As the world’s refugee population grows, so do efforts to demonize the refugee. Our own country has a history that is at best complicated and at worst, as we are currently witnessing, capable of demagoguery and cruelty. Jewish moral teachings are clear. Our very story in antiquity is that of refugees, wanderers from a land of oppression in search of a promised land. Jews throughout 40 centuries have experienced the plight of the refugee and the immigrant. From the first diaspora of Babylon to the migration of Jews into Italy, Spain and North Africa and later into the Baltics of Russia and the Ukraine, our survival as a people of faith depended on the welcoming conditions of As our nation debates a hosting nation. As American Jews, our population has grown from a mere 5,000 in 1820 to over 5 million today. All four of immigration reform and my own grandparents came to this country as immigrants from Eastern Europe and Russia. I remember going to Ellis Island some call for walls and and seeing their names on the honoring stones around the island. They each knew how indebted they were to this country. closed borders, let us Variations on that American story are true for most of us. educate ourselves about Throughout history, Jewish communities have flourished in open societies with freedom of faith and practice. We have the present realities of flourished in democratic societies that cherish human freedom and are compassionately aware of the needs of the newcomer. immigration in our country. As our nation debates immigration reform and some call for walls and closed borders, let us educate ourselves about the present realities of immigration in our country. We will devote a special Shabbat to this critical topic, with guest speaker, Heidi Altman, who currently serves as the director of policy at the National Immigration Justice Center. Heidi, who is frequently seen on CNN and quoted in the media, has devoted her career to providing legal services to immigrant populations. I have ordered copies of Aviva Chomsky’s classic book, Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal, which are on sale at the Temple office. It is a terrific resource, and I urge you to read it as background for this Shabbat. We also will be welcoming Heidi with a special Shabbat meal before services, prepared by an immigrant chef to the U.S. Come join us as they share their delicious food traditions from around the globe! Don’t miss this very special, very important evening! L’shalom, Rabbi Warren Stone 2 | KOL KORE / from the Cantor Chevre- I hope that you had a sweet and meaningful Yamim Noraim, High Holy Days, filled with reflection and contemplation, allowing us to look forward with eyes that are open and clear. Next month, an exciting musical evening will be taking place at the Music Center at Strathmore, in Bethesda. On November 11, 2018, at 7 pm, the Reform Cantors & Synagogue Musicians of MD/DC/ VA will present a cantorial concert, with the theme of Past, Present, Future Harmony- The Journey of American Cantors in Story and Song. This concert will benefit the Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music at Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion, in New York City. As Co-Chair of the Music Selection Committee for the concert, I worked with a team of cantors to select music that paints the landscape of Jewish music in America, tracing our musical roots from the ornate, intricate runs of chazzanut in the 1940s, all the way through the folk/ rock influenced sound of today, and everything in between. This concert is going to be magnificent, featuring a volunteer choir of over 300 congregants, including our beloved Kol Zimrah. They will sing in support of over 20 cantors and synagogue musicians, making for an evening that will truly be spectacular. I am particularly enthused about this evening, because it will showcase all that Jewish music can be. I certainly appreciate the current sound of Jewish music, which is heavily influenced by rock and folk genres. Yet, I PAST hold a soft spot for the spectrum of Jewish music, especially the more classic styles, including chazzanut and choral pieces from the mid 20th century. These PRESENT difficult, vocally demanding genres elevate the text in a way that is sophisticated, tugging at the heart strings while offering the listener something curated FUTURE and exhilarating. This is the style that I loved most when I was a student at HUC-JIR, working with my professors to carefully polish and cultivate this HARMONY gorgeous music; A sound that is emblematic of a different musical time. This was the music that I showcased during this year’s High Holy Days, and I am thrilled to showcase these genres in a concert that The Journey of American will benefit my alma mater. Cantors in Story and Song I hope that you are able to attend the concert on Music Center at Strathmore, Bethesda, MD November 11, as it will truly be an exceptional Sunday Presented by the Reform Cantors & Synagogue Musicians of MD/DC/VA evening. I also look forward to bringing more of this Nov. 11, 2018 Tickets available online at music to Temple Emanuel, as it is within this classic 7:00 PM www.strathmore.org Jewish music that my heart sings its fullest sound.

The reasons for this sharp growth are not entirely clear, but many observers credit the Internet and other technological advances for reducing the cost of organizing and helping people of particular inclinations to find each other and to remain connected. They also credit commensurate shifts in the wider culture for making the idea of self‐ organizing among like‐minded individuals more acceptable, expected, and feasible. Thus, creative and energetic social entrepreneurs have been reaching and organizing those around them in newly initiated groups, large and small, dedicated to serving the interests and realizing the values of specific constituencies with distinctive purposes, interests, values and aesthetics. Just as niche marketing has made numerous specialized goods and services available to specialized consumers, so niche organizing has brought together networks and communities to an unprecedented

