Planting Roots: Rabbi Michael Farbman of Shaarei Shalom, Reform's first perma-shul in St. Petersburg

Late last week, the Jewish Telegraph Agency proudly announced the near completion of Sha’arei Shalom, a new $2 million Reform synagogue on the banks of the Neva River in St. Petersburg. It is the first building built by and for the Reform movement or, more broadly, Progressive Judaism, in post-Soviet Russia. But beneath the headline “Hopes Rise for St. Petersburg Reform Synagogue” was an undercurrent of disappointment that Reform and Progressive Judaism have not done more for Russian Jewry.

Portland, OR — Horses and dogs and science—oh my! Those who journey down the well-traveled road to the eighth annual Lag B'Omer celebration at Alpenrose Dairy, 2-5 p.m., May 6, will experience all three as well as entertainment, carnival games and activities hosted by nearly 40 local Jewish organizations.

This year's event has been dubbed the Jewish Community Celebration in recognition of the large cross-section of the community it draws.
“This is an outstanding annual community event involving people from every local organization,” said Jewish Federation of Greater Portland Executive Vice-President Charles Schiffman. “It is a fine example of the collaborative approach that we discussed at our recent Leadership Council meeting with rabbis, organizations, agencies and congregations. I hope the entire community will join in the fun this year at Alpenrose Dairy.”

The Alanta Journal Constitution
With Rabbi Eliyahu Schusterman of Chadad Intown by his side, Jake Silverstein reads from the Torah during a dress rehearsal for his bar mitzvah, which was last Shabbos.

Atlanta, GA — Like many teenage boys, Jake Silverstein enjoys sports and video games.

But when he turned 13 this month, Jake became a young man under Jewish law. The DeKalb County teen was feted with a series of dinners and parties to celebrate his coming of age, or bar mitzvah.

Blacksburg, VA — At Virginia Tech, students need time to heal, and then an opportunity to act.

Virginia Tech students sat quietly, some weeping at the Blacksburg Jewish Community Center’s brief prayer service Tuesday night, too overcome, too emotionally exhausted to do much more than answer ‘amen’ to recital of the mourner’s prayer by Rabbi Yossel Kranz, Executive Director of Chabad of the Virginias.

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Rabbi Akiva, the Talmud relates, was accustomed to saying: Kol mah d’ovied Rachmono, l’tav ovied, meaning: Everything that the Merciful-One [G-d] does is for the good. Once, while he was traveling, recounts the Talmud, he was in dire need of lodging, he knocked on the door of a home in the village at which he had arrived, but was refused hospitality. Yet, instead of being discouraged, Rabbi Akiva declared “Everything that the Merciful-One does is for the good.”

He knocked on another door but the response was much the same and so too was his reaction: “Everything that the Merciful-One does is for the good.” His demeanor did not change even after he knocked on every door in town and was refused entry. Lacking a more favorable alternative, he encamped in a field on the outskirts of the town.

G-d was murdered Monday. Thirty-three times over.

No, this isn't my hyperbolic way of venting my sadness and rage. It's what the sages of the Talmud said more than two thousand years ago.

They pointed out that the Ten Commandments were inscribed by G-d on two stone tablets, forming a correlation between one set of five commandments inscribed on the first tablet and the second set inscribed on the second tablet. Thus the first commandment, “I am the L-rd your G-d” corresponds to the sixth commandment, “You shall not murder.”
