annual community event
9th Annual Park Avenue Synagogue Gala
O
ur festive evening will celebrate the
fifth anniversary of Elliot and Debbie
Cosgrove’s distinguished leadership of our
community. In honoring the rabbi and Debbie, we recognize the
significant roles that they play in the lives of our own families,
in vitalizing the New York Jewish and larger community, and
in advancing Conservative Judaism throughout North America
and Israel. The Cosgroves are devoted to strengthening our
synagogue as a caring community that fosters Jewish learning,
advocates turning words into action, and serves as a center
where national Jewish conversations occur.
Their love for our heritage imbues our synagogue’s superb
educational programs for learners of all generations. Since
Rabbi Cosgrove brought the Florence Melton School of Adult
Learning to PAS in 2009, 126 adults have completed the twoyear Jewish literacy program and 46 students are currently
enrolled. This year the rabbi and Debbie are each teaching one
of the first-year courses. In the past two years, the rabbi has also
brought the JTS Context program to PAS and has inaugurated
the PAS Lecture Series, bringing bring top scholars and notable
intellectuals to examine themes that are critical to the Jewish
future. The rabbi teaches weekly classes. Debbie, who holds
an MA in Jewish Education from the JTS Graduate School of
Education, has a monthly series on Women in the Bible and
also teaches in the Young Couples Group speaker series, at the
annual Book Fair, and for the ECC Parents Association.
Rabbi Cosgrove leads the congregation in thinking critically
about the relationship between Diaspora Jewry and Israel while
unequivocally supporting a secure, Jewish and democratic state.
Leading by example, the rabbi and Debbie frequently travel
to Israel with their four children, Lucy, Maddie, Zoe and Jed.
During the Cosgroves’ years here, the synagogue has sponsored
six Israel trips, geared to different demographics, and there are
three more trips on the calendar for this year alone.
The Cosgroves’ leadership is recognized far beyond PAS
and even beyond the Jewish community. Rabbi Cosgrove is a
member of the Board of UJA-Federation of New York and sits
on the Chancellor’s Cabinet of JTS. He serves as Rabbinical
Advisor on Interfaith Affairs for the ADL and was invited to
attend the elevation of Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan in Rome. In
2012 he was named to Newsweek’s annual list of the 50 most
influential rabbis in America. Debbie is active in the Jewish
Women’s Foundation and UJA-Federation of New York, most
recently serving on its Commission on the Jewish People.
Rabbi Cosgrove has edited a provocative and inspiring essay
collection, Jewish Theology in Our Time, and PAS has proudly
published four collections of his sermons.
As important to him as his public roles, the rabbi is a
steady pastoral presence, supporting us in times of sorrow and
rejoicing with us at times of celebration. The impact of the
Cosgroves’ spiritual guidance, intellectual accomplishments,
and personal warmth is powerfully reflected in the large number
of young families who are joining Park Avenue Synagogue. We
all feel secure in the knowledge that Elliot and Debbie are here
to teach us, to inspire us, to guide us, and to be with us at times
of need and at times of joy.
Please honor the Cosgroves and our synagogue’s future
by attending the Gala. Your participation will help ensure
that Park Avenue Synagogue will continue to thrive as a
community where you, your children, your grandchildren, and
future generations will take their place as proud, educated, and
engaged Jews.

