“Broadway Mu-sicals: A Jewish Legacy” chronicles the role of Jewish composers and lyr-icists in developing the modern Ameri-can musical, as well as the songs referred to as “The Great American Song-book.” Throughout the 50 years of its creation, Broadway musical songs were written almost exclusively by Jewish Americans. The film explores this ethnic cultural history with perspectives on the origins and meaning of some of Broadway’s “most beloved” songs, stories and shows.

Kassan added that the documentary is “more than an examination of the origins of a national art form, but an exploration

hamton’s 2017 Jewish International Film Fest will begin on Sunday, September 10, with a dinner at 5 pm, followed by the film “Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy” at 7 pm, at the Jewish Community Center, 500 Clubhouse Rd., Vestal. The event will be open to the entire community. Tickets will cost $10 per film or $45 for a subscription to the festival. To purchase tickets in advance or for more information, call 724-2332.

Following the screening, a discussion of the film will be led by Larry Kassan, coordinator of special events and theatre at the Binghamton City School District’s Rod Serling School of the Arts and a former instructor and assistant technical director for Adelphi University on Long Island. He called the film “a must see documentary for anyone who has ever seen a musical or just ever whistled a Broadway tune.”

By Rabbi Rachel EssermanThe CCAR press is releasing a 20th anni-

versary edition of Marcia Falk’s “The Book of Blessings: New Jewish Prayers for Daily Life, the Sabbath and the New Moon Festi-val” in September. When first introduced, critics called her creative liturgy “ground-breaking” because her book was among the first prayer books to use gender-neutral God language. The anniversary edition features a new preface by the author and afterwards by four rabbis, looking at how the book has affected Jewish liturgy. Below is an e-mail interview with Falk.

Rabbi Rachel Esserman: What do you feel has been the impact of “The Book of Blessings”? Did you have a specific goal for the book and, if so, did its publication accomplish that?

Marcia Falk: I’ve been told that

Falk to release 20th anniversary edition of “The Book of Blessings”

“The Book of Blessings” has changed the landscape of Jewish prayer and given in-dividuals and communities “permission” to create new liturgies of their own. I did not have such a grand purpose in mind when I began writing the book. I only wanted to create alternatives to the patriarchal language and imagery of traditional Jewish prayer – alternatives that would be honest and moving – alternatives

that would have integrity and beauty. I hoped the book would prove useful and meaningful to those who, like myself, felt the need for it – that is, those who wanted to main-tain a connection to the tradition, but could no lon-ger speak words they did not be-

lieve. I hope the book has accomplished that goal.

Esserman: You wrote in the new intro-duction that you returned to your artwork

after finishing this book and then began to use your blessings in your artwork. How do you see that as connecting to what you were trying to accomplish in “The Book of Blessings”? Do you see it as a different or a complementary approach to prayer?

Falk: When I began to put together paint-ings with words from my books, I saw it as a way to encourage another mode of con-templative – or “prayerlike” – experience. The combination of genres creates a kind of dialogue – between color and music, sight and sound, vision and silence. A deepening, perhaps, of the verbal experience. A place of quiet focus, where the heart can find itself, open and speak.

Esserman: How do you think the book has stood up to its 20 years? Would you have done something different or do you

Klezmer concert at Ithaca College on Sept. 9

The Jewish Studies Program at Ithaca College is sponsoring a multimedia concert by Journey West, an ensemble specializing in Jewish klezmer and other Eastern Euro-pean music, on Saturday, September 9, at 8:15 pm, in the Hockett Family Recital Hall in the James J. Whalen Center for Music on the Ithaca College campus. The concert will be free and open to the public.

Journey West is an ensemble of five mu-sicians who play 15 different instruments. Their repertoire includes klezmer music, Middle Eastern music, music from across

Europe and traditional American fiddle music. They have presented concerts and workshops throughout the United States and in Belgium. For this concert, Journey West will be joined by Imad Yassin, an Iraqi violinist, and Basam Batbouta, an oud player from Syria.

The program will emphasize the relation-ship of Jewish musical traditions to the regions where Jews have lived. Journey West will perform selections from the Mizrahi (Middle Eastern and North African), Sephardic and

of how a relatively small group of talented Jewish songwriters and lyricists not only in-fluenced the Broadway musical, but created what we refer to as ‘The Great American Songbook.’”

