Yizkor Memorial Service YIZKOR MEMORIAL SERVICE 5781 East Brunswick Jewish Center 5781 – 2020/21 Rabbi Jeff Pivo Cantor Larry Brandspiegel Synagogue Co-President Robert Salston Synagogue Co-President Steve Zeidwerg Executive Vice President Joannie Weinfeld Vice Presidents Joe Behrman Rhoda Cohen Jack Goldberg Shirley Sommers Jamie Wasserman Treasurer Neil Kosher Financial Secretary Phil Folz Corresponding Secretary Marna Erlich Recording Secretary Carol Landa Trustees Hayley Migdal Dov Pollak Philip Schiffman Members at Large Steve Bellows Ron Berger Lloyd Shepetin Dates that Yizkor will be recited in 5781: Monday Sept. 28, 2020 - Yom Kippur Saturday Oct. 10, 2020 - Shemini Atzeret Sunday April 4, 2021 - Pesach Tuesday May 18, 2021 - Shavuot From the editors… At this time of year many of us observe the custom of visiting the graves of our loved ones and recite written prayers and the prayers that are in our hearts. We open our hearts and ask their forgiveness for some small incident that may be etched in our memories. Though it may be incidental, and the person may not have even been aware of it, it gnaws at us, and we plead for forgiveness and we feel better admitting truths to ourselves and righting ourselves emotionally. We seek advice from our loved ones for difficult problems and though they physically cannot speak to us we know how they thought and what is right to do in any given situation. Yom Kippur and the Yizkor prayer is the time when we pray to God and ask forgiveness for straying from the path of Torah. It is the time when we pledge to do better both personally and spiritually. The year 5780 has not been a good one. For the better part of the year and going into the New Year we are all dealing with the effects of Covid-19. Many families in our community and in the larger Jewish community have suffered the loss of a loved one. Many families have been adversely affected emotionally, psychologically and economically. We pray that our Father in Heaven show us mercy and lift this plague from our lives as well as to quell the rising Anti- Semitism. This year marks 1950 years since the destruction of the 2nd Temple. It was the single greatest calamity that has ever befallen our people as it set in motion the wandering of the Jewish people ever since. However, the recent events of peace with two of our Arab neighbors, The UAE and Bahrain, gives us hope in a greater peace for our homeland and for us. This year also marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. In this Yizkor Book we remember those who have fallen in the task of defending our brothers and sisters in Israel and around the world. They are truly among the righteous of our people. We pray that no more will fall in their duty and service to Israel and the Jewish People. We also list those civilian Jews and some non-Jews who have been murdered by terrorists in Israel and around the world. We also should not forget to remember those Jews who fought for the United States of America, our home in the diaspora, in the fight against those dictators and regimes of tyranny who would deny freedom to all citizens of the world who did not worship, or think as they demanded. Their task was no less holy or righteous. The editors would like to thank the office staff for their help as well as Larry Solomon. We wish you all a L’Shana Tova and G’mar Hatima Tov. May God answer all of our prayers and the prayers of our loved ones. May the names of those recalled here be for a blessing for us all and may God bring peace to the Land of Israel. Marty Genee Maureen Richardson Raymond Sasson z”l Jack Silverman PJ Smith Co-Editor Co-Editor Co-Editor, Emeritus Co-Editor Co-Editor Memorial Service for the Departed .. There is a time for everything; there is a time for all things under the sun: a time to be born and a time to die a time to laugh and a time to cry a time to dance and time to mourn a time to seek and a time to lose a time to forget and a time to remember. This day in sacred convocation we remember those who gave us life. This day we remember those who enriched our life with love and with beauty, with kindness and compassion, with thoughtfulness and understanding. This day we renew the bonds that bind us to those who have gone the way of all the earth. As we reflect upon those whose memory moves us this day, we seek consolation, and the strength and the insight born of faith. Tender as a father with his children, The Lord is merciful with His worshipers. He knows how we are fashioned; He remembers that we are dust. The days of man are as grass; he flourishes as a flower in the field. The wind passes over it and it is gone, and no one can recognize where it grew. But the Lord’s compassion for His worshipers, His righteousness to children’s children, remain, age after age, unchanging. Three score and ten our years may number, Four score years if granted the vigor. Laden with trouble and travail, life quickly passes, it flies away. Teach us to use all of our days, O Lord, that we may attain a heart of wisdom. Grant us of Your love in the morning, that we may joyously sing all our days. . When I stray from You, O Lord, my life is as death; but when I cleave to You, even in death I have life. You embrace the souls of the living and the dead. The earth inherits that which perishes. But only the dust returns to dust; the soul, which is God’s, is immortal. The Lord has compassion for His creatures. He has planted eternity within our soul, granting us a share in His unending life. He redeems our life from the grave. During our brief life on earth He gives us choices. We can cherish hopes, embrace values and perform deeds which death cannot destroy. May we all be charitable in deed and in thought, in memory of those we love who walk the earth no longer. May we live unselfishly in truth and love and peace, so that we will be remembered as a blessing, as we this day lovingly remember those whose lives endure as a blessing. Our generations are bound to each other as children now remember their parents. Love is strong as death as husbands and wives now remember their mates, as parents now remember their children. Memory conquers death’s dominion as we now remember our brothers and sisters, grandparents and other relatives and friends. The death of those we now remember left gaping holes in our lives. But we are grateful for the gift of their lives. And we are strengthened by the blessings which they left us, by precious memories which comfort and sustain us as we recall them this day. Each congregant reads silently the appropriate passages among those which follow. Personal meditations may also be added. We rise. In memory of a father (insert name) . ..... May God remember the soul of my father who has gone to his eternal home. In loving testimony to his life I pledge charity to help perpetuate ideals important to him. Through such deeds, and through prayer and memory, is his soul bound up in the bond of life. May I prove myself worthy of the gift of life and the many other gifts with which he blessed me. May these moments of meditation link me more strongly with his memory and with our entire family. May he rest eternally in dignity and peace. Amen. In memory of a mother (insert name). .... .. May God remember the soul of my mother who has gone to her eternal home. In loving testimony to her life I pledge charity to help perpetuate ideals important to her.

