PRESIDENT OBAMA SEEKS EGYPT’S HELP IN MIDEAST DEADLOCK

BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU

A United States federal judge in southern California handed down a 70-month prison term to Hammad Riaz Samana, the fourth Muslim member of an antiJewish terrorist cell to be sentenced. Other members of the cell are serving up to 20 years in jail. amana and his co-conspirators planned to attack synagogues, the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles, El Al Airlines and military bases. They planned to attack on the dates of Jewish holidays in order to maximize casualties. The Jami'yyat Ul-Islam Is-Shaheeh terrorist cell was headed by Kevin James and included Samana, Levar Haley Washington and Gregory Patterson. They carried out 11 armed robberies on gas stations and used the cash to buy weapons before being arrested four years ago. Investigators in Washington’s apartment found bulletproof vests, knives, Jihad literature and lists of potential targets. Washington is serving 22 years in jail, while James was sentenced to 16 years and Patterson was sentenced to 12.5 years. Judge Cormac Carney acknowledged that the 70-month jail sentence was lighter than the terms handed to other members of the cell and explained that he took into account the terrorist’s mental condition. Samana, a native of Pakistan and a U.S. national, had conducted computer research to hit targets and was the getaway driver in at least one of the robberies. He was recruited at a mosque in Los Angeles.

INHOUSE SCANDAL HITS HADASSAH BY MAXINE DOVERE

President Obama and his administration has shown new deference to the Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, by consulting with him before launching any major new initiative in the Middle East. BY SHAUN TANDON

US President Barack Obama, bidding to breathe new life into his Middle East peace push, is looking to Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak to help break a deadlock between Israel and Arab states. heir meeting marked the longtime US ally's first White House summit in five years, turning a page on a tense relationship with former president George W. Bush who pushed Mubarak to release political prisoners and hold free elections. Obama has been pushing Israel's rightleaning government hard to freeze Jewish settlements but has also called on Arab nations

to take symbolic gestures to encourage the Jewish state to move forward. But Obama has had little to show, with Israel going ahead with evictions of Palestinian families from a sensitive area of east Jerusalem and Arab states, including Egypt, saying Israel must take action before they do. Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said that Obama will "take some time" with Mubarak to reach out. "I think obviously each country in the region on either side of this issue has certain responsibilities to uphold as we make progress toward a lasting peace in the Middle East," Gibbs told reporters Monday.

Mike Hukabee: U.S. Shouldn't Tell Jews Where to Live BY ABE SELIG

Former Arkansas governor and presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee says the US has taken too harsh a stance against Israel on the issue of settlements. uckabee said the US should not "be telling Jewish people in Israel where they should and should not live." Huckabee made the comment while visiting Jewish enclaves in east Jerusalem. Aff iliated with the conservative wing of the Republican Party, Huckabee has been

touted as a possible candidate in 2012. The US administration is pressuring Israel to stop building settlements on lands the Palestinians claim for a future state, including east Jerusalem. Israel says east Jerusalem would remain part of its capital and insists some settlement construction must continue. A reception featuring Huckabee at the Shepherd Hotel in east Jerusalem has turned into a hotly contested venue for protests both for and against Israeli policy in the area. Two groups - Peace Now and Im Tirtzu have called for a protest and counter-

protest, respectively, on Monday evening, to coincide with the former Arkansas governor's planned appearance at the disputed east Jerusalem landmark. The groups represent either side of the growing debate over Jewish building rights in the annexed parts of the capital. The reception itself is private and will be closed to the public, but representatives from both groups told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday that the event presented an important opportunity to make their voices

A "magnif icent" two-story Roman mansion of more than 1,000 square meters has been discovered by archeologists in the City of David Archeological Park outside the capital's Old City, the Antiquities Authority announced. reviously, archeologist believed 3rd century Roman ruins extended only to the edge of the Ottoman Old City walls. The discovery of the mansion within the Givati parking lot, outside the walls and adjacent to the City of David, however, suggests Roman construction may have stretched to the bottom of the Silwan Valley, Dr. Doron Ben-Ami, the excavation's director, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday. "This discovery was very surprising,"

Ben-Ami said. "We didn't expect to f ind any Roman building remains within the City of David. We were astonished at how huge the structure is. So far we uncovered 1,000 square meters and the structure still extends beyond the limits of the excavation area." The f ind has already revolutionized historians' understanding of Roman settlement in Jerusalem, he said. "The prevailing supposition among scholars that the City of David hill remained outside the area of Roman settlement at the time of Aelia Capitolina is no longer valid," said Ben-Ami. The opulence of the building is apparent in its size and in artifacts recovered throughout the structures, the Antiquities Authority said in a statement.

German authorities say their analysis of dirt found in a suitcase belonging to Nazi fugitive and concentration camp doctor Aribert Ferdinand Heim, confirms the man known as "Doctor Death" spent "considerable time" hiding in North Africa, and probably in Cairo. hough witnesses, including Heim's Cairo doctor and members of his family, told The New York Times that he died of rectal

cancer in 1992, Dr. Efraim Zuroff, the director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Jerusalem office, told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday it was far from certain that Heim was dead. Heim is accused of killing and torturing inmates of concentration camps - including Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and Mauthausen. He allegedly conducted medical experiments on prisoners, tested the eff icacy of various lethal injections to the heart, and removed organs from prisoners without using anesthesia. Tipped off that police were prepared to

"In the center of it was a large open courtyard surrounded by columns," reads the statement. "The building rose to a height of two stories and was covered with tile roofs... Excavators deduced that some of the walls of the rooms were treated with plaster and decorated with colorful paintings." Also found within the structure were a marble f igurine in the image of a boxer and a gold earring inlaid with precious stones. The building most likely met its end during a massive earthquake that shook Jerusalem in 363 CE, Ben-Ami said. "The destruction is clearly apparently within the excavation area," he said. "The walls of some rooms are caved-in and their

Kadima: PM Sent 4 Ministers to Outposts BY GIL HOFFMAN

Interior Minister Opens Debate on Plan for National Identity Data Base BY RON FRIEDMAN Sensitive to calls by academics and information security experts that a data base of citizens' pictures and fingerprints might be misused, Interior Minister Eli Yishai said he would hear additional opinions before implementing the biometric law.

The four cabinet ministers who toured unauthorized West Bank outposts on Monday were sent there by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in an effort to create facts on the ground to prevent their removal, a Kadima spokesman charged on Monday. ice Premier Moshe Ya'alon (Likud), Interior Minister and Shas chairman Eli Yishai, Science and Technology Minister and Habayit Hayehudi head Daniel Herschkowitz and Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein (Likud) raised the ire of Kadima and the Left when they visited outposts as well as the dismantled settlement of Homesh that was removed during the Gaza disengagement in 2005. "The people of Israel deserve an answer about whether to believe the Netanyahu who talks about 'two states for two peoples' or the one who sends his senior ministers to swear allegiance to all the illegal outposts and to take steps that block the creation of two states for two peoples," the Kadima spokesman said. "Netanyahu is going against the opinion of the entire world, and the people of Israel are liable to pay the price in the loss of strategic interests like maintaining the settlement blocs." Kadima said Netanyahu's lack of

e also said he would consider changes to it after it passed in the Knesset. The controversial law was the topic of a conference organized Wednesday by the Israeli Forum for Information Security (IFIS) and the Ef i Arazi School of Computer Science at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, which featured Yishai, Government Services Minister Michael Eitan - the bill's sponsor - former interior minister Meir Sheetrit and a panel of experts. Dr. Karine Barzilai-Nahon, a researcher from the University of Washington, presented f indings of a recent study she made, which showed that if the biometric law were implemented, Israel would be the only democratic country in the world to have a mandatory biometric registry of all of its citizens. While other democracies have different types of biometric databases of f ingerprints and pictures of faces, she said, Israel's would be the most comprehensive and the only one where people would be required by law to submit their

Sources close to Netanyahu denied Kadima's allegations, but declined to comment about the tour because the prime minister was on vacation. â€˘Ministers urge PM to legalize outposts later Monday, the Prime Minister's Off ice said in response, "The subject of the outposts in Judea and Samaria is being dealt with jointly by the Defense Ministry." It added that "government policy with regard to the outposts was based on

"The only country to have a similar database is Hong Kong, and there it was only temporary," said Barzilai-Nahon. Her research has found that public dissent was the main reason other countries didn't have the same sort of database. Retired general Ya'acov Amidror, IFIS's president, explained that the conference's goal was to increase public debate on a topic that had received too little attention, and to address three important questions: Does Israel need a

"It is definitely hard work - harder than you can imagine - but it's worth it," she says. Damiani and 20 of her peers, from her university and the associated Moravian Theological Seminary, have been working at the Ramat Rahel Excavations Project for almost four weeks alongside a team from Heidelberg University in Germany and other groups and individuals from around the world. "A lot of students don't get a chance to get out of the country, and this is a great way to have a wonderful experience academically and also culturally," says Deborah Appler, a professor of Hebrew Bible at Moravian Theological Seminary and one of the organizers of the group. More than 100 volunteers from at least eight different countries are working this summer on the project, which is in its fifth year.

