ON THE COVER The Edmund Pettus Bridge is a holy site in the history of civil rights. African-American leaders, including U.S. Representative John Lewis, confronted the forces of the state on this bridge and, after violent confrontation initiated by state troopers, used it as the starting point for the March on Selma. It’s part of our shared tradition of stubborn resistance. Please join us for the Tulsa March on January 21.

CHALLAH BAKING

One of the essential smells of Shabbat is that of warm bread baking in the oven. Join us in the Dairy Kitchen at 5:45 p.m. to take the first steps of challah making together. By the time you’re done, you’ll have dough enough for two challahs on Friday afternoon. Please call Valerie at the Synagogue at (918) 583-7121 to reserve your space at the kneading table. Space is limited, so please call early. No cost to anyone.

The Shabbat table comes alive when we share good food and good conversation. In honor of Tu Be-Shevat we will welcome Chef Justin Thompson to a Shabbat experience. The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a vegetarian Shabbat meal influenced by recipes found in Chef Justin’s newly released cookbook. At 7:00 p.m., Chef Justin will join Rabbi Kaiman for a conversation about ecology, food systems, and our relationship with the natural world. Meal reservations can be made online or by calling our office. See our featured article on page 9 for more information.

DAVE EGGERS AT B’NAI EMUNAH

Tickets are now on sale for an evening of conversation and coffee with Dave Eggers and special guest, Mokhtar Alkkanshali. In The Monk of Mokha, Dave Eggers, the best-selling author of The Circle and What Is the What, shares a heart-pounding true story that weaves together the history of coffee, the struggles of everyday Yemenis living through civil war and the courageous journey of Mokhtar Alkkanshali, a young man—a Muslim and a U.S. citizen—following the most American of dreams. Visit MagicCityBooks.com to purchase your ticket which includes a copy of the book. The program begins at 7:00 p.m.

Our monthly, kid-friendly Shabbat experience begins with a delicious dinner. We then move into the sounds and movements of a joyous Friday night celebration.

FROM RABBI MARC B. FITZERMAN GREATEST HITS FROM THE TALMUD

MLK PARADE

We had a great turnout of students for the first round and I hope that eight more will enjoy the second. The dates are the first three Wednesdays in February, between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. in the afternoon. We’ll take a look at excerpts from a literature that continues to shape Jewish life today.

This is a quick reminder that we will be out in the streets in January for the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade. Please reserve the morning of Monday, January 21, and park in the lot of the old Spaghetti Warehouse. See articles by Rabbi Kaiman and Dr. Harvey Blumenthal eIsewhere in this issue. In keeping with our long-time practice, we’ll convene there at 10:30 a.m. Call Valerie at (918) 583-7121 to let us know you’re coming, and we’ll have a complimentary T-shirt ready for you!

If you’d like to participate, please call Valerie Henderson at (918) 583-7121 and she will sign you up. If we go over eight, we’ll put later callers on the list for March.

NET GAIN

MAZAL TOVS

Martin Frost, the clarinetist and conductor, is about as Swedish as they come. I’ve never seen him perform in person, but I’ve watched a few clips and seen his photograph in the paper. If you were drawing a Swede, you’d want Frost as your model: whiteblond hair, lantern jaw, and about eight feet tall from head to toe. I don’t really know what all Swedish people look like, but he looks the part, at least to me.

KUDOS Congratulations to George Kaiser on being named the lead Tulsan of the Year in the Tulsa World’s annual line-up. George was lauded for the Gathering Place and projects in early childhood education, cultural renaissance, community medicine, alternatives to incarceration, and downtown development. All have made an enormous difference in the health and well-being of our city.

The weird thing is that he plays klezmer beautifully. His signature move is a kind of dancing performance style. In one of his other videos, he impersonates a peacock strutting and preening while playing his instrument. The effect is enhanced by a golden birdmask, which he takes on and off as the piece seems to dictate.

We hope it please you to know that the Altamont Bakery sold over 10,000 cookies during the 2018 holiday season. This number reflects our reputation for excellence and community commitment to this project. Please consider giving Altamont cookies as gifts all year long. We wrap them beautifully with explanatory material about the bakery, and they are available in two sizes and four flavors. We can also prepare trays for public gatherings at offices and private parties. Please patronize the Altamont Bakery in 2019.

