The Temple Sholom Selma Maisel Nursery School is excited to announce the launch of a full STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) program this fall to enhance its pre-school curriculum.

The STEAM educational approach uses these specific areas of study to guide student inquiry, dialogue and critical thinking. This program will primarily involve hands-on experiences and materials that engage young learners. Children ultimately will have the freedom to learn and explore.

“When we stay on the cutting edge of early childhood education, our students reap the benefits,” said SMNS Director David Cohen, who attended an Early Childhood STEM Conference in Pasadena, CA, earlier this year. “We see public and private elementary schools investing in these programs and we want to ensure our students will arrive ready for the challenge.”

NEW STEAM PROGRAM TO LAUNCH THIS FALL AT THE SELMA MAISEL NURSERY SCHOOL

This year, Temple Sholom will have a diverse and talented musical team consisting of Sheldon Low, Adam Feder and our new Cantorial Soloists, Mikhal Weiner and Gòn Halevi. Mikhal and Gòn will join us for the High Holidays and throughout the year at various services, including bar and bat mitzvahs. Sheldon returns for Family High Holiday Services, as well as Shabbat on the Sound and other musical Shabbats. Adam will increase his presence at Temple Sholom by joining the nursery school at their Friday morning Shabbat celebrations and at other special programs. Additionally, he will continue to work in the Learning Center and will accompany our students at each of their grade-level Shabbat programs. Sheldon and Adam will also take turns leading Pajama Shabbats.

Dear Temple Sholom Family,

Summer is always especially meaningful; an opportunity to get away and enjoy quality time with family and friends. For Roseanne and I, we are especially looking forward to our time in Israel. Faith will be with her Ramah Israel Seminar program, and Simon will be finishing out his six month Aliyah Ulpan/Internship program and beginning his next stage of residency in Israel since making Aliyah in January.

Besides visiting and studying in Jerusalem, we look forward to some quiet days at the beach in Tel Aviv, and visiting with our Israeli friends. The opportunity to refresh in Israel also gives me the time to begin High Holiday reflection, study and writing. What will be the themes to explore this Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur? How can we continue together our spiritual growth as individuals and a community? As we welcome our new Cantorial Soloists, Mikhal and Gòn, how can we re-access our sacred liturgy with melodies both familiar and new?

Locally, the summer is a time for intimate worship services and relaxed programming. I encourage families to attend a Friday night or Saturday morning service. Attend a summer barbecue or our annual Shabbat on the Sound. Explore a few of our weekly Torah classes. Bring a friend, and re-connect and rejuvenate body, mind and soul.

Every day is a gift from God; truly the “Present.” Let’s utilize this summer to nurture our relationships and enjoy the gift of time, both quantity and quality. May this summer bring us all abundant blessings and love.

B’Shalom U’Vracha, Rabbi Mitch

A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENTIn Praise of Spring Rain

Sing to the Lord a song of praise, Chant a hymn with a lyre to our God, Who covers the heavens with clouds, Provides rain for the earth, Makes mountains put forth grass. -Psalm 147:7-8

Thankfully our spring rain has brought relief to our regional drought. We also have Jewish holidays and programs to celebrate.

Lag BaOmer (Hebrew: ל״ג בעומר), which began at sundown on Saturday, May 13, is the holiday that marks the passing of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. Modern Jewish tradition links the holiday to the Bar Kokhba Revolt against the Roman Empire (132-135 CE). In Israel, it is celebrated as a symbol for the fighting Jewish spirit.

The Festival of Shavuot (Hebrew: שבועות, lit. “Weeks”) begins on the evening of May 30. Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire Israelite nation assembled at Mount Sinai, although the association between the giving of the Torah and Shavuot is not explicit in the Biblical text. The holiday is one of the Shalosh Regalim, the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer. When the Torah is read in the synagogue on Shavuot, we experience anew the Sinaitic transmission of the Torah by God. Just as the Sinai event was attended by every Jewish man, woman and child, so too, every Jewish person should make every effort to be present in a synagogue, as the Ten Commandments are read from the Torah. There is also special significance to bringing children, even the youngest of infants, to hear the Ten Commandments.

Before God gave the Torah to the Jewish people, He demanded guarantors. The Jews made a number of suggestions, all rejected by God, until they declared, “Our children will be our guarantors that we will cherish and observe the Torah.” God immediately accepted them and agreed to give the Torah.

Let us make sure to bring along all our “guarantors” to the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. For our youngest children, we will have a Tot Shavuot program on Thursday, June 1, the second day of Shavuot, led by Danette Meigel,

SMNS music specialist, and David Cohen, our Selma Maisel Nursery School director.

As the school year wraps up, I’d like to offer a special note of thanks to David Cohen and Director of Congregational Learning Barry Gruber, as well as both school staffs, for another excellent school year. I also want to extend to Phyllis Lyons good wishes and many thanks for her 13 years at the helm of our nursery school.

While the halls of Temple Sholom are quieter during the summer, we encourage both families and congregants to come to programs that continue throughout June, July and August. I look forward to seeing many of you at our annual Shabbat on the Sound on Friday, July 21 at Tod’s Point in Greenwich. Sheldon Low will be our very special musical guest that night.

Additionally, our two BBQ’s, scheduled for Thursdays, July 13 and August 3, are a great way to check in during the summer.

To all have a safe, healthy and wonderful summer.

B’Shalom, Ben Kriegler, President

Cantor Asa’s Farewell Concert: Songs to Celebrate New Beginnings

Please welcome Mikhal and Gòn to Temple Sholom.

