Th is is challenging for families of all backgrounds, but for interfaith Jewish couples, the inability to celebrate with family and friends can also raise questions about how to best celebrate both partners’ faith-based traditions. Rabbi Robyn Frisch is the Philadelphia- based director of the Rukin Rabbinic Fellowship of 18Doors, a national organi- zation dedicated to supporting interfaith Jewish couples and families. She said that while every family is diff erent, many couples who traditionally observe religious holidays with extended family are now reconsidering their approaches. “I hear this constantly from people from Jewish interfaith families: ‘We’ve always See Interfaith, Page 14 David Copperfi eld (right) is interviewed by fellow illusionist João Miranda at Copperfi eld’s International Museum and Library of the Conjuring Arts in Las Vegas.

So, finally they have a doctor for a son, if not a medical doctor,” he said. Tapper headlined Gratz 125, the Jewish education institu- tion’s virtual 125th anniversary celebration on Dec. 6. Gratz President Paul Finkelman inter- viewed him about his career, his upbringing in Philadelphia, his Jewish education and his take on current issues in journalism and politics. “In confirming this honorary degree, Gratz recognizes Jake’s significant contributions as a journalist, author and public intellectual. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated the courage, intellectual power and dedication to truth and objec- tivity that are the hallmarks of great journalism,” Finkelman said. Finkelman also noted that he could not have predicted the event that would take place just a few days before Gratz’s anniversary event. On Dec. 3, Tapper, anchor of the weekday program The Lead with Jake Tapper and host of the Sunday morning show State of the Union, became the first reporter to simultaneously interview both President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President- elect Kamala Harris since the 2020 presidential election.

We couldn’t have asked for so much,” Finkelman said. “It was a fair, tough and important interview.” He later asked Tapper if there were any questions he did not get to ask during the 40-minute interview. Tapper said he hoped he would have a chance to ask the Biden admin- istration about the Abraham Accords, and whether the Trump administration’s success at helping negotiate treaties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain would cause Biden to rethink conventional ideas about peace in the Middle East. Finkelman asked Tapper to talk about how his experi- ence attending school at Akiba Hebrew Academy — now Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy — shaped his life and career. He responded that his time at the school, particularly his study of the Talmud, instilled in him a respect for people of all faiths and backgrounds as well as an appreciation for open debate. “You really learn to value the idea of debate and discussion in a way that is very helpful for anybody in this world, but certainly helpful for anyone who goes into journalism,” he said. JEWISH EXPONENT Tapper also praised Gratz’s commitment to inclusion, noting its nondenominational approach and its decision to have men and women study together from the outset, a forward-thinking concept for the late 19th and early 20th century. “It’s an institution that has a vision for Jewish life in America that includes those of all backgrounds, which is very meaningful for me. I was raised conservative, my mom converted to Judaism, my wife converted to Judaism, we now go to a Reform temple,” he said. Tapper and Finkelman also discussed the concept of partisan media and the challenges of covering politics in a highly polarized environment. Finkelman disclosed that he had received hate mail from people on the right after announcing Tapper would receive an honorary degree. He reported receiving similar vitriol in 2018 from people on the left when he gave the same honor to lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Tapper said that he did not take political positions in his news coverage and received plenty of hate mail himself for being critical of President Barack Obama’s administra- tion. However, he said he did take a strong stance in favor of facts and decency. Courtesy of Gratz College “We can pretend that there is a ‘both sides’ when it comes to covering some of the more deranged conspiracy theories about election fraud, ones that have been shot down by judge after judge after judge, election official after election official, Democrat, Republican, nonpartisan. We can pretend, but that’s not, in my view, journalism,” he said. Tapper said that he was excited that his home city played a decisive role in the presidential election. “I liked it just because I like anything that has to do with Philadelphia, so having Philly play a role in it was exciting to me personally, no matter who ended up winning the election. I was seven when the bicenten- nial happened, so I really think of Philly as the birthplace of democracy in America,” he said. Grat z a lso presented honorary master’s degrees in Jewish studies to Regina Horden and the late Martin Horden, who both completed the equivalent of master’s degrees in courses as non-matriculating students. Jewish educator Sora Landes, the late Lois and Martin Bachman and Congregation Mikveh Israel received Gratz Medals for their contributions to the college. l spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H EADLINES Barrack Foundation Announces $1M Scholarship Fund L OCA L ANDY GOTLIEB | JE MANAGING EDITOR THE BARRACK Foundation announced it created a $1 million scholarship to assist academ- ically strong students with leadership qualities in attending the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy in Bryn Mawr. Th e Madlyn Abramson Fund for Excellence in Education and Community Leadership will provide awards and schol- arship assistance to students from middle-class families “who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and exemplify Jewish communal leadership qualities,” according to a news release. Head of School Sharon Levin said the scholarships will allow the school to attract top students. “We will really be able to put out to the community ... that Barrack is a place where if you show not only academic poten- tial but leadership, too, we want you,” she said. “We want to take every child who wants to come.” Chief Operating Officer Alex Stroker said the schol- arship serves to address a potential vacuum of future leadership akin to families like the Abramsons and Barracks, which have off ered support for the Jewish community for years. “Th ey can feel comfortable that there will be a next level taking over for them,” he said. Levin noted that indepen- dent schools like Barrack can be expensive, which can restrict the potential applicant pool. “Th ere are many people who will never look at us,” she said. “If they look at us, we have a great conversion rate ... Th is will put Barrack on the radars of more families.” Like all independent schools — Jewish or otherwise — Barrack, which has 337 students enrolled this year, faces a constant challenge in attracting students, Levin said. She pointed out that many schools are still rebuilding from the 2008 Great Recession, and the pandemic is creating a level of uncertainty going forward. “We have yet to know what this year of COVID will do,” she said, adding that the school also raised $1 million for COVID-related emergency scholarships this year. Both the Abramsons and Barracks have played a key role in the development of Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy. Madlyn Abramson died on April 15 at 84. She and her husband, Leonard, the former CEO of US Healthcare, Lynne and Len Barrack Courtesy of Jack M.

