And Lisa Rubins, assistant director of Camp Yavneh in rural New Hampshire, would be at home packing for camp.

IN THE BEGINNING

oon after the Covid-19 pandemic struck, some young Jewish families in Brooklyn found themselves jobless and low on cash. In a community where large families are the norm, store shelves were bare of priceless commodities: diapers and other supplies for infants. So 10 Sephardic women stepped in. The women, most of them mothers too, formed a Young Sephardic Women Diaper Drive Committee, un-

der the auspices of UJA-Federation’s Young Sephardic Division. They started collecting the requested supplies, sometimes driving door-to-door in the Sephardic community, and arranging for distribution of the items. At first, they stored the stuff in the home of a committee member. “I’m five-10 – the boxes were over my head,” says Esther Hedaya, a resident of Brooklyn’s Midwood neighborhood and a mother of two young

She says UJA-Federation spread the word about the young mothers’ requests, and the Sephardic community took up the cause, launching a two-week drive, largely through a #UJAmoms4moms Instagram campaign. “After a few days, we needed a bigger facility.” The committee members, most of them mothers too, donated many of the items, and raised funds for the rest. “We knew what moms need,” Hedaya says. Most of the supplies were collected from the Sephardic summer community in Deal, N.J, and stored at the JCC of the Jersey Shore in Deal.

As of last week, the diaper committee had distributed more than 110,000 diapers, 1,800 packs of wipes, as well as baby teethers, toys, bibs and other items to Met Council and the Carl Marks Jewish Community House of Bensonhurst. Total value: $39,840.31. The products collected by the committee were delivered directly to hundreds of families through Met Council’s Domestic Violence Program.

A Robot’s Touch Helps Heal Pain

he coronavirus pandemic leaves many missing the warmth of human embrace, Israeli scientists say robots can whir into the breach, even helping sufferers through pain when there’s nobody to hold their hand. Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev intentionally hurt volunteers by heating their skin to high temperatures. Some of the 83 volunteers were introduced to PARO, a Japanese-produced social robot that looks like a furry white seal. The results showed that the companionship and touch of the cuddly robot eased their pain. This research, just published in the journal Scientific Reports, represents “an early step in the direction of robotized pain relief,” said Shelly Levy-Tzedek, head of Ben Gurion’s Cognition, Aging and Rehabilitation Laboratory, adding that it adds to a small body of research that she said could make companion-robots commonplace in hospitals and for the elderly. “Our research suggests that social

robots can help to alleviate some of the loneliness and other feelings people have from lacking social touch and human interaction,” she said, especially when pandemic restrictions are in place. “Even a short interaction with a robot can lead to reduction in pain, and this opens up possibilities for robots to deal with situations of pain, whether it’s having blood drawn or after an operation.” Nathan Jeffay/ The Times of Israel

Schumer, Gillibrand Warn Israel Against Annexation Democratic opponents include some of the country’s biggest backers.

ashington — N.Y. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are warning Israel against annexing parts of the West Bank, with Schumer joining two other pro-Israel stalwarts in a strongly worded statement. Schumer, the Senate minority leader, and Sens. Ben Cardin of Maryland and Robert Menendez of New Jersey released a statement Friday saying they were “compelled to express opposition to the proposed unilateral annexation of territory in the West Bank.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could launch the process to annex parts of the West Bank as early as July 1. Separately, Gillibrand expressed her opposition in a letter last week to President Donald Trump, whose peace plan released earlier this year gives Israel a green light to annex some settlements. Schumer, Cardin and Menendez are only the latest Democrats in Congress to warn Israel against the proposed annexation, but they may be the most significant, not only because Schumer leads the party but because they are often at the forefront of pro-Israel legislation. Menendez has been a leader on Iran sanc-

Rich Waloff to Retire as Publisher of Jewish Week A long commute ends for a creative marketing expert and tenacious salesman.

Staff Report

uring his first days at The Jewish Week, Rich Waloff worried that he’d made a mistake in accepting the job of associate publisher. He’d given up a successful post as business director of The Jewish Exponent of Philadelphia, where he served more than 20 years, and now found himself commuting about four hours a day by car and train from his suburban Pennsylvania home to Times Square, and back. But drawn to the challenge of succeeding in the world’s largest Jewish community — and global advertising center — he stuck with it and persevered. Today, 26 years later, as he steps down as New York publisher, Waloff, 70, takes pride in having overseen the growth of The Jewish Week Media Group (JWMG), which now includes The Jewish Week and

Rich Waloff, who joined The Jewish Week in 1994, is retiring as publisher. New Jersey Jewish News. Among the initiatives that Waloff was deeply involved with were the company’s website (in 1997), a wide range of special issues, advertising supplements, educational projects, community forums and the annual Jewish Week kosher wine tasting event that draws more than 500 people each spring. “We’ve come a long way,” Waloff

said the other day. “When I started, the 92nd Street Y wasn’t an advertiser, which floored me. It was one of my first sales successes.” In recent years, though, advertising successes at The Jewish Week and across the media world have been rare, creating a financial challenge that has only been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Waloff, who had set his retirement date before the pandemic struck, will serve as a consultant to JWMG, starting in July, as it negotiates a crisis that has hit it and other media and Jewish organizations hard. He said he was honored to have worked with “smart, dedicated board presidents” Richard Hirsch, Peter Wang, Stuart Himmelfarb and, for the last several months, Kai Falkenberg, adding that “the entire staff are all hard-working professionals who care deeply” about the paper and its websites. He noted his close relationship of

more than 25 years with Gary Rosenblatt, the former editor and publisher, and managing editor Rob Goldblum, both of whom came to The Jewish Week in 1993 when the paper underwent a major makeover. Waloff was hired a year later to lead the business staff; he was named publisher when Rosenblatt stepped down in 2019. Rosenblatt, currently editor at large, said, “It was an honor and privilege for me to work alongside Rich for more than 25 years. His caring nature and attention to detail on so many fronts, from sales to production to our website, was inspiring. And yet he always found time to be there for staff. He has been the heart of the operation, the go-to guy for all of us.” Goldblum noted that although Waloff’s job was to “focus on the bottom line, he always supported our efforts to report tough stories, even ones that would hurt on the advertising side, and he freed up money so we could pursue

Next Steps

continued from page 5 our current cantor, Dov Keren, who has been here for 36 years. Drawing on what we learned from welcoming Abby, we are beginning with the end in mind. We know that we want our congregation to develop meaningful relationships with Cantor Kanfer, and so we will have virtual parlor meetings. We know that we want to deepen and strengthen our spiritual practice through Jewish music as a sacred community, and so, the cantor will teach various courses, across Zoom. We know that we want people to access our traditional texts in an accessible way, and so the cantor will create digital platforms for our congregants to delve deeper into the prayers and how they can speak to each person’s soul. And of course, he will be able to connect with our SPS children on Friday mornings during our virtual “Sutton Summer” as he leads Shabbat prayers. He will lead us in a Tisha B’av observance over Zoom. And this is all the prelude to this fall’s High Holiday season, which will be far from normal but will feel deeply familiar and meaning-

ful, even if it is virtual. Cantor Kanfer will bring his generosity of spirit, his incredible voice, and his love of Jewish people and Jewish music to elevate our community and in turn, we are confident that he will feel a part of us. We have learned that in order to welcome and expand and integrate people -- community members and professionals -- we must lean into technology. It allows us to create connections between people who might have a harder time coming to the synagogue physically. And we need to, when we are back meeting in person, continue to provide access to our services in a livestream manner and be more conscious about welcoming those who aren’t only “in the room where it happens.” Leaning into technology (and practicing social distancing) not only flattens the curve but shrinks a sense of geographic distance. Understanding and articulating our vision and our goals are the key to success as we plan in a very uncertain world. We don’t know what the months ahead will be like, but we believe that with the right professional team, a committed membership, an engaged community and an articulated mission, we can be successful during and after the era of Covid-19. n

