From The Clergy 

BHC’s Tree-Mend-Us 

Beginnings 

Over the last several years, BHC has been a leader among Baltimore 

Congregations in addressing environmental concerns. Caring for the Earth is 

a clear Jewish imperative drawn from the very foundation of our tradition. 

The Torah begins not with humanity, but with a story about the rest of 

Creation, teaching us that if humanity is to fulfill its potential “in the image 

of God,” we must have a world in which to do so. 

On Sunday, April 3, No o N, BHC will again lead the way as we partner with 

Bluewater Baltimore and TreeBaltimore in fortifying our city’s tree canopy, 

the part of the city that is shaded by trees. American Forests recommends 

that healthy cities need a 40% tree canopy. Baltimore’s current canopy is only 

about 27.4%. 

At the event we’re calling “Tree-Mend-Us Beginnings,” TreeBaltimore and 

Bluewater will provide us with 40 beautiful young trees to plant throughout 

our property. We will fill in existing lines on the Slade Avenue side as well as 

open spaces on Park Heights Avenue. 

My favorite part of the project will be the creation of a grove/sacred space 

that we can use for worship, educational gatherings and more. 

Since maintaining all those new trees will be significant work, we’re 

encouraging families and individuals to adopt a tree and commit to helping 

water and care for it over the next couple of years. More details on how to 

do that will follow, but if you’d like to be one of our caretakers, please let me 

know. 

“Tree-Mend-Us Beginnings” will also need lots of volunteers to get the 

planting done. Tools and materials will be provided, as well as lunch and 

babysitting! 

Also on April 3, TreeBaltimore and Bluewater Baltimore will have FREE 

trees available to anyone who wants to plant one at their home, as well as 

advice about how to do it. 

It’s going to be Tree-mend-us. 

• Please Let Us Know •

Due to hospital policy, clergy and Family Concerns Volunteers have no way of 

knowing you are in the hospital unless you or a family member inform us.

We Are One People 

A Message from the President 

Almost a year has passed since I was installed 

as President of BHC. It is amazing how quickly 

the time has flown. I realize that I am prouder 

today of our Congregation than I have ever 

been. 

It is remarkable how dedicated our 

membership is. I can truly say that whenever a need arises, 

Congregants have stepped up to address our concerns. Night of 

the Stars, Saturday, April 2, 8 p m, will prove to be a great success, 

not only financially, but in terms of participation. The committee 

meetings I have attended show how vibrant and dedicated our 

members are; you won’t want to miss this event! 

Annual Giving, so necessary to our Congregation, has been very 

successful this year. Not only do we have more Congregants giving 

than ever before, but a large percentage, recognizing our need, 

have increased the size of their gifts. This beneficence allows us 

to ensure that all who are in need receive Congregational services, 

especially our children. 

A new endeavor for BHC will be the opening of an infant care 

program, which was approved by the Board of Electors at its 

February meeting. The advisory committee, ably chaired by Past 

President Ed Perl, is working diligently to see that this program 

will live up to the excellence that members and non-members 

alike expect and demand. Many Congregants, learning of our 

plans, responded immediately with donations to cover all the costs 

incurred in opening the center. 

I have come to appreciate in my year as President that BHC is a 

family. Like all Jews, we have varying opinions on every issue, yet 

when the chips are down, our family gathers together to support 

each other. No wonder I am proud of our Congregation and proud 

to be its President.

PH Program Highlights 

Good Night Shabbat 

On February 26, more than 100 parents and 

children said “Good Night Shabbat.” 

It was the second time we held the special event for families 

with kindergarten-aged children and younger and it was another 

great success. 

Our theme was beach party, and we had snow cones, sand art, 

moonbounces, face painting and more. The fun and games was 

followed by a pizza dinner and a great Havdalah service led by Rabbi 

Sachs-Kohen and Cantorial Soloist Dave Berenhaus. 

Join us for the fun again on Saturday April 16, 5:30-7 p m at our 

third “Good Night Shabbat.” 

You won’t want to miss it!

To Our Beloved BHC Family, 

So many of you have written expressing the inadequacy of 

words at times such as that through which we are going right 

now. Similarly, we cannot at all find language suitable for 

conveying how much comfort we have drawn from the visits, 

notes and calls with which you have reached out to us in these 

past weeks. 

Losing Mitch so suddenly has been a tragedy and a trauma 

from which it is hard to imagine recovering. Nonetheless, we 

have begun the first, hesitant steps along that road, supported 

in great part by the encouragement and embrace of family 

and friends. To you who watched Mitch grow, who traveled 

with him through our three wonderful BHC schools and who 

celebrated with our family the several simchahs shared during 

our Baltimore years, including his Bar Mitzvah, we thank you 

for sharing our happy memories of his warmth, enthusiasm 

and loving kindness. You have returned these gifts to us in 

full and they reconnect us to sacred fragments of the years we 

spent there with him. While we may not be able to thank each 

of you individually, please know that each of you has been 

mal-akh, an angel of healing, as we rebuild our family life. 

