Clergy See Birth of New Movement for Civil Rights Calls for justice outweigh concerns about anti-Semitic elements among marchers.

Stewart Ain Staff Writer

T GET T Y I MAGES

Protestors marching across the Brooklyn Bridge this week in support of George Floyd. Rabbis say the protests could re-energize black-Jewish relations.

he worldwide reaction to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police two weeks ago is seen by some rabbis as a “turning point” in the quest for racial justice.

Others believe the marches in cities across the country, ones marked by huge, multi-ethnic and multi-racial crowds, could be the catalyst for a new era in black-Jewish relations.

Still other Jewish spiritual leaders, not wanting bias against Jews to

be shunted aside, are voicing concerns about the perceived anti-Semitism of the Black Lives Matter movement itself.

And several rabbis are also complaining about what Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch called the “politically incompetent and morally deficient national leadership” at a time when there is an “assault on the guardrails of democracy.”

In pulpits all over the country, rabbis, the vast majority of whom are voicing support for the protestors, are nonetheless grappling with a tangle of emotions.

A Catskills Summer Is Back on Track

Bungalow colonies expect to return to something like normal.

or a while there, it looked like there’d be no summer — at least a traditional summer in the “mountains” — for many mostly Orthodox Jewish New Yorkers fleeing sweltering city sidewalks.

But armed with bottles of hand sanitizer near mailboxes and instructions for grocery deliveries, operators of bungalow colonies in the Catskill counties of Sullivan, Orange and Ulster are looking at a saved — and perhaps even a smash — season.

It won’t be a typical one, though, in this time of Covid-19.

Coexistence in the Covid Lab

ambridge, Mass. — Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, a silver lining is that researchers from diverse cultural backgrounds are coming together to work on the response — as Jewish-American Jonathan Gootenberg and Palestinian-American Omar Abudayyeh can attest.

Gootenberg and Abudayyeh both work at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They are collaborating with the Broad Institute-based laboratory of MIT neuroscience professor Feng Zhang, which released a protocol of an at-home coronavirus test on May 8.

“I think it speaks to one of the many ways science can transcend cultural boundaries,” Gootenberg said in a Zoom call with members of the Zhang lab and The Times of Israel.

The duo, who both grew up in the United States, have worked together very closely over the last five years. Abudayyeh credited some of their productivity to their diverse backgrounds.

Their achievements include helping develop a viral detection technique called SHERLOCK, or specific high-sensitivity enzymatic reporter unlocking. Using SHERLOCK, they worked with members of the Zhang lab on the test, which they compare to a pregnancy test. It can use either a nasal swab or saliva sample in detecting whether a person has the coronavirus.

“Our main goal is to simplify as much as possible for point-of-care, at-home testing,” Abudayyeh said.

The lab began working on a test as early as De-

cember or January, according to one of its members, Julia Joung. They released a protocol of their first version on Feb. 14. Since then, they have worked on a second version, Joung said.

The Zhang lab test, called STOPCovid, has not been peer reviewed yet and does not have FDA approval. The team’s earlier protocol, which has been licensed by Sherlock Biosciences, recently received emergency-use FDA authorization. The team is actively developing STOPCovid further and validating clinical samples now, according to an MIT spokesperson.

Abudayyeh cited a recommendation of 500,000 to a million tests per day before society and work can reopen. In six to eight weeks, the U.S. has only tested seven million people.

“We have a long way to go to meet the capacity,” he said. “It requires new approaches, new technologies, not relying on central labs.”

Gootenberg said, “All around the world, you have people coming together, science coming together; there’s much more collaboration.”

Dad Jokes Lighten These Dark Times Yair Bernstein has been posting jokes for his Chicago neighbors throughout the pandemic quarantine.

COU RTESY OF B ER N STEI N

ven with his city convulsed by demonstrations against police brutality in the wake of the George Floyd killing, Chicago day school teacher Yair Bernstein saw a role for humor, however dorky. And so he pasted another one of his “dad jokes” in the window of his basement apartment, where he’s been quarantined because of the The 4 Questions coronavirus pandemic.

The 37th in the series (which has attracted attention from his neighbors and the Chicago Tribune): “I would like to be a millionaire just like my dad. He also wanted to be a millionaire.”

JTA caught up last week with the Jerusalem native and father of two young children about his project.

When did you get the idea for your project, and what has the reaction been?

It came from a friend who was doing it in a different neighborhood. She was doing it on her lawn.

I realized I could do it in my window — I don’t have

a lawn, unfortunately. I started posting them one day, and I decided to number them; it became a habit.

I didn’t know that people were reading them. But slowly it was clear that people were enjoying them — they were passing by, stopping, laughing and taking pictures. So I’ve continued doing it.

Jews are famously funny. What’s Jewish about this project for you?

Being an educator in a Jewish community and a Jewish person, I grew up looking to live a more meaningful life and trying to make the world a better place.

The phrase tikkun olam, American Jews really believe in it. I think this fits into that. In the state that I have in my life, I can’t give big [donations], but I can make some people feel better.

This week, laughter feels farther away. How are you thinking about your project now?

Today was the first time I thought I didn’t want to do it. But then I thought to myself this is exactly the reason people want to see it. Things are not so good now, and people are looking for something to make them feel a little better.

What’s been your favorite joke from this project?

I liked the one from today. But also this one: “Unfortunately since the quarantine, I can only tell inside jokes.”

hat’s a Jewish summer camp experience without s’mores and “bug juice”?

Several dozen campers will be able to find out in the next few months — online.

With many Jewish camps shuttered this year because of the coronavirus, a group of young women with camping backgrounds have designed a JewCamp Yalla is an exper- ish camp that will ofiment in virtual campfer Zoom sessions in ing for the 8-12 set.

July and August.

With three classes a week, Camp Yalla (“yalla,” a popular Arabic expression in Israel, means “let’s go”) will try to duplicate the inperson camping experience that will not be possible for many Jewish children, says Miriam Lichtenberg, the camp’s director of Jewish programming. The camp’s two executive directors are Mariel Falk and Avi Goldstein.

Lichtenberg, 23, a native of Teaneck, N.J., and an alum of Camp Ramah and Camp Nesher, graduated last year from Barnard College and is spending this year in Israel as a Jewish Service Corps fellow with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, working with at-risk youth; for Camp Yalla, she has designed a series of educational programs for young Jews ages 8-12.

“I feel passionate about working with kids and young adults,” Lichtenberg tells the Jewish Week in a phone interview from her apartment in Tel Aviv. “I’m a camp person through and through.”

The new camp (campyalla.com) will consist of three consecutive two-week sessions, beginning on July 6, and include hour-long morning bunk activities and afternoon electives each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Campers will sign up in advance for electives in subjects like dance, beat boxing, indoor camping trips, improv comedy, yoga, virtual world travel and aquarium visits. Programming will be geared to East Coast time.

To give prospective campers a taste of what the camp will be like, the leaders will offer a free trial period on three Fridays: June 12, 19 and 26.

While the camp sessions will not take place on Shabbat, an erev Shabbat service will be offered before sundown on Fridays, featuring reading material and a newsletter that Lichtenberg is creating, to be followed by a Saturday night Havdalah service.

Lichtenberg says she will judge the success of the “one-time” camp by the number of participants who register for traditional camps next year.

And the s’mores? Campers can make the marshmallow-and-graham-cracker snacks as a Camp Yalla session during the week.

“We hope to have a cooking class when they can do it together,” Lichtenberg says.

I’m working on a historical novel that takes place in the time of King David and thus, research.

Under any circumstances, I love research, both when it answers the questions I’m asking and when it leads me in unexpected directions.

When I wrote my memoir, “A River Could be a Tree,” I delved into the historically tense and often deadly relationship between my parents’ Catholic and Lutheran ancestors. I spent hours on the phone with my childhood friend Alise, mining her recollections of our cult-like church as well as her awful grandmother.

Alise regaled me with how she had to cut her grandma’s gnarly Angela Himsel, who lives in Manhattan, is the author of the memoir, “A River Could be a Tree” (Fig Tree Books).

After the Philistines captured the Israelites’ holy Ark of the Covenant that contained the Ten Commandments, they were struck down by their own plague — maybe hemorrhoids, maybe erectile dysfunction (I’m not making this up), depending on which biblical scholar you ask. They sent that ark back right quick.

When I sit down to write, I go off in the directions the research has led me. Turns out according to recent DNA testing, David’s enemies, the Philistines, probably hailed from modern-day Greece and its islands. They brought iron weapons to the land. They were not the uncivilized brutes that the term “Philistine” connotes today. This knowledge will color the way I

azel Fleishman has lived through 18 presidential administrations. When she was born in 1914, women didn’t have the vote, but she votes regularly, as she has for more than 80 years, following the news daily in The New York Times. Last week, this American patriot celebrated her 106th birthday.

“I love my life,” she tells me, when we first meet on a Zoom conversation, along with her caregiver Luana Francis and the volunteer who visits her regularly, Julie Friedman. Thanks to this technology, I get to see how Hazel emanates New York a joy that’s contagious.

Soon after her birth in Staten Island, World War I broke out in Europe. She has experienced, stateside, both World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars, as well as the Spanish flu epidemic, the Depression, recessions, the deaths of her parents, husband, sister and her many close friends and now the coronavirus epidemic. But Hazel is an optimist, punctuating her sentences with smiles.

At 106, Still ‘Seeing the Good’

Hazel Fleishman has lived through the Spanish flu, world wars and now Covid. The former city school teacher remains as positive as ever.

When I ask her the secret to staying so positive and youthful at 106, she says she has no secrets, but has been a positive person all of her life. And playing tennis every day for decades kept her young. Never a smoker, she says she eats everything. Francis opens a compartment in a polished wood credenza to reveal their stash of chocolates and red licorice twists.

In the days before the coronavirus pandemic, when she and Francis would go outside every day, whether to a nearby garden or the beauty salon — always wearing three-inch heels, even in the wheelchair she has used for the last few years — Hazel liked asking strangers how old they thought she was. The usual reply was something like “not a day over 88.”

Hazel lives in Yorkville, in the same apartment since the building opened in the early 1970s, a tidy place filled with decades of photos and mementos.

She has 24-hour care, and she praises highly “the three girls who take care of me.” In our conversation, Francis, who has worked with Hazel for 12 years, often holds her hand, with her perfect manicure (done by Francis) visible.

Met Council Unveils New Abuse App Agency responding to a surge in domestic violence during Covid crisis.

Steve Lipman Staff Writer

T

o deal with the growing incidence of domestic violence during the three-month-long Covid-19 pandemic, the Met Council on Jewish Poverty has introduced a new texting service designed to let victims of violence safely report attacks.

Met Council announced on Tuesday that its new Secure Text initiative will allow New York people subject to any form of abuse — sexual, physical, spiritual, financial, verbal or any other form of domestic abuse or sex trafficking — to contact Met Council caseworkers, trained social workers who will answer the calls.

David Greenfield, the agency’s executive director, said Met Council, which in a usual year handles 700 to 800 family violence cases, has dealt with more than 1,000 so far this year.

