Rabbi Frank Muller
This month we celebrate the holiday of Purim with a community-wide event at Temple El Emeth on Wednesday evening, March 20th. Last year, the first ro-tation of the three festivals of Hannukah, Purim and Sukkot jointly observed by our congregation, El Emeth and Ohev Tzedek turned out to be a rousing success. It was wonderful to have the entire Jewish community come together at each synagogue to observe these special days. Purim, with its costumes, noisemakers, revelry and the shouts of children playfully drowning out the name of Haman each time it is read from the Megillah, is a joy-ous celebration of our survival against the evil forces that sought to destroy us. Underneath the surface of frivolity, however, is the very serious theme of antisemitism and the dangers it poses to the Jewish people. Beyond the time period and place in history when the Purim story took place (4th century BCE Persia, which is now Iran), Purim teaches us that antisemitism must be called out, confronted and condemned whenever and wherever it is encountered, without exception. While the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has tracked the number of anti-Semitic incidents in America for decades, it is only within the last two years that this insidious disease has seen a significant increase in the form of verbal insults and physical attacks on the Jews in our country.

From a widening presence of the Alt-Right on the Internet, to their leap to the real world of flesh, blood and tears at the Unite the Right March in Charlottesville, Vir-ginia, in August of 2017. From the utterance of old anti-Semitic canards by white supremacist nationalists on the fringes, to the ugly anti-Zionist pronouncements made by two freshman Congresswomen in recent months since they took office, it seems anti-Semitic tropes have gained a new acceptance and respectability in American society. This is the argument that Jonathan Weisman makes in his insightful new book, Semitism: Being Jewish in America in the Age of Trump. In the aftermath of the tragedy in Pittsburgh, where eleven worshippers praying at the Tree of Life Synagogue were brutally and callously gunned down last October, constituting the worst act of anti-Semitic violence in American history, along with two temples in Ohio that were recently threatened and vandalized (in Toledo and Lima, respectively), is there any doubt that the floodgates of Jew hatred have opened, releasing a torrent of evil that threatens to engulf our nation and chew away at the mor-al fabric of our society. Sadly, according to an annual sur-vey released just days ago by the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER, the number of hate groups active in the USA rose to its highest level in two decades last year. There is no shortage of hate-mongers, be they neo-NAZIS, racist skinheads, white supremacists, or others who direct their anger at Jews, immigrants, gays and les-bian individuals, Muslims and others. Yes, dear friends, we unfortunately live in danger-ous times. We can ill afford to be complacent, and must be pro-active in taking extra precautions to protect our-selves while praying in Temple. We must not be passive when it comes to confronting anti-Semitic barbs against the Jews, whether in the private sphere or the public do-main. This is the lesson that Queen Esther teaches us in the Purim story---to fight for the right to be accepted, re-spected and connected---as members of the Jewish faith and as staunch supporters of the State of Israel. Like our children participating in the Purim service, we must shout down the would-be Hamans of the world, who only seek to bolster themselves by discrediting, demoralizing and delegitimizing not only Jews, but anyone who is dif-ferent and/or who differs in their view of a white-washed, Christian American. A Happy Purim to one and all!

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dear Congregants, Due to a very busy schedule and the constraints of time, my message this month is brief. Recently I attended a fun family bowling event sponsored by the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown and organized by Gon Erez, its Is-raeli Education and Outreach Coordinator. I took special notice of one of the participants, Violet Rawl, and recalled she would be having her bat mitzvah this year. When I looked at my calendar and found the date for it, the calcu-lation of time my brain made between that present mo-ment and the nearness of the date scheduled for that spe-cial rite created for me (and what has been happening to me on a more frequent basis) not just an intellectual awareness of the passage of time, but much more pro-foundly – an emotional awareness of it. Or as Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (who historical scholars say was befriended by the great Torah scholar and leader Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi) more artfully put it: “Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone – those that are now and those to come. Existence flows past us like a river: the ‘what’ is in constant flux, the ‘why’ has a thou-sand variations. Nothing is stable, not even what’s right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us – a chasm whose depths we cannot see.” Congratulations to Violet Rawl and all of her family! L’shalom and respectfully, Aaron Hively President Board of Trustees Congregation Rodef Sholom

Violet, a seventh grader at Akiva Academy, is the oldest of five siblings. She was named for her great grandmother, and was coincidently born in Violet Township, Ohio. Violet loves to read. She also enjoys writing, music, and being with her friends. A member of National Honor Socie-ty, and Lego Robotics, Violet enjoys learning new things. Violet studies guitar, plays soccer, and is on the JCC swim team.
Daughter of Michael and Adrienne Rawl of Liberty, Violet is the grand-daughter of Michael and Teresa Tomlinson of Cortland and Bob and Kandy Rawl of Howland.
Violet enjoys experiencing the world and has been everywhere from Mt. Rainer in Washington state to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colo-
rado to Arcadia in Maine. Last summer, she visited Ireland with her grandparents.
Violet attended summer camp at Olin Sang Ruby Union Institute, a URJ camp in Wiscon-sin. Violet looks forward to her next break from school. Her parents would describe her as kind, intelligent , and empathetic, with a strong ability to connect with people on their level. She is patient and attentive with her younger siblings, Ivy, Thomas, Lawren and Ju-niper, and a huge help at home.
We invite you to celebrate with us as Violet is called to the Torah for her Bat Mitzvah on March 9, 2019 at 10am

As a postscript to Rabbi Muller’s Rosh Hashanah morning sermon
on The Happiness Prayer, 10 spiritual practices which emanate
from this prayer will be published in the bulletin from November
through March, with each month featuring two practices.
Hava’at shalom bein adam l’chavero—Making Peace
Among Human Beings
This wisdom practice appears to be advocating that we try to be peacemakers. I
have seen situations where relatives or friends had not communicated with each other
in years, and other members of the family or a mutual friend intervened and got them
speaking again. Sometimes the estranged parties were elderly and when one of them
sadly passed away at least they were on good terms again. So being a peacemaker is a
positive thing. It doesn’t always work, of course, but when it does, it truly makes a dif-
ference.
This wisdom practice, however, is really about peacemaking directly between two
people, one of whom has hurt the other in some way. We call this forgiveness. Juda-
ism places a high value on people forgiving each other, but recognizes that forgiveness
is not always easy to achieve.
There are obstacles which get in the way. Many people have issues with for-
giveness, which unfortunately stem from a lack of understanding as to what for-
giveness really is from a Jewish standpoint. In financial terms, when a bank loan is
forgiven, our balance sheet is clear. We don’t owe any money. So we might assume
forgiveness in our relationships means clearing the slate. But in Judaism forgiveness
involves much more. More than an apology which some people mistakenly think is
enough, forgiveness requires the perpetrator to accept responsibility for their actions,
repent for their misdeeds, and most importantly, resolve not to repeat the behavior in
the future. True repentance also includes remorse along with regret. Only this atti-
tude on the part of the sinner will lead to true forgiveness on the part of the one being
asked to forgive. It is not appeasement. It is reconciliation. Forgiving does not mean
forgetting. What it does mean is letting go of the past so that the aggrieved party can
move on with their life and not be emotionally crippled by continuing anger, resent-
ment, and a desire for revenge. What it also means is that the one who committed the
wrong can be relieved of the tremendous guilt that weighs them down. This leaves an
increased sense of well-being and inner peace—another form of happiness.
