WASHINGTON (JTA) — Proposed legislation from a prominent Democratic senator would ban U.S. assistance to Israel from being used to annex parts of the West Bank.

The amendment to a funding bill introduced last week by Sen. Chris Van. Hollen, D-Md., a member of the foreign operations subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, would not allow aid used to “deploy or support the deployment of United States defense articles, services or training to territories in the West Bank unilaterally annexed by Israel after July 1, 2020, or to facilitate the unilateral annexation of such territories.”

Other notable members of the Democratic caucus sponsoring the amendment include former presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

AIPAC is vigorously opposing the amendment.“It’s dangerous to weaken Israel’s defenses, especially as it faces unprecedented threats,” the Israel lobby wrote

Monday in a message to its activists. “An amendment in the Senate restricts where Israel can place lifesaving missile defense systems like Iron Dome.”

Van Hollen in an online conversation last week with J Street, the liberal Jewish Middle East lobby, said he was con-sidering such an amendment as a means of expressing displeasure with plans by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex parts of the West Bank while not touching Israel’s overall defense assistance, which amounts to $3.8 billion a year. A number of progressive Democrats in the House and Senate have said they want to reduce or eliminate aid to Israel if it goes ahead with annexation.

“The U.S.-Israel relationship “will continue to be unbreakable in the sense the United States will always stand up for the security of the state of Israel,” Van Hollen told J Street. “There is a difference between ‘We’re not going to provide assistance if there is annexation’ and saying ‘The dollars of the United States cannot go toward unilateral annexation.’ It’s important to draw the line with respect to those dollars being used to advance unilateral annexation.

J Street came out this week in favor of the Van Hollen amendment.

This story first appeared in the Cleveland Jewish NewsVictims of anti-Semitic or extremist hate or harassment in

Ohio now have another avenue for recourse, thanks to the Anti-Defemation League’s Cleveland office.

The launch of the Ohio Legal Assistance Project allows victims to use attorneys on a pro bono basis to seek civil litigation.

“We view it as our job to ensure that hate and bias does not go unchecked,” James Pasch, regional director of ADL Cleveland, told the Cleveland Jewish News. “Victims have the ability to make themselves whole after their experiences either on or offline, and they should have the right to pursue civil remedies.

“On top of that, it’s also crucial to send a message to the perpetrators of the hate crimes that their actions will not be tolerated and that the full extent of the law will be used.”

The project was launched on July 27 and was born cre-ated through a collaboration between the Cleveland office

and ADL national office.“When it comes to potentially expanding out, our hope is to provide support to victims of

hate crimes of extremism across the nation,” Pasch said. “We’re starting here in Ohio and we will see how things go. This is a first-of-its-kind ADL pilot right here in Ohio.”

Pasch said Ohio was chosen because of a more than 150% rise in anti-Semitic incidents of assault, vandalism and harassment across the state and also 53% of American adults now report experiencing some form of online harassment.

“There just comes a time when it’s incumbent upon all of us to take a step back and say, ‘What else can we do to help the victims of anti-Semitic acts, extremist attacks such as ‘swatting’ and vandalism, and victims of assault for who they are?’ This is a tool that can be incredibly useful,” Pasch said. Swatting is reporting a false emergency at the home of a vic-tim in order to prompt a law enforcement response, usually a SWAT team, to the residence.

Criminal courts are important, he said, though civil courts not only provide for monetary settlement, but help in other ways.

“If there’s a specific target of a vandalism or a specific target of a physical assault, that police report generates a criminal investigation and then hopefully in many cases, a crimi-nal indictment and a criminal conviction, but victims of those crimes also have a right to bring a civil remedy,” Pasch said. “Victims often don’t bring civil cases either because they

are unaware of their ability to do so, or they’re not inclined to have to first go out and hire an attorney, so the idea we are providing an opportunity for them to pursue their claims by matching them with an attorney on a pro bono basis is significant. It’s at no cost to the individual.

“Civil remedies have the ability to try – you can never make a victim whole necessarily because you can never undue the hate crime that occurred. But a civil remedy has the abil-ity to provide some form of justice, and maybe at times, some form of deterrent. Many civil cases are not settled at trial, but they’re settled outside of a courtroom. And when you have that ability, it also allows for things like mandatory education and community service, and all of those things that can be worked into any type of settlement agreement. There’s the monetary part of settling agreements, but there’s also the non-monetary that could come into play.”

