superheroes – like Superman or Spiderman and we have the
more human kind of heroes like the first responders who
run into a fire or towards danger. To be a hero in America
one must almost be a superhero, able to leap tall buildings
in a single bound!
Judaism, I argued, has a different notion of what it means to
be a hero. It is my contention that in Judaism doing the right

__ Rabbi Alan B. Lucas
I was tempted to write –
“just doing the right thing
qualifies you as a hero,” but
I didn’t. The word, “just”
implies that doing the right
thing is somehow easier
than acts of bravery and
enormous physical effort
and that is just not true.
It seems nowadays that
we have no lack of heroes
who are willing to run into
burning buildings, danger
zones and terror scenes
but it is getting harder and
harder to find a few good
men and women who are
willing to do the right thing:
Our political leaders are incapable of passing the most basic
Gun Control laws; even those improvements which are
almost universally agreed upon like background checks or
safety devices. When was the last time you heard a politician
say something like, “I know my party or my constituents do
not approve – but it was the right thing to do!” Congress is
a place where it is the hardest to find people willing to do
the right thing. Issue avoidance and not deciding seems to
be the preferred method of dealing with any and all difficult
issues by our politicians.
When it came to permitting women to have access to the
Western Wall, to say kaddish, to wear a tallit, to do what
many consider normal in most parts of the world – the
religious leadership in Israel could not bring themselves to
do the right thing. I am sad to report that the compromise
that was agreed upon in Israel is falling apart – because
leaders cannot do the right thing.
Who are our heroes? The strongest amongst us? The bravest
amongst us? Those capable of feats of enormous daring?
We Jews have a very different definition of what it means to
be a hero. For us a hero is the one who does the right thing
– no more, no less. This is in keeping with that wonderful
mishna from the fourth chapter of Pirke Avot where Ben
Zoma asks: “Who is strong? The one who can conquer his
own passions.” Such is the nature of a Jewish Superhero.
Heroes who do the right thing challenge us all to be better
people and a better community.
On May 5 we will hold our annual Yom Hashoah – Holocaust
Memorial Day Commemoration at TBS. On this day we
remember those who survived and the many heroes who
were heroes because they chose to do the right thing – and
Jewish lives were saved.
We will also celebrate Israel Independence Day. There was
incredible bravery and heroism that went into the founding
of the modern State of Israel but it was also made possible
because the world was willing to do the right thing and
enable the Jewish State to come into being.
I remain impressed by those remarkable people who run
into fires and directly into the face of danger when the rest
of us are running the opposite way. But, I your rabbi, do not
expect you to fly faster than a speeding bullet, or leap tall
buildings in a single bound – if you want to impress me, if
you want to be my hero – just do the right things!
But don’t be fooled – it is not as easy as it sounds. In some
ways – it is easier to leap a tall building. It takes enormous
strength, incredible commitment, and amazing fortitude to
do the right thing. That’s why we live in a world of so few
real heroes.
There are many challenges that confront us today, as
Americans and as Jews – if we would simply be willing to
do the right thing – how much better a place would our
world be.

CANTOR'S
NOTES
by Cantor Ofer Barnoy
Dear Friends,
The month of May includes a special time to celebrate the modern State of Israel. Yom
Ha'atzmaut celebrates its independence in 1948 and every year since then it has survived wars,
terrorism and threats to its existence from the UN and many governments who would like to
see it eliminated. By the grace of God and support from its important allies around the world
Israel has thrived and has become a beacon of democracy, justice and decency. As the only Jewish state it continues to fulfill
the commandment for the Jewish nation to be a light onto the world. Israel has produced a plethora of Nobel prize winners
and is in the forefront of important cutting edge inventions in every category. Israelis live with a zest for life in spite of all
the stress created by their nasty neighbors on every side and now they have become an inspiration to all countries that
are dealing with the threat of terrorism that living your life to the fullest without fear is the only true antidote to terrorism.
On May 15, between the hours of noon and 4:00 PM, Long Island will come together to celebrate Israel at the second annual
Israelfest. This year it will be around the corner from us at the North Hempstead Beach Park (known to most of us as Bar
Beach) on the border of Roslyn and Port Washington.
Please see below for more information. Don't miss it!!

