2 TEMPLE NEWS

From the Rabbi

The groundhog predicted an extra six weeks of winter, but the Jewish calendar says otherwise. According to it, this year, spring will begin on time, if we choose it! On the Jewish calendar, spring is not only a time of the year, it is a time for renewal in how we think about one another.

Just as the earth has seasons, so do each of us. We go through cycles in a given year. Our spring holiday, Passover, encourages us to move from a season of self-centeredness to a time of remembering what it felt like to be slaves in order to root out bondage anywhere it exists in our world. Certainly, we acknowledge the earth’s awakening during the Passover holiday. For example, we eat greens, such as parsley, during the Seder. It’s important to be thankful for the change in nature’s seasons and appreciate the new growth of vegetation. However, the reason we dip those very greens into salt water is to shake us to the conclusion that as long as any individuals do not have freedom, our own freedom must remain bittersweet.

This prospect can be overwhelming when we think about all the people in our own world who are living in slave-like conditions. Our tradition gives us a way to make this work manageable. As is stated in Pirkei Avot 2:21, “You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.” My own supplement to this quote is, “And there are many others around you who can join in to help.”

Quite frankly, this is one of the main functions of a synagogue: to help many individuals work together on improving and perfecting our world.

I am sure you are aware of all the wonderful projects that our social action committee plans each year. However, I am not sure if you are aware that this is an open committee that you are free to join and to give your input. Primarily, Temple Judea’s social action has focused on feeding and clothing the needy on Long Island. That is not to say that other areas can’t be worked on. In fact, this past year we also gave our attention to helping out victims of the hurricanes. In a moment’s notice, we banded together to raise funds and supplies for Texas and Puerto Rico. Maybe you have an idea that you would like others to get behind. Please feel free to see the temple as your extended family of helping hands. Contact our social action chairs to get on board with a project or suggest your own.

Friends, Passover begins at sundown on March 30, but the holiday truly begins when we each decide to see beyond ourselves and reach out to others.

From my family to yours, May you have a sweet and joyous Pesach. Chag Sameach!

Message from the President

In light of the recent events in Parkland, Florida, I feel compelled to use this space to address the issue of gun violence. This incident has connections to the Jewish community on Long Island, as several of the victims are originally from this area, including a teacher named Scott Beigel, who worked with my sister and brother-in-law for the past few years at Camp Starlight in Pennsylvania. Parkland is a community not unlike ours and, so, it is not surprising that many of our children know students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School from summer camp.

Whatever your views on the Second Amendment, we can all agree that assault rifles should never make their way into the hands of the mentally ill. Further, we should be able to agree that law-abiding citizens—whether they are hunters, sportsmen and women, or homeowners—have no need for these incredibly lethal weapons. Lastly, it is baffling that an 18-year-old may buy an assault weapon, but cannot purchase cigarettes or alcohol, or even rent a car.

While a significant majority of our country agrees with these common-sense sentiments, it seems that their voices have not been heard by our elected leaders. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that their voices were heard, but they have been drowned out by the oversized political impact of the gun lobby, in particular the National Rifle Association (NRA). It is hard to overstate the NRA’s influence on American politics. The organization issues easy- to-decipher letter grades to members of Congress, depending on their voting record on gun rights.

After 20 children ages 6 and 7 were murdered in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, in 2012 and nothing changed, I assumed nothing ever would. Perhaps I was too pessimistic; this most recent tragedy has triggered two new and significant developments.

First, this time, the voices calling for change are coming from our children—most powerfully from the children who survived the shooting, some just barely. On March 14, students around the country will be walking out of their schools at precisely 10 a.m. in every time zone for 17 minutes: one minute for each person killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. On March 24, students from Parkland are planning March for Our Lives in Washington, DC, to call for school safety and gun control. My family will be joining them.

