A MESSAGE FROM RABBI JOE FISHOF
It’s been an inspiring few months for me since I began here at
Beth Ami Congregation. I trust, hope and pray that it will
continue as such. The warmth and embracing feeling I’ve
received since I’ve been at Beth Ami has been nothing short of
awesome.
I want to personally thank David & Beverly Strauss, Sarah &
Gene Goldberg, and our Chazzan Elliott Dicker - amongst others for making me feel most welcome since the first day I came here.
Since I’ve been here, I’ve witnessed enthusiasm, teamwork,
dynamic revitalization and an atmosphere of positive thinking.
We had a successful gala, a great Purim program, and wonderful
Simcha Shabbosim.
On a sadder, but on a most encouraging note, we had a
tremendous turnout for our most moving and touching Yom
Hashoah program. Our services have been well attended and our
most talented Cantor Dicker has engaged all of our worshippers
with his exuberant melodies, on both our Friday Night and our
Shabbat morning services. We have great energy and potential for
increased energy and for more members to join our ranks.
I’d like to think of us as the “Beth Ami Family”, and as family,
we must continue to forge ahead with the same vision - the vision
of continued success for our synagogue.
We have some great enlightening and fun programs coming up,
and I feel it’s incumbent for as many people as possible (to the
best of their ability of course) to participate and even more
importantly, to head up some of the exciting activities we have
planned.
If we at Beth Ami make the time and effort to “band and band
together” Beth Ami will continue to grow and thrive.
The bottom line is commitment in different ways. People’s
commitment to religion is a very personal thing, but our
commitment here at Beth Ami should be to have intellectual
honesty with each other, to be happy with our shul, to be cohesive
in our commitment to our positive goals, to our commitment to
Judaism, to the spirit of the Torah, to good Jewish living, and last
- and by all means not least, our total commitment and dedication
to Israel and it’s survival.
Let us all continue mi-ko-ach l’ko-ach - from strength to
strength in the best of health.
Beth Ami Chai. Am Yisrael Chai.
Rabbi Joe Fishof
A MESSAGE FROM DAVID N. STRAUSS
This has been an exciting year. I wish to thank all those who
attended our Annual Meeting, and welcome Dianne Fried, Neil
Friess, and Stuart Timoner, who were elected to join Beth Ami’s
Board of Directors. Board Member Nancy Boyman was elected to
serve on the Executive Board as Recording Secretary. I look
forward to working with everyone.
It was first a dream here years ago to have a security system that
would cover all our exterior and interior areas by cameras, with a
recording device that lets us know 24/7 what’s happening at Beth
Ami. We have now finally realized that vision. We are so proud of
this important accomplishment - and I thank all the members who
have donated towards the costs, and all those who will contribute
towards helping us pay the final costs. We are all excited to be
installing a new phone system, new computers, internet and cable.
Finally after 41/2 years of hard work I can see light at the end of the
tunnel.
In the future we will be working on a new roof for the Social Hall,
paying off our mortgage, and waterproofing our building to help
ensure we won’t need to have expensive renovation projects, such
as the extensive renovations of the restrooms that we completed last
year.
One more special accomplishment I would like to remind you of is
Beth Ami’s Pillar Program. Our 2015 Annual Gala was held in
honor of this program, and recognized the Pillars, Keystones, and
Guardians of Beth Ami, who have all made an extremely significant
financial contribution to safeguard the future of Beth Ami under the
umbrella of the Pillar Program. The Gala was a tremendous
success. It raised $20K - our biggest gala yet. And I’m sure next
year it will be even bigger. So far, our Pillar Program has raised
$475K of our $500K goal! I hope some of you who attended will
be inspired to join the Pillar Program yourselves.
We cannot run a Shul on Dues and Yom Kippur Appeals alone. We
recognize and deeply appreciate all contributions by our members.
Anyone looking to join a Synagogue in our area will discover our
dues are extremely modest, and this is possible because our
members support all of our programs and projects generously.
So as you can see, with all the improvements, activities and
programs, Beth Ami is a new Shul. Change is difficult, but we are
recognized in our Community. We are a Zionist Shul. With study,
education, movies, parties and services: we are huge supporters of
Israel and many Jewish organizations. THAT’s what we are all
about.
My administration has been very busy working hard to complete all
the necessary improvements to Beth Ami. It is now up to all of us
as members to share what we all have helped build.

Dear Friends:
It is very difficult to find the words to express my
appreciation and thanks to all of you who participated
in celebrating my 70th birthday. The social hall
looked magnificent. There was so much love in the
air as we celebrated together. I cannot say thank you
enough for the demonstration of caring and respect
for me you showed, for my wonderful gift, and for the
many donations to Beth Ami in my honor. It is my
21st year as your cantor and I am totally overwhelmed by your generosity and kindness. May all of
us continue to be blessed.

MAY 14, 1948
Three score and seven years ago Our People brought
forth, upon this land, a new nation, conceived in Our
History, and dedicated to the proposition that this is Our
Homeland for all Jewish People for all time.
Now we are engaged in a great civilizational battle,
testing whether this nation, or any nation so conceived,
and so dedicated, can long endure.
We cannot dedicate – we cannot consecrate – we cannot
hallow – this land. The brave men and women, living
and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far
above our poor power to add or detract. The world can
never forget what they did here. Will the world note and
remember what we say here now?
It is for us to be dedicated here and now to the
unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly
carried on. It is for us to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us – that from the honored dead
we take increased devotion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here and
now highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in
vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom;
and that this Land of Israel shall not perish from the
earth.
TAKE NAMES!

