Th e only diff erence will be that she’ll step onto Jamison Avenue as a retiree. Malis, 68, joined FELS as a preschool teacher in 1971, predating the name “FELS” by decades (it was still Federation Day Care Services then). Moving from teaching to administration, and from administration to leadership, Malis became CEO of the sprawling day care network — which sprawled even more under her leadership — in 1999. “I am grateful to the entire FELS community for such a long and rewarding career,” Malis wrote in a memo to staff , who were notifi ed of Malis’ decision to retire about six months ago. “Our work has not only benefi ted the families we serve; our contributions have had a notable impact on the early education community in our region and throughout A Jordanian press photo shows the aircraft that were blown up by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on Sept. 12, 1970.

He considered asking the fl ight staff to question him, since there had been a string of hijackings throughout the summer, but ultimately decided against it.

The first-ever Instagram posts were made that year; “Tik Tok” was merely the name of Kesha’s chart-topping single; and the Phillies made the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year, if you want to get a sense for what a truly dissimilar planet it was. To keep up with a world that keeps on turning, Tribe 12, dedicated to facilitating Jewish community engage- ment for locals in their 20s and 30s, added seven new board members — five of them in the same age range as their target audience. Mara Swift, Nuriya Neumann, Adam Wodka, Carly Zimmerman, Jeffrey Hurok, Kimberly Decker and Jacob Lindy joined Tribe 12’s board of directors on Sept. 30. And Rachel Dukeman began as the new board president. “We believe in building a board of directors that is based on skills, diverse perspectives and potential, not reliant on age or wealth,” Dukeman said. “This will help us build a board that is based on equity rather than privilege.” Ross Berkowitz, founder and CEO of Tribe 12, stressed that the addition of new members to the board does not represent a total reconstitution; in fact, Tribe 12’s bylaws allow for up to 24 board members, and the new seven will join members of different ages, perspectives and identities than their own. Adding board members whose experiences are closer to those of their constituents, he believes, is just one part of creating a well-rounded board. “It’s that diversity of thought, that diversity of perspective that they can bring to really support the 4 OCTOBER 1, 2020 Ross Berkowitz, founder and CEO of Tribe 12 Photo by Yael Pachino Photography Carly Zimmerman, a seasoned veteran of the Jewish community engagement scene in Philadelphia, will join the board of Tribe 12.

Zimmerman, 32, is already a seasoned veteran of the Jewish community engagement scene in Philadelphia. With leader- ship positions at Challah for Hunger, Hillel at Temple University, Jewish Farm School and BBYO under her belt, Zimmerman, an alum of Tribe 12’s Fellowship program, was an obvious choice. Age, Zimmerman said, is not the sole determinant of skill or ability. In the case of Tribe 12, though, she and the other board members believe that their similarities with fellows and the young Jews that the organization works with will help to develop more exciting programming. “To be able to understand the experiences that our particular demographic and audience is experiencing, and able to speak to them first- hand, rather than just sort of go off with maybe one or two people’s stories or ideas or news articles that you hear about millennials, in general, is really, really helpful,” she said. JEWISH EXPONENT Dukeman said that the cultural familiarity that will link the board members and the constituents will serve as a bit of a timesaver; there’s less “trans- lation” to be done between generations, in her view. Being just 10 years old, Tribe 12’s board, Dukeman said, is in a transitional phase alongside the organization itself. “The board had to shift from being more of an advisory, donating, philan- thropic figure to being a little bit more hands-on, able to govern, and still clearly has a very high fundraising and fiduciary responsibility,” she said. “We’re making sure that the programs are reflective of what our audience needs are, and making sure that we have the right staff and professional capacity to meet those needs.” Like Dukeman, 36, and Zimmerman, Lindy, 34, has a longstanding prior association with the organization. He even met his wife, Rachel, through a mutual friend who was a part of Tribe 12. There’s also the fact that his grandparents, Phillip and Annabel Lindy, provided the financial support and enthusiasm for Tribe 12 that first got it off of the ground. Tribe 12 has been a part of his life for a long time, and Lindy is excited by the prospect of being more intimately involved in its future success. “I’d like to see it grow and really be a strong program for a long time,” he said. l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM From Our Family to your family L’shana Tovah! “May you be inscribed in the book of life” As the generations of your family gather to observe and celebrate the High Holy Days; it is an important time to reflect on the events of this past year and consider what the future may bring.

The Oak Hill Terrace Apartment resident was one of 150 people displaced after a two-alarm fire damaged the Penn Valley complex’s south building on May 24. She was also one of three people injured and hospitalized during the blaze. “This was the most devas- tating thing that ever happened to me in my life, and I feel like I’m never going to get over it. It really scarred me, physically and mentally,” she said. Her apartment is uninhab- itable. When she went back to the building at the beginning of the month, she was shocked at how bad the damage was. “There were no walls, no ceiling, nothing,” she said. Four months after the fire, some of the physical damage to the building has been repaired, and residents, many of whom are Jewish, are slowly beginning to move back. Others will have to wait much longer before their homes are safe to inhabit. “We have made significant progress and residents have begun to move back into their homes,” property manager Gary van Niekirk said in an email, adding that he couldn’t comment further on post-fire issues. Susan Baron, an adver- tising account executive at the Jewish Exponent who lives in the damaged building, said Oak Hill’s property manage- ment sent out a newsletter that claimed half the displaced residents would be able to return at the end of September. She is not one of them. Her unit was contami- nated by smoke and failed two hygienist inspections before passing a third on Sept. 25. More cleaning and repairs are needed before she can move back in. David Lane and his wife Patty Lane moved back into the building Sept. 26 after living in another apartment building they found through their insurance company. Their Oak Hill unit sustained minimal damage, but it still had to undergo several clean- ings and inspections before it was declared safe to inhabit. “First, they make you get someone to move all your furniture into the middle of the room, and they clean the Firefighters at the scene of the Oak Hill fire on May 24 Photo by Susan Baron The second floor of the building Photo by David Lane ceiling, the walls and the furni- ture, if necessary. Then you have to put it back and they clean the middle of the room, and then they come in and they start testing,” David Lane said. He said that while units like his on the fourth floor have been declared safe, the second floor was almost completely destroyed. “To this day, if you walk in there you can take the elevator up to the second floor, and it’s cinder block. It’s just cinder block. Some of those people won’t be moving back for another six months.” He added that many of his neighbors are afraid to come back. “It’s emotionally distressing, and there’s a number of people that may not be able to move back to Oak Hill,” he said. Resident Susan Gilmore said she was traumatized by the fire and feels anxious when she has to return to the building. She started seeing a psychia- trist and taking medication for intense anxiety. “I’ve never had anxiety like that, ever. And I’m still suffering from that,” she said. “If I had a situation with anxiety, I knew exactly how to deal with it, but this is way beyond that.” She stayed with her daughter’s family for six weeks after the fire See Oak Hill, Page 21 Name: Elana Collection Width: 9.25 in Depth: 3.62 in Color: Black plus one Comment: JE Ad Number: 00091602 6 OCTOBER 1, 2020 JEWISH EXPONENT JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Y DA O pply y T /a pl edu Ap yu.