A few nights a week there are textual readings on the top of the hill, where staff members and volunteers read passages from the Bible and share their reflections on the meanings. Wright says that some participants are uncomfortable about the strong emphasis on religion, specifically Christian faith, but Lipschits, a secular Jew, says that they work hard to ensure that everyone, no matter what their background, feels comfortable. "I think any religious Jew that will see how Jews and Christians are working here together to uncover common history will understand and respect this," he says. When the students and other volunteers finish this summer's excavations on Friday, they may also be the last group to dig at Ramat Rahel, at least for the time being. Wright says the financial crisis has made it harder to find funding, but Lipschits says the project was only planned for five years and has run its course. "I think we got most of the answers we were looking for," Lipschits says. As they prepare to leave Israel on Saturday, the students from Moravian know that they will take more away from this summer than just academic credit from Tel Aviv University for Introduction to Archeology. "It's a good thing to broaden your horizons and learn about different places," Damiani said. "This dig gives you a whole new outlook on the world - not just the things you find, but the people, too."

Leading Rabbis Declare Day of Fasting Over 'Evil' Swine Flu BY JEWISH VOICE

ISRAEL

Significant Progress in Schalit Talks BY JPOST

Two leading Israeli rabbis made Wednesday a day of fasting and prayer because of the swine flu epidemic, a virus that has already killed many. he unusual fast day was announced in a joint letter published by Rabbi Shlomo Amar, Israel's chief rabbi of the country's Sephardic Jewish community, and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual leader of the ultra-Orthodox, coalition Shas party. The letter said the "evil" swine flu had spread from Mexico over the entire world "because of our many sins." It called for f ighting the disease by "medical means and by maintaining excellent hygiene," but also through fasting and prayer from sunset on Tuesday evening until sunset on Wednesday evening. Those who were unable to do so, should fast at least half a day, or take a vow of silence on themselves for half a day, it said. "We call upon everyone who is able to fast to accept upon himself a fast day on this coming Wednesday, the 29th day of Av, 5769, and pray much and recite the penitential prayers on the afternoon of Tuesday, the twenty-eighty day of Av," urged the letter, citing the date, month and year according to the Jewish calendar. Swine flu started out relatively slow-

Rabbi Sholomo Amar and Rabbi Ovadia Yossef called for a fast in response to the swine flu which is viciously attacking people worlwide. ly and mildly in Israel, with the f irst local contraction conf irmed in May and the f irst death only late last month. But, sparking belated widespread media attention and worry among the Israeli public, its spread has accelerated in August, with more than 2,000 cases and seven deaths now conf irmed.

Senior Israeli security officials are currently in Cairo in order to finalize the details of the prisoner exchange deal, according to a Channel 10 report which cited the Jerusalem-based Al-Manar newspaper. Damascus-based senior Hamas official Khaled Mashaal, meanwhile, denied any progress had been made. In an interview with the Qatari Al-Watan newspaper, he claimed that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was ignoring the Schalit issue in an attempt to make the terror group lower its demands. Mashaal's interview with the Arab paper will be published on Sunday, the radio station reported. Officials in Jerusalem, however, confirmed the reports that progress has been made in the talks, Army Radio reported on Thursday morning. The Jerusalem Post could not independ-

ently confirm the reports. According to Al-Manar, Netanyahu and Hamas leaders will begin working to establish support for the deal within their governments. Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti, as well as all the Palestinian women held in Israeli jails, was reportedly among the prisoners expected to be released in exchange for Schalit. Al Manar claimed that two senior Hamas officials had already arrived in Cairo in order to sign the agreement, which will soon be transferred to Tel Aviv by a senior Israeli defense official. A high-level security delegation will reportedly arrive in Israel from Egypt on Thursday, while Israeli and Hamas officials study the draft before its final approval. The newspaper quoted sources who said Israel would soon complete the technical preparations to release the prisoners. The unnamed sources claimed Israel had started moving all the Palestinian prisoners to one jail, in preparation for their release, and noted that Hamas was also making the necessary preparations ahead of Schalit's release. The deal will be carried out in three stages by the end of September, it said. According to the report, a medical team will arrive in the Egyptian town of el-Arish from Israel in order to examine Schalit before he is transferred to Cairo.

AUGUST 21, 2009 The Jewish Voice Former Terrorist to Testify in Support Hungarian Prime Minister Attempts to Stop Budapest Neo-Nazi March of Scottish Anti-Israel Activists on Trial PAGE 6

INTERNATIONAL

BY JONNY PAUL A former terrorist will give evidence in a Scottish court in October in support of a group of anti-Israel activists on trial for disrupting a Jerusalem Quartet concert in Edinburgh in 2008. eila Khaled is set to give a personal testimony as a witness for the defense in the trial of five activists from the radical fringe group Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) who have been charged with racially motivated conduct. Currently a member of the Palestinian National Council, Khaled was a member of the terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and was involved in a spate of airplane hijackings, including that of a TWA flight from Rome to Athens in 1969 and an El Al flight from Amsterdam to New York, during "Black September" in 1970. It comes as a member of Parliament denied claims made by the SPSC that he is also set to give evidence in support of the group at the trial. A spokesperson for Peter Hain, secretary of state for Wales, said reports that he would give evidence are incorrect. The SPSC activists will attempt to use personal testimonies of Khaled and others to categorize Israel as an apartheid and racist state to help deflect the charge of racially motivated conduct. Literature put out by the fringe group says that the witnesses will show that growing sup-

port for sanctions and boycotts against Israel is justified by "the history of ethnic cleansing carried out by the Zionist movement and its state from 1948 to the present; the conscious determination of the Israeli state to continue with further criminal acts of ethnic cleansing and failure of the British Government to honor its international legal obligations to oppose Israeli apartheid, specifically the illegal wall and settlement building." The five SPSC activists interrupted a performance of the Jerusalem String Quartet at Edinburgh's Queen Hall in August 2008 by shouting abuse at the audience and musicians. The group was performing as part of the "Artists without Borders" festival, which also featured performers from Iran. Following a hearing last Friday at the Edinburgh Sheriff Court, the trial was postponed until October 1 and an arrest warrant put out for one of the activists, Sofiah MacLeod, who is currently taking part in demonstrations in Bil'in in the West Bank. One of the SPSC members on trial, Mick Napier, said "she will be coming back from opposing racism to stand trial for being a racist." The SPSC is a radical offshoot of the London-based Palestine Solidarity Campaign. In January, the group hosted what it claimed to be a Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration with a Hamas supporter who justifies suicide bombings. In December, the group fabricated a story that it had been responsible for a boycott by Scottish companies of Israeli water company Eden Springs Ltd.

BY JPOST The Prime Minister of Hungary informed the police of a proposed Neo-Nazi march set to occur on the weekend of August 15 and 16th. he march is in commemoration of the death of Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler’s deputy. “Budapest and Hungary cannot be the paradise of neo-Nazis and their demonstration has to be prohibited,” neo Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai told the Hungarian news agency MTI. He encouraged the local police to use any and all legal methods to block the march. The neo-Nazi group, the Hungarian National Socialist Front, is responsible for planning the march and organizing musical concerts on Saturday commemorating the death.

Paris Pool Bans Muslim Woman in 'Burqini' Swimsuit BY AFP A Paris swimming pool has refused entry to a young Muslim woman wearing a "burqini," a swimsuit covering most of the body, officials said Wednesday, adding to tensions over Muslim dress in France. he incident came as French lawmakers conduct hearings on whether to ban the burqa after President Nicolas Sarkozy said the head-to-toe body covering and veil was "not welcome" in France, home to Europe's biggest Muslim minority. Officials in the Paris suburb of Emerainville said they let the woman swim in the pool in July wearing the "burqini," designed for Muslim women who want to swim without revealing their bodies. But when she returned in August, they decided to apply hygiene rules and told her she could not swim if she insisted on wearing the garment, which resembles a wetsuit with built-in hood. Pool staff "reminded her of the rules that apply in all (public) swimming pools which forbid swimming while clothed," said Daniel Guillaume, an official with the pool management. Le Parisien newspaper said the woman, identified by her first name Carole, was a French convert to Islam and that she was determined to go to the courts to challenge the decision. "Quite simply, this is segregation," the newspaper quoted her as saying. "I will fight to try to change things. And if I see that the battle is lost, I cannot rule out leaving France." The newspaper ran a photo of the woman sporting her three-piece "burqini" which she said she purchased in Dubai during a recent holiday. "I bought it thinking that I could enjoy swimming without having to uncover myself," she said. Local mayor Alain Kelyor said "all this has nothing to do with Islam," adding that

A woman surfs a website which sells burqinis, a swimsuit that covers most of the body. the "burqini" was "not an Islamic swimsuit; that type of suit does not exist in the Koran," the Muslim holy book. France has set up a special panel of 32 lawmakers to consider whether a law should be enacted to bar Muslim women from wearing the burqa. In an address to parliament in June, Sarkozy said the burka was not a symbol of religious faith but a sign of women's "subservience" and declared that it was "not welcome" in staunchly secular France. The country has had a long-running debate on how far it is willing to go to accommodate Islam without undermining the tradition of separating church and state, enshrined in a flagship 1905 law. In 2004, it passed a law banning headscarves or any other "conspicuous" religious symbols in state schools to defend secularism. The burqa debate in France has drawn chilling warnings from Al-Qaeda that it was ready to "take revenge for the honour of our daughters and sisters." Communist MP Andre Gerin, who heads the National Assembly's burqa commission, called the "burqini" ridiculous and said pool administrators were right. "We can't allow this. This is proof that there is a political agenda behind such dress," Gerin told Le Parisien.

