Youth & Family
Pirkei Avot for Teens
With Dahlia Schwartz
April 18, 25 and May 2 at 11:00 a.m.
A lively discussion for teens and older tweens: Around 2000 years ago,
the most learned rabbis gave advice on everything from what sort of
people you should hang out with to the most important values for
living your life. Can their advice help us to live in today’s world? What
do we do with religious texts that today seem outdated? Together, we’ll
discuss, debate, and decide how relevant this ancient advice is for us
today. Questions? Contact Rabbi Rubenstein at ravsteven@cbahm.org

or zabelelectric@comcast.net
Part One: Tuesday, April 28: The Shunamite and Elisha
The Shunamite woman’s dedication to the prophet Elisha takes several dramatic turns over the course of many years. Her
independence and strength teach us not only about her as an individual but also open up questions about the role of women
in public society in ancient Israel.
Part Two -Tuesday, May 26: Tamar’s Deception
Telling the truth may be the best policy, but the Tanakh contains several stories in which deception is used by a weaker party
to obtain results. We’ll explore Tamar’s deception of Judah, the danger involved, and her ultimate triumph.
Part Three - June 30: Rahav in Jericho
Before the ‘walls came tumbling down’, two Israelite spies encounter Rahav, a non-Jewish prostitute within the walls of
Jericho. Is it true dedication or opportunism that has her side with the Israelites? Jewish tradition will trace her story long after
the Battle of Jericho.

Minyan Matters
Message from the President
An Invitation To Experience Shabbat Minha - All Welcome!
Dear friends,
I’d like to invite you to join us for a weekly service with which many are unfamiliar: Shabbat minha (afternoon). Now that we are back on
Daylight Savings Time, we are davening Shabbat minha at 5 p.m. on Saturdays. I would like to encourage you to consider joining Rabbi
Rubenstein, Howie Lupovitch, me, and our other Shabbat afternoon regulars, to experience Shabbat minha, perhaps for the very first
time – a beautiful service with its own unique prayer melody (nusah) and ambience.
For those who are not already familiar with Shabbat minha: it begins with Ashrei and Hatzi Kaddish, followed by a brief Torah service
(consisting of the first aliyah from next week’s Torah portion, divided into three aliyot), the Amidah (individually and then repeated by the
person leading the service), Aleinu and Mourner’s Kaddish.
At the conclusion of the Shabbat minha Torah service, before the Torah is returned to the ark, we recite the special memorial prayer
“El Malei Rahamim” for any yahrzeit which is being observed that day
Drop In and Learn on DVD
or during the coming week, if a yahrzeit observer is present. This can
be especially important for those who have yahrzeit during the week
Wednesdays at 1 p.m. in the Teen Lounge
but are not able to attend an early morning minyan service on the
Free and open to the community
actual day of the yahrzeit.
no reservations needed, all welcome
Shabbat minha runs about 30 minutes. Following minha Rabbi
Spring - Summer Schedule will include:
Rubenstein leads a brief Torah study session (less than 5 minutes)
“The Story of the Jews” with Simon Schama
in lieu of ma’ariv, followed by a reading of the yahrzeit names for the
(5-part series shown on PBS)
coming day; then mourners, those observing yahrzeit, and anyone
else who wishes to participate stand to recite kaddish derabbanan
“Jerusalem” with Ray Suarez (2-part series shown on PBS)
(the kaddish for Torah study).
“Hollywood and the Jews” with Professor Howard Lupovitch
I hope many will take the opportunity to be part of our Shabbat minha
(4-part series presented at Beth Ahm in July 2014)
kehilla at Beth Ahm this spring and over the summer. As always, I
“Jewish Philosophy Matters” with Professor Howard Lupovitch
welcome hearing from you with any questions, comments or

TIKKUN OLAM SOCIAL ACTION TEAM (TOSAT) – Dedicated to Improving the World
Having just celebrated Pesach, we remember the privileges that freedom brings like being with family and friends, and of course good
food. We also remember those less fortunate in our community. A big thank you to everyone who sent a Passover donation to Yad Ezra. We
support this essential agency throughout the year with our appeals for cash donations, donations of food and the delivery of groceries to
their clients who are unable to come to the agency themselves. Many thanks to our recent volunteers: Nancy and Jeff Adler, Sharon Kapit,
Beverly Fradis and Hadas Bernard.
TOSAT is also proud to have made a donation to the Experiencia Preparatory Academy in Detroit to purchase books at Bookstock. This
past year congregant Risha Ring has been acting director of this charter school that primarily serves disadvantaged children. Our donation
supports “one of our own”, a school in great need of books, and Bookstock.