ANTHONY Williams didn’t pull any punches on Sept. 23 when discussing bigotry in the United States: He’s embar- rassed by what he sees. “We are quickly becoming the non-envy of the world,” he said. Williams was one of several dignitaries speaking at a “Stand Against Bigotry” press conference hosted by Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation at the Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial, and he was clearly the most blunt. “We are at the crossroads of another civil war in this country,” he said. “My 7-year- old grandson was born to a place I don’t recognize.” Williams recognized the efforts underway to fight racism, anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry — efforts he said don’t go nearly far enough. “The fact that we have friends of different ethnic backgrounds will not win the fight,” he said. “We have to get off the sidelines and get into the streets.” Williams referred to the anti-Semitic social media posts that drew headlines this summer by Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson and former Philadelphia NAACP President Rodney Muhammad, saying the former was more troubling Stand Against Bigotry participants place stones on the Monument to Six Million Jewish Martyrs at the Horwitz- Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Center City. are proud sponsors of the HALLEE & DAVID ADELMAN FEDERATION are JEWISH proud sponsors of the JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA’S OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA’S MAIN EVENT!

Anthony Williams — Jackson is a young man with a platform to influence others — because it’s a sign that educational efforts are failing. “If he was properly educated, he never would have posted that,” Williams said. That theme cropped up a couple times during the 35-minute event. “Our No. 1 enemy is ignorance,” said Bishop J. Louis Felton, senior pastor at Mt. Airy Church of God in Christ. “Ignorance is a deep resistance to knowledge.” “The younger generations are not connected to their history,” said Eszter Kutas, executive director of the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation. “History does not have to repeat itself.” And there are ample oppor- tunities to teach, Attorney General Josh Shapiro said. “This is a moment in time when we can reach into our teaching ... and realize each of us has an obligation to do our part,” he said. Anti-Defamation League Philadelphia Regional Director Photos by Andy Gotlieb Shira Goodman noted that hate is something that is learned, not something that’s innate. “The good news is that it can be unlearned,” she said. City Councilman and real estate developer Allan Domb spent a couple of minutes detailing his background, describing his fa mi ly’s immigration from Poland and a childhood incident of anti- Semitism in Fort Lee, New Jersey, where a landlord evicted his family and two other Jewish families after his mother complained about having no hot water. David Adelman, who chairs the Holocaust Remembrance Foundation and is the co-chair of the board of directors of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, said a concerning trend is the number of people who acknowledge there’s a problem with hatred yet do nothing about it. “The most harmful words are ‘not my problem,’” he said. l agotlieb@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0797 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines Art Therapist Myra Levick Dies at 96 OB ITUARY SOPHIE PANZER | JE STAFF Photo by Bonnie Cossrow. to do, even in the ’50s and ’60s,” Cossrow said.

Her family and colleagues remember her dedication to the people she loved and her visionary personality. “She was a feminist before there was feminism. She was a pioneer,” Cossrow said. “We were so influenced by her, we learned to follow our dreams and be very comfortable in our own skin because she was in hers.” l M PHILADELPHIA NATIVE Myra Levick was a pioneer in the field of art therapy — the practice of using creative outlets to promote mental healing. “The art therapist does not interpret,” she said during an interview with 6ABC in March 2019. “The important thing is for someone to appreciate their own artwork and understand it.” The artist and clinical psychologist died Sept. 16 of complications from a seizure at the Abramson Center for Jewish Life in North Wales. She was 96. She married her high school sweetheart, Leonard Levick, when she was 19 and he was 23. The couple lived in Mt. Airy with their three daughters. “We were members of the Mount Airy Jewish Community Center. The rabbi at that time was Aaron Gold, and my parents were very close friends with Rabbi Gold and his wife,” Levick’s daughter Bonnie Cossrow said. Myra Levick agreed to work to send her husband to medical school on the condition that he would, in turn, send her to art school so she could pursue her own career. He became a physi- cian and made good on his word — she attended Moore College of Art & Design 17 years later. She earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from Moore, then earned a master’s degree in educa- tion from Temple University and a Ph.D. in psychology from Bryn Mawr College. In the 1960s, psychoanalyst Morris Goldman hired her to work with his patients at Albert Einstein Medical Center North and later at what was then Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital.

