FROM THE CLERGY
Welcome Temple Emanuel
This month, BHC’s Hoffberger Gallery is displaying art that
formerly graced the halls of Temple Emanuel of Baltimore.
Soon enough, these items and more will be found in different
locations around our synagogue. As Temple Emanuel integrates into Baltimore
Hebrew Congregation, we will also be embracing several Torah scrolls, prayer and
other books, some furniture, and even a number of Purim Carnival games.
However, the true gifts BHC is receiving from Temple Emanuel are not things. Our
congregation’s historic journey will be enriched by the people and the legacy that
Emanuel brings to us. BHC has created an Emanuel Fund as one way of recognizing
the significant contribution their congregation has gifted ours. We honor their sixdecade-long journey and are honored that they have chosen to integrate with BHC.
Nearly 100 Temple Emanuel families have joined BHC this spring and more will
come. BHC congregants and staff have been actively engaged in helping integrate
these new members, as with any of our new members, into our congregational life.
We appreciate the support and efforts of their lay leadership in these efforts as well.
Temple Emanuel’s legacy includes the teachings of their rabbis and cantors over the
years. We are blessed to have their journey now join with BHC’s.
This Bulletin’s cover presents some of the new blessings we have received. Rabbi
Gustav and Sheila Buchdahl have become regulars at BHC Shabbat services over the
past several months. Our Board of Electors has appointed Rabbi Buchdahl as our
Emanuel Emeritus Rabbi. He joins Rabbi Perlmeter as one of our Rabbis Emeriti. Gus
is familiar to many of our congregants, but less familiar to others. He served Temple
Emanuel from his ordination in 1963 till his retirement in 2000. He has remained
active at Temple Emanuel and the community since then. Rabbi Sachs-Kohen and I
are honored to have Rabbi Buchdahl even more available to us for advice. We know
you will warmly welcome them, their fellow new BHC congregants, and the spirit of
Temple Emanuel.
– Rabbi Busch
CANTORIAL TRANSITION AND SEARCH
Cantor Solomon announced at May’s Annual Meeting that he will be retiring
as BHC’s Cantor on June 30, 2017. We have been blessed with his musicianship,
spirituality, deep knowledge of Judaism and menschlikeit. He will continue to serve
the congregation throughout the coming year, and we will celebrate his career and
his service to BHC next spring. BHC President Steve Sharfstein has appointed Bobbi
Perlman, BHC Vice President, to serve as Chair of the Cantor Search Committee.
A diverse and committed committee has also been appointed, whose members
are: Ronnie Footlick, Stan Gann Jr., Susanna Garfein, Marcy Hyatt, Maria Lambros
Kannen, Brian Katzenberg, Richard Kemper, Joe Kovars, Jay Kramer, Deborah
Lieberman and Jonathan Rich; Steve Sharfstein and Rabbi Busch serve as ex-officio
members of the committee. BHC will work with the American Conference of Cantors
(ACC) as we conduct this search. The ACC Director of Placement has assured us that
she expects our cantorial opening to be a popular position.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT:
STEVEN SHARFSTEIN
Welcome Jill Eisen
The E.B. Hirsh Early Childhood Center (EBHECC)
is one of the premier programs of BHC and one
of the outstanding schools for young children in
Baltimore. It has thrived under the leadership
and compassion of Renée Stadd, who is retiring.
We will miss Renee, but I am pleased to announce that we have
found a new Preschool Director, Jill Eisen, who began on June 20.
Alex Mareiniss (Chair of EBHECC Advisory Committee), Richard
Gross (Chair of the Search Committee), and I are very excited about
Jill and what she will bring to the EBHECC.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Jill recently. She is warm
and engaging, with a genuine excitement about joining BHC. She
commented on the warmth she experienced during the interview
process and every time she has visited the school and the Temple.
She will bring both competence and great energy to us.
Before joining us, she was the Assistant Principal of the BermanLipavsky Religious School and Director of Hebrew School in Your
Neighborhoods and Outreach for Beth El Congregation. In her letter
to Brad Cohen, she stated, “I believe that children can change the
world, even at the infant stage.” Her passion about education and
training, her love for the kids, and her outreach to families is clear
and compelling. Here is more from her letter to Brad: “Education
is a journey, and we must capture the imagination of our students
every time we are in their midst. It is the administrator’s and
educator’s role to be welcoming and engaging….My personal
aspiration is to make quality education available for all children
and to make that education interesting, meaningful, and part of
their identity.”
Prior to Jill’s twelve years at Beth El Congregation, she worked for
Hillel at Towson University and Penn State. She has also received
a number of awards in Jewish education. We are very fortunate
to have Jill join us with her vision and deep commitment to the
children for whom we care, and we all look forward to engaging
with her over the next many years.
Also exciting for our school is the construction for a much
needed new playground as well as other refurbishments.
I hope all of you have a wonderful and restful summer. There
will be Shabbat services throughout the summer and, of course, we
will have Summer Nights on Park Heights!

