UM St. Joseph is my medical center.

MICHAEL J. SCHULTZ, MD, FACS DIRECTOR, BREAST CENTER SINCE 2006 I chose to practice at UM St. Joseph Medical Center because I didn’t have to develop the philosophy of compassionate care that I wanted for my patients…it was here already. This place truly is different in the way that the patient is cared for wholistically. It’s an approach perfectly in line with my own values. I knew I wanted to be a part of it.

A HERITAGE OF COMPASSIONATE SERVICE AND SUPERB CLINICAL PROGRAMS We provide our patients with innovative treatments, the best possible outcomes along with talented and dedicated physicians and staff. Many patients who come to UM St. Joseph Medical Center have a tradition of faith that is very important to them. Our goal is to honor those traditions while they are here. All faith traditions are welcomed and honored at UM St. Joseph. BE A PART OF SOMETHING GREATER

Very Unfriendly Welcome

Chicago Honors Allan Sherman Chicago honored the 50th anniversary of the release of “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh” by the famed song parodist Allan Sherman. The city’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel, who is Jewish, declared Aug. 31 as Allan Sherman Day in honor of the man behind the music. Sherman moved from his native Chicago to Los Angeles when he was 6. Five years later, following the divorce of his parents and the death of his mother’s second husband, Sherman was sent back to the Windy City to live with his maternal grandparents, who greatly shaped his future career.

Lisa Kudrow

Lisa Kudrow will be joining the cast of “Scandal,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. The Jewish actress of “Friends” fame has scored a recurring role as a politician on season three of the popular ABC drama. Playing a politician probably means there’s no room for any ditzy Phoebe action. Then again, we have seen a ditzy politician or two in our day. No further details on Kudrow’s character have been revealed, so we’ll just have to wait and see. “Scandal” returns on Oct. 3.

Kudrow Returning To TV

Super Model, Super Racer The Israeli version of “X Factor” won’t air until after the High Holidays, but one promo is sure to amp Israelis for their edition of the American hit show. It features host Bar Refaeli racing through the desert to an American-style diner, where she meets up with a digitally manipulated Simon Cowell, the show’s founder and one of its judges. The Israeli supermodel uses tarot cards to seductively introduce Cowell to the four judges, all popular Israeli singers. There’s Ivri Lider, “the clever one”; Shiri Maimon, “the diamond”“; Rami Fortis, “the crazy one”; and Moshe Peretz, “the prince.” Just when you think Refaeli is going to kiss the British bad boy, she grabs his car keys and zooms off, “hence getting his approval to get behind the wheel of the car for his show’s debut in the Holy Land,” the Hollywood Reporter so insightfully noted.

Someone spray-painted “Ross is not cool” on a construction site in Manhattan’s East Village, the New York Post reported. Next to the message was an arrow pointing straight at the new six-story mansion being built by former “Friends” star David Schwimmer. Whoever is responsible for the graﬃti is likely not a “Friends” enemy but instead a gentriﬁcation hater. It seems neighbors and preservationists are less than thrilled about Schwimmer’s 9,000-squarefoot digs being built on the site of an 1852 townhouse purchased by the actor and subsequently torn down (shortly aer the city declared the building was up for landmark status). Other messages on nearby boards and signs include “The destruction of an irreplaceable historic building for what???”

Thirty-One Years Of Jewish Journalism In March 1981, 52 americans held hostage by Iran returned home via andrews air Force Base. I stood on a street in Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s county, covering the event. Every tree, every pole had a yellow ribbon tied around it. at the time, I was working for the Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journal, based in college Park. My assignment was to get local color and comment from county residents on this emotional day. It was a Tuesday, a deadline day. Time enough to get back to college Park, type up the story and get it in for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publication. I got into my honda civic, drove onto the Beltway and within minutes my car lost power. I frantically pumped the gas pedal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nothing. So I pulled over onto the shoulder, directly in front of the former capital centre. remember 1981? no cellphones, no laptops. Just put up the hood and hope that someone stops for you. after waiting a relatively short time, I looked in my rearview mirror to see a Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s county police car. The officer, though, was not in uniform. he asked me if he could call a tow truck. I told him that I was a reporter on deadline with an editor who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care that my car broke down on what was the biggest story at the time. î&#x201A;&#x160;e oďŹ&#x192;cer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get in,â&#x20AC;? and he then drove me all the way to the Executive Building on route 1. I made the deadline; the story appeared three days later. another story: In June 1982, Israel sent its forces into Lebanon in what was called Operation Peace for Galilee. The movement was meant to stop the buildup of Palestinian irregulars and their weapons on Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s border with Lebanon. again, on a deadline day, my editor, Gary rosenblatt, at the JT sent me to a speech being given nearby by Lawrence Eagleburger, then the under secretary of state for political affairs for President ronald reagan.

after the session, I raced back to my downtown Baltimore office, put the yellow newsprint paper in the typewriter and banged out the story. Then, I relaxed. I had been the only reporter there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have the rest of the area media scooped. Today, the returning hostages and the Eagleburger speech would have been uploaded, online and viral before I even got back to my oďŹ&#x192;ce. Photographs from either event would have turned your next-door neighbor into a photojournalist. and I remember going to my editors at the JT and pleading for desktop computers, a network and modem. We jokingly had to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrestleâ&#x20AC;? the Smith coronas away from some of our colleagues. This is my final Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notebook. I leave the position of executive editor of clipper city Media/WJW Group on Sept. 13. I spent the ďŹ rst half of my career covering mostly issues that were important to the generation of Jews who witnessed the holocaust and then the creation of the State of Israel. Since then, the nov. 4, 1995 assassination of Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prime Minister Yitzhak rabin and Sept. 11, 2001 have become the dates branded on the minds of younger Jewish adults. Israel, synagogue and even Judaism are being reinvented for our younger generations. and so are Jewish newspapers. now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to work on the future of Judaism, which for me involves a great game of cars and trains with my 3 1/2 year-old grandson, nani. Thanks to craig Burke, our Washington investment partners, to Gary rosenblatt and to the Buerger family. With Meredith Jacobs and Maayan Jaffe, the WJW and JT are in great hands. and now I am going to be a reader. JT After 31 years of reporting on Jewish issues, Phil Jacobs is retiring as executive editor of Clipper City Media/WJW group.

