JOHN’S SPEECH: FELLOWSHIP COMMISSION
Mr. _________, ________, ________, ladies and gentlemen:
The March on Washington, this year, was one of the first times in history that America has shown that all faiths, all races, labour, government workers and Americans of all professions and convictions could and would unite [typo] to carry forth a cause that they believe in. Before this, we have only seen such a show of strength and unity in times of war; but now, Americans are uniting in times of peace. Americans are demonstrating that they believe in democracy, that it is not a word to be used for propaganda, or something to fight for when our lives are threatened, but that [typo] democracy [typo] will be the American way of life.
The Fellowship Commission, and groups like it, who have paved the way for [typo] last years March are now entering a new era. As some people have pointed out, the Supreme Court decision did not integrate the schools, but freed the civil rights groups to [typo] begin integrating the schools. And so, if the Civil Rights Bill is passed, we will be free to begin integration on a nation-wide basis.
This is the beginning of the third decade after [typo]the original March on Washington; the second half-century of American Labour and the second century after the Emancipation Proclamation. In the first half of this century there were many marches proposed and carried out, to bring the unemployed to Washington, to bring our [typo] plight to the Federal Government. Most of these have been forgotten, except by the few who participated in them.

John’s Speech
But this March will not be forgotten, because it is, as it must be, the beginning of a new era. 'This is the first time we have seen press and government and the whole nation cooperate and recognize that something must be done about civil rights be done about civil rights, about unemployment, and about the future prospect of mass unemployment.
Our task has been put before us, and so, in the words of the late President, “Let us begin.”

TEXT OF SPEECH GIVEN AT WASHINGTON MARCH BY JOHN LEWIS
AUGUST 28, 1963
nothing
We march today for jobs and freedom, but we have/to be proud For, ; hundreds and thousands of our brothers are not here. They have no money for their transportation, for they are receiving starvation wages ••• or no ·wages at all. While we stand here there are sharecroppers in the Delta of Mississippi who are out in the fields working for less than three dollars a day for twelve hours of work. While we stand here there are students in jail on trumped charges. Our brother, James Farmer, along with many others is also in jail. We come here today with a great sense of misgiving.
It is true that we support the present civil rights bill in the Congress. However, we support it with great reservations. Unless Title three is put in this bill, there is nothing to protect young children and old women from police dogs and fire hoses, their penalty for engaging in peaceful demonstrations. In its present form this bill will not protect the citizens of Danville, Virginia, who must live in constant fear in a police state. It will not protect the hundreds of people who have been arrested on phoney charges. What about the three young men---SNCC field secretaries--in Americus, Georgia who face the death penalty for engaging in peaceful protest.
As it stands now, the voting section of this bill will not help thousands of black people who want to vote. It will not help the citizens of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia who are qualified to vote but lack a 6th grade education. "One man, one vote.,” is the African cry. It is ours, too. It must be ours. Let us tell the Congress: One man, one vote.
We must have legislation that will protect the Mississippi sharecropper who is put off of his farm because he dares to register to vote. We need a bill that will provide for the homeless and starving people of this nation. We need a bill that will ensure the equality of a maid who earns $5 a week in the home of a family whose income is $100,000 a year. We must have a good FEPC bill.
Let us not forget that we are involved in a serious social revolution. By¬
and large, American politics is dominated by politicians who build their careers on immoral compromises and ally themselves with open forms of political, economic, and social exploitation. There are exceptions of course. We salute those. But what political leader can stand up and say, “My party is the party of principles". The party of Kennedy is the party of Eastland. The party of Javits is also the party of Goldwater. Where is our party? Where is the political party that will make it unecessary to have Marches on Washinton?
Where is the political party that will protect the citizens of Albany, Georgia.
Do you know that in Albany, Georgia., nine of our leaders have been indicted, not by Dixicrats, but by the Federal Government for peaceful protest. But what did the Federal Government do when Albany's Deputy Sheriff beat Attorney C.B. King and left him half-dead? What did the Federal Government do when local police officials kicked and assaulted the pregnant wife of Slater King, and she lost her child.
To those who have said, be patient and wait, we must say that we cannot be patient, we do not want to be free gradually. We want our freedom and we want it now. We are tired of being beaten by policemen. We do not

want to go to jail, but we will go to jail if that is what we must pay for love, brotherhood, and peace.
All of us must get in this great social revolution sweeping our nation. Get in and stay in the streets of every city, every village and every hamlet of this nation, until true Freedom comes, until the unfinished revolution of 1776 is complete. In the Delta of Mississippi, in Southwest Georgia, in Alabama, Harlem, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and all over the nation the black masses are on the march. You must go home from this March and help us to get our Freedom.
We will not stop now. All of the forces of Eastland, Barnett, Wallace, and Thurmond will not stop this revolution. If we do not get meaningful legislation out of this Congress, the time will come when we will not confine our marching to Washington. We will march through the South--through the streets of Jackson, Danville, Cambridge, Nashville, and Birmingham--with dignity and spirit we have shown here today. By the force of our demands, our determination, and our numbers, we shall splinter the segregated south into a thousand pieces and put them together in the image of God and democracy. Wake up America!

