Remembering Jewish Rock Promoter 
Barry Fey Z"L

 

Barry Fey Headshot
 

 By Maxwell Rotbart

 

"And Who The $&%^ Are You?"    

 

Those are the words of greeting that legendary rock 'n' roll concert promoter Barry Fey said to me when we first met in November 2011. Mr. Fey had come to the 710 KNUS AM studios - where we tape our weekly business news magazine, Business Unconventional - to talk about rock concerts as an industry and his newly published autobiography, Backstage Past.

 

In addition to my weekly role as co-host of Radio Chavura (airing on KNUS's sister station, 990 KRKS AM), I help produce Business Unconventional, which my father, Dean, co-hosts.

 

When Mr. Fey arrived at our station, I escorted him inside the recording studio, monitored the timing of the interview that my father taped with him, and was constantly running in and out of the production room.

 

When the program ended, members of the station staff came and introduced themselves to the legend who brought Led Zeppelin, U2, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, The Who and Jimi Hendrix, among others, to Denver. 

Barry Fey and Maxwell Rotbart

 

I stood in the back of the radio studio, observing the photo-ops. Then, all of a sudden, Mr. Fey turned straight to me and barked: "And Who The $&%^ Are You?"  It was pure Barry Fey.

 

My father once described Mr. Fey as an "M&M" - hard shell on the outside, but sweet within. The comparison was spot on. Months later, when Mr. Fey joined a group of students from the Denver Academy of Torah High School during our first ever recording session of Radio Chavura, he was endearing. 

 

Mr. Fey, who attended Hebrew school and was Bar Mitzvahed, spoke frankly with the students about his religious beliefs and Jewish upbringing. He also offered many of the students encouragement, in addition to answering their questions about his fabled career as the head of Feyline, his company for 30 years.

 

When he left the studio that second time - April 27, 2012, a year and a day before his passing - I held the door open for him. Mr. Fey bade me a warm farewell and strode down the hall, beaming. He had just created a new generation of fans.

 

Goodbye, Barry Fey.

This Week on Radio Chavura: 

 

Jewish & Widowed: A New Community Group
 

 

A new community-wide initiative, Jewish & Widowed, is the focus of our program this week on Radio Chavura.

 

Jewish & Widowed The group, offering a safe, non-threatening way to begin new friendships, will hold its first event this coming Wednesday, May 8th.  The program is open to Jewish men and women of all ages who have lost a spouse or significant other.

 

Joining us in the 990 KRKS AM studios to discuss the creation of Jewish & Widowed, as well as its goals, are Connie Suson and Lisa Thorner.

 

Connie, programming director at Congregation Rodef Shalom, came up with the concept for a community-supported program to connect Jewish men and women who've lost a spouse or partner.  Connie's own father is a widower.

 

Among those who quickly embraced the concept and shared in its development is Lisa Thorner, programming director at Temple Sinai, who also has a widowed parent.

  

Connie and Lisa
Connie (l) and Lisa

Connie and Lisa stress that Jewish & Widowed is not a dating service, nor is it a forum for a "group cry."  Rather, it's aimed at fostering friendships and fun among individuals who, in time, will direct their own social functions.

  

Our interview with Connie and Lisa will be especially interesting to potential group members; their friends and family; and to other community leaders who will enjoy hearing how Connie, Lisa and others have found common purpose, even though they represent different Jewish congregations, religious affiliations and organizations.

 

Radio Chavura is proud to join these other organizations as co-sponsors of Jewish & Widowed:  Allied Jewish ApartmentsBMH-BJ: The Denver SynagogueB'nai HavurahCongregation Rodef Shalom; Feldman MortuaryHebrew Educational AllianceJFS at the JCCKeshetShalom CaresTemple Emanuel; and Temple Sinai

 

For more information, contact Connie at 303-399-0035.

 

Everyone is welcome to kibbutz, kvel and laugh - just not to kvetch (this is an upbeat group)!

Run, Walk, Schmooze Marks "Rabbi Mo's" 
First Decade at Temple Micah
 
Despite recent snow storms, the sun was shining last month as congregants and friends of Temple Micah gathered to celebrate Rabbi Adam M. Morris's first decade of service at the Reform congregation by participating in a 5K run, walk and talk in Washington Park. About 150 people participated, most wearing bright blue t-shirts that declared their first decade of togetherness with "Rabbi Mo," as he is affectionately known.
Rabbi Adam M. Morris
"Rabbi Mo"
 
 
The run/walk began with the blowing of a shofar and included a celebration picnic.  Rabbi Mo, whose 10-year anniversary will also be feted at a Shabbat Service on Friday, May 17th, has previously lived in Nashville, Charlotte, Atlanta and Adelaide South Australia. On the Temple's website, he writes:  "My diverse set of working and living experiences contribute to the depth of my appreciation and gratitude for the opportunity to live in Colorado and to serve the Temple Micah community."
 
