Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is an oncologist, bioethicist, vice provost for global initiatives and chair of the department of medical ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author and editor of several books, his writing has appeared widely in news outlets and he previ- ously worked with President Barack Obama as one of the main creators of the Affordable Care Act. “Dealing with the corona- virus pandemic is one of the most important battles our administration will face, and I will be informed by science and by experts,” said President- elect Biden in a statement. “The advisory board will help shape my approach to managing the surge in reported infec- tions; ensuring vaccines are safe, effective, and distrib- uted efficiently, equitably, and free; and protecting at-risk populations.” Coronavirus cases have exploded in the United States over the past several weeks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported almost 11 million cases and more than 245,000 deaths in the country as of Nov. 16. State and local governments are beginning to implement new regulations on businesses and gatherings as the case count climbs. On Nov. 16, the City of Philadelphia announced new “Safer at Home” restrictions effective from Nov. 20, 2020, through Jan. 1, 2021. Museums, theaters and gyms must close, restaurants can no longer offer indoor dining and schools must move to online-only instruction. Private indoor gatherings with members of more than one household are also prohibited. In an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer, Emanuel called for consistent public health messaging to battle the pandemic. “You need everyone in government on one page,” Emanuel told the Inquirer, “and you need to repeat the message often.” Don’t Schlep It, Ship It!

He emphasized the need for a centralized strategy and cooperation among the states. “You need coordination at the center, at the White House, when you are coordinating many government agencies and private companies,” he told the Inquirer. (Emanuel declined to be interviewed for this story.) David Agus, CEO of the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine and a professor of medicine and engineering at the University of Southern California, said Emanuel’s background in bioethics will come into play as the committee considers some of the most important medical questions of our time. “How do we decide who gets what treatments or vaccines, and what is the order?” he said. “Do we want to vacci- nate people of color because they have a higher risk of complications? The elderly? Health care workers? Those are very important decisions that need broad perspective. And what I think Zeke brings to the committee is that broad perspective, which is really critical.” Emanuel’s appointment has been controversial due to a 2014 article he published in The Atlantic in which he declared he did not want to live past 75 and plans to refuse life-pro- longing medical procedures like cancer screenings and vaccines once he reaches that age. He critiqued Americans’ obsession with living as long as possible. Death is a loss, he allowed, but so is living too long. “It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to work, society, and the world,” he wrote. Emanuel’s comments about disability and quality of life ignited a Twitter storm and rankled activists such as Kristan Hawkins, president of pro-life organization Students for Life, and Elizabeth Land Quant, a queer, disabled writer. The controversy was also covered in major news outlets, including Fox News, Newsweek and The Daily Mail. Louise Hall wrote in The Independent, “Many Republicans criti- cized the views Dr Emanuel expressed ... and argued it raised questions about his position on the government advisory board.” Among those GOP critics were White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnaney and Sen. Tom Cotton. Agus does not agree with Emanuel’s ideas about the value of old age, but said his statements were intended to create a national conversation about aging and end-of-life care. “Zeke Emanuel is a remark- able thinker and a fantastic instigator of ideas. In order to get an understanding, you need discourse, and he is good at writing inflammatory statements that will create discourse,” he said. “Do I think he really believes that at age 75, he’d like to go to sleep and not wake up? No, not at all. I think he just wanted to create discourse around the ideas, which he did, and that was powerful and I respect him for that.” l spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 New Town to Be Built in Federation Partner Region I S R AE L JESSE BERNSTEIN | JE STAFF ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet announced approval for construction of a new town in the Sdot Negev region on Nov. 8, allocating 1 million shekels for development of a new settlement to be called JEWISH EXPONENT Hanun. Located in the Gaza border region, south of Sderot, Hanun will be home to about 500 new households. “This is great news for Israel; this is great news for the communities in the Gaza border communities,” Netanyahu said, according to The Jerusalem Post. “We continue to develop the southern towns, including the moshavim and kibbutzim.” The project of creating Hanun has been in the works since 2014, and has a strong Philadelphia connection. Since 1997, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia has worked with the Netivot-Sdot Negev region, sending 350 yearly visitors and over $10 million to support educational and cultural JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines enrichment. According to Tamir Idan, mayor of the Sdot Negev Regional Council, the 30% growth in the region’s population and ensuing popularity as a new destination for families is “directly related” to Federation support. “This is one of the most exciting and historic decisions in recent years in Israel in general, and all the more so in our area,” said Idan. “Only in a few years will we know the consequences of this Zionist decision on the map of settle- ment in the Land of Israel and in the State of Israel, as well as on the resilience of the residents of the area.” Back in 2014, following the conclusion of Operation Protective Edge, Idan and others in the Israeli government worried about how they would persuade residents of the Gaza border towns to remain where they were. For six years, Idan has worked with the govern- ment to make Hanun a reality, powered by a belief that the settlement would be expressive of the country’s values, and by a sense of responsibility. “We believe that we have a duty to lead the region forward, to make sure that people will want to come and live here and to take care of developing education, culture, sports and other areas of life,” Idan said. Michele Levin, chair of the Committee for Israel and Global Strategy at Federation, said that the committee was pleased to see that the quality of life in the Sdot Negev region was such that families are electing to move there in greater numbers. Significant resources have been put toward the end of convincing Israelis that an area in the direct periphery of the Gaza border could have a future for them. Federation has helped to build cultural venues like The Kaiserman Ethiopian Center, Annabel Lindy Cultural Center, the Tannenbaum Music Conservatory, and Saligman Early Childhood Education Center. They have also contrib- uted to projects that confront the reality of life in the Gaza border region, like upgraded community bomb shelters and first responders’ equipment. The construction of Hanun, she believes, is an indicator that those resources have been put to good use. “That’s a proud point for Jewish Federation in Philadelphia, because we really help support the quality of life in the region,” Levin said. According to Idan, a substan- tial waiting list for homes in Hanun has already begun to form. Mayor Tamir Idan, head of the Sdot Negev Regional Council Photo by Shai Sharbaf “The establishment of the new settlement is the highlight,” Idan said, “but we must know that alongside this we also develop the existing settlements, upgrade infrastructure in the public areas, build advanced sports fields, and of course, continue to build and expand the settlements in order to absorb young families joining existing families in the Sdot Negev Regional Council.” l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 Name: Chain Mar Furniture Showcase Width: 9.25 in Depth: 5.5 in Color: Black plus one Comment: JE Ad Number: 00092355 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM JEWISH EXPONENT NOVEMBER 19, 2020 5 H eadlines Delicious New Bagels? It’s Kismet L OCA L JESSE BERNSTEIN | JE STAFF ONCE JACOB COHEN, 32, starts talking about Castle Valley Mill in Doylestown, it’s tough to get him to stop. The quality of the flour that is produced, the couple that owns the mill, the size of the orders that he’s making from there — it all comes out in an excited rush. Yet before March of this year, he’d never heard of it. Cohen and his wife, Alexandra, 29, began the pandemic as, respectively, a real estate agent and an adver- tising salesperson. Today, they’re professional bakers, producing close to 2,000 bagels every week under the banner of Kismet Bagels, described as New York on the inside, Montreal on the outside. They’re on the menu at Memphis Taproom, baked fresh for Di Bruno Bros. on Chestnut Street on the weekends and available for pick-up in Ardmore. Two people who didn’t really know how to bake this time last year would like to put a hot bagel (or 12) in your hands, soon. The couple batted around lots of names when the venture grew to the point that such a discus- sion was necessary, and there were some strong contenders. But when Alexandra suggested Kismet, it was over. It didn’t just describe the bagels, they felt; it described their lives together. “When I said that name, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s it,’” Alexandra said. Jacob and Alexandra met as small children at the shore through their grandparents, Jacob and Alexandra Cohen, back when Kismet Bagels could still be run from their home.

