For the past eight weeks, Canada has welcomed at least 900 Israelis who've arrived looking for a temporary respite from the rockets and warfare in the Middle East. While many stayed only briefly and have already returned home, some are giving up on Israel after Oct. 7, hoping to make the move permanent. They are all enormously grateful for the support they've received from the Jewish communities in the form of housing, schooling, mental health counselling and even recreation programs at JCCs. But, as you'll hear on today's episode of The CJN Daily, they've also been shocked by the wave of antisemitism crashing across the country. Host Ellin Bessner speaks with Maya Tobin Gonen, now staying in Ottawa, whose family survived the attack on their moshav on the Gaza border by hiding for 11 hours in a shelter; Maya Trajtenberg Madar, who left Tel Aviv with her four-month-old baby boy and two older sons to spend the fall in Toronto; and Gabi and Galit Uzan, who initially fled Ashkelon for northern Israel and are now trying to put down roots in Canada.

On this episode of the "Helping Families be Happy Podcast," host, Christopher Robbins husband and father of nine, residing in the Central Valley of California talks to Adina Oberman. She is a former preschool teacher and over 15 years, she has helped families through the ups and downs of early childhood. Adina is the creator of “Big Books for Little Hands”, a valuable resource for parents and educators seeking the best books to navigate the challenges of life with kids to the best books for navigating the challenges of life with kids.   Episode Highlights 01.40: Adina mentions the importance of food in Jewish holidays, emphasizing that eating together is a significant part of the celebration. 03.40: Sukkot is a holiday during which people build temporary huts outside their homes. This holiday is a celebration, often associated with the harvest season, where communal meals are held in these temporary huts.  04:15: Simchat holiday is a celebration of reading the Torah, the Old Testament, from beginning to end over the course of a year. Simchat Torah is a joyful holiday filled with festivities, including lots of eating and family fun.  05.52: Christopher notes that Yom Kippur is a solemn holiday and it's a specific time when people can reflect on any offenses they may have committed against their family, friends, God, and the world around them. 07.15: Adina emphasizes that seeking forgiveness tradition is beautiful because it helps prevent small transgressions from accumulating within family relationships. It allows people to come full circle, make amends, and start fresh, fostering reconciliation and positive relationships. 09:25: Christopher asks Adina to describe the foods and recipes that are typically included in celebratory Jewish meals.  10.21: In Jewish celebrations food varies from house to house and my family but during Rosh Hashanah, there are several symbolic foods like apples dipped in honey, braided bread, and Matzo ball soup and brisket. 11.52: Adina suggests that food is an excellent way to engage children in cultural traditions. Parents can involve their kids by either preparing food together or sitting down to eat and explaining the significance of the dishes being served to help children feel connected to their heritage and understand the reasons behind the holiday customs. 12.16: Adina recommends reading books about Jewish holidays to children. These books can be a valuable resource in making abstract concepts more understandable and relatable to young minds. 16.06: Adina suggests seeking out a local Jewish Community Centre, which can be found in many states across the United States. JCCs typically offer a wide range of programming for all ages and levels of observance which allows families to participate in meaningful ways within the Jewish community and helps build a strong Jewish identity for their children. 