    The Shofar Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids 2727 Michigan NE Grand Rapids, MI 49506-1240

    Volume 17, Number 6 March 2012 Federation News Executive Director’s Letter S.ORG Dear Friends, The Jewish Cultural Council’s speaker last month, Professor Reuven Hazan of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, delivered to our community a thought provoking speech about the Israeli perspective on the Middle East conflict. Of note, his discussion of the “hawks and doves” in Israel brought a number of nods from those who attended, including from both local hawks and doves. I’d like to share some of my recollections of Professor Hazan’s talk along with some reflections about democracy in Israel. Professor Hazan’s choice of “hawks and doves” proved effective in framing the discussion. A central theme was the steady movement by the hawks toward the dovish position, from Menachem Begin relinquishing the Sinai to Yitzhak Shamir sitting down FEBRUARY 2012 with the PLO; from Benjamin Netanyahu agreeing to a two-state solution to Ariel ADAR/NISSAN 5772 Sharon unilaterally withdrawing from Gaza. These ‘Nixon goes to China’ moments for the Israeli hawks make it clear there is a desire across the political spectrum in Israel for reaching a secure peace with their Arab neighbors. WWW.JEWISHGRANDRAPID While this history has brought Israel’s hawks and doves closer, Professor Hazan contended, uncertainty remains about what the future will bring. The split of Likud into a more hawkish Likud and moderate Kadima parties a few years ago was significant in Israel’s politics. He noted this split makes the willingness of the hawks to move once again toward the dovish side more difficult.
  • Remembering the Fallen

    Remembering the Fallen

    Remembering the fallen As the world celebrates the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London, I wonder how many will remember that it is also the 40th anniversary of the Munich Massacre. If this was before your time, at the Munich Games in 1972, Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 members of the Israeli Olympic Team. On September 5, 1972, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Olympic Village. They immediately killed two and nine were taken hostage. Efforts to rescue the hostages failed and they were eventually killed. The Olympic Games are a great time to remember that countries can usually put aside their differences and come together for a few weeks on the world’s grandest stage. And while we all have our favorite athletes and sports, I would like to believe most of us enjoy seeing the world come together, sending its best athletes to compete. But as we talk about the history of the Olympics, most don’t talk about the tragedy of the Munich Games. I know what you’re thinking, “Why should we remember something so sad?” It’s simple. We remember because that’s how we heal. Each time there is a tragedy of large proportions, such as the recent shooting in Aurora, Colorado, the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, etc., we take a moment to remember those who were lost and those still affected by such tragedies. Remembering the fallen of the Munich Games is no different. With that, I would like to thank Rabbi Ruth Abusch-Magder (on Twitter as @RabbiRuth http://twitter.com/RabbiRuth) for bringing this to my attention and calling for a two-minute moment of silence (turn off your TV if you like) during the Opening Ceremonies.

    Zionism Zine

    zionism zine “...you envisage the shadow of a distant dream you shared with your comrades, a dream of a far-off land, of Eretz Israel and its life of friendship and work, human dignity and pride.” ~In The Days of Destruction and Revolt, Zivia Lubetkin i’ve never wanted to kiss the ground so much as the things that grow out of the ground the trees the plants the weeds the delicate kumquats josh and tzivia combed them from the trees kept them in a bag offered me to bite through the narrow orange skin speckled like a golf ball it is the skin that’s sweet, i’m told not the fruit they’re unbearable sour the size of a grape and I can’t get through it fruit is stronger in eretz yisrael branches reach out to touch my face I want to kiss each leaf let the wood leave its mark on me in the chaparral I feel compelled. - erica kushner garin tzur mazkirol tnua 5781 This zine was created by members of Habonim Dror, a Progressive Labor Zionist youth movement. Zionism is many things for us—a source of inspiration, a historical legacy, a vision for a just society, an answer to antisemitism, a connection point with Jews around the world. Zionism is a deep idea, but sometimes it is sharp and bright. It seizes us with both hands, reaching up out of the pages of our own journals and shaking us by the shoulders: Wake up! Zionism is a wide river, with many different people living on its shores, floating their dreams and their sorrows downstream on rafts of every possible design.

    The Great Disasters Podcast Is Written, Researched and Produced by Kari Fay

    The Munich Olympics Massacre It was meant to be a coming together of nations, in peace, to celebrate sporting excellence. For the athletes attending, it was the pinnacle of their achievements, a moment to be proud of. For some, it held even more meaning. It was the first OIympic Games to be held in Germany since 1936, when it had been under the auspices of the Nazi regime. Now, stepping into the arena, an Israeli team held their flag high. Eleven of them would not return alive. I’m Kari Fay, and this is Great Disasters. The theme of the 1972 Summer Olympics was an optimistic one; the official motto was “Glückliche Spiele” or The Happy Games, and the logo was a bright blue sun. The West German government was keen to present their new democratic Germany well, and the Olympics seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so. In contrast to the militaristic 1936 Games, which were festooned with swastikas and presided over by Hitler himself, these would be bright, open and carefree. Their security personnel would be discreet, and they would subtly deal with drunkenness or ticket fraud, without disrupting the joyous atmosphere. When they were dispatched to deal with a congregation of Maoist supporters in the Olympic Park, they dispersed the crowd by giving them candy. They allowed people to come and go somewhat freely; athletes later reported that it was easy for anybody to walk into the Olympic Village, so long as they were dressed like athletes. The athletes themselves took liberties with security arrangements, often scaling the fences around the village rather than walk the long way around to the gates.

    March 26, 2019 the Honorable James E. Risch Chair Senate Committee

    March 26, 2019 The Honorable James E. Risch Chair Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Robert Menendez Ranking Member Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Risch and Ranking Member Menendez, On behalf of the 19 undersigned national Jewish organizations and institutions, we write to express our strong opposition to the re-nomination of Ronald Mortensen as assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. We urge you to reject his nomination. As Jews, we understand the reality of fleeing violence and oppression as immigrants and refugees. We believe that the United States is a nation of immigrants and how we treat the stranger reflects on the moral values and ideals of this nation, as well as our specific Jewish values. Mortensen is currently a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies (“CIS”), an extreme anti-immigrant group founded in 1985 with the help of John Tanton, a racist and architect of the modern anti- immigrant movement with a history of promoting “passive” eugenics. CIS publishes reports and articles, including by Mortensen, promoting the idea that immigration has a detrimental impact on American society. CIS also has disturbing ties to racists, circulating articles penned by white nationalists. Mortensen’s role at CIS should alone be disqualifying, but he also has a long and disturbing track record of hostile and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. He has criticized Dreamers and accused undocumented immigrants of “destroying the lives of American men, women, and children.” He has criticized efforts at reforming the country’s immigration system, and perpetuated the harmful stereotype and myth that immigrants are linked with higher crime rates.
