1 AHAVAT TORAH Rabbi Miriam Hamrell Cantorial Soloist Gary Levine Associate Cantorial Soloist Co-President Vice President Kimberly Haynes Michael Stevens Judy Kollack ONE TORAH, MANY TEACHERS, ONE COMMUNITY January 25 th, : am Mussar with Rabbi Miriam and Rabbinic Intern Gregory Metzger Kohelet Ecclesiastes 10:00 am PM Shabbat Service "Striking a slave... must be avenged," Exodus 21:20 Secretary Treasurer Shoshi Wilchfort Lynn Stevens Dan Sterling Board Members Past Presidents Debra Barrath Barbara Burbank Vicki Crawford Judy Freeman Gary Levine Florene Rozen Jonathan Troper Rena Jaffe Jean Katz Ron Estroff Sid Rosenblatt Blanche Moss Ex- Officio Members Rabbi Miriam Hamrell Charles Hamrell MD Torah Portion Mishpatim Exodus 21:1-24:18 Chanter Teress D var Torah Gerry Owen Cantor Gary Levine Greeter Bernice Brown Unless otherwise indicated, all events and services are at Village Lutheran Church, 343 S. Church Lane, L.A
2 Rabbi Miriam Hamrell On October 27th, 1988, the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica Hospital launched Stuart House, a child abuse treatment program. It was the first in the world that had medical, police and child protective services under the same roof. It was a "one-stop center" where children were and still are given immediate assistance. Chuck and I were at the opening of the center. It was a hopeful and heart wrenching day all at once. Chuck worked for many years as a volunteer physician, and I worked for fifteen years as a volunteer in the waiting room, making rape victims feel a bit at ease before being seen by a professional. Our Torah portion today reminds me the important laws that were already set so many thousands of years ago by our ancient ancestors to protect the vulnerable in our society. This Torah portion is particularly interesting because it refers to an amazing number of laws that are applied particularly to women, for example: 1) What shall be the status of the wife of a Hebrew debt slave (21:3-5)? 2) What is the status and rights of a daughter who was sold into slavery to pay off her family's debt (21:7-11)? 3) What would happen with one who, verbally or physically abuses his mother (21:15, 17)? 4) What are the rights of a Hebrew female slave, who is physically abused by her master, (21:20-21 & 26-27)? 5) Who takes responsibility in a fight when a pregnant woman gets hurt, has a miscarriage, and her un-born child dies, and she herself is in a life and death situation (21:22-25)? 6) What happens to an ox who gores a woman to death (21:28-32)? 7) What are the consequences of a man who lies with virgin, and who did not ask her father formally to get engaged with the girl (22:15-16)? 8) How to treat a sorceress (22:17)? 9) What are the upshots to our society if we fail to protect the vulnerable like the widow or the orphan, (22:21-23)? There is a unifying promise to all these verses. God promises that if any of these vulnerable people will be mistreated and they would cry out to Him, "My anger shall blaze forth and I will put you to the sword (22:23)... I will pay heed, for I am compassionate,"(22:26). Sadly, many of us are all too familiar with the epidemic of women and children's abuse. Women world wide, suffer abusive relationships in silence that can be potentially fatal. Shocking statistics tell us that every nine seconds a woman is physically abused in the US. It is astounding that about one out of every four girls and one out of every eight boys are sexually abused before they reach eighteen years of age. Our ancestors knew already that the vulnerable in our society, the poor, the widow and the orphan needed to be protected. They created these compassionate laws to shield the voiceless, to strengthen them and defend them. Do we hear their cries? Does our anger burn as a blaze? Can we pay heed by being an active supporter of various anti-violence legislation? Let us in 2014 continue the work our ancestors started in our Torah portion this week. If you wish to volunteer you may contact, or, if you wish to donate some money contact, May each of us never be complacent or take for granted the health and safety many of us enjoy. May we be able to fulfill a covenantal relationship not only with God, but also with the needy and deprived all around us. Amen.

5 SAVE THESE DATES Back by popular demand The first of three Ahavat Torah's Spring trips, will be to the Griffith Park Observatory on Tuesday, February 25th from noon to 3:30 p.m. We will meet for lunch at the Wolfgang Puck Cafeteria overlooking the city, see the history of the observatory and its "being lifted"---a major engineering feat---in the Leonard Nimoy Theater (free). Have a docent speak about the new and amazing downstairs, where we will stand before galaxies flashing around us, and face and study the wall portraying a part of the universe. Then time to see the second floor, and last, to attend a planetarium show ($5.00 for seniors). PLEASE RSVP by February 15th to: Florene Rozen at or florene@roadrunner.com Of course, guests are invited. Because parking is tight at the top of the hill, it is suggested you carpool.
6 We are having a VERY SPECIAL THEATER PARTY Date: Sunday March 9, at 4pm Where: The Lounge Theater 6201 Santa Monica Blvd Hollywood, CA Street Parking is Available Ticket price is $50.00 Please contact Barbara Burbank for reservations at burpurr@sbcglobal.net or at 310/ ***Important information*** Once Barbara has received your phone call or with your RSVP, information will be provided to you for payment purposes. Seating is limited so make your reservations as soon as possible. This price includes the performance at 4PM, followed by a wine and refreshment reception and 'talk back' with the playwright Wendy Graf. Along with Rabbi Miriam Hamrell and some of the performers. Closely Related Keys directed by acclaimed director Shirley Jo Finney ( Stick Fly, In The Red and Brown Water ). Starring: Simone Cook, Brent Jennings, Diarra Kilpatrick, Jeff Lorch and Adam Meir. A young woman s carefully constructed life begins to crumble with the surprise discovery of an Iraqi half sister who has fled Iraq, arriving in the U.S. with a seemingly strange and questionable agenda. Closely Related Keys is a beautiful exploration of religious and racial identity, clashing cultures, loyalty, hopes and dreams, and the walls people build when faced with loss and threat. It is about the ones left behind. It is a plea for understanding and tolerance at a time of fear and religious, moral, racial and political polarization. Both audience and characters are challenged by deeply held notions about those people, people we assume we know. But mostly Closely Related Keys is about picking up the broken pieces of the pas to imperfectly assemble a new family and future
7 On Saturday evening, May 3rd, 2014 Ahavat Torah Congregation will have a dinner, celebrating 'Friendship' and Holy work at our compassionate and caring shul in the glen (Brentwood Glen that is). And who better to honor than three loving, giving and humble human menchen than Beth Devermont Hal and Rena Jaffe Hold the date and let us know you want to help plan a spectacular evening.
