“RIGHTING THE PERNICIOUS WRONG OF HOLOCAUST HISTORY”

On Sunday, May 21, at 3PM, the Brotherhood presents a comprehensive look at the eye-opening and rarely told story of Jewish resistance to the Holocaust. “The sheep-to-slaughter narrative remains too dominant in discourse about the Holocaust,” says Lawrence Bush, the editor of Jewish Currents magazine, who will interview Mordicai Paldiel, the former long-time director of Yad Vashem's Righteous among the Nations Department. Paldiel was himself rescued by a “righteous gentile” and brings both an historian’s eye and a survivor’s passion to his work. He will speak about his encyclopedic new book, Saving One’s Own, Jewish Rescuers During the Holocaust, a book that aims to “right the pernicious wrong of Holocaust history,” he says. Complementing the interview will be the Jewish Currents traveling exhibit, “Resistance is the Lesson,” which combines striking historical photographs with words that testify to more than twenty campaigns of Jewish armed resistance to Nazism.

FROM THE BIMAH

Rabbi Yael Romer

Under the Heavens

or so many of us, nature is a point of entry for the Divine. With this in mind our Congregation embraces Jewish

experiences outdoors throughout the year. Once again this season unfolds, we have this opportunity. Throughout June, July and August we will be holding six of our Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat services (6/2, 6/16, 7/7, 7/14, 7/21, 8/4 weather permitting) outdoors in the State Park at the Senate House in uptown Kingston. Why outdoors? It affords our congregation an opportunity for a transformative prayer experience. The expanse of sky opens our hearts. The gentle informality of outdoor summer services helps us to connect with one another in a deeper way. The Sabbath and the natural beauty of the outdoors provide an exquisite opportunity for heightened meaning. Why the Senate House? It is an oasis in the middle of Kingston. The park is

peaceful, bucolic, and accessible for everyone. There is ample shade, the terrain is flat and there is bathroom facility at the State Park. A fence between the park and the road provides added comfort for families with small children. Many young families will come an hour before services to enjoy an informal Shabbat picnic dinner with their children. Why in uptown Kingston? It is one way we raise our visibility in the Kingston community. Being outside “It is best to…meditate in the meadow outside the city. Go to a grassy field, for the grass will awaken your heart.”

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

we welcome not only our own congregants, but those unaffiliated in the area who chose to join us and learn about our growing community. Following services, it has become a tradition, to continue on to one of the local restaurants to share a Shabbat meal.

F

Services will begin at 6:30. Prior to services there will be a Kiddush beginning at 6:00 with a light snack / hors d’oeuvres (pot luck cheese, fruit & crackers). Bring a beach chair or a blanket, bring a neighbor and a friend. Bring an open heart and a sense of adventure and excitement for how the practice of your Judaism can feel. "ו A fountain of blessings are you, holy one, my God, who does the work of

creation.” It is significant that for all of the major Jewish holidays there are three overlapping, compelling themes; spiritual, historical, and agricultural. The agricultural theme connects us to the earth, to the responsibility of good stewardship, and to gratitude and appreciation. On Tuesday, May 30th, Wednesday, May 31st and Saturday, June 3r,d our Congregation will celebrate the Festival of Shavuot. On Shavuot we recall the experience of matan Torah, receiving Torah from God and entering into the Covenant. Our tradition teaches that when Moses went up on Mount Sinai to receive the Law, the people remained awake all night at the base of the mountain, awaiting God’s word. In keeping with this inspiration, on Erev Shavuot it is traditional to participate in a Tikun Leil Shavuot, an all-night vigil of study. We’ve adapted this tradition in two parts, the

first being an “all-night” study on Tuesday May 30th from 10:30 PM to 12:01 AM. This year’s Tikun Leil Shavuot will be hosted in my studio space at my home in Rhinebeck. Everyone is welcome. In honor of Ruth and the holiday of Shavuot, we will be studying Jewish texts concerning “Treatment of the Stranger”. You can expect a real text study, a lively discussion, and fruit, cheese, and wine. We’ll all go our separate ways after midnight, and reconnoiter at Kingston Point Beach the following morning on Wednesday May 31st at 5:15 AM for a Sunrise Shavuot Service. There we will open to the majesty of our prayers with the backdrop of the sunrise and the power of the Brit. Finally, on Saturday June 3rd, we will celebrate Shavuot as we are led in a Sabbath Confirmation service by this year’s Confirmation class. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We are blessed by a creative, innovative, engaged Congregation. Participate and be open to what is possible. “Master of the Universe, Grant me the ability to meditate alone; May I be able to leave every day for the fields among the trees and grasses and every growing thing, And there may I be worthy to meditate

5

in seclusion and enter into conversation, My prayer between myself and my creator, To speak there all that is in my heart. And all the herbs of the field, and all the grasses and the trees, and all the plants- All will awaken at my call. And rise up and lend their strength and vitality to the words of my confession and prayer, Until my prayer and confession are utterly perfected by the weeds of the field

which take all their power, and life-force, and spirit to the highest root- All bound up in my prayer. And in this way, I shall merit to open my heart to be abundant in prayer and petitions, and in holy conversation before You who are full of Mercy. And before You I will pour out my words until I can pour out my heart like water before God, and lift my hands to You, for my soul and the souls of all who are with me.”