Schumer continued from page 6 who opposed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, a key foreign policy priority of then-President Barack Obama. (The fourth was Joe Manchin of Virginia.) Cardin and Schumer are Jewish. “A sustainable peace deal that ensures the long-term security of Israel and self-determination for Palestinians must be negotiated directly between the two parties,” the statement said. “Unilateral annexation runs counter to those longstanding policies and could undermine regional stability and broader US national security interests in the region.” A letter circulating among House Democrats issuing a similar warning has garnered over 120 signatures, including Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., the majority leader, who is considered the congressman closest to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC opposes the letter, saying, “We have not taken a position on annexation. However, we do not support this letter for these reasons - it publicly criticizes Israel for potentially deciding upon a policy that would only be adopted with the approval of the U.S. government, it fails to reaffirm America’s full commitment to Israel’s security assistance and it focuses only on what it sees as inappropriate Israeli behavior, while failing to note that Palestinian leaders have been unwilling to return to the negotiating table for nearly a decade.” If the letter organizers reach 200 or more of the 235 Democrats in the House, it will set up AIPAC and Israel for tensions with Democrats on a par with 2015, when the party was furious with Netanyahu for accepting a GOP invitation to use Congress as a podium to lash out against Obama’s Iran policies. At that time, however, Netanyahu had the support of many of the proIsrael Democrats who now are speaking out against annexation. Another 19 Democrats in the Senate sent a letter last month to Israel’s leadership saying annexation would “fray” ties with Democrats, and eight Democrats in the Senate separately issued their own statements or letters. Among them are senators who have been close to AIPAC, like Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Kamala Harris of California, whom Joe Biden, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, is considering as a running mate. In total, that’s 30 of the 47 Democrats in the Senate who are warning Israel against annexation. Gillibrand spells out in her letter what other Democrats have hinted: She is writing in part to give Netanyahu’s coalition partner, Benny Gantz, who has been ambivalent about annexation, a license to oppose the plan. “I understand that the Israeli coalition agreement stipulates that annexation will only proceed under ‘full agreement with the United States’ and, in my capacity as a U.S. senator, wanted to notify you that I must withhold my agreement at this time,” Gillibrand said. n

Summer Camps continued from page 1

in preparation for his son’s wedding and fundraising by phone and Zoom to make up for this summer’s lost tuition income. Cooper and Rubins are at home, in Riverdale and White Plains respectively, planning online sessions their camps plan to offer in the coming months in lieu of in-person programs — some for free, some at a reduced charge. All of their in-person camps are cancelled this year. In the week after Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that all overnight camps in the state will be closed this summer, and following the earlier decisions of most Jewish camps in this country to cancel this year’s sessions, most camp officials contacted by The Jewish Week are scrambling to create, on short notice, activities that take place on Zoom and other alternatives. The camp leaders worry not just about the loss of revenue and summer fun, but a Jewish educational ecosphere. Their programming goes beyond kickball and color war — the camps’ potential to build and sustain long-term Jewish identity has attracted tens of millions of dollars in philanthropy. “Camp leadership is of course concerned about what will be lost by the summer,” said Jerry Fingerman, CEO of the Foundation for Jewish Camp. “We think about first-time campers who were ready to begin their camp experiences, campers who were counting down the days to reunite with their friends and take on leadership roles during their culminating summer, and the collegeage young adults who go to camp to be counselors and are more likely to remain engaged in their Jewish communities.” With this in mind, the Foundation,

Some 75,000 youth attend Jewish day camps, and about 80,000 attend overnight camps, according to the Foundation for Jewish Camp.

the umbrella organization of most Jewish camps in the United States, has partnered with Mosaic United, the flagship initiative of Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, to launch Jewish Camp @ Home, an online program designed to help camps share their new ideas. “We believe this model of support will help [camp leadership] engage campers, staff and families and support camps endeavors to reach an even broader audiences for future summers at camp,” Fingerman said. “Summer 2020 offers a rare opportunity to learn and experiment with the ways we bring camp home.” Camp leaders realize campers and staff have spent the last few months in front of a computer screen. “Kids and parents have this Zoom fatigue,” said Skopp Cooper, who predicted a hiatus of a week or two before parents and their children decide to try out online programming when faced with stretches of free time in the summer.

Morasha, in Lakewood, Pa., cited Zoom fatigue in foregoing online activities. “Our campers and staff will have been in front of a screen for four months (and kudos to our unbelievable teachers who have served as heroes through this!),” he said in an email. “Come summer time, when children should be able to be outside, I do not believe it’s healthy to offer programming that puts them back inside and in front of a screen.” Instead, the camp is building a “CampConnect” platform to facilitate connections between staff and families looking to hire tutors and backyard counselors. According to the Foundation for Jewish Camp, some 75,000 kids and teens attended Jewish day camps last summer, and about 80,000 attended Jewish overnight camps. Those figures do not include several thousand campers at camps under charedi auspices, mostly chasidic, which are not part of the FJC network.

Charedim push back

utside the Orthodox network, Jewish camps appear ready to comply with the state lockdown. However, the Association of Jewish Camp Operators, which represents dozens of camps serving Orthodox children in New York, is challenging Cuomo’s ban, saying it should not apply to Jewish camps because they fulfill a religious need. The Association filed a lawsuit on June 18. Kalman Yeger, an Orthodox city councilman from Brooklyn, is even urging sleepaway camps to open despite the ban. “When thousands and thousands of children are in camps, I challenge the governor to drive around and send all the kids back home,” he told JTA. “Let him drive the kids home.” The New York State Department of

Health said sleepaway camps that reopen in spite of the ban could face penalties — including possibly losing their right to operate after the pandemic is over. Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, who represents a large Orthodox community, is encouraging camp directors to find suitable campgrounds in other states in time for the summer session. At least one new camp already has popped up out of state to serve Orthodox children after other camps were forced to close. Camp Tof Shin Pei will open in Florida this summer with one monthlong session for Chabad girls. Eichenstein said he presented the governor with a 19-page document with proposed guidance for camps prior to Cuomo’s decision last week to keep them closed. Without camp, he worries about how the children he represents will spend their summer. “If you’re saying no to sleepaway camps, what is your solution to thousands of young adults not having structure, not having an educational structure, not being in a controlled environment?” Eichenstein asked, addressing his question to Cuomo. Rubins of Camp Yavneh said she sees a positive side of this year’s campless summer. “It might make the longing for camp even stronger.” “The long-term effect [of a lost summer] will be minimal,” Cooper said. It will not irreparably harm campers’ Jewish commitment, said Silverman, whose camp largely serves the Modern Orthodox community. His campers “come from committed homes. We’re not worried that they are going to lose it.” The goals of Jewish camps “have to shift a little bit” and be a bit more modest than in past years, Rubins said. “Our goals are to keep kids connected with each other, to keep kids connected with Yavneh and to ensure that Yavneh continues for another season.” Rubins said she is optimistic. “Nobody plans better for a rainy day than summer camps. We do it every day.” ■ steve@jewishweek.org

‘A Mensch’

n a career that has spanned 48 years in Jewish journalism, in Philadelphia and New York, Waloff developed a reputation as a creative marketing expert and tenacious salesman, but also

as a caring, compassionate colleague — a view held by publishers and business managers at Jewish and secular newspapers in New York and around the country. Waloff served on the board of the New York Press Association and was president of the American Jewish Press Association from 2003 to 2007. “Rich has led countless committees over the years” for the group, said Craig Burke, the current president of AJPA. Falkenberg, president of The Jewish Week board, said that Waloff’s “steadfast leadership has helped The Jewish Week solidify its place as ‘the paper of record’ for the New York Jewish community.

IGAL CHOZAHINOFF,

age 84, of Las Vegas, passed away on Friday, June 19, 2020. Igal was born June 16, 1936 in Jerusalem Israel, to the late Ben Zion and the late Frecha Chozahinoff. He served in the IDF as a manager of a carriage workshop serving military vehicles such as trucks and tanks. He participated in Operation Kadesh and served on the Sinai border during the Sinai War and was discharged from duty with the rank of Sergeant. Igal was a diamond merchant who owned a factory and was a designer of fine jewelry. He was a founding member of the Bukharian Jewish Community Center in Forest Hills, NY. Continuing the work of his father Ben Zion Chozahinoff who was the head of the Bukharian community in Tel Aviv, his energy and efforts left a visible mark in the history of World Bukharian Jewry. He assisted with adjudicating divorces, guardianships and business problems for the Bukhari people. Thousands of people are now utilizing the seeds of his previous tremendous and active work on behalf of the community. Since moving to Las Vegas 22 years ago, he became an active member of Temple Beth Sholom and a staple and leader of the daily morning minyan. He was often known to quote from the Talmud, in the style of Tevia the Milkman, to back up an ethical thought that he wanted to get across. He was loved by many in the community and will be greatly missed. Igal is survived by his wife of 54 years, Barbara Chozahinoff; children Dan Chozahinoff and wife Michelle, and Sharon Lieblein; grandchildren Jack Lieblein , Benjamin Chozahinoff , Rose Lieblein and Sam Chozahinoff; brother Yehoshua Nof; and the entire Chozahinoff, Weiss, Mavashov, Nof, Bodenstein and Lieblein family. A funeral service was held in Las Vegas with a graveside service at the New Montefiore Cemetery in New York. In lieu of flowers, please donate in his memory to the Mollie Weiss Memorial Fund at Temple Beth Sholom Las Vegas www.bethsholomlv.org

