Lazy Days of Summer?
Not at B’nai Torah!
by Toby Levi, President
I
have heard somewhere that we should “roll out those
lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.” However, at B’nai
Torah, these words do not ring true.
We had a very good year in so many respects, and I’d
like to take this opportunity to share some highlights.
Our Selichot service, under the direction of our Senior
Cantor Udi Spielman, has become a tradition and last
year we had over 900 people in attendance and a
25-piece orchestra. Our Concert Series took us on a
spiritual journey from Hazzanut to Kosher Gospel and
we are all looking forward to the 2017 Series celebrating
Cantor Spielman’s 10th anniversary with B’nai Torah.
Our cast of authors and scholars-in-residence was
outstanding – I hope you all had a chance to attend some
of these very thought-provoking lectures. Dr. Robert
Watson returned, as well as Rabbi Donniel Hartman. We
also welcomed Rabbi Matt Berkowitz, David Gregory, and
Alan Dershowitz. We are so lucky to attract authors and
scholars of this caliber.
The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning is
thriving and expanding. Our site director, Penina Bredoff,
was honored with an “Excellence in Recruitment” award
as she took Melton from a moribund program to one that
is exceeding all expectations.
Thanks to Rabbi David Englander and Cantor Paul
Goldstein, our B’nai Mitzvah program has grown and
flourished. Our students truly learn how to engage in
Shabbat services and Torah study thanks to our private
and small-group lessons.
Of course, The Ruth & Edward Taubman Early Childhood
Center - under the direction of Nancy Goldstein continues to be the only accredited Jewish pre-school
in South Palm Beach County. I could write so much
more, but suffice it to say that they have achieved reaccreditation for an additional five years. Kudos to Nancy
and her very talented teachers.
Cathy Berkowitz, director of the Mirochnick Religious
School, was chosen to partner with the William Davidson
Graduate School of Jewish Education at the Jewish
Theological Seminary, as part of an exploration of the
future trajectory of congregational learning. Cathy,
congratulations again.
Rabbi Rikki Arad, our Executive Director, has
accomplished so much since coming to B’nai Torah.
She was instrumental in designing and implementing
the “Bringing Shul Home” initiative which brings the shul
experience into private homes. The Annual Dinner Dance,
honoring Debra and Jerry Kramer, was a great success.
She worked with Dr. Jeffrey and Barbara Feingold in
securing a new Torah for B’nai Torah and helping them
organize a community-wide celebration in honor of this
new Torah. Rikki, thank you for all that you do. We are
who we are because of our hard-working and dedicated
staff.
We could not achieve the success we have without the
leadership of our Senior Rabbi David Steinhardt and
Rabbi David Englander. They not only guide us spiritually,
but they are with us for all of our life cycle events and for
daily support and guidance. They are the heart and soul
of this shul. I feel honored to work with them and we are
so fortunate to have them lead B’nai Torah Congregation.
Lazy days of summer? Not at B’nai Torah! Our Main
Sanctuary will be closed this summer for a complete
renovation. Just wait until you see how beautiful it is
going to look. In addition to these renovations, the clergy,
leadership and staff are preparing for our High Holy Days
as well as our programming calendar for next year. Also
this summer we will welcome back Cantor Boaz Davidoff,
who will be with us through mid-Decemeber. These are
exciting times for our shul! If you are not yet a member, I
urge you to consider joining one of the most dynamic and
successful shuls in the country.
I wish you all a good summer filled with peace, and
hopefully we’ll see you in shul.

