PROGRAM DIRECTOR

The Central Kentucky Jewish Federation is pleased to
welcome the newest member of our staff. On August 22, Kathy
Grossman began her duties as Program Director.

Kathy, who originated from southern Californian,
transplanted to the Midwest in her adulthood. She attendedtlie
University of Notre Dame, where she received her MBA. This was
accomplished after her husband, Michael, received his law degree.
The Catholic atmosphere of the university was comfortable to her,
since Kathy has always been interested in religions. She carries
this ecumenical approach with her in her job as Program Director.

"Thepeoplewewillbesewidngmeﬁanallla’ndsof

lifestyles and interests. What holds us together is that we all
identify as Jews. Ithink the variety ofoutloola is terriﬁc, midI
wouldn't have it any other way."

Kathy is a past president of the Lexington Chapter of
Hadassah and past president of the Lexington Havurah. She is
active in Ohavayv Zion Synagogue, where all three of her children
attend Hebrew School. Her volunteer work has acquainted her with —
many of the members of the Lexington Jewish community and has
taught her the "hands on" skills of event planning and consensus
building that were only theories in the graduate school of business.

E TORAH
THIS MONTH

By Rabbi Jon Adland

Torah Portions for
October, 1994

BERESHIT
October 1/26 Tishri
Genesis 1:1-6z8

This ﬁrst portion begins
with the two different stories of
creation. In the ﬁrst chapter of
Genesis, after the ﬁrst ﬁve days
of creation when God created
light, sky, earth, seas, vegetation
of all kinds. moon, sun, and
stars, birds, reptiles and all
kinds of animals, God created
Man and Woman last. God
created Man and Woman
together. God created them in
the image of God. The second
chapter of Genesis begins with

at as, God roots of all the
’ lief creation.

In the second chapter
Manis created ﬁrst with Woman
being created from Man's rib
later in the story. After Man is
created, God plants a garden in
Eden. God plants Man alone in
the garden. God causes nature
to begin. In the middle of the
garden are the trees of life and
knowledge. Later, God realizes
it is not good for Man to be alone
and Woman is created from ‘his
rib. The two creation stories are
different and teach varyingideas
about God.

Chapter 3 is known as
the "Garden of Eden" story. As
a result of eating from the fruit
of the tree of good and bad, Man
and Woman become aware of
themselves and their bodies.
Because God speciﬁcally said not
to eat of this tree, Man and
Woman are exiled from the
Garden forever.

The next chapter gves
us the story of Cain and Abel.
Cain, jealous of his brother's
relationship with God, murders

Abel and is punished by God.
Cain is marked and sent
roaming the world forever.
After a long genealogy
in chapter 5, the portion
concludes with Noah’s birth.

NOAH
Odober 8/3 Cheshvan
Genesis 6:941:32

Noah's story is well;

known to almost every adult and
child. Noah is commanded by
God to build an ark to save
himself and his family from the
impending ﬂood that God will
bring down on the earth. God
says that the ﬂood will put an
end to all ﬂesh that had
corrupted its ways on the earth.

The story at this point
seems to be two intertwined
tales. In one tale. Noah is
commanded to take a pair of
every animal on earth onto the
ark and in the other story Noah
is commanded to take seven
pairs of clean animals and one
pair of unclean animals.

After a long period of
rain, either 40 days in one tale
or 150 days in the other, the
waters begin to subside. With
the help of a dove, Noah
determines that dry land is once
again appearing. The ark lands
on Mt. Ararat and Noah comes
out of the ark, builds an altar
and makes an offering to God of
one of every clean animal.

God promises Noah
never to do this again to bring a
ﬂood on the earth to destroy
humankind. God then makes a
covenant with Noah. The
rainbow serves as the sign of the
covenant.

The portion concludes
with the story of the "Tower of
Babel." This tale explains how
people were spread throughout
the world and why many
languages exist. People were
trying to build a tower to God.
“hell they got too ClOSt' God
confused their speech which
ended their ability to cooperate
on the project.

The ﬁnal verse of the
portion mentions the death of
Terah. Abram's father. '

LECH L'CHA
anber 15/10 Cheshvan
Genesis l2:1-17:27

Lech L’cha begins with
the God's command to Abram to
leave his native land and
father's house and go to the land
that God will show him. God
promises to make a great nation
and great name of Abram, and
God will bless him. Abram with
his wife Sarai set forth on the
journey to Canaan.

