Respected doctor and Valley Jewish resident killed in shooting spree that left six deadJANET PEREZ | MANAGING EDITOR

Nationally renowned forensic psychiatrist and member of the Valley’s Jewish community Dr. Steven Pitt was the first person

killed in a one-man murder spree that spanned Phoenix, Scottsdale and Fountain Hills over several days, leaving six people dead.

The suspected gunman, 56-year-old Dwight Lamon Jones, killed himself Monday morning as Phoenix and Scottsdale police closed in on him at an Extended Stay America hotel in Scottsdale. In a press conference Monday afternoon, Scottsdale Police Com-mander Rich Slavin said ballistics, DNA evidence, surveillance tape, a tip from a member of the public and information from an almost 10-year-old divorce settlement have linked all six murders.

Pitt, 59, was shot and killed outside his office in North Phoenix on Thursday, May 31. A witness at the scene was able to give Phoenix Police a bare-bones description that produced a composite sketch. Pitt had advised on high-profile cases involving JonBenet Ramsey, the Columbine High School massacre, the Jodie Arias case and the “Baseline Killer,” who was later convicted of nine murders.

A n immigration policy that separates asylum-seeking parents from

their children is drawing criticism from immigration advocates and leaders within the Jewish community, both nationally and here in the Valley.

“There are international laws mandating the acceptance of refugees and asylum seekers,” said Rabbi Robert L. Kravitz,

president of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Phoenix, who stressed that he was speaking personally and not in his official capacity. “This U.S. attorney general’s May 7 announcement cancels any United States participation in these internationally agreed upon rules.

“Taking children from their parents reminds me of the ‘left’ or ‘right’ decisions against us made by the Nazis. Assisting those who are fleeing persecution and suffering should charge our Jewish communities’ sensibilities and response. After all, not so many years ago we were the ‘those people’ fleeing terror and persecution.”

On May 7, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke in Scottsdale about his “zero-tolerance” policy toward border enforcement, unveiling plans to prosecute all undocumented border crossers. He also con-firmed that undocumented families caught crossing the border would be separated.

The move came after U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border had more than tripled since April 2017.

“If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you as required by law,” Sessions said. “If you don’t like that, then don’t smuggle children over our border.”

The Jewish Council for Public Affairs, a hub of 16 national Jewish agencies and more than 125 local Jewish Community Relations Councils, strongly condemned the policy as “cruel and inhumane.” The group argued that children are particularly likely to suffer emotionally and psychologically due to separation from their parents. The group also maintains that the policy will add to the suffering of families, many of whom are fleeing violence in their home countries.

“The U.S. is a nation of immigrants and how we treat immigrants, even those who come to this country as migrants or asylum-seekers, should reflect our values of respect and fair treatment for all human beings,” the JCPA said in a statement released on

May 30. “We call on the Administration and Congress to put an immediate end to the policy of separating families when they present themselves at official ports of entry or are apprehended at the border.”

The JCPA was also “extremely concerned” that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has admitted to losing track of more than 1,400 children who were separated from their families. The admission came from Steven Wagner, the acting assistant secretary of the department, when he testified before the Senate in April.

Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, president and dean of Valley Beit Midrash, said the policy and its implementation run counter to Jewish ethical traditions.

“The Jewish people have been immigrants lacking rights and legal protections for millennia,” Yanklowitz said. “It is a profound Jewish moral imperative, due to that painful history and due to Torah values, that we are at the front lines protecting immigrant families who are fleeing violence and/or poverty.

“Under no circumstance would the Torah ever allow an immigrant child to be cruelly removed from their mother’s and father’s protection, and we must raise our voices of faith and conscience against such harsh decrees.”

Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block, Washington director of Bend the Arc Jewish Action, condemned the policy at a rally in the nation’s capital as part of the National Day of Action for Children held last Friday.

“To be a Jew and to see a government officially separating children from their parents in order to terrorize them, it just sends chills down my spine,” Kimelman-Block said. “We have our own historical experience of parents being separated from children. We have our own historical experience of governments cracking down on people in very ruthless ways. We have our own refugee experience.

“When many of us research our own family histories and learn about how some of our grandparents immigrated to this country as teenagers and as younger children, I think what we’ll find is it’s not all that different than immigrants who are trying to come here now.” JN

member of, but in 2006, Jewish News ran a notice of his son’s bar mitzvah at Temple Chai. A memorial service for Pitt was held Monday at Desert Hills Mortuary and Cemetery in Scottsdale. It was officiated by Rabbi Harold Loss of Michigan, where Pitt was born and raised, according to the Arizona Republic. Pitt is survived by two sons.

On Friday, June 1, less than 24 hours after Pitt’s killing, two paralegals, Laura Anderson and Veleria Sharp, were shot at Burt Feldman Grenier, the Scottsdale law firm where they worked. Sharp ran from the scene before collapsing and later died at an area hospital. Anderson died at the scene of the shooting.

Whi l e Scot t sda l e Po l i ce wer e investigating the Sharp and Anderson killings, Phoenix Police contacted them and the departments soon found ball ist ic evidence connecting the women’s murders to that of Pitt. In addition, Phoenix Police had found DNA evidence at the scene of Pitt’s slaying.

Just after midnight on Saturday, June 2, the body of psychologist Marshall Levine was found in his Scottsdale office. Police were called to the scene when Levine’s girlfriend, having not heard from him all day Friday, went to his office and discovered the body. Again, ballistic evidence linked Levine’s shooting to the first three murders.

As police continued their investigations, Slavin said police received a tip from a member of the public that evening, which by Sunday, June 3, led them to pinpoint Jones as their primary suspect.

