IRANIAN STREET ERUPTS: AHMADINEJAD INAUGURATION STILL SCHEDULED Department of Homeland Security Announces Grants To Jewish Institutions BY DAVID POLLOCK

The Department of Homeland Security formally informed their state affiliates of the successful Y2009 Nonprofit Security Grant Programs applicants. New York nonprofits did better than last year, winning 31% of the $15 million distributed nationally. Across the state, 68 of 137 applicants were successful. New York State did not yet receive specific grant amounts. ntil the New York State Office of Homeland Security receives confirmation of the specific award amounts it cannot notify the winners and losers of the results. They have an exemplary record of getting the information out quickly. However, it does take some time to verify the list and to prepare accurate notifications. Please try to be patient. We all owe a special debt of gratitude to those dedicated public servants who actually administer the grants and answer our questions, especially Shelley Wahrlich, Steve Tierney and Valerie Bloomer. This program could not be successful without their dedication, patience and expertise.

A Mir Hossein Mousavi supporter covers his bloodied face after a Tehran riots. BY PAULA PINTO

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to be sworn in for a second term sometime between July 26 and August 19, despite the massive objection expressed by many Iranians who claim the voting was manipulated in his favor. he Guardian Council, Iran's election authority, confirmed Ahmadinejad as the winner with 62.63 percent of the vote. His rival, Mir Hossein Moussavi, received 33.75 percent, according to the results. Following Moussavi’s allegations that the election result was fraudulent, and demanding a recount, thousands of demonstrators protested along the Iranian streets demanding that the outcome be reviewed. Yet despite the

popular negative response to Ahmedinajad’s victory, the Guardian Council said there is no possibility of an annulment. However, they admitted that there were some irregularities that took place. Following the election, total mayhem broke out in Iran, which resulted in dozens of protestors killed by Iranian police, hundreds imprisoned, and all media access banned from the country. The few provacative glimpses and descriptions of what has taken place since the election, reveals Iranian people who are desperate for civil liberties, and many believe that their demonstrations will not cease despite the cruel actions which are being taken by the Iranian government. Some of the most gruesome footage showed protestor, Neda Salehi Agha Soltan, 26, who was killed by a government sniper

Ahmadinejad tells US and UK to Stop Interfering By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the United States and Britain on Sunday to stop interfering in the Islamic Republic's internal affairs, the ISNA news agency was cited by Reuters. "Def initely by hasty remarks you will not be placed in the circle of friendship with the Iranian nation. Therefore I advise you to correct your interfering stances," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in a meeting with clerics and scholars. Many Western countries have criticized

the election, which was won by Ahmadinejad according to off icial f igures, and its aftermath. His main opponent, moderate Mir Hossein Mousavi, says the vote was rigged. The government denied the charges. Also Sunday, Iran's Parliament reiterated warnings sounded by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in which he said that leaders of the US, UK, France and Germany must not to interfere in the country's internal affairs, threatening that Iran would respond to such meddling "in other f ields."

Crime Boss, Assi Abutbul, Gets 13 Years in Prison BY DAN IZENBERG The Tel Aviv District Court sentenced crime boss Assi Abutbul to 13 years in prison for heading a criminal organization. Abutbul additionally received a two-year suspended sentence and a NIS 500,000 fine. he court also sentenced Albert Sitbon, an associate of Abutbul, to 11 years in prison.

INDEX

Abutbul's offenses, which included more than 20 counts of extortion and threats against Israeli businessmen and new immigrants from France, constituted a threat "to society and the state," the judges said. The State Attorney's Off ice had demanded a 25-year sentence for Abutbul, saying, "The defendant's name was one of the organizations' tools." Two weeks ago, the Tel Aviv District Court convicted Abutbul and four of his

henchmen of violating the Fight Against Organized Crime Law, which carries particularly stiff punishments. He was also convicted of a long list of violations of the Criminal Law and the Prohibition on Money Laundering Law. Abutbul was originally represented by Attorney Yoram Chacham, who was mysteriously killed by a bomb planted in his car on June 11, 2008. He was eventually replaced by Nir Plesser and Ya'ir Regev.

BY GIL HOFFMAN

Disgraced television entertainer Dudu Topaz and three accomplices were served with a first indictment at the Tel Aviv District Court over a string of violent attacks directed at high-profile media figures who rejected Topaz's ideas for television programs. opaz and his fellow suspects - two security guards allegedly paid tens of thousands of shekels by the entertainer to carry out the attacks, and neighbor Daniel Zanko, who is accused of mediating between Topaz and the attackers - faced a total of seven charges, including aggravated assault, blackmail through threats, and subverting a legal process. During the indictment, State Prosecutor Anat Ben-Ze'ev said Topaz had proven that he was "a major criminal, a dangerous and violent person with no limits, who spent long months meticulously calculating his revenge on the media world, only because he was upset that his stardom was fading." Ben-Ze'ev added that Topaz showed no mercy for his victims. If convicted, Topaz could face a lengthy prison sentence. The indictment sheet detailed how Topaz hired goons to assault Shira Margalit, deputy director-general of the Reshet television network; Avi Nir, director-general of the Keshet network, and acting agent Boaz Ben-Zion. According to the indictment, Topaz paid NIS 8,000 shekels for the assault on Nir.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu received the backing of his ministers and most of the Likud faction regarding his plans for a demilitarized Palestinian state, but will have a harder time obtaining the support of the Likud central committee, party activists said on Tuesday.

Dubu Topaz and his fellow suspects - two security guards allegedly paid tens of thousands of shekels by the entertainer to carry out the attacks. Last November, Nir was confronted by two men near his north Tel Aviv home and severely beaten with clubs. He was rushed to hospital covered in blood, suffering a broken nose, cuts to his face, and broken ribs. Topaz then allegedly paid an additional NIS 5,000 for the attack on Nir. Ben-Ze'ev told the court that Topaz had sent his victims misleading threatening letters in a calculated bid to deflect suspicions that he was behind the attack. After his attack, Nir received a letter

BY REBECCA ANNA STOIL With even coalition MKs vociferously opposing aspects of the draft 2009/10 state budget and the Economic Arrangements Bill, the least the government could hope for was that the opposition would continue its two-day-old boycott and be absent on Thursday as the House Committee prepared the legislation for its second and third readings on the Knesset floor. hat the government got instead was the opposition present in full force, insisting on holding a full debate over each of the 268 clauses of the largest Economic Arrangements Bill in the legislature's history. When opposition whip MK Dalia Itzik (Kadima) revealed that the opposition's latest tactic was the clause-byclause f ilibuster, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said that "if the budget does not pass, we will go to elections." "This is a violent budget," Itzik responded, saying threats of elections were toothless. MK Ruhama Avraham (Kadima) added that the Economic Arrangements Bill was a "monstrous bill" and that there was no chance that the Knesset could f inish discussions in time to cast a f inal vote on the budget within the set timeframe of three weeks. During the debate over dividing pieces of the massive legislation, MK

Yoel Hasson (Kadima) accused coalition chairman - and House Committee chairman MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud) of being a "dictator." Kadima off icials said that Elkin was "trying to gag our mouths and to limit the length of debate on the budget." "This is a democratic institution and we will not allow this to continue," said Hasson. "You must understand this. We were elected to represent our constituency." Elkin responded to the verbal assault by saying, "I am sorry that MKs from the opposition are turning a serious and important discussion into a preschool, and are only dealing with yelling and personal insults instead of managing a relevant debate." Kadima lawmakers said they had discovered that the coalition agreements would cost cost the budget a total of NIS 2 billion, with Hasson saying it was "evidence that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu bought the government in cash." Hours later, Elkin ejected Hasson from the House Committee meeting after he complained that the Finance Ministry's representative in attendance was a low-level off icial and demanded that a higher-level off icial be sent to participate in the debate. But opposition members were not the only MKs to threaten the budget's future in the Knesset.

Iranian Street Erupts: Ahmadinejad Inauguration Proceeds Continued from cover during the pro-democracy rallies. The video clip, which runs approximately 40 seconds, shows Soltan falling to the ground after being shot in the chest. For a second she stares at the men desperately trying to save her life as blood pours out of her chest and mouth. The clip, which has been viewed over 200,000 times on Youtube, provided unfiltered, real-time news on the Iranian situation. Sadly, Soltan’s family was refused the right to bury her properly, and it was demanded that protestors remove posters which portrayed her as a ‘martyr,’ fearing that such images would result in further demonstrations. President Obama recently commented on the situation in Iran, stating that their “faith and traditions” can be accepted while their government adheres to “international norms and principles” regarding violence and the right to peaceful disagreements. Clearly, the protests are the outward expression of underlying problems, which stem from an illegitimate election and the fact that the Iranian government continues to manipulate the Iranian people and they are now refusing to be silenced. Obama also refuted allegations made by the Iranian government that America is instigating protests, as false, while expressing that such accusations "are an obvious attempt to distract people from what is truly taking place within Iran's borders."

Neda Soltan, was shot and killed by a govrnment sniper in Tehran. "This tired strategy of using old tensions to scapegoat other countries won't work anymore in Iran. This is not about the United States and the West; this is about the people of Iran and the future that they, and only they, will choose," Obama said. While it seems that Obama has toughed his position on Iran by calling on its government to stop cruel and unjust methods to punish free speech, Republicans have criticized him for not showing stronger support on behalf of the demonstrators. Iran’s ruling is also attacking Britain. Tuesday, two British diplomats were expelled from Tehran. In retaliation, Britain is expelling two Iranian diplomats. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown told lawmakers that Iran had ordered the two

Iranian police vicously attack protestors who are demanding a review of the election. diplomats to leave the day before its government had accused Britain and other Western nations of criticizing it treatment of Iranians that protested the elections. Other reactions to the current situation in Iran has led several EU Iranian ambassadors to condemn Iran’s response to protestors, including those of Sweden, France and Finland. The Czech presidency of the European Union lodged a similar protest with Iran’s envoy in Prague, according to a

recent report from Voice of America. Russia, on the other hand, has argued that any controversy regarding the election should be an internal affair and settled in compliance with Iran’s constitution and law. After a prolonged period of silence from Mir Mousavi during which Iranian government forces have responded with "increasing ferocity" the presidential challenger is now urging his followers to gather for the "largest March of Sea of Green" later this week.

US Missle Strikes The Core of The Pakistan Taliban BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF Pakistani off icials are trying to determine the death toll from a US missile strike which hit deep inside Taliban territory controlled by militant chief Baitullah Mehsud. rone aircraft, which are only deployed by US forces in the region, hit Taliban positions on Tuesday then pummelled hundreds of militants who had gathered for a funeral, with 17 confirmed dead in the strikes in tribal South Waziristan. But with the mountainous area on the Afghan border are beyond reach of the government forces, therefore the death toll is still unclear and subjected to rise. The f irst strike by an unmanned drone aircraft killed six militants in Shubi Khel, approximately 40 miles north of the main district town of Wana. As mourners gathered for funeral prayers, another drone f ired three more missiles into the crowd, off icials said. Security and intelligence off icials in the area said that 11 suspected militants were killed in the second strike, but said that the number of deaths could rise, with some senior Taliban commanders reported killed. An intelligence off icial in Dera Ismail Khan district bordering South Waziristan said they were relying on the number of people killed from

Pakistani officials struggled to determine the death toll from a US missile strike which hit deep inside Taliban territory. others who were able to flee the area. As of know, it has been reported that more that ofrty militants were killed in the attacks and dozens were injured. Pakistan's security forces are conf iguring a full-scale onslaught against Mehsud in the northwest tribal belt, where Washington alleges Al-Qaeda and Taliban rebels are holed up, plotting attacks on Western targets.

"Shubi Khel is a very remote area controlled by the Taliban. It is a stronghold and a base of Baitullah," said a security off icial based in the northwest capital of Peshawar who reported the current situation to AFP. At a government-run hospital in Miranshah in North Waziristan, doctor Ikram Alam said they were treating those injured from the attacks.

Pakistan publicly opposes the US strikes, saying they violate its territorial sovereignty and deepen resentment among the populace. Since August 2008, about 43 such strikes have killed at least 410 people. The United States military does not, as a rule, conf irm drone attacks, but its armed forces and the Central Intelligence Agency operating in Afghanistan are the only forces that deploy unmanned drones in the region. Washington alleges Al-Qaeda and Taliban rebels who fled Afghanistan after the 2001 US-led invasion are hidding in South Waziristan. In the meantime, Pakistani troops are preparing a battle to dislodge Taliban insurgents from three northwest districts, and the military has said it will open up a second front in the tribal regions to track down Mehsud. A senior US defence off icial said earlier this month that any operation in South Waziristan would work best with "pressure on both sides of the border." About 90,000 foreign troops, most of them from the United States, are currently deployed in Afghanistan to battle an insurgency by the Taliban, which was ordered from government by the 2001 US-led invasion.

The Challenge: How to Balance Security with Access BY JACOB BERKMAN A few days after last week’s shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, the interim director of the Kansas City Jewish Community Center had to reassure the parent of an incoming preschool student that she would do everything possible to make sure the woman’s child would be safe at a Jewish school. he said she is freaked out by the news,” the director, Jill Maidhoff, told JTA. For some Americans working at Jewish institutions, the Washington shooting -- on the heels of a foiled bombing plot at two New York synagogues and the shooting at a Connecticut bookstore near Wesleyan College by an assailant claiming to have targeted Jews has underscored the wisdom of the Jewish community’s nearly decade-long effort, since the 9/11 attacks, to keep its institutions more secure. For many, the question isn’t necessarily what more can be done in terms of security, but how to balance security needs with the imperative to make Jewish institutions open and inviting. “It is a constant effort to strike between appearing to be a very permeable building and a safe building,” Maidhoff said. The Hillel chapter at the University of Wisconsin at Madison was faced with the same challenge when it designed a new

“S

building, which is expected to open soon. Unlike Jewish institutions that have roadblocks and physical barriers that make the entrance look like an Israeli Embassy, the Wisconsin Hillel opted for security cameras and doors that could be locked quickly and turned into entranceways that require permission to enter, executive director Greg Steinberger said. Hillel was in constant dialogue with its contractors throughout the building process about how to create an open yet secure space. “On a college campus you want to be open and limit barriers, but you need to be prepared for when you need those barriers,” Steinberger said. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, millions of dollars much of it from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security -- have been spent to upgrade security at Jewish schools, synagogues, museums, camps, JCCs and other institutions. Now, many institutional officials say, they are doing the maximum possible to protect their clients. In 2004, the Secure Community Network was created to help with security and train employees at Jewish institutions on how to keep their places of work safe and their eyes open for abnormal activity. Institutions have developed emergency plans in the event of an attack. Security cameras have been installed, and some buildings have erected concrete barriers and hired armed guards. The day after the Washington shooting on June 10, the Secure Community Network -an initiative of the Jewish Federations of

North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations held an online seminar on security for more than 300 synagogues and Jewish institutions. “My message has been that we have to remain vigilant forever,” said the network’s executive director, Paul Goldenberg. But, he added, “That does not mean building walls around our communities or fences around our communities and our children.” Bullet holes in the entrance to the United States At the 12 camps run by the Union for Reform Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington Judaism, security has meant after the shooting. fences.

