Thoughts on Parshat Noach
Imagine a World Without
Nations and Religions.
No Thank You.
Rabbi Steven Saks
What sin did the builders of the Tower of Babel
commit? From the account in Genesis it is unclear:
the action of the builders could be construed as a
pious attempt to bridge the gap between the heavens
and earth. Furthermore, the builders of the tower
demonstrated the ability to work together, unlike the
generation of the flood, and therefore were not
destroyed, as Rashi points out. Yet, it is clear that
G-d is not pleased with the construction of this
tower and therefore disperses the people and causes
them to speak in seventy languages instead of one
(the holy tongue according to Rashi). Why?
There is an opinion in the Talmud Yerushalmi,
Megillah 1:11, 71b, which suggests that even before
the flood seventy languages were spoken amongst
the inhabitants of the world. This opinion is based
on Gen. 10:5, which comments that Noah’s
descendants, who are the ancestors of the world’s
seventy nations, lived in their separate lands
speaking their own languages.
If we follow this view of the Talmud, we can
now make sense of the sin of Babel. The builders of
the tower (located near ancient Accad, the world’s
first territorial empire) were imperialists who were
only able to build magnificent structures by
subjugating others. In fact this was a common
imperial practice in the ancient Near East. An
inscription of the Assyrian emperor Sargon the
Second states that, “Populations of the four quarters
of the world with strange tongues and incompatible
speech . . . whom I had taken as spoils at the
command of Ashur my lord by the might of my
scepter, I caused to accept a single voice.”
Furthermore, there is a similarity in language
between the builders of the tower and the great
(Continued on page 3)

(Continued from page 2)
though governance is needed, it should
not be used as a tool to subjugate
minorities and stifle individuality.
John Lennon asked us to imagine
a world without countries or religion.
While that may sound ideal to some,
unfortunately, in practicality this
utopian dream would leave us with the
Tower of Babel. Do we really want to
live in a society that doesn’t allow
room for distinctions among nations?
Imagine if there had never been an
Israel that taught the world not to
oppress the orphan, widow and
stranger or that the ruler is not above
the law. Imagine that there was not a
United States leading the world
against ISIS (ISIL) in its attempt to
establish a brutal Caliphate. That is
certainly not a world we would want to
live in and that is not the kind of world
G-d wants us to build.
imperialistic oppressor, Pharaoh (see
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Covenant and
Conversation: Parshat Noach 5772).
The builders declare, “Come, let us
build ourselves a city and a tower . . .
lest we be scattered over the face of
the earth” (Gen. 11: 4). Pharaoh
declares, “Come, let us deal wisely
with them, lest they increase so
much” (Ex. 1: 10).
In light of this similarity, we can
view G-d’s dispersion of Babel and
confusing of her people’s languages as
an act of liberation that returned the
world to its pre-imperial state.
Though oppressive empires are
dangerous, so too is anarchy as
witnessed by the corruption and
violence which ravaged the world
before the flood. The Book of Judges
lays the groundwork for the Israelite
monarchy by concluding, “There was
no king in Israel and everyone did as Kol Tuv,
he pleased” (Judges, 21:25).
The flood account teaches us Rabbi Steven Saks
that order is needed and the
dispersion account reminds us that,

When you read this message we will have hit and hopefully surpassed the 100 mark in Sisterhood
members. We are glad to have back all of our repeat members and give a special welcome to all of
our new members, including quite a few who are non-members of AKSE. These women may belong
to other synagogues in town, but they see the worth in joining our wonderful Sisterhood. A big thank
you to the 14 families who bought 101 bottles of honey to sweeten the New Year for friends and family
and for sweetening our treasury with over $250 of profit! Don't forget that Boscovs Friends Helping
Friends coupons are available for purchase in the office.
We had a very successful Welcome Back Brunch with close to 50 attendees thanks to our dynamic
duo of Sharon Berry and Cathy Vinograd (and their spouses Dan & Moishe too), who along with their
committee planned and prepared all the food. Another terrific twosome and cute couple Ellen and
Michael Feingold gave a wonderful presentation about healthy eating and shopping that is sure to
change our eating habits!

We Invite You to Sponsor a Shabbat Kiddush
Dear Fellow AKSE Congregants:
The members of the Kiddush Fund Committee invite every family to sponsor at least one
regular Shabbat Kiddush every year for $36. Your name will be posted in the Shabbat
newsletter as the sponsor of the Kiddush that morning. Please think of a Simcha that is
coming up that you would like to share with your congregational family such as a
birthday, anniversary, retirement or any other happy occasion. Our goal is for each
family to annually show support for the Kiddush fund which enables us to come
together to celebrate and share happy occasions on Shabbat.
Please contact the office at 302-762-2705 to find out if your desired Shabbat
date is available for sponsorship. Please contact Judy Berlin at 302-762-3649
to discuss your special requests. Additional items like a special cake or
kugels can be included for an additional charge. Thank you in advance,
The Kiddush Fund Committee
Sayings of the phathers:
If I do not sponsor a Kiddush, who will?
If others sponsor a Kiddush and I do not, what am I?
If not now, when?

