Rabbis Message Women of the WallWomen Of The Wall. . . . Women Of The Wall (WOW) is an organization of Jewishwomen who have been demanding their rights as Jews to pray at the Kotel HaMaaravi the Western Wall in Jerusalem a piece of the retaining wall that once surroundedthe Temple Mount. To Jews the world over, the Kotel is considered to be the holiest sitein the world; or at the very least, a site of profound historic significance. The membersof WOW, of which I am one, represent all streams of Jewish life: Reform, Orthodox,Conservative, Reconstructionist, and all age groups and socio-economic and profes-sional backgrounds. The group is now in its 21st year.

WOW and the Supreme Court. . . . After a long battle, the Israeli Supreme Court rejected WOWs petition forclearance to pray in groups right up at the Kotel. Instead, the court presented WOW with a compromise, if youcan call it that. Every month on Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the Hebrew month, WOW is permitted togather as a group to conduct Shacharit, the Morning Service, but not right up at the Kotel. Instead, the groupmust stand at the back of the plaza in the women's section. The women may not wear tallitot, and may notread from the Torah in this location. When the time comes in the service to read the Torah, they must leave

the Kotel plaza, and walk around the barricade down to a nearby archaeological excavation site under Robin-sons Arch. Its still in front of the Kotel, but the area is separated from the plaza, and thus the women are nei-ther audible nor visible to anyone in the main Kotel plaza. Once there, the women put on their tallitotand be-gin the Reading of Torah. (They bring their tallitotto the main Kotel plaza in bags, and smuggle in theirTorah in a duffle bag.)

The Kotel: An Ultra-Orthodox Synagogue? . . . . The Kotel has a rabbinic overseer, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovich,who is an Ultra-Orthodox rabbi. Rabbi Rabinovich views the Kotel as an Ultra-Orthodox synagogue. Thus allthe rules that would apply to such a synagogue apply to the Kotel. There are separate sections for men andwomen, divided by a mechitza. The womens section is significantly smaller than the mens. Women are ex-pected to maintain modesty in their dress when they approach the Kotel. Bar Mitzvahs and celebrations of allkinds take place among the men. There are none on the womens side. There are soldiers and police through-out the area to ensure the security and safety of visitors, and to enforce the rules of the Kotel.

The arrest of Nofrat Frenkel in November. . . . This past November, on Rosh Chodesh Kislev, Women ofthe Wall arrived at the Kotel at the appointed time with a new Torah scroll. This scroll had been commis-sioned by Women for Reform Judaism, and presented to WOW at the Biennial Convention in November.One of the Women of the Wall opened the duffle bag while still in the main plaza to peek at the new Torah.In addition, she put on her tallit before the appointed time while they were still at the back of the mainplaza though she had it under her coat. The woman was Nofrat Frenkel, a fifth-year medical student fromKfar Saba. Ms. Frenkel belongs to a Masorti congregation (Israel Conservative Movement). For wearing thetallitand reading the Torah at the Kotel plaza, Ms. Frenkel was arrested, taken to the police station andbooked, and charged with a felony, which carries a six-month prison sentence and/or 10,000 shekel fine. Her

case is still pending.The interrogation of Anat Hoffman in January. . . . Anat Hoffman is an attorney, a former member of theJerusalem City Council, the current director of the Israel Religious Action Center of the Israel ProgressiveMovement (Reform), and one of the driving forces behind WOW. In early January, Anat Hoffman wasbrought in for interrogation in connection with her agitation on Nofrat Frenkel's behalf, with the possibility ofalso being charged with a felony for performing religious acts that would offend the public.

Why not Robinsons Arch? . . . . The Robinsons Arch area is an archaeological excavation site. It is not thesite that is familiar, and identified the world over as The Kotel. It is isolated and potentially hazardous. Atthe main Kotel area, both the mens and womens section have chairs for those who need to sit down. There

are no chairs (there is not even a place where a chair would fit) at Robinsons Arch. Though I have prayedwith WOW on several occasions, last March, when the Womens Rabbinic Network joined WOW on RoshChodesh for WOWs 20th anniversary, I could not join them. I had had foot surgery not long before, and therewas no way I could walk there, or for sure stand there for any significant stretch of time. I was terribly disap-pointed, but I had no choice. Forcing WOW into that area is clearly an act of relegating the women to second-class status. This is unacceptable.

