Mine are the ones that create questions, which then lead to answers, which then lead to learning. Take for example one of my favorites, the story of Jacob’s ladder. In the story, Jacob falls asleep and has a dream. In his dream he envisions a ladder stretched between the heavens and the earth. He sees angels going up and going down on the ladder. At first glance this is an imaginative fantasy. But this is in the Torah; therefore it has layers of meaning. Think about all the questions this raises. What does the ladder represent? Who are the angels? Why are the angels first going up and then coming down, and not the other way around? When searching for the answers, we can and should study what those who have come before us wondered. Once we learn from our ancestors, it is important to use our own intellects to come to our own conclusions, be it theirs or our own. We can and should make our own guesses about what each story hopes to teach us. How do you see this story’s deeper meaning? In the way I see it, the whole story is about using faith to make our greatest advancements in learning. If we look carefully at the wording in Hebrew, we see that the ladder, which symbolizes the Torah, is secure in the heavens but not on the solid ground of the earth: it is towards the earth, near the earth, but not touching it. The heavens symbolize knowledge, enlightenment, and God. How to get to this ethereal place? We, who are like the angels in the dream, have to take the first step. And that first step is no ordinary step; it is a leap up to the first rung on to a ladder that does not feel secure. It is the hardest step. But isn’t this just like learning Torah? In order to learn Torah we study with a teacher. That means we are making time for this, going to Temple, signing up for a class, etc. It takes a leap. But there is more. We know when we arrive in that ‘class’ we must make ourselves vulnerable and reveal we did not know something and that we need to learn something new. However, once we take that first step, we feel a great sense of purpose and even a new found security – not in the stability of the ground but in the magnificence of the heavens. I would like to invite you to take such a leap. On January 27th and January 28th our sofer, scribe, will be returning to Temple Judea to help us write and learn about our own torah. If you have not filled in a letter, this would be a good time to call the office and put your name down. In the process of filling in the letter you will learn about Torah and about yourself. You will also have other opportunities to take classes and study. Most of all, I want to help you find a story that you connect with. I want to help you see how our ancestors understood that story and then help you find your own understanding. Rabbi Todd Chizner 3 TEMPLE NEWS Cantor’s Song Jewish tradition commands us to perform the mitzvah of chesed, acts of lovingkindness. Forms of chesed include: inviting guests into one's home, helping to meet the needs of the bride before her wedding, and honoring the dead by attending a funeral. More relevant to the themes of pastoral care is that Judaism requires the mitzvah of Bikur Cholim, visiting the sick and of Nicham Avelim, comforting the mourner. In contrast to the chesed of tzedakah, (giving charity), Bikur Cholim and Nicham Avelim do not involve the giving of one's possessions, but rather the giving of one's self. The Torah expects us to give comfort to one another. Just as God visits the sick and comforts mourners, so must all Jews. In an early chapter of the Torah, God appears to Abraham, and then Abraham is visited by three men identified as angels. The Talmud relates that this visit occurs on the third day after Abraham's circumcision and that God’s visit was for the purpose of visiting the sick. The reason for God’s appearance was not to reveal specific content, which is typical of their time together, but to be with Abraham as he recovers. Through Bikur Cholim, God was not delivering a message, teaching a concept or even curing an illness. God simply appears to be with Abraham and to offer the healing gift of relationship. If the chesed of Bikur Cholim is centered on building a relationship of healing, what suffering is it meant to relieve? It is important to identify suffering rather than pain as the operative issue here because the distinction between the two is critical. Pain is a neurological phenomenon; it can be quantified and measured. Although each person may have a different tolerance for pain, it is essentially an objective reality, open to scientific measurement. Suffering is a response to pain; it results from the emotional and spiritual meaning that the pain has in one's life. Medicine treats pain; caregiving responds to suffering. One can endure the pain caused by wounds that are healing, but similar levels of pain related to an incurable disease may be unbearable. Childbirth may produce pain similar to a gallbladder attack, yet it is felt entirely differently. It is the meaning that one attaches to the pain that differs, and so does the level of suffering. The suffering that is at the core of illness and loss is estrangement. When ill, one becomes estranged from the key components of life and even a healthy sense of self. In Jewish tradition, the sick person is given a title, Choleh. Similarly, one who is bereaved is not only living an experience, but has a new description, Avel. This is not to brand or label the sick or grieving, but to acknowledge their sense of "otherness". In illness, the sick are estranged from their community. They may be hospitalized or kept at home, separated from their jobs, their synagogues, their clubs; they lose their places as participants in their community's life. Illness estranges one from family. Even when the family is present, the sick feel alone, their role is compromised. Finally, and most devastatingly, prolonged illness causes estrangement from one's self. The sick lose a relationship to the person they have been. The estrangement of the suffering and the sense of alienation from community and self are at the center of despair, sadness and fear that the caregiver encounters at the bedside.

  • "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.
