 Off The Bimah...by Rabbi Herber

This month Israel observes the 62nd anniversary of its independence. On many days during
the last several months finding the joy to celebrate this achievement has been a challenge.
The publication and debate over the infamous Goldstone Report, the outrageous student protest
which disrupted and brought to an end the visit of Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren’s visit to
the campus of the University of California, Irvine campus, and the recent reprise of Israel
Apartheid Week across our country remind us that Israel’s enemies are many, that their voices are gaining a
growing following and their views are becoming more and more mainstream. Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas refuses to engage in direct talks with Israel, and Hamas continues to seek Israel’s destruction.
To top things off, the relationship between United States and Israel hit a new diplomatic low last month. This has
not been an easy time.

How do we maintain hope in the face of depressing and despairing assessments of the near future? Or, put
differently, how might we appropriately celebrate Israel’s 62nd birthday in a few weeks time?

Let’s remember what there is to celebrate. Sixty-two years ago a small, vulnerable country came into being, and
over the course of six decades it has achieved miraculous things under often treacherous conditions. Cultivating
the land, absorbing wave after wave of immigrants, building a vibrant and diverse culture, preserving a democ-
racy, utterly rewriting the meaning of Jewish identity in the modern world, these are not small achievements and
they deserve to be celebrated even in difficult times.

Let’s also consider that none of Israel’s achievements has come without cost. Nation building leaves diverse and
dramatic damage in its wake, sometimes to others, sometimes to oneself. So it’s been with Israel’s prodigious
accomplishments, as the Jewish State continues to struggle with issues of war and peace with the Palestinians and
with neighboring Arab states and simultaneously engages demanding and complicated social and cultural issues
of all kinds. Independence hasn’t been easy, I suspect it never is.

There are then significant and important reasons for celebrating. So let’s stand together with Israel and be counted
when the entire Jewish community celebrates Yom Hazikaron (Day of Remembrance) and Yom Ha’atzmaut
(Israel Independence Day) April 18 and 19 at the JCC.

CBI Social Action Committee

Will Host a Spring Shoe Drive
In the spring, we will be collecting shoes for Soles4Souls. This is a wonderful organization that takes shoes that are
not in use and puts them on the feet of those in need. This, in turn, also helps the environment by recycling shoes
that may otherwise be sent to a landfill. We encourage everyone to start cleaning out their closets and saving adult
and children’s gently used or new shoes. Simply cleaning out your closets can make a significant difference in the
quality of life of someone in need. (Collection bin in front of the Glass Box)

 A From Our Hazzan!!!

On October 6, 1973—Yom Kippur—Israel found itself caught in the midst of a surprise attack at the hands of Egypt and Syria.
Against great odds, the Tzahal fought valiantly to repel the invaders. Twenty days later, the Yom Kippur War was over. Although the
Jewish State remained in tact, the results were devastating not only in terms of casualties, but also with regards to the morale of the
Israeli people. Just six years earlier, Israel had emerged triumphant against insurmountable odds in a mere six days! The great high
and sense of invincibility Israel experienced following the Six Day War now gave way to feelings of vulnerability and confusion as
people began to question the indestructibility of Israel.
In response to the Yom Kippur War, Israeli recording artists released a series of songs addressing the wide range of emotions Israel
felt both during and after the war. These songs vividly capture the grief and despair brought on by the war as well as highlight a
strong sense of hope for more peaceful days. Among the most famous of these songs are Hamilhama Ha’ahrona (The Last War) and
Lu Yehi (Naomi Shemer’s Hebrew version of the Beatles’ ―Let It Be‖).
One of the lesser known songs from this era is Ein Lanu Milim (We Have No Words) by Matti Caspi. The opening words of the
song are:

Ein lanu milim v’ein gam mangina We have no words or melody

Lo nora efshar lashir gam “la la la” It’s OK, we can just sing ―la la la‖

While other songs of the time eloquently communicate the physical and emotional devastation of the war, this song’s refrain says
simply ―We have no words.‖ In place of words, the song suggests singing ―la la la.‖ Though singing nonsense syllables may not seem
like an effective way of responding to such a situation, it does address a significant aspect of dealing with adversity.
When faced with grief and tragedy, we often look to find an explanation. We search for the words that truly express our suffering.
Sometimes, though, when we are overcome by our emotions—whether joy or pain—we simply cannot elicit the right words. In fact,
there may not even be ANY words that truly communicate the magnitude of how we feel.
The song’s author may not have been an observant Jew, but he did touch on a powerful aspect of Jewish tradition: the niggun. These
wordless melodies, rooted in the Hassidic tradition, are said to be the ―pen of the soul.‖ Emanating from deep within, they allow us to
communicate our most intimate feelings without the burden of words. A niggun can express all ranges of emotions—happiness and dis-
tress, celebration and affliction—as well as the inexpressible nature of what we are feeling.
This month, we commemorate Yom Hashoah and Yom Hazikaron. We remember those who perished in the Shoah and pay tribute to
those who died in defense of Israel. As we share stories of heroism and sadness, we will search for the words to comfort those who have
been affected by tragedy and to find solace for ourselves. When our words fail us, we can sing a niggun.

