LETTER FROM JERUSALEM



By Ira Sharkansky

JERUSALEM—
My recent posting critical of the "Women of the Wall" (Local religious customs should be observed at the Western Wall, October 28th)  brought a bit of applause and an argument: it is the right of Reform Jews to express themselves, and even to create some disturbance in the effort to change Israel.

This is not an issue with an obvious solution. Rather, it is one of numerous campaigns that Israelis and others are pursuing to make Israel in their image. The country serves as a platform for people with vision. We should expect no less for the Promised Land. Individuals and organizations, with views we might call messianic, want to define the promise and achieve it.

The following list is not meant to support or criticize, or to rank the issues with respect to their legitimacy. Its sole concern is to describe an agenda crowded by intense advocates, some of whom have achieved success. Among the successful are those who have caused problems for people with contrasting visions.

There are quarrels as to how to describe each of the groups. I aspire to neutrality, but that is difficult to obtain in a field marked by great passions.

  • Most prominent are the contrasting visions of religious Zionists and Palestinian nationalists. Each demand part or all of territory with as-yet undefined boundaries, and have proven themselves willing to shed blood in order to achieve their visions.
  • Related to them are Jews and Christians who come as immigrants or visitors to lend their support to the Jewish settlements in the West Bank; and Jews and others who identify with the Palestinians. Among both groups are individuals who have paid with their lives. Some have died in terrorist attacks. Others put themselves in the cross fire between the Israeli army and Palestinians, and died while calling for peace or justice.
  • Political activists from Israel and overseas identify groups that should be brought to Israel. Most prominent are the Ethiopians. More than 100,000 have come since the 1980s. More controversial are unknown thousands of additional Ethiopians. They and their supporters claim that they have family relationships with those already here, or that they are Jews, were Jews in the past, or want to become Jews, and should be brought to Israel.
  • Peruvian Indians, and Asian Indians, plus others in Africa and elsewhere, some of which have rabbis convinced that they are Jews, or potential Jews, and should be given preference as immigrants.
  • The Black Hebrews, mostly African Americans from Chicago, who have described themselves as the true Jews. Among supporters are those who admire their music. After more than two decades as unrecognized outsiders tolerated partly due to the pressure of African American politicians, Israel has granted this group the status of residents. They have access to public schools, other social services, and the army's recruiting offices.
  • Numerous Africans have made it across the Sinai and entered Israel. Advocates claim that they fled from the genocide in Dafur, and must be given the status of refugees. However, many or most of them are Nigerians or other West Africans, seeking opportunities better than at home.

Political intensities among the major secular parties have declined in recent years, reflecting the emergence of the Kadima Party out of leading members of both Labor and Likud. As we face a national election in February, several commentators have wondered about the differences between Kadima, Labor, and Likud, or even the differences between them and the left-of-center Meretz. There are policy and personality nuances. However, voters might consider an expression that comes from American politics: "Not a dimes worth of difference."

Israelis wary of boredom can relax. The leader of the Sephardi ultra-Orthodox party has uncorked the bottle containing the ethnic issue. He charges Kadima leader Tzipi Livni with racism because of comments about his political demands.

One can wish for the quiet, as well as the peace and prosperity of places like Norway or Switzerland. The fear is that Jews would wither from boredom in those countries. Emigration is greater to places of challenge like the United States, Canada, Britain, and Germany. A high incidence of international travel suggests that many Israelis seek an opportunity to rest from the fray, but nonetheless come back.

FABULOUSLY OBSERVANT





By David Benkof


NEW YORK—Secular Israelis and American Jews often complain about the power of haredim (fervently Orthodox Jews) in Israel: "They barely pay taxes yet they collect oodles of money for their schools and families, and their sons don't have to serve in the army!" The implication is that haredim have somehow gamed the system, and that a fair democracy would not allow such outsized power to a minority (10-20 percent, depending how you count) of the population.

No matter what the merits of their policy stances, the haredim are not cheating. Mature democracies make room for minorities to wield power, especially in areas that disproportionately affect them. Further, some of the most significant beneficiaries of political systems that foster minority rights have been the Jews. Israelis, whatever their thoughts about the haredim, should be loath to try to design a new system in which the majority can rule tyrannically over all minorities.

