tasked with re - en -
great challenges for all of us at
Sholom. W e
were
ergizing our board , clarifying our financial
situation and replacing key individuals in
our organization .
I took over as president in June 2013. Through
the graciousness and patience of my predecessors
Todd Strauss, Dara Nachmanoff and Adam Hertz, I
was given a strong introduction to the role of president. It was a lucky thing: The congregation was
soon faced with replacing our executive director,
financial personnel, the director of congregational
learning, and our senior rabbi.
All of this would have been totally impossible without the help of many. The executive
committee and board were invaluable. We welcomed a permanent executive director, Angel
Alvarez-Mapp, who has done a tremendous job
organizing the office, creating our new budget,
and recruiting a top-notch director of education — all while leading new program offerings,
from Jewish Heritage Night at the Ballpark to
a goodbye Kabbalat Shabbat dinner attended by
more than 200 congregants. We now have a
strong Governance Committee, which has put us on
track with our bylaws and recruited four new board members.
Under Lael Sturm, the Education Committee has made great advances. Development, under Lu Zilber; Community Outreach, under Stacy Ban; and Finance, under Todd Strauss, have all remained
strong. All along, we have been aided by a phenomenal Ritual
Committee, under the leadership of Scott Horowitz.
Recruiting a new rabbi is no trivial pursuit. Past presidents
Sandy Edwards, Sue Rushakoff and Sandy Goldstein contributed
monumental efforts, as did the many congregants on the Rabbi
Search Committee.
Most importantly, we were helped by all of you. Many of you participated in and hosted outreach events. You shared your opinions
in surveys and rabbi evaluation weekends. Thanks to you, we were
able to show the applicants our best side, and identify and attract
our wonderful new leader, Rabbi Aubrey Glazer.
Now, the exciting part. The structural changes we have made and
the issues we have resolved have positioned us to accomplish a great
deal in the year ahead. We are creating a new formalized strategic
plan, including a development effort to secure endowment for our
long-term future. Based on your feedback and the renewed energy
from our rabbi search, watch for great new programs internally as
well as increased community exposure through partner events. We
have refined our membership levels, and are planning significant
outreach for new members and to re-establish Beth Sholom as the
conservative synagogue in San Francisco. Finally, look for a redesigned website and increased communication to our community.
Fellow congregants, 2013 was a year of great challenges at
Beth Sholom — and subsequently, great growth. We will continue that growth in the months ahead. I can hardly wait for next
year’s annual report.

This was reinforced in May, when we held our first art show as a
congregation. It was one of my first big events as executive director,
and I remember feeling nervous that no one would show up. Well, 110
people did. And it was a great success. It was a chance to get together,
recognize the talent in our community, and really get to know each
other. There were so many people I’d seen for years and years whose
names I knew, but whose stories I’d never really heard until that day.
Others shared the same feedback with me. We crave these moments
of connection. In the year ahead, I’m looking forward to presenting
many more opportunities for us to come together and really connect.
We’re already planning on a film series and a music series, as well as
several lecture events.
This emphasis on community will be both fun
and fulfilling. I also think it’s the perfect complement to what Beth Sholom already does so well.
We have a history as a congregation where serious
Jews come to do serious Judaism, but we’re also a
place that accepts different approaches to practice.
We’re the home of Jewish meditation. We’re innovative. We’re forward-thinking.
I converted at Beth Sholom back in 2002 with
Rabbi Lew, a leader who helped shape that progressive identity. Today, during this time of transition, we are pausing to ask ourselves what our
identity will be in the years to come. Rabbi Aubrey
Glazer is an exciting part of our future. So is every
individual who participates in this community.
All of us together are this congregation; all of us
together are its future. This moment in history is
happening to our entire community. And that’s why
Beth Sholom will be here another five years, another 10 years, and another 107 years.

