5782 Calendar Jewish Life“ iMn the Baay yAre aY during th e L120i-Yвear H iUstoryn of Sinali M 1em2oria0l Ch” apel Compliments of Sinai Memorial Chapel Jewish Calendar for 5782 2021-2022 תשפ”ב Chevra Kadisha Architect’s 1916 rendering of the first location of the Hebrew Burial Association on Buchanan Street, which later became Sinai Memorial Chapel. L’shana Tovah and best wishes for a Happy New Year from the Board of Directors and Staff of Sinai sinai Memorial Chapel Chevra Kadisha . As appreciation for your support, enclosed is our 5782 Jewish calendar. In Jewish tradition, there is a blessing, “May you live until 120.” It comes from the Torah, which tells us that Moses died when he was 120 years old. It has become a blessing that Jews wish to each other, conveying the hope that everyone can live their life to the fullest as long as they live. MEMORIAL CHAPEL Chevra Kadisha Jewish organizations have interpreted this expression to consider their own 120th anniversaries as a special milestone, reminding the community of the “ripe old age” the organization has reached. As Sinai Memorial Chapel celebrates its own 120th anniversary this year, we chose to feature in this year’s calendar a highlight of Jewish life in the Bay Area for each of our 12 decades. As Jewish life in the Bay Area evolved, we are proud to have been there for our community at every step. This new calendar—and the new year—are also reminders to all of us to rededicate ourselves to new beginnings. Just as Rosh Hashanah and the sound of the shofar usher in the holiest time of the year, at SINAI we take this opportunity to rededicate ourselves to our holy work and to identify opportunities for tikkun , improvement, to better serve our entire Bay Area Jewish community. In the past year, we provided advance planning, funeral and burial services, and bereavement and grief counseling services to over 1,000 individuals and families. A continuing hallmark of SINAI is our commitment to providing to the entire community—regardless of means—the same dignity and quality of funeral service. Our members support the tzedakah and community-building activities of SINAI, one of the few community- owned, nonprofit Jewish funeral services nationwide. Your membership and donations help ensure that we never turn away any Jewish person because of means. Please consider becoming a member. If you would like more information about the work of SINAI, our range of services, the importance of membership, or the opportunity to make a legacy gift, please visit our website, www.sinaichapel.org. Again, I wish you a Happy New Year and thank you for your continuing support. Sincerely, Samuel J. Salkin Executive Director [email protected] www.sinaichapel.org 1900-1909 Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free In 1901, the year Sinai Memorial Chapel was founded, the U.S. was in the midst of a major influx of Eastern European Jews. Between 1881 and 1924, more than 2.5 million East European Jews arrived, propelled by anti-Semitism and poverty in their home countries and the opportunities that America offered. While many settled in New York, there was a sizeable community in San Francisco centered in the South of Market neighborhood before moving to the Fillmore district after the 1906 earthquake. This second wave of Jewish immigrants—Yiddish- speaking, Orthodox, less educated, politically radical and socialist, and mostly poor—was very different from the earlier wave of mostly German and Central European immigrants, who were less religious and better educated. The new immigrants had a profound impact on Jewish life in San Francisco. They led a resurgence of Orthodox Judaism, were activists in labor issues, had a strong sense of Jewish nationalism, and kept the Yiddish language alive through plays and books. sinai 1501 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, CA 94115 415.921.3636 FD 262 SEPTEMBER 3415 Mt.

Many local Jews were against the war. They were afraid that it would threaten the success of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which was meant to attract industry and tourism and whose board included many prominent Jews. Jews with German heritage—second-generation immigrants who were a powerful group in The City—were not at that time strongly opposed to Germany. Further undermining a unified Jewish response to the war were the strong anti-Russian sentiments felt by Jewish immigrants who had fled Russia—an ally of the U.S.—because of anti-Semitism. Finally, there was division among San Franciscan Jews about the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine after the war ended. Zionism seemed antithetical to the assimilation sought by many second- generation immigrants. In the end, local Jews did support the war effort, primarily by helping Jews in Europe affected by the war, while remaining divided on the creation of a separate Jewish homeland. sinai 1501 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, CA 94115 415.921.3636 FD 262 OCTOBER 3415 Mt.

