A NIGHT OF TRIVIA JANUARY 21

“Hatred of the foreigner is the oldest of passions. It is frighteningly easy to fear the one who seems different, to cast the one who looks or sounds different then you, as the ‘purported enemy.’ But our traditions teach otherwise.” From “The Soul of a Stranger.” The Rabbi’s piece continues

FROM THE BIMAH Rabbi Yael Romer

The Soul of a Stranger

On Sunday, December 16th, I participated in a solidarity march in uptown Kingston, expressing unity with the immigrant community in our midst. I was thrilled to see members of our congregation participating in the rally and honored to be one of the clergy asked to deliver a message:

he stranger is the one we are taught to love, precisely because s/he is not like ourselves.

Hatred of the foreigner is the oldest of passions. It is frighteningly easy to fear the one who seems different, to cast the one who looks or sounds different then you, as the “purported enemy.” But our traditions teach otherwise. “Do not ill treat a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in Egypt.” Exodus 22:21 “Do not oppress a stranger. You yourselves know how it feels to be a stranger (you know the soul of a

stranger) because you were strangers in Egypt.” Exodus 23:9

Traditional Jewish commentary put an emphasis on avoiding all rhetoric that might negatively impact the immigrant, one who resides in our midst who is not originally from our community. The Rabbi’s recognized the power of words, with words worlds were created and peace forged. With words, violence and destruction can be provoked.

Enough of the dangerous rhetoric that has been on the lips of politicians. This irresponsible rhetoric does not honor our faith traditions, irresponsible leadership devoid of morals does not honor the greatness of America.

We are all immigrants. I am an immigrant, my parents, my grandparents, and my children are all immigrants. America is made up of immigrants. That is our greatness. The mutual respect, the dignity for all, the recognition that there is Sacred in our diversity, and our willingness to defend the other is our greatness. That is our strength.

“When a stranger lives with you in you land, do not mistreat her. The stranger living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself” Leviticus 19:33

This provision appears in Leviticus and in Deuteronomy. This is how we treat one another. This is how we honor the Divine.

God is the protector of those who are vulnerable. When someone is at risk, vulnerable, out of their element, it is our responsibility to come to their aide.

Thirty-six times the Torah renders an injunction on our responsibility to protect the stranger and treat them as our own. The number 36 indicates righteousness, that which is just.

To be a Jew, is to be a stranger. I have resided in many communities where I was the other. Today I tell you, that I and my community will stand with our neighbors, the families of children who go to school with our children, the workers in our community… you are our friends, you are us and we are you.

The stranger is me. We stand as one.

As you read these words, we will have closed the festival of Chanukah and be ushering in the secular New Year, 2017. May we have the courage,

fortitude and resilience to forge light in the face of darkness. May we remain hopeful but ever vigilant, positive but absolutely prepared and mobilized for being proactive.

Many of you have asked how we go forward in a time and atmosphere that seems charged with racism, Anti-Semitism, violence and fear. As we face the challenges of 2017, may our Congregation stand together as a force of social activism, leading with the Jewish values of social action, justice and repairing the brokenness in our world.

As I have shared with many of you, Hillel’s words are eerily appropriate for our reality today: “If not now, then when.” Now more than ever it is imperative that we ban together and answer to call to action.

Other Voices “…the most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.”

Rabbi Joachim Prinz “'Tis the time's plague when madmen lead the blind.”

CANTOR BANTER Bob Cohen

Nobel

think I will banter quite a bit. First there is Bobby Zimmerman’s (aka Bob Dylan) acknowledgment speech at the Nobel Prize

ceremony, delivered by the U.S. Ambassador to Sweden Azita Raji, at the Nobel Banquet, Saturday, December 10, 2016:

“...I'm sorry I can't be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious prize. Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming...

I was out on the road when I received this surprising news, and it took me more than a few minutes to properly process it. I began to think about William Shakespeare, the great literary figure. I would reckon he thought of himself as a dramatist. The thought that he was writing literature couldn't have entered his head. His words were written for the stage. Meant to be spoken not

read. When he was writing Hamlet, I'm sure he was thinking about a lot of different things: "Who're the right actors for these roles?" "How should this be staged?" "Do I really want to set this in Denmark?" His creative vision and ambitions were no doubt at the forefront of his mind, but there were also more mundane matters to consider and deal with. "Is the financing in place?" "Are there enough good seats for my patrons?" "Where am I going to get a human skull?" I would bet that the farthest thing from Shakespeare's mind was the question, "Is this literature?"

When I started writing songs as a teenager, and even as I started to achieve some renown for my abilities, my aspirations for these songs only went so far. I thought they could be heard in coffee houses or bars, maybe later in places like Carnegie Hall, the London Palladium. If I was really dreaming big, maybe I could imagine getting to make a record and then hearing my songs on the radio. That was really the big prize

I

in my mind. Making records and hearing your songs on the radio meant that you were reaching a big audience and that you might get to keep doing what you had set out to do.

