Anti-Antisemitism: Protecting and Defining Jews
December 13, 2022 - 7:00 pm
Ironically, it was anti-antisemitism that enabled the online white supremacists of the Alt-Right to use antisemitism to gain influence and notoriety. We are fortunate to live in a society that has made a commitment to anti-antisemitism—to repudiate antisemitism—a foundational expectation of normative politics, from left to right. Jacob Labendz will show that studying competing definitions of antisemitism and proposed mitigation strategies can reveal important differences in how communities and movements imagine the rightful place of Jews in society. In other words, we may learn more about the opportunities and challenges facing Jews today by studying anti-antisemitism than by focusing (understandably) on antisemitism alone. We may take neither for granted nor may we see them as unrelated. This subject matter is in keeping with Temple Beth Tikvah’s priorities.

Dr. Jacob Ari Lebendz
Jacob Ari Labendz directs the Gross Center for Judaic and Holocaust Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey. He researches and writes about the history of Jews in and from Czechoslovakia in the twentieth century, and contributes to scholarly discussions around nationalism, the Cold War, antisemitism, Holocaust memory, and Jewish food cultures. In addition to his articles and reviews, Jacob has published two edited volumes, Jewish Veganism and Vegetarianism: Studies and New Directions with Shmuly Yanklowitz (SUNY, 2019) and Jewish Property after 1945: Cultures and Economies of Ownership, Loss, Recovery, and Transfer (Routledge, 2017)., Jacob earned his Ph.D. in history from Washington University in St. Louis in 2014. He has taught and researched in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Berlin, and Prague.

If you wish to memorialize someone close to you who has passed away,
there is no better way than by purchasing a memorial plaque and having it placed on a large wall plaque in our sanctuary. Next to it will be placed a yahrzeit light which will always be lit on the appropriate
date.
If you wish to order this, please call Memorial Plaque Chairman, Ralph
Migdale, 973-366-1180. He will explain the procedure to you and send you the form to fill out, which you will return to him with a Check for
$250 made payable to Temple Beth Tikvah. When the plaque is finished, it will be sent to the temple. Ralph
will call you, and you can tell him where you want it placed or meet him
at the temple to place it with his help. Questions? Don't hesitate to
call Ralph.

WIN Food Pantry -
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
On Thursday, October 13, Peter Gately, Ken Lang, Janice Paul, Steve Pressler and I delivered over 90 bags of groceries as well as a number of monetary donations from people who were unable to shop, to the WIN Food Pantry as a result of our High Holiday Food Drive. The generosity of our temple members will help to keep the shelves at the Pantry full in order to meet the needs of our Wayne neighbors who need assistance in feeding their families.
I thank each of you who filled a shopping bag or wrote a check, and I thank Peter, Ken, Janice and Steve for helping me bring those bags to their destination. We all felt good about delivering the food, the Pantry volunteers felt good about receiving the food, and, most importantly, our neighbors in need will feel good about being able to use that food to fill their cupboards.
The WIN Food Pantry collection bin is open year-round outside the temple office for ongoing donations. We appreciate and anticipate your ongoing support for this very important project.
Thank you for all you’ve done, and in advance for your continuing support.
L’Shalom,
Lynn Cooper, 973-476-6563
TBT Representative to WIN
