President’s Reflections
by Shelley Schweitzer
Tom Hanks has said that “a hero is someone who voluntarily walks into the unknown.” In our congregation’s 135-year history, there have been many who have voluntarily walked into the unknown and a few who knew what they were getting into and walked in anyway.
As most of you know, understanding on whose shoulders we stand is a part of my personal commitment to honor the past, embrace the present and ensure the future. In the coming months, I will be writing about some of Temple Israel’s heroes beginning with two men who were recently honored with election as Lifetime Trustees to the Temple Israel Board of Trustees.
Mark Atleson and Dr. Ronald Gelb are the 26th and 27th people in our congregation’s history on whom this honor has been bestowed. Election is based on significant service to the congregation over a span of no fewer than 15 years. Both Mark and Ron have been dedicated to Temple Israel for decades.
Mark served as Temple President from 1995-1997 and volunteered in a variety of capacities prior to that. Mark is a past treasurer of the Temple and was our very own Moses when he led us from our building on 25th Street to our temporary headquarters at the former Jewish Community Center (CJCC) and ultimately to our current home at Beit Ha’am. For many years, Mark has served on the Brotherhood board and has been an integral part of our congregation’s Habitat team since our first collaboration with Habitat in the late 90’s. As his nominator noted, “Mark places Temple Israel first in all that he does and has the best interest of the Temple in his heart.”
Like Mark, Ron has been a fixture at Temple Israel for many years. His first stint as Temple President was 1989-1991. He stepped in again from 1999-2001 and once more from 2015-2016. As if serving as Temple Israel president three times over four decades of the congregation is not enough to warrant this recognition, Ron is also a past treasurer of the Temple and an ongoing part of the Habitat crew. In addition, Ron has chaired numerous committees both at the Temple and in the greater Jewish community where he served as president of the CJCC, and the Canton Jewish Community Federation. In his 2016 Annual Report message, Ron noted that “there is a place for anyone who wants to become involved in Temple life…” adding that it had once again been his honor and privilege to serve as president.
Mark and Ron join Bob Friedman, Bev Gross, and Marty Jacobson as Temple Israel Lifetime Trustees. We thank each of them for their on-going guidance and expertise as mentors and committed leaders to our congregation.
Indeed, they are among the many who voluntarily walked into the unknown repeatedly over the years. Thank you from a grateful congregation.