Community Must Shoulder Tuition Responsibility BY MAXINE DOVERE

Rabbi Elie Abadie, spiritual leader of the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue, and a widely recognized voice in the New York Jewish community, has a special sensitivity to the politics of educational funding and policy making. Together with other religious leaders, including former Archbishop Edward Cardinal Egan, he has actively lobbied Albany to secure financial assistance for parochial/private schools for funding that would cover the costs of teaching “secular” subjects. hen asked to discuss his thoughts concerning the challenge of making Jewish/yeshiva education available to all children in the Jewish community, and as a rabbi whose voice may be considered a determent of “policy making” regarding community responsibility for assistance in paying tuitions, the rabbi acknowledged that “the question of planning for tuition payment affects the life style approach of many families -the choice of using the yeshiva system may even reflect how many children a family has if it wants to remain within the community. “There’s no question that the crisis exists everywhere – including Manhattan - where tuitions are even higher than in Brooklyn and other yeshiva centered communities. Yet, there is a great reluctance to let the

Rabbi Elie Abadie, spiritual leader of the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue. problem be publicly visible, the crisis does exist. With a base tuition of close to $29,000 annually at, for example, the Ramaz School, a family of four is facing tuition costs of well over a $100,000 dollars.” “It’s a pervasive problem, even in upper middle class families, one made even more diff icult given the down turn in the economy.” The question of general community responsibility for “everyone’s” children needs to be addressed. Asked about the responsibility of synagogues without schools to organize efforts to assist

families/schools directly, Rabbi Abadie spoke of mashehit kidsusshim , one of the f ive responsibilities a father has toward his child. “If the father is not able to fulf ill that obligation, the responsibility goes to the bet dein, representing communal responsibility - the community has the obligation to educate their members and the children of their members.” Abadi continued, saying “We have reached a situation in which families cannot longer afford tuition’ therefore, the community as a whole must step in. Whether to build, to maintain, or to provide teachers, the community has the obligation to provide tuition relief or f inancial assistance.” Asked about the possibility of an “education tax” aimed at provided direct subsidies to school s or reducing tuition load on parents, Abadie remarked that parents who elect to send their children to private or parochial schools get no benef it from state or federal taxes. Rabbi Abadie, who has worked with teach NYS and worked with former Cardinal Edward Egan and an involved group of lay leaders, lobbied then Governor George Pataki and the state legislature to try to get education tax relief. The effort remains an uphill battle. “I remain In favor of a creative, legal way to obtain funding from the state while maintaining the yeshiva environment. It is a must that we maintain our children in the yeshiva

environment and not have them go to public schools. It would be a great risk for assimilation. Perhaps it would be possible for the legislature to stablish a budget for funding secular subjects. A yeshiva can separate its two budgets. The state should have the responsibility of paying for secular studies. The state should allocate the same amount paid for each public school student and provide that amount to each parochial or yeshiva day school student….We are asking the state only for what is rightfully “ours”. Clearly, secular studies meet state requirements. “By right,” says the rabbi, “parents who send children to private or parochial school deserve some relief. Tuition tax credits or vouchers would give direct support to schools. The community is relieving the burden on the public school system and should have some manner of legal relief. Turning to the responsibility of the community, Rabbi Abadie suggested the creation of an educational fund. Noting that elsewhere, especially South America and Europe, Jewish communities have “what is known as aricha - the concept comes from the Hebrew erekha - the Torah concept of the value of a person. “It is” explained the rabbi, “a sort of ‘poll tax’ concept. In Jewish communities throughout the world there

Sheephead Bay Ceremony Honors Young Winners of Holocaust Memorial Art, Essay & Poetry Contest BY OSWALY HEYMANN Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz, a second generation Holocaust survivor, presented awards to the top prize winners of the Ninth Annual Holocaust Memorial Art, Essay and Poetry contest during the Holocaust Memorial Committee’s annual memorial ceremony in Sheepshead Bay’s Holocaust Memorial Park, Sunday. he contest attracted over 600 entries from throughout southern Brooklyn and included submissions from elementary, middle and high schools. Public schools and parochial schools, as well as yeshivot, were represented among the winners as is indicated by the diverse ethnicities of the entrants and winners. “One of the most important reasons for sponsoring this contest is to make sure that the lessons to be learned from the Holocaust are disseminated to everyone,” Assemblyman Cymbrowitz explained. “That’s why I am happy that so many different ethnicities, cultures and religions were represented by the hundreds of entries we received.” “The Holocaust is history and unfortunately, there is nothing anyone can do to alter any of the atrocities that occurred. We can however, use the Holocaust experience to vividly demonstrate the dangers of discrimination, hatred and prejudice,” Cymbrowitz continued. “Students need to learn through history lessons, as well as seeing adults modeling the appropriate behavior, that it’s important to include rather than

exclude, and to view the differences between one another as something to explore and celebrate, not condemn or be prejudiced against.” In addition to the awards, each winner or group of winners received a cash prize and the schools of the f irst place winners will get a computer. The winning artwork, including paintings, drawings, sculptures and three dimensional models, were displayed throughout Holocaust Memorial Park during the ceremony, along with the winning essays, poems and scrapbooks. “Joining the contest with the annual Holocaust Gathering bridges the generation gap, bringing additional young people into the proceedings that are dominated by mature adults,” Assemblyman Cymbrowitz stated. “As time moves on there are fewer Holocaust survivors to share their tales f irsthand. Even the vivid recollections of personal experiences told to secondgeneration Holocaust survivors, by parents and grandparents, begin to fade as the years go by. It is important that we illuminate the past as a way to enlighten our future generations. There are many lessons to be learned from the Holocaust. We must be creative in our approaches to passing this important information on to our young people. My Art, Essay and Poetry Contest is one way of involving today’s young people with the lessons of the Holocaust,” Cymbrowitz said. In addition to sponsoring the Holocaust Art, Essay & Poetry Contest, Assemblyman Cymbrowitz speaks regularly to school assemblies and commu-

He was also the sponsor of an Assembly Resolution proclaiming April 21st as Holocaust Remembrance Day in New York State. “I think that we should be proud of

our young people. Looking at the work that was submitted to the contest, we can see that this community is blessed with bright, talented young people who really grasp the lessons to be learned from the Holocaust and can share that knowledge with others,” Cymbrowitz commented. The contest, sponsored by Assemblyman Cymbrowitz, the Lena Cymbrowitz Foundation and the Holocaust Memorial Committee was designed to increase our children’s understanding of the Holocaust and encourage further education about the tragic event. “This contest not only serves as a living memorial to Holocaust survivors, but it gives our young people an opportunity to reflect on the Holocaust and to deepen their understanding as to how its lessons impact their lives today, over sixty years later. We want our young people – Jewish and non-Jewish – to understand that the hatred that fueled the Holocaust unfortunately didn’t end with the liberation of the concentration camps, but exists, in various forms, to this day.” Assemblyman Cymbrowitz reminded the students that, “Winning in this contest is less important than remembering the Holocaust and helping to perpetuate the lessons that can be learned from it.” In addition to cash prizes for the winners, each entrant will receive a New York State Assembly Certif icate of Merit from Assemblyman Cymbrowitz.

WAR ON TERROR â€œJustice, justice shall you pursueâ€? (Deutoronomy 16:20)

North Korea Threatens Harm to America if it is Attacked BY JPOST North Korea boasted of being a "proud nuclear power" and threatened to harm the United States. if attacked. Tensions are mounting over a possible crackdown on exports of suspected missile parts from the North. resident Barack Obama said the US is ready to cope with "any contingencies" involving North Korea and vowed not to "reward belligerence and provocation." South Korea's YTN news network reported Sunday that a US Navy destroyer tailing a North Korean ship suspected of carrying missiles and related parts was headed toward Myanmar in what could be the f irst test of new UN sanctions against the North over its recent nuclear test. The sanctions - punishment for an underground nuclear test North Korea conducted May 25 - f irm up an earlier arms embargo against North Korea and authorize ship searches in an attempt to thwart the regime's nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions. On Monday, North Korea's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper called it "nonsense" to say the country is a threat to the US, and instead claimed Washington was the one threatening the North. The paper also warned in a commentary that the country is prepared to strike back if attacked. "As long as our country has become a proud nuclear power, the US should take a correct look at whom it is dealing with," the editorial said. "It would be a grave mistake for the US to think it can remain unhurt if it ignites the fuse of war on the Korean peninsula."

US President Barack Obama reaffirmed the US commitment to defend South Korea. The North Korean newspaper also denounced Obama's recent pledge to defend and protect South Korea - even vowing to keep Seoul "under the US nuclear umbrella" - as an attempt to attack North with atomic bombs. Obama made the pledge in a joint statement after a summit last week with the president of South Korea Lee Myung-bak. North Korea calls its nuclear program a deterrent against the US, which Pyongyang routinely accuses of plotting to topple the communist regime. The US, which has 28,500 troops in South Korea, has said it has no such intentions, and has no nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula. Obama said the US is prepared for any North Korean provocation, including the regime's reported threat to testlaunch a long-range missile toward

Hawaii. Japanese media have reported that the North Koreans appear to be preparing for a long-range test planned sometime around July 4, the Independence Day holiday. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered additional protections for Hawaii as a precaution. "This administration - and our military - is fully prepared for any contingencies," Obama said Friday during an interview with CBS News' "The Early Show" to be broadcast Monday. "I don't want to speculate on hypotheticals," Obama said. "But I want ... to give assurances to the American people that the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted in terms of what might happen." A North Korean cargo ship, the Kang Nam, is expected to travel to

Myanmar via Singapore, YTN said, citing an unidentif ied intelligence source in South Korea. Myanmar's military government, which faces an arms embargo from the United States and the European Union, reportedly has bought weapons from the North in the past. Two US off icials said Thursday that the US military had begun tracking the ship, which left a North Korean port on Wednesday. One off icial said it's not entirely clear what the Kang Nam was carrying but that it had been involved in weapons proliferation in the past. A senior US military off icial told The Associated Press on Friday that a Navy ship, the USS John S. McCain, is relatively close to the North Korean vessel but had no orders to intercept it under the Security Council resolution and had not requested that authority. The off icial spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. The US ship, a guided missile destroyer, is named after the grandfather and father of former US presidential candidate Sen. John McCain. Both were admirals. According to McCain, the United States must board the Kang Nam even without permission from Pyongyang if hard evidence shows it is violating UN resolutions by carrying missiles or forbidden other cargo. "I think we should board it. It's going to contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to rogue nations that pose a direct threat to the United States," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Obama Warns, North Korea Poses a 'Grave Threat' BY STEPHEN COLLINSON US President Barack Obama warned nuclear North Korea was a "grave threat" and said he would not tolerate the Stalinist state's provocative strategy of extracting rewards with belligerent behavior. bama signaled an airtight alliance with visiting South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak, after weeks of tensions sparked by North Korea's test of a nuclear device and expectations that another detonation could be on the way. "North Korea has abandoned its own commitments and violated international law," Obama said, alongside Lee during his f irst appearance in the White House Rose Garden with a foreign leader. "Its nuclear and ballistic missile programs pose a grave threat to (the)

peace and security of Asia and to the world." Obama offered Kim Jong-Il's reclusive state a way back to "full integration" to the global community through talks, but only if it verif iably dismantled its nuclear programs and warned of stern consequences if it did not. "There's been a pattern in the past where North Korea behaves in a belligerent fashion, and if it waits long enough is then rewarded with foodstuffs and fuel and concessionary loans and a whole range of benef its," he said. "The message we're sending and when I say 'we,' not simply the United States and the Republic of Korea, but I think the international community is we are going to break that pattern." Obama also vowed to defend South Korea and said Washington planned "serious enforcement" of sanctions

It said it had invited the trio to set out their grievances on Saturday, with a decision on Sunday about any possible recount in the June 12 election, which returned hardline incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power. Mousavi himself joined the crowds, most of whom were dressed in black as a mark of mourning for demonstrators killed in clashes during the protests, which have been banned by the authorities, witnesses said. The crowds began to quietly disperse after about f ive hours, the witnesses said, and there were no reports of any incidents. State radio has reported seven deaths since the protests started. Foreign journalists have been barred from attending all rallies or other events without express authority. The protesters carried pictures of Mousavi and placards bearing slogans such as "We have not had people killed

They have arrested protesters and prominent reformists, tightened their grip on the media and lashed out at "meddling" by foreign foes, including the United States. Besides the seven reported deaths, many more people have been wounded in the worst violence for at least a decade, with protests reported in provincial cities as well as Tehran.

Warning they would crush any "velvet revolution," the authorities have rounded up scores of people, including prominent reformists and even former government off icials. In the latest sweep, Iran on Wednesday arrested Ebrahim Yazdi and Mohammad Tavasoli, veteran revolutionaries and leaders of Iran's Liberation Movement, the Etemad Melli newspaper reported. And state television reported that a plot with "extensive ties" to unnamed foreign interests had been uncovered to carry out bombings in Tehran on election day. In a sign of cracks emerging within the Iranian elite, a number of influential clerics have spoken out about the election results and the subsequent crackdowns. Ayatollah Mehdi Hadavi Tehrani called on Thursday for Interior Minister Sadeq Mahouli to be impeached. The combative Ahmadinejad who set Iran on a collision course with the West during his f irst four-year term has remained def iant, saying his victory showed faith in his government of "honesty and service to the people."

Farkash: Street Protests Beginning of End for Iran but could lead to a compromise under which he would receive a senior position in the government. Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned Wednesday against trying to predict the outcome of the demonstrations in Teheran. No matter who the president was, the regime was still run by the ayatollahs, he said.