P.
An annual report is not only a status of the present, it is a guide to
the future. I leave Beth Sholom like a premature Moses; a bit before
my prime but still with all the passion and hope as when I arrived.
Our final Shabbat together crystallized all that I cherish about our
community: prayer, warmth, diversity and overflowing gratitude.
Erin and I will continue to value all that we shared together.
As we returned to the city to spackle the final holes of our former
home, I found my way to morning minyan. It was percolating with
new Torah readings, young and old, a special Kiddush and friendly
greetings all around. The report was most excellent. I was just number 12 that morning, a member of Israel celebrating a community
of Israel. That was and is a blessing that as a qualitative feel to the
metrics of a healthy shul.
I am grateful for our current leadership – the board, our executive director, our staff, our teachers and especially our members
who live and breathe the pages that follow. But that gratitude is to
a higher purpose that far exceeds any one individual, program or
even institution. When we focus on the horizon of the ineffable, all
of our actions will lead to a positive report. Joshua may have fought
7
the battle of Jericho, but it was a collective faith
that made the walls come tumbling down.
One thing this report cannot yet extol is your
future rabbi: a mensch in mind and heart. The
community led a vibrant process of discernment;
the community sang the virtues of Beth Sholom
and San Francisco; and Rabbi Glazer has emerged
to declare: Let us take our destiny! His success depends on trust, passion and vision. Let us succeed
not for his or your sake, but for the children of our
future, who may not know any of our names but
Israel.
That is what makes this report more than a brochure: It is a prayer waiting to be read, davened,
meditated upon and fulfilled. Do not become the
generation that must fade away in cynicism for
a new generation to arrive. Be the present and
future! We can, we should and we must taste the
milk and honey from the Rock of the Divine.

NOVICOFFS
very Saturday, when Gregg Novicoff and Dawne Bear
Novicoff drop off their son and daughter at Beth Sholom
Shabbat School, they catch a glimpse of the past. The
kids two, three, four years younger. Their son, just a toddler,
on his very first day of preschool. Now Arlo is 10 and Rayna is
8. This ritual, and this building, are woven into their earliest
memories.
“I love being there on Saturdays and seeing our kids run up the
stairs,” says Dawne. “I love seeing how connected and comfortable
they are in that space, with the teachers and clergy and congregants.
They are part of the community and completely at home.”
For Gregg, the feeling is summed up at Shabbat services, observing the b’nai mitzvah children reading Torah, leading prayers,
and delivering speeches. “I’m so proud of these kids — their poise;
how smart and funny they are,” he says. “I don’t
know all of them personally but they are part of
our extended community. And I think of our own
children, and how soon they will be standing in
that space, with our community.”
“It feels like our son’s bar mitzvah is just around
the corner,” Dawne agrees. “We’re headed into a
time of very intense connection to the synagogue.
We have a Jewish home and a lot of Jewish friends,
but Beth Sholom is a different piece to the puzzle
of our family’s Jewish identity. It’s the structure
and ritual and intergenerational piece. It’s an important part of the Jewish community that we’ve
built for ourselves in San Francisco.”

EMERSON YELLEN
S
he’s lived in Texas, Japan, Israel, and Canada. Emerson
Yellen, 28, has never been one to sit still. And she’s never
been one to sit alone.
“I’m a social person,” she says. “I get in touch with who I am spiritually when I’m with a group and bouncing ideas off other people.”
Emerson reconnected with her Jewish upbringing some 1,500
miles north of here while living in Calgary, but never quite found
her place in a synagogue there. Then, about a year ago, she accepted
a job at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco and moved
to the Bay Area. Soon after, a friend asked her to lifeguard at a Beth
Sholom family camp.
“I walked in thinking I was there to do a job,” she recalls. “But
parents came up and introduced themselves to me while I was lifeguarding. I stayed up late playing games and talking to everyone.
I thought, these are people I could be friends with. This is a really
positive, active community.”
Emerson joined Beth Sholom and immediately
sought out ways to be active in it, serving on the
community involvement committee last year and
currently co-chairing the young adults group.
“I love meeting people who are new and trying
to figure out where they fit in,” she says. “Beth
Sholom has always been so welcoming to my
ideas, and patient with who I am. It’s willing to
welcome you into the community in whatever
capacity you want.”

