McLaughlin, who grew up in Overbrook Park and spent nearly 20 years as an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia, previously served on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas and the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. With Chief Justice Thomas Saylor, a Republican, set to retire, McLaughlin’s election to the court could create a 6-1 majority for Democrats. She’ll run against Republican Commonwealth Court Judge Kevin Brobson this fall.

Among all 16 candidates, only Nick Kamau received more votes than Barish. And finally, Rebecca Rhynhart, who has been city controller since 2018, went unchallenged in her campaign for the Democratic nomina- tion for the same position.

Over the past two weeks, Hamas has launched over 4,000 rockets aimed at Israeli population centers, forcing millions of people into bomb shelters every night and causing unimaginable destruction, trauma and the deaths of innocent civilians. Israel, like all nations, has the right to protect itself from terrorism and defend her people. For Hamas, this is not about evictions, annexation, or statehood; nor is it about building a better future for Palestinians. Hamas’s victims include the Palestinian people who have suffered for years under the regime’s violence, corrupt leadership and disturbing human rights violations, including using children as human shields and launching rockets at civilian targets from schools and hospitals for their own political benefit. We will always stand with the right of the Jewish people to live and to thrive, especially in their ancestral homeland in Israel. We pray that the new ceasefire will hold and calm will soon be restored in the region. We extend our prayers for recovery to all those injured and mourn for all innocent lives lost. We join with those ever-yearning for a more peaceful, secure, and just future for all living in the region and around the world.

Owner Roz Bratt said the Society Hill bakery at 510 S. Fifth St. will close its retail operation on May 28, with the final day of commercial accounts “no later than the end of June.” “I just can’t do this anymore,” Bratt said, “I’m 72, will be in 73 in November. I can’t bake like I used to.” Bratt is selling the bakery — which will no longer be kosher — to a former apprentice. The pandemic contributed to Bratt’s decision to retire because it has made finding help difficult — a situation common across the baking industry, she said. She typically works with two other employees. “It’s hard to find good workers who want to stay,” she said, describing people who would work for a few days, then never show up again. When the pandemic struck, she closed for two weeks, then opened wholesaling again and finally the retail part of her business. The story of Homemade Goodies by Roz dates back to the 1990s, when she worked as a Mellon Bank teller at a branch at Second and Chestnut streets. Some of her coworkers opened a luncheonette, and she wanted to help. “There was a sign saying ‘homemade,’ and they had Meet M A BEL W IL SON Matriarch SHE’S CALLED SIMPSON HOUSE HOME SINCE 2019 Family comes first for Mabel Wilson, whose happiest memories are of family birthdays and Sunday dinners.

Eventually, she set out on her own, with her late brother Bobby Rothstein, a plumber by trade, putting the store together. Other friends chipped in, too. Singer Norman Burnett of The Tymes, who had a No. 1 hit in 1963 with “So Much in Love,” was a bank customer who chipped in with the painting. The store opened in 1997 and became popular quickly. “(The late Temple University basketball coach) John Chaney would come in here and buy goodies for his basketball players,” she said. Bratt obtained kosher certi- fication in 2008 and retains pareve, pas Yisroel, certi- fication from Keystone-K, the Community Kashrus of Greater Philadelphia. She estimates that 60% of her customers come specifically because of the kosher certi- fication, with the remainder being from the neighborhood or from people just passing by. “I love what I do, and I know my stuff is good — and it’s not me saying that,” Bratt said. Rabbi Yonah Gross, who is the kashrus administrator for Keystone-K, said the kosher landscape is always changing, especially as smaller bakeries face pressures. There are larger institu- tional bakeries that have filled some of the gap,” he said. The pandemic has definitely changed things, too. “There have been a bunch of home-based businesses” that have sprung up that, while not certified, have spread because of word of mouth, he said. And some small bakeries have taken advantage of JEWISH EXPONENT Roz Bratt already-certified space. For example, a bakery used the commercial kitchen at Congregation Beth Hamedrosh in Wynnewood — where Gross is rabbi — once a week. In addition, with the pandemic seemingly winding down, Keystone-K has been approached by both new and existing businesses about certi- fication, Gross said. Bratt hasn’t decided what the future holds, but she’s walking away with a clear conscience. “I don’t think I have any regrets,” she said. Bratt did offer a parting gift to Exponent readers: the recipe for her signature Jewish apple cake from her cookbook, “Homemade Goodies by Roz.” Apple Cake 3 cups flour 1½ cups sugar Courtesy of Roz Bratt 3 teaspoons baking powder 4 eggs 1 cup oil 2½ teaspoons vanilla ½ cup orange juice Apple mixture: 5 apples (peeled, cored and chopped) 2 teaspoons cinnamon 5 tablespoons sugar Add all the dry ingredients into a bowl.

