Abouhatab described Jews as “the vilest” people, and said that powerful Jewish media figures have conspired to portray Muslims as “oppressive and pred- atory lions” in the mainstream Western media, among other comments. “The Jews are the vilest people in terms of their moral values, their nature and their violation of agreements, but when they lived near Arabs, they adopted some of their moral values and customs,” Abouhatab said.

But the union voted against attending the meeting after the board would not give assur- ances as to how many board members would be present, Ziskind said. The union wanted at least two-thirds of the board members to attend. Gordon declined to comment afterward about the meeting. In an email in January, Gordon explained the board’s action by saying the decision “best positions the school to continue our unique mission of incorporating deeply-rooted Jewish values in a rigorous intellectual environment.” He has not offered further explica- tion of the decision since then. “Essentially, what we’re con- cerned about is how this will impact the kind of education we’re able to offer,” Ziskind said. “Will we have to teach more classes and therefore not be able to give the same level of attention to students? Will our compensation packages change in terms of retirement or in terms of medical care?” Teachers and some stu- dents have begun to wear red on Fridays to express their See Barrack, Page 9 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines Festival Spotlights Israeli Minority Films F IL M SELAH MAYA ZIGHELBOIM | JE STAFF THE 23RD ANNUAL Israeli Film Festival of Philadelphia has more films highlighting minority and women’s issues than ever before. The festival, which runs from March 16 to April 7, includes films that tell sto- ries about diverse communi- ties like Bedouins and Druze, delve into the intersection of women’s issues and Orthodoxy and cover the discrimina- tion Sephardic Jews have his- torically faced from Israel’s Ashkenazi establishment. “The artistic community never shies away from contro- versy,” said Mindy Chriqui, the festival’s co-founder and artis- tic director. “In fact, I some- times think they really look hard for it. [Diversity is] really an ongoing theme when we look back at movies through- out the years, but yes, this year, it’s particularly strong.” The festival’s selection com- mittee didn’t set out to pick films that emphasized diver- sity, festival chairperson Nurit Yaron said. Their goal was just to select the best films coming out of Israel right now. Because the festival takes place at dif- ferent locations throughout the area — this year, there are six venues — the committee takes the audiences of those venues into consideration when select- ing the films. The committee doesn’t have a specific number of films to select, Yaron said, ensuring that all films are high quality and not just included to fill a slot. It was only after the selec- tions that the festival’s staff noticed the diversity theme. “We don’t look at the sub- ject and say, ‘This year is going to be about x, y and z,” said Yaron, who lives in Israel. “First, we don’t have unlimited films, and second, this is not the way we work.

But the evening was not for weighty societal issues, as Reiss dished out several interesting nuggets about the show. L O CAL ANDY GOTLIEB | JE MANAGING EDITOR WHEN YOU THINK of TV shows with Jewish themes, a few immediately come to mind. Seinfeld. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Curb Your Enthusiasm. Broad City. The Goldbergs. Rhoda. The Nanny. The short- lived Brooklyn Bridge. If you want to stretch it a bit, add shows like thirtysome- thing, Rugrats, Will & Grace and Welcome Back, Kotter, to name a few. How about The Simpsons? Most definitely, according to Mike Reiss, the longest- serving writer and showrun- ner for the animated mainstay, who spoke March 10 at the Katz JCC in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, to tout his forthcoming book Springfield Confidential. Reiss noted that half the show’s writers are Jewish as are three of the main voice actors — Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson), Hank Azaria (Moe Szyslak, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Duffman) and Harry Shearer (Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner). “The place is sort of like a kibbutz, only more Jewish,” he said, throwing out one-liners that would have made Henny Youngman proud. Reiss showed clips of a few Jewish moments in the show, including the backstory of Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky, better known as Krusty the Clown, the son of Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky. The rabbi was voiced by Jackie Mason; Reiss described him as one of his favorites among the 800 or so guest stars the show has featured. There also are several recur- ring characters in the show who are portrayed as Jewish, includ- ing Duffman, Superintendent Chalmers, Dolph Starbeam and a nursing home resident simply known as Old Jewish Man.

Still, he joked, his father wanted him to only date Jewish girls. Although he’s not reli- gious, Reiss enjoys his heritage. “I do like the Jewish culture, and I do like being Jewish the way the Irish like being Irish,” he said. His story ideas come from everywhere, he said, indicating that some of his childhood mem- ories made it into early episodes. “I write comedy because I can’t help myself,” he said. “What would I do if I couldn’t write comedy? I’d write for Jimmy Fallon. Fallon spelled backward is ‘no laugh.’” Both in an interview before his speech and during his hour- long presentation, Reiss tossed out numerous tidbits about the show — including an item that recently made news. A third-season episode Reiss wrote called “Stark Raving Dad” was pulled from syndication last week because it features a character voiced by the late Michael Jackson. The singer was accused of sexual abuse by two men in a new HBO documentary. “It breaks my heart — just the other day, I got a check for $13 for that episode,” he joked, then noted that pulling the episode was the right thing to do. He also said he was most proud of that episode prior to the recent hubbub. us five,” he said. • Every living ex-president has turned down the opportu- nity to appear on the show. • Reiss’ favorite character is Homer. “Homer is a com- edy writer’s dream,” he said. “Homer embodies all the deadly sins.” • “Sooner or later” another movie will be made. • The Simpsons Movie script was rewritten 166 times. A typical episode of the show goes through five rewrites. • Reiss explained the origins of Marge’s big blue beehive hairdo. Simpsons creator Matt Groening originally thought the show would be short-lived and survived by his original comic strip Life in Hell, which featured long-eared rabbits. When The Simpsons went off the air, it would be revealed the hair was covering her big rabbit ears. Groening stopped drawing Life in Hell in 2012. • Venezuela canceled the show, saying it promoted bad U.S. values — and replaced it with Baywatch. l • Michael Jackson had approached the show about appearing and even wrote some of his own jokes. His acting, however, was terri- ble, and the singing heard on the show was done by an authorized sound- alike named Kipp Lennon (youngest brother of the Lennon Sisters singing group). • Most guest characters appear on the show because their children encourage them to do so. In the case of the Rolling Stones, the grandchildren were the impetus. • Of the guest characters, Oprah Winfrey caused the most headaches. “It only takes 10 minutes to do The agotlieb@jewishexponent.com; Simpsons, and she only gave 215-832-0797 NAME: BARB-LIN CARPET ONE; WIDTH: 5.5 IN; DEPTH: 3.62 IN; COLOR: BLACK PLUS ONE; AD NUMBER: 00083591 JEWISH EXPONENT MARCH 14, 2019 7 H eadlines Academic, Lawyer Phyllis Lachs Dies at 88 O B I TUA RY SELAH MAYA ZIGHELBOIM | JE STAFF PHYLLIS LACHS, who died March 1 at 88, was a woman ahead of her time. She spent most of her career on the faculty at Bryn Mawr College, where she received a master’s and Ph.D. in history and then became the college’s first general counsel after grad- uating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. She clerked for a Pennsylvania Superior Court judge and did a postdoctoral program at Yale Law School. “Phyllis epitomized work-life balance and having it all, phrases that have now become common- place in our culture,” daughter Susanna Lachs Adler, board chair of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, said in a eulogy. “She was a pioneer who made it look effortless, when as we know, it was anything but effortless.” Lachs was born in 1930, the oldest child of a native Philadelphian and a Russian immigrant.

