In like manner are we gathered to renew our covenant as a Congregation in Israel. What common experience leads us into spiritual fellowship w.i.th God and one anotheri Acknowledging the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as our God, we have established this Congregation as the Symbol and Center of our corporate life as Jews. Even as God made His cover.ant first with Abraham, so do we invoke His divine aid in this enterprise, undertaken in His name. By what pledge do we seal this covenant? By the same pledge as did our forefathers at Sinai., making our children surety for the sincerity of our hearts and minds. We are organized to insure that they shall find here a well from which they may draw inspiration for their daily life. What are some of the privileges and duties in this, our Congregation? With this aim, we engage to strive together for the advancement of our body in knowledge of our God and of His Holy Torah; to transmit such understanding as we gain to those who shall later join our ranks; to sustain the ordinances and commandments, disciplines and doctrines of Historical Judaism and to worship God after the dictates of our Rabbis and sages. What duties do we gladly undertake as stewards of that \,nich God has entrusted to us? To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the synagogue edifice which houses our Congregation, and to maintain its devotional, educational, and recreational facilities as God will give us the strength and means to establish them. For the sake of our home and loved ones, what tasks do we prayerfully assume? We undertake to maintain regular hours of service; to educate our children in the religious way of life; to seek the good of all whom our influence shall reach; to maintain the bands of union with the whole household of Israel; to ask after the peace of Jerusalem by working for the upbu.ild.ing of Zion. For the sake of our brethren who are scattered all over the world, how shall we govern ourselves? We agree to remember that we are part of a greater Congregation of Israel and therefore we will recognize in deed as well as word, the principle that all Jews are responsible for each other. We will remember each other in prayer; aid each other in sickness and distress, and practice the ancient Mitzvah of relief and rehabilitation. We Pray that the God of our fathers keep us steadfast in this determination and bless the work of our hands. Amen. (Congregation and Reader) Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One. Praised be His name whose glorious kingdom is forever and ever. �Leader: • Cong: Thus saith the Lord; the heaven is My throne, and the earth is My toot stool. ' What manner of house will ye build Me, and what shall be My rest? for all tmse things hath My hand made. But to those men will I look, even to them that are poor, and of a contrite spirit, and that tremble at My -word. We have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for Thee to dwell in forever. Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, who knoweth the strong am tender ties that bind us, and who understandeth the fair memories and the stilTing hopes that make us one, look upon us in canpassion as., with united hearts and undivided purpose, we consecrate ourselves anew to thee and Thy service. We, the people of this Congregation, do now dedicate ourselves anew to the mrship of God in this place, so that we may help establish His kingdom on earth. For many years of fellowship with each other, for the courage which has made burdens easier to bear, for the patience which has led us through the valleys of fear and across the mountains of despair; For many years made precious by sharing common burdens, enduring common sorrows, completing common tasks and triumphing in common purposes; For many years of coming week by week to renew our friendship with God and our fellows, for hopes renewed, for hearts encouraged., for sins forgiven, for burdens lightened, for problems solved, and for visions of eternal values; We give thanks unto thee for Thou art the Lord, our God, and the God of our fathers forever and ever. In loving memory of all those whose hearts and hands have served this sanctuary; with deep gratitude for loyal comrades in this spiritual adventure; We dedicate this solemn hour in gratefulness to Thee, for our lives which are canmitted into Thy hand and for our souls which are in Thy keeping. Let us then cont:inue our tasks as we echo the words of the prophet speaking in Thy name; I will remember Thee and the affection of Tey youth I remember my covenant with Thee, and will establish for Thee an Nerlasting covenant. Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the mighty? Who is like unto Thee, Glorious in Holiness, Awe-inspiring, working wonders? Thy children acknowledged Thy sovereign power and exclaimed: The Lord shall reign forever and ever. SILENT DEVOTION We call unto Thee, O Lord, out of the wordless places of our being. There are thoughts too deep for words; yearning too great for the lips to frame. But Thou knowest our thoughts before we utter them, and the yearning of our innermost self is not hidden fran thee. May our thoughts soar unto the heights where Thy greatness dwells; may our yearning find ful.fillment in the work of our hands. In the silence of our heart, we pray, 0 God., that Thou strengthen us by the memory of dear ones.. Let their lives continue through us, and their work find completion in our own. Thus the generations will be linked :in love and in reverence; and the grandeur of man will become clearer in our sight. For those who made this, our Temple, strong~ we thank Thee. For those who labor to keep it wortey of Thee, we expt"ess our gratitude. Blessed art Thou O Lord, the Guardian of the hope and the Keeper of the Dream. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

[laughs] Did Marilyn assign them? JM: No, we chose. AA: Oh, really? JM: Yeah. AA: Thank you. JM: Yeah. JM: So today is November 16th, 2018. AA: 17th JM: It's the 17th? It is the 17th. AA: Tomorrow is Mickey Mouse's birthday. JM: You're right, it's November 17th, 2018. AA: Right [laughs] JM: I am here with Anna, conducting an oral history for the L'or v'dor Project. Would you please state your name for the recording? AA: My name is Anna Alpert. JM: Thank you. Do you consent to participate and have your history recorded for this project? AA: Yes. JM: Alright. AA: As long as I can keep eating my bagel. JM: Go right ahead. 