From the President’s desk
I am delighted to hear that the Ritual Committee has confirmed that we will be joined for the High Holy Days
with Cantor Bill Slott and led by Rabbi Greenspoon. This year’s High Holy Days will be held at Trinity
Lutheran Church’s Social Hall; which is located across the street from Franklin Middle School and can
be accessed through the Social Hall’s own entrance at the rear of the parking lot.
I am reminded of a similar time several decades ago in Palm Coast, Florida when the Lutheran Church
there offered their house of worship for the same purpose for a group of faithful Jewish worshipers
without a permanent home. This scene repeated itself for several years. For me it is Déjà Vu and in
some ways a confirmation on what interfaith relationships are supposed to be.
Unlike my parents experience in Palm Coast, Florida who met at the yacht club on Friday nights before the
Jewish community built their house of worship, we will have our own new location soon.
The preparation to move into our new location requires some thoughtful planning and vision. At this time I
am soliciting members to come forward and share their ideas on not only what a rededication celebration
should encompass, but to also think about the visual contents on the wall. Specifically, we will want to
capture our organization’s history in a story book fashion that kindles both members and visitors alike. I
would appreciate any volunteers, who can help sort items and put them into boxes, to come forward so
that the move to our next location occurs effortlessly. Please call the synagogue office and be counted.
This past Sunday through the efforts of Helen Gold, Adat Chaim continued to contribute and give back to
the community as it hosted a Red Cross blood drive. Thank you Helen.
A special “Thanks” goes out to Cathy Litofsky, not only in her active role as Sisterhood President, assuring
that Onegs happen week after week without interruption, but also as administrator to the Hebrew School
over the past two years. And, yes Editor of this Bulletin as well. This type of volunteer effort has played a
significant role in weathering the storm and allowing our charitable organization to move forward in this
period of transition.
It is my sincere belief that the human character is endowed by our creator to triumph over setbacks and
calamity. Not a year goes by that an act of nature, whether it is a Hurricane or Earthquake, befalls
mankind, only to see mankind pick up the pieces and rebuild. A car accident that may impede us today does
not prevent us tomorrow from driving to our next destination.
Tomorrow is just a day away . . .
Shalom,
Art

Rabbi David Greenspoon
Dear Adat Chaim,
It is early May as I write my rabbi’s article for the summertime. It is a dynamic time
for us. The board is looking at various locations for our next central address, and we
have a transitional address already identified. Our good friends and neighbors at
Trinity Lutheran Church have offered to host us in their Fellowship Hall for our High
Holy Day needs during the transition period. The Fellowship Hall is a spacious room
in a beautiful ten year old, totally modern building that is handicap accessible from
the parking lot through the building. I am grateful to our friends at Trinity for their gracious offer. We are
in discussions with Barbara Arbesman and the Hebrew Learning Center in Eldersburg about meaningful
ways to collaborate next year and really build a critical mass for our religious school program. Our Dugma
L’Dor teens recently celebrated the conclusion of their year, and are planning at least one summertime gettogether. Our ritual committee has completed a selection process for our High Holy Day cantor and it has
been affirmed by the board. Mr. Bill Slott is a baritone singer, and is credentialed as an International
Member of the Cantors Assembly who lives on Kibbutz Ketura in Israel. Bill grew up in Bethesda, and has
served Conservative congregations in Maryland and Maine for previous High Holy Days. He is excited to be
back in the mid-Atlantic region for the Holy Days. If you are interested in hosting Cantor Slott for a High
Holy Day meal, please let me know.
So with all this going on in the background, I am mindful of how difficult transitions are. Often times, it all
boils down to attitude. With that in mind, I’d like to share a story from the Torah. It is actually part of the
after-story of the 12 Princes and their junket through the Promised Land told in Parashat Shelah Lecha. In
the final word of the majority’s report, the princes say, “…we looked like grasshoppers to ourselves and so we
must have looked to them.” The rabbis in the midrash (Num. R. 16:1) imagine God’s response to their
words. “I don’t care how you describe yourselves in your own eyes.” the midrash has God say. “But how do
you know that I didn’t make you look like giants to them?”
There is a timeless message in this short statement. It is easy to be so caught up in the needs of the moment
that we lose a larger sense of perspective. This is especially true when in the chaos of transition, with no
clear destination or end in sight. Let me offer you some perspective you will hopefully find uplifting. Adat
Chaim is a congregation with deep strengths. We have a congregation populated by committed members in a
way that few others can claim. We are a congregation that has weathered other significant losses, and felt
our strength while doing so. Our teen programming is on the cusp of moving to the next level with both
middle school and high school cadres. Our religious school is poised to grow significantly through our
collaboration with The Hebrew Learning Center. Exciting adult education and other programming is being
planned. Sisterhood is preparing for another busy year. Perhaps most exciting for me is that our Shabbat
services continue to draw guests every week who are shul shopping. They come despite the misinformation
being spread through the community that “we are closing” and they share that they find the experience
positive and meaningful and the community warm and welcoming. So while it might be tempting to see
ourselves as poor little grasshoppers, perhaps it might be more accurate to see ourselves as a giant in
grasshopper garb. We may be small, but we are mightier than imaginable. Best yet, we are nowhere near
done realizing our potential and showing our larger community just how mighty we can be.
I look forward to sharing my next article in advance of the High Holy Days.
Anne, Miles, and Micah join me in wishing you a fabulous summer. May your travels, vacations, and
celebrations be exciting, relaxing, and filled with moments of joy.

