Haveirim Y’karim – Dear Friends –

“The new normal.”

Most of us are probably already ge�ing

a li�le weary of hearing that phrase.

Mostly because the “new normal” keeps

changing all the time.

There’s no question about it though:

things are different – very different! –

than they were just a few months ago.

You probably heard me say that my un-

dergraduate degree was in Ecology, Ethology, and Evolution. We

tend to think of “evolution” as that process that plays out over

many generations – thousands, even millions of years. But evolu-

tion is also driven by sudden dramatic events. A radical change in

environment, a sudden depletion of resources, an unexpected shift

in the landscape: those species or individuals that can adapt to the

“new normal” will flourish. Those that can’t adapt will struggle.

When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit, none of us could have pre-

dicted just how far-reaching the effects would be. Here in Orlando,

we even joked, “I’m not going to start worrying until Disney shuts

down!” And then it did.

Every one of us – every person, every family, every organization,

every business – found ourselves scrambling across unfamiliar,

uncharted, and nerve-wracking territory.

We certainly were at Ohev Shalom. But our thoughtful and dedi-

cated lay leadership, in full partnership with our hard-working

staff, labored tirelessly to hammer out a strategy, often having to

reshape it hour by hour, as new information came in. As a result,

our employees kept their jobs and our synagogue family contin-

ued to gather, although now in virtual formats.

Now, here we are – in a new phase of the “new normal”. On the

Shabbat of July 10-11, we’re set to resume in-person services, with

precautions in place to ensure everyone’s health and safety. We

already have plans in motion to enhance our virtual services with

improved video, audio, and production. In-person programs – so-

cially distanced and with safety protocols in place – are underway

for our youth and adult programming is in the works.

But there’s still much more to do, as the “new normal” continues

to emerge and evolve. High Holidays are coming up in September.

Watch for special new experiences and opportunities during Elul,

TAMMUZ ~ AV ~ ELUL 5780 CONGREGATION OHEV SHALOM JULY / AUGUST 2020 • PAGE 3

Dear Friends,

I am certain that

many of you feel the

way I do about this

pandemic situation.

Enough already

with singing and

chanting to an emp-

ty room. And that’s

just me at home! Seriously, the biggest prob-

lem I have during services is my attempt to

daven with proper kavanah, purpose and in-

tention. It is especially noticeable when lead-

ing a Piano Shabbat service. I have spent

years trying to put together a service that I

can play that involves a lot of congregational

participation. With no congregation to sing

along, it feels more like a show than a service.

That’s why I will be moving the Piano Shabbat

up to the bimah from now on to at least make

it “feel” more like a service to me. The added

bonus is that, when the congregation does

come back, I’ll have better social distancing!

In truth, Covid-19 has changed the way I do

almost everything here. I have been teaching

students on-line. It is great for many par-

ents, who no longer need to make the drive to

COS. I must admit that I do not feel as effec-

tive an instructor using this method. Yes, it’s

better than nothing, and there are many edu-

cators who are able to teach very effectively in

this situation. I, on the other hand, am like

an old dog learning new tricks. During my 12

years at Walt Disney World, every show I

played was before a live audience. When I

came here, there was always a live congrega-

tion. I’ve never done TV or movies. Just the

thought of singing in an empty room, other

than the shower, seems absurd to me.

Having said all that, I know that the ability to

hold services virtually has been a wonderful

chance for so many of you to hear the words

and melodies that you are used to. I know

that some folks are really comforted by the

knowledge that their service, albeit remote,

continued every week. Jewish continuity is

something we are all concerned about. Re-

mote streaming of services is a corollary. It

lets us know that no matter what the difficul-

ty, Judaism continues to thrive. When one

considers all the horrible hardships that have

been placed upon our people over the millen-

nium, having to go to the synagogue remotely

probably ranks very near the bottom of the

list.

So, let’s get ready for masks, hand sanitizer

and effective social distancing. Is it ideal?

