hen Rabbi Maurice Lamm wrote his classic work, “The Jewish Way in Death and Dying,” no one could have imagined this pandemic. The Jewish community now faces a world of limited-attendance funerals, virtual shivas and signifi-

cantly altered or suspended tahara (the ritual cleansing of the deceased). There is pressure to reconsider both the traditional taboo on cremation and the extreme difficulties in carrying out the wishes of those who desired to be buried in Israel. These days, family members who want to take part in burying the deceased must bring their own shovel to the cemetery.

14,000 Jews remain in Ethiopia under appalling conditions, lacking access to adequate medical care and food. Children, pregnant women, and the elderly suffer the worst. The World Health Organization says that Ethiopia is gravely at risk to the COVID – 19 pandemic and, unfortunately, the Jews awaiting aliyah cannot implement basic preventative measures. Social distancing is impossible: families of up to 8 crowd into one-room mud huts without plumbing. They don’t have money for soap and primary medical care is beyond their means, let alone access to respirators. Please help SSEJ buy soap, pay for medical care, and provide daily meals to the quarantined elderly and immune suppressed. One nutritious meal costs $1.35. Soap for a family for a month costs $3 and a clinic visit costs $13.

Eminent Religious Zionist rabbis support efforts to help this community including: Rav Ya’akov Meidan, head of Yeshivat Har Etzion; Rav Avraham Gisser, Chief Rabbi of Ofra and head of the Education Ministry’s Religious Education Council; Rav Yoel Bin Nun, Yeshivat Har Etzion; Rav Re’Em HaCohen, Chief Rabbi of Otniel and Yeshivat Otniel; Rav David Stav, Chief Rabbi of Shoham and Head of Tzohar; Rabbi Shai Piron, Former Education Minister and leading Ethiopian kessim (traditional spiritual leaders). In a letter dated March 22, 2020, the rabbis write, “We are obligated to assist our brothers remaining in Ethiopia,” noting that “the communities in Ethiopia are under threat of the corona virus and live within the four cubits of poverty and destitution.” We need to raise $500,000 dollars to help the entire community – but every dollar counts.

Give generously to SSEJ as if Jewish lives depend upon it, because they do!

The Seder Through Stories, Not Commentaries

or Rabbi Paysach Krohn, all roads to understanding the profound themes of the Passover story don’t necessarily run through ancient Egypt. Some run through Staten Island. In his new Haggadah, “At the Maggid’s Seder: Stories and Insights of Grandeur and Redemption” (ArtScroll), the prolific author (and popular mohel) upends the traditional, commentary-laden seder text with a raft of stories and anecdotes that illuminate Passover’s message in indirect fashion. There’s a story about a poor Jew in a shtetl asking for permission to drink four cups of milk instead of wine (in the Kiddush section), because he can’t afford the more-costly libation. There’s one about an Israeli soldier challenging the country’s chief rabbi about the truth of a particular Haggadah verse (“This year, we are slaves.”), questioning if citizens of an autonomous Jewish state are indeed enslaved. And another about a hostile DMV encounter, which he relates to the plague of frogs, a lesson that teaches about patience and understanding. “The primary mitzvah of the seder is to relate the story of our Egyptian exodus,” Rabbi Krohn, who lives in Kew Gardens, writes in his Haggadah’s preface. “Stories create the strongest vehicle of connection.” His story-centric approach comes, in part, from his relationship with the late Rabbi Sholom Schwadron, a Talmudic scholar, teacher and orator who earned the unofficial title of the “Maggid of Jerusalem”; he earned that moniker for the fiery, colorful, story-filled Friday night lectures he delivered for more than four decades at a shtiebel in Jerusa-

lem’s Geula neighborhood. Rabbi Krohn has written nine previous “Maggid” books centered on the life and teachings of Rabbi Schwadron. The Staten Island story — which illuminates the phrase “Blessed be Rabbi Peysach Krohn says the name of God,” stories are “vehicles of from the Hallel sec- connection on Passover.” tion of the Hagga- COU RTESY OF R AB B I KROH N dah — involves a teacher at a yeshiva there who, racing to an appointment, hit another car. The teacher offered to pay for the damage, but asked if he could do it in installments. The other driver, a stranger, readily agreed. “Why did you trust me?” the rabbi asked when he made the final payment. The driver said she taught in the public school where the late Sheila Feinstein, wife of Rabbi Reuvein Feinstein, rosh yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Staten Island, was principal. “When I realized that you were from her tribe,” the driver answered, “I knew without a doubt that I could trust you.” For Rabbi Krohn, the story is a perfect reflection of the message of the verse. “Everyone is interested in a story,” though perhaps not rabbinical commentaries, the rabbi says about his approach; “I’m not merely a story teller, I use a story to bring out a message.” Steve Lipman

Elijah’s Quarantined in This Haggadah

he guy w h o brought you last year’s “Emoji A novel (coronavirus) Haggadah” is Haggadah text. WI KI M EDIA COM MON S tongue-incheeking it again this year with a novel (coronavirus) text. Martin Bodek, a 44-year-old language aficionado and IT specialist who lives in Passaic, N.J., released his “Coronavirus Haggadah” on social media last week as a seder supplement, satiric commentary and morale booster during these days of worry (http://tinyurl.com/ CoronavirusHaggadah). The virtual cover, aptly, is a scary-looking image of the virus spore itself. “I wanted to say to people, ‘This too shall pass over,’” quips Bodek, who said he was inspired to write this Haggadah by the “five billion” disease-related memes he read in recent weeks, including some with Pesach themes. “Humor will help us get through it.” Is a Haggadah that mocks coronavirus, on a holi-

day that commemorates freedom from slavery, appropriate? No one who has seen it seems offended, he says. “It seems that humor is the only outlet we have while we’re at home.” And so, to The Wise Child’s question — “‘What are the advisable things we should be doing during the current crisis?’ — you’ll respond by instructing the child in the responsible measures of social distancing, hand-washing” and so on. Elijah at the door? A no-show. “He was ordered to quarantine with the rest of Israel’s citizens.” The “11th Plague”? Obviously, Covid-19. Next week, the Bodek seder, often “a minyan” of family guests, will only include the five members of the immediate family. Bodek’s main Haggadah will be a facsimile of the “Sarajevo Haggadah,” which he received as a bar mitzvah gift. But he’ll read excerpts from his new text, where it will be intoned, tongue planted firmly in cheek: “Does anyone really need to ask why this night is different from all other nights?” Steve Lipman

More Firsts For YU Men’s Basketball

YU guard Ryan Turell was named one of the top five players in Division III. COU RTESY OF YESH IVA U N IVER SIT Y/VIA JTA

n a history-making season for the Yeshiva University men’s basketball team, here are a couple more firsts: two players named AllAmerica, including one on the first team, and a coach chosen as national Coach of the Year. The players are Ryan Turell, a sophomore guard from Los Angeles who was chosen as one of the top five players in the country, and Gabe Leifer, a senior forward from Lawrence, L.I., who was selected to the fourth team. The coach is Elliot Steinmetz, who in his sixth season guiding the Maccabees led the squad to a 29-1 record, the best in school history, and an appearance in the NCAA Division III’s Sweet 16. The tournament was canceled due to the coronavirus, but not until Yeshiva had won its first two games, another first for the flagship institution of Modern Orthodoxy. Turell and Leifer are the first YU players to be honored by D3hoops.com, which has been selecting All-America squads for 23 seasons. Turell, also the Skyline Conference’s Player of the Year, averaged a team best 23.9 points. The 6-7 point guard poured in 41 and 30 points, respectively, in the Macs’ NCAA tournament victories. Leifer, at 6-5, averaged 16 points per game as well as team highs with 13.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists. Under Steinmetz, Yeshiva won 29 consecutive games following an opening game loss and was ranked No. 8 in the country at one point by D3hoops.com. He is the first coach to take the Macs to the NCAA tournament, first pulling off the feat two seasons ago. But the club lost in the opening round that year. “What an amazing close to a season like no other,” the university’s director of athletics, Joe Bednarsh, said on the team’s website. “What can I say about Elliot except that he’s done everything to make this program the national force that it is and has helped energize the entire Jewish world behind the Maccabees.” Mark Brodsky/JTA

Last weekend, I went to a b’nai mitzvah (when two siblings get bar or bat mitzvahed together) at a synagogue in our nation’s capital. Only a handful of congregants were allowed to witness the event IRL (in real life).

The ABCs (and Fs) of Distance Learning

Families and faculty get used to the Zoom classroom — and consider its sustainability for the long term. Amy Sara Clark Associate Editor

or many area day schools, the first weeks of distance learning were a sprint of learning new platforms and adapting curricula, figuring out what would work in a video classroom and how to help parents and students master the steep learning curve at home. But now that families and faculty have begun to settle into life under coronavirus routine, and the prospect of social distancing has stretched New York from weeks to months, school communities are wondering how sustainable these online classrooms, however robust, will be over the long haul. “Obviously I would love for my kids to be in [a brick-and-mortar] school, but [the online-learning platform] was easy to navigate through. I think they planned it out well,” said Ren’ee Kahn-Bresler, a

photographer whose 6-year-old and 12-year-old sons go to Luria Academy of Brooklyn (where this reporter sends her third and fourth graders). So far it’s working, she said, but she’s not sure for how long. “I don’t know if the kids will get tired sitting in front of a screen.” And she’s not sure how parents trying to work at home will manage. “Because I’m not working it was OK, but if you have a little one, I don’t know how you could do it. A 6-year-old is not going to know how to use a MacBook. … You have to be sitting right there,” she said. Many day schools are running their classrooms on Zoom, the online meeting platform that allows students to log into a virtual classroom. Once there, live video thumbnails of each student appear on one side of the screen and a large image of the teacher or speaker on the other. Students can be muted unless called on, or everyone can remain unmuted, allowing for a more rapid back and forth. Teachers email parents and/or students materials

Luria has constructed the Luria@home website that serves as the students’ virtual home base. On it are links to Zoom’s virtual classrooms, class schedules, pages to schedule meetings with teachers, advice for parents and a wealth of resources for extracurricular learning and recreational activities. Preschoolers are watching videos of their teachers or meeting up through Zoom several times a day for stories, songs, phys ed and even arts-and-crafts projects. And older kids are continuing to work on the same rigorous curricula that they had in their brick-and-mortar classrooms. By the second week of at-home instruction, many parents had come to realize that their new, dual role as assistant teacher/work-from-home professional was taking a toll. Many teachers, meanwhile, are trying to engage their classes on video when they have their own children at home,

The Coronavirus Hasn’t Stopped Immigration to Israel Straight into quarantine for more than 800 olim; ‘I was freaked out,’ admits one.