Police spent June 3 trying to locate Jones, who was driving a gold Mercedes, when they caught sight of him in Fountain Hills around 3:20 p.m. and began following him until 10 p.m., when Jones dropped a bag in a trash can at Hayden and Scottsdale roads. Police retrieved the bag to find a .22-caliber pistol — not the kind used in the first four killings.

As the chase for Jones continued, police located some of his relatives in Northern Arizona, and Phoenix Police, with the help of the Coconino County Sheriff ’s Department, were able to match the DNA found at the scene of Pitt’s death to a Jones family member.

But the extent of the carnage still had not been fully discovered. Early

Monday morning, concerned that Jones’ vehicle had been spotted at a residence in Fountain Hills one to two hours before Scottsdale Police caught his trail, Maricopa Sheriff ’s deputies went to the home and found the bodies of Mary Simmons and Bryon Thomas. Slavin said the .22-caliber pistol Jones threw away belonged to Thomas.

Tracking Jones’ movements through traffic and surveillance cameras, police located Jones at a hotel in Scottsdale. They had started evacuating people in surrounding rooms when police heard seven to eight gunshots. A police tactical team made its way into Jones’ room, where he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police did not fire their weapons and no police or hotel visitors were injured.

Early in the investigation, police found another connection to the first four killings beyond ballistic evidence. In 2009 to 2010, Jones and his then-wife were going through a contentious divorce. Jones had been charged by Scottsdale Police with domestic assault against his wife and son.

During the divorce proceedings,

Jones’ wife was represented by Elizabeth Feldman, one of the partners at the law firm where Anderson and Sharp were shot. Feldman was not at the office during the shootings.

Jones was also ordered to be evaluated by Pitt, while his son was sent to another psychologist, Karen Kolbe, who shared an office with Levine. Kolbe was not in the office at the time of Levine’s killing. Police said Levine’s death was a tragic case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

A connection between Simmons and Thomas to the divorce has not been revealed by police. Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone said at the Monday afternoon press conference that “others would have been harmed” had Jones not been stopped.

Pitt’s family released a statement published in the Arizona Republic thanking “the Phoenix and Scottsdale police, the FBI, ATF and others for their devotion to this case.

“We are also not the only ones grieving. Our hearts go out to the families of Veleria Sharp, Laura Anderson and Marshall Levine.” JN

Workshops advise those seeking citizenshipJEFF KRONENFELD | STAFF WRITER

The New Americans Campaign co-hosted free citizenship and new voter workshops at two Valley locations on Saturday, June 1. The group is one of several working to help the almost 9 million legal permanent residents in the U.S. become citizens. Local immigration organizations, faith-based groups, legal service providers and more took part in the event.

Because the workshops were on Shabbat, many Valley Jewish organizations and residents who also help immigrants were unable to attend. However, they want it known that they and national counterparts are ready to help.

Rachel Sulkes is the communications director for Unite Here Local 11 and works with the Immigration and Worker Center. She was unable to attend the event.

“My family came to this country at the beginning of the 1900s fleeing Russia and the pogroms there,” Sulkes said. “Every year at our seder, when we talk about being a stranger in a strange land, I identify very much with that, and that’s why I do this work.”

Operated by Central Arizonans for a Sustainable Economy, the Immigration and Worker Center opened in 2015 to help legal permanent residents become citizens. It also provides English and civics classes to prepare for the citizenship test and helps residents determine eligibility

for fee waivers. Welcoming America, a national

organization based in Georgia, was founded by David Lubell, who received the 2018 Charles Bronfman Prize given to Jewish humanitarians under age 50 whose work is grounded in Jewish values.

Welcoming America partners with nonprofits and local governments around the country to implement policies to help immigrants and refugees integrate into communities.

Rachel Peric, executive director of Welcoming America, explained that the organization supports programs that help residents become citizens in communities across the country. It also works with programs connecting refugees with community gardens or helping refugee and immigrant entrepreneurs develop their businesses and connect with investors.

“My grandparents were Holocaust survivors and they came to the U.S. with my mother, who was an infant at the time,” Peric said. “They came as refugees, as immigrants. I grew up with their stories of the family they had lost. For me, coming to an organization that’s focused on bringing people together and moving past the divisive narratives that we’re hearing in our country right now is rooted not only in my Jewish faith and the idea of welcoming the stranger, but also in that experience.” JN

Holocaust survivor to reunite with family that saved herJEFF KRONENFELD | STAFF WRITER

Charlotte Adelman was checking her Facebook account in 2016 when she noticed a message that

took her back 70 years to when she was hiding under a bed while German soldiers looked for her, nearly stabbing her with a bayonet as they did so. The message was from Alain Quatreville, the son of the family that had hidden Adelman for nine months during the war.

Now, the 85-year-old Valley resident will see Alain again for the first time since her father picked her up from the Quatreville home after the war ended. The two will be reunited in Paris in July, thanks to that Facebook message.

Adelman was born in Paris and spent her childhood in an apartment building that was mostly Jewish. Her father’s cousin tried to convince the family to relocate to the U.S. in 1938, but her father refused.

On June 14, 1942, the Nazis occupied Paris and began implementing a series of anti-Semitic laws. Adelman’s father knew worse was coming. So, he had the family split up and stay with neighbors just before French police, on behalf of the Nazi authorities, arrested more than 11,000 Jews.

Desperate to escape to southern France, where Jews were not yet being rounded up, Adelman’s father left her and her younger brother, Max, in an orphanage.

Her father planned to come back for them, but he was caught, along with Adelman’s mother, by the Germans. Though her father was able to escape by jumping from a moving vehicle, her mother was deported to Auschwitz, where she is believed to have died.

