A Message From the Cantor

If you were in our Sanctuary celebrating Shabbat on the morning of June 5th, you were lucky to be part of something very special. Yes, it was Shabbat morning, which is already something to celebrate. And yes, there was a Bat Mitzvah, which is doubly something for our community to celebrate. But this was not the typical Bat Mitzvah of a thirteen year-old girl. That morning, after nearly two years of dedicated preparation and study, six

women in our community became B’not Mitzvah. Certainly it was special moment for the six women who stood on the Bima that morning. Each of these women is unique and came to the class with her own experiences, Judaic skills, learning style, etc. But on that morning they all read Torah and Haftarah, led part of the service, taught the congregation through insights into the liturgy and divrei Torah. And they came together to offer a class gift to our congregation: they donated money to have a sofer (scribe) evaluate our Torah scrolls, the first step towards restoring those most valuable possessions of our community. In her D’var Torah on the story of the spies sent to scout the land of Canaan, Ronny Sydney wondered, “What if we (the six b’not mitzvah) had been among the scouts? Would things have been different? Diane Rosen would have brought her compassionate social work skills and showed how everyone could get along and support each other. Hilda Lopez would certainly understand how to bridge a cultural gap and how to be strengthened by our differences. Donna Rubenoff could teach us all how to relax and meditate and also how to organize everyone. Cassandra Warshowsky would bring her wonderful strength and energy to pull everyone together. Shelley Schwartz would have made sure that the message was on point and well publicized. I would have used my persuasive skills to make sure that we were all in agreement.”

Clearly the class gift is not the only gift that these women offer to our congregation. After the service, countless members of our congregation told me how moving they found the service to be: not only for the six women, but for our entire community. These women are examples of how we can each be dedicated to Judaism and to our community, and how we can benefit personally and as a sacred community. And what if more of us were like these women? How much might we enhance our own lives as well as that of Ohabei Shalom? Kein Y’hi Ratzon. May it be God’s will.

Worship President’s Remarks: Annual Meeting June 1, 2010 Good evening everyone. I am very honored and excited to serve as your next President. First, let me on behalf of the entire congregation give our sincerest thanks and accolades to Jesse and to all board members whose terms have now been completed. We all owe you a deep debt of gratitude for not only leading us through some very challenging times, but also by leaving us with a wonderful and positive foundation upon which to build. I’d also like to thank Rabbi Franken, Cantor Schloss and the entire staff for being there not only for me, but for the entire congregation. As I sat home Saturday evening wondering what I would say tonight, I finally drew my inspiration from our mission statement and how it relates to last week’s Parashah, Beha’a lotcha. In particular, I want to focus on one word in our mission statement, “sustaining.” - sustaining Jewish lives through joyful worship, lifelong learning, and repair of the world in word and deed. In this Torah portion, the final journey, with all its challenges, begins for the Jewish people on their trek through the Sinai desert to their ultimate destination – the Land of Israel. Some want to go back to the good old times in Egypt, some want to stay and pray for more miracles in Sinai, but Moses understands that in order to sustain the Jewish people, they must move forward. Similarly, so must we. While the Israelites did not know exactly what lay ahead, we certainly have a much better idea. Jesse has elaborated on many of the wonderful accomplishments this past year. I’d like to describe a few of the exciting opportunities that will help sustain our future.

1. First is membership. We have a great membership committee that has met throughout this past year and recently attended a URJ workshop. In two weeks, we will meet again with the entire board and engage in a ½ day strategic leadership workshop for membership and outreach. We need your help to be ambassadors of TOS and to continually engage each other and the entire community.

2. Next is our beautiful facility, from which 25% of our income is derived. With our newly renovated facilities, thanks to generous congregants, including in large part Shirley Spero, and a bit of marketing, Ed Jacobs has made a commitment to increase this by an even larger amount.

