RABBI’S MESSAGE THE KADDISH

The Kaddish is one of the most powerful prayers in our liturgy. It is a call for the sanctification in public of God’s name. It is of interest to note the Mishnah Berurah comments that if one is standing in between two minyanim, and one minyan is at Kedushah and the other minyan is at Kaddish, you are to respond to Kaddish. It is a compilation of verses with Messianic overtones. A person who says Kaddish is demonstrating in a mystical way his ability to draw closer to God. There are variations of Kaddish: Half Kaddish, the Full Kaddish, the Rabbinical Kaddish, and the “Orphan’s Kaddish.” The Kaddish is instrumental in creating division lines in prayer. The Half Kaddish in particular is a divider separating Pesukei D’Zimra from Barchu and the blessings of the Shema. Although we connect Kaddish frequently to mourners and to death, there is no mention of death whatsoever in Kaddish. It is a statement of glorification of God’s name. The first time that we see a connection between Kaddish and mourning is found in Massechet Sofrim in the 8th century where we see a connection between Kaddish to comforting mourners. Many early commentators never mentioned any connection between Kaddish and mourners, including the Rambam. There are early records mentioning how the tradition that depicts a young child saying Kaddish for a deceased parent somehow would allow the deceased to benefit from the recitation of Kaddish and avoid a judgement of hell. Nevertheless, Rabbi Moshe Isserles asserted that it was preferable for a mourner to lead the services and recite sacred blessings such as “Barchu” over reciting Kaddish, which was initially created for minors who could not fulfill that task of leading the services. (Y.D. 376:4) The ritual of the recitation of the Mourners Kaddish was so strong that people would hire someone to perform this function. [Rabbi Abraham Besdin o”h told the story at a funeral about a man telling the rabbi that he was hiring somebody not only to say Kaddish, but he was hiring somebody to sit Shiva for him as well!] Initially only one mourner was allowed to recite every individual Kaddish, leaving detailed rules of priority as well as pressure to add excessive additional Kaddish opportunities. Eventually, to avert this, the custom developed for all Mourners to recite Kaddish together on such occasions. In our time the question has been raised for decades about women saying Kaddish. In our synagogue women are allowed to say Kaddish, but we request that men say Kaddish at the same time. In the 17th century a father requested that his only child, a daughter, recite Kaddish for him at a special minyan made up of men in his home. Rabbi Yair Bachrach responded that on a technical level

a woman could recite Kaddish when she is equally obligated in sanctifying God’s name and would provide equal tranquility to the departed. Yet he ultimately opposed the establishment of these private minyans lest such innovation weaken other existing customs. For various reasons many rabbis concurred with him with some suggesting that women should perform other mitzvot toward the merit of the deceased. When a man loses his parent he enters a year-long mourning period, reciting Kaddish for eleven months. Furthermore he attains a priority in leading the services from the Amud during the week. He is prohibited from leading the services on Shabbat and Yom Tov. This is sometimes abused by mourners whose Hebrew is not up to par. Frequently I remind gabbaim that when a person loses his parent he becomes an orphan not a cantor. We are generally lenient in allowing a person to assume the Amud and conduct the services even though his Hebrew is not the best. The Kaddish is a very special prayer and it behooves the congregation to make sure to be attentive and respond to the Kaddish as it is being recited. In this way we also join the mourner in honoring the deceased. We respectfully honor the mourner, and especially honor the Almighty. There is much written as to why the Kaddish is recited only in Aramaic, and not in Hebrew. The Talmud (Sotah 33a and Tosfot Berachot 3a) states that angels do not understand Aramaic. Hence we recite it in a language they do not understand, thereby enabling us to spread its message throughout God’s world, causing His Glory to be disseminated all over. If the angels would understand the Kaddish, they would be jealous of Israel saying a beautiful prayer. A simpler answer is that the Kaddish became such an important and impactful prayer at a time when the people spoke Aramaic and not Hebrew. Therefore it was written in a language spoken by all Jews (especially during the Babylonian Exile). The Maharal of Prague explained that Kaddish achieves an exaltation of God which transcends the heights that angels can achieve with their Divine services. We stress the unique loftiness of the prayer by saying it in a language that is specifically not associated with angels, as per our tradition. We should make the effort to learn the translation of the Kaddish in the English while we recite it in Aramaic.

