Hundreds of people passed through the Sara and Morris Tugman Bais Chabad Torah Center’s Chanukah Wonderland, put on in partnership with the Orchard Mall, last month to enjoy fun-filled crafts, activities, holiday foods and pure Chanukah joy.

Attendees enjoyed crowd favorites such as the world’s biggest dreidel-shaped moon-bounce, a hands-on olive-making demonstration, doughnut- and latke-making and a Chanukah Tot Town.

Hundreds of pounds of canned food from the Can-orah were collected for Yad Ezra, and Talya Berger, 11, of West Bloomfield was named the grand prize winner of the JN Chanukah art contest. She received $200.

Kroger was also a sponsor of the event.

For example, once, many years ago, on a trip to my hometown, I purchased a small bouquet of flowers for my bubbie before Shabbat. My kids, very young at the time, instantly began arguing about who should have the honor of actually giving it to her, which I easily settled by opening the bouquet and handing each of them a single flower to hold.

Well! The kids were thrilled with this arrangement and took off, running as fast as their little feet would carry them, racing up the red brick path to her house, breathless and pink-faced, and ringing the doorbell. When my grandmother opened the door, the kids excitedly thrust their offerings toward her, which I was dismayed to see had lost most of their petals and were all bent over, due to all that exuberant running. My grandmother, however, was delighted and clasped those broken stems with love and gratitude.

Similarly, when my son Yoni was 4, I explained to him that it was my mother-in-law’s birthday. “Bubbie’s birthday?!” he said, and you could just see those wheels turning in his head. “Then she gets a present!” He immediately began sifting through the constant supply of treasures in his pockets (back in those days, laundry was always an adventure!) until he found the perfect thing and turned to her, hand outstretched with his precious offering, his voice reverent and loving: “For you, Bubbie. A rusty nail.”

Ever gallant and gracious, my mother-in-law accepted the offering with solemn thanks, looking, like my grandmother had, beyond the physical item and rather at the sweet child and his heartfelt sentiment of love and giving.

I wish all my stories about gift-giving were as warm and fuzzy.

My mother visited for a few weeks last year and before she left, I found a piece of jewelry on my living room bookshelf. I studied it; I didn’t remember ever seeing it before, and it somehow made me think of my mother. Feeling generous, I turned to her, saying, “I don’t know why, but this reminds me of you. Here, you have it.”

She waited a moment, sure I was joking, before saying, “It reminds you of me because I gave it to you when I arrived.”

Then came the awkward assurances about how much I really liked it … as well as mutually expressed concerns about my short-term memory.

It’s much more fun to be on the other side of those awkward moments … like the time I stepped into a host’s kitchen and saw a fellow guest scraping some food off her plate and into the garbage. “Don’t try the rice,” she advised me and made a face. “It’s awful.”

At my slightly horrified but amused expression, the realization slowly dawned. “Oh, no. Don’t tell me, you made the rice.” I nodded and suddenly the lady was blushing and stammering and cramming rice into her mouth, while I doubled over in laughter, thoroughly grateful to discover I’m not the only one who sticks her entire foot, warts and all, into her mouth!

OK, I got a bit sidetracked there, but my point was that we need to keep in mind the person behind the giving and the fact they’re usually offering us so much more than just a random object.

Also, I’m still looking for a really good rice recipe.

Alissandra Aronow became fascinated with competitive skating while watching her mother, Marjorie Fisher, an adult ice-skating student, realize a lifelong goal.

As a 4-year-old looking on from the sidelines, Aronow could hardly wait to try the sport and soon was given pink plastic skates.

Although drawn to lots of athletic activities, Aronow ranked skating as her favorite. She loved the artistry and the ability to propel herself in different ways by taking to the rinks.

With a stick-to-it attitude and lessons at the Arctic Edge of Canton, Aronow made notable achievements in figure skating and joined with Collin Brubaker to win first place in sectional competitions showcasing ice dancing.

Some 20 years after beginning her career, Aronow recently decided it was time to move on to other interests for herself but not away from the opportunity to inspire young people with the ice dreams she has held so close. An art history major at the University of Michigan, Aronow has agreed to serve as a co-chair of the Champions Committee now helping to establish Figure Skating in Detroit (FSD).

The program, which is adapting lauded aspects of Figure Skating in Harlem (FSH) for the Motor City environment, connects the sport to academic achievement and personal development. In its first year outside New York, the expanded effort is gearing up to include 300 girls between the ages of 6 and 15 and use the Jack Adams Arena in Northwest Detroit as its base. The program will also use the rinks at Campus Martius and the Detroit Skating Club in Bloomfield Hills and, upon completion, the new Little Caesars Arena.

