Message from Rabbi Stephen Slater

SHAVUOT AS A MODEL FOR JEWISH EDUCATION I am so thankful for the extraordinary Shavuot Torah Study this year at Beth-El. Each of you who came helped to make it a huge success. Each of you who planned, cooked and invited people made this brilliant evening a reality. We have hosted many, many excellent programs this year. I could use Simchat Torah, the Holocaust remembrance event, the Prayer Gathering for Shalom, Sisterhood’s Brunch with Bethany, or Men’s Club Super Bowl Party/Fundraiser, Shabbat Ruach, the Installation, the congregational bus trip to Montgomery, the Volunteer Awards Weekend, one of the many evenings hosting visiting Jewish groups, or one of our many joyous weddings, b’nai mitzvah or heartfelt Shabbat celebrations of special anniversaries or birthdays as an example. It is this Shavuot that I want to hold up as a particularly excellent model for the new direction that we are now taking together at Temple Beth-El.

Can you imagine that on Erev Shavuot, 75 people turned out in Birmingham, Alabama, for high quality Torah study that lasted late into the evening? Can you imagine that the Torah was being taught by lay people, not the professional rabbis? And the study of Torah brought people closer together. The Torah became relevant for people in a new way. And the Torah that we shared brought generations of Jews together in important ways. This is what makes me excited about being Jewish. And this is a model for how we can become a thriving Jewish community right here in Birmingham.

Lay Led Torah Our study of Torah led to deeper, more substantive conversations. It added wisdom, and it drew out the wisdom of many seated around the table. Torah connects us in surprising ways.

Torah Connects Us in Surprising Ways I saw conversations happening that might otherwise never have happened. I joined in with a group of young parents discussing approaches to parenting because we were studying a story about Moses and his mother. Our conversations connected people across the generations. I saw non-members and members, new members and longtime members together. I saw young and old people together, who normally would never have had the occasion for these deeper interactions around the ideas of Torah.

Torah Creates Deeper Listening We listened to each other more deeply. We even discovered some places where opinions divided, and therefore practiced pluralism.

Volunteer Driven Programming I like that the whole planning process was volunteer-driven and that this percolated from outside the Temple as an expressed need. Also, this was a huge fulfillment of my own vision for our congregation. When those things are aligned it's ideal. My vision for a congregation is that we become a driving community where people are learning and growing in their understanding of Judaism and their practice.

It is also an example of how we can respond to a great idea, and become enablers for excellence. This vision did not come from myself or my staff. Instead, Bethany saw the way to get congregants teaching Torah. Esther and Gail Schuster made it possible. Roz Bloomston, Shirley Froehlich, Pam Ruttenberg and Hannah Helman each baked the delicious cakes that we ate. Sherri Weissman sponsored the coffee from Filter that made it so easy to stay up way too late! (See pg. 5 for a full list of volunteers!)

This Shavuot, we breathed new life into our age-old tradition. It was good to see you at Sinai this year, as we received the Torah anew. I look forward to continuing learning and growing in Judaism, as we become a thriving Jewish community, right here in Birmingham, Alabama.

RECOGNIZING ACHIEVEMENT:

CONFIRMATION, MESCH ESSAY AND FEIGELSON AWARDS, RUFFNER

MOUNTAIN CELEBRATION

The arrival of Memorial Day means summer has arrived. It also reflects a moment of achievement. We are very proud of the achievements of our youth--the students who studied Hebrew Jewish practice, ethics, and history during Sunday and Shabbat classes, the confirmands who studied with Rabbi Stephen, the youth who participated (and led) programs during the year. We want to sheb nachas, share our pride, with the congregation on some recent successes of our youth and staff.

• Confirmation Service Leadership: We extend a big mazal tov to this year's confirmation class: Lillian Goldstein, Hannah Halpern, Raffi Ivker, Clara Lapidus and Ellie Sabel. The confirmands enjoyed a trip to Atlanta, led by Sarah Metzger, to visit the Bremen Jewish History Museum and Six Flags in early May, and they ably led our Confirmation Shabbat Service on May 11. View the entire Confirmation service on livestream.

• Mesch Essay Award: Congratulations to Ellie Sabel, this year's Rabbi Abraham Mesch Essay Award winner. Rabbi Stephen assigned the class 3 possible topics: God, other religions, and sacred relationships. Ellie's essay focused on her personal approach to God, and was shared during the Confirmation service. Below are excerpts and a link to the complete, award-winning essay.

• Marissa Feigelson Award: Congratulations to Hannah Halpern, the recipient of this year's Marissa Feigelson award for community service.

• Mountain Nature Preserve Lag B'omer Celebration: Our L'dor V'dor Religious School closed out the school year in high fashion this past Sunday, with Lag B'omer activities, a history hike, singing, and s'mores. Photo highlights at right.

Thank you to our teachers-Kelley Jefferson, Riva Cullinan, Robin Benjamin and Martin Klinger; our teacher aides Julia Goldberg and Kaitlyn Jefferson; Sarah Metzger, Rabbi Stephen, Bob Greenberg and Rebecca Rothman for coordinating and planning the year of learning; and to parents who studied, played and schlepped their kids and our youth with commitment and care. Wishing all a safe Memorial Day and restful summer!

