ny manifestation of anti-Semitism is cause for concern,” says Ken Jacobson, New York Regional Director of the ADL Anti Defamation League, which is working closely with the Hate Crime Task Force in Nassau County and the New York Police Department. While the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the New York area is actually down from previous years, “every incident has an impact on the community. It’s not just a crime against an individual but against the whole community,” says Jacobson. ADL has been influential in effecting the enactment of Hate Crime legislation in 45 states, and is pushing for the creation of a federal law. The ADL works actively with key ethnic and religious communities in New York, and maintain a full international affairs agenda which includes meetings with missions to the United Nations and the many foreign consulates in New York City.

When the front doors of Congregation Beth Shalom Chabad of Mineola, New York were spray-painted with bright orange swastikas, it was reported in Newsday. A week earlier, New York papers reported similar attacks on two lower east side Manhattan synagogues. Earlier this spring, far more serious attacks were attempted against two Riverdale synagogues.

Israel’s Prime Binyamin Netanyahu uttered the words that Washington had been urging him to say to his cabinet for months, “two states for two peoples.” BY HERB KEINON
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's use of the words "two states for two peoples" at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting was "most certainly" the result of intensive efforts by the US to restart the diplomatic process with the Palestinians, senior diplomatic officials said. or the first time since being sworn into office 95 days ago, and on the eve of yet another meeting between Defense Minister Ehud Barak and US Mideast envoy George Mitchell, Netanyahu uttered the "magic formula" Washington had been urging him to say to his cabinet for months. The Palestinians have conditioned discussions with the Netanyahu government on an Israeli commitment to two states, as well as a settlement freeze. The conditions of that

freeze, and what exactly it means, are being worked out in the meetings between Barak and Mitchell. Barak flew to London on Sunday for a meeting with Mitchell, their second in a week. He met with Mitchell last Tuesday in New York. Before setting off, Barak said the meeting with Mitchell was "a bid to advance a broader understanding between us and the US concerning the peace process." The peace process, Barak said, included "the regional comprehensive solution we greatly support, and also how to translate the road map - which Israel has accepted with reservations and understandings - to a way which will be agreed upon by us, the US, and the other parties, in order to move the peace process forward and to create an opening for

MOUSAVI,THE WORLD IS WATCHING, CANDIDATE REMAINS DEFIANT BY MAXINE DOVERE
Iran has had a quasi theocracy since the ouster of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlaviby the Islamic Revolution of 1979. In June 2009, a presidential election was held. The Shiite regime is challenged as at no other time. Review: June 12, 2009, after a hard fought campaign, that some even called “Western style,” Iranian voters went to the polls in unprecedented numbers. Somehow, within four hours after the last of more than 40 million paper ballots was cast, the reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was announced, allegedly in a landslide. He claimed to have received 60 percent of the vote. Iranians took to the streets as they

Russian and US leaders Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama announced agreements on Afghanistan and cutting their nuclear arsenals as they sought a new era in battered relations. he ex-Cold War foes issued a declaration on replacing a key disarmament treaty, including figures for major cuts in nuclear warheads and clinched a breakthrough deal for US military transit for Afghanistan across Russia. But as Obama made his f irst visit to Moscow as president, they still remained divided over US plans to install a missile defence shield in eastern Europe and Moscow's policy towards the pro-Western ex-Soviet state Georgia. "The president and I agreed that the relationship between Russia and the United States (has suffered) from a sense of drift," Obama said at joint news conference in the Kremlin with Medvedev.

"We resolved to reset US-Russian relations. Today, after less than six months of collaboration (since coming to off ice), we have done exactly that," he added. The declaration, signed by the presidents, pledges to reach a new nuclear arms reduction pact to replace the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). Obama said it provides for cuts of "up to a third" from current limitations. It "commits both parties to a legally binding treaty that will reduce nuclear weapons," the White House said in a statement. START is due to expire on December 5 but the declaration gave no target date for a renewal, instructing negotiators to complete the work as quickly as possible. The declaration called for a reduction in the number of nuclear warheads in Russian and US strategic arsenals to between 1,500 and 1,675 within seven years and the number of ballistic missile carriers to between 500-1,100. The cuts go beyond those levels set in the 2002 Strategic Offensive Reductions

"The declared reduction is a real agreement and it suits everyone," said Alexei Malashenko, an analyst with the Carnegie Centre in Moscow. "The Americans have decided to accept Russia as it is. Obama does not have the complexes from the Cold War and does not consider Russia to be an enemy of the United States." The Afghanistan agreement means Russia has authorised the use of its airspace for the transit of US troops and arms, a major boost for Obama's bid to step up the f ight against the Taliban. The deal permits up to 4,500 military flights per year, or about 12 per day, which can be loaded with troops, f irearms, ammunition, military vehicles and spare parts, a senior US off icial said.

Poll Gives Netanyahu Positive Marks Despite Disputes With US BY ROBERT BERGER Israel's new right-wing government is about to complete its first 100 days in power, a period marked by tension with Washington over how to advance the peace process with the Palestinians. But the Israeli public is showing cautious support for the nation's new leader. poll marking hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's f irst 100 days in off ice gives him positive marks despite a deepening dispute with the United States over Jewish settlements. Mr. Netanyahu enjoys a 49 percent approval rating, according to the poll published in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz. That is much higher than his dovish predecessor Ehud Olmert, who offered major territorial concessions to the Palestinians. Mr. Netanyahu also scored 18 points higher than the woman he narrowly defeated in February elections, former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, a strong advocate of Palestinian statehood. Under U.S. pressure, Mr. Netanyahu reluctantly endorsed the concept of a Palestinian state last month, but with tough conditions that were flatly rejected by the Palestinians.
A
David Stern, a man on the street here in Jerusalem, supports the prime minister's cautious approach. "I don't actually expect that there will be a Palestinian state, not because of Israel's recalcitrance but because Palestinians don't seem to really want it," he said. "They want a state instead of Israel, not a state alongside Israel." Mr. Netanyahu's support for settlement expansion has strained Israel's all-important relations with Washington. But Israeli analyst Mitchell Barak says the prime minister has managed to walk a tightrope between U.S. pressure and the demands of his nationalist coalition partners. Barak says Mr. Netanyahu has made concessions: Israel says it will not build new settlements, but will only allow "natural growth," and there are plans to dismantle about two dozen illegal settlement outposts in the West Bank. "That was a very big step, I think unfortunately that the U.S. didn't see it as such a big step. And he was able to get his coalition to agree to that and not attack him. So from that point of view I would give him a good score," he said. The Israeli public is divided on the settlement issue: The poll showed that 46 percent of respondents support continuing construction in the West Bank even if it means a confrontation with the U.S. - 44 percent were opposed.

Netanyahu and The Two State Solution Continued from cover the Palestinians." During the last meeting, Barak discussed with Mitchell linking an agreement on the settlement issue with the Arab states taking steps now to normalize relations with Israel. Meanwhile, Netanyahu - who refrained from saying "two states for two peoples" during his meeting with US President Barack Obama in May, and in his Bar-Ilan University speech in June - pronounced the words in the context of reviewing his first 100 days in office at Sunday's cabinet meeting. "I can't say that we had 100 days of grace, but we are not complaining, because we have many achievements," the prime minister said. First and foremost was the establishment of a national unity government that "brought national consensus to the idea of two states for two peoples," he said. An agreement on this, he stressed, will necessitate the Palestinians recognizing Israel as the "state of the Jewish people," something that means the refugee issue will "be solved outside Israel's borders." Such an agreement would also mean that "Israel needs and will receive defensible borders which include a full demilitarization of the Palestinian territory," Netanyahu said. His comments on "two states for two peoples" were more explicit than what he

I Habayit Hayehudi faction chairman
Zevulun Orlev slammed Netanyahu for saying "two states for two peoples." He called on the prime minister to stop "surrendering" to American and European pressure. The prime minister was also criticized by opposition MKs. National Union chairman Ya'acov Katz said that had Netanyahu said what he said at Sunday's cabinet meeting during the election campaign, he would not be prime minister today. "He was elected to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state and now he declares that there is a consensus on two states for two peoples," National Union MK Arye Eldad said. "But Netanyahu knows that the only consensus now is that he is a weak leader who crumbles under pressure and will do anything to suck up the American administration." Netanyahu received praise from leftwing lawmakers and the founders of the Geneva initiative. But Kadima leader Tzipi Livni's associates reacted with skepticism. "It is ironic that he says he obtained a consensus on two states for two peoples when the only one who has changed his mind about the matter is him," a Livni associate said. "The test is not in Netanyahu's words but his actions, and unfortunately, he has not done anything yet." Meanwhile, Chief of General Staff Lt.Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi briefed the cabinet for the first time since it was sworn in on the overall security situation, stressing that the lessons of the Second Lebanon War had been learned and implemented, as was apparent by the IDF's performance during Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip.
JULY 10, 2009 The Jewish Voice While the World is Watching: Ex-Nazi Guard Demjanjuk Fit for Societal Change in Iran Trial in Germany PAGE 6
INTERNATIONAL
BY RALF ISERMANN
Continued from cover
Former Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk, accused of herding 29,000 Jews to the gas chambers, is fit to be tried in what could be Germany's last major Nazi case, prosecutors said. he Ukrainian-born 89-year-old, who was deported from the United States in May, "is fit to stand trial with the restriction that trial days do not last longer than two sessions of 90 minutes," said Margarete Noetzel, a spokeswoman for the state prosecutor's office, citing a medical report. The case will be transmitted to the court in July, Noetzel added, but it was unclear when any trial would start. "It is not yet possible to say when a trial would begin. Any speculation would just be like reading tea leaves," she said. Noetzel added: "The prosecution's charges must be admitted by the court. Then the defence could present objections. It is going to last a while." Demjanjuk, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's number one suspect among those known to be alive, is wanted for complicity in the deaths of thousands of Jews during his time at the Sobibor death camp in Nazioccupied Poland in 1943. Reacting to the decision, the head of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, Ephraim Zuroff, told AFP: "We are very pleased that this trial can take place and we hope that it will start as quickly as possible so that this criminal can be judged and receive the punishment he deserves. "We are convinced that Demjanjuk took part in the final solution," added Zuroff, referring to the Nazi genocide of around six million Jews. The centre's latest report on wanted Nazi war criminals places Demjanjuk in third position behind two others thought to be dead. It is not the first time the barrel-chested, bespectacled Demjanjuk has found himself facing judgement. He spent five years on death row in Israel before being acquitted in 1993 when the Jewish state overturned the verdict. In that case, Demjanjuk was suspected of being "Ivan the Terrible," a particularly brutal death camp guard who specialised in hacking at naked prisoners with a sword, but Israel established it had the wrong man. According to Demjanjuk's lawyer, his client says he was never there. But courts in both Israel and the United States have previously stated he was a guard at Sobibor, accusations he had never previously challenged. Prosecutors also have an SS identity card with a photograph of a young man said to be

