More Stories of Hollywood Temple Beth El at 100!

New Year of the Trees ( Observed Jan. 17) Yes, this is better than Groundhog’s Day!
Punxsutawney Phil may or may not see his proverbial shadow–but Tu B’Shvat is always a sign of spring around the corner!

We’ll take a break from high-minded discussions and go to fruit for thought to mark the New Years of the Trees with visual and musical treats. Provide your own dried fruits, please. Music, dance, visuals presented throughout the Shabbat Morning service, beginning at 10:00 AM.
Tu B’Shvat in ancient times was identified as the date for marking the fruit of trees that were offered as the first fruits in the Temple. It became associated with the mystical visions of the Redemption and then of the physical rebirth of the Land of Israel in modern times.

Jan 22-to be announced

Jan. 29– As we mark 100 years to our official founding, we invite a dear friend of HTBE, Rabbi Jerry Cutler , to regale us with his personal stories of some Jewish favorite figures of the entertainment world. Rabbi Cutler founded the first synagogue run by and for people in the entertainment world, and continues to lead the Creative Arts Temple, which, at one time,
was hosted by HTBE.

Shabbat Discussion Topics:

January 8- Are we suffering from ” Gevalt” or” Head in the Sand” syndromes? 

In advance of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, Day- a discussion on ethnic and racial divisions today with Richard Hirschhaut of the American Jewish Committee. Discussion will start at 11:45 AM.
AJC recently issued a poll, showing a rising number of Jews concerned about anti-Semitism. Conversely, the survey was denounced as exaggeration by an op-ed writer for the Jewish  Forward .
Are we suffering from ” Gevalt” or” Head in the Sand” syndromes? 

Hirschhaut is chief strategist and principal spokesperson in advancing AJC’s global advocacy mission in Southern California. AJC is considered the “dean of American Jewish organizations.” He has been involved for over 30 years in civil rights, humanitarian, and Jewish communal advocacy, serving in senior professional roles across the U.S. with the Anti-Defamation League, Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, and American Friends of Rambam Medical Center.

Just a little over a century ago, British Lord Balfour established a commitment to an internationally recognized Jewish homeland. Now, 73 years after the independence of that homeland for the Jewish people, Israel, there is still the unresolved issue of an entity for the Palestinians. Two-State Solution or One-State Solution or just Muddling-Along; are there alternatives. That is what Emanuel Shahaf is proposing with his concept of a federation .

Emanuel Shahaf brings with him impressive credentials: he served in the office of the Prime Minister from 1989 till 2003, has been building Israeli business relations with Indonesia, and has been a member of Israel’s Labor Party Central Committee. Since 2014 Emanuel promotes a Federation as a realistic approach to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians in the Land of Israel, serves as Co-chair of the federation movement  www.federation.org.il and is council member at www.israelimovement.co.il
He has published a book on this issue, Identity: The Quest for Israel’s Future (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083XTHMLK?pf_rd_r=XMN01QJZH6WBYN7M72YN&pf_rd_p=6fc81c8c-2a38-41c6-a68a-f78c79e7253f)
A summary of his proposal was published in the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles this past March ( https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/334108/if-israel-and-palestine-wont-separate-let-them-federate/).  As the article sums up:  If we look beyond the failed Oslo peace framework, there are alternatives with the potential to succeed.
The interview will be conducted with Mr Shahaf on-line. Services are held in person at the Temple.

“I Am Not A Marxist” Karl Marx-This Shabbat discussion examines how an irascible philosopher and journalist created a theory of world history that offered unbelievable hope to the world’s oppressed masses, and with it, unbelievable destruction. Karl Marx, the grandson of Rabbis, builds his theory of communism on a foundation of disdain for his fellow Jews.)

Future Shabbat Services- we will continue with our themes of “Great Jewish Thinkers” :with Freud and Einstein who blow up all our conceptions of the world, then to  Martin Buber-Rosenzweig-Heschel-Kaplan who all give expression to Judaism for a newly disrupted world, and unsung pioneers of the women in modern Jewish life, Trude Weiss-Rosmarin and Rabbi Regina Jonas.