CBST PRIMARY FORUM SPARKS LIVELY DEBATE
The Friday night Oneg program on April 15 was a forum on the New York State Democratic Presidential Primary. Oneg Committee Bruce Lynn invited the three active candidates to participate, and each campaign sent a representative. Carol Bellamy, former President of the New York City Council and now an investment banker, represented the campaign of Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis. Sheldon Ranz, a member of Jewish-Americans for Jackson ’88, spoke for the campaign of Reverend Jesse Jackson. The third speaker was Michael Veit, one of the state chairmen for the campaign of Tennessee Senator Albert Gore, Jr. CBST Board member Art Leonard was moderator for the program.
Each of the representatives presented a brief opening statement on behalf of his or her candidate, and the floor was thrown open for questions, which ranged over a wide variety of topics, including nuclear power and the environment, the Middle East, the economy, and lesbian and gay rights. All three representatives stated that their candidates would support a national gay rights bill, although Mr. Veit acknowledged that Senator Gore is not a co-sponsor of the bill now pending in Congress.
Questioned about Governor Dukakis’ controversial position on the rights of gays to be foster parents, Ms. Bellamy stated that she disagreed with the governor on this issue, but believed that, overall, his experience in government and support for gay rights legislation in Massachusetts weighed in his favor.
Much of the questioning was directed to Mr. Ranz, who attempted to explain why, in his view, members of the CBST should be supporting the Jackson campaign. He emphasized the candidate’s positions on gay issues, and asserted that many of Jackson’s positions on the Middle East situation were shared by vocal elements in Israel and the American Jewish community. Most of the audience did not appear particularly convinced by his arguments.
In the election held April 19, Governor Dukakis captured a majority of the votes and delegates statewide. Reverend Jackson obtained about 37% of the votes, but carried three New York City boroughs. Senator Gore received about 10% of the vote and was apparently eliminated from further consideration as a candidate for President.
CBST does not endorse political candidates. Our policy has been to invite all candidates in contested races affecting our community to speak in a forum setting so that our members and guests will have an opportunity to become informed on the candidates’ positions before they vote. We hope to provide similar forums in the fall, when there will be important contested races for the Presidency, congressional seats, and the state legislature.

Washington, DC 20008
Excellency:
As the Chair of the Board of Trustees of Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, New York’s Gay and Lesbian Synagogue, I am writing to protest in the strongest possible terms the enactment of Clause 29 of the Local Government Bill. This legislation, the open ended text of which would prohibit local authorities from participating in the “promotion of homosexuality,” is nothing more than legalized discrimation again Gay men and Lesbians. As Jews, committed to the Biblical command to seek justice and relieve the oppressed (Isaiah 1:17), we cannot decry this legislation too strenuously.

ROSH HASHANAH
This holiday, which we familiarly call Rosh HaShanah, “Head of the Year”, or “The Head of The Change” – in it’s primary, literal meaning—is known in Torah (Leviticus 23:24) only as - followed by Hebrew letters The Memorial of the Trumpet Blast. Not any blast but the sounding of Alarm. Teruah signals the Israelites to resume their journey in the Wilderness. It is also an alarm or war. Whenever it is sounded, the Israelites must go forth, prepared to face hardship, the foe, or good fortune. But when the trumpet of alarm is sounded and they go forth to unknown dangers, they’re not alone. G-d promises Moses (Numbers 10:9) that when the Teruah is sounded for war, that the Israelites will : ‘be remembered of G-d, & saved.’ Which is a reason to call it “The Day of Remembrance”. The rest is Commentary. All the laws & customs of Rosh HaShanah over the millenia are accretions to these very small verses. The revelation to Moses for our observation of this festival is that we are to observe it with Sabbath rest, & that it is known to G-d as the day of The Remembrance of the Blast of Alarm: the …Hebrew letters. That is the name we are given for it.
This is sublime poetry. The alarm signals the beginning of our journey, for in Judaism when we remember, we relive, as on Passover. We set forth into the Wilderness ahead, while we remember the past journeys into the Wilderness. A Sabbath is set aside for us as a time to relive and re-enact. The alarm is sounded for us, we are alerted that it is time for the camp to set forward & begin our journey. The signal is sounded on a day of Sabbath rest: the Sabbath of the Memorial of the Trumpet Alarm. This is a day of remembering & reliving our journey in the Wilderness – the Wilderness we entered after the Waters were parted for us. The personal Wilderness we entered after our Mother’s Waters parted for us, & the collective Wilderness of the Jewish people after slavery when we became free & responsible. When one is no longer a slave, but is responsible for one’s own actions, one enters a Wilderness. The possibilities for mistakes are limitless. One can abandon one’s moral precepts & fall into error or one can hew too closely to one’s precepts & fall into error: or one can miss the point completely & err through misunderstanding. These are some of the great problems of living as a free being. The Israelites erred in all these ways, & most of them suffered very greatly for it.
There is also—for those of us who survived to this day—the Wilderness of the immediate past year, personally & communally. But, the blast of alarm is the signal to set forward, into the coming year, with blind faith that we will be led through the Wilderness before us. Remember, though, that the entire

