I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE

Some years ago, at a Sukkot dinner at Chabad, the guests were asked to introduce themselves and express something they were grateful for this holiday. One person stated being grateful for being alive. It was a particularly poignant moment which has stuck with me in the years since.

Of all the things we take for granted life itself probably ranks at the top. The truth, however, is tomorrow is never a guarantee. We need to live each day to the fullest, never discarding an opportunity granted to us. We may never see it again.

As we emerge into what some of my colleagues call the great offseason may the excitement of the holidays carry us to bigger and better triumphs, and never down into the doldrums. Rabbi Evan B. Rubin

FROM THE PRESIDENT

TO BOLDLY WHERE FEW MEN HAVE GONE

Right now I’m feeling like Captain Kirk from the Star Trek series and I’m about to bring the the starship, USS Enterprise, into port so she can receive an overhaul and the necessary upgrades since setting sail back in 2014.

I’m turning over my command to an experienced and highly capable new President and Executive Board. They are familiar with the Orthodox Universe and they will navigate us further on our mission and beyond. Good luck to Bobby Berkowitz and the new Executive Board. Go with strength.

November and the Jewish month of Cheshvan are nearly aligned from beginning to end, much as our two calendars were last month. Cheshvan opens with Parsha Noach, a story of a uniquely different man from the people that lived in his time. Noach was chosen by G-d and then tested. His adherence to G-d’s plan assured his survival of the great destructive flood. While in his time he was chosen, we for the first time see the lineage of Abram who later becomes Abraham. We don’t compare them as they lived at different times and faced different experiences. This was G-d’s plan and his methodical path for creating the Jews is deeply rooted in the fact that we were chosen to receive His Torah.

This is our birthright and our blessing. The story repeats every year and studying it we learn more and more about ourselves and the universe in which we live. It has made a life time full of adventure, learning, and enlightenment for me.

Thank you for choosing me as your President and allowing me to steer Etz Chayim for just a little while. I’m confident our shul will go and discover more of the world around us and continue to be the welcoming Orthodox portal for Jews near and far.

We are always on a great journey exploring all that surrounds us. As we continue to be guided by the Torah, we will make wise decisions on our direction and we will be drawn to the flame that burns brightly in Orthodox Jewry. Danny Becker, President SISTERHOOD NEWS

Congregation Etz Chayim is proud to announce Daniel Becker as this year’s recipient of the coveted Morris Lubitsky Memorial Award for 2016.

Danny was born in Columbus, Ohio to Sara and Albert Becker of blessed memory. He is the older brother of Chuck (Martha) and Roberta.

Danny attended the Ohio State University and graduated from the University of Wisconsin (Milwaukee) in 1976 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. In addition he took Continuing Education classes in Marketing and Statistical Process Control from the University of Toledo and Eastern Michigan University.

Danny married Cindy Bines in 1978 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and moved to Toledo in 1990 to begin his career in the Automotive Battery Manufacturing Industry. He was responsible for Sales and Marketing of automotive, heavy truck and off-road equipment batteries for 36 years.

Soon after Cindy and Danny moved to Toledo, they joined Etz Chayim. They have two sons, David and Ben. Both boys graduated from the Hebrew Academy of Toledo and were consecrated, had their Bar Mitzvahs and were confirmed at Congregation Etz Chayim. Ben was married earlier this summer.

Danny has served on the board of the Men’s Club as Membership and Programming Vice President for over ten years. He began helping with the shul picnic and the Kishka Dinner and became a regular in the shul kitchen. Because his job often sent him to the Detroit area, he became the “shul schlepper” bringing kosher food and baked goods for shul events.

Danny began serving on the Board of Trustees in early 2000. In 2011 he was asked to serve on the Long Range Planning Committee. He then served as Vice President of Finance and was elected as President of the synagogue and is currently completing his term of two years.

Danny is most deserving of this coveted award and is honored to be receiving the Morris Lubitsky Memorial Award.

DAVID BLACK TO RECEIVE THE 2016 HARRY LEVINE SERVICE AWARD

Congregation Etz Chayim is proud to present the distinguished Harry Levine Service Award for 2016 to David Black. David, the son of Louis and Rochelle Black was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. He is the oldest brother to Gina and Ben and sister in law Alanna. David attended the Hebrew Academy of Toledo from preschool through sixth grade. Following Junior High, he graduated from Sylvania Southview High School in 1999. David is currently working on his Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology with a minor in Psychology at Lourdes University. He has made the Dean’s List every semester. For 18 years, David worked at Charlies Homemade Pizza and is currently the assistant manager of Barry Bagels in Sylvania. David has grown up at Congregation Etz Chayim where he celebrated his consecration, Bar Mitzvah and Confirmation. He attended the Etz Chayim Sunday School from preschool through 10th grade. When he was asked to help with the duties of Gabbi, David gladly accepted. He currently helps with Shabbos and holiday services and when the other gabbis are unavailable. He leads in the daily morning and evening services and helps make a minyan whenever possible. With his restaurant experience, David has also worked in the shul kitchen to help with the Men’s Club Kishke Dinner and the annual shul family picnic. David is very proud to have been chosen to receive the Harry Levine Service Award for 2016.
