MAKING OUR
PEOPLE WHOLE

 

n 14 May 1999, corresponding to 28 Iyar 575 8, we

observe Yom Yerushalayim. We celebrate the day on

which, after years of being a city divided in every
sense of the word, Jerusalem again became whole. At least that
is what we like to think. The reality, as we are well aware, is
that although the city is technically and geographically a single
entity, it remains a politically and religiously divided city. The
same would seem to hold true for the Jewish people. As Jews,
we speak, write, and study about “the Jewish people”. Non -
Jews also are inclined to group us all together and think of us as
“The Jews”. Whether the belief espoused is generous, e.g.
“You Jews are so smart”, or derogatory, e.g. “All those Jews
are rich”, the comment tends to generalize. (Before you jump
down my throat, I admit up front that the same penchant to
stereotype is true for just about any other “minority groups.
When we don’t know the truth, we manufacture what we think
the truth should be. I’m simply limiting this discussion to my
thoughts about Jews) ‘Iiifa‘cffiwe I I I. . i . a
people as can lie iiiiagiiietl. (lur dillerenees .iie e\ itleni iii e\ ei'y
aspect ofour Jewish identity and lives. But differences and
diversity do not mean we have to be a divided people.

Some months ago, I wrote an anecdote about my nephew
David who, at the ripe old age of four, taught me a most mean—
ingful lesson. I had to chastise him for some reason or other and
used the time worn admonition, “Is that any way for a nice
Jewish boy to behave?” His response was that he was not a
nice Jewish boy. So I asked him what he was and he an-
swered, with the wisdom of innocence, “I‘m a human being.”
For all his lack of sophistication, he was able to see himself as
part of a larger picture. It would seem that many ofus have lost
this invaluable ability. We limit our identity by speaking of
ourselves as Jews who attend a specific Temple or Synagogue,
or as Jews who follow a particular construct of Judaism, or as
secular or religious Jews, or as Zionists or non-Zionists, or as an
adherent - or opponent — ofany ofthe myriad other cliques or
movements or factions that are open to us. We seem to have
lost the vision that allows each of us to see all of us as valid
Jews. We comfort ourselves by identifying only with those Jews
who subscribe to tenets which are compatible with our own and
by deriding Jews whose convictions differ from our own.

“JUST WHAT IS KABALAH, ANYWAY?”
LECTURE JUNE 6

EXINGTON, KY--Rabbi Yitzchok Preis, director of The Learning Forum in Cincin-
nati, will present a lecture entitled “Just What Is Kabalah, Anyway?” at 7:30 pm. on
Sunday, June 6, 1999 at the home of Jamie and Cheryl Schloss, 3800 Bryan Station
Road in Lexington.
Kabalah is based on the mystical Jewish philosophy found in the early texts The Zohar
and The Book of Formation. The term Kabalah derives from the Hebrew word kabeil
meaning “to receive.” Traditionally

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shrouded in mystery, Rabbi Preis
will explain the historical, religious
and metaphysical dimensions of
Kabalah.

Preis will address the role and
relevance of Kabalah and discuss
its significance within the broader
context of Torah. “The term
Kabalah is becoming more and more prevalent,” Preis commented. “Unfortunately the term
and the concepts being referred to are invariably being misused and some points of clarifica-
tion can be of great benefit.”

Preis will explain why Kabalah has been and remains to be such a mysterious body of
knowledge. He will also display some of the inspiring lessons implicit in the very concept of
Kabalah.

The Learning Forum is the outreach arm of the Cincinnati Community Kollel, a center for
Torah scholarship and community learning. The Kollel offers programming in a variety of
venues such as home study groups, discovery seminars and university campus outreach.

For further information about the upcoming lecture, or to reserve a seat, please call
Cheryl Gersch Schloss at 606/290—0808. 4%

”The term Kabalah is becoming more

FEATURE

FROM BERLIN TO BERLIN

by Michael E. Adelslcin

 

 

rom Irving Berlin to Isiah Berlin,

there have been few like them. My

intent was to write about both, the
great songwriter and the brilliant philosopher,
but it is impossible to do justice to the two in
such a short space. So let’s start with the
lowbrow and move higher in the next issue.

The revival of Irving Berlin’s delightfiil
musical, “Annie Get Your Gun,” a current hit
on Broadway, brings back fond memories to
my mind. I had returned fiom the war (that’s
WWII, son) and looked forward to seeing
one of my favorites, Ethel Merman, belt out
the songs in her own brassy, sassy way.

But what I didn’t expect was to hear such
an array of incredible melodies that still
resonate in my head as I type their titles:
“There’s No Business Like Show Business,”
“AnythingYouCanDo,” "l'ltey Say It’s
Wonderful,” “The Girl That I Marry,” “Doing
What Comes Naturally,” and “You Can’t Get a
Man with a Gun” (referring to Annie’s passion
for Buffalo Bills’ sharpshooter Frank Butler).