The assumption in his family had always been that Sheindle and Mordechai Sova were shot at Babyn Yar (often spelled “Babi Yar”), a ravine on Kyiv’s outskirts where German troops massacred at least 33,000 Jews in September 1941 in one of the largest massacres of the Holocaust. But beyond that, he was unable to unearth any further details, even after attempting to research the subject in the Kyiv city archives. As he grew older, the uncertainty began to have a psychological effect on him. “I would get physically ill whenever I needed to pass near Babyn Yar,” he said. But in recent months, Kulakov, a 45-year-old linguist who lives near Kyiv with his wife and three children, has been able to fill in many of the blanks thanks to a new research project led by the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center, an organiza- tion established in 2016 to build a Holocaust museum in Kyiv. The center’s Names project — which began last year and has led to the identification of 800 Babyn Yar victims whose fates had been previously unknown — provided Kulakov with the couple’s former address, age, place of burial, as well as the terrible specifics of their final hours. The lack of such identi- fying details is not unusual for Holocaust victims from present-day Ukraine, where some 1.5 million Jews were killed by firing squad between 1941 and 1943, often with minimal paperwork. Ukraine’s so-called “Holocaust by bullets” 10 OCTOBER 1, 2020 happened more sporadically, rapidly and chaotically than in the death camps. There is so little information on what happened at Babyn Yar that the total death toll — including Jews, psychiatric patients, prisoners of war, suspected Ukrainian nationalists and communists — ranges between 70,000 and 100,000 victims. The Names project has so far collected data on about 18,000 people who were killed at Babyn Yar. Of those, only a few thousand have comprehen- sive person files. Information on many of the others is patchy, sometimes limited to nothing more than their names, according to Alexander Belikov, a senior researcher at the center. The paucity owes to a mix of factors, including the lack of German documentation, massive wartime damage to Kyiv’s archives, decades of obfuscation when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, and an outdated archiving methodology that downplayed the importance of individual stories. “In the Soviet period, and also sometimes after that, the histor- ical methodology in Ukraine placed very little emphasis on individuals, despite the early efforts of some researchers to give victims a face,” Belikov said. When Kulakov consulted archives for traces of his great-grandparents, all he found was a Soviet-era registry of civilian war casualties that listed their last name, last known address, year of birth and two serial numbers: 1868 and 1869. “It didn’t even have their first names,” he recalled. Thanks to the project, Kulakov learned that his great-grandparents were wholesale food merchants, traveling often to arrange shipments from the country- side to the city. On one such trip, during the Holodomor famine of 1932, they took in a starving girl whose mother Stray dogs roam the Babyn Yar monument in Kyiv, where Nazis and local collaborators murdered more than 30,000 Jews in 1941. Cnaan Liphshiz via JTA.org Mordechai and Sheindle Sova were shot in 1941 on a central street of Kyiv, Ukraine, and buried in a ditch after they ignored the order to gather to be murdered at Babyn Yar. Courtesy of Igor Kulakov and the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center via JTA.org could no longer support her. The research also helped ascertain that Mordechai and Sheindle didn’t die at Babyn Yar after all. They had disobeyed the order to report for deportation which, in reality, was a call for Jews to be rounded up for murder. They were betrayed to police in October 1941 and executed on the spot, but not before the woman whose daughter they saved convinced them to part with their own daughter Freuda, Kulakov’s grandmother. Their burial place is on Nyzhnii Val Street in Podil, a neighborhood in the center of Kyiv not far from their last known address. Researchers were able to pull together this story by following leads to locate information in physical archives across Ukraine. They also use various search algorithms to mine JEWISH EXPONENT digitized archives. Some of the information about Mordechai and Sheindle came from a tip that led to archives in the Ukrainian city of Fastiv, which turned out to be where the Sovas bought their products. “We’ll interview relatives to get leads, and then cross reference that with relevant archives,” Belikov said. Other victims whom the project lifted out of anonymity include Aba Yakovlevich and Clara Abramovna Kaganovich, a Jewish couple who were 48 when they were murdered at Babyn Yar. In the weeks following the Nazi invasion, they used their connections — Aba was a prominent jurist — to get their only daughter and her newly married husband a spot aboard a train headed for Russia. Having achieved that, they made no further attempts to escape themselves, their file states.

I was able to hand in that check before the school year started. These kids can have that COVID-safe playground, and I can still work there. JESSE BERNSTEIN | JE STAFF TEENAGERS DON’T typically spend a lot of time thinking about their legacies. Impressions, sure, but legacies are a decidedly less frequent topic of thought and discussion. Aidan Nadell, a 17-year old senior at Upper Dublin High School, is one of the exceptions that prove the rule. Nadell, stuck at home like everyone else during the pandemic, wanted to bring together the threads of his life into something positive. So, gathering up the skills he’d learned through his extracurricular activity (Future Business Leaders of America), his volunteer work (Philly Friendship Circle) and his job (Chabad Garden School, in Fort Washington), Nadell started the Spread Smiles Movement, selling apparel and accessories with prominently displayed smile designs in order to raise $5,000 for a “coronavirus-conscien- tious” playground at the Chabad Garden School over 12 months. Nadell quickly blew past that goal, and has other Philadelphia-area organi- zations in mind for the Aidan Nadell destination of the Spread Smiles Movement’s next $5,000. Nadell doesn’t leave for college until next year, so there may be other charitable organizations reaping the benefits before he goes. What is the Spread Smiles Movement? And how does it connect to the work the to the fundraising work you’ve done with Chabad?

I’m going to Ursinus College to study business adminis- tration and entrepreneurship. This passion project of mine is kind of a pioneering project for me; I want to be able to take my love for kindness, love for perspective, love for making a difference in the places that shaped me, and be able to create businesses out of it. The Spread Smiles Movement — I’m going to take it as far as people are willing to support it. That’s why I had committed to the next chapter. I don’t want to just stop at the $5,000 if there’s potential to make more. I told you about the Share Food Program? next $5,000. It is the largest food bank in the Philadelphia region. I’m dedicating it to my guidance counselor, who, through 25 years of service at Upper Dublin — I’ve been with her for seven years, and just like how Chabad has really shaped who I am, so has she with the academic side of things. And food insecurity is also a very meaningful and potent cause right now, there’s a lot more food insecurity going on. And they’re tripling their efforts. So any dollar counts and every dollar counts. What’s the most exciting thing about the Spread Smiles Movement? It’s amazing that, whether you know me, whether you know my movement or not, you are able to recognize and appreciate the message, you’re able to have your day lifted a little bit. Just to be able to see that and be able to see that, to touch and impact of people that I haven’t even heard of, I don’t even know — it’s just wonderful. l promote positivity, philanthropy and perspective during today’s uncertainty. I sell “smiling” products, such as shirts, masks, bracelets, stickers — you name it. The goal was to be able to raise $5,000 in 12 months to be able to leave a legacy behind at Chabad Garden School, and to have a piece of the playground named after me, for when I’m in college, and I’m not no longer working Tell me a little bit more with the kids there.