Demjanjuk is accused of bringing 29,000 Jews to their deaths. Demjanjuk and written transcripts of witness testimony placing him at the camp. Demjanjuk is stateless, having been stripped of his US citizenship for lying about his past. Munich prosecutors say it falls on the German city to try him because he had been registered as living there after World War II. Question marks over the health of the octogenarian whose family say he suffers from a variety of ailments including kidney disease, arthritis and cancer -- dominated the months of legal wrangling that preceded his eventual deportation to Germany from his home in Cleveland, Ohio. Lawyers for Demjanjuk argued that the pain he would suffer on the transatlantic flight to Germany amounted to a form of torture and that he would likely not survive the flight. However, the United State Justice Department rejected the family's arguments and released four secretly filmed surveillance videos showing him apparently getting out of a car without difficulty. This contrasted sharply with the scene before his deportation when he was carried by federal agents in a wheelchair, moaning and sobbing, to be put on a plane to Germany. In this instance, he received an 11th hour reprieve. The day after his arrival at the Stadelheim prison near the southern city of Munich, medical officials there declared him fit enough to remain in custody. Deputy prison director Jochen Menzel said then that Demjanjuk was in strikingly good condition. "He is not typical for his age... he is in better shape than usual for an 89-year-old," he told rolling news channel N24.
have not in thirty f ive years. Demonstrators claimed the newly reelected Admadinejad's had stolen the election. Former prime minister, cleric and prime opposition candidate Mir Hussein Moussavi called on his supporters and fellow clerics to f ight the election results. In the f inal weeks of the race, his campaign had gained tremendous energy; packing the streets of Tehran day and night with his supporters. Yet, despite the protests of tens of thousands, the country's supreme ruler, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, declared the election valid. The Iranian street has not relaxed. Tensions have not relaxed. On the contrary, increasing world wide support by former Iranians and those who support democracy, has added to the momentum of the anti-government demonstrators. The Revolutionary Guards, many of them paid foreign citizens, have killed at least 17 people. Neda, a young woman, murdered with a bullet through the heart on the streets of Tehran, has become a symbol of what could become the new Iranian revolution.
“Mir-Hossein Mousavi remains defiant of the official result of the 10th presidential election.”
The government claims that a commission has been formed to investigate the circumstances of her death. The election and violence, the worst in 30 years, have revealed deep disagreements among Iran's ruling clerics. Even relatives of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a founder of the Islamic republic, have been detained. The international furor has grown steadily. President Obama has said he was “appalled and outraged,'' yet many feel his response has been less than supportive. The regime has switched to a harder line. On June 19, Ayatollah Khomenei’s Friday sermon supported the validity of the election results and warned protesters against further violence and demonstrations. By June 26, two weeks after the vote, the authorities appeared to have gained the upper hand. “For better or worse, they seem to have it under control,” wrote a friend from Iran. The demonstrations seem to have dissipated. A spokesman for the Guardian Council, a conservative 12-member body responsible for vetting elections, called the balloting "the healthiest in decades'' and proceeded to certify its results. Mr. Ahmadinejad, adding to government accusations that foreign agents played a role in the killing, said Ms. Agha-Soltan's death had been exploited by enemies "for their own political aims and also to distort the pure and clean image of the Islamic Republic in the
Protestors refuse to be silent despite the harsh actions the Iranian government has taken to stop them. world." In Washington, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi spoke at the National Press Club saying that the” struggle on the streets of Iran continued to reverberate around the world.” In Paris and across Europe, tens of thousands of Iranian exiles gathered to support the demonstrators in Tehran and demand an end to Iran's religion-based political system. And, perhaps symbolically, on July 4, Mir Hossein Mousavi, released documents “detailing a campaign of alleged fraud by supporters of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that assured his reelection.” Urged to form an independent political party, the ddefeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi is continue his opposition to the disputed election. Mir-Hossein Mousavi remains def iant of the off icial result of the 10th presidential election. He has gained support from the Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Hossein Mousavi-Tabrizi (no relation) who “heads the Association of Researchers and Tutors of the Qom Seminary, said today that establishing a party by Mousavi would be a worthy step, ILNA news agency reported. “Having (political) parties in any country is a prelude to establishing and strengthening democracy,” said the cleric. “If people such as Mousavi want to set up strong political parties, this will be a good and worthy step, and must be welcomed, for naturally these parties will operate within the framework of the law,” Mousavi-Tabrizi elaborated. “ Commenting from Israel Menashe Amir, Israel Radio's Farsi broadcaster, believes that majority of Iranians oppose the regime, and says many have “told him that if they had someone to lead them in their struggle, "it would be possible to topple the regime very quickly." “I keep saying that the events in Iran have not begun to die down; they've only just begun. This is because the Iranian people have proved that they f inally understand the nature of their regime, which is why their demand has become regime change, rather than reforms. “ My dear, dear friend, who speaks with the knowledge that family remains in Iran tells me “the news keeps changing daily. It is just a matter of time. It is clear that this will not just simply go on the wayside! …All outside on the rooftops every night at 10:30 PM yelling Allah o Akbar. It sounded so eery ... as if things are continuing to brew.”

JULY 10, 2009
Inside the courtroom where Bernard Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for bilking investors in a massive Ponzi scheme, victims alternately wept and cheered. But as news of the sentence trickled out, to the scrum of reporters gathered in Manhattan and across the city in the offices of foundations that lost millions with the disgraced f inancier, grumbles of "it's not enough," resonated as victims pondered what comes next. adoff's sentence was symbolic of the "cruelty" of his actions, according to US District Judge Denny Chin, but individuals and organizations are still scrambling to pick up the pieces of their shattered finances. Many victims hoping to reclaim some of their money are waiting for the outcome of pending bankruptcy proceedings. The trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investments Securities LLC, Irving H. Picard, has said victims may be entitled to money based on a simple "money in, money out" formula. "We take issue with that," said attorney Stephen A. Weiss, who is co-counsel for more than 100 victims who made investments with Madoff ranging from several hundred thousand dollars to $104 million. "The victims should be entitled full recovery to the extent of their account balance as of December 11," Weiss said.

Many of Madoff's are still trying to pick up the pieces of their lives and create as normal a life for themselves and their families as they can. The sentencing did not change those proceedings, but Weiss said his clients reacted to his sentencing with emotion. "A lot of people are curious about whether he's implicated anybody else," he said, and some expressed gratitude that Madoff will "never see the light of day." "Many are still trying to pick up the pieces of their lives and create as normal a life for themselves and their families as they can. A number of them are struggling to do that," he said.

Ehud Barak and George Mitchell Discuss Feds Seize $7 Million Madoff Future of Israel Settlement in NY Penthouse, Wife Forced to Move Out BY VOA
BY JPOST
Israel's defense minister is trying to downplay differences with the United States over the future of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. hud Barak told Israel Radio that, despite differences, the two countries are closer to an u n d e r s t a n d i n g t h a t wo u l d s a t i s f y off icials on both sides, while also focusing on a regional peace agreement. The U.S. has called for a freeze on settlement building but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to build within existing settlements to accommodate the "natural growth" of families. Barak met with special U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell in New York late Tuesday. Barak says a meeting between Mitchell and Mr. Netanyahu could take place later this month. Meanwhile, the head of the United Nations aid agency for Palestinian refugees, Karen Koning AbuZayd is calling on Israel to lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip. She says conditions in Gaza are getting worse because Israel is limiting the types of supplies allowed in. Israel has enforced a tight blockade on Gaza since the Palestinian militant group

Ruth Madoff walked out of the apartment carrying just a straw bag after she was told she couldn't take her coat, the official said Proceeds from a sale of the property and its contents could be used to help reimburse those who lost billions of dollars investing with Madoff before he confessed to running a Ponzi scheme. US Marshal Joseph Guccione said the marshals arrived at the property at noon with a court order permitting them to take custody of the apartment and to make anyone living there move out. Guccione said Madoff's wife Ruth had been advised in advance of the marshals' plans and was leaving the residence and surrendering all personal property.

Hamas seized control of the territory in 2007. The Israeli navy ordered a small ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza to turn back. Organizers of the group Free Gaza Movement, said the vessel left Cyprus bound for the Palestinian territory with 21 activists on board. The group has been intercepted twice before but made five successful missions to Gaza since last year.

"She will be leaving," he said at midday. "Restitution for the victims is the government's top priority." Typically, the US Marshals Service changes all locks and secures a property when it seizes a location. It was not immediately clear where she went to live. Ruth Madoff first argued with marshals who came to the apartment and asked to stay, then asked if she could take a fur coat with her, a federal official informed of Ruth Madoff's departure told The AP. The official wasn't authorized to discuss details of her encounter with marshals and spoke on condition of anonymity.

"And it was she who forfeited the furs last Friday as the publicly filed stipulation states." "These anonymous attacks on her should stop," Chavkin added. The 71-year-old Madoff was sentenced Monday to 150 years in prison. He pleaded guilty in March to charges that his investment advisory business was a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that wiped out thousands of investors and ruined charities. Authorities said Madoff had carried out the fraud for at least two decades before confessing to his sons in December that his investment business was a fraud and that he had lost as much as $50 billion. Last week, Ruth Madoff agreed to give up all of her possessions in return for a promise that federal prosecutors would not pursue $2.5 million not tied to the fraud. The money, though, is not protected from civil legal actions that might be pursued by a court-appointed trustee liquidating Madoff's assets or by investor lawsuits. Ruth Madoff broke her silence Monday when she said in a statement that her husband "stunned us all with his confession and is responsible for this terrible situation in which so many now find themselves." Before she agreed on a deal with the government to resolve her finances a week ago, Ruth Madoff had indicated through lawyers that she planned to try to keep the penthouse and an additional $62 million in assets as unrelated to the fraud. Before the fraud was exposed, the Madoffs had homes in Palm Beach, Fla., the south of France and the tip of Long Island along with the midtown Manhattan penthouse. They also traveled by private jet and yacht. The couple met at their Queens high school and married in 1959. Ruth Madoff worked with her husband when he started his financial business in 1960 and she reportedly still had an office near his when the fraud was exposed. Madoff has said he operated his fraud without the knowledge of his family.

Mayor Acts to Avoid Public School Administrative Meltdown BY MAXINE DOVERE Mayor Michael Bloomberg, discussed the on-going balagan in the New York State Senate, one result of which was the lapse of the 2002 school governance law. Saying “we here in the city are moving to protect our children,” he promised “we’ll do our best to keep them from becoming victims of the Albany train wreck.” o f ill the vacuum created by the Senate’s irresponsible inaction, a temporarily reconstituted Board of Education... will serve until Albany rectif ies its inaction and reauthorizes mayoral control, and I want to commend the city’s borough presidents and the Board members for coming today and acting expeditiously to help reconstitute this temporary Board… showing how to put the interests of our children ahead of narrow political gain – and I think that’s an example that I hope is not lost on Albany.” Dennis Walcott was elected president of the board, and Joel Klein reappointed as schools chancellor. The Mayor noted that Klein’s achievements “speak for them-

Under his leadership, our schools have become a model for big-city school systems across the nation.” “The Senate has, through its inactions, handed our City a current governance structure not too dissimilar from the governance structure of the Senate: one made up of multiple and conflicting lines of authority, certainly the formula for gridlock. The temporary School Board has attempted to sidestep the worst consequences, but as prudent as its actions today have been, bear this in mind: these are band-aids, not solutions. Now we all need to keep the pressure on the State Senate to act. So I commend the Board for also passing a resolution urging the Senate to enact, unchanged, the bill already passed by the State Assembly reestablishing mayoral control of New York City’s public schools. The Mayor stated his support for Governor Paterson, saying he is “taking the right course by continuing to call special sessions of the Senate until Senate members finally discharge their duties responsibly.” In addition to the school governance bill’s lapse, the Mayor listed a string of failures resulting from “the current paralysis in Albany” including the Senate’s “refusal to

