More than 45 years ago, erev
the Six-Day War, composer
Naomi Shemer submitted
“Jerusalem of Gold” in the
1967 Israel Song Festival.
The song and the liberation of
Jerusalem are linked inextri-
cably in our hearts and souls,
then and now. I am quite sure
you know the tune as we use
it on Shabbat for various
prayers.
Some 46 years ago, May 13,
1967, Nasser ordered the
withdrawal of U.N. Emergency
Forces, which had been pre-
serving the peace along Is-
rael’s border with the Sinai,
Gaza and the southern Straits
of Tiran. May 20, 1967, at
the active encouragement of
their Soviet sponsors, Nassar
defiantly moved seven bri-
gades, two armored brigades,
100,000 soldiers and 1,000
tanks into those vacated bor-
der positions. May 27, 1967,
Nassar closed the Straits of
Tiran to Israel shipping, block-
ading Eilat.
Forty six years ago, Israel was
surrounded by 250,000
troops, 2,000 modern tanks
and more than 700 fighter
planes, and the world was
silent as Israel was threat-
ened with annihilation. June
5, 1967, Chief of Staff, Yitz-
chak Rabin authorized a pre-
emptive strike against Syria,
Jordan, Iraq and Jordan, de-
stroying 391 planes on the
ground and 60 in the air. It
was the first day of the Six-
Day War.
That same morning, June 5,
General Odd Bull of the
United Nations carried a mes-
sage from Israel to King Hus-
sein of Jordan, advising him
that Israel had no design on
Jordan if the Israel-Jordan
front remained quiet. June 5,
1967, King Hussein opened
fire on Israel, shelling Jerusa-
lem and Israeli cities, towns
and villages all the way to
suburbs of Tel Aviv.
Forty six years ago, June 7,
1967, Israeli Colonel Mordek-
hai Gur attacked through the
Lion’s Gate, and by 10:15
A.M., the blue and white flag
of Israel was raised over the
Temple Mount and the West-
ern Wall. Jerusalem was re-
united once again and be-
came the most well-known
symbol of Israel’s victory in
the Six- Day War.
Naomi Shemer’s composi-
tion, “Yerushalayim shel za-
hav,” became the hymn of
the Six-Day War. The melody
of “Jerusalem of Gold” be-
came such a part of Jewish
feelings that many congre-
gants from then, until now,
have chanted our sacred lit-
urgy to that stirring, haunting
motif, especially for occasions
that relate to Israel and Jeru-
salem.
Forty six years ago, another
song of Jerusalem was born,
as Israeli paratroopers liber-
ated the Old City, hand to
hand, house by house, alley
way by street.
Its story should also not be
forgotten. As the war contin-
ued to roar on other fronts
and even while the narrow
streets of the Old City were
still damp with blood, the Is-
raeli forces gathered in the
amphitheatre on Mount Sco-
pus to celebrate. On a make-
shift stage, Israel’s top stars
performed, Songs from Is-
rael’s history, ancient and
modern, rang through the cool
air of the night. Finally, as
Naomi Shermer sang her
“Jerusalem of Gold,” one of
the paratroopers rose from his
seat at the urging of his com-
rades and came forward to
the microphone to sing his
own version of Yerushalayim.”
The melody was the same,
and the rhythm and meter
was indeed Shemer’s song.
But this young soldier, Meir
Ariel, sang of the Jerusalem he
and his comrades had come
to know during the battle for
reunification, “Yerushalayim
shel barzel,” a Jerusalem of
steel and brass, of lead and
fire, of bitter fighting and
friends who will never em-
brace their comrades again in
life. Two sets of lyrics, two
ideas, both sharing the same
melody, one was a dream and
one was a nightmare, sharing
the same faith and destiny.

