S pring is almost upon us at long last and with it comes new

growth. New at KLS is the first of a series of discussions of

Liberal Jewish attitudes to some important topics and these will

follow the third Friday Night service of the month (page 6).

The arrival of spring also means Pesach is just around the corner.

At this month’s Shabbat Olam service we will be sharing each

other’s Pesach traditions (page 6). Don’t forget to book your

place at our communal seder—the organisers need to know

PAGE 2 KINGSTON NEWS BULLETIN

Dear KLS member

T his is my 27th Word from the

Chair. My words are

Management (and leadership)

Magic, Mood, Matilda and

Marketors. “The five Ms.”

Management (and

leadership)

There’s a lot written on

management and leadership. Here

are a few thoughts on their

application to synagogues.

Everyone is a “manager”, even if

they don’t have their own staff. At

the very least they need to manage

themselves and their own tasks. In

an organisation like KLS, that has a

full range of functions and many

religious, outreach, social and

educational events, people carry a

lot of responsibility.

That’s obviously true of the Rabbi

as spiritual leader and with

involvement in so many other

things. But it is also true for the co-

ordinator at the front of house and

bookkeeper at the back of house,

our other staff and volunteers.

Leadership is about blending “hard

and soft power”. Telling and selling.

Paying and persuading. Debating

and deciding. If you spend too

much time debating and never

trying things out, you become a

N.A.T.O.—a No Action Talk

Organisation. (Kodak did little to

face digital competition.) If you

spend too much time deciding and

never reflecting or consulting, you

become a F.A.R.O.—a Fire Aim

Ready Organisation. (The banks

that plunged into sub prime debt.)

Leadership is about seeing both the

detail and the bigger picture. You

need the detail for good execution,

when contracts, plans and projects

are important. You need to see the

bigger picture for strategy, when

values and aims are important.

Finally, leadership style needs to

adapt to the situation. One of the

reasons so many hero leaders are

now zeros was that they couldn’t

change their style when situations

required it.

Magic

I was at the Magic Circle recently

with friends. They provide a close

up magic show, talk on the history

of magic, stage show and

refreshments at their headquarters

near Euston

Station. It’s a

great

evening out.

It’s not

heavily

promoted.

Nigel Jackson originally told me

about the show. I am always

amazed at just how seemingly

effortlessly I can be fooled by

magic. Perhaps I am cynical but it’s

a reminder not to take things at

face value.

Mood

Hopefully we are emerging at long

last from the coldness, wetness and

darkness of winter. And also the

darkness of mood. At the beginning

of this year so many people

complained to me about “being

down”. The weather, the recession,

financial pressures, work pressures,

transport and life generally all

seemed to play a part.

Sometimes small things seem

bigger. The driver in a rush who

cuts you up. The buses that are

cancelled. The elderly parents with

health problems. The children who

aren’t coping. And so on. I have no

simple answer to all this. But KLS

can help members through:

• The pastoral care role of the

Rabbi

• Keep In Touch run by Jenny

Osorio

• Fellowship and social events

• Helping others who are worse off

through Outreach.

WORD FROM THE CHAIR

The Five Ms

VOLUME 4, ISSUE 3, MARCH 2013 PAGE 3

WORD FROM THE CHAIR

��continued from page 2

Matilda

My family saw Matilda at the

theatre to celebrate my twins’

birthday. It was good, but not

great, but with incredible

performances from children. But

the sound quality was poor. I don’t

expect to hear everything as I have

a big hearing loss; but even my

children struggled.

On reflection, I am not going to

see Great Expectations, because I

am bound to be disappointed.

Marketors

I am a member of the Marketors

Livery Company for eminent

marketing people (they let me in

by mistake). Each year a new

Master (equivalent to the Chair) is

appointed at a big dinner. This

year the Master Elect dramatically

resigned in the course of his

speech. It turns out that there are

big conflicts.

It’s a reminder that organisations

(and people) are often like

icebergs; you only see what’s on

the surface.

I liked

� “We are the revolting children

Living in revolting times

We sing revolting songs

Using revolting rhymes.”

From Matilda

� Sarah Silverman, on the

miracle of everyone starting life as

a sperm.

“I can’t believe I was ever that

thin.” (A bit sad really?)

� A well know Jewish pub called

“Kosher Horses”

(Think about it.)

� Question: What do you put on

your beef burger? Answer: A fiver

each way.

And finally

� “This Day Is The Day”

Joanna Lumley

� “If Africa was full of

labradoodles dying of aids we’d

take care of it in a day.”

(I don’t know who said this but I

suspect it’s true .)

WRESTLING WITH ISRAEL

M any of you may have read of

the successful six week

evening course at KLS that ended in

the middle of December entitled,

“Wrestling with Israel—Wrestling

with Ourselves.”

It was very well attended with an

average of about thirty people each

week. We had the advantage of

excellent outside speakers for five

out of six of the sessions. They

brought a new perspective and

focus to the highly complex issues

that confront Israel in its dealings

with the Palestinians.

We planned the series carefully to

try to include speakers and topics

which reflected the different views

about Israel within our community,

to learn to discuss the topics from a

more informed position and to

listen to each other and respect our

differences.

A Liberal Jewish obligation

On the issue of the importance of

Israel to Liberal Jews, Steven Jaffe

quoted Liberal Judaism’s chairman,

Lucian Hudson, who has

encouraged us all, “…to relate with

the situation at a human and

national level by keeping well

informed about Israel….”

