The other day, I really did
not want to write this article.
I was written out for the
year, and had to come up
with a topic. My topic came
to me at the Red Carpet
Rodeo, and other places or
meetings that I had recently
attended. “Who are these
people that I do not know?” I
realize that I am not writing about the intended
topic, but rather a different one that is related.
As we near the end of our
2010/2011 School Year, I
dedicate this to our Bar and
Bat Mitzvah's of this past
year. Thank you to their
wonderful Tutors: Paula
Bergman, Debra Dayan,
Robin Leskin and Shirley
Wolfe. “Kol Ha Kavod” (all
the honor) to each of you
who made our Shabbat experiences here at
Temple Beth Emet so beautiful this past year.
**************************************************************
**************************************************************
For many people, coming to Shabbat Services
or a function at the Temple, is like getting on an
airplane. Let me explain. I get on the plane, put
away my carryon, get in my seat, squiggle
around a little, get as comfortable as possible
(since I fly coach, it is not possible to get too
comfortable), put on my seat belt, reach for the
airline magazine, grumble a little as my row
mate makes me move so they can get into their
seat, re-squiggle myself, check out the route
map so I can tell the pilot if he is off course, pull
out a book, acknowledge the other row mate,
close my eyes and fall asleep, only to get up, eat
a snack or wonder if there is even a snack. The
only time I interact with my fellow travelers is to
ask them to move so I can get up and go to the
restroom (they are still there and still are free),
or to give them their luggage. Other than
acknowledging my row mates, I do not say a
word to them.

Cantorial Notes
Rabbi Bennett Greenspon
Now think about coming to a Temple service, or
going to a play or a movie. It is the same
scenario. We come in, get a book, find a seat,
get comfortable, move a bit for someone to get
into the row, get comfortable again, and hope no
one else will be sitting near us. And, we wonder
why services are cold and airlines are so uninviting. It is our fault just as much as anyone
else. I have made a decision to at least
introduce myself to my row mates on flights from
now on, and when I attend a service as a guest.
I invite you to do the same.
*******************************************************
Summer is a time for thinking and planning. I
ask you to think about some things TBE could
offer next year. We are hoping to work with
some of you to create more Chavurot (interest or
friendship groups) that concentrate on specific
things. A number of people said they would like
to start a History and Politics Chavurah. Others
are interested in a Book Club for co-eds or men.
We are working with the JCC to create a Torah
Yoga Class, and have been asked to add more
Mind-fullness Meditation Sessions and Services.

