August/September 2013Ellul/Tishri 5773/4

It’s 4.15 on a Tuesday morning. The car park of The Liberal Synagogue Elstree is busy—busier than it was the previous Friday evening or Saturday morning! The nine members of the 2013 Kabbalat Torah group and various of their parents are gathered to embark on the annual trip to Berlin. Around forty hours later they are back again, having covered many miles of the German capital’s streets and its underground system to see a variety of sights and sites of Jewish and non-Jewish interest. Congratulations to Lauren Bennett, Robin Bernard, Stefan Brady, Jacob Cavendish, Zak Jackson, Ryan Peltz, Taryn Peltz, Jack Walton and Jonah Zur for taking part, and also to Susanna Fantoni and Rebecca Davey for helping Rabbi Pete to keep them all under control (and keeping him under control!).

The Almost Legendary KT Trip to Berlin

(after 9 visits and more than 60 participants, surely it’s acquired legendary status now!)

The ‘apology’ was offered by the High Priest on behalf of himself and his family, the priesthood and the whole Israelite people. The sins of all these were symbolically placed upon the head of a goat (the scapegoat) that was despatched into the wilderness, to carry those sins away, allowing the Israelites to look forward to the Sukkot celebrations with – they hoped – a clear conscience. This ancient priestly ritual is referred to at the very heart of the day of Yom Kippur. In Orthodox services, it is related – to some extent even re-enacted – during the musaf (additional) service, where the words of the High Priest are recited and many congregants respond as did their ancient ancestors – by prostrating themselves before the open ark, which symbolises the

The High Holydays are especially early this year, with Rosh ha-Shanah falling in the first week of September!

Last year, you may recall, we tried an experiment: the Additional Service, which is an uplifting, inspiring and thought provoking journey through the history of the Jewish people, featured as the main service on the morning of Yom Kippur. This was to ensure that it was experienced by a large congregation rather than the few who are invariably left in the building once the Morning Service ends.

This year the Additional Service will be returned to its traditional place, as an addition to the Morning Service, which means it will run from approximately 1.30 until 3.15pm on Yom Kippur afternoon. I know that a number of people found the readings and music of the Additional Service particularly moving: might I suggest that if you prefer this to the traditional order of the Morning Service, you plan your Yom Kippur a little differently, arriving at Clore Shalom in time to experience this

wonderful service.

It its original formulation, Yom Kippur had a very specific role in the life of the Ancient Israelites. The biblical significance of Yom Kippur is described in detail in chapter 16 of the book of Leviticus. As the concept of divine reward and punishment became a feature of the developing relationship between Israel and its God, a sense emerged that the autumn rains – requests for which were a feature of Sukkot celebrations – could be withheld by the divine power if the people had sinned in some way. In order to protect against this potential catastrophe, a day of repentance was introduced into the calendar shortly before the full moon of the seventh month - the day when the Sukkot celebrations would begin.

This was effectively a national apology to God, asking that any sins be forgiven ahead of the annual request for rain.

Holy of Holies, the heart of the Temple to which only the High Priest had access. The Liberal version of the musaf service makes reference to this ancient rite but only as part of the development of Judaism, acknowledging that it belongs firmly to Judaism’s ancient past and is not something that Liberal Jews wish to see reintroduced.

As those who experienced it last year may recall, the Liberal version of the musaf service does much more than just remind us of how our ancient ancestors observed this solemn day. It presents a history of Creation, the birth of humanity, the emergence of the Jewish people from that human family, and the relationship between the Jews and that larger human family

through the ages

It invites and encourages us to consider our relationship with our God and our heritage. At the heart of the service, where the question of that relationship is considered, the text reads as follows:

‘As we look back upon our past,

of bitter suffering, nobly endured,

of stubborn survival, defying the patterns of world history

of creative achievements and world-transforming influences,

We wonder: What are we? What is the role assigned to us?

Did God choose us? Did we choose God?

Or did God choose us because we chose God?

There is a mystery here which reason cannot solve, nor cynicism dismiss.

We can deny it, or we can humbly recognise it

and each of us resolve to be a part of it, saying to God: Hinneini, Here am I, send me.’

If that is a question that appeals to you as we approach the challenge of our annual encounter with our past on the High Holydays, then I strongly recommend to make sure you organise your Yom Kippur to ensure that you are in shul between 1.30 and 3.30pm on Saturday 14th September.

