Services Rabbi Becky Silverstein USY Events
24 Iyar - 24 Sivan June 2016 Services Rabbi Becky Silverstein Bounderies and Revelation As we approach the end of the academic year and the festival of Shavuot, the image of the Israelites winding through the desert from Egypt toward Mt. Sinai is speaking to me. Throughout these seven weeks of wandering, the community complains, pushes back against Moses to establish boundaries, and learns a thing or two about the Torah they will soon receive. This, according to some commentaries, is all to prepare them to receive the Torah. Their process is a reminder of the process our students go through. Yes, they test boundaries and sometimes complain, but they also pick up a thing or two along the way. And what are we preparing them for? Their own revelation; their own moment when all of their Jewish learning will click and they will see nothing short of G-d and the Torah being handed down to them. We also know that the Israelites don’t understand all of Torah in a moment at Mt. Sinai and that the process of revelation is ongoing. May it be so for all of our students. In the fourth chapter of Pirkei Avot, we read “Ben Zoma says: ‘Who is wise? The one who learns from everyone.’” As the academic year is coming to a close, I hope that LBSRS has been a place where our students have learned from their teachers, from me, and most importantly, from each other. It is the learning from each other that will build their relationship to each other and to Judaism. What an i nc re d ibl e fe w months it has been for USY! April 1-3 PJTC USY, for the first time ever, hosted a regional kinnus ( g at h e r i n g ) of U S Ye r s f r o m Southern California, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona.

The FLAME Membership Committee As you’ll recall, about 18 months ago, we all participated in a congregational sur ve y. The results inspired the Membership Committee to look again at how we encourage Relational Judaism, and how we can support deep and meaningful relationships between and amongst our congregants. In the past few months, your hard working Membership Committee has been investigating and developing new initiatives, to support what you told us in the survey. So...are you ready? Hold on...this is going to be FABULOUS! We are launching (some would say re-launching) Shabbat dinners in the home. On Friday, August 19, families will gather, to welcome Shabbat. On Saturday, September 12, we will extend the magic of the day. We will break bread, get to know one another, explore the meaning of Judaism…in short, have beautiful and nourishing evenings. To make this a success, we need your help. Please consider hosting a few fellow congregants. Your meal can be your meal: potluck (or not), kid friendly (or not), formal (or not)…. Please consider signing up as a guest. You’ll be graciously welcomed and your soul will be nourished. If neither of these dates work for you, fear not! More dates will be available in the fall. We’ll take care of all the logistics, matching kosher requirements, kid friendly homes, very observant, NOT very observant…..you get the idea. You sign up and we’ll take care of the rest. We’ve been working hard to honor what you told us in the survey. Here’s an opportunity to help us learn, once again, from you. Join in and let’s make this a success! Email [email protected] or call Beryl Strauss, Executive Director (626) 798-1161. PJTC Board Of Directors Report May 23, 2016 Meeting The Spiritual Task Force was one of several formed as a result of the Strategic Planning process. Susan Auerbach, Chair of that task force, presented a comprehensive report of their recommendations. A plan for the implementation of certain recommendations will be presented to the Board in the near future. Faith Segal, President, has appointed Keri Axel to the position of VP-Planning, to replace Brian Mark, who has resigned. Faith has appointed Stacey Sharp as Secretary, replacing Keri. The Board approved a new mission statement for the synagogue. The statement was prepared by the Mission/ Vision Task Force. A copy of it will appear on the website and in next month’s FLAME. The Board approved the continuation of the Sponsored Gift Membership Program for another year beginning in July. Thirty-three families who joined in the first year of the program are now dues-paying members. This has resulted in over $28,000 in income received from those families in the current fiscal year. The issue of employee family leave policy was discussed. Faith will appoint a committee to consider the issue and 2 report back to the Board with their recommendations at the June Board meeting. Synagogue finances are projected to be on budget for this fiscal year. The new Facilities Committee is preparing a recommendation to the Board of various maintenance and facelift projects. This includes interior and exterior painting as well as examining the carpets and floors to assess needed repairs. Several months ago, the Board approved a project to install solar panels on the roof of the main building. The Facilities Committee is reviewing the project and, in conjunction with those who proposed the project, will soon be reporting back to the Board. Beryl Strauss, Executive Director, reported that the new website is now operational and will continue to be upgraded. Our new rabbi, Noam Raucher, will join the synagogue on July 13. Please welcome him. The next Board meeting, is tentatively scheduled for June 20 or June 22. The actual date will be announced shortly. Respectfully submitted by Jeff Landau. June 2016 The Israel Scouts Are Coming An Entertaining Evening of Israeli Songs, Dances and Storytelling Wednesday Evening, June 1 Presented by the PJTC Israel Committee 6:00 PM Delicious Israel-inspired dinner (Please RSVP to [email protected]) 7:00 PM Israeli Scouts performance 8:00 PM Bonfire and Kumsitz (musical circle) The Israel Scouts Friendship Caravan, will be returning to PJTC for the sixth year in a row. They are a talented and energetic group of seventeen-year-old Israelis, one of several such troupes travelling across North America this summer as ambassadors of the State of Israel. The ten teenagers, five girls and five boys, come from all around Israel. Their families hail from many different backgrounds: Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Yemenite, and Ethiopian. Each one brings his or her life experiences to the Caravan. When they return to Israel in the fall, they’ll be entering their senior year in high school after which they’ll be joining the Israel Defense Forces. It’s customary for the Scouts to be hosted by synagogue families for the evening after the performance. If you’d be interested in hosting a Scout or two, please contact Jeff Landau at [email protected] or (818) 952-9521.

