Celebrating our 63rd year
Vol. 63 #10
FROM THE RABBI’S STUDY…
A Shavu’ot Study Session
The holiday of Shavu’ot – which this year is
celebrated on Tuesday night June 3 through
Thursday June 5 – has both agricultural and
historical significance. It is the time in Israel of
the first harvest and therefore people would
bring their first fruits as an offering to the Temple in Jerusalem. There is a beautiful description in the Mishnah of the
procession to Jerusalem for this pilgrimage festival.
However, all holidays today are celebrated for their historical significance. On Shavu’ot we remember the giving of
the 10 Commandments (and by extension the entire Torah)
on Mt. Sinai almost 3,000 years ago. That awesome and
transformative event in our nation’s history is marked not
only by reading that section from the Torah on the 1st day of
the holiday but also by studying Torah (or any section of
rabbinic literature) all night on the 1st night of the holiday.
In our congregation we have a study session but we don’t
stay up all night! After the 8pm service on June 3 we’ll
study a chapter from a new translation of Ruth Calderon’s
fascinating collection of stories called A Bride for One
Night. In this book Dr. Calderon – a Talmud professor and
current Member of Knesset – elaborates on several short
snippets from the Talmud and transforms them into full
length, psychologically insightful stories. Her writing helps
us understand the time of the rabbis – 1800 years ago – and
also lends a new understanding to these short and openended tales. I’m sure we’ll find it to be an interesting evening of study.
Please join us for the holiday service on June 3 at 8pm
followed by a 45-60 minute study session and some refreshments afterward as we celebrate Shavu’ot – “z’man matan
Torahteinu” - the season of the giving of our Torah.
“Chag Same’ach” – happy holiday,
Rabbi Jonah Layman

FROM THE PRESIDENT
It is with great sadness that I am writing this, my
last article for the Shofar, as President of Shaare
Tefila.
While I certainly am looking forward to the extra
time I will now have in my week, I must say I have
truly enjoyed the honor of serving in this capacity for
the last two years. And I want to thank the Congregation for allowing me this opportunity – to grow as a person, a community
leader, a fellow congregant, and as a friend.
I could not achieve this growth without the help of the
many volunteers that helped make my administration a success. I
especially want to thank the Officers and the Board of Directors for
their regular contributions to our decision processes that help make
Shaare Tefila a most welcoming and inclusive Congregation.
Without our volunteers we would never be able to conduct the programming and achieve the growth that helps to keep us together as
a community.
As part of our Shabbat services on June 13 we will be
conducting the installation ceremony of our new officers and
Board. The outgoing Board will be discharged and the new slate
will be installed. As an extra incentive to you to join in this ceremony, we will also be holding our final family Shabbat dinner. So
please join me at the service, the installation program, and at the
dinner to help welcome our new leaders. They are quite seasoned
and capable of executing their duties.
Of course there are several other events you should also
consider for this month. On Sunday, June 1 the Sisterhood is hosting a matinee performance at Silver Spring Stage where they will
attend the show Arabian Nights. The evening of June 3 marks the
beginning of Shavuot with an 8:00 PM service followed by a study
session and refreshments at 9:00 PM. On Sunday, June 8 we will
hold our annual Scholar in Residence program when we will hear
Dr. Erica Brown, of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington,
speak about her recent book entitled “The Case for Jewish Peoplehood.” At Shabbat services on June 21 we will celebrate with Ivy
Krell as she becomes a Bat Mitzvah. And Sunday June 15 and 22
we have a booth at the Olney Farmer’s Market where we will be
reaching out to the local community and discussing gleaning, the
act of donating edible, fresh fruits and vegetables to those in need.
I will always look forward to seeing you in shul,
David Ronis
President
Editor’s Note: This June Shofar issue is the last of the year. We will resume
publication in September. Have an enjoyable summer. Meanwhile, may I ask
that those of you who regularly read the Shofar, please reflect on what you
have seen, and provide feedback as to what, if any, changes you would like.
Thank you.