Resolve And Hope On Yom Kippur With the High Holidays falling at the earliest time since 1899, they also coincide with the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. In the dozen years since that fateful day of horror and tragedy, the initial sense of dread and helplessness has in many ways given way to resolve, hope and a greater understanding and acceptance of this country’s religious minorities — with Jews being among the smallest. e 9/11 attacks led to an immediate response by President George W. Bush that U.S. Muslims were not guilty by association and that Islam is not America’s enemy. at set the standard for acceptance and, despite the added scrutiny they underwent and continue to undergo, American Muslims began to step out of the shadows as a community. e interfaith Unity Walk in Washington on Sunday was another outgrowth of the 9/11 attacks. Jews, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Baha’is, Buddhists and others gathered at Washington Hebrew Congregation to begin their walk to demonstrate that religious diﬀerences can lead to curiosity and friendship, not just death and war. While the walk had its seed in the attacks, 9/11 wasn’t a prerequisite for the increase in interreligious activity. Much the same can be said of the Yom Kippur War 40 years ago. e attack by Egypt and Syria on an unprepared Israel on Yom Kippur took 2,600 Israeli lives, shook Israel’s self-conﬁdence and devastated the country’s economy. It also led to a peace treaty with Egypt that still stands and security understandings with Syria that has kept it out of war with Israel. But the Yom Kippur War wasn’t necessary to achieve those results. As thoughts inevitably turn to these tragic events on Yom Kippur, it is important to remember that fate has no place in Judaism. Among the teachings of Yom Kippur is that human actions can turn a life, or a situation, around. So as we take stock we must ask, are we doing enough to make the world a better place? Are we treating our neighbors as we would ourselves? Progress can be made without tragedy. On this Yom Kippur, let’s resolve to make things better before they get worse.

Time To Raise The Minimum Wage Any discussion of the minimum wage should begin with the fact that Costco pays a starting hourly wage of $11.50 in all states. Compare that to the $7.25 minimum wage mandated by federal law, the state of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia and the $8.25 minimum wage in Washington, D.C. In Maryland, a new drive is under way to raise the hourly minimum wage to $10.10 over three years and to have that number indexed to inﬂation. A similar proposal failed to make it out of committee in the last legislative session. We hope it will become law the coming session. The $7.25 minimum wage is the equivalent of about $15,000 a year as a full-time salary, far below the poverty line of $22,050 for a family of four. While the minimum wage was not designed as a living wage, it also wasn’t designed to be the norm for an everincreasing number of people. Yet the low-paying (minimum-wage) service sector is where most of the job growth has been in recent years, and it has created real ﬁnancial challenges for those new entrants to the work force. Opponents of raising the minimum wage argue that it will force employers to hire fewer workers to balance the cost. We’re not so sure. Indeed, low-cost businesses such as Costco, Trader Joe’s and QuikTrip have reported cost savings when paying employees well over the minimum wage, since productivity goes up and turnover goes down. Gov. Martin O’Malley has come out in favor of raising the state minimum wage. So have the three announced candidates who would like to succeed him in 2014 — Del. Heather Mizeur of Montgomery County, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and state Attorney General Douglas Gansler. Such support is important, but it won’t be enough. We urge the governor to make this issue his own — just as he did last session in the successful drive to abolish the death penalty and institute gun control. The Jewish community can help. Our synagogues and the Baltimore Jewish Council are well positioned to help get out the message of the importance of affording entry-level workers in the state the chance to live better lives. While the proposed minimum wage is not enough to keep a family out of poverty, it is a start. Once that’s done, we can shift attention to the development of better-paying jobs and an affordable, quality educational system that will prepare young people for those jobs.

From is View Jill Max

Holistic Jewish Studies As summer drAws to its inevitable close, I eagerly anticipate the back-toschool rituals that are invariably intertwined with the Jewish holidays. is year, the holidays are early. A rabbi once told me that the holidays are either early or late; they are never on time. I smile whenever I recall this notion. For those of us in the business of Jewish education, the holidays can be a mixed blessing. we look forward to celebrating the chagim but worry about disrupting our back-to-school transitions. some years, it seems as though the school year doesn’t really get under way until almost anksgiving. we greet the New Year with enthusiasm, optimism and goals. I always loved assembling new school supplies with my kids — fresh, clean, blank notebooks, ready to be filled with ideas, dreams and equations. Our own notebooks, the ones we keep either in our heads or on paper, are prepared as well. rosh Hashanah and the subsequent days of Awe provide us with the opportunity to reflect, evaluate and envision what the next year might look like. As director of the Baltimore Hebrew Institute (BHI) at Towson university and a volunteer at e Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, focused lately on Israel and Overseas initiatives, that reflection and vision includes providing programs and opportunities that will help to expand Israel engagement and education in our community. This fall, through the generous support of The Associated, BHI will introduce a new adult education course called Tzion, which explores the history of Zionism and the state of Israel through interactive learning and dialogue. The goal of the course is to connect a cross-section of community members in study, discussion and debate. Neil rubin, a respected lecturer, journalist and historian, will

teach the class, conveniently located at Beth el Congregation, Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9. For those interested in literature and the arts, I invite you to join us as we host acclaimed Israeli author and ﬁlmmaker etgar Keret to Towson on monday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. in the College of Liberal Arts. Keret has been called the “voice of his generation” by salman rushdie and is known for his wit, charm and engaging personality. Prior to the lecture, Keret will work with our Judaic studies graduate students in a writers’ workshop. selected works will be available for purchase at the event, and Keret will sign copies at the reception following the lecture. An important component of a holistic Judaic studies educational experience is the opportunity to study abroad in Israel. At Towson, we offer an intensive, two-week minimester course, created and taught by Hana Bor, program director of the masters in Leadership in Jewish education and Communal service program. e course explores Israeli culture and service. students will learn how Israel developed its education and social-service models at national and local levels and how policies and practices are implemented in urban areas such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Baltimore’s sister city, Ashkelon. An integral part of BHI’s mission is to provide adult learners with a variety of educational and cultural opportunities. As a founding member of the Baltimore Israel Coalition, BHI has worked cooperatively over the last two years with 23 other community agencies and organizations to support and provide Israel education and advocacy in Baltimore. Our work continues, and our membership keeps growing. Join us! JT Jill Max is director of the Baltimore Hebrew Institute at Towson University. BHI is a member of the Baltimore Israel Coalition, baltimoreisraelcoalition.org.

Connecting There were Two Telephone lines in our new Jersey home. liberty 8-7722 was the family line, and liberty 8-4492 was my dad’s business line; 7722 was my line from 9:30 p.m. to midnight. no phone in my bedroom. i dragged the spirally, burgundy phone wire with the receiver attached to my ear all the way into the dining room, put my body under the dining room table and talked, laughed, cried, counseled, studied and even philosophized with my friends well into the night. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has expressed tremendous satisfaction for helping more than 12 million people connect. Commercials for every major telecommunications company boast, “it’s not complicated.” is this how true relationships are built? i keep trying to figure out why i find this new form of connecting so

mystifying and less satisfying. i keep hearing myself think, “chadesh yame-nu k’kedem,” “refresh or renew our days like those from the past.” in the developmental psychology field, we learn that bonding is essential between caregivers, parents and infants. it actually impacts a child’s ability to thrive. Attachment comes about when the child’s needs are addressed and the seeds of trust/ connection are planted. if a baby cries, hearing the voice of his mother can bring solace. But it is not only the soft sound of that reassuring voice or the tenderness of Mom’s touch that harnesses homeostatis for a baby, it is also the baby looking at the parent. This is true for adults, too. we are taught that with eye contact and a kind gaze, the brain develops and thrives in ways that without

this eye-to-eye love it would not. simply stated, when we respond with our senses to notice, to reassure, to listen, to tune in, we are advancing development and heightening a bond that impacts the life of a child: a child’s ability to better cope, to handle stress, to be resilient and to take on his or her world. i remember noticing medical doctors in shul on shabbat who were quietly “beeped” and inconspicuously slithered out of the sanctuary to handle a medical emergency. “how important they truly are” was my thought. it seems that today, at least from sunday through Friday, everyone thinks he or she is as important as a doctor. we keep our sacred communication devices with us always — during meetings, while we shop and while we are having lunch with friends. while checking out at seven Mile

