It makes her feel like she’s invited into a holy space — a space that’s usually only shared with a rabbi. “People trust me with their secrets, with their feelings, with their loved one’s care,” said Siegel, a palliative care physician at Temple University Hospital, and a member of Adath Israel of the Main Line. “It really does give me balance and fi ll my soul.” In the last few months, Siegel’s work has taken on a new element. Because the COVID-19 pandemic has put dangerously ill patients in isolation for months at a time, their families unable to enter the hospital, doctors like Siegel are fi nding See Palliative, Page 14 Joe Biden supporters celebrate outside of City Hall on Nov. 7.

For P h i l a d e l p h i a’s Unst r uc t u red Sy nagog ue Havurah, the answer is simple. “The one word that it can be boiled to is acceptance. We accept one another. For all the mishegas that individuals have, we accept each other,” said Rabbi Steve Stroiman, the group’s facilitator. On Nov. 4, 10 members convened on Zoom to commemorate the group’s 50th anniversary and reflect on the role it has played in their lives. The group, which has no dues, no building, no officers Name: Elana Collection Width: 3.625 in Depth: 5.5 in Color: Black plus one Comment: JE - Frequent Flyer Ad Number: 00091792 and no rabbi, consists of members from across the Philadelphia area. Its overall religious affiliation is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, between Reform and Orthodox, with a Reconstructionist influ- ence. Meetings take place two or three times a month and consist of services and discussions. The venture started with 24 individuals in six core families. They met in each other’s houses to pray, study and socialize, going on camping trips and holding holiday services together. They took walking tours of Jewish Philadelphia and visited Jewish sites in New York and Washington, D.C. “We are not a davening group, per se. Yes, we do have services, but they are part of the whole Members of the Unstructured Synagogue Havurah meet for their 50th anniversary. picture, and the whole picture consists of study, worship and celebration,” said Stroiman, who joined when he was a young rabbinical student two months after the initial founding. The unstructured nature of the gatherings appealed to those who wanted an alterna- tive to congregational Judaism and those who wanted to supplement their traditional synagogue experiences. “I don’t flourish in congre- gational Judaism for a couple of different reasons,” said member Marvin Kreithen, who joined the group with his wife Leslie Kreithen 10 years ago. “First of all, synagogue is a monologue. The rabbi gets up there and talks. What I like about the Havurah is it’s a dialogue: everybody you’re looking at has their own opinion on things, and it’s good to share all that.” Leslie Kreithen was drawn to the opportunities for study and intimate discussions. “Even though we belong to a synagogue, the holidays that we celebrated together were on a more personal level, talking about our own life experiences, thinking about what the years have been, remembering people on Yom Kippur who have died,” she said. Member Marian Cohen joined the chavurah five years after it was founded. She appre- ciated the group’s creative approach to Judaism. “We had the freedom to express ourselves in individual ways,” she said. “Sometimes we agreed with each other, sometimes we didn’t, but overall it was a positive learning experience and we became sort of a family.” Cohen and her children especially loved the chavurah’s holiday celebrations, which often involved art projects, skits, poems and games. “One of the things I will always remember, and so will my children, is we all pitched in and made flying menorahs out of straws, candles and plastic bags from the dry cleaners. We did it outside, we were very careful, and if we did it right they went up in the air, and it was absolutely incredible,” she said. Photo by Sophie Panzer This year, activities have ranged from personal reflec- tions during the High Holidays to a talk from the Jewish Genealogical and Archival Society of Greater Philadelphia to a presentation about the Mussar movement. Stroiman said the group kept its size deliberately small in order to comfortably fit in people’s living rooms. Over the years, moves and deaths have chipped away at the original number, and the group now has about 14 members. During the coronavirus pandemic, Zoom has allowed members’ homes to continue to be the main site of the chavu- rah’s activities, albeit virtually. It was challenging for the members, whose average age hovers around 80, to learn the new technology. At 75, Stroiman is among the younger members, but he still had to get out of his comfort zone to moderate the Zoom sessions and find materials for group discussions online. However, they ultimately adapted.

JEWISHEXPONENT.COM JEWISH EXPONENT NOVEMBER 12, 2020 5 H eadlines 1960s Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer Len Barry Dies at 78 OB ITUARY ANDY GOTLIEB | JE MANAGING EDITOR SINGER LEN BARRY, the voice behind The Dovells’ hits “You Can’t Sit Down” and “The Bristol Stomp” and solo hits such as “1-2-3,” died Nov. 5 from bone marrow cancer. He was 78. “He was just an American original,” son Spencer Borisoff said. “He was a pioneer. He was thinking a generation ahead of everyone.” Born Leonard Borisoff, Barry grew up in West Philadelphia and attended Overbook High School, where he became a part of a doo-wop group called The Brooktones in 1957. By 1960, the band changed its name to The Dovells and was signed by Parkway Records. A year later, The Dovells reached the #2 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with “Bristol Stomp,” selling more than a million copies. The tune received a Recording Industry Association of America gold disc. In 1962, The Dovells placed three more songs in the top 40 and had their second-biggest hit a year later with the South Street-referencing “You Can’t Sit Down,” which reached #3. Several artists have subse- quently covered the song, include Bruce Springsteen, who has used it in his encores. During this time period, The Dovells toured with James Brown and appeared in films including “Don’t Knock the Twist.” Barry then left The Dovells for a solo career, his biggest success coming in 1965 with the #2 hit “1-2-3” — denied the top spot by The Supremes’ “I Hear a Symphony” — which was awarded a gold disc. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for Contemporary Rock & Roll Male Vocal Performance for the song, which he co-wrote, and made appearances on “Bandstand,” “Shindig” and “Hullabaloo.” Two more top 40 hits followed in 1966, but his chart success waned after that. Still, he performed regularly, including at prestigious venues like the Apollo Theatre in New York, the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C., and The Fox Theatre in Detroit. He toured the United Kingdom as well. Later, he wrote and produced the 1969 instrumental #16 hit “Keem-O-Sabe” by Electric Indian, which featured a young Daryl Hall (of Hall & Oates fame) on keyboards, and co-wrote “Zoom,” the 1982 UK #2 hit for Fat Larry’s Band, and “Love Town,” a #6 hit in the UK in 1983 for Booker Newberry III. When Hall & Oates was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, Hall gave a shout-out to Barry in his induction speech. Even after the hits faded, Barry continued to record and He didn’t want to rest on past accomplishments. He really considered himself a record maker more than an entertainer.” SPENCER BORISOFF A simpler, more convenient lifestyle awaits at Dunwoody Village in one of our newly renovated One-Bedroom or Junior apartments.

