The Inauguration of President Barack Obama for the second time was an extraor-

dinary moment. While the President's Inaugural Address articulated values which

some might dub as "liberal," or "progressive," he framed them more correctly as

American values. They are the values that have driven him through his life, and in-formed his career in public service. When he stood at the podium as the keynote

speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he recited the same inspiration

that he repeated in his address at this inauguration: "We hold these truths to be self-

evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with

certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Hap-

piness." Economic protection of the poor, and the weak, and those who are aging;

and social and legal protection of those who are gay, those who are female, those

who are new to American shores; these do not threaten our nation's stability, our

President observed, in fact they make America stronger. For President Obama, all

this is "self-evident." Now it is our job to bring it to fruition.Small miracles. . . . Within the ongoing string of celebratory inaugural events, there was one very small,

hardly noticeable moment that happened to catch my eye, but which for me was one of the most moving of the

whole day. At a certain point during all the toasts being offered at the end of the Congressional luncheon, the

President got up to shake the hand of one of the speakers. As the President returned to his seat, the waiter who

was assigned to stand behind him, an African American, I'd say in his early 70's, quickly and gently held the

chair and helped Mr. Obama back into his seat, quietly smiling as he did so. Can you imagine what must have

been going through the mind of that man at that moment? What has he seen in his life? What has he experi-

enced? And now he has the privilege of helping the President of the United States into his chair - a president

whose skin color is the same as his. The confluence of momentous events that day was extraordinary. On the

very day dedicated to the memory of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, 150 years after the Emancipation Proc-lamation and 50 years after Dr. King's March On Washington, an African American - a black man - has taken

the Oath of Office as President of the United States for the second time. At his 2004 DNC Keynote Address,

the then Senator Obama talked about "the genius of America" as growing out of its "faith in simple dreams," and

its "insistence on small miracles." In June of 1969, perhaps it would have seemed to be a small miracle beyond

the possibility of realization for those men at the Stonewall Bar in the Village, that a President, in his Inaugural

Address, would demand equality for gay Americans. When the fire hoses and dogs were unleashed in Selma,

was anyone imagining a day like this Inaugural? Perhaps for those women in 1848 at Seneca Falls, the sight of

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi at that Inaugural Luncheon podium couldn't even have entered their

minds. (I might add, if I may, that when I used to sit upstairs in shul as a little girl; well, you know. . . .)

For us. . . . Some events are less noticeable than others. But I would suggest that miracles are never small. Ifwe are to take anything away from that awe-inspiring day of the Inauguration of our President, it is to believe

in the possibilities of democracy, and the possibilities within ourselves. The world looked on as our dream of

human liberty and freedom played itself out in all its splendor. In the course of human progress, we can look

upon it as a miracle - a product of human rationality, indeed, but a miracle just the same.

We wish our President well, and all those who participate in governing our country. May all of us continue to

grow and prosper together.

What are we, as a temple,

doing for our children?

Your Board of Trustees, at

its January meeting, took a

huge step toward improv-

ing the quality and quantity

of youth programming

around here, for kids of all

ages. Union Temple is hir-

ing a Director of Youth and

Family Engagement, a to-

tally new position for us, to

start no later than July of

this year.

This person, a professional

Jewish educator, will, first

of all, serve as Principal of

the Religious School. This will provide continuity from year to year, as many

Religious School parents, both current and past, have requested. While we have

been fortunate in our recent principals, the position heretofore has been a one-

year assignment. A permanent principal can craft a multiyear curriculumdeepening students Jewish learning as they mature, build on whats working in

the classroom and form strong bonds with students and their families.

Our new Director will supervise and grow the high school and pre-Bar/Bat Mitz-

vah youth programs we have now, and develop new initiatives. This could in-

clude a college connection, to keep in touch with our young adult offspring, and

possibly an 8th grade program, similar to confirmation classes of years past.

I have to say, the Youth Group, in only its second year, has been an eye-opener.

The focus on social actiondelivering food to homeless on the streets, lobbying

in Washington for progressive causes, assisting the elderly has struck a chord

with teens and parents alike. Now, even without a youth leader (and we are close

to filling this position, too), the parents have stepped up magnificently to keep

the program going. The new Director will provide another level of supervision

and support for this key component of Temple life.

At the other end of the age spectrum, the Director

will take charge of programming for little kids. We

are into our second year with PJ Library, a nation-

wide initiative partnering with Union Temple to

send Jewish-themed books and CDs to neighbor-

hood kids from 6 months to 8 years old. We have a

Friday Tot Shabbat (Fridays at Four) and arelaunching Out of the Shabbox, an arts-based ac-

tivity session for toddlers and parents on Saturday

mornings. What great opportunities to showcase the

Temple, introducing a whole new set of families to

our world-class Preschool, ramped up Hebrew

School, deeply enriching Bar/Bat Mitzvah study

and the whole community. Making these connec-

tions will be a major focus for our new Director.

