T he story of the three Czech scrolls (above) of which KLS are
guardians of was re-enacted by children and adults last month
in a wide game with tremendous success (report page 6). It gave
added meaning to the service which followed, commemorating the
communities from which the scrolls came.
Occasions not to be missed in December include a chavurah on
Friday 7 December when we say farewell to Richard Pilliner, our
music director for the past 15 years. Also the Chanukah pantomime
on the following Saturday afternoon. Will you be there? Oh yes you
will!

Dear KLS member
H ere is my 24th Word from the
Chair. Here are my personal
thoughts on the Doroteinu Annual
Lunch, (self) Defence and Dreams
(and priorities for KLS). “The 3Ds”.
Doroteinu Annual Lunch
We enjoyed this event, not just
because Vanessa and I were invited
as guests. (It’s the only perk of
being Chair!) We had an excellent
lunch (starter, choice of two mains,
five salads, four puddings, coffee,
and juice). It’s a good model of a
synagogue interest group. Why? It
holds regular enjoyable meetings;
it’s self funding; it collaborates with
other synagogues.
(The only drawback is that
everyone wants the rather fierce
heaters on. It burns my head. So I
have to wear a head covering to
protect it!)
(Self) Defence
We have now run some 25 sessions
of krav maga and 25 different
people have attended sessions;
some only once! The age range has
been from 16 (an experienced
martial artist - our normal
minimum age is 18) to mature. I
don’t expect that we ever will have
large class sizes. I prefer them small
so we get more personal tuition. I
rather like the fact that our
externally managed bridge club
meets on the same evening. So KLS
is busy with the cerebral and
physical simultaneously!
Dreams and priorities for
2013
Here are my views on KLS priorities
for 2013 and what you could do to
help.
1. Develop membership growth,
retention and community spirit,
using the database, an improved
website and other ideas.
Why not recommend KLS to people.
Jews are in the news at the
moment. (I have been speaking to
non Jewish audiences on the 7Fs of
a successful synagogue. They even
laugh at my jokes!)
2. Continue to develop enjoyable
inspiring events and activities -
religious, social, outreach and
education. This will include a
neighbourhood tea party and trips.
Why not try a new event or activity?
There are between 10 and 30 each
month. They are included in your
subscription. How about
experiencing a different service, the
Hebrew café, bridge, the book club,
the discussion group, Keep in Touch,
table tennis and join the choir?
3. Ensure we all (paid staff and
volunteers) work well together.
Why not volunteer and help out
with an activity or event? It’s a
good way of meeting people,
learning something, having fun and
contributing.
4. Continue to improve our building
(security gates, tarmac, better
electrics, doors, lobby, fencing,
office, paint and repointing
outside).
5. Continue to manage our funds
prudently and develop non
member revenue, like grants, hire
of hall and interest.

And finally
� Jimmy Greaves (a great ex

Jewish event:
“Is there a bar in a bar mitzvah?”
� The Jewish Chronicle
reportedly once rang up the then
Liverpool manager to ask whether
the team’s new signing, Avi Cohen,
was Orthodox.
“Orthodox what?” the manager
replied. “Orthodox defender?
Orthodox midfielder?”
“If Cohen was an Orthodox Jew,”
the journalist explained, “he
couldn’t play on a Saturday.”
“But I’ve got a half a dozen like
that already”, quipped the boss.

