February 2021—Shevat/Adar 5781 2 BETH SHALOM SYNAGOGUE BULLETIN - www.edmontonbethshalom.org A Message from your Rabbi, Steven Schwarzman

Each day brings with it news that alternates between joyful and exasperating. The vaccines are on their way; the vaccines are going to be delayed.

In Judaism, we learn to live with the ups and downs of life. We work to make things the best they can be, and then we trust in God to take care of what we can't. And this message is the central theme, perhaps, of the Book of Esther.

You see, God's name does not appear in the book. It seems, at first glance, to be a very human tale of court intrigue in ancient Persia, and it is also that. What are Jews doing there? The text tells us: Mordechai was among the exiles from Judea when the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem in 586 BCE. Soon after, the Persians defeated the Babylonians. And so Mordechai and Esther are in Persia.

Like us, Mordechai and Esther do their human best to save their people. And they succeed in the end, which is why we are here today to tell the story.

And it is the apparently human-centered focus of the story that makes it accessible to us. There are no Red Sea-like miracles in the story of Purim. Instead, we see people acting pretty much the way we would- with intelligence, with courage and even daring, and with an eye not only to the present but also the future.

We all pray that the vaccines will soon bring an end to the pandemic. And we also know that we will continue to get through it together, both on special days like Purim, and on every day.

Join us online for the fun on Purim, and join us every day on Zoom for minyans and classes, and on livestream for Shabbat services.

Happy Purim!

4 BETH SHALOM SYNAGOGUE BULLETIN - www.edmontonbethshalom.org A Message from your President, Laurence Abbott

Here we are, nearly a year after we began taking our earliest measures in response to the COVID crisis, and normal seems so far in the past and still far off, too, into the future. At Beth Shalom, we began our response to COVID by suspending hand- shaking, followed a couple of weeks later by modifications to our Kiddush lunch, moving next to moving morning minyanim onto Zoom, and then we started livestreaming on Shabbat, beginning in August. Each transition we have made, from in-person to online, and then to a hybrid of both, has been accompanied by technological and halachic issues and complexities. While we wish for plug-and-play solutions to the technological challenges, what we’re working with is often more complicated – multiple platforms, multiple service providers, integrating hardware purchased at different times, and most of it was acquired with no intention of supporting the kinds of services and programming we have been doing since March 2020. Further, with our daily and weekly rituals, and with holy days and festivals, we’re exploring and seeking ways to reconcile Jewish law and customs with our current reality.

We know that our virtual shul has been essential to supporting our members who have lost loved ones, and that our morning minyanim with its cohort of regular participants has been there to ensure we have a minyan so that mourners and those with yahrzeits can recite kaddish. But we all recognize there are dimensions of our services and our programming that are difficult to replicate online. There are tactile facets of services, like touching the Torah as it passes in procession, and shaking hands, and casual conversations, that Zoom and livestreaming cannot capture. There is the regular stream of movement of people going up to the Bima for honours, and the regular coming and going that characterizes the casual formality of services. There is a collective sense of being together and sharing the experience of being in the sanctuary at the same time that is elusive, when all we’re sharing at the moment is a common mosaic of faces of our kehillah members. Fundamentally, it is the social dimension of being in the shul that is the aspect of this we all miss most, especially the kiddush lunch. When we think of the Hebrew term for a shul, beit ha’knesset, a house of assembly, and note the same meaning echoed in the Greek roots of synagogue, we recall and acknowledge that that people being together are the necessary part of a shul.

Realistically, we’re imagining another challenging year. The board is anticipating that the 2021 operating year will, to a fair extent, mirror 2020. It seems likely we will be able to resume in-person Shabbat services in the next couple of months, once it is safe to do so, albeit with the same kinds of measures we had in place from July to November. We’re looking at streaming a seder for Pesach, and we’re already beginning to look at scenarios for High Holidays. We’re hoping for closer-to-normal services in the fall, and all of us recognize that the future new normal, when we can be together, once again, remains a moving target. Possibilities for member-generated programs are there through the Nefesh program – for information on this, please contact Rabbi Schwarzman or the synagogue office.

I know all of us continue to be very grateful to all of our staff and all our volunteers at Beth Shalom who continue to sustain our operations, programs and services.