The haredim are not the first minority group in Israel to use its electoral power in the parliamentary system to gain significant resources and other concessions from the government. According to Alan Zuckerman, a professor of political science at Brown University, "given the nature of democratic politics in Israel, minority groups have the ability to block and veto and push issues they most care about. The classic example of that is not the haredim but the kibbutzim."

Zuckerman pointed out that the kibbutzim represented a relatively small part of the population but received massive government assistance. When the political conditions changed after 1977 and the parties that represented kibbutz interests lost power, many kibbutzim went under as the government pulled the plug.

Haredi power comes from their ability to form political parties that can either join coalitions or support the cabinet from the outside, which is a normal function for a minority party in a parliamentary system. But any replacement system Israel might design must involve rights for minority groups, because that is the only fair way for a polity to include the wishes of all its citizens.

Professor Gad Barzilai, the Pruzan Chair of Jewish Studies at the University of Washington, has written several books arguing, in part, that haredim "should get minority formal recognition in law." Barzilai, a political scientist, described to me a future Israel which gave full power to the majority with no minority rights. It sounded like a very scary place. "Under those conditions, Israel would subjugate any minority group - ultra-Orthodox, Arabs, women, homosexuals," he said. He described such a polity as "a sort of very abusive majoritarian rule."

Indeed 90 years ago the number one item on the world Jewish agenda was securing minority rights in the new nation-states in Central and Eastern Europe. Jewish lobbyists at the European peace conferences after the First World War insisted that new and reborn countries like Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Czechoslovakia guarantee specific political and cultural rights for minority groups, especially the Jews. In many such states, most prominently Poland, Jewish political parties pushed for Jewish votes and engaged in coalition politics not that different from those pursued by the haredim today. The minority rights principle was absolutely crucial to securing government funding for Jewish needs and protection of other Jewish interests.

But wait, there's more.

One of the parties most capable of securing funding and other Jewish needs in the interwar European democracies was Agudas Yisroel. Agudas Yisroel is the spiritual and literal ancestor of the Agudat Yisrael party that is one of the two partners making up the United Torah Judaism list representing Ashkenazi haredim in recent elections in Israel. That means the very people secularists are complaining about learned how to use parliamentary democracies to their advantage in a system designed (in part) to avoid excluding Jews and their needs.

It's important to recognize that haredim are necessarily making sacrifices by their current political strategies. By focusing on funding and a handful of status-quo issues related to religion and state (military deferments and personal status issues, for example), they lose the ability to also have an important say in foreign policy, defense, energy, infrastructure, environmental, and other policies that some of them may care a lot about. But for their current strategy to work, they have to be willing to support coalitions with a variety of stances on those other issues, so they can get what they want on the issues dearest to them.

Given the nature of the historical Jewish condition, have we learned nothing from the experience of being a minority in land after land? Surely we should welcome minority power now that we run our own country. That doesn't mean all Israelis should vote for or celebrate the haredi parties. But the widespread complaints about haredi power, as if minority rights are somehow illegitimate,is a true irony of Jewish history.

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER


Sweat-equity partners sought for San Diego Jewish World by publisher

SAN DIEGO—While San Diego Jewish World has gained its place, there is so much more we could do in presenting to the San Diego Jewish community and to Jewish communities all over the world a daily publication of news and commentary.

I am looking for partners who would like to build up San Diego Jewish World with a new graphic design, increased content, and expanded advertising. These prospective partners don't have to invest a dime in our publication—we really don't want your money. We are looking for two things far more important: your ideas and your hard work.

If you are as committed as we are to keeping the Jewish community informed, and to its well-being, and if you have skills that will help us accomplish our task--such skills as web designing, or selling advertising, or web mastering, or writing and editing--we invite you to contact us to discuss your interest in bettering this publication.


I can be reached at editor@sandiegojewishworld.com. Please provide me with some background about yourself, tell me your skills, and how you would like to see San Diego Jewish World. I will respond, and perhaps set up a meeting with you to discuss further your ideas and potential participation in San Diego Jewish World. Donald H. Harrison, editor and publisher

Thursdays with the Songs of Hal Wingard

Editor's Note: We continue our presentation of the songs of Hal Wingard, moving this week to death. Here is a link to an index of Wingard's songs published by San Diego Jewish World. To hear Hal performing the song, click on its title.