that will be sorely missed.” Stuart Himmelfarb, a co-chair and immediate past president of The Jewish Week board, often referred to Waloff as “the hardest working guy in advertising in New York.” He cited “the energy and commitment Rich has brought to his work” in such a competitive market. Himmelfarb also noted Waloff’s “caring nature as a friend.” Peter Wang, a co-chair and former board president, observed that “no matter how hard the challenges we’ve faced over the years — and we’ve faced our share — Rich approached them all with incredible skill and determination, as well as great humor and common sense.” Richard Hirsch, a former board president who helped recruit Waloff, said he still remembers “the thumbs up” that the late Eugene Grant (a former president) and he gave each other after the hiring interview. “Rich deserves the highest praise for his diligence and humility to all who worked with him at the paper,” Hirsch said. “His guidance and concern were a true blessing.” Those who worked closest with Waloff — both colleagues and advertisers — consistently described him as “a mensch,” “a gentleman.” Jack Linder, a cousin of Waloff’s who gave him his first job at The Jewish Exponent, recalled that from the outset, “there was never a job he didn’t do, and do well.” Editor in chief Andrew Silow-Carroll, who joined The Jewish Week in 2019, said: “I’ve compared Rich to the guy who keeps dozens of plates spinning on the ends of dozens of bamboo poles. Not only did he manage an endless list of responsibilities, but he always did so with a smile (and only the occasional deep sigh). I’ll miss him as a partner.” Ruth Rothseid, advertising manager of The Jewish Week for the last 19 years, said Waloff “took on tasks he didn’t have to do. He was always there for you.” Longtime advertisers cited Waloff’s patience and attentiveness. Gabe Geller of Royal Wine mentioned Waloff’s “calm and solutions-oriented manner,” Sheryl Stein of El Al spoke of his “sincerity” and good humor, and Lynda Clare of PKH (Presidential Kosher Holidays) Passover Vacations said he was “always accessible, efficient and really fair.” When he wasn’t busy commuting — working while on the train — Waloff made time to study Jewish texts each week by phone with a chavruta (study partner) through Partners For Torah. He said he decided to take on the discipline while flying to Israel in August 2006. It was at the outset of the Lebanon War and he and his wife, Eileen and their sons, Brandon and Kevin, were accompanying their closest friends and neighbors, Mark and Harriet Levin. They were en route to the funeral of the Levins’ son, Michael, a lone soldier in the IDF who was killed in action at the age of 22. “We feel so very close to Rich, not just because he and Eileen came with us to Michael’s funeral,” Harriet Levin said, “but because he is the most kind and considerate person I know. Ever since Michael died, Rich sends us a Good Shabbat text every Friday. That’s the kind of person he is.” n

Pandemic Tensions Set Off Fireworks Beween Mayor, Orthodox Community Shira Hanau JTA

hey set off car alarms, honked car horns and set off air horns. If they can’t sleep, they reasoned, the mayor shouldn’t either. Dozens of Orthodox Jews demonstrated outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City’s mayor, Monday night in a protest over the fireworks that have become a nightly ritual in Brooklyn

and beyond. Brooklyn residents — Jewish and nonJewish alike — have complained for days that fireworks are set off until the early hours of the morning with little action by law enforcement. Mayor Bill de Blasio’s press secretary indicated Monday on Twitter several hours prior to the protest that the city would announce “a multiagency crackdown on illegal fireworks suppliers.” Still, the protest opened a new front in a deepening battle between the city’s Orthodox Jewish

communities and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The relationship between the mayor and his Orthodox constituents, once cozy, has soured in recent months as some Orthodox Jews have alleged that the city enforced social distancing regulations unevenly and targeted the Orthodox community disproportionately. (According to city data, most citations were issued to black and Latino New Yorkers.) “People that have come out from communities in Brooklyn, from all different communities, with one unified message, and that is: De Blasio must go,” one man said over a loudspeaker to cheering protesters and honking cars. The mayor’s term ends next year. Last week members of the Orthodox community turned their attention to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s ban on overnight camps, issued to keep the coronavirus pandemic in check. A lawsuit filed June 18 by the Association of Jewish Camp Operators, which represents dozens of camps serving Orthodox children in New York, charges that Cuomo’s ban should not apply to Jewish camps because they fulfill a religious need. (See story, p. 1.) That lawsuit followed on the heels of another lawsuit about the impact of New York’s coronavirus restrictions on Jewish communities. Three Orthodox men from Brooklyn are suing the state over restrictions on the number of people who can attend religious services during the pandemic. Three Orthodox lawmakers have been leading the charge against the de Blasio administration. Last week State Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, City Councilman Kalman Yeger and State Sen. Simcha Felder joined local radio personality Heshy Tischler on June 16 to cut the chains off a Brooklyn playground gate that was still shuttered by the city. At a daily media briefing, de Blasio was asked about the chain cuttings. “We’re not going to allow people to take the law into their own hands,” he said, though he was not asked and did not comment on the fact that elected officials had participated in the chain cutting themselves. It was unclear who organized the fireworks protest but it appeared to draw a range of New Yorkers. One video from the protest showed an Orthodox man in a white button-down shirt and black kippah sitting cross-legged in a crosswalk with a black man. While some protesters wore masks, many in the videos did not. ■

OPINION EDITORIAL

What We Should Do About Those Statues

cross the country, local and state leaders have been heeding the call of protesters who seek to remove statues and memorials glorifying the Confederacy. In nearly all these cases, it’s the right move: The statues are an affront not just to African Americans but to anyone who rejects white supremacy and respects the American idea. President Trump has defended these statues in the name of “history”; in fact, nearly all were erected in an early 20th-century effort to rewrite the history of an inglorious struggle for an immoral cause. Traitors to their country and defenders of slavery were recast as champions of “states’ rights” and defenders against “Northern agg r e s s i o n . ” We see the same impulse in Eastern E u r o p e t o d a y, where nationalist governments are seeking to rehabilitate Nazi collaborators as anti-Communist heroes. Our own opposition to such propaganda should give us empathy for the anti-Confederate protests. Granted, some of these efforts go too far in simplifying the historical record and holding historical figures to unfair standards, ignoring the context in which they acted and in which they formed beliefs that today have been shown to be retrograde. The Theodore Roosevelt statue in front of the American Museum of Natural History, which cast the former president as a Great White Father flanked by figures representing black and indigenous peoples, was racist and demeaning and deserved to come down. But that shouldn’t lead to a fatwa against Roosevelt. We can, and should, have conversations

about TR’s tragic shortcomings without expunging the inspiration he has provided to reformers and environmentalists. Removal is a harder call as the historical record becomes more ambiguous or even forgotten. Few Jews, we imagine, have a visceral reaction to statues of Peter Stuyvesant, even though the last Dutch governor of what became New York was a vicious anti-Semite. His name is shared by an elite high school that counts countless Jews as alumni, various streets, post offices, and the East Side residential development. Paul Newell, district leader in Lower Manhattan and the Lower East Side, tweeted on June 21 that Stuyvesant is the “most overnamed person in #NYC in terms of both his moral worth and historical significance.” But rather than an orgy of renaming and removal, we might all be better served by an ongoing discussion of why his memory was important to the New Yorkers who honored him and what lessons — and warnings — we can take from the city’s colonial past. Such discussions should be part of a careful process, like that of New York City’s Advisory Commission on monuments, that takes into account the views of historians, preservationists, artists and, crucially, members of the public who represent our country’s diversity. Removal can’t be the only option. Often, history and the public good would be better served by talking about the truthful and complicated legacy of those being honored, and providing signage and education that puts their memorials in context.

We don’t need an orgy

of removal.