May God remember the soul of my husband who has gone to his eternal home. In loving testimony to his life I pledge charity to help perpetuate ideals important to him. Through such deeds, and through prayer and memory, is his soul bound up in the bond of life. Love is strong as death, deep bonds of love are indissoluble. The memory of our companionship and love leads me out of lonliness into all that we shared which still endures. May he rest eternally in dignity and peace. Amen. In memory of a wife (insert name).. ...... May God remember the soul of my wife who has gone to her eternal home. In loving testimony to her life I pledge charity to help perpetuate ideals important to her. Through such deeds, and through prayer and memory, is her soul bound up in the bond of life. Love is strong as death, deep bonds of love are indissoluble. The memory of our companionship and love leads me out of loneliness into all that we shared which still endures.

  • News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
    News of Terrorism and the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict June 18-24 This past week a missile fired from Syria hit a truck and killed an Israeli boy. Left: The wounded evacuated to a hospital (Tazpit.org.il, June 22, 2014). Right: Remains of the rocket and the damage done to the truck (IDF Spokesman, June 22, 2014). Overview IDF Operation Brothers' Keeper to find and return the three abducted Israeli youths has entered its 11th day, focusing on the region around Hebron. So far the youths are still missing. The IDF has also carried out extensive activities throughout Judea and Samaria in order to damage the Hamas infrastructure. So far more than 300 suspects have been detained, most of them (240) Hamas activists and operatives. Among the detainees are 56 terrorist operatives released in the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal. Weapons have also been seized and institutions affiliated with Hamas have been closed. An Israeli boy was killed in the Golan Heights by a Syrian anti-tank missile. Israel holds the Syrian regime was responsible for the attack and the boy's death. In retaliation the Israeli Air Force struck Syrian army posts. Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the Palestinian Author ity (PA), gave a speech in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he said that those responsible for the abduction "want to destroy us, and we [i.e., the PA] will settle accounts with them." At the same time the PA strongly criticized the IDF action in Judea and Samaria. In addition, there a certain amount of unrest was created in the Palestinian street, the result of friction with IDF forces.

  • ISSUE 73 - AUTUMN 2000 Established 1971
    JOURNAL OF BABYLONIAN JEWRY PUBLISHED BY THE EXILARCH’S FOUNDATION Now found on www.thescribe.uk.com ISSUE 73 - AUTUMN 2000 Established 1971 A Happy New Year 5761 to all our Readers and Friends The procession of His Royal Highness The Exilarch on his weekly visit to the Grand Caliph of Baghdad, ALMUSTANJID BILLAH, accompanied by Benjamin of Tudela (12th Century) who wrote in his diary that the Caliph knows all languages, and is well-versed in the law of Israel. He reads and writes the holy language (Hebrew) and is attended by many belonging to the people of Israel. He will not partake of anything unless he has earned it by the work of his own hands. The men of Islam see him once a year. In Baghdad there are about 40,000 Jews “dwelling in security, prosperity and honour and amongst them are great sages, the heads of Academies engaged in the study of the Law. At the head of them all is Daniel, The Exilarch, who traces his pedigree to King David. He has been invested with authority over all the Jews in the Abbassid Empire. Every Thursday he goes to pay a visit to the great Caliph and horsemen, Gentiles as well as Jews, escort him and heralds proclaim in advance, ‘Make way before our Lord, the son of David, as is due unto him’. On arrival the Caliph rises and puts him on a throne, opposite him, which the prophet Mohammed had ordered to be made for him. He granted him the seal of office and instructed his followers to salute him (the Exilarch) and that anyone who should refuse to rise up should receive one hundred stripes.” THOUGHTS & AFTERTHOUGHTS by Naim Dangoor REFLECTIONS ON T H E as martyrs for the free world and should that G-d cannot do wrong, they try to put HOLOCAUST be remembered and honoured throughout the blame on the victims themselves.

  • Al-Quds Book
    JERUSALEMJERUSALEM The issue of Jerusalem have constituted, both in the far and near past, a basic pivot in determining the future and realities of the surrounding region. The POPULATION & URBANIZATION special importance of conducting a study on the Jerusalem issue rises from the current attempts to define the future of the region in the context of the ongoing political process and the accompanying conflicts, which are in some cases bloody and in other cases peaceful. Because of the importance of Jerusalem for both the Arab Palestinian side and the Zionist Jewish side, the From 1850 - 2000 determination of the future of the region, whether in terms of war or peace, depends on the method in which the issue is dealt with. The Zionist Movement has attempted from the start of its emigration to Palestine to impose new realities in order to decide the issue of Jerusalem for its benefit. The attempts were not restricted to physical realities, but included the creation of an impression and conviction through media and lots of books and publications that worked on forging the past and present history of the city, thus concealing the reality and truth behind a curtain of false propaganda and history forging. Thus, this contribution from the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center came to highlight the events that took place during the historical epoch between 1850 and 2000. We do hope that we can succeed in raising discussion over this issue and highlight the facts and truth and encourage others inside Palestine and abroad to contribute in this discussion and enrich this attempt towards reinforcing a conviction that any solution that does not guarantee the historical, political, national and religious rights of the Arab Palestinian people in Jerusalem will never be a just, comprehensive and permanent solution.
