Rabbis Message

JapanThe Greatest Generation. . . . My father, Philip G. Henry, zl, was part ofwhat Tom Brokaw has characterized as The Greatest Generation. On the dayafter the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt secured a Decla-ration of War from Congress, soon after which, my father had the rather dubi-ous distinction of having the second number picked in the draft lottery for theArmy. By April of 1942, aboard a large carrier, he and upwards of two thou-sand other young Americans pulled into Pearl Harbor, amid the devastation anddebris that still floated in the harbor, fully five months after the attack. Hespent the next three and a half years based at Schofield Barracks, just a bitinland from the harbor, on the Island of Oahu. My father didnt talk muchabout his experiences there through those years. He told me about DiamondHead, and the hula girls, and a hillbilly in his outfit. But there was really

nothing substantial or serious that I can remember, with one exception. Only one time, not too long before hedied, some twenty years after the end of the war, my father told me about that moment when he and the others

pulled into Pearl Harbor. They were aghast that so little had been done since the previous December to cleanit up. And when they saw the American fleet, nose down in the water, and all the debris scattered throughoutthe harbor, you could have heard a pin drop on that carrier. Over two thousand young men stood on the deckin silent horror, as tears streamed down the faces of many. I will never forget that recollection of my fathers.It was an extraordinary moment from a man who, as I remember him, was not otherwise very outwardly ex-pressive, especially with painful emotions like that.

Two nations. . . . The ethos within our nation during that greatest generation was one of unmitigated angerand hatred toward Japan and its people, and the feelings ran very deep for many years. Yet, as I recalled at ourKabbalat Shabbat service on March 11th, our nation has been transformed over the past seventy years. Unbe-lievable as it may have seemed to my parents and their peers for so many years, we have managed to movepast the enmity that divided Japan and the United States for so long. Earlier on the day of March 11th, Presi-

dent Obama, born in Hawaii, issued a statement in the wake of the horrific earthquake and tsunami that devas-tated Japan only hours before. In his statement he said: The friendship and alliance between our two nationsis unshakable, and only strengthens our resolve to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this trag-edy An alliance that is unshakable..... In light of the hatred of another time, it is amazing, when youthink about it. Nevertheless, it is a testament to the capacity of human beings to overcome hurt, and anger, andhatred, and the capacity of nations to move past the hostility and enmity that once existed between them. Iunderstand that this has not always been possible in history. But in this case, it has been possible.

Empathy and action. . . . As human beings, no matter how we may understand our existence on this earth, weare stunned and grief-stricken for the Japanese people at this time. We have been reminded, yet again, of ourutter fragility in the face of natural forces, and of the ephemerality of human life. And, as this article is beingwritten, we remember our own contribution as well, as the threat of nuclear disaster continues to loom over theonly nation that has ever been subjected to nuclear attack. We worry as well for the safety of the surround-ing nations, in light of the threat of nuclear contamination. We can contribute to any of the relief efforts thathave been mounted. The Union for Reform Judaism has joined with other Jewish relief organizations tomount a concerted campaign to rebuild Japan and help its people. You may access the contribution site at:http://urj.org/socialaction/issues/relief/ . Or, you may send a check to: Disaster Relief Fund, Union for Re-form Judaism, 633 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017, and earmark it "Japan Earthquake." And of course,we continue to pray for the survivors and their families, that they find comfort and strength, as the world drawstogether around them.

A Special Appeal at this Time of Year.On April 18th we will gather with family and friends to celebrate one of the most joyous times of our year asJews, the Festival of Passover, the Remembrance of our Redemption from slavery in Egypt. Every year we arecommanded to retell the story of how God saved us from tyranny and oppression with a mighty hand and anoutstretched arm. The story is filled with marvels and miracles that make for colorful thought and discussion.But whether or not we look at these miracles with literal belief is not the most relevant piece of our celebra-tion. Rather, it is the values that are embedded within the story, and which inform our lives as Jews, and theway in which we understand our responsibilities in the world.

From the Passover story we learn a fundamental truth. From our sacred history as a people we have learnedthe bitterness of poverty, oppression, and degradation. Therefore we above all should go out of our way tohelp those who are bowed down by such forces. It is a simple truth, and fundamental teaching of Judaism,born out of the Exodus experience.