No, but at least we will once again be able to

gather to pray, sing and see our friends. Sor-

ry, no eating yet. Here is some good news--

that will be back before you know it. I am

very excited to see those of you who are com-

fortable attending services this summer. I

look at it this way: On Purim everyone wears

a mask. Purim is the happiest day in the

Jewish calendar. And now, everyday will

seem a little like Purim. I know, it is a

stretch. Let’s turn our Covid into KAVOD,

holiness.

Fondly,

Cantor Robuck

A NOTE FROM YOUR CANTOR

Dear Friends,

My kids used to watch

Phineas and Ferb, an ani-

mated TV show with a

theme song that begins

with the improbable

line, “Thereʹs 104 days

of summer vacation,

and school comes along

just to end it . . . .”

With summer break

typically lasting a li�le

less than 75 days in

Florida, the title characters of the show seemed to

have a pre�y good life. Li�le did we know, dis-

tance learning notwithstanding, that students

would be on “break” from school for more than

104 days by the end of June, with another six

weeks to go before they return to campus and He-

brew School here at Congregation Ohev Shalom.

We hope.

The year 2020 has been an incredibly stressful time

for just about every person in the world as we cope

with the COVID-19 pandemic that has upended

life as we know it. It is human nature to adapt,

and Congregation Ohev Shalom has adapted well!

Our incredible clergy, staff and volunteers are

working daily to provide virtual services, learning

and programming and to prepare COS for reopen-

ing to “in person” services and activities.

The COS Reopening Task Force has been meeting

regularly and has prepared a comprehensive reo-

pening plan. The task force has representatives

from a variety of COS interests (i.e., ritual, pro-

gramming, education, youth), includes three phy-

sicians, and has received guidance from the Orlan-

do Health Business Ready team focusing on

COVID-19 prevention. COS plans to return to “in-

person” congregational life in phases and with nu-

merous safety precautions in place. Many congre-

gants are ready to return to the synagogue build-

ing while others are not ready to return yet. We

respect these individual decisions and will contin-

ue to engage our members whether they are in the

synagogue or in their homes.

COS recently issued a survey to learn more about

members’ intentions regarding Shabbat and High

Holiday services. The number one comment re-

garding virtual services was succinct: Get a be�er

camera. This was not news to COS leadership, but

it reaffirmed our commitment to bring a be�er vis-

ual experience to congregants a�ending services

remotely.

Several generous members have donated to a spe-

cial “technology fund” to enable COS to purchase

a new camera and make significant related up-

grades that will allow Ohev Shalom to provide a

be�er virtual experience for congregants partici-

pating from home. Even when we return to

“normal,” the enhanced technology will allow

Ohev Shalom to provide a high quality visual ex-

perience for anyone participating virtually in Shab-

bat services and other programs in the sanctuary.

We are excited to move forward with this project

in the coming weeks. Thank you very much to our

donors who have made this technology upgrade

possible!

On another note, COS is beginning to prepare the

Community Ad Book/Membership Directory for

2020-2021. The forms for renewing your business

ad or greeting are in the process of being mailed to

you. Please call Meryl in the COS office if you

have moved or your contact information has other-

wise changed since last year or if you need to make

other changes to the information listed in the 2019-

2020 directory.

Finally, the High Holiday Commi�ee is meeting

regularly to plan meaningful High Holiday ser-

vices for congregants a�ending in person and vir-

tually. We may not have another 104 days left of

summer vacation (we hope), but we do know we

have about 75 days until the High Holidays. But

who’s counting?

I wish our entire COS family continued good

health.

L’shalom,

Rachel D. Gebaide

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Our name says it all. We are a true sisterhood…

women who start as strangers, become friends and

over time, through shared experiences and shared

values, build bonds that make us feel like sisters.

We are a diverse, commi�ed, caring

group, dedicated to a wide variety of reli-

gious, educational, social, philanthropic,

and advocacy efforts.

For the past several months, an enthusiastic group

of Sisterhood members met, via Zoom, to conduct

a mini-strategic plan. We were delighted in the

many strengths of our Sisterhood. We discussed

opportunities to improve perceived weaknesses.

