Reconstructionist Congregation Beth Israel, which sold its
synagogue and parsonage building in Maywood to share
space, resources, and governance, among other things,
with Temple Israel.
RCBI hired a rabbi, Jacob Lieberman, who also will be
the assistant rabbi at the Ridgewood shul.
We have been operating as Temple Israel; now we are
going to emphasize the Jewish Community Center piece

said.
Temple Israel has slightly more than 200 membership
units, and RCBI has about 30. The two congregations will

their social action committees, which are very important
to both shuls, have begun to work together already.
RCBI will be structured as a group within the umbrella

and sisterhood, with their own budgets and board, Mr.
Holden said. They will have one member on Temple

and a seat on the school board. Temple Israel will do all

Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, which is the movements umbrella organization. Because those organizations assess dues based on synagogue membership,
when new families join, they will check one of two boxes
one for each movement just as you do when you register to vote, Rabbi Fine said. Its also analogous to the
Center for Jewish History on 16th Street in Manhattan, an
organization made up of autonomous but linked bodies.
In a sense, the landlord is renting space, but they are
working together, with an overall organization.
Its a different approach, he added. Its not letting go
of the denominational ideologies, its an embrace of those
ideologies, but still working together under the same organizational rubric and under the same roof. Its like what you
see on college campuses, in the Hillel world. Separate services, and joint kiddushes and onegs. It allows us to maintain differences but still work together and pool resources.
Its very exciting, Mr. Holden said. Our membership
has been very enthusiastic about this. Its about more
than the financial aspect, and about keeping the numbers
up. Whats much more exciting is how its enhancing the
community.
A few weeks ago, we had four simultaneous services.
Tot Shabbat, Junior Congregation, the RCBI service, and
the main service. They have helped us make minyans; we
had an occasion recently where we had several members
pass away, and it was hard to schedule all the shiva minyans. One of the RCBI members led one of the shiva minyans for one of our members.
There are some theological differences, he conceded.
Anything they do religiously is according to their rules,
in their designated space. They have their worship space
and we have ours. We wouldnt have an interfaith wedding, and we dont recognize patrilineal descent, but if
they were having a bar mitzvah for a patrilineal child and
they were expecting a lot of guests, they would use the
main sanctuary, and follow their rules.
Kashrut is not an issue, he added; the congregation had
kept kosher in its old building and would continue to do
so in the new one.
Christine ODonnell, the president of RCBI, said that
although the model is new to this area, it is already working in other places, including Philadelphias Germantown
Jewish Center. We think its the best of both worlds, she
said. Our Reconstructionist community has the benefit
of our own clergy and services, but the benefit of being
within a larger congregation for our social, education, and
cultural needs. We will pay our own way, but there are
economies of scale, and the maintenance of the physical
plant has been taken off our plate.
The congregation, which started out Conservative,
had been in the Maywood building which began its life
as a church since 1931, she said; it transitioned over
to Reconstructionist about 2000. As the countys only
Reconstructionist shul, it drew from the entire area.
Our goal is to grow Reconstructionism, and we feel
that this gives us the best opportunity to do that, Ms.
ODonnell said.
RCBIs pulpit will be Jacob Liebermans first as a rabbi;
he was ordained last month.
Rabbi Lieberman, who grew up in Irvine, California, and
knew he wanted to be a rabbi since he was in his teens, has
had connections to all of Judaisms main liberal movements,
so in many ways this arrangement is perfect for him.
I grew up in a Reform congregation and then we moved
to a Reconstructionist one, so I had both before I finished
high school, he said. And then, as an undergraduate, I
studied at the Jewish Theological Seminary, so I had a lot
of access to the thought there.
There is a strong connection between the Reconstructionist and Conservative movements, he continued. Mordecai Kaplan, the founding figure of the Reconstructionist
Interior and exterior views of the building that Temple Beth Israel bought in 1931 and RCBI sold this year.
movement, had smicha from the seminary. A lot of Reconstructionist rabbis have served at Conservative synagogues, and there is a lot of cooperation between them,
so it is a natural fit in a lot of ways.
But the two movements are far from identical. Reconstructionism is an invigorating look at Jewish identity, Jewish
community, and bringing expansive ideas to bear on our traditional texts, so when I study texts with some of the lenses
that I have learned, they come alive in a way that is very
meaningful for me, Rabbi Lieberman said. Those lenses
mainly provide context historical, social, economic, and
philosophical undergirding. If I am looking at a rabbinic
text, and I understand what was happening in the Roman
Empire at the time, I have a broader context to understand
some of the polemics, he said. It helps me to see the animosity between people who are being ruled and the rulers.
The two movements look at the function of a rabbi as
decision-maker differently too. Rabbi Lieberman sees his
role as a facilitator, helping guide the community toward
a shared decision, as the Reconstructionist worldview suggests, while Rabbi Fine is more of a mara datra, the decisor
whose decision might be based on community input but is
his and is final.
Like RCBIs president, Ms. ODonnell, Rabbi Lieberman
sees the arrangement with Temple Israel as more of a strategic partnership than a merger. We are Reconstructionist,
and that is a strong identity, he said. We are looking to
retain our identity and build a bigger and broader community. We will have our own unique services, and they will
have theirs, and we will come together around some programming. It is my hope that we will collaborate around
some childrens programming, family and adult education,
and social action.
Rabbi Lieberman, who graduated from Barnard College,
is to the best of my knowledge the first openly transgender
graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, he
said. That means that he knows about courage.
That courage will serve him well, he said.
I am not afraid to go out into the community and meet
all different kinds of people, he said. I will come with my
Reconstructionist roots, and Rabbi Fine is a leader in the
Conservative movement. We are all bringing a lot to the
table, and I am excited about the synergy.