As do his son and
grandson and great-grandson,
Abram journeys to Egypt. He
makes this journey because of a
drought in the land of Canaan.
When entering Egypt, Abram
instructs Sarai to say that she is
his sister. If she says that she is
his Wife, then the Egyptians will
kill him and take her for
themselves. Pharaoh takes
Sarai into his household and he
is inﬂicted with plagues.
Pharaoh sends for Abram and
asks him what he has done,
Abram explains that Sarai is his
wife. Pharaoh tells his men‘ to
send Abram, Sarai and all their
possessions away from Egypt.

Another important part
of this portion is Hagar's, Sarai's
maidservant, pregnancy by
Abram. Though it was Sarai's
decision for Abram and Hagar to
have a child together. Sarai was
unable to conceive, Sarai was
angry and she treats Hagar very
harshly. Hagar runs away from
Sarai. An angel of God ﬁnds her
in the desert. orders her to
return to Sarai. but then says
that he will increase her
offspring. that she will have a
son and name him Ishmael, that
he will be a "wild-ass of a man".
and that he shall dwell alongside
of all his kinsmen.

Finally, in the last
chapter of this portion Sarai is
told that she will become
pregnant. When Sarah heard
that he was to become pregnant,
she laughed and said, "Can a
child be born to a man a
hundred years old, or can Sarah
bear a child at ninety?" (Isaac's
name means "He will laugh")

In this chapter. God
changes Abram's name to
Abraham and Sarai becomes
Sarah. God restates his
covenant with Abraham and
adds that the sign of this
covenant will be the circumcision
of every male child on the 8th
days of life. God says that he
will bless Ishmael, but God‘s
covenant will be with Isaac.
Abraham circumcised himself.
Ishmael at the age of 13, and
every male in his household.

VAYERA
October 22/17 Cheshvan
Genesis 18:1-22:24

The next portion for
October contains four sections.
The ﬁrst concludes the story of
Sarah's pregnancy when three
men (angels) come to Abraham's
home announcing the upcoming
event.

The chapter continues
with the men leaving Abraham‘s
home and looking down toward
Sodom. The story then switches
to one of the most important
moments in Torah when

Abraham argues and bargains ‘

with God on behalf of the
corrupt population of Sodom. He
is looking to save the city if 10
righteous people can be found.
Unfortunately, there aren‘t even
10 righteous people in the
community of Sodom so two of
the angels try to rescue the few
who aren't corrupt: Lot and his

family. The story has
tremendous overtones and
subplots that can not be

summarized in a few words.
Suffice it to say that not
everyone looks out for the
interests of others.

In chapter 20 Sarah
gives birth to Isaac who is
circumcised on the 8th days of
his life. A short time later
Sarah forces Hagar and Ishmael
to leave her home. Abraham
tries to supply them With

enough food and water. but after
wandering around in the
Wilderness .Of Beer Sheba she
sits down asking God not to let
her watch her child die. God
intervenes and saves them.

The final chapter is
known as the Akedah - the
binding of Isaac. There is no
simple way to understand this
chapter about a father
commanded to sacriﬁce his son
as a sign of an act of faith to
God. Abraham. the father.
follows through with the request
only to be stopped at the final
moment by an angel of God. It
is hard to know what each of the
main characters was thinking.
It is hard to know if Abraham
would have followed through if
not stopped. It is hard to
understand why God tested
Abraham if such a fashion. The
chapter must be read. reread.
pondered. studied. and then
started all over again.

CHAYE SARAH
October 29/24 Cheshvan
Genesis 23: l-25:18

Chaye Sarah literally
means the life of Sarah,
Abraham’s wife. In this
instance, it signals the end of
Sarah’s life as chapter 25 of
Genesis opens vsith her death at
the age of 127. Abraham
immediately recognizes the need
to bury his dead and attempts to
arrange the purchase of land"
from llittitcs who livr‘ Whore
negotiation
ensues between Ephron of Zohar
and Abraham to purchase the
land. After a glimpse into the
ways that people behaved at the

time of a signﬁcant sale.
Abraham buys the land which
includes the Cave of the
Machpelah where he buries
Sarah. The cave in llebron is a
holy site to both Moslems and
Jews until today.

