Reflections from Rabbi Estelle
How is Jewish law (Halakah) determined for new issues and how does it change, even reverse, laws that are more than 700 years old?
How do we know what Judaism says to us about the current Syrian Refugee Crisis or on what bathrooms transgender individuals should use? During the past couple of our Saturday morning study sessions, we have examined how Jewish law, called Halakah in Hebrew, is determined by looking at the Responsa (rabbinical literature comprised of authoritative replies in letter form made by noted rabbis or Jewish scholars to questions sent to them concerning Jewish law). These study sessions have also provided an understanding of the different denominational movements (from Humanistic to Chabad) in the United States today and how they are differ in determining Jewish Law. It is, however, one thing to accept a ruling concerning a new problem as for example the refugee crisis or on the use of microwaves. But how can a law that Jews have been following for over 700 years old be overturned? In what has become nearly as controversial a halakic decision as the Reform Movement’s decision of 1973 to accept patrilineal descent (that a child of a Jewish father is considered Jewish if the child is raised as a Jew as exemplified by Jewish life cycle events), the Conservative Movement has just very recently declared it is acceptable to eat kitniyot (legumes) on Passover. This change allowed foods such as rice, corn, and beans to be eaten this Passover by Ashkenazi Conservative Jews. The custom of Jews of Eastern European descent to avoid rice, corn, and other legumes was “mentioned for the first time in France and Provence in the 13th century… From there it spread to various countries and the list of prohibited foods continued to expand. (Continued on page 2) 1
Nevertheless, the reason for the custom was unknown and, as a result, many rabbis invented at least 12 different explanations for the custom” wrote one of the rabbis in his explanation for the change. The custom was never accepted or adopted by Sephardic Jews who have always eaten legumes. The rational given for the new decision is changing demographics in America as the decision was made in 1989 to allow the eating of these foods for all Conservative Jews in Israel. The reason behind that decision was that in Israel “Ashkenazim were a minority and the Sephardim and Ashkenazim were mixing through marriage. Similarly, the response states “there have been substantive changes in the makeup of the American Jewish community over the course of the past few decades. In addition to strong Persian and Syrian populations, more and more Israelis have been moving to the United States.” In response to the changes in American demographics, Manischewitz, in 2014 debuted a new label called Kitni, with products including tahini, a packaged rice and lentil dish, and peanut butter — all kosher for Passover. The rabbis in the Responsa literature wrote that “the fact that a major American label sees a need for this in the United States, it’s an indication that the American Jewish community is becoming similarly mixed, as the Israeli community has been.” For many Conservative Jews, this change was greeted with much happiness as Passover with rice and beans allowed for a whole new set of recipes. However, for others such as the senior rabbi at the congregation at which I currently work, this change was not only questioned, it was rejected. As Rabbi David Fine, who is a former member of the Conservative Law Committee explained “the ruling means that the sole official position of the Conservative movement is that it is okay to eat these items. That does not mean, though, that there is any commandment to go and eat them. I agree completely with the dissenting opinion. I am not convinced that there is any compelling reason to overturn a 700-year-old precedent that is a defining characteristic of Ashkenazi tradition. My concern is that if we are to permit eating kitniyot because there is no good “reason” not to, then we might end up permitting a lot of other things and wish we had retained a greater role for the force of tradition. That being said, I fully respect the authority of my colleagues on the Law Committee, and the right of any one of us to accept their ruling and eat kitniyot within our otherwise Passover diet.” Generally, from what I have heard this ruling has caused a division among the Conservative Jews who welcome it and those who are not able to accept it. As Reform Jews, we are told to look at each law and the facts behind it and make an educated, individual decision. The change of the Conservative movement gives each of us an opportunity to reexamine our own views and to re-affirm or change our current decisions. For the philosophy of Reform Judaism is educated, individual choice. Do you choose to continue follow a 700 year tradition or do you change due to there not be clear cut reason for establishing the tradition. As Reform Jews, either answer is correct for us. I am happy to know that as a Reform Jew I can and will take the next eleven months until Passover comes again to examine which side I am in agreement with. In invite each of you to do the same… as each time there is any change in circumstances, we must reevaluate for ourselves where we stand so that our Judaism remains relevant and meaningful.

