Julius Kopelowltz, Rehovot [Julius added his recollections of the same pe riod. ed.] Some time ago, my progeny, to mark my birthday, came up with an inexpensive, but seductive gift: an album of nostalgia, or the photographic record of the milestones and other gaps in their father's life.

In the early 1940s the commu nity barely mustered a minyan of Jews, all Zi onists for sure, but lacking the numbers to sus tain any organised Zionist activity, let alone a youth movement. Little wonder then, that a notice in the Jewish press concerning the holding of a summer camp at the Balfour Park Chalutz Farm fired the im agination of a 15 year old 'plattelander.' Here was the opportunity for making closer acquaint ance with practical Zionism and the resurgent drive for Jewish statehood.

While that speech took a slightly tongue in cheek approach to the history of BSVT; as we begin year twenty-six I would like to a moment to explore what BSVT is about today. Being mature; at least in part; is being able to have greater breadth in viewing your role / responsibilities. B’nai Shalom v’Tikvah is no longer the congregation that hopes to provide a Hebrew school for your children, a place to come and worship in a liberal Jewish environment and an organization that provides for your life cycle needs. BSVT has accomplished that! In my view, being mature, means taking an important place in your community as well. You may have noticed recently that the population in the Durham Region is about to explode.

  • GA Resource Guide 2013 Essential Readings for Conference Sessions
    GA Resource Guide 2013 Essential Readings for Conference Sessions From BJPA Director Prof. Steven M. Cohen If you’re privileged to be attending the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America taking place in Jerusalem, November 10-12, you’ll enrich your experience by perusing this selection of background materials assembled by the Berman Jewish Policy Archive @ NYU Wagner (BJPA). This Guide pairs conference sessions – titles and speakers – with documents selected to familiarize you with the speakers and to deepen your understanding of the topics. And, if you’re unable to attend the GA this year, this Resource Guide will give you a glimpse into the issues, thinking, and discussions that will be taking place This Year in Jerusalem. These documents are drawn from the 18,000 (and growing) articles, reports, and other items contained in BJPA’s vast storehouse of materials bearing upon North American Jewish communal life, dating from 1900 to 2013. BJPA owes its existence to the vision and generosity of Bill Berman of Detroit, the renowned leader in the Jewish federation movement (and elsewhere) who, among other exemplar leadership experiences, has served as President of the Council of Jewish Federations, the predecessor organization to JFNA. Since Pew Research Center’s A Portrait of Jewish Americans has touched off such passionate and crucial discussions among Jewish thought leaders, we open the Guide with links to the study itself, and to many (but by no means all) of the responses which the study has prompted. As always, please be in touch with any suggestions or reflections.