Human Rights Watch Group Urges Israel to Investigate Gaza Civilian Killings BY LUIS RAMIREZ

BY ZACK COLMAN If the newspaper industry is undergoing economic natural selection, then Jewish newspapers might be the most fit for survival. perating in the niche market of one of the most highly educated demographics, Jewish news products could be poised to stay in print form the longest, said Rob Eshman, editor-in-chief of the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles. While he said there was a lot of depressing news surrounding the Jewish press, it was not suffering like other sectors of journalism. "I do think it's a very tough time, but it's a time where if you can figure out the model you will survive," he said. "You're reaching the most incredible, literate, active, involved demographic, that really needs a way to communicate." Another factor aiding Jewish newspapers was that Jews tended to form large communities, giving such newspapers a solid and stable readership, said Rick Edmonds, media business analyst for the Poynter Institute. The Jewish Journal's print version is available for free, with its Web site being the driving force of its readership, receiving some 300,000 unique visitors per month. But Eshman and others said Internet advertisement revenue alone couldn't be relied upon because the rates were significantly lower than print. Heeb, the New York-based magazine that started in 2001, charges $1,960 per month for a banner advertisement on its Web site. A one-time placement in its print form, however, yields a minimum $900 for a 1/6 page advertisement, while a 1⁄2 page advertisement - the fifth largest of its seven sizes brings in $2,000. Jane Eisner, editor at Forward, said that although the paper had had to make unprecedented cuts - such as laying off staff, closing its west coast bureau, executive pay cuts and forced four-day work-weeks - the Jewish press hadn't yet felt "the panic and desperation" of the mainstream media. "One of the reasons that I did come back was because I felt this idea of us being a niche publication was going to be the future," said Eisner, who was out of journalism for several years before taking her post at Forward. "We know we're not the first read for our readers, but we know that we offer them something that nobody else has."

“Jewish newspapers have remained afloat because they offer an affluent and steady readership.” Mark Joffe, executive editor and publisher for the Jewish Telegraph Agency, painted a bleaker picture. His organization services more than 90 client Jewish newspapers, and some have either folded, switched from a weekly to a monthly format or have changed ownership. Joffe said one of the most telling signs of the industry's health was the American

Jewish Press Association's annual convention in June. Attendance was down more than 50 percent compared to the previous year, which Joffe said was an indictment on the Jewish press' financial constraints. Many Jewish newspapers and other religious press depend on advertisement from nonprofit organizations, such as local Jewish federations. These groups have been hit hard by the economic recession and are pulling their advertisements, creating a gap in revenue for many papers. Some publications are looking for donations to help get through the economic slump. Forward just changed to a 501c3 nonprofit organization, which allows them to receive donations that Eisner hopes will lead to a grassroots financial movement. Heeb sponsors more than 50 events every year, many with celebrity appearances, to garner some of its financial support. Such trends can be reversed once the economic situation is solved. People will once again donate to nonprofit organizations, who will then be able to advertise, and people will resume purchasing religious publications, which will encourage other advertisers to reinvest. Despite this, Jewish newspapers have remained afloat because they offer an affluent and steady readership, Edmonds said. That fact, combined with cheaper rates than its competitors, has allowed the Jewish Journal to succeed in courting advertisers. "We were able to sell that to advertisers and say, 'Well, you can reach 700,000 people if you're advertising in The Los Angeles Times, but how many of those people can actually afford a cruise or a Porsche?'" he said. But that doesn't mean the model is fixed, Eckstrom said. He and many others said religious print would eventually move online, and Eckstrom added that actual content would suffer. Moving online presents problems for the Jewish press because it has an older readership that might be alienated by the transition, Edmonds said. That's why newspapers, such as Washington Jewish Week, are attempting to grab younger readers. Rubin said she would hold off on putting a product solely online. "It's just too early to try," she said. "But we are not moving away from our print edition by any means. We're just trying to supplement our print edition." Still, some newspapers have had difficulty switching to the Internet. Michael Regenstreif, editor of the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin in Canada, said the paper was "way behind on an Internet strategy." Working with a "bare bones staff," the Bulletin reaches 2,000 print readers twice a month from September through May and once a month during summer months. Appealing to younger readers might be accomplished through a cultural interpretation of Judaism, Eisner said. With many young US Jews identifying culturally rather than religiously with Judaism, the arts are increasingly important to drawing young readers to Web sites. It's a formula that has worked well for Heeb, which takes a pop culture spin on American Judaism. That format has led to a

The U.S. group Human Rights Watch is urging Israeli leaders to thoroughly investigate reports that soldiers shot and killed civilians who were carrying white flags during Israel's 22-day assault on the Gaza Strip six months ago. he report is the latest in a series of accusations that Human Rights Watch has made this year pointing to what the group says was the wrongful behavior of Israeli troops during the Gaza offensive. Human Rights Watch Deputy Middle East Director Joe Stork tells VOA the report looked at seven incidents during the operation in which Israeli soldiers shot and killed 11 civilians, nine of whom were women and children. "What sets these cases apart is that in these incidents, the individuals were waving white flags or were with a group of people holding, waving white flags to convey their civilian status," said Stork. "Despite this, they were shot dead." Israeli military off icials say the army took many measures to safeguard civilians during the Gaza operation, that was targeted at Islamist militants who had been f iring rockets over the border at civilians in southern Israel for years. Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibowitz says the job of soldiers was complicated by what she says was the militants' use of civilians as human shields.

"We witnessed, in many cases, groups of civilians walking in the streets," said Leibowitz. "Some of them were holding white flags, and amongst them were Hamas militants, armed with guns, with launchers. Their goal was to move from one house to another house, because their tactic was to use those civilian homes as launching pads, really, little bases if you will." Leibowitz says the army continues to carry out investigations and has punished soldiers who were found to have misbehaved. She questions the sourcing of the Human Right Watch report. "The report is based, like the previous reports, is based on testimony of Palestinians that we are not sure how credible they are. Their credibility has not been substantiated," she said. Human Right Watch's Joe Stork says army investigators should launch a more thorough investigation. "I can tell you that they have made no approach to the people involved in these seven incidents. No approach whatsoever," he said. "We checked with our contacts in Gaza, the families, the witnesses, in Gaza this week. Here we are, half a year after the operation, the IDF has yet to contact anybody and say, 'would you be willing to cooperate?'" Palestinian off icials and international organizations, quoting Palestinian f igures, say about 1,400 people died during the 22-day Israeli assault on Gaza.

Teens Arrested for Crimes Against Brooklyn Man, Philip Barry Jewish Residents in South Fallsburg Suspected of $40-Million Ponzi Scheme BY JEWISH VOICE

BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF A Jewish resident of the Kiryas Avreichim complex in South Fallsburg, NY was walking on Elm Road at night when he was suddenly The South Fallsburg Police Department & assaulted by a group of three Sullivan Sherrif Meet With Police Department local teenagers.

Chaplains to Discuss the Assault.

he teens began to shout anti-Semitic insults and hit him hard in the face. The man fell to the ground, unconscious. When he woke up he shouted for help and neighbors from the building hurried to his aid. When the neighbors came, the teens began to beat them up as well. The gang of teens fled and threatened to return later.

Police Chief Williams decided to increase the number of patrols in the area and was determined to find the offending teens. The Fallsburg Police Department arrived quickly and began an investigation. The Fallsburg Police Chief Simmy Williams,

Rabbi Bernard Freilich, Sullivan County Sheriff Mike Schiff, Undersheriff Eric Chaboty, Rabbi Joel Gold (New York State DEC Police Chaplain) and Rabbi Simcha Bernard (Chaplain Sullivan County Sheriff) met immediately the next morning. Police Chief Williams decided to increase the number of patrols in the area and was determined to find the offending teens. The gang of teens struck again on Sunday night. They returned to the complex and assaulted a Jewish man sitting in his car in the parking lot. They forcefully removed the man from his car and drove off with it. The Fallsburg police department was called; they quickly located and recovered the stolen vehicle shortly after. The investigation heated up, and not long after, on Monday afternoon two 14-year-olds and one fifteen-year-old were arrested. They were charged with robbery in the second degree, grand larceny in the third degree, two incidences of assault, and criminal mischief.