I feel so fortunate for having spent years — even decades — with such compassionate, dedicated professionals, many of whom I consider family.” Malis was forthcoming about the strangeness of it all. “I’m not old enough to be anywhere for 50 years,” she laughed. Malis’ career is as decorated as it is lengthy. She’s won countless grants for FELS, and created departments within the organization that make it what it is today. She’s opened up new branches to serve new popula- tions, and kept educational standards at an award-winning level. Malis has overseen Child Care Information Services Northeast, a body that authorizes subsi- dized child care to thousands of residents of Northeast Philadelphia. She was co-chair of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Child Care Coalition, served as a board member and officer for the Pennsylvania Child Care Association and sat on United Way’s Early Childhood Education Advisory Committee. She’s a graduate of the Wexner Tri-State Jewish Leadership 12 OCTOBER 1, 2020 FELS CEO Maddy Malis will retire on Oct. 9. program, and she’s overseen the education of thousands of young children. “It’s truly an accomplish- ment that she’s A) with an organization that long, and B) that it has grown to what it has become,” said Ron Perilstein, a longtime member of the FELS board and a past chairman. Courtesy of FELS “She has made her mark and she will leave her mark on this community, and on the early childhood education commu- nity, not only in Philadelphia, but across the state.” Pamela Thomas, who has been vice president and chief financial officer in her 12 years with FELS, calls Malis “the sidewalk doctor,” a refer- ence to Malis’ propensity to let you know that you should get medical problems checked out. But more than that, she believes, Malis’ legacy is as a true leader of the people around her. “She is more than just the CEO,” Thomas said. “She actually cares about everyone that works under her, with her, and always tries to bring everyone along to meet the goals of the organization.” Malis grew up in Northeast Philadelphia, attending Gilbert Spruance Elementary School. Her father, Jerome Ralph Malis, worked for a lumber company; now 96, he still works there. Encouragement from “Mrs. Mandy,” Malis’ fourth-grade teacher, put her on the path to JEWISH EXPONENT Maddy Malis during her early years at what is now the Paley Early Learning Center Courtesy of Maddy Malis education as a vocation and, within a few years, Malis was running her own day camp, scooping up 10 toddlers from around the neighborhood for a few hours of story time, games, Kool-Aid and art projects. After finishing a program at Temple University in child care, Malis began her career as a teacher at what is now the Paley Early Learning Center. Paley was a Jewish Federation project and, in the early 1970s, it was folded into Federation Day Care Services. Soon after that merger, Malis’ talents for organization were noted by Norman Finkel, who was CEO then. Finkel encouraged her to join the administration and nurtured her career for as long as he was with FELS. Finkel’s ideas about what a work environ- ment should be — “a tight family,” Malis said — were hugely influential on her as she worked her way through every management job that FELS had to offer. She’s certainly needed that family in the last few months, as the COVID-19 pandemic made education a difficult prospect and gave it new polit- ical dimensions. Malis was proud that FELS committed to in-person education early on and, thus far, things have gone smoothly, more or less. Her real-life family, perhaps more than anyone else, under- stands what she has gone through. Her son, Eric Malis, an attorney in Palo Alto, California, explained that it wasn’t only his mother’s desire to do the right thing every time that weighed on her; the consequences of those decisions stuck with her, long after they’d concluded. Watching his mother, Eric Malis said, he wasn’t aware until later in life that her dedication to her profession was something exceptional. “She really put her whole self into trying to do what was right,” he said. That pressure, he believes, “helps build the person that she is: the person I’m so proud to call my mother.” l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines Hijacking Continued from Page 1 carrying pistols and grenades. “This is your new captain speaking,” the woman announced from the cockpit moments later. “This plane has been taken over by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. We are taking you to a friendly country with friendly people.” September marked the 50th anniversary of the 1970 Dawson’s Field plane hijack- ings and the ensuing hostage crisis, which drew interna- tional attention and escalated tensions that led to the outbreak of the Jordanian civil war. Jerry Berkowitz, a college professor, was one of six men held captive for nearly a month. Boaz Atzili, an associate professor of Israel studies, Jewish studies and Arab studies at American University, said hijacking was an increasingly common tactic for organiza- tions like PFLP to negotiate for the release of prisoners and draw international attention to their cause after the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel won against Egypt, Syria and Jordan and took control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. “Until ’67, the Palestinians were basically putting their trust in the Arab states to eventually bring the liberation of Palestine, what became Israel,” Atzili said. “But the ’67 war was such a decisive blow to this vision that the Arabs will somehow win over Israel. So that’s where we see this mind shift in Palestinian operation, and basically they decided, ‘OK, if we’re not going to help ourselves, nobody is going to help us.’” Berkowitz’s TWA Flight 74 was one of four planes to be hijacked that day, along with Swissair Flight 100, El Al Flight 219 and Pan Am Flight 93. The hijackers landed the TWA plane and Swissair plane on Dawson’s Field, a World War II landing strip in the Jordanian desert. Three days later, JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Jerry Berkowitz another hijacker forced BOAC Flight 775 to land at the field. Men with guns rushed Berkowitz’s plane, collected passports and instructed passengers to fill out customs declarations. “That kind of blew our minds, because you had to be prepared to have the declarations avail- able,” said Berkowitz, who now lives in Buffalo, New York. The next day, the militants issued demands for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Germany, Switzerland, England and Israel. They included the United States in the group of governments they would negotiate with. The hijackers told all women and children to get off the plane. Many, including Rivke Berkowitz, were afraid to leave. “I convinced my wife that I’d feel a lot better if she and my daughter were safe,” Jerry Berkowitz said. The guards separated Jews and non-Jews before releasing the non-Jewish passengers, who were transported to Amman. The Jewish women and children were sent back on the plane. That night, Jerry Berkowitz, now 81, was called off the plane along with five other men. Two Courtesy of Gerald Berkowitz were rabbis with American and Israeli passports, and three were U.S. government employees. They were loaded onto a truck and driven through the desert. “Every time we stopped behind a large sand dune, I figured, ‘They’re going to take us out here and kill us,’” Berkowitz said. He had nightmares that his body would never be found and, in accordance with Jewish law when a body cannot be identi- fied, his wife would never be able to remarry. Their guards drove them to the Jordanian city of Irbid, where they were dropped at the house that served as PFLP headquarters. The men were kept in a small room and given a single glass to share for water. A few days later, the guards brought the hostages an Arabic language newspaper with a picture of their plane being blown up. Jerry Berkowitz had no idea that his wife and daughter were taken off the plane on Sept. 12 and returned to the U.S. on Sept. 14. He didn’t know if they were still alive. Atzili said the hijack- ings and destruction of the planes at Dawson’s Field brought tensions between JEWISH EXPONENT Jerry and Rivke Berkowitz Palestinians and Jordanians to a boiling point. After the Six-Day War, Palestinian groups in Jordan attempted to create an autonomous zone where they exercised control independently of Jordanian authorities. When Palestinians blew up the hijacked planes on Sept. 16, King Hussein of Jordan declared martial order and ordered a concerted attack on Palestinian forces. Soon after the captives arrived at the PFLP headquar- ters, they heard the mortar fire between Palestinian and Jordanian forces that marked the beginning of the Jordanian civil war. On Sept. 21, the Jordanians occupied Irbid and the guards moved the hostages to an abandoned schoolhouse. On Sept. 29, the International Committee of the Red Cross arrived along with an official secretary from the Embassy of Egypt in Amman, who told the men they were being released unconditionally. After flying to Athens to give a press conference, the group boarded a flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, where Jerry Berkowitz was finally reunited with his wife and Courtesy of Gerald Berkowitz daughter. Police cars rushed them to a family member’s house, and they made it just before sundown on the eve of Rosh Hashanah. Jerry Berkowitz, who is retired, said the ordeal left its mark on his family. He and his wife had flashbacks and nightmares, particularly when a hostage crisis appeared in the news. “In the 50 years since, I don’t know if we flew 10 times,” he said. The couple lived in Buffalo together until Rivke Berkowitz died in 2015. He said he found solace during his captivity by reflecting on Jewish education and ritual. On Sept. 26, the last Saturday before Rosh Hashanah, he prayed on the second floor of the schoolhouse. “And I looked up at the sky and a sentence from Genesis came to mind: ‘God told Abraham to look at the sky and promised to make his descen- dants as numerous as the stars in the heavens.’ And I had the sense that all over the world Jews were at synagogue, and even if they weren’t, they were praying for us to return safely,” he said. l spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 OCTOBER 1, 2020 13 O pinion There’s No Singular Jewish Way to Mourn or Grieve BY RABBI LISA SILVERSTEIN WHEN I WAS IN rabbin- ical school, we were taught some pretty solid informa- tion about death and burial. It was academically correct and historically accurate — it was actually one of my favorite courses. However, the class did not prepare me in the least to conduct a funeral. Moreover, the information I learned certainly did not give me the tools to counsel families about death and dying. In fact, the very first week of my rabbinate, due to my inexperience and my lack of training, I advised a family to make a disastrous decision regarding the burial of a loved one — leading a family to go against the soon-to-be deceased’s clearly articulated wishes to be cremated. I overzealously lectured the family in the hospital waiting room about the Jewish prefer- ence for burial over cremation, hoping the family would change their loved one’s mind. But instead, minutes after he died, the family insisted on burying him — against his wishes. I’ve never quite gotten over that mistake or that moment. It has profoundly influenced me in the way in which I approach families during these difficult, painful moments that often precede death of a loved one. I’ve been thinking about this a lot in recent days, as I have seen many posts — some indignant, others curious — questioning the fact that Ruth Bader Ginsburg would lie in repose, and how this honor might be in conflict with the Jewish practice of hastening burial. There is no doubt that, overall, the Jewish custom is to bury our loved ones as soon as possible. We are guided by the Torah, which teaches us that the body of an executed man may not be left overnight because it is an affront to God (Deut. 21:22-23). While it is true that, in general, we do not encourage delaying burial in Jewish practice, there are instances where we make exceptions — a principle first noted in the Shulchan Aruch, the Code of Jewish Law, which notes that while immediate burial is ultimately preferred, there are a number of situations that warrant delay. I can personally attest to the fact that, in Israel, the burial of the deceased occurs so quickly that if you don’t check your text messages for a few hours, you might very well miss not only the death notice but also the funeral of a loved one or an acquaintance. However, when a noted dignitary dies, the funeral is delayed without a second thought in order to allow other heads of state from around the world to arrive, as well as giving time for Israeli citizens to pay their respects to the deceased. When Nobel Prize-winning visionary and former Israeli Prime Minister and President Shimon Peres died in 2016, his funeral was delayed 48 hours. Peres’ body laid in state at the Knesset for one day in order to allow the Israeli public to pay their respects. So, too, was the funeral of Yitzhak Rabin, who was murdered on Nov. 4, 1995, in the middle of a peace rally. His body also laid in state, and then was slowly taken through the streets of Jerusalem to allow the public to pay respect. There was also a two-day delay in his burial in order to allow for the arrival of dignitaries from around the world. Golda Meir died on Dec. 8, 1978, and was buried on Dec. 12 — four days later. Tens of thousands of Israelis filed by her coffin while it lay in state. I am quite certain that Ginsburg considered all of the implications of what it would mean for her to lie — or not to lie — in repose, and that she made deliberate, intelligent decisions based on the desires of her family. It is not upon us to question those decisions, nor to judge her or her family regarding their difficult (or perhaps not so difficult) choices. I began this post with the story of my inadequacies regarding counseling grieving families partly because, even now, with more than 20 years of experience as a rabbi, I still don’t have all of the right answers. However, I can say with great certainty that there is not a singular Jewish way to mourn, to bury, to grieve. For those of us who are rightfully sad about the loss of such a magnificent human being, we will find our path through mourning and preserving her public legacy. I have no doubt that her family’s private mourning will likely look radically different than the public honor that will be bestowed to her by her admirers. Just as I became overzealous in my desire to “help” that family make the “right” decision about the rituals to bestow upon their loved one, I fear that in our desire to take pride in Ginsburg’s Jewish legacy, we might have collectively crossed appropriate boundaries. There is no doubt that many of us feel a visceral connec- tion to Ginsburg. Rather than questioning the rituals that will ultimately lay her body to rest and bind her soul with God, let us learn from her life’s lessons and fight for truth, justice, fairness, and equality, as she would most certainly encourage us to do. l Rabbi Lisa Silverstein is a renowned spiritual leader and the executive director of Positive Jewish Living.

