MISSION
To enrich Jewish lives through community, tradition, and Torah.
VISION
Our B’nai Torah family seeks a deeper relationship with God and our
community through Jewish observance and prayer in a warm, welcoming
and inclusive environment. We learn through Torah and inspired teaching to
achieve personal growth and meaning. Our traditions help us create a better
world through charity and social action.
November / December 2015
JOSHUA HELLER | SENIOR RABBI
When we talk about “giving charity,” we are actually talking about many diverse types
of activity. Two people may give of themselves, or their resources, with very different
motivations.
The Hebrew word Tzedakah, is often translated as “charity.” However, the English word
“charity” implies something that is done out of a sense of love and free will. In contrast,
the word Tzedakah, implies that giving comes from a sense of righteousness and justice
served. Do we see our help to others as a “good deed,” or as a sacred obligation?
Maimonides, in his famous “ladder,” discusses and prioritizes different types of giving, as
you ascend the “ladder.” Gracious giving is on a higher level than that which is begrudging.
Giving anonymously reduces embarrassment and preserves the dignity of the recipient.
1. The person who gives reluctantly and with regret.
2. The person who gives graciously, but less than one should.
3. The person who gives what one should, but only after being asked.
4. The person who gives before being asked.
5. The person who gives without knowing to whom he or she gives, although the recipient knows the identity of the donor.
6. The person who gives without making his or her identity known.
7. The person who gives without knowing to whom he or she gives. The recipient does not know from whom he or she receives.
8. The person who helps another to become self-supporting by a gift or a loan or by finding employment for the recipient.
There is also the question of whom it is that we help. By definition, charity and Tzedakah in its narrowest sense, go to help those
who are in need, poorer than the giver. In Judaism, we also have a concept of Gemilut Hassadim, doing acts of kindness for
others, who may have needs that are not financial. When we provide a meal to a homeless family through Family Promise, we
are obligated to act because of our relative financial security. In contrast, when we bring a meal to a family in illness or mourning,
through our Kesher Committee, the recipient may be perfectly capable of buying us dinner 100 times over, but we are filling a
spiritual need, rather than a physical one.
In English, one can also differentiate between charity, helping those in need, and philanthropy, improving society as a whole.
Another way to understand the distinction is that “charity” helps someone “else,” someone who is physically hungry, or spiritually
needy. In contrast, “philanthropy” might benefit everyone, including us. A new prayer book never fed a hungry person, but
supporting educational or cultural programs allows each of us to be better people.
Do we give to make the world a better place only for others, or for ourselves as well? Do we tend to physical or to spiritual needs?
Do we give out of a sense of obligation, or with an open heart? Through these pages and beyond, B’nai Torah offers many ways
to engage in holy giving.
ELISSA FLADELL | PRESIDENT
What’s the one thing you count on from Congregation B’nai Torah? For most of our members,
you need to know that we will be here when you need us. When you need a Bar Mitzvah date
for your child, or when you have a family emergency, you are confident that the Rabbis and
staff are standing by to help you get through your time of need. Some folks turn to the shul
to make sure their kids get a good Jewish foundation in preschool, and some just want to
know that they have tickets and a seat on the High Holidays. There is only one way to ensure
Congregation B’nai Torah will be around when you are the one in need, give now and give
continuously. We must each do our part to make certain that our shul is the best that it can be,
no matter whose time of need it may be.
What do you get for your generosity? Why support the shul even if you are not the one who is
in a time of need? Congregation B’nai Torah offers a wide variety of educational programs for
the entire family, as well as many opportunities throughout the year to work on behalf of our
local, national, and international communities. We offer holiday services, programming, and
social opportunities where you can meet others in our community.
Please, don’t wait for your time of need to turn to Congregation B’nai Torah. Look to us throughout the year to help out, make
new friends, make an impact in the community, or just to get your money’s worth. Check out our website, and our weekly
Shabbat Shalom newsletter regularly, to find programs that interest you. I look forward to seeing you soon, and thank you for
your generous support of our shul.

EYTAN KENTER | RABBI
When Staci was younger, she went to the National Aquarium in Baltimore with her
Aunt. She was a docent there, so Staci got to go behind the scenes at the dolphin show.
What 10 year old (or 32 year old) wouldn’t love that? She had an amazing time, and
was very grateful for the experience.