Philip Barry, a Bay Ridge storefront investment advisor, is the latest Ponzi-schemer to get caught cheating investors out of money. Unlike Bernie Madoff, many of his investors still believe in him and are still holding on for hope of seeing a return on their money. Philip Barry was accused of cheating local investors out of about $40 million dollars in a Ponzi scheme that he operated from his dilapidated 82nd Street office. any people lost their life savings, such as Babara Grebin, a retired Veterans Affairs Medical Center administrator. "I don't hate him; I wouldn't want to waste my time hating anybody," said Grebin, 68, who lost her life savings of $120,000 to $150,000. "But I would like to throw him down the sewer," she remarked. Grebin invested around $50,000 over the span of 30 years and was fortunate enough to see dividends. She was even told that her fund had grown to $430,000. She could not believe her luck! "I asked him to invest in tax-exempt bonds. Now I don't think he did that at all," said Grebin. "He yessed me to death…About two years ago, I asked him for money and the check bounced….That's when I knew we were in deep trouble." Another investor who counted on Barry for about 30 years said, "He is an outright liar," the 52-year-old woman said. "He's put me in such a f inancial bind. I don't know where to go." Michael Long, the boss of the state Conservative Party lost $15,000 but

doesn’t hold a grudge! "I think he really felt that he was investing wisely and making money for people," Long commented. When more than 40 investors sued Barry for stealing millions of their dollars, Brooklyn Federal Court Judge Charles Sifton ruled that Barry must pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages even though he had not yet been charged with a crime. Barry f iled for bankruptcy. Barry denies that he stole money and insists that with more time, investors will see a prof it. "It's all in real estate," Barry said. "I'm going to keep on working to make sure everyone gets the prof it they are entitled to." Philip Barry is a well-known character in his Bay Ridge neighborhood. His local roots and humble personality made it easy for people to trust him. He lived in a modest home and his business was run out of a shabby storefront with battered, cheap furniture and worn-out carpeting. He ate TV dinners at work and investors who knew him said he was too cheap to buy lunch at work. He brought in his own bread and sandwich f illings to save money. He wore modestly-priced clothing and did not drive an expensive car. He lives in the $700a-month walkup apartment on Fourth Ave. where he grew up. He began his investment scheme around 30 years ago and his moneymaking plot grew by word of mouth; investors were told they would earn guaranteed rates of return between 12.55% and 36%. Many

Inhouse Scandal Hits Hadassah Continued from cover Madoff was in 1988 when it received a $7 million dollar donation from a French philanthropist who instructed that the funds be “invested” with Madoff. During the course of time, according to Bloomberg, and unofficially acknowledged by a long time Hadassah member familiar with the matter, through 1997, Hadassah placed an additional $33 million in the Madoff account. This amount somehow enabled Hadassah to withdraw somewhere between $120 and $130 million dollars for various projects during the ensuing twenty year period. The 90 million dollar “loss” reported earlier has now been termed a “paper loss,” representing the total amount the account should have earned – or, what Hadassah should have received from its original $40 million investment had its funds actually been invested.

As CFO and Finance Committee, she was influential in directing funds to Hadassah’s Madoff account. Assured that there are, and always have been, many controls in place, and the ability of a single individual – even the CFO – to dictate investment policy should is limited, Hadassah says its investment decisions are made by a formal Finance Committee consisting of twelve individuals from inside and outside of the organization. For thirteen years during this Sheryl Weinstein, now 60, described as “brilliant and beautiful,” was in place as Hadassah’s Chief Financial Officer. As CFO and a member of the Finance Committee, she was influential in directing funds to Hadassah’s Madoff account. In hindsight, her lack of foresight and due diligence was extensive, including placement of her own and her family’s assets with the debunked money manager. Now, claiming she has lost everything, she petitioned Madoff ’s sentencing judge for an opportunity to speak at the June 29 proceeding, vehemently denouncing him as “that terror, that monster, that horror, that beast." On February 20, Weinstein was one of two dozen speakers at an “investor’s” forum that complained about efforts to recover Madoff assets. She claims to have lost savings accumulated over 35 years. After Madoff, 71, pleaded guilty in March to running the $65 billion Ponzi scheme, Weinstein was the last of nine victims to address U.S. District Judge Denny Chin, urging the judge to keep Madoff “in a cage behind bars.” “This is a human tragedy,” Weinstein said. “If it was a hurricane, the government would be out there with loans, with forms, with anything to help. There is nobody out there who has said one word as far as any help, any aid, nothing. There’s this big, huge void. Most of us have paid our taxes and have been the outstanding model citizens for most of our lives.” “For months after December 11, I would

Are such separation packages common at Admass – or were there some special circumstances surrounding Ms. Weinstein? When asked to comment about the apparently generous severance package as this paper went to press, Pamela Assail, Admass' Director, Marketing & Communications, Jailed Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff, pictured responded by saying "We do not discuss the deparwith paramour Sheryl Weinstein.

Weinstein’s position so publicly wash this Still, she kept both her own and her husvery dirty laundry? Is the public revenge on band’s funds with Ma doff, thanking him for her old lover not sufficient? But, of course – there’s a 224 page book about to hit the shelves. Weinstein has authored a tell-all-tale, “Madoff ’s Other Secret: Love, Money, Bernie, and Me,” set for release August 25nth. The self revelation says John Murphy, of publisher St. Martin’s Press, will “recount intimate details of her affair with the convicted con man.” Weinstein’s book is said to be “filled with personal details, exclusive documents, and photographs. Her account will reveal a Madoff nobody knew, and it will shock and surprise readers.” It quotes Weinstein as saying: “Nobody knows Bernie Madoff like I did. And nobody knows about me.” According to Bloomberg, in an August 13 memorandum to board members, the president of Admass, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America Inc..Nancy Falchion, says (the organization) was “shocked” to learn its former finance chief wrote a book that will say she had an extramarital affair with Bernard Madoff, “Admass was shocked to hear the news reports of Mrs. Weinstein’s personal admissions regarding this relationship.” Agreement’ to Leave Who is this woman? What are the circumstances regarding her 1997 departure from Admass? Why was her “parachute” so golden – a departure package so generously funded it could have sent a hundred children to camp at Tel Echidna? Her 1997 base salary was reportedly $150,000 per year. According to the 1998 edition of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, she was paid $133,000 in salary for 10 months, $112,700 for 195 days of accrued vacation, and an additional $300,000 in sev-

Some say sympathy must be with her family – after all, she is one of the many people caught in the trap of “too good to be true.” She claims she and her husband lost their life savings and have been forced to sell their Manhattan apartment. At Ma doff ’s sentencing, Richard, her husband of 37 years, commented that Ma doff is “a psychopath who would take money from his own mother." “Claw back” Lawsuit Possibilities In another development that could potentially, be devastating for Hadassah, Irving Picard, the trustee liquidating Bernard AL. Ma doff Securities LCD, has filed “claw back” lawsuits that seek to recover funds from investors who withdrew more from Madoff ’s business than they invested in it. (As noted earlier, Admass withdrew at least three times the amount it originally invested.) No comment on whether the trustee might in fact, sue Hadassah was available from Kevin McCue, a spokesman for Picard. He declined comment, saying he can't discuss potential litigation. Mc Cue said “claw back” cases could involve payments in the 90 days before December 11, when Madoff gave himself up, or fraudulent transfers, primarily fictitious profits, made in the six years before that date.

WAR ON TERROR “Justice, justice shall you pursue” (Deutoronomy 16:20)

CY Vance Calls for New Anti-Terrorism Policies for Manhattan DA’s Office BY ERIN DUGGAN Manhattan District Attorney candidate Cy Vance today called for new policies to help combat the threat of terrorism. Vance’s comprehensive plan will ensure that the DA's Office remains at the forefront of national anti-terrorism efforts. ew York City is a beacon of American opportunity and freedom, and as such it will always be a target for domestic and international terrorists,” said Vance. “Just as the NYPD has proven that there is a valid and necessary local police function in fighting terrorism so too is there an important role for Manhattan prosecutors to play. The vital importance of that role was underscored by the recent New York County prosecution of international banks that were found to be executing massive illegal money transfers for Iranian banks. At least one of the Iranian banks has been sanctioned for ties to terror organizations. The DA's Off ice, working together with the federal government, was instrumental in investigating and prosecuting the international banks. This is good progress, but there is more

The Manhattan DA’s office will work to prevent funding of terrorism by aggressively prosecuting money laundering and related crimes, which help fund terrorist activities. to be done.” Vance’s Plan to Fight Terrorism includes: Appointing a Counter-Terror Coordinator Reporting Directly to the District Attorney.

This position will oversee and coordinate efforts to identify, investigate and prosecute terrorist plots and organizations. While terrorism prosecutions are largely federal undertakings, the DA’s Office can and should provide critical assistance to its partners. The coordinator will lead the expansion and improvement of the relationship between the DA’s Office and the formidable array of counter-terror investigative entities in New York City, including elements of the Department of Justice, the FBI, the NYPD, the federal Department of Homeland Security and the New York State Office of Homeland Security. This is critical as the DA's Office flags criminal cases that are suspicious or have likely links to terrorism. Pursuing Connections between Terrorism and other Crimes. Because terrorist organizations share many of the same attributes as more traditional organized criminal enterprises, the DA’s Counter-Terror Coordinator will work to identify terrorist organizations and the entities which support them in their dormant stages, with the goal of preventing future attacks. The Office will work to prevent funding of terrorism by aggressively prosecuting money laundering and related crimes, which help fund terrorist activities. The Office will act to foil terrorist plots by investigating smugglers of more tradition-

al materials such as weapons and drugs. Drug smugglers have the ability to smuggle materials for terrorism, and the Office's involvement in more common smuggling cases positions it to identify smuggling cases connected to terrorism. Designating a Team of Counter-Terror Prosecutors and Investigators. Vance will designate a team of prosecutors and investigators familiar with anti-terrorism statutes and experienced in handling crimes that often support terrorism—such as credit card fraud, money laundering, false identification, tax evasion, theft and weapons possession. Working with the NYPD and federal authorities, this team will attempt to “connect all the dots” and will understand the big picture of terrorism and the role that common crimes can play in the identification of terrorist organizations. Expanding Money Laundering Prosecutions. Terrorists and their supporters often use financial organizations in Manhattan to launder funds to support their activities. The Manhattan DA’s Office has gained an international reputation of excellence for combating large-scale money laundering. These cases protect the integrity of our financial system and bar terrorists and their supporters from using our banking system to finance their operations.