She was a supporter of the American Associates, Ben- Gurion University of the Negev and the Israel Guide Dog Center. Tradition was important to her, and she hosted many Shabbat dinners and seders. Lachs’ decision, in 1959, to work while she still had four children at home, was not an easy one, as she recalled when her granddaughter, Sara Adler, interviewed her for a college paper. She faced discrimina- tion from employers and col- leagues, and other mothers in the neighborhood made disap- proving comments. That decision may have been informed, Lachs Adler supposed, by her experience at Philadelphia High School for Girls and Wellesley College, as well as the fact that both her own mother and grandmother worked. In Sara Adler’s paper, Lachs said she was inspired by iconic feminist Gloria Steinem, who, when asked if well- qualified women entering the workforce would make it harder for average men to get Photo courtesy of Susanna Lachs Adler jobs, replied, “I hope so.” Her daughter, inspired by her mother’s example, also became a lawyer. “She was the first attorney in Pennsylvania to have her bar admission to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania moved by her daughter,” Lachs Adler said. Lachs brought her pioneer- ing spirit to other parts of her life, starting a needlepoint busi- ness called The Blue Thread. “She was very kind,” Lachs Adler said. “She had dignity, treating other people with kindness and with dignity, giv- ing tzedakah and making sure we felt that it was part of who we were to give back.” Lachs is survived by her children, Susanna Lachs Adler and husband Dean, Michael E.

Th e situation with Barrack’s union isn’t unique. Across the country, the number of Jewish day schools with unions has dropped. Perelman Jewish Day School, located just a few miles from Barrack, withdrew recog- nition of its own union in 2014.

Gary Kaplan, a parent of an alumnus and the spouse of a teacher, said that his daughter got a lot of one-on-one time with Barrack’s teachers. He is concerned that teachers might not be able to keep doing that if they have to teach more classes as a result of this decision. “I went to a big high school, and I never had any one-on-one,” Kaplan said. “It’s a great thing. Education comes fi rst. I really do love that part of Barrack, and I think that will change.” Ziskind also wondered how the decision would aff ect the school’s contributions to teach- er’s retirement funds.

But that was the case March 4 in Los Angeles when two swastikas drawn in blood were found in a public park, KCBS-TV reported. A police officer said the blood likely came from a self-inflicted injury, a criminal act or from an acci- dent. Bloodhounds lost the scent after following a blood trail for several blocks. Police don’t think the swastikas are tied to the nearby Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, which isn’t far from the park. “Acts of hate and anti-Semitism are deeply pain- ful and have no place in the city of Los Angeles,” City Councilman David Ryu said in a statement, JTA reported. American Support of Israel Over Palestinians Declines Sharply Although 59 percent of American sympathize more with Israel than Palestinians, the number has slipped from 64 percent a year ago, according to a new Gallup Poll, JTA reported. That’s the lowest level of support since 2009. The support for Palestinians remains unchanged at 21 percent. Support for Israel declined among both Republicans and Democrats. Democratic support of Israel declined from 49 percent a year ago to 43 per- cent, while Republican support fell from 87 percent to 76 percent. Meantime, Israel itself is viewed favorably by 69 percent of U.S. adults, a decrease from 74 percent in 2018, although within the 66-72 percent range from 2010-17. Texas Blacklists Airbnb for Removing West Bank Jewish Settlement Listings Texas placed Airbnb on its “List of Companies that Boycott Israel” because the company took down listings of rentals in West Bank Jewish settlements, JTA reported. Under a Texas law passed in 2017 that prevents government contractors from boycotting Israel, Airbnb has 90 days to demonstrate that it doesn’t boy- cott Israel. If it fails to do so, Texas “shall sell, redeem, divest, or withdraw all publicly traded securities of the company, except securities.” Airbnb said in December that it was removing about listings in the settlements, but not in the Palestinian communities. The company has denied any bias against Israelis. “We unequivocally reject and oppose the BDS movement and are disappointed by the [Texas] deci- sion,” the company told Israeli media outlets. JTA said a quick check of the company’s website on March 3 showed that listings do appear for West Bank Jewish settlements. Greek Escape Room Drops Schindler’s List Name After Receiving Complaints An escape room called Schindler’s List in Thessa- loniki, Greece, has changed its name to Secret Agent after complaints from the local Jewish community, JTA reported. The game called for participants to create a list of survivors who will be spared a horrible death by enemy forces. “Your mission is to find Schindler’s list and deliver it to the right hands,” according to the game’s former description. “Will you manage to escape from the German army and save the lives of hundreds of inno- cent people?” There was no direct mention of Jews or the Holocaust, but the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece criticized the game’s name. l NAME: DIGNITY MEMORIAL; WIDTH: 9.25 IN; DEPTH: 5.5 IN; COLOR: BLACK PLUS ONE; AD NUMBER: 00083755 ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL PARK WE HONOR INTERFAITH MARRIAGES Do Have You Have a for Plan for the Future?

