From The Clergy 

If You Build It, 

We Will Come 

Growing up, Sukkot was a pretty forgettable holiday. I think someone put up a sukkah 

outside the back door of our Temple, and I’m pretty sure I remember eating snacks 

out there during Sunday School. That’s the sum total of my childhood resonances 

with the holiday that in ancient days was so important it was referred to as THE 

Festival. 

Now, however, Sukkot has become one of my favorite holidays and clearly not 

because of my childhood memories. Instead I love Sukkot because 

a) It’s so much fun to build and decorate a sukkah; 

b) The symbolism of the sukkah is so profound and so tangible; and 

c) Even though I only manage to eat with my family in it one or two nights, it 

never fails to be a wonderful gathering place for friends and neighbors. 

Because we suspect that not everyone at BHC knows or agrees with my three 

reasons for loving Sukkot, this is the year we’re going to change all that. 

Do you build a sukkah at your house? If so, we want to know about it. Either Rabbi 

Busch or I or Cantors Solomon or Sacks will visit every single home sukkah in the 

Congregation during Sukkot this year. Doesn’t matter if it’s plain or fancy, wood, 

pvc or aluminum, cobbled together or expertly crafted – we’re in! Email ipowell@ 

bhcong.org if you want a clergy visit and we will get you on the schedule! If you’ve 

never built one before, check out this website for easy and inexpensive kits: 

www.sukkahproject.com. 

Sukkot was a powerful holiday not only in ancient days, but also today because 

it speaks clearly to our modern existence. Comparing Sukkot with the other 

pilgrimage holidays of Passover and Shavuot, Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin says, “Sukkot is 

about the journey. It is the holiday that best symbolizes where most of us are most 

of the time: somewhere in between, midway, sometimes moving, sometimes stuck, 

always heading – we hope – in the right direction. It reminds us that the way we 

get somewhere, what we do and learn along the way, where we detour and where 

we pause, whom we meet and whom we travel with, are as essential to the journey 

as the arrival.” 

Spend a night or two eating under the stars with a whole bunch of friends or a 

couple of close ones. Talk about the journey you’re on and take a moment to reflect 

on life’s fragility and potential. Build yourself a sukkah…and we will come!

Just Say 

Hello! 

YK Afternoon Reflections 

Join BHC members Judy Macks and Ted Williams as they present 

their “Journey through Judaism” on Saturday, October 8, 2:45 p m, 

Yom Kippur Afternoon Worship. The following is an excerpt written 

by Ted Williams: 

“My journey through Judaism unofficially started as a young boy 

growing up in the 1950s and 1960s in Turner Station, during the 

height of segregation. During that time, African Americans were 

segregated in every phase of American life. Nonetheless, the Jewish 

business district was open to blacks and I spent countless hours 

hanging out in the Lombard and Gay Street corridors. I was struck 

most profoundly by the positive way in which Jewish proprietors 

interacted with blacks. There was a sense of respect, especially 

for the elderly of our community that I did not see exhibited in 

the larger external community. I later came to understand that 

these ‘loving acts of kindness’ were an integral part of Jewish life 

and practice. Thus, I had developed a very fond appreciation for 

the Jewish community. This interaction would ultimately have a 

profound positive impact upon my thinking. At this point, one 

might say that I was developing a real-time religious critique of 

Judaism and Christianity. 

As I grew into young adulthood and became more involved in 

things religious and spiritual, I developed an insatiable appetite 

for the truth. I enrolled in seminary and ultimately became an 

ordained clergy. Contrary to what I had been told I discovered that 

the Tanach, far from being an old testament, was a vibrant and 

life-giving force for good. I began keeping the Jewish dietary laws, 

honoring Shabbat and viewing the world from a Jewish perspective. 

This led to my decision to give my life completely to G-d and to 

officially become a ‘Jew by Choice.’ As a Jew by Choice, I see myself 

totally connected to God, the Jewish people, the State of Israel and 

to the goal of Tikkun Olam. 

Everything that I am today, my accomplishments and spiritual 

development have come through the teachings of Judaism. Thus, 

for me Judaism is my life’s blood and the spiritual umbilical cord 

to the throne of God.”

Welcoming Efforts 

A Message from the President 

They say “come to Maryland and you can 

experience a variety of topography and 

weather.” I did not realize that this also 

applied to phenomena of nature as well. 

August brought us a couple of interesting 

challenges: an earthquake and a hurricane, 

with its continuing electrical problems. 

Naturally, after both events, they were the main topics of 

conversation. At a store or simply talking to someone on the street, 

one described where they were during the earthquake. With the 

hurricane, everyone was commiserating over the lack of electrical 

service and its inconvenience. We talked with complete strangers 

as if they were long-lost friends. It’s amazing how events like these 

trigger our natural inclinations to be friendly. 

This inclination should be extended to our Congregational 

family as well. BHC’s Membership Committee is starting a new 

campaign – “Just Say Hello.” The High Holy Days are a perfect 

time to do this. In our liturgy we talk about our being strangers in 

the land of Egypt. It is incumbent upon us to be welcoming, not 

only to our fellow Congregants, but to the strangers in our midst. 

We are the ambassadors of goodwill who will help to make BHC 

a second home to all. The Membership Committee, under the 

leadership of Marlyn O’Mansky and Barbi Hyman, will be wearing 

big yellow buttons to identify themselves at Rosh Hashanah Under 

the Stars. Please join them in their welcoming efforts. At this time 

of reflection and introspection, make this welcoming effort a part 

of your daily life. 

