One of my favorite stories involves a young Rabbi whomoved to a rather isolated Jewish community where the near-est Jewish community is about 50 miles away. About a monthafter the young Rabbi arrives in his community, the Rabbi ofthe nearby community calls him. This other Rabbi needs togo see family members on the other side of the country andwill be gone for four days. He asks the young Rabbi to coverfor him. The young Rabbi agrees. After two days, the youngRabbi gets a call from the President of the other community.A member of the congregation passed away and he is neededto perform the funeral which will be held the next morning.The young Rabbi indicates that he will be there.

The Rabbi arrives at the synagogue and asks to meet withother members of the community who knew the deceased.He wants to put together a eulogy. But each communitymember he speaks with refuses to talk about the now deadman. The Rabbi decides that he will ask for someone tospeak on behalf of the deceased at the funeral.

After the introductory prayers at the funeral, the time forthe eulogy arrives. The Rabbi asks if someone wishes tospeak on behalf of the deceased. No one steps forward. TheRabbi then asks, “Doesn’t anyone have something good to

say about this man?” A man in the last rowraises his hand. The Rabbi motions for himto speak. The man gets up and says, “I thinkI have something good to say about him. Asbad as he was, his brother was even worse!”

We live in a world where it seems that fewhave anything good to say about others.Many don’t just disagree with their oppo-nents, they see the need to call them names.They call their foes fools, idiots, and worse.

We see it in our politics. President Obamais labeled as a “traitor.” Governor Palin is“stupid.” Congresswoman Bachman walksout onstage for a late night TV show and theband plays a song about a b-tch. Vice Pres-ident Biden is a “clown.” Herman Cain isan “Oreo.” The name calling knows nosides. It is the practice of both many De-mocrats and many Republicans. Reminis-cent of the clash between generationsduring the sixties, Speaker Gingrich tells theWall Street Occupiers to “take a bath.”There is a lot of name calling, but little lis-tening to the other side. There is no respect.

I remember other times. Shortly before hewas assassinated, President Kennedy was in-terviewed. He joked about Senator Gold-

water who was already considered the leading contender torun against him in 1964, a race that never took place. Aftersome jokes about the Senator, President Kennedy thenturned serious and spoke praises about Goldwater. Severalmonths later, after the killing of Kennedy, Senator Goldwaterappeared on the Jack Paar show. He told equally funny jokesabout President Kennedy with whom he had served in theU.S. Senate. Then he paused to recall the outstanding traitsof Kennedy.

Imagine that: Opponents for President, political “enemies,”showing love and affection for one another.

Recent Presidential elections have been much different.Opponents had to destroy Senator Kerry when he ran forPresident by spreading some truths, but many untruths abouthis time in the Navy. We also remember the slogan, “Bushlied, people died.” President Bush was seen as a “murderer.”

The higher level of campaigning shown by Kennedy andGoldwater was soon replaced in the negative spirit of thecountry after the Kennedy assassination and the escalationof the Vietnam War. The same Goldwater admired byKennedy was presented as a “war monger” by the Johnson

campaign. The opponents of Johnson began to scream afterthe ’64 election, “Hey, hey LBJ, how many kids did you killtoday?” The same Nixon who debated Kennedy in a series ofrespectful debates in 1960, later turned to dirty tricks and theWatergate plumbers in his second campaign in 1968.

Doesn’t anyone have anything good to say?

Bill Clinton was not my favorite President. Yet, I thought hewas the best eulogist ever. When he spoke about the deceased,tears flowed as he communicated the unique contributions ofthe person being honored. I remember when Clinton spokeof the contributions to the world of Richard Nixon at theNixon funeral. You would never have known that Nixon wasa member of the opposite party.

What has happened? How did political rhetoric and discus-sion deteriorate to its current low level?

I am an Independent as a voter, although I tend to prefer oneparty to another. Many times, however, I find members ofboth parties scoundrels. Yet, I clearly understand that PresidentObama is a highly intelligent, even gifted individual. I see theability of Governor Palin to work a crowd, to motivate withher words. I think that Senator McCain is one of the mostcourageous individuals ever. I admire our own CongressmanSherman as he and his staff work so hard to resolve constituentproblems. Yet, each of these is maligned and belittled by op-ponents.

It doesn’t have to be like this. There are numerous exampleswithin our heritage of exemplary individuals taking the extrastep to compliment rather than insult. Perhaps the most fa-mous example is in Rashi’s commentary on the character ofNoah. As you know, the Torah says that Noah was a righteousman “in his generation.” Most commentators seem to thinkthat these words come to point out the negative qualities ofNoah, that he was only righteous in comparison with thewicked of his generation, but had he lived in any other gener-ation he would not have been considered as righteous. ButRashi starts his commentary by pointing out the good in Noah,that these words in the Torah are for Rashi “for praise.” It wasa particularly praiseworthy thing to be righteous in such awicked generation.