Each year before Passover my colleagues at the New York Board of Rabbis and the Joint Passover Association(now part of the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty) conduct a Passover Appeal, in order to buy Passoverfood and supplies for thousands of our Jewish sisters and brothers in the New York Metropolitan area who arealone or institutionalized, in want, and in need. It grows out of the long-standing tradition ofmaot chittin.Historically, the elders of the community would go around collecting for a fund to buy wheat with which tobake matzoh. The rules of the fund were simple: those who needed to avail themselves of it took from it;those who did not need it gave to it. Each year as a congregation, along with our sister congregations in NewYork, we at Union Temple have continued this tradition ofmaot chittin by responding to this appeal withoverwhelming kindness and generosity. I hope that this year will be no exception.

As we have done each year, we ask you to make out a check, for whatever amount you are comfortable with,to Union Temple, and earmark it Passover Appeal. Send it to the Union Temple Office at 17 EasternParkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238. We then will put together collective checks and send them to the NYBR andMCJP. And as always, we thank you most sincerely for your kind participation in this appeal, and thus thefulfillment of the mitzvah ofTzedakah, so integral a part of our Passover celebration.

From Stephen, Philip and myself, and of course from our entire congregational family,

A Ziessen Pesach to all!

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

We hope you will join us for these beautiful celebrations of Passover.

To state the obvious, Passover is right around the corner. There are the usual preparations to take care of:cleaning, searching for chametz, disposing of aforementioned chametz, deciding whose turn it is to host theseder, what to cook, what to buy, and on and on.

Ever wonder if people in other countries are doing the same thing? They areand they aren't. Here are five

Passover traditions from around the world I came across in The Huffington Post:1. Afghanistan. Jews living in Afghanistan created the tradition of gently whipping themselves with scallionsas a symbol of the Egyptian slave-drivers' whips used against the Israelites. Of course, this tradition is proba-bly fading fast since, according to the online Database of Jewish Communities, in 2007 there was only one Jewleft in Afghanistan.

2. Poland. Hasidic Jews living in Gora Kalwaria, Poland, reenact the crossing of the Red Sea. On the seventhday of Passover, Jewish families pour water on the floor of their living rooms, hike up their coats, and say thename of the towns in the region they would pass while making their crossing.

3. India. In the Jewish community in Cochin in the Indian state of Kerala, Pesach work began right after Cha-nukah. That's 100 days of preparation before the actual seder. And you thought you had a lot of work to do!

4. Gibraltar. Here in the tiny island off the coast of Spain, Jews actually mix the dust of bricks into their charoset.

5. Ethiopia. In commemoration of Passover and their own fairly recent exodus from Sudan, Ethiopian Jewsbreak all of their dishes and make new ones to symbolize a complete break from the past and a new start.

Wishing a sweet Passover to all, no matter your tradition.

Religious School Building the MishkanThe Torah readings in February told of the building of the mishkan, the portable sanctuary accompanying the

Israelites in their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. God tells Moses, "Let them build me a sanctuary,that I may dwell among them," (Exodus 25:8). The mishkan was replaced 3,000 years ago when King Solomon

built the Temple in Jerusalem. He was told to build the immense stone building without using metal tools be-

cause metal is used to make weapons. The Temple was meant to be a monument to peace. So the TalmudicSages teach that Solomon used a magic worm, called the shamir, to cut the stone. The Temple, in turn, was

replaced by synagogues.

Rachels class Kitah Gimmel(5-6-7 graders) learned how a Torah is dressed like the ancient priests: the ephod

the priests wore is similar to fancy covers on the Torah; the sash that binds the Torah (called a wimple) re-minds us of the sash they wore. Some Torah scrolls are adorned with bells like the priests wore on the hems of

their garments. The silver breastplate placed over the Torah is reminds us of the breastplate worn by the High

Priest. The class also learned about how the Ner Tamid/Eternal light, an integral part of the mishkan and an-cient Temple in Jerusalem, is still found in synagogues all over the world, represented by a light that remains

lit at all times. They talked about what holy means to them and wrote cinquains about holiness.

