From the Rabbi’s Desk
Shalom,
Summer is a time that many
of us take our vacations. Many
of us slow down, but things are
still going strong at Temple
Beth Sholom. We had a
wonderful June and celebrated
many
s’machot
(joyous
occasions). We also said goodbye to our long time Religious
School principal, Geri Weiss.
Thank you, Geri, for your many
years of service to Temple Beth
Sholom. I know that you will
still be here at Temple, so it
really isn’t good-bye. Perhaps
we can use the Hebrew—
shalom, and say “hello” and
welcome your role as regular
congregant [if there is such a
thing!]. We also welcome our
new Religious School Principal,
Karen Feit. She has many years
of experience and is very
enthusiastic about joining us
and meeting all of you. I am
hoping that you can meet her in
August at one of our Shabbat
services and speak at length to
her during our oneg. I assure
you that this will be a smooth
transition and we are in good
hands!
By the time you read this, I
will be away on vacation. In
the meantime, Cantor Sandy
Horowitz will be around for
the first two weeks of July. If
there is a rabbinic emergency
Rabbi Goldwasser may be
available if you need him at
(718) 225-4678, and I have also
asked Rabbi Ted Tsuruoka of
Temple Isaiah of Great Neck to
cover any emergencies that
might come up during the last
week of July. He can be
reached at (516)-791-6008.
I hope you all have a
wonderful summer,
L’hitraot,
Rabbi Sharon Ballan

The Stained Glass Panels
In Our Lobby and Sanctuary
Bazaar 2013 News
Barbara Gandelman &
Joy Bobrow
(The following is taken from an article by the late
Rabbi Herschel Levin)
“As you ascend the stairs from the 172nd
Street entrance into the Sanctuary lobby, you see
the sh’ma panel on your left, “Hear, O Israel:
The Lord our God, the Lord is One
(Deuteronomy 6.4).” It is the very cornerstone
of Jewish belief, inscribed in Hebrew. Above the
words is a never ending circle to emphasize the
eternalness of God. The bright colors stress the
joyous aspect of this proclamation: the soft blues
add solemnity.
As you enter the sanctuary, go to the center
aisle and look up at the high series of panels on
your left. They were inspired by the modern
prayer, “O Lord, how can we know Thee?
Where can we find Thee? Thou art as close to us
as breathing and yet are farther than the
farthermost star. Thou art as mysterious as the
vast solitudes of the night and yet art as familiar
to us as the light of the sun…” The panels
attempt to evoke the mystery of God’s
presence…..
The two tremendous panels on either side of
the pulpit represent the traditional Hashkivenu
prayer, “Cause us, O Lord our God to lie down
each night in peace., and to awaken each
morning to renewed life and strength…”The
blues, reds, dark greens and purples are
suspended in the middle portion of lighter
blues, grays and yellows depicting the peaceful
night between dusk and daybreak. The panels
are meant to evoke the solace and peace one
comes to find in the Temple…
The right series of panels represent the
joyous Psalm 98, “O sing unto the Lord a new
song: for He hath done marvelous things.” You
may find in these panels the ancient musical
instruments mentioned in the psalm:”…..the
harp and the voice of melody….trumpets and
sound of the horn before the lord…..”
The colors of the right series of windows
lead you back to the entrance panel, and give a
feeling of unity to the entire series.