Annual Giving
THANK YOU FOR MAKING
ANNUAL GIVING A SUCCESS
Thank You for Making Annual Giving 2015-16
a Great Success!
You took the call and made Annual Giving
2015-16 a great success. Thank you! Not only did
you help us surpass our goal, but this year 59%
of the pledges made represented new and increased gifts.
Your Annual Giving gift is so important because membership
dues alone are not nearly enough to support BHC. They don’t cover
our operating expenses, much less the myriad of programs and
support services we provide including:
• Pastoral Care and Lifecycle Events
• Religious, Adult and Family Education, and
• Exciting programs that enrich the lives of
our congregants.
Your beautiful gift to Annual Giving 2015-16 is helping to
ensure that no one is ever denied membership because of
economic difficulties or hardship. Your gift also ensures that future
generations will grow up in a strong community of Jewish tradition
and learning at a warm, wonderful congregation where we all
feel welcome.
Thank you for your support of BHC.

YOUTH LOUNGE RENOVATIONS
In honor of Erma and Marvin Mirvis and through the generosity
of Debra and Howard Mirvis, BHC’s Youth Lounge is receiving a
well-needed facelift over the summer. Special thanks to Robin
Hiken, Interior Designer, and Alex Trakhtman of Zander Homes, for
donating their time and energy to the youth lounge renovations,
creating space for kids of all ages. Be sure to stop by to check it out.
THE MORE USHERS, THE MERRIER
4
BHC is blessed with ushers who volunteer on the High Holy Days
and Shabbat. Our congregation is reaching out to increase our
ushering corps. Ushers can be men or women, long–time members
or relative newcomers. Ushers greet those coming to services and
help hand out prayerbooks. Brotherhood’s Ushering Chair, Harvey
Schevitz, does a great job of briefing and organizing ushers. Help
represent BHC. INFO: Iris Powell, ipowell@baltimorehebrew.org.
Baltimore Hebrew Congregation Bulletin • Number 11 • 25 Sivan – 25 Tamuz 5776 • July 2016
SUMMER SERVICES
BHC Shabbat Services continue throughout July and August. All
Friday night services will start at 6:15 pm. On Saturday morning,
Torah Talk will meet at 9 am in the Library, followed by Shabbat
Shelanu at 10 am in the Chapel. PJ Shabbat will be enjoyed on
Fridays, July 1 and August 5, 6:30 pm. We are grateful for those
Temple Emanuel members who will be helping lead summer
services to assist our clergy. Additionally, Rabbi Gustav Buchdahl
will be leading our services on Friday & Saturday, July 8 & 9
(including Torah Talk) and Friday, September 2.
BHC CONNECTS WITH SUMMER CAMP
We love that so many BHC kids can be found at camp, especially
Jewish camps, during the summer. Even some of our adults spend
time working or volunteering at camp. Please let us know where
and when your kids will be at camp. Rabbis Busch and Sachs-Kohen
love writing letters to our campers. Give camp information to Iris
Powell, ipowell@baltimorehebrew.org. Additionally, Brad Cohen
will be at The Union of Reform Judaism’s Camp Harlam for part
of the summer and Rabbi Sachs-Kohen will spend time at Camp
Louise and Camp Airy. Rabbi Busch may also be visiting some
camps. We love being in touch during the summer and hearing
about camp afterwards. Enjoy the fresh air.
WRJ CALENDARS
For over 100 years, NFTS/WRJ has annually published the Art
Calendar to encourage and showcase Jewish artists. Unfortunately.
this coming year (5777) this project will end. This is due to ecology
and more use of technology.
MEAL MAKERS
BHC Cares offers meals to fellow congregants at difficult life
moments. For example, we serve those who have lost a loved one,