RABBI EDWARD DAVIS


PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I thought this was going to be an easy column to write. All I needed to do was to compose a short few words to show appreciation to our part time staff, and our many volunteers. How difficult can that be?

Using some literary license, I am now in a situation that my waste basket is overflowing with crumpled up sheets of paper, ripped in utter frustration from my typewriter. I just don’t seem to be able to frame this right. Maybe that’s because there are so many people who do so many diverse things for the shul that it’s difficult to summarize. Or maybe I’m just afraid that if I start singling out people and the jobs that they do, I am certain to offend someone by leaving out recognition of their contribution.

Regardless, neither of those reasons are ample enough to steer me away from recognizing and thanking those who work behind the scenes to make our congregation great. The people behind the programs, initiatives and classes are the mainstay of our success, and deserve our heartfelt thanks. Here is a partial list of things that our congregants put their efforts into:

*Adult Education *Daf Yomi *Weekly Classes *Shabbos Mevorchim Lecture *Special holiday programing *Yom Ha’Atzmaut, *Yom HaShoah *Kol Hanearim *Lag B’Omer, *Achdut Social *The Big Sh’bang *Yizkor Book *Shabbos hosts *Brotherhood *Sisterhood *Shul Dinner *Decorum *House *Youth *Search *Transition *Fundraising *Kol Nidre Campaign *Finance *Raffle *Welcoming *New Members Melava Malka *New Members Tea *Gift baskets *Mishloach Manot *Mikvah *Ritual *Social Action *Beis Medresh *Young Professionals *Empty Nesters *Website and IT management. Of special note: Youth Director, Youth Rabbis, Youth leaders, and finally Gabyim, who may very well be the most underappreciated group of people on the planet.

To all who has participated in any aspect of the above list (and any I have forgotten), you have our heartfelt thanks. We recognize the hours of intense dedication that each of these initiatives require. If you are not listed, find someone who is and give them a hug for me. May we all go from strength to strength.

SISTERHOOD MESSAGE Avraham Avinu is our first “forefather” and yet, as far as parenting goes, we don’t have that much to go on. In fact, the relationship between Avraham and Yitzchak doesn’t get much play in the Torah. The only time we ever see them speaking to each other is when Avraham is going off to sacrifice Yitzchak! Quite the bonding moment, right (no pun intended)? So here we are, our first “father,” sharing a moment with his son, and suddenly, we get the only dialogue the Torah records between the two of them. Yitzchak calls his father and Avraham replies “Hineni – Here I am.” And then, once Yitzchak figures out that they are going to sacrifice something, he asks, “Where’s the animal that we are going to sacrifice?” And Avraham answers, “Hashem will provide it for us.”

And that’s it.

Our only time to see Avraham interact with Yitzchak and it’s just those two lines. Bit of a letdown, no? You’d think we’d get some awesome Parenting 101 tips somewhere else, right? But no. Two lines of dialogue and they aren’t that exciting.

The truth is, some people say that those two pieces of dialogue – “I am here” and “Hashem will provide” are actually the only parenting tips we need. They are the only two things a father needs to impart to his son (or daughter). Your child needs to know that you are here and that Hashem will provide. Everything else, for the most part, is just icing on the proverbial cake.

It’s a powerful message when we are entering the season of ultimate materialism and shopping. Between Black Friday “must haves” and Chanukah gift “wish lists,” the month of Kislev can sometimes seem like an all out spoil-fest for our children. It’s a good time to remember that the real gifts of Chanukah are the gifts of simplicity – the gift of family, of friends, of light and latkes. More than the latest Xbox game, more than that new pair of Jimmy Choos, more than the payroll bonus. It’s a season for telling our children the two things they need to keep in their hearts always: I am here and Hashem will provide. May this month bring you blessings of family, the warmth of friends, and the knowledge that whatever it is you need or desire – that Hashem will provide it for you.

Happy Chanukah from your sisterhood crew!

Mitzvah MonitorChanukah Lights in ShulRabbi Yosef Weinstock

The Talmud (Shabbat 21b) rules that the proper location for Chanukah candles is in one’s home: either directly outside the entrance of the house or inside the home. No other locations are mentioned in the Talmud as being appropriate for lighting Chanukah candles.

