More than 45 years ago, erev

the Six-Day War, composer

Naomi Shemer submitted

“Jerusalem of Gold” in the

1967 Israel Song Festival.

The song and the liberation of

Jerusalem are linked inextri-

cably in our hearts and souls,

then and now. I am quite sure

you know the tune as we use

it on Shabbat for various

prayers.

Some 46 years ago, May 13,

1967, Nasser ordered the

withdrawal of U.N. Emergency

Forces, which had been pre-

serving the peace along Is-

rael’s border with the Sinai,

Gaza and the southern Straits

of Tiran. May 20, 1967, at

the active encouragement of

their Soviet sponsors, Nassar

defiantly moved seven bri-

gades, two armored brigades,

100,000 soldiers and 1,000

tanks into those vacated bor-

der positions. May 27, 1967,

Nassar closed the Straits of

Tiran to Israel shipping, block-

ading Eilat.

Forty six years ago, Israel was

surrounded by 250,000

troops, 2,000 modern tanks

and more than 700 fighter

planes, and the world was

silent as Israel was threat-

ened with annihilation. June

5, 1967, Chief of Staff, Yitz-

chak Rabin authorized a pre-

emptive strike against Syria,

Jordan, Iraq and Jordan, de-

stroying 391 planes on the

ground and 60 in the air. It

was the first day of the Six-

Day War.

That same morning, June 5,

General Odd Bull of the

United Nations carried a mes-

sage from Israel to King Hus-

sein of Jordan, advising him

that Israel had no design on

Jordan if the Israel-Jordan

front remained quiet. June 5,

1967, King Hussein opened

fire on Israel, shelling Jerusa-

lem and Israeli cities, towns

and villages all the way to

suburbs of Tel Aviv.

Forty six years ago, June 7,

1967, Israeli Colonel Mordek-

hai Gur attacked through the

Lion’s Gate, and by 10:15

A.M., the blue and white flag

of Israel was raised over the

Temple Mount and the West-

ern Wall. Jerusalem was re-

united once again and be-

came the most well-known

symbol of Israel’s victory in

the Six- Day War.

Naomi Shemer’s composi-

tion, “Yerushalayim shel za-

hav,” became the hymn of

the Six-Day War. The melody

of “Jerusalem of Gold” be-

came such a part of Jewish

feelings that many congre-

gants from then, until now,

have chanted our sacred lit-

urgy to that stirring, haunting

motif, especially for occasions

that relate to Israel and Jeru-

salem.

Forty six years ago, another

song of Jerusalem was born,

as Israeli paratroopers liber-

ated the Old City, hand to

hand, house by house, alley

way by street.

Its story should also not be

forgotten. As the war contin-

ued to roar on other fronts

and even while the narrow

streets of the Old City were

still damp with blood, the Is-

raeli forces gathered in the

amphitheatre on Mount Sco-

pus to celebrate. On a make-

shift stage, Israel’s top stars

performed, Songs from Is-

rael’s history, ancient and

modern, rang through the cool

air of the night. Finally, as

Naomi Shermer sang her

“Jerusalem of Gold,” one of

the paratroopers rose from his

seat at the urging of his com-

rades and came forward to

the microphone to sing his

own version of Yerushalayim.”

The melody was the same,

and the rhythm and meter

was indeed Shemer’s song.

But this young soldier, Meir

Ariel, sang of the Jerusalem he

and his comrades had come

to know during the battle for

reunification, “Yerushalayim

shel barzel,” a Jerusalem of

steel and brass, of lead and

fire, of bitter fighting and

friends who will never em-

brace their comrades again in

life. Two sets of lyrics, two

ideas, both sharing the same

melody, one was a dream and

one was a nightmare, sharing

the same faith and destiny.

Message from the Board President OVS: Better than JDate!

If you are single, here is the deal: OVS is better than JDate!

While JDate can work for some, coming to OVS also can reward you in finding your soul mate.

In order for your chances to increase, here is a recipe for success: come to services, do

Tzedakah (pay your dues, donate,...), pray with faith, come to events, bring friends (singles!),

pray a little bit more,...stay for Kiddush (this is really important). Then, when you see an

attractive person (check for rings to make sure he /she is single), go introduce yourself.

Shy? Need some help? Ask the rabbi or, better, ask the President.

For your chances to increase, come more often!

At OVS you can have full service: besides finding your pair and having your ceremony,

do your party here. It worked extremely well for us and I wanted to acknowledge the great work all at OVS did, especially

Lynne, who made sure her first wedding event was successful. As an extra perk, your first year membership as a married

couple is on us.

I look forward to seeing you at the Kehilah. There's someone else waiting for you here. Just show up! Regularly. It works

not only for Presidents and Vice-presidents (lol). It can also work for you! In your 20's, 40's, 60's or 80's!

Jokes aside, Passover is now behind us (we left Egypt) and we are now counting down the days to celebrate receiving the

Torah.

Tamar and I wish you and your families Chag Shavuot Sameach.

Guy Harari

when the instruments of war

will be transformed into the

tools of peace.