Reminiscing by Alvin Bober
abober@verizon.net
June is a great month. No question the best weather of all 12 months is in June. It is balmy during the day
and the temperature stays above 50F at night. My garden is producing its first yields. There is nothing like
freshly picked vegetables.
This June we have the task of saying goodbye to 115 Cockeys Mill Road. The property served us for a long
time. The need to stay was in jeopardy when we realized that it was too expensive. Art Wolf and his
administration analyzed our predicament and formulated a solution. We leave 115 with sadness. We all have
pleasant memories of events there.

We have a special memory of my 2nd Bar Mitzvah. Our entire family participated. What was better
than to see our grandchildren lead the congregation in Ashrei. They were so nervous their parents had
to accompany them to the Bema.
Who can forget Cantor Wallach chanting Hinini on Yom Kippur? Her heart and soul was in her
responsibilities as our Cantor. Her full resonant voice interpreted the scriptures marvelously. She
always got to the Bema right as she finished the passage.
How about Rabbi Meyerstein’s twin granddaughters frolicking on the Bema’s steps during High
Holiday Services? The Rabbi had one eye on the children and one on the text. I know where both of my
eyes were focused.
Gary Posner with his deep bass voice on Purim. As an actor I’m glad he’s a successful attorney. It was
a delight to hear him in those Purim plays. Those festivities made Purim a real celebration.
Of course we all remember Rabbi Essrog and his sermons. He would always start with a joke or
comment that would set us up for a 20 to 30 minute sermon. The Rabbi always carried a sheaf of
papers to the pulpit but then spoke off the cuff.
How will Janet Korba, Tina Asher and their Sisterhood crew survive in another milieu? Those
Kiddishes that they arranged in our very own kitchen were delicious! Certainly I came to 115 for the
services but the Sisterhood’s efforts made me an enthusiastic congregant. Those salads---tuna fish, egg,
whitefish---were super.
Do you recollect the piano incident? I was a relatively new member when I became aware that we
didn’t have a piano at 115. I made some inquiries and I was given the green light to procure one. I
discovered a donor and a deal was made to transfer ownership to Adat Chaim. Were things finished?
No, I had to arrange transportation and the unit had to be tuned. Still before all of could be done the
underwriter insisted that the piano be tested for clarity and fidelity. Finally, we made it to the Bema.
Rabbi Greenspoon’s March Madness Midrash Mondays show that Adat Chaim is still an exciting
community. The fun of exploring the Midrash in a give and take manner is due to Rabbi Greenspoon’s
ingenuity. We are still inventive and open minded and a wonderful characteristic to carry forward.
The Annual Memorial Lecture sponsored by the Essrog family is a feature of Adat Chaim. The caliber
of invited speakers renewed our faith in Jewish scholarship. It was most amazing to hear these
speakers year after year at 115. We should try to carry these lectures with us to our new home. They’re
part of the fabric of Adat Chaim.
Wherever Adat Chaim lands, we are carrying a wonderful bag of memories. Let’s pitch in and make the future
of Adat Chaim outstanding.