Civil disobedience. . . . On the wall of Anat Hoffmans office at 13 King David Street in Jerusalem (the grounds

of Hebrew Union College), there hangs a small photograph of Rosa Parks as she was being fingerprinted afterbeing arrested for refusing to relinquish her seat on a bus to a white man. Parks act of defiance sparked theMontgomery Bus Boycott, leading to the eventual integration of Montgomerys buses. In an interview, Anatholds up her own finger, blackened by the ink of her fingerprinting. Its a sad moment, Hoffman lamented.In fact the stain is not just on my finger. The stain is on Israel. . . that yesterday, a nice policeman and I had towaste our time, to ask all these questions, so that he could start a file against me as a felon. And Hoffman con-tinues. . . If everyone keeps quiet, I could be accused of performing a religious act that offends the feelings ofothers. If we raise hell, which I hope we do, and say that this is intolerable - that the Western Wall has becomean Ultra-Orthodox synagogue, completely out of jive with whats happening in the world today, then I think per-haps the Attorney General will think that prosecution is out of place.

Our response. . . . Several weeks after Anat Hoffmans interrogation, Rabbi David Saperstein of the Reli-

gious Action Center in Washington conducted a conference call for the Reform Rabbinic community, alongwith Anat Hoffman and Gilad Kariv, the Associate Director of IRAC, also an attorney. They discussed thislatest affront to WOW within the larger context of the recent stepped up efforts on the part of the Haredim tosuppress all expressions of Jewish life except their own, particularly in the City of Jerusalem. Rabbi Saper-stein, Anat and Gilad, urged us to in turn urge our congregants to respond to this affront, or at least formulatesome gesture of solidarity. The following are the suggestions they put forth. If you would like to discuss themwith me, please call or write. All non-Orthodox expressions of Jewish life in Israel are on the line.

1) Send a letter of protest about the arrest of Nofrat Frenkel and the interrogation of Anat Hoffman to the Is-raeli Ambassador to the United States: THE HON. MICHAEL OREN, EMBASSYOF ISRAEL, 3514 INTERNATIONALDR. NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20008.2) Send an additional letter to the Israeli Consul General in New York: THE HON. ASAF SHARIV, THE ISRAELICONSULATE, 800 SECOND AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 100173) Order a tallit from WOW and/or contribute to WOW. You have seen the pink embroidered tallit that Iwear, with the names of the four matriarchs embroidered into the corners. The tallit also comes in white withgold trim, and white with silver trim. Each comes with a matching tallit bag.The website for ordering tallitot and making contributions is: http://womenofthewall.org.il/wordpress/donate/. Or, you may order by mail. Send a check for $275 made out to WOMENOFTHE WALL ($250 forthe tallit and $25 for shipping), and send it to IRAC - KAREN SAAR, PO BOX 31936, JERUSALEM, 91319, IS-RAEL. Please specify which color tallityou would like.4) Contribute to the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) and/or sign up for regular E-bulletins from the or-ganization. IRAC stands up in Israel for all kinds of social justice issues, out of Reform Judaisms teachingson social justice and our responsibility to pursue Tikkun Olam, the reparation of our world. http://www.irac.org/7) Communicate with the local Federation, and make it clear that the continued funding of the Ultra-Orthodoxcommunity to the detriment of the non-Orthodox streams is unacceptable.8) Sponsor a study session, or Rosh Chodesh celebration, or similar gathering, in solidarity with WOW duringthe next month.

The Kotel belongs to Jews - all Jews - wherever we may live. If you agree, I hope you will participate in lib-erating it from the right-wing extremists who would seek to keep the rest of us out.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

March 21, at 10 AM. Along with sharing Passovergoodies and recipes, we'll be featuring a special guestwho will speak to us on a subject that affects all ourlives. Curious? Watch this space and your mail for de-tails. And then, Saturday, April 10, we are having ourpopular Sisterhood Shabbat. The Service will be fol-lowed by a mouth-watering luncheon and an excitingspeaker. It's another event that's not to be missed.

We look forward to seeing you at these and all futureprograms. All are welcome, but we hope that you'll be

with us as a member. If you haven't joined yet, not toworry. It's as easy as writing a check for $36 to Sister-hood of Union Temple, and mailing it to the templeoffice. Double chaithat's all it takes to join your handto ours as we reach out to help our temple, our commu-nity, and our world.

