T'RUMAH

Moses is commanded by God to construct a portable Sanctuary in accordance with detailed instructions about its size, its materials, and the various ancillary ritual objects with which it is to be furnished. For these purposes the people were asked to make a free-will offering (Terumah) of metals, fabrics, skins, wood, precious stones, oil and spices.

The outer court of the Sanctuary was a rectangular structure without a roof that was surrounded by curtains. It contained an altar for burnt offerings and a washstand for the priests. All Israelites could enter this area.

The Tabernacle was divided into two sections, separated by a veil. Only priests were permitted to enter this area. It contained an altar for incense, the seven-branched Menorah and a table for the showbread.

The inner chamber of the Tabernacle, the Holy of Holies, contained the Ark of the Covenant; the high priest was accorded access, but only on Yom Kippur.

Our sidra provides specific instructions about the design of each of these structures and their furnishings.

On Tuesday afternoon the US Senate passed the Strengthening America's Security in the Middle East Act of 2019 (S.1) in a bipartisan vote of 77-23. Senator Menendez voted for it; Senator Booker voted against it. Among the 7 declared or likely Democratic presidential contenders, only Sen Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota voted for it. The entire Democratic caucus voted 25-22 in favor of the bill. Getting a majority of the Democratic caucus to support it is considered a victory by AIPAC, and burnishes the non-partisan group's image. Democratic opponents, most of whom have no objection to funding aid for Israel (which is a part of the bill), have problems with the anti-BDS provisions, which they claim impinge on freedom of speech for boycotters.

Included in this bill is one of the most forward-leaning security packages for Israel ever adopted by the United States - authorizing $38 billion in security assistance (the 10-year

Memorandum of Understanding negotiated under Pres. Obama) and missile defense cooperation over the next decade. It also authorizes new U.S.-Israel cooperation in areas like anti-drone technologies and space exploration. This will help keep Israel safe for years to come. The bill also includes a critical measure to combat the BDS movement, clarifying that states have the authority to pass their own anti-BDS laws and to withhold state contracts from companies boycotting Israel.

Sen. Marco Rubio: The Truth about BDS and the Lies about My Bill

Myths and Facts About the Combating BDS Act

In recent weeks, there has been much misinformation about the Combating BDS Act (CBA), an important bipartisan bill which would simply clarify that U.S. states have the authority to act against commerce- or investment-related boycotts targeting Israel without fear that they are preempting federal authority.

These mischaracterizations take advantage of the hyper-charged partisan environment to promulgate baseless slogans and pure disinformation while rarely addressing the specifics of the bill.

To help clear things up, four common myths on the issue are debunked below:

MYTH #1 : The Combating BDS Act restricts free speech.

FACT : Nothing in this bill restricts constitutionally protected free speech. The text of the bill, in Sec. 405, specifically notes that "Nothing in this title shall be construed to infringe upon any right protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States." The legislation only covers corporations' commerce- or investment-related activities in the course of interstate or international commerce. The bill would not impact companies that simply express their opposition to Israel or Israeli policies. It is well-established that Congress may impose regulations barring compliance with foreign boycotts that conflict with U.S. legislative or foreign policy interests, without running afoul of the First Amendment. Likewise, Congress may also restrict the information Americans can provide to foreign governments with respect to foreign boycotts. See: Trane Co. v. Baldrige, 552 F. Supp. 1378 (W.D. Wis. 1983) and Briggs and Stratton Corp. v. Baldrige, 728 F.2d 915 (7th Cir. 1984).

This bill does not and cannot abridge Americans' right to free speech or their right to sue states for perceived violations of First Amendment rights.

MYTH #2 : The bill will negatively impact individuals' right to boycott or criticize Israel.

FACT : The bill in no way impedes the right of any American to boycott or criticize Israel. The law does not even apply to individuals. The law only recognizes that state and local governments may adopt certain policies related to corporations, companies, business associations, partnerships or trusts without the concern that federal law in any way preempts the state and local governments' ability to do so. Corporations are free to express their opposition to Israeli policies, as mentioned above.

Individuals who choose to personally boycott Israel or express support for boycott efforts would clearly not be subject to the law.

The Combating BDS Act does not limit the rights of individuals-including those acting as government contractors-to personally engage in boycotts of Israel. Such contractors can refuse to buy Israeli goods or do business with Israel in their private capacity, so long as they do not discriminate against or limit commercial relations with Israel or persons doing business in Israel while in their professional capacity.

