The
psychologist Dr. Phil asks, “How is it working for you?” If every time Israel
goes to cease hostilities until they fire it is not a working ‘cease-fire’.
Repeating the same mistake over and over again is insanity. Somebody listed in
Hebrew on Facebook we did the cast lead operation (also the word for sale in
Hebrew) then pillar cloud and the last time protective edge maybe it is time to
a Gaza going out of business sale in Hebrew.
Miracle Alert
1) The
difference between a miracle and up to 50 dead soldiers was perhaps a minute or
seconds. The driver of the bus that was hit with an antitank missile, had just
let off 50 soldiers. The last one off was hit by shrapnel from the bus and
almost died the others escaped without a scratch. The driver told the story in
the hospital. This was followed by over 200 rockets.
2) Also
a family with no shelter lay on the floor of a building that was hit with only
slight injuries.
3)
Unrelated to Gaza – a fire broke out in Beit Shemesh trapping a family of 11
and smoke inhalation to other. The fire department went through a wall of
flames to rescue them. The response was rapid enough to save two children trapped
in a room with bars on the window. The Firemen cut the bars and pulled the
injured children to safety. {The Charedim are not taught preparedness or safety
conscious.}
Parsha Vayeitze Part 1
Yacov has just received the
blessing of Yitzchak and Rivka. He has set forth towards Haran. (Note I write
the standard name but it is written with a Chet in Hebrew and therefore like
Chevron should be a guttural CH.) The Medrash tells the following story: Yacov
was pursued and ambushed by Eliphaz, the son of Esav. Yacov soundly defeats
him. Rather than kill him as he is trying to murder Yacov. Yacov strikes a deal
with him. Take the jewelry that my parents have given me and say that you have
killed me as a poor man is similar to a dead man. So Esav thinks Yacov is dead
and now nobody will pursue him anymore.
28:10 And Jacob went out from Beer-Sheba, and went toward
Haran.
Yacov went out of Beer Sheva very early in the
morning to avoid Esav and prayed Shachris along the way. Going by himself on a
donkey or camel at a good clip, he could make it without a Divine boost from
place to place.
11 And he lighted upon the place, and tarried
there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the
place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
The Pasuk later says it is the “House of G-D”.
Might have been the current Har HaBeis. [today 1 h 26 min (109.8 km)] If he
rested in the modern day Beit El, that would be approximately another 33.6 km
further. It might be under two hours
today but then it was a good trip and impossible in one day by foot. From
Yerushalayim to Haran Turkey is 1023 km via Damascus.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on
the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God
ascending and descending on it. 13
And, behold (hinnei), the LORD stood beside him, and said: 'I am
the LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon
thou lie, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt
spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south.
And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
The Bnei Yacov shall spread Torah and blessings
throughout the earth.
15 And, behold (grammatical form of hinnei), I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou go, and
will bring thee back into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have
done that which I have spoken to thee of.'
I, the L-RD, will be your Shomer (guardian)
wherever you are or go. Because I am here in anyplace you travel not only the physical
place of Beit El (hinnei). You may not feel it when Lavan comes after you with
his band or Esav with 400 men, but it will be so. I am HE that shall be your
salvation and your people shall be eternal. Hinnei I am and will be by your
side!
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he
said: 'Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.' 17 And he was afraid, and said: 'How
full of awe is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this
is the gate of heaven.' 18 And
Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under
his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
He consecrated the place for perpetuity.
Unfortunately, about 3500 or more years later we have lost knowledge of the
exact spot. If it is the stone in Yerushalayim we know but if in Beit(s)-El we
do not know.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el,
but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Luz is mentioned in an Aggadah of Rebbe Meir
Baal HaNes. That was the place where the Angel of Death had no power unless
somebody lied.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying: 'If God will be
with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat,
and raiment to put on,
We are not quite this way when there is a
lottery for $1.6billion. Yacov prays a long term version of the prayer for
going on a journey and returning safely home. He does this by strengthening it
as a vow. Yacov asks for the minimum of clothing for warmth and something to
eat while away from his father’s house.
21 so that I come back to my father's house in
peace, then shall the LORD be my God,
He asks to return in peace to his father’s
house and this will be his part of the covenant with G-D.
22 and this stone, which I have set up for a
pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely
give the tenth unto Thee.'
He
promises to give Maaser to HASHEM.