Who was this talented songwriter, Irving
Berlin, who stepped in afier Jerome Kem’s
death in 1945 to write these songs in just
two months (“Anything You Can Do” in 15
minutes!)? This was the same Irving Berlin
who has given us the great American classic,
“God Bless America,” and although a Jew,
has ironically celebrated the two most
important Christian holidays with his “White

’ Christmas” and “Easter Parade.”

These three songs were not flukes. They
belong to a corpus of works that numbered
899 copyrighted songs, 451 being classified

; as “hits,” 282 ranking in the Top Ten (re-

member the Hit Parade?), and 35 (yes 35)

" ‘ ratedasNo. 1!

From whence came this talent? J ulliard?

. Oberlin? Indiana? No. If attributable to
; anyone, it might have come from Berlin’s
: father, a cantor in Siberia, who brought

Irving, the youngest of ei ght children, to
America in 1893. Here he was raised in four
dank rooms on Cherry Street, a slum in
New York’s Lower East Side while his

father worked as a poultry inspector.

At thirteen, despondent at not being able to
help his family, Irving ran away. Poorly
educated and with no skills, he sang in saloons
and on street corners with his raspy tenor
voice, finally finding steady work as a singing
waiter in Chicago’s Pelham Cafe. Here he
gained some popularity as a parodist by
improvising racy lyrics to the popular tunes of
the day. After publishing his first song, “Marie
from Sunny Italy,” in 1907, he changed his
name from Israel Baline to Irving Berlin.

In the next seven years, he published 190
songs, sometimes turning out four or five a
night by writing from eight o’clock in the
evening to five in the moming. “You can
imagine how many bad ones I wrote,” he told
his first biographer, Alexander Woolcott.

He worked furiously. Moss Hart, who col-
laborated with Berlin on several occasions, is
quoted as stating, “Writing a show with Irving
Berlin is tantamount to entering a monastery.

You live it, breathe it, eat it, and were it not for

the fact that he allows you no sleep at all, I
should say sleep it.”

Hard work Will €le 6W

be talent. Berlin’s was improbable. He
couldn’t read or write music, and played only
on the black keys of the piano, in the key of
F-sharp. But with the help of musical secretar-
ies, he was able to publish his songs. He
attributed his success with the lyrics to the fact
that he had a limited vocabulary so he had to
write simple phrases. Also, he seriously
studied the heroic couplets of the eighteenth
century’ 5 great English poet, Alexander Pope,
using not only end rhymes but interior ones for
effect. One example from the lovesick Annie:
“You can’t shoot a male in the tale like a quail,
oh you can’t get a man with a gun.”

It is not only amazing that Berlin could
write such memorable songs with so little
education or musical knowledge, but that he
could give such pleasure to others in View of
the tragedy in his own life. He recalls his
Russian home being burned to the ground,
departing from that country at five, losing his
father at twelve, leaving home at thirteen,
having his wife die of typhoid fever on their
honeymoon in Cuba when he was 24 and an
infant son from a second marriage pass away
when he was 40, and losing a small fortune in

Berlin continued on page 5

THAT ALL MAY WORSHIP

by Cookie Wenneker
his spring several members of Temple Adath Israel participated in a community-wide
I interfaith conference entitled “That All May Worship.” I would like to share some of my
reactions to the Conference with you. Initially, I was pleased to note the tremendous
response to the day long event which focused on providing an inclusive atmosphere for people
> with disabilities in our churches and synagogues. Attending the Conference were many persons
with disabilities, family members and friends, professionals in the disability field, religious and lay
leaders and faculty and students from several colleges and seminaries. It was apparent from the
large registration and the enthusiasm generated in a year long planning effort by many congrega-
tions that there is a strong desire to network and share frustrations as well as successes.

Secondly, I became aware during the conference day of a shift in attitude from a similar type of
conference I attended in Lexington about five years ago. Five years ago those gathered seemed
to dwell on how we can “mission” to or, in “Jewish language,” how we can do mitzvahs for
people with disabilities. This spring it was, “How can J onny who has some challenging behaviors
due to his autism be fiilly included in worship services?” Or, “How can we facilitate J eff’ 5 full
participation in Jewish cooking classes, even as we are aware that he has mental retardation and
some difliculty with small motor coordination?”

Thirdly, as I shared with others through the day about my personal experiences in TA] for 35
years, I felt good about how our congregation, in a very natural and spontaneous way includes
many of our folks with disabilities and special needs. Unfortunately not all have felt included.

Fourthly, I thought about ways that the Jewish Community can facilitate even more participa-
tion by persons with special needs. I concluded that the best way to accomplish this was to learn
of the interests and concerns of individuals and families and what supports they might need.
Supports might include a ride to activities in the Jewish Community (to facilitate independence

r from family in some cases as well as to facilitate friendships), some adaptive equipment such as
large print materials, a friend to join in Sabbath worship, or a teaching assistant in a child’ s
religious school class. Other supports might be related to full participation in youth group including

H mm in identifying a good match for a host family at an outaotftoum conclaveor fuller partia—
pation by persons with diSabilities 1n leadership roles 1n the Jewish Community. Though the most ‘
effective outreach will probably be from one person to one person, the bulletins and Shalom can
also serve to welcome all members and suggest specific supports. In
