What an idea we read this Shabbat! Not only do we need rest, but so does everything
else around us. Focus shifts from self outward.

Congregation Beth Am
By Joseph O'Brien
San Diego Reader
Feb. 20, 2013

5050 Del Mar Heights Road,
Del Mar

Rabbi David Kornberg: “I think
that religion in general and
Judaism for me in particular has
a lot to offer. We as clergy
need to find ways to share that.”

Rabbi David Kornberg: “I think
that religion in general and
Judaism for me in particular has
a lot to offer. We as clergy
need to find ways to share that.”

Membership: 550

Rabbi: David Kornberg

Age: 45

Born: Los Angeles

Formation: University of
California-San Diego; Jewish
Theological Seminary, New York

Years Ordained: 18

San Diego Reader: How long
do you spend writing your
sermon?

Rabbi David Kornberg: High
Holy Day sermons I spend
sometimes all through the
summer finishing them and
polishing them; but the typical
Saturday morning Sabbath
sermon I work on for a couple
days beforehand during the
week.

SDR: What is your favorite
subject on which to preach?

RK: I love to take a text and
make it relevant. It’s not a
particular topic, but that’s what I
try to do on a weekly basis —
take the Torah text or other
texts we have and make them
relevant today.

SDR: What is your main
concern as a member of the
clergy?

RK: I think it goes back to
relevance. I think that religion in
general and Judaism for me in
particular has a lot to offer. We
as clergy need to find ways to
share that with people that are
out there, and get the message
across that the world is
challenging and difficult, and
we have tough choices to
make. Fortunately, we have a
great place to go to get
guidance — moral and ethical
guidance, personal guidance in
terms of how to progress and
handle some of those
difficulties in life.

SDR: Why Judaism?

RK: Judaism for me is a great
balance between ideas and
actions. I think we need both in
this world. Judaism finds the mix
between those two concepts —
allowing us to take the ideas
and values we have and put
them into action. Judaism really
believes that ideas that are not
put into action are sort of
meaningless — and to simply
act without the moral and
ethical backing behind it doesn’
t get you where you want to go.
So, I think you have to have
that mix — and Judaism does
that very well

SDR: Where’s the strangest
place you ever found God?

RK: I was working as a hospital
chaplain and I was struggling
with my own beliefs at that
particular time, as we do
sometimes. I was asking all
sorts of questions — such as
“Where’s God?” and “Wouldn’t
it be great if we could see God
and know Him without any
doubt?” Then I met with an
AIDS patient, and I was able to
hear God’s voice through this
patient. As he asked me those
same sorts of questions, he
had me try to answer them. It
was a very powerful moment.

RK: Where do you go when you
die?

SDR: There are actually a lot of
different views in Judaism. I
actually taught a class on the
Jewish views of life after death.
When I titled the class “The
Jewish Views,” my assistant
tried to edit it to “The Jewish
View.” I went back and told him
that it had to be “Views”
because there are a lot of
them. But if we crystalize it to its
most basic, there’s a part of us
which comes from God, and
that’s eternal and can’t die.
That part is rejoined with God
and those are the parts in
people that continue on after
we die. What it looks like and
where we go when we die —
whether we’re going to be in
houses or whatnot — I don’t
know. But that sense of self
and who we are, that identity of
who we are as a person and
the things we’ve done — all
that remains.

At Carmel Valley’s
Congregation Beth Am, Rabbi
David Kornberg and Assistant
Rabbi Matthew Earne take very
seriously the responsibility of
nurturing people spiritually.

“We want to meet people’s
needs by allowing them to learn
Jewishly, have meaningful
Jewish experiences and
develop a sense of
camaraderie with their Jewish
community,” says Rabbi Earne,
adding that he and Rabbi
Kornberg take pride in
developing relationships with all
of Beth Am’s students and
adults, regardless of age. “We
see ourselves as being
partners with all of our
congregants in Jewish
education…We’re not rabbis to
stand from above and
supervise. If we’re talking about
helping people grow Jewishly,
we grow hand in hand.”

As part of its goal to provide
multiple entry points for those
seeking a Jewish journey, Beth
Am makes sure to cover the
gamut when it comes to
educational offerings. From a
preschool that serves
newborns through pre-K kids
offering new extended hours; to
expanded Jewish adult learning
that includes
partnerships
with the Jewish National
Fund and AIPAC;
to cultural
opportunities like a Jewish book
club, an upcoming trip to
Eastern Europe and Israel, a
Fine Wine and Rabbis group
and a choir that sings in
Hebrew, Yiddish and Ladino; to
the Jewish Learning Center for
grades K-6 that has adopted a
new curriculum that emphasizes
an individualized learning
approach, the educational
opportunities for every age at
Beth Am are plentiful and
varied.
Daniel Shinoff Declaration
re Rabbi David Kornberg
GOP Lawmaker Open
to Nuking Iran
By Ben Dreyfuss
Mother Jones
Dec. 4, 2013

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-
CA) says he hopes the
United States doesn't go to
war with Iran, but if it
happens, he wants to see
a nuclear attack.

On Wednesday, Hunter, a
member of the House
Armed Services
Committee, told C-SPAN:

 I don’t think it’s inevitable
but I think if you have to hit
Iran, you don’t put boots on
the ground, you do it with
tactical nuclear devices
and you set them back a
decade or two or three. I
think that’s the way to do it
with a massive aerial
bombardment campaign.

