May God Remember the Jewish Center MAY GOD REMEMBER 'v rufzh THE JEWISH CENTER New York City 5781 2020 — 2021 Memorial Plaques In our Sanctuary there are Memorial Tablets upon which are inscribed the names of dear departed ones. Each name is inscribed on an individual plaque bearing the date of death in Hebrew and English with a Memorial light on either side. These lights are kindled on the Yahrzeit and at every Yizkor service, at which time are recited the traditional memorial prayers for the deceased. This is a fitting and appropriate way to honor those of our loved ones no longer with us. This Book of Remembrance, which will be available for use and inspiration at Yizkor service throughout the year, contains the Yizkor service as well as the names of our loved ones who have been called to their eternal reward whom we wish to memorialize during Yizkor. A contribution has been made to our Synagogue in their memory. May their souls be bound up in the bond of eternal life. vtuav hausek vrfzt vbIfb vjUbn tmnv /rGC kfk ,IjUrv hv«kt kt /UbFkn Ubhct gherv rvIzF /oh rIvyU ohJIse ,Ik gnC /vbhfJv hpbF ,j T /ktrGh hpkt ,Iccr ,Itn JJ kJ ovh,InJb ,t :oh rhvzn UebjbJu UjCybJu Up rGbJu Ud rvbJ /,Iskhu oh skh ohJbu ohJbt 'ohJIse okF :vpIrht ,UkdC Ubng h rrIm h shC ohhj UrCebJu i sg idC :v rITv h rh stu iIbckv hzrt 'oheh smu ohbItd 'oh rIvy ,t ohhjv rIrmC rIrmh ohnjrv k gC ifk :o, j U b n t v T kfkU Ubk sIn g,u /o,seg Ubk rIFzhu /o,kjb tUv hh /o,nJb /o,egzk oIen hvh ktu /ons hxfT kt .rt :o,Ufz kt rGh shnT vkgh o,esm rfz :o,zUjtk UcUJh ktrGh hjsb o,UfzC :int rnt«bu /o,IcFJn k g UjUbhu oIkJ UtIch /Whbpk MEMORIAL PRAYER FOR THE MARTYRS OF THE HOLOCAUST Our Father, our King! O God who is close to the hearts of all men, grant perfect rest beneath the sheltering wings of Thy presence, among the holy and pure who shine bright as the heavens, to the souls of the six million Jewish martyrs -- men, women, boys and girls -- who were killed, cremated, slaughtered, strangled and buried alive by the enemies of our people in the European dispersion: Auschwitz, Belzec, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Chelmno, Dachau, Majdanek, Mauthausen, Sobibor, Theresienstadt, Treblinka, and elsewhere. All of them, by virtue of their martyrdom, are holy and pure, wise and saintly cedars of Lebanon and giants of Torah. May their place of repose be in Paradise. May the Merciful One bind their souls to immortal life; for the Lord is their inheritance. May He remember unto us the merit of their martyrdom and may their abiding virtue be accounted to all Israel. Let not the earth cover up their blood, and let not their cry be silenced. In their merit, may the dispersed of Israel return to their heritage. May the memory of their righteousness always rise before Thee. May they rest in peace; and let us say, Amen. 1 ktrah ,unjkn hkkjk vrfzt vjUbn tmnv /ohnIrnC ifIJ ohnjr tkn kt ohJIse ,Ik gnC 'vbhfJv hpbF ,jT vbIfb ,InJbk 'oh rhvzn gherv rv«zF 'oh rIvyU k t rG h , I n j k n h k k j JUCF kgu oJv ,Jse kg oJpb Urxn rJt WhpbF r,xC o rhTxv 'ohnjrv k gC tbt / . r t v hh 'o,nJb-,t ohhjv rIrmC rIrmU 'ohnkI g k rnt«bu 'ocFJn k g oIkJC UjUbhu o,kjb tUv / i n t MEMORIAL PRAYER FOR THE FALLEN HEROES OF AMERICA AND ISRAEL Merciful God in Heaven, grant perfect rest beneath the sheltering wings of Thy presence, amongst the holy and pure who shine bright as the heavens, to the souls of the fallen heroes of the armed forces of the United States of America and of the State of Israel who gave their lives in the sanctification of God’s Name, on behalf of our country and the Land of Israel.