He started doing stand-up and was discovered by “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels after bombing onstage one night. Zweibel wasn’t a great performer, but Michaels liked his material. He went on to join the team that would forever change the landscape of American comedy, creating iconic sketches and charac- ters for performers like John Belushi and Gilda Radner. The memoir serves as both the story of Zweibel’s career and a tome of cultural history that shepherds readers from the sun setting on the Borscht Belt to the rise of the latest genera- tion of “SNL” performers. Writing and stand-up are often portrayed as lonely endeavors, with the creator alone with the thoughts in their head or in front of an audience. Many of Zweibel’s book projects, such as his memoir about his friendship with Radner and his novel “The Other Shulman,” were deeply personal and solitary affairs, but he also writes about the pleasures of working with a team on projects like “SNL.” “I had no idea when I first started what it was like, but when I got to ‘SNL’ it was a group, you helped each other, you’re there to give each other better jokes and make the jokes as good as possible,” he said in a separate interview.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t or you shouldn’t.” He writes about his experience with a critic, the late Roger Ebert, who loathed one of his movies so much he used the word “hate” 10 times in the review. Zweibel went into a tailspin before deciding he wasn’t going to give Ebert power over him. The two men even ended up on friendly terms when they recognized each other in the bathroom of a restaurant in Chicago. “And I just have to tell you, Roger, that that sweater you’re wearing?

A Chinese Jewish writer encounters racism during a meeting that could launch his career. An adopted Black Jewish girl is embraced by her parents but rejected by her aunt. These are just some of the stories in “True Colors,” a play about the ethnic, racial and cultural diversity of the American Jewish community. Theatre Ariel in Merion Station partnered with The Braid, the Los Angeles-based Jewish theater company formerly known as Jewish Women’s Theatre, which created the play, as well as with Jews in ALL Hues to bring a virtual production of the performance to the second salon of their season on Dec. 3. The show features actors Brie Eley, Heidi Mendez, Joshua Silverstein, Katherine Washington and Kimberly Green performing monologues written by Jews of color about their experiences with race, love, family and faith. The monologues are interspersed with musical performances by Washington and Silverstein. Some of the play’s charac- ters are born to families who can trace their Jewish ancestry back for generations. Others are adopted or convert to the faith. Some have two Jewish parents, others have one — or zero. They all share their experiences searching for community as a part of a minority within a minority. One actor, Silverstein, also contributed his own monologue for the play.

There are common threads running through each of the stories: questions about identity, experiences with racism inside and outside the Jewish commu- nity, and a desire to find one’s place in the world. A partic- ularly heartwarming theme is the presence of supportive non-Jewish family members and partners in the subjects’ lives. Many non-Jewish parents of Jewish children in the play support the cultural and religious upbringing their Theatre Ariel’s founding artistic director Deborah Baer Mozes and playwright Jesse Bernstein hosted a Q&A session with the actors, director Susan Morgenstern and a selection of writers who contributed to the play. Several of the writers and story subjects spoke about what it was like to see the actors portray their experiences in front of an audience. “I literally felt like it was me speaking. It just felt so surreal, very touching. I had tears in my eyes,” Tanya Gold said. She was featured in her sister Gee’s monologue, “The Men in My Life.” Maria Ramos-Chertok wrote a story performed by Mendez about her experience growing up as the daughter of a mother who converted to Catholicism from Judaism and a Catholic Cuban father. “All of these stories were like, ‘Oh, these are my people!’” said “I related to every story, different aspects of every story. And it just made me feel less alone.” Mozes expressed gratitude for the partnership that made the performance possible and pointed out that it never would have happened if not for the pandemic. “I truly believe this is a really important work of theater, particularly for this moment in time, in American discourse,” she said.

Dahl, who was best known for “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “James and the Giant Peach,” was openly anti-Semitic, telling the New Statesmen in 1983, “Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.” Dahl died in 1990. Dahl’s family released an undated, unsigned 86-word apology on his website, The Sunday Times reported. “Those prejudiced remarks are incomprehensible to us and stand in marked contrast to the man we knew and to the values at the heart of Roald Dahl’s stories, which have positively impacted young people for gener- ations,” the apology read, in part. “We hope that, just as he did at his best, at his absolute worst, Roald Dahl can help remind us of the lasting impact of words.” Jewish groups in Great Britain aren’t fully satisfied with the apology. “The admission that the famous author’s anti- Semitic views are ‘incomprehensible’ is right.

H EADLINES ISRAELBRIEFS Ethiopian Immigrants Arrive in Israel MORE THAN 300 ETHIOPIAN JEWS arrived in Israel on Dec. 3 in the opening phase of a plan called Operation Tzur Israel that will bring 2,000 Ethiopians in all, Th e Times of Israel reported. Th e Ethiopians arrived via an airlift from Gondar that Absorption and Immigration Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata headed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and Alternate Prime Minister/Defense Minister Benny Gantz were among those greeting them at Ben Gurion Airport. Many of those arriving waved Israeli fl ags as they left the plane, while some passengers kissed the ground. Some of the arrivals had waited more than 15 years to emigrate. Th ose who already have family in Israel will have to wait two weeks to see them because of coronavirus guidelines that require all arrivals to isolate. In addition, they will spend their fi rst few months in Israel at an absorption center, where they will learn Hebrew. A second group of 500 Ethiopians arrived the following day, with the remainder expected before the end of January. Israel’s Fiscal Defi cit Rises Israel’s fi scal defi cit has increased to 11.1% of gross domestic product, in large part because of the economic consequences of the pandemic, Globes reported. Th e defi cit is now NIS 151.3 billion, or about $46.5 billion. Th e Minister of Finance expects the defi cit will continue to grow, reaching 13% of GDP in 2021. Th e Ministry of Finance said it has spent NIS 59.4 billion ($18.2 billion) on aid related to deal with the pandemic’s economic impact, with NIS 101.4 billion ($31.1 billion) in all added to the economy from various sources. COVID-19 Cases Nearly Double in Two Weeks Israel’s Health Ministry said on Dec. 7 that the average number of daily new cases of COVID-19 grew to 1,318, up from 750 new cases a day reported on No. 22, according to Th e Times of Israel. Figures are based on seven-day averages. In addition, the number of people hospitalized in serious condition is growing, with 331 patients in serious condition — including 112 on ventilators — compared to 260 a week ago. Th e death toll is now 2,917. Th e total number of confi rmed cases since the start of the pandemic is 345,201. Th ere are 12,776 active cases. Further restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus are being considered by government offi cials. Sea of Galilee Likely to Be Full for First Time Since 1992 An especially wet November has raised expectations that the Sea of Galilee will be full this winter for the fi rst time since 1992, Globes reported. Th e Israel Water Authority had a dress rehearsal on Nov. 29 for opening the Deganya dam, which allows water to exit the lake’s southern end, down the Jordan River and into the Red Sea. Heavy rains have pushed the Sea of Galilee (also known as Kinneret) to about 210 meters below sea level, about 1.16 meters from its maximum level. Israel had 130% of its average annual rainfall in the past year, with some parts of northern Israel reporting up to 200%. ● — Compiled by Andy Gotlieb JEWISHEXPONENT.COM BUSINESS DIRECTORY NEED A NEW BANK?

