Two Jewish community leaders and the leadership of the state of Pennsylvania will be honored by the Jewish Federation this year at its annual meeting on June 14.

Eric Fels, chairman of the Federations Community Rela-tions Council, former president of Congregation Keneseth Israel and nominee for the next president of the Jewish Day School, will receive this years George Feldman Achievement Award for Young Leadership. The award recognizes the finest of our communitys emerging volunteer leadership and recent winners have included Robby Wax, Nicole Rosenthal, Iris Epstein and Frank and Tama Tamarkin.

I can think of no one who

better epitomizes a well-rounded young Jewish leader than Dr. Fels, Rabbi Seth Philips of Con-gregation Keneseth Israel said in his nomination for Fels. As president of Congregation Ken-eseth Israel, he literally saved the congregation from self-destruct-ing and closing. He is intimately involved with Jewish education, both for his own children and now at the Jewish Day School. As a non-parent board member, he brings an unmatched perspective and enthusiasm.

Bob Wilson, second-time president of the Federations Maimonides Society and past campaign chairman, will be this years recipient of the Pomerantz Award for Campaign Excellence.

Bob demonstrates a strong desire to work on our annual campaign and is always ready to reach out to others for their support, said Jeri Zimmerman, assistant executive director of the Federation. He was a tremen-dous asset to our 2016 campaign and is helping to make a dif-ference in the Lehigh Valley, in Israel and around the world.

Wilson also helped this year to secure sponsorships for the Maimonides Societys 30th an-niversary gala.

The Mortimer S. Schiff Award for Prejudice Reduction this year will go to the Pennsylvania General Assembly for its work on the Holocaust Education Bill, which passed unanimously in the

House and Senate in 2014 and is currently being implemented across the state.

The law encourages schools to teach their students about the Holocaust, genocide and human rights violations. It directs the state to develop a curriculum, distribute the curriculum to all school districts, train teachers to teach the subject effectively and assess schools use of these resources. If a certain number of schools are not voluntarily participating in the program, the curriculum may become a mandate.

The Pennsylvania General Assembly has done what only it can do in terms of blanketing the state with the goal that all of the students will be exposed not just to the history of the Holocaust, but to the lessons of morality that emanate from the Holocaust, said Mark L. Goldstein, executive director of the Jewish Federa-

tion. The goal is not to teach the Holocaust, the goal is to promote prejudice reduction and toler-ance, and thats what the Schiff award stands for.

The Federation will also elect its new board and a full slate of officers and honorary officers at the annual meeting. Mark H. Scoblionko has been nominated for a third year as president.

Yaron Sideman, consul gen-eral to Israel for the mid-Atlantic region, will pay his last official visit to the Lehigh Valley before the Philadelphia consulates closure in August (see story on page 6).

The Jewish Federations annual meeting will be held Tuesday, June 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the JCC of the Le-high Valley. There will be heavy hors doeuvres and an open bar and it is free and open to everyone. Please RSVP to 610-821-5500 or mailbox@jflv.org.

Though he is currently living in Philadelphia, by way most recently of Tampa, and serving as the president and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health, Dr. Steve Klaskos ties to the Lehigh Valley run deep.

His older brother attended Lehigh University and invited him to a fraternity party there. I knew nothing about colleges or universities, but I really liked that fraternity party, he said. He applied early decision to Lehigh and graduated in 1974.

After attending medical school at Hahnemann University in Philly, he married a nice Jew-ish girl from York and decided to apply to the residency pro-gram at what was then Allen-town Hospital. After his residen-cy, he started a private OBGYN practice in Allentown, delivering over 2,000 babies in the Lehigh Valley area from 1982 to 1991.

Just as Klaskos practice was really taking off, a group of lo-cal Jewish doctors were coming together to form a society that would come to be modeled across the country.

I made the mistake of com-plaining about something about

the Jewish Federation, said Klasko during a recent interview. I opened my big mouth [and] they did the worst thing they could possibly do to somebody whining and said lets get you involved.

Klasko was asked to become the first president of the Mai-monides Society of the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley.

He will speak at the societys 30th anniversary celebration on June 9.

Steve was always full of energy, enthusiasm, vision and good ideas, characteristics that proved most helpful in leading our Maimonides Society, said Dr. Larry Levitt, one of the soci-etys founders.

Around 1992, Klasko became the program director of the OB-GYN Department at Lehigh Val-ley Hospital. He had also started to build up his academic resume.

