LETTERS TO THE EDITORTHE RAbbIS TuRn

If we cant wrestle with the ideas of a play, how can we wrestle with real differences? I believe that plays are done to provoke, to make people think.

Rabbi Marc Sirinsky on the Oregon Shakespeare Festivals production of The Merchant of Venice

On nOT FEELIng REpRESEnTED

I too am glad to see coverage of the Olympia Co-ops decision to boycott Israeli prod-

ucts (Principled and Courageous, Letters, Aug. 6). It goes to show how narrow-minded

some supposedly intelligent people can be. You talk about Israeli crimes against the Pal-

estinians. Where were you, where was the co-op, when the Palestinians were bombing

civilians on the streets, buses, public eating places in Israel? Where are you today re: theindiscriminate sending of rockets into Israel?

As a Jew you may not consider yourself as being represented by Israel or Zionism.

There were many in Germany during the 1930s who thought the same way.

Harry M. Reiheer

Federal Way

HERE ARE THE pRIncIpLES AnD cOuRAgE

I would like to know where Adrienne Weller obtains her information (Principled and

Courageous, Letters, Aug. 6). What gives her the right and arrogance to judge Israel?

Israel is a sovereign country whose elected ofcials job is to protect its citizens. What

crimes against the Palestinians is she referring to? The only crimes against the Palestinians

are by the hands of their own leaders, not by Israel. Hamass charter includes the destruc-

tion of Israel in its text. Gazans are held hostage by a brutal regime (Hamas) backed by

the Iranian regime, that does not allow freedom in any form to those who oppose them.

Israel is a democratic country with equal freedom and privileges for Arabs, Muslims, Chris-

tians, Bahai, Buddhists, women, and homosexuals, unlike anyone living under the oppres-

sion of Hamas.

Please explain what Jewish tradition is destroyed. One only need look at the humani-

tarian work Israel does all over the world and in Israel. Look at any hospital in Israel and

you will see Jewish, Christian and Muslim doctors working together to care for the sick

regardless of religion or nationality. Why would you want to destroy a country that pro-

vides tikkun olam over a regime that only knows destruction? What do you see in the Pal-

estinian Hamas-controlled Gaza?

We see bombs, hate and using women and children as human shields. Should Israel

allow terrorists to bring in more guns and rockets to Hamas so that they can continue kill-

ing innocent people in Israel?

Please continue ghting for the oppressed. Boycott Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and any

other terrorist organization or state, and please get your facts straight.

DubIOuS DISTIncTIOn

The Olympia, Washington Food Co-op has the dubious distinction of being the rst

within the grocery co-op movement in America to boycott Israeli-made products. This is

unsurprising, because Olympia is a beehive of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist activities, from the

classrooms of Evergreen State College to its churches and town hall.

With no public notice to its members, let alone a healthy debate about the merits of

such a motion, on July 15 the Olympia Food Co-op damned Israel, in effect placing the

entire onus of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conict on Israel. Nothing short of the right

of return of all Arab refugees from the 1948 War a war initiated by ve Arab armies and

the Arab leadership of Palestine at that timewill sufce to end the boycott. Of course, this

is code for the disbanding of the Jewish State of Israel.

Never mind that Israel is being singled out as the one country whose wickedness and

depravity is so great that its very existence is deemed a topic demanding of discussion. Not

so with North Korea, Sudan, Libya, China, Russia, Syria or scores of other countries whose

human rights abuses are apparently so commonplace as to be unworthy of mention.

Never mind that Israel has shown itself willing to make painful sacrices for peace, from

its withdrawal from all of Sinai, its evacuation of all Jews from Gaza and other settlements in

the disputed territories of the West Bank, to Ehud Baraks and later Ehud Olmerts offers to

relinquish upwards of 96 percent of the West Bank in return for peace with its neighbors.

Never mind that an economic boycott sends exactly the wrong message to both Israe -

lis and Palestinians striving to reach an accord, because it penalizes Israeli Christian and

Muslim Arabs (who comprise 20 percent of Israels population), emboldens Palestinian

In the Winter 2009 edition o Reorm

Judaism Magazine, the Union or Reorm

Judaism shared the results o a survey on

post-Bnai Mitzvah retention. Te impetus

or conducting the study was quite simple:

Te leaders o the Reorm movement have

observed or decades a precip-

itous drop in religious school

enrollment immediately ol-

lowing Bar and Bat Mitzvah.

