from rabbi marc berkson

It has been a whilesince I last filled thisspace—in fact, sixmonths of a while.

Once again, you gave me some time torefresh, to renew, and, yes, as I havejoked with the fully intended pun, to“rejewvenate.” These last six monthshave not been easy ones for all of us.Yet you gave me the opportunity to praywith countless congregations around theworld over these many months. Yougave me the opportunity to go back toschool—albeit online--to the DivinitySchool of the University of Chicago andtake classes with brilliant professors andyoung students. And you gave me theopportunity to go away for Pesach to bewith family and, for the first time indecades, not have to turn my entirehouse inside-out. Once again, I am sograteful for that opportunity and to all ofyou—to our Cantor and to our Directorof Lifelong Learning and to ourExecutive Director and to Rabbi Barolskyand to our entire staff and to each andevery one of you--for making this possi-ble, particularly during the midst ofthese difficult days of the pandemic.Most profoundly, I feel deep gratitude—to be alive and to share that life with myfamily and with all of you--and I offerthanks each and every day to God andto this congregation. So, to once againquote Dorothy Gale at the end of her,shall we say, sabbatical, “There’s noplace like home.” Thank you.

It is also wonderful to be back in oursanctuary, to be back in person withyou. Needless to say, we began ourreturn to our building several weeks agoand that return continues under thedirection of our Safe Return Taskforcewith Reenie Kavalar in the lead.

Throughout this pandemic, ourTaskforce has been guided by CDC andlocal health department guidelines andby Jewish values. For us, as Jews, ourtransformative moment was the revela-tion at Mt. Sinai. God spoke and theJewish people, commanded to hear,responded, “We will do and we willhear” (Exodus 24:7). For Jews, wroteProfessor Robert Gibbs, “listening [is] theorigin of responsibility… and the begin-ning of ethics.” Ethics, values, theology,principles, and, ultimately, justice, arisethrough the word of God as Jewsencounter that word through holy texts.That encounter is reflected in discussionwhich creates, in Dr. Laurie Zoloth’swords, “a continuous present”—an“encounter with the…text and anencounter with the other’s encounterwith the text….” Thus have Jewish lawand values developed based on com-munal obligation and duty which, attimes, may appear to contradict themore individualistic and rights-basedview with which many Americans mayapproach the pandemic. Through ourinteractions with the texts, four basicoverarching values have arisen thatguide our Jewish response to the pan-demic as offered by the RabbinicalAssembly. They are:

1. Pikuaḥ Nefesh, safeguarding or savinglife, which is perhaps the basis of Jewishlaw and values, beginning with our ownlives. Rabbis Elliot Dorff and SusanGrossman write:

“Commenting on the word with inLeviticus 25:35, “and your brother shall live with you,” Rabbi Akiva taught,

‘Your own life takes precedence over the life of another.’”

2. Sakanat Nefeshot, avoiding danger tolife, which again establishes the utmostvalue of life. So important is life that pre-serving it means that one may do mostanything to save a life. From Leviticus19:16, wherein we are commanded to

“not stand idly by the blood of ourneighbor,” we come to understand thatthat obligation to preserve life extends toevery person so much so that, as we findin Leviticus 18:5, we must do everythingin our power to save another’s life even ifthat means transgressing another com-mandment (except for prohibitionsagainst murder, idolatry, and adultery). Forwe are told to “…keep God’s laws andGod’s rules in order that one may do andlive by them.” The Talmud reminds usthat we must live by them and not die bythem (Babylonian Yoma 85b). And theMishna (Sanhedrin 4:5) reminds us that“whosoever saves one life is as if that per-son saved an entire world.”

3. She’at Hadeḥak, emergency or extenu-ating circumstances, which reflects the factthat Jews have sometimes been forced tomake changes in crisis situations.

4. Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh Bazeh, we areresponsible each for the other, again, we areobligated to the entire community. As Hilleltaught in the Mishna (Avot 2:4), we cannotseparate ourselves from our community.

These four foundational values willundergird all the decisions we will makeas we continue to return leading up tothe High Holy Days. Many people willwant to join in our activities but do soonline and not in person. Some ofthese are our snowbirds; others are folkswho may find driving at night difficult.And some may simply find the ease ofjoining in virtually desirable. As wereturn, we will continue to offer such anoption so that all of our services andclasses and programs will be hybrid.

Yet how I yearn to see you all back atour home, back in our sanctuary and inour synagogue. As Genesis makes clear,“it is not good for a person to be alone.”Taught the French Jewish philosopherEmanuel Levinas, we need to see theface of the other and see our face in thatface. We are responsible for the other.

to Retire theMortgage Update

Meeting, Tuesday,August 17

August marks the ninth month in ourcampaign to retire our synagoguebuilding mortgage. It has been heart-warming to watch our congregation'scommitment to the campaign grow intandem with our gradual return to thebuilding. For me, walking through thedoors for the first time in over a yearbrought a strong sense of home, andbeing able to sit in the sanctuary for ashabbat service felt like a weight waslifting from my shoulders. Seeing con-gregants participating from home onthe zoom screen in the sanctuary was abeautiful reminder of the constancy ofour spiritual community throughout thepandemic and the ways in which wehave found growth through adversity.

