                                   July 2021 - Tammuz/Av 5781

After careful consideration and input from our COVID Task Force and Board of Trustees,
we are happy to report that our Executive Board has voted to remove some of the
protocols we have had in place since reopening earlier this spring. Specifically:

IN-PERSON SERVICES:
For those who are fully vaccinated, masks and social distancing are not required. For
anyone (including children) not fully vaccinated, masks are still required, and social
distancing is expected. We are not asking for proof of vaccination, and trust that the
overwhelming majority of the people who enter our building are either already
vaccinated or will do the right thing and keep their masks on.

TEMPLE OFFICE:
 We are happy to once again be open to conduct temple business in person.
 In keeping with the face mask requirements for services, those who are not fully
  vaccinated must wear a mask in the office.
 Please be considerate of others and try to keep your visits brief.
 Personal meetings with Rabbi, Pam, and Joanne must be scheduled in advance by
  calling the office.
 As we share an entrance with the Early Learning Center, as mandated by the State,
  masks are mandatory when entering the building regardless of vaccination status.

We can’t mask how happy we are to welcome everyone back!!

ON CONFRONTING ANTI-SEMITISM
                    The custom of wearing a kipah every day, all day, in public, is a relatively recent one. While a kipa is a
                    sign of one’s commitment to Judaism, to God, as well as a sign of humility, it is also a symbol of Jewish
                    pride – an outward marker that the individual stands with the Jewish people. Throughout history, the
                    kipa was worn during study, worship, and moments (such as a meal) when a blessing was to be
                    recited. But it was only post 1967, in American history, that observant Jews started wearing a kipa
                    more regularly, in part as a symbol of pride in being Jewish after Israel’s victory in the Six Day War.
                    Today, in this moment in time, there are places in the world where wearing a kipa, or a Jewish star, or
                    an outward symbol of our Judaism can feel dangerous. And I am not just speaking of certain countries
                    in Europe or the Middle East; I am talking about right here, in the United States of America when
                    during the past few months, we Jews have been reminded that anti-Semitism is indeed alive and well
                    in these United States. Masked in the guise of “anti-Zionism,” intolerant and violent individuals across
this country have attacked Jews in broad daylight, in Florida, Illinois, Arizona, Manhattan and Los Angeles – to name but a
few incidents. Members of both political parties have made statements that are at best ignorant, and at worst anti-Semetic.
Indeed, the Anti-Defamation League has recorded an increase in anti-Semetic incidents during the first week of fighting in
May between Israel and Hamas, and as I write these very words, a Day of Action Against anti-Semitism is being organized
by major Jewish organizations in the United States – thankfully attended by policymakers and congressional leaders from
both parties, as well as celebrities, community leaders and speakers from around the country.
And so we find ourselves understanding the sad reality that even in a country where we have experienced unprecedented
levels of acceptance, even in a country where the Second Gentleman, Douglas Emhoff, had a bar mitzvah and went to
Jewish summer camp, “the Jew” is targeted by ignorant and hateful people who hate Jews for no rational reason
whatsoever. This recent spike in anti-Semetic incidents is not about Israel per-se. Rational people who care about this issue
can argue about the Israeli-Palestinian situation and have been doing so for decades. No. This recent spate of attacks is
something else. Quite plainly, we know this as the disease that is called anti-Semitism, but could more directly be called
“Jew hatred.” We have experienced this disease for as long as we have been a people. It is despairing, it is frightening, it is
maddening, and it leaves us throwing up our hands wondering just exactly what to do, just exactly how to respond.
Two years ago, on Rosh Hashanah, I gave a sermon about anti-Semitism. In it, I suggested that we might do a few things
to combat this most ancient form of intolerance. First, we must remember to call out these incidents from wherever they
come, full stop, instead of falling into the political tribalism that seeks to somehow always blame “the other side.” Calling
out anti-Semitism whenever it rears its ugly head is our responsibility and our inheritance, whether we like it or not, as a
people who vowed “never to forget.” (Unfortunately, people are forgetting in this country. According to a study published
in 2018 by The Conference of Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, one-fifth of Millennials have never heard of the
Holocaust, over 80 percent of Americans have not visited a Holocaust Museum, and two-thirds do not know of or know a
Holocaust survivor.) Next, we must continually support all efforts promoting Holocaust education in our schools, as well as
local and national organizations (from CHHANGE, to The Holocaust Museum in DC, to The Museum of Jewish Heritage in
NYC, and many more) in their efforts to educate about the Holocaust. In addition, we should support organizations such as
the ADL, who fight against anti-Semitism specifically and extremism and hate acts and speech more generally. As Eli Wiesel
(z’’l) once reminded us:
        To be human is to share a common origin. And if we share a common origin, our destinies are entwined. What
        happens to me will eventually happen to you; what happened to my people is a foreshadowing of what will
        threaten the world. Auschwitz led to Hiroshima and who knows what else?... Anyone who is suffering, anyone who
        is threatened becomes your responsibility….I do not know how to end hatred, I truly wish I did -- but recognizing
        our shared humanity is a good beginning.” (Burger, 147-148)
In other words, the particular and personal connections that we feel specifically about anti-Semitism must not preclude us
from our sacred responsibility to defend anyone who experiences hateful intolerance. That is what it means to honor the
history of those who have lost their lives to the evils of anti-Semitism and that is how we will not lose our humanity even
as others treat us as less than human.
Two final thoughts. First, as we face this latest round of anti-Semetic incidents, let us remember that as Jews we must not
allow ourselves to become divided – neither about Israel, or about politics, or about who is “to blame.” We have fallen into
this trap in Jewish history before, but as our sages reminded us continually, internal division leads only to destruction. Even
when it is difficult, we must strive to find common ground with our fellow Jews. Second, and perhaps most importantly,
one of the best ways to respond to anti-Semitism is to embrace your Judaism. Understand who you are as a Jew. Live,
learn, and make the effort to discover the power that lies within the ancient well of our tradition. Know why Jewish living
matters to you. Challenge yourself to grow as a Jew, to actively and outwardly be Jewish with pride. Understand where
Israel fits into your life, and why Israel is both about having a “safe place for Jews,” and equally about our national
identity, history, and spiritual well-being as a people. (And if you have not ever been to Israel, or visited recently, consider
planning a trip.)
My friends, these are trying times. They are frightening times. They are anxious times. But we must not despair. We have
been here before, and we will likely be here again. When I was a senior in high school I started wearing my kipa, that
symbol of faith and Jewish pride, every day. Have there been moments when I was nervous, when I have paused, when I
have chosen to wear a baseball hat, when I had to deal with comments from that jerk (whose name escapes me) in my
senior history class? Yes. But I am not taking my kipa off anytime soon. I will not be intimidated. We will not be frightened
of being proud Jews. We will stand with all good and decent people in this world, and in America who value mutual
respect, freedom of religion, and the love of our neighbors. We will not let the haters win. Thousands of years and
thousands of enemies later – am yisrael chai – we are still here. We are not going anywhere. The people of Israel live
through each one of us.

