6 Meet the Caplan Family! Member Profile What brought you to Ner Tamid? My father passed away in 1966 and Rabbi Leibowitz officiated at the funeral. My relationship with the Rabbi goes back to the beginning of the Rabbi's career at the Quantico Avenue Shul. He Bar Mitzvahed me. He suggested that I come to NT for the period of saying Kaddish. During the following months we were greeted with warmth and caring, everyone was terrific and friendly. We were then asked to be co-chairmen of a Chanukah Dance. That was the start of a spiritual and social life. The Sisterhood had luncheons and Brotherhood dinners were fun. There were musical shows where Bev. made costumes for, Purim breakfasts, Passover candy sales...we were very involved in all the various events at NT. Our years at NT have been very rewarding for our family. Our children Sherry and Bob got a great Hebrew Education. The Hebrew School was in a class of its own and considered to be the finest in Baltimore. Over the years, we were honored to have leadership roles in helping the forward movement of NT. Sheldon was Chairman of the Board for 3 years. In turn, we were both honored by NT as Man of the Year, and Bev. as Woman of the Year and we were both honored as NT Israel Bond's Prestegist Lion of Judah Award. Sheldon was also president of the Brotherhood, Treasurer of the Synagogue, Head of the Kitchen crew, and Chair of the Blood Drive Program. Bev. was very active in the Sisterhood. The list goes on and on... What is your religious background? We were both raised Modern Orthodox, Bev. at Beth Tfiloh and I at Quantico Avenue Shul. Having been both born in Baltimore, these were neighborhood Synagogues for us. Anything unusual you could tell us about yourselves? What are your hobbies? Our hobby today is travelling to as many places in the world as we can. Our passion is trying to visit as many synagogues as possible. We wrote about that a couple years ago. So far we feel as though we have covered 55%. Our greatest passion is our children, Sherry and Arnold, and Bob and Cara and our precious granddaughters: Hannah 16, Molly 14, Marissa 14, and Grace, 22 months. What do you take away from your years at NT? We look back fondly at our years at Ner Tamid, we have been so blessed, and look forward to the direction of Rabbi Motzen, and we know that Ner Tamid will continue in the future as a great synagogue.
