From
Rabbi
Birnholz
Welcome Rabbi Nathan Farb
Every Assistant
Rabbi who has
come to our
congregation has
brought
new
ideas,
unique
RABBI RICHARD BIRNHOLZ, D.D., R.J.E.
interpretations
of
Jewish
sources and different ways of relating to
congregants. Rabbi Farb will be no exception.
He grew up in a small self-directed
congregation in Westminster, Colorado where
two dozen families met in living rooms,
church basements, community schools, and
a refurbished shopping center. They had no
rabbi and no staff and read from a Torah
which was given to them on permanent loan
from another congregation.
That experience in a small congregation
made a lasting impression on Rabbi Farb and
explained the great appeal his candidacy had
for us on the search committee. Rabbi Farb’s
modest beginning in the synagogue world
sensitized him to the importance of making
sure that every member feels like a partner in
synagogue life. In his initial interview, Rabbi
emphasized group building, relationship
growth, and engendering feelings of warmth
and inclusivity as essential to his rabbinate.
We have no doubt that his compassionate
nature and his desire to bring a small Temple
atmosphere to our large congregation will go
a long way to meeting his goal and ours.
I look forward to starting a new friendship
with him. I know Rabbi and I will share great
conversations and special moments as only
colleagues can. Each Assistant challenges me
to look at Schaarai Zedek in new ways and
each eventually becomes my teacher. I cannot
wait to begin this journey once again.
Rabbi Richard J. Birnholz
We are delighted to welcome Rabbi Nathan Farb as
our new Assistant Rabbi. Rabbi Farb comes to us from
a unique background. As he explains in his own words,
“I began my Jewish professional career as a janitor at
the somewhat larger Boulder Reform Jewish synagogue,
Har Hashem. Technically, I was the assistant facilities
coordinator, but if somebody needed a mop or a plunger,
I was the one they would call. You might not expect
the janitor to end up as a rabbi, but pretty soon I started
RABBI NATHAN FARB
coaching b’nai mitzvah students, then creating Jewish
twenties and thirties events. Pretty soon I knew for sure
that I had to become a rabbi.” Rabbi Farb then shows his great sense of humor
when he closes saying, “I’ve gone from toilet rolls to Torah Rolling, and I’m not
done yet.”
Rabbi Farb is smart, spiritual, an “out of the box” thinker, a scholar, a sensitive
listener, a creative service writer and a graphic artist. He graduated Cum Laude
with Distinction from the University of Colorado with a B.A. in Economics in
2005. He was a Legacy Heritage Scholar in the Conservative Yeshiva Summer
Program in Israel in 2009, and was recently ordained this May at HUC-JIR in
Cincinnati. While at HUC, Rabbi Farb completed a Clinical Pastoral Education
course and won the 2014 Israel Bettan Memorial Prize “as the student who has
been most creative and imaginative in his/her pulpit presentation.”
Rabbi Farb served as student rabbi in Parkersburg, Virginia and Petoskey,
Michigan where he led services, visited congregants, taught adult education,
provided pastoral care, conducted lifecycle events, created holiday liturgy,
engaged in interfaith relations, coached b’nai mitzvah students, led day-camp
activities, and led new member outreach.
Rabbi is a skilled teacher, having taught religious school and midweek Hebrew
at Cincinnati’s Wise Temple and having introduced courses like “YouTube
University” and “Rapping Rabbis” at the Cincinnati Reform Jewish High School.
In the summer of 2011, Rabbi was the Drama Director at Camp Ramah in the
Poconos and in 2009 was the D’var Torah coach (as in speech writing for Bar/Bat
Mitzvah) at Congregation Har HaShem in Boulder, Colorado.
We feel very fortunate in having Rabbi Farb join our clergy team. We look
forward to sharing his energy and warm personality as we begin a new chapter in
our congregation’s history.
An Oneg Shabbat to welcome Rabbi Farb will be held following services
on June 26. You are invited to meet our new Assistant Rabbi.
President’s
Message
The two years have
flown by. It seems like
only yesterday that
my term as President
began. There are so
many to acknowledge
and so little space (but
ALAN WEINER
I’ll try). We all know
how blessed we are to have a senior Rabbi like
Rabbi Birnholz, who sets such a positive and
warm tone for our congregation and provides
such strong leadership. We are fortunate to have
an Executive Director like Marc LeVine, who
seems to be on the job 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, making sure that our congregants
are having their individual and collective
needs met, on a schedule that is forever in flux.
Rabbi Simon, while now setting up shop with
his new congregation as its senior rabbi, has
been outstanding in all respects, and Cantor
Cannizzaro jumped into the fold two years ago
and has added much joy, warmth and beauty to
our congregation and worship. Ian Bernstein
leads in an exemplary manner our Amy Gail
Buchman Preschool, which has become not
only one of the top preschools in this area, but
throughout the state.
It goes on and on from there. Sherry Stein,
our Director of Membership and Programming,
has been an integral part of our leadership
team for many years, and provides for what
appears to be effortless execution of event after
event. Donna Wood dove right in this year as
Religious School Director and, aided by the
able hand of Donna Birnholz, has provided
not only strong leadership, but great vim and
vigor. Lindsay Dewey directs and leads all of
our youth activities and organizations, spanning
age groups ranging from infants through high
school age. Need I remind you that we hosted
over 400 kids a couple of months ago for a
Spring Kallah…
Speaking of which, whether it is a Spring Kallah,
a Senior Luncheon, a Brotherhood Signature
Event, a Yee Haw Shabbat, a High Holy Day
Service, or any other religious observance or
congregant function, it takes a coordinated team.
The positive, can-do attitudes and capabilities
of Mary Braverman, CK Shannon, and Marilyn
Moss all contribute to our ability to make
things happen. I do, however, want to thank a
special group of individuals. Our maintenance
team, including Mike Willman, Freddy Coley,
Alexis Pabellon, and Kim Turner, is second
to none. I am sure you have noticed that if

