Shabbat at FPS
From the Editor... the short & shabby life of a synagogue, wa.
You’d hardly notice this was a synagogue unless directed to the Magen David rising above its peak. We found this synagogue, situated on a crossroads in the port city of Freemantle, its entrance obscured by a disused, graffitisplattered shop front. Welcome to the old home of the Freemantle Hebrew Congregation, the first synagogue built in Western Australia. Its congregation was established in 1887; by 1902 there were enough members to prompt the Honourable Elias Solomon, first member for Freemantle in the House of Representatives, to set the foundation stone. Consecration was followed by ceremonial circling and singing of psalms; but alas, by 1908—only six years later—the building closed permanently. When the majority of the Jewish population moved to the larger, more commercial Perth, the building continued life as an annex for the local hospital. In the 1920s it was repurposed as an auction mart, with shop cladding added slap bang

onto the front of the old synagogue. Its front doors serviced a succession of trades—a rug store, café centre, a clothing store called ‘Skid Rose’—and now here it stands, empty. The stained glass windows of this Grade Two building are intact, unlike old Mr Elias Solomon (whose nephews preferred amateur dramatics over the family business) who lies in the Fremantle Cemetery, along with an assortment of inmates (heroes, convicts, pop stars) all having led lives as various as the short life of Western Australia’s first synagogue. dress code wisdom
I invited a couple of friends to the Ed Balls Fund-Raising Dinner. Their email reply might help FPS members who can’t decide on the dress code: We’d be delighted to join you 16 May. Let us know the dress code: Black Tie; Military Dress Uniform with medals and sabres; Strictly Come Dancing Costumes (just to make Ed feel at home); or Red Tie and Flat Cap? trainee editor

From the Rabbi
rabbi rebecca birk
You will have seen by now that former MP, strictly dancer, Ed Balls will be speaking at our Fund-Raising Dinner on Thursday May 16, at FPS. I am delighted by this coup and hope you’ll join me along with Ed, a hugely engaging speaker, who will give his unique perspective on party politics, and the Jewish communities’ place in that. His recent documentaries and dancing prowess will no doubt inform the conversation as well! This will be a fun evening and an opportunity to raise vital funds for the synagogue’s development work. This will be going towards both the Building Fund and improvements to our sanctuary and the youth, welfare, and development projects that began this year and need to be financially supported. We know that evenings such as these raise money and morale in terms of pride in our community. Building up our funds along with engagement in synagogue life is our ongoing task and I am confident we are up to it. “Ayn Kemach ayn Torah” as Eleazar ben Azaryah taught in Pirkei Avot, 3: 17. “Without bread there is no Torah.” The meaning of course is not just about bread and studying Torah but rather about rabbis (and indeed everyone) needing to earn a living and being able to eat as well as learning Torah. So synagogues, Jewish communities and congregations need practical, fiscal support to do all that is wanted and needed. There are only 130 seats total, so don’t wait to book your place at the Fund-Raising dinner with Ed Balls. We are certainly doing our best to be strategic and practical as well as visionary for our N12 FPS community.
On a related topic, we have just finished our Listening Campaign in which we considered issues that affect Londoners in advance of next year’s (yes, 2020) Mayoral Elections. The
“We know that evenings such as these raise money & morale in terms of pride in our community. Building up our funds along with engagement in synagogue life is our ongoing task and I am confident we are up to it.” Listening Campaign was part of the coalition of concerned Barnet institutions along with FRS, MDXU, Somali Bravanese, Ayesha School, and Masorti Judaism. We care as much about what happens outside 54 Hutton Grove as we do inside. Indeed, one connects so very much to the other.

From the Chair At the time of writing we’re in the Caribbean, visiting a few islands. On Shabbat we went to see the Nidhe Israel Synagogue in Barbados. I was overjoyed to be invited to join a small tour group as we had wanted to visit this synagogue for several years. Nidhe is one of the oldest consecrated synagogues in the Western Hemisphere and was founded in 1654 by Brazilian Jews who were fleeing Recife. The synagogue became a vibrant community with 800 members out of 10,000 inhabitants on the island.
Tragically a hurricane destroyed much of the synagogue in 1831. The silverware of the synagogue was sent to Bevis Marks for safekeeping but was never returned. This was because the Sephardic community was replaced by an Ashkenazi community, a result of a new wave of Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe in the 1930s. In the 1980s, the local government wanted to demolish the site but the community fought back tooth and nail. They were successful. From then on the synagogue was gradually rebuilt thanks to generous donations. Nidhe is in the Synagogue Historic District, situated in Bridgetown, which is now a UNESCO site complete with a cemetery, a meeting hall, and

