Vacationers resting poolside at Grossinger’s Catskill Resort Hotel, Liberty, New York; photo by John Margolies, c. 1977. This iconic image of poolside leisure embodies the golden era of the Borscht Belt—an essential chapter of American Jewish life and culture. Families gather, sunbathe, and schmooze in a scene that recalls the heyday of the Catskills resorts, where community, comedy, and comfort reigned supreme.

Missing your ShulSchool and Synagogue friends? We’re excited to get together for a morning of connection, food, and fun.

We’ll meet at the Tulsa Jewish Community pool at 10:00 a.m. and wrap up the day with lunch together. You can hold your spot by visiting the Synagogue website or by being in touch with Morah Sara at slevitt@bnaiemunah.com.

From Rabbi Daniel S. Kaiman KEEPING THINGS GOING It’s hard to describe the mix of emotions wrapped up in our refugee resettlement work these days. For many months, we’ve been navigating a constantly shifting landscape shaped by changing priorities under a new presidential administration.

We’ve experienced staff reductions, the suspension (and later reinstatement) of key grants, and the ongoing sense that anything could change at any moment.

And yet, we’re still here. Our resettlement office remains open. Remarkably, as a result of all these shifts, our Refugee Resettlement Department is now the only refugee agency still operating in the eastern half of Oklahoma. That’s something I’m deeply proud of. We’ve hung in. We’ve stayed alive.

At the same time, I feel deeply frustrated—especially by the way this work has become politicized, including by some of our own state leaders. People I once saw as potential partners in building a more compassionate future have chosen instead to turn this basic act of humanity into a political wedge.

That politicization has also made it harder to talk about what we’re doing. Part of it is practical: the nature of the work keeps shifting as systems change and priorities are rewritten. But part of it is about safety—about self-protection. Resettlement work has, at times, become a political target. And we’ve learned that speaking too publicly about what we do can bring unwanted attention or even political retribution. So we keep going, but we keep quiet. It’s not the way we’d choose to operate—but it’s the reality we’re navigating.

Still, here’s what may not be visible from the outside: we haven’t walked away. Staff and volunteers from Congregation B’nai Emunah are still showing up—for the families already in our care, for those who arrive in crisis, and for the belief that a more compassionate system is still possible. Our team continues to offer intensive case management. We continue to welcome walk-in clients who’ve made their way to Tulsa in search of safety. We continue to provide direct assistance, help with public benefits, and guide new arrivals as they begin again.

We have not abandoned this work. We’ve helped families navigate grief, learn new skills, and build the kinds of connections that make a new life possible. One of our congregants recently hosted a pool party for a client family he met through volunteering. It was more than a backyard gathering—it was a small but powerful reminder that what we do here matters. It’s real. It isn’t going away.

And I’m not blind to everything else happening in our world.

As a Jewish people, we’re hurting. Our cousins are sheltering from Iranian missiles. Jewish communities are reeling from violent attacks like the one in Boulder just last month. Political tension is everywhere—about Israel, about identity, about who we are and who we ought to be. In the midst of all this, the work of resettlement feels even more urgent.

There’s a midrash I keep coming back to. It teaches that when God offered the Torah to the nations of the world, each

THE KITCHEN WINDOW A prayer published on @tulsagogue as war unfolded between Israel and Iran.

Let us continue to pray for peace.

Hashkivaynu Grant Peace

Grant, O God, that we lie down in peace, and raise us up, our Guardian, to life renewed. Spread over us the shelter of Your peace.

Guide us with Your good counsel; for Your Name’s sake, be our help.

Shield and shelter us beneath the shadow of Your wings. Defend us against ... war, famine, and sorrow.

Distance us from wrongdoing. For You, God, watch over us and deliver us. For You, God, are gracious and merciful. Guard our going and coming, to life and to peace evermore.

asked, “What’s in it?”—and declined. Only Israel responded, na’aseh v’nishma—we will do, and we will understand. It was a radical act of trust: to commit before knowing all the answers.

I think about that all the time. This work—resettlement, compassion, solidarity—is not easy. But we don’t say yes because something is easy. We say yes because our values demand it. Because Jewish tradition teaches us to act first and trust that understanding will come. And so we keep going, even when the road ahead is uncertain.

That’s what Jewish life asks of us: to stay engaged. To help because it’s right. To remember that we, too, were once strangers—and to do everything in our power to ensure that our children and grandchildren never have to wonder whether anyone will stand with them.

I’m deeply grateful—for the support of our lay leadership, the partnership of our extraordinary resettlement staff, and the trust of our Tulsa Jewish community. Together, we are ensuring that B’nai Emunah remains a voice of courage and compassion, and that our Jewish lives are not only vibrant and rooted, but also meaningful and purpose-driven.

Blatt + Blue — Let it Be Morning

My grandparents lived in the middle of a row of twin homes on Macon Ave in northeast Philadelphia for almost 40 years. The house had three levels, including a partially finished basement where my sisters and I would stay when we visited. Our grandparents were famous for staying up as late as it took to greet us from the airport, and undoubtedly with some Philadelphia’s own Tastykake or soft pretzels. When we pulled up to the house, they had assumed their post in the tiny window in front of the sink in the kitchen. It was, in fact, the best view of the road. This was before cell phones helped us track our loved one’s whereabouts, so they could have waited hours in the kitchen for our arrival.

When I was ten years old, my grandfather died after a battle with colon cancer. He was a 6-foot-something World War II veteran and a doctor of social work who served as the dean of the school of social work at Yeshiva University for the latter part of his career. I wish these things were more impressive to me as a kid, but alas. Grandpop Lloyd’s death was my first. While many of the memories from his funeral and the days following have a haze around them now, there is one moment that stuck with me more than any other. I’d never felt more sadness than when my family and I pulled out of the driveway and saw my grandmother’s face, alone in the kitchen window. I remember saying goodbye to her and my very proper grandmother, sobbing in my mother’s arms.

What could we say that would bring her comfort? I distinctly remember the pit in my stomach that day, a deep sadness less about losing my grandfather but leaving my grandmother.

I think most of us have felt that pain for someone we care about before. Maybe you’ve delivered a bikkur cholim meal to a community member whose loved one is dying, or you’re sitting with a friend who just experienced a miscarriage. We’re quick to drop food or send note cards, but it can feel impossible to know what to say to bring comfort in those moments.

This summer, our annual Learning over Lunch in July will focus on just this topic. We’re calling it Sacred Speech: Wisdom for Life’s Hard Conversations.

The class will focus on learning about active listening, empathy, sitting in silence, and much more. Of course, all these things will be guided by Jewish wisdom and values.

We’ll even practice these challenging conversations! This course is especially great for folks who volunteer or who are interested in volunteering with our Bikkur Cholim program, but all are welcome!

Meet me on July 9, 16, and 23rd from noon–1:15 p.m. for our annual Learning over Lunch series. Hold your spot by visiting www.tulsagogue.com/events.
