Etz Chayim
a Tree of Life
This summer I am beginning my
twentieth year in the rabbinate,
and I am particularly blessed that
Temple Beth El has given me the
privilege of serving here for sixteen
of my nineteen years. Among the
many blessings of longevity in
this position is the privilege I have
of watching many young people
in our congregation grow into
their adulthood. Children whose
namings I have celebrated are
graduating from high school, and
along the way I have had the joy of
celebrating their B’nai Mitzvah and
Confirmations. Now I also enjoy
the sacred honor of being asked to
stand beneath the Chuppah with
children whose B’nai Mitzvah and
Confirmations I enjoyed years ago.
The Psalms call the Torah an Etz
Chayim – a Tree of Life. And in many
ways, Temple Beth El is an orchard
in which so many trees have been
carefully planted and cultivated over
the years.
A tree is an extraordinary and holy
thing. You take a small seed, plant
it in the soil, and with a little water
and God’s blessing, it grows into
a sapling, takes root, and reaches
skyward. As its roots sink ever more
deeply into the ground, its branches
spread out and eventually, over time,
bear beautiful and delicious fruit.
The falling leaves and fruit cover
the earth below with richness and
nutrition, earth held tightly by the
loving embrace of its roots. Thus
Torah and tradition work much the same way
as planting a tree. You take the wisdom and energy of
tradition and plant it in the soul of a young person.
With a little love, and God’s blessing, he grows into his full self,
takes root in a family and community, and reaches skyward.
There is another side to this
blessing. I am also given the honor
of helping families suffer through
the illnesses and losses of loved
ones I have been privileged to know,
whose spirits and love have meant so
much to me. To grieve together with
members of our community whom
I have been fortunate to know for
many years is an equally special and
sacred honor.
new seeds are planted and a new tree
grows alongside.
Torah and tradition work much
the same way. You take the wisdom
and energy of tradition and plant it
in the soul of a young person. With
a little love, and God’s blessing, he

skyward. As her roots sink ever more
deeply into the ground of her people,
her country, her history, and her

tradition, she grows and spreads out,
and eventually, over time, blossoms
into the fullness of life. Eventually
new seeds are planted and young life
again grows alongside.
Temple Beth El is still a young
congregation, and yet we are truly
blessed to see how successive
generations are taking root in
our community. This past May,
we celebrated confirmation with
three students whose parents also
celebrated confirmation on our
bima. Each day I watch with joy as
young parents whose B’nai Mitzvah
and weddings I celebrated bring
their young children to our Early
Learning Center. I love to follow the
lives of Temple Beth El’s alumni on
Facebook, watching with pride as my
former students are embracing their
own Jewish lives, raising their own
Jewish families, and offering their
gifts of time and service to their own
communities.