What became very evident is the realization of one

of our major strengths… the dedication and deter-

mination of our past leaders and the desire to sus-

tain a strong Sisterhood.

From these meetings, three action plans were se-

lected to become our initial focus: a new Sister-

hood structure, an updated website and a new

logo.

A new structure to encompass the key areas of a

thriving Sisterhood was developed. To use the

analogy of a tree, the new structure has a very

strong trunk, or core, that extends into two branch-

es, in our case an Operations function and a Pro-

gramming function. Within Operations, lead by Es,

we “branch” out into Communications, Financial

and Outreach areas. The Programming “branch,”

led by Sandi, includes Events/Programs and Youth

and Family.

We want to welcome and introduce you to the oth-

er members of our Sisterhood Executive Leader-

ship Team: Debbie Bellinkoff- Outreach Manager,

Jaime Gold – Financial Manager, Susan Rosen -

Communications Manager, Erika Siegel - Youth

and Family Manager and Sarah Siegel – Programs

Manager. Rounding out our team is Roslyn Le-

venthal, Secretary and Marj Smith, our Parlimen-

tarian.

In addition to a new structure, very soon we will

launch an updated web page. Potential members

can learn about Sisterhood and have an opportuni-

ty to complete an on-line membership application.

Our new Sisterhood logo, an eternal flame with a

heart, is filled with meaningful symbolism. For

many years, the Sisterhood has taken pride in be-

ing “the heart of the synagogue.” We want to carry

that special meaning into the future. Ohev

Shalom’s Ner Tamid symbolizes the warmth of

the traditions of Jewish life and calls to mind G-d’s

presence and care of His people. The role that the

Sisterhood plays in “keeping the flame,” by doing

miLvot and caring of family and community, is

incorporated into the new logo through the sym-

bols of the flame and the heart.

Even though I have been

mostly staying at home,

Ohev Shalom membership

has never been far from my

mind. Thank you Rabbi Kay

and Cantor Robuck for the

beautiful livestream ser-

vices, especially the guitar

and piano Shabbats which have been so inspira-

tional. Anyone who has not been part of these ser-

vices from home has been missing out.

I am ge�ing to start work on the 2020-2021 Com-

munity Ad book and Membership Directory. If

your address, email or phone number has changed,

or was incorrect in a previous directory, please

email Meryl, at [email protected] .

It is not too soon to be thinking about your ad or

greeting to support all that Ohev Shalom is doing

during Covid 19, to keep learning going onward

and everyone connected. Of course, we are all

looking forward to resumption of our normal pro-

grams, activities and services on Concourse Park-

way. We appreciate the generous support from

our previous ad sponsors and hope we will be able

to include some new sponsors this year in our new

book. Please look for a mailing later this month.

If you would like to help with our Membership or

Directory commi�ees, please contact me at

Stay well and I look forward to seeing you soon,

the Jewish month leading up to Rosh Hashanah

and the tradition time for introspection and self-

assessment. And there will be more ways to en-

gage with your Ohev Shalom family – in person

and otherwise.

Thanks to you, Ohev Shalom has shown how

adaptable it is to these unprecedented times.

We’ve not only come through the crisis, we’re

be�er and stronger than ever. Kol hakavod to all of

you – it’s such an honor to serve as your rabbi.

The world is a different

place since our last bulletin,

something none of us could

have imagined. The change

has brought sadness, confu-

sion, anger, grief, and frus-

tration, but it has also given

us hope, reflection, apprecia-

tion, and the realization that

we need to listen, be educated, open minded, re-

think our priorities, and see new ways of looking

at situations and the importance of kindness.