For example, only 51.5 percent of Jewish women 25 to 29 in 2017 were married, compared to 55.1 percent in 2006. For Arab women of the same age, the 2017 numbers dropped to 74.4 percent married versus 79.6 percent in 2006 Meantime, 9.5 percent of Jewish woman 45 to 49 identified as single, an increase from 5.9 percent the decade before. For Arab women of the same age, 11.9 percent were single, compared to 10.5 percent in the past. And the average woman first gave birth at 27.6 years old in 2017, compared to 26.8 percent in 2006. Report: Israelis Waste Nearly $900 in Food Annually The average Israeli family throws out about $890 worth of food annually, which is about six weeks of a household’s food con- sumption expenditure. That’s according to the Fourth Annual Food Waste and Rescue Report issued March 5 by Leket Israel in partnership with BDO. The report said 2.5 million tons of food with a market value of $5.5 billion — 35 percent of all food produced — was discarded in Israel in 2018. Fruits and vegetables comprised a majority of the waste. Nearly half the food lost (1.2 million tons) could have been rescued, according to the report. Still, the 23 percent wasted by Israeli households is less than the 28 percent wasted in the United States. In Europe, the waste was even less at 19 percent. The report said the food loss impacted increased overall food prices by 11 percent. Israel Home to 21 Billionaires There are 2,153 billionaires in the world and 21 of them are Israelis — up three from a year ago — according to the 2019 Forbes World Billionaires list, JNS.org reported. And those 21 don’t include Israel’s richest person. That would be Roman Abramovich, owner of Chelsea Football Club, who is ranked 107th overall with $12.4 billion. Forbes listed him as Russian because he received his Israeli citizenship just 10 months ago. Other Israeli billionaires include real estate, shipping and cruise-line magnate Eyal Ofer with $9.4 billion, industrialist and investor Stef Wertheimer at $5.7 billion and investor and philanthropist Shari Arison, who is Israel’s wealthiest woman, with $5 billion. Israeli Spacecraft Takes a Selfie Beresheet, the Israeli spacecraft headed for the moon, on March 5 took a “selfie” 23,364 miles from Earth, according to SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), which are teaming on the mission. The photo of Earth clearly shows Australia, as well as a plaque installed on the spacecraft that includes the Israeli flag and the words “Am Yisrael Chai” and “Small Country, Big Dreams.” The spacecraft appears to be on track to land on the moon as expected on April 11. On March 7, Beresheet conducted a maneuver as it headed to an elliptical orbit 167,770 miles from Earth. During the maneuver, its main engine was fired for 2½ minutes. In two weeks, another maneuver is planned. l JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Hours: NEXT DAY steinsfamousdeli.com Online 10.9899 IN; MON-FRI NAME: FAMOUS DELI; WIDTH: 5.5 Order IN; DEPTH: COLOR: BLACK; 7:30AM-6:30PM WEEKEND DELIVERIES SAT 7AM-6:30PM 215-673-6000 Call For Details AD NUMBER: - SUN 7AM-6PM SPECIALS Wednesday, March 13 - Tuesday March 19 Look for our specials on our website & by email OUR OWN HOMEMADE CHICKEN SALAD EXTRA SPECIAL 5 $ 7 99 $ 6 99 $ 5 99 $ 3 99 DELICIOUS EATING $ 99 SEAFOOD SALAD LB BY THE LB.

Though Harper is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has talked publicly about serving as a representative for the Mormon faith, sus- picions of Jewish heritage were raised early on in his life by a Jewish girl Harper met at a party in high school. The girl, Britney Greenbaum, was living in Harper’s native Las Vegas temporarily while her mother was a visiting professor at the University of Las Vegas. Greenbaum saw Bryce across the room at their first high school party and thought he was cute. “So I walked over and started talking to him and it was like an instant connec- tion, even though we were from different worlds,” said Greenbaum. “Maybe it was the forbidden aspect that drew us together, but we talked about homework and sports — he talked more about hockey than base- ball! — and our parents. And he told me his middle names were Aron and Max and I started wondering. I mean, there is some- thing of the Bar Mitzvah boy about him.” Harper and Greenbaum grew apart after a brief makeout session in a bedroom closet, but later, when Harper was named MVP in 2015, Greenbaum reached out and reconnected with Harper, urging him to take a DNA test to confirm her suspicions. Harper’s 23andWe results stunned him: 37 percent of his background came back as “Super Rabbinic Russian.” His parents knew nothing about the Jewish heritage, but everyone in the family is quite comfortable with the news. “Mormons and Jews have a lot in com- mon,” said Harper, who is considering having his Bar Mitzvah on the mound at Citizens Bank Park. He pointed to the Mormon prohibition against alcohol. “In my experience,” he added, “lots of Jewish people are pretty indifferent to booze. Though Britney Greenbaum did get pretty toasted at that party.” For Passover this year, Harper will attend a baseball-themed seder that posi- tions the four questions at four bases held at the home of Phillies Manager Gabe Kapler. Kapler is also Jewish, and maybe secretly Mormon, too. l Congregation Beth Stoner Opens for Weed Fans FAKE N EWS FA K E N E WS JUDY IZM | JE STAFF JONATHAN KUGELSTEIN opened up a box of Manischewitz’s finest matzah on March 11 and imagine the surprise he received: The face of Moses was staring back at him on the matzah sheet. “At first I thought it was just a trick of the light, but those little dark spots were telling me something,” said Kugelstein, of Merion. “Then my girlfriend Taylor, who was also in the kitchen, dropped her glass of Tang and shouted, ‘OMG, it’s Charlton Heston.’” Not knowing what to do next, Kugelstein called the Good Day Philadelphia team at Fox29, which immediately set up a live broadcast that aired for the next 24 hours, pre-empting the usual mind-numbing content that’s the channel’s specialty.

O’BALL | JE STAFF LOCAL BUSINESSMAN Eric Goldman apparently eats pick- led herring straight from the jar, according to his wife and daugh- ter. “Just, like, with the tips of his fingers,” said his daughter Sarah Goldman, 16. “He … dangles it over his mouth.” Goldman’s behavior, though not technically wrong or legally actionable, is “unsettling,” his daughter said. Each evening, said Beth Goldman, Eric’s wife of 18 years, Goldman rises from the couch, walks over the fridge and selects the jar out of the wide array of foods that are FA K E N E WS STEPHEN GLASS | JE STAFF not pickled fish. He taps on the jar, as if to say, ‘Yes, this is precisely what I needed to sati- ate myself,’ and then picks the herring out of the jar. “He does this on purpose,” his wife stressed. “No one is making him do this.” He then proceeds to throw back a bit of the vin- egary mush, making satisfied grunts as he finishes chewing. Goldman, for his part, offers the herring to any and all mem- bers of his family or close circle of friends when they happen to be in the vicinity. “I don’t really see what the big deal is,” he said, wiping a bit of the pickle juice off the cor- ner of his mouth. “You did this story last month on the way I eat beets straight out of the can. What’s the issue here?” l FOP Defends Officer Whose Mother “Decluttered” Evidence Room FAKE N EWS ELIOT NESS | JE STAFF FRATERNAL ORDER of Police spokesman John McNesby is fighting back on behalf of a Jewish police officer who’s been reprimanded by his superiors. Officer Lev Mandelbaum, who’s been on the force for two years, has been indefinitely sus- pended with pay as the depart- ment tries to figure out how to punish Mandelbaum for letting his mother, Linda Mandelbaum, into an evidence storage room without supervision. Apparently, it all started when Linda Mandelbaum got irritated that her son had lost a Chanukah card his younger sister made for him when they were children. “That was a precious keep- sake!” she said to him. “Where did it go?” JEWISHEXPONENT.COM “I took it to work with me and was going to hang it up near my desk but it must have gotten lost in the papers and stuff. The station house is a mess, Mom.” That was all Linda — who runs the organizing business Living Lighter With Linda — needed to hear. Using the pre- text of bringing Lev a surprise lunch one day, Linda disap- peared “to the ladies room,” she said, and didn’t return for five hours. Her son, who was abruptly called out on police business, forgot she was there. But when the officers went to look for something in the evidence room the next day, they found everything had been entirely rearranged and smelled strongly of Febreeze. Their cardboard boxes had been replaced by multicolored plastic bins, each with distinctly colored and patterned contact paper on the exterior. A small vase with a fresh spray of flow- ers sat on a small circular table that was wedged inside the door and overhead fluorescents had been pulled out and smashed and replaced by two floor lamps. It was unclear where she’d so quickly procured the transfor- mative items. Though no evidence was thrown out, the organiza- tional system in the room was destroyed, replaced by col- or-coordination. The young officer was embarrassed and apologetic, but was suspended anyway, which McNesby felt was unfair. “Do you realize how much razzing this guy is going to get about his Jewish mother for the rest of his life on the force?” McNesby said to a reporter. “Man, that’s punishment enough.” l JEWISH EXPONENT AFTER 16 YEARS of being beholden to the schedule of his parents, Matthew Shapiro, newly licensed driver, is now free to unshackle himself from the irons of childhood, to throw off the yoke of adoles- cence, to seize the open road as so many teens before him have done and to procure fast food for himself slightly faster than he could before. “It’s amazing,” Shapiro said. Shapiro, who lives within biking distance — if not walk- ing, on a nice day — of a Wawa, a Wendy’s, a Chipotle and a McDonald’s, took driv- ing lessons for months in order to speed up the journey of a Shorti hoagie from an employee to his mouth by about four min- utes. Dozens of precious photos of Shapiro driving around an empty parking lot for the first time were taken in the service of Shapiro’s desire to get a Big Mac, hold the tomato, slightly faster. “At first we were worried,” said his mother, Lori Shapiro. “How was he going to use this newfound responsibility? Would he take around too many friends, and get dis- tracted? Would he play music loudly and take his focus off the road? Would he be gone every weekend? “Luckily, none of that has come to pass,” she added, happily. l Christmastime Chinese Pop-Up Restaurant Opens FA K E N E WS IMA FOODIE | JE STAFF SHANGHAI DYNASTY is opening a Christmastime pop-up restaurant in a Jewish community center parking lot to better engage its customers, a spokesperson for the restau- rant said last week. Shanghai Dynasty’s Chinatown location is already open on Dec. 25, but this pop-up restaurant will bring favorites like sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli and chow mein to a more convenient location. The pop-up will be in the parking lot and not the build- ing itself because the JCC is closed on Christmas, JCC CEO Rachel Berger said, noting the JCC’s many non-Jewish staff, as well as the staff who cele- brate the holiday with inter- faith families. Multiple financial planners who stopped by the pop-up restau- rant on their way to the gym — before they realized it was closed for Christmas — assessed that the pop-up would be a success.

