Welcome New and
Returning Members!
We welcome the following congregants
From The Clergy
who have joined BHC since January:
Harry Deitch
Andrew Haines
Journey To Israel, At Any Age
Amanda Epstein & Matthew Mosgin
Todah Rabbah
The Oneg Shabbat on March 28 is
sponsored by Paula Freedman and Helen
& Edward Berkun in honor of their
granddaughter, Sara Freedman, becoming
a Bat Mitzvah and in memory of Sara’s
grandfather, Michael Freedman.
Special Note
Rabbi Sachs-Kohen is on Sabbatical,
returning to work on April 1.
Yahrzeit Reminder
To have a yahrzeit name read, call the
Temple Office or fill out a card when coming
to service. For more information call Iris,
410-764-1587, ext. 224.
Lifecycle Events
For lifecycle events and special occasions,
BHC has wonderful facilities to rent,
such as the Dalsheimer Auditorium, the
Goodwin Center and Straus Social Hall.
For information contact our Facility/Event
Coordinator, Francie Gill, 410-764-1587,
ext. 226.
Big news has been announced for the 18-26 crowd: Now, you are eligible to
participate in Birthright Israel, whether or not you travel on an organized peer-trip
during high school. For the 13 plus years history of Birthright’s free 10-day trips for
18-26 year olds, participants could not have traveled to Israel on a peer-educational
trip before. Now, if you traveled to Israel with NFTY IN ISRAEL, your camp or school,
BZD, or other organized peer trips prior to turning 18, then you are still eligible for
Birthright. This summer’s registration opened in February, but looking forward, lots
of BHC 18-26 year olds may now have another opportunity to experience the fantastic
experience that is Birthright. To plan ahead, connect with Reform Judaism’s URJ
Kesher Israel trips (whether or not you are in college) or contact your college’s Hillel.
There are lots of Birthright providers and we are happy to answer those questions
that we can. Great news. Seize the opportunity.
Speaking of opportunities, BHC loves helping our high school students travel to
Israel. Again, whether it is Reform Judaism’s NFTY IN ISRAEL or another program,
we are happy to give a small scholarship and to help you make a choice. Each year,
there are BHC high school students in Israel over the summer. A summer high school
trip to Israel is a great source for ideas and questions. And now, you can also go to
Israel later.
I was jealous in early 2014 hearing from several BHC families who traveled to
Israel at the end of 2013. I am excited that some BHC members have shared with me
upcoming trips to Israel. I am in the early stages of planning a BHC trip to Israel, led
by me. The trip will be open to BHC members of any age and your friends and family.
I have not set the time, so we are talking about some time in 2014 or 2015 even. If
you are at all interested, it is not too early to talk with me. Give me a call, stop me
in the hall, or email me, [email protected] and let me know you are curious. A
trip with your congregation has always left kids eligible for Birthright. A trip as a
congregational community is a great way for us to get to know each other better and
to share a really powerful experience together.
Sitting here in Baltimore, may we learn about Israel. One way or another, let us
journey to Israel. I am happy to discuss the possibilities for any age.
– Rabbi Busch

A Message from the President:
Peggy K. Wolf
Promote Understanding And
Increase Acceptance
On March 24, BHC’s Sisterhood presents the
54th Annual Interfaith Institute, “When There
Is No Vision, Community Will Perish.” The
history of interfaith dialogue is as ancient as the world’s religions.
Promoting understanding and increasing acceptance has and
surely will continue to require cooperation and interaction among
individuals and institutions of different faiths and belief systems.
“If we are to respect others’ religions as we would have them
respect our own a friendly study of the world’s religions is a sacred
duty.” Mohandas K. Ghandi
As Jews, our history is resplendent with prejudice even as
our commitment to acceptance and tolerance has endured. In
his book, “On Common Ground,” Rabbi Morris S. Lazaron, then
Rabbi Emeritus of BHC, shared the following story of the Jewish
community of Lubeck, Germany.
It was Sabbath morning, and the synagogue was filled with
worshipers, when through the windows came the noise of
marching men. Louder and louder and nearer and nearer it
came until the door was burst open and a group of Brown
Shirts entered. Their leader yelled: “You have weapons here!
Where are they?” “We have no weapons.” “You have weapons
here and we will find them!” They went into the rooms and
the galleries and came back and walked up the aisle and said:
“Where are the weapons?” “We have no weapons. This is a
house of God. We are at prayer.” The leader saw the curtain
before the shrine. “Here are the weapons!” He reached out
his hand, tore back the curtain, revealing the Scrolls of the
Pentateuch, sacred alike to Christian and Jew. The rabbi said,
“These are our weapons.”
My grandfather went on to write “...we have boundless capacity,
and energy and will. But we need to cast out fear and revive our
faith...Let vision and that renewal come from the age old shrines in
church and synagogue!”
Please consider attending this year’s Sisterhood Interfaith
Institute.

