Rabbis Message

President Obama
The Inauguration of President Barack Obama for the second time was an extraordinary moment. While the President's Inaugural Address articulated values which some might dub as "liberal," or "progressive," he framed them more correctly as American values. They are the values that have driven him through his life, and informed his career in public service. When he stood at the podium as the keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he recited the same inspiration that he repeated in his address at this inauguration: "We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Economic protection of the poor, and the weak, and those who are aging; and social and legal protection of those who are gay, those who are female, those who are new to American shores; these do not threaten our nation's stability, our President observed, in fact they make America stronger. For President Obama, all this is "self-evident." Now it is our job to bring it to fruition. Small miracles. . . . Within the ongoing string of celebratory inaugural events, there was one very small, hardly noticeable moment that happened to catch my eye, but which for me was one of the most moving of the whole day. At a certain point during all the toasts being offered at the end of the Congressional luncheon, the President got up to shake the hand of one of the speakers. As the President returned to his seat, the waiter who was assigned to stand behind him, an African American, I'd say in his early 70's, quickly and gently held the chair and helped Mr. Obama back into his seat, quietly smiling as he did so. Can you imagine what must have been going through the mind of that man at that moment? What has he seen in his life? What has he experienced? And now he has the privilege of helping the President of the United States into his chair - a president whose skin color is the same as his. The confluence of momentous events that day was extraordinary. On the very day dedicated to the memory of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation and 50 years after Dr. King's March On Washington, an African American - a black man - has taken the Oath of Office as President of the United States for the second time. At his 2004 DNC Keynote Address, the then Senator Obama talked about "the genius of America" as growing out of its "faith in simple dreams," and its "insistence on small miracles." In June of 1969, perhaps it would have seemed to be a small miracle beyond the possibility of realization for those men at the Stonewall Bar in the Village, that a President, in his Inaugural Address, would demand equality for gay Americans. When the fire hoses and dogs were unleashed in Selma, was anyone imagining a day like this Inaugural? Perhaps for those women in 1848 at Seneca Falls, the sight of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi at that Inaugural Luncheon podium couldn't even have entered their minds. (I might add, if I may, that when I used to sit upstairs in shul as a little girl; well, you know. . . .) For us. . . . Some events are less noticeable than others. But I would suggest that miracles are never small. If we are to take anything away from that awe-inspiring day of the Inauguration of our President, it is to believe in the possibilities of democracy, and the possibilities within ourselves. The world looked on as our dream of human liberty and freedom played itself out in all its splendor. In the course of human progress, we can look upon it as a miracle - a product of human rationality, indeed, but a miracle just the same. We wish our President well, and all those who participate in governing our country. May all of us continue to grow and prosper together. -Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman 2

A permanent principal can craft a multiyear curriculum huge step toward improv- deepening students Jewish learning as they mature, build on whats working in ing the quality and quantity the classroom and form strong bonds with students and their families. of youth programming around here, for kids of all ages. Union Temple is hiring a Director of Youth and Family Engagement, a totally new position for us, to start no later than July of this year. Our new Director will supervise and grow the high school and pre-Bar/Bat Mitzvah youth programs we have now, and develop new initiatives. This could include a college connection, to keep in touch with our young adult offspring, and possibly an 8th grade program, similar to confirmation classes of years past.

I have to say, the Youth Group, in only its second year, has been an eye-opener. The focus on social action delivering food to homeless on the streets, lobbying in Washington for progressive causes, assisting the elderly has struck a chord with teens and parents alike. Now, even without a youth leader (and we are close This person, a professional to filling this position, too), the parents have stepped up magnificently to keep Jewish educator, will, first the program going. The new Director will provide another level of supervision of all, serve as Principal of and support for this key component of Temple life. At the other end of the age spectrum, the Director will take charge of programming for little kids. We are into our second year with PJ Library, a nationwide initiative partnering with Union Temple to send Jewish-themed books and CDs to neighborhood kids from 6 months to 8 years old. We have a Friday Tot Shabbat (Fridays at Four) and are launching Out of the Shabbox, an arts-based activity session for toddlers and parents on Saturday mornings. What great opportunities to showcase the Temple, introducing a whole new set of families to our world-class Preschool, ramped up Hebrew School, deeply enriching Bar/Bat Mitzvah study and the whole community. Making these connections will be a major focus for our new Director. Many thanks to the Religious School and Preschool Committees for working out the particulars of this position over the past year, and especially to Lorri Gumanov and Faye-White-Willinger who, with Rabbi Goodman, crafted the job description that will land us our first Director of Youth and Family Engagement. This is going to be major. -Bea Hanks, President 3

