142nd Annual MeetingSunday, June 9 • 4 p.m.

The membership will be asked to approve a change in the congregational bylaws, the Slate of Officers, and nominations to the Board of Trustees.

Please join us as we welcome Glenn S. Easton, our new

Executive Director, to our synagogue community.

Summertime and shul is delightful! Oh how we love Summer Shul with its new tunes, its open collars, its sandals, and its organic communal

feeling. Here is what some of our friends say about Summer Shul:

Rahel Lerner – I love that in the smaller space you can hear the voices of those around you and all sing together.

Dick Manekin – I love the informality, hamisha feel, and participatory davenen of Summer Shul.

Anne Young – Ditto, ditto, ditto.

Allen Holzman – I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

Another unique aspect of Summer Shul is the d’var Torah, given by members of the congregation. This year, in

celebration of Israel’s 65th year we have invited friends from the congregation to share their reflections of Israel. We will hear about their unique experiences as visitors

to Israel, their involvement in issues core to Israel’s identity, and their personal connections to our land.

Come add your voice to Rahel’s, Dick’s, and Anne’s and so many others. Join us for Shabbat morning services on July 6, 13, 20, and 27 in the Krieger Auditorium for joyful davenen and inspiring speakers.

B’Shalom,

Rabbi Debi Wechsler

Summer Shul – Coming to a Shul Near You!

For 18 years, the daily life of our synagogue community has been

loyally directed by Ron Millen. We have all benefited from Ron’s devotion to every aspect of our congregation, blessed by his tireless efforts to

manage, maintain, and support all that happens here.

Ron Millen is caring and devoted to our community because he cares about his Jewish commitments and expression. He focuses his energy on budgets and facilities as well as on religious practice and Jewish education. Deeply rooted in Jewish values and memories, Ron’s service as Chizuk Amuno Congregation’s Executive Director has been a unique blend of business, ritual, learning, and engineering.

We are grateful for all that Ron has accomplished on our behalf and for his meaningful participation as a member of our synagogue family.

As Ron Millen completes his tenure as our Executive Director, we invite you to join us on Shabbat, June 29 to say thank you. Following Shabbat morning services, we will gather for a festive Shabbat luncheon to celebrate Ron’s achievements and express our gratitude. All are welcome as we show our appreciation to Ron and Alita.

Thank You Ron Millen! Shabbat Luncheon CelebrationJune 29, Noon

Join us for Summer Shul at Chizuk Amuno!Shabbat Mornings, 9:15 a.m. July 6, 13, 20, 27 This year, Summer Shul celebrates Israel at 65! We’ll capture the spirit of Shabbat Israeli style, hear thoughts about Israel each week, and add Israeli song to our Shabbat celebration.

Summer Shul will be held in the Krieger Auditorium, creating an intimate and relaxed prayer environment. Synagogue members lead our services, read Torah, and deliver Divrei Torah, supported by Rabbis Shulman and Wechsler, and Hazzan Perlman and Dr. Shualy.

During Summer Shul everyone is encouraged to dress casually and appropriately, for Shabbat Services. Families and friends, adults and children of all ages are most welcome to share in the warm mood of Summer Shul.

Observing Tishah B’Av - The Ninth of Av We will observe Tishah B’Av with prayer and reflection on Monday evening, July 15 at 8:30 p.m. During the Ma’ariv Service for Tishah B’Av we will recite the Bible’s Book of Lamentations, Eikhah.

Tishah B’Av is our calendar’s date of mourning. On the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av we recall tragic events in Jewish history whose legacy have shaped our identity and values. Foremost among the events we remember are the destructions of the two Temples in Jerusalem. The Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in the year 586 BCE. The Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE.

We will also gather in observance of Tishah B’Av on Tuesday morning, July 16 at 7 a.m. A special Minhah service will be held at 1 p.m. At this afternoon service we will wear our Tallit and Tefillin, ritual symbols that we will not use during our Shaharit service in expression of our mourning. Tishah B’Av is a full or partial day of fasting and introspection observed with emotion as we transform trauma into wisdom through ritual.

A s stated in Chizuk Amuno’s Avodah Vision

Statement: Music is central to our services.

This past year, I have served as chair of the Ritual Committee. One of our tasks was to engage in halakhic study and discussion of the use of musical instruments in worship on Shabbat and hagim. Our new policy (endorsed by the Board of Trustees in September 2012) is to provide options for those whose worship experience might be enriched by musical instruments, while continuing to allow congregants who are not comfortable with musical instruments to continue to enjoy the traditional worship experiences.

Last month we introduced our first “New Shabbat” Friday evening service. With more than 130 in attendance, Rabbi Shulman led the service and Hazzan Perlman and Leslie Pomerantz led the singing, with Leslie playing guitar. The ruah, spirit, carried us all through the evening experience as we sang prayers as a community. Everyone participated as we learned new melodies and connected in ways many have not experienced before at Chizuk Amuno. We celebrated Shabbat with a new and refreshed intent. The addition of guitar to voice enhanced the warmth of the evening.

I am delighted to have played a role in this new development at Chizuk Amuno and hope you join us as we create this ruah together at our next New Shabbat service on Friday evening, June 14 at 7:15 p.m., and once again on August 9. After the High Holy Days, New Shabbat will become a regular monthly feature on our synagogue calendar.

Stay tuned for additional announcements and reminders, and please let me know what we can do to make the worship experience at Chizuk Amuno even more meaningful for you and your family.

See you on June 14, Andy Miller
