Congregation B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim I. =·:.: ·.= July 1998 Vol. 4 7 Tammuz 5758 No. I RABBI REACTS... Three very exciting programs at BJBE are moving right along under the name of "Interfaith." Two of the three fall under the auspices of a newly named committee, Kesher Interfaith. Kesher is Hebrew for "connection," and making a kesher with our non-Jewish neighbors is the goal. When we make connections, we educate one another and build relationships. In turn, we break down those barriers that create prejudices against one another. In the first program, we are sharing in a dialogue with the Glenview Community Church. Our small Kesher Interfaith committee and the GCC Interfaith committee have met several times in each other's houses of worship, and set short and long term goals. One Shabbat the GCC group joined the BJBE Saturday Morning Minyan. They asked us questions about Judaism, and the members of the minyan responded in a most informative manner. One Sunday our own Sandee Holleb spoke to the GCC about Israel in honor of its 50th anniversary. She wowed Jews arid Christians alike with her artifacts and charismatic presentation. These are some of the short term goals already achieved. Next on the agenda is a movie and dialogue on Saturday night, July 18, open to all members of the congregation. See the article elsewhere in this bulletin for more details. The second program involves a "trialogue" with GCC and the members of the Islamic Community Center (the Mosque) in Northbrook. Participants in this program, including two teenage leaders, are being trained to lead interfaith dialogue discussions. This training will be open to a new group next year. The third program has been named Interfaith Social Action. Its primary goal is to form a network and communicate with other religious congregati9ns, primarily in Glenview. Interfaith Social Action is now in the process of putting together a resource guide of Social Action activities all the congregations are conducting. A future goal is to plan a project (a group Mitzvah Day?, Christmas in April?, Habitat for Humanity?) in which all the congregations can participate together. Kesher Interfaith and Interfaith Social Action are not limited to the committee members alone. If you are interested in Kesher Interfaith, contact Diane Sachs or Shelley Riskin. If Interfaith Social Action appeals to you, contact Michael Taite) or Renee Friedman. All three of these wonderful interfaith activities are about building a kesher with our neighbors. I hope you'll connect with us. L'shalom, Amy L.

A very successful, spiritual, and peaceful year on the whole. This past month or so, our Congregation has witnessed and participated in several services and ceremonies culminating this year: the SYG shabbat and installation of new officers, Sisterhood shabbat and installation of new officers, Confirmation, with its gift to our congregation of a new eternal light (Ner Tamid) for the portable Ark, our annual meeting, and our Board Installation. Let me begin by speaking about the group of young people in the Senior Youth Group who have inspired us over the past year with the hard work that they have done to make their group strong and viable. This group has been led by Rececca Bishaf, their outgoing president. Rebecca attended almost every board meeting and served as a role model to both our board of trustees and the senior youth group. She was an inspiration to all of us with her enthusiasm, perkiness, and intelligence shown while presenting her information. The evening of their Shabbat services was no exception. Good luck to the newly installed board led by incoming president, Rachael Friedlieb. The senior youth group represents the leadership of tomorrow. I must admit I was overwhelmed by the incoming sisterhood president, Sandie Sklar, who displayed a wonderful command of Hebrew while chanting from the Torah. Each year the Sisterhood proves over and over again how invaluable they are as part of this wonderful congregation. As I watched the women participate in the service and installation, I fully realized that we are blessed by so ·much talent. While the women were repeating the Shema, I silently said a Shehechyanu for all of the women. Good luck to them all in the coming year under the guidance of Sandie Sklar. At Erev Shavuot Confirmation services, we were