Professor Deborah Lipstadt First Aid for the Soul Monday, January 13th Congregation Beth Israel has been a partner with the Jewish Family Service for nearly five years specifically with regard to the areas of inclusion and mental health. As a congregation, we have studied and MLK Shir Shabbat focused our attention on supporting these efforts toward our physical Friday, January 17th campus and our educational programming. We have made great strides in this important work. As part of our continued dedication in the area of mental health and overall well-being, this past fall Mah Jongg Mania! Beth Israel hosted the Mental Health First Aid comprehensive Tuesday, February 4th training program. Over the course of eight hours, members of our congregation and larger community became certified in Mental Health First Aid. New Member Shabbat Awareness is the first step toward understanding both the intricacies and challenges Friday, February 7th associated with mental health. Thankfully in the twenty-first century, we are now able to name many health-related challenges. Not only can we identify them, but we are working hard to raise awareness on the difficulties that many have suffered in silence for far too long. Rabbi Ofek Meir, Scholar-in-Residence Being certified in Mental Health First Aid means establishing a sense of comfort with the language and terminology associated with mental health challenges. An individual is February 14-16th thought to seek professional help if his or her ability to “live, laugh and love” is affected. These are serious parameters and ones that deserve attention. Broadway Sensation Through our mindfulness training, we learned important tools for being able to respond Tovah Feldshuh in a timely and effective manner. In our hours together, we came together as a group in Tovah: Out of Her Mind! focusing on breaking down the unnecessary stigma that has long been associated with mental health challenges specifically within the Jewish community. By actively listening to Saturday, February 22nd the needs of another individual, we demonstrate empathy. In truth, being responsive to others’ mental health needs is very much a part of our Rock & Roll Bingo tradition. We are each endowed with a divine spark. That spark takes on many different Sunday, March 8th forms. Sometimes it is simply hidden and deserves the proper care and attention. By being in the moment with every person with whom we interact, we create a holy encounter, Lyon Cohen Symposium worthy of God’s presence. Thursday, April 2nd As a new secular year begins, let us each strive to be present for those closest to us. In Pirkei Avot, Ethics of our Fathers, we are taught, “in a place where there is no humanity, we must strive to be human.” To be human means to be present for those who need us the most. Shir Shabbat We can share our concerns with our loved ones. As a congregation, we are committed to Friday, April 3rd helping all those in need. Whether we can see a challenge or whether one remains hidden, each of us can strive to be the most sacred version of ourselves. God created us in the Second Night Seder Divine image. Through our brokenness we can become whole once again. April 9th Let us not pass judgement on those who struggle for health and well-being. Rather, we must support one another as a community by making solid and lasting connections. We are a community of friends. We are family. May we always feel empowered to find the path • to peace we all deserve.

2 Rabbi Joshua Weinberg Kicks Off World Zionist Congress Election On November 8-9th, Congregation Beth Israel welcomed Rabbi Joshua Weinberg as a Scholar-In-Residence. Rabbi Weinberg serves as the Vice President of the URJ for Israel and Reform Zionism and is the Executive Director of ARZA, the Association of Reform Zionists of America. He was ordained from the HUC-JIR Israeli Rabbinic Program in Jerusalem and joined us from New York. He spoke on Friday night during services and at dinner about the challenges of Reform Judaism in Israel and how the Reform Movement works to help Israel maintain its democratic and Jewish character. He focused on how the American Jewish community and the Israeli Jewish community both need each other in order to create a vibrant, global Jewish community. Rabbi Weinberg discussed this message throughout the weekend including during Torah Study on to March 11, 2020, and anyone who is Jewish and over the age Saturday morning and at a Havdalah reception on Saturday night of 18 may participate in the election for a nominal fee. Similar to co-sponsored by AIPAC; he shared with everyone information electing representatives to represent us on the national board of about the upcoming World Zionist Congress (WZC) election. the URJ or other Jewish organizations, this is not an endorsement of a political candidate or party but simply supporting the Reform The WZC is the Parliament of the Jewish People worldwide, and Movement and working to send rabbis to represent Reform it comprises 500 delegates who meet in Jerusalem every five values in Israel. We encourage everyone in the congregation to years. The 38th WZC is scheduled to meet in Jerusalem in 2020, participate in the election by going to www.arza.org. and its delegates will have the opportunity to exert ideological influence on both Israeli society and Jews throughout the world. WZC allocates financial and other resources to many organizations in Israel, including the Reform Movement, and there are $3.5 billion at stake. A strong election turnout among North America’s Reform Jews will ensure that these funds will continue to flow to Reform congregations and institutions in Israel and to help fill leadership positions in some of Israel’s national institutions including the Jewish Agency for Israel, the Jewish National Fund (JNF), and the World Zionist Organization. The upcoming election will take place online from January 21

Our Israel Advocacy Committee will be helping promote our congregation’s participation during programming and services throughout the election period. Laptops will be available after services and during events including Sunday morning MBJLC programming to allow members to register and participate in the election. Our goal is to have at least 50% of the congregation participate in the election, and we need your help! If you have any questions about the WZC Election, please contact Stanley Horn, Israel Advocacy Committee Co-Chair and WZC Election Captain, at (713) 201-5252 or by email at [email protected].