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

CANTOR BANTER Bob Cohen

Songs of the Partisans

s many of you who were there know, we had a very moving service in memory of the

Holocaust (Shoah) which featured relatives of our fellow member, Dr. Martin Miller, as well as our young folks from our religious school. I was honored to sing and play some of the songs from those horrific times. Songs that expressed defiance, courage, and, yes, even hope. I thought you might like to read some of the words to these songs – originally in Yiddish--to perhaps get a grip on what our relatives and ancestors suffered through and how some of them reacted with defiance. Two of the songs I first heard from Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson – both poems were written by a young Jewish partisan and poet, Hirsch Glik. Jerry Silverman in his “The Yiddish Song Book” --a quite wonderful collection of Yiddish songs from our families in

Europe—writes about “Zog Nit Keynmol – Never Say:” “When the April 1943 round up of Jews began, the Vilna-born poet Hirsh Glik escaped and joined the partisans. It was the time of the heroic uprising in the Warsaw ghetto and Glik was inspired to write this song. It soon became the official hymn of the Jew partisans. With the liquidation of the Vilna ghetto, Glik was captured by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp in Estonia. When the Red Army swept through the areas the following year, he escaped from the camp, only to be killed fighting the Germans in the nearby woods. He was twenty-four.” Paul Robeson sang this in Yiddish in the Soviet Union in 1946 and it is on a CD of his songs. ZOG NIT KEYNMOL (NEVER SAY) Never say that you have reached the very end Though leaden skies a bitter future may portend

A

7

Because the hour for which we yearn will yet arrive And our marching steps shall thunder we survive. This song was written with our blood and not with lead It’s not a song that summer birds sing overhead It was a people midst the crashing fires of hell Who sang this song and fought courageous ‘til it fell The other song by Glik that I grew up knowing and singing, I first heard from Pete Seeger: SHTIL, DI NACHT (STILL, THE NIGHT) The night was still and there were stars in the sky A bitter frost hung on the land Oh, do you remember how I taught you To hold a pistol in your hand. A girl, a jacket, and an old beret Such hope was shining from her eyes A girl with a face as smooth as velvet Took the invaders by surprise. A truck came rumbling through the forest With guns and rifles for the foe She quickly took aim and then she fired The truck exploded in the snow

She came at the break of dawn to greet us With flakes of snow upon her hair Her courage gave promise for tomorrow When freedom shall triumph everywhere. Another song we sang at the Yom HaShoah service at Congregation Emanuel was “Es Brent – On Fire” about which Silverman writes: “Born in Krakow, Poland in 1877, Mordechai Gebirtig wrote poems and songs mirroring the life of the Jewish people around him. With the German invasion of Poland in 1939 (the year I was born), that life turned into a horrible nightmare. Gebirtig himself fell victim to the Gestapo during a round-up of Jews in Krakow in 1942.” ES BRENT (ON FIRE) On fire, brothers it’s on fire! Oh, our poor little village is on fire! Angry winds are roaring, blowing Tearing, breaking and destroying Stronger still the flames are growing Ev’rything’s on fire! And you helplessly are watching As the flames go higher

8

And you helplessly are watching: Our town’s on fire (The last chorus, however, sings:) And don’t helplessly stand watching As the flames go higher We must quench the blaze, my brothers— Out town’s on fire! As Albert Einstein once said: “The Yiddish folk songs, why they are the most sincere, the most heartfelt I have heard anywhere.

They are the truest expression of the soul of a people.” And I would add that to hear them sung in the original Yiddish provides even a deeper understanding of their spirit. I would urge you to see a new series on the National Geographic channel about Einstein’s life titled: “The Genius”. It is beautifully acted and very inspiring about our great brother. He grew up as the Nazis were starting their campaigns against the Jews.

The Clever Congregant Joy M. Weinberg

Deborah’s Devotion For our occasional series, The Clever Congregant, Joy Weinberg sat down with Deborah Cohen, who has worked for 30+ years as a life coach (peacefulthundercoaching.com), helping people to make the change they want to see in their lives. Deb now with the Avatar organization to deliver courses on maximizing one’s human potential. Joy is managing editor of The Jewish Publication Society (the world’s oldest Jewish book publisher), and former 30-year managing editor of Reform Judaism magazine. Want to be interviewed? Contact joymweinbergeditor@gmail.com

eborah, you’ve coached people with very different kinds of life challenges—individuals

dealing with health issues, making a career change, expanding their business, rekindling their creativity, and more. Do you find that

underlying these differences, and differences among people in general, there are some commonalities when people feel they haven’t fully actualized the lives they wish to have? What are the most prevalent obstacles? Deborah: Absolutely there are commonalities. Why aren’t we writing that book, or cleaning our room/desk/garage, or dating, or following our diet/exercise plan?