3. Another opportunity is Fundraising, which I envision to be much more structured and integrative and to better involve the larger Jewish and philanthropic community. 4. Programming will continue to grow under the leadership of Shellee Robins. With just a little bit more of your help, we can have fun, meaningful and revenue generating

programs. 5. Perhaps the boldest initiative and largest area of growth is in the Project for Our Future and the Trust Center for Early Education. This has been an unbelievable effort by so

many people and we should all be so very proud and thankful for these efforts. It is truly the future of our synagogue. In only our second year, we are expecting an operating surplus before debt service. And with the good work of the Gala Committee led by Laura Trust, we are targeted to have a successful event on November 4 and reduce our debt significantly.

With all these opportunities, we also have our challenges. While they don’t compare to those of the Israelites before us, they nonetheless exist and we must not let setbacks be holdbacks. As we sit here this evening, we are a much smaller congregation than we were. Only 33% of our expenses are covered by our basic membership dues. The rest come mainly from rentals, fundraising, and school tuition. While the focus on this coming year will be on revenue generation, we must also structurally address what a congregation of our size really looks like. So, how do we address these challenges including our financial sustainability? During their desert journey, when the Jewish people complained bitterly about their diet of manna, Moses asked God, “Why have you laid the burden of all of this on me?” Moses is then counseled to appoint seventy experienced elders and officers to share leadership. We have likewise been counseled to elect a board of trustees and officers. This is a most sacred duty and one that I pledge to act in the best interests of you, our congregation in sustaining our future. Finally, let me speak to your obligation as a Jew and as a member of this Congregation. During their journey in the desert, the Israelites focus was on preparation for entry into Israel. As one Rabbi commented, the Jews had to be counted, organized, and given their individual responsibilities. Destined to be spread out among all the tribes, they would be the cohesive glue that unified every corner of the land. Israel has truly been served and built by those who came with a sense of mission, purpose, happiness and expectation. They were passionate. Passivity was not an option. We Jews are a people of covenants. In order for us to truly sustain our mission, Jewish lives through joyful worship, lifelong learning, and repair of the world in word and deed, I ask that you pledge your passion and be counted to be the cohesive glue that unifies this congregation and our larger community. Thank you.

S’lichot 2010 - Saturday, September 4; 7:00PM Meditations and Reflections in Word, Song and Movement. Join Rabbi Franken and Cantor Schloss for an evening of exploration of the relationships and issues between human beings and God, and of the High Holiday themes of repentance, atonement, self-examination, confession, pardon and renewal through the lenses of music, dance and poetry.

High Holidays 5771 Friends and Family Program

Dear Congregants: As a result of the overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s ticket policy, Temple Ohabei Shalom will again offer members the opportunity to invite family and friends to High Holy Days services at no cost. This initiative is a thank-you gift to the congregation for continued support in a difficult economic climate, and at the same time it allows us to fill our beautiful Sanctuary and give prospective members a chance to see and hear our dynamic clergy on the bimah. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to spread the word about Temple Ohabei Shalom! If you would like tickets, in addition to the ones that normally come with your membership, please fill out this form and return it to Temple Ohabei Shalom, 1187 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02446, ATT: High Holy Day Tickets. You may also e-mail the information to [email protected]. Checks should be made payable to Temple Ohabei Shalom. Tickets will be available at the synagogue office during normal business hours. If they are not picked up by August 16, they will be mailed. Requests received after August 16 will be available for pickup 30 minutes before each ticketed service. The friends-and-family tickets program is just one of several steps being taken this year to increase Temple Ohabei Shalom’s reach in the greater Boston community. We will also be offering High Holy Days tickets to the general public for the nominal charge of $36. We discovered last year that offering deeply discounted tickets to non-members in the community is a great way to increase awareness of Temple Ohabei Shalom. If you would like to donate to the Temple to help support these programs, your gift would be deeply appreciated. Please include your contribution of any amount when you send in the form for additional tickets. Thank you for helping to make these innovative programs a success. Sincerely, David Brody Executive Director