rainstorms. People
are heading out of town on vacation and/
or to visit family. Things are slowing down
and we can finally, hopefully rest.
I don’t know about you, but I often feel
guilty when I rest. I mean, there is so much
yet to do: bills to pay, closets to clean
out, emails to respond to, laundry (always
laundry) to do … how can I possibly justify
resting?!
Judaism understands the need for rest.
Torah tells us, “On the seventh day, God
had completed the work that had been
done, ceasing then on the seventh day from
all work. Then God blessed the seventh day
and made it holy, and ceased from all the
work that God had chosen to do.” (Genesis
2:2-3) This day of rest was so important that
it was included in the 10 Commandments
(Commandment 4, if you’re wondering).
I guess if God could justify resting, then I
shouldn’t worry about it.
One of my favorite readings on this
subject comes from Likrat Shabbat, a
wonderful siddur I used in a previous
congregation: “A great pianist was once
asked by an ardent admirer: “How do you
handle the notes as well as you do?” The
artist answered: “The notes I handle no
better than many pianists, but the pauses
between the notes—ah! That is where the
art resides.” In great living, as in great
music, the art may be in the pauses. Surely
one of the enduring contributions which
Judaism made to the art of living was the
Shabbat, “the pause between the notes.”
And it is to the Shabbat that we must look
if we are to restore to our lives the sense of
serenity and sanctity which Shabbat offers
in such joyous abundance.”
What a wonderful concept, that an
important part of great music, of great
living is the rests, the pauses! If the “pause”
is part of the “work,” then there should
be no reason for guilt – they are both
necessary. Just as Shabbat is necessary to
the week, moments of rest are necessary
to our lives. But how do we make these
moments of Shabbat part of everyday life?
A colleague of mine came up with what I
consider to be a brilliant solution.

President’s Message
(continued from Page 2)
you’re at Temple, so are they (fairly obvious,
I know). Whenever needed, and always with
a smile and positive attitude. Although there
are many more people that I need to mention,
but for want of space, I cannot. Please know,
though, that Marc LeVine couldn’t do what he
does without the fine office staff we have, nor
could Ian Bernstein lead such a tremendous
preschool without his strong leadership team
and amazing faculty.
Above all else, we have an outstanding
congregation. You have embraced our Rabbi
and our Temple and supported it with your
presence and participation, your volunteer
activities, and your dues, Torah Circle
participation, and other contributions. We
have a lay leadership team, including our
committee members and chairs, our affiliates
and their respective leaders, our Board, and
our Officers, who support and augment all that
our clergy and staff do.
I am leaving my post knowing the Temple
is in good hands. Bob Tannenbaum will be
a wonderful President and I look forward to
serving in support of Bob and his efforts.
It has been a great privilege, and for that, I
thank you.