The Sept. 15 White House ceremony celebrating a peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and a peace declaration between Israel and Bahrain, marks another advance in Israel’s regional integration. It also delinks resolution of Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians and the creation of an independent BY DANA STROUL Palestinian state from the broader question of its acceptance by the LESS THAN 100 YEARS after rest of the Arab world. Israel’s founding as the homeland As the normalization train for the Jewish people in 1948, moves forward, the most 14 OCTOBER 1, 2020 pressing question is when, not if, another country jumps aboard. Though the Israeli- Palestinian conflict remains unresolved, the promise of a warm peace among Israeli, Emirati and Bahraini citizens and businesspeople has the potential to change the region in profound ways by demon- strating the tangible, real-world benefits of people-to-people ties and cooperation. The Bahrain and UAE agreements mark the third and fourth Arab governments to normalize relations with JEWISH EXPONENT Israel. Egypt made peace in 1979 and Jordan in 1994. But there are profound differences from what was negotiated with two countries that fought Israel on the battlefield. For the UAE and Bahrain, there are no territorial exchanges required or historical baggage to overcome. Moreover, the accelerated timeline from summer announcement to fall signing ceremony underscores the expansive relationships between Israeli and Arab countries already developing for decades out of public view. Though the United States played a critical facilitation role, the architecture for normal- ized relationships well predates 2020. Two major regional security trends prompted unofficial ties between Israel and countries in the Middle East years ago. First, alarm at Iranian nuclear ambitions and support for terrorist groups throughout the region. Second, fear of Islamism in both its violent extremist form such as al-Qaida and ISIS, See Stroul, Page 16 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM O pinion Clergy Stress Levels Are Soaring. Rabbis Need a Break. BY RABBI ELYSE WECHTERMAN AND RABBI ILANA GARBER IN THESE LAST six months, Jewish clergy all over the world have worked more hours, in more ways, and with more demands than ever before. And they need a break. In March, when the pan- demic became a reality, rabbis and cantors pivoted in every way: They conducted online services, streamed Passover seders and began officiating at remote and socially distanced funerals. They counseled families who either postponed or drastically reimagined the shape of the simchas — the b’nai mitzvah, weddings and other events — that had been in the works for months (if not years). parents of school-age children barely holding it together while they worked, parented, managed their households and watched the world falling apart around them, all demanded our clergy’s attention. And rabbis and cantors, as they are trained and so desperately want to do, responded. They made calls, arranged porch visits and stepped up, sometimes putting themselves in harm’s way by gathering with people who needed them. Against the backdrop of increasing civil-unrest and their own passion for justice, clergy also participated — be-masked — in BLM protests and rallies, supported immigrants and asylum seekers at detention centers, and protested against the ongoing degradation of civil with an outpouring of creativity and energy, creating websites, Facebook groups and resources, holding conference calls and practicum sessions, all on top of their regular work. While summer vacations were put on hold, many used the time to write or rewrite scripts, service outlines and sermons. Synagogue clergy produced and edited video and audio produc- tions, crafted resources for use at home and reinvented liturgy designed for shorter and online services. Those working at schools reimagined everything from curriculum to instruc- tion, while our clergy on college campuses prepared to welcome students back to a very different community. The explosion of creativity and response has been enormous. KVETCH ’N’ KVELL Biden Recalls Examples of Befarek RABBI JOSHUA RUNYAN’S ASSUMPTION that Joe Biden is a capable, good man and supporter of Israel is not evidenced by Biden’s history (“Why Trump’s Not Getting This Orthodox Vote: He’s Neither Good for the Jews, Nor for Judaism,” Sept. 10). This reminds me of our Passover story, which tells how Pharaoh seduced the Jews with befarek, or gentle speech. Franklin D. Roosevelt was beloved by our people, an eloquent practitioner of befarek. Yet, in our hour of deepest peril, he was nowhere to be found. He limited Jewish immigration to the U.S. to 300,000 souls during WWII and famously refused to bomb railroad tracks leading to Auschwitz, costing more than a million lives. During Biden’s service under [President Barack] Obama (another practitioner of befarek), what, if anything, did he do to mitigate the clear anti-Israel bias in that administration? The answer is nothing, he furthered the appeasing of Iran by Obama. Biden is an old-school careerist politician, dedicated only to his own interests and those of his corrupt inner circle. Trump’s actions have proven friendship for Israel and have struck a serious blow against rising campus anti-Semitism, denying government funding to universities who allow this danger to flourish on campus. He is not a practitioner of befarek, but he has demonstrated real support towards our community. Trump has his flaws, but his policies are good for America, good for Israel and good for our community. This committed Jew, former professor of political science, and American patriot, will be voting for Donald J. Trump on Nov. 3. Louis B. Rappaport | Fort Washington Clergy stress levels have been soaring, according to experts on ministry and clergy nationally. Articles on clergy burnout during COVID-19 and civil unrest abound on the internet. Without prior experience in production, they adjusted to this new virtual reality by working together to invent best-prac- tices for community building and inclusion in a digital world. They learned terms like “mute all” and “original sound,” and they practiced defending their communities against “Zoom-bombing” — none of which was covered in rabbinical or cantorial school. At the same time, the pastoral demands, often the most meaningful part of a clergyperson’s work, multi- plied dramatically. Isolated individuals (especially elders) experiencing loneliness and loss, mourners unable to attend in-person funerals or be comforted by visitors for shiva, JEWISHEXPONENT.COM discourse and human rights in this country in particular. All of this while managing their own losses, their own displacements and their own family situations — children needing to be home-schooled or monitored online, aging parents far away and fearful of their risk for illness, marriages needing attention, and congregations, day schools and organiza- tions weighing the constantly changing CDC guidelines, unsure on a day-to-day basis how to proceed. And this was all before we started worrying about the High Holidays. Sometime in May, questions about High Holidays began circulating, and clergy and their organizations responded And all of this has taken a toll. Clergy stress levels have been soaring, according to experts on ministry and clergy nation- ally. Articles on clergy burnout during COVID-19 and civil unrest abound on the internet. Barna Research, a Christian- based think tank on faith and public life, reports in a recent study that 31% of pastors are struggling with their mental and physical well-being and 25% are concerned about their marriage and family lives. A Duke university Clergy Health Initiative study found that 11% of pastors report symptoms of depression normally. Numbers have skyrocketed during the pandemic and shut down.

