לאֹ בַשָּׁמַיִם הִוא...כִּי-קָרוֹב אֵלֶיךָ הַדָּבָר, מְאֹד: בְּפִיךָ וּבִלְבָבְךָ

It [Torah] is not in heaven...but it’s word is very close to you: In your mouth and in your heart. (Deuteronomy 30:12-14)

Shavuot is that time during which we celebrate matan Torah, or God’s giving of the Torah to the Jew-ish people at Mt. Sinai. The Torah, as our tradition understands it, is not merely a written text which relays the stories of our ances-tors and provides a legal framework for engaging with society and the world around us. The rabbis of old describe God look-ing into the Torah prior to creating the world in the same way an architect builds a structure only after studying its blueprint. The Torah offers a window into the very foundation of Creation itself; a glimpse into the depths of wisdom and understanding that can be made available to us if we choose to observe.

Of course, wisdom and understanding cannot exist independent of the human mind. It is our search for meaning that provides context to our world and it is at the intersection between under-standing and meaning where wisdom can be found. And so it is amongst humanity that Torah, which serves as a bridge between all three, must reside and for this reason it was given over to the Jewish people who were subsequently tasked with shining its light throughout the world.

Torah is not simply an object like an instruction manual which we are meant to read and apply, but it is very much a living document; it is a subject with which we are to enter into relationship. As with any relationship, both parties must necessarily experience change and development as a result of the relational experience.

This is precisely the message that has consistently been taught by the rabbis throughout Jewish history when they tell us that though the Torah was given once, it must be received anew in every gen-eration. Each generation much look into the Torah with its own eyes, from the context of its own world and extract from it mean-ing and understanding. The wisdom which results will be speak differently to each generation and will add new layers to the tap-estry of Torah.

What therefore is our Torah?

One way we can answer this question is to listen to the Torah emanating from the hearts of our movement’s most gifted rabbis, cantors and scholars. Conservative Judaism is an approach to Jew-ish living which was born out of and is reflective of the modern experience and therefore offers a unique voice into the Torah of our generation.

This Shavuot you are invited to join a world-wide Tikkun Leil Shavuot and study with our greatest minds.

From noon on Sunday, May 16, (candle-lighting time in Jerusa-lem) through noon on Monday, May 17, which takes us into the morning on the West Coast, a wide variety of topics, teachers and experiences will be offered from across the world. A sampling of presenters and topics, and links to the full schedule and viewing login are printed on the back page of this Bulletin.

Additionally, we will gather as a Beth Sholom community, just prior to the start of Shavuot on Sunday, May 16, at 6:30 pm to reflect upon what it means to make Torah our own.

I hope you are able to join with us here at Beth Sholom and with Jews throughout the world in receiving Torah anew this Shavuot.

On Thursday May 20, 2021, we will hold the annual Congregational meet-ing via Zoom starting at 7pm. Look for a letter with further details, but I want to highlight one important thing we will discuss. In addition to reviewing the annual budgets, reviewing and voting on a small change to the By-laws, and vot-ing for new Board of Trustee members, we will have a “Come to Moses” conver-

sation about dues. vs. bingo vs. other fundraising.

As you all know, during most of this past year, Beth Sholom has lived without bingo. As you will see from the current year’s budget as well as the proposed 2021-2022 budget, despite generous dona-tions by congregants and PPP loans, the congregational budget is in the red and will remain that way. Thankfully we have some savings to draw on, but we can’t count on that forever. For over two decades, we have relied on bingo and a few bingo workers, in particular Janet Potash and Marcia Newfeld, to keep our congre-gation financially afloat. This past year has made that even more apparent. We plan to reopen bingo on May 30, albeit limited to allow for the 6-foot distance requirement, and restricted to one day/week (usually Sundays). However, our bingo income will be limited; we’re expecting about half of normal. Further, in order to continue bingo, we must have new volunteers. Neither Janet nor Marcia are willing to run bingo every single week as they have for years. We need at least one, or better two, volunteers to step up to run bingo once/month (contact me or Janet for what this entails). In addition, our regular volunteers are aging, and unwill-ing or unable to volunteer as frequently as in the past. We need every family in our congregation to volunteer just 2 hours/month at a single bingo (more is always appreciated). If we all pitch in, the workload will be more manageable for everyone.

But that won’t close our budget gap. The proposed budget for 2021-2022 has a small (2.5%) increase in dues built in. We also included a very large donation push in next year’s budget. Without nearly dou-bling dues, or having a massive, successful fundraiser, or restarting bingo twice weekly, we simply cannot meet our obligations.