Do we have Christmas dinner? How are we going to deal with these things that we’re very comfortable doing with one set of grandparents, but now we have a parent that really wants to do in our home?’” she said. Frisch and the 18Doors staff have helped couples start these conversations and decide on celebrations that work best for them. 18Doors is hosting online presentations and discussions on topics such as “To Tree or Not to Tree” and “Unlocking the December Holidays – For Couples with Young Kids/ Th inking About Kids.” Interfaith couples in Philadelphia are coming up with creative ways to honor their favorite traditions despite the need for social distancing. Jackie Abrams and her husband Scott Middleton throw a yearly holiday party for Linda Ziman with her daughter, Cecelia Ziman-DeStefano, and her wife, Monika Wysong Courtesy of Linda Ziman their friends — complete with ugly sweater contests and gift exchanges — that combines both of their religious traditions. “We have a tree and we have dreidels, menorahs and we really mesh all of the traditions into one very festive evening for our extended friend group, and that is certainly a tradi- tion that we really love,” said Abrams, who is Jewish. Th e party can’t happen this year, but they are fi guring out other ways to celebrate, such as doing a cookie drop-off or an online trivia night.

Amanda and Stephen Nicolai typically celebrate Chanukah with eight nightly themes. “It’s a really fun tradition that we started to carry on with our daughter as well, and as she gets older, we will add some community service into that and family game nights, things like that,” said Amanda Nicolai, who is Jewish. Her family also celebrates Christmas with Midnight Mass and a large gathering with her husband’s Catholic side of the family. Th is year, they plan to celebrate Chanukah with her sister and father, but they have canceled the 30-person Christmas feast that usually takes place in their South Philadelphia home due to lack of space for social distancing. Dr. Linda Ziman is Jewish, and her wife Monika Wysong was raised Catholic. Th ey usually celebrate Chanukah with their daughter Cecelia Ziman-DeStefano as a nuclear family and attend church in their neighborhood of West Mount Airy on Christmas Eve. “I love singing ‘Silent Night’ in the dark with the candles glowing in everyone’s hands. I always throw in a ‘Shema Yisrael’ for good measure,” Ziman said. Th ey exchange gift s the next day with Ziman’s in-laws. Th is year, they will be doing that on Zoom.

Graham-Moskowitz was raised Christian but now identifi es as spiritual rather than religious, and she started observing Kwanzaa fi ve years ago, which they will also celebrate this year. She and her husband are Courtesy of Jackie Abrams planning to have children and raise them Jewish with an awareness of their interfaith cultural background. They believe it is important to start incorporating their rituals into their lives for this reason. “When we got married, we talked about raising our children in the Jewish faith. We’re making JEWISHEXPONENT.COM F TAY-SACHS R F R E E E E H eadlines that a part of our everyday life now so that it feels very natural when they come into the world, and they don’t have to question their identity as biracial Ashkenazi Jewish children,” Graham-Moskowitz said. All of their celebrations will be virtual this year, and the couple will be home with their puppy, Brisket. Although the pandemic has put a damper on many beloved traditions, the 2020 holiday season also offers a historic reason to celebrate. Some inter- faith couples are excited about the ascendance of Vice President- elect Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff next year. Harris was raised Christian and Hindu, and Emhoff is Jewish, as are his children. Abrams hopes the couple’s visibility and success will encourage more conserva- tive Jewish communities to be open-minded and inclu- sive toward interfaith couples. Nicolai, who broke up with her husband over faith differences before they worked through them with a counselor, hopes interfaith couples look to the second family as a source of inspiration. “I do love that someone in an interfaith relationship is now going to be part of the White House,” she said. “I know a lot of interfaith couples that have broken up, but seeing someone in a position of power making it work is really powerful.” Rabbi Elyssa Cherney, Rukin Rabbinic Fellow at 18Doors in Philadelphia, thinks that the couple’s prominence will help interfaith couples feel less isolated. Some of the people she works with don’t have any family or friends in interfaith relationships, and representa- tion matters. “I think that this couple being a part of mainstream media and, I hope, being looked at in a good light will just normalize that experience for so many people,” she said. l spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Copperfield Continued from Page 1 Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Steven Spielberg and Irving Berlin. “We are thrilled and grateful to be able to induct Harry Houdini and David Copperfield into Only in America at the same time,” NMAJH trustee and gala chair Sharon Tobin Kestenbaum said in a statement. “With this event, we are able to celebrate a cross-generational story. From immigrant Harry Houdini to first-generation American David Copperfield, this event clearly demonstrates what’s possible when individuals are simply given the chance to be great.” The induction will include remarks by 2019 Academy of Magical Arts winners Lucy Darling and Asi Wind and descendants of Houdini. Darling is more well-known as “The Mistress of Magic”; Wind, once voted “Best Magician in Israel,” was born in Tel Aviv. Copperfield, whose previous honors include 21 Emmy Awards, 11 Guinness World Records and the Living Legend honor from The Library of Congress, will accept the award and perform illusions from his International Museum and Library of the Conjuring Arts in Las Vegas. It’s an appropriate venue for accepting such an award. Copperfield’s library houses the world’s largest collec- tion of historically significant magic memorabilia, posters, books, props and artifacts, and even boasts tricks that belonged to Houdini himself: the Water Torture Cell and the Metamorphosis Trunk. Copperfield himself will induct Houdini into the NMAJH Hall of Fame. Copperfield, who was born David Seth Kotkin, has always felt a connection to Houdini, born Erik Weisz, on the basis of their shared Jewishness and excitement about the possi- bilities of magic. If the United States provided a feeling for Jews that they could make what they some blamed on those dastardly magicians. “Somebody said in their story that there was a magic chemical that somebody mistak- enly dumped into the air conditioning system,” Copperfield remembered with a chuckle. “And maybe the magicians were to blame for this horrible thing that took place.” Copperfield and Houdini will be the 22nd and 23rd inductees into David Copperfield will be inducted into the National Museum of American Jewish the hall of fame, joining History’s Ed Snider Only in America Ginsburg, Spielberg, Berlin, Gallery/Hall of Fame.