fortunate to have 24 young adults who committed themselves to Judaism. These young men and women have persevered thru many years of study in their quest of a Jewish education. It was inspirational to see and hear them as they came forward to the Bima. I hope these young congregants remember this evening and carry this memory to their children and beyond so that it will inspire many more young adults to be confirmed. Our annual meeting on June 3 proved to be enlightening in many ways as Rabbi Shapiro, Terri Argentar, Rebecca Bishaf and myself all highlighted the happenings and events of the past year. These presentations showed why we are a unique institution among all the temples in the area. The annual meeting is held so that each congregant can feel ownership in the temple and have the opportunity to meet the Board and Officers. Finally, the installation of the Temple Board was held June 12. It was a wonderful evening to showcase the many volunteers who have taken upon themselves the task of ensuring that our temple continues in its leadersh ip position. The services were inspiring as once again the Philharmonic ensemble did a magnificent job in bringing us beautiful music. Thank you to all who participated and to those who Jed the board over the past year. Marty Salomon SOCIAL ACTION ..• The more things change, the more they stay the same. I've taken the position of Social Action Chairperson for the 3rd time in 20 years(/ must be older than I thought). The problems of the world in 1978, war, drugs, poverty, political chicanery, and social unrest have been recycled. War today takes place on school playgrounds with kids shooting other kids, drugs remain but it's not my teenagers, the disadvantaged still wait for our bagged lunches, politics revolve around Monica Lewinsky, gender and color biases still exist. Once I thought I could change the world. Now I realize I can only place appropriate band-aids, plug a few leaks, and motivate people to do the same. Oprah is marketing volunteerism ... we've done it as G'milut Chasadim for years. This coming temple year is going to be the year of the volunteer and have we got a blue plate special for you! We can dish out recipes for volunteer projects but the most important ingredient is your time. The '98-'99 Temple Volunteer Menu is geared for any age, stage, family or group. When you help someone else, your Jewish soul will glow! There is a sacred nature to acts that help l'tikun olum, to mend the world such as: I. Make and deliver lunches to homeless shelters on W. Madison St., Chicago. Feed the Homeless-4th Sunday every month (3 hours). 2. Prepare and serve dinner at Inspiration Cafe-3rd Saturday every month, Wilson Ave., Chicago. Desperately seeking two families or a group of 6 or 7 for the summer months. (3 hours). 3. Serve brunch at the NEW JUF CAFE-2nd Sunday every month, 2000 Sheridan Rd., Chicago. (2 hours). 4. Teach inner city kids how to plant a garden at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. 5. Tutor. We worked wonders with the Russian Conversation Club. Now our own Gary Riskin, who teaches 2nd grade at Henking School in Glenview, would like to train volunteers of all ages to help immigrant kids learn English. These youngsters live right across the street. A convenient Mitzvah. 6. Collect. Our Saturday School kids collected pennies for · Mitzvah Day and donated $250 to the House of Daniel. If the entire temple collects pennies, we could send a kid to OSRUI. 7. Sort the food collection for the Ark and Northfield Food Pantry-Yorn Kippur. 8. Call and/or Donate for the Blood Drive in February. 9. Deliver Maot Chitim Passover food in April. I 0. Participate in "Chanukah in April" with OLPH and rehab houses in Glenview. I I. Listen to advocacy speakers and write letters to your Washington representatives. 12. Donate your kids' used sporting equipment and we'll bring it to a needy facility . Mitzvah Day is in the works but without facilitators for each project, it won't go. Say you'll be a one-time leader. Call Kathy Kulick 205-1546. Our lofty ambition is to coordinate it with the national Make a Difference Day and the local Crop Walk. Who would you suggest for an inspirational speaker? This is an alltemple, inter-generational project and we look forward to working with all the affiliates. We welcome suggestions on how you would like to improve the world.

