From the Desk of Rabbi Saul I. Grife
and together we’ll see where it leads! I’m so looking forward to being a part of this new learning
adventure – Tzay U’lemad: Come & Learn!”
BTBJ U: I am so proud of all the adult students who have comprised our BTBJ U program for
the past 13 years! Some have come and gone; the
overwhelming majority have been fixtures since day
one. Jewish learning is designed to be a life-long
pursuit; therefore, I am so thrilled that so many of you
have put your Jewish education as a major priority in
your lives as you pursue one of the greatest levels of
Jewish education - Torah Li’Shma: Learning for its
own sake! In honor of the recent completion of
Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz’s edition of The Talmud, we will
add a component of Talmud study to our ongoing pursuit of the meaning of Parshat HaShavuah, the
weekly Torah portions and Pirke Avot, the Teachings
of the Sages. The 63 tractates of the Talmud represent the greatest compilation of Jewish law, literature
and lore. The work of Rabbi Steinsaltz and his staff
has brought the riches of the Talmud to contemporary
Jewish students, enabling them greater access to its
text, interpretation and significance for our times.
BTBJ U has been a spirited inspiring class for well
over a decade now. Everyone is cordially invited to
join us whether you are a “once in a while” student, a
“whenever you can make it” student or a bimonthly
regular. I am happy to report that we have picked up
a number of new students in recent years. It is never
too late to further one’s Jewish education and deepen the joy of one’s Jewish identity! So join us whenever you can – without apologies or regrets - to enrich
your Jewish education – one idea, one sentence, one
lesson at a time!
Sisterhood’s Lunch and Learn Series: I have
greatly enjoyed the annual Sisterhood Lunch and
Learn series that brings us together 4 times a year for
lunch and Torah study with the eager students of our
Sisterhood group. Pirke Avot (3:3) teaches, “When
two people or more meet and do not exchange words
of Torah, they are regarded as an unfulfilled company. However, when two people or more meet and discuss words of Torah, it is believed that the Shechina
(God) dwells among them and blesses them.” I am
happy to relate that at every Sisterhood luncheon we
pursue words of Torah and further the knowledge and
commitment of our Sisterhood students from year to
year. In recognition of Rabbi Steinsaltz’s Talmudic
achievements, we will pursue a course of study next
year entitled, “Four Obscure Esoteric Lessons
from the Holy Books”. Over the course of our four
meetings we will consider a little known lesson from
four sources: the Torah, the Prophets, the Writings
“Tzay U’lemad:
Come & Learn!”
“All the mitzvot are
important… and the
study of Torah leads
to them all!”
As the school year of 5771 (2010-2011) draws to a
close, I am excited to share with you some of the
dynamic plans we have in store for learning for all
ages next year!
Teens Together!: For over 10 years, BTBJ’s
Teens Together! program has given our post Bnai
Mitzvah students a chance to continue their Jewish
education, socialize and enjoy a positive Jewish
learning experience and environment here at BTBJ a safe, secure and comfortable second home to so
many of our students. I am thrilled to report that several of our teenagers and their parents have requested that we offer an accelerated class of higher
Jewish learning so that they can enjoy the richest
Jewish learning atmosphere they possibly can within
the context of our program. Therefore, I am pleased
to announce and present the start of “Tzay U’lemad:
Come & Learn!” as a new part of Teens Together!
starting in the fall. This class, which I will direct and
teach, will be open to all of our Teens Together! students from grades 8th through 10th and also for our
students of post-Confirmation age, our 11th and 12th
graders. This course will allow us to take an inspiring journey together to explore the riches of the
Jewish heritage. Our travels will take us from Jewish
history to philosophy, through Talmud and Rashi, in
and out of Kabbalah and through whatever else calls
to us, excites us, motivates and inspires us with lots
of surprises in store! I will share the year’s syllabus and course of study at our opening session in the fall (if not before!) so everyone can get
excited about the upcoming year’s events. So
many of our students already enjoy what our Teens
Together! program has to offer. In response to the
interests of many, I am pleased to now offer this new
class for those who want to concentrate and be
exposed to a more intense level of Jewish knowledge. We hope that all of you who are interested in
this compelling venture will look forward to being a
part of it in the fall! “Tzay U’lemad: Come &
Learn!” promises to take us on an enlightening
Jewish adventure! Come take the journey with us

Rabbi Grife (continued)
T ikkun Leyl S tudy Session
& the Talmud. So come join us for the excitement of
exploring our Sifrei Kodesh, our Holy Books, on a
new level as we join together to investigate the wealth
of Jewish knowledge!
Elementary School Enrichment: This past
year I have made it a priority to pop in on our elementary classes on a regular basis with surprise visits,
candy and lessons to supplement their already strong
track of education. I am happy to report that the students so enjoy these unscheduled visits and the
excitement that pervades the room over Torah and
snacks! Next year, I look forward to doing the same
with our Aleph through Gimmel students. Sometimes
I play off the lessons that the teachers are presenting;
sometimes I bring something completely new to their
attention. So many of our young ones are so eager
to learn! You can see the joy illuminate their faces as
they are exposed to new Jewish lessons! I am happy
to be a part of it and to spring them with surprise visits to deepen their understanding and commitment to
Jewish education and life! Yasher Koach to our
educational director, Hazzan Unger, our teachers,
our Parent-Support Group and to all our supportive parents who make it a priority to actively
transmit the joys of Judaism to our children to
produce a new generation of energetic and
knowledgable Jews for the future!
As much as the Jewish people open our
sacred texts, our sacred texts have exposed us to
the riches, passion and significance of the
Jewish experience! So whether you join us once
or always, know that here at BTBJ we offer a
broad spectrum of opportunities to further our
Jewish knowledge and awareness. Remember
that some of our greatest lessons and learning
experiences occur during services – Friday
nights, Shabbat morning and holidays. These
programs always provide an opportunity to deepen our Jewish appreciation. A sound Jewish education bestows upon us the keys to the kingdom!
An involved and committed adult generation is
more likely to produce an involved and committed younger generation. Our future depends on
producing devoted knowledgeable Jews of all
ages! Here at BTBJ we strive to make every
Jewish experience as spirited, enriching and
inspiring as possible. So be a part of this grand
Jewish journey and “Tzay U’lemad: Come &
Learn” with us whenever you can!
The Jewish future depends on it! Our
Jewish souls will be glad we did!