WHAT'S COOKING IN YOUR KITCHEN?
High Holidays are coming up sooner than we think, time flies just as quickly as summer went by so
quickly now it is time for a taste of Fall. Here are a few recipes that might help with your planning for
the holidays. Recipes that are easy and take little time are helpful when you want to get dinner on the
table and get to services on time.
This first recipe is for stuffing. We all make stuffing and our families love our stuffing. I love it plain with chicken livers
which is not a favorite of most people’s taste. So, I tried to make it with cranberries, apples, nuts and raisins, - things that
remind of Fall.. Some people love mushrooms and some people hate them. We do not eat sausage stuffing, but if you
want to brown some ground chicken with fennel seasoning you will get a similar result. How about cutting a pocket in your
brisket and put stuffing in the center of that? That is delish! Here is a recipe for Challah Slow Cooker Stuffing. It can be
cooking while you are planning your meals. You could be stuffing your chicken breasts with the second recipe.
Ingredients for Challah Slow Cooker Stuffing from The Shiksa In The Kitchen.com
1 large Challah ( about 1 1/2 lbs)
6 Tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large sweet yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced (you might want to leave the garlic out if it is for Yom Kippur before fasting)
1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
1 lb celery, peeled and chopped (get rid of those strings)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped
1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 1 /3 tep dried sage)
1 teaspoon fresh marjoram, chopped ( or 1 1/3 tsp dried marjoram)
2 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tsp dried oregano) (also not a favorite for a stuffing flavor for my family, I would
leave out the oregano)
1 quart chicken broth (4 cups) (keep homemade broth in the freezer for Holiday cooking, make your own!)
1 lb sliced white mushrooms
2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the Challah into 1/2 inch cubes. Spread the cubes out across two baking
sheets. Place the trays in the oven for about 12 minutes, switching trays on racks halfway thru cooking, till the Challah
cubes are toasted and starting to turn golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool. You can do this ahead of time to
save you time!
Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high. Saute the onion and garlic for 6 - 7 minutes till softened
and fragrant.
Add chopped carrots, celery, parsley, sage, marjoram and oregano to the pan. Saute for 5- 6 more minutes. Pour 2 1/4
cups of chicken broth into the pan along with 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Remove from heat. Reserve
remaining chicken broth.
Heat up the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium height heat. Add sliced mushrooms to skillet. Saute
for 10 minutes till the mushrooms begin to brown and shrink in size. Remove from heat. You may need to cook the
mushrooms in two batches depending on the size of your skillet.
In large mixing bowl, combine Challah cubes, vegetable/ chicken broth mixture, and mushrooms. Stir to blend all the
ingredients, making sure the Challah cubes are evenly moistened. Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir till they are
well mixed into the stuffing. The mixture may seem dry now, but wait to add more broth until it's had a chance to cook-the
liquid will slowly be absorbed by the bread.
Spray with non-stick spray (I use slow cooker liners for less clean up) and pour the Challah mixture into a 5 to 6 quart slow
cooker pot. Turn the setting to high and cover pot. Cook for 30 minutes on high. Check the stuffing to see if it seems dry,
if it does, drizzle a little more broth over the top of the stuffing. Cover pot again and reduce heat to low.
(Continued on page 13)

SHOFAR
OCTOBER 2014
(Continued from page 12)
Let cook on low for 4 hours, checking and stirring every hour
to make sure the stuffing isn't too dry. It it is, add more brothcarefully, as it can easily go from the right texture to overly
wet and mushy. After 4 hours, stir, taste, and add more salt
or pepper, if desired. Switch to warm setting until ready to
serve.
Stuffed Chicken Breasts ( Sweet for the High Holidays Meals)
Pound and flatten chicken breasts (or slit and open chicken
thighs). (pound to 1/2 inch pieces)
Wash and dry the chicken and lay out on flat surface to fill.
Filling Ingredients
1 Tablespoon oil
1 1/2 cups diced sweet-tart baking apples Chopped
1/3 cups diced yellow onion (one small onion) Chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup apple cider
Saute ingredients until translucent, about 4 minutes. Cook
until liquid is absorbed about 4 more minutes. Fill the desired
amount of chicken breasts and/ or thighs. Secure with string
or toothpick, season with salt and pepper (I sprinkle a bit of
Wondra flour over the chicken as well). Brown for 2 minutes
in oil on each side and remove to sprayed baking dish. Cover
with oil from the frying pan and 1/4 cup of apple cider and
bake until the juices run clear and chicken is done. Serve
with a fresh spring of rosemary or parsley and the sauce from
baking pan.

A New,
Hassle-free Way to
Purchase Gift Cards!
Want to buy gift cards but are not able to
get to the synagogue? No problem! Just
call the synagogue office, tell them what
you need, and they will mail the cards to
you. You will be required to pay for them,
by check, as soon as possible, but no later
than seven (7) days after placing your
order.
It's
that
simple!
You might be asking ....
why can't I just use my credit card to
purchase gift cards and not have to
write a check?
Answer: The
synagogue needs to pay a service
charge of up to 4% on credit card
transactions, so, as you can see, this
would eat into the 5% we would earn
on
the
sale
of
gift
cards.
We are implementing this on a trial basis. We feel that this
is a process we must try, to make it easier