"What matters is the position of the [Supreme] Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenai], and this has not changed," Dagan said. "The riots take place only in Teheran and one more region, they won't last for long." Farkash disagreed and said that while it was difficult to accurately predict what would happen, the regime in Iran would never be the same. The demonstrators, he said, were protesting a number of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's policies but mainly the deteriorating economic situation. "There is no way this can be reversed,"

Former Military Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Aharon Ze'evi Farkash. Farkash told The Jerusalem Post. "There is now an unprecedented rift in the elite that has directed the Islamic regime since the revolution in 1979." Farkash said there were rumors that the demonstrations and political instability were actually being orchestrated by Khamenai, who wanted to ensure that his son Mojtaba succeeded him as supreme leader. He said it was unlikely that the partial recount of the presidential vote would lead to a declaration that reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi was the winner,

"We should not confuse ourselves," Barak said. "Mousavi would not have been elected an Israeli member of Knesset or as governor of Maryland. These are religious radicals and there is no doubt that what we are seeing on the streets is real energy within young people who do not want what they see [around them]."

In Endorsing Two States, Netanyahu Adopts Popular Jewish Position BY ERIC FINGERHUT In accepting the notion of a demilitarized Palestinian state, Benjamin Netanyahu in his speech Sunday adopted what is essentially the position of a large swath of Israelis and American Jewish groups. his week, Israelis and many Jewish groups on the left and right were applauding the Israeli prime minister for his stance. Netanyahu’s comments on Palestinian statehood also pleased the White House, with President Obama calling the speech “positive movement.” With concerns running high about an escalating diplomatic rift between Washington and Jerusalem, some Jewish organizational leaders expressed hope that Netanyahu’s shift would reduce tensions between Israel and the United States over Jewish settlements in the West Bank. “The anxiety level is down for now,” Anti-Defamation League national director Abraham Foxman said. But a number of left-wing groups said that while Netanyahu's acceptance of two states was a significant moment, they were disappointed by his failure to alter his position on Jewish settlement growth. And on the right, some categorized Netanyahu’s speech as a concession. In what was billed as a major policy address, Netanyahu said at Bar-Ilan University that he would support a

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the first time endorsed a Palestinian state, but with conditions. Palestinian state as long as the state was demilitarized and the Palestinians recognized Israel as a Jewish state. He also called for immediate negotiations with the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world without preconditions. Netanyahu went further in a conference call Monday with members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, using the catch phrase “two states for two peoples” and saying it was possible to have effective security arrangements to accompany a Palestinian state. "There were a lot of conditions,” Obama said Monday to reporters, “and obviously working through the conditions on Israel's side for security, as well as the Palestinian

Clinton, Lieberman Still at Odds Over Settlements BY JTA Hillary Rodham Clinton and Avigdor Lieberman reiterated their countries' disagreement over settlements.

linton, the U.S. Secretary of State said, however, that a number of "critical concerns" will be explored in upcoming talks with special U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell. Speaking to reporters after the two met in Washington, the Israeli foreign minister said that "natural growth" of settlements "must" continue. "We don't have any intention to change the demographic balance in Judea and Samaria," Lieberman said, using Israel's terms for the West Bank. But "every place around the world, babies are born and people get married. We can't accept this vision about absolutely, completely freezing settlements." "We want to see a stop in settlements," said Clinton, who has said in the past that "natural growth" is included in a settlement freeze. "We think that is an important and essential part of pursuing the efforts leading to a comprehensive peace agreeement." Clinton also indicated, however, that there was more discussion on the issue to come. "We believe that this process that Senator Mitchell is quarterbacking for us

has just begun," she said. "There are a number of critical concerns that will be explored in the coming weeks as Senator Mitchell engages more deeply in the specifics of where Israelis and Palestinians are willing to go together." Reuters has reported that Israeli and Western officials are discussing with the Obama administration whether projects already under way in a settlement, or cases in which money spent on a project cannot be reimbursed, could continue. In the meeting with reporters, the two top diplomats also disagreed about the validity of understandings that Israel says it reached with the Bush administration to allow some natural growth in certain settlements. While Lieberman said Israel wanted to "keep" those understandings intact, Clinton said there were "no informal or oral enforceable agreements" on the issue, and "that has been verified by the official record of the Bush administration and personnel in positions of responsiblity." She also noted a recent Washington Post op-ed by Dan Kurtzer, the U.S. ambassador to Israel at the time, stating that "no such understanding" was ever reached on settlements, as reflecting the administration's position. Kurtzer also was a supporter of and surrogate for Barack Obama in the Jewish community during the presidential campaign.

side for sovereignty and territorial integrity and the capacity to have a functioning, prosperous state, that's exactly what negotiations are supposed to be about. But what we're seeing is at least the possibility that we can restart serious talks." Jewish groups across the spectrum, including the major Orthodox, Conservative and Reform organizations, praised Netanyahu’s new position, as did the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Netanyahu "effectively challenged proponents of a Palestinian state to understand that Israel will not only accept, but even assist in, the creation of a Palestinian state so long as doing so does not and cannot threaten the physical security and Jewish integrity of Israel," the Orthodox Union said in a statement. J Street executive director Jeremy BenAmi said that seeing the head of the “most center-right government in history” recognize a two-state solution was “a momentous development” and “an important sea change.” In Israel, 71 percent of those interviewed in a Ha’aretz-Dialog poll said Netanuyahu said the right things in his speech. There is general agreement in the American Jewish community that a Palestinian state should not be permitted to have a military. The principle is part of the Geneva Initiative, an unofficial peace proposal put forth in 2003 by Israeli and Palestinian politicians and promoted since by a host of left-wing groups. The key issue is how to balance demilita-

rization with the need for a Palestinian police force to have weapons to keep domestic order, Ben-Ami said, and that will have to be worked out in negotiations. Ori Nir, the spokesman for Americans for Peace Now, said Netanyahu’s endorsement of the idea of a Palestinian state was significant, but not enough. “I didn't see any give on his part” on settlements, Nir said. Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, which lobbies for a two-state solution to the conflict, said Netanyahu's demand that Palestinians first recognize Israel as a Jewish state is an unnecessary stumbling block. “Jews don't need someone else to define our state,” said Diane Balser, the organization's executive director. “We've defined it as a Jewish state.” But Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Presidents Conference, called it a fundamental principle and said no peace agreement can be truly successful if “your partner doesn't accept you.” “They have to overcome this Rubicon,” Hoenlein said. In an indication that some on the right saw in Netanyahu’s speech a negative development rather than a positive one, the Zionist Organization of America condemned the address as concessionary. “Israel has made yet another one-sided concession by publicly accepting a Palestinian state, with qualified exceptions, and received nothing in return for this major concession,” ZOA president Morton Klein

Question Hold Up Atlantic Yards Project Coney Island Development Clears Major Rezoning Hurdle BY RICH CALDER

Controversy arose as Bruce Ratner introduced the revision plans for his Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn. Last week Friday, off icials from Empire State Development Corp. met privately with local legislators to discuss the scaled-down plans for the $4 billion project. Some who attended the “hushed” session said to be furious with the agency for claiming the revisions are minor, when they feel the project has completely changed from the original one state approved three years ago by state officials.

BY PAUL BUBNY The rezoning of Coney Island cleared the next-to-last hurdle in the public review process as it gained the City Planning Commission approval Wednesday. Next in the process, which began in January, is a vote by the City Council, which must occur within 50 days after the CPC vote. ommission Chair Amanda Burden said on Wednesday that the plan to create a 27-acre amusement and entertainment district incorporates recommendations that arose during meetings with the local community board and Borough President Marty Markowitz. Revisions to the plan "strengthen the ground-floor requirements for traditional amusement uses--such as arcades, games of chance and rides--to maintain Coney Island’s one-of-a-kind amusement character in the Coney East amusement and entertainment district," Burden said Wednesday. Burden added, "We’ve also reduced the height limits for building streetwalls along Surf Avenue in Coney East to ensure direct visibility to the amusement park and boardwalk upon arrival in Coney Island." She said other modif ications will encourage "extraordinary design" as well as the integration of Coney Island’s historic icons in the future development. In a statement, Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the plan approved Wednesday "ends decades of specula-

Their idea of an ideal solution would be for the developer to start from square one and resubmit the plans for another full public review, process which could take years. Creating major problems for a cash-strapped Ratner, who seems to be scrambling to break ground on the plan's centerpiece, an NBA arena, by the end of the year to secure crucial tax-exempt financing and salvage the entire 22-acre project. This after he recently replaced star architect Frank Gehry in an attempt to reduce arena costs from $950 million to $800 million. Critics worry that Ratner is no longer committed to building 2,500 units of affordable housing. Instead of taking all of the private land still needed for the development via eminent domain in one shot, under the new plan, ratner would initially only secure enough property for the

Atlantic Yards. NBA arena and one residential tower, sources said. ESDC officials at the session said they expect Ratner to break ground on the arena by the end of the year and the first tower six months later, but there is no timeline in the new plan for when the remaining 15 residential and office towers would be built. ESDC spokesman Warner Johnston said the revisions don't require a new application process because the "key facets of the project will remain unchanged," such as the affordable housing component and the arena still calling for 18,000 seats. He also said that eminent domain is being broken up into phases not because certain parts of plan won't be built but because this will allows Ratner to "defer acquisitions costs" associated with a controversial deal to buy a rail yard from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority needed for the project. Ratner, is also expecting a huge break directly from the MTA on this deal. The MTA is planning to

The New Rachel and Jeff Sutton Campus: Bringing Joy to the Lives of Special Children and Their Families Continued from cover showers each year; a dining room; a music room; a special multisensory snoezelen room and more. It is only through the generosity of the Sutton and Chehebar families that so many toddlers, children, teenagers and their families can benefit from after school, legal holiday, summer camps and other programs. Children’s special needs never take a break – and neither does the Special Children Center. The center is on call 24/7, 365 days a year. Parent Doris Elkharrat expressed it best: “I never, ever, get a ‘no’ when I call. Just knowing that when I need help, there is help, is such a relief.” Thirteen years ago, three high-school seniors dreamed a dream: afternoons would no longer be a lonely time for special children. They would have a place to go, a place to swim, a place to run, a place to play ball, experiment with art materials and most of all, a place to belong. The Center providies a place where all their friends face the same special challenges, one full of love, laughter and joy. It is an environment where accomplishments are shared and children learn the joy of success one small step at a time. A

As one mother expressed “The Center didn’t just change my life, it gave me back my life”. The Center is not a school, it is, in fact, the only place in the country that offers comprehensive programs and care for times that there is “no school.” We understand the structure and high level of care needed for special children and how very difficult it is to provide that in a home setting. A typical day in the Center begins at 2:30, when children arrive by bus for the after-school program. They enjoy a fun afternoon of play, art, gym, music,

therapy, and are provided with a delicious kosher dinner, bathed and brought home in pajamas, ready for bed. Should parents not be able to have their child home at 6:30 pm, the child will be accommodated at Center House. Center House is a miracle in its own right, who would ever think that there would be such a place, a house in a beautiful neighborhood that is a “Home away from Home” for special children. Every night, several children stay overnight at the Center House, under the

loving care and supervision of staff, volunteers and nurses. The Center House is open all week, and Shabbat is the absolute highlight of the week where a group of up to 23 can enjoy a spectacular weekend, complete with delicious meals, singing, warmth and fun. The Center House is available 24/7 for families who need extended hours, days, or weeks. In the event of a medical emergency in the family, the birth of a new baby, family vacations or for parents who simply need a break, Center

Children enjoy activities hand tailored to their individual needs and create lifelong friendships. Sunday is often a hard day for parents of special needs children. Once again the Center is there to accomodate families. Children are picked up from their homes at 11:00 for a day of fun activities, friendship, and laughter with loads of love to go around! For some, summer may be a time for vacation, but not for the staff at the Center. Dozens of children participate in a program that really goes all out for special kids. The camp, inaugurated ten

Finance Overhaul Deemed 'Essential,' Geithner Says BY AFP Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner defended the US administration's vast regulatory overhaul plan as "essential" in averting or containing future financial crises. eithner appeared in Congress a day after President Barack Obama unveiled the wideranging program to reform financial market rules in the most sweeping overhaul since the 1930s. The plan has already drawn fire for being too ambitious, but others have argued the plan does not go far enough in streamlining regulations and protecting against unsound financial practices. But Geithner said the brutal financial meltdown should lead to action now to avoid the same type of crisis in the future. "Every financial crisis of the last generation has sparked some effort at reform. But past efforts have begun too late, after the will to act has subsided," he told the Senate Banking Committee. "We cannot let that happen this time. We may disagree about the details, and we will have to work through those issues. But ordinary Americans have suffered too much; trust in our financial system has been too shaken; our economy has been brought too close to the brink for us to let this moment pass." Geithner said the administration consulted with lawmakers, regulators, consumer advocates, business leaders, academics and the broader public before drafting its plan. "We considered a full range of options and decided that now is the time to pursue the essential reforms, those that address the core causes of the current crisis; and that will help to prevent or contain future crises," he said in a prepared statement. "Let me be clear, our plan does not address every problem in our financial system. That is not our intent. It does not propose reforms that, while desirable, would not move us towards achieving those core objectives and creating a more stable system." The reforms, which require approval by Congress, will inject the government deeper into the finance sector in a bid to tame the recklessness that saw a mortgage meltdown tip the world into deep economic crisis. They are the latest attempt by the Obama administration to heal the US economy and ensure it never again pitches into such turmoil.

US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner testifies before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee on Capitol Hill. The regulatory reforms join a massive array of housing, banking, mortgage and credit card reforms, a 787-billion-dollar stimulus package and managed auto firm bankruptcies adopted by Obama since taking office in January. In a speech at the White House on Wednesday, Obama blamed a "culture of irresponsibility," a Great Depression-era regulatory system, reckless executive compensation, excessive debt and markets awash in new and risky financial products for sparking the crisis. "An absence of oversight engendered systematic, and systemic, abuse," Obama said. The proposals would give the Federal Reserve expanded powers to oversee regulation on all finance firms or banks that pose a significant systemic risk to the wider financial infrastructure. They would introduce new discipline and transparency into financial markets and would enable investors to better ride out the failure of one or more large financial institution. The reforms will include the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency to shield Americans from the extremes of credit, savings and mortgage markets. The Office of Thrift Supervision one of several federal bank regulators would be abolished under the reform proposals. Some Obama critics, hoping for a top-tobottom reconstruction of the tainted financial system, complained the overhaul did not go far enough, while others said it would require too much government intervention in the economy.

