A Night to Celebrate All We've Accomplished! From Rabbi Rheins

Fit to be King? Mel Brooks’ hilarious classic History of the seated on his royal throne, he shall have a copy World Part 1 includes his memorable portrayal of of this Teaching written for him on a scroll by the swaggering and vain Louis XIV gloating, “It’s the levitical priests” (Deuteronomy 17:18). That good to be the King.” With a sly smile and a wink teaching emphasizes a limitation of the King’s that revealed his lust for power, possessions and, power. The Torah warns against the abuse of well, just pure lust, Brooks’ King was a petulant power and exposes the flaws and arrogance of boor. Yes, it’s good to be the King. But is the King corrupt leaders. (or President) good for us?

Weeks (minchah chadash, la-Adonai b-shavuot-tei- There are many different explanations for the khem) you shall observe a sacred assembly. custom of eating dairy products on Shavuot, the The first Hebrew letters of the phrase“new grain Festival of Weeks.

Rashi and Sforno’s commentary tradition of Gematria. Forty is, of course, the to this verse). Since Shavuot is the Festival that number of days Moses spent on Mount Sinai when celebrates z’man matan Torateinu (the time of the he received the Torah. giving of our Torah), it is natural to eat foods that While there are many different reasons for symbolize the sweet nourishment of Torah. eating dairy on Shavuot, they all remind us that Rabbi Solomon Ganzfried in his Kitzur Shulchan just as the nutritional value of milk is essential Arukh (103.7) records another reason for eating for human growth and health, so too the inspired chalav or milk on Shavuot.

Monday, May 2nd, around 7.45 pm, we are finishing the recitation of the silent amidah, and I give him the cue: it’s time for him to play. He had a full day at school, but he looks ready; he takes this with a great deal of respect and responsibility. Out of the silence, this gorgeous melody pours out of his violin...or maybe directly from his heart: Schindler’s List theme song. It is a moving song, and he plays it exquisitely, but as I look into the congregation, that is not the only reason why they are captivated. The congregation is captivated by this young man, by his presence, by the depth in his eyes while he plays, by his level of concentration and how he’s able to be exactly there, present with heart and mind. He finishes the piece. I place my hands on his forehead, kiss him gently and say “God bless you, Teddy.” Edward “Teddy” Meyer is 13 years old, he plays violin and is a member of TMG, our Teen Music Group. This past May, TMG was part of Temple Sinai’s Yom HaShoah evening service and program. They didn’t just participate, Sheila Nesis Cantor they absolutely made the evening; they led the Maariv service, they sang special tribute songs, Edward Meyer played violin and Sam Schenkein played guitar. I’m proud of our Teen Music Group; not only because they sound really good, and they are fun to be with! I’m proud of them because of their commitment and what they give to our community. In this day and age, our children have countless options of hobbies and after school-activities, but these kids and their parents decided to make life in community priority. I want to express my gratitude to our TMG and Youth Choir members and their parents for giving themselves to Temple Sinai, and to my amazing choir co-leaders Dan Yolles and Megan O’Connor. It has been an amazing year, and I look forward to more friendship and songs in the year to come! From The President

Chai-Lights from the President On behalf of the entire Temple Sinai community we extend a huge thank you to Lisa Thorner, Program Director, and Evelinda Urman, event chair, for the outstanding work they contributed to our Annual Event in May. A hard working committee consisting of Jessica Adler, Grace Bach, Loretta Cawelti, Sherri Diamond, Terry Goldfarb, Vicki Goldman, Marion Goldstein, Joan Kehl, Marty Meitus, Judie Schwartz, Judy Schwartz, Andrea Tenenbaum, and Linda Weinstein deserve our thanks for contributing to this wonderfully successful event. The silent and live auction, entertainment, food, and “FUN” made the evening memorable. The evening was well thought out and spoke of good planning and a careful eye to detail. I would once again like to congratulate our honorees: Marshall Abrahams, Rob Abramson, Larry Jacobson, Michael Melun, and Nate Mendel. Our gratitude to Wendy Vean you remains endless. Thank you to everyone in attendance for making our 2016 Annual Event a fun extravaganza. President When talent and hard work meet together - the result is success! A year ago I assumed the role of President of Temple Sinai. It has been a wonderful experience. I have met and worked with so many dedicated people. Learning how the Temple functions has been a great opportunity for me. I recently attended a four-day seminar in Atlanta with 125 other Temple Presidents from around the country. I not only acquired great new leadership tools, but I met and quickly came to value a cadre of dedicated, smart and determined Jewish lay leaders who I will call on for their best thinking and support in years to come. Our connection with one another remains strong for we all share a partnership, we support one another and we continue to discuss ongoing opportunities. I am forever grateful that I was given the chance to attend this Seminar underwritten for 18 years by Honey and Rudi Scheidt. As this year’s term ends we need to thank the following board members who are leaving as trustees. Their dedication and commitment are truly appreciated. David Freider, Amy Rittenberg, Ed Schenkein, Allan Striker and Michelle Weinraub have displayed extraordinary qualities to our Board of Trustees. We wish them much success in future Temple endeavors. Our debts of gratitude to each of them. Todah Rabah! We welcome new leadership to the board this next term 2016-2017: Vicki Goldman, Jeff Lavenhar, Barb Lettes, Mark Meyer, Gene Rosenthall, Bruce Tully and Frank Urman. What a great contribution to serve as a member of the leadership team that helps Temple Sinai. We applaud your willingness to give your time, your talents and yourself as a board member. The goodwill of those we serve is the foundation of our success! It is a real pleasure to continue to express my ongoing thank yous. My wish for all of you is that the upcoming summer months are filled with enjoyment, safe travels, and as always, happiness! 4 L’Shalom, Wendy From Amy Becker

