March – April 2019 HEBREW TABERNACLE BULLETIN Y March-April 2019 ADAr-ADAR II/ADAR II-NISAN 5779 VOLUME CV | ISSUE 354 RABBI’S MESSAGE T’FILLAH SCHEDULE oward the end of April, at the Pesach seder, we will recount the Exodus from Egypt and the birth of the Jewish people. March 2019 ADAR-ADAR II 5779 TThis momentous event in Jewish history occurred as Pharoah Friday, March 1, 2019 ADAR 24 felt threatened: “Behold, the children of Israel are too many and too 6:00 pm: Tot Shabbat mighty for us; Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply 7:30 pm: Kabbalat Shabbat and join with our enemies in case of war.” Pharoah’s words marked the Saturday, March 2, 2019 ADaR 25 beginning of our ancestors’ enslavement in Egypt, just as President Trump describes the caravan of asylum seekers from Central America Parashat Vayakhel as criminals overwhelming our borders and our nation. Shabbat Shekalim Soon after our ancestors crossed the Red Sea unto freedom, they 10:00 am: Shabbat Service received the Ten Commandments. In contrast to Egyptian tyranny 7:00 pm: Havdalah Hang and to the immoral practices of those who lived in the Promised Land, Moses was instructed to form a nation based on law, social justice, and Friday, March 8, 2019 ADAR II 1 respect for the individual. As a “mixed multitude” came out of Egypt, Rosh Chodesh Adar II the new nation would seem a protest movement that also embraced 6:30 pm: Family Service – Buffet Dinner diversity. It is not astonishing that the mitzvah of “loving the stranger” appears 36 times in the Torah. At the earliest stages of revelation, God Saturday, March 9, 2019 ADAR II 2 forbade our ancestors from oppressing the stranger for they were Parashat Pekudei strangers in the land of Egypt. 10:00 am: Shabbat Rosh Chodesh Service During the nearly 2,000 years of dispersion, Judaism has functioned Rosh Chodesh discussion with lunch on “Jewish Calendar” after services as a counter-culture. Jews were the only people who, as a group, re- fused to assimilate to the dominant culture or convert to the domi- Friday, March 15, 2019 ADAR II 8 nant faith. In the Modern age, Jews refused to embrace the pagan 7:30 pm: Kabbalat Shabbat nationalism of Nazi Germany. They refused to embrace the chains of Saturday, March 16, 2019 ADAR II 9 Soviet-style totalitarianism. Today, many American Jews refuse to em- Parashat Vayikra brace the anti-immigrant mindset which has resurfaced in our coun- try. Indeed, Judaism is God’s question-mark against the conventional 10:00 am: Shabbat Zachor Service wisdom of each age. Purim Carnival prep/ Hamentashen Baking Judaism is a counter-culture because we believe that the world can be fundamentally changed. Every system of oppression, no matter Wednesday, March 20, 2019 how powerful it appears to be, can be overthrown. In fact, we were Erev Purim part of overthrowing ancient Egypt, and we have watched the super- 6:00 pm: Chai For A Pie powers of antiquity being overthrown. So nothing in the social world 6:30 pm: Purim Service / Purimspiel is fixed. And ordinary people can be central to those changes. Jews Friday, March 22, 2019 ADAR II 15 know that, because we did ourselves. We were once the most degrad- ed of all social statuses–slaves–and now we are free. And that trans- 6:00 pm: Tot Shabbat formation was made possible because there is a God in the universe 7:30 pm: Kabbalat Shabbat that makes possible the transformation from slavery to freedom. So Saturday, March 23, 2019 ADAR II 16 don’t be fooled by any ruling group that tells you something different, Parashat Tzav because we are living proof that everything could be opposite to what 10:00 am: Shabbat Service it is. Indeed, many of the founders of the American Reform Movement Friday, March 29, 2019 ADAR II 22 firmly believed that Jewish teaching and correcting the social, politi- 7:30 pm: Kabbalat Shabbat cal, and economic evils of society went hand in hand. They refused to isolate themselves from the outside world. They were not prepared Saturday, March 30, 2019 ADAR II 23 to pass the buck to God or to wait for the Messiah to make a grand Parashat Shmini entrance.

  • Police Abuse and Misconduct Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People in the U.S
    United States of America Stonewalled : Police abuse and misconduct against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the U.S. 1. Introduction In August 2002, Kelly McAllister, a white transgender woman, was arrested in Sacramento, California. Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies ordered McAllister from her truck and when she refused, she was pulled from the truck and thrown to the ground. Then, the deputies allegedly began beating her. McAllister reports that the deputies pepper-sprayed her, hog-tied her with handcuffs on her wrists and ankles, and dragged her across the hot pavement. Still hog-tied, McAllister was then placed in the back seat of the Sheriff’s patrol car. McAllister made multiple requests to use the restroom, which deputies refused, responding by stating, “That’s why we have the plastic seats in the back of the police car.” McAllister was left in the back seat until she defecated in her clothing. While being held in detention at the Sacramento County Main Jail, officers placed McAllister in a bare basement holding cell. When McAllister complained about the freezing conditions, guards reportedly threatened to strip her naked and strap her into the “restraint chair”1 as a punitive measure. Later, guards placed McAllister in a cell with a male inmate. McAllister reports that he repeatedly struck, choked and bit her, and proceeded to rape her. McAllister sought medical treatment for injuries received from the rape, including a bleeding anus. After a medical examination, she was transported back to the main jail where she was again reportedly subjected to threats of further attacks by male inmates and taunted by the Sheriff’s staff with accusations that she enjoyed being the victim of a sexual assault.2 Reportedly, McAllister attempted to commit suicide twice.
