ami Frankel, a nurse working at Maimonides Medical Center in the heart of Brooklyn’s charedi Orthodox enclave of Borough Park, saw her professional life overtaken by the coronavirus in a matter of days. “At first, I worked my regular shift and was floated to a corona floor to help out,” said Frankel, who works three to four 12-hour shifts a week. “By my next shift on my regular floor, the floor was converted to a corona floor.”

Even for Frankel — a health care professional and member of the area’s expansive Orthodox Jewish community who had been warning family and friends to “social distance” for weeks — the “sudden, exponential shift” in Covid-19 cases came as a shock. Maimonides serves a diverse area where some 70 languages are spoken. But while data is difficult to come by amid a still-surging pandemic, tight-knit Orthodox communities across New York and New Jersey have been particularly hard hit by the virus, according to local medical professionals and community members. Data from the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene published April 3 showed Borough Park and Crown Heights, home to large charedi Orthodox communities, among the neighborhoods with the highest case counts (those with anywhere between 409 and 1,245 cases) in the city. County investigators in Rockland County said most of their area’s cases are found in Spring Valley and Monsey, also home to large Orthodox Jewish communities. Orthodox newspapers are filled with death notices, including some for leading rabbis of several

IN THE BEGINNING

s large swaths of the world shelter-in-place during the Covid-19 pandemic, stewards of The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam are asking YouTube viewers to imagine if the diarist had been given a video-camera alongside her redcheckered diary. “Anne Frank Video Diary,” which premiered last week on YouTube, includes 15 episodes to be aired through early May. Filmed in selfie-style with quick cuts, each episode is between five and 10 minutes in length. Although the project began more than one year ago, its release on March 30 is connected to current global concerns, said Ronald Leopold, executive director of The Anne Frank House. (The museum is closed through June.) “The way we read Anne’s diary and learn about her history is always being influenced by our own lives,” said Leopold. “This [pandemic] will also affect the way people read the diary.” According to the museum’s website, the YouTubebased selfie format was deployed to engage adolescents on social media. Filmed in Dutch, the series is closed-captioned in five other languages. “We need to reach out to the fourth and fifth generations,” said Leopold, whose museum partnered with Every Media to create the series. The project includes a seven-part curriculum tied to the series for educators. Most scenes in “Video Diary” were filmed on a reconstructed set of the annex hiding place, with some flashback scenes shot on-site in the River Quarter neighborhood where the Frank and van Pels families lived before going into hiding.

The “Anne Frank Video Diary” series zooms in on the last five months of hiding for the eight “Secret Annex” Jews. By early March of 1944, spring had come to Amsterdam with “gorgeous, indescribably beautiful” weather for when Anne sat with Peter van Pels in the attic.

The evening’s mood appears somber. The above scene, captured in an archival photograph, is not New York City in 2020, but Ellis Island in 1908. From the time that the 27.5-acre site in New York Harbor became the country’s primary immigrant inspection station in 1892, until immigration decreased in the early 1920s, Ellis Island was the site each year of Passover seders conducted for Jews who were not cleared to enter the United States. “The federal officials did their best to accommodate various ethnic groups,” said Alan Kraut, distinguished professor of history at American University, specializing in immigration and public health. A combination of causes kept some Jews there temporarily; they slept in dormitories or hospital beds. Some had communicable diseases; others were the victims of red tape. When the immigrants spent the holiday on the island, representatives of local philanthropic Jewish

In the second episode of “Video Diary,” 14-year old Anne is deeply frustrated by the prospect of Peter not finding her likable or interesting. “You can be a bit too vibrant,” Peter says to the feisty teenager. “He’s a stupid boy. Totally useless,” Anne moans to the camera in private. Cast in the role of Anne is 13-year old Luna Cruz Perez, whom Leopold said “uses her camera to invite the viewers to connect with Anne, the girl, in a direct way.” “This is a personal one-on-one approach, just like in Anne’s paper diary,” according to the museum. In keeping with the goal of reaching as many adolescents as possible, Anne was cast closer to her age than is typical, said Leopold. (In the 1959 film “The Diary of Anne Frank,” actress Millie Perkins was 19.) The series will take viewers through the first week of August 1944, when the hiding place was raided by the Nazis. Half a year later, Anne and her sister Margot died of exhaustion and typhus at Bergen-Belsen in Germany. The diarist never reached age 16. Because of copyright laws, “Anne Frank Video Diary” cannot be viewed on YouTube in the United States. The 60 countries with access to the series include Israel, India, China, and many countries in Europe and the Americas. According to Leopold, the series is “timely” and “a wonderful opportunity” for educators tasked with teaching remotely, especially those who will be covering World War II in the weeks ahead — whether online or in their schoolrooms.

“Passover this year will most certainly be different than every other year and will take some learning and adjusting to.

Her goal was to spend more time with her growing family — and she lived to see the marriage of her son and the births of three grandchildren, the youngest just 4 months old. According to her family, she would never allow herself to be defined by her disease, but rather by the loving and devoted family that she assiduously built with Marc. Ronnie lived much longer than the odds gave her. She was near death just three months ago, but her sheer will enabled her to persevere. For example, while receiving hospice care in her home, she

Memory Plays Tricks About Mengele

New biography examines the Auschwitz ‘Angel of Death.’ Jonathan Mark Associate Editor

n the Talmud, when Hillel was challenged to teach the entire Torah “while standing on one foot,” Hillel answered, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” but “Remember” might have been a better answer. “Remember” is found 169 times in the Bible, including “remember Amalek,” about the merciless people mythically linked to everyone from Haman to Hitler. Holocaust memories, in particular, are sacred, but The Edge what if truth is elusive, of Town lost in memory’s fog? Ask Auschwitz survivors about their first day in hell, waiting to be directed to the gas chambers or to camp slavery, and they’ll almost certainly tell you about the Nazi making the selection. “It was Mengele,” survivors remember with a shiver. Dr. Josef Mengele, the most notorious Nazi in the most notorious concentration camp.

