  • For the Sake of the Children: a Synagogue Guide to Public School Partnerships
    FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN: A SYNAGOGUE GUIDE TO PUBLIC SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS אין העולם מתקיים אלא בשביל הבל תינוקות For the sake of the children, God sustains the world. Talmud, Shabbat 119b http://www.rac.org/pubs/partnership.html 1 INTRODUCTION At the 2001 UAHC Biennial, Rabbi Eric Yoffie called upon Reform Jews to make public education a priority for the Movement. We have done that in a variety of forums, from the public policy arena to the social service sector. See, for example, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism web page “Protecting the Wall, Supporting Our Schools; The Reform Movement’s Campaign for Public Education.” (www.rac.org/pubs/schools.html) This manual is the latest of these initiatives designed to enable our synagogues to address the vital concerns faced by public schools in their communities. By creating partnerships with their local public schools, Reform congregations will embody both the ideals of our Jewish tradition and the civic values that have strengthened our nation. Through such projects congregations will build new bridges within communities and ensure local children a strong educational foundation. We must do it for the sake of the children. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Our appreciation extends to many members of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC) staff. Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the (RAC), and Mark Pelavin, Associate Director of the RAC, reviewed this publication and offered their thoughtful suggestions for its improvement. RAC Legislative Assistants Randi Levine (2002-2003), Sheryl Shapiro (2003-2004) and Rob Levy (2003- 2004) provided research assistance and Machon Kaplan Interns Jill Cozen-Harel and Marisa Geer initiated the writing process under the supervision of RAC Program Director, Rabbi Michael Namath.

  • 71 What Do You Lose When You Lose Your Language?1
    Stabilizing Indigenous Languages What Do You Lose When You Lose Your Language?1 Joshua Fishman The first paper that I wrote in 1948 on native languages had to do with what is the impact of bilingualism on students. There were still parents then who were concerned that if their children learned another language it would ruin their English accent. If you would hear the tones of another languages every time they spoke English, how would they get a job and what would people think of them? Today, forty-five years later, we are still not “home” at convincing public opinion and the authorities that it is worth having all the languages we have today. Therefore, I want to start with this question, “What is lost when a lan- guage is lost?” It is amazing how people are uncomfortable about answering that question. I remember my mother always telling me, “When you start off a talk, make sure people know what the question is and ask a good question. A good question is worth everything.” And I would say to her, “Ma, you know, Americans, they start off a conference with a joke. You have to tell a joke for people to know that you’re about to speak?” She said, “Jokes? Ask a good ques- tion” That is an old Jewish tradition, if you have a good question, you have something worthwhile to worry about. Attitudes toward language-loss depend on your perspective. When a lan- guage is lost, you might look at that from the perspective of the individual.
