Temple Beth El, Temple Israel, and the Federa tion’s Jewish Community Rela tions Council joined in planning a community-wide interfaith vigil to respond to recent regional, na tional, and global events that threaten the peaceful coexistence of people from different back grounds. As the Jewish community began preparations to celebrate the freedom of Passover and the Christian community embarked on their spiritual journey toward the renewal of Easter, the inter faith community felt the need to come together for a “Peace in the Park” vigil at Marshall Park. Their goal was to affirm and celebrate their shared commitment to reli gious freedom and equality for all people, here and overseas. Nearly a dozen interfaith or ganizations signed on as sponsors. In reflecting on the tragedies of Paris and Copenhagen, the vigil addressed global anti-Semitism. In mourning the three students who were shot in Chapel Hill, the rally confronted Islamophobia. In reflecting on the increasing num ber of unarmed African American killed by law enforcement, the gathering addressed the issue of racial injustice. The LGBT com munity shared the deep hurt they experienced with the hateful discourse in the debate over the proposed City Council’s Non-Dis crimination Ordinance. Participants were invited to wear their difference with pride. “I am Muslim,” “I am Jewish,” “I am Christian,” “I am Buddhist,” “I am Bahai,” “I am Sikh,”...or simply “I am” as they stood to gether to share music, poetry, and affirmed their commitment to make Charlotte a safe place for all. « TEMPLE BETH EL Second Seder With Temple Kol Ami The month of March was a whirlwind of activity for Temple Kol Ami of Fort Mill, SC. High lights included the Purim Carni val, the Purim Shpeil presented by our Religious School students (The Megillah according to Dr. Seuss), a field trip to Molly Mays Clay Days to paint mezuzahs, and an amazing weekend of wor ship, learning, and fellowship with Rabbi Bruce Aft of the Insti tute of Southern Jewish Learning. As we spring forward into April, we are excited to celebrate the second night of Passover Seder on April 4 with the York County community. The Second Seder has become a wonderful tradition at Temple Kol Ami. This year we are excited to have a professional chef, Johnson and Wales trained Margo Morrill, preparing our fes tive Seder meal. The amazing meal includes traditional Passover favorites with a twist such as beef brisket with sour cherry sauce and date glazed roasted chicken. The complete meal from matzah ball soup to dessert and everything in between costs $23/adult (age 13 and up), $10/child (ages 5-12) and free for children aged four and under. Seder will be held at Tem ple Kol Ami in Unity Presbyterian Church, 303 Tom Hall Street, Fort Mill, SC at 6 PM. Tickets can be purchased via paypal on our web site www.templekolamisc.org or at the door. For more information, please contact us at 803-701- 0149. We look forward to wel coming you to our Seder table.^ Temple Or Olam Presents Yom Hashoah 2015 Anti-Semitism, Anti-Judaism, Anti-Zionism: Assessing Today ^s Prejudices, Perspectives, and Politics Regarding Jews in the Light of the Holocaust In recent years, European newspapers have reported a sig nificant rise in acts of violence against Jews. In January and Feb ruary of 2015 alone, Jews have been beaten, graves have been de faced and overturned in Jewish cemeteries, and Jews attending synagogue or going shopping have been murdered. Polls across the continent demonstrate a rise in antisemitism. o 0 i- Some suggest that this phe nomenon is linked to tensions in the Middle East, Israel’s settle ment policies, treatment of Arab citizens, and control over Palestin ian territories. Is the mounting frustration over Israel’s position and politics actu ally linked to the rise in anti- Semitism elsewhere in the world? Is anti-Zionism simply anti- Semitism in disguise? This year. Temple Or Olam will mark Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, with a pro gram that seeks to explore these questions. Rabbi Dr. Barbara Thiede, who teaches the history of European anti-Semitism at UNC Charlotte, will lead our discus sion. Participants will be offered the opportunity to reflect - mindfully - on the nature and history of an tisemitism and its relationship, if any, to current events. Small groups will work with relevant terminology and definitions, ex amples taken from past and pres ent history, and consider the effect or impact of the Holocaust on our understanding of anti-Semitism. A larger discussion will offer oppor tunities to share our conclusions. Please join us for a thoughtful exploration of these issues at Pied mont Unitarian Universalist Church, 9704 Mallard Creek Rd, Charlotte, on Wednesday, April 15, at 7:30 PM. This event is free and open to the public. ^
