Andrew Berlin to be keynote speaker at Annual Meeting The Jewish Federa-

tion’s Annual Meeting will be held on Wednes-day evening, June 6, and will feature Andrew Ber-lin as the guest Bernard H. Natkow Lecturer.

The meeting will be-gin with a hors d’oeuvres and dessert reception at 6:30 PM, with the pro-gram beginning at 7:00 PM. The program in-cludes election of officers, recognition of Federation and Campaign leaders, and presentation of the Youth Awards and the Robert Simon Leadership Award.

“The Business of Mak-ing Memories” is the topic of the keynote ad-dress by Andrew Berlin.

Berlin wasn’t always the successful business man he is today. At one time he was just a high school kid who ran a forklift on the Southside of Chicago. After work, he and his dad would go to ballgames at Comiskey Park where the White Sox played, creating memories that he carried with him, giving birth to dreams that he made re-alities. Today, Berlin is also a Limited Partner of

the Chicago White Sox and the new owner of the South Bend Silver Hawks Minor League Baseball Team.

Berlin is also an attor-ney, and the Chairman and Chief Executive Offi-cer of Berlin Packaging, a leading national supplier of plastic, glass and metal containers.

Our community got lucky when Andrew Berlin bought the South Bend Sil-ver Hawks last fall. He made the commitment to keep the team right here in Michiana for all of us to enjoy. Already, he has put a

consider-able amount of his own money into reno-vating the stadium and the former Sons of Israel Synagogue adjacent to the stadium. The beautiful 111 year-old building will soon reopen as the new team store, but retaining its charm and his-tori character.

RSVPs for the Annual Meeting are requested. Please call 574-233-1164 if you plan to attend.

Jewish Federation Book Club

May’s Book Selection: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

The Book Club participants had enjoyed the lively discussion of “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay” by Michael Chabon during their meeting on May 22. Even though this novel is quite long and not every-one had a chance to finish it , we still had a great conver-sation about this book’s plot and the characters. We talked about how this novel includes the history and development of comic books, the Jewish mysticism story of Golem, mid-20th century American culture, the Holo-caust, U.S. involvement in World War II, Houdini in-spired escape and magic, all within the life stories of two young men – cousins Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay.

Upcoming Book Club dates

Monday, June 18, 2 PM. “Extremely Loud and In-credibly Close” by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Jonathan Safran Foer is best known as the author of his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. In his second book he confronts the traumas of our recent history. Nine-year-old Oskar Schell has embarked on an urgent, secret mission that will take him through the five boroughs of New York. His goal is to find the lock that matches a mysterious key that belonged to his fa-ther, who died in the World Trade Center on the morn-ing of September 11.

Monday, July 23, 2 PM. “The History of Love” by

Nichole Krauss. The Book Club is open to anyone who is interested in

discussing our selections. Call the Federation office for more information, 574-233-1164.

Ruth Eckstein

Ha’Aretz Hatova

On Exhibit through June 22, 2012

About the Artist:

Ruth Eckstein was born in Kibbutz Ginosar by the Lake of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) in 1948, the year the State of Israel was established. Ruth studied at the University of Haifa and earned a teaching degree. She then served in the IDF (Israeli Army) for almost four years. She lived abroad for sometime and taught Hebrew for a while. Upon her return to Israel, she took a position at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, as co-ordinator of academics affairs. After 20 years at the Technion, Ruth retired and moved to the United States with her husband. They now share their time between Haifa, Israel and Evanston, IL.

Because she lives in both countries, she cannot partici-pate in many shows, however, every year, she does have an exhibit. Ruth belongs to Woman Made Gal-lery, an organization of women all over the world based in Chicago. You can see her website for a list of shows and paintings at rutheckstein.womanmade.net. Coming later this year: ♦ Photographer Christopher Stackowicz and Dr. Yael Prizant will show their work on the Jewish Community of Cuba from August through the High Holidays. The exhibition includes incredible photos of life on the is-land (all for sale) and text from Yael’s upcoming book about Cuban theatre.

♦ Todd Hoover’s new photographs in mid-October-November ♦ Watercolor Society Exhibit in December-January. The Federation’s Atrium Gallery is open Mondays through Thursdays, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Fridays, 9 AM to 3:00 PM

Our Lunch ‘n’ Learn sessions are always informative. Here’s a synop-sis of what we learned at our most recent lunches.

