About the Hazzan
Aleck Bratt, Sophie Shapiro, Moriah Abrams, Joel Gutovitz and Grant Sander contributed to J-Serve at the community garden behind B'nai Jehudah.
The Community Tisha B’Av service will be held Monday, July 15, 8:15 pm, in Goldsmith Hall at CBS. Minchah and Ma’ariv will be followed by Community Rabbinic Teachings and the reading of Eikhah, The Book of Lamentations. The service is sponsored by the Rab-binic Association of Kansas City.
Below is an excerpt from a congregational email by Rabbi William Gershon of Congregation Shearith Israel, Dallas, Texas, who attended the recent ordination ceremony at Jewish Theological Seminary. “Each student was called forward
to the Beit Din (a rabbinical court of three rabbis) to be presented by a mentor. Some were presented by rabbis they had worked with in internships during their rabbinical school years, some were presented by the Dean of the School, some were presented by a rabbi they had grown up with, and some by their fathers who are rabbis. For me there were
two moving moments that surpassed all others. The first was the ordination of a cantor, Tahl Ben-Yehuda, whose great-grandfather was Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the founder of the Modern Hebrew Language. Tahl was presented by her father, Rabbi Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. As her father spoke to her in Hebrew with words graced by warmth and love, there was not a dry eye in the audience. We were all witnessing a unique moment in Jewish history and in the continuity of the Jewish people.”

Welcome to Hazzan Tahl Ben-Yehuda
Jewish Adult Education Opportunities
Fall Hebrew Classes—Sign up at Johnson County Community College Fall Semester.
Parashat Hashavua Class—July 20
It gives me such pleasure to welcome Hazzan Tahl Ben-Yehuda, and her daughters Eliana and Sarah, into our congregational family. Though she officially begins work on July 1st, her arrival is the culmination of years of planning. Over a year before I was hired, you, the congregants, embarked on a strategic planning initiative that helped identify the core values of Congregation Beth Shalom. Those core values were Community, Educa-tion and Spirituality. Hiring Hazzan Tahl Ben-Yehuda as our Director of Congrega-tional Learning is the latest step in this strategic plan. When we were crafting this job description, we didn’t know if it was possible to find just the right combination of educational vision,
passion for Jewish spirituality and musical talent. We feel blessed to make the match with Hazzan Tahl. We know that we will all grow from her talents and inspiration, and we hope that this will be a place where
The Hazzan will be providing vision for our Polsky Religious School. We will be working toward opportunities for families of all ages to come together to celebrate Jewish moments together. The skills she will bring to our synagogue are the most important ingredients to Hazzan Tahl’s success. The passion, energy and voices we all bring to shul will add to her success. Please add your voice in welcoming Hazzan Tahl and her family. Shalom,
Kick off the fall season Sunday, August 11 as we join Rabbi David Glickman, Hazzan Tahl Ben-Yehuda and their families at our “Back to Shul” picnic! The event begins at 11:30 a.m. A bounce house that will include a water feature (wear swim-suits!) will be wet and wild at 11:30 am to entertain the youth! Hot dogs, hamburgers and sides will be served at 12 pm. $10 per person. Please see the link on our
website for further details. Reservations are due Monday, August 5. The Men’s Club is cooking for this event and encourages congregants to join our festivities. If you are inter-ested in helping with the event, please let Stefanie know. For more information, contact Stefanie Williams at [email protected] or 913-647-7269.

The meeting of the Children of Israel is called to order. There will be no D’var Torah because it has not yet been written. The
regular business will be dispensed with in favor of a special presentation from Moses, who is new to our community. “Thank you. The Lord, the God of your fathers, has remembered you, and will bring you out of Egypt into the land flowing with milk and honey. I have come to you, the elders of Israel to ask for your support as I go before Pharaoh.” “Wait a minute, Moses. How much will this cost? We don’t have money in our treasury, slave salaries being what they are. How do we know that you won’t go over the budget? Where will we raise the money for the trip to Canaan - assuming we will get out of Egypt?’’ “Have faith, my people. If we
are dedicated, if we have a wholeheart-ed commitment, then the money will be found.” “Sorry Moses, we can’t run this organization on pious hopes. We find your budgeting procedures inadequate. The Finance Committee has turned down your project, and we agree. You will just have to wait until we have a budget surplus before you can take us out of here.” And so, Moses went back into the desert and was never heard from again. It is my hope that when you commit your membership to CBS, you will do so knowing that this synagogue will never turn down a request from a present day Moses. We are going for-ward this year with a balanced budget. Your dues commitment allows us to provide the services that you expect from a full service synagogue 365 days a year and for this we wholeheartedly say thank you.
Sisterhood Book Club will meet Wednesday, July 10 at 7:00 pm at Gayle Ranen’s home. Discuss the adventures of art restorer and Israeli spy in The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva. For further details or to be added to the email list, contact Rowena Turk at 913-649-7098 or at [email protected].

