Rabbi’s Message

The Eichmann Trial, 50 Years Later This spring marks fifty years since the trial and execution of the former Lt. Col. of the SS and head of the Gestapo's Division of Jewish Affairs, Adolf Eichmann, yi-mach sh'mo. Some two years earlier, in 1960, Israeli Mossad agents had tracked down Eichmann in Argentina, where he was living and working under the name Ricardo Klement, and where he and his family were enjoying a relatively ordinary, carefree life since the end of the war. In cloak-and-dagger style, the agents captured Eichmann and brought him to Israel to stand trial. The then Israeli Attorney Gen-eral Gideon Hausner brought a 15-count indictment against Eichmann for crimes against the Jewish people, and against humanity. During the trial, Eichmann was confined to a bullet proof glass booth. For many around the world, the trial of Eichmann provided the first real exposure to the Nazi atrocities committed during

the Holocaust. International attention focused in on survivors as they testified in the Israeli court against "the man in the glass booth." Eichmann sat impassively.

Two decades years earlier, in January of 1942, Eichmann had gathered together with SS General Reinhard Hey-drich, and virtually all the top brass of the SS, in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee. There they hatched the plan for the "Final Solution," which became the code name for the idea and the implementation of the deliberate, system-atic annihilation of European Jewry, and the deportations of tens of thousands of Roma (Gypsies) as well.

As the trial in Israel concluded, Eichmann was found guilty and sentenced to death. On June 1, 1962, fifty years ago this spring, Eichmann was executed by hanging. His body was cremated and the ashes were spread at sea, beyond Israel's territorial waters. The execution of Adolf Eichmann remains the only time that Israel has enacted a death sentence.

Many who had survived the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis - by Eichmann and his cohorts - had kept their memories and emotions locked inside of them for almost two decades. But for many, the Eichmann trial pro-vided an avenue of communication, so that their silence could finally begin to break, and they could begin to fulfill what ultimately became the universal mission, "to bear witness."

During this month, through May 28, the United Nations will be hosting an exhibit called: "With Me Here Are Six Million Accusers: The Eichmann Trial in Jerusalem.” It is curated by Yad Vashem, The Holo-caust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Israel, and made possible by the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem. In part, the exhibit is meant to examine the influence of the Eichmann trial upon society as a whole, and upon the notions of justice and accountability, now in the 21st century. Because, as we know, the ultimate mission of the survivors, and of all of us, is "Never Again." This places upon us a special responsibil-ity. "Never Again," for us, means Jews first and foremost. But it cannot ONLY mean Jews. We, who are safe, must be the protectors of those who are not. When we see injustice and oppression, we must speak out. When we see genocide, we must speak out. That is the real meaning of "Never Again."

At the moment of Eichmann's execution, there was no rejoicing in Israel. There was relief, of course, and perhaps a sense of vindication for those who were brutalized. But there was no rejoicing. While he killed our people, he could not kill our humanity. It is the most precious thing we have. Am Yisrael Chai - the Jewish People live.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

Officer’s Column

Is Anyone Listening? Hello? Anybody out there?

Do you hear me? Are you listening?

There's a reason I'm asking. Sometimes I myself miss an article in the Bulletin. Yes, I admit it! That's why I'm checking to see if you are paying attention — by offering you the opportunity to give me your input on several important items that will help shape the future of Union Temple.

We're starting to put together a 5-year strategic plan. It will cover many areas from the way we conduct ser-vices ... to how we use space in the building ... to what we can do to better serve the needs of all our members and potential members.

What's your dream for a better Union Temple? What's your big idea?

Do you want more music at services, or less? Would you enjoy concerts? A drop-in center where you can hang out with your toddler on cold winter days? Sin-gles dances?

Whatever you wish, here's your chance to let us know how you would change the way things work. It's easy.

1. Take a moment to write down your idea — or ideas ... there's no limit.

2. Put your idea in an email to ellen@csnyllc.com with Subj: 5-Year Plan.

3. Hit the SEND button!

I will make sure you are heard.

ENGAGING ISRAEL

Each of these sessions combines video presentations by scholars at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, and text study conducted by our Rabbi. This series boldly confronts many of the challenges facing Israel at this time, with the academic rigor and moral courage emblematic of the Hartman Institute.

Goodman! On March 14th, Rabbi Goodman was installed as the President of the New York Board of Rab-bis, an historic honor as she became the first woman to lead the organization.

Preschool

Shoes and Other Topics The children at the Preschool have been truly embrac-ing the spring. Their work in the classrooms reflects their physical, cognitive, and social growth.

On Tuesday, March 27th the Hummingbirds, Pam Ap-ple’s fours class, took a special trip to the Jewish Chil-dren's Museum on Eastern Parkway. It was a wonder-ful experience, starting with an exciting ride on a yel-low school bus. This was a highlight of the trip for many of the children. They participated in a workshop just for their class, where they made their own matzoh. Then they had a special tour of the museum, where they crawled through a "giant challah", lit the Shabbat candles, and climbed up on "giant wine goblets." Af-ter completing the “Passover obstacle course”, the children played in the grocery store and scanned their groceries at the checkout counter. The final exhibit taught the children about importance of helping other people. Each child made a card that will be given to a patient at a hospital.