Rabbi Steven Leapman: Chemical addiction treatment with a Jewish therapeutic framework

On March 21, Rabbi Steve Leap-man, Licensed Mental Health and Clinical Addictions counselor of Sa-maritan Counseling Center in South Bend spoke to our Lunch ‘n’ Learn about chemical addictions, how they impact on our understanding of the Purim megillah reading, and how chemical addictions are currently treated within a Jewish therapeutic framework and non-Jewish thera-peutic model.

Rabbi Yonah’s 20 Principles from the Gate of Repentance is a thera-peutic Jewish 20-step program in which the participants have 20 affir-mations that they need to think about on a daily basis. The 20 affir-mations are grounded in Jewish text and ideology.

Copies of these principles may be found in the Jewish Family Service office. Contact Lizzie Fagen at 574- 33-1164 x104 , or, e-mail her at lfagen@thejewishfed.org.

Another Jewish resource for those struggling with chemical dependen-cies may be found on the internet web-site: www.jacs.org

Rabbi Leapman also distributed copies of WFS’s (Women for Sobri-ety) “New Life” Acceptance program (www.wfs.org) as well as the 12 Sug-gested Steps of Alcoholics Anony-mous. Both programs have been known to be highly successful in treating those who struggle with chemical dependencies. Copies of these program affirmations are avail-able through Jewish Family Services as well.

Stephanie Scharf Coping with Stress

On May 16, Stephanie Scharf, MSW (Masters in Social Work) and a teacher of psychology and sociology at Brown Mackie College helped us understand the difference between Anxiety and Stress and effective strategies that one can use to cope with stress.

Stephanie taught us that the dif-ference between stress and anxiety is that anxiety is a feeling of apprehen-sion, dread, or nervousness without any clear threat , while stress is a response to an event or situation that is threatening or challenging. This challenging situation will eventually be resolved, whereas anxiety will not.

According to Stephanie, some healthy coping mechanisms to re-duce stress are the following:

♦ Accepting one’s personal limita-

tions ♦ Organization

♦ Social Support ♦ Avoiding negative self-

statements ♦ Finding what “soothes” you ♦ Humor, and ♦ Meditation, Mindfulness, Faith

Coping mechanisms that are not helpful are: ♦ Social isolation ♦ Procrastination ♦ “Masking”/denying emotions ♦ Avoiding responsibility/

playing the victim, and ♦ “Catastrophizing” every situa-

tion For a more detailed understanding of the different categories of stress in one’s life as well as more detailed information about coping mecha-nisms, contact Lizzie Fagen at : lfagen@thejewishfed.org or by phone: 574-233-1164 x104.

Lunch ‘N’ Learn Series: Focus on Elder Law

Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 12:00 noon presentation, 1:00 PM clinic Free Living Wills and Health Care Powers of Attorney Life and death do not fit into a one page legal form. Yes, there is a role for your Power of Attorney for Health Care and for your Living Will, but that is only half way up the mountain. The essential half is conversation: the conver-sation about what healthcare you want.

For National Elder Law Month, Jewish Federation of St. Joseph Valley is working with the Indiana State Bar As-sociation to see that Indiana residents learn more about Living Wills and Health Care Representative Appoint-ments—and get them prepared free.

Please come join your friends and neighbors at our clinic to actually prepare these documents on the spot for those who sign up. (See Lizzie Fagen to sign up ahead of time.)

Those who wish may also sign up to have free health care directives prepared for them by a local attorney at a later time.

Questions? Please call Lizzie Fagen at the Jewish Fed-eration, 574 233-1164 ext 104, or attorney Doug Ger-mann, 291-0022, email 76066.515@CompuServe.com or visit

Kapson and Roland Scholarships available for Jewish students This fall, The Jewish Federation of St. Joseph Valley will once again award scholarships to Jew-ish students in our service area from the Craig and Carol Kapson Scholarship Fund and the Lillian and Harvey Roland Trust.

The Kapson Scholarship helps Jewish students from our area attend a univer-sity, college or technical institute in Indiana. A committee of Jewish com-munity members will re-view eligible candidates based on the motivation of the student to receive a higher education along with merit and financial needs. The Scholarship Fund will allow a new stu-dent each year to be awarded $2,500, with the remaining funds to be di-vided between other stu-dents with a minimum

distribution of $750 per student.

