Tragedy in Brooklyn
Seven Jewish siblings, aged 5 to 16, died in a Brooklyn house last Shabbat after a hot
plate malfunctioned during the night. The blaze was the worst in New York since a 2007
fire took the lives of 10 West African immigrants, nine of them children. The mother and
one 15-year-old daughter survived by jumping from an upper floor; the father was away
at a conference at the time. Please, everybody, love your child, love others children, said
Gabriel Sassoon, the father. Thats all that counts. Understand them, dont negate them.

Never forget
Buddy Elias, the cousin of Anne Frank and guardian of her legacy, passed away on
March 16 at the age of 89. For more than three decades, Elias, who stopped a company
from producing Anne Frank jeans and refused to cede rights to her diary for a Spanish
musical recalling her plight, headed the charity named after Frank and fought to ensure
that her legacy would never be forgotten.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, the local Jewish coffee tycoon, is the man behind Starbucks controversial race together campaign, in which baristas are encouraged to engage
customers in conversation about race relations in the U.S. At a March 18 meeting, Schultz
addressed the campaign, saying, Race is an unorthodox and even uncomfortable topic
where others see costs, risks, excuses and hopelessness, we see and create pathways of
opportunity that is the role and responsibility of a for-profit, public company.

student, has become a leader since causing uproar among the faculty in 2013 after posting a survey on Facebook to learn about Modern Orthodox attitudes to sex. The student
body largely supported her. Also in 2008, Joy Ladin, the first male-to-female trans professor at Stern College, the universitys womens institution, was allowed back on campus

Thus, The Jewish Transcript is launched. Whether it will continue its mission of

As the final chapter of this 91-year-old newspaper comes to an end, I would like
to express my heartfelt gratitude to the board and staff of The Jewish Sound (a.k.a.
JTNews and The Jewish Transcript) for its unwavering support and commitment
through the good times as well as the difficult ones in providing the Jewish community of Washington with balanced reporting of all things affecting the members of our
region. I would also like to thank the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle for its support, both financial and emotional, during this time and especially in the recent years. As
a board, we look back fondly on our involvement with the newspaper, but we also are
look forward to the new glossy magazine publication that will debut later this summer.
We thank you for your support for the newspaper over the years and thank you in
advance for your interest in this new, exciting publication.

To our readers and our community,
By the time you read this, Ill be a few days from my title being changed from Publisher and Editor to Last Man Standing, The Jewish Sound. So Id like to say some goodbyes and thank yous while I have you.
Im going to start by saying Lhitraot until we meet again to my venerable
staff. Over the years our little paper has contracted, then contracted some more, but
so many of them stuck it out, always worked hard, and complained little, even in the
face of stressful situations like added work, short deadlines, long hours, and the prospect of their jobs coming to an end long before theyd planned. Thank you all Lynn,
Emily, Andrea, Cheryl, Katy, plus those that came before you for your hard work and
dedication.
The same goes for our freelance stable of writers, many of whom got here even
before I did. Why you stuck around for such crappy pay and assignments that occasionally put your face on dartboards Ill never know, but you turned out some excellent
work of which we can all be proud.
And finally, Id like to thank you, our readers and local Jewish organizations, so many
of whom I worked with over the years as we covered our vibrant and sometimes edgy
community. As a newspaper, we would occasionally celebrate you and occasionally
beat you with a stick. Sometimes those hard questions had to be asked. We wouldnt
be a newspaper if we ignored controversy or turned a blind eye to the occasional ugly
things that went on. Please know that we did so not out of malice, but in the spirit of
making our community the best it can be.
Im not yet sure where I will go from here, but youll see some of the names of our
current staff on the new magazines masthead. Im certain that what comes next will
reflect the growth and dynamic of this not-so-little town we call home.
Again, thank you.
Joel Magalnick
Publisher & Editor, The Jewish Sound
The opinions of our columnists and advertisers do not necessarily reflect the views of The Jewish Sound or the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle.
In general, people think of meditation as something originating exclusively with Eastern religions to seek calm and an inner peace.
But there is a uniquely Jewish meditation tradition that can be traced back to the Prophets.
Rabbi Shmuel Brody of the Ashreichem Yisrael synagogue, who leads weekly sessions on meditation. See the article on page 15.

