Here are this month’s Mitzvah Heroes! Remember, if there
is someone (youth or adult) who you feel should be acknowledged for a mitzvah, contact Debbie Sokoler (432-1392 or
dsokoler@bethemethalbany.org). It’s that simple!
Brianna Price created a soccer tournament to raise funds
for the Crohns and Colitis Foundation. She raised $750!
Mara Warford has been spending time on a weekly basis
with a Holocaust survivor – she wanted to make a difference in
the life of a survivor. Mara believes that her Mitzvah Project has
now turned into a friendship that she will always cherish.
If you have a child graduating from High School or College
we would love to include them in our Bulletin. Please send
students name, degree or future plans to Debbie Schaffer at
bulletin@BethEmethAlbany.org.
Bulletin Deadline
All articles for the July/ August Bulletin
should be submitted by June 10th.

As I begin my final column as President,
I feel like I’m getting ready for graduation.
On the one hand, I’ve given it my all and am
looking forward to new opportunities and
challenges. On the other hand, moving on is
bittersweet. My two years as a Board
member and eight years as an Officer have,
as Rabbi Shpeen promised they would,
been a wonderful experience.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with our diligent
Officers, Board of Trustees, affiliates, dedicated clergy and
staff, engaged past presidents and so many committed congregants building on our solid foundation and strengthening our
congregational community. Listening to each other and working
collaboratively we have sustained important long standing
traditions while creating equally important new opportunities for
connection and relationship building. We have been willing to
respectfully bring important discussions into the open even
when we don’t agree. We have been eager to discuss new
ideas and explore different ways of doing things. I am so proud
of the progress that we have made together as a congregational family. But as we know, the process of becoming the best
that we can be, is never ending.
For me, engaging in this effort for a sustained period of
time, with people that I care about and respect, with whom I
share a common commitment, has been joyful, exhilarating and
extremely fulfilling. I am so appreciative of having had this
opportunity!
Now, as I prepare to join the ranks of our past presidents
and find new ways to contribute to our community, please know
how grateful I will always be for the warmth and support that
you showed me and how proud I will always be of having
served as President of CBE.
Warm regards,
Jill Goodman, President

During April our members distributed almost 2,500 Yom
HaShoah yellow candles to households throughout the capital
region. Thank you to all who assisted with this project. Through
this year’s candle contributions, Brotherhood has chosen to
support the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous. The Foundation provides financial support to more than 600 non-Jews who
rescued Jews during the Holocaust and preserves their legacy
through a national education program. You can learn more
about JFR by visiting www.jfr.org. We hope you will return a
contribution to Brotherhood with your usual generosity.
More than a dozen Brotherhood members participated in
the CBE/JCC Health Fair making box lunches and helping
vendors unload their vehicles. Over Memorial Day weekend,
Brotherhood marked more than three-hundred graves of
Jewish war veterans with American flags at the Loudonville and
Bethlehem cemeteries. If we missed your family member,
contact the office and they will update the records for next year.
We are planning a couple of exciting events this summer
including the Valley Cats baseball game on Sunday, July 20th
at 4:00 p.m. The cost is $25 for adults and $20 for children
under 12. Sunday, August 24th at 12:30 p.m., we will hold
another “Day At The Races” at the Saratoga flat track. Check
the bulletin flyers or the website for complete details and
registration information.
As my term as Brotherhood president comes to an end, I
want to extend my appreciation to our board members for their
support and hard work over these past three years. I look
forward to continuing to lead the Brotherhood Chefs for our
dinners and assorted events. Please contact Mark Swyer, our
incoming president, to serve on the Brotherhood board or
volunteer for an event.
Thank you for your support,

On Thursday, May 8th, over 100 Sisterhood members and
friends attended the Susan B. Shpeen Memorial Donor Dinner.
The event’s success was made possible due to the
commitment and hard work of the fabulous committee and to
the support from the staff at Beth Emeth. Heartfelt thanks go
out to Lisa Finkle, Julie Koenig, Heather Linsk, Beth Monaco,
Leslie Newman, Lynn Warheit, Kathy Golderman, Joan Paley
and Steve Squires. The evening included a delicious meal,
pleasant conversations, delightful cabaret style entertainment,
the passing of several amendments to the constitution and
accepting nominations for new board members and officers. It
was indeed a night to remember - and a night to add to the
continuing story of Sisterhood.
Mazel tov to the new officers and new board members of
Sisterhood! Officers: Lisa Finkle and Robyn Marinstein—copresidents, Elizabeth Epstein - vice president, Beth Monaco recording secretary, Gayle Farman and Sue Melnikoff - cocommunication secretaries, and board members: Beth Davis,
Melissa Greenberg and Nancy Preston.
This month marks the beginning of the Sisterhood
Membership Campaign. Your involvement in Sisterhood is
personal. You can be a participant, you can be a planner or you
can be a dues paying member. Whatever membership path
you take, you are a valued member of Sisterhood and we look
forward to sharing another year together. Watch your mailbox
and email for membership information.
With warmest regards,

