I have put off writing this, my last newsletter article
for TBY, until I realized that although this may be my
last newsletter article as your rabbi, it most certainly
will not be my last connection with the congregation.
I have spent almost my entire career as a rabbi at
Temple Bat Yam. Each one of you have become an
important part of my life. I have loved being your
rabbi. It has been meaningful to represent you in the
broader community. It has been my pleasure to
officiate at your weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvot, your
baby namings. It has been my honor to accompany
you as you mourn the loss of your loved ones. And I
have taken great joy in celebrating Shabbat and all the
holidays with you.
We have done a lot at TBY in the past ten years. The
congregation is stronger and more cohesive than it
ever has been. We have added new members and
welcomed Friend members. We have joined other
URJ congregations in embracing the Mishkan Tefillah
prayerbook and the High Holiday prayerbook
Mishkan HaNefesh. We have an involved Caring
Committee; our Sisterhood and Men's Club are very
strong and active.
We have all, literally, put our hand in the “new”
Torah scroll which has become such an integral part
of our services. We have been involved in class after
class after class, always learning and stretching our
minds. We have expanded our horizons with trips to
Israel and to Amsterdam (and keep tuned for another
trip led both by myself and Rabbi Mills in the spring
of 2019).
There are so many people to thank for all these years.
If I named every name it would fill this whole
newsletter. But I want to especially thank my co-
service leaders Phyllis Alpern and Cheryl Taustin.
They are amazing musicians and colleagues. They
have taught me so much. Our work together has been
a pleasure from the first day, and there is no way they
will know how much their musicianship, their
professionalism, their spirituality, and friendship has
meant to me.
There is a saying in Judaism “All beginnings are
hard.” I add to that, endings are hard too. But I know
the congregation will welcome Rabbi Mills with open
arms. I know, because I know that this congregation
will give her time to become acquainted with you and
to learn the culture of the congregation.
I am so very grateful to have been your rabbi. I thank
you for allowing me to grow and learn and to be a
part of your lives. I pray that Temple Bat Yam will
continue to thrive, and that what Judaism teaches will
become more and more meaningful to each one of
you. As I say every Friday night,
Y’va-re-cha-cha Adonai, v’yis-m’recha. May God
bless you and keep you. Amen.
From Rabbi Susan Warshaw:

Dear TBY Congregants,
Since our next newsletter issue will not be coming out
until after July 1, this is my last President’s letter as
my term ends June 30. I will be continuing on our
Board of Directors as Immediate Past President.
I want to thank all of you for giving me the
opportunity to serve TBY in a leadership capacity. I
also want to especially thank our officers and trustees
for their continuing support and encouragement. As I
reflect on the past twenty-two months, I will be
leaving the position with many remembrances.
This letter is about us as a congregation: our vibrancy
and strength, our many joys and yes many sadnesses;
our wonderful team efforts and also singular acts of
helping and caring for persons in need both within
and outside of our community; an outstanding
threesome at the pulpit; opportunities to benefit from
the involvement of neighboring Christian clergy; and
so much more.
Particular standouts for me include the following: the
unselfish and courageous giving of the gift of life by
one congregant to another; conducting “in-house,”
with a modicum of outside assistance, a successful
and professional Rabbinical search process; achieving
an effective resurgence of the Men’s Club while
accomplishing a seamless change in Sisterhood
leadership; welcoming many new members to our
increasingly “interstate” Temple life; and having a
number of congregants step up with major volunteer
contributions as well as financial support. On a
personal note, having the opportunity to have many
personal and up close experiences with Rabbi
Warshaw has been especially memorable.
I look forward to working with our incoming new
Rabbi Mills, our Board, and all of you.
Thanks again.
Ethan Lucus with Bill Lucus and
Rabbi Susan at his Bar Mitzvah.

The men's club has been very active these several
months. Recently the club conducted a Holocaust
Remembrance Day ( Yom Hashoah) service as well as
the annual Mens Club Shabbot service. The services
were lead by Steve Winkler and Steve Cohen. Several
members of the club participated in the service by
reading passages about Yom HaShoah.
The club also cosponsored with the sisterhood a casino
night on April 28, 2018. In the future there is a planned
trip to the National Indian Museum in Washington DC.
Also once a month the club members and guests have a
dinner followed by a classical movie night at the Clayton
Theater.
All are welcome to join the club. There is no fee to
join.
Please contact Steve Cohen or Steve Winkler for
further information.