June 2016 B'nai Mitzvah Book Club by Liz Green, Committee Chair Thursday, June 9, 7:30 PM will be the final meeting of the PJTC Book Club, due to a dwindling number of attendees. Thanks to all of you who joined us for our lively discussions and for suggesting many interesting books. Thursday, June 9 – Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie. The author concocts a fantastic fable about colliding worlds. Sometime in the near future, a storm reopens the slits between the Earth and a jinni-filled realm above. A war with familiar stakes begins. It pits reason against fear-based religious fervor, and wreaks havoc for 1,001 nights. “Courgeous and liberating…a breathless mash-up of wormholes, mythical creatures, current affairs and disquisitions on philosophy and theology,” – The New York Times Book Review. Ezra Axel, son of congregants Doug and Keri Axel, will be called to the Torah on June 18 as a bar mitzvah. He is a seventh grader at Sequoyah School in Pasadena. He has one sister (Talya, age 10), and a brother (Eli, age 8). Ezra likes to play the cello, tap, swim and mountain bike. He is an alum of the Weizmann Day School, which he attended through fifth grade. Ezra's mitzvah project is to collect gently-used children's and youth books, index them, and donate them to Beardslee Elementary, a public school in Duarte, California, which has no books in its library. He will also be honoring educators during his bar mitzvah ceremony, including those at B'nai Simcha Preschool, Weizmann Day School, the Jewish Federation Jewish Youth Orchestra, and LBSRS. A Note From The South Pasadena Juggling Club Hannah Lily Owen will be called to the Torah as a bat mitzvah on June 25, Shabbat Behaalotecha. The daughter of Andy and Jenny Owen, big sister to Sophie, and granddaughter of Jack and Debby Singer, Hannah will be the sixth person in her extended family to reach this milestone at PJTC, where she represents the family's fourth generation of membership. Hannah is an honor student, avid reader, and an accomplished dancer. As dance is dear to her heart, her mitzvah project is to raise funds for the Dizzy Feet Foundation, which was created by producer Nigel Lythgoe and director Adam Shankman to support, improve and increase access to dance education in the United States, especially for children in low-income areas. Online donations can be made via dizzyfeetfoundation.org. If you wandered into the Social Hall on Tuesday nights, you would have seen people juggling balls, clubs, rings and other objects as well as unicycling and other circus skills. The South Pasadena Juggling Club has been meeting at PJTC during the “short day” months. We are devoted to teaching these skills to others and it has been a lot of fun to have members of the PJTC community; kids after Hebrew School, USY members, and some adventurous PJTC adults join us. With the longer days, we have moved to our “summer home,” the South Pasadena Library lawn, on El Centro between Fairview and Diamond from 6:00 PM-dark on Tuesdays. There is more info on our Facebook page. We invite you to join us, we provide equipment and are happy to teach beginners. Interfaith Study Group by Cecilia Fox, PJTC representative on ISG Planning Committee, with Norma Pratt The group is composed of members of Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center (Cecilia Fox & Norma Pratt are the PJTC representatives on the ISG Planning Committee) with members of All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena, and the Islamic Center of Southern California in Los Angeles. ISG meetings have been held in rotation at our institutions since 2007. Next Meeting: September 11, 5:00 to 7:30 PM at PJTC. Watch for announcement of the topic in our September FLAME, We meet to learn from each other respectfully in the spirit of friendship, and all who are interested are welcome to join us. It is a most congenial group. After the one-hour meeting we share a vegetarian potluck meal, and introduce ourselves to those at our table. We also discuss the presentation, and formulate questions. A question and answer period with the speaker follows. Please contact Cecilia Fox with questions, suggestions for programs, or to be added to our email list: [email protected]. Contact Ada Ramirez at All Saints Church for general information: (626) 583-2734, or [email protected]. The FLAME The Caring Community Program presents: Writing Your Ethical Will Thursday, June 9, at 2:00 PM Back by popular demand, this workshop