Second, several major corporations—including Delta Airlines, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart—are offering more than the threadbare refrain of “thoughts and prayers.” These companies are changing their policies on assault rifles—either by refusing to sell them or by ending their association with the NRA—knowing full well the potential impact to their bottom line. They chose this course because they believe it is the right thing to do. I agree.

Perhaps these new movements will make a difference, notwithstanding the well-entrenched and formidable institutional power of the gun lobby. I hope that it does. At Temple Judea, I will be asking the board to consider whether we should reevaluate our business partners in light of this issue.

Warm regards,

Erik Groothuis President [email protected]

Message from Your Sisterhood

The dedicated women of WRJ Sisterhood continue to support Temple Judea through the many diverse programs and events they have planned and implemented.

By now, you have participated in our new Purim Greetings fundraiser. This program benefits Sisterhood and enables us to send Purim packages to Jewish servicewomen and servicemen in the U.S. Armed Forces. We sent kosher goodies and other items that we think they would enjoy. The thank-you notes we receive from them warms our hearts and reminds us how important it is to continue this program.

Please join Sisterhood for our Women’s Seder on Tuesday, March 20, at 6:30 p.m. We are delighted that our service will be led by Temple Judea’s student cantor, Mariel Guarrera-Ashkenazy. We invite Temple Judea members, their daughters, mothers, sisters, nieces, cousins and friends to join us at our Seder. Hassan Caterers will be catering our Seder dinner.

Sisterhood will once again welcome Rabbi Todd Chizner as our guest speaker on Tuesday, April 10, at 11 a.m. Knowing Sisterhood has tried to focus on women’s issues this year, Rabbi will discuss the complicated role of women in the Bible. Listen to Her Voice is the title of the Rabbi’s address. It’s a quote from Genesis, when God is telling Abraham to listen to Sarah. I know we will all be listening very intently and learning from Rabbi Chizner.

On April 18 at 7 p.m., Sisterhood will be hosting our second guest author event. We are delighted to welcome Jamie Brenner, author of The Forever Summer to Temple Judea. Following her presentation, Ms. Brenner will answer questions and sign her book, which is available to purchase at the temple office.

Don’t forget that our Book Club is open to the entire congregation. The group will meet on Tuesday, March 27, at 1:30 p.m. to discuss The Forever Summer.

Sisterhood is also the place to shop for yarmulkes. Visit the Judaica shop, located in the temple lobby, for all of your gift needs.

Sisterhood is an integral arm of Temple Judea. I am inspired by the strength and integrity of my sisters and their commitment to WRJ Sisterhood and Temple Judea.

Respectfully submitted, Phyllis Wininger President WRJ [email protected]

Fiddler on the Roof: A Tradition in Japan

By Mara Jill Herman

This past Hanukkah, I witnessed a kind of miracle in modern times: Toho Stage’s Fiddler on the Roof, performed in Japanese by an all-Asian company. The quintessential Jewish musical set in Imperial Russia in 1905 and based on “Tevye and his Daughters” and other tales by Sholem Aleichem is about a poor dairyman’s attempts to maintain his cultural and religious traditions in a changing world.

The production, which opened on December 5, 2017, in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and runs for a three-month national tour, is as relevant today in Asia as when it opened in 1964 on Broadway. Fiddler made its way to Japan in 1967, and has been produced here more than 10 times. The current revival marks its 50th anniversary in Japan. A country devastated by the atomic bomb in World War II and more recently by a horrific earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster, the Japanese can identify with the vulnerable villagers of Anatevka, who face universal strife, political unrest and familial hardship. And the audience receives catharsis at the Nissay Theater.

In great voice, a charismatic and equally comedic Tevye (Masachika Ichimura) breaks the fourth wall to relay the state of affairs in his Russian shtetl. As “Tradition” resounds, the full company emerges, arms linked at a 90-degree angle, paying homage to Jerome Robbins’s signature choreography. Shigeki Majima recreates most of Robbins’s original staging, but adds his unique stamp to this American musical-theater classic.

