chance to work with amazing teens from a different region than me, and I
truly believe that COVID gave us this opportunity. Then, LIBERTY planned a
joint havdalah and virtual co-event with KTTY (Kol Tikvah, Davidson,
NC), the other North Carolina-based SAR (Southern Area Region) youth group. This was one of the only subregional events I’ve ever been to (or
helped plan), and while we unfortunately had to do it online, the chance to work with friends from Lake Norman was a fantastic experience. While
we don’t love the situation COVID put us in, we’ve been able to participate in joint programs and expand our relationships with youth groups that we
may not have had the opportunity to interact with. We hope to continue to forge relationships with these youth groups even after the pandemic is
controlled.

SPICE IN THE TIME OF PANDEMIC
Bob Wolf, SPICE Chair

SPICE, Temple Beth El’s Senior Programs of Interest, Concern, and Engagement, like everything and everyone else, had to adapt to new and challenging
landscapes this year. Despite the pandemic, we continue to provide rich programming twice monthly via Zoom, each session followed by breakout
sessions for continued social interaction. Programs throughout 2020-2021 included Rabbi Geoffrey Mitelman and Rabbi Knight on “Has Science
Replaced God?”; “From Berlin to Bernstein from Hammerstein to Brooks” with Alan Kaufman; “How Charlotte Became Segregated by Race and Class”
with Dr. Tom Hanchett; and “Why is this Thanksgiving different from all Other Thanksgivings?” with Chef Alyssa; and “The Early Development of
Charlotte’s Most Desirable Neighborhoods of Myers Park, Dilworth and Eastover” with Dr. Dan Morrill. We also ran a full season of SAGE, our in-depth
look at a single topic, with Rabbi Knight covering the topic of “Combatting the Machinery of Hate: Anti-Semitism and Us.”

We have continued to support efforts with TBE’s designated Title One school, Sterling Elementary, providing refurbished computers for deserving
students and supporting teachers with needed web-cams. The program had a record-breaking year, delivering more computers than ever before. While
our Senior to Senior program, which provides companionship for isolated seniors, has been affected by the pandemic, our volunteers stay in touch and
stand ready to resume face-to-face contact as soon as possible. And we look forward to resuming our potluck dinners and other social gatherings as
soon as we can. SPICE continues to be a vibrant force in the Metrolina and TBE senior Jewish communities. We look forward to continuing to bring joy,
education, socialization, community spirit and Tikkun Olam and Tzedakah to all.

THE PORCH
Ginger Brock, Porch co-chair

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of connection and community for all our well-
being. The clergy have worked so hard to bring the spiritual life of Temple Beth El into our
homes during the pandemic. The Porch events have supported this vital mission of upholding
our community in these difficult times through reinforcing our connections, Jewish identity,
and camaraderie.

The Porch has supported Young Adults and Families with Young Children through various
online programs. We had a very successful online trivia night that was well attended by TBE
members. The online Tot Shabbats have allowed the very smallest members to participate in
services and continue to grow in their Jewish learning. The Porch also hosted a very
successful event, welcoming our new Rabbi, Beth Nichols!

Throughout the long days and nights of 2020 and beginning of 2021, The Porch has
continued to foster community and support to the greater Temple Beth El population. We
have even hosted two in-person programs thus far: yoga, and a hike with Havdallah. We look
forward to more opportunities to spend time together in-person in the coming months!

BROTHERHOOD
Philip Schreibman, Brotherhood Board Member
COVID hit our tight knit Jewish community hard. Our Brotherhood board continues to search for ways to engage our members and remind us all
why we are members in the first place: hanging out with other Jewish men, joining together for food and fellowship, promoting learning and Jewish
literacy, and service to our community. The call to action was clear: provide a safe place for people to join, connect with others, and deliver some sense
of normalcy in abnormal times. Some recent highlights:
         • In August, we invited renowned Wells Fargo economic advisor and TBE member Mark Vitner to speak about the COVID, the Election, the
         Economy and Where We’re Headed. Over 50 people joined our discussion.
         • In October, our Brotherhood hosted TBE member David Weinrib, MD, Infectious Diseases Specialist with Atrium Health, and Gibbie Harris,
         MSPH, BSN, RN, Mecklenburg County Public Health Director. We were thrilled to have such renowned experts in the field of disease at a time
         when so many Americans and congregants needed answers to questions about the Pandemic of our Lifetime.
         • In November, Jacob Diamond, Head Equipment Manager for the Orlando Magic, shared how a pro sports franchise operates in the midst of a pandemic.
         • In January, Rabbi Knight and Rabbi Nichols presented on Our New Normal As We Apply Ancient Wisdom in a Modern Crisis.
         • In April, Timothy Boyce joined us to present From Day to Day: One Man’s Diary of Survival in Nazi Concentration Camps.
Recordings of these programs are available on the Brotherhood page of TBE’s website. As the pandemic persists, we’ll keep trying to deliver the good
and provide great educational programs for Brotherhood members. Hope to see you there.

YEAR IN REVIEW 2020-2021 | 5781 - CHAZAK STRENGTH - Temple Beth El
5782 IN PREVIEW

We invite all members to attend the Congregational Annual Meeting. Temple leadership will reflect on the past year,
         review our current programming, and discuss planned initiatives. We will also give financial updates. The
  congregation will be asked to vote to accept the year’s slate of new Directors and approve the 2021-2022 budget.
    This year’s meeting will be hosted on Zoom. The annual meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to gather as a
                       community, listen, share, and fulfill the important responsibilities required by our by-laws.

COMING TO A MAILBOX NEAR YOU:

                         MY TEMPLE COMMITMENT 2021-2022
HERE ARE SOME KEY UPDATES FOR THIS YEAR:
• When creating the My Temple Commitment membership structure two years ago, our plan included shifting to an auto-renewal system,
 making it easier to continue membership year after year. This year we are taking the first steps toward auto-renewal, asking you to give
 TBE permission to continue charging your credit card year after year.

• In response to increasing expenses, we are adding a 3.5% My Temple Commitment increase for the coming year. Sustainer levels are not
 increasing; however, Sustainers are encouraged to match the increase if possible.

• We are asking families to submit new Commitment Review paperwork for the coming year if they require financial support for their
 Commitment. This new form will take into account all potential aspects of membership: Religious School, Hebrew High, B’nei Mitzvah fees,
 and My Temple Commitment.

MY TEMPLE COMMITMENT TWO-STEP PROCESS FOR 2021-2022:
         1. Receive informational letter in the mail (early June – please contact our office if it is not received by June 20)

         2. Log onto ShulCloud and complete the My Temple Commitment form and/or Commitment Review. We encourage you to give TBE
         permission to continue charging your card year after year – this will be an option on the form.