“This delightful documentary includes provocative interviews with many great Jewish composers and lyricists, accompa-nied by memorable performances and rare archival footage,” noted Phil Cali, a member of the Film Fest Selection Committee. He called the movie “a delightful trip through musical theater history!”

The film, which looks behind the scenes of Broadway, has been called “engaging, humorous and provocative.” It features

interviews and discussions with composers and writers of the Broadway stage consid-ered to be among the nation’s pre-eminent creators of musical theater, including Ir-ving Berlin, Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Kurt Weill, Sheldon Harnick, Jerry Bock, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, Jules Styne and many others.

The picture includes footage of per-formances by stars such as David Hyde Pierce, Matthew Broderick, Kelli O’Hara, Zero Mostel, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Nathan Lane, Al Jolson, Fanny Brice, Joel Grey, Dick Van Dyke, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel and Barbra Streisand. It also features interviews with Harnick, John Kander, Andrew Lippa, Schwartz, Phyllis Newman, Charles Strouse, Harold Prince, Maury Yeston, Mary Rodgers, Ernie Har-burg, Marc Shaiman, David Shire, Sond-heim and Mel Brooks.

In My Own Words

Off the Shelf

RABBI RACHEL ESSERMAN

You have butterflies in your stomach and some other unusual sensations. What are you feeling? Could it be you’re attracted to the person with whom you’re eating lunch? Of course, you could also be coming down with the flu. If you’re Lisa Feldman Barrett, you might have thought the former was true – at least, until you went home, threw up and spent several days in bed.

Feldman, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University, wrote about this experience in her book “How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain.” As I write this, I’m still only part way through the book, but have been enjoying it immensely. That’s because I’ve already been using her ideas about how we construct emotions in my own life.

Her theory is too complex to write about in a few para-graphs. However, let me give you an example about how I’ve been analyzing something that’s happened this summer. Too many times, I’ve had feelings of intense irritation after arriving home from work. When I stopped to think about it, the problem was that I was incorrectly interpreting

Liat Steir-Livny’s “Is It OK to Laugh About It?: Holo-caust Humour, Satire and Parody in Israeli Culture”(Val-lentine Mitchell) is not an anthology of Israeli Holocaust humor, although he does offer examples of that genre in order to explain his theories. Instead, it is a serious and fascinating look at the role the Holocaust plays in Israeli culture and how Israelis use humor as a defense mech-anism to reduce the Holocaust’s impact on their lives. What’s particularly interesting is that Steir-Livny shows how, rather than defusing the trauma, the use of humor strengthens certain elements of Holocaust remembrance in everyday life.

Steir-Livny believes that Jewish Israelis have a unique relationship to the Holocaust. He writes that “the Holocaust was and remains a central trauma in Israel’s national consciousness. The memory of the trauma does not fade throughout the years; on the contrary, Holocaust representations and the public discourse regarding the Holocaust has only grown stronger in recent decades. Studies in Israel have shown the Holocaust memory has a very powerful presence, does not have just a one-gen-erational impact, and is a cross-generational defining trait of the Jewish population in Israel.” This means that the majority of Jewish Israeli citizens see themselves as

Can that possibly be funny? – Holocaust humor

second- or third-generation survivors, even if no members of their family lived in Europe during World War II or perished at the hands of the Nazis.

The author quotes research that suggests most Israelis suffer from a type of post-traumatic distress due to the prominent role the Holocaust plays in their political and social lives. In the early days of the state, the Holocaust was connected to the attacks from Arab countries – with citizens seeing those wars as a continuation of the Holocaust. Holocaust-themed humor then became a defense mecha-nism to reduce that stress. Steir-Livny notes that there is a difference between Holocaust humor that gives details about what occurred during the war and humor that focuses on how Israeli culture uses the Holocaust for social and political means; for example, politicians using Holocaust imagery to further their particular cause or members of specific religious groups comparing governmental actions to the Holocaust.

