2 Volume 71, No. 3 November 2018 Temple Beth El Page 2 MESSAGE FROM RABBI DANIELA Thinker who has influenced me: Judith Plaskow B H On Mon- day, October 15 th there was an Inter-Synagogue Adult Education Program at Congregation Shaarai Shomayim where the rabbis of the three Jewish congregations in Lancaster, Degel Israel, Shaarai Shomayim and Temple Beth El, each gave a talk about a thinker who has influenced them. Rabbi Abrohom Notis talked about Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, Rabbi Paskoff about Eugene Borowitz, Rabbi Rami Pavolotzky about Maimonides (Rambam) and I, about Judith Plaskow. The program was well attended, and it was a nice opportunity to meet with congregants from different congregations and study about important Jewish thinkers. In this note, I would like to share with you some points that I highlighted during my talk. I chose Judith Plaskow because her thoughts have influenced me. Why? First of all, if you don t know who Judith Plaskow is, I will share with you some biographical points. Judith Plaskow is the first Jewish feminist to identify herself as a theologian. Plaskow created a distinctively Jewish theology acutely conscious of its own structure and categories and in dialogue with the feminist theologies of other religions. Judith Plaskow was born in Brooklyn on March 14, Plaskow received her B.A. from Clark University, magna cum laude, in 1968, and did her graduate work at Yale Divinity School where in 1975 she produced a doctoral thesis later published as Sex, Sin, and Grace: Women s Experience and the Theologies of Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich. At Yale Plaskow became interested in feminism when she joined the Yale Women s Alliance. She quickly applied feminism, not only to her dissertation but to institution-building. She was co-chair of the fledgling Women and Religion Group of the American Academy of Religion from and was a member of its steering committee once it became known as the Women and Religion Section. She was a co-founder of the pioneering Jewish feminist group B not Esh (1981). She was co-founder of the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion and served as co-editor from Ultimately, she served two terms as Associate Director of the American Academy of Religion ( and ), a term as Vice President ( ), as President-Elect and as President ( and l ) of that august institution. From 1976 to 1979, Plaskow was an assistant professor of religion at Wichita State University in Kansas. From 1979 to the present she has taught at Manhattan College in New York, rising from assistant to associate ( ) to full professor (1990). Plaskow s theology has had a profound effect on Jewish women s theological conversations in every decade since the 1970s. Both in the Jewish and the non-jewish worlds, she is the best known Jewish feminist theologian. (Extracts from Rachel Adler s article in Jewish Women s Archive) Now, why did I choose Judith Plaskow as the thinker who has influenced me? I will share with you some points from my history. I grew up in Buenos Aires (Argentina) in an egalitarian conservative synagogue where women have been counted for Mynian, they have used Tallit for services, have had Bat Mitzvahs, have read form the Torah, etc. I studied Rabbinical Studies in The Seminario (Conservative Seminary) in Buenos Aires. The first female rabbi was ordained in I was always very proud to have the same Jewish rights and access to Jewish rituals as men, knowing that this was not possible in earlier times. One of the requirements of the Seminario s Rabbinical Program is to study in Israel during your final year. When we were in Israel, studying at Machon Shechter (Conservative Institute), I discovered a new world that I had not known before. I discovered the world of Jewish Women s studies. So, I took many courses in that field. I took courses about Torah, Midrash, Halacha, theology and history from a Jewish feminist perspective. I was very excited to discover all the research, books and articles in that field. I read Judith Plaskow and other authors. While reading her book Standing again at Sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective, I realized that Jewish Women have the privilege to have equal access to Jewish rituals, but that is not enough. It is necessary to be aware of the androcen- (Continued on page 3)
3 Volume 71, No. 3 November 2018 (Continued from page 2) trism, the focus on men, of the Jewish tradition and look for ways to rediscover Jewish Women s voices and experiences. So, Judith Plaskow and many other Jewish feminist authors have influenced my thinking. I did most of my final projects about Jewish feminism, and in my rabbinate, I usually include this perspective in my sermons, articles, courses, etc. It is a very important part of my life. Now, I would like to share with you some of Judith Plaskow s thoughts: In her famous book Standing again at Sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective she tries to discuss important Jewish theological concepts like Torah, Israel, God and Sexuality, from a feminist perspective. She states that the first step is to be aware that Judaism is a patriarchal tradition and its sacred texts are androcentric (focus on man). Judith Plaskow affirms: The central Jewish categories of Torah, Israel, and God all are constructed from male perspectives. Torah is revelation as men perceived it, the story of Israel told from their stand point, the law unfolded according to their needs. Israel is the male collectivity, the children of a Jacob who had a daughter, but whose sons became the twelve tribes. God is named in the male image, a father and warrior much like his male offspring, who confirms and sanctifies the silence the parameters of women s silence. (Standing again at Sinai, page 3) In addition, she thinks that a Jewish Feminist perspective should begin with noting the absence of women s history and experiences as shaping forces in the Jewish tradition: Half of Jews have been women, but men have been defined as normative Jews, while women s voices and experiences are largely invisible in Temple Beth El the record of Jewish belief and experience that has come down to us. (Idem., page 1) Plaskow believes that only the deliberate recovery of women s hidden voices can give us Jewish teachings that are the product of the whole Jewish people and that reflect more fully their experiences with God. She proposes to have a dual and paradoxical relationship with the Jewish texts. On the one hand, she assumes that they are patriarchal. On the other hand, she tries to discover new understandings and tries to find women s hidden voices. Throughout her book she emphasizes the need for a Jewish Feminist Theology in order to have a new understanding of the categories of Torah, Israel, God and Sexuality. During my session, we had the opportunity to talk about current examples of new understandings of the tradition from a feminist perspective such as the Women s Seder where we have introduced Miriam s cup and the orange in the Seder, new approaches to the Mikveh, Jewish Women s Studies, Rosh Chodesh Meetings, Women s Torah Commentaries, Studies of Female characters in the Bible, etc. At the end of my class, I showed a video of an interesting talk Judith Plaskow gave in 2002 about the beginning of her inspiring career. If you are interested in watching it, go to this link: v=d1sk5sg0ons Religion and the Feminist Movement Conference - Panel II: Judith Plaskow, I hope through this note or through my class on October 15th (if you were able to attend it) that you had the chance to learn a little bit more about a very important and inspiring contemporary Jewish thinker.