Even as music styles changed, Barry remained a fan of all kinds of modern music. Borisoff noted that his father wasn’t one to reminisce and didn’t like working the oldies circuit. “He didn’t want to rest on past accomplishments,” Borisoff said. “He really considered himself a record maker more than an entertainer.” Borisoff did recall a few anecdotes. At the height of his father’s career, during a tour of the UK, Barry did a command perfor- mance for Queen Elizabeth II. “She literally was the only one in the theater,” he said. And Barry used to fondly recall a 1960s bus tour with James Brown and other Black acts where they’d play a card game called tonk for hours. Original band member Jerry Gross, who still performs with The Dovells, paid tribute to Barry on the group’s Facebook page. “We lost one of our original members of the group The DOVELLS. Our lead singer from 1960 thru 1963— Len Barry — has gone on to Rock ‘n’ Roll heaven,” he wrote. “In these trying times that we’re living in, with the politics and the virus, and now one more sad moment.” In his Facebook post, Gross noted that Barry reunited with the group twice in 1994. In 2008, Barry published the novel “Black-Like-Me,” which told the tale of white siblings growing up in a mostly Black neighborhood. Barry is survived by his son, Spencer (Helicia), and daughter Bia (Bob); and two grandchildren. l agotlieb@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0797 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines NEWSBRIEFS JFNA President Says No Known Issues with Jewish Voters or Polling Places NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED for Jewish voters on Election Day, according to Jewish Federations of North America President and CEO Eric Fingerhut, JNS.org reported. “We are always concerned about extremists who would take advantage of these kinds of transition and thanks to the Secure Community Network and our own crisis expertise, we have helped our communities across the country remain prepared, but we have not heard of any specific threats,” he said. Prior the election, SCN sent information to Jewish organiza- tions and communities to prepare for possible issues, although no specific threats were cited. Greek Newspaper Publisher Convicted, Fined for Defaming Jewish Community Leader A Greek court convicted a newspaper publisher of defamation and hate speech because of an op-ed calling a Jewish community leader a thief, JTA reported. The Athens Court of Justice of First Instance imposed a $2,200 fine on Stefanos Chios, the publisher of the Makeleio newspaper, according to the central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece. “A crude Jew who runs a loan-shark firm has bought the debts of poor Greeks. The President of the Jewish Community who pretends to be our friend, is stealing our money through the back door,” Chios wrote in 2017 about Minos Moissis, a prior president of the Jewish Community of Athens. Along with defaming Moissis, the paper “contributed deliber- ately to the reproduction of a rhetoric of hate against the Greek Jewry,” the court said. Moissis filed a lawsuit against Chios in 2017. He is the co-founder of the SYNERGON Partners banking and finance firm. Florida Principal Who Denied Holocaust Fired Again Weeks after the Palm Beach County School Board voted to rehire a principal who told a parent he “can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event,” the board reversed its decision, JTA reported. The board fired William Latson in 2019, after comments from the previous year came to light. In turn, Latson sued, claiming wrongful termination. A judge then concluded that Latson should have been reprimanded instead of fired. The school board voted to rehire Latson instead of facing a potentially lengthy and expensive legal battle. But the board voted unanimously on Nov. 2 to fire Latson again, with members concluding that the district’s values were more important than the risk of litigation, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Sacks, 72 died Nov. 7, his Twitter account announced. He was in the midst of a third bout of cancer, which he had to mixing religion and politics, something he discussed, along with his latest book, “Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times,” and an array of other hot-button topics with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in August. “When anger erupts in a body politic, there is quite often a justified cause. But then the political domain has got to take that anger and deal with it very fast,” he said then. “Because anger exposes the problem but never delivers the solution.” He was a towering intellect whose eloquence, insights and kindness reached well beyond the Jewish community.” KEIR STARMER announced in October. Sacks was among the world’s leading exponents of Orthodox Judaism for a global audience. In his 22 years as chief rabbi, he emerged as the most visible Jewish leader in the United Kingdom and one of the European continent’s leading Jewish voices, offering Jewish wisdom to the masses through a regular segment he produced for the BBC. He had a close relation- ship with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who called Sacks “an intellectual giant” and presented him with a lifetime achievement award in 2018. Sacks was also an immensely prolific author, addressing pressing social and political issues in a succession of well received books. His popular commentary on the prayer book, published by Koren, helped to dethrone the more traditionalist Artscroll Siddur as the preeminent prayer book in American Modern Orthodox synagogues. Sacks was normally averse 8 NOVEMBER 12, 2020 Jonathan Sacks seen as the chief rabbi of the United Kingdom, circa 2000. But he did take public stances on two topics that were often ensnared with European politics: Israel and anti-Semitism. Sacks spoke out publicly as Britain’s Labour Party was engulfed in an anti-Semitism scandal under its previous leader Jeremy Corbyn, calling Corbyn an anti-Semite. “We have an anti-Semite as the leader of the Labour Party and her majesty’s opposition. That is why Jews feel so threat- ened by Mr. Corbyn and those who support him,” Sacks said in 2018 during an interview with the New Statesman. That judgment paved the way for the current British Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis to harshly condemn the Labour Party, a precedent-setting event in British Jewish life. Corbyn was replaced in April by centrist Keir Starmer, who has apologized for how anti-Semitism was allowed to flourish in Labour’s ranks under Corbyn. Starmer, who is married to a Jewish woman, expressed his condolences to “the entire Jewish world” in a tweet on Saturday. “He was a towering intellect whose eloquence, insights and kindness reached well beyond the Jewish community. I have no doubt that his legacy will live on for many generations,” Starmer wrote. Sacks was also vocal in his opposition to the forces that lead to anti-Semitism on the far left and the far right, as he wrote in a JTA op-ed in January. “Anti-Semitism has little to do with Jews — they are its object, not its cause — and everything to do with dysfunc- tion in the communities that harbor it,” he wrote. In 2017, in a widely circu- lated YouTube video, Sacks called anti-Zionism a new form of anti-Semitism, arguing that it denies Jews the “right to exist collectively with the same rights as everyone else.” The video was based on a 2016 speech Sacks delivered in Brussels, which is widely seen JEWISH EXPONENT as having paved the way to Britain’s adoption later that year of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s defini- tion of anti-Semitism. But the video went far beyond political and academic circles, and became symbolic of Sacks’ ability to reach mainstream audiences. Rachel Riley, a famous British Jewish game show television host, last year shared the video, telling her over 600,000 Twitter followers that it is “the best explanation of antisemitism I’ve seen.” Sacks branched out beyond religious and Jewish cultural thought as well. In 2017 he delivered a TED Talk about “facing the future without fear” and what he called a “fateful moment” in Western history after the election of Donald Trump as president, citing Thomas Paine and anthropol- ogists to make an argument about returning a culture of togetherness. Born in London in 1948, Sacks studied at Cambridge John Downing/Getty Images via JTA University. While a student there in the ’60s, he visited Rabbi Menachem Schneerson — the spiritual leader who is credited with turning the Chasidic Chabad-Lubavitch movement into a powerful organizing force of Jewry around the world — in New York City. Sacks credits that meeting with inspiring him to get involved with Jewish studies, as he detailed in a series of videos for Chabad.org in 2011. He became the rabbi of the Golders Green synagogue in London’s most Orthodox neigh- borhood in the late ’70s and then rabbi of the Marble Arch synagogue in central London. The U.K. Board of Deputies of British Jews President Marie van der Zyl released a state- ment on Nov. 7. “Rabbi Sacks was a giant of both the Jewish commu- nity and wider society. His astounding intellect and courageous moral voice were a blessing to all who encountered him in person, in writing or in broadcast,” van der Zyl said. l JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H EADLINES Theater Mainstay Dolly Beechman Schnall Dies at 96 work, she directed local productions, coached acting independently and taught theater at Rutgers University-Camden and Penn State Abington.

By Nov. 5, residents had returned to the site, using tents Palestinian aid groups donated. Both the European Union and the United Nations condemned the action, The Times of Israel reported. “The EU reiterates its call on Israel to halt all such demoli- tions, including of EU-funded structures, in particular in light of the humanitarian impact of the current coronavirus pandemic,” a spokesperson said.