Rabbi Jan Katzew, lead spe-

cialist o the Union or Reorm

Judaisms Congregational Con-

sulting Group and ormer

director o the Department

o Lielong Jewish Learning,

and his team sought to discern

the true extent o the attrition rate and

which congregations had successul reten-

tion and why. Close to 900 Reorm con-

gregations participated in the survey. O

the nearly 17,000 annual Bnai and Bnot

Mitzvah a year, only about hal continue

through 10th grade and slightly more than

one in 10 enroll through 12th grade. Te

rate slightly increases through 12th grade

when you include students engaged in

other Jewish activities outside o religious

school, such as camping and youth group.

About 50 religious schools 7-10 per-

cent total retain 80 percent o post-

Bnai Mitzvah students through 12th

grade. I was proud to hear that my home

synagogue, Congregation Emanu El in

Houston, exas, has the highest retention

rate in the country, close to 92 percent. In

analyzing the ndings o the survey, the

URJ identied 10 key actors these syna-

gogues had in common that led to higher

retention rates.

For the sake o this piece, I want to high-

light one particular actor, though I do

encourage you to read the entire article in the

magazine. Te degree to which post-Bnai

Mitzvah teens are empowered by the con-

gregation to be involved in all acets o edu-

cation, worship and synagogue governance

increases the likelihood that students will stay

connected beyond Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

In other words, students want to play

a role in religious school as teachers and

specialists, be given the opportunity to be

Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutors, engage in social

justice, and eel that temple youth group

is valued by the leadership. Becoming an

adult in the Jewish community means that

we need to oer our students the prospect

to give back in healthy ways, and honing

the values and skills they learned in train-

ing or Bar/Bat Mitzvah while acknowl-

edging that a major transition has taken

place in our community.

Rabbi Daniel Weiner, emple De

Hirsch Sinais senior rabbi, oen high-

lights three entry points or post-Bnai

Mitzvah students to stay involved in syna-

gogue lie: Ongoing enrollment in our reli-

gion school through 12th grade,

youth group, and our hadracha

(teaching assistant) program.

Ideally, we hope that our stu-

dents will be involved in all

three. But in an age when teens

are balancing hectic school and

extra-curricular activity sched-

ules, our goal is that they carve

out time to do at least one.

Reecting on the actor I

mentioned above, aer consulting other

congregations that have successul models

while assessing our needs in the commu-

nity, I sat down with Leah Rosenwald,

our education and youth coordinator, to

revamp our current madrichim program,

giving it the new name Hadracha (guid-

ing). Students have traditionally been

assigned to classes to assist in the class-

room while serving as mentors to the

kids. Recognizing that not all o our stu-

dents want to be in classrooms, Leah and I

expanded the opportunities to incorporate

dierent tracks in which students work as

a team to enhance aspects o our educa-

tion program.

Tis upcoming years tracks will con-

sist o songleading, art, and classroom,

including all-school educational pro-

grams, and Kesher (grades 6-7)/junior

youth groups. Response has been very

positive, as already more than 30 mad-

richim have applied to work in the coming

Hadracha year.

Our goal, over time, is that this program

will grow and provide a viable opportu-

nity or post-Bnai Mitzvah students to

be involved, especially or those unable to

attend our high school. And the Hadracha

program incorporates many o the values

I mentioned beore empowerment and

ownership in temple. Our ultimate goal is

to curb Bnai Mitzvah attrition.

Te orah teaches us that we pass on

our tradition through our children, insur-

ing that Judaism will continue through-

out the ages. Keeping our teens involved

beyond Bar/Bat Mitzvah is critical to

making this a reality. As we approach this

High Holy Day season, may we experi-

ence renewed sense o creativity in pursu-

ing this difcult task or the uture o the

Jewish community.

J Street advocates orceully in the policy process, in Congress, in the media, and in the Jewi

community to ensure that public ofcials and community leaders see the depth and bread

o support or a viable two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conict among voters a

supporters in their states and districts.