Global Agenda: The Future of International Markets BY PINCHAS LANDAU For most people, talk of markets and especially of the future of markets means the direction of prices in those markets. That is only one way of relating to markets, and isn't the one used by the people who administer or regulate the markets themselves. h o s e we r e p r e c i s e ly t h e k i n d s o f p e o p l e wh o g a t h e r e d i n Te l Av i v l a s t we e k f o r t h e International Organization of Securities Commissions annual c o n f e r e n c e .

Market people are those who create the systems and manage the operational framework. On the basis of that foundation, and on the strict assumption that the systems will work, the traders who engage in buying and selling (referred to by academics as "the price-discovery mechanism") can do their stuff. After all that, all the rest of us get to speak of the market going up or down and express opinions as to whether it will rise or fall tomorrow, next week or next year. As recently as one year ago, mentioning all this would have been silly: the financial equivalent of noting that drinking a cup of coffee is predicated on pouring water from the tap into the kettle and, subsequently, having recourse to a facility where undesirable substances can be washed away by flushing. Plumbing, in other words, was taken for granted in the financial world, as it is in the physical one. Indeed, most traders and even the managers of large pension funds and investment houses had virtually no idea how the financial "plumbing" worked. The twin areas of settlement systems and payment systems - without which neither money, stocks nor any other financial instrument could change ownership, location or form - were as arcane to most of the people in the securities business as the workings of an internal-combustion engine or a laptop computer. The only thing that mattered was that when you switched them on they worked. That naive innocence is now lost, along

Trading takes place on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. with so much else of the pre-crash era. All the "master of the universe" traders and brilliant fund managers now realize that there is something much more fundamental than picking the right stock or picking the right moment to buy or sell it: namely, the ability to trade at all, to complete the transaction in whatever is deemed the "normal" procedure and time frame for that market.If you like, what has changed is the realization that the critical thing about a cup of coffee is the certainty that the when you open the tap, water will flow - potable water, at reasonable pressure. Compared to that, the specific aroma of the coffee, the blend of beans from which it was ground, or even whether the growers are being exploited by Western agribusinesses, is really very small, er, beer, as the British say. There were people who warned that the greatest danger was not of a "crash" in the sense of sharply falling prices, but of the markets simply seizing up and ceasing to function - so that there would be no prices at all. Prof. Niall Ferguson, in a brilliant lecture to an internal Merrill Lynch (RIP) forum back in 2005, explained how the "first age of globalization" ended in 1914 not in a slump a la 1929 but in the markets closing completely between August and

December. His warnings, needless to say, were in vain: indeed, in the case of Merrill Lynch, "deaf ears" would be a very generous description to use. That is why one of the main themes of last week's conference was almost overt self-congratulation by the participants. They were applauding not the sad fact that prices went down but the happy one that

despite the unprecedented volatility and uncertainty gripping the financial world in the wake of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the near-collapse of AIG, virtually all regulated securities markets remained open throughout. Ester Levanon, CEO of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, was one of several speakers to relive the extraordinary pressures of those dramatic days and weeks in September-October and to emphasize the unavoidable conclusion: In a word, regulated exchanges remained open and functioned well, while unregulated or over-the-counter trading systems collapsed. It is therefore clear that one of the direct results of the financial crisis of August 2007 to March 2009 - even if there are no further slumps in prices will be the extension of regulation and oversight to markets that previously relied on "self-regulation" (that term itself has become a kind of sick joke). Markets that cannot be brought under the remit of a regulatory agency - if they survive at all - will be pushed into a regulatory "outer darkness," and those who insist in using them will be looked upon askance, as either fools or criminals. Perhaps that's not nice and perhaps it's not even justified in every case, but in the new era of "better safe than sorry," of preferring over-regulation to "lighttouch" regulation, and of stringent application of many rules rather than the negligent application of few, that is how the game will be played.

Keep It Kosher: Not Just What’s On Your Plate Food shapes us and our culture. For 4000 years observance of kosher has been a hallmark of Jewish identity. Even the simple activity of eating is a G-d sanctioned and uniquely Jewish experience. Kosher means simply "fit" foods that are appropriate for consumption by a Jew who observes the dietary laws given to the Children of Israel in the Sinai desert. Outlined in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, the laws of kashrut are furthermore detailed in the Mishnah and Talmud. Additional rabbinical authorities have commented and embellished through the centuries. o you keep kosher?

Once upon a time, keeping kosher simply meant making sure meat and fowl were properly schected (kosher killed), and that meat and dairy were kept separate. With a couple of sets of dishes, silverware, and pots and pans - and, no tref (biblically forbidden) foods of course – “keeping kosher” was fairly simple. How many of us grew up with silverware “planted” in household flowerpots? In my mother’s house, a utensil unintended used for the “wrong” type of food, would spend days in the ground. I remember the childhood wonderment about what sort of blossom a fork might produce! In the last several decades, Kashrut and its regulation has changed dramatically. No longer is it suff icient to simply separate the obviously fleshing (meat) items from that which is clearly Milkhich (dairy). The complexity of food preparation means every ingredient must be considered and examined to prevent deviation from the “kosher straight and narrow.” A body of food science more exact and scrutinized than virtually any other has evolved Has this increased awareness served to unify or divide the Jewish community? Does a product need to carry multiple “earmarks” from more than one respected certif ication agency? What difference is there between the requirements of a national verses local agency? These and other questions were put to the director and off icers of the OK Laboratories, an internationally recognized provider of kashrut supervision. Asked what having a local rabbi’s certif icate is necessary when a national symbol is present, Rabbi Levy noted that the local symbol is a “sort of homage” to the local rabbi. “Most people,” said Rabbi Chiam Fogelman, the OK Laboratories Director of Communications, “don’t know what it takes to get a product certif ied as ‘Kosher.’” The food industry has grown tremendously, both in size and complexity. Kosher certif ication requires a specialist who understands food production to correctly be able to certify a product. “One needs much experience to work

with modern food technologies. You must have expertise from both the halachic and practical viewpoints. Founded by chemist Abraham Goldstein, the “OK Labs” initially certif ied 15 facilities. Goldstein’s successor, Rabbi Bernard Levy, became Director in 1956. Today the agency is administered by his son, Rabbi Don Yoel Levy and certif ies over 300,000 products in more than 3000 facilities. All food ingredients must be tractable. As a certifying agency, the OK is testifying and bearing witness. This fusing of secular tools with religious requirements presents a unique challenge. “There are three ingredient types; inherently kosher, inherently non- kosher, and ingredients that are certif ied kosher according to the protocol given in the Torah. It’s Important to track items from the origin, including knowing how raw ingredients have been handled. Every product has a “kosher passport, one that must be kept up to date. Offering the example of simple yogurt, the rabbis listed was far from simple. First, there’re the cows, then the milk, the bacteria, the collection process every aspect must be watched. Bread and cakes have additional special requirements. Some require that flour must be “yeshum,” sifted through f ine mesh, and stored in a designated manner. Rabbi Hanoka described some of the very specif ic demands. One major kosher baker stores flour in a series of underground silos “it’s Brooklyn, after all, not Iowa! Kashrut certif ication is complicated. Its proper execution requires a network of mashgihim (inspectors) to watch product from point of origin to packaging, even to point of serving. The OK has 350 inspectors in place throughout the world. They must have training in food engineering, extensive industrial knowledge, and a thorough background in Jewish legal r e q u i r e m e n t s . They need not, however, be rabbis. They can be men or women. Asked how kashrut can function to unify the different traditions of the Jewish people and create a greater connection throughout the overall Jewish community, the rabbis pointed out that while there may be cultural differences (for example, Sephardic tradition allows rice during the Passover holiday, Ashkenazi does not) there are signif icant Interactions among Jews of different cultures and a strong baseline unity. As in every situation where religion, business and even a bit of politics intermingle, conflicts can occur. A certifying agency must be able to be relied upon by the public, and must guard its actions. The public respect it engenders in turn gives the agency certain powers and responsibility to make claims or issue statements extremely carefully. Vindictiveness or personal feelings must never overcome fact. Cautioned

Solving The Tuition Problem TO: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, THE JEWISH VOICE

tance of this. Is it a bigger mitzvah to give money to institutions outside our community than in our own?

FROM: GABE DIDIA

STEP 3: The Rabbis of our community must do more to encourage everyone to pitch in to fund the tuition solution. This means more speaking from the pulpit with fervor and passion on the subject in the same way that they have promoted and advocated for a multitude of other causes. The Rabbis should call for people to donate 50% of their Maaser money to the Yeshiva Bank. Also, all pet projects by individual Rabbis that rely on the community for funding should be put on hold. All the Rabbis must put politics, ego, and self -interest aside for the good of the entire community.

The yeshiva tuition problem is the most serious problem facing our community today. No other issue, whether it is drugs, divorce, or housing directly affects as many families as tuition. The stress it is placing on families is causing debt problems, marital problems, limitation of family size, and, saddest of all, ever larger numbers of our children to attend public school. Indeed, once tuition is solved, many other problems would never come into being. Unfortunately, the leaders and Rabbis of our community have not recognized the urgency of dealing with this issue. It is inconceivable that in our community there is always money to build new buildings, open new Torah Centers, fund new organizations, and donate all over the world-- but nothing to help with the tuition crisis. Recently, there was a public meeting held in Rasputin to inform the district of plans to open a charter school in the community. We all know that this project was undertaken by concerned individuals to address the crushing financial burden yeshiva tuition is causing on families. The large turnout by members of our community shows the level of interest this has aroused. Although this is the only real and concrete effort made thus far that has a chance of succeeding in the near future, the Sephardic Rabbinical Council has come out against this project and finally decided the tuition problem now merits attention and calls for a solution. It appears that, at the outset, we already are sowing seeds of disagreement. What can we do? The tuition mess has been growing over a long period of time so it is unrealistic to expect that it can be solved in the short span of a year or two. But, if we begin now and there is a coordinated and cooperative effort by everyone in the community, results will be forthcoming. Here is a plan that can be put into action immediately. STEP 1: We must create a tax-exempt entity that we will call, for lack of a better term, the Yeshiva Bank. This Bank will accept initially and on an ongoing basis funding, donations, and all money that will go toward subsidizing yeshiva tuition. It will operate in the same way that a university endowment does to cover education costs. STEP 2: All the synagogues in the community must put a stop to the unending collections by the army of collectors that take place on a daily basis in every synagogue and every minyan. These collections take out of our community no less than two million dollars a year that should be used to benefit the entire community. Instead, these daily contributions by people in synagogue should be placed in a box, so labeled in every minyan, for the sole purpose of funding yeshiva tuition. The Rabbis of every synagogue must get behind this effort and impress upon their congregations the impor-

STEP 4: The Yeshivas themselves are partly responsible for the tuition crisis. They have not operated following sound business practices as evidenced by the fact that tuition increases have outstripped the rises in cost of living and inflation and economies of scale have never been realized. Operating costs keep rising and must be brought under control. All of our yeshivas must be encouraged to pool and share some resources to limit redundancy. For example, remedial programs that realistically are needed by only a small percentage of the student body at any one school can be shared. Other programs not filling a need for the whole student body can be eliminated and parents be required to pay on an “as needed” basis. There is no reason why everyone’s tuition bill should have a component to maintain services and departments that are needed by only a fraction of the students. Hence, to be eligible to receive help from the Yeshiva Bank, a yeshiva will have to make its budget available for examination and review by a qualified board of overseers in the same way that businesses are subject to oversight by their banks. STEP 5: There are many Rabbis and Kollel students in our community who do not work and whose living expenses are paid by community organizations. They can contribute to lowering yeshiva costs by teaching in the yeshivas of our community in whatever capacity is needed. Lest anyone think this is disrespectful to them, it should be remembered that our earlier rabbis did exactly that: Rabbi David Shamah, Rabbi Ezra Mishanieh, Rabbi Abraham Hecht, Rabbi Joseph Tawil, Rabbi Shaul Kassin , Rabbi Raphael Elnadav and Rabbi Baruch BenHaim. There is no doubt that any parent would prefer to send a child to one of our yeshivas rather than a charter school. But, family finances play a role in that decision. Words and promises will not have an effect unless concrete demonstrable steps are taken. Nothing has been done to solve the tuition problem in the past. We must do it now!

The Jewish Voice OP/ED PAGE 21 MSNBC’s Deafening Silence on Patrick Buchanan’s Holocaust Denial Forum JUNE 26, 2009

BY MENACHEM Z. ROSENSAFT More than six weeks ago, I outed Patrick Buchanan, the former senior White House official in the Nixon and Reagan administrations, erstwhile candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, and now a highly paid political commentator on MSNBC, for sponsoring a Holocaust denial forum on his website. ithin hours of this disclosure in a New York Daily News article, the forum in question, entitled “Disinformation, Deception and Other Tricks: Discussion about 'The Holocaust'" (with The Holocaust in quotes, of course), mysteriously vanished from Buchanan.org, and the link to it was disabled. The Buchanan website’s forum followed the standard Holocaust deniers’ playbook, complete with such gems as “Most historians believe it was LOGISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GAS 6 MILLION JEWS AND

REDUCE THEIR BODIES TO ASHES;” “We have known for some time that the Auschwitz myth is of an exclusively Jewish origin;” “The same blinded people that believe that the Germans intentionally killed Jews - also believe the myth of the Anne Frank Diary;" and “Rightly or wrongly - the Jew was blamed for a lot of the problems that Germany suffered. The Jews were given years of warnings that they were unwelcome in Germany . A lot of Jews fled Germany in the late 1930s. The United States was not very anxious to accept very many. This was when White Christians still had a little control of our Nation.” One might have expected the disclosure of this forum to at least raise some eyebrows at MSNBC. After all, two years ago the news channel summarily fired talk show host Don Imus for making a racially insensitive remark about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team. Sponsoring a Holocaust denial forum on one’s website strikes me as no less offensive. But not a single MSNBC executive has deigned to publicly address Buchanan’s association with anti-Semites, White supremacists and other assorted bigots.