1 �JM: Alright, so tell me about yourself and your life, and what you were like as a child/young adult. AA: Wow, that's a pretty big question! JM: It is. AA: It's huge. I mean, where do you start? If somebody was longer it wouldn't take as long, but... [laughs] Okay, I was born in Paris, France, and I'm the daughter of Holocaust survivors, which I'm very proud of. I did have a sister, who died before I was even born. I'm an only child and came to the United States when I was five. Lived in St. Louis, did not care for it; it was hot and humid. Did you say you were from St. Louis? JM: No. AA: Somebody I talked to was from St. Louis. We moved to St. Paul. Spent most of my childhood there. Not too many friends. Started dancing, taking ballet classes, which I still—I don't take classes, I teach now. Moved to California just before my senior year, which was horrible. JM: That would be horrible. AA: Absolutely terrible. After going through kindergarten all the way up, but my parents were practical: You wanna go to UCLA, we have to establish residency. Okay, so moved to Los Angeles, love it there. Love the weather, love the geography with the mountains and the palm trees and the beach. Love it there! Went to college at UCLA. Met my husband at a camp. Moved to Muskegon, because that's where his job took him, and love the people—I love—sometimes I say I wish I could do a Brigadoon, which is take the whole town of Muskegon—the musical—and just float it over to like around San Diego. Cause I love the people here. I don't care for the weather, and the gloom. No sun. You know last month we only had—we had 21 days with no sun? JM: I did not know that. AA: From October 23rd until this week. JM: Wow. AA: Yeah. JM: That's Michigan. [laughs] 2 �AA: I have three kids—unfortunately one of them passed way, is not with us—and an absolutely phenomenal best grandson in the entire world [laughs]. I think that kind of covers it. I'm sure there's a lot of other things that are in there. JM: Well, that's a good place to start. AA: Oh! I know one thing I forgot to put on my timeline. I'm a founding member of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, which I'm very proud of, and also Gilana's fund, which was named after our daughter. JM: Going back to your parents, you're the child of Holocaust survivors, and not everyone in the Temple has had this experience. AA: No JM: So I was just wondering if you could tell me about it, because you're sort of the generation after, if that makes sense. AA: Yeah, I'm the child of survivors, I'm the second generation. JM: Right, so that specifically. AA: It's an added responsibility now because so many survivors are dying. Cause we're what, 70 years after 1945? Yeah, more than 70, and now about the only thing that's left are maybe child survivors. Those who were, you know, children. So now it's up to those of us who were children of survivors to carry on their story. One reason I am so passionate about it, is because I strongly feel that—the people who died—it has to mean something. It has to mean something, their death, their existence. So I use that—for good—cause I tend to be pretty optimistic, and I just want people to learn so that doesn't happen again. It's become a trite phrase: never again, but it's true, and today, when you see so many similarities, you really have to impress upon kids, and that's my focus. I mean, adults, yes, but I really feel that if you can get—especially middle school kids [laughs] yeah—if you can get them to realize that and internalize it, at least what happened to my family will have some positive outcome. So. I don't think there's anybody else, now in the congregation, who has that experience. JM: Yeah, I don't believe so. AA: There used to be. There is one woman, but she doesn't come that often. But as far as being an active member. JM: Right, yeah, you're the only one. AA: I love going around to schools and talking about it. I really really do. 3 �JM: Yeah, I was curious, so the center that you helped found, is that how you—like is that what you do your work under? AA: Yes, the Center for Holocaust and Genocide studies used to be called the Shoah Remembrance Committee. It was Pastor Anderson, my husband, and I. Trying to remember, I used to say Pastor Anderson was Moses, he was our leader. My husband was Aaron, who did the work. I was Miriam, who kept them on track. JM: [laughs] Yeah AA: Right? JM: Yeah AA: The maintenance stuff. But it's under that committee, and of course now we have more members, but we, for instance, did the Gathering of Healing and Solidarity after the Pittsburgh incident. We have a commemoration service in the Spring. We bring in speakers. We try and arrange programs to go out to schools. We're kind of—and we've broadened our base, not just the Holocaust, but and genocide studies. Because there are other—like this past week we had a speaker on the Armenian genocide, which is fascinating. God! I didn't know anything about that. But it basically, it's how can we combat hate and ignorance? How can we get people to think for themselves? That's something I'm really, really passionate about. JM: That's awesome. I think it's really great. AA: So, that's what I do. And Gilana's fund, which is another one that I'm really hoping to perpetuate, was named after our daughter, who died when she was 26, yeah. She—it kind of ties in with the center because our tagline is: celebrating acceptance, cause she was such an accepting person. That we raise money to give to various organizations that celebrate acceptance of themselves, of each other, the Elie Wiesel fund, Big Brothers Big Sisters, any organization that helps with the idea of acceptance, is what we support. So they kind of go hand in hand. JM: Definitely. Those are two awesome organizations. AA: Oh yeah. JM: Yeah AA: Oh yeah. JM: Okay, so— 4 �AA: Accepting my bagel too JM: [laughs] JM: We sort of just kind of talked about this but, one of the next questions is: what were the most important roles that you've had in life? AA: Being a person. JM: That's a pretty good role. AA: [laughs] Being a teacher. I think is very important because I've been able to influence so many people, hopefully for the good. Being married to Alan, because it brought me here to Muskegon, and the position that I hold in this community. Absolutely definitely being a mother. I mean, that's right up there. It's just been such an incredible experience. My parents had just me, that was enough. But having had three kids and seeing how two people can have three different personalities and raising them in the same household, three different personalities. It's just incredible. Then now as a grandmother, seeing my child in that position and how she’s improving on what I did. and seeing just the wonder and the excitement and the, you know, 'Oh look what I found!' 'It's just a blade of grass.' 'Oh but look it's wonderful!' I go, 'Yeah, I guess it is wonderful.' I think being the rabbi's wife here in Muskegon, being a mother, being a teacher, being a grandmother. Those are the four. JM: Can you describe what it means for you to be a Jew? AA: Mm. These questions you could just spend hours talking about. You know, interacting, not just talking. JM: Yes. AA: A responsibility. That's the first word that comes to mind, because I think our heritage and our traditions are so rich and deep. It's a responsibility. People always say, you know, we're “the chosen”, supposedly, or when God says: I have chosen you, it's not something taken lightly because throughout our history we have had that responsibility and then paid the price for it often. But I think that's my role primarily is that responsibility... and the joy! I mean, duh, not to negate that part, and the pride. So, I think that's kinda it. JM: How do you practice Judaism? AA: [pause] Jen. I'm married to the rabbi 5 �[both laugh] JM: But for you specifically. Like I know that, I think, rabbi keeps kosher, but you don't, right? AA: In the house we do. JM: Oh, you do, both, in the house? AA: Mmhm. The only place that we vary is when we eat out. But at home we have kosher home. Would I have that if he wasn't the rabbi? Maybe. I don't know. What was the question? JM: How you practice Judaism? AA: I guess, with me, it's talking about it. You know, letting people know, you know, with my star [lifts up necklace], being open to answering questions, being proud of it. I don't think it's so much—being a reformed Jew I don't think it's as important to have the ritual part of it. The ritual is the outward appearance of what you're feeling. I think talking about the way I feel about the way I feel about it. But definitely the holidays are very important. The way we raised our kids, was very important, and excepting that responsibility that I talked about. JM: Can you tell me about a time that you questioned your faith? AA: When my daughter died. JM: Okay, can you tell more Gilana? AA: Oh [laughs] oh Gilana. How do I describe Gilana? It almost sounds like that, you know, ‘how do you solve a problem like Maria?’ [both laugh] AA: How do you explain a person like Gilana? She was an imp. Red hair, brown eyes, edgy, very edgy, very passionate. You know, when she, when she got her mind on something, and that's why we have that celebrating acceptance, that Gilana's fund, cause she was so passionate about accepting people as they were, where they were. When she died, we said, it can't stop, she can't to her work, we have to do her work. But as a child she was—I remember one time, I think she was in middle school, probably taking government, and I was doing laundry. We had the best time that day. She just propped herself up on the dryer, which was probably the warmest place in the house, and we just talked about the government, and she was in middle school! You know, the different branches, the checks and balances, and she always was questioning, and I 6 �remember when she got to Indiana University, when we were moving her in, we were waiting for her to come back and we couldn't find her and we go out on campus and it was a bright beautiful fall day and she's just walking around, swishing through the leaves [laughs] and just enjoying life. And then I remember, she also said, ‘Mom, I'm finally able to have a conversation with somebody.’ In college. When she was in elementary school, she wanted to get to middle school. When she was in middle school, ‘I want to get to high school.’ Because she never felt she could really have a conversation. Cause, you know, you've gone through, when you get to middle school and high school it's like ‘what are you wearing?’ and all that kind of stuff. She didn't care. She wanted to get into things. And she had a phenomenal sense of humor. And she loved The Beatles. The Beatles were her boys. Those were her boys. She could listen to a song and say, ‘John's playing the guitar there, and that's Paul's voice.’ She just could pick them out. She loved the Beatles. JM: That's pretty cool. AA: And she introduced me to a lot of the songs, cause she was taking a class in the history of rock n’ roll. When I used to go down there, and I would sit in on the class with her, she would always—she just introduced me to so much. She was great. Yeah. I miss her terribly. I miss our conversations. JM: So do you still believe in God, or do you...? AA: Yeah, the thing—the turning point—after she died, I was furious. Because we have a tradition that with the high holidays, with Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, that the book of life is opened and it's sealed. And the decision is made who shall live and who shall die. Traditionally. And I sat there going, ‘Give me break!’ You know, why was this person chosen not to live, who had so much promise to do so much. I mean she [laughs] she worked at an adult toy store, and loved it, because she was helping people. You know, she didn't look at it as being, ‘Oh my goodness, I gotta keep this secret.’ She says, ‘Mom, I'm helping people.’ She wanted to go into either sex therapy or sex education. But I was so angry with the concept and I was saying, ‘oh God, how could you do this?’ And then I realized, how could you be angry at something that doesn't exist? So, God must exist if you're being angry, and that was kind of a turning point. And I think most people as they get older, start getting a little bit more spiritual. I'm not the kind of person—Alan, you're not hearing me say this—that believes I have to be in this building, and sometimes I don't want to be here for services, reading the same thing that everybody else reads. I'd rather go outside. I'd rather sit in the garden. I’d rather look up at the sky. You know, some part of me thinks that I may have been a Native American in my early life, because I really, feel the trees have a soul and that I don't like to cut down a tree, I don't like to pull the leaves off, cause they hurt. But that's, to me, where I feel that there's a God, is when I'm outside. JM: That's interesting. 7 �AA: Yeah. JM: And it's almost like earlier, how you practice, it's almost like that sort of, I feel like goes along… AA: Mmhm, yeah. Cause, I think if you feel that you have to be here at services to pray, it compartmentalizes it. It puts a beginning and an end. You know, I'm walking in, I'm Jewish. I'm walking out, I'm secular, it stops. And it's not the way it is. JM: That's interesting. AA: Okay. JM: That's smart. AA: You do what you want with that piece of information. JM: Okay, so kind of linked to that, what has it been like being the rabbi's wife? AA: [laughs] JM: And when you met Alan, did you—was he already planning on being a rabbi? AA: Mhmm, I knew what I was getting into. JM: Okay [laughs] AA: Let me start by saying that I am so fortunate that this is the congregation we're with. They're extremely accepting. When I was younger, there's a term called rabbitzen. I don't know if you've heard that? JM: AA: I think so, yeah That's the phrase that often times they'll call the rabbi's wife, and I didn't want that because that had a certain stereotype in my brain, of the woman who runs everything, and is forceful and domineering, and I'm going ‘nahh’ and I remember coming to Muskegon, going ‘I'm not the rabbitzen. If I'm married to the rabbi, I'm the playboy bunny. I'm not a rabbit, I'm a bunny’ [laughs]. But, they have been—in fact, within a year of coming here, I've always been involved in theatre and theatre sometimes is on a Friday night, and they've never been critical of my having to take it off. And one year we did The Merry Widow, and I don't know if you're familiar with that play, but it's about a man who falls in love with a courtesan and she goes to—and it takes place in France, so there's the can-can girls and we all know about the can-can girls. 8 �JM: Yes, AA: I was one of 'em! And I remember sitting there on stage, sitting on one of the guy's laps. The guy happened to be the daughter of somebody in our congregation, who was off stage cause she was involved in the play as well, and I'm going [awkward noise and laugh] you know, part of me is going, ‘I'm the rabbi's wife sitting on a congregant's son's lap, playing a can-can girl.’ [laughs] But, never, any questions as to why I wasn't there, or as to what I was doing. And I'm, by nature, somebody that gets involved, and likes to be involved and share things and whatever. So, they've given me that opportunity, within this—and they've never been demanding of me. Never thinking ‘you need to fit this role.’ So it's, it's just never been a problem, it's just kind of been an extension of me. JM: That's very interesting, that's cool. AA: Yeah, if you, if, there are some rabbis who are married to a spouse who are more introverted, maybe, and don't want to be involved, that might be a problem, depending on how the rabbi—but I think a lot of it has to do on what the rabbi—that's the connection between the congregation and the spouse, and I'm using those terms because there are rabbis who are women as well. You know, but the rabbi sets the boundaries that ‘my spouse will be doing some other things,’ the congregation will more or less accept it. And Alan has always done that. You know, ‘Anna is not gonna be here.’ Even now, I can't come to services, I'm involved with the Miss Michigan pageant, a studio recital, I'm not feeling well, and never, never any problems. JM: Can you describe your earliest memories of the temple? AA: Of this temple? JM: Yeah AA: Oh, yeah, huh [laughs]. Because I think, when we came here, I'm tryin’ remember, ‘76, I was just shy of being 28 and we were interviewed here and I just remember being at somebody's house being interviewed. And then the building itself, coming in here, is to me, is very stark, and that's not really my taste, but I can appreciate the fact that some people do like it. It was built in the forties, and it reflects that period, so being a historical...a hysterian... a hysterical historian [both laugh] I kind of look at it as reflecting the period it was built in. But I met the people before I was in the building. I think you're talking about the building, or about the congregation? JM: Either one. If your first interaction is with this building or with the congregation... AA: My first interaction was with the people. I remember after the interview, going home, and there were two or three women that I had already picked out that I thought, you know, I could probably get to be really good friends with them. And they were so 9 �accepting and natural, as you've experienced. I never felt that I had to impress or was intimidated by anybody. Eh, maybe one or two [laughs] but being who I am, even the people that I've felt were a little intimidating, I always kind of said, probably deep down, they're not like that. They're probably doing that for a reason or putting on a certain persona because they feel they have to, and there's gotta be something in there that's more relaxed. But my first impression with the people was, ‘they're pretty neat, really.’ JM: I agree with that. [both laugh] Okay. What changes have you witnessed at B'nai Israel? AA: Mm. [pretends to talk with mouth closed as she eats bagel] JM: That's alright [laughs] AA: Chewing and thinking. It's gotten smaller, for sure. It bothers me that we don't have kids as much anymore. That was one of the things that [recording glitches] here when we were trying to decide [glitch] I can remember thinking, ‘oh, there's a youth group! I can maybe in charge of the youth group.’ I think one of the biggest things, because as we've gotten smaller, there's more of a blending. That's the only word I can think of. It hasn't become congregant [holds up one hand] us [holds up other hand separate]. It's more like [interlaces fingers of hands] it's a bunch of people that get together. We have all these things, but it's not imposed, it's: we decide together. Obviously, not the holidays. Those are pretty much set, but even within the holidays there are things that people say, you know, ‘can we not do this?’ or I remember once, we were ready to start services, and Alan was up in the front wanting to start, and we were talking, and I don't remember who it was, it might have been Lee [leans forward and whispers to microphone]: don't quote me on that. [laughs] And we, a bunch of us, turned around and said, ‘wait a minute, we're not ready yet,’ and we kept on talking and he's just standing up there [laughs] but that's kind of the feeling. Or we'll come in and we'll say, ‘you know what, why don't we go outside and do services today?’ So it feels more, than it did before, because we are smaller, and also more distance from the previous rabbi. Cause the previous rabbi had certain standards that he set up, and then gradually it became us. But it's more of a—like a family, deciding what's gonna happen. That's a big change that's happened gradually. JM: It's become more family like. A [to M who entered room]: Who made up these questions? M: The students collectively. AA: Woah. [laughs] E [entered with M]: Questions by committee. 10 �AA: Yeah! JM: What are your worst memories and your best memories at B'nai Israel? AA: Oh, good grief [laughs] and this is going to be recorded, right? JM: Yes, it is [laughs] AA: Can I plead the fifth? [laughs] JM: You don't have to say anything you don't want to. AA: Worst memories and best memories… Best memories: oh my god, probably around my kids. I remember with Gilana, she was not even a year, and it was the high holidays, she must have been about four or five months, and at one-point Alan says, ‘and we all say amen’ and everybody goes ‘Amen,’ and then I hear this little voice going ‘Ah-eh-ah’ [laughs]. That's one memory I always have. I have one memory of, it seems to be mostly of Gilana, where we couldn't find her. She was three or four and she had climbed up the stairs in the kitchen, and there used to be a field back here [points out library window] and this guy walks up to the front door and he says, ‘are you looking for a little redheaded girl?’ I'm going ‘well, why didn't you grab her?!’ You know, she was heading that way [points out window] to the street, so I think that might not be a very fond memory. But it's also a little hard to say temple, or Jewish community. Very fond memory around our centennial when all of Muskegon celebrated us. We had Itzhak Perlman here, if you know who he is. JM: Yes, I do! I do. AA: Wow! You know, that was amazing! Weddings that have been held here, bar and bat mitzvahs of my kids, working with the Sunday school. Alan always used to say, ‘I wanna be a rabbi in a community where I can work through generations,’ and we've had that. We've known great-grandparents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, and that's been really neat. Worst memories: I can't think of any. You know, obviously probably the deaths of some people that were very important. People leaving, that meant a lot to us, that have moved on. That's pretty much it. I can't think of anything. It's interesting that you ask that question. I can't think of anything! Now [transition back to best memories], having my children, when they were brought into the community, and the way everybody accepted them, and they were raised by this congregation. That's a good memory. Having a bite of my bagel. JM: How would you describe the values of B'nai Israel? AA: Good. 11 �JM: Good? [both laugh] AA: I'm chewing! JM: Okay. AA: Very positive. There are times when I'll say, ‘Ah, oh my god we're so small. How are we going to do anything? Is it really worth putting this in? We're so small. Are we really going to be here that long?’ and the value of these people is: we're here, let's do it. Why shouldn't we plan this? Why shouldn't we put in a stairlift, people are going to be getting older. Why shouldn't fix the roof? As opposed to saying, let's just close down and get smaller. It's ‘No. We're still here. We're still thriving. We're vibrant.’ That's a very positive value. The value of their involvement in the community. I really think that Muskegon must think that we're bigger than we are, because we are so involved, in the symphony, in the museum, in the library, in, you know, in every aspect, we're there. I think the values are really positive. And you've experienced that. JM: Yes, definitely, I have. JM: Okay, so beyond—so you have kind of already answered this with what you've said, but beyond being married to the rabbi, what still keeps you a member of this temple? AA: It's the only one in town [laughs] You know, let's get practical, Jen. JM: Right, well why have you and Alan stayed in Muskegon? AA: Oh, going back to a positive thing that happened here! It just happened this summer! The feeling when Jen and Kim got married. Jennifer, a different Jen. When they got married, because they'd been going together for so long, but they wanted to formalize their union, and what was so wonderful about it, was when Ellen approached our president about whether they could get married, nobody thought anything other than ‘Are they members?’ and that was such a beautiful thing. Nobody questioned that it was going to be a same sex marriage. It was just: it's happening. Very natural, and that is such a positive value, and I'm so proud of this congregation for that. It was one of the most beautiful ceremonies, and most joyful and loving that we have ever ever had. It was wonderful. Then my son posted on Facebook ‘This is where I come from, I'm so proud of my father,’ and I'm going ‘aww, I love you David!’ [laughs] Anyway, that wasn't the question you just asked me. What keeps me here? JM: That's alright. So yeah, you and Alan have been here since 1976, right? AA: ‘76 12 �JM: So why have you stayed at this temple? Cause usually rabbis will move around, so what has...? AA: Cause there has always been something that's gonna be happening that we want to be a part of. You know, we had an opportunity to move at one point, and I remember thinking, ‘oh, but the centennials coming up’, ‘oh but I want to wait until so-and-so gets married’, or you know, ‘I wanna see what happens with this’, it's really the people that are so wonderful. I mean, when, again, I go back to when Gilana died, I don't know what we would have done. I mean can you imagine one of our congregants drove Alan down to Chicago in the middle of the night, and stayed with us? And was so instrumental when the doctors talked to us, obviously our minds were going all over the place, but he and his wife had this talent of listening, interpreting for us, and then leaving the room, to help us—they were just there. Then we came and, we came back on a Monday, and just like that the congregation had arranged sweets and coffee and all that to welcome us back. That whole week, you know. We had a huge celebration at the Frauenthal, which wasn't just the congregation, it was the whole city. And that's what keeps us here. It’s just every time I think we're gonna move or maybe we should retire, it’s like, can we take the town with us? [laughs] JM: Right, this your community. AA: But, you know, obviously, he is the rabbi and he's not going to move until there is no congregation, which I don't think will ever happen, I hope. JM: Yeah, that's, well actually the next question is how do you envision the future of B'nai Israel? AA: Who knows. We have been told so many times, going back 30 years, 40 years, no, not quite that much, ‘you might wanna start looking. This congregation has maybe five more years.’ In fact, my son, he says that scared his life. Cause Alan would always come home going ‘we may not be here much longer.’ Can you imagine saying that to a 5 year old, a 6 year old, a 10 year old? ‘Ahh, don't get too comfortable?’ [laughs] ‘Can I unpack my bag yet dad?’ But it's like the little engine that could, ‘I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.’ It just keeps going. Okay, so we don't have a function that attracts 100 people, so we have 50, so we have 30, so we have 20. But we have 20! It’s the congregation that always looks at the positive, not ‘well, we're not here anymore. maybe we should sell the building and move someplace.’ It's ‘no, we're gonna fix this up. This is our home.’ So I don't know what the future's gonna be. If Muskegon turns around, which it might, we might get more people. And we're here. JM: You're ready for ‘em AA: We're ready! Come and get it [laughs] 13 �JM: That's awesome. AA: Yeah JM: Yeah. I don't have other specific questions. Is there anything else that you… I actually do have one other question. When we talked about... ballet! So just tell me about your— why you do ballet? You teach it now, right? AA: Mmhm JM: And did you used to do it yourself? AA: Mmhm, not professionally, semi-professionally. I was a semi, I guess you could say semiprofessional, folk-dancing, it was really folk-dancing. I was a part of company, and we travelled, and we were paid. So I guess that's what makes it professional. I started taking ballet when I was six or seven, I don't remember what I put on there [referring to timeline of life]. JM: Yes, six, “started dance classes.” AA: It's always been there. I remember once, we had just moved to California, and my parents had gone somewhere, and I was home I had to wash my hair, or do something or other, and the landlord came up to fix something. And I was listening to Swan Lake, and he stops before he leaves, and he goes ‘Why are you so different?’ and I'm going ‘oh my god, where are we going with this thing?’ and I'm like, ‘whattya mean?’ and I knew him so we could talk. And he said, ‘You're seventeen years old and you're listening to Tchaikovsky. Why are you different?’ [laughs] That's just me, I've always been drawn to classical music. I'm always drawn to things that move. I'm always drawn to sculptures or pictures that have fluid things. You know, I'm not, I don't like—that's one thing with this building, it's so geometric. JM: It is very geometric. AA: Very geometric! But I love sculptures that have circles to it. That have movement. I love rhythms. I love drums! Oh my god. I love to embarrass my kids in the grocery store. ‘Mom, you're doing that again!’ ‘Yes!’ It's just been a way of expressing myself, maybe because I was an only child. It gave me that outlet. That brought me to theatre, and Alan loves musical theatre, and I do, and so, our son's a director, and Gilana was majoring in theatre too. One child that is practical and that's Aleza, she's a teacher! I always used to say Gilana and David were gonna struggle and Aleza was going to support them both. She's the practical one. God, I've talked more about Gilana than David and Aleza in this interview. But with theatre because it’s such—everybody talks about sports as being a way of teamwork and cooperation and discipline—so are the arts. There was a quote 14 �that I saw on Facebook, I can't remember what it is but basically with the arts, what do you have of past civilizations? You have their art. You have their sculpture. You have your literature. You have their paintings. That's what survives. Not their sports—except the Olympics—not the sports and the competition stuff. I'm not downplaying that, but when I teach my students, I've always said to them, you know they say, ‘well I can't come next week because I've got a final.’ I'm going: organize. You've got a class, discipline yourself. You’ve got a class on Thursday, you've got a paper due Friday, you get it done on Tuesday. You know, the organization part. It's also making the kids aware of what their bodies can do. It's like, okay you wanna reach for the cookie jar on the top shelf, what are you going to do with your body weight? How are ya going to support that, you know, that little—it's learning about their bodies and what it can do. And so, I just, I love teaching it now. JM: That's amazing. You never really think about it that way. AA: Yeah, and then in my class I always try to bring in—they always know that when we have a recital, if you're in Miss Anna's class, you're gonna do it to classical music. Not anything modern. Cause, when I do that, I teach them about the composer, about the music, about the period. I'm a history teacher, I can't get away from that. And, you know, I just, I try to give them some reason—none of them are going to become professional dancers—but some reason for why they should be there, an appreciation for that, developing that, learning how to steal the cookies from the top shelf when they shouldn't. JM: Were you a history teacher in Muskegon? So I know you taught ballet, but… AA: I teach ballet and my major is history, my minor is speech. That's why I talk so much. [laughs] I’ve never really taught—I did teach long term a little bit, but in Muskegon I did mostly subbing. No, actually I subbed once for almost an entire semester. As I say, I've never really had my own class to corrupt. [laughs] But I do like to tell kids—because history is a boring subject for everybody, I don't know if you liked history? JM: I did, I liked history. AA: But I always tell them, you've never had me for a teacher. Cause everybody looks at history as being all those dull facts and figures, and I'm going: that's just the coat hanger. It's not the whole thing. It's what you hang everything else on, and it's the everything else that's so exciting. And yeah, the dates never change, but your interpretation of what happened will change, and your interpretation will reflect where you live. And so, somebody living in the 20th century may look at the Civil War different from somebody who lived right afterwards, or somebody next year, or whatever. So history is constantly changing, but most teachers will teach it as go come and learn this dates, and I'm going ‘Ugh, please.’ So I would say, history and dance, and my family, are the three big things in my life. 15 �JM: Yeah, sounds like it. Can you tell me more about David and Aleza? AA: Yeah, oh my goodness. David, my youngest, being the only boy, and as he told me as he was graduating high school, that he says ‘Mom, you will never have a daughter-in-law,’ and I said, ‘Go forward.’ You know, he says, ‘you'll never have a daughter-in-law’ and I said, ‘so I'll have another son-in-law, that's okay!’ And, as I'm sure many parents of gay children will say, my first concern is for you, because luckily society is getting, hopefully, more accepting, but they haven’t always been. But he has done incredibly well. He’s very focused. He's very organized. He has tremendous people skills. And to be successful in that field in New York, is brutal. It's really, really—and sometimes when he feels down I say, ‘Hey, David, how many of your friends moved to New York when you did? How many are still here? How many are still here pursuing theatre, or gone into other careers? You are so focused,’ and I say to him, ‘If dad and I didn’t think you had the talent, we wouldn't be supporting you. By now we would have said, maybe you should find something else.’ But…I'd love for him to get off my payroll. [laughs] He's still on our payroll, but we don’t care because he has the talent. From what we've heard other people say about him, and the work we've seen, he has the talent, so why shouldn't we. He's going to make it. And then he comes back with, ‘what do you mean going to? I have.’ I go, ‘don't get too cocky. You know, I brought you into this world, I can take you out.’ [laughs] But he's right, he has made it because he's survived. And he's getting more and more known, and he's getting asked, and he's—you know, I think the bond between a mother and son is very special, and especially when that son is the youngest. And, I'm gonna say this, especially when your son has a lot of feminine traits, and obviously in dance I've met a lot of gay men, and they have always been the kindest, most generous, most loving, and to have a son like that? Why should I object to it? And so he has been, he calls, he still sits on my lap [laughs]. As he was growing up, being the last one out of the house, you know, going with me to run errands. And then Aleza has always been the stable one, I don't know if it's cause she's a middle child. Are you a middle child? JM: I am not. I'm the youngest. AA: Okay, so you're my David. JM: Yes. AA: Perfect example of Aleza, okay, we're at the dinner table, and Gilana being a redhead, and David being a redhead, and both being in theatre, [flicks arms up and down] boing! boing! boing! everything's flying around! And Gilana shares my husband's passion for things, just [makes movement and noise indicating discord] you know, fighting, and there's Aleza, and she, you know, she waits for a pause in the conversation and she goes ‘Can you pass me the salt?’ [laughs] That happened! You know, the other ones, the four people just going at it, and she just ‘can you pass me the salt?’ Just very calm, very focused, very generous, very stable. There's David and Gilana [holds up one fist for 16 �David, and the other for Gilana] and there's Aleza [puts fists together] holding on to them as they go. Just very—and I have been so fortunate that my kids are extremely close. Extremely. It was like, Gilana and David were very close, not so much Aleza, until Aleza, I always say kinda crossed the bridge, became closer Gilana as she aged, and then David was left behind. And then David caught up. When they were younger, because Alan grew up with two brothers, he would wanna go running in. I'd say, ‘wait.’ When he'd hear screaming, I'd go, ‘let ‘em work it out.’ And sometimes I wonder, how did I know that? I was an only child. But a friend of ours said, ‘if there's no blood, don't go,’ and they would solve it, and I think that's what did it. They learned to be together, and even now, David will say to me, ‘I'm flying down to Charlotte, next week. I just wanna see Aleza,’ or she'll go up to see him. I'll say to them, ‘have you talked?’ ‘Oh yeah, we talked to each other this morning, or yesterday.’ Feeling in myself, I'm going, ‘you didn't call me…’ [laughs] and then I go, ‘that's okay.’ You know, they're very very very close to each other. When David went to Western, and he was a freshman, and it was orientation week, and he was really lonely cause he was very much a home kid, Aleza borrowed her roommate’s car and drove in from Lansing, to spend the day with him. They do things like that. So, I'm very very fortunate to have those three kids. JM: They sound awesome. AA: Ah, they are. They really are. And I'm gonna see ‘em next week [laughs] JM: Yay! AA: So, did I answer everything? JM: You answered everything. Yeah, I mean [looks at Timeline] AA: Oh, that thing [looks at timeline]. Last year I was given the Friends of Hackley Library Humanitarian Award. I remember when I got it, I said to Alan, ‘I think this is a mistake.’ [laughs] I mean, what have I done. And then Susan Harrison Wolf, who’s a friend of ours and she worked for the chronicle, typical writer's response ‘just start writing down things.’ I guess, that was another highlight. I just kind of added that. JM: Yeah, I think that's great! I mean, from what I've heard, you've done a lot. AA: Yeah, I guess I have. But, this was fun! JM: Good, I'm glad that you enjoyed! AA: Yeah, and like I said, I love talking to classrooms. I love talking to—I love talking. I love eating bagels. What time is it? Oh my god, it's almost one o'clock. We've been talking for a while. 17 �JM: Yeah, looks like [looks at recorder] almost 50 minutes. AA: Really?! JM: Yeah AA: Wow JM: It's wild. I did notice one other thing on here [the timeline] you wrote down “met [your] best friend, Barbara.” You wanna tell me more about that? AA: Mmhm, Barbara and I just celebrated our 50th anniversary, that's what this rose is for [points to necklace]. This star [other necklace she is wearing] by the way was Gilana's. And um, there's the rose [points back to other necklace]. She [Barbara] was my big sister in the sorority, and an only child. In our first week, we went off on a retreat and it was the middle of the night, and we were out at a beach house and I couldn't find the key to the bathroom [laughs] and she got up to help me. And I figured, I think I'll get to know this woman a little bit more. And, it's interesting because our lives are so parallel. When we were growing up, I mean, throughout our friendship she'd say ‘god, I stubbed my toe yesterday,’ and I'm going ‘Really? So did I!’ ‘I'm coming down with a cold.’ ‘So am I.’ I mean there was so many things that would happen, at the same time. But they say that if you know somebody ten years, whatever, you'll know them for a lifetime. With her— and I have another friend from 8th grade that we were in the same city for one year, her family moved to New York, we stayed in St. Paul, we're still friends. JM: That's amazing. AA: Isn't it? JM: That's very amazing. AA: From 8th grade. Then I have another friend in Chicago from high school. JM: That's really amazing. AA: You have to work at it. JM: Yes, definitely! AA: And you have to have the right person. But Barbara, I know, in fact, sometimes when I— it's something about her, that I can't call her and ask her about [laughs] or complain about. It's like, well who do I complain about her to. But never. But that was a high point, meeting her. 18 �JM: Okay, well, I don't have any other questions. Is there anything else you'd like to say? AA: Thank you! JM: Thank you, this was amazing. AA: I'm gonna go eat my bagel now. 19 � https://digitalcollections.library.gvsu.edu/files/original/6a84c2406041db477386ab65e8d53988.mp3 1805172fd9e8eeb170e6ac6d668eeca5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

' t Your chairmen, and the committee that was appointed by them, have worked hard to see that the monies were collected and properly distributed. Through our affiliation with the Federated Council of Charities, of which your organization is a member, we had able advice and assistance in the disbursement of the funds. The people of our community as a whole are proving to be highly understanding in the needs of the less fortunate. This is proven by the over-whelming success of the second year's campaign, and we sincerely trust that your cooperation in the future will be as unselfish as it has been in the past. We trust that you will read this report, and scrutinize it very carefully so that you may offer criticism, if due, at our next annual meeting and dinner which will be held Monday, October llth, at 6:30 P.M. in the Russett Room at the Occidental Hotel.

But whosoever is careful in the fulfillment of this duty attests himself as belonging to the seed of Abraham, whom the Lord hath blessed: "For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the Lord, to do Tzedakah and Justice." (Genesis 18. 19.) Charity is the main foundation of Israel's preeminence, and the basis of the Law of Truth. As the prophet says unto Zion: "By Tzedakah shalt thou be established" (Isaiah 54 . 14). Its practice will alone bring about Israel's redemption: "Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with Tzedakah" (Isaiah 1. 27). Charity is greater than all sacrifices, says Rabbi Eleazar; even as it is written, "To do Tzedakah and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice". Whoso pities the poor shall himself receive compassion from the Holy One, blessed be He. Let him further reflect that as there is a wheel of fortune revolving in this world, perchance some day either he himself, or his son, or his son's son, may be brought down to the same lowly state. Nor let it enter his mind to say: "How can I give to the poor and thus lessen my possessions?" For man must know that he is not the master of what he has, but only the guardian, to carry out the will of Him who entrusted these things to his keeping. Whosoever withholds alms from the needy thereof withdraws himself from the luster of the Shekh inah and the light of the Law. Let man therefore be exceedingly diligent in the right bestowal of charity. Jacob ben Ashe,·, 1269-1349 . �! m MESSAGE f g ~RARY QHAIIWAN The United Jewish Charities or Greater Muskegon should not be regarded merely as a unified fund-raising instrument that swings into operation onlf during the daya of its annual campaign. Throughout the year, the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon is your community servant and trustworthy agent of your humanity. It performs a multitude or services. The organizations which it helps to support e~compass a large part of the globe and include significant efforts in your behalf in the United States and in our own community of Greater Muskegon. So that you may know the sources of the funds and how they are utilized, this annual report is being sent to you by your Chairman, Samuel Lipman. The accomplishments of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon during the fiscal year 1948-49 evoked high praise among the Jewish communities of the country. fice this tude task For the outstanding leadership and saori• and devotion to the cause of humanity, comm.unity acknowledges a debt of gratiand appreciation to Samuel Lipman for a well done. PAUL M. WIENER Honorary Chairman ��! MESSAGE FROM ,lllli CHAIRMAN In terminating the campaign of 1948-49, I look back upon the years spent in the administration of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon. After four years as Treasurer, the past year as Chairman and a board member since the organization's inception, I have had the honor and the privilege, as well as the heartfelt satisfaction of contributing, in part, to the formation and maintenance of the new Jewish State. Not only do I feel that I have contributed to the welfare of my brethren, but in doing this, I have seen the positive results of true values; I have gained a working knowledge of religion and altruism. The success of one's undertakings brings with it a joy and spirit unsurpassed. The Jewry of Muskegon can be proud of the role it played in the fulfillment of our dreams. However, we must be mindful of the fact that our task is, as yet not completed. It is not enough to support financially; we must also give of our time and effort. I hope and pray that those men and women who are capable of leadership will assume their responsibility 'and that the members of our community will co-operate to insure the success of future campaigns. I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my co-workers and to the community at large for their generous and unstinting time, money and effort. I'm sure all of us have benefitted spiritually and materially from participating in the worthiest cause in the history of mankind.