While the agency assists people from any religious or ethnic background, most of domestic abuses complaints Met Council has received are from the

Jewish community, Greenfield said in an interview with The Jewish Week.

With the new app, a text sent from a cell phone or smartphone will automatically disappear, making it impossible for an abuser to trace it.

The texting number, (917) 5400225, went into operation this week, and will be available 8 a.m.midnight, the same hours as Met Council’s extant domestic violence call-in helpline ([212] 453-9592).

The new platform was developed and tested as a response to an increase in domestic abuse reports that Met Council has received since March, said Greenfield. “It offers safe and reliable access to all our resources.”

The stress caused by people being unemployed and often at home with someone who had already been guilty of abuse “aggravated the situation” and made abuse more likely, Greenfield said.

Previously, calls from abuse victims had been made from work places, during normal working hours; since the start of the pandemic, the victims had to make the calls surreptitiously from home, he said, some-

times “whispering” from a bathroom.

The Secure Text will make it possible for victims to without fear contact Met Council, which Greenfield called the largest provider of family violence services in the country.

“People who were previously afraid to call us will start reaching out to us.”

All calls are confidential, and Met Council does not charge for its services, which include legal, financial and counseling advice.

Met Council’s Family Violence Services program “has recognized that during this pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home orders have made a bad situation worse; leaving survivors with critically fewer routes to safety,” the agency said in a statement. “With the Covid-19 pandemic and high unemployment, more and more clients are at home with their abusive partner for longer periods of time. For these survivors, talking on the phone could potentially put them at increased risk of harm.

“Through the Family Justice Centers run by the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic Violence and GenderBased Violence, Met Council receives

referrals involving clients of all backgrounds, races, genders, and sexual orientations,” Met Council stated.

“However, as the sole Jewish social services organization working at the city’s Family Justice Centers, most clients from the community have expressed deep relief in knowing that there is someone who understands their culture and who can help them obtain safety.”

“We want the community to know that we’re here for them and we have experts who can help them day or night to help secure their safety.” said Nechama Bakst, the senior director of Met Council’s Family Violence Services program.

“We want every person who is experiencing any form of violence to know that you are not alone, you deserve safety and security, and we have the expertise to help you and keep you safe.”

The Secure Text platform is available initially in English, but Met Council plans to add Hebrew and Russian capabilities in the coming months, Greenfield said.

“People should know they are not alone.”

For Millennials, a New Exodus from Manhattan?

What young families learn when they escape to their parents’ homes.

Rabbi Yael Buechler Special to The Jewish Week Editor’s Note: As New York City begins the first phase of reopening this week, The Jewish Week inaugurates a series on what a post-Covid Jewish community might look like.

I

n addition to the modern plague of the pandemic itself, there has been another comeback of biblical proportions — namely that of the “Beit Av,” “house of the father,” or an extended family home. In biblical times, everyone lived in the ancestral home.

When a daughter married, for example, she would move to the Beit Av of her husband’s family.

Next Steps: A Post-Covid Community In “Dangerous Sisters of the Hebrew Bible,” Professor Amy Kalmanofsky explains that the Beit Av “was the essential social unit of ancient Israel.” The second census of Bnai Yisrael, for example, is organized by tribe and subcategories including “l’veit avotam,” “according to their ancestral homes” [Numbers 1:2].

Families living clustered together in the Beit Av was a central part of the tribal system of ancient Israel.

For the members of the millennial generation, like myself, the pandemic forced a sudden move back to the Beit Av — namely the suburban homes of our parents. During these past few months, parents have “bailed-out” many generations, not only millennials. But for millennials, especially those with young children, the resurgence of the Beit Av has been an interesting social experiment.

Millennials have been notoriously hesitant to commit to forms of civic engagement previous generations took for granted, including affiliation with synagogues and other formal Jewish institutions. And in true millennial fashion, Yael Buechler is rabbi of the lower school at the Leffell School in Hartsdale, N.Y., and founder of MidrashManicures.com.

our generation has excelled at delaying a move to the suburbs — that is until now.

For my own young family, the move to the Beit Av was quite sudden. With parks closed, elevators feeling risky and not enough noise machines to silence our children in our small apartment, favorite toys in-hand, we left Manhattan to head to my parents’ house on Long Island.

We were greeted by excited grandparents, eager to help make our short stay comfortable for us and for our children.

These past few months, we have greatly benefited from living in the Beit Av. From home-cooked meals, large laundry machines, endless storage space, the bonus of a backyard and help with childcare, there have been many shortterm rewards of our stay.

There are also the priceless everyday moments — moments that at times feel like they are right out of our childhood sitcom “Full House.” Each morning our children, ages 2 and 4, wake up and eagerly head to Grandma and Saba’s room, where they snuggle in bed and watch “Sesame Street” together. My kids also love davening with my father, who is a rabbi. As he leads a virtual minyan every morning, they try to put on their own tefillin — the straps are longer than they are! They also enjoy doing arts and crafts with my mother, who is an art therapist.

Some mornings I come downstairs to find them fully immersed in a painting activity — all before breakfast.

These interactions have been wonderful for my empty-nester parents as

depict them.

Weaving all of this material into a novel is like herding cats: how to pull together Goliath, David and his many wives and children, King Saul and the other Israelites and make them relevant? Who were they, these people we think we know from the words of the Bible or from archaeology?

Unlike when I was writing my memoir, I can’t text the relevant characters, say Bathsheba, and ask, “Hey, Bath, did you really wanna have sex with David or was it like marching orders?”

I can’t spend a half hour talking to King Saul, asking him why he had such a nasty temper and tried to kill his son, and what about those painful migraines? I can’t elicit from David what went wrong in his marriage to Michal who, by the way, is the only woman in the Bible of whom it says she “loved” a man — David.

What I can do is try to inhabit their lives as fully as possible. Instead of socially distancing myself from them, I attempt to bridge the distance, live with them intimately and let them live within me. Then, the wail of ambulances is finally shushed, and I can hear Michal weeping that she never

had the opportunity to have children.

After spending hours writing dialogue between the characters and setting the scene, the cats become easier to herd. I re-read what I’ve written. Hmmm, how many times should a character greet someone with, “Peace be upon your house?”

Would David have addressed his wife as “Michal” or “My lady?”

Were husbands and wives on a first name basis in biblical times?

It’s 6:30, I’m not sure what day it is, but I need food so I reluctantly leave the safety of Iron Age Israel and re-enter a precarious 21st-century New York City. I put on my facemask to protect others and me from invisible cooties and make a quick dash to the grocery store.

Exiting the store, it’s 7 p.m., and the city has come together to unite in the familiar clapping, pot banging, trumpet — and shofar — blowing to honor the hospital workers who are trying to rein in a plague that, in a manner not unlike that of unherdable cats, has overrun the city. I stop on the sidewalk, put my grocery bag down, and clap. Then I continue home. On the sidewalk in front of me, a woman in scrubs pauses and listens to the clapping. She wipes a tear from her eye. And that’s a story that deserves to be told. ■

continued from previous page well. After officiating at yet another virtual funeral on Zoom for a victim of Covid-19, being asked to join in Peppa Pig’s tea party — complete with tea and crumpets — is certainly a welcome change.

As New York City begins to slowly reopen, I wonder what this quick move to our ancestral home will mean for my family and for others like us. This pandemic likely expedited our permanent exodus from Manhattan. My husband and I jokingly question why we would ever venture out to buy our own home and live in “isolation” when we can have helpful and loving grandparents

— and aunts and uncles and cousins — under one roof.

As I think about the next steps for our family, I wonder what our biblical patriarchs and matriarchs would think of this arrangement. I doubt our ancestors could ever have imagined there could be a household with six working adults who never have to set foot outside to do their jobs — so long as they have sufficient wireless bandwidth!

While it is unclear how much longer this relic of biblical times will shelter the millennial generation, I am grateful to have had this meaningful experience with my family. We left our blissful New York City existence for life in the Beit Av. And who knew that we might actually want to stay. ■

For Orthodox Jews, George Floyd Protests Stir Complex Feelings

Walking a fine line when it comes to supporting, and criticizing, the NYPD.

n the night of May 31, Richard Altabe marched arm in arm with two black politicians at a demonstration in Far Rockaway protesting police brutality.

The next morning, Orthodox Jews in the same New York neighborhood showed up at the local police precinct to drop off pastries for the officers — 101 danishes New York for the 101st Precinct.

The principal of the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach’s lower school, Altabe sees no contradiction between Orthodox Jews participating in a march against police misconduct and their sugary goodwill gesture the next morning.

“We wanted them to know that even though we support the protests, we also supported the police and we’re grateful to the police and the work they do,” Altabe said.

The two gestures — opposing police misconduct while supporting the police more generally — are emblematic of the fine line Orthodox Jews have navigated in responding to sweeping protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of white Minneapolis police officers.

“Many Orthodox Jews have had negative interactions personally with

the police and have seen others who have and certainly understand and are sympathetic to the idea around police accountability and reform,” said David Greenfield, a former city councilman who now leads the Met Council, a Jewish nonprofit serving needy New Yorkers. “At the same time, however, they are generally supportive of the NYPD because they’re generally concerned about public safety and the looting.”

Orthodox Jewish communities are both more politically conservative and more inward-focused than non-Orthodox Jewish communities in America.

That dynamic was on display last week in the flood of statements from Jewish organizations weighing in on the protests and the societal conditions they aim to upset. While some organizations were quick to respond with detailed descriptions of proposed policy changes and pledges to work toward them, Orthodox organizations were slower to weigh in, vaguer in their visions and made a point of condemning the violence that unfolded at some of the protests.

In a statement last Thursday, the National Council of Young Israel, an umbrella group of Orthodox synagogues, said Floyd’s killing showed that “racism is regrettably still alive and well in our country” and that it is critical that “the grave danger posed by systemic racism is duly addressed once and for

Determined that Hazel’s birthday on June 1 not go uncelebrated — even though their initial plans for a “blowout party” in a tulip garden with a band, dancing and lavish food had to be abandoned — Friedman reached out to friends. Promptly, she had offers of 106 homemade mini-cupcakes, a challah in the shape of “106,” several cakes and a large

bouquet of yellow lilies. Her friends have never met Hazel, but stepped up in this time of challenge to create something joyous.

Friedman also reached out to Dr. Giovanna Delucci, principal of P.S. 43 in the Bronx, where Hazel taught kindergarten for more than 50 years. The current kindergarten students and staff made a birthday video. And Hazel sent a video of gratitude back to them.

Sam bought heart-shaped pillows to hold up in lieu of the hugs Hazel likes to share. He played his violin, when he and Friedman surprised her with a visit that day — for the first time in months — in masks and gloves.

them all, with her first sip of Prosecco since 1995.

“Hazel demonstrates to me that life can be good anytime and everywhere, at every age,” Koffler says. “I walk away much better and much happier.”

“Her spunk and charisma are still there,” Friedman adds.

Born in the New Brighton section of Staten Island, Harriet Cohen (always called Hazel) enjoyed the local beaches and especially going to the movie house right across her house, for 10 cents admission.