The klezmer pieces have a different look, but the dancing musicality is still a part of it. There are a few tosses of his shoulders that look sterotypically Yid-ish, but most of his gestures seem idiosyncratically his own. Yet the music itself is umistakably klezmer, some of it written by his brother, Goran. How do these people come to klezmer? I have to believe it’s the power of the music itself. If you’re a clarinetist, you’d want to master this music, in all of its rollicking, rapid-fire intensity. One school of klezmer relies heavily on clarinet, as the lead sound that sings out of the musical ensemble.

SUSTAINABILITY

What gave me pause was the obvious “mis-alignment” between the cultural background of the performer and the music performed. At different points along the way, I had to fight against the feeling that Frost was guiltiy of the “sin” of appropriation. Klezmer clarinet belongs to us. What right did this northern European virtuoso have to the music of the Jewish celebration and sorrow?

During January and February, please drop off your gift of canned or non-perishable food items at the Front Desk of the Synagogue and pick up your re-usable grocery bag in

As it turns out, I’m not convinced that this is a sin. At the end of the performance, it felt more like a salute, an homage to a challenging and expressive musical literature. As a person with a a strong taste for cultural and political and correctness, I felt challenged to re-think some familiar categories. Beyond the world of borders and boundaries lay the luscious possibilities of sharing and cross fertilizations. Ultimately, that’s the space that feels most promising to me.

BAT MITZVAH

BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE

MIA WEINSTEIN

You might say that the historical experiences of the global Jewish community are engrained in our DNA. Our collective memory (and even historical trauma from our families who fled their countries to make a new life here for many of us) is embedded deeply in our view of the world. On Passover, we are continually reminded that we were slaves in Egypt. Each year, we repeat this narrative and tuck it away deeper into our psyches. Not just our grandparents or their parents, but we ourselves feel what it’s like to be enslaved, to be accused, to be persecuted, or to leave our homes to avoid death. It is with our history on our shoulders that we look around our community to support others with experiences that mirror ours.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming bat mitzvah of Mia Weinstein, daughter of Elizabeth and Jeffrey Weinstein, sister of Zoe Weinstein. Mia is the granddaughter of Diane Karp and the late Charles Karp; Rosalie Childs; and Paul Weinstein. Mia's preparations have been led by Debbye Zanerhaft and Morah Sara Levitt. Mia is currently a seventh-grade student at Holland Hall, where she plays field hockey. She also enjoys power tumbling and competes for Oklahoma Extreme Tumbling. The Havdalah celebration of Mia's bat mitzvah will take place on the evening of February 23, 2019, at 5:45 p.m.

When I began at B’nai Emunah I was tasked with getting a program off the ground to help refugees acclimate to life in Tulsa and the United States. I had no idea how much would change for refugees and others trying to find a better life in our country or how much I would learn about this topic. I am proud that with the support of the Sharna and Irvin Frank Foundation, we have now welcomed over 40 refugees into our programs during the last two years. What we have learned from them about their journeys, their experience in Tulsa so far, and their needs is not very different from that of our own ancestors. I have been plugged in to several cohorts of professionals in Tulsa working with the refugee and immigrant population, and there is work still to be done. From expensive (and English language only) driver’s education courses, to accessible English learning opportunities and job training, the need is still great. As the number of refugees allowed entry into our country continues to decline, our commitment to those who have already landed here grows. At the Synagogue, we will continue to offer Citizenship Preparation Courses this spring for refugees. We have reached out to several of the organizations in Tulsa to help us recruit folks in need of our services. Additionally, we are committed to being eyes and ears for our friends at Catholic Charities who are looking for donations of housewares, furniture, and even cars to better welcome and settle new arrivals to Tulsa. As our spring class ramps up, we are excited to welcome new students to our course and their children in our childcare program.

ADULT LEARNING Rabbi Fitzerman’s new class, Greatest Hits from the Babylonian Talmud, is now enrolling eight new students

If you are interested in volunteering, have goods to donate to our friends at Catholic Charities, or would like to be more aware of the happenings in the refugee community in Tulsa, please feel free to be in touch with me.

FROM RABBI KAIMAN

UPCOMING (CONCLUDED)

SAVE THE DATE FOR SISTERHOOD SHABBAT

PURSUING JUSTICE

Sisterhood is proud to lead the Shabbat service on Saturday morning, April 6, as part of the annual Sisterhood Shabbat program.

Our tradition is full of strange laws and traditions. One such set of laws has to do with a murder victim who is found outside the boundaries of any particular town or city. The laws in the Torah stipulate that the elders of the town closest to the corpse must take responsibility for it. They must bury it, sacrifice a heifer, and then say out loud this odd statement: “‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it done.’ (Deuteronomy 21:8)”

Sisterhood members Jennifer Joels, Jackie Lasky, and Hillary Roubein are busy planning the Shabbat service and Kiddush. For further information, contact Jennifer Joels at JJoels@cox.net or Jackie Lasky by phone or text message at (918) 607-6445. Please place this special Shabbat service on your calendar.