FBI Releases NYPD Aims Anti-Terror Guide at High-Rise Owners Details of 2004 BY PAUL BUBNY Talks with Saddam Hussein ACCORDING TO FBI U.S. security records reveal that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein told U.S. federal agents in 2004 that he allowed the world to believe he had weapons of mass destruction because he did not want to appear weak to Iran. research institute, the National Security Archive, on Wednesday obtained declassified accounts of all but one of the FBI's 20 interviews and five "casual conversations" with Saddam that were conducted after his December 2003 capture by U.S. forces. In the released interview accounts, the former Iraqi president warned of what he called Iran's "fanatic" leaders. He denounced Osama bin Laden as "a zealot" and said he had no interactions with al-Qaida. He even acknowledged in a rare moment of regret that he should have permitted that United Nations to witness the destruction of Iraq's weapons stockpile in 1991. U.S. forces later transferred Saddam to Iraqi custody and he was hanged in December of 2006. The interview accounts do not address chemical warfare in the Kurdish areas of Iraq in 1987-1988, although an FBI progress report said that he was questioned on the topic.
A
Coincidentally with the implementation of the Bloomberg administration’s new construction codes, the Police Department issued a counter-terrorism handbook aimed at owners of mediumand high-risk buildings.
he 130-page report is intended to provide guidelines, which are not legally binding, for existing structures as well as future ones. In a preface, Mayor Michael Bloomberg writes that the report “provides sensible guidelines for balancing the important need for security and the realities of urban development. Prepared by the NYPD’s counter-terrorism bureau, the report, “Engineering Security: Protective Design for High Risk Buildings,” assigns the city’s buildings to either low-, medium- or high-risk categories, and provides recommendations for mitigating these risks. Although it does not identify any specific buildings as high-risk, the report says they’re structures which present several risk factors at once. These factors range from location to structural design. They include: high-visibility, nationally recognizable architectural designs; proximity to other high-risk buildings or to major infrastructure; a lack of controlled access; the inability to withstand specific blast pressures at certain distances; maximum occupancy of more than 10,000 people or height greater than 800 feet; and key financial or government tenants. During a presentation at NYPD headquarters on Wednesday, police commissioner Raymond Kelly told building owners that they could access a self-scoring system to
T
determine their own properties’ risk levels. Most buildings in the city fall within the low-risk category, the report states. The report’s recommendations cover perimeter security, access control and building design. In the area of perimeter security, the guidelines include conducting an analysis to determine the property’s vulnerability to vehicular attack, and constructing an anti-ram barrier that can withstand high impact but does not impede first responders’ access. For access control, “Engineering Security” recommends, among other things, that owners of high-risk buildings implement systems that incorporate identity authentication and turnstiles to enforce entry authorization; limit access to critical facilities; conduct background checks on everyone with access to sensitive security information or critical facilities; and install comprehensive closed-circuit television systems. Given the increasing risk of bioterrorism, the report counsels owners to locate HVAC system controls away from public areas and invest in advanced filtration systems. New buildings should incorporate “designs in which crowd surges in excess of 500 people are directed away from potential projectile sources, particularly glass atriums, windows and curtain walls,” the report states. Noting that many 9/11 survivors reported that their descent through the Twin Towers was slowed by firefighters running up those stairs, the report recommends stairwells at least 66 inches wide. The city’s building code mandates 44 inches. The report’s authors note that their recommendations for high-risk structures-which do not discuss the cost of implementing these measures--“significantly exceed
the requirements set out in municipal codes,” including the New York City Building Code and Fire Code, and may conflict with prevailing zoning resolutions and guidelines. “The longstanding governmental systems for regulating how buildings are built and renovated have not yet fully incorporated a method for differentiating the terrorist risks presented by specific structures or for mitigating the extreme risks at those structures.” For example, a chart of the 30 recommendations in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 2005 report on the collapse of the Twin Towers shows that 15 have not yet been incorporated into either the city’s building code or the International Building Code. “Additionally, the advent of computer-assisted design has allowed architects and engineers to develop highly optimized buildings that, while beautiful and efficient, are more vulnerable to catastrophic failure than older, less optimized structures,” the NYPD report states. That being said, the Department of Building’s new construction code, which took full effect on July 1, does impose stricter safety requirements than the previous code. Among these are stronger connectivity requirements for steel and concrete construction, emergency voice communication systems and emergency power generators in all new residential buildings 125 feet or higher and expanded requirements for automatic sprinkler systems. Since the new construction code took effect in July 2008, permit applicants had the option of following either that code or the 1968 building code, which was updated in 2007. As of last Wednesday, however, all projects going forward must comply with the new code.
Dialogue is Key for New US Muslim Envoy BY HILARY LEILA KRIEGER The Obama administration's new envoy to the Islamic world rejects the notion that US foreign policy is the key issue affecting Muslim attitudes toward America or that it needs to be changed to win hearts and minds. er tainly, foreign policy does come up, but the vast majority of young Muslims that I met were ver y interested in thinking about their futures" as well as engaging with their communities and the United States, said Farah Pandith, who worked at US embassies in Europe conducing Muslim outreach before under taking her new role this month.

US envoy to Muslim world Farah Pandith. Pandith's newly created position continues the Obama administration's policy of engagement with the Muslim world in order to defuse tensions and enlist support for American policies. Asked specifically about Israel, and the antagonistic view many Muslims
have toward the Jewish state coupled with the perception that it receives unequivocal support from America, Pandith merely replied that "the opportunity to engage in dialogue means that you're opening up an opportunity for conversation on a wide range of issues, and that may be one of the issues." Pandith, who served with the National Security Council in the George W. Bush White House before moving over to the State Department, declined to lay out any US positions on various Middle East conflict points, including Israel, deferring to the words of President Barack Obama and other political appointees. For her part, Pandith emphasized that "what we want to do is build dialogue" with the world's 1.2 billion adherents of Islam and to do that, "I think it's nuance. I think it's respect. I think it's listening.
I think it's being creative. And I think it's creating many different types of initiatives." Pandith, an Indian-born Muslim who grew up in Massachusetts, said her office would engage in a variety of outreach endeavors, including student exchanges, town hall meetings, entrepreneurial meetings and community projects, calibrated to meet the needs of a diverse and multi-faceted population. Pandith, whose official title is United States representative to Muslim communities, indicated she would not be serving as the Obama administration's representative to the 57-member state Organization of the Islamic Conference, a position created by the Bush administration.

Iranian Threat US Expects New Nuclear Agency Head to Take Hard Line on Iran BY HILARY LEILA KRIEGER The Obama administration welcomed Japan's Yukiya Amano as the next head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, as months of deadlock finally produced a leader seen as amenable to Washington's agenda. mano succeeds Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei as the head of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, a tenure marked by tensions with the US and Israel as officials in both countries questioned his commitment to stopping Iran's nuclear drive and expressed frustration at activism that often ran against their own approaches. "For the international community, the IAEA represents the premier international institution for promoting the safe and secure application of nuclear energy in the pursuit of prosperity, and working jointly on global challenges such as nuclear terrorism and proliferation," said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a statement released Friday. "In selecting Ambassador Amano, the member states of the IAEA reiterate their common resolve to collaborate on these pressing issues." The US had a strong preference for Amano, who has been viewed by American off icials as a technocrat will-

ing to pursuing a hard line on Iran's nuclear ambitions. Despite American support, Amano, in brief remarks to reporters after winning the contested vote, did not shy away from recalling the devastation US atom bombs wreaked on his country in pledging to do his utmost to prevent the spread of nuclear arms. Amano's allusions to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki pointed to a deep commitment to nonproliferation. Japan, which is separated from North Korea only by a narrow body of water, keenly shares the United States' concerns about Pyongyang's nuclear program. On Saturday, the US condemned North Korea's f iring of seven shortrange missiles earlier in the day, according to South Korean off icials monitoring the situation, continuing to ratchet up tensions with its neighbors and the West over its missile and nuclear program. "North Korea should refrain from actions that aggravate tensions and instead focus on denuclearization talks and implementation of its commitments" from 2005 to abandon nuclear weapons, said State Department spokesman Karl Duckworth. North Korea left the nonproliferation fold to develop a nuclear weapons pro-
gram on ElBaradei's watch and his agency later launched inconclusive probes on suspicions that it was interested in developing nuclear weapons. Thursday's decision by the 35-nation International Atomic Energy Agency board ended a tug of war on who should succeed ElBaradei, who saw his agency vaulted into prominence during a highprof ile 12-year tenure. Developing countries supported Amano's rival, South Africa's Abdul Samad Minty, considered ready to challenge the US and other nuclear power countries on issues such as disarmament - and which are generally supportive of Iran's claims to having a right to nuclear power. An initial session in March ended inconclusively and Thursday's meeting went down to the wire, with Amano winning only in the fourth round. That and the fact that Amano barely eked out his victory, just clearing the two-thirds majority needed, reflected a continuing divide between the two camps. The divisions have served as an obstacle in one of its key tasks - probing nations suspected of secret, possibly weapons-related, nuclear activities. While Amano was born after the US nuclear strikes that ravaged Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, he alluded to those events in brief comments to

Obama’s Ratings Strong Despite Weak Economy BY JIM MALONE The U.S. jobless rate rose to 9.5 percent last month the highest figure in 26 years. In the short term, the jobs report is a political setback for President Barack Obama and his economic policies. But the latest opinion polls suggest the president continues to hold public support despite the weak economy. resident Obama acknowledged the disappointing jobs report at the White House, but quickly urged Americans to be patient as the country waits for the economy to improve. "As I've said from the moment I walked into the door of this White House, it took years for us to get into this mess and it will take us more than a few months to turn it around," he said. The modest increase in unemployment was higher than most experts had predicted, says economist Stuart Hoffman. "The job market is still weak; it is still tough to f ind a job. Layoffs have slowed down. Not as many people are getting laid off, but there is still very little hiring," said Hoffman. Despite the struggling economy, Mr. Obama can take a measure of solace from recent public opinion polls. The latest survey from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut shows the public, for the most part, is staying behind the president despite the weak economy. "What we have found is that

Pres. Barack Obama comments on innovation and jobs at the White House in Washington. President Obama is still quite popular with the American people. He has a 57 percent job approval rating, which is quite healthy. It's down a little bit since when he took off ice, obviously, but that is not terribly surprising," said Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown. In other recent polls, Mr. Obama's approval rating ranges from 56-65 percent, with disapproval ranging from 3137 percent. Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown says his latest survey suggests that a number of people who had been reserving judgment about the president now disapprove of his job performance, in part

because the economy remains sluggish. Brown says the president's approval ratings have dropped by 8-10 points among some key voting groups since the last poll in early June. "And these are people and groups that disproportionately did not vote for him in November. We are talking about men, Republicans, evangelical white Christians and white Catholics. And so these people, who you would expect to not be supporters of the president based on history, have been giving him a tryout, so to speak, in their minds and they have decided he is not their cup of tea," he said. Opposition Republicans are taking some of the credit for that drop in support for the president, and for growing public concern about the national debt and def icit spending. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says the latest jobs report proves that the president's stimulus plan is not bringing about economic recovery. It is a theme Republicans like House of Representatives Minority leader John Boehner have been sounding for weeks. "I think the question is: where are the jobs? We all remember the trillion dollar stimulus bill. Democrats promised it would be about jobs, jobs and
jobs. And clearly, all it has turned into is about spending, spending and more spending," he said. Republicans also have been arguing that it is time that voters hold President Obama responsible for the weak economy and stop blaming his predecessor, former President George Bush. But pollster Peter Brown says that so far, Americans still seem to think the bulk of the responsibility for the economy rests with Mr. Bush, not President Obama. "So far, he seems to be able to convince the American people that the economic problems they are facing were not his fault, but the result of his predecessor, and that is why his job approval rating is so high. When people start blaming the economic conditions on him, his job numbers will come down," said Brown. The president faces another important domestic test beginning July 13, when the Senate Judiciary Committee opens conf irmation hearings for his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Sotomayor was nominated to replace recently retired Justice David Souter. If conf irmed, she would become the f irst Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court and only the third woman to serve on the high court.

High Court to Hear Atlantic Yards Appeal BY PAUL BUBNY The state’s highest court has agreed to hear an appeal of the May 15 ruling that upheld the Empire State Development Corp.’s use of eminent domain for the Atlantic Yards project. The New York State Court of Appeals will hear the appeal sometime in October, a time-frame that could jeopardize the tax-exempt status of a sale of bonds to finance construction on the Brooklyn mega-project’s basketball arena. ccording to the preliminary statement f iled in late June by Daniel Goldstein, founder of the group Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn, and his co-appellants, the appeal will ask the court to consider whether the public use requirement of the New York State Constitution imposes "a more stringent standard for takings than does the Fifth Amendment." It will also ask the court to determine whether the public use requirement of the state constitution "is satisf ied when a condemning authority"-that is, the ESDC--"determines that the public benef it to be gained by forcibly appropriating citizens’ homes and businesses is ‘not incidental or pre-textual in comparison with benef its to particular, favored private entities" without examining the nature and magnitude of the benefits that would accrue to the private entity.

Court of Appeals will come to the same conclusion." Meanwhile, the FCRC spokesman continues, "We are moving forward aggressively" following last week’s approval by the MTA and authorization by the ESDC. "We intend to be in construction before the end of the year." Even so, a June 15 letter to the high court by attorney Philip Karmel, a Bryan Cave partner who represents the ESDC, asked the court to either dismiss the appeal as groundless or hear it on an expedited brief ing schedule. Among other things, he argued that the activists’ delay in f iling an appeal puts the future of Atlantic Yards "in jeopardy." The reason is that the bonds used to f inance the arena’s construction must be floated by Dec. 31 of this year under IRS regulations. "Bonds must be marketed before they can be sold," Karmel wrote. He noted that given the current economic climate, "the continuing pendency of this litigation will likely adversely affect the pricing and marketability of any tax-exempt bond f inancing that is concluded." Karmel referred GlobeSt.com’s inquiries to the ESDC. A spokesman for the quasi-governmental agency tells GlobeSt.com, "At this point we do not comment on pending litigation but can conf irm that the Court of Appeals has granted our request for expedited review. ESD is pleased that the court recognized the importance of resolving this matter quickly."