Respectfully, Laurence Abbott

February 2021—Shevat/Adar 5781 BETH SHALOM SYNAGOGUE BULLETIN - www.edmontonbethshalom.org 5 Beth Shalom M. Yedlin Memorial Library Please consult Netta Phillet about BETH SHALOM M. YEDLIN MEMORIAL LIBRARY the possibility of BOOKS BY DEBORAH LIPSTADT donating to the library prior to bringing books to the library. We’re sure many of us listened to Ms. Lipstadt on January 27, courtesy of the Calgary Public Library and the Calgary Jewish Federation. If you Thank You ! want to read more the Beth Shalom Library has four of her books. “Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory”, (1993) “History on Trial”, (2005) ; “The Eichmann Trial”, (2011); “Antisemitism Here and Now”, (2019)

Lipstadt was born in New York City in 1947. She studied at the Hebrew Institute of Long Island, and spent her junior year of college in Israel during the Six-Day War, where she stayed as an exchange student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She completed her undergraduate work in American History at the City College of New York in 1969, receiving a BA. She then enrolled at Brandeis where she completed her Masters in 1972 and then her Ph.D. in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies in 1976. She taught first at the University of Washington in Seattle from 1974 to 1979, then as an Assistant Professor at UCLA. When she was denied tenure there, she left in 1985 to be the director of the independent Brandeis-Bardin Institute for two years, during which time she also wrote a monthly column for The Jewish Spectator. Lipstadt then received a research fellowship from the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, during which she studied Holocaust denial, and taught at Occidental College part time. She then became an Assistant Professor of Religion at Emory University in Atlanta in January 1993, becoming the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies that fall. She helped to create the Institute for Jewish Studies there.

In 1996, Holocaust denier David Irving sued Lipstadt and her publisher Penguin Books for libel in an English court for characterizing some of his writings and public statements as Holocaust denial in her book “Denying the Holocaust”.

English libel law places the burden of proof on the defendant rather than the plaintiff. Lipstadt and Penguin won the case using the justification defence, namely by demonstrating in court that Lipstadt's accusations against Irving were substantially true and therefore not libelous. The case was argued as a bench trial before Mr. Justice Gray who produced a written judgment 349 pages long detailing Irving's systematic distortion of the historical record of World War II. The Times (April 14, 2000, p. 23) said of Lipstadt's victory, "History has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory."[8]

Despite her acrimonious history with Irving, Lipstadt has stated that she is personally opposed to the three- year prison sentence Austria imposed on Irving for two speeches he made in 1989, where he claimed there had been no gas chambers at Auschwitz. In Austria, minimizing the atrocities of the Third Reich is a crime punishable with up to 10 years' imprisonment. Speaking of Irving, Lipstadt said, "I am uncomfortable with imprisoning people for speech. Let him go and let him fade from everyone's radar screens ... Generally, I don't think Holocaust denial should be a crime. I am a free speech person, I am against censorship."

In late 2011, Lipstadt attacked American and Israeli politicians for what she called their invocation of the Holocaust for contemporary political purposes, something she thought mangled history. She rebuked Repub- lican Party presidential candidates for speeches that 'pandered' to the Evangelical constituency, as much as it did to the Republican Jewish Coalition. She also judged Howard Gutman's remarks on causal links between Muslim antisemitism and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict as "stupid". According toHaaretz, "She decried the 'hysteria' and 'neuroses' of many Jews and Israelis who compare the current situation in Europe and in the Middle East to the Holocaust era".

In the same interview, she argued that, "If anti-Semitism becomes the reason through which your Jewish view of the world is refracted, if it becomes your prism, then it is very unhealthy. Jewish tradition never wanted that." On a visit to London in September 2014, Lipstadt criticized the Israeli government and said that the government had "cheapened" the memory of the Holocaust by using it to justify war. She has also rejected the view that Israeli military actions during the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict constituted a genocide

Lipstadt returned to the theme of soft-core Holocaust denial in The Atlantic when responding to the Trump administration's statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, 2017 which was con- demned for the absence of a specific mention of Jews, as the principal victims of the Holocaust or of antisemitism itself. "The Holocaust was de-Judaized. It is possible that it all began with a mistake. Someone simply did not realize what they were doing. It is also possible that someone did this deliberately.”

In October 2019, Lipstadt had a letter to the editor published in The New York Times in which, prompted by the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Peter Handke, she wrote that the Nobel Committee awarded Handke a platform "he does not deserve" and that "the public does not need him to have", adding that such a platform could convince some that his "false claims must have some legitimacy".