In my own life, I had a Talmud teacher who found goodwords to say about every student. I remember one class whena student was called upon to read and comment on the text.He had not prepared. The teacher could have maligned the un-prepared student. Instead, the teacher listened patiently as thestudent fumbled his way in guessing at the meaning of the text.The teacher could have shown anger, but instead smiled andsaid, “That was an interesting interpretation that I neverthought of before.” The teacher went on to provide a more

“frequent” interpretation. He asked the student to take onemore look at the text before the next class and see what inter-pretation of the text he could reach with “one more look.”Few students have been more deserving of critical commentsthan that student, yet, the teacher remained positive. This wasan example of positive behavior that has stayed with me eversince.

Can we find the good to say about a person, even one ofour foes? Can we appreciate (or at least learn to appreciate)those we oppose, to acknowledge their strengths?

With all of the negative that is said, we have taught our chil-dren to disrespect the President. We also have the lowest per-centage ever stating favorable reactions to Congress. Thenegativity has bred a lack of respect for our leaders. Studentsdo not show respect for teachers. Teachers often show con-tempt for the students. Everybody seems to speak negativelyof everyone else. By the time Presidential elections comearound, the media has done such a number on each candidatethat most come to hate the candidate of the opposing party,and many come to hate both candidates.

We deserve better. We can be much better.

It has become fashionable to find no good words to say

about others. But this trend defies the examples of our tradi-tion, the tradition shown by Rashi and by my Talmud profes-sor, among others. We have the opportunity to see good, notbad, to have words of praise, not criticism.

Negative words tear at the fabric of our society. Words hurt.

I know I have lost my cool and hurled an insult or two, andmore, even toward individuals I otherwise like or admire. Asthe words left my mouth, I regretted what I said, but it wastoo late.

Watch your words. When you think something negativeabout someone, try to find the positive. Like Rashi, look forthe opportunity to praise, not criticize. Like my teacher, mo-tivate others through your words.

The right words can restore respect.

It is not enough to refrain from Lashon Hara. We can enrichothers with the right words.

Find the good in others. If you find the good, others willfollow. It will make the world a better place, a more enjoyableplace.

Words have power. Understand this each time you speak. Robert J. Rome, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist in clinical practice in Encino, California.

Wishing you a HAPPY CHANUKAH

Chanukah family favorites

celebrate with fi ne foods from Israel

frozen foods for the festival




When I was a youngster I couldn’t wait for the bright holidayof Chanukah to arrive. It was a fun-filled time. I knew thatmy family would hold its great get together. Uncles, aunts andcousins would come to my home where my Bubbie (grand-mother) was living. It was an exciting event to celebrateChanukah with so many people. The week before ChanukahYankel, the grocer, would deliver two 50 lb sacks of potatoesand a few gallons of cooking oil. During Chanukah it is a cus-tom to eat fried foods in oil to remember the oil that wasfound to light the Temple candelabra (during the story ofChanukah). My four brothers and four sisters would form akitchen brigade. Some of us had the job of peeling potatoeswhile others were busy grinding them. My sweet old Bubbiewould stand above the old stove burner with five burnersgoing heating up and frying the many potato patties calledlatkes. It was quite a chore feeding the many people that at-tended the Chanukah festivities.

Our family was third generation American born. In thisgreat land we were free to have as many children as possible.After all over a million children were killed in World War Twoand we felt it was our duty to replenish the world with largeJewish families. My uncle Yankel Yehudah had 10 kids plustwo boys who were adopted when they needed special careand a home. My other uncle, Peretz, would come with hisseven children and then the other uncles and aunts wouldcome together with their children and there were probably

some 50 or 60 children running around our little home inBrooklyn.

The highlight of the evening was when everybody lit theChanukah candles. We would gather around, sing songs, playdraidel (a Jewish spin top with Hebrew letters) and, of course,we would receive Chanukah gelt. This is a time honored tra-dition opf giving silver dollars or coins. We always looked for-ward to this event. During the evening of Chanukah thechildren played a guessing game trying to figure out whosecandles would last the longest. It took me a few years to real-ize that when I put the menorah (the candle holder) by thewindow it would burn brightly but only last a short time. Sincethe children placed the menorahs on the radiator not realizingthat the heat would radiate and melt the candles. Opening thetoys and packages was a great moment. For months we woulddrop hints to our dear parents suggesting to them all kinds oftoys that we needed to have. After all, Chanukah was a chil-dren’s holiday.