To 76ers fans, it was an auspicious beginning to the team’s quest for an NBA championship, which would be the franchise’s first since the 1982-’83 season. Having entered this year’s playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, hopes are, understandably, quite high. To Jake Fischer, the perfor- mance by Embiid and the rest of his teammates is the culmi- nation of much more than one season of high-level basket- ball. The author of the new book “Built to Lose: How the NBA’s Tanking Era Changed the League Forever” sees the first-game victory as another chapter in a story that begins years ago, one that he’s been itching to tell. Fischer, 27, lives in Brooklyn, where he writes about the NBA for Bleacher Report. Previously, Fischer worked for Sports Illustrated, and his writing has appeared in GQ, The Washington Post and SLAM Magazine, among other publications. Much like the story of Embiid and the 76ers, Fischer’s story doesn’t start with wild successes. Unlike the team’s 7-foot-3 center from Cameroon, his begins at Cherry Hill East High School. Fischer was “somewhat of an OK basketball player” in high school, by his lights, competing in regional Maccabi Games and in the local JCC league, too. When it became apparent that he probably wouldn’t be taking his talents to the colle- giate level, Fischer decided to devote more of his time to working on communications for his USY region, Hagesher JEWISHEXPONENT.COM (now called Mizrach). He also decided that he would pursue a career that was slightly easier to break into than professional basketball: writing. He got his start writing for Eastside, the school newspaper. After he graduated in 2012, heading off to Northeastern University, Fischer landed an internship at SLAM, the legendary basketball publication that he’d dreamed of working for one day. Through his school’s co-op program, he was also able to cover high school basketball for The Boston Globe. In between those gigs, Fischer started to write a little bit for Liberty Ballers, a local 76ers blog. That was 2013, which happened to be the year that the team hired a Houston Rockets executive named Sam Hinkie to be the general manager. That’s where Fischer’s story and that of his book begin to converge. Hinkie deployed an aggres- sive tanking strategy, losing as many games as possible over multiple seasons in order to acquire a slew of high draft picks. Players of value were quickly flipped for future draft picks; the team became a repository for every other team’s second-rounders. To many observers, and some in the league office, “The Process,” as it came to be known, flew in the face of competition. To Fischer and others, The Process was a chance to give the team the best possible shot at winning an NBA champi- onship: drafting an elite player with a high draft pick. One of those elite players, drafted by Hinkie, was Embiid. For years, Fischer observed from afar as Hinkie’s strategy seemed to have massive ramifi- cations for the rest of the league. Since he was fired in the spring of 2016, Fischer sensed, Hinkie’s team-building philos- ophy was increasingly seen as more than the fringe views of Jake Fischer Courtesy of Jake Fischer Courtesy of Triumph Books a short-lived front office execu- tive. Maybe, rather than being foolhardy or anti-competitive, there was something visionary in what he’d tried to do. In 2019, Fischer’s time at Sports Illustrated came to an unfortu- nate end after Authentic Brands Group, a brand management company, bought the magazine and laid off 40 employees. The year before, Fischer had started to put together some notes for a book about The Process and the league-wide reactions to it, and he decided to take the oppor- tunity to press forward with the project. Over the next few years, Fischer interviewed more than 300 agents, players, coaches and front office executives for “Built to Lose,” which he wrote covering the period of Hinkie’s 2013-’16 tenure. The book retells old, forgotten stories and brings to light new elements of what Fischer argues is a forma- tive era of contemporary NBA team-building. With the onset of the pandemic, Fischer was able to lock himself in his room and write until he couldn’t anymore. He feels lucky to have had something to keep himself busy during those early days of lockdown. Now that “Built to Lose,” published by Triumph Books, is out, Fischer believes the story he’s told makes it clear that there’s no better alternative for small market NBA teams than Sam Hinkie’s tear-it-down team-building method. Thus far, the reception has been positive. “I definitely was confident that people would like it,” Fischer said, “But now that the work is out there and people are enjoying it, it’s definitely really rewarding.” l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 7 Deadly Mistakes That Will Cost You Thousands When You Sell Your Home Philadelphia - A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

They might mix wool and linen, but they’ve got some strong opinions on mixing stripes with florals. In this space, we’ll talk to designers, sellers, buyers, influencers, models and more. This week, we spoke to David Schwartz. FOR MORE THAN 90 years, Sophy Curson has been one of the premier women’s boutiques in Philadelphia, a Rittenhouse Square mainstay that’s weath- ered every imaginable storm. And for more than 30 of those years, David Schwartz has helped steer the ship, starting as a summer hire in inventory to doing, in his words, “every- thing.” (Technically speaking, he’s vice president, while his mother, Susan, niece of the store’s namesake, is president.) Schwartz, 54, believes that for all of the incursions that online shopping has made into his family’s business, there’s simply nothing to replace the care of a knowledgeable sales associate speaking with you in person. “What they don’t talk about in direct-to-consumer and instant buying on Instagram is that in the end, you really have to try the piece on, especially with dresses like I sell,” Schwartz said. Schwartz, a graduate of William Penn Charter School and Kenyon College, first joined the family business in 1988. He’d previously worked some summers between school, but it wasn’t until that year that Schwartz joined his mother at the store. He loved what he found there, the chance to help the women of Philadelphia find something they felt would set them apart. Even though the store has passed down through generations, with tastes for this or that rising and falling with the seasons, there is a sensi- bility shared among the family members that have run the store, Schwartz believes. It’s not just color or style or material — though Schwartz does believe that his purchases would please his long-gone elders — but a shared sense for what it is that Sophy Curson storefront Everyone asked me, how have I succeeded?

Th e decline was attributed to the impact of the country’s third pandemic lockdown from late December into February, and a drop in car imports. Excluding the decline in car imports because of taxation changes, GDP was down 2.5%. Private consumption declined by 3.2% on an annualized basis, although excluding the drop in durable goods consumption, private consumption grew 7.2%. “In our estimation, the contraction in the fi rst quarter is not indicative of an expected trend in the rest of the year, and we expect a substantial acceleration in growth in the second quarter and throughout 2021,” Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Chief strategist Modi Shafrir said. EL Al to Cut 1,900 Jobs El Al Israel Airlines said on May 20 it was trimming 1,900 jobs — about a third of its staff — as part of its plan to recover from COVID-19’s impact, Th e Jerusalem Post reported. El Al reported an $86 million loss from January through March, despite other cost-cutting measures, compared to a loss of $140 million in the same period in 2020. Revenue fell 64% to $117 million, while expenses declined 54%. El Al, which is under new ownership and management, has lost money for three years and accumulated debt by renewing its fl eet. Despite the fi ghting between Israel and Hamas, El Al was one of a few airlines that didn’t suspend its fl ights into and out of Israel. Earlier in May, the Israeli government approved a bailout for El Al that includes the state covering $210 million in security costs. Th e airline raised $83 million in the quarter by selling options and plans to issue $105 million in shares by July. Students Expose Fake Israel-Gaza News, Anti-Israel Propaganda Found on Social Media About 180 Israeli students at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya are monitoring social media to sniff out fake news and anti-Israel propaganda while also advancing Israel’s point of view about the confl ict between Israel and Hamas, Th e Times of Israel reported. Volunteers look for falsehoods and present facts, with the center estimating that their messages have been seen by more than 2 million internet users. Aside from rooting out false news, students succeeded in blocking the Twitter account of a Gaza terror group senior member, who was inciting violence against Israel.

He was 86. Grodin was raised in an Orthodox Jewish house- hold in Pittsburgh but became less observant in his adult years. “In Hebrew school,” he told J. the Jewish News of Northern California in 2004, “we’d recite the Hebrew written on a blackboard. I annoyed the rabbi so much he threw me out of class.” He began his career with supporting roles in fi lms including “Rosemary’s Baby” and “Catch-22,” then had a lead role in “Th e Heartbreak Kid” as a Jewish sporting goods salesman who falls for a college girl. Grodin later featured in several other major comedies, including “Heaven Can Wait,” “Seems Like Old Times,” “Midnight Run” and “Beethoven.” Grodin won an Emmy in 1978 for co-writing the “Paul Simon Special” variety show. Born Marvin Aufrichtig to Jewish parents in Brooklyn, he was one of basketball’s most prominent broadcasters, but he also was a national voice for the NFL and NHL. Albert called the Olympic gold medal game for the original basketball Dream Team in 1992 and NCAA tournament games, boxing and tennis.

