Rabbis Message An AnniversaryOn November 13, 1961, a special tribute was held in the White House Rose

Garden in honor of the new Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in

Washington, DC. The historic Isaac Mayer Wise Temple in Cincinnati, OH,

known familiarly as The Plum Street Temple, donated the Torah that wasin turn presented President Kennedy. The Torah was given to honor the

lasting contribution of American Jews to the moral fabric of American soci-

ety. President Kennedy noted, I think this symbolizes the happy relationswhich exist between all religious groups and must continue to exist in this

country if we are to be worthy of our heritage.

Some four decades later, in December of 2001, less than three months after

the 9/11 attacks, some five thousand Reform Jews gathered in Boston for theBiennial Convention of the Union for Reform Judaism. In one of the high-

lights of that convention, the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy entered the

convention hall accompanied by his nephew, Former Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III. Senator Kennedywalked down the aisle carrying the Torah that had been presented to his brother forty years earlier. The day

after this procession, the Torah was read during the Biennial Shabbat Morning Service.

In 1959, Rabbi Eugene Lipman, zl, the then Director of the UAHCs Commission on Social Action, an-

nounced the project to build the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism with funds donated for that pur-pose by Kivie Kaplan, the then President of the NAACP, and his wife Emily. On December 1, 1962, the

RACs building was officially dedicated at 2027 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, in Washington, DC. The guests

at the dedication included Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, UAHC President Rabbi Maurice Eisen-drath, NAACP Board of Directors Chairman Bishop Stephen Spottswood, (soon-to-be Senator) Howard Met-

zenbaum, and Kivie and Emily Kaplan. A number of civil rights and public interest organizations were housed

at the Center.

The 1964 landmark Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act were both drafted in the RAC's confer-ence room by Jewish, African-American, and other civil rights leaders. Since that time, the RAC has been the

beating heart of our Movement, a source of leadership, and a center of education for all. Its directors have in-cluded Rabbi Richard Hirsch, Rabbi Balfour Brickner, zl, and its current director, the indefatigable Rabbi

David Saperstein. For the past 50 years the RAC has been at the forefront of virtually every social justice is-

sue and humanitarian concern on the national and international stage.

The RAC has designated the weekend of January 14-16 as the official celebration of its Golden Anniversary.It is altogether appropriate that this coincide with the weekend on which the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin

Luther King, Jr. is celebrated. Perhaps more than any other constituency, the RAC stood shoulder to shoulder

with those in the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.

We will celebrate this auspicious double anniversary with a tribute to the RAC. The RAC has provided thecongregations of the Reform Movement with a brief video, and a sampling of study materials to deepen our

understanding and appreciation of the RACs role in shaping our Movement and our lives as American Reform

Jews. I hope you will join us on Friday, January 13, for this significant celebration. We at Union Temple joinwith our fellow Reform Jews as we salute and pay tribute to the RAC, and wish all connected with it continued

energy and success.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

Happy New Year to all from the Officers. At Union Temple, we are looking forward to another productive

year in 2011. We expect that our renaissance trend will continue. It is that time again for resolutions for theupcoming year. Im sure everyone will commit to eating healthier and exercising more. But in addition, here

are some resolutions, or perhaps hopes and wishes, for 2011, all of which require the help and commitment

from all of you:

1. Lets increase membership by at least a net of ten families. We are poised for growth, so lets all commit

to doing what needs to be done to make it happen.

2. Lets commit to attracting more young families by better addressing their needs and interests. My gen-

eration started the pre-school, which is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary year. We have a wonderful

program led by Susan Sporer. Lets do a better job of transitioning those families into Temple member-

ship. We would love to hear from the younger families ideas on how to accomplish this.

3. Lets continue to improve the religious school. We have a new Religious School Principal this year, and

she is making great changes. We hope that more of the parents will participate in the religious school

committee, so that your needs can better be addressed.