HASHEM YISBORACH has entrusted me with the duty of
perhaps raising the next Gadol HaDor even if he is an audacity filled teenager.
I have been looking into either a regular High School or Yeshiva Katana for
him. Next week, I will depressurize on vacation and write
the rest of the Parsha and next week’s Parsha ble Neder. People who know me –
know that I am a workaholic and I work until I fall asleep at the computer. But
being human I need sometimes rest and relaxation from the hubbub of daily life.
The great Rabbi Chaim Grenerman Zal used to be hours upon hours advising people
about Halacha and Medical Problems. He also would decide if he could go on
vacation based on the fact that he needed to refresh his energy to help others –
as told to me by his grandson.

HERE’S
my STORY THE IMPOSSIBLE KIDDUSH MRS. SCHULAMITH BECHHOFER
Generously
sponsored by the Crain Mailing Foundation.
When we first immigrated to Canada
from Holland in 1951, we settled in Toronto. It took some months before we
could buy our own home, and our initial accommodations were very primitive — in
fact, we lived in an abandoned house which the Jewish community planned to make
into a mikveh. But the place was free and it was temporary, so we made due.
We were a family of ten children. I
was already twenty years old, and so I went to work, while my younger siblings
went to school. The two youngest ones stayed home with my mother — Obi, who was
three, and the baby, Amina, who was not quite two at the time.
It was hard on my mother, because
the house had no modern facilities and, to do the laundry, she had to boil
water in a big pot on the stove, then haul it upstairs to the bathroom which
was on the second floor. One day, when she was going back and forth, she
returned upstairs to find Amina submerged in the pot of boiling water!
In a panic, my mother grabbed her
and she immediately saw that her skin was coming off her. She wrapped Amina in
a sheet, and rushed her to the Hospital for Sick Children. I don’t know how she
managed this, because she didn’t speak English, but she ran out into the street
screaming, and people helped her.
Later that same day — which was
Thursday, November 22, 1951 — I was sent to the hospital to talk to the doctors
because I was the only one in the
family who was fluent in English, having attended the Bais Yaakov seminary in
London. The doctors’ prognosis was grim. “Tell your parents that there is no
hope,” they said. “This child is going to die. She is not going to live out the
day.”
I didn’t have the heart to tell
this to my parents. So, instead, I said, “She is very, very sick, and the
doctors are trying their best.”
Indeed, they were trying. They put
her in a cast in order to minimize the exposure of the burned skin to the air
and retain as much fluid in the tissues as possible. But they really didn’t
think that this would help her survive
Realizing the gravity of her
condition, and not knowing who else to turn to, my father called his
brother-in-law, Rabbi Chaim Mordechai Aizik Hodakov, who served as the
secretary of the Rebbe. Rabbi Hodakov took the matter to the Rebbe, who said
that Amina would be alright, and he instructed my father to make a communal Kiddush
that Shabbat, specifying that my mother be involved in the preparations.
It felt strange to us to be making
a celebratory Kiddush, but my parents — who were not Chabad Chasidim — put on
the Kiddush because the Rebbe had instructed them to. Word spread in the
neighborhood and many Lubavitcher Chasidim
showed up — they ate, they drank,
they danced. They put their all into it, knowing the directive had come from
the Rebbe, which meant it was important. And when Shabbat was over, we found
out that the Rebbe had been right – Amina was still alive despite the doctor’s
worst predictions.
We began to grasp the power of the
Rebbe’s blessing, and our trust in G-d was renewed, as our hopes grew.
Luckily, at that point we were
still ignorant of the details of her condition. In a child this small, the heat
from such severe burns can damage the internal organs, including the heart,
lungs and kidneys. The doctors were particularly concerned about her kidneys,
and were waiting to make sure that the urinary system was still working. That
turned out to be fine, but she was hardly out of danger.
The following Saturday, December 1,
was her second birthday, and we planned to go to the hospital on Sunday to
celebrate and give her some small presents. Instead, the police came to our
door — because we had no phone and the hospital couldn’t call us — to inform us
that we needed to rush to the hospital because Amina was dying.
When we arrived, she was in bad
shape. It was awful to look at her little face. Her cheeks were sunken, and
there were deep black circles under her eyes. I tried to pull my mother away,
saying, “Don’t look, don’t look,” but she said, “This is my child. I have to.”