Sam Sokol JTA

erusalem — Aviva Karoly, an attorney originally from Queens, and her husband, Tzvi, were raised in religious Zionist homes and always dreamed of living in Israel. In preparation, the couple had sent their 6-year old son Adi to a Hebrew-speaking preschool. They also put off purchasing a home in the United States with aliyah, or immigration to the Jewish state, on their minds. After years of discusIsrael sion and planning, they made the leap. Unfortunately, their move coincided with the outbreak of the coronavirus. “We didn’t know if the flight would go the day we were leaving,” Karoly said. “No one could tell us what to expect when we landed, if our insurance would be provided then, if transport would be provided from the airport. We were told to come up

with backups and backups.” The Karolys are far from alone. According to the Jewish Agency, the nonprofit that encourages and promotes diaspora ties and immigration to Israel, more than 800 new immigrants have arrived since the beginning of March, with another 200 expected before the start of the Passover holiday on April 8. The organization’s global call center has been fielding hundreds of calls a day, and while it is “operating in an emergency mode,” only about 100 new immigrants have canceled their plans, a spokesperson said. As the novel coronavirus has spread across the globe, killing nearly 27,000 as of Friday, Israel has not been spared. Over the past several weeks, the government has imposed a series of increasingly severe social distancing regulations, culminating in a one-week ban on most Israelis traveling more than 100 meters — the length of a football field — away from their homes. According to the Coronavirus National Information and Knowledge Center, a local con-

sortium of researchers advising the Ministry of Health, 46.9 percent of Israelis who contracted the virus did so abroad. This reality has prompted the government to require all travelers entering the country to self-isolate for two weeks upon their return. That includes new immigrants like the Karolys. “No one could tell us what to expect when we landed,” said Karoly, a 35-year old mother of two from New York’s heavily Jewish Crown Heights neighborhood. “I was freaked out. It was intimidating.” She was speaking Tuesday from quarantine in her new home in the central Israeli city of Modiin, where she was quickly escorted on arrival last week

She had to learn how to talk again; during their stretch under-

Bloch said she doesn’t lecture or criticize those younger people she hears complaining about today’s new normal. “I guess I’m very patient after what I went through.

ike most New Yorkers, Lilly Bloch, a 91-yearold Queens resident, has spent the last several weeks sheltering in place in her house. Over that time she has heard the frequent complaints about isolation, limited contact with the outside world and fear of what tomorrow will bring. She understands people’s concerns, but for her, words like “isolation” and “sheltering in place” have a different kind of echo. And while a silent killer like the coronavirus is surely frightening, being hunted by a flesh-and-blood one in a Nazi uniform is another matter altogether.

The Coronavirus Crisis “We went through so much tougher” experiences, she told The Jewish Week. “I was doing that for 2½ years.” “We” were fellow Holocaust survivors. The 2½ years were spent hiding in a hole in the ground in Poland. While most residents of their village, Podwoloczyska, were killed in the Final Solution, Bloch, her parents and an aunt caught a break. A kind-hearted Polish farmer who was a family friend, Antony Źondlo, risked his life secretly protecting them. They survived in his cramped, moldy, lightless, unheated, hillside grain cellar. The isolated farmhouse stood at the edge of a forest. Her family’s “home” until liberation was a 6-foot-by-10-foot-by-5-foot dugout. The current quarantine, Bloch said in a phone interview, isn’t so difficult. “It’s not so pleasant, but it’s not so terrible.” Bloch, who spends her days reading, watching the news on television and stepping out on her porch for a little exercise. “I cannot complain.” Bloch puts the current situation, as dangerous as it is, in perspective. “You cannot compare it

also heard about a surprise party, bris and shiva, all held online. Which brings us to Passover. There is no need to forgo tradition. Next week, instead of sitting in traffic driving to Grandma Ruth’s or Cousin Sol’s house for the first seder, American Jews — especially those with elderly or vulnerable family and friends — will be congregating in front of their screens to partake in the annual festive meal with our loved ones via Zoom, Skype, Google Hangout or other platforms. We’ll still ask the Four Questions and tell the story of the Jews escaping Egypt. When we ask “Why is this night different from all other nights?” we’ll never forget this year’s answer. And, when we recite the Ten

Plagues, we can add coronavirus as the 11th. God may have sent down frogs, lice and pestilence on the Egyptians, but we never could have imagined we’d have a modern-day epidemic of such biblical proportions. We will each open our doors for Elijah, hoping he doesn’t bring in any germs. We will pray, read from the Haggadah and sing the endless verses of Dayenu. We will partake in the traditional hand-washing — since we’re already doing it dozens of times a day, what’s one more? We’ll simultaneously eat matzah ball soup, gefilte fish, tzimmes, brisket and macaroons in our own homes. If we don’t cook, we’ll support local businesses and order take-out. We’ll pray for everyone to stay safe, sane, healthy and humane during these trying times and be thankful for what we have: food and wine, our

health, and the miracle of the Internet that makes such electronic gatherings possible. The point is, we’re all in this together, and we can still celebrate. Hiding the afikomen, however, may be a challenge. At the end of the seder, we’ll utter the customary phrase, “Next year in Jerusalem;” the hope for all Jews to be able to return to the homeland. This year, we’ll really mean it. God willing, in 2021, whether we’re in New York, Florida, California, New Zealand, Venice or Jerusalem, we truly hope to be together with our families in one place. So, let the virtual parties and milestone celebrations continue online until we can meet in person and hug and kiss our loved ones again. n Bethany Kandel is a New York City-based author and journalist.

“Now we’re all in the same boat,” she tells people. Bloch’s attitude is typical of many Holocaust survivors, said Michael Berenbaum, an author and expert on the Shoah. “Survivors have a stoic realism. For many survivors,” the reply to complaints about forced isolation because of Covid-19 is, “We experienced worse. This is not the worst thing they have gone through.” He says tens of thousands of European Jews were in hiding “for a long time,” hundreds of thousands more for a shorter duration. After liberation, Bloch and her family kept in touch with Źondlo, who died in 1954. They sent him items that he could sell amidst Poland’s depressed post-war economy. Bloch successfully nominated Źondlo to be named a Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust authority. “He was a wonderful person,” she said. Having survived in a hole in the ground, Bloch said of the current situation, “Now I have food and I have light.” And she has a hard-won positivity. “I am optimistic” about how the coronavirus outbreak will play out. Guided by her faith, Bloch said, “I hope that whatever God wants, that will happen.” n

“I was just on a conference call,” said a teacher at a Modern Orthodox day school in Bergen County who asked to remain anonymous because he is not authorized to speak to the media. “One of the teachers was overwhelmed by all of her teaching responsibilities coupled with her responsibilities as a mother and a wife. Normally she’s a teacher in school and a mommy at home. And now she’s both at home. And she’s finding it hard to juggle that.” Jewish schools have earned praise for adjusting to the new virtual reality, but also some backlash. A 90-second video of Shiri Keningsberg Levi, an Israeli mother of four and a specialeducation teacher herself, ranting about the nightmare of trying to help four children with multiple subjects, has gone viral. Titled “If Corona Doesn’t Kill Us, Distance Learning Will,” garnered millions of hits around the world. “I go from one child to the other,” Keningsberg Levi complains. “Here’s science, here’s math.

Feeling Hopeless? You’re not alone! It is, no doubt, a frightening time for all. As Coronavirus ravages our cities; fears of contamination (of ourselves and others) and practicing social distancing make us feel especially limited in our response. We want to do something. But what? This is not the first time in history that a community was faced with such a terrifying challenge. In 1752, the town of Mezibush was afflicted with a rampant and extremely contagious disease. In that time of incredible fear and uncertainty, The Baal Shem Tov was approached by community leaders with the request to pray on behalf of the town in the hopes that he would succeed in banishing the disease from their midst. The Baal Shem Tov replied that the salvation was not to come through him. Rather, he suggested that the community join together to write a Torah Scroll. They immediately leapt into action. As the quill moved across the parchment, filling the scroll with the holy words, the community miraculously began to heal. From then on this special Sefer Torah was referred to as ‘The Miracle Worker’. Now, you have the opportunity to join in a similar project. In light of this global pandemic, Jewish community leaders are drawing inspiration and strength from the Baal Shem Tov. They have initiated the writing of a Torah Scroll in the merit of a speedy and complete recovery of all those affected. Over 70,000 individuals have already partaken in this incredible initiative. Each letter is purchased by another Jew, binding everyone together in a singular scroll, a massive display of Jewish unity. You can secure your letter with a symbolic monetary donation, as much as your heart desires (Suggested donation: $2 + ). Buy a letter - Save a life!