“I really wanted to be involved,” says Aronow, who attended Cranbrook and took religious classes at Temple Israel. “The program combines three of my biggest passions: figure skating, childhood development and Detroit.

“Skating is artistic and creative, but it’s also athletic and disciplined. I think that combination allows skaters to access so many different parts of themselves. It teaches how to get up after a fall, literally and figuratively.”

Aronow was introduced to the city skating program by her aunt and uncle, Julie and Peter Cummings, community leaders who directed her to Sharon Cohen, founder and CEO of Figure Skating in Harlem.

“It was perfect timing because I was just retiring from competitive skating so I met with Sharon and went to her gala in Harlem,” explains Aronow, who also is involved with NEXTGen Detroit through her family foundation. “She told me about starting the first extension in Detroit, and I was inspired by hearing some of the alums speak at that gala.”

Cohen, who never had been to Detroit until thinking about cities that could benefit from skating opportunities, has visited the area a dozen times since Detroit was in consideration, and she will continue her local commitment.

“We looked for criteria to be in place for our model to be successful,” says Cohen, who has been a United States Figure Skating (USFS) double gold medalist in figures and freestyle and a gold level ice dancer. “Of the seven cities we looked at, Detroit met all of them.

“It had a population in need that could benefit from our program, and it had an ice facility accessible to the community. There also was a philanthropic community to support its development.”

Cohen launched FSH 20 years ago, after a chance meeting with a group of East Harlem girls who were eager to learn how to figure skate.

“Over the years, I learned that when you provide a safe space and you give young women an opportunity, they just grab it,” says Cohen, whose program has been directed toward girls of color. “It was so profound to see the girls grow and change before my eyes.

“I am Jewish and was raised with a great sense of social justice, service and the ability to create opportunities. That sensibility informs everything I’ve done. It takes a little bit of chutzpah to go into a community that’s not your own, learn from that and show something new that can be learned. It’s been a terrific exchange.”

Cohen easily describes the diverse subjects that have been part of instructional experiences as related to skating performance — health, science, communication, music, finances and leadership.

Geneva Williams, who has held executive positions at United Way and City Connect, is heading up administration of FSD. She was introduced to Cohen by a friend who is principal of a Harlem school working with FSH.

“We will be introducing our program through a series of community workshops in the spring and then a summer camp,” Williams says. “In the fall, we’ll have afterschool sessions with on-ice instruction and off-ice conditioning and instruction.

“There will be an interview process for parents and girls to choose participants for the afterschool program. Raising financial support comes in because we provide skates, equipment and instruction.”

FSD has partnered with the Michigan Women’s Foundation, which is making office space available in Downtown Detroit, and there are opportunities for volunteers to serve as mentors, tutors and varied career role models.

Besides Aronow, the Champions Committee includes Meryl Davis and Charlie White, Olympic gold medalists; Denise Ilitch, president of Ilitch Enterprises; and Peg Tallet, chief community engagement officer of the Michigan Women’s Foundation.

“Growing up in a family that is so focused on creating a positive impact was a motivator in my involvement,” Aronow says. “My late grandparents, Max and Marjorie Fisher, were the most giving and loving people I have known. They taught me to dream bigger, do more and be a leader. They worked to create justice and improve the world.

“The opportunity to share what I have learned with these young girls is exciting and humbling. I am so grateful to be working with such a passionate and talented team of leaders.” •

A fundraiser to benefit Figure Skating in Detroit is being planned for Monday evening, Feb. 27, at the Cube in the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center in Detroit. For information on supporting Figure Skating in Detroit as a donor or volunteer, visit figureskatingindetroit.org.

Dershowitz will speak Thursday, Jan. 19, at Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Township. Don’t expect him to lecture, as he will sit with Beth El’s Rabbi Mark Miller to address “Looking Ahead: What Do the Next Four Years Mean for American Jews and our Relationship with Israel?”

Dershowitz will welcome questions during and following the free community program, co-sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council/AJC and the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.

The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus, at Harvard Law School and a pro-Israel and civil rights activist for decades, Dershowitz has published more than 1,000 articles, and 35 fiction and nonfiction works, including the New York Times No. 1 bestseller Chutzpah and five other national bestsellers.