There were 937,500 people out of work, which is 170,000 more than in the second half of September. Broad unemployment includes those 15 and older who didn’t work at all in the week prior to the survey who are looking for work, workers 15 and older who are on unpaid leave and those who have lost their jobs since March but weren’t looking for work in the four weeks before the survey. Workers on unpaid leave comprised the majority of the unemployed, numbering 627,000.

I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.” Biden also received congrat- ulations from Jewish groups, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest pro-Israel lobby in Washington, D.C. “AIPAC congratulates President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on their election victory,” the AIPAC statement read. “Despite the current profound political polarization, there remains a resolute bipartisan commitment to the U.S.-Israel alliance as both presidential tickets took strong pro-Israel positions.” The Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee were among the other Jewish groups who off ered congratulations to the Democratic ticket. Biden has a reputation for being a friend to Israel, and has spoken frequently of his relationships with Israel’s leaders of decades past, as well as with Netanyahu. When he won the Democratic nomina- tion earlier this year, it was seen as a victory for the tradi- tionally pro-Israel camp within the Democratic Party over elements of the party that are more critical of Israel. Via Twitter AIPAC, Netanyahu Congratulate Biden on Win But he will be succeeding a president popular with most Israelis and their center-right coalition government. Trump’s policies unabashedly favored Israel’s government throughout his administration, and he consistently received high approval ratings from Israelis, an outlier among international opinion polls on Trump’s performance. He was partic- ularly close with Netanyahu, who featured Trump in his own reelection campaigns this year and last. Trump likewise touted his Middle East policies on the campaign trail, including moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognizing disputed Israeli territorial claims, withdrawing from the Iran nuclear agree- ment and, in recent months, brokering diplomatic agree- ments between Israel and three Arab nations. Neta nya hu, whose background photo on his Twitter account features him and Trump, followed up his congratulations to Biden with a tweet thanking Trump for his actions. “Thank you @realDon- aldTrump for the friendship you have shown the state of Israel and me personally, for recognizing Jerusalem and the Golan, for standing up to Iran, for the historic peace accords and for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights,” he wrote.

It’s Complicated. NATIONAL GABRIEL GRESCHLER | J. THE JEWISH NEWS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HOW DID JEWS VOTE this year? It depends on which pollster you ask, apparently. Exit polls from this week’s presidential election show that a large majority of Jews voted Democratic, as they have done in the past, choosing Joe Biden over Donald Trump by a wide margin. But results also indicated that more Jews — as many as 250,000 nationwide — voted for Trump than they did four years ago. However, the exact break- down of Jewish votes has stirred disagreement. An exit poll of 800 people released by J Street, a liberal Jewish Middle East advocacy group, showed Jews supporting Biden at 77% versus 21% for Trump. The Republican Jewish Coalition released its own exit poll showing numbers that were more favorable for their candi- date. Of 600 people polled, Jews supported Biden 60.6% vs. 30.5% for Trump, with 8.8% either voting third party or declining for Biden at 68% and Trump at 30%. Arielle Levites, a social scientist who works at George Washington University, attributed the discrepancy to each poll capturing a different population of Jews. “A very obvious reason why these polls may have produced different results is that they screen-in respondents using different criteria,” Levites said. For example, if a poll includes Jews who describe themselves as “culturally Jewish,” then the data will skew left. That’s because nonreligious or religiously unaffiliated people are much more likely to vote Democrat. Levites noted that the J Street exit poll used the same methods as the Pew Research Center’s 2013 “A Portrait of Jewish Americans” study, with its more expansive definition of who is a Jew. That’s the major reason, she said, why the data for J Street’s exit poll may show more support for Biden. RJC’s results didn’t include great detail about method- ology; the individuals surveyed “describe themselves as A very obvious reason why these polls may have produced different results is that they screen-in respondents using different criteria.” narrower range of Jewish voters, thus showing different results. Is it possible to tell which one is most accurate? Ken Goldstein, a politics professor and polling expert at the University of San Francisco, agrees that polling methods that include explicit parameters about who is a Jew will certainly result in different outcomes. But Goldstein, who has worked decision desks on election night for the last two decades, does believe that the AP survey, which is not party-affili- ated and shows an approximately 70-30 Biden-Trump split among Jewish voters, may be closest to the mark. “From data I’ve seen over the course of the year, my sense is that the answer is closer to that AP VoteCast,” Goldstein said. If that is the case, then Trump expanded his base of Jewish voters from four years ago by roughly 5%. One other data point that supports this theory is the overall shift among minority voters, who moved slightly toward Trump, said retired professor of Jewish communal studies Steven Windmueller of Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles. “Whether we would insert Jews into that consideration, it depends on how we define ourselves,” Windmueller said. He was surprised by how many Jews voted for Trump in this election, especially because he anticipated a defec- tion of “Never Trump” Jewish Republicans. “But now as you look at some of the data from these surveys,” Windmueller said, “it appears he’s picked up some additional support in the Jewish commu- nity. The first question is, what happened to these ‘Never Trump’ Republican Jews?” He speculated that another group of Jewish voters might have replaced them. “Democrats? Independents? New voters? Or a growing number of Orthodox voters?” he asked. The growth in numbers of Jews voting Republican was discussed at a Nov. 4 RJC press conference to provide its poll findings. Media consultant Ari Fleischer, who served as White House press secretary under George W. Bush, said the “conclusion” suggested by these numbers is that “it’s not just the embassy that moved. Jewish voters have moved, too. And they’re moving Republican.” He was referring, of course, to this administration’s decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which was very popular among Jews in this country and in Israel. The Jewish vote for Trump also was historically high in Florida, where both the RJC poll and a New York Times/AP exit poll showed 41% voting Republican. That validated the RJC’s outreach efforts in Florida, said RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks. The group spent half of its $10 million national budget in the state, and Florida’s Jews helped win it for Trump, he asserted. “Going into this election, we said there are three big states for us,” he said. “Florida, Florida and Florida.” l This article first appeared in J.

The difference does matter: A 10% variance in the Jewish vote represents more than 500,000 voters, according to estimates from the Associated Press.

