From Rabbi Elliot J. Cosgrove
Travel to Spain with PAS
“My heart is in the east, and I in the
uttermost west. How can I find savour in
food? How shall it be sweet to me? ... A
light thing would it seem to me to leave
all the good things of Spain – seeing how
precious in mine eyes to behold the dust
of the desolate sanctuary.”
T
he great
SpanishJewish poet
Yehuda Halevi penned
these words in the
middle of the twelfth
century. Despite
his status as the
preeminent Hebrew poet and philosopher
of his time, this poem and others give
expression to his yearning to return to the
land of his people, a longing that would
eventually find fulfillment with an endof-life journey in 1140.
While the particulars of our present
moment in Jewish history are no doubt
sui generis, the Golden Age of Spanish
Jewry is an incredibly useful prism
through which we can view ourselves
and gain self-understanding. Extended
a remarkable degree of tolerance from
and Modern Jewish history at the Jewish
Theological Seminary. As I am sure his
students in our adult learning classes will
agree, it is hard to think of an educator as
energetic and knowledgeable as he. Trip
participants will undoubtedly return with
a renewed appreciation for the scholarly
leadership emanating from the Seminary
as exemplified by Dr. Gampel.
Finally, as with all synagogue travel,
I know that the trip will serve to build
bonds of friendship in our community.
Be it one of our frequent trips to Israel,
or our visit to Jewish Cuba, time and
again, the friendships developed among
congregants who travel together extend
well beyond the trip itself. I personally
am grateful for each one of these
experiences that serves to create a sense
of community removed from the frenetic
pace of New York living. I look forward
to making new connections and building
on existing ones.
The trip information and registration
materials are all available at pasyn.org.
Please watch your emails for an
upcoming information session. See you
in Spain!
their hosts, Spanish Jewry enjoyed
extraordinary cultural, economic and
political status and influence. Their poetic
and literary achievements served to shape
Jewish and non-Jewish culture, and
continue to be felt to this day. The decline
and crashing end of this efflorescence of
Jewish life and living is also the subject
of continued study, both on its own terms
and to learn how it may inform how we
view our present challenges as a Jewish
community.
It is thus with great excitement
that I invite you to participate in the
PAS trip to Spain, May 25 – June 2,
2014. I look forward to traveling
with PAS congregants to learn about
this extraordinary period of Jewish
experience. Granada, Seville, Cordoba,
Toledo and Madrid – together with
Rabbi Zuckerman and the excellent
travel services of Da’at, our trip chairs
Lisa Grinberg and Sheri Rosenfeld have
drafted an itinerary that is filled with both
learning and fun.
I am especially excited that Professor
Benjamin Gampel has agreed to serve
as our trip educator. An authority on
the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula, Dr.
Gampel serves as Professor of Medieval

CONTRIBUTIONS
KOL NIDRE APPEAL 5774
O
n behalf of the Officers and Board of Trustees, we extend our sincerest gratitude to all of you listed
below, who have already made a donation to PAS’s annual Kol Nidre Appeal (list as of October 28). As Rabbi Cosgrove said
in his Rosh Hashanah sermon, “Return”:
“The best form of leadership our shul can provide is not to tell people how they should conduct themselves, not to tell the
Conservative movement how to recast its mission, but to model something worthy of emulation, to become a laboratory of Jewish
life and living from which ideas emerge that will ripple well beyond the four walls of our synagogue. Everything we do should be
aimed at facilitating the return of American Jewry to its Judaism, a mission that begins right now. ... But the most important player in
making all this happen is not me and not the cantor. The most important player in this whole equation is you. ... If you will take the
step forward, I will, I promise, bring this institution halfway. Together we will demonstrate a model of synagogue life that is authentic,
accessible, relevant, engaging, and please God, always evolving. We will create a house of learning, of community and of prayer; a
portal of entry for Jews yearning to return.”
Thank you for “taking the step forward” in such a meaningful way. Your contribution will truly help supporting PAS’s mission of
return. Jewish tradition teaches that every member of a community is expected to contribute to the welfare of the community–even
those who benefit from communal funds. In the spirit of this tradition, we are seeking 100% participation in the Kol Nidre Appeal. No
gift is too small. If you have not yet taken the opportunity to make a Kol Nidre pledge, we hope you will consider doing so.
