An emergency meeting of the American Presidium of Kolel America was convened at the request of the illustrious co-chairmen of the Israel Board of Directors, the Gaonim Horav Yitzchok Scheiner, Shlita, Rosh Yeshivas Kamenetz and Horav Hillel Zaks, Shlita, Rosh Yeshivas Chevron. The situation in our Holy Land today is disasterous. Arab unrest, widespread unemploy­ ment and soaring inflation are causing economic chaos. The cost of living is rising at a record rate. The plight of our fellow Americans living in Israel is especially grim. Re­ strained by their American sense of pride and independence from seeking out sources of aid, they and their families often suffer poverty. As it has since 1896, Kolel America offers year-round succor and emergency aid with compassion and dignity to Americans and Canadians in our Holy Land. The constantly increasing number of families forced to apply for help has wreaked havoc with our already overtaxed budget. Greatly increased sums are crucial if we are to stand by our fellow Americans in their time of need. With the Holy Days approaching. we appeal most fervently to each and every American Jew to respond most generously so that we can continue to provide for our needy Ameri· can brethren in Israel We invoke the merit of the miracle-working Thlmudic sage, Rabbi Meir Baal Haness, and the blessing penned by our illustrious founder, Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin, ZT'L; "The upholders of Kole!

    (The) Sisterhood is Powerful: Remarks by Rabbi Rachel M. Isaacs upon the Inauguration of the Dorothy “Bibby” Levine Alfond Professorship in Jewish Studies. November 19, 2015 Colby College, Waterville, Maine In October of 1957, the Beth Israel Congregation sisterhood met to discuss issues that ranged from the pedestrian to the controversial. After a vigorous conversation on the value of having a gossip column in the synagogue newsletter, the women of the sisterhood turned to their attention to an issue that was as salacious as it was fantastical: the possibility of women rabbis. Even though the Reform movement had ordained one woman, Regina Jonas, in Germany before the Holocaust, she had perished with her congregation in the concentration camps, and was largely forgotten by the mainstream Jewish world for many decades to come. But on this day in October of 1957, the sisterhood leaders of Beth Israel Congregation discussed the issue in Waterville, Maine. According to synagogue records, “Mrs. George Chesner introduced Rabbi Steinberg who was the speaker of the evening. His topic - ‘Women Rabbis’.” Sisterhood secretary Esther Paikowsky recorded his remarks: “Rabbi Steinberg is definitely opposed to women following this 1 profession. One reason being that there would not be a ‘Rebbetzin (a rabbi’s wife), and since a ‘Rebbetzin’ has functional duties in a congregation, it would not do to have the husband perform these duties. Another objection is who would raise the family and care for the home, certainly a man cannot do that. Therefore a man

    cŠqa BERESHITH "IN THE BEGINNING" A Newsletter for Beginners, by Beginners Vol. XXXIII No. 4 Sivan 5780/May 2020 ziy`xa THE SOUND OF SILENCE Rabbi Aaron Blackman There was once a man in the town of Chelm, who decided to go to the mikveh. The people in the town of Chelm were not known to be the smartest, so this man felt he needed to make sure that he would remember who he was after he went for his dunk and was not dressed. So he came up with the brilliant idea of tying a red ribbon around his hand. Upon coming up out of the mikveh he looked down, and to his shock and horror, he didn't see his red ribbon. Looking up, he saw a man who had a red ribbon tied around his big toe. So he rushed up to him and said, "I know who you are, but can you tell me who I am!" The world has been bathed in an eerie silence which descended upon us between the holidays of Purim and Passover. When we all said, "Mah Nishtana Halila Hazeh," "How is this night different from all other nights?" the answer was so obvious that the question sounded rhetorical.
