Rabbi’s Message Mi Shebeirach for an Aliyah The Mi Shebeirach blessing has become a regular feature of our services. Mi She- beirach means “The One who blessed.” It begins: Mi Shebeirach avoteinu, Avra- ham, Yitzhak, v’Ya’akov, v’imoteinu, Sarah, Rivka, Rahel, v’Leah... Hu y’vareich et… “May the One who blessed our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and our mothers, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, bestow Your blessing upon ... and so on.” Though most often we have recited Mi Shebeirach for those who are ill, our liturgy actually provides different Mi Shebeirach texts for various occasions. There are blessings at an aufruf for a bride and groom; blessings for new parents and blessings for their babies; and indeed, blessings for each per- son who is given the honor of being called the Torah to recite the Torah blessing - the honor that we call an Aliyah (going up to the Torah). The Torah blessings are completed, and then the Mi Shebeirach is recited by the Rabbi or Cantor. While earlier generations of Reform Jews preferred to excise all these “Mi Shebeirachs” from the service, of- ten out of a general anxiety about needlessly elongating the liturgy, our own generation has shown a marked preference for putting them back in. There is a general sense that it is important to acknowledge and bless people in their lives: whether as a prayer for a restoration to health, or in the joy of a new baby, an impending marriage, or for the honor of being called to the Torah. Our new siddur, MISHKAN T’FILAH, has inserted a Mi Shebeirach for an Aliyah, which essentially is the tradi- tional text. Some of the members of our Religious Practices Committee found the traditional wording objec- tionable from a theological standpoint, so I took the liberty of rewriting the blessing. The translation of the text now reads: May the One Who blessed our fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and our mothers, Sarah, Re- becca, Rachel and Leah, bless ________ (son)(daughter) of _________ who has ascended to the Torah, with good health, happiness, prosperity and peace; with wisdom and understanding, with the love of Torah and reverence for the Divine. And let us say Amen. We have used this already at Shabbat Morning services, and it seems to be well received by those in atten- dance, and appreciated by those who have been called for an aliyah. Thus, the next time you happen to be at a morning service, you’ll hear this Mi Shebeirach in addition to the one for healing. We hope you will enjoy the addition of this blessing. Though it adds little more than a few seconds to the service, it holds considerable significance for those being blessed, and their families. Blessings to all – -Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman 2 Officer’s Column Thank You All It’s June, and a good time to thank everyone who does principals and teachers.

Our Religious School and Preschool -Ellen Kolikoff, Secretary Gala a Huge Success! After months of planning and anticipation, the Union Temple 160th Anniversary Gala Dinner –themed Renais- sance 160 - was a huge success. On Saturday night, April 18, 167 Temple members and friends gathered in the ballroom for an evening of celebration. Amid elegant décor and piano accompaniment, we paid tribute to three dedicated temple leaders: President Doris Klueger; Vice President Henry Singer; and trustee and past Vice President Dr. Marvin Lieberman. Early in the evening, the kids from our religious school presented a memory box they have been working on, collecting memorabilia from this moment in time, to be set aside and reopened fifteen years hence, at the tem- ple’s 175th Anniversary. Among the treasures will be an invitation to the gala, the dinner journal and a DVD commemorating the history of Union temple, up to and including the 160th Anniversary festivities. Thanks are due our Religious School Director, Dr. Ann Landowne, for supervising this project. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz presented a proclamation naming April 18, 2009 as Union Temple’s 160th Anniversary Celebration Day and a citation honoring TODAH RABBAH our President, Doris Klueger. The Temple received another procla- mation in its honor from Representative Anthony Weiner.

    June 20, 2018 The Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, DC 20530 The Honorable Kirstjen Nielsen Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Attorney General Sessions and Secretary Nielsen, On behalf of the 55 undersigned national and 291 state and local Jewish organizations and institutions, we write to express our strong opposition to the recently expanded “zero-tolerance” policy that includes separating children from their migrant parents when they cross the border. This policy undermines the values of our nation and jeopardizes the safety and well-being of thousands of people. As Jews, we understand the plight of being an immigrant fleeing violence and oppression. We believe that the United States is a nation of immigrants and how we treat the stranger reflects on the moral values and ideals of this nation. Many of these migrant families are seeking asylum in the United States to escape violence in Central America. Taking children away from their families is unconscionable. Such practices inflict unnecessary trauma on parents and children, many of whom have already suffered traumatic experiences. This added trauma negatively impacts physical and mental health, including increasing the risk of early death.1 Separating families is a cruel punishment for children and families simply seeking a better life and exacerbates existing challenges in our immigration system. It adds to the backlog of deportation cases and legal challenges in federal courts, places thousands more immigrants in detention facilities and shelters, endangers the lives of more children, and instills additional fear in people seeking safety in our country.