The statement is odd because why would we have suspected them in the first place? Do the elders really have to explicitly declare that they did not commit this crime? A rabbinic comment in the Mishnah provides an explanation by saying that the elders’ statement is an acceptance of broad responsibility. While they may not have committed the crime themselves, they acknowledge that a person who commits a crime comes from a context. And we all play a role in shaping the context of our community. So the town elders accept responsibility for how they contributed to a community that could produce a murderer. In this statement, they are saying something incredibly important. We all play a role in the injustices of our society. Whether we commit explicit misdeeds ourselves, or whether we simply create the context by which others commit misdeeds, leaders share a communal responsibility for society.

HOMELESS CARE KITS Jolene Sanditen has announced that all 200 Care Kits have been completed. Jolene and Sisterhood want to thank all those who donated items for these kits. Jolene also thanks the Shul School students who made beautiful cards enclosed with the kits. Recipients of the kits have expressed their gratitude for the care which B’nai Emunah has shown to them.

I say all of this because we know we live in an imperfect world. And it can be tempting to look on from the outside and feel that we are innocent bystanders. It is easy, sometimes too easy, to bury our heads and concern ourselves only with what is in front of us. But if we desire to be leaders, we must claim responsibility for the injustices in this world. Sometimes this can feel like too much. So we must look for outlets to express ourselves and demonstrate our higher values. One good way to make a statement about our communal values this year is to march in the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade. Once again, the Synagogue is serving as a sponsor of this communal effort, and we hope that many members of the congregation will join us to walk as a united delegation. It will likely be cold. But we will be warmed by coats, mittens, and the knowledge that we are making an important statement about communal responsibility. See you on January 21.

Will (left) and Sam Sanditen pack Sisterhood Care Kits.

BOOK CLUB February’s Book Club will be a discussion of Waking Lions by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen, a remarkable young Israeli author. The discussion will be facilitated by Jennifer Airey and be held in the Synagogue library on Sunday, February 3, at 1:00 p.m. Waking Lions is a gripping, suspenseful literary thriller, used as a vehicle to explore big moral issues. After one night’s deadly mistake, a man will go to any lengths to save his family and his reputation. Neurosurgeon Eitan Green had, up until that point, a perfect life. However speeding along the deserted moonlit road after an exhausting hospital shift, Eitan hits someone with his car. Seeing

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY

SHABBAT ON THE TRAIL

Our thanks to Harvey Blumenthal, M.D., for this thoughtful article on American history and the meaning of Dr. King’s life. Please remember that the march will take place this year on January 21; we hope to see you downtown.

In the spirt of of Tu Be-Shevat, the Synagogue’s millennials will celebrate Shabbat by hiking on Turkey Mountain. The hike will include several opportunities for reflection, prayer, connection to the earth, celebration of Shabbat, and mindful concentration. Meet us on Saturday, January 26, at 11:30 a.m. in the Turkey Mountain parking lot. RSVP to Sara Levitt by January 23.

On January 21, all America will celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We honor the memory of Dr. King on the third Monday of January each year, not only because he was the chief spokesman for the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and ‘60s, but because he was a courageous humanitarian and inspirational leader of non-violent civil disobedience to attain freedom and justice.

SISTERHOOD (continued from the previous page)

Dr. King is probably best remembered for his I Have a Dream speech, which he delivered on August 28, 1963, while standing just below the top steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

that the man is beyond help, he flees the scene. When the victim’s widow knocks at his door the next day, holding his wallet and divulging that she knows what happened, Eitan discovers that her price for silence is not money.

That day in August 1963, I was a second-year medical student in Columbia, Missouri, deeply absorbed in my studies, and I have no memory of even being aware of this event, which was part of the “March on Washington for Freedom.”

The book is available in paperback and is one which you cannot miss reading. Save the date and join the discussion.

IRON GATE BREAKFAST CLUB

Fifty years later, one Friday evening in May 2013, our son, Bill, with two of his kids, drove us into Washington from their home in nearby Rockville, Maryland to visit the Lincoln Memorial. It was 7:30, cloudy and extremely windy, producing a cold and blustery wind-chilled evening. I was surprised at the large number of visitors at dusk. The number of young people who braved the cold in T-shirts outnumbered the oldsters, a surprising number in wheelchairs, bundled up in jackets. The crowd seemed evenly divided culturally, and I mused, “Americans all.”

