October 2020 Have Made Very Little Difference to Their Celebrations KOL AMI Jewish Center & Federation New ideas of the Twin Tiers Congregation Kol Ami A different kind of Sukkot Jewish Community School When every Jewish household built a sukkah at home, a pandemic would October 2020 have made very little difference to their celebrations. Maybe fewer guests would have been invited for meals in the sukkah, and it might have been harder to obtain specialty fruits and vegetables, but the family had the suk- In this issue: kah and could eat meals in it, perhaps even sleep in it.

Did you resolve during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to give tzedakah? At Sukkot, considering giving to a program that provides shelter for the homeless. In Elmira, the Second Place East shelter is administered by Catholic Charities. Congregation Kol Ami celebrates Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah on the same day. Services, on Friday, October 9, and Saturday, October 10, will be on Zoom, and the morning service on October 10 includes Yizkor. Simchat Torah at home is a particular challenge, because the custom is to dance and march with the Torah scrolls together in the synagogue. To cele- brate at home, begin with an especially festive Shabbat dinner on Friday evening. Because the Torah is likened to the sweetness of honey, you might want a sweet dessert. Plum cake is a tradition of Austrian and German Jews, and fluden—pastry layered with several different fruit fillings—is also tradi- tional. Maybe you would like to open champagne for kiddush! For children, maybe the festival warrants an exception to the no-sweetened-drinks-at- meals rule. You probably don’t have a Torah scroll at home to dance with. Don’t let that stop you from dancing during the music in the Simchat Torah service—you can turn your camera off if you want. Maybe it would feel right to hug a chumash or Bible while you dance. For young children, the Reform movement sug- gests making candy Torah scrolls. Just take two rolls of candy such as Smarties, wrap a strip of col- orful paper around them, and tie with ribbon. כל עמי–Congregation Kol Ami from Cheryl Miller Greetings!

  • What Sugyot Should an Educated Jew Know?
    What Sugyot Should An Educated Jew Know? Jon A. Levisohn Updated: May, 2009 What are the Talmudic sugyot (topics or discussions) that every educated Jew ought to know, the most famous or significant Talmudic discussions? Beginning in the fall of 2008, about 25 responses to this question were collected: some formal Top Ten lists, many informal nominations, and some recommendations for further reading. Setting aside the recommendations for further reading, 82 sugyot were mentioned, with (only!) 16 of them duplicates, leaving 66 distinct nominated sugyot. This is hardly a Top Ten list; while twelve sugyot received multiple nominations, the methodology does not generate any confidence in a differentiation between these and the others. And the criteria clearly range widely, with the result that the nominees include both aggadic and halakhic sugyot, and sugyot chosen for their theological and ideological significance, their contemporary practical significance, or their centrality in discussions among commentators. Or in some cases, perhaps simply their idiosyncrasy. Presumably because of the way the question was framed, they are all sugyot in the Babylonian Talmud (although one response did point to texts in Sefer ha-Aggadah). Furthermore, the framing of the question tended to generate sugyot in the sense of specific texts, rather than sugyot in the sense of centrally important rabbinic concepts; in cases of the latter, the cited text is sometimes the locus classicus but sometimes just one of many. Consider, for example, mitzvot aseh she-ha-zeman gerama (time-bound positive mitzvoth, no. 38). The resulting list is quite obviously the product of a committee, via a process of addition without subtraction or prioritization.

The Foundation also hopes to contribute to other arenas of Jewish education by supporting “thought leadership,” which may take the form of research, re-conceptualization, assessment and other intellectual initiatives. Toward that end, the Foundation commissioned this examination of recent trends in the field of supplementary Jewish education in order to help inform itself and a wider public concerned about such schooling. As a next step, AVI CHAI intends to support three research initiatives—described at the conclusion of the report—designed to stimulate new lines of inquiry in the field of supplementary Jewish education. As is clear from the report, the supplementary school field is in a process of evolution that is not yet well understood. Change provides both opportunities and challenges.