My father called the Rebbe again,
and again the Rebbe said that she would be all right. My brother Dovid remembers
that, on this occasion, my father spoke directly with the Rebbe who told him,
“You are a rabbi. It is your job to see that Jewish education in the city is as
it should be, that the kosher standards are good ... You must do your job, and
G-d will do His.”
While the doctors were constantly
trying to prepare us for the worst, the Rebbe continued to sustain our hope,
which we clung to as the months passed and Amina remained on the critical list.
During this time, there were many setbacks and close calls, as when her fever
spiked to 106 and, again, when she began vomiting and deteriorating for an unexplained
reason.
In the latter instance, when my
father informed the Rebbe, he said, “Ask the hospital to check what they are
doing. Something is not right.”
It is very difficult for a
foreigner who doesn’t speak the language to challenge doctors and insist that
they double-check their treatment. However, the Rebbe’s certitude that the
hospital was making some sort of mistake instilled my parents with courage. So
they spoke up.
As it turned out, Amina was being
given the wrong medicine — an improper injection or something like that. I
don’t remember specifically what it was, but I do remember that my parents’
insistence caused the hospital to correct what the mistake.
Amina stayed in the hospital until
March, when she was moved to home care. She had very deep wounds, some still
open, and her bandages had to be changed constantly. Also, by the time she
returned home, she had lost the ability to walk, or
even to sit and stand, as a result of having been in a body cast for all those
months. She had to re-learn everything. It took months for her to recuperate,
but, ultimately, the Rebbe was right — she got better and was able to function
normally.
On one particular occasion, the
Rebbe sent a golden ruble to Amina with instructions that, when she would get
married, she give it to charity on her wedding day. And, indeed, when the time
came, she did just that. (I believe she gave the value of the ruble to charity
and held onto the actual ruble the Rebbe sent.)
When she became engaged to Yitzchak
Newman, he was a bit worried that the trauma her body had suffered as a result
of the burns might affect her ability to bear children. He asked the Rebbe
about it, but the Rebbe assured him there was nothing to be concerned about.
Indeed, she went on to have sixteen
children, which was very unusual in itself. Now her children are raising their
own children, so a whole tribe has come out of that miracle.
______________
Mrs. Schulamith Bechhoffer
(1931-2018) was the daughter of Rabbi Dov Yehudah and Sarah Schochet. She was a
teacher who resided in Queens, New York, where she was interviewed in August,
2012
My late colleague at work, Zev, was 9
on the night of the broken glass.
My grandmother witnessed Kristallnacht.
I have
long known that my grandmother witnessed Kristallnacht. But it is only this
year — as we mark the 80th anniversary of the vicious antisemitic pogrom that
exploded across Nazi Germany on Nov. 9 and 10, 1938 — that I have come to learn
the details of her harrowing experience.
Now Esti
Kalms, my grandmother grew up as Esther Weinstock on Lilienbrunngasse, a
small street in Vienna’s 2nd district, just south of the River Danube. In March
1938, nine months before the pogrom, Austria was incorporated into Nazi Germany
through the infamous “Anschluss,” and Adolf Hitler was greeted by adoring
crowds on the Heldenplatz when he triumphantly arrived in Vienna.
The area
where my grandmother lived was home to a significant Orthodox Jewish
community, alongside non-Jewish neighbors. The street was relatively
narrow for Vienna, lined with fairly large apartment blocks, all four stories
high. “From your window you could look into the windows of the houses
opposite,” my grandmother told me. There were a few stores on the block and a
synagogue that was housed directly below her apartment.
It was
the family’s proximity to the synagogue that made her a front row observer to
the events of that brutal night, when more than one hundred Jews were murdered,
thousands deported to concentration camps, and hundreds of synagogues and Jewish-owned
stores were destroyed in the antisemitic frenzy.
We
enjoyed a wonderful 60-year run, we American Jews. The postwar boom of the
1940s and 1950s heralded a Golden...
My
grandmother was 9 years old at the time. She recalls huddling silently at the window
of their apartment with her siblings, her mother, who sold knitted goods for a
living, and her father, a kabbalist and local rabbi, and “hearing a lot of
noise outside in the street.”
The road
below was dimly lit, and in their apartment all lights were switched off. “We
were told to stand well back from the window, so as not to be seen from
the street,” she said. “We thought we would be next.” Down below she saw a
group of soldiers and “a lot of the contents of the shul that was one flat
below us in the middle of the street.”
