I got the COVID Blues
Rabbi Myers January/February 2021
Is it because I have at least 4 crumbled face masks in my purse at any given time? Maybe it’s the multiple bottles
of hand sanitizer that are strewn on my desk and rolling around in my car. Perhaps, it’s because I can’t go to the movie
theater or restaurants. Or is it the lack of socialization with friends, family, and congregants? It’s likely all the above
because I got the Covid blues. I’m sure you do, too. There is so much hardship, illness, anxiety and worry to fill an
ocean. And even with a vaccine just starting to be accessible, we are still deep in the depths. Despair, frustration, and
agitation inflict all of us, at some point or another, as we strive to get through the days, weeks, and months.
Rabbi Nahman of Bratzlav, a late 18th century Hassidic rabbi, offers some perspective on times of darkness and
uncertainty. He writes in Likutei Moharan about the thick cloud at Sinai where revelation was to occur. The Israelites
saw this threatening cloud and backed away from it. When times are hard, when we are fearful, there is an instinct to
withdraw and step back. However Bratzlav says, “The hindrance is like a thick cloud, for a thick cloud is dark and a
hindrance is dark.” What is a hindrance? For Bratzlav, it is anything that obscures God’s presence. For us, hindrances
can be letdowns, moments of doubt, obstacles, challenges, and hardship. We all experience great disappointments and
lapses of hope. But what do we do when we find ourselves surrounded by darkness?
Bratzlav teaches that “God actually hides the divine self in the hindrance.” That is, in the hardest of times, in the
darkness night in Egypt, God is there. Bratzlav says that Moses understood this and stepped into the cloud. As he
walked through it, he experiences the hidden God.
It’s an intriguing thought. Many of us associate God when good things happen such as the birth of a child, a
majestic mountain, recovery, or the beautiful ocean. Bratzlav, however, says that God can be found especially in the
thick clouds of doubt, uncertainty, and fear. In other words, when there is sorrow and pain, God is in the darkness and
we shouldn’t step back from it, rather we need to traverse through it.
So one has to ask oneself, “Where is God in this pandemic?” We can say in the tireless work of our health care
workers, the incredible scientists who have created multiple vaccines, and all the essential workers who keep the
grocery stores stocked and our streets safe. But we can experience God also in those precious moments of connection
when we talk with a loved one, relate to a friend on a screen, and experience a bit of goodness from another. There are
many who are using this time of darkness, to elevate their humanity by doing what they can, to help others and raise up
friends who succumb to the Covid blues. In essence, there is godliness even in hard times. There is light in darkness
and opportunity in adversity. May our hope and perseverance give us some illumination as we traverse the obscure
months ahead. May we know that God is with us even in darkness and that we are never alone. And perhaps together,
we can lessen the Covid blues knowing that there are better times to come.

President’s Message
“Family and comfort.”
- Teri Roth on “What Beth David means to Us”
Strong communities support their people and the strength of our Beth David community
has never been more apparent than it was at the end of 2020. As we all know, layoffs
and declining incomes are but a few of the many challenges people around the country
and the world are facing as a result of the pandemic. For many of us, these challenges
seem distant – we see it on the news, or hear stories of friends of friends. But some in
our community were really listening last fall, and began to hear stories from our Beth
David members: stories of real hardship, months of unemployment, struggles to buy
food or make rent.
In response, quietly and behind the scenes, one of our stalwart members with a (very)
big heart moved quickly to respond. With a few text messages and phone calls, this
person procured flagship donations made anonymously. Within a week, assistance was
sent out to members. As this all took shape, it stood for me as yet another reminder of
who we are as a community. We support and look after our members. As an aside, if
you are interested in participating, please reach out to the Rabbi and she can guide you
in making an anonymous contribution as well.
With this as backdrop, let’s all take a moment to celebrate who we are and what we can
do as a Temple family. We are fortunate to have so many members of our community
who volunteer their time enhancing our worship, music, and making our technology
work. We have incredible men and women in our Brotherhood and Sisterhood creating
programs that are very meaningful. Our Caring Community reaches out in compassion
and love to those experiencing loss. And many of you take the time to call one another
helping us know that we are not alone.
This is a time where we can continue to comfort each other as we share stories, cross
paths real and virtual, and look forward to what more we can do together in the coming
months and years.
Sincerely,
Andrea Chait
Andrea Chait-Walter, President