and supporters to join us on stage to discuss the film. So far none have accepted
our invitation.
The film has come under attack from J
Street leaders and supporters who, while
proclaiming the importance of vigorous discourse and debate in the Jewish
tradition, simultaneously seek to limit
discussion on the subject of J Streets questionable funding and operating methods.
Our film highlights J Streets highly critical
approach to Israels leaders and harsh criticism of the Israeli governments policies.
The J Street Challenge raises concerns
about J Streets founders, donors, policies
and the impact it is having on the Jewish
community and on pro-Israel activities on
college campuses. The film is critical of J
Street marketing efforts that seem intent
to circumvent Israels democratic process
by lobbying the Obama administration to
coerce the Israeli government.
Our film does not question the wellmeaning intentions of most of J Street supporters; it does question the veracity of the
organizations leadership, not unlike what
J Street supporters do to Israels leader-

journey. Here, weve laid out a seder plate in black and white, with the foods in approximately the

third in secular ways. Measures of affiliations are not vastly different from more
established American Jewish communities. Most interestingly, those less affiliated
have not shut out the Jewish community. Forty-five percent of interfaith families are still deciding what religion to raise
their children. Seattles Jewish community
can be characterized by the term dispersity: Were diverse by every measure, dispersed geographically, and discerning in
terms of what we want. How do we serve
such a populace? One way is to invert the
old model of getting Jews into centralized Jewish institutions, and instead find
ways to bring high-quality Jewish offerings
closer to where Seattles Jews reside.
The surprising news is about Jewish povertythe lack of it. Make no mistake, our
wisdom tradition teaches of our sacred
obligation to take care of the needy. Yet
we cannot gloss over findings concerning measures of poverty. Just 2 percent of
households report being poor. Only 4 percent of families with children are earning
less than $50,000 annually. Nearly 90 percent report that they and their families are
in good health. And the vast majority are
reasonably confident they can fund their
retirements. What does this mean? Our
community generously supports human
service agencies such as Jewish Family Service and Kline Galland, and our caring
must certainly continue. However, future
planning must acknowledge our need for
new and additional philanthropic revenue to strengthen the quality of Jewish life
in Seattle.
Bring on Sponge Boychik or in other
words, focus on the kids. About 25 percent of Seattles Jewish community are
children (infant to 18). And while 77 percent of young families say that raising their
children Jewishly is important to them,
participation rates in programs for children are low. Indeed, powerful Jewish
socializers such as Jewish day camp (26
percent), Jewish youth group (23 percent),
and Jewish overnight camp (22 percent) all
show room for significant improvement.
Research by Prof. Mark Rosen of Brandeis
University proves that if you Jewishly
engage families through initiatives for their
children, their connections to Jewish life
will increase and these connections will be
sustainable. As such, focusing on families
with young children is a crucial strategy.
We have to do this together! Like
the five books of the Torah, the 2014
Greater Seattle Community Study
describes what we look like as Jews
and as a people bound to one another at
a unique point in our history. The findings underscore the beauty of our community and the latent potential that we
have yet to realize. What our ancestors discovered during 40 years in the
desert was that no single individual, nor
one single group, was sufficiently prepared to mobilize the Israelites to forge
their future. Instead, they needed a
sense of unity, a sense of common purpose, and a sense of shared beliefs to
enter their promised land. Three thousand years later on lands adjacent to
the Pacific Ocean, our situation is not
so different. The study tells us that we
have remarkable opportunities in Seattle, perhaps more so than in most other
Jewish communities. To realize them,
we must work together, and in so doing
we bestow a gift onto ourselves and onto
the generations of Puget Sound Jewry
to come.
David Chivo is the North America director of Beit
Hatfutsot, the Museum of the Jewish People, in
support of its renewal campaign. Previously, he
served as executive vice president at the Jewish
Federation of Greater Seattle, which
commissioned the community study.