In the meantime, a Romanian woman had taken Adelman from the orphanage, while her brother contracted scarlet fever and was sent to a hospital.

Adelman said they were both lucky, since they survived the war. The other children at the orphanage weren’t so fortunate.

“I took my kids to France after the war and I showed them the orphanage,” Adelman said. “The 79 kids that stayed there, they took them to Auschwitz and

they killed them.”The Romanian woman didn’t realize

that Adelman, who spoke Yiddish, could understand German. Adelman overhead the Romanian woman saying she was planning to sell her to the highest bidder.

Adelman contacted the building’s janitor, who got a message to a family friend who was able to rescue her.

Her father traveled to eastern France, where he heard those who worked there were not being deported.

When he learned where Adelman was, he picked her up and brought her to stay with him in the home of the Quatreville family.

When a villager warned Adelman’s father that the Germans were planning to round up the workers, they fled through the forest to a cottage, where they stayed while Adelman’s father rendezvoused with members of the underground resistance.

However, the woman who lived in the cottage said it was too dangerous for Adelman to stay, so she was returned to the Quatreville family hidden in a wheelbarrow.

The family hid Adelman in the basement of a destroyed neighbor’s house. Every day, the Quatrevilles’ 18-year-old daughter would bring Adelman her meals and water, and remove her waste.

“I would know what time it was during the day according to the food that she was bringing down,” Adelman said. “While I was in that cellar, I made up stories to not go crazy during those nine months. In the stories, I had a family, a little boy and a little girl. I had a husband, a home and a little red car.”

One night, Adelman begged the family to let her out of the basement and into the house. Despite the risk, they relented.

When police officers and German soldiers showed up, the boyfriend of the Quatrevilles’ daughter picked Adelman up and whisked her into an upstairs bedroom. When she heard the Germans enter the house, she hid under the bed.

The soldiers, it turned out, were looking for the boyfriend, who turned

himself in to try to keep Adelman safe. However, one of the soldiers had

seen him holding something through the window.

The solders searched the house, eventually coming to the room where Adelman was hiding. Most terrifyingly, a soldier began probing under the bed, his bayonet coming within inches of her.

“Luckily, they couldn’t look under the bed because it was close to the floor,” Adelman said. “I was very little and I flattened myself against the wall. I put my little hand in my mouth not to scream.”

Alain Quatreville, who was 4 at the time, was about to reveal where Adelman was to the Germans when his grandmother whisked him into a bath, literally putting a bar of soap in his mouth.

The Germans finally left when they found the boyfriend’s bag, convinced that was what he was holding.

“When the Germans le f t , Mr. Quatreville pulled me from under the bed and I was white like a sheet,” Adelman said. “We couldn’t go to a doctor or hospital, so he gave me a shot of cognac to put me back on my feet.”

When the Americans liberated the

village, Adelman came out of the basement for good.

“The Quatreville family kept me after the war because they didn’t know if my father or mother were alive,” Adelman said. She stayed with the family for months. Every Sunday, she went with them to church, though she declined to be baptized, convinced she would be reunited with her family.

Eventually, her father found both her and her brother. They lived for a time in Paris, though Adelman moved to Israel, then Canada and then the U.S.

She mar r ied an Amer ican and eventually had the son, daughter and even red car she had dreamed of while hiding in the basement.

Adelman was excited to hear from Alain. The pair may visit Alain’s older sister, the one who brought Adelman her meals. Adelman will also visit her brother, Max, who still lives in France. She has even set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the trip.

“I was lucky all my life,” Adelman reflected. “I was lucky even to lose my mom, because it is like an angel has been looking over me.” JN

First-person: last stop — MadridDANIELLE GROSS | SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

D anielle Gross is a first-year mem-ber of Jewish Federations of North

America’s National Young Leadership Cabinet. She joined the national cabinet through her work with Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix’s NowGen program, which engages Jewish adults in their 20s through 40s in philanthropy, connections to community and leadership.

Gross recently completed a cabinet mis-sion that took her to Morocco and Spain. The mission allowed cabinet members to experience the diversity of Jewish commu-nities abroad, see Federation programs at work and engage with the people affected by Federation-funded programs.

Gross was accompanied on her journey by NYL Cabinet Israel and Overseas Co-chair Rachel Hoffer, who is also a NowGen board adviser. Both Gross and Hoffer wrote daily roundups of their time in Morocco and Spain. This is their final dispatch. Here, Gross describes her time in Madrid.

The morning began with a briefing from Nir Buchler, vice president Israel and global philanthropy for the Jewish Agency for Israel. Nir summarized the work of JAFI with a few interesting statistics about the organization’s aliyah program:

• Twenty-six percent of the JAFI budget is directed toward aliyah.

• As many as 200,000 Jews have made aliyah.

• Citizens from at-risk countries are able to reside at absorption centers as long as needed.

I listened to how the Jews of Morocco and Spain have been assisted in making aliyah. JAFI helps send young Jews to Israel by funding Birthright trips and bringing young Israelis to other countries for cultural programs.

Next, Diego Ornique, regional director in Europe, Africa and Asia for the Joint Distribution Committee, spoke with NYL cabinet members about JDC’s global work. Ornique discussed JDC programming that helps Jewish people live in dignity, obtain security and sustainability. I listened to the security concerns in Europe and the need for JDC to help communities provide complete security for Jews in their cities. Ornique

explained that the old method was to secure synagogues, schools and Jewish centers, but kosher markets and stores have become recent targets. In addition, JDC and JAFI work collaboratively to effectively provide services to Jewish communities across the world. Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix financially supports both JDC and JAFI.