Since Buchanan’s Holocaust denial forum became public, he has appeared repeatedly on at least three MSNBC programs: Morning Joe, Hardball with Chris Matthews, and Andrea Mitchell Reports. Neither Joe Scarborough nor Mika Brzezinski, the co-hosts of Morning Joe, asked Buchanan to explain why he provided a platform for Holocaust deniers. Chris Matthews did not ask Buchanan whether he approved of or agreed with the Holocaust denying screeds that were posted on Buchanan.org. Andrea Mitchell did not ask Buchanan how and why the Holocaust denial forum was so suddenly removed from his website. Matthews would never have remained silent in the face of slurs directed at Irish-Americans, or Scarborough at Southern conservative Christians, or Brzezinski at Polish Catholics, or Mitchell at women. Holocaust denial by definition is toxic, and Buchanan's MSNBC colleagues have an obligation to confront him on their shows with the vitriol he allowed to be disseminated under his auspices. MSNBC’s audiences for the most part have no idea that Buchanan is not just another affable, well-spoken if arch-conservative pundit.

They do not know that he has compared John Demjanjuk, the Nazi guard at the death camps of Sobibor and Majdanek who was recently deported from the United States to stand trial in Germany, to Jesus Christ. They do not know that he wrote in his March 17, 1990, syndicated column that Jews could not have been murdered in the gas chambers of Treblinka, and dismissed the Holocaust survivors’ experiences derisively as “group fantasies of martyrdom and heroics.” They do not know that Buchanan has referred to Capitol Hill as “Israeli-occupied territory” and called Israel “a strategic albatross draped around the neck of the United States.” They do not know that he told the Christian Coalition in 1993 that “Our culture is superior... because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free.” They do not know that Buchanan has actively lobbied on behalf of Nazi war criminals like Demjanjuk, Karl Linnas and Arthur Rudolph. They do not know that he called for the abolishment of the U.S. Justice

Obama's Losing Streak and Israel BY CAROLINE GLICK Prime Minister B i n y a m i n Netanyahu's speech Sunday evening at Bar-Ilan University had one goal: To get US President Barack Obama off of Israel's back. etanyahu's speech was an eloquent, rational and at times impassioned defense of Israel. For Israeli ears, after years of former prime minister Ehud Olmert's and former foreign minister Tzipi Livni's continuous assaults on Israeli rights, and their strident defenses of capitulation to the Palestinians and the Syrians, Netanyahu's address was a breath of fresh air. But it is hard to see how it could have possibly had any lasting impact on Obama or his advisers. To be moved by rational argument, a person has to be open to rational discourse. And what we have witnessed over the past week with the Obama administration's reactions to both North Korea's nuclear brinksmanship and Iran's sham elections is that its foreign policy is not informed by rationality but by the president's morally relative, postmodern ideology. In this anti-intellectual and anti-rational climate, Netanyahu's speech has little chance of making a lasting impact on the White House. If rational thought was the basis for the administration's policymaking on foreign affairs, North Korea's decisions to test long range ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, send two US citizens to long prison terms and then threaten nuclear war should have made the administration reconsider its current policy of seeking the approval and assistance of North Korea's primary enabler China - for any action it takes against Pyongyang. As Nicholas Eberstadt suggested in Friday's Wall Street Journal, rather than spending its time passing UN Security Council resolutions with no enforcement mechanisms against North Korea, the administration would be working with a coali-

tion of the willing to adopt measures conflict and the conditions that must be aimed at lowering the threat North met if peace is ever to be achieved. His Korea constitutes to regional, US and address aimed in two ways to lower US global security through its nuclear and pressure while averting an open conballistic missile programs and its prolif- frontation with a president whose approval ratings remain above 60 pereration activities. But the administration has done no cent. First, Netanyahu demonstrated such thing. Instead of working with and that through their consistent rejection of strengthening its allies, it has opted to Israel's right to exist as the Jewish state, work with North Korea's allies China the Palestinians - not us - are the side and Russia to forge a Security Council responsible for the absence of Middle resolution harsh enough to convince East peace. Second, Netanyahu tried to decrease North Korean leader Kim Jung Il to threaten nuclear war, but too weak to US pressure on his government by conditionally accepting the idea of a degrade his capacity to wage one. Similar to Obama's refusal to Palestinian state. Clearly, it was Netanyahu's acceptreassess his failed ance of the idea of a policy regarding Palestinian state North Korea, his albeit a demilitanonreaction to the one - that was fraudulent Iranian “The only way to ensure rized supposed to do the election shows that he will not allow that a Palestinian state is most to fend off US facts to interfere demilitarized is to send in pressure.

Far from standing with the democratic dissidents now risking their Obama administration, Netanyahu's lives to oppose Iran's sham democracy, speech was a positive contribution to the administration has reportedly the general discourse on the Middle expressed concern that the current post- East and Israel's place in it. He made election protests will destabilize the good use of his opportunity to address regime. Obama has also refused to the nation above the heads of the unireconsider his decision to reach a grand formly leftist media to forge a new defbargain with the ayatollahs on Iran's inition of the national consensus. nuclear weapons program that would Whereas his defeatist predecessors conserve to legitimize their continued grip sistently spoke of the people's willingness to make painful concessions for on power.

He echoed the sentiments of the vast nuclear-armed America - makes clear that he is not interested in forging a fac- majority of Israelis when he refused to tually accurate or morally clear-sighted end building inside of Jewish communities located beyond the 1949 armistice foreign policy. ALL OF THIS brings us back to lines; when he asserted that he would Israel - and Netanyahu's speech about make no concessions on sovereignty the nature and causes of the Palestinian over Jerusalem; would insist that we

retain defensible borders; would refuse entrance of so-called Palestinian refugees to our territory; and demanded Palestinian recognition of our right to exist as the Jewish state. He stridently and eloquently corrected Obama's false characterization of this country as the product of the Holocaust during his speeches at Cairo and Buchenwald by recalling the 3,500 year old Jewish ties to the Land of Israel. And he made clear that the association Obama made between the Holocaust and this country's founding was a precise inversion of the historical record. It is not Israel that owes its existence to the Holocaust. Rather, the Holocaust was only able to happen because there was no Israel. NETANYAHU'S SPEECH was a much-needed strong defense. But it was not a perfect defense. It suffered from two flaws that may come back to haunt the premier in the years to come. First, his demand that the US lead the international community in guaranteeing that the Palestinian state is demilitarized provided the Obama administration with a new means to trick Israel into making suicidal concessions. The only way to ensure that a Palestinian state is demilitarized is to send in forces to demilitarize it. Obviously the Americans won't take such a step. In Gaza, a militarized Palestinian state already exists and the Americans have no intention of demilitarizing it for us. As for Judea and Samaria, today, the only thing the emerging Palestinian state has to show for itself is its US-built army. The only force that would ensure a Palestinian state (or states) stays demilitarized is the IDF. But by appointing the US the guarantor of its demilitarized status, Netanyahu is inviting the US to lie and so make it impossible for us to take the steps necessary to ensure that the Palestinians lack the means to threaten the country. In requesting that the US guarantee disarmament, Netanyahu repeated a

Although Holocaust Survivor Claire Friedlander Has Passed On, What She Stood For, Survives… And Continues BY DANNY FRANK “Even though their ranks are thinning as they age and pass away, never underestimate the power and influence of Holocaust survivors,” explains Peter Klein, President of The Claire Friedlander Family Foundation (www.cffamilyfoundation.org) be based in (Huntington, New York). “These people experienced an extraordinary level of suffering, evil, and inhumanity,” Mr. Klein continued. “To that degree, they possess the fortitude to carry on and tell their story.”

Here Comes the Sun! Tel Aviv Beach Lands in Central Park BY MAXINE DOVERE It had been raining, even pouring, for days. The prediction for Sunday's weather was no different: rain, rain and by afternoon, thunder storms and heavy rain. How sad: it seemed the beach might be a bust.

s the sun worked its way to almost full shine, this repor ter approached Israel’s Consul for Media and Public Aff airs D av i d S a r a n g a a n d, p o i n t i n g skyward, asked “David, do you have a special connection?” “A p r iva t e line!” answered Saranga, the vibrant spirit behind the transfor mation of 1300 square feet of the Naumberg Bandshell into a beach reminiscent of Tel Aviv. The sun shone, the air was warm and pleasant, and the party was hearty indeed! Children of every age enjoyed the sand, played beach games, tossed colorful beach balls, and amused themselves with games of shes besh. Families filled the “beach.” Just in front, several thousand enthusiastic fans rocked with the energy of an Israeli rock concert. Israeli radio personality Hadar Marks, reggae band Hatikva 6 and Israeli rock band Flow lifted the proverbial roof. The Consulate of Israel brought New Yorkers “a geological phenomenal of epic proportions” creating an, albeit artificial, bit of Tel Aviv beach in New York’s Central Park. The event was part of the celebration of the Tel Aviv centennial. “To understand Tel Aviv, you need to experience its sun, beaches, and vibrant music scene,” says David Saranga. “The thousands of diverse New Yorkers that flock to Central Park each weekend give it the feel of a Tel Aviv beach. We're just adding the sand and music to make the image complete.” The Tel Aviv Beach Party was a joint venture of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Consulate General of Israel in New York, Israel Ministry of Tourism, Israel Government Tourist Office in New York, and the Tel Aviv-Yafo Centennial Administration.

Heart and SoulAt Sanhedria Childrenâ€™s Home, Jerusalem BY MIRIAM BRAUN Some weeks back I waited at the entrance of our 'home' to welcome the volunteers who were coming to play basketball with the kids. This sports program is a year-long one and every Monday night four dedicated students at the prestigious Yeshiva Eretz Hatzvi would trek over to give the children a fun-filled evening. he Sanhedria Children's Home was established in 1943 as an orphanage for child survivors of the Shoah. Originally opened in the Sanhedria neighborhood of Jerusalem, the building was bombed during the War of Independence and the facility relocated to Katamon, our present address. Today, Sanhedria is a rehabilitation center for children at-risk referred by the High Court of Justice for Juveniles. Exposed from birth to their parents problems of drug abuse, imprisonment, mental and emotional disorders, the children suffered severe physical and emotional abuse and neglect in their own homes before Social Services intervened. Sanhedria is these children's ticket to a life better than the one they were born into. Under the supervision of the Ministry of Welfare, the home provides for the children's physical, emotional and spiritual welfare in a safe and loving haven. Specifically catering to the special needs of the fervently religious communities the home ensures that these 6-15 year old boys will not fall through the cracks because their parents would not agree to have them placed in a co-ed facility. They live here in pseudo family units with surrogate parents who are integrally involved in every facet of their

lives. Whether taking the kids to the dentist or the pediatrician, helping with homework and going to PTA meetings, the foster couples, together with Sanhedria's dedicated professional and therapeutic staff (please refer to website for details) provide the children with a sense of security and feelings of love and belonging. On this particular night, I wanted to personally greet and thank the volunteers for the outstanding job they had been doing throughout the year. A couple of the children approached me, asking what I was doing there at night. Before responding, I asked why they had come out and they explained that they were expecting their volunteers to show up. I told them that that I was there to thank their special friends for being dedicated and reliable. 'Who wants to wait with me?' I asked. Two sweet boys, one nine years old, the other eleven, offered to keep me company. At this time, Chaim, the younger of the two had been with us for only several months. I took the opportunity to inquire what he likes at Sanhedria. 'I love the volunteers' he told me. 'I also love when the 'girl' volunteers (seminary students) visit'. 'I love swimming' he continued enthusiastically and as he is going over the list of his favorite things at the home, he counted on his fingers. #4, he went on 'I really like our carpentry classes.' 'And #5, 'Arye' (our social worker). His friend interjected and instructed him 'you have to say you like Miriam' so Chaim, added, '#6 â€“ I love Miriam'! His buddy corrected him, 'no, Miriam has to be #1!' And so Chaim began counting all over again, "#1, I really-really love Miriam and then he continued with his list. â€Ś my heart went thump. I have been emotionally and otherwise

Sanhedria pearls and their special friends from Yeshivat Eretz Hatzvi. involved with the children and home for the past six years. The tremendous appreciation that these kids have does not cease to overwhelm me. They know where they come from and they know where they are now. One child told me that he loves Sanhedria because 'at Sanhedria he gets to go to school' and when I come home from school he continued 'there's food to eat and someone to talk to'. They are a very lovable bunch who were deprived of their basic needs in their own homes. It is a privilege to be a part of their orbit, to love them and to receive their affec-

tion. By empowering them and ensuring that they get every possible assistance available to cope with their horrendous circumstances, we give them a gift they will have for life. This envelops the children with a sense of calmness enabling them to develop into functioning young adults who are well integrated into society and who have the courage and skills to be the best they can be. To find out how you can make a difference in the children's lives, please log onto www.sanhedria.co.il

Special Car seats for Preemies and Low Birth Weight Infants BY MICHELLE TSAI Babies born prior to 37 weeks gestation are considered pre-term, and those that weigh less than 5.5 lbs. at birth are considered to be low birth weight infants. As survival rates of these tiny passengers improve, and more of them are being discharged from hospitals earlier, many are now being transported in the family car. hoosing an appropriate child restraint for transporting these infants and making sure they’re safe during travel requires special consideration. These babies are particularly prone to conditions such as apnea (suspension of breathing), bradycardia (slow heart rate), oxygen desaturation (low oxygen levels in the blood) and hypotonia (low muscle tone). A recent report in the May issue of Pediatrics provides additional advice and guidance for safely traveling with them. When considering a seat appropriate for your tiny newborn, consider the following: • Most rear-facing car safety seats are designed by the manufacturer to be used by infants weighing more than 4 or 5 lbs., with some that specify “from birth,” regardless of weight. Care should be taken to choose a restraint that can accommodate a baby’s lower weight, but also has suff icient adjustability in the harness and crotch straps to f it smaller infants securely. Look for car seats that have a shorter distance between the crotch strap and seat back, and that have harness slots low enough that the straps can be placed at or below the shoulders of the infant when seated. If needed, a small rolled towel can be added between the crotch strap and the infant, as well as between the infant and the sides of the seat to reduce the risk of the infant sliding forward under or out of the harness (see image at top right). Safe Ride News Publications released a report titled Car Seats with Best Fit for Preemies and Small Newborns, which summarizes the better options for f itting a low birth weight or premature infant into a traditional car seat, as well as options for obtaining a car bed from various manufacturers.