JEWISH EXPONENT NOVEMBER 12, 2020 13 H eadlines Palliative Continued from Page 1 themselves acting as friend, confidante and family surro- gate for their patients, cut off from the people who would normally fill those roles. Though those who provide palliative care always tend to the emotional and psychosocial needs of their patients, hospital- ized patients have come to lean much more heavily on their doctors and nurses for those purposes in the last eight months. “In normal times, we’re here to support the patient and the family. We organize family meetings where the whole family can come in, and we can go over options, and we facili- tate discussions,” Siegel said. “And now with COVID, in the isolation, it feels like we’re providing much more hands- on, bedside care for the patient, because we’re their only link to the outside often.” Distinct from hospice care, palliative care is intended to optimize the quality of life for those living with life-threatening illnesses. Beyond providing the medical care needed to ensure such a thing, palliative care teams coordinate with a patient’s other doctors, and provide emotional support to patients 14 NOVEMBER 12, 2020 and their families. Those teams frequently include social workers, therapists, chaplains and nutritionists, and that care can be provided to patients at home or at the hospital. For Larry Kramer, 79, of Center City, being a patient of Siegel’s this past fall meant more than COVID-specific treatment. It meant having an advocate, Kramer said, an asset that he tried to provide himself back in his days as a physician. It meant that he had someone to call his wife and daughter to provide updates on his condi- tion, and it also meant a steady stream of Twizzlers and Swedish Fish whenever Siegel came to check on him. In low moments, individually wrapped candies can add up to more than the sum of their parts. “She was almost like clergy, a nurse, a social worker,” Kramer said. “And I was happy that she came and saw me.” Palliative care doctors, Siegel said, are “trained experts in communication,” which has been a boon to their work during the pandemic. Providing emotional support and acting as a go-between for patients and their families comes naturally. Eric Goodlev, a palliative care physician at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, Greg Garber is the director of patient support services at Jefferson Health. Courtesy of Jefferson Health Dr. Mari Siegel said that her work as a palliative care doctor gives her access to holy space.  Courtesy of Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University In normal times, we’re here to support the patient and the family. We organize family meetings where the whole family can come in, and we can go over options, and we facilitate discussions.” DR. MARI SIEGEL was drawn to the field in part because of the work of his wife, Lauren Goodlev, the cantor at Beth David Reform Congregation. Inspired by the meaning and sense of purpose that she drew from her work, Goodlev decided to switch from life as an academic hospi- talist to his current profession. Now, it’s the work to which he feels called. A mentor of his has described palliative care as “medical care as a ministry.” Though Goodlev doesn’t quite sign on to that description, he feels strongly that the work he does is an expression of his own Judaism. In the past eight months, his patients have come to depend on his humanity as much as they have his skill. At Jefferson Health, Greg Garber, director of patient support services, and Brooke Worster, medical director for supportive medicine and cancer survivorship, are JEWISH EXPONENT adjusting to discussing life and death matters with their patients’ family members over the phone, right as they’re trying to help their patients adjust to it, too. They’re also trying to make sure that inequalities in the distribution of palliative care aren’t exacerbated even further — not every patient or their family has access to the technology needed for virtual care, for example. Worster hopes that this period has underlined the necessity of palliative care for hospitals across the country. “This is a needed resource, and we need to look at the ways in which we can financially make it either reimbursable or sustainable for all patients to have access to it,” Worster said. The changes are not so drastic for everyone in pallia- tive care. At Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania, Dr. Miriam Stewart works with the pediatric advanced care team, providing palliative care to children. For one thing, the incidence of COVID cases among her patient population is much lower. But Stewart and her team have needed to get creative when it comes to meeting parents, as they are not able to come into the hospital as often as they were prior to the pandemic. Like everyone, they’ve come to embrace and rely upon telehealth in ways they never foresaw. “They’re able to remain in the comfort of their home, and we’re actually able to see them in their homes in the setting where they live, which in many cases really helped us take even better care of them,” Stewart said. l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM F TAY-SACHS R F R E E E E H eadlines Election Continued from Page 1 did to elect Biden and Kamala Harris, and the events of the past week. Dan Siegel, Pennsylvania Jewish outreach director, Biden for President Since Siegel joined the Biden campaign over the summer, his job has consisted primarily of conversations. It’s a common misconception, he said, that successful campaigns are built on telling people how to vote. What he and his team have found effective is the simple act of talking to people about what they care about. In the case of Jewish voters that Siegel and the campaign tried to reach in Pennsylvania, what they cared about was Israel, anti-Semitism and Jewish values. Bringing those people together via Zoom meant letting people talk to one another about what issues felt most pressing as the election approached. “It was designed to have people express themselves Jewishly, and as Americans,” Siegel said. On the morning that his work paid off, Siegel popped champagne bottles with his South Philadelphia neighbors before walking toward City Hall to take it all in. The shared feeling of the crowd, he said, was relief. Hailie Soifer, executive director, Jewish Democratic Council of America If you’re a Jewish Democrat in Pennsylvania, it’s likely that Soifer and the Jewish Democratic Council of America called or texted you in the last few months. And even if you somehow escaped that, then you probably saw one of their digital ads. That’s what happens when you make 150,000 calls and texts and spend about $150,000 in a single state, as the JDCA did this year.

JDCA partnered with groups like Democratic Jewish Outreach Pennsylvania to ensure that Democrats would not lose the state and the election by the same agonizingly slim margin that they did in 2016. For Soifer, Biden’s victory was a chance to take her children down to the major celebrations in downtown D.C. The joy, the jubilation and flag-waving wasn’t just novel for them, but for their mother, too. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” Soifer said.

