nasta. A case manager at Jewish Family &

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.

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! Contributions in his memory may be
made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research

O pinion
Bloom Continued from Page 16
call my own. 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

“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
