In many ways, the past Purim calls to mind the verse from Lamentations: Restore grounds Jewish identity, infusing Jewish life with context, us to You, O Lord, that we may be restored! Renew our purpose, and meaning. days as of old." Jewish memory is why Beth El gathers every year on Rabbi Schwartz explains the bizarrely worded phrase Purim to hear the words of Megillat Esther read aloud in "renew our days as of old" ("chadeish yameinu its entirety. Uniquely, Purim is the only Jewish holiday in k'kedem"): "We have a natural yearning for the past. We which the tradition explicitly commands Jews to listen to look back to happy moments in our life, like sitting next the story in full. to Zadie at Passover Seder, or eating Bubbie's matzah ball soup. These are moments that speak to our identity, "The Megillah is a story of secular, non-religious, our understanding of who we are and where we came unobservant Jews, who find themselves directly from." responsible for the fate of Jewish identity in their part of the diaspora," explained Rabbi Steve Schwartz. "The While it is natural to idealize the past, reflection in powerful message of Purim is that even if you're on the Judaism is more purposeful.

"When we renew ourselves, and our connection to Impressively, the ancient wisdom of the Purim story is Jewish identity, we recover a feeling of meaningfulness," directly applicable to modern Jewry. Reflecting on those Rabbi Schwartz said. "Remembering is not only a teachings demonstrates how the Jewish people use nostalgic indulgence but an exercise in using the past to memory as a tool. derive meaning from the present and to nourish us into the future." For this reason, Beth El chose "Back to the (57)80s" as the theme for this year's Purim Spiel. Specific themes surface when revisiting thePurim story, many of which have been echoed for decades in popular For those unfamiliar with the plot of Back to the Future culture. - perhaps the quintessential '80s movie - here's a quick synopsis: 1980s teenager Marty McFly is thrown back "The tension between free will and predestination drives into the 1950s when an experiment by his eccentric the plot of Back to the Future," Cantor Blatt observed. scientist friend, Doctor Emmett Brown, goes awry.

So too in Beth El's Purim spiel will the clergy travel back "In one sense, Esther was a pawn - the literal queen in time to Shushan, where they will interact with key on the figurative chessboard - placed by God in this characters from the Purim story, hoping to stave off the specific place, at this precise moment in Jewish history, destruction of the Persian Jews. specifically so she could save the Jewish people," Rabbi Schwartz said. "If (Back to the Future director) Robert Zemeckis had to choose a verse from the Torah that best captures the Or, as George McFly said to his future-wife in Back to the theme of his beloved movie, it would be Lamentations Future: "Lorainne, my density has brought me to you." 5:21," suggested Cantor Melanie Blatt. "The mitzvah of Of course, George meant destiny, but that awkward The Voice of Beth El Congregation bumbling is part of his charm: an unlikely figure thrust conundrum. In a world where there is an unspeakable into the pivot point of the narrative. Similarly, while God evil, where antisemitism runs rampant and historical predetermined that Esther would have a central role to bigotry has made Jews hated across generations, how play in the Purim story, she had to play it nevertheless. can the Jewish people live without hate in their hearts? "God predestined that Esther would be queen, but The answer is found not only in the Purim story but Esther had to make the hard choice to stand up and take also in the Passover narrative.

Upon his arrival in 1955, Marty takes action, because he is your brother. Do not hate an Egyptian, aggressively searching for answers. because you were a stranger in his land." "Accountability is another core theme to the Purim story," "To be free, you have to let go of hate," Rabbi Schwartz Rabbi Schwartz said. "Judaism will always tell you, at the encouraged.

Centuries later, Haman, a descendant of Agag, plotted the mass extermination of Persian Jews, All of this purposeful reflection left Rabbi Schwartz with only to be thwarted by Mordecai and Esther, themselves a closing thought: "Just as it was for Moses, King Saul, descendants of King Saul.

"The heavy.” Jewish people have conflicted with Amalek since the Exodus, through the Purim story, even to today. In every generation, there's the Amalekite, and there's the Israelite, and when they find each other, they'll be in conflict. It's through the act of memory that we glean meaning from these intergenerational conflicts and learn how to respond to them."

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: IN PRAISE OF BABBITTRY. SORT OF. SPATIAL PRACTICES IN SUBURBIA Kenneth Jackson’s Crabgrass Frontiers, one of the key histories of American suburbia, marshals a fascinating array of evidence from sociology, geography, real estate literature, union membership profiles, the popular press and census information to represent the American suburbs in terms of population density, home-ownership, and residential status. But even as it notes that “nothing over the years has succeeded in gluing this automobile-oriented civilization into any kind of cohesion – save that of individual routine,” Jackson’s comprehensive history under-analyzes one of its four key suburban traits – the journey-to-work.1 It is difficult to account for the paucity of engagements with suburban transportation and everyday experiences like commuting, even in excellent histories like Jackson’s. In 2005, the average American spent slightly more than twenty-five minutes per day commuting, a time investment that, over the course of a year, translates to more time commuting than he or she will likely spend on vacation.2 Highway-dependent suburban sprawl perpetually moves farther across the map in search of cheap available land, often moving away from both traditional central 1 In the introduction, Jackson describes journey-to-work’s place in suburbia with average travel time and distance in opposition to South America (home of siestas) and Europe, asserting that “an easier connection between work and residence is more valued and achieved in other cultures” (10). 2 One 2003 news report calculates the commuting-to-vacation ratio at 5-to-4: “Americans spend more than 100 hours commuting to work each year, according to American Community Survey (ACS) data released today by the U.S.

  • Understanding Bullying: a White Paper from Invictus Consulting, LLC
    Understanding Bullying: A White Paper from Invictus Consulting, LLC A Boston Globe film critic recently did a piece listing the top television and movie bullies that “we love to hate,” including Nelson Muntz (“The Simpsons”), Biff Tannen (“Back to the Future”), and Regina George (“Mean Girls”). Let’s not forget Draco Malfoy (“Harry Potter”), Gaston (“Beauty and the Beast”), and Javert (“Les Miserables”). The “Meanies of Life” piece, surely meant as pure entertainment and nothing more, stated that bullies are necessary to the human narrative. Get an attractive actor to play the part, maybe give them a catchy song to sing, end the story with the bully receiving their come-uppance, and you have a neat and comfortable portrayal of a bully. The reality of bullying in schools is vastly different from that seen on television and in movies, and real life victims of bullies would undoubtedly balk at the notion that bullies are necessary to the human narrative. Bullying in a serious threat that children, teens, and school teachers and administrators face these days. Although the news media sensationalizes the more dramatic instances of school bullying (e.g., school shootings), the fact is that other forms of aggression are much more prevalent in schools and may present a greater threat to the wellbeing of students. Definition of Bullying Youth violence is a substantial and complex societal problem. More youth die from homicide each year than all the other top seven causes of death combined (i.e., cancer, heart disease, birth defects, flu and pneumonia, respiratory diseases, stroke, and diabetes).
