Hunger: An American Challenge, a Jewish Concern

As we go to vote this month there are many concerns on our minds as Jews and Americans: the economy,

security threats to Israel and

America, the threat of a nuclear Iran. Modern Western society in general and America in par-ticular has afforded us as Jews something we have rarely had in history – the ability to deter-mine the nature of the society of which we are a part. Whatever your feelings, please do not turn from the opportunity and

responsibility you have to vote. If you know someone who has difficulty getting to a polling station, please consider taking that person, or contacting the synagogue. There are volunteers willing to take people to vote.

In addition to the issues mentioned above, there is one that should occupy our

concern both for the election and after – that of hunger in America. Throughout our his-tory, Jews have been concerned about feeding the hungry. The Torah commands us to “eat, be satisfied and bless” God for our food. The implication is that

I was born and raised in the Bronx. My early years were spent in the West Bronx near what was NYU’s Uptown Campus (now Bronx Community College). After I married, I moved to Pelham Parkway in the Northeast section of the borough. Both areas had

a significant Jewish population (mostly Orthodox and Conservative), and I always felt in the mainstream of the community. Anti-Semitism was something I read about but never observed first hand. As a child I went to a small Orthodox synagogue (where my grandfather was President) and went to Hebrew school at the Burnside Jewish Center, a Conservadox institution. I was married at the Conservative Pelham Parkway Jewish Center and attended services there on a semi-regular basis after-wards. I hadn’t given much thought to what happened to the old neighborhoods until I read an article in The New York Times with the Pelham Parkway Jewish Center (Now called Young Israel of Pelham Parkway) prominently displayed.

I was shocked to see my old synagogue as the poster child for a new trend - the pay-ment of relocation bonuses to attract Jews (especially Orthodox Jews) to areas that no longer have a large Jewish population. The article spoke of the Soloveichik family who recently relocated from Chicago. My old synagogue that was filled to bursting when I belonged, gave the Soloveichiks $625 per month for three years or a total of $22,500 towards their rent just to live and worship among its members. If they had bought a

house they would have received a lump sum payment of $40,000. The Jewish population of the Northeast Bronx has fallen to 7,500 from more than 60,000 in the 1970s.

Apparently, the dangling of large finan-cial incentives to attract Jews to areas with declining Jewish populations is common-place. While Israel has long offered tax breaks and perks to those returning to the homeland, Jews no longer have to live near the Dead Sea to reap financial rewards. In Dothan, Alabama, a $1 million “family relocation project” offering packages of up to $50,000, has drawn more than 500 applicants. In Meridian, Miss., a Reform synagogue has $25,000 grants for families who stay at least five years.

Long Island is not immune from these incentives. At Young Israel of Plainview, newlyweds and young families can net $25,000 interest-free loans and free or dis-counted synagogue membership. I recently spoke with the President there who said when his immediate neighbors, the Cohen and the Goldberg families, moved out, they were replaced by the Wongs and the Patels.

There is also an upside to Jewish demo-graphic shifts as people move from one neighborhood to another. The Community Synagogue has been a fortunate beneficiary of changes in Great Neck. As that commu-nity increasingly attracts Modern Orthodox and Persian Jews, their Reform community has waned. Many young families moving out from the city who might have considered moving to Great Neck in the past are now moving to our peninsula instead.

Sukkot Fun!

The holiday of Sukkot is always fun for our students as they get the chance to visit the sukkah, shake the lulav & etrog, have a

sukkah snack and sing fun songs. Sukkot is a Hebrew word which means “booths,” referring to the booth, or sukkah, that we dwell in during this festival. During Sukkot, we give thanks for the fall harvest and we commemorate the 40 years of wandering in the desert after the exodus from Egypt. Each year, Sukkot begins five days after Yom Kippur and is celebrated for seven days. We are actually com-manded to “dwell in booths for seven days” (Lev 23:42). While our students do not actually live in the sukkah during the festival, they do love the chance to visit it. The children were so excited to hang up their decorations and look at all the other beautiful crafts which others had added. They especially enjoyed the chance to learn about the lulav & etrog from the rabbis and get the chance to shake them and say the blessings. It was great to see the sukkah packed with so many enthusi-astic students taking part in this joyous holiday.

HAnging WitH PoWtY

Over the past month, POWTY members have enjoyed some excit-ing programs at The Community Synagogue. Girls in all three POWTY Youth Programs were invited to attend POWTY’s Midrash Manicures Workshop, which took place on September 23rd. We came together for an afternoon of study, discus-

sion, nail painting, and fun; it was a great event! In early October, the POWTY 45 Club had our first event of the year. Twenty-three 4th and 5th graders had a pizza party in the youth lounge, and worked together to create a unique art project we displayed in the sukkah at The Community Synagogue, and have now hung in our youth lounge. It was a great start to our year together! Junior POWTY’s first event of the year was also in early October, and our 6th, 7th and 8th grad-ers enjoyed a fun, relaxed evening together in the youth lounge.

november’s PoWtY events: ▪ 11.6.12 – Senior POWTY Election Day Party – 7-10 pm in the youth lounge ▪ 11.10.12 – Senior POWTY’s Publicolor Day of Service – all day ▪ 11.16.12 – Senior POWTY Shabbat – 6:30 pm in the youth lounge

nourishment is insufficient. Satisfaction implies that those who are hungry have both enough to eat, and that it be fulfill-ing. Sadly, that is not the case for millions of Americans.

