President's Message
by Paul Korn
The 35th Annual Meeting of
Congregation Beth Adam was held on
Sunday, April 26, the culmination of an
extremely successful and unpredictable
year. For those who weren’t able to
attend, what follows is a summary of the
votes, updates, and presentations that
were made during a very full meeting. If
you have questions about the meeting,
please feel free to give me a call.
Maureen Cash, Chair of the Governance
Committee, began her presentation
with a bit of congregational history.
She explained that several years ago,
with the help of an outside consultant,
the Board reviewed and revised the
congregation’s governance structure. It
was as a result of that work that a review
of the bylaws began. In order to make
the bylaws consistent with the revised
governance structure, as well as to
update them, changes were necessary.
A vote for the proposed changes to the
bylaws was called for and approved,
and these changes are now available for
JUNE 2015
JULY 2015
review on the members-only section of
Beth Adam’s website.
Renee Gottliebson, Chair of the
Nominating Committee, thanked
departing Board members Mike
Goldman and myself. As a former
president, however, I will remain on
the Board as a nonvoting member.
Renee also thanked the members of
the committee who developed the slate
of candidates for the Board. She then
presented the slate of nominees for
the next Board term – Josh Sands, Joy
Weinberg, and Rebecca Luzadis (second
term) – all of whom were approved.
In a bittersweet moment, Rabbi Baum
expressed her thoughts and feelings
in regards to serving, and leaving,
Beth Adam. She has appreciated
the opportunities offered to her at
the congregation and said that even
though she is leaving she will still value
and feel a part of this community.
But this was not to be a final farewell,
as Rabbi Baum will be returning in
September to participate in Beth Adam’s
Rosh Hashanah Services. It was then
announced that an inscription in Rabbi
Baum’s honor will be added to the
Reflections Wall.
Next, Rabbi Barr thanked the Jewish
Foundation of Cincinnati on behalf of
Beth Adam for a very generous 3-yeargrant. He reviewed the major project
areas of the grant: Adult Education,
Youth Education, Israeli Connections,
Local Community Connections, and
Infrastructure. Within each area
there are multiple projects designed
to enhance the services Beth Adam
provides as well as to provide online
materials for those in Greater Cincinnati
and beyond. Rabbi Barr is excited by
the opportunities the grant presents
to the congregation to strengthen and
expand our program. He noted that
achieving the goals of the grant requires
work and encouraged everyone to help
by attending and promoting our new
events, utilizing and sharing our new
online resources and if asked to help,
say yes.
Tim Coyle, Treasurer, and Roberta
Veleta, Executive Director, then
presented an overview of Beth Adam’s
finances. They were pleased to
announce that as a result of conservative
financial stewardship and generous gifts
and grants, we are in the best financial
shape in our history. They made clear
that Beth Adam is on sound financial
footing, which allows for – and requires
– thoughtful planning on how to invest
and allocate financial resources for
PAGE 2
future use.
Once again they reported that Beth
Adam’s Annual Contribution Campaign
was a significant piece of our annual
operating budget and once again met
its goal. They thanked everyone who
supported the congregation this year.
As we look forward to the coming
congregational year our outlook is
strong. While Rabbi Baum’s departure
brings change, Rabbi Barr observed
that one of Beth Adam’s strengths has
been our ability to meet change with
integrity, creativity, and bold thinking.
Given Rabbi Baum’s departure, it was
natural for members of the Board to
consider whether or not to begin a
rabbinic search to replace her, and it
was determined that now is not the time.
Such an undertaking necessitates much
forethought and planning. Continuing
a practice Beth Adam had embraced
prior to Rabbi Baum’s hiring, we will
welcome two rabbinic interns from the
Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of
Religion. Rabbinic interns bring their
own special energy and excitement,
and we are delighted to have that in our
congregation once again.
An important part of solidifying our
future is building an endowment to
provide long-term financial stability.
Our inclusion in the Create Your Jewish
Legacy (CYJL) program, sponsored by
the Jewish Federation and Foundation, is
providing the framework for endowment
development through legacy gifts. You
will probably be contacted by a CYJL
team member in the next 18 months
to discuss your intentions regarding
including Beth Adam in your estate plan.
All legacy gifts, large and small, help to
ensure that our vibrant institution is here
for future generations.
We are a strong community that
shares a meaningful and important
mission, vision, and a set of values.
Our membership is our strength and a
significant resource. Talk about Beth
Adam with your friends. Attend our
events. Contribute to the ACC. Complete
a CYJL Letter of Intent. Volunteer. Help
us to continue to be the important,
worldwide, progressive Jewish voice that
we have become.
In closing, Rabbi Barr did take a few
minutes to address a question on
many peoples’ minds – his retirement.
Some thought that his retirement was
imminent and that with Rabbi Baum’s
departure the congregation was going
to be left without a rabbi. On the
contrary, Rabbi Barr made it clear that
he is not planning to retire anytime
soon. Though he acknowledged that he
will turn 60 this summer, he explained
that while he will retire someday, that
day is a long way off.
As for my departure from the Board,
it has been an honor to serve as
your President and to have had the
opportunity to work with the brilliant
Beth Adam Leadership Team.