In the 1980s, he said, 97 percent of OBGYNs were male and the number one procedure performed was a hysterectomy.

I happened to be at a Penn Sate lecture where a very, very old professor of OBGYN was talking about hysterectomy, Klasko said. He was saying re-moving the uterus is no big deal, its like taking out an appendix.

Soon after, he came across several books in Barnes & Noble about how hysterectomies had impacted womens lives. It was like the first time you realize your parents may have lied to

you, he said. He did some of his early work about how to avoid hysterectomies.

INSIDE:KEEP KIDS ACTIVE THIS SUMMERTAME THOSE TRESSES

JUNE/JULY 2015

During my years in St. Louis working for that Jewish Fed-eration, I taught a seminar at the Washington University George Warren Brown School of Social Work and the Olin School of Business on non-profit management. Most of the MBA students had little knowledge of the nonprofit world. They were challenged to intellectually understand that nonprofit work, with little-to-no cost of goods, was actually product driven.

We dont count our work on the number of widgets we produce each year or our ability to make those widgets for a lower cost. We do count our work on the number of lives we impact: the teens who go to Israel and have an enriched Jewish experience; the graduates of our Jewish Day School or synagogue confirmation classes; the adults who learn Hebrew; the families being assisted at the JFS food pantry; the elderly in Eastern Europe who are assisted with meals and social programs at the local Chesed Centers; the college students exploring their own Jewish identity; the efforts to combat the BDS movement; the young children who read Jewish-themed books from PJ Library with their parents and siblings; and the JCC day campers, or those who go to Jewish resident camps, who celebrate Jewish program-ming and learning without even realizing it.

But key to the products we produce are those who do the work. As I write, we are in the middle of our annual Allocations process, so I am quite familiar with lots of budgets. All of our beneficiaries have occupancy expenses, IT costs and office consumables. But the majori-ty of every budget, averaging 60 to 80 percent, is personnel. And this is across the board in the Jewish community. We do what we do because of the staff engaged by our Federa-tion, our agencies, our syna-gogues and our programs. We do what we do because of the quality staff engaged to enhance Jewish life in our community.

At the risk of minimizing the role of volunteers and board members which I definitely do not intend a tremendous amount of credit is due to the wonderful pro-fessionals employed by our Jewish communal agencies: rabbis; cantors; supplementa-ry school teachers; synagogue administrators; program directors; Jewish family life educators; office and admin-istrative staff; day care staff; counselors and therapists; case managers; day school teachers; principals, heads of school, and executive direc-tors; bookkeepers and CFOs, cafeteria staff; facility mainte-nance staff; health and fitness professionals; fundraisers; programmers; and caring and patient professionals

who work with our emotion-ally challenged children, our skeptical teens, our precious preschoolers and our fragile elderly.

Jewish communal profes-sionals chose this profession for a myriad of reasons: pas-sion, drive, a calling, a job, a career. Most I for one stay in this profession for one reason: to make a difference. Jewish and non-Jewish staff, alike, speak with pride about working for organizations which make a difference and have an impact.

Our wonderful staff seek to improve the quality of Jewish life, strengthen our communities and impact change, working long hours in a challenging profession with rules that constantly change in communities and organizations that sometimes do and sometimes dont. We work days and evenings, weekdays and weekends, tar-geting our efforts to strength-en Jewish life. We work for a constituency that demands nothing short of excellence.

I have not worked outside of the Jewish community since I was a team leader at Baskin Robbins during my high school 10th grade year. I transitioned to an after-school job at the Nashville Jewish Community Center and have never looked back. And I have had no regrets. I am immensely proud of my profession, a feeling rein-forced daily as I observe and

interact with Jewish com-munal professionals through-out the Lehigh Valley. The employees of our agencies are immensely competent and caring.

As this school, program and campaign year is draw-ing to a close, take a moment to marvel in the awesome work of Lehigh Valley Jewish communal professionals who help make our community so special. Let them know you respect their commitment and value their efforts.

The Talmud (Baba Batra 9a) teaches us that one who causes others to do is greater than one who does. For it is said, the work of righteous-ness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness shall

be calm and confidence forever.

This idea is fairly straight-forward: There are people who do good, and there are people who cause others to do good. The former are praiseworthy, but the latter are exemplary.

By Sara VigneriSpecial to HAKOL

In 2012, Yaron Sideman came to the U.S. with his wife and child to serve as the Israeli Con-sul General for our region. Four years later, his tenure completed, Sideman is heading back home to Rechovot, Israel, with two children and leaving behind a host of partnerships that he created here in the Valley.

