Temple Anshe Hesed Final Rabbi Search Committee Report Temple Anshe Hesed Board and Congregation Meeting

January 22, 2019

The Temple Anshe Hesed Rabbi Search Committee was commissioned by the Board of Directors in early September 2018 for the purpose of recruiting a solo Rabbi for our Synagogue. There are 16 members on our committee: Rochelle Krowinski, Chair Michele Bille, Vice Chair Shanna Hodgson Barbara Keim Rachel Kroner Steve Levy Yvonne Levy Bernie Maas Jan Mandel Jack Marcus Lisa Nathanson Craig Reynolds Barbara Shapira Ruth Waidley Janice Wittermershaus Kendra Zacks This committee has been meeting since September 23, 2018. We completed our application for a solo Rabbi and submitted it to the CCAR for posting on their website the beginning of October 2018. We received 5 resumes. On November 11, 2018, our committee met to review the resumes and voted to Skype interview with four of the candidates. We Skyped with two candidates on Tuesday November 27 and two candidates on Thursday November 29, 2018. Immediately following our last Skype interview on November 29, the committee voted to move ahead with three of the four Rabbis interviewed. We received references from the three candidates. The Search committee met December 9, 2018 to review and discuss the respective Rabbis references. As a result, we recommended to the Board that we bring these three Rabbis and their respective spouses, to Erie for on site interviews. The three candidates were: Rabbi Eric Mollo: visit dates to Erie were December 16-17, 2018 Rabbi Matthew Berger: visit dates to Erie were to be January 8-10, 2019. Rabbi Berger called the week before his visit to say he had accepted an offer else where so he was withdrawing his candidacy. Rabbi Robert Morais: visit dates to Erie were January 15-17, 2019. The Search Committee met January 20, 2019, for the purpose of discussing Rabbi Mollo and Rabbi Morais, and making a recommendation to the Board which was scheduled to meet at 7pm. The road conditions, and temperature made it difficult for many of our members to physically get to our meeting which was scheduled for 10am. So, we met electronically and had excellent discussion.

The Search Committee unanimously voted to recommend Rabbi Robert Morais to the Temple Anshe Hesed Board as our next Rabbi. Rabbi Morais comes to us with over 21 years of experience. He has served in both small congregations (60 families) and most recently large congregation of over 300 families. Rabbi Morais is divorced and has 4 children. His former wife and children live in Detroit. Rabbi Morais is currently involved in a serious relationship with a lady from Detroit. His references were excellent, and when he was here for his visit with us we experienced first hand his maturity, knowledge, warmth, ability to connect with people, and his sense of humor. He definitely embodied the qualities we addressed in our CCAR Application for Solo Rabbi as important to our congregation. These qualities are: We want a Rabbi who is spiritual, empathic, collaborative, warm, compassionate, and able to inspire; a Rabbi who understands that Judaism is not just a Jewish education, but rather a Jewish experience that will make Reform Judaism come alive in Erie, PA and the surrounding region. 2) We want a Rabbi who is a strong leader with the ability to bring families and individuals together including those who are interfaith and LGBTQ. Our Rabbi often serves as our representative at interfaith gathering, as a lecturer within our educational systems, and as a guest Rabbi for services at the Chautauqua Institute. 3) We want a Rabbi to teach our youth and adults Jewish education and religious practices, and, who has the ability to provide meaningful services based on the connection between traditional Jewish philosophies and contemporary issues. Rabbi Morais will be able to relate to congregants of all ages. Time and again he shared his love of teaching all ages and his love and continued interest with the youth. He has 20 years of experience with NFTY and camp and is currently on the faculty of the camp in Camp George. All of his references gave him strong recommendations when it came to education, adult and youth. Rabbi Morais will be easily accessible to congregants of all ages. He is a certified Jewish Spiritual Life Coach which is a wonderful skillset to bring to his rabbinate. Rabbi Morais has and does conduct Jewish marriage ceremonies for interfaith and LGBTQ couples. He does not participate in co-officiating in interfaith marriage ceremonies. In summary, Rabbi Morais brings a calm maturity, compassion, energy, and love of teaching both youth and adults. Additionally, he has excellent communication and interpersonal skills that will serve him well within our congregation and the community at large. His approach to programs is collaborative, creative and versatile. And, he has organizational experience working with boards, and supervising staff. He is aware of our current work with Rabbi David Wolfman, and sees this commitment by our board and congregation, to look forward by developing a strategic plan and conducting board workshops, as a real strength. Rabbi Morais is a strategic thinker and will be an asset to our organization going forward. Lastly, he knows us, respects what we have here and wants to make his rabbinate and life here with us. Ellie and Mark Tannenbaum met Rabbi Morais when they were the directors of our youth program. At the time, Rabbi Morais was the Associate Rabbi at Temple B’rith Kodesh, Rochester, NY (1997-2004). Mark and Ellie said Rabbi Morais is an excellent teacher, very involved in youth groups and camp. He developed a Hebrew Immersion weekend program, in Rochester, that our youth group attended. They go on to say that Rabbi Morais was at summer camp every year and he was one of the few Rabbis’ to accompany their youth group. They describe him as high energy, a love of teaching and a sparkle in his eye. Mark and Ellie give him an A+. The Search committee unanimously recommends that the Board of Directors offer Rabbi Robert Morais the position of Rabbi of Temple Anshe Hesed Respectively Submitted, Rochelle Krowinski, Chair Rabbi Search Committee Temple Anshe Hesed, Erie, PA