Well, I've been doing what I set out to do for a long time, now. I've made dozens of records and played thousands of concerts all around the world. But it's my songs that are at the vital center of almost everything I do. They seemed to have found a place in the lives of many people throughout many different cultures and I'm grateful for that…

But, like Shakespeare, I too am often occupied with the pursuit of my creative endeavors and dealing with all aspects of life 's mundane matters. "Who are the best musicians for these songs?" "Am I recording in the right studio?" "Is this song in the right key?" Some things never change, even in 400 years.

Not once have I ever had the time to ask myself, "Are my songs literature?"

So, I do thank the Swedish Academy, both for taking the time to consider that very question, and, ultimately, for providing such a wonderful answer.

My best wishes to you all,

Bob Dylan”

I love it. So down to earth – he and Willie S. worrying about the same mundane things as they write words that lift them and us up to the skies. As you probably know by now, Dee Dixon, Happy Traum and I were there at the coffee houses when he started out. And I have always said before I read these words, that being a songwriter at the time Bob appeared on the scene must have been like being a playwright when Will Shakespeare came along. But back in the day it was exciting to listen to and work with singer-songwriters that were writing in the folksong spirit – plain spoken, poetic, imaginative, and passionate. A truly wonderful time.

I guess the message of this acceptance speech (unspoken) to young folks, is to dream and think big. Ya’akov (Jacob) dreamt of angels/messengers of peace not only going up to heaven but down to earth, as well. Connecting with God and then bringing God into our lives…The world is a vision and a task for all of us.

I got an email about Bob’s original score of “Blowin’ in the Wind” having been sold at Sotheby’s for over $300,000. Since Dee’s

7

singing of “No More Auction Block for me” first inspired the melody of the song--and we were the first to record it--you would think…

Speaking of golden oldies, new book out ANATOMY OF A SONG, The Oral History of 45 Iconic Hits That Changed Rock, R&B and Pop by Marc Myers.

The last song on it is “Losing My Religion” oy vey – I prefer “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”! which is the first song written about in the book. And another book for this gift-giving season is LOVE FOR SALE: Pop Music in America by David Hajdu. Hajdu, who interviewed me maybe a decade ago for a book he was writing on the 60’s folk revival, “Positively Fourth Street,” used a quote from me on how our New World Singers group sang a commercial for Tom McCann Shoes (I know, I know, a sin) which they turned down, instead accepting the African-American singer Leon Bibb’s version. Leon was a wonderful singer whose son Eric Bibb carries on his name and musicality.

Lastly, my good friend Ron Radosh sent this from his Facebook page:

“Well I said I wouldn't do Facebook, but I'm breaking my

vow this one time. This entry is not political. It's about the article in the weekend Wall Street Journal by novelist T.C. Boyle on "The Blues Project." That band was the NYC bank in the 70s and 80s, and was founded and lead by my dear old friend, Danny Kalb- a master blues guitarist. The band was so major that Clapton opened for them at the NY Paramount Theater! At the famed Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village, John Lee Hooker and Son House opened for them. [And Danny Kalb played on the first CD I made called “Faithsongs” – one talented fellow.] They were also known as "The Jewish Beatles," since the Beatles and them were both managed by Sid Bernstein. So here's Boyle's article:

T.C. Boyle, 67, is the author of 10 volumes of short stories and 16 novels, including “The Harder They Come” and, his latest, “The Terranauts” (Ecco). He spoke with Marc Myers.

My ambition was to be a musician. I played saxophone and clarinet in high school and could sight-read pretty much anything. Unfortunately, I flunked my audition at the State University of New York Potsdam in 1964. It seems I had no sense of rhythm for classical music. It just about tore my heart out.

8

Instead, I became a double major in history and English. I heard bar bands while at college, but I had never heard an electric blues band live. That changed during a Thanksgiving break in 1965, when I returned home to Peekskill, N.Y.

In the company of two close friends, Eli and David, I took the train into New York, and we made our way to Greenwich Village. We were going to the Cafe Au Go Go on Bleecker Street for an event called “The Blues Bag.”

The Blues Project’s ‘Who Do You Love?’ That night, John Lee Hooker, Son House and a few other Blues legends performed. Then the headliner—the Blues Project— came on and lit the place up. Their version of Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love?” took the top of my head off.

This was a huge electric sound, like nothing I’d ever heard. Lead guitarist Danny Kalb opened with a riff, Al Kooper nailed the organ and the band went like a freight train. Tommy Flanders’s vocals that night were earthy and raw:

“I walked 47 miles of barbed wire / I use a cobra snake for a necktie... / Come on, take a little walk with me, child / Tell me, who do you love?” The rhetoric was undeniable, and the band drove it home...

Today, I can recover the same out-of-body sensation by putting on the Blues Project’s “Live at the Cafe Au Go Go” and howling along. My poor long-suffering wife has to put up with all this high-volume emotion. This is what’s called love.