Arts and Furnishings Committee: April, 2018 Report
by Bonnie Kaplan, Chairperson
Early spring and it is still cold, but the flowers are
peeking through and the cherry blossoms are
blooming in Washington, DC. and that makes it
official! The Arts and Furnishing Committee of
Temple Bat Yam will again meet to discuss
placement of newly donated art pieces and any needs
for additional furnishings. As you review your pieces
of art acquired over the years please keep the Temple
in mind for any modern Judaic pieces of our faith that
you would like to share with us either on loan or as a
gift.
One interesting project we plan to undertake is the
restructuring of the tale of our beautiful mosaic glass
windows in the Sanctuary. These windows were
designed and hand made by our own Temple Bat
Yam Artisans. The story has been narrated and on
display for many years in the lobby of our building.
However, it is difficult to see and read and many
members have not noticed it hanging by the door of
the Sanctuary which hides it when the doors are open.
The plan is to find a better place to display the
narration and accompany it with pictures of the
windows during the three years they were in
development before installation. Many of TBY
members have been unaware of this history until
Rabbi Susan Warsaw shared the story and introduced
the window’s artists to us at the March, 2018, Friday
Evening Shabbat Service.
Please remember that the forms for donating or
loaning any of your family art may still be obtained
from Peggy in the Temple Office. Messages for me or
the committee may also be left at the Temple office
with Peggy. It is also possible to contact me on my
cell phone, if you have any questions about Art
donation etc. My cell phone number is 301-633-0613.
The Committee welcomes new ideas and people who
have an interest in working on this committee.
Thank you for considering an Art donation for the
future.
Purim Potluck D inner and Service
Our annual Purim Potluck dinner was held on Friday, March 2 sponsored by the Sisterhood and co-chaired by
Joan Kessler and Joan Strauss.
As usual, we had a delicious array of food covering all of the food groups (our congregation loves to show off
their specialties!). And we had some original, great costumes as pictured in the newsletter.
After our service, we had our
traditional Purim cast of
characters performing the
Megillah (or should we say
entertaining) for the
congregation. Joan & Joan
moderated the costume contest
with the congregation voting by
their applause, followed by an
Oneg with Purim desserts of
Hamantaschen and jelly donuts.

Caring Committee
We need your HELP! You are our eyes and ears in
our community so please contact the Rabbi or me if
you know of a need within Temple Bat Yam.
The Caring Committee meets every 3 months. Our
next meeting is Wednesday, July 18. We’d love for
you to join us. If you would like more information
about joining our committee, contact Bette Bohlmann
Come Hear What We Have to Say
Assistance to Hearing Challenged Congregants
Temple Bat Yam is pleased to announce that we are
now equipped to assist hearing challenged
congregants to better hear our services with the use of
individual blue tooth receivers and ear phones with
their own volume controls. There are 8 blue tooth
receivers with ear buds and 4 hearing aid compatible
units.
These receivers will be available in the Judaica Shop
before every service on a first come, first serve basis
(sorry, we cannot reserve units in advance).
You will be asked to leave your car keys with Bette
Bohlmann in the Judaica Shop in order to take out the
unit. The keys will be returned to you when you
return the unit to the Judaica Shop at the end of the
service. It will be your responsibility to clean the ear
buds with alcohol wipes that will be provided.
Happy hearing, and we hope this helps you feel more
connected to our services!