A MESSAGE FROM BARRY PODOLSKY
Increasing Engagement
Temple Beth El President
Barry Podolsky
[email protected]
954-326-2180
Hello from your new President. I am truly
honored to have the opportunity to lead this
amazing congregation for the next two years.
But my first official words need to be “thank
you” to our Past President – Patty Beck. For
over four years, she led our Beth El community
with distinction. We have a balanced budget.
We are completing a major capital campaign
to renovate and expand the Schaefer Campus
and expand the Beck Campus. We revised our
by-laws and restructured our governance (Board
of Trustees.) We completed a new strategic plan
and already implemented many components. In
other words, Patty left us in terrific shape.
My focus for the next few years is to increase
“engagement.” We have many wonderful
programs, but we are still not reaching enough
FULFILLING
the promise
of our congregation on a daily/weekly/monthly
basis. So your Board and our talented staff will
be working to create some new experiences.
Some may not resonate, but we are going to try
a lot of different ideas. As they appear in The
Chronicle or in the Weekly Email, I hope you
will give them careful consideration. Of course,
if you have some interesting ideas, don’t hesitate
to contact me.
Like Patty, I am YOUR President. Let me
know what you like. Let me know what can
be improved. The generous and hard-working
congregants that started our holy congregation
always envisioned member participation at a
high level. As we move from generation to
generation, let’s keep that spirit active at Temple
Beth El.
Our congregation continues to
respond to our goal of 100%
participation in the Fulfilling the
Promise Capital and Endowment
Campaign.
While we continue to raise the
necessary funds, the Facilities
Planning Task Force, chaired by Beth
El congregant Richard Bluestein,
has been meeting regularly to help
guide the future renovations to the
Temple’s facilities. We are presently
working diligently to select the lead
architect for the project. A formal
RFP (request for proposal) was
issued and sent to nine
qualified architectural
firms, seven of whom
submitted proposals by
the May 27th deadline. The Task Force now
has the difficult job of
reviewing the proposals,
interviewing the
finalists and making a final selection
recommendation to the Board of
Trustees. We anticipate that a final
architect selection recommendation
will take place no later than June
30, 2015 and that Board approval
will be secured in July. The design,
permitting and contractor selection
process is expected to last roughly
18 months. This would result in a
construction start date in early 2017. We will continue to provide updates in
The Chronicle as the project continues
to progress forward.
All of us together truly have the
power to make a difference.
Now is your chance to make your
gift if you have not yet done so. Visit www.tbeboca.org/all-of-us or
contact Eliza Prince-Atias, Director of
Development 561-391-8900 or

Many children who have grown up at Temple Beth El are now adults
raising their own children here — planting their own roots, making
their own traditions, passing on to the next generation the shared
experiences, history and beliefs that unite us. What brought them
back here? For some, it’s the lifelong friendships, for others the sense
of tradition. But no matter the reason, there’s one thing upon which
they all agree – Temple Beth El is home.
TA K I N G
MARISA Warren Spiro
My favorite memory is after our class was
confirmed; TBE organized a sleepover
for all of us. A night of pizza and my best
friends - what more could you ask for? We were allowed to stay up late even
though in the morning we had ‘work’ - as
assistants in the TBE Sunday School. I am so comfortable with TBE and
know that Logan will make best friends
here. Two of my girlfriends from TBE
were the maids of honor at my wedding,
they are still my closest friends and I
only want Logan to have that. I want
to instill a sense of Jewish culture and
love that I have, which I know he will get
growing up at TBE.
And since I speak for Logan, I’m sure
he would say “I love watching the big kids
sing at Tot Shabbat!”

Beth El in preschool and children are now enrolled

My favorite memory was going
on weekend retreats to Coco
Beach. This was a great time
spent with friends and getting
away from school life even if it
was just for a little. I was lucky
enough to be with the same
group of friends from religious
school, Confirmation and high
school, which has created
lasting friendships to this day. The best part of raising my
daughter, Sarah here is experiencing what my parents felt while I was at
TBE. And being part of a greater educational and religious system that I
know will always be there for my daughter and family through the years. ABOVE Bat Mitzvah with Marisa Eisenberg Silver and Susie Brown Siegel.

Whether it was at Religious School or
Tuesday night academy or Confirmation
class or Journey through Judaism - I loved
having that guaranteed weekly time to see
my “Temple friends”. That translated into so
many other experiences in my life - March
of the Living, Camp Coleman and SEFTY.
These friendships have become life long and
we have so many shared memories!!
The best part of raising my daughter
Lindsay at TBE is knowing she will have
the chance to develop the same type of
lifelong friendships that I have. And she will
be raised in a warm, loving synagogue and
have a wonderful Jewish education. SHARI Schwamm
STACY Brown
One of my favorite things to do was to lead the youth group service
and sing on the Bima with my friends. My husband Craig and I were
married at the Temple in 1989. Our 3 children, Ryan (21), Hallie
(18) and Carly (15) have all celebrated their Bar or Bat Mitzvah and
after next year can all say they were Confirmed at the Temple. The best part of raising our children here has to be watching
them experience the same things I did, and seeing the many positive
changes that have occurred since I grew up. My children love to say
how when we are at Temple they can find my Confirmation picture
on the wall. Temple Beth El has been my spiritual home for the past
30 years. I am now
happy to be the
Secretary of the Board
and incoming coSisterhood President. I look forward to
celebrating many
more Simchas in the
future.
My family joined Temple Beth El in 1975
before the building construction. My favorite
childhood Temple Beth El memory is my
Bat Mitzvah in January 1978. My mother
reminded me that I said, “I wish this day
would never end.” I also remember fun times
with Phyllis Robinson. The best part of
raising my child, Blake, at Temple Beth El is
how special it feels to me that he is forming
his Jewish identity at the same temple that I
did.
Blake’s favorite part: Rabbi Levin.

