The Voice of Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid January JANUARY 2020 TEVET - 5780 715 Paxon Hollow Road Shofar Broomall, PA 19008 610-356-8700 THE VOICE OF [email protected] Website: www.cbent.org CONGREGATION BETH EL – NER TAMID A Community Supporting Family, Spirituality, Tradition and Lifelong Learning JANUARY HAFTARAH READERS January 11, 10:30am Creative Learning Shabbat Jan 4 Amy Blum January 17, Men’s Club Shabbat, 6:15pm Jan 11 Aron Freidenreich Saturday, February 8, 7:00pm Jan 18 Brad Miller Rob & Andy Present: Jan 25 Cantor Steve UNDER THE BIG TOP Rabbi Barry Blum New Resolution for the New Year 2020 Many of us will usher in the New Year watching the ball drop at Time Square. There will be parties, family gatherings, and joy. Many of us will watch the Philadelphia classic, the Mummer’s Parade. Some of us will spend time watching the football Bowl games. The secular New Year rarely touches an emotional cord in our heart. Our Jewish Neshamah may cause us to reflect upon the events of the past year. We may even remember loved ones who touched our lives. May we discover new opportunities to enrich our life. Let us be more mindful that we can help others in need. May our Judaic resolutions speak to us about strengthening our Synagogue. Maybe we can attend Minyan or Shabbat Services by appreciating the power of Jewish tradition. Both our Friday Evening Services and Shabbat Services include more English readings and explanations. Learn a little Torah, perform a Mitzvah, and give Tzedakah. There is a sense of spirituality when one sees our sanctuary filled with congregants. A couple of new resolutions can make a difference in 2020. Wishing you all a Happy healthy New Year! Rabbi Blum PRESIDENT Thank you to all who expressed their sympathy during the difficult time of my sister’s death. A week that started with great joy at the birth of our granddaughter ended in such sorrow, but knowing that my CBENT community was with me throughout meant so much to me. Sometimes life’s challenges can be daunting, but facing them head on, and experiencing the joy, pain or sorrow that they bring, we come closer to being the person we are supposed to be. Life certainly is a complicated and mysterious journey. In an effort to understand this journey, Rabbi Blum and I will be holding another session of “Services Made Simple,” an explanation of the parts of Shabbat services, finding spirituality in the prayers and songs, and the opportunity to ask all those questions you have been wondering about! No question is too “stupid”!! Do we need to kiss a Kippah or a Prayer Book if it falls on the floor? Why do we touch the Torah with a prayer book or Tallis and not our fingers? Who is allowed to read from the Torah? Why do we recite the Amidah twice? Why do we go up on our toes when we say “Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh?” Why do we bow when we do? What is the meaning of the Alenu? All this and more! Please join us on Saturday, January 11 at 10:30 in the Temple Israel room and join our lively discussion. Everyone is welcome! Hope to see you there! B’shalom, Amy We Shall Overcome! It is not my usual practice to write about a non-Jewish person or subject. But I was compelled to do so this month. For in this calendar month of January, the most important Jewish holiday just happens to be the celebration of the birth and life of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King was born January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, GA. This made him a contemporary of my parents. Yet as a Christian minister, he would have a profound impact on my own life. His ministry led him to become the most visible spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. Those years happened to coincide with my youth. As such, Dr. King’s speeches and actions were a major influence upon me, especially in understanding that his fight for equal rights for African Americans was so closely related to my own Jewish history of persecution. In a very real sense, Dr. King was a modern day Moses. He took on the ‘Pharaohs’ who kept his people from enjoying the rights to life, liberty and happiness that should have been guaranteed to all American citizens. “I have been to the mountaintop,’ he proclaimed. And like Moses, he Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. would lead his people to freedom with marches and rallies from Montgomery, Alabama in the 1950s, to Washington, D.C. in the 1960s. His untiring work was without question the major impact that led to the Civil Rights legislation of 1965. Dr. King was also a great friend with many prominent Jewish leaders of that time. Many rabbis would stand with him in his quest for equality for his people. Most influential was that great scholar and Holocaust surviver, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who would march alongside Reverend King in Montgomery. Dozens more rabbis would stand alongside Dr. King during his march on Washington. Dr. King was also a supporter of Israel and the Jewish people. “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews; they are talking Anti-Semitism.” I was a teenager when Dr. King was assassinated in 1968, just a few months before the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, another great man who fought for civil rights for all Americans. Their lives and their deaths had a great impact on my own life choices. My generation (yes, I am a Boomer) had great hopes that American liberties, and the prosperity it generated, would enlighten the world. Sadly, new Pharaohs would emerge who sought, and who still seek to take what they can for their own benefit, without care to the harm they do to others. Indeed, the cruelties we witness today seem worse in many cases than the brutalities of the last century. The celebration of Dr. King’s life and legacy this month is a reminder, as it is every year, that the fight for civil rights and equality is not over. As Jews, with our ages-long history of persecution, we must stand alongside all people who would be marginalized or dehumanized because of their religion, race, gender, or circumstances of birth. We are fortunate today that we can live freely as Jews in America. But we must fight for the rights of all human beings. If we don’t, then one day we may become enslaved once again. My most endearing memory of Dr. King was the song that he and his fellow marchers would sing together at their protests and rallies: We shall overcome, we shall overcome, we shall overcome some day, Oh, deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome some day. We’ll walk hand in hand…. We shall live in peace…. We are not afraid… Oh, deep in my heart I do believe that we shall overcome some day. Cantor Steve Believe it or not - 2020 is here and CBENT Sisterhood is moving right along continuing fund raising for our synagogue as well as supporting IDF soldiers with warm, hand made hats, supplying Bat Melech Domestic Abuse Shelter in Israel with items for both mothers and children, and supporting the Domestic Abuse Program in Media. Cecillia Jenkins, Director of Development from the Media Shelter came to CBENT for our knitted hats, blankets and shawls as well as donations from the generosity of our non-knitters. Cecillia was thrilled at all the additional items generously donated by our non-knitters, socks, coloring books and crayons, shampoo and conditioners, and much more. We will be supporting the shelter again in time for Mother’s Day. In the meantime, if you have any items NOT being donated for our Bid n Buy, Nana’s attic also supports the shelter. Many thanks to Ellen Glassman and Boutique W for a fun evening of shopping and delicious snacks. Remember to support Boutique W for all your special clothing and gift needs.