YOURMAN THIS FALL, in the midst of a pandemic that has marked an uptick in our reliance on tech to keep us learning, working, connected and entertained, a group of former tech execu- tives in Silicon Valley released a cautionary documentary called “The Social Dilemma.” The film has received critical acclaim for exposing the ways that tech companies monitor our online behavior, then use that information to feed us the very ads, videos and news that they calculate will keep us on their platforms for as long as possible — not for our own benefit, but to maximize their profits. The film advances the claim that the result of all this monitoring and interfering has been a host of social ills, from impaired teen mental health to increased political polarization. Just one year earlier, in the fall of 2019, Webby Awards founder and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Tiffany Shlain released her book “24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week,” a personal, spiritual and intellectual journey through her family’s decade-long celebration of a 24-hour “Technology Shabbat,” beginning at sundown every Friday. In her book, she mines Jewish and other sources (including Abraham Joshua Heschel’s lovely volume “The Sabbath”) to recommend the Tech Shabbat as a human-cen- tered approach to managing the tech in our lives. Jewish but not observant, technologically-savvy but able to cast a critical eye on the tech industry, Shlain makes the compelling argument that everyone — Jewish or not, religious or not — stands to benefit from a day’s respite from their digital devices each week. Shlain credits her Tech Shabbats as enabling her to carve out much-needed offline time to devote to family, self-reflection, creative pursuits and rest. Shlain’s book stands in bright relief against the dark dystopian glare of “The Social Dilemma.” While the Silicon Valley executives interviewed for the film visibly struggle to suggest ways we can take back our autonomy from the relentless pull of notifications, streaks, autoplays and click- bait, Shlain clearly believes it’s possible. As she puts it, if we are able to take regular breaks from our tools, including our digital devices, then it signi- fies that we have the ability to control them (rather than be controlled by them). And while it will take far more than a weekly screen sabbatical to revolutionize the business model of big tech and make it more humane, the Tech Shabbat is an empowering step in the right direction. Shlain’s idea isn’t new, of course, since many in our community already take a weekly 25-hour respite from all forms of work, including use of digital devices, every Shabbat. But Shlain aims to make the practice of a weekly tech sabbatical universal and, for naysayers and doubters, even doable, meaningful and necessary. Her book is there- fore also a practical how-to for those who have never experienced a tech sabbatical, particularly a weekly one, with tips for surviving and thriving offline each week. Her reliance on an ancient Jewish practice to manage the contempo- rary problem of technological overuse and overdependence is extraordinary in its simplicity. Judaism to the rescue again! In the fall of 2018, a year before Shlain’s book was released, a friend forwarded to me an article about a different Jewish tech sabbat- ical — a 30-minute screen-free Chanukah challenge. The challenge was simple: Celebrants were encouraged to put down their smartphones for 30 minutes after lighting Chanukah candles, to more intentionally celebrate the holiday. Proponents of the challenge recognized the incompat- ibility of sacred time and tech, Chanukah candles and smartphone use. Watching the flames and enjoying Chanukah treats, songs and dreidel games require us to look up and out toward candles and, if present, family and friends. In doing so, we adopt a physical stance and conscious mindset that triumphantly commemo- rate miracles small and large, historic and present day. Conversely, smartphones and other personal digital devices set invisible partitions between us as we hunch over and look down, creating a sense of isolation and imparting an impression of loss, retreat and defeat that is incompatible with the spirit of the holiday. As this is the year of Zoom, we may find ourselves joining loved ones near and far to celebrate Chanukah collec- tively, by screen. Which is fine. But what if our commu- nity accepted the Chanukah challenge this year and dedicated time to be with family and friends, present or pixilated, by setting aside personal use of digital devices for a brief 30 minutes, even for just one night of the holiday? And then perhaps we might be inspired to do it again, every week, from sundown Friday until nightfall on Saturday, to elevate the holiness of Shabbat or — depending on one’s needs and personal point of view — to break loose from big tech, reconnect with family and friends, foster creativity and autonomy, experience human flourishing, be more present and mindful, or restore moments of rest and meaning that, since biblical times, have been our Jewish birthright. l Growing up, I experienced “othering” from the white and Christian communities in my hometown of Montgomery. When I was a Hebrew school teacher for my synagogue, a police officer was stationed every week to ensure that we could meet safely. Students in elementary school would invite me to their mega-church services and try to “save” me from my impending doom in hell. My mom packed what other kids would call “smelly” lunches and gawk at the bento box items that I thought were far better than their Lunchables pizzas. Many people assumed I was great at math, but after asking me for help, they quickly realized otherwise. I’ve been called “exotic looking” and have heard a variety of attempts at the ethnic guessing game. Every so often, even outside the South, I get a confused stare. People try to decipher my mixed identity by just ... staring at me, hoping to identify what isn’t normal, what isn’t white. While the racism and discrimination I faced was painful, the lasting pain has come from the communities I Corinne E.

My Parents’ Love Is Not a Punchline BY HANAH BLOOM I’M THE DAUGHTER of a white Jewish-American dad and a Japanese immigrant mom, and I grew up in Alabama. As you can guess, this made 16 DECEMBER 10, 2020 growing up in the American Deep South quite interesting. Amid the external anti- Semitism and racism I faced, the joke within the Jewish and Asian communities that my parents were meant for each other hurts the most; it trans- lates into a gross invalidation of my parents’ love. Although it could be plausible that the two groups can bond over shared minority experiences, the more nefarious explanation for this so-called “perfect match” is the model minority myth. My parents met in a “meet cute” fashion of situational fate. My mom won the opportunity to tour the Yokosuka naval base twice as a civilian. Who was the handsome American sailor serving as the tour guide both times? My dad. The family joke is that my mother “won the lottery twice.” After the two fell in love, I was born in a U.S. naval hospital in Italy with an Italian birth certificate, a Japanese birth certificate and an American birth certificate. After my dad retired from the Navy, we moved to an area with an infamous history of hostility toward people of color and non-Christians: sweet home Alabama.

