President’s Message
Michael Gordon
Over the last several months, I’ve been taking a peek at the character of the
congregation. What I’ve learned is that you care a great deal about your relationship
with G-d, about the well being of your family, about the condition of the congregation,
about your Jewish being and experience, and the sustainability of Temple Adas Shalom.
As we move forward through this Coronavirus journey into a post-pandemic world, we
believe that this is a time for reimagining the future in a way that will make the future
better than the past. To this end, the board, in partnership with the Rabbi, is looking to
transform membership function. The plan is to steer from a focus on the headcount and
annual fund drives to a focus on the quality and quantity of engagement opportunities
for all segments of our congregation. We now have our first student board member,
Kalina Abrams, who will remind us of the need to help our youth continue their
religious journey into adulthood. Adult education is off to a great start in preparing
many high-quality opportunities for continuing education. You just received a survey
that will help us sharpen our focus. The newly reinvigorated Finance Committee has a
primary objective of providing for the financial sustainability of Temple. As we work to
achieve this, we are very conscious of the fact that a number of our congregants are
faced with serious financial difficulties. Those of us who have been more fortunate will
be called upon to step up so we can lessen the burden on those who are struggling. Our
Fund Raising Committee is exploring many new activities that will both generate
revenue and engage the congregation. In all areas, we are seeking to build new
partnerships with the local community and local businesses.
The Religious Practices Committee has provided us with a solid foundation
cornerstone for all of our activities. We have “Zoomed” into the streaming delivery of
Shabbat Services, B’nai Mitzvah, and shiva minyanim. We can visualize a future where
we will deliver a hybrid model of in-person and streaming services. We’ve seen
participation from congregants who couldn’t otherwise attend Shabbat Services. We’re
looking for ways to provide a virtual Oneg experience. At the same time, our Religious
School is focused on continuing to provide meaningful education in the world of Zoom.
Many of you have asked about where we stand with opening the building. We have a
Safe Opening Committee co-chaired by Mark Wolkow of the RPC and Barry Baker
representing the medical and data-driven perspectives. It has been decided that the
High Holiday Services will be streamed and is a common approach among Reform
Congregations across the county. Likewise, following the lead of the Harford County
Public Schools, the first semester of religious school will be conducted online.
As we find a deeper purpose in our Jewish experience, we will strive to make the new
year a positive experience for all members of our congregation. This experience is a
sacred partnership that we all share in having. I can promise you that we will stay
focused on making tomorrow the best it can be. We will use this pandemic as a catalyst
for looking at our world in a new way.
L’shalom

Religious Practices Message
Melissa Immel & Mark Wolkow
2020 Summer
Whoever thought “Zoom” would be in all of our vocabularies, and a
comment event for so many people? Religious Services via
teleconference? Online B’nai Mitzvahs? Six months ago, you couldn’t
have made this stuff up, and now it is part of everyday life! In fact, we
completed our first two Zoom B’nai Mitzvah events in July. They were
different, for sure, but we were able to pull them off successfully. Doing
these online has at least one positive outcome – people who live far away
or have difficulty traveling have the opportunity to be a part of the event,
an unexpected benefit for the families.
What’s coming up in August? We have our regular services, led by Rabbi
Franken and lay leaders. All have music led either by Mike Mullis or
members of the choir, and each service includes a relevant drash or
discussion on a topic pertinent to our lives today. Rabbi is also running
three Taking Hold of Torah sessions on Saturday mornings in August.
You’re welcome to tune in while you are having a relaxing Shabbat. And
on the 21st and 22nd, Tyler and Gabe Sober will help lead services and
become B’nai Mitzvah!
As you will (or have) read in the President’s letter to the congregation, to
ensure the safety of our congregants, staff, and guests, we will be
conducting our High Holiday services virtually. If you have any thoughts,
ideas, suggestions regarding the High Holidays, please contact Melissa or
Mark.
B’Shalom,
Melissa Immel and Mark Wolkow