The JN caught up with Dershowitz between media appearances where he spoke out against the recent American abstention that allowed passage of U.N. Security Council Resolution 2334 calling Israeli settlements illegal and all disputed land beyond Israel’s pre-June 1967 borders “Palestinian territories.” He also criticized Secretary of State John Kerry’s speech expressing support for Israel while blasting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his coalition government.

Amid these weighty topics, he expressed excitement about coming to Detroit.

Common Ground

“American Jews have much more in common regarding Israel than we have differences,” Dershowitz stresses.

“The vast majority of American Jews agree Israelis should be able to defend themselves and be supported in efforts to make peace and bring the Palestinians to the negotiating table. They support Israel’s right to thrive as a Jewish and democratic state. In the next four years, it is important to remember that.”

But he also recognizes that American Jews have differences with Israeli policies, and he’s among them.

“I don’t try to defend settlement expansion, and I don’t try to defend Israeli policies toward Conservative and Reform Jews,” he says. “Israel has made a terrible mistake by giving too much influence to the rabbinate.”

Dershowitz explained how the U.S.-Israel relationship has remained strong regardless of who is president.

“The vast majority of Americans and the American Congress are supportive. It doesn’t matter who is president,” he says. “We have to have an open mind about how Trump will deal with Israel. But Trump’s support of Israel cannot change criticisms we might have of his domestic policy. ”

Rabbi Miller thinks Dershowitz is the right person to help the community grapple with their thoughts about Israel and the Trump administration.

“Dershowitz’s idea is for all of us to support Israel in a loving and positive way, even when we are critical,” Miller says. “The recent U.S. abstention at the U.N. was an incredibly difficult moment, and it made people feel like they have to choose sides.”

The post Dershowitz to discuss Israel and the Trump administration appeared first on Detroit Jewish News.

Szmul Muszkies was a professional photographer in the Polish town of Ostrowiec, a city of about 80,000 residents, including about 8,000 Jews.

He photographed portraits and pictures of important life events for the Jewish and gentile communities, including weddings, baptisms, first communions and undoubtedly bar mitzvahs, though no such photos have been found.

He also took pictures of school, social and trade groups and of the town’s businesses and industry, including its important steelworks. His studio was regarded as the best of the town’s several photographers’ shops.

Webber, 81, of West Bloomfield was the younger of the two daughters born to Muszkies and his wife, Malka.

Muszkies’ connections with influential non-Jews helped save his family, though he died in Gusen, a sub-camp of the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, just a few days before it was liberated.

Several months ago, a resident of Ostrowiec published a book of Muszkies’ photographs, an event marked by a ceremony that Webber, her three daughters and other family members attended. She was able to learn more about the father she barely remembered.

“My memories of him are mostly about the hugs I received when he came home from work, his genuine concern about my well-being and the joy I experienced when I was allowed to play in his studio,” Webber said.

The War Years

After the Nazis invaded Poland, the Ostrowiec Jews were sent to a ghetto. When their ghetto was going to be liquidated in 1942, Muszkies arranged for his older daughter, Helen, to live with a gentile family. She spent the rest of the war passing as Catholic.

He, his wife and their younger daughter went to a nearby work camp, where conditions were less harsh than in the concentration camps. The family moved together to several labor camps, but eventually Muszkies was taken away separately.

Webber and her mother ended up in Auschwitz. The infamous Dr. Josef Mengele, who would determine with the flick of his thumb which arriving prisoners would be immediately gassed, didn’t show up to meet their train, so they were sent to barracks.

Webber was able to stay with her mother for a few months; but then she was sent to a barrack for children, many of whom were designated to be subjects for Mengele’s perverted medical experiments.

Her father was also at Auschwitz, and he sent her a message to meet him. “My father looked like an old man, although he was only 45 years old, hardly the father I remembered,” she said. It was the last time she saw him.

She was liberated Jan. 27, 1945, and taken to a Krakow orphanage where her mother found her. She was not yet 10 years old.

After a short time in a transition camp in Germany, and then a period in Munich, Malka Muszkies and her two daughters moved to Toronto, where they had family. Webber met her husband, the late Mark Webber, at a survivors’ gathering in Toronto and moved to his home in Detroit. Together they raised three daughters, Susan of Washington, D.C., Elaine of Huntington Woods and Shelly of Ann Arbor.

Photos Rediscovered

Many years later, Wojtek Mazan, a young man interested in the history of his hometown of Ostrowiec, found some old photos stamped on the back with “Rembrandt,” the name of Muszkies’ studio. He never knew the name of the man behind the photos until a few years ago.