This in no way rep- resents our beliefs or policies. We condemn this action and will make sure that this never hap- pens again. We expect that all guest speakers will respect and uphold our policy that hatred against any group of people or religion will not be tolerated.” Abouhatab’s sermons were streamed live on the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society’s YouTube channel. In one video, he tells assembled worshippers, “Remember how Menachem Begin, that Polish crook, would stand next to a preg- nant woman, and would make bets whether it is a boy or a girl.

This happened. This happened.” He also said that the qualities of nobility, morals and dignity had been conferred upon Muslims exclusively, then studiously cop- ied by Jews. Abouhatab made reference numerous times to the “Jewish media” as “nefarious” or some variation thereof. The mosque has worked as a community leader in inter- faith dialogue with a number of local organizations, includ- ing the ADL and the City of Philadelphia. They have par- ticipated in solidarity events such as the 2017 “Stand Against Hate” rally orga- nized by Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and have also, since 2003, orga- nized an annual Peacewalk, which welcomes a variety of religious groups. On March 11, the ADL released a statement condemning Abouhatab’s remarks as “viru- lently anti-Jewish hate” that “pro- moted age-old falsehoods about Jewish control of the media, finance and government.” The statement thanked the Islamic Society for its “quick response” to the release of the videos. “We look forward to learning more from our friends at Al-Aqsa about how these troubling events occurred, and we will continue to work closely with Al-Aqsa’s lead- ership to ensure that something like this never happens again,” the statement read. As for how Abouhatab came to be invited to speak on multiple occasions, Nancy Baron-Baer, exec- utive director of the Philadelphia ADL said, “We’re having discus- sions on that going forward. We’ve certainly made them aware of the fact that it was not a one-time speaking engagement.” In a statement, Abouhatab denied that anything he said was anti-Semitic, though The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the MEMRI’s translations were accurate. “I am not against any religion and what was attributed to me is completely false. I do not pro- mote hate, nor do I insight [sic] violence.

Absolutely not! The syna- gogue is the sanctuary we come to in order to connect with our better selves. The climax of our daily supplications is called the Amidah. According to the Talmud (Brachos 10b), we pray the Amidah prayer with our feet together. This is based on Ezekiel’s opening prophecy. He shares with us a vision of the heavenly courts, describing the feet of the angels as “their feet were a straight foot” (Ezekiel Ch. 1, V. 8). By emulating the angels, we are elevating the spiritual parts of our beings. The synagogue is the place where humans act as celestial beings. Yet this ghastly individual used this sanctuary as his personal restroom. The police were called, and the security camera footage was sent to the media. That’s when the despicable history of the vandal was exposed. Sheidali Dzhalilov, the per- petrator of this repulsive act, had written on his Facebook page some extremely hateful and anti-Semitic statements.

Yes, the judge sentenced the defendant to some jail time. Two months to be exact. Truthfully, though, that doesn’t solve the issue. Not due to its briefness — I actu- ally thought it was fair — but because punishing the perpe- trator won’t restore dignity to our house of G-d.

As a grandchild of Holocaust survivors, it is difficult to express the hurt I felt when I read the appalling Facebook post for the first time. I felt a gnawing pain as I contemplated someone finishing what Hitler couldn’t. Unfortunately, anti-Semitic posts are not uncommon, but for those words to be translated into action at our very steps is a terrifying thought. On the night Dzhalilov There is a phrase that became very popular after the Holocaust. The phrase was “never again.” Apparently “never” is not quite as long as we thought. The Jewish people are resil- ient. Three-thousand years of Jewish history has been 3,000 years fraught with persecution and expulsion. Unfortunately, we lost millions along the way but somehow we overcame. The Holocaust began with a night called Kristallnacht or “The Night of Broken Glass,” when synagogues were desecrated and vandal- lesson won’t reverse the reality that our synagogue was used as someone’s toilet. The only way to restore the dignity that befits our syna- gogues is by taking the ini- tiative. I am not referring to marches on Washington nor am I advocating picking up signs and taking to the street. I am asserting that change starts from within. I am stating that we must start respecting our synagogues in the way they deserve to be respected. The sad truth is that many synagogues are almost vacant on most weeks. High Holiday attendance is diminishing by the year. According to the Pew Research Centers Religious Landscape Study, in 2007, 39 percent of Jews attended syn- agogue weekly and 27 percent seldom or never attended. In 2014, 36 percent attended syn- agogue weekly and 30 percent seldom to never attended. It’s time to take a stand. Are you someone who never joined a synagogue? Start going once a year on Yom Kippur. Do you come every Shabbat but step out when the rabbi starts his speech? Stick around; maybe you’ll learn something. Of course, we need to send Dzhalilov and all anti-Semites a loud and clear message. In no way do I mean to blame the Jewish people for anti-Semi- tism, but how can we expect others to respect our places of worship when we barely even show up? No one is going to listen unless we have a seri- ous heart-to-heart discussion within our own communities.

