Enjoy this wonderful profile of our Rabbi Charlene Brooks created
by Nicole Herzog, a Northwestern University student!
Last Shabbat evening: Founding member Jerry Tuchman is shown receiving a blessing for his 93rd birthday by Rabbi Charlene and the congregation, accompanied on the bima by his son Michael and ASL interpreter Anne Stewart (Interpreter Rachel Clinkman is seated in the background). Also joining Jerry this evening were son Steven and daughter Susan Tuchman Gertler, his brother, son-in-law, grandsons, and grand daughter-in-law! Jerry was presented with a beautiful, inscribed plaque by Treasurer Dr. Michael Stone and President Laura Schwartz with gratitude from Congregation Bene Shalom and gave a heartfelt speech. Thank you to the Tuchman-Gertler family for sponsoring the oneg shabbat and helping us make this a very special evening!