a museum. There had been a car park in the middle of the compound, but during renovations workers discovered the mikvah dating back to 1640. This is of course now part of the synagogue site and an integral part of its history. Our volunteer guide Neal Rechtman emigrated to Barbados from the USA following the election result in 2016. (We were truly impressed!) Nidhe is now a Progressive community of about 50 members who have weekly Friday night services with a Rabbi from Westminster Synagogue during the winter months. They would be delighted to welcome any Jewish people visiting to a service or a tour of the synagogue. We were delighted to learn that Neal is coming to London in the summer and we’d be happy to welcome him to FPS.

Community Development Report the listening project & the path to solutions
FPS is a community that listens. We know our Syrian Project came out of hearing the plight of the Syrians and realising we could be—we needed to be—part of the answer. We listen to the changing world around us and we respond, through night shelter and the Food Bank, through the changing education we offer adults and children, and through the way we see ourselves as Jews in modern life. So, it felt an easy step to begin our Listening Project. As part of Citizens UK, we wanted to find out what made our community angry and what we wanted to change. This is in the lead up to the 2020 London mayoral elections. Citizens UK will create a Manifesto created from the issues we in Barnet, and across London, feel are the most important. The Manifesto will be presented to the mayoral candidates. So, we listened. And what did we hear? That knife crime and youth violence, young people’s mental health, and the environment, are the areas that our community care most deeply about. We heard stories about grandchildren who are not getting the support they deserve; that there just aren’t enough police around to help when it’s needed; about the need for clean, green spaces locally, about the wish for clarity from Council about what is recyclable, and what exactly Council does with the recycling. These issues can seem enormous and overwhelming. But this is where Citizens UK is perhaps cleverest. Once Barnet Citizens have come together to share stories, we will work to see what we can change. It is enormously empowering to witness problems that appear impenetrable being broken down by determined

We have many visitors to FPS. I am sure we could write about our tallest, shortest, youngest or oldest visitors or members. It is rare, though, that I am able to write about our scaliest… Mushu is a bearded dragon. She came to synagogue with Ezekiel and is an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and helps provide comfort to him. As well as being an incredibly special and important animal (she has shown signs that she can detect seizures), she also delighted our Ivriah children as they got to give her a cuddle. We know the stereotype of rabbis having beards, so if lizards might ever become rabbis, Mushu— as a Bearded Dragon—is surely the most likely!

shabbat dinner – host and be hosted
The FoodBank has been extremely busy the past few weeks – feeding 80 people in one weekend. FPS’s donation for the next month will focus on toiletries. FoodBank is also low on tinned fruit and UHT Full Fat milk. Of course if you would prefer to donate anything else non-perishable or drop a donation in the Perspex box above our FoodBank collection point in the Shul hallway, we will do the shopping. Thank you, Peggy and Alison.
One of my favourite parts of being Jewish is Friday Night Dinner – whether it is hosting one or being invited to the homes of others. As a newbie to FPS in the last three years, I have also found it a great way to get to know other members and to build lasting friendships. Throughout 2019, I am working with Alexandra Simonon and Zoe Jacobs to further develop the FPS Friday Night Dinner group. The idea is simple – you sign up as either a host, or a guest, or hopefully both. Then the synagogue will help arrange the dinners. We have designed it to be inclusive. If you live too far away or lack the space to host it’s not a problem. You are welcome to use the FPS Small Hall. If you would like to host but not cook – again it’s not a problem. We can arrange dinners where everyone brings a dish. The Synagogue also has a Shabbat box with a host of goodies, some of them enthusiastically made or prepared by the Cheder children and others at FPS (challah, challah cover, prints of the blessings etc). If you’d like to sign up, please drop me a line, Chris Nash, chrisn@fps.org, or alternatively see me at Kiddush. Shabbat Shalom!

