Rescheduled! “How Magicians
Think” with Joshua Jay Saturday,
April 2, 8:30 p.m.
The Josh Jay Program has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 2, 8:30 p.m. Your
tickets for the original date are STILL GOOD for the April 2 date. If you won’t be using
your tickets, please call and let us know – we have a waiting list for tickets, 330-445-
2410. If you wish to be placed on a waiting list for this date, please call 330-445-2410.
Copies of “How Magicians Think” will be available for purchase and Josh will sign
copies of his book after his performance. There is no charge for admission but you
must preregister for tickets by calling 330-445-2410. There is a maximum of four (4)
tickets per registration. No registration accepted at the door.
Josh grew up in Canton and spent hours at the Jewish
Center. He is now a world-class magician and author of
many books on the art or magic. He will discuss his lat-
est book “How Magicians Think: Misdirection, Deception,
and Why Magic Matters” during his program at Beit
Ha’am. There is no admission fee for this performance
but seating is limited and requires registration. Please
call 330-445-2410 to reserve your space. Masks are
required.
Joshua became interested in magic at age 7, when
his father, Jeffrey Jay, (z’l) performed a trick for him and
didn’t tell him how it was done. He performed locally,
at Boy Scout gatherings, birthday parties, and eventu-
ally progressed to venues like the Canton Club, Palace
Theater, and Player’s Guild. Many of us remember
him during his time in Canton. He celebrated his Bar
Mitzvah at Temple Israel, graduated from GlenOak High School and from The Ohio State
University. We are excited to offer a program that brings a local son back to us.
In “How Magicians Think: Misdirection, Deception, and Why Magic Matters”, Jay not
only opens the door to magic, but brings us inside to reveal the artistry and obsessive-
ness, esoteric history, and long-whispered-about traditions of a subject shrouded in
mystery. And he goes one step further to bring us right into the mind of a magician—how
they develop their other worldly skills, conjure up illusions, and leave the rest of us slack
jawed with delight time after time.
In 52 short, compulsively readable essays, Jay describes how he does it, whether it’s
through the making of illusions, the psychology behind them, or the way technology
influences the world of magic. He considers the aesthetics of performance, discusses Jewish National Fund
contemporary masters, including David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, and David Blaine,
and details how magicians hone their craft. Along the way, Jay reveals another kind of Virtual Tour of Israel
secret, one all readers will find meaningful even if they never aspire to perform sleight

Meet David Whitehill, ArtsinStark CEO
We reached out to David Whitehill, who recently moved to Canton from Asheville, NC
and who is a new member of our community. Please welcome David, Jessica, and their
daughter, Sadie!
What brought you to Stark County from the Asheville Symphony?
An amazing opportunity to work at ArtsinStark and the Cultural Canter for the Arts.
Everything we do, every day, helps us see, hear and live art in our daily lives. Art is in
schools, in homes, on the streets. We help put it out there. This is important work because
the arts open opportunities for diverse communities to gather, learn, create, and share.
How did you become interested in the arts?
I was very fortunate to have parents that took me to everything. If there was a musical
opening, a symphony concert, a special show at the art museum, I was there. My parents
made sure I had the best of everything. My elementary school had an orchestra and I had
a cello and a cello teacher. Palm Beach County opened a school of the arts. My teacher
in middle school was a former member of the New York Philharmonic and the NBC
Symphony. It wasn’t uncommon to see people like Ben Vereen, Burt Reynolds and Jimmy
Buffett walking the halls of the school. They came often for master classes. It was an
incredible place.
Do you have a favorite restaurant or place to enjoy in Stark County?
I just can’t narrow it down to one favorite place - we’ve really enjoyed getting to know
the area and exploring all kinds of restaurants. That said, we’ve had a lot of fun and great
meals at places like Unhitched Brewing in Louisville, H2 in Canton, Sol Pie in North Canton
and Liebermann’s Bakery in Massillon. Taggert’s has become our hangout after perfor-
mances at the Cultural Center for the Arts. My daughter loves the M & M sundae there.
We’ve also enjoyed visiting some of the different Stark Parks, and we had a fun visit at
Beech Creek Botanical Gardens and Raptor Hollow Sanctuary with the Chadash Sunday
School program. We can’t wait to go back.