Pakistani Offi cial Repeats Antisemitic Tropes During a May 20 segment on CNN about the Israel- Gaza violence, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi echoed a pair of antisemitic tropes, JTA reported. Qureshi said Israel is losing “the media war” in its battle against Hamas, “despite their connections.” Anchor Bianna Golodryga, who is Jewish, responded with “What are their connections?” Qureshi laughed, then said “Deep pockets.” Golodryga asked what he meant, which prompted Qureshi to say, “Well, they’re very infl uential people, they control media.” “I would call that an antisemitic remark,” Golodryga responded. During a seven-minute exchange, Quereshi described Israel’s actions against Hamas as “genocide,” “war crimes” and “ethnic cleansing.” ● — Compiled by Andy Gotlieb They chose a premier Life Plan Community.

IF YOU ENJOY scenic valley, a mild temperate climate, beautiful mountains, abundant outdoor recreation opportunities, art and/or trains, you should put Roanoke, Virginia, and vicinity on your must-see list. This appealing city of about 100,000 (about 325,000 in the region), set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, has all of that and more. Located just west of the mountains on the Roanoke River, the geography that made the town a natural trade center has shaped its history. It became a significant railroad town in the 1880s, and today it has evolved as a major freight rail center that also celebrates its rail history with two excellent museums and an informative rail walk downtown. Roanoke also has a lot of urban appeal due to its emergence as western Virginia’s epicenter for business, education, tourism and health. Virginia’s Blue Ridge is now open in Phase Three of the commonwealth’s Forward Virginia Recovery Plan in response to COVID-19. Most businesses are open, but occupancy is limited to 50% of capacity, or 1,000 patrons.

Photo by Jeff Orenstein While Roanoke might not be a major Jewish center, the city is more Jewish than many small to mid-sized cities in this region. The 2010 U.S. Religious Census: Religious Congregations & Membership Study published by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies indicated Roanoke had two of the nation’s 3,464 Jewish congregations — Beth Israel (Conservative) and Temple Emanuel (Reform). It also is home to a Jewish Community Council of Richmond branch and a Jewish Community Preschool, a joint effort of both congregations. As the town grew in the 1880s, the first Jews arrived and soon created Beth Jacob congre- gation. Like many early congregations in the U.S., an influx of both western and eastern European immigrants eventually led to a split. In 1906, more traditional members left to start a new Conservative congregation, soon known as Beth Israel and the remaining members changed their name to Temple Emanuel. During the boom years following World War II, Jews continued to settle in Roanoke. By 1960, there were 800 in town, although they were excluded from most social clubs and some other Roanoke organizations. The community dealt with typical antisemitism and exclusion prevalent in the U.S. at the time even though the civil rights era erased legal Jewish exclusion. By the last fifth of the 20th century, Jews had become generally well-accepted — and active — in Roanoke’s social and civic milieu. There has been some evidence of antisemitism in Roanoke since an isolated act in 1988 and during the last few years, especially after the Charlottesville incident. Today, the Jewish population of Roanoke is just over 1,000, and both Jewish congregations remain vibrant and active and are coping with the pandemic, When Temple Emanuel under- went major renovation, Beth Israel allowed the congregation to use its space for services. The temple maintains an active sisterhood, brotherhood, and youth group. In 2013, Beth Israel had about 160 families. The synagogue’s sisterhood, men’s club and youth group host a number of different social and charitable events throughout the city. In 2005, the two congregations established the Jewish Community Preschool, which is open to all children in Roanoke. This communal effort is the latest in a long history of joint activities between the two congregations. The Taubmans are a prominent Roanoke Jewish family and Advance Auto Parts, founded by Arthur Taubman in 1932, is Roanoke’s lone Fortune 500 company. Nick Taubman served as U.S. ambassador to Romania from 2005-’08. The family has been influential in Roanoke’s arts community and, in 2008, it made a large donation to what is now known as the Taubman Museum of Art in downtown Roanoke. — Jeff and Ginny Orenstein A CALL FOR HELP Jonathan Newman is in dire need of a new kidney – and he and his family are praying he will find an altruistic donor to save his life. Newman, who is 39, has polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic disorder that took the lives of his grandmother and great-grandmother. Fortunately his mother and maternal uncle found donors and have gone on to lead healthy lives. Since this is a genetic problem, and not due to an illness (e.g. diabetes), a do- nated kidney will not be attacked, and is expected to last many years, if not the patient’s full life time. It is expected that once Jonathan receives a new kidney, he will be able to lead a normal life – and enjoy every moment with his wife as they raise their young son. Jonathan is currently listed for transplant at University of Pennsylvania and two other institutions.

Lutts, who was indicted by a grand jury on April 15, faces up to 480 years in jail, up to $6 million in fi nes, up to three years of supervised release and a $2,400 special assessment, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce. Her real and personal property also is subject to forfeiture. As of May 24, she was in custody awaiting a deten- tion hearing, said Jennifer Crandall, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce. A public defender was appointed to represent Lutts. “The usual reward of nonprofi t work is personal fulfillment, not finan- cial enrichment,” Michael J. Driscoll, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division, said in a statement. “Lutts, however, allegedly treated these organi- zations like her very own ATM, shortchanging their eff orts and the community in the process. Th e FBI will pursue and hold accountable anyone foolish enough to engage in this kind of fraud.” Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia Chief Operating Offi cer Steven Rosenberg said “while we learned an unfortu- nate lesson, it’s clearly a case of good triumphing over evil.” “We not only got the majority of the money back [through insurance], we chased the person down,” Rosenberg said. “Th e paper is stable now, which is a win considering the print-journalism market. We still know the Jewish Exponent is the prominent voice of the Jewish community in Philadelphia.” Rosenberg said Lutts, who was an Exponent employee for 18 years, was fi red for poor performance before the fraud was discovered. According to Rosenberg, Mike Costello, Lutts’ replacement, found a fabricated bank statement in Lutts’ desk drawer on his fi rst day on the job. Th e Exponent and Jewish Federation consulted first with Frank Riehl, the latter’s director of security, and then the Philadelphia Police Department. “As we recognized this was beyond the police department’s scope, we immediately called in the FBI,” Rosenberg said, adding that outside counsel and other assistance was brought in, while the insurance carrier was notifi ed. According to the 12-page indictment, starting in 2016 Lutts used both her personal and corporate American Express cards for a wide variety of personal expenses, including rideshare services; airline tickets; entertainment, travel and lodging; health care and exercise services; utilities; education and career services; legal services; funeral and burial services; clothing; food and alcohol; and other items from retail stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, websites, restaurants and The fi rst page of the indictment against former Jewish Exponent Director of Business Operations Cheryl Lutts delivery services.