We are also reminded at this time of year of the financial 

needs of our Congregation. The Annual Giving campaign has been 

successful because of the generosity of our members. We are again 

asking you to respond generously when solicited, so that BHC can 

continue to provide the outstanding services and educational 

programs to all of our members, both young and young at heart.

PH Program Highlights

behalf of government agencies and non-profit organizations, Mr. 

Basu has written several high-profile economic development 

strategies.”

DS Day School Doings 

Enriching Lives 

One descriptor The Day School uses is: “A Small 

School that Makes a Big Difference.” Generally Gerri Chizeck 

this is interpreted as a school whose size and 

program create students who excel academically, grow personally, 

and pursue rich and varied interests. 

This year, our students are eager to expand that vision to 

focus on—individually, in groups and as a school—making a 

difference. A fundamental value in our program, pursuing justice 

and righteousness, is something we inculcate in our children from 

early childhood on up. In an age appropriate way, our students 

choose to enrich the lives of their classmates, friends, families and 

people in the community and world. 

As individuals, students are choosing advocacy projects, Bar 

and Bat Mitzvah projects and personal interest projects. Recently, 

one of our 7th graders, Barrett Ozga, had as his Bar Mitzvah theme 

“Keeping the Mitzvah in Bar Mitzvah.” Last year’s advocacy class 

students, now 8th graders, are continuing the projects they began, 

ranging from feeding the hungry to supporting local and national 

organizations that prevent extinction of animals. 

In honor of Rosh Hashanah, each class/level commited to a 

mitzvah or tzedakah project. We celebrated the world’s birthday 

by dedicating ourselves to repairing the world, Tikkun Olam. In 

addition, on Fridays the students bring Tzedakah money, which 

is used for everything from emergency aid for those who have 

suffered national disasters to supporting groups in Israel such as 

“birthday angels,” who give birthday parties for children who could 

not otherwise afford a celebration. 

Adding to the culture of giving, Day School students learn that 

making a difference is a daily task, caring for one another. The 

Second Step social skills program enhances our Judaic program 

of teaching values and ethics by encouraging students to develop 

empathy, learn skills for conflict resolution, anger management 

and cooperation with others. 

This emphasis helps to create an environment that is intimate, 

caring, and nurturing, with close relationships among peers, 

between grade levels and with faculty. It creates a learning 

environment where there are no obstacles to progressing and 

excelling as students feel safe and known. 

It also creates graduates who wish to give back. A favorite 

moment from this fall is a visit from an alum, Sam Frallicciardi. 

Entering college this year in Pennsylvania, Sam has chosen to teach 

religious school at Temple Ohev Sholom in Harrisburg and to advise 

their youth group. As he hugged his former Day School teachers, 

they kvelled with pride and knew that they would be hearing more 

great things about his future. 

Wishing everyone a prosperous year of learning and growing,

JPlay 

Six early childhood centers affiliated with the 

Center for Jewish Education have formed a group, 

under the direction of DJ Schneider Jensen, 

Director of Early Childhood Services for the 

CJE, to promote quality education for all young 

children. Based on current brain development 

research, the philosophy of this exciting coalition 

is that children learn best through an emergent, 

child centered curriculum. Children who are Sharon Edlow 

free to explore their environment, ask questions 

and are guided by well trained teachers, become active, creative 

learners. We are proud to be part of this group which has chosen 

the name JPlay. Look for our table at the Ultimate Block Party on 

Sunday, October 2 at Rash Field. 

The school year is off to a great start and we would love to 

show off our newly painted lobby and our activity-filled classrooms. 

Call us at 410-764-7281 to set up a tour or get information about our 

programs for children 10 weeks to 4 years.

Family Reflection 

The High Holy Days are a time for personal 

reflection over the past year. We spend extra time 

contemplating how we have acted with friends, 

strangers, and ourselves. Beyond personal reflection, the High Holy 

Days provide our community with an opportunity to contemplate 

the dynamics, actions, and goals of our family. 

How does your family walk in the world? What could your family 

do this year to strengthen the world? How could you be a better 

parent, sister, brother, grandparent, etc…? 

These questions are not easy, so I encourage you to set aside some 

family time to discuss these questions and more. One opportunity 

for you to interact with your family is at the YK Family Experience 

on Saturday, October 8, 4:30 p m. You will have the opportunity to 

do an art project that helps you view the perception that you have 

of yourself. This activity will be a great lead into a discussion about 

your family. We hope to see you there!

Rock and Row 

Yeshiva University decided to field a crew team. 

Unfortunately, they lost race after race. They 

practiced for hours every day, but never managed 

to come in any better than dead last. 

The Rosh Yeshiva finally decided to send Yankel to spy on the 

Harvard team. So Yankel schlepped off to Cambridge and hid in the 

bullrushes off the Charles River, from where he carefully watched 

the Harvard team as they practiced. Yankel finally returned to 

Yeshiva. “I have figured out their secret,” he announced. 

“They have eight guys rowing and only one guy shouting.” 

Leadership is about ideas, values and philosophy. These are 

mine: At the center is the president; extending out from there is the 

Board; connected to them are the general membership followed by 

the Congregation at large. Although I am in command, I am not in 

control. Control is in the hands of the Board to form committees, 

take responsibility and accomplish goals. Our goals are routine as 

well as far-reaching. Committees can include general members as 

well as Congregants. Oversight is at the discretion of the Executive 

Board and ultimately the president. It is a model of reverse control 

flow. The people are empowered but must row to make speed. As 

president, perhaps I have rocked the boat, but I have also realized 

Yankel’s secret. I am asking for everyone’s help to win the race.

Perpetual Memorials 

Pay tribute to those 

who blessed us in life 

and continue 

to bless us 

through memory. 

BHC makes it possible to establish a 

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