Many thanks to the Religious School and Pre-

school Committees for working out the particularsof this position over the past year, and especially

to Lorri Gumanov and Faye-White-Willinger

who, with Rabbi Goodman, crafted the job de-

scription that will land us our first Director of

Youth and Family Engagement.

This is going to be major.

Imagine a time and

place where Jews, Mos-

lems and Christians

were neighbors contrib-uting together to a great

community and culture.

An optimistic view of

Brooklyn today?

No, having just read

Maria Rosa Menocals

The Ornament of the

World, Im thinking of

medieval Spain. Its a

history made lively and

vivid with anecdotes

that bring people and

places to life. The book

begins with the lone sur-

vivor of a vanquished

Damascus dynasty flee-

ing west around the year

750, and beginning a

new Islamic caliphate

centered in Cordoba. In

another 200 years the

poetic culture and architecture of Cordoba were so splendid that it became known

as the ornament of the world.

Unfortunately for Cordoba, that golden age didnt last. An invasion of far more

fundamentalist Moslems (yes, back then, too) from northern Africa led to the ca-

liphate splitting into many rival city-states. And not just military rivalries, but ri-

valry in the greatness of their culture and architecture and economies.

A sprawling history, the book covers about seven and a half centuries, from the be-

ginnings of the Cordoba caliphate to the fall of Granada, last of the Moslem city-

states, and the expulsion in 1492. Along the way, we meet many leading Jewish

figures, and discover Jewish military generals and poets reviving the Hebrew lan-

guage for secular writing many centuries before the birth of modern Israel.

As time goes on, we witness Norman conquests not just of England and the

conquest of many Moslem city-states by the Christian Kingdom of Castile, and the

displacement of the Mozarabic culture with its Christian liturgy in Arabic (!) by

Latin language Catholic liturgy and Castilian culture.

But those amazing seven centuries of multicultural creativity, prosperity and in-

trigue in Spain deserve to be remembered, and Menocal gives us a remarkable ac-

count of them through the stories of many leading figures through the ages.

On Sunday morning, March 3, at 10 AM, I will lead a discussion about this very

special book. With bagels and coffee, of course! Everyone is welcome to join the

discussion.

The Jewish people have always known what it is like to be strangers after all, the Torah reminds us four

times that we were strangers in the land of Egypt. Although our plight as strangers has brought our people

much oppression and exclusion, it has also contributed to the uniqueness of Jewish culture, music, and art. In

exile, we were spread amongst communities across the globe, which allowed us to combine our Jewish identi-

ties and customs alongside regional influences. When the Zionist movement took root in the early twentieth

century, these different ethnic styles of Jewish music began to converge in the Jewish homeland, leading to thecreation of a brand new style of music. In particular, folk songs began to emerge as a manifestation of the bold

and carefree pioneering spirit ofEretz Yisrael. Although some of these folk songs incorporated elements of

popular European musical styles, the Zionists sought to create a musical genre that was different from what

anyone had ever heard before. These folk songs became such an integral part of early Zionistic culture that

they were used as promotional tools for encouraging Jewish resettlement of Palestine. In the 1920s and 1930s,

the Jewish National Fund distributed postcards with some of these folk melodies embossed on them. By print-

ing these postcards, JNF sought to make Jews in the Diaspora aware of burgeoning opportunities for freedom

and discovery in the new Palestine. The postcards attracted the attention of German musicologist Hans Nathan,

who sent letters to several of the most distinguished Jewish composers of his time with the hope that they

would arrange several of these pieces for piano and voice. Composers like Kurt Weill, Darius Milhaud, StefanWolpe, Aaron Copland, Paul Dessau, and Ernst Toch, Menashe Rabinowitz, and Erich Walter Sternberg were

commissioned to write one or more compositions for what became known as the Postcard Project. Each com-

poser placed his personal stamp on these distinctively Israeli pieces, thereby demonstrating his own relation-

ship with Israel and with Judaism.

The thesis that I have submitted as part of the requirements for my ordination in May, called A Stranger Here

Myself: The Postcard Project as an Exploration of Twentieth-Century Jewish Musical Identity, is focused on

the lives and works of the composers involved in creating these folk song arrangements. On Wednesday Feb-

ruary 20th at 10:45am in the chapel at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, 1 West 4th

Street in Manhattan, I will present a recital that celebrates the culmination of my research and my up-

coming ordination. It will include selections from the Postcard Project and other works by these com-posers, both Jewish and secular. I invite you all, and hope you can attend. The program will include a

sampling of early compositions that these composers wrote while living in Europe, including arrangements of

Yiddish folk melodies and adaptations of Biblical texts. I will also be presenting some of their liturgical works,

many of which were specifically commissioned to bring people into synagogues to hear new Jewish music by

famous secular composers. Most of the composers involved in the Postcard Project eventually settled in the

United States, and the final segment of my recital will examine the dual influences of their Jewish and Ameri-

can identities on their work. Just as these composers all arranged Israeli folk themes, many of them espe-

cially Copland and Weillalso integrated American folk melodies into their art songs, operas, and musicals.

