Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA 34109
Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in
your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely, Chris L. Jensen
Again, I have no idea whether this was an actual letter, or, if it was, what
happened to Dr. Jensen if he indeed showed up at Whitson University that August
with the intention of teaching. But you have to admit that Jensen’s chutzpah is not only
original, but also instructive.
Teddy Kollek, a long-time mayor of Jerusalem, once suggested that the 11th
commandment should be “thou shalt not be patient.” Kollek was not necessarily
encouraging rudeness or abruptness. Rather, he insisted that we not settle for an
unjust world. In many ways, the continual survival of the state of Israel is due to its
residents taking this “11th commandment” seriously, and not being satisfied with an
insufficient status quo.
As we look back at a month that was heartbreaking for so many, we can take
to heart the spirit of Kollek and even Chris Jensen. The tremendous example of the
Women of the Wall — the women who have continued to pray at the Western Wall
and have now forced the Knesset to seriously consider allowing egalitarian prayer at
this holiest of sites — shows that a little bit of chutzpah goes a long way.
Let us seek out ways to replicate these examples with the issues that we face.
Whether the topic is the continuing epidemic of gun violence, the constant fear of
terrorism, or the threats faced by Jews around the world, we ought not be patient. We
shouldn’t always ignore reality the way that Jensen did, but sometimes when we do,
we create a new, and better, reality.

P R E S I D E N T – S TA N L E Y C H E P E N I K
I want to thank you for electing me President. I truly appreciate the confidence
you’ve shown in me as I take the lead of this wonderful organization, Synagogue
Emanu-El. As I said at the Congregational Meeting on April 14th, I promise you that I’ll
work hard, listen to your concerns and suggestions, and support the wonderful board and
trustees you elected. My goal is to continue the great work that Ellen Steinberg started.
You elected six new board members who bring great enthusiasm and insight to the governing body of the Synagogue. The officers you elected have experience on the board and
are ready to dig into the job of leading Synagogue Emanu-El. Please understand that we
represent you and your interests and will all work hard for our Synagogue.
Mickey Fischbein and Michael Schwartz highlighted that the synagogue is in much
better financial shape than in the past. It’s because of you, the congregation, that this is so.
Your participation in events, plus your generous contributions in support of those events
went a long way to putting us in such good financial shape.
We are planning a number of fun events for the coming year including the BBQ
(Jews, Brews, and Q’s) as well as Dancing with the Stars of David and others.
Remember, just about everything we do at the Synagogue requires volunteers.
Many of you are already involved and graciously volunteer your time, whether it is for
minyan, Shabbat services, cooking, visiting the sick, or the 1001 other things that go on. If
you haven’t yet, find something that interests you and volunteer. One initiative for the
coming year is to revive our membership committee. If we’re going to grow our congregation we’ll have to become active in finding new members. We need a membership chair as
well as committee members. If you’re interested contact me or the office. Another is the
Jewish Community Relations Committee at the Federation. We need a member to
represent Synagogue Emanu-El. This is a very important committee for the community
and is well worth the time. Besides attending meetings and reporting to the board (or
perhaps even a short Scroll article) it’s an opportunity to shape opinion on issues of importance to the entire Jewish community of Charleston. Again, if you’re interested contact me or the office.
Would you SHAVE YOUR HEAD for $25,000?

