  • Abraham H. Foxman About Herbert Tarr
    at Old Westbury Hebrew Congregation Jewish Studies & Lectures 2007/5768 Fall Program KEYNOTE LECTURE OPEN TO ALL AT NO CHARGE MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2007, at 7:45 P.M ABRAHAM H. FOXMAN National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “THE DEADLIEST LIES: THE ISRAEL LOBBY AND THE MYTH OF JEWISH CONTROL” Abraham Foxman, National Director of ADL, is world-renowned as a leader in the fight against anti-Semitism, bigotry and discrimination. He is in the forefront of major issues of the day, including the rise of global anti-Semitism, the war on terrorism, church/state issues, religious intolerance, interfaith relations, the State of Israel and Holocaust issues. Born in Poland in 1940, Mr. Foxman was saved from the Holocaust by his Polish Catholic nursemaid who baptized and raised him as a Catholic. Foxman and his parents survived the war and came to America in 1950, but fourteen members of his family perished. Mr. Foxman is a graduate of the Yeshiva of Flatbush, and holds a B.A. in political science from City College as well as a J.D. degree from New York University School of Law. He also did graduate work at the Jewish Theological Seminary and at the New School for Social Research. He is the recipient of many awards and Honorary Degrees. Mr. Foxman appears frequently on national news programs and is the author of “Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism” and “The Deadliest Lies: The Israel Lobby and the Myth of Jewish Control.” ABOUT HERBERT TARR Twelve years ago the North Shore Institute for Adult Jewish Education was renamed to memorialize Rabbi Herbert Tarr, the best-selling author and humorist whose warmth, wit and wisdom exemplified in his critically acclaimed novels (“Conversion of Chaplain Cohen,” “Heaven Help Us!,” “So Help Me God,” “A Woman of Spirit,” etc.) reached both Jew and non-Jew, enhancing their appreciation and understanding of Judaism.

  • "The 'Fictional' American Rabbi"
    “THE ‘FICTIONAL’ AMERICAN RABBI”1 David J. Zucker, Ph. D. Description: Most “fictional” American rabbis serve congregations, and a continuing subplot involves conflict with their boards of trustees. Fiction thrives on dramatic moments, and there is more drama in conflict than moments of contentment. Are these conflicts depicted accurately? Sure, some are, some are not. The ongoing tensions between Rabbi David Small and his board in the Weekday Rabbi series by Harry Kemelman were overdrawn. That Small survived his congregational experience for twenty-five years was one of the mysteries of those books. Some fiction comes closer to reality than others. Though published three decades ago, Noah Gordon's The Rabbi rings true. In The Rabbi, Michael Kind serves at a number of pulpits, but then he settles very successfully. At the close of the novel, he thinks about how many sermons he has delivered over the years. “So many services, so many words. He grinned in the dark. Not so many as still stretched in front of him; he felt it in his bones, he could almost reach out and touch it, a ladder of Sabbaths to be climbed into the future.” Depictions of fictional women rabbis are a small, but growing category. It simply will take more time, more history, for authors to “imagine” rabbis-as-women into fiction. The phenomenon is simply too new to be a part of normative thinking. David J. Zucker, Ph.D. is rabbi/chaplain at Shalom Park. Most rabbis in fact, and in fiction who serve He is the author of American Rabbis: Facts and Fiction professionally as rabbis do so in a (Jason Aronson, 1994), and regularly publishes articles in congregational setting (as opposed to having Jewish and secular journals, including Judaism, Central rabbinic ordination and then serving in some Conference of American Rabbis Journal, Jewish Spectator, Annals of Long Term Care, Journal of Pastoral other occupation).

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Heaven Help Us by Herbert Tarr
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Heaven Help Us by Herbert Tarr SO HELP ME GOD! Tarr's easy-going and companionable rambles through American Jews' spiritual and secular preoccupations (Heaven Help Us. 1968) continue to amuse, but here he explores some deeply serious and disturbing matters such as Vietnam, the plight of Soviet Jewry, and the essence of religion. The narrator is bumptiously floundering Andrew Baron, who applies to the (Reform) Rabbinical Institute in New York in 1970 to escape the draft. After all, as he explains to the admissions committee: ""What else is there? A rabbi is a Jew squared, isn't he?"" But there is Andrew's dreadful secret--his actress mother is a Gentile--and it nags him as the school years roll on: he falls for a handsome female rabbinical student (whom he marries when a practice wedding becomes a real one by mistake); and he is assigned to act as adjunct rabbi at Temple Shalom, a caterer's pink marble paradise, where he has a hilarious debut in sanctuary fright (""Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is Two""). Andrew also observes tragedy and the cost of courage: a friend in Vietnam, later a POW, writes of horror and spiritual degradation; a pair who love one another are separated by religion; a youth flees to a bizarre cult and rejects his godless parents; and, during a frantic few days of acting as couriers in the Soviet Union (this has its antic moments), Andrew and a fellow student witness the results of the government's oppression of Jews.
