can be told through so many creative themes. Kudos
to the cast, writers, choreographers, director, and our
own dynamic duo extraordinaire Lindsay Rosenman
and Maya Minkin. Not only did they have to wrangle
a cast of about sixty individuals, they also had to put
up with at least one temporarily insane parent (me).
Purim would not be complete without the
Brotherhood’s Purim carnival. As usual, it was well
attended, and lots of fun.
Although this article is being submitted prior to
the actual Purim service, I can safely say that I expect
it to be great, with 30+ participants.
Finally, I want to thank the Rabbi Search
Committee. They have made remarkable progress.
Please check out their blog, which now has a home
on the CBE website.
One last comment, check out the beautiful poster
in the Community Court, and in the StarLite, for the
upcoming Zamir Chorale concert on May 22. Tickets
are on sale. This will likely be a sold out concert, so
order your tickets now. If you missed the
Brotherhood breakfast, with the Zamir
representative’s presentation, I can assure you that
this will be a once in a lifetime type of show.

President‘sMessage
BarbaraGreen
president@bethelohim.org
Wow! What a March we had! As many of you
know, the month started off with an amazing Israeli
weekend, by CBE’s Israel Committee spearheaded by
Leann. For those that weren’t around the first
weekend of March, CBE hosted a really cool Israeli
teen (Shin Shin), who came to the Family Friday
night service, to talk to and meet kids of our
community. Of course that evening was capped off
with an Israeli themed Oneg. On that Saturday
evening, CBE families assisted in a very successful
and fun progressive dinner, highlighted by wonderful
local entertainment for the dessert portion, hosted at
the Friedman’s home. And last, but certainly not
least, Sunday brought an AIPAC breakfast (thank you
Rachel Tadmore for spearheading this portion of the
weekend), with our own Jeremy Bloomstone. It was
with pride that I sat through that breakfast as Jeremy
shared his experiences of growing up at CBE and
how it has shaped his young adult life. In the
community court, there were plenty of tables with all
sorts of information related to Israel. Not to be
outdone by the grownups, our own religious school
mini chorus and mini klezmer band had wonderful
performances. Then those same kids got to join their
classmates to experience an Israeli shuk.
On a more personal note, I have finally
transformed into my mother! I learned to play Mah
Jong at the well-attended Sisterhood Mah Jong class.
I got to go home and say something I never thought I
would say,“Guess what I heard at Mah Jong.”
Finally, March would not be complete without
recognition of the wonderful way our community
celebrates Purim. It’s amazing how the same story
CBE is planning a trip to Jewish Spain in
April, 2017. If you would like more information
about our trip, you are invited to an
informational meeting on Thursday, May 12 at
7:00 at CBE. We will be meeting with our trip's
guide, a representative of Keshet, Kayla Ship. Spread the word and join us!

A Joyful Way to Celebrate Shabbat
with your Family and Community
Friday evening, April 15 at 6:00
All of our youngest children and their
families are invited to sing, dance, pray, and
learn with Cantor Sarra at our monthly Tot
Shabbat. During “Torah Time”, we’ll hear a story
and march with our own Torah scrolls. Children
with a birthday during the month will receive a
special birthday song. After services, we will all
come together for Oneg Shabbat, a sweet snack
and conversation in the Social Hall. This is a
wonderful way to meet new friends in the
community!
Tot Shabbat and ROSH (“Ruach on Shabbat”
services for elementary-school aged children and
their families) take place on either the third or
fourth Friday of each month. Look on CBE’s
online calendar to find out all of the dates for
services this year!
If you’d like, bring your own (dairy) dinner
and join us anytime after 5:15 as we eat together
in the Social Hall before the service. All are
welcome. Please contact Cantor Sarra at
cantorsarra@bethelohim.org with any questions
or for more information.
Celebrate Shabbat with music and prayer,
blessings and stories on Friday evening, April 1
at 7:00! Geared especially toward children in
grades one through six, yet designed to be
welcoming for all adults and children, our Family
Shabbat services feature many opportunities for
participation, uplifting and lively new melodies
mixed in with our familiar tunes, and
instrumental accompaniment by CBE’s own
talented musicians. Each month, children, and
even families together, have the opportunity to
lead a prayer, blessing or song in the service.
This is a wonderful way for children (and
parents) to learn and to feel the special sense of
joy and pride that comes with leading a
community in prayer. Please let Rabbi Mintz or
Cantor Spierer know if you or your child would
like to help lead.
All are welcome!
Halleluyah!
A Service of Praise and Celebration
The Congregation Beth Elohim Choir, along
with Rabbi Mintz and Cantor Spierer, invites
everyone to its annual music Shabbat on Friday,
April 8, at 7:30 PM. Each year the choir prepares
a service filled with beautiful and wide-ranging
settings of the various parts of the Friday evening
liturgy. This year’s service is inspired by Psalm
150, whose text tells us to praise God with our
voices and with instruments. We will be singing
four very different settings of Psalm 150—
contemplative to rhythmic to rousing. And in
keeping with the text, we’ll have a variety of
instrumental accompaniments, including tof,
clarinet, flute, cello, guitar, autoharp and piano.
Many of the tunes in the service are among the
choir’s favorites, and we hope they will be yours
as well.
We look forward to seeing everyone at this
always popular annual choir event!