Carolyn Koch, who has a second grader at Yavneh Academy, a Modern Orthodox day school in Bergen County, said her school has prerecorded programs and, like Mazel, live morning prayers on Zoom. “They also have cooking activities, though we haven’t checked that out yet,” she wrote. The anonymous Bergen County day schoolteacher said he has been pleasantly surprised by how similar the Zoom experience has been to his regular classes. Still, he said, “It’s more challenging to get them engaged. [Normally] we ask them questions and it’s a back and forth. It’s hard to have a back and forth online.” But there are advantages too: If there are noisy students in the class, he can just mute them. “Everyone would agree that this is less than ideal, but we’re making the best of the situation with the tools that we have,” he said. And, he added, “the kids are buying into it.” Asked how his family would get through an extended period of isolation, SAR parent Andrew Small, who has children in fourth, ninth and 12th grades, laughed a bit and said they had no other choice. “I think we’re going to have to adapt,” he said. “I think we may be doing this for a long time.” ■

THE EXAMINED LIFE BY DANIEL ROSE

is Available Now

The eagerly awaited sequel to ‘Making a Living, Making a Life’ (Kirkus Best Indie Books of 2015), ‘The Examined Life’ is the second collection of essays by noted philanthropist and real estate developer, Daniel Rose. It includes essays, speeches, editorials written for The Harlem Times, and personal vignettes from 90 years of a rich professional, philanthropic and family life. Touching on varied subjects such as international philanthropy, public education, race relations, criminal justice, religion and gentrification, this collection provides fresh insights and perspectives on a wide range of subjects at the heart of current public discourse. “Making a Living, Making a Life” earned many prestigious reviews including the following: As Fareed Zakaria wrote, “Dan Rose has created a body of work that is philosophy at its most useful, for it asks the great question first posed by the Greeks and then polished to a high finish in the Renaissance: how does one live a good life?” Praise from Henry Louis Gates was, “If anyone more profoundly lives civic engagement and commitment than Dan Rose, I have not met that person...He has provided young people with the opportunity and the incentive to dream, to learn, to grow, to fulfill those dreams.” Henry Louis Gates Jr. To order your copy in paperback on Amazon, please visit: amzn.to/38WkAcb

at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. “Aliyah has never been stopped under any emergency situation in the State of Israel,” the Jewish Agency spokesperson explained. “We’re not dissuading olim [immigrants] from coming now, but they need to know that the regulations are a bit different.” In addition to the mandatory two-week self-quarantine, immigrants must sign a declaration that they have a place in which to isolate themselves. Many newcomers who, like the Karolys, arrived through Nefesh B’Nefesh — an organization devoted to helping people immigrate to Israel and adjust to society there — already had apartments set up or relatives with whom to stay. Others, like a group of 72 Ethiopian immigrants who arrived on Tuesday, have been placed in a converted youth hostel outfitted for quarantine. The Jewish Agency says that it checks on the isolated immigrants by phone on a daily basis. Likewise, Nefesh B’Nefesh, whose staff is now working remotely, has been checking up on its clients, making regular phone calls and even sending groceries to the homes of newcomers without a pre-existing support network. “We are making sure everyone has their basic needs met,” said Nefesh B’Nefesh Executive Vice President Zev Gershinsky. Nefesh B’Nefesh has placed its biggest focus on employment for the immigrants. As the government shuts down large segments of the Israeli economy, newcomers will find it more difficult to support themselves. “We are doubling down on efforts to find more and more companies who are recruiting and push it out to our job board,” Gershinsky said. While Karoly and her husband have been unable to receive their Israeli identification cards or open a bank account while in quarantine, their neighbors have been helpful in setting up their apartment. They are even doing grocery shopping for them, she said. “Literal strangers helped with everything, even towels and hangers. Our every need has been taken care of,” Karoly said. “My son is so excited to be here. We’ve been

blessed with a private garden and he’s been outdoors 80 percent of the day playing with toys people keep dropping off. We will all go stir crazy, but for now it’s an exciting experience.” Miriam Yifrach, 23, a returning citizen who made aliyah from Boston last week after finishing a master’s degree, said her arrival in Israel was a surreal experience. “I got to the airport and everyone was in masks and there were no lines,” she recalled. Yifrach was unable to take care of most of the usual aliyah logistics that many immigrants handle at the airport with the help of groups like Nefesh B’Nefesh. Instead, she was sent straight from Ben Gurion to her temporary rental apartment in Jerusalem. Her brother, who is currently serving in the Israeli army, sent her a spare SIM card and his credit card number so she could have internet access (she’s producing a vlog) and order food. Otherwise nothing is ready. “I’m like this cat that wandered in. I have this passport but that’s it,” Yifrach said. “It’s a little crazy having groceries delivered and going between the same two rooms and a garden, but I have no regrets. Definitely not.” Another couple that made aliyah last week were Joel and Tsipporah Adelman of Huntington, L.I., retirees who went straight into quarantine in the English-speaking Jerusalem suburb of Ramat Beit Shemesh Alef, where their son and his family reside. “Things are bad worldwide, but this has been our goal and our dream for decades, so we came even though we knew that it wouldn’t be easy getting here. And it wasn’t,” said Joel Adelman, who spent years as a rabbi on Long Island. “There were questions if they would let us on the flight, and when we got to the airport it was deserted and nobody knew what to do.” The couple acknowledge that they are going a bit “stir crazy,” but their son lives nearby and is bringing them groceries. Their daughter-in-law is cooking meals for them to be delivered as well. To stave off boredom, Joel says he tries to learn Torah and Tsipporah says she has been reading a “never-ending supply of books.” Despite the quarantine, Joel said, “we’re ecstatic to be here.” ■

magine gradually losing vision in one eye so severely you are bumping into things, and then having your vision restored to 20/40 in that eye through a groundbreaking procedure. This is exactly what happened to Dr. Charlotte Slopak-Goller, thanks to the innovative work of Dr. Itay Lavy, M.D., an ophthalmologist at Hadassah University Medical Organization (HMO) in Jerusalem. He is the leading ophthalmologist worldwide for the secondary corneal transplant, which restored Dr. Slopak-Goller’s vision. Dr. Slopak-Goller, 73, a retired psychoanalyst who was born in New London, Conn. and made Aliyah 26 years ago, suffered from an eye disease (possibly genetic) called keratoconus. This occurs when the cornea (the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye) thins and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape, causing blurred vision and may cause sensitivity to light and glare. “I had a first corneal transplant in my left eye about 38 years ago at Mt. Sinai Hospital when I was living in Manhattan,” said Dr. Slopak-Goller. Although this procedure’s results lasted many years, her vision slowly began to deteriorate in her left eye and she relied on her right eye. “I stopped driving a car and started to bump into things because I was not using my left eye,” she said. That’s when Dr. Lavy, a cornea specialist, stepped into the story. “The secondary corneal transplant procedure is to rehabilitate corneal grafts that lost the ability to ‘pump’ fluid from the cornea,” said Dr. Lavy, 41, who improved this life-changing procedure to achieve better results. “Instead of replacing the whole graft, which poses a higher risk for graft rejection, we selectively replace only the diseased part of the cornea.” In contrast to replacing the full corneal graft, he said, “The secondary corneal transplant procedure allows a much lower rejection rate, is much safer during surgery, and in the post-operative period there are much less complications, such as loose sutures because

Mourning Rituals continued from page 1

“In my 50-plus years of working in this industry, I’ve never seen anything like this,” Edward Yarmus, a longtime funeral director of Plaza Jewish Community Chapel on the Upper West Side, told The Jewish Week. Families have also had to adjust to New York guidelines calling for limited attendance at funerals, like any other gathering. “As it is, it is so painful for the family to have the outlet for communal sharing in funerals and mourning cut off. You can’t eulogize in the comfort of a chapel; you can’t gather to offer comfort,” said Rabbi Gerald Skolnik of the Forest Hills Jewish Center.

“This flies in the face of everything in Jewish life about death and dying. The virus challenges everything we’re about in terms of community.” Rabbi Kenneth Brander, president and rosh yeshiva of Ohr Torah Stone in Israel, a network of Modern Orthodox institutions founded by Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, recently took a groundbreaking and controversial stand on cremation, as reported in The Times of Israel. He ruled that in Europe, where cremation may be required for reasons of public health, Jewish communities should embrace the practice, which is otherwise seen as a desecration of Jewish law. (Some countries are prohibiting burials for victims of coronavirus out of fear that it increases transmission.) “The highest honor that a person who isn’t alive

can achieve is to help the living,” Rabbi Brander told The Times of Israel, and that in the context of saving another life, it would be seen as “a mitzvah that the deceased is doing posthumously.” The ultimate concern, he said, is to take care of the living. Rabbi Elchonon Zohn, director of the Chevra Kadisha of the Vaad Harabonim of Queens and director of the National Association of Chevra Kadisha, made it clear in a brief telephone interview that he was not responding per se to Rabbi Brander’s guidelines, but said that the laws of the Torah are very clear on this. “The answer is that cremation is not an option, whatsoever. Every Jews needs to be buried,” he said. “It’s a requirement in the Torah, without any interpretation possible. “We bury treasure. You burn trash,” Rabbi Zohn continued. “Burning is a desecration.” Rabbi Zohn’s group updated its website with new guidelines for performing a tahara. During the ritual, the body is carefully washed and then dressed in shrouds. Specific guidelines call on members of a volunteer burial society, or chevra kadisha, to travel to the funeral home in separate cars, use a bleach solution rather than water for the ritual washing, sanitize the body bag and take new measures to deal with issues like attached tubing. He notes that these guidelines, which contradict what he has taught for many years, are difficult for him to recommend and distribute, but that the “Torah requires that we react to special times with special rules.” “We want to ensure everyone’s safety,” Stephanie Garry, Plaza’s chief administrative officer, says. For the near term, she added, Plaza will only be conducting graveside funerals. Plaza now refers families to an online casket site rather than its showroom, helps families organize graveside services and can provide a phone stand-in order to broadcast a memorial service via Zoom. Its funeral directors are working onsite, while Yarmus is taking the first calls from families from home. “It can be overwhelming for families to make these decisions. We’ve had people who’ve died from Covid-19 whose spouse is in isolation and can’t attend the funeral,” Garry says. She explains that Plaza does not have a policy about doing the tahara, and rather leaves decisions to families, clergy and the chevra kadisha group. It recommends that the members of the chevra kadisha be very mindful of distancing and follow stringent procedures for

delphia, as well as an ordained Kohenet and a member of a Philadelphia chevra. “The protective equipment we need to keep ourselves safe, in caring for the dead, should instead be transferred to caring for the still living,” she said. “We should be transferring our protective equipment to healthcare personnel, who need it most right now.” Andrew Kaplan, who has chaired the chevra kadisha of The Jewish Cen-

avid Zinner is executive director of the national organization Kavod v’Nichum (Honor and Comfort), a Marylandbased educational organization dedicated to end-of-life issues. Its website includes Rabbi Zohn’s recommendations as well as its own, based on the findings of a panel of scientific experts, including physicians involved in infectious disease, public health, emergency medicine and safety as well as infection control specialists. While Zinner recognizes that individual chevras will make their own best decisions, he is suggesting that groups avoid doing tahara, at least for a while, for the safety of the team members. The organization’s website suggests alternative rituals, like saying prayers on a Zoom call or going to the cemetery at a later time, and doing a symbolic tahara through pouring water and saying prayers. Some suggest taking the precautions even more strongly. Ellie Barbarash, a member of the panel of experts who wrote the manual on safety precautions for chevre kaddish, recommends, “in the strongest words possible, that taharot cease at this time. This is not just because of the hazards to the people performing this holy act, but because of the hazards we pose to each other in breaking our quarantine and working shoulder to shoulder. Care and honor of the living must supersede care and honor of the dead.” Barbarash is the Health and Safety Coordinator for a union of more than 13,000 nurses in New Jersey and Phila-

ter, a Modern Orthodox congregation on the Upper West Side for more than 20 years says that his group is, for now, suspending doing tahara for the deceased in Covid-19 related deaths. Other local synagogues have done the same. While Kaplan is very pained by not being able to perform this last ritual for Jewish Center members, he says, “the bigger issue is putting the lives of the people in the room in danger.” The chevra considering alternatives like special prayers. “We are in a whole new world,” Kaplan says. About a month ago, in anticipation, he ordered 60 N-95 masks as protective gear for his team. They still have not arrived, but when they do, he will donate them to hospitals. “They are saving lives. To hold these masks would be irresponsible.” Rabbi Skolnik of Forest Hills is fascinated by Rabbi Brander’s position on cremation, which he finds “radical for an Orthodox rabbi.” He says that in the past, when people in his Conservative synagogue had approached him about cremation, he tried to talk them out of it “until I am blue in the face. I would still advise people to go the traditional route. If there comes a time when it is simply not possible to do in-ground burial because of health considerations, we’ll deal with it then.” Rabbi Skolnik adds, “I have nothing but respect for people who have needed to stretch halacha to accommodate what they perceive as the needs of the hour. I don’t think these times call for judgmentalism — they call for a maximum of understanding.” ■