It is a sad time in America that so many believe the lies emanating from the White House. Runyan lays out his argument clearly, factually. I, too, feel that this country is more dangerous for Jews at any time in my lifetime and the source lies at the doorstep of a president who has stoked the fires of racism and abetted the pandemic through his lack of leadership and thoughtless comments. When it comes to family values, the opposing writer Binyamin Rose (“Many Orthodox Support President Trump.

This shared view of regional threats opened opportunities for cooperation in the security and intelligence sectors, and also relationship building. Building on the founda- tion of security collaboration, Israel and Gulf governments and private sectors were already testing the waters of expanded engagement. Oil-dependent Arab govern- ments, recognizing the urgent need for economic diversifi- cation, desire access to Israeli know-how in technology, alter- native energy, irrigation and desert agriculture, health care and science. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated these trends with specific interest in medical sector collaboration. Israeli-Arab cultural engage- ments were also already accelerating. In 2018 an Israeli judo team, and in February 2020 an Israeli cycling team, competed in the UAE. Israel was invited to present a booth at the Dubai World Expo 2020, now postponed until 2021. Planning for an Israeli team at the World Cup 2022 hosted in Qatar is underway, including Israeli spectators. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Oman in 2018, and thousands of Moroccans and Israeli tourists visit each other’s countries every year. The texts signed at the White House are noteworthy for their future-oriented vision of partnership and mutual benefit. Israel, the UAE and Bahrain must now focus on the practical steps required to scale up relations — civil aviation agree- ments, banking relationships, navigating each other’s private sectors, and preparing hotels and tourism sites to receive new groups of foreigner visitors. Other governments in the region are watching closely as they consider bringing their own relationships with Israel out from under the table. How tangible are the economic benefits? Can the Emirati and Bahraini models be replicated to effectively prepare citizens for interaction in this refreshed strategic milieu? To be sure, these important normalization agreements do not augur a new Middle East or remove the most pressing threats to Israel, especially on its borders. The regime in Iran continues its pursuit of a nuclear weapon and its support for a terrorist threat network. Lebanese Hezbollah remains entrenched with its missile arsenal on Israel’s northern border. Also in the north, a civil war rages on in Syria with dictator Bashar al-Assad working hand in hand with Iran and Hezbollah. An active ISIS affiliate retains the ability to launch lethal attacks in Sinai on Israeli’s southern border. To the east, the fragile yet obstinate Palestinian Authority continues to muddle through in the West Bank. And to the west, Hamas retains control of the Gaza Strip, using the area to launch explosive balloons and rockets at Israeli popula- tion centers as recently as the same day as the White House ceremony. Going forward, the U.S.-Israel relationship will mostly remain unchanged. Despite criti- cism from certain members of Congress directed at specific Israeli government policies, the ironclad commitment to Israel’s security will hold fast. The long-standing U.S. priority to improve relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors will continue. This is a matter not just of national security — coordinating counter-Iran and counterterrorism policies — but also of interest in ensuring that Israel is able to thrive as the Jewish and democratic state. Both the Trump administration and the Biden campaign pledged to continue the important work of normalizing ties between Israel and its neighbors in the region. What remains elusive, however, is a viable peace process between Israel and the Palestinians that leads to two states. Indeed, bipar- tisan resolutions lauding the UAE and Bahrain normal- ization agreements — in the House of Representatives and the Senate — highlighted the long-standing U.S. priority to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so that both peoples are ultimately able to live side by side in peace and security. l Clergy Continued from Page 15 For Jews, like other margin- alized groups around the world, the shocking examples of hate activity and growth of far-right hate groups — in particular those spouting anti-Semitism — add fuel to this already devastating mix of fires burning through Jewish clergy energy at this moment.

