With our own “Into the Midst” efforts, our goals as a congregation will be to get 100% participation from our incredible community here at Temple Beth Join Temple Beth David in an David. We will also be extending urgent effort to collect funds this initiative to the community at for Nechama.org, an amazing large and are organizing a trip to organization dedicated to disaster Oklahoma this summer for hands relief. -on help in rebuilding communities like our own. From Parashat Korah, we learned that after three destructive forces sent to destroy the Israelites, Moses ordered Aaron to run “Into the Midst” of the congregation where a plague had begun among the people. Aaron then stood between the dead and the living until the plague ended. (Numbers 17:12) From this we learn how important and how necessary it is for us to be active participants in helping in crises. Whether through donations or physically going to the affected areas in need of support we are all

The funds we raise will be sent to Nechama.org as a community. A congregant volunteer will contact you soon to see how you would like to contribute.

Mazel Tov to Sarah Eckhaus on your Bat Mitzvah! Sarah Eckhaus is excited to become a Bat Mitzvah on August 17th. She shares a birthday with her father and will share the same Torah portion, too. Sarah is an honor roll student at School of the Arts and will begin 8thgrade in September. She is a Visual Arts major and really enjoys science class. Sarah lives with her parents, Sue and Neal, and siblings, Jacob and Hannah.

Pictures From Left to Right Top: Hannah Eckhaus, gymnastic dance Mayim Smookler, cello Marlena Berger, Irish dance Aaron Bigeleisen, vocal Eric Levy, viola and violin Elena Davis, jazz dance Laura Rich, ballet & modern Harry Franklin, juggling

Sarah takes horse riding lessons every week and spends as much time as she can at the stable. She is a true animal lover and has spent lots of time with the many animals from Lollypop Farm that her family has fostered during the last 4 years. She is a voracious reader and has yet to meet a book she does not like. Her parents are very proud of her and of the care and empathy she gives to others.

Mazel Tov also on the B’nai Mitzvah of Olivia Meynadasy, Nick Wasserman, & Juliet Lande

Administration News: Judy Levy, VP of Administration In the first half of this year, Melanie, Bill Fowlkes, Lisa Worden and I have had several meetings on improving the efficiency of the Temple office. This has been done by identifying problem areas and researching solutions. Several of these solutions have been put in place already while others are in progress. During this time, Melanie created a spread sheet delineating all of the duties of the office manager and how many of them interrelate. The end product of this “chart” that Melanie created is mind boggling!

[email protected]

Once all the information is received, the bulletin must be formatted, printed and be ready for our wonderful volunteer “assembly and folding” committee before it can be sent out. Printing needs several days, because our printer cannot handle printing the entire job in one day. It is even better if an extra day can be built in case the printer breaks down and has to be serviced (believe it or not this is not uncommon).

If information for the bulletin is not submitted on time, this cuts into the rest of the process and One of the most time consuming many times the assembly tasks is the Temple bulletin. The committee has to be rescheduled. timeline for the bulletin is very Melanie also has to spend her sensitive. It is very important that precious time tracking down articles or information being people and information. This can submitted for inclusion in the be very frustrating for everyone. bulletin are sent to Melanie by the deadline (before the deadline Now that the bulletin only comes date would be even better!). out every other month, I ask that

you please be conscious of this process and submit any information by the deadline. The bulletin deadlines will begin to be posted in the Weekly News starting 2 weeks before each deadline. If information is not submitted by this date, it will not appear in the bulletin. Also, beware, if a very thin bulletin comes in the mail and you wonder why there is so little information, you will know that Melanie included all that was given to her no matter how little. In addition I would like to congratulate Melanie for completing her first year at Temple Beth David. She has made some very positive changes in the office and continues to work on improving the office every day. Judy Levy, VP Administration