Sisterhood wishes everyone a happy Purim. May thecourage of Esther inspire and bless us all.

Weve always wanted Union Temple to be a place thatis accessible and welcoming to all. Recently, at thesuggestion of members like you, weve made twochanges in our Friday Shabbat Services. I wanted to

make sure you know about them. First Friday Family Shabbat: This Shabbat is

aimed at making it easier - and more fun - for fami-lies with young children to enjoy Shabbat and relaxwith friends. Before the 6:30 service, we providesnacks for both the kids and grown-ups. The serviceis short, lively and kid-friendly. After, we enjoy apot-luck dinner featuring homemade dishes alongwith store-bought contributions from those of us toobusy to cook. Plus, childcare is available all eveningfor those fidgety tots who want to run around.

Fourth Friday Shabbat Dine & Discuss: The

changes in this service derived from the idea thatmany of us would like to attend a service at 8:00PM but dont have time to come home from work,eat, and make it on time. So on the fourth Friday of

each month were inviting you to join us for a din-ner at the temple at 7:00 PM celebrate Shabbat at8:00 PM, and then stay for a dessert oneg andstimulating member-led discussion. The dinner willbe catered to make it easy for all and we ask forsmall contribution to cover the cost. Of course, ifyou prefer, you are welcome to skip dinner and justjoin in the service and discussion.

Please join us for these special Shabbatot. And, if youhave any ideas for programs you would like to enjoyat Union Temple, let us know.

Brotherhood invites everyone to join usat our next meeting on Sun-day, February 7 at 10 AM, when wewill have a book discussion about the

novel The History of Love, by Brooklynauthor Nicole Krauss. New York Maga-zine has described the book as a signifi-cant novel, genuinely one of the yearsbest. Old Leo (a new entry in the Jewish-lit canon) nurses the loss of his true love,as well as his only sona famouswriterand his own great manuscript.Krausss novel is emotionally wrenchingyet intellectually rigorous, idea-driven but with indelible charactersand true suspense.

Its hard to believe that its February already and spring (we hope)is not far behind with even more events, including another bookdiscussion, Brotherhood Shabbat and Mitzvah Day. Details willcome soon but we hope that you will join with us for these verywonderful events.

Brotherhood A History of Love Donate toHelp Haiti

A severe earthquake measuring7.0 on the Richter scale devas-

tated Haiti on January 12, 2010.

This is the most severe earthquaketo hit that impoverished country in200 years. The death toll is ex-pected to reach hundreds of thou-sands with millions left homeless,and it will likely be many days un-til the impact is fully known. The

epicenter was near the capital ofPort-au-Prince.

As in the past, the Reform Jewishcommunity has a long history ofgenerosity when natural disastersdevastate communities around theworld. Your generosity at this criti-cal time enables us to play a role in

recovery efforts and to bring healingand hope to those whose lives havebeen affected. Donations to theUnion for Reform Judaism Haiti

Kaskeset Brings the Sweet Sounds of

A Cappella to Union TempleThe evening outside was cold but inside Union Temple after Shabbat service last month the feeling was

very warm as the Binghamton Jewish A Cappella Group Kaskeset performed in front of a packed audi-

ence. They sang a wide variety of Jewish and world music, and for many, it was a very moving experience.The group is made up of students

from Binghamton University's Hil-

lel Organization. Union Temple

was one of the stops on their tour

over the winter break.

UT members showed their hospi-

tality and appreciation by housing

members of the group while they

were in New York. Thank you to

Jannette and Peter Gomori, Rabbi Josh and Betsy Minkin, Andy

Mirer, Rebecca Reich, Zeva Ro-

schko, Jeff Stein and Denise Wax-

man and Stephanie Steinberg .

We hope that the group will make

Union Temple a regular part of

their tour.

Preschool The Rising of DawnThis year we welcome a wonderful new staff memberto our preschool. Dawn Saunders is our designatedfloater, which means she works in different class-rooms as the need arises. Although this is Dawns

first year on staff, she has worked as a substituteteacher for the preschool for several years.

Dawn moved to the United States in 1989 from Belize,where she completed an associates degree. She comesfrom a family of eleven children. Being a member ofsuch a large family, Dawn had plenty of experiencehelping her parents with her siblings. Prior to joiningour staff, Dawn ran a child-care program for four yearolds for several years. The program operated out of ahome in Park Slope. She also ran a summer camp pro-

gram for several years. The program was for three tosix year olds and incorporated gymnastics and artclasses.

