2 Tisha B’Av in Film: Porcelain War

17 FETO—Free Eggs to Order Sunday Seminar with Boris Darlyuk, “What’s So Funny About the Jews?”

Join us this Tisha B’Av, Saturday, August 2, at 7:00 p.m. for a powerful and poignant screening of Porcelain War, an award-winning documentary that captures the resilience of the human spirit in the face of destruction. As we reflect on the tragedies of Jewish history and the enduring consequences of hatred and violence, this film—set amid the war in Ukraine—offers a deeply moving lens into the courage of artists who resist tyranny not with weapons, but with creativity and beauty. Porcelain War echoes the themes of loss, hope, and resistance that are central to Tisha B’Av, making it a meaningful and thought-provoking experience for this solemn day.

Join us Saturday, August 9, at 10:00 a.m. for a joyful and engaging Shabbat Morning Story Studio Hour—perfect for families with elementary-age children!

Through timeless tales, lively songs, and imaginative play, children and their grown-ups will connect with Jewish traditions in a warm, welcoming, and ageappropriate setting. Come share in the magic of Shabbat as we build community, spark curiosity, and create lasting memories together!

Why has laughter played such a central role in Jewish life, literature, and culture?

Join us Sunday morning, August 17, as writer, editor, translator and all-around wise guy, Boris Dralyuk, will lead us on a historical overview of Jewish wit as a response to diaspora, persecution, assimilation, and resilience—tracing its roots in Eastern and Central Europe and its transformation in the American context. From the melancholic ironies of Sholem Aleichem and Kafka to the neurotic brilliance of Philip Roth and Gary Shteyngart; from the zany wordplay of S.J. Perelman and the Marx Brothers to the existential absurdities of Woody Allen and Andy Kaufman; from the bawdy stage presence of Fanny Brice and Sophie Tucker to the razor-sharp provocations of Joan Rivers and Sarah Silverman—this seminar will explore how Jewish humor has both reflected and refracted the anxieties, aspirations, and identities of modern Jewish life. Join us for a journey through laughter that’s as much about survival as it is about punchlines. Breakfast at 9:30 a.m., seminar at 10:30 a.m. There is no cost to attend, but please indicate your attendance by registering on our website.

ON THE COVER

Irving Penn (1917–2009) was a visionary Jewish-American photographer whose elegant, pared-down aesthetic transformed both fashion and fine art photography. Over nearly seventy years—most notably with Vogue—he captured everything from haute couture to cigarette butts with the same precision and reverence. Penn’s Jewish background and artistic rigor informed his lifelong attention to the everyday as a site of beauty and meaning. On the cover: Scoop Dreams, Vogue, August 2004—a whimsical still life that turns scoops of ice cream into a surreal portrait, complete with bowler hat and brush mustache. Remember, school may be starting, but summer isn’t quite over yet.

From Rabbi Daniel S. Kaiman THE HEART OF WHO WE ARE Many years ago, a couple came to meet with me at the end of the summer to discuss enrollment in our Jewish educational programs for the upcoming year. One parent wasn’t Jewish and had understandable hesitations. “I’m just not sure about religious school,” he said. “I want our kid to make that choice for himself.” I paused and nodded—because I do get it. But I also gently pushed back. “We make choices for our kids all the time,” I offered. “We choose their bedtime. Their dentist.

Their school district. We teach them how to say thank you, how to brush their teeth, how to be part of a family. Why wouldn’t we also choose to give them the language and tools to understand this part of who they are?”

Raising and educating our children in the context of Jewish life isn’t an imposition—it’s a gift. A profound one. And in today’s climate, it’s also an urgent necessity.

At the center of a congregational community—any congregational community—is what it teaches its kids.

Programs like ShulSchool, Hebrew Language Lab, and our youth holiday gatherings are not simply additional childcare or extracurricular options. They are the heartbeat of who we are and what we hope to become.

The Synagogue’s approach to Jewish education in Tulsa is both unique and essential. Within our identity-building programs, such as ShulSchool and Hebrew Language Lab, we offer a singularly Jewish educational space where children can fully immerse themselves in Jewish language, ritual, and

CREATING MOMENTS OF WONDER

and sanctuary is a space designed for Jewish experiences, and that matters deeply in a young person’s life. To grow up learning in a space that reflects your identity—that reinforces belonging and meaning—can shape the way you carry Judaism with you into adulthood.

