KristalLnacht Commemoration—
“NOTE
NOTE TIME CHANGE”
Join us November 9, 1-4 PM in the Nancy Center Social Hall to view the
2013 movie, The Book Thief (PG). Starring Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson and
Sophie Nelisse and based on the best-selling 2005 book by Australian author,
Markus Zusak, the movie, set in WWII Germany, tells the story of a young girl
who finds solace by stealing books to share with others, at the same 3me as
her adop3ve parents shelter a Jew in the basement of their home.
Join us as we watch the movie and nibble popcorn and, in the end, Rabbi
Singer will lead the discussion of what we have just seen in the warmth of
each other’s company. The event is open to the community. No reserva3ons
necessary. Please bring family, friends, Jew and Gen3le, as we remember
Kristallnacht and its modern message.

Rabbi’s message
Talking Turkey
I love turkey. The
smell of turkey in the
oven, stuffing on the
stovetop, and a little
gravy overtop – ah, a little bit of paradise. And when it
comes to Thanksgiving like most Americans, my ideal
meal is some nice juicy slices of turkey, cranberry
sauce, sweet potatoes, stuffing and yes, my aunt Rose’s
jello-mold. Interestingly, the Hebrew word for turkey is
tarnegol-hodoo or just hodoo for short, which shares its
letters with the Hebrew word for thanks – todah. Therefore, turkey in Hebrew literally means – bird of thanks.
How appropriate that the food for the day itself, enlightens us to the central meaning behind the holiday. As
we sit down with our families to celebrate, it is all too
easy to ignore the struggle of so many in our community
who struggle not just during this season but each day to
provide food for themselves and their families. How
many of our neighbors will be spending Thanksgiving
worrying about jobs, homes, food? How many seniors
will have to make decisions between buying the medicine they need or paying their rent? It is no wonder that
at the end of a meal our tradition inserts the Grace
(Birkat HaMazon), which in one fell swoop is both a
prayer of thanksgiving to God for the food we just enjoyed, and just as powerfully a petition to God to provide
food to those in need. With this sentiment in mind, I
would propose the following turkey talk for the Thanksgiving table: What does it mean that…? What can I do
to help…?
•
Over 35.5 million Americans, including over 12.6
million children, suffer from hunger or live on the
edge of hunger.
•
17.2 % of children in the U.S. live in hungry or food
insecure households.
•
4.0 % of U.S. households experience hunger.
•
9.4% of Americans 65 years of age and older live in
poverty.
•
12% of rural households in the United States face
hunger every day, an estimated. 2.3 million households.
•
14.5 % of American households are food insecure
at least some time during the year. Meaning 1 in 7
American homes are at risk of hunger.
•
Food stamp participants tend to leave the program
frequently. Half of all individuals who enter the Food
Stamp Program stay 8 months or less and 61% exit
within 1 year.
•
The average gross income of food stamp households is $673 per month.
•
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the
Food Stamp Program is the nation’s single most
important resource in the fight against hunger. Eligible individuals must earn a net income below 130%
or less of the federal poverty line.
•
To be eligible for free school lunches, children’s
families must earn at or below 130% of the federal
poverty line.
(The above statistics can be found on the Mazon: A
Jewish Response to Hunger Website)
I hope you will receive this article long before
Turkey Day. Therefore please, if you have not already
done so – buy a pie from our Project Pie (ALL proceeds
will go to our local JFS) and bring food for the Jewish
Federation Young Adult Division Thanksgiving food
drive.
May you and your whole family sit down to
enjoy some delicious turkey, and some good turkey- talk
this Thanksgiving!