No matter what kind of Jew you are, a pri- ority is undoubtedly respect for yourself and for others — even those holding different points of view. And there’s a symbol of kavod in the U.S. Senate that’s not well known but long- held: a single sheet of light blue paper called the “blue slip.” For more than 100 years, the Senate Judiciary Committee has extended the courtesy of the blue slip. As tradition has it, returning a negative evalu- 16 MARCH 14, 2019 ation (printed on blue paper) or withholding the form alto- gether allows a senator to seri- ously slow or halt a nomination to the district or circuit courts of appeal of his or her own state.

Never have we needed the respectful civility of the Senate more, especially its responsi- bility for checks and balances on the executive and judi- cial branches of government. Last year, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley let slip the tradition of the blue slip. Taking over the chairman- ship this year, Lindsay Graham has also given a pass to nomi- nees despite home-state sena- tors finding them unqualified, inexperienced or unfit. The first circuit court judge to be confirmed in more than 80 years without blue slip approval was David Stras for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit in January 2018. On Feb. 26 of this year, for the first time in 100 years, a nominee without blue slip JEWISH EXPONENT approval of either home state senator was confirmed to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Washington senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell were alarmed that Eric D. Miller had repeatedly chal- lenged tribal sovereignty, lands and religious freedom. Murray also objected to the vetting process, or lack thereof: “Not only did Republicans schedule this nominee’s confir- mation hearing during a recess period when just two senators — both Republicans — were able to attend, but the hearing included less than five min- utes of questioning,” she stated, adding, “less questioning for a lifetime appointment than most students face for a book report in school.” Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown did not return blue slips for Eric Murphy and Chad Readler, writing, “I cannot support nominees who have actively worked to strip Ohioans of their rights.

BY DAVID RUBIN EVERYONE KNOWS about Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, Israel’s invincible leader, soon to be the longest-serving prime minister in history — except, apparently, Benny Gantz didn’t get that memo. Benny is ahead of Netan- yahu in the latest polls. How can this be? Bibi is a powerful international spokesman, a skilled diplomat and an expert economist. If Americans were allowed to vote, Netanyahu would likely win in a landslide. But in the upcoming April 9 elections, the only votes that count are from Israeli citizens. Israelis see a flipside to the leg- endary Netanyahu, who some view as indecisive in battle, not resolute enough in meet- ing the challenge of settlement in the strategic, mountainous heartland of Israel — Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank) — and they are concerned with entrusting him with the sovereignty of Jerusalem, Israel’s eternal capi- tal since the days of King David more than 3,000 years ago. Once labeled by an American magazine as “King Bibi” due to his seemingly irre- placeable status, things may be changing for Netanyahu and his Likud party. With the attor- ney general having announced bribery indictments against him, Netanyahu seems to be somewhat in defensive mode as his nation enters an early election once again. So there is a new Benjamin in town, or a new Benny, that is, who seems to be taking Israel by storm. Formerly chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Benny Gantz has entered pol- itics for the first time, form- ing his own Israel Resilience Party and seriously challeng- ing Netanyahu’s predominant JEWISHEXPONENT.COM right-of-center Likud. Pundits projecting Netanyahu’s virtually assured victory may be irrationally exuberant, the thinking being that Gantz’s lead is only “tem- porary.” The fact is that Gantz is now the darling of the media, which has become a formidable foe to Netanyahu in recent weeks. In a country that has always been enamored with generals and always seems to be searching for the latest “messiah” in the form of a new centrist party, Gantz seems to fit the current perceived need. Voters are flocking in droves to the tall and hand- some Gantz, especially from the establishment left-wing Labor party, which seems to be self-destructing more with each passing day. Unlike the United States, Israel is a parliamentary democracy in which the citi- zens vote, not for an individ- ual, but for a party, and the leader of the largest party has the challenge of forming a coa- lition with smaller parties, the goal being to attain a majority of seats in the Knesset, Israel’s parliament. Remarkably, until recently, Gantz didn’t need to say a word on policy to achieve his strong standing in the polls. In fact, from his perspective, it was better not to say anything. But in a tiny country like Israel, where most issues are poten- tially explosive, issues even- tually need to be confronted, and as that happens and people see what Gantz truly stands for, the shift in popularity may swing back to Bibi. In his maiden policy speech, Gantz seemingly inexplicably praised Israel’s now unpopular 2005 unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, in which some 10,000 Israelis were forcibly expelled from their homes in a bitter and painful process that nearly tore the fabric of the country apart. According to Gantz: “It was a legal move that was adopted by the Israeli government and carried out by the IDF and the settlers in a painful but good way. We have to take those lessons and implement them in other places.” The statement is especially disturbing since it is well- known that in every armed conflict, Hamas intentionally hides its armed forces, its weap- ons factories and its missile launchers in civilian population centers, daring Israel to attack. With President Trump’s peace plan still not released, but already being publicly debated, it behooves all Israelis, as well as Americans who care about Israel, to understand that the “land for peace” formula that has been recycled and regurgitated by virtually every American administration in recent years, was proven dead after the Gaza withdrawal, when the Hamas terrorist organization set up its rocket launching pads on the ruins of the once peaceful and thriving Jewish communities. Netanyahu is a some- times flawed yet experienced leader, one who recognizes the existential threat from an Iran seeking to attack Israel from both Lebanon and Syria, while achieving nuclear bomb status. Clearly, Netanyahu has the firmness and resolve that Gantz and his potential partners on the left don’t possess. As Benjamin Netanyahu faces his most difficult chal- lenges, the world should know two things, that Bibi is the bet- ter Benjamin and Benny Gantz is not the Messiah. l David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, is the founder and president of Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund. JEWISH EXPONENT KVETCH ’N KVELL Believing in Torah, Even As a Nonbeliever IN A MARCH 1 letter about “tikkun olamism,” Steve Mendelsohn opines, “But for us Jews who believe that there is no creator of the universe ... the challenge is to figure out what in Judaism is the baby and what is the bathwater. Unfortunately … the closer we look, the more bathwater we see.” I respectfully suggest to Mendelsohn there is much in the Torah to grasp onto, even for nonbelievers. The Ten Commandments was a step into the future for humanity. Whether dictated by God or conceived by humans, it was the first statement in history asserting that all people should be free. It established the sanctity of marriage and motherhood, codified civilized behavior and also created weekends. Consider the astonishing image of the Red Sea parting: Whether it really happened or not, nothing else in literature comes close to it. And the sea didn’t part so Romeo could reach Juliet, or Odysseus could get home; this indelible image was solely for the purpose of freeing slaves. If not God, what do we call such inspiration? Perhaps we Jews have been most fascinated by God because we can never truly know God. But we do know that sometime, between 25 and 3,500 years ago, a small tribe called Israelites decided that idol worship is useless, human life is sacred and people must be free. They envisioned these beliefs as a covenant with God, and whether God really spoke to them, or they just imagined it, as they gazed up at the billions of stars, it made them feel like they were part of it all, special in the universe, comforted and empowered. And we’re Jews today, because our families have been keeping that covenant ever since. We can all believe in that. Rueben Gordon | Encino, California In the Best Interest of Jews?