Our Newest Observances are Holy and Important
M

Torah and Hebrew
Bible and the few that aren’t
(Hanukah and Simchat Torah) are at least 1500 years old and
likely much older. Two observances that have been added
to the Jewish calendar in modern times, Yom HaShoah
(Holocaust Remembrance Day) and Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel
Independence Day) were established by the Knesset in
the early years of the State of Israel. To me, they are as
important and as holy as Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur,
Passover, Sukkot and Shavuot.
The Arabs rejected the plan. When the British sailed out of
Haifa on May 14, 1948, five Arab countries announced that
they would drive the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. We
all know what happened.
On May 12, we will celebrate Israel’s 68th anniversary.

These observances: Yom HaShaoah, Yom HaZikaron and
Yom Ha’atzmaut are holy days to me. We have an obligation
to remember and to celebrate. I hope each person and
family will find some way to observe these days. Our
newest observances are vital and crucial. To be a Jew means
to remember and to celebrate the festive occasions of our
faith and tradition. In the face of so much anti-semitism in
our world and so much hatred toward Israel, it is our duty
to speak out, to remember, to show our love for the people
and land of Israel.

‫דוגמה אישית‬
Rabbi Lucas , Leading by Personal Example
I
t was December 1995, and
two busloads of members,
young and old embarked
on Rabbi Lucas’ first TBS trip to
Israel. There were many memorable moments on this trip
but one stands out as a foreshadow of who Alan B. Lucas
would be as our Rabbi.
On our excursion to Masada, Rabbi led us up a somewhat
challenging trail. (There was also an easier path to take, which
another guide led.) Rabbi led the way and my husband, a few
others and I held up the rear. Navigating the narrow ledges,
one of the climbers froze, which in turn froze those in back.
We were stuck for some time, enough time for me to wonder
where was the rest of the group, including my children.
Finally, with the reassuring
words of Edy Lucas and others,
Pirkei Avot, Rabbi
our climber continued the
Shimon said: There
journey and we followed.
are three crowns…the
crown of Torah, the
crown of priesthood
and the crown of
sovereignty—but the
crown of a good name
surmounts them all.
__ TBS President, Pearl Halegua
As we came to the top of the
mountain, there was Rabbi
Lucas, sitting lotus position,
alone, out on a precipice,
waiting for his flock to reach
the top. I don’t know exactly
why, but his presence, his
waiting for us, watching over
us as we ascended, allowed
me to exhale.
It was comforting to know, we
had a leader, who had assembled all our children at the top
and like a good shepherd he patiently awaited the rest of his
flock.
Putting himself out on the edge-foreshadowed the choices,
directions, advice requests Rabbi is challenged with
continuously. How often, as our Rabbi does he have to take a
stand on an issue, which has been treated in one manner for
centuries, and now due to new evidence and new thinking
another perspective comes to light? From acceptance of
gay individuals being ordained, to eating kitniyot on Pesach,
Rabbi is constantly challenged and asked for his opinion.
It takes courage to share your thoughts, especially when they
may differ with the general consensus and then to be able to
leave room for the opposing viewpoint to be presented.
Many years ago, after a few initial board meetings, I went
to the Rabbi and said, “ I don’t know if this is the right place
for me”. There is a lot of contention and opportunity for
real dialogue is minimal. Rabbi said, “Let’s see what I can
do”. He came to the next meeting with a copy of Talmud
and he explained to us, the text of torah is written in the
middle of this page and flanking both sides are commentary.
Commentary, on the right, commentary on the left, varying
viewpoints are part of our culture, we have to give each
other the opportunity to express our thoughts.
Needless to say, if you have attended his Herbert Tarr classes,
Hartman classes, Sisterhood Lunch and Learn, listened to
his sermons, you would most likely agree that he is a man
who puts great effort into choosing the right words and
making the content educational, meaningful, engaging and
sometimes very funny. Many people who are not members
have been to our services and commented, “ Your Rabbi is a
great orator!”
Rabbi Lucas, the scholar, dugma esheet
Very early, one freezing, sleety morning I was meeting Donna
in her office, Rabbi was rushing out. He was going to do an
unveiling in New Jersey. It wasn’t even for a member, it
was for a relative of a member. Officiating funerals during
storms, coming to the side of members in ERs during the
night, finding just the right words to sum up the life of a
congregant’s loved one, looking for the glue to counsel a
relationship back together, helping our congregation see the
light after the darkness of 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, financial
disasters, dispensing tzedakah wisely and so on…yes, our
rabbi spends a lot of time on that precipice watching over us.
Rabbi Lucas, the caregiver, dugma esheet
On a personal level, being a member of this congregation
with Rabbi as the spiritual leader has helped my identity as a
Jew grow. We value tradition, we stand up for Israel, and we
encourage a more inclusive community. Rabbi Lucas assured
me over time I will be comfortable speaking from the bima,
his classes with sisterhood encouraged me to read torah.
On that trip to Israel, I learned about the making of tefillin
and tzitzit. I learned what wearing a talit meant to Rabbi.
This sharing encouraged me to become a bat mitzvah and
appreciate the ability, as a woman, to wear a talit during our
services. Thank you Rabbi, for shedding light along the road
of my Jewish journey.
Rabbi Lucas, mentor, dugma esheet
I could add more and I am sure all of you can as well. You
received reflection cards along with the Gala invitation. This
is a great opportunity for sharing with us your experience
with our Rabbi.
Pirkei Avot, Rabbi Shimon said: There are three crowns…
the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood and the crown
of sovereignty—but the crown of a good name surmounts
them all.