Though the two lost touch for many years, pursuing careers on different coasts, kismet — and a well-timed run-in with Alexandra’s grand- mother — eventually brought them back together. “It’s not an arranged marriage, but it is might well be,” Jacob laughed. In March, the pair were working jobs that were utterly devoid of bagels. With more free time than ever, and with worries about the food supply chain, they decided to get in on a trend, and try out baking. Jacob’s mother and grand- mother are both “absolutely phenomenal” bakers, he said, but the gene had not made its way to his hands, and Alexandra was similarly bereft. Naturally, they bought 40 pounds of flour and eight pounds of yeast to start with. When Alexandra woke up one day craving a bagel, both qua bagel and as a little slice of normalcy, Jacob — “naively and arrogantly,” by his own admis- sion — decided to give it a shot. Though neither of them had ever baked, they’d followed instruc- tions before, and it paid off: The bagels turned out wonderfully. Before long, they were dropping off batches for family members, wondering what’d taken them so long to start. It was Alexandra who decided that the bagels should function as more than breakfast. Writing on their neighbor- hood Facebook group’s page, Alexandra asked if there was a way to donate bagels to hospital workers. They were guided instead to sell the bagels and donate the proceeds. Thirty orders later, the Cohens had dough all over their home. One week later, the Northern Liberties Business Improvement District asked them if they’d like to try out a pop-up store, working out of a professional kitchen. Jacob was hesitant — this was just supposed to be a fun little JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H EADLINES thing, and it had already grown beyond that, at seven dozen per day — but they decided to give it a shot. Th ere was a steeper learning curve than they realized, and a lot of assis- tance from a professional baker at Urban Village Brewing Company, but the pop-up was a success, and they raised $1,200 for Project Home. It was around then that the Cohens realized they had something more than every- thing seasoning and homemade schmear on their hands. Th ey’d always talked about running a business together, and though bagels had not topped the list of possibilities, other ideas they’d discussed never really stuck. Within days of the pop-up, Kismet Bagels was born, with an Instagram page to match. Over the summer, the off ers kept coming, and the Cohens put on pop-ups all over Philadelphia, and even back where it all started, at Steve and Cookie’s in Margate. Th ey raised money for Black Lives Matter Philly and the PPE Fund for Sanitation Workers, and even as they made the decision to become a full-fl edged business, charity remained a central ingredient. Th is month, they’ll move into Maken Studios in Kensington, where they’ll call a commercial baking facility their own. Right now, they’re baking 140 dozen bagels per week, but they expect that number to jump. Eight months ago, the Cohens panic-ordered more fl our than they knew what to do with. Now, they want to be “the wholesale bagel brand of Philadelphia and beyond,” Jacob said. “Th is is it,” he said. ● jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 Kismet Bagels are available all over the city.

Klain, 59, who was raised in Indianapolis, served as chief of staff for Biden during the Obama admin- istration and also for Vice President Al Gore. Klain was Obama’s “ebola czar” during the disease’s 2014 outbreak. Klain has been open about his Judaism. “I grew up in Indiana, with a decent-size Jewish community, but we were a distinct minority,” he told The New York Times in 2007. “Not having a Christmas tree was very much part of our Jewish identity in a place where everyone else did.” A graduate of Harvard Law, Klain clerked for Supreme Court Justice Byron White and was an aide to Massachusetts U.S. Rep. Ed Markey (now a senator). He also was involved in both of Bill Clinton’s presidential campaigns. JTA reported.

Erekat’s spent much of his adult life trying to reach a peace agreement with Israel and was the deputy head of the Palestinian delegation at the 1991 Madrid talks convened by President George H. W. Bush. He became the chief Palestinian negotiator in 1993 once the Oslo peace process direct talks were underway and was also the secretary-general of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization. “Saeb dedicated his life to his people,” said Tzipi Livni, who, as Israeli foreign minister, negotiated with Erekat during the 2007-2008 Annapolis talks. “Reaching Peace is my destiny he used to say,” she said on Twitter. “Being sick, he texted me: ‘I’m not finished with what I was born to do’. My deepest condolences to the Palestinians and his family.” Netanyahu: Israel to Get Pfizer Coronavirus Vaccines in January Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Nov. 12 that Israel will start receiving Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine as early as January, the Times of Israel reported. “Together with the legal advisers on both sides, we have removed the last obstacle before signing a contract with Pfizer for the supply of vaccines to Israel,” Netanyahu said in statement broadcast live. “We will get these vaccines like the leading countries in the world. It will start in January, it will grow from month to month. And we are working, and I am working, to bring vaccines from other sources as well. The more, the better,” he added. Those comments do differ from those of outgoing coronavirus czar Roni Gamzu, who said April is more likely, with March a possibility.