Mourning possibilities
Local woman helps parents face trauma of stillbirth, infant mortality
ABIGAIL KLEIN LEICHMAN
Jewish Family Service of Bergen and Hudson County last February. It offers a support group every second Wednesday of
the month, from 7 to 9 p.m., for men and
women grieving parents, grandparents,
and extended family of a baby from prebirth to one year old at the JFS office at
1485 Teaneck Road in Teaneck.
Though NechamaComfort is geared
to address the particular needs of Jewish
families, Ms. Judas counsels anyone who
approaches her, and counts several nonJews and Jewish atheists in the support
group.
We have some people whove been
coming for years, partly to help those
newly bereaved, and we have people who
come for six months or a year after a loss,
have another baby, and come back for the
yahrzeit, she said. I do a lot of phone
support for those who arent able to come
to the support group. I also make house
calls, as a volunteer.
Ms. Judas provides guidance for clergy,
funeral directors, and medical personnel;
Jewish burial support; assistance in finding meaningful ways to move beyond loss;
assistance during subsequent pregnancies,
traveling to Israel to plant a tree in memory of the baby. Although the traditional
seven-day shiva mourning period does
not apply for miscarriage or stillbirth,
she finds that more and more parents are
choosing to sit shiva informally, and as a
practicing Orthodox Jew she does not discourage this.
NechamaComfort was modeled on
a pregnancy and infancy loss support
group pioneered by Johanna Gorab,
Holy Names parent-education coordinator. Ms. Judas incorporated some of Ms.
Gorabs ideas, such as memory boxes
filled with photographs of the baby, his
or her hospital bracelet, and other memorabilia. She assures parents that its fine
to include Jewish prayers or psalms and
even a lock of hair, as this does not violate
Judaisms guidelines on burying a body
intact.
Often, people who experienced an
infants death long ago are only now starting to feel comfortable acknowledging that
childs ongoing presence in their life.
If you lost a baby 30 years ago, you can
still name that baby now, or start lighting
a Shabbos candle for that baby, Ms. Judas

Opinion
On this day in that year, God decreed that the generation of the Exodus would die out in the desert; only their
children would live to inherit the Land of Promise. With
the gift of hindsight, the sages concluded God also must
have issued another decree that day: Because you, Israel,
cried for no reason on this day, I, God, will see to it you
have reason to cry on this day forever after.
Fanciful or not, history supports this midrash. It was on
the Ninth of Av in the year 586 BCE that Babylonian forces
set fire to the First Temple. In the year 70 CE, Roman
forces set fire to the Second Temple.
In the year 135 CE, on the Ninth Day of Av, the Judean
revolt against Rome reportedly came to a crushing end
with the fall of Betar and the death of its leader, Bar
Kochba. A series of executions followed that wiped out
nearly an entire generation of religious leaders and scholars, including Rabbi Akiva.
On August 2, 1492, Tisha BAv, what was arguably the
greatest diaspora community the world had ever known
until then ended with the departure from Spain of the last
of its expelled Jews.
On August 1, 1914, Tisha BAv, Germany declared war on
Russia. This began World War I, but it also set into motion
events that would lead to the creation of the Soviet Union,
which would wage a 75-year campaign to destroy everything Jewish within its borders. World War I would end in