The Religious School breakfast planning is
underway. Be on the lookout for an E-mail and
Facebook post about how we will make this event
happen!
In the survey referenced above, we will ask Sisterhood
Members (present and future) to sign up to assist with at
least one of these listed events or activities. All
interested will collaborate as a team to plan, and
execute your plan. Each event or activity has an
Executive Board Member as a liaison to be your
contact, and guide you in meeting success with your
choice. These liaisons are not in charge…a member of
the event or activity team will lead the group. We have
tools set up to help you.
Here is the catch….if nobody signs up….the event or
WHY??? In a discussion we had at one of our events last year, and in passing, there
were concerns mentioned that events were not advertised timely or not what you
expected or wanted exactly. With just a few, trying to make it all happen, we
sometimes missed the mark. It is discouraging for members, and disappointing for
those we serve. So the Board decided that the above is a step in a good direction. So
please give us a hand.

HIGH HOLIDAY NEWS
Religious Practices Committee, Mike Gordon, & Rabbi
Dear Friends,
From the first week we found ourselves sheltering in place, we have been
sharing the message that while our building is closed, our Synagogue is very
much open and thriving. We have found new and innovative ways to connect
and “be together” virtually for worship, education, pastoral and communal
gatherings. And while we certainly miss being together in-person, we have
created new holy spaces where we have been able to pray, celebrate, and mourn
with one another. While the meeting place may be “virtual,” the care, passion,
compassion, prayer, and friendship are all as real as ever.
Since the beginning of this pandemic, your Temple leadership’s decisions have
incorporated not only sound, up-to-the-minute medical information, but also
rests on our core Jewish values.
Pikuach nefesh – saving a life. It is the cornerstone of who we are as Jews, so at
the forefront of every decision is the safety of both our staff and our
congregants;
Kol Yisrael arevim zeh l’zeh – we are all responsible for the safety and wellbeing
of one another. We cannot make any decisions in a vacuum;
Equity – we strive for fair access to what we have to offer for our entire Temple
Adas Shalom community.
With guidance from the CDC, our Reform Movement, the State of Maryland,
and health care professionals within our congregational family, it has become
increasingly apparent that the risks involved in gathering, praying communally,
singing and chanting are significant and not yet contained, even through careful
social distancing and wearing of masks. And, with respect to High Holy Day
services, our most special and sacred portions of that experience – singing
together, listening to our beloved Sig Gast and talented choir lead us in prayer,
hearing the sounds of the Shofar, participating in the Hakafah with past and
present Temple leaders holding our Torah scrolls, sharing the bima with one
another, and greeting and wishing everyone Shanah Tovah – cannot be enjoyed
safely in our sanctuary at this time.
We have determined that in order to make our High Holy Day services
meaningful, spiritual and safe for everyone, we must conduct these services
virtually. This is the best decision we can make to honor both our tradition and
our entire Temple community. We remain committed to continuing to offer
10 | P a g e
vibrant, sacred and inclusive pathways for remote participation, and to do so in
ways that remain true to who we are as a Congregation.
We do not make this decision lightly, and we recognize that this decision for
some is a painful one. So much has been taken from us in these last few months.
It is difficult to let go of the hopes and expectations we have for many aspects
of our lives right now, including our High Holy Day season. But if we lean into
chesed, loving kindness, as we seek out new and creative ways to show love to
our neighbors and ourselves, and we remember that Temple Adas Shalom is not
a building but rather a family, we can collectively make this High Holy Day
experience meaningful, engaging and spiritual for all of us. We can allow our
clergy and Religious Practices Committee (RPC) to focus their time and our
resources on reimagining a sacred and powerful worship and study experience
that is right for this time and place.
As with all decisions our leadership team is making during these times, we
recognize that our plans must include room for flexibility. We will continue to
monitor the latest scientific information from the sources noted above, and
work toward in-person gatherings based on what we learn. In the meantime,
we have been begun working to create innovative ways to experience this
unique High Holy Day season, and are in regular contact with URJ staff, other
Rabbis, and Temple leaders from across the country. As almost every Reform
congregation is now planning on virtual services, there are many ideas being
shared across URJ communication networks.
Our community is so much greater than the four walls of our building. Temple
Adas Shalom is a group of resilient, committed, loving and caring individuals
and families. Our strength lies in our hearts, and no pandemic can take that
away. Let’s do what we do best; let’s rise up together in community and move
forward from strength to strength. This is who we are, so let’s get started.
Zoom links and more information is forthcoming. If you do not have access
to a computer and instead wish to listen in by phone, please contact the
office to arrange for the use of prayer book. A limited number of large print
copies are available.
L’Shalom,