From that point forward, however, every gift that she received from that Aunt was
dolphin related. Dolphin notepads, dolphin earrings, you get the idea … While she
truly enjoyed the aquarium visit; dolphin gift after dolphin gift, she enjoyed somewhat
less. There was no escaping the dolphin presents. We did not know what dolphinrelated object we might receive for our wedding.
While Staci clearly did not love every one of those gifts, to her Aunt it represented
something special, a moment that they shared, something that brought them together.
I think all of us can name similar examples where we received gifts that meant very
little to us, but a great deal to the gift-giver. That is why we receive monogrammed
tube socks, rather than registry items, it is because the giving of gifts is not just about
the person receiving the gift. It is as much about the person giving them.
Some, including the famous medieval Rabbi Maimonides, argue that the sacrifices that we offered God fit into this category.
God did not need roasted lamb or meal offerings, but it was the best thing that we could offer, and therefore God appreciated
the gesture. It meant something to God to be receiving a gift that meant such a great deal to the giver.
In the months ahead, we will enter the season of gift giving. Whether it be Hanukkah presents at home, or secret Santas at
work, we will be giving and receiving many presents. It is incumbent upon all of us not only to recognize how much receiving
gifts means to us, but also to recognize that the giver and their feelings are just as important. Let us take this opportunity not
only to thank those giving us gifts with lovely thank you notes recognizing the item, but also by appropriately acknowledging
how much receiving that gift meant to you, and how it represents the warm feelings that you have regarding your relationship.
Only then will we truly appreciate what gifts are about. They aren’t about the stuff, but the love with which they are given.
NATALIE SARNAT | EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I am constantly touched by the congregants at Congregation B’nai Torah. I truly believe
there is more than one way to give back to our community, and our congregants exemplify
this every day. There are the regular minyonars, regular daveners, and regular Shabbat
attendees. They each add so much to the ritual practices. There are the congregants who
are able to give financially, in an extremely generous way. Did you know that our dues only
cover half of our operating budget? The remainder comes from generous donations and
fundraising activities. There are the congregants who are able to give of their time, in a
volunteer capacity. From a member of the Board of Trustees, to an office volunteer, each
ensures Congregation B’nai Torah is able to serve each of our congregants to the best of our
ability. We would not be able to offer all of the exciting programs and events if not for lay
volunteers, let alone the work we get done in the office. Our valued office volunteers do so
much to ensure the day-to-day operations, not always exciting, but very important work is
executed.
Each of these people, who give so generously of their time and money, has allowed me to get to personally know different
members of our congregation. I have been fortunate to call many my dear friends, and feel lucky to share my personal and
professional life with them.
I encourage each member of our congregation to take a role in an area of synagogue life that speaks to them. So much of being
a member of our synagogue is the sense of community and shared religious identity that will forever shape our lives, and those
of our loves ones and families.
Thank you to those who have taken an active role in our community, and I look forward to meeting new and old congregants
alike, who are ready to take their journey with Congregation B’nai Torah to the next level.

STAFF FEATURE
SARAH WOELZ | OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR
“Congregation B’nai Torah! This is Sarah, may I help you?” said Sarah Woelz, for the
past 17 years. The Israeli ‘phone voice’ of B’nai Torah has greeted prospective and
current congregants for many years.
Sarah started working at Congregation B’nai Torah as a part-time secretary to then
Rabbi Radler “zl.” Her position quickly became full time, as the Congregation began
growing at a rapid pace, absorbing the responsibilities of not only Rabbi’s secretary,
but also as office administrator, updating the Congregational member’s list, baby
naming and bris ceremonies, bar and bat mitzvah dates, and conversions. Sarah also
works for Rabbi Heller, who fondly refers to her as “our institutional memory, on-site
Notary Public, secular mikvah lady, liaison to the Kesher committee (Sarah is literally
on call 24/7 to respond to illness and death), ambassador to the Israeli Consulate and
Israeli dancers, the only person who can out-email me. Sarah is the glue that holds
the place together.”
Sarah grew up in Tel Aviv, and studied textile engineering. She met her husband,
Helmut, at the airport when he visited Tel Aviv on business. They moved to Atlanta,
GA, so he could pursue a temporary business opportunity with an engineering firm.
That was 25 years ago. Now retired, Sarah’s husband enjoys woodworking as a hobby. Sarah’s hobbies are visiting her daughter,
Keren, and her beautiful granddaughter, Noga, in Bat Hefer, Israel, and Israeli folk dancing. Sarah mentioned that her daughter,
Keren, works as a tour guide for Amiel Tours, in case anyone is looking for a guide on his or her next trip to Israel! Her son,
Tomer, lives in Atlanta, and is a preschool teacher at the Marcus Jewish Community Center.
