Volume 13 Number 7 — Sivan ~ Tamuz 5771 — <strong>July</strong> 2011<br />

Betw een Camp Coleman (in Cleveland, GA) and Kutz Camp (in<br />

Warw ick, NY), KKBE is sending over 20 of our kids to URJ camps this<br />

summer. Our numbers at Coleman alone put us at #4 on their<br />

enrollment list– a remarkable achievement in a region that includes<br />

mega-congregations in Atlanta and Florida! How indebted we are to the<br />

Julie, Danielle and Stephen Ziff Youth Education Fund; the Bess Rosen<br />

and Paul Rosen Camp Fund; and the Sisterhood for enabling us to<br />

assist our families in providing this incredible experience for a growing<br />

number of our children and teens.<br />

Now if only our adults could take advantage of all that camp has to offer<br />

– time away from home, in a unique URJ environment, where we can pay particular attention to<br />

nourishing our souls and energizing our spirits. Yet such opportunities do exist. Please<br />

consider one of tw o wonderful upcoming chances to experience and enjoy the best a Jewish<br />

camping experience can offer:<br />

1: Family Camp at Camp Coleman, Labor Day Weekend 2011<br />

Rabbi Ellen Nemhauser, of Camp Coleman’s programming team, shares the following: “Family<br />

Camp, on Labor Day Weekend at Coleman, is a beautiful time of the year in the North Georgia<br />

Mountains. The food is great (no really—it's superb—ask those who have come up for this<br />

special weekend). The overall ambience is one of relax ation and camaraderie. Almost all the<br />

activ ity centers at camp are open and it's a treat to be there with the families who participate.<br />

We provide a great getaway for all ages. My 5 year old son, Carmi, learned to kayak last year;<br />

Wildlife Wonders came and regaled us with stories and liv e demonstrations involv ing all sorts;<br />

we created real art and vibrant tie-died garments to bring home; enjoyed a spirited evening of<br />

family fun with playwright and director, Mira Hirsch; and the experience of Shabbat in the<br />

Woods for 24 hours was delightful.”<br />

For kids (or parents) who may be a bit nervous about a first-time camping experience, this<br />

prov ides the perfect opportunity for them to get to know the camp Director, Assistant Directors<br />

and facilities—and for kids who already can’t wait to go back to camp, what a wonderful chance<br />

to that which means so much to them with their families. For more information, including<br />

registration forms, please see http://coleman.urjcamps.org/yearround/familycamp/.<br />

2: If you prefer to trade in a cabin for a hotel room, then I hope to see you at<br />

the 71 st URJ Biennial outside Washington, D.C., December 14-18, 2011:<br />

A URJ Biennial is truly something every Reform Jew should experience at least once in his/her<br />

lifetime; and many of those who have, often become hooked. Reasons abound, but my<br />

fav orites include: the chance to pray and sing with 3,000 or so fellow worshippers; countless<br />

learning sessions with topnotch scholars and daily concerts with outstanding musicians; some<br />

of the best Judaica shopping around; and, as one attendee described, “a wonderful way to<br />

remove yourself from the day to day life of volunteering for a Temple and remember why it is<br />

that y ou do what you do.” Plus, this year’s Biennial provides the unique opportunity to meet and<br />

hear from our new URJ President, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, at a time of great opportunity, challenge<br />

and reflection within the Reform Mov ement. For more information, see http://urj.org/biennial/.<br />

With all best w ishes –<br />

President’s Message<br />

Dear Congregants,<br />

You w on’t be reading this until <strong>July</strong>, but I am w riting it on May 16th, the day after Mitzv ah Day. I<br />

hav e participated in them before, but I am alw ays amazed by the number of our congregants who<br />

show up ready, willing and eager to help. Yesterday was no exception. The day started with an<br />

assembly of all of our Religious School students and teachers, along with v olunteers ready to<br />

begin their w ork.<br />

Ev ery Sunday, there is a brief service for our students. Rabbi Alexander conducted this one and it<br />

w as v ery sw eet and inspiring. She sang and played guitar and engaged the congregation in<br />

communal w orship. Joel Crook also play ed guitar and sang an original song that reinforced the<br />

theme of the day. Cynthia Av a, w ho began our Social Action Committee, deliv ered an inspirational<br />

message.<br />

Some of the children were dismissed w ith their teachers to the classroom w here they worked on projects for Mitzvah Day . Other<br />

students w ere dismissed to their parents to go offsite to one of the agencies receiving our help. In the past, I hav e volunteered at the<br />

Sherman House, Crisis Ministries Family Shelter, and the Neighborhood House. This year Dolly , Caroline & I remained at KKBE to<br />

assist there. I started in one of the storerooms w here Ira Rosenberg, Caroline & I were guided by Shanna Middleton, one of our<br />

facilities managers. We re-organized the room, restocked shelv es and cleared a lot of space. It really didn’t seem like w ork. We<br />

enjoy ed being together and it felt good to accomplish this mundane but important task. We finished early.<br />

