TOS eWeekly Volume 3 Issue 31, April 29th 2009

This week we welcome the month of May with a double Torah portion, Aharei Mot – Kedoshim. These portions contain some of our Torah’s key texts, the Yom Kippur scapegoat ritual and the Holiness Code, respectively. 

In the latter portion we are taught, “v’ahavta l’rey’a’ha k’mokha, ani Adonai,” “you shall love [be loyal] your neighbor as yourself, I am the Eternal.” Historical, of course, this ancient Torah command meant showing loyalty to your fellow Israelite kinsperson. Our sages and teachers over time came to interpret the Torah’s words more broadly. Now, these sacred words remind us year in and year out how we must relate to our neighbors, our fellow humans beings, whether they live next door to us or half a world away, whether Jew or Gentile, Protestant or Catholic, Buddhist or Muslim, Hindu or Sikh.

Yes, of course, there are times when it is awfully difficult to fulfill this mitzvah, this sacred obligation, when relating to those outside of our familiar circle of family and friends, however, this is when I believe it is all the more important.

Two weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting and sharing a meal with Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, a Palestinian physician, and a Nobel Peace prize nominee, from Gaza who spoke at the Jewish Community Center.  Dr. Abuelaish, you may remember, in the early hours of January 16th, after speaking to a variety of individuals at the JCC on January 15th via cell phone Gaza, lost three of his daughters to an Israeli rocket attack on his home. (This horrific tragedy was determined to be an accident and the Israeli government will compensate his family).

You may listen to Dr. Abuelaish’s presentation from the JCC by clicking on this link.

While I cannot do justice to his remarks in this small space, let me say that in spite of his terrible loss, Dr. Abuelaish’s intense personal Muslim faith and his over arching love for humanity have allowed him to overcome the desire for revenge or the creation of a life of hatred. Instead, he is an example someone fulfilling God’s demand to be “loyal to your neighbor” even in the midst of the most awful moments in his life.

May Dr. Abuelaish’s example of “kedushat haShem”, sanctifying God’s name, be an inspiration for us even in the darkest moments of our own lives and even at times when true justice and peace between Israelis and Palestinians may seem difficult to achieve with the new Israeli government.

B’shalom,
Rabbi Art Donsky

CEMETERY MARKETING

( I am repeating this because after running it a few weeks ago, Danielle was in a car accident and could not work. Then Pesach came, so this marketing will begin next week again—Elliot)

Many members may not know this, but there is a section of Allegheny County Memorial Park that is designated the Jewish Section for Temple Ohav Shalom. This was done in the late 1980’s. The cemetery has changed management a few times since then and we recently met with the current management to discuss landscaping etc. Though a relatively young congregation, we have now had families which have had all the life cycle events at our temple (births, naming, b’nai mitzvah’s, marriage and burials).  The Temple Ohav Shalom Cemetery Gardens has approximately 432 sites available for us. Part of our agreement was to allow solicitation for grave sales by providing membership information to the cemetery sales person. Our representative is Danielle Matascik (412.366.8296). She will begin a marketing effort shortly. Please contact Elliot if you have any questions or concerns.

Dear Friends,

Next week, on Wednesday we will celebrate Israel Independence Day!  The Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh in Squirrel Hill will host what I am sure will be beautiful gathering celebrating Israel’s 61 st year and Tel Aviv’s 100th year as a modern Jewish city.  The festivities will be held from 4 PM to 9 PM this event will certainly be family friendly so please consider carpooling with friends and take your children to enjoy the afternoon.

Also, make sure you mark your calendars for two special Shabbat evenings. Friday, May 1 st , 7:00 PM is our annual Teacher Recognition Shabbat at which we will honor our very dedicated faculty including our many Ozrim, student aides, who are so important to our education program.

Finally, on Friday, May 15 th , at 7:30 PM, we will celebrate our student cantor, Tifani Katof, who will be concluding her tenure with us in June.  Joining us for this special and very musical Shabbat service will be Rabbi Mark Mahler, from Temple Emanuel of the South Hills. Rabbi Mahler was Tifani’s rabbi when she growing up in Upper St. Claire.

B’shalom,
Rabbi Art Donsky

Dear Friends,

As Pesakh comes to a joyful conclusion (yes, I’m ready for some good Challah) we prepare for a more somber observance, that of Holocaust Remembrance Day.  This year our community’s gathering will take on Sunday evening, April 19th at 7:00 PM.  Shara Taylor will join me on the bima for a brief program including the chanting of the memorial prayer, El Malei Rahamim and the lighting of six Yellow Yom HaShoah Memorial Candles. 

Rabbi Danny Schiff, the Agency for Jewish Learning’s Community Scholar, will be our featured speaker.  Rabbi Schiff will share his thoughts about “What Would the Jewish World be like had the Holocaust not Happened?” Members of our Spiritual Enrichment Committee suggested this challenging topic.  Please plan to join us for this very unique memorial program.

