Message from our President
It has been fewer than 90 days since I’ve had the blessing of taking office as your President on June 1. In between
summer vacations and board meetings, our Clergy, staff, board and many congregants have been hard at work preparing
for our High Holy Days and the year ahead as well as addressing the daily challenges that are ever present.

Staffing
Let me begin by welcoming new staff members as well as congratulating those who have been promoted. First, please
join me in welcoming Juliane McLellan as the Diane Trust Center Early Education Program Administrator. Juliane
earned a BS in Child Development from the University of Maine in Orono and a MS in Early Childhood Education
from Wheelock College in Boston. She has been an independent consultant since 2002 and is currently teaching a
course in Early Education as an adjunct faculty member at Andover College. In addition to her consulting, Juliane was
an accreditation consultant for the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, a health care
teacher, an assessor for the National Association for the Education of Young Children and an Education Specialist for
the Mid-Coast Resource Development Center. As we evaluated ARS and TCEE during our search process, the need to
integrate these two fine schools and consolidate resources became evident and the opportunity to effect change timely. As a result, I am very
happy to report that Shari Churwin’s role as Director of Education has been expanded to include oversight of not only ARS, but the early
education center as well. This fits in beautifully with our short and long range plans and will be a key to our success.

I am also very pleased to congratulate David Brody on officially becoming our Executive Director. David has a law degree from Suffolk
University Law School and recently passed his bar exam. He also has a BA in Political Science from George Washington University with a
minor in Religion. David has been with us for almost two years, most recently as the Acting Director. As reported in our last Tidings, please join
with me in welcoming our new Pararabbinic Fellow, Philip Bressler. Phil has a BA in Jewish, Islamic and Near Eastern Studies from Washington
University in St. Louis. As a Fellow, Phil will be providing administrative support to our clergy, teaching, leading services and organizing
additional programs for TOS.

Membership and High Holy Day Preparation

It brings me such great joy to be able to again offer, on behalf of the entire board, free High Holy tickets for your guests. Tickets to outside guests
will be raised from $18 to $36. I am very thankful that we once again have a capable and hard working set of co-chairs leading the Circle of
Giving annual appeal and your participation at any level is critically important.

Programming
We have planned for an exciting year ahead. This year we will be expanding our Shabbat programming on Saturday mornings with Shabbat
B’Yachad. The second Saturday of each month will have a morning of programming for the whole family including: Mindfulness and
Meditation (led by Rabbi Franken and Donna Rubenoff), Torah Study, Youth Education, Family and Traditional Services, with a Community
Kiddush to conclude. On the first Friday of each month, Shabbat Rishon is already attracting great speakers including Susan Helfgott Whitman
who is scheduled for November 5th. And thanks to Phil Bressler and David Brody, our young professionals group, haverim, has grown with
expanded programming. We are also proud to welcome back our now 8 person strong volunteer band who makes our Judaism in Motion
Services so engaging. With Cantor Schloss and David Sparr they do
credit to a long tradition of innovative and stirring musical worship at

D uring the hot summer months I have been
working with the clergy on shaping and
articulating a vision of the future of education
at Temple Ohabei Shalom. We are continually
striving to create an atmosphere where
children of all ages can learn to embrace and
love Judaism. Offering unique experiences in
a nurturing environment that enables students
to feel connected to their home at Ohabei
Shalom and the greater the Jewish community and grow up
embracing a life rich with Jewish values, self-esteem and
humanity.
As the Trust Center for Early Education (TCEE) prepares to open
its doors for its second year, we are working hard to fulfill our
dreams of creating a seamless educational program for children
of all ages making sure that our many educational programs
share common goals and objectives. One way to make this a
reality is for both programs to share key staff and teachers
which will further our mission in new and bold ways. As they
say, it takes a shtetl to raise children these days. We have
reconfigured the overall structure of the education program
staff to help us make our vision a reality. We are blessed that
our synagogue staff is growing. I am pleased to welcome
Juliane McLellan, Trust Center Program Administrator, Stacy
Weinberg, Youth Educator, and Micah Shapiro, Education
Programs Coordinator, to the team. (More information can be
found on page 18). Please help us welcome them all to the TOS
family.
The pilot year of the new ARS 2.0 program was a success in
many ways and we have learned much to carry us forward into
the new year. A religious school education in isolation neither
excites the mind nor infuses life with meaning. For our
students and families with school age children, our plans
for the coming year include a robust selection of
experiential offerings (Shabbat services, retreats, shul-ins,
mitzvah projects, youth group events, etc.) to complement
our ARS classroom learning time. These additional Jewish
experiences are an integral part of our program, offering
choice, variety and living-Judaism to our families.
Our new hands-on ARS curriculum is based on the three
pillars of Jewish life – Torah, Avodah (prayer) and G’milut
Chasadim (deeds of loving kindness). Torah is the totality
of Jewish tradition – Jewish learning through our stories,
heritage, literature values and ethics. Avodah is the heart
of Jewish life, helping us connect to our people, our God
and our community. Prayer is also central to our life-cycle
events and holiday observance; it is the cornerstone of our
daily lives as Jews. G’milut Chasadim is the actualization
of Jewish values – the way we interact with the world and
those around us. These values guide us to be better, do
better, live better and to influence those around us to do
the same.
There are so many ways to express yourself and participate
in the Ohabei Shalom Community. All will be grateful for
having shared the journey with us. The chart below
illustrates how the entire Ohabei Shalom community views
the ARS classroom learning as just one part of parents’
involvement in the TOS community. Families are
encouraged to join the congregation for weekly Shabbat
services and holiday celebrations, as well as participate in
the many programs that are offered to the congregation. I
am confident that our future together will be exciting and
fulfilling and look forward to being your partner as our
congregation, you and your family take the next steps along
the path of our collective Jewish journey.

