The Connector - April 20, 2012

The Connector

 

 

 

Between Us

Good morning,

This week’s parasha is Shemini, in the Book of Leviticus. There are two main themes, and at first they do not appear to be connected. We read of how the priests Aaron and his sons become purified to do God’s work and then we learn about the laws of kashrut and which animals we are permitted – and not permitted – to eat. 
 
Commentators note that the connection is the Jewish value of holiness (kedushah). In the section referring to Aaron and his sons, we read that they must learn to “make a distinction between the holy and the unholy and between the clean and the unclean.”  In the section regarding kashrut, we are once again instructed to distinguish “between the unclean and the clean, between the animals that may be eaten and the animals that may not be eaten.”
 
The Hebrew word for “to make a distinction” is lehavdil – which has the same root as the word Havdalah, the Saturday night ceremony which distinguishes between Shabbat and the rest of the week. We make distinctions – and decisions - every day between good and evil, right and wrong, clean and unclean. In doing so, we strive to not only make the right decisions, but also to clarify the lines and achieve holiness in our daily lives.

April 16, 2012 - Yom HaShoah Community Events

 

Remembering Their Past, Strengthening Their Present, and Securing Their Future

 

As we observe Yom HaShoah - remembering the millions of Jewish victims of the Holocaust - we are also called to acknowledge the hundreds of Holocaust survivors who still live in our community today.  Many of these survivors are frail, poor, and ill, but are able to continue to live independently, in dignity and comfort, through the basic safety net services and compassionate care provided by JSSA’s Holocaust Survivor Program.

 

Mrs. X*, a Ukrainian Jewish Holocaust survivor who lost most of her family, is one recipient of this care.  Mrs. X’s immigration status made her ineligible for U.S. government assistance.  With support from the Claims Conference, JSSA provided her with low and no-cost medical care and medication; arranged for Meals on Wheels, holiday baskets, and free corrective lenses to assist with her severe vision loss; and included her in socialization opportunities designed especially for survivors.  JSSA also paid for naturalization classes and her naturalization test so that Mrs. X could gain her U.S. citizenship. 

 

Learn more about JSSA’s Holocaust Survivor Program and its ongoing mission to “Remember Their Past, Strengthen Their Present, and Secure Their Future.” 

 

*Note that the name of the JSSA client in this story has been changed to protect her privacy.

Between Us

Each year of life is precious. To be held dear. To be savored.

 

And each year, we take time to bear witness to the emptiness and pain in the loss of six million Jews in the Nazi Holocaust. It’s a number too large to fathom, too difficult to convey. It jars our senses and numbs them at the same time. As individuals, we focus our thoughts and in unity, we stand together. 

 

We recall the time we had with loved ones who are no longer with us. We wish we knew the members of family we never met. And most importantly, we remember their names. Having and holding onto names prevents the unthinkable: the loss of our memories and their precious identities. 

 

This Yom HaShoah, join us in standing together as a Washington Jewish community – in solidarity with Jews around the world - to remember and to never, ever forget.

The Connector - February 3, 2012

The Connector

 

 

Between Us

Good morning,

This week’s parasha is Beshalach, the fourth portion in the Book of Exodus. After leaving Egypt and escaping toward the Sea of Reeds, Moses gets his first taste of the challenges of leading the Israelites to freedom:  “As Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites caught sight of the Egyptians advancing upon them. Greatly frightened, the Israelites cried out to the Lord.  And they said to Moses, "Was it for want of graves in Egypt that you brought us to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us, taking us out of Egypt? Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt, saying, 'Let us be, and we will serve the Egyptians, for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness'?"

Such questions!  Such gratitude!  Moses is instructed by God to hold his rod over the sea to split it, and you know the rest of the story.  But this is only the first of a series of challenges by the recently-freed slaves to both Moses’ and God’s ability to keep them safe.  Even the miracle of the crossing of the Sea doesn’t transform the Israelites into believers.

We have all heard stories of “life-changing experiences”, and some of us may have even had one.  This week’s parasha, however, teaches that faith, while it may be prompted externally, most effectively comes from within.  The miracles of the plagues and the parting of the sea do not in and of themselves transform the Israelites – that comes over time, and even then is not a straight line progression.  Rather, it is the strong leadership of Moses and the readiness of the Israelites to receive the Torah that creates the construct within which faith emerges.

The Connector - January 20, 2012

Between Us

Good morning,

This week’s portion is Vaeirah, the second parasha of the Book of Exodus.  It contains the famous descriptions of the Burning Bush, Moses’ self-doubt about his abilities to confront Pharaoh and a listing of (most of) the Ten Plagues.  While Moses was sent by God to deliver the Hebrew slaves from Egyptian bondage, his mission was complex.

In addition to repeatedly pleading with Pharaoh to free the Jewish slaves, Moses was preparing them to become a new nation. The latter proved to be far more difficult. This portion focuses on the stubbornness and pride of a despot while introducing us to the challenges of rebuilding after destruction. Sound familiar? Recent world events remind us that removing a tyrant is only the beginning of the much more difficult rebuilding process.

Moses’ moment of self-doubt humanizes the most revered of our Jewish leaders. His strength was not only in confronting Pharaoh, for he was merely an agent of God. His strength was revealed later in confronting his people and God, with an eye toward the ultimate goals of receiving Torah and reaching the Promised Land. He was our greatest teacher because he taught us how to be free. It’s up to us to learn how best to use it.

The Connector - January 6, 2012

Between Us

Good morning,

This week’s parasha is entitled, Vayechi, “and Jacob lived.” But this last portion of the Book of Genesis is really about how Jacob died. He does so with dignity, preparation, humility and focus. One commentator notes that Jacob’s approach to death is exactly the opposite of Dylan Thomas’: “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

Instead, Jacob accepts his fate and gets his affairs in order by extracting a promise from Joseph that he will be buried in his homeland and then blessing his children and grandchildren. It is a natural process, a fitting close to the Genesis story, which was all about creation and the lives of our forefathers and foremothers. When his time comes, the Torah refers to Jacob’s death with the beautiful phrase:  “he is gathered to his people”.  He dies surrounded by family (in contrast to the lonely death of Moses) and in death, we are told he returns to family as well. 

Vayechi, Genesis and Judaism are all life-affirming.
