From Rabbi Atkins’ Desk Early in April, at a

Friday night service, we

had as a guest speaker

Michal Abramoff, who is

a shalicha, a

representative of Israel,

for our Greater Hartford

Jewish community. She is a

knowledgeable and capable young

woman, well able to present

information and inspiring teachings

on Israel today. It was a wonderful

presentation by our Israel Affairs

Committee, headed by Leon Carr.

Throughout the year, Michal has

been working towards the

community-wide celebration of Yom

HaAtzmaut, Israel Independence

Day. The exact day on the Hebrew

calendar is the 5th of Iyar, but when

that falls on a Friday, as it does this

year, the observance is moved

forward one day to avoid the

celebration running into Shabbat. So

the day for celebrating is actually

Iyar 4, May 12th. Let me review with

you the basic facts re the birth of

Israel:

On May 14, 1948, the fifth day of

the month of Iyar on the Jewish

calendar, Jewish leaders gathered in

Tel Aviv to sign the Declaration of

the Establishment of the State of

Israel—Israel's Declaration of

Independence.

This extraordinary document states,

"By virtue of our natural and historic

right and on the strength of the

resolution of the United Nations

General Assembly, [we] hereby

declare the establishment of a

Jewish state in Eretz-Israel, to be

known as the State of Israel."

With this bold declaration, the

modern State of Israel was born. And

so it is that every year at this time

Israel Independence Day is

observed. Yom HaAtzmaut, as it is

known in Hebrew, is a day of

jubilation—a day for Jews to mark

the re-establishment of their

sovereign nation after generations of

exile, and to celebrate the history

and accomplishments of the modern

State of Israel.

From the very beginning, Israel

extended a hand of friendship to

neighboring states, encouraging

them, as Israel's Declaration of

Independence puts it, to "establish

bonds of cooperation and mutual

help with the sovereign Jewish

people." Despite this, most of

Israel's neighbors still do not

recognize the Jewish state. Some, in

fact, are preparing themselves for

the day that they can, in the words of

the Iranian president, "wipe Israel off

the map."

Even in the West, with its values

of democracy and personal liberty —

values fully embraced by Israel —

her legitimacy is routinely

questioned in academic circles, on

newspaper op-ed pages, and even in

some churches. Almost seventy

years after its birth, it seems Israel is

still the only nation on earth that is

continually called on to justify its

existence.

For Israelis and friends of Israel—

indeed, for any fair-minded person

who values democracy and

freedom—Israel Independence Day

should be, first and foremost, a day

for celebration. On this day, let's

thank God for a nation that stands as

a beacon of democracy in the midst

of authoritarian regimes… for a

nation where every day scientific

and technological advances are

made that benefit the entire world…

While Israel's Arab neighbors

reacted with hostility to the founding

of the Jewish state, the U.S. became

the first nation to recognize Israel. I

like to remember that the man

primarily responsible for this was a

devoted Christian—President Harry

S. Truman.

In Truman's administration, there

were those who spoke forcefully

against U.S. recognition of the new

Jewish state. One of these, Secretary

of State James Forrestal, summed

up this viewpoint by saying, "There

are thirty million Arabs on one side

and about six hundred thousand

Jews on the other. It is clear that in

any contest, the Arabs are going to

overwhelm the Jews. Why don't you

face up to the realities? Just look at

the numbers!"

Harry Truman was not without

his faults. He occasionally displayed

in his private correspondence some

of the anti-Semitic prejudices that

were all too prevalent at that time.

But, ultimately, it is to his everlasting

credit that, as far as the right of

Israel to exist was concerned,

Truman was unimpressed by "the

numbers."

In his memoirs, Clark Clifford,

who was special counsel to Truman,

remembers Truman's strong

counterpoint to Forrestal's position:

"From [Truman's] youth, he had

detested intolerance and

discrimination. He had been deeply

moved by the plight of the millions

of homeless of World War II, and felt

that alone among the homeless, the

Jews had no homeland of their own

to which they could return."

Truman never regretted his

decision to recognize the Jewish

state—a move he took just eleven

minutes after Israel declared its

independence. "I had faith in Israel

before it was established, I have faith

in it now," he said in 1952. "I believe

it has a glorious future before it—not

just another sovereign nation, but as

an embodiment of the great ideals of

our civilization."

The Mandell JCC has printed a

beautiful brochure describing the

many activities planned the week of

May 8-15. Copies are available either

online or at the Synagogue. I invite

you to

CELEBRATE THE 68th

ANNIVERSARY OF THE

Rabbi Gary Atkins, Your Rabbi


The President’s Column

Over the last few months, Beth Hillel has had some setbacks. Our first set back was the announcement of Rabbi Atkins retiring on June 30, 2016. Although we will miss Rabbi Atkins as he enjoys his retirement, we as a synagogue must move forward. Our rabbi search committee has completed all the necessary paper work and submitted the materials to the Rabbinical Assembly. I am happy to say that we have already received some resumes. The committee will be reviewing the resumes and setting up interviews. The second setback is that our computer system crashed. Since that fateful day, the system has been running well one day, and then down the next. As I write this, the computers are being worked on and hopefully the problem will be solved. I would like to personally apologize for any inconveniences that may have occurred. Our third setback was that the sale of our building to The Word Empowerment Ministries fell through. The bank who issued the financing, with a contingency, has pulled the financing. Apparently, the church was unable to meet

the contingency. I am still in touch with another church that showed an interest in our building. Even with this latest setback, our Future Planning Committee is still moving forward. If you have not sent in your questionnaire to the committee, please do so. Your opinion does matter. There are many programs scheduled for May. Friday, May 13

th is the annual

Morrison Shabbat Dinner. Please SAVE THE DATE and enjoy Shabbat Dinner with your friends here at the synagogue. Sunday, May 15

th is our annual

fundraiser featuring the music of The Hot Cat Jazz Band. By now, you have all received information about this exciting event. We really need you to participate by attending and placing an ad in our journal. Wednesday, May 18

th is Sisterhood’s annual

Spaghetti Dinner and Fashion Show. Enjoy the beautiful fashions, and the top notch waiters who will be there to serve you. The following week we have our annual Congregational Meeting, Thursday, May 26. This will be your chance to have your say. All in all, a very busy month. I mentioned at the

beginning of this article that Rabbi Atkins is retiring. His last Shabbat with Beth Hillel will be June 17-18. Please come and join him as he davens for the last time as our rabbi. Hope to see you all soon. Alan