Shalom,
Sisterhood has had a wonderful start to Spring. I want to thank Patti Bagg, Irene Gilbert and all those who
helped in running our fabulous Ladies Night Out. Also, thanks to the Men's Club for helping out and being such
wonderful waiters.
We will have Sisterhood Installation and Education Day on May 19th. See below for details.
The Sisterhood Judaic Shop has wonderful items for all life-cycle events. Can’t find it? We even have catalogs
with beautiful items that can be ordered. Please call Gloria Adelson at 556-2965 or Gail Silverman at 556-1529 for
all your Judaic gift needs.
Elisheva Holub, Irene Gilbert and the nominating committee have worked very hard putting together a
wonderful board and I want to thank them for all their efforts, time and commitment. We have a wonderful slate
of officers who were elected on April 11th and have put together a calendar of great events for this coming year.
The members of the board and committee chairs will be busy reaching out and searching for other Sisterhood
members to join committees thus creating longer branches on our tree of volunteers. Our Sisterhood continues to
grow and blossom as do the beautiful spring flowers.
As always feel free to call or email with questions or suggestions. You can reach me at 708-5765 or
roxanns@carolinaone.com.
With Love, Faith, and Sisterhood,
Roxann
INSTALLATION of the 2013/2014 SISTERHOOD BOARD
PLUS NEW DATE FOR MOVIE EVENT
Date: Sunday, May 19th
Venue: Home of Patti and Micky Bagg, 1612 Seignious Drive, Ashley Harbor
Time: 9:00AM Installation; movie at 10:05
Potluck Brunch: Please bring a small plate (milk/pareve) to share
RSVP: pattibagg@gmail.com or 556-5499
Movie: Refusing to be Enemies-The Zeitouna Story (58 minutes).
About the Movie: This documentary profiles a self-formed group of twelve ordinary women calling themselves
"Zeitouna," the Arab word for "olive tree", over a two-year period in Michigan. These six Arab women and six
Jewish women struggle to overcome their prejudices, fears and anger through dialogue. Over time, they find that
their diverse backgrounds have more in common than they originally believed. The film does not attempt to
answer questions of right and wrong, or how to break the deadlock of the Middle Ease conflict. Instead, it offers
living proof of how the journey of personal transformation may pave the way to socio-political transformation
and peace through dialogue.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL-DAPHNE HUBARA
Our journey to Eretz Yisrael will come to an end this month.
On Sunday, May 5th, our religious school students will play a final game
of Israel Monopoly to recap all of the highlights from our Israel Tour – and then
we will board the plane back home for summer vacation!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Religious School
teachers who bring so much to our school in enthusiasm and love of Hebrew,
Israel and Torah. We are so lucky to have them. Todah Rabah to Sarah
Steinberg, Alli Debrow, Tsivia Browdy, Riki Netanel, Shlomi Netanel, Lara
LeRoy and Rabbi Rosenbaum, as well as our teen teachers Sierra Debrow and
Nick Hoffman. Thank you also to Patti Bagg and Debbie Toporek for their commitment to library time with our kids.
Thanks for a great year!
Daphne Hubara
A huge thank-you to Dalia Friedland, who performed her show “Bubblegum
Seeds” for our Religious School last month. Along with accompanist Katya
Pekar, and Dalia’s MAGIC HAT, we traveled to Israel to visit Jerusalem, Tel
Aviv and a kibbutz. We were thoroughly entertained through songs and poems.
We even learned a new word ... in many languages:
In English the word is Peace.
In Hebrew, the word is Shalom.
In Arabic the word is Salam.
In Spanish, the word is Paz.
In Russian, the word is Mir.
In Chinese, the word is Pingan.
In French, the word is Paix.
In Japanese, the word is Heiwa.
Right: Dalia Friedland performing.

“SIX DAYS THAT TRANSFORMED A HALF-CENTURY”
Pscintillating Psalms in Pservices:
Thursdays, 9:30-10:15AM:
Traditional Jewish services are filled with selections
from the book of Psalms. What do these selections
mean, and how do they speak to our souls today?
Taught by Rabbi Rosenbaum. Concluding May 23rd.
Nearly 50 years have passed since Israel’s shocking and
definitive victory over Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
The Six-Day War reunited Jerusalem, greatly increased
Israel’s land holdings, bolstered the international Jewish
community’s self-image, and signaled to the world that the
Jewish state was here to stay.
Conversational Hebrew: Wednesdays, Noon-1:00PM:
A chance to brush up on your Hebrew in a friendly
atmosphere. Join Maya Hirsch-Kupchik
at the Synagogue. Basic Hebrew conversational skills
required.
Rabbi Rosenbaum will review the details of the 1967
conflict and raise questions about its impact on the
political and social issues that Israel grapples with to this
day.
Danish & Drash:
Saturdays, 9:00-9:30AM:
A sneak peak at the week’s
Torah portion prior to
Saturday morning services.
Complete with coffee and treats!
Led by Rabbi Rosenbaum.
