As I move into the last

months of my 22-year tenure as

Rabbi of B’nai Sholom, I think it

is appropriate to reflect on some

of the things that we have

accomplished, and that I am

especially proud of, that have

occurred (and still continue)

during these years.

Maintaining our schedule of three different

worship services every week:

Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday

morning. This may seem obvious; but I can tell you

for a fact that there are many small congregations--

including some that I have served myself, in past

years-which struggle to maintain even one regular

weekly service. I am proud that, although our

numbers have diminished in recent years, we still

have our three weekly services, with each one

representing a somewhat different Jewish

perspective. I hope this tradition will continue.

Continuing our regular Torah study:

With the addition of the new “Ets Chayim” Torah

commentary, which we use every Saturday morning,

and with the usage of other volumes such as the

new “Women’s Torah Study” text from WRJ, we

have been able to have regular, meaningful study

and discussions of our weekly Torah and holiday

portions. This is fundamental, for all of us, for a

deeper understanding of our faith.

Our volunteer/congregational choir on Friday

nights:

Some of you will remember when, in the early

1990s, we switched from having a professional

Friday night choir, to having a volunteer choir,

composed of dedicated members of our congrega-

tion, and wonderfully-led (for may years now) by

Judy Williams Lentz. This has been a tremendous

addition to our Friday night worship! It has been

increasingly difficult to maintain our choir, as our

congregation gets a little smaller; but I certainly hope

that this new tradition will go on for years.

Our Jewish Literature Discussion Series:

Of all of our Adult Education programs over the

years, this has been my favorite. With the help of

Niza Uslan and the staff of our Public Library, we

have had many wonderful discussions of great

Jewish literature--from well-known giants such as

Philip Roth and Bernard Malamud and Isaac Singer,

to dozens of lesser-known but still terrific authors.

And these discussions have been open to the

general, as well as the Jewish community.

Which leads me to:

Inter-faith/Community activities in the region:

from the Community Thanksgiving Service, to

the annual Martin Luther King Commemorative

service, to our Brotherhood Dinners, and on and on:

it has been my pleasure to be involved in dozens

of different inter-faith/community events over the

years. These sorts of dialogue, bridge-building

activities are terribly important, and I know they

will continue. Indeed, we are scheduled to host the

Martin Luther King Service in the near future!

These are just some of the things I am proud

of; most of all, I am simply proud of our Jewish

congregation and community. I hope God will bless

us, and all our activities, for many years to come!

B’Shalom,

Rabbi David E. Wucher

William Beverage invites you to help with his Bar Mitzvah project: JWB Jewish Chaplains Council. Our Jewish troops truly need to know that we, the American Jewish community, love and support them. This is why I have chosen to combine my Bar Mitzvah celebration with a tzedakah project that supports our Jewish troops. Donation information is available at the Temple. We will also be sending a Congregational email.

Yizkor Memorial Services….Remembering

All Those Who Passed Before Us.

Dear Congregants,

We were fortunate enough to have a Minyan for

this most important service. (April 25)

Why don’t more congregants attend?

One of the most important tenants of Judaism is

remembering our dead. Why is it so hard to get

10 people to come three or four times a year for

this most important service?

If it is so important for Marilyn to come from

eastern Kentucky, it should be important for

more of us to try and be there.

Let’s try to do better. May God Bless you all.

Love and Shalom,

David Glick

8 May 2011


As you know, during High Holy days in October, 2010, Rabbi Wucher announced that he would be retiring

on July 1, 2011 after twenty-two (22) years of service to B’nai Sholom. Realizing that we had limited time

to conduct a rabbinic search, Temple President Gail Feinberg immediately appointed two committees, a

Rabbinic Search Committee, and a Rabbinic Selection Committee, with the ultimate goal of locating,

recruiting, and selecting for approval by the Congregation, a new Rabbi to lead B’nai Sholom Congregation

into the future. Both the Search and Selection Committees were diverse and each was reflective of the age,

gender, life/family status, religious philosophies and background of the Congregation as a whole. The

Committees immediately began their work and spent an enormous amount of time consulting with the

Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ), with other

Congregations of similar size and makeup in the area and elsewhere of similar size and makeup to better

understand the search and placement processes. They worked to establish and adopt process guidelines

which would be effective and efficient, and would ensure meaningful review and consideration of all

candidates and allow for input into the search process by individual congregants and by the many constitu-

ents within B’nai Sholom.

Beginning in December, 2010, and continuing through April, 2011, the Rabbinic Search Committee

received resumes from twenty (20) interested candidates. The Committee faithfully followed the search

process and guidelines adopted. It carefully reviewed and considered the credentials and background

information provided by each candidate, consulted with URJ and USCJ, and conducted limited background

checks on the candidates. The candidates were indeed a diverse group, including men and women,

experienced and newly ordained Rabbis, Rabbis ordained by URJ and USCJ, as well as many who were

ordained by other small unaffiliated Yeshivas. Some Rabbis were Reform, and others were more

Conservative in their personal and religious traditions. For some Rabbinic candidates, the Rabbinate is

their first profession, and for others it is a second or third career. Eight (8) of the candidates were formally

interviewed by the Search Committee by telephone/Skype. Thereafter, the Selection Committee invited

five (5) candidates to come to Huntington to interview with the full Selection Committee and to meet the

Congregation.

Ultimately, decisions were made by the Selection Committee which mirrored those reflected by the

Congregational survey. Offers were made and on Wednesday, April 20, 2011, Rabbi Jean Eglinton

accepted the offer from B’nai Sholom Congregation to serve as our next Rabbi. I thank and congratulate

the members of the Search and Selection Committees, and the Congregation as a whole, for its handling of

this difficult and important responsibility.