TEMPLE BETH EMET
From the Executive Director
A Message from the President
Jay Nemes
Charles Cutler
This has been another great year for
Temple Beth Emet and our Congregation.
Our membership continues to grow and
benefit from programs and events that we
provide, enriching the lives of our multigeneration families. Our recent “Red
Carpet Rodeo” Western Gala was a
tremendous success, thanks to the effort of
Robyn Cutler and her wonderful committee.
Temple Beth Emet continues to be a leading institution among
South Florida’s Jewish Community. I would like to recognize our
Staff that help make this possible. First, special thanks to Rabbi
Greenspon and Cantor Jan, for your religious guidance and
spiritual leadership. To the Choir, Band, Christi Desky and Ezo
Hernandez, your music is greatly appreciated. Mazel Tov to the
Mentors for preparing the Bar/Bat Mitzvah students. Thank you
Sandy Sherman, Robin Sheridan, Dina Milgram, Toby Bersach
and ECC teachers for giving our children a great beginning.
Todah Rabah to Noemi Gozlan, Jennifer Schatz-Young, Michal
Medina, Lori Hill, Tali Shmuel, Keren Levy, and teachers for
introducing the Elementary/Religious School students to Hebrew
and their Jewish Heritage. Kudos Rayna Engle for supervising
Youth Group, and co-directing Teen Travel with Joel Lazarus.
Congratulations Robin Sheridan, Dina Milgram and Camp Staff
for creating a fun-filled summer for the kids. Special appreciation
to Administrative Staff Susie Meroz, Allison Sleigh and Karen
Kofsky, for your professional assistance. To our Maintenance
Team: Oscar Monterrosa, Bernardo Florez, Frankie St. Hilaire,
Edgar Berrospi, and Roberto Rodriguez…”Muchas Gracias”.
Membership  Tzedakah  Mitzvot  Volunteering
In 2010, we set new goals for Temple Beth Emet and focused
our attention on the importance of these four issues. As our
Membership increased, we created Chavurah groups that
brought families together, and more adults joined Men’s Club,
Sisterhood, and PTO. In response to our Tzedakah campaign,
Rabbi Greenspon initiated his “REACH” challenge during the
High Holy Days. Throughout the year, we encouraged members
to extend their generosity by making charitable donations,
dedications, and contributions to various funds. Our efforts
generated successful fundraising at major events. Performing
Mitzvot became a daily project, leading up to and following our
annual Mitzvah Day. Members contributed endless hours
Volunteering at services, holiday celebrations, programs, and
events. I would like to express gratitude to some dedicated
volunteers for their year-round service to TBE: Barry Issenberg
for the website; Aaron Weiss and Steve Daleo for computers;
Janis Nemes for the monthly bulletin; Peter Weinstein and other
men for work around the Temple; Paul Berkowitz for the pool,
equipment, and events; and Lance Jeffrey for photography.
For the past three years, it was a pleasure to work with outgoing
President, Harold Gubnitsky, a dedicated leader to Temple Beth
Emet and its members. At this time, I would also like to welcome
incoming President, Charles Cutler. I look forward to working
with Charles, the 2011-2012 Officers, Board of Directors, and
Auxiliary Groups. Our new Board is beginning to lead us into the
next fiscal year with their great enthusiasm. In August, Rabbi
Frank DeWoskin will be joining TBE as our first Associate
Rabbi. We welcome Rabbi DeWoskin and his family to South
Florida and Temple Beth Emet.

TEMPLE BETH EMET
Fourteen years ago my wife, Robyn, and I
walked into the office of TBE’s campus on
Pembroke Road to look at a pre-school for our
children, Jamie and Myles. As soon as we met
with Rabbi and Sandy Sherman, we knew we
had found the perfect school. Over the years,
beyond the wonderful education for our children,
our family found so much more here. We found a
second home.
In raising our children, we thought it important for them to
understand that being part of a community is not just about taking,
but also about being active and giving participants. As parents, it is
our responsibility to lead by example. We chose to teach these
lessons through our involvement at Temple Beth Emet. Though you
never are really quite sure what your kids are getting out of your
lessons, I am confident that as adults, they will be active members
in the Jewish community.
I am honored to have been chosen by the congregation to serve as
Temple Beth Emet’s President. I am fortunate to be supported by a
fabulous Board of Directors and Advisors. I must extend a thank you
to Harold Gubnitsky on both a personal level as a mentor, and as a
member of our congregation. Harold assumed the presidency at a
really difficult point. During his tenure, America has suffered one of
the worst economic downturns in history along with financial
scandals which impacted many Jewish institutions. Without his
leadership, foresight, and genuine concern for our stability and wellbeing, our congregation might be in a very different position.
Because of his efforts, I am able to assume my responsibilities with
TBE in a growth mode. Although we still suffer from many financial
challenges associated with the economy, we can all be highly
optimistic about our future.
One of the things I look forward to the most is meeting with fellow
congregants. I will be planning casual breakfasts with as many of
you as possible, along with Rabbi Greenspon, Rabbi DeWoskin,
and our Executive Director, Jay Nemes. These gatherings will be
great opportunities to have informal discussions about anything and
everything pertaining to our Jewish community. I am eager to know
what we can do to ensure you are getting out of your relationship
with the temple what you and your family want and need. I hope you
and your families have a safe and healthy summer. If you would like
to talk to me about any ideas or concerns you have, I can be
reached by email at TheDonutGuy@msn.com.
Warmest regards from my entire family,
Charles, Robyn, Jamie and Myles Cutler