Where Are They Now? focus on gideon lyons
A chat with Gideon Lyons at his home in Crouch End reveals that Gideon enjoys a somewhat helical journey around FPS. He recalls fond memories of watching the construction of what was then the new extension when he was three. Along with big sister Sarah and parents Kitty and Roger, he moved from Islington to Finchley and joined FPS. Memories of Irviah include signing in with Bella Walls; formal Hebrew lessons with Ron Rappaport; the start of lifetime friendships, and vibrant games of football in the car park. A standout memory is the day in 1980 when the Ivriah children wrote messages to seal in the wall of the new building. (You can see the plaque over the time capsule in the corridor today.)
Gideon attended ULPSNYC events and went to Kadimah camp in the summers. Of his Bar Mitzvah, he remembers only being nervous and getting presents. Gideon asserts that the two years from Bar Mitzvah to Kabbalat Torah were his most formative, “Jewishly speaking”. Along with Antonia Boyd, Karen Morris (z”l), Jon Banes, Hannah Kuper and others (see 1992 Kabbalat Torah picture), Gideon pushed the Rabbi for answers about differences between Orthodoxy and Liberalism, supernatural vs scientific explanations of Biblical miracles and more.

Frank’s oft repeated emphasis that “actions are more important than beliefs” found Gideon at one point “trying to convince a rabbi that God exists.” When the First Gulf War erupted in August 1990, the Israel tour for British 16-year-olds was cancelled. Gideon took up the offer to attend Kutz camps in Upstate New York. That experience “blew my mind. There we were, Jewish boys and girls singing our lungs out, playing and praying together. I came back culturally enriched and musically inspired. My way of praying is through leading music (Debbie Friedman’s, Jeff Klipper’s and my own). I still play and sing in three or four synagogues. And they pay me!” Gideon reports that as well as music, tikkun olam is important to him. Early on, he helped organise a Sukkot sleepover to raise awareness of homelessness. Before Uni, Gideon spent a year in Israel. One Shabbat he stayed with an Orthodox Rabbi’s family and was almost seduced by Orthodoxy, but then he couldn’t see the point of just studying all day. Back he came to the UK where he acquired a biology degree. Still in touch with the Liberal Movement, Gideon began work as Youth Director and later moved to Schools Council UK, using the training skills programmes developed in Jewish leadership to train student reps in mainstream schools. About that time, Alyth Synagogue asked him to lead musical services for their children. Gideon soon became a member there. After years of office-based social enterprise work, Gideon realised that working directly with people was what he enjoyed. He completed a PGCE (Sciences), and his teaching career began. He has taught for ten years and finds that each year teaching grows on him a bit more. He enjoys “always having an audience, constant change, Continued on page 12

Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration With author Derek Niemann, 31 January @ FPS Approximately 80 people attended the Holocaust Memorial Day event held in conjunction with Finchley Reform Synagogue. Guests were welcomed with wine, tea, coffee and homemade cakes by FPS volunteers. Rabbi Rebecca led a brief service with the participation of Rabbi Miriam Berger. The audience was invited to light the 100 candles that were laid out around the room. I was delighted that young people from the KT group interrupted their challah making to join us for this part of the evening. Our invited speaker was Derek Niemann, author of A Nazi in the Family. Derek was born in Scotland to a German father and British mother. A few years ago, Derek made the chilling discovery that his German grandfather Karl had been an officer in the SS, and that his ‘business’ used thousands of slave labourers in concentration camps such as Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. Derek had known little about the German side of his family, but now a lifetime of unsettling hints and clues began to fall into place. With the help of surviving
lesley urbach
relatives and hundreds of previously unknown family photographs, Derek uncovered the true story of what Karl did. He shared his story in such an engaging and entertaining manner that one or two people found it even slightly out of place given the solemnity of the events we were remembering. A Nazi in the Family is an illuminating portrayal of how ordinary people can fall into the service of a monstrous regime. Derek is currently touring around the country with Noemie Lopian, the daughter of a Holocaust Survivor. They give talks at university campuses and other venues educating people about the Holocaust and how easy it is to be both a victim and perpetrator of genocide and crimes against humanity. Thanks to everyone who helped this event take place. Derek Niemann’s book, A Nazi in the Family: the hidden story of an SS family (2015) is available in our FPS library.

challenge and variety” and hardly ever sitting at his desk. “You are reminded daily of why your work is important, and you are never bored.” With his experience of teaching in a faith school (JCoSS) and now at Stoke Newington School, Gideon is keen to point out that while faith schools may be “good for the few”, their impact on our future society may be limiting. He feels that as Jews we have a role to play within our mainstream schools, contributing to mainstream society and strengthening our own identities as a minority within a larger society.
12
Reflecting now on growing up at FPS, Gideon confirms that FPS is still his spiritual home. He points out that while blind faith might have been easier to accept than the challenges of liberalism, the atmosphere and debate at FPS encouraged and strengthened him. And, he proclaims, Rabbi Rebecca is great. So where is he now? Gideon feels that he and his siblings have all ended up at about the same level of observance that they were brought up with—Friday night dinners, occasional visits to Shul, making sure that their own children get to Cheder—l’dor v’dor.