dozens of farm animals from Honey Hill
Farms: sheep, goats, an alpaca with
a fresh haircut, ducks, bunnies, and
especially the ponies.
are very proud of their generosity and
desire to help those in need.
We are looking for a few teachers for
next year’s Religious School session.
New teachers will be provided with an
orientation and curriculum overview,
plus plenty of support from Sarah
Strouse and Iah Pillsbury. Please contact
Rabbi Barr if you are interested.
At the assembly, we expressed thanks
for all the hard work of this past
year and warm wishes for upcoming
journeys. With several new families in
our school, several new B’nei Mitzvah,
and several new learning opportunities,
we have learned so much together.
Our wonderful teachers have shown
great care for our students this year:
Mike Pittinger, Lisa Forschner, Melissa
Weiss, Jessica Bledsoe, Sandy Griffin,
Joy Weinberg, and Marcie and Jerald
Rosenston. We also gave a special
thanks to Leah Citrin, our music teacher,
who was ordained in May and is starting
her rabbinate in North Carolina. We
bid a fond farewell to Rabbi Baum, who
has enhanced our school and entire
community so much over the last nine
years. Here’s wishing everyone a fun and
safe summer vacation. More Religious
School information will be in our next
newsletter, including dates and details
about upcoming events.
Students also shared news about the
tzedakah money each class has raised for
a donation to a charity of their choice.
Working together, students raised over
one hundred dollars with tzedakah
collections which will go to charities
including the Cincinnati Children’s
Hospital Medical Center, The Green
Acres Foundation, and the Make a Wish
Foundation to help repair our world. We

the Beth Adam website by September 1.
Remember you will need the username

ONLINE MEMORIAL SERVICE
Memory is a central part of the High
Holidays. In particular, Yom Kippur
afternoon provides an important time
to remember those who are no longer
living. This year Beth Adam and
OurJewishCommunity.org will again
offer an online memorial service. The
brief service will go online on Yom
Kippur afternoon (September 23) and
will be available for viewing after that
date as well.
Like the Beth Adam Yom Kippur
Memorial Service, there will be an
opportunity for you to remember your
loved ones in the online service. While
at Beth Adam we read the names of
deceased relatives, the online service
will allow us to feature names and
photographs in a slide show. The online
service will also include readings from
Beth Adam’s liturgy, read by Rabbi Barr.
Please submit a photograph to the office
if there is someone special you would
like to remember this Yom Kippur by
including their picture in our online
memorial service. Photographs can be
emailed to Admin@BethAdam.org by
September 1 or mailed to the office by
August 25. Please send only one photo
for each person you are remembering,
and please include his or her name so
that we can provide a caption. Hard
copy photographs will be returned. If
you submitted a photo last year and
would like it included this year, please
email the name of the person to
Admin@BethAdam.org.
The online memorial service is open not
only to Beth Adam members, but also
to anyone around the world. Please
ask others who might be interested in
participating to visit
www.OurJewishCommunity.org.

