La historia del rabino que dirigió un servicio de Iom Kipur en el palacio de Saddam Hussein

El rabino David Goldstrom con su asistente de capellán en Afganistán, el sargento David Teakell, mientras viajaba para visitar al personal militar en otras bases y puestos de avanzada en 2013

Cerca del comienzo de la guerra de Irak en 2003, el rabino David Goldstrom se encontró dirigiendo un servicio de Iom Kipur para unos 50 soldados en uno de los antiguos palacios de Saddam Hussein en Tikrit, Irak.

Los libros de oraciones y los mantones vinieron de su propio suministro. El rollo de la Torá lo donó una sinagoga en Baltimore. Goldstrom dirigió una discusión sobre la lectura del día del Libro de Jonás, que relata la historia de un profeta al que Dios ordenó ir a Nínive – una antigua ciudad en lo que ahora es Irak pero que trata de huir.

“Si alguien es llamado a servir, ¿huir es una opción?” Goldstrom le dijo a JTA, recordando la discusión. “Al hablar con los soldados judíos, siempre quieren ayudar a marcar la diferencia dondequiera que estemos”.

Hoy, Goldstrom, de 55 años, es el jefe de capellanes en Atlanta VA Health Care System. Su carrera militar duró más de tres décadas y lo llevó desde Oriente Medio hasta la mitad del Océano Pacífico, y desde marinero en servicio activo hasta rabino en primera línea. Ahora es capellán de los soldados que regresaron a sus hogares y que, en muchos casos, están librando una nueva batalla para reintegrarse a la vida civil.

“Cuando eres judío y sirves en el ejército, eres un poco diferente”, aseveró. “Y sólo por el medio ambiente estás desconectado de la vida comunitaria judía. Estás en minoría a lo grande. Y para las comunidades judías, apoyar a la gente en el ejército es realmente conectarlas con la comunidad judía”.

Goldstrom creció asistiendo a una sinagoga conservadora en Nueva Jersey, hijo de un sobreviviente del Holocausto que sirvió en el ejército estadounidense en Alemania durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Desinteresado en asistir a la universidad y conseguir un trabajo de escritorio, se unió a la Marina al salir de la escuela secundaria. Sirvió en el Pacífico durante casi una década.

Apenas había infraestructura religiosa para los miembros del servicio judío en Diego García, la pequeña isla del Océano Índico donde estaba destinado a finales de la década de 1980. Antes de Pésaj recibía algo de comida empaquetada – gefilte fish, matzá y bolas de matzá – de la Junta de Bienestar Judío, que apoyaba a los miembros de los servicios judíos. Cuando visitó la capilla de la base para los servicios judíos, fue el único que apareció. Un rabino militar estacionado en las Filipinas que ocasionalmente visitaba a Diego García reclutó a Goldstrom para organizar funciones religiosas judías en la base.

Cuando el rabino que ofició el servicio de Iom Kipur en el palacio de Hussein regresó a la vida civil a mediados de la década de 1990, asistió a la universidad y se convirtió en maestro de escuela pública, lo cual vio como otra forma de servir a su país. Ese interés en la educación, la consejería y el servicio finalmente lo llevó a la yeshiva ortodoxa Ohr Somayach, donde recibió la ordenación rabínica.

En 2001, pocos meses antes de los ataques del 11 de septiembre, Goldstrom regresó a las fuerzas armadas, esta vez como capellán.

Durante los siguientes 13 años sirvió tres giras en Kuwait e Irak y una en Afganistán. Por un lado, el trabajo era como el de un rabino púlpito, organizando servicios y atendiendo las preocupaciones de su rebaño. Por otro lado, era totalmente diferente.

En primer lugar, aconsejaba a los soldados de todas las religiones, no sólo a los judíos. Y tuvo que arreglárselas con lo que podía llevar en lugares sin comunidad judía local. Recuerda a un piloto de helicóptero judío que describía un servicio de Rosh Hashaná que tenía su compañía: sólo había tres o cuatro personas y sin libros de oraciones.

“La iluminación tomó un tiempo, mientras un soldado trabajaba en hacer que una linterna de queroseno se llenara de aceite de oliva para encenderla porque no había queroseno disponible”, escribió Goldstrom para la JTA en 2007, describiendo Jánuca en Irak.

Las apuestas también eran mucho más altas. Goldstrom se ocupaba regularmente de cuestiones literales de vida o muerte. Y a diferencia de los rabinos en su país, tenía pocos colegas a los que acudir en tiempo real si necesitaba su propio apoyo. Además, comentó que encontró consuelo en las oraciones, particularmente en los salmos escritos por el rey David, a quien la Biblia describe como un guerrero que busca la paz.

“Cuando usted es el capellán de una unidad militar y uno de sus soldados es asesinado, está prestando el servicio conmemorativo. Está trabajando con los sobrevivientes en circunstancias difíciles y es posible que no tenga a nadie con quien hablar”, dijo Goldstrom. “Es mucho más raro que un rabino del púlpito tenga a sus feligreses muertos en sus brazos”.