SPECIAL EVENTS FROM MARCH AND APRIL
At the March meeting of Temple Beth Sisterhood, we discussed refurbishing the chairs on the bema, a project that hopefully will be accomplished over the summer. Following the business meeting, we held our annual Book Review, with this year’s choice being Judy Blume’s In the Unlikely Event. Our investments at Edward Jones continue to thrive, in part due to donations to the Sisterhood Building Fund, chaired by Susanne Singer. Please remember to utilize this wonderful way of honoring, memorializing, congratulating, praising…the list is endless, but the recipients of your thoughtfulness are so appreciative, and Sisterhood is able to continue helping our beloved temple. On Friday, May 13th, an Interfaith Service will be held when we invite the community to worship with us and then socialize downstairs at an oneg. Details will be forthcoming, but all members of Sisterhood will be asked to contribute to this event. Our year- end meeting will on Tuesday, May 17th with a Dutch treat lunch at the Golden Leaf Bistro. All current officers have agreed to serve another 2-year term and will be reinstalled at this time. It has been a joy working with our “small but mighty” group of dedicated women and I look forward to even more success stories in the year ahead. Ronnie Mand, Sisterhood President
Our Nosh and Knowledge sessions with Rabbi Estelle on Saturday mornings continue to be quite interesting learning experiences. In March, in conjunction with the upcoming primary elections, our Torah study topic was Democracy and Elections. Our April our Torah study concerned the welcoming of refugees and the position taken by each of the nine branches of Judaism. We learned quite a lot about each of the branches in regard to their responses to the question, “What is our responsibility as Jews toward Syrian refugees?” As you can see, it’s worth coming on Saturday mornings when Rabbi Estelle is with us!
Congregants from Ohev Zion Congregation joined us for Shabbat services on Friday, March 5th and then we traveled to Martinsville on April 15th. Both evenings were filled with joy and friendship and we look forward to doing this again next year. 8
Our annual Passover Seder was held on Friday night, April 22 nd. There are so many thank yous…to my co-chairs Melanie Vaughan and Ronnie Mand, for the planning, shopping, cooking, setting up…the list is endless; matzahball maker, Bernard Baker; flower arranger, Faye Kushner; service leader, Peter Howard; and each family for bringing their specialty item. It was a wonderful evening of learning, eating, singing, and enjoying being together as a congregational family. Jo Ann Howard, Co-chair
Our Purim celebration on March 26th proved to be an evening to remember! Thank you to our chairmen, Ronnie Mand and Carol Caplan, who welcomed us into a festive social hall – the decorations alone let everyone know that there was fun in store! Almost everyone came dressed in costumes, we all noshed on delicious hord’voures, sipped wine and smelled Havdalah spices, and then enjoyed a delicious dinner. And then………..the Purim story was read by all, the graggars blocked out Haman’s name, and of course, Esther saved the day. But that wasn’t the end of our evening…we had lots of Jewish humor, planned and unplanned. Yes, a fun time was had by all!

A Bit of Jewish Humor Want Ad Seen in the University of Texas student newspaper: Sweet, little old Jewish lady wishes to correspond with UT undergraduate. Prefers six-foot male with brown eyes answering to initials: J.D.B. Signed, His Mother
Four International Businessmen A Catholic, a Protestant, a Muslim and a Jew were discussing business during a dinner. Catholic: "I have a large fortune... I am going to buy CITIBANK!" Protestant: "I am very wealthy and will buy GENERAL MOTORS!" Muslim: "I am a fabulously rich prince... I intend to purchase SABIC!" They then all wait for the Jew to speak... The Jew stirs his coffee, places the spoon neatly on the table, takes a sip of his coffee, looks at them and casually says: "I'M NOT SELLING!"
The Big Squeeze The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all of the juice would run into a glass, and then hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze out one more drop of juice would win the money. Many people had tried over time (weightlifters, longshoremen, etc.), but nobody could do it. One day this scrawny Jewish fellow came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a tiny squeaky voice, “I’d like to try the bet.” After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the Jewish fellow. But the crowd’s laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1,000 and asked the little Jewish man, “What do you do for a living. Are you a lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?” The Jewish fellow replied, “I work for the Jewish National Fund.”

May/June 2016 Danville “Let no stranger be alone on this night, and let all who are hungry come and eat.” So our prayer goes at the beginning of each Seder, when we start to tell the story of how God saved the Israelites from slavery in Mitzrahim, “the narrow place.” Even within this central story of God’s redemption, we Jews ask questions. Why did God harden Pharaoh’s heart? Why did innocents have to suffer in order for the Israelites to be freed? And of course, why is this night different from all other nights? As with so much in Judaism, we have here a model of “endless questioning, in which the answer does not totally silence the questioner.” (From The Torah: A Women’s Commentary) What does this have to do with Hadassah? Here too, we find significant questions that require serious answers. Henrietta Szold, the founder of Hadassah, had suffered a crushing blow in her personal life and had to ask “what do I do with my life now?” Her answer was to take up a quest to improve the health of those living in Palestine in the early 20th century. Because of her question and its answer, Hadassah continues to work towards tikkun olam, both in Israel and in the United States. “The Power of Women Who Do” attempts to answer the hard questions: What is Zionism? What does it mean to be a Zionist? How do we put our Jewish values into practice in today’s world? Where do feminist issues fit into this framework? The answers have been numerous and inspiring. From the Hadassah hospitals in Israel, to cutting edge medical research, to advocacy for issues of particular concern to women, to Youth Aliyah efforts and support for Young Judaea, Hadassah members and associates continue to provide advocacy and service in areas of great need. Hadassah continues to work towards redeeming the world from the ills that beset it, inspired not just by our namesake Esther but by the brave women of the Passover story as well: the Hebrew midwives, Pharaoh’s daughter, Miriam and Jochoved, and all the unnamed women who were a part of this narrative and whose stories have been lost to us. Happy Passover to all! Martha Woody, President

