The Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires tweeted about the can-

logically generated the solidarity of his teammates.”

The Argentinian team had been pressured since April, when
BDS Argentina promoted a boycott campaign with the motto
“Argentina don’t go” or #ArgentinaNoVayas. In addition, the
Palestinian Football Association urged Argentina to cancel and,
on June 6, demonstrations were held in Barcelona, Spain, where
the Argentinian team is training.

Upon hearing of the cancellation, Israeli Defense Minister
Avigdor Lieberman tweeted, “It’s a shame the soccer team of

defense and bring about the destruction of Israel. We will not yield

Highest-Ranked Jewish Tennis Player

Argentinian Diego Schwartzman, the world’s highest-ranked

Schwartzman, who is ranked 11th in the world, took the first
set off the defending 10-time champion and was leading in the
second set when rain halted play on June 6. Play resumed briefly
before the rain returned, and the match was postponed to the
next day. Nadal then won three consecutive sets to take the
match; he ended up winning the tournament. l

The South Palm Beach County federation started the engage-
ment center in 2014 to encourage unaffiliated Jews to become
involved in the organized Jewish community and to bring
together rabbis from different denominations. They hired Broide,
a modern Orthodox rabbi who had been doing outreach work,
to run the effort. “He is the new face of the Jewish Federation of
South Palm Beach County, committed full time to luring Jews
into communal life,” the Sun Sentinel reported in 2015.

To be sure, the Jewish Federation in Boca Raton is far from
the only — or the first — such organization to actively support
community-wide gatherings. Here in our community, for exam-
ple, annual celebrations of Israel and commemorations of Yom
Hashoah have long been characterized by the variety of Jewish
life in attendance. But getting rabbis together regardless of affili-
ation — as opposed to keeping the Orthodox and non-Orthodox
relatively separate — and then getting them to promote active
involvement by their communities in joint programming seems
to be a particularly novel solution to intercommunity tension.

Jewish communities everywhere will be studying the South
Palm Beach model in the months and years ahead. We take com-
fort in the assessment of Broide, who said, “It’s not so tough.” l

ter, Elsbeth. Through these

while his wife and children did

June struggles to preserve her
own lost dreams and youth and
entertain a burgeoning feminist
ideology in a new era, all the while
learning she cannot compete
with the ghosts of Peter’s past.
Elsbeth strives to become her
own person while acutely sensi-
tive to her parents’ pain, partic-
ularly that of her father, whose
past she learns in bits and pieces.
He is reluctant to talk about it.

It’s a gripping and deeply

of the war and Peter’s past are
too strong sometimes for both

With help from equally
vibrant supporting characters
and subplots, Blum delicately
threads a tale of love and loss