The campaign seeks to retire theremaining debt on our building, allow-ing us to move forward into the futurewith a secure foundation and withoutencumbrance. We are within $200,000of reaching our $887,000 goal, but wecan only get there through the generos-ity of our community.

We are planning a parlor meeting onAugust 17 to share our stories and learnmore about the campaign. Please beon the lookout for an email invitationwith more details. We hope you willjoin us. We invite calls to discuss.

Lifelong Learning

From OurPresidentIn the great words ofBonnie Tyler are weholding out for a hero.

If you want to see some heroes, lookaround you. The true heroes are in CEEBJand the Women of Emanu-El. For instance,Noami Arbit’s heroes of yesterday are herparents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.They spent a lifetime getting her ready togo forth in life. Their influence left hergrounded with Jewish morals and integrity.That is the root system and structure. Whatrises above becomes your character. Shewent ahead and published many cook-books and gained a reputation as expert inculinary. Take Nadine Zuckerman, whodevoted her life as a nurse involved andcaring selflessly for others. Tamara Kelber, atrial lawyer, who gives of herself to non-profit organizations, including being on theExecutive Committee of the Board ofTrustees of CEEBJ. The list goes on.

These women and many of you are mem-bers of CEEBJ. Today these heroes include

CEEBJ members of all professions and oth-ers who do double duty to get their kids tosporting events and other responsibilities.

Tomorrow’s heroes are here in front ofme—the Women of Emanu-El. They are ourfuture heroes and our leaders. I say leadersbecause here at the CEEBJ, we spend a lotof time training on leadership with theWomen of Reform Judaism. I did not real-ize this at the time when I signed up overeight years ago to be the President ofWomen of Emanu-El.

Heroes are pretty rare, and it makes you allpretty special. Be whomever you want to bein life. Heroes are in front of us, and they—you—are real. Please remember to rejoin/join the Women of Emanu-El. Today ourrole at CEEBJ, the Women of Emanu-elSisterhood continues to be an advocate forthose without a voice. We reach into thelives of many.

From Our PresidentMy birthday is July 2.My friend Steve and Ishare the same birth

date. For the past several years, we havebeen taking a four-day road trip for ourbirthdays. We cancelled our road triplast year because of Covid. We resumedour tradition this year and decided to goto Vernon County, Wisconsin on a bik-ing trip. We stayed at a lovely cabin out-side of Ontario, Wisconsin. We biked atotal of 80 miles over three days. Steveand I both love carrot cake. We cele-brated our birthdays at a local bakery(which I found online) with two deli-cious carrot cupcakes. We had a greatfour-day holiday!

On July 7, my sister and I had a Zoommemorial for my Mom, who passedaway at the end of May. My sister’sRabbi officiated the memorial. We had32 participants, which included familyand friends from all over the UnitedStates. The Zoom memorial allowedmore people to participate. They toldheart warming stories of my Mom’s lifeand relationships. It was amazing!

As for Temple Brotherhood, I hopeeveryone enjoyed the Family MiniatureGolf Outing at Missing Links GolfCourse on Sunday, July 11 (see page 8).This month, Brotherhood is planning aBrewers Game Outing on Sunday,August 22.

"Sukkahmobile" Adopt-A-River Program Begins Temple Brotherhood organized the firstEarth Day Shabbat on Friday, April 16.The motivation for this service camefrom Torah, which teaches us our obli-gations as Jews are to be stewards of theEarth. Eric Leaf, Assistant Dean forAdvancement at the UWM School ofFreshwater Science spoke to us on themultitude of problems effecting ourGreat Lakes, especially invasive species.

Temple Brotherhood decided we need-ed to actively become stewards of theEarth. Milwaukee Riverkeeper with sup-port from the Milwaukee MetropolitanSewage District created the Adopt-A-River Program, which allows individuals,companies, organizations or communitygroups to cleanup trash from sections ofthe Milwaukee River Basin. Garbage ofall types gets into our rivers in many dif-ferent ways. The goal is to establish a

cleaner healthier watershed and a clean-er healthier community!

Temple Brotherhood on Sunday, July 25began the first of two required cleanups.We chose an area located at 6000 WestLincoln Creek Drive, since MilwaukeeRiverkeeper designated this portion ofthe Milwaukee River as “red,” meaningthis is a high priority site in rough shaperequiring the greatest need of cleanup.We collected nine bags of garbage. Thiswas only a beginning of the trash whichneeds to be collected in this location.

Our next Adopt-A-River Programcleanup date is scheduled for Sunday,October 3 at 10:00 am. Look for sign-upinformation on the E-Flyer sent to you orgo to ceebj.org. Please join us andbecome a steward of the Earth!