And yet, writes David G. Marwell in his chilling and masterful new book, “Mengele: Unmasking the Angel of Death” (W.W. Norton), something doesn’t add up. He cites Geoffrey Hartman, who studied survivor testimony, noticing that “every Auschwitz survivor seems to have gone through a selection by Mengele, as if he manned his post 24-hours a day.” Every Jew’s fate was decided by a Nazi doctor, but was it Mengele? When freight trains, 50 box cars long, were arriving from Hungary in 1944, day and night, unloading 440,000 Jews between April and July, was it always Mengele — as survivors remember — initiating these Jews into Auschwitz? He was hardly the only Nazi doctor to do so, in Auschwitz or elsewhere. Mengele wasn’t the first of the “doctors from Hell,” as one chronicler described them. He didn’t innovate, but he epitomized. Marwell writes, “If Auschwitz is the symbol of the Holocaust, then Mengele … has come to serve

Mengele was less an anomaly than “a product and the promise of the German scientific establishment,” Marwell says. a similar role for the death camp itself. Perhaps for this reason, much of what is known of Mengele’s time in Auschwitz [May 1943 to January 1945] is more trope than truth.” In his book, Marwell seeks to uncover the truth. Director emeritus of The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to The Holocaust, he has done more than most others to unravel the mystery of Mengele, from his early career as a promising pre-war medical researcher to his post-war disappearance into South America, the most notorious Nazi to evade capture or punishment. Marwell worked on the Mengele case for the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations in the 1980s. By then, the Nazi doctor had died by drowning — presumably while suffering a stroke — on Feb. 7, 1979. The exhumed body was only proven to be Mengele’s many years after the fact. Was Mengele evil above and beyond what

ne chief executive will lead two arms of the Conservative movement as part of a new process of collaboration. Rabbi Jacob Blumenthal, the chief executive of the Rabbinical Assembly since April New York 2019, will also serve as chief executive of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism effective July 1. The partnership between the rabbinical group and congregational body follows a decade of reorganization within what was once the largest of the major American Jewish denominations. The RA and the USCJ, which have until now had separate professional leadership, agreed to deepen their partnership after 18 months of meetings

between the two groups’ staff and lay leaders, according to Blumenthal. (Since July 2019, Leslie Lichter has served as interim CEO of the USCJ, succeeding Rabbi Steve Wernick. She will return to her previous position of chief operating officer. There have been no layoffs and no immediate staff changes are planned.) The partnership is intended to “[break] down the walls between all the silos” of the centrist movement, including rabbis, cantors, congregations and teachers, according to Ned Gladstein, the international president of the USCJ. Gladstein said that he has spent the past year “getting our own house in order” to be prepared to tackle new projects. “We are stronger now than we have been in the last 10 years,” he said. “We proposed a balanced budget a year ago and it is likely that we will come in cash positive for the first time in over a decade. The United Synagogue has strengthened

We are now in a position to be a solid partner to the RA and other organizations in the movement. Last December, the two groups held a joint convention. “At our next convention in Toronto, we want to partner with all [Conservative] organizations in North America that hold conventions — the Rabbinical Assembly, Women’s League, Men’s Club, the Cantors Assembly, the North American Association of Synagogue Executives and the Jewish Educators Assembly,” said Gladstein. “We are all in the service of Judaism.”

Gladstein noted that both of the organizations have moved their offices to different floors at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan and that he will have work spaces at both. “We share the same goal of bringing our version of Jewish life to more people in more places and in more ways,” he said. “In the 21st century, the model to get things done is to work as a team and in partnership. It is natural for synagogue leadership and rabbinic leadership to come together as partners to do that work.” Rabbi Blumenthal said there is still much work to be done. “We need to create a staff and programs and structures to get that work done. We have established two joint teams — a joint steering committee with lay people from both organizations to help direct the partnership. And there will be a joint team at the staff level to work dayto-day to achieve our mission, which is to bring our version of Jewish life to more people in more places and in more ways.” That includes reaching out to Jewish college students and 20-somethings who are now underserved, according to Rabbi Debra Newman Kamin, president of the RA.

ity because he was hoping to forge a positive relationship with Starmer in the weeks ahead. In one of Starmer’s campaign videos, a huge Palestinian flag can be seen as the narrator talks about promoting “peace and justice around the world with a human rights based foreign policy.” “I am pretty sure this wasn’t entirely coincidental,” a member of Britain’s Jewish leadership said. The new leader of the opposition — a former director of state prosecutions — places great importance on human rights and the rule of law, and this will likely be reflected in his foreign policy, including in his approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to several analysts.

individuals were unable to get online, Marc later told me, and were excluded by the limitations of Zoom. For that there is also a 2020 solution — the entire service is now on YouTube. The experience was both jarring and inspirational. A shiva without background chatter, the aroma of smoked fish, or hugs and kisses. Yet, in the stark and poignant silent background of Zoom, the message came through loud and clear: Ronnie made us all better human beings in so many ways. Her life mattered and she will be remembered. Rabbi Howard Stecker of Temple Israel, along with family and other clergy, spoke movingly about how Ronnie always put others before herself. “Ronnie brought kavod [honor] to every place that was graced with her person,” Rabbi Stecker said. He shared how Ronnie brought honor to her synagogue and Hadassah community, to Tot Shabbat, to her work and especially to her family. “She imparted wisdom about what it means to love a person with all of your heart and all of your soul.” That love was abundant as her children spoke. “Mom never let cancer define her and never shared her discomfort and true pain,” said her son, Jake. “She fought and fought and fought, determined to beat the disease and get better so she could

I am so grateful for her fight and for every extra year, month and day it gave us together.” Her daughter, Amy, recalled how people often commended her and Jake on their constant physical and emotional presence and involvement in their mother’s care. “We didn’t do it out of obligation,” Amy said. “We did it because that was the challenge we were facing and her

challenge was our challenge. We saw mom do it for her parents in countless ways, big and small. And how she lived the commandment to honor your father and mother and because she deserved the same.” Jake’s wife, Amanda, and Amy’s husband Jon, said that Ronnie treated them as if they were her own children. “Ronnie loved me like a daughter,” said Amanda, “not only because she told me so but because she showed me so.” The coronavirus pandemic exposes our frailties as human beings and cuts to the core of what is most important to us: family, community and love. After this plague passes — which it surely will — may we remember and act upon this lesson. And may we make it a point to especially remember Ronnie and all those who have passed away during this pandemic and were shortchanged by it. What really matters is to share their stories and keep their memories fresh and green forever. As Marc said, “To remember not how she died, but how she lived.” Those memories will endure longer than the type of funeral or shiva that was held. Ronnie Katz was 67 years old. In addition to her husband and children, she leaves three grandchildren: Violet, Mikayla and Miles; brothers Howard (Judy) Zweig and Joseph (Michelle) Zweig, nieces and nephews and countless friends and admirers. May her memory always be for a blessing. ■