Opinion
Meanwhile, the Zionist Organization of America filed a suit to have Partners for Progressive Israel (formerly Meretz USA) removed
from the American Zionist Movement. This
faction of right-wing Zionists chose to forget that from its very inception, Zionism has
been hyphenated.
When Theodor Herzl convened the First
Zionist Congress, he knew that the hall would
be filled with those who defined themselves
as Religious Zionists or Revisionist Zionists, as
Labor Zionists or Socialist Zionists. And that
among these and other Zionist groupings
there existed differing shades of thought, different opinions, and different dreams for the
kind of Jewish state that would be created.
There were Zionists who supported a Jewish state in Uganda and those who did not.
Debates were fierce loud and long but
all sides were heard. Discussions were held,
votes taken, decisions agreed upon. No one
was removed, no one was thrown out or
labeled a traitor to the great cause.
Jews always have been a multivoiced people. Our strength has come from our ability
to hear each other, to listen, and to recognize the others right to differ. Ours is a history replete with Jewish voices disagreeing
Pharisees and Sadducees, chasidim and
mitnagdim, pages of the Talmud filled with

camp in Jordan. My suggestion to church
leaders that the Episcopal and Jewish communities, hopefully with other faith community partners, could jointly sponsor
the display of this tent this fall at the U.N.
was met with enthusiasm. This church is
deeply committed to both social justice
and the interfaith partnership.
The Episcopal church, whose roots in
America go back to colonial days, is part
of the worldwide Anglican Church Federation. It is facing many of the same
challenges that our Jewish community is
confronting in the rapidly changing ways
that 21st century Americans relate to and
interact with one another. In my three
days in Salt Lake City I experienced some
truly transformative worship and listened
as priests and laity wrestled with issues
of liturgical change and questioned their
churchs ability to reach their next generation. Their debates sounded strikingly
familiar to me, similar to our own internal
Jewish struggles.

Shabbat, where both communities come
together for the conclusion of the service,
including their rabbis sermon, Kaddish,
and a kiddish lunch. The synagogue is
led by a dynamic young rabbi, who is the
daughter of a contemporary of mine, an
inspirational cantor, and a large cadre of
dedicated and liturgically skilled lay leaders. Last Saturday, like many colleagues
across the country, the rabbi spoke about
Charleston and its implications. She made
the challenging claim that Americans must
not use the issue of the Confederate flag
as a diversion from facing the real issue of
racism that permeates our society and our
own communities. She called upon her
congregants to join her in outreach to the
African American, Native American, and
Muslim communities in Salt Lake City.
The lessons I learned in three days in
Salt Lake City were that that we are blessed
to live in a time and place where Jews and
Judaism are far more accepted by our
Christian neighbors and their churches
than ever before in American history.

The story of his life is about
the moment when everything
changed, the second that split it
inexorably into before and after.
The time when he almost died,
when his understanding of himself in the physical world ended,
when through great pain he was
reborn.
But really, the person Mr. Gold became
after the terrible accident that rendered him
paraplegic was a logical
outgrowth of the person
he was before. His integrity, athleticism, ambition, courage, tenacity,
brains, competitiveness, and strength as
well as, yes, his deep
Jewish connections
not only saved his life
but allowed him to
embark on this next
part of it.
Heres what happened.
Ron Gold, who is 55, grew up
in West Orange, going all the way
through school at what was then
the Solomon Schechter School
of Union County and now has
become the Golda Och Academy.
I grew up in the Conservative
movement, but my parents were

so the family belonged to three
of them. He was active in Young
Judaea, becoming regional president, and spent his gap year in
Israel with that group.
During that year, he met Betsy