R Reduce educe the P Pain ain o off Va V Varicose aricose V Ve Veins eins More than 20 million Americans have varicose veins, which can become more prevalent as we age. For many, it is an extremely painful and serious condition. Varicose veins are caused by faulty vein valves, which prevent blood from circulating back to the hearrrttt. Instead, gravity forces its return downward through the leg. This can lead to pressure, enlargement and swelling, as well as severe blood clots, fatigue, suffffering, and disability. The standard treatment for varicose veins is the use off compression stockings to force blood upward. In many cases, this treatment, along with a proper diet and increased exercise, is all that is needed to increase circula culla ation. t tion tio ti In more severe cases, stockings are not effffective, tive, ive and a furrther ther th treatment, including surgery, is need eede ede ed. ed

At MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital, medical specialists perform a procedure called endovenous closure for treating severe varicose veins. This minimally invasive treatment uses a very small catheter and radiofrequency energy to close the problem vein. In most cases, this method reduces limb pain, fatigue and swelling, and results in an easier and faster recovery for patients over traditional surgeries that involve removing the troubled vein. If you are experiencing discomfort from varicose veins, visit MedStarGoodSam.org/Vascular2 MedStarGoodSam.org/V Vascular2 for information about vascular services, or call 443-444-4100 for a free referrrall.

Market, customers talk on their phones. Moms talk while pushing their strollers. every communication is now of emergency proportion, requiring instant feedback. God bless shabbat. we all — be it at the shabbat table or at a Kiddush or wherever — have to look at each other when speaking. in the quiet of my private practice office, the ultimate no-tech relationship, i give my clients the same attention i did my high school friends when i was on 7722. when i am with my family and a knowing gaze, a secret smile, accompanies a laugh or a cry, i could not be more thrilled and more connected because i could not possibly feel more love in my heart than i do at that very moment.

27 percent. All of the refugees are Sunni. The Lebanese government collapsed last March, and since then the cabinet has served in a caretaker role. That has made it more complicated and difficult for the government to make decisions on refugees. While most refugees from Syria continue to be allowed into Lebanon for humanitarian reasons, authorities have cracked down on the number of Palestinians being allowed into Lebanon. Human Rights Watch said that since last month Palestinian refugees are being denied entry into Lebanon. ere are already 455,000 Palestinians in Lebanon, many living in overcrowded refugee camps that have been the scene of frequent clashes. According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, some 92,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria have already sought refuge in Lebanon during the current crisis. A senior Palestinian official in Lebanon confirmed that there have been fewer Palestinian refugees allowed into Lebanon. But he said it was for practical considerations only. “Amid the increase in the number of refugees in Lebanon, the authorities made new regulations to help specify the real refugees,” he said. “If a person is going to a hospital or running away from the war, they are always allowed in. ey require a rental contract from those coming in to make sure that they are real refugees.” The official explained that some people are considered to be refugees even as they travel back and forth between Syria and Lebanon. Some come to Lebanon on weekends and return to Syria on the weekdays. He argued that it is not correct to afford refugee status to those who stay in Lebanon but travel to Syria periodically to check on their homes there. Lebanese officials say that while they are sympathetic, they have simply reached the limit of their capacity to help. JT Linda Gradstein writes for The Media Line.

Discussing conDitions in israel and the Middle East, cardinal theodore Mccarrick, archbishop emeritus of Washington, D.c., said that “twilight has fallen on the possibility of a two-state solution” but added that despite the real and enormous challenges, it is not too late for peace in the region. the crowd of catholic leaders, clergy and invited guests listened attentively as the cardinal gave his keynote address as part of the conference called “Religious Freedom and Human Rights — Path to Peace in the Holy Land — that All May be Free.” Held Monday at catholic university in Washington, D.c., conference attendees represented a diverse sample of catholic interest groups and organizations. the conference was sponsored by a similarly wide spectrum of groups — the united states conference of catholic Bishops, the institute for Policy Research and catholic studies at the catholic university of America and catholic Relief services. the speakers — christian, Jewish and Muslim — covered issues of human rights and religious liberty in israel and the Palestinian territories. in talking through the problems and issues, all of the speakers brought forth ideas on how to encourage peace and improve the lives of everyone living in the region. Much of the day’s discussion revolved around israeli religious policies for minorities and the interaction of the israeli government with Palestinians in the West Bank and gaza strip. Mccarrick said he sees the growth of israeli settlements as a real danger to the peace process. “Recognizing israel’s shortcomings is crucial,” said Peter Berkowitz, a senior fellow at the Hoover institution at stanford university. “But they

must be understood in context. the relationship between religion and state is complicated.” Berkowitz spoke as a respondent to Mccarrick and discussed a lot of the positive aspects of life in israel for religious minorities. While acknowledging the validity of the concerns under discussion about israeli policies, he said a one-sided story is oen told in the world media. “Veriﬁable and illuminating facts about freedom in israel are overlooked in Western reporting,” he said, citing as an example israeli tolerance of peaceful demonstrations in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt while the Palestinian Authority detained and arrested many who did the same. e conference ended on a hopeful note of future reconciliation and peaceful tolerance for all who travel to the region; the daunting task of getting there should always get its due, Mccarrick said. on that, there was general agreement from his audience. “it’s really all about education,” Bishop Denis Madden said. “today won’t solve the big problems, but people will go home and think about what they’ve learned.” JT Eric Hal Schwartz writes for JT’s sister publication, Washington Jewish Week.

Cool To The Core New Jerusalem U initiative to fund young-adult innovation, co-chaired by Mayim Bialik By Maayan Jaffe

Denise Herrick Borchert

They are calling it “cutting-edge.”

Provided

Mayim Bialik is co-chair of CORE18, a new cutting-edge fellowship for Jewish leaders ages 19 to 25.

Raphael Shore says CORE18 will inspire new ideas to impact the Jewish world.

