The UJA Rabbinic Cabinet meeting included, seated from left, Rabbi
James Gordon, Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, Wayne Feinstein of the Jewish
Welfare Federation, Rabbi Efry Spectre and, standing, Rabbi Irwin
Groner, Rabbi Norman T. Roman and Irwin Alterman.
Detroit's rabbinical leaders
heard a pre-Shavuot sermon last
week when Rabbi Haskel Looks-
tein, chairman designate of the
United Jewish Appeal National
Rabbinic Cabinet, joined them for
lunch at Cong. Shaarey Zedek.
Rabbi Lookstein, who heads
tong. Kehilath Jeshurun in New
York and serves as principal of
the Ramaz School, also is Joseph
H. Lookstein Professor of Homile-
tics at Yeshiva University — a
position carrying the name of his
late father.
But it was as a colleague that
Lookstein, first vice president of
the New York Board of Rabbis,
addressed the luncheon. In a few
weeks he will be the chairman of a
national body that unites rabbis
across the entire denominational
spectrum "to serve klal Yisrael"
through the UJA.
Sharing his thoughts on the up-
coming Festival of Torah, Rabbi
Lookstein said Shavuot's central
theme is that of tzedakah: "Torah
begins with chesed (righteous-
ness) and ends with chesed . . . In
your preoccupation with the ritu-
als of Torah," he said, "don't forget
the essence of Torah: tzedakah
(charity).
"If charity is essential to our
outlook on Torah," he added, "it is
also essential to Shavuot because
it forms our outlook on life: when
you glean your fields, a piece of
what you grow is not yours, it is
for the needy. You and God and
the poor are partners; we own that
piece together."
Shavuot reminds us, he said,
that "duties are primary,
blessings are secondary . . . Who-
ever said charity is fun? You give
not because it's fun but because
the Lord your God said you should
give."
The ultimate goal of Torah, said
Rabbi Lookstein, goes beyond the
act of giving tzedakah; "it is to
make of us — you and I — `baalei
tzedakah', kind and generous
human beings."
He applied the message to Op-
eration Moses, the special
worldwide appeal on behalf of the
Ethiopian Jews being absorbed in
Israel. It is estimated that the cost
of settling each of these newcom-
ers is $6,000, for a total of $60
million. "A gift of $1,200 allows I
me to save 20 percent of a Jewish
life! Can you imagine 40 years
ago, if someone had given us a
chance to save a Jew from Poland
?,,
As a rabbi, Lookstein acknowl-
edged, his own giving motivates
others to give. "It's the principle of
follow me." With that
acharai
principle at work in his own con-
gregation, members contributed
$250,000 to Operation Moses.
There were more than 300 special
appeals in other New York
synagogues.
Detroit has embarked upon a
special one-time cash appeal for
Operaton Moses throughout the
month of May. Checks may be
made out to Operation Moses- Al-
lied Jewish Campaign and sent to
the Jewish Welfare Federation,