Why is Passover different from all other weeks? Because in the middle of the seven-day festival, on April 12, Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz’s allocated time to form a government that he would head comes to an end, and with it, his major leverage against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

form a government, including from the entire Joint List of majorityArab parties. Israel’s political arena has since been reordered, with the Yesh Atid and Telem factions breaking away from Blue and White to leave it with just 17 seats, after Gantz broke agreements with his party co-leaders, and repeated promises to the electorate not to sit in government with the indicted Netanyahu, and began negotiations with the Likud incumbent to form a joint government. But the possibility of a minority government headed by the Blue and White leader still, at least in theory, hovers over the unity talks in a threat to Netanyahu. If the prime minister does not follow through with his promises to give the center-left bloc half of the cabinet portfolios in the emerging government, and if he does not budge on several key appointments seen as unacceptable to Blue and White, a minority government headed by Gantz could still be formed. That’s why, despite being in the middle of talks to allow Netanyahu to serve as prime minister for the next 18 months, the former IDF chief still retains the mandate to form a government that he would head, and isn’t planning on giving it up until he needs to. In the meantime, Gantz also holds another piece of leverage over Netanyahu: the threat of legislation that would prevent him from serving as prime minister. As the 23rd Knesset was being sworn in, Blue and White, still then a united opposition party, filed three pieces of legislation with that goal: The first would limit a prime minister to two terms in office — Netanyahu has served a total of four terms, plus two terms as transitional prime minister; the second would bar people facing criminal charges from serving as ministers or prime ministers; and the third would prohibit a lawmaker under indictment from being tasked with forming a government. All three would disqualify Netanyahu from

continuing to serve. As newly elected speaker of the Knesset, a position he agreed to take in order to allow coalition negotiations to take place, Gantz could still push through a legislative agenda aimed at preventing Netanyahu, whose corruption trial was delayed from March 17 to May due to the coronavirus crisis, from retaining the premiership. Gantz’s shock move into the speaker’s chair on Thursday was what led to the splintering of the Blue and White alliance, which had campaigned during the three elections over the past year on ousting Netanyahu, due to his indictment on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. With Gantz now facing hostile opposition from Yesh Atid-Telem, however, some in Netanyahu’s religious-right bloc, including within his Likud party, believe the premier is making too-significant concessions to the center-left bloc and sidelining current coalition ministers. Additionally, with two rightist Knesset members from Moshe Ya’alon’s Telem faction — Zvi Hauser and Yoaz Hendel — having formed their own faction, which they say will work together in a coalition with Gantz’s, Netanyahu could potentially even form a government without Blue and White. With Hauser, Hendel and Gesher Knesset member Orly Levy Abekasis, who left the Labor-GesherMeretz union and has said she will join a unity government, the prime minister could boost his bloc of 58 supporters to 61, negating the need to bring in Blue and White at all. Amid criticism that he is therefore being too generous, Netanyahu spoke to his right-wing and religious political allies on Sunday night to reassure them about the coalition talks, calling reports on the distribution of cabinet portfolios “total fake news.” For now, with time working in his favor and eroding Gantz’s negotiating power, Netanyahu may be right. ■

“Dr. Helmreich was a wonderful advisor and mentor. He was incredibly supportive of and enthusiastic about my work, generous with his time and vast knowledge, and unfailingly upbeat,” Winston said in an email. “My research was on chasidic people who were leading ‘double lives’ within their communities. At one point, Dr. Helmreich expressed an interest in meeting one of my key informants, a young chasidic man who was deeply connected to his community but no longer abiding by all of its rules. Dr. Helmreich asked me if this man would be willing to meet him and his wife and suggested a place on the Upper West Side. “My informant was nervous about the meeting, far out of his Brooklyn comfort zone, but also

excited that such a well-known academic would be interested in his life, what he thought and had to say,” Winston remembered. “I will never forget that evening — how open Dr. Helmreich and his wife were, and how they so effortlessly put this young man at ease with their warmth. I have no doubt the man will not forget it, either.” Dr. Helmreich is survived by his wife, Helaine, and three children, Jeffrey, Joseph and Deborah. Over the decades, William Helmreich taught thousands of students and served as dissertation advisor for hundreds. “His many books as well his students,” Sarna said, “will be his legacy.” n steve@jewishweek.org

as well as “The Manhattan Nobody Knows: An Urban Walking Guide” and “The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6,000 Miles in the City.” Each chronicles his travels, by foot, on all of the streets of the Big Apple. “After his book on New York City, we spent a day together, traversing the Bronx, Manhattan and several neighborhoods in Brooklyn,” including Bushwick, Williamsburg and Greenpoint, said Sandee Brawarsky, Jewish Week culture editor. “He drove like the taxi driver he once was, knew the shortcuts, so comfortable behind the wheel, noticing everything, as when he’d walk down streets. On street level, he struck up conversation all along the way, noticed so many details, remembered every detail. “He was also a gentle, very thoughtful, very generous guy, remembering all the small things,” Brawarsky said. “He still had so many miles to walk.” Dr. Helmreich was also the author of “The Enduring Community: The Jews of Newark and MetroWest,” about the demise of a fabled Jewish community and its move to the suburbs. Rabbi Dale Polakoff, spiritual leader of the Great Neck Synagogue, said Dr. Helmreich was an active supporter of the congregation and of the North Shore Hebrew Academy, the local day school. “He would do anything we asked of him. He wasn’t looking for honor, to be recognized for anything. “He loved coming to shul — to daven, to connect with people,” Rabbi Polakoff said. When Dr. Helmreich’s son Alan died suddenly about 20 years ago, during Sukkot, he showed up that night at the rabbi’s house; both Orthodox, they would not use the telephone on the holy day. After he broke the tragic news, Dr. Helmreich told the rabbi, “Please keep this quiet. I don’t want to ruin anyone else’s holiday.” “He was thinking of others,” Rabbi Polakoff said. Curious about a virtually unlimited range of topics, Dr. Helmreich over the decades met and befriended people from many religious and ethnic backgrounds, from Black Panthers to chasidic rebbes. Though a member of the Orthodox community, he was at ease with Jews of all denominations. Though a trained academic, he wrote in a style accessible to anyone. Though he grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, born in Switzerland in 1945 to survivors, he exuded, his friends said, a captivating optimism. Dr. Helmreich “never forgot that he was the son of survivors – he was acutely aware of the [lost] world he came from,” said Jonathan Sarna, professor of American Jewish history at Brandeis University. Like many Second Generation children, Dr. Helmreich was driven to succeed, Sarna said. “I’ve known other children of survivors. Many of them had seen [the example of] their parents, who had to remake their lives” in this country. “He was a volcano,” Sarna said. “He was a powerhouse.” “The world and the field of sociology have lost a gem,” said Hella Winston, a sociologist and investigative journalist who has written extensively for The Jewish Week. Dr. Helmreich was the Ph.D. dissertation adviser for Winston, who graduated in 2006 from the CUNY Graduate Center.

an $11 million allocation that is in addition to the $23 million disbursed last week to provide emergency funding for essential food programs and to provide its network of human service agencies with cash flow. The majority of JCCs in the U.S. are closed to stop the spread of the coronavirus, prompting an urgent plea to Jewish philanthropists to provide or guarantee $1 billion in low or no-cost credit to ensure they reopen. In the San Francisco Bay Area, more than 700 employees at four local JCCs have been temporarily laid off, according to the newspaper J. In suburban Philadelphia, the Kaiserman JCC furloughed 176 of its 178 full- and part-time employees on March 27, according to the Jewish Exponent. In a statement to The Jewish Week, the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan did not say how many staff members had been laid off, saying only: “Like many JCCs and nonprofits around the country, the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan has had to make thoughtful and sometimes painful decisions regarding staffing as a result of revenue loss due to COVID-19 and social distancing. The JCC sees our staff as family and our hope is that these changes are temporary. We look forward to reopening our doors as a strong, sustainable institution when this crisis ends.” Doron Krakow, president and CEO of the Jewish Community Center Association, said the Suffolk Y JCC and the Mid-Island Y, both on Long Island, have also laid off staff. Other local JCCs did not return calls seeking comment. The JCC Manhattan and JCC Harlem are closed at least until April 19, and remaining activities have moved online. The JCC Manhattan announced on March 23 that six people on its staff, board and “our JCC community” tested positive for Covid-19, and that all recovering. The 92nd Street Y is also closed, with all its scheduled in-person programs suspended. Some JCCs continue operating food pantries and providing meals to seniors — including Passover dinners. Rick Lewis, CEO of the Mid-Island Y JCC in Plainview and the Suffolk Y JCC in Commack, said the Mid-Island Y is still operating its food pantry and the Suffolk Y is operating its lunch program for seniors. In an open letter to the Jewish funder community, Krakow wrote that 80 percent of an average JCC’s income is dependent on fee-for-service revenue that has now stopped, compelling “otherwise sound institutions” to be concerned about insolvency “owing entirely to the impact of an act of God.” When they will be able to reopen is still unknown. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said of most institutions Tuesday, “It is not going to be soon.” The White House this week extended until April 30 social-distancing regulations, and New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio Tuesday directed police to begin issuing fines of $250 to $500 for people not following that directive. In New York State, coronavirus cases topped

75,000 on Tuesday, and the death toll reached 1,550. In an interview with The Jewish Week, Krakow said JCCs are dealing with two problems: getting through the shutdown period and then how they will resume operations once the shutdown ends. “When the crisis is finally behind us those institutions that suffered financial harm will need capital to get back up with their early childhood programs, programs for seniors, after school activities and programs for families,” he said. “Families that use these programs will themselves be injured by the impact on the economy, and their ability to pay for the services at the same level as in the past will be diminished. We are making this call for a $1 billion capital backstop … to allow our institutions to be able to plan thoughtfully for the day after, knowing that there will be resources there for them.”

