Congregation Beth Ahm Summer 2021
Big Enough to Enrich You. Small Enough to Know You.
The Jewish Press:
The First Draft of Jewish History
Tuesdays in July from 7:30pm - 8:30pm
July 6, 13, 20 & 27
For the last two centuries, Jewish newspapers around the world have epitomized
the adage “Two Jews, three opinions.” Whatever the event, Jewish journalists have
expressed multiple often conflicting descriptions and interpretations of
major events.
In this series, we look at a few of these events and the varied
interpretations in the Jewish press. Specifically,
• Dreyfus: The Trial and the Affair
• The Balfour Declaration
• The Bernie Madoff Scandal
• The Abraham Accords
Presented by Professor Howard Lupovitch,
this series is free and open to the community.

5Message from the President
I am writing this article just prior to completing my first term as synagogue President. In a couple of days, we’ll be
celebrating Lag Ba’Omer, a holiday that celebrates the resilience of the Jewish spirit. Over the past year, I have
seen endless examples of resilience of the Jewish spirit within our synagogue family. It is my honor to serve as
your synagogue President.
Also, on Lag Ba’Omer, tradition states there was a break in a plague during the time of Rabbi Akiva. It is my hope
that while your read this article, the miracle of vaccination will bring much needed relief from the COVID virus and
that we’ll take more steps toward a normal synagogue experience. Please know, Beth Ahm did its part to assist
with the vaccination effort. Many thanks to Alyse Grossman, Rich Grossman, and Sharona Shapiro for their help in
organizing a vaccination clinic at the synagogue.
I am also thankful for the congregation’s Officers and Trustees, committee members, and volunteers. They review
budgets, make phone calls, help plan events, engage in critical discussions, and make important decisions that
shape synagogue life. We are especially fortunate to have the input of Dr. Aaron Ellenbogen and Dr. Mark Wolf who have provided COVID
related guidance and insight. The congregation’s lay leaders take their roles seriously. They are prepared and engaged. Thank you for all
that you have done during the past year and all that you will do going forward.
I continue to be appreciative and thankful for the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Rubenstein during this period of unprecedented health crisis
that has impacted all we consider normal. In his calming and positive way, Rabbi has kept our congregation focused on how our traditions
and rituals can help us navigate this difficult period. As we celebrate Jewish life, we are fortunate to have a religious leader that lifts our
spirits so we can preserve and sustain our wonderful synagogue and begin to rebuild our lives and communities.
I am also grateful to our Executive Director, David Goodman, and the staff. So much is required logistically and administratively to make
the synagogue function properly - so much more so in a pandemic. Both Rabbi and David’s willingness to adapt, change, and think out of
the box, in my opinion, maintains Beth Ahm’s culture of being a synagogue that is big enough to enrich you and small enough to know you.
Beginning in June, the synagogue will be expanding in-person services on Shabbat and will be re-establishing in-person evening minyan.
Multiple scenarios, depending on COVID conditions, are being evaluated for the High Holidays with the goal of celebrating in-person and at
the synagogue. More information will be shared during the summer.
To take advantage of the summer weather, outside events are being planned. Please mark your calendars for Shabbat dinner at Drake
Park on June 11 and a picnic downtown at Milliken State Park on July 25.
As always, if you need assistance for any reason or know of someone needing help, please contact me at msoble@cbahm.org

Picnic in the Park
Sunday, July 25 at Milliken State Park
Enjoy the riverfront, sunshine, and time with your Beth Ahm friends at Milliken State Park
(1900 Atwater Street) in Detroit. Everyone is invited to join at 11:30 a.m. for a BBQ lunch and
picnic activities in the park. $10 for lunch and children under 5 are free.
To register, visit www.cbahm.org/event/picnicjuly25 or call the synagogue at 248-851-6880
by July 20.
Join us early at 9:30 a.m. for a morning bike ride with the group. You can take the casual route
on the Dequindre Cut or a more adventurous ride through Belle Isle. Bikes are available to rent
at the park on a first come basis.
Organized by the Beth Ahm Men’s Club. Contact Ira Goldberg at rigldbrg@gmail.com for more
information. Perform a mitzvah by bringing cans of soup for the Open Hands Food Pantry.
Open Hands Canned Soup Collection
July 25 – August 6
Hunger is real in Oakland County. The Open Hands Food Pantry was started in a small closet to
provide food for neighbors in need. Today it serves over 11,000 people annually.
Canned soup is a staple in every kitchen and in need at the pantry. The tikkun olam team invites you
to donate canned soup by bringing it to the synagogue picnic on July 25 or delivering it to the
synagogue office. All donations are needed by August 6.