They are looking for innovation. They are hoping to find young people who have talent, passion and a desire to make a difference in the Jewish world. They — the leaders of Jerusalem U (formerly Jerusalem Online) — are the founders of a new social entrepreneurial boot camp for select Jewish leaders ages 19 to 25. It’s called CORE18 Leaders Lab, and it’s free and fabulous. The program, which was formally announced during a conference call this past Thursday, is being co-chaired by actress and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik, emeritus chief rabbi of England Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and Harvard University professor Tal Ben-Shahar. According to Jerusalem U founder and CEO Raphael Shore, CORE18 is a full-scholarship program that aims to create driven, out-of-the-box social entrepreneurs who will both develop new game-changing enterprises for the Jewish world and infuse new ideas into existing infrastructure. “We said, ‘How are we going to encourage, find and accelerate young people who could become effective social entrepreneurs in the Jewish world, who will come up with ideas better than anything we have developed?’ Shore explained to the JT. “There is so much room for new ideas.” Bialik, who was contacted by the team shortly after Shore, Rabbi Sacks and Ben-Shahar thought up CORE18, immediately got excited about being a part of the initiative. Bialik, who became inspired by Judaism and Jewish identity, “has a lot to offer,” said Shore. “She has done quite a bit of learning herself, she has become much more committed [to Judaism] based on what she has learned. She can talk about the [Jewish] ideas she ﬁnds relevant to her.” Bialik, in an email interview, told the JT that “CORE18 Leaders Lab is a mad scientist’s dream. … We bring in emerging Jewish leaders and give them the connections, training and funding they’ll need to experiment with cool new ideas that can change the Jewish landscape. “To do great things in the world, we must first seek greatness within ourselves,” she said. “CORE18 is about daring to be more, to do more and to

achieve more than you ever thought possible.” CORE18 is in line with the general philosophy of Jerusalem U, which was launched four years ago. The purpose of Jerusalem U is to try to bring fresh ideas to Jewish and Israel education so that young people can get a sense that being Jewish — and that the State of Israel — is relevant to their lives. The program takes advantage of film and technology sharing to bring the best educators in the Jewish world to formal and informal classroom settings. Teachers have included Ben-Shahar, Alan M. Dershowitz, Bernard Lewis and Dore Gold among others. “We have had a tremendous amount of success in a short time. We have had over 100,000 hours of studying among the college market, have been in 300 camps this past summer and are in over 100 schools,” said Shore. Jerusalem U came up with the inspiring documentary “Israel Inside,” which has been shown across the country, including in Baltimore, and has been seen by several million people. “We are making more and more products, and we think we are on to something exciting and special,” said Shore, noting that CORE18 is the organization’s latest brainchild. Applications are now being accepted for the CORE18 Leaders Lab and must be submitted by Oct. 15. Thirty-six young adults will be accepted to the seven-month program, which will include regional and national conferences, weekly webinars and the opportunity for personal mentorship and to meet with great local, national and Israeli leaders. There will also be a trip to Israel. In addition, the program will offer 18 of the students a second phase, an accelerator phase, during which they will be provided with a second year of learning and seed money to help them launch their specific project. Said Shore: “We hope that the seven months will have a profound impact on the participants and inspire many of them to go on and do great things.” JT For more information and to apply, visit CORE18.org.

Green Golan Israel is renowned for creating innovative solutions for dealing with a scarcity of natural resources from seawater desalination to drip irrigation. Indeed, these technologies have been sold internationally and are aiding the solution of dire water and food shortages in the developing world. Israel has now begun to focus on a new challenge, that of moving toward a greener economy. e Golan Heights region is one such area that, despite its pastoral serenity, has seen tremendous economic growth and in turn faces detrimental effects on its picturesque landscape. The Golan Heights is a welcome island of green in a predominantly arid country. The green hills, peppered with vineyards and orchards, the bubbling streams and the

snow-capped Hermon Mountain, are all gems in Israel’s geography. Likewise, they are all at risk of increased environmental pollution and the negative consequences of climate change. In a report released last year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection declared that “Israel recognizes the necessity to decouple the destructive link between economic growth and environmental degradation and is forging forward with a new green growth agenda.” Towering over the Golan Heights region lies the wind farm at Tel Asania. While solar energy provisions are costly and space intensive, wind farms produce energy efficiently on significantly less land space. e region’s gusty plateau is the perfect location for Israel’s first-ever wind farm,

which provides electricity for one of its largest employers, the Golan Heights Winery, other regional industries and a proportion of the area’s residents. It was announced earlier this year that a new wind farm containing 50 turbines, the height of the Azrielli centers in Tel Aviv, will be built in the region at a cost of $332 million. It is predicted that by 2015, the new 120-megawatt wind farm will begin producing electricity and that the farm will become the largest in the entire Middle East region. The Golan Heights’ businesses and industries have gone on board outlining new strategies to minimize their carbon footprints and develop policies to protect the region for the generations to come. Katzrin, the capital of the region, is home to one

of the region’s greatest prides, the Golan Heights Winery. As one of the region’s largest employers and the country’s leading wine producer, it takes responsibility for leading the way in environmental responsibility. “The Golan Heights Winery is totally indebted to the incredible natural offerings of the region,” said Yael Gai, head of International Marketing for the Golan Heights Winery. “The mineral-rich basalt soil and the perfect weather conditions enable us to grow the fantastic grapes that are produced year after year. For that reason, one of our main goals is to increase the positive impact that we have on the environment.” “There is a growing trend in the wine world to move toward organic farming and sustainable agriculture,” jewishtimes.com

noted Golan Chief Winemaker Victor Schoenfeld. “We work on a system of biodynamic agriculture, which aims to strengthen the connection between man, nature, animal and plants.” To this end, the Golan Heights Winery has made strides to paint the Golan green in more ways than one. For the past 15 years, the Golan Heights Winery has been cultivating its unique Odem organic vineyard. “Organic wine growing not only expresses, to the fullest extent possible, the unique terroir (soil and climate) of the Odem Vineyard, but it also positively influences its quality,” said Schoenfeld, “In light of our successful experience with organic wine growing in the Odem Vineyard, and following extensive study of the topic, we implemented organic methodologies in additional vineyards across the Golan Heights, thus reducing the use

of environment damaging chemicals in the whole region.” Without using powerful chemicals to deter unwanted guests, the Golan Heights Winery went back to basics employing a parliament of barn owls to guard the vines and using pheromones to confuse pests and preclude breeding. Any grape waste from these vineyards is then turned into organic compost and thereafter used in over 40 percent of the winery’s vineyards.

devices, the Golan Heights also relies on a team of volunteers to maintain its lush green habitat. e Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) has launched a number of programs to try to combat the deterioration of the Golan’s natural water sources including the many streams, rivers, springs and wetlands in the region. “Israel’s rivers are in a state of crisis,” reads SPNI’s report on the current situation. “Israel’s rivers and wetlands have changed beyond recognition.