Holocaust humor used to protest Israeli politics doesn’t always provide relief, though, because it in-serts the Holocaust more deeply into everyday life and makes it even more present in people’s minds. Steir-Livny notes “that all Jewish-Israelis are subject to the postmemory of the Holocaust which locks them in a

constant subconscious and conscious state of anxiety, victimhood and fear. The trauma haunts everybody and humour is a basic defense mechanism. Humour is used to expose this abnormality and acknowledge it, with the hope that this awareness will, perhaps, tone down the acting out of the trauma in the Israeli present. However, at the same time, paradoxically, these texts increase the dominance of the Holocaust in Israeli popular culture, social media and everyday life, and thus strengthen the acting out of the trauma.”

Among the examples Steir-Livny mentions are: � A TV skit called “Ghetto 2,” during which a young

man from Tel Aviv tries to find his way to a party. When he asks for directions, every street name refers in some way to the Holocaust – “Hanged Man Street,” “Warsaw Ghetto Street” and “Dachau Square.”

� A second TV skit called “The Berlin Museum,” which shows how, during a visit to Berlin, a young woman mishears and misunderstands everything her German tour guide says and does. For example, she hears “hi” as “heil” and, when he points to a painting, sees his gesture as a Nazi salute.

� A variety of skits that criticize the commercialization of the Holocaust in films – doing takeoffs on Claude Lanzmann’s “Shoah” and Steven Spielberg’s “Schin-dler’s List.”

Other chapters discuss alternative Holocaust com-memorations, some of which feature humor as a major component of the evening; the use of Hitler imagery, which ridicules the German leader; and actual Holocaust-themed jokes. These latter jokes appear in Hebrew on many Is-raeli websites and appeal to those with a dark or morbid sense of humor. Steir-Livny notes that while these types of humor may “simplify the complex narratives of the Holocaust, and turn complex experiences into a line of symbols,” they “do not blunt the possibility of feeling empathy toward the victims of the Holocaust nor do they trivialize the mass murder.” Instead, this humor shows just how integral a role the Holocaust plays in the identity of second- and third-generation Israelis, who still live in fear of the Holocaust.

“Is It OK to Laugh About It?” offers an excellent analysis of Israeli culture and its approach to humor. Steir-Livny’s writing style is scholarly, but his book will appeal to general readers who are interested in the subject matter. What he offers is a glimpse of Israeli society many Americans have never encountered.

Constructing emotionsbody sensations as an emotion. What really occurred was a feeling of discomfort – a combination of being tired and hot, since the temperature in my kitchen was usually in the 80s with no air moving. When I realized this – and turned on a fan and changed my clothes to something lighter – I not only reduced the unpleasant sensations, but realized my interpretation of them as irritation was incorrect.

In “How Emotions Are Made,” Feldman also explains that different cultures may have different concepts of particular emotions. That’s because an emotion only ex-ists after we name the sensations we feel in our bodies. Some of you may be familiar with the German concept of schadenfreude, which is an emotion that means taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune. That concept is lacking in the English language, although once we are familiar with the term we may recognize the experience. Feldman lists concepts of emotions from other cultures that seem foreign because we don’t construct our emotional worlds that way.*

Her suggestion that it’s mentally healthy to consider

other emotions appeals to me. I’ve already considered sensations that I never put a name to, but which feel like an emotion. For example, after paying a visit to someone who is seriously ill, colors suddenly seem brighter. I find myself paying closer attention to the sky, trees and flowers. If I name that sensation – let’s call it post-hospital – then it becomes a defined emotion. The next time I visit a hospital and have that sensation, I can say I’m feeling post-hospital.

I’ve loved playing around with ideas like this since I was young. At one point, I’d hoped to study the human brain (that is, before discovering I was allergic to many chemicals in the lab) and am still fascinated by the latest biochemical research, especially that which combines biological and social sciences. It’s also wonderful when these books give me a new way to look at my own life.

*Some other examples from the book include “gigil (Filipino): the urge to hug or squeeze something that is unbearably adorable”; “voorpret (Dutch): pleasure felt about an event before the event takes place”; and “age-otori (Japanese): the feeling of looking worse after a haircut.”

festivals, including the San Francisco Jewish Film Festi-val, the Toronto Jewish Film Festival, the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival and the Seattle Jewish Film Festival. It has also received accolades from a variety of national critics, including Jose Sol of Pop Matters, who called it “a truly mesmerizing documentary to watch.”

Michael Kantor, the film’s director, producer and writ-er, created the six-part PBS documentary “Broadway: The American Musical,” which was nominated for five Primetime Emmy awards in 2005. It won two, including outstanding nonfiction series.

