♦ We expanded our Shabbat Rishon to now include a
communal meal in conjunction with our growing Tot Shabbat
♦ We reinstituted a dynamic Torah study experience which

Summer 2010/Av - Elul 5770
♦ We have nearly completed
construction of
our building addition and refurbished
our Chapel, Administrative offices,
lounges, and Penn-Spero Hall; and
♦ We have updated our bylaws for
the first time in a generation.
In addition, we have managed to celebrate nearly
two dozen b’nai mitzvah; welcome more than half a
dozen new conversion students and Jews by Choice; and
experience many powerful ritual moments from Gospel
Shabbat honoring Spencer Gould to Shabbat Rishon
featuring Izelldin Abuelaish to our deeply moving
Confirmation and Adult B’not Mitzvah ceremonies.
In the coming year, we can look forward to still
greater things. With your help, we will introduce
“Synaplex Shabbat” in which there will be a multitude of
opportunities to connect with Judaism and each other on
Shabbat—through family experiences, yoga, meditation,
Torah study, Tefila, and community-wide breakfasts and
kiddush lunches. With your help as well, there will be a
renewed emphasis on outreach, membership, marketing
and community organizing.
Each of us knows what a warm, wonderful,
friendly, fun, curious and spiritual community we are.
Now it is upon us to let the secret be known. Invite your
friends and neighbors to join us some time. They will
thank you and you will be strengthening our community
and the Jewish people at the same time!
Last week we read the Torah portion recounting
the drama of the 12 scouts who returned from exploring
the Promised Land with two diametrically opposite
reports. Two of the scouts, Joshua and Caleb, reported
that the land was replete with milk and honey and full of
promise and possibility. The other ten warned that it was
well-fortified and populated by giant people alongside
whom we would have appeared like grasshoppers. The
effect was to effectuate a popular crisis of confidence,
dividing the people from one another and rupturing their
faith.
Our own future is much as Joshua and Caleb saw
theirs. It is full of promise and possibility. May each of us
have faith and trust in that vision, and may each of us do
our part to transform it
into reality.
A Message From the Cantor
Cantor Randall Schloss
If you were in our Sanctuary
celebrating Shabbat on the morning of
June 5th, you were lucky to be part of
something very special. Yes, it was
Shabbat morning, which is already
something to celebrate. And yes, there
was a Bat Mitzvah, which is doubly
something for our community to
celebrate. But this was not the typical Bat
Mitzvah of a thirteen year-old girl. That
morning, after nearly two years of
dedicated preparation and study, six
women in our community became B’not Mitzvah.
Certainly it was special moment for the six women who
stood on the Bima that morning. Each of these women is unique
and came to the class with her own experiences, Judaic skills,
learning style, etc. But on that morning they all read Torah and
Haftarah, led part of the service, taught the congregation through
insights into the liturgy and divrei Torah. And they came together
to offer a class gift to our congregation: they donated money to
have a sofer (scribe) evaluate our Torah scrolls, the first step
towards restoring those most valuable possessions of our
community.
In her D’var Torah on the story of the spies sent to scout
the land of Canaan, Ronny Sydney wondered, “What if we (the six
b’not mitzvah) had been among the scouts? Would things have
been different? Diane Rosen would have brought her compassionate
social work skills and showed how everyone could get along and
support each other. Hilda Lopez would certainly understand how
to bridge a cultural gap and how to be strengthened by our
differences. Donna Rubenoff could teach us all how to relax and
meditate and also how to organize everyone. Cassandra
Warshowsky would bring her wonderful strength and energy to pull
everyone together. Shelley Schwartz would have made sure that
the message was on point and well publicized. I would have used
my persuasive skills to make sure that we were all in agreement.”
Clearly the class gift is not the only gift that these women
offer to our congregation. After the service, countless members of
our congregation told me how moving they found the service to be:
not only for the six women, but for our entire community. These
women are examples of how we can each be dedicated to Judaism
and to our community, and how we can benefit personally and as a
sacred community. And what if more of us were like these women?
How much might we enhance our own lives as well as that of
Ohabei Shalom? Kein Y’hi Ratzon. May it be God’s will.

President’s Remarks:
Annual Meeting
June 1, 2010

Good evening everyone. I am very honored and excited to serve as your next President.
First, let me on behalf of the entire congregation give our sincerest thanks and accolades to Jesse and to all board members whose terms have now
been completed. We all owe you a deep debt of gratitude for not only leading us through some very challenging times, but also by leaving us with a
wonderful and positive foundation upon which to build. I’d also like to thank Rabbi Franken, Cantor Schloss and the entire staff for being there not
only for me, but for the entire congregation.