“We are making real headway and setting an example for the whole region.” — Winemaker Victor Schoenfeld

In addition to the use of wind turbine-produced energy, the winery invests heavily in reducing water usage through an innovative drip-irrigation and advanced water-measurement system. This enables the winey use the absolute minimum amount of water required to water the vines. The large quantity of water used in winemaking and cleaning the vast vats is rerouted through a unique puriﬁcation device enabling the eﬃcient recycling of waste water. The organic waste is then broken down into gases by anaerobic bacteria, which in turn power an electricity-producing turbine. Finally, the winery has ceased to use non-recyclable plastic bags and in its place uses eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging. “We still have a long way to go to ensure that our environmental sustainability remains in line with our expansion,” said Schoenfeld. “But we are making real headway and setting an example to the whole region.” In addition to high-tech solutions and innovative energy conservation

Rivers and wetlands have become dumping grounds for sewage, industrial and agricultural runoﬀ.” In part due to the increased usage of desalinated water for urban water consumption, SPNI has taken the opportunity to launch the Longing for the Streams campaign to improve the way natural water sources are managed. In addition to rehabilitation programs and new legislation, it runs a River Guardian program for schoolage children to learn what they can do to protect the area’s water sources. Keeping the Golan green is a combined effort. Together with the leading businesses in the area, such as the Golan Heights Winery, Israel’s governmental, charitable and CleanTech organizations are all playing their part in protecting one of Israel’s most beautiful regions. While the Golan Heights is now blooming with flora and fauna, the area’s residents are acutely aware that they bear responsibility for its preservation for the generations to come.

Shaare Shalom Synagogue, with its sand-covered floors, is Jamaica’s only shul and has fewer than 200 members.

JAMAICAN JEWS? C’mon Mon

Island nation boasts somewhat hidden yet tightknit Jewish community By David Snyder

hen New York resident and Pikesville native Perry Katz traveled to Jamaica for a vacation last December, he spent ﬁve days relaxing on its beaches and enjoying tropical beverages amid the country’s tourism-laden north coast. He was completely unaware that about three-and-a-half hours south, in Kingston, Jamaica’s capital city, there exists an intimate Jewish community that boasts more than 300 years of rich tradition. To lifelong Kingston resident Ainsley Henriques, whose ancestors settled in the Caribbean nation around 250 years ago, Katz is not the

exception. Most people, Jews included, have no idea that a Jewish population in Jamaica even exists. Henriques, Jamaica’s honorary consul to Israel (the country does not have an Israeli ambassador), said when people are informed of the island’s Jewish nook, the reactions he receives are usually quite similar. “They are surprised,” said Henriques, 74. “The Jamaican Jewish community has never been overtly active in telling its story anywhere. … The world has sort of woken up to the idea that Jews actually did — and do — live in Jamaica.” The landmark cornerstones of Kingston’s Jewish footprint are its

Baltimore Jewish Times September 13, 2013

Shaare Shalom Synagogue — the country’s only shul — and its adjacent Jewish Heritage Center. Erected a little more than 100 years ago, the synagogue is a pearly white structure with one main prayer room that seats around 350 people. Its most discernable feature is the sand that comprises its floor — it’s one of five synagogues worldwide to lay claim to this amenity. “You can wear sandals to synagogue and get sand in your toes,” Henriques said. Some 30 feet away, the heritage center contains posters on the wall that document Jamaica’s Jewish history. It also displays items used over

the course of the year such as tefillin, one of its 13 Torahs and a shofar. For Henriques, however, the main challenge is not just getting Jews worldwide to fathom Jamaica’s Judaism, it’s also ensuring that the unique community — comprised of a diverse variety of denominations and backgrounds — sustains long after his generation is gone. Currently, Shaare Shalom has fewer than 200 members, and it struggles to retain individuals from the younger age brackets. “I can’t tell you,” said Henriques, when asked about the community’s long-term future. “My only hope is that it [continues] as a long as I am alive.”

considering that it was economic opportunity and freedom that led Jews to settle in Jamaica in the 1600s and 1700s. The difficulty is exemplified in David Matalon, the synagogueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president for the last three years. Matalon has been on Shaare Shalomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board since 1972. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m about to come off because I think 40 years on the board is long enough for one person. But if I come off, my problem is, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who they are going to replace me with,â&#x20AC;? said Matalon, 63. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love younger people to come on, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to step up to the plate.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say everything is doom and gloom. There are several sparks of positive development. After going 40 years without an official spiritual leader, Shaare Shalom installed Rabbi Dana Evan Kaplan two years ago. Since then,

program boasts about a half-dozen students, and the rabbi is also working to solidify a weekly Torah study. One of the perks of a diminutive community is its intimacy and its openness. Shaare Shalom is a combination of Sephardic and Ashkenzic traditions simply because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough of a population to warrant multiple synagogues throughout the city. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tightknit, amalgamated environment, almost a reďŹ&#x201A;ection of Jamaica itself, a relatively small country of just around three million people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody knows everybody. Most are related to one another in some sort of way. You tend to have a pretty good idea of whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who,â&#x20AC;? Henriques said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somebody new turns up we look at them and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, who are you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; [But] they are welcome as part of our Jewish community.â&#x20AC;?

STEPPING INTO THE SHOES OF THE ELDERLY The Holon Children’s Museum of Israel is known for its hands-on, multimedia exhibits, such as “Dialogue in the Dark” and “Invitation to Silence,” where visitors experience a 90-minute tour focusing on what it feels like to live with physical impairments, such as vision and auditory deficiencies. “Dialogue with Time,” a new exhibit geared toward teens ages 14 and up, focuses on allowing visitors to participate in everyday tasks such as unlocking a door with a tremor, scheduling appointments with limited hearing and walking up stairs with bad knees. The museum hopes that the experiences spark thought about being elderly and dialogue about compassion and understanding. Former Deputy Minister Lea Ness of the Ministry for Senior Citizens in Israel said the exhibit “provides a remarkable educational experience by allowing young people to literally step into the shoes of the elderly and experience what it feels like to age. In so doing, we are able to expand communal awareness and heighten the bond between generations.” — Baltimore Jewish Council

This tells the story of three generations of Rivka Cohen’s family, whose lives were turned upside down by the Holocaust. We learn about their travels from pre-World War I Hungary to post-World War II Israel though a series of personal stories. The stories are illustrated with family photographs, which add to the narratives, and drawings of events, which I found unnecessary. There are occasional maps to help the reader understand the geography. While I found the stories fascinating, I also

found them difficult to follow. It was not always clear at the beginning of each story in what year, or span of years, the events took place. I also had to keep referring to the family tree at the front of the book to figure out about whom each story was written. An appendix is provided explaining Hungarian Jewish history. is would have been beneﬁcial at the beginning of the book to aid in understanding the context of stories. All in all, “Journey to the Ends of the Earth” provides unique and personal insight into a land forever changed by the Holocaust and a family that survived to tell its stories. — Rachel Burgan