Green Page Update mazel tov! eco synagogue award
FPS has been an active member and part of the Steering Group of the Eco Synagogue project since its inception in 2017. The project offered a framework for changes in our sustainability behaviours. Recently, we finally got chemicals out of our kitchen and we are now working towards doing the same throughout the cleaning of the whole building. Our waterways will thank us. Recently we celebrated the first anniversary of Eco Synagogue with an event held at New North London Synagogue on 29 January. Alan Milner, a member of our Green Team, represented FPS. The event began with a panel of speakers in conversation with Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, Senior Rabbi of Masorti Judaism UK and Rabbi of New North London Synagogue. On stage was the Church of England Lead Bishop on the Environment, Nicolas Holtam, along with Drs Nichal Machmany and Joana Setzer from the Grantham Institute on Climate Change, Malini Mehra, from the London Sustainable Development Commission and Robin Clark of Just Eat. Each highlighted a different perspective on the issue of climate change, including faith, law, government, business and resources. The audience and panellists separated into break-out sessions on the themes of Policy and Advocacy, Spiritual and Faith Responses, Campaigning and Corporate Engagement and Education and Community Activism. Awards were presented by Andy Atkins, CEO of A Rocha (the initiators of the original Eco Church movement), who said: “Faith groups can really make a difference on the environmental agenda.” FPS received a Recognition Award alongside Alyth, Finchley Reform, Kol Nefesh and Muswell Hill, while Belsize Square and NNLS

were given Bronze Awards. Our Green Team will be working hard to get us a Bronze (or higher) award next year. The event closed with Edwin Shuker, Vice President of the Board of Deputies, offering praise for Eco Synagogue’s aims and for their very welcome pledges of support. If you’re
interested in learning more, on March 9, Café Ivriah (Saturday 9.45-10.45am) is holding an informal discussion titled ‘How can we make our synagogue more beautiful, functional and environmentally friendly?’ led by Richard Greene. Michael Lassman how green is your shofar?

be’te’avon!
Jewish people are famous for liking food. Some people make out that Jewish Mothers are always saying “Eat! Eat!” as if food is the cure for everything. What Jewish food do you like to eat? There are different kinds of Jewish cuisines (styles of cooking) as Jews have lived in many different places and their tastes have a local flavour. Ashkenazi Jews for example lived in central and Eastern Europe in countries such as Poland and Russia. Bagels, smoked salmon, gefilte fish, dumplings and challah are wellknown Ashkenazi dishes but most famous of all
is chicken soup! Ashkenazi dishes are not usually spicy. If you are a Sephardic Jew, your origins most likely will be in Spain or Portugal, but many Jews left this part of the world and moved to Morocco, Italy, Holland and even Mexico. Because different kinds of foods are eaten in these very different places, it is harder to say what exactly Sephardic food is. The cuisine usually includes many more vegetables and is also famous for halva, Israeli salad, falafel and spicy dishes.
Houmous Here is a simple recipe for houmous (also spelled hummus), a famous dish from the Middle East, where the Mizrahi Jews came from: ingredients:
preparation:
• • • • • • •
1. Drain chickpeas in a strainer or colander and rinse well with cold water. Reserve a few whole chickpeas for decoration. 2. Put the rest of the chickpeas and garlic on a flat plate and mash using a strong fork (or use a blender). 3. Add water gradually only as needed to just hold the mixture together. 4. When the mixture is mashed to desired smoothness, transfer to a bowl and add the tahini, lemon juice, salt and cumin. Mix well, adding a little more water or lemon juice as needed for desired consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste. “B’te’avon!” ( Or bon appetit!)
1 15oz can chickpeas 1 or 2 small cloves garlic, chopped 2 to 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste) Juice of at least ½ lemon Salt and pepper to taste ½ teaspoon ground cumin or to taste Olive oil, paprika, sumac and/or coarsely chopped parsley for garnish (optional).