Dear Fellow Congregant,

We are writing you to consider getting involved with our Brotherhood, the Men’s Club at Temple Ohabei Shalom.

Brotherhood has monthly meetings, our guest speakers are outstanding, dinner is always served, and there is time to schmooze. Many members have been involved for years and it
has enriched our lives and our connection to our Temple. Many of us now know people that we did not know before and just as importantly, they know us.

We enjoy our meetings, get to see old friends and meet new ones, and we don’t have to impress anyone with our job titles or business success. We just get to relate to people that
we truly enjoy spending time with. Involvement with our membership, programs, and Tikkun committees will further enrich your experience.

In addition to an increased connection to our Temple, being in the Brotherhood helps serve the greater good of Ohabei Shalom. Our annual Breakfast with the Brothers is a big hit,

Sisterhood News
Zita Samuels
The Sisterhood of Ohabei Shalom extends all good wishes for a New Year of health and blessing to the entire synagogue community as well as to your extended personal
communities of family and friends.
Before you stop reading this article, please take out your planner and mark Monday, September 13, 7:00 PM, for our annual Welcome Coffee (first night of junior and senior high
school). Our guest speaker will be humorist Carol Bortman, EdD, who will wittily address the topic: Sex and Seniors: Upside and Downside. We look forward to a welcome by the
clergy and President Weintraub. This program is available to all women of Ohabei Shalom. Thanks to Dottie Berman for planning what promises to be a fun and interesting
evening.

Hopefully you have all received our Sisterhood membership mailing that included our brochure and listing of our events for the 2010-2011 shul year. We urge all the women of
TOS to become Sisterhood members, and to join us as we play together and work together in support of our synagogue. You are invited to attend any of our events as guests
before joining! Thanks to all those who helped to get out the mailing.
The leaders of Sisterhood and Brotherhood will be honored on Wednesday, September 22, at the Erev Sukkot service and we hope that many of you will be able to attend.
For your advance planning, we will be participating in Mitzvah Day with the Ansin Religious School on the morning of Sunday , October 24. Our Gift Shop will hold an advance
Chanukah sale with a good selection of merchandise at reduced prices. On October 27 we will have our annual a potluck dinner and movie night with Brotherhood. Sisters will
bring dairy and pareve dishes and the Brothers will provide drinks, dessert and popcorn. The movie will be A Stranger Among Us starring Melanie Griffith as a New York police
officer who solves a crime in the Hasidic Jewish community.
We have a strong and active Sisterhood Leadership Committee that works hard to plan events and lead our activities. Ita N. Wiener will now be representing us on the Board of
Trustees. We have a number of active small groups and welcome suggestions for others. Please contact Amy Hozid 617-566-1939 or ahozid@gmail.com about the Book Group.
Also, watch Temple E-mail for book group dates and books. Rhonda Solomon is coordinating the Sisterhood Readers for the preschool. If you want to read to the children, please
contact Rhonda 617-773-3549 or seabirdshrs@verizon.net. Ita N. Wiener will be leading a series of Jewish Studies seminars on six Thursdays at TOS beginning on October 7.
We are also hoping to organize a number of "field trips" to places of interest in and around Boston.

One of these trips will be attendance at Limmud Boston, a celebration of Jewish culture and identity that will include Havdalah, study sessions, entertainment, dance, exhibitor sales
and more on Saturday evening October 30 and Sunday October 31. The event will take place at Temple Israel and will cost $36 per participant. Please visit
www.LimmudBoston.org for more information. I will post further notices in the November/December Tidings and in the TOS e-mail bulletin.

Welcome to our New Staff
Congratulations David Brody!!
Congratulations to David Brody on
assuming the role of Executive Director.
David is a local boy, growing up in Newton
who attended George Washington
University where he majored in Political
Science with a focus on Israeli politics, and
a minor in religion. He returned to Boston
to attend Law School at Suffolk University.

Welcome Micah Shapiro!!
Micah Shapiro is an educator, musician, performer, and
administrator who holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from
McGill University. This past year, Micah was a song leader and
music teacher at both Gun Hill Child Care in the Bronx, NY and
Public School 145 in Harlem, NY. Prior to those positions, he
served as Executive Assistant to the Executive Director of The
Jewish Early Childhood Education Initiative in Manhattan and
supported a range of staff as the Administrative Coordinator at
Tufts University’s Hillel Center.
As a child, Micah attended the day school Cohen Hillel
Academy and was very active at the Jewish Community Center.
Micah’s teenage years at Camp Yavneh had an even more
pronounced influence on his Jewish identity. He credits the
camp’s pluralistic, informal, energy-filled atmosphere for
facilitating his realization that Judaism could be cool. After his
time as a camper there, Micah went on to serve as the tennis
coach and counselor for the teenage groups. In addition to his
Jewish school and camp experiences, Micah has been to Israel
fourteen times, remaining close with the many family members
he has in that country.
At Marblehead High School, Micah was captain of the varsity
basketball team, and a key member of the musical productions
and varsity tennis team. At McGill University, Micah’s liberal
arts studies were matched by his ambitious performance life.
Micah won three awards for best vocal percussionist at the
regional acappella competition, toured the country with the
popular acoustic rock band Throwback, was co-founder of a
popular funk band, and took part in One Foot Productions
musical, “Cabaret”. He is currently performing with his music
comedy duo at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.