Message from the Rabbi
Creating the Jewish Future
He was voicing his concern, his angst about the Jewish future. It was an honest statement, one that many
people at Beth Ahm might voice themselves. In spite of his efforts to live a Jewish life, educate his children,
participate in Jewish community, he worried—what is going to happen to the next generation of Jews? It is
a reasonable question. After all, we all have concerns about The State of Israel, growing Anti-Semitism in
Europe, and the challenges to Jewish identity and meaning that we face here in the United States. The angst
that I sometimes hear expressed is a serious one, borne out of a place of deep meaning within people’s
hearts. What is going to become of the Jewish people?
It is a hard question to answer, but it is certainly not the first time that it has been asked. Simon
Rawidowicz once called the Jews, ‘the ever dying people,’ in an attempt to describe our concern that
disaster will overtake us. But if we have often been concerned about the Jewish future, we have had cause.
Throughout our history, we have faced serious challenges to our survival, both physical and spiritual. Fortunately, we have been blessed
with leaders who have helped us face those challenges. Each one faced it in his or her own way. The Maccabees took up the sword in
defense of Jewish sovereignty. Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakai showed us how to transform Jewish life after the destruction of the Temple. Rashi
became the teacher that we needed so that we could learn Torah. Maimonides helped us find a path between Greek and Muslim
philosophy and Jewish tradition. Not to mention the various ways that modern Zionists helped create the State of Israel—some through
bravery in battle, others through the settling of the land, and still others through diplomacy. In each generation, the Jewish people needed
something different, and in each generation new leaders arose. More than that, the Jewish people rose to the challenge. Ultimately, it is we,
the Jewish people who are called to live Jewish lives, the beauty and the challenge of that life. Of course, those who feel connected to the
Jewish people and Jewish life are more apt to feel concern for the Jewish future. So what should we do?
I wish I had all of the answers to lead us into the Jewish future. Instead, I have only a few words of advice for you. While there are many
ways that Jews have divided themselves up into groups, there may only be two kinds of Jews—serious Jews and not-so-serious Jews. I
am not the first to suggest this, but I have always found it instructive. If you care about the future of the Jewish people, take yourself
seriously, as a Jew. The Jewish future has always depended on those Jews who felt responsible for that future. Take on that responsibility
and live the Jewish life that you hope to see in the future. To paraphrase a bit, our tradition says, it is not your responsibility to complete the
task, but neither are you free from participating in the task.

Summer Sermon Series
Bet Midrash
Bet Midrash Shabbat with Rabbi Rubenstein
Saturday, May 16
“The Sabbatical Year/Shemita”
The Torah teaches that every seven years, a series of laws go
into effect in the Land of Israel which impact agriculture and the
economy in far-reaching ways. We’ll discuss how these ancient
ideas speak to the contemporary world and touch on issues of
land use, rest, and social responsibility.
Special Bet Midrash Shabbat Schedule
No Torah study – Shaharit begins at 9:00 a.m.
Bet Midrash will begin at the conclusion of services
(approximately 11:00 a.m.).
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to dive into
Jewish learning and to share some of that learning with
the congregation. Rabbi Rubenstein is happy to help you
learn the Torah portion of the week and mentor you as you
craft a sermon. You have the ability to deliver an important
message to our community, sharing both what you have
learned as well as a part of yourself. Our Summer Sermon
Series will take place on the following Shabbatot:
June 20 Parashat Korah
July 4 Parashat Balak
August 1 Parashat Va’ethanan
If you have questions or would like to sign up to deliver one
of these sermons, please contact Rabbi Rubenstein
at 248-851-6880 or ravsteven@cbahm.org
Young Adult Shabbat Celebration
Friday, May 8 beginning at 6 p.m.