While many of our PRS students are enjoying their summer vacations at Barney Goodman or Herzl or Ramah, the 2013-14 school year is already beginning for our religious school staff. In the school office, Patti Kroll and Amy Jacobson are busy taking book and school supply inventories, going over staffing needs, classroom numbers and collecting applications and health forms. Teachers are busy planning their upcoming year’s curriculum. This month we will highlight the kitah gimel (3rd grade) level so that our congregants know what is happening in their school. In addition to teaching students to decode Hebrew letters and vowel sounds and learn to blend these sounds into words, kitah gimel will
learn to write Hebrew in cursive. Our end-of-year goal is to associate new Hebrew words with their application in our prayer-based program. Other areas of study include tefil-lot (prayer)—our method of talking to God; Torah—God’s method of talking to us, and Jewish holidays—how we take those conversa-tions and physically insert them into our per-sonal lives. Included in all of our learning is an on-going
Preparations for the School Yearconversation based on questions that are asked in class throughout the year. Here are some questions to ask your child(ren) over the summer, leading up to Rosh Hashanah and the rest of the High Holy Days: What do you know about God?What do you wonder about God?If you could ask God one question and know it would be answered, what would it be? If you have a child or grandchild entering kitah gimel in September and have a question or two, please feel free to call me in the Ritual Office. Have a great summer.
Jill Goldstein, Ritual Office and PRS teacher
An enjoyable summer activity is reading with your kids! Remember to read with them as many times a day as is possible. Some reading suggestions are:
Summer Reading Activities with Your Kids
1. Underline the words with your finger as you read to your child.
2. Stop the story and let your child guess the ending or tell you in their own words what will happen in the story.
3. Ask your child what is his/her favorite picture in the book?
4. Ask for an alternative ending to the story.
5. Inquire if your child recognizes any letters or words in the story. Can he/she pick out the first letter of his name?
6. Is there an activity you can do around this story?
7. Books that are songs work well with younger children.
8. If you go on a vacation or fun day trip, make a book about it with your children dictating to you their interpretation of the adventure! Let them draw a picture of the adventure.
9. You can never read too much to your children! If they cannot sit long enough it is O. K. Read to them again later.
Enjoy helping your child develop literacy skills now! You are helping build a foundation for a love of reading, and good readers are successful in school!

Shabbat in a Pot--Chicken and Rice
Ingredients: 1 chicken cut into 6 pieces 1 ½ cups uncooked rice 1 tablespoon of onion soup mix ½-1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons dried spice mix of garlic & herb or chicken season-
ing 2 tablespoons paprika Water - about ¼ cup less water than the directions on the rice
package require for cooking 1 ½ cups rice
Preparation: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Spray a shallow baking pan with the cooking spray. 3. Place the uncooked rice in the pan and add the onion soup
mix. Mix together and spread out the rice to cover the bottom of the pan.
4. Place the chicken, skin side up, on top of the rice. 5. Sprinkle the chicken with the pepper, dried spice mix and
paprika, in that order. 6. Add the water to the pan. 7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil so that the pan is tightly
sealed. 8. Place the chicken in the hot oven and cook for about 1 hour
and 15 minutes. Check the chicken regularly to make sure that the rice isn't dry. If the rice is dry add some more water a tablespoon at a time.
9. Remove the foil for the last fifteen minutes of cooking in order to brown the chicken.
TIP: Make sure the chicken and rice are tightly covered so the steam stays in the pot and keeps the chicken moist.
July is a month of new beginnings. Both the congregation and sisterhood begin a new financial year. New congregation, USY and sisterhood officers begin their administrations. As you vacation or just “kick back” and relax over the summer, think about your commitment to our congregation and to our children. Not every commitment means giving more money to CBS. Commitment can also mean volunteering your time to help make our congregation be the best it can be. Think what a great example you can set for your children, grandchildren, friends and family by giving some of your time to our congregation.

The Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City will offer a community-wide course, “Judaism for Con-version Candidates” beginning in August. Rabbis from the Reform, Conservative and Orthodox movements will teach classes. Students will need to secure a congregational rabbinic sponsor by November 1 and meet the conversion requirements developed by their rabbinic sponsor. The course covers Jewish holidays, home celebra-tions, life cycle observances, rituals and prayer, Torah, Judaism’s view of God, and our religion’s movements. Each class will include a 30-minute Hebrew component. Stu-dents will take part in Shabbat and Havdalah experiences, holiday celebrations and observances. Classes will be Thursdays from 7:00-9:00 pm with
the location rotating among the congregations. An orienta-tion session is August 8, 7:30-8:30 pm at the Jewish Com-munity Campus. The fee for the course is $250 per person including course textbooks. For additional information or to register for this course, visit kcrabbis.org or contact An-nette Fish, Rabbinical Association Administrator/Program Director, at [email protected] or 913-327-4622. Aaron Nielsenshultz is the course coordinator and Rabbi Mark Levin is the Rabbinic coordinator. Funding for this program is generously provided by The Jewish Heritage Foundation of Greater Kansas City. If you know of anyone interested in attending these classes, please inform them.