Experts Warn of Commercial Property Foreclosure Crisis How to Protect Yourself and Your Property BY SHALOM WEINBERGER, WITH MAXINE DOVERE Residential foreclosures have been commonplace. Experts now say that a significant increase in the number of foreclosure s can be expected in commercial property centers. espite running leaner operations, securing bank extensions and much “maneuvering,” the rate of foreclosure in commercial real estate is expected to increase dramatically. “There is a larger share of owners that simply don’t have the money to pay their mortgages,” says Sam Chandan, president of Real Estate Econometrics in New York. Econometrics tracks the real estate market. In its recent reports, the company notes that commercial default rates have risen from 1. 62% in the fourth quarter 2008 to 2.25 % in first quarter of 2009. The increase is the highest default rate in last 15 years - and the worst has not yet to be seen.” Experts predicts a growth in the foreclosure rate to to 4.1% in fourth quarter of 2009, and, according to Chandan, an expected peak of 5.4% in fourth quarter of 2011. Weinberger notes that there are about 3.5 trillion dollars of commercial property in the United States. If Chandan is correct, he says, “more than 200 billion is in danger of being
D
foreclosed.” What is causing this crisis? Commercial spaces are going vacant as a result of the economic crisis. With unemployment at 10%, the customer base of many businesses is evaporating. “Everyone is going to WalMart, one of the few companies still making a profit. Purveyors of luxury goods are taking a distinct hit,” he said. Regent Atlantic has been engaged in the restructuring and extension of loans for commercial clients, and has found that loan extensions are available. “Lenders have no interest in owning your real estate or putting it back on their balance sheet. As long as a solution can be worked out with your banker, lenders will work with you to do a modification. What’s important is communication communication communication. “ Weinberger cautions that borrowers who wait for the last moment do run a much greater difficulty in securing an extension. “ Call your lender and be straightforward. Be open; if necessary, get a current appraisal, and show the lender area comparables that indicate real current value. Let your lender thoroughly understand your situation.” It’s a team effort Show your lender you are willing to do more work. Be sincere. If a lender feels that a borrower is trying to take advantage of the general economic situation, he will foreclose! Avoiding foreclosure is a problem that must be solved cooperatively, by both borrower and lender.
Lenders have no interest in owning your real estate or putting it back on their balance sheet. Case Study: Regent Atlantic recently a secured a two year extension of a 10 year CMBS (commercial mortgage backed securities) loan for an industrial warehouse property. The property was originally valued at 22,000,000, but had become vacant. When existing leases expired, no new tenants were in place. In order to avert foreclosure, the borrower developed a solid marketing plan to re-tenant
the property, agreed to a 2 per cent interest increase for the term of the extension, and paid a ½ per cent extension fee. He was able to retain the non recourse provisions of the original loan (that is, no personal liability was attached to the borrower). With a little creativity, and a bit of “Gorilla financing” Weinberger notes, averting commercial foreclosures may be possible.

Weak US Jobs Data Dashes Quick Recovery Hopes BY ROB LEVER

HASC Center & Capital One: Working Together on Behalf of the Community
Dampening hopes of an early recovery from recession, official figures showed US job losses surged to 467,000 in June, pushing the unemployment rate to a new 26year high of 9.5 percent. he Labor Department report, seen as one of the best indicators of economic momentum, reversed the improvement seen last month when job losses fell to a revised 322,000. President Barack Obama called the surge in job losses "sobering," but said there were continuing signs that the "recession is slowing." "As I've said from the moment I walked into the door, of this White House, it took years for us to get into this mess and will take us more than a few months to turn this around," the president said. Analysts had expected a smaller June number of 365,000 job losses, but a higher unemployment rate of 9.6 percent. The jobless rate in May was 9.4 percent. "On the whole, this was a very ugly labor market report, and there is no amount of lipstick that can improve its image," said Millan Mulraine, economic strategist at TD Securities. "The weakening job market conditions is continuing to pour cold water on wage growth, and if anything, this will invariably keep a lid on US consumer inflation for some time." Meny Grauman, economist at CIBC World Markets, said some analysts have gotten ahead of themselves in anticipating an economic recovery. "This shows the recession lives on in the United States," he added. "It's a question of the pace of decline and not recovery. The economy continues to contract at a slower pace than at the beginning of this year, but it's still a steep ride." Since the recession began in December 2007, the world's biggest economy has lost 6.5 million jobs and the jobless rate has risen 4.6 percentage points. "The disappointment was not just the size of the job losses but the fact that they were so widespread," noted Sal Guatieri at BMO Capital Markets. "The outlook is still uncertain so companies are reluctant to hire even if demand is picking up." Guatieri said the economy's troubles suggest a risk of a self-reinforcing downward spiral fed by weak demand that leads to job cuts and lower incomes, cutting consumer spending that is the lifeblood of the economy.

Job seekers use computers to look for work at an unemployment centre in New York City. "This is just one month's report but if it is followed by another disappointing report in July we might have to revise our figures downward for the third quarter" for the US economy. The report showed employment in manufacturing fell by 136,000 over the past month, boosting the total for the recession to 1.9 million job losses. The key services sector lost 244,000 jobs including 21,000 in retail last month, the report showed. All sectors showed job losses except education and health care, which gained 34,000 in June. Another disappointment was that average hours worked in the private sector sometimes seen as a proxy for economic activity fell 0.8 percent in June, while overall incomes were flat. This raised fresh fears about deflation that had ebbed in recent months. "Today's employment report had deflation thumbprints all over it," said economist David Rosenberg at Gluskin Sheff. Rosenberg said a broader measure of unemployment and underemployment rose to a new high of 16.5 percent. "Ponder that number for a minute one in six Americans that are able and willing to work are either unemployed or underemployed at the moment," he said. "That is certainly cause for pause, especially for the green shooters and inflation-phobes among us." The US economy shrank at a 5.5 percent pace in the first quarter, based on the lastest official estimate, following a 6.3 percent slide in the fourth quarter of 2008 representing the worst slump in decades, resulting from the collapse of a housing bubble and global credit squeeze.

The Jewish Voice New Student Loan Changes Spell Relief for Many

BUSINESS
BY CHRIS FICHERA Starting today, your monthly federal student loan payments can be linked to how much you can afford based on your salary and family size. he major downside of this of course is that you’re pushing your payments further into the future, so you will ultimately pay more in interest over the long run. But for people facing an immediate financial hardship, it can be a real help.You can use this calculator to see how much your monthly payments might be lowered under the income-based repayment plan. The plan is most advantageous for people with high levels of student debt. If you have lower student debt, you may want to take a look at an extended repayment plan.
T
Another feature of the plan is that after 25 years, whatever part of the loan that is unpaid is forgiven. Public servants can have their loans forgiven after 10 years of work in the field. Public service - as the U.S. Department of Education defines it - includes work in schools, government and many nonprofits. Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org, says that if you don’t

plan on spending the full 10 years in public service required for loan forgiveness, you may want to look at some of the upfront loan forgiveness programs that are offered for civil servants. Additionally, the interest rate on new undergrad subsidized Stafford student loans dropped today to 5.6 percent from 6 percent. It will continue to decline annually, reaching 3.4 percent b y 2012–which may seem a little unfair to students taking out loans today. With interest rates at rock bottom, now is also a great time to refinance existing Federal student loans if you have variablerate loans originated before July 1, 2006 (student loans since have been fixed-rate loans). Former students in the 6-month grace period following graduation can now refinance to 2 percent, graduates already repaying loans can consolidate to 2.5 percent, and PLUS loans can be consolidated at 3.38 percent.

Bad Boys, Bad Boys A group of American Jewish students take time away from studies to enjoy a day on the Ein Gev beach, on the eastern shore of the Kinneret, planning a relaxed Friday evening - until they are attacked by a drunken group of hooligans who beat them with everything from rocks to a wooden chair. A young Californian, identif ied only as “Isaac” is struck repeatedly with a metal pole, and needs to undergo scans to assess possible brain damage. The attack is called “brutal and unprovoked.” nterviewed by phone, the young victim said "This is Israel and I'm Jewish. I came here for many reasons. I always thought this is the place where I would be safe. Isaac managed to escape down the beach, where he was protected by an Arab family which were themselves assaulted by the gang. The family was hit with rocks, and the student was again under attack. A group of kibbutz members intervened, the police were called, and the boys were surrounded by the Arab family and the kibbutz members. Though the gang escaped, police had secured their license plate numbers and were able to trace them. "After hearing so many Israelis react with fury to what happened, and with everyone being so incredibly helpful, that's really comforting," Isaac said.

is perpetrated by 10 individuals who convince a number of elderly American citizens that they have won a lottery. Using what police termed sophisticated and devious” tactics the thieves managed to secure millions of dollars. The 10 suspects could be extradited to the US and could receive a maximum sentence of 20years in prison. And in Paris, French police arrest the criminals who had robbed Harry Winston more than a year earlier. The capture was made just before a buyer of the stolen property was scheduled to arrive – from Israel. What is going on in the Jewish State? Once it was said that only when Israel had a “normal” society, a full social range of the good and the bad, would it truly be a nation. Not everyone could be a professor or a doctor, some would drive a truck, some maintain the buildings; some would protect the land, others would bring forth its fruits. But, there was always the presumption that the society created would be just. While the creation of a national state was a primary drive, the expectation that that state would encompass a just society permeated the Zionist ideal. The Talmud expresses a passion for justice. It is a primary Jewish contribution to the human spirit. Making the world a more just and righteous place is a basic Jewish obligation -a expectation of a society that would abide by a “civil contract.” Have we as a people not experienced enough lack of civility in the lands where we had been sojourners?

Goodbye, Finally, to Iraq's Cities BY DANIEL PIPES American forces departed Iraqi cities last week to parades, f ireworks, and chants of "Out, America, out!" and "America has left! Baghdad is victorious!" hey left under a Status of Forces Agreement reached in November 2008 stipulating their "withdrawal from cities, towns and villages" by June 30, 2009. In addition, by December 31, 2011, "All U.S. forces are to withdraw from all Iraqi territory, water and airspace." The SOFA also grants Baghdad control over American military operations and it defines the U.S. role in such areas as Iraq's economy and education. Some urban U.S. fortif ications were turned over to Iraqis, others razed. As Capt. Andrew Roher put it, while standing on a commercial street in central Baghdad, watching his small base being obliterated, "Leave no trace is the goal." American troops have moved to tent and plywood "installations" (don't call them "bases") outside the cities. These changes signify, in short, that the Iraqis, despite six-plus years of U.S.-led occupation and their still requiring substantial U.S. support, are more-or-less f inally running their own country. For me, the American move to the countryside comes six years too late. Already in a 2003 article, "Let Iraqis run Iraq," I advised: "Turn power over

and, I predict, the massive American effort will rapidly dissolve, fail, and be forgotten. Iraqis will deal poorly with such problems as terrorism, SunniShiite tensions, Kurdish autonomy, Islamist ambitions, disappearing Christians, a fragile Mosul Dam, and an obsolete oil and gas infrastructure. Civil war remains a live prospect as sectarian f ighting returns. Current evidence indicates that Iraqis cannot even maintain their billions of dollars worth of U.S.donated military equipment. As an American, I say good luck to Iraq but good riddance to U.S. control of its cities, goodbye to oversight of the economy and schools, farewell to worrying about inter-tribal relations and the Mosul Dam, and adieu to responsibility for terrorists and their victims. Ironically, while occupation of Iraqi cities did deep and lasting damage to the United States, its benef icial impact on Iraq will likely be superf icial and transient. In all, a painful waste of resources is winding down none too soon.