We also embrace deep, self-reflective learning—encouraging our kids to ask hard questions, to wrestle with values, and to consider how Jewish life intersects with identity, purpose, and culture. This isn’t about memorization; it’s about meaning.

Our commitment to Jewish literacy is strong and clear.

We want our students to become familiar with the core texts and ideas of our tradition—not only so they can understand where we come from, but so they can think critically and compassionately about where we’re going.

And while we take tradition seriously, we also adapt it with love and care to our Tulsa context. Jewish life here doesn’t need to mimic big-city models—it can thrive in its own right, with creativity, relevance, and soul. We’re not preoccupied with denominational labels. At The Synagogue, we practice a Judaism that reflects the vibrancy of our lives in Tulsa— grounded in tradition, responsive to the present, and open to what’s next.

Finally, our educational programs are built to be explicitly inclusive—welcoming LGBTQ+ families, interfaith households, and all who wish to claim Jewish identity as their own. This is a space where every Jewish child has a place to grow.

If you’re considering the coming school year and want to explore participation in any of our educational programs, please feel free to reach out to me directly—or contact Morah Sara Levitt, our Director of Jewish Life and Learning, who leads these efforts with thoughtfulness and dedication. We’re ready to welcome you. Let’s build something lasting—together.

culture without compromise. We think that matters. It shapes their sense of what is normal, what is joyful, and what is theirs.

Just as important is where this learning happens. Our building is more than a facility—it’s a sacred container for Jewish life. While it hosts many uses throughout the week, its core identity is unmistakably Jewish. Every hallway, classroom, 4

I’ll never get over the feeling of of driving to the front gates of camp for the summer. The excitement, thrill, awe, and nerves followed me from my first summer at Camp Barney Medintz in 1996 through my latest visit to Ramah in the Rockies this past summer. Although I’ve spent so much time at Ramah over the last 13 years of my life, I was struck with a new feeling this summer: wonder.

I didn’t just feel it on the narrow road peaking over the Rocky Mountains on our drive up or surrounded by endless acres of trees. I felt wonder in the dining hall, during Shabbat singing, in the quiet moments during break time, and in the joy on the faces of our Tulsa kids. Wonder, perhaps with different names, lives deeply in our story. From the stories of the great flood with Noah, the burning bush, and the splitting of the sea, our ancestors met wonder with reverence, awe, and even skepticism. I’m thinking about this feeling of wonder a great deal as we enter a new year of ShulSchool and programming in the Department of Jewish Life and Learning. How do we create moments of wonder every time our students and families enter our building? This question will guide our work this year. We’ve already started to push ourselves along on this quest.

First up is a new program on Shabbat morning, which we’re calling Shabbat Story Studio. We’re excited to introduce a new Saturday morning offering for our elementary-aged students and their families, bringing the stories, values, and teachings of the Torah to life. We’ll use movement, song, drama, and improv to interact with the Torah in new and interesting ways. I hope that in this way we’ll push families to think about our ancient texts in new ways that inspire wonder!

Our after-school program, Kesher, gearing up for its third school year, embodies a sense of wonder daily. This sense of wonder is fostered in the relationships that our students form with one another, their teachers, and enrichment specialists within the Kesher community.

And on Sunday mornings at ShulSchool we’re doubling down on our sense of wonder! We’ll push ourselves to see every moment as an opportunity for learning, relationship building, and wonder. In real-time, this looks like continuing the success of our Reading Buddies program, deepening project-based learning in each class, creating more opportunities for children to learn alongside their adults, and taking every opportunity to hear our students say, “I can’t believe MY Synagogue did that!” Sparking wonder in Jewish experiences, I believe, is a pivotal way to deepen meaning, create lasting memories, and foster a love for Jewish life that we all dream of for our children.

Interested in learning more about ShulSchool or any of our other offerings?

Please be in touch with me at slevitt@bnaiemunah.com. The fun begins on Sunday, August 17th, with the first day of ShulSchool. We can’t wait for this next year of community, learning, and wonder!

Blatt + Blue — You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah

From Eliana Joels BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL Growing up, I was always involved in Jewish life—ShulSchool, Hebrew school, Midrasha, Jewish summer camp, and BBYO. I loved Jewish culture and traditions, but Israel always felt distant. I even had the chance to go during high school, but I passed on the opportunity—partly out of fear of flying, COVID, and being so far from home.