WHAT’S BEHIND &
WHAT’S AHEAD
One school year has ended, and another is
ahead of us. Let’s take a look back at some
of the classroom highlights, as reflected
through the newsletters written by our
amazing teachers.
From our Pre-K: We had another X-cellent week in Team 305,
especially since Mr. and Mrs. Xx came for a visit!! How many
ways can you make the letter X? That was the challenge from Mr.
and Mrs. Xx, and boy-oh-boy did we do an X-ceptional job
showing them all the ways!!! We made an X with our bodies,
pencils, pipe cleaners, blocks, popsicle sticks, q-tips, play dough
and pretzels. We had a lot of fun!! What can you find around your
house to make the letter X? We also put on our thinking caps and
brainstormed words that end with X. Ask your child some words
that end with X (fox, box, pox, fix, six). What smart boys and girls
we have in this class!! Did you know Mr. and Mrs. Xx’s favorite
subject in school is science? They brought an X-plosion Xperiment for us to do! Ask your child what happened when the
colored liquid (vinegar) was poured into the plastic bag with
baking soda. The pressure caused the bag to pop and X-plode!
We loved this science X-periment!!!
(continued) Early Childhood Center
It was a busy week and everyone loved the “specials”. In Playball
the children were jumping through hoops, running on tip toes, and
walking like spiders. In literature the children enjoyed making our
version of blintzes (eating dairy foods is a custom on Shavuot). In
Torah Talk, the children learned about Israel and looked through
an Israeli newspaper. The children had the opportunity in science
to pick a center of their choice. We used magnets, discovered
about sinking and floating, identified objects with the microscopes
and used test tubes with colors. Water play was great. The
weather was perfect and the children had a blast. So many
activities…so much fun…so much learning. We hope you enjoyed
your glimpse into the wonderful world of TBE ECC!
Congratulations to ECC Pre-K “Class of 2011”
Learning how plants and trees grow has been an amazing
experience. The children understand the seeding, rooting and
growth of trees, what trees provide to the planet as well as
people, and they have created their own artistic types of trees.
They have drawn, traced, torn, seeded, rooted and labeled their
trees in their own personalized way. Discussions on oxygen, fruits,
wood and products from wood and how trees provide shade and
homes for animals and insects have been a large part of literature,
songs and circle time.
Because we stress the importance of kindness, the word "peace"
was introduced. The children came up with ideas on how peace
can be spread. It was incredible to hear children say... peace is
when there is enough food for everyone in the world. The children
made pictures and their ideas on attached to them. All of their
thoughts brought smiles to our eyes. We truly have a roomful of
mitzvah makers.
From our Nursery: We have been focusing on fine motor
development and strengthening skills which will prepare the
children for Pre-K. They are tracing their names, using “mat man”,
writing letters, cutting, coloring within the lines, and gluing small
objects on specific art projects. Please practice grip at homegiving the children a small pencil or skinny crayon and watching
them hold it. We've also been practicing drawing people (can you
guess which special person?). We were so pleased to see the
amazing creations (or creatures), complete with facial features
and body parts. You will be, too!
We spent a great deal of time identifying our letters and hearing
the sounds. We made a song about the letters and sounds and we
sang it each day. We learned about syllables and clapped to our
names. We played a game with numbers using our number
boards. The children took turns naming the numbers. If they were
not sure, they counted the dots. We are hoping to get to twenty

before the end of the school year.