LETTERS

Black Lives Matter Is Not About Israel

Re: “Clergy See Birth of New Movement for Civil Rights” by Stewart Ain; “Black Lives Matter and the Floyd Protests,” letter, June 12. Around 2013, the slogan “Black Lives Matter” arose to signify protesting police killings of unarmed black men. I, like many progressive Jews, was torn: At the time an organization called “Black Lives Matter” published a platform; it included an item accusing Israel of genocide and supporting the anti-Israel boycott. I supported the concept of BLM, but I did not want to be associated with an organization that seemed to be aligning itself with anti-Semitic forces. But now it’s 2020. Black Lives Matter, Inc. is now a registered charity, with a Website, blacklivesmatter.com. I have searched that site and have found only strong statements of their mission of protecting and improving black lives – not a word about Israel anywhere. Of course, we still have to be vigilant – always – about anti-Semitism creeping into any movement. But at this point the organization Black Lives Matter does not appear to be tainted by anti-Israel rhetoric or antiSemitism. I hope that recognizing this fact can introduce some clarity into our Jewish responses to the phrase, “Black Lives Matter.” Susan E. Hodge Bexley, Ohio

Support Racial Equality, Not Attacks on Israel

Michael Koplow’s article is disturbing (“Why Zionists Should Stand With Black Lives Matter,” June 19). He is correct in suggesting that we all need to support efforts to reduce racial tension and create racial equality. That does not require support for the Movement for Black Lives, whose platform included a plank condemning Israel. Instead of recruiting support for the fight for equality, M4BL, a coalition that includes the Black Lives Matter Movement, has used its platform to divide the community. Jews have always been at the forefront of support for racial equality from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel to Israel saving Ethiopian Jewry and bringing them to Israel. Our community organizations like UJA and federations are in the forefront of helping raise the level of the lives of all communities. We need to support more of this and to eliminate police brutality, but we cannot afford to support organizations that trash Israel. Ira Kellman New York, NY

Rabbi Norman Lamm: A Giant of a Leader

As his neighbor in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights and my role under him as youth director of Manhattan’s Jewish Center, I am profoundly aggrieved by the passing of Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm. He was a giant of leader in academia, Jewish philosophy, Talmud and education and menschlichkeit. Very approachable, friendly and with a worldly wit, Dr. Lamm, my twin brothers’ classmate at Mesivta Torah Vodaath and following Rabbi Dr. Belkin as president of Yeshiva University, Rabbi Lamm is mourned and missed by thousands of Yeshiva University graduates and ordained rabbis, students and youth directors.

An Act of Chesed From World War II

Over these past few months we’ve endured an incredible number of Covid-19 deaths and most recently massive outrage against police brutality on the African American community. These events have over-shadowed the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps and the end of WW II in Europe. With that in mind, I’d like to share a relatively unknown post-war story. US Army 2nd Lt. John R. Withers was an African-American officer of a quartermaster truck company which transported supplies around the liberated Dachau concentration camp. The American military had banned its soldiers from fraternizing with Germans and other civilians they might encounter. Withers had been counting on using his GI Bill benefits once he left the Army to pursue a PhD in political science. Withers feared losing his GI Bill benefits, knowing that the Army meted out much harsher penalties to African-American soldiers violating orders than to their white counterparts. According to the 2020 book “Balm In Gilead: A Story from the War,” by his son John L. Withers II, Withers’ soldiers happened upon two Jewish teenage Holocaust survivors begging for food. The soldiers fed them and then hid them from their lieutenant. When Withers discovered the deception he found himself in a quandary. He recognized the wretch-

EDITOR’S COLUMN

Fighting for incrementalism when revolution is in the air.

argo Martindale does a terrific Bella Abzug in “Mrs. America,” the FX/Hulu miniseries about the fight over the Equal Rights Amendment. The actress appears to crawl into the skin and under the hats of the intimidat-

Andrew Silow-Carroll

ing Abzug, the three-term congresswoman from New York City who organized the 1977 National Women’s Conference in Houston. Like Abzug – or what I remember of her from the TV news — Martindale is witty, sardonic and a little too blunt for her own good. Abzug always reminded me of my mother, of blessed memory, who was all those things and more. Martindale’s performance brings all that Jewy, outer-borough energy roaring back. The series is an essay on how to acquire and deploy political power. Gloria Steinem (Rose Byrne) deftly works the media, while feminism’s bete noire, Phyllis Schlafly (a regal, frightening Cate Blanchett) organizes the grassroots (no series has ever shown more envelope-stuffing and coldcalling, the unglamorous but necessary side of organizing). And when the feminist leaders in the show debate where to apply or respond to pressure — on LGBT rights, on universal childcare, on women of color — it is Abzug’s character who represents, sometimes to a fault, the art of the possible. More than the other characters, she understands how laws are made, the compromises that are necessary, the excrement that must be eaten if progress is

to be made against intractable opponents. The idealists see her as cynical, and the radicals consider her a sellout. Here she is in a heated exchange with Byrne as Steinem, the Ms. Magazine founder who is upset that Abzug finds it expedient to include conservative women at the National Women’s Conference: Gloria: We finally have a place that’s ours, and they’re going to ruin it. Bella: I’ve spent almost 10 years in this town; I know what I can get done and what I can’t, something you’ve never had to learn. Gloria: I’ve learned that I’m not willing to sit on another convention floor, getting called a murderer of babies. I’m not willing to let women speak who are getting funding by the Birchers. I’m sick of trading our dreams for a bit of the middle. This was supposed to be our Eden, and you’ve let the snakes in. You were a bigger radical than me when we met. Bella: And you were a dilettante who wanted to play politics. “I’m sick of trading our dreams for a bit of the middle.” That’s the frustration of “Defund the Police” activists who think incremental change is no solution to the crisis of police violence. “We mean what we say we mean—police in this country need to go; defunded, abolished. And the prisons,” Taylor James, a 26-year-old from Maryland, told Vanity Fair. “We tried Band-Aiding the problem, we tried reforms, and what? Another Black man was murdered and we’re still out protesting.” But it is Abzug’s voice you hear when pragmatists argue that radical solutions are a gift to the other side, and that real change comes through “meaningful reforms” of existing institutions and structures. Stacey Abrams could have

been channeling Abzug when she was interviewed on PBS NewsHour last week. Judy Woodruff asked the Georgia politician, who is on the short list to be Joe Biden’s 2020 running mate, to respond to criticism that Biden’s calls to reform police and prisons are tepid. Says Abrams: First and foremost, as someone who’s an activist myself, I understand the power of a rallying cry. But I also recognize that the responsibility of policymakers is to take the vision that is being espoused, the anguish that is being expressed, and turn it into real policies that cannot only be implemented but sustained. Until Biden’s remarkable comeback in South Carolina, that argument – say, revolution vs. incrementalism – was the Democratic Party’s dilemma. Biden’s presumptive nomination seemed to settle the debate in favor of the pragmatists, at least at the national level. Now, with the George Floyd protests, the split is being revealed once again. Some of this is generational: Young people have a natural tendency to be more impatient than their elders. But among longtime civil rights activists, there is earned frustration about the lack of change when it comes to police violence, mass incarceration and insti-

tutionalized racism. Michelle Alexander’s book “The New Jim Crow,” which described nearly every issue being discussed in the wake of Floyd’s killing, was published in 2010. “A return to ‘normalcy’ will not suffice,” according to a letter signed by 50 liberal groups in response to Biden. “For too many

Black people, normalcy has meant violence, intimidation and fear. What we actually need is a visionary departure from ‘normal.’” Bella Abzug was hardly the defender of the status quo, however, and often made enemies, she often mused, because she refused to compromise. But she pushed back at normal not by proposing unrealizable policies, but by organizing and building coalitions. In her 2018 biography, “Battling Bella,” Leandra Ruth Zarnow writes that by the mid-1960s, “Abzug had decided it was time to transition from being an outside agitator to an outsider agitating on the inside.” And yet. The ERA hasn’t passed. Abzug lost her 1976 bid for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate. If anything, we’ve gone backwards on race. Maybe it’s time to pull off the Band-Aid. n

Worn Out and Down? You Are Not Alone David Wolpe

avid had the strength to defeat Goliath. Yet he had moments of despair, as expressed in the Psalms: “I am worn out calling for help” [Psalms 69:3]. Jeremiah was a prophet of legendary power and will, but he called out, “Oh, that I had a refuge in the wilderness that I might leave and go away from the Musings people” [Jeremiah 9:2]. Elijah fought with the Priests of Baal and defeated them. Yet he cries to God: “I have had enough, O Lord, take my life” [1Kings 19:4]. If you have low moments in this difficult time, you are not alone. The most powerful spiritual figures in history have felt sometimes that the burden was too great, the battle too overwhelming. The secret we learn from them is not that there can never be moments of despair, but that those moments cannot define us. Rising again, rising anew, is the debt we owe to ourselves, to each other and to God who fashioned us. Feel dismay, express despair, experience defeat; fall and fail. Then stand and breathing deep, carry on. Rabbi David Wolpe is spiritual leader of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles. His latest book is “David: The Divided Heart” (Yale University Press).

