This trip was generously subsidized by the Jewish Federation of Greater Daytons Innovation grants and Tem- ple Beth Or. Etgar 36 is an organi- zation which sponsors educational civil rights excursions throughout the country. Our itin- erary included many sites including the Rosa Parks Mu- seum in Montgomery, Birminghams Civil Rights Insti- tute, Atlantas Aids Quilt Project, and the Ebenezer Bap- tist Church. In each place, history came alive. But no exhibit could possibly convey the power that we felt upon meeting living sources the inspirational witnesses who de- scribed their own personal plights and heroism during the 1960’s Civil Rights battles in our nations Deep South. In Selma Alabama, we met Joanne Bland, who spoke to us at the Brown Chapel African Methodist Epis- copal Church. From this very spot, Joanne and her friends from SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordina- tion Committee, headed out on their historic trek over the Edmund Pettus Bridge and on to Montgomery to demand voting rights which had heretofore been denied to African Americans. In Birmingham Alabama, we met Bishop Calvin Woods, Sr., an 84-year-old pastor who worked with Baptist Minister Fred Shuttlesworth, one of Birminghams most prominent civil rights activists, to organize non-violent Birmingham protests against ra- cial segregation and injustice. Participating in these protests were hundreds of children, some as young as six years old. When the media picked up images of these children knocked unconscious by fire hoses and tram- pled and bitten by snarling dogs, many Americans were startled out of their apathy towards civil rights issues for the first time. New for us this year was a visit to the Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace in Justice (in Mont- gomery Alabama). "The Legacy Museum: From Enslave- ment to Mass Incarcerationis built on the site of a for- mer warehouse where enslaved black people were im- prisoned on their way to the slave market. It contains a poignant exhibit of nearly 300 jars of soil from Ameri- can lynching sites. A few blocks away, the National Me- morial for Peace and Justice features more than 800 steel monuments, one for each location where a racial terror lynching took place, inscribed with the names of victims. A monument park outside the structure holds a field of identical monuments to be claimed and installed in the counties they represent. While we wish that racial hatred were a thing of the past, a mere history lesson, we are well aware that to- day we still have the KKK marching in our streets fo- menting the very same hatred and intolerance of a half- century ago! I can only pray that our youth took to heart Joanne Blands stirring reminder: Youre the ones who have to make this world better for your babies. No one else is going to do it for you! Will you promise me youll do it?And they did.

Justice is a Constant Struggle This spring, Temple Beth Or high school students embarked on our sec-ond Etgar 36 Civil Rights Journey into the Deep South with peers from Temple Israel and teenagers from Chicago’s Congregation Hakafah. This trip was generously subsidized by the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton’s Innovation grants and Tem-

ple Beth Or. Etgar 36 is an organi-zation which sponsors educational

civil rights excursions throughout the country. Our itin-erary included many sites including the Rosa Parks Mu-seum in Montgomery, Birmingham’s Civil Rights Insti-tute, Atlanta’s Aids Quilt Project, and the Ebenezer Bap-tist Church. In each place, history came alive. But no exhibit could possibly convey the power that we felt upon meeting living sources … the inspirational witnesses who de-scribed their own personal plights and heroism during the 1960’s Civil Rights battles in our nation’s Deep South. In Selma Alabama, we met Joanne Bland, who spoke to us at the Brown Chapel African Methodist Epis-copal Church. From this very spot, Joanne and her friends from SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordina-tion Committee, headed out on their historic trek over the Edmund Pettus Bridge and on to Montgomery to demand voting rights which had heretofore been denied to African Americans. In Birmingham Alabama, we met Bishop Calvin Woods, Sr., an 84-year-old pastor who worked with Baptist Minister Fred Shuttlesworth, one of Birmingham’s most prominent civil rights activists, to organize non-violent Birmingham protests against ra-cial segregation and injustice. Participating in these protests were hundreds of children, some as young as six years old. When the media picked up images of these children knocked unconscious by fire hoses and tram-pled and bitten by snarling dogs, many Americans were startled out of their apathy towards civil rights issues for the first time.