Adult Education Message
Stephen Marksamer
Hello. Last month I introduced our new Adult Education initiative. Our committee has
a robust, diverse membership comprised of
Terri Broemm, Rabbi Franken, Denise Gordon, Melissa Immel, Michael Kropp, Mike
Mullis, Stu Needle, Mark Wolkow, and myself.
Our Mission is simple and straight forward: To promote an engaging and living Judaism
through learning.
Our Vision is strong: We envision a culture where our congregants will seek answers, discover new
areas, find relaxed & serious study on both Jewish tradition & religious or non-religious topics.
Our Goals are reaching:
Expand membership & grow our congregation
Offer diverse programs
Create value that will engage the congregation
Offer Judaism as a richer part of people’s lives
Engage the congregation to inspire a deeper purpose
Creating a Jewish relevance/making Judaism meaningful
To make all this happen, we have much work in front of us. Communication of adult
education opportunities is vital. Development of our webpage, leveraging our Facebook
pages (public & private), and selected e-mail flashes are all part of our plan. However, for
congregation relevancy to happen, communication, and feedback from all of you, are
essential.
I urged anyone who has said to themselves, “I would love to have a class in…” or “wouldn’t it be
interesting to learn more about…” or “Now that I have more time on my hands, …”, to send me that
thought last month. I reiterate here.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with your Adult Ed committee
at adulted@templeadasshalom.org. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Our offering this month is a collaboration with the Jewish National Fund. A Virtual
Tour of Israel. Please locate the flyer in this newsletter. It has a lot of details. It’s an
excellent opportunity to visit Israel on your couch!
Stay healthy and stay safe!
Sincerely,
Stephen Marksamer
Chairperson – Temple Adas Shalom Adult Education

Fundraising Co-Chair News
Terry Weiner & Randi Chancey
Good morning, afternoon or evening (depending upon when you read this)!
Allow me to introduce myself as one half of the fundraising leadership for
Temple Adas Shalom. My name is Terry Weiner and my partner in this
is Randi Chancey. Our mission is to raise funds for our synagogue during
the coming year and needless to say, this will definitely be challenging.
So with that being said, this is our game plan.
Our hope is to have a virtual Chinese Auction fundraiser on November 1,
2020, which also happens to be the “bye” week for the Ravens. You may
ask, what is a Chinese Auction???? First, a person needs to purchase
tickets for a certain dollar amount. Then they use the ticket to purchase
a chance to win a certain item. In the case of a virtual auction, we will
put your name on the tickets that you buy and place them on the list for
the items that you would like to bid on. Then the names are thrown in a
basket and one of the names is drawn – they are the winner!
This will be a great time to go shopping from the comfort of your home
for gifts for the holidays. We are asking for your help in this – if you or
someone you know has a business that would donate either goods, gift
certificates or better yet, money, please let us know so we can contact
them for a donation. In the meantime, we are contacting over 100
vendors in the area to help us to raise funds so that we can continue the
good work that we do for our congregation as well as our community.
Also, please let us know if you have any ideas that you would like to see
us get involved with to help raise much needed funds for our Temple. In
the meantime, we will be posting the donations that come in sometime
in September/October along with details on how to purchase tickets for
the auction. If you have any other questions, please contact us at
fundraising@templeadasshalom.org.