In January 2015, on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Mazan found a photo of child prisoners, including three girls from Ostrowiec. One was identified as Ruth Webber, nee Muszkies. Mazan remembered a small photo he had found in an abandoned house that was stamped on the back, “Master Photographer’s Studio, Sz. Muszkies, Ostrowiec, Ilzecka 16.”

He found a long interview with Webber from the 1990s about her Holocaust experiences, and realized her father was the “Rembrandt” of the photos he’d been collecting. That small photo from the abandoned house was the only one he found with the photographer’s name. It had probably been made before Muszkies adopted “Rembrandt” for his studio.

Through a Polish colleague, Mazan connected online with Webber’s daughter Susan and Marcia Spilberg, a cousin from Brazil, who were part of a Facebook group, Descendants of Ostrowiec. Together they began a relationship of discovery about the Rembrandt photographs and the Muszkies family’s history in Ostrowiec.

Mazan later met Webber’s sister, Helen Mueller, in Toronto, where she lives. Through Susan Webber and Mueller, he was able to learn more about Muszkies and also to obtain copies of family photographs, which had been sent to relatives who left Poland for Brazil before the war.

Mazan placed ads in local papers looking for copies of photos with the “Rembrandt” stamp, and talked to the town’s oldest residents.

“Elderly residents remember ‘Rembrandt’ was a Jew, but none of my interlocutors knew the name,” said Mazan in his introduction to the book he created from the photographs showing a portrait of Ostrowiec’s residents in the 1930s.

He collected 150 photos, most of which are presented in the book. Where he’s been able to identify the people or organizations pictured, he also provides their stories.

There are no photos of Jews or Jewish events, except for those Mazan got from Muszkies’ family.

Ostrowiec held an event to launch Mazan’s book on Oct. 29. Webber attended with her three daughters, two cousins from Brazil, a niece and nephew from Israel and her sister-in-law Rae Nachbar of Southfield.

Webber described her wartime experiences at the book launch, speaking in English with a Polish translator.

“The room was packed, and there was dead silence when she spoke,” said her daughter Elaine Webber. “By the end, the audience was in tears.”

Webber has mixed feelings about the trip. She’s happy her father’s legacy is being preserved, but she didn’t enjoy returning to Poland. 

She didn’t want to stay in Ostrowiec, so the group didn’t spend even one night there. They arrived in Poland through Krakow, where they visited her husband’s parents’ graves and saw the building that housed the orphanage where Webber lived after her liberation from Auschwitz.

Elaine Webber, who teaches nursing at the University of Detroit Mercy, said the trip gave her mother an opportunity to open up about her story, which was helpful. She also said the publication of Mazan’s book was important for the local residents.

“The people should know the history of the town and of the Jews who lived there,” she said. “The photos show what a great cross-section of people lived there.”

This made me wonder: How many Jews are playing in the National Hockey League, are there any Jewish members of the Red Wings, and does the Detroit Jewish community follow the team? So I did a bit of research into the Davidson Digital Archive and other sources.

First, it appears at least five Jewish professional hockey players play in the NHL in 2017, but there are no Jewish Red Wings. However, I found a story in the Feb. 9, 2006, issue of the JN on Red Wing Mathieu Schneider. He was with Detroit for only a few years, but had a long career and is generally considered the top-scoring Jewish player in NHL history.

In the June 23, 1995, issue of the JN, there is a very interesting article, “Shlugging Octopi,” about whether the Detroit tradition of throwing octopi onto the ice during playoff games violates Jewish law. Another story in the June 13, 1997, issue of the JN is about the love that Russian Jews had for the Red Wings, since the team featured several of their countrymen at that time.

So, Jewish Detroit does indeed like its hockey. Maybe we’ll see Josh Nodler, the 15-year-old hockey player featured in the JN two weeks ago, on the Red Wings in the future?

There they met Zeev Arafeli and Barak Goldberg, two of the three IDF veterans whose college educations they have sponsored through the FIDF Impact! Scholarship Program.

Neugebohr, an FIDF Michigan Chapter board member and a veteran of the IDF Armored Corps, first heard about Impact! when FIDF Midwest Executive Director Tamir Oppenheim approached him in 2007 to tell him about the organization’s scholarship program for IDF veterans from challenged socioeconomic backgrounds.

“When Tamir told me about the program, I couldn’t wait to get involved,” Neugebohr said. “The IDF made a real person out of me by teaching me the skills I needed for the future. I wanted to find a way to pay it forward and help the next generation of veterans.”