But the next line down surprised her. To Marci Goldfinger’s knowledge, her father had only had two siblings, his older brother Harold and his younger sister, Ruth (Irving and Ruth were not included in the 1930 census as it predated their births). Why was there a line for an older sister named “Norma Goldfinger?” Marci Goldfinger called up her father, and asked him that question. He was silent for a while. “That must be the name of my sister,” he finally answered. Irving Goldfinger, 88, was a child when he first learned about the existence of an older sister, one who died before he was born. It was something he heard by accident, secretive grown-up talk that a child hears in passing. When his parents died in 1990, Irving Goldfinger had never asked them about what he was sure he’d heard once, decades before. And even after Marci Goldfinger turned up the name “Norma” in 2012 — the first time Irving Goldfinger put a name to an idea — he didn’t know what to do with the information. It was only after watching a “Sunday Morning” segment in the fall of 2020 about the desecration of a Black cemetery that it clicked for him: He needed to find Norma. He wasn’t sure how he was going to do it. The pandemic was entering its most deadly stage, keeping him isolated at home in Richboro, and he did not use the internet. But he felt more than a compulsion to try. He felt a responsibility. “Life is important,” Irving Goldfinger said. “To some people in the world today, life is not important. Life is important. She existed. And I want to honor her.” Irving Goldfinger was born in 1932. Sadie Goldfinger, a born Philadelphian, was at JEWISHEXPONENT.COM home with her children, and Abraham Goldfinger, born in Poland, was a cutter for J. Maimon & Sons, a clothing company, eventually rising to the level of foreman. Irving Goldfinger graduated from Central High School before earning an accounting degree from Temple University. In 1956, just a few years out from Temple, Goldfinger married Estelle Miller, and the two were married until her death on Dec. 1, 2018, their 62nd anniver- sary. They had two daughters together, Marci Goldfinger, of Chalfont, who works for Johnson & Johnson, and Susan Goldfinger Bilker, of Jamison, a licensed clinical social worker. For 50 years, Irving Goldfinger earned a living as a CPA, special- izing in fraud analysis. “I learned early: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” he said. “You could smell it.” He was a partner at Laventhol & Horwath for 23 years, which came to a crashing end in 1990 when the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to the Chicago Tribune archives. That same year, both of his parents died and they took any information about Irving Goldfinger’s sister with them to the family plot in Roosevelt Memorial Park. “It was boom, boom, boom,” Susan Goldfinger Bilker said. “It was rough for him.” In the fall of 2020, when Goldfinger informed his daughters of his intentions to find his older sister, they could see how freighted with meaning the search would become. “This has been a quest for him,” Marci Goldfinger said, “and it would be a relief that we found her.” In October, with help from his daughters, Irving Goldfinger decided that it was finally time to find some facts, and more specifically, to find Norma. “She was alive, she was a person,” he said, his voice cracking. “And she is not being recognized.” The trio began to file records requests, searching for traces of Norma in the archives of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Having found Norma’s date of death — Aug. 13, 1931 — they were able to file with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for her death certificate. In October, they received a copy. Norma Goldfinger was born on Sept. 21, 1929, and died at the age of 23 months, with the cause listed as “diabetes acidosis with coma.” Her father’s name is misstated as “Albert” — that was his nickname — and his place of birth is incorrectly listed as Russia, rather than to place a stone on Norma’s grave can seem dim. But her father always had a mind for details, and he remains a sharp thinker. “It would be a wonderful thing, to be able to honor her and to be able to say yizkor and do all the things that you should do for family.” Irving Goldfinger is distraught that his search is taking so long, but he is persisting with the help of his daughters. As he said, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And he believes there’s an awful lot of smoke. l & & TAY-SACHS CANAVAN CANAVAN SCREENING SCREENING CALL (215) 887-0877 FOR DETAILS e-mail: ntsad@aol.com; visit: www.tay-sachs.org ■ Screening for other Jewish Genetic Diseases also available.