PAGE 4 KINGSTON NEWS BULLETIN
T he first evening of this course
began with Dr Jane Clements
presenting "How we begin to talk".
She addressed the practicalities of
speaking about Israel/Palestine
with reference to Jacob’s encounter
at Jabbok with an unknown man.
There Jacob wrestled; the
encounter happened without
warning.
It posed issues about identity, Jacob
requesting a blessing, receiving a
name born out of conflict,
and holding to the struggle though
going away maimed. Jacob called
the place Peniel, having seen “the
face of God”. But the idea of
wrestling with oneself is implied.
Jane acknowledged extremeness of
the polarisation which occurs in
both Jewish and Christian
communities when bringing up the
subject of Israel and Palestine. She
emphasised the need to hold things
in struggle and to have
conversations with ourselves
before having conversations with
others.
Rabbi Danny Rich in the chair
introduced Jane as expert in
dialogue. He enabled most people
present to contribute. Many
vigorous points and questions
followed Jane's useful
presentation. (She had talked with
Rabbi Charley who had devised the
title and shared in some thinking
before going on leave.)
Interfaith relations
It was sobering to learn how
rapidly relations are going
backwards in interfaith work over
this specific inter-communal issue –
relations feared to be the worst for
70 years. Jane spoke of the
difficulty of moving things on – of
having conversations and beginning
to build bridges. People are not as
simple as one expects. Things are
messy.
At question time she described her
need a short while ago to found
FODIP (the Forum for the
Discussion of Israel and Palestine -
www.fodip.org ). It was a response
to people needing support in crises
of apprehension about impossible
conflict anticipated in public
gatherings. FODIP holds workshops
and takes study groups (Jews,
Christians and Muslims) to Israel
and the West Bank.
She said members of the Bereaved
Families Forum regularly visit the
UK and have commented that their
conflicts in the Middle East seem to
have been “imported” here.
A suggestion was put forward that
KLS might helpfully hold one
of FODIP’s “Hear to Hear”
workshops, an approach through
which people become more
understanding of their own position
and what it takes to get into
positive dialogue.
Cultural mythologies
Jane stressed we should always be
prepared. She referred to Roland
Barthes’s “cultural mythologies”
(much of what is accepted as reality
is simply perceptions, shaped and
distorted by the social constructs of
language, myth and meaning –
according to a review on web).
The words we use, like “Israel” for
example, are likely to be invested
with layers of meaning, or have
different meanings attached.
People can react by wanting to
adopt a uniform argument, like
choosing a volume in a
bookshop whose title they hope
will help assert their whole
“position”.

WRESTLING WITH ISRAEL WORKSHOP
How We Begin to Talk
Judith Burman reports on the first session in a series of workshops aimed at enabling us to participate and
contribute to a more comprehensive, respectful and balanced debate about Israel and Palestine.
Further workshops
The workshop series concludes in
December with talks on negotiation
and the current political situation
from Professor Alan Johnson
(Wednesday 5th) and where next
for us from Steven Jaffe and Luke
Akehurst (Wednesday 12th).

ISRAEL WORKSHOP
��continued from page 4
But this can easily become
a "weapon" to use as though
to "defeat the enemy" till the
other person goes away. It is
much harder to get other people
to see that one has thought for
oneself.
Also there is toeing the party line
which is taking a religious and
moral line, seeing it in black and
white. She likened this to Reza
Aslan’s “How to win a cosmic
war” – the polarisation after 9/11.
What we can do
Things we can do are make effort
to understand why people think as
they do, and to relate personally.
Failures in discussion can be due to
using terms differently. Narratives
may be left out – there may be
gaps. Suddenly one may feel as
though "in the enemy camp"
although Jane did emphasise never
try to defend the indefensible.
But it is easy to respond to the
words used, rather than to hear
what is not being said. People may
speak defensively - when what
they really mean is "I'm afraid".
They may seem to be asserting
overbearing rights of the
Palestinians, when in effect
meaning everyone's rights.
Jane advocates always keeping in
mind the struggle. Jacob chose to
begin with wrestling but
there was a relationship there. In
our situations, we may not see
what it is. Did Jacob ask his
name? The God of Israel is a God
of relationships.
Passionate for peace
Jane herself expressed her own
position of passionate feeling
for Israelis and as equally
passionate feeling for Palestinians.
Before the ample time allowed for
questions and participation, she
concluded with encouragement
that as Jacob was preparing for
reconciliation with Esau, in the
present time we need to be about
looking to the future with hope
and reconciliation.