We’re doing everything we can so that all can partake in the timeless tradition of Passover during this unprecedented time. There are many ways to help. Donate. Join us on social media. And learn more about virtual volunteer opportunities at ujafedny.org/volunteer/coronavirus. We wish you and your family a chag sameach. And it’s our heartfelt hope that we all stay healthy and safe. ujafedny.org/donate

we know of Auschwitz? “It’s much more satisfying to write him off as some kind of anomaly,” answered Marwell, “presumably motivated by an obsessed, grotesque interest in sadism, when he was much more a product and the promise of the German scientific establishment, and in a way that’s a more frightening picture.” Mengele pursued his experiments, Marwell writes, “not as some renegade propelled solely by evil and bizarre impulses but rather in a manner that his mentors and his peers could judge as meeting the highest standards.” The Holocaust was a two-tiered phenomenon, perpetrated by lowerclass street thugs and upper-class intellectuals and scientists in academia, law, government — and Auschwitz. The intellectuals claimed to understand the “Jewish race” scientifically and medically. At the Wannsee Conference, the pivotal 1942 summit of high-ranking Nazis formulating the Final Solution, eight of the 15 participants had doctorates. At all camps, not just Auschwitz, the “selections” were always assigned to medical doctors, to give the veneer of medical triage to the

decisions of who was too sickly, too old or too needy to be worth saving. Mengele’s experiments on children, little people, twins and Roma were cruel and grotesque — he was quite interested in eyeballs and shipped a crate of them to a lab back in Germany — but such medical experiments were hardly unusual in the camps. Nor was Mengele, who operated almost exclusively in Auschwitz II (Birkenau), the only such doctor in Auschwitz. In Auschwitz I, the main camp, Dr. Carl Clauberg, a research gynecologist, conducted painful or deadly sterilization experiments on hundreds of Jewish women. Clauberg also conducted experiments on women (his test “rabbits”) in the Ravensbruck camp. In Auschwitz III, there were electroshock experiments. Dr. Bruno Weber tested drugs on prisoners. In Dachau, Dr. Hubertus Strughold had prisoners submerged into ice-cold water, or left naked in freezing temperatures, all experiments supposedly justified by military or academic necessity. Mengele was hardly a solo practitioner. He answered to SS Dr. Eduard Wirths, the chief medical authority in Auschwitz, who answered to Dr. Eno Lolling, the chief physician of all concentration camps. Few remember

their names. Marwell points out that Mengele “was almost certainly planning to use his Auschwitz research as the basis for his … post-doctoral thesis.” Mengele, writes Marwell, explained to another Auschwitz doctor, Hans Delmotte, who tried to refuse selection duty, “the necessity of eliminating the Jews.” Mengele compared it to a battlefield doctor, making selections, knowing he can’t treat everyone. Added Mengele, Berlin had already decided “to eradicate the Jews.” They were as good as dead, so why be so bothered? Delmotte resumed his selection duty, and killed himself at the end of the war. Dr. Horst Fischer was another hesitant selection boss, asking why these ragged, powerless Jews had to be killed. Mengele explained that “it was precisely from this reservoir of people that the Jews drew new power and refreshed their blood. Without the poor but supposedly harmless Eastern Jews, the civilized West European Jews would not be capable of survival. Therefore it is necessary to destroy all Jews.” All of this excited Mengele. He “thrived in Auschwitz,” writes Marwell. Mengele never denied what he did or accepted guilt. When confronted by his adult son long after the

Letters of Healing, Letters of Hope. As the world is shaking and a dreadful virus is raging our communities; the question remains - what can we do? In a physical sense, we can take all necessary precautions, maintain proper hygiene and look out for ourselves and others. These precautions have been saving lives. Similarly, we know that our spiritual actions can have an equally potent impact and can change the destined course of this plague. In the year 1752, the town of Mezibush was engulfed by an extremely contagious and fatal disease. The community leaders, feeling helpless, turned to the Baal Shem Tov and asked him to pray on behalf of the community. The Baal Shem Tov recommended that the community join together to write a Sefer Torah. The moment the scribe commenced the writing of the Torah, the community immediately began to feel relief. In an initiative inspired by the directive of the Baal Shem Tov in a time of need, community leaders have begun writing a ‘Miracle Sefer Torah’. Each letter will represent an individual Jew, uniting us in an astounding and heartwarming display of Jewish unity. Over 160,000 Jews from around the world have already joined in this project.

war, Mengele argued that the selections were not his policy, and Auschwitz existed long before he arrived. And yet it was Mengele who lodged in the memories of so many survivors. Marwell cites historian and former Auschwitz inmate Hermann Langbein, who identified “the Mengele effect,” a form of “memory displacement,” in which, says Langbein, “I heard survivors say that Mengele did this or that to them, even though Mengele had not yet arrived in Auschwitz at the time.” Elie Wiesel even wrote of Mengele’s monocle, though Langbein, who worked with Mengele almost daily in the SS infirmary, said Mengele never wore a monocle. Hungarian survivors say Mengele spoke to them in Hungarian, a language he did not speak. Israeli historian Na’ama Shik suggests that survivors’ accounts decades after the fact could be shaped by what “they have read and heard” in the years since. Langbein adds, “If a member of the SS is repeatedly named in public in connection with especially monstrous deeds, it is possible that survivors will project their experiences on to him.” Marwell’s biography places Mengele exactly where he belongs: not as a singular perpetrator of evil,

As we celebrate Passover this year without the physical presence of family and friends at our seder tables, let us recall the strength and courage of our forebears. During the Holocaust, Jews in ghettoes, bunkers and concentration camps did their best to remember the Exodus from Egypt. This year, we are safe and warm in our homes with refrigeration, running water, and modern appliances. Next year, may we be free from this pandemic and once again in the warm embrace of our loved ones. Ziesen Pesach! –Meryl and Stewart Ain

“At a time when the darkness of the Holocaust is being whitewashed, Meryl Ain’s remarkable debut novel illuminates the postwar Jewish American landscape like a truthseeking torch. An emotionally rich and lovingly told saga of survivors, with great sensitivity to what was lost, buried, and resurrected.” ––Thane Rosenbaum, author of The Golems of Gotham, Second Hand Smoke, and Elijah Visible “In The Takeaway Men, Meryl Ain tells a gripping story of lives intertwined and shaped by the horrors of the Holocaust and its aftermath. With sensitivity and compassion she makes her characters come alive and remain in our heads and our hearts long after the novel ends. A powerful read!” –– Francine Klagsbrun, author of Lioness: Golda Meir and the Nation of Israel

M. Schneerson, the late Lubavitcher Rebbe. “It is a point of pride to visit with people who were once students,” he told Chabad.org in 2016, “and have now become teachers and leaders in their own right.” Rabbi Friedman was born in the Belarusian city of Beshenkovitz, then part of the Soviet Union, a descendant of the Boyan chasidic dynasty. He was conscripted into the Soviet Army, and after the war made his way with his family to Germany, France and Israel, where he enrolled in the Chabad yeshiva in Lod. In 1956, he arrived in the United States to study in close proximity to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. He taught Talmud in the Chabad yeshiva in Newark, N.J., before joining the faculty at Oholei Torah. Predeceased by his wife Chana Luba Gurkoe in 2014, he is survived by his daughter, Rochel Friedman.