Thank You
From Rabbi Laura Baum
I’m one lucky rabbi. I’ve been in
my dream job in the most amazing
community for the last nine years, first
as a Rabbinic Intern and then for seven
years as an ordained Rabbi.
As I’ve said many times over the last
few months, I am still not ready to say
goodbye. What I want to say instead
is thank you, as I have so much to be
grateful for. I’ve worked with the most
incredible team: Rabbi Barr, Roberta
Veleta, and wonderful lay leaders.
I’ve been able to be part of so many
PAGE 6
of your lives. You’ve let me teach and
learn alongside you. Together we’ve
questioned and explored, grappled
and debated. We’ve engaged deeply
with Judaism. We’ve been creative and
seen ourselves as part of the ongoing
unfolding of the Jewish experience.
With your support, we’ve built an
extraordinary global outreach initiative
through OurJewishCommunity.org,
and changed the lives of so many Jews
around the world. So, thank you all for
being a part of this community along
with me.
Thank you as well for the Shabbat
service in my honor on May 8 and
for the inscription on the Beth Adam
reflections wall.
As I said in my letter to the congregation
in February, I’m excited about my new
opportunities in Boston, but also sad
to leave the Beth Adam community
behind. I’m thrilled that I’ll maintain
a connection to Beth Adam and
OurJewishCommunity.org and that I’ll
be on the pulpit this Rosh Hashanah
to welcome the New Year with all of
you. I look forward to seeing you in
September. Until then, thank you.
News & Events
Steen Metz, a Holocaust Survivor,
Shares His Story
Sunday, September 27, 9:30 AM
Beth Adam, in community partnership
with The Center for Holocaust and
Humanity Education, is honored to
welcome Steen Metz on Sunday,
September 27 at 9:30 AM to share his
experiences and unique perspective.
A native of Denmark, Metz was arrested
along with his parents and sent to
Theresienstadt in 1943 when he was
only 8 years old. Though one of some
15,000 children to pass through the
concentration camp, Metz is among the
less than 1,500 who survived. His father
died of starvation within six months,
while Metz and his mother endured until
their liberation in April of 1945.
Though private regarding his
imprisonment for many years, Metz
is now passionate about sharing his
experiences because, as he states on
his website, “the number of Holocaust
survivors dwindles each year, thus
young and old people alike may have
less of a chance to hear a first-hand
account of the Holocaust.” He has
spoken with more than 130 groups and
impacted more than 12,000 people
with the story of his survival. Metz is
especially driven to share his story with
young people so that future generations
“never forget” the horrors of the
Holocaust.
On Purpose with Vic Strecher
Sunday, October 25, 9:30 AM
After the death of his 19-year-old
daughter, Vic Strecher’s grief drove
him to truly examine how we live,
and how we can live better. Strecher
is an educator, author, and Professor/
Director for Innovation and Social
Entrepreneurship at the University of
Michigan School of Public Health. He
believes that individuals who live with
purpose lead fuller, longer, healthier
lives. His journey is documented and
expanded upon in his book, On Purpose,
which is part self-help guide, part
college lecture, part confessional, and
part time-travel adventure.
Congregation Beth Adam is excited to
welcome Strecher to share his wisdom
and insight into living richly and with
purpose on Sunday, October 25 at 9:30
AM. His talk will be followed by a Q & A
session.
Create Your Jewish Legacy
by Mindy Hammer
This last month I attended my daughter
Sara’s graduation from college. I was
proud of what she has achieved and
marveled in her desire to begin the
next phase of her life. Her journey may
be bumpy, but my husband and I will
always be there to support her. As I
PAGE 7
was thinking about her future, I also
reflected on the lasting impact that I
wanted to make in the world in which I
live.
Beth Adam became an integral part of
my family’s life soon after we moved to
Cincinnati more than 20 years ago. Both
my children went through our Religious
School and had a B’nei Mitzvah, and my
husband and I continue to participate in
our fantastic adult education programs
as often as we can.
It’s up to each of us to ensure that Beth
Adam will continue to thrive and be
there to support generations to come. I
will be designating Beth Adam as one of
my beneficiaries through an IRA. I hope
you will consider making a legacy gift to
Beth Adam, as well.
Members who have committed to
making a legacy gift and are now
members of Beth Adam’s Dor L’Dor
Legacy Circle include:
Rabbi Laura Baum
Alan and Christie Brown
Maureen Cash
Harriet Edwards
M. James Ellis
Carolyn Gilbert
Ken Goode
Pat and Rich Rosenberg

Building Updates
Don’t be surprised when you drive by
the building this summer and things
look a little different. The parking lot
and driveways will have a fresh coat
of blacktop applied and the roof is
being replaced. The anticipated date
for work to begin is early August, with
completion in plenty of time for the
High Holidays and the start of Religious
School in September.
The Finance committee anticipated these
inevitable repairs, and funds have been
set aside each year to cover the expense.
So, when you see the work trucks and
workers in the parking lot, know that all
is well and the building and grounds are
being taken care of.
Volunteer Opportunities
Do you like music? Volunteer hosts/
hostesses are needed for the 2015-16
Encore! Linton concert series. This is
an opportunity to hear world-class
musicians perform in our sanctuary.
The music of Mozart, Beethoven, and
Brahms may be familiar, while pieces
by Stravinsky, Schumann, and Spohr
may be new to you. Either way, they are
delightful.
The Encore! concerts are on Monday
evenings. They begin at 7:30 PM and
end at about 9:15 PM. The volunteer
host/hostess welcomes concert goers,
helps them find open seats, and assists
PAGE 9
with refreshments at intermission.
The planned dates for the 2015-16 season
are: October 12, November 9, March 7,
April 18, and May 9.
Please contact Executive
Director Roberta Veleta, at
(513) 985-0400 or at
ExecDirector@BethAdam.org to
volunteer.