NYL cabinet members then traveled by bus to the ORT-affiliated Ibn Gabirol School for elementary through high school students. We walked through a reinforced cement wall that encompassed the entire 11-acre campus. We were greeted by staff and high school students. Once inside the building, we spoke with the school’s principal, as well as Dan Green, ORT’s chief operating officer and CEO. The Ibn Gabirol school was established 53 years ago, has a total of 330 students, a supervised kosher dining hall, and a 100 percent high school graduation rate, with graduates scoring well on college entrance exams.

After learning about the school, we were separated into smaller groups and were given tours by the high school students. I was impressed by how professionally the high school students led our tour. They were dressed in suits, spoke eloquently in English and were knowledgeable about their school. I was able to peer into classrooms full of toddlers eating snacks, as well as high school students studying for exams.

We ended the tour on the basketball courts, where the school arranged a Shabbat performance and celebration, and NYL cabinet brought in a popular a capella group from Israel. I was reminded of my children at home when I heard the kindergartners sing Shabbat songs, which I sing with my own children during Tot Shabbat at the Valley of the Sun JCC. I began to cry tears of joy while singing Hebrew songs with the children and danced the horah. I felt such hope for a Jewish future because of this bright and happy next generation of Jews

Our new friend in Madrid, David Hatchwell Altaras, the past president of the Jewish Community of Madrid and a

philanthropist and chairman of Excem Grupo, arranged for us to have a VIP tour of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the home of the world-renowned soccer team Real Madrid. Santiago Bernabéu is one of the world’s most famous and prestigious soccer venues and has a capacity of 81,044.

Cabinet members arrived through the players’ entrance, toured the locker room, walked on the field and dined in the stadium restaurant. I also purchased matching outfits for my sons and swag for my husband at the store.

The last visit of the day was to the Almudena Cathedral, which was completed in 1993 and is next to the Royal Palace. Cabinet members had a private meeting with Cardinal Carlos Osoro Sierra, Archbishop of Madrid. The cardinal and Hatchwell Altaras spoke about the importance of working together on common goals. Cardinal Sierra expressed love for the Jewish people and the desire for peace, and spoke of a future visit to Israel.

Our busy day of meetings and sightseeing came to an end as we began to prepare for Shabbat. We attended services at an Orthodox Sephardic synagogue, Beth Yaacov. This was my first

time at a Sephardic service and I noticed both similarities and differences. I heard some similar prayers and melodies, but the orientation of seating varied from an Ashkenazi synagogue. The members welcomed us to their community with some smiles and an introduction during the rabbi’s sermon, which was entirely in Spanish. The synagogue resembled the synagogues that we had visited in Morocco; my experience felt complete to see this type of synagogue filled with predecessors and voices.

The night ended with a traditional Shabbat dinner with community guests from Madrid. There was reflection of our past week and goodbyes from Hatchwell Altaras and other community guests. One of Hatchwell Altaras’ friends told us about the BDS movement infiltrating the Span-ish government.

Jews have made progress in Madrid to practice their traditions and be recognized as Spanish citizens, and the need for Jewish people to advocate on their behalf continues. They spoke about the importance of being awake and applauded all of us for making a commitment to the global Jewish world. JN

Tefillin rageFifteen years ago, anyone viewing the strange encounter between

three Israelis, one of whom was putting on tefillin at Ben-Gurion Airport, would have had grist for an amusing story at dinner. But this is 2018. So last week’s confrontation between University of Maryland professor Pnina Peri, Chabad Rabbi Meir Herzl and business traveler Gad Kaufman drew much more attention, as it was recorded on a phone, posted online and spread virally.

The admittedly disturbing video shows Peri, a visiting assistant professor in U-Md.’s Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies, shouting in Hebrew and berating Herzl as he helps Kaufman with the tefillin. Peri yells to them to “move because you are bothering me” and asks rhetorically, “Why are you doing this here? There are people here.” Throughout the video tirade, she laughs mockingly.

But what happened before and after the recorded obnoxious activity? In an interview, Peri said that she first “politely” asked the men “if they could allow me my personal space.” She said that in response, the men “shouted at me to move, called me misogynist names and cursed me out, saying that ‘it’s too bad that Hitler didn’t kill you and your entire family.’ ” She said the remark about Hitler led to her outburst, but nevertheless apologized for “losing control.”

Herzl, director of the central Chabad House serving the Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze’ev, disputed Peri’s account in the Israeli media. As he recalled the exchange, someone in the lounge area compared Peri’s ostensibly anti-religious attitude to the Nazis’ hatred of Jews.

In the absence of more significant evidence of Peri’s anti-religious animus — and no such information has been uncovered or brought forward publicly, this unfortunate confrontation should have stopped there. The person who shot the video had the choice not to record it. Kaufman had the choice not to post it. And the rest of us had the choice not to view it. Instead, people who 10 days ago had never heard of Pnina Peri are calling for her firing, using as a “supporting argument” the wholly immaterial fact that her husband, Yoram Peri, a distinguished scholar, is a former president of the left-leaning New Israel Fund.

Peri could have legitimately been concerned about a perceived violation of her personal space, she could have been stressed out prior to boarding an international flight, she may have had a momentary lapse of sanity, or she may actually harbor vicious hatred of Orthodox Jews and Orthodox religious practice. We believe that verbally assaulting a man for putting tefillin on in public is wrong, but without knowing Peri’s motivations, it makes no sense to question her academic qualifications or to judge her on the basis of her religiosity, as many unfortunately did.

