Vol. 86, No. 3 - Congregation Beth Shalom
November 2015 Cheshvan - Kislev 5776 Vol. 86, No. 3 We all know that “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and denim is the perfect way to dress down but still look great and fashionable. So we bring to you the best of both worlds, a Denim & Diamonds theme party is a great way to dress up, while dressing down, but in a fashionable way! The best thing about about this party theme is that it uses items that almost everyone has in the closet. Everyone has a pair of their favorite jeans or pants and every lady has some fun bling to add to her look. We did not forget the men, jeans or your favorite pants and a jacket, no ties required. But…don’t forget your dancing shoes, after all this is a dinner dance. Join us for a night of great music from a classy loungey sound to dance, dance and dance. Of course the drinks will be sublime and the food exquisite. www.bethshalomkc.org | 913-647-7279 November 2015 From the Rabbi’s Study Learning to Live in Ordinary Times Tishrei is the Hebrew the spiritual without any shortcuts. Holidays are spiritual shortcuts. We month when so much have rituals. We have family gatherhappens – Rosh Haings. We have synagogue celebrations. Shanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret All of these are shortcuts to spiritual connection. and Simchat Torah. What is much harder is to try to Heshvan is the Hebrew month that immediately follows. It is find spiritual connection in the every day. It is a challenge to make time for often called “Mar” Heshvan - translated as “bitter” Heshvan, because it is God when sometimes it doesn’t even the only Hebrew month without any seem like we have time for ourselves. It can be overwhelming to think holidays. I often joke, that whichever rab- about talking to God when it doesn’t bi titled “Heshvan” as “Mar-Heshvan” seem like we have time to talk to our spouses or children. was obviously NOT a pulpit rabbi! This, I would suggest, is the Though Tishrei is the busiest month most challenging part of faith - learnof the year, I would not say that it is ing how to live spiritually in ordinary the most spiritually challenging. times. Sometimes people are able to Actually, the rabbis were rightdo this through prayer or meditation there is a bitterness in a month withor even through mindful eating. out holidays. Or, more accurately What we cannot afford to do, there is a frustration in trying to find though, is to live our lives on autopilot. The purpose of the holidays of Tishrei is to prepare us not for “Mar” Heshvan, but “Mundane” Heshvan. In the same way that a married couple seeks out ways to “keep dating” after many years of marriage, we must nurture and invest in a spiritual life. Interactions such as finding ways of seeking holiness in the work interaction, the bedtime story, the homeless man at the highway interchange or the grocery store take up most of our lives. If we can find a way to live them spiritually, we will have added an entire new dimension of holiness to our week, our month, our year and our life. Rabbi David M. Glickman dglickman@bethshalomkc.org Execut i vel y Speak ing A CBS Update 5776 is starting off really well. Ten families have joined Beth Shalom since this spring, and we have seven more children enrolled in the Rose Family Early Childhood Education Center than we budgeted for. We ended 5775 with a balanced budget, and for the second year in a row, we have exceeded our budgeted amount in pledges from our High Holiday appeal. Our congregation is attractive to new and existing members and offers positive experiences in our priority areas of prayer and spirituality, congregational learning and member engagement. Let’s remind ourselves of two opportunities which are coming right up. 2 November 2015 Do you feel like contributing your time and talent in some small way to our congregational community? On Sunday, November 8, in Goldsmith Hall, we’ll have our first “Committee Jam.” We’ll start with bagels and coffee right after morning minyan at 9:15 am. At 9:30 am, representatives of most of our thirty committees will be at tables, so we can all explore how we might want to get engaged in our congregation. I’ve heard from some of you that you’re looking for an opportunity to serve that is more than “sitting around talking.” Well, several of our committees actually have volunteer opportunities. So look for those specific opportunities. Come together as a community for a fun evening. Come to “Denim & Diamonds” on Saturday, December 5, after Shabbat. Remember Cabaret last winter? It was sold out. We expect to sell out Denim and Diamonds this year, too. Not only is it fun (and a great dinner), but it’s our only annual fund raising event. Remember our budget depends on our dues, our High Holiday Appeal, and our annual fundraiser. Thankfully, we are generous in fulfilling all three so that we may bring ourselves the experiences we seek from our kehillah, our sacred community. It is said that members of nonprofit organizations can contribute in three ways: time, talent and treasure. I am grateful that we, as a congregation, Norman Kahn, Jr. are generous President in all three nkahnmd@gmail.com categories. www.bethshalomkc.org | 913-647-7279 Minyan Maker is Very Important Minyan Maker was developed to insure there is a minyan every morning and evening for every member of CBS who wants to recite Kaddish as a mourner or for a yahrtzeit. All CBS members who are not mourners or saying Kaddish for a yahrtzeit have a responsibility to do their part to help guarantee a daily minyan. During the week, we hold our minyanim at the Appleman Synagaogue at Village Shalom. We would like to recognize those who have attended through Minyan Maker during the past three months. Our Minyan Maker Regulars include: Sunday-Minyan Maven is Ron Coppaken, and attendees are Steve Azorsky, Jeff Blackman*, Bernie Fried*, Rabbi Glickman*, Susan Hamner*, Hannah Harris*, Richard Simon*, David Slusky and Gene Wolowski. Monday-Minyan Maven is Joel Goldman, and attendees are Jeff Blackman*, Paula Cohen*, Ted Goldstein*, Rabbi Glickman*, Marshall Gale* and Jimmy Rosenbloom*. Tuesday-Minyan Maven is Debra Rubin, and attendees are Arthur Berger*, Jeff Blackman*, Alan Edelman, Mel Glazer, Hanan Hammer, Larry Kalender*, Rhea Salasche and Peter Shapiro. Wednesday-Minyan Maven is Beryl Silberg, and attendees are Hazzan Ben-Yehuda*, Larry Cohen, Chuck Gasser and Berenice Haberman. Thursday-Minyan Maven is Jimmy Rosenbloom, and attendees are Hazzan Ben-Yehuda*, Marshall Gale*, Rabbi Glickman*, Byron Ginsburg, Ted Goldstein* and Larry Kalender*. Friday-Minyan Maven is Aletha Simon, and attendees are Arthur Berger*, Jeff Blackman*, Peter Cabell, Paula Cohen*, Diane Federman and Sylvie Radvinsky*. Ted Goldstein, Norman Kahn and Bernie Fried are available in addition to their “regular days”. Pinch hitters who come as they are needed are Erwin Abrams, Mike Abrams**,Elyse Block, Randy Block, Brian Brockman, Gavi Glickman, Jeff Goldenberg, Steve Israelite, Sid Kanter, Marcia Karbank, Eddie Meltzer, Richard Silberg, Elaine Singer**, Debbie SoslandEdelman, Shira Zigler and Scott Zigler. Torah Readers are Alan Edelman, Art Federman, Gavi Glickman, Jeff Goldenberg, Mara Lambert, Dan Margolies, Allan Reichman, Jimmy Rosenbloom, Avi Sonnenschien and Josh Sosland. Many of our “regulars” have also been with Minyan Makers from the beginning. Both Marvin Goldstein and Carla Klausner who attended morning minyan for a number of years have found it necessary to take a leave of absence, and both are missed. Those who attend morning minyan without signing in to Minyan Maker are urged to do so to give us an accurate number for the daily minyan. As you can see, Minyan Maker is a team effort, and we need more people to join the team. *Attend more than once a week ** Have been Pinch Hitters since Minyan Makers was organized. Of Blessed Memory, Marvin Gibian, 1927-2015 We note with great sadness on October 12, the death of Marvin Gibian, past president of Congregation Beth Shalom, 1980-81. He was a fourth generation member of our congregation, also serving as president of the Men’s Club and the Couples Club. Marvin also served on the boards of JCC of Greater Kansas City, the Guardian Society and the Jewish Federation. He was a Troop 61 Eagle Scout and a warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. His banking career spanned over 50 years. Our condolences go out to his beloved wife, Evelyn, his two daughters and sons-inlaw: Linda Gibian and Mark Fishman and Ellen and Jeremy Fenster, his 12 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren. May his memory be a blessing. Parashat Hashavua Group Parashat Hashavua is an ongoing, monthly program that takes place on every third Shabbat of the month at 9 am, in the Board Room.