Conducted by Akihiro Shiota, the musicians play with verve and gusto upstage and mostly hidden behind a scrim. The Fiddler (Keiichi Hibino) weaves in and out of the stage pictures. His body language evokes an omniscient presence that moves the plot and theme along. It was mildly distracting, however, to watch Hibino mime rather than produce sound and truly play the fiddle. In a John Doyle (Company, Sweeney Todd) era of actor-musicians, I wonder if this virtuosic standard will take off in future Japanese productions.

Yente (Kohko Arai), the town gossip, provides comic relief with a distinctly scratchy voice. Using playful, bold gestures, Tzietel (Rion Misaki) ignites a sisterly bond with Hodel (Sayaka Kanda) and Chava (Fuka Yuzuki) in “Matchmaker” as the trio playfully sing about their future spouses. Hideomi Terasaki’s direction of the youngest sisters, Shprintze and Bielke, is both heartfelt and practical. The two arrive just in time to assist with the set change and also yearn for a similar fate as their older sisters.

While conversing with God, Ichimura owns the stage and delivers an emotionally charged rendition of “If I Were a Rich Man.” When Tevye and Lazar (Kiyotaka Imai) meet for a drink at The Inn, Ichimura does an excellent physical and funny routine as he handles props and falls onto furniture. In “To Life,” Fyedka (Kyohei Kanda) is a standout vocalist, holding out a long note that won the audience with a grand applause. (continued on page 14)

13 SPOTLIGHT ON OUR TEMPLE FAMILY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13)

Motel (Miyua Irion), the sheepish underdog in love with the eldest daughter, Tzietel, often stutters in Tevye’s presence. While tensions mount with Tzietel, Tevye’s scarf creates a creative choreographed tug-of-war, rhythmically pushing Motel away and reeling him back in.

Golde (Ran Otori) sets a hilarious tone with loud, open-mouth snoring that sends Tevye over the edge as he plots “The Dream.” Dressed in bright colors, the chorus appears as spirits from the grave and they sing “Meditai, Meditai” (“Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov”) and move in a syncopated rhythm. Frumah Sarah (Haruko Sonoyama), an impeccable, larger-than-life demon in red, is brilliantly costumed by Miki Oto. Frumah Sarah, several feet off the ground, commands in fanciful fright and shakes Golde into accepting Tzeitel’s union with Motel.

After a moving, teary “Sunrise, Sunset” the pace quickens with a thrilling and precise “Bottle Dance.” The dancers are so agile that when one bottle fell from a dancer’s hat, it could have been a metaphor to signify human imperfection. Naoki Tanaka built a beautiful wall of flowers to serve as the traditional Hassidic partition between men and women at a wedding. A rebellious and passionate Perchik (Yusuke Hirose) disregards tradition and dares men and women to dance together. In the “Wedding Dance,” Msaharu Shinagawa emerges from the orchestra to play his clarinet downstage, lifting the celebration in moving authenticity. The first aggressive signs of a political demonstration abruptly kill the atmosphere and ends Act I.

As Tevye and Golde reconcile their daughters’ newfound partners, they reassess their love for one another in “Do You Love Me?” Ichimura and Otori sweetly capture the age-old banter of a married couple, landing in a final pose with their backs to the audience. They exit facing upstage, but playfully wave over their shoulders, and give the audience one last chuckle.

Perchik and Hodel’s decision to leave for Siberia challenges the family dynamic as she is struck with ambivalence. At the train station with Tevye, a once headstrong and flirtatious Hodel shows a more vulnerable side. “Far from the Home I Love” is beautifully sung and concludes with a particularly emotional visual of Tevye pushing Hodel out of an embrace and toward her new life.

When the villagers must leave Anatevka and begin their separate journeys, the full company forms a circle, faces inward and bows to one another, a distinct and common Japanese custom. Some villagers exit while others remain and bow once again. Symbolic of finality, the action is weighted, indicating a troupe of players who take great pride in their work as an ensemble. But the circle they form connotes a global story of tradition, and one I hope continues to find a home wherever it goes.