Less than a mile away, a rocket smashed down on a less fortunate Israeli. He died on the spot as deafening sirens screamed all around the city. When you feel the fear, you truly understand the right of Israel to defend itself. I came to Israel two weeks ago to visit my daughter, who decided to enlist to the IDF. She started basic training, and my plan was to go back to Philly the following week. My flight was canceled, and I was in a war zone. Fortunately enough, I was staying north of Tel Aviv. In my case, I had 90 seconds to get to the bomb shelter. Others not as fortunate had only 15 seconds. I had to get to the bomb shelter five times with my nephews, who are only 3 and 5 years old. To see them wakening up terri- fied to sirens in the middle of the night was horrifying. Ido Avigal was a 5-year-old Israeli who lived in Sderot. Eleven days ago, Ido and his family managed to reach their bomb shelter within 15 seconds of hearing the sirens, but it was not enough. The rocket hit the building next to his, and shrapnel pierced through the safe room, killing Ido, and wounding his mother and 7-year-old sister. Over 11 days, the terror organization Hamas launched over 4,000 rockets at Israeli cities and civilians; 4,000 missiles and mortar shells were sent to kill Israeli civilians, both Arab and Jewish. I am not writing these words to elicit pity. If you know Israelis you know we are strong people. Unfortunately, we have been through worse, and these attacks only bring us closer together. I am not writing to explain the attack in Gaza, either. Israel is a sovereign state with a responsibility and moral obligation to defend its citizens from attacks and threats. I am writing these words because I see so much misin- formation. People who call themselves influencers use this “power” to dehumanize my fellow Israelis and me. They try to hide the truth of the vicious methods and goals of our attackers. Yes, the situation in the Gaza Strip is bad, really bad, not only during the last few days, but for many years. The density, the poverty, the corruption and the entire way of life are gruesome. The vicious cycle of fighting has brought only misery to the Palestinian people living in Gaza. With all that being said, rockets fired into Israel cannot be white-washed into an act of righteousness. There is no justification for blind attempts to murder civilians. As an Israeli who has lived through this conflict, I understand the pain and despair, but blind terror cannot be justified. This is the time for the Jewish community to come together and support Israel’s right to defend itself and to exist. Last week, more than 200 people came together to rally for unity and peace in Israel amid barrages of rockets fired at Israeli civil- ians. They marched from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to the Holocaust Memorial Plaza, organized by the Israeli- American Council in a day. It began with the distribution of “Israel is Under Attack” and “I Stand with Israel” posters, Israeli flags and stickers. This week, with the support of so many organization and 700 people, we stood under the Israeli flag, standing for Israel and against antisemitism. The American-Jewish community has to actively counter false information from social media and mainstream news. The IAC has tools to educate all ages about the conflict, antisemitism and how to take an active role in defending Israel. A week ago, while I was lying flat on the asphalt trying to avoid being struck by a rocket, millions of Israeli citizens were in shelters. Others, like Ido Avigal z”l, were killed or wounded. A lot of loss, suffering and destruction simultaneously happened across the border in the Gaza Strip. Now, as in the past, I hope for more peaceful times and a time where people share more optimism and opportunities for us to connect instead of dehumanizing and promoting hatred. I hope to see the Jewish community stand up for Israel and share the truth without fear. l Yoni Ari is regional director of Philadelphia’s Israeli-American Council. How Could Rabbinical Students Ignore Israel’s Right to Defend Itself? BY RABBI EREZ SHERMAN I WAS AGHAST to read a letter signed by close to 100 rabbin- ical students — future leaders of the Jewish community who will serve in pulpits, on college campuses and within Jewish organizations — which shame- fully ignores Israel’s right, let alone duty, to defend her citizens. 16 MAY 27, 2021 As a rabbi who sat in those houses of study both in New York and in Jerusalem, it pains me greatly to see the lack of support and understanding of Israel from these students. I would like to address their points directly. You claim that our tears must be directed to injustices. But where are your tears for the millions of Israeli civilians — Jews, Muslims and Christians — who have been huddled in bomb shelters because a terrorist group has rained nearly 3,000 rockets on them? Where are your tears for the residents of Kibbutz Aza, Netivot and Sderot, who have been terrorized by those same rockets ever since Israel evacu- ated Gaza more than 15 years ago? Visit their communities where for years balloons have floated over the border for children to run after, soon to find out the string was attached to an explosive to inflict harm. Instead, you seem embar- rassed that Israel has been forced to have an army strong enough to defend its inhabitants. Here is the simple truth, quoting Rabbi David Wolpe, that you blatantly ignored: “If Hamas stopped raining rockets on Israel, it would be over. If Israel stopped defending and retaliating, it would be slaughter.” You ask that when we teach, we should teach about the “human beings who didn’t ask for new neighbors.” For this I ask you to return to your classrooms and review the dates of 586 BCE JEWISH EXPONENT and 70 CE, when the Jewish Temples of Jerusalem were destroyed. Rather than being a “new neighbor,” the Jewish presence in Israel is ancient. Please also review your modern Israeli history, with momentous dates of 1929, 1948, 1967, 1973, 1982, 2007, 2009, 2014 and 2021, when our presence as an ancient neighbor was not just a nuisance but a necessary evil to uproot. And please review the multiple offers of peace which were not only rejected without counteroffers, but were met with more death and destruc- tion, bus bombings, stabbings and other violence against the Jewish people. You ask that when we vote, not to vote for leaders who fund violence. Please review once again that it was the bi-partisanship from both sides of the aisle that funded the modern military miracle of the Iron Dome, which has saved thousands of lives. You ask how we as Jews who were involved with racial reckoning in our communities this past year are not using our voices now to implicate Israel with racist violence. Racist?

The act was a forceful response to the disgraceful attacks on Asian Americans by bigots who blamed them for the COVID-19 pandemic, which had originated in China. In passing the act, members of both parties in the House and Senate demonstrated that they can do the right thing, at least once in a while. Nothing of the sort appears to be contemplated in response to the attacks by Palestinian sympathizers on Jewish- American persons, synagogues and restaurants during and after the latest Israel-Hamas conflict. In Los Angeles, pro-Palestinian attackers threw punches and bottles at diners at a kosher sushi restaurant. In New York’s heavily Jewish Diamond District, Palestinian supporters threw fireworks at Jews from a car amid a violent street alter- cation. Hamas supporters also beat a Jewish man in New York’s Times Square, sending him to hospital with severe injuries. They threatened Jewish residents in a heavily Jewish Miami neigh- borhood. Video surveillance at Chicago’s Persian Hebrew Congregation, which was defaced by attackers, captured two people, one carrying a stick and another holding a sign that read “Freedom for Palestine.” JEWISHEXPONENT.COM In each of these cases, and others, the pro-Palestinian attackers had no idea whether their Jewish targets were supporters of Israel. Indeed, polls have shown that a majority of Jewish Americans support the creation of a Palestinian state alongside the state of Israel. No matter. Those who support the Palestinian cause attacked their victims merely because they were Jews. In so doing, they confirmed that their hatred of Israel extends to all Jews every- where, as indeed, Hamas has made clear in its own charter. All told, the Anti-Defamation League has reported at least 200 possible antisemitic incidents in the United States since the onset of the fighting between Israel and Hamas. Nevertheless, despite the ongoing upsurge in attacks on Jews, especially against so-called visible Jews — that is, bearded Jews who dress in black suits, or merely Jews who will sport a small yarmulke or wear a star of David necklace — the leadership of the Democratic-controlled Congress has done little more than issue sympathetic tweets. Congress has done virtually nothing to condemn the attacks, much less legislate against them. One reason for Congressional inaction is that the pro-Pales- tinian attackers have the support of the so-called progressive Democratic Left. Democrats in the House have a five-seat majority, while the ultra-Left “squad,” which is blatantly anti-Is- rael and pro-Palestinian, now boasts six members. While U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at least has tweeted her condemna- tion of anti-Jewish attacks, several of her squad colleagues have not even gone that far. Not surpris- ingly, therefore, Speaker Nancy Pelosi cannot afford to alienate these progressives by pressing for legislation that would bring into sharper focus attacks on Jews by Palestinian sympathizers. Another reason for Congressional inaction is that Democrats are reluctant to criti- cize some of their own progressive legislators, even when the likes of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar issue blatantly antisemitic tweets. Indeed, in the aftermath of one such tweet, the House actually did consider a draft measure to condemn antisemitism. Nevertheless, under pressure from progressives, the Democratic House leadership watered the measure down so that in its final form it included not only antisem- itism, but also Islamophobia and discrimination against Latinos, Asian Americans, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, immigrants and the LGBTQ community. That the resolution had been rendered entirely meaningless is evidenced by the fact that despite its having included Asian Americans, Congress recognized the need for separate legislation geared solely toward anti-Asian bigotry and hate crimes. Democrats are fond of pointing out the cowardice of those of their Republican colleagues, who slavishly support Donald Trump and all that he stands for. They are right to do so. On the other hand, it is high time that Democrats showed some courage of their own. They should put an end to their own cowardly appeasement of an increasingly belligerent left, and finally pass legislation that would severely punish those who would verbally and physically abuse their fellow Americans simply because they happen to be Jewish. l Dov S.

