A MESSAGE FROM RABBI DANIEL STEIN…

I don't typically reprint past articles, but I think that the words I wrote prior to the 2012 Presidential Election are worth repeating--with the following addendum: As American Jews, we are tremendously blessed to be able participate in civic life. No matter what your persuasion, go vote!

This year, as we prepare for the High Holiday season, we find ourselves in the middle of a rancorous election that is becoming increasingly typical for the American political process. Ad hominem attacks are the order of the day, making it easy to become disenchanted with our elected leaders.

There was a time when American Jews spoke of the three velts (Yiddish for worlds): diese velt (this world) yene velt (the world to come) and Roosevelt. Those days, it seems, are long: American Jews are more politically diverse than in the past and no longer speak with one voice. Even on the topic of Israel, where there once was exacting unanimity, today American Jews are divided on the settlements in the West Bank and how, exactly, the peace process should play out. It is often more painful to note our own internal divisions—as a faith, a culture, and a people, we share so much. How could we disagree on such fundamental issues? Our anger, it seems, can be more easily fueled internally because we cannot understand how someone who shares so much can be so different. And so, verbal assaults are slung, towards Obamas and Adelsons, as we try to make sense of those things that divide us.

This year, as the elections approach, we should be reminded of our tradition's value of proper speech—we should be more reticent about condemning our fellow's beliefs and more, we should prevent ourselves, when possible, from hearing such speech. Rabbi Elezar famously asked in the Talmud, “Why do a person's fingers resemble plugs? In order to suggest that when a person hears something unseemly, he should plug his ears.” This does not mean that we should ignore issues or truths about personalities, but it does mean that we should assume the best in people--even those with whom we disagree. Ultimately, we all want what is best for our country--and as Jews, what is best for our people. Though we may have different, strongly held opinions about the right path, we should not lose sight of what unites us.

The issues facing our country this season are of great importance; I hope the civility of our discussions represents the best values of our Jewish tradition. May our discussions be lively and vigorous, but may they also be blessed with shalom—with peace.

Rabbi Daniel Stein

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE …

Shalom

We look forward to an exciting fall season with the hope of expanding our popular Java and Jeans service, as well as instituting

new and even more welcoming programs and services.

You may have noticed an invitation in the bulletin inviting us to attend a gala event at the JDS, in which our Rabbi Daniel Stein will be one of the honorees. The event date is Saturday evening, December 6th at 7:3o p.m. at the Allentown JCC.

We encourage you to attend this Simcha in order that we can all celebrate this occasion with the Rabbi, Dena and the rest of the Jewish community of the Lehigh Valley.

Our goal is to have a minimum of two tables representing Bnai Abraham. If you plan to attend, please notify Irene at the office, so that we can assist in coordinating seating, or if we can be of assistance in any other manner.

May you all have a safe and healthy November and a Happy Thanksgiving.

The Ritual Corner For November Submitted by Irwin Lewis

The Rothschilds were to the Jewish people of Europe what the Rockefellers have been to the Americans. In the year 1743 the patriarch Meyer Amschel Rothschild was born. He started the banking firm in Frankfurt, Germany, and expanded by sending his sons, Meyer, James, Solomon and Karl to London, Paris, Vienna and Naples and kept Amschel in Frankfurt to continue to build a banking empire.

The Rothschilds were the financiers for the royalty of Europe through the 19th century. Originally Orthodox, as the years went by, they decreased their religiosity but never converted from Judaism through the last century. They were fiercely supportive of the Jewish people, tried to have favorable laws enacted and supported projects and settlements in Israel. To maintain the family wealth, there were expectations that cousins would marry first and second cousins. One story goes that a Rothschild was having breakfast at an Inn in Russia and that the bill for 2 eggs was 25 rubles. The Rothschild remarked, “I cannot believe that there are so few eggs here.” The innkeeper answered, “No there are plenty of eggs but few Rothschilds.”
