Howard's Blog: March 2012
http://jewishcentralmassblog.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 9, 2012. Israel, AIPAC, Iran and Us. I returned from the AIPAC policy conference with a renewed understanding of how are elected officials view Israel. Whether Democrat or Republican, the support for Israel is overwhelmingly positive. Support for Israel seems to be the common denominator on Capital Hill, even if our elected officials can't agree on anything else. Support for Israel within the Jewish community is strong, but nuanced. With the emergence of JStreet and other more liberal o...

Howard's Blog: February 2012

Friday, February 17, 2012. We're in it together. Our Worcester Community Religious School is thrilled to welcome Temple Sinai to our midst. At a recently held Sinai board meeting, the vote was unanimous to join efforts with Beth Israel and Temple Emanuel in its initiative to create our new religious schol, scheduled to begin classes this fall. We are indeed fortunate to have bold leadership at this time in our community's history who are willing to not just talk about change, but to see it actually happen.

Howard's Blog: April 2012
http://jewishcentralmassblog.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 20, 2012. From Sorrow to Joy. This past week, the community came together to commemorate the Shoah, that horrendous period in Jewish history when 6 million of our people were murdered only because they were Jewish. No one asked if they were Orthodox, Reform, Secular or totally assimilated. It did not matter how they defined themselves or how other Jews defined them; in the eyes of the Nazis, they were all the same. Jacob's walk from Sudan to Ethiopia reminded me of the thousands of Jews who...

Howard's Blog: December 2011
http://jewishcentralmassblog.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. It seems that at this time of year everyone is coming up with their top ten lists-movies, songs, events. Did you ever consider coming up with your own top ten lists? Would they include family milestones-births, marriages, bar/bat mitzvahs? I hope that all of you will end this year on a very happy note and begin 2012 in the same way! Friday, December 2, 2011. The Chanukah-Christmas dilemma is upon us. This year Chanukah actually coincides with Christmas. For a very inte...We wi...

Howard's Blog: June 2011
http://jewishcentralmassblog.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 10, 2011. Last week, Western Massachusetts suffered a traumatic experience when tornadoes touched down in several locations, including downtown Springfield. For the most part, the Jewish institutions were spared damage. However the building which houses the Harold Grinspoon Foundation was hit. Luckily all those working there were unharmed. It brings into focus the need to take charge of what we have control over. Do we make the right decisions? Are we considerate of others?