Notes From Hazzan Arlyne Unger
Condolences
Installation of Officers
students to attend both a Dalet open-house and a
special Prophet-rama so the parents could learn
about the prophets along with their children. We
have also had a number of focused Tzedakah opportunities this year, including providing Shalach Manot
for Israeli soldiers, raising money to save retired greyhound dogs, and collecting funds for rebuilding in
Japan. Our parents and children have participated
seriously in contributing towards these significant
causes, and studied the mitzvot behind them.
As Jews, we know the importance of learning.
In fact, Torah study involves us in a life-time of learning. I am delighted that so many of our parents have
willingly joined their children in Jewish study and I
look forward next year to engaging our parents even
further in this important task.
Hazzan Arlyne Unger,
Hazzan and
Educational Director
It is hard to believe that the 5771 school year
is coming to an end! We had a year full of learning
and special events, and I am quite proud of both what
our students and our teachers have accomplished!
BTBJ Religious School is a Ner Tamid school.
This is a special designation of honor bestowed upon
us by the Auerbach Central Agency – Jewish
Outreach Partnership, an educational affiliate of
Jewish Federation. In order to earn this title, we must
have at least 75% of our faculty attending a minimum
of 12 hours of officially recognized professional
development. This professional development included attendance at the city-wide Yom Limmud (Day of
Study), whose theme was engaging families in religious school learning.
We have used this theme as a focus of our
education this year. Of course we already boast a
successful family Shabbaton, which brings parents
and children together in an informal context for
Jewish study and prayer. Many of our teachers have
increased the opportunities to involve the parents in
learning along with the children. For example, Lori
Feldstein-Gardner regularly sends home packets with
her Bet students, which the students complete along
with their parents.
We brought a large number of parents in for
our Journey to Israel program, which was a learning
opportunity both for the students and the adult volunteers. I was pleased that a number of parents chose
to attend our Pesach Around the World program,
which introduced the family to a wide variety of new
perspectives of the holiday. I hope that some of these
activities were successfully included in our families’
Seders!
Every year we invite the Primary parents to be
involved in their children’s learning at the “Parents
Day in Primary” program. Throughout the year,
numerous opportunities present themselves for the
parents of our youngest children to be engaged in
learning with their children. On the other end of
the spectrum, we invited the parents of our Dalet
I wish you all a wonderful and safe summer.
Our deepest sympathy to:
Jay Harris and family on the passing
of their beloved father and
grandfather, Nathanial Harris
Roy Stander and family on the passing
of their beloved mother, grandmother
and a long time congregant of BTBJ,
Eleanor Stander

Jonathan Picker
Men’s Club
President
I want to thank all of the officers and board of
directors for their commitment in making this a great
year. It is hard to believe the year is over. Looking
back we had a very successful year. Last week we
had our second annual steak dinner. This was an
absolutely awesome event. I would like to thank our
gourmet Chef Larry Axelrod and his fabulous crew
including Ivan Bell, David Schwartzman, Harris
Bookfor, David Nuddle, Moss Walden, and Rich
Gersh. These gentleman spent the entire day, cooking and setting up for a wonderful evening. I would
also like to send out a very special thank you to Mark
Halsman for our souvenir glasses. The food was delicious. If you have not attended the steak dinner you
definitely do not want to miss next year. I would also
like to thank Milt for all of his help with the set up and
clean up for the event.
Congratulations to Ivan Bell, the 2011 Men’s
Club Man of the Year. Ivan does so much for the
Men’s Club and for all of BTBJ. Ivan truly manifests
all the virtues that the award stands for. He works
tirelessly at all of our events including helping Larry
with food prep, along with many other projects for the
entire synagogue.
I want to remind everyone to sign up for the
Who’s Who and What They Do Directory that will be
coming out along with the Community Directory for
2011-2012. This is a great opportunity to let the
entire BTBJ Community know what you do.
For the next year I would like to challenge
folks to get involved with the Men’s Club. Come to a
meeting, play softball, have a steak and have some
fun! We have some great ideas for the next year.
Please feel free to contact me at any time.
Membership dues letters will be sent out in
the next few weeks. Please consider joining the
Men’s Club if you did not this year. If you are a new
member to the synagogue, your first year dues are
waived.
I hope everyone has a very relaxing summer
and gets rejuvenated for a spectacular new year!
B’Shalom

The contributions, cards, letters and good wishes