JCCs could still require a half-billion dollars after they reopen.

Krakow said that he is estimating that once the JCCs reopen, they will require “as much as a halfbillion dollars over a two-year period and we would expect to repay it over the following seven or eight years.” In addition to aid to JCCs, UJA-Federation is allocating $250,000 in emergency cash support for low-income CUNY Hillel students. The grants would be up to $1,000 per student. It is also allocating $300,000 to six JCCs that are longtime participants in the UJA Single Parent Initiative because, it said in a statement, the coronavirus “crisis is having an outsized effect” on approximately 160 single parents who require emergency cash to cover their basic expenses for food, medical care, and rent. In addition, the organization is allocating $250,000 to the Hebrew Free Burial Association to “ensure dignified Jewish burials” for every Jew regardless of financial means. The association anticipates a 20 to 30 percent increase in burials because of the disease in the next few months and the grant would cover the cost of 100 burials.

Krakow said he was “thrilled to hear” of the help UJA-Federation is providing the JCCs here. He noted that Jewish federations in Miami and Chicago are also providing help to their JCCs. He said the JCCA would be “reaching out to every federation individually” to ask them to help their local JCCs. He noted that many JCCs have already laid off 60 to 90 percent of their staff. The Suffolk Y senior lunch program continues to operate because of a contract with Suffolk County. It is open to anyone 60 and older who lives in the county. It was started in 2017 after the Jewish Association Serving the Aged ended its senior programs on Long Island, according to Janine Mandera, coordinator of the Suffolk Y’s senior nutrition program. The lunches are packed in bags and may be picked up in front of the Y, where a staffer wearing gloves will place them in the back seat. A $4 suggestion donation is requested for each lunch. “We are reaching out to everyone who walked through our door in the last year to make sure everyone has what they need at home,” Mandera said. “We have volunteers who will drop things off at their homes, and we are finding that more and more seniors are asking for help.” In addition to providing lunches, the Y has asked its seniors if they would like a free Passover dinner. Some 130, about 80 percent of whom live alone, said they did, Mandera said. “The reason we are doing the Passover meals is because so many seniors are isolated in their homes,” said Tina Block, the Ys chief program officer for adult services. “Normally, they would have traveled to their family. But since they are alone, we are offering this option. If they are able to pick it up at the JCC we will give it to them; otherwise we will drop it off at their home.” The meals are being provided free through a $250,000 grant from UJA-Federation of New York. Rebecca Saidlower, UJA-Federation’s executive director of regional planning, said that nearly 8,500 pre-made Passover seder meals would be provided to all those in need. In addition to a complete chicken meal, each household will receive a seder plate with all of the seder items, matzah and grape juice, she noted. “This year we knew there would be even more people who would not be able to get to a store or to a family member or would be struggling because they maybe just lost their job,” Saidlower said. “The meals are going to seniors, single parent families, Holocaust survivors – folks in need at any stage in life. And we built a new web platform for people looking for seder rituals: how-to-seders, a list of virtual seders and online seder classes.” (UJA-Federation’s Passover resource page is: ujafedny.org/Passover-resources.) Meanwhile, supermarkets report that they have an ample supply of kosher-for-Passover food, including fresh meat and chickens. And they were taking extra sanitary precautions because of the coronavirus. One store, Gourmet Glatt Emporium in Cedarhurst, even stationed a security guard at the front door to take customer’s temperatures with a thermal temperature gun as they entered. n

Death and Life, Freedom and Captivity

ou knew when Steve Steiner called you at work, it wouldn’t take very much of your time. The longtime public relations director for the Orthodox Union, until his retirement a few years back, Steve would identify himself and say, “I just want to draw your attention to a news release I sent you a little while ago.” No haranguing, no nudzhing. Just a gentle reminder to check your inbox. That gentle Steve, 75, fell victim to a relentless virus this week, becoming one of the more than 900 New Yorkers to succumb to Covid-19 by Tuesday. Although every life lost is precious, the dreadful reality of the pandemic is being felt in the list, sure to grow, of accomplished members of our community who have died from the disease. We’ve already had to say goodbye to William Helmreich, 74, a sociologist of Jewish life who read every street of his beloved New York as if it were a sacred text (see his obituary on page 20), and Maurice Berger, 63, a curator and historian who shaped numerous groundbreaking exhibitions at The Jewish Museum. The toll of the disease is often described in the cold but necessary numbers of epidemiology, and the numbers themselves begin to lose meaning as they grow. But the victims, we must always remember, are our friends, our colleagues and our neighbors. We must do all we can to contain this virus, not just for the good of our own communities but for

everyone, everywhere. If that means sacrificing some of our most cherished rituals, including the rituals that let us mourn our loved ones in ways that our tradition prescribes and their memory demands, so be it. Similarly, this will be a Passover like no other, as we give up the embrace of our extended families for safe, secluded seders. In a season that celebrates freedom, we will contemplate our seeming helplessness before an unseen enemy. A festive holiday will be haunted by illness and death, and chairs will be left empty temporarily and, sadly, forever. We may shiver as we recall the 12th chapter of Exodus, when, during the final plague — the death of the firstborn of Egypt — the Torah describes the wailing that was heard “Ki ein bayit asher ein sham meit,” for there was no household that was spared. This year demands that we mark Passover as a holiday of contradictions: darkness and light, life and death, freedom and captivity. We will have to learn new lessons from an old text, and connect with loved ones in unfamiliar ways. And mostly, we will need to care for each other, to comfort the mourners, pray for the ill and cherish the bonds of kinship and biology that attach us to yoshvei tevel — all who dwell on earth. In this period of peril and clashing priorities, we are being asked — no, commanded — to choose life.

LETTERS

Coming Together as a Community

I wanted to respectfully share a thought with you regarding the choice of your March 20 editorial (“Strong Leadership in Perilous Times”). I rarely share my opinion, and in my note along with a donation I sent in December I expressed that while I usually don’t agree with the editorials of the paper, the primary importance of having a community newspaper geared towards the local diverse Jewish community is paramount. I believe however that the editorial was misplaced. At a time when the local community, the state, nation, and world, is dealing with tremendous change and anxiety related to financial struggles, isolation, fear of where the elderly will obtain food, what will happen for the holidays, etc., the editors decided to take the opportunity to once again criticize the president. I am not suggesting that the handling of this crisis does not warrant criticism, but perhaps instead of quoting from Berachos (using the timely Daf Yomi), you could have chosen to write about the week’s Torah portion of Vayakhel, of coming together as a community, describing what is being performed in our community and what can be done moving forward — this would been a lot more in line with the benefits of such publications like The Jewish Week and the New Jersey Jewish News. Please know I have tremendous respect for you as individuals and the mission of the paper. However, as a reader who understands where the editors stand politically (I don’t think anyone has any question about this), I humbly request that the paper focus its editorials especially at this time on what the community is in need of most. And that is not more ways to blame the president. Rather perhaps, words of possible comfort, guidance, perhaps even some pleasure in hearing what some people in our community are doing for each other, would be of greater value.

I enjoyed reading the Editor’s Column, “Put Yourself on Mute, and Other Tips for a Virtual Seder” (March 27). My plans for visiting my children in Israel for Passover had to be cancelled. I also decided not to risk travelling to share the joys of the seders with my children in a nearby state. Therefore, I was planning to have

a “solo seder” in my home in New York City. One night, I had an epiphany: Why not borrow a custom from Sukkot and adapt it to Pesach? I would invite “ushpizin” to my seder so that it would no longer be a solo seder for me. Of course, they would be virtual guests — and we would sit with a respectful space from each other. Here is the list of biblical visitors I would invite — all of whom had experienced the Exodus from Egypt: 1. Elijah the Prophet — whose wine cup would already be on the table — and who is a ubiquitous hero in our lives. 2. Miriam the Prophetess, whose water-well bowl/cup would also be already on the table — a woman who sings beautifully with a dancing heart. 3. Moshe, Miriam’s youngest brother — who is the hero of the Exodus from Egypt for pleading our cause on behalf of the Jewish People (with some help, of course). 4. Aharon, Miriam’s older brother and peacemaker extraordinaire — who should not feel left out since he spoke in place of Moshe. 5. Nachshon — the catalyst for the miracle splitting of the Reed Sea (although maybe someone gave him a little push). 6. Serach bat Asher, the granddaughter of Jacob — the wise child who understood how to reveal to her grandfather that his beloved son Joseph was alive in Egypt after all those years, and because of that, was granted by God to live forever. In addition to all the symbolic items on the seder plate, I also plan to have pomegranates and apples on the table, as a remembrance of how, as the Israelites crossed the dry path with the waters rising high like walls on both sides, mothers plucked these fruits out of the waters for their children to eat. I will welcome my visitors by opening my door wide and we will share many stories and songs “together.” In fact, I believe that I will still be the youngest person at the table so I will ask the Four Questions — and then as the “Maggid” I will answer by telling the story.