Always having sat near the piano player, she remembers the shift from silent film to talkies. She graduated from Curtis, Staten Island’s first high school.

Her grandfather, an immigrant from Russia, was a Staten Island merchant with a pushcart, with compartments for pots, brooms and glasses. Her American-born father, Herman Cohen, opened a hardware and furniture shop called “Cohen’s Store of a Million Items.” Her mother also worked in the store, but Hazel and her sister did not. She says that her father treated “the boys” who worked for him like sons.

She also remembers the Depression years, when her father kept his business but lost many houses he owned. It was young Hazel’s job to keep an eye on her father to prevent him from harming himself. But they bounced back. Her mother’s expression from those years, which Hazel likes to repeat, “Love flies out the window when poverty is at the door.”

In later summers, they would go to the Catskills — very much in the style of Mrs. Maisel — although one parent would stay back and watch the store. They would arrive with lots of new outfits but Hazel was more interested in playing tennis.

She loved the comedians, even when she didn’t understand the racy humor.

In 1938, she married Abraham Fleishman. She and Bremmy, as he was called, met as fellow Sunday school teachers at a JCC in Staten Island, when she was 17 and he was 18. Her sister Faye was friendly with his sister Adelaide. Her mother urged, “Find a boy with more money.”

But she “loved him right from the start. He was smart, handsome and I looked up to him.”

After Bremmy’s service as a communications officer on a U.S Naval ship during World War II —

‘You have to look at life as you are given it, and be satisfied with your fate.’

When she could no longer play tennis every day, she took weekly bridge lessons at the Cavendish Bridge Club on the Upper East Side, considered the world’s most illustrious bridge club, founded in 1925. Its closing in 1991 was a front-page story in The New York Times.

These days, she enjoys the music of Dean Martin (“Mambo Italiano” is her favorite). When his daughter Deana, also a performer, heard about the birthday, she dedicated that song to Hazel on her online show last week — and Hazel swayed to the beat as she listened. Hazel also likes online shopping, ever confident in her sense of style. She has taught Francis to play mah jongg, and they recently enjoyed reading the erotic novel “Fifty Shades of Gray” together. A feminist, Hazel likes watching “the smart women” on “The View” and, as “a Democrat through and through,” watches Gov. Cuomo every day at his coronavirus briefings. She misses friends and family visiting, especially Friedman (“I love her with all my heart”).

Her advice to others in this pandemic: “Try to accept things as they are. You have to look at life as you are given it, and be satisfied with your fate. Be honest. See the good.”

“I try to instill that in the girls,” she adds. ■

Three Real-life “Wonder Women” Battling COVID-19 at Sheba Medical Center in Central Israel

(From left ro right) Barkai, Rahav, and Regev-Yochay.

COURTESY SHEBA

By Steve Walz International Spokesman, Sheba Medical Center When the ominous specter of the COVID-19 coronavirus came into view earlier this year, three highly respected doctors at Sheba Medical Center in Israel banded together for the sake of common cause— to treat virus-stricken patients within a unique, ground-breaking environment and to use the hospital’s advanced scientific facilities to discover ways to attack, and hopefully destroy, this global scourge.

Meet Prof. Galia Rahav, Prof. Gili Regev-Yochay and Dr. Galia Barkai.

PROF. GALIA RAHAV, Director of the Infectious Diseases Research Laboratory at Sheba Medical Center Tel Hashomer, is one of Israel’s leading experts in this field. She’d dealt with pandemics in the past, but none that reached such epic proportions in so short a period of time.

“We were introduced to corona on December 31, 2019. Within three weeks, China already had hundreds of patients and several deaths. Two and a half months later, it was clearly an epidemic, with very disturbing images coming out of China and Italy,” she said.

The game-changer (for Israel) came in the form of 15 Israeli passengers on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan. “When we learned that they were about to come home, Prof. Yitshak Kreiss, Director General of Sheba Medical Center, shouldered the overwhelming responsibility of treating the patients, and we sprang into action to prepare an isolation compound for them,” Prof. Rahav recalled.

“We appointed a clinician to treat the patients and to track them. On site, my job was to make clinical decisions—which tests to run, what treatment to administer, and to formulate procedures. I also had to be the psychologist—to talk to people and calm them down. Several weeks later, after everything was running smoothly, I switched jobs and established the frontline Critical Corona Care Unit at Sheba Medical Center, in order to separate the severely ill patients from the others.”

PROF. GILI REGEV-YOCHAY, Director of the Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit at Sheba, predicted the outbreak of the epidemic. “In mid-January there was a workshop in Germany for 30 participants, one of whom was from China,” Prof. Regev-Yochay recalled. “When the Chinese participant

returned home, she didn’t feel well, and it transpired that she had corona. At the end of January, when it was revealed that six German participants had also been infected with corona, I immediately predicted exactly what is now happening. I knew that we were facing an epidemic with which we were not familiar. I told the Ministry of Health that we have to prepare for something entirely different.”

Prof. Regev-Yochay explains, “I understood immediately that if people without symptoms are contagious, it would spread like wildfire. The Germans were wise to immediately test anyone who had come into contact with the Chinese visitor and place them in isolation. The tests were the critical elements in treating the outbreak.”

Prof. Regev-Yochay was instrumental in helping Sheba construct the first Corona Isolation Compound in Israel at an off-campus site, in order to allow the daily work of the regular hospital to continue without fear of spreading the virus.

DR. GALIA BARKAI, Director of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Unit at Sheba Medical Center, was already working on a first-in-the-world telemedicine homecare program for psychiatric patients, as well as other telemedicine applications when COVID-19 presented her with the ultimate challenge—treating corona patients from a distance, without exposing doctors and nurses to the virus. She was the first face seen by the returning travelers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, when they were sent to Sheba’s ground-breaking isolation complex (located off-campus).

“We had to organize the technology to reduce interaction with patients to zero, in order to protect the staff,” she recalled. “I enlisted all the high-tech companies I know and I told them, ‘This is what we need, see what you can do for us.’ All the start-up companies we chose were Israeli. Juniper, which contributed all the equipment, developed technology that connects to a television and turns it into your cell phone, so that you can conduct group calls in the easiest and most accessible way. We did this because we feared that some of the older patients were not sufficiently adept at using more sophisticated methods. We use this platform to talk with them and care for them, and we also added landline and cellular telephones for backup in case they were unable to manage and wanted to talk with us or with family members.”

She added: “In the room of each isolated patient, we also installed a TytoCare tablet that facilitates performing physical examinations at a distance, as well as EarlySense sensors under the mattresses to monitor heartbeat, breaths and movement, with a smart algorithm that can predict a deteriorating condition.

We also have an InTouch robot that can communicate with the medical staff and can enter the patient’s room in an emergency.”

The success of the corona telemedicine program sparked a global impact—hospitals in the U.S. and around the world have inquired about incorporating her telemedicine program into their own systems.

they wrote letters every day and she prayed for his safety — he became a Jewish communal worker, studied at JTS and headed a JCC in the Bronx. Hazel attended Harriette Melissa Mills Training School for Kindergarten and Primary Teachers and completed her degree at NYU before teaching at P.S. 43 in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx.

“I just loved the kids,” she says. “And they loved me.” She understood that many came from troubled homes and she wanted them to feel safe and protected. She taught songs, prepared them to read and tried to model honesty — and did a lot of hugging.

“All the time. We were very affectionate.”

The Fleishmans didn’t have children, which she ways is “the one thing that was missing for both of us.”

They enjoyed dancing, especially the Charleston, and went out dancing at supper clubs and on cruises, “where it’s always New Year’s Eve.” They were married for 65 years, when he passed away in 2003.

“He always made me feel like I was doing the right thing,” she says of her late husband.

New Civil Rights

Colleagues at the Jewish-run Masbia Soup Kitchen Network joined in marches in Brooklyn and Forest Hills, Queens, in protest of the police-custody death of George Floyd. GI F TER P HOTOS/MASB IA VIA FACEBOOK

Several synagogues have reached out to black leaders and clergy to help address racism.

Rabbi Angela Buchdahl of the Reform movement’s Central Synagogue issued a joint statement with clergy from the Islamic Society of Mid Manhattan and Saint Peter’s Church, also in Midtown, in which they condemned the murders of Floyd and “countless” other black people killed by police.

At the Conservative movement’s Sutton Place Synagogue, Rabbi Rachel Ain held a Zoom discussion with a black member of her congregation and two black physicians that focused on racial justice, the Jewish community and the American community at large.

The black-Jewish dialogue put on hold by the coronavirus pandemic is being renewed at Beth El Synagogue Center, a Conservative synagogue in New Rochelle, “to learn how we can support the movement toward systemic change,” according to Rabbi David A. Schuck.

But at the same time, some of the looting that took place in cities around the country struck a nerve for rabbis, as did intersectional efforts to bring Israel into the discussion.

Rabbi Hirsch,of the Reform movement’s Stephen Wise Free Synagogue on the Upper West Side, told congregants that some looters in Los Angeles took time to deface “Jewish institutions and targeted Jewish-owned businesses. And we have heard, in the midst of all this injustice, that some have found ways to blame Israel and the Jews. We are disappointed, but not surprised, and we condemn these contemptible people in the strongest possible way.”

A similar admonition came from Rabbi Hershel Billet of the Young Israel of Woodmere, L.I. He told his congregants in a statement to “be wary and aware because too often anti-Semitism converges within all of these movements, even though it has no rational or historical relationship with this American political and social problem. Although we as Jews must support measures to oppose racism in America, there is unfortunately a complicated history between Black Lives Matter and the Jews.”

Jewish groups objected in 2016 when the platform of the Black Lives Matter coalition described Israel as an “apartheid state” that, it claimed, perpetrates “genocide” against the Palestinian people.

“The murder of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer was a heinous crime. But the movement has also been implicated in anti-Semitism, and this creates a major problem for me,” said Billet.

Like Rabbi Hirsch, Rabbi Billet cited news reports that a number of Los Angeles kosher stores and synagogues were vandalized, looted and defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti.

Rabbi Arthur Schneier of Park East Synagogue, an Orthodox congregation on the Upper East Side, condemned the violence that has accompanied some protests. “Society cannot accept those who rob and loot or direct violence at police,” he said.

“We stand together with those who respect the human dignity of all of God’s children.”

Trump’s photo-op

n his sermon last Shabbat, Elliot Cosgrove, rabbi of the Conservative movement’s Park Avenue Synagogue, criticized President Donald Trump for a lack of leadership during the unrest. He recalled watching Trump on television on Monday, June 1, as he stood in front of a Washington church holding aloft a Bible.

“There is so much that sacred scripture could have taught us on Monday evening — to heal us, to challenge us, to prompt dialogue and action,” said Rabbi Cosgrove. But we know that is not what happened.

On Monday evening, the Bible remained sealed shut.

Our most sacred text — held literally upside down — turned into a cheap prop for political gain.”

He regretted that Trump had wasted an opportunity to “bring healing to our country and our souls in such desperate need of repair.”

Protests erupted and spread to all 50 states and around the world after a video showed a Minneapolis police officer pressing his knee into the back of Floyd’s neck as he lay on the ground for nearly

nine minutes. The officer has been charged with second-degree murder.

