A Message From Our Rabbi

“Do we have to read the whole thing?”

I like to think of this as the

“fifth question” of the Passo-

ver Seder. It is fair enough,

and the answer is “no,” one

doesn’t have to do the full

monty. While one hopes and

dreams that people will want

to do as much as possible, it

is the case that abbreviations

are permitted (and I will re-

veal them to any interested

party.) A more difficult and challenging question is:

“Is it enough to read the whole thing?”

There are different metaphors we can use for the Hag-

gadah (and for our liturgy in general.) One metaphor

is the recipe. A recipe is a step-by-step directive that

promises a cake or at least celery sticks

with peanut butter to someone who will

faithfully follow all of the steps. It does

not assume any knowledge of chemistry or

any vision of the end product, only the

careful checking of boxes. If the Hagga-

dah is like a recipe, we can answer our

question in the affirmative and know that

if we fulfill all of the steps we sing in the

introduction, then we will be right where

we should be when we finish.

Another way of looking at our prayers is

as a tool box. The tool box makes de-

mands that the recipe does not: we have

to know how to use the tools, and we have

to have a sense of how each can be used to

create what we desire. Moreover, we need

a vision of what the end-state should look

like, and to be able therefore to use our

judgment as to which are the important

tools and which can be left in the box. We

would never evaluate a project as success-

ful because we “used all the tools.” In this

metaphor, reading the whole thing is

enough only if it gets us where we need to

go.

(Rabbi—continued from page 1)

You will find plenty of Jews embracing

either metaphor. I incline toward the

toolbox vision. I think that our liturgy

(which includes the Haggadah) is the

greatest tool developed by humanity for

talking to and about God. But it demands

discipline and creativity to accomplish its

end. I’m not sure liturgy does much for us

if we are not engaged, and a portion done

with knowledge and intention beats

“reading the whole thing” without a vi-

sion. Quality beats quantity.

The good news is that we are given all the

opportunity to practice that we could ever

want. There are parts of the Haggadah that

are unique to the evening, and there is no

substitute for reading over those ahead of

time (and attending classes offered by the

local synagogues!) But the bulk of the rit-

ual is composed of tools that we use every

Festival, every Shabbat, and even each

day. The workshop is always open.

From our family to yours, a sweet and ko-

sher Pesach!

Rabbi Siemers

About Werner Reich

Werner and his family were residents of Berlin when the Nazis came to power in

1933. His father, an engineer, lost his job soon thereafter, prompting the family to

move to Yugoslavia. This, however, was only a brief reprieve, as Nazi occupation

soon reached that country. When the terror campaign against the Jews escalated in

Yugoslavia, Werner’s mother placed him in hiding with several families. Unfortu-

nately, he was betrayed, arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned. Shortly thereaf-

ter, he was deported to Theresienstadt and then sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. When

the Soviet Army began approaching Auschwitz, Werner and tens of thousands of

other prisoners were forced onto a death march terminating at the Mauthausen

concentration camp. Werner was liberated in 1945 by American forces. After the

war, he returned briefly to Yugoslavia, and then went to England in 1947, where

he was trained as a pipefitter. He immigrated to the US in 1955 and eventually be-

came an engineer.

About John D’Aquila

John D’Aquila enlisted in the Army in 1943, trained as an infantry soldier, but lat-

er became a combat medic. As part of the 11th Armored Division, he fought in the

Battle of the Bulge with bayonet attached, as the soldiers expected hand-to-hand

combat. His division successfully protected the 101st Airborne Division at Ba-

stogne. In early 1945, he was one of the first American liberators to enter and lib-

erate Mauthausen.

JTS Receives Grants for Conservation of Rare Works and a Plan to Increase the Num-ber of Jewish Educators, and Introduces an iTunes U Launch

New Grants Support the Work of The JTS Library and The Davidson School The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary has received a $150,000 grant from the Da-vid Berg Foundation to support a two-year project to expand its capacity to lend illuminated manuscripts and other works to museums around the world. The grant will enable JTS to ac-cess the conservators and conservation materials necessary for these treasures to be pre-pared for travel and display. It will also make possible the creation of proper storage for The Library’s collection of ketubbot, some of which were exhibited at The Jewish Museum in 2011 (The Art of Matrimony: Thirty Splendid Marriage Contracts from The Jewish Theological Semi-nary Library.) JTS plans to loan the exhibit to venues across the country; due to the fragility of the materials, the collection may be displayed only once every two and a half years, and must be safely stored when not on display. The William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education of the Jewish Theological Semi-nary, the largest academic Jewish-education program outside of Israel, has received a grant from the AVI CHAI Foundation that will enable The Davidson School to work with consultants to produce a strategic business plan for increased institutional strength and sustainability that will ultimately result in an increased number of leaders in Jewish education. A team of higher-education experts from Eduventures and ALC Consulting, led by Abigail Callahan of ALC, has been selected to develop the strategic plan during the first half of 2012. They will work closely with Dr. Zachary Lasker, The Davidson School’s newly-appointed director of the Melton Re-search Center for Jewish Education and Education Projects. New JTS iTunes U Site JTS is pleased to announce the launch of the JTS iTunes U site. Accessible via Apple’s iTunes, this resource makes public lectures, Torah commentaries, and select courses availa-ble for free streaming and downloading. A wide variety of content is available, including the weekly Torah commentary podcasts and recordings of public lectures and events, such as the popular series of JTS Library Book Talks by JTS faculty and other authors. In the near future, full courses—complete with course materials—will be made available on the iTunes U site, providing further access to JTS’s world-class faculty and high-level Jewish learning.