SPECIAL BRIEFING
We are so proud of Beth Ami, we want to
share our Shul with everyone! It’s so easy
to be an ambassador for Beth Ami. You

emailed flyers and announcements to

programs. Just turn in the names and
email
addresses

Along with many of the other positive
changes taking place at Beth Ami, our
website has been under construction for
updating. The new site should be up soon
(maybe even by the time of this printing).
This is really great for reaching out to a
wider community of people looking for a
true Zionist synagogue in Boca Raton.
New items and options will continue to be
added all the time.
Check it out!

Sorry to air our laundry in public, but this
is something you should know. For years
to help save money on cleaning expenses,
a group of ladies from Beth Ami has been
taking home the Synagogue’s wash every
week. That’s hundred and hundreds of
loads of tablecloths and towels. But now
thanks to the extreme generosity of a
handful of people, Beth Ami has its own
washer/dryer! This is so needed and
helpful - thank you! Now, if we could just
get the guy in the t-shirt to do the laundry …….
YOM HASHOAH
CANTOR’S KIDDUSH
MEMORIAL MINYAN
The Child Survivors/Hidden Children of
the Holocaust Palm Beach County held
their 10th Yom Hashoah commemoration
with Beth Ami on April 19th. With over
200 people attending, it was the largest
gathering yet for this most important
memorial day. Thank you to Nancy
Boyman for coordinating. Visit here
www.sun-sentinel.com/florida-jewish-journal
for a great write-up. Beth Ami is noticed!
On April 18th we celebrated the 70th
birthday of Cantor Elliott Dicker with a
packed house for Shabbat services and
Kiddush lunch. It’s nice when everyone
gets together for a special occasion. Of
course the food was great - as always!
Easy does it in line! Almost 100 people
contributed, so the Cantor received a nice
gift, and a nice donation in his honor to
the Shul. Thank you Beth Ami members!
A very special memorial minyan was held
on April 27th in honour of longtime Beth
Ami member, Al Cohen. Over sixty
people attended the Monday morning
service. It was a real tribute to Al, who
attended almost every Minyan until past
his 102nd birthday. Family and friends
shared stories about him from the Bimah,
and afterwards gathered in the social hall
for light breakfast. Al would have love it.
NO INSECURITIES
OOPS!
AND SPEAKING OF ...
Hashem is watching … And so are we! As
part of the renovation and revitalization of
Beth Ami, the new security systems have
been installed. There are monitored cameras outside and inside the building, a
new gate, and security fencing. Congratulations to President David
Strauss for seeing this project
through. (Donations to finish paying for
it are still being accepted. See David to
learn more…)
Correction: The Passover 2015 Issue of
the Beth Ami Post has an error. Miriam
and Max Deutsch put the committee together for the Shalach Manot bags we all
received. Gloria and Samuel Deutsch did
not, but we hope they did enjoy the bags!
A phone call to apologize was placed to
Miriam by a very mortified editor. She
was a doll about the matter. You’ll enjoy
working with Miriam & Max on an event,
or just attend one!
Miriam & Max Deutsch: They have joined
with Ileene Yashpeh to organize a trip to
the Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale on
June 23, 2015. Bus leaves Beth Ami at

“Crossing the Line - Part II”
May 20, 2015 - Wednesday: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
With Speaker and Educator from JerusalemU.com
Matt Weisbaum
Beth Ami Members and the Jewish Community
are invited for an evening of
Desserts and Coffee
With
“Rabbi Joe”
Thursday, May 14
7-9 PM
Beth Ami Congregation
Israel is under assault on North American college campuses today like never before. Anti-Israel activities to alienate,
demonize, and delegitimize Israel are increasingly
crossing the line into anti-Semitism, in the form of hate
speech, harassment and intimidation.
Crossing the Line 2: The New Face of Anti-Semitism
on Campus is a new documentary that reveals the
rise of anti-Israel activity and anti-Semitic rhetoric on
North American university campuses, and
demonstrates when reasonable criticism of Israel
‘Crosses the Line’ into anti-Semitism.
1401 NW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, 33432
Come and meet the newest addition to the
Beth Ami Family!
Rabbi Joseph Fishof is from Cedarhurst, NY,
where he spent 21 years at Beth El Synagogue.
He came to Florida planning to retire and play a
lot of golf. But Hashem had other things in
mind for him! Within a month of his arrival he
met Beth Ami leaders (lucky for us) and
poof...he was back on the Bimah!
We are so happy to have such a knowledgeable
and personable Rabbi at Beth Ami. Please
come meet Rabbi Joe, as he shares his life’s
journey, thoughts on Judaism, and hopes for
the future of Beth Ami.
ABOUT STEP UP FOR ISRAEl: an international,
grassroots campaign that connects individuals
and communities to Israel. Beth Ami is proud to host
this continuing series of programs that have educated
so many people across America and worldwide.