We look back at the last six to eight weeks and take a deep breath. I want to share with you what I see as I breathe deeply. The school year started smoothly with several exciting new developments in curriculum. Last year we introduced the Hebrew Lab to our school. In the Hebrew Lab, students in grades 4 - 7 learn Hebrew together through games, listening stations, the Rosetta Stone interactive computer program, and one-on-one teacherstudent interactions. This year we have gone deeper in the lab by focusing the curriculum on the skills of leading t’fillah (services), and chanting Torah and Haftarah. Students work together with their friends in all grades towards their goals. The message we have created is that this skill, while helpful for Bar or Bat Mitzvah, is a Jewish skill that each student will be able to use throughout his or her life. In third through seventh grades, we are now in our second year of Etgar, the United Synagogue’s awardwinning learning-through-doing curriculum. Students engage in text study that will not only help them to acquire knowledge and skills, but whose ultimate goal is to build their appetite for Jewish learning. In fifth through seventh grades, we have introduced a new class that is completely project-based, where students are learning about Jewish people D'var Torah by Emma Shapiro had very few active members.

In this way, we are bringing together the history of our people by focusing on historical figures who drove the development of theological, philosophical and practical ideas. Students will spend the year engaged in smallgroup work and class-presentations as they learn independently and then share what they have learned with the class. We look forward to a community-wide presentation of many of the projects the students create sometime in the spring. Next month, I’ll tell you all about what’s happening in High School! If you’d like to learn more about our school, or get involved in the School Committee, please feel free to call my office or drop me an email at hazzantby@bethshalomkc.org. and Birkenau was partially blown up by the Nazis. I spent the walk through Majdanek silent, tearing up once when I stood in a room filled to the top with shoes that belonged to innocent people. The second time I cried was at the memorial at the end of the camp. The memorial is a circular shape with a hole in the center. The hole is filled up with human ashes that have been recovered. Every time I think back on those moments, it doesn’t seem real to me that I actually was there. While touring the camps I always noticed that people had their cameras out snapping photos in every room. Even in the gas chambers they were taking pictures of the fingernail scratches on the wall. I found this interesting because to me, these sights were something that would never leave my memory. (Part II of this D’var Torah will appear in the December Scroll.)

The faculty at Rose Family Early Childhood Education Center completely agrees! We teach Jewish Values as a core part of our curriculum. This year the main value we will stress is kindness and respectCHESED. We now have Captain Chesed Capes! When a child treats someone kindly and with respect, he is the most important super Hero/Shero, and he gets to wear the Captain Chesed cape! We believe we are creating a generation of children who will make our world a much better place because they will be kind caring people, one Captain Chesed at a time! Danielle Antes, an incredible mom who is filled with kindness, has made us 4 amazing capes for the 3-5 year old rooms! We are so excited about our new CAPTAIN CHESED program!