Remember, we can only accept non-perishable and
non-refrigerated canned and boxed foods such as:
pasta and sauces; peanut butter, jellies and jams;

NOT GETTING E-MAIL??
If you have not been receiving the Tuesday Morning Torah emails from Rabbi Schonbrun,
shiva notices or weekly emails from Pam, please give the Temple office your email address so we can
add it to our list!
The Temple office does not remove email addresses from the list. Oftentimes, deleting the emails
without opening them causes your email address to be removed from the list. In other cases,
especially if you use an AOL email address, the emails are marked as spam, which also causes
your email address to be removed from the list. For this reason, if you have an AOL email address and
another email address, we ask that you give us the non-AOL email address. We have found Gmail
email addresses to be the most reliable.

                       BLOOD DRIVE, HUGE SUCCESS!
Thank you to our congregants who participated in the recent blood drive.
A total of 88 units were collected. Of the 100 people who registered, 76 donated whole blood and 6
gave Red Cells donations, which count double.
It is said that giving help to a person when neither giver nor receiver know each other is the highest
form of giving. This thought was made for Blood Donors, GOD BLESS THEM.

MEET THE AUTHOR COMES TO ZOOM!

               Thursday, July 22, 7:30pm
                 Meet Rachel Beanland
         author of Florence Adler Swims Forever

Florence Adler Swims Forever, set in 1934 Atlantic City, is a family saga that shows how
far individuals will go to protect a loved one, and the way secrets can strain the bonds of
close relationships. When tragedy strikes the Adler family, its matriarch Esther decides to
hide the truth in a mistaken goal of protecting one of her daughters. The elaborate lies
that the family engages in strain its members and bring many tensions to the surface.
Based on a true story, this is Rachel Beanland’s debut novel.

Rachel Beanland is an MFA candidate in creative writing at Virginia Commonwealth
University. She lives in Richmond.

  There is no charge for Meet the Author events but registration is required.
               Please visit upcomingevents.torat-el.org to register.
   You will receive a confirmation email which will include the Zoom link and password.
