Off The Bimah...

On November 18th 42 members of Women of the Wall, a group which has gathered at the Kotel for the last 21years and is comprised of Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist and Reform women assembled in the

womens section at the Kotel for their monthly observance of Rosh Hodesh. It was a cold, Jerusalem morning.Some were wearing tallitot hidden under their coats; aseferTorah was in its regular bag. Surprisingly, there wasno booing, no pushing, and no shouting from within the womens section or from the mens section. On otheroccasions, the Women of the Wall have been accosted both verbally and physically byharedi worshippers.

Just moments after the women removed theseferTorah from its bag, two menentered the womens section and began abusing them. The women simply wantedto conclude their prayers peacefully so they decided to skip the Torah reading at theKotel and move as theyve done on every other Rosh Hodesh to read the Torah at

Robinsons Arch, their alternative site. As they exited Nofrat Frenkel, a medicalstudent whose family has been long time members of a Masorti (Conservative)congregation, was carrying the Torah. A policeman met the group and began forcefullypushing Nofrat toward the nearby police station. The women pleaded with the police and tried to explain that theywe were on their way to the alternative site. Their pleas fell on deaf ears. Nofrat was transferred for questioning

to a police station at Davids Citadel. Her tallit, siddur and aseferTorah were all she had with her. Nofrat wasbanned from visiting theKotelfor two weeks, and a criminal file was also opened against her; one which mayjeopardize her medical studies.

Nofrats arrest caused a firestorm in Israel. A mass rally was held in downtown Jerusalem protesting her treat-ment by the police and calling for end of haredi domination of Jewish religious life in Israel. Many who supportthe call for religious pluralism in Israel hoped that the arrest of Nofrat Frenkel was an anomaly, a tragic errorwhich would never be repeated. But then one short month later another member of the Women of the Wall wasdetained by the Israeli police. This time it was the groups leader, Anat Hoffman, who also serves as the Directorof the Israel Religious Action Center. Anat was questioned by police, fingerprinted, and told that she might be

charged with a felony for violating the rules of conduct at what is considered Judaisms most sacred site. Anatsdetention by the police and the threat of being charged with a felony for the crime has only demonstrated thatreligious freedom and pluralism will not be easily attained. It will require a prolonged, concerted effort by thoseliving within Israel and in the Diaspora - most especially by those of us living here in North Americaafter all,Israel is our Holy Land too.

I am delighted to announce that we will have the rare opportunity to hear about the Women of the Wall,Nofrat Frankel and the fight for religious freedom in Israel from none other than Anat Hoffman. Anat will speak atCBI during Shabbat morning services on May 1. Please join us and hear from one of the leaders on thefront-lines of the effort to enable all Jews to worship freely in the Jewish State.

rom Our Hazzan!!!

When I first met my brother-in-law to be, Chris, we didnt have much to talk about. We were born and raisedin different parts of the country, received appreciably different educations, and had lived much different lives.One obvious quality we shared was our love for Amanda; but even that was a tenuous commonality as ourrespective relationships with her were so vastly different that it barely constituted common ground.

Over dinner, we talked politely and exchanged pleasantries but never developed any meaningful conversa-tion. Though discouraged with our lack of bonding, I remained hopeful of finding a connection.

Knowing that Chris was a guitarist, I had brought my flute on the off chance we would have a chance to playtogether. As it happened, one of Chris band members, Floanother guitaristwas there. After dinner, as weall sat in the living room, the two of them took out their guitars and began playing through their repertoire ofold jazz standards.

As I listened, I assembled my flute, hoping to join in. I did not recognize the songthey were playing but was able to follow the chord progression well enough toimprovise a solo. When it came to the end of Chris solo, I motioned with a subtle

a nod of the head that I would take the next solo. Without any hesitation, Chris shifted

from soloist to accompanist as if we had been practicing regularly. As I completed mysolo, I cued Chris again with a subtle nod that I was finished and Chris finished thenumber by returning to the melody. Throughout the night, we continued to playthrough the bands songbookrarely speaking, yet intimately communicating.

How could two people, with so little in common, who just moments ago were unableto develop a meaningful conversation, now play music together with the ease of a wellrehearsed ensemble?

Among jazz musicians, there is a longstanding tradition of standards, a multitude of songs that everyone

knows. There are well-known chord progressions and melodic motifs musicians use to create improvised solos.There is a culture with a language that those in the jazz world share, and use to express themselves and commu-

nicate with each other.As a Jewish people, the Torah is one of the essential shared aspects of our tradition. Within a single syna-

gogue, there will be people with interests, hobbies and political perspectives that differ from one another. Wecome from different ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. Yet the Torah belongs to all of us. As weread from it each week, as Jews have done for centuries, we recount our peoples history and values. We see

ourselves in the narratives, finding joy in our ancestors exploits as well as sharing in their sadness and shame,hoping that we can do better.

At CBI, it is our custom to have congregants read from the Torah each Shabbat. This gives us all not only anadded opportunity to take a leadership role in the service, but also a chance to take part in the telling of our peo-ples history as we see it unfold.

I recently held two courses at CBI on Torah reading, one for beginners and one for advanced readers. It gives

me great pleasure to work with people of all levels ranging from those who have never read to our most experi-enced readers looking to refine their skills. I plan on holding more such classes in the future. In the meantime,my office is always open to those who would like to learn.

From Our Education Director

Shavuot was the first holiday that I celebrated in Milwaukee. Almost immediately upon coming into CBI, I saw flyers for

Tikkun HaIrs Glean Machine, an effort to collect clothing for those in need. I remember being very impressed that thecongregation is involved in a community-wide effort to participate in one of the lessons learned from the story of Ruth.I thought then, and still think today, that this is a great way to help celebrate the holiday of Shavuot. It continues to impressme that CBI participates in this effort.

Shavuot has become one of my favorite holidays. I do not remember learning much about Shavuot as a child (although I amsure that I did) since it often falls after Religious School ends for the year. As an adult, however, I have really come to lovethe holiday.

Shavuot has some very fun customs, such as eating delicious dairy foods, decorating our homes and the Synagogue with thesigns of Spring in full bloom and staying up late on Erev Shavuot to learn. It is also a very serious holiday; just seven weeksafter reliving our freedom from Egyptian slavery, we relive receiving the Torah in Sinai. We remember the mitzvot, the com-mandments and responsibilities we take on as Jews. I think one of the most important responsibilities we take on is caring forothers in our community.

On Shavuot we read the Book of Ruth, one of my favorite stories in the Tanah. This wonderful story tells of Ruth, a Moabitewoman who decides to embrace the faith of Israel and return there with Naomi, her mother-in-law, following the deaths oftheir husbands. She supports herself and Naomi by gleaning barley from the fields of Boaz. The story of Ruth emphasizestwo of the main themes of Shavuot: the importance of embracing the Torah and the importance of helping those who arein need during the harvest.

As we approach our celebration of Shavuot, I encourage you to enjoy the fun aspects of the holiday, to consider what mitzvotyou feel are most important and to do what you can to help the community.

Josh, Nadav and I wish you a Hag Shavuot Sameah!
