NEW! Upcoming HAZAK Events on Interactive Calendar

"It's like USY For the Over 62 Set"

Hazak is the Conservative Movement's organization for mature Jews seeking camaraderie, social interaction, intellectual stimulation, religious experience and, most of all, FUN! !!

Twice the CBE Hazak Chapter has won the USCJ Gold award for programming, and we anticipate that this year's programs will be the best ever.

The name Hazak means "Strong," and is also made up of the first Hebrew letters of the words:

Hochmah: Wisdom
Ziknah: Maturity
Kadima: Looking Ahead

 

Our monthly Hazak meetings take place the third Tuesday of each month, 1-3 PM at Congregation Beth Emeth.  Meetings are a time to socialize, enjoy light refreshments together and often listen to a guest speaker on a topic of interest to seniors. Generally the meeting starts at 1 PM with the speaker scheduled for 1:30. We also have holiday celebrations, theater trips and more!

Rabbi Leonard Cahan
Jewish Wedding Customs

Rabbi Leonard Cahan is the Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Har Shalom in
Potomac, Maryland, where he served, until 2001, as the Senior Rabbi for 27
years.
Rabbi Cahan will guide us through the customs that characterize Jewish
weddings today, as well as others that have fallen by the wayside. He will
explore rituals that have grown up in the many different societies in which
Jews have lived, and the rich symbolism that has made them so appealing and
enduring. You won't want to miss this fascinating journey.

Hazak at CBE meets on the third Tuesday of every month from 1:00-3:00PM.
Light refreshments are served. Cost is $3.00 for guests; Hazak members
free.

Tuesday, April 20 at 1:00 PM
Irv Elenberg
Research at the Technion

Our April guest speaker will be Irv Elenberg, Regional Director of  American Technion Society. Technion is an institute of science and technology located in Israel. Elenberg will tell us of the innovative programs and research being carried out at the Technion. He'll bring you up to date on research on photovoltic cells, new medications for treating myeloma, drugs to prevent bone loss, and drugs to significantly reduce breast cancer.  He'll report on stem cell research, sleep apnea, Parkinson and Alzheimer studies. Free for Hazak members, guests $3.00. Questions? Contact mike@bethemeth.org.

Add to this, theater parties, trips, and holiday celebrations and this should prove to be a spectacular year for Hazak.

FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION

 

L’dor vador—from generation to generation—

I pass to you

Not the giddy joy of success,

But the lump in the throat the signals

The wisdom to speak softly in a fragile world.

 

Through these finger tips

Pass sensual gifts—

The feel of sand between the toes,

The eye that captures

The flight of the gull at sunset,

 

Take them, child of my child—

The ability to grow inside the mind,

To change, to forgive, to love.

Take them,

And when you grow old,

Bequeath them l’dor vador,

For these are the things that remain worthwhile,

That make life worth living.
