FROM OUR RABBI
DR. HESCHEL AND DR. KING
By Rabbi Robert S. Pilavin
T he first Shabbat of 2021 – January 2 - is Parashat Vayechi (18 Shevat). By
coincidence, Rabbi Dr. Abraham Joshua Heschel passed away on that same Hebrew
date – and on Shabbat as well. January 18 is the national observance of the birthday of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In Selma, it was Dr. Heschel (far right) who marched with Dr. King in a now-iconic
photo.
Heschel and King enjoyed a great
friendship. Heschel invited King to
address the Rabbinical Assembly at their
March 1968 convention. King was to
have been Heschel’s Seder guest a few
weeks later. Sadly, he ended up
delivering a eulogy at King’s funeral one
week before Pesach.
While Heschel was a noted scholar
and theologian, he is best remembered as
a social activist. His most accessible
work is The Insecurity of Freedom:
Essays on Human Existence. Many of
these 20 essays address the Jewish
community; others display the wide
range of his religious concerns. His
1964 address to the American Medical Association is entitled “The Patient as a Person.” He spoke to both the
White House Conference on Children and Youth (1960) and the White House Conference on Aging (1961). He
was highly regarded by Christians. “Sacred Image of Man” (1957) was given to the national convention of the
Religious Education Association. His “Protestant Renewal: A Jewish View” (1963) was written at the invitation
of the editor of the Christian Century. His “The Ecumenical Movement” (1963) was delivered at the dinner for
Augustin Cardinal Bea and reprinted in the Catholic News.
While he would go on to become an outspoken critic of the Vietnam War, Heschel first involved himself
in the struggle for civil rights. For example, “The White Man is On Trial” (1964) was delivered at the
Metropolitan Conference on Religion and Race. “Religion and Race” (1963) was the opening address at the
National Conference on Religion and Race.
The latter essay includes his defense of Dr. King from the clergy who opposed King’s efforts to advance
racial equality. Heschel disapprovingly quotes a (white) preacher who claimed that “the job of the minister is
to lead the souls of men to God, not to bring about confusion by getting tangled up in transitory social
problems.” By contrast, Heschel insisted that the Hebrew prophets believed God was concerned about
precisely these problems. In this essay, Heschel offers a famous definition: “A prophet is a person who holds
God and men in one thought at one time, at all times.” Heschel continued, “our tragedy begins with the
segregation of God, with the bifurcation of the secular and sacred.” Heschel acknowledges the fact that some
Americans may have a spotless record where race relations are concerned. Nevertheless, “an honest estimation
of the moral state of our society will disclose: Some are guilty, but all are responsible.”

Sisterhood Scoop
By Mindy Fromm
I hope that this newsletter finds you all safe and well. As Chanukah has just past, I hope that you
all enjoyed your crispy latkes and donuts dripping with jelly. I sure did. Our Sisterhood Festival of Lights
Chanukah Program was a huge success. We shared some treasured family recipes and wonderful
heartwarming stories of traditions and memories that went along with them. We all enjoyed our Secret
Sister gift exchange that was spearheaded and coordinated by Barbara Zagha and Michelle Fields. Thank
you both so much for your efforts. Everyone enjoyed unwrapping a gift that was picked out for each of
us from our secret sister. What fun!! And finally, lighting our menorahs together created a heartwarming
and uplifting moment. As usual, it was wonderful sharing this with all of you.
The ringing in of 2021 certainly will bring many sighs of relief that 2020 is in our past and now we
look forward to positive changes in this new year ahead. I pray that the spirit and hopefulness of a new
year will push forward and give us peace, health and joyful times. We certainly will have many stories to
tell. We look forward to sharing other programs with you in the upcoming months. Some of our sisters
are already planning and putting final touches on two special programs. Please watch your email for more
information on those and also our upcoming book chats with Jane Goldstein. Our social chair Dorothy
Jablonka will be continuing Daytime Social Club meetings. Please watch your email for dates and times.
For many of us, we still struggle with muddling through these uncertain times. If you are in need
of any assistance or just feel like chatting please call me or any one of our presidium whose numbers are
listed below. We will help in any way we can. We were so excited to help some of you learn to zoom and
join in on our programs. Please continue to reach out. Our presidium misses everyone. We long to get
back to sharing time and events together and the little things that we took for granted. But for now we
will adapt and adjust. Stay well and healthy!

RITUAL NEWS
TU B’SHEVAT (15 SHEVAT) IS WEDNESDAY NIGHT JANUARY 27
Tu B’Shevat is the New Year of the Trees. In Israel, the day is celebrated as an ecological
awareness day, and trees are planted in celebration. On Tu B’Shevat 1890, Rabbi Ze'ev
Yavetz, one of the founders of the Mizrachi movement, took his students to plant trees in the
agricultural colony of Zichron Yaakov. This custom was adopted in 1908 by the Jewish
Teachers Union and later by the Jewish National Fund.
JANUARY 17 SESSION: WHEN ONE RABBI DEFENDED SLAVERY
On the eve of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we mark the 160th anniversary of a famous pro-
slavery sermon delivered by Rabbi Morris Jacob Raphall (1798-1868). This sermon was
given in Congregation B’nai Jeshurun in New York during the period in between Lincoln’s
election and the official start of the Civil War. The Rabbi will provide excerpts of this sermon
and the arguments used from Genesis 9 and 16, Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 (the Ten
Commandments) and elsewhere. The Rabbi will begin his “Zoom” talk at 7:30 PM
Sunday January 17 and end before minyan.