While some rabbis and commentators are anxious about the prominence of the Black Lives Matter movement, others suggest that few of those demanding racial justice are aware of the coalition’s views on Israel. When the organizer of a march last week in Port Washington, L.I., was told the leaflets she was distributing listed BLM’s support for the boycott Israel movement, she apologized, took them back and distributed different ones, according to a local resident.

Many clergy say Jews have a responsibility to support the marchers’ justice agenda despite disagreements over Israel.

“We as Jews know what it is like to be ill-treated because of our beliefs, and thus we are commanded to pursue justice for all,” said Andrea Merow, rabbi of the Conservative Beth Sholom Congregation near Philadelphia. “There are no masks or vaccines that can cure the racism that people of color in our beloved county experience. It is up to us, each one of us, to work on curing our hearts and our communities of racism.”

Rabbi Howard Stecker of Temple Israel, a Conservative synagogue in Great Neck, L.I., said “we need courage to admit our own sins of omission and commission when it comes to racism; courage to call out racism whether it comes from our house, the house next door or the White House.”

As Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum of Temple Israel, a Reform congregation in Lawrence, L.I., sees it, these demonstrations mark “the birth of the 21st century civil rights movement.” He called on future generations to “continue the struggle to erase the plague of racism from our land.”

And Rabbi Marc Schneier of The Hampton Synagogue, an Orthodox congregation in Westhampton Beach, L.I., reminded congregants that “no segment of American society provided as much and as consistent support to Dr. [Martin Luther] King and to the civil rights movement as did the Jewish community. In the aftermath of George Floyd’s brutal and senseless killing, the historic black-Jewish alliance has been re-energized.” ■

Catskills Summer continued from page 1

holiday weekend, as it looked like the Covid crisis was easing and parts of New York State were reopening, Rosmarin said he received an unusually high number of calls from New Yorkers asking about the availability of some of the 95 units at Rosmarins Cottages.

And several veteran “bungaleers” (Rosmarin’s term) told him they were having internet access installed in the cottages they plan to occupy this year — the whole summer, not just on weekends. Men and women, it seemed, are finding it just as easy to work at a computer and home-school the kids at a bungalow in the Catskills as in the city. After “People don’t want to go back to the city,” says the owner of Rosmarin’s Cottages in Monroe.

Memorial Day, Rosmarin noticed more cars in the colony’s parking lot than he had seen in past years.

“People don’t want to go back into the city,” he said.

That’s good news for an area that counts on the tens of thousands of seasonal customers for revenue, and for the upstate synagogues that depend on the three-months-a-year daveners to make up their minyans and crowds at other events.

With many Jewish day camps and overnight camps having closed, the need to offer city kids open space has become more pressing.

For parents whose children’s summer camps have closed, “this is the next best thing,” said Shira Dicker, a publicist who writes a blog titled “Bungalow Babe in the Big City.”

Bungalow veteran Jerry Schreck, a former marketing executive from Brooklyn’s charedi Flatbush neighborhood who is familiar with the Modern Orthodox, “black hat” and chasidic colonies, says all of them “are going up this year.”

Malka, a mother of six young children from Flatbush, who asked that her last name not be used, was even more emphatic. “Everyone is going — even people who do not go usually are going this year.”

Yossi Frimmerman, owner of Mountain Crest Bungalows in Woodbourne, which serves the Chabad-Lubavitch chasidic community, said, “The people who have been coming to us for years are anxious to come again. They have been cooped up for two months. The kids have been climbing the walls in their [city] homes. The bungalows give

them a break from the parents, and give the parents a break from the kids.”

To lessen the risk of infection, Frimmerman said he has suggested that bungalow residents have their groceries delivered from nearby stores, or that the husbands do their shopping at home — mostly in Crown Heights — before they drive up for the weekend.

“People are going to take precautions,” said Rabbi Yeruchim Silber, director of New York government relations at Agudath Israel of America and a longtime bungalow resident.

The annual getaway tradition, which attracted diverse groups of Jews in the mid-20th century before becoming a mostly Orthodox ritual, looked uncertain earlier this spring, when several municipalities in the region declined to issue occupancy permits as a public health measure. In March and April, prospective bungalow residents were wary of spending time in venues where social distancing and other safety measures might be difficult to follow.

In March, Steve Vegliante, supervisor of the Town of Fallsburg, suspended certificates of occupancy for camps and bungalow colonies in the town, based on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s ban on gatherings of more than 50 people and recommendation that groups of more than 10 people should also be avoided. That followed a press release by Sullivan County Director of Public Health Nancy McGraw and Sullivan County Manager Josh Potosek urging visitors to the county to stay home.

Similarly, in early April, Ulster County Health Commissioner Dr. Carol Smith issued a memo stat-

ing the county health department would not grant seasonal or annual permits to summer camps, bungalow colonies or campgrounds as a result of the coronavirus spreading rapidly through the area.

Those declarations subsequently lapsed as the grip of the coronavirus eased.

“When the coronavirus started, the board of directors started Zoom meetings to make several determinations for the summer 2020. We did a wait-and-see approach,” said Paul Neiger, vice president of Lansman’s Housing Corporation in Woodbourne, which in 1985 changed its legal status from a standard bungalow colony to a co-op. Neiger said he received an email from the Town of Fallsburg’s attorney on May 9 saying that “we would be able to go forward. We have been in contact with all our shareholders and while some have said no to coming to the bungalow colony, most are ready to spend their summer upstate at Lansmans.”

The mass hesitancy about going to the bungalows never developed, Rosmarin said. “I only had two people who were afraid to come because of the virus. People can’t wait to get here.”

He’s had the cottages thoroughly cleaned to allay residents’ fears, and provided hand sanitizer near the mailboxes, he said, adding that the open spaces of a bungalow colony — and no shared elevators or hallways — make social distancing easier to manage than in the city’s apartment buildings.

“It’s their own little house. They keep it clean.”

Schreck, for one, is looking for a particular metric to mark the health of this bungalow season: how many yeshiva boys of summer take the field. A Sundaymorning Orthodox softball league, with some twodozen teams sponsored by area businesses, has been popular with families, which watched the competition, picnic-style, from the outlying fields, Schreck said.

Schreck, who formerly served as the league’s commissioner, said he’s closely watching how many teams take part this season compared to last.

“I’m very interested in what happens,” he said.

“That would be a barometer of how successful the bungalow season will be.” n steve@jewishweek.org

Standing Up for Israel, and with the Marchers

B

efore Black Lives Matter was the name of an organization, it was a slogan meant to identify a very specific problem: the disproportionate extrajudicial killing of and violence directed at people of color, mostly but not always by law enforcement. The term came to wide public attention in 2013, after the acquittal of vigilante George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin. Like “Never Again” or “MeToo,” “#BlackLivesMatter” is a pithy phrase meant to capture and expose the flagrant disregard of the rights and lives of a particular class of people.

On one level, the phrase addresses the painful statistic that black people are twice as likely to be killed by a police officer while unarmed, compared to a white individual.

On another, it is about ending the radical disparities of health and wealth that lead to what Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, the founder and executive director of the African American Policy Forum, calls the “stealth victimization” of black bodies.

The protests happening around the country and the world in response to the killing of George Floyd by a police officer who knelt on his neck for over eight minutes are a broad, multiracial, multiagenda declaration that black lives do matter.

But because Black Lives Matter is also the name of an organization — one that has taken some distressing stands against Israel — some have tried to discredit the protests as another manifestation of antiIsrael and anti-Semitic radicalism.

The leader of one vocal pro-Israel

group has made this a mission. Not satisfied with recalling the official BLM platform that slandered Israel by saying it perpetrated “genocide” against Palestinians, the same leader has sought to deny the kinds of systemic discrimination faced by blacks in nearly all walks of life.

Others have written letters to the editor or tweets suggesting that if African Americans are to receive Jewish support in their calls to justice, they must first repudiate the BLM platform.

T h e e n e rg y o f t h e c u r r e n t marches is drawn from the left, which has seen within its own ranks a troubling, faddish rise of antiIsrael sentiment.

In progressive circles, there have been ugly and off-base comparisons between the plight of Palestinians and the struggles of black Americans. Unfounded charges of complicity have been leveled against Israel because of exchange programs in which police here learn counterterrorism techniques from their Israeli counterparts.

The Jewish community needs to stand up to the people who spread these kinds of slanders, but also stand with the people who are demanding safety, dignity and equality for people of color. Their demands are a call for justice, one that is familiar to Jews who just a few months earlier took to the streets demanding awareness of and protection for people and institutions singled out, attacked and in some cases killed for no reason other than the fact of their Jewishness.

The biblical precept “Justice, justice, thou shalt pursue” is not conditional.

‘Justice, justice

thou shalt pursue’ — full stop.

Black Lives Matter and the Floyd Protests

Like Rabbi Avi Olitzky, I and most other people were shocked and appalled by the killing of George Floyd by police (“Our Holy Obligation to Make Black Lives Matter,” June 5).

This, however, does not justify our adoption of the slogan of Black Lives Matter, an organization, which by calling Israel a genocidal state, is approving its destruction.

The Torah tells us to pursue justice as we should, but that does not mean that we ignore the ever-rising antiSemitism, which has resulted in the recent murder of Jews in California, New Jersey and New York.

In addition, when Dr. King and Rabbi Heschel marched together, they weren’t trying to “repair” the blackJewish rift. This only came about, as Benjamin Ginsberg of Johns Hopkins has pointed out, when younger blacks such as Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown wanted to wrest control of the civil rights movement from older blacks and accused them of being run

by Jews.

Jew Hatred as Virus, From Zola to Today

In the May 22 story, “Another Virus Rampages Across the Globe,” Stuart Ain writes that a new PBS documentary explores the way antiSemitism is like a virus that “mutates and evolves across cultures, borders and ideologies.” A good simile indeed, but not a new one at all.

Emile Zola, in 1897, wrote a series of newspaper articles and pamphlets condemning the rabid anti-Semitism behind the false conviction of Capt.

Alfred Dreyfus three years before.

In one article, “Letter to France,” he compared anti-Semitism to smallpox, a killer viral disease that was rampant in France of the 1890s: “The political and social poisoning,” he wrote of the Dreyfus Affair, “is seen on your face.”

This passage (and others) express very well Zola’s use of the virus simile to express his heartfelt contempt for anti-Semitism, an illness he said was poisoning France to its core. The PBS documentary indicates that it still is.

Jewish Sovereignty vs. Annexation

No matter how often editorial writers or anyone else mentions annexa-

tion, the oft-delayed recognition of Jewish sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is not annexation (“The High Price of Annexation,” May 15).

The Jewish people were given sovereignty over Judea and Samaria at the 1920 San Remo Conference, which incorporated the Balfour Declaration. The League of Nations ratified this status in Article 22. The United Nations Charter in Article 80 requires its member States, which includes every member of the EU and the United States, to honor these past agreements which declare the Jewish people’s sovereign right to Judea and Samaria. The Israeli government will simply be restoring the Jewish people’s acknowledged sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. Neither Jordan, the Palestinian Authority nor any other Arab entity has such a legitimate claim to sovereignty over this land.