It is impossible to believe I am completing my second year
as Chair of the Social Action Committee. It continues to be one
of the most pleasurable volunteer leadership experiences of
my life.
Social Justice and Social Advocacy have been important
to me almost from birth. The intelligence, energy and drive of
Barbara Zaron and Arleen Stein in leading this effort for our
committee continues to be inspiring and enlightening. They are
heroes in my eyes.
The Soup Kitchen would not continue to operate without
the yeoman work of Ron Miller, Joe Bierman, Terry Freidland
and Tom Spagnoletti who get the crew chiefs and menus set.
Roberta Fox organizes scheduling of the crews. Register
on-line to volunteer for Soup Kitchen and Diane’s Farm.
The support and involvement of Sisterhood and Brotherhood with the Soup Kitchen and so much more helps me feel
part of a very committed community. Lee Rosen, who has
been our liaison to/from the Executive Committee of the Board
of Trustees, has provided great support and wisdom in helping
me over these first two years. The entire Board has provided
support and often participation in our activities.
I want to thank Jill Goodman for her two years of leading
the congregation and making all of us feel so very special.
She has been a treasure and will continue to be.
In the next column I will continue highlighting the people
and programs that help make this position such a fulfilling
activity. Get involved!

support for GLBT rights, funding for public education and a livable minimum wage—and offered personal perspectives, Jewish teachings
and other information and prepared remarks
with the help of Rabbi Ross and their teachers.

The Clergy of Beth Emeth take great pride in making
themselves available to the members of our congregation at
the time of their pastoral needs.
However, in recent years the realities of hospital visitations
have changed dramatically. First, because of the HIPPA Laws,
the Temple is only notified of the hospitalization of a member IF
the hospital is specifically instructed to do so OR if a family
member chooses to inform us. Secondly, the typical length of a
hospital stay has decreased significantly and many procedures
require a minimal stay if any.
In addition, we understand and fully respect the privacy of
our members in that many individuals do not want or require a
pastoral visit while hospitalized and, in fact, an unscheduled
visit might well interrupt their recuperation, rehabilitation schedule or testing procedure.
In light of this, please be reminded that if you are hospitalized and would, indeed, welcome the visit of a member of our
Clergy or are in need of pastoral attention, PLEASE either have
the hospital chaplain or nurse be in touch with us (as they can
easily do) OR have a relative or friend let us know. The Clergy
are not routinely in the hospitals and ONLY make calls upon
request because of the aforementioned reasons and out of
respect for your privacy.

The garage sale begins with opening night on Saturday evening, June 28th, 7-9 p.m. with the main event on
Sunday, June 29th, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The final sale day is on Monday, June 30th, 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. Volunteer forms
are with the bulletin, on the website, and available in the Beth Emeth office. Please volunteer, even if only for a
couple of hours. This is the major fundraising event for Beth Emeth and we need your support with donations and
volunteering.
Donation drop off times are listed below including evening hours on Monday and Tuesday. This information is also
on the web site.
Donation Drop Off Date-Times
Sunday, June 22, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Monday, June 23, 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Tuesday, June 24, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Donations exclude: major appliances, black & white TVs, non-LCD TVs (only LCD TVs accepted), large
TVs, CRT computer monitors (only LCD monitors accepted), dot matrix printers, old fax machines, tires,
mattresses, underwear, swimsuits, infant car seats, or cribs not meeting federal child safety guidelines,
magazine collections, encyclopedias, or textbooks. Magazine collections such as
“National Geographic” cannot be accepted since these items just do not sell.
Sorry, no pickups this year.
Clothing should not have holes, be stained, moldy, musty, or smoky. Items should be
washed or cleaned. Please take a little extra time and effort to clean-up your donations
and avoid donating junk!!! Bind shoes with rubber bands or lace them together, with the size
marked on the sole with magic marker. Please use hangers for clothing where practical since
this facilitates the sorting process.
In order for the garage sale to be a success, we need your help. If you have volunteered in
the past or have not yet participated, we encourage your involvement. If you have any questions
or want to serve on the garage sale committee contact the Temple office or e-mail Margie at
mdorkin@nycap.rr.com.
Thanks for your continued support.
Rob and Margie Dorkin