RITUAL COMMITTEE NEWS

At our last meeting, we discussed the idea of changing the name of the Ritual Committee. Members expressed that the word “committee” could be misleading because it sounds exclusive. However, all agreed that we want congregants to know that these meetings are open and inclusive for whomever is interested in shaping the spiritual direction of our synagogue.

For example, at this most recent meeting, our group decided that we should use three or four Saturdays (when there is no Bar/Bat Mitzvah) to hold discussions that are relevant to specific populations of the congregation. In fact, you will be hearing more about this in the coming weeks, as you will be invited to participate in at least one of these conversations.

At a previous meeting, we decided on a multipronged approach to reach all the adult members of the temple in order to invite everyone to participate in our Friday Shabbat services. First, Rabbi Chizner sent a personal letter to every family. Then, ritual members were assigned a calling list containing all the birthdays of each adult member of the congregation, by month. Finally, a follow-up email is being sent.

Our services are a haven in time, a welcome retreat from a long week. The music and the message are uplifting.

Recently, our student cantor, Mariel Guarrera-Ashkenazy, added recordings of select prayers to our website. Members can now access these recordings to become more familiar with the melodies or to learn the prayers for when they are led at our services.

Please note the following important ritual dates and times.

• The first night of Passover will occur on Friday, March 30. As a result, Shabbat services will begin at 5 p.m. and will be abbreviated. • 10th Grade Confirmation/Shavuot will take place on Shavuot, Sunday, May 20, at 10:30 a.m. All congregants will be invited to services and a lunch following the holiday services/program. Rabbi Chizner hopes that members will attend these services in order to see and hear what our 10th and 11th grade students have to say about their confirmation. • Our next Ritual Committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 21. We will be discussing the use of a Smartboard during services so that songs and prayers can be seen while still looking up at the bimah.

A special thank you to Vin Friedman, who generously donated a new music stand that will be used by our student cantor, Mariel.

Respectfully submitted, Susan Goldklang Chair of Ritual

PACK IT UP FOR HATZILU Temple Judea is collecting 100 bottles of dishwashing liquid for Hatzilu, a kosher food pantry in Baldwin. On Sunday, March 4, Temple Judea families will join members of other North Shore synagogues and Jewish Community Centers at the Sid Jacobson JCC for a Jewish community project. Led by TANS, a consortium of social action chair people, participants will Pack It Up for Hatzilu, putting together all the collected donations from the participating groups. In addition to packing the supplies, activities will be available for your kids and grandkids. This is a great family activity and a meaningful way to teach our children the importance of mitzvot. PASSOVER PROJECT* Our congregation will once again work with Project Era to pack Passover boxes for elderly New Yorkers on the Lower East Side. For many of them, this will be their only Passover food. Please join our social action committee on March 15 at 11:30 a.m. to pack up the borscht, matzoh ball soup and gefilte fish that is being donated by congregants. Please look at the list at the bottom of this article to see what items are being included. It is essential that you let us know if you would like to donate a “box” or share it with a friend or two, since we need the exact items specified, and we are responsible for 12 to 15 boxes. We will need all donations by March 13. Contact Alicia Munves at 516-627-5998 or Rita Marcus at [email protected], if you would like to donate a box. What else can we do to help the hungry? As part of an ongoing effort to feed the hungry right here in Nassau County, a food donation basket has been placed in the lobby of our synagogue. We urge you to bring an item (or two or three) of nonperishable food whenever you are coming to Temple Judea. Please make this a habit—you can do so much good! And, many organizations also take perishable foods. Don’t let your leftovers go to waste! Do you have extra food from a celebration or untouched food from a house of mourning? These leftovers can feed families! Call Alicia at 516-627-5998 or email Rita at [email protected] for additional information. PROM DRESS DRIVE It’s an annual tradition. Every year we say, “Every girl deserves to feel beautiful at her prom!” This spring, Temple Judea will once again participate in a project to help disadvantaged Long Island teenage girls attend their high school proms. Please bring your gently used—and still gorgeous—formal dresses, along with shoes, bags, costume jewelry and new makeup to the synagogue by March 21. Go through your own closet—and your daughter’s bat mitzvah wardrobe! Last year more than 3,500 girls “shopped” at the prom drive event. If you would like to volunteer at the set up for the big shopping day or participate in helping the girls at the big event, please let Alicia or Rita know ASAP, as there are a limited number of volunteer positions. ADOPT-A-FAMILY Thanks to the efforts of Tami Goodman and her fabulous team of shoppers, we are helping our Jewish Adopt-A-Family in a very meaningful way.