is offered by Claire Gorfinkel, Coordinator of the Caring Community Program at PJTC. Every adult who has children or owns property should have a will. But does your property define who you are or how you want to be remembered? What ethical or spiritual legacy do you want to leave to your family, friends, and community? We will look at some examples of ethical wills and begin the process of writing our own. This program is free and open to the public. It will take place in Wohlmann Hall at PJTC, and refreshments will be served. For further information, call (626) 798-1161 4 June 2016 Men's Club by Andy Schwarz, President I would like to thank the members of the Nominating Committee for their work: Jerry Halpert (Chair), Fred Rotenberg, Arthur Taus, and Barry Krasner. I hope that you can attend our voting and installation of this new Board of Directors on Monday night, July 11, at 7:00 PM; we will have drinks and dessert, followed by our regular monthly board meeting. It has been a great honor to serve as Men's Club President for the past two years. That time has been very successful in helping to support the many youth programs and activities that we help fund, including USY, Louis B. Silver Religious School, B'nai Simcha Preschool, Weizmann Day School, the Jewish Youth Orchestra and the PJ Library. One last item--the Men's Club has donated funds to PJTC during the last several years for camping scholarships, Please contact Rabbi Silverstein to apply for these funds. Thank you all, Andy June will be a very active month for the PJTC Men's Club. We will start it off on Saturday night, June 4, by participating in honoring Judy and Phil Callahan for their 40 years of service to the PJTC community. The following Saturday night, June 11, the Men's Club will be serving ice cream for Shavuot. Erev Shavuot is always a fun night and I hope you can make it. On Friday night, June 17, we will honor Ezra Axel on the occasion of his bar mitzvah, and on Friday night, June 24, we will honor Hannah Owen on the occasion of her bat mitzvah. Mazel tov to the Axel and Owen families on these wonderful occasions As the Men's Club year and my term comes to an end, the following is a list of the proposed Board of Directors for the Men's Club 2016-2017 year: Board President VP Membership VP Programs VP Communications Secretary Treasurer Past President Directors for 2 Years Barry Krasner Rob Anderson Ira Blitz Jerry Halpert Fred Rotenberg Stuart Miller Jerry Halpert Robert Slotky Andy Schwarz Lou Friedman Erich Schlecht Joseph Widman Scott Van Dellen Chris Grove Simon Burrow Directors for 1 Year Honorary Board Members Jim Hogan Maury Weiss Documentary Discussion Group Thursday, June 23 7:00 PM, Lounge Israel Indivisible examines the many political twists and turns that make Israel the world’s most controversial nation. From Abram and the Promise, to the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the film examines the historical, archeological, legal and biblical evidence for the ancient and modern state of Israel. At the center of all this history is a group of people who are arguably the world’s most persecuted. The story of the many is tied together in the story of the one and that one is Israel. Join PJTN as it takes you on a historical journey to uncover the truth surrounding the controversial issue that is rooted in God’s eternal Covenant with Israel. (PJTN, Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, was founded by Laurie Cardoza-Moore and is based in Franklin, TN.)

Many many thanks to my hard working Sisters of PJTC Sisterhood who were my backbone for the last two years! Hugs to everyone, Debbie by Debbie Guest, President, PJTC Sisterhood For the last two years I have had the honor of serving as the President of Sisterhood. It is time to move on, and though I learned a lot on the job, there is always something new to discover. Lucky for us, our incoming President, Judy Callahan, requires no learning curve. The transition will be very smooth. Sisterhood exists to support the many branches of our PJTC community with fundraisers, programming, and volunteering where needed. We have a lot of fun along the way. It is a wonderful way to meet new friends or strengthen relationships with familiar faces. It is an opportunity for personal growth as we take on leadership roles or learn new skills. It is open to women of all ages. Sisterhood welcomes new ideas to enhance the experiences of our members. Come to our board meetings and get involved!