You can believe what you've heard: Yes, the Sparrows, Alex Beer’s threes class, are studying shoes. Ever no-tice how many different pairs of shoes a city kid ob-serves in a day? Noting the types, sizes, and styles of shoes around us allows them to practice sorting, pat-terning, counting, differentiating, and observing the needs of various people and what they wear on their feet. It's also fun. Little kids talk about their shoes A LOT. Why not dedicate some time to exploring them? Thus far they have read Pete the Cat (I Love My White Shoes), Shoe-La-La!, and Whose Shoes? They have traced their shoes and made collages of pictures of shoes. The Sparrows are however, less interested right now in projects and more so in playing together, so some of these pursuits may take a back seat. But soon they will begin photographing favorite shoes and com-paring the shoes of their baby selves with the shoes they wear today, discussing the results as a group.

The Robins, Christine Bardach’s threes class, have been enjoying the early arrival of spring. They created artwork using pastel colors and tissue paper buds. They ventured outside and noticed that many kinds of

flowers have started blooming. Now the children are getting ready for Passover by reading books and sing-ing songs. They crafted colorful seder plates and are excited to have their families join them for a Passover luncheon with Rabbi Goodman.

The Robins will also be able to witness a complete lifecycle in their classroom. They have been observing mealworms which will ultimately turn into beetles af-ter undergoing a pupa stage. This is a fascinating ex-perience for most children. There is a lot of growth going on all around the children. However, they them-selves are growing too and that is wonderful for us-their teachers - to watch.

After our Staff Development workshop on Block Building, Montana Vazquez-Grinnell, the Chickadees teacher (two-year-olds), has really been encouraging block building in the classroom. The children have been building impressive roads, towers, and houses in the classroom. It has been a wonderful way for the teachers to have conversations with the children and glimpse into their minds as they make these block structures. It's also evident how much the Chickadees have grown these last few months! There is so much more interaction socially between the children - creat-ing games and having conversations about the world around them. We are so proud of how the children are growing and look forward to exploring new topics (like Magnets) after Spring Break!

The Starlings, Alex Beers’ twos class, are noticing shapes everywhere: buttons that are circles, chairs that have squares, even the red octagons of Stop signs. Last week the class assembled a colorful shape collage with felt circles, triangles, and squares, and began their own collages with shapes in various media. They are really becoming aware of the forms that make up so many of the objects and images they see all around them. This awareness will prepare them for all kinds of sorting, pattern recognition, and adaptation to nu-ance-- all essential to their success with reading, writ-ing, math, and the world beyond the twos class.

-Susan Sporer, Preschool Director

Shalom! The conclusion of Religious School is upon us, and reflection on this past year brings to mind many wonderful memories. Our First Fridays program has been a wonderful success, with so many families raising their voices and sharing their family recipes with the community. We shook the lulav at Sukkot and volunteered at Key Food for Thanksgiving. Our Purim Carnival brought out the silliness in each of us, and our model Passover seder was a time of deep questions, class projects, and (once again) families eating to-gether. All of these events, along with the accumulated experiences of weekly learning together, have con-tributed to a rich and joyous year. Thanks to so many parents who have helped make this possible, especially our Religious School Committee, and of course, Rabbi Goodman, who has been a friend and mentor to me since last summer. Finally, I express deep-est gratitude to our teachers and stu-dents who build this community with your smiles and dedication week in and week out. Religious School will conclude with a final siyyum (conclusion) on May 20th. The entire congregation is in-vited (10:30 am) to learn from each Religious School class as the students present their final projects. As well, this will be a time for parents to ask questions about next year and to learn about exciting changes that are coming to Union Temple Religious School. It has been a delight and privilege to work in this great community over this

year. The Union Temple staff is excited to announce that a new Educator, Andy Dubin, will be joining Union Temple next year; I know that this community will embrace him as it has embraced me. Andy is a rising fifth-year rabbinical student with a PhD in Bible and extensive teaching experience at a pluralistic Jewish day school. You will be able to communicate with him the same way you’ve communicated with me: uniontempleeducator@gmail.com. Wel-come, Andy! Many blessings for a warm and happy summer and many thanks for a fruitful and enjoyable year!

It's May, and our season is winding down. It has been a terrific year--inspiring Rosh Chodesh Seders, thought-provoking book discussions, an exciting guest speaker, a stimulating museum tour. We hope that you have been with us for all our programs and that you will be with us next month for our last one of the sea-son on Sunday morning, June 3rd. We've got big plans for it, but we're not quite ready to disclose them. Intrigued? Be sure to watch this space and your mail for details. One thing we can tell you is that we'll be holding an election, and we hope that you would like to submit your name or nominate someone as an offi-cer or member of the board. Please e-mail your sug-

gestions to one of our co-presidents, Susanne Singer (ssinger423@verizon.net) or Linda Simka (lesterditz@optimum.net). You'll find that working with Sisterhood and helping us to fulfill our goal of tikkun olam is both satisfying and fulfilling.

We want to thank everyone who has contributed to our funds throughout the year. A contribution to the Sis-terhood Memorial Fund, Happy Day Fund or Rose Keit Flower Fund is a beautiful way to remember or honor a friend or loved one and to help us do our part in supporting the good works of Women of Reform Judaism throughout our nation, Israel, and the world. -Barbara Brett, Secretary

Sisterhood

Thanks for a Great Year—Let’s Plan the Next

If you thought that May meant the end of programming for this year at Union tem-ple you would be wrong. There’s still some more to look forward to. On May 20th there will be Mitzvah Day. It's a time when all temple members come to-gether to do good around the temple and Brotherhood will be at the forefront help-ing to spruce things up. We are looking forward to a great turnout.

June 3rd is the annual Brotherhood Breakfast when the omelets are on the griddle and elections will take place.