HEALTH + NUTRITION COMMENT Dr. Donald Abrams

There’s noThing like getting lost in a good book, whether you prefer “To kill a Mockingbird,” “steve Jobs” or “goodnight, goodnight, Construction site.” We each have our own tastes when it comes to what we think is a good page-turner. however, choosing books is now just one part of the process, because it’s a question not only of fiction or non-fiction and author or genre, but also of how we are going to enjoy our favorites. There are dozens and dozens of electronic readers, such as the Amazon kindle, Barnes and noble’s nook and the Apple iPad, and they have bec-ome popular alternatives for reading enthusiasts. Many people think it’s a no-brainer to carry an e-reader rather than books, because books are bulkier and heavier. With more than two million e-books available to download at the click of a button, e-readers are also easy to update. in fact, one in 10 Americans says that he or she currently uses some kind of e-reader. of course, as with any change, there is uncertainty. one of the questions i get most oen is, “Do e-readers cause eye strain?” For the most part, they do not. let’s put things into perspective. even when you are reading the print edition of a book, your eyes may feel fatigued, so it’s nice to take a bit of a break: get up, stretch, look around, refocus and then go back to your book. The same thing holds true with an electronic reader. if you’re staring at an e-reader for a long time, you might feel that same sense of tired or strained eyes that you would with the printed word. simply follow your instincts to stretch, look away and check out something in the distance to allow your focusing muscles to recalibrate; then start again. eye strain can cause your eyes to be

sore and feel tired and make your vision blurry. however, the symptoms are not permanent, and once you rest your eyes, the symptoms will disappear. if they don’t, however, and are accompanied by headaches and double vision, you should check with your doctor; they could indicate something else is wrong. As someone who uses e-readers, i think they’re terrific devices. if you are like me and are a bit nearsighted, they can be very helpful. i have to wear reading glasses for regular books, but i never have to wear them when i use my e-readers because i can enlarge the text as much as i want.

Eye strain can cause your eyes to be sore and feel tired and make your vision blurry. in addition, it’s not your imagination if you notice differences among e-readers. lCD screens can be more difficult to read in bright sunlight, and in those instances i use a kindle, which uses electronic ink, as opposed to an lCD screen, to cut down on the glare. For the vast majority of people, e-readers are a good thing because they make reading accessible, and i don’t think you need to worry about additional eye strain. Whether you select paper or electronics, i hope that you enjoy this latest chapter in technology. JT Dr. Donald Abrams is chief of the Department of Ophthalmology at the LifeBridge Health Krieger Eye Institute.

Event raises money, awareness for programs helping disabled people

By Eric Hal Schwartz

College will be the site for a mileand-a-half walk to raise money and awareness for the services provided to Maryland residents with disabilities by the Abilities Network. “It’s a bring-your-friends, bringyour-neighbors event,” said Paul Trinkoff, a member of the Abilities Network board. is will be the seventh annual Walkabout Abilities, an event that has grown into the centerpiece of the Network’s fundraising and outreach eﬀorts. “It’ not heavy-handed at all,” said Trinkoff, who has participated in the event both as a fundraiser and as an organizer. The money raised goes to serve those in the community with disabilities and their families. The organization works with people with epilepsy and autism, among other disabilities, and helps them with medical and social adaptation. “I had epilepsy and got introduced to the Network when I was young through my aunt,” said Leete Garten, who is now on the Abilities Network board. Garten said that the great experience his family had with the Network led to his father becoming a longtime member of the board, and he is proud to continue that legacy. e Walkabout, he said, plays a key role in informing

the community about the Network. “It’s a testament to our employees,” he said. “It’s become our flagship event.” The event takes most of the year to plan, but its success has made it worthwhile. The Network engages with schools to improve inclusiveness, and it runs programs to help people with disabilities get jobs. It is also working on a new program for elderly clients who can’t stay in their homes any longer. “It’s all very hands-on,” Trinkoff said. “It’s very individualized, not a cookie-cutter process.” Although the Abilities Network is not a Jewish group, the Jewish community in Baltimore plays an important role, as Trinkoff and Garten, both Jewish, can attest. “It’s a very open organization,” Garten said. “And there’s a lot of Jewish community involvement,” Trinkoff added. As for the Walkabout, entertainment and a variety of food vendors help draw large crowds. “We’ve even had famous local athletes attend,” Garten said. For more information on the Network and the Walkabout, visit abilitiesnetwork.org. “It can make a big impact,” Trinkoff said.

| Sukkot |

Local foodie, JT columnist offers insight, ideas for creating an anything-goes Sukkot menu By Ilene Spector | Photos by David Stuck

38-44-sukkotcover_Layout 1 9/11/13 3:18 PM Page 39

happened so fast. Who pressed the fast-forward button on summer? It felt as if Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur got the bum’s rush from the Jewish calendar. I went from the hot sweat of August to the cold sweat of preparing my Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur menus. Now, just as I take a deep breath, here comes Sukkot. This year, the joyous holiday starts at sunset on Sept. 18 and runs through sunset on Sept. 25. Sukkot 101: It is a celebration of history and agriculture. Historically, it recalls the time during which the children of Israel wandered in the desert and lived in temporary shelters for more than 40 years. Agriculturally, it commemorates an ample harvest. If you need to know more on the basics of Sukkot, there is a cornucopia of information on the Internet. You can even ﬁnd a How to Celebrate Sukkot page on wikiHow. Your sukkah can be purchased or become a do-it-yourself project. Some actually live in the sukkah for seven days; some only eat meals there. For children, decorating a sukkah can be a fantastic experience. Again, on the Internet, you can get a range of ideas from formal chandeliers to more artsy-craftsy homemade decorations. But for me, it’s all about the food. Fortunately, Sukkot has a more relaxed food vibe than the High Holidays, which are tied to a list of traditional foods, such as apples, honey and round challah. Even though food is key to this holiday, Sukkot does not have a list of specific and/or traditional dishes. Sukkot has a real anything-goes tradition when it comes to what you eat. For me, Sukkot is a foodie’s freefor-all. Many scholars believe the Pilgrims adapted Sukkot for Thanksgiving. Since it is a harvest festival, it seems natural to focus on fresh fruit and vegetables. At this time of year, Maryland offers a wide selection of locally grown items. You can find fall fruits and veggies in supermarkets, farmers’ markets and at local farms that have stands or pick-your-own fields. I recently discovered a terrific website from the University of Maryland to help guide those of us who want true farm-fresh. Go to marylandagriculture.com for descriptions, locations, days and operating hours of more than 100 markets and farms all over the state. Again, local supermarkets have plenty, too, including dried fruits, which are terrific for sukkah snacks and desserts. On Sukkot, we are often reminded to include figs, dates, pomegranates and grapes. But don’t let that hem you in. Be bold. There are green grapes, red grapes and tiny champagne grapes. Pomegranates, especially, have come out of the closet lately. You can enhance salads with pomegranate seeds that can be bought in containers. Pomegranate juice, widely available, is wonderful for drinking over ice or mixing with other juices, making salad dressings and more. There are Medjool dates and