Klein (Toronto: The Ryerson Press, 1970) by expressing the opinion that t Klein has bequeathed to his successors the task of creating their country. The emphasis on space and landscape in “Grain Elevator” and “Portrait of the Poet as Landscape” is echoed in the work of Margaret Atwood and Margaret Avison. Klein’s “nth Adam”, the unacknowledged legislator of a new Canada of the spirit, may be found in the poems of Gwendolyn MacEwen and joe Rosenblatt, and even in Cohen’s Beautiful Losers (p. 25). Marshall’s point is well taken, even if one does not completely agree with his closing remark that Klein is “the man who has come closer than any other Canadian Poet to greatness” (p 25). The phrase “nth Adam” is taken from “Portrait of the Poet as Landscape”, and this poem, coming as it does after nearly twenty years of writing and publishing poetry1 appears to present a view on what a poet’s role might be in the society in which he finds himself. For this reason alone, if for no other, the poem might be accorded a close reading, an exploration of the idea of the “poet-as-Adam” which seems to have been a personal reflection of the poet. •v Much of Klein’s work is soundly based in Jewish tradition, and his knowledge of (and esteem for) that tradition is always evident, though as M.

  • D.I.Y. JUDAISM: a ROUNDTABLE on the INDEPENDENT MINYAN PHENOMENON Moderated by Shifra Bronznick
    D.I.Y. JUDAISM: A ROUNDTABLE ON THE INDEPENDENT MINYAN PHENOMENON Moderated by Shifra Bronznick Jewish prayer requires a community of ten - a minyan - but not a rabbi or a congregation. For most of the past century, when the primary organization of American Jewish life was the synagogue, the distinction was academic. Over the last decade, however, there has been a small explosion of independent minyanim, lay-led communities for worship. Often meeting in church basements and synagogue social halls, these minyanim are disproportionately composed ofyoung Jewish leaders and professionals - precisely the people the institutional community has tried and failed to reach with huge initiatives and costly programs. They are independent, communally governed, and non­ denominational - and they may be quietly changing the shape ofAmerican Judaism. For this conversation, Zeek brought together the leaders of six such minyanim for a conversation moderated by Shifra Bronznick herself a member of Minyan M~at, a lay-led minyan at Congregation Ansche Chesed in New York. The participants were Ben Dreyfus (Kol Zimrah, New York), Jo Ellen Green Kaiser (Senior Editor, Zeek), Elie Kaunfer (Kehilat Hadar, New York), Yehuda Kurtzer (Washington Square Minyan, Boston/Brookline), Sarah Lefton (Mission Minyan, San Francisco), Rachel Milner-Gillers (Tehillah, Mor Arkadir, Oil, Water Boston/Cambridge), and Beth Tritter (DC Minyan, Washington D.C.) other was that we wa: would want to go to ~ Shifra Bronznick (Moderator): What prompted you to start an independent minyan> Beth Tritter (DC M Orthodox shul and t1 Elie Kaunfer (Kehilat Hadar): Hadar started in April of 2001.

  • Composer Biographies and Annotations
    The Composers — ROBERT APPLEBAUM (bobapplebaum.com) For many years, music was an abiding love but a professional sideline for Robert Applebaum, who taught physics and chemistry at New Trier High School, Winnetka, IL, from 1965 until his retirement in June 2000. He began composing choral music for the Jewish liturgy in 1980 and has written three Sabbath services, including one for choir and jazz trio. He has composed choral settings of many psalms as well as non-secular texts. Professional, community, and children’s choirs throughout the world have performed Applebaum’s music. Chicago a cappella included two of his Chanukah pieces on their 2002 recording Holidays Live and three of his settings of Shakespeare texts on their highly acclaimed 2005 Çedille release, Shall I Compare Thee? His setting of Im Ein Ani Li Mi Li is included on Chicago a cappella’s 2010 recording, Days of Awe and Rejoicing. As a jazz pianist/composer, he has three albums to his credit: Hora and Blue (Global Village, 1993) with the Modern Klezmer Quartet, The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree (jazz piano duos with his son Mark Applebaum (Innova, 2002), and Friday Night Jazz Service (2007). ROBERT APPLEBAUM on El Malei Rachamim “When Cantor Nancy Kassel contacted me with the assignment to set this prayer, my first re- sponse was ‘Thank you for giving me such a juicy text!’. Three images in this text resonated for me: A merciful and compassionate God, the wings of the Shechinah providing shelter and repose, and the binding of the souls of those who have died to Adonai, and by extension, to us, the living.

    Douglas Barbour Review Article Poetry Chronicle V: It's interesting how we've been told over and over again that somehow in the seventies all the promises of the sixties have been broken. We are asked to believe that the glories of art and religiosity and politics have all faded. Thus the marvelous sense of exploration and opening new doors in poetry must be a thing of the past and whatever is being written today, however well done, cannot possibly match the poetry of the sixties in terms of breaking new ground. But, surely, I reply, the new ground is always there to be broken and art comes from individual artists not decades? At any rate, the spiritual depression many peo­ ple seem to speak from in the seventies is not mine, and to my eye (even if most of the young writers lack the sense of language a whole generation in the sixties had) some extraordinarily exciting writing is taking place (admittedly, much of it from writers who began in the sixties-my point is that they have not died with the decade). Out of around forty books this time through, about five truly put me off, most are good, if not finally overwhelming, and a few are among the best books I've come across this decade. A search through previous 'chronicles' would reveal at least one, sometimes two or three, super books per year: that's a lot of really good poetry, no matter how you look at it. The world may indeed be falling apart but Canadian poetry is not.