Following “Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy” on September 10, upcoming films in the festival will be “Fan-ny’s Journey” on Sunday, September 17; “On the Map” on Sunday, September 24; “Walk on Water” on Sunday, Octo-ber 1; and “The Women’s Balcony” on Sunday, October 8.

Last minute reservations are still being accepted for this year’s annual Pauline and Philip M. Piaker Memorial Lecture, which will be held on Thursday, September 7, at 7:30 pm, at the Chabad Center, 420 Murray Hill Rd., Vestal. Jay Beilis, a Bronx native and grandson of Mendel Beilis, will present on “Blood Libel: the Life and Memory of Mendel Beilis.” Jay is one of the editors of the book by that name, which includes Mendel’s memoir, “The Story

Jewish Family Service will be distributing gift baskets filled with a kosher chicken, a challah, apples and honey to low-income Jewish families in the community to enable the recipients to fix a traditional Rosh Hashanah meal. Throughout the many years that this type of program has reached out to make the High Holidays special, not only have the recipients been grateful for the foods, but especially for being remembered by the larger Jewish community.

This year, there will be some changes to the program, in that recipients will receive the fresh foods and then money to enable them to shop for the items that they particularly like. This will afford them respect for their dignity and individuality, and freedom of choice.

As in the past, the local Jewish organizations will contribute to the project with children creating greeting cards and craft items. Apples will be picked at a local farm by families who would enjoy that adventure and challah baking will be taken on by baking experts.

We Remember You 2017: spices, honey and funds needed

JFS is requesting that anyone interested in helping fund the We Remember You project please send checks to Jewish Family Service, 500 Clubhouse Rd., Vestal, NY 13850, clearly marked in the memo line, “We Remember You,” by Monday, September 11.

In addition, JFS is asking for donations of spices, because spices are a way to reduce sodium in the meal, add miner-als and antioxidants while providing “wonderful flavors.” Roz Antoun said, “When someone is on food stamps or a tight budget, buying spices is not a priority. This is a way of providing something really special.”

Antoun is asking that she be called at 724-2332 before any spices are purchased to control duplications. Honey is also needed to complete the gift baskets. Let her know what you would like to contribute so that all items can be well used.

Reservations still being accepted for annual Piaker Lecture

of My Sufferings,” in its first complete English translation. Also included will be an essay claiming that Bernard Malamud plagiarized from Mendel’s memoir in writing his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “The Fixer.”

The lecture will include a dessert reception and a book signing with Jay. Reservations are required and can be made at www.JewishBU.com/Piaker or by calling Chabad at 797-0015.

The Binghamton Legacy Torah will be welcomed into its home at the Rohr Chabad Center on Thursday, Sep-tember 7. The program will begin at 11 am on campus at Binghamton University in the Old Union Hall. After a brief program, the parade procession will wind its way from campus to Chabad. Live music, a float, torches and dancing will follow the new Torah, which will be paraded under a chuppah. Specially designed t-shirts will be distributed to all children in the procession.

When the procession reaches Chabad, the Torahs at Chabad will be brought out to welcome the new Torah. Ceremonial dancing, hakafot, will follow. A luncheon

The Binghamton Legacy Torah was completed on June 18. L-r: Alumni Jonathan Baron and Neil Kupferman held the newly completed Torah aloft for all to see.

Binghamton community members had the opportunity to watch their letters be inscribed on the occasion of Chabad’s 30th anniversary dinner in May 2015. L-r: Annette and Barry Shaw posed with scribe Rabbi Moshe Klein as he wrote their letters into the Binghamton Legacy Torah.

Binghamton Legacy Torah to arrive at Chabad Center on Sept. 7

will be held with a “build a Torah” activity available for children.

The Binghamton Legacy Torah was commissioned by the Chabad Center on the occasion of its 30th anniver-sary and was begun at a dinner marking its 30 years in November 2015. The Torah was completed this summer on June 18, in Manhattan at a celebration attended by alumni and parents. It included a parade-procession up

14th Avenue that was said to have drawn “wide interest” by onlookers and subsequently on social media. The Torah will be welcomed locally in a celebration open to the entire Jewish community of Binghamton and at Binghamton University.See “Chabad” on page 7

At the conclusion of this week’s parasha, we are doubly admonished to remember “what Amalek did to you “for eternity.” We are charged to remember, “zachor,” and not to forget, “lo tishkach.”