3 Key Points There are several Jewish holidays during this season, starting with Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year, says Adina. She explains that Rosh Hashanah is a time for celebration, renewal, reflection, and a focus on making the upcoming year better. Adina explains that Rosh Hashanah is a joyful holiday and is a time of renewal and rebirth, similar to the way January 1st is celebrated as the New Year in the secular calendar. During Rosh Hashanah, people often engage in the custom of dipping apples into honey, symbolizing the desire for a sweet and prosperous year ahead. PJ Library serves as a practical and accessible way for parents and caregivers to introduce their children to Jewish traditions and strengthen their connection to their cultural heritage, says Adina. Tweetable Quotes “Simchat holiday follows Sukkot in the Jewish calendar and is marked by lively and spirited celebrations within the Jewish community.” - Adina Oberman “You can say "Happy New Year" to anyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah but in general for any Jewish holiday, you can use the phrase "Chag Sameach," which means "Happy Holiday." This is a versatile greeting suitable for various Jewish celebrations.” - Adina Oberman   Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple https://www.bigbooksforlittlehands.com/ Podcast Editing

Nancy grew up in Savannah, Georgia, and like most people, was active in the church. But after having kids, she moved into the Jewish neighborhood of Savannah, wanting what she saw there for her family. That started her down a path of questioning and curiosity that ultimately led her to convert. We talk about her journey, what she studied to become a certified Jew, and how her before-and-after lives compare. This episode kicks off an informal mini-series exploring conversion to Judaism. We'll hear a few personal stories, and a rabbinical perspective. This could be an endless series, because of course, every experience is unique. As many converts as there are in the world, that's how many reasons and paths there are to conversion.  Synagogue: the Jewish house of worship and learning. Also called a "shul" or temple.JEA: The Jewish Educational Alliance, is Savannah's version of a JCC (Jewish Community Center). JCCs originated in Baltimore in 1854 and are community and event centers, often with gyms and child care, open to membership from anyone. Proselytize: to recruit or attempt to convert someone to a faith. Hanukkah: The Festival of Lights, recognizable to many by the 9-branched menorah, takes place anywhere from October to December, on the 25 of the Jewish month of Kislev (Judaism uses a lunar calendar). Not actually a religious holiday, it commemorates the victory of the Maccabee (meaning: hammer) tribe over the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes.Zaydie: Yiddish for grandpa, also spelled “zaydeh” or “zaydee.”Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur: known as the High Holy Days, they are separated by ten days, collectively known as The Days of Awe. Rosh Hashanah means “head of the year,” but is not the calendar new year; it's the anniversary of Creation. Tradition says that on Rosh Hashanah the Book of Life is opened, and on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) it is sealed. During the Days of Awe, you're meant to apologize for, own up to, and forgive hurtful behavior from the previous year to be sealed in the Book of Life for a good year to come.   Mickve: a ritual bath, required in conversion, but also used in many rituals to signify cleansing, purification and a new start. Also spelled "mikveh," it is generally considered to be the origin of baptism.Beit Din: meaning “house of judgment,” it is a rabbinic court, and in some historical periods and communities, was also the civil court. In conversion, it's a panel representing the community the convert wishes to join. A note about Savannah's Jewish community: In 1733, a small group of mostly Portuguese Jews arrived in the 5-month-old colony of Georgia. In 1790, Georgia, now a state, granted a charter forming Congregation Mickve Israel, the third in the entire U.S. Historical records mentioning the congregation include an exchange with President George Washington after his election. The congregation still gathers in the neo-Gothic sanctuary off Monterey Square, consecrated on April 11, 1878.

On Shabbat we are going to take a look at three texts that deal with the Messiah. The first is an Elijah story. Elijah famously tells a rabbi searching for the Messiah that you can find him in a leper colony, among the most diseased and impoverished people. The second is a story by Israel's Nobel Prize-winning author Shmuel Agnon called The Kerchief, which is a literary treatment of the passage from the Talmud about the Messiah coming from a leper colony. The third is a sermon by Rabbi Harold Kushner, delivered at his son Aaron's Bar Mitzvah (Aaron would pass away later that year), on the Agnon story.

