Seven high ranking Members of Knesset came for a meeting to speak about the Matzav, the “situation.” This term is usually related to issues impacting Israelis and Palestinians. However, the Matzav that our guests from Israel wanted to speak about was Jewish religious life in America and a growing tension with Israel, especially amongst young adults. RABBI MICHAEL S. Four Israel parties were represented by the group, and they wanted to arguing less with Rabbi Conover and I SIEGEL meet with a Conservative and a Reform Rabbi and visit a non-Orthodox and more with each other. It was clear Senior Rabbi, synagogue. I was honored to be joined by Rabbi Shoshana Conover that they were taking these issues The Norman Asher Rabbinic Chair [email protected] from Temple Sholom and impressed that this distinguished contingent seriously. was interested in engaging in such a dialogue. The meeting was I closed the meeting by speaking about the Guf, body of Israel, and the honest, open, and very loud. At times I felt as though we had been Nefesh, the soul of Israel. There is no doubt that when we look at the transported to a rancorous meeting at the Knesset! Matzav of Israeli security that there are significant dangers. More than Rabbi Conover and I were given time to explain some of the basic 150,000 missiles in Lebanon under the control of Hezbollah; the riots in tenants of the Conservative and Reform Movements and to offer an Gaza; the Palestinian stalemate; the war in Syria and the Iranian threat, overview of our congregations. Both Anshe Emet and Temple Sholom to just name a few. Israel looks to the Jews of America to advocate for are historic Chicago congregations on the cutting edge of Jewish life. Israel with Christians, and with Congress. I went on to say that there The two synagogues are deeply involved in outreach to the Jewish is another Matzav, and that is the one impacting the Nefesh of the community and are deeply engaged with Israel through advocacy Jewish people. That, too, is under threat both here in America and in and congregational trips to Israel. I mentioned my outrage at being the land of Israel. Rabbis across this country are fighting for the Nefesh named on a Blacklist of Rabbis around the world. Rabbi Conover added of the Jewish people, and it is a mighty struggle. Just as Israel looks poignantly that as a woman Rabbi, she would not be deemed worthy to to American Jews for support of the Guf, we need the lawmakers of even be considered for such a list! The point that we made again and Israel to stand with us to sustain the Nefesh. Rabbi Conover closed by again to the Israeli lawmakers was that the decision being made by the speaking of just how many Jewish youth in America feel disenfranchised Knesset constrains the free and open practice of Judaism in the Jewish from Israel, and how hard the rulings of Knesset are making it for homeland and continues to favor the Orthodox over the non-Orthodox. American Rabbis. At this, one of the Orthodox Members of Knesset We had a wide-ranging discussion about: said, “Here in America you have a separation between religions and • The continuing tensions surrounding the Kotel government, and we do not have that in Israel”. To which I responded, “Zot Haba’ayah! That is the problem!” • Conversion issues The fact is that we in Lakeview have a model of what Israel could look • The ways in which non-Orthodox efforts to build congregations like without government interference. The Rabbis both work with are thwarted and respect one another. There are legal decisions that are made • The unwillingness to recognize the non-Orthodox Rabbis in Israel by the Rabbis of some congregations that are not accepted by other congregations. This can apply to issues of status as well. A person The conversation was so heated at times that you could not hear your own voice.