May the memories of all those we remember forever be a blessing.

To hear examples of various niggunim, visit the “Hazzan’s Listening Lab” on the CBI website

 From Our Education Director

CBI’s school is one of several area schools participating in an exciting program brought to Milwaukee
by the Coalition for Jewish Learning called the Jewish Lens. The Jewish Lens is a class based on the
combination of photography and Jewish values. It utilizes the photography of Israeli photographer
Zion Ozeri and Jewish texts while encouraging students to capture images of
Jewish values in their lives.

We are offering the Jewish Lens class as an elective in our high school program
taught by Amanda Rupenthal. In the class, the students are learning basic
principles of photography while studying a variety of Jewish values. They are
learning different ways to look at a photo to understand the content and message it portrays. Towards
the beginning of the semester, Kipp Friedman, a professional photographer and Milwaukee Jewish Lens
coordinator, led a session with the students on how to take quality photographs. The students are
engaging in Jewish text study and learning how to relate the values in the texts to different images. They
are then taking a variety of photographs that portray those values explored in the texts.

For a sampling of the texts and photographs that the students are studying, please visit the Jewish Lens
website at www.jewishlens.org.

On Tuesday, May 11th from 7:00-9:00pm there will be an exhibit and reception at the Jewish Commu-
nity Center featuring the photos of Milwaukee's Jewish teens. The work of our students will be proudly
displayed among the work of other area schools. I encourage everyone to come to see the work that the
students are producing.

Friday Night: Is there Jewish Theater?

Join us as we read scenes from 20th century Theater and consider what makes a Jewish play. This is your chance to be a star – you might
even get a starring role.

Shabbat: The Written Word – the Archetypical Jewish Art Form

The Jews have always been the people of the Book – the Torah being unquestionable the central book of Jewish life. However, can we
look at our seminal texts as artistic as well as halachic or historical? We will look at traditional texts and consider their astonishing artis-
tic merit.

Shabbat (during kiddish/lunch) : The Power of Jewish Art

We will examine a work of the Jewish artist Mauryci Gottleib, who, in spite of being the victim of anti-Semitism in 19th Century Poland,
is today considered by Poles to be the greatest Polish artist.

 It began in 1971 and 1973 as two men and their families joined Congregation Beth Israel. They were both doctors, one a
medical doctor and the other, a PhD. Instantaneously, they became involved in our synagogue, chairing assorted
committees, serving on the Board of Trustees, in various capacities, being
appointed Gabbiam and now recently elected Lifetime Trustees.

Dr. Bud Margolis, a retired pulmonologist, served as chief of medicine at both

St Lukes Hospital and St Francis Hospital, and was president of his medical group.
Bud is married to Judy and father to three children, Adam, Jessie and Simeon.
He has been a vital member of CBI since1971. Bud has served as Vice President
of Membership, was appointed to the Hazzan selection and review committees
and is currently the co-chair of the Cemetery Committee. He has taught matzah
baking and at one time helped the Sisterhood bake hallot as well. You can now
find Bud working in the library. On Shabbat mornings, Bud is on the bima serving
as one of our Gabbiam..

Dr. Jay Miller, PhD, is currently teaching math at Marquette University and UW-Milwaukee, is married to Bobby and the
father of three children, Aaron, Rachel and Robyn. Jay has shared his wit and humor with the membership of CBI since
1973.

He has been on the Ritual Committee since he first joined and for more than 30 years he has served on the subcommittee
to assign High Holy Day honors. During the High Holy Days you can find Jay making sure that no one misses their honor.
Jay was instrumental in writing the bylaws for the CBI Hebrew School, and at one time taught on Sundays for over nine
years. Jay has been a part of the Board of Trustees continuously since 1976 and currently he holds four positions on the
Board – Gabbai, Parliamentarian, Lifetime Trustee and unofficially the resident humorist. You can always find Jay on
Shabbat mornings manning the doors as usher in between his duties as a Gabbai.