In pre-emancipation Europe, most Jews followed Jewish law most of the time, but by the turn of the twentieth century, a new secular Jewish identity had begun to take shape. How did Jews go from lives organized by synagogues, shul, and mikvehs to lives that were conducted in Hillel houses, JCCs, Katz's, and even Chabad? To what extent did their new lives remain explicitly Jewish? In Homes Away from Home: Jewish Belonging in 20th-Century Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg (Stanford University Press, 2018), Sarah Wobick-Segev tells the story of Ashkenazi Jews as they made their way in European society in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on the Jewish communities of Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg. At a time of growing political enfranchisement for Jews within European nations, membership in the official Jewish community became increasingly optional, and Jews in turn created spaces and programs to meet new social needs. The contexts of Jewish life expanded beyond the confines of "traditional" Jewish spaces into sites of consumption and leisure, sometimes to the consternation of Jewish authorities. Wobick-Segev argues that the social practices that developed between 1890 and the 1930s―such as celebrating holydays at hotels and restaurants, or sending children to summer camp―fundamentally reshaped Jewish community, redefining and extending the boundaries of where Jewishness happened.

Dr. Ruth Pinkenson Feldman is a recipient of the prestigious Covenant Award for Outstanding Jewish Educators. For 12 years she had the privilege of being the Director of Early Childhood Services for the Jewish Community Centers Association of North America. In that capacity, she developed groundbreaking initiatives in the field of Jewish early childhood education utilizing new technologies, traditional Jewish texts and cutting-edge research in the fields of child development and early education.   During her tenure at the JCC Association, Ruth convened an extraordinary team of artists and educators who together produced "An Ethical Start" a program for the JCCs to learn and incorporate the teachings from Pirkei Avot, a classic Jewish text which has given guidance for ethical behavior for thousands of years.   A graduate of Tufts University, with honors in both Child Study and in Philosophy, Ruth holds a Masters Degree from the Bank Street College of Education, and a doctorate from Temple University. Her dissertation on "The Impact of Jewish Day Care on Parental Jewish Identity" is frequently cited in the literature. Ruth's secular credentials have enabled her to teach in universities and her varied interests for continuing education have taken her to Reggio Emilia and to work closely with world-class educators and leaders. She was a Jerusalem Fellow and lived with her family for a year in Israel studying and 're-conceptualizing' Jewish early childhood education. In addition to her national and regional speaking engagements and consultations, Ruth has created a new intergenerational initiative to address the realities and needs of our contemporary Jewish culture: with the publication of her book, “The Green Bubbie: Nurturing the Future” Available on Amazon. Notwithstanding her decades of work in the field of early childhood education, if you go to the www.RuthFeldmanArt.com. you will see her life and accomplishments as an artist- Since 2009 she has been a professional artist. Her work is deeply spiritual drawing on traditional Jewish texts, creating a new language of expression, translating the language of prayer into color. However, most of her attention is showered on her many grandchildren which over the past decade have reinforced her observation skills as an ‘early childhood specialist' and mentor to many local ‘sprouts' those young budding artists who live nearby or travel to be with her in her garden.

A series of coordinated bomb threats at Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) across the United States have threatened children, many of them preschoolers, and their parents, causing repeated evacuations and creating a sense of anxiety some are finding hard to shake. The FBI is investigating at least 54 bomb threats at JCCs in 27 states, with 11 new threats called in Monday, February 6th. Over the weekend, gravesites at a Jewish cemetery in University City, Missouri, were vandalized. One JCC in Birmingham, Alabama, has been forced to evacuate its school and preschool twice in the past month. "If the intention was to scare us, these bomb threats have failed," David Posner of the Jewish Community Center Association told NBC News. Some parents, however, are certainly shaken by the continued threatened violence against their children. The threats started January 9, when the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reported 16 JCCs in the Northeast and Southeast received recorded messages threatening them with bombs. A second round occurred at 30 JCCs across 17 states on January 18. On January 31, at least 13 more threats were called in — this time individually, by a woman. None of the bomb threats were deemed credible. Though they were not credible, the threats themselves were chilling for anyone, especially a parent, to hear. "In a short time, a large number of Jews are going to be slaughtered," a woman states in a recording from a January 18 threat.  But some parents and JCC administrators are urging others not to let fear keep them from returning to their JCCs. Samantha Taylor, a mother of three near Orlando, Florida, has a three-year-old daughter who attends preschool at the Roth Family Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando, which has received three bomb threats in just over two weeks. Taylor, a board member at the JCC, was on campus for the first one.