Message from the Board President OVS: Better than JDate!
If you are single, here is the deal: OVS is better than JDate!
While JDate can work for some, coming to OVS also can reward you in finding your soul mate.
In order for your chances to increase, here is a recipe for success: come to services, do
Tzedakah (pay your dues, donate,...), pray with faith, come to events, bring friends (singles!),
pray a little bit more,...stay for Kiddush (this is really important). Then, when you see an
attractive person (check for rings to make sure he /she is single), go introduce yourself.
Shy? Need some help? Ask the rabbi or, better, ask the President.
For your chances to increase, come more often!
At OVS you can have full service: besides finding your pair and having your ceremony,
do your party here. It worked extremely well for us and I wanted to acknowledge the great work all at OVS did, especially
Lynne, who made sure her first wedding event was successful. As an extra perk, your first year membership as a married
couple is on us.
I look forward to seeing you at the Kehilah. There's someone else waiting for you here. Just show up! Regularly. It works
not only for Presidents and Vice-presidents (lol). It can also work for you! In your 20's, 40's, 60's or 80's!
Jokes aside, Passover is now behind us (we left Egypt) and we are now counting down the days to celebrate receiving the
Torah.
Tamar and I wish you and your families Chag Shavuot Sameach.
Guy Harari
when the instruments of war
will be transformed into the
tools of peace.
However, the lyrics also speak
to our hearts today, no less
than they did forty six years
ago. “We have returned to the
wells of water, to the market
and the square, the Shofar
calls on the Temple Mount, in
the Old City...”
The People Israel has returned
to the land, and the sound of
the Shofar is heard once
again in the Old City. May its
sound never cease to stir our
souls as it did then ; may we
be the instruments through
which Israel’s song will always
be heard.
Chag Sameach to you and to
Yerushalayim!
Amen.
Rabbi Hayyim Kassorla
Even in exile, the Jews
dreamed and prayed to re-
turn, to restore the land and
rebuild their holy city of Jeru-
salem. Then Ezra and Nehe-
miah did so, with encourage-
ment from Cyrus of Persia,
and once again Israel lived
with a capital in Jerusalem for
centuries until once again
Rome destroyed her in 70
C.E., becoming once again
only a dream and a prayer.
After almost 2,000 years, we
have been privileged to see
Jerusalem and the modern
State of Israel come into be-
ing, fulfilling hopes and daily
prayers.
As we commemorate the an-
niversary of Israel’s victory
and her survival, we pray for
Jerusalem and Israel. We
hope that our young Jewish
men and women will never
have to sing again,
“Jerusalem of Steel,” but only
“Yerushalayim shel zahav.”
There has always been this
tension between the Jerusa-
lem of peace, our idealized
legends, and the Jerusalem of
reality and conflict, of dispute
and war. It is not just a mod-
ern phenomenon.
From antiquity, Jerusalem was
a prized defensible military
fortress for which nations
went to war for countless cen-
turies. After each war, new
layers of walls and towers to
defend the victor’s new city
were built upon ashes, debris
and rubble of the conquered
city. When King David de-
feated the Jebusites, some
3,000 years ago, the city of
David became, “Ir shel sha-
lom,” “Jerusalem,” the city of
Israel’s whole-ness, the sym-
bol of nationhood, the capital
for its government forever. In
that place, his son Solomon
built the Temple in which Jews
prayed until it was destroyed
by the Babylonians 2,600
years ago.
Message from the Rabbi (cont.)
Since our last Chai -lites issue, I'm happy to
report that Sisterhood continued its wonder-
ful tradition of a successful annual Donor
Luncheon.
But really, that is an understatement. Jackie
Benveniste, our donor chair this year, with
Janet Galanti, our donor consultant, and their
hardworking committee planned an after-
noon that was perfect in every way.
The social hall was awash in red and lunch
was delicious. Betty Israel and Sarah Duwell
were our deserving honorees, and Monica
Pearson was an inspiring guest speaker.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and for
the efforts of the volunteers, for a memora-
ble program.
In the ongoing news department, we have
continued to bake on Tuesdays (except for a
3 week Passover break). Elise Meyer is grate-
ful that all Bazaar orders are filled and the
freezer shelves are beginning to fill with
boxes of burekas.
At the last congregation Board meeting,
Rabbi Kassorla noted that Passover is the
time for us to remember G-d's blessing of
freedom from slavery for the Jewish People. I
personally feel grateful for G-d's blessings of
a strong sisterhood with a devoted and loving
membership.
Mazel Tov to our congregation President Guy
Harari and sisterhood Vice-President of or-
ganization, Tamar Amar on their marriage!!
We wish the beautiful couple a lifetime of
happiness together.
Please come share your Tuesdays with us,
and be on the lookout for details on our up-
coming closing luncheon and installation!
All my best,
Michelle Rich

“On behalf of the City of Brookhaven (and the 4th Dis-
trict), I want to thank you again for your hospitality.
You were all so gracious and kind and we are all very appreciative. A picture of the synagogue is on our City
website. Many people who otherwise would never have
even thought of entering Or VeShalom were amazed at the size and the beauty of it all, and all enjoyed the
Rabbi's history lesson and invocation.
My objective is to expose our new City residents to the
many cultural richness we are so blessed to have - and last Tuesday certainly achieved that goal. I look for-
ward to a future repeat performance. “
Joe Gebbia, Brookhaven City Council
“A little bird brought in 77 pounds of food from
OVS this week. What a clever idea to use mac &
cheese as groggers. I think I am going to use
that idea next year when talking to my synagogue groups that collect food for us. Last year, the
food pantry gave out over 5,450 pounds of food to over 1,525 persons in 860 households. We
could not do it without you. “

A visit with
dear friends
Message from Alan Simon:
“Just before Pesach I was
asked to make a business
trip to Richmond on the
second day of Passover,
March 26. I resigned my
self to the assignment and
made my reservations. It occurred to me that Rick and Sao Berkowitz
moved to Richmond a year ago. I made contact with Rick and he invited
me to Seder at their synagogue in Richmond. It was so nice to connect
with the Berkowitz family once again. Although Alexandra was at college,
Mariele joined us. Rick is a health media Executive, Sao is Director of
anesthesia at a local surgical center and Mariele is a junior in high
school. They live in a renovated Craftsman home in an attractive in-town
neighborhood. Contact Rick at: rick@mcclinticmedia.com. “ A few photos from
Purim Palooza 2013!