L'Sbalom, Naomi Kogan Dein -3- HOUSE CALLS... by Sheree B. Lipkis, M.D. Familial Dysautonomia Familial Dysautonomia is a rare, life-threatening disorder, which occurs most exclusively in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. The cause is unknown, but affected individuals have a defective enzyme (called DBH, or dopamine B-hydroxylase) which converts dopamine to norepinephrine. These biochemicals are both neurotransmitters which are crucial for nonnal neurological functioning within the brain. Patients with dysautonomia have abnormal functioning of their autonomic and sensory nervous systems. Therefore, the diagnosis should be suspected in Ashkenazi Jewish infants who can't make tears, can't suck properly, or have low body temperature. In addition, abnormal sweating, poor swallowing and episodic vomiting, muscle incoordination, insensitivity to pain, and in1tbility to detect heat, as well as widely fluctuating blood pressures, are also typical of this disorder. A cure has not been found, but various symptomatic treatments are available. These include feeding tube placement (for necessary nutrition), medication to control intractable vomiting, and artificial tears. Many patients also require spinal surgery to correct severe scoliosis (spine curvature). This disorder occurs in l of 3800 Ashken.azi Jews. However, the genetic trait is present in l of 30 Ashkenazi Jews. These traitcarriers can then pass their altered gene on to their children. If two carrier parents have a child together, there is a 25% chance that the baby will be affected with dysautonomia. (The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern). Prenatal testing is available to identify those at risk, but is usually done only in families of a previously affected child. Children with dysautonomia often have high intelligence. However, their height is shortened; they rarely reach five feet. The lifespan of affected people is unknown, but survival into the 5th decade has been reported. Familial Dysautonomia is a devastating Jewish genetic disease which causes disturbing and life-threatening symptoms. Research is the key to unlocking this genetic puzzle.

Our Quest for Kolin is a complete success! We are very happy to announce that the SYG will be travelling to Prague and Kolin from Aug. 12-19. We will visit the temple in Kolin that originally housed the BJBE Holocaust Torah. We will pray, then help clean up the Jewish cemetery in Kolin. We would not be making this trip without the support from our BJBE family. All of our fundraisers were successful, from the Plant Sale in May '97 to our fabulous Silent Auction in Nov., to our Sat. Morning Bagel Sale in April, to our T-Shirt sale, we were able to raise over $25,000. Thanks to all BJBE congregants for your generous donations of time and money. To all BJBE staff and committees for your tireless support and help thruout our fundraising efforts. A special thank you to Bobbi Block and Shari Bauer, the administrative backbone of our entire Quest. To Rabbi Shapiro and Rabbi Memis ...you inspired us, you supported us, and you cooked dinner for 12 people to raise funds for our trip. We would also like to thank David Jacobson of Chicago Jewish Funerals for his very generous support, and his recent donation of $1,000 to our cause. Special thanks to the anonymous BJBE couple who agreed to match all BJBE donations from May l to August 12. Thanks to Kaufinan's Bagels in Skokie who donated all the bagels for our 4 week bagel sale during Sat. morning school this past spring. Because of their donation, we were able to raise over $500. Personally, I would like to thank my family. My wonderful inlaws, Al & Mari Ann Schwartzenberg, who attended every fundraising event we had. While their own children are far beyond the youth group age, they supported the idea of this trip, and they supported their family. Thanks to my father Ron Glickman for his belief in this cause and my wife Lynn. Sometimes it seemed I was at temple more than I was at home. Any questions or comments, call SYG Advisor Larry Glickman •References available upon request.

