The Spring “New” High Holy Days

A Message of Faith

This year the month of May coincides with the

Hebrew month of Iyar, and our Jewish calendar

includes three holidays that were established

after the founding of the State of Israel. They

are Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance),

Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day), and Yom

Ha’atzma’ut (Israel Independence Day). These

“new” High Holy Days, are at the center of our

national and Jewish consciousness.

Indeed, our Reform Movement’s siddur/prayerbook, Mishkan T’filah

includes special commemorative services for all three

observances. The special prayers and readings for Yom Hashoah

highlights these words of Holocaust survivor Dan Pagis, called

Written in Pencil on the Wall of a Sealed Freight Car

here, in this carload, I am Eve, with Abel my son.

If you see my other son, Cain, the son of man,

Tell him I…”

We dedicate a day to remember those who lie in unmarked graves

all over Europe, and to honor those who rose up to fight against the

Nazi death machine.

The second commemoration is Yom Hazikaron – Israeli Memorial

Day. Yom Hazikaron recalls the men and women of the Israel

Defense Force who were killed defending their country. We honor

the courageous men and women who have stood and fought on

Israel’s borders, who died for Jewish freedom and

independence. Mishkan T’filah includes these words to mark the

occasion: “Remember our brothers and sisters whose sacrifice gave

birth to the State of Israel; may their courage be our inspiration and

our strength. For life cut short and vision unrealized: we

remember.”

The last and culminating communal moment of the month is a

celebration: Yom Ha’atzma’ut, Israel Independence Day. Even after

sixty-eight years of statehood, we cannot afford to be complacent or

indifferent about Israel’s existence. It faces many threats from

within that endanger its democracy. It lives with a very real

existential vulnerability, with countries like Iran that openly speak

about violently destroying it, and movements like BDS that single it

out for hatred. We should still be deeply moved and inspired by its

very existence as a free, democratic and pluralistic nation amidst a

sea of dictatorships, autocracies, and terrorist entities. The

generation of individuals who remember the world without Israel is

growing older, but just ask any one of them what the world was like

for Jews before 1948, and they will shudder. But the State of Israel

exists not only as a refuge for threatened diaspora Jewish

communities. On the contrary, it is the real and symbolic emblem

of our people’s return to history and the world stage after 2000

years of mostly dreadful dispersion. Thus, Mishkan T’filah’s Yom

Ha’atzma’ut service includes these words of the prophet Jeremiah,

who went into exile with the destruction of the First Temple in

Jerusalem in 2,600 years ago: “And I Myself will gather the remnant

of the flock from all the lands…And I will bring them back to their

pasture. And they will dwell upon their own soil.”

I have mindfully referenced Mishkan T’filah several times in this

column. It is to underscore that Reform Judaism is aligned with the

world Jewish community when we observe occasions that touch Jews

everywhere. We are as much a part of the collective as Jews of all

kinds, from the steadfastly secular to the most observant Haredi,

and our liturgy reflects our inclusion and our ideology.

But even as our new prayerbook increased the pages devoted to

these modern commemorations, on the ground I have witnessed a

shrinking liberal Zionist community, and a growing distance

between progressive Jews and Israel. We are slowly disappearing

from the Zionist camp. This is reflected here in Columbus

too. Whenever we gather as a larger Columbus Jewish community

for Yom Hashoah, Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzma’ut, Reform Jews

are noticeably absent from those commemorations and

observances. It is an uncomfortable and disappointing truth, and

our absence in recent years from the public commemorations and

celebrations is noticeable and interpreted as apathy toward the

world Jewish community. This must change. It is time that we

embrace and fully participate, not only in spirit, but with our fully

present selves, at the Jewish community observances of Yom

Hashoah, Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzma’ut.

The dates are:

Yom Hashoah—Wednesday, May 4 — 7 to 9 PM at Agudas Achim,

featuring Dr. Rachel Korazim, Holocaust scholar and educator

Yom Hazikaron—Wednesday, May 11 — 7 to 8:30 PM at the Jewish

Community Center

IsraelFest—Thursday, May 12 — 4:00 PM into the early evening

at the Jewish Community Center

I look forward to commemorating with you.