Where did you grow up and how did you meet your wife?
I grew up in Boca Raton, Fla., but spent 10 years in Southern California for college and
growing my career in arts administration. In 2007 I moved to Bangor, Maine, to run the
Bangor Symphony Orchestra. Jessica had been living in Bangor for about 10 years while
she was working as a sports reporter for the daily newspaper there. We were set up by
a member of one of the synagogues, and just hit it off immediately. We had so much in
common right from the start when we realized that our grandparents lived nine blocks
away from each other in New York City. We got married in 2010 in beautiful Bar Harbor,
Maine. We were the first Jewish couple featured in Real Maine Weddings magazine.
What would you like to see develop through your leadership in Arts in Stark?
The world is changing, and the frameworks we draw on must change as well.
ArtsinStark is working to build a more creative, empowered, and equitable Stark County by
ensuring the arts and culture are a core sector of community planning and development.
The arts and creative sector can be a vehicle to help strengthen our community’s social,
physical, and economic fabrics. One opportunity is the renovation and re-energizing of the
Cultural Center for the Arts as a countywide resource. It had 50 incredible years, and now
it’s time to look and see what is possible for its next 50.
Please tell us a bit about your family.
Jessica grew up in the Washington, D.C. area and went to college and graduate school
at Barnard College and Columbia University. She works at The University of Akron as a
speechwriter for the president of the university and contributes articles for the school’s
magazine. My daughter Sadie is just full of life - she loves art, music, theater, sports (espe-
cially the Olympics), traveling, attending Sunday School and learning Hebrew.
As a family, we really try to take advantage of as many opportunities as we can. In one
weekend we might be at an arts event, a football game, an antique store, or we might just
spontaneously hop in the car for a road trip. We’re very fortunate because we have so
much fun together and treasure the time we spend as a family.
While we were living in Asheville we were very active in the small but strong Jewish
community there. We were members of the Reform Congregation Beth HaTephila, Jessica
is a past president of the Asheville JCC Board of Directors and was also the executive
director of Jewish Family Services of Western North Carolina. Belonging to the Jewish
community is very important to us and we look forward to becoming more involved here
in Canton as soon as the pandemic eases.

Treasured Mini Torahs
When I was a young girl, and it was my turn to stand
on the Bimah and accept the mini Torah from Rabbi
Applebaum, I remember the feeling of being overcome
with pride. I stood in my pretty dress and smiled sweetly
as the moment was forever captured. I patiently stood
shoulder to shoulder with the other Jewish religious
school students for an infamous photo that was hung on
the walls of my synagogue until it moved to its newer and
more modern location.
JULIE ZORN That photo has popped up many times over the years
Director of - most recently on Rabbi Komerofsky’s office shelf, as he
Lifelong Learning was standing two rows behind me that day with a grin
that could light up a whole sanctuary.
At the time, I don’t think I truly comprehended that this ceremony was to officially mark
the beginning of my formal Jewish education. Rather, it was one of those days that I had
finally caught up to my older brother and got a chance to take part in something special
just as he once had a couple of years prior. For this I was pleased. Very pleased. I stood
in my assigned spot in front of the colorful embroidered ark door holding my treasured
mini Torah just as I would a pile of gold and riches beyond my wildest dreams.
I may not have understood the true significance of what it meant to stand in front of
the congregation with a group of friends who would follow me throughout my life, but
one thing was certain. I knew that something important was happening, and I knew that
the little mini Torah was the best souvenir to remember it by.
It’s a funny thing about those mini Torahs. Most times, when I start talking about
Consecration with adults, I know the comment that is about to come out of their mouths
as soon as the dreamy look hit their eyes. “I still have my mini Torah,” they say. I respond
always with a smile enjoying a commonality that we all can relate to.
This year’s Consecration class has had to wait for this significant milestone day.
Though we planned on having a Consecration ceremony last year, Covid had a different
agenda. As Chadash opened virtually this past Fall, once again we had to postpone
Consecration.
I am happy to say that the day has finally arrived for our little learners, and their
moment of proudly possessing their own mini Torahs will happen during our annual
Chadash Shabbat service on Friday, March 4 at 6:15 pm. We hope the community will
come out and join us and possibly brush the dust off their own mini Torahs and pho-
tographs to bring up so many cherished memories at the start of their own synagogue
lives. Be sure to share these tokens and memories with the young people in your lives.
