MR. REINVENTION:
Yakov Smirnoff,
minus the laughs
Remember YAKOV
SMIRNOFF? Back
in the 1980s, he
was a stand-up sensation, comparing the
good things in America
with the bad or difficult
things in his native Soviet
Union. His signature line
(about America) was:
What a country! Well,
the end of the Cold War
in 1989 ended his big
popularity, although he
kept on performing.
From 1992 to 2015, he
owned a theater in
Branson, Missouri, where
he and other acts
performed. Branson, in
the heart of the Ozarks,
is a long way from
Odessa, where Smirnoff,
born Yakov Pokhris, was
raised. He and his
parents were allowed to
come to America in 1979.
He worked as a busboy
in the Borscht Belt
before making it
in comedy.
Branson has declined
a lot in the last 10 years,
because the senior
citizens who loved its
All-American (Andy
Williams, etc.) entertainment theaters mostly are
gone now. But Smirnoff,
62, already has reinvented himself. In the
last few years, he earned
a masters degree in
psychology from an affiliate of the University
of Pennsylvania. That degree fits in nicely with his

Fingerhut on Hillel
College organizations president to speak in Closter
JOANNE PALMER
Parents always worry when their children
go off to college.
Who will they meet? Will they eat right?
Will they sleep right? Will they work? Will
they play too hard? Or not at all? Will they
drift away? Will they stay in some other
part of the country? Will they call?
Will they be okay?
And of course Jewish parents have a
whole other set of worries. Will my kid
meet other Jews? Date other Jews? Marry
a Jew? Have Jewish kids?
Most likely, each generation of parents
has had its own specific issues. This generation of Jewish parents has to worry about
what seems to be an upsurge of anti-Zionist feeling on some campuses, and what
seems to turn into anti-Semitism on a few
of them.
There also are quite a few organizations
that help Jewish students stay connected
to the Jewish community, and to counter
the hostility that some might meet and
more might fear meeting. Chief among
those organizations, of course, is Hillel
International, the organization that offers
a home to Jewish students on more than
550 campuses around the world.
Eric Fingerhut, Hillels president, joined
the organization in 2013; before that, hed
gotten an inside view of university life as
chancellor of the Ohio board of regents,
and hed seen governance up close during
a term as a Democratic member of Congress from Ohio. Now, with those and a
wide range of other experiences that combine in a wide-ranging background, hes
running Hillel.
On the Shabbat that begins on Friday,
September 9, hell talk about Hillel and
Jewish life on campus at Temple EmanuEl of Closter. (See box.)
One of the things I love about Hillel is
that we get it all, Mr. Fingerhut said. All?
Whats that? We embrace all forms of
Jewish practice, he said. I can go from
Who: Eric Fingerhut, president of Hillel
International
What: Will be scholar in residence
Where: At Temple Emanu-El of Closter,
180 Piermont Road
When: On Shabbat, September 9-10;
hes speaking at Shabbat services,
which begin at 9, and again informally
at kiddush.
Why: To examine how to be Jewish
and proud on campus.

a Reform minyan with a guitar to a Conservative minyan led by a woman to a traditional mechitzah minyan, and then we
all get together and have dinner together.
Thats whats so powerful about Hillel. It allows us to connect to all forms of
Jewish life, and to build up one unified
community.
Hillels vision and responsibility is to
inspire every Jewish student to build an
enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel, he continued.
To be realistic, how do you do that? We
take seriously the mission and responsibility to reach every Jewish student on campus today, he said. They are coming
from a very diverse set of backgrounds.
We have many students from families
HILLEL INTERNATIONAL
that are very involved in the Jewish community and others that come from families that have no personal involvement in
the community. We have students from
multifaith families, students of color, students with disabilities. Hillels work is to
engage everyone, and to build a unified
Jewish community on campus, through
some of the most sophisticated peer-topeer engagement strategies that exist anywhere in the Jewish world.
Hes talking about a model that has professionals working with student leaders,
who reach out to their fellow students.
Its wide-ranging work, and it gives the
student leaders the chance to tailor their
approaches, learning how to listen, how to
intuit, and how to bend without breaking.