Rabbi Yitzchak ben Abba Mari (12th century, France) in his work Sefer Ha’Ittur, is the first source to mention a custom of lighting Chanukah candles in the synagogue. Today, the mainstream Ashkenazic practice is to light Chanukah candles in shul, and to even do so with a bracha.

There are two basic approaches to understanding why we light Chanukah candles in shul. One approach views the shul as serving as an extension of the home. For instance, the Rivash (111) writes that the custom to light Chanukah candles in shul emerged from a period of persecution in which Jews were prevented from lighting properly in their homes. Although the ideal setting for Chanukah lights is the Jewish home, the synagogue can be used as an alternate location when necessary. The Orchot Chayim (14) utilizes a similar logic. He explains that Chanukah candles were lit in shul for the sake of those people who would not otherwise fulfill the mitzvah. Lighting Chanukah candles in shul is similar to reciting Kiddush and Havdalahin shul, or the Chazan’s repetition of the Amidah. All were originally instituted for those who otherwise would not have recited these important prayers.

On the other hand, the synagogue may have been chosen as a location for Chanukah lights not as a substitution for, but rather to compliment and expand upon the basic obligation that is fulfilled at home. The Ritva, for example, wrote that the Chanukah lighting in shul is a way to publicize the miracle to a greater degree, which we know is an important facet of the Chanukah celebration. Others (such as Sefer Hamanhig) add that it is appropriate to commemorate miracles that occurred in the Beit Hamikdash in the synagogue, which is called a Mikdash Me’at (a miniature Temple).

These two approaches to Chanukah lights in shul touch on the two facets of our relationship with a synagogue. On the one hand, our shul should be a “home away from home.” Our shul should be a place that is familiar to us, where we talk and socialize, where we eat and celebrate. On the other hand we must never lose sight of the fact that a synagogue is a Mikdash Me’at. Its core function and reason for existence is to perpetuate the legacy of the Temple: a location to meet with and talk to God, a place to satisfy our hunger for spiritual meaning and growth. At times these two facets of a shul can seem to be in tension with one another. After all, we might act, talk and dress differently in the comfort of our homes than we would in the Beit Hamikdash, or some other formal setting.

However this tension need not exist. It is possible for us to be committed to the sanctity of the synagogue while maintaining the familiarity and comfort of a shul as an extension of our home. Being faithful to both functions of a shul requires effort. But the first step is awareness. Let us utilize the experience of lighting Chanukah candles in our shul to recommit ourselves to the far-reaching importance and sanctity of our Mikdash Me’at.

KOSHER KORNER

The Orthodox Union does not certify Hannaford Frozen Spinach (Scarbourough, ME). Some packaging was printed with an unauthorized OU symbol.

The Orthodox Union does not certify Monarch Canned Fruit Cocktail in Heavy Syrup (San Ramon, CA). This product

contains carmine, a food coloring that is not considered kosher by the OU. Some cans were printed with an unauthorized OU symbol. This product was sold in Panama and possibly other locations.

The Orthodox Union does not certify Lazzaroni Amaretti Cookie Snaps (Casalini SRL, Roccafranca, Italy). Some bags

were printed with an unauthorized OU symbol.

A limited amount of Setton Farms Crème Brûlée Mix (Setton International Foods, Inc., Commack, NY) mistakenly bore the OK instead of OK-D. This product contains dairy (as stated in the ingredient list) and is certified kosher dairy.

Some bags of Gefen brand Chulent Mix with the UPC# 710069035003 and with “Best By” dates ranging from 8/18 to

10/18 were found to contain insects. The Orthodox Union and Gefen requested that possibly affected product should be withdrawn from the marketplace and corrective actions are being implemented. Under proper storage conditions, it is unusual to find infestation in these products sold in the United States.

Planter’s Almond Lover’s Medley (Kraft Heinz Foods Company) is an OU-Pareve product. Some labels for the 2 lb. 5

oz. containers were printed without the OU symbol.