In conjunction with his anniversary, several Temple Micah leaders and members lauded his contributions to their synagogue, including Judy Goldberg, Stephen Dreskin, Sheri Lockhart, Hal Bruno, Mark Grueskin, Louis Wolfe, and Judith Cassel-Mamet.
 
More information about Temple Micah and its events is available from Elaine Lee, membership and communications director, at 303-388-4239, ext. 1.

Free Radicals?  The May "Torah for Tycoons" Lunch and Learn
 
 
Torah for Tycoons
The Denver Community Kollel presented the latest in its regular monthly series of Torah for Tycoons lunches on May 1st.  The topic was "The Responsibility of Those Who Promote Acts of Terror." T4T meets at the East Side Kosher Deli and explores the topic of business ethics.
 
The presenters were David Japha, attorney, and Rabbi Mordechai Fleisher, the Kollel's director of community education. Dr. Neiel Baronberg served as the moderator.
Audio of the lunch and learn series is available from the Kollel here. T4T is made possible by the generosity of the Harry H. Beren Trust.

The Hebrew Educational Alliance On-line Book Club

 

Rabbi Salomon Gruenwald of the Hebrew Educational Alliance notes that the synagogue's on-line only book club has more than 25 members and is welcoming others to join.  This month's selection is Passing Life's Tests by Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson.  The book is subtitled: "Spiritual Reflections on The Trial of Abraham, The Binding of Isaac."

Here is how Goodreads describes the book:

Passing Life's Tests How can we live richer lives through contemplating God's merciless demand, the horror of Abraham's test, the faith of Isaac's participation and see our own opportunity to grow by reliving the encounter? Among stories so terrible they rend our hearts, so profound they touch the depths of our souls, and so exalted they reach to heaven, none is more poignant than the Bible story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son, Isaac. Revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims, turned over and over by great secular thinkers searching for meaning, this gripping tale shocks us into complete attention, then takes us in fourteen short verses on a roller coaster ride of emotion, challenge and hope.


Rabbi Artson is Dean of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles and a close friend and mentor to Rabbi Gruenwald.  To join the club, click here.

Last month on Radio Chavura, we were joined by Temple Emanuel's dynamic director of membership and programming, Susie Sigman.  

 

As the go-to person at Colorado's largest and oldest synagogue, Susie manages a congregation that consists of more than 2,000 Jewish families with diverse backgrounds, levels of observance and interests.

 

 And she does it with professionalism and plenty of ruach (spirit)!

 

Susie works tirelessly to ensure that members of Temple Emanuel feel at home and are part of a meaningful, dynamic community. Susie told us about Temple Emanuel's many religious, educational, and social activities; the synagogue's (quite musical) religious leaders; and the inclusive nature of Reform Judaism.

 

If you think you already know Temple Emanuel, think again!

Rabbinic Plagiarism and Scholarly Integrity by Rabbi Levi Brackman (LeviBrackman.com)  

Rabbi Michael Broyde misrepresented himself in order to gain entry to a rival rabbinic organization, the

Rabbi Brackman
Rabbi Brackman

International Rabbinic Fellowship (of which I am a member). He also used fake names to write letters and comments to bolster ideas he was disseminating. Broyde, like [Rabbi Gilles] Bernheim, was forced to resign from his position as rabbinic judge at the Beth Din of America.

 

Israelis know how to start their morning right. It might possibly be the reason that Israel was ranked 6th by Bloomberg Rankings of the World's healthiest countries in May 2012.

 

A website with the politically incorrect URL of thereligionofpeace.com tracks these things.  According to them, as of May 2, 2013, there have been 20,794 deadly attacks by Islamic terrorists since September 11, 2001.


At its core, anti-Zionism rejects the Jews' fundamental right to self-determination, devalues their national identity, and presumes that they should be treated differently from all other peoples.  Despite attempts to characterize progressive Israel-chiding in neutral political terms, an appropriate word already exists to describe the delegitimization of the Jewish State - and that word is "antisemitism."

We are also appalled that he withdrew from appearing at the Jerusalem Film Festival, something which emboldens extreme Boycott, Sanctions, Divestment (BDS) activists who seek to delegitimize Israel as a first step towards ultimately eliminating Israel.

A top emergency medicine doctor at a Boston hospital where many of the wounded from Monday's bombing attack were being treated credited Israel with training the hospital's first-response team and readying it to deal with mass-casualty incidents.


Surely the Marathon bombing was the work of either the right-wing extremists Janet Napolitano has been warning us about since 2009, or those notoriously violent Catholics and Evangelicals that today's Army equates with Hamas and Hezbollah.
