RABBI’S MESSAGE

When a tragedy occurs like the one at the Coliseum in Cincinnati _
where eleven persons were ”trampled' to death - our curiosity is raised
to its keenest level. how did such a thing happen? Who's to blame?
Could it have been prevented? And as we pursue an answer to our cues‘
tions, we assume the robe of an obiective onlooker; we want facts, only
facts. All the while we hold at arms length our feelings about what
happened there, our feeling of sorrow for the eleven and their families;
our disgust and abhorrence that a mob of human beings ”stampeded" to
death eleven of their kind.

In the formal investigations being carried out in Cincinnati, several
culprits have been fingered. We hear that the plan called Festival
Seating, where the first to enter get the best seats, is to blame.
Everyone was a victim of this plan. Another culprit is the music group.
They b.ere late to practice, so the doors were kept closed longer than
usual. A third is the guard detail which wouldn t lend a hand even once
they saw what was happening. Then, we can blame the drugs and alcohol.
Also, we find that the stadium authority is to blame, for they did not
order the opening of enough doors. Finally, even the doors themselves
have been blamed — as if they should have had some magical poxer to see
the catastrophe, and respond to it.

The absurdity of our detective work should be apparent. Nowhere do
we accuse the Erovd for the tragedy. In fact we seem to search for ways
of giving the crowd the right to do what it did. In the end, we blame
it on inanimate objects — the doors.

The lesson of the Coliseum tragedy begs to be heard. There is such a
thing as group responsibility. None of us functions solely as an indi
vidual. We are all a part of a larger grou1. This means that we are
responsible not only to ourselves, but also to those around us.

The Coliseum tragedy tells us something about ourselves. In the
crowd, each terson was only concerned about his/her own seat. No one
saw that the entire group had a problem. They lacked the capacity to
respond in a positive way to the group's dilemma. They had lost all
civility.

lf we are to affix blame oroperlv= we will blame the people in the
crowd. Every individual is responsible for what happened that evening.
We should remember that as Y6 climb into our automobiles and cruise out
onto the hightay.

SISTERHOOD NOTES

YAHEL is the first Pibbutz established under the znspices of Progres-
sive Judaism. Dedicated November l97b, it is in the Arava, 40 kilo-
meters north of Eilat. The young settlers came from Israel and many
lands, their common bond a commitment to Progressive Judaism, the
land and destiny of Israel.

i‘M'AYAN BANIDHAR ~ Sl’RINC l.\' 'l‘lil' lll‘iSllRT - is the poetic title of the
NFTS lsrael project to build a study center with living facilities,
multipurpose rooms for Study, library, recreational, cultural and
worship facilities. The renter will primarily serve high school and
college age young people as well as adults of Reform Progressive

and liberal Jewish communities througoout the world who will visit and
be in residence at Kibhutz Yahel. Members of the Kihbutz will also
use the facilities.

Adath Israel Sisterhood is listed as a BTlIDER in the 32nd Biennial
book of Honors. We have contributed $600 towards the erection of the
study center, making YUP a vital part of Kibhutz Yahel.

Come to the first meeting of the new year and thrill to the film
presentation of Kibbutz Yahel. We will also have a resource person
on hand to answer questions and bring us the latest information.

36mm THE CDESK OF THE CDABBI

Books. We live in an age which some have called the Hpost-literate' age.

Tadio, television, phonographs, tape recorders and video taperecorders
are replacing the written word as our principle means of communication.
We now prefer images and sounds to in? on 1 page. it might seem fttﬂﬂﬁv,
therefore, t the (entral Conferenge of \rericun Rabbis should be en—

tering a period of renewed puhljshing. *,~, can me make of this

In the past few years, three new prayerbooks, {MO guides to Jewish
living, and a Passover hagaddah have been publi~hed by the CLAR Press.
These books, which are specifically meant for Reform Congregational use,
have found wide acceptance. Not onlv is the style of writing easy to tol—
low, but the thoughts and the feelings expressed make sense to many con—
gregations. The nrayerbooks we use form the nucleus of this publishing
effort.

The People of the Book. This name has been given to us, and we have
accepted it. For centuries, Jews have given their lives for believinn in
a Certain God, whose revelation is found in th Torah. During those same
centuries, many Jews studied the Talmud - it was the center pole of Jew—
ish communal life. In our time, the only book which is considered is our
prayerbook. In a sense, the Friday Service is iur only chance to see and
read hehrew. We also find instruction in Jewish feelings towards and
knowledge of Cod. Our prayers help us attain our highest pursuits.

A way to understand more about Judaism is to read more about it. Fur
books are still our greatest source of knowledge. One of the books re—
cently published by the CCAR Press is the Gates of Ynderstanding. In this
book there are many explanations of the whys—ahdﬁfTerefores of_ﬁeform
liturgy. Leading contemporary Scholars have contributed to this volume
important essays — essays meant to enlighten the congregation. This
book, along with the other new publications, is available through the
Temple. Even in this electronic age, if you want to know more about
Judaism, one of the easiest ways to do so is to read — books.

Youth Group
ACTIVITIES

TYG had its first meeting of
1980 on Sunday, January 13. The
program was an exercise in values
clarification. One of the exercises
included putting the group in 3
different situations and each indi—
vidual was forced to pick 6 persons
out of 10 that would survive. There
were no right or wrong answers. It
was personal opinion only.

Some new business discussed was
the Intercity coming up in February.
This conclave will be held in Nash»
ville, Tenn. Other cities partici—
pating are Huntington and Knoxville.
For those of you needing an appli—
cation, please call Leslie Cuttman
at 269—2648. These applications
must be returned to Leslie by
February 2. Youth Croup also re-
ceived information concerning the
2 Russian families coming to Lex—
ington in April. We are willing to
help these families adjust to their
new home.

Missy Mandelbaum, our president,
will be returning from Israel on
January 17. We also welcome a
new member to TYC — Lisa Campbell
who is a freshman.

Rabbi-”s Message

Hebrew is one of the most difficult subjects to teach in the Religious
School. Students cannot see the importance of knOWing Hebrew. It is
viewed as a boring and irrelevant subject. The students may ask how
Hebrew relates to our lives or who would care if we do not know any
hebrew. When we try to answer them, we usually say something about the
prayerbook - that the prayers are written in Hebrew. We tell them they
must know Hebrew so they can read the prayers, and thus be more authentic—
ally Jewish. We tell them that the Torah is written in Hebrew and they
must learn Hebrew so they can read from the Torah. Or, we may try to
convince them using the argument that in Israel everyone speaks Hebrew.
What if they should want to go to Israel someday! If another argument
is needed, we tell them that hebrew is the language of our most ancient
ancestors. Therefore, each generation must learn it and teach it to the
next generation. Finally, we could say that any well educated person
should know Hebrew, for it is one of the richest traditions we have in
our possession.

But, the students look at us the way we might have looked at our own
teachers — with great doubt in their eyes. They just do not believe
what we are saying. Hebrew, for them, is an obstacle to get around.
The joy of their bar/bat mitzvah ceremony may be the exception to this
rule.

We cannot blame the kids. They are smarter than we might think. They
look around at the adults and ask — do they know Hebrew? Will they Show
us how they can read the prayers in Hebrew? Why do we need to know it if
they do not know it? Their point is well taken.

There are many ways to improve our knowledge of Hebrew. One is to
sign up for a Hebrew class at the Temple. The easiest might be to work
with the kids when they bring lessons home from Religious School.