The Dishonest Debate about ‘Annexation’

y the beginning of July, Israel and the United States are set to make a decision about implementing a key aspect of the Trump administration’s “Peace to Prosperity” plan. Should the U.S. approve, Israel may well — as the scheme called for — extend its law to cover West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley. That has the international community, American Jewry and leading politicians here in an uproar. Yet even by the debased standards of contemporary politics, the debate about this idea is largely disingenuous. Israel is being accused of annexing territory in violation of international law. Annexation is the incorrect word to describe what is being contemplated. Annexing means taking land that belongs to someone Jonathan S.

else. Whether or not you think Israelis should be there, the West Bank (a term that is geographically nonsensical but has stuck to the territories) never belonged to the Palestinians or any other sovereign nation since Turkey and then Britain possessed them. But since “annexation” implies Israeli wrongdoing and is easier to use than the more cumbersome “applying Israeli law to disputed territory,” it continues to be employed. Nor is true that international law is being violated. The San Remo Agreement of 1920 and the League of Nations Mandate both guaranteed the right of Jews to settle in these lands. Until a peace agreement is signed dividing it up, they remain disputed, not “Palestinian” lands stolen by Israel. The main argument floated by the Jewish left and Democratic Party critics of both President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is equally wrongheaded. They assert that the move will make

a two-state solution impossible and doom Israel to being an apartheid state. The apathy about the issue on the part of most Israelis and Palestinians about this issue gives the lie to this claim. The two-state solution died in the explosions of the second intifada. The Palestinians have repeated rejected offers of statehood and peace by Israelis for the last 20 years. Neither the Palestinian Au-

thority nor Hamas want peace because it would require them to end their century-long war on Zionism. Should the Palestinians ever change their minds, they can still have a demilitarized independent state even after the Trump plan is implemented. Most settlements would be kept by Israel even in a theoretical peace agreement that the Palestinians clearly don’t want. “Annexing” them won’t upset Israel’s demographic balance nor does it sustain the canard about “apartheid” since it won’t change much about the lives of either Jews or Arabs. More sober observers, like Israeli author Yossi Klein Halevi, are anxious that it will sink hopes for a rapprochement with the Arab world. They accept the notion put forward by a diplomat from the United Arab Emirates that the choice is “annexation or normalization.” This threat lacks credibility since their embrace of Israel

as a tacit ally against Iran is based on self-interest, not affection for Zionism. As with Trump’s moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, they may fuss but they won’t return to open hostility, let alone lift a finger for a Palestinian state they don’t want any more than most Israelis. Moreover, the expectation that most Arab states will embrace full normalization is a pipe dream. Saudi Arabia, whose legitimacy is rooted in its role as guardian of Islamic holy places, will never exchange ambassadors with Israel even if it looks on it as an ally. The same is true of most other Arab nations. Their fears of the rampant anti-Semitism of the Arab world will never allow full diplomatic relations even as they continue to cooperate on both defense and trade under the table. Equally unfounded is the worry that it will undermine Israel’s standing abroad or give ammunition to the BDS movement and make the Jew-

White Jews Must Listen to Jews of Color

Over the past several weeks, we have felt a range of emotions — outrage, sadness, anger, and fear — in response to the brutal murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others, and the failures in our law enforcement systems, which too often perpetrate violence.

The weariness, exhaustion, and fear that Jews of color and people of color across the United States are feeling right now cannot be underestimated. At the same time, we note that many Jewish organizations and leaders are speaking up for racial justice in ways that feel stronger and bolder than ever before, and that gives us some hope. The sands appear to be shifting, and it seems possible that this flurry of organizational statements means that Jewish leaders are beginning to view racial justice as an es-

They are only a first step on a longer, messier journey of learning and action — for individuals and for our community as a whole. For white Jews like us —

and, hopefully, for all white people — the harder work involves examining our own discomfort, listening to others, and asking critical questions about who we are, what we need to learn, and how we want to change. Savala Trepczynski, the executive director of the Center for Social Justice at University of

There is an argument to be made that maintaining an unpleasant status quo is the most sensible option, and I have said as much in this space. But it is a mistaken notion that Israel will do great damage to itself by applying its law to areas that it never plans to leave, doing so with the backing of a U.S. peace plan, and eschewing the illusions and magical thinking that characterized past American efforts. “Annexation” will change little about either the conflict or the desultory efforts of some American Jews to refute the false claims of its detractors. To the contrary, it will be one more reminder to the Palestinians of the costs of intransigence. Doing so bolsters the only realistic, if still unlikely, path to peace. ■ Some people assume that because Jews of color are in our families, we are experts on understanding racism. We’re not. Other people assume that because of our leadership and commitments to social justice, we have this all figured out. We don’t. We still have a lot to learn about how racism and white supremacy operate — and we know we will continue to make mistakes. Sometimes we may hurt people we love, despite our very best intentions. Sometimes our words will shut down an important conversation about race instead of cracking it open. And sometimes we may stumble or lose our way entirely because we forgot to stop and listen. We are on a learning journey — for ourselves, our multiracial families, and our collective future. We want to see our own implicit biases more clearly. We want 21st-century Jewish life to be the best it can be — to fully include Jews of all races, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. And we want the Jewish community to stand for equality and justice for all people everywhere and to reflect that commitment in our families, congregations, organizations, and philanthropic priorities. At a time of profound discord and brokenness, we know that these efforts are essential to healing our fractured democracy and building a better future for all. As the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber taught, “We start with ourselves. But we don’t end with ourselves.” ■ This article was originally published on eJewishPhilanthropy.com and was republished at The Times of Israel by permission.

Sanford Greenberg’s Vision Quest The entrepreneur and public servant’s memoir tracks a life beating back the darkness.

Sandee Brawarsky Culture Editor

anford Greenberg was a junk dealer’s son from Buffalo when, in 1959, he arrived in New York City with one suitcase, to attend Columbia College on scholarship. Flourishing, he studied anthropology with Margaret Mead and poetry with Mark Van Doren, and made sure to get around the city to museums and concerts. Within his first month on the Morningside Heights campus, he met a classmate, Arthur Garfunkel, who asked him to look closely at a certain patch of grass and consider its color and shape. He was taken with the young man’s dreaminess and intelligence, and they became fast friends and then roommates — and more than 60 years later, Greenberg and Garfunkel and their other roommate, Jerry Speyer (who would become a major New York real estate developer), remain the best of friends. But the golden glow Greenberg felt when he entered the gates of Columbia didn’t last. During his junior year, Greenberg lost his sight to misdiagnosed glaucoma — a surgery to save his eyes couldn’t save his vision. Back home in Buffalo, he felt like his dreams of study, perhaps Harvard Law School and even a governorship, were quashed. A social worker suggested that he might become a justice of the peace in a small town or learn to cane chairs. Soon after, Garfunkel traveled up to Buffalo and convinced him to return to the Columbia campus, and that he would help in every way. With a title inspired by his friend, Greenberg has written a memoir, “Hello Darkness, My Old Friend: How Daring Dreams and Unyielding Friendship Turned One Man’s Blindness into an Extraordinary Vision for Life” (Post Hill Press), with an introduction by Garfunkel, foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg and a final word by Margaret Atwood. Greenberg ultimately graduated Phi Beta Kappa (as class president) and went on to doctoral stud-

ies at Harvard and Oxford and a life of great accomplishment, including serving as a White House Fellow under President Lyndon Johnson. He invented and holds a patent for a compressed speech machine that can speed up the reproduction of words from recordings without distorting sound, was named to presidential commissions, built companies, was a pioneer in technology and philanthropy and more. Greenberg now chairs the Board of Governors of The Johns Hopkins University’s Wilmer Eye Institute. The memoir is for the most part focused on his childhood and education and on the early part of his career, and perhaps he will write more about his entrepreneurial success at another time. The strength of this book is in Greenberg’s powerful descriptions of blindness and his determination to choose life — not to be seen or pitied as a blind man. His is a life of resilience, never surrendering to the darkness. Readers will think anew about sight and color, about the way we see and what we see — and appreciate the light. It’s also a story of deep friendship, written with humility and gratitude. In the introduction, Garfunkel writes, “My friend is my gold standard of

As part of the The Folio: A Jewish Week/ UJA Cultural Series, Sanford Greenberg will be in conversation about “Hello Darkness, My Old Friend,” with Sandee Brawarsky, culture editor of The Jewish Week on Thursday, July 9 at 6 p.m. EST.