As soon as the decision to close buildings and be-

come virtual happened, the teaching staff went

into action. There was no doubt or question that

we needed to keep our students connected on a

regular basis if for no other reason than to see their

friends. We agreed to maintain our two day a

week program. Being that this was new territory

for all of us and some of us being more tech savvy

than others, we pre�y much proceeded by the seat

of our pants and had to adapt. Our vocabulary

changed quickly from books, supplies, room us-

age, snack schedule to zoom, break out rooms,

waiting rooms, private links, and our favorite,

mute! We quickly learned that you can’t do the

same kind of teaching virtually as you do in the

classroom. This was a bit of a struggle because the

students may not learn the same amount. That’s

ok. They learned that their community is here for

them regardless of the circumstances and that be-

ing Jewish is who you are and not something you

do. Our a�endance was amazing. We realized that

there were no extracurricular conflicts preventing

students from a�ending but they could have cho-

sen not to participate. I am grateful to the parents

who made sure their children were logged in.

Screen fatigue was real and they could have given

their children a pass, but they didn’t. Our

Madrichim continued to log in and be part of their

class even if they did not have a lot to do, although

controlling the waiting room, private cha�ing stu-

dents and leading games became part of their re-

sponsibilities. We believed we were doing the

right thing and that was confirmed for us when we

held a Shalom U’Lihitraot Parade on the last day.

Closure is important and we all needed to see each

other to bring closure. Teachers and Madrichim

were safely distanced around the entire parking

lot and families drove through stopping at the ta-

bles of their class to say goodbye. Tracey, Rabbi

Kay and I were at the end of the line, playing some

of our favorite Jewish songs on the speaker and

gave out goodie bags. We estimate that we had 50

-70% of our families show up. So many of the cars

were decorated and students held up signs of

thanks and appreciation. Truth be told, I wasn’t

sure how it would work and if people would show

up, so when the cars started lining up, I became

very emotional and am even emotional now as I

write this. The love and appreciation we felt, see-

ing the smiles of our students and parents saying

they missed us and being told that we nailed vir-

tual school and should share what we did with

other schools, confirmed that we did the right

thing.

We held Kitah Zayeen/7th grade graduation virtu-

The Ohev Shalom Men’s Club continues to func-

synagogue, even in the times of COVID.

We continue to support the religious school. We

also continue to support and promote the bicycling

club and the weekday minyan. We are looking

forward to the return of in-person services, so we

can resume assisting as ushers.

We recently had an afternoon planned of social

distancing at Leu Gardens – it was postponed due

to weather, but we are looking for a suitable date

to reschedule. We are teaming up with a number

of other local Jewish groups to promote the aware-

ness of and treatment of substance use disor-

ders. We are looking for a suitable virtual “recess”

activity.

We wish all in the congregation and in the Orlan-

ally. It was special and for sure memorable. We

even took a zoom class picture that will hang with

the other pictures in the school wing. Zoom al-

lowed family members and friends who don’t live

in Orlando to join us. We also celebrated Shabbat

Kavod, when we install and discharge our youth

boards, honor our graduating seniors, Madrichim

and teachers. This year we say goodbye to a few

of our teachers. Yael Weinstein was with us for

this year teaching Kitah Bet/second grade. Yael is

a Jewish educator whose breadth of knowledge

and love of teaching benefi�ed her students and

fellow teachers. Her tech savvy really came in

handy as she patiently held many of our hands.

Be�y Monroe has been teaching Pre K at Ohev

since 2006 and our youngest campers counselor.

She is passionate about Jewish education for

young children and was loved and trusted by her

students and parents. Isaac Berger has been teach-

ing at Ohev for 29 years. He lives the life he teach-

es and is passionate about ensuring our Jewish fu-

ture. When I arrived he was teaching 7th grade,

then was the computer teacher (those were the

days when not everyone had a computer, tablet)

and his final assignment as the part of the 5th

grade dynamic duo. Isaac was also the house

chairman in the old building. He has been a pillar

of our school and his presence and contributions

will be missed. To all three of our teachers, we say

Todah Rabbah and may they go from strength to

strength.