Th e maiden voyage took place at Clark Park in West Philadelphia, just under a mile from the Penn Hillel building where chefs Troy Harris and Kareem Wallace met one another and fi rst conceived of their food truck/community hub. Th at’s also where they fi rst became acquainted with many of the people who helped bring Grassroots to the road. “All these years that we’ve been doing this, a lot of people would have gave up,” Harris said. “But we had this strong support system, and I just want to say, that was my drive, to keep pushing this.” LEGAL DIRECTORY Harris and Wallace — both Black, both West Philadelphia natives — met in the kitchen of the Penn Hillel. Th e two men became close, and as their friendship deepened, so did their popularity with the Penn students who frequented the Falk Dining Commons on the fi rst fl oor of Hillel’s Steinhardt Hall. Over the years, when Harris, Wallace and the other dining commons workers needed assistance — in labor fi ghts, in individual calamities — Penn students, Jewish or not, pitched in. When Harris’ house burned down in 2008, students successfully petitioned the food services provider that employed Harris to up their contribution to his family’s recovery eff ort. When Harris’ son, Azir, was paralyzed in 2018, shot fi ve times, it was Penn students, like Wharton graduate Michelle Lyu, who helped raise thousands of dollars towards Azir’s recovery. In the aft ermath of having successfully agitated for higher wages, aided by Hillel regulars, Harris and Wallace decided that they wanted to have a project of their own. In 2014, the concept of a food truck, one that would serve kosher meals while functioning as a resource for young men in their own communities, became an animating force in their lives. Th e project was met with great enthusiasm, and they raised thousands of dollars via online fundraisers, aided by students and a local businessman named Gary Koppelman, who lent the men space to store their food truck when it was fi nally brought to life. But as the years passed, the drudgery and cost of acquiring permits slowed the roll of the Chosen Mitbach, and when Azir became paralyzed, there were simply other things to focus on. The project languished. Greg Whitehorn, who graduated from Penn in 2019, was initially drawn to the Hillel by the prospect The Chosen Mitbach on its maiden voyage, Nov. 8.

But for rabbis leading branches of those mainstays of campus Jewish life, the fall has been an invitation to “double down on our values,” as Rabbi Isabel de Koninck put it. “Just watching students’ commitment to trying to make the best of this, and trying to figure out who they want to be, as leaders and as people, through this pandemic, has really been a huge bright spot,” said de Koninck, executive director of Hillel at Drexel University. At Drexel, de Koninck, her staff and the Hillel student leaders, with guidance from the Drexel Hillel board of direc- tors and Hillel International, have spent the last eight months trying to figure out how to create meaningful Hillel experiences, just like they always do. That whole “can’t-be-in-a-room together” element, however, presented some novel challenges. By the summer, de Koninck said, the prospect of basing the entirety of a Hillel experience on Zoom sounded undesir- able. Thus, a workaround was needed, something that would 12 NOVEMBER 19, 2020 allow pods of Jewish students, safely seeing each other in person, to have a Hillel experi- ence that wasn’t mediated by a screen. What emerged from brainstorming sessions were “Jewish life kits,” as de Koninck put it. More than just care packages, they included recipes (and their constituent ingredients), engaging discus- sion prompts (and a journal in which to reflect upon them) and even holiday cards to send around to friends and family. The kits allowed students, “whether they were living with roommates or living with their parents,” de Koninck said, “to touch and feel and taste and experience the holidays, without necessarily having to be in front of a screen.” That method of connection, plus Drexel Hillel’s student-led “Wellness Ambassador” program, has more than softened the blow of this semester. It’s helped to chart a path to the next one. A similar dynamic is at play at Penn Hillel. In the spring, the staff contacted every single Jewish undergraduate at the school to see how they were doing. Like the staff and student leaders of the Drexel Hillel, they understood that ensuring the well-being of their community would mean that sort of care, in perpetuity. Rabbi Mike Uram, execu- tive director of Penn Hillel, landed on one similar solution: themed baskets of food and discussion questions, distrib- uted to trained discussion leaders, spread out among pods of Jewish students. Just like that, over 200 students were spending time each week in groups of 10 to 15, talking about topics like the presiden- tial election and Israel. Such comforts weren’t just provided to students who had decided to live near campus, though. Miniature versions were sent to Jewish students at their homes across the country, and they were also invited to drop in on the frequent Zoom-based lectures, from the likes of the aforementioned Dr. Ruth. For Shira Silver, a senior and co-president of Penn Hillel, her fonder memories of this bizarre semester will be from the “To-Go Tuesdays.” Every Tuesday night, for eight weeks straight, more than 100 students came to a socially distanced distribution line outside the Hillel building for “hot meals and warm smiles,” Silver said. Indulging the Jewish mother inside of her, Silver added, was the cherry on top of a slew of increas- ingly precious face-to-face interactions. At Chabad at Temple University, Rabbi Baruch Kantor attributes this semes- ter’s successes to flexibility. As the medical and legal reali- ties of the fall shifted, and then shifted again, it was the ability to remain nimble that allowed Kantor and his team to respond to student needs, to drop what wasn’t working and invest more deeply in what was. In Temple’s case, some of those successes have been at-home Shabbat kits for pods of students combined with semi-regular face-to-face inter- action from a safe distance. “Thank God, we’ve seen a lot a lot of students,” Kantor said.

A popular program that pairs students with local Holocaust survivors has actually become even more popular, expanding the number of students involved and the pool of Holocaust survivors. And the loss of a Birthright trip, usually a huge enthusiasm-generator, has been somewhat offset by increased attendance and interest in Israel programming. No one knows what the spring will bring. Cases are up across the country, and colleges that make decisions now may be reversing them soon. And though no one is blind to what’s been lost this semester, their eyes are open to what’s been found, too. “Some good things come out of this craziness,” Gurevitz said. l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines Jobs Continued from Page 1 would not be opening again soon, she started looking for another job and studying for an advanced wine certification, but she couldn’t focus. “It just seemed kind of stupid, with everything going on,” she said. “It was the first time in the last eight years that I wasn’t, like, eating it up and super excited about it.” She lived alone in Old City, and the days of isolation blurred together. She started practicing Judaism with more intention, keeping kosher and thinking about finding a career that would make a difference in people’s lives. Her grand- mother, who founded the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (now JDRF), had always been an inspiration to her. She applied and was accepted to master’s programs in counsel- ling at Rosemont College and La Salle University. Lees is one of thousands of professionals who have made job switches or career changes during the economic upheaval of the past eight months. Whether due to layoffs, furloughs or a change in perspective brought about by a national crisis, Jewish professionals and organizations are pivoting to adapt to a new job market. Jewish religious centers, nonprofits and cultural organi- zations have not been immune from rounds of pandemic-in- duced layoffs and furloughs. Ilana Aisen, CEO of JPRO Network, said organizations that relied on earned revenue have been the hardest hit. “JCCs were under extraordi- nary stress almost immediately. So were synagogues, which rely on membership dues around High Holiday times,” she explained. To help those coping with job loss, the Jewish Federations of North America partnered with JPRO Network to create Rise, a career services program for professionals in JEWISHEXPONENT.COM the American and Canadian Jewish world. “We just felt it critical, given our mission and our mandate, to support people who go through the process of losing a job, which is often practically and emotionally shattering, and to make sure that our colleagues would land on their feet,” Aisen said. Rise connects furloughed and out-of-work professionals with career coaches, financial information and mental health resources to build resilience. “For people who work in the Jewish community, they’re here because they’re passionate about the mission, they love the work,” she said. “For many of us, it’s so deeply personal, and people go through all the stages of grieving because this is a major loss.” While the goal is to keep as many professionals working in the Jewish world as possible, Rise also helps them find place- ments in other areas with the hope of keeping them in contact with other Jewish professionals until the economy improves. JEVS Human Services has partnered with Rise to offer career counseling to clients who worked in the Jewish world. They have also been working with clients from various backgrounds and industries who need to make a job or career change during the pandemic. Peggy Truitt, director of career strategies, noted that people with higher education who have been able to work from home have been less drastically impacted by job loss than those in the hospitality, retail and restaurant indus- tries. Many of those job losses are becoming permanent as businesses are forced to close, and there is no way to know if they will ever come back. “We know that so many restaurants have closed that there will be a lot less opportu- nity for those positions,” Truitt said. Women across the economic spectrum are also more vulnerable to job loss due to the lack of available child care from schools and day care centers. “Taking on the whole home front has been really impactful to their careers,” she said. Truitt said JEVS career counselors work to help people identify whether they need a job change or want to change careers entirely. If the latter is necessary, they identify transferable skills, study the competition in other fields and assist with networking and rebranding. People who worked in restau- rants, for example, typically have excellent customer service skills and sales skills. Truitt said JEVS has helped these clients transfer to e-commerce, an industry that has boomed during the pandemic. JEVS client Kathy Blum worked as a restaurant manager in the Scranton area for over 30 years before she moved to Northeast Philadelphia to be closer to family. At 62, she struggled to find another job due to her age, and she had no idea how to approach her job search when the pandemic hit. “I was really drowning,” she said. With the help of JEVS career counselor Jackie Savoy, she found a job working remotely as a contact tracer for Insight Global, which contracts with Pennsylvania’s state government. She plans to work there until the pandemic ends and then pivot into another customer service role. Interest in trades like carpentry and plumbing is also booming among those looking to pivot into pandemic-proof fields. Orleans Technical College, the trade Stephanie Lees Photo by Steven Auerbach school run by JEVS, has seen a spike in enroll- much wanting to change careers, ment and wait lists. “We all live in houses that because I could have stayed and need repair and work in build- could have grown with the ings that need maintenance,” company and continued in that said Debbie Bello, director of path, but given a whole handful of things made the decision to admissions.