A Special Thanks Cantor Bob and Pat Cohen want to thank our whole Congregation Emanuel community and our many friends in the wider community for a spectacular Gala in our honor. We wish to especially thank the hard- working Gala Committee members for their hard work, dedication and wonderful results. We thank all those who attended, who purchased loving ads in the Gala Journal, as well as those people who donated funds to our congregation. Additional thanks to Alan Levit for his great pictures of the event, as well as Jody Sumber and his always great jazz trio that kept us dancing. We especially want to thank Rabbi Yael for gathering our family, Robyn and Johnna, David and Isabella, to participate in the Havdalah Service, it is an experience they and we will never forget.

Called to the Bimah Noah Lortie Noah Lortie will celebrate his bar mitzvah on January 21st 2017. He lives in Rhinebeck with his parents, Matt and Linda and older sisters Madison and Olivia. Noah is in the 8th grade at Rhinebeck Bulkeley Middle School where his favorite subjects are math and science. If you go looking, you’ll find Noah either on the soccer field, studying or hanging out with friends. But your best bet is soccer: he dreams of becoming a professional soccer player for his career. His Torah portion is Shemot, which deals with Moses following God's orders to lead the slaves out of Egypt. We asked Noah what was on his I-phone: “couple of games, music and social media.” As to his favorite gaming console, he has no time for it. We like that. Noah listens to new pop and rap. But he really opened up when he told us about his favorite junk food: Mint ice cream… or pizza depending on his mood. When we asked him our Miss America question about saving the world, his answer was perfect: “I would

want super powers so I could not only use them to make the world safe but they could be for my personal amusement too.” The congregation is always invited to Saturday morning minyan Services. Please come and help us to celebrate Noah Lortie's Simcha.

From the Sista’s Sharon Zepel Sisterhood started last month with our Annual Ladies Night - A Shopping Extravaganza. We had 34 vendors and over 100 shoppers. We look forward to next year’s Ladies Night being bigger and better. Our December Sisterhood meeting took place at Enzo’s Italian Restaurant. We all participated in a gift exchange for Chanukah. Please mark, Monday, January 16, 2017 on your calendar for the next Sisterhood meeting. Our program will be a film about Elie Wiesel, with a lively discussion after. As always, there will be refreshments served. The meeting will be at Congregation Emanuel and will start at 7:00 PM. See you all there.

From the Editor

A Huge Debt of Gratitude

e can’t let all the changes to the Congregation Board go by

without a thanks and a tip of the hat to the many who have kept this ship afloat through these inordinately difficult days. Top of the list of course is our outgoing Prez, Brooklyn Tech alum, Merrill Lynch escapee, and visitor to cold exotic places in search of the illusive ham radio signal, Les Kalmus. Les worked his tireless magic for three years as head of the Board, following three and half years as Treasurer, doing who-knows-what to keep us vital. But I think his contribution is best summed up in his own words: “Barbara had become involved with the Congregation and I would have to listen to her tales of trying to deal with the goings on and her desire to make things better there. “I decided to become the treasurer when an opening occurred and the

rest is history. Work at the Congregation became a series of challenges that needed addressing and, as I got more involved, I realized much more needed to be done than I had originally thought. I never intended to become president but with a push and support from some of the people I worked closely with I did and found myself with a whole new set of challenges. I have been almost as busy as when I worked but the pay is not quite as good. “A lot has changed for the better at our Congregation. We have more activities and congregant involvement than ever. We have begun attracting new, younger families and our prospects are looking good. I am happy with that progress and with what I have been able to do to make a positive impact on our community and feel that I am handing over to the next president an organization that is far better prepared to face the future. Thanks for the opportunity.” We could not have said it better.

Bronxite (One of only two places in the world with “The” in front. The other is The Vatican) Marty Miller has lived a quite extraordinary life… apart from his devotion to the Congregation. A Prof at Yeshiva University and Columbia, La Guardia grad, father at twenty, union organizer, chamber musician, psychologist, and a bass player in dance bands (who woulda thought), Marty brought his unique brand of analysis, experience and insight to all the Board decisions. And despite many tragedies, his wicked smile persevered. Marty says: “I play chamber music when I can. And similarly, when I am able, I read Torah and sometimes do teachings. Sara and I live in High Falls, on the ridge, and the Mohonk Preserve is our backyard...not a bad view.”

Also stepping down from the Board is another past president of the Congregation, the jovial Rick Lewit. Rick is a winemaker par excellence, to which we can attest, who has recently migrated to artisanal cider. Rick and Alison have two daughters who were Bat Mitzvah’d under the guidance of Rabbi Romer and call Rhinebeck home. We can’t close without noting Linda Sumber’s incalculable work as Treasurer. Linda’s stepping down from the day-to-day but will still lend her steady hand to finance and the Board. We don’t know where we’d be without her. Now, if only we were like the Yankees and could retire all their numbers. Next month, we’ll introduce the new players, Arnie, Selma, Steve and Jen…