‘Civilian Guilt’ Can be a Healthy Response to a Pandemic While Passover shows how hope translates into action.

rying to get our minds off of the coronavirus, we made the terrible mistake of watching a threehour adaption of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.” Here’s the plot: Ten people are trapped in a grand house on a remote island, where they are stalked by an invisible killer. As one by one the guests meet a gruesome death, the survivors begin to turn on each other and eventually go mad. At times it felt like a home movie. I realize how privileged I am (kayn ayin hara) to be even joking about the coronavirus. As I write this, New York has tallied 66,497 positive cases of Covid-19 and more than 1,300 related deaths; in New Jersey, the numbers are 13,386 and 161. Each of these numbers is a person — terrified, sick, dying or dead. Remembering that, the articles about “Free Entertainment to Help You Survive Social Distancing” and “How Not to Tank Your Relationship in Quarantine” begin to feel obscene. The virus is cleaving society. There are those who are lucky enough to still be working, and to be able to do so from home and follow the distancing directives without much hardship. And then there are those for whom a paycheck means showing up, or whose small businesses will go under, or whose family members need the kinds of care that have become a low priority in the face of the pandemic. And then there are the nurses and doctors, the ambulance drivers and the paramedics, the firefighters and the policer officers. If we are the home front, then they are on the frontlines, facing a harsh reality that we can only glimpse in videos of mobbed emergency rooms and tempo-

rary morgues. Not two miles away, my local hospital has six full floors dedicated to Covid-19 patients — or about 80 percent of the hospital. Its critical care unit declined admissions for non-virus patients, and 20 to 30 health care workers and other staff are under quarantine. The contrast between my inconvenience and their pitched battle leaves me with something akin to survivor’s guilt. In 2011, Lauren Bailey,

Andrew Silow-Carroll

a civilian working at the Department of Veterans Affairs, confessed to what she called “civilian guilt” for having sat it out when many of her peers joined up for the military following the September 11 attacks. In her work with veterans, she writes, “I become more ashamed that I did so little while they were out doing so much, and then my shame becomes guilt and then guilt becomes worry that my guilt is overshadowing my gratitude. It’s a vicious cycle.” I justify myself, not unreasonably, by saying that the best thing I can do for overwhelmed first responders and medical staff is to stay home and healthy, and not risk either getting or spreading the virus. And I am blessed to work at a newspaper, where I can help share the stories of those making real sacrifices and offer ways for others to help them and the vulnerable. Guilt is of course a very Jewish concept, and a

healthy one if it spurs you to repentance and action, as it should (to quote that alleged anti-Semite Voltaire: “Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do”). Come Passover, we reenact the rituals and deprivations of enslavement in part to learn from our own freedom. My friend and teacher Rabbi Eliezer Diamond, a Talmud and rabbinics professor at The Jewish Theological Seminary, put it better in a recent Facebook post about celebrating Passover during a pandemic: In this moment we are not free. We are subject to a force that eludes our present efforts to halt and defeat it. Some of us will be sick; some will die. Some already have. But we cannot live without hope — not the passive hope that consists of waiting for God to make things whole again, but the hope that translates into action, into doing everything we can to counter this scourge. And let’s take a page out of the Passover playbook. The first Passover reconstituted the Israelite families that had been cruelly torn apart by the dehumanizing forces of slavery. Today we are all one family. Call people you know and people you don’t. Help others in every way you can. Participate in virtual minyanim and other events. We are stronger than we know. One Monday I listened in on a coronavirus webinar hosted by UJA-Federation of New York, which included advice from Dr. Douglas Nixon, professor of immunology in medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. Asked what gives him hope, he said, “We have medical science that soon will be able to make that vaccine and come up with those drugs. Our focus is where it should be.” But, he added, science can’t do what charities and volunteers can

DEN N I S F R AEVICH/F LICKR COM MON S do, “like distributing [goods and comfort] to vulnerable people who need it.” I suspect, or at least I hope, that when the outbreak eases it will force a reckoning: with our society’s huge gaps in class and privilege, with a health care system that leaves too many

people needlessly vulnerable, with short-sighted policies that favor profits over public health and environmental damage. In short, many of us may be just “civilians” in this siege, but perhaps it will make us better and more caring citizens. n

Freedom in Confinement David Wolpe

n the 16th century, the great Rabbi, the Maharal of Prague, wrote that Passover changed the nature of the Jewish people, making them free even throughout the captivities of history. This theme was expressed in the 20th century by Rabbi Aryeh Levin, the Tzaddik of Jerusalem, who used to visit prisons and tell prisoners that genuine freedom began not from without, but from within. In Musings our own time, luminaries such as Nelson Mandela and Natan Sharansky, although in prison, testified that they felt freedom in their souls. For many of us this will be the first Pesach when we are uncomfortable leaving our own homes, almost as if captives. But restrictions without can create space within. There are universes to be explored in each one of us, and the ocean is no less a world than the sky. Be prepared to dive; in exploration and discovery is freedom. All over the world on the seder night, Israel will be singing. The collective chorus proves that thousands of years later, we are still free.

Notes from the Coronavirus Underground

We had a great week there … but we canceled plans to go on to Barcelona.” Although the coronavirus had struck China, my husband Thinking and I were Aloud n o t c o n cerned about traveling or catching it. There had been no cases in Israel and a relatively small number in the United States. We reluctantly canceled our planned trip to Barcelona only because we worried we might get stuck in some kind of lockdown there. A week after our

And we have tickets for ‘The Lehman Trilogy’ tonight; when will we see it now? Suddenly all the events we were supposed to go to have been canceled, even the Jewish Book Awards.” In less than a week everything had changed. The virus swamped New York, the stock market went crazy and fear began to gnaw at our hearts, especially among those of us labeled “most vulnerable” because of our age. We shouldn’t have been at that Purim spiel with all those people, I muttered again and again. What if we get sick? My daughter and her family came to our home for din-

a pandemic. ‘Social distancing’ is the order of the day.” Golda Meir and her friends, who had all recovered from the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, lightheartedly referred to it as the “fashionable disease.” Will we ever be able to look back that way at our current pandemic? Now my daughter and family can no longer visit — any contact is too dangerous. These days if I happen to pass another person in the street, I move far to the side and so does that person, each of us eyeing the other almost suspiciously. Is he a carrier of the virus? Has she sneezed or coughed, polluting the air? How lonely our existence has become. March 23. “We’re told to stay home all the time now — I’m not even sure we should take walks any more. It’s so scary.”

The Outside has become distant, even mysterious. When I look out the window I see trees in bloom and daffodils on the ground. When did that happen? The world moving on without us. There are moments when I become paralyzed with fear, but I try to remind myself that this will pass, as have other bad times we’ve lived through. All sorts of experts appear on online with conflicting advice. I like the physician who said simply that if you keep your hands clean at all times and away from your face, you will not get the virus. My hands are red and rough from scrubbing, but are they ever clean! March 26. “Finally notified everybody that the Passover seders are cancelled.

Washington’s Stimulus Efforts Should Extend to Nonprofits

ast week, Congress passed a $2 trillion package to try to support American citizens and the American economy in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. This was Washington’s third effort on this front and it was focused on stabilizing the economy by providing unprecedented financial support to small and large businesses. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, t h e “CARES Act” fell short in supporting one critical sector — America’s charities. While a broad coalition of nonprofit charitable or-

ganizations – including the Orthodox Union, Catholic Charities, Red Cross, Goodwill, YMCA, Jewish federations, American Cancer Society and more — succeeded in our advocacy to have nonprofits eligible to participate in the financial support programs being offered, Congress failed to adopt our boldest proposals in this otherwise ambitious legislation. In the Jewish community in particular, many synagogues and day schools will indeed qualify or some federal support — and it will be a financial lifeline for them in this crisis. But some restrictions may leave others (our “larger” schools, federations and social service agencies)

$2 trillion goes a long way, but not long enough. with little, if any support. Nonprofit charities — including synagogues and day schools — are eligible for the

core programs offered in the CARES Act. These include forgivable loans from the Small Business Administration of up to $10 million, the deferral of paying payroll taxes and a refundable tax credit against those payroll taxes if employees are retained on staff, and more. But the legislation fell short in providing the level of support for which we advocated. Thus, even as we work with the Trump administration to make sure the CARES Act programs are implemented via policies that are inclusive of and sensitive to the needs of our synagogues, day schools and other entities, we are already in discussions with members of Congress about what more

relief they should legislate as soon as possible. The largest costs for most of America’s charitable organizations are personnel costs. In an environment in which Washington is trying to mitigate unemployment, there must be more support for nonprofits — small and midsized — keeping their staff on board. At the same time, demands for our services are high. Our schools are still teaching our children, albeit remotely. And our social welfare agencies are facing record demands. The CEO of one Jewish community poverty charity told me that it spent $1 million over budget in a single week in March to serve those in need.

The Haggadah speaks of plagues, but it also speaks of miracles — the miracle of Israel’s flight from Egypt; of crossing the Red Sea; of a band of slaves becoming a nation. I don’t expect a miracle to rescue us from the coronavirus. It will have to run its course. But in some ways we have also experienced miracles — the miracle of doctors and nurses risking their lives to treat virus victims; of musicians bringing music to the Internet to ease our pain; of organizations posting podcasts to engage us, of humorists making us laugh with cartoons and anecdotes. People have come together to help one another. That is the miracle of humanity in this plague-ridden time. It is not a small thing. ■

of Senators led by James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.), we propose boosting this incentive to $4,000 per person ($8,000 per married couple). It should also be retroactive to Americans’ 2019 taxes (which needn’t be filed until July) and prospective to at least 2021. This will help generate much needed — and community binding — charitable giving in the midst of the pandemic. Without dramatic and immediate financial and programmatic assistance, America’s charities will not be able to continue to serve as frontline responders to those who have turned to us in the past and to the many who, for the first time, will need our help in 2020. Will our charities be there to help? Our answer now and always must be: “Yes.” But Congress and the president must help us so that we may continue to serve our fellow citizens. ■

‘We Stand With You’ Jews at the University of Maryland taking comfort in school’s response to recent anti-Semitism. Ben Baruch Special to The Jewish Week

niversity of Maryland students are used to getting alerts from campus police. So, when I received an email on a recent Saturday night, I assumed it would be as mundane as every other campus alert that came before it. But when I opened it, I was in shock. It said that on Dec.10, 2019, a University of Maryland student received anti-Semitic text messages on her phone, according to the University of Maryland Police Department. Then, on Feb. 24, Muqarrab Ahmed Abdullah, a 24-year-old UMD student, was charged with three separate hate crimes, including “electronic communication harassment against the victim because of the victim’s religious beliefs.” While this was a frightening notification to get, I took comfort in knowing my campus stood up for Ben Baruch is a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is a 2018 Write On For Israel graduate.