Steve Steiner the director of public relations for the Orthodox Union for over a decade prior to his retirement several years ago, died Monday, March 30, of illness believed to be complicated by the coronavirus. He was 75. To his colleagues, he was the kind and friendly man who arrived at the office each day wearing his trademark New York Yankees cap and toting a doorstop of a book about American history. “He was always reading these really huge books all the time,” recalled Rabbi Menachem Genack, head of the OU’s kosher division. “He was just the nicest person. I really miss him.” Steiner was born in the Bronx in 1944, and was a 1966 graduate of Columbia University, where he majored in history. He went on to earn a master’s from the university in the same subject. Early in his career, he taught history and Spanish at a high school in Brooklyn and later worked as a sportswriter. Steiner is survived by his wife, Joy Steiner, and two children: Andrea Steiner and David Jason Steiner.

Rabbi Kraft officiated at the wedding in the United States of the well-known Jewish-American wrestler Darren “Tex” Benedict, the British Wrestlers Reunion group recalled in its Facebook post about Kraft. Rabbi Kraft, who had two sons with his wife Susannah, was buried in a small funeral with only a handful of close relatives.

ish Museum said in a statement. “His work on race relations, American and Jewish culture, and his belief in making exhibitions and the written word meaningful and accessible for everyone, inspired, challenged, and encouraged so many in the curatorial profession — and beyond.” Anti-racism formed a backbone for much of Berger’s work, including multiple exhibitions and books. In 2017 he contributed an essay introducing a collection by The New York Times of photographs depicting the complex and sometimes violent history of race in America. Berger grew up poor and Orthodox Jewish on New York City’s Lower East Side, and he lived in a housing project where many of his neighbors were black and Latino. He explored that dynamic — which included a stint at a Jewish day school where he said he was tormented for being poor — in a 1999 memoir, “White Lies,” that was widely acclaimed for the way it challenged white racism in America. Berger is survived by his husband, curator Martin Heiferman. Adam Schlesinger, 52, award-winning songwriter

‘Bridge to Families’

continued from page 1 mally works in the surgical ICU and transplant ICU units, is now working exclusively with Covid-19 patients. He said he is there to provide “calming reassurance for our patients and staff.” There are Jewish chaplains in all of the major hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the New York area. The New York Board of Rabbis is the endorsing body for many of them, according to its executive vice president, Rabbi Joseph Potasnik. Interviews with a half-dozen Jewish chaplains suggest that their presence is appreciated now more than ever because friends and family members of people who have tested positive, or exhibited symptoms of Covid-19 are often not permitted to enter the same facility as the patient. “My whole career is being there with the family and patient during difficult times,” said Rabbi David Keehn, a chaplain at NYU Langone Medical Center. “When you speak with chaplains of all faiths, they will tell you theirs is a ministry of presence — of being there. When you can’t, it’s difficult. “Before the restrictions, families would be there for loved ones,” he

said. “It is just as important for the family as it is for the patient. Now I am encouraging family members to say things to me that they might have said to their loved ones.” Rabbi Keehn, an Orthodox rabbi, said he is able to meet with some families in the hospital lobby and “help them navigate what needs to be done, but 90 percent of my work has been over the phone. It is not the ideal chaplaincy, but we don’t give up the good for the ideal.” Rabbi Jo Hirschmann, director of spiritual care at Mt. Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, agreed that “this is a challenging time for every person on the planet, specifically those in hospitals. And one of the things chaplains can do is make patients feel connected to something beyond themselves.” Rabbi Hirschmann, a Reform rabbi, said the chaplains call patients in their rooms and sometimes enlist the help of nurses “to hold the phone to the patients’ ear while we speak to them. We are a bridge to family members as well, offering them comfort during a really challenging time. What is heartbreaking is the level of fear and loss across the board.

Distancing Rules

continued from page 1 chasidic movements. Deaths from the virus have overwhelmed one Brooklyn Orthodox funeral home, according to the Forward. Monday, in a strongly worded rebuke, Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged municipalities to fine members of the Orthodox community and others for their flouting of social distancing rules. In response to a reporter’s question about reports of heavily attended funerals and weddings in Rockland County and Brooklyn, Cuomo replied at his daily news briefing, “None of us has the right to be reckless in our own behavior, which compounds the problem we’re dealing with. Now is not the time to be playing Frisbee with your friends in the park. It’s just not. Now is not the time to go to a funeral with 200 people.” The governor called on local governments to enforce the fines he has imposed for violating the state’s stay-at-home order. Cuomo said Monday he is doubling the maximum for such fines to $1,000. “Yes, I understand grieving and I understand how the religious services can help with the grieving process, and I understand how it’s hard not to do that, but as a society, the risk is too great,” he said. “Enforce the law. The localities have the legal right and responsibility to enforce the law. My doing the penalty, raising the penalty, is my way of saying, ‘Do it. Just do your job.’” On Sunday, Cuomo said that state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker had spoken with leaders of the chasidic Jewish community in Monsey to reiterate the need for social distancing. Last week Rockland County Executive Ed Day asked Cuomo to impose a containment zone around Rockland’s hardest-hit area, like the one that proved effective in New Rochelle. The spread has also been marked among Israel’s charedi Orthodox, according to a recent report by The New York Times. Though charedim make up only 12 percent of Israel’s population, 40 to 60 percent of coronavirus patients at four major hospitals were from the community, according to the report, citing Israeli media. Large charedi Orthodox communities were particularly vulnerable at the outset of the outbreak, with regular religious services, large families and large gatherings an essential part of their culture. The novel coronavirus also began spreading in the United States shortly before Purim, which began on March 8, at the beginning of widespread calls for school closures, crowd restrictions and stayat-home orders. Packed readings of the Book of Esther and Purim parties were held around the region. It wasn’t until March 18, following a call from the White House, that 15 leading Orthodox rabbis in New York, including prominent chasidic leaders from Williamsburg, Kiryas Joel and Monsey, urged followers to shutter communal and educational institutions and adhere to social distancing protocols. Still, there have been complaints from within and outside the community that religious services and other gatherings have continued unabated. On March 30, nearly 100 attendees gathered near the Canadian border for the funeral of a member of the chasidic enclave of Kiryas Joel, an apparent Covid-19 victim, according to a source who was invited but declined to attend and asked to remain anony-

mous for fear of communal retribution. (Funeral attendees told the source about the large turnout.) On Saturday, March 28, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, dozens of young men gathered in front of 770 Eastern Parkway, the global headquarters of the chasidic sect Chabad Lubavitch, according to a video shot by a passerby and distributed on social media. And on March 29, in the charedi enclave of Lakewood, N.J., nearly 50 people were discovered by police gathering outside a private home for a wedding. Such reports have led to wide criticism of the charedim, especially on social media. But others contend that the community is being unfairly singled out for the transgressions of a few. Bernie Gips, a coordinator for the Hatzolah ambulance service in Borough Park for nearly 46 years, said he is frustrated by the public perception that the charedi Orthodox community is not taking the coronavirus threat seriously.