May God bless you for your kindness to us. 

Love, 

Rachel, Rex, Jackie, Sarah and Nate 

Book Burial 

Rabbi Busch will accompany Religious School 7th grade students 

to our Belair Road Cemetery on Sunday, April 3, 9:45 a m, where he 

will lead them in a Genezia Ceremony. During the ceremony, old 

books and ritual objects that have been collected all year will be 

“laid to rest” with all the respect given to the burial of a person. 

BHC Congregants who have items for burial can drop them at the 

Temple Office by April 1. 

Historically, the Genezia was usually a room attached to the 

synagogue where books and ritual objects were buried when 

they wore out and could no longer be used in the normal ritual. 

Jewish people value learning as a highest priority and learning 

is symbolized by the study of books. We bestow respect on this 

primary source of knowledge during a book’s usable days and we 

show respect when it deteriorates beyond use at a Genezia, or Book 

Burial, ceremony. 

Coffee with Clergy at North Oaks 

BHC’s clergy will visit our North Oaks Congregants on Monday, 

April 11, 3 p m. 

Calling All High School Graduates 

We encourage you to join your friends on Friday, April 15, 6:15

Praying with Lior 

Join Family Concerns for the award-winning movie Praying with 

Lior, Sunday, May 1, 9:30 a m. All Congregants, including children 

in junior high and high school, are welcome to a free continental 

breakfast prior to watching this engrossing, wrenching and tender 

documentary film. RSVP to Carol J. Caplan, 410-764-1587, ext. 270, 

or carolcjca@comcast.net. 

Praying with Lior introduces Lior Liebling, also called “the little 

rebbe.” Lior has Down Syndrome, and has spent his entire life praying 

with utter abandon. Is he a “spiritual genius” or simply the vessel 

that contains everyone’s unfulfilled wishes and expectations? Lior 

lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit hover over the 

film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God, he’s also a burden, 

a best friend, an inspiration, and an embarrassment, depending on 

which family member is speaking. As Lior approaches Bar Mitzvah, 

the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony, different characters provide 

a window into life spent “praying with Lior.” The movie poses 

difficult questions such as what is “disability” and who really talks 

to God? Told with intimacy and humor, this “is a family story, a 

triumph story, a grief story, a divinely-inspired story.” 

Yom HaShoah Commemoration

Baltimore Jewish Council and Th e as s o c i aT e d :

Yom HaAtzma’ut Quick Fact 

Many Jewish Americans celebrate Israel’s 

independence on Yom HaAtzma’ut. It 

commemorates when David Ben-Gurion, 

who was Israel’s first prime minister, 

publicly read the Israel’s Declaration 

of Independence on May 14, 1948. 

According to the Jewish calendar, this was the fifth day of Iyar, the 

eighth month of the civil year, in the year 5708. Celebrations will 

take place in many Jewish organizations throughout the United 

States on Tuesday, May 10.

Carol J. Caplan Service and Commitment 

Award Honorees 

Join us as we celebrate with award co-recipients Sally Palmbaum 

and Mose Ottenheimer, 2nd, on Friday, May 6, 5 p m, at BHC’s 

Annual Meeting. 

On any given day, weekday or 

weekend, you’ll find Sally Palmbaum at 

BHC. As Assistant to BHC’s Executive 

Director, Jo Ann Windman, Sally works 

hard for our Congregation. As Jo Ann 

states, “Sally handles her workload 

with amazing ease. One of the reasons 

I accepted this position was knowing 

Sally would be by my side, for which I 

am most grateful.” But Sally isn’t just a 

paid employee. She is a dedicated 

volunteer and a life-long member of BHC. Sixty-five years to be 

exact. As she states, “I was born into it.” 

Although Sally was confirmed at BHC, there was a time in Sally’s 

life when she moved away from religion. It was her nephew’s 

commitment to becoming a rabbi, that motivated Sally to really 

become involved again twelve years ago. That decision changed 

her. 

Suffering throughout her life from an eating disorder and 

depression, Sally found acceptance at BHC. “I really found my true 

self here. BHC accepted me for who I am. They liked me even when I 

was fat. They didn’t care.” Sally laughed as she made that statement, 

as if it didn’t have any meaning to her. But it did. That acceptance 

helped her to change her life and to overcome tremendous personal 

obstacles to become the woman she is today. 

Sally is an incredible person with integrity and an unbelievable 

dedication. She’s served as a member of the Board of Electors, Day 

School Board, Sisterhood Board, and co-chaired Yom Mitzvah as well 

as the Worship Committee. As an adult she studied hard, attending 

Torah Talk, Sisterhood Study Classes, took a Hebrew refresher 

course, a Trope class and became an Adult Bat Mitzvah in 2000. 

