Rabbi Kane at the Hartman Institute
FOR RELEASE
Rabbi Steven Kane Joins Sixth Rabbinic Leadership Initiative Cohort at Shalom Hartman Institute in July
JERUSALEM - The Shalom Hartman Institute proudly announces that Rabbi Steven Kane of Congregation Sons of Israel in
Briarcliff Manor, NY, has been named to the sixth Rabbinic Leadership Initiative (RLI), a three-year intensive fellowship
program for outstanding North American rabbis which immerses them in the highest levels of Jewish learning in order to
equip them to meet contemporary challenges with increasing intellectual and moral sophistication.
Throughout the next three years, the 28 rabbis of RLI VI will engage in extensive distance learning through video webinars,
hevruta study, small group elective courses, and local projects. The capstones of each year’s activities are a three-week
summer residency and a 10-day winter residency at the Institute in Jerusalem. RLI VI begins its first summer at the Hartman
Institute on July 4, 2016.
The rabbis are chosen through a rigorous, multi-year process of applications, interviews and background research. Their commitment to the program must include time for their studies in Israel and by Distance Learning throughout the year, as well as
securing financial support from their communities and/or local Federations.
Rabbi Lauren Berkun, Shalom Hartman Institute of North America Director of Rabbinic and Synagogue Programs, said the Institute has made advancement of rabbinic leadership one of its core missions for more than 30 years.
“We invest our resources, faculty, and staff in helping rabbis explore the multiple voices within our Jewish tradition that can
help them find personal meaning and purpose for their unique rabbinic journeys,” Rabbi Berkun said.
The RLI curriculum focuses on the main pillars of the scholarship and mission of the Shalom Hartman Institute: Judaism and
Modernity, Religious Pluralism, Jewish and Democratic Israel, Jewish Peoplehood, Judaism and the World.
“Equipped with a new array of texts, and a values-based methodology for applying traditional text to contemporary challenges, RLI rabbis are able to preach, write, teach, and lead with greater sophistication and depth,” Rabbi Berkun said. “Fellows
share that they feel empowered to take new risks, innovate new program models, institute new creative forms of prayer and
ritual, and make Torah learning a more central component of their community.”
Tisha B’Av services:
Saturday, August 13th
at 9 PM and Sunday,
August 14th at 9:10AM.
We commemorate the
destruction of the First &
Second Temples.

Sharing a workload makes
everything a little easier.
This is true for the most basic things,
like preparing a meal, or for
something with as many moving
parts as the High Holidays at the CSI!
Each of us adds meaning to our communal services by being there, and more so
by helping us ensure a smooth, comfortable experience.
We invite you to help us by USHERING either in the sanctuary or at one the doors.
You can assist with our annual budgetary requirements by purchasing RESERVED
SEATS and/or RESERVED PARKING.
CHAIR SET UP is Sunday, 9/25, from 9 -11 AM. More hands on deck makes easy
work of it!
Would you like your loved ones remembered in the MEMORIAL BOOKLET?
The sooner we know, the easier it is to prepare the booklet.
Please contact Ellen@csibriarcliff.org or call her at
762 2700 to volunteer or for information.

A message from Bob Margolies, CSI Treasurer:
Tax Advantaged Donations
This article is based on two newsletters, from a church
and a synagogue, and web pages of
several investment advisory firms. A simple web search
for this subject will return over 100,000 results.
Most importantly: This is not meant to be professional tax or legal advice. It is highly recommended that
you consult your tax adviser, estate planner and investment advisor to determine if this is the right move
for you.
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) - Taxpayers over 70½ are required to withdraw IRA funds to
meet a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). The money you contribute using a QCD is not included
in your adjusted gross income on your tax return, a better option than listing the donation as a simple
charitable contribution.
A QCD is generally a nontaxable distribution made directly by the trustee of your IRA (other than a SEP
or SIMPLE IRA) to an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. You must be at least
age 70½ when the distribution was made.
Donation of Stock - If you have stock in your investment portfolio that has greatly appreciated over
time, you can donate it and get a deduction on your tax return for the fully appreciated value. If you sell
the same stock, you would have to pay tax on the capital gain and that gain will go into the calculation of
the additional 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax on high incomers as mandated by The Affordable Care
Act.
Donor Advised Fund (DAF) - A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a program of a public charity that allows
donors to make contributions to the charity, become eligible to take an immediate tax deduction, and
then make recommendations for distributing the funds to qualified nonprofit organizations on their own
timetable. With charities that have donor-advised fund programs, you can make irrevocable contributions
to the charity, which establishes a DAF on your behalf.
Establishing a donor-advised fund can be a particularly useful strategy at year-end because it allows you
to make a gift and take the tax deduction immediately, but does not require you to decide at that point to
which charities that money will go. It can be a great way to offset a year with unexpectedly high earnings, or to address the tax implications of year-end bonuses.
