The Art of Return 

The prophet commands us 

“Shuvu shuvu ami – Return, 

return, my people!” But to what are 

we returning 

The month of Elul is eternally 

committed to the belief that 

anything that we can choose we 

can change. We are not returning 

to a place (synagogue.) We are returning to a path. 

things different than they were” And “What have I done 

to contribute to each of those changes” Fill those in. 

Now make two more columns. If you could control it, 

“How should each improve” And finally, “How would 

the Torah change it” 

Finally, make your “To Do” list towards those necessary 

changes. A plan of action, and a life of enhanced purpose 

and meaning, are sure to emerge. 

God requires action, as well as belief. If it were impossible 

to change our actions, God would be – heaven forefend 

– cruel and even maniacal to require anything other 

than our own personal sense of right and wrong. The 

Conservative movement maintains that God has not only 

made us capable of the most sweeping life changes, but 

that God requires it of us in specific ways. 

Teshuvah (returning) is the great theme of the Yamim 

Nora’im (Days of Awe) which we observe from Rosh 

HaShanah through Yom Kippur. 

Yet the act of change is an art. It takes vision, planning, 

and implementation. 

Take a few moments, right now, and chart a list for 

yourself on paper. On the left, perhaps you’ll list “Beth 

Shalom, Family, Me” or other important areas of your life. 

Now make two more columns. “How are each of those 

You are now ready to come to Rosh HaShanah. 

The prime message of the High Holy Days Machzor is to 

return to our own lives in this manner, while listening to 

God’s known voices of judgment, forgiveness and loving 

expectations. 

Change becomes progress. Yet to progress, we must first 

return. 

May you be inscribed for health, happiness and prosperity 

in the year ahead.

September 2009

e xe c u t i v e l y s p e a k i n g 

During the spring process review, which involved 

approximately 45 volunteers and staff members, all 

synagogue procedures were analyzed to determine 

how well our systems work. Many modifications were 

proposed in the current budget, and some are now 

being implemented. Our system for receiving charitable 

donations is one area in which changes have been made. 

Our standard procedure for accepting a donation involves 

multiple steps: posting the check, crediting the correct 

account, formatting the information for the Scroll, sending 

a letter of acknowledgement to the donor, and notifying 

the honoree. When the monthly statement is sent, the 

same record of the donor’s gift is printed. In the situations 

where multiple notifications are sent for the same gift, the 

workload multiplies. It was decided several years ago that 

donations of $10 or greater would be printed in the Scroll. 

In order to promote efficiency in the administrative 

office, we have changed the procedure. Beginning in July, 

we stopped sending an immediate acknowledgement 

to the donor, since that same information comes in the 

monthly statement. We will send a monthly statement 

if your account has any activity. If a non-member makes 

a donation, we will still send a letter of appreciation. 

Honorees will now receive a card which has been 

redesigned by Linda Salvay to notify 

them of a donation. When the new 

website becomes fully launched, 

we may find that notifications can 

be sent by email if the family has 

supplied their email address. At the 

end of the calendar year, a written 

letter of notification for payments to 

the synagogue of $250 or greater will 

be sent, consistent with federal law. 

We are in the process of updating 

our computer systems and business processes, as we utilize 

technology to help save precious dollars. We value your 

contributions at any level of giving. As with any change, 

we realize there will be some initial confusion. We ask for 

your support, understanding, and patience while we work 

through the transition. As always, your thoughts and 

suggestions are very much appreciated.

An Exciting Year is Planned, Join Us! 

Camp was wonderful! We now look forward to the High Holy Days and an 

exciting academic year. This year will be filled with a number of “firsts” for 

Beth Shalom and the RFNS. We will begin with special High Holy Days 

services for our preschoolers and their families on September 19, 20 and 28, 

9-10 a.m. (see service schedule on page 10.) These services will include prayer, 

stories, songs and discussions about the High Holy Days. Babysitting will 

be available before and after these young family services. If you would like 

to make arrangements for babysitting, please contact the preschool office. 

Babysitting reservations are required. 

Our academic year will begin Monday, August 31. Some openings are still 

available. In addition to preschool classes, we offer three age-appropriate 

child and parent classes. Way to Grow! Baby, Mondays, 11-11:45 a.m. for

What to Expect in Religious School 

Contrary to popular opinion, the summer is a very busy time for us in the 

religious school. It is the behind the scenes work we do during the summer 

months that makes the rest of the year run so smoothly. 

So, what is it that you can expect this year in the school The religious school 

is blessed with many returning teachers, which makes for a very stable faculty. 

We are pleased to welcome Rabbi Stein, who will be teaching our 10 th grade 

Confirmation class and will be available to work with the staff, particularly 

in the area of text. Rabbi Tobin and Hazzan Menes will also be teaching our 

Confirmation students and will have additional responsibilities in the school. 

Three of our teachers, Debby Agron, Dayna Gershon and Jill Goldstein are 

participating in a community wide program, the Teacher Education Initiative. 

They have brought new ideas and teaching techniques to the entire faculty and 

to their own classroom teaching. Watch for upcoming programs, particularly 

in the area of mitzvah family projects coordinated by Debby Agron. 

Important Dates: 

Wednesday, September 9 

Opening Day–Grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 

Open House – 5:30 p.m. 

Grades 2 and 7 in the classrooms

Annual High Holy Day Appeal 

Has Begun 

Once again our congregation is appealing to our 

membership for extra funds to help support Beth 

Shalom. Our combined dues cover approximately half 

of our synagogue’s expenses. Our goal is to raise $85,000 

to help support the excellent programs and services Beth 

Shalom will provide throughout the coming year. 

High Holy Day Appeal pledge cards for this year have 

been mailed, and board members will soon call to ask 

for your support. Levels of support range from $1 

to $1800+. We are hoping for 100% participation. 

Donations can be made by mailing in your pledge card, 

speaking to a Board member on the phone, or indicating 

your pledge amount on your High Holy Day ticket and 

depositing it with an usher during Yom Kippur services. 

Please contribute to the High Holy Day Appeal for 

2009-10. Your donation makes a difference! 

For information contact the High Holy Day Appeal 

Chairmen, Kurt Kavanaugh, 913-383-8828 or Clint