Kosher/Non-Kosher Candy Assortments: Many variety bags of assorted, individually-wrapped candies now in stores contain a mixture of both kosher and non-kosher candies. The kashrut status of each variety should be carefully checked. Some of these assortments bear an OU or OU-D on the back of the bag after the ingredient listings of the kosher varieties. This can lead to confusion among shoppers who do not discern that the kosher symbol refers only to that particular variety, and not to the entire contents of the bag. The following are examples of these assortments currently in stores: Hershey – 100 Snack Size Pieces, 140 Pieces and 230 Pieces Assortments contain non-kosher Jolly Rancher items, together with kosher items. The bags bear a disclaimer on the back stating, “This Bag Contains Kosher and Non-Kosher Items.” Mars – 40 Pieces, 90 Pieces, 100 Pieces and 230 Pieces Assortments contain non-kosher Starburst and/or Skittles items, together with kosher items. These bags do not bear a disclaimer.

Stubborn Soda in 12 oz. bottles from Pepsi, in the following flavors, is kosher and pareve: Agave Vanilla Cream,

Black Cherry with Tarragon (Reg. & Low Calorie), Classic Root Beer, Lemon Berry Acai, and Orange Hibiscus.

Mountain Dew Kickstart Energy Drinks which bear the letters “XG” in the middle of the second line of the inkjet code on the bottom of the can are kosher. Cans without the letters “XG” are kosher only when bearing a reliable certification on the label.

Veggie Wash brand Fruit and Vegetable Wash (Beaumont Products), in both the Natural and the Organic types, is

cRc certified. The Organic type mistakenly does not bear the cRc symbol, but is nevertheless certified.

Some varieties of Kashi Cereals have changed their status from plain OU (i.e. pareve) to OU-D. Currently, all Kashi cereals (cereals only, not other Kashi products) that bear an OU-D are labeled with the D due only to the use of dairy equipment. They may be eaten after meat without any waiting period.

Lemonheads, Red Hots, Atomic Fireballs, etc. that do not bear the UMK (United Mehadrin Kosher) symbol are

currently manufactured at a non-supervised plant and are not acceptable. Each package should be checked for the UMK symbol.

Sabra Dipping Company has issued a voluntary recall of certain Hummus products because of possible health risks.

Consumers with any product with a “Best Before” date up through January 23, 2017 are urged to discard it. For additional information contact Sabra Consumer Relations at 1-866-265-6761. Sabra products not included in the recall are: Sabra Organic Hummus, Sabra Salsa, Sabra Guacamole and Sabra Greek Yogurt Dips.

CHANUKAH

LAWS OF CHANUKAH 1. Since Maimonides recounts the story of Chanukah in his Code of Jewish Law, it is obviously important to review the history of the Chanukah story including the victory over the Greek-Syrians and the miracle of the oil in the Beit HaMikdash. 2. The name Chanukah means " -- "they rested on the 25th" of Kislev from their enemies. Another reason for the name Chanukah is to commemorate the rededication of the Beit HaMikdash from the defilement of the enemy. In addition, the building of the Mishkan (tabernacle) was completed on the 25th of Kislev. 3. It is best that each member of the family lights his or her own Menorah for the entire 8 nights of Chanukah. 4. If one person is lighting for another, a woman may kindle the Menorah for a man, and vice versa. Although a woman may light the candles to exempt her husband, this should preferably not be done--unless he will not be home to light them himself. 5. A person wishing to join with another in the mitzvah should give an amount of money to become a partner in the ownership of the oil, wicks, or candles. The person doing the lighting may give a share of the oil et al as a gift instead of accepting payment. 6. When lighting the Menorah inside the house, the lights should be placed at a window facing a public area. If not possible, they should be placed facing a neighbor. 7. The lights should be lit at nightfall, although it is permissible to light them at sunset. The lights must remain lit until half an hour after nightfall (69 minutes after sunset). 8. One should not begin a meal, learn, or do other work before lighting the Menorah. 9. While the lights are burning, work which is prohibited on Chol HaMoed is customarily not performed. 10. On Erev Shabbat, all the candles or amount of oil should be large enough to burn until ½ hour after nightfall. If this is impossible, at least one light