brought home a new baby or are recovering from illness. Making
and delivering meals is a rewarding experience. INFO: Sharon
Edlow, sharonke123@gmail.com.
PHONE CONNECTION COORDINATOR
Through Phone Connection, volunteers reach out to congregants who
may not be able to participate in congregational life as frequently as
they did in the past. We are pleased that BHC Cares member Lynette
Berman is the new coordinator of this important program. If you
would like to make such calls or know someone who should be called,
contact Lynette. INFO: Lynette Berman, lynetteberman@yahoo.com
or 410-484-6853. We would like to express our appreciation to Stan
Levin for chairing the project so diligently these past years.
VIDEOSTREAMING VOLUNTEERS
We are looking for volunteers to assist with videostreaming for
Shabbat and holiday services­—perfect for a high schooler needing
community service hours. INFO: Temple Office, 410-764-1587.
NEW HEARING ASSISTANCE LOOP
In addition to the hearing loops we have in our main assembly rooms
and Sanctuary, BHC now has a hearing loop at the receptionist’s
desk. All you need to do is turn your hearing aid to t-coil. If you are
hard of hearing and not outfitted with a hearing aid, we have head
sets you can borrow. INFO: David Weis, dweis@baltimorehebrew.org
or 410-764-1587, ext. 243.
SUMMER NIGHTS ON PARK HEIGHTS
Summer Nights on Park Heights returns
this month, bringing us great current
events discussions every Tuesday
in July, 6:30-8 pm. Our clergy and
Educator provide great up-to-date
topics for great conversations. Join us
in BHC’s beautiful courtyard for these
Tuesday evenings, and you’ll also be
treated to tasty cocktails and snacks
as you enjoy time spent exploring the
news with friends.
Summer Nights on Park Heights are
free and all are welcome, so go ahead
and invite friends who might not be
BHC members. In case of inclement
weather, we will simply move inside.
See you there!
BEACH SHABBAT
Are you ready for an amazing night at the beach? BHC clergy will
lead the Shabbat Evening Service to be held on July 8, 7 pm. Arrive
at 6 pm to enjoy a BYO dinner and schmooze with your friends.
Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli will be at the event if you would like to
purchase dinner. The event is free and all are welcome.
Location & Directions: Beach Shabbat is located at the South
Inlet Day Area of the Delaware Seashore State Park. An address
that should work in your GPS is 27099 Coastal Hwy, Bethany Beach,
DE 19930.
From the North (Rehoboth) – Head south on Coastal Hwy. Cross
the bridge over Indian River Inlet. Take the first exit on the right
after crossing the bridge. Turn left to go under the bridge. Enter
South Inlet Day area.
From the South (Bethany, Ocean City, Baltimore) – Head north
on Coastal Hwy. Look for signs for South Inlet Day Area. Turn right
into South Inlet Day area. If you cross the bridge over Indian River
Inlet into Rehoboth, you have gone too far.

SUMMER’S IN FULL SWING
With summer in full swing, Chai Life looks to continue the season
with a number of enjoyable outings this July. We will kick off the
month with our Helping Hons project on Sunday, July 17, Noon-2 pm
a time to be determined as we get closer. Volunteers will work with
Parks & People on a community garden project. Come show your
Orioles pride on Saturday, July 23, as we gear up to see our favorite
birds take on the Cleveland Indians at 6:30 pm. The month will
conclude with our annual Hike and Havdalah on Saturday, July 30,
which will offer a walk through Lake Roland Park (formerly Robert
E. Lee Park) and finish with havdalah, drinks and dessert.

