RABBI’S REPORT

Congregation Shaaray Tefila is delighted to introduce our new Student Rabbi, Joey Glick, who began Zooming services with us in June! We are all eager to meet him in person as our regular synagogue services resume.

Joey Glick is a proud native of Pittsburgh, PA, an alum of Colorado College and the Graduate Theological Union, and a current 4th-year rabbinical student at Hebrew College. Before starting rabbinical school, Joey served as the

assistant chaplain and director of Jewish life at Vassar College. Joey is passionate about inter-religious dialogue, old time fiddle music, and his hometown Pittsburgh Pirates. Let’s all give Joey our great Shaaray Tefila welcome as he comes onboard.

Welcome Student Rabbi Joey!!

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Thanks to our new student rabbi, Joey Glick,

for his enjoyable and interesting Zoom

Kabbalat Shabbat sessions on Friday

evenings at 6:30 PM. We plan to continue

these sessions on Zoom for now as they

provide an alternative service for those who

are not ready for in-person services and also

give Joey and the extended congregation a

chance to interact and experiment with

different forms of Jewish spiritual

community.

We were pleased to have a minyan for our

first live Saturday morning service, which

went smoothly and generated some lively

Torah discussion. Thanks to all for

following the rules and social distancing.

Thanks also to Betsey for putting up signs

and to Kristi for cleaning and disinfecting.

I found it ironic that the ribbon that we used

last year during high holidays to block off

2

seats and encourage people to sit closer

together is now being used to keep people

further apart. My hope is that, although we

are physically more distant, we remain close

together emotionally and spiritually and

continue to engage each other with prayer,

song and the exchange of ideas that Torah

can bring forth from us.

Thanks to Larry Greenburg, Peter Kudan

and Herb Levin for helping move furniture

on our lower level to make way for our new

tenants. BOCES has started their move and

will be officially here as of July 1. Please

refrain from using the basement facilities

unless absolutely necessary so as to

minimize disruption of their program and

facilities. Of course, our library remains

open and available to all congregants.

Dr. Mark Hoffman

President

HOUSE MANAGER’S REPORT

We have had several newsworthy items to

report on over the past several months.

We have finished replacing our inefficient

shul lighting with cost-saving LED lights.

3

We got an excellent discount on materials

and labor, and you will see a notable

difference when we return to normal

activities.

We will be renting our lower level to

BOCES in the coming year as a stream of

income and to make better use of our

beautiful facilities. Welcome BOCES!

Peter Kudan has volunteered to take over

several duties of building and property

management and has been a huge asset.

Thank you Peter!

We also had some tree damage at our

cemetery on May 29 as an F-1 Tornado hit

the area. We are coordinating with the

synagogue’s insurance and arranging for

tree clean-up and several headstone repairs.

We will keep you updated.

JULY 2020

July greetings Everyone, First, we hope all members and friends of Sisterhood and both Congregations are well and safe during these stressful, changing times. Welcome to our new Student Rabbi, Joey Glick. We have had two wonderful Friday evening ZOOM services with our special new student Rabbi. We look forward to meeting Joey at shul. (Bonnie) Sisterhood extends condolences to the Goldstein and Sheerer Families on the passing of Scott Sheerer (Dora’s (of blessed memory) son, Rose and Libby’s nephew, Nancy & Jerry’s Cousin.) Welcome back to more returning Snowbirds! You were missed!

Happy 90th Birthday to Sandra Smith in Hilton Head, South Carolina! Saturday, June 20th was the first service since early March and it was held in the upstairs large sanctuary. Thank you to Dr. Mark Hoffman and Kristi for the preparations for our health and safety. Each of you stay safe and healthy this summer as more “openings” continue. Healthy, Happy 4th of July! Our best to each of you.