As I sat home Saturday evening wondering what I would say tonight, I finally drew my inspiration from our mission statement and how it relates to
last week’s Parashah, Beha’a lotcha. In particular, I want to focus on one word in our mission statement, “sustaining.” - sustaining Jewish lives
through joyful worship, lifelong learning, and repair of the world in word and deed.

In this Torah portion, the final journey, with all its challenges, begins for the Jewish people on their trek through the Sinai desert to their ultimate destination – the Land of Israel.
Some want to go back to the good old times in Egypt, some want to stay and pray for more miracles in Sinai, but Moses understands that in order to sustain the Jewish people,
they must move forward. Similarly, so must we.

While the Israelites did not know exactly what lay ahead, we certainly have a much better idea. Jesse has elaborated on many of the wonderful accomplishments this past year. I’d
like to describe a few of the exciting opportunities that will help sustain our future.
1. First is membership. We have a great membership committee that has met throughout this past year and recently attended a URJ workshop. In two weeks, we will meet
again with the entire board and engage in a ½ day strategic leadership workshop for membership and outreach. We need your help to be ambassadors of TOS and to
continually engage each other and the entire community.
2. Next is our beautiful facility, from which 25% of our income is derived. With our newly renovated facilities, thanks to generous congregants, including in large part Shirley
Spero, and a bit of marketing, Ed Jacobs has made a commitment to increase this by an even larger amount.
3. Another opportunity is Fundraising, which I envision to be much more structured and integrative and to better involve the larger Jewish and philanthropic community.
4. Programming will continue to grow under the leadership of Shellee Robins. With just a little bit more of your help, we can have fun, meaningful and revenue generating
programs.
5. Perhaps the boldest initiative and largest area of growth is in the Project for Our Future and the Trust Center for Early Education. This has been an unbelievable effort by so
many people and we should all be so very proud and thankful for these efforts. It is truly the future of our synagogue. In only our second year, we are expecting an
operating surplus before debt service. And with the good work of the Gala Committee led by Laura Trust, we are targeted to have a successful event on November 4 and
reduce our debt significantly.

With all these opportunities, we also have our challenges. While they don’t compare to those of the Israelites before us, they nonetheless exist and we must not let setbacks be
holdbacks. As we sit here this evening, we are a much smaller congregation than we were. Only 33% of our expenses are covered by our basic membership dues. The rest come
mainly from rentals, fundraising, and school tuition. While the focus on this coming year will be on revenue generation, we must also structurally address what a congregation of
our size really looks like. So, how do we address these challenges including our financial sustainability?

During their desert journey, when the Jewish people complained bitterly about their diet of manna, Moses asked God, “Why have you laid the burden of all of this on me?”
Moses is then counseled to appoint seventy experienced elders and officers to share leadership. We have likewise been counseled to elect a board of trustees and officers. This is
a most sacred duty and one that I pledge to act in the best interests of you, our congregation in sustaining our future.

Finally, let me speak to your obligation as a Jew and as a member of this Congregation. During their journey in the desert, the Israelites focus was on preparation for entry into
Israel. As one Rabbi commented, the Jews had to be counted, organized, and given their individual responsibilities. Destined to be spread out among all the tribes, they would
be the cohesive glue that unified every corner of the land. Israel has truly been served and built by those who came with a sense of mission, purpose, happiness and expectation.
They were passionate. Passivity was not an option.

We Jews are a people of covenants. In order for us to truly sustain our mission, Jewish lives through joyful worship, lifelong learning, and repair of the world in word and deed, I
ask that you pledge your passion and be counted to be the cohesive glue that unifies this congregation and our larger community. Thank you.

S’lichot 2010 - Saturday, September 4; 7:00PM

Meditations and Reflections in Word, Song and Movement.
Join Rabbi Franken and Cantor Schloss for an evening of exploration of the relationships and issues
between human beings and God, and of the High Holiday themes of repentance, atonement, self-
examination, confession, pardon and renewal through the lenses of music, dance and poetry.

 High Holidays 5771
Friends and Family Program

Dear Congregants:

As a result of the overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s ticket policy, Temple Ohabei Shalom will again offer members the opportunity to
invite family and friends to High Holy Days services at no cost. This initiative is a thank-you gift to the congregation for continued support in a
difficult economic climate, and at the same time it allows us to fill our beautiful Sanctuary and give prospective members a chance to see and hear
our dynamic clergy on the bimah. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to spread the word about Temple Ohabei Shalom!

