Law Day Shabbat Saturday, May 4th, 9:30 a.m.

committed to working across the aisle to advocate for working familes. His priorities include strengthening the middle class, creating jobs, ensuring quality health care, protecting seniors, and supporting veterans and military families. Matt has introduced over 60 pieces of legislation and more bipartisan bills than any other House Democrat. Matt is a member of the House Democratic Leadership and the House Committee on Appropriations. He serves as Vice Chair on the Commerce-Justice-Science, Financial Services & General Government, and Military Construction-VA Appropriations Subcommittees. Cartwright’s introduced legislation typically proposes expanded rights and bene�ts for Americans who deserve more favorable treatment under the law. His legislative portfolio has also focused on protecting the environment from loopholes in fundamental environ-mental protection statutes and promoting equity for wage-grade federal workers at government installations such as VA hospitals, federal prisons, and military depots. Cartwright has been independently recognized as a leader in gaining co-sponsorships within the House of Representatives for his bills, as well as for his success in getting legislation moved and passed. His MEGABYTE Act, requiring federal agencies to develop comprehensive software licensing policies, and his Veterans Care Financial Protection Act, protecting veterans from predatory practices associated with Aid & Assistance bene�t, were signed into law by Presidents Obama and Trump, respectively. Prior to coming to Congress, Cartwright worked as an attorney with Munley, Munley & Cartwright for 25 years. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Hamilton College and a law review graduate of University of Pennsylvania’s Law School. Cartwright is married to Marion Munley Cartwright and is the father of two sons, Jack and Matthew. The Cartwrights live in Moosic. We look forward to seeing you at this special service honoring our esteemed legal professionals.

One on behalf of the Diocese of Scranton and the Catholic community, and the other from the Islamic Center of North-eastern PA representing the Muslim community. My friend Monsignor Vincent

There were two recent letters, from two very di�erent segments of the community, that converged on my computer with very similar sentiments.

Writes...

He wrote: “A poem by Emma Lazarus that is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty states:‘Give me your tired, your poor.

J. Grimalia is Diocesan Coordinator forEcumenical and Interfaith Relations ofour northeastern Pennsylvania Diocese.In the recent issue of the Catholic Lightmagazine he wrote a piece called OneGod, One Human Family

Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’ “Generations of people thought this to be true, but upon arrival found things to be different. Prejudice and discrimination greeted them. Throughout history people have suffered from fear, hatred and violence. In 1915, there was the Armenian Genocide. Also during the 20th century, the Nazi party executed the Jewish Holocaust, and in the Soviet Union and other places there was religious persecu-tion. Various forms of prejudice and discrimination have marred our national history, and even has been found in northeastern and north

central Pennsylvania. Still today, White Supremacy promotes hatred and violence in our country and contradicts our national hope and the Gospel. We must all be careful that our new neighbors — the Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Baha’i and others — do not become victims of hatred and violence. The recent murder of Jews worshipping in the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pitts-burgh in October, and the murder of praying Muslims in two mosques in New Zealand recently, should put us on alert to prevent and protect us from fear of others based on race, language, culture and religion. When any fear of others, wheth-er throughout the world or nearer to our own home occurs, we should be concerned. Prayer should lead us to examine our attitudes, help us to identify any prejudices and fears, and move us to act in ways to prevent and to protect those who are different than us.” From another corner of our com-munity came a letter from my friend Dr. Ibrahim Almeky, President and Imam of the Islamic Center of North-eastern Pennsylvania, our local mosque. He wrote: “I am very sad and hurt when I saw the news today about the bombing that targeted three churches in Sri Lanka while celebrat-ing and praying in the Easter Sunday mass.“On behalf of the Islamic association I strongly condemn this horrific act of terror on the houses of worship and upon the peaceful worshiper. I cannot comprehend these people who do such heinous crimes. They are not human, and I ask God to punish them with what they deserve. “I pray to God to heal the injured, to reward the deceased with the life in heaven they prayed for, and to grant their families and loved ones the reward for their loss and patience.

“As one community and one family, anything we can do to help to heal, the Islamic association will support

These two statements, both labeled by their authors to re�ect one God, one Community, and one Family come from very di�erent people of very di�erent back-grounds. Msgr. Grimalia, recently retired, still serves the Diocese as chair of the o�ce of ecumenism and interfaith relations. He is also presi-dent of the Wyoming Valley Inter-faith Council and is a scholar of the Catholic faith. My inbox usually contains one or two messages from him containing a statement of comment about Judaism from the Pope or another representative of the Catholic Church. Dr. Almeky has been a colleague at the VA hospital for many years where he is a physician in the inten-sive care unit and we have had long talks together (on the clock!) usually about the similarities between Judaism and Islam. He has been ready to participate in every inter-faith event in the community and is a genuine spiritual leader to his congregation. And within days, both of these �ne people, from diverse backgrounds, shared their prayers for peace and unity in the face of terror and despair. I’m proud to be part of a community that has such sincere support for us as one com-munity and one family. May their prayers for peace, combined with ours, become a reality soon.

that and will rush to do. I ask God to bring peace in our hearts and in this world. Peace and God bless.