4 Volume 71, No. 3 November 2018 Temple Beth El Page 4 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Ehrlich Gary Kogon Dave We are very fortunate to have a dedicated core group of people who volunteer their time and energy to serve on the Temple Beth El Board as well as on Temple committees. It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for us to offer the diversity of programs and activities that we do throughout the year were it not for our Board and committees, working both in conjunction with Rabbi Daniela and Rabbi Rami as well as independently. As we mentioned during the President s Address on Kol Nidre, a number of our volunteers have been very involved in Temple committee/board life for quite some time. We need new people to become committee members and Board members. We also need people who would be willing to serve in an officer position on the Board. The development of new leaders to guide Temple Beth El into the future is of critical importance. It is not practical to expect our current leadership to continue indefinitely. It s also well known that new members of boards and committees, no matter what the setting, bring fresh energy as well as new perspectives and thinking. The infusion of new thoughts, ideas, energy, etc. is imperative for any organization to survive and thrive. What are the qualifications to join the Board and/or committee? A willingness to devote some time and energy to serving as a leader or committee member of your Temple. A desire to see your Temple survive, grow and be a vibrant home for Conservative Judaism in Lancaster County. No special skills, training, knowledge, etc. is required. The key is the desire to become involved, whether for the first time, an encore performance or, if currently involved, to perhaps consider becoming a bit more involved in leading and guiding Temple Beth El in the months and years ahead. Getting started on this journey is very easy. Contact one of the Co- Presidents and we d be glad to speak with you and answer any questions you might have. Please strongly consider taking that first step NOW and contact either Dave, Gary or both of us NOW. PRINCIPALS MESSAGE After so much thinking and planning during last spring and summer, it is incredible to write that it has been more than a month since we started classes last September. The first month was full of learning time and friendship, and also good programs. During the month of October, we shared two field trips with the other two congregations in town. These field trips were fully funded by JCAL (Jewish Community Alliance of Lancaster), and we are really grateful to them for their support. On October 21, Tzedek class (Kindergarten to 4 th grade) went to Zoo America in Hershey and learned about the animals and their Hebrew names. On October 28 th, Mitzvah and the Hebrew High class (5 th grade to High School) visited Ellis Island in New York and learned about the Jewish immigration to America. These were great programs for our children! We also continued with our monthly Shabbat programs, Tot Shabbat and Jr. Congregation. Both programs run from 11 am to 12 pm, usually at the end of each month. Tot Shabbat is for children up to 7 years old and is led by Rabbi Daniela Szuster; Jr. Congregation is for children from 3 rd grade to Bar/Bat Mitzvah and is led by Samara Sofian. In November we will have these two programs early in the month, on Saturday the 17 th, because of Thanksgiving. We want to thank all of those who donated to the Religious School during the HaKaFoT-A-Thon this year. We greatly appreciate your help and support for Jewish Education. Todah Rabah! As a preview of what is coming up during November, we would like to highlight the Shabbat dinner for Religious School students and families on Friday, November 9 th. We are looking forward to enjoying a Shabbat meal with all the families. Also, after the dinner the students will lead the Kabbalat Shabbat service. Looking forward to another month of great learning and good moments together, Rabbis Daniela & Rami Principals of TBE Religious School KIDDUSH & ONEG SPONSORS NOVEMBER Monthly Sponsors Needed Weekend Sponsors Nov. 16 & 17 Michele & Bob Matlin In Honor of Bob s special birthday Nov. 23 & 24 Numa & Dick Lavy In Memory of Sadie Kolman of Numa Lavy
