Congratulations to our goldsmith Early Childhood EduCation CEntErA State Accredited “School of Excellence”Congratulations to Michelle Gold, our teachers, our Education Committee, and our wonderful families and children on receiving the prestigious State of Maryland Department of Education Accreditation as a “School of Excellence.”

For the last two years, our faculty and staff have been working to meet and exceed state and national standards of excellence and quality as reflected in research establishing best practices in early childhood education. Teams of our faculty have participated in both internal program improvement reviews as well as external program reviews. The process culminated in a visit by the State of Maryland Department of Education Validation Team in December which accredited our school with flying colors!

Our thanks and appreciation to all of the teachers at Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center, our Education Committee, and of course our supportive parents for the extra time and efforts dedicated to accomplish this incredible meaningful designation.

We are always look-ing for more time. “How to do twice the work in half the time.” “Simple ways to add hours

to your day.” These are two of the bestselling books on time manage-ment. And there are thousands of others to choose from as you spend your time, looking for ways to have more time to spend. We bemoan our lack of time and then many of us (myself included) fritter away some of the precious time we do have.

This month we actually will have more time as a Leap Day will be added on February 29th. Four years ago I suggested some Jewish things to do with your extra day:

• Making Mishloah Manot by baking your hamatashen and packing bags of treats for friends and neighbors. Purim is almost a month later this year, but hamantashen freeze well.

• Learning one Jewish text about the calendar such as the mishnah about Four New Years

• Inviting a family to your home for a Shabbat meal (you have an extra 24 hours to cook and set the table)

• Choosing an extra mitzvah to do

• Creating an original family ritual for Leap Day and making new memories for your children and grandchildren

• Planting parsley to grow in time for Pesach

Schools & Synagogue Security Under Constant ReviewSee Something – Say SomethingEvents in the nation and the world require our synagogue and schools to continually review our security and emergency plans and measures. Through the Baltimore County Police Department Homeland Security Section, we recently conducted a thorough review of our plans and pro-cedures and are updating our emergency handbook. Thanks to Department of Homeland Security funding, we recently completed numerous facility security enhancements and upgrades particularly in the use of technology to communicate internally with students and staff and externally with law enforcement.

We appreciate your patience when entering the building and showing your ID to our security guard. Please do not let anyone in the building through a door you are exiting from. We continue to request your help and notification if you see something or someone that looks out of place or unusual. Please notify our school heads or our executive director, Glenn Easton.

Our students and staff regularly drill different types of exercises that are im-portant to know in the event of a security or weather emergency – fire/evacuation drills, shelter-in-place drills, emergency lock-down drills. Emergency and evacua-tion instructions on Shabbat and holidays, when it is difficult to drill, are located in the sanctuary pew and literature racks.

Through the Baltimore County Police Department and the national Se-cure Community Network (SCN) our schools and synagogue leadership are regularly informed of security situations or threats, if they were to occur. The Police and SCN then advise which, if any, action is required.

The safety and security of our children, students, members, staff, and guests is a priority of our synagogue and schools. Our thanks to our staff, lay lead-ers, and law enforcement personnel who assist in this important responsibility.

by-laws rEvisions aPProvEdnominating Committee AnnouncedOur thanks to all who came out on a rainy night this past October to help us achieve a quorum and to approve the three new by-laws amendments with over 90% voting in favor of each of the revisions. The amendments created officer positions with portfolio, clarified and slightly reduced the number of board members, and added a dissolution clause required of 501-c-3 nonprofit organizations. The changes to our governance model will continue to bring the Congregation greater transparency, responsive and representative leadership, and efficiency. Our appreciation to the By-Laws Committee chaired by Lee Sherman and comprised of Allison Baumwald, Jason Blavatt, Linda Katz, Shelly Malis, Andy Miller, and Sandy Schreiber.

In accordance with our By-Laws, President Andrew Miller has announced and the board approved the following members to serve on the Nominating Committee: Shelly Malis (Chair), Jeff Snyder, Michelle Clay, Richard Matz, Jenny Gamliel, Ricky Gratz and Leslie Pomerantz. Suggestions for officers or board members may be submitted to any member of the committee or Glenn Easton at the synagogue office. The Nominating Committee is required to present its recommended slate of synagogue leaders at least sixty days prior to our Annual Congregational Meeting on June 6.

mEta & ErnEst oPPEnhEimEr Family EduCation Fund CrEatEd We are pleased to announce the creation of the Meta and Ernest Oppenheimer Family Educa-

tion Fund at Chizuk Amuno Congregation. This exciting new endowment will enhance a core

mission of our congregation to engage our families in meaningful ways. The funds will be used

to help create an annual Family Retreat, robust family Shabbat programming, and expanded

Jewish Parenting Education.

Meta and Ernest Oppenheimer, of blessed memory, were longtime members of Chizuk Amuno.

From the time of their emigration from Germany before the war, Meta’s extended family considered

Chizuk Amuno their spiritual home. Meta and Ernest were married by Rabbi Coblenz and regularly at-

tended Shabbat services. Meta and Ernest were strongly connected to their own families and treated

their nieces and nephews with the affection they might have shared with children of their own.

During her lifetime, Meta demonstrated a personal interest in family programming in her

gifts to Chizuk Amuno and Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center. This new $200,000

endowment provides $10,000 annual income. The congregation will provide matching funds in

support of these efforts which nurture Chizuk Amuno families of all ages.