Mark HollandChair, Adopt-A-River Program

Temple Brotherhood organized a miniature golf excursion at the brand newcourse at Missing Links located in Mequon. Over forty congregants attended theevent on a pleasant day. Although the course provided challenges, our congre-gants reported the difficulty factor was manageable, which included ponds, water-ways and attractive landscaping to enhance the experience.

This event is an important fundraiser for Temple Brotherhood. Twenty eight busi-nesses and families made financial donations to the event as Hole or ProgramSponsors. Eighteen businesses located in our surrounding communities con-tributed gift cards and certificates and merchandise for the auction and raffle.

But what was most meaningful was our congregants being together in one place.Miniature golf was the venue, but seeing and speaking to one another in one loca-tion was what meant the most. It was so clear our congregation is composed ofpeople who care for one another and that is a part of the fabric of their lives.Although we long to be together in our sanctuary, a miniature golf course for nowserved our desire for closeness.

Social Action and Social Justice are termsthat we use to describe our activities andactions as they relate to the greater com-munity. From a Social Action perspectivewe provide food items to the hungry, par-ticipate in clothing and household goodsdrives, gather gifts for those in need at theholidays. Social Justice requires a morethoughtful process that looks at root causesof societal issues. How do we behavewhen confronted with these issues? Wehave all heard of the increase in anti-semitism in Wisconsin and throughout theUS. What are we doing about it? We haveseen the results of laws that create unfairpractices to people of color, housingissues, employment issues, incarceration,mental and physical health care access.Are we open to listening to what theissues are? And how we got here? Arewe willing to partner with organizationsthat address these issues? Do we jump toconclusions about people who do notlook like us, or talk like us, or practicedifferently from us? As I mentioned lastmonth, a small group of us have begunto struggle with these questions. We wel-come others who are interested in join-ing us. Please let me know if you areinterested.

The High Holy Day food drive willbegin September 6 and continuethrough September 27. Please bringnon-perishable food items to the syna-gogue. A detailed list of specific needswill be provided in the September Ha-Kol.

CEEBJ GardenWe have harvested lettuce from theCEEBJ garden and look forward to abumper crop of cucumbers, beans,tomatoes and carrots. If you have excessproduce that you would like to donate,let me know.

Sandwich MakingWe continue to provide sandwiches toJust One More Ministry and have initiat-ed our monthly sandwich making forMeta House. Please contact NadineZuckerman or Judy Lerner if you areinterested in helping with this.

Twice a year we visit with a plant and the opportu-nity for connection and conversation. We are requesting volunteers who are willing toparticipate from the end of August into early September. We have an active cadre ofvolunteers but can always use more as the number of folks whom we visit continuesto increase. If this interests you, please notify either the synagogue office or CarolFishman at (414) 961-0468 or email [email protected].

Every month, usually on the thirdTuesday between 1:00 and 2:00 pm, agroup of us get together to share ourthoughts about a chosen book. One ortwo of us facilitate the session by givingbackground about the author, somebook review pros and cons, a quicksummary to refresh our memories, andthen lead the discussion, asking ques-

tions about the book for those who readit to answer. Finishing the book beforethe meeting is welcomed, but notrequired. It’s fun to hear different peo-ple’s perspectives. Sometimes we mostlyagree, and sometimes the answers arevery different, which help us all grow inour understanding. We’re a respectfulgroup, open to all responses.

Here are the books and their authors we’ve agreed to read next year, the dates we’ll meet, and the facilitators:

Cary Silverstein who discussed his lat-est book The Mayor of Jackson Heights,Growing Up Jewish in New York in The1950s virtually with the JCC’s Men’sClub on July 6. Cary was introduced byRabbi Marc Berkson and the discussionwas moderated by Ken Stein.

All in the FamilyCongratulations to...


MAZON

Here is an update from MAZON’s web-site on their progress in 2021. Your sup-port has permitted them to advancetheir mission in this challenging year.n MAZON will disburse $2.5 million to52 local organizations across the countryand in Israel this year. n Their mission continues to be to endhunger among people of all faiths in theUnited States and Israel, and 14 granteesare Israeli organizations whose worktouches on hunger or related activism,such as Leket Israel, the food rescue group.n Groups, such as the Little Rock-basedArkansas Hunger Relief Alliance,Operation Food Search in St. Louis andthe Native Food and the Native Foodand Nutrition Resource Alliance in LosAlamos, N.M., are grantees of MAZON’semerging advocacy fund. This fundingsupports both the work and efforts bythese groups to advocate on behalf offederal food programs, like theSupplemental Nutrition AssistanceProgram (SNAP). n Now that the pandemic is receding inmany parts of the world and the U.S.economy has started to recover,MAZON’s policy objective is to per-suade state officials who resist federalfood aid programs to retain pandemic-era changes that expanded access tothem. MAZON and the grantees of theemerging advocacy fund will work tokeep states from reverting to their pre-pandemic practice of leaning heavily onfood banks and pantries.

We as a congregation need to considerincreasing our annual commitment toprovide MAZON the funds it needs tocontinue to fight food insecurity in ourcountry, Milwaukee County and in Israel.