It is that time of year again when we need to begin
planning for Bazaar. This year it will be held the first
weekend of December 2013 which is Saturday, Dec 7th,
Sunday, December 8th, and Monday December 9th. Your
help is urgently needed in obtaining new merchandise for
ALL of our booths - children's clothes, women's clothes,
men's clothes, health and beauty, toys, the country store,
"as is", women's boutique, jewelry, the holiday store, and
linens, one of a kind, and the dollar store.
The more that is donated to Temple, the less costly
Bazaar will be to run. It’s not too early to ask your local
merchants for donations when you patronize their stores.
Remember, think about all of the shops and restaurants
that you frequent and ask for donations of gift certificates
and any leftover merchandise. Also don’t forget to check
your closets for items you have and know you will never
use - bring them on down. We can sell anything!
We will also need volunteers to chair some booths. We
will need booth chair people to help displaying and setting
up and pricing the merchandise. Of course, we also need
volunteers to work in the booths when Bazaar is
open. Please call the Temple office and let Carole or Rita
know that you are interested and “Come on down!” We are
already beginning the process of requesting donations
from wholesalers and retailers. But your help is necessary
to make Bazaar 2013 a huge success
If anyone has any ideas for a booth that we may not
have had in the past, please let us know – we are very
interested in new ideas.
Also, shortly after the High Holidays we will be
sending out letters of introduction for you to present to
your local merchants when you ask for merchandise or gift
certificates or…. The sky is the limit!! We will also
be requesting your financial assistance in the form of
"Angel Money" so that we can minimize the costs to
Temple for any merchandise we have to purchase.
Let us make Bazaar 2013 the best one yet!
Thank you.

Notes
From
The Cantor
“We all got a peace to bring, we all got a song to
sing, just open your heart and let it out…”
(From the song “B’tzelem Elohim”)
Summer is a time of transition, and this summer
we bid farewell to outgoing Religious School
Principal Geri Weiss, as we welcome Karen Feit who
is joining us as our new Principal. Heartfelt thanks
as well to our youth choir for lending their voices
during the June closing ceremonies, when we sang a
special song in Geri’s honor – and thank you choir
singers young and adult alike, for enhancing so
many of our services during the year!
Unbelievably, the High Holidays will be in full
swing right after the next issue of the Voice is
published. The music of the High Holidays sounds
different from any other time of year, yet it quickly
becomes familiar as certain musical themes are
repeated throughout Rosh Hashannah and Yom
Kippur.
While some of the music is intended
specifically to be listened to, much of it is meant to
be enhanced by the community of worshippers – by
each of you. I urge everyone to be an active
participant this year by singing along with the
prayers. As the old commercial goes, “Try it – you’ll
like it!”
Wishing you a wonderful summer –
b’shalom,
Cantor Sandy
THE THANK YOU GERI SONG
(It is sung to the tune of Adon Olam)
This song was presented to Geri Weiss on behalf of
the students of Temple Beth Sholom Religious School,
in appreciation for the many years of dedication, hard
work, and sheer joy that you brought to us all.
CHORUS:
Oh Geri (Oh Geri) we’ll miss you so (we’ll miss you so)
We’re so sad (we’re so sad) to see you go (to see you go)
Our time with you (our time with you) was lots of fu-un
Thank you Geri, see you soon, shalom, shalom!
(Verse 1) The model Seder, the Day of Mitzvah,
Tu Bishevat and Chanukah-ah- ra-a-ma,
You taught us to become good Jews,
You’re in our hearts, for all our lives we’ll think of you!
(Verse 2)
You’ve helped us learn, you’ve helped us grow,
When we need you you’ve been there – we thank you so;
With apples and crafts, and that ol’ school bell,
Wherever you go, we hope you know we wish you well!
From Our New Religious School
Principal, Karen Feit
Shalom,
Please allow me to introduce myself: I am Karen Feit,
your new Religious School Principal. I have already met
some of you in my interviews and visits to TBS, but I am
looking forward to meeting each of you and getting to
know you and your children as soon as possible. Let me
tell you a little about myself and about the journey that
has brought me to Temple Beth Sholom.
Throughout my working life, I have been one of
those who used whatever skills and resources I had to
work in multiple venues. I have taught adult basic
education and subbed in the public schools. Instead, it
would be more accurate to say that Jewish education
chose me.
I was a graduate student in political science when I
became active in Hadassah. I lead a study group on
women’s issues including women in Israel, Egypt, and
women who believed in Islam or Judaism. That resulted
in becoming my local chapter president and attending a
Hadassah National Convention, where I had an
epiphany. I heard Giora Feidman in concert at the
convention.
The music stirred something in my
consciousness. I wanted to be able to communicate my
memories of Jewish family and synagogue life to my son.
Music had been my entry point. I came home, joined the
local Conservative synagogue, and enrolled my son in
the Religious School. When I asked who taught the music
program, since there was no cantor, I found out there
wasn’t any. I volunteered, but instead the principal hired
me. From there I began to teach grade 5, tutor bnai
mitzvah, and teach in other synagogues as well. I was
thrilled to find that not only could I earn money, but I
could also make a difference in people’s lives by using
my skills in Jewish communal life.
I have been blessed to combine my love of Judaism
and Israel with what I do professionally and how as
spend my time in the volunteer world. In the 30+ years
that have followed, I have worked in Reform,
Conservative,
Modern
Orthodox,
and
in
Reconstructionist congregations all over the New York
metropolitan area. I am looking forward now to working
with you and your children in the Religious School as
Principal.

