The Scout Oath<br />
Since the publication of Scouting for Boys in 1908 by the<br />
founder of Scouting Lord Robert Baden-Powell, all Scouts<br />
and Guides around the world have taken a Scout (or Guide)<br />
promise or oath to live up to ideals of the Scout Movement,<br />
and subscribed to a Scout Law.<br />
On my honor, I will do my best<br />
To do my duty to God and my country<br />
And to obey the Scout Law;<br />
To help other people at all times;<br />
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and<br />
morally straight.<br />
The Scout Oath is a personal code of living, guide the way in<br />
which each Scout lives his life and binds all Scouts together.<br />
With the Scout Oath, a Scout is engaged to do his best to<br />
obey the Scout Law and it mentions the main principles:<br />
• Duty to God: Scouting strengthens the bond between<br />
the Scout and God through nature study, to see what<br />
God is, and by helping others, which is what God asks<br />
of us.<br />
• Duty to Others: The Good Turn is a key component of<br />
the law and promise, because it is the duty to others,<br />
which according Baden-Powell is the main duty God<br />
asks of us.<br />
• Duty to Self: Scouting gives more exciting, better<br />
alternatives to bad habits that will absorb the Scout’s<br />
attention and gradually lead him to forget the old habit.<br />
The boy is not governed by DON’T, but is led on by<br />
DO.<br />

Torah Portion Preview<br />
For Tazria<br />
Shabbat beginning <strong>April</strong> 12, 2024<br />
This week’s portion deals with “Leprosy” the usual translation of the Torah’s skin<br />
diseases. It includes infectious discoloring and bodily fluids on people, clothing,<br />
and objects. Such natural events are treated in the context of the spiritual events<br />
of purity and impurity. The priests observe the natural events to judge when to<br />
quarantine or re-admit affected persons.<br />
Commentators have much difficulty with the portions. The ancients used them to<br />
diminish the spiritual engagement of women. Some modern commentators<br />
ignored them (as Mark Washofsky did in his Jewish Living: A Guide to<br />
Contemporary Reform Practice) but many others tried to wedge a small opening<br />
of relevance in the text. Modern psychology can help us connect to the feelings<br />
and thoughts of our ancestors. Their instructions are based on fear of great harm<br />
through natural or spiritual processes, which they allayed through careful<br />
observation and avoidance. Lack of knowledge bred overgeneralization, which<br />
unfairly stigmatized large segments of the population. But even so, they tried to<br />
re-unite the stigmatized persons into their community. Our efforts to accept<br />
members of minority races and sexual preferences show that we have not yet<br />
mastered this process.<br />
We invite all to come to synagogue in person or on Zoom on Friday night to hear a<br />
more in-depth interpretation from Rabbi Meeka (or this Sabbath’s lay speaker).<br />
We also invite other views, interpretations, reflections, and even poems on each<br />
Torah portion. If you have something to contribute, please email it to<br />
RPC@templeadasshalom.org. This and prior previews can be found at Dr. David<br />
Dirlam’s website by clicking on Changing Wisdoms Projects<br />