While it is difficult to refrain from reflexively condemning the part of the story captured in the video, the lack of a full understanding of what happened counsels that we all get off the outrage bandwagon. JN

OPINION

Poor choices for religious freedom commissionIn a nod to his conservative

evangelical base, President Donald Trump appointed longtime activist Gary Bauer to the U.S . Commiss ion on International Religious Freedom — an independent body that tracks rel igious freedoms overseas. Bauer will join fellow commission member Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, who has drawn cr i t i c i sm because of his past controversial statements about Muslims and the LGBTQ community.

Bauer is the Washington director of Christians United for Israel and is a former head of the Family Research Council, which advocates that homosexuals are harmful to society. The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled the Family Research Council a hate group.

In a tweet, Bauer said his “focus” on the commission “will be on the growing persecution of Christians and the rising tide of anti-Semitic hatred around the world. Muslim majority nations are [the] biggest culprits.”

We find Bauer’s tweet troubling in two significant respects: First, its broad-stroked accusations are anti-Muslim. Second, it sloppily seeks to link anti-Semitism with the persecution of Christians. While persecution of Christians is very real in Egypt, Iraq, China and Turkey (some of Bauer’s supporters might say in the United States, too, given their yearly invocation of a fictional “war on Christmas”), the persecution of Jews in the Muslim world is limited by the fact that so few Jews live there. Yes, many Muslim nations are rife with overt anti-Semitism, and terrorists supported by Muslim nations generally hate Jews. But so do many among the rising tide of arch conservatives and far-right political movements in Europe, as do some of their counterparts in the United States.

Bauer’s eliding of Jewish and Christian — seen in the adjective Judeo-Christian — is one of conservative Christians’ contributions to American thought. Doing so tends more

to support the universality of Christian culture in the United States than legitimizing Judaism and Jewish culture, all while it casts not only Islam, but Buddhism and a host of other religions as well, as somehow un-American.

With people like Bauer and Perkins on the commission, t h e r e i s a g o o d c h a n c e that the U.S. approach to international religious freedom will be influenced by such an ideological tilt.

Meanwhile, we still don’t have a U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism. Last week 120 members of the House Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism called on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to appoint an envoy. “You have my word,” Pompeo responded.

We hope that the appointment, if it ever comes, will go to someone with a wider base of support and less ideological baggage than the administration’s appointees to the re l ig ious f reedom commission. JN

OPINION

Let’s abolish Jewish celebritiesJONATHAN S. TOBIN | JNS.ORG

Like any embattled minority that needed positive role models, early-

and mid-20th-century Jews living in the United States embraced celebrities with any sort of tie to the tribe. In that era, Jews were still largely excluded from many sectors of power and society, as well as subject to anti-Semitism. So American Jews were happy to treat any of their co-religionists who broke through to the big time — whether in entertainment, sports or any other endeavor — as heroes of a sort.

Though most were not Jewish heroes in the sense that they used their celebrity to stand up for their people or to promote Jewish values or faith, they were still lauded for somehow succeeding in a world where the odds seem stacked against them.

Happily, over the decades, the circumstances of American Jewry have changed for the better. Though the virus of anti-Semitism persists and motivates much of the hatred expressed against Israel, the barriers to Jews throughout American society have collapsed. Even as hatred continues to be a factor, it’s also true that Jews do not cower in fear at the power of enemies. We don’t need Jewish baseball legends to prove that we aren’t weak any more than we need songwriters or comedians to prove that we fit in, or Supreme Court justices and senators to establish the importance of our many contributions to society.

So why are many Jews still obsessed with Jewish celebrities and willing to

treat their utterances as important when we ought to know better?

That’s the lesson some of us should have learned from the self-destruction of Roseanne Barr.

The point here is not to add to the chorus of condemnations of her disgusting and racist comment about Valerie Jarrett, a key adviser to former President Barack Obama. There’s no excuse for that kind of verbal ugliness, which was neither funny nor cogent, about a person’s background or heritage, even if, in this case, she was a public figure whose work is fair game for criticism. Nor is the decision of ABC to cancel Barr’s recently rebooted hit television sitcom a question of free speech or related to her support of President Donald Trump. No one has a right to a television show, and if the network understandably doesn’t wish to be associated with her, that is its choice.

What is worthy of discussion is the way the Jewish world, especially in the pro-Israel community, was willing to treat Barr as not merely noteworthy, but somehow possessing some insight into the world of politics or even the Middle East. As anyone who followed her Twitter account before the slur at Jarrett was published, the nicest word one would apply to Barr could be “eccentric.” (Most of the time, “unhinged” was more apt.)

The odd thing about Barr was that while she was once known as an ardent liberal with little interest in

Jewish issues, in recent years she had become an open and vocal supporter of Israel and a critic of anti-Semitism. That was praiseworthy, but along with it came scads of tweets that were either unintelligible or the product of conspiracy theories. While it was nice to see a famous Jew support Israel at a time when so many Jewish celebrities are at pains to distance themselves from the Jewish state, you didn’t have to scroll down very far in her Twitter feed to realize that she was not exactly a reliable source of commentary.

Yet that didn’t stop her from being booked at the annual Jerusalem Post conference in New York and treated not merely as a star, but as someone whose voice should be heard. I don’t so much blame the Post for trying to exploit her celebrity as I do a Jewish community that still labors under the delusion that what Jewish celebrities say about politics or policy matters.

I know that to some, the original version of her eponymous sitcom was a rare tribute to the American working class. Others liked the new edition because her character, like the actress, voted for Trump, and served as a touch of American working-class realism that made many on the left unhappy. None of that made her an authority on the issues of the day, but that didn’t stop many of us from cheering when her random comments on Twitter sometimes were supportive of Israel and vented anger at anti-Semites.