Many advocacy and educational activities are conducted at the local level, including orum

public education, arts and cultural events, regional conerences, campus outreach, petition driv

letter-writing campaigns, and meetings with elected ofcials.

More than $1 million o ederal unding

is coming to Seattles Jewish community

rom a Department o Homeland Security

Grant Program or local synagogues and

organizations. Also, money rom a rans-

portation, Housing, and Urban Develop-ment spending bill will help Jewish Family

Service with the acility expansion o its

Capitol Hill campus in Seattle.

Jewish Family Service, the Jewish Feder-

ation o Greater Seattle, Herzl-Ner amid

Conservative Congregation, Sephardic

Bikur Holim, and emple De Hirsch Sinai

dont yet know the exact amount each will

receive rom the $308,914 Urban Areas

Security Initiative, but the $75,000 maxi-

mum request available to them will go a

long way in shoring up saety measures on

their properties.

Sephardic Bikur Holim requested

a little over $74,000 or target-harden-

ing purposes, Isaac Varon, chairman o

SBHs security committee, told JNews.

In general, we will be using the unds to

add a layer o security around our acility

and address specic weaknesses.

According to Varon, SBH received

a much smaller grant in 2008, and their

application was rejected in 2009.

Without these unds, Sephardic

Bikur Holim would not be able to imple-

ment major Phase 2 security improve-

ments to our acility, he said. Citing

security measures, he did not elaborate on

what those measures would be.

As one o the oldest urban synagogues

located in Seattles Central District,

emple De Hirsch Sinai has been activelysecuring its acility or years.

DHS executive director Larry Broder

said its hard work to keep up with current

technologies and increasingly malicious

threats, but warns that all Jewish institu-

tions should take their security very seri-

ously, and not to be complacent about it.

Our community not other com-

munities in more dangerous places

has been the victim o grafti, vandal-

ism, harassment, demonstrations, bomb

threats, and, sadly, the incredible damage

rom a lone-wol gunman, Broder told

JNewsvia e-mail.

Te gunman was Naveed Haq, who was

convicted last year o shooting six women,

killing one, when he orced his way into

the ofces o the Jewish Federation in July

2006.

Without speciying exactly how his

synagogue would use the DHS grant

money, Broder said he intends to meet the

challenge.

hreats evolve over time, Broder

said. In a time where the need is to nd

and wisely spend every available penny,

the grants go a long way to accomplishing

goals here at emple De Hirsch Sinai.

Herzl-Ner amid Conservative Con-

gregation is hoping to get approximately

$55,000, reported Carol Maslan, who

oversees the acility operations and mem-bership service at the synagogue. Teir

rst DHS award in a previous year was

$72,000.

In the ve years the program has been

in operation, the Federation has been a

grant recipient or all but one. Tat was

last year, said Zach Carstensen, the Fed-

erations director o government relations

and public aairs.

Our security needs change rom year

to year, Carstensen toldJNews. He said

the Federation requested $75,000. Tis

year we will improve the capabilities o

our cameras and make some ofce space

changes to enhance aer-hours security.

JFS requested $75,000, Claudia

Berman, chie operating ofcer or Jewish

Family Service told JNews. he ull

amount does not cover all our needs but

will make a substantial dierence.

Previously, the agency received $69,000

rom DHS. Berman said they used that

money or bullet-resistant glazing in

their central ofce location and additional

security improvements at both their Seat-

tle and Bellevue locations.

We have a great deal o comings an

goings rom our building, Berman sai

We are open to the public and, as a Jewi

organization, are cognizant that the

I their current building presents omidable security problems, then th

planned 19,000-sq.-., multi-story expa

Hebrew High, the 40-year-old program

or Jewish teens in Seattle, is gaining a new

partner. Seattles orah High, a three-year-old accredited supplementary religious

school, will merge with Hebrew High start-

ing this all, or a one-year trial run.

Hebrew High is an elective-based pro-

gram aimed at teens grades 9 through 12,

and is administered by the Jewish Edu-

cation Services department o the Jewish

Federation o Greater Seattle. orah

Highs origins hail rom a program in

oronto, Ont., started by Rabbi Glen

Black, that creates courses or Jewish teens

that organizers hope they nd exciting

while being educational at the same time.