should burn for this time. These lights are lit before the Shabbat candles are lit. 11. On Saturday night, it is questionable whether the Menorah or the Havdalah candle is lit first. In shul, the Menorah is lit first and then Havdalah is made. At home, one follows the custom of one's family. In my home, we make Havdalah first. 12. All oils are permitted. It is preferable though to use olive oil. All olive oil is kosher for use in the Menorah. 13. Gas or Electric lights are not permitted. 14. The lights should be set in a straight row (not including the Shamash), in order that the number of lights be recognizable by an onlooker. For the same reason, a space of one inch should separate the lights. 15. If the lights are blown out before the required length of burning time, they should be relit without repeating the brachah. 16. It is forbidden to use the Chanukah lights for any purpose (e.g. to read or to eat by them). Similarly, one is not allowed to light a Chanukah candle from another Chanukah candle. The shamash candle should be used exclusively. If the shamash candle goes out before one is finished using it, be sure not to relight it from a Chanukah candle. 17. All brachot should be recited before beginning the lighting. The reason for this is that all brachot are fully recited before the performance of the mitzvah. 18. Once the lights have burned for the required time, one is allowed to extinguish the lights or then use them for some other purpose (the latter possibility exists only if one made a condition before kindling the lights). 19. The complete Hallel is said on all eight days of Chanukah. 20. Al Hanissim is added in the Shmoneh Esrai and Birkat Hamazon. If one forgot the Al Hanissim in Shmoneh Esrai until after the following brachah, one does not go back to say it.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: When constructing an Aron Kodesh, we normally hang a Parochet (curtain) on the outside. My question is: are the Parochet hung outside the doors or inside the doors of the Aron?

A: The source for this law is the Talmud (Megillah 26b) where Rava comments regarding the curtain which lines the

inside of the Ark that houses the Torah… Rashi comments that this curtain hangs inside the Ark. Tosfot comment that the curtain hangs outside the Ark. The Meiri explains the passage according to Rashi, while the RaMa writes according to Tosfot. The end result is that either way is acceptable. Rav Chaim David HaLevi, the late Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv, wrote about Shuls in Yerushalayim that put one Parochet inside the doors and another Parochet outside the doors. [In our Shul, the Main Sanctuary has the Parochet outside the doors; at the Shabbat 8 o’clock Minyan upstairs, the Parochet is inside the doors.]

Q: May one use the telephone to visit the sick and to console the bereaved? A: There is a cute anecdote I heard from Rabbi J. Simcha Cohen o”h involving the time when his father died in 1978.

He was sitting Shiva together with his brother when this question came up. They noticed a book in English that stated that a personal visit should be conducted, and one should not rely on the telephone. While discussing this issue, the phone rang. It was Reb Moshe Feinstein. He had been to the funeral but was too weak to visit with them. so he called to talk to each of them. That ended that discussion.

The end result is that a personal visit is preferred, but a phone call will suffice if need be. Regarding visiting the sick, very often more than a cheerful visit is necessary. Making sure the sick person is cared

for is the primary goal of the visit. If that is being accomplished, the phone call is an accepted means of performing the Mitzvah.

Q: What are the laws of Keriah (Tearing a Garment) at a funeral? A: The custom is to tear clothing before the eulogies. The tear is made while standing and should be about 4 inches

long. The tear is made downward – from the neckline in the front. The mourner may change into less desirable clothing before tearing, because the tearing need not be performed on clothing he/she cares about.

For a parent who passes away, all layers of clothing are torn, excluding topcoat, undergarment and Tzitzit. In order for a woman to remain covered, she tears her garments and immediately closes the tear with a pin. The mourner tears in public, and must tear by hand (but may start the tear with a utensil (scissors or knife). The mourner tears on the left side. If mistakenly performed on the right side, it is acceptable.

[For other relatives who pass away, the mourner tears only the outermost garment, excluding the topcoat. The mourner may tear in private. If the mourner changes clothing during Shiva, he need not tear this newly changed clothing. The mourner tears the right side. If mistakenly performed on the left side, it is acceptable.]

