The usual critics, however, did not seem
to notice that the logo shares an awful

unveiled in January.
The logos share the capital letter H,
the red and blue color scheme, and an
angular, geometric style.
Hillarys logo does not incorporate the

AT THE MOVIES:
Adeline takes a
time-travel trip
Adaline is a
romantic fantasydrama. The title
character (Blake Lively)
was born in 1908, and
twenty years later shes
in an accident that
magically stops her from
aging. To avoid attention, she conceals her
changing identities from
all but her daughter
(Ellen Burstyn). Fast
forward to the present,
and she meets a charming and handsome guy
she might want to spend
part of eternity with.
HARRISON FORD, 72,
has a big supporting role
as a friend who knew her
when he was young and
is dumbfounded when
he meets her again in
the present. (Ford is still
recovering from injuries
suffered when he
skillfully landed a
disabled 1942 plane on a
golf course last month
and had to pass up the
press junket for Adaline.)
Fun note: the coscreenwriter, SALVADOR
PASKOWITZ, 43, is the
son of the late DORIAN

the patriarch of a family of 11 (including nine

Standing together with Israel
Local groups join for evening of unity as they discuss ways to protect Israel
JOANNE PALMER
Lee Lasher of Englewood has a deep
interest in ensuring that different parts
of the local Jewish community come to
trust, respect, and even like each other.
To that end, Mr. Lasher, an alumnus
of the Jewish Federation of Northern
New Jerseys Berrie Fellows Leadership
program, and fellow alums and now
friends Ian Zimmerman of Glen Rock
and Ari Hirt of Teaneck, formed a group
called Unite4Unity, which until now has
explored the bridges that actually do
span the community.
Now, the three friends have decided
to multitask. Another cause dear to all
of them is Israel. What could be better,
they thought, than to bring the community together around the Jewish state?
And given their own orientation toward
action, what would be best would be to
give people information they can use to
present Israel positively, to combat such
threats as BDS with knowledge, insight,
and passion.
We are always looking for topics that
will unite the community and allow for
a common conversation, Mr. Lasher
said. And with everything going on in
the world, we thought that support for
Israel is something that can bring everyone together, regardless of their denomination or religious background.
We all felt that there are some great
programs about Israel, and often you go
and learn something, but there is no real
practical take-away. We thought about
what we could do to change that that
was the genesis of this program.
So next Tuesday, Sgt. Anthony Benjamin of the Israel Defense Forces will
keynote an evening that also will include
a discussion with a panel of representatives from StandWithUs, Israels Consulate General in New York, and AIPAC, and
end with the chance to meet in small,
facilitated groups to discuss the evenings
content and other issues.

of Defense in 2012, and Operation Protective Edge in 2014. (We should make
war on whomever comes up with those
names, he said, perhaps half joking.)
Since then, he has toured college campuses; he has spoken at 350 schools on
four continents, he said.
I will be exploring the similarities
between combat on the battlefield and
the fight for public opinion on campuses
and why I believe that victory in the
latter will improve our chances in the
former.
The most immediate parallel between
Israels wars and the situation its advocates face on campus is that those who
support Israel are massively outnumbered, he said. The second is that quality trumps quantity and I do believe
that our most effective advocates are

browbeaten and intimidated come in.
Whats missing from the discourse
about the state of Israel is an unreserved,
unbridled pride in Israel, he said. I
intend to do my level best to reinject that
pride into those who are kind enough to
listen to my words.
And that, he added, is a transdenominational feeling. I go to Conservative,
Orthodox, and Reform synagogues, he
said. They are not as divided as they
think they are. Not nearly.
Andrew Gross is the political advisor to Israels deputy consul general in
New York. (He also grew up in Wyckoff
and went to Ramapo High School; I am

plans to talk about Israel as the quintessential start-up nation; it is a way, he said,
to broaden the conversation to think
about Israel the country, not Israel as a
debated political issue.
One of the key elements of my job is
to reach out to different communities,
to build bridges with Jews and non-Jews
alike, by sharing the competitive advantages of Israel. It is a source of inspiration