JEWISH EXPONENT KVETCH ’N’ KVELL Israel Must Preserve Conditions for Future Two-State Solution IN RESPONSE TO Curtis Pontz’s thoughtful op-ed in the May 13 edition, you had me at “Peace a Dream Until Palestinians Accept Israel’s Legitimacy.” You express confidence “that once the Palestinians accept the Jewish people’s right to their own nation, which means agreeing to share the land of Palestine with the Jews, the great majority of Israeli Jews will fall in line with Palestinian aspirations for nationhood ...” For many years, I expressed the same point of view, describing such acceptance as the Palestinians’ version of former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s transformative trip to Jerusalem in 1977. To be honest, though, today I also worry about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s often-repeated pledge that a Palestinian state will never arise so long as he is in power. His Likud Party, the dominant political force in Israel today, is officially opposed to Palestinian statehood. Shouldn’t acceptance of national legitimacy go both ways? And what of the settlement project, which has relocated hundreds of thousands of Israeli Jews into the heart of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria)? I am concerned that if the Palestinian Sadat moment comes — whether next month, or next year, or in another generation — there will be no land on which Palestinians will be able to realize their aspirations for nationhood. That is why I strongly believe Israel would be well served to preserve the conditions for a future negotiated two-state outcome. Without a change in its settlement policy, Israel’s character as a majority Jewish and democratic state is gravely at risk. Martin J. Raffel | Langhorne Hamas’ Goal: Forcing Israel to Respond No commentator has remarked on the idea that Hamas is responsible for the deaths in Gaza, but here’s a thought: Hamas knows that with their first rocket aimed at Israel there will be a massive response, as Israel has a right to defend itself, and the only way to stop the Hamas rockets it to retaliate. If Hamas knows that Israel will respond with aircraft and bombs, Hamas could choose to refrain from sending rockets to Israel. By sending rockets, Hamas invites the Israeli aircraft to come to Gaza. Hamas shares responsibility for the deaths in Gaza. l David Broida | Bryn Mawr STATEMENT FROM THE PUBLISHER We are a diverse community.

I begin to move from the heavier, deeper pumpkin, chocolate and caramel recipes to citrus and coconut desserts. No, these are not “light” in the sense of diet, fat or calories, but they feel more seasonal as the weather warms. The coconut cake was a gift to a friend for his birthday — we planned to surprise him with a small group of vaccinated friends at my house for dinner, and his partner informed me that a white coconut cake was his favorite. I looked at a number of different recipes and eventually came up with this one, which uses coconut ingre- dients in both the cake and the icing, and also uses coconut extract. If you can’t find the extract, you can use a vanilla or almond in its place. This can easily be made pareve with the use of coconut oil, margarine or other nondairy option in the place of the butter/cream cheese. The cake uses only the egg whites, but don’t toss the yolks; make lemon or lime curd, custard, crème brulee, flan or a rich omelet, frittata or scramble.

And music once again is front and center at 7 p.m. on June 2 when the Elkins Park-based synagogue presents a free virtual performance of “To Bigotry No Sanction,” which was previously recorded. The cantata, which was first performed by KI in 2017, is based on President George Washington’s Aug. 21, 1790 letter to the Jews of Newport, Rhode Island. The letter is on display at times at the National Museum of American Jewish History. The letter was Washington’s response to a letter Hebrew Congregation of Newport leader Moses Seixas sent him shortly after his inauguration. The piece’s name is drawn from a famous line from Washington’s letter: “ … the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance ... ” For Cantor Jonathan Comisar, who composed “To Bigotry No Sanction,” Washington’s message is timely, especially in era of increasing antisemitism and general intolerance. “When I started this project, the letter was still ensconced in history,” he said. “As events unfolded in 2017 and through the last four years, it’s no longer ensconced in history. ... The letter’s message speaks loudly and compellingly right now.” New York-based Comisar, who teaches arranging and composition at Hebrew Union College, said the cantata includes both Jewish and American elements in the piece, JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Cantor Amy Levy (front center) and the multicultural choir such as fife and drum, which are commonly associated with the American Revolution. The production features a multicultural choir and Philadelphia Orchestra members. Kensho Watanabe, the orchestra’s former assistant conductor, served as conductor. In addition to Hebrew, 17 languages are included in the production — and that total of 18 is no accident, as it represents the spiritually important chai. “There’s a moment where all the languages are in a counter- point of cacophony,” he said, calling it the production’s most beautiful moment. Comisar also took care with the last words of the piece, noting that the final impres- sion is important. Those final words, taken from a phrase buried in Washington’s letter, are “if we have wisdom.” “Those are the words that both haunt and give me hope,” he said. “That is the great question of the day.” The program features an introduction by George Washington himself — as played by Dean Malissa of Huntingdon Valley, an histor- ical interpretive actor, who recently retired after nearly two decades of playing the nation’s first president at Mount Vernon in Virginia. Malissa, 68, is intimately familiar with Washington’s vast trove of written material and includes the 1790 letter among the first president’s most important. “On the issue of religious freedom, this ranks No. 1. There’s no clearer statement by Washington,” he said, pointing to its significance today. “If you read the words, you would think the ink is still wet.” Malissa, who is Jewish and grew up attending KI, said the cantata hits the mark in recog- nizing the importance of the letter. “I was particularly impressed by its ability to capture the enlightenment of our founders, especially Washington,” he said. KI Cantor Amy E. Levy, who originally commissioned the cantata from Comisar — a friend and former classmate — and performs a solo, is hopeful that those who view the perfor- mance will take away more than just beautiful music. “We hope this enlightens people and opens their minds,” she said. After the event, Comisar and KI Rabbi Lance Sussman will engage in a conversation moder- ated by filmmaker Sam Katz of History Making Productions, who shot the original perfor- mance in 2018 at the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia. More than 30 Jewish organi- zations in the Philadelphia area and beyond have signed on as partners for the event.