We have a special guest speaker, the new Chief of Marple Police, Bradon Graeff.

Tzadik is also the root of the word tzedakah ('charity', literally 'righteousness'). The term tzadik "righteous", and its associated meanings, developed in Rabbinic thought from its Talmudic contrast with hasid ("pious" honorific), to its exploration in Ethical literature, and its esoteric spiritualisation in Kabbalah. Since the late 17th century, in Hasidic Judaism, the institution of the mystical tzadik as a divine channel assumed central importance, combining popularization of (hands- on) Jewish mysticism with social movement for the first time.[1] Adapting former Kabbalistic theosophical terminology, Hasidic thought internalised mystical Joseph interprets Pharaoh's Dream experience, emphasising deveikut attachment to its Rebbe leadership, who embody (Genesis 41:15–41).

Confronting allosemitism in Europe : the case of Belgian Jews / by Eliezer Ben-Rafael. pages cm. — (Jewish identities in a changing world, ISSN 1570-7997 ; volume 21) Includes bibliographical references. Summary: “Only a few decades after the Holocaust, Belgian Jews, like most European Jewries, are under the attack of forces stemming from a variety of sources. How do they confront and stand these new hardships? Research done all over Europe from 2012 through 2013 tried to answer this question. Among the cases investigated, the Belgian Jewry is one of the most interesting. It is both versatile and representative, revealing essential components of the general experience of European Jews today. Conceptual considerations pave the way to the study of their plight that has been, by any criterion, anything but “usual”. Belgian Jews, it appears, are “like” many other Jewries in Europe but “a little more”. They highlight the question: is allosemitism at all surmountable?”—Provided by publisher.