GINSBERGS
ost weekends, you can find the
whole Ginsberg crew at Golden Gate
Park, lounging around Stow Lake or
in a ragtag parade of bicycles: 7-year-old Ava,
5-year-old Nathan, 2-year-old Ryan, and their
parents, Ellen and David.
“When we moved to San Francisco, we wanted to
explore everything,” says Ellen. “We’ve never lost
that attitude.”
During those early days, Congregation Beth
Sholom provided the family with an important
sense of community. In the five years since, it has
led Ellen and David to form lifelong friendships.
It’s influenced David to build a daily meditation
practice. It’s been a place for Ellen to share her
leadership skills – on the development committee
and education committee, and in planning the preschool’s carnival
fundraiser. And it’s been formative for the three smallest Ginsbergs:
Both Ava and Nathan attended the Beth Sholom preschool, and the
whole family is often at synagogue events.
“We like that we can bring our kids to events with people of all
backgrounds and ages, across generations,” says David. “At Beth
Sholom, we can go and have a religious experience, but also a community experience.”
The Ginsberg family’s sense of adventure extends to the congregation’s future.
“There’s this grassroots kind of energy right now,” says Ellen.
“Everybody’s willing to roll up their sleeves and do what they can
to help Beth Sholom thrive and succeed. There’s something special
about feeling like you’re building your own community. We’re excited to be a part of it.”

NEWMAN FISHER
S
an Francisco is an ever-shifting landscape. For the past 86 years, Newman
Fisher has witnessed it firsthand. He was
born in this city. He grew up here. He went to
school here, and then he taught school here —
for 40 years, no less. He remembers when Beth
Sholom’s rabbi marched a Torah down Market
Street to protest the Vietnam War.
That rabbi, Rabbi White, was one of the figures that drew Newman and his wife, Neah, to
Congregation Beth Sholom in the first place. “He
was not afraid to take on tough things, and he
did it with a lot of class,” says Newman. “He set
a tone for the synagogue.” All these years later,
it’s still evident.
“For example, many religious institutions have struggled to accept
gay and lesbian communities. We’ve never encountered that. Beth
Sholom has been very accepting,” Newman says. “The synagogue
has championed social justice and the rights of other people for a
very long time, not just in word but in deed.”
Newman is proud to have served three terms as president of Beth
Sholom’s board of directors, 1989-1992. He remains active in the
synagogue, conducting the Tuesday evening minyan service and
regularly leading the Musaf service at Shabbat.
“People worship in public and share life cycle events in public —
bar and bat mitzvahs, somebody passing away, illness. When you
go to services, it creates a support system,” Newman says. “I think
that’s a very lovely thing.”

rowing up a few blocks apart in Queens, NY, Rachel and
Joseph shared not only a high school but the commute
to and from it every day. They met as teenagers on
the F train.
Now married and living on the other coast, they’re still sharing
a journey. Although Joseph is not Jewish, both have decided that
Beth Sholom is part of it – for the two of them and for their children,
Mia and Marc.
Mia, 2, starts at the Beth Sholom preschool this fall. Marc, 5,
has just graduated from it. To her delight, Rachel will sometimes
overhear Marc at play, contentedly singing the Four Questions
to himself.
“The preschool has nurtured our son, and helped turn him into
a confident, independent, happy person. Watching that process
has been a joy,” says Rachel. Last year she was the head of the
school’s Parents Committee and she and Joseph
worked on the carnival raffle. They participate
in many of the synagogue’s children’s holiday
services.
“There’s this open, accepting atmosphere that
extends to everything at Beth Sholom,” she says.
“Before we moved to San Francisco, I sometimes
felt uncomfortable accompanying Rachel to synagogue events. I have never felt uncomfortable at
Beth Sholom,” agrees Joseph.
“It’s very important that our kids grow up
Jewish, but at the same time, I’ve always wondered if I would feel comfortable in all the
settings that that would entail,” he adds. “Beth
Sholom has allayed my fears.”

EVA-LYNNE &
OWEN LEIBMAN
T
hirty-five years ago, Eva-Lynne and Owen Leibman’s
paths intersected here. They were each in their
mid-twenties. They were each new to San Francisco.
They each found Beth Sholom. And then, they found each other.
“Very early on,” declares Eva-Lynne, “I set my cap for Owen. We
were both very involved in the young adults group. I decided that
whatever the group activity, it would include Owen and me.”
Now they are in their third decade of marriage, with a daughter who is a twenty-something herself. In this new chapter, they
have found new ways to connect with the synagogue. Owen
is on the ritual committee, and oversees the assigning of Torah
readings for Shabbat and minyans. Eva-Lynne became a bat mitzvah this past June, an experience that she describes as “a gift.”
“The whole synagogue celebrating with me – it
was a huge hug,” she says. They are both regulars
at morning minyan – and, as of this summer, at
Beth Sholom baseball games. (Owen plays second
base; Eva-Lynne is, in their daughter’s words, “an
official groupie.”)
So, while much has changed at Beth Sholom
over the years, the important things remain intact.
“Back when we knew very few people in this
city, Beth Sholom gave us a place to go. It gave us
our first friends. Many of those people are still our
friends,” says Eva-Lynne. “This is our community.
This is our home.”

