Going away to overnight Jewish camp has been recognized as a great way to inculcate Jewish values and strong

identities in youth. On ReformJudaism.org, it’s written, “Jewish summer camps fuse the activities, friendships, and

communal life of traditional camps with the Jewish values, role models and culture our shared heritage. This uniquely

immersive experience provides a confidence-building opportunity in which campers experience joy and discovery in a

communal Jewish setting.”

We have some youth from our congregation going away to camp and others will be having some unique Jewish ex-

periences. These are the ones I know of. Hoping your child will get to do Jewish next summer!

Camp Newman: Ar i & Kai Fitzer , Jessa Kleinman, and Elizabeth Halbreich are spending two weeks at our

URJ leadership camp in Northern CA at the Cal State Maritime campus.

● Kai writes, “Thank you, Temple Beth David, for helping us to be able to go to an overnight Jewish camp to

connect with our religion, and make friends and memories that will last a lifetime.”

● Ari writes, “I hope to get back the same enjoyment I got the first time I went there.”

● Jessa writes, “This will be my fourth summer going to Camp Newman. I look forward to it throughout the

entire year.”

● Elizabeth writes, “I had an ever better time last year than the year before and I am ecstatic to return this year

to all of my friends.”

● Rabbi Myers: I continue to be impressed with the excitement of our youth in being at camp and learning

about Judaism. (I’ll be there the first two week in July)

6-points Sci Tech: Jacob Cantus is returning to our URJ camp in LA this summer .

● Jacob writes, “I want to go to overnight Jewish summer camp because it’s really fun. I liked the Erev Big

Bang. This was a science experience very night. I had so much fun and can’t wait to go back again!”

Camp Gilboa Habonim: McKenzie Pantel will be going for a whole month!

● She writes, “First of all, it’s a great way to learn about Judaism…the bonds at camp are unlike any other

made.”

Israel: Shane Prunty is going on the month long NFTY in Israel tr ip.

● He writes, “I am looking forward to exploring the culture of Israeli Jews and learning more about my Jewish

identity through it.”

Maccabi games: Vivian Halbreich is going to Detroit in August to compete in softball. Hayden Nguyen will be

playing soccer in Atlanta.

● Vivian explained to me that she is looking forward to having new Jewish experiences especially while doing

something she loves.

● Hayden is excited to play soccer with other Jewish girls from around the world in an Olympic like experi-

ence. She is hoping to learn soccer skills from players from other countries that she can then teach her

team.

I’m looking forward, as I’m sure you are, to hearing about our youth’s experiences this summer.

Youth are doing Jewish this Summer

Rabbi Myers July/August 2019

The Mother's Day Brunch was a hit once again. The Junior Choir still continues to charm the audience with

their music and dialogues. This year Sharon Matalon stepped in to lead her former charges and write their dialogues,

because Cantor Linder was out of town. Bob Altman accompanied on the piano.

The food and mimosas were good and plentiful. It was Lee Netzer's last brunch as Culinary Director. Thanks

to him for four years of hard work and good food. Helping with the brunch were Ted Cohen, Steve Loken, and Scott

Telford, who gave a brief history of Mother's Day. Eileen Tobey brought the bagels. Thanks to all.

On Sunday, May 19th, Brotherhood hosted the Final Day of Jewish School Barbeque for about 50 students,

parents, staff and teachers. Lee Netzer and Steve Loken prepared and offered hot dogs, hamburgers, vegiburgers, and

provided snacks and drinks. Sisterhood provided ice cream.

During July Brotherhood has no social events planned. Our members can enjoy their own summer plans.

Mark your calendar. On the afternoon of Sunday, August 25th, Brotherhood will hold our annual Member-

ship Barbeque to kickoff our membership drive. Planning for the barbeque is still preliminary, but again this year we

will welcome all Chavurah members. The meal is complimrntary. Brotherhood is planning to serve the drinks and

main dishes, probably burgers, hotdogs, vegiburgers, or similar... We will ask attendees to provide other dishes on a

pot luck basis, such as salads and desserts. This is just an outline, so check Shavua Tov for the flier and details

Every Man a Member!

Growing into new changes, takes a little time, practice and patience. It does not happen over-night, and takes on different meaning for each person. The first time I attended services at Beth David, and having come from a more conservative background, I was caught by surprise by all of the liveliness and camaraderie that was going on before services were to begin, especially in this Synagogue. There were so many conversations going on around me that my first thought was, 'How is anyone here preparing for services to start or much less hear anything, when they're not even in their seats' ?! Just when I was having my thoughts , Rabbi Nancy Myers walked in, stood on the Bimah, and in her private moment, recited the Berakhah /Bracha for the Tallis, and then moved right in to starting our service... and just like that, it was truly magical! Greetings and Welcomes were made, and just then I could immediately feel a shift of calm and peace settle upon the sanctuary and its congregants. Seconds later, voices simmered down to a low roar, then whispers, then silence and rapt attention. Fast forward... Now, I too am one of those lively people that talk and laugh before services start.

Shalom and love, Crystal Crystal Bushinsky

The Malka Family Las Vegas comes to Westminster...thanks to Barrie, Angela,

Toby and Eddie Malka. We are so glad they are here...and

there’s no cover charge! The Malka family is the newest

addition to the Beth David family.