In addition to Hebrew school, DDD, USY, Kadima,

KibbuL Ohev Family, and Mishpacha Sheli con-

tinued virtually. We couldn’t figure out how to do

the play and that was disappointing and we had

to postpone MACHANEH OHEV. BUT we are in

the midst of MACHANEH OHEV “babayit”

Home Edition two mornings a week. Our theme is

bringing Israel to Ohev and each day we visit an-

other place in Israel. We even have live visitors

from Israel. We will be doing MACHANEH Ohev

Lite July 27-31 in person. It is modified and will

take place in two sessions, 9-12:30 and 1:30-5. It is

limited to 50 campers per session and we already

have a waiting list for Session Alef, which is in the

morning. Some of our teens went on a virtual tour

of Israel for the week of June 15-19 with a live tour

guide in Israel in conjunction with Jewish National

Fund. Eric and I have been enjoying welcoming

Shabbat on Facebook live each Friday. It has made

our Shabbat more special and meaningful.

We are looking ahead to the new school year.

School will begin August 16. We are looking at

three scenarios, all in person, all virtual and a hy-

brid of both. Regardless of the direction we take,

we will need to plan differently. Registration is

presently under way!

I am writing this on the 4th anniversary of Pulse.

Since that time we have seen other incidents of

specific groups of people targeted simply for

whom they are, including Jews. At the time of the

tragedy, we all express our outrage and vow never

to let it happen again, yet it is happening again.

Our history teaches us clearly that we can never

forget. We teach our children that people were

created to be partners with God to take care of the

world and continue to repair what is broken. This

is what is meant by Tikun Olam. Speak up when

we see a wrong, be open to other’s opinions, edu-

cate ourselves on the issue, put ourselves in oth-

ers’ shoes, and as it says in the Holiness Code,

treat others as you want to be treated.

The situation is ever changing and we can only

plan based on the present. By the time this gets to

your home, things could have changed again. It is

my hope that we all make smart decisions and we

can be together again in person!

Stay well, stay safe!

L’Shalom

by RABBI DAVID KAY

Dear Rabbi –

The pandemic hit and everything went virtual. Okay –

it’s an extreme situation. But does that mean we can

start doing things on Shabbat we weren’t supposed to

do before? Where does that end? And what happens

when the pandemic eventually ends?

-- COVID Confused

Dear CC –

Making a VERY long story short here…

Despite all the jokes (“How many Jewish mothers

does it take to change a light bulb?” “That’s okay –

I’ll sit in the dark!”), Judaism isn’t big on martyr-

dom. Extreme, potentially life-threatening situa-

tions call for leniency and adaptive interpretations

of Jewish law and custom. When the situation is

no longer extreme and life-threatening, the lenien-

cy and adaptive interpretations no longer apply.

Usually.

We can’t pretend that the adjustments made

throughout the Jewish world during this sha’at ha-

d’hak (“time of extraordinary circumstances”)

won’t have a lingering and probably permanent

effect on some aspects of everyday Jewish life. At

the same time, emergency plans are for…well,

emergencies.

For example, our congregation was already

streaming Shabbat services live over the internet a

long time before COVID-19 hit. We’ll continue that

after the pandemic is history – just as we always

did. What’s going to be different is how we

stream. We’re having to upgrade and add camer-

as, audio feeds, and software to make the virtual

service experience the best we can. Those im-

provements won’t be abandoned once people start

coming back to services in person.

On the other hand, while our building was closed,

for instance, we counted devices connected to our

Livestream as part of a minyan. As long as we had

10 or more devices connected, we could do the full

service, even though it was just Cantor and me in

the sanctuary. Once we’re back to doing services

in person, though, we can’t rationalize counting

connected devices. Folks will still be watching

online, of course, but we’ll be counting people pre-

sent in the room for the minyan.

We’re learning how technology can be used within

the framework of Jewish law. We’re answering

questions – like yours – that not only hadn’t been

answered before, many of them hadn’t even been

asked. The most impressive part of it all is that

you’re asking – and we continuing working to-

gether as a community to find authentic and prac-

tical answers.

Stay safe and well!

Rabbi” questions by e-mail at