It is based on a play on words. Your
wrath in Hebrew is chamatcha
cham meaning anger, coming from
the word for heat. Love might also be
expressed using the same root, cham
as in warm regards, dash cham.
So, instead of pour out your wrath,
the poem would read cheimah, your
warmth, your love. This addition is so
heartfelt why not incorporate it into
your seder? And if your family has a personal story that involves the protection
of a righteous gentile, this would be a
perfect place to share it with your guests.
It seems we Jews are not so found of
hating. Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach writes
that there is a lot of evil in the world,
evil that needs to be wiped out and eradicated. But you know what I am asking
of God? Please God, if there has to be a
wiping out of evil, let us not be the ones
who are forced to do it. Can You find
a way to destroy the evil in this world?
Please, can You do it? Amen.
Hagaddah altogether.
There are people who love us and
even those who hate us but can we
throw such harsh words at them? he
asks. Yes, there is anti-Semitism even
in our generation but not so low that
we would place such a hateful prayer
before our childrenIt is possible to
have mercy on our enemies, but to hate
them?! It is impossible to hate them and
surely impossible to also drag God in to
the hatred.
The mixed sentiments regarding this
passage go back even earlier. We are not
the first to feel a bit undone by the insertion. Here is this unique counter-addition found in the Worms Haggadah of
1521, attributed to the descendants of
Rashi appreciating the help offered by
righteous gentiles:
Pour out Your love on the nations who
have known You,
and on the kingdoms that call upon
Your name.
For they have shown loving-kindness
to the seed of Jacob,
And they defended Your people Israel
from those who would devour them alive.
May they live to see the sukkah of
peace spread over Your chosen ones,
And to participate in the joy of Your

Passover!
Eggplant Parmesan
2 lb. potatoes
1-1/2 cups potato starch
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp. salt
1 lb. cooked, finely chopped spinach (frozen

hands to eat the matzoh, there is a shortened Hallel (songs of praise). It is smack in
the middle of the Haggadah. Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the Lords name.
May the Lords name be blessed now and
forevermore. We move away from the
heady conversations about why we eat the
paschal lamb, matzoh and maror, and the
meta-values that the Haggadah conveys
with the line In every generation one is
obligated to see oneself as if on had gone out
of Egypt. Instead we sing, dance and offer
gratitude that we have made it this far.
This short Hallel stuck in the middle
of the Haggadah reminds us how important it is to recognize milestones along the
journey. When our tendency is to see how
much farther we need to go, the Haggadah
reminds us to recognize how far we have
come, and to give thanks.
Every day our lives are filled with transitions in small and big ways, from home to
work and then back home again. Crises big
and small happen at these threshold points
kids have breakdowns, adults feel anxiety. These feelings are real because they
reflect that we are heading into unknown
territory. In our daily lives we ritualize these
moments the goodbye kiss, the welcome
home hug. And for our bigger transitions
changing careers, moving houses, leaving a
marriage, or deciding to have a child the
rituals become larger and more complex.
As we approach each of these transitions, let us move from the narrow places,
our personal Egypts, to a place of openness
and expansiveness of the desert. This Passover season beckons you.
Stay tuned!