The Ornament of the World

Imagine a time and place where Jews, Moslems and Christians were neighbors contributing together to a great community and culture. An optimistic view of Brooklyn today? poetic culture and architecture of Cordoba were so splendid that it became known as the ornament of the world. Unfortunately for Cordoba, that golden age didnt last. An invasion of far more fundamentalist Moslems (yes, back then, too) from northern Africa led to the caliphate splitting into many rival city-states. And not just military rivalries, but rivalry in the greatness of their culture and architecture and economies.

A sprawling history, the book covers about seven and a half centuries, from the beginnings of the Cordoba caliphate to the fall of Granada, last of the Moslem cityNo, having just read states, and the expulsion in 1492. Along the way, we meet many leading Jewish Maria Rosa Menocals figures, and discover Jewish military generals and poets reviving the Hebrew lanThe Ornament of the guage for secular writing many centuries before the birth of modern Israel.

An Invitation: Student Cantor Lauren Phillips Recital

The Jewish people have always known what it is like to be strangers after all, the Torah reminds us four times that we were strangers in the land of Egypt. Although our plight as strangers has brought our people much oppression and exclusion, it has also contributed to the uniqueness of Jewish culture, music, and art. In exile, we were spread amongst communities across the globe, which allowed us to combine our Jewish identities and customs alongside regional influences. When the Zionist movement took root in the early twentieth century, these different ethnic styles of Jewish music began to converge in the Jewish homeland, leading to the creation of a brand new style of music. In particular, folk songs began to emerge as a manifestation of the bold and carefree pioneering spirit of Eretz Yisrael. Although some of these folk songs incorporated elements of popular European musical styles, the Zionists sought to create a musical genre that was different from what anyone had ever heard before. These folk songs became such an integral part of early Zionistic culture that they were used as promotional tools for encouraging Jewish resettlement of Palestine. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Jewish National Fund distributed postcards with some of these folk melodies embossed on them. By printing these postcards, JNF sought to make Jews in the Diaspora aware of burgeoning opportunities for freedom and discovery in the new Palestine. The postcards attracted the attention of German musicologist Hans Nathan, who sent letters to several of the most distinguished Jewish composers of his time with the hope that they would arrange several of these pieces for piano and voice. Composers like Kurt Weill, Darius Milhaud, Stefan Wolpe, Aaron Copland, Paul Dessau, and Ernst Toch, Menashe Rabinowitz, and Erich Walter Sternberg were commissioned to write one or more compositions for what became known as the Postcard Project. Each composer placed his personal stamp on these distinctively Israeli pieces, thereby demonstrating his own relationship with Israel and with Judaism. The thesis that I have submitted as part of the requirements for my ordination in May, called A Stranger Here Myself: The Postcard Project as an Exploration of Twentieth-Century Jewish Musical Identity, is focused on the lives and works of the composers involved in creating these folk song arrangements. On Wednesday February 20th at 10:45am in the chapel at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, 1 West 4th Street in Manhattan, I will present a recital that celebrates the culmination of my research and my upcoming ordination. It will include selections from the Postcard Project and other works by these composers, both Jewish and secular. I invite you all, and hope you can attend. The program will include a sampling of early compositions that these composers wrote while living in Europe, including arrangements of Yiddish folk melodies and adaptations of Biblical texts. I will also be presenting some of their liturgical works, many of which were specifically commissioned to bring people into synagogues to hear new Jewish music by famous secular composers. Most of the composers involved in the Postcard Project eventually settled in the United States, and the final segment of my recital will examine the dual influences of their Jewish and American identities on their work. Just as these composers all arranged Israeli folk themes, many of them especially Copland and Weill also integrated American folk melodies into their art songs, operas, and musicals. Exploring secular and liturgical works in tandem with the postcard arrangements will offer a more complete sense of the lives and work of these renowned composers. Of particular interest will be how their position as strangers in their countries of origin affected their rise to artistic prominence. Overall, my thesis and recital examine the ways in which the Postcard Project demonstrates several important concepts: The fusion of music and identity amongst Jewish composers, the differing attitudes towards the resettlement Eretz Yisrael, and the continued development of Israels national identity. This spirit is captured in Israels music, both past and present. I sincerely hope that you will join me on February 20th to see these ideas in action. -Lauren Phillips 6