That’s the thing about treating people who are famous for talents other than those rooted in knowledge and wisdom about contemporary social and political issues. Perhaps it is human nature to do so, but it seems to me that a Jewish community that should have long ago outgrown its infatuation with famous members of the tribe was particularly foolish to give someone like Barr this sort of treatment.

The object lesson to be learned is not just that we are obligated to condemn hatred wherever we encounter it, especially when it comes out of the mouths of those who identify as Jewish. It’s that in a free society where Jews need no heroes in the way we once did, we should stop obsessing over Jewish celebrities — whether it means making lists of Jewish actors or tallying up how many of those suiting up for Major League Baseball can count as Jews (halachically or not).

Difficult as it may be to do in a culture that glorifies notoriety for its own sake, it’s especially important for Jews who care about the furtherance of Jewish values to eschew the cult of celebrity.

It may be a lot these days to ask to expect American Jews to find our heroes among the ranks of our great scholars and thinkers. But when you realize what comes from godding up the likes of Roseanne Barr, then perhaps it won’t be so difficult. JN

Furnishing Dignity helps the formerly homelessNINA TARGOVNIK | SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

I am an attorney for the local legal aid in Phoenix. Many of my clients

not only have legal needs but social, emotional and practical needs as well.

When I first met Michael, he was a client. After his case ended, we became friends and stayed in touch off and on for

a few years. His mental issues stop him from working and after waiting for more than two years, he was given subsidized housing. I was so excited for him and Glenda, his service dog and best friend.

I went to visit him a few days after he moved in. What I saw was shocking. His

mental health clinic gave him a blow-up mattress and a coffee maker to furnish his apartment and a shower curtain to use as a blanket.

I was depressed after I left and turned to social media to furnish his apartment. Through the help of some

friends, a couch, a love seat, a dining table and chairs, lamps, sheets, towels and basic living supplies were donated. Other friends donated money and we were able to buy a bed. Other people continue to donate regularly and

Hearts open, eyes clearPARSHAT SH’LACH LECHA, NUMBERS 13:2

The Midrash Rabbah on Parshat Sh’Lach teaches: “There is none

more beloved before the Holy One as a messenger of mitzvah, who gives her soul in order to be successful in her mission.” So why did the spies, who were messengers of mitzvah, go so wrong?

We find the answer in the words of the spies when they report about their journey: “ … in our own eyes, we were like grasshoppers, and so we must have looked to them.” They have no way of knowing how others saw them, but their diminished perception of themselves leads them to assume that the rest of the world shares in their view. In the language of the third paragraph of the Shema, they let their “hearts and eyes” distract them from their purpose, and they lose their sense of self in the process.

The mitzvah of tzitzit is seen as an antidote to that distraction: “so you will not go astray after your heart and

after your eyes,” so you won’t be misled by them, like the spies were misled by theirs. Why does the Torah say first your heart and then your eyes? Because how the heart feels is how the mind sees. When we feel bad, when we have a diminished sense of self, the world looks smaller and more bleak. When we feel good, when the heart is open, the world looks better. Our inner state impacts our vision.

The Sfat Emet teaches: “ … we are all messengers of mitzvah, sent by God into this world to fulfill His mitzvoth … for in everything there is holiness … And mitzvoth are called lights, that shine with the power of Torah on all things, and there is no deed that doesn’t have a mitzvah within it. It’s just that at the outset, a person has to give his soul to the mission … ”

Where the spies went wrong was that their mission was not to fulfill their own desire to see how good the land was; it was not about them. The mission

was about the des i re and the preparation to do what had been c o m m a n d e d , that “he give his soul” to the task at hand.

I n o u r l i f e journeys, if we set out in order to find the divine light in all things, we will indeed find it. What determines the success of the mission is what we bring to it, whether we “give our soul to it,” and do the will of the Creator in everything we do. Whether we are going to the supermarket or going to shul, we are always messengers of mitzvah, and there is always the potential to do a mitzvah.

So how does the tzitzit help us keep our hearts open and seeing clearly? The Talmud in tractate Sotah 17a, teaches: “Why is techelet (the blue tzitzit thread) different from all other colors? Because

the techelet is like the color of the ocean, and the ocean is like the color of the heavens and the heavens are the color of the throne of glory.” The blue of the tzitzit is to remind us to keep our horizons wide, like the ocean or the sky. It reminds us to always try to see the big picture, the view closest to the way God sees.

The tzitzit remind us to be conscious of our purpose in everything we do, so we don’t get lost in wrong perspectives and small-mindedness. If we remember that ever y action we take in this world has mitzvah potential, when we remember why we do what we do, then our journeys, wherever they take us, will take us to a “promised land.” JN

help pay for his laundry and internet. Michael’s apartment went from a placeto live to a home.

For more than 20 years, I have been gathering furniture for people, starting

with Russian Jews who moved to Phoenix and now helping Furnishing Dignity to provide for those individuals and families who have a place to live but not a home.

As a Jew, I believe in doing mitzvot and working to create a world where people’s basic needs are met. My Jewish education from religious school

at Beth El Congregation to a college degree in Jewish studies taught me to work on the mitzvah of tikkun olam.

Each person who has a comfortable place to call home makes the world a better and safer place.

Working in the Jewish community helped me gain experience asking for

help from the community members. A friend of mine introduced me to Furnishing Dignity and I knew I found the right organization to work with.

Furnishing Dignity is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide furniture and basic home furnishings for individuals and families who can afford apartments but cannot

afford to furnish them. There is a screening process and

families can only use the services once because of the demand, but we are able to help hundreds of families yearly.