One year the following incident took place which changedmy life and the life of all our families. My father’s brother,Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht, uncle Yankel Yehuda came to ourChanukah party rather late. He told us that he had been onthe way home when he received a phone call from a hospitalto visit a colleague. Then the following took place. A nursestopped him in the hallway and asked if he had a minute tovisit the pediatric ward where there was a very sick little boy

CHANUKAH-Toys for

Hospitalized Children

who came from a poor family, had no visitors and had been hos-pitalized for quite a while. My uncle Yankel had the compassionof the whole world, a heart of gold and made time to visit thislittle fellow, cheering him up and wishing him a happyChanukah. As he was leaving the ward he saw a man dressed asSanta Claus arriving with a large bag of wrapped toys for Christ-mas distribution. The little boy started to cry realizing, or ratherthinking that he wouldn’t receive a toy as he was Jewish. Myuncle was flabbergasted. He quickly went down to the gift shopand immediately bought the boy a large fire truck and wishedhim a bright Chanukah.

Needless to say we were all saddened by this story and we feltthat something had to be done about other children in the samepredicament. At that happy Chanukah party a program waslaunched called “Toys for Hospitalized Children”. A committeewas formed between the uncles, aunts, and cousins and duringthe holiday hundreds of children were soon visited and toyswere distributed. Now Jewish children would feel the holidayof Chanukah.

One day my uncle read a letter from a sick child on his weeklyradio show. It went like this. “I am 9 years old. I have beenvery sick as long as I can remember. This year my family doctortold me I was getting weaker and weaker and I would soon stopliving. I felt so very sad. On Chanukah you came to visit meand made me happy. You brought me all kinds of toys andtried to cheer me up but I knew that you were doing this as amitzvah, a good deed. I thank you for all the games that youbrought. I am taking my toys and giving them to the sick chil-dren on the ward so they too can have toys and I will have amitzvah..” It has been 40 years that “Toys for Hospitalized Chil-dren” has been in operation. This year 25,000 toys are beingdistributed to children during the holiday of Chanukah. Theprogram has become non-secretarian, serving children from allwalks of life. My dear uncle Yankel has passed away but hisdream lives on. Every year his twelve married children, togetherwith their children and some of their grandchildren visit manyhospitals distributing gifts and bringing happiness to thousandsof the sick children.

The miracle of Chanukah was when a small group of people,led by a father, Yehudah Ha’Maccabi and his five sons, rebelledagainst the tyrant government that occupied the country we callIsrael. Today I see once again the message of how a father,Yankel Yehudah Hecht, and his five sons, my cousins, canchange the life of thousands. I know that when Chanukah ar-rives we can all bring light and joy to the children. We must re-member those who need our help and gifts. By helping otherswe truly celebrate the message of the holiday, a season of joycelebrating life for all. A happy Chanukah to all of you.

Let me get straight to the point. After all Yaakov did! Atleast when he dealt with his charlatan father-in-law, Lavan.You see, Yaakov wanted to marry Rachel, Lavan's youngestdaughter. He did not have the audacity to ask for her handin marriage straightforwardly, so when he arrived at Lavan'shome, and identified himself as the son of Lavan’s sister,Rivka, Lavan decided to offer his nephew Yaakov work. Hewould not have him work for free, so he declared, "Just be-cause you are my relative, should you serve me for nothing?Tell me - What are your wages?" (Genesis 29:15).The Torahtells us that "Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, ‘I will work foryou seven years, for Rachel yourdaughter, who is the youngest one.’"What is fascinating is the magnani-mous offer Yaakov made. He did notsay, “I'd like to marry your daughterand then work. He offered seven yearsof devoted labor before marriage.What is even more perplexing is theseemingly superfluous language in therequest. Why did he annunciate eachdetail about Rachel? Why ask forRachel, your daughter, the youngestone? Why not just one of the three?

Rashi tells us that Yaakov was afraid.What reason was there for mentioningall these detailed descriptions ofRachel? Because Yaakov knew thatLavan was a deceiver he said to him, "Iwill serve you for Rachel. If Lavanwould say he meant any other Rachel from the street, there-fore he said "your daughter.” Should Lavan say, "I willchange Leah's name and call her Rachel", Yaakov said "youryounger one."

It didn't help. In spite of all this, Lavan deceived him. Hesurreptitiously switched Leah for Rachel, excusing himselfin a mocking manner, "By us, in our place, we don't give theyounger daughter before the older one!" (ibid v. 26). But weare surely left with a lesson both in Yaakov's specificity andin Lavan's response.

