His better known book is When Bad Things Happen to Good People, and it’s an important book as well, but To Life is a gem that too many people have never seen. Its subtitle could easily be “What’s So Great About Being Jewish.” It’s not a “how to” be Jewish book, but rather, a “why be Jewish” book. I am sharing the introduction to the book with you in the hopes that you will be inspired to find it for yourself and read the whole thing. To life—these two words represent so much of what Judaism is about. They suggest first that Judaism is about how to live, not just what to believe. They convey an optimistic attitude toward life, investing our energy in living rather than in worrying about dying, asking us to enjoy the pleasures of this life rather than noticing all the things that are wrong with it, emphasizing life in this world rather than pining our hopes on finding satisfaction in some world to come. Does any other people celebrate the special moments of life, the births and birthdays and wed- dings, with as much food, as much laughter and as many tears, as Jews do? This book offers you an introduction to the forms and customs, the joys and consolations of Judaism. It can be the door to life. Then the first chapter is entitled “Life is the Question, Judaism is the Answer.” I was blessed to have Rabbi Kushner “install” me as the rabbi in Cranston, Rhode Island, the pulpit I served before I arrived in Oakland. I didn’t even know him at the time, but another rabbi, Rabbi Brian Fox of Australia, set it up. It was a true honor for which I am eternally grate- ful for the words he shared that day. But I am even more grateful for the words he shared with the rest of the world in this book. The theme of the Omer is “To Life,” and it is also one of the central tenets of Judaism. That is the essence of the Torah on one foot. All the rest is commentary. Now go read Kushner’s book and learn. Thank you Mazel Tov to The Shaffer family wishes to MISIA NUDLER thank Rabbi Bloom, Cantor Kaplan who will be honored and Rabbi Jerry Danzig for their com- forting and beautiful service, burial by the and shiva in Sid’s memory. The telephone calls, cards and State of California donations from the congregation at our Shabbat Service are much appreciated. September 6, 2014. -- Ethel, Harris, David, and Mary Shira 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE L’Chaim – How a Recent Experience with Death Reminded Me of the Miracle of Life by Mark Fickes Over the summer, my dear friend Caroline died after a year-long battle with stage four ovarian cancer. I knew the odds were against her from the start, but after an initial positive response to chemo therapy and what was thought to be a successful surgery, I ignored the odds and prayed for a miracle.

We are interested in possibly Semitic etyma. Among 156 the other things, we consider controversies not just concerning individual etymologies, but also concerning approaches.

Contact: [email protected] Kreplach Kayos Covid A Short Story by Marleen S. Barr Professor Sondra Lear, a feminist science fiction scholar par excellence, no longer loved living in the Empire State Building’s shadow. Although Sondra thought that science fiction texts were nice respectable places to visit, she absolutely did not want to live in one. She wished that the Empire State could strike back faster against the corona virus. Quarantining in a city reduced to a mere shadow of its former self was wearing thin. Perusing the New York Times and listening to Governor Cuomo’s press briefings now qualified as being a full day’s work. When Cuomo ended his remarks by as usual mentioning “New York toughness,” Sondra began to nap on her sofa. The sound of something going bump in the afternoon roused her from her boredom-induced torpor. She half-heartedly opened one eye and gazed directly at a familiar figure floating below her ceiling fan. Upon immediately recognizing the dark-suited man hovering above, she stared at him with two eyes wide open. Even though she was a science fiction scholar and, hence, used to the unreal, Sondra failed to believe that Governor Cuomo could at once be sitting at his briefing and levitating in her apartment.

Without each of your willingness to invite me into your homes and share your stories, this thesis would not have been possible. Kaja, I thank you especially for your continued support and guidance. Next, I want to give a shout-out to my family and friends, especially my fellow thesis writers, who listened to me talk about my thesis constantly and without a doubt saw the bulk of my negative stress reactions. Thank you all for being such a great support system. It is my hope that at least one of you will read this- here’s looking at you, Mom. Third, I would like to thank Professor Waterhouse for sticking with me throughout this entire process. I could not have done this without your constant kind words and encouragement (though I could have done without your negative commentary about Billy Joel). Thank you for making this possible. Finally, I extend the largest thank you to my wonderful thesis advisors, Professor Karen Auerbach and Professor Chad Bryant.

  • Jewish-Arab Encounters in a Middle Eastern Restaurant in Toronto
    Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 26, 2018 75 Dina Roginsky and Rina Cohen Trading Jerusalem: Jewish-Arab Encounters in a Middle Eastern Restaurant in Toronto Dina Roginsky and Rina Cohen / Trading Jerusalem: 76 Jewish-Arab Encounters in a Middle Eastern Restaurant in Toronto This ethnographic study explores everyday encounters between Jewish Israeli immi- grants, Palestinian Arab immigrants, and Canadian Jews in Jerusalem Restau- rant, a Middle Eastern dining establishment in Toronto. The article reveals the ways in which these three subgroups relate to each other economically and culturally in the context of a diasporic food business that bases its appeal on the symbolism of Jerusa- lem. Through the practices and relationships observed in this restaurant, we suggest that these subgroups create a practical foodway community, while each subgroup associates with the notion of Jerusalem in its own distinctive way. Cette étude ethnographique analyse les interactions quotidiennes entre immigrants israéliens juifs, immigrants palestiniens arabes et Juifs canadiens dans le Jerusalem Restaurant, un restaurant de cuisine moyen-orientale de Toronto. L’article met au jour comment ces trois sous-groupes interagissent économiquement et cultu- rellement dans le contexte d’un commerce alimentaire diasporique qui se construit autour du symbolisme de Jérusalem. Les pratiques et les relations observées dans ce restaurant nous permettent d’avancer que ces différents sous-groupes forment une communauté de pratiques alimentaires tout en ayant, chacun, des liens spécifiques et distinctifs avec la notion de Jérusalem. Outside Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Jews and Arabs rarely share physical spaces. In North America, Jews and Arabs live primarily in separate residential areas and, for the most part, rarely do these discrete social communities cross paths.

This is our longest one to date, at 53 pages, and it would not have been possible without the efforts and diligence of all the authors. Special kudos to my husband Ed, who spent a large amount of time on photo preparation work. This was by far the greatest number of pictures we have featured in an issue, and I appreciate his willingness to go the extra mile for OCAW.