There is nothing like the look of a child who enters his/her bedroom for the first time and sees a bed with

age-appropriate sheets and a separate place for toys.

We are continual ly looking for furniture in good condition and new beds.

Even though two moving companies donate their services, each move costs Furnishing Dignity $250, so we also ask for money donations to offset the

cost of the move. I ask you to help with the mitzvah

of tikkun olam and support Furnishing Dignity.

LIFESTYLES AND CULTURE

TRAVEL

Finding Jewish Buenos AiresLIZ SPIKOL | EDITORIAL DIRECTOR

Last April, my boyfriend, Brad, and I got bumped from a flight and each

received $1,000 vouchers. We’d always been interested in Buenos Aires, so we planned a trip to Argentina. Gauchos! Tango! Steak! Jews!

I’d fixated on Argentina as Jewish place after a trip to Israel in my early 20s, when I met an old bookstore owner who’d moved to Israel from Argentina. We talked for a while about Jewish life in South America, and all these years later, I remembered our conversation fondly. I imagined I’d meet many old bookish Jews in Buenos Aires. After all, with a Jewish population estimated at between 180,000 and 250,000, Buenos Aires is regularly cited as the sixth-largest Jewish community in the world.

But meeting Jewish people casually — meeting anyone at all, in fact — wasn’t easy. Buenos Aires is the largest city in Argentina, and the second-largest city in South America. It has a metro population of 15.1 million and is incredibly busy and crowded, like a scene out of “Koyaan-isqatsi” minus Philip Glass. People are not unfriendly, exactly. They’re just ... otherwise occupied.

So we did some research and made a list of Jewish sites to visit. Here are a few I recommend:

AMIA community center and memo-rial: “Recordar el dolor que no cesa.” Those words — “remember the pain that does not end” — are printed on a sign atop the wall surrounding the AMIA Jewish com-munity center. Beneath the sign, a black wooden canvas stretches along the wall’s length, with 85 names painted in white. Ileana, Mirta, Rosa, Gabriel — names of the dead, all of them killed in 1994 in the worst terrorist attack on Argentine soil.

In the years since the bombing, AMIA has continued its mission of serving the Buenos Aires’ Jewish community, tending to more than 20,000 students of Jewish schools; drawing thousands to cultural events; assisting families who would not, without AMIA’s help, be able to afford funeral services for their loved ones.

The bombing, which was never solved,

continues to reverberate. In March, it was announced that Argentina’s former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, now a senator, will stand trial, along with 11 other officials from her administra-tion, on charges of covering up the role of the Iranian government in the bomb-ing. Meanwhile, Alberto Nisman, the investigator who uncovered the Kirch-ner’s administration wrongdoing, was murdered in 2015. Netflix is reportedly creating a miniseries about him.

All of this makes AMIA a rather relevant stop, which can be paired, if you’re feeling tragic, with the site of the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy, which killed 30. That site is now an open-air memorial with benches and trees, and there is no advance notice needed to visit the park.

El Once: There is no one Jewish neighborhood in Buenos Aires, but El Once, which is technically part of the larger Balvanera neighborhood, is a good place to visit to experience a taste of Lower East Side immigrant European culture — as transplanted to South America.

It is both a garment district and party-planning center, where anything event-related can be purchased. The fabric merchants often have quirky window displays, like a cutout of Mari-lyn Monroe hovering over Minnie and Mickey Mouse dolls dressed in textile remnants.

In El Once, you’ll see storeowners wearing kippahs, and even find a small storefront that sells seder plates, kid-dush cups and other basic Judaica.

Gran Templo Paso: Also in the Bal-vanera neighborhood, you’ll find the Ashkenazi Gran Templo Paso, which bills itself as “one of the most beautiful synagogues in all of South America.” The first Talmud Torah in Buenos Aires was founded here in 1894, though the current building wasn’t constructed until 1927.

As with all synagogues in Buenos Aires, security is tight, so visits must be arranged ahead of time, even for services, which the temple describes as “modern Orthodox.”

Near the temple, there are several Jewish restaurants and bakeries, including Mozart Kosher, Yafo Kosher, Ajim Deli and Helueni, as well as multiple kosher ice cream shops.

McDonald’s: Normally, I wouldn’t recommend McDonald’s as a center of Jewish life, but this particular McDon-ald’s is the only kosher McDonald’s out-side of Israel, which makes it unique. It’s also in the Abasto shopping mall, which is a remarkable Art Deco building. The architecture alone makes a visit worth it, but the shopping mall also houses an interactive children’s museum.

Templo Libertad/Jewish Museum

of Buenos Aires: In order to visit this fascinating site, you need to contact them ahead of time and send in your passport number and personal details. It’s worth the trouble, as you get two for one: the temple itself, along with the creatively installed exhibits at the museum.

The temple, the first synagogue built in Buenos Aires and a National Historical Monument, is beautiful, a sort of Byzan-tine palace with three naves and enough wooden pews to seat 1,000 congregants.

The elaborate design is visible in every detail, from light fixtures to the ark itself.

The museum has all kinds of material culture from Argentina’s Jewish history, from a Yiddish-language Remington typewriter to birth certificates.

There are contemporary exhibits as

well. When we were there, I quite enjoyed looking at a piece of golden matzah — certainly the most attractive matzah I’ve ever seen. JN

Use all your senses when furnishing your homeBARBARA KAPLAN | SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

Even though our visual sense is the strongest when decorating our

home, we must not neglect the other senses we possess to create our personal spaces.