These artworks are an excellent introduction to the exhibition, organized by the Barnes and Musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie in Paris, which highlights the affinities between the two artists. While Soutine’s painting is smaller, darker and more figurative, the similarities between their styles are immediately clear. “What links these two artists specifically is their use of paint and the way they are able to create these intense and tactile images,” Simonetta Fraquelli, the exhibit’s co-cu- rator and consultant curator for the Barnes Foundation, said. “They’re almost three-di- mensional objects in terms of the way that the paint is so lush and expressive.” The stylistic connection between the artists is not coinci- dental; though they never met, de Kooning saw Soutine’s work multiple times, including on a visit to the Barnes in 1952, and wrote about the influence that the older artist had on him. Soutine was born in a shtetl in the Minsk region of western Russia (present-day Belarus) in 1893 to a Jewish tailor. He started drawing at a young age and was met with opposi- tion from his community for defying the Talmudic prohibi- tion of graven images. As a teenager, Soutine studied 22 MAY 27, 2021 at an academy in present-day Vilnius, Lithuania, which accepted Jews, and where he learned about Russian art and avant-garde movements. In 1913, he moved to Paris where he met other Jewish artists including Marc Chagall, Ossip Zadkine and Amedeo Modigliani. It wasn’t until 1922, when Albert Barnes, the founder of the Barnes Foundation, bought 52 paintings by Soutine for his Philadelphia collection that the artist’s career began to take off. Barnes was critical in bringing Soutine’s work to an American audience. De Kooning first saw Soutine’s work in New York art galleries, and was particularly struck by the older painter’s landmark 1950 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. The second room of the “Soutine / de Kooning” exhibi- tion is entirely devoted to paintings by Soutine that were included in the retrospective. “I wanted to emphasize how de Kooning would have seen these works and the kind of impact it would have had on him to see all those Soutines together,” Fraquelli said. The following room, centered around the theme “Between the Figurative and the Abstract,” highlights one specific influence that Soutine had on de Kooning. In the 1950s, de Kooning was searching for a way to work beyond the pure abstraction that was popular with New York artists at the time. He found inspiration in Soutine’s work, which straddled the line between the figurative and abstract, distorting the people and landscapes it depicted. The de Kooning artworks in this room, including his famous Woman paintings, also reflect this tension. While “Soutine / de Kooning” successfully draws out the parallels between the two artists, it also maintains their differences, which are most evident in the final room.

New York Image © Peter Willi / Bridgeman Images. Four of Soutine’s grotesque and dark paintings of animal carcasses hang on one wall, while three large, bright, abstract de Koonings make up the rest of the room. Throughout the show, Fraquelli made the decision to hang the artists’ paintings on opposite walls to avoid drawing overtly direct comparisons between them. “They were two artists from different periods who were painting in a different scale and a slightly different way,” she said. Ultimately, the paintings that Fraquelli and her co-cu- rator, Claire Bernardi, chief curator of paintings at Musée d’Orsay, chose uphold how extraordinary both artists were in their own rights, while still making Soutine’s influence on de Kooning undeniable. “Soutine / de Kooning: Conversations in Paint” is on view until Aug. 8. l JEWISH EXPONENT The Communicant (The Bride), c. 1924 Oil on canvas, 32⅛ × 18¾ in.

The Diller Digest: Meet Teen Fellow Jordan Rosh THOUGH SHE IS ONLY 17, Jordan Rosh has been on an ongoing journey of self-discovery. Deeply introspective and philosophical, the Central High School junior attributes her past year in the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Diller Teen Fellows program, a leadership experience for 10th and 11th grade students, as a major stepping stone in cultivating her Jewish identity. Along the way of this self-exploration, Rosh has also made a lot of new friends, both locally and globally. Rosh recommends the year-long program for all teens who are looking for engaging conversation and speakers, meaningful reflection, peer-to-peer social- izing, a family-like cohort of friends and more. “Being in Diller gives you an incredible community, leadership and commu- nication skills,” said Rosh, a 2020-2021 Diller Teen Fellow graduate. “The program gives you support and guidance in developing a project that has personal significance to you, the opportunity to meet people from Israel and to visit Israel, access to a network of Jewish leaders and communities, and really just a space to learn more about yourself and grow.” We spoke with Rosh to learn more about her and her experience with the Diller Teen Fellows. What do you want to be when you grow up? I’m not sure, but I want my career to revolve around supporting people in some way. What’s a fun fact or two about you? 1. I went as Vanellope von Schweetz for two Halloweens in a row. 2. I wrote a (terrible) song when I was 3-years-old called “Birdies in the Nest.” Everything we do in Diller, from just discussing our ideas and experi- ences with each other to developing our tikkun olam projects has taught me to acknowledge and explore my Jewish identity, and ultimately how to use my knowledge to do meaningful work. Applications for the 2021-2022 Diller Teen Fellows program are now open through June 25. To apply or to nominate a teen for this year’s cohort, visit jewishphilly. org/diller.

Why Philly Fellows Love Diller Teen Where did you begin your Jewish identity journey with Diller Teen Fellows, and where are you now? If you want to learn more about who you are Jewishly and non-Jewishly, if you want to make new friends from all different backgrounds and all different places, if you want to visit Israel, a home to so many, if you aspire to one day change the world, then Diller is for you. Coming into Diller, my identity had been primarily shaped by my experiences as an Asian Jew and by my perspective growing up in a family that emphasized Jewish culture and community rather than faith. Since then, I have grown a lot; hearing tons of unique perspectives, such as those featured in our cohort staff leader Darren Rabinowitz’s presentations, those of guest speakers, and especially those of my peers, has broadened and deepened my understanding of the larger context my own identity resides in. We spend a lot of time reflecting on both old and new knowl- edge, and through these reflections, I feel that the parts of my identity I already had have become much clearer, and as I incor- porate new knowledge into my identity, it has become much more multifaceted and cohesive. Max Goldman, 16 Through Diller, I have found a group of teens my age that I relate to. This has helped me learn so much about not just Judaism, but also things that go along with Judaism, like social justice, the environment and so much more. Diller Teen has definitely helped me learn, grow and connect with my Jewish identity. What is the most important thing you learned from the Diller Teen Fellows program? The most important thing I’ve learned through Diller is how to understand and use the power my Jewish experience holds. That’s a ridiculously broad and vague answer, but I think before Diller I didn’t really know how my Jewish identity played into my larger identity or how it could help me create change in the world.