This repeated warning comes after the reference in parashat Beshalach to the details of the war-encounter between the nation of Amalek and the Jews. There God says to Moses, “Write this as a reminder in the book and repeat it carefully to Joshua. I will totally obliter-ate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens.” (Exodus 17:14)

One cannot help but wonder about this seemingly strange obsession with obliterating the spirit and memory of Amalek. There were, after all, many other nations who engaged the Jews in battle before their entrance

We are charged to remember Amalek

into the land of Israel. Yet, concerning no other nation do we have this unique commandment.

The answer lies in understanding the motivation of Amalek in coming to attack the Jews when he did; in analyzing the nature of his offensive. In the words of the Torah, “Zechor es asher asah l’cha Amalek, asher korcha Baderech... v’lo yorai Elokim,” “Remember what Amalek did to you, in that he encountered you on your way out of Egypt... and they did not fear God.” The word for encounter, “korcha,” which is etymologically linked to the Hebrew root “kar” defined as “cold,” is key to our understanding the importance and implications of this saga.

As the Jews traveled in the desert en route from Egypt to Sinai, they were in a state of heightened inspiration. They had just experienced the most spectacular series of

miracles: most famously (but not only), the Ten Plagues, their exodus from Egypt and the splitting of the Red Sea.

They were anticipating the revelation at Sinai. They were deeply motivated to serve the God who had so revealed himself to them and had showered so much good upon them. Similarly, the nations of the world trembled in fear of the Almighty and stood in awe of His chosen nation.

It was at this important junction that the nation of Amalek chose to launch their attack on the Jews. At a time when no other nation would have entertained the thought, Amalek ventured forth against the Jewish people in a bra-zen manner. It was specifically at this time, at the peak of their passion and devotion, that Amalek wanted to make See “Amalek” on page 7

them question their God’s powers. He sought to replace adherence with skepticism; fire with cold indifference. It is this that we are admonished to recall.

On a spiritual plane, Amalek is present in each and every one of us. The Talmud refers to this energy as the yetzer hara, the evil inclination. The yetzer hara works in much the same fashion as Amalek did. It seeks to moderate excitement, to replace enthusiasm with apathy. Of this we must be constantly aware. Few things are as insidious as cold indifference.

This reminder concerning the potent and ever-present powers of Amalek is especially important in this season. The month of Elul preceding the High Holidays is con-sidered an especially auspicious month. “The King is in the field,” God is closer to us, thus evoking a reciprocal feeling of attachment from us. Most of us are moved by the spirit and the prayers of this season, and contemplate making tangible changes in our lives.

It is at this time that the Torah admonishes us to remember Amalek, to recall how dangerous coldness and indifference can be, to be ever vigilant against this enemy so that our passion will continue through the entire year, unabated.

Amalek Continued from page 6

The JCC Friendship Club met on August 23. Bruce Orden presented an interesting program on the use of a smartphone. He said that it is really a computer. I am a college graduate, but I am over 80 and sometimes it seems like he is speaking Greek. He showed two short videos. The first one showed Stephen Feldman, who formed an organization called “Fifty Plus Institute.” He will go into the homes of older people and teach them how to use a smartphone. Bruce said that he likes a “dumb” phone. He has a flip phone. It is similar to other flip phones, such as Samsung. Bruce has an M.S. in computer science from Binghamton University. His interest was sparked in his high school senior year and he started to go to computer shows. He bought a complete set from a company that went out of business two years later. He now builds his own computers.

The second video showed Karen, a teacher from Pace University, who taught teenagers how older people feel

Ashkenazic Diasporas. Combining projected maps with music, the group will trace the Sephardic Diaspora as it left Spain in 1492. One of the most widespread songs throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East may have originated from a Jewish composer in Spain as far back as 1492. Journey West will also portray the influence of Roma, Austro-Hun-garian and Ottoman classical music on the development and evolution of klezmer music via the musical folk traditions of Romania.

Journey West tracks melodies and changing instrumenta-tion, beginning in the Middle East, traveling through Eastern and Western Europe, and finally arriving in the United States. The program will illuminate the primary factors in carrying melodies to distant locations: wars, imperialism, nomadic dispersions, mass emigrations due to political oppression and “musical crazes that sweep the globe.”