Deglet Noor dates, and some specialty markets have other varieties. Don’t forget rambutans and figs. The ABCs of local fruits and veggies? Here’s a list of some of the items now available: apples, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupes, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chard, cucumbers, eggplant, grapes, green beans, kale, melons, mushrooms, nectarines, okra, peaches, pears, peppers, plums and pluots, raspberries, scallions, squash, tomatoes, turnips, watermelons and zucchini. Stuffed foods remind us of a bountiful harvest, which often means stuffed cabbage or other stuffed vegetable dishes, such as stuffed tomatoes or zucchini. Locally prepared foods are abundant, too. Gourmet Again sells sliced smoked brisket with a side of barbeque sauce and onions. The brisket is so tasty, you don’t even need the sides, and they sell out whenever they have it. With a great sliced challah or challah rolls, you can create a smoked Baltimore brisket bar in your sukkah. I am a great fan of food bars that feature a main course and an array of condiments for personalizing your plate. My family is partial to my homemade mandel bread, and I intend to have a mandel bread bar. Right next to my coﬀee and tea station, I place a tray of mandel bread with little dishes of toppings for dipping. (No double dipping allowed!) Challah is always welcome, but here is a way to really ratchet up the yum factor. If you make your own challahs, try adding some flavors, sweet or savory, such as caramelized chopped onions, chopped apples and cinnamon, chocolate or berries. If you like this idea but aren’t up to baking it yourself, try going to shopchallywood.com. Challywood is a kosher pareve bakery in Queens, N.Y., that has all the flavors I mentioned and more. It delivers, often overnight. The prices are super reasonable, with free shipping for a minimum order. Challywood bakes luscious flavors: choco-cherry, choco-coconut, blueberry pullapart and more. I have had them, and they are scrumptious. And like all challahs, you can freeze them if you need to. Yes, you can have a Sukkot challah bar, too. I know I will. Continue the harvest theme in your table décor. No fancy flowered centerpieces for me on Sukkot. I use mason jars, shallow trays, glasses and other containers to create a tablescape of dried and fresh fruits and veggies. I admit that I sometimes use Pinterest to look at table décor and to borrow ideas. I searched Pinterest for Sukkah décor and found photos of unique, easyto-make candle holders for evening in the Sukkah. Slice off the tops of apples and/or colorful gourds, and hollow them out far enough to set a tea light inside each one. Here are some more kitchen tips and recipes. Enjoy the bounty and the leeway that allow you to make new creations and traditions for your sweet and savory Sukkot.

CARIBBEAN CHICKEN BREASTS (MEAT)

(is won $50,000 in a national chicken recipe contest.) Skinless, boneless chicken breasts for 4 to 6. Clean and remove (with scissors) any white veins and fat from each breast, pound breasts some, and slice into Weight Watcher portions (the size of the palm of your hand). Figure 11⁄2 portions per person. 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 can (141⁄2 oz.) petite diced tomatoes, with juice 4-oz. can diced green chilies (mild or hot) or use diced tomatoes with chilies 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice 1 ⁄4 cup mango chutney, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 ⁄4 cup dried cherries, softened in hot water for a few minutes 1 large ripe, firm banana, sliced 1 ripe, firm mango, sliced or chunks (you can use the tall fresh mango spears in a jar, which can be found in some produce departments), well drained and patted dry

Place oil in a frying pan, and heat to medium. Add chicken and cook, turning until brown on both sides. Add the tomatoes, chilies, brown sugar and allspice. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Add mango chutney, lemon juice and raisins. Cover and cook for 15 more minutes or until chicken tests tender. Remove chicken to platter. Skim off fat from sauce. Add banana to sauce and heat thoroughly. Spoon sauce over chicken, and garnish with the mango. Brown chicken the day or night before. Entire recipe can be made in advance except for the bananas and mango. Or it can be done in the oven. Freeze leftovers without the bananas and mango. 4-6 servings (I usually double this recipe)

BUFFET MEAT SURPRISE (SOUNDS FUNNY, BUT IT TURNS OUT DELICIOUS) 4 to 5 pounds boneless chuck roast (fairly lean, if possible) Approximately 30 to 40 ounces canned sauerkraut, drained 1-pound box dark brown sugar (brown sugar Splenda can be substituted) 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes with liquid 1 large whole onion, sliced into half rings 2 large cut-up peeled and cored Granny Smith apples

Place meat in a very large roasting pan for top of stove (or possibly a big crock pot, 5 to 6 quarts.) Dump the drained sauerkraut on top of the meat. On top of that, empty the box of sugar; next, the tomatoes and liquid. Place the onion and apple pieces around the meat. (I keep the meat on the bottom and mix everything else around and on top of it, opening the pot after half the time to mix again and break the meat up into pieces.) Place the pot on the stove, or cover and cook on low for about 4 to 5 hours or until the meat falls apart into small pieces. Most of the sauerkraut just about disappears. 8-10 servings

SAY NO TO SUKKOT WEIGHT GAIN Besides the sukkah, lulav and etrog, Sukkot is all about food, family, friends … and more food By Adriane Stein Kozlovsky

Rosh Hashanah has its shofar, apples and honey. Yom Kippur has its tefillot (prayers) and fasting. Chanukah has its menorah and draidel. Pesach has its Seders. Shavuot has its Torah. Sukkot, except for several symbols, is really about the joy of eating in the sukkah and enjoying the friends and family you have invited. This year, it’s a three-day holiday, with Shabbat following right after, and we will be eating six meals in the sukkah, one after another. There are many challenges related to a three-day holiday, a schedule that comes every so often in the Jewish calendar. These challenges include having enough food available, especially if entertaining many family members and friends, and having a variety of foods to keep it fresh and inviting. There’s also the stress of avoiding significant weight gain. When you think about it, this year, the month of September, spanning from Rosh Hashanah through Sukkot, mimics Thanksgiving to New Year’s, when average weight gain could be three to five pounds. Also, since the holidays are a month earlier, we light the candles later, and we are eating our meals at a later hour. What are the reasons for weight gain during these marathon holidays? EATING A LARGE AMOUNT OF FOOD DURING MEALTIME. Especially if the weather is nice, it is enjoyable to sit out in the sukkah, sharing with friends and family and consuming wonderful food. Some dishes are made especially for the holiday. In addition, the food is likely to remain on the table, encouraging second helpings and nibbling, rather than being taken off the table and into the house. EATING MUCH LATER AT NIGHT. Consuming a large meal and then going to sleep, after spending most of the evening in the sukkah, soaking up great conversation and singing, causes weight gain. LACK OF EXERCISE. During the holidays, when one is grocery shopping, cooking and eating and then grocery shopping, cooking and eating some more, there is much less

time for regimented exercise or taking time out for a walk, let alone a trip to the gym. So how do we avoid excessive weight gain and keep it reasonable and manageable so that we can lose it quickly when the holiday is over? Here are some easy tips: PACE, PACE, PACE YOURSELF. Realize that if you don’t taste a delicacy at one meal, it will probably show up at another of the meals. At dinnertime, when we are probably eating at 8 p.m., don’t forget the importance of monitoring portion sizes. TRY TO AVOID EXCESS FAT AND SODIUM WHILE PUTTING TOGETHER YOUR MENUS. Include lots of dishes that are baked, broiled and grilled instead of fried, or include items with lots and lots of sauces. There is nothing more wonderful than a platter of perfectly grilled carrots, onions, sweet potatoes and turnips. CONSIDER MINDFUL EATING. It is important to really experience your food, using all five of your senses. No time is more critical to be mindful than during a three-day holiday spent with friends and family, catching up on a whole year of events and happenings. Do not go into autopilot and lose yourself in spirited conversation, while consuming way more calories than necessary. Enjoy those you love and haven’t seen for a year, but be mindful of every bite of food at the same time. DO YOGA, MEDITATION OR DEEP BREATHING. These exercises will help to keep you centered and mindful and help get you through what could be a stressful time. Even taking a walk after meals with a family member can have wonderful benefits.