With her quick Israeli wit, and years of experience at Congregation B’nai Torah, Sarah is a treasure. She knows everyone, and
knows where everything is kept, but most importantly to the staff and congregants, Sarah keeps everyone laughing.

TAL NUDELMAN | ISRAEL ADVOCACY
Israel is the center of our religion. It has served as a home to our people, a refuge for the
persecuted, and sanctum to the spiritual. And yet, the importance of Israel can sometimes
fade into the background of our daily lives, highlighted on holidays and news headlines. The
leadership at Congregation B’nai Torah wants to make Israel top-of mind through the newly
created Israel Advocacy committee.
Global Jewish support for Israel has allowed it to overcome existential threats, and thrive
into an economic and technological marvel in just a short 67 years. Many in our congregation
are already a part of this critical support. Some give time and resources to organizations
that work to promote Israel’s welfare. Some advocate for Israel by attending lectures and
programs. And others are seeking opportunities to get involved and to strengthen their
connection with Israel.
The Israel Advocacy committee is dedicated to presenting our congregation with
opportunities to do just that. Together we can galvanize as a congregation and grow our
support and advocacy of Israel.
Over the next year, the Israel Advocacy committee will plan educational speaking
engagements, fun cultural programs, opportunities for charitable and political involvement, as well as youth programs to foster
an Israel connection with the next generation. As we engage our congregation to strengthen the passionate support for Israel, I
invite you to get involved on the committee and to attend the programs. Share your ideas with us, and tell us which topics and
organizations are important to you.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
— Dr. Seuss
TRACY SEITZ | SOCIAL ACTION
I’m Tracy Seitz married to Brian. We have two beautiful children, and two puppies with lots of energy!
Our family has been in Atlanta for well over 100 years, and we are so excited that we recently
decided to join the B’nai Torah family. Brian and I want our children to practice philanthropy and
generosity within our community. We know the best way for them to see the various ways they can
contribute is to show them by example. We embrace the causes that we are passionate about, and
show them that you can give not only with financial contributions, but with your time and resources.
I recently joined the Board of Trustees at Congregation B’nai Torah as the Social Action Chair. So far,
this year we have participated in the Back to School program benefiting the children of Lake Forest
Elementary and we have collected food through Operation Isaiah to benefit the Atlanta Community
Food Bank. We have committed our shul to providing meals once a month to the Zaban Couples
Shelter. Our family recently teamed up with the Hirschfields (our children will be sharing their B’nai
Mitzvah together in 2017) to provide a meal to the shelter in October. Our children loved helping to
prepare the food! Even though they were too young to help deliver and serve the food, they knew
their contribution was important and needed.
Upcoming Social Action events include Family Promise, Atlanta Hunger Walk, Hanukkah Program benefiting Lake Forest
Elementary & Atlanta Pride. Please refer to the Congregation’s website for upcoming events http://www.bnaitorah.org/
socialaction-opportunities/. If you have an interest in any events we are currently involved in, or want to start something new
at our shul, we welcome your input! Please reach out to me at anytime (tracykseitz@hotmail.com). Looking forward to it!
I wondered why somebody didn’t do something. Then I realized, I am somebody.

COMMUNITY FEATURE
LAKE FOREST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL’S
“WEEKEND BACKPACK”
“Hope!” said Ingrid Montenegro, Bilingual Parent Liaison at Lake Forest
Elementary School in Sandy Springs. “I open up an empty supply closet at the
beginning or each school year, and wonder how we will fill it with necessities.
Within a few days, I always receive a call from Debbie Lewis, and she gives
me hope!”
B’nai Torah congregant, Debbie Lewis, is a social advocate for Lake Forest
Elementary School. The public school is a Title 1 school, a designation for
schools with a disproportionate number of low-income students. Sandy
Springs, Georgia is one of the wealthiest cities in the country, but at Lake
Forest Elementary school, 97% of the students live below the poverty line.
Tracy Seitz, Congregation B’nai Torah Social Action Chair, invites our
Congregation to donate to the Weekend Backpack program before each
school year begins. “B’nai Torah always fills our supply closet. They are one
of the first organizations to show up, and they always help.” The Weekend
Backpack program provides backpacks and weekend snacks for the students
who have been identified by social workers and teachers. The students who
receive our donations would not have a backpack or weekend food, if it were
not for the Weekend Backpack program.