From Rabbi Steven I. Rein
Herzl in Shushan
W
e typically speak
of Herzl on Yom
HaAtzma’ut, but I would
like to suggest that his story is very
much the story of Purim. Born in1860,
Theodor Herzl grew up emancipated,
anti-traditional and secular. He dismissed
all religion and spoke of Judaism with
mocking cynicism. As a late 19th century,
westernized Jewish intellectual, he
believed that complete assimilation was
both inevitable and desirable. Herzl
was the Paris correspondent for the
Neue Freie Presse in 1894, when Alfred
Dreyfus, a Jewish captain in the French
military, was accused of spying for
Germany. Reporting on what became
known as the Dreyfus Affair, Herzl
experienced a turning point in his life
when he saw Dreyfus stripped of his
epaulets and drummed out in disgrace. At
that moment Theodor Herzl the father of
modern political Zionism was born. He
dedicated the remaining years of his life
to the establishment of a Jewish state.
How is that the story of Purim? We
fantasize that Mordecai and Esther were
religious Jews, committed to God and
the Jewish people. A simple reading of
4
www.pasyn.org
212–369–2600
the Megillah, however, does not support
such a portrait. There is the famous fact
that God is never mentioned and the
glaring absence of any observance or
prayer by Mordecai and Esther. Mordecai
not only instructs Esther to conceal her
Jewish identity, but he does the same.
They want to be like the Persians around
them. There are even midrashim that
suggest that Mordecai refused to bow
before Haman solely because of his own
pride. In these accounts, Mordecai is held
responsible for the ensuing contempt
of the Jews. Given all this, why do we
venerate Mordechai and Esther and read
their story every year?
Rav Yaacov Medan, Rosh Yeshiva
of Yeshivat Har Etzion in Gush Etzion,
suggests that this interpretation does
not necessarily indicate a character
flaw in Mordecai or Esther. Rather,
every individual is judged by his end.
Mordecai may indeed have denied or
been indifferent to his Judaism, resulting
in his rise to power and to the eventual
endangerment of the Jewish community.
But at the critical moment when the
existence of the Jewish community was
threatened, he did everything that he
could to free his nation from distress.
Together with Esther and all the other
Jews of Shushan he returned not only to
his nation but also to his God.
In this reading of the Megillah, the
essential observation is that Mordecai
and Esther are assimilated Jews at the
beginning but not at the end. There is
a turning point in the story when they
realize that they are part of the Jewish
people, that they can no longer hide
their identities, and they must become
one with their nation. Perhaps it is no
accident that the essential mitzvot of
Purim – mishloah manot and matanot
l’evyonim, giving gifts to each other and
gifts to the poor – make us think about
others and identify with Jews around us.
Mordecai and Esther, like Theodor Herzl,
begin their lives assimilated and removed
from God, but they travel together with
the entire Jewish nation towards God
and the desire for Jewish freedom. Their
joining in that journey is perhaps what
Purim is all about – rising to the occasion
as a unified community, standing together
for our right to live as Jews, in Shushan
and everywhere around the globe.
Purim Sameah!

A spirited, intense and
creative 7th grader at
Birch Wathen Lenox
School, Nate is also
a serious student at
the Mannes College
of Music Preparatory Division. He has
been making music as long as he can
remember. His first piano recital took
place at Camp Ramah in 2008. He has
since performed at Steinway Hall and
Carnegie Hall and won an international
piano concerto competition. He has been
a guest cello soloist with the New York
Piano Society and performed both cello
and piano at several music festivals in
Europe and the US. He has sung with the
Metropolitan Opera, the New York City
Opera and Chelsea Opera companies
and has performed numerous times for
charity events.
Nate is also passionate about science.
The first middle school student at his
school ever to be given an independent
study, he received a Headmaster’s Prize
after completing his project on theories
of the origin of the universe. Nate hopes
to become either a scientist who plays
piano and cello or a musician with
scientific interests.
Nate came to the Congregational
School in Kindergarten and is now a
member of the PAS Rock Band. He
is happy to follow his three siblings
in becoming a bar mitzvah at PAS.
He has especially enjoyed analyzing
and thinking about his Torah portion.

fantastic tutor; Cantor Schwartz, Rabbis
Cosgrove and Rein, and Rabbi Eve
Rudin and Cantor Kidron.

basketball for the 92nd Street Y. Scott
is a team player who always knows
when a teammate needs a word of
encouragement.

their support and guidance in Scott’s
education over the years. Scott would

Joëlle Dautricourt: The Book of
Happy Writing
January - March
Joëlle Dautricourt expresses the
mystical, symbolic, and divine forces

tongue is the pen of an expert scribe.”
The Book of Happy Writing has been