Cover Story
When he finally got a boat from the
Chelsea Piers and arrived in Hoboken,
they hosed us all down, and they took
everybodys blood pressure, he said.
Still, he recovered from that; for some
time he twitched whenever a plane flew
overhead, and because his house was
under a flight path to Newark, that happened not infrequently. But he was a frequent and nerveless flier. Life returned to
normal.
And then, just about 10 years later, on
Thanksgiving weekend in 2011, I wasnt
going to go riding, but it was a gorgeous
day, Mr. Gold remembered. It was so hot
that we took our vests off, and left them at
a 7-Eleven on the way.
We were coming back from our ride.
Perry, one of the four men on the ride,
lived in Upper Saddle River, and he had
just turned off to go home, and Marvin,
another rider, stopped at a bike shop.
I was right behind Zach Dr. Zachary
Orden of Hillsdale, Mr. Golds next-door
neighbor and the third rider. I was right
on his wheel, my eyes were on his wheel
so that I wouldnt ride into him. And then
all of a sudden I see this SUV go into Zach
in the road, Upper Saddle River Road.
She, the driver, had fallen asleep. She
was just a couple of miles from home, and
she thought that she could make it, but she
blacked out on the curve.
She hit Zach, and he went flying. And
then she hit me head on.
I saw it all in a flash, and all I could
think of was Keep your head above the
hood. I know that if I had tried to make
a sharp turn to avoid her, I wouldnt have
made it, and if I had fallen, I would have
been dead.
Thats the last thing I remembered for
several weeks.
Dr. Orden, a dentist, remembers more
of the accident.
Unlike Mr. Gold, who remembers the
day as glorious, the way 9/11 had been, he
says that it was crummy. But he was a
serious rider he had been a good rider
as a teenager, dropped it for some time,
was inspired by Mr. Gold, and took it up in
great earnest, riding in races and endurance events, loving it.
Initially, Ron was the stronger rider, but
as time went by I had more time to ride
unlike Mr. Gold, who had to commute to
work, Dr. Ordens practice is local and
so eventually I became the stronger rider.
Thats probably why I was in front of
Ron when it happened. I was pulling.
Generally, the stronger rider pulls. Its
a real effect, and you can feel it you are
literally being sucked along by the other
person, who is breaking through the wind.
As soon as you get close enough to someone, you dont have to pedal as hard.
We were coming around a turn on East
Saddle River Road, just north of the post
office, he said. If you are headed north,
the road makes a right turn, and then a
left turn. And then, around the second
turn, headed south, I see a vehicle headed
24 Jewish Standard JULY 3, 2015
Ron Gold is at
the Kotel in
Jerusalem with
a good friend,
the writer and
journalist Gil Troy.
I think I remember the ambulance making the right around the entrance ramp
onto Route 17, but the rest of the time I was
knocked out. I think I remember arriving
at Hackensack Medical Center.
Dr. Ordens pelvis was shattered, and his
left hand was damaged. Given everything,
though, he was lucky. The surgical team
that took care of him was very good and
he had been in prime physical condition;
his hip replacement took, his hand was
repaired, and after a stay at Kessler and a
great deal of physical therapy, he was able
to go back to dentistry. I count my blessings, he said.
Mr. Golds injuries were much more
severe; had he not been in such good physical shape, it is unlikely that he could have
survived them.
He was in an induced coma in the hospital in Hackensack for about three weeks
when I came out, all I could remember
was the neurosurgeon coming in to tell me
that I would never walk again, and he had
to come back several times before it sank
in in intensive care for two months, in
the hospital for three months, and in Kessler for physical therapy for five months. I
would cry myself to sleep, and think that
when I woke up, the bad dream would be
over, he said. But it never was.
The spinal cord is very complicated.
With all the medical advances, they still
havent been able to figure out how to get
above the level of the injury.
Eventually, Mr. Gold was discharged.
Now I was supposed to be able to reengage with society, but I was nowhere
close to that, he said.

This is a very
balanced,
moderate group
of people, who
believe, as
AJC has long
believed, that
we can do
better at the
negotiating table.
AIPAC is demanding short notice
nuclear inspections anytime and anywhere, including all military locations.
Khamenei says he does not agree with
inspecting military centers and says the
International Atomic Energy Agency, the
atomic watchdog of the United Nations,
must not be the sole arbiter determining
compliance with the deal.
AIPAC says sanctions can be lifted only
once the IAEA provides ongoing verification that Iran is meeting the conditions of the
deal. Khamenei plainly says: Lifting sanctions should not depend on the fulfillment of
Irans commitments.
AIPAC says the 10- to 15-year sunset clause
anticipated for some of the deals reported
restrictions is too short. A good deal must
not expire until Iran has proved over time
that its nuclear ambitions are for peaceful
Irans supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and AIPAC are seen as the mustconvince skeptics for their respective sides in the talks about Irans nuclear
program.