Taylor Barton, Principal
Ingrid Montenegro, Bilingual Parent Liaison
Taylor Barton, Principal of Lake Forest Elementary School, said, “B’nai Torah’s
participation brings the community together.” He believes that “it creates a powerful connection between the community and
the students at a very young age.”
Congregation B’nai Torah Sisterhood also assists Lake Forest Elementary, by providing holiday gift boxes to the students who
otherwise would not be able to celebrate the holiday.
Lake Forest Elementary School is always in need of paper, spiral-bound notebooks, composition books, pencils, index cards,
colored pencils, kids khaki shorts and khaki pants, winter jackets, t-shirts, and socks. Please contact Social Action Chair, Tracy
Seitz, if you would like to donate to Lake Forest Elementary School, tracykseitz@hotmail.com.
Natalie Sarnat’s Classic Latke Recipe
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds Idaho potatoes, well scrubbed but unpeeled
1 medium onion
2 eggs
¼ cup matzo meal or all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
1. Grate potatoes alternately with the onion (this keeps the potatoes from darkening), either by hand or in a food processor.
With a food processor, either use a fine shredding disk, or cut the potatoes in half-inch dice, and then use the steel blade
with an on-off pulse motion to yield uniformly grated potatoes.
2. Drain potatoes and onions.
3. Mix in eggs, then matzo meal or flour. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour oil into a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/4 inch, and heat. Oil should be very hot but not smoking.
5. Using a large tablespoon, form round or oval pancakes about 3 inches across, flattening them in the pan with the back of
the spoon. Fry until golden on both sides.
6. Drain pancakes on absorbent paper, and continue frying until all the batter is used. Serve as soon as possible. Pancakes can
be reheated in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes but will not be as crisp.
7. Enjoy!

CONGREGATION B’NAI TORAH SISTERHOOD
ROBYN MILLER | PRESIDENT
In Sisterhood we have social programs, as well as religious/
educational programs, but that is not all that Sisterhood
is about. We are also about giving-whether, it is to the
synagogue or the community. With our popular Mah Jongg
events, we always include a social action twist. Currently
we are collecting items for Lake Forest Elementary School
for the gift boxes we put together at the Congregation
B’nai Torah Hannukah Festival, which is another program
that we support, to make it possible. We have collected
toiletries and toys for other organizations, and even
sponsored families for the holidays, so the kids would have
clothes/toys to open on the holiday. Throughout the year
we are always collecting money and selling pins in support
of Torah Fund, which helps support various rabbinical schools. In the past we have knit squares for Warm Up America, and
completed one blanket that we donated to a women’s shelter (for which we have cooked meals), and sent the rest to the
organization for them to complete and donate as needed. This
is an event that I personally ran, and while doing something for
charity, it was a great way for us to get together and learn a new
talent as well.
In the spirit of giving, many of us give our time. We volunteer
to help organize events and run the events. We could not be
successful without the women of Sisterhood taking the time
to volunteer their time, which is as important as donating
monetary items.
I have found that I treasure my time with Sisterhood, and the
friendships I have made with social programs, but our social
action has been truly satisfying as well.
CONGREGATION B’NAI TORAH BROTHERHOOD

Binnie Edelson’s World Famous Oven Baked Latkes
Time: 30 minutes. Makes 24 latkes.
INGREDIENTS
2 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound),
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
scrubbed and quartered lengthwise
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large onion (8 ounces), peeled and quartered
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
About 1 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
Applesauce or sour cream for serving
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line two large, heavy rimmed baking sheets with heavy-duty foil. Coarsely shred the potatoes
and onions together in a food processor (or grate by hand with a box grater). Transfer the mixture to a clean dishtowel and
squeeze and wring out as much of the liquid as possible.
2. Working quickly, combine the potatoes and onions with the flour, eggs, salt, baking powder and pepper, tossing with a fork
until well combined.
3. Pour ½ cup oil onto each baking sheet, spreading it with a spatula. With a fork, scoop 12 small latkes onto each baking sheet,
pressing to flatten into disks.
4. Bake the latkes until crisp on the bottom and sizzling, about 12 minutes. Flip the latkes, rotating the pans from back to front
and top to bottom, and bake until crisp on the second side, about 8 more minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack lined with
paper towels or paper bags, drain briefly, and serve.