The Chaverim Bakers
by Tiffanie Nichols
On November 9th, a group of baking buddies from
TBY got together at Tiffanie Nichols new home for a
Challah Bake. It was so successful that they followed
up with a Sufganiyot Bake in December and a Bialy
Bake in January. Hamantashen were baked in
February, and March brought Pesach fun with Matzah
Making Maham. The baking class starts with a
themed pot luck and is followed by a lesson on the
integration of food in the holiday being celebrated,
and then an interactive group baking activity.
The most recent pot luck theme was a ‘twist’ on the
classic Seder plate. The roasted egg was represented
by roasted egg salad, karpas was cleverly included as
members of a very beautifully crafted Israeli salad, a
scrumptious Sephardic version of charosis graced the
table, marror- the bitter herb was deliciously blended
into an arugula/horseradish dressing for gefelte fish
(or veggies), and a very spicy Bloody Mary with
horseradish ice cubes added an additional bite of
‘remembrance’. The shankbone was embodied in
lamb kabobs, and fire roasted beets with orange
balsamic glaze offered a spot for both the vegetarians
and the women (….as it was once said that a woman
belongs on the bima as much as an orange belongs on
a Seder plate). Chazeret, the second bitter herb, was
artfully made from arugula, spinach and kale deep
fried and topped with Mediterranean Sea salt.
The baking group originated on the premise of l’dor
v’dor לדור ודור, which refers to continuity through the
Jewish woman’s responsibility to pass on spiritual
knowledge and cultural traditions from “generation to
generation” to sustain customs and preserve heritage.
Many of the ladies in the group became close friends
when they went to Israel together as TBY's Chaverah
group (meaning ‘Friend of a sister-type’) in 2016 for
their JWRP Momentum adventure. The importance of
l’dor vador was instilled in them through “a deep,
eternal connection to Israel, a profound kinship with
each other, and a heart filled with Jewish values.” As
a tribute, the group has coined themselves The
Chaverim Bakers.
Chaverim –חבר - Friends n. (plural)

activity, please contact Board member Rachel White

Genetic Testing
by Susanna Eisenman, Caring Committee
Two of my friends recently had one of the popular
genetic tests done and received some surprising
results. One found he had a half-sibling living in
another state and they now plan to meet. They
actually had one friend in common who had said
more than once that they looked like brothers! My
other friend was amused to find he was 1.5%
European Jewish (that’s a whole other story).
The real reason why I am musing about these tests is
that privacy concerns, as with the recent Facebook
debacle, may be in the news later for these testing
companies. Most of us agree (without reading) to the
Terms of Service for all our apps and other things we
want. We’re almost accustomed to hearing about our
accounts being hacked and watching our online
transactions more carefully.
Of course, my kids (and most of my friend's kids) are
against genetic testing for this very reason. We may
think that our genetic information is scrubbed of any
identifying markers, but a university researcher found
an individual and all his first degree relatives with
only his age and his state of residence in under a few
hours. So while we may not be affected by the
availability of this information, it’s possible that our
kids or grandkids will be because of a choice we
made for ourselves. There are already effects from
genetic testing on the state of long term care
insurance (the number of providers has gone down
and costs will probably rise) and we don’t yet know
what other areas will be affected. Even with the
Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008,
abuse is possible.
Of course, there is the flip side - your genetic
information can contribute to medical research or you
can be better prepared for a medical possibility such
as breast cancer. But for right now, I’m not getting
tested, just perusing birth records and census data for
our family history - I don’t think I need to know about
any half-siblings yet.

LETTERS RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO A SOLDIER LETTER:
From the family of Dustin Wright:
Temple Bat Yam Sabbath Congregants, Thank you for the letter of November 20, 2017. We really appreciate
you advising us of the prayers honoring Dustin. Dustin was a very special person. Y ou all would have been
proud to have known him.
Many thanks, Faye & the Wright Family.
From the family of Sergeant First Class Jason Sonnenfeld:
Dear Worshipers, We received your letter announcing that you had honored our son, Sergeant First Class Jason
Sonnenfeld, during your Sabbath prayers. Your letter left us inarticulate. Your words and person touch in your
signatures comforted us greatly during our family’s most tragic event EVER. We are extremely touched
knowing that people with warm hearts would take the time to recognize our son for his life’s work through his
service to God, country. The cemetery where Jason is buried is right next door to our home and is closed for the
winter. However, we can trudge through our back yard to visit on foot. Before it closed, we had placed a glass
cookie jar at his grave, emulating a sort of mailbox. So far it encloses a Christmas card. During our next visit,
we will place your letter there. We know it’s silly but necessary for us right now. Thank you and know that we
are indeed honored to meet your acquaintances.
Otto & Coleen Sonnenfeld
From the family of BG Steven T. Eveker:
Dear Members of Temple Bat Yam – Thank you for your prayers in honor of BG Steven T. Eveker. We miss
him greatly and appreciate the kindness and support you have extended to our family. May God bless you.
The Eveker Family

From the family of Mark Weaver:
Dear Friends, Thank you for your prayers on behalf of our son and family. Mark w as a hero to all of us and a

uniform. Shalom,
Tim & Joan Weaver
From the family of Ariel Gruenberg:
During a time like this we realize how much our family and friends really mean to us. Your expression of