I was born in Philadelphia and have been a lifelong resident of South Jersey, since my parents moved to New Jersey when I was 3 months old (I am now 66) — and they continued to subscribe even when they moved to New Jersey and now I and my wife continue to subscribe to the Exponent. I can’t imagine not having it. May you continue to keep the Exponent a source of news and information for the Jewish community! Alvin Stern | Cherry Hill, New Jersey to provide opportunities for our most vulnerable citizens, which Panzer’s words beautifully and skillfully emphasize. When I was privileged to be a counselor at Jewish Family and Children’s Service and director of its family life education, Sadie Ginns, of blessed memory, a devoted social worker, worked 24/7 with those who arrived in Philadelphia from countries all over the world, in order to assist in employment, locate homes and schools for their children and, of course, synagogues to welcome them. Those in my profession stand on the shoulders of the tireless professionals who introduced couples and family therapy, sex therapy, group therapy, family life ed, short-term interactive therapy, and surely, if not founded, co-founded social and public policy. Again, thank you for Panzer’s wonderful, informative, uplifting tribute to Kahn, and the proud, historic profession of social work. Sarakay Smullens | Philadelphia Message from the Archbishop Greetings to all of my brothers and sisters of the Jewish faith tradition as you celebrate the beautiful Festival of Lights. Please accept my prayerful best wishes, along with those of the clergy, religious and faithful of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. As you light the menorah and recall the glory of the Temple’s rededication, may you be illuminated by the brightness of joy and hope amidst the darkness of these challenging times. Shalom Aleichem! Most Reverend Nelson J. Pérez | Archbishop of Philadelphia A Couple of Issues With Word Choice In the Dec. 3 Newsbriefs article about Walter Mosley, I was taken back by the reference to his “Jewish mother,” with the implication that it would be assumed that she would be a white person and a “Black father” with the implication that he would be assumed to be non-Jewish. That seems to play into stereotypes. The explanation of the term “yenta” as being a “busybody and gossip” (“Lil’ Yentas Serves Jewish Vegan Comfort Food,” Dec. 3) is similar to giving a definition of the word “john” as meaning “toilet.” It may be slang for that, but nevertheless it is a name, just as Yenta is a name. I happen to know a few women who happen to be named Yenta. Sandy Falcone | Broomall Social Work Justly Acknowledged It was marvelous to read Sophie Panzer’s superb page one tribute to the commit- ments and mission of Dorothy C. Kahn (“Great Depression Social Work Story Has Lessons for Today,” Nov. 26) — to the profession of social work in general and to Jewish social work in particular. While my social work programs at Catholic University and the University of Pennsylvania offered excellent clinical grounding, both schools emphasized that a grad degree in social work was a promise to work tirelessly throughout our lives A NOTICE TO OUR READERS There will be no print edition of the Jewish Exponent the week of Dec. 31. That week, please visit us online at jewishexponent.com, where the paper will be available in digital form. JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Life After 75 Is Worth Living Ezekiel Emmanuel (“UPenn Doctor to Serve on COVID Task Force,” Nov. 19) does not belong on a health care task force because he has written that living to 75 years is quite sufficient and these people should be denied health care to detect and treat cancer and other life threatening illnesses. He said post-75-year-olds are faltering and declining. Verdi was 79 when he wrote Falstaff. I am 75 years old and play golf three times a week, walking the course; I teach advanced music appreciation; I sing and lead Shabbat services at shul. My career was as an academic neurologist and drug developer. I taught neurology at Penn and taught medical ethics at Medical College of Pennsylvania. I would treat all patients with dignity and would not patronize the elderly. I treated disease regardless of age. If a person was unable to recover and had serious illness that impacted mental capacity, I would encourage less aggressive treatment but age was not the sole criterion. I can only hope that Dr. Emmanuel will not try to deny a COVID vaccine or COVID treatment to the elderly. Denying treatment based on age is against medical ethics. Neil Sussman | Philadelphia There’s More to Shabbat Than Going Without Tech Olivia Sher, in her opinion piece (“Shabbat Transformed, Reinvigorated,” Nov. 19), should have focused her work on the fact that she and her friends were more interested in the results of the presidential election than of being an Orthodox Jew observing Shabbos. It is unfortunate for her that her understanding of traditional Shabbos obser- vance means only going without technology for 25 hours. This is only partly so. To truly envelop oneself in the Shabbos experience, one must take a “vacation” from all things in the outside world; to rest creatively, physically and spiritually. Nowhere in her article did I find her ability to “let go” of the rest of the week and focus on Shabbos. She may have (almost) followed the letter of the law, but totally missed the spirit of it. I truly hope that one day Sher will come to a greater understanding of how Shabbos was meant to be observed in its traditional sense. Whoever the presi- dent would be, nothing would change that in those 25 hours. Each Shabbos is precious — no more than any other including the one that fell on Nov. 7. l Susan Yitzhak | Philadelphiai STATEMENT FROM THE PUBLISHER We are a diverse community.

Place a colander over a large mixing bowl. Move the grated potatoes to the colander and let them sit for 5-10 minutes to drain. Squeeze more moisture out of the potatoes with your palm. Move the potatoes to a second large bowl. Pour out the potato water from the bowl under the colander, but keep the potato starch accumulated under the water. Scrape the potato starch into the bowl with the potatoes. Add the remaining ingredi- ents (except the oil). Mix well with a wooden spoon. Fill two large skillets with ¼-inch of corn oil.

On the long, emotionally fraught ride, the soldier, who is driven to the appointment by his father, does the sort of soul-level struggling that makes great fiction possible.