Erudite, person- able, a prolific writer, a beloved teacher and a public intellec- tual, Sacks moved comfortably in the Jewish community and in the larger world. He began his career as a congregational rabbi in London, served as Britain’s chief rabbi, and then devoted the remainder of his public life as a scholar, teacher and public speaker. He passed away last Shabbat, at age 72. American Jews became familiar with Sacks through his writings, frequent speaking appearances, and through his teaching at Yeshiva University and New York University, where he held endowed chairs. In Britain, he held the post of chief rabbi from 1991 to 2013. Queen Elizabeth made him a lifetime peer in 2009. And he shared his views on Jewish values in a regular column in The Times newspaper and in his popular Thought for the Day on BBC Radio. Sacks authored 25 books. His most recent, “Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times,” was published in September. “He was an outspoken advocate of religious and social toler- ance throughout his career,” the Times of Israel wrote. “He was also an advocate for the compatibility of science and religion, which some people see as mutually exclusive.” Throughout his career, Sacks was recognized as a gifted orator, who was careful not to mix religion and politics. But in a 2017 TED Talk about “facing the future without fear” and what he called a “fateful moment” in Western history, he gained even more of a following for what was understood to be concern expressed after the election of Donald Trump as the U.S. president. In September of this year, when some haredi rabbis published endorsements in the U.S. presidential race, Sacks was critical, and called the blurring of the line between politics and Judaism, “a big, big, big mistake. You mix religion and politics, you get terrible politics and even worse religion,” he said. Yet he did take very public stances on Israel and anti-Semitism. “We have an anti-Semite as the leader of the Labour Party and her majes- ty’s opposition,” Sacks said in 2018 during an interview with the New Statesman. “That is why Jews feel so threatened by Mr. Corbyn and those who support him.” And in a You Tube video in 2017, Sacks called anti-Zionism a new form of anti-Semitism, and an effort to deny Jews the “right to exist collectively with the same rights as everyone else.” Those and similar comments were well publicized because of his popularity and reach to mainstream audiences. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said Sacks “bravely faced difficult questions and always found the right words to illuminate the Torah and explain its paths. We will always remember his warnings against violence in the name of God, and his belief that we have the power to heal a fractured world.” May his memory be for a blessing. l our respective homes — he was from Philadelphia, and I am a lifelong Baltimorean — but feeling very much at home in Jerusalem. My involvement in Israel Bonds leadership steadily grew, as I applied the lessons I had learned from Sam, Alice Peerce and so many other of the greats I had been studying. It was a time when, despite significant progress, women were still locked out of oppor- tunities and barred from leadership roles across the board, whether implicitly or explicitly. I was determined to change that. Together with countless other women in sectors across society — business, education, politics, you name it — I began asserting myself more, not waiting for opportunities to be handed to me but seizing them when they arose. This is how I became the first woman national chair of Israel Bonds in the late 1990s, responsible for driving outreach and support for Israel Bonds. It was a mission that I took with the utmost seriousness. Together with my friends and colleagues in the Bonds organization, we found new and exciting ways to get the word out and bring supporters in. This included holding a Bonds event in Palm Beach, Florida, where the iconic Shimon Peres spoke — his first-ever appear- ance there — as well as an event honoring the Holocaust survivors of Schindler’s List that featured Steven Spielberg and Elie Wiesel. Between these and countless other initiatives, we found success in reaching investors while I personally had the opportunity to become close with the greats that I have spent my life emulating. Perhaps nowhere was this more meaningful to me than when I found myself, some years ago, having tea at former Prime Minister Golda Meir’s house in Israel. Retired from public office, Meir hosted several of us at her home, where Mid-Atlantic Media’s editorial board is composed of media owners and journalists from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Philadelphia. Lifelong Lessons for Israel’s Future BY SUSAN WEIKERS FOR ME, involvement with the state of Israel was prenatal. Even before I was born, right around the time of Israel’s founding, my family was involved in raising funds and support for the Jewish state in its infancy. My father — who left Germany, but whose family lost many in the Holocaust — purchased some of the earliest Israel bonds, deter- mined that our family should do its part in helping to protect and preserve the homeland that so many had fought for. It is a calling that I have carried with me my entire life. Growing up, all of the adults 16 NOVEMBER 12, 2020 around me were involved in the cause, and I remember distinctly hearing from them about “the greats” — people like Prime Ministers David Ben-Gurion and Menachem Begin — who were instrumental in Israel’s history from its earliest and most turbulent years. The Israel Bonds leaders who I met knew the greats firsthand, and through their stories, I felt like I knew them, too. I always felt that I was in the right place at the right time. Hearing their thoughts and learning about their experi- ences imbued me from an early age with the desire to have just as great an impact through my own involvement. I got my start early. After becoming involved with Development Corporation for Israel/Israel Bonds — the organization that generates investment in the Jewish state — I can remember early rallies and events, where speakers would go around the room “card-calling” to get attendees to announce investments in bonds. There I saw that it is not enough to merely show your own support for Israel, it is also critical to take the lead in encouraging others to support Israel as well. It was around this time that I met Sam Rothberg, legendary businessman and philanthropist, and one of the greats in his own right. Sam and other leaders took me under their wing, mentoring me in politics, leadership and the difficult but essential work of generating support for and investment in the Jewish state. For a woman in her twenties, it was the opportunity of a lifetime to benefit from their knowledge and experience, and to be guided by their kind spirit. One day, I thought, I can pass this same wisdom on to the next generation. I can be someone else’s Sam Rothberg. Over the years since then, I have been to Israel more than 100 times. I met my husband there, through Israel Bonds, thousands of miles away from JEWISH EXPONENT See Weikers, Page 17 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM O PINION KVETCH ’N’ KVELL So, What Do We Do Now? BY RABBI WENDY PEIN AFTER THIS LATEST electoral cycle, there is much concern that the political process has resulted in signifi cant antagonism and even hatred being expressed between opposing sides. Jewish wisdom has much to say on this topic and provides clear guidance in such circum- stances that we would do well to consider. In a straight-forward directive, the Torah commands us, “You shall not hate your kinsfolk in your heart” (Lev. 19:17). Lest we think that the commandment refers to only specifi c acts of hate, our sages have made sure to elaborate that this verse applies both to observable actions of hate, and our internal emotions. The sages taught that, “in your heart,” (Lev. 19:17) meant that we should eradi- cate feelings of hatred for our brother, our neighbor, our friend as such feelings may lead to hateful actions (B. Talmud Arakhin 16b). Instead, we are taught to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). Recent studies show that the number of households who would be upset if their child chose a partner from a diff erent political party has risen in recent years. Th is is an opportune time to recall the ancient disagreements between the House of Hillel and the House of Shammai, two Jewish Weikers Continued from Page 16 we ate, drank tea, listened to her stories and learned lessons from her storied life. It was a moment I will not forget, and one that crystallized to me just how important the work of supporting and defending the Jewish state is through my involvement with Israel Bonds. Now, Bonds is turning 70. On the organization’s 70th anniversary — which dates JEWISHEXPONENT.COM schools of thought who oft en held fi ercely opposing views on Jewish legal matters. Th e Talmud teaches us that no matter how factious their disagreements, the two Houses did not refrain from their children marrying from among each other’s commu- nities (B. Talmud Yebamot 14a-b). Instead, they continued to practice love and aff ection for one another. near his brother.” (Genesis 33: 1 -3). Jacob found the strength and courage to reconcile with Esau because he had removed any hatred of Esau from his heart. For the Torah states that despite their former animosity, Jacob recognizes Esau as “his brother.” When Jacob does so, the brothers embrace and recon- cile. What an instructive model for us as we seek to strengthen our relationships with those Our sages teach us that “hatred of others shortens a person’s life.” (Avot 2:11) and that such hatred is demonstrated by loving one group and hating another (Avot d’Rabbi Natan 16). Whereas stories in the Torah demonstrate that simmering hatred leads to destructive behavior, such as Cain rising up against Abel, Esau’s fury at Jacob, and Korah’s jealousy of Moses, it also provides an example of two brothers who overcome their enmity for each other and reconcile. Aft er Jacob steals Esau’s birthright, the two brothers live physically and emotionally separate lives for over 14 years. Eventually, Jacob decides to return to Canaan with his household. When Jacob saw Esau coming and his army approaching, he did not reject him and turn his back, but instead “He ... bowed low to the ground seven times until he was whom we have disagreed during this election time. Our sages teach us that “hatred of others shortens a person’s life.” (Avot 2:11) and that such hatred is demonstrated by loving one group and hating another (Avot d’Rabbi Natan 16). Instead, we are commanded to love both groups, all of humanity. Th is begins by recog- nizing one another as kin, friends and neighbors, irrespec- tive of our positions on issues or how we voted. ● back to its original founding conference in September 1950 — it has succeeded in helping to build up the Jewish state to the technological and economic juggernaut that it is today, but the work is far from fi nished. When I look at young people today, who are confronting a number of daunting challenges — not least of which is the pandemic ravaging both the U.S. and Israel — I see in them the same potential and capacity to make the change that Sam Rothberg saw in me all those years ago. Young people do not know a world without the state of Israel, and it is up to all of us to continue to strengthen and support Israel, and refl ect on how important our continued support and involvement is for future generations. ● Rabbi Wendy Pein is the director of Congregational learning at Temple Israel of Northern Westchester in Croton-on-the Hudson, New York.

JEWISH EXPONENT Anti-Semitism an Outdated Term I SUSPECT THAT these fi ndings (“AJC Study Shows Lack of Awareness of Anti-Semitism by Non-Jews,” Nov. 5) are because the word is antique and meaningless to many people. Th ey are now more attuned to “racist” and “phobia.” If the words were “Racist Judaiphobia” or just “Judaiphobia,” it might make more sense to them. It is a small change, but may be worth a try. Dave Olim | Ambler Iran Deal Mischaracterized How unfortunate that the chair of Democratic Jewish Outreach Pennsylvania in her op-ed (Joe Biden: For Decency, For Democracy, For America,” Oct. 29) fails to demonstrate an understanding of the Iran nuclear deal of 2015. She notes that, “Biden has stated unequivocally that Iran should never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons ... Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal, and now Iran is closer to achieving nuclear weapons capability.” What is not mentioned is that the Iran nuclear deal of the Obama-Biden administration did not ensure that Iran would never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. By the terms of the deal itself, Iran would be limited to using pathways to a nuclear weapon for only 10-15 years from the date of the agreement in 2015. Five years have already passed since the start of the nuclear deal. Our president correctly understood that the Iran nuclear deal would allow the development of nuclear weapons by Iran in a very short time in the life of nations and, therefore, correctly ended this very “bad deal.” Let us hope that an honest recital of the facts will enable us all to decrease the polarization in our country. ● David Romanoff | Penn Valley STATEMENT FROM THE PUBLISHER We are a diverse community.