Masa. We want them to learn as much as
they can, to engage as much as they can, so
when the issues arrive, they can respond
effectively. (Birthright Israel takes Jews
between 18 and 26 years old to Israel on a
free 10-day trip. Onward Israel is the next
step, a six- to ten-week immersive program
in Israel; it is not free but is heavily subsidized. Masa comes next; it offers five- to
12-month internships, volunteer opportunities, and other programs in Israel. Hillel
works closely with all these organizations,
and others as well.)
Some schools environments are particularly hostile, Mr. Fingerhut said. Take,
for example, Vassar College, a liberal arts
school in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., one of the
Seven Sisters. (Full disclosure its my
alma mater, so I am particularly aware of
and horrified by the situation there.)
Vassar is an example of a school where
the anti-Israel environment became pervasive throughout many of the academic
departments, and truly pervasive, Mr.
Fingerhut said. (He did not have enough
time and I do not have enough space to
address why that anti-Israel feeling should
infect academics, but it does. Thats a
given.) It was truly unbalanced, and that
created a fertile environment for antiIsrael students.
BDS is losing ground overall, Mr. Fingerhut said. Its morphed a little bit, because
the pro-Israel community remember
that we have allies, and the pro-Israel
community is not all Jewish has become
more organized.
Among other responses, the Jewish
community has increased resources and
programming available on campus for Jewish and non-Jewish students who want to
learn about Israel.
That has not pleased the communitys
opponents.
In response, there is a growing frustration among the BDS forces, because
theyre not gaining traction, so the result
is that there are fewer BDS campaigns
but a growth of disruptive behavior on
the part of BDS advocates, Mr. Fingerhut continued. This is in many ways
more disconcerting that just a campus
political debate, because you are talking about physical intimidation, about
breaking student codes of conduct, and
of course about safety. So this is an occasion for us to engage with the university
on issues of safety and the question of
what is acceptable behavior and what is
out of bounds.
The good news, he said, is that there
is a huge increase of pro-Israel activity on

Because of the war on drugs, he said, we
have places like Florida, where one out of
every five black people cant vote because
they are felons.
That racial difference in the application of the criminal justice system, he said,
is so contrary to Jewish values. The most
energizing thing about Black Lives Matter is its talking about how we can bring
about justice.
The question of Israel in the platform is
a distraction from an urgency that is not a
black urgency but an American urgency, the
same way Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner spilled their blood together, he said.

Burglarized shul recovers Torahs
as fired caretaker is charged
LARRY YUDELSON
It is a tale of theft, recovery, and perhaps
a deeper loss.
Last week, Congregation Bnai Jacob
in Jersey City was the victim of theft
twice.
On Monday, August 22, someone
broke into the caretakers apartment in
the synagogue and stole two air conditioners, a refrigerator, and a television.
The next night, the criminal struck
again. This time, two Torah scrolls were
taken. So were the congregations silver
Torah ornaments, valued at $50,000.
The silver ornaments were taken from
the synagogues safe, in an office where
the two Torah scrolls that were stolen
had been stored. The Torah scrolls in the
ark were not touched.
This might not seem an auspicious
introduction to New Jersey for Rabbi
Aaron Katz. Rabbi Katz is new to the
congregation, where he started working on July 1. He came to Jersey City
from Miami.
But, the rabbi said last week, This
showed me also how strong the community is, how strong we are, how we
are looking forward to the future. Whats
amazing is to see how the board of directors, how the members, how everyone is
acting and collaborating.
This tzuris makes us stronger, he
said, using the Yiddish word for trouble.
As it happened, it didnt take all that
long for the police to find the thief.
Not many people knew the password
to the safe where the Torah ornaments
were kept. And a security camera outside a nearby parking lot captured the
picture of a suspect carrying the stolen
items in the night.

Saying goodbye
to the summer
ts funny. Just the way the Jewish holidays are never on time
theyre always early or late (and
this year theyre very, very late)
this year Labor Day is fairly late too.
But because although it doesnt
affect the time of sunset or the length
of the shadows or the heat of the sun,
Labor Day marks the end of the summer, no matter when Labor Day falls,
no matter how late it is, its always
too early.
Theres something undeniably
exciting about Labor Day. All of us
were children once; we all remember what a new school year felt like,
the excitement, the thrill, the new
clothes, the new school supplies, the
fresh everything, the uncertainty, the
tiny but undeniable trickle of dread.
Even those of us who have fulltime
year-round jobs still remember how
those lengthening shadows and the
increasingly golden tinge to the everearlier late afternoon light meant that
the summer was over.
Everything starts again now in