PRAYERBOOK HEBREW THE EASY WAY
Did you ever wonder what all those Hebrew words recited in
Shabbat Services mean? Now is your chance to find out! Beginning
in September, Cantor Sacks will be offering a Sunday morning
course that will introduce basic prayerbook Hebrew vocabulary and
grammar. The class will continue through the spring and coincide
with the Religious School calendar. Basic decoding skills are required
for this class. INFO: Becky Gutin, bgutin@baltimorehebrew.org
or 410-764-1587, ext. 250.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BHC TEAM
Over the past four years at Brandeis University,
I have focused my Education Studies major
specifically on formal and informal Jewish
education. After interning under Brad Cohen
and Andy Wayne this past summer to further
explore my interest in Jewish professional work,
my love for all aspects of Jewish education
strengthened. This internship, along with the mentorship of many
wonderful professors, has given me a taste of what it will be like
to work within this community, and I cannot wait to get started!
As a lifelong BHC congregant and a newly established Brandeis
alumna, I am eager to incorporate my zeal for Jewish youth
education and my love for the BHC community into one. I look
forward to working with a truly collaborative and passionate staff,
and being surrounded by a community that dedicates its time to
Tikkun Olam and learning. I hope to provide our Religious School
students with the support and resources that can make their
experience at BHC meaningful. This community has given me so
much, and I look forward to being able to reciprocate.

ADULT BEGINNER HEBREW CLASS
Can’t read Hebrew? Cantor Sacks is teaching BHC congregants in
an Adult Beginner Hebrew class on Sunday mornings, beginning
in the fall. This class is for adults with little or no Hebrew
reading ability and will fulfill the beginner Hebrew requirement
for the Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah program. INFO: Becky Gutin,
bgutin@baltimorehebrew.org or 410-764-1587, ext. 250.
PAUL’S PLACE CAMP
Calling all Congregants: BHC will host Paul’s Place Camp,
Monday, July 25-Friday, July 29.
This summer we are thrilled to have the opportunity to host a
week of summer camp for Paul’s Place. Paul’s Place is a resource
center for people in Southwest Baltimore that our congregation is
dedicated to supporting. Forty elementary-age campers from the
Pigtown neighborhood in Baltimore will spend one week (out of 8)
at BHC for summer camp.
We are looking for volunteer counselors, special guests, and
volunteers to make this camp a huge success. If you have a passion
for cooking, science, story-telling, art, sports, or anything else
creative we need you to get involved. INFO & Volunteer: Brad
Cohen, Director of Education, bcohen@baltimorehebrew.org or
410-764-1587, ext. 290. This will be an amazing opportunity.

BRING CAMP HOME
By the time you read this article, I will have
spent two weeks at URJ Camp Harlam and
have my calendar planned out for day visits to
Camps Airy, Louise, Moshe and Capitol Camps.
Being immersed in a Jewish environment 24-7
is deeply impactful on our children. They live,
eat, breath, pray, play and explore Judaism
in everything that permeates through camp. This will be the
3rd summer Elie, my 5-year-old, will attend camp with me as a
day camper. The direct impact that camp has had on his Jewish
identity shines through.
Here are some ways you can bring camp to your home:
1.Music: Camp is masterful at using music
to foster a love for Judaism—check out
Jewishrockradio.com.
2.Language: Camp is amazing at labeling rooms,
objects and activities—label objects in your
home: google Around-the-house Hebrew word
labels and use Hebrew when talking about
objects at home.
3.Community: Come to Shabbat Services as a
family this summer.

