“A Darkness That Can Be Touched”
We are a long way from Egypt at the time of the Exodus but many of us will, at some point in life, find themselves or someone they care about groping through the darkness of major depression which, at its worst, is a plague of biblical proportion. On the other hand, the journey out of depression is often facilitated by the touch of others. What can we, as a community, do to help open the way out of darkness?
Dr.Kudler trained in Psychiatry at Yale and is Associate Consulting Professor atDuke. From 2000 through 2005, he co-chaired VA’s Special Committee on PTSDwhich reports to Congress. He co-led development of the first jointVA/Department of Defense Guidelines for the Management of Posttraumatic Stressand advised Sesame Street’s Talk Listen Connect series for military families. From2014 to 2018, he served as the chief Mental Health policy officer for the U.S.Department of Veterans Affairs. Having retired in 2018, Dr. Kudler remains onthe Duke faculty and is an advocate for the mental health and wellness ofService Members, Veterans, their families, and communities.

"Being in Community With People You Know Are Wrong"
Pluralism is easy when little is at stake, but how do you remain in community - with fellow synagogue members, family members, citizens - when you know they are wrong? What are the conditions that make possible staying in community? What are the dangers of doing so?

Steve Goldberg: “My Friend Abe” A Holocaust Survivor’s Story
Steve Goldberg: “My Friend Abe” A Holocaust Survivor’s Story

Commemorating International Holocuast Remembrance Day:
Holocaust survivor Abe Piasek shared his story with more than 10,000 people in North Carolina in the final decade of his life. Taken from his family at age 13, Abe survived three years in slave labor camps, as well as a selection at Auschwitz, before he was liberated in 1945. Abe passed away in 2020 at the age of 91, but his story lives on through his friend, veteran high school teacher Steve Goldberg, who tells Abe’s story by weaving video clips of Abe speaking with maps, artifacts and photos that help bring Abe’s story to life.
Steve Goldberg graduated from Duke and also earned a law degree from Georgetown. After teaching high school students about history for 20 years, Steve is taking a break from the classroom so that he can keep Abe’s legacy alive. Steve has shared Abe’s story with more than 2,000 people in the past 16 months.
In April 2019, Steve organized a field trip for Abe and his family to join a dozen high school students to visit the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. As Steve will explain, that trip was inspired by a teacher-turned-lawyer from Chapel Hill named Vivian Connell. Vivian spoke at Beth El in April of 2015 about how, after she was diagnosed with ALS, one of her dying wishes was to bring her students at an alternative school in Chapel Hill to visit the US Holocaust Museum, because she considered it one of the most powerful teaching tools in the world.
As Vivian wrote on her blog, many of her students “have never even left the area, much less the state, but they are fascinated when we teach about the Holocaust. Many of them have also encountered racism and cultural hatred, and a full day at the USHMM would make a permanent positive impact in their lives.”