The remaining part of
the portion is the story of
Eliezer. Abraham’s servant’s
journey to Aram-Naharaim, to
the city of Nahor to find a bride
for Isaac. Eliezer needed to
journey to this place as Abraham
insisted that Isaac‘s bride
needed to be from a people other
than the Canaanites. In Nahor
lived family members where a
more suitable bride could be
found.

5.1!.in lwtl .\

The story tells us about
Eliezer meeting Rebecca, the
daughter of Bethuel, the son of
Milcah the wife of Abraham’s
brother Nahor, at a well.
Rebecca’s kindness is evident in
the way she treats the servant
and his animals. Rebecca, after
this meeting, runs to tell Laban
about Eliezer who comes to the
house and recounts his journey
and its purpose. After some
discussion. Rebecca decides to
leave Aram—Naharaim and travel
to Canaan to meet and marry
Isaac.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS

Dangerous Gamble
by Ze'ev Parker, 'Al Harlthmf

There is no smoke without fire. The numerous published
reports about movement in the negotiations with Syria must,
apparently, contain some truth. The strange obstinacy over who will
utter their magic words ﬁrst-Syria's 'warm peace,’ or Israel's
'withdrawal from the Golan'--has ended. The words have been said.
US Secretary of State Christopher will soon come to Israel for a last
push toward a settlement.

Rabin may soon have to keep his promise to hold a
referendum on the Golan. A referendum is a dangerous gamble. This
is walking on an extremely thin tight-rope--and not just a plebescite
on peace with Syria. This is a referendum on the continued existence
of the Government, two years before its term ends. If the referendum
ends in failure and the Government's proposal is not accepted, it will
not be able to continue in power and will be forced to call elections.
Mid-term elections--at a time when peace settlements have yet to be
fully implemented with the Palestinians, Jordan and the Arab
countries, which are prepared to sign commercial agreements before
diplomatic relations are established-would be a gamble for the entire
pot.

It is doubtful whether the existential risk to the Government,
with all its implications, is worth an accord with Syria. If the
Government falls. the accord with Syria will collapse as well. To most

ofthose who support withdrawing from the Golan to the international
border. the Sea ofG alilce, it appears that most ofthe nation would
support such a course of action-4n e)“ hange for peace with Syria and
Lebanon. Were a compromise on the Golan Heights involved, be it
even large and painful, they might. have been correct. But conceding
the entire Golan Heights is something different. One cannot compare
laza and Jericho, or even Hebron and the Tomb of the
Patriarchs--and certainly not Nablus and Jenin» --to the western
section ofthe (lolan Heights, the settlements, and the Sea of Galilee
coastline. For many years, since even before the outbreak of the
intifada, no Israeli hiker has stepped foot in Judea, Samaria or Gaza.
Most Jews have distanced themselves from these areas. The

WOODLAND

Man Foreign Minister al-Shara—on an immediate and ﬁnal decision
on a withdrawal from the Golan, and its implementation within one
or two years--a referendum is necessary now.

Herein lies the gamble and the danger. If al-Shara is correct,
and Rabin does indeed call a referendum, the Israeli prime minister
is likely to repeat his 1977 exercise. In 1977, after having done battle
with the NRP, he went to elections-confident that victory was
his--and Israel paid for this with fifteen years of Likud rule.

Peace with Syria and Lebanon is important and necessary,
but not at the risk of peace with the Palestinians and other Arab
countries. This is what would happen if the right-wing were to come
to power. Syria is alone today, and represents no existential threat
to Israel. Nor can it be assumed that the conﬂict (bitter as it may be)
over a 1,200 square kilometer patch of land--as al-Shara said, trying
to diminish the signiﬁcance of the matter, in comparison to the
Sinai--the larger part of which Israel is prepared to return, represents
a pretext for war. It also cannot be assumed that the Palestinians,
Jordan. Morocco and other Arab countries that have a serious interest
in relations with Israel will concede their interest because a peace
accord has not been signed with Wria. The danger does not lie here.