Therefore, at the congregational meeting we would like to hear from you. If you would like to speak, please prepare to talk for no more than 1-2 minutes (you will be cut off at 2 minutes). If you prefer, you can send me your thoughts in advance or after the meeting, and we will share them with everyone. The way forward is complicated, and we need everyone’s opinion and input.


From the Executive Director - Shabbat This Month in History

ROB ALLEN | [email protected]

It always amazes me that historical events often reflect the season in which they take place. Our Shabbatot this month truly exemplify that. Spring has come at last and the time has arrived for us to come together, respect the difficul-ties of a dark winter and forge ahead to new and brighter beginnings. Here are a few Jewish historical events that took place on the dates of each Shabbat this

month, that point the way toward a sunnier tomorrow.

Shabbat May 1 / 19 Iyar On this first day of May in 1943, the British-India passenger liner SS Erin-pura was sunk by German war planes en route to Malta. The ship was being used as a troop transport and was carrying 140 Palestinian Jewish soldiers serving in the British Army at the time it was attacked. It was part of a convoy of three other British India ships and twenty other merchantmen escorted by eleven warships. The convoy was attacked thirty miles north of Benghazi and the Erinpura sank in the Mediterranean within four minutes of being hit. In addition to the loss of the Jewish soldiers, two junior engineers, 54 Indian seamen, three gunners and 600 Basuto pioneer troops were lost when the ship was sunk. There is a monument in the shape of ship on Mount Herzl as a memorial to the Jewish soldiers who drowned aboard the SS Erinpura, con-taining the names of the fallen who are remembered at a special ceremony every year on Yom HaShoah.

Shabbat May 8 / 26 IyarIn Israel, on this Hebrew date in 1967, the Six-Day War with Egypt, Jordan and Syria began after the mobilization of Arab troops on its borders caused the Israeli air force to launch a preemp-tive air strike in Egypt which destroyed more than 90 percent of the Egyp-tian air force on the ground. By day 2 of the fighting, Israeli forces had driven Jordanian forces out of East Jerusalem and most of the West Bank, forever changing the Israeli landscape with the capture of the Old City of Jerusalem. Within three days, the Israelis had achieved an overwhelming victory on the ground, capturing the Gaza Strip and all of the Sinai Peninsula up to the east bank of the Suez Canal. By the time the UN Security Council was able to broker a cease-fire agreement after 6 days, the losses by the Arab countries involved in the conflict were disastrous. And, while the Arab armies suf-fered a crippling defeat, Israel had proven its military strength.

Shabbat May 15 / 4 Sivan So, what does the founding of the city of Las Vegas on May 15, 1905 have to do with anything Jewish? Well, a big fac-tor in the history of Las Vegas had to do with the fact it was a home for the “Mob,” many of whom were Jewish. In fact, one of our staff members (we won’t tell you who) is actually a distant relative of mobster Bugsy Siegel, who was instrumental in the development of the Flamingo Hotel and the Las Vegas Strip. Jews first arrived in southern Nevada in 1850, attracted by the discovery of gold in Carson City in the northern part of the state. Las Vegas is now one of the fastest-growing Jewish communities in North America, and is home to approximately 100,000 Jewish residents with 11 synagogues, 3 Chabads and 11 kosher restaurants. Jews continue to feature prominently in the Las Vegas scene, both as part of the entertainment industry, commerce and in public service .

Shabbat May 22 / 11 Sivan On this Hebrew date (11 Sivan), In 1924, the modern Israeli town of Bnei Brak (“Sons of Lightning”) was founded by Hasidic Polish immigrants just notheast of Tel Aviv. The ancient town of Bnei Brak, presumed to have been located near the modern town, is known as a center of Talmudic scholarship, and was home to the famed 20th century sages, the Chazon Ish and Rabbi Elazar M. Shach of the Ponevitch Yeshiva. Bnei Brak is mentioned in the Bible (Joshua 19:45), and is famous in the Passover Haggadah as the site of the all-night Seder of Rabbi Akiva and his colleagues. Nearly 200-thousand people currently reside in Bnei Brak.

Shabbat May 29 / 18 SivanMay 29, 1942 may have been the record-ing date of the 100-million copy seller “White Christmas” by singer and actor Bing Crosby, but the actual song was written by Jewish American composer and lyricist Irving Berlin. Berlin wrote hundreds of songs during his 60-year career, many becoming major hits, which made him famous before he turned thirty. He wrote an esti-mated 1,500 songs, including the scores for 20 original Broadway shows and 15 original Hollywood films, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards. Berlin’s songs have reached the top of the charts 25 times and have been extensively re-recorded by numerous singers including current-day musical artists Bar-bra Streisand, Cher, Diana Ross, Jerry Garcia, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Michael Buble, Lady Gaga, and Christina Aguilera. Berlin died in 1989 at the age of 101.