From My Perch
By Maxine Pilavin
Mending the Ties that Break
I have recently reconnected with some of my large extended family. Our shared isolation and
search for more human interaction likely sparked these renewed links. Cousins with whom I have not
had contact in years, have been emailing and texting me. A cousin I phoned in Atlanta told me of her
son’s recent marriage. Another cousin living in Israel now keeps me up to date on WhatsApp about
happenings in Israel and her family. A cousin in Florida called and informed me of both the sad and
the joyful news concerning her husband and son. It is wonderful to expand my list of contacts and
fascinating to discover what has been happening in my family’s lives.
Still, there was one cousin about whom I was unsure, one with whom I’d had a bumpy
relationship many years ago. This cousin seemed to have an exaggerated view of my economic status
and once registered a complaint about it. She appeared jealous somehow. Over the years, I contacted
her on a couple of occasions, but she never called me. I suspect she never changed her views about
me, even 40 years later. Nonetheless, I considered reaching out to her. I emailed, asked her how she
was faring, told her what was happening with my family and me, and concluded that she should feel
free to reply if she wished. She did not respond.
I felt bad about my cousin’s unwillingness to rebuild a relationship. Thoughts surfaced not only
about her envious feelings towards me, but also about envy’s destructive effects. In the Torah, we see
many examples of this. Cain jealously murders his brother Abel because God preferred Abel’s
offering. Joseph’s brothers become jealous of Joseph because he is the favored son. This causes the
brothers to try to murder him and then sell him into slavery. Miriam, one of the three most powerful
leaders in the Israelite community, speaks poorly of Moses to her brother Aaron. The siblings envy
Moses’ special relationship with God, and God punishes Miriam for this.
Envy causes a blindness in us. Envious people focus on others’ blessings and do not see their
own, which, ironically, may be even more substantial. Jealous people, in emphasizing others’
blessings, are oblivious to others’ bad luck—luck which may actually outweigh their fortunes. Finally,
envious people, unable to see beyond their jealousies, end up breaking off relationships with the
people they envy, creating a rift in their friendships.
Sadly, family members’ negative feelings for one another can last a long time, sometimes for a
lifetime. At my wedding, we could not seat any of my grandfather’s seven brothers at the same table
because of arguments that took place decades earlier. In my husband’s family, my father-in-law and
his brother lived a mile apart from each other, yet neither they nor their families had any interaction
for over 35 years.
My husband advocates trying to mend the broken ties in our lives. He believes that with
periodic attempts, we can chip away at the rotten part of the relationship to reestablish a fruitful one.
True, it doesn’t always work, but it’s certainly worth a try. We can rejuvenate relationships and add to
our arsenal of contacts. In the words of Marie Kondo, that would spark joy, especially in these
isolating times.

10 the VOICE • 17 TEVET - 18 SHEVAT 5781RABBI GEDALIA DOV SCHWARTZ SERVED CONGREGATION SONS OF ISRAEL
Rabbi Schwartz, a longtime judge in Orthodox
rabbinical courts and a leading authority in Jewish
law, passed away December 10. He was 95.
Rabbi Schwartz served as lead judge for the
Beth Din of America, one of the major Jewish courts
in the U.S., for nearly 30 years. He also led the court
of the Chicago Rabbinical Council since moving there
from Brooklyn in 1987. Prior to his post in Chicago,
Schwartz held pulpits in Providence, Rhode Island;
Englishtown, New Jersey; Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
In announcing his death, the Orthodox Union
described Rav Schwartz as “a universally recognized
leader of American Jewry whose psak halacha
(Jewish legal decisions) and wise counsel were sought by innumerable lay people, community
leaders, and rabbis alike.”
A native of Newark, NJ, he studied at Yeshiva College and was among the first American-born
students to receive semicha (rabbinic ordination) from Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik.
Over sixty years ago, his original work “Divrei Regesh” was endorsed by Rav Aaron Kotler of
Lakewood. Our synagogue library includes a signed copy of this book given as a gift to Esther and
Percy Bloom, of blessed memory, on 9 Elul 5720 (September 1, 1960). The back page of this
Talmudic work acknowledges the publishing assistance of prominent members of Sons of Israel:
Milton Berger, Jack Goldfine, Dr. Samuel Bar, Murray Yacknowitz, Jack Zackowitz, Anna Berger and
Chevrat Lomday Chumash b’Englishtown (The Englishtown Society of Torah Students).

Rabbi, continued from page 3
The Jewish Publication Society recently published Edward K. Kaplan’s one-volume biography:
Abraham Joshua Heschel: Mind, Heart, Soul. This book outlines Heschel’s Chasidic childhood in Warsaw, his
young adulthood in Vilna and Berlin, his escape from the Nazis, his arrival in America in 1940, and his role as
scholar and activist before his untimely passing in 1972.
On Shabbat morning, January 9, Jews begin reading the Book of Exodus. When we do, I am sure to
recall Heschel’s words: “At the first conference on religion and race, the main participants were Pharaoh and
Moses…. The outcome of that summit meeting has not come to an end…”
May the legacy of Rav Avraham Yehoshua ben Rav Moshe Mordecai continue to challenge and inspire!