But then she writes that the Jewish community in Minnesota “has welcomed and provided support for so many refugee groups including the large Somali population.” Now, how does this help Jews? How does the JDCA think that the Somali population is going to vote? For candidates that support Israel, or for more Ilhan Omars?

MARCH 14, 2019 17 O pinion Justice Denied in Argentina BY BEN COHEN THIS JULY, ARGENTINA’S Jewish community will mark the 25th anniversary of the bombing of the AMIA Jewish Center in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were mur- dered and hundreds more were seriously wounded. It is promising to be a wretched and depressing commemoration, frankly, because there is no reason to expect anything else. On July 18, 1994, a Renault utility truck packed with explo- sives smashed into the AMIA building in the busy downtown area of the Argentine capital, leaving a scene of carnage in its wake. The bombing came two years after a nearly identical attack on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, which killed 29 people. A generation later, none of the AMIA suspects, the sub- jects of Interpol “Red Notices” since 2007, have been captured. Indeed, the AMIA investi- gation was exposed as a big- ger source of political intrigue and duplicity than even the bombing itself. The first AMIA investigation, set up under for- mer Argentine President Carlos Menem, collapsed after it was exposed as a den of corruption. The second investigation, set up under former President Nestor Kirchner in 2004, became the domain of fear- less federal prosecutor Alberto Nisman. Nisman’s diligent work resulted in Interpol releasing those warrants for the senior Iranian and Hezbollah opera- tives responsible. But Nisman was discovered murdered in his apartment hours before he was due to unveil a complaint against then-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (the spouse of the now-deceased Nestor) that detailed her gov- ernment’s collusion in exoner- ating the Iranian mullahs. Cristina Kirchner, ousted from office by current President Mauricio Macri in 2015, is widely suspected of involve- ment in Nisman’s death. Now that Kirchner has been elected to Argentina’s Senate, she can claim immunity from prosecution. Of the six suspects, the five Iranian officials among them remain at large, while the one Lebanese — Hezbollah’s sec- ond-in-command, Imad Mughniyeh — was killed by a car bomb in Damascus in 2008. Meanwhile, the other senior Iranian officials implicated in the AMIA bombing have never been subjected to even a tap on the shoulder. One of them, former Iranian President Ali Hashemi Rafsanjani, died two years ago. Another, the former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati, still enjoys extensive influence as a senior adviser to the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Last month, in the first sig- nificant AMIA-related event of this 25th anniversary year, a court in Buenos Aires acquit- ted Menem of engaging in a cover-up during the first AMIA investigation. Prosecutors had been push- Respect ing for Menem to serve at least four years. Accused of endorsing bribes to officials that pushed the AMIA investigation’s attention away from the Iranians and onto domestic “suspects,” Menem was also named by a former senior Iranian intelligence operative as a “paid asset” of the Iranian regime during his term in office. But none of this was seriously examined in court. Some of the conspirators beneath Menem did receive prison sentences for their roles in corrupting the first inves- tigation. But the exoneration of Menem brought a furious response from Memoria Activa, an Argentine-based advocacy group. “His government knew that the attack was going to happen; not only did they not prevent it, they ordered the manipulation of the investiga- tion so that the truth would not come out.” When Jewish leaders and for- eign dignitaries fly into Buenos Aires in July, they should call the AMIA debacle what it is: a travesty of justice and an insult to victims of terrorism everywhere. There is much to mourn — most of all those who died in the bombing, along with Alberto Nisman. There is noth- ing — nothing at all — to be proud of. l Continued from Page 16 Last week, the votes proceeded nonetheless, as usual along party lines, confirming both men to serve on the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Stras is 44. Miller is 43. Murphy is 40. Readler is 46. Frequently, dissenting senators have based their disapprovals on nominees’ inexperience as well as ideology. But these fortysomethings raise another concern: Since all federal judges are appointed for life- time positions, they could be on the bench for 40 years or more, making decisions that affect not only our lives, but those of our children and grandchildren. mainstream America.

The title comes from Kahn’s 1978 hit “Hot Shot,” performed by Karen Young, which sat at the top of the disco charts for two weeks. Thankfully, the title is a lit- tle misleading; there’s far more in this book than an account of two weeks during which a sin- gle record sold more than other records in one genre. Kahn, a South Philadelphia native, co-founded the Queen Village Recording Studios, a Philadelphia institution that hosted everyone from Stevie Wonder to Grace Kelly. An alternate perspective of Kahn’s career is provided by his primary musical partner, Bruce Klauber, interspersed through- out Kahn’s recollections of his unconventional parents and 25-year break from music, among other tales. There’s also Kahn’s other Bruce, Bruce Cahan, his long-time partner and husband since 2015. Along the way, Kahn can’t help but run into everyone from Charles Mingus to Norman Mailer, partying with Shirley MacLaine and Jacob Javits. He rubs elbows with a laundry list of jazz musicians from Philadelphia and beyond after he starts Queen Village with his brother, and gets written up everywhere from The Philadelphia Inquirer to now-de- funct local Jewish papers like The Main Line Jewish Expression and the Philadelphia Jewish Times. Oddly enough, Kahn is at his strongest when he writes about other people. Thinking through his inter- actions with his mother, his uncle, his father and Karen Young, for example, the por- traits he draws of them give you a much clearer idea of who Kahn himself is as well. The section about his Uncle Lloyd, who Kahn believes would have been diagnosed NAME: BRISTOL RIVERSIDE THEATRE; WIDTH: 3.625 IN; DEPTH: 3.62 IN; COLOR: BLACK; AD NUMBER: 00083603 20 MARCH 14, 2019 with a mental illness today, and his obsession with the jazz records that would be the early soundtrack to Kahn’s life, are an interesting contrast with Kahn’s own singular focus on music. Additionally, both he and Klauber’s fascination with Karen Young all these years later attest to what a fascinat- ing character she was in her own right, and the way Kahn writes about her, displaying his affection, awe and worry, often at the same time, is a highlight of his memoir. It is these portions of the book, along with the excite- ment and anything-goes spirit of the first days of the record- ing studio, that make the book successful and outweigh the lesser moments in the book, like a picture of a letter prais- ing Kahn as a “gifted child” in 1962 and a two-page list of ways in which “Hot Shot” was used “without produc- ing any significant income for its creators.” For fans of disco and The Sound of Philadelphia, The Shot Heard ’Round the World should JEWISH EXPONENT be a delight, especially with the added local flavor. And as a self-portrait of a songwriter, performer, businessman and husband, among other roles that Kahn has played, it is both tender and candid. ANDY GOTLIEB | JE MANAGING EDITOR A Review With Malice Toward Malice A Town Called Malice Adam Abramowitz Thomas Dune Books | St. Martin’s Press On an increasingly frequent basis, I find myself watching, lis- tening to or web surfing content that really isn’t aimed at me. As one of the first people in Generation X (born in 1966), I’ve aged out of the coveted Nielsen broadcast demo- graphic of 18-49 and find myself simply tuning out of content clearly aimed at mil- lennials or Generation Z. The same apparently holds true in reading, as I found myself struggling to complete Adam Abramowitz’s A Town Called Malice. The book’s reasonably well-written and was inter- esting enough to keep me engrossed for a while, but ultimately it became a slog. That’s because the book jumps around from topic to topic — kind of like someone who has their face buried in their cell- phone as they watch TV and do a couple other things. In A Town Called Malice, we get mysteries, run-ins with gangs, details about casino chips, assorted dead bodies, a tough-guy rabbi (yes, there are some Jewish elements), some investigations, lots of slang and even more talk. In fact, there’s too much talk entirely. The book isn’t overly long, but it feels like Abramowitz would have done better to incorporate some ele- ments of the spare style used by a writer such as James Ellroy, author of The Black Dahlia and L.A.