Our staff has the great honor of working with incredible volunteers who are dedicated and committed to Temple Sinai in various ways. We can never do enough to appreciate the long hours and tireless effort of those who are willing to share their skills. It is difficult, but each year we select one exceptional volunteer to recognize as Temple Sinai’s Volunteer of the Year. This year we are proud to announce that Ed Schenkein has been bestowed with Amy Becker this honor. Executive Director Ed has served as the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees for the past four years. He has been a truly incredible and devoted volunteer, consistently since he took office. Ed has not only determination to make a difference, but he insists on nothing less than the best for our congregation. He cares passionately about our Temple and has donated countless hours of his professional services to help ensure our financial success. Ed was also instrumental in the Building Our Future campaign. He worked with the Building Committee to analyze the budget, track expenses, ensure proper accounting and finally help to secure funding with a financial institution. He took this responsibility very seriously and shared his knowledge and wisdom when securing our loan. All of this and he never has complained about working too hard, too many hours or asked for anything in return. When Ed is not working for and on behalf of our congregation, he is a CPA for SingerLewak, a top-100 accounting firm in the United States. Prior to that, Ed was partner in StarkSchenkein for over 20 years. He has countless affiliations and has worked on numerous boards. Ed has been married to Judy Bloomberg Schenkein, a Pediatrician in Castle Rock for 19 years. Together they have raised two wonderful teens, Sarah who is 18 and Sam who is 15. We hope that you will join us as we pay tribute and share our gratitude to Ed for his hard work on Friday, June 24th at Shabbat Services. Amy

FYI As you are aware we have the privilege of enjoying a wonderful Oneg following services on every Friday evening. For many years we have asked our members to sponsor the Onegs and graciously they have agreed. For over 20 years, we have left the rates the same for this sponsorship. As much as we try to keep costs down, continuing with this tradition and making it enjoyable for our members has been difficult for the same fee. Beginning August 1st, the fee for sponsorship of an Oneg will be $250. All B’nei Mitzvah families will be required to provide this fee as a part of their child’s simchah. This price includes: linens, paper goods, catering staff set-up and clean-up, herring, coffee, tea, punch and the essentials for Kiddush including grape juice and challah for everyone. Additionally, we ask every sponsor to provide up to 30 dozen sweets in the fall/winter/spring or fruit and veggies in the summer. We will also be offering to provide the sweets for you if you choose, for an additional fee. As you are hopefully aware, sponsoring an Oneg is a wonderful tribute to someone you care about. As a parent of B’nei Mitzvah, this is a fabulous way to thank the congregation for welcoming your child to the congregation as an adult. If you are interested in sponsoring an Oneg in honor of a loved one’s simchah, special birthday or anniversary or simply out of respect for your fellow members, please contact Diana Kaplan at [email protected]. 5 In the Congregation

Small Increase For Dues 2016-17 This year the Temple Sinai Board of Trustees and your Temple staff have work diligently to balance the operating budget. Many members of the staffing team spent hours evaluating programs, cutting unessential items, prioritizing goals, strategizing on fundraising and setting goals for keeping costs at a minimum. As with many businesses and organizations, the cost of living and the cost of operation go hand in hand. Everything increases from utilities, to supplies and vendor services. We also had to recognize that our hard working staff needs to feel appreciated by receiving some sort of salary increase that meets the cost of living increase. Therefore, the Board approved a 3% increase beginning July 1, 2016. We are grateful to all of our members who accept this increase and understand that maintaining our buildings, programs, services and staff comes with a cost. Your support is always appreciated.