Is 58:3-10, Mt 5:13-20 The Rev. Mary Meadows preaching. It was near the end of the summer between 9th and 10th grade – between junior high and senior high. I had finished with my job teaching swimming at the local YMCA, and I wondered what I would do while waiting for school to begin. My next-door neighbor came to the rescue. “I cook for First Baptist Church at Falls Creek, a big Baptist camp. I could really use a helper. I’ll pay you – I just need you for an hour before each meal so you’ll still have time to do things with the other campers.” A paid job and I could be out of the house for a couple of weeks. Sure, why not?! I didn’t know much about Baptists at that time. I had started out life as Catholic, but my parents left the Catholic church when I was in grade school. They were frustrated with a church that did not seem to respond to the world’s needs. Then we were Unitarian for a while. But by the end of junior high, I didn’t feel I was much of anything. But this was the year when Baptists (and when I say Baptists here I am talking about Southern Baptists – there wasn’t much else in Oklahoma!) were making popular a bumper sticker exclaiming, “I found it!” a reference to finding Jesus Christ as a personal savior. My family was more likely to tout the response bumper sticker that said, “I never lost it.” Nonetheless, with not much worry and only a mild admonition from my parents to, “Have fun – but try not to get saved,” I headed off to the borderland between Oklahoma and Texas for a summer camp. Other than having to get up earlier than most of the other campers to help in the kitchen before breakfast, the camp felt mostly like camp. Well, let me clarify. It wasn’t camp like “camping” - the kind my Girl Scouts did in cabins or tents. No this was “camping” in a huge barrack-like building amid other huge barrack-like buildings owned by other large churches. And there was an awful lot of God talk. Bible studies in the morning where I learned such things as, “If you are lukewarm for God, God is going to spit you out – just like the whale spit out Jonah.” And there were the church services in the evening – a revival type feeling. But there was also lots of singing, with songs like, “Wherever he leads I’ll go” and “It only takes a spark to get the fire burning,” (when Pass It On was a relatively new song). Since I liked to sing, it was enough to carry me through most of the God-talk. That is, until someone found out I wasn’t saved. I don’t know if you have ever been witnessed to, but it is a little intimidating. Everyone suddenly wants to share with you about his or her personal relationship with Jesus Christ and how you can have that relationship to if you only give your life up to him. They can pounce on you at any moment. And it sometimes felt like an inquisition. “Do you believe in Jesus?” “Sure, I believe Jesus was a real person,” I responded (we had been Unitarian after all). “Do you believe what Jesus said?” “Probably.” “Did you know Jesus said you had to be saved?” “Show me where Jesus said it.” Well, that would send them scrambling through their Bible – apparently, they weren’t used to having to prove things, and I was safe until the next person decided to try a hand at witnessing. One memorable counselor tried a sympathetic approach. “I know it’s hard for you to understand this since Catholics are not Christian.” Let’s just call that one a complete fail. But more troubling than being witnessed to was that I just didn’t see that much of a difference in the behavior of those who were “saved” and the usual behavior of teenagers. There was still teasing, catty remarks, and judgments (like rating girls on the way to the pool – yes, boys and girls swam separately). And there didn’t seem to be any focus on changing behavior. Rather, the focus was on confessing your sins and God would forgive you. I had the sense that many assumed that since you could ask forgiveness later, it didn’t matter what you did. And that made no sense to me. Even at 15, I was pretty sure that if there was a God, your faith in that God should probably make a difference in how you lived your life. So, I was even more confused when I overheard a couple of camp leaders talking about my 7th grade Social Studies teacher. One of the leaders acknowledged, “She is such a good person.” But the other answered, “Yes, but too bad she’s not a Christian.” I found these words jarring. First, how would they know whether she was Christian, and second, wouldn’t it be better to be a good person then a person claiming to be Christian but having a faith that didn’t matter? My imponderable questions were left unanswered and I managed to escape the camp unscathed and unsaved. Yet here I am today, preaching! . . . A few things may have happened since then. And to my great joy, today we begin with the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah is speaking to a people in Exile. The