Watch your mail for a flyer with all the details. Outdoor Sbabbat Worship at the Grove 6:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. -4- As I end my term as the ritual chairperson, I would like to thank all the many people who have made by job easier and who have made a difference at BJBE by lending their time, their energy, and their insights to this special committee. Some of the many things ritual has done in the past 2 years include: amending the BJBE food policy to include a recommendation that dairy and meat products not be combined in the same dish when served at temple and temple-sponsored functions; forming an interfaith dialogue with the Glenview Community Church and the Islamic Center in Northbrook" exploring ways to enhance family worship, making Shabba~ dinners a regular part of our synagogue life; establishing a quiet room for restless children on Friday nights; increasing the number of Shabbat Yeladim services from 4 to lO and having those services be a part of our regular monthly worship, and sponsoring festival celebrations such as a Tu b'shevat seder, Tikun Leil Shavout, a Purim spiel, and the Yorn Hatzmaout celebration. If you are interested in being part of a unique and wonderful group of people; if you like to discuss matters of the heart; if you like to examine the nature of worship and ritual within our congregation; and if you like to make decisions regarding the nuts and bolts of synagogue life, then come and explore the ritual committee. Call Shelley Riskin, 847-724-7418, the new ritual chairperson, for more information. THE RITUAL COMMITTEE: Creating a Delicate Balance Between Matters of the Heart and Synagogue Policy... Sometimes in the throws of everyday synagogue life, we get bogged down by the mundane but necessary decisions and activities. You know, those petty, little details such as counting greggars for Purim, or which way the chairs should be placed in the sanctuary, or making sure there's enough tin foil to wrap 500 Chanukah candles. It's easy to forget the bigger picture of why we are doing it and how it effects us and our synagogue family. I admit it...I get wrapped up in counting out reservations for Shabbat dinners, filling 400 usher positions, and mailing flyers. But the wonderful thing about a committee such as · ritual is that I am continually being gently reminded of why I am doing all this work. The people make the difference and that is why I like this committee so much. For me, being a part of synagogue life has always been about connections. Connections to the person sitting next to me during services, connections to my family and community, connections to my roots as a Jew, and my continual searching for a connection to G-d. Being involved in ritual has been a way to continue my search for those connections thru the dialogue of worship and renewal. I've always admired the generations of Jewish people that came before us. They attempted to make Torah meaningful to their generation and for the generations to come. We are doing the same when we discuss and contemplate, during our ritual committee meetings, our own rituals of worship and try to make it meaningfu1 for our generation and hopefully for those in the future. Bringing meaning into our worship and making a difference is truly what I feel our ritual committee is really about. I will tell you one way that being involved in ritual and worship renewal made a difference for me. I was Bat Mitzvahed last year. It was always something I had talked about but I really didn't think it was necessary for me. After all, I could already read, write, and speak a little Hebrew. I took four years of college Hebrew and went to school in Tel Aviv. What more did I need? What was being Bar Mitzvahed going to do for me? As I began to discover, tho, thru my discussions about the importance of life cycle events and ritual, I realized that I needed the Bat Mitzvah life cycle ceremony. Being Bat Mitzvahed was very powerful and I truly felt the generations of my family and my people up there with me when I was reading Torah. I also felt I was making a difference for my children. I wanted to show them that this is something incredible and perhaps they would be touched and find meaning for themselves, as well, when it was their tum. Hopefully, our ritual committee has touched people here at BJBE and made some sort of difference in enhancing worship and creating connections for them. I have always thought of the job of the ritual committee as playing a role with helping people find those connections and helping them find a spiritual renewal in places they may not have even thought of looking. We can always look for spirituality in the liturgy. But there are other places that perhaps we wouldn't think of to look: the art on the walls, the movements we make while worshipping, synagogue dinners, interfait~ dialogues, new ways to celebrate festivals and holidays, and the importance of ushers to help congregants and guests feel welcome. · I am reminded of a quote that I think is really appropriate for this committee: "The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit." Hopefully, by touching others, we ourselves will be touched. I know I have been touched in une: :pected ways. B'Sbalom, Judi Goode KESHER INTERFAITH ••. a A new committee was formed this past January to establish relationship between BJBE and the Glenview Community Church (GCC) in order