He got it right and won the $800. 2015: Former JTA intern pranks Trebek with “SNL” reference Talia Lavin, formerly a JTA intern and nowadays an author who writes about online anti-Semitism and white supremacy, had a particularly memorable appearance on the show — for “Saturday Night Live” fans, at least.

JEWISHEXPONENT.COM L ifestyles /C ulture An Intimate Thanksgiving bounty of the harvest and grati- tude for everything we have during this very difficult year. F O OD LINDA MOREL | JE FOOD COLUMNIST ALTHOUGH MANY families traditionally celebrate Thanksgiving with a crowd, this year the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to change all that. Downsizing will be the new normal. Because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention categorize large indoor gather- ings as high-risk activities, fewer people will be flying across the country or even driving across town to join extended family and friends. The New York Times recently cited surveys which found many consumers plan to hold smaller gatherings or host only their immediate family. Plenty of rookie cooks will be making Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. Aware of this, grocery chains have increased orders for 12-pound turkeys, instead of birds in the usual 16-20 pound range, to accommodate this fall’s reality. Although families will miss loved ones who can’t celebrate with them, an intimate dinner is an opportunity to switch things up and serve foods that are too difficult to make for a larger group. In the past, if you’ve simply seasoned turkeys with salt and pepper, why not raise the flavor profile of your turkey with a dry rub of festive fall herbs? This intense seasoning will have more impact on a small bird than on a larger one. Likewise, try aromatic new side dishes.