New for us this year was a visit to the Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace in Justice (in Mont-gomery Alabama). "The Legacy Museum: From Enslave-ment to Mass Incarceration” is built on the site of a for-mer warehouse where enslaved black people were im-prisoned on their way to the slave market. It contains a poignant exhibit of nearly 300 jars of soil from Ameri-can lynching sites. A few blocks away, the National Me-morial for Peace and Justice features more than 800 steel monuments, one for each location where a racial terror lynching took place, inscribed with the names of victims. A monument park outside the structure holds a field of identical monuments to be claimed and installed in the counties they represent. While we wish that racial hatred were a thing of the past, a mere history lesson, we are well aware that to-day we still have the KKK marching in our streets fo-menting the very same hatred and intolerance of a half-century ago! I can only pray that our youth took to heart Joanne Bland’s stirring reminder: “You’re the ones who have to make this world better for your babies. No one else is going to do it for you! Will you promise me you’ll do it?” And they did.

Fighting Hate at Home

On May 25th, our community will be tested: a group of demonstrators from an Indiana-based affiliate of the KKK will be holding a rally downtown at Courthouse Square. From what I’ve seen and heard, people are planning to respond on that day in one of three main ways. First, there are those who are choosing to avoid the rally entirely.

The thinking behind this approach is that since the KKK-group is looking for a confrontation, we’d be wise not to engage with them. In other words, if we engage, we give them precisely what they want. Second, there are those who intend to respond in an opposite manner—to directly confront the KKK. As I’ve heard it enunciated, the idea is that it doesn’t mat-ter whatsoever if we give the KKK what they want…what matters is fighting injustice when we see it, and the Ku Klux Klan is injustice personified. Third, there are those staking out a middle path, opt-ing not to ignore the KKK, but also not to directly confront them. Led by the NAACP, these are groups who are planning “positive alternative programming,” a peaceful celebration of our local diversity, in the hopes of denying the KKK the opportunity to frame Dayton’s story on the 25th as one of hate and division. So, what to do? I would be lying were I to say that I don’t have a preference amongst these three options. All of them reflect our legitimate, emotionally sensi-tive impulses to respond to a real crisis. In their ef-fects, though, they are not all equal nor necessarily advisable. In some other world, the second approach—directly confronting the KKK at Courthouse Square—might make sense or be praiseworthy. However, as of now, it isn’t wise to follow it. Courthouse Square will be a powder keg on the 25th. Not only will the KKK be present, but there will likely be thousands of angry counter-protestors there, many bused in from around

the region. I trust our local police to ensure Dayton not become the next Charlottesville, but I still would-n’t recommend someone I loved place themselves in such a situation. The first approach also may appear attractive, and it is, for what it’s worth, infinitely safer than direct con-frontation. I wouldn’t begrudge anyone the choice to stay home when a hate group is in town rallying. However, it is worth asking: If the KKK demonstra-tors will be at Courthouse Square, and if it is unavoid-able that large numbers of counter-protestors will be directly confronting them (and such people will be there), then does our choice to stay home actually help us to protect or improve our town? I think the third approach is the best option we have available to us at this time. If you do not plan to stay home on the 25th and feel like you should be “doing something,” then you should be at the NAACP-led program at McIntosh Park. This program has the sup-port of more than two dozen community partners, in-cluding the local government (Mayor Whaley’s of-fice), the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department, YWCA Dayton, and the Jewish Community Relations Council. It is worth mentioning, too, that my concerns about safety for this program have been allayed in multiple conversations with local police leadership. I have been assured that law enforcement is monitoring the situation and feels prepared to keep everything safe at McIntosh Park. However we each choose to respond to the KKK’s visit, this experience certainly constitutes a test of our-selves and our community. It is imperative that we make careful choices to keep ourselves safe; Judaism values the preservation of life above almost anything else. Simultaneously, though, this is a rare moment when our actions and choices very clearly lay bare our values. It is important that we show the world that the KKK may have chosen us, but we would never choose them.