Best memories: being sent to Robin’s office for talking during Sunday
School; having my Bar Mitzvah in Israel on Masada with Rabbi Singer
and other TBE families; listening to Cantor Rosen’s beautiful voice at
services. I still sing in the shower to some of his tunes.
Best part of raising children at Temple Beth El: Passing down the
warmth and traditions of Temple Beth El to the next generation;
sharing the experience of Bat Mitzvah with my daughter in Israel with
Rabbi Dan 30 years after my Bar Mitzvah in Israel; sitting on the same
Bima with my wife Stacey and my daughter Caitlin at my son Drew’s
Bar Mitzvah 28 years later. What Drew says about Temple Beth El: It’s a
safe haven where we all relate because of our shared heritage.
My favorite childhood memory is sneaking
a cup of Sanka into the bathroom and
drinking it after a Friday night service at the
Moravian Church. We were the Boca Raton
Jewish Congregation then and we met at the
church on the corner of 12th Avenue and
Palmetto. It was about 1973 and my first
foray into my current addiction to coffee.
The best part of raising Ava at Beth El is
watching her walk in my footsteps and down
the hallways I remember my father building.
She was named on the Bima where I was
Bat Mitzvahed. She is going to the Sunday
School where I went to Sunday School. And
soon she’ll be there for her Bat Mitzvah.
There’s just history there. Ava’s favorite part: the ark.

As Temple Beth El continues to grow and thrive,
one of the blessings is that we have so many
families with a second and third generation as
members. Throughout this Chronicle you will see
and hear from a number of those families.
One of the true blessings, for me and for Beth El,
is to welcome Marcy Schultz back as the Associate
Director of Jewish Learning and Living. Many of
you know, Marcy was our Assistant Director for
seven years. During that time she enhanced our
Family Education Programs, took an active role in
developing and teaching our Confirmation class
and was the “go to” person for the Main Campus
(now Schaefer Family Campus.) But for me,
Marcy’s return is a testament to my thirty one years
at Temple Beth El. Marcy was a sixth grader when
I arrived at Temple Beth El. She and Lisa Pollock
(who now lives in California but whose parents,
sister and nephews are still part of Beth El), were
our very first song leaders and first teenagers
hired! Marcy returned after college and taught
music, Mommy and Me, and was BOFTY advisor.
Marcy then moved several times for her husband’s
work. She and I always stayed
in touch. Then in 2004 Marcy
“came home” to influence
future generations of Beth El
children, both her own and our
community’s. I am thrilled to
welcome Marcy back and look
forward to having her insights,

Start the school year
with old friends and

Beginnings are filled with excitement,
anticipation and even a little trepidation.
The new school year is no exception.
Interestingly enough, children fare better
than adults. Whenever a young child begins
a new school year and their surroundings are
not yet familiar, it is very normal to see some
tears at drop off. Here is how we can help:
•Let the teacher know if there is something
in particular your child enjoys playing with.
The teachers will do everything they can
to try and engage your child and play with
him/her. If your child has any fears it’s also
helpful to let the teacher know.
•Some young children need to take a
transitional object with them from home.
The teachers will aide your child in putting
their special object away once they feel
comfortable.
•Children feel comfortable and secure with
routines. As much as possible try to keep
your morning relaxed and predictable.
•Try to make your drop off brief. Always
say goodbye and remind your child when
you will be picking him/her up.
•The teachers will be happy to contact you
and let you know how your child’s day is
going. Let them know how you prefer to
be contacted.
As our school year begins we are also
very excited to welcome Ronni Graf as the