I also want to share with you the words of a letter that I received yesterday from the local Unitarian Universalist Church of the North Hills.  Pat McGlone, President of their Board of Trustees wrote:

“Dear Rabbi Donsky,
The Unitarian Universalist Church of the North Hills congregation deplores the defilement of your Holocaust Memorial Garden.  It is an act of hatred and prejudice, which sadly still exists despite all of our efforts to build a peaceful and just world.
UUCNH strives to impress upon our children and youth, respect for the world’s religions and the inherent worth and dignity of all people.  We strive to build a church community, which addresses social injustice when it occurs. As a congregation, we value Temple Ohav Shalom as a neighbor and support your efforts to assure these acts of hatred do not go unnoticed.
Sincerely,

Pat McGlone
President
UUCNH Board of Trustees”

These friends also sent an envelope with cards and drawings from their children expressing their sadness and hurt about the Nazi swastika that was painted in our garden. (Elliot has included them below)
We should be very grateful to have such good neighbors who support us and all peoples that seek to repair our world from the hatred and prejudice that still exists.

Rabbi Art

HAPPY PESAKH!

(For the text on this weeks Torah portion, go to http://urj.org/torah/ )

Dear Friends,

Tonight we will gather with family and friends for our first Seder.  Pesakh (Passover), our Festival of Freedom, invites us to open the Haggadah and enter into our people’s story “from degradation to liberty, from idolatry to praise of God.”

The Seder is also a time for asking questions by young and old alike.  Let me suggest one you may want to add to your Seder:  “Mah nishtana halailah hazeh” (Why is this night different than all other nights?) On all other nights we may take for granted the protection and security we receive from police, fire, emergency service and other public servants, on this night, we remember the three fallen members of the Pittsburgh police force, Eric Kelly, Paul J. Sciullo II and Stephen J. Mayle, who lost their lives serving and protecting our community. 

The plague of too many dangerous weapons continues to haunt our community.  Placed in the hands of individuals like the accused killer, Richard Poplawski, our society suffers.

May the memory of these three brave men always be for a blessing.  And may their families find comfort in the knowledge that their loved ones have returned to the Holy One, the source of life in the universe. 

B’shalom,

Rabbi Art Donsky

eWeekly April 1, 2009

TOS eWeekly Volume 3 Issue 26, April 1st, 2009

Dear Friends,

As you know by now, sadly we, as a community, experienced a cowardly and hateful act of swastika spray-painted on a wall in our Holocaust Memorial Garden.  Such perverse and ignorant actions bring painful memories to some of us; and disbelief and anger to others.

These are some of the words of welcome that I shared last Sunday afternoon at the Interfaith Gathering that we hosted, attended by more than 200 people from the North Hills.

“This annual gathering has always been a day for blessing, for learning, for understanding and for acceptance.

Sadly, I must share with you that sometime this past Friday evening after our Sabbath services concluded and families left the temple building and the next morning when some returned for our Sabbath morning service and a Bar Mitzvah, someone or ones spray painted a swastika on one of the walls in our Holocaust Memorial Garden. 

So, yes it is important that we are here. However, I doubt that the person or persons who committed this hate-crime are with us. 

How do we reach them?  How do we teach them?  We, human beings, are not born hating; it is something one learns. So while it is important that we gather and continue to engage in our efforts to create a better, more peaceful community, more must be done beyond these walls as well as the walls and homes where we pray and live. 

We must be ever vigilant against all acts of hatred and prejudice whenever and wherever they occur, we must remember so that others don’t forget!”

WE MUST REMEMBER SO THAT OTHERS DON’T FORGET!

We are a people of remembering.  Remembering is active memory, not passive reminisces. Remember is telling and retelling; it is something we do every year when we gather for our Pesakh Sedarim.  This year I encourage you to take some time at your Seder and doing some very important remembering. 

This year – make a place for Gilad Shalit at your Seder Table. Leave an empty chair. Put an empty plate. Set an empty cup for wine. Gilad is the young Israeli soldier kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas.  Please see the attached educational material from the Jewish Agency for Israel about Gilad.  Use this opportunity to discuss the important Mitzvah of Pidyon sh’vu’im (redeeming captives), something we have done for 1,000’s of years.

May you and your family enjoy a sweet and joyous Pesakh,

Rabbi Art Donsky

PS:

We wish our Marci Barnes, Director of Lifelong Learning, refuah sh’leimah, a complete recovery from her recent appendectomy surgery.

WOS/HADASSAH Afternoon at the Movies! Note corrected email to RSVP

INTERFAITH GATHERING

Thank you to all who helped make the 12th Annual Interfaith Gathering a huge success:  to Rabbi Donsky who supported and worked with the committee from the beginning and welcomed everyone to the afternoon event; to Aliyah Donsky who chose the music to match this year’s theme and taught and led the Youth Chorus; to Larry Goldberg and the Men’s Club who helped the overflow crowd find parking in both ours and the YWCA lots; to Jeffrey Rabinowitz and his fellow Troop # 329 Boy Scouts who welcomed the attendees and helped them find their way to the various classrooms; to Ruth who duplicated materials for us; and Richard who worked extra to welcome guests to our beautiful building!  Also, thanks to Elliot for the many eweekly announcements inviting the Temple membership and to those who attended this 12th Annual Gathering!