Norton & Co. THE EUROPEAN JEWISH artists, writers and thinkers of Max Jacob’s generation tended to kill their fathers, some with greater enthusiasm than others. Intense social, profes- sional and political pressures, from Jews as well as non-Jews, induced those whose fathers had been rabbis and professionals to renounce the world that each had created; the first as stulti- fyingly provincial, the second as rapaciously acquisitive. Their new religion, in many cases, became the literary and artistic canon of the country in which they happened to live. In Jacob’s case, this was France. He arrived in Paris in 1894, just a few months before the Dreyfus affair, as a devotee of France’s liberal and literary tradition. By 1900, he was an employee of a particularly vicious anti-Semitic newspaper. In 1915, Jacob, openly gay, converted to Catholicism, and would spend a few years shuttling between Paris and a monastery. In 1944, he died a Jew in Drancy, an internment camp in the suburbs of Paris. The story of Max Jacob, groundbreaking poet of “The Dice Cup,” friend of Picasso and many other artistic luminaries of his age, has been set down by Rosanna Warren, a poet and literary critic whose long-nursed love for the work of Jacob led her to take her first crack at a biography. What Warren has produced is most certainly a poet’s biography of a poet — chronologically jumpy, and a little lighter on details than you might like, but illuminat- ingly perceptive as a reading of the subject’s life and work. Jacob, a long-dead figure whose relative obscurity and complexity could’ve made for a ponderous trudge, is instead brought alive by Warren’s hand in “Max Jacob: A Life in Art and Letters.” Part of what makes a biography of Jacob such a difficult proposi- tion is that, as Warren notes, he was an inveterate fabulist when it came to the details of his own life. His journal entries contra- dict reality and, sometimes, each other. But the falsehoods and misremembrances that Warren piles up help create a portrait by omission, whereby what Jacob was becomes more clear as you see what he was not, or could not, be. Why did the comfortable Jewish boy from Quimper claim a saintly Christian grandmother from Avignon, and five years honorably served in the navy? Why did Jacob, a close friend of Picasso’s, seek to exaggerate the artistic influ- ence of his former roommate? He writes and he writes, for newspapers, for children, for magazines, for poetry journals. His books, most notably “The Dice Cup,” make waves. He does more than rub shoul- ders with the likes of Picasso, Cocteau, Chagall, Apollinaire and Modigliani. He is a close friend and even a subject of their work. If you happen to mosey into Gallery 267 of the Philadelphia Museum of Art any time soon, you can see him represented in a Picasso as a monk. Warren states early on that she sought to keep Jacob from being trampled by all these giants in the accounting of his own life, and she succeeds at this. He appears not as Gump or Zelig, but like a more obscure Zweig, another committed Europeanist and friend of giants who did what he could to annihilate his Judaism, until it contributed to his own annihilation. “The Jews are men of intel- lect; I need men of heart,” said Courtesy of W.W. Norton & Co. Max Jacob, Parricide Extraordinaire Jacob, the intellectual, echoing the desire of many of his co-coreligionist intellectuals of the era. I wanted to grab this beautiful poet by the shoul- ders and tell him that he’ll be wearing a yellow star soon, regardless. “The mystery is in this life, the reality in the other,” Jacob wrote in “The Dice Cup.” “If you love me, if you love me, I will show you the reality.” l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 Journalist Plumbs Unseemly Depths of Online Hate Groups most hate-filled spaces on the internet? SOPHIE PANZER | JE STAFF If you’re Talia Lavin, you do it to deprive far-right “Culture Warlords: My Journey extremists “of the power to into the Dark Web of White organize in total darkness, Supremacy” to operate as the terrifying Talia Lavin bogeymen they would so like Hachette Books to be.” The activist journalist is, as the jacket copy of her WHY WOULD ANYONE new book notes, a skinhead’s dive head-first into some of the worst nightmare: she was B OOKS JEWISHEXPONENT.COM raised Modern Orthodox and is a self-described “schlubby, bisexual Jew” whose politics are “considerably to the left of Medicare for All.” In “Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy,” Lavin presents her findings from years of researching cesspools of online hatred that foment real-world violence. She JEWISH EXPONENT sometimes talks to her subjects face-to-face, but readers are more likely to be hooked by her use of false identities to observe them in secret. Lavin invents Tommy O’Hara, a 21-year-old man whose romantic failures drive him to seek out the violent misogynist community of “involuntary celibates,” or incels. There’s also Ashlynn, a Jew-hating waitress from Iowa seeking a mate on white suprem- acist dating site WhiteDate (she receives a barrage of love letters that read “like a car crash between Nicholas Sparks and ‘Mein Kampf.’”) In one of the book’s most satisfying chapters, Lavin uses Ashlynn to infiltrate the white terror See Books, Page 22 NOVEMBER 12, 2020 21 L ifestyles /C ulture Continued from Page 21 group Vorherrschaft Division and expose the identity of Ukrainian neo-Nazi David Kolomiiets. Lavin proves adept at trans- lating the tangled mass of pseudo-science and jargon that is white supremacist ideology into plain, horrifying English. She provides readers with a solid history of anti-Semitic movements in the United States before addressing their contemporary forms. She also skillfully navigates the interlocking mechanisms of anti-Semitism and other kinds of hate, and explains how white supremacists target Jews as the nefarious force behind immigration, racial equality, women’s rights, globalization, LGBTQ rights and any other societal change or structure they deem threatening. There is so much material to work with here, so much hate to sift through, that some sections can’t help but feel a bit rushed. One chapter about communal defense against white suprem- acist violence doesn’t cite many examples of how these strategies can be used successfully, and definitions of white suprema- cist jargon are often repeated unnecessarily. However, Lavin’s cinematic prose and extraordi- narily gutsy research keep the pages turning easily. Learning about the vileness that lurks in the darkest corner of the internet is necessary, but it feels like flipping over a rotten log to find all the pale, slimy things squirming under- neath. Lavin’s audience will probably want to shower after reading about how a former U.S. congressional candi- date juxtaposed the images of two journalists he assumed to be Jewish with images of mutilated deer carcasses, or how Lavin found an online discussion about whether she was too ugly to rape. Perhaps most tragically, the hate Lavin researches seeps into her own psyche. “I will never forgive them for making me hate them as much as I do, for folding a red loathing into my soul,” she writes of the neo-Nazis who have threatened to kill and torture her friends. While loathing neo-Nazis is hardly a controversial or problem- atic stance, it is hard to escape the contradiction of someone denouncing hate while admit- ting to harboring it herself. Nevertheless, Lavin’s exhaustive research and personal accounts sound an incredibly effective alarm about the dangers — both moral and physical — white supremacy and anti-Semitism pose to the fabric of society. Perhaps the most terrifying revelation from this book is the sheer humanity of these extremists, who are capable of writing love letters (albeit twisted ones) and who could be out living normal lives in the light of day while plotting genocide in darkness. l Courtesy of Hachette Book Group, Inc.. Books spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 Author Relates Lessons Learned During Multiple Trips to Israel as a Volunteer B OOKS JESSE BERNSTEIN | JE STAFF MARK WERNER DIDN’T always consider himself to be a writer. There were a few things that the Vineland, New Jersey, native and graduate of Haverford College and the University of Pennsylvania Law School felt comfortable attrib- uting to himself; sought-after lawyer, retiree, Raleigh, North Carolina, resident, passionate Zionist and devoted Jew, sure. But writer? No dice. So now, as Werner, 67, publishes his third book, a new memoir detailing his nearly two decades as a volunteer for 22 NOVEMBER 12, 2020 the Israel Defense Forces, he may be forced to concede that he is, in fact, a writer. Werner the writer will appear via Zoom at Congregation Brothers of Israel in Newtown on Nov. 17 to discuss his latest memoir, “A Passion for Israel: Adventures of a Sar-El Volunteer,” published by Gefen Publishing House, his second book on the subject. The book is blurbed by the likes of diplomat Dennis Ross, histo- rian Michael Oren and Rabbi David Wolpe. Werner will also make a digital appearance at Har Zion Temple on Dec. 7. Sar-El, a nonprofit under the direction of the Israeli Logistics Corps, provides non-Israelis and Israelis living abroad a chance to contribute service to the country without serving in combat. (“Sar-El” is a transliterated acronym of sherut l’yisrael, “service to Israel.”) The organization has brought more than 150,000 volunteers to Israel since its 1983 founding. For a few weeks at a time, those volunteers essentially act as support staff on military bases around the country. Werner, the president of Volunteers for Israel, has volun- teered with Sar-El for three weeks at a time for the last 18 years, bringing along family and friends to volunteer and live the principles he’d learned JEWISH EXPONENT during his youth. The Camp Galil alum spent his junior year of high school reading JTA news pieces aloud between Israeli songs on WWBZ in Vineland, and imbibed the lessons of his father’s time as a resistance fighter in the forests of Poland. The twinned forces of Holocaust remembrance and ardent Zionism propelled Werner to Sar-El. “A Passion for Israel” consists of journal entries covering the last 14 volunteer trips, each of them named after the base where he was stationed. The drudgery of the tasks can be overpowering at points; a typical passage cheerfully reports that the volunteer unit had so impressed a superior that more difficult work was provided for them to do, only to be slowed down because of the presence of a large snake under an armored personnel carrier. But in Werner’s mind, the repetitious toil is part of what makes the work powerful. Or, at least, more meaningful than writing a check. “It can be manual labor, it could be simply base maintenance, packing medical kits, or whatever it is. Menial jobs,” he said. “But it’s still important to me, and it’s still important to Israel.” Spliced between Werner’s daily activities on base are his interactions with Israelis JEWISHEXPONENT.COM L ifestyles /C ulture the book, while incidents like Operation Protective Edge, the Gaza Flotilla, the Iran Deal and key U.N. decisions form the second half. Werner’s message, in the end: Don’t take Israel for granted. “Since the establishment of the state of Israel 72 years ago, there has been not a single mass persecution of Jews anywhere in the world, and you might think that’s normal, because we grow up this way. And we say, OK, that’s normal,” Werner said. “It’s not normal. In the history of Jewish people, you’d be hard pressed to find any 72-year span before where there was no mass persecution anywhere in the world of Jews. But the reason there hasn’t been since 1948 is because of the existence of the state of Israel.” l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 Courtesy of Gefen Publishing House on and off duty, valuable for their insight into Israeli life. He travels the country with family and friends, taking in the sights and reinforcing why they’ve chosen to do what they do. Many Jews’ impressions of the country and its citizens, Werner believes, are distorted by the fact that they are trans- mitted through the media. Israel, he said, is a much more diverse, kind and loving place than many realize. In other words, according to Werner: There’s much more to Israel than Haredim and soldiers, and much more to Haredim and soldiers, too. Werner also seeks to contex- tualize his journal entries by describing the Israeli political and military situations that his volunteering stints coincide with.

During this time of high anxiety in our country, especially the weeks leading up to the election, I have been calling upon my ancestors for love and guidance. I do not know their names beyond fi ve or six gener- ations. Yet I call upon them, trying to reach them through the veils of time. I need them. As I sat down to fi nalize my thoughts on the day before our presidential election, my mind took a diff erent turn from what I had planned to say. I found myself calling out to Mother Sarah, for her love and guidance, as I faced my fear of having such an uncertain future. Why you, Sarah? We read so little of you in Torah, yet you have inspired volumes of midrashim, poems, songs, chants, niggunim, rituals, dance, stories — and names. Many Jewish women have been given your name, which has been passed down to our female off spring for gener- ations upon generations. I, too, bear your name. Your name gives honor to many Jewish institutions and organizations. We revere you. It is fi tting that this week’s parshah bears your name, although it takes place aft er your death, opening with your burial and mourning. Shiva.

Or did they, like Torah does, also share stories of your anger, jealousy, your “tests”? What are the stories that Abraham and Isaac didn’t tell, didn’t know? Th e stories of how you endured, and endured and endured. Th e stories that made you a woman who could laugh at Divine Proclamations, instead of cursing the timing. You were not a saint, Sarah. Th at is why it is you to whom I call out, in my fear, my anger, my lack of faith — I feel you know me. Empathize with me in my angst in this tumultuous time. Have compassion for me and all people facing an uncer- tain world, as you did. In the bereavement group I facilitated the day aft er the election, thinking of you, Sarah, I asked the participants to bring one of their ancestors to mind, someone whom they felt gave them a strength that was needed in this tense time, and then to share it in the form of a blessing. Such guidance, kindness, comfort and vision poured forth! And you, Sarah, your blessing was there, too. Th ere, not just coming from you, but through you, as it has done for millennia. Sarah, Mother Sarah, your life continues in our lives — not only in our creative midrashim, but in our bodies, minds and spirits. In our ability to laugh.