THE POWER OF DISTRACTION
Shalom! I am the new Director of the E.B. Hirsh
Early Childhood Center. I am so happy to have
joined your BHC family. Everyone has made me
feel so welcome. We want children and parents
at the school to feel welcome and cherished,
too; it is a wonderful way to build community.
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect
and dignity, from our youngest infant to our oldest Pre-K to the
parents to the faculty and staff. Maya Angelou so wisely counseled:
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.” We want all
to feel that they belong and that they add meaning to our amazing
community. Input, both from school families and the broader
congregation, is invaluable. Over the next few months, families will
receive a few short surveys to determine what they would like to
see happen within our early childhood community; i.e. scheduled
play dates at local parks, a baby-sitting co-op, parent-education
learning tips and volunteer opportunities are just a few ideas to
get the ball rolling. Our canvas is blank, and we have all the colors
available to paint our community masterpiece. I can’t wait for the
creative process to begin.
Occasionally, I will share my educational thoughts here. I’ll start
with distraction. Parents have been told when their child starts
to get antsy you need to distract. One option is avoid a problem
situation that can result in a breakdown for you, your child or both.
I have learned from my 5-year-old, Benjamin, that I must keep a
few word or math games or activities in my back pocket. Last week
we were shopping at Wegmans. It was late in the day and we were
all tired. However, we went in with a strategy: a short shopping
list and the rule if you want to practice Rock, Paper, Scissors you
must remain in the cart seated in the front. I am happy to report
playing Rock, Paper, Scissors was the distraction we needed for that
adventure. Why did it work? First, we set the rules in the car with
input from Benjamin and had agreement from all parties. Second,
we put Benjamin in the cart in the parking lot. Making sure we
were in a safe place, we played our first game of Rock, Paper,
Scissors before going into the store. This inspired trust that we, the
parents, would keep our word. Third, we engaged Benjamin in our
shopping list. What do you want to eat with your hummus? Carrots?
Cucumbers? Pretzels? Each item was on our list; this gave Benjamin
an opportunity to choose the brand or the shape. He felt part of
the decision-making team. When he wanted something not on the
list, we showed him the list and said it wasn’t there, but we would
be happy to consider putting it on our next shopping adventure
list. You can use anything as a distraction: while in line count the
number of people in front of you and behind you and then ask
where are we in the line; look for your favorite color; play a word
game; etc. I am happy to help you find ways of distraction that meet
your child’s needs. It starts with a plan, constant consistency, and
just a few ideas in your back pocket.
My door is open to school families, members of the congregation
and beyond—please come in. I can’t wait to meet you.

Yahrzeit, we pay tribute to those who blessed us in life and continue to bless us through memory.
In this spirit, our Congregation makes it possible to establish memorials for everlasting
remembrance. A page in the Book of Memorial, or in combination with a Sanctuary Seat Plaque,
may be dedicated as a memorial to your loved one.

Our annual Shabbat bike ride up the NCR
Trail, known as the “Tour de Torah” will take
place on Saturday, August 27, 9 am at the
Monkton Station. We begin with a short Torah
study led by Cantor Solomon at the side of the
building and then we proceed up the trail to
the Mason-Dixon Line and often beyond into
New Freedom, PA for a healthy lunch. The trip
is about 25 miles round trip, with the return
being mostly downhill, so if you enjoy biking,
it’s a leisurely ride. INFO: Cantor Solomon,
rsolomon@baltimorehebrew.org.
BROTHERHOOD OPENING
DINNER
The 2016 Brotherhood Opening Dinner
will take place on Sunday, September 18.
We are excited to announce that HaZamir
Baltimore will perform during this special

U.S. and Israeli chapters of HaZamir: The
International Jewish High School Choir, a
project of the Zamir Choral Foundation. Our
chapter is comprised of over 30 teens from
12 different high schools. HaZamir Baltimore
is conducted by Erika Pardes Schon.
ROSH HASHANAH UNDER
THE STARS CHOIR
Ever wonder what it would feel like to be
singing on an open-air stage in front of
upwards of five thousand people, your face
beamed across the field on two giant video
screens? Well, BHC is offering you a chance
to do just that! Adults and students entering
7th-12th grades in the fall are invited to join
Cantor Solomon in BHC’s Rosh Hashanah
Under the Stars Choir. INFO & Sign Up:

Rosh Hashanah Under The Stars is
Sunday, October 2, 6 pm at Oregon Ridge.
There are three rehearsals scheduled on
Tuesday evenings: September 13, 20 and
27, 6:15 pm. This is the tenth annual Rosh
Hashanah Evening Service that we have done
at Oregon Ridge, and every year the crowds
get bigger and the excitement greater.

will be Dr. Amy Landau, Associate Curator of
Islamic and South Asian Art at the Walters