Israelis face an existential threat from potential Iranian nukes, Hezbollah terror raids,
Hamas rockets, and Palestinian stabbings
and bombs. The last thing thats on their
mind is a couple of students out in Berkeley
who want to pass a BDS motion at the student
council.
Second, Israelis survive through sheer
toughness and pure grit. They know they
are a nation alone. They are conditioned to
not giving a flying damn about what people
think of them. A nation that is proud to call
itself sabras, the famous cactus fruit, with
its prickly exterior, is hardly going to start
worrying what Socialist Worker activists in
Trafalgar Square think of them.
Third, Israelis justifiably feel
that BDS and anti-Israel demonization is not their fight. That
surely American Jews, British
Jews, and Australian Jews, who
are not called upon to risk their
lives dodging Hamas mortar
fire, should have some responsibility for the Jewish future.
No? And theyre the ones who
live in the countries that are
assaulting Israel. So let them
join the fray.
And finally, and perhaps
most importantly, Israelis are convinced that
the justice of their cause is so self-evident
that it requires no response. They scour their
neighborhood, survey their surroundings,
and surmise that the world could not possibly support honor-killing Hamas against
democratic Israel. The global community
could not possibly champion women-stoning, gay-hanging Iran over Israel. So Israelis
retreat from the battle in the belief that ultimately the PR war will settle itself and the
truth will come out.
But little do Israelis realize that they can
build up the strongest army in the world,
but it is useless if it is neutralized by international condemnation that portrays Israel

as an aggressor. A single CNN camera can neutralize an
entire brigade, and a New York Times editorial can keep
a squadron of F-15s on the ground rather than hitting
back against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. The PR battle for
Israel, which rages around the world, affects Israel in
every way, from a growing boycott of its goods, to the
demonization of its academics, to the attempt of arresting its government ministers when they travel abroad,
to the threat of physical danger and the murder of its
citizens when they travel abroad.
Is the fight against the Israel haters primarily the
responsibility of diaspora Jewry? I would say yes. But
we cannot fight this battle alone, without the active participation and engagement of the Israeli people. That
is why more diaspora Jewish speakers need to address
Israeli audiences about the level of threat. Simply stated,
Israeli engagement against BDS domestically is vital to
the efforts to defeat it abroad.
In the most straightforward sense, we diaspora Jews
need some of the basic on-the-ground facts and information as weapons in our arsenal for this war. And Im
not talking about facts that can be googled or even those
that I present in my new book, The Israel Warrior,
which gives vital information for Israel activists around
the globe in their battles on behalf of the Jewish state.
Rather, Im speaking about empirical facts that can be
known only to those who experience everyday life in
the Jewish state.
For instance, last week I visited the Jewish communities of Samaria in the West Bank, including Kfar Tapuach
and Yitzhar. We went to the Barkan Industrial Park and
met Palestinian workers at an Israeli-owned plastics factory. If I had not posted a video of some of the workers
comments, you would not believe what they said. How
they felt that their factory was not a business but a family. How the Israeli owners paid them approximately ten
times what they would earn working for Palestinian factories, and how the Jewish owners treated them with
unending dignity and respect. And, most importantly,
how much they detest the BDS movement for attempting to destroy their livelihood and force them to live in
squalor, all in the name of Israel-hatred that masquerades as Palestinian rights.
The money part of the video was when I asked a Palestinian worker what he thinks of BDS and he said he felt
it was Sh-t! Hows that for being politically incorrect?
Now, why havent these Arab men been interviewed before? Why havent they been asked to do a
speaking tour of American campuses, so that rather
than having ignorant and biased anti-Israel Western
students speaking in their name, Palestinian workers
themselves can offer their view of BDS and its harmful effects on Arab rights?
Because we in the United States did not even know
they exist, or that they are courageous enough to
speak out.
The video since has gone viral. But that is no substitute for an in-the-flesh first person account of these
workers exercising their right of free speech to say how
they feel without the Palestinian Authority intimidating
them into silence, or, worse, threatening them or their
families for speaking out on Israels behalf.
Israelis must awaken to the extreme dangers of
BDS and work with the American Jewish community to destroy this new iteration of Jew-hatred and
anti-Semitism.

