

will submit our application in June.

On a personal note, Ronni and I with our children, Anthony and

Randy Rose, moved to Akron in 1971 when I joined The University

of Akron. Our youngest son, George, was born in Akron. We have

been members of Beth El since that time and were welcomed into the

Beth El family. I have been involved in board activities for most of

these years. My three children have all had Bar or Bat Mitzvahs here.

All my children have attended Camp Ramah with the help of Beth El.

My granddaughter has had her Bat Mitzvah at Beth El and two of my

grandchildren have attended Camp Ramah with help from Beth El.

Our synagogue has been an important part of my family’s life. In

my role as President, I hope that I can contribute to providing the

same opportunity for others to feel involved and part of the Beth El

family. Feel free to contact me at any time if you have suggestions to

facilitate our present and future.

My best,

Harvey
