    Yom Kippur Chavurah Service September 23, 2015 Written by Abigail Backer Characters: Truth - Marci Justice - Bekki Peace - Kathy Judge/Rabbi - Rabbi London Narrator/Counsel - Abby Musician/Juke Box - Cantor Friedman Setting: This skit is written to be a ‘trial’ of sorts. Truth, justice, and peace are the ‘defendants’ and there is a judge/rabbi. The trial is mediated by a narrator/counsel who provides context and asks questions to each of the defendants. Rabbi London will sit in chair next to white table. Truth, justice and peace will stand off to the side. Counsel will enter via the ramp. Materials/Props: Gavel Costumes Signs that say “Truth” “Justice” and “Peace” in Hebrew/English ******************************************************************************************************** Musician/Juke Box: All rise for the Honorable Judge Rabbi Andrea London (plays interlude) Judge/Rabbi: Order! I call this Beit Din, this Rabbinic Court, to order!! Today we will be hearing the case of the Jewish People versus Truth, Justice, and Peace. Counsel, please approach the bench and present the defendants and the facts of the case. We don’t have all day! Narrator/Counsel: (enters hurriedly on ramp) Yes, your Honor. Thank you, your Honor. The premise of this case is simple: Rabban Shimon Ben Gamliel said, “The world is sustained by three things, by justice, by truth, and by peace. As it has been stated: Speak every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. (Zechariah 8:16) Your Honor, we live in a litigious society that requires greater distinctions and hierarchy than ever before. The Jewish people are bringing truth, justice and peace before the court to determine which among them is the most essential, the most valuable, the most pure.

  • The Rosh Chodesh Planner Was Designed to Serve As a Resource for Shluchos When Planning Women's Programs. Many Years Ago, When
    בס"ד PREFACE The Rosh Chodesh Planner was designed to serve as a resource for shluchos when planning women’s programs. Many years ago, when one of the first shluchim arrived in Pittsburgh, PA, prepared to combat the assimilation of America through hafotzas hamayonos, one of the directives of the Rebbe to the shlucha was that it did not suffice for her to only become involved in her husband’s endeavors, but that she should become involved in her own areas of activities as well. Throughout the years of his nesiyus, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Nesi Dorenu, appreciated and valued the influential role the woman plays as the akeres habayis. This is evident in the many sichos which the Rebbe dedicated specifically to Jewish women and girls worldwide. Involved women are catalysts for involved families and involved communities. Shluchos, therefore, have always dedicated themselves towards reaching a broad spectrum of Jewish women from many affiliations, professions and interests. Programs become educational vehicles, provide networking and outreach opportunities for the participants, and draw them closer in their unified quest for a better and more meaningful tomorrow. Many shluchos have incorporated a schedule of gathering on a monthly basis. Brochures are mailed out at the onset of the year containing the year’s schedule at a glance. Any major event(s) are incorporated as well. This system offers the community an organized and well-planned view of the year’s events. It lets them know what to expect and gives them the ability to plan ahead. In the z’chus of all the positive accomplishments that have been and are continuously generated from women’s programs, may we be worthy of the immediate and complete Geulah.

  • REVIEWS September/October 2013 Volume III, No
    Association of Jewish Libraries REVIEWS September/October 2013 Volume III, No. 3 In The Spotlight Levine, Karen. Hana’s Suitcase: Anniversary Album. (Holocaust Remembrance series). Toronto: Second Story Press, 2012. 174 pp. $24.99. (9781926920368). Ages 9 and up. Hana’s Suitcase received unanimous approval from the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee in 2002. When the award was presented to Karen Levine at the AJL Conference in Toronto the following year, AJL members had the added privilege of hearing from Hana’s brother George; the event brought tears to most attendee’s eyes. Ten years (and over thirty printings) later, an expanded version of the book has been re-issued. The original text is still here. It includes Hana’s life in Moravia, her fate during the Shoah, her life in Terezin, and her death at the age of thirteen at Auschwitz. Alternating with Hana’s biography, the book tells of her rediscovery by Fumiko Ishioka, director of the Tokyo Holocaust Center and its Children’s Section. The original story ends with the arrival of George Brady, Hana’s brother, and his welcome to the Tokyo museum. Following the 2004 Afterword, the Anniversary Album contains 65 pages of additional material. It includes new statements by Karen Levine, Fumiko Ishioka and George Brady; memories by survivors who knew Hana and George as children; covers of 34 international editions; information about the documentary movie and play based on Hana’s life; and a wealth of photos, stories, and poems by children (primarily in Canada but also in the U.S.) who have been moved by the book.