Ira, Caroline & I then went to help Dolly & Anita w ho w ere cleaning out and reorganizing the pray er book storage closets. Once<br />

again, this w as a fairly simple but important task. We found enough Union Pray er Books to fill tw o box es. We had already donated<br />

sev eral hundred to Temple Mickv e Israel in Sav annah last y ear as we no longer use them. We w ill be sending the rest to them as<br />

w ell. We also remov ed hundreds of Gates of Prayer (Blue) which we don’t use and will be finding suitable recipients for them. We<br />

organized a large number of copies of Gates of Pray er (Gray ) which we use in East Cooper and other services. There are copies of<br />

all siddurim in our library and Rabbi Alexander has retained enough copies of each to conduct study sessions in the future.<br />

We w ent through each book indiv idually and remov ed ones w ith dedication pages involv ing congregants so those books could be<br />

offered to those families. A few w ent to our museum. Our incredible librarian, Marlene Williamon, insisted that all damaged books be<br />

giv en to her for repair before they w ere offered to any body . She repaired a number of them before w e could ev en finish packing<br />

them.<br />

So, w hat is the bottom line Unlike prev ious y ears, w hen I w ent to facilities that w ere so grateful for our presence, our labor and our<br />

spirit, this year I did the mundane. It felt great. In some small way, our little group made our congregational home a little neater, a<br />

little more organized and a little more cost-effectiv e (we are unpaid labor). We really enjoyed w orking together and welcoming the<br />

others back from their off-site v isits. In the midst of this, tourists continued to v isit Chosen Treasures and the sanctuary . I w as asked<br />

by one of them w hat all of the commotion w as about. I took great pride by responding that they w ere w itnessing the best of<br />

congregational life. They w ere seeing the best of KKBE. All of us w ere working together for good causes, large or small. It is w hat<br />

w e do.<br />

Shalom,<br />

Religious School Updates<br />

Amy I. W. Horner, M.A., Temple Educator<br />

School is out, and summer is in full swing. In Charleston, even those who aren’t on<br />

vacation enjoy the longer days and the slower pace that the heat demands.<br />

Except for the heat of high noon, summer encourages us to spend time outdoors. We can<br />

enjoy blooming flowers, trips to the ocean, and freshly grown fruits and vegetables. It is a perfect<br />

time to try a Jewish tradition: reciting the shehecheyanu each time you taste something for the first<br />

time in a year or more, or see something that leaves you awestruck. You may be familiar with<br />

reciting the shehecheyanu on the first nights of holidays, including Chanukah. But the<br />

shehecheyanu can be said at other times, too, and like reciting the hamotzi before a meal, this<br />

tradition transforms an everyday experience into something holy. An audio recording of the<br />

shehecheyanu can be found on the URJ’s website: http://media.urj.org/educate/blessings/t6r4-<br />

shehechiyanu-chanukah.mp3.<br />

How else can we connect our summer fun to our Jewishness If you have school-age children, you have probably<br />

received reminders about maintaining the things they have learned in school during the summer. There are summer<br />

reading assignments for many ages, and even our youngest students are encouraged to read. The best way to maintain<br />

reading skills, we know, is to keep reading. The best way to maintain Hebrew reading skills... is to keep reading Hebrew.<br />

If your child takes Hebrew at KKBE, please don’t set aside his or her textbook now that summer is here! Keep it out, and<br />

ask your child to read to you occasionally. Whether or not you read Hebrew yourself, listen, and learn along with your<br />

child.<br />

Summer in Charleston is a time to refresh ourselves. We can come to services on Shabbat and explore our<br />

siddur (prayer book), the Mishkan T’filah. Adults as well as children will find Jewish books available at local bookstores<br />

and at KKBE’s library. (Please check with volunteer librarian Marlene Williamon for hours, as KKBE’s library is not open<br />

every day.) You will find Jewish books in the public library, too.<br />

When August and the Hebrew month of Elul begin, our thoughts will become more serious as we prepare<br />

ourselves for the High Holy Days and back-to-school. Registration forms for the 2011-2012 (5772) school year have been<br />

sent home electronically, and are available on our website, www.kkbe.org. I look forward to seeing our Religious School<br />

families on Sunday, August 21, for our annual Open House. Hebrew students and their parents have a mandatory<br />

meeting with their teachers that day, and all students will be able to meet their Religious School teachers. Members of our<br />

Brotherhood will be cooking pancakes for us, and if you’ve had their pancakes, you know you don’t want to miss their<br />

cooking or the chance to enjoy breakfast with friends old and new.<br />

I hope you have a chance to relax and renew yourself this summer!<br />

Executive Director’s Message<br />

Someone once told me you can’t step in the same stream twice. I think they meant that while things may appear the same<br />

on the surface, in truth, even the smallest of changes usually make things VERY different. I have found that to be true…<br />

and usually, I’m glad it is.<br />

In May, KKBE began transforming. We elected a new Board of Trustees. In truth, we’re still getting to know one another.<br />