Torah Tidbits - Compiled by Arlene Nusbaum
June 2
Naso
Numbers 4:21 – 7:89
Completing the head-count of the Children of Israel taken in the Sinai Desert, a total of 8,580 Levite men
between the ages of 30 and 50 are counted in a tally of those who will be doing the actual work of transporting
the Tabernacle.
God communicates to Moses the law of the wayward wife suspected of unfaithfulness to her husband. Also given
is the law of the Nazir who forswears wine, lets his or her hair grow long, and is forbidden to become
contaminated through contact with a dead body. Aaron and his descendants the priests are instructed on how to
bless the people of Israel.
The leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel each bring their offerings for the inauguration of the altar. Although
their gifts are identical, each is brought on a different day and is individually described by the Torah.
June 9
Beha’alotekha
Numbers 8:1 – 12:16
Aaron is commanded to raise light in the lamps of the menorah, and the tribe of Levi is initiated into the
service in the Sanctuary.
A "Second Passover" is instituted in response to the petition "Why should we be deprived?" by a group of Jews
who were unable to bring the Passover offering in its appointed time because they were ritually impure. God
instructs Moses on the procedures for Israel's journeys and encampments in the desert, and the people
journey in formation from Mount Sinai, where they had been camped for nearly a year.
The people are dissatisfied with their "bread from heaven" (the manna) and demand that Moses supply them
with meat. Moses appoints 70 elders, to assist him in the burden of governing the people. Miriam speaks
negatively of Moses and is punished with leprosy; Moses prays for her healing and the entire community waits
seven days for her recovery.
June 16
Shelach Lekha
Numbers 13: 1 – 15:41
Moses sends twelve spies to the Land of Canaan. Forty days later they return, carrying a huge cluster of grapes,
a pomegranate and a fig, to report on a lush and bountiful land. But ten of the spies warn that the inhabitants
of the land are giants and warriors "more powerful than we"; only Caleb and Joshua insist that the land can be
conquered, as God has commanded.
The people weep that they'd rather return to Egypt. God decrees that Israel's entry into the Land shall be
delayed forty years, during which time that entire generation will die out in the desert. A group of remorseful
Jews storm the mountain on the border of Land and are routed by the Amalekites and Canaanites.
The laws of the meal, wine and oil offerings are given, as well as the mitzvah to consecrate a portion of the
dough (challah) to God when making bread. A man violates the Shabbat by gathering sticks and is put to
death. God instructs to place fringes on the four corners of our garments so that we should remember to fulfill
the mitzvot.
8
June 23
Korach
Numbers 16: 1 – 18:32
Korach incites a mutiny challenging Moses' leadership and the granting of the priesthood to Aaron,
accompanied by Moses' foes, Dathan and Aviram. Joining them are 250 distinguished members of the
community, who offer the sacrosanct incense to prove their worthiness for the priesthood. The earth opens up
and swallows the mutineers, and a fire consumes the incense-offerers.
A subsequent plague is stopped by Aaron's offering of incense. Aaron's staff miraculously blossoms and brings
forth almonds to prove that his designation as High Priest is Divinely ordained.
God commands that an uplifting from each crop of grain, wine and oil, all firstborn sheep and cattle, and other
specified gifts be given to the priests.
June 30
Chukkat
Numbers 16: 1 – 18:32
Moses is taught the laws of the Red Heifer, whose ashes purify a person who has been contaminated by contact
with a dead body.
After 40 years of journeying through the desert, the people of Israel arrive in the wilderness of Zin. Miriam
dies and the people thirst for water. God tells Moses to speak to a rock and command it to give water. Moses
gets angry at the rebellious Israelites and strikes the stone. Water issues forth, but Moses is told by God that
neither he nor Aaron will enter the Promised Land.
Aaron dies at Har Hahar and is succeeded in the High Priesthood by his son Elazar. Venomous snakes attack
the Israelite camp after yet another eruption of discontent in which the people "speak against God and Moses";
God tells Moses to place a brass serpent upon a high pole, and all who will gaze heavenward will be healed.
The people sing a song in honor of the miraculous well that provided the water in the desert.
Moses leads the people in battles against the Emorite kings Sichon and Og (who seek to prevent Israel's
passage through their territory) and conquers their lands, which lie east of the Jordan.

