President's Message
Dear Chaverim:
The beginning of summer marks a new fiscal year and hopefully a new beginning of togetherness at our beloved Temple Beth Sholom. On June 30th, our current Board of Directors will complete their 2020-21 term. I am extremely grateful for their hard work and dedication especially during the past year dealing with the challenges of the pandemic. Running a Synagogue is a team effort, and I am very fortunate that I have worked with an extremely talented team. They have sacrificed their time with their spouses and families while contributing their considerable talents and accomplishing so much for our Temple community as I related in my message last February.
As per our Temple Bylaws, I am providing you notice of the people on our nominating committee. They are Ilene Herr as Chair, our Board members, Paul Newman, Neil Perlman and Shelley Freeman and our Non-Board members, David Pelzman, Kayla Spellman and Jackie Stevens. They are preparing a slate for the Temple’s Board of Directors for the next fiscal year. I would like to thank these members on behalf of the Congregation for the time given to eliciting new TBS members to replace those that are retiring from the Board.
On June 27 we will have our biannual Congregational meeting at which time, you will have the opportunity to vote on the slate of officers and directors for the FY 2021-22. You will be receiving the list of the candidates generated by the Nominating Committee in the upcoming notice for the Congregational meeting.
The members who have agreed to serve on your Board, do so out of love for our Temple and our Jewish Community. The slate will include some current Board Members who will remain in their current positions and others who will be new to the Board.
We will also be voting on an amendment to our Bylaws that will allow the TBS Executive Board to extend the three-year term for an officer or director for one additional year only, should the Executive Board determine its needed to complete the mission of that position. The proposed Bylaw amendment will be included in the upcoming notice.
Lastly, with the school year over and summer break about to start, the weeks ahead bring some much-needed R&R for many of you. I hope you and your families are able to take advantage of the break to recharge and renew. Temple life continues uninterrupted and we hope you will recharge with us as we need your support and participation with our Shabbat Services Friday night and Saturday mornings as well as our weekly minyans on Tuesday night and Thursday morning.
We in fact, look forward to reinitiating our “in-person BLTs” on Shabbat mornings during this summer following our Red, White and Blue Shabbat service on July 2. Also, we will have our annual Flip Flop Shabbat on August 13 at which time we will also recognize and celebrate our High School and College graduates.
I look forward to seeing you at the Congregation Meeting and at our many events and Services over the next couple of months and wish you and your family a restful and enjoyable summer.
L’Shalom,
Bill Troner, President