in Crown Heights who has been particularly vocal about enforcing social distancing said he has “made many enemies” because of his attempts to “shame people into staying home.” (He requested to remain anonymous for fear of further personal and professional retribution.) “In the beginning, people downplayed the threat,” he explained. “Congregating, around holidays and Shabbos, is my community’s way of life. So we got hit harder.” Over the past few weeks, in addition to recovering from Covid-19 himself, the business owner reported losing customers over his vocal efforts to shut down community gatherings. “I made a simple calculation that saving even one life will make my efforts worth it,” he said. Community insiders also say the demands for social distancing clash with other community norms, such as loyalty to religious ritual; a dearth of access to mainstream media; a steadfast belief that those engaged in religious activities will not be harmed; and a deep-rooted skepticism towards edicts imposed by authorities outside the community. “If you’ve grown up to ignore the outside world, why would that change now?” said the source from within the Borough Park community who was invited to attend the large funeral that took place last week. “In the community, we’ve always adhered to our own set of rules.” The source said a “culture of rigidness” motivates the continued gatherings. “It’s not that people are ignorant — this is our mode of survival,” the source said. “Once you start asking questions, there goes all of your direction.” In a strongly worded rebuke on Monday, Gov. Andrew “In tight-knit Orthodox communities, there is a Cuomo urged municipalities to fine members of the healthy dose of skepticism when orders come from Orthodox community and others for their flouting of the ‘authorities’ and not from within,” said Blima social distancing rules.

How You Can Help During the Outbreak

ven while officials in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut saw signs this week that the coronavirus was easing its deadly grip on the region, hospitals and first responders remained overwhelmed. Beyond the medical and public health challenges, millions have been left vulnerable by closures, layoffs and stress. Nonprofits in the Jewish community are facing increased demand while being compelled to cancel crucial fundraising events. Below is just a partial list of ways you can help nonprofits meet clients’ needs. UJA-Federation of New York is helping on multiple fronts, from basic needs, to sustaining Jewish community centers and other hard-hit institutions, to helping Israel through the crisis. The philanthropy has allocated nearly $36 million across the community — and between the healthcare crisis and the economic fallout, needs are only escalating. Currently every gift up to $20,000 to support UJA will be matched dollar for dollar, thanks to philanthropists Jane and Daniel Och. https://www.ujafedny.org/donate/ Jewish Funders Network, the Jewish Federations of North America, the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies and the North American Volunteer Network are teaming up (and raising funds) to purchase equipment and distribute personal protective equipment to healthcare providers and institutions affiliated with the NJHSA and the Association of Jewish Aging Services. https://bit.ly/2RjnSQN New York’s Hebrew Free Loan Society’s lending programs offer up to $10,000 in interest-free borrowing to individuals and small businesses for pandemic-related needs. Rabbi David Rosenn, executive director of the organization, said donations made to the organization are used as capital to make a loan. Once the loan is repaid, the capital is given out as a new loan. https://hfls.org/donate/ The Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty has a Covid-19 emergency crisis fund for seniors, Holocaust survivors and those living near the federal poverty line.

Rich Research Behind ‘Blood Libel’ Book

The research by Prof. Magda Teter is remarkable, as Jerome Chanes describes in his review of her new book, “Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth” (“A Gripping History of an Undying Lie,” April 3). Prof. Teter’s research has led us to the point at which we should confront The Church of England, the Vatican and the Orthodox Catholic Church with research that would have them undo sainthood to Little St. Hugh, William of Norwich and Simon of Trent. I hoped Prof. Teter would have added a concluding chapter to all the research, one that would offer her work as an unassailable challenge to Christianity to disavow the blood libel and reverse the dubious sainthoods. Infallibility is no excuse to continuing the libel against the Jews. Leonard Aconsky Manhattan

Furthermore, in America, a politician cannot win reelection unless the people feel that they are winning or on a path to victory and a better way of life (not whether certain members of the media think so). Instead of taking pot shots at a politician, we should all be praying for the day when vaccine shots will put an end to the surreal quality of the life we are living, and we should pray for our columnists as well as our politicians to have the humility of Moses.

Take a Pass on Covid-19 Politics

Please encourage your columnists to “ pass over” the temptation to use the coronavirus to take cheap shots at politicians, especially if these shots miss the mark. One of your columnists wrote (“Notes from the Coronavirus Underground,” April 3) that the Egyptians who suffered from the Ten Plagues “would not have had to suffer so much if their Pharaoh had given in to Moses. But he was an egotistical ruler who cared more about winning than about his people. (Hmm. Sounds familiar.)” This turns on its head the expression that familiarity breeds contempt. (Here, the writer’s contempt led to her allegation of familiarity.) There is no evidence that the Egyptians suffered any more than Pharaoh. In fact, there is evidence that Pharaoh’s own first born died in the plagues, and that Pharaoh was personally humiliated more than rank-and-file nameless

For the Record

fter last week’s story about the coronavirus and funerary practices (“Pandemic Transforming Jewish Mourning Rituals”) went to press, Rabbi Kenneth Brander asked The Jewish Week to clarify our reporting on his comments, reported in The Times of Israel, about sanctioning cremation in the rare instance of European countries mandating it as a matter of public health. In that interview, Rabbi Brander said that if a government demands cremation of a coronavirus victim and efforts to avoid it are unsuccessful, the

highest levels of compassion should be extended for families of the deceased. “This is to say that while there is no doubt that cremation is 100 percent forbidden and is nothing short of another possible tragic consequence of this terrible crisis, a family need not live in shame if this is the fate that has befallen a loved one,” he noted, while explaining that his movement, Ohr Torah Stone in Israel, has already succeeded in averting several cremations. The online version of the story has been edited to reflect these clarifications.