MITZVAH PROJECTS
Shelby
Hotz
For my Mitzvah Project I am
helping Family Promise, an
organization that shelters
homeless families. I am
donating new and gently
used toys and games to
replace the old and broken
ones currently in the Boca
Raton shelter called the
‘260 House.’ In the past I
visited the families in the 260
House after school to play with the younger
children and to sit down to dinner with the
families. My Torah parsha is Noach which
deals with faith and trust in one another. Family Promise residents have faith that
volunteers like me will provide food and
a sense of community during their hard
times. I have faith that these families will get
through their hard times and find a home. Family Promise keeps families together,
so I would appreciate donations of games

For my mitzvah project, I taught children at
Florence Fuller Child Development Center
how to play the recorder. I spent six weeks
teaching them to play basic rhythms, styles,
and tempos on recorders. At the end of the
six weeks, I had my students put on a concert
for their parents. The parents were so proud
of their children and the children were so
grateful for all they had learned. I will never
forget the smiles on the children’s faces.
I plan on continuing to provide music lessons
to children in the future!
and toys for all ages. I notice that everyone
enjoys jigsaw puzzles, board games and
remote control cars/vehicles. I am grateful
for any and all donations. If you like, you
can make a donation or provide a gift card
and I will purchase toys on your behalf. You
can drop your donations off in the marked
bins at either campus this fall or call my dad
Larry Hotz any time at (914) 329-0847 or
email him at [email protected] to arrange a
pick-up. Thank you for helping me make the
world a better place.

ANNUAL
At Temple Beth El, our philosophy is to ensure
that anyone who wants to worship or obtain a
Jewish education is able to join our temple family,
regardless of financial constraints. We count on our
generous and caring congregation to donate to our
Annual Giving Campaign to help defray the costs
of membership fees, early childhood education and
religious school tuition for those in need.
As a congregation we have provided over $415,000
of financial assistance to members this past year. 253
families received membership assistance, 112 children
received religious school scholarships, and 29 children
were given aid for early childhood education.
We are extremely grateful to each of you who made
a contribution to last year’s Annual Giving Campaign.
We could not have done this without you.
For more information on how to contribute to
Annual Giving, please contact Eliza Prince-Atias,
Director of Development, at 561-391-8900 or at
[email protected].

SUSTAINING
Membership
What is a family? Temple Beth El is a family. We are
home. And as Robert Frost wrote: “Home is the place
where … they have to take you in.” We do. We will.
That means we have to come together to take care of
those who are vulnerable, who require our love and
embrace, who need the wisdom and guidance of a
caring rabbi and a holy tradition.
This year regular dues for a typical family will
be $2,180. However, if one were to spread the
Temple’s total operating expenses evenly over each
of our member families, the cost per family would
be just over $5,000. Without the generosity of
Sustaining Members who give above and beyond
standard dues, we simply cannot be the family
we need to be. This need remains pressing despite
the recent, generous gifts made to the Fulfilling
the Promise Campaign which are restricted to
future capital improvements and enhancing
the endowment. To demonstrate our immense
gratitude, Temple Beth El offers unique benefits
for this generous group.
Please consider becoming a Sustaining Member
to ensure Temple Beth El continues to be warm
and welcoming to all. Or if you are already a
Sustaining Member, please think about stepping
up a level. Please contact Eliza Prince-Atias,
Director of Development at 561-391-8900 or
[email protected].
SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS BENEFITS!
We proudly offer all Sustaining Members: Recognition
on the Sustaining Member Wall of Honor at the Schaefer
Family Campus, annual special reception honoring
Sustaining Members and exclusive listing in The Chronicle.