Besides her involvement with BHC, there are three passions 

that Sally is committed to: family, feeding the hungry and animals. 

Sally lights up when she talks about her great-nephew, the rabbi’s 

son, Noah, the “Passover Baby” featured on page 5. Sally is equally 

committed to contributing to the Maryland SPCA, helping Our 

Daily Bread and coordinating the knitting of baby blankets for Sinai 

Hospital. In addtion, Sally was a dedicated volunteer for 15 years at 

Center Stage for the Baltimore Sun Radio Auction. When she’s not 

busy volunteering or with the day to day work life at BHC, you’ll find 

Sally working out daily, gardening, listening to classical music and 

reading voraciously. 

Sally, who also helps proof this Bulletin, after reading this article 

made the comment, “This makes me sound like such a goodie-two 

shoes. I don’t feel that way. It’s just who I am. It’s what I do.” No 

doubt Sally. We’re privileged to work with you and honor you with 

the Carol J. Caplan Service and Commitment Award on May 6.

RS Religious School Ruach 

Choices from the Heart 

In February, as I co-led an empathy training 

experience for our 5th and 7th Grade students 

on how it feels to be different, I was charged with the task of 

connecting the students to the Jewish belief about people with 

disabilities. It was a quote from Albus Dumbledore, a character 

from Harry Potter, that helped me convey this to the students and 

connect them to one of our greatest leaders: 

“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our 

abilities.” 

Moses is one of the best examples of this quote that I can 

find. It is well-documented that Moses had a stutter or speech 

impediment. Even with his difference he chose to go and stand up 

to Pharaoh. It is because of this choice that we look up to him. He 

did not let his abilities or lack thereof get in his way of something 

in which he believed. 

How many times in our lives have we been told that we aren’t 

good enough or can’t do something because we just don’t have 

the ability? This quote and Moses’ story proves that if you want 

something badly enough, your ability does not matter. 

The choices we make in life are our own and no matter how 

great or weak our abilities are we should encourage our children to 

make choices from their heart and work hard for what they believe 

in. 

This Passover, share with someone at your seder a choice you 

made in your life that shows who you truly are. 

L’Shalom (For Peace),

DS Day School Doings 

A Fish in the Washtub 

Passover is my favorite holiday. When I was a child I watched my grandfather daven, hoping he did not keel over after 

hours of chanting. He never did. We drank some Manischewitz, sang Dayenu, and otherwise chilled out at the kids’ 

table. 

The biggest mystery to me was why my grandmother kept 

fish in the washtub in her basement. Finally, I asked her, and I 

learned that it was what she used to make gefilte fish; they were 

not her pets as I had imagined. Today’s children have questions 

as well, and while the traditions may have changed a bit, there 

are still wonders to impart every year. At the Day School we love 

the opportunity to teach our children about the holiday and its 

meaning. We have model seders, special treats and games, and 

our yearly “international charoset” event. Our hope is to instill in 

children a love and respect for tradition and ritual, and to infuse it 

with meaning and creativity. 

I envision that 20 years from now I will be invited to the home 

of a grown-up Day School graduate, and watch him/her impart the 

customs to his/her own children, who will ask their own questions. 

L’dor v’dor. My wishes to all for a healthy and meaningful Passover 

holiday.

Brotherhood News 

What’s It All About, Alfie? 

Building community is what it’s all about. We all 

know that Brotherhood supports the Temple by 

providing auxiliary programs and services to help bring life to BHC. 

However, these days, whether it is at work, home or Temple, we are 

all being asked to do more with less. 

Both the men’s and women’s auxiliaries are ultimately working 

toward the same goal and each is working with fewer resources. 

Sometimes the gender separated effort, for an otherwise gender 

neutral program, is just too thin of a willing population to fill a 

room. Even worse, the event plans are scrapped. 

I have found that men are reluctant to attend programs 

sponsored by Sisterhood and women often feel the same way about 

attending Brotherhood events. The singular gender sponsorship 

seems to send a message of exclusion, even if the program is gender 

neutral. 

This is why I am supporting cross-population participation 

between Brotherhood and Sisterhood events; so that we can do 

more with less. Together we can make a sandwich of service called 

B.L.T, Bringing Life to Temple and no one will be left in a pickle. 

Bon appetit!

Pay tribute to those 

who blessed us in life 

and continue to bless us 

through memory.

Perpetual Memorial for everlasting 

remembrance. A page in the special 

leather-bound books located in our 

Sanctuary may be dedicated as a 

memorial for your loved ones. Yahrzeit 

notification will be sent annually and 

your loved one’s name will be listed 

in the Temple Bulletin and the Shabbat 

Supplement. For information, contact 

Francie Gill, 410-764-1587, ext. 226, or