6Message from the Rabbi
Come Back to Shul ASAP
I think that the title of this article may say it all but let me explain a bit.
Even as I write this article, Michigan is still coming down from a very high spike in COVID cases this
spring. The good news is that most people I know are beginning to make transitions in their
day-to-day activities due to their increased sense of safety following the process of being vaccinated.
Even as we continue to follow public health guidelines, we are able to do more and see people we
haven’t seen in a long while.
Still, I have spoken to people who recognize within them a reluctance to venture out; they have
anxiety about getting together with groups. Even when they know intellectually that the situation is
largely safe, psychologically they are having a hard time breaking out of the habits that we have built
up over the past year. We’ve spent a lot of time at home and it is hard for some to make changes.
As you probably know (and as you can see from looking at this bulletin), Beth Ahm has been working
on this transition. We have had in-person Shabbat morning services for several months. We are beginning in-person weekday
evening minyan as of June 1. And we are going to be taking advantage of spring and summer with a variety of outdoor activities
in the coming months.
When should you start taking advantage of these opportunities? ASAP! ‘As soon as possible’ is something that only you can
decide. I know that not everyone feels ready but for those who are ready, now is the time to show up in person. Here’s why.
While we have been able to take advantage of online opportunities over the past year, there is a lot that cannot be done online.
As Rabbi Eli Garfinkel put it in a recent article, ‘Zoom Judaism isn’t the real thing.’ It has been helpful. But being in an actual
room with people is something else entirely. Showing up in person allows us to BE somewhere; the opportunity to pray with
others, to learn with others, and to have the conversations that we have been missing for far too long.
Have we been doing that online? Yes, in some ways. But I think that most of us know that there is a quality of presence which is
found only when we occupy the same space with others---even if we are still wearing a mask and keeping our distance.
Beth Ahm will continue to take all appropriate precautions for the health and well-being of our community. Part of our health and
well-being involves re-growing the bonds of connection between individuals and the overall sense of community that are
important for living full lives. I hope to see you soon.

7Minyan Matters
Among the many aspects of congregational life that have been out-of-the-ordinary during the COVID pandemic has been our daily
minyan. As we look forward to improving public health circumstances, we have made plans to transition back towards our full daily
minyan schedule. Please see below to learn about our plans.
Morning Minyan
On June 1, Beth Ahm will return to our pre-pandemic morning service schedule:
Sunday 9:00 a.m.
Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m.
For the time being, morning services will continue to meet on Zoom.
Evening Minyan
We have had a full weekday service schedule for evening services throughout the pandemic and will continue with our current schedule:
Sunday 5:00 p.m.
Monday-Thursday 7:00 p.m.
Friday 6:00 p.m.
Beginning on June 1, we will be inviting people into the synagogue building for in-person evening minyan. We will be meeting in the main
lobby of the synagogue. There is sufficient space in the lobby for even a larger-than-average minyan crowd, so there will be no need to
sign-up in advance in order to attend. In the near-term, we will continue to use Zoom so that people can join us online.
As we have throughout the pandemic, we will follow a policy of counting a minyan only when there are 10 people gathered in one space.
While we have recited one kaddish at the end of weekday Zoom services, we have been operating without a minyan during this period.
As we welcome people to join us in-person, we plan to have a minyan in-person each night.
We are all in the midst of a variety of transitions happening in the workplace, with our relatives and friends, and with Beth Ahm as well.
I am excited for us to be able to increase opportunities for our congregation to be together in the coming months. Minyan is one
important aspect of that. Thank you for your dedication to our Minyan!

May their memories endure for a blessing
Honor the memory of your loved ones by purchasing a memorial plaque in the Kahan Memorial Room. The purchase of a plaque
will ensure that your loved one’s name will be read during the week of their yahrzeit. It is a lasting tribute of your love that links
the generations of your family. Plaques are currently $500 each. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to assure your
loved ones will be forever remembered at Congregation Beth Ahm. Contact David Goodman at 248-851-6880.
