Shalom and Todah Rabbi Stephen Grundfast
This June bulletin article marks my final message to
you as rabbi of Beth El Congregation. As of this summer
I will have served the congregation for thirteen years, so,
I guess, you could call this my Bar Mitzvah year in
Akron.
When one celebrates their Bar or Bat Mitzvah they receive presents
from relatives and friends. I have received many presents from you over
these past thirteen years and now it’s my turn to say Todah Rabbah, thank
you, for allowing me to serve you and the Akron Jewish community.
With your support, I was able to create new and innovative
programming for the synagogue. We tried a few things that were very
successful while others had a very short shelf life. I’ll always appreciate
your encouragement as we traveled together on behalf of the congregation
and the Jewish people.
I am proud to have been an integral part in our successful move to the
Schultz campus and becoming part of the Shaw
A Month of Celebrations
Dr. Harvey Sterns, President
This month there are three major events honoring members of the Beth El family. Please join the Akron community in honoring them.
On Sunday, June 11 at 6:00 PM will be the Retirement Event for Rabbi Stephen Grundfast in recognition of his 13 years as spiritual leader of Beth El. We will honor Rabbi and Judy for their dedicated service to Beth El and the Akron Jewish Community. A special aspect of this event is the entertainment by the nationally renowned Jewish musical group, Safam. Reservations were requested for late May but you can still contact the Beth El office. Please make every effort to join us for this special event.
On Thursday, June 15 at 5:30 PM the Jewish Community Board of Akron is having a tribute event to honor Marcia and Rochelle Stone. Marcia was a teacher at Case Elementary and later a teacher of children with emotional and social challenges or

disabilities for fourteen years. She was a Board Member of Beth El, President of Na’Amat (Pioneer Women), and a life member of Hadassah and B’nai B’rith Women. She and her husband Don are well known for their philanthropic generosity to the Akron community.
Rochelle Stone is one of the most well-known Akron volunteers. She was the first female president of Beth El, as well as President of the Akron chapter of Hadassah, Jewish Family Service, Women’s Board of Children’s Hospital and Mobile Meals. Rochelle was also on the boards of the Jewish Community Board of Akron, Interfaith Caregivers, The Lippman School, Akron Interfaith Council, and supported many other community organizations. Rochelle and her husband, Dr. Robert Stone, are both highly regarded for their service to Beth El and the Akron community-at-large. For reservations, call 330-835-0005.
On Thursday, June 29, 2017 at 7:00 pm, Israel Bonds, will host a tribute event honoring Sarah Greenblatt at a dessert reception She is being recognized for her years of service as a dedicated teacher to so many students in the Akron Jewish community from kindergarten through adulthood, Sarah has been teaching Hebrew and Judaics at the Lippman School for 39 years, formerly serving as the Director of Hebrew and Judaics for 34 years. Sarah has written and directed the Lippman School musical for 35 years. Her teaching also includes b’nai mitzvah training. Each bar and bat mitzvah is a true simcha for her, as she has now proudly trained countless students at all three Akron area synagogues. She is an active lay leader and member of the staff at Beth El Congregation, serves on the Beth El board, president of Beth El Sisterhood, led the Ritual Committee, serves as Gabbai, and was on the search committee for Beth El’s new clergy. As a member of the Women’s Chevra Kadisha, Sarah is part of a dedicated group of women that perform this important mitzvah of caring for the recently deceased prior to burial. She has travelled to Israel 28 times, leading 19 trips with students, and lived there on a kibbutz and in Jerusalem. Sarah has seen firsthand how Israel Bonds strengthen every aspect of Israel’s economy. This event is especially meaningful to Sarah because it not only supports Israel, it is a legacy from her grandparents, Simon and Dena Bricklin, of blessed memory, who were honored by Israel Bonds in Philadelphia fifty years ago. Sarah is married to Erwin Greenblatt. Call 216-454-0180 for reservations.
The month of June is clearly a time to celebrate all of these dedicated individuals who have served Beth El and Akron with their service. What great models for all of us to emulate.
My best,
Harvey

Notes
Our busy school year has come to a
close! Some of our highlights have
included learning with Shay, our
Shaliach, spending time being
gastronomically Jewish with holiday
foods, and working on Shabbat
morning prayers. Our Sunday School
Classes also had a great year learning
about the Jewish holidays though art,
stories, and songs. Many thanks to
Andrea Rabinovitz, Morgan
Domokos, Leora Cohen, Sarah
Greenblatt, and Judy Grundfast for all
they did during the year! Next year
will bring new excitement and
opportunities for collaboration with
the greater community.

kindergarten through adulthood, Sarah has been

School musical for 35 years. Her teaching also
includes b’nai mitzvah training. Each bar and

She has travelled to Israel 28 times, leading 19

JCC. May the relationship grow ever stronger over the years.
While I wish I could personally thank each of you, there are a few people that stand out. The first is
Hazzan Stein who was the best cantor a rabbi could ask for. He was so wonderful that we decided to become
in-laws. Well, I guess that one was done for us.
I’ll remember fondly working with Barbara Good and how dedicated she was to the congregation and to me.
Thank you to the presidents of Beth El whom I worked with over the years. Each had a unique style of
leadership but what they had in common was and is their love of Beth El. Thank you to Randy Cohen, Alice
Schneider, Steve Newman, Gary Rosen, Andrea Steinberger, Marty Oppenheimer and our current president,
Harvey Sterns. May they go from strength to strength.
A warm thank you to Laurel Gress for her skills that enhance the sacredness of our Shabbat and Yom
Tov Services.
And finally, a very special and heartfelt Todah Rabbah to Erin Katz Ford for her enthusiastic and
passionate work she does every day for our congregation. I truly enjoyed the time that we worked together.
She was my sounding board, compassionate critic and partner in serving the members of the congregation.
She is truly a one of a kind and Beth El is fortunate to have her as an integral part of the community.
Thank you for the unqualified love and support from my family throughout the years of my rabbinate.
Judy has been with me from the beginning, first as a struggling rabbinical student and then through almost
four decades in the pulpit. None of this would have been possible without her.
To my children, Rachel and Justin and Joe and Deana, and grandsons, Gavi and Elliot – you enrich my
life beyond measure.
May God continue to send blessings upon each of you and may the future be bright for Beth El and the
Akron Jewish community.
Shalom and Blessings,
Rabbi Stephen Grundfast