The Great Debate
by Rabbi David Steinhardt
D
ear Friends,
A few thoughts about the elections and Shavuot.
We are approaching the summer and another election
season. Actually, the election season began about the
time the last vote was counted in the last election. That is
a sad commentary, and it speaks to the fact that so many
elected officials are more concerned with power and control
than with governance. And we see – and all agree – that
governance is broken. I don’t think we see too many leaders
who are willing to come together, define the problem,
agree that it needs to be resolved, and then figure out a
way to solve it. Inevitably, that means compromise. Many
are simply too stuck in their way of perceiving the world
to compromise. They are stuck in themselves and their
ideologies. They are trapped by money and special interests
and lobbies. I have heard candidates speak regularly about
their ideological principles as needing to be served, but
not say that America and the American people need to be
served. That is disturbing.
The art of debating ideas is lost, and the debates have
become very personal and cruel. Disagreement has led to
the point where many are fearful of giving their opinions.
For some it means friendships and for some it literally
means jobs. Most Jewish professionals and rabbis I know
believe that there are areas of conversation where they
simply “cannot go.” This is true about public discourse in this
country, and certainly when it has to do with Israel. What a
sad state of affairs! When I grew up, clergy were unabashed
in their leadership for civil rights and against the war in
Vietnam. Things have changed.
summer 2016
Our tradition has a lot to say about debate and discourse,
and our tradition actually values the disputes and debates
of the rabbinic minds. The Talmud is built around this type
of discourse. Sometimes opinions are determined to be
simply wrong. Sometimes there is no clear right answer. And
sometimes there is a sense that we cannot know what is
right or wrong at the present time. There is actually a word
used in the Talmud that ends a long argument. The word is
taku and it means that this argument will not be decided by
us; it will be decided when the Messiah comes. (And no one
knows when that is!)
On the evening of Saturday, June 11, we gathered for the
celebration of Shavuot. This is a holiday of learning as we
celebrate our story of revelation. Traditionally, Jews would
stay up and study all night long.
This year, we joined together for prayer and some
cheesecake and then we studied some of the great debates
and disagreements in Jewish history. There have been
plenty. Congregants had the opportunity to learn from Rabbi
Englander, Rabbi Arad and myself and the conversations
were interactive and lively.
It’s appropriate that we did this topic this year. We modeled
how to have debates, how to disagree, and how to allow this
to be meaningful and productive.
If you missed it, I hope you will join us next year for what will
surely be another interesting and fun evening of learning!

Rabbi David Englander
S
ince it is summertime, I will begin with a camp
reference. When I went to summer camp, there were
swimming groups: beginner, intermediate, swimmers,
all the way up to lifeguarding. I have now advanced in
my social media use about as far as I ever advanced
in swimming at camp; which is to say I am a solid
intermediate. But don’t expect to see me with a whistle
on the docks ready to dive in to save you (actually,
I can’t even dive!).
I am not on Facebook so you can’t find me there.
I have a Google account and so we could “hang out”
if you really wanted to. I even know what Instagram is,
though I don’t have an account, and I recently signed
up for WhatsApp (if you don’t know – don’t bother).
I have become a late adopter of Twitter, enjoying my
“feed” much more than I ever thought I would. It is rather
difficult to say anything meaningful in 140 characters,
and those who are able to do so on a regular basis are
worth my attention. I even Tweet once in a while, and
should probably do more.
Every technology in history is only as good as what
it is used for. Social media brings people closer together
for the sharing of ideas, for keeping up with family or
friends who live far away, for feeling a sense
of community even when we are not near those to whom
we wish we lived closer. And when it is used to insult,
defame, degrade, or otherwise scrape the bottom of the
kind of communication people are capable of, we might
wish it never existed. What can be shared with a click
6
of a button today on every phone and computer still
astounds me. There is beauty and inspiration there,
and there is racism, sexism, homophobia, misogyny,
and extreme closed-mindedness, as well.
As we travel in cyberspace, we should commit to abiding
by at least the same rules of civility that we would
expect when we see people we know, and people we
don’t know, face-to-face. Even from my “intermediate”
status, I can tell that one has to be very careful to be
on the right side of the line of using this powerful tool.
As the siddur says about every new month, li’vracha v’lo
li’klala, for a blessing and not for a curse.
I wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to
seeing you soon at B’nai Torah.