When asked about whether he harbors anger toward God about his blindness, Greenberg says, “I would be lying if I said no. I have felt anger, but rarely. I believe in what Harry Truman said: ‘I have no time for bitterness.’” M. MORGAN decency. I try to be his cantor, the tallis that embraces him.” In one unforgettable scene, while they were seniors at Columbia, Garfunkel accompanies Greenberg to an appointment in Midtown to see a social worker who specializes in helping blind people. She suggested that he consider a seeing eye dog or a cane and to at least acknowledge that he was blind; he would do none of that. After the meeting, Garfunkel, studying architecture then, remembered an assignment in Midtown, and suggested that Greenberg wait for him. They argued a bit and then Greenberg said he needed to get back and set out on the subway on his own. Stumbling, sometimes falling and getting bloodied, asking people for directions and trying to follow them, bumping into people, stumbling some more, Greenberg made his way through Grand Central Station, feeling his way onto the shuttle train and then transferring to the uptown train. He then trudged up the stairs at the 116th Street station and a man bumped into him, excusing himself — and he realized it was Garfunkel, who had been trailing him the entire time. “I knew you could to it … but I wanted to be sure you knew you could do it,” Garfunkel said. Greenberg recalls that he wanted to kill him — and then he was euphoric. He still feels the satisfaction he felt then, the triumph that he could be independent. “If you can go through the New York City subway system blind, you can accomplish anything,” Greenberg says in a telephone interview from his office in Washington, D.C. “That was the defining episode of my life. That moment was the spark that

Summer Reading Books That Shed Heat and Light

From the woods of Maine to Cape Cod to the coastal waters of South Florida, a trio of summery volumes.

Sandee Brawarsky Culture Editor

rom a summer c a m p l i f e r, “Camp Girls: Fireside Lessons on Friendship, Courage and Loyalty” by Iris Krasnow (Grand Central) is a warm, smart and funny book about why summer camp can matter so much for those fortunate to attend. Krasnow, an author and professor of journalism and gender studies at American University, was about to spend her

17th summer at camp as she wrote the new memoir. She began attending Camp Arawak in the woods of Maine as an 8-year-old and spent the next 10 summers singing around campfires, swimming in an ice-cold lake in a uniform swimsuit, sneaking frogs into counselors’ beds, leading the Blue Team in color war, learning perseverance and forging deep friendships. After a 40-year hiatus, she returned to camp at age 58 to help resurrect the camp literary journal she wrote for as

Her beloved camp served a mostly Jewish population in her days there, although now is more diverse (its brother camp is Kawaga, which is Agawak spelled backwards). She still sobs on the last night of camp. Even at home, the slamming of a screen door still takes her and her friends “back to the most carefree of days, when we were always bound toward the next best place.” “We met as timid youth and grew together from flirty teenagers into a powerful sisterhood that includes some grandmothers,” Krasnow writes of her lifelong camp buddies, all ageless campers to her — she still speaks to at least one of them nearly every day. She also interviews people who went to other camps, who have also held onto their camping days throughout their lives. At camp, they got to be their best selves, away from home and school, all the while gaining strength and independence, learning about loyalty, kindness, courage and community — which makes the thought of shuttered camps this summer so sad.

ife’s moments are measured by upticks in follower counts in Jennifer Weiner’s latest novel, “Big Summer” (Atria). With cameras always ready, photos are taken, edited, cropped, filtered and posted online within seconds.

Weiner is an author whose books, including last year’s “Mrs. Everything,” land on best-seller lists. A contributing opinion writer for the op-ed page of The New York Times, she is known as a storyteller and truth-teller. “Big Summer” is a tale of female friendship, the power of revenge and the possibilities of forgiveness, justice, family and community, with food, nurturing and social media added to the mix. A romance and a mystery, the well-crafted novel is set between New York City and Cape Cod. Along the Massachusetts peninsula, a murder takes place and another that happened years earlier still reverberates. Daphne Berg is the proud, plussized 20-something heroine, with a blog titled “Big Time.” Earlier, she had been someone who hid herself in boxy clothing, counted calories and was desperate to find the thin woman she hoped was inside. After a video of her ranting at someone who insults her for her size goes viral, she finds herself a successful influencer on social media, paid to post photos with her clients’ stylish and sexy clothing, yoga mats and more. Her father, a teacher, and her artist mother are Upper West Siders who do whatever they can to make their daughter happy and self-confident. She is surprised by an invitation to serve as a bridesmaid in the wedding of her high school best friend after they had feuded and lost touch. While Daphne had attended their private school on scholarship, Drue was wealthy, thin, popular, glamorous and cool. Daphne, who saw herself as a “sweaty pretzeled knot of striving,” enjoyed being in the glow of her friend’s stardom. The million-dollar Cape Cod wedding weekend includes antique Persian carpets set out on the beach, bonfires lit by uniformed servers, flowing liquor and signature cocktails, a buffet of the most treif of delicacies and rented mansions on the water for the guests. A rabbi makes an appearance in the aftermath. “Big Summer” is a quick read, a summer escape, with a view toward what an authentic life can look and feel like.

caused me to live a completely different life, without fear, without doubt. For that I am tremendously grateful to my friend.” Also at his side throughout has been Sue, his high school girlfriend and now his wife. His earliest memories, while he was still sighted, are of tough times. His father, a tailor who fled persecution in Poland and then Germany, died when Greenberg was very young. Inscribed in his memory is a blind beggar in their neighborhood, in torn clothing, sunglasses and holding a metal cup, who has been a regular visitor in his dreams. The very first poem he wrote as a child was about the horror of blindness and cancer. A few years after his father’s death, when Greenberg was 10, his mother married her late husband’s brother Carl and their lives improved, as they moved from the city’s poorest section into their own home, and Greenberg attended a better high school, where he was class president and prom king. He began writing the memoir in 1962 as he was starting graduate school at Harvard. He says, “I was trying to make sense of what had happened. I took out my Smith-Corona typewriter and wrote 40 pages. It was as though my unconscious was writing. I put it aside for 40 years, after decades of

introspection and thought.” He began this version about 15 years ago. Greenberg details adventures in life, including a Marshall Scholarship at Oxford, world travel on behalf of presidential commissions, trips with his kids and Garfunkel, basketball practice with Bill Bradley, often circling back to explorations of blindness. He draws connections between blindness and memory and imagination, places where he often dwells. His memory is sharply attuned, and it’s “one of the things that saved me all these decades. I live much of my life inside my own head,” he says. “There is my mind and beyond that the universe. I have the pleasure of roaming anyplace I’d like, dreaming of the wonderful things that might be.” Since he had 19 years of sightedness, he also has visual memories and colors remain vivid in his memory, as does the art he saw in his early years at Columbia. “That treasure of visual images has stayed with me all these years, enabling me to visualize every situation I’m in. It may not be the view a sighted person has.” When asked about the experience of driving through the mountains of Utah, he explains that there are some spaces you can feel, like the phrase between musical notes. “Walking between office buildings, when you come to a clearing, you can feel the space; soon you would come to another building and would feel a change. So I cannot see mountains but I can feel the space on

either side of them.” Still, he admits to difficult moments, when he might lie on the floor and listen to his friend’s recording of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Prayer has always been part of his life, and when asked about feelings of anger toward God, as he expressed when he first got back from the hospital, blinded. “I would be lying if I said no. I have felt anger, but rarely. I believe in what Harry Truman said: ‘I have no time for bitterness.’” Back in 1961, when Greenberg was in the hospital in Detroit, newly blinded, he made a promise to God that he would do everything he could, for the rest of his life — to make sure that no one else would go blind. That thought has stayed with him. In 2012, he and his wife announced an international prize, End Blindness by 2020 — with a cash award of $3 million. The winner will be announced on Dec. 14, 2020. In the announcement of the prize, Garfunkel wrote, “We are searching for nothing less than light.” In final chapters, Greenberg details his own Blindness Balance Sheet, describing debits (“I have not seen the faces of my children”) and assets in separate chapters. He also dreams up a grand party, gathering the living and dead as guests in a ballroom on a houseboat on water “dappled with sunlight,” with music, dancing and celebration. In his toast, he describes himself — as he does when he is not dreaming — as “the luckiest man in the world.” ✿

Summer Reading Back to the Garden

Forty years after his counterculture experiences at the pioneering Havurat Shalom, David Kronfeld’s fictional account is now in print.