U.S.: Drive for Atomic Energy Adds to Nuclear Challenge BY AFP A senior US official acknowledged that the growing demand for atomic energy in response to climate change was adding to the challenges of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. ome people are calling this a nuclear renaissance, it's very much in vogue," said Susan Burk, the US president's special representative for nuclear non-proliferation in what she termed her first public presentation. The peaceful use of atomic energy is one of the three pillars of the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT), allowing countries that have signed up the right to the peaceful use of nuclear power in return for disarmament or giving up weapons ambitions. "Strengthening this pillar of the treaty is more important than ever, especially when one considers the renewed interest in nuclear power as a response to climate change, energy security and the promotion of sustainable development," Burk said. The challenge was to ensure that the world would not be "creating proliferation when we turn the lights on." US President Barack Obama is examining new steps, including an international fuel bank, that could allow countries to gain access to civilian nuclear power without

developing their own complex fuel production capability, Burk said. Many Western nations suspect Iran is trying to develop an atomic arsenal under cover of its power programme, which includes the domestic production of enriched nuclear fuel. Iran insists its program is peaceful and aims to meet the country's growing energy needs. Burk called for steps to tackle "abuse" of the NPT and shore it up, warning that the international community's record in tackling breaches has been "poor." "The costs of violating this treaty must outweigh the benefits. Non-compliance must be met with real consequences," she said at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy. Burk also indicated that the United States had not exhausted all the possibilities of dealing with the stand-offs with Iran and North Korea through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on Wednesday highlighted "the possibility of establishing a multilateral nuclear fuel supply mechanism." Traditionally, Western countries have been sceptical of the idea, also raised by Russia.

IRANIAN THREAT

The

Iranian Threat Jewish Teen Tried for Supporting Oppostion In Iran BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF The Iran government put 25 supporters of the opposition on trial, one being a Jewish teenager. The activists were allegedly involved in riots and protests after the election. The prosecution claimed at the beginning of the trial that the defendants all plotted these riots years in advance. uring the trial, the court watched a video that showed attacks that protesters made on public property, a mosque and cars. There were two more court hearings for around 100 politicians and activists who were accusted of trying to overthrow the Islamic system in Iran. Many people suspect that President Mahmoud Admadinejad won the election on June 12 by fraudulent means, resulting in large protests. The Fars news agency claimed that one person on trial was part of the Jewish community in Iran.

“Siamak Mereh Sedq, Iran’s only Jewish parliamentarian, confirmed that Shaolian was being detained...” The Jewish teen Yaghoghil Shaolian, age 19, said he did not participate in any of the protests, that he was not an activist, and that he did not even vote in the presidential election. He was arrested after he threw a couple of stones at a bank in central Teheran on June 14. Shaolian’s lawyer requested that the court give him a fair and reasonable prosecution because of his young age.

Siamak Mereh Sedq, Iran’s only Jewish parliamentarian, conf irmed that Shaolian was being detained to the Associated Press. "I have been pursuing his case since we learned about his detention," Mereh Sedq said. He also says that he does not think Shaolian’s detention is related to his religion. “He is innocent; we hope to see his release soon based on Islamic mercy.” This will be the f irst time since 2000 that a Jew was tried in Iran. The last time was when 13 Jews were accused of spying for Israel. There are about 25,000 Jews living in Israel, making Iran the residency of the largest Jewish population in the Middle East other than Israel. The Islamic Republic News Agency reported that during the trial, Mehrdad Aslani, one of the suspects, accused the opposition leader, Mir Hosein Mousavi and other activists of planting the idea of election fraud in the mind of their supporters. "Mr. Mousavi, do you know there are seats here for you and your friends who were the cause of this plot?" Aslani said. Activists for the opposition say that in Iran, it is not uncommon for court confessions to be coerced. Mousavi said he created a new political group intended to pursue freedoms within the boundaries of Iran’s constitution. Reports on Sunday by many newspapers in Teheran wrote that Mousavi named the body “the Green Path of Hope” and said its purpose was to recover people’s constitutional rights. He added “our slogans during the election were in the framework of the constitution and today we will continue to adhere to these ideas.” The organization would be comprised of volunteers and social groups.

Peres: Iran Nuke 'Flying Death Camp' BY JPOST President Shimon Peres told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Tuesday that an Iranian nuclear bomb would mean a "flying death camp." uring a meeting in Sochi, Medvedev responded that Russia was opposed to Iran possessing nuclear weapons, saying it would be a frightening scenario. Israel wants Russia, which has close ties with Iran, to increase pressure on Teheran over its nuclear program. As well as the Iranian nuclear standoff, the two presidents also discussed the Middle East peace process during their talks in the Russian Black Sea resort. Russia aspires to host an international conference to discuss the Middle East peace process. Medvedev welcomed Peres by calling him "one of the world's most experienced politicians" and said he was ready

Obama Seeks Egypt’s Help in Mideast Deadlock Continued from cover responsibilities it's going to be hard to move forward," Gibbs said on Air Force One as the president returned from a working holiday in the western United States. Obama has shown new deference to the octogenarian Egyptian leader, with his administration saying it wanted to consult with him before launching any major new initiative in the Middle East. In remarks published Monday, Mubarak said he told Obama in June -- when the US leader chose Cairo as the backdrop for a landmark speech extending a hand to the Islamic world -- that Israel must freeze settlements. "I explained to President Obama in Cairo that the Arab initiative offers the recognition of Israel and normalization of ties with it after, and not before, a just and lasting peace is achieved," Mubarak told the state-controlled Al-Ahram newspaper. The Arab League in 2002 endorsed a plan calling for Arab states to recognize Israel in exchange for Israel's withdrawal from the land it occupied in war in 1967 and an equitable resolution for Palestinian refugees. Only two Arab countries, Egypt and Jordan, have signed peace treaties with the Jewish state while some other Arab countries have trade relations. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the peace process with Mubarak on Monday along with developments on Iran, which both nations fear is building nuclear weapons. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley voiced confidence that Clinton and Mubarak agreed on the need for "gestures that move towards normalization" as both

Israel and the Palestinians take peace steps. He said Clinton also raised human rights with Mubarak. "It is something that we raise in every high-level meeting that we have," Crowley told reporters. "We would like to see Egypt embark on a path to expand political dialogue." Leading rights groups also called on Obama to use the meeting as an opportunity to call for reform. US-based Human Rights Watch said Egypt "arbitrarily detains bloggers, activists and opposition members and convicts them in unfair trials," and called on Obama to convey the message that human rights in Egypt "are a central concern of his administration." The group urged Obama to call for the release of political prisoners and for Mubarak to bring an end to nearly three decades of emergency law in the country. Leading Egyptian dissident Ayman Nur, who spent three years in prison after challenging Mubarak in the 2005 presidential election, earlier voiced fear that Obama would set back efforts to promote reform in Egypt. Mubarak also met with some 20 Jewish leaders in a meeting that Martin Raffel, senior vice president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, described as "very friendly." But he said the Jewish leaders also pressed Mubarak to find ways to reassure the Israeli public "that the Arab world is serious about trying to achieve peace with Israel." "If you're asking Israel to make hard decisions," Raffel told AFP, "the Israeli people have to begin to feel that there is a positive change happening with the broader Arab world beyond Egypt and Jordan."

U.S. Delegates Blame Palestinians for Stalled Peace Talks

Palestinian youths parade with a Hamas flag and their national flag at a Hamas-run summer camp in Rafah. BY AFP The head of a delegation of US Democratic members of Congress blamed the Palestinians for failing to hold talks with Israel, calling it the "largest thing" impeding the peace process. think the largest thing impeding the negotiations at this point is simply the unwillingness of (Palestinian president Mahmud) Abbas to sit down (with the Israelis)," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters in Jerusalem. Abbas has refused to meet with Israel's new right-leaning government until the Jewish state ceases all settlement construction in the occupied West Bank in line with repeated demands from the White House. Hoyer however said the issue of settlements should be addressed through direct negotiations and said if he had met Abbas during his delegation's week-long visit to the region, he would have asked him to drop "preconditions." "The United States' policy has been for a stop to any additional settlements. That is a thorny, tough issue... It's an issue that has to be solved at the negotiating table," he said. The delegation of 29 congressional

Democrats met several senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad. Hoyer said a scheduled meeting with Abbas had been cancelled because it conflicted with the Palestinian leader's Fatah party congress. Senior US Republican Congressman Eric Cantor, who visited Israel a week ago at the head of a similar delegation, also blamed the Palestinians for the stalled talks and criticised the US administration's focus on settlements. Israel and the Palestinians relaunched peace talks at a US conference in November 2007 but the Palestinians suspended the negotiations during Israel's three-week war on the Hamas movement in Gaza at the turn of the year. US President Barack Obama has called on both sides to return to the negotiating table while ramping up pressure on Israel to halt settlement construction, including the so-called "natural growth" of existing settlements. Netanyahu has said his government will not approve the building of new settlements but will continue to allow construction in existing ones.