Journey West supports and performs with refugee musicians and donates five percent of its income from performance fees and CD sales directly to the UN Ref-ugee Agency. For more about Journey West, visit http://journeywestmusic.com.

The concert will be co-sponsored by Ithaca College’s Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement; the An-thropology Department of Ithaca College; and Group 73 of Amnesty International, Ithaca.

For more information about the concert, contact Rebecca Lesses, associate professor and coordinator of the Jewish Studies Program, at [email protected] or 274-3556. Indi-viduals with disabilities requiring accommodations should also contact her as soon as possible to make arrangements for attendance.

feel it’s still relevant to spiritual seekers today?Falk: It’s a challenge to look back on one’s work of

decades ago. I wrote the book I needed to write at the time, and, after 13 years in creation, I was fortunate to see it find a home in the hands of many readers and seekers. The book I would write today would, of course, be different, because I’m different – I’m two decades older, for one. My last book – “The Days Between: Blessings, Poems, and Directions of the Heart for the Jewish High Holiday Season,” which was published in 2014 – parallels “The Book of Blessings” in many ways, but expresses, I think, a slightly different sensibility.

I’m happy with the book that was published in 1996, but I leave it to others to say whether it has stood the test of time.

Esserman: Do you have particular prayers/poems in the book that you find speak to you more as you age?

Falk: “Hal’lu: Praise” has always been particularly close to me, and I find that it only becomes more so as I age. It speaks of the essential connection between beauty and transience, beauty and dying, and these days I probably think of nothing more than the subject of aging – which is to say, dying.

“Hal’lu: Praise”“Praise the world – /praise its fullness / and its longing

when using a smartphone. She gave them rubber gloves to wear so they can see how people with bigger fingers and some loss of the sense of touch in the tips of their fingers can function. She put bands on wrists and elbows for lack of ability to bend them easily. She also gave opaque glasses with a small round opening in the middle. It was interesting to see them function. They then went to a senior center and were able to teach the men and women about smartphones.

Lani Dunford texted her son in Baltimore and got an instant response. Ilya Stein, who works with computers, got into a long technical discussion with Bruce about computers.

The meeting was called to order by Sylvia Diamond. Ann Brillant said the blessing over the cookies supplied by Morty Hofstein. On Wednesday, September 6, Lani will bring in a short story to discuss. Come join us at the JCC at 1:30 pm.

praising, see“the beauty of the world / is your own.”Esserman: How do you feel about the changes in other

prayer books in the way they speak of approaching God, for example, using gender-neutral language or other words, such as Spirit, Eternal One, etc., instead of male-centered language.

Falk: I am glad for all the changes and experiments of the past two decades. The more voices and choices we have, the more inclusive the community becomes. I would caution, however, about making easy or automatic changes. It may seem preferable to speak of “Spirit” rather than “Lord” – but does “Spirit” really convey what we mean? What does calling God “Spirit” tell us about our attitude toward the body? I don’t believe one can write authentic liturgy without digging deep into theology, and the questions one must confront there are not often easy ones.

Esserman: You mention interest in writing new prayers/poems for holidays in addition to the book you published for the High Holidays. Can you speak a little to what you envision your approach to that would be?

Falk: I wish I could answer your question more directly, but I’m afraid I never know ahead what to expect from my work. I don’t sit down to plan it, at least not in the initial stages; rather, I let it emerge and only later do I develop an “approach” to bring it to completion. (Which is one of the reasons my books take so long to write!)

“This Torah is unique in that each letter, word, verse, aliyah and parasha has been purchased by a different community member, student, alumni or parent connected to Chabad. Thousands are united in this project,” explained Rabbi Aaron Slonim, executive director of the Chabad Center. “We are delighted to welcome this Torah to its home amidst great joy and celebration with our community.”

In a 1941 letter, Rabbi Joseph I. Schneerson, the sixth Lubavitcher rebbe, wrote, “That day was considered a holiday on which Tachanun ( the confessional portion of the daily prayer) was not said and all the inhabitants would look forward to the celebration in honor of the Torah.