ELIZABETH &
CHRISTOPHER
E
lizabeth Cedars is a resident physician.
Her husband, Christopher Orev Reiger,
is an artist and writer, as well as the cofounder of a nonprofit that integrates science
with art. Their schedules are packed. And that’s
one of the reasons they value Beth Sholom.
“It’s where I connect to a deep part of myself,”
says Elizabeth, “which I don’t always access with
the hectic nature of our lives.”
Elizabeth, 30, grew up in the Reform Jewish
movement in the East Bay, but drifted away as a
teenager. Christopher, 36, gravitated to Judaism as
an adult. He wanted to convert in a conservative
synagogue, and found Beth Sholom.
“It’s very valuable to have a spiritual center
to go to,” he says. “The conservative movement
demands that we wrestle with contemporary
Jewish identity, and that happens at Beth Sholom.”
In the four years that he and Elizabeth have been members, he’s
become a familiar face around the synagogue, serving on the community engagement committee and the rabbi search committee,
and cochairing the young adults group. In May, he led the visual
curation for the congregation’s first Annual Art Show.
As for Elizabeth, “Beth Sholom really felt like a warm place to
return to Judaism,” she says. “Growing up, there was a clear delineation between my Jewish life and the rest of my life. Beth Sholom
has shown me that the two can be integrated – that a synagogue can
be your community. That’s a really wonderful thing.”

Maimonides
said,
“To
have a child
is to create a new world.”
As I begin my
12th year as director of Congregation
Sholom Family Preschool, I feel blessed
to be part of the growth and development of so
many new worlds.
One of our goals as a school is to be a place
where children know that they matter. We want to
know what they think, feel and wonder. We want
them to feel unconditionally loved and respected.
Each child is our curriculum. They come to school
as individuals and together they become a community. Our Jewish and secular curriculum connects
these children and their families with the entire
Congregation Beth Sholom community. We are
committed to providing the highest quality Jewish and secular preschool experience.
For the past five years we have been a First 5 Model School, which
provides our Pre-K families with substantial financial support from
the state of California. This year we were also part of the San Francisco
Inclusion Network, and benefitted from its teacher workshops as well
as individualized support for children and teachers. We’ll continue to
work with their specialists this coming year. In addition, we welcome
Ellen Brosbe from Jewish Learning Works (formerly the Bureau of
Jewish Education) to assist in enriching our Jewish curriculum.
Every day, we are inspired by our students and families to do
more. Our teachers attended a workshop this year to learn new
techniques for teaching science to young children and enhancing
their experiences in nature. Under the guidance of Susan Dudley,
our lead Pre-K teacher, we created a muscle development program
using new state-of-the-art equipment.
We treasure the traditions that we’ve built with our families and
their children, and we try to fill all of them with a sense of warmth
and excitement. Every Friday, Michael Lederman, director of
Congregational Learning, and our new rabbi, Rabbi Aubrey Glazer,
will celebrate a frielich (lively) Kabbalat Shabbat with us. All are
welcome — please join! On the fourth Friday of every month, song
leader extraordinaire Jonathan Bayer accompanies our pajama-clad
preschoolers and their families in PJ Shabbat.
These are the kinds of moments that we cherish, and that we hope
our families do, too. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel said, “The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without
wonder is not worth living. We must nurture in our children a will
to wonder.” At Congregation Beth Sholom Family Preschool, it is
our privilege to help nurture that will to wonder.