Te Seattle orah High began as a pilot

program in the U.S. stricter regulations

here made getting accreditation, which

allows students to take the classes or

credit, a bigger challenge than in Canada.

For us, its been very, very difcult,

and were the rst one in the country to

actually do it successully, Ari Homan,

orah Highs dean, said. Everybody else

tries to do it by latching onto some other

school, and we werent able to.

Homan looked to local day schools to

see how they achieved accreditation. orah

High used the same agency, but as a sup-

plementary educational school, a designa-

tion specic to aer-school programs.

Te partnership o the two schools

comes rom the mutually attractive ea-

tures o both programs.

Teyre excellent at their marketing,

and theyve worked really hard over the

past three years to become an accredited

school, and that is something weve been

really interested in, said Amy Hilzman-

Paquette, Hebrew Highs principal. Its a

very arduous process.

Te idea o working together came

about when Homan, wanting to ensure

the two programs didnt collide, met with

Hilzman-Paquette and they decided run-

ning two similar programs no longer

made sense. Tat laid the groundwork or

this partnership.

While students will not be likely to see

much dierence between the two pro-

grams, nancial considerations keep the

two schools rom ofcially becoming a

single entity.

orah Highs unding includes a

grant rom the Samis Foundation, whic

approved the high school as an exceptio

to its usual unding or local Jewish da

schools, due to what Samis grants admin

istrator Rob oren called its out-o-th

box thinking. Te grant is restricted

use or orah High stafng. Similarl

HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR

1Along with 10,000

other bike riders and,

Im sure, a ew dozen or

more olks rom our Jewishcommunity, a group o riders

rom Seattles Congregation

Beth Shalom took o on July

18 or the annual two-day

double century (200 mile)

SP Seattle to Portland

bike ride.

Te groups nucleus was

Ellen Spear and Lori Saer, riends who

have been riding together a long time.

Weve probably ridden thousands o

miles together, Ellen told me a ew weeks

aer the ride. Both women did the RSVP

rom Seattle to Vancouver last year. Ellen

did the SP once beore.

When they decided to do the SP

together, they reached out to riends to

orm a training group. Not everyone who

trained did the ride, including Loris hus-

band Allen, who instead drove some o the

group home rom Portland.

It was a multi-generational team,

says Ellen, and a multi-congregational and

multi-aith group. Te team that weekend

included Loris son Martin, Rob Snyder

and his daughter Julia, Margot Kravette,

Donna Massoth and Leo Santiago and

their son Noah, who belong to emple

Beth Am, along with Rose Yu and Cathy

Jeney, who are not Jewish, but liked the

team.

Most o the team raised money or

Seattle Childrens along with a very

large group o riders on the entire tour.

Te hospital provided lunch

on both days.

he irst day, we didnt

ride together or much o thetime, explained Ellen, but

when meeting up we would

ridein a big, long pace line.

Despite the number o riders

and the distance covered,

we would bump into each

other at stops [and] would

have lunch together. he

team rode together more the

second day.

According to Wikipedia,

the Cascade Bicycle Clubs SP ride is

one o the 10 biggest recreational rides in

the country, drawing participants rom

around the U.S. and other countries. See

more at www.cascade.org.

2Kirkland resident Allison Kollack,

tax manager and CPA with Clark

Nuber, is the 2010 outstanding

graduate rom Golden Gate Universitys

Master o Science in axation program.

Te award is given to the student with the

highest grade point average in the class.

I didnt start out seeking that award,

says Allison, however, in my rst class I

got an A. Tat was ollowed by an A- and

another A, so it became a personal goal

to try and keep up the streak.

Allison got her undergraduate degree

rom University o Washington in 1998

and started the part-time GGU program

in 2005. In her eld, she says, a Masters

degree has become almost mandatory.

In order to progress in public account-

ing, it really is something you should do,

she says.

Golden Gates program is geared

toward working proessionals. Classes

are taught by CPAs, attorneys and other

area proessionals giving students the

chance to study real client situations.