So it was a pleasure that Claus Räfle’s documentary The Invisibles looks at the subject from an unexplored viewpoint. A mix of reenactment, sur- vivor interviews and archival footage, The Invisibles tells the true stories of four Jews who hid in plain sight in Berlin in the last days of the war. Their paths intersect here and there, but for the most part, they are unaware of the exis- tence of the others. It is a movie about teenagers forced to act as adults under the direst cir- cumstances, as their parents are deported and they’re left to fashion lives for themselves in the seat of Nazi power. The reenactments are ser- viceable, if unspectacular. Each of the four survivors portrayed — Cioama Schonhaus, Eugen Friede, Ruth Gumpel and Hanni Levy — are made to look like Burberry models in the reenactments and mostly smolder at the camera. It’s also about loss. This may seem obvious, but the manner in which the hits keep com- ing — Euegen Friede can no longer sit on the bus, Cioama Schonhaus loses his parents in the opening scene of the movie, Ruth Gumpel lives on the street — really drive home the emotional cruelty of Nazism, which beggared the soul right along with the body.

He also portrayed Hitler for Michael Moore’s old television show The Awful Truth, in a bit satirizing the Swiss banks’ refusal to release Holocaust victims’ assets to their descen- dants, a hot-button issue in 1999 when the piece aired. For the episode, Rickman went to Zurich, where he walked into banks dressed as Hitler and asked if he could make a with- drawal from accounts he had opened there 50 years before. “This was basically to pro- voke the Swiss, who had done terrible things, not with guns and gas chambers, but with paperwork, and basically embarrass the Swiss for what they had done,” Rickman said. “I’m not a huge fan of Michael Moore in a lot of respects, but he was very nice to me per- sonally, and this was certainly something worth doing.” Rickman also has done a significant amount of work in Yiddish theater.

He fell into Yiddish theater because he already knew the language. He also writes translations of original Yiddish shows. There is a part of him, he said, that wants to make sure the language stays alive for his parents. But he also just enjoys speaking it because of how fun and expressive the language is. “The defining difference between Yiddish theater and non-Yiddish theater is the lan- guage,” Rickman explained. “People ... think it’s a style of acting. It isn’t. Yiddish is a mil- lion different things, always was a million different things. Every possible style of theater was done in a Yiddish, and every possible style of theater was done successfully in Yiddish. “When you do something with Yiddish now, the language is the musical soundtrack to the show. When you see it done well — like, for example, the Yiddish Godot that was done in New York a couple of years ago — it lends a flavor to the material that it wouldn’t other- wise have. It’s like it has some music playing underneath it, and of course, the feeling of authenticity. There’s something about it. It’s like it becomes the set or a costume. It’s what the actors are wrapped in; it’s the air they’re walking around in.” Though he is probably best known for his Yiddish theater, his biggest passion is comedy, he said, so The Sunshine Boys is a great opportunity. “It’s always interesting to do charactery stuff,” Rickman said. “A lot of acting is basically putting yourself in this situa- tion or that situation with vari- ations: What if I were myself but slightly more this kind of person or that kind of per- son? Whereas heavy charac- ter work, where you become somebody completely different — how you look, how you talk, how you walk — that’s more interesting and more fun.” l szighelboim@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM A D V E R T I S E M E N T Explore Pennsylvania’s top senior living communities When it comes to vibrant senior living, Ann’s Choice and Maris Grove remain the most popular communities in the area.

