Friday Night: Is there Jewish Theater?

Join us as we read scenes from 20th century Theater and consider what makes a Jewish play. This is your chance to be a star – you might
even get a starring role.
Shabbat: The Written Word – the Archetypical Jewish Art Form
The Jews have always been the people of the Book – the Torah being unquestionable the central book of Jewish life. However,
can we look at our seminal texts as artistic as well as halachic or historical? We will look at traditional texts and consider their
astonishing artistic merit.
Shabbat (during kiddish/lunch) : The Power of Jewish Art
We will examine a work of the Jewish artist Mauryci Gottleib, who, in spite of being the victim of anti-Semitism in 19th Century Poland,

 Off The Bimah...

On November 18th 42 members of Women of the Wall, a group which has gathered at the Kotel for the last 21
years and is comprised of Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist and Reform women assembled in the
women’s section at the Kotel for their monthly observance of Rosh Hodesh. It was a cold, Jerusalem morning.
Some were wearing tallitot hidden under their coats; a sefer Torah was in its regular bag. Surprisingly, there was
no booing, no pushing, and no shouting from within the women’s section or from the men’s section. On other
occasions, the Women of the Wall have been accosted both verbally and physically by
haredi worshippers.

Just moments after the women removed the sefer Torah from its bag, two men
entered the women’s section and began abusing them. The women simply wanted
to conclude their prayers peacefully so they decided to skip the Torah reading at the
Kotel and move as they’ve done on every other Rosh Hodesh to read the Torah at
Robinson’s Arch, their alternative site. As they exited Nofrat Frenkel, a medical
student whose family has been long time members of a Masorti (Conservative)
congregation, was carrying the Torah. A policeman met the group and began forcefully
pushing Nofrat toward the nearby police station. The women pleaded with the police and tried to explain that they
we were on their way to the alternative site. Their pleas fell on deaf ears. Nofrat was transferred for questioning
to a police station at David’s Citadel. Her tallit, siddur and a sefer Torah were all she had with her. Nofrat was
banned from visiting the Kotel for two weeks, and a criminal file was also opened against her; one which may
jeopardize her medical studies.
Nofrat’s arrest caused a firestorm in Israel. A mass rally was held in downtown Jerusalem protesting her treat-
ment by the police and calling for end of haredi domination of Jewish religious life in Israel. Many who support
the call for religious pluralism in Israel hoped that the arrest of Nofrat Frenkel was an anomaly, a tragic error
which would never be repeated. But then one short month later another member of the Women of the Wall was
detained by the Israeli police. This time it was the group’s leader, Anat Hoffman, who also serves as the Director
of the Israel Religious Action Center. Anat was questioned by police, fingerprinted, and told that she might be
charged with a felony for violating the rules of conduct at what is considered Judaism’s most sacred site. Anat’s
detention by the police and the threat of being charged with a felony for the crime has only demonstrated that
religious freedom and pluralism will not be easily attained. It will require a prolonged, concerted effort by those
living within Israel and in the Diaspora - most especially by those of us living here in North America – after all,
Israel is our Holy Land too.

I am delighted to announce that we will have the rare opportunity to hear about the Women of the Wall,
Nofrat Frankel and the fight for religious freedom in Israel from none other than Anat Hoffman. Anat will speak at
CBI during Shabbat morning services on May 1. Please join us and hear from one of the leaders on the
front-lines of the effort to enable all Jews to worship freely in the Jewish State.

 A From Our Hazzan!!!

