All classes are being conducted via Zoom. Classes are for members only. Becoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah is the first step on the journey of Jewish adulthood, but we know that Jewish learning and leadership is a lifelong endeavor. As we grow, we pause to celebrate and recognize individuals who confirm their commitment to a life lived Jewishly. This year, Temple Emanu-El is starting an adult confirmation program for any and all adults who want to take their Jewish learning to the next level. Continued HERE.

Piercing The Fog
In his book, God In Search Of Man, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel relays a Hassidic parable: One day, a man was hiking on the cliffs overlooking the deep bay. In the distance, industrial boats came and went. Even though they looked tiny from this distance, the man knew that they were massive. While walking, he came upon a young boy, who was standing at the edge of the cliff, gazing out into the bay, as if looking for something. Concerned for his safety, the man asked the boy, "What are you doing so close to the edge?" The boy smiled, and took out his red handkerchief, and began to wave it up and down. Clearly he was trying to get the attention of one of the busy boats in the distance. "I'm signaling to that big boat out there to sound its horn." "Those boats are too far away to see you," said the man, "and the people working on them are super busy. Now, please, come away from the edge before you hurt yourself." Just then, to the man's astonishment, a piercing fog horn sounded, as … [Read more...]
Choosing Cattle Over Battle
Justice Louis Brandeis said in 1915, "Let no American imagine that Zionism is inconsistent with patriotism. Multiple loyalties are objectionable only if they are inconsistent." At the time, Brandeis was the head of the Provisional Executive Committee for General Zionist Affairs. He and Henrietta Szold, the founder of Hadassah, established a Zionist movement suitable for American Jewry. Whereas European Zionism was all about escaping Europe for Palestine, American Jews saw no reason to abandon a comfortable life in the United States. Brandeis and Szold convinced a skeptical American Jewish community that it was possible to have many loyalties (we would say identities, today). Each of these loyalties makes us better American citizens. The movement of "Philanthropic Zionism" was born in this era of the early 20th century. American Jews did not feel the urgency to leave the States, so they reconciled their loyalty to world Jewry with financial support to reconstruct a Jewish state in our … [Read more...]
Walking the Walk
The news from Haiti is bleak. The images that we see are of regular people, families, desperately trying to put their lives together after a major earthquake and tropical storms. Our hearts go out to them. They ache to 'do something' to assuage their pain, and such a tragic situation. Temple Emanu-El has a partnership with IsraAid, a group of Israeli first responders who go to places like Haiti on the heels of natural disasters to help. They often are literally the first 'boots on the ground', and have become experts on how to set up medical tents, do mass food and water distribution, bring in engineers along with search and rescue teams, and provide the baseline counseling amidst the trauma. Our people's mission, since time began, is to engage the world at its most broken parts, to mend and heal it as best as we can. I don't want to romanticize the situation, for that would cheapen the harsh reality that the Haitians are facing; but I am so proud that IsraAid is there, and I am so … [Read more...]
A Taste of the Future
Many of us remember the wonderful musical "Fiddler On The Roof." One of the very poignant parts of the script was a question towards the end of the play to the village rabbi: "Rabbi, when will the messiah come?" Our troubled world often leaves me thinking that same very same question. At times the world and all of its problems seem overwhelming. We expect the President of the United States to be able to fix everything, and yet truth be told, no one person can fix this broken world. In reading this week's Torah portion, we come across the narrative of Moses sending twelve men to scout out the land of Canaan. According to tradition, Moses chooses these leaders. When they return, ten of the scouts report that though the land is fertile and filled with potential, it is inhabited by Anakim, giants, and the cities are fortified. They report that the Israelites should not attempt to inhabit the land. The two remaining scouts, Caleb and Joshua, say: "The land that we traversed and scouted is … [Read more...]
