…sense of dignity and pride. This year, as always, each member of our shul community will be asked repeatedly to help support the shul. As Rabbi I see every day how this community makes a real difference in the lives of many people. It is my hope that, in the words of our Torah, “every person shall give as they are able” (Deut. 16:17). When Grampa Ed and his brothers left the card table with $50 or $100 less than they came with, they still felt li…
…istant hope of reconciling with his brothers. I think, too, he may want to come to terms with his own role in the events of that awful afternoon many years ago. So he faces a complex problem. Shall he just tell them who he is and forgive them? No, he could not be ready for that. Shall he pretend he doesn’t know them and treat them like anyone other supplicant?

…d during the 19th and 20th centuries, or Arabized Turks who came during the 300– year Ottoman (non-Arab) period immediately preceding British rule. This is a simple demographic fact, though not widely recognized. Many came during the time of Zionist development or British rule to enjoy the benefits of the economic growth that the Jews and British brought. That is why so many Palestinian Arabs have Turkish, Egyptian and other foreign last names. Th…
