TEXAS JEWISH POST #SINCE 1947
Adat Chaverim's student
Julia Rubin-Cadrairt
cantor, Irv Munn
Julia graduated from the New
England Conservatory of Music
with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal
Performance and a concentration
in music in education. She has sung
with choirs and has been a soloist
with various temples. Julia spent her
first year of cantorial school at HUC's
Jerusalem campus. Rabbi Pein and
Student Cantor Rubin-Cadrain are
already working together this sum-
mer to prepare the High Holy Days
'Sacrifices of Sarah'
If anyone has been to the Tycher
Library in the Jewish Community
Center recently you might have
noticed something different at the
landing leading to the Mankoff Cen-
ter. Veronique Jonas, a talented art-
ist and Executive Committee board
member of the Federation's Jewish
Education Department, loaned the
Tycher a seven-paneled artwork piece
titled "The Sacrifices of Yitzhak."
Veronique's representation of the
painting is: "As a woman, the char-
acter that intrigues me the most in
the Binding of Yitzhak is Sarah. The
Bible says very little about her. All we
know is that she was very old when
she had Isaac and that she died soon
after his return. There are countless
pious women whose faith in G-d is
unquestionable, but I will argue that
they would not think of sacrificing
their child. Sarah was not given a
choice about her son being sacri-
ficed; she was never consulted either
by G-d or by Abraham. She was a
mere spectator in the drama that
unfolded. I see Sarah as representa-
tive of all mothers, all over the world
who have not been given a choice
about their son's destiny. Sarah is
the mother who sends her son to
war and who, sometimes and often,
loses him. The story is the Akedat
'Yitzhak,' but it is really the tragic
story of a helpless woman, a mother
whose heart is broken when her child
is wrenched away from her. Sarah is
the mother of countless young men
who are sacrificed to a higher cause;
they are the sons of America and of
Israel. Thousands of young Israe-
lis have died in the IDF. Over 3,000
young Americans have been lost in
Iraq. Many thousands of young sol-
diers have perished throughout the
world and throughout the ages. This
painting is a glorification of Mother-
hood and the hopes and dreams that
a mother has for her baby, and then
all too soon, at the ages of 17, 18 or
19 — these boys are being sacrificed,
just like Isaac, for a 'higher cause.'
These are the 'Sacrifices of Sarah' —
all the sons and daughters that are
lost to war."
The piece, which has been on
display at the Thanksgiving Square,
was originally done for the P2K pro-
gram in Israel in which the subject
was Yitzhak.