4. Lets increase participation in services. We have wonderful services, some early, some later. We foundthat by having a discussion on Fourth Fridays, we greatly increased attendance at those services. What

can we do to accomplish this for the other services. We want to hear your ideas.

5. Lets increase participation in programming. The funding we received for the Synaplex Shabbot pilot

is over. But that should not affect our programming. Give us your ideas and energy, and we can keep

providing the kinds of programs that have been so popular these last few years.

We wish for a safe, happy, productive 2011 for our community. The more people who commit to participa-

tion, the better the year will be.

Fourth Friday Friday January 28, 2011. We resume Fourth Fridays in January with a fascinating discus-

sion. Marian Dreyfus will tell us about her trip to Berlin and Eastern Europe. Dinner will be at 7 PM (makesure you call the Temple office to let us know if you are eating with us). Services at 8 PM and Oneg with Mrs.

Dreyfus following services. We hope to see you there.

It's January, the month we make all those optimisticresolutions for the new year. We hope one of yours

will be to attend the great programs Sisterhood has

planned for 2011. Start by warming up your winterwith us on Sunday, January 9th, at 10 AM. Sheila

Soloff will lead us in a thought-provoking discussion

of The New York Times bestseller Sarahs Key byTatiana de Rosnay. This intriguing, suspenseful novel

is the heart-stirring story of a ten-year-old Jewish girl

ensnared in France's cruel and savage Vel d'Hivandthe painful secrets that link her life to that of an

American journalist investigating the horrors 60 years

after the end of World War II. Haven't read the book?

No problem. Our engrossing, wide-ranging discus-sions include everyone. As at all our events, there will

be caring and sharingand lots of goodies to eat.

After you mark your calendar for January 9th, turn the

page and circle February 6th. At 10 AM that morn-ing, Sisterhood will join with Brotherhood in welcom-

ing Michael Stolowitzky, who, as a child, was saved

from the imminent threat of Nazi extermination by hisnanny, the Righteous Christian Gertruda Babilinska.

Their chilling, unforgettable story is revealed in the

riveting book Gertrudas Oath: A Child, a Promise,and a Heroic Escape During World War II by RamOren. You won't want to miss this unique opportunity

to meet and hear this extraordinary man.

We thank Jannette Katz for organizing the BikkurCholim Training Session presented by Sisterhood andBrotherhood in December. We are especially grateful

to the representatives from the Jewish Board of Fam-

ily and Children's Services who designed the programfor Union Temple and who taught us how to relax and

be truly supportive to those who need our comfort and

encouragement when they are ill.

Sisterhood wishes everyone a happy, healthy, prosper-

ous new year. May 2011 be a year of blessings and

peace for all of us, and for our nation and our world.

-Barbara Brett, Recording Secretary

Sisterhood Book Your January

Happy New Year 2011! And thank you to all who participated in the

Brotherhoods activities in autumn 2010 sukkah building, book discus-sions, and the Brotherhood-SisterhoodHavdalah and bikur holim train-

ing.Brotherhood and Sisterhood will be getting together again on Sunday,

February 6th, for a book discussion breakfast featuring speaker MichaelStolowitzky. Gertrudas Oath by Ram Oren tells the story ofStolowitzky and his Polish Catholic nanny, Gertruda Babilinska. In

1939, after the German invasion, she promised Stolowitzkys dyingmother that she would bring him from Warsaw to Palestine and give him

a Jewish upbringing. Orens account of the adventures and challenges

they faced in keeping that promise is hard to put down, and Im looking

forward to hearing the story from Stolowitzky himself.

The Brotherhood Shabbat service and luncheon, one of the highlights of

our year, will be on Saturday, March 12th. Ill soon be contacting Broth-

erhood members about planning and participating in our special service.

Again, best wishes for 2011!

