Notes from the Cantor ………………………………………. (A DIFFERENT) POWER OF MUSIC (II) This article is a continuation of the theme of last month’s article The Power of Music that I wrote in honor of Shabbat Shira – The Sabbath of Song which we celebrated at the end of January. The world, particularly the United States, has lately been rocked by scandals of sexual abuse and impropriety mainly against women. The Jewish world, and of particular interest to this column – the world of Jewish music, has not emerged unscathed as revelations against the late, great ‘singing Rabbi’ Shlomo Carlebach have come to the forefront, including from his own daughter Neshama. Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, who passed in 1994, revolutionized aspects of Judaism and particularly Jewish music. I have a vast collection of recordings of which Carlebach’s ‘Shabbos in Shomayim,’ is amongst my most prized albums. I recall a concert he gave when I was a student at the University of Cape Town (UCT). A huge sellout crowd of over 2000 mostly young Jewish students came to hear him. He arrived a half hour late by which time the crowd was already raucous, clapping, dancing and singing his rousing melodies. I was lucky enough to have an aisle seat and observed him closely and with great interest. After all, here was a great Jewish American musical legend that I was going to be privileged to hear in person, a rare treat for us South Africans at that time who were otherwise shunned through political boycotts over Apartheid. Carlebach walked down the aisle, hugging, kissing and embracing all the pretty girls on both sides of the aisle. By the time he got to the stage, another half hour had elapsed so that the concert started an hour late. But he brought the house down! Many Jewish institutions, clergy and performers now face the moral dilemma of whether to blacklist his music, or just simply how to react. An analogous dilemma concerns the music or other work of anyone who was detrimental to Jews and Judaism in general. For example the tradition at Jewish weddings in South Africa, including my own father’s shul, was to welcome the bride to Richard Wagner’s beautiful Bridal Chorus from his 1850 opera Lohengrin, popularly known as ‘Here Comes the Bride.’ Yet Wagner was a notorious anti-Semite whose vitriolic anti-Jewish writings influenced Nazi doctrine. I switched to using Jewish music for weddings. For many years Wagner’s music was banned by Israel’s Philharmonic Orchestra. On November 9th 2009, the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, also Kristallnacht, the great Argentinian Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim, who since 1992 has been music director of Germany’s most famous opera house, Berlin’s Staatsoper, was asked to lead an appropriate concert for the occasion. He included in his program music by Richard Wagner, along with the Jewish composer Arnold Schoenberg’s “A Survivor From Warsaw,” a tribute to Jewish victims of Nazism. In an interview in the Wall Street Journal on April 24th 2009 by J. S. Marcus, he stated, concerning this seemingly strange juxtaposition of Wagner and Schoenberg, that people who criticize his choice of concert music are wrong: “People have a problem with Wagner not because he was anti-Semitic...It was the use – or abuse – of his writing by the Nazis...But it’s not Wagner. If we give into that, we are basically giving in to Hitler and his people.” I saw a portrayal of the Russian composer Tchaikovsky by the Jewish performer Hershey Felder. While researching for his role, Felder came across an anti-Semitic note by Tchaikovsky. Tom Tugend, in an interview with Felder published in The Times of Israel on July 30 th 2017, asks: “Does towering talent exculpate a composer, or any artist, for a racist or anti-Semitic remark, even at a time and place where such comments were commonplace?” Felder responded: “This is a very complicated matter...Tchaikovsky was a man of the 19th century, when the intelligentsia in Russia and European countries was anti-Semitic almost by reflex.” Felder noted that the Jewish George Gershwin called his opera “Blue Moon” his “nigger opera.” Does that make him a racist? Tugend points out that when Al Jolson in the 1920s and ‘30s performed in blackface, it wasn’t considered offensive as it later became. Felder said: “We can’t correct or apologize for history.” He added that Tchaikovsky should be judged by his actions not his words, concerning which he cites many pro-Jewish examples. Everyone has to decide for himself how to solve these moral dilemmas. As for me, every Shabbat, as the spirit moves me, I find myself wanting to throw in some Carlebach melodies here and there. I sometimes almost unknowingly find myself humming music of Wagner...There is no disputing their power, only their association... Hope to see you all at Purim!

