i have heard somewhere that we should “roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.” However, at B’nai Torah, these words do not ring true.

We had a very good year in so many respects, and I’d like to take this opportunity to share some highlights.

Our Selichot service, under the direction of our Senior Cantor Udi Spielman, has become a tradition and last year we had over 900 people in attendance and a 25-piece orchestra. Our Concert Series took us on a spiritual journey from Hazzanut to Kosher Gospel and we are all looking forward to the 2017 Series celebrating Cantor Spielman’s 10th anniversary with B’nai Torah.

Our cast of authors and scholars-in-residence was outstanding – I hope you all had a chance to attend some of these very thought-provoking lectures. Dr. Robert Watson returned, as well as Rabbi Donniel Hartman. We also welcomed Rabbi Matt Berkowitz, David Gregory, and Alan Dershowitz. We are so lucky to attract authors and scholars of this caliber.

The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning is thriving and expanding. Our site director, Penina Bredoff, was honored with an “Excellence in Recruitment” award as she took Melton from a moribund program to one that is exceeding all expectations.

Thanks to Rabbi David Englander and Cantor Paul Goldstein, our B’nai Mitzvah program has grown and flourished. Our students truly learn how to engage in Shabbat services and Torah study thanks to our private and small-group lessons.

Of course, The Ruth & Edward Taubman Early Childhood Center - under the direction of Nancy Goldstein - continues to be the only accredited Jewish pre-school in South Palm Beach County. I could write so much more, but suffice it to say that they have achieved re-accreditation for an additional five years. Kudos to Nancy and her very talented teachers.

Cathy Berkowitz, director of the Mirochnick Religious School, was chosen to partner with the William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary, as part of an exploration of the future trajectory of congregational learning. Cathy, congratulations again.

Rabbi Rikki Arad, our Executive Director, has accomplished so much since coming to B’nai Torah. She was instrumental in designing and implementing the “Bringing Shul Home” initiative which brings the shul experience into private homes. The Annual Dinner Dance, honoring Debra and Jerry Kramer, was a great success. She worked with Dr. Jeffrey and Barbara Feingold in securing a new Torah for B’nai Torah and helping them organize a community-wide celebration in honor of this new Torah. Rikki, thank you for all that you do. We are who we are because of our hard-working and dedicated staff.

We could not achieve the success we have without the leadership of our Senior Rabbi David Steinhardt and Rabbi David Englander. They not only guide us spiritually, but they are with us for all of our life cycle events and for daily support and guidance. They are the heart and soul of this shul. I feel honored to work with them and we are so fortunate to have them lead B’nai Torah Congregation.

Lazy days of summer? Not at B’nai Torah! Our Main Sanctuary will be closed this summer for a complete renovation. Just wait until you see how beautiful it is going to look. In addition to these renovations, the clergy, leadership and staff are preparing for our High Holy Days as well as our programming calendar for next year. Also this summer we will welcome back Cantor Boaz Davidoff, who will be with us through mid-Decemeber. These are exciting times for our shul! If you are not yet a member, I urge you to consider joining one of the most dynamic and successful shuls in the country.

I wish you all a good summer filled with peace, and hopefully we’ll see you in shul.

Toby Levi

summer 2016 5

dear Friends, A few thoughts about the elections and Shavuot. We are approaching the summer and another election season. Actually, the election season began about the time the last vote was counted in the last election. That is a sad commentary, and it speaks to the fact that so many elected officials are more concerned with power and control than with governance. And we see – and all agree – that governance is broken. I don’t think we see too many leaders who are willing to come together, define the problem, agree that it needs to be resolved, and then figure out a way to solve it. Inevitably, that means compromise. Many are simply too stuck in their way of perceiving the world to compromise. They are stuck in themselves and their ideologies. They are trapped by money and special interests and lobbies. I have heard candidates speak regularly about their ideological principles as needing to be served, but not say that America and the American people need to be served. That is disturbing. The art of debating ideas is lost, and the debates have become very personal and cruel. Disagreement has led to the point where many are fearful of giving their opinions. For some it means friendships and for some it literally means jobs. Most Jewish professionals and rabbis I know believe that there are areas of conversation where they simply “cannot go.” This is true about public discourse in this country, and certainly when it has to do with Israel. What a sad state of affairs! When I grew up, clergy were unabashed in their leadership for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam. Things have changed.

Our tradition has a lot to say about debate and discourse, and our tradition actually values the disputes and debates of the rabbinic minds. The Talmud is built around this type of discourse. Sometimes opinions are determined to be simply wrong. Sometimes there is no clear right answer. And sometimes there is a sense that we cannot know what is right or wrong at the present time. There is actually a word used in the Talmud that ends a long argument. The word is taku and it means that this argument will not be decided by us; it will be decided when the Messiah comes. (And no one knows when that is!) On the evening of Saturday, June 11, we gathered for the celebration of Shavuot. This is a holiday of learning as we celebrate our story of revelation. Traditionally, Jews would stay up and study all night long.

This year, we joined together for prayer and some cheesecake and then we studied some of the great debates and disagreements in Jewish history. There have been plenty. Congregants had the opportunity to learn from Rabbi Englander, Rabbi Arad and myself and the conversations were interactive and lively. It’s appropriate that we did this topic this year. We modeled how to have debates, how to disagree, and how to allow this to be meaningful and productive. If you missed it, I hope you will join us next year for what will surely be another interesting and fun evening of learning!

rabbi david EnglanderSince it is summertime, I will begin with a camp reference. When I went to summer camp, there were swimming groups: beginner, intermediate, swimmers, all the way up to lifeguarding. I have now advanced in my social media use about as far as I ever advanced in swimming at camp; which is to say I am a solid intermediate. But don’t expect to see me with a whistle on the docks ready to dive in to save you (actually, I can’t even dive!).