Master storyteller Rabbi Ami Cohen tells the tale of thefamous and equally pious Reb Yossel Czapnik, who in hisunpretentious manner walked one day into a large yeshiva.He was unfamiliar with the workings of that particularschool, and as he meandered about the great study hall, hisChassidic garb and uncombed beard attracted some staresfrom some of the students who were not accustomed to

that sort of persona in their academy. Innocently he lookedat the bookshelves crammed with countless volumes of Tal-mudic and Biblical exegeses, picked up a volume, saunteredover to a chair toward the back of the study hall, and beganto study the book. A moment later, a tall young man toweredover him peering down through the narrow gap that sepa-rated his spectacles from his ruddy face. In a very sarcastictone he sneered, "In our Yeshiva, we do not sit in the Mash-giach's seat."

Reb Yossel looked up for a moment, and in his purenaiveté smiled, and agreed, mum-bling as he peered back down in thevolume, "by us as well." The fellowhunched over Reb Yossel and re-peated his statement, this time in alouder and more ominous tone. "Byus, we don't sit in the Mashgiach'sseat!"

Reb Yossel shook his head andacknowledged. "In our yeshivatoo!" By this time, the exasperated,young man changed his tactic. In asharp voice, he commanded. "Idon't know who you are, but youare sitting in the Mashgiach's seat!"

Upon hearing those words, RebYossel bounded out of the seat. Heturned to the fellow in authenticshock. "I was sitting in your Mash-giach's seat?” he asked in horror.

“Why didn't you say so in the first place?" Perhaps the ex-change that is portrayed in the Torah teaches us two lessonsat once. A person who requests something should be clear,direct, and accurate. Yaakov clearly stated his want, "Rachel,your youngest daughter." There should be no room for erroror an opening for surreptitiousness. Like Yaakov, you can'talways win, but you have to try your best with a most clearrequest.

In addition, if you don't want to accept the terms, say noright from the start. Don't deride your counterpart saying,"By us, we don't do it this way." Mocking the individual,while making him feel like an anomaly, is no way to explainyour position. Be clear, honest, and precise. You may dis-agree, but you will gain a lot more respect.

After decades of separation,Yaakov is about to meet Esav and tryto reconcile their differences. Inorder to prepare for the encounterYaakov sends emissaries to Esav. "Hecharged them, saying - "Thus shallyou say, 'To my lord, to Esau, so saidyour servant Jacob - Im Lavan garti,I have sojourned with Laban andhave lingered until now" (Genesis32:4).

Rashi explains on a simple level thatYaakov was stating that he becameneither an officer nor a prince. He re-mained a sojourner. Thus Esav hasno reason to bear ill will. Rashi thengives another explanation. He ex-plains that there was a cryptic mes-sage hidden within the words. The

word garti (Im Lavan garti ) has thenumerical value of taryag (613)mitzvos. Yaakov is telling Esav, "dur-ing my stay I have kept the 613mitzvos, and I have learned naughtof Lavan's evil ways." Why Yaakovsent that message to Esav is worth anessay in itself. What I question is thevery statement itself. Isn't it redun-dant? If Yaakov kept the 613 mitzvosin the house of Lavan then it is ob-vious that he did not learn from hisevil ways! Why repeat it?

A friend told me the following nar-rative: A visit to one of Brooklyn'sdensely populated Jewish enclaves isalways a challenge for the suburbanmotorist. Parking is at a premium andspotting a spot and getting to it

Jewish ObserverParshas Vayishlach


before another car does is one of the motorist's greatestchallenges.

On one visit I was fortunate enough to find a spot thatallowed my tiny car to slither into a spot that had no carwithin five feet in front of me or five in back. I parked,left the car, fulfilled my mission and returned to my caronly to see that it was now wedged between two vehicles.There was no way that I would ever maneuver my way outof the space! I was upset at the drivers who wedged mein like that, but there was no way out.

I decided to get into my car and wait until either the carbehind me would back up or the one in front of me wouldmove forward, allowing me to get my own vehicle out ofthe tight space. It was only a few moments before a manentered the car in front of me. I was relieved.

My composure diminished as I realized that he was notgoing anywhere. He had opened a newspaper as he sat inthe drivers seat and began to read. For a few minutes hejust sat and read.

I admit that my laziness induced me to act in an inap-propriate manner. Instead of walking out of my car, ap-proaching his and asking him to move, I tapped ever soslightly on my horn. I thought he would look at his rearview mirror and I would then motion for him to moveforward.