Trump Indeed a Friend to Israel

Welcome to the world of realpolitik to all those who, like Stephen Appell (“Trump No Friend to Jews, Israel,” Letters, May 29), are naively surprised that Trump’s “friendships” are based on self-interest. Friendship is not an absolute term, particularly among nations where its definition depends almost entirely on actual or anticipated advantage. Point of fact: During World War II, Joseph Stalin was a “friend” to the U.S. and the UK. Indeed, that Trump’s actions have been “the most pro-Israel” of all U.S. presidents is entirely accurate: This relative evaluation is a sad assessment of the behavior of the presidents who preceded him. It is not a commentary on Trump’s motives.

Trump’s actions have strengthened Israel’s position with the Gulf states, Africa and Latin America. And his plan presents the Palestinians with an ultimatum to come to a final negotiated agreement on the West Bank or lose having an independent state.

This is their last best chance. Unlike Western bleeding hearts, the rest of us, particularly many Arab nations, are royally sick of 72 years of Palestinian waffling, corruption, selfdelusion, violence and dependence on welfare. Enough is enough.

EDITOR’S COLUMN

The New York Times loses an internal fight over diversity.

T

he New York Times, it’s fair to say, is an obsession for Jewish readers.

The Jewish community includes the Gray Lady’s most loyal readers — and arguably its biggest critics. For the second group, this was a week for schadenfreude, when a staff rebellion over an op-ed forced the departure of James Bennet, the opinion editor, after a vit-

Andrew Silow-Carroll

riolic Twitter debate over free speech, journalistic ethics and the boundaries of opinion.

At issue was the op-ed page’s decision to publish online an essay by Sen. Tom Cotton, the Arkansas Republican, calling for federal troops to meet the George Floyd protests with an “overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers.” The piece was posted on Wednesday, June 3.

Times staffers complained that the piece advocated violence against peaceful demonstrators, endangered people of color and gave a platform and legitimacy to an odious attack on free speech and peaceful assembly. A letter signed by over 1,000 Times staff members said Cotton’s essay was also full of inaccuracies, and that while the paper should publish a diversity of views, no writer is entitled to a platform to air “shaky facts and gross assumptions.”

Nikole Hannah-Jones of The Times Magazine, a Pulitzer Prize winner for her coverage of race, tweeted, “As a black woman, as a journalist, as an American, I am deeply ashamed that we ran this.”

The Times, in a statement saying it regretted publishing the Cotton piece, explained that “a rushed editorial process led to the publication of an Op-Ed that did not meet our standards.” Bennet was out by Sunday.

There are a few aspects of this debate that need to be teased out.

The first is whether there are some ideas that are so odious that they don’t deserve airing in the pages or on the website of a responsible newspaper. There certainly are: No one needs to hear the “other side” represented by avowed racists, neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, climate “skeptics,” anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, quack scientists or the mentally unstable.

But even if Cotton fits one or more of these categories, he is still a member of the U.S. Senate, and one who has the ear of the president. I think there is value in airing the unvarnished, unmediated views of an influential political figure so that readers can read and evaluate the actual, however ugly, thoughts and intentions of people who shape policy.

If, say, a prominent Israeli politician submitted an op-ed that revealed something disturbing and extreme about her and her followers, I would be inclined to publish it as a service to readers.

And I would do so in the context in which The Times printed Cotton’s op-ed: in a news ecosphere that includes reporters and opinion writers feeding a full understanding of the issue, op-eds presenting contrary views and links to news articles contextualizing the writer’s proposals and explaining where they fit within the current political debate.

The second issue, and the one that I think disqualified Cotton’s op-ed, is quality. As the old saw goes, writers are entitled to their opinions, not their facts. If Cotton’s were the only piece you read about

Troops on their way to the George Floyd protests in Washington, D.C. In a Times op-ed, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton called for federal troops to meet the protestors with “an overwhelming show of force.” GET T Y I MAGES this month’s events, you would have thought that small gatherings of what he calls “peaceful, law-abiding protesters” were vastly outnumbered by masses of “nihilist criminals” — when exactly the opposite is true.

Cotton’s piece also didn’t even try to explain why federal troops could do a better job containing violence than local police or the National Guard.

He didn’t talk about training, leadership, equipment, authority or any of the other qualities that might justify a federal response over local efforts. “An overwhelming show of force,” a phrase usually associated with military action abroad, was the extent of his argument.

The third issue is a generational one: The pushback at The Times appears to have been led by younger staffers. I spoke to graying colleagues in the media who, like me, mostly defended The Times’ decision to publish Cotton’s incendiary piece (and who, like me, don’t remember a similar hullaballoo about Times’ op-eds attacking, often misleadingly, Israel and its supporters). For the old guard, presenting diverse voices, even repellant ones, fulfills a newspaper’s mission of shining sunlight in dark places. As media critic Jack Shafer (born 1957) put it on Politico, “[I]nstead of being

outraged by the Times publication of the Cotton op-ed, I’m grateful, because it damningly revealed in his own words his dangerous intentions better than any mere news story or interview could have.”

A younger guard, mean-

while, believes reflexive objectivity allows people with discredited and dangerous ideas to air them in the name of “fairness.” “American viewfrom-nowhere, ‘objectivity’obsessed, both-sides journalism is a failed experiment,” tweeted Wesley Lowery (born 1990), formerly of the Washington Post, in response to the Cotton essay. “We need to rebuild our industry as one that operates from a place of moral clarity.”

One person’s “moral clarity,” however, is another person’s censorship. I still insist that the public is served by the publication of bad ideas by public figures who have the power or connections to implement them. Far more dangerous than Cotton’s highly public yawp are the lawmakers who tacitly approve of and facilitate awful policy without taking responsibility for their ideas or actions. Forewarned is forearmed. n

Our Leaders Should Sound a Note of Hope David Wolpe

‘T

o gather the congregation you shall blow tekiah [summons] and not truah [alarm]” [Numbers 10:7].

There are many ways to unite people. One is to frighten them. When pointed at a common enemy, people tend to gather in frightened solidarity. The Torah teaches in this week’s reading that the proper way Musings is through summoning people to what is good and right rather than scaring them about what is wrong and bad.

Gatherings of hope are better than gatherings of fear.

Unity from love is greater than unity from hate. Bringing people with the sound of tekiah is the way to create a society that will enable us to heal.

Lincoln called on the United States to be moved, not by animosity, but by the “better angels of our nature.” At the worst time on our history, he chose a tekiah. Ours is a difficult and divided age. We have learned, at our cost, how calls to fear the other are ineffective to bring a society together. It is time to ask ourselves and our leaders to sound a tekiah, a note of hope, a summons to common goals and the common good.

A Zoom Bar Mitzvah with Echoes of the Past

I

n a scruffy loose-leaf folder, its pages yellow with age, my father left a memoir of his years growing up in Russia before coming to America in the early 1900s. He, his parents and four younger brothers lived in a tiny village in Bellarussia (today Belarus). A scholarly child, he studied at a yeshiva in a larger town, coming home only on weekends. As his 13th birthday neared, his

on the day he became a bar mitzvah. “It was a Thursday morning,” he wrote. “I was called up to the Torah.

A teacher said a few words about obeying the laws. I gave the sexton a quarter as a gift, and it was over.” Nobody in his family attended; they lived too far away. It seems so sad. Still, he wrote, “I was so proud now to be counted in a minyan with the grownups.”

I’ve been thinking about my father ’s bar mitzvah ceremony lately as my youngest grandchild, Ari, approaches that landmark.

His older brother and sister each had beautiful celebrations for their special days.

Along with their Haftarah readings, each chanted the entire Torah portion and led Shabbat services (please forgive the Granny bragging). Afterwards family and friends gathered at lunches to honor the young

He has devoted much of this past year to learning the Torah and Haftarah readings, preparing his bar mitzvah talk and meeting with the rabbi to discuss it

all. His parents had chosen a place for lunch, engaged a caterer and worked out the day’s logistics.

Then the coronavirus hit.

All the carefully laid plans have been scrapped. The synagogue is closed. Luncheon venues are shut tight. People are not gathering for large events. And everyone is, or should be, wearing masks, not eating together.

So here’s an irony: Because of the coronavirus, it appears that Ari’s bar mitzvah ceremony coming soon will not vary greatly from the abridged one my father had all those years ago. It, too, will be on a Thursday morning, when the service is short, there is no Haftarah chanted and just a small portion of the Torah is read (so much for bragging rights this time).

Ah, but there is one enormous difference between a celebration in the early 20th

century and now, in the 21st — Zoom. Although Ari’s event will be held at home with just the immediate family, the Zoom platform will allow friends and relatives from all over to join in.

Zoom has seemed a miracle during these difficult months of social distancing. Suddenly we’ve been able to attend meetings we cannot be at physically and hold face-to-face phone conversations. In the Jewish world Zoom has made it possible, among other things, to participate in weekday religious services and join synagogue events.

It has been a godsend of technology. And like all new technology, it has raised a fundamental question: How far should we take it?

The Conservative movement in particular has been grappling with this question. A recent Conservative ruling would allow syna-

We must look into our private and collective mirrors and confront what we have done. We have built our success at the expense of other human beings. We have allowed black children to drink contaminated water so our corporations could save money for their shareholders. We have filled our shelves with food beyond our needs while those same children go to bed hungry each night in city after city.

We have instructed our police to stop and frisk our African-American fellow citizens just because their skin is dark. We have forced a generation of “successful” people of color to instruct

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was once asked about endangering the lives of “innocent bystanders” when he led a march that he knew would encounter violence, as in Selma. His answer was quite simple and direct: “the term is an oxymoron, for if you are a bystander, you cannot be innocent.”

Rabbi Heschel, King’s friend and ally, understood the insidious nature of evil.

“Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself; it is more universal, more contagious, more dangerous,” he wrote. “A silent justification, it makes possible an evil erupting as an exception becoming the rule and being in turn accepted.”

We have done exactly what Heschel predicted.

Our silence, our not-so-

well-meaning looking aside, has now allowed a pervasive evil to erupt around us and begin to consume us in its fire, both literally and figuratively.

The irony of the timing of this moment cannot be more poignant. Facing a virus engulfing the entire world, we are now confronting a disease far more contagious and deadly: racism. And once again we are unprepared. The masks we have been wearing for many years do not protect us from the truth.

must teach the children, you must teach them a Judaism that can remake the world.”

Five years earlier, on June 16, 1963, Rabbi Heschel had sent a telegram to President John F. Kennedy in response to an invitation from JFK to attend a meeting of religious leaders at the White House to discuss the then-growing racial tensions in the country. He warned that the “Negro problem will be like the weather. Everybody talks about it but nobody does anything about it.” Saying churches and synagogues has failed, he called on the president to demand “national repentance and personal sacrifice” of clergy, including donating one month’s salary toward African-Americans’ housing and education. “I propose that you Mr. President declare [a] state of moral emergency,” wrote Heschel. “A Marshall Plan for aid to Negroes is becoming a necessity.”