century German Bible in the congregations library, and that piqued his interest
in pre-World War II German Jewry.
So Rabbi Shull put together a committee of two, both of whom have German
lineage, to organize German Jewry Weekend, offering food for both thought and
stomach.
I think a lot of us have ambivalence
toward anything German, Rabbi Shull
said. But today we can see Germany is
friendly toward Israel and it has a reconstituted Jewish community. Also, much
of modern Judaisms progressive movements originated in Germany, and I
thought it would be interesting to learn
more about that, not only for the past but
for the future, too.
The weekend, open to the community
at large, will kick off at 6:30 Friday night
with the optional dinner; the full menu
also includes potato latkes and braised
cabbage. Reservations cost $25 for adults
and $15 for children 10 and
under.
At 7: 3 0, D r. F r a n k
Mecklenburg will discuss
German-Jewish legacy
and why it should be
preserved.
Dr. Mecklenburg, a
Berlin native, is not Jewish. He is the director of
research and the chief
archivist of the Leo
Baeck Institute in New
York, a research library
and archive that documents the rich history
and culture of Germanspeaking Jewry going
back to the Middle Ages.
We encourage people to
bring family documents
for Dr. Mecklenburg
to look at, said Rabbi
Shull.
Shabbat services at
8:15 will be highlighted
by a panel discussion with four local residents born in Germany: Margo Berger,
born in Halle A-Saale, who now lives in
Hillsdale; Berta Fromme, originally of
Bad Cannstatt and now of Park Ridge;
Kurt Rosenberg, born in Hessen and now
a Ridgewood resident; and Arthur Hirschberg, a native of Hachenburg who moved
to West Orange from Paramus.
Congregants will have had a chance to
see a video of interviews conducted with
these panelists by the synagogues fourthgrade religious school class. The children
asked them about their lives in pre-War
Germany and their memories of fleeing
the Nazis.
Interestingly, most of them came
from observant families in smaller towns,
whereas we usually assume most German
Jews were assimilated, Rabbi Shull said.
There are some fascinating stories here.

part of a continuum that started a few
years ago, when people, especially in the
modern Orthodox world, became much
more comfortable speaking about the
reality.
We have gay congregants in our synagogues, gay families in our communities,
kids from gay communities coming into
the day-school system, he said.
It is a reality that rabbis and therapists and everyone recognizes. We all
struggle with giving the best guidance
and advice, as Orthodox educators
and rabbis and communal activists on
the one hand, while on the other hand
maintaining our fidelity to halacha and
not fudging the basics of halacha.
We have to be sensitive and welcoming and inclusive to the reality of the Jewish family as it exists today. Gay families,
and people with same-sex attractions,
are one part of the reality. We have a
spectrum of nontraditional families in
our communities. In some communities it is a larger percent, and in others
it is smaller, but we have single parent
families, gay couples, divorced families,
blended families all sorts of scenarios.
We have to understand where people are, the struggles they face, and how
they can find their place in the Jewish
community.
Rabbi Helfgot told a story he had
heard at the conference from Rabbi
Shaul Robinson, the Scottish-born spiritual leader of Lincoln Square. Rabbi
Robinson said that he remembers that
years ago, when he still was living in
England, when people would talk about
these kinds of issues they would snicker,
and even some rabbis would make jokes
about it. He was very pleasantly surprised when he returned to England to
speak at a conference. The subject came