“We were
obviously quite scared,” she added.
And then
a vivid recollection: “In the middle of it all there was one SS man
holding up a Sefer Torah (Torah scroll) and kicking downwards with his boot to
try and tear it, to destroy it.”
“How
stupid is he,” she remembers thinking. “He thinks it’s made out of paper and I
know it’s made out of parchment, why doesn’t he realize he’s not going to tear
it.”
The
scroll didn’t tear, and shortly afterwards the family moved away from the window.
The
following day she walked alone to her mother’s shop. On her way there she
passed by a large synagogue that they had often attended growing up. “I saw the
destruction of that shul and I had to walk into the middle of the road to get
past because of the destruction and the rubble,” she said. “You could see the
inside of the shul right outside in the street. That made a big impression on
me.”
“I was
extremely puzzled,” she said. “I didn’t know that this had gone on all over the
place and whatever else had gone on that night. It took time to seep through.”
Shortly
afterwards she told her parents that she wanted to leave the country, and a
month or so later she left for England on the “Kindertransport” with two of her
sisters and one of her brothers. Both of her parents, my
great-grandparents Dovid and Chaye Ides Weinstock, perished at the hands
of the Nazis.
Reflecting
back on that fateful night, I asked why she felt the memory of the Nazi with
the Torah scroll had remained so lucid all these years.
“It was
in fact a microcosm,” she said. “It symbolizes how we are indestructible
really. Just as the written word on the Sefer Torah, on the parchment, couldn’t
be destroyed in the way he wanted to destroy it, we’ll go on forever.”
Pogrom one girl’s holocaust diary
sounds a warning against anti-Semitism by Ben Cohen
For the global community of Holocaust scholars and educators, the 80th anniversary of the Nazi pogrom against Germany’s Jews commonly known as “Kristallnacht” — which falls this Friday and Saturday — could scarcely come at a more pertinent moment.
Since the violent far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, Americans have become transfixed by the growing brazenness of this country’s white supremacists. In the last month alone, the murderous consequences of this hatred have been on graphic display — first in the Oct. 24 slaying of two African-Americans in a Kentucky grocery store by a gunman who reportedly tried to enter a black community church moments earlier, and then the Oct. 27 massacre of 11 Jewish worshipers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue by a neo-Nazi assailant, marking the worst antisemitic atrocity in the history of the US.
Over in Europe, antisemitism is more in the frame now than at any other time since the Nazi era. From the antisemitic murders of two elderly French Jewish women — Sarah Halimi in 2017 and Mireille Knoll this year — to the unresolved crisis over antisemitism at all levels of the British Labor Party, to the bitter disputes in Eastern European countries on the topic of wartime collaboration with the Nazis, scarcely a day passes without discussion or reflection on whether there is a future for Jews on the continent. And in the Middle East, Holocaust denial, crude antisemitism and comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany remain a staple of the region’s media, as well as a core theme of the Iranian regime’s propaganda.
An Australian man who set fire to a truck laden with gas cylinders in the center of Melbourne and stabbed...
Against this background, Holocaust educators see little alternative to doubling their efforts in their quest to demonstrate where antisemitism and racism can lead. One trusted tool in that regard has been the growing archive of personal testimonies, letters, diaries, paintings and sketches that were produced by Holocaust victims before they perished — documents that humanize their experiences by providing first-person insights into their thoughts, their worries and their daily lives.
Among the most moving of the textual accounts is the diary of Rywka Lipszyc, a Jewish teenager whose ordeal during the Holocaust took her from the Lodz Ghetto in Poland to both the Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen Nazi concentration camps. Gravely ill, Rywka is assumed to have died in a hospital in Germany in 1945, shortly after the Allied victory in World War II.
When The Algemeiner spoke last month with Dr. Anita Friedman — a leading San Francisco-based Holocaust educator whose unsparing efforts resulted in the publication of Rywka’s Diary in 2014 — the focus of the discussion was on the diary’s significance in understanding how the Nazi persecution of the Jews evolved from the Kristallnacht (“Night of Broken Glass”) pogrom to a full-scale program of extermination. More than one hundred Jews were slaughtered during the night of Nazi violence on Nov. 9 and 10, 1938, with 30,000 Jewish men deported to concentration camps, and hundreds of synagogues, homes, Jewish-owned stores and hospitals incinerated across Germany and Nazi-controlled Austria. Alongside the 1935 Nuremberg Laws that effectively classified Jews as subhuman, Kristallnacht was a critical milestone in the coming Holocaust that took Rywka Lipszyc and millions like her.