to gain some knowledge about the faith of our Glenview neighbors, as well as to educate them about our own Judaic beliefs. We have also established a trialogue between BJBE, GCC, and the Islamic Cultural Center (ICC) to learn to facilitate conversation among the various religious communities. The Kesher Interfaith committee has been meeting with the GCC to establish some common short and long term goals in order for us to work together and be active in the Glenview community. We are very excited about some of our upcoming projects and would hope that some of you in the BJBE community would like to be involved. We currently are arranging a film discussion group that is scheduled for July 18 (movie and time to be announced) to allow some interesting interaction between the two religious communities. If you would like to attend this movie, viewing or hear more about this new committee and our projects, please call Diane Sachs for more information (847) 559-8950. NEW SHABBAT MORNING FAMILY SERVICES It's Summer, "but just because we get a vacation from Religious School, doesn't mean we take a vacation from being Jewish." This is the message we send to our Primary School children on the last day of school, and this summer here are two more opportunities "to be Jewish." It's the all new Shabbat Morning Family Services, led by your rabbis. If you like Friday Night Family Services (and we know your kids love Saturday morning services), your family will enjoy these services, too. We also invite Middle School age children and families, who we know always love a good story. Mark your calendars now for July 18th and August 15th at 9:30 a.m. ...because we never take a vacation from being Jewish. MSS&ALM -5- JEWISH HAPPENINGS AROUND CHICAGO.. by Judy Cohan (470) 9074 Summer in Chicago and there are lots of indoor and outdoor things to do around the area to have fun with our friends and families . Thru August 30, the Field Museum will present Assignment: Rescue: The Story of Varian Fry and the Emergency Rescue Committee is part of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's exhibition. This exhibit is the story of Varian Fry who showed extraordinary personal courage rescuing and providing relief to thousands of endangered refugees in France during World War II. As a result of his work, he established a legal French Relief Organization. Fry saved thousands of refugees among who were notable European intellectuals--writers, artists, scientists, and musicians whose arrival in the U.S. changed the character of American culture. To learn more about the exhibit at the Field Museum, call (312) 922-9410. Also note that although adm ission is $7.00 for adults and $4.00 for kids, Wednesdays are free for all ages. A terrific bargain! At Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies: On July 12 and 26 at 2 pm, psychologist Dr. Lichtenberg will discuss the exhibit and her own escape from Germany as a child. This program is geared towards families with older children, and is free with museum admission . On August 16, Justice Illuminated will feature the Art of Arthur Szyk. On Sunday, July 26, a family workshop from 10 am to 12 noon will be presented at Fundays on Sundays. Fabulous Fibers is a hands on project where participants can create and dye your own piece of felt from natural raw wool. Pre-registration is required and is $5.00 per person or $15.00 per family including admission to the museum. This is also the chance to give families the opportunity to experience the new exhibit Family Life at the Oasis, an interactive activity involving games and an imaginary trip to Israel from exile in Babylonia. Spertus has resumed its "Downtown Thursday Night" hours and will stay open till 8 pm. The museum and the Bariff Judaica Shop will be open late on Thursdays. Call (312) 322-1769 for details. At our own BJBE, there are 2 great Shabbat morning family services focused on primary school families. The first is Sat. July 18 and will feature family services, an enriched version of the Shabbat school service. This could be a wonderful way for a Haverah to meet over the summer and then to picnic or plan another summer fun activity for the rest of the day. This will be at 9:30 am. On July I 0, there will be a Family Picnic-Style Shabbat Dinner at the Grove. Dinner begins at 6 pm and Family Service follows promptly at 7 pm. Everyone is welcome. This would be a great way for Haverahs to have a special Shabbat Dinner and see old friends from BJBE--plus no one has to volunteer their home for the evening. No planning is needed--no muss, no fuss. Reservations are due by July 6. Call the BJBE office for details (729-7575). Last for those groups who want to plan a Theatre evening, the play Cabaret will be presented thru August 30 at the Pheasant Run Dinner Theatre in St. Charles. This play, reviewed as a very interesting, entertaining evening with audience participation, gives people the uneasy feeling of really being in a decadent Jazz-Age Berlin nightclub. Race-baiting stormtroopers will be hovering over patrons dessert course, staying in character and really drawing audience members into uneasy conversations. The nightclub where the action takes place is staged in unflinchingly realistic terms and sets the stage for impending doom right before World War II. This could make a very interesting and thoughtprovoking night out for a Havorot. Call (630) 584-6342 for details.