Though life has changed beyond measure over the decades, our mini Torahs are the
same.STARK JEWISH NEWS • MARCH 2022 • www.jewishcanton.org | 11
Where Are They Now? LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED FOR FIVE GENERATIONS
Article by: Adele Gelb
Train a child to go on the proper path, and when the child grows old s/he will not swerve from that way.
Proverbs 22:6
www.arnoldfuneralhome.com
In the 1980s when the Canton Jewish community’s demographic trend became undeniable, Jay Rubin, former Jewish CANTON: 1517 MARKET AVE. N. • 330-456-7291
Community Federation executive director, noted that although our children rarely return to Canton we can be proud that CANTON: 4817 CLEVELAND AVE. NW. • 330-455-0349
we are sending out amazing adults who repair the world – tikkun olam. This is the fourth in a series of articles shining a HARTVILLE: 504 W. MAPLE ST. • 330-877-9364
light on the children of Canton who make us all proud – for they are products of our combined efforts to “train a child to
go on the proper path.” Please contact Adele Gelb, adron1943@sbcglobal.net with suggestions for “Where are they now?”
Robyn Rosenstock Kessler, daughter of Barbara and Artie (z”l)
Rosenstock, is a graduate of Canton City’s McKinley High School. She
earned her undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and her
MBA from Columbia University Business School.
Robyn grew up in the Ridgewood community, attended the Canton
City Schools and matriculated to Ohio State in Columbus. “Canton
was a great place to be from, Robyn explained. “I had the advantage of
strong family and community values. I grew up seing the importance of
supporting one another. My parents had friendships and relationships
that had lasted for decades, a common occurence throughout the
community. Families in the community focused on raising children to
achieve all they could be, to explore and pursue opportunities. I see it as
a selfless perspective on the part of parents to push their children out of
the nest in order for the children to achieve all they can.
“When I returned for our 20th OSU reunion I realized that wherever I
had gone to college the experience that mattered was learning about
life; learning how to take care of myself; figuring out a large community;
learning how to be on my own and to believe that I am capable and
confident.”
After Ohio State Robyn was accepted into a four year executive
training program at Macy’s. At the conclusion of that experience she
enrolled at Columbia for her MBA. She landed a job with SaraLee in one
of their many divisions and worked in product and operations management requiring her to travel to the Philippines.
“Although I had travelled to western Europe before I realized the world was so much bigger – what had I been missing?”
Robyn’s journey to the United States Foreign Service is a tale braided with the story of her friendship and marriage
with Jonathan Kessler. When Jonathan took a Foreign Service posting in the Philippines and Robyn became familiar
with his work.
“I’m a people person – it’s one of my strengths. I realized that I could combine that characteristic with public
service. The State Department has four agencies: Diplomacy, Commerce, USAID and Agriculture. Life kept giving me
opportunities and I kept grasping them – while we were posted in Brussels I applied to the Foreign Service and was
accepted. It’s the best of both worlds, I am able to use my experience in international business on behalf of the United
States in the most interesting and fulfilling job.”
Robyn has served in Belgium, Mexico, Afghanistan, Russia and India. From 2017-2020 She served as Executive
Director for the Department of Commerce’s Middle East and Africa region. Currently she has her “dream posting” as the
U.S. Embassy Israel’s Senior Commercial Officer for Israel and the West Bank and is based in Tel Aviv. “As a Jew I am
familiar with Israel in some ways – but the time here has made Israel more relevant to me.”
In December Robyn was a member of the U.S. delegation to the U.S.-Palestinian Economic Dialogue, the first such
meeting in five years. “It was a small step toward reengagement,” Robyn explained. “It’s complex and complicated but I
am hopeful that we will be able to connect markets and create opportunities.”
Robyn’s enthusiasm for her posting in Tel Aviv overcomes even the limitations brought on by Covid. The Kesslers are
hopeful that before they leave they will be able to travel and host family and friends.12 | CALENDAR STARK JEWISH NEWS • MARCH 2022 • www.jewishcanton.org