I was wrong. He stormed out of the car and berated mefor honking at him. I think he was speaking English. I amnot sure. In my home we spoke Yiddish and most of myEnglish I learned from the radio. Most of the words thathe used are not allowed on the radio.

After spewing his disappointment in my communicationskills, yelling that I had no right to toot my horn at him,he trudged back to his car, started the motor and movedup a few notches, allowing me to begin my departure. Butwhen he moved up, I was able to read his bumper sticker-- and that set me off.

It read, "Put the brakes on Lashon HoRah (Gossip)." Icould not contain myself. I shut my motor, walked out ofmy car and approached him. "Mister," I began with a sar-castic politeness, "for a fellow who is so worried aboutLashon HoRah, you sure opened up a mouthful!"

The man squinted his eyes in puzzlement. "I don't knowwhat you are talking about," he exclaimed. "In my conver-sation with you I did not speak one word of LashonHorah!"

Perhaps Yaakov's message to Esav is the message toeach one of us. Esav was no barbarian. The holy RebbeRav Simcha Bunim of P'shischa would say, Esav wore theRabbinical Garb as well!"

So Yaakov told him, I kept all the mitzvos. But thatmeans nothing. One can keep al the mitzvos, sway in thesynagogue with a fervor and rally against gossip. Unfor-tunately he can still learn from Lavan's devious ways.

Therefore, Yaakov's statement is hardly redundant. Weneed him to say both: I kept the mitzvos and did not learnfrom his crafty ways. We need to keep the codifiedmitzvos, but we also must make sure to keep the mitzvosthat are uncodified as well. We must not only keep thecommandments, we cannot learn from Lavan's ways.•

Philosophers have long struggled with the great questionof our freedom of choice on the one hand, and our beliefin a higher destiny on the other. Is life determined by fate,or do we enjoy genuine freedom?

Generally, Judaism would seem to subscribe to a personalfreedom in matters of morality, faith and the ethicalchoices we make in life. But when it comes to things likelife and death, and even health and wealth, much as wewould like to think we are in the driver’s seat, we do seemto be subject to forces beyond our control. Where we live,how long we will live, how comfortably we will live—theseare all in G‑d’s hands. Where we can and must choose iswhat kind of life we will lead. Whether it will be a G‑dly,righteous, upstanding, decent and honest life—this is upto us, and us alone. G‑d steps back to grant us the freedomto determine how good, how kind and how Jewish we will,or will not, be.

And Jacob lifted his feet and went on his way (Genesis29:1). This verse from our Parshah tells of Jacob’s journeyin his escape from the wrath of Esau. He was en route toHaran, where he would eventually establish his family andlay the foundations for the Jewish people. But why the cu-rious language, “And Jacob lifted his feet”? Does the Torahreally need to tell us that in order to move, we have to firstlift our feet? Was he stuck in a swamp or something?

So many of us look at our circumstances and shrug ourshoulders, “Nu, what can you do?” If we were born intopoverty or raised in a less-than-privileged environment,we resign ourselves to being doomed to failure. So manypeople have told me that they were part of the “lost gen-eration” of Jews who had no Jewish education or upbring-ing. Their immigrant parents were so busy surviving in anew world that they had no time or headspace to raisetheir children with the Jewish value system they them-selves had back in Europe. Tragically, these individuals feltthat, Jewishly, they were lost forever.

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (Chief Rabbi of the United King-

dom) tells the story of how, as a young philosophy studentat Cambridge, he traveled the world visiting great leaders.When he came to see the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Rebbeasked him what he was doing for the Jewish students atCambridge. He began by saying, “In the circumstances Icurrently find myself . . .” whereupon the Rebbe inter-rupted him and said, “No one ‘finds himself ’ in circum-stances. We create our own circumstances.”

Of course, there are times when we will find ourselves incircumstances beyond our control; but throughout life, wewill find ample scope and opportunities to improve ourown circumstances. G‑d gives each of us our own uniquequalities, talents and potential, and it is up to us to use anddevelop these gifts. Life is full of inspiring examples ofindividuals who have overcome disabilities and disadvan-tages of one kind or another. In the Jewish world, manyhave risen to prominence from the humblest beginnings.The Torah is the birthright of every Jew. We just have togo out and claim it.

The words of our Parshah are quite deliberate and well-chosen after all. “Jacob lifted his feet and went on hisway.” Some people follow their feet wherever they willtake them. No matter the direction, they simply coastalong, allowing their feet to lead them.

Not so Jacob. He was master of his feet and master ofhis circumstances. He set his feet on the right road, andbecame master of his destiny.

May we all be inspired to lift ourselves beyond our cir-cumstances.