Herman Grossman for his assuming the chairmanship of the United Jewish Charities during the past year. His was a leadership that was forthright and dynamic. With Herman in the chair, there never was a dull moment at meetings. His deep - rooted interest in the cause which he championed was expressed not only in his hard-hitting words, but in his traveling many hundreds of miles to regional U.J.A. conferences where he drew inspiration to carry on in the community. For his devotion and self-sacrifice, we extend to Herman Grossman our most heartfelt thanks . PAUL M . WIENER, Honorary Chairman. ------~-------------------------.----------- �MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN As the 1952-1953 year in the United Jewish Charities program closes, I give thanks and gratitude on behalf of the officers and trustees to a splendid community which continues to take its place among the Jewish communities of Michigan . I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has manifested its desire to help bring to fruition man's ins.tinct and determination to be free, an even1" we witnessed in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has asserted its faith that there is a force for freedom and for good in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has declared that the experiment seen in the rebirth of the world ' s youngest democracy shall not fail. I say splendid because our commun- ity, through its local efforts, has affirmed the strength of the Israeli soul which boasts a vastly greater power than any material consideration , a power which has settled for nothing less than freedom, a power so great that it surpasses the violence of the sun itself . I say splendid, too, because I know that you will not relax your efforts to help my successor. This work for the United Jewish Charities is a life-giving work for the entire community. I believe we can , I believe we must, mold and recreate the spiritual and moral leadership which has always united our peoples . I say splendid, again, for from this power to unite has come the rare gift of providing so much more for such a greater cause. Continue to encourage this young man who has just gone into business for himself . And for your generosity, cind for your overflowing hearts, God bless you.

Throug out the year, the United Je ish Charities of Greater Muskegon is your community servant and trustworthy agent of your humanity. It performs a multitude of services. The organizations hich it helps to support encompass a large part of the globe and include significant efforts in your behalf in the United States and in our own community of Greater 1uskegon. So that you may kno the sources of the funds and ho they are utilized, this annual report is being sent to you by your Chairman, Samuel Lipman. The accomplishments of the United Jewish Charities of Greater uskegon during the fiscal year 1948-49 evoked high praise among the Jewish communities of the country. fice this tude task For the outstanding leadership and sacriand devotion to the cause of humanity, comI!lunity ackno ledges a debt of gratiand appreciation to Samuel Lipman for a well done. PAUL M. WIENER Honorary Chairman �-A ~AGE FROM -THE CHAIHMAN In terminating the campaign of 1948-49, I look back upon the years spent in the administration or the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon. Arter tour years as Treasurer, the past year as Chairman and a board member since the organization's inception, I have had the honor and the privilege, as well as the heartfelt satisfaction of contributing, in part, to the formation and maintenance or the new Jewish state. Not only do I reel that I have contributed to the welfare of my brethren, but in doing this, I have seen the positive results or true values; I have gained a working knowledge of religion and altruism, The success of one's undertakings brings with it a joy and spirit unsurpassed. The Jewry of Muskegon can be proud . of the role it played in the fulfillment or our dreams. However, we must be mindful of the fact that our task is, as yet not completed. It is not enough to support financially; we must also give of our time and effort. I hope and pray that those men and women who are capable of leadership will assume their responsibility and that the members of our community will co-operate to insure the success of future campaigns. I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my co-workers and to the community at large for their generous and unstinting time, money and effort. I'm sure all of us have .benefitted spiritually and materially from participating in the worthiest cause in the history of mankind.

His was a leadership that was forthright and dynamic. With Herman in the chair, there never was a dull moment at meetings. His deep- rooted interest in the cause which he championed was expressed not only in his hard-hitting words, but in his traveling many hundreds of miles to regional U.J.A. conferences where he drew inspiration to carry on in the community. For his devotion and self-sacrifice, we extend to Herman Grossman our most heartfelt thanks. PAUL M. WIENER, Honorary Chairman. ( �MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN As the 19 52-1953 year in the United Jewish Charities program closes, I give thanks and gratitude on behalf of the officers and trustees to a splendid community which continues to take its place among the Jewish communities of Michigan. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has manifested its desire to help bring to fruition man's instinct and determination to be free, an event we witnessed in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has asserted its faith that there is a force for freedom and for good in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has declared that the experiment seen in the rebirth of the world's youngest democracy shall not fail. I say splendid because our commun- ity, through its local efforts, has affirmed the strength of the Israeli soul which boasts a vastly greater power than any material consideration, a power which has settled for nothing less than freedom, a power so great that it surpasses the violence of the sun itself. I say splendid, too, because I know that you will not relax your efforts to help my successor. This work for the United Jewish Charities is a life-giving work for the entire community. I believe we can, I believe we must, mold and recreate the spiritual and moral leadership which has always united our peoples. I say splendid, again, for from this power to unite has come the rare gift of providing so much more for such a greater cause. Continue to encourage this young man who has just gone into business for himself. And for your generosity, and for your overflowing hearts, God bless you.

We have found happiness in the realization that we are our brothers' keepers. Our brothers in many parts of the world are facing serious crises. They need our help desperately. It is only through our organized U.J.C. that we are enabled to unite with Jews everywhere in extending a helping hand . Israel, faced with isolation, surrounded by hostile states, craves our assurance that she has not been abandoned. By our gifts to U.J.C. we are giving Israel our support which will enable her to weather the present crisis as she has weathered other crises in the past. Let us continue to give, work, and sacrifice, for "God loveth a willing giver."

STRIFLING Chairman �MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN On behalf of the officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of the year 1955-56, I wish to thank all in our community who had a part in making this drive the success it has been. Personally, I am grateful for having been selected chairman of the Muskegon United Jewish Charities for the past year. I have gained a knowledge of service work that is priceless and have learned how essential are these funds to the multitude of services that the organizations perform for the cause of humanity. I have found that when the need is present men who feel the responsibility arise to the occasion. My sincere thanks to my co-chairman, Fred Stein, and my treasurer, Leo Rosen who have responded so magnificently and my sincere gratitude to all the board of directors. Best wishes and success for the 1956 - 57 drive to the chairman, the officers and the board.
