Through the many years
that I have been in Lexington’s
Jewish community, I have always
looked forward to the new secular
year. This may sound corny,
however, the new year always
offers me opportunities to work
and participate in one of the most
noble endeavors that our commu-
nity undertakes: raising money to
fund Jewish needs both in our
own community as well as the
world over.

The Central Kentucky
Jewish Federation is the local
entity that this community uses to
support:

a) The needs of Jews in
the State of Israel;

b) The needs of Jews
facing persecution anywhere in
the world;

c) The needs of Jews to
help each other in our own com—
munity.

The Central Kentucky
Jewish Federation is the local
entity that this community uses to
support:

a) Jewish education of
the children of our community;

b) Jewish education of
the young adults and students of
our community;

c) Jewish education and
community experience of the
mature adults in our community.

The Central Kentucky
Jewish Federation is the local

support:

a) Our Jewish Family

c) Worthy community

The CKJF Campaign
Committee has met several times
already this year to plan and
implement the fund raising effort
for 1996. The Committee needs
your help, not only monetarily,
but as a volunteer worker. They
need your participation if it is
only for an hour or if it is more
extensive. The members of the
Committee are named elsewhere

December Torah Portions

Shabbat Shira
February 3, BeShallach
Exodus 13:17-17:16

Upon the Israelites leaving
Egypt. G—d decides to lead the
people via the long route in order
to avoid confronting the
Philistines which could frighten
the Israelites into return to Egypt.
They are led by a pillar of clouds
by day, and a pillar of fire at
night.

Pharaoh leads his army to
recapture the Israelites. The peo-
ple are frightened and turn on
Moses. Moses raises his staff and
the sea splits. The people cross
the sea while Pharaoh’s pursuing
army is drown when Moses raises
his staff over the sea a second time.

The name for this Sabbath.
Shabbat Shim means the Shabbat
of song, is derived from the song
sung by the Israelites at the sea
after being saved from the
1; Iran arm

Three days later, the people
complain about the lack of fresh
water. G-d shows Moses a tree
which is cast into the water mak—
ing it drinkable.

The people complain about the
lack of food. G-d sends a unique
food called manna. Each family
is supposed to take only enough
to eat for one day, except on
Friday when they are to take
enough for Shabbat as well.

Once again the people contend
with Moses about water, who
brings water from a rock.
Immediately following they are
attacked by the tribe of Amalek,
descendants of Esau. As long as
Moses, standing on a hill, holds
out his staff, the Israelites prevail.
Hur and Aaron support Moses’
ann until the battle is was won.

G-d tells Moses to write this
down as a testimony that the
Amalekites will be blotted out
completely.

February 10, Yitro
Exodus 18:1 - 20:23

This portion is named after
Moses’ father-in—law. After
reuniting Moses with his family,
Yitro (Jethro) notices that Moses
is the ajudicator for all of the
problems of the Israelites. He

. It is eliuiited in

Rabbi Eric R. Slaton

Commentary

 

 

suggests to Moses that he appoint
judges to do the bulk of the work,
while Moses serves as the highest
authority. Moses realizes the wis-
dom of this suggestions and
implements it immediately.

G—d tells Moses that the
Israelites are to be God‘s special
people. G—d orders them to pre—
pare by purifying themselves and
by marking a border around the
base of the mountain around
which they are encamped. Any
living thing which touches the
mountain will die.

On the third day Moses
ascends the mountain which is
covered with smoke and which
quaked with thunder. On top of
the mountain, Moses receives the
Decalogue and the rest of the
mitzvot.

Most Jews are not aware that
the name Ten Commandments is
the Christian name for the
Decalogue. In Hebrew it is the
Aseret Ha Dibrot, the ten pro-
nouncements. According to

Jewish tradition. there are IIL‘IU'JI’

mitzvot contained in
Decalogue. Jewish tradition
teaches that the first pronounce-
ment is, [am the Eternal Your G—
d who brought you out of the [and
of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage. In the Christian tradi-
tion, this is part of the preamble.
One can understand the theologi-
cal reason the Church wanted to
exclude the first pronouncement
from the Decalogue.

