TAMMUZ/AV/ELUL 5778 | THE KOL 3 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE It is both an honor and a privilege to begin my term as President of Temple Beth El. I am also equally as pleased to have the opportunity to introduce two new members of our Senior Staff, Hazzan Randall Levin and Jody Dietz, Limmud Religious School Director. Hazzan Levin comes to TBE with more than six years of experience as a lead and almost a decade of work in the Jewish community. He is a graduate of the University of Akron School of Music, the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and the H. L. Miller Cantorial School of the Jewish Theological Seminary. Randall, his wife, Emily, and their two boys, Henry and Michael are a welcome addition to our TBE family and the Rochester community.

Jody assumes the role of Limmud Religious School Director with a long history of and participation. She spent six months in Israel working and studying on Kibbutz Ein HaMifratz during college, served as the Executive Director of the New Jersey Region of HaShachar Young Judea for two years, and was a madricha for three American Zionist Youth Foundation Israel Summer programs. Jody earned her graduate degree in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University. She previously worked for the Eastman Kodak Company and Hillside Family of Agencies where she held a variety of roles in Human Resources with a focus on Organizational Development and Learning. Jody also co-chaired our TBE Human Resources committee. I am excited for Jody to join the TBE leadership team and to help evolve our religious school program.

Religious Schools have long been a topic of discussion as continue to struggle with attendance and delivering meaningful, engaging content to our children. Responses to the struggle and critiques have varied over time, but the root cause of the challenge – our challenge – is one of unclear and conflicting expectations. For families, is religious school merely a place for children to associate with other Jews? Is it solely for training and preparation for B’nai – that milestone representing an end to when instead it should be a springboard? Is it a mandatory “must do” part of being Jewish? For educators, is the goal to develop Jewish identity or discover ways to enjoy being Jewish? Is it to motivate children to continue their Jewish education during high school, college, and beyond? Is it to learn Hebrew, Torah, or ?

Religious school is only one element of a full Jewish education experience. It is our combined responsibility as a congregation to offer all our members a variety of learning experiences from preschool/early childhood to adolescent and family programming, adult education to camps and retreats. Fostering opportunities that enable our congregants of all ages to encounter the richness of Jewish traditions, and to instill in themselves strong Jewish identities, commitments, and practices, is an important and worthy endeavor. We will undoubtedly find success in our combined efforts, commitment to each other, and in support of our TBE staff, educators, and .

I grew up at TBE – I am a product of attending religious school here and completing Midrasha. My Bar Mitzvah was here, I was married here, rejoiced in the naming and of children here and recently celebrated my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah here. Serving as President of this organization represents another chapter for me here and I am thankful for the opportunity.

I believe the future remains bright at TBE. Get involved – help us reach our highest potential.

L’Shalom – enjoy the summer! Marty Spokony

4 THE KOL | JULY/AUGUST 2018 FROM THE DESK OF THE SENIOR RABBI It is with a full heart and pure excitement that I extend Hazzan Randall Levin, Emily and their children, Henry and Michael, greetings and well wishes as we welcome them all for a most successful tenure at Temple Beth El.

Temple Beth El strives to be a welcoming, inclusive, nurturing home for anyone interested in fostering relationships, learning our ancient history along with new modern rituals, and finding deep and enriching spiritual moments.

I sincerely hope that at Temple you and your children will find your community. It is in our religious services, Limmud Religious School, Torah Study opportunities, along with multiple life cycle events and holiday celebrations that we find our connections with one another and ultimately with God.

I am sure Hazzan Randall will add a new dimension to our services, High Holy Day worship, and community life and look forward to launching into this new chapter in our congregation’s history together.

I look forward to working together, strengthening our team of professionals, and sharing our path to holiness and fulfillment.

Hazzan Levin, Emily, Henry and Michael, welcome to your new home, welcome to Beth El.

TAMMUZ/AV/ELUL 5778 | THE KOL 5 NOTES FROM OUR HAZZAN. . . One of the unexpected highlights of my graduate training at the Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music was the study of sonata form. As a young voice major, far more versed in Paul Simon’s Graceland than I was in Mozart’s 30th Symphony, I was, to say the least, not always overjoyed with my coursework in “Graduate Theory and Analysis.” But in studying Charles Rosen’s seminal work on the subject of sonata form, I found it fascinating that the emotions one feels when listening to music could actually be understood, and given greater meaning, through studying the large-scale musical forms. When I went on to study at the Jewish Theological Seminary, this approach would greatly enhance my ability to understand the Jewish liturgy as connected spiritual system, rather than merely a random collection of unrelated .

I won’t get into every detail of sonata form in this small space, but the basic premise is that the music starts out as a presentation of two competing musical ideas, or themes, in two different keys. In between the first theme and the second theme is a transition (what is called a bridge in pop music) that connects the two themes, and the two different keys. Next, there is a second section, called the development, where the ideas are, more or less, broken apart into their smaller component parts, and then repackaged in various ways. This is often a chaotic process, in which there is considerable tension, and also one in which some interesting possibilities are put forth. The last part of the sonata form is what’s called the recapitulation—a new presentation of the original themes in their entirety. In this second presentation, however, the two themes appear not in two different keys (as they did the first time) but in thesame key.