President’s Message…………………………….…………... For a Good Time … If you had asked me some years ago about going to synagogue for morning prayers, the honest answer would have been that I never gave it a thought. At some point, I started going for the yahrzeits [anniversary of the death] of my mother and father, and if my wife or a friend needed a minyan to say the Mourner's Kaddish. It can be difficult getting enough people for a minyan. When our congregation was still on Kenwood Boulevard, Ann and I decided to help make an evening minyan once a week, which we did for a while. In recent years, I found myself going more frequently, usually in the morning, even before becoming president, and will continue to do so after. If you come for morning minyan, you will find many of the regulars, and maybe some people who come irregularly, and some folks who come rarely. The regulars include both men and women, as is appropriate. It is a congenial, perhaps less formal atmosphere, praying together in the more intimate space of our chapel. With a group of regular attendees, you may worry that you would feel like an outsider, but you should not. I can guarantee that you will be welcomed. For me, it was a little daunting keeping up at first. But just like Shabbat morning, after you come a few times, you get into the swing of things and it gets more comfortable. And just like on Shabbat, anyone is happy to help you find where we are in the siddur. On Monday and Thursday, if we have a minyan, the Hazzan reads Torah, and you have a good chance to receive an honor if you want one. It's a warm and meaningful start to the day. Once we are finished, you may want to join the group at Panera Bread on Central Avenue. There was actually an article about this daily meeting in the religion section of the Toledo Blade in 2011, with a nice picture of Rabbi Saks, some of the attendees, and a brief story which included a mention of our “new cantor, Ivor Lichterman”. You can still find this article by searching on the Blade’s website. Once at Panera, the minyan transforms to a havurah. We talk about everything and anything, and sometimes try to solve the world’s problems. The conversations around the table often overlap, ebbing and flowing and going off in all sorts of directions. Most days there is the quiz, thoughtfully provided by Butch Stein. The topics are varied, to put it mildly, ranging from silly to serious, literary to linguistic, the arts to the arcane, historical to hysterical. Usually someone will have an answer, but if no one else does, we can turn to one of the regulars, Alice Applebaum, who has an encyclopedic knowledge that is remarkable. I really need to mention the “3 musketeers” of the Congregation B’nai Israel minyan. First and foremost, there is Howard Rosenbaum. He is our minyan leader. He is there morning and evening, plus Shabbat morning, starting the worship at 9:30. If Howard can’t be there, it is likely that the second musketeer, David Weinberg will lead the service. The third musketeer to lead the service is David Friedes. If David is there on Shabbat, as he typically is, you are likely to find him leading our Mincha service following lunch. And when our Hazzan is away, these three are among those who step up so we can continue to have all our regular worship services without interruption. So, for a good time, come be part of the minyan, whether for morning, evening, or Mincha on Shabbat. You will be helping others who need a minyan to say the Mourner's Kaddish, you will be helping your congregation, and you will be enriching yourself. And if you come for coffee and join the conversation, who knows, you might even help solve the world’s problems!

Each year, the JDAIM program increases awareness and provides education about welcoming and including people with disabilities. Programs are tailored to the children in all grades and adults are strongly encouraged to attend. Renee Stack, school counselor for Sylvania Schools, will teach students in kindergarten through fourth grade about coping skills. Eric Chase, local media personality and mental health advocate, will talk to students in fifth grade and up about the stigma of mental illness and coping mechanisms he has found helpful.

Currently, she is working on expanding her support for students through a social-emotional tutoring program called Stackable SEL, LLC.
Eric Chase
Some attributes that may come to mind when you think of Eric Chase are: a ball of energy, very passionate, and zeal for life. He is a radio head of 20 years, huge dog lover, and gigantic Batman and Transformers fan. He is larger than life, and has spent his time avoiding a suit and tie so that he can do what he loves. The mantra, “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life,” really fits Eric and his life journey. Although he is a Pennsylvania native, after bouncing around for a little while, Eric decided to make Toledo, OH, his home. Opportunities seemingly fall into his lap here and the people are always so warm and open towards him. He most recently hosted a morning talk radio show called, The Morning Rush on Kiss FM, a top 40 station with no music during his segment; a real gutsy thing, but it worked. Many people listened in and called each morning, and the show became a therapy of sorts for the fans. Eric hopes to take the same light hearted listening ear he gained as a radio host and transfer that into using animal therapy to help people living with mental illness. He is already in process of talking with a local healthcare provider to create such a program. In 2005 Eric was diagnosed with Bipolar 2, depression, and anxiety; after learning more about his condition, he began to realize how much his dogs helped him cope with symptoms. He knows firsthand about the power of connecting with animals, and is also a huge animal rights advocate. 9