Yom Ha'atzmaut is celebrated on the 5th day of Iyar in the Hebrew calendar, the anniversary of the day on which Israeli independence was proclaimed, when future prime minister, David Ben-Gurion publicly read the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The corresponding Gregorian date was May 14, 1948. This year, the date is Thursday, May 12. The mood outside of Ben-Gurion's home just prior to the declaration was joyous: "The Jews of Palestine were dancing because they were about to realize what was one of the most remarkable and inspiring achievements in human history: A people which had been exiled from its homeland two thousand years before, which had endured countless pogroms, expulsions, and persecutions, but which had refused to relinquish its identity —which had, on the contrary, substantially strengthened that identity; a people which only a few years before had been the victim of mankind’s largest single act of mass murder, killing a third of the world’s Jews, that people was returning home as sovereign citizens in their own independent state.” Join us for an informal dinner featuring delicious Israeli style foods, a program and celebration of Israel’s Independence Day at our Hadassah Donor event on Thursday, May 19, 6:00 at Melanie Vaughan’s Please RSVP to Melanie, 434-793-0577, or email karma50@gamewood.net, no later than May 12.

Our annual Break Esther’s Fast was held on Wednesday, March 23 at Moon River Thai Restaurant. The program on Human Trafficking, presented by Jo Ann Howard, tied the stories of Vashti and Esther to the horrific stories of women and children who are victims of slavery involving sex, drugs, and labor. The stories shared were real and

eye-opening. The message: We must be aware of those trapped in these types of bondage and notify the authorities as quickly as possible. On a happy note, good news was shared during our social time at dinner and the lighting of candles for family and friends!

Hadassah Launches Coalition for Women's Health Equity with National Women's, Health, and Faith Organizations - Hadassah announced the launch of the Coalition for Women's Health Equity, which will work to address inequities in quality of care, funding and support, and gaps in women's health awareness, according to Hadassah National President Ellen Hershkin. Hadassah has convened this coalition in response to pervasive gender disparities throughout the healthcare system, with the mission to create a well-coordinated and unified force to advocate for women's health equity, from prevention and diagnosis, to treatment and cure. Coalition members represent a wide variety of the nation's most prominent organizations including those working towards female empowerment, equitable healthcare access, civil rights, and more. Membership in the Coalition is open and will continue to grow. Women and men often present different symptoms for the same diseases and react differently to certain drugs, medical devices, and treatments. Gender disparities in medicine— among research subjects, and in health care access and delivery—put women at risk for misdiagnoses, ineffective treatments and compromised care. Heart disease, for example, is the number one killer of women, and yet only one third of cardiac research subjects are women. Studies also show that medical providers are more likely to ascribe women's pain symptoms to stress or psychological causes, and men's symptoms to physical or neurological conditions. 13
A lack of women's health equity not only impacts the well-being of the American woman now, but for generations to come. The Coalition for Women's Health Equity will publicly promote policies in support of gender equity in medical prevention, research and treatment, and raise awareness about how that lack of equity adversely affects women and families throughout the United States.
Hadassah-Developed Blood Test Detects Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer & Brain Damage - A new blood test that uses the DNA strands of dying cells to detect
diabetes, cancer, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disease has been developed by researchers at Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO) and The Hebrew University.
Israel Ministry of Health Survey Rates Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem Emergency Room #1 in Patient Satisfaction - A survey of over 10,000 ER patients
in 26 Hospitals was conducted over 4 months. Survey questions covered the following ER topics: length of waiting time; respectful attitude from the ER staff during the stay; clarity of medical information and evaluation; continuity of treatment; overall satisfaction with the medical facilities. Respondents ranged from seniors to parents of small children who had been brought to the ER and survey questions were conducted in English, Hebrew, Arabic and Russian. Ellen Hershkin noted, “Hadassah Ein Kerem’s ER services are among the finest in the world and the Ministry of Health’s patient satisfaction survey affirms our commitment to providing excellent medical service to all people, building ‘bridges to peace’ across all races, religions and nationalities.”