Opinion
meaning that it is 39 years since they inaugurated and
have been using the fancy altars and accoutrements
of the Tabernacle (the Mishkan), God again asks for
a simple altar of unhewn stones (see Deuteronomy
27), this time for use in a covenant renewal ceremony.
While He does ask for sacrifices, that is probably
because in the ancient world sacrifices were considered mandatory for such ceremonies. The Israelites
would not have seen this one as valid otherwise. (In
the original covenant ceremony in Exodus 24, Moses
also calls for sacrifices to seal the deal.)
Until the Golden Calf episode, God never asks anyone for any sacrifice. Interestingly, when Moses asks
God to forgive Israel for that great sin, God does not
say, I will, but only if they kill a bunch of animals
first. What He does say is, I have pardoned, as you
have spoken. Moses prayed and God heard, and He
pardoned.
Here are some facts to ponder:
The only time God asks anyone for a sacrifice is at
the Akedah, the Binding of Isaac, which actually was
meant to be a non-sacrifice. True, Abraham ends up
sacrificing a ram, but nothing in Genesis 22 has God
telling him to do so.
In Genesis, too, we have the so-called brit bein habsarim, the covenant between the pieces. There,
God does tell Abram, as he was then known, to kill
some animals and birds, but the whole incident
occurs in a dream, not in reality. And when the sun
was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and...
it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it
was dark [and he was in a deep sleep!], behold a smoking furnace, and a burning torch that passed between
those pieces. (See Genesis 15.)
Unlike the patriarchs following their indirect
encounters with God (He only appeared to them in
visions and dreams), Moses builds no altar after meeting God at the burning bush, let alone offers any
sacrifice.
When he is saved from Gods wrath on the way back
to Egypt, Moses again offers no sacrifice and builds
no altar.
Moses calls for no sacrifice as the Exodus gets under
way. The Passover sacrifice he calls for in Exodus
12:21 is not a sacrifice in the traditional sense; rather, it
seems to be a way to guarantee that the lamb the people were to eat that night would be hurriedly roasted,
not slowly boiled in water. Indeed, nowhere in chapter
12 does God refer to this as a korban. That comes
later, after the Golden Calf.
Moses calls for no sacrifice either before or after
Israel is rescued from Egypts attack at the sea. Indeed,
the Song of the Sea indicates that Moses saw prayer,
not sacrifice, as the proper way to worship God.
Finally, when his father-in-law sacrifices to Israels
God in Exodus 18, Moses is conspicuously absent from
the guest list, which includes Aaron and the elders.
This suggests the possibility that he may have been
unwilling to participate in what he saw as an alien,
pagan ritual.
So why did God authorize sacrifices and in such
great detail?
To again quote Rambam (see Guide to the Perplexed 3:32), it is not possible to suddenly go from
one extreme to another, and the Golden Calf incident
proved that.
The sacrificial cult was inaugurated, but with so
many rules and restrictions as to make it obsolete over
time.
Obsolete it should remain. All God ever asked for are
observance of His mitzvot and an occasional prayer.
Sky and me
How your dog can remind you
of what matters in your life
When Sky was young, the kids on our block were still in
elementary school.
When Sky was young, I still had toddlers who were too
little for school.
When Sky was young, my kids couldnt ride a bicycle,
let alone drive a car.
When Sky was young, I was still a new mom.
Now my baby is 10, my daughter is away on her gap year in
Israel, and the son who carried the puppy around his kindergarten class is looking at colleges. The boy who wasnt talking
yet is taller than I am, and growing a scruffy beard.
As for Sky, he has silver around his eyes and muzzle where
there used to be copper, hes a bit deaf, and he doesnt run as
fast or jump as high as he used to. Like the old man that he is,
hes a bit stiff in the joints. It takes him a while to get up and
down the stairs. But hes still thrilled to play with his toys, to
chase tennis balls, to chew on a nice big rawhide bone, to be
petted by the people he thinks of as family.
The vet told me what a handsome and sweet boy he is.
Hes dehydrated, she said. Id like to do some tests. She
took blood, gave him some fluids, and sent me home with
medication and instructions on how and what to feed him.
It was so much better than what I feared. But for the first
time, I hear the clock ticking.
Our pets are wild animals that choose to live among us.
They listen to us talk. They follow us from room to room. They
clown. They dance. They sing. They beg. They fetch balls for
us to throw. They look guilty when they do something bad.
They let us hug them when we cry. They insist that we pet
them. They love us for no good reason. And they are living
reminders of the fleeting passage of time.
Sky isnt just my dog. Hes a furry symbol of 12 1/2 rollercoaster, event-packed years. Together, we leave the age of the
playground behind for a new era in our lives.