Preschool Going on 20Winter has been filled with celebrations at the preschool. During the month of December we celebrated Chanu-

kah in our classrooms. We lit menorahs and played with wooden menorahs, dreidels and pretend latkes. We alsocreated a lot of Chanukah art, such as painted menorahs, clay menorahs and Chanukah collages. Our pre-

schoolers loved chopping up apples for applesauce and singing Chanukah songs (I had a Little Driedel, Lots

of Latkes, Sevivon). Each of our classes also had a Chanukah Luncheon for their families. Rabbi Goodman,who led the festivities, brought along a collection of beautiful menorahs. She showed the kids two different New

York City menorahs. One menorah had a scene from the lower East Side complete with Brownstones, and the

other depicted larger New York City landmarks. She also captivated the children with a beautiful wind-up musi-

cal dreidel.

We will be celebrating

the 20th Anniversary of

the founding of the pre-school this winter and are

currently planning a

party. The celebrationwill take place on Sun-

day, January 30th

from

3:00-6:00pm; we are

reaching out to all of ourcurrent and past preschool

families and Temple

members to join us. Therewill be Klezmer music,hors doeuvres, cham-

pagne, as well as activi-ties for the children. If

Religious School Chanukah!The UT Religious School has been in Chanukah mode. We have so much to celebrate in this season of light

during the darkest days of the winter.

Chanukah celebrates the right to freedom for all peoples. The festival affirms the declaration of the prophet

Zechariah (5:6), the text of which our parents, kids and teachers sang during Family Learning: "Not by mightand not by power, but by spirit alone (Hebrew: ruah) shall we all live in peace."

Our families attended the Intergenerational Chanukah Party that UT ran with the Jewish Board of Family and

Children's Services on December 5th. Ari, who teaches Kitah Alef (first and second graders) helped peoplemake candy dreidels and menorahs from marshmallows, chocolate chips and pretzels. David, who teaches Ki-tah Bet (third and fourth grades) helped people create Chanukah pop-up cards to give to their friends and fam-

ily. Rachel, who teaches Kitah Gimel (fifth, sixth and seventh grades) ran the Chanukah bingo table. Allison,

our Kinder Kef teacher, reviewed the Chanukah blessings and melodies, and Rabbi Goodman lit the menorah.

Parents and kids participated in a dreidel spinning contest and Chanukah text study. They played a Chanukahtrivia game. Im particularly proud to report that Simkha Weintraub, who staffed the Chanukah trivia game,

was very impressed by how much our kids knew about Chanukah. Kol haKavod/ Great work by our teachers!We sang Chanukah songs with Josh, our song leader, lit the candles together and ate latkes and sufganiot(jellydonuts) with elders in the UT community.

Our classrooms have also been filled with Chanukah. Aris kids learned what the letters gimel, nun, shin, andhey stand for on the dreidel, in English and Hebrew! (Hint: nes gadol haya sham; "a great miracle happenedthere"). Davids class talked about the battle between the Greeks and the Maccabees, and Davids experiencein the Israeli army. Rachels class learned the difference between a menorah and a hanukkiah, and the twomeanings of the word Maccabee.

Jew Q&A: How many candles in a box of Chanukah candles?

I welcome all your questions and concerns. Feel free to contact me at [email protected].

On Tuesday, November 9, 2010, Peggy Lebenson, Union Temples own Charlie Rose,

interviewed Semone Grossman, Holocaust survivor, at our Commemoration ofKristall-nacht, the concentrated attack on the Jews of Germany on this night seventy-two yearsbefore.

Peggys format enabled Mr. Grossman to sit comfortably in our midst, speaking his har-rowing story without having to stand and deliver a speech. He traced his early history as

a boy in a small town now in Poland that had been at times a part of Germany. He took

us with him on his journey from ordinary living through the growing privations and dan-gers of the early Nazi period. Semone described the gradual loss of freedoms for Jews as

Jewish children were deprived of attending public schools, as they were no longer al-

lowed to sit on park benches, eventually not allowed to leave their homes after an earlycurfew, and deprived of an adequate diet. Ultimately the Jews of his town and neighboring towns were

rounded up and sent to slave labor or death camps.