“The completion of a Torah scroll and its installation in the synagogue should be undertaken with the participation of many people and with great fanfare, with a canopy and lit candles, song and musical instruments; the participants should dress in holiday clothing, and with great joy, dancing and the recital of Torah passages...”

Shuttle buses will be provided so participants can park their cars at Chabad and ride the bus to campus. Buses will leave Chabad at 10:30 am and 10:45 am.

Reservations will be required and can be made at www.JewishBU.com/TorahCelebration or by calling Chabad at 797-0015.

Free High Holiday child care will be offered by Tem-ple Concord Sisterhood for children ages 2-kindergarten. The service will be for parents, grandparents or whoever needs it, who are attending services at Temple Concord the morning of Rosh Hashanah, September 21, and/or the morning of Yom Kippur, September 30.

New this year is a requirement that reservations must be made by Thursday, September 7, for Rosh Hashanah morning care, and by Friday, September 15, for Yom Kippur morning care. Child care will be available at 9 am on High Holiday mornings. An adult must take the child or children to the Tot Time room on the third floor of the mansion and register them with the adult’s name, too. The adult, or someone who is known to the ushers, must inform the ushers where they will be sitting in case of an emergency. Adults are responsible for checking on children for diaper changes.

There will be no child care for children with reservations made later than two weeks prior to the holiday, or children without reservations. Sisterhood has provided child care since 1983, but this is the first time reservations two weeks prior to the holiday have been required. Reservations should be made by contacting the temple office at 723-7355 or [email protected]. Sisterhood High Holiday Child Care chairwoman is Amanda Donahue.

NEWS IN BRIEF

From JNS.orgHamas leader says relations with Iran “fantastic,” vows to liberate “Palestine”

Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas terror group’s recently elected political leader in Gaza, said on Aug. 28 that his organization has fully restored relations with Iran and is making preparations for the next war with Israel. Iran is now “the largest backer financially and militarily” of Hamas, Sinwar told reporters in his first meeting with the media since assuming his new position. Together with the Iranians, Hamas is building up its military capability and pre-paring for “the liberation of Palestine,” he said. Sinwar also emphasized that the recently renewed relations with Iran are “fantastic,” and have returned to the “former era” of close ties between Hamas and the Islamic Republic. The terror chief’s comments follow Iran’s hosting of a Hamas delegation in Tehran in August. For years, Iran served as one of Hamas’ main patrons. When protests broke out against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2011, exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal voiced support for Syrian demonstrators. As a result, Iran, a supporter of the Syrian regime, had cut off its funding to Hamas.Abbas agrees to ease crippling Gaza sanctions

(Israel Hayom/Exclusive to JNS.org) – Following a meeting with U.S. envoys, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said he’s willing to mitigate financial penalties imposed on the terror group Hamas in Gaza, a Palestinian official said. Abbas met on Aug. 27 with U.S.

Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt and Senior Presidential Adviser Jared Kushner in Ramallah as part of Washington’s efforts to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, stalled since 2014. Abbas agreed to halt the Palestinians’ diplomatic offensive against Israel for four months, reportedly in exchange for an American commitment to submit a plan within that time frame to kick-start the peace talks. As part of the sanctions imposed on Hamas, the P.A. has suspended the salaries of thousands of Hamas employees and cut its payments for electricity used in Gaza, plunging the enclave into an energy crisis. According to a Palestinian source, the Aug. 27 decision to ease the sanctions reflects Abbas’ desire to secure reconciliation between the rival Palestinian factions as Washington outlines its plans for the regional peace efforts. Under the agreement, if Israeli-Palestinian negotiations resume, Hamas would refrain from undermining them. A statement from Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah’s office said on Abbas’ orders, 6,000 civil servants in Gaza, who receive their salaries from the P.A., will not be made to retire, and several other penalties would be mitigated as well.Frankfurt passes bill to outlaw municipal funding of BDS

Frankfurt became the first German city to pass a bill outlawing municipal funding for the anti-Israel BDS movement’s activities. “The BDS movement does not only strongly resemble the ‘Don’t buy from Jews’ argumentation of former times of the National Socialists, but the movement is built on the same toxic ground and it is poisoning the social climate in the same dangerous way,” Uwe Becker, Frankfurt’s deputy mayor and city treasurer, told The Jerusalem Post. Frankfurt’s anti-BDS bill will now be voted on by the city’s parliament before it can become law.