Application Preparation Seminar for parents of high

Later in April, Sisterhood’s resident running
aficionado, Emily Blumberg, will again assemble a
team of Sisters to run in a local road race, this time
for the Groton Road Race on Sunday, April 24. There
is an event for everyone in the family here, a Tot’s
Trot for children aged 0-6 yrs, a 2K for beginners, a
5K and a 10K for more seasoned runners. The in

home of Pam Laufer, 28 Marshall Path, Acton to
discuss The Boston Girl, by Anita Diamant. Addie
Baum is the Boston girl, born in 1900 to immigrant
parents who were unprepared for and suspicious of
America and its effect on their three daughters.
Please contact Pam at laufer@comcast.net for more

would like to share with our community, or if you
have an idea for future Sisterhood events, please let

SisterhoodNews
JulieAgapite
jagapite@verizon.net
This is the Sisterhood News, the ‘who’, ‘what’ and
‘where’ of all things Sisterhood. The Purim Shpiel is
not officially a Sisterhood event but it is one of my
all-time favorite events at CBE so I’m going to write
about it anyways. What I love about the Shpiel is
watching such a multi-generational group that
normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to interact
with each other, come together to create something
so wildly entertaining and have so much fun doing
so. It is community building at its best and isn’t that
what Sisterhood is all about, too? This year, I
couldn’t help noticing that there is, in fact, quite a bit
of sisterhood involved in the Shpiel. Three sisters in
particular give so much of their time, talent, heart
and soul to the Shpiel and are instrumental in
putting the show together. These are producers Maya
Minkin and Lindsay Rosenman and lyricist and
musical director, Karen Capland. (Of course, there
are many men involved in giving life to the Shpiel
but I’m not going to mention them because, after all,
this is the Sisterhood News and I can’t go that far off
topic.) In addition, there are many more current
Sisters involved as actresses, dancers, choreographers, and behind the scenes as well, not to mention
the teen and littlest future Sisters. Sisterhood
congratulates all of you on a fantastic show and
sends you all heartfelt gratitude for sharing your
wonderful talents with the community.
The talent, knowledge and skill represented
among the Sisterhood membership are indeed
impressive. We should borrow Apple’s slogan but
instead of “There’s an app for that,” it should be
“There’s a Sister for that.” Whatever you need done
or would like to learn, there is a Sister with that
expertise. Just recently, our Mah Jong maven, Julie
McCall, along with Lauren Pollak, Sharon Smith, Jodi
Larkin and Jodie Zwirn, held a Learn to Play Mah
Jong Workshop that was so successful that a number
of attendees have continued to meet regularly to
practice their new skill. It won’t be long before they
reach the rank of expert as well.
Are any of you parents of high school students
that are, like me, a bit overwhelmed by the thought
of guiding your child through the complicated
process of applying to college? Well, we have a Sister
for that! On Wednesday, April 6 at 7:30 PM in the
CBE swing space, Sisterhood’s own Sue Wachter,
college consultant extraordinaire, will lead a College