No Painting These Kids into a Corner

visits to the Brooklyn Museum. The children participate in seven units that span the school year. As part of this program, our fours classes, The Hummingbirds and Puffins, are currently working on an artist unit; "Learning from the Masters". The children have learned about and have been inspired by Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Mary Cassatt's artwork over the past few weeks. Kristen, our Brooklyn Museum educator, visited Union Temple and taught the children about Picasso's "Blue Period". She demonstrated and then had the children mix different shades of blue by combining different amounts of white and green paint. The children then painted a Blue period- inspired piece using the new shades they created. They also did a similar project with Picasso's "Rose period". They made different shades of red by combining different amounts of white and orange paint. During their museum visit Kristen showed the children Picasso's "Woman in Gray" and Josef Albers Yellow Squares. It was a great experience for the children to see a painting come alive and experience a Picasso in real life! As a culminating project, the classrooms will create their own art museums displaying the artwork they created. Parents will be invited in for a special viewing. -Susan Sporer, Preschool Director ---------------------------------------------

What a Year its Been So Far!

What a year weve been having in Religious School! As you may remember, in addition to Hebrew studies, weve been focusing on the American Jewish Experience. Our strategy has been to highlight significant accomplishments by American Jews that have helped make this nation great. Wit has been gratifying to see the children coming to realize that America, indeed the entire world, would be a very different place were it not for the ongoing contributions of its Jewish citizens. Some examples of birthdays that we have celebrated, and the lessons we derived from them include:

When the birthdays of Curley Howard (Three Stooges) and Gummo Marx (Marx Brothers) fell just a day apart the next week, we talked about the ability of humor to help cope with personal challenges, such as poverty, immigrant status, and anti-Semitism. We also got to laugh a bunch at some hilarious movie clips that are every bit as funny today as they were seventy years ago. On the anniversary of the dedication of the statue of Liberty, we learned about Emma Lazarus and learned from her example about the Jewish expectation that we reach out to welcome the stranger in our midst without hesitation. The first Sunday after Hurricane Sandy we celebrated the birthday of Ruth Messinger and learned how Judaism has driven her to such heights in her work with the American Jewish World Service. For the week of Veterans Day, we admired the accomplishments of Jewish veterans from the American Military. We also highlighted the career of Union Temples own Colonel David Mickey Marcus. In the beginning of December, when Otto Preminger, Ira Gershwin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. all shared birthdays in the same week, we hit the Porgy & Bess trifecta (Preminger the director, Gershwin the lyricist, and Davis one of the stars), which led to a discussion of the personal Jewish understanding of the oppressed, and the inner need to speak out so others can listen. For Steven Spielbergs birthday we explored the value of preserving our stories for future generations. We also learned about the good works of his Righteous Persons Foundation. For Eliezer Ben Yehudas Birthday (the first non-American catalyst to a weekly theme), we talked not only about the rebirth of spoken Hebrew, but also about the awesome power of language itself. When addressing the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we focused on the Reform Movements own Rabbi David Sapperstein and the Religious Action Center, with special attention to the RACs invaluable contributions to the cause of civil rights. What has tied each of these weekly themes together, besides the fact that they have all been fun and interesting, is that they have provided ways for us to dig deep into Jewish lessons of virtuous behavior. Thanks to the examples provided by these outstanding Jewish Americans, our children are inching (running?) closer and closer to becoming mature and responsible Jews themselves who value and are committed to the Jewish call for righteous behavior as described in the texts, histories, and traditions of our people. Our students make us proud on a consistent basis. LShalom, -Dr. Andy Dubin, Religious School Principal

When Ralph Lauren and Isaac Mizrachi shared a birthday one week, we learned about the irreplaceable contributions made by Jews in the American fashion industry and in our own Citys Garment District. We also discussed the myriad of ways each of us might express our multiple identities to the world.