Main Sanctuary Undergoing Changes
We are looking forward to the renovation of our sanctuary! Construction will begin June 18th and will continue throughout the
summer. We will re-open in time for the High Holy Days with a brand new look!
There will be a new color scheme, including new sanctuary seating and carpeting. The alcove seats will be replaced with a
beautiful new fabric, and we will receive new chairs for our bima, as well. Additional handrails will be placed on the bima and
we will also be updating our electric. In addition to these exciting renovations, we are enhancing the technology available
for our hearing-impaired congregants. We are
very excited to bring an even more beautiful
sanctuary to our B’nai Torah family.
On behalf of the renovation committee, I wish
you all a wonderful summer!
Elissa Shosheim
Rabbi Rikki Arad
Executive Director
D
ear Friends,
I recently came back from the March of the Living, and I
must say, I am forever changed.
I was asked to go on the trip as a rabbinical leader. As
a Jewish professional and educator, and as a second
generation Holocaust survivor, I didn’t think there was
anything I didn’t already know regarding this dark time in
our history. I was wrong…
There were days I was supposed to console crying
students, when all I wanted to do was cry myself. It is said
that when you teach, you learn. This was most certainly
true of my experience. I went on the March of the Living
to teach, to guide, and to support. In the end, I was also
a student who learned so much. I wouldn’t have gotten
through it if it weren’t for the amazing students and my
fellow staff members with whom I will always share an
amazingly strong bond.
As you know, I am from Israel, and I travel there often. I
always feel a sense of comfort and pride when arriving at
my home, and the home of the Jewish people. When we
arrived there after the March, however, the feeling was
very different. Of course, I still felt comfort and pride, but
I also felt a sense of relief. Judaism is alive and thriving.
Arriving in Israel, after seeing firsthand the horrors of the
Shoah, reminded me how critically important it is to have a
strong Israel.
preserved from generation to generation. Additionally,
we must make sure our members are aware of what is
happening in the world and learn how it impacts us, so
that we can work together to be part of a better, more
tolerant, and more accepting world.
For these reasons, the B’nai Torah professional staff and
I are working very hard to make this another fantastic
year filled with fun and meaningful Shabbat and holiday
observances, the best of Jewish culture and art, and
substantive learning opportunities through our amazing
early childhood center, religious school, and our adult
learning offerings.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or
concerns, please reach out to me. We also have a new
“Kvell or Kvetch” comment box located by the front office.
Wishing you all a wonderful and peaceful summer.
Rabbi Rikki Arad
I arrived back to Boca filled with inspiration and a sense of
obligation to do everything possible to support, celebrate,
and educate others about Israel, and also to continue
maintaining and growing our synagogue. We must
continue to offer meaningful programming and learning
opportunities for people of all ages and stages so that all
who come to B’nai Torah can strengthen their commitment
and connection to Jewish life and Torah. We must ignite
a love for Judaism and a strong Jewish identity in our
children from an early age, and work to keep that flame
burning throughout their lifetime so Jewish life can be

ongratulations to the graduates and their families. They
are all “Ready to Rock and Roll.”
We have all worked together to create a warm, caring and
nurturing environment. In a world where things may be
far from perfect, we have given our children a wonderful

To our graduates: As you all “Go Your Own Way” know
that “You’ve Got a Friend” always and that what you have
learned at The Ruth and Edward Taubman Early Childhood

a base for a strong Jewish future.
I close with a smile on my face, warmth in my heart, and
much anticipation for many more tomorrows of success and

Magen David Adom
Ambulance Dedication
In Honor of the
Drowos Family
Introducing B’nai
Torah’s New Logo
On May 22, 2016, a special dedication ceremony
took place at B’nai Torah Congregation. Magen David
Adom, Israel’s national emergency service, received
a generous donation - a brand new ambulance to be
shipped to and used in Israel for emergency response.
The ambulance was generously donated by Jeff and
Linda Drowos in honor of their children, Bryan and
Joanna Drowos, and their grandchildren, Lila and
Jackson Drowos, who are members of B’nai Torah
and attend The Ruth and Edward Taubman Early
Childhood Center. The ambulance is also given in
memory of Jeff’s parents, Jean and Izzy Drowosz’’l.
Magen David Adom is Israel’s ambulance, bloodservices, and disaster-relief organization, serving
as emergency medical first responders for the
state’s more than 8 million people. MDA is the only
organization mandated by the Israeli government to
serve in this role, but it’s not a government agency,
so it relies on private funding.
Yasher Koach to the Drowos family!
A big thank you to everyone who attended the
Annual General Meeting and voted on our new B’nai Torah
logo! You’ll see this new logo start to make its way onto our
printed collateral, on staff shirts, social media, signage and
more.
Branded-Item Giveaway!
With the debut of our new logo, and an enhanced focus on
social media, we are hosting a giveaway contest via Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram! To enter, simply check our social media
outlets for the announcement of the contest and follow the
instructions on how to comment, share or re-tweet. Three lucky
winners will receive a promotional item featuring our new logo.
