our congregation. We were proud this year to be
part of the beginning of the refurbishing of the
Ohabei Shalom chapel at the East Boston cemetery,
the first Jewish cemetery in Massachusetts, for us,
its first synagogue. We have had a year of
educational and programming excellence, from our
shul-ins, to our Ansin religious school programs and
youth-led Shabbat services, to our youth programs,
to community learning, whether on learning
Mondays, through classes taught by committed and
smart congregants, to classes led by visiting
scholars, to Sunday morning study sessions and
classes taught by Rabbi Alpert, to Kallah fellowship,
to our recent scholar in residence and mitzvah day
successes. When you look at our new website, you
see that we have moved forward even electronically.
And when you use the internet to go shopping, you
can now contribute financially to the Temple without
it even costing you anything when you access these
commercial sites from our web page.
Yes, we at Temple Ohabei Shalom have done great
things this past year and enjoyed many inspirational
moments together. As such, we should strive for,
and not be satisfied with, anything less.
At the conclusion of his book, Jim Collins states, “It
is impossible to have a great life unless it is a
meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a
meaningful life without meaningful work.” For those
of us who work here at the Temple, whether
compensated monetarily or not, it is gratifying to do
meaningful work…to build a better synagogue, to
produce better-educated Jews, to foster connections
among congregants and to support each other, to
work for social justice and, despite the challenges, to
progress toward a better future where we too can
move from very good to great.
With your help and with your support, to paraphrase
Jim Collins , we will gain that deepest of all
satisfactions; knowing that our time here has been
well spent, and that what we have done matters.
Have a great summer!

Brotherhood News
Ben Adler & Jonathan Atkins
Ohabei Shalom Brotherhood wound down
the year with two special and meaningful events in
June. The Annual Brotherhood Shabbat Service,
participated in by many (seasoned and new)
members, guided by the willing spirits of Rabbi
Alpert and Cantor Onigman. The Chapel resonated
with the enthusiastic voices of the Brotherhood men
singing throughout the Service. Group aliyot were
given to Officers, Board members, past presidents,
and newest members of Brotherhood. Spence
Gould chanted the Haftarah and Robert Pierson
gave the D’var Torah . . . par excellence.
Later in June, Brotherhood’s Annual Meeting
and election were held, starting with a Kosher
Chinese Banquet. This was prepared by Craig
Greenwald assisted by Bill Price and David Alpert.
The delegates to the recent National
Brotherhood Convention reported enthusiastically
about the proceedings, including the name change
of the National from NFTB, to Men of Reform
Judaism. We were assured that Ohabei Shalom can
continue to call ourselves, and be called a
BROTHERHOOD.
At the election, the following Officers and Board
were unanimously elected:

Rabbinic Search Update
The Rabbi Search Committee continues our work
according to the schedule presented to the
congregation last fall. The Committee has
received over two dozen applications from across
the country and abroad and resumes continue to
arrive. The committee ha s screened the written
applications and conducted a number of phone
interviews. Based on the outcome of these
preliminary conversations, the committee will
invite a small number of applicants for an on-site
interview. Rabbi Alpert, who is a candidate for
the senior rabbi position, has already met with
the committee. The committee is on track to
identify a top candidate by this fall. The
congregation will then have an opportunity to
meet the finalist and provide input on that
individual prior to a formal vote.
Throughout the process, congregants are invited
to direct their thoughts, ideas and questions via
email to rabbisearch@ohabei.org.

Congregational Corner
A Fine Line
By Karen L. Weber
There is a fine line between what is possible and
what is not, between reality and dreams, between
right and wrong. We currently face one of the most
extraordinary moments of human history – the
catastrophic changes taking place in our climate and
in our world. Interestingly, many people prefer to
remain in denial, heads buried in the sand, even in
the face of irrefutable scientific evidence. Others
would rather continue life as if in a dream, believing
that all the wonders we have known up until now will
continue unchanged. If we sound the alarm too
loudly worldwide havoc may ensue. If we sound it
too softly or not at all, nothing will be done and our
planet will remain on its current course, a one-way
road to calamity. What is right and what is wrong?
When our politicians are alerted to the impending
environmental problems facing us, they are afraid to
take a stand because:
1. There are more pressing issues to attend to
such as crime, education, poverty, and unemploy-
ment.
2. The budget does not allow for modifications.
3. The petroleum industry, running scared and
threatening everyone, contributed substantially to
their last campaigns.
It’s easier to hold to status quo.
Our planners respond to the call for change, yet
they:
1. Are afraid developers will go elsewhere if too
many environmental demands are made on them.
2. Ask for minimal changes in building design to
barely comply with environmental standards with the
hope that they can elicit larger concessions behind
the scenes.
3. Continue to plan for more roads instead of de-
signing exciting public transportation.
4. Continue to plan for more power plants to meet
peak demands when they should be planning to
gradually shut down power plants in order to force
conservation of energy and implementation of alter-
native energies.
Remain focused on the feasible and not the possi-
ble.
When we, the people of this planet, prefer to go
about our lives without thinking about our individual
contributions to global warming and what effect they
will have on our children:
1. We convince ourselves that the news is only a
bad dream.
2. We tell ourselves that we must work hard to put
food on the table so there is no time to do anything
about anything else anyway.
3. We dupe ourselves into believing that we could
not possibly be causing irreparable damage to our
planet.
We remind ourselves that we never really liked Al
Gore, even if he is honest, intelligent and right.
Where do you stand? On which side of the line are
you? Which side of the line will history prove right?
When will we be willing to erase the line and see
things for what they really are?
The UN report warns that without major changes in
our ways of thinking, living, and behaving, within 10
years time, we will reach a tipping point in our cli-
mate that will be truly devastating for every living
creature on planet Earth. We have only 8, if 8, of
those 10 years left to get things right. We cannot go
about business as usual for 7 years only to rush to
try to right all our wrongs at the last minute. Today
we demand everything immediately. The climate
won’t respond immediately. We must begin today to
take a series of obligatory strategic steps in order to
make a significant turn around within 8 years. Oth-
erwise we should not feel justified breathing our next
breath. We do not wait for someone to die at an in-
tersection before putting up a traffic light. The
choice for life is now.
Inhale/Exhale. Inertia/Action. Despair/Hope. A fine
line.

Earth Our Only Home, Inc., is dedicated to greening
our cities, most particularly through green roofs, liv-
ing walls and tree islands. Please visit their website

cate themselves about measures they can take to
reduce their carbon emissions. Start by keeping
your tires properly inflated and letting us know of any
potential roofs to be greened!