But with the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre of Oct. 27, Friedman’s latest initiative to promote the diary and its lessons has taken on an unexpected urgency. “The attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh showed the world that the antisemitic violence we commonly associate with the past — with pogroms, persecution and the Holocaust — is alive and well today,” Friedman told The Algemeiner in an email on Wednesday. “It is more important than ever to educate new generations through firsthand accounts like ‘Rykwa’s Diary’ about the devastation wrought by antisemitism, so that we can commit to ending it.”
Currently, the diary is a centerpiece of a multimedia exhibit at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, which runs until January. Assembled in cooperation with the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, Poland, “The Girl in the Diary” allows visitors to read from a selection of Rywka’s entries — which began on Oct. 3, 1943 and ended abruptly on Apr. 12, 1944. After New York, the exhibition about Rywka will travel to the Jewish Museum in Milwaukee, and after that to the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco.
Much of the diary’s searing drama stems from the circumstances of its discovery. Plucked from the ruins of the Auschwitz crematoria by a Soviet Army doctor, Zinaida Berezovskaya in 1945, the diary arrived in San Francisco fifty years later in the hands of Berezovskaya’s granddaughter, who had emigrated to California.
The original copy of Rywka’s diary is now housed at Yad Vashem, Israel’s official Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. But an English language version, edited by Friedman in 2014 and containing all 112 pages of the diary, has served to introduce a new generation to the horrors of the Holocaust.
For Friedman, Rywka’s unshakable commitment to the Jewish faith is one of the elements that makes her diary special. “She was a girl who was very religious,” Friedman – who also heads the Koret Foundation, a philanthropic enterprise with a strong focus on Jewish education – explained. “Her formal education stopped at the age of 11, when Hitler invaded Poland, but at the age of 14, she was capable of writing a beautifully-crafted diary. The way she grappled with deep questions of theology and faith makes it very unusual.”
An entry of Feb. 1, 1944 gives a sense of Rywka’s literary talents, with her psalm-like plea to God to come to her aid. “O, God help me lift myself up, I can’t do it on my own!” she wrote. “Don’t let me flinch before hardship and put me back on my feet! …My God! I have such longing…” But she also had a 14-year-old’s penchant, even under extraordinary hardship, for observations about her family, her friends and her life in the ghetto suffused with gentle humor and feeling. There are passages of great melancholy too: “It’s the second day of the holidays,” she wrote on Apr. 11, 1944, during Passover. “How was the Seder? How could it be?! Oh, Daddy’s absence made our life miserable. The Seder without Daddy, but without not only Daddy, without men at all…”
Friedman’s hope is that Rywka’s voice will “inspire current generations to be morally courageous and socially responsible.”
“I wish she were alive to know that we are all so sorry we were not in a position to protect you in your time of urgent need,” she reflected. “But we are continuing your legacy 70 years later.”
While there has been concern that interest in the Holocaust is fading as it recedes in time, Friedman argued that the reverse is happening. She singled out Germany’s government for “setting the standard for moral clarity” in Holocaust education, but added that there were encouraging trends in other countries too — including Poland, where political life for much of this year has been dominated by legislation that outlawed discussion of Polish collusion with the Nazi occupying authorities. Nonetheless, Friedman said, last year Poland added Rywka’s Diary to its Holocaust-education curriculum. “This increased interest in understanding what happened during the Holocaust and for patterns of genocide currently is an encouraging trend,” Friedman said, pointing to the recent genocides in the Sudanese region of Darfur and against the Yazidi minority in Iraq as crimes that can be further understood through the lens of the Holocaust.
Now published in 15 languages, with a film currently in production in Poland, Friedman presents Rywka’s Diary as the unique perspective of a religious Jewish girl in Nazi-occupied Poland on the tribulations of the Jewish people over 3,000 years. She also holds up the diary as a warning against trivializing Nazism and its legacy — a point to bear in mind, perhaps, as the world prepares to commemorate the atrocity of Kristallnacht.
“Labeling anything that’s bad ‘Nazi’ or ‘Naziesque’ reveals a lack of understanding,'” Friedman said, when asked about the present profusion of Nazi analogies on social media and in national politics. “So to me, that’s also an opportunity to do more Holocaust education.”