“We should ask ourselves: What is fundamentally holding me back?” When we are trying to grow and develop in an area of life and can’t figure out why we can’t progress, the answer is always simple: In some way we are choosing to have it be that way… because it is serving a purpose for us. I know: No one likes that answer!!! But, if we are willing to

D

10

explore from that perspective, it opens up new possibilities and is quite exciting. We can ask ourselves: What is fundamentally holding me back? Might it be rage against my parents, or another unresolved past wound? Once we figure this out, we become free to explore, expand, and grow as human beings. That’s why I call my life coaching business Peaceful Thunder. In some areas of life we might have some peace and we don’t know how to be powerful, and in other areas we can thunder… and not know how to be peaceful. That dance is a beautiful journey. Joy: In other words, often the biggest obstacle people face in actualizing their life dreams lies within themselves? Deborah: Yes. The personal challenge is to be honest. It’s being willing to look at oneself and not anyone or anything else. It’s recognizing that no matter how responsible we are—and we are! —there are still areas in which we harbor victimhood. Of course, circumstances affect us, and we can’t always change our circumstances…but we can change how we are being in relationship with them. We can take

responsibility for the way our lives are going, and we can acknowledge the full human beings each of us are. We need to be able to accept ourselves…the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then, rather than being hurting, reactive, unconscious machines, we are fully human, conscious, and able to make choices. And, once we get to this place, knowing who we are, what we are up to, our strengths and limitations—and being willing to grow and develop… we can—and must—change our actions to fit the new human beings we have become. This is not talking therapy… this is action! It can be challenging…and that’s fine: Challenge is being alive! We can transform dread, fear, uncertainty, confusion into excitement and opportunity. Fun explorations, baby steps, allow us to stretch and grow. The challenge becomes worth it, because people intuitively know what is on the other side. Joy: I get the sense that your drive to transform dread into deed is also rooted in personal experience. What has been your Everest to ascend?

11

Deborah: My challenge was raising two boys as a single Mom. I had dropped out of fine arts at college to join the Hippie world of rebellion and social action. At first it was exhilarating. But the boys’ father, a brilliant professor, had problems and I left him to figure it out on my own. That wasn’t easy. I was poor; he couldn’t support us at that time. I became a midwife, put myself through nursing school by cleaning houses, got my Master’s in Nursing, and then became a nurse. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, and like everyone, regret some choices… but to accept myself and others, and similarly all my life experiences, the good, the bad, and the ugly, was a great achievement. My goal when I left was that our family would remain whole. And, I am pleased to say that today the father of my children and I are incredibly close and good friends. Rick [Mahler], my sweet life partner, and I have stayed in the home of Jon and his wife! We are an extended family. Creating that took something! That is who I am for the world. Joy: Among the seminars you have taught at Landmark is

Living Powerfully. I think I’ve experienced some of that Living Powerfully energy in your presence as you co-led the Temple’s last Social Action Committee: It was the most intense, focused, and concrete-action-driven meeting I’ve ever attended in my nearly 35 years in Jewish institutional life! Is this part of what it means to live life powerfully? And, if so, how might we cultivate living powerfully for the aim of tikkun olam? Deborah: Thank you! Co-leading the Social Action Committee is still a dance for me. Am I being too controlling? Am I being gentle, kind, and compassionate? Am I allowing for self-expression and still getting the work done? My guidepost in this dance is to answer with integrity. My parents, who were labor organizers, started me on this path. They taught my brother and me that we could be stripped of all worldly goods until we are left with nothing but our word—AND our word means nothing unless we live up to it. We learned not to believe in anyone’s inspiring words but to wait and see if the actions followed. Similarly, while running TE’s Social Action meetings, I am out

12

to produce results in the world—changes in public policy, protection for immigrants, and much more. I welcome everyone’s input in producing results, and at the same time my primary motivation is not for everyone at the meetings to express themselves; otherwise I would lead the meetings differently. I am my “word” in this matter. Joy: How does your Judaism, and in particular your involvement with Congregation Emanuel, inform your work? Does life coaching support your Jewish identity or observance or connection to the Temple, or vice versa? Deborah: Oh yes! I particularly love Torah study with the Rabbi. We discuss the nature of being human, and I learn to hone my own truths. Rabbi inspires me. She is about action, and leads from her Jewish ideals. She teaches, “Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof, Justice Justice You shall pursue,” words that kindle my soul and light me up every day. I fell in love with her on a trip to Israel, and she is why I came to Emanuel. Of course, falling in love with Rick helped too!

I am not religious; I am spiritual and find a home in my own blend of philosophies and teachings. I enjoy the melodies and rituals of many religions… and we do a beautiful service at Emanuel. I do love Jewish communal life, and am glad I have returned after 40 years away! I am profoundly proud of being Jewish, and committed to making the Jewish presence felt as a force for good through Social Action, in our community and beyond. Other Voices “As Arjuna in his chariot finds himself arrayed against forces that are familiar to him—his cousins and his friends and his teachers—he stops. “Krishna says to him: You can never hope to untangle the circumstances that have brought you to this moment.”