At Sukkot, Turning Oy Into The Season Of Joy By Edmon J. Rodman

In open opposition to Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), which tells us on Sukkot “there is nothing new under the sun,” I decided to build a solar sukkah this fall. To energize my plan, I went to the 99 Cent Store to buy some solar yard lights to adapt for use on the roof. However, while driving home and accessing the construction work required for the upcoming holiday, I realized that my sukkah was not the only thing that was low energy. I had put up our sukkah umpteen years in a row, and this year I was thinking about giving the shack building a rest. The solar idea was nice, but in the end it wasn’t enough — just an artificial way of rekindling my interest in what had become an annual task. Couldn’t we just manage an invite from a couple of the families we had invited into our sukkah in previous years? Not an option: Among our friends there was a sukkah shortage. Over time, it seems, people get so used to visiting your sukkah that they lose touch with building their own. Sukkot is supposed to be “the season of our joy,” but after the chest pounding, shofar blowing and pleading for my life, the joy this year was hard to find. Was there a way to reset my spiritual clock and get my sukkah built? Psychology tells us that motivation comes in two forms: “intrinsic,” an internal desire to perform a particular task that gives us pleasure, such as knowing that putting up a sukkah is a mitzvah; and “extrinsic,” factors external and unrelated to a particular task but a kind of reward, such as praise from friends for putting up a sukkah.

Searching for motivation, I read where a college rabbi at Duke had run a program called “Sex and the Sukkah.” It certainly piqued my interest (although I was confused as to whether the motivation was extrinsic or intrinsic). Apparently sex is part of the mitzvah of dwelling in the sukkah. But we don’t even sleep out there, and my wife wondered nervously about the neighbors. With our children in their 20s, the motivation of putting up the sukkah for them was missing, too. Balancing on a ladder in our shaky shack just so we could hang the decorations they made in school was no longer a starter. Hanging signs of their more recent achievements — term papers, pay stubs and renderings (one of them is studying to be an architect) — was an interesting updating of the tradition, but I didn’t think the public display would be appreciated. Since with each day the pile of weathered boards and rolls of bamboo seemed to be receding farther and farther into the depths of my garage, and wondering if others might be having a similar problem, I sat down to interview a psychologist. “A lack of motivation and apathy could be a sign of depression,” said Rae Freed, a clinical social worker in private practice in Los Angeles who sees patients of all ages. Depression could show itself through “a lack of energy, fatigue, in difficulty in making a decision or lack of focus.” As we talked about the social component of the sukkah — inviting over guests — Freed suggested that potential sukkah builders might think the effort requires “too much energy to participate in a social interaction.” “That sounded about right,” I thought, thinking also of the effort it

took in past years to call people to negotiate the “right” night. Freed also spoke about seasonal depression that comes with the shortening of days from a Jewish point of view. “You build up to the High Holy Days, spending time with family, and afterwards feel the loss,” she said. “Especially when they live on the other side of the county or have passed away,” I thought. Over time, “age and strength” bec-ome factors as well, Freed said. “Yeah, that too,” I thought, then asked, “How do you get over it?” For Freed, simply pretending and putting on a “mask of joy” was not going to cover it. She countered my question with questions: “Ask yourself, ‘How did you feel in the past when you did that? Was it positive?’” “Having guests over did make me feel good,” I thought. Explaining further, Freed suggested that even if you don’t feel like doing something, it might be motivating to remember the pleasure the

activity brought, especially the communal associations. Recall the “memories of earlier Sukkots,” said Freed, who pleasantly recalled that she had spent her teen years living in an art deco hotel run by her father that catered to vacationing Jews in south Miami Beach, Fla. I remembered hosting several groups of people the previous year. It was kind of like running a sukkah hotel — tons of work, yet they sang, played instruments and filled our evenings with camaraderie. “People feel alone and isolated if they are not surrounded by family,” Freed said, suggesting the sukkah is a way of “bringing together a temporary family.” “A temporary structure for a temporary family,” I thought. Later, thinking over Freed’s words, my low-energy thoughts dissipated. Going into the recesses of my garage, I found what it would take to build my sukkah. JT Edmon J.

e Jewish view Rabbi Craig Axler

Yom Kippur 5774

True Repentance We have seen many examples this year of confession, vows and promises made in public. sports ﬁgures, politicians, entertainers. anthony Weiner, Bob Filner, Paula Deen and Ryan Braun — just a few among the many who come to mind for their acknowledgments of wrongdoing this past year. e majority fall short from the perspective of true contrition, because most have two features in common. First is the desire to do some “damage control,” to protect their public image, not to mention their corporate sponsors, donors or shareholders. The other element often seen is a feeling of anger at having been caught and at being held accountable for actions that might have been going on for quite some time but are only now revealed under the intense spotlight of media attention and scandal. maybe I’m taking a cynical view of these public confessions. admittedly, it cannot be pleasant for the celebrities who are forced to make them. But it usually seems they’re simultaneously apologizing for past transgressions and planning their glorious comeback, with little commitment to change. From a Jewish standpoint, words truly matter. Think of all the words of the machzor that have crossed our lips this high holy Days season, from Rosh hashanah to yom Kippur. “Ashamnu” (we have sinned ...). Al chet (for our wrongdoing ...). Shlach lanu (forgive and pardon us ...). But it is not only the words that count. Words can be convenient. emotions and feelings are easily faked. It is the deeds that demonstrate true contrition. There is a hint to this process of teshuvah (true repentance) in the Torah portion read in Reform practice on the morning of yom Kippur.

Deuteronomy 29 to 30 speaks of the Torah that is “not too hard for you, nor too remote. It is not in heaven that you should say, ‘who will go up for us to heaven to bring it down. ...’” Then comes a critical statement: “no, the thing is very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to observe it (la’asoto).” Literally, what we need to do is close to us. It’s in our mouths, the words that we say in our worship and beyond. It’s in our hearts, the thoughts that we have, which maybe go even deeper than the words that we bring to our lips. The big question is whether we will be able to complete the statement. La’asoto, “that you may do it.” yom Kippur is a day of many pledges, of myriad promises. It is crucial that

Move from words and rituals to action. words lead to action. The Kotzker Rebbe put it this way: “you do not fulfill your obligation by that which is in your mouth and in your heart. That which is in your mouth and your heart is for you to do.” The Prophet Isaiah urges us in the yom Kippur haftarah to move from words and rituals to action: “Is not this the fast I look for? To unlock the shackles of injustice, to undo the fetters of bondage, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every cruel chain? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and to bring the homeless poor into your house? When you see the naked, to clothe them, and never to hide yourself from your own kin?” JT Rabbi Craig Axler is spiritual leader of Temple Isaiah in Fulton, Md.