Pivot or persevere
Another reason gaming has grown more
popular is because it is process-oriented.
Its one of the pedagogies, along with project-based learning (PBL), thats concerned
with how students learn and the success
skills they develop that are crucial for life.
One of those skills is the ability to deal with
failure, but because school has created a
kind of zero sum game when it comes to
success and failure, students dont see the
latter positively at all. And yet failure is a
constant of life, and something that we
need in order to ultimately succeed.
In games, failure is a given. Watching kids play a game, trying to get to
the next level, you know theyre constantly trying to figure out how to best

what it is theyre doing right and what
it is theyre doing wrong, often while
defeating an opponent at the same

Reflection
And speaking of reflection, another part
of process-oriented pedagogies such as
game-based learning is this component
of reflection. Games sometimes ask us to
map decisions and become aware of the
choices were making, and developers
now are interested in exploiting this positive aspect of gaming.
My colleague at Magen David Yeshivah High School, Ariella Falack, won
the Jewish Education Projects Young
Pioneer Award in 2016 for her work in
game-based learning. Shell be leading
a cohort of educators in GBL, and this
summer she attended a GBL conference
where she worked to create an ethics
game with a high school physics teacher
and a professor of ethics at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. The point
of the game, which won funding at the
conference to be developed this year, is
to challenge students to consider multiple perspectives of an ethical dilemma
and to chart the consequences of prioritizing one value over another when
making a final decision. The game
shows students that in real life we deal
not with black and white issues, but
with constant nuance and often competing loyalties. It asks students to reflect
on who they are as people and what
values are most important to them at a
given moment.
Serious play
Though the history of games shows that
even when they are married to religion,
they sometimes could be brutal, today
were seeing an interest in using games to
build values and the ability to make valuesbased decisions in our students. In a recent
training session with teachers at Yeshivat
Noam in Paramus, we bandied about an
idea for a simulation, a game based on
Build-a-Bear, where students would have
to build their ideal presidential candidate.
Over the course of the game, theyd have
to figure out how to speak politely with
someone who holds opposing political
beliefs. The teachers and I discussed how
to get kids to apply the rules of chavruta
learning, where you are engaged in active
and lively but respectful debate, to
conversations about political difference.
We imagined what it would be like for students who engaged in this kind of game
to then enter the world as citizens, ones
who are informed and curious and who
knew how to treat any person, even an
opponent, with dignity.
Now that would be an augmented reality.

as getting Albert Einstein into the United
States and establishing the Princeton- (but
not Princeton University-) based Institute
for Advanced Studies.
His biographer, Ms. Forgosh, herself is a
New Jersey native whose story in some ways
is a story of the Jewish community here.
Lets start with Louis Bamberger.
In the late 19th century, Newark was a
manufacturing center, Ms. Forgosh said.
It was the fourth biggest city in America,
and you name it, they made it. Leather
goods and patent leather and jewelry and
bugy seats, among many other things;
the emphasis on leather was because
of Seth Boyden, a pioneer in the field,
whose businesses were in Newark. It also
produced a huge range of early plastics,
lamps, and dentures. Thomas Edison
invented the stock ticker in Newark. It was
a seaport and a major rail hub. It was the
brewing center for the whole eastern seaboard. It was full of immigrants and teeming with life.
It had a huge Jewish population. The
citys best-known Jewish neighborhood,
Weequahic, unpronounceable to outsiders, made legend by Philip Roth but actually entirely real and the ancestral home
of countless Jersey Jews, at its peak, in the
1950s and 60s, had as many as 17 synagogues in a 54-block radius, Ms. Forgosh
said. I would say that the whole city had up
to 150 synagogues, counting the sometimes
nameless little neighborhood shtiebels.
Louis Bamberger was born in Baltimore
in 1855, six years before the start of the
Civil War. His maternal grandfather, a successful merchant, founded a highly successful and influential general store, Hutzler Brothers, in that city; Louis father and
his uncles worked there, and soon Louis
did too. Bamberger learned the business
just sitting in his parents dining room,
Ms. Forgosh said. During the Civil War,
they were the largest manufacturers of
uniforms for the Army, and of clothing
items in general. They all discussed business, and he was a quiet sort of guy, who
just sat there and absorbed it.
He worked at his uncles store, and he
spent his life learning the retail business.
But the business was his uncles, not his
fathers, and I think that one morning
he woke up and told himself I will never
advance here, so he moved to New York.
There, he gained more experience, realized that he wanted to work for himself,
found a business partner, went to Newark, and took a big chance.
He opened his new store, L. Bamberger
and Co., in 1892.
Bamberger did not pioneer the concept of the department store, which Ms.