I want to thank ALL of you: the students, parents, and especially Melissa Levy and Jake Levy, who gave 150 of us a lovely evening. The décor, the food, and the entertainment were wonderful. The advance planning and practice paid off, no details were missed. On behalf of the members, parents, grandparents and friends who attended, I want to thank everyone involved. It was so very special. We are very proud of you all. 6 June 2016 It’s Time to Think about the Galpert Scholarship Award Torah Fund by Bobbi Sloan, Sisterhood V{. Rae Goodstein Memorial Torah Fund The 2015-2016 Torah Fund campaign has come to an end. We received a total of $10, 727 for the general fund and $120 for the scholarship fund. Unfortunately, we were not able to reach our goal of $12,000. I want to thank all of you who gave a donation this year. Education is one of the most important means of transferring the wealth of tradition from one generation to the next. When you contribute to Torah Fund, you are investing in the future of our children. An investment in knowledge pays the best interest! Torah Fund supports the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles, Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies in Israel, and Semenario Rabinico Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires, Thank you, once again, for supporting Torah Fund. Your generosity is sincerely appreciated. It’s that time of the year when we send out information about the Galpert Scholarship applications. The Galpert Scholarship Fund was started in 1990, and thirty awards have been given in twenty-six years! We could not be prouder! Here are snippets about two of the recipients so you can kvell over their accomplishments. I grew up with Rabbi Galpert and his teachings about the love for lifelong learning. Now that I am a professor at California State Unniversity, Northridge in Special Education in the teacher preparation and Master’s Degree programs for candidates in Special Education/Deaf Education, I hope I am successfully sharing his love and messages with future generations. I am honored and humbled to be a past recipient of this award in his name. Rachel Friedman Narr, 1996 Currently, I completed all of the course work necessary for my PsyD. I am finishing my position as a Psychology Practicum Student at the Arizona State Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona through the summer and will continue my clinical experience here as a Psychology Intern beginning in September. Once I finish my year-long internship in September 2017, I will receive my PsyD! (And hopefully move back to California!) Thank you, Rabbi Galpert and the Galpert Scholarship Committee.

The FLAME 8 June 2016 Melissa Levy article continued from page 1 teenager involved in the program) graciously hosted teens from out of town for the weekend. Many thanks to all who made this fantastic weekend possible. The rest of April was spent training for our “Eateasy, Speakeasy” event on May 1. And WOW, what a fantastic event it was! I am so proud of our youth, over 40 of whom actively participated . They learned how to cook a five-course meal, to delegate and manage time, and to tinker with recipes. The servers learned to work in teams, and to speak to adults in a friendly and professional manner (“Is everything prepared to your liking this evening?”) The decorations team implemented a beautiful vision for the look of the evening. The Charleston dance team inspired everyone to join them on the dance floor. Members of the Jewish Youth Orchestra played an excellent set. And, close to 150 members of the PJTC community came out to support this very ambitious endeavor. Members of every generation and cohort were represented, and there were smiles and looks of awe and pride across the board. A well-deserved yasher koach to our INCREDIBLE youth who each volunteered a minimum of 20 hours of their time, and most averaged close to 40, to make this event such a success. Word continues to spread, and we are grateful that donations from those who weren’t able to make the event are still coming in! They say it takes a village, right? So in addition to those 40something youth and their families: Thank you to Kaileh Pistol Doris Segall & Family Stu & Stacy Miller DeBoskey Family Rothenberg Family Guest Family Berman-Harris Family Mary Ann & Mickey Bernath* Sandy & Steven Hartford* Blitz Family Lujan Family Jeff & Anita Landau Ahuva Einstein Edie Taylor Brian & Andrea Mark Phil & Judy Callahan Enzer/Zangwill Family Carlton Family* Linda & Elliott Mazur & Family Ricki & Lonne Lane* Roz & Larry Scherr* Sharp Family Alice Shulman* Weisz Family Paula & Jeanine Svonkin & Family Bruck Family The FLAME for swooping in to save the day when table linens didn’t arrive and for helping with decorations; to Debbie Noble and Jodi Kinzler for all the last-minute shopping; to Nancy Carlton for her detailed notes after our dress rehearsal; to Sue Hogan for inspiring our dancers; to Anna Bruck for the fabric shopping; to both Paula Svonkin and Balabusta Catering for loaning us trays, stands, and waitstaff aprons; Sue Sanford for sewing Kadima server aprons; to the countless families who donated fresh citrus fruit; and to all those whose names I haven’t listed because we were so blessed to have that many people offer to help without my even having to ask: todah rabah. There are four volunteers that really stand out: I would like to make a special shout–out to Karen Levin, Jake Levy, Aaren Heller, and Ricki Lane–each of whom also spent many additional hours in the hot kitchen, helping to ensure that our youth could safely and effectively cook and serve a five-course meal for 150. A special donation has been made to Union Station Homeless Services in their honor.