JEWISH EXPONENT NOVEMBER 19, 2020 13 O pinion We Need Thanksgiving More Than Ever This Year BY DANIEL TREIMAN AMERICANS ARE IN desperate need of some common ground. That’s why, this year, Thanksgiving isn’t coming a day too soon. No matter our political views, our religious beliefs, or if we hail from the reddest rural regions or bluest urban areas, on the fourth Thursday of November, Americans will step outside their daily routines to partake in this beloved national holiday. True, we mark Thanksgiving in many different ways. For some, expressions of gratitude to God take center stage, while others celebrate more secularly. Some watch football religiously, while others prefer the Charlie Brown special. Some stick to the holiday’s traditional menu, while other families augment their turkey dinners with dishes reflecting their own particular cultural backgrounds — and vegetarian Americans might opt for a tofurkey. But a shared national holiday is still a shared national holiday, even if its observance is infinitely customizable and variegated. What’s more American than e pluribus unum? In many respects, Thanksgiving is to Americans what Passover is for Jews. And both holidays build bridges across deep divides. American Jews are not immune to the same forces that are setting Americans against one another. It can sometimes be difficult for American Jews to remember that we are one people, especially when religious differences increasingly overlap with a sharp political divide. Yet the fact that every Passover we all still gather around Seder tables to recount the same story reminds us that we share a past and — we hope — a future. (Next year in Jerusalem!) Indeed, attendance at a Passover Seder is one of the most widely practiced Jewish observances among American Jews. Yes, some families may make amendments to the Seder plate that would vex some of their fellow Jews, but like turkey at Thanksgiving, you can safely assume that you will find familiar items on any Seder table. And while we might use different haggadot — ranging from traditional to liberal to nontheistic to social justice-themed — Jews of all backgrounds find a common touchstone in our ancestors’ Exodus from Egypt. While Passover is the origin story of the Jewish people, Thanksgiving brings us back to the beginnings of America. Both holidays recount mythically powerful moments at the dawn of a new nation, recalling how, with the help of Providence, a people was delivered from a narrow place. For Passover, it was the redemption from slavery in Egypt; for Thanksgiving, a bountiful harvest that averted the threat of famine in an unfor- giving new land. Freedom from bondage, and freedom from want and fear. The parallels don’t stop once the tables are cleared: What did the ancient Israelites do with their newfound, God-given freedom? They worshipped a golden calf. And what is our national ritual after our day of giving thanks? Black Friday sales. (Moments of transcen- dence are, as ever, ephemeral.) Thanksgiving has been a special gift to American Jews. It is a secular national holiday that, in a predominantly Christian country, Jews (and other religious minorities) could embrace with enthu- siasm and, in doing so, feel fully American. Yet for all that we have gained from Thanksgiving, American Jews are also well-positioned to give something back. Historians point out that the popular Thanksgiving story that many of us learned as children is not exactly how things happened back at that “First Thanksgiving” in 1621. Many would also note that the tradi- tional Thanksgiving story elides the larger context of horrors inflicted upon Native Americans by European settlers. American Jews are no strangers to navigating the tension between history and memory. In 2001, the eminent Conservative Rabbi David Wolpe stirred contro- versy when he spoke to his Los Angeles synagogue about how the biblical account of the Exodus is not supported by the archaeological record. But as Wolpe has noted, Jews should not fear historical knowledge. “The Torah is not a book we turn to for historical accuracy, but rather for truth,” he would later write. “The story of the Exodus lives in us.” Similarly, Thanksgiving over the centuries has accrued rich meanings that we carry with us beyond what is known about that small celebra- tion at Plymouth. Amid our current culture wars over the American past, perhaps we can find a better balance between history and narrative when it comes to Thanksgiving. Grappling honestly with history as it actually unfolded, and reckoning with the perspectives of Native Americans — who have struggled with what Thanksgiving should mean to them — need not diminish, and could indeed enrich, our obser- vance of the holiday. Just as Jews argue around the Seder table about Passover’s themes, Americans are unlikely to reach a consensus as to what Thanksgiving should mean. But it is still our common heritage, one that each year we share, appreciate and wrestle with. This year, Thanksgiving presents unique challenges. In the midst of a deadly pandemic, we are not able to gather as usual with family and friends. Large, non-socially distanced gatherings of the sort that the Pilgrims hosted at Plymouth or the Israelites had at Sinai are out of the question. But as we wander through the wilderness of post-election acrimony, this Thanksgiving has a special importance: Whether in small groups around our dining room tables or in conti- nent-spanning Zooms, we would do well to remember the many blessings that we as Americans enjoy together. l Daniel Treiman is a former managing editor of JTA, where this piece first appeared. It’s the Era of Endless Fatigue, So Give Yourself a Break BY DR. BETSY STONE 14 NOVEMBER 19, 2020 DEPENDING ON HOW you count, we’re now in month 8 of this endless trauma. I’ve been describing it as a bitter Napoleon — you know those pastries that are layers of filo and cream? Instead of layers that are yummy, our layers are loss on trauma on grief. Cases are rising, the temperature is dropping and our homes seem to be getting smaller. Our children are always there, we have become their teachers as well as their parents. Zoom fatigue is real. Racial injustice continues; the election and its wrangling are ongoing. We vacillate between exhaustion and exhaustion. I’ve been teaching groups of teachers and educators lately and I keep hearing the same two things: Their responsibili- ties keep growing and they are always supposed to be happy. JEWISH EXPONENT And they have neither time nor space to recover. The way our brains and bodies are supposed to work in crisis is simple. Quick reaction and then slow recovery. Get frightened, act, and then calm. There’s a surge reaction and then a reset. That reset can happen in sleep, awake, alone, with others — but that reset is essential. At the beginning of this crisis, we were in surge mode. I spoke with educators all over the country who were working nonstop, trying to move from live to on-line learning. They did it. I facilitate a rabbis group that scrambled to create meaningful services and community connections — and they succeeded. Camps did amazing pivots, creating See Stone, Page 23 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM O pinion Shabbat Transformed, Reinvigorated BY OLIVIA SHER LIKE EVERYONE, I spent the duration of last week with CNN, The New York Times and NPR. Their websites were running in the background of all my meetings, classes and leisure time — constantly open, constantly refreshed. As the week dragged on and Wednesday, and then Thursday, went by with no results, I became growingly anxious that the news of the presidency would be deliv- ered over Shabbat. I’m shomer Shabbos, which means I observe Shabbat traditionally by abstaining from technology from Friday night to Saturday afternoon. I feared I’d miss the biggest news of the year — the very news I’d been desperately waiting to hear for days. My Orthodox Jewish friends and roommates in New York City were in the same boat, trying to make peace with being in the dark for 25 hours during one of American history’s most important elections. An election that we all had a personal stake in. On Friday, I did one last refresh at 4:27 p.m. — Shabbat started at 4:28 — and accepted that whatever happened over those next 25 hours, I simply wouldn’t know. At Shabbat dinner in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park, my friends and I discussed trying to get access to a newspaper for Saturday morning lunch. As we saw a large crowd gather at the fountain, we thought maybe this was the moment. We ran to ask a stranger if the president JEWISHEXPONENT.COM had been declared, but there were still no answers. I’ll be honest: It was one of the hardest Shabbats to be without technology. This Saturday started like any other Shabbat morning. I got up and climbed onto my fire escape to daven Shacharit, the morning prayer service, then showered at 11 a.m. to prepare for lunch in the same downtown park where I had dinner. I was sitting in a towel delaying picking an outfit when I heard my block on St. Marks Place, among the most iconic streets in New York City, burst into screams. I heard pots banging and cheers that went on for minutes. I ran to wake up both my roommates and screamed, “I think Joe Biden won the presidency!” We rushed to get dressed, none of us knowing any official news, and made our way to the bottom of our fifth-floor walk-up. Congregating at the corner of St. Marks and Second Avenue, people were dancing in the streets, every car was honking and the cheering never watching history happen in real-time on the streets of my newfound home. This was catharsis. The community I fell in love with when I moved here three years ago had a beating heart again. People were smiling at each other on the street, everyone was out (in masks!), and we were all sharing our collective love for one another. The last four years as a woman, a queer person and a Jew has been exhausting and fearful, to say the least. But on this Shabbat morning, I watched the world truly begin to re-create itself. The work is far from over, but we can begin anew. It’s the truest meaning of Shabbat I have ever heard. Saturday, Nov. 7, is the Shabbat I will tell my children and grandchildren about one day. A moment in history so monumental that I found out purely through human experi- ence. I will tell them of the party in Washington Square Park, strangers pouring champagne, a dance party in the street, doing shots of pickle KVETCH ’N’ KVELL Riskin: Wrong About Atheists RABBI SHLOMO RISKIN made significant errors in describing atheists in his Torah commentary (“Belief Never as Important as Action,” Oct. 22) on Parshat Noach. Riskin states that “ … the atheist [is] confident in his rejec- tion of God … ” This assumes the existence of only one “God.” Atheists do not believe in the actual existence of any of the many deities that have been imagined by humans over thousands of years — only as mythic characters. Riskin goes on to confuse the concepts of “knowing” that a god (or gods) exist and “believing” that a god (or gods) exist. No one actually knows with 100% certainty; people have differences in beliefs. Riskin then states that a lack of certitude as to whether supernatural beings (gods) exist usually causes despair — a presumption without evidence. Noah is praised for following the dictates of a god that he doesn’t even believe in — the idea being that it is praiseworthy to act (follow religious rules) as if you are a believer even if you are not. But rules of which religion? By the rabbi’s logic, someone unsure of his/her faith should be lauded for killing a blasphemer or apostate, following the dictates of Islam! Glen Loev | Wayne An Absurd Term Thank you Dave Olim for calling out the absurdity of Jews using the term anti-Semitism (“Anti-Semitism an Outdated Term,” Nov. 12). It’s an example of how we Jews absorb the hatred of our enemies. This term was coined in the 1870s by a German hater of Jews as an early form of political correctness. He felt that Juden haas (hatred toward Jews) was too harsh. It’s past time to drop this term from our spoken and written language. l Henry Frank | Philadelphia Saturday, Nov. 7 is the Shabbat I will tell my children and grandchildren about one day. seemed to stop. One young family started banging pots on their fire escape. Another man stuck an American flag outside his window and started an anthem of “Bye, Bye, Bye” by NSYNC. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, and it made me fall in love with New York City again — and appreciate my Shabbat observance all the more. Seeing everyone’s unadul- terated joy was such a better way of receiving such tremen- dous news than a CNN news notification. It felt like I was juice with my rabbi because “we are Ashkenazi and that is how we celebrate.” I will tell these stories because it is the first time in four years that many New Yorkers believed freedom was possible again. No notification from any news site I spent the week refreshing could have given me that feeling. Only the communal love that was reborn in New York City that day could have given me the hope that I have now. l This piece originally appeared in JTA via Alma.