She learned to build moments of rest into her
day. These moments of rest help to rejuvenate
her soul and replenish lost energy. And they
are very simple: feel the joy of moments with
children or grandchildren; pause between
sentences a little longer; reflect on nature
through the car windshield at a traffic light;
linger over lunch just a little longer with a
friend.
As we head off into summer, let’s learn to
discover the pauses between the notes of life,
and thereby bring the restfulness of Shabbat,
the restfulness of vacation, into our daily lives
– guilt free. Have a wonderful summer!

SISTERHOOD / BROTHERHOOD
SISTERHOOD EVENTS
The Month at-a-Glance
The thanks of the Sisterhood go to the outgoing and incoming Executive Board for their many contributions to
Sisterhood. We are fortunate to have so many excellent women who are willing to serve the Temple through their
involvement in Sisterhood. Pattie Schreiber is joining me this year as Co-President. Pattie has been involved in many
Sisterhood and Temple activities from Bagels and Blocks to Young Family events and Sisterhood board positions.
A special thanks to Aly Zamore and Marcie Linder as they move into new roles on the Sisterhood Board. Aly was
the Administrative VP, co-chaired the Star Event, hosted the sponsor dinner, and organized the Staff Appreciation
lunch. She is our new Communications Chair, helping us plan and use all the communication channels, including
social media, mail, and email. Marcie was the Religious Programming VP, leading Sisterhood Shabbat, Passover
Celebration, Torah Study, and Hamentashen baking. Marcie is the new Social Action Chair, and will be creating some
new events as well as incorporating a social action component in some of our current activities. Thank you both for
helping our Sisterhood grow in new ways.
We encourage all of Temple women to take advantage of what Sisterhood has to offer. Our mission is to join together
in friendship and accomplish together what each individual member cannot accomplish alone. Come to an event, help
one of the Board members on a committee, volunteer in the Judaica Shop, just do one small thing that connects you to
our fabulous Sisterhood! The connection we have to each other is what makes us thrive.
Over the summer, we will be planning our activities for the coming year. If you have ideas or want to help, please
contact us. We look forward to serving as your Sisterhood Co-Presidents and to having an eventful year full of
wonderful activities and friendships.
Thank you to all Sisterhood members for your support. We wish everyone a great summer!

BROTHERHOOD EVENTS
2 Months at-a-Glance
I would like to dedicate this article to Bruce Goldenberg for his service over the last 2 years as President of the
Brotherhood. Under his leadership the Brotherhood has grown by all accounts: total membership, number of events
and diversity of programs.
JUNE
Brotherhood Board Meeting
Monday, June 8 - 6:30 pm
As Bruce leaves office, our membership is now approaching close to 300 members. In a time when many men’s
clubs are shrinking, we are not only growing in terms of size but also in demographics. Our Brotherhood members
range from young professionals in their 30’s up to seniors in their 80’s+ with a wide range of interests. For this reason
our programs are diverse to appeal to our varied audience.
Brotherhood Shabbat
Friday, June 19 - 7:30 pm
Last year our most popular program was a free event open to the public. Bruce organized this event and invited one
of the foremost experts in Nazi Stolen Art. This speaker has been involved in almost every major case over the last
20+ years and provided an opportunity for us to listen to personal accounts behind both the “Women in Gold” as well
as “The Monument’s Men.” It was insightful, moving and informative.
Brotherhood Board Meeting
Friday, July 3 - 6:30 pm
Bruce also coined the phrase “This is not your father’s Brotherhood.” Our events have included everything from
volunteer projects to Scotch tastings to business networking.
Bruce has made my job easier as incoming co-President and I am grateful. Also I would like to give a special thanks
to all Board members for their hard work and combined efforts to make this year a success.

In memory of:
The Early Days
of Schaarai Zedek
Excerpts from the minutes of the
Temple Board – the 1920’s
The first Oneg Shabbat was held in the
20’s as an experiment. Sisterhood again
contributed to the congregation during
hard financial times.
February 3, 1929: “It was suggested
that the Brotherhood and the Sisterhood
serve refreshments after every Friday
evening service. This matter was
referred to the Brothers and Sisters for
their action.”
March 3, 1929: “The first social
function of the Temple to be held after
Friday night services, which happened
to be on March 1st, was deemed to be a
very pleasant and enjoyable experience.
It was voted to continue these social
activities as often as practical.”
April 7, 1929: “By vote of the
Membership, the Secretary was
instructed to write a letter of thanks
to the Sisterhood for the payment of
$600.00 to the Temple Building Fund.”
These minutes were prepared by
Dr. Carl Zielonka, Archives Chair,
for your information about
our past history.