Shabbat Shekalim
February 10,
Mishpatim

Exodus 21:1—24:I8
Maftir Shekalim Exodus
30:11-16

The word Mishpatim means
laws. This parsha contains many
laws which Moses receives on top
of Mt. Sinai on a variety of sub—
jects. A partial listing of the laws
by topics:

' Proper treatment of Hebrew
slaves.

- The punishment for premedi—
tated and unintentional mur-
der, injuring or cursing a par-
ent, and kidnapping.

' Fair compensation for per-
sonal injury, punishment for
killing or injuring a slave.

0 When pregnant woman is

the I

unintentionally injured and
miscarries, the injurer must
pay monetary compensation.

(From this law the Rabbis derived

that a fetus is not a human for

there is no monetary compensa-
tion for killing another person.

Monetary compensation is paid

only for personal injury. In this

case, the fetus is considered as
part of the mother’s body).

' Laws concerning a goring ox.

- Compensation for damage
due to an open hole, the
penalties for stealing, dam-
age to property by grazing or
fire.

° The responsibility for proper-
ty left in someone’s care.
Laws concerning the seduc-
tion of a virgin, occult prac—
tices, idolatry and oppres-
sion.

0 One cannot charge interest or
press for immediate repay-
ment when lending to the
poor.

- Accept the authority of the
courts, do not eat torn flesh

' , Law‘s concernint'he‘sWt—ab- '

lishment of justice.

° What to do with stray or fall-
en animals.

- The Sabbatical year and the
Sabbath day.

- Observe the festivals.

' When entering the land of
Canaan, follow the instruc—
tions of G-d’s messengers,
and do not follow the prac-
tices of the people nor make
treaties with them.

The covenant is sealed as sac-
rifices are made on twelve pil-
lared altar. The leaders have a
mystical vision of G-d.

Moses ascends to the top of
the mountain to receive the stone
tablets, and remains for forty days.

The maftir is an additional
portion that is read in traditional
Synagogues. The mafiir refers to
the 1/2 shekel tax that was used in
the wilderness to make a census.
Rather than counting the
Israelites, which is strictly forbid-
den, the money that was paid by
each individual was counted. In
later time one half shekel was
paid for the maintenance of the
Temple. This maftir is read on
the first Shabbat of Adar, which
precedes Purim. Today it is still
collected and given to Tzedakkah.

Exodus 25:1-27zl9

The word Terumah means
offering. All those who wanted
were to give an offering of vari-
ous items for the building of the
Tabernacle, the portable place of
worship. Curtains surrounded a
courtyard. Inside the courtyard
was the altar, used for making
sacrifices. The mishkan (tent)
stood at the far end of the court-
yard. The mishkan was divided
into two sections by the parochet
(curtain). Only the kohanim were
allowed inside the tent. An ark
was built into which was placed
the tablets of law and compart‘
ment. This was placed in the
holiest part of the mishkan. In
the other part was an incense
altar, a seven branched menorah
called the nair tamid (eternal
light). ' ,

M'ost synagogues have the
same three parts as does the
mishkan. The courtyard cerre-

Free Enterprise in Democratic Israel?

by Michael E. Ade/stein, Contributing Editor

The "Wall Street's
Joumal" Robert Pollock has recently
written about the coming victory of
Israel's bureaucrats against US
entrepreneurship.

His article concerns the
story of David Yerushalmi's efforts
as CEO of the Israel Export
Development Co. (IEDC), which
was composed of Jewish-American
investors, to operate a 500~acre
area where businesses would not be
subject to Israel's taxes and
regulations.

More than 100 companies
were interested in locating in the
zone. Sprint was ready to provide
overseas telecommunications at
rates one-quarter of those in Israel,
and Merrill Lynch and Salomon
were ready to underwrite the first
phase of construction.

In June 1994, the Knesset
approved of the free-processing

months later. it has not met the law‘s
requirement to choose a private
concessionaire to operate the FI’Z.