After the October 7th attacks, something shifted. I felt more connected to Israel and wanted to experience it. In January, I impulsively signed up for Birthright Israel at a University of Kansas Hillel event that involved free pizza and a casual info session. Despite my anxieties—especially after our trip was postponed due to conflict near Ben Gurion Airport—I became more determined to go.

From kayaking down the Jordan River to hiking Masada, exploring Tzfat, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, I watched the land I had only read about come alive. In Jerusalem, standing at the

From Sarah Malks KESHER AFTER SCHOOL IS ONLY GETTING BETTER In Hebrew, kesher means connection. Here at Kesher After School, we take that to heart. Kesher connects students to their friends, innovative Jewish education, and a world of new experiences. It connects their days, bridging what might otherwise be a long and stressful gap between school dismissal and quality family time. Finally, Kesher connects students to their futures. Kesher is the central hub where students can take art and tumbling classes, learn to play the piano and speak Hebrew, and receive homework support. At Kesher, our mission is to create a third space steeped in Jewish values for children to thrive, learn, and grow. Our busy, bustling world makes this type of third space critical for families—and Kesher is only getting better.

Creating a third space for the well-being of the children in our community is a mission without end. It is an unfaltering promise of continuous improvement. In the Department of Jewish Life and Learning, we live out the value of continuous improvement in real time through weekly review and strategy meetings. This school year, we will also bring this practice to our Kesher teachers through mifgash, daily staff meetings, and Kesher students through z’man kehillah, community reflection time. We are excited for this next fruitful year of programming, learning, and growth.

We’re working hard this summer to plant the seeds that will set us up for success. First, we have developed strong national and local partnerships with Jewish After School Accelerator (JASA) and The Opp Project, respectively. JASA and The Opp Project are invaluable partners to Kesher, sharing knowledge and resources about the field of after-school programming.

Second, we took a deep dive into organizing and streamlining the administrative side of Kesher. We have focused on licensing, staff hiring and training, lesson planning, and implementing Playground as our dedicated management software for enhanced safety, accountability, and communication.

These efforts are the results of our intentionality, reflection, and dedication to excellence for our precious community. At Kesher, we are proud to teach Jewish values after school and live them in all we do every day. We look forward to sharing our journey with you throughout the year and keeping you connected to Kesher.

Sarah Malks is the Assistant Director of Jewish Life and Learning with a primary focus on growing and enhancing our Kesher After School program.

hiking Masada

Western Wall, I felt a deep spiritual connection—to Judaism, to God, and to my ancestors. I tasted Yemenite, Druze, and Bedouin food, ate knafeh desserts, danced through Machane Yehuda, explored Levinsky Market and Shuk Carmel, and visited memorials in the south that told powerful stories of Israel’s pain and resilience. Visiting both ancient landmarks and modern sites of tragedy gave me a profound sense of our people’s strength. From the Old City to the Nova festival memorial, I saw how interconnected Jewish history, grief, and hope are.

This trip helped me realize that being Jewish goes far beyond holidays and food—it’s about shared history, perseverance, and the communities we build. I also learned that loving Israel doesn’t mean agreeing with every political decision—it’s about connection to the land, the people, and our collective story.

Birthright was more than a free trip—it was a transformative journey that deepened my pride, challenged my perspectives, and brought me closer to my Jewish identity. If you’re between 18–26, I can’t recommend it enough.

Eliana Joels particpated in the Birthright Israel trip in the spring of 2025. Eliana is a lifelong member of The Synagogue who is entering her junior year at the University of Kansas where she studies Speech Pathology.

From Cassidy Petrazzi THE ART OF RESISTANCE It’s summer, but Queen Esther is on my mind, mainly Esther narrative with its fear, its strategizing, its risk, feels because of The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt, now more alive than ever. on view at the Jewish Museum in New York. The exhibition On Purim, we tell the story of being saved. On Tisha looks stunning; I’ve seen images online and a few iPhone B’Av, which starts at sundown on Saturday, August 2, we snapshots my parents sent from their recent visit.

We hope it will serve as a powerful a diaspora defined by civic participation, invisibility and reminder of our own stories and the balance that Jewish visibility, political vulnerability, and courage.
