And of course, their father, Rabbi Ervin Birnbaum, our emeritus rabbi, was the spiritual leader that he always is for us all. It was a Birnbaum Family affair, with Bat-Ella contributing wonderfully to the inspirational ambience on Rosh Hashanna will her lovely voice and melodies. We can all be grateful for the hard preparatory work of Rachel Krupnik-Holman and to her help-meets, Benny Selezki, Edith Maor, Batya Fonda and many others from the kehilla who helped make these services a memorable and uplifting experience. Then, almost immediately following Yom Kippur, we were shocked by the fire which broke out in the kitchen. Thank God, even though there was a group activity going on – the Israeli dancing – noone was hurt. Morrie Kaporovsky took the full responsibility of following through vis-à-vis the insurance company and their repair team, who promptly and efficiently took action to fix the damage, so that by Friday afternoon the Shabbat services took place with virtually no sign that anything had taken place. In light of the fire it was decided to remove all use of gas in the building and to make the kitchen 100% electric. On Chol Hamoed Sukkot we once again enjoyed our Annual Joint Concert with Shearim Netanya, this time a klezmer concert with Ya’acov Yachnin and his band. The concert was an outstanding success, with a full house. And, once again, the thanks go to Rabbi Birnbaum and Morrie Kaporovsky, and their helpers, who worked mightily to sell tickets and ensure the success of this venture. Here’s hoping that successful events of this kind will bring in new blood and will help increase the membership of Bet Israel. Irit and I wish you all a Chag Urim Same’ach! Aron Krieser, President.

BICA : Bet Israel Cultural Activities Helen Brawer, after seven years of hard work as president of BICA, has now become mentor to the triumvirate of Hadassa Birnbaum, Edith Garfinkle and Millie Kaporovsky as the new copresidents. They lead a team including: Treasurer: Susan Goodman Secretary: Ida Plaut Membership: Sally Ross Fund-raising: Freda Sacharen (“Freda’s Shoppe”) Caring Committee: Batya Fonda Kiddushim: Nina Fishman and the Russian ladies (so loyal for so many years!) Shoppers: the Levins and the Kaporovskys, and Nina Fishman, and Social Secy: Harriet Kessler. At the Opening Meeting and Membership on 11 October, Natan Garfinkle, Edith’s 19 year-old grandson, who was Youth Shaliach for the Jewish Agency spoke about his year in Cincinnati, Ohio. We were all very impressed by Natan’s maturity and professionalism and his poise. His work; spreading the message of the Israeli spirit to schools, young adults, non-Jewish organizations and community centers. On Shabbat 21 November there was a special Simchat Shabbat Kiddush sponsored by BICA in honor of our heroine and holocaust survivor Miriam Liptscher. BICA has also dedicated a leaf on the “Tree of Life” to Miriam. On Sunday 6 December at 6pm BICA is hosting a Chanuka Party featuring the Kim Usanov Choir of Shearim Netanya. As always we invite everybody to bring their chanukiyya from home and light up together with us all. There will be festive, in-house-made refreshements, including sufganiyot and latkes (see the front page for details). We look forward to a stimulating year, and you are all invited to take part in our activities. If you have a suggestion for a particular program that you think would be enjoyable for a wide audience, please let us know.