Although it is a good sign that the President has met with Jewish leaders and
avers that he is deeply sympathetic to
their concerns (Obama meets Jewish
leaders and donors, April 17) actions
speak louder than words, and obviously
actions like suspending the delivery of
Hellfire missiles needed by Israel during
last summers Gaza war was an action
that has many Jewish voters wondering
if he really cares about Israel.

he said.
What? How? You start communicating, he said. At first, with your hands.
He gestured, telling the story.
Shanghai was an international city, a
British colony with many foreigners and a
babble of languages. It also was cheap to
live there, Mr. Krug said; three local coppers made one British penny, and you
could buy a loaf of bread for a copper. But
he didnt know how to earn any coppers
at all, let alone pennies or anything more.
When he first got to Shanghai, he lived
under a bridge, and he ate what he could
scavenge. There were a lot of hotels
there, and the food was good, he said.
It was cold the only clothing I had was
what I wore, he said but he was determined. When you have to survive, you do
what you have to do to survive, he said. I
consider myself a survivor.
Soon, he discovered a safer place to
live. I found a British police station, and
I walked in, and they took me in, and
they also gave me a pair of boots. During another excursion, he saw a beautiful

the east coast of China, on an
island, he said. They refused
to let us put red crosses on the
roofs, so as a result the Americans bombed us twice.
To this day, I have a piece of
shrapnel that I found inside one
of these barracks.
He was in the camp until
the beginning of 1945, but
then another lucky thing happened to me, he said. They
had caught me in an American
uniform, but I had a Chinese
passport. Remember, the Flying Tigers were an American
volunteer group, so no citizenship went along with it. And Mr.
Krugs only passport had been
the stateless one from Germany.
So I applied to the Chinese government for a passport during
his time in Shanghai, and he had
obtained it.
The Japanese wanted nothing to do with the Chinese, he
said. The Chinese didnt forget
that the Japanese had occupied
parts of China in 1937.
That included a part of Manchuria, he said, following a trail
off the main path of his story.
When I was in the train, and
we went through Manchuria, we
were literally imprisoned in that
train, with every window closed
and a Japanese soldier standing
in front of every window. We
were not allowed to look out.
So when his Japanese captors
found my Chinese passport,
they literally took me out of the
camp, and the International Red
Cross took me to Saint Georges
Hospital in Bombay.
I weighed 86 pounds and
I could not walk on my own.
I have a picture to prove it. In
order to take the photo, they
had to prop me up. And there
was no uniform that fit me.
If he had stayed in the camp,
surely he would have died
before the war ended.
Once he was healthy, he
went back to the Flying Tigers.
I had no other profession, he
said. This was my profession.
By that time, the volunteer air
corps had turned into part of the
U.S. Air Force. We became the
14th Air Force.
By law, foreigners who serve
in the American armed forces
for 90 days or more become citizens. So Walter Krug, who was
born in Frankfurt and made his
way east across Europe and Asia
but had never been to the Americas, who served the United
States but had never set foot in
it, became an American citizen.

day was just a week before, we cobbled together the gifts for both occasions. Her requests were simple, and ever practical.
I need some underwear, Heidi, she once told me.
So I complied. Off I went to her favorite department store, Alexanders, where I would find the white briefs she favored, and wrap them
up as if they were some precious trinket from Tiffanys. But she didnt
want any small blue box. The more practical the gift, the better. What
she did cherish were the homemade cards or the picture frames that
we made in grade school, the ones decorated with dried shapes of pasta and then spray painted gold. All those items, the gifts for Mothers
Day, were put in a drawer for safekeeping or out on display.
Its hard to imagine that this year marks 30 years since that last
very sad Mothers Day. Its her 30-year yarhzeit and Ive lived longer
without her here than with her.
But she lives with me.
Not just the fact that my hair has gotten redder (hers, thanks to
Miss Clairol, mine, thanks to the genius of colorist Renee Patronik) or
that my closet is cluttered with shoes just like hers, or that I share her
love of retail therapy.
Or that our daughter, Shaina, is graced with her name.
Trite, clich, but true. A mother is always with her child.
I used to think that since shes been gone, she missed all the good
stuff, watching as we grew, got married, and had our own families.
But then I wonder, did she really?
Wishing all a very Happy Mothers Day.

