UP FRONT too all of our friends and customers... SHMOOZIN Happy Chanukah from the family at JEWELERS "Tonight must be the last night of Chanukah -• the menorah is in full bloom." SUNSET STRIP • 29536 NORTHWESTERN • SOUTHFIELD, MI • 48034 • 357-4000 And 'Home' For Shabbat With modern technology, you can work all week in America and be in Jerusalem for the Sabbath JOSEPH AARON Special to the Jewish News I t hit me somewhere over Belgium. Or maybe it was England. Somewhere be- tween the movie and the lox- and-bagels breakfast. Wherever it was, it was when I was coming home from my latest visit to Israel. And my shortest. I left late Thursday night of one week and was back early Friday morning of the next week. It was on the way back that I began to think of how in- credible it all was. Incredible to be going not just 6,000 miles one way and 6,000 miles the other, but to be going from exile to holyland and back to exile, all in the span of six days. And yes, I very definitely did rest on the seventh day. It was an exhausting trip and maybe it was my exhaus- tion or the jet lag or the hec- tic pace or one too many cocktails or all of the above, but the result was that my mind began to wander as I flew home. And what it came up with, as it wandered, was that if I really wanted to, it was more than possible for me to spend my week working in America and spend my Shabbat pray- ing in Jerusalem. Spend each and every week doing weekly sorts of things in exile and each and every Shabbat do- ing Shabbat sorts of things in the Land of Our Fathers.. It can work. All you have to do is leave New York on the seven o'clock flight Thursday night. You'll arrive in Israel early Friday afternoon, have time to get ready and then it's Shabbat in the Holy City. As in Friday night at the Wall, making kiddush and later havdalah in Jerusalem. You can even go out for a real Israeli falafel Saturday night before you have to head back to the airport for a 1 a.m. flight that gets you back to New York early Sunday mor- ning. Come Monday morning, you're back at your desk. And you can do that week after week. Now of course there are the practical realities of how much that will cost, of being able to take Fridays off, of wear and tear on the body, not to mention the mind. But the fact is, and this is what blew my particular mind, that it can be done. You can live here and spend every Shabbat there. I think the reason that fascinates me so much is because it says a lot about how far we've come and where we all find ourselves at the moment. And because, I think, it says a lot about how so-called progress has out- raced our ability to under- stand it or deal with it. The last 100 years have seen an incredible shrinking of the world. You can go vir- tually from here to anywhere in 24 hours or less. Pick up your phone, push a few but- tons and you can talk to anyone anywhere. Mini on your TV and you can see anything going on anywhere. For thousands of years, Jews the world over dreamed of going to Israel, struggled to get there, despite the long distances, the primitive forms of transportation, the lack of communication links, the lack of a sovereign Jewish State.