MYTH #3 : The Combating BDS Act would "encourage" states to pass anti-BDS laws.

FACT : This is an utter mischaracterization of what the bill does. The CBA simply clarifies that states have the right to pass such laws, if they so choose, without preempting federal authority. In fact, for years, without the CBA in effect, more than two-dozen states have already passed such laws. Specifically, the bill notes in Sec. 402(a) [emphasis added] that "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a State or local government may adopt and enforce [these] measures". The use of the word "may"-as opposed to "must," "should," etc.-makes clear that those who claim the bill "encourages" states to pass anti-BDS laws are either misleading or misinformed.

MYTH #4 : States have no authority to combat boycotts of the Jewish state.

FACT : The United States Supreme Court has held that a state government may exercise its discretion in selectively funding programs, without running afoul of the Constitution. The converse is also true-a state government may choose not to fund or subsidize activities of companies whose actions are at variance with state law or policy. Likewise, U.S. courts have long held that the government, as an employer, exercises wide discretion and control over those who contract with it and may limit the activities of those contractors in the interest of achieving the government's goals. The CBA is not the first instance in which the federal government has acknowledged a state's inherent powers to divest from companies acting contrary to legislative policy. In fact, the CBA mirrors a provision within current federal law-the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (CISADA)-which clarifies that state governments may divest from companies invested in Iran's energy sector.

Conclusion: Congress should take up and pass the Combating BDS Act as quickly as possible. This important bipartisan bill seeks both to protect states against claims they are preempting federal authority and to demonstrate Congress' strong support for state measures consistent with Congress' historic commitment to oppose boycotts of Israel.

The Combating BDS Act has attracted widespread bipartisan support and was cosponsored in the previous Congress by the current Senate leaders of both parties, as well as the current Chairman and Ranking Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Senate Finance Committee, along with many other members from both parties and in both chambers.

How Anti-BDS Laws Went Viral

U.S. Voters Show Little Enthusiasm for Boycotting Israel

President Trump on Anti-Semitism in the State of the Union address

We will not avert our eyes from a regime that chants death to America and threatens genocide against the Jewish people. We must never ignore the vile poison of anti-Semitism, or those who spread its venomous creed. With one voice, we must confront this hatred anywhere and everywhere it occurs.

Just months ago, 11 Jewish-Americans were viciously murdered in an anti-Semitic attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh....

And consistent with that:

U.S. Embassy Closes Booth at Cairo Book Fair over Anti-Semitism on Display at Egyptian Booth

Commenting on the SOTU

Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard tweeted: "I applaud the president for standing up against anti-Semitism. Now we should all stand up against religious and racial bigotry of all kinds."

A second tweet read: "I visited the Auschwitz concentration camp and it is an experience I will never, ever forget. The world must never forget the genocide that the Jewish people suffered. Only then can we appreciate how necessarily it is to never allow such a thing to ever happen again.

Tonight: Evening service at 7:00 p.m.

Tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m.

Tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 p.m.

During Seudah Shlishit we will read suspend our reading of Michelle Alexander's op-ed on advocating for Palestine (we only got through one page) to examine what apartheid really means, and in so doing to refute some of Alexander's chief assertions.

We will re-read two previous Shabbat afternoon articles: Why Israel Is Nothing Like Apartheid South Africa by Benjamin Pogrund (2017) and Richard Goldstone's (yes, that Richard Goldstone) Israel and the Apartheid Slander (2011). These essays, both of which were also NYT op-eds, will also help us to understand just how false were the accusations made by the protesters outside Carnegie Hall at the Israel Philharmonic performance last Sunday.

Fridman Gallery New York, NY

Dana Levy's two-channel video installation The Weight of Things depicts the interiors of two rooms of the Palace of Versailles - the bedroom of Louis XIV and Salle de Constantine - in the midst of an earthquake. Taking 19th century etchings of the rooms as source material, Levy separates and animates the intricate details: sculptures, tiny wall moldings, picture frames, furniture, balustrades. One-by-one, the elements tremble and crumble to the floor, as if brought down by the thunderous raucous of the accompanying soundtrack. The lavish interiors, symbolic of absolute monarchy and military expansion, are thus reduced to heaps of rubble surrounded by starkly bared walls.
