Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan
In early 2014, the leadership of B’nai Tzedek began a strategic planning journey to better understand where the congregation is, where it wants to be, and where it should be. Our strategic planning process was conducted with the help of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ) which accepted B’nai Tzedek in to its second Sulam for Strategic Planning cohort. Key people at the initial stages of the planning process where outgoing president, Harvey Rumeld; incoming president, Burt Amernick; Diane Steren, who is a member of the board and took on the difficult and important work of chairing the strategic planning committee; Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt; Cantor Marshall Kapell and several congregants, some of whom are on the board of directors or board of trustees: Jennifer Fisher; Micah Green; Eric J. Ellman; David Lowe; Deborah Fox, Michael Lustbader; Susan Miller; Meredith Jacobs; Gail Ifshin; and Allison Perlis. We are grateful for the help along the way from congregant Arlene Karpas, who is a professional strategic planner, Nadine Kochavi, our USCJ Transformation Specialist, and Bob Leventhal, our USCJ Sulam leader.

Climate change can feel overwhelming and difficult to understand. This presentation by Karen Lowe uses an interactive data simulation program to give insights and help people see connections, play out scenarios, and see what works to address climate change, inequity, and related issues like energy, health, and food. These visual tools were developed by Climate Interactive, an independent, not-for-profit think-tank that grew out of MIT Sloan in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. -

This 5-week class will be an adventure in the spiritual meaning and energies of the Hebrew Letters, drawing and learning about art skills with three letters, painting one and then using that letter for meditation. No art experience needed—just come with a pencil, eraser and paper for sketching. A few other materials will be discussed in the first class. The class will be super low key, fun and very informative! Just come with a pencil, eraser, colored pencils/crayons/markers and paper for sketching. With the colors, no worries if you don’t have them.