Grading the President Isn’t ‘Partisanship’ Taking leaders to task is the essence of democracy, especially during a crisis.

nyone who wants to keep the coronavirus fight nonpartisan can’t be enjoying the daily White House briefings on the outbreak. Surrounded by health experts, business leaders and military brass, President Trump holds center stage. There’s a lot of essential information about Covid-19, but Trump also uses the hourplus of free air time to boast about his performance and his television ratings, spar with Democratic governors and criticize his likely opponent in November, Joe Biden. Trump’s campaign, meanwhile, repurposes footage from the president’s briefings to make positive ads painting Trump as a decisive commander in chief. “The purpose of these [briefings] should be to provide factual, important information to people in a crisis — information they can trust,” David Lapan, a former Trump spokesperson at the Department of Homeland Security, told The Atlantic. “That gets diluted when they turn these into mini rallies.” That’s why I disagree with those who say the media should refrain from “politicizing” the battle against the virus. In a recent editorial, The Jewish Week criticized the president for taking “too long to acknowledge the true scope of the outbreak, seeming to be more concerned with how the crisis would reflect on him than how it would impact a population of over 300 million.” The editorial called for a federal response based on “public health, smart policy and reliance on real experts, not on polls or toadies or the ups and downs of the stock market.” A reader took us to task for criticizing the president at a time of national and community crisis. “I humbly request that the paper focus its editorials es-

pecially at this time to what the community is in need of most,” he wrote. “And that is not more ways to blame the president. Rather perhaps, words of possible comfort, guidance, perhaps even some pleasure in hearing what some people in our community are doing for each other, would be of greater value.” Another reader writes this week: “Please encourage your columnists to ‘pass over’ the temptation to use the coronavirus to take cheap shots at politicians.”

Andrew Silow-Carroll

First, I couldn’t agree more that we should provide “words of possible comfort, guidance, perhaps even some pleasure.” In the very same issue in which the editorial appeared, we wrote about how Jews were turning to the Internet to sustain their communities. We’ve been reporting on struggling nonprofits and essential fundraising. I wrote about how our communities “will need to pull together, even at a moment when an unseen pathogen is keeping us apart.” We also launched a daily email update on how the coronavirus is affecting the Jewish community (https:// jewishweek.timesofisrael. com/signup/). But it’s wrong to suspend politics at a time of national crisis, especially when the fate of our communities and its members rest on the decisions being made at all levels of government.

Yes, this Passover is different from all other Passovers. And for all the humor that’s been Between g o i n g the Lines around on the internet — the gift bouquets of toilet paper and observations that the seder may be cancelled by a plague — this may well be the most dangerous and frightening Festival of Freedom in our lives.

ened Israelites, confined to their homes in the dark of night, praying that the Angel of Death will pass over and spare them from tragedy. The parallels to today are all too obvious. Maybe that’s why a sense of humor is, davka, so important in dark times. We Jews have a long history of “laughter through tears” as a sign of resilience, mocking authority and turning a pessimistic reality into a chance to smile. My Jewish Week colleague Steve Lipman wrote a book called “Laughter In Hell” about the jokes that emerged from the Holocaust, many of them characterized by elements of defiance. My favorite is about the two German Jews who, at the height of World War II, come up with a plan to kill Hitler. They somehow manage to get a gun, they painstakingly make three bullets, and they learn that every Tuesday at 2 p.m. the Fuhrer’s motorcade drives by a certain remote spot in the countryside.

A season of plagues, and what might rescue us. So, they camp out nearby in preparation. On the appointed day, as they wait nervously, 2 p.m. comes, but no cars come by. Fifteen minutes later, still no motorcade. A half hour goes by, no sign of Hitler. Finally, one Jew turns to his friend and says, “I hope nothing happened to him.” The humor emerging from the current pandemic is unique to the situation. “Your grandparents were called to war; you are being called to

sit on a couch,” one popular Internet message notes. “You can do this.” A video that’s gone viral has a frantic Israeli mother saying that if the coronavirus doesn’t do her in, putting up with distance learning for her child will. Perhaps as a tribute to the new technology, our Passover songs should include, and give new meaning to, an Israeli kibbutz classic, now to be called, “Zoom Gali Gali.”) The many coronavirus jokes and videos making the rounds seek to distract us from our new reality. Hard to believe that only a few weeks ago we complained about the busy-ness of our lives. Now we are adrift without the structure of a daily routine, and panic can set in when we consider how long this period of limbo may last. Not that long ago, when I was the paper’s editor and publisher, I would wake up early each morning and wonder if I can still make the 6:50 bus to the train station, decide whether I need to wear a tie to work, and worry

over which stories we’d put on the front page that week. Now I wake up and wonder, is this nightmare real? Is today Tuesday or Thursday? Is he still the President? Might this be the day I change my underwear? The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on every part of our lives, serving as a particularly solemn reminder for us boomers. Just a few weeks ago, my wife and I put our names on a list of volunteers from our shul in Riverdale to deliver groceries and other essentials to homebound neighbors. But we soon got a call from our rabbi, who gently explained that that those over 60 would best help by staying home. After we hung up, I told my wife, “If that’s the case, let’s sign up for the other list.” Which we did. We are now among the many beneficiaries of a group of more than 130 volunteers extending themselves in countless ways to sustain and strengthen the community. And there are many similar stories of both

Seeing My Flock More Closely Than Ever

f you glanced at my work calendar, you might not know that the world is turned inside out. As a cantor and rabbi at a Los Angeles synagogue, I am continuing to lead services and counsel congregants. But like so many others, all of my meetings have been commuted to digital platforms. That shift has created new sets of dynamics in each virtual “room.” Some I anticipated, some surprised me. Some dynamic shifts obviously are for the worse. Many of us are unpracticed at the art of teaching, learning and leading by digital means, at least on this global scale. We pride ourselves on how we usually walk into a room or step in front of a crowd with competence and Hillary Chornyis a rabbi and cantor at Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles.

confidence. Sitting at my laptop, I find myself fumbling. Can I post a link to a Sefaria page here or get the right pdf of a siddur posted there? Whose microphone is squeaking, and is it OK for me to ask them to mute themselves for the 17th time? In an age of chaos, the digital channels are often pathways to more chaos when all I want, for just 30 minutes, is at least the pretense of some composure. We’re also disembodied by means of these online channels, and every meeting starts with some manner of attendancetaking that would be wholly unnecessary if we could just eyeball who was in the room. And it’s usually something like, “Who’s showing up as the initials BW, and by the way, do you want to lead Mincha?” There’s an eerie quiet as

of Havdalah as we train our eyes on the candle glowing at the corner of our screen. We even name these experiences as feeling far away: We call our homeschooling adventure “distance learning” because we feel, well, distant. Despite this extended separation, I am experiencing a deeper intimacy in my interactions. When I logged on to our daily minyan for evening worship the first time, a thrill ran through me as face after face lit up the screen — each of us physically directed eastward but every one of us “panim el panim,” face to face in the Toraitic description of closeness. Standing in a typical minyan room, we would be at least “arbah amot,” four cubits apart. In a physical space we would be at least six feet apart to be safe if legally gathered. In my living room, I can crowd

my computer screen with 22 minyan-goers (best attendance in months!) safely, lovingly, intimately. It’s touching. My default setting on Zoom videoconferencing is “active speaker” view, which means that the moment someone speaks in a meeting, their face fills my screen and my attention goes straight to their features. I find myself watching the contours of their head, their microexpressions, their brief brow furrows and smirks. I’m able to listen with a deep connectedness to their full self in a way that’s transformational to my work and interpersonal relationships. There have been moments of matter-of-fact reporting among team members when I’ve watched anxiety and exhaustion flicker through the eyes of a colleague, and I’ve stopped to note that I should reach out.