It was inevitable. Jack Frostein has finally arrived in Erie. Along with the freezing temperatures, wind driven

snowdrifts, and tired bones from snowplowing, there is a sunny side to all of this kvetching about the weather.

The congregation of Temple Anshe Hesed has voted for Rabbi Robert Morais to be our next congregational

leader pending ongoing contract negotiations. There is no need to worry about Rabbi Morais, as he is as robust to

the snow and ice as are we who have decided to dwell in this part of the country.

Along with the selection of our new Rabbi Morais , should he accept the terms of the contract, come new

opportunities to open the door of the closet of our lives and renew our commitment to Temple life. If you were

not aware, the URJ (Union for Reform Judaism) offers many courses that enhance synagogue life. Please take

the time to go to the URJ website to view all of the key programs available to train tomorrow’s leaders. Please

note, many of the programs are subsidized and some funding is available through our Temple. All you need to do

is find something of interest to you and how you believe this will benefit Anshe Hesed. All you have to do is say

Yes, I want to be more of a leader in the congregation and what can I do to help. We all have the basic skills

necessary to enhance our leadership abilities from leading services to helping out with music or teaching our

students what it is to be a Jew. John Quincy Adams makes the following quote “If your actions inspire others to

dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. How awesome is that?

It is interesting to note one of the ways in which Judaism seeks to protect against leadership abuses is to insist

that power be shared and not hoarded. Throughout history, Jewish communities have been governed by a

tripartite system in which religious, scholarly, and political leaders share responsibility for the welfare of the

people. Singular individuals claiming to have all the answers, who insist on aggregating power, are viewed with

suspicion and disdain. Far from glorifying the model of a charismatic leader who solves problems unilaterally,

Jewish sources prefer leaders who are willing to share responsibility and empower others.

This is why it is so important to have a voice in our congregation., to ensure we listen and act accordingly. I

know that without the help of all of you, we wouldn’t be able to get much accomplished.

I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.

Care to be a Leader?

While we have been without a Rabbi for 6 months, the Worship committee has done an amazing job of

continuing to hold services both Friday nights and most Saturday mornings.

In this new year of 2019, however, we seem to be struggling to find enough people willing and able to lead

services. If we don't have enough volunteers, we will have to cancel some Shabbat services.

If you think you might be interested, please call or email the Temple office and we can put you on the schedule.

Services can be adapted to YOUR style, English or Hebrew, musical or not, it's your chance to lead.

As some of you may know we celebrated Tu B’Shevat last month with an intergenerational Seder. The turnout was amazing, 24 out of our 30 students participated in this event along with 23 grandparents and “adoptive” grandparents. Dr. Vidmar lead the service and did a fantastic job engaging the students and grandparents. Michele Bille lead the students in song. That was when all the proud grandparents pulled out their phones and took videos! The interactions between the generations were inspiring. You could see the pride in Jewish grandparents that traditions were being past down as well as the pride in our students sharing a holiday with non-Jewish grandparents.

The blue and white tzedakah boxes overflowed with generous donations. We raised $84.24 to send to the Jewish National Fund to help cultivate the land of Israel.

A special thanks to our congregants that volunteered to make this service possible. Ina Fisher, Cynthia Leopold, Rabbi Stone & her husband Wayne Easthon, Jan Mandel, Janice Wittmershaus, Jay Kallor, and Lyman Cohen were our “adoptive” grandparents for the event.

A Funny Thing Happened…

...A Kuperman Story

The Minetta Kuperman Educational Endowment Fund is used each year to provide religious educational

experiences for our Temple youth. This year, from this fund, the committee was able to award summer camp

scholarships to 5 of our Gesher students. Many of these students would not be able to attend without the

financial help that these funds provide. It is very gratifying, as a committee, to know that we are enriching the

Jewish experience of these young people. It is even more gratifying when we hear back from one of the past

participants expressing their joy and memories of the experience afforded to them and how it has influenced

their life even 45 years later! The temple recently received such an email from a past recipient. Part of her

email is copied below:

The check is to be a donation to the Kuperman Fund. The Kuperman fund sent me to Kutz in 1973 to study

Israeli dance. I did not seek this scholarship. I didn't know about it, and it wouldn't have occurred to me.