On the same topic, our Rabbi

Charley Baginsky, said in her Yom

Kippur address in 2011

“I am going to stand up and let

people know the different sides of

Israel … I will understand my

Zionism as, in part, helping Israel be

the best she can be. That is my

responsibility and I believe that it is

yours too.”

Understanding different

views

In the last session, which you can

read about in a review of the whole

course in the next KNQ, we tried

with the help of our speakers,

Steven Jaffe (Board of Deputies)

and Luke Akehurst (We Believe in

Israel), to penetrate and

understand the purposes behind

some of the propaganda that

inevitably surrounds any discussion

of the Jewish State.

“Where to next?” was the question

we posed to the speakers.

continued on page 5 ��

Judy Thwaites explains what we all can do to participate and contribute to a more balanced debate about

Israel and Palestine drawing on the experiences and suggestions of experts who spoke at KLS’s “Wrestling

with Israel” course at the end of last year.

Setting up a Grassroots Israel Group (GIG)

The course

The course’s six sessions brought new perspectives to the debate about

Israel and Palestine. These included

• The work of FODIP (Forum for the Discussion of Israel and Palestine)

to encourage dialogue between Jews, Christians and Muslims

• The experiences of a blogger who monitors anti-semitism and

attempts to deligitimise Israel in the media

• Views from two Israelis and their friends, how they have changed,

and their concerns about how Israel is portrayed in the UK

• A new film showing the work of the Bereaved Families Forum in

bringing together Israeli and Palestinian families who have been

bereaved as a result of the conflict

• A high powered talk on the continuing work of British Israel

Communications and Research Centre (BICOM) to defend the

position of Israel at governmental levels

• Practical advice on starting a local grassroots group seeking to create

a more complete understanding of Israel and its situation in the UK

A review of some of the talks which were given will appear in the next

edition of KNQ (KLS’s quarterly magazine).

GRASSROOTS ISRAEL GROUP

��continued from page 4

Luke told us that historically

groups have concentrated on the

media and top level decision

makers in the country and that the

grassroots have been under

resourced.

But grassroots pressure works.

We only have to look at the

success of the Palestinian

Solidarity Campaign with its

Boycott Divestments and Sanctions

(BDS) Campaign against Israel.

(This group started as a grassroots

group and now has branches

everywhere in the UK.)

Small numbers of active vocal

people can get their opinions

heard (for example in the recent

cases of large organisations such

as Unite and the Co-op).

What can we do to help?

Below are some things we can do.

1. Stay informed, write letters to

MPs, the press and stakeholders,

sign petitions, vote in elections

asking candidates where they

stand

2. An all day workshop organised by

FODIP together with Twickenham

United Reform Church one Sunday

this Spring

3. Contact the London office of the

“OneVoice” movement for help

and further advice and information

at www.onevoicemovement.org

4. Support and attend meetings of

the South London Israel Forum

5. Support the initiative of the group

of members of Kingston United

Synagogue who are in continuing

talks with local Methodist leaders

and Quakers

6. Subscribe and keep up to date with

what is going on (not just when

Israel hits the headlines with

renewed reporting of the conflict)

7. Write to thank MPs when you see

a supportive comment or article

about Israel

8. Identify allies and build alliances

with potential supporters outside

the Jewish community

9. A small crisis management team of

people with the biggest possible

email list so we can keep the

community informed in real time

10. Attend and support Israeli cultural

events

11. Use a friend or family in Israel to

hear their personal experience

which can be told to others so they

can hear what is happening on an

individual level

12. Look regularly at websites with

information about Israel (see panel

above)

13. Set up a Grassroots Israel Group

at KLS – a KLS GIG? Only a small

number of people between 5 and

10 are needed to take a lead and

be publicly visible.

Interested in a GIG?

If you are interested in setting up

or co-ordinating or leading a group

please email

Mozart, Mickey Mouse & The Hoover: The

Making Of Maurice Sendak

An illustrated talk by Irene Wise

Tuesday 5 March 5.30 to 7.30 pm

University of Roehampton Library, 4th floor, Archive

Seminar Room (416A)

Maurice Sendak, writer and illustrator of children's

books, died last May. Sendak is best known for his 1963

picture book 'Where The Wild Things Are', which was

turned into a film and an opera. Sendak's influences are

diverse: they include German Romantic Art, as well as

childhood incidents, Jewish stories, and American

popular culture. Sendak wrote eloquently about music,

illustration and the events that shaped his work. Irene

will draw on Sendak's own words to trace the sources of

the artist's inspiration.

Irene Wise is a freelance artist, illustrator and writer.

She is Holocaust Educator at the Imperial War Museum,

Senior Lecturer in Media and Culture at Roehampton

University; and Creative Educator at the British Library.

For Penguin Books, Irene has written and curated an

interactive iPad app of Anne Frank's Diary.

Please join the JRC for this fascinating talk. It would be

very helpful if you could let Maria Collins know if you

are planning to come at [email protected]

Mazel tov to Eileen Abrams on the birth of a

great-granddaughter, Yasmine, a second child

for Joel and Hannah Abrams;

to Ron and Judy Thwaites, a grand-daughter,

Isla Jane, first child for Meghan and David

Thwaites;

and to Dominique Scholtes on her admission

to Judaism

We warmly welcome into the KLS family:

Carole Goldring from Kingston

Lianne Aviram, Robert Simmons and Oliver

Whiteside as student members

Unfortunately several members have been or

are in hospital and together with those

struggling at home with illness we wish them

all a steady return to better health.

If any members are able to help by giving lifts

to members who need transport, even if only

on an occasional basis, please let me know.