Israel's Democratic Challenge BY CAROLINE GLICK It works out that retired Supreme Court president Aharon Barak - the man who shaped Israel's judiciary in his own image - doesn't care much for Jews. n a speech sponsored by the post-Zionist New Israel Fund, Barak said, "If you ask a Jew whether he supports equality with the Arabs, he will say: 'Certainly.' And if you ask if he supports kicking all the Arabs out of here, he will say: 'Certainly.' He sees no contradiction between the two." After denouncing Jews as stupid racists, Barak went on to explain that in his years on the bench, as his antiJewish views developed, he gradually abandoned his legal duty to ground his judgments in Israeli law. Instead, he engaged in a free-wheeling dispensation of justice in accordance with his radical political views. As he put it, "I remember the problems that were brought before me in my 20 years as a judge, when my line of thought was always administrative: How much power do the administrative bodies in the territories have? With time, as my knowledge of international law increased, my outlook began to change. Instead of talking about what is allowed and what is forbidden for Israeli forces, I thought about the rights of the people there: what rights they deserve." So by his own admission, during his

barred from appointing the attorneygeneral and the Knesset's legal adviser. Instead these off icials are appointed by civil service commissions controlled by retired Supreme Court justices and are consequently informally subordinate to the Supreme Court, rather than to the elected off icials they are supposed to be serving. This must end. Throughout Barak's tenure as Supreme Court president, he enjoyed unconditional support from the media. Israel's court reporters and their bosses renounced their primary journalistic duty to act as democracy's watchdog in favor of behaving as Barak's guard dog against all who would question the democratic, normative and legal bases of his actions on the court. For over a decade on a near daily basis, Barak's media servants castigated critics of his rulings as "anti-democratic," or "racists," or "anti-human rights," or "politically motivated." Rather than facilitate public debate, these compliant media leaders prevented discussion of Barak's actions and in so doing, assisted him in weakening the foundations of Israeli democracy still further. Now, in the aftermath of his anti-Semitic broadside, some of these media f igures are upset with Barak. But even as they condemn him for his anti-Semitism, these same lap dogs continue to guard his judicial record from scrutiny. Case in point is former Haaretz and Globes editor Mati Golan.

Nefesh B’Nefesh (www.nbn.org.il) is an organization committed to revitalizing North American and British immigration to Israel by removing or minimizing the f inancial, professional, logistical and social obstacles of Aliyah. The organization works in close cooperation with the Jewish Agency for Israel.
College grads from the New York area who will move to Israel this summer at the Jewish Agency Olim Farewell reception in June. BY JACOB DALLAL The Jewish Agency for Israel is seeking candidates for its new Campus Aliyah Fellowship, an initiative that will provide support to students who are contemplating immigrating to Israel and introduce the concept of Aliyah to other Jewish students on campus. Campus Aliyah Fellows will form “pre-Aliyah communities” and lead a social and support network for Jewish students interested in exploring the possibility of moving to Israel. Fellows are being sought on campuses with large Jewish populations, such as the Universities of Maryland, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Southern California (UCLA), Massachusetts and Yeshiva University. ach campus pre-aliyah community will hold group meetings to discuss different aspects of Aliyah and host
E
special events to help engage other students on campus. Members of the pre-Aliyah community will plan a subsidized pilot trip to Israel over winter break to learn about and see first hand employment opportunities, higher education institutions, and absorption services in Israel. The Campus Aliyah Fellows will work in conjunction with the campus Hillel, receive guidance and training from Jewish Agency Aliyah professionals in New York and receive a small stipend to subsidize events. “Many Jewish students on campus are thinking about moving to Israel after college,” said Liran Avisar, head of the Jewish Agency Aliyah Department in North America. “But they have no one with whom to share their hopes and concerns. The pre-Aliyah communities will provide students the information and support they need and the opportunity to meet others who are also considering this signif icant decision.”

JULY 10, 2009
NEWS IN REVIEW NEW YORK N.Y. FEDERATION CAMPAIGN FALLS 11 PERCENT The country’s largest Jewish federation announced that its 2008-09 fundraising campaign dropped 11.5 percent from the previous year. UJA-Federation of New York said it brought in $136 million, down from $153.7 million. Its announcement comes after the umbrella organization for the federation system, the United Jewish Communities, announced last week that the combined campaigns for the federations for 2008-2009 were up 1.3 percent over the previous year, but that total fund raising for the current year was off by 13 percent. Despite the decrease, the New York federation said it was encouraged by its numbers. While the general fund-raising campaign was down, the federation raised $215.3 million in total, including $60.5 million in Planned Giving & Endowments, for an overall increase of 1 percent. “Down campaigns are never easy, but by most accounts, down 11.5 percent is still extraordinary in this changed economic world," the president and CEO of the federation, John Ruskay, said in a news release. "Raising $136 million reflects the faith and recognition of the unique role of UJA-Federation in providing the infrastructure for caring, and Jewish education for the Jewish people locally and globally. "This year was exceedingly challenging for every nonprof it. Closing at $136 million is a huge accomplishment.”
STATUE OF LIBERTY OPENS CROWN TO VISITORS On July 4th, visitors to the Statue of Liberty were once again allowed to visit her crown. Visitors can now enter the statue's crown and watch the stunning view of lower Manhattan and New York Harbor for the f irst time since the September 11th terrorist attacks nearly eight years ago. The f irst visitors to the crown won a ticket through a newly-created lottery, which was created after off icials expressed safety concerns about the narrow staircase used to climb to the top.
BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK MOVES FORWARD The long-awaited Brooklyn Bridge Park is getting closer to becoming a reality. Crews are working to transform an old shipping terminal into an urban oasis, although the plan has its critics. "Construction is way underway at
Brooklyn Bridge Park," said Regina Myer, president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation. When complete, the park will stretch 85 acres along the Brooklyn waterfront near the iconic bridge. The park is being built where there was once a shipping terminal.
NATIONAL ALBANY CHAOS COULD TAKE A TOLL ON CITY BUDGET The state senator standstill in Albany is affecting more than just school governance in the city. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it is also causing f inancial problems in an already trying economic climate, which could force a worse recession. Bloomberg has asked Deputy Mayor Ed Skyler to pull together a list of city agencies that may face serious cuts and initiatives that may be postponed because of the lack of action in the New York State Senate. "I thought they would solve their problems two, three weeks ago," said Bloomberg. "I don't think anybody expected this to go on; yet, it does. Does it mean it's going to go on forever? Common sense says that they will have to at some point come up with a resolution. This is the fourth-largest state in the country and it's fundamentally not functioning."
EMPIRE LAUNCHES ORGANIC POULTRY LINE Empire Kosher poultry is launching lines of organic and antibiotic-free poultry. The Pennsylvania company announced last week that it is ready to roll out both lines nationally. "As we’ve seen demand for ABF and organic products grow in the non-kosher world, we decided to enter these markets with kosher products," CEO Greg Rosenbaum said in a statement. ABF designates poultry that is not injected with any antibiotics or hormones. Organic chicken also adheres to ABF standards, as well as U.S. Department of Agriculture standards for organic poultry. Empire also announced last week that new equipment design would enable the company to increase its peak production volume from 350,000 chickens per week to nearly 800,000.
SEATTLE-AREA JEWISH SOLDIER KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN A Jewish soldier from the Seattle area was killed in a Taliban attack on a U.S. army base in Afghanistan. Pvt. Aaron Fairbairn, 21, of Aberdeen, Wash., was killed last Saturday when an insurgent drove a truck full of explosives into the base in eastern Afghanistan and detonated it.
Fairbairn's stepfather, David Masters, made the news public using Twitter shortly after receiving the news in a visit by an Army chaplain, according to reports. The Defense Department has not yet released the identities of the two soldiers killed in the attack.
ISRAELIS HELD FOR SCAMMING ELDERLY AMERICANS Ten Israelis are being held for allegedly scamming elderly Americans out of $30 million. A Tel Aviv court on Monday ordered the accused members of the crime ring, who were arrested Sunday, to be held for eight more days. The three leaders of the crime ring and seven of their employees who were arrested, as well as dozens of other Israeli employees, allegedly defrauded retirees of their life savings in a telemarketing scam, Ha'aretz reported.
GROUPS SET MAJOR IRAN PUSH FOR SEPTEMBER U.S. Jewish groups are planning a mass push in September to press for Iran sanctions. The groups are planning a Washington Day on Sept. 10 that would bring together 300 to 500 leaders from across the United States to press for sanctions legislation, as well as a mass protest outside the United Nations in New York City on Sept. 24 -- about the time Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is set to address the General Assembly. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations established a working group last month to examine how the post-June 12 elections crisis in Iran would affect efforts to isolate the hard-line regime as long as it sustained its suspected nuclear weapons program. The elections, widely regarded as rigged, have sparked a major protest movement.
INTERNATIONAL U.S. COMPETITORS IN ISRAEL FOR MACCABIAH GAMES More than 750 competitors from the United States arrived in Israel to compete in the 18th Maccabiah Games. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat welcomed the delegation at a reception over the weekend. Another 150 American participants are scheduled to arrive to participate. Jason Lezak, the Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer, attended the welcoming event. He opted to participate in the Maccabiah instead of competing in the World Championships.
SHARANSKY MEETS THE NEWEST ISRAELIS FROM ETHIOPIA In his f irst off icial appearance since being elected Jewish Agency Chairman, Natan Sharansky welcomed 75 new immigrants from Ethiopia who just arrived in Israel Wednesday (July 1) at a ceremony at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The new immigrants, who received their new Israeli ID cards at the ceremony, will move to Jewish Agency absorption centers in Beersheva and Safed, where they will learn Hebrew, the rudiments of Western life and culture, and become acquainted with Israel and Jewish heritage. Many will be reunited with family members who immigrated to Israel years ago.
IRAN SHUTS NEWSPAPER CHALLENGING AHMADINEJAD The crackdown on the opposition in Iran continued on Wednesday, with authorities banning a newspaper allied to presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi after he denounced Iran's government as "illegitimate" because of claims of voting fraud in last month's election, a reformist political group said. The closure of the daily Etemad-eMelli, or National Confidence, is another blow by officials seeking to block media and Web sites critical of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose disputed June 12 re-election was confirmed this week by Iran's powerful Guardian Council.
MUBARAK: SHALIT IS ‘FINE’ Kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit is "f ine," Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said. "I believe there were contacts [with Shalit] and that soldier Shalit is fine, and I hope that in the upcoming period, maybe, not in the long term, the issue of soldier Shalit will end," Mubarak told journalists following a meeting Tuesday with Israeli President Shimon Peres. Mubarak also told Peres during the news conference that Israel will have to "take diff icult decisions" in order to make peace with the Arab world." "The peace process cannot handle another failure," Mubarak warned. He alluded to the Arab peace initiative, which offers peace with Israel in exchange for Israel returning to 1967 borders. "The solution is one of two states: a Palestinian people on one hand, an Israeli people on the other. Israel will be a Jewish state and the Palestinians will have an Arab state, and discussions on that matter have ended," Peres said. "Israel has no intention to control the Palestinian people, to create more settlements, to conf iscate more land." Prior to his meeting, Peres told Ha'aretz that his meeting was not meant to overshadow the work of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

EDUCATION

Medical School for Galilee 'Five Years Away' BY JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH Although Safed Mayor Ilan Shochat predicted on Monday that the country's fifth medical school would open in his city in October 2011, most participants in the International Workshop in Medical Education in the 21st century suggest that the date is at least five years away. he decision to establish another medical school - the first new one in 35 years, since Ben-Gurion University of the Negev founded its faculty of health sciences - was approved recently by the Council for Higher Education and the cabinet to prepare for the looming shortage of physicians in the very near future. Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa (which already has a medical school) have said they will apply to the public tender to establish such an educational institution. It takes seven years to produce an ordinary MD and more to create a specialist or sub-specialist. Despite disagreement on the timeline, participants in the workshop at the Canaan Spa on Mount Canaan, near Safed, were of the same opinion, that much must be done to prepare for a fifth school, and that while the government will provide some funding and construction of a campus will have to be financed by foreign and local philanthropists, a "visionary and charismatic leader"

The two-day conference was organized by the Israel National Institute for Health Policy and Health Services research, which is chaired by Prof. Shlomo MorYosef, director-general of the Hadassah Medical Organization. It is being attended by some 70 medical educators, hospital directors, university representatives and medical education experts from the US and Canada. The discussions are focused not on the technical Many are ambitious to attend medical school in details involved in Galilee and have long awaited such a college. establishing the Galilee medical school but on the massive who knows how to push through such a massive project is needed to bring the fifth med- changes required in medical education to produce capable physicians. ical school into fruition, said Prof. Shimon They will have to cope with the changing Glick, a former dean of BGU's faculty of health sciences and a retired senior Health patient/doctor relationship, the information and medical technology revolution, the Ministry official.

