FromtheRabbi’sStudyRabbiAbbyJacobson

Therearemanythingsthatourtraditionteachesare mandatory, but which do not appearexplicitly stated in the Torah. Hanukkah andPurimbothoccuraftertheTorahwaswritten–PurimhasitsownbookintheTanakhbutoccursafter thedestructionof theFirstTemple,whileHanukkah is from the Second Temple periodand well after the close of the entire HebrewBible. Studentsofhistorywouldnotexpect tofindmention of those holidays in the Torah atall. Many people would also be surprised tolearn that the commandment to light Shabbatcandles appears nowhere in the Torah – themitzvah not to kindle on Shabbat is statedexplicitlyintheTorah,anddespitewhatsomeofyou may be thinking, this is probably not theorigin of the oldest Jewish guilt trip (“That'sokay, I'll just sit in the dark...until someonecommandsme to light candles before Shabbatstarts.”). As an evolving religion, it is notsurprising that Judaism has continued to addobservancesoverthecenturies.More difficult to discuss are the mitzvot thathave their roots in the earliest understandingsof what it means to be Jewish. If the spanbetweenAbraham,thefirstJew,andthegivingof the Torah atMount Sinai is more than 450years,thenGodgivestheTorahintoanexistingsystemofJewishcultureandpeoplehood. Thatsystem,traditionalJudaismteaches,haditsownrules and expectations, and the Torah isintroduced to amend the system already inplace. The great difficulty, especially after theincalculablelossesduringthedestructionoftheSecond Temple and the loss of Jerusalem andJewishsovereigntyover Israel, isreconstructingtheoriginalideasthatourearliestJewish

MaKoreh?What’sHappeningwiththeYouth?

OneofthepillarsofEmanuel’syouthprogrammingis Tikkun Olam (repairing the World). These arelessonslearnedwhenwehelpothers.Twice this year Emanuel Synagogue YouthpartneredwiththeRonaldMcDonaldHouseatOUChildren’sHospital.ThesefacilitiesprovidehousingforfamiliesneartheirsickchildrenThe youth from 6-18 prepared and served twomeals for the families staying near or with theirchildren in November and April. These twovolunteer opportunities have been very movingexperiences. One of our youth, Mylin Klein, wasdeterminedtomakeadifferenceforthesefamilies.MylinattendedthevolunteereventinNovemberattheRonaldMcDonaldHousewithEmanuel’syouthandGirlScoutTroop613.Beforevolunteering,theyouth and chaperones learned about the RonaldMcDonald House Charities and how they collectpop-tops to raise funds to support RonaldMcDonald Houses across the country and inOklahoma City. Mylin was very motivated aftervolunteering.She began collecting pop-tops with her class atFisherElementary.Theclassdidaprettygood jobcollecting pop-tops in just two weeks. Mylinwantedmore! From that beginning collection, shewenttotheprincipleandaskedtomakeacontestforthewholeschool.Theclasscollectingthemostpop-tops wins a pizza party. The principle agreedandthecontestranfromDecembertoApril.Whenaskedwhyshecollectedthepop-tops, “IthinktheRonald McDonald House is a really goodorganizationandIwanttohelp.”In the firstweekofApril pop-topswere collected.Fisher Elementary collected 290 pounds of pop-tops(367,430).YasherKoach!

SchustermanCenterforJudaicandIsraelStudiesTriptoPortugal&Spain

Emanuel Synagogue was well representedon the OU Sightseeing Sooners trip toPortugal and Southern Spain by Sara JaneRose and Jay Shanker, Dianne and LennyRubin, Louise and Richard Fritz, and Hilaryand Alan Levenson.We had the chance tosee the birthplace of manymedieval Biblecommentators, philosophers, and mysticswell represented inEtzHayimand inRabbiJacobson’s Torah talks. Spain, unlike manymedievalnations,hada large,ancient,andwidespread Jewish population. Spain --Andalucia especially -- derived its specialnature from the mix – often convivial, ofChristian, Islamic and Jewish cultures. Inaddition to Lisbon and Madrid, we sawCordova, Seville, Rondo, Granada andToledo. Sites included the statue toMaimonides in Cordova, El TransitoSynagogueinToledoandtheAlhambra,thelast castle conquered by the Christiansbeforetheexpulsionof1492.

FromtheRabbi’sStudy-continuedalways brings up the argument that thediscussions of the kosher dietary laws saynothing about cleanliness. Is this becausecleanlinessisnexttoGodlinesstodaybutwasnext to impossible in the ancient world? Iwould argue that relative cleanliness hasalways been attainable – rats on the foodpreparation surfaces were still looked uponpoorlyintheancientworld. Rather,noneofourlearnedancestorsseemstohavethoughtthatsomeonewouldconsiderrunningafilthykosher kitchen for commercial profit. Thekitchenobviouslyought tobe cleanand thefooduncontaminated.

Overthecomingmonths,Iwillexploresomeother invisible-yet-foundational ideas fromearly Judaism and how they are relevant todiscussions happening in the Jewish worldrightnow.
