June-July 2014 | Sivan-Tammuz-Av 5774

Whenever we think we are at the end of

a story it may be that we are just at its beginning. Each fall we read the death of Moses and then immediately begin Torah again reading the story of Creation.

A beautiful teaching combines the last letter in the Torah, the “lamed” with the first letter written in the Torah, the “bet.” Lamed-bet spells lev, heart. “Everything in life depends on purity of heart,” our sages teach.

This June-July newsletter marks the end of our current synagogue program year, and the beginning of our next. At this moment, with a purity of heart, we who are privileged to work on behalf of Chizuk Amuno Congregation as professionals and lay leaders say thank you to our synagogue family.

Please accept our grateful appreciation for your continuing membership and contributions that enable us to serve you, our members, as well as our larger community. Inside Chizuk Amuno, we understand it is a choice to contribute and participate here. We thank you, our synagogue members and friends, for the choice your affiliation with us reflects and the spirit your presence brings to us all.

Wherever we stand thinking it is an end, we are really at a place of beginning. Just as our tradition believes there is no end to Torah, accept these best wishes for a pleasant and rejuvenating summer season aware that as we begin again at Chizuk Amuno, much celebration, learning, and connecting awaits us in the fall.

B’Shalom Rav,

Rabbi Ron Shulman

She will discuss key formative experiences. She will also highlight the importance of finding meaning through creating rituals from existing sources and the importance of “transitional spaces” for fostering spiritual moments.

All Boxed In: The Aquatic Adventures of Moses and NoahBarry M. Gittlen, Ph.D.

Professor of Biblical and Archaeological Studies Director, Undergraduate Jewish Studies Program Towson University

Two guys get into vessels and shove off for uncharted adventure. Each begins a journey that will lead to a destiny somewhat different from expectation. Set your sails for wondrous things and join us as we examine the subtle ways in which Torah links these two ancient mariners and their journey.

A journey of women making a new beginning with men.

Home and Away Dr. Arthur Lesley

Exile and the opposite, being comfortably at home, are not locations on maps. They are both personal and universal feelings that people bear with them, wherever they are. Jews have recalled going from one to the other at many different times.

From Here to EternityDr. Moshe D. Shualy

If the Universe is Eternal, why do we run out of time? Jewish tradition insists that Eternal Life is planted within us. After the Torah is read we hear the solemn blessing, an oath actually – ve-Hayyei ‘Olam Natt’a beTokheinu! After which we all say Amen!

So where is this Eternity? Come explore perspectives to discover words beyond the conventional horizons. Find Eternity within the flowing streams of time that forever recede from the shores of the present moment.

From Ovrutch to Detroit, from Despair to HopeRabbi Paul D. Schneider

Ben Schneider, my father, did not share even one story about his youth with his sons until he turned 70. He didn’t want to burden us with stories of poverty and anti-Semitism. If only he had known how impoverished we would have been without knowing our past!

I will share some of these family stories.

On Shavuot, Thursday, June 5, during the Yizkor service, the following memorial plaques will be dedicated.

Observing Tishah B’Av - The Ninth of Av We will observe Tishah B’Av with prayer and reflection on Monday evening August 4 at 8:30 p.m. During the Ma’ariv service for Tishah B’Av we will recite the Bible’s Book of Lamentations, Eikhah.

Tishah B’Av is our calendar’s date of mourning. On the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av we recall tragic events in Jewish history whose legacy have shaped our identity and values. Foremost among the events we remember are the destructions of the two Temples in Jerusalem. The Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in the year 586 BCE. The Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE.

We will also gather in observance of Tishah B’Av on Tuesday morning, August 5 at 7 a.m. A special Minhah service will be held at 1 p.m. At this afternoon service we will wear our tallit and tefillin, ritual symbols that we will not use during our Shaharit service in expression of our mourning. Tishah B’Av is a full or partial day of fasting and introspection observed with emotion as we transform trauma into wisdom through ritual.

Thank You Judy Meltzer

Judy Meltzer’s years as Director of Adult Learning at Chizuk

Amuno draw to a close this summer as Judy celebrates her well-deserved retirement. Judy’s passion for books, her passion for ideas, her passion for language, her passion for Jewish wisdom, and more deeply, her passion for people inspire us all.

Judy based her teaching and her administration in relationships. She knew her students, her teachers, and

how best to bring them together. She cares about all of us. To Judy, the classroom experience is a social one, a setting for friendships, and a place to begin what can be continued everywhere else.

For Judy, every experience is potentially one to which one wants to bring a Jewish perspective. As well, there is no new idea she didn’t consider and no old idea she didn’t revisit. Judy’s standards are the highest possible and her results match her expectations.

We thank you, Judy. We are better and brighter because we are your students. Even as we celebrate your achievements, know that we will always be grateful and continue on as your adult Jewish learners.

In Judy’s honor, our synagogue community generously established the “Judy Meltzer Cinema Under the Stars Fund.” Join us on

Tuesday evening, August 19 for our annual movie night outside in the courtyard, this year, the 1st Annual Judy Meltzer Cinema Under the Stars.

Ann and Rabbi Joel H. Zaiman

Two summers ago, when Dr. Paul Schneider

completed his tenure as Headmaster of our Krieger Schechter Day School, our congregation’s Board of Trustees proudly and generously provided him with a two year rabbinic role as Director of Congregational Life.

Over the past two years, as for decades before, Dr. Schneider’s insights and caring have helped us expand our synagogue programming and continued to touch lives through his teaching, officiating, and storytelling.

This summer, grateful for Paul Schneider and all that he means to so many of us, we say thank you. Though the planned two years draw to their close, our respect and admiration for our teacher, rabbi, and friend continue.

Thank you is not good-bye. Paul Schneider will continue to be a presence on our campus in his rabbinic office.

He will officiate during the coming High Holy Days in the Stulman Auditorium Service on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Rabbi Schneider will continue to be available by request for wedding celebrations and funeral observances. He’ll also continue as a teacher in our community, as may be scheduled.

Paul, we are grateful for your devotion and thoughtfulness over the past two years. You are a genuine example of Torah values and derekh eretz, as well as a cherished friend. Thank you very much!

Thank You Rabbi Paul Schneider

Cancer Patient Resource for the Chizuk Amuno CommunityBarbara Einhorn, a cancer survivor and longtime member of Chizuk, has offered to volunteer as a Certified Patient Navigator for cancer patients. She works with patients and families, navigating the complex and often confusing systems in cancer centers and hospitals, obtaining accurate information and services.

Barbara can explain complimentary services and resources offered to assist patients from diagnosis through treatment to survivorship. These resources

address countless issues, including stress reduction and well being, support groups, therapies, nutrition, massage and biofeedback, to name a few, enabling patients and their families to move from panic to powerful.

We welcome Barbara as a volunteer who can provide supportive service to members of our congregation who are in need.