FDA: Stop Using Three Zicam Cold Remedies BY GINGER SKINNER The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to use three Zicam intranasal products that contain zinc, after receiving 130 reports of anosmia and the loss of sense of smell. he three over-the-counter products— Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size (a discontinued product)—are widely sold in pharmacies, retail stores, and online. The products claim to reduce the duration of the common cold and the severity of cold symptoms. The agency sent a warning letter to the maker of Zicam, Matrixx Initiatives, advising the f irm that these products cannot be marketed without FDA approval and stating that the products do not include adequate warnings about the risk of loss of sense of smell. We've previously reported on the risky side effects of zinc-based nasal products, such as loss of smell and impaired sense of smell, taste, or both. In 2007, more than 300 consumers sued Matrixx Initiatives claiming loss of smell. As a general rule, our experts advise that you not use homeopathic products, since there’s not enough evidence to justify using them and these products have not been suff iciently reviewed by

Traditionally, rear-facing infant carriers should be reclined to about a 45-degree angle to help prevent an infant’s head from falling forward. them safe in and out of the car: • Though it is common for hospitals to observe the child’s breathing and muscle tone prior to discharge from the hospital, it is recommended that these observation periods be as long as 90 to 120 minutes to simulate travel times that will potentially be of that length, and that those observations be conducted in the child’s own seat and in a position that will be used in the car. • The duration of time infants should be seated in a car safety seat should be minimized. Use car seats only for travel. • Babies who are prone to respiratory or other medical issues in the car seat may also be susceptible to those same conditions when in their swings, ‘bouncy’ seats, and carriers. Use of these items should be limited until after the child has been shown to be stable when semi-reclined. • If the child is required to travel with additional equipment such as monitors or supplemental oxygen, care should be taken to wedge or secure those devices in the vehicle to eliminate them becoming a “projectile” in a crash or during hard braking.

the FDA. If you have purchased any of the three Zicam products, the FDA urges that you not use them, and either throw them away or return the products to the retailer. And if you or your child has experienced loss of sense of smell or other problems after using any zinccontaining nasal products, contact your doctor and report it to the FDA’s Medwatch program.

The New Rachel and Jeff Sutton Campus:...Continued from page 16 years ago, is staffed by professional special education teachers. Accommodates are available for a full range of handicaps, including Down’s Syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy, among others. In addition to providing the necessary care and resources, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, the Center provides fun-filled days with appropriate activities, crafts, sports and trips. As noted care is available 24/7, year round, not just during summer vacation. Parents and siblings deserve family time during mid-winter vacation throughout the year. The Max Harari Disneyworld Trip lets special children enjoy a fully supervised trip

to Disneyworld during midwinter break, allowing parents quality vacation time with siblings. The Center services over 100 children a week. It has no food budget because of the generousity of local restaurants and kind families who take it upon themselves to provide the children with fresh, nourishing kosher dinners every day, free of charge. Imagine how many meatballs are rolled and how much chicken is prepared by people in the community. And there is always a fresh salad to go along! The devoted staff at the Center says “Don’t thank us”. We owe the greatest thanks

to those who enable us to continue our work. People like Richie B. Dweck, Jennifer and Elliot Tawil, Harry Adjmi, Rachel and Jeff Sutton, Marilyn and Jack Chehebar, Gabe Chehebar, Gayle Krost, Norma Cohen, Alie Cohen and Michael Caryre. People who have so much love in their hearts and will do anything to ensure that our special children and their families receive the only the best care. The Special Children’s Center, is determined to do whatever it takes to help make life easier for parents of special children. The devoted Center staff never takes a break: so that parents can.

With all that The Special Children’s Center does for families of special needs children, the thing that is most appreciated is the Center’s unwritten policy of never saying “no.” It is the special “behind-thescenes” supporters, such as Rachel and Jeff Sutton, who also never say “no.” Who make the Center’s work possible their selfless generosity has enabled the Center to realize many of its dreams. With the dedication of the Rachel and Jeff Sutton Campus, a geometric increase in the happiness and joy for so many special children and their families becomes real.

Ahmadinejad tells US and UK to Stop Interfering...Continued from page 3 in Iranian politics. Even as Obama came under more forceful criticism that he should speak out more strongly on behalf of the protesters, on Friday the US president took pains to avoid directly confronting the ayatollahs. The US House and Senate passed resolutions backing the protesters' actions, and Republicans have seized on the text to charge that Obama has not done enough to stand with the Iranian people as they challenge the election results in which the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner despite widespread reports of irregularities. "We stand with those who would look to peaceful resolution of conflict and we believe that the voices of people have to be heard, that that's a universal value that the American people stand for and this administration stands for," Obama said, echoing his earlier statements on the chaotic and at times violent protests. "I'm very concerned, based on some of the tenor and tone of the statements that have been made, that the government of Iran recognize that the world is watching." Obama responded to charges that he has not said enough on the protesters' behalf by saying, "The last thing that I want to do is to have the United States

be a foil for those forces inside Iran who would love nothing better than to make this an argument about the United States. That's what they do. That's what we're already seeing. We shouldn't be playing into that." On Saturday, perhaps in response to congressional criticism, Obama challenged Iran's government to halt "all violent and unjust actions against its own people." He said in a statement that the universal rights to assembly and free speech must be respected and that the US "stands with all who seek to exercise those rights." White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the administration welcomed the House resolution and described it as reflecting "the words of President Obama throughout the week." Yet the House resolution explicitly "condemns the ongoing violence against demonstrators by the Government of Iran and pro-government militias, as well as the ongoing government suppression of independent electronic communication". The congressional resolutions also express support for "all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and rule of law." And the news Web site Politico reported that the administration had pushed members of Congress to tone down the language.

"We made it clear that we didn't want to make the US a foil in a debate that has nothing to do with us," a senior administration off icial was quoted as saying. "This is a debate among Iranians." The resolutions were backed by Republicans who have increasingly attacked the Obama administration for not supporting the protesters more emphatically. Eric Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the US House of Representatives, was among those voicing concern. "Their silence on the issue of human rights violations is very troubling to me. America has a moral responsibility to stand up for human rights around the world and to condemn the abuses that are occurring in Teheran today," he told AFP. He is calling for immediate passage of new Iran sanctions legislation to "send a message very quickly to our allies and the rest of the world that we mean to live by our commitments that we do not want Iran to become a nuclear power." Cantor's words were echoed in a flurry of editorials and columns by former Bush administration off icials and many other voices on the right of the political spectrum. At the same time, a new Pew poll found that Americans are more con-

cerned about Iran's nuclear program that at any point in the past year, with 69 percent of Americans believing it is a "major threat," up from 62% a year ago. Islamic extremist groups were seen as the most pressing, with 78% agreeing they constitute a major threat (as opposed to 72% who said that a year ago.) The next greatest concern was the North Korean nuclear program, which 72% say is a grave threat, a jump from 55% a year ago. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict came in last on the survey's list, with only 49% seeing it as a serious threat to the US. In terms of Obama's handling of the Middle East, 62% said he was striking the right balance between Israel and the Palestinians, while 6% thought he was favoring Israel and 17% thought he was favoring the Palestinians. There was a signif icant partisan divide in the answers, as only 43% of Republicans thought he was striking the right balance in comparison to 78% of Democrats, while the 36% of the former thought he was favoring Palestinians in comparison to only 4% of the latter who did. In both groups, 5% of respondents thought Obama was favoring Israel too much.

Community Must Shoulder Tuition Responsibility...Continued from page 9 is a tax sensitive to the assets of the person thus a wealthy person obligation is higher than others. In this way, the f inancial burden of the community is met. Until now, the concept has not existed in the Jewish community of the US. Yes, there are membership fees and other donations. If a system is established there may be greater funds

available. A central communal fund is clearly needed to subsidize schools and lessen the parental burden. A third concept Rabbi Abadie cited is that of “anniyah betecha kodmim the poor amongst your household must come f irst – an obligation to take care of our own poor before taking care of the poor of other places.” The “flight of capi-

tal to other countries - monies needed for the community here- may not be entirely legitimate. The first priority must be our own needy people; the education of our children must take first priority.” A fourth area to be acted upon, says Abadie, is the need to take stock of existing school resources. Many small schools lack efficiency, are not financially viable, and are not doing a

good educational job. It may be time for merger - the combination of resources must be considered. “There has to be a soul searching among educators and community leaders to decide how funds can be used more efficiently. If we are honest and want to do things am yisrael - for the sake of the people of Israel - we need to put individual differences and personal ego aside.”

Question Hold Up Atlantic Yards Project...Continued from page 14 cut Ratner a yet-to-be disclosed discount or delay payments on $100 million he owes and also cut back costs on a $345 million transit improvement plan to Long Island Rail Road's

Brooklyn, vowed that the Atlantic Yards opposition group would file new lawsuits if the ESDC and the MTA go ahead with its plans. "There is no way they'll have the land

they need to build this by the end of the year," he said.

MSNBC’s Deafening Silence on Patrick Buchanan’s...Continued from page 21 Department's Office of Special Investigations, which prosecutes and seeks to deport Nazi war criminals from the United States, because he considered the unit to be “a shark force . . . running down 70-year-old camp guards.” They do not know that he once wrote that “Though Hitler was indeed racist and anti-Semitic to the core, a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide, he was also an

individual of great courage, a soldier's soldier . . . a political organizer of the first rank, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him.” Patrick Buchanan has no greater credibility or respectability than David Duke, the former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, or Louis Farrakhan, the grotesquely anti-Semitic leader

of the Nation of Islam. That is why the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants is calling on Holocaust survivors, members of their families, and the Jewish community as a whole to write to MSNBC president Phil Griffin to express their collective outrage. If MSNBC’s executives insist on retaining Buchanan as a fixture on their news channel, he must be clear-

ly identified as an enabler of Holocaust deniers and a defender of Nazi war criminals whenever he appears on the air. Menachem Z. Rosensaft is Vice President of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, General Counsel of the World Jewish Congress, and Adjunct Professor of Law at Cornell Law School.

Pearls of Wisdom Torah Preservation Part 2 of 3 B Y R A B B I Y O S H I YA O P I N T O no one to rely upon, that the evil forces become stronger each day. Because of this lack of support, those who endeavor to preserve the Torah grow weaker, while the "legs" of that evil creature; which actually has no legs or thighs, that ancient serpent, become stronger. As long as the people of Israel are not committed to preserve the Torah and guarantee its perpetuation, that lack of support turns into support of the opposition, of the evil 'klipah' (shell) and of the serpent that crawls on its belly. e can see how crooked, cunning and shrewd was Satan the night he came riding on the serpent, to fight with Jacob. Genesis 27:22: "The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau" i.e., the moment Jacob's voice is silenced in the Yeshivas and the synagogues, the hands of Esau immediately take over. Satan was aware of this exchange and had therefore desperately tried any possible cunning scheme to set Jacob up and silence his voice. But Jacob remained strong and indomitable, so when "He (Satan) realized that he could not prevail against him" (Jacob), he touched the hollow of his thigh" (Genesis 32:26). Satan thought he was being really smart - once he would weaken Jacob's

We read in the Holy Zohar (81-171): "When a person dedicates himself to studying Torah all of his days but there is no one offering to support him, no one coming forth and places money in his pockets so he can continue and study without worrying, this is when the Torah starts to be slowly forgotten, from one generation to the next, its power weakens from day to day. It is because the Torah students have

support (his thigh), the Torah would be seriously weakened and the words of Jacob the Patriarch would be no longer heard: "The voice is the voice of Jacobâ€Ś" (see above) "And it shall come to pass that when thou shall have dominion, that thou shall break his yoke from off thy neck" (Genesis 27:40). Whenever the support system of the Torah breaks down, the voice of Jacob; the voice we hear throughout the synagogues and yeshivas is silenced and the hands of Esau immediately emerge, stirring wars around the world. The Baal Shem Tov told a wonderful parable about a king leading his infantry and horsemen in a war against his enemies: The infantry troops were deep in the middle of the battlefield, getting hit with a barrage of arrows and catapulting stones, ready to make the greatest sacrifice, willing to risk their life to achieve victory. Even as the battle intensified and the enemy seemed to gain the upper hand, they did not desert their posts and did not run away - not that there was anyplace to run to... The infantry stayed and continued to fight, surrounded by the enemy on all sides, facing only one choice: give up their life - but they would still help the king win the war. They girded themselves for the

final round, let out a ferocious lion's roar and overcame the enemy, sounding the triumphant cry. The horsemen, on the other hand, remained behind the whole time, stamping around, shooting occasional arrows while sitting on their horses - and immediately run away, looking for cover. The moment it seemed that the enemy was gaining the upper hand, they were gone, disappeared, spread to all four corners of the earth, racing like chariots on top of the mountains. However, as soon as the enemy has been defeated and the king declared victory, in came the horsemen galloping from afar, their voices as loud as the ocean waves, ready to pillage and plunder, to carry away the gold and silver and take whatever they can lay their hands on. The horses were now piled on to capacity with the spoils of war, the blazing colors of the booty adorning their necks. To be continuedâ€Ś

Parashat Shelach, 5769, 2009: “Understanding The Motivations Behind Korach’s Rebellion” 5 Tammuz, 5769 BY RABBI DAVID ETENGOFF Dedicated to the sacred memory of my sister-in-law, Ruchama Rivka Sondra and the refuah shlaimah of Sarah bat Rachel and Yosef Shmuel ben Miriam.

orach’s rebellion is very difficult to understand. At first blush, it seems that anyone with the least bit of G-dconsciousness should have been able to recognize that Korach’s revolt was, in fact, a rebellion against Hashem. The mutiny against Moshe and Aharon, while crucial and fundamental, was actually a ruse. It was merely the human terms in which Korach couched his insurrection against G-d. Rashi (1040-1105), basing himself upon several Midrashim, makes this point quite clearly in his commentary to Sefer Bamidbar 16:11: Therefore Because of this, “you and your entire company who are assembled” with you “are against the L-rd,” for I acted as His messenger to give the kehunah to Aaron, and this rebellion is not with us [but with the Lrd]. - [Midrash Tanchuma Korach 6, Num. Rabbah 18:9] (Translation, The Judaica Press Complete Tanach, emphasis my own) He further notes that Korach was blessed with a prodigious intellect (Sefer Bamidbar 16:7). Why then did Korach repudiate G-d’s authority and rebel against Him? Rashi answers this, as well, in his trenchant analy-