From The President
The summer is here and I want to wish everyone a
safe and healthy summer. Take a moment to enjoy this
time with your family. Before you know it, the High
Holidays will be right around the corner. I always felt
that it was a great honor to participate in any service,
especially the High Holiday Day Services. If you are
asked to participate in a service, please accept this honor.
I would like to thank Geri Weiss for her years of
service as our Religious School Principal. For the past
thirteen years, Geri has ensured the Jewish education of
our children. We are looking forward to seeing her in
other capacities at Temple. We will be welcoming Karen
Feit as our new Principal. Don’t forget that we still have
services during the summer. These services are led by our
own congregants and are very enjoyable.
I would also like to thank Sisterhood for the
successful Rummage Sale in May. As a result, Sisterhood
donated $3,000 to the Temple. We also received $1,000
from Men’s Club and $750 from the Religious School.
These donations are much appreciated.
We are gearing up for Bazaar. If you are able to chair
a booth or know of places that might donate
merchandise, please contact Joy Bobrow, Barbara
Gandelman or myself.
I would like to wish Rita a speedy recovery. She will
be having knee surgery over the summer.
Have a great summer!
Adam Gandelman, President
May Rummage Sale a Great Success
Sisterhood's rummage sale this year was a spectacular
success; we raised a little over $3,000. There are so many
people to thank who helped to make this a success, all of
the Temple members, friends and BBYO members who
assisted in Rummage setup and all of the Temple
members who assisted at the Rummage sale on Monday
and Tuesday. A special thank you to Adam Fertig for
being "the man" on Monday, to Jose and Santos whose
assistance in sorting the clothes during the year and then
setting up the tables always helps to make our events
function smoothly, and to o to those anonymous donors
who so generously donated their gently used clothing so
that we had wonderful items to sell. Remember, our next
Rummage sale is Election Day - we need your
clean/gently used clothing. Please don't forget to tell
your friends and family
The following is a list of those volunteers, without
whose assistance, we could not have managed: Joy
Bobrow, Chair, Paul Veltre, Barbara, Danielle & Joseph
Gandelman, Norma Benvenuto, Joe & Dora Althaus,
Adison Lemmon, Paul Coburn, Jacob, Matthew &

Board of Trustees Meeting

The Board of Trustees met on Monday, June 10,
2013. The Board passed the May Financial Report.
Temple membership remained steady at 159
member units this month. The President and Senior
Executive Vice President of the Korean American
Association of Greater New York formally
addressed the Board in order to introduce
themselves and their organization, and to express
their interest in our building in order to better serve
the large population of Korean Americans
concentrated in the Flushing area. They emphasized
that they are not in a hurry and they are willing to
work with our needs over a period of time. Barbara
Gandelman, Religious School Board Chair,
presented their candidate for new Religious School
Principal, Karen Feit. The Board approved a oneyear contract from 7/1/13 – 6/30/14. The Religious
School presented the Board with a check of $750.00
to Temple as a result of the Walkathon on Mitzvah
Day. Emily Costa was named as this year’s recipient
of the Dr. Josh Kupferberg Crane Lake Camp
Scholarship. Sisterhood presented the Board with a
check of $3,000.00 to Temple as a result of the
Memorial Day Rummage Sale. New Board member,
Joe Althaus, has volunteered to work on Use of
Building and will team up with Adam Gandelman
to learn the contracts, etc. Jim Kettig, House
Committee Chair reported the work on the air
conditioner to the Ballroom has been completed.
Sharon Katz, Long Range Planning Chair reported
on the flurry of activity occurring this past month,
including a productive meeting with Marathon
Jewish Center, and renewed interest in merger talks
with Bayside Jewish Center. Fay Schildkraut,
Membership Committee Chair, reported on several
great ideas for getting the word out about our
various free services to local residential
communities, and outreach has been made to local
colleges to offer free High Holiday tickets to college
students.

