We live in an increasingly polarized society. Across America, friends and family have stopped speaking with each other over political differences. In the American Jewish community, Israel once galvanized and united us. In recent years, Israel has been a source of increasingly con- tentious debate among us. Jews have always disagreed about important moral issues. This is our strength. But, lately, the disagreements about Israel have become intensely personal and increasingly destructive. How can we change the level of our discussion? In this series, we invite members of our community from across the political spectrum to discuss our feelings about Israel in an atmosphere of mutual respect. We will focus not only on the content of what we believe, but on the process of how we can learn to speak more civilly to each other and listen more openly.
Our goals are to increase our empathy for one another, to identify common ground where we can work together and to strengthen our community by learning that there is value in understanding each other more deeply even if it doesn’t lead to agreement.
AMONG THE QUESTIONS WE WILL EXPLORE:
• What does Israel mean to us?
• When we think about Israel today:
What inspires us? What are we most proud of? What concerns us?
• What is the nature of the conflict between Israel and its neighbors?
• What are the boundaries of legitimate criticism of Israel within the American Jewish community?
• How should we respond to criticism of Israel from outside the Jewish community?
• What would we like Israel’s future to look like? What gives us hope? For more details and registration, visit h-nt.org/israel-cd
206-232-8555 • [email protected] • www.h-nt.org 9 Incorporating another piece of our history, the design for the new covers was taken from the amazing Lott stain glass windows that have adorned our sanctuary. Each cover depicts one or more of the symbols from the windows – reflecting the footsteps left by those before us as we move to the future.
The creation of these covers could not have been possible without the dedicated help of several people: Beryl Cohen, a graphic artist who created the designs, Susan Edelheit for her thoughtful artistic advice, Nancy and Mark Luster for adding the Hebrew words, and to Jerry Weiser who not only made the wood structures for the covers but also spent hours with me as we figured out how to mount them. At some point in the future, when they are all done, we will be offering USING THE PAST TO LOOK FORWARD: naming opportunities for these new covers. NEW HNT TORAH COVERS Our family was so honored by the amazing turn out By Audrey Covner and support we received at the Legacy Brunch. We are so blessed to be part of such a wonderful community While there are many concepts in the Torah that and we hope that these new Torah covers will serve provide meaningful insights, a few have particularly to remind us all that we must look behind us for resonated with me, one of which I learned about from inspiration as we move forward. my daughter Claire’s Bat Mitzvah dvar. In Parshat Ki Tissa, Moses asks to see G-d’s face to have proof He exists. In response, G-d tells Moses, you can only see my back, using the word “achorai.” According to some commentary, the word achorai can also be understood to mean “afterwards.” G-d is saying to Moses, in order to see Me, look at what I have done and where I have been. The evidence of G-d’s existence is in what He has left behind. I believe the same can be said for all of us. The power we have is what we do with our lives and what we leave behind - the legacies we create. Many years ago, members of our congregation generously stepped forward to donate Torah covers offering us a legacy of beauty and majesty for our most precious symbols of our faith. We are so honored and blessed by those families.
Yet, the covers are made of fabric and, despite efforts to repair them, are ready to be retired. As the recipient of this year’s Bob Zimmerman Community Leadership Award, I could think of no better way to honor Bob z"l, whose name is synonymous with Torah, than to leave something behind that would be meaningful to him – new Torah covers. At this year’s Legacy Brunch, we revealed five of the nine new covers (the remaining four are still being made and although we have 11 Torahs, the two relatively new covers will not replaced).
