FROM THE RABBI’S DESK   Dear CONGREGANTS
                                      On Passover, we asked the question - how is this night
                                      different from all other nights? We asked and recited the
                                      Haggadah alone in our homes -many of us without our loved
                                      ones to enhance and enjoy the beauty of the Seder.

                                       A joke that I have often heard is that I am leaving the year
                                       2020 out of my resumé because I did nothing. In life, there is
                        a reason for everything and it is up to us to search and find meaning in our
                        daily experiences. The year has been trying emotionally for everyone. The
                        purpose of the Shofar is exactly that. Maimonides states that when we hear
                        the Shofar sounds, we must awaken and seize the moment as a time of
                        introspection and self-reflection.

                        How many of us have found new meaning in the values of friendship and
                        family? We often take for granted simply going out and getting together with
                        friends and family. Community has taken on a new meaning. Our reality has
                        moved to Zoom and Facetime. In our loneliness, we have come together as
                        a community in ways that we never imagined.

                        Only a few months ago, the world did not know what social distancing was.
                        It has become both part of our lexicon and a defining feature of our lives.
                        There has however been a growing movement calling for the term to be
                        changed. We should be physical distancing not social distancing.

                        This coming year we should take the time and make an effort to strengthen
                        our social relationships with family, friends and community. Beth Zion has
                        provided such an important outlet for so many of us to connect at this
                        difficult time through virtual prayers, lectures and social events.

                        Let’s hope and pray that this year’s Shofar blasts usher in a new era of
                        renewed commitment to the things that should be most important in our
                        lives.

                        On behalf of Rivka and myself, Shana Tova

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE   Dear Fellow Beth Zion Family,

                                                               I realized that we need to thank G-d every day for

  We will soon be saying Goodbye
  to two beloved members of our Beth Zion family, namely Odile and Rabbi Michael Wolff, who will be making
  Aliya to Israel after the Chagim, b’ezrat Hashem. Their son Benjamin already left in July, and their other two
  children, Julie and Rafael (not to mention all their grandchildren), have been in Israel for a number of years
  already. It should be quite a reunion! Besides being the Chaplain Rabbi at both the Donald Berman Jewish
  Eldercare Centre (for the last 10 years) as well as at the Maimonides
  Geriatric Hospital (where he spent 22 years providing spiritual
  guidance to all the residents and their families), Rabbi Wolff was
  also the interim rabbi at Beth Zion in 5767. A weekly tradition for
  years, Rabbi Wolff has taught a class before Mincha on Shabbat
  afternoons. The whole family is known for their hospitality and
  Chessed (kindness), and willingness to help out whenever needed.
  They will be greatly missed. Ce n’est qu’un au revoir. Le-Hitraot,
  and Hatzlacha Rabba in this new stage of your lives!

                    As long time members of Beth Zion, we have worked tirelessly with the committee, even
                    during the Pandemic to arrange quality programs for everyone.

                    These upcoming presentations will either be on Zoom or at the synagogue depending on
                    the situation at that time. The synagogue office will keep you informed closer to each event.

                    We do hope that we can count on you to participate and show support for our congregation.

                    If you have any program ideas that you would like to share or be involved in any way, please
                    leave a message at the synagogue office - 514-489-8411.

                    We would like to thank Rabbi Yamin Benarroch for manning the Zoom programs during
                    the months of June and July. His Divrei Torah at the onset of each program, making sure
                    everything ran smoothly and his closing remarks were inspiring and always left us with
                    something to think about. Rabbi, we couldn’t have done it without you!

                    Many thanks to Zev Mestel, Rivka Berman and Jacqueline Lehrer, who were always
                    available, regardless of deadlines, to prepare the flyers for each event and guide us with
                    great ideas for various programs. They consistently go above and beyond the call of duty!

                    We wish you all a Shana Tova

                    Myrna and Rena