The Lillian and Harvey Roland Schol-arship Fund serves the purpose of providing higher education scholar-ships to matriculating col-lege students of parents who are active in the Jew-ish community and/or are contributors to the Jewish Federation. This Scholar-ship will provide $750 to a student matriculating to Indiana University who have demonstrated aca-demic scholarship and fi-nancial need.

Interested students should contact Debby Grant by email at info@thejewishfed.org or 574-233-1164 to request an application.

From the desk of Yael Farber

I can’t believe June is already here! And that means that on the 25th of this month Camp ideal 2012 will get underway. I am really excited about camp and one of the main reasons for that is the won-derful staff I will get to work with! In the last issue you were already intro-duced to my lovely co-director Eden Lapidor, who will be joining us from Cleveland OH, after two years of meaningful shlichut. Like every year we have six counselors, two counselors per group, one of them is Rebbecca Gamble, who is coming back to us after being our amazing Music Director last year. This year Re-becca, who is a freshman at Miami University, will con-tinue to lead music at camp and will be one of our group counselors. Another college student we have on staff this year is Ashleigh Behr, who is a freshman at Purdue University, and is the president of their local Hillel. Alan Rozenblit who has been a part of camp ever since he was a camper and continued later to be a CIT and has been a part of staff during the last two years as the sports director. We also have some new people on board, and we are very excited to have some new energy, and sure we will benefit from their experience; Dov Sloman Adam Duke and Dana Brown.

A few more valuable staff members are; our wonderful art director Cassie Graber, I can’t wait to see what she is prepar-ing for our yearly art pro-ject this year. We have two more veterans Moshe Friedland and Nicole Martin will be splitting camp season as chug di-rector and newspaper edi-tor. One more staff mem-ber who has a lot of camp experience is Sam Sloman who will be our Equip-ment Manager and sports director.

Last but not least our CITs, that are an impor-tant part of staff are: Parker Swarens, Abbee LaPlace, Max Bernstein and Ilan Friedland, which will also be leading Israeli Dance.

Wonderful summer activities are in the works for our campers. Each week will feature a full-day at Fuller Beach, the lakefront site of Camp Ideal for over 25 years, and a second field trip. Activities at the Federa-tion campus include mu-sic, drama, sports, art, cooking, and Israeli cul-ture.

We’ve got a great crew of campers already en-rolled, but there’s always room for more. To regis-ter, call Sue Sobczak at 574-233-1164 or register o n l i n e a t www.thejewishfed.org to make this summer a Camp Ideal summer!

The Michiana Jewish Historical Society continues to build on its Survey of Businesses owned or managed by members of the Jew-ish community throughout the decades. We recently looked through a few of the collections in our archive to see whether we could find additional businesses, and so far have found several di-rectories, programs and other ma-terials containing names of busi-nesses who advertised or were pa-trons of organizations, plays, dances and other events.

Following are names of busi-nesses listed in programs and di-rectories from 1919, 1939 and 1962. Do you know anything about the proprietors of these businesses, years of operation or location? Can you share some interesting anecdotes? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

There are certain tradi-tions that people adopt. You do something once, you like doing, so you keep on doing it. And many of us have food tra-ditions. There are certain foods that we always make for certain occasions. There are certain cakes we pre-pare for most birthdays. Some special recipes ap-pear on our menu over and over again. This is just the way things are. Right?

It is probably a pretty standard and commonly accepted tradition to serve soup on Friday night. Pref-erably chicken soup. My family likes soup. We have soup several times during a typical week. And, of course, on Friday night. Except in the summer. This has nothing to do with temperature or heat index. Shabbos starts around sun-down. And around here, sundown is pretty late in the summer.

Many years ago, I real-ized that skipping the Fri-day night soup course would make the meal end a little earlier. That would mean that my children could go to sleep a little closer to their usual bed-time. It didn't seem right, though, to not serve soup.

So, I adopted the tradition of my relatives in New York. They serve cold soup at the meal on Shab-bos day. My great Aunt used to make this lovely pear compote. I don't really care for pears, but this compote was so good. I have a similar recipe that I use, but I make it with peaches. One of my cous-ins makes her fruit soup with sour cherries. An-other cousin uses a mix-ture of different fruits. I have collected a number of recipes for compote and fruit soups. Just about every week during the summer, our Shabbos day meal contains fruit soup. It is a lovely first or sec-ond course, but some might feel that a sweet fruit dish would be a fit-ting dessert. Actually, when I have left-over strawberry rhubarb com-pote I freeze it in popsicle molds. My children love it.