If there is any meaning to be found in Passover arriving this year at a moment when the coronavirus is predicted to peak in the New York area, maybe it’s to remind us of the essence of the festival. Passover is the most celebrated of all holidays on the Jewish calendar because its message of redemption, freedom and faith is universal and eternal. We mark the dramatic origin and rescue of the Jewish People, lifted from slavery and, with Pharaoh’s army in hot pursuit, miraculously transported through the Red Sea, set on the path to their future and forever homeland. Yes, that path was arduous and took 40 years. In a larger sense, the journey and struggle has never ended. But we as a people have learned patience and faith in tomorrow. We have long been used to waiting for the night sky to give way to the dawn, and we’ve been anticipating the Messiah forever. So on seder night, I chose to end the evening with an amended phrase, praying: “Next year in Jerusalem — or at least with one another.” Chag sameach. n

ing myself — I watch my own face lose focus midway through a pastoral conversation. I self-correct, re-center and give myself over to the conversation. I have more frequent pastoral conversations lately, more time set aside to sit with community members and tease through the tensions of the moment. The natural cascade of cancellations created an initial pileup of work that has now given way to a great pregnant pause in synagogue programming. In sacred partnership with my clergy team, I’m choosing to fill much of that vacuum with the kind of spiritual care giving that lets me slow down and spend substantive time listening to the angst of my congregants. B.C. (that is, “Before Covid-19”), I would have considered an hour of counseling over coffee, just for the sake of checking in, as the kind of generous time I could afford once a week at best. Now it’s a part of the fabric of my work, woven among everything I used to think of as “what cantors do.” I remember an era long before FaceTime existed when someone described to me the eventuality of our being able to hold phones in the palm of our hand and speak to people around the world while looking into their eyes. There is

no way I could have appreciated the dynamism made possible by virtual proximity, how intimacy could grow beyond tone and inflection when coupled with a face-to-face connection. And intimacy is precisely what I’m craving, and what I imagine so many others are craving, at a time where nearly nothing that’s intimate is permissive. All sacred touch is in the category of restriction: the holding of a hand at a hospital bedside; the handshake on Shabbat evening; a hug at shiva; a hand wrapped around a dollar bill for tzedakah; baking challah for a friend. What a blessing that a screen can be an open window leading back to that holy corridor of intimacy. True story: Last week, I was booted off our videoconference in the middle of leading weekday Maariv. This arrangement still feels glitchy, and I’m sure some of what I misattribute as inauthenticity is simply what I miss of my in-person experience. I miss our people, I miss our building and I miss tangible communal practice. I pray that health, normalcy and peace are soon restored to all of us. But for as long as this lasts, I will not take for granted the intimate experience of looking someone in the eyes as I say amen to their Mourner’s Kaddish. n

THE ARTS

A Contrarian’s View of the Uses, and Abuses, of Free Speech

Thane Rosenbaum argues that the First Amendment shouldn’t protect ‘orgies of hate.’ Scott A. Shay Special to The Jewish Week

ost citizens in the United States take the First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech as a source of patriotic pride. We have been taught that all speech is protected. Bad speech is overcome with good speech. No matter how much harm speech inflicts, when the First Amendment is in question, the Supreme Court feels it is its duty to defend all speech. BOOKS T h a n e Rosenbaum, a lawyer, novelist and Distinguished University Professor at Touro College, disagrees. In his informative and highly readable book, “Saving Free Speech ... from Itself” (Fig Tree Scott A. Shay is chairman and cofounder of Signature Bank of New York and is the author of “In Good Faith: Questioning Religion and Atheism” (Post Hill Press, 2018).

Books), he explains how many of our assumptions about freedom of speech and the law are either incorrect as a matter of history or rest on a thin scaffolding of flawed reasoning. At the same time he shows there are many instances where America is shutting down free speech. In Rosenfeld’s view the time has come to save free speech from itself. His book deserves serious consideration in our current political and educational climate. I must admit to being surprised to learn how little I understood the First Amendment. The Founding Fathers implicitly assumed free speech to mean that the government could not suppress any expression against the government, nor could private individuals be coerced into propagating government propaganda. In other words, free speech was initially a buffer against dictatorship and limited to freedom from government control. In 1919, this changed with Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s stirring dissent in Abrams v. United States, which won over the American public by arguing that restraints on private speech were permissible only when speech constituted a “present danger of im-

As Rosenbaum shows, free speech protection for private individuals is now used to violate people’s privacy and dignity. He describes how in 2011, the Supreme Court, in an 8-to-1 decision, overturned a jury verdict against the Westboro Baptist Church. The church set up a protest at the fu-

SABBATH WEEK

On Account of a Coat

hat Moses’ name is not mentioned even once in the Haggadah is one of the fascinating paradoxes in our tradition. But why doesn’t Joseph’s name appear? Not only are the Patriarchs named in the Haggadah, but the entire Exodus story can be traced back to the sale of Joseph by his brothers. Now it’s true that Joseph’s presence does hover over the seder, albeit in a subtle form; we don’t have to go any further than the karpas (the parsley or potato) on the seder plate. There are Sages who link the word karpas to the story of Joseph. In Rashi’s commentary on the verse [Genesis 37:31] in which Joseph’s coat of many colors is mentioned (the K’tonet Passim), Rashi writes that the word passim “denotes a cloak of fine wool,” quoting a verse from Megillat Esther about the rich embroidery of King Ahashverosh’s palace: “There were hangings of white, fine cotton (karpas)” [Esther 1:6]. Note the presence of “pas” in both pasShabbat sim and karpas. Rabbenu Menoah explains Pesach that the karpas at the seder, “recalls for us the coat of many colors,” which angered the brothers who then sold Joseph into Egypt. This idea is also discussed by Rabbi Solomon Kluger in Yeriot Shlomo, his commentary on the Haggadah, saying that the only reason we were in Egypt was the selling of Joseph. Also, after the lamb was sacrificed in the Holy Temple, it was then brought to the place where it was going to be eaten. A Braita discusses how the animal was slung over one’s shoulder in its skin. To this discussion, R. Ilish adds one word, “Tayot,” [Pesachim 65b] which Rashi explains refers to the manner in which Ishmaelite traders transport animals. R. Ilish’s comment (as interpreted by Rashi) steers our mind back to another group of Ishmaelite traders who appeared on the horizon at a crucial moment in Joseph’s life, providing Judah with the opportunity to declare: “What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? Come let us sell him to the Ishmaelites” [Gen. 37:26-27]. Without those Ishmaelites, Joseph never would have ended up in Egypt. Rabbi Shlomo Riskin is chancellor of Ohr Torah Stone and the chief rabbi of Efrat.