Irving Roth delivered this address at the United Nations in New York City at the opening of the March of the Living exhibit on January 29, 2018.

My Dear Fellow Humans,

I consider going on March of the Living (MOL) a privilege afforded to me not only by the MOL organization, but by providence itself. Standing beside the cattle car in Auschwitz in 1998, where I arrived in May 1944 as a 14 year old decades ago, I was living a miracle. Every time that I have participated in the MOL, the experience is always different. While the physical surroundings are the same, the emotional response varies based on who I am surrounded by.

My first return to Auschwitz was in 1998. It was on the afternoon of the march, where more than 10,000 Jewish teenagers from all over the world stood in silence as the shofar was sounded, signaling the start of the two-mile march from Auschwitz I to Birkenau death camp. I marched in silence, contemplating the experience of more than five decades before. This time, it was not a march commanded by the Nazi commander, Rudolf Hess, but the gathering of 10,000 healthy and proud Jewish teenagers defying the Nazi ideology. Anachnu Po! We are here! Your Nazi weapons, gas chambers, cruelty and murder, though still painful, did not destroy our spirit to live a righteous life. At the end of the two-mile march, we were stepping on the ashes of more than one million of our brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers as we entered the death camp of Birkenau. It was with reverence for their life and death. Their spirit lives in us! Their message: “Z’chor v’lo tishkach,” “Remember and do not forget,” is indelibly seared into our collective memory.

As the six torches were lit and the flames were reaching to heaven, they were not the flames of death and destruction as they were more than five decades before, but the flames of commemoration, memory, hope and promise of remembrance into generations to come.

After the ceremony, at the monument and the lighting of the torches, I spoke to my group. It was twilight, and we were the last stragglers leaving the largest-Jewish cemetery in the world. My spirit was uplifted. I was walking out of the death camp with a vibrant group of Jewish teenagers on our way to the Warsaw airport to go to Jerusalem, the center of Judaism in all the ages.

As the 737 lifted off at the Warsaw airport, leaving the blood-soaked Polish soil, I began to contemplate the future of a time when we, the survivors, will no longer be able to accompany the next generation of teenagers through Auschwitz. How will this next generation connect to the experience of Auschwitz without eyewitnesses?

It was at that moment, as I was observing the teenagers around me, that I was struck by an idea. These teenagers, who walked in the ashes of Auschwitz, became surrogate survivors. They had been listening to survivors, they knew their stories, they saw the gas chambers and crematoria of Majdanek, they marched with the survivors in silence and felt their pain. They absorbed the souls of those who were murdered and those who survived. They will tell their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Auschwitz, Treblinka, Majdanek, Sobibor Chelmno and Belzec. They will retell the stories of Jewish life that once was in Europe.

After landing at the Lod Airport and traveling to Jerusalem, we arrived at the ancient Wall in Jerusalem as the new day was dawning—from the destruction of Auschwitz to the rebirth of a new era. There was a buoyancy in the steps of the teenagers, as well as in the gate of the survivors. It was a morning of hope, and realization that a better tomorrow has arrived.

We were all transformed! I ask you all to join us on the March of the Living! You, too, will be transformed! You, too, will become a surrogate survivor.