My gang of pals always called me
Dunderhead. Was it because I refused to
study? Well, that wasnt the only reason.
Truth is I didnt want to study. Who
does? Did they dub me Dunderhead on
account of my wooden head? Maybe.
Truth is, I was a numbskull. Nothing
penetrated, my teacher complained. I
had to work my head to the bone before I
understood anything.
But, on the other hand, my memory,
knock wood, was pretty weak, too. I
couldnt remember a blessed thing. In
one ear, out the other. Absolutely nothing sank in.
get wind of the fact that youre a Dunderhead.... Say, wait a minute, do you know
the holiday Kiddush?
It turned out that I did not. How
should I know it? Remember it from last
year? And this year the second night of
Pesach fell on a Saturday night. Which
made it doubly disastrous! For on that
night one had to recite not only the Kiddush over the wine but also the tricky
Havdoleh, the prayer of separation as
well.
Listen to this:
Blessed art thou, Lord, our God,
King of the universe, who has made a
distinction between the holiness of the
Sabbath and the holiness of the festival; the seventh day above the six working days hast thou exalted; distinguished
and exalted thy people hast thou with thy
holiness.
There you have exalted followed
immediately by distinguished and
exalted.
Some piece of work, eh?
Never mind, said Father. Youll
learn it. You still have three weeks till
Pesach.
But Father wasnt banking on my abilities. He got a Hebrew teacher to study
the Kiddush with me. So that Id get to
know it backwards.
After three weeks I can proudly say I
had the Kiddush down pat. But the Havdoleh still tripped me up. I mean the
Havdoleh itself went like a song. But
only up to a certain point. Up to the
first exalted. From there, things went
haywire. The man who thought up that
prayer apparently had nothing else to
do. So he popped in the word exalted,
and, right at its heels, distinguished and
exalted.
Couldnt he have just used either dis-

can note during your seder that some scholars connect the four cups of wine with the
four mothers: Sarah, Rivka, Rachel and
Leah. After all, the only thing better than one
Jewish mother is four.
5. Honor the women in your life
The four cups of wine are also excellent
opportunities to honor the women in your
own life, both past and present. With each
glass of wine, take a moment to dedicate it
to a woman who has impacted your life in
some way. (Pro tip: If your own mom is in
attendance, you might want to go ahead and
include her.)
6. The four daughters
While were familiar with the story of
the four sons from the traditional Haggadah, why not also give a nod to the four Biblical daughters, a wonderful addition from
A Night To Remember: The Haggadah
of Contemporary Voices, by Mishael and
Noam Zion. The reading shares wisdom
from Miriam, Tamar, Ruth and The Beautiful Captive.
7. Four alternative questions
After reciting the Ma Nishtanah, the traditional Four Questions, take the time to
ask four alternative questions, ones that feel
relevant to you and your family and ignite
discussion. Heres one example to get you
started: What still enslaves us as Jewish
women today, and how do we seek freedom
from our own Pharaohs (or Sheryl Sandbergs, if you will)?
8. Add to the story!
There are many women who play crucial
roles in the Exodus story, yet theyre usually
left out of the retelling. Take some time to
sing their praises:
Shifra and Puah: These two midwives
were respected members of their community. Despite risk of punishment, they
defied the Pharaohs orders and continued
to help deliver baby boys for Jewish women
in Egypt.
Yocheved: Yocheved kept her secret
from the Egyptians, saving Moses life. She
then made the ultimate mothers sacrifice by
sending him down the river her only hope
in saving him from otherwise certain death.
Now theres a birth story to remember.
Batya: Pharaohs daughter found Moses

death marches across vast expanses of European terrain under the harshest conditions.
For me and thousands of other Jews, this
was, as our tour was named, the March of the
Living. We marched together reaffirming am
Yisrael chai the Jewish People live.
In an impactful memorial service at one
of the gas chambers/crematoria in Birkenau,
we concluded with the singing of Hatikvah.
Never have I sung the national anthem of our
State of Israel with such, passion, emotion,
commitment, volume and tears of sadness, anger, joy, hope a spectrum of emotions all different, all at once. I felt our shared
past with all of my senses, being there in
the guts of where the unthinkable took place.
As our El Al flight took off from Poland
to fly to Israel, I felt a dark cloud lift. Our
groups lightened mood was palpable. In
Israel, we celebrated Yom Haatzmaut, Israels Independence Day. As a March participant, I took part in many unique events
organized specifically for us. I learned about
the many challenges that still face this young
country and of the role that we can play in
ensuring that Israel continues to flourish as a
strong, independent and democratic nation.
For as many times as I had been to
Israel, my week there with the March of the
Living was filled with unforgettable experiences. I saw and felt everything in Israel with
renewed appreciation, passion, commitment and support for my country.