City of Jerusalem is in ruins and the temple has been destroyed. The Israelites have been determined to win back God’s favor and we know from Zechariah that for 70 years following the destruction of Jerusalem the Israelites fasted on the 5th and 7th months of each year. But their ritual fast has been to no avail and so they call out to God, “Why do we fast and you do not see!” The Israelites felt abandoned by God and cannot understand how their pious behavior had not returned them to God’s favor. Isaiah, however, understands the limits of the ritual. He understands that true fasting is an attempt to align one’s priorities to the will of God. But the Israelites’s fasting aligned priorities to themselves. “We’re the victims, here. God, why have you abandoned us? Save us God. Do right by us, God!” While the people have mastered the ritual aspects of the law they have completely ignored the ethical demands of it. Isaiah reminds them of God’s true fast: Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin? Isaiah reminds the Israelites – reminds us, that worshiping God and being in right relationship with God requires that we give ourselves to the work of God in this world. In other words, unlike what I heard and saw at the Baptist Camp oh so many years ago, faith requires behavior that is aligned with God. Some commentators view this passage as an “if” “then” type of proposal. IF you fast in this way – THEN God will see you and answer you. But an “if” “then” proposition suggests God “rewards” our good behavior by turning God’s face to us. But I believe God is present – the issue is more about the ability to see God’s presence. An epiphany of sorts. So, I read this passage as more of a “when” “then” proposition. WHEN we are actively engaged in the social and economic reform that God calls us to – feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked – THEN our “light shall break forth like the dawn and our healing shall spring quickly. We will call and the LORD will answer. We will cry for help and God will say, `Here I am.’” In other words, it is in doing the work of God in this world that we will know and understand God’s presence. Matthew reminds us of this light imagery in the passage in this continuation of Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount – you remember, the bumper sticker beatitudes Luke led us through last week. In this week’s passage, Jesus tells the people gathered that when they (and we assume also us), live in the way of those beatitudes, we are the salt of earth and light to the world. Not very glamorous, is it? After all, salt is cheap and readily available to us and enhances most of what we eat. Anyone who has been on a low-sodium diet can attest to the difference a little salt makes. And light – we live in a light-saturated if not light-polluted environment. Light is everywhere. But light and salt share a couple of characteristics. We perceive each primarily through our senses. We know salt through our sense of taste. We experience light through our sense of sight. But while we know salt and light through our senses, neither is the primary object of our perception. We don’t cook a meal of salt or eat salt on its own (although my daughter has been known to try). Instead, we use a very small amount of salt to enhance the flavor of what we are eating. Likewise, while we can see light, our purpose in turning on the light is to better see what is around us. Jesus tells us we are salt of the earth – don’t dilute the flavor we bring to the table with impurities. We are light of the world – don’t hide the light. Indeed, Jesus says the light cannot be hidden. “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.” Jesus’s listeners, who lived in the context of Roman domination, would likely have known that Rome saw itself as the “light to the world.” By telling people a city on a hill cannot be hidden, Jesus is effectively saying that it is us, doing God’s work in this world who are the true light, not the rulers of the world who’s actions are contrary to God’s call for justice. So how are we, in this time and place, to live out this call to be salt of the earth – light of the world? Because we are all more aware of the darkness in this world than ever before. The hateful vitriol that has taken over civil and political discourse in this country has only further fed the violence in this world. In just this past week alone, six Muslims were killed and eight wounded in a Mosque in Quebec City last Sunday night – the accused a self-described ultra nationalist white supremacist. On Tuesday, the JCC/YMCA in Toledo received a bomb threat – one of 17 across the nation to JCCs. According to the Jewish Federation, over 60 bomb threats have been received by JCCs across the country since January 1. Meanwhile, children, like four-month old Fatima from Iran, may not live because they are banned from the country that could