Kehillah MAGNET Message
Joel Yoffee & Jill Young
Hello Temple Adas Shalom Community,
We hope everyone is continuing to stay safe at home!
Parents, due to the spread of COVID-19, Kehillah MAGNET has decided to
commence with virtual only learning through the end of the first school
semester. Additional guidance will be forthcoming by Jenn Bober, our school
Principal.
Are you a parent of a child in the Kehillah MAGNET Religious school? Would
you like the opportunity to invest in your child’s Jewish education? The
Kehillah MAGNET Religious School Committee needs several parents to join
and have a voice in the planning of student events and projects. Time
commitment is usually one meeting every three months. Your help would be
much appreciated! For additional information, please contact the Religious
School Committee Chair, Joel Yoffee, at joelyoffee@gmail.com.
If not already completed. Just another friendly reminder to current parents to
please complete the Kehillah MAGNET 2020-2021 school year registration
packet that the office emailed to all parents.
Fellow congregants, if you have a child or know of a family with children who
would be interested in knowing more about their Jewish heritage, Kehillah
MAGNET might be the learning environment for them. The Religious school
has openings at all grade levels, and we would love the opportunity to discuss
our Jewish educational programs with all those interested. Please contact Jenn
Bober, Principal (principal@templeadasshalom.org), for additional information.
Parents, as always, answering your questions and concerns about Temple Adas
Shalom’s Kehillah MAGNET Religious School Program is something
fundamental to us, and we would love the opportunity to talk directly with
you. You always have a voice!
Joel Yoffee
Kehillah MAGNET Chair

Gabriel Bradford Sober & Tyler Aston Sober
Jason and Tracy Sober are delighted to welcome friends, family, and the
Temple Adas Shalom Community to the long-awaited B’nai Mitzvah of
Tyler and Gabriel. Due to being close in age and a late start in Religious
School, the boys decided to share this Mitzvah.
Tyler is a sophomore at Fallston High School and is in advanced placement
classes. Tyler plays cello for the orchestra, participates on the Academic
Team, and is on the Fallston High School Tennis Team. Tyler enjoys Xbox
gaming with his friends, likes reading fantasy novels, and has an eclectic
taste in music. He enjoys music from the ’70s, 80’s, and 90’s as well as
classical music. He is quite witty and acerbic (this has gotten him in
trouble at times with unsuspecting teachers). Tyler hasn’t determined his
career path yet, but we know whatever he chooses, he will be successful.
Gabriel is an 8th-grade honor roll student in advanced placement classes at
Fallston Middle School. He is extroverted, loves animals, and plans to
become a Veterinarian. Our family Vet invited him for an observation day,
and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Gabe had hoped to start
volunteering at the Humane Society, but due to COVID-19, that is on hold
for now. He built a custom gaming PC and enjoys VR games and 3D
printing. Gabe’s sense of humor is remarkable, and he loves to make people
laugh.
Over the years, the boys have shared many common interests. They
achieved their black belts in Tae Kwon Do and spent many summers going
to swim and tennis camps together. Both enjoy daredevil activities such as
fast water park rides, roller coasters, zip-lining, ATV riding, and snow
skiing. Like most siblings, they have their moments, but the one thing they
always agree on playing with Bear, our two-year-old NewfyPoo. Our
16 | P a g e
extended-family trips to St. Croix and Costa Rica were incredible
experiences for them. They are always up for new adventures and have been
asking when can we take our next big trip and where are we going?
We are immensely proud of their accomplishments and dedication to
becoming part of the Jewish Community. A virtual B’Nai Mitzvah is not
what any of us envisioned when we embarked on this journey, but life does
not always turn out as expected. COVID-19 has forced us out of the Shul
and onto the internet, but it cannot take away our pride and joy in seeing
our boys receive their Tallit and read from the Torah. The pandemic has
taught them a valuable life lesson of adapting and persevering to achieve
your goals.
Tyler and Gabriel would like to thank their religious school teachers and
staff for helping them learn Hebrew and about Judaism in preparation for
today and their lives in the Jewish Community. Special thanks to Rabbi
Franken, Mark Wolkow, Sophie Schorr, Lauren Westendorf, and Mike
Mullis for their patience and dedication to helping them prepare for this
milestone.