Syria is waging an indirect war against Israel. It is
encouraging the Lebanese government to allow Hizballah to wage its
war. Moreover, it is not entirely incorrect that Syria supports
Hizballah's long arm in its attacks against Diaspora Jewry. ln
Lebanon, a war of trenches and patrols is in process, costing us the
best of our sons. This war is mildly reminiscent of the war of trenches
and patrols waged in the latter part of World War I. Erich Maria
Remarque ended his famous book on this trench war. ﬂ QM on ﬁle
West Front. with these words: 'He fell in October 1918, on the day
which was so silent and quiet on the entire front, that the military
report was reduced to a single sentence-All quiet on the Western
Front.‘

Our soldiers in Lebanon are falling in outposts and while out
on patrol, without anything new happening. There is no military
breakthrough, and there can be no political breakthrough, without a
peace agreement with Syria. Have we really fallen into a trap that
has no way out, without accepting Syrian diktat for regarding the
peace talks and their results?

The ( )slo precedent needs to guide Rabin and his government

Vienna's
New Jewish
Museum

On November 18, 1993,
the permanent residence of the
Jewish Museum of the City of
Vienna opened its doors in an
old mansion in Dorotheergasse
11 in Vienna's ﬁrst district:
While the newly opened Jewish
Museum of the City of Vienna
continues in the traditions
established by the ﬁrst Jewish
Museum worldwide, which was
opened in Vienna in 1897 and
was the ﬁrst of its kind in
Europe. The ﬁrst museum had
many articles made for its
exhibits and was famous for its
diverse exhibitions. When the
Nazis annexed Austria in 1938,
they closed the museum. The
new Jewish Museum will depart
from the example set by its
predecessor by not limiting
itself to purely Jewish culture
and history; rather, it will
attempt to introduce the visitor
. to the history of Jewish-Gentile
relations in Austria and Europe
in both their splendor and
tragedy. The idea is to stay
away from presenting the
history and culture of Austrian
Jewry as “ an isolated

Top Government Oﬁcials
Meet to Discuss
Palestinian Elections

AL HAMISHMAR reports
that several government officials
believe that elections in the
territories could take place within
the next four to ﬁve months. Their
estimate stems from a special
meeting on the issue which
included Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin, Ministers Shimon Peres,
Moshe Shahal and Yossi Sarid, IDF
Chief of Staﬂ' Ehud Barak and other
senior IDF ofﬁcers. The group
discussed current constraints on
holding elections and contradictions
between provisions for elections in
the Declaration of Principles and a
recent Palestinian proposal on the
issue. Israel Radio, KOL YISRAEL,
reports that sources in the
Palestinian Authority believe it will
be difficult to hold elections for the
Palestinian council by the end of
this year. Palestinian Authority
Member in charge of elections Saeb
Arekat said he believes a November
target date for elections is not
practical.

Lebanon Willing to Begin
Substantive Talks with Israel

AHARONOT
reports that the Lebanese
government has expressed its
willingness to begin substantive
negotiations with Israel, modeled
on the Israeli-Jordanian talks,
aimed at ending the conﬂict
between the two countries. Israel
reportedly received these messages
from officials in the Lebanese
government and from direct
contacts in Europe between Israeli
and Lebanese representatives.
According to the newspaper, the
Lebanese messages came in
response to an Israeli offer
presented by Uri Lubrani, the head
of the Israeli delegation to the talks
with Lebanon. The Lebanese
proposal calls for the two countries
to negotiate Israel's withdrawal
from southern Lebanon and full
normalization between the two
countries. In addition, the
Lebanese proposal reportedly says
that an Israeli-Lebanese agreement
would not be concluded until an
Israeli-Syria accord is worked out.

Rabin: Russia Should
Coordinate its Mid—East Peace
Initiatives with the U.S.

AL HAMISHMAR reports
that special Russian envoy to the
Middle East, Victor Pcsavaluk, met
with Deputy Foreign Minister Yossi
Beilin and said that Russia wants
to be an active partner in the
negotiations on all issues relating
to Jerusalem. Israel Radio reports
that Foreign Minister Shimon Peres
responded to the request, saying
Israel is not willing to put the issue
of Jerusalem on "the international
negotiating table." Peres added
that "the subject of Jerusalem is
closed politically, if the Russian
church has any requests or
expectations Israel is willing to
listen, just as Israel listens to
requests from the Catholic church."
AL HAMISHMAR said that Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin expressed
his displeasure with Russian efforts
to bring new initiatives to the peace
talks and made clear to the Russian
envoy that Russia should
coordinate its approach with the
United States. Israel Radio, KOL
YISRAEL reports that Posuvaluk
met with Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres and pledged that Russia will
use its good connections with
Damascus to promote the