Once again, Sisterhood reminds everyone (and that means women, men and children) that the last Sunday of each month volunteers can help to serve breakfast to Iron Gate clients. Anyone age 13 or older is welcome to join this project by contacting Dr. Sarah-Anne Schumann at her email, Hennschu@gmail.com. Breakfast runs from 8:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

The stairs leading up to the Memorial were crammed with visitors.

ADULT INSTITUTE WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY, JANUARY 28. THERE IS STILL TIME TO REGISTER

Frequent iPhone camera flashes caught photos of youngsters and oldsters standing in front of Lincoln’s statue. Engraved on the two opposite Indiana limestone walls flanking Lincoln are his two most famous speeches, The Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural Address. I began to read one of these to the grandkids, but they were disinterested and I quickly gave it up.

SO PLEASE CALL MINDY PRESCOTT AT (918) 495-1111. ALL CLASSES WILL TAKE PLACE AT CONGREGATION B'NAI EMUNAH.

I asked seven-year old Haylie why Abraham Lincoln is famous, and she replied, “Because he freed the slaves.” I smiled and complimented her, but I silently lamented that she knew nothing about how he saved the Union. Some his-

FEATURED EVENT

(continued from previous page)

CHEF JUSTIN THOMPSON AT OUR TABLE

torians have written that many Northern men and boys fought and died, or were maimed for life, more to preserve our country from being shattered by the seceding states than to abolish slavery. Hey, she’s only seven, I thought, and the truth about our history—any history, I guess—can be complex.

More than just a person who prepares food for consumption, the modern day chef is a storyteller and philosopher. Chefs think critically about the natural world and use their talents to create moments of beauty. The voice of the chef is an essential reference for interpretation and understanding. Each year, our Jewish calendar asks us to turn our attention to the nuances of the natural world through the holiday of Tu Be-Shevat. This year, the Synagogue will welcome noted chef and restaurateur Justin Thompson to our Shabbat table on Friday, January 18.

As we left the Lincoln Memorial, Bill called to my attention the concrete block on the landing, eighteen steps below Lincoln’s statue, engraved with a few words indicating that this marked the exact spot where Dr. King stood when he delivered his own historic speech, now just as famous and just as important as The Gettysburg Address. Some traditionalists might dispute this, but we are not a nation frozen in time or in thought, and as President Lincoln, himself, said, “As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.” If only our current Supreme Court were mindful of Lincoln’s words. Standing exactly where Dr. King stood that August day in 1963, and gazing down the National Mall, I imagined how it looked that summer day with thousands of people along both sides of the reflecting pool as far as the eye could see, all the way to the Washington Monument, nearly a mile away. As far as the eye could see. In 1963, who could peer into the future, into 2019, and be proud how far we have come, and at once chagrined at how far we still must go?

MANY THANKS NEW ENDOWMENT FUND

Chef Justin is the proprietor chef of the Justin Thompson Restaurant Group, co-owner of the Farrell Family Bakery, and author of Trial & Error: Recipes and Lessons Learned by a Chef & Restaurateur. Juniper, PRHYME, and Tavolo are three of the restaurants at the heart of his work. At 6:00 p.m., Chef Justin will serve a vegetarian Shabbat meal featuring recipes that can be found in his new cookbook. Meal reservations can be made by calling the Synagogue Office or registering online. Cost is $18 per person.

Thanks to an important gift from Drs. Linda and Richard Young, the Synagogue is pleased to announce the creation of a new fund designed to encourage educational experiences for young students in the visual arts. Our hope is to bring artist-educators to the Synagogue to move us toward projects of greater complexity and interest. The fund will be used in programming beginning with the winter of 2019. To be known as the David and Sophie Rubin Fund for Youth Visual Arts, the Young’s gift will have an immediate impact on programming at the Synagogue. Please pay close attention to the March edition of the Messenger, where you will see mention of a cooperative venture between the Synagogue and the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta.

After dinner, at 7:00 p.m, Chef Justin will join Rabbi Kaiman for a conversation about sustainability, food systems, and the connections between food and our relationship with the natural world. Signed copies of Chef Justin’s book will be available for purchase when you make your meal reservations.

Are you thinking what we’re thinking? Yes! It will be our first ever all-puppet performance of the Megillah (Book of Esther). Thanks to Linda and Richard for their generous gift to the Synagogue.