home! Economically speaking, youre better off rounding up old clothes and shoes
(towels and wash clothes, too) and saving
the new items for after camp.
Several weeks before your child attends camp, keep his schedule open and
stress-free. This will allow him plenty
of time to relax and prepare for the big
event. If, for example, your family comes
back from a vacation on Friday and you
scoot your child off to camp on Sunday,
he may experience some anxiety and
tension. A better idea is to plan major
summer events with a break in between.
On the last day of camp, arrive
on time, and come prepared with a
few extra plastic bags. You may need
them, especially if your child has wet
clothes or muddy shoes that need to be
transported.
On the ride home, listen to your child.
More than likely hell be eager to share
his experiences with youwho he met,
what he did, and the funny things that
happened. And if you look really close
you may find hes grown a little. Not just
in height, but in depth of character. Camp
has a way of helping kids grow by boosting their self-esteem; increasing their
sense of responsibility and helping them
mature in their relationships with others.

About
esearchers at the University of Amsterdam studied 565 kids and 705 parents over two years to
understand what makes children narcissists.
They went beyond the presumption that smartphones
and trophy giving for participation makes it easier today than ever to create a self-absorbed generation.
Instead, they focused on the parenting style that produces narcissist children, those who feel superior to
others, fantasize about personal success, and believe
that they deserve special treatment.
They found that parents who worship their children and teach their sons and daughters that they
are extraordinary, special and unique encourage overblown views of themselves. At the same time
these children have been found to look less kindly at
others. As they grow, so does their arrogance and selflove. The problem is that the world does not think of
them the way that their parents do. Take 22 amazing
youngsters and put them into a classroom, you will find
22 children who cant understand why their teacher
does not find them amazing. Their inflated perception
leads to a road of disappointment, anxiety and feelings
of inadequacy.

About
arm fuzzies, also known in the 1960s as positive strokes, is something that parents who
want to raise emotionally healthy children
cannot do without.
Warm fuzzies come in verbal and non-verbal forms.
Verbal warm fuzzies are words that feel good to children; non-verbal warm fuzzies are good-feeling actions.
As we saw previously, smiles, tender touches, gifts
and friendly play are some of the non-verbal good stuff
that children appreciate. The verbal fuzzies are praise,
positive programming and emotional coaching.
Praise
Praise is a most important parenting tool. Its better
than punishment any day because it has more consistent, predictable positive results without any significant
negative side effects. Punishment, on the other hand,
sometimes works and sometimes doesnt and it almost
always involves a heavy cost (which well examine in
detail later).
Children love praise. They like to hear when theyre
on track, doing the right thing. They like to know youre
pleased and proud. Your praise keeps them coming
back for morewhich is why they behave so much
better when you reinforce their behavior with praise.
What you praise is what you get.
Unfortunately, what you criticize is also what you get.
The rule is whatever you attend to is what you get.
If you reinforce good behavior by giving praise and other kinds of positive attention, children will deliver more
good behavior. Find the good behavior and comment
on it constantly. A typical morning conversation could
sound like this:
Oh look how quickly youve gotten out of bed!
Good for you! And I see youve got your clothes on
alreadyamazing! Nice job of making the bed today.
Keep up the good workIll see you in the kitchen in
a few minutes . Whoahhow did you get down here
so fast? Youre really moving this morning! I bet youll
be ready long before that bus comes! I see you got your
bowl all ready ... here, let me help you with the milk.
Keep praise specific tell your child exactly what
you like. Avoid global statements like youre a good
boy/girl. These are not only useless (because they
dont give the child enough information about what he/
she needs to do) but they can also be dangerous, leading the child to fear that mistakes and human failings
equate with badness.
Keep praise pure dont mix it in with negative
statements. Avoid using but as in: I like the way
youre using a fork but I dont like the way youre eating
with your mouth open.
The word but is an eraser, wiping out the praise
part of your statement.
The word but is an eraser, wiping out the praise
part of your statement. If absolutely necessary, make
several separate statements, perhaps, I like the way
youre using a fork. Thats the way to eat. If you also
chew with your mouth closed, youll be Mr. Good Manners himself.
Remember our most powerful parenting tool is
specific praise. Use it liberally. It doesnt cause swelled
heads or any other infirmities. It does cause children to
do more of what you want them to do.
Warning: Although you can use as much praise as
Positive Programming
When praising a child, we can go just one step further
in order to exponentially increase our parenting power.
That step is positive programming.
During your childrens first 10 or 15 years, they
are extremely impressionable. Tell them theyre stupid
and theyll think they are. Tell them theyre selfish, and
theyll absorb it completely.
Whatever you say, goesdeep down, where it will
haunt your children for the rest of their lives.
Whatever you say goes. Deep into their little unconscious minds. Deep, deep down, where it will haunt
them for the rest of their lives.
Of course, we can use our power to hypnotize in
a positive way as well. We can help our children leave
childhood believing that theyre clever, responsible,
helpful, kind, courageous, considerate, prompt, strong,
determined, patient, organized and otherwise wonderful. It all depends on what we say.

