Celebrating Ten Years With Rabbi Wechsler Shabbat Shavuot Saturday, May 30 9:15 a.m. Join us in celebration of Rabbi Deborah Wechsler’s ten years of dedicated service to Chizuk Amuno Congregation Kiddush luncheon immediately following services RSVP to Marci Scher, 410/824-2057 or [email protected] Chairs Heller and Ari Zaiman Mimi Blitzer and David Mallott

Rabbi Wechsler has touched the lives of many members of our community through her intellect, warmth, compassion and commitment to the ideals of Conservative Judaism.  As the first woman to serve as rabbi of Chizuk Amuno Congregation, her impact and accomplishments are demonstrated in our successful adult B’nei Mitzvah and adult learning programs, Gemilut Hasadim efforts, and many learning and life cycle experiences. She also serves as Rav Ha Makhshir of our congregation, supervising kashrut. Her communal work includes service on the Executive Committee of the Baltimore Board of Rabbis, the Grant Review Committee for the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Fund of THE ASSOCIATED, and the Teacher Certification group of the Center for Jewish Education. Deborah received her rabbinic ordination, as well as a Master of Arts degree, from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York City where she also served on the Board of Overseers of the Rabbinical School. We look forward to celebrating with Rabbi Wechsler as a synagogue community.

Please honor Rabbi Wechlser by contributing to the Chizuk Amuno Tuition Assistance Fund, established in honor of this milestone. Funds donated will be distributed to the Stulman Center for Adult Education, Krieger Schechter Day School, Rosenbloom Religious School, and Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center to defray the cost of tuition for families experiencing financial hardship. The Florence and Charles Hoffberger Foundation has generously provided a $10,000 matching grant for this initiative. To make a donation, please call Laurel Freedman, Director of Congregational Advancement at 410/824-2054 or e-mail [email protected].

Shavuot

Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah, the content and meaning of Judaism for each of us and our world. It also marks the brighter and pleasant days of spring turning into summer, of a world turning fresh and green with life and beauty. At Chizuk Amuno Shavuot is a joyous festival of Torah study, creative expression, and happy celebration. Please refer to page 5 for information regarding our Tikkun Leil Shavuot and page 10 for the schedule of services.

Reflecting On Ten Years I arrived in Baltimore ten years ago this June. I was blonde, single, still in my twenties and I actually weighed what it said on my driver’s license. My, how things have changed! In some ways it seems like yesterday when I met Rabbi Zaiman in the cafeteria line at the Seminary, and in otherways it feels like many good years that I have been learning from Rabbi Shulman. Chizuk Amuno has taught me so much in these past ten years and it has been my privilege to also teach a great deal during this time. We have learned a lot about each other. My first Shabbat I announced that Shabbat Kiddush would be held in the Krieger Schechter Day School; I had no idea that there was an auditorium with the same name. That was the first of many, many adjustments to make and lessons to learn. I thank you

for your patience, for your kindness, for your friendship, for your criticism, for your participation, for your interest, for your love, and for all of the many gifts that you have shared with me over these ten years. In my first bulletin article I retold a story from Pirkei Avot about Rabbi Yossi ben Kisma who was walking by the way and happened upon a man. The man said to him, “Rabbi what city are you from?” The rabbi replied, “I come from a great city of sages and scholars.” Thereupon he said to the rabbi, “Rabbi if you would be willing to dwell with us in our place I would give you a million gold dinars and precious stones and pearls.” The rabbi replied, “Were you to give me all the silver and gold and precious stones in the world, I would still not live anywhere except a place of Torah.” What an extraordinary beginning I have had to my rabbinate at Chizuk Amuno. In the last ten years I have been blessed with “riches” whose value is far above rubies AND with a community that has truly been a place of Torah. I look forward to building on our beginning for many years to come.

Educational Programs

A Message from Our President Several years ago one of the Krieger Schechter Middle School teachers asked her 8th grade students to go to the place in the building that meant the most to them. Dr. Schneider described the outcome in a Shabbat newsletter. As you can imagine the students scattered throughout the complex. They went to various classrooms, the Middle School science room, the Beit Midrash, the gym, and even the nurse’s office. What I remember mostly clearly was that two students sat outside the Accounting Office! When asked why, they said that had been their first grade classroom, before a renovation turned it into an administrative office. This was their special place at the school, because it was where they first learned to read English and Hebrew. If you were asked to go to that place in Chizuk Amuno that means the most to you, where would you go? I am sure that many congregants would gravitate to where they sit for the High Holy Days whether in the Sanctuary, the Krieger Auditorium, or the Stulman Auditorium. Shabbat morning attendees might seek out their regular places in the Sanctuary. Still others might find their favorite chair in the Lerner Beit Midrash, while many teens would likely go to the Kolker Youth Lounge. And, I would guess there would be a sprinkling of people spread throughout the entire complex, for physical space has the ability to touch and affect us in many ways. Upon reflection, I suspect that many congregants would ultimately find their way to the Hoffberger Chapel. For many of us, daily minyan in the Chapel has been a source of strength and comfort as we have emerged from sitting shiva and begun to resume our place back among the synagogue community. It is in the Chapel that many of us have read Torah for the first time or learned to lead the congregation in prayer. For others the Chapel is that special place where they were married under the huppah, celebrated the naming of a daughter, or observed the brit milah of a son. For our young families it is the place they gather each Shabbat morning for Family Services, where children and parents alike experience the warmth and joy of Shabbat. If you have been in the Chapel lately, you may have noticed that your favorite pew is not as comfortable as it once was. The pews and the carpeting need replacing, and the entire room needs refreshing. The House Committee and the Board have been discussing this renewal project for more than a year. I am pleased to report that we will begin renovations in late spring or early summer. Since the Chapel is used not only for daily minyan but also by our schools during the week and for Family Shabbat Services, we have decided to remove the pews and replace them with “pew chairs.” This will allow us to make better use of this sacred space. Plans will be on display at the Annual Meeting on June 11. Among all my memories of times in the Chapel, one occurred almost exactly ten years ago. The Board of Trustees gathered there for Rabbi Deborah Wechsler’s formal interview. I remember that she gave a D’var Torah and then answered a wide variety of questions. Throughout, she demonstrated her skill as a teacher, her commitment to Conservative Judaism, and her quick and wonderful sense of humor. At the end of this month on the second day of Shavuot, Shabbat, May 30, we will honor her on her 10th anniversary as our rabbi. It will be a wonderful day and I urge you to make plans to attend.

Passover necessities including candy bars, lollipops, and bubble gum were included in the package this year along with some wonderful guidelines from Rabbi Wechsler about getting dorm rooms ready for Passover. We hope our students happily munched their way through Passover and enjoyed the connection to home and shul. As a reminder, if you are a high school student planning to visit college campuses in the near future, we have many Chizuk Amuno college students who can meet you at the schools listed and show you around or talk with you about Jewish life on campus and anything else you want to know.