Aris class Kitah Alef (1st

and 2nd graders) listened to the Torah descriptions of the clothing worn by priests/Kohanim when they served in the mishkan. One item is a silver breastplate with 12 jewels, each representingone of the tribes of Israel. The class learned about the symbols of each tribe, and then created their own edible

breastplates from graham crackers, chocolate frosting, and gummy bears.

Davids class Kitah Bet(3-4 graders) is concentrating on Hebrew language. The modern Hebrew word

neighbor shochein shares the same root as mishkan. In our UT school and UT community, in our

neighborliness, we find holiness and sacred space.

I welcome all your questions and concerns. Feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Preschool Beach Day for the SparrowsAfter weeks and weeks of snow, boots, cold wind, and

bundling up, the three-year-olds in Alex Beers and

Natalie Roths Sparrows class needed a break. So on

Wednesday, February 16, their class wore bathing suitsto school, brought towels, sandals, and sunglasses, and

headed to the beachright in their own classroom.

The heat in the room was already turned up when the

children arrived. Their teachers played The BeachBoys on the stereo and had filled buckets and bowls

with sand and water. There were shells and plastic fish

to sort, and frozen popsicles were served for snack.The class had a picnic lunch on their beach towels,

which lay out on the classroom rug.

The teachers smoothed sunblock on each of the Spar-

rows arms and encouraged the children to take in thesummer smell. The class even had a little rest time on

their towels, closing their eyes and imagining the sun

beating down on their precious skin. Story time in-

cluded summer favorites The Biggest Thing in the

Ocean and Olivia, which features a girl (who also hap-pens to be a pig) spending time on a beach building an

impressive sandcastle.

The children loved every minute of their Beach Day.

Some found that just having time to play with water, digwith shovels, and feel the wet sand between their fingers

was the best part of the day. Several boys squealed,

Oohmud! over and over. Other children were de-lighted by the chance to wear their suits and sandals again,

and spent time pretending to be a family on a beach.

Dont forget the sunblock! said one little mommy to her

excited children. You dont want to burn!

BrotherhoodCelebrating

ShabbatLast month Brotherhood celebrated a won-

derful Shabbat. President Steven Segall dida fantastic job of chanting the Torah por-tion and many of the members participated

by all after the service. Brotherhood wouldlike to thank Rabbi Goodman and Student

Cantor Lauren Phillips for their help in

making the service special.

Now that spring is here Brotherhood islooking forward to some great events. In

May we will be participating in the annual

Mitzvah Day activities. Stay tuned for de-tails next month.

In June, there will be the Brotherhood

breakfast and elections. We can almost

taste the omelets now.

Brotherhood would like to wish everyone a

Ziessen Pesach.

-David Rapheal, Secretary

From the day Eve took that first bite of apple, Jews have had a keen interest in food. Not only are we obsessed

about what we eat and how we should prepare it, but we are also concerned about how what we eat is treatedbefore it enters our homes, our pots, and our stomachs. Every facet of this food fascination is discussed in

Rabbi Mary L. Zamore's engrossing new book, THE SACRED TABLE: Creating a Jewish Food Ethic. On

Sunday, April 3rd at 10 AM, Rabbi Zamore will join us and help us explore the many aspects of and opin-

ions about Jewish dietary practices and ethics. When it comes to Jewish food, everyone has an opinion! Bringyoursand bring your friends and neighbors too. No one will want to miss this morning of friendship, stimu-

lating discussion, and, of course, delicious Jewish delicacies. This will be Sisterhoods only Rosh Chodesh Se-

der this season, and we are honored to have Rabbi Zamore sharing it with us.

Sisterhood is also honored to have Union Temple's own Drs. Gail Levine and Robert Fried returning to us on

Sunday, May 22nd at 10 AM, to present their revitalizing program, FINDING THE PEACE WITHIN: Tools

to Reduce Stress and Strengthen Spirituality. This energizing, regenerating workshop is open to men as well as

women, and we know that everyone who longs for inner peace will want to participate. So mark it on your cal-

endar, and watch this space and your mail for more information.

Sisterhood wishes everyone a Ziessen Pesach.