The Neugebohrs’ first Impact! student, Pavel Frailich, was, coincidentally, also a native Russian who had served in the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade. “I felt a real and immediate connection,” Neugebohr said. “These young men and women are all combat veterans like me and have experienced many of the same hardships I did.”

Frailich said, “The scholarship gave me the amazing opportunity to study and pursue a career — and build a better life for myself. My success is thanks to Eugene.” He works at an industrial water treatment plant near Haifa.

Impact! is one of FIDF’s flagship programs. During the 2016-17 academic year, 4,121 full four-year academic scholarships have been granted so far (at $16,000 each).

“Since launching the program in 2002, the Michigan chapter has sponsored 624 full academic scholarships for IDF veterans,” said Paula Lebowitz, Michigan development director.

“The scholarship program gives you the greatest return on your philanthropic investment because you’re transforming opportunities for men and women who served Israel and the Jewish people, and they, in turn, will give back to their communities,” she said. “Recipients perform 130 hours of community service during each year of their studies.”

Neugebohr said, “When Pavel graduated in 2011, he told me there was no way he would have been able to earn his bachelor’s in biotechnology without my help.” Arafeli graduated last year with a degree in accounting and Goldberg is currently studying computer science. “Now these brave veterans — and Israel — can look forward to a brighter future.”

At Red Door Digital, a community space in Detroit’s North End, people gathered for live music, political education and, of course, latkes. It was an opportunity for those who have been working hard to celebrate accomplishments and introduce friends to this powerful community. 

In addition to our regular campaign and solidarity work, we announced two new projects: a series of learning opportunities around the anniversary of 1967 and a caucus for Jews of color.

Leaders facilitated stations where folks could learn about some of the organization’s core issues, like regional transit and water justice.

We were joined by friends from the Motor City Freedom Riders, the Ecology Center and the People’s Water Board.

Traditional and less traditional Chanukah songs, like Peter, Paul & Mary’s “Light One Candle,” were especially resonant. I shared some reflections on the history and meaning of Chanukah and what it can teach us at this moment in the history of our country.

Chanukah means “dedication.” It gives us an opportunity each year to rededicate ourselves to struggles for justice. At the Festival of Rights, new and old leaders committed to stretching ourselves in the coming year — to show up for learning, for action, for play and for the nitty-gritty. 

As the song goes: Kol echad hu or katan, v’kulanu or eitan — Each of us is a small light, all of us are a great light.

A gunman opened fire at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Jan. 6, killing five people. The Giskes and Erpardos were caught up in the chaos as police and federal agents worked to catch the shooting suspect.

“We were sitting at the gate and suddenly there was a lot of commotion,” Staci says. “People were running and screaming for everyone to get down. Fabio grabbed Talya, I jumped on top of Eitan, and Ari ran under a chair. The TSA started screaming, ‘Run, run, run! There’s a shooter!’ and everybody ran.”

The Giskes dropped all their luggage and personal belongings and headed down the jetway out onto the tarmac. (They lost everything along the way.) At some point, they were ushered back inside only to be caught up in another stampede during a false alarm when someone shouted something about a second shooter. This time, the family got separated. The children ran in different directions, and Staci and Fabio scrambled to locate everyone and bring the family back together.

“It was very scary,” Staci says. “There were purses, luggage, shoes, teddy bears, all kinds of items scattered all over the tarmac. It looked like a war zone.”

Thankfully, the couple located their children and their friends and attempted to keep everyone together through several more panicked stampedes. Eventually, they all ended up in a hangar where they waited hours for information and transportation off the airport grounds.

Authorities have arrested a suspect, identified as Esteban Santiago, 26, of Alaska. He faces a host of federal charges that carry the possibility of the death penalty. It has been reported that at one point authorities took his gun away and ordered a mental health evaluation, but the gun was later returned. That same gun, used in the airport shooting, was in his checked luggage.

“There’s no need to have guns,” Staci said. “I’m an attorney, I believe in the Constitution; but in our current, modern society, I don’t think this is what our founding fathers intended. Anybody can get a gun. You can’t bring 4 ounces of breast milk past security, but you can check a gun.

“This has given us a whole new appreciation for the IDF and the people of Israel,” she continued. “They live with this kind of fear and terror every day.”

At press time, both families were safe and en route back home. They communicated with friends and loved ones by posting messages on Facebook.

“We are exhausted — emotionally, mentally and physically,” Staci wrote. “We are working on keeping our kids calm.”