SISTERHOOD:
Sisterhood is winding down our calendar of events for the year. Many
thanks go out to all those who
planned, organized, prepared and
shopped for our various programs. There are too many women to name but please
know we could not have managed or have had another
successful year without you. We held a wide variety of
events throughout the year and we tried to reach as
many interests as possible. Our programs can only be as
good as the ideas the women planning them have so if
you have an idea in mind, we would love to hear from
you.
You are encouraged to attend our calendar planning
meeting which will be held at the home of Stephanie
Buckberg at 6:00 on June 9. This will be a potluck dairy
dinner meeting so please let Stephanie know what you
will be bringing other than your good ideas for next
year. We have openings available on our board so
please let us know if you would like to take a more active role in our Sisterhood.
Speaking of thank yous, we want to acknowledge Adriana Sandler for her efforts in organizing the theater trip
to see Arabian Nights at the Silver Spring Stage. We appreciated the reminders to purchase tickets and the advertising of the show.
Help is needed for the Shavu’ot Oneg Tuesday evening
June 3 and for the Kiddush on Wednesday and Thursday,
June 4 and 5. If you are going to be in shul those days, it
would be much appreciated if you would please stop by
the kitchen to lend a hand. If several people (men and
women) help, then it won’t take too long.
By the time you read this, Ethel will be back from her
month long trip in Israel. She was greatly missed but we
are glad she was able to have this experience. Ethel will
have many stories to share so come join us on June 9 to
hear all about her trip.
As you are planning for all those summer BBQs, picnics
and trips to the beach, don’t forget to purchase scrip for
your shopping needs. Remember that this is a successful fundraiser for Shaare Tefila and doesn’t cost you a
penny. The more scrip you purchase, the more money is
raised for our shul. Please support this fundraising effort.
Have a safe, pleasant and enjoyable summer!
Fran Kensky and, in absentia, Ethel Levine

GATES OF DISCOVERY
der to organize and record their observations, we created a wall chart:

What’s Inside a Rain Stick?
As the end of the school year is approaching, I thought
it would be fun to share an example of one of our explorations from this year. Major explorations this year
included a scientific study of rocks, an exploration of
musical instruments, an investigation of the concept of
“sticky,” a detailed examination of the 7 days of creation and the creation of a world map that includes major
topographic and habitat information. The following
project was undertaken by our 4-year old class.
At the beginning of this school year the teachers had
planned to start with a study of rocks. The children have
been collecting rocks from the playground for quite
some time and had been commenting on different characteristics of the rocksl. Thus, we thought this was an
ideal exploration to start the school year... but the rocks
would have to wait because the children had other ideas!
Our class received a rain stick as a gift from a parent.
The teachers thought it was a lovely gift and assumed it
would be a nice addition to our musical instruments.
They put the rain stick near the front of the classroom
and intended to use it sporadically. During the first
week of school, the children were exploring their classroom space and discovered many new things including
the rain stick. They were engaged with the new castle
building blocks, the Legos, the markers and more. But
it was the rain stick, unfamiliar to many, that piqued
their curiosity. Noticing their interest, the teacher
posed a provocation: What do you think is inside the
rain stick? We put out paper and writing implements
and asked the children to write/dictate and/or draw their
hypotheses. Some of the predictions were: beans, beads,
tiny things, small rocks, gems and rain. One child even
glued round beads onto his paper to emphasize his theory.
Another child exclaimed, “Hey I have a toy like that
at home!” He graciously brought it in so the class could
use it as part of their exploration. After seeing the toy,
another child realized he had one too and brought it into
the classroom, as well. The toys were transparent plastic “rain sticks” filled with little plastic balls. The children were excited to see proof that their guesses were
on target.
We then gathered the materials listed above so the
children could test out their hypotheses. However, the
children realized we needed tubes to test their theories.
So to the large studio we went and gathered a variety of
tubes: tall, short, fat, thin, plastic and cardboard. In or-

