What is the relationship between law and per-sonal feeling? The ancient accusation of Christi-anity against Judaism was that Judaism was a religion of law that subjected the human person to external categories but did not deal with the inner life, while Christianity was a religion of the heart, of love. Simplistic Christian apologetes claimed they had captured the core of Judaism without the stringencies caused by observance of the law. Simplistic Jewish apologetes claimed that by emphasizing the transfor-mation of heart and mind, Christians were placing impossible demands on human behavior. Law represented achievable and objective goals. Parashat Kedoshim offers us some hints of the relationship between the demands of law and the promptings of the heart. It is a central Bib-lical portion. It begins by telling us to be a holy people and goes on to offer what we must presume to be a sketch, if not a map, of how to achieve that holiness which is the goal of the religious life. At first, though, the map strikes us as almost unreadable and indecipherable. We are introduced to a terrible jumble of materials. There are harvest laws, and laws regarding the regulation of labor and employer. There are regulations of personal relationships and laws regarding strangers. Somehow in the midst of all this is an injunction to love one's neighbor as one's self. This is the sublimest ideal in the Bible, but quite different in character than the opening set of regulations enjoining us against extending the sacrificial meal too long. The first of the laws regulating the relationship between people occurs in v. 9 and 10, where we are told to leave a comer of the field for the stranger and the poor person. In verse 15 we are told to act justly in relationship to our fellow countryman. In verse 16 we are told not to stand idly by the blood of our neighbor, in verse 17 not to hate our brother, and then finally in verse 18, we are told to think of our fellow countryman/neighbor as ourselves. There is a progression here from stranger, the outsider who has come to join this nation, to fellow citi-zen, to neighbor, to familial relative, to self. There is an increased closeness expressed in these relationships, which finally crescendos in a demand that we see our neighbor as being so close to us that he or she is considered like our very selves. Similarly, there is a progression from being satisfied by setting aside a comer of our field for the stranger, to caring for one's workers on a daily basis, to ensuring that one cares for the dignity of people even when it makes no objective difference to them, such as not cursing them when they are out of ear-shot. Having learned to do justly, to talk honestly and to be fair in our dealings with others, we are then asked to go further: not to gossip, that is not to spread even true stories about someone if the way we tell the story is going to cause harm. What we are asked to do is to speak directly to the person if there is something that we feel needs to be said, not to harbor negative feel-ings in our hearts. Finally we are asked to love our neighbor. Law can never demand love. Judaism is a legal system but it is also a 2 religious system asking more of us than any civil law could. It teaches us about a progression of relationships, of a process of becoming holy. It begins with very carefully defined legal relationships, but it asks us to constantly move deeper, so that finally we transform all our relation-ships in fundamental ways. We begin with the stranger, but don't end there. The stranger starts out at the comer of our field. We offer him a bit of our least cherished possession. He picks up the leftovers. The relationship with the stranger is clearly defined. What we owe him is clearly delineated. And we are to end with facing another human being with a totally open heart, of seeing them like our very selves. That demand is total. It is completely open in possibility, and can never be limited by an articulated contract. We start with the most distant parts of our own realm, our furthest possession and we are asked to move inward in ever more intensified circles of demand. We are being asked to transform our relationships to others from that of stranger, to that of countryman and neighbor. To see the other person as a member of our very own family, of that of brother or sister and finally as a person exactly like ourselves - a relationship of total empathy. We cannot achieve such religious transformations overnight. We simply cannot tell ourselves to love everyone and go out and open ourselves to each stranger or even neighbor we meet. But we can see ourselves as constantly being on the way, of always trying to develop deeper and deeper relationships. We have then here an approach to a Jewish sense of the path toward holiness. It is a march; it is a walking on the way. We never have the smugness to say we have arrived, nor the equal smugness of saying the ideal is not achievable. Rather, we are asked to see ourselves on a pilgrimage. That is what it means to be part of the system of halacha. It means always to be on the way. We begin with that which is most distant with our possessions and with that which can be quantitatively formulated. We might decide to give a fixed amount to charity and help the person we have never even met, simply because that is our duty. We might begin to regulate our personal relationships so that we deal with the people around us fairly. Doing that, we become sensitized to further needs, to the demand to help heal the hurts that are not only externally visible but which are matters of the heart. We are asked to become sensitized to the ways words hurt, and to the way a caressing hand can be healing. We can leam to spend time with people in need, to give of ourselves. We move from having dedicated some of what we own to others, to dedicating ourselves to others. Ritual involves the same progress. This morning's portion begins with a rather technical admonition regarding the time in which a sacrifice must be consumed. Ritual always begins with a technical description of what needs to be done. Without fixed rules defining the ritual there would be no ritual at all. Yet if one just lingers on the level of technical proficiency then one has left off the religious life. We've all met such observant types, adept at religious ritual, who know the right thing to June 2001 A Message from Cantor Daniel Friedman The Voice of Freedom When the voice of a Jew cries out God listens, God remembers his covenant, God notices. It is Nisan, the month in which we have just celebrated Passover; the time of year we celebrate our free-dom from slavery. It is also the month within which we remember the Shoah; a not so distant time in our Jewish history when we were again slaves. Out of all this horror we are reminded of the central theme of freedom. We are reminded is and how we must not take for granted our free-dom today. This is also the time of year we remember our covenant with God and rejoice in God hearing us and taking action for our free-dom. We do not forget, or blame God but we rejoice in our free will as children-of-the-covenant, able