Notably, in between the two themes the second time around is a second transition, different from the first one, of course, since we are now imagining these two themes not in opposition to one other, but existing in the same dimension. The “job,” then, of the second transition is to facilitate a reality in which two apparently different ideas are hovering alongside one another as if they were meant to be heard together all along. This creates a very satisfying moment for the listener. In achieving this moment, it certainly helps if the composer has written two memorable, compelling themes. But what makes it all really “work,” is actually not the themes themselves, but the transitions, and how they effectively bridge the gap between one idea and another, ultimately determining whether we hear the two themes as being in two different keys or in the same key. This is where the real work and skill of a gifted composer becomes evident.

As summer fast approaches and I shift my attention from one pulpit to another, I can’t help but notice the connections between this musical form and the process of integrating new religious leadership into a community. While I am most certainly energized by the challenges of this opportunity, I am also humbled by the task. For as an ancient declares, “Kol hatchalot kashot: All beginnings are hard.” Change, no matter how exciting and full of possibility, is not easy.

Before long, our thoughts will turn to the High Holidays, which will serve in some ways, as a microcosm of this transition. Together, we will engage in a process of rediscovering what was, deciding what is to remain, and imagining what will be. Like the traveling through the wilderness, our transition may at times have moments of uncertainty and insecurity, of starts and stops, of complaints for needs not met, and demands to return to the old. Some will be reticent about moving forward. Others will want to move forward too fast.

The wilderness, though, can be a time of great creativity and of new voices being heard. What I can assure you, as I most humbly enter your community, is that your voices will indeed be heard. There will likely be moments when it seems like we are singing in different keys. You may be used to one model of what a Hazzan is and does, and my model may be different. What might have worked well in my previous congregations might not work well here. It takes time for a Hazzan to get to know a congregation and to become a true shaliach tzibbur. But I will hear you. Over time, I will become better attuned to your style and expectations, while you will get to know me and, hopefully, appreciate the gifts that I bring.

6 THE KOL | JULY/AUGUST 2018 I am most certainly looking forward to getting to know you all, and to hearing your voices, both as individuals, and as a group. Temple Beth El is a gem – a truly special, and most welcoming, community. Emily, Henry, Michael and I are delighted to now call Rochester our home, and to be a part of both the tradition and a dynamic future at Temple Beth El. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention how honored I am to be following in the footsteps of such extraordinary Hazzanim as Sam Rosenbaum and Martin Leubitz. I pray that, along with Rabbi Bitran, I will be able to serve each and every one of you in your own relationship with God, and the Jewish people, and in helping to continue the work of making Temple Beth El a place of learning, inspiration, transformation, connection, acceptance, and joy.

TAMMUZ/AV/ELUL 5778 | THE KOL 7 YOUTH EDUCATION CORNER I am honored and privileged to have been selected as the new Limmud Religious School Director and I look forward to building on the rich history, deep tradition and commitment to educational excellence that have been the hallmark of Temple Beth El's religious school for decades. I have had the opportunity to meet quite a few parents during my tenure as the Interim Director and appreciate the feedback and creative ideas that have been shared. Parents interested in meeting with me, I welcome your calls, emails or visits if you wish to chat.

I am working very closely with the Education Committee to plan for the new school year. Together we are looking at the goals, structure and curriculum of Limmud. What follows is a sneak preview of what will be coming this fall. In September our teen program will no longer be called Koolanu. There will be just one religious school at Temple Beth El called Limmud for grades K-12. Work is underway to create a new curriculum for our teens that is meaningful, engaging and educational. We know that many of our teens enjoy opportunity to volunteer in the younger classrooms. We are currently developing a Madrich/a In Training (M.I.T.) Program for these teens. Applications for this exciting program along with information about required training will be available shortly.

It is very quiet in the hallways of Limmud this summer and we are missing the smiles, laughter and that our students share during the school year. While your children are enjoying some much needed relaxation, family vacations, time with friends and camp, we are busy preparing for the fall. Be sure to mark your calendars as our first day of classes will be on Wednesday September 12. We will celebrate the start of the school year with a school-wide picnic following Limmud on Sunday, September 16th. If you have not yet registered your child(ren) for the fall you can access the registration form online.

Temple Beth El remains committed to educational excellence and we are actively recruiting and hiring exceptional madrichim (leaders/teachers) to join our Limmud staff. There will surely be familiar faces in the halls of Limmud when school resumes along with some new ones. Professional development for our staff will be an area of focus throughout the school year as we work collaboratively to continuously build our shared knowledge and skills. We will participate in both community-wide training for Jewish educators, as well as offer Limmud specific ongoing learning programs.

A school is only as good as the partnerships that are established across staff, parents and students. Thus, improved communication with parents and greater opportunities for family engagement will be a priority in the coming school year. Specifically, we will host a Meet the Teacher Night in October, identify a room parent for each class, offer parent- teacher conferences and schedule class specific family programs and services throughout the academic year. Stay tuned for more details.

Learning the is a cornerstone of Limmud and we will be putting a greater emphasis on Hebrew instruction and differentiation this year. In September students will be assessed for their Hebrew reading, writing and comprehension and will receive appropriate differentiated instruction. This will provide opportunities for us to challenge our students who have higher than grade level Hebrew capability and to better support those who need extra help.