Suddenly, our Torah read- ing is all sacrifices and blood, skin diseases and emissions. For casual modern readers, the contents of this book can feel far from edifying. It can feel irrelevant, confusing and even offensive. What gives? The key to Leviticus, which we begin reading this week, is recognizing that the ancient Israelites were a community that asked and grappled with import- ant questions about how we are supposed to function as a society. What does it mean to create a society where God can truly dwell in our midst? What hap- pens when members of that society misbehave — how does it threaten society at large and what responsibilities do we have, individually and communally, to respond? How do we articulate certain collective ideals and values while still making room for people who don’t conform to them? Who can remain part of our society and when is someone beyond the pale? How much do the intentions Books Continued from Page 20 a Boston bike messenger named Zesty Myers — introduced in Abramowitz’s 2017 debut Bosstown — who has an interest- ing past. His mother was a radical bomb-tossing bank robber who’s been missing for years, while his father, now afflicted with Alzheimer’s, used to run poker games and had a shady role as a “fixer.” Meanwhile, brother Zero runs a moving/storage company. Zesty’s own past is a bit mud- dled, too, as he once refused to testify before a federal grand 26 MARCH 14, 2019 behind our actions matter? These questions, which form the living heart of Leviticus, are ones for which we are still urgently attempting to figure out answers in our time. In an increasingly polarized society, how can we — should we be? — in relationship with someone whose opinions and beliefs are inimical to our own? In a time of growing aware- ness about behavior that we now recognize as unaccept- able but was often excused in the past — perhaps making advances on a subordinate, or wearing blackface to a party — when can someone who has done something wrong be rehabilitated and when does that wrongdoing keep them beyond the bounds of society? How do racist or xenophobic views held by some impact society as a whole, and what steps do we need to take to purge the damage they cause to our moral fabric? None of these questions has easy answers, then or now. But the genius of Leviticus is that it took these abstract, conceptual questions that are at the heart of how we try to build an eth- ical and righteous society and made them concrete, practical and actionable. The sacrifices, according to many Biblical scholars, were a system that wiped clean the moral contamination that resulted from individual and communal misdeeds, allowing the society to view these wrongs as expiated. The distinction between tahor and tamei — rit- ually pure and impure allowed the ancient Israelites to know what circumstances put some- one beyond the bounds of the camp, literally as well as fig- uratively, and provided a pre- scribed procedure for bringing someone back in. Similarly, the institution of the Day of Atonement, described in chapter 16 of this book, pro- vided the community with a means to atone, to expiate the offenses they had committed before God and one another in a cathartic celebration that allowed them to move forward with reassurance and hope. All of these rituals, and so many others described through- out the course of the book, are intended to uphold and promote holiness. As God instructs, “You shall be holy for I the Lord your God am holy.” (Lev. 19:2) The Israelites were aspiring to build a society that placed holiness at the center, that recognized that what- ever actions take place between jury in a tax evasion case. At the beginning of the book, Zesty’s performing at a stand-up comedy club (his other passion in life) when a homicide detec- tive who was involved in the tax evasion case shows up with a Boston Globe reporter. A Molotov cocktail is thrown at the reporter, who isn’t badly injured, and sets into motion a series of events, including wondering which of her stories prompted the attempted hit. Those stories dig into the gentrification of Boston, gangs infiltrating mid- night basketball leagues and Eastern Europeans laundering money through real estate, among other things. That’s a lot to process, and your head likely will be starting to spin 100 pages in. Everything does get explained by the end — assuming you’re still read- ing — but Abramowitz might benefit by adhering to Occam’s razor, the principle of logic that says the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Unfortunately, in a day and age when even a superhe- ro’s back story is complicated enough to stretch a 90-min- ute movie into one lasting 2½ hours, we’re likely to see even fewer Occam adherents. l JEWISH EXPONENT CAND LE LI GHT I NG Mar. 15 Mar. 22 people are not merely personal and private, but involve and implicate God as well. With this awareness, we are called on to assume the extra responsibility of realizing just how significant our behavior is, not only on an interpersonal scale but on a cosmic one as well. When we fall short, we must make amends not only to the person we have harmed but to God as well, and we are given the gift of a specific path that tells us how. Imagine if we held to this standard today! Imagine if we took seriously the com- mand, “You shall not wrong one another but shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God. Rather you shall observe My laws and faithfully keep My rules, that you may live upon the land in security.” (Lev. 25:17-18) Imagine if instead of try- ing to evade responsibility for our shortcomings — to vehe- mently deny them until caught, then practice damage control by “apologizing to anyone who might have been offended” — we acknowledged and accepted them, realizing that our society can only become better by rec- ognizing our shared responsi- bility for building an ethical and loving world and the critical role 6:49 p.m. 6:57 p.m. that all of us play in increasing or diminishing holiness. The ritualized answers Leviticus provides were attempts to grapple with the questions we ask as a society, and the harm that occurs when they are left unresolved. They paint the picture of a society built around a mission and purpose — of realizing holi- ness through our everyday behavior and actions. Although the specific answers and remedies Leviticus provides may not speak to us in our own time, as we read through Leviticus in the months ahead we should appreciate — and learn from — the society that had the cour- age to ask these questions and the audacity to seek ways to confront them head on. l Rabbi Joshua Waxman is the spiritual leader of Or Hadash: A Reconstructionist Congregation and serves as president of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia.

From Pittsburgh to Selma: Civil Rights Through a Jewish Lens “WHEN THE SHOOTING in Pittsburgh happened, it was a wakeup call for me as a Jew,” Jan Kushner, 33, said. “It brought up an aspect of being Jewish in America I hadn’t thought about before” — revealing how her Judaism connected her to the larger struggles against American bigotry. She wanted to know more. And so this past February, she headed south on National Young Leadership Cabinet’s Civil Rights Mission: a four-day trip to Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery. “Th is was an easy trip to say yes to,” Kushner said. National Young Leadership Cabinet (NYLC), or Cabinet, is Th e Jewish Federations of North America’s fl agship leadership program. Its members are philanthropic-minded 30- and 40-somethings intent on building strong local and global Jewish communities, and are ready to be groomed into leaders. Cabinet members from across the country volunteer together; gather at retreats, confer- ences and social events; network with 4,000 alumni; and embark on travel for learning experiences through a Jewish lens. Th e Civil Rights Mission was powerful for Kushner, a fi rst-year Cabinet member. Joined by half of the Philadelphia delegation and a large group of Cabinet members and alumni from across the country, she walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge — where in 1965 a peaceful march for voting rights was attacked by state troopers with batons and tear gas — and met with activist Joanne Bland, who survived that “Bloody Sunday.” She visited the 16th Street Baptist Church, where four young girls were killed in a 1963 bombing. She also had Shabbat dinner at Birmingham’s Temple Beth El, whose members’ support of desegregation had targeted the shul for an attempted dynamite bombing in 1954. In learning about Jews’ long alliance in the African-American struggle, Kushner was moved to hear a rabbi speak of our own experience as Egyptian slaves, and of the subsequent obligation to treat others fairly and to protect the vulnerable. “Th e trip was very timely, very present, very sobering,” she said. “I feel very lucky to have participated.” And she’s looking forward to more.

The exhibition, which will run from April 5 through Sept. 2, will include the museum’s first public art installation at Fifth and Market streets. “Sara Berman’s Closet,” as adapted from the namesake’s closet in her studio apartment in New York City’s West Village, was recreated by Maira and Alex Kalman, her daughter and grandson.

A native of Belarus, Berman, who died in 2004, moved to Palestine in 1932 as a young girl, witnessed the creation of Israel and raised her two daughters there. At the age of 60, she left an unhappy marriage and moved to New York, where she lived in a studio apartment whose remarkable closet is replicated in the exhibit.

C.S. §§2731-2742 - IN RE: J.K.Y. - To: Marytheresa Ann Friend McDonough - This is to inform you of an important option that may be available to you under PA law. Act 101 of 2010 allows for an enforce- able voluntary agreement for continuing contact or communication follow- ing an adoption between an adoptive parent, a child, a birth parent and/or a birth relative of the child, if all parties agree and the voluntary agreement is approved by the court. The agreement must be signed and approved by the court to be legally binding. A birth relative is defined only as a parent, grandparent, stepparent, sibling, uncle or aunt of the child’s birth family, whether the relationship is by blood, marriage or adoption. This voluntary agreement may allow you to have continuing contact or communication, in- cluding, but not limited to: Letters and/or emails; Photo and/or videos; Telephone calls and/or text messages; or Supervised or unsupervised vis- its. If you are interested in learning more about this option for a voluntary agreement, contact me at 267.898.0570, or your Atty. if you have one. SAMUEL C.
