File - Temple Beth Ami
June 2014 A monthly publication of Temple Beth Ami www.templebethami.org Shalom Bayit שלום בית Vol 31 No 11 Established 1987 From The Rabbi At the end of May we installed the next cycle of leaders at Temple Beth Ami. The annual ritual of the Annual General Meeting, while secular in origination, is in reality a holy moment. For those of us involved with the preparation of programs and services, we have the opportunity to reflect on the previous year, concentrate on our current state of affairs and create a vision of tomorrow. Our congregation continues to grow, and our programming improves dramatically to meet these needs. This year we are committing as a congregation to reaching out, as well as reaching in. We realize there are literally thousands of Jews in the Santa Clarita Valley who remain unaffiliated. We need your help in bringing people in. We need to be placed in contact with them, so you can help by making sure that people you meet are on our mailing and e-mail list. I want to thank everyone who has participated and lent their energy to making this a wonderful community, and congratulate those taking on the mantle of leadership. Temple Beth Ami’s strength has been made possible through the hard work of so many of our congregants, board members, volunteers, parents and students. The road ahead is challenging and exciting, but with all of our continued commitment, we will assuredly have much to be proud of this time next year as well! Have a wonderful summer, Rabbi Mark Blazer SHAVUOT CELEBRATIONS Join us as we commemorate the anniversary of the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai We also want to make sure that everyone already part of the Temple Beth Ami family is connected, especially through our very successful Havurah program. If you are not yet a part of a havurah, contact Rena Slabich at havurah@templebethami.org. Tuesday, June 3 7:00 pm | at Temple Beth Ami The topic for the evening's joint study session led by Rabbi Mark Blazer and Rabbi Ron Hauss will be "What Jews Believe - Is There Such a Thing as a Jewish Dogma?" This month you should be proud, as the tradition of dynamic leaders at TBA continues. With the next generation of trustees, supported by those who have been involved since the beginning, TBA is an influential force in Santa Clarita and indeed throughout Southern California. Visit our website for news & events www.templebethami.org Newsletter - June 2014 Temple Beth Ami Page 1 of 16 From The Cantor I need to take this opportunity to thank all of you here at Temple Beth Ami so much for your outpouring of love and support at this very difficult time. He entertained over there in the “Comedy Caravan” and upon his return, began doing small theater in Philadelphia. He played the “girl’s father” in the first production of “The Fantasticks” outside of New York. My father, Irving Isadore “Nails” “Itzy” “Marv” Ellis was born on Sunday, March 4, 1923.To put it in perspective, at this tim e, the 68 t h United States Congress was meeting in Washington, D.C. during the last months of Warren G. Harding's presidency, and the first years of his successor, Calvin Coolidge. He could tell jokes and could speak in dialects that only Sid Caesar could rival. He spoke fluent Yiddish and would sing and tell jokes in Yiddish as easily as in English. He was born to Max from Russia and Jennie from Romania. He was second of three brothers, Nathan (Spike) and Charles (Tack). All three brothers slept in the same bed until Irving went into the army. They lived in tough neighborhoods in Philadelphia, which is why they had those “tough guy” nicknames. He was a “barrel man” and ran Ellis Cooperage along with his father and brothers. Three “L’s” best describe my dad. Light, Laughter and Love. People loved him and he loved people. He was an amazing spirit for 91 years and it was an honor and privilege to call him “Dad.” I will truly miss him. B’shalom, Cantor Kenny Ellis Being the middle child, my Dad was a little different. He was the gentler and caring son, who was always there for his parents even when he became an adult. He loved big bands, going to the movies for a nickel, riding the street car and going to the Earl Theater at 11th and Market streets in Philadelphia The theater would showcase the “World's Biggest Stars” like Eddie Cantor, Frank Sinatra, Josephine Baker, and during the Big Band era, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller and Duke Ellington, just to name a few. Special Musical Shabbat Themes Save the date: Friday, June 13th – Beatles & Father’s Day Shabbat Service He joined the Army in 1941 and was in the 310th Signal Battalion decoding Morse Code and served in England, France, Belgium and Holland. Until his very last day, told wonderful stories of his experiences there. Celebrate Life Cycle Events!

Van Scoyoc Newsletter - June 2014 Temple Beth Ami Page 4 of 16 Education Shalom! By now most of you have heard about the changes to the Religious School program for next year. The staff and I are going to be very busy this summer getting things ready for your children. The Enrollment papers will be available on line and at open houses. Please contact me by email this summer with questions or concerns. I look forward to continuing to see your children grow in their Jewish knowledge. One terrific change is the addition of Music for our Hebrew School. The students will learn some different melodies for Shabbat Services and some Israeli Folk songs. The Jewish music tradition is so varied and adds a wonderful depth to prayer and simply being Jewish. I strongly encourage all students to attend services this summer and review their Hebrew whenever they can. Religious school may be 9 months of the year, but being Jewish is 24/7/365! There are several on-line resources to keep Hebrew fresh in your mind: For more, just Google: “Jewish Websites for Children.” Some of them are for older students and cover current events for Israel. Some of them offer information on where to buy Judaica and Jewish themed books. Remember: when looking at websites keep in mind that they are run by many different organizations, from Orthodox to Humanist as well as Christian organizations. The Israeli Tourist Bureau has a website with pictures and information about Israel. Parents should always know what their children are doing on line. Go on-line with them! Learning together is wonderful. Have a safe, happy, restful summer, Judith Stolnitz Education Director www:behrmanhouse.com/students - This website has very good Hebrew Practice. www.babaganewz.com - This website has games, info and activities connected to Israel and Jewish Holidays. Mitzvah Projects Our daughter, Jaclyn Wosk, became a Bat Mitzvah on May 31, 2014. Jaclyn did a wonderful job reading her portion of the Torah. We are so proud of her. She has a caring heart and is dedicated to what she believes in. Jaclyn has been helping Children's Hospital of L.A. since she was 5 years old when she made her first Tzadakah box in Sunday school. Since then she has organized a new toy drive and money collection. She has collected over 500 new toys and raised $100.00. For her Mitzvah Project Jaclyn will be collecting new toys for CHLA through the month of July. There will be a collection box in the Sanctuary. The new toys should not be wrapped with wrapping paper and are for ages 6 months to teens. Jaclyn is looking forward to delivering toys that will bring smiles to the patients’ faces.