Goldstrom se mudó a su posición actual en el Atlanta VA en 2015. Todavía aconseja a los soldados, pero ahora en lugar de hacer frente a una zona de guerra, están tratando de reajustarse al frente interno. Muchos lo hacen bien, contó. Pero algunos tienen problemas para encontrar un trabajo o un hogar. Está particularmente preocupado por el suicidio entre los veteranos. Según la VA, la tasa de suicidio de los veteranos fue 1,5 veces mayor que la de todos los civiles estadounidenses en 2017.

I noticed that she was fairly young herself. Granted at my age, anyone over 25 was old, but she was probably mid-30s, divorced. If she was a indiction of how Carley would develop, maybe I should wait. Mrs. Spencer had fuller breasts and a nice butt. She appeared to be in great shape for her «advanced» age. I knew she was keeping an eye on me as much as I was on her and her younger daughter. Her eldest, Sharon was away at college at the time. With Mrs. Spencer around we mostly limited ourselves to holding hands and sneaking in a few light kisses. One day Mrs. Spencer caught us by surprise walking in as I’d slid my hand up from Carley’s stomach to rub her right breast through her shirt. She didn’t really need a bra yet, so I could feel her nipple, hard, through her shirt. Just this much contact had me hard also.

  3525. The Vatican Museum: A Journey Through Time and Art

    Nestled within the Vatican City, the Vatican Museums stand as one of the most iconic cultural institutions in the world. With their unparalleled collection of art and history, they offer an extraordinary experience for visitors from all walks of life. Housing over 70,000 works of art, with 20,000 on display, these museums are a testament to humanity’s enduring quest for beauty, knowledge, and spirituality.

    A Brief History

    The origins of the Vatican Museums trace back to 1506 when Pope Julius II acquired a marble statue known as «Laocoon and His Sons.» This masterpiece marked the beginning of what would become one of the most extensive and revered art collections in the world. Over the centuries, successive Popes expanded the collection, commissioning and acquiring works from renowned artists and civilizations spanning millennia.

    Today, the Vatican Museums are a series of interconnected museums and galleries, showcasing art and artifacts from ancient Egypt, classical antiquity, the Renaissance, and beyond. They serve as a bridge between the past and present, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a world of creativity and devotion.

    Highlights of the Vatican Museums

    1. The Sistine Chapel:
    The Sistine Chapel is arguably the crown jewel of the Vatican Museums. Michelangelo’s breathtaking frescoes, including the iconic «The Creation of Adam» and «The Last Judgment,» adorn its ceiling and altar wall. These masterpieces are considered some of the greatest achievements in the history of art, offering a profound spiritual and artistic experience.

    2. Raphael Rooms:
    Commissioned by Pope Julius II, the Raphael Rooms showcase the genius of Renaissance artist Raphael. The «School of Athens,» a depiction of classical philosophers, is a standout piece that exemplifies harmony, perspective, and intellectual depth.

    3. Gallery of Maps:
    A visual feast for cartography enthusiasts, the Gallery of Maps features 40 detailed topographical maps of Italy, meticulously painted by Ignazio Danti in the late 16th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details make this gallery a must-see.

    4. Gregorian Egyptian Museum:
    For those intrigued by ancient civilizations, the Gregorian Egyptian Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Egypt’s history. With mummies, statues, and papyri, it transports visitors to a time of pharaohs and pyramids.

    5. Pinacoteca:
    The Pinacoteca, or picture gallery, houses an impressive collection of paintings from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Works by Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, and Titian are among its treasures.

    Tips for Visiting the Vatican Museums

    Book Tickets in Advance: The Vatican Museums attract millions of visitors annually. To avoid long queues, consider purchasing skip-the-line tickets or guided tour packages online.

    Choose the Right Time: Visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon can help you avoid peak crowds. Wednesday mornings are especially busy due to the Pope’s weekly audience.

    Dress Appropriately: As a religious site, the Vatican has a dress code. Ensure your shoulders and knees are covered to gain entry.

    Take a Guided Tour: To fully appreciate the history and significance of the collections, opt for a guided tour. Expert guides provide insightful commentary, enriching your experience.

    Allocate Sufficient Time: The museums are vast, and exploring them can take several hours. Prioritize your must-see areas and allow time to soak in the ambiance.

    The Cultural Significance of the Vatican Museums

    The Vatican Museums are more than a repository of art; they represent a convergence of faith, culture, and human achievement. They bear witness to the Catholic Church’s role in preserving and fostering artistic expression throughout history. The collections highlight the interplay between spirituality and creativity, offering visitors a profound connection to the divine and the universal human experience.

    Practical Information

    Location: Vatican City, accessible from Rome.

    Opening Hours: Typically open Monday through Saturday, with limited hours on Sundays. Check the official website for holiday schedules.

    Tickets: Standard entry fees vary, with discounts available for students and children.

    Accessibility: The museums are wheelchair accessible, with lifts and pathways designed for visitors with mobility challenges.

    The Vatican Museums are a treasure trove of art, history, and spirituality, offering a transformative journey through humanity’s creative and cultural legacy. Whether you are an art aficionado, a history enthusiast, or a spiritual seeker, the museums promise an unforgettable experience. Plan your visit today to explore one of the world’s greatest cultural landmarks and discover the timeless beauty that lies within its walls.