Sandee Brawarsky Culture Editor

a v i d K r o n f e l d ’s novel of linked stories, “Tales of the Havurah,” is set in the fictional Havurah Chaim Community in Boston, based on his experiences at Havurat Shalom, the first counter-cultural Jewish community, founded in 1968. Something of a progressive, creative, feminist, modern shteibel, Havurat Shalom inspired, among other things, the national havurah movement, and many of its members went on to become leading figures in the American Jewish community. Kronfeld, who was a member from 1972 to 1977 and lived in the community’s large yellow house for part of that time, explores this world that has rarely, if ever, appeared in fiction. Through Solomon, the novel’s sensitive, quirky narrator with a sense of humor, Kro-

nfeld provides an intimate view of the members’ personal and spiritual lives, mixing their interests in Jewish tradition, love and freedom, Shabbat, Eastern philosophies, marijuana, vegetarian casseroles, rock music and more. Kronfeld wrote “Tales” after completing his doctorate in comparative literature, after he headed off to Jerusalem and Paris, knowing he had a rich topic. While he completed the novel 40 years ago, he is publishing it for the first time this summer. The following conversation is edited for length and clarity. Yo u ’ v e s a i d , “ I di dn ’ t write this book.” What do you mean? I’m 70 years old and already retired from a long career in business writing. But this book was written by a 28-year-old, filled with ambition, a wacky sense of irreverence and all sorts of unrealistic expectations about the future. His concerns back then, and even his writing style, were very different from mine today.

head-space. To borrow (and mangle) a term from Dickens, I feel like the author’s Ghost of Chanukah Future. Or maybe Yom Kippur Future. What drew you to join Havurat Shalom? In the early 70s, I was in graduate school in Providence, R.I., and was desperate to get out of there. Boston was just 50 miles up the highway and still experiencing the tail end of the crazy ’60s, with its youth culture and alternative lifestyles and all the excitement that offered. And, I was friends with Rabbi Arthur Green, who founded Havurat Shalom; I occasionally visited for Shabbat and holidays. The Havurah was filled with interesting people, bursting with just the sort of intellectual and interpersonal excitement I craved. Unlike grad school, which was all in my head, the Havurah was about bringing ideas alive in the actual world. In addition, I was going through ups and downs with my Jewish identity — a mixture of approach and avoidance — and Havurat Shalom seemed the perfect place to explore

The stories work on many levels: How do you incorporate Jewish symb ol i sm a n d c onc ep t s , while also mixing solemnity and humor? Judaism has a long tradition of pshat and drash [biblical interpretation], that something can be true on a literal level and also have other meanings on a symbolic level. It gives a deeper resonance to the text and the two levels play off against each other. And that reflected our consciousness in the Havurah: we lived in our quotidian realities yet were always aware of the overtones of Jewish tradition and symbols lurking in the world around us. I tried to capture that in the book. For instance, in the story “Tisha b’Av at Fenway Park,” a summer jaunt to a baseball game turns into a contemplation on exile and becomes a mystical meditation, even as the game plays out on the ball field. As for mixing solemnity with humor, is there really a conflict? They both coexist in the human heart, and pivoting from one to the other is not always that far a leap. Moreover, at the Havurah, we took our Jewishness seriously, but serious

ndrew Furman has written a Jewish fisherman’s tale. Nathan Pray is a middle-aged Jewish commercial fisherman trawling the coastal waters of South Florida at a time when fish stocks are being depleted and urban life is spilling into the seas. A man of few words when he’s out on the water, he’s principled about angling, reluctant to give up his old ways and use artificial lures, newfangled reels and sophisticated technology. “Jewfish” (Little Curlew Press) is written with humanity for its quirky hero, an eye toward environmental concerns facing South Florida and the rest of the world and a tender humor about the Jews who live there. Pray is trying to make a living doing something he loves while adjusting to his divorce (his wife remarried a more conventional Jewish husband) and trying to stay connected to his son (whose bar mitzvah is approaching). He’s also dealing with his father as he slips into dementia, his divorced mother with her own concerns and a remote connection with a brother who moved to Israel decades earlier. When approached by a Jewish businessman who tries to use their shared heritage to convince Pray to support artificially scented baits and questionable methods, Pray ponders, “It was so hard to know these days how to go about being a Jew in Florida, how to go about being a

doesn’t have to mean solemn. It can incorporate playfulness, too. Importantly, we loved the Jewish stuff — we weren’t making fun of it (well, mostly not), but were having fun with it. It’s one of the aspects of life in the Havurah that was so freeing. Ho w w o ul d yo u de s c r i be t h e legacy of Havurat Shalom in the Jewish world? Havurat Shalom had a profound effect on American Judaism. When I grew up, most synagogues were rather formal places with the rabbi and cantor up on the stage in black robes, while the congregation sat back and watched the show. The Havurah spawned a movement across America to create havurot, some independent and some under the umbrella of synagogues, where people got together for small-group davening, which can be much more powerful and intimate than sitting in a big, formal congregation. It also promoted lay-led services, empowering regular people to reimagine services to express their own feelings and religious needs, which also got them more engaged in thinking about davening and community. The Havurah also ushered in a casualness, where you could wear jeans instead of a jacket and tie. And, hugely, it pioneered egalitarianism. Women assumed equal liturgical roles, read Torah and were counted in the minyan — at a time when the rest of American Jewish communities rarely, if at all, let a woman even come to the Torah for an aliyah. In later years, it also became an early forerunner of places where the Jewish LGBTQ community could feel comfortable, too. ✿

man, or even a person for that matter.” He remembers visiting his grandfather in South Beach, where the old man drove a Pontiac convertible and was later recalled by some of the seniors in the memory care center as a tailor known for his expert pleats. His grandfather taught him to sew and knit, skills he uses with his nets. Pray’s boat is called Pray Fish, and some of the guys in his fishing “bouillabaisse” — pals and competitors in the charter boat business — think that the only Jewish guy in their business should rename it Jew Fish. That’s the name for a large saltwater fish — with fins and

scales — that’s an Atlantic grouper, and has widely been renamed the goliath grouper. Pray feels nature’s power most profoundly on the water, and it’s there that he feels at ease and most human. Even as he’s offered deals that might be lucrative, he prefers fishing that’s closest to nature. Furman lyrically captures the allure of casting into the seas. Furman, a professor of English at Florida Atlantic University, is the author of several books set in Florida including the novel “Goldens Are Here” and the memoir, “Bitten: My Unexpected Love Affair with Florida.” ✿

Summer Reading A Jewish Anti-Racist Reading List for Children of All Ages With the kids home for summer and with the George Floyd protests in the air, books for a time of reckoning.

Lior Zaltzman

Special to The Jewish Week

his moment has many of us reeling. Honestly, for those of you who are, like me, white-presenting Jewish parents, we should consider this a time of reckoning. Are we doing enough to make our homes anti-racist? What about our communal Jewish spaces? The work to dismantle racism goes beyond what we do when people are out in the streets protesting. And the activism we do outside of our home is just as important as the one we are doing inside our homes with our families, and especially with our kids. Our kids perceive race much earlier than we think. So we have to start the work early. Raising your kids with a “colorblind” mentality just doesn’t

work — because we aren’t, and the world we live in most certainly isn’t colorblind. In The New York Times, Dr. Marietta Collins, a clinical psychologist and the co-author of “Something Happened in Our Town: A Child’s Story

About Racial Injustice,” a book for children about a police shooting, suggests that those first conversations about race be positive. As the article explains, “Dr. Collins gave the example of a white child asking why another child had brown skin. A parent can take this opportunity to explain what melanin is, and to talk about how wonderful it is that the world has so many different kinds of people.” The truth is, if you want to raise antiracist children, the work starts with us, the parents. After all, we lead by example. Examine the biases that you were raised with and are still in your ears. This isn’t a finite process — or an easy, or a comfortable one — and we have to learn to live with that discomfort. But there are a lot of great resources out there. As always, it is key to listen to black voices. Educator Brit Hawthorne, who is an expert in anti-racist education, is a wonderful resource, as is Tiffany Jewel, who wrote the great “This Book Is Anti-Racist” — and who actually does 15-minute consults on how to raise anti-racist kids. (Remember, supporting Black artists, writers and businesses is also important at this time!) Certainly, diversifying your children’s book collection — and specifically, your Jewish children’s book collection, is one good step. These shouldn’t all be books about struggles

for equity. Showing happy, diverse Jewish kids celebrating your kids’ favorite holidays is just as important. They show your kids that the world — and specifically the Jewish world — is diverse. And for Jews of color, these books show them that they belong. While this (far from comprehensive!) list shows that there are plenty of examples of such books, it’s still not enough. We need more diverse Jewish books, and we especially need more diverse Jewish books by Jews of color. So it is our hope that this list keeps growing, year after year. Since some of these books are hard to get, we’ve included the Amazon links for some of them — but whenever possible, we encourage you to get these books at black-owned bookstores.