ewish tradition places a very high value
— and so do we at
Congregation Beth Sholom. Year-round,
we strive to provide rich and engaging opportunities for learning and Jewish engagement. We
strive to do this not only for our congregants,
but for the larger Bay Area Jewish community.
on lifelong learning
Over my many years of teaching Hebrew and
Judaic studies, I have witnessed how Jewish education builds Jewish community. I believe it ought
to be fun and enjoyable, as well as intellectually
stimulating and meaningful.
The Talmud says, “A town without schoolchildren is doomed to destruction.” At Congregation
Beth Sholom, we want to create an atmosphere of
learning and support. We begin with our youngest,
from our highly-regarded preschool program to our
K-through-6 Shabbat School to our music-filled
“PJ Shabbat” and Family Shabbat programs. For
younger students preparing to become Bar or Bat
Mitzvah, we offer a special B’nai Mitzvah program,
comprised of weekly Shabbat class meetings held
during the school year, along with one-on-one
21
tutoring sessions with experienced tutors and the rabbi.
For every age group, we offer educational experiences rich with
Jewish values, and filled with content that will help strengthen our
community. Preteens and teens are encouraged to participate in a
variety of special activities and programming throughout the year,
including the United Synagogue Youth group. During the school
year, teens are encouraged to participate in our very successful
Shabbat School Madrichim program, where they have the opportunity to learn and also to assist our younger students with their
learning.
Avot 2:7 reads, “The more schooling, the more wisdom.” Education
does not end with youth. That’s why we provide a rich selection of
adult learning opportunities for our members. During the past year,
this included weekly study programs in the Torah, the Talmud, and
the Pirkei Avot, as well as an all-night Leil Tikkun Shavuot study
and an adult B’nei Mitzvah class. We hosted a parents’ book group,
a Sunday morning book group and a womens’ book group. We held
three different Kevah study groups, a special Yom Kippur afternoon study session, and in conjunction with the Shalom Hartman
Institute, curricula for Israel educational. Additionally, throughout
the year, we hosted and learned from several different Scholars in
Residence.
This is an exciting time of transition for our community, and
transition can bring about even more wonderful opportunities in
education. Along with welcoming Rabbi Glazer and his family to
our congregation, I also look forward to welcoming several new and
experienced teachers and song leaders to our Shabbat School faculty.
I am very glad to be at Congregation Beth Sholom, and I hope to
have the opportunity to study and learn with you in the coming year.

RABBI
R A B B I AUBR EY L . G L A Z E R
I
’ve been having a recurring dream. I’m driving down 101
in a ’76 C orvette done up like a T esla . I’ m listening to
the threefold lyrical landscape of R obert H unter ’ s
“Eyes of the World unfolding” on the radio as I make this
journey home – now for real – to S an F rancisco :
“…The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own…”
Just as in Hunter’s lyrical vision there are three places the heart
journeys toward, Rav Soleveitchik teaches that in Judaism there are
three distinct covenants that describe the journey we are on together:
P.
A covenant of fate: the Judaism that you have been born into,
dwelling in “homelands of the heart”;
A covenant of destiny: the Jew that you can become, searching through the “beaches of the heart”;
A covenant of responsibility: the Jew that someone else can
become when his or her soul is nourished by your elevated
soul connection, guided by “thoughts of the heart.”
Each of these covenants is captured through the dynamism of what it
means to be part of the Congregation Beth Sholom community.
We have benefited immensely in our covenants of fate with
each of our esteemed rabbis White (z”l), Lew (z”l) and Hyman, who
have shown us a path to the Promised Land through their unique
approaches to Torah-learning, Tefilla-introspection, and Avodahdevotion. They have taught us what it means to be embedded in that
fateful connection to tradition, genetics and culture that make us
members of the Jewish people.
They have inspired many of us to grow in our covenant of destiny
by showing us the path toward the Promised Land as they saw it in the
offing. Sometimes in life, just as Moses does not make it all the way to
the Promised Land, our most beloved leaders are not able to take us all
the way there — but our hearts remain imprinted with their teachings.
I hope to build upon these openings and find new windows into
your covenant of destiny. Who you can become is a function of
how your soul, your mind and body can be nourished to grow your
Judaism, both within and beyond the walls of Beth Sholom. I will
dedicate time to teaching a fourfold model of doing, feeling, thinking
and being Jewish, so that “the overflowing cups of our souls” begin
23
to inspire that covenant of responsibility for
each other. Every Israelite, every Jew, every seeking soul, is responsible for the soul of each other!
This annual report celebrates all three covenants for Congregation Beth Sholom as we look
ahead to forging a new covenant of destiny. My
wife, Elyssa, my daughter, Thalia, and I are so
proud to be part of that covenant with you, and I
am honored to serve as your spiritual leader.
I hope to expand upon the three covenants, and
bring them more fully into our awareness as we
seek inspiration for our intellectual, ethical and
spiritual lives. As a community committed to its
covenants, we can make a difference for this new
chapter in our unfolding journey. That is how each
of us “wakes up to find out we are the eyes of the
world”! May we be so blessed — Amen!