Papa Barrie is a sabra! Yes, he was born in Israel, as were his parents, and he still has relatives

living there. Barrie came to the United States when he was two years old, and with his family,

settled in Las Vegas. He has received his education in this country, but is a fluent Hebrew

speaker. When he came of bar mitzvah age, Barrie returned to Israel to visit family and to

become a bar mitzvah at the Wall. He returned home to Las Vegas to complete his education

and to meet the love of his life, his high school sweetheart, Angela. They married after high

school. Barrie worked as a delivery driver until the family took off for new a new desert home,

Southern California. Deserts seem to be in Barrie’s genes!

Mama Angela is home grown, right here in Cypress, California. As fate would have it, Angela’s

family moved to Las Vegas when she was eleven years old. And of course, you know what is

coming...Angela and Barrie met while in high school and their love has continued to this day.

They were married in January of 2006...in Las Vegas. Two spirited little boys followed; Toby,

who is now a seventh grader, and Eddie, who is finishing first grade. Angela worked there as an

aesthetician until she received an offer to work at Disneyland….the Malka family packed up and

headed west.

While Angela is working, Barrie and the boys enjoy visiting Knott’s Berry Farm, and of course,

taking in the joys of Disneyland. They can be found at Tempe Beth David for many a Friday

shabbat, and when Angela has time off, she joins them. Barrie says the family immediately felt

at home at Beth David – appreciated the warm welcome. The boys are enrolled in Jewish

School, and Barrie is the newest Choir member.

From Temple Beth David to the Malka family….welcome!

Have you Met……………...

In June all efforts by Prime Minister

Netanyahu to form a new government fell apart.

Israelis went to the polls in April expecting to elect

the next government. The incumbent Prime Minister,

Benjamin Netanyahu, seemed to be in position to

form a majority coalition out of the 120 seat

allocations determined by the voters. The 21st

Knesset was sworn in on April 30. Based on the

election results, President Rivlin asked Prime

Minister Netanyahu to form a new government.

The Prime Minister failed to attract enough

coalition partners on the right. So, to prevent the

center-left Blue and White party, headed by his rival

former military Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, from

being allowed the opportunity to form a new center

left government, the Prime Minister moved to

dissolve the newly elected parliament. On May 30,

he succeeded as the Knesset voted to dissolve itself,

thus requiring a new election, scheduled for

September 17. The Knesset had lasted only 51 days

and managed to pass one piece of legislation: the bill

to dissolve itself. This marked two firsts in Israel's

71 years, the failure to form a government, and the

Knesset acting to disolve itself.

The Knesset is still in charge, but it has gone

from a post election Knesset in April to a pre

election, interim government. There is a Supreme

Court decision that limits interim Knessets from

making drastic changes, thus it is unable to start

negotiating a new budget for 2020, will not be able to

make any decisions about economic reform. The new

status has allowed Prime Minister Netanyahu to

reshape his cabinet by removing incumbents from

their ministerial cabinet posts. Most important was

political enemy Neftali Bennet, the former Education

Minister, who had remained as Eduation Minister.

Bennet was not reelected to the Knessset, although he

could have continued in the cabinet. The Prime

Minister now has an oppprtunity to change his

cabinet, and to build new alliances. On a less

promising note for him, he is trying by political

maneuvering to avoid indictment by the Attorney

General on three separate corruption charges.

As for the peace proposal, an outline of the

economic portion of the US administrations,

"ultimate deal", was posted last Saturday, June 22, on

the White House website. It was presented to a

workshop of friendly Gulf States in Bahrain to

explain the $50 billion the plan requires from Gulf

States. The workshop is being attended by some mid-

level government officials, and a small continget of

Israeli business resentatives allowed to enter the

country. The release of the entire plan, including the

political portion, will probably happen in November,

after Israel's September election.

The partial plan’s 40 pages enthusiastically

endorse expressions of Palestinian identity, from

Palestinian food to universities, and it hints at

political outcomes. Not mentioned, however, is

Palestinian statehood. The plan could upset Israeli

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, especially after

an expected win in the September election, as he tries

to forge a coalition with those to the right of his

Likud party.

The plans outcomes would put Netanyahu in

a tough squeeze: He has been unremitting in his

embrace of President Trump, for recognizing

Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, recognizing Israeli

sovereignty over the Golan Heights, pulling out of the

Iran nuclear deal that Netanyahu detests, and for

defunding the Palestinians. Trump effectively

campaigned for Netanyahu in April’s election.

Elements of the plan portend security

compromises that Netanyahu might be loath to make.

Chief among them is a $5 billion transportation

project that would link the Gaza Strip and the West

Bank. The link, must inevitably cross Israeli

territory, and allow Palestinian farmers greater access

to water and arable land. The plan proposes a vast

expansion of border crossings, which will incur costs

for Israel to secure and staff the crossings. There are

also proposals to register Palestinian ownership of

land, which is important but fraught with problems.

Kushner offered skeptics his position that

what the administration "is hoping to do is create a

framework where we can change the discussion and

get people to look at these problems differently and in

moredetail, and hopefully in a way that can lead to

some breakthroughs." The plan should pose

interesting and important issues, so stay tuned. We

should be exploring the plan and its impact, before

the end of the year.

Israel, and the Wall Street Journal.
