Liss Student Cantor Jenna McMillan Phone: (516) 671-4760 • Fax: (516) 676-9180 • E-mail: [email protected] • Web: www.ncrt.org November/December 2019 Cheshvan/Kislev/Tevet 5780 2 A Message From Our Rabbi I like this time of year when we see the changes in the color of the leaves, the weather cooling down and we look forward to getting together with our families for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. Each week in our Shabbat Services, we recite a prayer of Thanksgiving to God. The Modim prayer acknowledges the role of God in our lives, morning, noon and night, and by recit- ing this prayer, we acknowledge God and say thank you for all we have in our lives. For those of us who are regular Shabbat attenders, this is part of our weekly routine. How many of us take the time to pause, think about all we have that fulfills us and makes living worthwhile and say thank you? On Shabbat, the liturgy tells us that we do not seek to acquire or to gain, we pause to count our blessings. Many of our congregants come to be with us only on the holidays and an occasional Shabbat. Shabbat Services are so much less formal than the High Holidays and they can pro- vide you with an opportunity to take a step back from the rest of the week. You can put your busy lives and smartphones down for an hour or so and relax. I invite you to join us if you can. Make a commitment to coming even once a month and experience our Shabbat warmth and prayer as a community. So the concept of saying Thank You for Jews does not happen only once a year. The concept of getting together with family does not happen just once a year. Shabbat was created thousands of years ago to fulfill those purposes. The American tradition of coming together to celebrate Thanksgiving; a harvest holiday based on the fall holiday of Sukkot is a time when we do get together for family time, feasting, annual traditions, football watching, shopping and the like. We also have a religious component to the holiday. The Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service will be hosted at NCRT on November 24th at 7 p.m. We welcome clergy from the North Shore area and their congregants to this annual event. Please come. Please bring food with you for the I.N.N. and donations collected during the service go to the North Shore Shelter pro- gram. Please join us as we welcome the wider Glen Cove community into our congregation. There are a number of special programs coming up including a special speaker on No- vember 15th Shabbat Services where we will observe Kristallnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass, commemorating the beginning of the Holocaust in 1938. Ruth DeBeer will be speaking about her experiences growing up in Tost, Germany. The Service begins at 7:00. Join us for an adult ed program, a social event, a movie night, a Havdalah program, Shabbat Services, the Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, the Shabbat Hanukkah program, etc. all programs you will hear more about as we get closer to the dates. Looking forward to seeing you and celebrating with you. Rabbi Dr. Janet B. Liss 3 Student Cantor Jenna McMillan Shalom NCRT! “Hinei Mah Tov Umah naim shevet achim gam yachad! How good it is, How sweet it is, to be together on this day!” I can’t help but to think of the words of Elana Arian’s version of Hinei Mah Tov coming off of a wonderful and meaningful High Holy Day season at North Country Reform Temple. This time of year is usually spent in our various communities that we choose to dwell in, whether it be having dinner with our families on Erev Rosh Hashanah, spending time with friends in the sukkah, or coming to synagogue and enjoying a Shabbat as a community. I cherish all of the communities that I am a part of, and lately I have been especially thinking about the kehillah kedoshah, or holy community that we have created at NCRT in these past weeks of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah. What we have here at NCRT is truly special, and every person that chooses to come and be a part of it is crucial and important to the whole. I also think about our concept of L’dor V’dor, passing Judaism from generation to generation, and how the future of this community depends on it as I looked into the community at our children’s services. There were so many new, young families that it gives me hope and promise for the future of our religion. May we be able to focus on building our community, strengthening and fortifying it in order to help our tradition live on for generations to come.

Liss On the High Holidays, we are called to take a Chesbon Hanefesh, a spiritual accounting of our souls by reviewing the past year, and seriously considering how we want to move forward differently in the New Year. When I look back at what has hap- pened in America in the last year, it makes me want to cry. I cannot believe there were two synagogue shootings: at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh and in the Poway Chabad synagogue. During the Civil Rights Movement era, The Temple in Atlanta was bombed, other southern congregations found faulty bombs before they were detonated and others were threatened. No one was in the synagogue when it was bombed. For years, we have witnessed the horrors of mass shootings in churches, black churches, in mosques and in Sheikh Temples. When will we see any evidence that anyone with the power to stop this cares? We had a couple who started coming to Shabbat Services regularly last fall and making friends. They were invited to a Bat Mitzvah here, and then, after the Pittsburgh shooting they disappeared. I called them a few weeks later and told them we missed seeing them. I asked why they stopped coming. Their answer was they were afraid to come back after the shooting. I explained that while I understood their fear, I thought that we were safe at NCRT. Their response saddens me. It saddens me that we have mass shooting after mass shooting in America and our government, who is elected to protect us, sits on the sidelines and does nothing. In August, Grace and I went to San Miguel De Allende, Mexico and met the Kolberts there. Ana’s extended family was spending a week together leading up to their nephew’s wedding. Ana’s family comes from Quarez, Mexico; the town that bor- ders El Paso, Texas. The Walmart shooting took place 2 days after the wedding. We spent a week getting to know Ana’s family. Hearing that yet another mass shooting took place right after meeting people from Quarez, people who routinely cross the border to go shopping, personalized that shooting for me. Those victims could have just as easily been Ana’s family or their friends. We read in the beginning of the Book of Deuteronomy after the Children of Israel had been wandering for 38 years that Moses explains to them that because of the rebel- lious reaction of their fathers, when 38 years earlier the spies returned from scouting the 7 land and reported that giants inhabited Canaan, their fathers complained that they wanted to go back to Egypt. Their punishment was their generation was forbid- den entry to the Promised Land. Their children were promised entry in the Land of Israel if they did not follow in their fathers’ footsteps and rebel against God. Their fa- thers forfeited their right to enter Israel because of their lack of faith in God. The new generation only had to learn the lesson of history as they stood on Israel’s threshold. Think about this: the old generation forfeited their right to enter Israel because of their actions and the new generation, only had to learn the lesson of history to be able to reap the benefits of a bright future. I have been thinking a lot about this message after reviewing this past year in America. How many generations of American children have been raised with the knowledge of mass shootings in this country? What was the greatest danger you faced when you went to school as a child? I remember getting in trouble if you forgot your homework or were caught chewing gum. Being afraid to go to school, having to pass through security apparatus, buying and owning bullet proof backpacks were some- thing we could have never imagined. So today I wonder, how many more years will have to pass until some lucky generation reaps the benefits of what we are experienc- ing today because gun violence will one day be a few dark pages in American history books. In the Holiness Code, chanted beautifully by our past president, Paula Frome, every Yom Kippur afternoon, we read about the concept of justice.