Our job now, all of us of all religions and belief systems, is to remake the world into a better reality, providing for, caring for and sharing more equitably with all. The era of appalling silence must finally come to an end. We must allow a spirit of compassion and empathy to enter our hearts and fill our homes, our streets, our schools, our workplaces, our houses of worship and our politics.

As Rabbi Heschel told President Kennedy, “The hour calls for moral grandeur and spiritual audacity.” ■

THE ARTS A Bridge Linking Iran and America

Esther Amini’s memoir chronicles her Mashhadi-Jewish family’s fraught transition to Forest Hills, and her own cultural clash.

Sandee Brawarsky Culture Editor

E

sther Amini is the first woman on both sides of her family to read and write. None of her foremothers, born in Mashhad, Iran, attended school at all.

Born in Forest Hills, Queens, after her parents and two older brothers immigrated in 1947 by way of India, Amini went on to college, BOOKMARKS graduate school and post-graduate training, and has written a captivating memoir, detailing her parents’ experience and her own life, “Concealed: Memoir of a Jewish-Iranian Daughter Caught between the Chador and America” (Greenpoint Press).

The multi-layered title refers to the concealment of the Jewish community for generations in Mashhad, Iran’s holiest Muslim city, a Shi’ite stronghold and pilgrimage site. Amini’s father would pray holding a Koran in public squares while inwardly addressing his God; her mother walked in the streets with a loose, dark sheath that fully covered her body, except for narrow slits for her eyes. Persecuted and fearful of being outed, they lived in the Jewish ghetto — they had Muslim and Hebrew names — and her father bribed the local imam. Their voices were muted.

Growing up in Queens, the author too was muted. She had to hide her own aspirations and dreams of a life beyond their American Mashhadi community — her father forbid her from reading, so that she would become a young and loyal wife. Then, years after a failed marriage and then a happy one, after having a successful career and children, Amini takes the tack that is opposite to concealment — revelation — and writes a book of

candor, cultural clash, insight, humor and still love.

Her book is in the tradition of Lucette Lagnado’s memoirs about her parents who emigrated from Egypt when the Jews were expelled in the early 1960s, leaving behind a cosmopolitan lifestyle and them struggling to reinvent themselves in America. But Amini is hardly elegiac about the lives of her parents in the old country.

“The story of the Mashhadi Jews, who lived like Marranos or cryptoJews, has never been told before in a first-hand or secondhand account,” Amini tells The Jewish Week. The women, who were not educated, were not writing diaries. The men weren’t putting their feelings into journals. There are written histories, but no memoirs or autobiographies or private accounts of what life felt like.”

Amini was able to learn of her family’s past from her late mother, who “was a big talker and would tell stories again and again.” Her father, in contrast, was withdrawn and did not speak about his past or about most things. She felt like she was the bridge between their history and the present, and felt a sense of responsibility to tell their stories.

Her father, Fatulla Aminoff, who

“The story of the Mashhadi Jews, who lived like Marranos or crypto-Jews, has never been told before in a first-hand or second-hand account,” Amini says. Below, her mother behind a chador. P H OTO S CO U RT E SY O F E ST H E R A M I N I came from long line of landowners, merchants and traders, grew up in a home where speech was prohibited. His father disowned him when, as a young man, he came back from a boarding school for wealthy Jewish boys in England and then broke all ties when F a t u l l a m a rried Amini’s mother, Hana Levi — she was 14 and he was 34 — when he was supposed to marry his first cousin, as was tradition. The age differences of Amini’s parents was customary; her grandmother married at 9.

Her mother’s mother, named Esther, died in childbirth, and her father died when she was 2. Hana was raised by a kind stepmother, but felt betrayed when she learned from someone in the community that she wasn’t her birth mother. Amini says that for her mother, “time froze then, she couldn’t get beyond that.” She lived in mourning for her mother.

Always resourceful and a force of nature, Hana pushed the family to leave Iran, and they escaped with “Persian rugs, stuffed satchels and 27 centuries of persecution,” as Amini writes. When Hana first saw

New York City, she said, “The future spreads open before me and I’m stepping right in.” Amini’s father instead saw a city of smoke and mirrors, with no soil visible, “a place that wants to entice you so it can deceive you.” He had a hard time regaining his standing.

In their home in Forest Hills, Fatulla favored silence. If a friend called for Esther, he would hang up abruptly, and if someone would visit, he would say, even as his daughter stood beside him, that she was not at home. He was afraid that she’d become Americanized. While Amini recalls other fathers in their Mashhadi community as feeling grateful while adapting to New York, her father was filled with terror.

Repeatedly, he would tell her, “Books are evil, they poison girls’ minds,” as he believed that each year of schooling made her harder to marry off. But she hid her books, buried herself in schoolwork and excelled. She kept a diary so that she could hear her voice even if her parents could not.

Her mother was flamboyant, outspoken, rebellious, “dangerously impulsive”; she would pack a suitcase and run away from their home for a few days. She’d admit that her husband was a mismatch for her. She pickled vegetables, tended a garden with Persian cucumbers and mint, scrubbed the floors, polished the walls, ironed the bedsheets and underwear, sewed and embroidered. Her home was always fragrant with a Persian stew bubbling on her stove and sweet pastries

A Seven-Branched Light Unto the Nations “The Lord said to Moses, ‘Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, see that all seven light up the area in front of the lampstand.’”

[Numbers 8:1-2]

T

his week’s biblical portion contains an important insight into the necessary qualities and major functions of our rabbis. Our Torah reading of last week, Naso, concluded with the various offerings of the princes of the tribes at the dedication of the desert Beha’alotcha Sanctuary, forerunner of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Beha’alotcha begins with the kindling of the menorah, the seven candlestick branches made of pure gold, each culminating in a golden flower with three branches emanating from either side of the central treelike branch, and seven flames spreading warmth and enlightenment within the most sacred area and beyond.

The operative verse that describes this magnificent accoutrement is “the candle is commandment, and Torah is light” [Proverbs 6:23].

Rashi, the classical biblical commentator, is apparently disturbed by the placement of the menorah in our portion: It seems to have belonged in the Book of Exodus, which describes the inner furnishings of the Sanctuary, including the menorah [Exodus 25:31-40].

Rashi therefore opens his interpretation of our portion with the words of the Midrash [Tanhuma 5]: “Why this juxtaposition of the description of the lighting of the Menorah with the offerings of the Princes of the tribes? It is because when Aaron saw the dedication of the Sanctuary, he became upset that he had not been included in the dedication offerings and ceremonies; neither he nor his tribe of Kohanim.

Rabbi Shlomo Riskin is the chief rabbi of Efrat, Israel, and chancellor emeritus of the Ohr Torah Stone network of schools.

continued from page 20 in the oven. She was admired by the other Mashhadi wives for her skills.

Hana loved wearing bright colors and plunging necklines and had a natural proclivity for twisting the truth, which was how the family survived in Islamic Mashhad. Once, after paging through a fashion magazine and admiring the gowns of Oscar de la Renta, she had her daughter look up the address of his showroom, grabbed her alligator handbag, and they took off on the subway for the Garment District. With her natural charisma, Persian chutzpah and accented English, she convinced the showroom’s managers that she had an exclusive boutique in Tehran, and left with a handful of gowns bought wholesale, in cash. She’d return there for every celebratory event.

Amini’s mother wanted her daughter to become American, or her version of an American. Each year they would smuggle kosher food into the Radio City Christmas Spectacular show with the Rockettes, and

Amini’s parents in Mashhad, Iran. When they married, her mother was 14, her father, 34. her mother would tell her to close her eyes when the figure of Jesus was on stage.

Secretly, Amini applied to college and had to stage an escape with an older brother in order to travel to interviews. She eventually convinced her parents that she could live at home and attend Barnard and still be part of their world. Later, she moved

onto campus, in spite of her father’s hunger strike, and one of the book’s funniest scenes follows. At Barnard, she studied art history but later, as she secretly saw a therapist, she grew interested in studying to become a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, helping others find their voice.

She says that she could not have published this book when her parents were alive, as she would not have wanted to hurt them and they would not have understood her need to tell their story. “My intention was not to trash them, but to understand them, and I hope that readers will see the affection I have for each of them.”

Most of the American Mashhadis now live in Great Neck, and Amini remains connected to her relatives, although she chose a different lifestyle. She and her Ashkenazi husband raised their family on the Upper East Side; they belong to Kehilath Jeshurun, as do her grown children and their families. She places an emphasis on the centrality of family, so intense in Mashhadi culture, and is mindful of how her parents held on tightly to their Judaism through hard times.

“I don’t want to be the broken link,” she says. ■

The Academy for Jewish Religion was founded in 1956 with a pluralistic vision. We offer programs leading to rabbinical ordination, cantorial ordination, an MA in Jewish Studies, a streamlined program offering rabbinic ordination to ordained cantors and a Kol Bo program allowing students to attain both rabbinic and cantorial ordinations simultaneously.

AJR offers distance learning opportunities, with hybrid classrooms, allowing offsite students from the entire country and abroad to study in real time with students present in our classrooms. As a leader in online education, and using the Zoom platform, AJR seamlessly transitioned to online learning for every student during this uncertain pandemic time.

Our rabbinic curriculum emphasizes rigorous text study, spiritual growth, and professional skills, with additional focus on entrepreneurial and leadership, enabling students to truly lead in the everchanging Jewish landscape.

AJR’s new cantorial curriculum reflects its vision of pluralistic Judaism. Along with a strong curriculum in the classical cantorial arts and traditional nusah Ashkenaz, it envisions the cantor as a shaliah shalom, a messenger of peace, introducing courses taught from the perspective of Peace Studies – in a Jewish context.

Our trimester system allows for a full-time, three year intensive study program for ordination, where students attain the same level of education as our standard program, in fewer years.

Our rabbinical and cantorial students study as equal partners. Each student at AJR receives a pluralistic education, and finds a spiritual home within a community of learners.

First- and second-career students, as well as full- and part-time students, are valued for their passion, commitment, and personal gifts.

DRISHA Since 1979, Drisha has been raising the bar in Jewish education. We advance a model of engaged, committed, and open Judaism through the study of classical Jewish texts.

Today we offer full-time and parttime learning programs in both New York and Israel, including Yeshivat Drisha, our advanced yeshiva for women in Israel. In addition, Drisha offers special programs for the broader community that bridge Jewish learning and critical social and religious issues.

Drisha’s Summer Kollel brings together students from across the Jewish spectrum to build a community around rigorous Torah study, prayer, and communal service. Now in its 11th year, this year’s Kollel will constitute a four-weekTalmud Intensive. In the context of our regular schedule, we will dedicate our learning to diverse perspectives on Talmud study. For students with more limited experience, this is a chance to build independence in Talmud study. More advanced students will focus on different darkhei ha-limmud and learn methods for developing sugyot to teach. Throughout the program, teachers and guest lecturers will explore a wide range of topics related to Talmud, including rabbinic narratives, midrash halakhah, and modern legal theory.