Hunger and poverty are also problems in the Jewish community. The most recent study of the Jewish community of greater New York by the UJA-Federation found over 360,000 Jews who are poor. To give you a sense of just how drastic that situ-ation is, the US guideline defines poverty for a family of four as any family with an income of $23,050 (or less!). Try to imag-ine paying for your expenses on that – and still having money left over for food.

In the United States, food support is meant to be supplemental, but for far too many people food assistance becomes the dominant (if not sole) means for getting food. The “food stamps” program is now called SNAP – the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Some 45 million Americans receive SNAP sup-port, and the average benefit is about $4.50 per day – or $1.50 per meal.

Even as the number of Americans in need of support grows, there are threats to cut support for SNAP and other pro-grams to support those who are hungry. I (along with Rabbi Burkeman and Cantor Franco) will be joining rabbis and can-tors from across the country, and across Jewish denominational lines, taking the “Food Stamp Challenge” this fall to experience what it must be like to live on the average weekly food allowance from SNAP of $31.50. We hope that our efforts will inspire you to learn more, to advocate for food programs and to be involved in helping the poor and hungry.

This is not an issue of politics. It is a concern at the heart of Jewish moral values. As we learn in the Talmud, “The merit of a fast day lies in the righteous giving (vesm tzedaka) dispensed.” (Berakhot 6b) We hope that the challenge we will have feeding ourselves for just one week will remind us – and you – of the responsibility we have to ensure the well-being of all, and help keep millions from hunger and poverty.

tHe CommunitY SYnAgogue toRAH PRoJeCt: Don’t miSS out!

The Community Synagogue proudly invites all its members to join in fulfilling the “last” (but certainly not least!) of the 613 mitzvot, the commandment to write a new Torah scroll. Our beautiful new Torah, begun last year for our synagogue’s Etz Chaim “Tree of Life” 60th Anniversary, is almost complete… but there is still time for YOU to write YOUR letter in our new Torah scroll.

The final opportunity to take part in this inspiring process will be on Sunday, December 2, when our sofer (scribe) will bring our new Torah to the synagogue to complete the last words and letters. Our clergy and sofer will not only teach you about the writing, but inspire you with how your life connects to the letter you write. Our new Sefer Torah will be dedicated and presented to the congregation on Friday, December 14, at our annual Shabbat Chanukah service. Your participation means you will have literally had a hand in making this dream come true.

Our Torah Project is about community. As we remember our ancestors who passed the richness of Jewish life and tradition down to us, we are creating a legacy for our children who will inherit our new Torah, our Etz Chaim—our Tree of Life. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to literally pass down the Torah from one generation to the next.

In the Torah the Israelites are commanded to come together as a community and build the Mishkan, the portable tabernacle housing the Tablets of the Law. God invites “every per-son whose heart is so moved” to contribute to the sacred task. Our goal is to have everyone in the community participate, writing in the Torah with a financial contribution given. As all individual letters combine to form a finished Torah, each member’s generosity will combine to make our Torah Project a reality. With the scribe guiding our hands, every donor will have an opportunity to write a letter in our new Torah.

Our rabbis teach that we do not choose Torah; Torah chooses us. Let it choose you this year. Be part of our Etz Chaim Torah writing campaign – and you can receive it as our people did the first time at Sinai.

To schedule your individual or family appointment to write a letter in our new Torah, please contact Faith at 516-883-3144, ext. 328 or [email protected].

Donor opportunities

“The Eternal spoke to Moses, saying: Tell the Israelite people to bring Me gifts; you shall accept gifts for Me from every person whose heart is so moved.” Exodus 25:2

Please give the most you can, letting your heart be your guide—in a way that you (and your family) feel good about—and we thank you in advance for your generosity. Opportunities for giving represent a wide range, and your gift of whatever amount is important in helping us reach our goal.

For various levels of giving go to the synagogue website: www.commsyn.org. Click the DONATE tab at the top of the homepage and the ETZ CHAIM CAMPAIGN tab.

There are a wide variety of understandings of God in Jewish tradition. We will look at several modern Jewish thinkers as a means of exploring our own questions and beliefs about God.