However, the lyrics also speak

to our hearts today, no less

than they did forty six years

ago. “We have returned to the

wells of water, to the market

and the square, the Shofar

calls on the Temple Mount, in

the Old City...”

The People Israel has returned

to the land, and the sound of

the Shofar is heard once

again in the Old City. May its

sound never cease to stir our

souls as it did then ; may we

be the instruments through

which Israel’s song will always

be heard.

Chag Sameach to you and to

Yerushalayim!

Amen.

Rabbi Hayyim Kassorla

Even in exile, the Jews

dreamed and prayed to re-

turn, to restore the land and

rebuild their holy city of Jeru-

salem. Then Ezra and Nehe-

miah did so, with encourage-

ment from Cyrus of Persia,

and once again Israel lived

with a capital in Jerusalem for

centuries until once again

Rome destroyed her in 70

C.E., becoming once again

only a dream and a prayer.

After almost 2,000 years, we

have been privileged to see

Jerusalem and the modern

State of Israel come into be-

ing, fulfilling hopes and daily

prayers.

As we commemorate the an-

niversary of Israel’s victory

and her survival, we pray for

Jerusalem and Israel. We

hope that our young Jewish

men and women will never

have to sing again,

“Jerusalem of Steel,” but only

“Yerushalayim shel zahav.”

There has always been this

tension between the Jerusa-

lem of peace, our idealized

legends, and the Jerusalem of

reality and conflict, of dispute

and war. It is not just a mod-

ern phenomenon.

From antiquity, Jerusalem was

a prized defensible military

fortress for which nations

went to war for countless cen-

turies. After each war, new

layers of walls and towers to

defend the victor’s new city

were built upon ashes, debris

and rubble of the conquered

city. When King David de-

feated the Jebusites, some

3,000 years ago, the city of

David became, “Ir shel sha-

lom,” “Jerusalem,” the city of

Israel’s whole-ness, the sym-

bol of nationhood, the capital

for its government forever. In

that place, his son Solomon

built the Temple in which Jews

prayed until it was destroyed

by the Babylonians 2,600

years ago.

Message from the Rabbi (cont.)

Since our last Chai -lites issue, I'm happy to

report that Sisterhood continued its wonder-

ful tradition of a successful annual Donor

Luncheon.

But really, that is an understatement. Jackie

Benveniste, our donor chair this year, with

Janet Galanti, our donor consultant, and their

hardworking committee planned an after-

noon that was perfect in every way.

The social hall was awash in red and lunch

was delicious. Betty Israel and Sarah Duwell

were our deserving honorees, and Monica

Pearson was an inspiring guest speaker.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and for

the efforts of the volunteers, for a memora-

ble program.

In the ongoing news department, we have

continued to bake on Tuesdays (except for a

3 week Passover break). Elise Meyer is grate-

ful that all Bazaar orders are filled and the

freezer shelves are beginning to fill with

boxes of burekas.

At the last congregation Board meeting,

Rabbi Kassorla noted that Passover is the

time for us to remember G-d's blessing of

freedom from slavery for the Jewish People. I

personally feel grateful for G-d's blessings of

a strong sisterhood with a devoted and loving

membership.

Mazel Tov to our congregation President Guy

Harari and sisterhood Vice-President of or-

ganization, Tamar Amar on their marriage!!

We wish the beautiful couple a lifetime of

happiness together.

Please come share your Tuesdays with us,

and be on the lookout for details on our up-

coming closing luncheon and installation!

All my best,

Michelle Rich

“On behalf of the City of Brookhaven (and the 4th Dis-

trict), I want to thank you again for your hospitality.

You were all so gracious and kind and we are all very appreciative. A picture of the synagogue is on our City

website. Many people who otherwise would never have

even thought of entering Or VeShalom were amazed at the size and the beauty of it all, and all enjoyed the

Rabbi's history lesson and invocation.

My objective is to expose our new City residents to the

many cultural richness we are so blessed to have - and last Tuesday certainly achieved that goal. I look for-

ward to a future repeat performance. “

Joe Gebbia, Brookhaven City Council

“A little bird brought in 77 pounds of food from

OVS this week. What a clever idea to use mac &

cheese as groggers. I think I am going to use

that idea next year when talking to my synagogue groups that collect food for us. Last year, the

food pantry gave out over 5,450 pounds of food to over 1,525 persons in 860 households. We

could not do it without you. “

A visit with

dear friends

Message from Alan Simon:

“Just before Pesach I was

asked to make a business

trip to Richmond on the

second day of Passover,

March 26. I resigned my

self to the assignment and

made my reservations. It occurred to me that Rick and Sao Berkowitz

moved to Richmond a year ago. I made contact with Rick and he invited

me to Seder at their synagogue in Richmond. It was so nice to connect

with the Berkowitz family once again. Although Alexandra was at college,

Mariele joined us. Rick is a health media Executive, Sao is Director of

anesthesia at a local surgical center and Mariele is a junior in high

school. They live in a renovated Craftsman home in an attractive in-town

neighborhood. Contact Rick at: [email protected]. “ A few photos from

Purim Palooza 2013!