“Given that Korach was so wise and capable of receiving d’var Hashem (G-d’s directs words), how did he err so grievously?.” sis of Korach’s motives: But what did Korach, who was astute, see [to commit] this folly? His vision deceived him. He saw [prophetically] a chain of great people descended from him: Samuel, who is equal [in importance] to Moses and Aaron. He [Korach] said, “For his sake I will be spared.” [He also saw] twenty-four watches [of Levites] emanating from his grandsons, all prophesying through the holy spirit, as it says, ”all these were the sons of Heman“ (I Chron 25:5). He said, ” Is it possible that all this greatness is destined to emanate from me, and I should remain silent?“ Therefore, he participated [in the rebellion] to reach that prerogative, for he had heard from Moses that they would all perish and one would escape [death]: ”the one whom the L-rd chooses - he is the holy one.“ He erred in thinking that it referred to him. He, however, did not ”see" properly, for his sons repented [and thus did not die at that time]. Moses, however, foresaw this. - [This is found in Mid.Tanchuma, Korach 5, Num. Rabbah

18:8] (Translation, The Judaica Press Complete Tanach, emphasis my own) Rashi’s explanation of Korach’s seemingly inexplicable behavior goes a long way toward providing us with a conceptual framework for understanding these actions. It also fills in an essential detail that is the “real story behind the story.” Korach was blessed with Nevuah (Prophecy); i.e. G-d vouchsafed His glorious visions to him. Therefore, Korach’s view of the future was an accurate one – Shmuel Hanavi would be his rightful heir. Little wonder then, that Korach erred

“Korach’s motivations and actions are, in reality, a study in what we ought not to do if we are to be true avdei Hashem (G-d’s servants).” and mistakenly believed that the future belonged to him rather than to Moshe. He misinterpreted his prophetic vision as representing the eclipse of Moshe’s sun and the catapulting of his own star to the highest heights of the firmament. As we know with the benefit of hindsight, nothing could have been further from the truth. Unlike Korach, his sons did teshuvah (repented) and ultimately were the progenitors of future greatness. Therefore, they had a brilliant future that was filled with prominence, while Korach was literally buried alive as a result of his actions. In my opinion, we are still left with a quandary. Given that Korach was so wise and capable of receiving d’var Hashem (G-d’s directs words), how did he err so grievously? In a word, how did he simply “not get it?” It seems to me that Korach’s gaavat halev (arrogance) blinded him to the realities with which he was presented. No matter how brilliant and far seeing he was, his ego and blind ambition prevented him from perceiving the truth. This is precisely why the Rambam (1135-1204) warns us so insistently regarding the insidious trait of arrogance: There are some moral qualities wherein it is forbidden to take the middle approach. Instead, one should adopt one of the extremes of such temperaments. One of these is the temperament of arrogance. It is not good [enough] for one to be just modest, but one should be meek, and one's spirits should be low. Therefore, concerning Moses our Teacher it is written, "...very meek", and not just, "meek". Therefore, the Sages commanded that one should be very meek. They said further that anyone who raises his spirits [in a haughty fashion] is denying the essence, as it is written, "...then your heart be lifted up and you forget the L-rd your G-d". They also said that all those with arrogant airs should be excommunicated, even if they are only slightly arrogant. (Hilchot Deot 2:3, O’Levy

translation with my emendations) Korach simply did not understand the crucial nature of anivut (humility). He did not, and perhaps, could not appreciate that Moshe’s greatness was a direct product of his anivut. Hence, Korach’s arrogant self-perception was his downfall. In a sense, Korach’s story is a truly tragic one. It is the tale of squandered spiritual potential, misunderstanding, superciliousness, and unfettered ambition. He eschewed humility and embraced gaavat halev. Like a malevolent worm, this arrogance burrowed into every fiber of his being and prevented him from achieving even a part of what he could have become. Korach, in word, was his own worst enemy. Korach’s motivations and actions are, in reality, a study in what we ought not to do if we are to be true avdei Hashem (G-d’s servants). Dovid Hamelech (King David) in Psalm 45, a psalm from the sons of Korach (b’nei Korach), depicts the greatness and humility that is a singular trait of true Torah scholars: “And your glory is that you will pass and ride for the sake of truth and righteous humility (v’anavah tzedek), and it shall instruct you so that your right hand shall perform awesome things.” (Verse 5, translation,

“May Hashem give us the wisdom to be like b’nei Korach, rather than Korach..”

The Judaica Press Complete Tanach). Korach’s children and his children’s children understood what was necessary to serve Hashem. In a sense, they were wiser and more prescient than their father – even if they did not receive prophecy from Hashem. May Hashem give us the wisdom to be like b’nei Korach, rather than Korach. May He give us the ability to choose anavah tzedek and reject gaavat halev. If we can achieve this lofty, but accessible goal, we will be zocheh (merit) to be true avdei Hashem. V’chane yihi ratzon.

D.C. COUNCIL URGES HATE CRIMES CHARGES he District of Columbia Council introduced a resolution urging federal prosecutors to charge the accused Holocaust museum shooter with violating the city's hate-crimes law.

A large majority of the council expressed support for the resolution at a meeting Tuesday, the Washington Post reported, but voting on the measure will take place at a later date. Von Brunn's ar raignment, scheduled for Monday, was postponed to next week because a U.S. District Court judge in Washington ruled that von Brunn was too injured to appear in court.

Launched this week, the four-year program offered to young men studying at Hesder yeshiva, which combines Torah studies with army service, includes two years of army service and two years of study. The existing f iveyear program combines 18 months of army service and 3 1/2 years of study. The programs will operate at the same time. Some yeshiva heads said Wednesday that the new program was designed to accommodate a growing number of young religious men who want a religious framework but are not cut out to be Torah scholars, the Jerusalem Post reported.

PA LAUNCHES HEBREW NEWS SITE The Palestinian Authority's off icial news agency launched a Hebrew-language Web site. The site will provide Hebrew-speaking readers with "accurate and f irsthand information" from the PA, according to the agency, also known as WAFA. PA President Mahmoud Abbas said in a letter posted on the site that the page would promote direct dialogue with Israelis as well as present the news objectively and accurately. The Hebrew site will provide different content than the Arabic one, Ha'aretz reported, quoting Riyad alHassan, director general of the site. News reported in Hebrew also will be translated into Arabic, according to reports.

People, Places, and Things BY PAUL STEINER July is N a t i o n a l Blueberry Month in case you forgot. In June 1775 the United Colonies changed its name to the United States. The exhibition "Gord Peteran: Furniture Meets Its Maker" at Museum of Arts & Design opened May 5, NY (Behind The Times) reviewed it June 12. The Little Orchestra Society holds very successful concerts with famous soloists at Zankel & Weill, Carnegie Hall. Shooting hoops for charity After playing to a sellout crowd in 2007, Israel's pro-basketball team, Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv, is coming back this fall for an encore game with the New York Knicks. All ticket sales for the event, to take place on Oct. 18, will benef it Israel's Migdal Ohr orphanage, the largest in the world. The 2007 game netted the organization $1.2 mill i o n . This year, the group added a second game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Tickets are on sale now for $36 to $2,500 with the entire net going to the orphanage. Trends in million-dollar giving Who is most likely to make a gift of $1 million or more? According to a study of the Million Dollar List, released by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, donors of "self-made" wealth made the most gifts at that level and gave the most dollars. Artists Speak: Eat, Sleep, and Pray Artists Tino Sehgal and Lee Mingwei talk about incorporating everyday rituals kissing, cooking, teaching and talking into their performance. Glenn D. Lowry, director of The Museum of Modern Art, moderated. Music Music Ursula Oppens studied piano with her mother, the late Edith Oppens, as well as with Leonard Shure and Guide Agosti, and received her master's degree at The Juilliard School, where she studied with Felix Galimir and Rosina Lhevinne. As an undergraduate

at Radcliffe College, she studied English literature and economics. A native New Yorker, Ms. Oppens made her New York debut at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1969 under the auspices of Young Concert Artists. She won f irst prize in the Busoni International Piano Competition that same year, and was awarded the Diploma d'Onore of the Accademia Chigiana in 1970. A cofounder of Speculum Musicae, in 1976 Ms. Oppens won an Avery Fisher Career Grant, which led to a performance with the New York Philharmonic. Ms. Opens can be heard on Angel Arista, Audivis, BMG, Bridge, CBS Masterworks, CP2 CRI, De Note, Koch International classics, Music and Arts, Vanguard, New Albion, New World, Nonesuch, and Watt Works. Ms. Oppens lives in New York City. Programs notes from Carnegie concert of Korea Music Foundation Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra: Beethoven was born at a time when the piano was a relatively new instrument, emancipating composers and performers from the sonorous and textural limitations of the harpsichord. With an increased range, a richer sound and more interpretive control, the emergence of the virtuoso soloist was a natural development. Pianoforte sound was then a subjective matter, with French, English, and Viennese instrument makers in earnest competition. Beethoven, throughout his career, continually searched for and demanded a different sound; consequently, he helped to improve the instrument and affect its future by the music he created for it. Beethoven was a commanding pianist and an experienced performer. He understood that a concerto is a form of theater. Renowned musicologist and pianist Charles Rosen commented: "The most important fact about the concerto form is that the audience waits for the soloist to enter, and when he stops playing they wait for him to begin again." Beethoven acknowledged this with his f irst entrances. With the Fourth Concerto, the f irst real innovation in the genre since Mozart.

Opposition Moves to Stymie Budget Bill at Every Turn...Continued from page 5 After the Finance Ministry retained in the draft budget the move to impose VAT on foreign tourists, Tourism Minister Stas Meseznikov (Israel Beiteinu) said his party, a coalition partner, would vote against the entire budget if that clause were not removed before the bill's next reading. "This is a backwards move that will bring about the f iring of thousands of workers and will deliver a mortal blow to the Israeli tourism industry which already took a hit from the economic crisis," he said.

Disagreement within the coalition prior to the committee meeting erupted into shouting matches during a preliminary meeting, and as a result, the House Committee was forced to delay its meeting by a half hour. A third party joined the debate regarding the Economic Arrangements Bill when the opposition revealed before the committee meeting that Knesset legal adviser Nurit Elshtein had submitted a legal opinion blasting the fact that only approximately one out of f ive clauses in the bill dealt explicitly

with the budget. During the committee meeting, Itzik suggested that the committee refrain from discussing all the clauses that Elshtein found irrelevant to the budget. In the meantime, Meretz chairman Haim Oron opened an additional front in the continuing battle between coalition and opposition when he turned to cabinet secretary Tzvika Hauser to ask him to change aspects of the so-called Mofaz Bill that is at the heart of the current Knesset crisis. Elkin said in response that Oron's proposal was not

acceptable, as "the current format is the one that will strengthen and guarantee governmental stability and will prevent the establishment of fragments of factions within the Knesset." Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and opposition chairwoman Tzipi Livni are scheduled to hold a legally-mandated meeting on Friday, during which they are expected to discuss the stalemate within the Knesset.

PM Faces Rebellion from Likud Activists...Continued from page 4 his speech could alleviate American pressure. "Netanyahu set the principle that there is room for another state, and the world will take it from there," Feiglin said. Likud MKs Danny Danon and Yariv Levin, who oppose the creation of a Palestinian state, said they opposed convening the committee, because they were afraid that Netanyahu could succeed in overturning the 2002 decision

opposing such a state because of support for his speech. Two new polls published Tuesday showed that the public overwhelmingly approved of Netanyahu's speech and his conditions that a Palestinian state be demilitarized and that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state. A New Wave poll published in Israel Hayom found that 61 percent supported the plan, 23% opposed it and 16% did not have an opinion. A Dialog poll pub-

lished in Haaretz found that 71% agreed with the content of the speech. In the Dialog poll, Netanyahu's approval rating jumped to 44%, up from 28% a month ago. The poll found that 67% did not think the speech would move peace closer. In the New Wave poll, 20% of respondents said their support for Netanyahu increased due to the speech, 10% said it decreased, 54% said it did not change and 16% did not know.

On the settlement issue, 58% said they opposed Obama's call for a settlement freeze, including natural growth. Thirty percent supported it and 12% did not know. Asked whether they believed it was possible to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians, 64% of respondents said they did not, 29% said said they did, and 8% said they did not know.

Dudu Topaz Indicted at Tel Aviv Court...Continued from page 4 which was made to look as if it came from a fanatical group of Betar Jerusalem fans, but which was actually sent by Topaz. In January, Ben-Zion was punched in the face after exiting his home. He had received a threatening phone call minutes before the assault. The indictment sheet revealed that Topaz had been unhappy with the "low" level of violence used in that attack, and ordered a more violent assault on the actor's

agent. Topaz allegedly paid NIS 30,000 for the attack on Shira Margalit. He is said to have passed a written description of the Reshet TV network executive to Zenko, who ordered the goons to "slap her twice so that she ends up in hospital." Last month, Margalit, 40, required hospital treatment after being repeatedly punched by two men near her north Tel Aviv home. Upon hearing her

screams, Margalit's partner ran outside the home, and was sprayed in the face with pepper spray. Topaz was also accused of ordering an attack on Amos Regev, editor of the Yisrael Hayom newspaper, who turned down Topaz's idea to write a column. Topaz sent Zanko a text message last month ordering the attacks to cease after a wave of rumors washed over the media linking Topaz to them. "Let's delay the additional 'renova-

tion' for the time being," Topaz wrote. "Fine. When you want to 'renovate' I have the best contractor," Zanko replied. Three more suspects - including two brothers arrested in Kfar Saba on Wednesday in connection with the attacks - will be indicted at a later stage, prosecutors said.

Obama Warns North Korea a 'Grave Threat'...Continued from page 10 against the North, a week after the UN Security Council tightened controls on arms shipments involving the hardline state. And the US president said measures were being discussed with other regional partners involved in six-party denuclearization talks, namely China, Japan and Russia, "to make it clear to North Korea that it will not find security or respect through threats and illegal weapons." After talks and lunch at the White House, Lee welcomed assurances that his country remains under the US security

umbrella and said Obama, who advocates an eventual end to nuclear weapons, made clear it included the US nuclear deterrent. "This has given the South Korean people a greater sense of security," Lee said. "We agreed that under no circumstance are we going to allow North Korea to possess nuclear weapons," Lee said. On one major issue for Lee, he said that he and Obama had agreed to workinglevel talks to advance a free trade agreement which the US leader had branded as flawed before taking office. Obama said he was "committed" to advancing the free trade deal but refused

to put a timeline on it, admitting that differences remained over exports of US beef and cars to South Korea. Pyongyang sent East Asian tensions into overdrive last month with its second nuclear detonation, which followed what Washington said was a disguised test of a long-range missile in April. Obama came to office offering negotiations with the North, but Kim's government has grown ever more defiant. On Saturday, the North vowed to build more nuclear bombs and start enriching uranium for a new atomic weapons program, in response to the new UN sanctions. A special North Korean train that last month took a long-range missile to a west coast launch site has recently made a journey to another launch site on the east coast, a report said Wednesday. South Korea and the United States are wondering whether Pyongyang intends simultaneous launches from both sites or whether the train's latest journey is just a smokescreen to confuse watchers, Seoul's Chosun Ilbo newspaper said. The paper said the train was used in May to transport a missile to a newly-completed site at Dongchang-ri on the northwest coast. It said the train was also recently spotted travelling from a missile research centre in Pyongyang to Musudan-ri on the east coast, which the North used for its three previous long-range missile launches.