begins to increase in May and June before peaking in July. The overall leading
cause of eye injuries in children 15 and
younger is sports, especially swimming.
Pool chemicals, which can cause eye
irritation, are a common cause of eye
injuries. Ensuring that a pools pH level
is within normal range is one way to reduce these injuries. Googles and swim
masks are another way by providing a
barrier between the eyes and water. Other causes of pool-related injuries include
being hit by water toys or by elbows and
feet.
Other ways to reduce eye injuries
include having children of all ages wear
eye protection when playing sports
and keeping children away from sparklers, firecrackers or any other types of
fireworks.

administrations harshest critics. After Rabbi Shmuley Boteach advertised an upcoming panel discussion on Obamas
Iran policy in March with an ad that seemed to link national
security adviser Susan Rice to the genocide in Rwanda, one
of the featured speakers, Representative Brad Sherman,
(D-Calif.), dropped out, saying Boteach had crossed a line.
Cruz, also a featured speaker, stayed in.
Cruz likes to ask the administration tough questions on
Israel. He accused the Obama administration of playing politics with the Federal Aviation Authority during last years
Gaza War, when the FAA stopped flights to Tel Aviv for a day
or so because rockets had struck near the airport. Cruz said
no such order was in place for Ukraine, although a missile
had downed a plane there (in fact, there was such an order).
Cruz also has sought to distance himself from neoconservative hawks, arguing that his model is President Ronald
Reagan, who Cruz said favored clearly defined objectives in
any military action and opposed nation building.
Cruz shares with Rubio a biography of being born to
Cuban refugees from the Castro regime. Unlike Rubio, he
has maintained a consistently tough line on immigration,
advocating blocking Obama judicial nominees until the
president retreats on executive orders that have cleared a
path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants.

Senator Rand Paul speaks at the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference in March 2014.
GAGE SKIDMORE
His Jews: Paul has cultivated Richard Roberts, an Orthodox Jew and major New Jersey philanthropist. In 2013,
Roberts helped fund a tour of Israel for Paul and evangelical Christians. A year ago he led Paul on a tour of the
sprawling Orthodox yeshiva, Beth Medrash Govoha, in
Lakewood, which Roberts supports. Roberts has suggested, however, that he favors Wisconsin Governor Scott
Walker, who has yet to formally declare his candidacy.
Paul also shares with Netanyahu a digital consultant, Harris Media in Austin, Texas. Vincent Harris, the firms CEO,
led digital strategy in Netanyahus recent reelection campaign and is now chief digital strategist to Pauls campaign.
Jewish World
His views: Walker has earned his conservative chops principally on the basis
of his record as a governor facing down
unions in a liberal state. He now wants
to burnish his foreign policy credentials
and traveled to London in February,
but got demerits for dodging foreign
policy questions. He says he wants to
go to Israel soon. His criticisms of how
Obama has handled the Israel relationship and the Iran nuclear talks have been
pointed in their language but vague in
particulars.
On immigration, Walker has backed
reforms that include a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants,
but more recently his focus has been on
seeking to dismantle Obamas executive
orders that would provide such a path.

