Be the change you<br />
wish to see in the<br />
world<br />
By Rabbi Evan Shore<br />
Throughout the long cold winter Syracuse<br />
experienced, many made gr<strong>and</strong>iose plans<br />
for the summer months. Now that the warm<br />
weather has arrived, what are some of your<br />
ideas?<br />
Rabbi Tarfon in Pirkei Avot teaches us: “You<br />
are not required to complete the task, yet you<br />
are not free from withdrawing from it.” It is my<br />
estimation that Rabbi Tarfon was not referring<br />
to summertime projects. Rather, he was<br />
informing us of our communal obligations.<br />
It has been said there are too many leaders but<br />
few followers. Charles Dickens, in 1852 in the<br />
Household Narrative of Current Events, echoed<br />
this same theme. The more the world changes<br />
the more it remains the same.<br />
Nationally, many feel leaders are failing the<br />
masses; the leaders feel the followers are not<br />
pulling their weight. Rabbi Tarfon is teaching<br />
us a profound idea. Finger pointing solves little<br />
<strong>and</strong> accomplishes nothing. Recently, under the<br />
auspices of the Jewish Federation of Central<br />
New York, along with the local pulpit Rabbis,<br />
I met with the Jewish Young Leadership of<br />
Syracuse. The common denominator at the<br />
crux of all questions <strong>and</strong> answers was JEWISH<br />
SYRACUSE. How do we grow, build <strong>and</strong><br />
strengthen our Jewish community?<br />
Thankfully, we have a portal to channel the<br />
energies of leaders <strong>and</strong> followers in Syracuse.<br />
The portal is found at 5655 Thompson Road,<br />
our very own JCC. There is a tremendous<br />
amount of work to be done. Some goals will be<br />
met this year while others not for many years.<br />
However, we owe it to ourselves <strong>and</strong> to our<br />
children not to shirk our duty. After you read<br />
this article, make a phone call to the JCC <strong>and</strong><br />
become involved.<br />
Celebrate, honor <strong>and</strong> remember<br />
To commemorate special occasions —births, birthdays,<br />
graduations, anniversaries, weddings, Bar or Bat Mitzvah,<br />
or to perpetuate the memory of a loved one—the<br />

endowments <strong>and</strong> special funds. The JCC will send an<br />