its students, and not only condemned the hateful rhetoric but took action. In the wake of the UMD student being charged, Georgina Dodge, the vice president for diversity and inclusion, and Patricia A. Perillo, the vice president for student affairs, released a statement supporting Jewish students on campus. “To our Jewish friends, co-workers, fellow students, colleagues, and alumni we stand with you,” she said. “We will work closely with Hillel, university chaplains, and student groups to provide space and resources.” Denouncing anti-Semitism may seem like an obvious stance for a higher institution to make, but unfortunately, it is not the case on all college campuses today. Think about what happened at UC Berkeley just last month; a student group put up a display glorifying a terrorist, but the student government refused to condemn it. Other examples are too easy to find: The University of Minnesota hosted the National SJP Conference (Students for Justice in Palestine) last November, anti-Israel students stormed York University in Toronto last year when multiple Israeli soldiers came to speak and Columbia allowed the anti-Semitic prime minis-

ter of Malaysia to speak on campus in September. The school’s president, Lee Bollinger, even wrote a letter to Students Supporting Israel at Columbia, defending his invitation, according a New York Post article. “This is something that is happening on many campuses,” said Scott Sandor, another freshman at Maryland, about anti-Semitism occurring on the UMD campus. “But I’m so grateful that our campus is actually stepping up for what’s right.” This is not the first time UMD responded to antiSemitism. Last year, when the student government proposed a bill that supported BDS (the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel), Jewish students flocked to speak out against it. It was overwhelmingly rejected. The University of Maryland is known for its large Jewish presence. According to Hillel, there are about 6,000 Jewish students on campus (20 percent of the student population). The Orthodox, Conservative and Reform communities each have strong student leadership that works in tandem with Hillel staff to enrich the lives of all Jews on campus. Over

The Power of Pluralism It’s a path forward for college students uncertain about the moral and religious lessons they’ve inherited. Gabriel Klapholz Special to The Jewish Week

or the first time in a long time, I wasn’t sure what to wear to Friday night services this past semester. When I prayed in Orthodox Jewish spaces growing up, I wore a lot of blue and white, argyle sweaters and black Shabbat shoes. At egalitarian services in college, I have shifted to new patterns and colors, horizontal stripes and the occasional yellow. But what was I to wear to a pluralistic Kabbalat Shabbat? How could I dress for three different minyanim at once? I was put at ease when I walked into Friday night services and found the Yale Hillel community in front of me reflecting the diversity I had struggled to capture in my own wardrobe. I sat among my friends — young Jews who shared one thing in common: They cared. Through this communal caring, we were able to remind ourselves why we do what we Gabriel Klapholz is a sophomore at Yale University. He is a 2017 Write On For Israel graduate.

do — why we pray, come to Shabbat dinner and love Judaism in all its holiness, messiness and beauty. Jewish pluralism today possesses an immense power, one that cuts across denominationalism and reveals the incredible force of Jewish identity in its most fundamental form. As young Jews in particular find themselves caught in the religious and political polarization of today’s Jewish community, pluralism provides a path forward — at least it has for me. During the first week of January, I attended the Shalom Hartman Institute’s iEngage Student Seminar. Once a year, the Hartman Institute, in partnership with Hillel, brings Jewish undergraduates from all across North America to Jerusalem to learn about and discuss Jewish peoplehood. The diversity among the Jewish students there was electrifying — no question was off limits, no stone unturned. I could feel the gravity of the project at hand: allowing Jews from all different backgrounds have a voice in our collective story. As an LGBTQ+ Jew, I often receive the question: how do you reconcile your Jewish and LGBTQ+ identities? Being at Hartman and speaking to other LGBTQ+ Jews from across the country helped me challenge the premise of that question.

My voice counted not in spite of but because of who I am, because I had something to share that others may not have thought of or considered.

300 students attend Hillel’s Friday night services every week. Chabad and Meor Maryland are also strong centers of Jewish life on campus. The Jewish organizations at UMD also have strong ties to local law enforcement. Every year on Simchat Torah, University Police escort hundreds of Jewish students through campus as they parade with a Torah scroll. Police are also often found around Hillel, ensuring the safety of all students. “We applaud the rigorous investigation of [the recent] matter by the University of Maryland Police Department, and we thank the University of Maryland for its tireless efforts in creating a diverse and tolerant campus,” Rabbi Ari Israel, the executive director of Maryland Hillel, said in a statement referring to the charge against Abdullah. In my short time here, I have been surprised at

social justice (as opposed to, say, a science-based field) might elicit situations where anti-Semitism would arise. My thinking was based on the fact that antiIsrael groups like SJP tend to hijack social justice groups and compare the plight of the Palestinians to other minorities facing oppression. The media can also rear its ugly anti-Semitic head sometimes — just scroll through Honest Reporting’s Twitter feed to see what I mean. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Multiple peers have gone out of their way to acknowledge my University of Maryland kipa. I’ve had long conversations with other students and professors about my time in Israel, sharing stories and experiences from my gap year and countless visits to the country. Granted, I’ve been here for less than a year. And hearing the news from other universities can be unsettling at times. But the recent actions by UMD made me more comfortable knowing that someone has my back if I ever need it. I call on more campuses to support their Jewish students, and for Jewish students to support themselves. The more Jews that are confident in who they are, and the more universities allow them to express that, the greater the campus environment can be for all students. What happened here last semester is not who we are. This isn’t a common occurrence here. But we’re used to and thankful for the support that the University gives us every day, and we hope to be an example for campuses worldwide. Hopefully, the next UMD alert will be just as mundane as they usually are. ■

Many young North American Jews today — especially in college — don’t know what to believe. Their parents handed down sharp religious divides, a contentious geopolitical conflict in Israel and an array of Jewish institutions and organizations working to make sense of it all. The uncertainty can feel crippling. Pluralism responds to this challenge by demanding that we engage with the deep problems that face the Jewish community today — that we refuse to stop caring. Under the baseline assumption that no one individual, stream of Judaism, or school of thought can provide all the answers, we are forced to develop a shared moral and religious language, to become problem solvers not only within our immediate Jewish radius, but also within the complicated tapestry of the Jewish world at large. What makes Hillel and Hartman such important institutions for me is that they encourage young Jews to embrace the uncertainty, to shed their unwavering confidence that they are doing things the “right” way. In doing so, we are able to gain new perspective and think of truly communal answers to communal problems. I was fortunate to spend a whole year studying at Hartman as part of the Hevruta gap-year program. When I finished the program a year and a half ago, I was ready to get out into the Jewish world and make my voice heard. But then I had to make new friends, write papers and take finals. That is why singing “Yedid Nefesh” and “Lecha Dodi” at pluralistic Kabbalat Shabbat at Hillel this

past semester was so special. My proudly pluralistic Jewish community gave me strength to hold all of the contradictions and questions, the debates and the dialogues, in one shared space. One of the most frustrating parts of college culture is how in vogue it is not to care. It’s socially acceptable to blow off a friend or come late to a meal you had organized a week before or let your suitemates clean up the dorm while you make a phone call. Hillel and Hartman have provided me with spaces that have felt increasingly rare as I have left the comfort of my home and entered the disruptive and exciting college world: places where people care unapologetically. Pluralism calls upon us to continue the labor of caring. Doing so enables us Jews of incredibly varied backgrounds and opinions to operate within shared conversations that challenge us rather than in the echo chambers that polarize us. Only in engaging with each other, questioning each other, and — yes — praying with each other, can we work towards solutions that strengthen Jewish peoplehood instead of further splintering it. ■ The View From Campus is a project of The Jewish Week to provide a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the challenges facing college students by hearing from them directly, in their own words.

he annual seders that commemorate the ancient Israelites’ deliverance from slavery, in which the biblical Ten Plagues play a prominent role, take on special poignancy this year in the shadow of a modern plague, the coronavirus. As families gather (six feet apart) at their Passover tables next week — many in virtual seders through Zoom technology — they will use a combination of old Haggadahs and new ones that reflect contemporary social and political themes. Here are some members of the new crop. The Promise of the Land: A Passover Haggadah. By Rabbi Ellen Bernstein. Artwork by Galia Goodman.

minded, and it is in step with modern feminism, including in its pages Miriam’s Cup and an orange on the seder plate. “For every story about peoplehood, there is a back story about land

and the natural world,” Rabbi Bernstein writes in the introduction. “Our biblical holidays commemorate the harvest and the land, the very soil out of which Judaism grew.” Her Haggadah, “traditional in

some respects, and modern in others,” Rabbi Bernstein writes, offers an abridged version of much of the standard Haggadah text; it omits many words and uses only the opening words of some paragraphs. It also reintroduces two biblical verses in the “wandering Aramean” reading about “a land flowing with milk and honey” and “the first fruits of the soil” that do not appear in many Haggadahs. All the extended commentary and interpretations, the rabbi writes, “restor[e] the environmental significance of Judaism’s central story.” Featuring beautiful full-color nature-oriented illustrations by Galia Goodman, a specialist in ecological Jewish art, offers readings from an ecological perspective, Rabbi Bernstein’s Haggadah offers discussion questions, suggestions for understanding the text and explanations for the uninitiated of some of the readings and rituals.