In my ninth class I got a B, she

reports. I thought Id blown it. I was

really kind o disappointed. But she let it

go and so was pleasantly surprised to get

an e-mail early this summer telling her

shed made her goal.

Tis is a tremendous honor or Ali,

says Rob Wheeler, shareholder in charge

o Clark Nubers tax department. Te

are students rom rms all over Pug

Sound in the GGU program, and Al

selection is not only a tting reward

her hard workbutreects positive

on the rm and her co-workers.

Born and raised in Bellevue, the daugh

ter o Linda and Robert Kollack repr

sents the ourth generation o a Seatt

Jewish amily. Her great-grandather, S

Eseld, was instrumental in the estab

lishment o a number o local Jewis

friday, augusT 20, 2010 . www.JTNews.NeT . JTN whaT s your Jq?

Dear Rivy,

I am eeling less than thrilled about

the High Holidays this year. First, they

are really early just two days aer

Labor Day. Tis only exacerbates my

chronic challenge in connecting with thethemes o repentance. It is hard or me to

really engage with the whole introspec-

tion thing and the inner work expected

at this time o the year. o be honest,

I wish I could escape the whole thing.

Tough, to a certain degree, I am up

or the amily aspect the holiday get-

togethers, the New Years cards and the

honey cake, but I nd mysel truly lack-

ing at capturing what I know is the real

intention o this season.

Tat you are involved with at least

the accoutrements o this time o year is

not insignicant. It is the rst step; in the

words o the great Jewish thinker Saadiah

Gaon, Te heart is drawn by the deed. It

does happen, that our heart, our kavana

our intentionsare not completely in the

right place. Perhaps, we are on auto pilot,

merely going through the motions or

simply complying with amil-

ial expectations. Tough this

is not the ideal, it is better than

no involvement at all.

Consider this: Here you

are, wondering about more.hat can only be positive.

Perhaps you need a bit o a

jumpstart or your battery.

Consider this questionnaire

as the stimulus to get you

thinking and moving onto the

eshuvah rack, the road to repentance.

Tese less-than-subtle queries just might

urge you on to a more open place, spiritu-

ally preparing you or this time o year.

1. When was the last time you thought

about the condition o your soul? How

did you grow spiritually this year? What

steps did you take to nourish your soul?

Is it commensurate to the monetary

resources, the emotional energy, and the

time that you invest in your bodys well-

being? In what way have you been true to

your soul, to that which is your deepest

and most delicate o authentic voices?

his issue o soul really hit me

recently in a most unlikely

place, and certainly not in

any intense meditative expe-

rience. When we were visit-

ing our grandchildren, our

extremely exuberant and vivacious 4-year-old grand-

daughter Rachel would spon-

taneously burst orth in song

during our stay oen the

tefllot, the prayers she had

learned in her early child-

hood program. Tese songs

are oen an eclectic mix o

well-known nursery rhymes, American

tunes with Jewish words merged together.

Picture, in a high-pitched, incredibly cute

little voice, the melody o You Are My

Sunshine with these words instead:

Every morning when I am still sleeping

I open up my eyes and say,

Tank you Hashem or myneshama

For giving me another day!

O course, this is a paraphrase o the

amiliar and common morning prayer,

Modeh Ani. But something about hearing

it, ever so delicately, belted out unexpect-

edly and ull o whole-hearted devotio

on the boardwalk, in the car, on the play

ground, resonated deeply or me. I bega

to think, am I grateul or my nesham

my soul? Do I even begin to understand i

depths and capacity or inspiring authenticity and greatness? I was inspired

notice it anew.

2. How much time did you spend th

year truly giving to others? Putting you

sel in perhaps uncomortable or un

miliar situations to help others? We

your tzedakah gis refective not only

obligation but o generosity o the hea

as well?

As members o the Jewish comm

nity we are all provided with more tha

ample opportunities to give and to serv

Sometimes our giving gets into a rut. W

write the check and with our quick sign

ture discharge our obligation. Tat is n

and even commendable many organ

zations, schools and agencies rely on tho

very checks. Te question is, could the

extremists to adhere to maximalist demands,

and makes it less likely that Israelis will trust

that the international community that supports

one-sided boycotts is acting in good faith.