Try Making Enchiladas F O OD THIS MEAL CAME together as a result of an oversized roast chicken, but it occurs to me that this is the perfect way to use the surplus turkey you are likely have after your smaller-than-normal gathering this Thanksgiving. You would think I had adjusted to cooking for two by now, but sometimes I revert — and I foresee that no matter how small of a turkey I get, we will doubtless have leftovers. Last Sunday night, I roasted a chicken, and it was perfect. I had brined it overnight, and it was cooked to a juicy, flavorful perfection. We ate our fill and, normally, after a roast chicken dinner, I throw the bird into a pot with the drippings and make soup tomorrow. But this chicken had a lot of meat left, and it was really tasty and seemed to warrant something more than soup. I don’t want to suggest that using chicken for soup is a waste — the gallons of soup in my freezer would disagree — but this particular chicken was so tasty and so meaty that it seemed to deserve another meal before it became soup. Your Thanksgiving turkey is likely to be the same. After dinner, I picked as much meat off the chicken as I could, stored it in a container and then threw the bones and drippings into the pot as per usual to become soup.

I have written before about repurposing leftovers in such a way that the second act does not resemble the original in flavor or appearance, and that makes them all the more appealing.

JEWISHEXPONENT.COM JEWISH EXPONENT NOVEMBER 19, 2020 17 L ifestyles /C ulture Sophia Loren Makes Triumphant Return in Netflix’s ‘The Life Ahead’ ARTS SOPHIE PANZER | JE STAFF ACTOR SOPHIA LOREN broke a 10-year absence from the screen with her starring role in Netflix’s new drama “The Life Ahead.” The film is the second adaptation of Romain Gary’s 1975 novel “The Life Before Us,” and was directed by Loren’s son, Edoardo Ponti. It tells the story of a friendship between an elderly Holocaust survivor and a Senegalese orphan she takes into her home. The 86-year-old Loren is vibrant as Madame Rosa, a former prostitute who survived Auschwitz and now grapples with her failing health. She takes care of other sex workers’ children, including the son of her friend Lola, played by the charming Abril Zamora. Child actor Ibrahima Gueye plays Momo, the drug-dealing 12-year- old who robs Madame Rosa at the beginning of the film. She takes him in reluctantly at the request of Renato Carpentieri’s grandfatherly Dr. Coen. Loren portrays Madame Rosa with grit and vulnera- bility. After suffering incredible hardship, the character is still capable of great compassion, which she bestows on her charges in the form of tough love and sincere affection. Perhaps the best example of this is her decision to put Momo in contact with Babak Karimi’s Hamil, a widower who owns a shop in their neighborhood. She asks him to give Momo work in the shop a few times a week, a move which initially seems like an attempt to get the boy out of her hair. However, it proves to be a calculated move, as Hamil is a Muslim man of faith who encourages Momo to explore his heritage. He asks him to 18 NOVEMBER 19, 2020 help him repair a rug depicting a lion, which he tells Momo is a powerful symbol in the Quran. Madame Rosa, who survived the Nazi’s attempt to destroy her heritage by force, does not intend to let Momo lose his heritage through neglect. When memories of her past threaten to overwhelm her, Madame Rosa retreats to the basement of her apartment, where she listens to music and looks at photographs from her life before the war. She has survived everything the outside world could throw at her, but soon begins to strain under the burden of her own mental decline. She stares blankly into space while Momo and Iosif try to get her attention, hallucinates about past horrors and wanders away from her friends when she loses touch with reality. When she realizes the end is near, she asks Momo to promise not to let her die in a hospital, for fear of “experiments” by doctors. Momo does not understand Madame Rosa’s past, having never heard of the Holocaust (he is confused by the numbers of her arm and refers to Auschwitz as “House witch”), nor does he understand the cause of her strange behavior. He does, however, under- stand that something horrible happened to her, and that she puts her trust in him. The relationship between the caretaker and her troubled charge is one of several moving, well-developed connections in the film. Iosif Diego Pirvu’s Iosif, a boy whose mother left him in Madame Rosa’s care, and Momo begin their relationship as bitter enemies after Momo barges into Iosif’s room and plops on the bed with his shoes on. They eventually bond over the absence of both their mothers and their shared concerns over the deterioration Sophia Loren co-stars with Ibrahima Gueye in Netflix’s “The Life Ahead.” Courtesy of Netflix. There’s nothing subtle about this film, which is not necessarily a bad quality in a classic tearjerker. of Madame Rosa’s health, which they watch with the confusion of children whose lives have demanded maturity beyond their years. Soon, Momo is helping Iosif with his studies and sleeping next to him when he misses his mother, even as he tells him that she is never coming back. When Iosif’s mother returns, Momo lashes out, consumed by his own jealousy and grief. Iosif attempts to comfort him, and Momo rejects him, leading to a bitter goodbye. The two boys, played with incredible emotional acuity by Gueye and Pirvu, could have had a film all to themselves. The friendship between Madame Rosa and Lola is also a pleasure to watch. Although there is little information about how they met or what they have been through together, audiences JEWISH EXPONENT can sense the history between them and the love they have for each other. Lola’s storyline incorporates her identity as a transgender woman without fetishizing it, with nods to how her wife left her to raise their son alone and her anxiety about visiting her father, who previ- ously rejected her. There’s nothing subtle about this film, which is not neces- sarily a bad quality in a classic tearjerker. However, there are moments when it all just feels a bit too much: Momo’s narration, which contains a lot of flowery similes and metaphors about the nature of life and loss, would have been better incorporated into dialogue or left out entirely. The phone given to Momo by his drug dealer boss goes off in Madame Rosa’s presence with the predictability of Chekhov’s gun. A scene featuring Italian police separating migrant parents from their children during a raid is meant to allude to Madame Rosa’s past and Momo’s immigrant parents, but it feels too rushed. Nevertheless, Loren’s regal performance and Gueye’s youthful intensity make this film