Student Appreciation On Friday, May 10th at 6:30 p.m., join us at the Oakwood Graeter's (2412 Far Hills Ave) for a special STU-DENT Appreciation Shabbat. We will have a shortened, musical Shabbat service, and Rabbi Ballaban will treat all Makor children to a free scoop of ice cream. Let's close out the year celebrating how good and sweet (literally!) it is for us to be together.

Teacher Appreciation We will be trying something new this year: On our second-to-last Sunday of Makor, May 5th, we will cele-brate a re-envisioned TEACHER Appreciation Day. Please come on in for a special program at the start of our day, ready to wish all of our teachers a big "THANK YOU" for their hard work!

Join Us for a Nosh

Makor parents are invited and encouraged to stick around after drop off on the first and third Sundays of each month. Boston Stoker coffee will be offered at $1.00 per cup, as will be Barry’s Bagels with cream cheese. (Only when Makor is in session.)

Send in Your Grads It’s a busy time for our youth as they enter the homestretch of the school year! Temple Beth Or would like to congratulate members who have a graduate this year. All graduates will be rec-ognized in the June issue of The Light. Please send information and a photo of your graduate to [email protected] by May 18. Include the next step they plan. College graduates and non-traditional students are welcome too!

Our Makor Year is Nearly at its End There are only a two days left in our Makor year: May 5th and 12th. As we begin the spring and enjoy some nicer weather, make sure to bring your kids in so they can wrap up another year of learning on a high note!

Register Your Children for Makor Early, Get a Price Break

The tuition for Makor will be increasing a modest amount next year ($50 per child) to help us keep our books balanced. However, there's good news: If you register your children for Makor by the final day of Makor, May 12th, you can lock in last year's rates! Registration details will be coming out shortly, so keep a lookout.

Yom Ha'Atzmaut Community Event with Rick Recht We are so excited that Rick Recht will be joining Dayton's Jewish community at the CJCE on Thursday, May 9th at 5:30 p.m., to celebrate Israel on Y om Ha'Atzma'ut! The JCC, hosting this event, would love to have stu-dents in grades kindergarten through sixth grade sing with him on stage and create an awesome community event! For more details, contact Meryl Hattenbach at [email protected].

Rock Out at Our Community Yom Ha’Atzmaut Celebra-tion with Jewish Rockstar, Rick Recht!

Art and Music Café The Second Annual Art and Music Café on Saturday, April 13th was a suc-cess! Nine artists and photographers showed their wares, and the open stage set-ting encouraged additional talents from our congregation and community to sing, play instruments and just plain have fun! A very special thank you to the Lynda A. Cohen Yiddish Club for their extra support and for helping us lead heart-warming and nostalgic sing-a-longs throughout the evening. Contributing artists: Madalyn Ammons, Dr. Judy Chesen, Andy Fischer, Lor-raine Fortner, Jonathan Frank, Renate Frydman (providing “Anschel’s Story” and artwork of Brian Appel), Stephen Goldberg, Dave London and David Rothschild.

Several months of preparation by Annette Nathan (food, food and more yummy FOOD!) and Marc Gilbert (who shared his musical talents throughout the evening with a wide span of music through the ages), Karen and Kevin Bressler, and my husband Lynn Rogers and me, all paid off with the reward of a full house of en-thusiastic and arts-loving friends. See you next year for the Third Annual Art and Music Café!

Identity Theft

Connections for Seniors and the Adult Education Committee will be joining together to offer everyone an informative program on identity theft. Our own security specialist, Dave Williams, will be presenting this exciting program on Tuesday, May 14th from 7:00-9:00 p.m. He will be discussing the different scams used in identity theft.