The early chapters of the book of Bamidbar provide contradictory answers to this seemingly straightforward question. In Parshat Naso (4:3), Moses charges the Levites to serve from ages 30 to 50, yet in Parshat Beha’alotcha (8:24) he instructs them to begin at age 25. Which is correct? Drawing on textual cues, as well as the Talmud and midrash, Rashi (to 8:24) answers that while the Levites only started working when they were 30, at age 25 they began to prepare for their service by studying the Temple laws. Rashi’s solution is perplexing: Why were all Levites required to study the same content for five full years? After all, members of the tribe were assigned discrete tasks in the tabernacle: Some played instruments as the sacrifices were offered, another group stood guard at the front gates and yet others disassembled, carried and reassembled Sherman Continued from Page 16 and run hospitals? Before you jump to the “racist” slur, talk to the Black pastor of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, California, a leader in the black community, who was aghast at the thousands of bombs raining on Israeli civilians and who wrote this to me: “I am shocked and saddened. My community prays with you.” We at Sinai Temple stood with his community last June during the racial protests, and he is with us now.

If the majority of the “course content” was of no practical relevance to most Levites, why were they all required to dedicate five years to learning so much material? We can better understand Rashi’s reasoning by examining an analogous text that appears in “Ethics of the Fathers.” The Mishnah (5:21) teaches that a child begins studying Bible at age 5, Mishnah at 10 and Talmud at 15. A similar question begs itself: Isn’t this overly rigid? Why such a standardized curriculum? In his commentary to “Ethics of the Fathers,” Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the famed Maharal of Prague (1525-1609), explains that the Mishnah is not merely recommending develop- mentally appropriate ages for the study of different sections of Torah, but that each course of study serves as a foundation for the next. A student who does not know the Bible cannot properly comprehend the fundamentals of the oral law, and one who lacks a broad knowledge of the oral law cannot properly assess the reasoning and appli- cation of those laws to new scenarios, a central component of Talmud study, which is the most advanced of the three. And it is not just a question of a student’s ability to master increasingly complex subjects. Broad curricular exposure is also essential to a student’s sense of personal identity. The Bible and oral law provide her with a historical and concep- tual matrix in which she can locate herself. Only after being firmly anchored within these canonical texts can a student proceed to more specialized courses of study. In requiring all qualified Levites to study the same subject matter for a full five years, Rashi suggests a similar principle. To serve as a Levite, it is not enough for one to acquire knowledge of one’s own tasks in the Temple. The Levite must first achieve a comprehensive understanding of the various roles that Levites played, how the Levites’ roles interacted with one another and with that of the priests, and how the Levites helped to ensure the overall impact of the Tabernacle on God, the Jewish people, and humanity. Only from a position of deep immersion in the relevant traditions were the Levites prepared to accept the mantle of Temple service. This model of learning exists more broadly in the Western tradition. Greece and Rome offered a parallel model of educa- tion, best known as the trivium and quadrivium. The former consisted of grammar, rhetoric, and logic, and the latter of arith- metic, astronomy, music, and geometry. The trivium provided a conceptual foundation for the quadrivium, and students were expected to complete all seven courses of study before special- izing in a particular area, or moving on to study philosophy. This was the basis for the liberal arts curriculum that was widespread in the medieval period, and that remains an important model for many curricula to this day. These wide-ranging study programs recall the familiar maxim, “Hanokh la-na’ar al pi darko” (Proverbs 22:6). The common translation of this verse, “Educate a youngster according to his own path,” is a foundational principle of Jewish education today, and for good reason. Learning should be individualized, and must take place in a joyous environment suffused with warmth and individual attention. But the Levites’ educa- tional model urges us to go further. According to the overwhelming majority of classical commentators, the literal translation of the verse in Proverbs is not “according to his own path,” but “in the way that he should proceed.” Proverbs, like Bamidbar, reminds us that individualized instruction is necessary but not sufficient. It must be rooted in an abiding belief in the capacity of each child, a firm set of deeply-seated values, and the conviction that a broad- based education provides not just the intellectual founda- tion, but also a firm anchor for personal identity that so many of our young people are seeking elsewhere. By instructing each child in “the way that he should proceed,” we give our children the best opportunity to fulfill the conclusion of the verse in Proverbs: “Even in old age he will not swerve from it.” l year, and he has spoken about the importance of defending Israel, in my synagogue and in his church. I urge you to speak to pastors and other faith leaders outside of your community who understand the dangers facing Israel. Learn from their support of Israel, a support that is hardly “blind.” Finally, you conclude: “We need to look at the realities we have been denying, allow ourselves to feel the hurt, and build from there.” I completely agree — let us begin together with the reality that the state of Israel has not just the right, but the respon- sibility to defend its citizens. Let us also not deny the reality that the biggest enemies of the Palestinian people have been their corrupt, Jew-hating leaders, who use Israel as a scapegoat for their failures, endanger the lives of their own people and, in Gaza, build rockets and tunnels rather than schools. My aunt and uncle made aliyah in 1967. They were studying abroad in Jerusalem when the Six-Day War broke out. They witnessed the Torah scrolls reaching the Kotel for the first time in 2000 years and decided they would never leave. And today, on that Shavuot anniversary, we read of rabbin- ical students not willing to make that same commitment to the miraculous Jewish state. We live in the United States of America, a free country with a wide marketplace of ideas. When I returned from a recent trip to Israel where we met Israelis and Palestinians, I penned a column entitled, “It’s Complicated.” I came back with more questions than answers. I have never pretended that Israel is a perfect country. Just like the United States, it has plenty of flaws and serious and complicated problems and challenges. But “complicated” does not mean we cannot support Israel and her right to defend itself. If anything, it means we must support that very basic human right. Shivim panim latorah — there are 70 faces and different interpretations of the Torah. But there is only one Israel. Especially while its people are huddling in bomb shelters, we ought not abandon her. l JEWISH EXPONENT Rabbi Tzvi Sinensky is director of the Gur Aryeh Judaic Studies and Hebrew program at Main Line Classical Academy in Bryn Mawr.