I am not on Facebook so you can’t find me there. I have a Google account and so we could “hang out” if you really wanted to. I even know what Instagram is, though I don’t have an account, and I recently signed up for WhatsApp (if you don’t know – don’t bother). I have become a late adopter of Twitter, enjoying my “feed” much more than I ever thought I would. It is rather difficult to say anything meaningful in 140 characters, and those who are able to do so on a regular basis are worth my attention. I even Tweet once in a while, and should probably do more.

Every technology in history is only as good as what it is used for. Social media brings people closer together for the sharing of ideas, for keeping up with family or friends who live far away, for feeling a sense of community even when we are not near those to whom we wish we lived closer. And when it is used to insult, defame, degrade, or otherwise scrape the bottom of the kind of communication people are capable of, we might wish it never existed. What can be shared with a click

of a button today on every phone and computer still astounds me. There is beauty and inspiration there, and there is racism, sexism, homophobia, misogyny, and extreme closed-mindedness, as well.

As we travel in cyberspace, we should commit to abiding by at least the same rules of civility that we would expect when we see people we know, and people we don’t know, face-to-face. Even from my “intermediate” status, I can tell that one has to be very careful to be on the right side of the line of using this powerful tool. As the siddur says about every new month, li’vracha v’lo li’klala, for a blessing and not for a curse.

I wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you soon at B’nai Torah.

summer 2016 9

dear Friends, I recently came back from the March of the Living, and I must say, I am forever changed. I was asked to go on the trip as a rabbinical leader. As a Jewish professional and educator, and as a second generation Holocaust survivor, I didn’t think there was anything I didn’t already know regarding this dark time in our history. I was wrong… There were days I was supposed to console crying students, when all I wanted to do was cry myself. It is said that when you teach, you learn. This was most certainly true of my experience. I went on the March of the Living to teach, to guide, and to support. In the end, I was also a student who learned so much. I wouldn’t have gotten through it if it weren’t for the amazing students and my fellow staff members with whom I will always share an amazingly strong bond. As you know, I am from Israel, and I travel there often. I always feel a sense of comfort and pride when arriving at my home, and the home of the Jewish people. When we arrived there after the March, however, the feeling was very different. Of course, I still felt comfort and pride, but I also felt a sense of relief. Judaism is alive and thriving. Arriving in Israel, after seeing firsthand the horrors of the Shoah, reminded me how critically important it is to have a strong Israel. I arrived back to Boca filled with inspiration and a sense of obligation to do everything possible to support, celebrate, and educate others about Israel, and also to continue maintaining and growing our synagogue. We must continue to offer meaningful programming and learning opportunities for people of all ages and stages so that all who come to B’nai Torah can strengthen their commitment and connection to Jewish life and Torah. We must ignite a love for Judaism and a strong Jewish identity in our children from an early age, and work to keep that flame burning throughout their lifetime so Jewish life can be

preserved from generation to generation. Additionally, we must make sure our members are aware of what is happening in the world and learn how it impacts us, so that we can work together to be part of a better, more tolerant, and more accepting world. For these reasons, the B’nai Torah professional staff and I are working very hard to make this another fantastic year filled with fun and meaningful Shabbat and holiday observances, the best of Jewish culture and art, and substantive learning opportunities through our amazing early childhood center, religious school, and our adult learning offerings. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to me. We also have a new “Kvell or Kvetch” comment box located by the front office. Wishing you all a wonderful and peaceful summer. Rabbi Rikki Arad

a big THANK YOU to our BRUSY dream team - Andrei Sujka, Zach Smith and Stephanie Goldstein - for a great year! These three amazing individuals have been leading our youth groups since November and have done such a fantastic job! This year, we also added a new youth group called Chalutzim (for Kindergarten and 1st grade) that meets twice month. We had great programming throughout the year and we are busy planning another wonderful season ahead. Andrei and Zach are continuing their college education and FAU and Palm Beach State College, respectively, and Stephanie recently graduated with her Masters in Social Work from FAU and will be working locally.

I am proud to announce that our USY chapter won “Chapter on the Rise” within the Arvot subregion, and our very own Hannah Wolfe was elected subregional president!

introducing b’nai torah’s new logo

Magen david adom ambulance dedication in honor of the drowos FamilyOn May 22, 2016, a special dedication ceremony took place at B’nai Torah Congregation. Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency service, received a generous donation - a brand new ambulance to be shipped to and used in Israel for emergency response. The ambulance was generously donated by Jeff and Linda Drowos in honor of their children, Bryan and Joanna Drowos, and their grandchildren, Lila and Jackson Drowos, who are members of B’nai Torah and attend The Ruth and Edward Taubman Early Childhood Center. The ambulance is also given in memory of Jeff’s parents, Jean and Izzy Drowosz’’l.

Magen David Adom is Israel’s ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief organization, serving as emergency medical first responders for the state’s more than 8 million people. MDA is the only organization mandated by the Israeli government to serve in this role, but it’s not a government agency, so it relies on private funding.

Yasher Koach to the Drowos family!