Rhubarb is not some-

thing that I grew up eat-ing, but, I like to try new things. It’s pretty – like red celery. When I first got this recipe, there were not measurements for most of the ingredients. I had to figure out how much liq-

uid to use, how much sweetener, etc. Rhubarb is somewhat sour. The sweetness of the strawber-ries goes together well with the tartness of the rhubarb. Thus they are often paired together in recipes.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB COMPOTE

2 lb. strawberries 1 lb. rhubarb 1 ½ c. orange juice 1 ½ c. water ½ c. sugar 2 tsp. vanilla sugar 1 (3 oz.) pkg. straw-

berry jello

Either fresh or frozen fruit can be used in this recipe. If using fresh fruit, the strawberries need to be properly cleaned and hulled. If the strawberries are large, cut them in half. Clean fresh rhubarb and cut into slices. Place the fruit in a large pot. Add the liquid to the pot. The liquid will cover about ¾ of the fruit. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered until the rhubarb is soft. Use a potato masher to partially mash the fruit. It should not be pureed. Stir in the sugar, vanilla sugar, and jello mix. Serve chilled.

Here is a really simple recipe that I got when I lived in Charleston, SC. Following the recipe is a variation – a similar recipe that I got from my cousin. Both recipes are similar in type of ingredients, but

use different flavors and fruits.

SARAH’S FRUIT REFRESHER

2 c. boiling water 1 (3 oz.) box lemon jello 1 (3 oz.) box lime jello ½ c. grape juice ½ c. apple juice or light

grape juice 1 (10 oz.) container fro-

zen sliced strawberries, slightly thawed

1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained

1 (10 oz.) can mandarin oranges, undrained

Dissolve the jello in the

boiling water. Cool slightly. Stir in remaining ingredients and chill.

PERRIE’S

FRUIT FANTASIA

1 can sour cherries 1 (10 oz.) can mandarin

oranges 1 (8 oz.) can crushed

pineapple 1 (10 oz.) container fro-

zen sliced strawberries, slightly thawed

1 ½ c. water 2 (3 oz.) boxes raspberry

jello 1 c. orange juice 1 c. apple juice

Combine sour cherries, mandarin oranges, pineap-ple, strawberries and wa-ter. Bring to a boil. Add the jello, stirring to dis-solve. Bring the mixture back to a boil. Stir in the fruit juices and return to a boil. Remove from heat and chill. Stir again before serving.

Congratulations to Hebrew Orthodox Congregation on 125 years in South Bend! Close to 180 people filled the shul hall on Sunday, May 13 for Hebrew Orthodox Congregation’s 125th Anniversary Dinner.

In celebrating this milestone, special recognition was given to a small group of people who stepped up to keep the congregation alive following the fire on Taylor Street in July 1970. Recognized were David Lerman, Barbara Lerman, Abraham Marcus, Arthur Schulman, Ben Schwartz, Rose Schwartz, and Harold Silberman, with a special memorial tribute to Albert and Ann Freedman, Nathan and Frances Lerman, Abe and Eva Schulman, Mary Schulman, and Rabbi Victor Amster.

Of special interest at the dinner was an extensive photo display of the 125 year history of the Congrega-tion which lined the walls of the hall.

Pictured above are Michael Lerman, past president of the Congregation and emcee for the night, posing with Ruth Hutt, who received a recognition plaque on behalf of her grandparents, the Schulmans.

The Hebrew Orthodox Cemetery Association would like to announce that Tammie Blackman Brown has been named cemetery superintendent. Since she began the position, she has been working to clean up the cemetery so that it is a safe, peaceful and cared for resting place for our loved ones. The Jewish Federation is renting office space to the Cemetery Association to store records and provide working space.

Thank you for your patience as we have addressed the many projects that needed to be done including the vandalism to the tombstones. A huge savings was real-ized by having all the headstones that had been knocked down lifted at the same time. The surviving next of kin has the financial responsibility for raising the stones. Much gratitude to those families who have paid their part, and we will be in contact with the other families.

Every square inch of the cemetery grounds were cleaned of leaves and litter, the bushes were trimmed, and debris, twigs, and branches were removed. Motion detection lighting has been added to help prevent future vandalism. City-approved “No Trespassing” signs have been posted, and there are more improvements to come.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to make improvements. Please contact Tammie at 574-233-1164 if you are interested in volunteering to help keep our Cemetery looking great or if you have any questions.
