…the colorful, even gaudy yarmulkes being worn by young yeshiva bochers in New York and the mini-storm of controversy they have caused. A great deal of thought is being given to the redesign of the synagogue. I’d like to spend a few minutes trying to define the emotional and physical qualities that I think that BEKI congregants might seek in a beautiful sanctuary. The sanctuary’s design should first and foremost be respectful of the BEKI aesthetic…
…unity of their choice. During 1996-1997, LaMaazel was supported by the Gateways Outreach Project of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in an effort to welcome interfaith families into the Congregation and by Congregation Beth El-Keser Israel.

You received a form a week or two ago asking you what kind of help you’re willing to give and whether you’re willing to pitch in occasionally or on a regular basis. Please fill that form in and send it to the office. Or pick up a new copy, available in the lobby. If you would like some help…
…g to do is to praise a righteous person, because the language of praise is cheap and formulaic. Suffice it to say that if the best way to teach is by example, Ruthie is the greatest teacher I know of emuna, of hesed, and of avoda — of faith, of steadfast love, of the holy work of worship. Without any irony, I can say that she is truly a giant. Which brings us back to the place we started, the theme of sacrifice. When our ancestors gave the first f…

My dad waited near the bottom, not wishing to add to the eighty-one years of wear on his knee. We spent a good deal of time at Qibbutz Yizra’el and in New Haven’s sister-city Afula. We went from one end of the country to the other, from Majdal Shams in the far north, to Acco in the west (not really far), to Eilat in the south. Israel is sma…