Fashion-Forward &
Paying it Forward
by Risa C. Doherty
H
ave a flair for fashion? Ever dreamed of
becoming a personal shopper? Looking to do
a mitzvah? Consider volunteering for Beautiful
Memories Gemach.
The term gemach is derived from “gemilut chasadim”
which means “acts of kindness.” Beautiful Memories
Gemach was launched about a year and a half ago by
Dr. Beth and Mark Krieger and provides dressy clothes
for men and women for simchas and business attire
for those in need, regardless of religion or ethnic
background. TBS was one of many local synagogues
and Jewish community organizations present at the
opening.
The gemach is housed in Young Israel of New Hyde Park,
and open Monday through Thursday by appointment,
with evening appointments available up until 8 p.m. to
afford shoppers confidentiality.
Although the inventory is changeable, it has an
extensive selection of gowns, dresses, suits, sports
jackets and accessories, including designer labels and
other high-end clothing.
Even though the gemach is happy to receive gently
used or new donations (including any donations of
children’s clothing for shipment to Israel), what it
needs most right now is “gemachateers” to volunteer
to help shoppers coordinate and complete their new
ensembles. These volunteers can put shoppers at ease,
add a personal touch and make their experience special
at the gemach, so that they feel as though they are
shopping with a helpful friend. Gemachateers will not
be asked to sort clothing or do any “heavy lifting”—
they’ll be there to help shop!
The Kriegers formed the gemach to honor family and
friends who helped them create beautiful memories.
Their goal is to create beautiful memoires for others.
When I walked in there, my arms loaded down with
my mother’s most beautiful gowns and suits and my
father’s suits and tuxedo, I realized that they could be
put to no better use than to be worn to simchas once
again. Mark told me “when you see what they look like
and how they feel…you can see it on their faces.” Some
shoppers have confided in him that they have never
been treated with such respect and ever catered to as
they were when they visited the gemach. It is a labor
of love.
Mark maintains a list of gemachateers he calls upon
in advance, as needed. Gemachateers need not be
available at any regular set time.
If you are interested in making a difference contact
Mark at 917-703-4694.
The gemach is located at 264-15 77th Avenue (right
behind Ralph’s Ices on Union Turnpike in Glen Oaks and
a block south of LIJ).

Why not sponsor a Sunday minyan breakfast?
Your contribution will celebrate a simcha or honor the memory of a loved one.
In addition, a particularly meaningful way to commemorate a milestone in your life is to
sponsor a Kiddush on Saturday morning, thereby sharing your simcha with the Temple family.
Please call: David Oestreich at 621-3046 or the Temple office at 621-2288 for details or to reserve a date.

