NAMESAKE
Introduction
My name is Sima Rose Greenfield.
My name is from a history of perseverance.
My name memorializes the struggles, my family endured.
Sima
Sima lived in Poland, when the Holocaust began.
She heard rumors of Jews, who were in the woods.
They emerged from the forest to fight and die;
They emerged to take Jews from walls to freedom;
They emerged to resist intolerant hands of tyranny.
Sima went to the woods with a gun and a glimmer of hope.
She believed humans deserve better than dying emaciated in a cloud of blue smoke.
Rose
Rose was told her family was too rich and too Jewish to be together.
She and her daughter were sent to Siberia her husband and sons to Poland:
Instead of lying down;
Instead of letting them die; she
Instead went to Poland with vodka and a short dress.
Rose told the guards she was a Russian whore,
She sat in Nazi laps as her daughter got her family out.
They cried in each others arms by moonlight.
They snuck through pitch black night to Austria.
They came to Danville, IL.
Rose ran a liquor store.
She never had to hide her Shabbat candles again.
Greenfield
Mikael Grunsfeld was of the huddled masses Lady Liberty lifted her lamp for.
He came to America to escape stick and stones meant to break his bones.
The paper told him, he was Michael Greenfield.
The paper told him he could be American.
The paper told him he was allowed to live.
Michael fought to kill the Nazis that would have killed him.
He almost died to save his fellow Jews lives.
When World War Two ended he became a doctor.
When World War Two ended he welcomed survivors to his home.
When World War Two ended he sang Kaddish for the lost souls.
Michael Greenfield is the American dream,
He was the Jewish American dream.
צְבָא הַהֲגָנָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל: Like every Israeli at the age of eighteen, Corporal Aaron Refael drafted into the IDF. However, Aaron is no ordinary Israeli. Today, he serves in the IDF’s Nahal Infantry Brigade, but the process to get there was not simple.
Aaron comes from a Catholic family, originally from the Philippines, and his father works as a driver in the Japanese Embassy to Israel. He was born and raised in Herzliya and has always considered Israel his home. Aaron grew up learning about the importance of the IDF, and knew from a very young age that he wanted to take part in defending the country. “I saw how everyone serves in the military, and I also wanted to contribute,” said Corp. Refael.
Due to Aaron’s unique situation, he encountered a number of bureaucratic hurdles on the way to reaching his goal. When he was in third grade, Aaron applied for Israeli citizenship but encountered numerous difficulties along the way. Despite these challenges, Aaron exhibited persistence and determination and received a citizenship in 2013.
Eight months ago, Corp. Aaron Refael joined the Nahal Brigade and his dream finally became a reality. He has just completed advanced training and is now prepared to defend Israel’s borders.
Service in the IDF has proven to Corporal Refael how essential the army is for the State of Israel to exist and to thrive. He has learned the importance of maturity and responsibility that is necessary both as a soldier and as a human being.
Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