Real Real Estate Deals: Now in Deal BY SHALOM WEINBERGER One would imagine that Deal, New Jersey, being very much an enclave unto itself, would be little effected by the current down turn in real estate value. This, however, is not the case. The national economy and the overall down turn in real estate values has, in fact, affected even the tightly held real estate of the tightly knit Deal community. espite the fact that very f ew h o u s e s “ t u r n ove r ” a n n u a l l y, t h o s e t h a t a r e f o r s a l e t h i s s e a s o n a r e garnering a l o w e r s a l e s p r i c e t h a n t h e y would have, had they been offered for sale even just a year ago. The number of houses that traded or are on the market this year has shown a significant increase. Whether for reasons of personal economy, business downtrends or just an ordinary desire to change one’s venue, houses have become more available and (gasp) less expensive - even in Deal.

“In past, houses were often traded or sold quite privately, with little public sales effort. In the economy of 2009, the situation has changed...” In past, houses were often traded or sold quite privately, with little public sales effort. In the economy of 2009, the situation has changed: some who need to sell have found they use “standard” real estate sale techniques - such as using a broker, despite the inherent desire to do things quietly, as little publicity as possible. A simple web search reveals that a number of desirable, highly valued properties are immediately available. These are not white elephant proper-

While in previous years, finding an ocean front property had been nearly impossible, this year several houses have “washed up” and found themselves in contract for sale to new owners. Although many are affected by the immediate economic downturn, in the long term, the strength of the community, inherent quality of offered properties is likely to protect homeowners from anything approaching the real estate “collapse” experienced in many markets. For example, an extraordinary 8 bedroom, beautifully maintained Roseld Avenue is offered for $3,500,000. But, even at this price, the property has languished on the market since May. In nearby “Deal Park” homes on generous lots can be had for $250 a square foot. On Crosby Avenue, a foreclosure is in process. For just over a million dollars, someone can own a large home in a wooded area. Or, perhaps Parker Avenue is your choice: here, a home with its own tennis court is available (it is in the initial stages of foreclosure, as well) for under $600,000.

Lost Money in the Stock Market? Here’s What to Do! BY HOWARD W. HIRSCHHORN Hundreds of billions of dollars have been lost in the stock market over the last six years. And chances are, some of it was your money. There are approximately 13 trillion dollars invested in the stock market today. Prior to March of 2000 that amount was significantly higher, but as we recall, investors lost more money than what was lost during the depression. lan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, coined the phrase "irrational exuberance" when referring to the stock market, meaning that securities were selling at excessively high multiples of earnings and securities in the high tech area were sky rocketing without any earnings at all, but rather with future expectations. In my accounting practice, and while lecturing at local community colleges about “Investor's Rights,” I have met hundreds of individuals who have lost money when the market collapsed, some who were desperate.

“He has always relied on his broker's recommendations and when he questions his broker as to why the value of his portfolio is declining.” The vast majority of people do not know that when they have invested their retirement funds based on their broker's recommendations, under certain circumstances, their broker may be held personally responsible for their losses. What is a person to do, when his "New Client Application" which was f illed out when he opened his account, indicates his investment objective is primarily safety of principle, is seeking income for retirement and therefore is not willing to assume any risk and subsequently discovers the value of his

account is declining? He has always relied on his broker's recommendations and when he questions his broker as to why the value of his portfolio is declining, he receives an answer which says in effect "Don't worry, the market will come back, it always does." Because I represent clients that have suffered losses in the stock market before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the answers that are given to investors are almost identical to the answer I cited above. When it is discovered that your broker placed you in securities that were unsuitable, a claim of action may exist where you can seek compensation for your losses. If any one has lost money in the market as a result of your broker's unauthorized acts; a claim can be f iled with FINRA setting forth the circumstances of your losses. Through the auspices of FINRA, a mediator can be appointed whose function it is to facilitate communications between the parties until a settlement is agreed upon. Eighty percent of all mediations are settled. The settlement will represent the amount of money that the brokerage f irm will pay the investor for either part or all of his losses, thereby acknowledging that the broker violated the rules as promulgated by FINRA. In the event the investor does not accept the settlement offer by the brokerage house, he can then request Arbitration which I will discuss in my next column. Mediation is a voluntary non-binding process, which usually takes a day with the expectation that the claim will be satisf ied.

U.S. Litigation Decides Fate of Swiss Accounts BY BRIAN J. SAPIR The days of secret Swiss Bank accounts may be numbered on the heels of a historic settlement agreement between Swiss Banking giant UBS AG and the United States and Swiss Governments, the preliminary details of which were agreed. he underlying litigation, U.S. v. UBS AG, Case No. 20423/09, presently pending in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, arose in connection with the Internal Revenue Service’s legal effort to obtain the identifications behind some 52,000 secret accounts tied to U.S. citizens, which the IRS claims are being used to evade taxes. While the exact details have yet to be disclosed, Wednesday’s settlement may lead to the disclosure to U.S. authorities of 3,000 to perhaps more than 10,000 names of American citizens suspected of using Swiss accounts to evade taxes. These names would be in addition to the 250 account names which were recently disclosed by UBS AG to the IRS pursuant to a parallel criminal inquiry against UBS AG which was settled by UBS AG’s payment to the U.S. Government of $780 Million Dollars.

“The Swiss government threatened to forbid the disclosure of any information it deemed to violate Swiss privacy laws...” A key sticking point in the negotiations has been Switzerland’s concerns that that the IRS’s demands would force UBS bankers to violate Swiss criminal laws protecting account secrecy. The Swiss government threatened to forbid the disclosure of any information it deemed to violate Swiss privacy laws, even if such disclosures were directly ordered by the U.S. District Court. The United States, concerned that such legal challenges would allow tax evaders to delay prosecutions for many years were able to reach a compromise by entering into a bilateral tax treaty with the

Until the exact details of the settlement are released it is uncertain exactly how UBS accounts are affected. Swiss Government, whereby UBS clients would be allowed to appeal to the Swiss Courts to block the IRS’s request for information, but U.S. prosecutors could still pursue criminal charges against such clients if the Swiss court processdragged on indefinitely.

“Our Firm is intimately involved in monitoring these events and will continue to provide you with pertinent updates...” Until the exact details of the settlement are released, it is uncertain exactly how UBS account holders will be affected, however it does seem clear that this case represents only the first chapter of the IRS’s pursuit of U.S. citizens’ seeking to hide taxable income, which is likely to extend to other Swiss banks and similar offshore accounts. Our Firm is intimately involved in monitoring these events and will continue to provide you with pertinent updates as more information becomes available.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE EDITORIAL

Needed: Accountability, Ethics, Transparency Giving charity - tzedakah – is a basic tenant of Jewish practice. A contribution to a Yeshiva scholarship fund, a donation to UJA (United Jewish Appeal) for the needs of Jewish people everywhere, support of a hospital, JCC or synagogue, or help for an Israeli institution: each is an essential component for Am Yisrael. enerally, every charitable “target” can provide documentation of its 501 (c) (3) status, has been licensed and certified by the state and federal governments, and can demonstrate that it has been vetted by at least two independent charity evaluators.

“Please, it’s for the children” or I promise that tehilim will be said on your behalf every day. Yet, almost inevitably, especially in the religious community, there is frequently another knock on the door, another tap on the shoulder after morning prayers, a “Please, it’s for the children” or I promise that tehilim will be said on your behalf every day. Just, please, “something for the poor family of Reb….” While it is the donor who must ultimately decide the validity of the request and understand what – or who – is really being supported, the individual “collector” can place embarrassing - sometimes public, pressure on a prospective donor. Especially in times of economic difficulty, greater scrutiny of every individual who claims to represent a “worthy charity” must be exercised. For what and by who are funds really being used? Will the school-shul-

hospital-desperate family really receive the dollars collected? For what, or for whom, is the “representative” actually taking your hard earned dollars? Could the “charity” actually be a business model that some entrepreneur sees as an opportunity to create a sustainable income? Perhaps he will provide perhaps a modicum of financial support to the named school-shul-hospital-desperate family?