Generally, we look to see what is visually pleasing. Often we forget our other senses and ignore satisfying them.

For instance, what do we like to hear around us? Do we like the sound of birds singing? Or do we prefer the news playing on the radio or TV in the background? What do we like to smell? Is it dinner cooking or the fragrance of flowers in a vase? (There was a Nobel Prize awarded for work on the sense of smell.) What do we like to taste? Perhaps it’s the first flavor-of-the-day juice, coffee or cereal. And what is our favorite thing to touch? Is it the fabric on our favorite chair or the touch of a child’s cheek?

Our senses help us express who we are, and they show up in our behavior and choices. The environment is full of the stimuli that call upon our senses to react.

Often, all f ive senses are being stimulated at the same time. When we are unaware of what’s stimulating us, we may be pulled into a negative direction. We may become sad or angry, or lose our patience.

On the other hand, we may suddenly feel happy or creative or have a burst of energy. This can come from feeling the touch of a soft chair to sink into or the taste of a delicious homemade piece of apple pie. It can come from reading a great book or seeing a beautiful picture.

Visual clues are all around us. Plants brought into homes, for example, connect us with nature.

It’s also important to acknowledge nature by being aware of the direction you are facing. Be a human compass. You can bring in plants, water, sunlight and fish, and know the weather by what you see outside your windows.

People love windows because they bring in light and life. Lighting is

symbolic and an aspect of emotion. Shadows created by low-level lighting add interest, emotions and ambience. The perfect light to see color accurately is daylight, and the closest we get to that is with full-spectrum lighting. This is healing light, which is a balance between warm and cool colors. For instance, red warms our bodies and blue cools us down.

Touch is associated with caring and love — it’s what we might call healing hands. Touch is intimacy in our environment. It helps us feel our environment and give it stability. We can fool our eyes, but not our sense of touch.

Touch knows, for example , i f something is hot or cold. Touch is more how it feels than looks, such as with our favorite chair or pillow. We not only touch with our hands but with our whole bodies.

Our beds , where we r e s t and rejuvenate our bodies, are an example of the sense of touch. Sleep allows us to heal — sleeping well is essential to how we experience our day. So our bed must feel good.

Consider your pillows, your blanket, your sheets and even the color of your sheets. Many people can feel the color vibrate even with their eyes closed.

When we make choices as to what to put in our environment, those choices influence and affect us consciously and unconsciously.

Most often we call upon the familiar sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes we are comfortable with. Less often, we look to the unfamiliar to take us out of our expected space to stimulate and arouse our interest.

In creating the environment you want in your home, always consider your senses. JN

SPECIAL SECTION

When buying a home or refinancing your current home loan, there

are some seemingly harmless, normal activities that can derail the process. Here is a list of things you should not do without first consulting your loan officer:

Don’t take on new debts. That means no new loans, consolidating, co-signing, getting a car lease or applying for new credit cards. Before your final loan documents are prepared, an updated credit report is pulled. This report does not have credit scores, but it will allow the lender to see all new credit inquiries, any new credit lines and most recent balances and payments on all accounts. If anything changes, your loan may have to go back to the underwriter for an updated approval. This may cause delays or worse; the status of your loan could change from approved to declined.

Don’t quit your job. If you want to quit your job and start your own business, don’t do it in the middle of

the loan process. Wait until the loan process is complete.

Don’t withhold information. With today’s access to information and technology, mortgage companies do comprehensive reviews of all of your personal identification information and all of your financial history. A comprehensive search of property records to verify ownership interest in real property is also done. Withholding material information will only hinder a true assessment of your qualifications and can often pop up at the last minute.

Don’t make large deposits of cash. Don’t deposit a bunch of cash into your bank account that cannot be sourced. Please consult with your mortgage professional before depositing money into the bank other than your normal payroll check.

Don’t change jobs. This includes changing positions that impact the way

you are paid. For instance, a simple switch from an hourly wage earner to full commission completely changes the way an underwriter looks at your income. Please inform your mortgage consultant with any changes to your current position.

Don’t do anything that could lower your credit score. Making late payments, increasing your credit card balances or simply applying for new credit can lower your scores and adversely affect your ability to get your loan approved.

Most people don’t like to be told what not to do, but these tips are terribly important to avoid disastrous pitfalls. To help make for a smoother loan process, here is a list of things that you should do:

Do keep original copies of documents or be able to access your original documents easily. Items like paycheck stubs, bank statements and other important financial documents may need to be updated throughout the loan process. It is not uncommon for people to pack away important documents while preparing to move. If not stored electronically, it is very important to keep financial records handy.

Do provide all financial information. This includes ownership information in

real property and any other material information. A complete financial picture is required for a mortgage application. Any ownership interest in real property must also be disclosed, along with any material information. Examples of material information would be a recent divorce, spousal support agreement, child support agreement, or any private financial agreement or payment arrangement.

Do provide your earnest money deposit. This can be obtained from your own personal bank account or acceptable gift funds. Please talk to your loan officer or loan coordinator for additional clarification. This will present a very difficult problem if not managed properly at the time you write a contract on a home.

Do provide all documentation for the sale of your current home. If you are selling a home and then buying another home, the underwriter will want to review the sales contract, closing statement and any possible employer r e locat ion or buy-out program for the home you are selling.

Do notify your loan officer or loan coordinator if you plan to receive gift funds. Gift funds may be used toward your down payment and closing costs, but only if certain criteria are met. Advances from credit cards for your down payment and closing costs are never acceptable.

Do notify your loan officer or loan coordinator of any employment changes. Employment changes could include a recent raise, promotion, transfer or change of pay status.