HIGH HOLY DAY TOT AND YOUTH PROGRAM
For your children while you are at adult worship.
Save time and register online at www.tbeboca.org/high-holy-days-2015
We’ve designed an engaging High Holy Days Tot and Youth program
for children ages 2 through 2nd Grade. This enriching hands-on
program will start at 10:00am and finish simultaneously with morning
worship on the first day of Rosh HaShanah and
Yom Kippur.
This program is not meant to replace the High Holy Days Young
Children’s Service, but it is an additional experience that will allow
parents to attend the morning worship services.
Reservations must be received by August 21 to ensure proper
staffing and group placements by age. Walk-ins are not accepted,
due to staffing requirements. There is a $5 donation per child per
holiday. Siblings will not be in the same group unless they are in
the same grade level at school.
TOT PROGRAM Ages 2-3
Staffed by teachers from our Early Learning Center, children will
experience High Holy Days with activities that are appropriate for
them. Activities may include Torah parade, listening to the Shofar and
coloring apples and honey.
YOUTH PROGRAM
Pre-K through 2nd Grade
Staffed by teachers from our Religious School, children
will participate in art projects, stories, song sessions,
snacks and Tefillah. Contact the Religious School
office with any questions at 561-391-8900.

With the start of the
new fiscal year comes
new leadership.
Sisterhood is pleased
to welcome Shari
Schwamm and Debbi
Rosenblum as the
co-presidents for the
2015-2017 term. We
are looking forward
to an exciting year
of special programs,
events, and
celebrations with our wonderful Sisterhood. My name is Shari Schwamm and my roots are
deeply planted here at Temple Beth El. I grew
up here at TBE. I was confirmed, President of
BOFTY, and married my husband Craig on the
bima in 1989. My children are now following in
my footsteps and have been active here as well.
I am Debbi Rosenblum. My husband Larry and
I joined TBE in 1996. I have taught everything
from Mommy and Me through high school and
my children also grew up here at Temple Beth
El. Both Shari and I believe in planting roots and
watching what grows. We are ready to dig in and
help TBE’s Women of Reform Judaism grow and
flourish as it has been for many years.
We are also excited to welcome all of you to
our exciting and innovative programming. Please
mark your calendars for our summer kickoff event
at the Boca Museum of Art on July 9th followed
How exciting it is for
us to have the honor
of being the first CoPresidents of Temple
Beth El Brotherhood.
We have been blessed
the last three years
to have thrived as
a group under the
outstanding and
visionary leadership
of past-president
Larry Hotz. The job
became big enough
that it will take two of us to fill Larry’s shoes but
we feel we are up to the task. Brotherhood 2015
will be moving forward with many of the great
events and programs that have become a staple
of our group such as Movie and Mouthpiece,
THE CHRONICLE
| tbeboca.org
Father and child camping, Super Bowl BBQ
and football game, and of course our fantastic
Charity Golf Fundraiser. We are excited about
bringing back our monthly Sunday Morning
Brotherhood Networking Breakfast and will
be testing the waters for interest in creating a
Brotherhood Bowling League. Our goals for this
year are to program events that will be of interest
across a broad range of ages so there will be
something for everybody. We want to promote
the true atmosphere of “brotherhood” in that we
feel each member of TBE is connected to each
other socially, spiritually and professionally and
we remain committed as a service organization
to augment and enhance Temple Beth El in all
ways possible. We are always interested in
feedback and will answer any questions about our
organization and events. Feel free to contact us

a Tree of Life
Continued from page 3
In our prayerbook, we celebrate God’s holiness
by declaring “L’Dor VaDor Nagid Godlecha – From
generation to generation we will tell of Your greatness.
The best testimony we can offer to our experience of
God’s presence in our lives is to stand back and look
with wonder at how each of us continues to grow. We
look at ourselves and celebrate the growth we continue
to achieve – notwithstanding the scars on our boughs of
limbs we have lost and wounds we have suffered through
the years. We look out at the forest of those whose seeds
we helped to plant, with amazement and pride at the lives
we inspired them to lead. We wonder who will one day
grow in the place where we now stand, and know that
the passing of the generations attests to the eternal and
growing spirit of the Jewish people and our covenant with
the Holy One.