Engagement Presidents’ Message

Dear Temple Israel Families –

Recently, we had the opportunity to meet with Rabbi Rick

Jacobs of the Union for Reform Judaism. In the course of our

conversation, he emphasized that ultimately the core of the

Jewish people is changing. He commended the deep digging

we’ve been doing here at Temple Israel, and applauded the heart

of our work as a true investigation of our fundamental principles

and foundation. Rabbi Jacobs identified this work as a true

indication that our congregation is open to change.

We are pleased to report that after eight months, fourteen focus

groups, and two-hundred plus survey responses, we are ready to

synthesize the results of the Design Team project. We want to

take this opportunity to extend a heart-felt and sincere thank

you for your involvement in our efforts. We are especially

grateful to those of you that have given your time to attend a

discussion and provide valuable feedback. We are listening to

your input, ideas and concerns -- we hope this is just the

beginning of our ongoing collaboration.

With your input, we have already begun to identify

opportunities to imagine Temple Israel differently. With

your ideas, we have already begun to experiment with new

possibilities. With your feedback we will continue to explore

bold ideas and ways to ‘do Jewish’ a little bit differently. With

your partnership – we hope to begin to change our existing

policies and practices to become a more inclusive, open and

authentic place to worship and engage spiritually.

Thank you for your willingness to share your aspirations for your

personal Jewish journey. We will continue to walk this path of

change together.

Reading Jewish Books

Tuesday, May 3

12:30 PM at the JCC

Lunch optional (quiche & salad) $10

We will be reading “All Who Go Do Not Return: A Memoir”

by Shulem Deen*

This is a moving and revealing exploration of Hasidic life, and one

man’s struggle with faith, family and community. Shulem Deen was

raised to believe that questions are dangerous. As a member of Skverers,

one of the most insular Hasidic sects in the U.S., he knows little about

the outside world – only that it is to be shunned. His marriage at

eighteen is arranged and several children soon follow. Deen’s first

transgression – turning on the radio – is small, but his curiosity leads

him to the library, and later to the internet. Soon he begins a feverish

inquiry into the tenets of his religious beliefs until, several years later, his

faith unravels entirely. This is an important book about the

consequences of being true to oneself and about a world and a

community few of us know.

*Book is available for purchase for $8.60 (tax included) from Cheryl

Dritz at the JCC. To reserve your copy, call Cheryl at the JCC, 614-559-

6238, or contact her at [email protected].

Books are selected from suggestions by those present at the Book Group.

Women of Temple Israel 2016 Tzedakah Collective

Our WTI Tzedakah Collective is off and

running! Last month, 21 members and friends

gathered together at the Palace Theatre to enjoy a

production of Mary Poppins in support of the

Pleasure Guild of Nationwide Children’s

Hospital. Collectively we raised $189, which will

support the Hospice and Palliative Care Program

of the hospital. We have also met with a Pleasure

Guild volunteer to learn more about the organization, and learned

about Judaism and Hospice Care.

Future plans include a September 5k in support of Ovarian Cancer

research and exploring Sharsheret, a national not-for-profit Jewish

organization that supports women and their families facing breast

and ovarian cancer. Additional local organizations that support

women and children will also be considered as grant recipients,

including the YWCA family shelter, Maryhaven and Girls on the

Run.

Our Tzedakah Collective is an on-going philanthropy project open

to all women from Reform congregations in Central Ohio. Each

member donates $60 (only $5 per month!), with the full amount

collected being donated to one or more of the agencies discussed

throughout the year. All donations are tax deductible.

Contact Cheryl Agranoff, [email protected] or (614) 738-1639,

or Betsey Krause, [email protected], if you are interested in

participating or would like additional information. Tentative

upcoming dates are 6/5, 8/7, 9/11, 10/23 and 12/4. Virtual

members are welcome to join us, and participation at our meetings

is not a requirement.

New Group Forms to Focus on Global Migrant Crisis

Nick Breyfogle, Karen Spierling, Rabbi Sharon Mars, Scott

Levi, Jillian Gustin, and Charlie Breyfogle (pictured left to

right) met last month for the first meeting of the Temple Israel

Syrian Refugee Alliance. When Charlie gave a powerful d'var

torah speech at his bar mitzvah this past January focusing on the

global migrant crisis, an important conversation was sparked

among his parents, friends, and other congregants. How can we

help even one migrant family? And how can we be part of a

Jewish effort to do so? Stay tuned as this group takes shape in

the next few months , and contac t J i l l i an