While many of our leaders generously agreed to serve another term, there are new leaders changing the nature of our<br />

stream. We have stepped into new waters sparkling with opportunities to work in new ways with one another as we strive<br />

to accomplish KKBE’s mission--Torah, Avodah, and G'milut Chasadim.<br />

I am grateful beyond words for the willing spirits of our volunteer leaders. I’m thankful for the wisdom and dedication of<br />

leaders who have trod this path before and for the new perspectives we’ll gain from new eyes, new questions, and new<br />

ways of working together. Our congregation has exciting challenges before us and wonderful new chances to learn<br />

together, building a stronger Reform Jewish Congregation here on Hasell Street—as we have for over 260 years. We’ll<br />

need your help along the way--as always.<br />

Every one of us who work for <strong>Kahal</strong> <strong>Kadosh</strong> <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>Elohim</strong> are glad to work with such dedicated, funny, hard working KKBE<br />

volunteer leaders—old and new alike. As our nation celebrates its independence this month, we celebrate all of YOU.<br />

Our nation began with volunteers and KKBE, like our nation, learns, loves and serves because of men and women who<br />

lend their time, talent and treasures to make KKBE the remarkable congregation that it is.<br />

Please… let us know how we can help you serve our historic congregation. It is our work and our pleasure to support your<br />

efforts. We’re counting on you to help us make KKBE all that you dream it will become. Chazak, chazak, v’nitchazek!<br />

L’shalom,<br />

Floy<br />

Chazak, chazak, v’nitchazek!<br />

Volunteer leaders and professional leaders need each other, and we have the<br />

pow er to draw strength from one another. Together as volunteers and professionals,<br />

w e can be powerful partners—leading our people to greater Jewish learning, deeper<br />

Jew ish meaning and better Jewish liv ing. Ev ery Jew ish leader, whether contributing<br />

as a volunteer or as a synagogue professional, has the power to add immeasurably<br />

to the strength of our people. When we w ork together, with respect, with cooperation<br />

and w ith purpose, we are able to fulfill the Torah’s instruction: Chazak, chazak,<br />

v’nitchazek—Be strong, be strong, and we will strengthen one another.<br />

Vice President of Administration<br />

Behind the Scenes...<br />

Highlights of the past month.<br />

Committees:<br />

After the Spring meeting and election of the new Board, we got down to work! All committees<br />

have been reviewed, additional members added when needed and statements of the goals and<br />

purposes of each committee constructed. Committees should now have a chair, co-chair and a<br />

group organized to work for the stated goals. If you see a committee that peaks your interest,<br />

please call the chair, or me, and volunteer! We need everyone!<br />

Coming Street Cemetery Restoration:<br />

A sincere “todah rabah” to the Yaschik Foundation which awarded us a grant to begin Phase One: Mapping the Way as<br />

we launch the restoration of our historic cemetery. Details can be seen in the June 22 nd issue of Temple Talk. Thanks to<br />

our ED, Floy Work, who so carefully prepared our grant application. Another “thank you” is due to Mary Radin, Pat Votava<br />

and Randi Serrins who have volunteered to join me on the Coming Street Cemetery Restoration Task Force created at the<br />

request of Morton Ellison, Cemetery Chair. We’ll report details as we get the project underway. Just this past week, Randi<br />

and I have taken three groups on tours of the historic cemetery. We appreciate Rabbi Sytner of BSBI who brought his<br />

Women’s Study Group to the cemetery to learn its history and to see the graves of their early Shearith Israel congregation.<br />

Thanks to Rabbi Alexander and office staff, our busy KKBE calendar for the coming year is now as complete as any<br />

calendar can be! See it on-line.<br />

And a special Mazel-tov to Rabbi Alexander on the completion of her first year with us!<br />

Got Photos<br />

The Confirmation Class of 5771 is collecting and framing a<br />

timeline of KKBE confirmation class photos. They ask that<br />

you look for photos of your confirmand's class - recent, not so<br />

recent and historic - and send copies of the photos to the<br />

Temple Office--marked to the attention of the Confirmation<br />

Class. As their gift to KKBE, this year's class will frame the<br />

photos which will then be hung in a place of honor at KKBE.<br />

Thanks for your help, and happy photo finding!<br />

There are multiple ways to make tax deductible legacy gifts to<br />

KKBE. We are grateful for each one! Each form qualifies the<br />

donor to become a member of KKBE’s Society of 1749. Each<br />

promises to sustain KKBE’s historic congregation and assure it<br />

can continue to fulfill its mission.<br />

• Donors can bequeath money, real property or stocks as a<br />

part of their wills. Donors can specify a specific KKBE fund or<br />

help us grow our KKBE Endowment by making a gift to the<br />

Endowment which resides at the Coastal Community<br />

Foundation.<br />

• There are structured lifetime giving programs which provide<br />

flexibility in how contributions are used. One good example is<br />

Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT). CRTs earmark assets for<br />

KKBE while the donor receives an income stream from the gift.<br />

At the termination of the trust KKBE receives the “remainder” of<br />

your donation. This is perfect for those who want to dispose of<br />

highly appreciated assets.<br />

If KKBE is in your will, please let us know so we may honor your<br />

loving kindness by including you in the Society of 1749. If you<br />

have questions, please call Floy Work, our Executive Director.<br />

She’d love to speak with you about a legacy gift to <strong>Kahal</strong> <strong>Kadosh</strong><br />

<strong>Beth</strong> <strong>Elohim</strong>.<br />