As we prepare for summer, it is a time for reflection. Our Brother, Jonathan Atkins, has served the Brotherhood as our Co-President for three years, and I want to thank him for his dedication to us and the entire Ohabei Shalom community as he now enters the new role of Immediate Past President. I also want to thank Spence Gould, another past president, for his never-ending support, in particular for his leadership of the Annual Breakfast, as its’ General Chairman. All of our officers, committee chairs and members have given many hours to assisting us, and I want to thank all of them. In May, we held our Annual Spring Breakfast honoring Shirley Spero as the Person of the Year. Dr. Om Ganda, of the Joslin Diabetes Center, spoke to us about Diabetes as part of the Ben Adler Health Awareness Speaker Series; as well as sponsoring the Ben Adler Blood Drive. In June, we had our Annual Meeting and Election of Officers Dinner Meeting, and the following slate was elected by acclamation:

• Louis Goldman President

• Alan Shepro VP Programs

• Howard Koor* VP Membership

• Ed Kahn Treasurer

• Jerry Kravitz Secretary

• Richard Oshry Inspiration Chair

• Hu Caplan Co-Chair Programs

• David Alpert Co-Chair Hospitality

• Craig Greenwald Co-Chair Hospitality

• Harvey Solomon Co-Chair Membership

• Spence Gould* Director-At-Large

• Jonathan Atkins* Immediate Past President *Past President I look forward to working with all of my fellow officers and board members as we move into our new fiscal year. Our next meeting will not be until September 22, 2010 when we will have a combined program for the Installation of our Officers, Sukkot Service and Brotherhood BBQ out back in the Sukkah. The last few years have been difficult for many people. The current recession has touched the lives of everyone, either directly or indirectly. We all need to assist our families and friends in whatever ways possible. Brotherhood is all about helping each other by listening to one another, learning life’s lessons by being part of our Brothers’ lives. Now more than ever, Brotherhood needs your support. We have been fortunate that there were sufficient funds between Brotherhood programming and PENN Trust investment income to support so many important programs at Ohabei Shalom. We were able to provide funding for Mitzvah Day, the Music & Worship Fund, new prayer books, blind scholarships for the Ansin Religious School, the Ben Adler Memorial Health Awareness Speaker Series, the Ben Adler Memorial Blood Drive, and other worthwhile causes. If you wish to contact us, please e-mail us at [email protected]. As always the Brotherhood wishes to thank everyone who has remembered to bring in or mail in their stamped Butcherie receipts. Please continue to support this vital program.

Sisterhood wishes the entire TOS community a peaceful, restful and healthy summer with good weather and happy events. We are grateful to all of you for your support over the past "shul" year - whether you attended specific Sisterhood events such as the concert, movie night with Brotherhood, or Yom Hashoah with the entire community, bought items from the gift shop, made donations to the Betsy Gould Mitzvah Fund, participated in the Rosh Hashanah Honey Drive, went on mitzvah visits, or joined Sisterhood to show your support of our efforts. To those of you in Sisterhood and the synagogue who supported me in my leadership role, there are no words to sufficiently express my appreciation. You know who you are and you know what you have done. Every effort, small or large, contributes to the whole. Every hug, every smile, every good wish has been particularly heartwarming especially this year as we worked together in ways small and large to absorb the devastating loss that we felt with Betsy's passing in September. So I say a simple "thank you" to all of my Sisters, fellow congregants and the staff. And I hope that you will continue to participate and contribute with Sisterhood of TOS during the 2010-2011 synagogue season. For those of you who are not yet members, before you stop reading this article, please take out your planner and mark Monday, September 13, 7 PM, for our annual Welcome Coffee (first night of junior and senior high school). Our guest speaker will be humorist Carol Bortman, EdD, who will wittily address the topic: Sex and Seniors: Upside and Downside. We look forward to a welcome by the clergy and President Weintraub. We will send out our annual Sisterhood mailing in late July and urge all the women of TOS to become members, and to join us as we play together and work together in support of our synagogue. The Sisterhood Board has been working on our calendar and we have a number of exciting events planned. We will continue our small groups, and we hope to organize a few field trips to places of interest in and around Boston. In particular, the weekend of August 8-10, a number of us will attend the Unity Shabbaton sponsored by the Synagogue Council of Massachusetts. It is an annual event of uplifting prayer, learning, music, Kosher food and fellowship. This year the Shabbaton is featuring three rabbis with liberal and orthodox perspectives, and there will be attendees spanning all Jewish denominations. Visit www.synagoguecouncil.org for further information or call me (617-277-3653). I have been attending this event for several years, last year four others from TOS joined me, and hopefully more will attend this year. Men, women and couples are welcome. Our annual Sisterhood Shabbat will take place on the Saturday before Mother's Day next spring. It will be accompanied by an unusual opportunity for each of us to honor our own mothers in a very special way as we compile an anthology of reminiscences about our Moms to go along with our Shabbat program. More about this later, but begin to think of how you would like to honor your mother by sharing a special memory or thought with the community. Funds raised from this effort will go toward refurbishing or replacing our Torah covers as needed.