I wish you a thoughtful, uplifting and inspiring New Year.

s;Borehamwood Foodbank|Sue WoolfSuccoth sees the next stage of TLSE’s involvement with the foodbank which opened in Spring this year. What better time to launch our food collection. A suitable container will be placed in the lobby to receive your donations of non – perishable food. Frontline professionals such as doctors, health visitors and social workers identify people who are struggling to feed themselves and their families due to sudden crises or very low incomes, and give them vouchers to exchange for three days of food.Donations from some of our bar/batmitzah families were set aside to help with initial stocks of food. Now, most of the food is donated by the public through collections outside supermarkets and at churches and synagogues in the area. It is sorted, packed and distributed by volunteers. The Borehamwood Foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust, a national charity. Representing TLSE, I was invited to the official launch at the end of June. There I met the volunteers who come from all religious backgrounds and none.

Some members will be aware that the congregation is sponsoring me to attend the Ba’al Tefillah course run by Liberal Judaism. You may be interested to know what you are getting for your money but perhaps Mike Walton, TLSE’s first participant, is your best source of evidence. I cannot promise to reach his standards of service taking, nor to take a regular Friday evening service, but it is useful to have his example as something at which to aim.

The course theoretically started in January but due to the snow the introductory day was postponed for a month. Although those of us from London could have easily made it to the Montagu Centre, the challenge of getting from the further flung congregations in Edinburgh, Norwich, Eastbourne and Bristol justified the change. Seventeen of us started out on the day, although one has subsequently dropped out. We are a mixture of men and women and an age range from (I’m guessing) in

our twenties to seventies. Our range of Jewish and Hebrew knowledge and the Jewishness of our upbringing is variable but we all share a willingness to be involved in our congregation’s services and a desire to improve the standard of our participation. Most of us have already made some attempts to lead at least part of a service.

The course is run by Rabbi Richard Jacobi, Rabbi Sandra Kviat and Robin Samson, a previous Ba’al Tefillah participant. The basic structure is as follows: firstly the introductory day and the giving out of the first module, which looks at the content of the Shabbat evening service. This is followed by a further catch up day at the Montagu Centre in April and the second module which looks at the content of the Shabbat morning service, with module three concentrating on the Torah service. In June we went on the Residential weekend.

I confess to approaching the weekend with a mixture of excitement and

Ba’al Tefillah by Tina Shawanxiety. I checked out with Mike Walton for clues about the weekend and he gave two comments. Take a jumper; it was cold and it was fun. He was right about both. Writing this in the midst of the heat wave it is hard to remember the wind and rain at the end of June but it did not deter me from a quick walk in the parklands which surround this Quaker retreat just west of Birmingham, slightly spoilt by the distant roar of the M5, but enhanced by good home cooking and simple comforts.

Unfortunately only twelve us made it to the weekend but they were twelve interesting and good natured people with a variety of backgrounds and styles. The programme started with an introductory session, letting us know what to expect, Kabbalat Shabbat, Erev Shabbat service, oneg and song session for those still able to keep their eyes open. Saturday’s programme started with a Torah Shiur, Shabbat morning service and after lunch and a much needed break, Shabbat afternoon service and Havdallah.

11

In between we fitted in individual tutorials, coffee breaks and feedback to other participants on the parts of the services we had volunteered or been persuaded to take.

Saturday evening proved to be the highlight for me, both in terms of fun and in terms of learning. Robin Samson, who is also involved in the acting profession, led a session on presentation. This required us all to read out to the assembled group who made helpful comments on our style. I need to make more effort to look at the congregation and to relax. Warming the voice is also desirable and if you pass me driving to TLSE one morning and see me making strange grimaces, or making strange noises, try not to worry. It’s only the warm-up exercises to prepare the voice and face!

Those who had sat up till the early hours appeared a little bleary eyed at Sunday breakfast but we

all made it to the morning service, in which we again participated. After the service we had the opportunity to read out our pre-prepared Divrei Torah (commentaries on the portion) in small groups, with feedback from the group. There was an interesting variation in the way participants tackled this task, ranging from the more academic approach, to the feminist, but the main learning point was to help us appreciate what a wealth of possibilities arise for comment from each weekly portion.

After out final goodbye session, we journeyed back to our respective congregations reflecting on an exhausting but thoroughly worthwhile experience, which we will hopefully be putting into practice in congregations around the country.