Beth Emet Elementary School
Noemi Gozlan-Director, Michal Medina-Asst. Director
Another year has drawn to a close. Once
again, we find ourselves wiping away a tear
as we bid farewell to you, our amazing
students. As we reflect on an incredible
year of all your beautiful smiles, infectious
laughter, outstanding personalities, and
uplifting spirits, we realize that only with the
passing of time when you look into the eyes
of your own children, will you comprehend
how precious you are, how much we love
you and what a gift you are to the world.
“Thank You”
To all the Elementary School parents - thank you for entrusting us
with your children, and allowing us to be partners in their
education and growth!
Thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for the enthusiasm
and passion that is so clearly reflected in your every day work.
You always take pride in going above and beyond what is
expected of you, and in giving your all to each and every child.
Thank you to Rabbi Greenspon and the Board of Directors,
Temple administration, our partners in preschool, religious school,
youth group, maintenance, and the entire Beth Emet staff for your
continued support. It is a pleasure to work together.
Finally, to our wonderful PTO, we extend our most sincere thanks
for your continued partnership and initiative.
To the Board, your tireless efforts and creativity have resulted in
another year of amazing programming through which our
students, teachers, and school reaped countless rewards.
A special thank you to you and all our wonderful volunteers - your
support is invaluable.
To all of you, we wish a wonderful, safe summer. May it be filled
with special moments and lots of laughter.
See you next year!
Noemi & Michal
William Shakespeare was a visionary.
For as he dipped his quill in ink to write
down these words over four hundred
years ago, he managed to capture the
essence of a powerful emotion; one that
we are faced with today, as we bid
farewell to our amazing Class of 2011.
To our phenomenal graduating class, we leave the following words:
“Parting is such sweet sorrow” - William Shakespeare
Like Shakespeare, you too are
visionaries, as you hold within you the
promise of the future. Your creativity
knows no bounds, your imagination no
limits.
With an insatiable thirst for
knowledge and curiosity unquenched,
you are the scribes of your own histories.
Like Shakespeare, you too are
playwrights and poets. For as the story
of your own life unravels, set it to the
rhythm of your own special beat,
embracing the challenges while always
keeping true to who you are, the driving
force of your personal narrative.
Like Shakespeare, you too are an
inspiration. Let kindness be your guide
and compassion your muse, for it is
these qualities within you that have left a
lasting impression on our hearts.
8
Parting is such sweet sorrow. For with every big change, there comes the excitement for
the promise of the future, and sadness for that which is left behind. Let the tears of today
give way to the excitement of tomorrow…Kita Hey, You Rock!!!

Dear Chaverim (Friends),
The 2010-2011 School Year has come to
an end but not before we celebrated many
milestones in our children’s lives.
st
We held a special 1 Grade Consecration
Service. We had a lovely service honoring
th
the 7 Grade Class moving up to Judaica
High School. We were all very proud as
they received their diplomas and books. I expect to see all of
them again next year in the 8th Grade. The Confirmation Service
was very diverse and inspiring. I will be delighted to see them
return to us for a stimulating and growth oriented 11th Grade.
This year’s new extended program has been successful and
rewarding for everyone. The program would have not been
possible without all the people involved in making it happen. To
all the students who devoted their time and volunteered in the
Merkaz Limud all year long, THANKS!!
To our wonderful Rabbi and Cantor Jan, “Thank You” for being
so great with all of us, always there when needed and
supporting all the school staff and programs.
To Jay Nemes, “Thank You” for all of your support to the school.
To our Assistant Religious School Director Jennifer SchatzYoung, Lori Dressler Hill and Keren Levy who are all so devoted
to their work, the school, the staff and the students, a “BIG
THANK YOU”.
Last, but certainly not least, “Thanks” to all of the Merkaz Limud
Teachers and Mentors.
As we wish you a pleasant summer, I need to remind all of you
that registration for the 2011-2012 School Year is already under
way, and there are some classes already filled to capacity.
While we try to accommodate everyone, some are asking not for
magic, but for miracles.
There are only so many configurations that we can make with
school schedules being what they are and the number of
students we have to place. We aim for flexibility; some
schedules and class size limit our options.
Let me make a suggestion that may help you decide on the
choices available. The choice is ultimately yours, (not your
child’s) to make. Take advantage of the Sunday schedule or
consider after school activities where the coaches create
schedule options for the days and times the child is available.
Their religious education will stay with them a lifetime, while
their athletic options are time limited.
Please get your registrations in as soon as possible so that we
may have a better chance of accommodating your first choice.
In the meantime, have an enjoyable summer, and we
look forward to seeing you all again very soon!!!
Shalom