As most of the existing medical schools decades.
are fixed in their ways and very conservative about change, most speakers suggested it would be beneficial to "start from scratch" rather than just expand the graduating classes of four medical schools. President Shimon Peres, who has for decades been promoting the development of the Galilee and Negev and was the first to call for a fifth medical school in the North, flew to Safed by helicopter from a meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to deliver an opening speech at the conference on Monday. Peres called for the establishment a "medical empire" in Israel to be an inspiration and a help to the rest of the world. The founders of the state, including David Ben-Gurion, allowed themselves "such small dreams" such as a million Israelis and economic independence. At this stage in its history, said Peres, "don't be stingy in your vision... We have to live from our brains and innovation." Deputy Health Minister Ya'acov Litzman disclosed that he had already discussed with Netanyahu the idea of an Israeli company that would develop and manufacture vaccines against diseases that threaten Israelis, including the flu, rather than be dependent on foreign companies to do so. He urged that the government do more to prevent the emigration of young Israeli scientists and doctors and to bring back Israeli emigrants who have had prominent careers abroad.
UJC/Jewish Federations of North America Announces the Selection of Jerry Silverman as New President and CEO NEW YORK, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- UJC/Jewish Federations of North America reported today that Jerry Silverman will join the organization as president and CEO. UJC/Jewish Federations represents 157 Jewish Federations and 400 network communities, which raise and distribute more than $3 billion annually for social welfare, social services and educational needs. The Federation movement, collectively among the top 10 charities on the continent, protects and enhances the well-being of Jews worldwide through the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (charity and social justice) and Torah (Jewish learning). ilverman is a highly experienced leader in the North American Jewish community and longtime corporate executive. As CEO of the Foundation for Jewish Camp since 2004, Silverman has been extremely successful in building the quality, availability and demand for Jewish summer camps by creating partnerships with key philanthropists and federations, increasing scholarships for campers, and providing leadership development opportunities for camp directors. Silverman came to the Foundation after highly successful careers at the Stride Rite Corp. and Levi Strauss & Co. Over a span of almost 25 years, Jerry Silverman served in various executive leadership capacities at Levi Strauss and Stride Rite. He worked on many successful consumer brands, including Levi's, Dockers, Stride Rite
S
Children's, and Keds. Before becoming the President of the Foundation for Jewish Camp, Jerry's most recent position was President of the Keds Corporation. He has run both wholesale and retail operations and was noted for his leadership, outstanding work ethic, and ability to build strong teams. Kathy Manning, who led the CEO Search Committee and is the nominee to chair the UJC Board of Trustees, said she and the committee were excited to have Silverman joining the Federation system. "We are thrilled to have such an outstanding individual to lead UJC/Jewish Federations of North America," Manning said. "Jerry has proven himself to be a visionary and results-oriented leader who in f ive short years has built a strong team, worked in partnership with his board which in turn has brought the Jewish camp community together and put Jewish camping on the communal map. His personal qualities, his engagement with the Jewish world and his extensive success in the business world, make Jerry someone who is uniquely poised to build on UJC's accomplishments and partner with Federations to be the best philanthropic forces we can be." Current UJC Chair Joe Kanfer welcomed Silverman's arrival, saying he will drive UJC's strategic priorities of delivering ever-greater service and value to strengthen Federations. "We are proud to have Jerry on board," Kanfer said. "Jerry will build
on our momentum and further our change efforts in order to take our Federation system to the next level to better meet the challenges and the opportunities of the 21st century." The search for a new CEO began one year ago, when current President and CEO Howard Rieger announced he would be stepping down after completing his f ive-year term this August. The search committee represented the entire Federation system, with members hailing from leadership positions in all city size Federations across all regions. During the search, the committee gathered broad and extensive input from executives and lay leaders across the system. The committee unanimously recommended Jerry Silverman for the new President and CEO of UJC/Jewish Federations of North America. The committee selected Silverman in part because of his passion for Jewish future, his commitment to continuous learning and growth, and his focus on customer centricity. These are critical qualities for leading the Federation system effectively, Manning said. At the Foundation for Jewish Camp, Silverman led the only national organization dedicated to non-prof it Jewish resident camps responsible for raising awareness and building support for Jewish summer camps. As head of the Jewish camping umbrella organization, Silverman, together with the Board and staff, developed a new strategic plan with a clear mission and focused strategies that would add signif icant value to
Jewish camps across North America. The plan focused on motivating consumers and funders, including partnership with Federations to provide incentives to campers, such as matching grants that also helped Federations drive new initiatives. "Jerry once told me that his job is to put Jewish camps front and center as they are on the front lines doing the heavy lifting -- if the camps are doing a great job, and more and more kids are having great Jewish experiences, then his organization will have been successful," Manning said. "The same kind of approach will help UJC lead the Jewish Federations of North America to become an even more effective philanthropic force in the years to come." Silverman says he is committed to the mission of strengthening Federations and our collective system to better meet Jewish needs and grow the Jewish future, just as he was concerned about creating memorable Jewish experiences and Jewish identity through camping. "I feel humbled and privileged by this opportunity," Silverman said. "I was blessed to begin my career in the public sector with the Foundation for Jewish Camp and their visionary leadership. During my due diligence period, I had the opportunity to meet and solicit advice from many Federation leaders from across North America. Their wisdom and vision inspired me and gave me insight to what amazing possibilities we have as a Jewish people and as a collaborative and unif ied system."

Never click on links in any e-mail, from any institution, that offers to take you directly to your savings, checking, or other financial account.. BY JEFF FOX I've been getting e-mail phishing scams for several years and thought I'd seen it all. But this week I received an email that wasn't the usual "We're doing a security check and need your password" scam. he e-mail appears to come from PayPal, a popular institution often imitated by scammers. What's unusual is that it seems to be a confirmation of a purchase, for more than $400, paid from my PayPal account. There's even a realistic-looking transaction, including the name and address of the person whom you're supposed to assume made the purchase. I picked this up as a scam fairly quickly because I've trained myself to recognize such cons. But I suspect that a consumer fearful that their PayPal account had been incorrectly charged would hastily follow the scam's instructions to click on the “CANCEL TRANSACTION” link to sign into their account. If that link were still active (it wasn't when I tried it), doing that would give the criminals the information they need to immediately access the account and drain its
T
funds. (Based on our most recent State of the Net Survey, we estimate that, over the past two years, about 7 million American consumers gave such phishers personal information and that, nationally, phishers stole nearly half a billion dollars from online consumers.) Here's how to avoid becoming a cybervictim: • Never click on links in any e-mail, from any institution, that offers to take you directly to your savings, checking, or other financial account. • Remember that most reputable financial institutions never send e-mails asking you to access your account. No matter how genuine such an e-mail may look, it's probably bogus. • To report a phishing e-mail forward it to the Anti-Phishing Working Group • For free tips on how to stay safe online, visit Consumer Reports Online Security Guard • To find the best software for protecting your computer, purchase a good Security Software Suite.

5 Tips To Help You Get In Shape This Summer… BY MARK AND KAREN STEINFIELD 1) DO A FEW PUSHAWAYS – As in push away from the table. Eating a few less calories and making better food choices can go a long way toward helping you succeed in the gym. Of course, speak with a fitness or health professional before starting any diet or nutritional program. 2) MAKE AN APPOINTMENT – You wouldn’t skip an appointment with your doctor. So, treat your exercise session like an “appointment.” Put it in your calendar and book it. Because once it’s booked, you are committed.
3) SHOW UP – 99.9% of working out is just showing up. As a matter of fact, right now would be a good time to come down. 4) DRINK UP! – Drinking lots of water before, during, and after exercising will help your body deal with the new demands that you are demanding from it. 5) SUPPORT GROUP – Don’t sweat it alone. Take a group exercise class. They keep your exercise routine from becoming routine by adding variety to your workout while stimulating your mind and body in new ways.

Traditions: Why Do We Mourn? BY RABBI YEHUDAH PRERO GUEST CONTRIBUTOR: RABBI ARYEH WINTER In the Shulchan Aruch, Orech Chayim 751 it is said that during the three week period between the fast of the 17th of Tamuz and the fast of the 9th of Av, Jews are supposed to reduce rejoicing. This law is derived from the Gemora in the tractate of Ta'anis (26b) which states that "When Av enters, we are to lessen our rejoicing." uring these "Three Weeks" we do not have weddings, do not take haircuts, and do not listen to music. During the time between the beginning of the month of Av and the fast on the 9th, we do not eat meat, drink wine, and for many purposes,
D
may not bathe. (For exact application of these laws, please consult your Halachik authority. -YP) These are some of the examples of the signs of mourning that we demonstrate during this period of time. If we take a step back from our actions, and think about what we are or are not doing we should ask ourselves "Why are we doing this, what are we to learn from this?" The laws of mourning observed during the "Three Weeks" are not meant solely as a demonstration of mourning for a destruction and exile that occurred 2000 years ago. This period of time is supposed to remind us that we, as individuals and as a nation, are not complete as long as there are Jews who are scattered all over the world in exile. We have to internalize this exile and the effect it is to have on us. However, the process does not end here. We also have
to try and understand what led to this terrible destruction, and how we can better ourselves so that we can merit being brought out of this exile that our evil deeds led us to in the f irst place. Only a stronger commitment to the Torah and our religion will bring the redemption. Rabbi Yonason Eibshitz,
(1690-1764) wrote that the verse "And the land will be f illed with the knowledge of G-d as the waters cover the sea" is a prerequisite to the coming of Moshiach and our eventual redemption. This surely increases our duties in the area of our responsibility to hasten the arrival of our redemption. We have been assigned a task: to do what we can to hasten our redemption. May we all merit to be inspired by the solemnity of these Three Weeks, to realize the totality of the loss we have suffered, and to act on all of these feeling, so that we can be returned to a rebuilt Jerusalem and Temple speedily, in our days. We now know why we fast. May we merit to all take this lesson to heart, and see the Temple rebuilt speedily, in our days.

I believe it is best understood in (This and all, translations, The Judaica Press the context of the incredible respect we are obligated to demonstrate to our Torah scholComplete Tanach) It is hard to imagine that we fell so far. ars and teachers. The Rambam (1135-1204) After all, the participants in these horrendous codifies this requirement in Hilchot Talmud activities heard Hashem speak at Mt. Sinai.

It seems that Pinchas directly witnessed the penultimate publicly thing heavy at the same time that one sees displayed immoral behavior of a Jewish man one's father carrying something heavy, one (latter identified as “Zimri the son of Salu, should help one's Rabbi first.