#69 EPITAPH

I hope upon my passing,
     You’ll shed a tiny tear
And feel a moment’s longing
     That I’m no longer here.

But don’t extend your mourning,
     No matter what your pain,
For neither death nor living
     Should make a soul complain.

If joy is part of living
     As life flows day by day,
Then emptiness of dying
     Is little price to pay.

So, thanks for all your sadness
     But do not weep too long.
Instead, recall my living
     And sing a joyous song.

To Hal
October 10, 1979 (69)


#96 SO MANY WAYS OF DYING

So many ways of dying--
     And still so little choice!
I have a say in how I live.
     In death I have no voice.

If sugar doesn't get me,
     Perhaps the freeway will;
Or I may die from someone's glance;
     I've heard that looks can kill.

My heart may fail in beating,
     Or I may lose my breath.
Perhaps I'll die of rare disease,
     Or just be bored to death.

But if I had my choosing,
     I'd simply go to bed
And fall asleep one summer night,
     Wake up next morning. . .dead.

April 18, 1980 (96)


#306 NEVER SAY DIE

Never say "die" and never say "dead."
No matter the facts, let "death" be unsaid,
     And never say "die;" no, never say "die."

Avoid stating truth, let people "pass on"
Or "give up the ghost" or simply be "gone,"
     But never say "die;" no, never say "die."

You always can say you "lost" a good friend,
Bemoan your "late" partner's "untimely end,"
     But never say "die;" no, never say "die."

Just let folks "expire" or slowly "decease"
Or find out they're finally "resting in peace,
     But never say "die;" no, never say "die."

Never say "die" and never say "dead."
No matter the facts, let "death" be unsaid,
     And never say "die;" no, never. . ."die."

‘Magic Carpet’ In Sight Soon
Southwestern Jewish Press, April 14, 1950, page 1

The ‘Magic Carpet’ will fly in San Diego on Sunday, April 30th, when volunteer workers of the United Jewish Fund knock on doors to give every Jewish family in San Diego the opportunity to ride the privileged route of “giving so that others may live.”

According to Morris Douglas, chairman of that day, it is expected that over 200 workers will contact a minimum of 1200 people for their 1950 contribution to the “Keep the Miracle Alive Campaign.”

Prospects will be urged to stay home on that Sunday until they have assumed their responsibility by making their contribution to the Magic Carpet.

Organizations which have responded with workers to date are: Birdie Stodel Chapter, Samuel I. Fox Lodge, San Diego Lasker Lodge, and Bay City Chapter of B’nai B’rith. Also Tifereth Israel Sisterhood, National Council of Jewish Women, Jewish Labor Committee, Jewish War Veterans Post and auxiliary, Tifereth Israel Men’s Club, Beth Jacob Congregation, Hebrew Home for the Aged Auxiliary, Masada, Pioneer Juniors, Yo-Ma-Co, Hadassah, J.C.R.A. and Temple Beth Israel Sisterhood.

Women’s Division of U.J.F. Begins Drives for Funds—Plan Luncheons
Southwestern Jewish Press, April 14, 1950, page 1

“How important are you?” will be the theme of the one large luncheon of the Woman’s Division of the United Jewish Fund, to be held Thursday noon, April 27, at the El Cortez Hotel.

“Women are important,” says Mrs.Selma Getz, Chairman of the Women’s Division, “and we will prove they are important.  Upon the Women’s gifts, in addition to the Men’s, depends a better future for all of our people in Israel,” she said.

In stressing attendance at the one large luncheon for all of the Jewish women in San Diego, Mrs. Getz and her key workers emphasize the importance of this one day of giving.

An advanced gift luncheon on April 18, given by Mrs. Getz at the El Cortez Hotel, will set the pace for the one big luncheon which every Jewish woman in San Diego is expected to attend.

Ida Nasatir will be the principal speaker at both luncheons.  She will be saying “goodbye for a while” to her friends, since she and Dr. Nasatir will be leaving in early June for Europe.

“Adventures in Jewish History” is sponsored by Inland Industries Group LP in memory of long-time San Diego Jewish community leader Marie (Mrs. Gabriel) Berg. Our indexed "Adventures in San Diego Jewish History" series will be a daily feature until we run out of history.
