It’s Time to Salute
Beth Yeshurun’s 1988-89
Evening Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah Class!
Share in the joy of their graduation
Saturday, October 7 - 10:00AM
Attention, class! Let’s do a little Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah
arithmetic. How do you start with 10 Adult Bar/Bat
Mitzvah students, subtract 4, and end up with 11 stars
conducting the October 7 Shabbat morning service?
The answer? Find five enthusiastic friends and family
members who’ll volunteer to lend a helping hand. And
that’s exactly what happened to the 1988-89 evening
Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah class!
Job conflicts caused the class to lose the talents of
classmates Galina and Yevgeny Genin, Bill MacNaughton
and Jill Wasserstrom. (But watch The Message . . . these
four will put in an appearance at services on some
Shabbat morning in the future!)
So that left the remaining six . . . Jay Kaplan, Lin
Kaplan, Isabelle Mayer, Marc Nathan, Tyann Nathan
and Dr. Sharon Olson ... in need of volunteers. And those
volunteers turned out to be Prayerbook Hebrew class-
mates Julius and Minna Hochstein, Isabelle’s husband
Eric, Marc’s son Zachary, and Sharon’s good friend
Michael Peck.
What it all adds up to is an October 7 Shabbat service
conducted by a highly committed group of men and
women who have taken the time and effort to show they
care enough to be active participants in their religion.
They’re a busy bunch including a doctor, lawyer, mer-
chant chief (furniture), teacher, pharmacist, photo-
grapher and commercial interior designer. But the
Bar/Bat Mitzvah graduates studied for eight months,
and everyone rehearsed for weeks in preparation for this |
big event in their religious lives. f
The class studied Jewish fundamentals with Rabbi
Moshe Cahana and Prayerbook Hebrew with Betty
Zollars. Betty, with the much-appreciated assistance of |
Cantor George Wagner and our Torah reader, Arnold J
Rosenzweig, has also served as coach and director for the ■
team, and she’s very proud of the graduates and their fl
helpful families and friends.
-Featured speakers will be Sharon Olson with the Torah
exposition, Tyann Nathan who’ll discuss the Haftorah, ;
and Lin Kaplan who will offer a sermonette on “Happy To very happy occasion "... the Brit of
Be Here.” their son, Janies Joseph.
During rehearsals, Dr. Sharon Olson
bones up on her next part in the
Shabbat morning service.