“Do give tzedaka. Do provide for the poor, take care of the sick, andprovide for the education of children”. Who’s checking? Several months ago, the New York Times reported that charitable fraud “by all measures” is growing. Even the increased scrutiny of the IRS has not stemmed the tide. On the contrary, the economic crisis seems to have led to an increase in fraud. Further, the community’s willingness to believe in the essential goodness, especially of the “righteous” collectors, has allowed charitable fraud to become “considerably larger.” Do give tzedaka. Do provide for the poor, take care of the sick, and provide for the education of children. Certainly, support of legitimate causes is urgent, especially in difficult economic times. Just take care that the hand that receives what you take from your pocket is not simply taking advantage of the philosophy of charity to line his own.

GOP Must Repudiate Limbaugh or Be Defined by Him BY MENACHEM Z. ROSENSAFT • One stark difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats appear to be far more willing to confront and publicly denounce bigots and extremists in their own fold. This has been highlighted by the GOP leadership’s failure to condemn Rush Limbaugh’s divisive, race-baiting diatribes. uring the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama unambiguously rejected and repudiated Louis Farrakhan, calling the Nation of Islam leader’s anti-Israel and anti-Jewish tirades “unacceptable and reprehensible.” Despite a very real concern that distancing himself from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright risked alienating a significant part of the Democratic base, Obama also condemned as “ridiculous” and “divisive” what he described as his former pastor’s “rants that aren't grounded in truth." Similarly, in a June 1992 speech to the Rainbow Coalition, presidential candidate Bill Clinton denounced the incendiary anti-white rhetoric of the hip-hop rap artist, Sister Souljah, thereby incurring the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s wrath. In sharp contrast and with rare exceptions, the Republican leadership consistently refuses to even address, let alone condemn, Limbaugh’s inflammatory, offensive and vitriolic radio broadcasts, either because they condone his sentiments or because they are terrif ied

of losing the votes of his millions of faithful listeners. Most recently, Limbaugh not only listed “the similarities between the Democrat Party of today and the Nazi Party in Germany,” but compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler. Here’s what Limbaugh told his nationwide audience: “Obama's got a health care logo that's right out of Adolf Hitler's playbook”; “Obama is asking citizens to rat each other out like Hitler did”; the president “is sending out his brownshirts to head up opposition to genuine American citizens who want no part of what Barack Obama stands for and is trying to stuff down our throats”; and “Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate.” Limbaugh has a long history of inciting the far-right grass-roots against any political f igures who do not reflect his white, fundamentalist Christian, conservative, anti-minority, anti-pluralistic, anti-egalitarian view of the world.He considers feminists to be “feminazis,” dismissed Justice Sonia Sotomayor as a “hack” and a “reverse racist,” and was outraged when President Obama declared in his April address to the Turkish Parliament that one of the “great strengths of the United States” is that although “we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation; we consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.” Limbaugh further appealed to his followers' most xenophobic instincts by telling them that that it is “really uncool

to be a white male today,” and that U.S. Rep. David Scott or one of his supporters, rather than a Ku Klux Klan wannabe, most probably had painted a large swastika on a sign outside the African-American congressman’s Georgia district off ice. For Holocaust survivors and their families in particular, Limbaugh’s demagogic screeds have ominous overtones with which we are all too familiar. One would have expected Republican Party leaders who purport to be in the tradition of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt to speak out against Limbaugh’s hate-mongering. Instead, Colin Powell has been one of the very few prominent Republicans with the integrity to take on Limbaugh. “The problem I have with the [Republican] party right now,” Powell told Larry King last month, is that when Limbaugh “says things that I consider to be completely outrageous, and I respond to it, I would like to see other members of the party do likewise. But they don't.” Indeed, John McCain considers Limbaugh to be “a voice of a signif icant portion of our conservative movement in America” who “has a lot of people who listen very carefully to him.” Mitt Romney calls Limbaugh “a very powerful voice among conservatives. And I listen to him.” Rudy Giuliani has said that “to the extent that Rush Limbaugh energizes the base of the Republican Party, he's a very valuable and important voice.” And House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, the only Jewish Republican in Congress, believes that “Rush has got ideas. He’s got a following. He believes in the conservative principles that many

of us believe in.” By tolerating and encouraging Limbaugh, the Republican leadership is fomenting racial and ethnic hatred that could have disastrous consequences for our country. Limbaugh’s extremist rhetoric is transforming the Republican side of the American political discourse from one of legitimate political and ideological disagreement among fellow citizens into a demonization of the “other,” that is, everyone who is non-white, nonfundamentalist Christian and non-conservative. MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann regularly refers to Limbaugh as a “comedian.” That’s a mistake. Limbaugh may have an act, a “shtick,” as it were, but there is nothing funny or entertaining about him. As McCain, Romney, Giuliani and Cantor all acknowledge, Limbaugh wields a great deal of influence in both the Republican Party and the conservative movement. That makes him a dangerous, destructive cancer on both the Republican Party and the American body politic. The GOP’s leaders now have to make a choice: They can either allow themselves and their party to be def ined by Rush Limbaugh, or they must denounce and renounce him once and for all. Menachem Z.

No Second Thoughts as Robinson Receives Medal of Freedom BY JONATHAN TOBIN When asked about whether U.S. President Barack Obama was rethinking his decision to give Mary Robinson his nation's highest civilian award, a spokesman for the White House was quoted as saying that the president "had no second thoughts" about giving the former Irish president the Presidential Medal of Freedom. ndeed, the ceremony went off without a hitch and nary a discouraging word as Robinson and 15 other less controversial recipients got their medals amid a blizzard of presidential praise. Obama lauded Robinson, the woman who presided over the United Nation’s anti-Semitic hate-fest at the 2001 Durban Conference on racism, as "an advocate for the hungry and the hunted, the forgotten and the ignored," and ignored the widespread criticism of the honoree from a wide range of Jewish groups as well as some members of Congress. Robinson is a longtime foe of the Jewish State and even today holds the post of honorary president of Oxfam, an NGO that gained publicity last week for f iring actress Kirstin Davis fame as its spokeswoman because she also represents Ahava, whose Dead Sea cosmetics are considered off-limits by Israelhaters.

Obama presents a 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson. Though the dustup over Robinson cast something of a shadow on an event that is almost always non-controversial (because the White House generally eliminates questionable candidates), the dispute did not generate a great deal of publicity. It was Robinson's good fortune that the weeks leading up to the ceremony were dominated by a divisive national debate over health care reform. Even Obama's most virulent critics on the right were too preoccupied with the debate over the president's massive expansion of government power for it to register much of an impact on the nation's political Richter scale. But Friends of Israel, especially those Jewish Democrats who have been doing their best to ignore the White House's increasingly belligerent tone toward the Jewish state, would do well to note what happened with Robinson.

Obama honored a virulent enemy of Israel, someone who bore a great deal of responsibility for Durban, one of the most disgraceful episodes in the history of an institution - the UN - that is no stranger to disgrace. And he has gotten away with it with hardly a scratch on his reputation. Though some will dismiss this incident as a minor mistake that will soon be forgotten, the main lesson to be learned here may not be the one about presidential award nominations needing to be more thoroughly vetted. Rather, it may be that as much as this was an unforced error on the part of the White House, what Obama and his advisers

may take away from this incident is how easily they were able to dismiss a nearly universal Jewish dismay. In the weeks to come, the president and his foreign-policy team are said to be preparing what we are told is a new Middle East peace plan. The upshot of this exercise may be some sort of peace conference doomed to certain failure because neither of the two leading Palestinian factions - the supposedly more moderate Fatah that runs the Palestinian Authority and the Islamist terrorists of Hamas - have any real

Hundreds of Young Adults Join Together For Torah Classes and Friendship in Manhattan BY TARA LYN GORDON Just under a year ago I assumed the role of chairperson of the Hineni Young Leadership program. I accepted this challenge to honor the memory of my father, Gershon Gordon, who I lost in June of 2008 after a long struggle with ALS. I wanted to be part of this critically important program for Jewish survival in order to exalt his memory and his precious neshama. I also did this for my mother whose neshama could use a boost as well as for my Rebbetzin (Esther Jungreis) who does so much for everyone within her reach.

orrying that there would not be a strong enough showing at our f irst shiur, I utilized the technology of social networking programs on the internet to get the word out. I Facebooked my friends, Tweeted my little heart out, and blogged to my 'followers.' Little did I know that Hineni was unlike any other Jewish organization in town. With a capacity to hold 60 - ok 80, if I was pushing it- on the day of the event I had over 110 on the guest list who had RSVP'd in the aff irmative and we had dozens more vying to make their way in. It's a phenomenon. In a city like New York where there is literally a plethora of

Rebecca Langer and Shai Canaan at the Torah Class and gathering that has been attracting many young adults. Jewish organizations, synagogues and other centers of Jewish outreach, in a city where the the competition for Jewish souls is downright fierce, Hineni holds a very special place in the hearts - and calendars - of so many of Manhattan's young prominent Jews. Picture this, if you will: A beautiful apartment. Caterers. Scents of scrumptious glatt kosher finger foods and fancy mini

Impeccably, yet modestly dressed, young women flit around the room talking in hushed voices, scanning the crowd, eyebrows raised. They are delighted to see many friends, old faces and new ones. The men, coming from work, are in business suits, some wear jeans and sport coats - outfits completed with a kippah on their heads also look around with sheer delight..

intently and listen with their hearts. Blackberries stop buzzing and one could hear a pin drop. There is standing room only as people continue to file in, if only to catch as many words as they can. There is no question that the Rebbetzin is a superb orator, but this group exudes a tangible energy. There is something very different and unique about the aura in the room. The Rebbetzin is cultivating a new generation of Jews, many of whom are new to Torah. The evening concludes with Rebbetzin Jungreis gently taking the hands of the young ladies in the room and walking them around, asking them, “have you met? He's a wonderful young man". And so the night goes on; sometimes to the late hours, till our gracious hosts are ready for bed and long after the caterers have poured the last glass of wine. The night is magical and a success. Baruch Hashem !! Rebbetzin Jungreis, my Rebbetzin - as many of us refer to her - graces us with her words on paper through her various articles and columns, and in person, in so many ways and places. I just wanted to pay a heartfelt tribute to her and share what she has done to touch me and my generation.

