THIS FRIDAY: TBE VETS SALUTE
Come hear their stories
| |
BY JACK MILLROD
TBE NEWS EDITOR
From my father-in-law, Col. Richard B. Fredey, who fought in World War I and again in World War II, to Julian Fox, an active duty Coastguardsman following in the footsteps of his father the paratrooper, the brave members of our extended temple family who proudly wore the uniforms of the American armed forces each brought home remarkable stories.
This Friday evening's very special Shabbat service will salute these veterans and share the stories of more than 20 who served in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and Marines. You'll hear how Irving Hersh, Mark's dad, worked at Allied airfields in Europe keeping B17 and B25 bombers flying during World War II. You'll hear how Jack Leventhal, father of Marsha Myers, fought in the Battle of the Bulge. You'll learn about Rolf Wartenberg, uncle of Akiva Wharton, who interrogated Hermann Goering at Nuremberg, and how Michael Perrin fought in Vietnam. And you'll find out how Scott Petritsch, brother-in-law of Matt Fox, took custody of the head of Saddam Hussein's fallen statue in Iraq.
"We are looking forward to this occasion and hope many of you will join us to honor those who served with pride," says Rick Grossman, who learned to throw grenades at Fort Dix, NJ, in the '70s when he was in the Army.

IN THE TORAH
By Rabbi Helayne Shalhevet
Toldot, Genesis 25:19 – 28:9
The newly wedded Isaac and Rebecca become parents to Esau and Jacob. Esau emerges first and grows up to be a hunter, a man of the field, favored by Isaac. Jacob emerges clutching Esau’s heel and grows up to be a tent-dweller and scholar, favored by Rebecca. Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a pot of stew. Later, when Isaac has grown old and blind, Rebecca helps Jacob devise a successful plan to help Jacob procure a blessing from his father intended for the firstborn.
What do we learn from this portion today? Family dynamics can be challenging. The temptation to take sides is great. Shalom bayit, peace in the home, is one of the main values espoused by Judaism. Our goal is to resist the temptation to take sides. We strive to do all we can to bring family together with the goal of shalom bayit, peace in the home, and in our hearts.