Notes...

One of the best aspects of Midrasha (our joint Hebrew School program with Temple B’nai Brith) is that we have a music assembly during every session. We learn holiday songs and Shabbat melodies, but whatever else we sing, we always conclude with Hatikvah. If I ever forget, one of our youngest students, Asher Dicton, reminds me to do it. Even at 6 years old, Asher realizes the importance of singing this song together every week. We celebrate Yom Hatzmaut (Israel Independence Day) on May 9th this year. Here’s a little background on this song, which touches Jewish souls from age 6 to 96. The lyrics of Hatikvah come from the nine-stanza poem, “Tikvateynu” (“Our Hope”) written in 1877 by poet Naphtali Herz Imber (1856-1909) from Galicia. An ardent Zionist, Imber moved to the land of Israel in 1882. His passionate poem, which expresses the hope of the Jewish people to return and reclaim our ancient homeland, was adopted as the anthem of the Zionist Movement at the First Zionist Congress in 1897. The tune for Hatikvah is not an old Jewish folksong - it actually dates back to 17th century Italian composer Giusep-pino Del Biado, who included it in his collection of madrigals. It was later known in Italy as “Ballo di Mantova,” a haunting melody that spread throughout Europe under various titles and was the basis of Czech composer Bedřich Smetana’s symphonic poem “Die Moldau.” Hatikvah was most likely adopted from “Die Moldau” by Romanian Jewish composer Samuel Cohen in 1888.

Hatikvah, like the State of Israel itself, has had a complicat-ed, often poignant history. Here are a few historic tidbits:

- The British Mandate government brie�y banned itsperformance in 1919 due to Arab anti-Zionist politicalactivity.

- In 1944, Czech Jews spontaneously sang it at the entry tothe Auschwitz-Birkenau gas chamber and were beaten bySS guards.

Women’s Shabbat, May 18th at 10:00am

-When the State of Israel was established in 1948, Hatikvahwas uno�cially proclaimed the national anthem. It was noto�cially sanctioned as the national anthem by theKnesset until November 2004.

Hatikvah continues to endure as a powerful expression of Jewish nationalism, tying us to our Homeland and our People. “The hope of 2000 years, To be a free nation in our land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem.”

-In a BBC recording (April20, 1945) Jewish survivorsof the Bergen-Belsen sangHatikvah, �ve days afterliberation.

- Some observant Jewshave accused Hatikvah ofbeing too secular, andadvocate changing thewords Am Chofshi (FreeNation) to Am Kodshi (HolyNation).

Seth Kranson - May 7thHappy May Birthday to:

- Bedonna Mitchneck, School Board Chair

The pre-school and Kindergarten loved the story of the Exodus. The children were very interested in the ten plagues. Not all the children were thrilled with all the Seder food, but they were willing to sample some of it. The older students were also divided into di�erent groups to participate in their own Seder. Discussions ensued about the Exodus and the crossing at the Red Sea. The children asked great questions and the morning was a great success. I enjoyed going from room to room to listen to the discussions and watch the children learn the story of Passover. I am sure they were all eager to participate in their own family Seders. Thank you to all of the parents and board members who helped to prepare the Seder food. The children had all the Seder food including matza balls and soup. As our school year is coming to a close the school board is continuing to evaluate our agreement between both temples and will make changes if necessary to ensure the smooth running of our school. We look forward to meeting Rabbi Eric Mollo from Temple B’nai B’rith. Rabbi Mollo will begin his duties as of July 1st. The board looks forward to working with Rabbi Mollo. As we conclude our second year we wish everyone a won-derful summer and we look forward to next year. As always if you have concerns about anything please call Gerri. Remem-ber to ask your children about their year in Hebrew school and what they have learned.

April showers bring May �owers and it also brings Passover. Midrasha participated in model Seders on April 14th. Each class had a Seder that was appropriate for their age and ability.

-Joe Mitchneck

We have many people who have worked hard to help make our synagogue function smoothly. One person who we owe many thanks is Dan Messinger. After the shootings at The Tree of Life Synagogue at Pittsburgh we needed someone to take charge of our building security. Dan volunteered and spent many hours focusing on our immediate needs. As a result our members can attend synagogue func-tions and feel safe in our building. At this time Dan will be transitioning out of this position in order to spend more time in his role as Membership Chair. Hal Levine is taking over as his replacement and will continue to further develop our security protocols. Thank you Hal for assuming this very important responsibility. Also, relative to security, USCJ recently sponsored a Security Conference at Elkins Park. Myself, Bedon-na, and Bob Greenwald attended and gained much insight from the presenters and from discussions with leaders from the 22 synagogues that were represented. The focus for the conference was how to keep our communities safe, yet balancing that with creating welcoming and �nancially sound institutions. We all came away with a better under-standing of the security planning process while acknowledging that this is a process that needs to be continually re-examined. As you can see, we continue to be pro-active to provide a safe place to meet, but we still have much to consider. We are working on all safety aspects, not only terrorism but contingency’s for security for �res, natural disasters, and utility breakdowns. Our goal is for our Temple to be a comfortable safe place for everyone.