Comments
and observations
Turn the tube
over slowly
and it sounds
like rain.
Over the course of several days, small groups of children tested out the various materials and they determined that the pebbles sounded the most like rain. But
they also noticed that when the tube was turned over
the pebbles fell very quickly and in contrast, the items
in the actual rain stick fell slowly. They realized that
this was the key to the beads sounding like rain. So the
next exploration focused on how to make the pebbles
fall more slowly inside of their tubes. The teachers had
anticipated this problem and had not come up with a
solution that could be constructed in our classroom. So
we were curious how the children would approach this
difficulty. We turned back to the clear plastic rain
sticks. Since they were transparent and our actual rain
stick was not, the children could see the inner workings. They noticed that there were obstructions that
slowed down the flow of the little plastic balls. So the
focus shifted to finding ways to slow down the flow of
the pebbles.
A group of children ventured back to the studio and
collected a hodge-podge of materials. We gathered
Styrofoam, rubber bands, toothpicks, Popsicle sticks
and cardboard. The teachers were not sure how any of
this would be used, but very curious to see what the
children would try. The children also had the materials
in the classroom studio at their disposal. After discussing, collaborating, attempting and revising, they discovered that small pieces of Styrofoam and toothpicks
(with some rubber bands added for good measure) created enough of a barrier inside the rain sticks to slow
down the flow of the pebbles, thus creating a more realistic rain sound. They were thrilled with their accomplishments and very proud to showcase their discoveries!
The children’s rain sticks are proudly exhibited in our
studio, enduring evidence of their creativity, thoughtfulness and curiosity.

CHAVAYA
As Chavaya ends another year, we take the
opportunity to reflect on our accomplishments.
Our challenge, of course, is to cram all things
Jewish into 75 meaningful hours per year.
Some say it can’t be done. At Chavaya, we say, It must be
done, and We are up for the challenge. We take the divide
and conquer approach and highlight different subjects each
year. This year we focused on two “moments” in our history, the Holocaust and Jewish Immigration to America.
These topics were selected for two reasons. The first is
that in order to have a complete picture of Jewish life, our
students need to know the truth about what happened in
their grandparents’ lifetime. These students are the last
generation to meet survivors. We are crossing into that
barren desert where the Holocaust is only learned from
history books and from watching pre-recorded videos.
Similarly, learning about the challenges we faced as new
Americans in this country is relevant Jewish history. Students repeatedly commented they had no idea of the hardships of the journey to America, of life in the tenements,
or of working conditions for children their age. Our students cannot imagine a time when America was not our
home. One of my goals for the immigration unit was to
have our students think outside of our limited class time. I
wanted to provide them with thought provoking material
to digest at their own pace. I knew the goal was met when
a fifth grader prepared (at home) to be an Ellis Island clerk
for our Wax Museum. He researched the most popular
boys’ names in 1900, passing over Morris, Alvin and Clarence to select Robert. In his striving for authenticity, this
student took our classroom lesson a step further.
Other accomplishments to be proud of are more returning staff than any previous year. We are thrilled teachers
return to implement our vision and engage with our students. We enjoyed seeing each of our Skype Hebrew tutors who joined us during the year. Most students asked
me to match them with the same tutor in the fall. This
speaks volumes about the connection our tutors are making in the weekly Hebrew sessions.
Lastly, I want to highlight our Aleph-Bet party as an end
of the year celebration in our kindergarten – second grade
class. Our students have been learning the Hebrew letters
all year. We continued the lesson, at the celebration where
cookie dough was formed into Hebrew letters. Afterwards, students and parents worked together to decorate
Hebrew letters to be hung in the hallway. Thank you for
this meaningful and appropriate contribution to our school.
I look forward to seeing all our families in the fall. Religious School begins September 7. Have a Wonderful
Summer.