The Mitzvah of Yahrzeit

By Terri Milligan

My mother, Sheila Schneider, died April 21,

1977. She was 35 years old, and I was 14.

When I look at these numbers, I realize that

the majority of my life has been spent with-

out her.

I’m not a particularly observant Jew, and

there are few, if any, rituals that I routinely

practice, but throughout the years I have

faithfully observed Yahrzeit. Originally this

dedication came about because I could not

bear the thought that my mother might be

somewhere waiting in vain to hear a loved

one say Kaddish. As I matured, I continued

to observe Yahrzeit for cathartic purposes. It

was important to me to acknowledge this

special woman who was only in my life for a

very short time, and it was significant that

my family and close friends had an oppor-

tunity to see me pay my respects to a person

whom most of them had never met.

Anyone who has ever lost someone close to

them knows the simple truth behind the ad-

age: “Time heals the pain.” It’s a myth. Time

does not heal the pain. The pain will always

be there. Time does, however, give us the re-

sources and the strength to flourish and pros-

per in spite of it all. Eventually, as everyday

life returns to the comforts of being routine

and familiar, the pain does take a secondary

place in one’s psyche and only surfaces on

occasion. In my opinion, if the good days far

exceed the bad days, then time has served its

purpose.

I always find myself in a melancholy state

every year around the end of April. I’ve

stopped trying to fight this feeling; I just ac-

cept it as a part of my annual cycle. Each

year I assure those near and dear to me that

this sullen disposition will pass, and it al-

ways does. For some reason, I found this

past year particularly difficult, and it was

compounded by the fact that the night I

wanted to say Kaddish was to be on the

same night as the Carlebach Kabbalat Shab-

bat service, an informal service that North

Shore Jewish Center was going to try.

It’s not that I don’t like trying new things. It

is just that observing Yahrzeit has become

such a ceremonial rite for me that I did not

want to share this very personal solemnity

with an experiment. So…I considered skip-

ping the service. After all, if the importance

of saying Kaddish was to evoke the

memory of a departed loved one, then my

obligation was complete. As I perfunctorily

dressed for synagogue, just in case I

changed my mind, my daughter asked if she

could come, and that was when I decided to

go.

At the beginning of the service, I com-

plained that I found sitting in a circle very

uncomfortable. Somewhere in between

“Lekhah Dodi” and the first recitation of

Kaddish, I discovered that I was enjoying

the service. I even paid attention to Rabbi’s

sermon, which he closed with a comment

about angels and mitzvahs. “Every time you

perform a mitzvah an angel appears at your

shoulder and presents itself in various

ways.” Later in the service, those of us ob-

serving Yahrzeit rose for the second Kad-

dish. Instead of reading the names off a me-

morial list, Rabbi Hoffman asked each of us

(Continued on next page)

Temple Israel of Riverhead 10 April 2012

to share the name of our loved one. I said

“Sheila Schneider” and for a brief moment

felt an ironic solace as her name resounded

throughout the now-familial circle.

As my daughter and I left the temple, a fel-

low congregant asked me to repeat the name

of the person for whom I had said Kaddish.

He wanted to know if it was the same Sheila

Schneider who taught Science at Commack

South High School. He told me that he be-

came certain that this was the same person

he once taught with when he saw the resem-

blance in my face as I spoke her name. I

knew this man! My mother often spoke of

him as she would revel in her descriptions of

her day at work. The last time I saw him or

any of her colleagues was at a dedication

ceremony at the high school a year after she

had passed away. He remembered the

wretched and harrowing funeral. He asked

about my father and my brother. I introduced

him to my daughter, Sheila. I told him that I

also was a high school teacher. We spoke for

ten or fifteen minutes at most, but those few

minutes will remain with me forever.

The following Sunday, I shared the entire

story with the rabbi. I told him that although

I had been reticent to attend the informal

service, I was very moved by the new

way of saying Kaddish. The rabbi ex-

plained that evoking the memory of a

loved one was only part of the reason

for observing Yahrzeit. There is a mys-

tical element to this ritual that most

people are unaware of. When we re-

cite Kaddish we are hoping to make a

spiritual and possibly physical connec-

tion with the departed. The rabbi then

added that the Carlebach Kabbalat

Shabbat service was not responsible

for the different way Kaddish had

been conducted. When it was time to

read off the names, he could not find

his list, so he improvised.

The events of the evening seem clear

to me now. I know how this will all fit

in my head and in my heart. I per-

formed a mitzvah by fulfilling my reli-

gious obligation to observe Yahrzeit.

An angel stood beside me that night,

and I made a connection.

“May His great Name grow exalted

and sanctified in the world that He

created as He willed…”

The “Updated” Story of Passover

Passover is approaching. At the seder table, every Jewish child will be retold the

story of Moses and the Pharaoh, and how God brought boils, locusts, hail and the

other plagues onto the Egyptians. Yet in spite of this overwhelming evidence of

God's intentions, Pharaoh refused to let the Jews go, until a tenth plague, the death

of the first-born children, was inflicted on every Egyptian home, passing over the

Jewish homes. Only after this tragedy did the Pharaoh relent and let the Jews leave

slavery and Egypt to begin their journey to the promised land.

This has been known for generations. What has not been known is why the Pharaoh,

in the face of such overwhelming evidence, would refuse to release the Jews after

the first nine plagues. It took eight years of research by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, the

renowned psychologist and nurse, to find the definitive answer. Dr. Kubler-Ross

spent those years studying the Dead Sea Scrolls before discovering the answer. And

once found, it was obvious.....The Pharaoh was still in de Nile.
