Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From Rabbi Dr Harvey Belovski, rabbi of Golders Green Synagogue and CEO of University Jewish Chaplaincy:

听

I鈥檝e just returned from a residential training seminar with my university chaplains.听 The university year is starting and we are gearing up to greet our students after the long summer break.

听

Campus life can be complex 鈥� many students are away from home for the first time.听 Intense studies and a great social life might be accompanied by anxiety, vulnerability and the emotional turmoil of exploring adulthood without supervision.听 All chaplains support students, encourage them to enjoy a healthy balance between work and play and where necessary, refer those who need a little more help.听 Jewish chaplains also provide home hospitality and, with regret, also help students on some campuses respond to anti-Jewish hostility.

听

We also equip chaplains to develop their own resilience to ensure that they remain healthy and happy.听 We play together as well as train, with an outing to a trampoline park, an evening with a comedian and an inspirational Sabbath with singing, dancing and excellent whisky.

听A great university chaplain is rather like a student.听 We call this the 鈥榟ooligan gene鈥�.听 It鈥檚 an ancient Jewish idea that we can only relate to others when we鈥檝e been to 鈥榯heir place鈥� 鈥� geographically and metaphorically, but this means that as much as I love them, chaplains can often be challenging to employ!

听

A few months ago, I had the privilege of meeting a member of the royal family.听 He was well briefed.听 鈥業 understand you employ rabbis,鈥� he said, laughing.听 鈥楾hat sounds awful 鈥� a bit like herding cats!鈥櫶� I was tickled by his directness, and replied, 鈥楳ore like nailing jelly to the wall.鈥櫶� It鈥檚 a thought that would have amused the great Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O鈥機onnor 鈥� a godly man with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a much-valued contributor to Pause for Thought 鈥� who sadly passed away a few days ago.

听

Rabbis are difficult to manage, but it鈥檚 tremendous fun, filled with surprises, laughter and learning opportunities for all of us.听 In fact, the early Jewish sage Rabbi Chanina said: 鈥淚 have learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues, but from my students more than from all of them鈥�.听

听

I've gained some really transformational insights from people I've trained. 听And from the ones with the hooligan gene - the jelly I can't nail to the wall - the best ideas of all.