The Fillmore: 1920-1929 A Thriving Jewish Neighborhood By the 1920s, the Fillmore neighbor - hood—in the area now known as the Western Addition—was a thriving, multi-ethnic neighborhood. Many Eastern European and Russian Jews moved there from South of Market after that part of town was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. They joined many others, including Japanese, Ital - ian, Filipino, and African American resi - dents, who also flocked to the Fillmore. Until WWII the Fillmore had a rich Jewish life. The streets were filled with Jewish-owned shops, cultural institu - tions, bakeries, markets, and restau - rants. Stores were open late at the end of Shabbat days and attracted Jews from all over The City. And the streets were lined with movie theaters and other places for entertainment. Yiddish was spoken by many of the residents, and there were Yiddish theater troupes and a weekly Yiddish newspaper. The Fillmore had a Hebrew school as well as three synagogues: Congrega - tions Keneseth Israel and Anshey Sfard drew mostly Orthodox Jews, and Beth Israel had a more liberal congregation. Little remains of those times. None of the synagogue buildings survive, and only a few markers show where Jewish businesses once stood.

  • PARASHAT SHEMINI the Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals
    PARASHAT SHEMINI The Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals Prohibited for Consumption By Rav Amnon Bazak A. The Problem In the aftermath of the tragic death of Nadav and Avihu, the Torah suddenly interrupts the narrative with a command highlighting an additional function of the kohanim: And to distinguish between the holy and the profane, and between the impure and the pure; and to instruct Bnei Yisrael concerning all of the statutes which God spoke to them at the hand of Moshe. (10:10-11) These verses set forth the framework for the chapters that follow in chiastic order. First, the Torah discusses the differences between the impure and the pure, in terms of the types of animals that may be eaten and those that may not (chapter 11), and the various types of impurity and purity (Parashot Acharei Mot, Tazri'a, and Metzora); thereafter, it addresses the differences between the holy and the profane (Parashot Kedoshim andEmor). What do these categories and the differentiation between them have to do with the sin of Nadav and Avihu? Why are the kohanim given the new job of differentiating between the holy and profane and between the impure and the pure specifically here, in the midst of the events of the "eighth day"? In order to answer this question, let us examine the animals forbidden as food as listed in chapter 11. We will find two groups of prohibitions in this chapter, and we will discuss the connection between them and the story of the death of Nadav and Avihu.

  • The Land of Israel's Loyalty to the Jewish People
    The Land of Israel’s Loyalty to the Jewish People by Rabbi Chaim Jachter As Parashat Behukotai and the book of Vayikra draw to a close, Hashem delivers a stinging rebuke and warning to our people. This rebuke, known as the Tochahah is the first of two such rebukes in the Humash (the second being towards the end of Sefer Devarim). This section contains a series of frighteningly prophetic descriptions of the tragedies that will befall the nation should they fail to follow God’s ways. Indeed, so frightening is this Tochachah that Torah is read this section in a lower voice. There are even some synagogues where the rabbi or Torah reader is called for the Aliyah that contains the Tochachah, as some would rather avoid being called for this Aliyah. In the midst of the very dark cloud of these warnings of punishment and exile in Parashat Behukotai we find a silver lining. The Torah promises (Vayikra 26:32) that after our people will be exiled from our land, our enemies will fail in their endeavors to settle the land. Ramban, writing in the twelfth century, notes that this is an extraordinary promise to us as there is no other place on earth that at one time was settled, lush and fertile but is now utterly desolate and destroyed. He observes that this promise has most obviously been fulfilled in that from the time we left our land, it has not accepted any other nation, despite their many efforts to develop the land. Indeed, the Romans, Arabs, Crusaders and Ottomans failed miserably in their efforts to settle the land of Israel.

He earned his PhD from Union Theological Seminary. Dr. Cockerill has served with his wife, Rosa, for nine years as a missionary in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Dr. Cockerill has written numerous articles and book reviews for such journals as Tyndale Bulletin, Bulletin for Biblical Research, Journal of Biblical Literature, The Evangelical Quarterly, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Interpretation, and Missiology. He is also the author of The Epistle to the Hebrews (NICNT, Eerdmans, 2012) and A Guidebook for Pilgrims to the Heavenly City (William Carey, 2013). Introduction “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land” (Gen 12:7a). With these words God brought his promises to a climax. He had already promised to bless Abraham, to make him a great nation, and to bless the world through him (Gen 12:2-3). The land would be the place that gave concrete shape to fulfillment. These promises to Abraham address the degenerate state of the human race depicted in Genesis 1-11. Through distrust and disobedience Adam and Eve have usurped God’s lordship over their lives and thus forfeited the divine presence, disrupted the harmony of human community derived from that presence, and suffered exile from Eden the place of blessing.