BethRock USY is going strong! by Robin Feldman
Chapter members who attended elections.
BethRock USY is going strong! With an average of 20 youths
per event, we continue to grow and offer great programming
for our teens.
Our membership in USY has increased this year almost
50%. We grew from 26 members to 39! In addition to our
great chapter programming which has included a chapter
overnight, krav maga, making sandwiches for a local shelter
L to R: Anna Solasz, Abi Ward, Abe Browne, Josh Shlefstein
and more, we continue to be an amazing presence on the
divisional level as well.
On April 12, four BethRock USY members ran for divisional
board positions. Each was successfully elected to their
positions for the 2016-2017 year. Our own Abi Ward was
elected to the position on Social Action/Tikun Olam Vice
President.
BARNET & ANNETTE OSTROW EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
by Helayne Cohen, Early Childhood Center Director
I
t's hard to believe that our
school year is coming to
an end with just a few
more weeks until our
last day celebrations.
In the meantime, we're not letting any grass
grown under our feet!
The month of May brings with it plenty of
time to play outside while we enjoy the
warmer temperature and sunny days. We
also have so many wonderful things taking
place inside, as well. We are looking forward
to spending "Shabbat Twogether" with our
toddlers whose families will join us and our clergy
for a Shabbat celebration complete with challah,
grape juice and prayers. This is a special time for parents
to see how much fun their children have at school while
learning so very much!
Our busy month continues with our fantasy trip to
Israel in honor of Yom Ha'atzmaut. The children will be
constructing the Kotel, placing their special messages
between the bricks. Additionally, each classroom
will be transformed into a place/event in Israel.
We'll have Israeli dancing, a visit to a falafel
stand, a trip to a museum, boot camp and
happy birthday Israel cupcake decorating.
And, we'll be back on our El Al flight in time
for dismissal. This is truly a magical day that
the children and early childhood center staff
enjoy so much.
Speaking of our wonderful staff: the Parent's
Association will be hosting a "Staff Recognition"
brunch to honor the staff for their dedication and
commitment to our children and families. This is always a
lovely way to start the day!
So, as you can see, we're not nearly done yet! We have
so many educational and spiritual events during this busy
month of May and are excited about each and every one!
Registration for the 2016-2017 school year is in full swing
and we are looking forward to welcoming back our retuning
families and the many new families joining our school too.
For registration information contact us at (516) 621-1171.
Playtime in Room 1
Mom's/Special Person Visiting Day is another special event
for our three and four year old children. We plan this special
day right before Mother's Day and honor our guests with a
"tea". The children assist in the preparation by decorating
a welcoming banner and making tea sandwiches! The
morning spent together is concluded with songs and a
story at circle time. A lovely day enjoyed by all!