Open to the community.
No charge but RSVPs are required by May 5.

Message from the President
As I write this, still sated from two lovely seders with family and friends, and two days of leftovers, I am looking
forward to an exciting series of events at Beth Ahm. First, of course, is our annual gala on April 26. I hope to
see as many of you as possible that evening. We’ll have a chance to nosh and kibbitz, and celebrate our shul’s
accomplishments over the past decade.
The most recent of those accomplishments, the renovation of our sanctuary, will begin in mid-May and be
ready in time for Rosh Hashanah. Very shortly, you will be able to see renderings of the renovation, designed by
our own Dina Kawer and Sari Blackman. Dina, of course, has designed two other holy spaces in our shul, the
Kahan Memorial Room and the Tauber Chapel (as well as the Teen Lounge). The design for the sanctuary will
tie together all three of these holy spaces. Thanks to your generosity, our sanctuary will continue to be, as it has
always been, a warm, comforting space for our community to gather and celebrate Shabbat and holidays.
We will not have the sanctuary available for Shavuot, which begins less than a week after the renovation begins, but plans are underway
nonetheless for a festive celebration, including our tikkun leil Shavuot, with learning sessions led by Rabbi Rubenstein and Professor
Howard Lupovitch.
We have been increasing our joint programming with other Conservative congregations over the last couple of years, in recognition that we
are part of a larger community. We have had two very successful years of joint Purim celebrations. Last fall, we cosponsored our scholar in
residence program with Adat Shalom, featuring Professor Jeffrey Rubenstein from NYU. On Friday, June 12, we reciprocate, cosponsoring
Chancellor Arnold Eisen of The Jewish Theological Seminary at Adat Shalom. Chancellor Eisen is a compelling speaker, a dynamic leader
and one of the brightest intellectual lights of the Conservative movement. It is an honor for us to cosponsor his visit to our community. I
hope you’ll join us at Adat Shalom for services, dinner, and Chancellor Eisen’s presentation.
I look forward to seeing you at these events, and on Shabbat. Remember, if you have any questions, comments, ideas, or concerns, you
can e-mail me any time at jsilver@cbahm.org
L’shalom,
Jeff Silver
President

Jews on the Small Screen with Professor Howard Lupovitch
Tuesdays in July at 7:30 p.m.
For more than half a century, Jewish characters and themes have appeared on television, sometimes at the heart of a program and
other times in the background. In this series, we explore through video clips and readings not only where Jews have appeared but
what the Jewish presence on television reflects about the complex relationship between America Jews
and American culture.
July 7: From Absent to Invisible: the Mainstreaming of Jews on Television
Older television shows included Jews only rarely, and then often as exotic friends or visitors;
eventually Jewish characters became the center of plot and controversy. A measure of this change is the
way intermarriage was once treated as a source of tension and discomfort but eventually became part of
the backdrop.
July 14: Criminalizing Anti-Semitism
From older shows like the Twilight Zone to more recent shows like Law & Order, Anti-Semitism has been
used a trope to show moral failure and the struggle of mainstream American culture to eliminate it and
other forms of prejudice.
July 21: Laughing at Jews, Laughing with Jews
How have television shows manage to present Jewish mannerisms and quirks in a way that is funny and
sometimes even irreverent but rarely offensive?
July 28: Beyond the Yiddishe Mama
The depiction of female Jewish characters on television reflected the changing image of women from the stereotypical Mrs. Goldberg
to the stronger, more independent women like Rachel Menken on Mad Men and Ziva David on NCIS.

Thank you to the Rabbi,

for your condolences
and words of comfort.

Help us make it a regular part of Beth Ahm’s Shabbat
culture. Volunteers are needed during the week and
on Shabbat morning to assist with lunch preparations.
Tasks include making kugel, cutting fruit, preparing
salads, plating deserts and Shabbat set-up and
clean-up. Contact Elayne Moss at hije@aol.com
to volunteer.
Financial assistance is also needed to make lunch
possible. Honor the memory of a loved one or
celebrate a simcha by becoming a sponsor or
co-sponsor of an upcoming lunch.
Contact David Goodman at
248-851-6880 or dgoodman@cbahm.org
for more information.