to make free choices as a free people. But, truly, what is freedom? Many people have attempted to answer this question. Nations have been created and founded on the principle of freedom. Human kind has killed in the pursuit of freedom. I don't know if there is an answer to this question. There is certainly not a simple answer. It seems to me that it is our struggle with the question of freedom that gives us the voice of our freedom. The voice of our souls, put into our actions, filtered through our thoughts, grants us the freedom of expressing who we are as Jews. The only complication in this simple process is that our thoughts come between our soul and our actions. So we have free will to think about how, where, why, when, and what we want to do to express our souls true desire. Perhaps we should not think all these things and just simply celebrate by giving voice to our freedom. Perhaps, this month, we should rejoice as our ancestors did at the shores of the Red Sea. The first thing we did upon witnessing the wondrous power that God had wielded against the Egyptians at the crossing of the Red Sea was to sing (Exodus 15; 1). Nothing can be as horrible as being a slave to something or someone. No problem we face today can be as insurmountable as living behind barbed wire forced to labor or die. Today we are free! During this month of Nisan, we must remember how precious this freedom is. This freedom we have to simply be alive as Jews and live through our deeds, through our actions, through our choices, through our free will. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote, "A Jew is asked to take a leap of action rather than a leap of thought..." Hopefully, we don't forget we are Israelites who were once slaves in Egypt and most recently enslaved in Germany. Hopefully, we remember our covenant with God and choose to give voice to this incredible gift of freedom by taking a leap of action and living through our deeds as Jews. Thousands of years ago it was our soul's desire to be free from slavery and so we raised our voice to God, cried out with great anguish, God noticed us, the voice of a people was heard, and we were set free. Wow! To me, this month of Nisan, that includes the holy week of Passover and the Shoah Remembrance, is a time when we can exert our free will and, through our actions, our deeds, thank and exalt God for the miracle of our freedom. For, let us not forget that it is God that "with a strong hand and an outstretched arm" brought us forth to free-dom. God alone, and "not by a ministering angel, not by a fiery angel, and not by a messenger, but by himself, in his glory." It is the month of Nisan, a time to commemorate through our actions and give voice to our freedom. A time to sing with great exaltation from our hearts as our ancestors did thousands of years ago. A time to celebrate, to strive to make our lives "a song every day," as Rabbi Akiba offered to his disciples. A time to give voice to our freedom through the Passover melodies, "Go Down Moses," "Adir Hu," "Echad Mi Yodeyah," "Ki Lo Naeh, Ki Lo Yaeh" and "Dayeinu." It is a time to push to overcome our personal issues of enslavement and remember, rejoice and rejuvenate our souls. B'shalom. of how precious life Rabbi's message continued... do so well that they always make you feel inferior, that your offering is just not good enough. They've stopped understanding holiness as a process of transformation and are satisfied to understand Judaism as law. They make the minyan into a realm of strangers and Judaism itself becomes thereby estranged. The demand of holiness is to enter into the ritual so that it becomes a moment when the heart is effected. The moment of bringing the sacrifice must have been one of great religious intensity. The intensity begins to dissipate as one moves further and further away in time. The Biblical author wanted to insure that the Temple supplicant did not forget the power of the act in which he had participated. June 2001 It would be wrong to see the demand of Judaism as being only legalistic, but it would be equally wrong to see it as only a matter of the promptings of one's heart. We begin with our estrangement and we seek to open our hearts to greater and greater demand. We do this first by submitting ourselves to a command that speaks to us from the outside, but what we increasingly move towards is the transformation that takes place within us. And the process is always ongoing; it involves us in endless cycles. There is always another stranger waiting at the comer of the field, and frequently those we thought we knew so well can seem like strangers all over again. What is asked of us is that we always be on the way, that we see our lives as a movement towards a closer approximation of the ideal. What today's portion teaches is that holiness is a verb, not a noun. 3 A Message from Women's League Blanche Meisel The Women's League of Temple Beth Sholom has a long and illustrious history. With heart and hand the women have performed many labors of love and devotion for the benefit of the entire congregation. They have planned with vision and put action into their dreams. They made Temple Beth Sholom become a "home" and "family" for the members. They pioneered the Jewish spirit in a new town in the desert wilderness where so many have come to follow their dreams. The children had a place for their Jewish education; they created a shop so one could buy holiday and ritual items; the Oneg Shabbat and Kiddush became weekly festive gatherings, and everyone felt at home. The Sisterhood women fostered Jewish education and holiday events. They studied, they learned, they taught and they shared. And they grew with the times, accepting the challenges of a fast changing society and a world growing smaller. We here today are grateful for all they have accomplished. I am proud to have been chosen to lead the Women's League for the next term. I pledge the same devotion that those before me have shown. Hopefully, we will open new doors in servicing our Temple's needs in our new home. We plan for a time of self-discovery of increasing our knowledge and of cooperation in Jewish endeavors. We invite every woman at Temple Beth Sholom to join with us. To All Members of Temple Beth Sholom, Midbar Kodesh and their Friends As chairman of King David Memorial Chapel and Cemetery, I wish to convey a few thoughts concerning the group of men who comprise the Chevra Kadisha and perform the Tahara when needed. I have personally viewed the Tahara performed by these gentlemen and the care given to the deceased is with total dignity and compassion. These men should be commended for the careful task they have to perform. They do realize it is a mitzvah to perform Tahara, and King David is honored and proud to have such caring individuals to be a part of the Men's Club, these organiza-tions should also be proud of the number of the members who sacrifice their time to participate in this endeavor. From a very grateful staff at King David: Allen Brewster, chairman Jay Poster, General Manager Sue Russell, Office Manager IMPORTANT NOTICE In order to insure future bulletins, it must be kept to 12 pages.