Aaron Finds His Voice

he second half of the Book of Numbers is filled with rebellion and conflict. Moses is attacked by the people, by his family and by his tribe. Parashat Korach fits into this context, describing a major rebellion by several groups questioning the leadership of both Moses and Aaron. Korach is the leader of a group of Levites who claim that they too should be eligible for leadership, as they are from the tribe of Levi just as Moses and Aaron are. In reading this parashah, I could not stop thinking about an earlier seminal Parashat event in the life of Aaron. Korach In the Book of Leviticus we read of the untimely and tragic deaths of Aaron’s sons [Leviticus 10]. In that strange narrative, Aaron’s sons, Nadav and Avihu, bring their firepans filled with incense before God even though they were not asked to do so. As a result, a fire “came out from God” and consumed the two of them, killing them instantly. Aaron’s response to this tragedy is total silence. It was perhaps a silence of acceptance, perhaps a silence of despondency, or perhaps a silence stemming from a lack of understanding. The story of Korach repeats language from that earlier tragic event. We have a similar use of firepans filled with incense, brought forward by Korach’s followers and by Aaron. We have God sending fire to devour the rebels bringing those firepans, and we have Aaron, who is once again left standing following an act of immolation. How did Aaron deal with this experience? Imagine Aaron being asked to carry out the exact event that led to the death of his sons. Imagine the tremendous personal pain he had to be experiencing at that moment. In addition, this was all in the context of a rebellion against him and his brother, a rebellion that included a number of Dr. Ora Horn Prouser is executive vice president and dean of The Academy for Jewish Religion.

He knew that returning them to a liberated concentration camp, newly liberated, would exacerbate their terrible situation. Withers commanded his men: “Keep them. We’re going to take care of them.” For the next year the two teens were carefully hidden from Withers’ Army superiors and became the trucking company’s mascots and helpers. Withers left Germany in 1946, kept their photos and names, but lost touch with the two teens. Withers earned his PhD from the University of Chicago, taught at several universities, traveled around the world for the U.S. Agency for International Development, and then retired. In 2000 Withers’ son took a sabbatical from his State Department job, did extensive research, and reunited his father with one of the two orphans. The other had passed away in 1994.

With a Pattern and a Prayer

ears ago, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I found myself at Michaels with a cart full of yarn. A doorbuster sale inspired me to arrive early with plans to replenish my dwindling stash. The line, as expected, was long. “What are you making?” I asked the gentleman next to me, both out of curiosity and to pass the time. He smiled, shifting around the skeins of wool in the cradle of his arms. “An afFirst Person ghan, a surprise for my wife’s birthday on Sunday.” “Lovely — also ambitious,” I remarked, before wondering aloud how he’d learned to crochet. “From my grandmother,” he told me. By teaching her rambunctious grandson to make things with his hands, she nurtured his ability to remain in one place — and out of trouble — for longer stretches of time. As we moved forward in line, he asked how I learned and what I had Merri Ukraincik of Edison, N.J., is a regular contributor to NJJN. Follow her at merriukraincik.com.

there. I managed only a few rows at a time, though they somehow added up when I wasn’t counting. I was startled to discover it was nearly done. I worked three rows while on hold for an hour with Old Navy customer service late on a Thursday evening. I hoped to complete the afghan the next morning, allowing me to lay down my hook and put away the remaining bits of yarn in time to embrace the best Shabbat has to offer: the chance to disconnect, to rest from the need to run and make and accomplish, and to simply breathe. The last two rows I finished with my Daf Yomi podcast playing in the background on Friday. I paused only once, in wonder, when the discussion on Talmud Shabbat 98 turned to the intricacies of weaving the tapestries that covered the mishkan, tabernacle, in the desert. It was handiwork that ceased on Shabbat, the artisans resting just as God Himself did after He created the world. I’m already writing about the afghan and I haven’t even woven in the loose ends of yarn. I wish I could show it to you. As with childbirth, I’ve already forgotten the painful parts of the process and am focused solely on the baby in my arms. I’m even inspired to make another one. Something easier, more comforting, something with a pattern that’s more like a prayer. ■

continued from page 1 Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL’s CEO, explained that the campaign aims to demonstrate to Facebook that “there are consequences when it doesn’t deal with racism on the platform, when it doesn’t deal with conspiracy theories on the platform, and when it doesn’t deal with anti-Semitism and all forms of hate and Holocaust deniers on the platform.” Speaking on CNBC, Greenblatt said white nationalists have used Facebook “to organize their efforts to disrupt the protests over the last several weeks. “The time has come for the company to say we are not going to allow this kind of hate — which is further dividing our country — to proliferate on their platform,” said Greenblatt. “We want to push Facebook, show Facebook that if they don’t take action the bottom line will suffer.” Facebook isn’t the only institution being pressured to respond to the spread of inflammatory speech. At major newspapers, on college campuses and even within Jewish organizations there are heated debates over limiting what can and can’t be said. Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, has been under fire for the platform’s hands-off approach towards President Trump’s inflammatory Facebook posts, while Twitter has flagged Trump’s tweets as untruthful or for glorifying violence. Zuckerberg insists Facebook is not the “arbiter of truth” and that he stands for free speech. The New York Times faced an internal revolt earlier this month when it published online an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) calling for military troops to quash street protests. Several African-American members of The Times staff objected that the op-ed put them in danger, and the paper later said it contained inaccuracies. The opinion editor resigned in the wake of the pushback. The reactions to the resignation and The Times’ mea culpa ranged from relief that that paper recognized the limits of incendiary speech, to outrage that the editors had allowed an overly sensitive “mob” to muzzle opposing ideas. Arielle Angel, the editor of Jewish Currents, said her progressive magazine “has high thresholds for op-eds and doesn’t run that many because we have seen how they degrade the discourse. We do an analysis that has to be backed up by research and report-

ing. … We are suspicious about the ways op-eds are standing in for news and reporting.” But Ken Stern, director of the Bard Center for the Study of Hate, a program of the Human Rights Project at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., said the discourse benefitted from allowing Cotton’s views to be heard. “There is a strong argument to be made that a U.S. senator who is pushing a policy that reflects what the president is saying should be able to say it,” he said.

‘That Is Not Speech’

tern, author of the new book “The Conflict over the Conflict: The Israel/Palestine Campus Debate,” said he worries “about some of the backlash that seemed to suggest there should be a narrowness in the things The Times publishes. “The idea of knowing what a senator thinks is important and people can then criticize what he said. Ideas do not endanger, especially when people can respond back to them.” Similarly, Thane Rosenbaum, a novelist and law professor at Touro College here, dismissed the complaints by Times’ staffers, saying “they were acting as if someone had burned a cross on their lawn. “The discussion itself was being treated as if it is an act of violence,” he continued. “In the past, the Insurrection Act [invoked by Cotton] has been used to quell disturbances, and now may have been the time to use it. But the idea he could not even raise this question is a problem.” On the other hand, Rosenbaum, author of the new book “Saving Free Speech … From Itself,” said there are limits to the free expression of ideas. He said he would not have debated neo-Nazis marching in Skokie, Ill., in 1977, or have afforded then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a platform to speak at Columbia University in 2007. “He was treated like a diplomat, but if he says he wants to wipe a country [Israel] off the face of the Earth, he does not function as a diplomat,” Rosenbaum said. And he said the white nationalists who converged on Charlottesville, Va., for the 2017 Unite the Right rally — during which they chanted “Jews will not replace us” — should never have received a permit to march. “Their purpose was to incite, inflame, cause fear, make citizens feel vulnerable and feel that their status in society was being eradicated,” Rosenbaum said.

“That is not speech.” Stern, however, said he believes Columbia acted properly by extending the invitation to Ahmadinejad. “It was important for students to hear him. That is the same principle why you would invite a member of the Ku Klux Klan to speak at a college journalism class — to teach the students how to interview him. There are people who have reprehensible views and it is important to hear them firsthand.” The First Amendment, he says, “is there to protect the expression of ideas that we find detestable, especially in difficult times. Academic freedom suggests that we ought to be able to look at ideas holistically. When we put in gatekeepers, we lose the ability to build knowledge when we prohibit certain ideas from even getting into the academy.” That he is why Stern, who, when he was a staffer at the American Jewish Committee, helped draft a “working definition of anti-Semitism,” is wary of it being used as a campus hate speech code. In his book, he describes the heat he took from colleagues and critics for suggesting that limiting what proPalestinian students could say about Israel would backfire on Jewish students. By shutting down the Israel-Palestine debate, pro-Israel groups “will get the reputation for shutting down free speech they don’t like, and professors without tenure will avoid teaching about Israel today,” he told The Jewish Week. Similarly, Stern disagrees with the refusal of Camp Ramah, the Conservative movement’s camping arm, in 2018 to engage with groups that are “not unequivocally pro-Israel,” including the Jewish antioccupation group IfNotNow. “I understand the impulse, but it struck me as not terribly wise when you have kids who identify as Jewish and have certain positions about the conflict,” he said. “You can engage in the camp about what you think about these things rather than saying these campers have the wrong view and we won’t let them in.” Rosenbaum agreed that “speech should not be regulated merely because it insults or offends … but there is a great deal of difference between offense and harm. As long as speech is offered in a respectful, thoughtful, civilized manner, and its intention is to introduce new ideas or challenge old ones – even if unpopular, even if upsetting — then it belongs in the mythical marketplace of ideas.” ■