APPROACHING GOD, MY WAY (EXCERPTED) BY: ELLIE SABEL

Two documents from our Confirmation class directly discuss God: God, and The Six Paths. The first document listed has poems and small articles throughout, each carrying weighted words and hidden meanings about God. It describes God in an array of metaphors and similes beautifully written and pleasing to the ear, leaving readers yearning for more of the figurative language that happens to describe exactly what God is. The problem is, it doesn't tell you what God is. He is 'ineffable', and awe-provoking, and everything is secondary to Him. But what does God do, what are His thoughts, why are we important in His eyes? The Torah states that God loves us because we are Jewish. But how do we know this? This is where the second article comes in. It lists five different paths to find God: the path of belief, the path of independence, the path of disbelief, the path of return, and the path of exploration. By listing these five particular paths, this article seems to be putting people into a box-- five optional boxes, granted, but a limited number of ways to seek and understand that which cannot be understood (i.e., God). Therefore, even though the Torah and many different contemporary pieces give us excellent commentaries on the idea of God, it is up to us, the people, to find God for ourselves...

...Many believe in a different god than ours. Many people believe in multiple gods. Many people believe in a higher being who

they insist isn't any type of god. Many people claim not to believe in a god at all. But the people who believe differently from us

aren't wrong. They all believe in someone or something, be it big or small, real or not. And if God is as we say, all encompassing,

then everyone, one way or another, believes in God. For me, though my approach is still evolving, I am hopeful that continued

connection to my Jewish heritage will generate a closer connection to God.

The following text was emailed to the congregation in May.

Message from TBE Board

PAGE 11 SUMMER 2019

Fellow congregants,

By the time you are reading this, I will have already started the second half of my presidency. Time sure does fly when you are busy taking care of business on fellow congregants’ behalf.

You should be proud of all that we have done together over these last 12 months. Among the many accomplishments:

• Thirty new memberships and seven conversions to expand our synagogue family.

• Healthy overall attendance during Shabbat, holidays, and events.

• Increases in membership participation in TBE programming, education, and other activities.

• Making our own mark on the map as a Civil Rights hub, welcoming over 1600 visitors for educational tours, some in partnership with our friends at the Birmingham Holocaust Education Center and Birmingham Jewish Federation.

• Men’s Club and Sisterhood enjoying banner years in member participation. The Men’s Club first ever Super Bowl fundraiser as well as Sisterhood’s Breakfast with Bethany, by themselves, were extraordinarily successful.

• Creating diverse programming and activities, organized by our various committees. For example, the Social Action Committee, chaired by Dalia Abrams, held successful donation drives benefitting local charities and facilitated the Legacy Museum bus trip to Montgomery, Habitat for Humanity Build Days, and a field trip to the Southern Environmental Center.

• Continued collaboration partnerships with other local Jewish agencies. The most widely known such partnership was the communal program for peace “Standing With Pittsburgh: A Prayer Gathering for Shalom,” which we hosted. Representatives from all local shuls and Jewish agencies came together and organized a deeply spiritual vigil that drew visitors across the entire faith spectrum. In my humble opinion, we witnessed TBE at its finest hour on Tuesday night, October 30, 2018.

While we should celebrate our many successes, we are not resting on our laurels. Instead, we are already looking ahead in 2019-2020, planning all kinds of opportunities for further community involvement, engagement and interaction.

As I enter these final 12 months of my presidency, my own goal for TBE remains the same today, just as when I began my term 12 short months ago: to leave TBE in even better shape than I found it.

We are excited to engage with each of you in our continued Jewish journey.

With warmest regards, Dan Weinrib, TBE President

Hannah Helman and Arlene Fisher invite you to become a part of this year’s Torah Fund campaign … a campaign to ensure our legacy to future generations of Conservative Jews by providing:

Rabbis Cantors Educators and Administrators for Day Schools and Synagogue Schools Synagogue Administrators Social Workers Scholars Professional and Lay Leaders Researchers

Chesed means “kindness” in Hebrew. The word can also be translated as “lovingkindness,” to

convey the deep love that animates Jewish acts of kindness, done without thought of reward. The Bible has numerous examples of Chesed, such as Abraham and Sarah welcoming three strangers to their tent in the heat of the day; Abraham’s servant’s prayer for a wife for Isaac, answered by Rebecca who offers water to him and to his camels; and Ruth, who shows loyalty and kindness to Naomi, adopting her religion and peoplehood, after Naomi has experienced great loss. The rabbinic tradition enacted many laws to formalize our commitment to kindness, making Chesed one of the three central pillars of Jewish life, as Shimon HaTzaddik taught: “The world rests on three things, on Torah, on service of God, and on deeds of kindness” (Pirkei Avot 1:2). The 5780 (2019-2020) Torah Fund pin depicts a heart surrounded by three circles, one larger

than the next. This symbolizes the heart of kindness, which Jews enact in ever-widening realms of generosity: from family, to community, to the larger world; from North America, to Israel, to the world; or from Sisterhood, to region, to the larger world of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism. And as it is said in Psalm 89, may we build a world of kindness.

LEVELS OF GIVING Associate Patron - $600

Guardians - $300 Benefactors - $180

Our campaign begins July 1. All who have supported our campaign in previous years - please renew your commitment. Not a current supporter? Join us!