Seemingly upon witnessing this first. Even if one's father was [learned but] prelude to dissolute activity, Pinchas “arose not as learned as one's Rabbi he takes precefrom the congregation, and took a spear in dence in the returning of a lost item. There is no honor or awe greater than that his hand” in preparation for executing this lewd and licentious couple. The Talmud, which one's Rabbi deserves. The Sages said however, offers three possibilities as to what that one should hold one's Rabbi in awe as one who holds G-d in awe, and that anyone exactly Pinchas saw: And it is also written, And Phineas, the who disagrees with his Rabbi is like someson of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, one who disputes G-d, as it is written, saw it. Now, what did he see? — Rab said: "...when they contended against the L-rd." Anyone who quarrels with his Rabbi is He saw what was happening and rememDedicated to the sacred memory of my sister-inlaw, Ruchama Rivka Sondra alehah hashalom and the refuah shlaimah of Sarah bat Rachel and Yosef Shmuel ben Miriam.

like someone who quarrels with G-d, for it is written, "...because the children of Israel contended with the L-rd, and He was sanctified by them." Anyone who resents his rabbi or grumbles against him is like someone who grumbles against G-d, for it is written, "...your murmurings are not against us, but against the L-rd." Anybody who speaks against his Rabbi is like someone who speaks against Gd, for it is written, "And the people spoke against G-d and against Moses." (Translation, O’Levy, with my emendations to improve readability) The Rambam clearly set a high, but accessible, bar of judgment as to the full extent of our obligations toward our Torah scholars. Building upon the foundation of this formulation, it is quite safe to say that under normal situations, Pinchas surely would have sought out Moshe’s sagacious counsel. Yet, in the case of Zimri and Cozbi, Pinchas was thrust into the realm of competing claims: He knew full well that he was commanded to give Moshe Rabbeinu the greatest possible respect. He also knew, however, that he had an even greater obligation to serve Hashem, since both Moshe and he were mandated to do so. (Compare Rashi’s, 1040-1105, explanation to Sefer Vayikra 19:3 regarding honoring one’s parents and keeping Shabbat.) In such an instance, honoring Hashem takes precedence over honor-
ing even His most beloved servant – the Torah scholar. Therefore, Shmuel opines that this was what Pinchas saw: “'There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the L-rd': whenever the Divine Name is being profaned, honor must not be paid to one's teacher.” That is, Pinchas saw that the moment called for a temporary suspension of the rule of honoring one’s rebbi in deference to the meta-obligation of honoring Hashem. Nothing, not even awe and respect for one’s rebbi, takes precedence over preventing a chilul Hashem. As the Rambam formulates it: It is permitted to set aside something which is forbidden, even in one's Rabbi's presence. For example, if one sees someone unknowingly doing something forbidden, one is allowed to tell him that it is forbidden, even if one's Rabbi is present and even without his permission, because whenever there is a desecration of G-d's Name, we don't worry about the honor of a Rabbi. This is talking about a situation when something has already happened... (Ibid., 5:3) Given all of the above, it is clear that the veneration and awe that we are obligated to demonstrate toward our scholars and sages is a hallmark of the authentic Torah personality. Even the case of preventing a chilul Hashem when one’s rebbi is present is, in actuality, a

INTRODUCING PRIVATE COLLECTION JASMINE WHITE MOSS
The New Calling Card Fragrances For Men
The vision of two Lauder women, separated by a generation, merged into one intoxicatingly fresh new fragrance. BY ERIN THAYER For decades, an unfinished formula for an extraordinary fragrance begun by Mrs. Estée Lauder remained locked in the archives at the famous fragrance house, International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF). Estée conceived Formula #546AQ, as it was known, as a new way to convey sparkling freshness balanced with sophisticated elegance and a distinctive signature. However, it was left unfinished in her lifetime and was gradually forgotten for many years. ften inspired by her grandmother’s work, Aerin Lauder, Estée Lauder Senior Vice President and Creative Director, was looking back through the archives and rediscovered this lost fragrance. She fell in love with its unexpectedly lively, modern spirit and decided to complete the fragrance, using today’s advanced technology and the finest natural ingredients direct from France. Working with the same passion and clarity of vision as her grandmother, Aerin experimented note by note, accord by accord, with several Jasmine essences and an exclusive White Moss accord developed for her alone. The result, after over a year and a half of work, was a complex, elegant chic fragrance that layers textures for a tone on tone effect. Combining luminous freshness and youthfulness balanced by a sense of luxurious elegance, Private Collection Jasmine White Moss is a tribute to past and present and a f irst in the history of fragrance and for Estée Lauder.
O
Jasmine White Moss is comprised of an opulent white bouquet surrounded by delicate moss, rich woods and 15 100 percent pure natural fragrance Absolutes, many of them provided by IFF’s raw material company, Laboratoires Monique Remy (LMR), located in the south of France. The fresh sparkling top notes include Mandarin, and Absolutes of Black Currant Bud (crisp and fruity, a new quality captured for the very f irst time with a new extraction technique), Galbanum and Bergamot. The elegantly complex middle notes include Jasmine Sambac Absolute selected by Aerin and subtly blended with the Ylang Ylang and Jasmin India Absolutes Estée herself had chosen, plus Violet, Orange Flower Absolute and Orris. Warm modern base notes include Absolutes of Patchouli Heart, Vetiver and White Moss Mist (an Estée Lauder exclusive). Private Collection Jasmine White Moss is the third fragrance introduced by Aerin, joining Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia and Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang. THE ADVERTISING The advertising for the fragrance was photographed by Craig McDean and features Aerin smiling and looking relaxed and elegant in a vintage white jersey Halston dress with a beautiful white flower in her hair. The advertising concept was created by Aerin in collaboration with Doug Lloyd of Lloyd and Co.

Art News The Museum of Modern Art presents James Ensor, the first exhibition at an American Institution to feature the full range of his work in over 30 years, through Set. 21. James Ensor (Belgian, 1860-1949) was a major figure in the Belgian avant-garde of the late 19th century and an important precursor to the development of Expressionism in the early 20's. In both respects, he influenced generations of later artists. Ensor's daring, experiential
work ranges from traditional subject matter such as still life, landscape, and religious symbolism to more singular visions, including fantastical scenes with masks, skeletons, and other starting figures. He made work in a wide range of styles and dimensions, from largescale paintings and drawings to tiny prints of only a few inches. The exhibition elucidates Ensor's contribution to modern art, including his innovative and allegorical use of light, his prominent use of satire, his deep interest in carnival and performance. Approximately 120 of Ensor's paintings, drawings, and prints are included in the show, most of which date from the artist's creative peak, 1880's to the mid-1890's. Music Music As the first orchestra in New York to present professional classical music concerts for children (1948), its Happy Concerts for Young People at Avery Fisher Hall have provided over one million school children a first acquaintance with great music and have been broadcast nationwide to hundreds of thousands of homes. These concerts have won the coveted Peabody Award for outstanding and venturesome programming. The Orchestra recorded three works from the Happy Concerts repertoire "Peter and the Wolf," "Gerald McBoing Boing," and "A Zoo Called Earth," garnering a Grammy Award nomination. The orchestra has released a live-performance DVD of a "Lolli-Pops" concert--'The Orchestra--A Happy Family,' which has won critical acclaim. Notes on the Program; Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) of Abby Whiteside Foundation; In early 1819, the publisher and composer Anton Diabelli came up with a scheme to generate publicity for his publishing firm. He wrote a waltz and sent it to the leading composers of the Austrian Empire, among them Franz Schubert, Carl Czerny, and Beethoven. The waltz was accompanied by a request: that they each compose one variation based on the waltz, so that it might be published as a collective patriotic set. The profits from sales were to be used to aid orphans and widows of the Napoleonic Wars. 50 composers responded in a timely matter.

US Expects New Nuclear Agency Head to Take Hard Line on Iran...Continued from page 11 rienced Hiroshima and Nagasaki." Now his country's chief delegate to the IAEA, Amano was previously his country's senior off icial for disarmament and related issues. He has also chaired key IAEA meetings during his more than three-year tenure as chief IAEA delegate. He still needs to be conf irmed by the board, in a session planned for Friday, and in September by the full IAEA general assembly. IAEA off icials suggested both meetings would rubber-stamp the choice of Amano, saying it would be unheard of for them to overturn Thursday's vote results. Amano collected 23 votes, to 11 for Minty - just giving him the two-thirds majority needed for victory. Amano touched on the North-South
divide gripping the agency in his postsession comments. Saying he would do his utmost to prevent nuclear proliferation, Amano, 62, appealed for "solidarity of all the member states - countries from North, from South, from East and West" to achieve that goal. Amano will be taking control of the IAEA at a particularly diff icult time. Its nuclear investigations of Iran and Syria are both deadlocked, and it has no overview at all of North Korea, which is forging ahead with its nuclear arms program. The Iranian investigation in particular has been affected by the deep divide between Western nations, including the United States, and developing countries that accuse the West of being indifferent
to the problems of poorer countries. Iran is under three sets of UN Security Council sanctions for refusing to freeze its uranium enrichment program - an activity that Teheran insists is meant to generate nuclear fuel but which can also be used to produce f issile material for nuclear warheads. Representatives of some developing nations have privately said they share Western fears that Iran may seek to use enrichment to develop weapons. But as a bloc, they tend to support Iran's argument that it has a right to an enrichment program for generating energy. The developing bloc also questions the West's assertions that Iran in the past ran experiments and drew up plans reflecting its interest in nuclear weapons, backing Teheran's dismissal of
US and other intelligence pointing to such activities. ElBaradei steps down in November and the US and its backers had backed Amano as a man sympathetic to their focus - nonproliferation. Minty, in contrast, was generally seen as ready to give more weight to demands by the developing countries pushing the US and other nuclear weapons states to disarm. John Bolton, the US ambassador to the United Nations under the previous administration, hailed Amano's victory in comments indirectly critical of Elbaradei. "I think he will reduce the politicization of the IAEA," he said. "That alone will bring back things into equilibrium."
its wake. The good news is that we can rise above our rebellious natures and give Hashem and our sages the proper honor and dignity they deserve. We can properly observe His Torah as defined by our scholars and thereby bring about a kiddush Hashem (sanctification of G-d’s name). Our G-d-given ability to conquer our passions and control improper behavior traits was first pointed out to Cain at the very dawn of the creation of mankind (Sefer Bereishit 4:5-7): But to Cain and to his offering He did not turn, and it annoyed Cain exceedingly, and his countenance fell. And the L-rd said to Cain, "Why are you annoyed, and why has your countenance fallen? Is it not so that if
you improve, it will be forgiven you? If you do not improve, however, at the entrance, sin is lying, and to you is its longing, but you can rule over it." (Emphasis my own) Based upon the Almighty’s response to Cain, it is clear we have the inherent ability to rule over any desire to rebel against G-d and His Torah scholars. While this may be a formidable task, we “can rule over it,” be mekadash shame shamaim (sanctify G-d’s name), and rise to unheralded spiritual heights. In this sense, may Pinchas always be our model.

Parashat Pinchas...Continued from page 35 demonstration of the reverence we have for our spiritual leaders since they, too, are duty bound to honor Hashem. Therefore, by honoring our Creator, we are actually honoring our teachers who have taught us to respond in this fashion. I believe we are now ready to ask two difficult, yet necessary, questions: “Why are our shul rabbis, and even our gedolim, so often maligned and treated with disdain and disrespect?” and “Why do so many people act in a dismissive manner toward these leaders when their purpose is to enable us to spiritually rise and grow in our respect for, and practice of, Torah and Mitzvot?” In the time honored Jewish tradition, “I have bad news and good news” in answering these ques-
tions. The bad news is that we have been mistreating our Torah sages for a very long time. In fact, even a cursory reading of the Torah teaches us that we rebelled against Hashem Himself! Thus we read in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers 5:4): “With ten acts of rebellion did our forefathers rebel against the Omnipresent One blessed be He in the desert, as it says in the Torah [Sefer Bamidbar 14:22]: ‘And you rebelled against me these ten times and you did not listen to My voice.’” (Translation my own) As a result, Hashem labeled us an “am keshay oref ” (“a stiff-necked people”) no less than five times – clearly demonstrating His disfavor with this behavior attribute and the actions it brought, and continues to bring, in