Why limit doing good things to just one day? For the second year,
BHC will celebrate Mitzvah Month in May. Here are just some of
last year’s Mitzvah Month accomplishments:
• Fed nearly 2,000 hungry people
• Knocked down 2,000 duckpins to raise funds for a
Maryland suicide prevention non-profit
• Provided welcome bags for people transitioning into
a home
• Planted trees and flowers at BHC and Weinberg Park
• Organized the monthly birthday party at a shelter
for women and children
This year’s projects will be just as meaningful and effective.
Mitzvah Month provides you with multiple opportunities to join
your congregation to do good. We hope that you will be part of
this important BHC project. More information coming in April.

“There Ain’t No Party Like A
Purim Party”
Register Today: More Flexible
Camp Options
“There ain’t no party like a Purim party, ‘cause a Purim party don’t
stop!” These words from the Book of Esther echo through our brains
every year in early spring as we get ready for a fun Jewish holiday.
Okay, so maybe that’s not an exact quote from the text, but it
seems like that’s a modern interpretation of our commandment
to observe and celebrate Purim. It’s a time for rejoicing as we
remember the Jews of Shushan who survived the plots of Haman.
(Insert loud booing here.)
This year, there are three exciting parts to BHC’s Purim
celebrations. First, on Saturday, March 15, Erev Purim, Chai Life, our
20s & 30s group, is going to see “Twelfth Night” at Center Stage. The
great Shakespearean comedy, with its cases of mistaken identity
and confusion, will be a popular Purim happening. Then, Sunday
morning at BHC, observe the commandment of hearing the story
of Esther by watching a fun Purim Shpiel at 10:45 am. Last, don’t
miss our fantastic Purim Carnival, beginning at 11:30 am. Come out
for games, food and fun. And special for families with infants and
toddlers, our “Little Shushan” features easy games and a puppet
show led by Sharon Edlow and Renée Stadd.
Be sure to fulfill the Purim mitzvah of “Matanot La-Evyonim,” or
gifts to the poor. Bring bags of canned goods to BHC during Purim
this year so we can continue to fight hunger with the GEDCO Cares
Food Pantry. Share your Purim happiness with those in need.
Andy Wayne
Director of Communications and Engagement
Camp BHC is an exciting one-week (June 16-20) opportunity to
share in fun, spirit (ruach), and warmth. Campers will experience
an out-of-this-world fun adventure, living Jewish values (middot),
and experiencing the joy of community (kehillah). Sports, art,
drama, field trips, social action projects, water play, computers,
and interactive camp challenges, such as capture-the-flag and
obstacle courses, are just a few of our activities.

Looking Forward to Pot Lucks,
Purim and Theater
2014 has been a great year for Chai Life. Our trivia teams have
been doing very well, regularly finishing towards the top of the
standings. We’ve had a great turnout every Tuesday night, despite
cold weather. We also had a terrific turnout of about 30 people at
Stoneleigh Lanes for duckpin bowling with a live band in January.
In February, we had an excellent Shabbat dinner at the home
of Sarah and Daniel Wechsler. We continued our new tradition of
pot luck dinners, this time with a Mexican theme. On Saturday,
March 15, we look forward to celebrating Purim by seeing
Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” at Center Stage. If you want to join us
at the show, or learn more about Chai Life feel free to contact Ben,