Although Belize is a free country, Dawns careerchoices were limited there. Women generally go tocollege for business administration, while men go intosuch fields as engineering. She says moving to this

country was one of the best things her mom allowedher to do, and she feels like she really came into herown as a result of living in the USA.

Dawn enjoys going to the movies and having dinnerwith friends. She also plays softball, sings and cooks.Dawn lives in Lefferts Gardens with her husbandDwayne and her seventeen-month-old son Myles.

Dawn brings a wealth of wisdom and warmth to thepreschool. She is a kind and wonderful person and weare very fortunate to have her working with us!

Purim is celebrated on the 14th of Adar on the Hebrewcalendar. This year Purim begins on Saturday night,February 27. We will be celebrating at Union Temple atthat nights service with the reading ofMegillat Esther,

the Book of Esther. The celebration will continue onSunday with a Purim carnival in the Religious School.

There are four mitzvottraditionally fulfilled on Purim:listening to a recitation of the Story of Esther, contrib-uting gifts to the poor, sending gifts of food to friendsand celebrating with a festive meal.

Purim is often thought of as a holiday only for children.We dress in costumes, make a lot of noise with the grog-gerto drown out Hamans name, and eat hamentaschen,the triangle shaped traditional Purim cookie. The adult

aspect of the holiday is the tradition to drink wine to thepoint of intoxication where a person does not know thedifference between cursing Haman and blessing Mor-dechai. This custom of intoxication and loss of the ca-pacity to think clearly is not something that Judaism gen-erally approves of. In addition, the story of Purim is fullof deception, intrigue and vengeful killing.

The early founders of the Reform movement were un-comfortable with this holiday. They understood therole of Jews and Judaism to be a light unto the nationsand a holiday that portrayed Jews as a beleagueredpeople living in a hostile environment was not a causefor celebration. Objectionable parts of the story wereeliminated from the reading, and the holiday wasdownplayed.

Studying the Book of Esther in a modern context cangive rise to many interesting questions. We glorify

Esther, but doesnt Vashti, the independent wife ofKing Ahashuerus have heroic qualities as well? Theletters of Esthers name are similar to the word mean-ing hidden in Hebrew. Hiding, disguise and mis-

taken identity are key themes in the book. Is there aconnection to the glaring absence of Gods name inthe Book of Esther? Is God hidden too? The role ofcoincidence, fate and luck is also prominent. The wordPurim means lots. In the story, Haman randomly drewa lot to determine when to destroy the Jews. These de-cidedly adult themes are hidden behind the boisterousPurim celebration and some food for thought whileyou munch on your hamentaschen.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Family

Shabbat/ Religious School Service onFriday night,

February 5 and at the Purim Service on Friday, Feb-ruary 27. If anyone is interested in helping preparefor the Purim carnival on Sunday, February 28please contact me at [email protected]. Aspart of the special Purim tradition to give tzedakah anymoney raised at the carnival through the sale of cou-pons will be donated to the Haitian Relief Fund at theUnion for Reform Judaism. Religious School will beclosed for vacation Sunday, February 14 and 21, re-suming on Sunday, February 28. On a personalnote, I will be delivering my Senior Rabbinical Ser-mon, Gifts from the Heart, at Hebrew Union Collegeon Thursday, February 18 at 10AM and I would behonored if you are able to attend.

A RemembranceBy Lenny Shiller

A big boned man took me by the hand,We were off to Marine Park in our 53 sedan.

Oh that Plymouth with the Hy-Drive tranny,That we made it anywhere was truly uncanny.

We flew a kite and shagged flies this day,Trip to Coney Island, five cents on the subway.

A ride on the Carousel cost merely a dime,One nickel on weekdays secured a fun time.

He was an accountant to the garment trade,Balancing the books was the living he made.He helped his wifes good work when retired,

for very many years until she expired.

Then reading the papers became his behavior,As vision failed, the radio was a savior.

But never a compliment did he ever give,Hard to please he stressed the negative.

This made me work harder in all aspects of life,Perhaps success comes from such strife.

Now that hes gone theres much to reminisce,Brooklyn memories a kid should never miss.

Milton Shiller,

July 26, 1911 December 14, 2009