Intermarried rabbis?
Reconstructionists consider dropping ban as its seminary numbers drop
URIEL HEILMAN
he Reconstructionist movement
is on the cusp of making a historic decision about whether to
drop its longstanding ban against
intermarried rabbinical school students.
If the policy change passes, as most
expect, Reconstructionism would become
the first of Americas four major Jewish
religious denominations to ordain intermarried rabbis.
Supporters of the change argue that the
ban hews to an outdated way of defining
Jewish identity and community, and that
eliminating the ban would reaffirm Reconstructionisms commitment to progressivism and inclusivity. In 1985, the movement was the first among the major Jewish
denominations to ordain openly gay rabbis. And it embraced its first woman rabbi
in 1974, just two years after the Reform
movement. Last year it became the first
to install a gay rabbi, Deborah Waxman,
at the helm of its flagship seminary, the
Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
The Jewish world should steer away
from looking at those who marry nonJews as second-class citizens, Rabbi Doug
Heifetz of Oseh Shalom, a Reconstructionist congregation in Laurel, Maryland, said.
Reconstructionism is based on the idea
of Judaism as an evolving religious civilization of the Jewish people. We cant expect
our demographic profile to be exactly like
what it was 50 to 100 years ago. I think its
appropriate for us to at least discuss rabbinic policies that reflect the changing
nature of the Jewish people.
For opponents of the change, dropping
the ban which bars admission to the
Reconstructionist Rabbinical College or
ordination to those with non-Jewish partners would undermine the movements
commitment to Jewish peoplehood and
the legitimacy of Reconstructionist rabbis
within the wider Jewish world.
We think its a misguided, wrong decision to take, Rabbi Ron Aigen said of his
congregation, Dorshei Emet in Montreal.
We dont think it promotes peoplehood.
It undermines the credibility of rabbis who
are trying to promote in-marriage. If rabbis
can model intermarriage, then it doesnt
help make the case for trying to create Jewish families that are totally committed to
Judaism. And we dont think its going to
bring in better students.
This issue is different from ordaining gay
or female rabbis, Aigen said, because marrying a non-Jewish partner is a matter of
choice.
Rabbi Lester Bronstein of Bet Am Shalom in White Plains, New York, wrote a
widely circulated letter within the movement warning that the change would take

did not go straight into military service.
Despite his
fathers plans to keep him out of the war, Mr. Abrams
was desperate to enlist, but, ironically, the Army did
not want him. His eyesight was abysmal. He was so
dedicated to the United States that he wrote letters to
Eisenhower and to all the other generals, pleading to
be let in, Mr. Schneck said.
Eventually Mr. Abrams private campaign worked.
USE
H O 1945,
He was allowed to enlist, but by then it Lwas
L
and the war had ended. He was assigned to Bolling
Field in Washington, where he worked on the bases
newsletter. He rose quickly, becoming first its public
relations director and then, two copies later, its chief
editor. He kept every copy he ever worked on, Mr.
Schneck said. He had fun with it he knew he was
entertaining people.
He discovered his niche.
After his discharge in 1948, Mr. Abrams went to
NYU, where he earned a degree in public relations.
At first he worked as a pr consultant, shuttling from
job to job, but his obvious passion for Palisades
Amusement Park, and his genius at coming up with
stunts to promote it, soon led to a full-time job there.
By then, Palisades Amusement Park was owned
by Irving Rosenthal, another true character. He
was about three feet tall, and very demanding, Mr.
Schneck said, again retelling family lore. He had a
real Napoleon complex. He was always dressed very
nicely. Very expensively. His wife, Gladys Shelley, was
a lyricist and composer. It was Ms. Shelley who came
up with the parks jingle, a tune that anyone who was
sentient by 1971, when the park closed for good, has
permanently encased somewhere in his or her mind.
Sol Abrams job was to promote the park, and he
did it in increasingly outrageous ways. The park was
the essence of fun, and he was the king of publicity
stunts, Mr. Schneck said. Hed be quiet, and then he
would just look at two things, and put them together,
and say Oh, thats possible. I just have to work it out.
And then he would.
After the park closed, Mr. Abrams continued
working as a publicist. He and his family belonged