This Youth Group article is all about the fun,
Jewish things you can find online. Using social
media and surfing for new computer apps,
games and links probably takes up most of your
free time, and you likely find really neat things
on a daily basis.
What happens when the digital fun, becomes a
digital danger? “Wait a minute,” you say. “This
is Rayna’s article from my Jewish Youth Group.
What do “digital dangers” have to do with being Jewish?”
A couple of months ago we celebrated Purim. The story of Purim
may have happened thousands of years ago, but there are a
number of modern lessons we learn from its heroes. What does
Mordechai and Esther have to do with me downloading, uploading,
Googling and YouTube hunting you ask? Think about it. What
aspects of ourselves do we hide, and what do we reveal? How,
when, and with whom do we share information about ourselves?
Sometimes, while online, you are asked to reveal information about
yourself. You fill in the different fields that request information of you
without thinking about it. Your Facebook page may have your phone
number on it and photos of you at school or hanging out with your
friends.
Using this information, anyone can find out more about you,
including information you may not want strangers to know. You may
reveal information about yourself thinking that only your friends will
see it. It is important to recognize that anything you post online, can
and will be viewed by strangers around the world. Do you really
want strangers to have your phone number or see what you look
like?
You should feel proud to be who you are and proud to show who
you are. When it comes to digital information exchange such as
social networking, be cautious! Just like Queen Esther, who chose
when and where it was appropriate to reveal her true identity, you
too should choose the appropriate people and places to reveal
information about yourself.
Queen Esther chose not to reveal her true identity in the Purim
story. She chose what was safe to reveal when she first met her
husband King Achashverosh, and hid what she felt would be
dangerous to reveal. Only when she knew she had to or felt the
need to, did she give information necessary to make a difference.
Next time you’re filling in personal information fields while online,
think about it…should I conceal or reveal? And use Queen Esther’s
courage to help you decide!
Have a safe and wonderful summer!!!

Sisterhood Scribbles
By Marcy Gray
Isa Joseph-Sisterhood President
Temple Beth Emet Men’s Club
Steve Feldman & Tommy Mandel-Men’s Club Co Presidents
Another year has ended, and it is time for
summer once again to rest, relax, and
perhaps get away. We had an interesting
year with our Annual High Holiday Apple
Bagging, Holiday Toy Drive, Chanukah Gift
Exchange, Monthly Book Club, Mah Jongg
Clinics, Breakfast & Dinner Events, Party
Showcase, Theater Performances, Guest
Speakers, Sisterhood Shabbat, etc. Thank
you to all who participated this year. While everyone is enjoying
their summer, the incoming Board Members will be busy preparing
an exciting agenda for next year.
th
On April 25 , the Men’s
Club enjoyed our first
“Baseball Game Night”
together, beginning with
a delicious dinner at
Shorty's BBQ in Davie.
Later, we watched as the
Marlins scored 2 runs in
the bottom of the ninth
inning to win over the LA Dodgers at Sun Life Stadium. Everyone
was happy to meet and welcome our newest TBE Member, Greg
Wallach, who joined us.
Our May Book Club was hosted by Miriam Krischer and Marcy
Gray. We discussed the class and gender roles in modern day
Bombay, the dichotomous relationship among women, and how
class differences can affect that relationship. At our June Book
Club hosted by Monica Steinman, we discussed “A Reliable Wife”
by Robert Goolrick. We hope to continue Book Club throughout
the summer. Hosts are needed for July and August.
st
th
Softball Playoffs took place on May 1 at Bamford Park. As 6
seed, we worked our way through extra playoff games without a
bye. We won our first game against the Gelt Team, our second
against the Yentil’s, and our third semi-final game to the Bially's,
nd
who were 2 seed. The game was close, TBE’s Team was tired,
and two of our players had injuries. We closed the Spring Season
placing third out of the 12 Team League.
st
Our End of Year Dinner took place June 1 , along with a General
Meeting to present the Slate of Officers, and Sisterhood Elections.
On May 9th, the Men’s Club had a great time at Sun Life Stadium
watching the Marlins play the Phillies for our second “Baseball
Game Night”. Join us once again at 7:00 pm on June 13th as the
Marlins play the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Monday, June 20th
when the Marlins play the LA Angels. Please contact Tommy
