Temple Ohabei Shalom—New England’s First Reform Congregation
What’s Inside: BE A BLESSING
As Jews, we are supposed to find
President’s Message blessings. That has always been our job.
When God told Abraham to go forth to be the
Annual Meeting father of a new people, the Holy One of
Blessing added this instruction: “Be a
blessing.” Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch

This has been a complicated year
here at Temple Ohabei Shalom. We, too,
Ikkarim have been dealing with special
circumstances, with a plethora of transitions.
June Funds We are about to move into the (slightly) less
hectic summer season. This is a good time
to recognize the blessings we have received
June Calendar
from four professionals who have served this
congregation and who will have a different
status next year than they did when this one
began. They are far from the only ones who
have given devoted service this past year,
but their change in status calls for a few
words now.
I have been privileged to share the
bimah with Cantor Shana Onigman these
past two years. She has a genuineness that
shines through in everything she does. Her
passion for Judaism, for teaching, for prayer
that is prayerful has taught and inspired me.
Her ability to translate ideas and feelings into
music has been a gift to all of us. Not the
least of her accomplishments was bringing
Matthew along with her, who led and
inspired our choirs. I know that they and
their growing family will be a blessing to her
new congregation in New Jersey.
June 2007, Sivan/Tamuz 5767
It is now half a
year since Emily Lipof
became only the third
rabbi ever to assume
Emerita status in an
American congregation.
Before them, the
previous retirees had all
been men, each one a
Rabbi Emeritus.
Pathbreaking is not an
unusal activity for Rabbi Lipof, as this
congregation knows well. We have spent
these last several months learning how to
live in a synagogue where her special gifts
have not been part of our daily world. This
time has reminded us of how much of a mark
she has made here. We give her our best
wishes on her upcoming marriage to Kenny,
and we are blessed that even in retirement
she will remain part of our community.
Jim Freiman-Polli served ably as our
Executive Director. He brought dedication,
passion, and skill to this position. We think
fondly of Jim, Eric, and Jacob. His tenure
gave us many blessings.
Jeffrey Wexler has been our Director
of Informal Education, but he has been so
much more. His gifts have made
connections not just to our students but also
to their families. His wife, Lauren, has taught
our students wonderfully. As they go off to
Ithaca, they will always have a place here at
Temple Ohabei Shalom. We have been
blessed by their time with us.
A new season brings new
possibilities. Our synagogue will be enriched
by the promotion of Kate Mikesh in the Ansin
Religious School and by the addition of
Dianne Newman as our Executive Director
and Randall Schloss as our Cantor. I look
forward to working with all of them in the
year ahead to keep Temple Ohabei Shalom
a blessing to our community. At the same
time, it’s important to remember that new
blessings grow best in a soil already rich in
blessings. Because we have been blessed
in this past year, we can expect to give and
receive blessing in the year to come.
May each of you have a safe and
fulfilling summer.

I don’t know about you, but I’m

SISTERHOOD NEWS
Shalom Sisters!
The May joint meeting with Brotherhood was a very
nice departure from the usual. We look forward to
doing it again. The food, contributed by both groups,
was delicious, as always. The art style in the Shtetl
documentary was primitive impressionist watercolor.
The narration was interesting and informative. The
pictures of Robert Pierson's mother, taken in a
Shtetl, were poignant. Thank you, Robert.
Following a recent suggestion by a representative of
District One WRJ, a small group of Mah Jong
players has been enjoying a series of meetings. If
you have any ideas for other small group activities,
drop a line to the TOS Sisterhood mailbox or on E-
mail, for consideration at our next planning meeting

On Monday, May 14th, TOS Sisterhood and
Brotherhood hosted a wonderful potluck dinner and
event entitled: Memories of the Shtetl. The
evening included the showing of a movie with this
same title followed by a 20 minute video of my
mother in her shtetl in 1937 at age 14 with her
family, most of who perished. Of course it was a
very moving and meaningful evening for all who
participated.