worth watching. Netflix has provided dubs in several languages, but it is best to watch with subtitles in the original Italian, since the dialogue feels stiff and insin- cere in English. There is also something delightful about Dr. Coen reminding Madame Rosa that Momo is only a “bambino” and Iosif describing his caretaker’s basement as her “Batcaverna,” or Batcave. l spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM L ifestyles /C ulture Comedian Cory Kahaney Tackles Marriage, Family and Aging in Katz JCC Performance ARTS SOPHIE PANZER | JE STAFF STAND-UP COMEDY is a tough business in the era of pandemic shutdowns and limits on live performances. That hasn’t prevented Jewish comedians like Cory Kahaney from taking to the stage virtually. On Nov. 14, Kahaney performed an evening set for the 31st Katz JCC Bank of America Festival of Arts, Books and Culture. The festival, which is based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, runs from Nov. 8 to Nov. 19 and features authors, speakers and performers from around the country. Festival Director Shonnie Lebovitz said turnout has been high due to the audience’s increasing comfort with technology. So far, the record for most devices tuned in to a festival event is 193. Kahaney is based in New York and has performed frequently in Philadelphia. She was a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and the 2016 season of “America’s Got Talent.” She has stand-up specials on Comedy Central and HBO and runs the monthly Ruthless Comedy Hour on her website (the title references the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg). “It’s very feminist, it’s very liberal and it’s basically Jewish-mom humor,” she said in a separate interview. During her festival perfor- mance, Kahaney joked about her two marriages, her relationship with her children, her body, online shopping and more. She read a fake review she left on Amazon for a $15 hat her husband became obsessed with and talked about JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Cory Kahaney Photo by Sue Barr It’s basically Jewish-mom humor.” CORY KANANEY the time she spent an hour making up promo codes to try to get a discount. “I just typed in ‘Up yours!’ and I got 15% off,” she said. She advised one audience member to go to Trader Joe’s if she ever felt like she wasn’t being heard in her marriage. “I go to that cash register at Trader Joe’s and the woman will look at me with so much empathy,” she said. “She’ll say, ‘Hi, did you find everything you were looking for?’ And I suddenly feel vulnerable and say, ‘I never got unconditional love from my mother.’ And she’ll say, ‘Oh, did you look in frozen?’” She also joked about the pressure she was under to marry a Jewish man after her sister came out as a lesbian to her conserva- tive parents: “My mother was hysterical. She said, ‘We’ll never dance at her wedding!’ And my father was like, ‘Shut up, we just saved 50 grand.’” Other highlights included her mother’s apocalyptic texting style, her husband’s inability to throw anything away, the high price of private college and Manhattan preschools, and the age of her genitals. “What I have is a classic. Some people call it a collector’s item,” she said to uproarious laughter. The show was filmed on the platform StreamYard, which allowed some audience members to appear on screen with Kahaney. She took advan- tage of the opportunity to connect with the crowd, asking questions and riffing on their lives during several bits. Kahaney said making the transition to virtual shows was relatively easy because she focuses more on joke writing than on physical comedy, and crowd work has also translated pretty smoothly. “I’ll be in the middle of a joke that’s a little bit racy and I’ll go, ‘You know what I’m talking about, Myrna!’” she said. “I don’t offend anybody’s decor or JEWISH EXPONENT whatever, I’m more looking for opportunities to connect.” Hecklers haven’t been daunted by the virtual format, either. Kahaney said she usually listens to what they have to say and only cuts them off if they interrupt too much. “Now I’m in an area of material where they want to contribute, or they disagree,” she said. She believes it’s possible to make fun of the pandemic, and often incorporates COVID jokes that tackle masks, anxiety and loneliness. “We can make fun of stuff like, you know, we pretend to be more obsessed with COVID so that we can get the elevator all to ourselves,” she said. “Or, have you ever been so desperate to find a mask that you needed to go into the store to pick up one thing that you used one you found on the sidewalk?” Lebovitz said Kahaney’s performance provided a form of entertainment that has been particularly difficult to access this year. “We always love to do something that is fun or funny, and this year it’s as important as ever to do that,” she said. “So we were looking for someone who would be a nice fit for our community. We are thrilled that Cory is willing to do this, we know this is a tough time for comedians right now and we are truly honored.” l spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 Name: Elana Collection Width: 3.625 in Depth: 5.5 in Color: Black plus one Comment: JE - Frequent Flyer Ad Number: 00091793 NOVEMBER 19, 2020 19 T orah P ortion CAN DL E L IGHTIN G Digging Your Own Well BY RABBI ALAN ISER Parshat Toldot MUCH OF HIS LIFE, the patriarch Isaac appears to be a passive figure in the events that swirl around him: his near sacrifice at the hands of his father; a marriage match with a cousin; and the deception and “stealing” of the blessing for the firstborn, intended for Esau, by his wife and son. As the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks characterized him, he is the least original of the three patriarchs. He is not a spiri- tual pioneer like Abraham, nor does his life have dramatic ups and downs like Jacob. In our Torah portion, Isaac even has a similar dispute over wells with the Philistines as did Truck Continued from Page 10 students, has helped Harris and Wallace with licensing, permits, marketing and social media, even after his graduation from Penn. On Nov. 8, Whitehorn was on hand at Clark Park, helping out as a cashier. Harris and Wallace have “big dreams” for what Grassroots can be, Whitehorn said. “Troy and Kareem are both very inspirational people,” said Whitehorn. “The hope with Grassroots, it was always to have a social justice mission, and part of it was trying to employ Philadelphians from traditionally under-served communities and just bring light to different issues that they may face.” Elana Burack serves on the Grassroots advisory board with Whitehorn, having begun her association with the group as an undergraduate and carried that into her time as a master’s student at Penn.

