A Brief Update

    It's been a busy week! While many of you may be on the edge of your seats wondering what else 2020 could bring besides a pandemic, Sahara Dust, and murder hornets, your Beth Shalom Board has met for the very first time, this past Tuesday, for the fiscal year 2020-2021, on Zoom. Believe it, or not, we met for three hours (again, on Zoom!) and covered a lot of ground. We know that Covid-19 is on the minds of everyone and we are extremely aware of how different our "normal" is looking right now.

    Please know that all of you are on our minds, but especially mine, as we navigate through this pandemic. I am especially proud of our Beth Shalom Task Force who has been meeting each week to determine the risks and the benefits of a potential reopening of the building. Unfortunately, if our collective communities of Dekalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett can't get our Covid numbers moving into a downward trend, we will need to stick with what is working for us now, which is Streamspot (I hope you all tuned in last week and noticed a few changes!) and Zoom . However, we have an amazing group of individuals who are working to provide outdoor programming for our families who are looking to connect with each other. Tonight's food truck is one of those events. I hope to see you at the event, which will be held in our back parking lot!

    To quote one of our task force members, Dr. Louise Short, "Mask up, wash up, and back up!" Please stay safe when you venture out your doors!

    Beth Shalom is here for you, even though we are apart!

Wendy Widis; President

When I got the call last Friday afternoon, I could hear the excitement in his voice.  "Wendy," he said, "I'm in kind of a silly mood, but I think I have a great idea that will connect with the congregation."  With a smile on my face, I asked, "What is it? Tell me."  He went on to explain that he had seen Hamilton at the Fox Theater when it was in town, but it wasn't until he watched it on Disney+, recently, that he realized he could create something really special. He indicated that the song performed by the king would be perfect for him, considering the current circumstances we all are facing, and proceeded to perform the parody for me over the phone, with just one verse left to write.  My immediate reaction was, "You have to do this!"  Little did I know that just three short days later, I would receive an email with a link to his YouTube parody of "You'll Be Back!" from the acclaimed Broadway musical, Hamilton .

Pass the honey!

What are your New Year traditions?  For me, it's a blintze casserole sitting amongst a buffet of bagels, tuna and egg salad, apples and honey, and a few glasses of wine after services on the first day of Rosh Hoshana. The blintze casserole is a staple this time of year, especially with pie filling that has been slowly warmed on the stove to pour over each serving. This coupled with a home full of friends and family make the gathering even more special. Unfortunately, this year another holiday will look and feel a bit different. Although the spiritual traditions of years' past have been corrupted by "the pandemic" (I feel like this word is mentioned so often these days that I now need to use it in quotes.), Jews around the world, and in our own communities, have stepped up in creative ways to celebrate those spiritual traditions that we all know and love. For example, Beth Shalom offered a community-wide Passover Seder on Zoom, from the rabbi's home, in the Spring.
