Judaism would have something
for my mental health,” Oshman
said. But then she read “Man’s
Search for Meaning” by Viktor
Frankl and “anything written
by Jonathan Sacks.” She also
googled the meanings of Jewish
holidays. In the process, Oshman
made an illuminating discovery.

“I had a Godly soul,” she said.

“It gave me a sense of connec-
tion to something much larger
than me.”
Slowly, she brought that sense
to her family. The Oshmans
began sitting down for Shabbat
dinners. One year into that tradition,
they started putting away their
iPhones. Later, Yair Oshman
invented “the compliment
game.” Everyone at the table had
to give every other person a
compliment. At first, the kids
couldn’t come up with anything
for each other. But a couple
months in, they started to
thank each other for help with
homework and other deeds.

Recently, Oshman’s son told
her that, “Now that I know what
saying something nice is, I see it
all the time. Compliments.”
Oshman said her grand-
mother would be proud. Before
the Holocaust, Kaiserman had
Shabbat dinner with her family
every Friday night in their
village. “The second generation
needed to survive,” Oshman
said of her parents and grand-
parents. “And the first, now we
need to say, ‘Who are we?’” l
grandparent she was closest
with, her maternal grandmother
Chana Kaiserman, painted a
vivid picture of her journey to
survival. Kaiserman jumped off a
train to Auschwitz and hid in
a pig barn in Poland. When the
Nazis stormed the place, she hid
behind farm equipment.

After they left, the farmer
found Kaiserman, but she
bribed him with a piece of gold
she had hidden in her mouth.

He let her stay in the barn until
she made her way to Germany
as the war ended.

There, in a refugee camp, she
met Oshman’s grandfather and
they moved to, as the author put
it, “Israel before there was a state
of Israel.” Kaiserman told her
granddaughter this story over
and over.

For Oshman’s grandparents,
Judaism was about commu-
nity and survival. But religious
traditions, like Shabbat dinner,
were nonbinding.

“There wasn’t a lot of warmth,
positivity and joy,” the author
said. “I thought we were supposed
to live in sadness and guilt.”
Oshman is 46 and, at 38,
she realized she needed some
warmth, positivity and joy.

She was a corporate executive,
the wife to her husband, Yair
Oshman, and a mother of four.

But her perfect life was built
on a shaky foundation. One
mistake at work or home could
make her feel broken, like she
was letting down her parents,
she said. Therapy and medica-
jsaffren@jewishexponent.com; tion weren’t helping much.

NE WSMAKERS
Jonathan Rosenbaum, president emeritus and professor emeritus
of Jewish studies at Gratz College, addressed a crowd of about
100 area residents at Ann’s Choice in Warminster on Oct. 27.

Rosenbaum was invited by the Jewish Residents’ Council of
Ann’s Choice and discussed “How America Changed Judaism.”
His topics ranged from the first congregation in America, which
opened in 1695, to the impact of World War II on transforming
Jews into public leaders.

About 50 area residents attended the Jewish National Fund-USA’s recent family food truck event at
Lemon Hill Playground. Since JNF-USA co-hosted the event with Moshava, an Israeli food truck,
“the flavors of shawarma and falafel filled the air.” At its first in-person gathering in two years,
JNF-USA got the chance to discuss its environmental and nation-building projects in Israel.

From left: Dahlia Silberg and Drew Rifkin settle in for a picnic
during food truck day at Lemon Hill Playground.