If the boycotters and their supporters were

to really act in good faith, or at least to be con-

sistent, they wouldnt stop at boycotting gro-

cery products. Theyd boycott Israeli products

across the board. This would include most

computers, since Israel helped to develop the

Intel Pentium chip, Windows MP, XP and Vista

as well as Microsoft Ofce. Theyd have to boy-

cott Google and cell phones developed in Israel

by Motorola, as well as voice mail and camera

phones. Thousands of products that were

developed through technological innovations

in Israel, in agriculture, aerospace, energy,

pharmaceuticals, and bio-medicine would also

be off limits.

But naturally, the self-righteous boycotters

and their legions of supporters arent inter-

ested in such banalities. Because their inten-

tions are much grander and insidious. The

boycott is part of a broader movement to

ostracize Israel from the family of nations, to

demonize the Jewish State, and ultimately set

the stage for either its destruction or its dis-

solution.

SEATTLE A new plan is being unveiled for local teleporting services right here in Seattle. Residents

looking for a quick, stress-free way to make it home for the High Holidays will now be able to use this

service to travel to their Rosh Hashanah dinner in mere minutes. For the many Seattleites worried that

they may not make it to Benaroya Hall in t ime for the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattles Community

Celebration and Campaign Kick-Off, teleporting will offer the perfect solution. I am so relieved that I

will be able to teleport to the Campaign Kick-Off eventnow I know I wont miss a single minute said

an ecstatic Mercer Island resident.

Okay, there will be no teleporting in

Seattle anytime soon, but you will want

to be sure youre in town forLaugh Your

Way to Giving, The Sequel, the Jewish

Federations Campaign Kick-Off event.

This years event features writers fromthe national satirical publication

The Onion in an original show they

have created just for Seattle and

the Jewish Federation. On Wednesday

evening, October 6, three members

of The Onions talented staff

including their editor-in-chief

will present a hilarious show using their signature

satire to give us a unique view on local, national and world affairs.

For over two decades, The Onion has been using humor to offer readers an alternative take on what

is happening in our world. As the self-proclaimed, Americas Finest News Source and the last bastion

of unbiased, reliable, and definitive news in a world dominated by superficiality, mediocrity, and non-

Onion news outlets, some may quibble with their claim of reliable news, but they are undoubtedly

funny and The New Yorker considers The Onion The funniest publication in the United States.

We hope you will join us for this evening of community togetherness in what promises to be

a great night. Tickets include a pre-show dinner buffet of international cuisine. Learn more

and register at www.JewishInSeattle.org/Laugh or contact Rebecca Cohen at 206 774-2272

or [email protected].

Education Services is excited to start the new school year with the Back-to-School professional development

conferences for teachers and educators.

Renowned lecturer Diane Ganger will facilitate workshops on Reflective Practice: A Tool for

Classroom Excellence. Reflective practice involves asking questions, and listening to, observing and

knowing students, families, colleagues and oneself. Through dialogue, small-group discussion, role-playing

exercises and examples from the field, participants will learn how reflection supports learning and whyit is key in engaging students and parents.

Diana will also facilitate a special session for education directors and heads of school that will focus on building

support for the teachers to take what they learn in the workshops and apply it in their own classrooms.

Teachers can earn STARS, Clock, and Jewish Teaching Certificate credits for attending the session.

Youve never met them, but they know you.

Every day, you help Jews in Seattle and around the world.

Your assistance keeps Jeremy safe and warm in Seattle, administers

food and medicine to Sophie and others in the countries of the

former Soviet Unionsome of the poorest Jews in the world.

Your aid rescues Miranda and Jews in Georgia and Yemen from

ghting and persecution and enables Eli to have a Jewish education.

Lastly, you provided the opportunity for Israeli counselors whose

families are from Ethiopia to connect to our Seattle kids at camp.

Jewish family. You provide a critical lifeline to them, and thousands

of others. Only through your support of the Jewish Federation

can one gift touch so many lives. Our mission is to ensure a

vibrant Jewish community that is connected locally, in Israel and

worldwide. We are honored to be partners with you.
