A Morning of Living History - Special Guest John Pattan
WITH GUEST SPEAKER: JOHN PATTAN
Born in Budapest, Hungary –
Eyewitness to WWII, Antisemitism, and Communism
"I remember the river. I remember the fear. And I remember the silence."
At just 6 years old, John Pattan lived through one of the darkest chapters of European history: Nazi occupation, the Holocaust in Hungary, and the rise of Soviet communism.
Though not Jewish himself, John was a firsthand witness to the brutal persecution of Jews in Budapest, including the murder of innocent people along the Danube River—now memorialized by the haunting sculpture, The Shoes on the Danube Bank.
He and his mother narrowly escaped execution.
Now 87 years old, John joins us to share his personal memories, raw emotions, and hard-won insights about:
Growing up in Budapest under Nazi terror
Witnessing antisemitism and mass killings firsthand
Living under postwar communist oppression
We'll see you on Shabbat.

Mussar: the Middah of Savlanut (Patience)
Please read pages 55 - 62 to understand the character trait of "Patience"
What were the "seeds" that started to erode your patience today?
Think of several good things that happened today. What was your reaction to them in contrast to your moments of challenge?
If you lost your patience today, is this something that you have lost your patience over previously?
If you were on the verge of losing your patience but didn't, what did you employ that worked?
Were you able to use prayer or meditation to suffer through the circumstances?
If you lost your patience today, describe how it happened.
What causes you to lose patience most often?
The best way to define Mussar biblically is the good advice that God gives:
"You be holy, because I am holy"
Holiness doesn't feel intuitive to who we are, but the path of Mussar guides and helps us by giving us a map to the inner real you. Mussar "offers us a body of practices we can employ to transform our inner ways." (Everyday Holiness pg 17)
We will have a wonderful time, connecting to Hashem as we draw closer to Him in the pursuit of holiness.

Mussar Introduction and the Middah of responsibility.
The best way to define Mussar biblically is the good advice that God gives:
"You be holy, because I am holy"
Holiness doesn't feel intuitive to who we are, but the path of Mussar guides and helps us by giving us a map to the inner real you. Mussar "offers us a body of practices we can employ to transform our inner ways." (Everyday Holiness pg 17)
Considering some people in this space might be new to what this is all about, this event is an introduction. Serving to clarify what we are to do daily and weekly to practice our disciplines we are endeavoring to implement.
We will be covering:
1,) Chanting the mantra (hitpa'alut - "being moved") - the banner proverb italicized under each character trait in Part 2 of book Everyday Holiness.
2.) Journaling (Chesbon ha'nefesh - "accounting of the soul") We need to measure the soul's progress. It will encourage you to see your steps to holiness taking root.
3.) Silence and retreat/ meditation (hitbonenut "contemplation"/ hitbodedut "seclusion")
I like to think of this as injecting a taste of the "Sabbath Peace" into every day. Starting small (like 5 minutes) and when one is ready and able, gradually increase that seclusion and meditation time focusing on your inner self and its desired alignment to God.
We will have a wonderful time, connecting to Hashem as we draw closer to Him in the pursuit of holiness.
Please read pages 197-208 to understand the character trait of "Respnsibility" Achrayut prior to this event.