Anschel's Story: Determined to Survive

Adult Education presents Renate Frydman, Ph.D. discussing her book based upon her late husband's story entitled: "Anschel's Story: Determined to Survive." This book describes the heart-stopping journey of years,

Charles Frydman's unusual courage and uncanny luck. It is the true story of a young teen-ager who lost everyone and everything during the Holocaust. He fought to live on in spite of ghettos, fatal line ups, enslavement in work camps and years of survival as a partisan in Polish forests. Renate has worked as a contributing writer for the Dayton Daily News for 30 years. She has been involved with Holocaust education and remembrance from the 1960's until the present. Renate is curator of and docent for the Holocaust Exhibit, "Prejudice and

Memory," at the Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton which has over a million visitors a year. Her book “Anschel's Story: Determined to Live” is a tribute to the man she was married to for 51 years. We are honored and thrilled to have Renate speak to our congregation, on Sunday, May 19, at 10 a.m. Light refreshments will be served.

Hear Ye Here Ye “Hear Ye, Hear Ye,” the Town Crier used to call out back in the day when he had something to say. Well, I would like to change that call out

to our Temple Members to “Hear Ye, Here Ye,” to announce Temple Beth Or’s Annual Meeting and Appreciation Breakfast. “Hear Ye, Here Ye,” the Temple Board cries out, because we want to hear from you here at Temple on Sunday, June 2nd at 10:00am. Again, this year the Board will be cooking pancakes to thank all of our Members for a great Temple year. Thank you for volunteering, thank you for donating, and thank you for being involved as a Member of Temple Beth Or. This has been a year of positive changes, some proactive and some reactive. But all have been to move the Temple forward. The Temple Board wanted this to be a year of listening, and we are not done yet. Please come to the Annual Meeting with your questions and your ideas for progress. We want to hear from you. So that we can hear from ye, we need ye to be here at Temple on June 2nd. We will look forward to hearing your feedback and input on the past, current and future changes for Temple. Hearing from you and then acting upon your ideas is what continues to move Temple Beth Or forward, Today . . . and for Generations.

President’s Post

Jewish War Veterans to Honor Fallen Comrades for Memorial Day

Please join members of Jewish War Veterans Post 587 in honoring our deceased Jewish veterans for Memorial Day. American flags will be placed on each veteran’s grave at the four Jewish cemeteries in the Dayton area. Jewish War Veterans (JWV) will provide the flags and the community is invited to participate. Flags will be placed at Beth Jacob cemetery on Friday, May 17th at 10:00 a.m. and at Temple Beth Or cemetery at 1:00 p.m. Then on Sunday, May 19th, they will be placed at Beth Abraham and Temple Israel cemeteries at 10:00 a.m.. The Post 587 bugler will play Taps at Temple Beth Or and Beth Jacob cemeteries after flags are placed. Other veteran and civic groups will place flags at other cemeteries. JWV keeps a list of Jewish veterans buried at these cemeteries and places a permanent flag holder at each veteran’s grave to acknowledge their service. These holders are essential for helping to find each veteran’s grave quickly so it can receive a flag. However, these markers occasionally get lost through routine cemetery maintenance and vandalism. Please help to ensure your loved one’s military service is recognized. If the grave of a loved one who served in the U.S. military and is buried at one of Dayton’s Jewish cemeteries lacks a flag holder, please contact the JWV Commander, Steve Markman, at 937-886-9566. JWV will ensure that a flag holder and flag are placed on the grave in time for Memorial Day. Also, please help discourage the theft of veteran’s flag holders. These items are funded by Montgomery County and the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton for the sole purpose of being placed on the graves of our veterans. The theft of these items is a criminal offense, as is the resale or purchase, if stolen. Metal recyclers have been advised not to purchase these as scrap. Retail stores can sell these items new, but if you ever see them for sale in used condition or in the possession of anyone for any other use, please report this to the Mont-gomery County Veterans Service Commission. It is one additional way to help honor deceased veterans for their military service.