Magical Marvelous
Marble Cake
7 eggs separated
3 cups flour (use white or whole wheat pastry flour)
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 level teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon best quality cocoa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg whites until
stiff in a bowl with a whisk or hand mixer. In another
bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a third bowl, beat egg yolks, water, vanilla, and oil.
Add flour mixture and combine well. Gently incorporate egg whites. Remove a cup of batter to a small
bowl and add a tablespoon of cocoa.
Coat a bundt pan or a tube pan with nonstick cooking
spray. Spray a loaf pan to accommodate any leftover
batter.
Spoon in batter, alternating between the yellow and
chocolate batters. Gently run a knife into the batter to
create swirls. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted into the cake comes out dry.
Freezes well. Serves 16.
Kosher Market
Marble cake was an old time Kiddush
staple. The marble refers to the dark
chocolate streaks shot through the yellow sponge cake like the veins in marble
stone. Because commercial bakeries have
turned it into a pale replica of its former
self, marble cake is no longer popular. This
marble cake comes from Lithuania by way
of South Africas Lithuanian Jewish community. The author learned the recipe from
Shoshana Levy, a professional harpist and a
wonderful baker.
If you leave out the chocolate it is a sponge
cake on its own. For a more pronounced
chocolate taste double the amount of cocoa.

Dear Rabbi
Your Talmudic Advice Column
Dear Rabbi,
A member of our community has been saying for years that he is Holocaust survivor.
In fact he did live in Hungary during the
Holocaust, but by all accounts, he was not
subjected to any special duress during that
period. It seems like this person is engaging
in a form of bragging and seeks a special
status, even sympathy. Why would someone do that? And what should I do about it?
Befuddled in Bergenfield
Dear Befuddled,
Ill answer your question in two parts. First
the factual. The suffering for Jews during
the war was less severe in Hungary than in
other parts of Europe. It is true that Germany did not occupy Hungary until 1944,
late in the war. During the war, however,
many Hungarian Jews suffered deprivation, starvation, humiliation, and other
atrocities. Every Jew in Europe during
WWII suffered trauma, whether they were
in concentration camps, hidden, or partisans in the forest. Even those who escaped
direct attack might have been traumatized
by the loss of loved ones.
The Jews in Hungary were decimated at
the end of the war. As many as 450,000
or more Jews were deported to concentration camps, and anti-Semitic laws were
enacted. So as a matter of fact, a person
living in Budapest through the war can call
him or herself a survivor of evil Nazi rule,
if thats what he wants to do.
The Holocaust is a sensitive subject. You
have to be careful of your wording and tone
when you discuss it, so you do not suggest
that anyone who went through it is less of a
survivor. True, some people fabricate their
experiences, but thats not widespread.
You need to accept that a wide range of
factors goes into how people in that circumstance choose to describe themselves
and their personal histories. On one end
of the spectrum, some survivors will not
speak at all, even to their families and
friends, about their experiences.
Your acquaintance seems to be on the
other side of the spectrum speaking out
too vocally for your taste and claiming too
much about his past. American culture is
quite averse to open conceit. Even when
the facts and a persons achievements
make it tempting for him or her to claim
special merit, its not a good idea. And if

fun. Thanks to a grant from the Puffin Foundation, the
cost per child will $135 per week and will come with
a special rate membership to the conservancy. Since
there are spots for only 15 children in each session,
early registration is recommended.
During the first week, campers entering grades two
and three will enjoy two Hobby Quest programs. Kids
and Cameras New Techniques in Photography will
provide children with professional quality digital cameras to point, click, and capture scenery and people
through a lens. There will be an exhibition of campers
photographs at the end of the session, an online gallery of their work, and an album of their pictures to

In Making Magic, a magician will provide the tools
and secrets of tricks that will wow audiences. Magic
props used by campers are theirs to keep at the end
of the session.
During weeks two and three, campers entering
grades four and six will participate in Fairy Tale Trials
Out of the Woods and Into the Courtroom, an awardwinning program that introduces concepts of ethics,
justice, and fairness by giving fairy tale trials a day
in court. Children participate as lawyers, witnesses,
defendants, and storytellers as they explore moral
dilemmas at the core of each tale, and learn about our
legal system while doing it. Finally, they will present a
case to the jurors and a verdict will be rendered.
Nature and Discovery, the second program offered
during weeks two and three, will involve children in
an exploration of the Teaneck Creek. They will get wet
in the stream, dig in the dirt, and look under rocks
to discover and learn about the importance of this
natural area what lives here, how humans impact
the area, and more. Campers will create art and write
haiku poems inspired by their finds in this diverse
nature park.
Applications are available at the Teaneck Community Education Center, 1 Merrison St.; The Puffin
Foundation, 20 Puffin Way; and at the Teaneck Public
Library.
For questions or to have and application mailed to
your home, contact the center at (201) 833-5514 or
Karen Yucht, program coordinator at (201) 836-0142.