We are so excited to be celebrating
Israel’s 68th birthday at our Yom

MEN’S CLUB CORNER
by Michael Mand, President
A
sk anyone who provides health care services
and he or she will tell you that one of his (or
her) favorite words in “uneventful”, or, if you
prefer two words, you can try “without incident”. Well,
“uneventful” will never be used to describe our Men’s
Club, and maybe, just maybe, that’s a good thing.
We left off last month anticipating the coming of our
annual Scotch Tasting evening, Thursday, April 7; always
a crowd-pleaser. (No, there is no additional “service”
on Shabbat announcing its imminent arrival but, based
upon past success, perhaps there should be.) Once
again, our guest speaker was the always dynamic,
Spike McClure who has a master’s degree in Whiskey.
He came well-prepared, as expected, and dressed for
the occasion in a Scotch kilt outfit as well. (Luckily, he
has the legs for it!) I’m happy to report that forty-two
Men’s Club members and their guests attended the
“lecture”. I’m sure free samples of the merchandise
helped persuade some of us who were on the cusp to
attend. (A little dental humor…very little.)
Sunday, April 10, was Mitzvah Day, on which our Men’s
Club joined with the Brotherhood of Temple Sinai in
packing Passover boxes for Project Ezra. The boxes
were decorated by a youth group from Temple Sinai.
Project Ezra delivers these packages to Jews living on
the Lower East Side who might otherwise not enjoy the
holiday in a meaningful manner. Stuart Goldberg, the
Treasurer of the Brotherhood and I went to the ShopRite in Plainview and picked up the bulk of the food,
packed up our respective vehicles – his SUV, my Fiat
– and brought them to Temple Sinai. The remainder
of the food for the packages was donated by the
Streit’s Company. A shout-out to both of them for
their generosity and support. Shop-Rite not only gave
us a great price, the store chipped in further by taking
$100.00 off the bill as a contribution to our cause. And
I would be remiss if I did not thank both Sisterhoods for
additional contributions to the project. I don’t want to
be remiss, so, Thank you, Sisterhoods!
If I’m to be totally honest, when I first approached
our members about our involvement in the Mitzvah
Day project, the idea was not met with overwhelming
enthusiasm. Many of our members took the position
that mitzvoth should not be confined to one day,
absolving us of our responsibility the remainder of
the year. (This “controversy” was to become food for
thought at my family’s Passover seder.) Nonetheless,
I’m told enough of our members lent a helping hand
to make the task meaningful. (I wasn’t there – I have
office hours on Sundays.)
So much for the events that have already taken place
as I write this. Now for the speculation section of the
article:
The latest installment of our Defensive Driving course
took place on Monday, April 11. And our roads are more
navigable “without incident” because of the efforts of
our treasurer, Alan Goldstein, who makes sure that this
class in traffic safety and awareness continues on a
regular basis.
On Sunday, April 17, we honored our immediate past
president, Steve Goldenberg as our Man-of-the-Year at
the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs annual regional
dinner at the Crest Hollow Country Club. Certainly, if
there ever was a more deserving honoree, I don’t know
of him. Steve set the example last year as Men’s Club
president that will be followed for years to come. (Not
to forget that he is a great friend to all of us as well.)
Last month we announced that Matthew Benak was
chosen as our Youth Honoree. After some additional
consideration, we decided that we could not overlook
the contributions to Jewish youth activities made by
Mollie Bartell and we agreed to have two honorees this
year for the last time. Congratulations to all three. We
are very proud of you.
A couple of upcoming events to put on your calendars:
Thursday, May 19, is Beer and Pretzel Night. This year
I have invited a brew master from the Oyster Bay
Brewery in, you guessed it, Oyster Bay to come talk to
us about beer. I didn’t actively participate in the Scotch
tasting – I was a spectator, but I never pass up the
opportunity to sample some beer. And neither should
you.
And don’t forget the End-of-the-Year BBQ/Texas Hold
‘em night on Thursday, June 9. (I prefer 7-card high-low
with a buy, but it wasn’t my choice.) More about this
event and a Year-in-Review in my next and final article
next month.

and April. On March 29, Dr. Joie Jager-Hyman
shared some of the secrets on how to apply to college
and how to present the best portfolio of educational
achievements and extra-curricular activities. Rabbi Kerbel,
Rabbi Jensen and Mike Hirsch presented topics on leadership
reflecting the statement in the Talmud "that all Jews are
responsible for one another." On April 11, Detective Pamela
Stark, Dr. Norman Fried and Erica Katz educated our youth
on the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse and addiction.
As Machon moves into the home stretch, students will
celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut on May 2 participating in a
Jerusalem U program and continue and complete their
year-long program on Israel advocacy with the Center for
Israel Education. Educator Rich Walter will share with our
students information on issues relating to Israel's history,