Next meeting on December 13, 2012

AyekaBringing god Back into the ConversationAyeka is the first question in the Torah. When God asks Adam in the Garden of eden, “Where are you?,” Adam is hiding. This is an eternal paradigm. We all hide, at times, in different ways. The goal of Ayeka is to provide a venue in which we can stop hiding in order to explore our personal relationship with God, and to see how this relationship can impact our lives. ▪ With Rabbi Zeplowitz ▪ Pre-registration only ▪ Sundays, November 4, 13

*?äÄîQuestion: Why do we wear a tallit?

Answer: When Tevye tried to explain Judaism in the film (or musical) Fiddler on the Roof, he described that we have traditions for how to eat, how to sleep and how to wear clothes. As he continues: “For instance, we always keep our heads covered and always wear a little prayer shawl … This shows our constant devotion to God. You may ask how did this tradition start? I’ll tell you … I don’t know.”

Well maybe it’s time to help Tevye with an answer to this question. This month we’ll start with the question of why we wear the tallit, and in two months time we’ll deal with the trickier question of why we cover our heads.

The simple answer is that we wear a tallit because it is a mitzvah, a commandment – but this is really not sufficient.

In the Book of Numbers, God instructs Moses: “Speak to the children of Israel and tell them that each generation shall put fringes on the corner of their clothes, and put a blue thread on the corner fringe. Then when this fringe catches your eye, you will remember all the commands of the Eternal and do them” (Numbers 15:38-39). This passage may sound familiar, because it is also included in our daily liturgy as the final paragraph of the shema.

According to the Biblical instruction we are supposed to put fringes, including a blue thread, on the corner of our clothing; the reason being that when we see the fringe it will serve as a reminder of God’s commandments.

Today we no longer wear cornered clothing, and this was already the case back in the Middle Ages. Anxious that a Jewish commandment would be lost as a result of changes in fashion, Jews decided to wear special four-cornered garments so that they could affix fringes to them and fulfill the mitzvah. This led to the tallit, which is traditionally worn at all morning services, and it also led to the tallit katan (small tallit) or tzitzit, which is worn underneath the clothing, so that the commandment can be fulfilled throughout the day, and not just at times of prayer.

You will notice that in the Torah passage it mentions that there was to be blue thread in the fringes. The blue dye used in the process was known as techelet, which was obtained from the shellfish the khillazon. However, over the years the actual identity of the source of the dye was lost, and therefore today the fringes are usually all white.

Some of you may have seen that I usually have a fringe hanging from my trousers. I have tried wearing a tzitzit, but found the additional garment to be rather uncomfortable. I therefore wear a “tzitzit keyring”, which serves the same purpose of reminding me of God’s commandments whenever the fringe catches my eye. If you want to make your own tzitzit keyring I am happy to help, and I also encourage all of our B’nei Mitzvah students to remem-ber that a tallit is for life and not just for the Shabbat when they become B’nei Mitzvah. So whenever you’re here for a morning service, bring the tallit with you, and fulfill the com-mandment in our serv ices.

— Rabbi Danny Burkeman*Lama – The Hebrew word for “why”

We welcome the 40 new members (households, not individuals!) who have joined our con-gregation since July 2011!

We hope that you can be a part of this special Shabbat service.


92nD StReet Y 2012 — JuSt WonDeRFul

3,400 and counting. That’s the number of tickets that have been sold since we started the program in the autumn of 2009. It was a grand evening in October. Every seat was filled and the final count had 166 gathered to see Thomas Friedman and Charlie Rose engage in a free-ranging discussion. Brotherhood and our Synagogue leadership would like to thank everyone for their support. You cannot know the pleasure we feel in seeing that our effort in bringing a winning program to Port Washington and the North Shore has resonated so well within the community.

This year, through the generosity of our Synagogue Board, we will be able to stage the 92nd St Y programs in our Congregation Hall to accommodate upwards of 250 to 300 peo-ple all sitting at tables. The screen is twice as large with enhanced sound. Tell your friends, your neighbors and those living in communities like the Amsterdam, Mil Pond, Harbor Links and other nearby Synagogues to join you. Ticket prices are only $10 for advanced reservations. The price at the door will be $15, a true bargain in these times with the added bonus of taking home a brown bag of desserts.

Reservations can be made via… (1) The Synagogue’s website, http://www.commsyn.org. Click the PROGRAMS tab at the top of the homepage, then the BROTHERHOOD tab, (2) by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or (3) by calling 883-3144, ext. 390 and leaving your name, e-mail address, phone and ticket information.

mind, Body and SoulEric Kandel & Elie Wiesel with Dr. Gail SaltzSun, Nov 4, 7:30 PM ET

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of memory. How does the mind

remember? Why are memories so vital to human beings? Can we alter or enhance our memories? What happens to memories over time? Explore

both the biological and emotional aspects of the human memory with the world’s most knowledgeable authorities on the subject. Eric Kandel won the Nobel Prize in 2000 for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage in neurons. Elie Wiesel is a novelist, journalist and Nobel Prize winner and former Chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.