Rosh Chodesh GroupThe first day of each Jewish month, the celebration of the new moon, is a day historically related to women’s renewal and celebration. As the moon prepares to make its reemergence into the night sky, we prepare ourselves to be spiritually attuned and awakened to its light and its power. We give our-selves the gift of tuning into our own

power as we appreciate and celebrate the moments of each month that are significant and meaningful to us as Jewish women.

Join us every month as we gather for learning, ritual, and spiritual exploration to celebrate Rosh Chodesh with Cantor Shulie!

This month’s gathering will take place at 12:30 pm, Thursday, May 13, on Zoom.

Healing Through MusicMusic therapy is a burgeoning field. Those who become professionals in this field have deep knowledge of how music can evoke emotional responses to relax or stimulate people or help them heal. Cantors and sacred music spiritual leaders are also trained in this type of music knowledge and skill. A growing body of research attests that music therapy can improve medical outcomes and quality of life in a variety of ways.

Join the Beth Sholom community for a special afternoon of heal-ing music with Cantor Shulie. “Healing Through Music: An Inner Journey of Reflection,” will offer a soulful approach to coping with and healing from our struggles and hardships that we’ve faced over the course of this year. The program hopes to be a respite from all of that, providing the gift of song and music as a healing modality for the soul. This experience is a permission slip for the self, allowing participants to melt into the melodies that will be presented and explored, as a means of filling our cup back up with hope and healing.

Join us on May 30, at 1pm. Zoom link details to follow.

Upcoming Programs

Book ClubOur next meeting will be on June 27, at 3 pm. For the past two meetings, only two members joined us. We must increase member partici-pation. We only have one more meeting before our summer break. If more people don’t join us virtually, we may need to suspend our meetings until we can meet in person at the synagogue. It is something to think about.

Our next book is highly rated. It is Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times, by the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks.

Struggling to make sense of the modern world? This is the book for you. It is a thought- provoking and timely book. Rabbi Jona-than Sacks was one of the most admired religious thinkers of our times. Rabbi Sacks offers anecdotes along with Jewish wisdom to show the importance of restoring morality in the world. He traces today’s crisis to a loss of a strong shared moral code and our elevation of self-interest over the common good. The Rabbi leads readers from Ancient Greece to the present day, to show that there is “no liberty without morality and no freedom without responsi-bility.” He believes that all of us must play our part in rebuilding our common moral foundation and rediscover what we have in common despite our differences.

The book is an inspiring vision of a world in which we can all find our place and face the future without fear. There is plenty to dis-cuss. Please join the meeting, even if you don’t have time to read the book. We would love to see you.

Save the DatesSunday June 6 at 1:00 pm--Elly Waller, Senior Guide at Neot Kedumim, the Biblical Landscape Reserve in Israel, will give us a guided tour via Zoom. In addition to providing a place where the biblical landscape has been re-created, the park has also received international recognition as a model of restoration ecology. You won’t want to miss this unique presentation!

Monday June 7 at 7:30 pm--Maryland Delegate Karen Lewis Young will share highlights from the legislative ses-sion that just ended and also some of her perspectives as a Jewish member of the assembly. This is a great way to become better informed about what’s happening in the Maryland Statehouse during these unusual times.


Some of you may already know us, Jeff and Laurie Hoffman. We’re Cantor Shu-lie Hersh’s parents, and Rabbi Jordan Hersh’s in-laws, and of course Ziv and Edden’s Saba and Savta!

We decided to move from New York to Frederick to be close to kids and grand-kids. Jeff teaches at the Academy for Jewish Religion (where he just retired from the

Administration), the Aleph Ordination Program, and will be teaching at Hebrew Union College in the fall — all on Zoom. He was a pulpit rabbi for 23 years, and is enjoying teaching, working on his book — a commentary on the Siddur, and walking in Baker Park while listening to rock ‘n roll on his headphones. Laurie had a long run as a Jewish educator, including administration of the Center for Jewish Education in Rockland County, NY. She now enjoys working with people to improve and maintain their health and wellbeing through Homeopathic medicine. We are so happy to be here in Frederick and look forward to getting to know the Jewish community.