With Sidemans departure, the region is not only saying goodbye to a consul general dedi-cated to the Lehigh Valley; we are also saying goodbye to the Philadelphia consulate, which closes permanently in August.

When Sideman first started in this position, he met with the mayors of Easton and Allentown and made a commitment to bring Israeli culture and ideas to the Lehigh Valley community. And, in fact, numerous Israeli artists traveled to the Valley to work with college faculty and students at Muhlenberg and Lehigh. There were film fes-tivals and master classes, performances and lec-tures. There was also an exchange of knowledge and ideas in the areas of technology and business including a visit by Israeli-based company BIRD Aerosystems to meet with Air Products, which also has a facility in Israel, to discuss water tech-nology.

Before Sideman heads home, he plans on making a stop in Allentown to say farewell to the Lehigh Valley. He will be the featured speaker at the Jewish Federations Community Celebration & Annual Meeting on Tuesday, June 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the JCC. It is free and open to the public.

I wanted to thank the community and Fed-eration for being such a strong, committed, pro-Israel community and for being such dear close friends and allies, particularly for this consulate, for so long, Sideman said.

The consulate is in the business of building relationships, Sideman said, and he said the relationship that has developed over the years between the Lehigh Valley Federation and the Israeli Consulate in Philadelphia is especially strong. Our number one task at hand, Sideman said, was to have these two centers of Jewish life engage in an honest and open dialogue.

With that in mind, Sideman plans to ensure that our new consulate partner in New York will be just as committed to fostering this relationship and maintaining the dialogue. We will have a

transition process, but I can assure you that the consulate in New York will cover this region just as effectively, he said. Its in everyones interest to make sure we have a smooth transition.

The New York consulate has plenty of resources to make sure all the relationships the Philadelphia consulate forged will continue and that new ones will be created, assured Sideman.

And while Sideman is sentimental about leav-ing the U.S., he is also excited to get back home, where he will commute to Jerusalem to work for the foreign ministry. He hopes the legacy of his tenure is that the consulate did more than just represent Israel to our region. I hope we can be seen as being part of the region, that we immersed ourselves in it and were part of the dy-namic of the Lehigh Valley, he said. In my time here, weve developed solid relationships and I couldnt be more grateful for this partnership.

Israeli Consul General to make final appearance in Allentown

In 1994, he got tired of listen-ing to all these neurosurgeons whining about the business of medicine and started in the MBA program at the Wharton School of Business at the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania.

While attending Wharton, he also became the interim chair of the OBGYN Department at Lehigh Valley and later the chair. After he graduated from Whar-ton in 1996, he helped form the Lehigh Valley Physician Group and served as its first chair.

In 1999, Klasko had just writ-ten a book called The Phantom Stethoscope, a parody of the things that are not taught in medical school, when he was recruited by the Drexel Univer-sity College of Medicine. From 2000 to 2004, he served a variety of positions including dean of the College of Medicine, professor of OBGYN and CEO of Drexel University Physicians.

In 2004, he joined the Univer-sity of South Florida as dean of the College of Medicine and vice president of the USF Health Sci-ences Center.

While at USF, he collaborated with Dr. Elliot Sussman, his good friend and then-CEO of Lehigh Valley Health Network, to create the SELECT Program by which medical students are chosen on quantitative emo-tional intelligence parameters.

Because of this partnership, he also served on the Lehigh Valley Health Network board.

When he was brought back to Philadelphia in 2013 for his current position at Jefferson University, he had to give up his seat on the LVHN board, but now he serves on the board of Lehigh University. I cant get away from the Lehigh Valley, he said.

At the Maimonides Society gala, Klasko will focus his talks on his just-released new book, We CAN Fix Healthcare: The Future is NOW.

Like his previous book, which used the premise of an alien abduction to talk about what is wrong with healthcare, this book also has a science fiction spin.

The concept behind it is Presi-dent Obama gives it one last shot and brings everyone involved in healthcare together and says lets figure it out, Klasko said. The stakeholders do what they do best and start blaming everyone else for what is wrong. Then theres a science fiction event with black-out and vapor and all we can do is look in the mirror, he said.

The free community program with Dr. Klasko to celebrate the Maimonides Societys 30th anniver-sary will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the JCC. To RSVP, call 610-821-5500, email mailbox@jflv.org or visit www.jewishlehighvalley.org/gala30.