Franklin, who leads the 14,000-member Free Chapel church of Gainesville, Georgia, denied the claims. Th e dispute began when Evans received a list of campaign donors from Franklin that reported $3.3 million more in donations than Evans thought were raised. Franklin contended that there was a verbal agree- ment where Evans would get $1 million for causes of his choosing, with the rest remaining with Franklin to promote his own causes and pay expenses. Franklin said he gave Evans $1.2 million as a goodwill gesture. ● Compiled by Andy Gotlieb Over the past 50 years, the members have come to regard each other as extended family.

GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS www.goldsteinsfuneral.com TO PLACE A MEMORIAL AD CALL 215.832.0749 DEATH NOTICES MEISEL Judith (Beker Cohen) Meisel, age 91, passed away peacefully at home on November 3, 2020 in St. Louis Park, MN. She was born in Lithuania to Mina and Osser Beker, and sur- vived the Holocaust in the Kovno ghetto and eventually the Stutthoff Concentration Camp where her mother was murdered in the gas chamber. She and her sister, Rachel, es- caped during a death march in 1945 as the Russians were advancing towards the Camp. She was 16 years old when she was liber- ated in Denmark. More than 75 years later, Judy provided key witness testimony in re- cent German indictments and trials of SS guards from Stutthoff. Her amazing story of survival can be found at judymeisel.com. Her life story as a Holocaust survivor, educator, speaker and activist was chronicled in a doc- umentary film, Tak for Alt. She was steadfast and outspoken in her pursuit of justice, shar- ing her story as a lesson to fight hatred, bigotry and indifference. Her favorite expres- sion was, “I hate hate.” She previously lived in Philadelphia and Santa Barbara, where she was a renowned preschool director and teacher. Judy is predeceased, in addition to her parents, by her loving husband, Fred Meisel; her sister, Rachel Levitin and Rachel’s husband, Josfa; her brother, Abe Beker; and son-in-law, Samuel Tucker. She is survived by her three children, Mina (Jeffrey Berenson) Cohen of Mendocino, CA, Michael (Soni) Cohen of St. Louis Park, MN and Debby Tucker of Potomac, MD. She is also survived by her step-daughters, Alexandra (Jonathan) Bricklin and Rene Meisel; and her sister-in-law, Simmie Beker of Toronto. Her deepest pride were her grandchildren who called her Savta: Elana (Yakov) Pesah of Jer- usalem, Yael (Ben) White of Chicago, IL, Aaron (Katherine Clark) Cohen of Astoria, Queens, NY, Ben (Erin) Cohen of Brooklyn, NY, Seth Tucker of Silver Spring, MD and Jennifer (Matthew) Shopsin of San Carlos, CA. She also is survived by her step-grand- daughter, Rebecca Bricklin. Judy’s biggest joy were her great-grandchildren, Mira and Rafa Clark Cohen, Ada and Eleanor White, Aaron, Chana, Shmuel, Yisroel and Rivka Pesah; and Rachel Shopsin. She will be missed by nieces, nephews and friends who became “family” especially after losing so many of her own relatives in the Holocaust. Judy had a large number of “closest friends” and was only 2 or 3 degrees of separation from thousands of people. There was al- ways a seat available for guests at her table for a Shabbat meal or holiday dinner. Her mock chopped liver, schnecken and me- ringue cookies were legendary. Judy will be missed by many as she touched so many lives with her empathic ability to connect with anyone that she left a large special imprint on the world. Burial will be a private graveside service due to Covid-19. A larger memorial tribute will be held in the future post-pan- demic. In lieu of flowers please make a dona- tion in her memory to The Judy Project at www.judymeisel.com. This will help ensure that her story continues to be shared with fu- ture generations through new film and multi- media works. Judy was a lifelong supporter of the Anti-Defamation League so contribu- tions are also welcomed in her memory to the ADL of Santa Barbara or the JCRC of Minnesota and the Dakotas.

COMMUNITYBRIEFS Writer and Broadcaster Janice Booker Dies at 91 JANICE LEAH BOOKER, who wrote three books, hosted a radio program for nearly two decades and had a hand in the creation of the iconic “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up” line, died Oct. 25 in Malibu, California. She was 91. Booker, who was formerly of Philadelphia and Wyncote, and her late husband Alvin, started publishing several small regional business magazines from a two-room office. Their company, Secrephone, branched out into transcriptions of medical reports for individual physicians and hospitals. Years later, the Bookers bought the rights to what became Med-a-Lert, and its first advertisement was videotaped in their home with an actress saying the now-famous line “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up.” Aside from newspaper and magazine articles, Booker wrote “The Jewish American Princess and Janice Leah Booker Courtesy of the Booker family JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Other Myths: The Many Faces of Self-Hatred” in 1992, “Philly Firsts: The Famous, Infamous, and Quirky of the City of Brotherly Love” and “Across from the Alley Next Door to the Poolroom” in 2011. In addition, she hosted “The Janice Booker Show,” taught journalism at Temple University and memoir writing and public speaking at the University of Pennsylvania and wrote for The Jewish Writing Project. She also worked as an interviewer for Steven Spielberg’s USC Shoah Foundation. When living in Wyncote, Booker was a member of Or Hadash, a Reconstructionist Congregation and its Havurah group. Booker and her husband moved to California in 2002, becoming active members of Partners in Learning Actively Teaching Ourselves. Booker is survived by her son Ellis Carl Booker (Erin), daughter Susan Barbara Booker (Jerry Shevick) and seven grandchildren. Folkshul Memorial Commemorates Kristallnacht, Tulsa Massacre Jewish Children’s Folkshul held a memorial Nov. 8 at Fort Washington State Park to commemorate both Kristallnacht and the 1921 Black Wall Street Massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Participants examined firsthand witness testimo- nies and combined music, songs and stories, with facilitated dialogue to reflect on those events and consider their relevance today. In the Black Wall Street Massacre, white residents of Tulsa ransacked their neighbors’ Black-owned JEWISH EXPONENT businesses and property. The Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street, was attacked by ordinary citizens, some of whom were deputized and given weapons by local law enforcement. The numbers of deaths is disputed, although the Oklahoma Bureau of Vital Statistics recorded 36 deaths, and as many as 6,000 Black residents were interned, some for several days. Bat Mitzvah Project Raises Money for Women’s Hygiene Supplies Bat mitzvah girl Sami Neff’s community project raised enough money to buy more than 29,000 women’s hygiene products that will be distributed by the Jewish Relief Agency. The Philadelphia girl developed four methods for obtaining donations and supplies, including a donation box at the Baldwin School, where she is a student; links on Amazon.com for supplies to be bought online; use of her mother’s Venmo account for cash donations; and a Facebook fundraising page. During her bat mitzvah speech, she said she raised $2,872 in cash and collected more than 50 unopened packages of hygiene supplies. “Sanitary products are as essential as toilet paper or a toothbrush, and need to be discussed as such ... [and] long after my bat mitzvah comes and goes, I plan to continue to raise awareness and help break down the taboos surrounding this extremely important topic,” she said. Sami will visit the JRA warehouse on Nov. 13 to see the products her money bought. l Compiled by Andy Gotlieb NOVEMBER 12, 2020 31 Our Spectrum of Care 32 NOVEMBER 12, 2020 JEWISH EXPONENT JEWISHEXPONENT.COM
