Over manydecades, our membership has shrunk due todemographic patterns in western Chicagoland, whichwas once a major center of Jewish life, due to broaderpatterns in this country regarding the popularity ofinstitutional religion, and also due to trends in theConservative movement.But our membership has stabilized and even risenin recent years. Now is the time to surge ahead.This means that we need all of you to beambassadors to sing our praises to your friends andthe wider community. Do not hesitate to recommendus to others, and if you do, please let myself, ourmembership committee, or our executive directorCharles Shapera, know about the contacts you havemade.We are presently working on a new website thatwill be the fresh face of our congregation.

FROM THE EDUCATION DIRECTOR’S DESKGivingJudaism a Vote“Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we makeour choices. Then our choices make us.” —Anne FrankAs a history major at WashU, I learned that history isnot inevitable—it is made up of choices thatindividuals make, working off the best informationavailable to them at the time. How do individualsmake these decisions? A number of factors play a role;for those acquainted with them, Jewish values areamong the things that could weigh in.Let’s consider an example of this. At the time ofthe American Revolution, there were somewherebetween 1,000 and 2,500 Jews in the Americancolonies. Like their fellow colonists, they had tofigure out which side to take in the conflict, and liketheir fellow colonists, many of them were indeedconflicted.In addition to the personal considerations, therewere also competing Jewish values. The values thatwould lead one to be a Tory included: Dibbuk(Loyalty), Dina d’Malchuta Dina (The Law of theLand is the Law), and Mitpalel biShloma shel Malchut(Pray for the Welfare of the Government). The valuesthat would lead one to be a Patriot included: Cheirut(Freedom), B’Tzelem Elohim (Equality), and TzedekTzedek Tirdof (Justice). According to the historianJonathan Sarna, most Colonial Jews eventually sidedwith the Patriots. Many of them fought and died forthe Patriots, and some contributed in other ways. ForWorking withAPAC:Right, APAC youth afterplanting flowers and veggies.Below: The word gets around,and a River Forest residenthas been donating baby itemsto APAC. This was a truck andtrunk load!instance, Haym Solomon helped secure financing forthe Revolution. There is a statue of him in Chicago,on Upper Wacker between Wabash and State Street.Haym Solomon is also the reason there’s a Jewish staron the dollar bill (above the eagle’s head on the backof the bill).Decision-making, even when guided by Jewishvalues, is not always easy. My last day of studentteaching was on the first day of Passover. I seteverything up so I could show up and teach withoutbreaking any of the rules for a festival. Then my classsurprised me with a party, including a cake. They hadgone out of their way to make sure that it was evenkosher. It was a very pretty cake, and verychametzadik. Within seconds, I had to decide—do Ieat the cake? On the one hand, it was Passover. Onthe other hand, there is a Rabbinic interpretation ofthe Sixth Commandment (“Do not murder”) as “Donot embarrass,” and keeping Passover did not makethe Ten Commandments. So, I ate the cake. There’s aYiddish saying that if you’re going to eat pig youmight as well enjoy it, so I definitely enjoyed my oneslice of cake.At Har Zion, we want to show how Judaism isrelevant and adds meaning to one’s life. In the KovenReligious School, we do this through talking aboutJewish values, such as the value of Shmirat HaLashon(Guarding One’s Speech) around Yom Kippur, andLo Ta’amod Al Dam Rei’echa (Don’t Be a Bystander)around Purim. We also have classes for adults, such asthe Monday classes on Pirkei Avot, where we look athow the wisdom of the ancient rabbis is applicable toour lives today.As we continue to make choices, I hope you willconsider letting Judaism have a vote!DAVID SCHWARTZ; IOUS-SCHOOLSOCIAL ACTION AND ADAMAH/GREEN COMMITTEESReaching Across Austin:PLASTIC BENCH UPDATE: Watch for the announcement in latesummer on presenting our first recycled plastic bagbench to APAC.MENTORING NEW GARDENERS: In addition to our AdamahGarden at the temple, we are working to plant anative garden for the APAC homes on Parksidethat will be good for the environment and providesustenance for bees, birds, and butterflies.