Brotherhood
January/February 2021 By Lee Netzer
As we enter the New Calendar Year, I can see light at the end of a dark tunnel, and look forward with renewed hope that
things will return to some semblance of normality in the not too distant future. In the meantime, the Brotherhood will con-
tinue to operate in pandemic mode. The latest casualty was the December 13 Chanukah celebration, which was funded by
the Brotherhood. It was originally scheduled as an in-person event outside, but with the virus raging out of control, the
only safe option was a virtual, live streamed event. Nevertheless, it was a joyous celebration, with teachings by the Rabbi,
songs by the Cantor, a very entertaining and funny magician, and a Chanukiah-making competition, with videos of the
winning entries shown. The winners were Aubree Semmelman in the child category and Keri Gee Semmelman in the adult
category. Aubree received a $25 Target gift card and Keri Gee received a $100 Cheesecake Factory gift card, which I de-
livered to them that afternoon. For those of you who didn’t get a chance to see the 30 minute performance by magician
Hayden Allcorn, I recorded a seven minute clip of his performance. To view the clip, click here.
Because the Chanukah celebration was virtual, the religious school children were unable to pick up the gift bags the Broth-
erhood prepared for them at the celebration, so we delivered them two days later. The gift bags consisted of a dreidel, sev-
eral pieces of Chanukah “gelt,” a jelly donut, and a surprise gift. Many thanks to Alan Jarrick, Greg Korduner, Jeff
LeBoff, Steve Loken, Rabbi Nancy Myers, Elaine Netzer, Charlie Niederman, and Elliot Semmelman for helping with the
deliveries, and to Steve and Elaine for helping to prepare the gift bags.
The next Brotherhood brunch, held in conjunction with Adult Education, is on January 10, 2021 at 11 a.m. on Zoom. The
subject of the Brunch is very timely and appropriate: 2021 The New Normal, From the Medical, Psychological, and Jew-
ish Point of View. Panelists include Dr. Jeffrey Seitelman, Psychiatrist; Dr. Aaron Kern, MD; and Rabbi Nancy Myers.
The Brotherhood is also offering a brunch, delivered to your door, for $11.50. For additional details, click here.
On January 31, the Brotherhood will be holding its 13 Annual Texas Hold’em Tournament, but this year, it will be a vir-
th
tual tournament where people can participate from the safety and comfort of their own homes. For details about the tour-
nament and how to register, click here. Sorry, but Howie’s famous French dip sandwiches will have to wait until 2022.
The Brotherhood will hold its annual Shabbat service on February 12, 2021, but as with everything during the pandemic, it
will be a virtual service. Details about the service are still being worked out. As is our tradition, I will announce the 2021
Brotherhood Man of the Year during the service.
The Brotherhood/Sisterhood Membership Dinner is on the calendar for February 6, 2021, but Sisterhood President Laurie
Schneider and I agreed to postpone it until late Spring or early Summer, with the hope that we will be able to hold it safely
outside. Similarly, the Brotherhood’s “Matzo Ball” event, featuring Douglas “The Crooner” Roegiers, comedy by Barry
Weisenberg, and a delicious Italian dinner, will have to be postponed yet again. It was originally scheduled for April 10,
2020, and is on the calendar for February 27, 2021, but we felt that we could not do justice to this in a virtual event. We
are hoping to reschedule it for later this year, once it’s safe to do so.
Every Man a Member!

SISTERHOOD SISTERHOOD MATTERS!
By Laurie Schneider, Sisterhood President January/February 2021
SISTERHOOD MATTERS…
Anne Frank said, “What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our
lives haven’t even happened yet.”
What a beautiful quote, especially as we end a difficult 2020 and look ahead to
2021.
Sisterhood has some plans which we hope will help you to create more good days
in your lives. First, we are forming Affinity Groups. These are groups of like-minded
women, like getting together for coffee, but online. It’s a virtual way to check in,
share resources and ideas, and find meaningful connections with other women. The
affinity can be whatever you have in common. Our first group plans to focus on
food and movies and will be meeting on January 3 at 3 PM. If you are interested,
even if you missed the first meeting or want to focus on a different topic, please
send an email to sisterhood@templebethdavid.org, and we will connect you. This is
such a great way to meet with others, keep connected, and stave off the loneliness
many of us are experiencing right now.
Another program to help us all cope will be on February 18 at 7 PM, when our own
wise and dear Dr. Lois Abrams will speak about “Connecting and Communicating in
the Time of Covid-19”. Please see the flyer elsewhere in the Megillah for details and
be sure to join us for this worthwhile program.
It is my sincere wish that 2021 brings us all good health and good days! I hope to
see you soon, virtually, and eventually, in person.
With love,
Laurie

Message from Membership Chair
Todah Rabah…..to every congregation member of Beth David. This past
year has been filled with fear, angst, loneliness. We have found ourselves
locked in an unimaginably small world, unable to perform the simple
functions we have always taken for granted...grocery shopping, getting a
haircut, going to a place of employment, meeting a friend for lunch, and
even going to the doctor – and more painful, missing our children, our grandchildren, not being
able to hug or touch someone, and yes, not going to Temple.
For those of you who may not know...despite the setbacks and the fear, virtually every Beth
David member has renewed and continued to support the Temple. It would have been easy for
many of us to say, ‘Not this year”….but that is not what happened. Beth David is our second
home and each and every one of you demonstrated how much the Temple means to you. You
not only renewed, you demonstrated your love and caring by live streaming High Holy Day and
Shabbat services, by donating whatever you could, and by continuing to support the religious
and secular activities so important to the heart and soul of Beth David. Whew! In short, Beth
David has made it, thanks to you!
We are now coming to the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. We all hold our breaths as
we wait for our turn. For some it will be soon, for others there will be a wait. But I hope you
can imagine the prayers we will give next High Holy Days...the thanks, we hope, for being
together again, the gratefulness for having come through this experience with our health, and
that of our families and friends, intact, and hopefully, the great pleasure of turning OFF the
technology, at least for a while. We do not know exactly what our Temple world will look like
in September, but we can hope and imagine………
L’Shalom,
Florence

I will reopen the Library. I plan to buy the Sydney Taylor award winning and Jewish
Book Council award winning Jewish children’s books in early February after the
awards have been announced. This should be 4 or 5 new Jewish books for children
in the library.
I have set up a Jewish Book Fair. This book fair will run until further notice. The
link is https://bookshop.org/shop/bethdavid. If you want to buy a book or books
you can choose one of my selections categorized by age group or search for your
own selection. 10% of the purchase price goes back into the coffers of Beth David.
If you want to donate Jewish books to the Beth David Library, please email
library@templebethdavid.org and let me know. You can leave the books on the