Q: If a baby boy is born Friday evening after sunset, may the Shalom Zachor be that Friday evening or the following Friday

night? A: Either one. Q: Am I allowed to tear toilet paper on Shabbat? A: It is not permitted to tear paper towels or toilet paper off a roll on Shabbat, whether one tears along the perforation

or not. In case of necessity one may tear the toilet paper, but he should do so in an indirect manner and not along the perforations. Tissues that are not completely separated and are still attached may not be torn apart. It is permitted to use tissues and paper towels on Shabbat even if they are likely to tear in use.

Q: May one listen to Havdallah over the telephone? A: Listening to Havdallah over the telephone is problematic, since one does not hear the natural, human voice when it

is transmitted over the telephone. Some authorities are of the view that one’s obligation is not fulfilled, and one should not respond with Amen to the blessings. In case of emergency, however, when a woman is ill and in the hospital when Havdallah cannot be made for her, it is the opinion of Reb Moshe Feinstein that she should listen to Havdallah over the phone and answer Amen on hearing the blessings.

FACTS I DISCOVERED WHILE LOOKING UP OTHER THINGS

THE CHACHAM FOR THE COLONIES… Rabbi Raphael Chaim Yitzchak Karigal (1732-1777). Rabbi Karigal was a typical Sephardi Chacham from Eretz Yisrael who spent a number of years in 18th century America. He was born in 1732 in the ancient Sephardic kehilla of Chevron. At the age of 21, Rabbi Karigal was appointed to be the Shliach of Chevron in 1754. He understood that his mission was basically to travel to the Diaspora to raise money for his community’s scholars. His travels took him to Egypt for three months, then to Turkey, Constantinople, Salonica, Syria, Iraq, and Persia, and then back to Chevron. In 1757 he went to Western Europe, to Italy, Vienna, Prague, London, and Amsterdam. And then off to Curacao, where he stayed for two years before returning to Chevron. In 1768 he left again for Paris, London, and then Jamaica. In 1771 he arrived in Philadelphia. A month later he went to New York, and then to Newport, RI, where he met and befriended Reverend Ezra Stiles, who would later become president of Yale University. Stiles wrote a number of Hebrew letters to Rabbi Karigal, which were preserved. On Shavuot in 1773 Rabbi Karigal gave a spirited sermon in Newport. Normally he spoke in Hebrew, but in Newport he spoke in Spanish. The parneisim of Newport were so impressed with his sermon that they had it published in an English translation in 1773, the first Jewish discourse to be published in America. Rabbi Karigal left Newport on July 21, 1773 and set sail for Surinam, and then in 1774 to Barbados, where he died at the age of 45. JEWISH BEGINNING IN AMERICA… The first Jews arrived in 1654 aboard the “St. Charles” sailing with a shipload of 23 Spanish-Portuguese Jews to New Amsterdam. They sought refuge in the Dutch colony. The Dutch had been among the friendliest European nations for Jews. They were met by a most anti-Semitic Peter Stuyvesant, then the governor of the North American Dutch colony. Peg-legged and crusty, Stuyvesant barred Jews from participating in the defense of the colony, and instead demanded that Jews pay a special tax levied on them alone, to pay for not serving. One holdout, Asser Levy, insisted in serving in the military and refused to pay the tax. He fought Stuyvesant and won. Today there is a small intersection of streets in Lower Manhattan named Asser Levy Square. No-one knows who that space is named for. There is also a prominent New York City public school named Stuyvesant High School, one of the city’s three or four finest schools. Throughout most of the latter half of the 20th century much of that top school’s student body was comprised of Jews. No-one knows or cares who that school is named for. And in that first Jewish encounter with Stuyvesant there may be seen a metaphor describing the entirety of the American Jewish experience. THE KING OF JERUSALEM… Many of the royal houses of Europe, including the Bourbons, the Habsburgs, and the Savoyards, claimed the title. In 1277 Charles of Anjou bought it from Mary of Antioch, one of its claimants, after

