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...]

I have a smile on my face.
Why? Because I just received a note from a wonderful local Jewish family who just joined Temple Emanu-El. âHi Rabbi! We have received lovely and generous emails and phone messages from many folks at Temple Emanu-El, thank you thank you all so much for welcoming us, very much looking forward to seeing and meeting and getting to know each of you!! My husband had a side conversation at work with someone, and found out that they also belong to Temple Emanu-El. We are excited about all the new and terrific things happening, have a good week!â To their delight, since they joined TE last week, they have discovered that they have many friends who are already members here. Their motivation for joining us as new members was so that they could live a deeper, more beautiful, and more meaningful life through their Judaism. Temple Emanu-El is their avenue, and we are thrilled to welcome them! As you know, new members are vitally important to the energy and health of our … [Read more...]