Pride is both ajubilant communal celebration of visibility and apersonal celebration of self-worth and dignity. ThisPride Month, we recognize the valuable contributionsof LGBTQ individuals across America, and wereaffirm our commitment to standing in solidaritywith LGBTQ Americans in their ongoing struggleagainst discrimination and injustice.”The current movement towards LGBTQ equalitygrew out of two events in the mid-to-late 1960s: theCompton’s Cafeteria Riots (1966) and the StonewallUprising (June, 1969). “Remembering the truths ofthe Stonewall Uprising and the Compton’s CafeteriaRiots will help that fight. Both of these events wereriots led by trans women of color, two essential factsabout these events that are often forgotten.” Neitherwas peaceful; both were touched off by policeharassment of trans women of color. Trans women ofcolor are still subject to extraordinary violence and“have been ostracized from the LGBTQ community.”The History of Pride Part 1: Events thatMade An Impact (Stonewall and Compton)The month of June is recognized around the globe asa time to celebrate LGBTQ individuals. Every year,there are rainbow-filled parades, festivals, andfundraisers all over the world not only to celebratethe progress that has been made, but also to raiseawareness of the change still necessary to achieve trueequality. However, the LGBTQ community is aswide and varied as the ever-growing acronym.Learning about the history of the struggles andmilestones of the different parts of the queercommunity helps us all understand the fight forequality and sheds light on the leadership of the transwomen of color. Although it might not have made itinto your US history textbooks, there is a lot of richLGBTQ history that weaves a narrative thateveryone who rides a float or cheers at a paradeshould know.It was not easy being LGBTQ in the 1960s andpreceding decades. Coming out as gay, lesbian,bisexual, or transgender often led to people beingkicked out of their homes, ostracized by their familyand friends, and losing their jobs. In New York City,it was illegal for people to solicit others of the samesex or engage in gay behavior, including holdinghands, kissing, or dancing with someone of the samesex. Additionally, cross-dressing was illegal, meaningthat you could be arrested for dressing in clothes forpeople of the opposite sex. Because their publicbehavior was extremely policed, many people in theLGBTQ community considered gay bars and clubsto be the “safest” places where they could bethemselves. However, the police frequently raidedthese establishments and arrested anyone engaging inthose illegal behaviors. In the late-1960s, LGBTQ people, especially transgender activists of color,fought back against the discrimination they werefacing. This started the biggest LGBTQ movementin history. Here are some prominent events thatstarted the movement towards LGBTQ equality:The Stonewall Uprising:The Stonewall Inn, a gay club in New York City, wasknown to welcome all LGBTQ people, includingdrag queens and runaway and homeless LGBTQ youth. In the early morning of June 28, 1969, thepolice raided the Stonewall Inn and arrested 13 people.Those arrested included employees of the club as wellas people who were cross-dressing. While all of thiswas happening, the patrons who were kicked out ofthe bar gathered outside of the bar to protest thearrests of people in the LGBTQ community. Whenan officer used his baton to hit Stormé DeLarverie inthe head, the rioting began. Within minutes, hundredsof people gathered outside of the bar, throwing bricks,bottles, and rocks at the club and police officers, andset the Stonewall Inn on fire. Rioting and protestscontinued over the next six days. These events, soon tobe known as the Stonewall Riots, gave a voice toLGBTQ people and began a movement that manypeople consider to be the catalyst for LGBTQ liberation. In late-June of 1970, cities around thecountry held the first Pride Parades to commemoratethe impact that the Stonewall Riots had on the nation.Because the Stonewall Riots began in June, June hasbeen declared Pride Month and is celebrated aroundthe world.Compton’s Cafeteria Riot:In August of 1966, three years before the StonewallUprising, a groundbreaking riot in the name of transContact the office for our online program password.06/30/21 — Page 7

rights broke out in Gene Compton’s Cafeteria. Compton’s was a24-hour cafeteria in San Francisco that was frequented by transwomen, drag queens, and gay hustlers. The employees ofCompton’s regularly called the police at night, wanting to clearthe place out of LGBTQ people. When the police raidedCompton’s, they harassed and arrested trans women and dragqueens for “female impersonation.” One early morning in Augustof 1966 (the exact date is unknown), when a police officergrabbed a drag queen in Compton’s, she threw a cup of coffee inhis face. In that moment, the other drag queens and trans womenpresent started rioting. They flipped tables, threw cutlery andsugar shakers, and hit police officers with their purses. Peopleoutside of Compton’s fought back as police tried arresting them,destroyed a cop car, and set a newsstand on fire. This eventbecame known as the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot and was “the firstknown instance of collective militant queer resistance to policeharassment in United States history,” according to Susan Stryker,historian and director of the documentary Screaming Queens. TheCompton’s Cafeteria Riot represents the first movement fortransgender ri