The Temple gave it to me completely out of the blue, with the stipulation that I return and teach dance at the

religious school. I greatly enjoyed the teaching. Before the first Bar Mitzvah of the year, which was at the

other synagogue, I realized that they would need something to dance when the band played "Hava Nagilah,"

so I quickly ducked into the ladies room one Sunday morning to choreography a suitable party dance. People

in Erie danced that version of Hava Nagila for years!

I still dance, all these decades later! Now you've got me thinking about where Israeli Dance has led me, and

there's this: We have an Israeli Dance Camp here in Texas that I always attend. It's called Kochavim. Because

of this camp, I became close with some people from Mexico who have taken an interest in Israeli dance. This

year the dance leader from Mexico took it upon herself to run a companion Israeli Dance Camp in her

hometown of Saltillo, a few hours south of Laredo in Northern Mexico. I led a group of seven other Texans to

the first ever Kochavim Mexico. It was magical to be dancing there in Mexico.

Thanks to Minetta Kuperman and the generosity of others, we can continue to provide enriching experiences

to today’s youth.

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

Sage Singer is a baker trying to escape a reality of loneliness, bad memories, and the shadow of her mother’s death. When Josef Weber, an elderly man in Sage’s grief support group, begins stopping by the bakery, they strike up an unlikely friendship. Despite their differences, they see in each other the hidden scars that others can’t, and they become companions. Everything changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried and shameful secret—one that nobody else in town would ever suspect—and asks Sage for an extraordinary favor. If she says yes, she faces not only moral repercussions, but potentially legal ones as well. When does a moral choice become a moral imperative? And where does one draw the line between punishment and justice, forgiveness and mercy?

Biography of a sacred object: What happens when a Torah scroll reaches the end of its life?

American Jewish congregations own an overabundance of Torah scrolls, often in pasul condition (not "ritually fit"). This talk explains the ways in which a Torah becomes pasul. Drawing on rabbinic literature as well as ethnographic research, we will also explore the variety of decisions congregations make regarding what to do with such Torah scrolls, taking into account both financial and spiritual considerations. Cases of burial, donation, repair, and sale will all be examined, as well as their implications. Everyone welcome.

I. Jewish students from the Titusville, PA school district. II. Jewish students from other areas (Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Clarion, Crawford, Erie,

Lawrence, Mercer, Venango, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties). III. All other students. These students will only be considered if insufficient applications

Applicants will be rated on the basis of four equally-weighted criteria: academic achievement; fi-nancial need; personality; and worthiness, with respect to honesty, integrity and good reputation as a student. These scholarships are very competitive. Therefore, the recipients will be out-standing in all areas. For your convenience, a sample release, suitable for your congregation bulletin, is enclosed.

Undergraduate/dependent students’ resi-dency is determined by the residency of their parents. Please contact Alayne Lowenberger at JFCS at (412) 422-5627 for information.

As 2019 begins it is a good time to consider making

your contribution to the Temple Anshe Hesed

Building Fund. Although this is not a personal

solicitation, it does come with gratitude for all that

each of you have done for Temple Anshe Hesed.

Every contribution in any amount is important and is

valued.

We are grateful for your continued commitment and

support of our Temple. Our hope is that every member

will make a contribution to our New Temple Building.

At our May,2019 Gala it would be wonderful to have

100% Congregant participation to complete

"OurJourney."

Together we will make that happen. There are Pledge

Cards in the Temple office and we will be in touch

with you.

Shalom,

Walter and Bobbi

Hello from the NEW

Communications Committee!

After years of discussion, we have finally decided to

make a change to the way the Temple Topics is

distributed. Many of you have already asked if you

could receive the Temple Topics electronically and we

have listened.

We have begun to email everyone the Temple Topics,

along with the paper copy, so you can start to get used

to getting it electronically. From that email, you can

read everything or if you choose, you can print it out

for you to have an extra paper copy.

Beginning in MARCH, we plan to only be emailing the

Temple Topics to each of you.

If you still would like a paper copy in the mail, we

need to hear from you. IF WE

DON’T HEAR FROM YOU BY

MARCH 1, YOU WILL ONLY

RECEIVE AN EMAIL COPY OF

THE TEMPLE TOPICS.

This will not only save on printing

and postage but will also save a great deal of time that

is spent folding and stuffing envelopes each month.

The Temple Topics is already available on our

website, accessible anytime from anywhere by going

to: https://anshehesederie.org/temple-topics-2/

For those of you who would like a lesson in how to

access the Temple Topics from the website or an

email, we can plan a session to go over all of that.

If you are NOT receiving Tuesday Topics or other

email from the Temple it is because we do not have

your correct or current email address. Please make sure

to contact the office with any updated addresses. If you

would like others in your family to receive the Temple

Topics electronically, since most of us now have our

own email addresses, please make sure that we have

ALL email addresses you would like us to use.

Thanks for your patience and

understanding as we move

forward with this new

adventure!!