Community Notices Welcome Philip Bressler, TOS Pararabbinic Fellow!

Philip Bressler is Temple Ohabei Shalom’s Pararabbinic Fellow for 2010-2011. Phil grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota where his passion for Judaism was sparked through active involvement in NFTY and summers spent at URJ Olin-Sang Ruby Union Institute (OSRUI). He attended Washington University in St. Louis, where he received his B.A. in Jewish, Islamic, and Near Eastern Studies in 2006. As an undergraduate, Phil planned and led Jewish activities on campus through Hillel and the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. After graduation he spent time as regional youth advisor for NFTY’s Michigan region, led music programming at Temple Israel Minneapolis’ Camp TEKO, and attended Brandeis University’s program in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies. Phil’s life goal has always been to become a Rabbi and he will be applying to rabbinical schools this fall. As the Pararabbinic Fellow at Temple Ohabei Shalom, Phil will not only be providing administrative support to our clergy, but will also be teaching, leading services, and organizing additional programs to benefit the TOS community. Please join us in welcoming Phil to the Ohabei Shalom community.

Jason Krieger

A Letter from Jason Kriger Dear Clergy, Officers, Trustees and Staff of Temple Ohabei Shalom, To start, I would like to say thank you. Seven years ago, you took me (and Scott Levine) in and made us a part of your community. You gave us a very generous opportunity to start a business, and at the same time help serve the needs of the TOS community. Two and a half years into this experience I started teaching at A.R.S. I felt that if I were going forward here, I needed to be a real part of what’s going on. I can’t tell you what a good decision that was, and how much I have treasured teaching and spending time with all the great students, teachers and parents with whom I have had the pleasure to work. The last five years have also given me a chance to hone my skills in the kitchen. I am a far better cook now than I was in 2003. The Temple events over the years have allowed me to practice, experiment, and learn. As time went by, my cooking improved as well as my confidence, I saw more opportunities come my way and was able to be a part of so many congregant and committee celebrations. This past November, new opportunities arose. I started producing wholesale food items for Star Market/Shaws and my business began to grow. This opportunity has morphed into something I could not have predicted. As my business has grown this year, it has become clear to me that the Temple’s Kitchen is no longer sufficient for the demands of my business and that I no longer have the time to operate Kriger’s Catering. It is with much sadness that I need to inform you of my decision to not renew my contract with the Temple for the next fiscal year. My business will require more refrigerator/freezer space, work space, delivery trucks, etc. I look forward to completing the next few weeks at the Temple and will be moving out of the kitchen by June 30, 2010.

Mazel Tov Jason!

The Temple Ohabei Shalom

Clergy, Staff and Community would like to extend our best wishes for a

wonderful future on your new endeavor!

You will be missed!

It saddens me to be leaving. Temple Ohabei Shalom and its people have become a part of me, and I will always remember the wonderful time I have spent as a member of this community. I would like to thank you again for the opportunity, for putting up with my shpilkus, allowing me to breathe, grow and participate in the life of TOS over the past seven years. With my gratitude and wish for a strong future for TOS, Jason Kriger

Know any Caterer in need of kitchen space? Contact the TOS Office at 617-277-6610 or [email protected] for more information on using TOS’s large and fully equipped kitchen.