SPRING GALA
Jewish World
before the main acts hit the stage. On Saturday, the tent holds an 11 a.m. service followed
by lunch. Jews from all over the world, of all
denominations (and varying levels of sobriety) stop in to hang out, meet new friends or
just snack on some challah. After the music
ends on Saturday night, the tent hosts an
open jam session.
Bookstein, 45, is the rabbi of the newly
formed Pico Shul in Los Angeles and is the
rabbi in residence at the University of Southern California Hillel. He runs the tent with
his wife, Rachel, and tries to see a few of the
musical acts during the weekend, but he usually gets caught up in the tents activities and
social atmosphere.
People are coming in and out all day and
all night, Bookstein said. Maybe at 3 a.m.
theres no one there.
As an organization, Shabbat Tent has
existed since 2000. But since Bookstein
took over five years ago, the venture has
broadened its scope, setting up shop in as
many as seven festivals per year. Among
others, Shabbat Tent has visited Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn.; the High Sierra Music Festival
in Quincy, Calif.; and the Sundance Film
The Shabbat Tent provides a Jewish-oriented reprieve from the heat at the
Coachella Music and Arts Festival.

In a meeting between [Iranian]
President [Hassan] Rouhani and [IAEA
chief ] Yukiya Amano, President Rouhani
reminded him that, When you requested
to visit the facilities in Parchin for the first
time, I said yes, you can go to Parchin and
everywhere else, and you can collect samples. But it can be allowed just for once as
it is a military base. A second visit will not
happen, said Kamalvandi.
The remarks come shortly after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei said that America is responsible for creating the myth of Irans
nuclear weapons in order to portray the

But as in the past, the synagogues members have opened
their deep pockets. Erika Glazer,
the daughter of shopping mall
developer Guilford Glazer,
donated $30 million to the restoration and expansion, as well
as another $6 million for a new
early childhood center. An anonymous donor gave $10 million,
and a total of 30 donors have
made gifts of $1 million or more.
The temple is in the midst of
building a four-story garage that
will house parking for 450 cars
and a full-sized playing field on
the roof. The new Karsh Social
Service Center will be on the
ground floor.
The parking garage, field, and
school buildings are expected
to open in September, and the
social service center early next
year. Plans are still being developed for the final construction
phase, a five-story building that
likely will include a banquet hall,
cafe, offices, and only the second non-Orthodox mikvah in Los
Angeles.
The germ of the idea for the
social service center came from
a desire to build a new space for
the temples 28-year-old food
pantry, which lacks proper cold
storage and dedicated distribution space. But the idea quickly
expanded as the temple sought
to join with existing organizations in the community to create
a walk-in center that could serve
as a one-stop shop for a variety of
social service needs.

Johng Ho Song, the executive director of the nearby
Koreatown Youth and Community Center, said he has
been impressed with the temples outreach to community groups like his own and expressed hope that the
temples collaborative vision could become a model for
institutions in other neighborhoods as well.
Theyre making a very conscious decision to work
together and share their resources, which is very
unusual here, Song said. I think theyre really trying
to demonstrate that they like to be involved with the
community, they want to be part of community, and
they want to make a positive impact.
That, in turn, could help nurture a closer relationship between the temple members and the surrounding community.
It builds partnership, it builds trust in the community, Song said. Its an opportunity to break down
some of the differences and cultural stereotypes.
At the same time, Rabbi Goldberg has been tasked
with reaching out to the east sides burgeoning Jewish
community, a task that ranges from teaming with organizations such as East Side Jews to create events from
living room Havdalahs to monthly Friday night services
where everyone sits on the grand sanctuarys bimah to
make the space feel more intimate.
So far, the signs for the new campus are positive
synagogue membership has been stable at around
2,400 members, and Leder notes that the age of membership is trending younger, as new families that are
joining replace older congregants who have died. The