In the only story that doesn’t settle this question one way or the other, “Amour,” the narra- tor’s love interest yearns for life with her old boyfriend, Ezra, who would take her to the Film Forum to see Pasolini and Fellini movies. The existence of a Ph.D. is not directly addressed in that story but the characters in these stories, published in the last 18 years, live in a blur of endowed chairs and second homes, and own their apart- ments in New York, Tel Aviv or both. They take solo vacations to Kyoto and have opinions on opera and work for architects. There’s nothing wrong with writing about a small milieu; the function of fiction, after all, is to suggest universality through interrogation of the partic- ular, whether that particular is middle- to upper-class or more down-to-earth, as in Roth’s Weequahic or Ferrante’s Naples. But what hinders Krauss’ stories is that her characters are often residents of the same emotional neighborhood. Slowly encroaching calamity, represented with fire (plus doomed relationships) in “End Days” and with an unexplained toxic event (plus a doomed relationship) in “Future Emergencies” is met in both cases with characters who, despite frantic internal conflict, do nothing. The narrators of “In the Garden,” “Switzerland” and “Amour” begin their stories with variants of, “Let me tell you about a thing that happened to me decades ago that I was recently reminded of, and that still looms large in my self-conception.” Everyone who is Jewish wears it awkwardly, like trying to shrug on a tallit that won’t quite stay on the shoulders. To read these stories can sometimes feel like watching a one-woman show — the characters are numerous, but you can see it’s the same person. The stories that more directly concern the title premise are more successful. Fathers or father-figures loom large in the lives of their daughters in “Zusya on the Roof,” “I Am Asleep but My Heart Is Awake,” “End Days,” “To Be a Man” and “Seeing is most thoughtfully considered. In “To Be a Man,” what the fathers or father-figures did to socialize themselves into daughter-raisers is a mystery to those daughters, who are usually mistreated by their romantic partners. How does a man doing this to me become a man who loves his daughters? The women learn that men are capable both of great violence and tenderness, and that the two impulses live within them always. The men in the life of the narrator — the German boxer lover, who is “pure wolf” in bed; her IDF enlistee brother, who is taught to numb himself to his pain and that of others; a male friend, who recalls his adolescent violence — all stood where her teenage son stands now, “out on a bank between the shore and a sea that goes on and on.” All the narrator can hope for is that he’ll keep an eye on the shore as the waters continue to rise. Krauss’ writing is phenom- enal, and to read her stories, even those that don’t quite Courtesy of Harper succeed, is to treat yourself to bite after bite of an exceedingly Ershadi.” In these stories, as well rich cake.

Follow us @jewishexponent 24 DECEMBER 10, 2020 JEWISH EXPONENT JEWISHEXPONENT.COM T orah P ortion The Most Important Chanukah Candle BY RABBI ERIC YANOFF Parshat Vayeshev A 7-YEAR-OLD member of my synagogue once asked me, “Rabbi, which is the most important candle on the chanu- kiyah (Chanukah menorah)?” What a great question! At first I wondered aloud: Is it the shammash, whose job it is to light the others? Perhaps. After all, we learn in the Talmud (Shabbat 122a): “Ner l’echad, ner l’me’ah” — a candle that can light one other has the same kindling power as a candle that can light a hundred others without itself being diminished. Indeed, that is the role that rabbis, educators, parents, guardians and others embrace for ourselves — that we gain emotional strength and inspira- tion by lighting a spark in others. Are we, like the shammash, the most important candle? But then, the tables were turned, and my young congre- gant reasoned aloud, “But rabbi, the shammash doesn’t even count toward the number of days on the chanukiyah! Sure, it makes the other ones count, but if it goes out, we’re still fine, the mitzvah is still fulfilled, right?” I paused. I smiled. And as has happened in many of my best times as a rabbi, the tables turned: I wondered who the shammash is now? Who is lighting whom? Who is teaching whom? And then he offered a different interpre- tation: The most important candle, he suggested, is the next one to be lit. Yes, the next candle is most important. After all, each successive night of Chanukah we light the newest day’s candle first. It is in keeping with the sage Hillel, who famously explained why we add a candle each night with the overriding Jewish value ma’alin ba-ko- desh v’ein moridin — that we should always strive to grow in holiness and never to diminish. We should constantly seek that next candle, that newest spark. And here’s why that next light is the most important light: Because at the moment just before it is ignited, it could go either way. The flame, the relationship, the curiosity, the Jewish connec- tion could be nurtured — or extinguished. That’s also why it’s so important, what we do with each of those opportunities to “light up” a person curious about Judaism. It’s why we are desperate to not miss a single chance — each chance, each time — each candle, each child, each person of any age, seeking to be “lit up,” Jewishly, a little bit more. In a sense, when I was asked that question about which candle is most important, the asker was the answer. The fact that this young asker was curious was my chance to light the newest and, in that moment, most important flame. Because each time, it can go either way. Each time, it’s that crucial. We learn this from the last verse of our Torah portion this week: After Joseph, locked in a dungeon with Pharaoh’s cupbearer, interprets the wine steward’s dream to mean that he will be freed, and he is, we read: “V’lo zachar sar ha-mashkim et-Yosef, vayish- kacheihu — The cup-bearer did not remember Joseph, but rather forgot him entirely” (Genesis 40:23). This person, brought forth into freedom, quickly forgot that there was another person who had given him hope in the darkness of Pharaoh’s dungeon. CAN DL E L IGHTIN G Dec. 11 Dec. 18 The commentator Bekhor Shor interprets the odd repeti- tion in the verse — both that the cupbearer “did not remember” and that he “forgot” — with the understanding that this forgetfulness was not out of purposeful, mindful hatred, but that Joseph simply fell out of his thoughts. Joseph and his impressive dream inter- pretation faded benignly away, not due to malice, but like a skill that falls out of practice, it atrophied, fell to the side, dehabituated and unattended. The cupbearer just moved on from that interaction that had sparked a candle of hope. He just kept going, living his life, as if that miracle had not happened. And once forgotten, if it does not remain, appre- ciated and remembered and embraced and inspiring — then it might as well have not happened. We cannot forget like that. In this moment, we, too, are in a dark time. Though I am in awe of our sense of innovation and resilience, many of our most redemptive practices (Jewishly and otherwise) have fallen into disuse, out of necessity to protect against the pandemic — how we gather, celebrate, comfort 4:18 p.m. 4:20 p.m. and hope. Desperate after these many months for some glimmer of hope, we may now see the very beginnings of a light to guide us along a path ahead. Let us not forget that the next step, the next spark, if we choose to ignite it, may be the most critical. Because we know, from all of the less-than-encouraging news over many months, that that next light is far from a sure thing. And yet Hillel reminds us, ma’alin ba-kodesh: The best is yet to come. Candle by candle, moment by moment, despite the odds, we add light, we improve, we illumine a path through the darkness, raising ever higher in holiness and hope. l Rabbi Eric Yanoff is one of the rabbis at Adath Israel in Merion Station and is co-president of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia.