provide the life-giving surgery they desparately need. But in the midst of this hatred and violence, there is light. Last month, the police in Whitefish, Montana nailed a mezuzah on the door of the police station in a sign of solidarity with the Jewish community facing the threat of a neo-Nazi march. The Reverend John Edgerton, a UCC minister service Old South Church in Boston publically voiced his objections to the repeal of the Affordable Care Act to his senator – and was arrested. Last weekend, Sylvania UCC turned out 30 strong to work with others at Christ Presbyterian to pack meals for those who are hungry in our community. More recently, educators responding to the anxiety and concerns of their students held a One Sylvania: Rally for Refugees last Wednesday where the overwhelming message from faith and community leaders was love and welcome. Our own Pastor Luke shared his passion for the God of Abraham, the God of Jesus, who calls us to love. Pastor Sam banded with other faith leaders seeking unity in the area in response to the violence. One response of this group has come from the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo who invites all to join them at the Center for “a prayer of peace, love and serenity,” as an expression of gratitude for the outpouring of support they have received. Their invitation sends out the prayer, “May fear be replaced with faith and worries be transmuted into peace.” And the Canadian government’s response to the violence at the Mosque? Ontario has agreed to open its borders to provide life-saving surgeries for children like Fatima. The Canadian health minister noted, “I felt, particularly in light of the occurrences in the past week … in Quebec, that Canadians and Ontarians would feel comfortable and confident in expressing our openness.” How will you live out your worship as salt and life in this world? Maybe it is as simple as showing up for the Polar Bash on the 18th to show welcome to our Syrian neighbors. Maybe you participated on the March in Washington and continue to make your voice heard in Washington with phone calls to express opposition to people and laws that will oppress the most vulnerable in this world. Maybe you show up to school every day and shine God’s love through the way you value each of your students. Maybe you operate your business with integrity and respect, valuing each customer. Maybe you see your job, whether as a maintenance engineer, a doctor, a microbiologist, a lawyer, a nurse, a firefighter, a barrista, or security personnel as a way to serve God. And maybe, you who are retired, are finding new ways to engage in the world in a manner that allows you to shine God’s love. Jesus did not say you are becoming salt and light. Jesus said you ARE salt and light. Indeed, there is an implicit command in his words: BE salt of the earth. BE light of the world As Isaiah tells us, “If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.” Be salt. Be light!

This week, Aaron Herman had the opportunity to speak with Oren Kashi, who is a member of Moishe House. How do you build community? We had the opportunity to speak to Oren Kashi member of Moishe House Great Neck. Moishe House was founded in 2006 and has quickly grown from four friends hosting Shabbat dinners for young adults out of their home in Oakland, California, to 46 thriving centers of Jewish life, spanning 14 countries. Moishe House is the largest organization of its kind, serving an international cohort of more than 50,000 Jewish young adults around the world annually. Moishe House has become an essential component in serving the Jewish post-college young adult population, by providing opportunities for community involvement, Jewish learning and leadership. THE MOISHE HOUSE MODEL We have developed a creative, low-barrier, cost-effective and scalable model for building vibrant, peer-based Jewish communities and learning opportunities for Jewish young adults in their twenties. Given that emerging adults are the true experts on their generation, Moishe House cultivates young leaders to create Jewish community — on their own terms — for their peers, in ways that are meaningful and relevant. The center of the approach is an open, welcoming home, created and facilitated by a group of 3-5 young adults (residents). Moishe House residents come from a wide variety of Jewish backgrounds and are selected for their demonstrated leadership abilities and outgoing personalities. Working together as a team, the residents plan and host a diverse range of low-barrier religious, cultural and social events in their home, including Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, Repair the World programs, and more. In addition to planning their own programs, the house residents also support existing community resources by partnering with local Jewish organizations such as JCCs, synagogues, federations, and other institutional providers.