Due to social distancing restrictions, this summer’s Kollel will take place entirely on our online platform. Despite the limitations of this format, we are excited to have a chance to develop a virtual beit midrash, enabling students from far and wide to share in Drisha’s distinctive approach to learning.

enriched by general culture and how their general studies can be inspired and informed by Torah values.

THE IDEA SCHOOL

120 West Century Road Paramus, NJ 07652 Tel: 201-267-9100 information@frisch.org Yeshivat Frisch is a vibrant, c o - e d , M o d e r n O rt h o d ox y e shiva high school that strives to imbue our students with four core values: intellectual curiosity, religious growth, kindness and passion. Frisch utilizes both traditional and progressive approaches to education, aiming to spark the intellectual interests of our students, motivate their continued academic pur suits, encourage them to explore and cultivate their unique talents, and help them develop into thoughtfully empathetic members of Klal Yisrael.

In conjunction with our core curriculum, all incoming students choose among the following specialized educational tracks: Beit Midrash, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, World Languages, Music and Visual Arts. Our twelfth grade curriculum allows students the flexibility to choose among numerous electives in core general and Jewish studies subjects.

Frisch’s 14-acre campus boasts a 20 thousand square foot gym, softball field, basketball court, running track, two tennis courts, two “fab lab” makerspaces, spacious art and music rooms, several Batei Midrash, and a fully equipped Learning Center for general and Judaic studies. Multiple learning tracks, from high honors to conceptual, are designed to support student learning at every level.

With over 50 clubs and over 30 sports teams, students may take part in a plethora of activities and chessed opportunities outside the classroom. Additionally, each Thursday, over 650 students choose to stay after school for Mishmar.

At Frisch, we encourage our students to find religious meaning and spirituality and to translate that into a deep commitment to Judaism and Medinat Yisrael. The integration of Torah and General Studies allows students to see how their Torah studies can be

The Idea School is a co-ed, modern-orthodox Jewish high school located at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades in Tenafly, NJ. Opening our doors in the fall of 2018, The Idea School was created because we recognize that it’s time for a paradigm change in Jewish education, so our children experience Jewish learning in deeply personal, meaningful, and resonant ways.

Project-based learning (PBL) is the educational model of The Idea School that focuses primarily on creative hands-on learning methods as opposed to traditional testing and exams. Traditional subjects and disciplines are taught by organizing information around questions students find interesting and problems they have to solve. PBL is focused on developing skills students need to succeed in the world today such as collaboration, giving and receiving feedback, revision and public presentation. Perhaps most importantly, learning through PBL enables a student’s learning to make an emotional and a spiritual impact on the student. Ultimately, our method aims to help students chart their individual paths to adulthood and give them the tools to be their best selves.

At The Idea School, learning stems from students’ passions, interests, and questions. Students don’t just memorize information, but take their knowledge and skills and use them to create a product or event, or solve a problem in the world. In our educational model, students construct meaning out of their studies, get to know their talents and strengths, and understand how they might live a fulfilling Torah life while bettering the world.

Now going into our third year, we continue to be inspired by the growth of our school but more so, the spiritual and emotional development of our students.

We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming our 9th, 10th, and 11th grade classes this fall.

MSIH STUDENTS FIGHTING THE PANDEMIC

By Michael Diamond In March 2020, Daniel Levi was a final year medical student at the Medical School for International Health (MSIH) at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Like the rest of the class of 2020 he expected to receive his MD Diploma at this year’s graduation ceremony that was scheduled for the end of May.

RABBI ARTHUR SCHNEIER PARK EAST DAY SCHOOL Rabbi Arthur Schneier Park East Day School “zoomed” into learning immediately after our facility closed for Purim. On March 11, grades 1-8 began their online classes followed by Early Childhood on March 16. We made the best out of difficult circumstances and created the proverbial lemonade. Thanks to our remarkable staff who navigated and mastered the new technology at lightning speed, the best possible, highest quality education continued to be shared with our children. Our teachers taught their classes using methodologies and materials best suited to long distance learning, and we are proud to say that our students are proficient and accomplished.

They are well prepared for the challenges of more

advanced learning in all discipline areas as they are promoted to next year’s grade levels. We salute our professional educators who have surpassed all expectations in their professionalism, perseverance, creativity and ingenuity. We are truly blessed.

We continue to plan for all eventualities in the fall. Following all federal, state, and city guidelines, our hope is to open in September in our beautiful building with the most current, updated health and safety requirements. If this is not possible, online learning will continue until it is safe to return. Provisions will be made for those students who need to remain online for health and distance realities.

Park East is a boutique and co-ed school which offers classes from Taste of School (our Mom and Me program) through Grade

taught to keep students up to date.

MSIH, established in 1998, is authorized by the US Education Department for federal loans. It graduated its 19th cohort of Global Health MDs (by Zoom) in May 2019, bringing the total to more than 600. Graduates are known to have worked as physicians in Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Botswana, Haiti, Tanzania, Kenya, Angola, Uganda, Liberia, Jordan, and Chad.Those that return to the US usually become their hospital’s cross-cultural expert, consulted where a patient doesn’t speak an identifiable language, or has discordant medical beliefs.

Open-Source Ventilator During his third year of studies, between the rigors of his core clinical clerkships, Daniel Levi coordinated a program that brought students of medicine together with Ben-Gurion University’s biomedical engineers to invent inexpensive medical devices for use in low-income countries.

Even before the pandemic, he and his peers had decided to concentrate their efforts on an opensource ventilator - the very project that has evolved into the panacea of our current crisis.

Like so many of the students at MSIH, Daniel is smart, driven, and a motivated pragmatist. When the full force of the current pandemic hit Israel, he was first out of the blocks, assisting Magen David Adom (Israel’s Red Cross) to set up testing centers, train test administrators, and help maintain consistent standards. Tracking international data, he makes sure his teams are up-to-date with accurate daily information. In his spare time(!), between his final studies, he’s coordinating his classmates’ volunteering activities, making sure everyone has something constructive to do.

Several of Daniel’s classmates trained to conduct the tests, but others are finding their own ways to contribute.

Third year student, Rachel Gibbs, watched the calamity engulf New York. Part of a research team at an infectious disease department at a Brooklyn hospital, they quickly switched gears to try to improve Covid-19 diagnostics.

“We’re trying to determine the specificity of CT-scan findings for Covid-19 along with other signs/symptoms, laboratory findings and patient medical history and background,” she explains.

“Since tests are still a bit scarce in the US, physicians are relying on other findings such as CTscans to determine who to put in isolation. This, possibly, has led to isolation for more Teaching Medicine During a Pandemic Like all schools of higher learning, MSIH had to adjust quickly to online education. Almost overnight curriculums had to be rewritten and courses reorganized.The school quickly developed online courses in radiology and pathology that they’ve made available to other schools. For students’ protection, education in the hospitals and other clinical sites had to be reinvented as they prepared for the onslaught of Covid 19 patients.

“These are not easy times,” says Prof. Alan Jotkowitz, MSIH Director. “We’ve had to adapt very quickly to a new world, but we’re doing it pretty well and students are still getting the education they need. It’s giving us such pride to see some of them taking an active role in the current crisis. Many MSIH MDs are on the front line in Manhattan and elsewhere and it’s immensely satisfying to know that the training we gave them is helping to save lives all over the world.”

8. Students come from all over Manhattan and the boroughs to enjoy our academic excellence in both General and Judaic studies subject areas. We nurture and facilitate the growth of each “whole child” and find the gift and talent innate in each of our students.

Emphasis on character development, Torah ethics and values, and emotional intelligence are built into all curriculum areas. Our emphasis and excellence in STEAM disciplines- Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math – prepare our graduates with the foundational knowledge and passion for higher learning. Love of Israel, Ivrit B’Ivrit classes, emphasis on textual learning, as well our Jewish identity, culture and heritage, help develop the joy of being Jewish. Steeped in three years of foreign language instruction (in addition to Hebrew) and firsthand knowledge of international diplomacy from distinguished lecturers through Rabbi Arthur Schneier’s unique International Visitors Program, our graduates excel both in academic achievements and worldly maturity in the high schools and universities in which they choose to continue their education.

From babies to teens, our fam-

ily continues to grow. For more information, please contact our Admissions Director debbie@ parkeastdayschool.org. We look forward to meeting you and your children as registration continues for next year.

RAMAZ Ram az is a co-educational Modern Orthodox Day School in the heart of New York City, educating students to see differently in their everyday lives. Students take a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving and embrace different perspectives, so that they can make a difference for the Jewish people and for all humankind.

This has never been more evident than in the last few months during the world’s health crisis and the move to distance learning.

As we face a multitude of questions about education, science, technology, and even theology, Ramaz guides students to address these through exploration and investigation. Whether our younger students are asking questions about the caterpillarbutterfly life cycle, or our older children are figuring out the engineering design cycle while learning to construct bridges, all of our students are confronting larger

questions about our world. Upper School students had the privilege of hearing from and being inspired by Stephane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, about what it is like to be developing a COVID-19 vaccine and seeking a solution to a global problem.

Our students’ support of Israel is continuously growing with lessons about the relevance of her history, current events, and culture. Students have been virtually enlightened by posek-author Rav Yosef Zvi Rimon, Israeli journalist Ms. Sivan Rahav Meir, and Jerusalem’s Deputy Mayor Ms. Fleur Hassan-Nahoum. They enjoyed the music of Mr. David Broza and learned about his humanitarian efforts. And a memorable conversation with activist Mr. Natan Sharansky, included coping tips for quarantine that he used as a refusenik. Despite the distance between us, these leaders brought the Israeli reality to us in meaningful and tangible ways.

Students have taken incredible initiative to supplement their educational experience with chesed, activism, and creativity.

Our Global Jewish Activism club produced inspirational videos to be distributed to communities around the world to encourage

hope; our Persian Culture club created a cookbook, with proceeds used to deliver food for healthcare workers; and students across all divisions collected food and PPE for those on the front lines. With the world focused on racial injustice, Ramaz has convened forums for discussion and has tasked students to come up with ideas on how they can fill the world with understanding, empathy, and benevolence.

For more than 80 years, whether physically together or learning virtually, the Ramaz mission continues to guide our students and community. To learn more about the Ramaz difference and how the school is inspiring the next generation, please call 212-774-8055.

and Judaic studies curricula are both academically challenging and developmentally appropriate. Students are engaged in active and meaningful lessons that encourage them to move beyond their comfortable limits and become creative thinkers and self-motivated learners. Both the Academy and the High School are inaugurating new space and facilities that offer a range of opportunities for hands-on, student-centered learning. The new 35,000 square foot Early Learning Center building, featuring a garden, a cooking classroom, a loose parts lab, a sensory gym, and much more will open in 2020. In the High School, recent construction included the addition of Design and Fabrication Labs, supporting a wide range of engineering, robotics, and design classes and co-curriculars.

SAR is committed to seeing each child as an individual and meeting the needs of every child.

The Student Learning Center offers support, and enrichment activities offer a challenge. By respecting, valuing, and nurturing each child’s unique spirit and talents, SAR ignites a lifelong love of learning and connection to Torah, community, and the State of Israel.