generation which G-d delivered from slavery, died in the Wilderness. Except for Joshua and Caleb, those who obeyed and those who rebelled, all perished in the Wilderness. The signal is to move on, regardless.
In the Parasha’s for these two days of Rosh HaShanah, we have two stories of the rescue in the Wilderness of two of Abraham’s sons. To save Ishmael, G-d addresses Hagar for the second time at a well in the Wilderness, & tells her to bless her son, for he will become a nation. In the second, G-d saves Isaac. There is the story in the Haftorah, too, in which Hannah vows to offer her child to the service of the sanctuary at Shiloh, if G-d will make her pregnant. Her vow is accepted, & the child is given to G-d & bvecomes the last of the Judges.
But there is a more sinister story of another Judge, Jepthah. G-d’s spirit comes upon him & he is able to conquer the enemies of the Israelites. He vows to sacrifice to G-d the first thing which comes to him on his return, and that is his only child, his daughter. We do not know her name. She acquiesces, as did the innocents Ishmael, Isaac & Samuel. Bud G-d does not intercede for her. She & her companions wander in the mountains, in their own wilderness for two months & then she returns & is sacrificed. “Thus it became a custom in Israel that every year the Israelite women went to commemorate the daughter of Jeptha…for four days in the year.” And Jeptha was Judge over Israel for six more years. Not all who follow G-d are saved, but when the alarm is sounded, Israel must go forward.
At the same time we are told that when the Alarm is sounded, G-d will remember us. We have to go anyway, & so this should give us some comfort. It’s as if your Mother were saying, “It’s going to be all right: Everything’s going to be All Right.” So that no matter what you know, rationally, you are reassured. And when the times come for you to say to your Mother, “It’s going to be all right,” & you know --& she who washed your diapers definitely knows—that you cannot save her from death. But it is still comforting. For the poet of Song of Songs covered this when she wrote: “Love is Strong as Death.” What she says to her Beloved is: “Set me a seal upon your heart, as an amulet upon your arm, for Love is Strong as Death, Passion as relentless as the Netherworld.”
The word for seal & which I also translated as amulet is the same word, chotam. The signatures of the ancients which they pressed onto clay tablet & seals, were engraved with precious stones which they wore, & kept always upon their persons. They were used to sign their contracts & oaths, & to seal up & identify their goods. They were an intimate part of the person’s identity, as we know from the story when Tamar clears herself of fornication by producing

Judah’s signet seal. . The signets usually were carved with scenes of stories of the deity whose name was part of that of the owner. In Judaism we have names which carry out G-d’s title: Adoni-jah, Emanu-El, Samu-El, El-eazer. Our Ancient Near Eastern neighbors had similar names, often incorporating those of their protecting deities. For this reason among others, the signets were a protecting amulet as well as the extension of the wearers identity. When the poet asks her Beloved to set her as a seal & amulet, she is offering her identity & her protection: for her Love is Strong as Death, her passion as obdurate as the Kingdom of Death. The beloved must believe in her & in her love.
Among the ancients who were also our ancestors, before they became Jews, there were many stories of the warrior deity rescuing her lover or her brother from the kingdom of the dead. In one of them the divine warrior is said to yearn for her brother: “As the heart of a cow for her calf, As the heart of a ewe for her lamb, so was her heart set toward her brother.” If you have ever noticed an animal’s desperation & urgency to return to her young, you understand the power of the image. It goes beyond the pressure of milk, to the nature of Love, itself. The warrior seizes Mot—which is also the Hebrew word for Death—and she annihilates Death. But in a later story Death is reborn & her brother who is the Master of the Canaanite gods, submits to Death. Like the poet of Song of Songs, it was the power of her love which galvanized her to overcome Death itself. Love is strong as Death.
What the poet tells her lover is that she too will struggle against Death, that the frenzy of passion, born of life, is heedless of death’s dominion, that there is nothing which can stop it, or overwhelm it.
That love, that passion, has also been the story of Israel’s yearning for G-d, over the millenia. It is a passion which saves the lover & the beloved at the same time. For G-d has said that it is the memory of that love & devotion which caused Israel’s redemption. At the sound of the Alarm, the Israelites followed G-d into the Wilderness. Death in slavery & death in the Wilderness were both certainties; but to face the unknown in the Wilderness was harder. And this is something which is demanded of us every year.
Now we have reached another day of Remembrance. A day of the Memorial of the Trumpet of Alarm at which Israel followed G-d through the Wilderness. G-d has promised to Remember Israel on the day of that sounding of the Alarm. Again & again, G-d has promised Israel, through the prophets Jeremiah (2:2), Hosea (2:15), that Israel is holy to G-d because: “I well remember you, the kindness of your youth, your love as a Bride, following me in the Wilderness, in a land not sown.” It is Israel’s love for G-d, which saves her: the devotion she has shown, as the betrothed, the wife of the