From The Men’s Club
Shalom,
The Men’s Club would like to thank everyone who
continues to support the Men’s Club and Temple Beth
Sholom. Without your participation, Temple Beth Sholom
would not be as reviving as we currently are able to be.
The Men’s Club had some great events this past year
including a Shul-In last November and a Bowl-a-thon this
past April in which everyone had a great time. This year
we will be focusing on events geared for adults:
 The Men’s Club is looking to organize a Bus Trip to
Resort World in the fall. Before we can commit to
the Bus Trip, we would need to see how many
people would be interested. The cost would be $25
Per Person with a $15 Coupon for slot play and a $5
coupon for food.
To cover the cost of the
transportation, we need to have at least 30 members
attend. If you are interested in participating, please
contact
Eric
Bernstein
or
e-mail
[email protected]
 Another event that we are trying to schedule is the
Fantasy Football League. We are looking for at least
10 guys to participate in the league. The Buy-In
would be $36 which would include the Men’s Club
dues for the year. The winner would receive
bragging rights and the top 3 winners would receive
cash winnings. The remaining winnings will be
donated to the Temple. We are planning to have the
Draft Picks on September 3rd. If you are interested
in participating, please contact Mike Shapiro via
[email protected].
or
(917)482-4717.
To accommodate Men’s Club Meetings for
everyone, we will be alternating the meetings
between weekdays and weekends every other
month. The list of meeting dates and times will be
included in the September Voice.
The Video Project is still in the works and I have
collected footage but we are looking to capture more
history. If you are interested in contributing footage or an
interview, please contact Eric Bernstein at (718) 428-7127 or
e-mail [email protected].
The Men’s Club would like to wish everyone a Healthy
and Happy Summer and we look forward to seeing
everyone in September.

Sisterhood
Corner
It has been a wonderful year! Our Memorial Day
Rummage Sale was a huge success. I would like to
thank Adam Fertig and Joy Bobrow for helping to
ensure the success of Rummage. I would also like to
thank all of the volunteers that came out to help with
this event. It was wonderful to see so many people
come out to volunteer, even the kids! We were able
to donate $3,000 to the Temple because of this event.
Our Sisterhood Sabbath was a truly special
evening. Thank you to Fran Goldman and Rabbi
Ballan for putting together a most heartfelt service.
We will be having a general meeting and Book
Club on Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 7:30 pm. The book
will be The 10 Second Diet by Merna Lyn. Please
come out to meet her at this very special event. We
have copies of her book that we will be selling for $20
in advance of the event. If you are interested, please
give the Temple office a call. Her book will also be
available for purchase on the day of the event. Just so
you know, we are receiving a percentage of the
proceeds from the sale of the books!!! Our Annual
Auction and Luncheon will be held on Sunday,
August 4, 2013 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Ben’s in
Bayside. Please look for the flyers for the details.
Thank you to Wendy Yasgur for organizing the
event. We hope to see everyone at these upcoming
events.
I would like to take this time to thank Geri Weiss
for all of her support of Temple Beth Sholom and of
our Sisterhood. It has been a pleasure to work so
closely with her all of these years.
I would also like to thank Elaine Larkin for her
service as Co-President for the past two years. She
will remain on the Board in the position of
Corresponding Secretary. I would also like to thank
Lyn Dipkin and Irene Rivera for their years of
service. A special thanks to Glory Einbinder who
always lends a helping hand. I am looking forward to
working with the newly installed Sisterhood Board. I
would also like to thank each and every one of you
that have helped us make these past two years as
Sisterhood Co-Presidents a success. We could not
have done any of this without all of you.
I hope that you enjoy your summer and I am
looking forward to our events that are being planned
for next year.
Sincerely,
Barbara Gandelman, Sisterhood President