The reasons that Semone Grossman survived to tell his story are many. First and foremost was his mothers ob-

servant eye. As the family stood in line during the round-up, she watched the selections, the very young and the

old ordered to the left, the stronger adults ordered to the right. When someone in the line fainted, distracting theselection officer, she pointed to the right, ordering her son, Run, run. His mothers vigilance and his obedience

of her command was the first in a series of chance events that enabled him to live. The other children and the

elderly who went left were transported to their deaths.

Semone thus became the youngest member of the various labor camps that he inhabited during the years of his

captivity. Perhaps his young age protected him from the worst of the back-breaking work, as apparently he was

assigned work less arduous than the older prisoners. One of his jobs was tending to the camp commandant,cleaning his quarters and delivering him meals. He would pile on the food for the commandant and sneak some

for himself and some of the other inmates. As Semone, now in his eighties, spoke, we could imagine him as the

hungry boy he was describing. As he answered questions, his child-like mischievousness, his inherent likeabil-

ity, and his wiliness became clear to us.

That night I was aware, as many of us were, that we are nearing the time when we wont have the chance to ask

questions of a person who has come through this experience and lived to tell about it. No longer can we take

this privilege for granted.

Semones upbeat tone seemed especially remarkable, and our questions reflected our amazement at such resil-

ience in the face of the enormity of what he lived through. The first questions tried to elicit how his parents ex-

plained what was happening, as the restrictions on the Jews became more and more harsh. He had no way tograpple with these questions even though asked three different ways. Peggy later intuited his inability to address

this question: his parents were from a culture with little recognition of the psychological lives of children and

were absorbed in the tasks of surviving and providing enough food for themselves and their children.

Several questioners asked how he felt about Germans. He responded in a way that seemed unlikely: he seemedwilling to forgive and even to forget what had been perpetrated by the German people. He had, after all, been

given many lucky breaks. He gave the example of the good guard who gave Semone his address in a village out-

side of Munich. The guard had offered to help Simone after the war if he could make his way to Germany. Infact Semone did get to Munich, looked up the guard, who then found Semone an apartment. The Germans he

met in Munich were also kind to him. He expressed no bitterness, held no resentments, to the amazement of

many of us.

Eventually in 1949, through the help of a cousin living in America, he immigrated to the U.S. He figured hedsleep in a park but instead this young, resourceful, and lucky man found an apartment and then a job, working in

Union Temple extends its

deepest sympathy to

Beatrice, Stephen and Jeannie Hanks

on the death of Beatrices father

Tiffany Hanks

on December 10th..

We also extend our heartfelt sympathy to Bea's brothers and

sister, Randolph, Chris, Theodore and Pamela Jones, and their

families, and to Mr. Jones' sister, Beatrice Jones-Reinfeld.

And to,

Rebecca and Andy ReichOn the death of Rebeccas mother

Esther Reich

on December 16th.

We express our heartfelt sympathy to Rebecca and Andy,

Rebecca's brother Michael Reich, and his children, Han-

nah and Thomas, and Esther's brother, Maurice Friedman.

May their memories be for a blessing

a gas station. He was given the task of parking cars andcame to realize the money that could be made in own-

ing land where cars could be parked off the street. How

he came to own a group of garages throughout Manhat-

tan and Brooklyn is yet another chapter of this mans

lucky, lucky, lucky life.

Peggy asked the last question, What advice could you

give us, could you give to my young daughter, sitting

over there? Again he avoided the question.

I have a 17 year old and 22 year old daughter. I knowthey wont listen to my advice.

Yet we came away with a sense of being in a room with

a man whose life and resilience teaches us more thanany sentence he might utter. One sentence stayed with

me: I live every day like its the first and last day of

my life.