Indeed, the Torah reports that initially Isaac dug anew the wells Abraham had unearthed that the Philistines then stopped up, giving the wells the same names as did his father (Genesis 26:18). But Isaac finally manages to dig new wells to which he gives his own names, Esek (contention) and Sitnah (harassment) The Philistines quarrel with him over the first two of these Isaac wells, but finally desist when he digs the third, named Rehovot. Rabbi Simchah Bunem of Psciche, one of the early Chasidic masters, sees great significance in this seemingly mundane story. Isaac first re-digs Abraham’s wells, that is to say, attempts to follow his father’s spiritual path. However, just imitating someone else will not work. Isaac then discovers that he needs to find his own way to God, and thus digs his own wells. Every Jew must approach the service of God by digging a well with their own essence and, thereby, cling to the creator. At first, this well may not work for your own soul, thus Isaac’s first two wells are the subjects of disputes with the Philistines, which represent contentious forces within Isaac himself in his search for his identity. In other words, he must overcome his own inner demons and conflicts. Finally, through persistence, he arrives at his rightful destination, Rehovot, literally spaciousness or wide open, the place where his conflicts are resolved and he achieves wholeness. taking classes remotely, she wasn’t able to make The Chosen Mitbach’s debut, but she hopes to get a taste of what she’s been working on in the coming months. Even from afar, she can’t help but gush about the project and its principals. “Every time I’m on a call, I walk away feeling so inspired and humbled,” Burack said. She feels proud to contribute to the creation of a Black-owned business, and to strengthen ties between Jewish students at Penn and the people who call West Philadelphia home. Hannah Bookbinder, an academic coach and college admissions consultant in Penn Valley, first heard about the project through her teenage son, Zachary, who read about Azir’s paralysis. Since then, Bookbinder has come to consider Harris and Wallace friends, and serves on the Grassroots advisory board. Though she too couldn’t make it to the opening, Harris and Wallace’s perseverance inspired her and her family from afar; she spoke to Harris on the phone after they’d packed up for the day on Nov. 8. The experience has been “eye-opening for me as a human being,” Bookbinder said. The Jewish community that rallied around the truck has been out in full force at the first two days of Grassroots (they rolled out again on Nov. 15), and to Harris, it’s only a continuation of the support that he and Wallace have received since the beginning. They’ll need it now, too; back in August, they were furloughed without pay from their jobs at Falk Dining Commons.