Likewise, we are inviting our congregations, day schools, Hillels, Jewish continuing care facilities, yeshivot, organiza- tions and every other places that employ Jewish clergy to Take the Pledge to avoid additional programming, meetings and demands on your clergy in order to support this initia- tive for #JewishClergySelfCare. Communities that Take the Pledge will be celebrated publicly. Even if clergy do not want to participate in any of our online programming, we hope you will give them some space and an opportunity to recharge. We support the concept that #JewishClergySelfCare comes in many forms. Our goal is to encourage this exploration, foster hevruta (partnership), and engage commitment to self-care, so it may truly be a happy and healthy new year for all. As has been said many times, “You cannot pour from an empty cup.” We believe our Jewish clergy, who have worked so hard and so long for the sake of our communities, deserve a moment to fill up and enjoy a cos rivaya (full goblet) once again. l Rabbi Elyse Wechterman is the executive director of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association.

Moully’s sukkah, which stretches over a sidewalk and will set limits on how many masked and distanced visitors can dwell within it at a given time, will allow those uncom- fortable with crowded indoor spaces to engage with art. Even if the pandemic didn’t necessitate such installations, Wircberg said, OCJAC was moving toward doing more in that genre, anyway. Murals, he said, “are a big thing in the gallery world, and I really want to connect it with Judaism, to what we do, and with holiness, and I just thought, what better way? [Moully] is great, he does great murals literally all over the country and all over the world.” Moully has painted murals in Los Angeles, Jersey City and Brooklyn. Wircberg and Moully, who is based in Hillside, New Jersey, had a prior relationship; Moully had shown his work at OCJAC before, and their mothers were friends when they were children. Moully’s work has gained widespread acclaim, with write-ups in Th e Wall Street Journal, Th e Forward, Tablet Magazine and other publi- cations.

Judaism and yoga also have certain practices in common, like meditation. “Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and many more Jewish holy men were shepherds who spent long hours in meditation, while the tradition of medita- tion before prayer was common for the sages, the mystical Kabbalists, and for many Chassidim from the days of the Ba’al Shem Tov to the present,” Rea Bochner wrote in Jewish Community Voice in 2019. Glassman expects the trend to continue to grow. She believes there are many people who, whether due to the social isolation of the pandemic or other personal reasons, find it difficult to connect to tradi- tional prayer now. “My goal is to help people find their Jewish spirituality in a way they may not have been able to previously,” she said. l spanzer@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM T orah P ortion Making the Most of Sukkot BY RABBI BARRY DOV LERNER Sukkot THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES for everyone. Only two weeks ago, we recited “who shall live and who shall die.” This year we really feel our vulnerability to those awful propositions: “Who shall live and who shall die” and “who by fire” in the West, “who by storm and water” in our South and “who by pandemic” in all 50 states. In this time of COVID-19, this liturgy asks us to examine our lives, just as it often can cause depression, anxiety for the future and uncertainty for our future. Why then is Sukkot so problematic? We began with Rosh Hashanah, defined in our liturgy as a “Day of Remembrance” and then Yom Kippur labeled as a “Day of Judgment.” But Sukkot is called zeman simchateinu, a “Day of Joy.” To be honest, how joyful do we all feel right now, hunkering down at home, afraid — or at least cautious — about doing anything in a public setting? Other than joyful gratitude for survival in a pandemic, we are still apprehensive about the future. We have already lost 200,000 American lives. Why should we be so joyful now, virtually locked out of the synagogue for Sukkot? How can we regain peace of mind or emotional equilibrium when too many Americans refuse to agree to the minimal disciplines Oak Hill Continued from Page 6 before moving to an apartment complex in King of Prussia, which she found through her insurance company. She has been frustrated by communication from the building management and condo board, which she described as unhelpful and inconsistent. JEWISHEXPONENT.COM CAN DL E L IGHTIN G Oct. 2 Oct. 9 6:23 p.m. 6:11 p.m. of masking, social distancing and washing our hands just to avoid losing our lives? We all feel this need for delivery from our loneliness and the rigor of medically directed separation from others. How does Sukkot follow with any promise of relief? How can we focus on the now and find moments of joy and positive peace of mind in Sukkot? In short, when one is unhappy, even depressed — how can we lift up our spirits and relieve our apprehension about tomorrow and the days to come? Is there a path away from the uncertainty about the future and to find our way back to optimism and confidence? My suggestion is to find renewed enthusiasm for life in a “nachas box.” Create a nachas box — a repository for cards, notes, emails and expressions of gratitude we receive for what we have done for others. An additional definition includes pride for our children and for others, and what they have achieved. Creating a nachas box was a suggestion from a colleague decades ago. He said there will be days when you will be challenged for your decisions and choices — anxious and depressed perhaps. At that moment, take out your nachas box and review the notes and letters you received describing the impact you had in their lives. It will not take long. You will be uplifted. I created my nachas box decades ago. Well, really, it was a large file folder, and then a second file. Today, you might create it digitally. But the impact will be the same: You open it up, read and smile, recalling the moment, the people and the memories. You are worthwhile; you are meaningful in the lives of friends and family. How then does this relate to Sukkot? I must be personal: Our sukkah is also a nachas box, which renews my feelings of pride, meaning and hope. As a family, before there were children, my wife Barbara and I built a sukkah. Two were memorable and we talked about our first experiments. We built one for the High Holidays in Great Neck and brought out Rabbi Mordecai Waxman to appreciate it. With me was the committee youth chairman, and together we watched the vertical cube slowly become a parallelogram with decreasing internal angles until it was a pile of two-by- fours on the ground. We had designed the first self-folding sukkah, and the chairman went on to become an architect in San Francisco. Our first home sukkah was so strong and remained vertical that it survived snowstorms into the winter. This leads to a question: What is the name of the day on which the Sukkah is taken down? Chanukah. Over the years, our children helped decorate the sukkah, and we still put up their creations — except for those we gifted to them. We also remember the decorations we no longer can use. There was a year when, to surprise Barbara, who complained about the weather, I installed a window in one wall with a sliding storm panel that could be closed. I bought a chandelier with candle-like bulbs, and when she came into the sukkah, I hit the switch. Unfortunately, weather and years took their toll, and we just remember the surprise moment and laughter. In recent years, we even had high school students from Cheltenham High School come to our sukkah to eat their lunch. Not this year. The annual purchase of a lulav and etrog set led to holding on to one of the etrogim; drying it and saving it marked with the Hebrew year, while the other etrogim we purchased were turned into etrog liqueur which we could serve to sukkah guests. Since I made it with potato vodka, it was also kosher for Passover, linking our holidays. You get it now. Sukkot for the Lerner family is a living, breathing nachas box, and it offers us joy and happiness in moments recalled from the past 55 years. The nachas memories remind you to forget that you have been productive, a positive force in the lives of congre- gants, community and family. Above all, you are grateful for the kindness of others who took the time and effort to express their gratitude to you. And Sukkot is a natural, annual nachas box. One can sit in the sukkah as a moment of balancing the past as an antidote for worry about the future. To conclude, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks of the United Kingdom wrote: “Happiness is an attitude to life, while joy lives in the moment. Happiness is something you pursue. But joy is not. It discovers you. It has to do with a sense of connection to other people or to God. It comes from a different realm than happiness. It is a social emotion. It is the exhilaration we feel when we merge with others.” This year we may be at home. Find joy in Sukkot this year as the beginning of your nachas box. We can really say: Chag Sameach and next year in your own sukkah. l Rayfield is heartbroken by the loss of her home, which she bought with her retirement savings and renovated 11 years ago. She is still pained by the injuries she sustained when she collapsed in a smoke-filled hallway and had to be rescued by firefighters. “My eyes were bright blood red for two weeks. It was killing me to even squint. My throat, I couldn’t even talk, it was so burned,” she said. Her esophagus and vocal cords were damaged by smoke inhalation. Her rescuers had to drag her down a flight of stairs to get her out of the building, and the impact aggravated her arthritis, especially in her hips. “Now I’m in a lot of pain when I walk,” she said. “I’m 80 years old. So, you know, it’s really left its mark on me.” She has suffered from acute vertigo for several weeks, which makes any movement difficult. She also has night- mares about being trapped in the hallway, unable to find the exit. She is going to physical therapy for her injuries and speaking with a clinical social worker about the upheaval she has experienced. She is not sure when she will be able to return to Oak Hill, but she expects it will not be until 2021. “I feel like I don’t have control over anything anymore,” she said. “I’m praying that my insurance will cover it all.

