Portion of the Week; Devarim 31-5, Fink and Guest

it's been it's

b de la chaise all although only eight days harshaw i am days all portions of the week the bible was read in the synagogue with rebutting commentary this evening we hear rabbi leon be think spiritual leader of the congregation beth shalom of kings bay brooklyn new york his guest is dr richard m silberstein medical director of the staten island mental health center and continuing with the text deuteronomy we find moses told the jews call the children of israel from god and therefore they shall be punished they shall be punished bitterly and that no one from that generation from the dark comic book or a generation of the desert shall come into israel and noses and self was also not allowed to go into the land the vision and promise land

partially due to the rebellion of the jews the mutiny of the jews we find in those forty five other interesting women to comment and the bible tells is live tissue for the typical internet and it will show maude night because of the law has an operation and there many comments upon this verse alone but i showed well for the moment upon one comment the verse states and he returned to work before the lord and rabbis commented that got sent to the juice tonight you'll weep for no reason but i shall say to that throughout generations to come you shall we do for a reason for that night was to shabaab tonight they evolve which according to the town with the temple was destroyed as this has been a source an apparent in a night of mourning for luxury says the stretch to the temple and the

night they evolve we get into synagogues we mourn the destruction of the temple so therefore god said because you wait for no reason i shall give to jews throughout time a reason to weep on this night and this of course dr silverstein brings us to the overwhelming overwhelming subject of the diaspora the jews in exile and on this subject it was like to discuss many facets but we'll begin we are dispersed among the nations of the world for that night the temple was destroyed in the tuesday after until the state of israel cannot call israel is our way we live today speaking of the jewelers in america and apparently in a country that has certainly the jews as part of that as anybody is anybody else he's a citizen of this country considers himself was such a nice one and yet they are problems

in their diaspora that must be confronted must be faced the matter how unpleasant that missing that you is a minority in this country and therefore this raises certain problems living as we do an open society with a vigil is unique experience he hasn't lived an open society since forty ninety two images were exposed last open society my memory serves her correctly the spain the spanish expulsion of a jew and here was bill itself is an interesting problem the jewish outpost of school he studies forty nine into means an important date for him it means that the congress came to discover this country and then he goes to his jewish religious school and where is the forty nine he too was a message of course but it was also a date that saw the expulsion of the jews from spain with the inquisition and this can create problems

another example would be studying american history channel's confronted with the fact that to goose aides are romantic period and lord knows how many movies have been made in hollywood and this great romantic period and then he comes face to face with a factor in the really risk or religious school that a great portion of your injury was destroyed by the crusaders and therefore this creates a problem how we raise our children living as we do american citizens as jews but we raise them as part of america and yet make them aware that the majority culture is perhaps not as oriented as we would like to see and understandably so i'm i think when you and i were very small with autocrats for perfect that our parents could commit crimes and could do nothing wrong and their decisions were always correct and then we started kindergarten or first grade and we discover the

teachers do things differently than their parents would do them we discovered that human beings believe things differently than our parents as republicans we discovered they were democrats in the world and that's where democrats would describe discovered there were republicans in the world and so we began our long search for our own independence our own belief and our own philosophies and play and this is part of human growth and part of a constructive approach to the growth of an individual or the growth of the people i'm guy raz at the same time this was an experience of growth for you discovered that he

was really minimize follows well i think the only reference that you made to the jewish child who is exposed to the crusades search of a spanish inquisition or too rich and venice and sherlock's unfortunate role as gollum in this particular point lead for the right to show a form of jewish children and be helpful to them im not achieving their own independence and their own identities as oppressive plea raise the question of time at her twelve part don't you feel it the merchant of venice as i remember was taught my tie but it's a traumatic experience for a child or even a high school art records top nominees clean but even high school for a jewish child who were you know a sneeze at the wrong time can become a soldier well it would not be the

foremost i think that a significant for child another during the time of shakespeare and was one of the single greatest english writer one of the greatest english writer whose people didn't think so well the jews and this is what i mean that traumatic any do you know that of course shakespeare is almost worshipped in our literature and rightfully so answer you as you say one of the greatest not the greatest writer and to find someone of shakespeare's danger to write a play that doctor is not anti semitic tirades of the medieval period it doesn't do much good for that estimate on the planet there are no jules verne shakespeare's time in england because they had been expelled us emotionally still has been undergone that experience through immigrant client appearance with the belief that there were no prejudice against liberals in this country now you will be disturbing video chat to be confronted with huckleberry finn certain parts of huckleberry finn we are the references are very derogatory

know i don't i don't think that this is so so i feel quite strongly about that that's good for children to face up to the university they will have to deal with in life provided that is presented to the internet when they can deal with its controller these are really traumatic for a jewish child to grow up most of his life not knowing that there's such a thing as anti semitism and then be confronted with pictures of the destruction of the jews in germany and poland and you're hearing are so it's a comforting for jewish child to grow up with children of other faiths to know that they are earnest in their their beliefs and that they are not enemies normal level by the same token it's worthwhile for the trial to know that there are individuals and groups who will oppose the jewish child or any minority group and for reasons that are

unreasonable let me ask you this when he's trying to raise our children to experience and from harming from hurt we weren't subjected to any pain and yet in this area which is such a painful you are advocating that we subjected to a painful experience why can't we just all this as much as we can i don't think any child raised in today's site you can read can be yo unaware that this prejudice and the girl child and it has to look at the paper is a jewish child has to see the news today from russia from other parts of north america countries and each other reads when they eat and we all know how to read those of this prejudice but this subject into this prejudice is it so listen to during childhood is it important that you just did this were both lawyers would talk about things that make children ill child who knows exposed to dangerous to wear only

one he is incapable of dealing with the mental concepts these dangers created is damaged it may lead to a zealous at the same time the child who has protected too long from facing the realities of life and finding his own adjustments adjustments to them is also a child who is damaged he was hurt by the very parents who loved him so much that they wish to spare in the spring all of us must grow up all of us must and i've discovered that there is a reason for the way the world is made all of us must find out for ourselves that our parents were wrong in some things that are parents were right ways all of us must be sufficiently prepared of your childhood for adversity but we can take it without flinching when we grow up and no parent knows how much aggressive a child will face when he becomes an adult the

letter we don't expose a three year old to the merchant of venice on the same time by the same token to expose a sixteen year old or a fifteen year old to the merchant of venice i don't believe would become wow i guess i'd have to say that we have to call fight for it at a jewish child your city that may not be dramatic would accept a group that for reduced how vinnie a small community where he is the only jewish family may very well be a dramatic actor when to do with vets would depend on the mekong is as tense relationship with his own farm laborers closeness to them as the dedication with his celebrity as a jew his feelings confidence in his parents his trusted his parents and the way that the percentage of using to them why second survey subscribe to that you think that they basically begins at all and the responsibility must love the parents to use their judgment and make believe in

hokkaido as the flow of the case as character whispering don't want children will be exposed and state thank you for here comes the subject certainly is important thank you thank you for yours you have been listening to portion of the week the bible as reading synagogue with rabbinic commentary this evening you word rabbi leon be frank spiritual leader of the congregation beth shalom of kings bay brooklyn new york with his guest dr richard m silberstein medical director of the staten island mental health center and a member of the faculty downstate medical center state university of new york the counter for a portion of the week is there was a combination of the congregation beth shalom of kings bay brooklyn new york a maasai in the days on the us is it murph on