In BBYO, the unspoken rules of high school do not apply. All are welcome,
and everyone is made to feel important and included. In this environment,
weekly meetings and events become outlets for teens who shy away from raising their hands in class or joining school clubs.
Because individual interests are encouraged in BBYO, members bring
their passions to
the organization.
Students with interests in art, nature,
community service, politics, event
planning, and so
on have incorporated their passions
into BBYO through
chapter or regional
Sam Swire
programs. Teens

interested in philanthropy create education programs for the Israel Defense Forces and StandWithUs and then hold
fundraisers. Chapters volunteer at local homeless shelters and food banks.
The shift in the organization was not initiated by the international leaders or
corporate staff. Teens throughout the world have led this transition, but it has
been quickly adopted and encouraged by the international leadership. Events
such as J-Serve and Dance Marathon, created by BBYO teens for their respective chapters or regions, have become international movements. The teens who
created J-Serve embraced volunteer service as a rite of passage in Jewish life
and an integral core value. J-Serve has engaged thousands of Jewish teens in
meaningful service opportunities globally since its start in 2005.

dance as a mean to raise awareness and funds for Parkinsons research, a cause
near and dear to Zoe and her family. Thanks to Zoes initiative, BBYO chapters
across the country are holding four 24-hour dance marathons to raise awareness
for causes that teens of the particular community feel strongly about.
Evergreen Region BBYO is carrying both of these initiatives out. Along with
teens from other Seattle-area Jewish youth organizations like NFTY, USY, NCSY
and JSU, J-Serve 2015 is shaping up to be a meaningful day of service. Volunteer options include working with Teen Feed to assemble toiletries for homeless
teens, taking part in the Rainier Beach Preservation project with Seattle Tilth,
and visiting the Caroline Kline Galland home for Bingo with the residents. Teens
in 6th through 8th grade will assemble care boxes with games and blankets for
a local childrens hospital.
Finally, as a member of BBYO myself, I invite you to attend our weekly meetings and regional conventions. This organization has allowed me and countless others to not only find myself, but to explore what I am passionate about.
It is an organization that goes beyond being a Jewish youth group. The BBYO
experience allows teens to come into their own.It has been a valuable experience to be able to work with Jewish teens in the area who feel the same way
about the Jewish organization they belong to, and we invite all Jewish teens to
take part in Seattle J-Serve 2015: Choose Your Own Adventure, which is sure
to set the precedent for the impact Jewish teens can make in their communities, now and into the future.
If you go:
J-Serve takes place Sunday, April 26 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stroum Jewish Community
Center, 3801 E Mercer Way, Mercer Island. It is open to all Jewish teens grades 6 through
12. Teens can choose the project they wish to take part in by registering online at www.
Jserve.org. Transportation to volunteer sites included.
Emma Graham is a senior at Mercer Island High School and the teen coordinator for J-Serve. She holds the position of Evergreen BBYO regional shlicha
and supervises the J-Serve 2015 planning committee.
We wish
you a
meaningful
Pesach.

Science.
To systematically study this effect, we
connected a mechanical simulator a box
with a hole through which a mockup of a
surgical instrument was inserted, to a robotic
system that can apply forces as a function
of its position, said Nisky in The Jerusalem Post. The participants interacted with
virtual tissues and were asked to compare
between pairs of different tissues and say
which felt stiffer. Based on their answers
in different experimental conditions, we
extracted the bias in perception due to the
fulcrum.
Both inexperienced BGU students and
sensory touch experts from its computational motor control laboratory participated
in the study.