He did not discuss the
consequences of any
possible radioactive fall-
out.

You can watch the entire
CSPAN interview here (if
you're into that sort of
thing).

Hunter isn't the only
member of his party—or
family—to talk about
nuking Iran as a real
possibility. When his father,
former Representative
Duncan Hunter,
campaigned for president
in 2007–with Ann Coulter's
endorsement–he joined
future-failed-candidates
Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney
and former Virginia
governor Jim Gilmore to
note that the US should be
willing to use tactical
nuclear weapons against
Iranian nuclear facilities.

Hunter the Younger's
suggestion, though, is
moderate when
compared to the recent
proposal proffered by
GOP mega-donor
Sheldon Adelson, who
called for nuking
random spots in the
Iranian desert to scare
Tehran into abandoning
its nuclear program.

(via Defense News)
Joseph Epstein on
Jewish heaven:

"JE: I don’t think the Jews
make such a big thing about
being "chosen" though God
knows in the Bible it says
this. But I think people see
that Jews seem to rise for
their own goofy reasons.
They get big jobs and make
money despite certain things
and they have a certain
cultural eminence. I have
often wondered if I were a
non-Jew I would have the
calmness to find the Jews
magnificent and interesting.
One of the pleasures of
being a Jew, I don’t have to
tell you, it allows you anti-
Semitism. My wife who is
non-Jewish regrets it all the
time that I can say these
terrible things about fellow
Jews and she can’t.

The problem with our
religion is the
excommunication
mechanics are so poor.
[laughs] All these guys that
should be kicked out.

RB: And there is no Hell.

Joseph Epstein JE: Not
only is there no Hell,
though there is
something in the
Singer story,
something about
Gehenna, G-e-h-e-n-
n-a. It’s not so
pleasant there. But
more interesting
there is no Heaven,
which’s clear. If you
look for an after life,
we’re waiting for
this Messiah fellow,
he’s a little later
than Godot.

RB: He’s been delayed.

JE: His train has been
delayed...


I was living in Evanston and I
call my mother and I say,
"Mother, I got a job teaching
at Northwestern." She says,
"Oh that’s nice. A job in the
neighborhood." Absolutely
right, [laughs] all the air
goes out of my tires.

RB: That’s a big
Presbyterian institution.

JE: A very goyesque place. It’
s actually a Methodist school.

RB: I don’t know the
difference.

JE: You don’t carefully
distinguish among goyem.

RB: Presbyterian struck me
as…
Robert Frost once said of
Sandburg, they were
apparently to give a poetry
reading together and
someone said,"Where’s
Carl?" and Frost said, "He’s
upstairs messing up his hair."

JE: The coldest in some
way? I think that’s right.
There was a sociology of
Protestantism that went: A
Methodist is a Baptist with
shoes. A Presbyterian is a
Methodist who has been to
college. An Episcopalian is a
Presbyterian who is living off
his investments. This has all
changed now. Now an
Episcopalian is, I suppose,
someone heading a
campaign against AIDS...


My mother went to a place
called Seymour Paison for
dresses. My mother didn’t
do this, but they served
cocktails, goofy cocktails to
Jewish women. And now you
go there and it’s kids in
cricket sweaters and saris
and it’s so different. You go
to synagogues now and
some guy is playing a guitar.
And it’s just madness to
many of these people. I like
to think of myself as a kind
of chronicler of people
caught in the switch. There
is a lot of it going on, and
they are going to die out
soon.

RB: Well, first of all you
notice it. People don’t seem
to be aware when they are
on some cultural fault line.

JE: [puts on thick round
framed glasses] One of the
stories…

RB: Is this your Dominick
Dunne look?

JE: I am the heterosexual
Truman Capote. Actually I
have been wearing these
round glasses for a while,
and now that son of bitch is
wearing them and I don’t
know what to do. [Reads
from a story called “Moe”]
"Dinosaurs," Lou Levin said.
"Let’s face it, we are a pack
of god dam dinosaurs." Who
invented lesbians, you
know? [laughs] Who asked
for lesbians?

RB: Maybe this is silly, but in
New York perhaps the
characters would not have
been shocked or disoriented
by changing mores and
such.

JE: There are a couple of
things going on. In New York
there might have been more
psychotherapy. Really.
There would be more
politics. My father’s view on
politics, he hated the
Tribune because it was…

RB: Anti-Semitic. Col.
McCormack.

JE: …isolationist and didn’t
want to go into Europe and
stop the killing of the Jews.
But my father’s view of
politics generally was they
are all bull-shitters. It’s a
perfectly sound view, by the
way. He would say, "An
alderman’s job pays twenty
five thousand dollars and a
man spends three hundred
thousand to get. Something
is wrong here." [laughs]
Something’s wrong. And our
idealism was kicked in the
pants very early. It’s very
healthy. Rather than your
parents telling you someday
the workers will unite and
there will be a glorious
sharing and we all be
reading Goethe together…

RB: I think the world is
irretrievably anti-Semitic.

JE: Ah, this is my father’s
view...





From
The Atlantic

...On the other hand, when
my mother died there
seemed to be no point in
putting her into a story. She
was an extraordinary
character, and to write about
her in a straight way was the
right way, it felt to me...