If you would like tickets, in addition to the ones that normally come with your membership, please fill out this form and return it to Temple Ohabei
Shalom, 1187 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02446, ATT: High Holy Day Tickets. You may also e-mail the information to office@ohabei.org.
Checks should be made payable to Temple Ohabei Shalom. Tickets will be available at the synagogue office during normal business hours. If they
are not picked up by August 16, they will be mailed. Requests received after August 16 will be available for pickup 30 minutes before each ticketed
service.

The friends-and-family tickets program is just one of several steps being taken this year to increase Temple Ohabei Shalom’s reach in the greater
Boston community. We will also be offering High Holy Days tickets to the general public for the nominal charge of $36. We discovered last year
that offering deeply discounted tickets to non-members in the community is a great way to increase awareness of Temple Ohabei Shalom. If you
would like to donate to the Temple to help support these programs, your gift would be deeply appreciated. Please include your contribution of any
amount when you send in the form for additional tickets. Thank you for helping to make these innovative programs a success.

Sincerely,

David Brody
Executive Director

Welcome Philip Bressler, TOS
Pararabbinic Fellow!
Philip Bressler is Temple Ohabei
Shalom’s Pararabbinic Fellow
for 2010-2011. Phil grew up in
Minnetonka, Minnesota where
his passion for Judaism was
sparked through active
involvement in NFTY and
summers spent at URJ Olin-Sang
Ruby Union Institute (OSRUI).
He attended Washington
University in St. Louis, where he
received his B.A. in Jewish,
Islamic, and Near Eastern Studies
in 2006. As an undergraduate,
Phil planned and led Jewish
activities on campus through Hillel and the Alpha Epsilon
Pi fraternity. After graduation he spent time as regional
youth advisor for NFTY’s Michigan region, led music
programming at Temple Israel Minneapolis’ Camp TEKO,
and attended Brandeis University’s program in Near
Eastern and Judaic Studies. Phil’s life goal has always been
to become a Rabbi and he will be applying to rabbinical
schools this fall. As the Pararabbinic Fellow at Temple
Ohabei Shalom, Phil will not only be providing
administrative support to our clergy, but will also be
teaching, leading services, and organizing additional
programs to benefit the TOS community. Please join us in
welcoming Phil to the Ohabei Shalom community.

A Letter from Jason Kriger

Mazel Tov
Dear Clergy, Officers, Trustees and
Staff of Temple Ohabei Shalom, Jason!
To start, I would like to say thank you.
Seven years ago, you took me (and Scott Levine) in and made The Temple Ohabei Shalom
us a part of your community. You gave us a very generous
opportunity to start a business, and at the same time help serve Clergy, Staff and
the needs of the TOS community. Community would like to
Two and a half years into this experience I started teaching at extend our best wishes for a
A.R.S. I felt that if I were going forward here, I needed to be a wonderful future on your new
real part of what’s going on. I can’t tell you what a good
decision that was, and how much I have treasured teaching and
endeavor!
spending time with all the great students, teachers and parents You will be missed!
with whom I have had the pleasure to work.

The last five years have also given me a chance to hone my

skills in the kitchen. I am a far better cook now than I was in
2003. The Temple events over the years have allowed me to
practice, experiment, and learn. As time went by, my cooking
improved as well as my confidence, I saw more opportunities
come my way and was able to be a part of so many congregant
and committee celebrations.
This past November, new opportunities arose. I started
producing wholesale food items for Star Market/Shaws and my
business began to grow. This opportunity has morphed into
something I could not have predicted. As my business has
grown this year, it has become clear to me that the Temple’s
Kitchen is no longer sufficient for the demands of my business
and that I no longer have the time to operate Kriger’s Catering.
It is with much sadness that I need to inform you of my decision
to not renew my contract with the Temple for the next fiscal
year. My business will require more refrigerator/freezer space,
work space, delivery trucks, etc. I look forward to completing
the next few weeks at the Temple and will be moving out of the
kitchen by June 30, 2010.
Know any Caterer in need of
kitchen space?
Contact the TOS Office at 617-277-6610
or office@Ohabei.org for more
information on using TOS’s large and fully
equipped kitchen.
It saddens me to be leaving. Temple Ohabei
Shalom and its people have become a part of me,
and I will always remember the wonderful time I
have spent as a member of this community. I
would like to thank you again for the opportunity,
for putting up with my shpilkus, allowing me to
breathe, grow and participate in the life of TOS
over the past seven years.
With my gratitude and wish for a strong future for
TOS,
Jason Kriger