Victims can include individuals, family members, businesses or organizations that have experienced harm.

ADL’s Ohio Legal Assistance Project will operate out of ADL’s Cleveland office.Cases the ADL may take on are anti-Semitic vandalism; extremist-motivated violence;

severe and pervasive harassment or stalking on or offline; swatting, or the reporting of a false emergency at the home of a victim in order to prompt a law enforcement response; civil rights violations; defamation; and/or privacy violations.

“Extremists are also taking advantage of COVID-19 to spread their hateful ideologies here in Ohio,” Pasch said.”Enough is enough. We must be using all tools at our disposal, including

JFS Food Bank Needs Your Help

Federation Food Bank

4 | JFS

HEATHER HERSHEY-TOMPKINS

JFS Director

The Jewish community has always had some hardships and needs, but nothing like it is now during this pandemic. Request for food and supplies from the food bank has reached record highs in the last couple of months. Jewish Family Services is grateful that they have been able to meet the demands of the Jewish community. However, Jewish family services could not provide these services to our clients without the community’s generous support. Every year Jewish Family Services assists with the annual kick off of the community’s contribution to the Federations food bank during the High Holy Days. The federation food bank provides food and supplies to families, children and individuals that would otherwise go hungry. Anybody can be in need of emergency food and supplies, there is no one type of person who goes to the food bank. It takes courage to admit you can’t feed your family or yourself, so food banks are usually the last resort after they have

tried everything else. Our food bank gives food and supplies to people in the community, but it goes way beyond that. Support and assistance with the crisis is also provided when you visit the food bank. Jewish Family Services is in need of non-perishable food items, toothbrush/toothpaste, laundry detergent/dishwashing soap and household cleaners.

However, this year our greatest need is for paper products such as paper towels, napkins, Kleenex and toilet paper. Our clients who receive food assistance cannot buy these products with their food card. Jewish Family Services under-stands that going to the grocery store can cause some challenges such as not enough supplies on the shelves, limited ability to purchase certain items and exposure to the coronavirus. So if you’re not able to get to the grocery store, but would still like to contribute to Jewish Family Services during the High Holy Days, a charitable donation can be made to Jewish Family Services and mailed to 432 30th St. NW., Canton, OH 44709 or drop off at the building during the desig-nated dates and times. All the non-perishable food items, cleaning supplies, paper products and money that is donated to Jewish Family Services will go directly to our clients. If you would like to make a donation the grocery cart will be placed outside by the side door at Beit Ha’am throughout the month of September, Monday through Friday at 10 AM to 12 PM. Please use this opportunity to give a monetary donation or drop off paper products and food items throughout the month of September. Jewish Family Services has always been blessed during these holidays with many generous donations that are able to help our clients for several months. Also, Jewish Family Services wants to thank Fisher Foods for their generous donation of paper grocery bags. So if you’re wondering how you can help others in this community, this is one way. The Federation food bank thrives with your donations. L’Shana Tova to all.

Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) was a poet, a musician, and a complex mixer of the sacred and the ordinary. His life was a combination of wandering and journeying between traditions, always rooted in the Judaism of his Montreal childhood while taking him around the globe in search of wonder and meaning. One of Cohen’s works, “Anthem,” is quoted as a sidebar to the Yom Kippur liturgy in the Reform machzor (High Holy Day prayerbook) Mishkan Hanefesh. That citation includes the song’s refrain:

Ring the bells that still can ringForget your perfect offeringThere is a crack, a crack in everythingThat’s how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen wrote “Anthem” almost thirty years ago, and his words remain a timely and appropriate reminder

as we enter 5781. We live in an imperfect world that is filled with imperfect people who together possess the capacity to heal ourselves if we would commit to seeing and doing things differently.

We are experiencing a reality we could not have imagined last Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and the difficulties we are enduring (and will continue to face) are unprec-edented. Still, we do not postpone the observance of these Days of Awe. We do what the Jewish people have been doing for millennia – we adapt and re-interpret an ancient tradi-

tion in the light of new experiences and circumstances. We say the traditional words and sing the familiar melodies, and sometimes we listen to poets like Leonard Cohen. This year we can find comfort in his interpretation of our imperfection.