For my own part, my targets are to ‘develop myself as an independent thinker and service leader, to lead a whole service

and to read from the scroll.’ Those of you who have been congregants when I have been leading services recently will doubtless have your own comments and I would welcome constructive feedback. I know I have a long way to go before I am able to read from the scroll, and I know I enjoy researching and delivering mini Divrei Torah. We have two more modules and another day session to go before the course is completed, followed by a decision as to whether we are ready to ‘graduate’ at the biennial.

I hope I haven’t put you off if you are considering joining the next course. There is a small amount of written work, and certainly some time needs to be given to studying but the amount of time is very individual. The course so far has been very enjoyable and hopefully the congregation will ultimately benefit from my efforts.

Mazel tov to Rosita Rosenberg who will be celebrating a special birthday on September 2nd,

being acknowledged at a service in her honour on Saturday 31st August.

After Hitler’s rise to power in January 1933, observers started to question what would become of Jews in Germany. Not willing to take any chances, the UK Jewish community formed the Central British Fund for German Jewry (CBF and precursor to World Jewish Relief) to come to the aid of Jews looking to escape from Germany. The CBF was founded following a meeting of UK Jewish community leaders with Members of Parliament. They constituted the most well-connected men in the UK Jewish community: Simon Marks, chairman and managing director of Marks & Spencer, Sir Robert Waley Cohen, managing director of Shell Oil, Lionel and Anthony de Rothschild, managing partners of N

M Rothschild & Sons, and Dr Chaim Weizmann, who would later become the first President of Israel. The original purpose of CBF was clear: to get German Jews out of Germany and into the British Mandate for Palestine. CBF raised £250,000 in its first year of operations (£16.8 million in today’s money). To fulfil a requirement of the British government that immigrants to British territories be financially secure, CBF helped fund organisations such as the Hebrew University, the Technion and the World Maccabi Union so that these organisations could provide immigrants with the skills and experience needed.

In 1935 Simon Marks went to America to talk with the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).

Together with JDC and other organisations, CBF created the Council for German Jewry.

In 1938, the events of the Anschluss, and the infamous Kristallnacht, spurred the Council into action. Thousands of new refugees now looked to emigrate. The Council persuaded the UK Home Office to admit Jews regardless of financial situation, and consequently 68,000 Jews registered before the start of war. CBF worked with Save the Children to establish the Inter-Aid Committee, which helped 471 Jewish and Christian children go to boarding schools in Britain. Yet the leaders of CBF were still convinced that they needed to do more.

In November 1938, CBF established the Movement

for Care of Children from Germany, and a huge fundraising appeal was launched. Together with the Christian Baldwin Fund, the Movement raised £545,000 (nearly £29 million today), and identified thousands of families from across Britain to host Jewish children during the war years. The programme, known as the Kindertansport helped to bring 10,000 children to Britain.

Life was not easy for the Kind in Britain, who often suffered from the cold, isolation and culture shock of adjusting to their new lives. Many were placed in Christian families though CBF ensured that children received a Jewish education.

The CBF kept up services for the Kind after the war. The charity set up and financed the Jewish Committee for Relief Abroad to help administer aid and support to Jewish survivors of Nazi-occupied areas. In 1947, Movement children were

granted British citizenship, and CBF helped file claims to recover refugees’ families’ property. In addition, CBF supported hundreds of orphaned children in their relocation to Britain after the war and set up a community centre in Belsize Park – the Primrose Club – to assist their transition to ‘normal’ life.

After World War II the CBF continued to help Jews around the world. In the 1960s the CBF helped evacuate Jewish refugees from Hungary, Algeria and Czechoslovakia and in the 1970s provided support to Jews evacuating Syria as well as vulnerable communities living in USSR, Portugal and even communities as far as India. The collapse of the Iron Curtain in 1989 marked a turning point for Soviet Jewry and for the CBF, which shifted its focus to helping over 2 million Jews living there. Welfare services such as soup kitchens, food parcel schemes, and meals-on-wheels began.

Homes for the elderly, day centres and the rebuilding of Jewish life through educational programmes, and community centres would come later and are an essential part of the work WJR do today.

In 1994 CBF changed its name to World Jewish Relief (WJR) to reflect the support it provided worldwide. Today, WJR continue to assist vulnerable communities both Jewish and non-Jewish across the world affected by poverty and during times of need. WJR now support welfare programmes in over 24 countries, reaching over 184, 000 people. WJR is proud to be in its 80th year, celebrating its history and the incredible achievements which have made a difference to the lives of individuals around the world.