by Steven Goldenberg
T
he big TBS event of the year is nearly here! Recall
that the festivities commenced in early autumn,
at which the 50th Anniversary DVD was shown,
with members reminiscing about the “days of the
giants” and sharing insights. There have been activities
geared to our youth, including special celebrations in
the ECC and our Hebrew School.
65th
The celebration weekend will include a special
congregational Kiddush on May 21. Of course, the
capstone event for our 65th Anniversary will be the
Gala, honoring Rabbi Alan Lucas, on Sunday, May 22 at
5 PM. Couvert is $250/person. You can also place an ad
in our electronic journal—ad prices range from $36 for
a name listing to $3600 for a Diamond Page. Cards have
been mailed to all families, but are also available in the
Main Office to share a special memory, insight, laugh,
Todah Rabah, or just some kind words for Rabbi Lucas
on his milestone birthday year, and in acknowledging
his shepherding this congregation for 22 wonderful
years (with more to come, and in good health). Special
thanks to all of the members of the Gala Committee,
co-chaired by Lisa Levine and Karen Spitalnik.
Anniversary Gala
We are in the homestretch in preparations
for the Gala for Temple Beth Sholom's 65th
Anniversary, honoring our own Rabbi Alan
Lucas. The evening will have great music,
delicious food, a beautiful ballroom, a
worthy honoree, and many surprises to
delight you. We hope to acknowledge all
of those congregants who are celebrating
65th anniversaries and birthdays this year.
See you on May 22nd!
Also note another celebration for the entire family,
Israelfest, scheduled for Sunday, May 15, 12-4PM at
North Hempstead Beach Park in Port Washington.
Parking and admission are free. Meat and dairy Kosher
food will be available for purchase. There will be
carnival games, activities for children, with DJ Gil Aldad.
$15 raffle for a chance to win two tickets to Israel. The
event is being co-sponsored by TBS and other local
synagogues, in conjunction with the Sid Jacobson JCC.
A reminder that Journal Ads are due on
May 1st.
Karen Spitalnik and Lisa Levine
And please join so many of us from TBS with tens of
thousands of others at the annual Israel Day Parade in
Manhattan on Sunday, June 5. Details to follow.
Plenty of things happening at TBS and in the community
this spring. Between the arms of the synagogue and
the greater community at large, there are innumerable
activities at which to enrich and connect.
Cemetery Prices Set To Increase
Prices for cemetery plots in the Temple Beth Sholom
section of New Montefiore Cemetery are scheduled to
increase effective July 1st 2016. Prices for family plots (4
or more graves) will be increased to $2,000 per grave.
Prices for single or double plots will be increased to
$3,000 per grave. We have determined that the Temple
is providing a significant discount, to its members, on
the prices for plots in the Temple area. This discount is
approximately 50% to 25% lower than the prices that
the cemetery currently sell plots for in this area of the
cemetery.

Place a Yahrzeit Candle in your window
and recite the following personal
meditation as you light it:
As I light this Yahrzeit Candle, I vow never to
forget the lives of the Jewish men, women, and
children who are symbolized by this flame. They
were tortured and brutalized by human beings
who acted like beasts; their lives were taken in
cruelty. May we be inspired to learn more about
our Six Million brothers and sisters as individuals
and as communities, to recall their memory
throughout the year, so that they will not suffer a
double death. May we recall not only the terror of
their deaths, but also the splendor of their lives.
May the memory of their lives inspire us to hallow
our own lives and to live meaningful Jewish lives
so that we may help to insure that part of who
they were shall endure always.

TBS Scouts hold Open House by Steven Cahn
New friends, new skills, new opportunities for growth.
Sunday, May 22nd from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM, Roslyn
area boys in 5th through 9th grade can try out new skills
through hands-on exhibits and displays. Camping, firebuilding, first aid, and outdoor skills are just a few
of our more traditional activities. But Scouting’s new emphasis on STEM skills (Science,
Technology, Engineering, & Math) puts a new
spin America’s largest youth organization.
See why college admissions counselors look
for Eagle Scouts to distinguish boys from the
rest of the crowd. We’ll have activities for
the boys, and a special parents’ orientation.
Since 1910, Scouting has focused on fun, providing the lessons of environmental conservation, meaningful community service, and strong
life-long friendships – using the great outdoors as our
classroom. Scouting has always been a way to have each
young boy accept responsibility for his endeavors – he
becomes self-confident and self-reliant. Adults are there
for guidance, but the boys run their own program, teach
and learn scouting skills, and explore the options ahead of
them for education and careers.
Week he said, “Our strength is in our diversity, but we’re
proud that the TBS troop has led the way in ‘Jewish Scouting’ in Nassau County through the decades.” What is Jewish Scouting? It is always mindful of the Jewish calendar,
and puts an extra focus on tikun olam – repairing
the world. We also have a greater percentage
of boys earn their Ner Tamid and Etz Chaim
awards than any troop in Nassau County.
Come join us on Sunday, May 22nd for about
an hour – show up any time from 9:30 AM
to 1:30 PM. We'll be at Christopher Morley
Park, in the campgrounds. After the attendant's booth, make a left into the parking lot,
and go all the way to the end. There will be
plenty of signs to point you in the right direction.
Call Steven Cahn at 516-621-3890 for details, or for
a rain date.
Troop 267 has always been open and diverse. All boys are
welcome, and parents can become as involved as they like.
Nearly 500 boys of all religions, races and orientations
have passed through Beth Sholom’s Scouting program.
TBS congregant Steven Cahn has been associated with the
troop since 1992. In a recent interview with the Jewish