With this gift, Meta and Ernest’s legacy is now a permanent and enduring part of Chizuk

Amuno Congregation. We are grateful to Florene Goldner, Jody Troy and Larry Goldsmith,

Trustees of the Meta and Ernest Oppenheimer Charitable Foundation, for their support. To

create your own endowment and legacy to the congregation and schools, please contact

Beth Goldsmith, our synagogue Development Chair, KSDS Director of Development,

Alison Wielechowski or Glenn Easton at the synagogue office.

savE thE datEThe Harold and Sybil Effron Memorial Lecture “the Chutzpah imperative: Empowering today’s Jews for a life that Matters” RABBI ED FEINSTEIN TUESDAY, MARCH 22 7:30 P.M.

Join Rabbi Ed Feinstein to explore the heart of Judaism and reconnect with what he calls “The Chutzpah Imperative.” Rabbi Feinstein has been addressing our most difficult questions about Judaism and Jewish life for more than twenty years as a congregational rabbi, Jewish educator, and author. Come meet him and hear his challenging message.

613 & MeCongratulations on your

child’s upcoming Bar and

Bat Mitzvah. We are ex-

cited to be a part of this

lifecycle moment for your

family. 613 is the number of command-

ments in the Torah and over the course

of the next few years we will help your

family extend your personal connection

to Judaism and to the mitzvot

(commandments.)

The three main goals of 613 & Me are:

1. to give you and your child the skills

they will need to become an adult

member of the community,

2. to assist your whole family in feeling

more comfortable in the synagogue

and with the synagogue service,

and

3. to get to know you better and have

you get to know all the members of

our B’nei Mitzvah team.

Our Bar/Bat Mitzvah families represent

the incredible diversity of our larger

Chizuk Amuno community and we are

sensitive to the many different family sit-

uations and faith communities represent-

ed. It is our intention to help craft a Bar/

Bat Mitzvah experience and service that

reflects your child and your family.

613 & Me is a series of programs, class-

es, and experiences for students and

parents which take place during your

child’s fifth and sixth grade years.

uPComing Program: “it’s a Service”SATURDAY, MARCH 5 AT 9:30AM

Sixth graders and their parents enjoy

services together with the congregation

in the Main Sanctuary to become more

familiar with the Shabbat morning Bar/

Bat Mitzvah experience.

EngagE in JeWISH LIFe

Even without doing a Jewish thing on Leap Day, the notion of added time is still a very Jewish idea. There is a concept known as tosefet Shabbat, which requires adding some time on to the beginning of Shabbat and some time on to the end of Shabbat. It is one reason that we light candles 15-20 minutes before sundown and end Shabbat with Havdalah 15 minutes after sundown. We add time to Shabbat not only to “make a fence around the Shabbat” but perhaps more importantly to show how dear and beloved the sanctified time of Shabbat is to us. From a Jewish perspective, time is not something to be rushed through or discarded as quickly as possible; rather it is savored and held lovingly.

Ideally, all our time is sacred and while Shabbat and festivals might be especially el-evated, we are not in the business of wishing our time away. Those additional moments of Shabbat come to symbolize the way that we as Jews seek to extend the joy of our experiences.

In February we are lucky enough to have not only Leap Day on the secular calendar but also Leap Month on the Jewish calen-dar as well. An additional month of Adar is added to right the seasons and timing of our festivals. Technical reasons aside, what it means is an extra month of happiness for us.

My hope is that in February and Adar we all find opportunities to spend the extra minutes and days wisely and to extend the joy with time that is savored as precious.

Adar Sameyach and Happy Leap Day!

a FaCEliFt For Ksds administrativE oFFiCEsAs students, parents, and faculty returned to Krieger Schechter in August to begin the 15-16 school year, they were welcomed back with a new admission and outreach executive suite. Under the leadership of Rabbi Moshe Schwartz, new head of school at KSDS, the admissions, marketing, and development offices of outreach and engagement were relocated in the same suite on the first floor of our building. This new move provided a welcoming presence for prospective families and a convenient center for organizational outreach and development.

From day one this move proved to be a success. The new setup received rave reviews from faculty and parents. The next step was to refurbish the suite to be more up-to-date and welcoming. Michael Kuntz, KSDS alumni parent and Senior Vice President of American Office, graciously donated all of the new furniture in the suite. He appreciat-ed the superb education that his daughters, Kendall and Taylor, received at KSDS, and he wants to see KSDS continue to achieve success. The Kuntz family are long-time members of CAC. Tammy Heyman, an alumni parent, CAC member, and account executive at Ameri-can office, donated her time and professional skills to rearrange the space, choose the color palette, and help pick out the paint and carpet colors.

As families and faculty return back from winter break, they can enjoy the new and mod-ern admission and outreach center provided by American Office. The redesign of this new space provides a warm and welcoming feel for prospective families as they get their first glimpse into KSDS and also, locates important offices of the school in one, convenient location.

We invite you to come by and take a look!

what voluntEEring mEans to mEby Dorothy Gold

Volunteerism has always been an important part of my life,

something I tried to instill in my children and something I

share with my husband. We have incorporated it on occasion

into family activity and even travel. It was our volunteer ex-

perience in Ashkelon several years ago that got me involved

in the Jewish Volunteer Connection (JVC). I am now in my

second year on their board. I have become more mindful

of volunteering and rather than looking at it as something

I might do, I see it as something I do. It is part of my being,

whether it is participation in Good Deed Day, Community

Mitzvah Day, or looking to incorporate Party with a Purpose

in a family simhah we are planning. On Community Mitzvah

Day this past December, it was not a question of should I par-

ticipate but rather what would I do. I served as part of a roving

photo booth with my husband, Jim, taking pictures and giving participants a reminder of their

volunteer experience. It was fun. It felt good. We were part of a giving community. Volunteering is

and should be fun and, even more so, rewarding. It takes you out of your comfort zone and takes

you into a new and meaningful social experience. Hopefully, by making the volunteer experience

more fun for the participants on Community Mitzvah Day, they, too, will become more mindful of

volunteer experiences around them. And that, too, is making a difference.