She was the daughter of Joseph and Fannie Mistetzky, and the youngest sister of Norman, Sam, Luba, and Masha. She was the wife of Jack Bayer. Evelyn is survived by her beloved sons Dennis (Aggie), Todd (Carolyn), Mitchell(Hil- ary), and grandchildren Jonah (Victoria), Vanessa, Brooke, and Alex. Born in Cleve- land, Ohio, Evelyn was the only American born in a family of Russian immigrants. Watching her father build homes and later her parents both run a small grocery, Evelyn came to know the promise of the American dream and the values of hard work and self- determination. Evelyn met her sweetheart, Jack Bayer, as a teenager, and the couple en- joyed a loving 61-year marriage before Jack’s passing in 2006. They raised their three sons in Shaker Heights, Ohio, before relocating to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1968. There Evelyn set up a home and quickly adjusted to a new life in a new city. She spent this next chapter of her life traveling abroad with her doting husband, whose position as president of an international corporation took the couple all over the world. It was during these travels that Evelyn’s wit, style, and curiosity helped turn business associations into genu- ine lifelong connections. Evelyn made friends wherever they went, and she had a story about practically any city or country that you could name. Until her last days, Evelyn’s memory remained remarkably sharp. From boat rides in Capri to nights in Egypt during the 1970s, she could readily recall the most granular details of her life. A Cleveland girl at heart, she saw herself as a Midwesterner and considered Cleveland her true home. Still, Evelyn embraced her life in Philadelphia, where she and Jack enjoyed years of love and laughter surrounded by friends and family at their home down the shore and at dinners at the former Locust Club. Evelyn and Jack were active sponsors of the Greater Philadelphia chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Founda- tion. Evelyn was a woman of phenomenal taste, sharp humor, and understated eleg- ance. Nothing gave her more joy than a good mystery book, movie, or TV show. She was a proud mother, adoring grandmother, and a loving wife. The Bayer family welcomes donations in Evelyn’s name to either the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter, or the Jewish Family & Children Services, www.jfc- sphilly.org.

GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS www.goldsteinsfuneral.com Sylvia Heisman (nee: Polsky) Nov. 28, 2020. Throughout her life, Sylvia expressed a deep appreciation for her mother-Bess and her father-Tom. She acknowledged a closeness to her sister Beatrice and brother Martin and adored her 5 Aunts and 2 Uncles and was al- ways grateful for a warm and loving child- hood. She graduated Atlantic City High in 1938 with academic and athletic honors. She was then accepted into, and graduated from, the highly regarded American Academy for Dramatic Art in New York City. Sylvia met her husband, Marvin and married in January of 1943. For 56 years, they shared a union of devotion, romance and adventure. As a moth- er of three daughters, she always considered herself a “happy housewife.” Though when Marvin realized a need for a career change, her life underwent a grand and unexpected change. With an astute business acumen and innate sense of aesthetics, she rose to the occasion, and on her own, opened the “Fine Arts Gallery of Ardmore.” The Gallery brought with it a busy lifestyle change that offered op- portunity for growth and travel which she ad- apted to with pleasure. Though Sylvia’s true passion remained her dedication to friends and family. She was a talented cook and a warm and fun loving hostess. She created many celebratory dinner parties recognizing the Jewish Holidays and life events that made everyone there feel valued. Sylvia loved to sing and dance. She had a flair for beauty and a great sense of style. She was a voracious reader and stayed well informed about world events. She played tennis and golf and was hard to beat at Scrabble and Boggle. Sylvia was a woman who was greatly respected by all who knew her. She had an unsurpassed sense of kindness and generosity. Within her family, she often sought after wisdom which earned her the nick- name “Rabbi.” Sylvia faced life’s challenges with courage and gusto. Ongoing, she reached out to others and wanting the best for them and she ac- complished just that. She made the lives of all of us who had the privilege of knowing her better and sweeter. She will be dearly missed. Sylvia is survived by her daughters Michele Colucci, Nancy Somers and Betsy Tinkham. She is also survived by 5 grandchil- dren and 2 great-grandchildren.

GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S RAPHAEL-SACKS www.goldsteinsfuneral.com TO PLACE A MEMORIAL AD CALL 215.832.0749 SANDLER Rose Sandler, on November 23rd, 2020. Our beloved daughter Rose, age 39, fell victim to the agony of Depression. She is survived by her parents, Jay and Lisa Sandler, her sister Jenny, her aunts, uncles and cousins, and her beloved feline companion, Beedie. Rose was a world traveler, an experienced eques- trian, fisherwoman, ocean Scuba diver, and much more. She graduated from Penn State with a degree in Special Engineering, and went to work at Sikorsky Aircraft Corpora- tion in Stratford, CT. She developed a partic- ular interest in Material Science and worked with composite materials for the aerospace industry. Rose was exuberant, adventurous, fearless, and was open to learning about any- thing and everything. Among many adven- tures, she completed the Mongol Derby and rode camels in the Gobi Desert during the Mongolian winter. She also learned about PA wildflowers and mushrooms from her Mom. Her Dad got her a Sailrite heavy duty sewing machine and she enjoyed repairing torn horse blankets. When Rose wasn’t traveling, she paddled with the Hanohano Outrigger Ca- noe Club and her beloved Paddle Sisters. With that experience, she was then able to join her Aunt Meryl on the annual Pink Pad- dlers’ cancer survivors Voyage to Lanai. At a moment’s notice, her Aunt Abby in L.A. would swoop in like a Guardian Angel and stay with Rose for a week or more, helping her and taking care of anything that needed to be done. She was repeatedly dragged down by her illness, but always came out of it. She finally lost her brutal battle with De- pression. We all lost our Rose despite all the therapies and medical professionals, and our continued attention to her needs and prob- lems. For the past several years, Rose had been living in Poway, San Diego County, working for General Atomics; in July, she re- located to Pipersville to live with her parents. Because of Covid, her burial was private. She was laid to rest at Green Meadows in Foun- tain Hill, PA, a natural cemetery that will bloom with native wildflowers in the Spring. She has left her family, friends, and many others she adventured with throughout the world, bereaved and heartbroken. Rose loved volunteering with Traveling Stories, a non- profit organization dedicated to improving the reading skills of low-income kids. Donations in Rose’s memory may be made to traveling- stories.com, or to your local food pantry. GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS www.goldsteinsfuneral.com Honor the memory of your loved one... WEINSTEIN Arnold (Arnie) Weinstein born April 15, 1928 in Wynnefield, PA died of a life well lived and of heart failure with his loving family by his side on November 25, 2020. Arnie led a life that was full and truly awesome. He was loved dearly by his beautiful wife of 72 years, June Weinstein (nee Gross), their three chil- dren, Eileen Donohue, Hal Weinstein and John Weinstein as well as their spouses, nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Arnie was an entrepreneur and the consum- mate salesperson having owned his own plumbing sales agency for many years as well as being on the board of directors of many organizations within the plumbing in- dustry including being a founding member of the Philadelphia Manufacturers Representat- ive Association. His sales acumen was un- canny, and he flourished in a time when per- sonal relationships were as important as what we now call metrics. Arnie was an ex- cellent athlete having been named “All Pub- lic” while playing football at Overbrook High School and being on the varsity track and boxing teams. Arnie’s love of sports contin- ued throughout his life as he took up playing tennis winning many championships while living down the “shore” at his beloved home in Loveladies, N.J. He was also an expert ski- er and introduced many of his friends to the sport as well as all of his children. While his love of athletics was truly inspirational, he also had a passion for the theatre where he acted in many roles over the years at Allen’s Lane Art Theatre and Abington Theatre as well as being in a few TV productions. Whether playing Big Julie in Guys and Dolls, Chief Sitting Bull in Annie Get Your gun or Earthquake McGoon in Lil’ Abner he did so with aplomb. With his best friend Irv Bloom they owned the Philadelphia Playhouse and hosted many notable plays and actors. Arnie’s love of sports and theatre was only surpassed by his love of his family, espe- cially his lifetime love, June. He was ex- tremely proud of his family and their accom- plishments and let everyone around his circle of friends know this. Arnie had an amazing memory and used this to muster up his prodigious catalogue of thousands of jokes that he could recite at will. Yes, he had a great sense of humor that continued throughout his life. Arnie outlived many of his best friends and frequently had dreams of them calling him to the slopes to go skiing. Irv, Norm and Bob now have their bestest skiing buddy to join them as they “schuss” down the biggest slopes with a dusting of new powder. We will always love you and miss you Arnie, dad, daddy, poppy, Poppy Arnie!