Cathy and Lanny Plotkin went to Sidona AZ,
and the Grand Canyon. Some beautiful scenery
out there.
Stefanie and Michael Levy went on a cruise.
Ask them about it!
Freda Krosnick tells me that their son Sam will be
graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park this
month with a degree in kinesiology. Freda writes: “Jay, Saul
and I are very proud of him. Our entire family will all be alumni
of UMD -- true TERPS!”
Rabbi Steven Abraham, son of Wendy and Richard Abraham, took up running about a year ago. He's been
training and completed his first half-marathon in Lincoln, NE on
Sunday, May 4th. He finished in 2 hours, 6 minutes! Go Rabbi
Steve! Wendy and Richard are travelling to France in June.
They will visit Paris for a few days and then board the River Baroness cruise which will take them to numerous stops but most
importantly to Normandy. Richard is a great history buff and
Wendy loves art, so they should have a wonderful trip!
Josh Lansky writes: “I was just promoted to the rank of
Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at American University.
(I was previously an Associate Professor after having been
awarded tenure in 2008).”
From Audrey Frank: “I would like to say thanks to all
those who sent me a Purim basket...On my return home from
Florida I was greeted with the lovely goodies which were held by
my neighbor. What a nice surprise!”
Myron and Bernice Goldstein became grandparents on May 1st. Heather and Mark Kaufman are the proud
parents of Bryce Reed Kaufman.
Mary and Allen Wright are pleased to announce
that their son Norman married Dr. Angela Howell on April 5,
2014 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Dr. Howell has an optometric
practice with offices in Jonesboro and several nearby cities.
Norman has now relocated from Orlando, Florida to work in the
recently constructed hospital in Jonesboro.
Stu Eisen writes “Rona and I had a great trip to
Boston for the Marathon this year. We both ran the 5k race on
Saturday and she ran and finished the marathon on Monday.
On Saturday as I was waiting to start the 5k, I ran into Lauren
and Jason Kensky! It was strange being back there after last
year, but we had to be there or the terrorists would win.”
Fran Kensky writes: “I went to Boston with Jason,
Lauren and Hariel for the 1 year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. Jason and Lauren participated in the 5K run
and afterwards we all participated in the 1 mile Tribute Walk with
my niece and nephew - Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downs, who
each lost their left leg in the terrorist attack. Jessica was assisted by her guide dog, Rescue. It was a very emotional day for all.
Hundreds were wearing Team Jess and Patrick shirts. Before
we crossed the finish line, the same finish line where they lost
their legs, we stopped and allowed them along with their parents
and siblings to cross the finish line. Not a dry eye in the house.
We were even cheered on by actor Kevin Spacey. That evening,
Jessica and Patrick hosted a soiree to thank those who supported them, provided inspiration and encouragement, cooked
meals or helped them in some way throughout the past year.
There were 350 in attendance! Everyone was requested to
wear sneakers and we all looked swanky with our party clothes
and sneakers. They both still have a very long road of recovery
ahead of them.”

Auschwitz, Birkenau and Terezin as well as the ghettos that
had been set up by the Nazis in each city. The itinerary also
took them to museums set up by the governments of the countries involved to show the connection of those countries to the
Jews that lived in them. They also saw signs of reviving Jewish
presence in many places, in part due to people – especially in
Poland – discovering their Jewish roots. To learn more, come
to services on July 26 when the rabbi has asked Al to present
a summary of his European travels.
Ethel and Ira Levine spent several weeks in Israel as
SAR-EL volunteers. This means they helped the Israel Armed

MINYANIM
One of the many things that we are proud of at Shaare Tefila is
evening minyan. What a wonderful way to support one another
and strengthen our camaraderie with each other. To maintain
this important mitzvah, it takes all of us. Each and every individual is important to making the minyan. (It’s even okay to
have more than ten people.) For those of you who live close to
the synagogue, that’s great. For those who live far, look at that
as the glass being half full. Your drive time could be considered
Down time, Me time, Transition time, Think time, Time to get
away from your family for a little while, or Time to listen to
your favorite song. Attending the evening minyan is a way to
help your fellow man and woman. It is also a chance for you to
talk to God and who knows – you might even find a few moments of spirituality in your day. The congregation appreciates
your time and we thank you for attending the evening minyan
during your assigned week.