Czech Scrolls Wide Game
B eiteinu means ‘our house’.
When Beiteinu was launched,
in September 2011, the concept
was that learning at KLS would be
expanded, to include people of all
ages. Whilst the education of our
youngest members is vital,
education is something important
to how all of us live as Jews. We are
all part of KLS and therefore all
responsible for its development.
The name Beiteinu was meant to
encapsulate this philosophy.
The Czech Scrolls Wide Game was
perhaps the clearest and most
successful actualisation of the
Beiteinu concept. Devised by Linda
Stone and Charley Baginsky, the
Wide Game was intended to serve
the dual purposes of memorialising
the three remarkable scrolls we are
lucky to be guardians of and to make
more well-known the story of how
they came to travel across Europe.
The morning of 10 November
began, as usual for Beiteinu, at 9.45
am. Turnout was exceptionally high.
There were approximately 80
people – Beiteinu-niks, their
parents, their grandparents, other
members of the community –
crammed into the NFJ hall.
The group was split into six ‘family’
groups, each given the name of an
actual family from the town of
Tabor in the Czech Republic. After
receiving an email from Eric Esotrick
on the iPad each family was given
when they began the morning, the
families embarked on a mission that
saw them fly across Europe and
back in time to 1963, break into the
room holding the scrolls, transport
the scrolls from Czechoslovakia to
London and eventually repair the
damaged scrolls.
Following the successful completion
of the mission, we all regrouped in
the sanctuary for a special family
service. This too had both directly
educative and more generally
commemorating purposes.
Seven members of Beiteinu read
beautifully passages from a
children’s story about the Czech
scrolls, while I led the prayers and
Tammy Rich the singing.
On top of all of the above, we were
extremely fortunate to have with us
for the morning Rabbi Ariel
Friedlander, whose parents were
instrumental in the salvaging of the
scrolls and who grew up amongst
the scrolls. Rabbi Friedlander read
from one of KLS’s Czech scrolls,
lending the whole morning an added
dimension of meaningfulness.
I have visited the scrolls in
Westminster and heard a very
interesting speech there, but I
learnt even more at KLS during the
wide game, through seeing so many
members working together to make
sense of a complicated story. It
inspired me as Beiteinu coordinator
to think how we can do more of this
kind of learning on a regular basis.
Thank you to all involved.

Jews, Christians and Muslims in Europe:
Modern Challenges
The Woolf Institute (Cambridge) is now accepting
applications for the e-learning course, Jews,
Christians and Muslims in Europe: Modern
Challenges. Following two successful years, the
course will commence in late February 2013. More
than 50 participants from around the world have
already engaged in this three-part course which
focuses on the relationships between Jews,
Christians, and Muslims and their impact in modern
Europe, looking at their history, culture and issues of
citizenship. Find out more about this programme at
www.woolf.cam.ac.uk/courses/jcme.asp.
The course is taught at a final-year undergraduate
level and the e-learning approach allows participants
to study wherever and whenever they choose via the
internet. With the support of Woolf Institute tutors,
students work both individually and with each other.
The Brigitte Trust - Supporting people
facing life-threatening illness
The Brigitte Trust offers emotional support and
practical help to families and individuals facing life-
threatening illness such as cancer and MND. Our
free volunteer service can make a real difference.
Although our volunteers do not offer any nursing or
medical care we work closely with the medical teams
and can offer respite for a carer, and emotional
support not just for patient and carer but for the
wider family too. Transport, shopping and errands
are also covered and even the opportunity for
someone living alone to have a visit to the garden
centre for tea and an escape from the four
walls. Having a volunteer visit regularly and build up
a relationship with the family can offer immense
comfort at a lonely and frightening time.
Volunteers also offer support on a 6-month rolling
basis when there is a good prognosis but perhaps
after surgery or radiotherapy when there is specific
short-term need. In cases of terminal illness, up to 6
months of bereavement support is also offered.
Volunteers receive travel expenses from the charity.
We are recruiting volunteers for our next free
training course starting on January 9 at Surrey
Community Action in Guildford and would be very
grateful for more volunteers.
Info: Jane Bellingham (01306 880862)
Journalist or Rabbi?
Tanya Gold wondered what it would be like to be a
rabbi rather than a journalist. So she assisted Rabbi
Janet Darley in leading the Friday night service on
23 November at KLS.
She will be writing about her experience for the
Sunday Times magazine. Look out for it - probably
in early January.