This presentation will focus on how to choose Hebrew children’s materials, where to purchase them, a refresher on cataloging those materials, and a glimpse at some of the newer Hebrew children’s books and videos one can purchase for your library. It will also highlight some of the Hebrew children’s websites available for learning to read and speak Hebrew.

Ever since I was a little boy I have been a fan, and some might even say that I became somewhat obsessed, for which I cannot really blame them. Moreover, I have always had a special interest in mixed language songs, so linking the two subjects seemed only natural. Thanks to a rather unfortunate turn of events, this thesis took a lot longer to write than was initially planned, but nevertheless, here it is. Special thanks are in order for my supervisor, Tony Foster, who has helped me in many ways during this time. I would also like to thank a number of other people for various reasons.

  • Machonl'morim
    Machon L’Morim .*9&/- 0&,/ “Each individual has the right to feel that the world is created for his own sake. As a logical consequence of this conception, each child is entitled to be loved and cared for in order that he may have the possibility of developing to his maximum capability.” “Judaism has special esteem for children, considering them the hope for the future and the basis for the perpetuation of the Torah...Children are the vital links in the continuation of the unbroken chain of the Jewish heritage throughout the ages.” Shoshna Matzner-Bekerman in The Jewish Child: Halakhic Perspectives Judaism has traditionally accorded children a place of honor and esteem within the family and the community. Judaism insists parents provide children with love, trust, compassion, and guidance. Early childhood educators participate in the raising of children virtually at the same level as the parents. The Talmud tells us that “one who teaches the child Torah is considered as if he had borne him.” It is apparent that if we want children to actually experience how they are honored and esteemed as individuals in Jewish tradition, we must do more than teach them about the religion. We ourselves must embody the Jewish values that inform our love and respect. We must project these values through our own interactions with them and with each other, allowing them to feel in an immediate way what it is like to participate in a community based on the love God holds for each of us. These are the values that our rituals, holidays, and practices clothe in celebration and participation.

I argue that it was the ambiguous play between Greek music’s discursive value (its “image”) and the semiotic potential of its sound and music-adjacent practices, that allowed for its double-reception by Euro-Israeli elites and Working-class immigrants from Arab and Muslim countries (Mizrahim). This ambiguity positioned Greek music as a site for bypassing, negotiating, and subverting the dichotomy between Jew and Arab. As embodied in the 1960s by the biggest local star of Greek music––Aris San (1940- 1992) ––and by Greek international films such as Zorba the Greek, Greece and “Greekness” were often perceived as an unthreatening (i.e.

  • The Path Leading to the Abyss: Hebrew and Yiddish in the Poetry Of
    The Path Leading to the Abyss: Hebrew and Yiddish in the Poetry of Yaakov Steinberg 1903-1915 Elazar Elhanan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Elazar Elhanan All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Path Leading to the Abyss: Hebrew and Yiddish in the Poetry of Yaakov Steinberg 1903-1915. Elazar Elhanan This dissertation explores the dynamics of identity construction and nation building in Hebrew and Yiddish literature in Russia and Poland in the decade following the 1905 revolution. It examines these dynamics through a study of the poetry of Yaakov Steinberg between the years 1903-1915. Steinberg, an important but little studied poet and writer, wrote extensively in both languages. He renounced Yiddish upon his immigration to Palestine. Through the comparison of Steinberg’s Hebrew poems and the poems he wrote in Yiddish this dissertation exposes the intricate relations between the languages and the political ideologies of Yiddishism and Zionism that accompanied them, in Steinberg’s work and in general. The dissertation shows how the constitution of a modern national subject became the prime concern for these literatures, both as a general ideological demand and as a personal, emotional question. By placing the conflict between the two language ideologies in the center of the debate, this dissertation seeks to point out to a serious methodological lacuna in the study of Hebrew literature and of Zionist history. By placing Yaakov Steinberg’s poetry in a wide polyglot context and defining his bilingualism as a fundamental characteristic and a major theoretic concern, this work seeks to demonstrate the depth and span of the discourse on the future of the Jews, as individuals or as a nation, that took place in the revolutionary space of turn of the century Russia.