Rosenbaum’s exploration of the harm caused by current applications of free speech will resonate with Jewish readers. His arguments about human dignity and free speech echo within the biblical notion of “the image of God.” Likewise he shows how Talmudic dictates that compare slander to physical harm and even death are backed up by modern scientific research that demonstrates that false speech can cause physical harm. In an era in which American society has become radically polarized, Rosenbaum sets out to bridge the liberal-conservative divide, at least when it comes to permitted speech. He asks us to address some of our core ideas about American ideals. Not a bad thing to do when the government is ordering us to stay “sheltered in place” for the good of all Americans. ■

It isn’t realistic to expect the reversal of the policy changes Corbyn brought in of settlement boycotts and an arms embargo His early and full-throated declaration of war against anti-Semitism does not mean that he will invest the same energies in reversing some of the Israelcritical policies his party recently adopted, however. “Whilst all this is likely to be cause for comfort for those of us who care about anti-Semitism, those of us who support Israel shouldn’t expect dramatic shifts in party policy, and a return to the heyday of the Labour leadership’s warmth towards Israel shown by Blair and Brown,” Luke Akehurst, a former member of Labour’s National Executive Committee, wrote in Fathom magazine. “It isn’t realistic to expect the reversal of the policy changes Corbyn brought in of settlement boycotts and an arms embargo, because Starmer will have other policy priorities; [he] won’t be looking for confrontation on foreign policy at party conferences as he will want to emphasize unity and carry the left-wing of his own support base with him; and [he] won’t have the votes to win any fights on these issues,” he went on. “But we can expect a return to some kind of normality in terms of Labour’s relationship with Israel, and with the fragmented remains of Labour’s sister parties there.” Several people interviewed for this article said it was likely that Starmer — who said he considers himself a Zionist, in the sense that he “believes in the state of Israel” — would make the Jewish state one of his first foreign destinations, once the coronavirus-related travel restrictions are lifted. “He wants to visit Yad Vashem and meet with center-left politicians in Israel,” one source said. While Israeli politicians, including Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Labor chief Amir Peretz, as well British friends of the Jewish state, welcomed Starmer’s election, some voiced concern over his pick for foreign secretary, Lisa Nandy. Nandy, who last year also called herself Zionist because she backs the Jewish people’s “right to national self-determination,” is a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause. “She could be more than problematic for Israel,” one source said. In December 2018, upon assuming the chairmanship of Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East, Nandy vowed to oppose the “blockade of Gaza and the illegal occupation” of Palestine, criticized British arm sales to Israel and appeared to endorse the so-called “right of return” for Palestinian refugees who left Israel after its creation in 1948. Earlier this year, she reaffirmed these and other anti-Israel positions, publicly backing a policy statement issued by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Her association with this organization, which critics consider extremely unfair in its criticism of Israel, was criticized by supporters of the Jewish state, including within her own party, who argued that a Palestinian right of return would mean the end of the Jewish state and is thus incompatible with the two-state solution. Hesitant to wade into the Mideast controversy himself, Starmer may want his foreign policy chief to take the lead on this issue, according to a prominent British Jew who has long known the Labour chief. “Starmer will always take a balanced and appropriate view for a person in his position,” he said. “If he’ll be prime minister in a few years, he would not recognize a Palestinian state. But he may have a foreign secretary who does.” ■

Pandemic Victim is Erased from Family History

ne hundred years ago, my grandmother Ida was a victim of the Spanish flu, one among the many millions who lost their lives worldwide in that crushing pandemic. She was 31, and her fourth child, my father, was 2 years old. But we — I, my siblings and the other grandchildren — did not know that key piece First Person of family history. To us, our loved and loving grandmother was Grandma Sophie, who lived just minutes away from my family in Passaic. The first hint of a missing branch to my family tree may have been a comment someone made to me when I was about 12. I was at a friend’s house, and a woman was there visiting my friend’s mother. When I was introduced to her in the standard way — by noting my parentage (it seems all Jewish adults in Passaic knew each other, or of each other, in those days) — the woman said, “Oh, you’re Bernie Meth’s daughter; I knew your grandmother.” You mean, I replied, you know my grandmother. Grandma Sophie was alive and well, a widow since the death of my grandfather a dozen years earlier, right before I was born. There were other clues. One year, when I was in my late teens, we were planning a 75th birthday party for Grandma. It suddenly occurred to me to do the math: I knew my father was then 54 — and he had three older siblings!

‘NEW YORK PARADOX’ The new album by Omer Avital’s quintet Qantar — five expat Israelis who regularly get together to share Middle Easter-inflected jazz music and Turkish coffee — was supposed to launch April 14

at Brooklyn’s Wilson Live. But “New York Paradox” is newly available for listening and purchasing at https://smarturl.it/ QantarNYParadox. Avital, a bassist and composer, is “one of the most exciting musicians to come onto the jazz scene in the last 20 years,” according to DownBeat Magazine, and The New Yorker calls him “one of the key figures in the new wave of jazz.”

reth Israel section, dwarfed the others around it. Beyond the standard inscription giving dates of birth and death, it included a heartrending outpouring of grief and a paean to “My Beloved Wife and Our Dear Mother” — “Day and night, tears pour from our eyes,” it reads, with tributes to an “eshes chayil” who is a “crown to her husband,” a “beautiful adornment to her children,” whose “soul shall rest in peace.” And there was more. During another visit, I saw something I hadn’t noticed before: The first letter of each line was larger than the others; read top to bottom, it was an acrostic spelling out her name: Yehudit bat Reuven. But in what appeared to be an egregious symbol of her fate, her name on the stone is misspelled: “Maeth” instead of “Meth.” I once asked her son, Uncle Morty, if that perhaps was an alternative spelling in those years. No; as he understood it, the monument engraver just made a mistake. There are at least nine others with that name buried in that cemetery; hers is the only grave with that spelling. Now that I am a grandmother I mourn even more keenly the denial of the “dor l’dor” ties that in our tradition were due that beloved young wife and mother. Even without those bonds of memory, I have made some attempt at mending the broken chain. I am committed to telling my grandchildren the rich, including the painful, stories of our family. When I attend our synagogue’s Rosh Hodesh gatherings, I rememberall my grandmothers in the prayer we recite to honor the women who came before us. I have assumed the privilege of lighting a candle to mark Grandma Ida’s yahrtzeit. And when my father passed away, I broke with custom and had inscribed on his gravestone not just his father’s name, but the names of both his mothers. ■