We do what we can do not despite the pain of the world, but because of it. We bring the offerings of our hearts not despite our flaws, but precisely because we are all damaged in some way. And we celebrate the start of a new year because it is through the cracks of the year now ending that we can see the lights that continue to shine. We cannot be renewed without moving ahead, and we can only move ahead when we resolve to carry the shat-tered pieces of ourselves in ways that foster growth. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, even when physically apart, give us time and space to ring our bells, bring our offer-ings, and reveal our shared humanity in pursuit of healing.

The world has always been broken, and it will always be our mission to find and fill the cracks in service to something greater than ourselves. It is only through the acknowledgment of our own flaws that we can seek for-giveness from others and begin the year ready to let in the light.

September Already!Wow...September. The months are flying bye quickly.

It seems like just last week I began my “social dis-tance “ yard visits, but in reality it has been over four months. I’m still continuing first time visits and I have seen some of you a second time.

This month Jewish Family Services is collecting for the food bank. You will find the list of special needs on page 4. Since there are no services in the build-ing you will have to drop them off at the designated times. If you have questions call me at 330-445-2412 or Chelle at 330-445-2850.

The High Holidays will be here soon. I’d like to wish all of my dear friends a happy and healthy New Year. I’m sure many of us will be adding special prayers for our country, our health and the health of family and friends and also our return to “the good old day” of hugs and kisses.

I miss you, Lynda

Temple Israel to offer online Intro to Judaism class beginning Wednesday, Sept. 2. The class will meet eight consecu-tive Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. via video conference. Taught by Rabbi David Komerofsky, this course introduces the basics of Jewish thought and practice. Interfaith couples, non-Jews considering conversion, and Jews looking for adult-level basics will find it meaningful. A mix of study, discussion and practical experiences, the course is designed for those interested in exploring a Jewish life. Topics include Jewish holidays, life-cycle events, theology, prayer, Israel, and history.

“The only prerequisite is curiosity,” said Rabbi Komerofsky. “This course brings ancient ideas and practices to life in a progressive context. The richness of Jewish life in all of its diversity is a gift that is available to anyone who chooses to accept it. Whether Jewish by choice, by accident or both, it’s never too late to learn.”

The course is open to all, no prerequisites, just your curiosity. This course can count towards the classwork component for the conversion process with Temple Israel for those taking the class locally. Register online at https://tinyurl.com/IntrotoJudaismTI.

The Chadash high holy day experience has evolved over the years, and this year, during the time of Covid-19, it is yet again taking on a new shape and form. Chadash students are all invited to take part in Temple Israel’s family services regardless of synagogue affilia-tion, and this year Chadash will be providing holiday themed programming instead in order to best serve our students and compliment the religious experience.

For Rosh Hashanah, students are invited to participate in an apple crisp baking class being offered on Thursday, September 17th at 4:00 pm On Chadash’s Facebook page. We feel this sweet for the New Year dish will help our students be involved in some of the preparation for their at home holiday meals the following evening when Rosh Hashanah begins. Preparation for holidays, after all, creates an ambiance of elevating an experience and making it all the more special.

Ingredients for the apple crisp will be given to each Chadash family participating as long as they RSVP with Chadash director, Julie Zorn, by September 9. ([email protected])

For Yom Kippur, Chadash students are being invited to participate in a Jewish edu-

cational experience called Torah Godly Play with the story of “Jonah and the Whale.” Torah Godly play is a nationally recognized story telling method used to enhance a child’s sacred experience by creating a sacred space. Typically done in person with a “Torah-telling” circle, we will recreate this experience virtually on Zoom.

As part of the Torah Godly Play experience, students will be invited to express their reactions to the liturgical story through creative exploration. In this case, each student will craft responses with the use of Play-Doh which will also be provided with an RSVP by September 9th to Julie Zorn. The “Jonah and Whale” Torah Godly Play experience will take place on Sunday, September 27 at 10am. Zoom log in details will be provided with your res-ervation.

We hope that each one of our Chadash students will be able to participate in both of these exciting new offerings, and we hope that their participation will help offer them a meaningful and holy High Holy Days.