Rabbi Eglinton has an impressive personal and professional background, as reflected in her resume and

personal statement which were recently circulated to the entire Congregation. Rabbi Eglinton is a 1981

graduate of Antioch College with the B.A. in Art. She obtained her Masters in Hebrew Letters in May

2009, from Hebrew Union College, winning the Nathan Stern prize for highest academic standing. She

received her Master’s in Education Administration, with a specialization in Jewish Education, in May 2010

from Xavier University, and was ordained from Hebrew Union College in June 2010, winning the Simon

Lazaus Memorial Prize for highest academic standing. She was Senior Class President at HUC, and since

her ordination and graduation, has served as the Coordinator of Outreach Education for the Hebrew Union

College/Jewish Institute of Religion.

continued on page 9

4th Rabbinic Search Report continued…

Prior to attending Rabbinic School, Rabbi Eglinton served on her Temple Board in Louisville, Kentucky,

and was an executive committee member. She was on the Temple Operating Committee, served as Vice-

President of Education, and was a volunteer, parent, Religious School teacher, B’nei Mitzvah teacher,

Torah study facilitator, Chair of Sisterhood, and served as an Assistant to the Temple Rabbis. I recommend

that each of you review Rabbi Eglinton’s resume and in particular, her personal statement, which will give

you a better understanding and idea of the person who has agreed to become our new Rabbi. Throughout

the Rabbinic search and Selection Committee’s time with Rabbi Eglinton, and based on numerous very

positive references, it was apparent that she is mature, scholarly, flexible, and creative. We believe that she

will be a strong member of and spiritual leader for B’nai Sholom Congregation and its many diverse

members.

As chair of both the Rabbi Search Committee and Rabbinic Selection Committees, I have nothing but

praise for members of the Committees who devoted considerable time and effort to the search process.

They put their personal opinions and preferences aside, and at all times considered what was in the best

interest of the Congregation as a whole. They thoroughly, openly and candidly considered and discussed

the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate and ultimately made well informed and well considered

decisions and recommendations. The search and selection process has been extremely time consuming, not

only for members of the Search and Selection Committees, but the Congregation as a whole. I cannot

overstate the enormous contribution made by various Committees, groups, and members of the

Congregation. Thank you to all. There is a lot for which we can be proud. Despite what your personal preferences and opinions may have been on the various candidates considered,

I hope that you all join me in welcoming Rabbi Eglinton as our new Rabbi and will support her and our

efforts to move forward. Again, I thank everyone for their active participation in the Rabbinic search

process, for your opinions, insights, and support, and I now thank you in advance for your participation and

support as we move forward. It is now time that we come together once again as a Congregation, to

support the decisions made, and to continue as full, actively engaged participants in the spiritual and social

life of B’nai Sholom Congregation.

Rabbinic Search and Rabbinic Selection Committee

Thomas Scarr, Chairman


One question I generally ponder in the season between Passover and Shavuot is: What am I doing with my freedom? The Israelites left Egyptian slavery in order to be free, but for what purpose?

For my part, it was a lovely Passover gift to get your invitation, via Tom Scarr, to serve as rabbi of B’nai Sholom. That is the direction my freedom is taking. I don’t think I can adequately explain how honored, excited, and awed I am at the prospect that lies ahead..

Plus, we will have a lot of fun together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon and finding out how you use freedom. Rabbi Jean Eglinton

9 May 2011

Dear Rabbi Wucher,

We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to you and

the Sisterhood of B’nai Sholom Congregation for your

assistance and compassion during the funeral

preparation for Harry Fallon. You all made a difficult

time for us a little easier to bear.

Sincerely,

The Fallon Family

10 May 2011

Thanks to many congregants who volunteered for the Empty Bowls project,

and those who donated items and services. The Silent Auction was a great success!

Dear Congregants of B’nai Sholom,

On behalf of everyone associated with Empty Bowls in Huntington, thank you for your

dedicated work securing items for the silent auction.

Between the silent auction and bowl sales, we raised over $15,200 for the Huntington Food Bank.

That helps feed thousands of hungry people in our community and I am very grateful to you for

your participation in this important event.

Students in the College of Fine Arts at Marshall are deeply involved in the Empty Bowls effort and

helping them understand the importance of service and demonstrating for them that together, we

can make a difference, is the lesson it teaches them.

Thank you for helping our students see the value of sharing and giving to those less fortunate.

I very much appreciate your support of Empty Bowls.

Sincerely,

Donald Van Horn

Dean of College of Fine Arts, Marshall University

Below is an excerpt of a letter from one of the

winners of the 15th Annual Historic Preservation

Raffle.

Dear Rabbi Wucher,

Diane Shattls introduced me to this annual event

when I had the opportunity to work with her as she

volunteered to be part of the U.S. Youth Soccer

Region 1 Championships, held in Huntington in

2009 and 2010.

I can’t tell you how surprised I was to find that

Huntington had a synagogue, let alone such an

amazing historic one. Given the size of

Huntington, it is astonishing that the Jewish

community is able to support such a magnificent

building.

You have my best wishes for the continued

success of your annual Historic Preservation

Fund event.

Very truly yours,

Judith Halpern

A Special Thank You to the B’nai Sholom Youth Group and

Amanda White for the wonderful Purim Carnival conducted

by them. A lot of hard work filled with love for all of the

children went into it.

I know my grandsons Jackson and Brody and their friend

Owen had a great time.

Thanks again,

David Glick