Some analysts have speculated that the saber-rattling is primarily rooted in an attempt by ailing 67-year-old Kim to bolster a succession plan involving his youngest son, Kim Jong-Un. The United States stations some 28,500 troops in South Korea and more than 40,000 more in nearby Japan, which also has tense relations with Pyongyang. Lee, a conservative businessman, took over last year and delighted many in what was then George W. Bush's Washington by reversing a decade-long "sunshine policy" under which South Korea put few restrictions on aid to the impoverished North. The latest nuclear showdown with North Korea is clouding the fate of two female US journalists jailed by Pyongyang last week for 12 years. Off icial North Korean media said Tuesday that Laura Ling, 32, and Euna Lee, 36, had confessed to a politically motivated smear campaign. Washington has said it considers the case of the reporters as separate from the nuclear row and has been trying to win their release. There has been growing speculation in Washington meanwhile that North Korea may soon conduct its third nuclear test. Lieutenant General Patrick O?Reilly, head of the Missile Defense Agency, said that North Korea was also aggressively proliferating weapons overseas. "There is an extensive effort going on to sell North Korean products," he said in testimony to the Senate.

Can Jewish Groups Balance Security with Access?...Continued from page 7 “No Jewish institution has woken up in the past two months and said, ‘Whoa, we need more security,’” said Elliot Forchheimer, executive director of the Westchester organization. “Enormous money has been allocated to security. We meet quarterly with all of the organizations in

Westchester to discuss what are you doing and how can you get grant money and are you paying for guards and how do you use them, do they carry guns or not.” Fuel for Truth, an Israel advocacy organization, at an event for some 400 guests the day after the museum shooting had everyone

go through metal detectors and inspection by beefy security guards before they could enter the Manhattan nightclub. Executive director Joe Richards said any gathering of the group that consists of more than 10 people, even a board meeting, requires a security plan.

“Wedon’tmessaround,”RichardstoldJTA.“Youcan’t just rely on external security. Pre-World War II, Jews relied on governments to protect them. You have to take it into your own hands, not just be more vigilant.”

Iran Opposition Rallies to Mourn Slain Protesters...Continued from page 11 ceeded by Ahmadinejad in 2005, issued a joint letter on Wednesday urging authorities to release those arrested and to halt the violence. "We ask you to take all the necessary measures to put an end to today's worrying situation, to stop the violent actions against people and to free those arrested," said the letter, published on Mousavi's website. Meanwhile, the Fars news agency reported that a daughter and son of

another former president who has been a prominent Mousavi supporter Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani have been barred from leaving the country over their alleged role in disturbances since the election. On Wednesday, state television showed footage of Rafsanjani's chadorclad daughter Faezeh talking animatedly among protesters in Tehran. The former president's son, Mehdi Hashemi, was also the target of mudslinging by

Ahmadinejad during the election campaign. In new measures against the media, the elite Revolutionary Guards told websites to delete material that "creates tensions" or face legal action, and the foreign ministry issued a new warning to the foreign media, accusing some outlets of becoming the "mouthpiece of the rioters' movement." Pictures, videos and updates from the streets of Iran continue to pour in to social-net-

working and image-sharing websites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube despite Iranian efforts to cut off mobile phones and the Internet. Sometimes jumpy footage broadcast on the Internet from amateur videos has shown chaotic and sometimes brutal scenes of violence, with police beating protesters and one image purportedly showing a protester shot dead during massive street protests on Monday.

In Endorsing Two States, Netanyahu Adopts Popular Jewish Position...Continued from page 12 said. “The speech makes it look like Israel is caving into pressure.” A number of Jewish organizational officials interpreted the Obama administration’s lack of focus on Netanyahu’s refusal Sunday to commit to a settlement freeze as an indication that the White House wants to take the

spotlight off that issue as negotiations are revived. Initial White House statements on the speech didn't mention settlements at all. On Monday, Obama reiterated his call for a “cessation of settlements” but didn't comment on that portion of Netanyahu's speech.

“I think the parties on the ground understand that if you have a continuation of settlements that in past agreements have been categorized as illegal, that's going to be an impediment to progress,” Obama said. The Obama administration wanted to emphasize the positive, said Sam Lewis, a

former U.S. ambassador to Israel and a senior policy adviser to the Israel Policy Forum. Netanyahu “said enough to give Obama and Mitchell” U.S. special Middle East enjoy George Mitchell “some material to work with in pushing forward,” Lewis said.

1,000 People Aattend OU’s “Emerging Jewish Communities”...Continued from page 18 contacts for those interested in making a job connection there, and a chart showing that Dallas has the shortest average commute from work to home compared to other major cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Hillel Goldstein attended the Fair with his wife; both are looking for new jobs, and Goldstein said that the convenience of the Fair is such that rather than flying out to different states for interviews, the Fair can provide some good leads without necessitating frequent and expensive travel. Nine years ago, Rabbi Daniel Alter and his young family moved from the East Coast to Denver, where Rabbi Alter is now Head of School at Denver Academy of Torah (and where four of the Alter children attend) and leads the DAT Minyan housed in the same build-

ing. “Denver has all the resources of a Jewish community, even if there are two Orthodox schools instead of ten or twelve,” commented Rabbi Alter. “The truth is, the fact that there are fewer schools means there is a greater diversity of student body. You’re not just interacting with someone who does exactly as you do, but learning from all different types of Jews.” Rabbi Alter says that the children in the area have great middot (positive character traits) and he pointed out that Colorado is a place where commutes are generally close to home, allowing quick transition from work to home life. Rebecca Weiss Sigman, who recently moved to Stamford, Connecticut from New York with her husband Eric, cannot praise their new community enough. “We moved here because the taxes were

less than Westchester (in New York), and because the community was extremely warm and inviting,” said Sigman, who represented Stamford at the OU Fair. “When we arrived, we had neighbors welcome us with open arms. We get invited out for Shabbos all the time and have made instant friends with many people.” Mrs. Weiss Sigman is certainly a wealth of information for those seeking to move to other areas, even those apart from Stamford, for she lived f irsthand the frustration of deciding where to move and did something constructive about it. She and her husband founded the website, www.stopwandering.com, offering the Jewish home-buyer real estate listings in close proximity to synagogues and other community resources. Several of the communities

represented at the Fair are featured on the site. Localities looking to revitalize their communities are serious about bringing in an influx of Jews: both Phoenix and Richmond offered free tuition for one child for a year to families who move to their communities, and Des Moines highlighted its offer of a $5,000 incentive to any family who moves to the community and stays for a minimum of three years. But for most families, the chance for a less-stressful, less expensive, and a more small-town Jewish environment, is incentive enough.

for the absence of peace, it is far from clear that he has any choice other than to go along with the president and just play for time. Were Netanyahu to apply Israeli law to the large settlement blocs and the Jordan Valley or establish security zones along Gaza's borders with Israel and Egypt, he would likely instigate a full breach of relations with Washington. At this point, it is up to the public and our representatives in the Knesset to pave the way for a better policy in the future. This we can do by rejecting the two-state paradigm and conducting a public discourse relevant to our national interests. For Netanyahu, however, buying time with a hostile administration may be the best he can aspire to during his current term in off ice. Of course, buying time in and of itself is no great accomplishment. The voters did not elect Netanyahu to lead us simply to buy time. We elected him to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear

weapons. If his speech succeeded in blunting US pressure on Israel - even temporarily - on the Palestinian front, and in light of the results of the Iranian presidential race, Netanyahu has gained the opportunity to act on the Iranian front. If during his current term he prevents Iran from becoming a nuclear power and makes no concessions in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem or the Golan Heights, he will be remembered as one of our greatest leaders and his speech will be remembered for posterity as a pivotal event. On the other hand, if Netanyahu sits on his laurels, he will be surprised to see how quickly Obama - desperate for a foreign policy achievement after being laughed out of Teheran and Pyongyang forgets his happiness at Netanyahu's address. In no time flat, Obama will try to force Israel make him look like he knows what he is doing. At that point, an open confrontation with the White House will become unavoidable.

Obama's Losing Streak and Israel...Continued from page 21 mistake he made in his f irst term in off ice. In 1996 he conditioned his willingness to move forward with peace talks with the PLO on the terror group's amendment of its charter calling for the destruction of Israel in line with its commitment under the initial Oslo agreement. Netanyahu empowered Bill Clinton to judge Palestinian compliance with this demand. In due course, Clinton travelled to Gaza and mendaciously announced that the PLO had in fact amended the charter. No such action had been taken, but Netanyahu was in no position to accuse Clinton of lying. While his decision to appoint Obama arbiter of Palestinian demilitarization was ill-conceived, things could have been much worse. Netanyahu ignored the so-called road map peace plan. That plan is one long list of Palestinian commitments that the US is empowered to judge compliance on. From terror f ighting to ending

incitement, the road map places Israel in the position of being forced to take America's word on issues paramount to its national security. By ignoring the road map, Netanyahu managed to avert the need to call Obama a liar directly. The other problem with Netanyahu's speech is that by accepting the idea of a Palestinian state, and embracing Obama's fantasy that it is possible to reach a deal with the Palestinian Authority, Netanyahu blocked the possibility that Israel will be able to forge a new policy that will move it to a more advantageous status quo in the coming years. That is, Netanyahu's conditional acceptance of Obama's false and ideologically motivated two-state paradigm damns Israel to the position of foot dragger in relation to someone else's policy rather than trailblazer for its own policy. In fairness to Netanyahu, in light of Obama's ideological commitment to the two-state paradigm which blames Israel

Psoriasis Sufferers Have Increased Likelihood of Serious Health Issues BY HEATHER HAJEK If you are one of the millions of Americans who currently suffer from psoriasis, you may have an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or blockages in the legs, arms and groin, according to new research. Those who suffer with psoriasis, an irritating skin condition, which is also associated with atherosclerosis, a disease of the blood vessels signaled by plaque buildup, might also have an increased risk of dying. soriasis, a condition that causes raised, silvery plaque-looking skin, and affects around 7 million Americans. Several previously released studies have indicated a link between psoriasis and several other systemic, inflammatory diseases. Now, a new study published in the June issue of the Archives of Dermatology, indicates a greater risk of strokes, heart conditions and blockages for psoriasis sufferers. Researchers for the new study evaluated heart rates, vascular diseases, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and death in 3,236 patients who were suffering with psoriasis and 2,500 patients who did not suffer from the skin condition. The group suffering from psoriasis was a few years older on average and consisted of more male patients, compared to the control group. The psoriasis group also consisted of more smokers, diabetics, and hypertensive patients. However, researchers adjusted for the differences. The study found those with psoriasis were twice as like-

ly, as those not suffering from the condition, to have been diagnosed with heart disease, stroke-related vascular disease, or PAD. Nearly double the number of patients who were suffering from psoriasis died during the study, compared to those who did not suffer with the skin condition. According to study author Dr. Robert S. Kirsner, a Stiefel Laboratories professor and vice chairman with the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine, “Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease similar to rheumatoid arthritis [and] the same inflammatory cytokine prof ile that is thought to cause psoriasis has been also shown to cause cardiovascular disease.” He feels the underlying link between the conditions is inflammation. Dr. Kirsner says, “Psoriasis is not just a skin disease, but rather a disease that appears to have diffuse manifestations throughout the body.” Even though researchers are not sure if aggressively treating psoriasis can help to prevent heart conditions, stroke or PAD, there is some indication it may. There is a need for more research, to better clarify the link between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease, but Dr. Kirsner says, “Patients with psoriasis and clinicians caring for patients with psoriasis should be aware of this association and take appropriate action to limit risk of developing these diseases.” Those who suffer from psoriasis should have regular check ups and screenings for diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol-levels and other links to heart conditions and stroke.

Recession Blues: NYM Can Help Ease Your Sleepless Nights BY JODI-ANN BAILEY As the economy worsens, fear of unemployment and financial instability can affect an individual’s sleeping patterns. For some people, the economic crisis is an additional stressor and can, in turn, exacerbate existing sleep problems or lead to insomnia. Often brought on by stress, depression or anxiety, insomnia is most commonly found in women, the elderly, and people with other chronic health problems. t New York Methodist Hospital (NYM), board-certified specialists in sleep medicine offer a focused, cognitive behavioral therapy approach to treating insomnia. A joint effort between the Hospital’s Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and Sleep Disorders Center, NYM’s insomnia clinic is specifically designed to support and treat patients with this often-chronic sleep disorder. “We assist patients by teaching them how to think about sleep in a more positive way,” said Liziamma George, M.D., director of New York Methodist’s medical intensive care unit and a board certified physician in sleep medicine, who runs the Hospital’s insomnia clinic with Boris Dubrovsky, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist with the Sleep Disorders Center at NYM. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment method that combines changing an individual’s attitudes, beliefs and assumptions about sleep while helping the patient to

understand how to implement new behavioral patterns or habits. “By carefully addressing the patient’s sleep problems from both a cognitive and behavioral viewpoint, we are able to attack the problem head on and devise techniques that work best for that individual patient,” said Dr. George. Because insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis or disease, all underlying diseases that may contribute to the condition must first be ruled out. A patient’s sleep history and physical and mental conditions are thoroughly examined before a course of action is chosen. In some cases, insomnia acts as a flashing yellow light in terms of sleep problems. A person’s inability to go to sleep or stay asleep might be related to their partner’s snoring, sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome, all of which are treated at New York Methodist’s Sleep Disorders Center. NYM’s Center, the only hospital-based sleep center in Brooklyn to receive accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, offers diagnostic and therapeutic services for a full range of sleeping problems and disorders. For more information on the insomnia clinic at New York Methodist Hospital, please call NYM’s faculty practice office at 718 246-8600. A physician referral is required. For more information on NYM’s Sleep Disorder Center, please call 718 7803017.