Exploring secular and liturgical works in tandem with the postcard arrangements will offer a more complete

sense of the lives and work of these renowned composers. Of particular interest will be how their position as

strangers in their countries of origin affected their rise to artistic prominence.

Overall, my thesis and recital examine the ways in which the Postcard Project demonstrates several important

concepts: The fusion of music and identity amongst Jewish composers, the differing attitudes towards the re-

settlementEretz Yisrael, and the continued development of Israels national identity. This spirit is captured in

Israels music, both past and present. I sincerely hope that you will join me on February 20th to see these ideas

in action.

Preschool

One of the special programs at

Union Temple Preschool is our

collaborative arts program with

the Brooklyn Museum. Our four

year olds participate in this pro-

gram which links classroom vis-

its by a museum educator and

visits to the Brooklyn Museum. The children participate in seven units

that span the school year. As part of this program, our fours classes, The

Hummingbirds and Puffins, are currently working on an artist unit;

"Learning from the Masters".

The children have learned about and have been inspired by Picasso, Jack-

son Pollock and Mary Cassatt's artwork over the past few weeks. Kristen,

our Brooklyn Museum educator, visited Union Temple and taught the

children about Picasso's "Blue Period". She

demonstrated and then had the children mix

different shades of blue by combining differ-

ent amounts of white and green paint. The

children then painted a Blue period- inspired

piece using the new shades they created.

They also did a similar project with Picasso's"Rose period". They made different shades of

red by combining different amounts of white

and orange paint.

During their museum visit Kristen showed

the children Picasso's "Woman in Gray" and

Josef Albers Yellow Squares. It was a great

experience for the children to see a painting

come alive and experience a Picasso in real

life! As a culminating project, the class-

rooms will create their own art museums dis-playing the artwork they created. Parents will

be invited in for a special viewing.

What a year weve been

having in Religious

School! As you may

remember, in addition to

Hebrew studies, wevebeen focusing on the

American Jewish Ex-

perience. Our strategy

has been to highlight

significant accomplish-

ments by American

Jews that have helped

make this nation great.

Wit has been gratifying

to see the children com-

ing to realize that Amer-

ica, indeed the entire

world, would be a very

different place were it

not for the ongoing con-

tributions of its Jewish

citizens.

Some examples of birth-

days that we have cele-

brated, and the lessons

we derived from them

include:

When Ralph Lau-

ren and Isaac Miz-

rachi shared a birth-

day one week, we

learned about the

irreplaceable contri-

butions made by

Jews in the Ameri-

can fashion indus-try and in our own

Citys Garment

District. We also

discussed the myr-

iad of ways each of

us might express

our multiple identi-

ties to the world.

Religious School

When the birthdays of Curley Howard (Three Stooges) and Gummo Marx

(Marx Brothers) fell just a day apart the next week, we talked about the ability

of humor to help cope with personal challenges, such as poverty, immigrant

status, and anti-Semitism. We also got to laugh a bunch at some hilarious

movie clips that are every bit as funny today as they were seventy years ago.

On the anniversary of the dedication of the statue of Liberty, we learned about

Emma Lazarus and learned from her example about the Jewish expectation

that we reach out to welcome the stranger in our midst without hesitation.

The first Sunday after Hurricane Sandy we celebrated the birthday of Ruth

Messinger and learned how Judaism has driven her to such heights in her

work with the American Jewish World Service.

For the week of Veterans Day, we admired the accomplishments of Jewish

veterans from the American Military. We also highlighted the career of Un-

ion Temples own Colonel David Mickey Marcus. In the beginning of December, when Otto Preminger, Ira Gershwin, and

Sammy Davis, Jr. all shared birthdays in the same week, we hit the Porgy &

Bess trifecta (Preminger the director, Gershwin the lyricist, and Davis one of

the stars), which led to a discussion of the personal Jewish understanding of

the oppressed, and the inner need to speak out so others can listen.

For Steven Spielbergs birthday we explored the value of preserving our sto-

ries for future generations. We also learned about the good works of his

Righteous Persons Foundation.

For Eliezer Ben Yehudas Birthday (the first non-American catalyst to a

weekly theme), we talked not only about the rebirth of spoken Hebrew, but

also about the awesome power of language itself.

When addressing the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we focused

on the Reform Movements own Rabbi David Sapperstein and the Religious

Action Center, with special attention to the RACs invaluable contributions to

the cause of civil rights.

What has tied each of these weekly themes together, besides the fact that they

have all been fun and interesting, is that they have provided ways for us to dig

deep into Jewish lessons of virtuous behavior. Thanks to the examples pro-

vided by these outstanding Jewish Americans, our children are inching(running?) closer and closer to becoming mature and responsible Jews them-

selves who value and are committed to the Jewish call for righteous behavior as

described in the texts, histories, and traditions of our people. Our students make

us proud on a consistent basis.

LShalom,