U
JA’s tagline of GOOD TOGETHER perfectly
captures the important relationship between
UJA and Temple Beth Sholom. Last week, I
along with my husband Nathan, TBS congregants, Jon
and Susan Held, and Stuart Tauber (UJA’s Vice President)
attended UJA”S Leadership Mission to Washington
DC. This was an extraordinary experience, chaired by
Jon Held, where 100 Jewish leaders from the NY area
met with legislators to advocate for issues important
to the Jewish community. We lobbied to protect the
Supplemental Nurtition Assistance Program (SNAP)
– formerly known as Food Stamps from further cuts.
Additionally, we advocated for: maintaining the US’s
commitment to Israel’s qualitative military edge in the
region, enhancing Israel’s security, and ensuring that US
Schumer, Steve Israel and Peter King, to name just a few
congressional leaders.
Jon Held’s leadership of this trip is one of many positions
he’s had at UJA. He is completing his term as chair of
UJA’s LI Government Relations committee and will soon
assume the role of UJA’s Long Island Chairman. In this
capacity he will oversee the incredible scope of services
UJA’s nonprofits provide, as well as oversee UJA’s LI
campaign. When I asked Jon why he so passionately
supports UJA he said, “All Jews have an obligation to care
for Jews and others when they are in need. No other
organization can provide the levels of service here at
home or around the world that UJA makes possible each
year.”
UJA is responsible for the LI Shaliach program and
Partners in Caring programs from which
our community has benefitted. Presently,
UJA is assisting TBS in becoming an even
more inclusive community. Professionals
from UJA planned a site visit for Hebrew
School Director, Sharon Solomon and
myself, to a fully inclusive synagogue, in
White Plains, with education initiatives
that can enhance our present model.
Last month I held the first Hebrew School
Inclusion Committee Meeting in my
home. UJA secured the guest speaker,
Ellen Forrest, an authority on inclusion
programs and a TBS member. This past
week, UJA had Lisa Friedman, Education
Director of Temple Beth El in NJ and a
special needs consultant address our
congregants about what it means to be a
fully inclusive synagogue. She also made
herself available as a resource to our
educational team.
I can go on about all the work UJA does in
our backyard during disasters such as Sandy,
building trauma centers in Israel, ensuring
national emergency preparedness. There
is great need for tikkun olam, we know this, and thankfully
UJA is there to serve.

unabated. We sought an increase in Holocaust survivor

Highlights of the trip included: meeting with Tina Tchen,

these new campers come from referrals and we want to
thank all of our veteran BSDC families who continue to
encourage their friends to join us at camp. We are also
focused on hiring the final members of our outstanding
staff who will give these campers the wonderful
experiences that they will remember for a lifetime.
Summer cannot come quickly enough!

une 2,2016, the Sisterhood of Temple Beth
Sholom will honor Daniela Klein as the 20152016 honoree for Torah Fund. Daniela has been
an associate Patron of Torah Fund for many years.
Daniela has been an active member of our Sisterhood
for more than 30 years.
Her many talents have been
shared with many of our
women as a teacher in the
Sisterhood morning classes.
Her leadership in Sisterhood
helped strengthen the North
Shore Branch of Women’s
League. She became President of the Branch in 1996 and
served for 2 years.
She is the mother of 3 children, Barak, Alexa and Jordana
who all attended and graduated from the Solomon
Schechter High School of Long Island. They followed
in their Mother’s footsteps (and their father’s) who
graduated from the Ramaz High School in Manhattan.
Daniela is a regular attendant at Shabbat services
and has inspired many of our young women who are
leaders at Temple Beth Sholom.
I don’t want to take away from Rabbi Lucas who will
present Daniela with her Torah Fund honoree award
from Sisterhood on June 2nd so please come to hear
about this wonderful member of Temple Beth Sholom
and give her a mazel-tov!!!