altered there.
The radio station WOR also had its start
in L. Bamberger & Co. Somebody had to
come up with an idea about how to sell
a new invention radio tubes, Ms. Forgosh said. The tubes were manufactured
in Newark. Bamberger came up with the
idea of starting a radio station. The store
was the first one in the country to have its
own station.
The store, in other words, offered services as well as goods. And it reflected the
growth of the country, Ms. Forgosh continued. It was progressive and democra-

said; still, his parents had only one grandchild. Of the two brothers and five sisters,
only two married, and only one had a
child. But Bamberger was deeply loyal to
his family; he had no close friends other
than his siblings.
Despite his love for Newark, Bamberger
did not live in the city. He had a 35-acre
estate in South Orange, which included a
working farm, Ms. Forgosh said, and this
was just one of his many homes.
Bambergers interests included the Institute for Advanced Studies, an early (and
still extant and much expanded) think
tank. He endowed it with the proceeds of
the sale of Bambergers, and among other
things it provided an academic home for
Albert Einstein. Bamberger and Einstein
were friends, Ms. Forgosh said. They
shared many things German Jewish culture, the German language, their love of

The Dear Rabbi Zahavy column offers mindful advice based on Talmudic
wisdom. It aspires to be equally open and meaningful to all of the varieties
and denominations of Judaism. You can find it here on the first Friday of the
month. Please email your questions to zahavy@gmail.com.
not, in this 21st century, Orthodox Jewish women still sit in the shul behind the
mechitzah, and cannot receive Torah
honors or lead the services. They cannot
divorce their husbands, no matter how
abusive and awful the spouses are.
And those are just the highlights of the
discriminatory, segregationist character of
the Orthodox world. The discrimination
runs deep, and it runs strong. And to top
it all off, the rabbis say that what they are
preaching and doing is Gods will.
Mr. Trump may have wrong ideas and
policies, but he does not attribute them
to divine origins. And being the flighty,
erratic, capricious, opportunistic person
that he is, tomorrow Trump could turn
around and disavow all those bad ideas.
Prudence dictates that at least the
Orthodox rabbis stay silent about the
biases and discriminatory policies of others, until they have cleaned up their own
acts in these areas. And by the way, that is
not likely to happen anytime soon, if ever.
Accordingly, let me underline that
sadly our traditions continue to support
discrimination and targeted segregation,
even after all the reforms in America of
the past generation have moved the main
legal barriers away and brought American
culture and politics closer to affording fair
and equal civil rights across the board to
all of our citizens.
The 45 rabbis are wrong to pluck this
and that out of our tradition to condemn
the rhetoric of a specific man at this precise time. Its a near perfect case of a segregationist and racist pot calling a segregationist and racist kettle black.
But, you may insist further, isnt it
urgent and moral to call out an imminent
danger to our country, if that is what you
believe Trump represents? Well of course,
yes. But do you know what? Even if this
ruthless man Trump were to be elected,
I am sure that his awful, ridiculous opinions never would become law or practice
in our land.
Our democracy is strong, and our systems of checks and balances make it
impossible for one dangerous man, even
if he is elected president by some compounded quirks of our voting, to dictatorially impose ruinous policies on our
nation. His harmful racist views will not
become our laws. It will not happen.
Ultimately, I urge that you go out and
vote based on your own innate practical
and secular assessments. In this matter,
please, do not seek out the advice of religions or of rabbis.
Tzvee Zahavy received his Ph.D. from
Brown University and his rabbinic
ordination from Yeshiva University. He is
the author of many books about Judaism,
including Jewish Magic, a new Kindle

abbi Donniel Hartman begins Putting God Second: How To Save Religion
From Itself by questioning the conflation of the metaphysical and the martial.
He recalls standing in an Israeli military cemetery, wondering why the chaplain had to assert
that his brother-in-law, a casualty of Israels 1982
Lebanon War, fell al kiddush haShem, in sanctification of Gods name. After all, that war now is widely
regarded as a fiasco that wreaked a devastating toll
on the Lebanese civilian population,
To Hartman, the chaplains talk represented
a disquieting mixture of the concerns of a state
and those of the deity worshipped by many of its
citizens.
This conflation is hardly unique to Israel and
Judaism. Back when Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld regularly briefed President George W.
Bush on the progress of the war in Iraq, his reports
often included cover sheets with triumphant Bible
verses superimposed on full-color military action