Coming in April: Hoffberger Scholar-in
Residence, Reuven Firestone
Have you always wanted to know more
about Islam? The weekend of April 25-27
will provide a wonderful opportunity to gain
greater understanding of this complex religion.
Baltimore’s four Reform congregations welcome
Reuven Firestone as this year’s Hoffberger
Scholar-In-Residence. Firestone was ordained at
Hebrew Union College and received his Ph.D. in Arabic and Islamic
studies at New York University. He has authored many texts
and articles, and his recent speaking engagements have covered
Jewish-Muslim relations, religious territoriality and much more.
The schedule for the weekend is as follows: Shabbat evening at BHC,
Shabbat morning at Temple Emanuel, Havdalah at Temple Oheb
Shalom and Sunday morning brunch at Har Sinai Congregation. We
hope that you will come and learn with us during this last weekend
of April.
28 Years Of Service: Honoring Betty Spear
BHC will honor Betty Spear as a long-time
congregant and for her many years as a dedicated
employee during Shabbat on Friday, March 21.
Betty became a member of BHC in 1957 and began
working at BHC in 1986. She had been working
as a science teacher for 20 years prior when the
temp agency assigned her to a week-long position
at BHC because she “liked working with machines.” Her first day
consisted of preparing a large mailing with now Executive Director,
Jo Ann Windman. After her week, BHC asked her to stay in this
position, and she has been with us ever since. Betty has taken on
many responsibilities while at BHC, from organizing holiday tickets,
to running print jobs, to preparing mailings - she has dabbled in a
bit of everything. Betty has many great memories from her days at
BHC including the day they upgraded from a mimeograph machine
to the Gestetner - no more cutting stencils! And even though new
machines were a lot of fun, she most enjoyed working with the staff
at BHC through the years, running the machines, and of course
assigning her own creative name to each machine.
Thanks for Your Help, Photo File, LLC
BHC thanks congregants Amy & Steve Seldowitz, owners of Photo
File, LLC for documenting our entire building. They did a fantastic
job and we greatly appreciate their work.
The Photo File concept is to be proactive and take detailed
photographs of possessions before a claim ever happens. In the
event of property loss, these photos provide proof to your insurance
company of exactly what was stolen, damaged, or destroyed. After
completing the picture session, the digital images are transferred
on to a custom flash drive and given to you along with instructions
on how to manage them for safekeeping. Most importantly, the
pictures never leave your premises; the only copy is given to you
immediately after the picture session is complete. Confidentiality
is assured.

Do Not Sacrifice Our Children
Our lifestyle, work demands, family activities and
commitments today create an environment of
high stress for many of us. Just a few generations
ago our grandparents & great-grandparents worried primarily about
the survival of their children due to illness, the dangers of life,
having sufficient nutrition, and in cold climes, having enough wood
to heat a home and avoiding freezing to death, also high stress issues
but of a far more serious nature.
We are instructed in Genesis 22:1-24, known as “the Akedah” (or
the binding of Isaac), not to sacrifice our children. Our God does
not demand this of us as the neighbors’ gods do of them. Today’s
gods are not little idols carved from stone, they are sports, money
and work. Successful baseball, football, and basketball players earn
more money in several seasons than most of us earn in a lifetime.
We register very young children for sports teams so that they will
acquire very specific skills, yet their overall fitness and skill levels are
unevenly developed because they are spending less time engaged in
free play and running around the yard. As they get older they may
miss school events but sports events and practices are ‘holy.’
The challenges of working families and the importance of
financial security require us to juggle school, or nannies, neighbors,
and family members to help us when a child is ill or school is closed
for inclement weather. The burden to go to work regardless of child
care availability is enough to send all of us into a downward spiral!
As I write this in January, we are in the midst of a brutally cold
winter, and no shortage of snow. I make inclement weather decisions
that involve delayed openings, closings or openings that turn into
closings in consultation with others and based on only one critical
factor: the safety and welfare of our children and staff. These are
difficult decisions and I am aware that some will understand and
some will be irritated, yet, each time I know that my responsibility is
to not sacrifice our children.

Everlasting Remembrance
Packages:
includes memorial book & seat plaque
Pay tribute to those
who blessed us in life
and continue to bless us
through memory.
Yahrzeit literally means “year’s time” or
anniversary. By the recitation of Kaddish
at the time of Yahrzeit, we pay tribute
to those who blessed us in life and
continue to bless us through memory.
Our Congregation makes it possible
to establish, in this spirit, memorials for
everlasting remembrance. A page in the
Book of Memorial, or in combination
with a Sanctuary Seat Plaque, may be
dedicated as a memorial to your loved
one.
If you would like to participate,
Francie Gill is available to discuss the
options with you, [email protected] or
410-764-1587, ext. 226.
