  • Concurrence to David Hoffman's Teshuvah
    OH 244:1.2018 Concurrence to Rabbi David Hoffman’s Teshuvah, “Building at What Cost?” Rabbi Elliot N. Dorff This paper was submitted, in October 2018, as a concurrence on “Building at What Cost?” by Rabbi David Hoffman. Dissenting and Concurring papers are not official positions of the CJLS. I voted for this teshuvah both because its research and reasoning are cogent and also because in the context of the building project of the Jewish Theological Seminary, I think that he weighed the various factors involved correctly. That said, I think that other institutions (including synagogues, schools, and camps) in other situations might weigh those factors differently and use kabblanut to justify allowing non- Jewish contractors to work on those institutions’ building projects on Shabbat. There are several reasons that lead me to this conclusion: 1) I fully agree that what Jews knew about Jewish law and their degree of adhering to the laws of Shabbat at the time of Rabbenu Tam far outpaces what we can expect of lay Jews in the Conservative movement today. I think, though, that Rabbi Hoffman underestimates the ways of informing Jews today about these issues so that people seeing building of a Jewish institution on Shabbat will understand why it is justified. This can be done not only with the old technology – e.g., a sign in front of the building indicating that the contractor is not Jewish, that payment to the contractor is for the completed project and not calculated on an hourly basis. and that the contractor has chosen to use Shabbat as one of the days to complete the work – but also, and even more extensively, on the internet, including the various ways the institution communicates with its adults, teenagers, and children.

  • Annual Report to the Community a MESSAGE from the BOARD CHAIR and PRESIDENT & CEO
    2014-2015 Annual Report to the Community A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR AND PRESIDENT & CEO Decade after decade, over centuries and millennia, Jews around the world have embraced the blessing and the responsibility of caring for one another. Today, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation is our community’s way of continuing this tradition. It’s our communal response to both the everyday and the extraordinary needs of Jews in Milwaukee, in Israel and in 70 countries around the world. ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 REPORT ANNUAL In 2014-15, we made great strides in developing the financial resources that will sustain our work. We’re pleased to report that our donors invested $5.9 million in our 2015 Annual Campaign, a 3% increase over the previous year, after a multi-year downward trend in campaign achievement. Our donors see the value in our work, and it shows in their giving. We also made a giant step forward in building our Jewish Community Foundation, which now has $165 million in total assets. Through our Create a Jewish Legacy program, we secured 365 commitments for after lifetime “legacy” gifts with an estimated value of $8.7 million. We are following the ancient tradition among Jews of responding to need by saying, "Hineni: I am here. I am ready to do what is asked of me." This Annual Report tells the story of an extraordinarily generous community that distributed $19.6 million in support to nonprofits through the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and our Jewish Community Foundation. It’s a community to whom we owe our deepest gratitude.

    numerous headings in various places. I suspect that materials on Ramah were not carefully preserved at the Seminary until the camps became a national concern. Since the early camps were local ventures, records were kept in the local offices. Yet, here, too, there were problems, particularly with regard to Camp Ramah in Maine, which was open for only two Camp Ramah: seasons (1948-49), then closed permanently; many of its records have disappeared. Some were transferred to the Camp Ramah in the Poconos The Early Years, 1947-1952 office when that camp opened in 1950. That office moved from Phila­ delphia to New York and then back to Philadelphia, and many of the Shuly Rubin Schwartz Maine records were probably lost or discarded at that time. Another valuable source of written information is the personal collections of yearbooks, educational outlines, and camp rosters saved by staff and campers.

Hopefully, we have done the hard work of apologizing to one another for the things we did that we wish we hadn’t— or the things we didn’t do and wish we had. When we come together, we turn toward God, apologizing to God for deeds, words, actions, and inactions between ourselves and the Divine. It is an intense day of prayer and fasting. But it is not the holiday that dominates the upcoming month. Instead, that holiday is Sukkot, the seven-day (or eight-day, depending on your background) harvest festival, the holiday of booths. Sukkot begins this year, on Sunday, October 13, in the evening, but our congregational cele - bration starts the night before.