What is mortal man that Thou shouldst consider him? Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow. He flourishes and grows in the morning; He fades and withers in the evening. O teach us how to number our days, That we may attain a heart of wisdom. Mark the innocent, look upon the upright; For there is a future for the man of peace. Surely God will free me from the grave; He will receive me indeed. My flesh and my heart fail, Yet God is my strength forever. The dust returns to the earth as it was, But the spirit returns to God who gave it. 3 'h,sUmnU hxjn hhk rn«t /ibIk,h h SJ km C ' i I h k g r , x C c J «h /,IUv rcSn 'JUeh jPn WkhMh tUv hF /IC jy c t hv«kt t«k /ITnt v rj«xu vBm 'vxjT uhpbF ,j,u 'Qk Qxh I, rctC 'Q«kvh kp«tC rcSn /onIh ;Ugh .jn 'vkhk sjPn trh, Whkt 'Wbhnhn vcc rU ;kt W SMn k«Ph / ohrvm sUJh cyEn vTt hF /vtrT ohgJr ,nKJu 'yhC, WhbhgC er /JDh t«k t«k gdbu 'vgr Whkt vBt, t«k /WbIgn TnG iIhkg 'hxjn hh k g /WhfrS kfC W rnJk 'QK vUmh uhftkn hF /WkvtC creh 'Q«rsT i,pu kjJ kg /Wkdr ictC ;«DT iP 'WbUt¬h ohPF gsh hF UvcDGt 'UvyKptu eJj hc hF /ihB,u rhpF x«n rT /UvsCftu UvmKjt 'v rmc hf«bt INg 'Uvbgtu hbtreh /h nJ 'Uv ghCGt ohnh Q r«t /h,gUJhC Uvtrtu 'Uv ghCGt ohnh Q r«t /h,gUJhC Uvtr t u He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High abides under the protection of the Almighty. I say of the Lord: “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Indeed, He will save you from the snare of the fowler, and from the destructive pestilence. With His pinions, He will cover you, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler. Fear not the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the destruction that ravages at noon. Though a thousand fall at your side, and a myriad at your right hand, it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes will you gaze, and see the reward of evil men. Thou, O Lord, art my refuge! When you have made the Most High your shelter, no disaster shall befall you, no calamity shall come near your tent. For He will give His angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you upon their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the adder; you can trample the young lion and serpent. “He clings to me, so I deliver him; I set him safe, because he loves me. When he calls upon me, I will answer him; I set him safe, because he loves me. When he calls upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him to honor. With long life will I satisfy him, and let him see my saving power.” 4 In memory of a father: rUc gC 'InkIgk QkvJ *//// h rIn hct ,nJb ohv«kt r«Fzh IJpb tvT vz rfGC /IsgC vesm iTt rsb h k C J 'c«e ghu ejmh ovrct ,InJb og 'ohHjv rIrmC v rUrm idCJ ,IHbesmu oheh Sm rtJ ogu 'vtku kj r ve c r v rG /int rnt«bu 'i sg In memory of a father: May God remember the soul of my respected father...* who has passed to his eternal rest.

  • Dr. Leo Deutschlander
    Chaim Shapiro At a fund-raising dinner in America on behalf of his Yeshiva in Baranovitch, Reb Elchonon Wasserman 7"Yr made a request: the Rabbi of the host synagogue not make the appeal, for he might not encourage too great of a response for a cause other than his own institution. The re­ quest was not fulfilled and the Rabbi did make the appeal. Dr. Leo "Give a dollar or two - whatever you can," pleaded the Rabbi, and indeed not much more came in. The Rabbi later apologized to Reb Elchonon for not set­ ting a higher ceiling for contributions. Reb Elchonon Deutschlander replied, "So you are not Beza/el. How can I have mis­ givings?" He then explained: when commanded to build the Mishkon (portable sanctuary in the wilderness) Moshe Rabbeinu was told that "Beza/el" would be in charge. Moshe began his search and stopped whomever he met, "Is your name Beza/el?" and the Jew would reply, "No, my name is Chaim" - or, "Sorry, I'm Gamliel." "Could Moshe have had complaints against them for not being Beza/el?" asked Reb Elchonon. "Of course not! Not everyone has the ability or the z'chus to be a Beza/el. You, sir, are just not a Beza/el." When Sara Schenirer launched the Bais Yaakov movement, she was totally on her own. At the start there were no fellow Bezalels to assist her. Then they emerged one at a time - first, ·Reb Gershon Eliezer Friedenson, a most effective molder of opinion, who disseminated the idea on a broad, organized scale.

  • HASSIDIM CONFRONTING MODERNITY William Shaffir
    HASSIDIM CONFRONTING MODERNITY William Shaffir N the late 1960s, I knew virtually nothing about hassidic Jews when I began researching their lifestyle and community organiza- Ition. But I still vividly recall how I was struck then by their distinc- tive presence along the Park Avenue area in the Mile End district of Montreal. Many of my peers mockingly referred to them as the ‘Park Avenue White Sox’ (after the famous Chicago White Sox baseball team) because some of the men in the community wore breeches tied below the knee, so that their white-stockinged calves were visible below their long black coats and slipper-like shoes. Those hassidim not only appeared out of place but, to my surprise, seemed untouched by the secular influences of the wider society.1 At around this time, in November 1969, I noted in my set of field notes: I spent a good part of the morning walking the streets around Park Avenue to get a feel for where the hassidim live in this part of the city. I was there around mid-morning. Hassidic men are walking briskly as though they are on a mission. No one strolls leisurely. My casual strolls, at various times of the day, allowed me to also observe scores of women pushing baby carriages and young boys, with lengthy earlocks, playing outside their homes. I wonder if this community has experienced any major changes that have impacted on their chosen way of life? I imagine this will become one underlying theme of my research. How can it not be? Based on a few conversations that I’ve had with persons that seem knowledgeable about hassidim — mainly non-hassidic Jews I should point out — they have managed the impossible.

  • Modern Orthodox Judaism: a Documentary History Zev Eleff
    Study Guide for: Modern Orthodox Judaism: A Documentary History Zev Eleff Session 1: Engaging Reform Learning Goals: By its very nature, an “orthodox” faith represents a response to some form of heterodox. Before the emergence of a “reform” element, Jews in this modern period by and large did not divide into neat “denominations” or “movements.” In the early 1820s, then, Orthodox Jews defended their traditional against Reform and did their best to articulate a vision for their community. Students and learners should explore the various and fluid meanings of “Orthodox Judaism” and how it rose up in reaction to Reform Judaism. Reading: Chapter 1 Questions for Discussion 1. What were some of the different ways in which traditional Jews responded to the early incarnations of Jewish Reform in America? 2. Why might a “traditional” Jew accept the label “Orthodox” and why might they avoid that designation in their religious lives? 3. On what grounds did “Orthodox” Jews defend their inabilities to properly observe Jewish law? Are there echoes of those explanations today? If so, how might they differ?