Only when Isaac has achieved his own spiritual identity in the course of his life’s journey does God speak directly to him. There are several lessons for us today from Isaac’s digging of the wells. It is important, like Isaac, to be a link in the chain of tradition; not all of us can be bold innovators like Abraham. But we cannot stop there.

The shooter wrote in a manifesto that he was acting against a Hispanic “invasion.” Anti-Hispanic hate crimes, according to the FBI, rose 9% in 2019, the fourth straight year they’ve risen.

The ADL also said that the number of agencies reporting hate crimes to the FBI has declined each year. “We have an incomplete picture,” Greenblatt said. “That being said, I think the trends over two decades are telling. Hate remains a reality for people from marginalized communities in this country, particularly Jews, who repre- sent somewhere between 1.5 and 2% of the population and [experience] a disproportionate number of the hate crimes.” Greenblatt said the ADL hopes the incoming Biden administration will support increased anti-bias education in schools and work on a plan to confront white nationalism. “Extremists feel emboldened, and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and anti-Jewish ideas generally are taking root,” he said. “Jews feel less safe. Jews are extremely worried about this.” l JEWISHEXPONENT.COM COMMUNITY NEWS The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia mobilizes financial and volunteer resources to address the communities’ most critical priorities locally, in Israel and around the world. WHEN COVID-19 HIT, mental and behavioral health service providers like Jewish Family & Children’s Services faced an immediate challenge: They needed to figure out a way to shift to a pandemic-friendly service model, fast. “We closed our offices on a Friday knowing that, on Monday, services needed to continue without interruption,” said Courtney Owen, director of Individual and Family Services at JFCS. “And we were able to do it.” By rapidly scaling up their telehealth operations — such as HIPPA-compliant Zoom rooms — JFCS was able to continue offering all of their services, such as mental health counseling and care management. But that victory was followed by the realization that many of the vulnerable people they work with, such as low income seniors, were suddenly facing immediate threats to basic needs like food and shelter. “Help from the Jewish Federation’s Emergency Fund made a big difference in meeting those basic needs,” said Owen. “In general, the Federation has been really great and flexible in allowing us to make the transitions we needed to continue services.” Our Emergency Fund is our COVID-response initiative to help our partner agencies meet community needs during the pandemic. So far, we have raised and allocated over $2 million to organizations in the Philadelphia area. In addition to basic needs grants, our Emergency Fund also helped to fund an additional therapist, which Owen said was sorely needed, as the number of people seeking counseling has rapidly increased. “Every population and age range is experiencing increased stress, albeit in different ways,” said Owen. “Parents are having to make decisions about their kids’ risk factors. Older adults aren’t able to see their families. Younger people are at an increased risk of suicide and depression.” Alessandro Biascioli Getty images Meeting Mental Health Needs During COVID To address this, JFCS has introduced special programming to help people deal with issues around COVID. This includes a bereavement group for those who have lost loved ones to the disease, financial empowerment groups that support those who have lost a job, and informational sessions about benefits which are streamed online. Still, JFCS says their work isn’t done. “Even though the need has increased, we know from looking at the data that it’s only going to go up,” said Owen. “We know we need to be prepared to meet it as it comes.” Sigd Celebrations: The Ethiopian Jewish Community and Philly’s Special Connection to It AT SUNDOWN ON NOV. 15, exactly 50 days after Yom Kippur, one of the Jewish world’s most important — but less well-known — holidays began: Sigd. Celebrated by the Ethiopian Jewish community (also known as Beta Israel), Sigd commemorates the day when G-d revealed himself to Moses. On this holiday, Ethiopian Jews fast, read scripture, and pray for the restoration of the Temple. The holiday culminates with dancing and a special meal to break the fast. In Israel, Sigd is an official state holiday and is used as a way to celebrate the Ethiopian community. While Ethiopian Jews make up some of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, they are relatively recent immigrants to Israel. Banned by the Ethiopian government from making aliyah, Beta Israel Jews risked everything to come to Israel through a series of daring airlift missions that began in the 1980s. Today, there are 120,00 Jews of Ethiopian descent living in Israel. While JEWISHEXPONENT.COM they still face discrimination and barriers to assimilation, Ethiopian Jews have become an integral part of the fabric of Israeli life, rising to high positions in pop culture, industry and government. Here in Philadelphia, we are lucky to have a connection to the Beta Israel community through our partnership region of Netivot and Sdot Negev. Located in Israel’s southern tip, our partnership region is a vibrant and diverse area filled with recent olim (immigrants), including a significant Ethiopian population.

CALL 215-832-0749 JEWISH EXPONENT JEWISHEXPONENT.COM O PINION Stone Continued from Page 14 online spaces for campers and counselors, maintaining their magic. We surged. Did we reset? Many of us did not. Th e impact of this lack of recovery is something we call surge fatigue — a decreasing ability to act swift ly and decisively. Teachers tell me of administration requests that would have been easy a year ago that are simply impossible now. Call another parent? I CANNOT. Learn another program? BEYOND ME. Attend another meeting? ARE YOU KIDDING? Coupled with surge fatigue is pressure to be cheerful and optimistic. Look, I know there are places and times for optimism. But teachers and clergy are talking about toxic positivity — the endless cheeriness and happy support which leaves no room for my exhaustion, my sense of being overwhelmed, my grief. A group of teachers I met with recently talked about how their administration keeps saying, “You’ve got this,” making it nearly impossible to say, “No, I don’t.” Th ere should be no shame in our exhaustion, our grief. We need to know that we cannot do as much in month 8 as we could in month 1. We need to set the bar lower and accept that we cannot do what we did pre-COVID. We need to be allowed — and allow ourselves — to do less, to feel like it’s harder. We need to support each other when we’re down, not demand happy faces. Zoom fatigue, surge fatigue, decision fatigue, election fatigue, COVID fatigue, racial injustice fatigue, loneliness fatigue, family fatigue. Give yourself — and those around you — a break. Do less and be satisfi ed with what you can achieve. Say no. Don’t ask so much — of you or anyone else. It’s OK to be imperfect. It’s always been OK to be imperfect. Th is reset could take a while, but we need it to be able to move forward. ● Betsy S. Stone, Ph.D., is a retired psychologist who currently teaches as an adjunct lecturer at HUC- JIR.