Why? Pollock blames
Finance Ministry bureaucrats who
have prepared 33 "corrections" to
the FPZ that would destroy the
economic viability of the zone,
eliminating 60% of the interested
companies, including American
Express.

When Rabin was informed
of these ”corrections," hc phoned the
Finance Minister. Axraham Shohat,
to stop the changes. One w cek latcr
Rabin was assassinated. Pollock
states that the changes have not
been stopped because Shohat in an
election year is in a powerful

position, and the new Prime
Minister has no political stake in the
legislation.

Also, the FPZ is criticized
by free-market critics. They argue

taxation and regulation should not
be reserved only for wealthy
Americans. Yeiushalmi, the IEI)C
head, agrees and hopes that the
1994 FPZ law would allow the
creation of other free—trade zones.

The critics also point to
Intel's locating a $1.6 billion
manufacturing plant in Israel. But
Pollock points out that the
govemmcnt has subsidized the
1,500 jobs to the extent of $600
million while the FI’Z would
provide 20.000 to 50.000 jobs at no
cost to taxpayers.

David Yerushalmi, who
moved to Israel in 1992, stands
personally to lose about $8 million.
Millions more will be lost by
companies scuttling their plans.
Yerushalmi wonders. "Do they
believe that American Jews will just
keep coming back for more?"

Southern 5 Lesson to Learn
The ‘December The “Hanging of the change my opinion or lifestyle sibility for this education.

Dilemma’ has past, yet its reper-
cussions remain. I am referring to
the controversy over Southern
Elementary’s “Hanging of the
Greens” program.

Jewish parents, con-
cerned with their children feeling
left out with Southern’s existing
Christmas program, set about to
open discussion for change. The
idea was to eliminate religion
from the program and instead
focus on unity and peace.

The program was in fact
altered to eliminate religious ref-
erences. The change, brought
about through the proper commit-
tee and voting channels, was
approved and implemented, yet a
small but verbal group of parents
and teachers were incensed.
Cruel and insensitive things were
said, such as suggesting non—
Christian children sit’in another
room during the program.

Segregating children

their season oflove and caring for
humankind is a dichotomy
acceptable only to those with
weak minds and cold bigoted
hearts.

~~while others supposedly celebrate ‘

Greens” issue has unveiled bla-
tant anti-Semitism on the part of
some parents and teachers. For
example, Jewish parents were
maligned on a talk show radio
program, Southern’s school prin-
cipal’s car was egged after a site-
based committee meeting con-
cerning the December school pro-
gram, and, to this day, angry letv
ters from parents continue in the
Herald Leader's editorial section.
Parents even organized
an evening Christmas program
complete with a Nativity, at
Southern. I feel this had nothing
to do with Christmas and its spirit
— only the parents trying to prove
a point, their way or no way.
Allow me to quote from
a school parent’s letter to the
Herald Leader editor, “ The last
straw came with I received a let—
ter from Southern'Elementary’s-
school counselor informing par~
ents to be more tolerant in order
for our children to survive-in
today’s society. Why can’t the
minority be more tolerant of the
lifestyles and culture of the
majority?...I resent being labeled
as intolerant when I refuse to

just to cater to the minority."

The letter further states.
“Since this is a democracy, I
expected the majority would pre-
vail." In voting majority rules,
but this is not to mean minorities
have no place in our society.
Having only one way to do every-
thing is actually more along the
lines of communism. And, in this
case, the majority voted to change
the program, now its opposers fail
to respect that outcome, and
instead place blame on the Jewish
minority for taking away their
“lifestyle."

Where does all this take
us but back to the classroom, and
I don’t mean for the students.
Many parents and faculty have
shown sensitivity and support for
all people, including minorities;
however there exists a group of

‘ individuals that still have a lot to

learn.

We all share the respon-

Whether our children are at
Southern or not, teaching others
to be aware and respect minorities
is everyone’s job. As Jews we
will probably always be a minori-
ty in central Kentucky, however if
we all work together and speak
out against every instance of anti-
Semitism, then hopefully the next
generation of Jews will spend
more time being Jews, rather than
defending their right to be a Jew.