Using Data to Map Our Communities’ COVID-19 Needs AT THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA, it’s our job to get your money to the people and organizations who need it most. So nothing is more important to us than being in touch with the people we serve, whether that means picking up the phone and talking to them one-on-one or using complex data tools to get a big picture view. When COVID-19 hit, we knew that many more people would find themselves in need, and that their needs would be increasingly complex. To respond to this, our Strategy and Impact team put out a Community Needs survey that more than 1,000 people answered. Individuals were invited to share how the pandemic had affected them personally, and organizations shared how COVID impacted their businesses and the services they provided to the community. The end result is data that will guide our strategy and reveal areas of need that would have remained hidden. Check out our interesting stats. Individual needs When it comes to individuals and families, our evaluation team learned: • The three service needs cited most frequently were virtual community programming (29%), mental health (21%) and job loss/employment services (18%). • Households with children are more likely to have decreased participation in Jewish engagement activities. • 37% of households indicate decreased participation in volunteer activities, and 27% indicated decreased participation in Shabbat or holiday programming. • Adult education during COVID-19 saw a higher level of both decreased and increased participation as compared to youth education. Want more data? Visit jewishphilly.org/covid-19-survey-results. Organizational needs When it comes to local organizations, our evaluation team learned: • 84% of organizations reported some degree of revenue loss, and 16% had to furlough or lay off staff. • The most-cited services reported by organizations as requested by their clients include: virtual community programming (65%), virtual Jewish education (39%), food services (35%), financial assistance (33%) and child care (31%). • Half of social service organizations reported an increase in service requests, and Jewish life and learning organizations were more likely to see a decrease in demand. • Jewish life and learning organizations, such as camps and day schools, reported a harder time meeting new service needs (56%) than community engagement and social responsibility organizations (25%).

Dave went to Central High School, attended Wharton Business School and became an ac- countant and occasional real estate de- veloper. He often joked that if he's buying, you should be selling! Dave loved spending time with Judy, his children, grandchildren and friends. While he enjoyed his profession- al work, he was happiest when using his hands whether it was tinkering with his boat, fixing something around the house, painting or drawing. He loved reading, building and flying model airplanes, and traveling. Dave's humor, good nature and appreciation for the simple things in life made him a joy to be around. And his endlessly positive attitude, particularly in his later years, was truly exem- plary. Dave will be missed by his family and friends. Funeral Services were private.

She started her life in Philadelphia, raised her family in Elkins Park, PA, together with her beloved husband, Arthur Hirsch- horn, and enjoyed good friends and all that life had to offer in her time there. She in- stilled a joie de vivre in all those around her and was an inspiration to many. Known as one to seize the moment, Rita followed her passion for travel and started her own wo- man owned business as an eponymous travel agency which would grow for decades. She inspired countless clients with her unending enthusiasm to plan memorable adventures. After Arthur passed, Rita moved to Austin at age 78 in search of a new adventure of her own. Her thriving life in Austin included so- cializing with her many new friends, involve- ment in the Austin Jazz Society, serving as social director in her building, volunteering as a guide at the Zach Theatre, and enjoying all that life had to offer. After 8 years in Aus- tin, she moved to an assisted living facility in Florida. In her 4 years there, Rita expressed her zest for life in many ways, including by adopting her signature wardrobe piece of a different hat every day, and she brightened the room with her big smile and infectious laugh. Rita never lost her ability to bring de- light, joy and humor into the lives of others. Thank you to all who made her life richer. She will be dearly missed. Following her wishes, there is no public memorial service. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Rita’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Associ- ation. www.JewishExponent.com HONOR THE MEMORY OF YOUR LOVED ONE...