Mikhal Weiner was born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel. She studied composition, songwriting and vocal performance at Rimon College of Jazz and Contemporary Music in Israel. In 2011, she continued her studies at Berklee College of Music where she graduated with a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus) in composition and conducting. Mikhal has extensive experience in the music world and her debut album Daughter of the Sea was recently released. Mikhal also co-founded BANOT, an all-female Jewish band that has participated in Temple Sholom’s Musical Services this past year. She is currently the Director of Education at The New Shul in New York and has experience tutoring bar and bat mitzvah and Hebrew students, as well as fulfilling other educational roles in a variety of Jewish organizations in Massachusetts. “Temple Sholom has been such a welcoming community,” said Mikhal. “I’m very

excited to continue the wonderful work Cantor Asa has done and to work alongside Gòn to create a wonderful year musically for the community and the bar and bat mitzvah students.”

Gòn Halevi is a singer, pianist, actor and composer. Born and raised in Israel, he is known to Israeli audiences from numerous projects. These include the production of The Sound of Music at the Israeli Opera House in Tel Aviv, for which he received rave reviews in his part as “Rolf”; Kshe’or Dolek Bachalonech — a hugely successful tribute to the greatest Israeli composer of the 20th century, Sasha Argov (alongside singer Roni Ginossar); and Nostalgia — a program of his own beautiful arrangements of internationally known Israeli standards. Gòn is currently studying for a Bachelor’s degree in opera singing at Mannes School of Music in Manhattan. He graduated from Berklee with a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus) in composition and conducting.

Mazel Tov to our B’nai Mitzvah

Jonah is a 7th grader at Blind Brook Middle School in Rye Brook. In his free time, he enjoys playing tennis, basketball, flag football and the guitar. He spends his summers at Camp Starlight in Starlight, Pennsylvania. For his mitzvah project, he worked with Mended Little Hearts, an organization for children with congenital heart defects. He collected items for hospital care packages for the children and their families. To Jonah, becoming a Bar Mitzvah means taking responsibility within your community. Taking on more responsibility as he becomes a Bar Mitzvah is one reason why Jonah sees this as a great achievement in his life.

June 17, 2017

Jonah MayerSon of Ron and Wendy Brother of Sydney and Rory

Kyle is a 7th grader at the Rye County Day School. Kyle’s interests are sports, including baseball, basketball, soccer and football, various fantasy teams, and hanging out with his friends and family. During the summer, Kyle attends Camp Lenox in the Berkshires. For Kyle’s mitzvah project, he has been volunteering at Building One Community, providing homework help on a weekly-basis to immigrant children. To Kyle, becoming a Bar Mitzvah means taking on the responsibility of a Jewish adult and giving back to his community.

June 10, 2017

Kyle BlockSon of Jason and Wendy Brother of Tyler and Ellie

Chad enjoys playing squash, playing the saxophone, shooting, running and drawing. In the past, he has spent his summers at sailing camp, learning how to sail and sailing far out at Tod’s Point, but this summer he hopes to attend squash camp to further his experience in the sport. For his mitzvah project, Chad volunteered at Neighbor to Neighbor, a charity that gives food and clothing to people in need. To Chad, becoming a Bar Mitzvah is very important and symbolizes growing up and getting the responsibilities of a grown-up.

Chad GothelfSon of Erik and Sheelah Brother of Jake and Brooke

Whitney SprungDaughter of Lloyd and Jane Sister of Robert and Jeffrey

Whitney is a 7th grader at Greenwich Academy. She enjoys spending time with friends and playing various sports such as field hockey and tennis. She spends her summer at Camp Laurel South in Maine. She is a Greenwich Academy Community Service Representative and volunteers for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event. Whitney is a budding entrepreneur who runs an online business. For her mitzvah project, she made backpacks of food at the Connecticut Food Bank and is donating a portion of the proceeds from her Bat Mitzvah, and her business, to Doctors without Borders. To Whitney, becoming a Bat Mitzvah means becoming a strong and more active member of the Jewish community.

June 29, 2017

Noah WeinbergSon of Neal and Nurit Brother of Jacqui and Elan

Noah is a 7th grader at Eastern Middle School. He enjoys engineering, math and tennis. Noah’s Bar Mitzvah will be in Jerusalem, Israel. With the celebratory options that Noah was given, he made the decision to have the ceremony in Israel because he wanted to have an experience that will last a lifetime. Becoming a Bar Mitzvah will be a very sentimental moment in Noah’s life as it will further connect him to his religion.

ATTENTION B’NAI MITZVAH FAMILIES

Celebrate your child’s Simcha in Israel!As part of the February 2018 Israel Trip, we will have

a bar/bat mitzvah service with participation from all of our b’nai mitzvah-aged children. We can also

accommodate requests for special personal services.

For more information, contact Lori Baden at 203-542-7172.

WHAT IS A YAHRZEIT?Meaning “Time of Year” in Yiddish, this anniversary commemorates the death of a loved one. It is symbolized by the recitation of the Kaddish prayer and reading of the names of those dearly departed in the Temple. At home, a candle is lit on the eve of Yahrzeit to represent the soul and burns for 24 hours. Tzedakah, a Hebrew word for righteousness and signifying charity, is offered to the family in the form of gifts, donations, or simply emotional support. In this way, we remember our beloved.

Yahrzeit Candles are available for a small donation in the main Temple office.