Showing compassion and acting in a socially responsible way are important components of an SAR education. SAR students engage in over 250 chesed projects each academic year. The school fosters a community of students who demonstrate sensitivity to their peers, respect for their teachers and environment, loyalty to their country, and an appreciation of the differences in others.

In addition to schoolwide celebrations and ruach-filled chagigot, a rich array of co-curricular activities rounds out the SAR experience. Students are encouraged to explore their passions outside of the classroom through a variety of activities including the arts, athletic clubs, publications, fall and spring sports, and academic activities such as debate and sports competitions, math and science tournaments, and the National Chidon Ha-Tanakh Bible competition.

The list of activities is constantly expanding, as students who voice interest in a new activity are actively encouraged to transform their ideas into reality.

Approximately 90% of SAR High School graduates spend a year studying in Israel before attending college. SAR has many alumni who return to SAR as parents and as teachers.

Every day at SAR, students in-

teract with one another and the world at large in ways that reflect respect, collaboration, and a shared commitment to Torah and mitzvot.

to the alchemy of motivated students, inspiring teachers, and dedicated staff. All of our students were able to finish the year successfully because of the seamless transition to remote learning. Classes continued without interruption, projects were completed, and end-of-year celebrations were performed. That is the Schechter way.

The Schechter School of Long Island is a Jewish day school whose dual curriculum educates and empowers its students to be critical thinkers, ethical leaders, and globally engaged citizens. Situated in Williston Park on Long Island, Schechter draws families from throughout the greater metropolitan area, including Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Brooklyn, and Queens.

We work together to achieve our students’ full potential and ensure a vibrant Jewish future. From kindergarten through grade 12, classrooms are student-centered, focusing on cognitive growth, social and emotional development, and ethical grounding. Our students graduate with deep understandings—of how systems work, of how people and communities and governments interrelate, and of what it means to think critically and behave ethically.

Our Elementary School students are academically challenged as they learn about themselves, their community, and the Jewish religion.

Shabbat and other Jewish holidays are celebrated and observed, through art and story and song in both English and Hebrew.

Middle School students develop a sense of self and explore questions of personal and Jewish identity. Students explore the sciences through an extensive STEM curriculum, and after school in E2K, Robotics, and Maker Space. A love of art and literature and music is fostered both in class and through participation in studio art, creative writing club, band, choir, and musical theater.

Schechter’s High School offers a full range of classes, from inten-

sive through AP, in addition to the dual curriculum of Jewish studies.

We are one of the first schools on Long Island to offer the AP Capstone Diploma. Academic endeavors are supported through our Counseling, Academic Learning Center, and College Office. We are proud of our award-winning student publications and professional level dramatic performances, mock trial successes and sports achievements. Senior year culminates in a production of a major length musical, presented entirely in Hebrew, and a three-week sojourn through Israel.

For more information about admission to the Schechter School of Long Island for Fall 2020, please contact Sari Allen at sallen@ schechterli.org. You can visit in person or inquire remotely. We look forward to meeting you!

SINAI SCHOOLS Operating multiple elementary and high schools across the New York Metropolitan area and New Jersey, SINAI Schools has been serving children with complex learning disabilities and special education needs for almost four decades. Our schools provide highly individualized programming and specialized therapeutic services to meet the specific needs of each of our students, and each is a “school within a school,” integrated within a mainstream day school or high school to provide a fully inclusive experience. SINAI is the only Jewish special education school to be accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

Students are grouped into multi-graded classes according to their social, academic, and emotional profiles, to create appropriate peer groups. A typical SINAI class averages between 5-9 students, with 2-3 credentialed teachers. The entire class works together on community building and social skills.

For academic learning, children work in even smaller groups or one-on-one with a teacher, based on their individual learning needs in each subject. At SINAI, we teach to each individual child’s strengths, and use a multi-sensory approach to provide our students with different ways to learn information that might be challenging to them.

SINAI students are full members of their partner school student communities – traveling on the bus together, eating lunch together, playing at recess and gym together, participating in school assemblies together, and joining their peers in mainstream academic classes when appropriate.

SINAI at SAR Academy is now open in Riverdale, NY and SINAI Elementary at YCQ will be opening this fall in Queens, NY. Please visit our website: www.sinaischools.org for more information.

day is specifically designed to maximize the learning of students with language-based learning disabilities.

YESHIVAT MAHARAT Maharat was founded in 2009 after the ordination of Rabba Sara Hurwitz by Rabbi Avi Weiss and Rabbi Dr Daniel Sperber. It is the first yeshiva to provide semikha, enabling women to serve as Orthodox clergy.

Now in its 11th year, Maharat has ordained 43 women who serve in clergy roles in synagogues, schools, hospitals, universities and Jewish communal institutions. Twentyeight students are currently studying for semikha and training to bring their voices and perspectives to inspire and enliven Orthodox Judaism and the Jewish community at large.

gram combines the traditional Orthodox semikha curriculum, focused on mastery of key sections of Halakha and Gemara, with insightful pastoral education, leadership development and practical rabbinic skills. The combination of these components position our graduates to serve as forward-thinking religious leaders, grounded in halakhic literature and fluent in the diversity of human experience.

Maharat’s Advanced Kollel: Executive Ordination Track is for women who are already Jewish leaders with many years of scholarship. Over three years (part-time), students cover the traditional Orthodox semikha curriculum through a combination of guided selfstudy, havruta discussion, and weekly shiurim taught on-line, complemented by on-site intensive seminars twice a year, during the winter and summer academic breaks.

The Beit Midrash Program is a one-year immersive learning program designed to enhance prospective semikha students’ Jewish textual literacy, fluency and skills. The program, offered in conjunction with Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, is primarily aimed at semikha program applicants, but also accepts those looking to spend a year in immersive learning of Talmud, Tanach, Halacha, and Machshava.

WIth our innovative curriculum taught by passionate faculty and our talented and driven students and alumnae, Maharat is building a world where women are equal partners: where women from every denomination finally have a place at the pulpit, on the dais, and around the communal table.

ome 25 years ago, I was privileged to be part of a trialogue of Jewish-, Arab- and AfricanAmericans, convened by the Michael Harrington Center for Democratic Values and SoFirst Person cial Change of Queens College. At the first meeting, we were asked to say what brought us to the group and what we might want our exchanges to focus on.

A Jewish-American participant, an educator, immediately mentioned “violence,” by which she meant physical assaults, and referred to the 1991 killing of Yankel Rosenbaum in Crown Heights. An Arab-American merchant said, “and I would like to add verbal violence,” and an African-American clergy member responded, “and let’s not ignore economic violence.”

A participant asked what the reverSimkha Y. Weintraub is a rabbi and licensed clinical social worker actively involved in spiritual care and human rights.

hospital. And on Saturday/Shabbat afternoon and into the evening, we heard not-so-distant mass demonstrations, including what sounded like gunshots at one point. As an over-65 man with Type I Diabetes, I became acutely aware of both my proximity to and distance from these two raging challenges, a duality that is facilitated by my status as a privileged white Jewish male.

And it is that status that gives me a special degree of responsibility to rise up and awaken to justice. I must continually sort out what my roles can be in undoing the legacy of slavery, in making good on the unfulfilled promises of America as well as the demands of the Jewish tradition. And each of us can and must be a force for healing and change to detoxify the polluted soil from which violence of all kinds grows and thrives.

all.” But the statement also noted that most law enforcement officers are “heroes” who risk their lives to protect ordinary citizens, regardless of skin color.

“These honorable officers should not be attacked or tarnished by the misconduct of others; however, it is essential that an effort be undertaken to remove any police officer that does in fact exhibit a degree of racial and ethnic bigotry,” the group said.

The Orthodox Union and the Rabbinical Council of America, the two principal national organizations representing Modern Orthodoxy, both condemned Floyd’s killing and expressed support for peaceful protests against racism while condemning the violence and looting. Agudath Israel, which represents charedi Orthodox communities, did much the same, though the Agudath statement did not use the word “racism.”

“Like all decent Americans, we are horrified by the senseless and ruthless killing of George Floyd, and we join in solidarity with the outpouring of hurt, anger and frustration expressed by responsible citizens protesting peacefully,” the group said. “We are also greatly saddened by the frightening scenes of innocent bystanders and store owners under siege, threatened by violence and mayhem, and facing the prospect of lost livelihoods and uncertain futures.”

The differing responses of Orthodox groups from their Reform and Conservative counterparts may be explained at least in part by politics. Unlike most American Jews, who tend to vote for Democrats, Orthodox Jews have leaned increasingly Republican in

recent years. According to the most recent Pew Center study of American Jews, 57 percent of Orthodox Jews are Republican or lean Republican compared to just 22 percent of American Jews as a whole.

Several Orthodox politicians in New York put out statements to similar effect, supporting peaceful protests and condemning the death of George Floyd without directly criticizing the police. But some also spent several days questioning why protesters were allowed to gather en masse while religious gatherings are still restricted because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Last Tuesday, Simcha Eichenstein, a state assemblyman representing two heavily Orthodox neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and Kalman Yeger, a New York City councilman, sent a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo saying that the protests are evidence that the time for lockdown had passed.

“Protesters are gathering, perhaps well-meaning, but surely with little regard for social-distancing standards. It has also unfortunately brought out rioters who are destroying what is left of our economy, eviscerating the life’s work of our fellow New Yorkers,” they wrote. “The lockdown may not have formally ended, but the calls for mass peaceful marching without any regard for social-distancing have rendered a continual lockdown at this point ludicrous.”

Eichenstein also tweeted in frustration over the different rules regarding protests and religious gatherings.

“Sure, protesters have the right under the first amendment to march against racism, which needs to be confronted head on in this country, but the same first amendment guarantees religious people the right to practice their faith,” he wrote in response to a statement by the mayor at a press conference.

By last Thursday, Eichenstein’s focus had shifted.

He placed a sign in the window of his Borough Park office with the words George Floyd repeated before his death, “I can’t breathe,” in large print. He also expressed mourning and solidarity with the black community in a video Thursday. “As a Hasidic Orthodox Jew, my message is we, the Orthodox Jewish people, stand with you in solidarity, we must eliminate hate wherever it exists,” Eichenstein said.

The city council’s Jewish caucus, chaired by Orthodox city councilman Chaim Deutsch, put out a statement Monday expressing solidarity with the black community but without mentioning the police. And in a letter to constituents Thursday, State Sen. Simcha Felder called George Floyd’s death an “act of pure evil,” saying that to ignore the message being sent by the black community about continued discrimination would be “unconscionable.”

But Felder also condemned the looting and violence against police officers.

“So let’s protest what we see is wrong and let’s inspire change without vilifying every member of the NYPD — they are people, too. Let’s not trade one evil for another,” he wrote.

Devorah Halberstam, an activist on anti-Semitism in Crown Heights who frequently speaks to new police recruits as part of their training, said the statements this week reflect the Orthodox community’s priorities.

“I think most people feel that people have a right to protest,” Halberstam said. “However, people are just concerned about safety and everyone wants to feel that they’re safe and that their stores are safe, their communities are safe.” ■