Previously Russia had only allowed the United States to ship non-lethal military supplies across its territory by train. The two sides also signed an agreement to resume bilateral military cooperation suspended last August over Moscow's war in Georgia, an event which sent ties plummeting to a post Cold War low. But amid the smiles and expressions of goodwill, the US plan to install missile defence facilities in the Czech Republic and
Poland -- which Russia says threatens its security -- remained a major sticking point. "The discussions on missile defence are proceeding with great difficulty because the approaches are very different," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said, according to ITAR-TASS news agency. Obama expressed hope however that "over time we will have seen that the US and Russian positions can be reconciled" and announced that Russia and the United States would step up their joint analysis of missile
threats. Meanwhile he also bluntly repeated the continued US dissatisfaction with Russia's recognition of two breakaway Russian regions as independent, Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity "must be respected". "There are areas where we still disagree...we had a frank discussion on Georgia".
Vladimir Putin, a man who he described in the run-up to the summit as having "one foot" in the past of the Cold War. He did not repeat that comment in the news conference, acknowledging that Putin was one of the "influential" figures he was going to meet and noting that Russia's ruling tandem were "working very effectively together."
Obama was on Tuesday morning due to meet with Russia's powerful Prime Minister
Many Madoff Victims Say 150 Years in Jail Isn't Enough...Continued from page 7 Chin, begging him to give Madoff the maximum prison time allowed, 150 years. "I am now destitute," wrote 76year-old Allan Goldstein of Woodland Hills, California, who described being forced to sell his home in New York and move in with a daughter. "We are applying for food stamps. Our lives are a nightmare." "If I could, I would charge him with heartbreak, sadness and tears," wrote Shirley Stone, 87. At the sentencing Monday, one victim, Michael Schwartz, cried as he told the courtroom how Madoff stole money that had been set
aside to care for his disabled brother. "I only hope that his sentence is long enough so that his jail cell will become his coff in," he said. Among Jewish organizations that lost sizeable sums in the Madoff scandal, the initial reaction - cutting programs and staff - has been replaced with efforts to create new procedures to safeguard themselves in the future. "People are making sure that their procedures are adequate so that whether or not they were impacted this time, the organization is as protected as possible. Not only in the context of another crim-
inal, but also in the context of an economy that's going through the roller coaster ride that the economy is now going through," said Jeffrey Solomon, president of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies. Solomon, whose organization was forced to curtail its discretionary funding "quite dramatically," is scheduled to speak on a panel next week entitled, "The Jewish World in a New Economic Climate, Post Madoff and Beyond." Solomon will tackle the topic at the Dan Panorama Hotel on July 7 along with guest panelist Avraham Infeld at an
event sponsored by the Daniel J. Elazar Institute for Jewish Communal Studies of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. "The question becomes, 'Where do we go from here?'" Solomon said. "One of the questions is, 'Will our behavior as a community and as donors and funders in the community change so that we don't simply have to reduce all of the services we deliver and can become more eff icient than we've been in the past?'" he said.

Israel's Democratic Challenge...Continued from page21 condemned Barak for his views of Jews. But Golan's issues with Barak's statements do more to expose the problem with Golan's type of journalism than the problem with Barak's professional record. Golan warned that by leaving the proverbial closet and exposing himself as a Jew-hater, Barak did the unthinkable. He caused "people to begin to wonder: Is this the man, the genius, the prodigy whose judgments are a candle lighting the paths of all courts? Should this candle continue to guide legal judgments or should it be snuffed out?" Golan concluded that in the future, Barak should keep his big mouth shut. Golan's excoriation of Barak was highly manipulative. He used his criticism of one aspect of Barak's talk to squelch discussion of a more troubling aspect of Barak's talk. This media twostep is the stock-in-trade of Israel's media elite, which like Barak's court system, is a closed circle of self-promoted brethren marked by ideological uniformity and anti-democratic radicalism. Although Golan is no longer among the leaders of this media fraternity which since the 1980s has developed in parallel to Barak's legal fraternity - his record is notable for his occasional willingness to expose its prejudices, much as Barak exposed the rationale for his anti-legal judicial legacy last Thursday. What Golan's record shows among other things is that the source of his anger at Barak's anti-Semitism stemmed from Barak's lack of discrimination between "good Jews," and "bad Jews." Golan made his own - more selective anti-Semitism clear in an article he pub-
lished in The Jerusalem Post in March 2005. There he explained that from his perspective, religious Jews cannot reasonably expect the protections afforded to other citizens of a democracy, because they are religious Jews. As he put it, "Religion and democracy simply do not go together. Democracy requires an open mind, freedom of choice, the ability to criticize. Religion on the other hand is based on virtually blind obedience to its priests. What some in the religious settler population want is to eat their democratic cake and, as believers, have their antidemocratic one, too." Here, not only did Golan expose his ignorance of basic Judaism - a religion founded on deliberation, debate and rebellion against arbitrary power - he demonstrated his illiberal support for authoritarian governance against his political foes. Like Barak, Golan is comfortable with a regime that prejudicially discards the legal rights of one group in favor of the imagined extralegal rights of another group. GOLAN'S SELECTIVE anger at Barak points to a second area of Israeli public life in dire need of expansive reform: The media. Today, Israel's Byzantine media regulatory system places massive, non-economic bars on entry of new actors into the electronic media market. These obstacles prevent reliable dissemination of news and information to the public and make it all but impossible for competition to arise in the war of ideas. For instance, to receive a radio license, new stations must agree to broadcast the hourly news updates produced by either by the ideologically uni-
form Israel Radio or by the ideologically uniform Army Radio. That is, by law, radio operators are effectively barred from producing their own news and compelled to maintain the media fraternity's monopoly on news reportage and information dissemination. For the past 20 years, the media fraternity's rigid ideological uniformity has been enabled by over-regulation and maintained through incestuous self-promotion and replication of news gathering models and news line-ups across the newspaper, radio and television spectrum. Like the legal fraternity it protects and supports, the media fraternity has used its power to successfully bar elected off icials from setting the national agenda in line with the wishes of the public as expressed at the ballot box. For instance, from the onset of the Oslo process with the PLO until Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated, the Rabin-Peres government never enjoyed a majority of public support for its controversial appeasement policy. But the media blocked all public debate by silencing Oslo's critics as enemies of peace and warmongers. The situation only deteriorated after Rabin's murder. The same was the case with the controversial - and disastrous - withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza. The media has similarly blocked debate of government economic liberalization policies, and educational reform policies. The story is always the same. Any policy that weakens the position of unelected off icials in favor of elected off icials is wrong and must be blocked. By smothering debate and manipulating the flow of information, the media have for decades eroded Israeli democracy
and diminished the importance of the public's franchise by weakening the ability of our elected leaders to serve our wishes as we express them when we vote. During his f irst tenure as prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu attempted to deregulate the electronic media in order to facilitate competition in the war of ideas. His efforts were stymied at the time by his own political weakness and by an ad hoc coalition of the religious Right and the secular Left which banded together to prevent the free market from endangering their existing media organs. Once Netanyahu's attempt was scuttled, the Left wasted no time in using Barak's court to remove the religious Right from the airwaves altogether. Today, Netanyahu is stronger, and due to the Internet, the media is notably weaker. The time has come to reinstate his proposed reforms from a decade ago. Television and radio waves should be deregulated. The only bar to entry should be the ability to pay for a broadcast license. The only determinant of success should be a station's ability to survive f inancially. Israel today faces massive threats to its security, its economic viability and its national character. To successfully lead Israel though its current predicament, our politicians need the powers and protections of a properly functioning democracy governed by the rule of law - and not by radicalized lawyers and journalists. It is time for Netanyahu, his government and the Knesset to seize the moment and reinvigorate Israeli democracy.

Tishma School And Center For Autism Hosts Annual Bake Sale and Chinese Auction at New Jersey Shore BY RACHEL WEINSTEIN On July 22nd, Tishma School and Center for Autism in Jerusalem will be holding their annual Bake Sale and Chinese Auction at the home of Ariella and Charlie Ben-Dayan: 208 Ocean Avenue, Deal, New Jersey. h e w i d e r B e n - D ay a n f a m i ly have been g reat friends and suppor ters of Tishma for many years now, with beautiful events with f a s c i n a t i n g s p e a ke r s , wo n d e r f u l food, atmosphere and attendees, previously held at the homes of Ariella and Charlie, and Marlene and Avi. These events have introduced many new friends to the impor tant and i n n ova t ive wo r k Ti s h m a d o e s o n behalf of children with autism in the Jer usalem area. We believe every child with autism deserves the chance to learn and fulfill their potential and we seek to provide our students every opportunity to do so. Each of our 52 students has their own individual story, challenges, opportunities, family and untapped potential, therefore, we provide every child with an intensive, tailormade program designed to substantially improve their communication, learning and life-skills and provide them with a more dignified and self-sufficient life. The emotional cost of autism cannot be measured, but the social cost of autism, including education, institutional care and related social services is substantial. Without an early significant therapeutic intervention the prognosis is bleak, indeed the vast majority of individuals with autism will be entirely dependent on others throughout adulthood. A successful early intervention can be the difference between a life of dependency and one of potential and dignity. We offer our students and their families hope. There is no substitute for seeing our work in person, and we are honored to regularly host groups from the annual Yeshiva of Flatbush ‘Mitzva Mission’, Ramaz, Hillel and Sharei Tzion high schools. On each of these visits special programs take place, such as music and art, enabling the students of each school to meet and inter-

Injured Surfers Gather at Pier Village, Long Branch, New Jersey Life Rolls On Returns to the Jersey Shore BY JOE LEVY Life Rolls On Foundation held their second Northeast “They Will Surf Again” on June 28th, 2009. Individuals with spinal cord injuries from around the Northeast gathered together for a day of surfing, inspiration and camaraderie. Some have not surfed since their injury, some have never surfed, some surf all the time despite their varying mobility. TWSA pairs roughly 7 volunteers with each surfer, for a day of excitement, joy, and best of all, surf! ver 200 volunteers and over 25 injured surfers gathered on the Pier Village beachfront for a day of waves. “After 5 weeks of rain and clouds, the skies cleared and it was a perfect day. The waves also rolled in the perfect summer swell for the event” said Joe Levy, volunteer and event director for the Long Branch Event. According to Levy, occupational, recreational, and physical therapists from facilities such as Kessler Rehabilitation and others join experienced surfers and watermen to create an “amazing synergy that brings the event to life.” Life Rolls On promotes quality of life and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) awareness. LRO also held their f irst “They Will Ski Again” this past year in California. They Will Surf Again,, the

The surfers range in various SCI injuries and came to the event from all over the Northeast including upstate NY, PA, and NJ.
Life Rolls On is a non-prof it 501(c)3 that exists to be a grassroots resource that provides hope and is an advocate on behalf of young people whose lives have been affected by spinal cord injury (SCI). LRO utilizes action sports to
push the boundary of possibility for those with SCI. TWSA is an adaptive surf ing program for those with spinal cord injury and a life-changing volunteer experience for all. It's not all about the surf ing, it's about proving that anything is possible. “It was a great day and the turnout was almost twice last year. SCI affects everyone and more of these types of events are needed” said Levy. Frank Colvin, a volunteer at the event stated, “It was amazing being in the water with the surfers. They were soo impressive on the boards. Another successfully run event that I had the pleasure to be apart of. Long Branch got its share of good karma today.” Life Rolls On will be holding a fundraising golf tournament and it’s f irst TWSA Cape May, New Jersey event, at the end of September 2009.

District 37 Republican Candidates Propose Education Tax Credits BY WOJCIECH SIEMASZKIEWICZ With the recent $600 Million payback into the State Treasury under the State Amnesty Plan, New Jersey State Government has a chance to enact a targeted Tax Cut that would benefit hard-pressed taxpayers with school-age children. Republican District 37 Assembly Candidates Wojciech Siemaszkiewicz and Barry Bellin propose a series of Education Tax Credits to help parents pay for the children’s education. We would take $200 Million of the aforementioned $600 Million and use it to help restore rebates for all New Jersey taxpayers. Next, we would take the remaining $400 Million and put it into an interest-bearing dedicated fund. nder our plan, all New J e r s ey f a m i l i e s w i t h s c h o o l age children under age 18 wo u l d r e c e ive a t a x c r e d i t o n t h e i r N ew J e r s ey S t a t e Ta xe s u p t o t h e a m o u n t s b e l ow, b a s e d o n t h e i r family i n c o m e l e v e l .

School tuition and school bus transportation for Religious and Private Schools wo u l d b e i n c l u d e d u n d e r t h e p l a n . This Tax Credit plan is very economically tax-eff icient and cost-eff icient. There would be neither burdensome bureaucratic nor administrative costs because there are no additional forms to fill out and checks would not need to be mailed out, which would save postage and envelope costs. Taxpayers can take the Tax Credit when they are filing their 2009 State Income Tax Forms next year. All that would be needed would be for the taxpayers to save their receipts and include copies of receipts when they itemize. The money for this plan would come out of the dedicated fund mentioned above and the process would continue until the money ran out. This targeted Tax Cut will give New Jersey Families muchneeded tax relief and provide an economic stimulus to provide families more funds to spend on their children’s education.