When I first met my brother-in-law to be, Chris, we didn’t have much to talk about. We were born and raised
in different parts of the country, received appreciably different educations, and had lived much different lives.
One obvious quality we shared was our love for Amanda; but even that was a tenuous commonality as our
respective relationships with her were so vastly different that it barely constituted common ground.
Over dinner, we talked politely and exchanged pleasantries but never developed any meaningful conversa-
tion. Though discouraged with our lack of bonding, I remained hopeful of finding a connection.
Knowing that Chris was a guitarist, I had brought my flute on the off chance we would have a chance to play
together. As it happened, one of Chris’ band members, Flo—another guitarist—was there. After dinner, as we
all sat in the living room, the two of them took out their guitars and began playing through their repertoire of
old jazz standards.
As I listened, I assembled my flute, hoping to join in. I did not recognize the song
they were playing but was able to follow the chord progression well enough to
improvise a solo. When it came to the end of Chris’ solo, I motioned with a subtle
a nod of the head that I would take the next solo. Without any hesitation, Chris shifted
from soloist to accompanist as if we had been practicing regularly. As I completed my
solo, I cued Chris again with a subtle nod that I was finished and Chris finished the
number by returning to the melody. Throughout the night, we continued to play
through the band’s songbook—rarely speaking, yet intimately communicating.
How could two people, with so little in common, who just moments ago were unable
to develop a meaningful conversation, now play music together with the ease of a well
rehearsed ensemble?
Among jazz musicians, there is a longstanding tradition of ―standards,‖ a multitude of songs that everyone
knows. There are well-known chord progressions and melodic motifs musicians use to create improvised solos.
There is a culture with a language that those in the jazz world share, and use to express themselves and commu-
nicate with each other.
As a Jewish people, the Torah is one of the essential shared aspects of our tradition. Within a single syna-
gogue, there will be people with interests, hobbies and political perspectives that differ from one another. We
come from different ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. Yet the Torah belongs to all of us. As we
read from it each week, as Jews have done for centuries, we recount our people’s history and values. We see
ourselves in the narratives, finding joy in our ancestors’ exploits as well as sharing in their sadness and shame,
hoping that we can do better.
At CBI, it is our custom to have congregants read from the Torah each Shabbat. This gives us all not only an
added opportunity to take a leadership role in the service, but also a chance to take part in the telling of our peo-
ple’s history as we see it unfold.
I recently held two courses at CBI on Torah reading, one for beginners and one for advanced readers. It gives
me great pleasure to work with people of all levels ranging from those who have never read to our most experi-
enced readers looking to refine their skills. I plan on holding more such classes in the future. In the meantime,
my office is always open to those who would like to learn.

 From Our Education Director

Shavuot was the first holiday that I celebrated in Milwaukee. Almost immediately upon coming into CBI, I saw flyers for
Tikkun HaIr’s Glean Machine, an effort to collect clothing for those in need. I remember being very impressed that the
congregation is involved in a community-wide effort to participate in one of the lessons learned from the story of Ruth.
I thought then, and still think today, that this is a great way to help celebrate the holiday of Shavuot. It continues to impress
me that CBI participates in this effort.
Shavuot has become one of my favorite holidays. I do not remember learning much about Shavuot as a child (although I am
sure that I did) since it often falls after Religious School ends for the year. As an adult, however, I have really come to love
the holiday.
Shavuot has some very fun customs, such as eating delicious dairy foods, decorating our homes and the Synagogue with the
signs of Spring in full bloom and staying up late on Erev Shavuot to learn. It is also a very serious holiday; just seven weeks
after reliving our freedom from Egyptian slavery, we relive receiving the Torah in Sinai. We remember the mitzvot, the com-
mandments and responsibilities we take on as Jews. I think one of the most important responsibilities we take on is caring for
others in our community.
On Shavuot we read the Book of Ruth, one of my favorite stories in the Tanah. This wonderful story tells of Ruth, a Moabite
woman who decides to embrace the faith of Israel and return there with Naomi, her mother-in-law, following the deaths of
their husbands. She supports herself and Naomi by gleaning barley from the fields of Boaz. The story of Ruth emphasizes
two of the main themes of Shavuot: the importance of embracing the Torah and the importance of helping those who are
in need during the harvest.
As we approach our celebration of Shavuot, I encourage you to enjoy the fun aspects of the holiday, to consider what mitzvot
you feel are most important and to do what you can to help the community.

Josh, Nadav and I wish you a Hag Shavuot Sameah!

-Samara

Are you a lover of trivia? The Purim Carnival numbers are in. Okay, I'm not going to talk about
dollars and cents. Each year, we actually count the tickets for each carnival game to track popularity.
The most popular attraction this year? The duck pond (where the little ones could turn over a duck to
see what number they got). The least popular? The ball toss. What else was popular this year? All the
delicious fruit-flavored hamentaschen!
This year's Men's Club Shabbat featured Tom Schneider, the executive director of COA Youth &
Family Centers. Feedback was extremely positive, and we certainly appreciated those comments.
Also that morning, we honored our Man of the Year, Jeff Peck. Due to a winter storm in March, and
after an hour of driving that got us as far as downtown Milwaukee on our way to Chicago, we couldn't make it to the award
banquet. So FJMC President Gerry Brin drove to Milwaukee and presented Jeff's plaque at our Shabbat event.
The Men's Club "L'Chaim Scotch Tasting" is set for Sunday, May 16 at 6:30. We are so excited to bring you this event,
which will feature a variety of unique scotches as well as delicious finger foods for only $15/Men's Club members and
$21/non-members. Bonus: This event doubles as a bachelor bash for the Hazzan! To RSVP, call Mike Spanjar at
414-791-6457 or visit the Men's Club page on the CBI website to register and pay online.