which kings of Naples or Sicily claimed it, and it descended via the Savoyards to the Italian kings. The King of Spain still uses it. Only one English monarch used the title. When Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII, married Philip II of Spain in Winchester in 1554, she was declared, among Habsburg titles, to be Queen of Jerusalem. The title was used by the Habsburg emperors until 1918. (From “Jerusalem the Biography” by Montefiore) THE RAMBAN SHUL… Its fate tells the story of the Jews in Jerusalem. The first synagogue was probably on Mount Zion but soon moved to the Jewish Quarter. Under the Mamluks, a mosque and Al-Yehud (Jewish) minaret were built next to it, extended in 1397. When the synagogue collapsed in 1474, Muslims demolished it and refused to permit its reconstruction. But the penultimate Mamluk Sultan, Qaitbay, allowed it to be rebuilt. It was closed again by the Ottomans in 1587. A synagogue was then opened in the neighboring building until the Ramban and the next door synagogue were united and reopened in 1835. In the early 20th century the Ramban Shul was taken over by the Muslims and used as storage until it again became a synagogue. It was deliberately destroyed by the Arab Legion in 1948. In 1967 it was reopened. HARRY HOUDINI (1874-1926)… Houdini was born Erik Weisz in Budapest. His parents were Rabbi Mayer Samuel and Cecilia Weisz; his father was a full-bearded Hungarian rav. As a child he attended a circus and was mesmerized by the escape artist. He quickly became an illusionist and stunt performer. Check out this entry from a 1920 Funk and Wagnalls New Dictionary:

JULIUS ROSENWALD (1863-1932)… Rosenwald was the son of a Jewish immigrant peddler who never finished high school but rose to become president of Sears, Roebuck and Company. He became a major philanthropist who gave away $62 million in his lifetime, the equivalent of roughly $1 billion today. Rosenwald was deeply touched by the plight of African-Americans in the Jim Crow South, and it was to that community that he directed most of his generosity. He helped build 5,300 schools for blacks, especially in the South. Rosenwald was a member of the Chicago Sinai Congregation (Reform) and was inspired by its rabbi Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, a politically progressive Reform rabbi who helped establish the NAACP in 1909. Rosenwald funded agricultural programs in pre-state Palestine and supported some Jewish causes in Chicago, but his legacy was a major supporter to a race other than his own. He was known to be a strong anti-Zionist.

The Final Frontier: U.S.-Israel Space Cooperation For over three decades, the United States and Israel worked together to “boldly go” where only a few other countries have ventured—space. Two recent developments highlight the Jewish state’s pivotal role in the partnership to explore “the final frontier”—the NASA-Israel Space Agency (ISA) agreement in October 2015 and the introduction of the United States and Israel Space Cooperation Act in September 2016.

The U.S.-Israel space relationship began in 1985, when ISA and NASA began cooperating on several projects on a case-by-case basis. A decade later, the two agencies regularized cooperation and signed their first agreement outlining areas of mutual cooperation in the peaceful use of space. As a result, Israeli Air Force Col. Ilan Ramon was selected in 1997 to train in the United States with NASA. Ramon would become Israel’s first astronaut; his life and six others were tragically cut short in the 2003 Columbia space shuttle disaster.

In June 2011, three Israeli experiments took place on the Endeavor space shuttle. One was sent to the International Space Station (ISS), the first Israeli experiment to take place aboard the ISS.

And just last year, in October 2015, NASA and ISA formally entered into a new agreement to bolster collaboration on civil space activities. Under this deal, NASA will be able to utilize Israeli innovation and technology in U.S. space programs—including future missions to Mars and many other endeavors.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden praised the new accord, stating “Our two countries have had a long history of cooperation in space exploration, scientific discovery and research, and we look forward to the opportunities this new agreement provides us to build upon this partnership.”

Adding to this momentum, on Sept. 9, U.S. Reps. Derek Kilmer (D-WA), Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), Marc Veasey (D-TX) and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) introduced the United States and Israel Space Cooperation Act. This bipartisan legislation would advance space cooperation by encouraging collaboration between NASA and ISA scientists.

“Space plays a vital role in national security and is an important aspect of our everyday lives,” said Rep. Bridenstine. “Innovations in this area keep our citizens safe while enhancing their quality of life. This bill will allow us to continue advancing these goals alongside one of our greatest allies.”

“For decades, the United States has worked with our allies to pursue new frontiers in science and space,” said Rep. Kilmer. “This bill allows us to work with one of our key partners to continue that pursuit.”

As the United States and Israel strengthen their ties across many important areas, space exploration of “the final frontier” provides ample opportunity for the two allies to deepen their bilateral relationship for decades to come.
