Working about 20hours a week, Melissa will pro?vide additional support to the Congre?gation by working with the Rabbi in providing new programs and ideas for our membership. In addition, Melissa will assist Bella Feldman in working with B'nai Mitzvah students. Melissa will continue teaching in our religious school and in our adult education pro?gram. Melissa has grown upin our Con?gregation. She wasthefirststudentreg- istered in our religious school. She at?tended Ruby Thomas and Howard Wasden elementary schools. Hebrew Acad?emy and Bishop Gorman High School. Melissa has an AA Degree from Commu?nity College and will continue pursuingher B. A. atUNLV in the fall. Melissa has taught in our religious school for nearly 10 years. During that time she has developed a wonderful following of beloved students. In addition, Melissa has taught our adult education Hebrew and basic Judaism classes as well as our popular "Adult B'nai Mitzvah" class. "This position has long been needed at our Temple" noted Rabbi Akselrad. "As our Temple has grown, so too have our needs and the desire by our membership to continue to increase the diversity of our programs and activities. Melissa willbe a wonderful addition to our Temple staff."Rabbi's Message "Mazel Tov to Rabbi Sidney Akselrad". This month of June is a very special one in the life of the Akselrad family. 1 will be flying to Palo Alto, CA to join my family and my childhood Congregation, Temple Beth Am of Los Altos Hills, as they celebrate my father's 75th birthday and his entering his 50th year in the rabbinate. During the course of my father's career he witnessed tremendous changes in society. But more than being a witness, he became a part of those changes as he fought for civil rights, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and protested the Vietnam War. Often times his opin?ions and stands were not popular, but they held the strength of his convic?tions, and for that he gathered the re?spect of a community and Congrega?tion for over four decades. Often times as parents, we look for?ward to the various milestones of our children; their first day of school, Bar/ Bat Mitzvah, graduation from High School and College. On the other hand, as children we often loose sight of the major milestones in the life of our own parents. Often times it is because dis?cussion of "age" is avoided. We all know of people who "stop counting" their birthdays at age 39. Or who feel that many such celebrations are only for the children. Looking at the coming celebrations from the vantage point of a child look?ing at his parent, I can only tell you that joy works both ways. I am humbled and proud at my father's achievement, both in his career as a Rabbi and his devotion as a father. Through example, my parents taught me that age does not have to be some?thing that we must fear or hide. If we use our alloted time on earth wisely, and with a focus on matters important, then the passing of the years can in?deed be a celebration. As someone once wrote, "We may have to grow older, but we don't have to grow old." Rabbi Sanford Akselrad a Success!

The committee, comprised of a broad spec?trum of Congregants, was assigned the task of recommending a slate of Congregants to fill expired and vacant positions on the Board of Trustees for the coming term. The election will take place at the annual congregational meeting to be held on June 23,1996. While this year's vacancies should have been limited to three trusteeships, through shifting among existing trust?ees of 4 offices and 6 trusteeships. Last year several of us agreed to serve an additional year because we were in the midst of the Sanctuary Campaign and construction. We wanted as much con?tinuity as possible. As such, with con?struction now complete with the instal?lation of the bookracks in the Sanctuary on May 1,1996, we are now taking our leave. (Please note, I didn't mention the Campaign which still has a little ways to go.) I have been active in numerous orga?nizations over the years. Besides rais?ing sufficient monies to pay the bills, the most consistant challenge facing an organization is finding enthusiastic, qualified and talented vollunteers to assume leadership roles. Beginning 5 or 6 years ago I noticed a trend devel?oping at the Congregation which has continued through this most recent nominating committee process. The problem that we face is not recruiting volunteers, but having more qualified volunteers than positions. While the Congregation, like any other Jewish organization, faces many challenges, such as on an individual basis meeting its budget and expanding its programs, and on a more global basis addressing lack of affiliation, the Congregation is definitely not faced with a lack of quali?fied and committed volunteers willling to assume leadership roles. My thanks to the committee for a job well done and congratulations to those individu?als who have been nominated to the Board of Trustees for the coming term. On a personal note, as you can con?clude, my term aspresident will end on June 23,1996. Thank you for allowing me to serve as the president of the Congregation for the past three years. It has been a wonderful experience. Shalom, Jerry Don?t miss out on our famous fSundae SMatUs' ]Ne have two planned for this summer...

Eric Frankl July 13thMessage Just as a reminder, we will com?bine the June and July Bulletins as in previous years. This is an attempt to reduce the number of mailings to our members and to reduce some cost at the Temple level. Don't panic when your bulletin in July doesn't arrive. Last month we saw the Spring Gala, our Goods & Services Auction taken to a new level. While many didn't dress to Black-Tie, the evening did have an el?egant atmosphere. Thanks to Scott Dockswell and his many, many volun?teers who assisted him. This was in?deed one of the finest events the Temple has had in a number of years. Again, thanks Scott. On June 23rd, we will have a com?bined Annual Meeting and Board of Trustees Installation of the Temple Of?ficers as well as the Sisterhood and Brotherhood Officers. The event is scheduled on Sunday, June 23rd, 1996 at 5:00 p.m. in the Temple Social Hall. We will be having a free Bar-B-Que to our members followed by a brief instai- zt; aw fed to learn Have you everj Hebrezv... Have you ever wanted to learn more about Judaism... "*^kef&is your chance! Tuesdays, June 18-- August 6 Intro to Judaism, 7:00 - 8:00 pm Beginning Hebrezv, 8:00 - 9:00 pm The Fee is $30.00 per class for members $40.00 for non-members, plus books For more information call Melissa @the Temple Office, 733-6292 A Special Place to Belong lation Service. Mark the date so you can meet the new officers from the Temple, Sisterhood and Brotherhood Boards, say good-bye to the outgoing and receive an update of the services and programs of the Temple. Since we will not publish the July Bulletin, I just wanted to remind you that the High Holidays are just around the corner. Selichot, the opening ser?vice of the High Holidays is September 7th at 8:00 p.m. Erev Rosh Hashana is September 14th at 7:30 p.m. and Erev Yom Kippur is September 22nd at 7:30 p.m. As in the past, Temple policy requires all members to be in good standing with their financial obliga?tions prior to receiving High Holiday tickets. This means that Membership dues for 1996 must be at least 75% paid, you must be current on your Sanctuary charges and any outstanding balances from previous years. I plan on mailing out High Holiday tickets in early Au?gust. If you don?t receive them by mid- August, please contact the office imme?diately. The Temple office is now capable of accepting credit cards, VISA and MasterCard for payments. We started taking credi t cards just before the Spring Gala and the response was good. We hope you will take advantage of this service. Please remember there will be a $50 minimum to use this service.

When asked how to handle this or that...Rita and Janis come to mind. The party shop soley belongs to Frances Klamian and her devoted crew. All the other duties, like the gift shop to Joy and Susan, run themselves with their guid?ance.