Sisterhood

410.356.7288
Join the Sisterhood on Friday, June 8th as we celebrate Shabbat and host a
Shabbat dinner. Services are at 6:10PM that evening. We will welcome in
Shabbat together and continue to celebrate as we dine at the synagogue, share
some stories and memories of this past year and thank the Sisterhood Board
for their service. Reservations are required so that we can prepare a lovely
Shabbat meal. There will even be a few surprises for the evening. Contact
Tina Asher with your reservation at talkinteeny@verizon.net or call her at
410.523.6484. So Mark your calendar and save the date!
Thought for the month – Show Deference to the Elderly
In this passage Carol Ingall presents an entirely different understanding of hiddur mitzvah.
“Finding opportunities to embellish and seeing the possibility for beauty is yet another definition of
hiddur mitzvah. How else can we understand the obligation of taking care of the elderly as
V’hadarta p’nei zaken? (show deference to the elderly?) The verb contains the word hadar, which
means beauty. We are commanded to find beauty in the faces of the elderly and to treat them as we
would treat precious objects. While we love our children’s and grandchildren’s hand-made tattered
challah covers and grungy seder plates because they link us to our family history, there is also a
place for the elegant and esthetic, the beauty that appeals to the soul, elevating and ennobling.”
Questions for thought:
1. How does Ingall define beauty?
2. What are the cahllenges we face today with our graying society?
3. How can our Sisterhood contribute something positive to this issue?
I would love to hear your thoughts and answers to these questions.
Shalom until next month!
Cathy

"Gorka is widely heralded for the sophisticated intelligence and provocative
originality of his songs." - Boston Globe. John Gorka is an honored icon of folk
tradition. Energetic acoustic music that is not a trend, not a fad, but an expression of
everyday life, is his trademark. John's rich baritone voice and unique songcraft weave
a magical spell that can only be described as 'Gorka.’ "He weaves wry, slice of life
observations..." ~ Associated Press. Rising from a milieu of lovelorn
singer/songwriters, John Gorka illuminates instead with his trademark wordplay,
twisting, tuning and typing words and phrases in the way a balloon artist creates
complex creatures from simple balloons. Few contemporary songwriters coax
language as deftly as Gorka. For over two decades, Gorka’s keen ear has picked up
the stories of those along his path, folding them into poetry and song. his keen
perceptiveness inspires people from all over the world to share their stories. By
involving those tales in his music, he escapes the trap of introspection that hobbles
less gifted singer/songwriters. John Gorka flies below the pop culture radar with an
almost cult-like following that never fails to fill concerts. Speak with any of his fans and
one instantly feel’s their enthusiasm and genuine affection. His shy, almost selfeffacing stage presence rightfully focuses attention on the songs. His versatility on
guitar and piano keeps his sets musically interesting, while his rich baritone effortlessly
executes his bidding. And he’s never short of the sly comment or clever joke that
invariably ignites his audience. "The preeminent male singer-songwriter of the New
Folk Movement." ~ Rolling Stone.
