A p r i l k,
1978
Dear Friends:
As we count the days to Pesach, we l i v e with change and a new lease on
life.
Let us rejoice in the tenth Anniversary of the founding of the Reconstruction ist Rabbinical College. That Rabbi Mordecai ti. Kaplan is alive and
well in Jerusalem nearing his 97th birthday and that his son-in-law Rabbi
Ira Eisenstein comes to Chicago this weekend to present a distinguished
award to P h i l i p M. Klutznick, one of the greatest Jewish statesman of our
generation is a moment to be cherished. That Rabbi Sandy Sasso w i l l keynote the evening at a special dinner gathering Saturday evening, April 8th,
is an event at which I pray NTJC w i l l be fully represented. Reserve your
place by c a l l i n g Executive Director Cyril G. Oldham at our Synagogue office.
At Shabbat Services, April 7th, I w i l l speak to the theme Reconstructionism
as a Moving Force in Jewish Life and especially bless HTJC Past-President
Len Leveton as he completes his fourth year as President of the Federation
of Reconstructionist Congregations and Fellowship and IJTJC Past-President
Dr. Aaron M. Rosenthal serving as 10th Anniversary Dinner Co-Chairmanl
A unique musical Cantata in the s p i r i t of Passover preparation w i l l be
offered by Cantor Shuster accompanied by Sheldon Rosenbaum and the Synagogue Choir Friday evening, A p r i l l^th, and another in a series of monthly
stimulating Breakfasts with the Rabbi w i l l be held Sunday morning,Apri1 16th,
at 10:00 a.m. related to the theme, Jewish Ethics in Medicine.
A very special service under the sponsorship of the Inter-Religious Clergy
Forum of Miles Township w i l l take place Sunday afternoon, April 16th, at
3:00 p.m. at the iHles West Outdoor Stadium preparing a reverential mood
for viewing the four night 113C-TV television series entitled HOLOCAUST
beginning Sunday from 7 to 10 p.m. and continuing Monday and Tuesday,
8 to 10 pm. and '/ednesday 8 to 10:30 p.m. The local Christian response
to the bitter p o s s i b i l i t y of a Haz i March in Skokie is only rivalled by a
magnificent outpouring of letters and caring actions of our beloved Skokie
Mayor Albert J. Smith and concerned Americans from all walks of life.
Lastly, make Passover happen this year beginning Friday, A p r i l 21st at
6:00 p.m. by your attendance at Synagogue Worship and by re-living the
Exodus at your home Seder both nights. Join us Shabbat and Sunday mornings
at 10:00 a.m. for prayer, study and celebration, A p r i l 22nd and 23rd and
concluding the Passover Season Friday and Shabbat morning at 10:00 a.m.
A p r i l 28th and 29th. Hay it be a peaceful positive, powerful and joyous
Passover Season for you and your loved ones.
Haa Samay-ah v,'ka-Shayr,

Description
An account of the resource
<p>During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> to see the events as they unfolded.

BRIEFLY
SPEAKING
The Nazi threatened march may become a reality challenging our very sensibilities as survivors whether in actuality or through others with whom we stand.
Such has been judged by the courts to be the law of the land and it seems
Freedom of Speech is more immediate than Freedom from Fear. The Holocaust
has become history rather than the living hell it is and shall always remain and
Jews again must bear witness to what others may want to view as now past.
I am grateful a major TV network — NBC — will air a nine-hour special
beginning April 16th and continuing three straight nights teaching us anew eternal lessons as old as our people's Egyptian experience and as new as the tragedy
of Nazism. Please watch this special with your family. It is Jewish responsibility, yea, a mitzvah to do so!
Furthermore, Freedom of Religion must be part of our response to our
enemies. Our Synagogue can be a bulwark of strength especially in these troubled days. Worship is as much a part of us as Jews now as ever before. Cantor
Shuster has provided a variety of liturgical music touching many facets of the
Jewish soul. Hassidic, Ashkenazic and Sephardic expressions both inspire and
uplift. Yet it is not only the Worship pattern offered but it is the worshipper
himself who is crucial.
The Jew who knows and loves his tradition always has a strength of faith
which inwardly sustains regardless of outside pressures. Such is what uplifts
from the depth of difficulty in this Nazi muddiness in which we are presently
mired.
Nazism is Hometz in a Passover setting but we can clean ourselves of this
accumulated mess.
Prayer, Study and Deeds of Loving Kindness — in the spirit of Jewish affirmation is the Passover message leading us from Slavery to Freedom and from
bondage to liberation.
Faithfully,
RABBI NEIL BRIEF