Time after time, I hear from both Asian American and Jewish American commu- nities a joke that the two groups are so similar; that my parents come from two extremely “learned” communities; that my parents are such a perfect relationship match. A worse joke is how “Jewish guys have a thing for Asian chicks” — straight-up fetishization. When we take the time to unpack the reactions to this match, we arrive at the deeply planted American model minority myth. fail to make the connection of how the history of slavery in this country forever shapes the Black American experience in entirely harsher and more systematic ways. On top of this, both Asian Americans and Jewish Americans often fail to address their anti-Blackness. To begin to rectify this, we must dismiss the notion that the American minority experience is monolithic. By comparing experiences of minorities in the U.S. based on “economic success,” which unfortunately decides the assessment of overall “success” in this country, the premise perpetuates the false notion that if you simply adopt We must stop holding up Asian and Jewish communities as examples of “success” while ignoring the systemic barriers facing other minority communities. When I was applying for colleges, a counselor (who was Jewish) advised that I focus my entrance essay on my Asian and Jewish identities because the two communities “highly value education, and others just don’t.” I was taken aback, but it was only recently that I’ve been able to identify why that remark made me uncomfort- able. The implication behind my college counselor’s state- ment is rooted in the model minority myth: that Asians and Jews are somehow smarter or more “learned,” and that other minority communities (Black, Latinx, etc.) aren’t. Embracing the idea that Jews and Asians achieve higher economic success in the U.S. from a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality is weaponized against other minorities. The obvious difference between the story of the African American community and the Asian American and Jewish American communities is clear: Black people came here enslaved. Jews and most Asian people did not. Yet white people and other minorities consistently JEWISHEXPONENT.COM a strong work ethic, you will “succeed.” It buys into the myth that the “American dream” is a tangible goal that supposedly ignores barriers formed by race, gender, faith and other identi- ties. We must stop holding up Asian and Jewish communi- ties as examples of “success” while ignoring the systemic barriers facing other minority communities. The intersection of my identities doesn’t create the ideal student/worker/contrib- utor to a capitalist system. My parents don’t love each other because they’re supposedly smarter or supposedly harder workers. They don’t love each other because they’re learned individuals who relate to one another on some shared value placed on education. They love each other because they make each other laugh. l Hanah Bloom is an honors first year student majoring in political science and philosophy at Miami University of Ohio.

Photo by Michelle Camperson Photography COMMUNITYBRIEFS Penn Hillel Rabbi to Depart for New Job RABBI MIKE URAM, the executive director of Penn Hillel, announced via email on Dec. 3 that he was leaving after 16½ years to head a project to build Pardes North America, an institute of Jewish studies. “It is truly bittersweet because I still am so excited about Penn Hillel, about students and about the larger Penn family, but it feels like this is the right time. Penn Hillel, organizationally, is in a great place,” he wrote. “We have finished building an endowment, built a solid financial grounding for the organization and its facility, and have transformed a centralized regional Hillel structure into a collaborative network of independent Hillels that are all thriving.” Uram won a National Jewish Book Award in 2016 for “Next Generation Judaism: How College Students and Hillel Can Help Reinvent Jewish Organizations.” He was also honored in 2017 with Hillel International’s Edgar M. Bronfman Award, established in 2014 to reward a “Hillel professional who has served the movement with distinction and honor.” Rabbi Gabe Greenberg will serve as interim director starting Jan. 1. He also will head the search process for a new executive director Builder Irwin Robbins Dies at 91 Irwin Robbins, who built more than 5,000 homes and apartments in the Philadelphia area, died Nov. 30 in Jupiter, Florida. He was 91. After graduating from Temple University with a degree in business administration, Robbins was working as a traveling salesman for his family’s burlap bag business when he decided to make a switch into home building, son Chris Robbins said. Although Irwin Robbins lost money on the first job, he found a strategy that worked — building houses on lots owned by his customers. With partner Edward Meyers, Robbins began building more than 100 homes per year. By the late 1960s, they were planning their own communities. Ultimately, Robbins built more than 5,000 homes, his son said. Aside from construction, Robbins started PFA Technologies in the early 1990s, which licensed analog videoconferencing technology and engineered early video calling for corporate computer network, JEWISHEXPONENT.COM and co-founded Asian importing company At Home International. In addition, Robbins supported Jewish causes, including the JAFCO Jewish Children’s Village. He also assisted the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1980s with the renovation of a swimming pool in a captured Syrian military base in the Golan Heights. Robbin, who was an Army veteran, is survived by his wife of 48 years, Beth Susan Robbins; his children, Andy, Nancy, Lisa, Chris and Jenn; nine grandchil- dren; and one great-grandchild. raise their own.