The Passover Haggadah: An Ancient Story for Modern Times. Brought to You by Tablet Magazine. (Artisan) A project by the folks at Tablet, the online Jewish magazine, this is a Haggadah that manages to be tradition-friendly, innovation-friendly and LGBT-friendly; it gears the familiar Pesach text and accompanying readings and explanations to the needs of a seder participant who is thoroughly familiar with the holiday — or of someone attending his or her first seder. Eminently useful, it stands out from the series of edgy Haggadot that have come out in recent years. It is educational without being patronizing, irreverent without being disrespectful, cute without being trendy. “Passover is transcendent precisely because it manages to be traditional — Jews read the same story that our ancestors have been reading for millennia — and personal, with each of us making the Seder our own by incorporating our own interpretations and interests into the timeless tale of the exodus,” the authors write. Like a growing number of recent

Haggadot, it presents a few lengthy essays, thoughtfully at the end of the book, not interfering with the flow of the night’s standard narrative. Then, there are such features as “How to Host a Seder: Five Commandments for doing it just right,” “10 Deadly Cocktails” to accompany the Ten Plagues, and “Charosets of the World” for the palate bored by the usual wine and apples concoction. The charming illustrations by Israeli artist Shai Azoulay, many of them in shades of brown or sepia, add to the somber notion that the story told in the seder is an important link in Jewish-history. Everything required for a full seder is contained in this Haggadah’s 144 pages, but it is different enough from other Haggadot to make it a worthwhile addition to this or any year’s seder. A soft-cover book, it is aesthetically beautiful, but one need not fear getting stains on it — it is meant for the seder table, not the coffee table. The Passover Haggadah: A Biography (Lives of Great Religious Books series). By Va n e s s a O c h s . (Princeton University Press) This is to be read before the seder. Not an actual Haggadah, it is, as the title indicates, the story and history of the Passover book, the latest in the series of Princeton University Press’ distinguished series of profiles of “Great Religious Books” of various faiths, like the Koran, the New Testament’s Book of Revelations, and “The Tibetan Book of the Dead.” It’s “The life of the Haggadah … how the Haggadah lived in a distinctive way,” as the author writes. This is a small book, (214 pages, including such addenda as index, glossary and additional background notes), academic but accessible, reflecting Ochs’ “personal, partial and eclectic” tastes. Ochs, an ordained rabbi and professor of religious studies at the University of Virginia, provides a wealth of background that the seder leader can use to explain the Pesach night’s various readings and rituals: the develop-

Koren Youth Haggadah. Developed by Dr. Daniel Rose. Illustrations

by Rinat Gilboa. (Koren Publishers) This is for a child from a strong Jewish educational background. It is clearly a pedagogic tool, accompanied by an 83-page parent-educator companion. Both the Haggadah’s language and assumptions about level of Jewish observance suggest a child familiar with the laws and practices of seder night; this is to be expected of Koren, which largely serves an Orthodox readership. With an easy English translation, the book is equally useable for adults who wish to take part in a traditional seder but do not require erudite, verbose explanations of what takes place on seder night. With an egalitarian nod, the Haggadah speaks of four “Children,” not the Four Sons, which have been the norm in Orthodox circles. The latest member of the Koren Haggadah collection, it is hardcover, lavishly illustrated by Israeli artist Rinat Gilboa with full-color drawings that are designed to serve as their own commentary; the book was “developed” by Daniel Rose, a British-born educator who has a background in informal and formal Jewish education and serves as Koren’s director of educational projects. It is the next generation of Haggadot aimed at young readers, building on the earlier works of such publishers as ArtScroll and the CCAR Press. The Haggadah offers the text in Hebrew and English, instructions in “age-appropriate language,” an icon navigation bar, questions on every page, “reflection text,” suggested experiential activities and quotes and stories that explore a particular page’s themes. The fonts and graphics are inviting, and all the readings are short, designed for readers with short attention spans. n steve@jewishweek.org

ment of the seder; its sources in the Torah and Talmud and other rabbinical texts; its textual differences in different societies and parts of the Jewish world; its expansion from a section of traditional prayerbooks to what it is today; its appeal in illuminated versions; its growing popularity as the mostpublished book in the Jewish community; the appearance and cultural significance of Haggadot geared towards particular political or sociological or individual orientations; and a focus on such noted past examples as the Sarajevo Haggadah and the Bird’s Head Haggadah. “Celebrity” Haggadot are also mentioned. She cites abridged versions. Kid-centered versions. And, of course, the ubiquitous Maxwell House Haggadah. A Haggadah is good business, Ochs writes. “Manufacturing a Haggadah could be a savvy investment in time and money for a printing house” because of the near-guarantee that sales will ensue, she writes — witness the large number of secular and academic publishers, like Princeton’s, which have turned out Haggadot in recent decades. The latest count of the number of published Haggadot: “5,000 and counting.” But, the author stresses, the Haggadah’s primary value is as a tool to be used and treasured at one’s seder, not as a text to be studied by scholars. “While an individual Haggadah may be collected and cherished for its historical or artistic merits, it lives as its most authentic self when it is used, especially on a family’s Passover table,” Ochs writes. “A Haggadah comes to life when it leads those who have gathered to use it to ask hard questions about slavery, exile, redemption, and freeing the oppressed.” Ochs’ book is a good guide to asking these questions.

A Gripping History of an Undying Lie ‘Blood Libel’ examines the theology and technology that allowed an anti-Semitic myth to stain Europe. Jerome A. Chanes Special to The Jewish Week

ne would think that by 2020, with all the noise surrounding anti-Semitism and with many books on the blood libel (notably Sara Libby Robinson’s 2011 idiosyncratic “Blood Will Tell”), the topic would have been exhausted. BOOKS Not so, argues Magda Teter, a history professor at Fordham University. She is, to be sure, interested in the centuries of false accusations of ritual murder by the Jews, but her agenda in “Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth” (Harvard University Press) is far broader than the narrative of the libel, compelling though the story may be. “Blood Libel” is a big book, weighing in at 560 pages. And Teter is a master of the telling detail: Every page is full of dates and data, facts and figures. But “Blood Libel,” amazingly for an academic work, reads like a high-end crime novel; it’s a page-turner that the reader will have difficulty putting down. So if the blood-libel story has been told and retold, what does Teeter uncover that’s new? The conceit of the book is that how and why the libelous stories of ritual murder were spread across Europe, using new broadcast Jerome Chanes, a regular contributor, is the author of several books on anti-Semitism and is the editor, most recently, of “The Future of Judaism in America.”

“Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth” by Magda Teter. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2020 (560 pages, $39.95)

technologies, were as significant — perhaps more so — than the blood libel incidents themselves. Teter tells the story cogently and winningly; it moves from the earliest false stories of ritual murder through a series of blood libels in medieval Europe to the Jewish communal responses to the libels; from the dissemination of the libel to the “calculated pragmatism” of the Catholic Church to the waning of accusations. The chapter titled “Who Should One Believe, the Rabbis or the Doctors of the Church?” is unusually engrossing, summing up the dilemma for many in European lands. The core of the first few chapters is the narrative of the murder of Simon of Trent — “Little Simon” — both the event and the aftermath that became what Teter calls “a near permanent fixture of Christian historical accounts.” This ritual-murder libel, concocted after a toddler’s body was found under a Jewish house in 1475, became a model for later events.

Teter’s astoundingly detailed story nevertheless reads like a crime-story yarn. Her astoundingly detailed story — the narrative reads like a crime-story yarn, notwithstanding the abundance of academic detail — weaves grisly details, a cast of Christians and the few Jews of Trent (central casting could not have done better!), and the propaganda machinery that spread the canard to a believing populace across Europe. Teter makes the case that the Si-

mon story might not have had the impact it did without advances in the dissemination of information, especially printing. The invention in the West of moveable-type printing created the mass-produced “chronicle,” which provided comprehensive histories authored by respected individuals (usually clerics). To the medieval reader, a “chronicle” called to mind the biblical “Book

‘A

Moses’ Major Regret

nd [Moses] brought near the second ram, the consecration-inauguration ram, and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the ram. And [Moses] slaughtered it” [Leviticus 8:22-23]. That simple phrase, “and he slaughtered it,” is one of the most poignant and moving phrases of the entire Torah, illuminating the purpose of the Kohen-High Priest (Aaron) in contrast to the prophet (Moses). The secret to understanding Moses’ tragedy and Aaron’s gift lies in the nuances of a rare cantillation “trope.” The trope provides the musical notations to the Torah, telling the Torah reader such things as when to pause (as in a comma), when to stop (at the end of a verse), when to sound decisive, or when to strike a high note. None of the tropes are as distinctive, or as lengthy, as the shalshelet. It appears only four times in the Torah, usually connoting the drama of hesitancy and apprehension. A shalshelet appears above Shabbat the letter “het” in “vayishhat” HaGadol / — “and he (Moses) slaughTzav tered.” When Joseph is alone with Madame Potiphar [Genesis 39:8] and she attempts to seduce him, he refuses (“vayi’ma’en”). He is lonely, a stranger in a strange land, rejected by his family, needy for even a fleeting moment of warmth and physical connection. He is mindful of how his father would view such an act of adultery, and yet aware that refusal could cause this powerful woman to destroy him. The lengthy and meandering shalshelet atop the alef in va’yi’ma’en suggests all of the conflicting complexities within Joseph’s refusal. But what is complex about slaughtering a ram? Why does the evocative and dramatic shalshelet appear in our verse describing the consecration of Aaron and his sons? To understand this, we must remember that the original plan was for Moses to have received the Kehuna (priesthood), the hereditary leadership function in Israel. However, when God first suggests to Moses that he be His emissary to Pharaoh, Moses demurs, again Rabbi Shlomo Riskin is chancellor of Ohr Torah Stone and the chief rabbi of Efrat.

But when of Aaron and his sons, and especially Moses keeps refusing to be the emiswhen he slaughters the consecrationsary, God removes the dynastic priestShlomo Riskin inauguration ram expressing the dyhood from Moses and bestows it upon nastic aspect of the priesthood, Moses Aaron, observes Rashi. ‘Moses cannot help but hesitate, reflecting Perhaps the switch in roles had to do cannot help his feelings of loss, frustration, even with the different functions of priest and a little jealousy, as well as apprehenprophet, and the different personalities but hesitate.’ sion about continuity within his own of Aaron and Moses.

His pre-occupation with God describe himself as “slow of speech”?

More than recipes shared on social media, these tutorials offer comfort, beginning with the homespun and in these days exciting words, Culture View “Welcome to my kitchen.” A version of escapism that takes us from our home jails to kitchens full of flour, packs of yeast and countless metal mixing bowls — these videos are a homey kind of connection.

The site coordinator, long-time travel writer Ruth Ellen Gruber, has been posting a series of links to a myriad of online experiences, from an online Auschwitz tour to an audio tour of the Museum of Jewish History in Girona in Catalonia, Spain. There’s also an aerial tour of the Jewish community in Trebic, Moravia. The Jewish Museum London is hosting talks and games by museum employees on its Facebook page (Facebook.com/JewishMuseumLDN/videos). One could investigate Frankfurt historical sites through a click-and-find map (en.juedisches-frankfurt.de) or glimpse the ornate architecture of the majestic New Synagogue in Szeged, Hungary, on YouTube. There’s also wonderful news for students of history, now cooped up in small apartments. On YouTube, one can go on a virtual journey inside the Jewish Catacombs of Venosa, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. The recreation was made via laser scanner technology, but it feels like the viewer is back in the fifth century when the tunnels were constructed. Alas, the clip cannot make your apartment seem larger. Regardless of the adventures one chooses, there are cultural and sensory experiences to help us feel more connected to the people singing with us onscreen or to those who sang our melodies thousands of years ago. ■