Secular Court Interference in Beis Din Decision “Dangerous Precedent” BY RABBI AVI SHAFRAN A New York State lower court decision overturning a beis din decision in the case of a rebbe dismissed by a yeshiva is being appealed by the rebbe, and Agudath Israel of America, together with the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America and Torah Umesorah – the National Society of Hebrew Day Schools – have filed an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief in support of the appeal. he appeal does not address the merits of the dispute itself but centers entirely on the fact that the lower court issued a ruling on the matter at all. Since the case had already been adjudicated by a beis din, the Orthodox groups contend, the state court system had no business examining it, much less issuing a ruling, as it did, asserting that the beis din’s decision was “irrational.” In their brief, the Orthodox groups explain that since the rebbe had brought his complaint before the beis din, and the school had submitted itself to arbitration in that Jewish court, the beis din’s ruling was final. And, by the laws of New York, entirely legal and enforceable. What is more, the brief contends, the state court system, by involving itself in a religious matter – the beis din’s ruling – took a giant, and unlawful, step over the line of church-state separation.

“For the courts to entangle themselves in deciding cases that involve complex matters of Jewish law,” the brief states, “would lead to the very ‘excessive entanglement between government and religion’ that the Establishment Clause was designed to avoid.”

the religious autonomy of the beis din, a vital and central religious institution in the Orthodox Jewish community, creating a dangerous precedent that could lead to unconstitutional interference by the civil courts in religious matters.

“Rabbi Biser stresses the “The Orthodox organizalong-range implications of tions’ brief takes pains to the lower court decision emphasize that they are not should it be affirmed by the advocating on behalf appellate court.” of either party to the dispute with respect to their The Orthodox organizations’ brief takes underlying claims.” pains to emphasize that they are not advocatThe brief submitted by the Orthodox Jewish organizations argues that the court should not have used secular law to judge a decision that the parties agreed should be based on Jewish law. It explains further that secular courts cannot constitutionally inquire into, much less overturn, decisions based on Jewish law, especially in cases involving religious institutions and fundamentally religious matters. And the brief notes as well that the lower court’s decision represents a serious threat to

ing on behalf of either party to the dispute with respect to their underlying claims. But, it states, “We are compelled to offer our views in the case at bar due to our deep concern that the ruling… if upheld, will have ramifications that extend far beyond the specific dispute at hand.” The lower court’s decision, the brief argues, represents a serious threat to the religious autonomy of the beis din as an institution, undermines the integrity of the policies of Torah Umesorah governing the hiring of teachers and creates a precedent that could lead to unconstitutional interference by the civil courts in reli-

gious matters. The Orthodox groups' brief was drafted principally by an Agudath Israel legal staffer, Chaim Kusnitz, under the direction and guidance of Agudath Israel associate general counsel Rabbi Mordechai Biser. Rabbi Biser stresses the long-range implications of the lower court decision should it be affirmed by the appellate court. “If the decision is allowed to stand,” he says, “the principle it propounds – that a secular court can vacate an order of a beis din whenever the court believes that that order is at odds with what secular legal principles would dictate – would undermine the ability of New York’s rabbinic courts to hear cases and render decisions.” Each beis din, he adds, would now need to not only apply Jewish law, but would also need to be concerned about how “rational” their decision would appear to secular court judges unfamiliar with Jewish law. Litigants unhappy with the ruling of a beis din, he continues, “would be tempted to go to secular courts to attempt to overturn the religious court’s decision.” What is more, says Rabbi Biser, some Jewish disputants would be much less likely to go to a beis din in the first place, as is required by halacha. “They would rightly wonder if the beis din’s decision will, in the end, be permitted to stand and be legally enforceable.”

Jewish Day School Networks of All Denominations Join Forces BY MATT YANIV Professional and lay leaders from Jewish day schools across the spectrum of practice will come together in a first-ever unified educational conference scheduled for January 2010 in Teaneck, New Jersey. ointly planned by RAVSAK: The Jewish Community Day School Network, the Institute for University-School Partnership at Yeshiva University, the Solomon Schechter Day School Association, and PARDeS: The Progressive Association of Reform Day Schools, the shared conference represents ground-breaking work in cost-effectiveness and community building among Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Community day schools.

Historically, each day school network has hosted its own annual professional development conference. Elements of duplication of service were seen as secondary to the need for each organization to serve their constituent schools. The rapid change in the economy, which has shaken the day school world to its core, inspired the heads of the various networks to collaborate in new ways, resulting in a conference model which capitalizes on knowledgesharing and meta-issues in leadership while making possible new alliances among the schools. Conference programming will include keynote sessions by leading-edge thinkers, case studies, intensive workshops, peer-to-peer

learning and network-specif ic meetings. The joint conference will be held from Sunday, January 17 through Tuesday, January 19 at the Marriott Glenpointe, just outside of New York City, in Teaneck, NJ. Conference program details will be available in late summer 2009 and registration will open in fall 2009. To receive information as it becomes available; please send your name, title and day school or organization contact information to info@jewishdayschoolconference.org Founded in 1886, Yeshiva University brings together the heritage of Western civilization and the ancient traditions of Jewish law and life.

NEWS IN REVIEW NEW YORK MAYOR BLOOMBERG UNVEILS PLAN TO END EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL PROMOTIO N Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg called for an end to social promotion in the fourth and sixth grades, the culmination of his efforts to eliminate the discredited practice that long allowed New York City students to advance to higher grades despite lacking the skills to succeed. The proposed new policy would complete the ending of social promotion in all grades from 3-8, ensuring that students are promoted only if they are prepared for higher level work. Mayor Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein previously ended social promotion for students in the third, f ifth, seventh, and eighth grades. Students in these grades must now score Level 2 or above on State math and English Language Arts (ELA) exams to be promoted. The Mayor made the announcement, the first major policy initiative since the State Legislature reauthorized mayoral control of the school system, at the P.S. 171 Patrick Henry School in East Harlem where Governor Pataki signed the original school governance legislation in 2002. The Mayor was joined by Deputy Mayor for Education and Community Development Dennis M. Walcott and Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein. They will ask the Panel for Educational Policy to take up the issue when it is reconstituted under the new school governance law.

NATIONAL GRID APPLAUDS GOVERNOR PATERSON’S ENERGY PLAN National Grid applauded New York State Governor David A. Paterson’s State Energy Plan proposal that calls for the efficient production, delivery and use of energy, an improved delivery infrastructure, and support for technologies that will aid in the transition to a clean energy economy. This plan supports the Governor’s “45 by 15” initiative to both reduce electricity use by 15 percent below 2015 forecasts and increase the proportion of renewable generation to 30 percent of electricity demand by 2015.

COLUMNIST ROBERT NOVAK DIES AT 78 Conservative columnist and former CNN “Crossfire” co-host Robert Novak has died after a yearlong battle with can-

cer, his family announced Tuesday. He was 78. Novak retired in August 2008 after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He was a longtime columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and a regular commentator for CNN for 25 years, beginning when the network launched in 1980. For most of that time, he was a cohost of the political debate program “Crossfire.” In 2003, he found himself at the center of the scandal over the exposure of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, when he published a column revealing her status days after her husband challenged a key Bush administration justification for the invasion of Iraq. The scandal ultimately led to the conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, on charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to investigators probing the leak. Novak cooperated with a special prosecutor and was not charged in the case.

NATIONAL BOSTON CONSUL GENERAL REPRIMANDED, APOLOGIZES Israel's consul general in Boston apologized for a memo he wrote criticizing Israel's policy toward the United States. Nadav Tamir was reprimanded Thursday in Israel by Foreign Ministry Director-General Yossi Gal for his lack of judgment in widely distributing the memo. Tamir apologized, saying he regretted the memo became public, according to reports. He also said that he understood that someone in an official government position cannot publicly criticize the government. Gal did not reprimand him for the content of the three-page memo, titled "Melancholy thoughts on Israel-U.S. relations," in which Tamir said Israel's handling of relations with the Obama administration was causing Israel "strategic damage."

MONTREAL JCC TO OPEN ON SATURDAYS Off icials at Montreal's YMYWHA/Jewish Community Centres have voted to open the facility on Saturdays. Starting in October, the facility will open at 1 p.m. Saturdays, the board of trustees voted Monday. Votes in 1999

and 2003 had rejected the Sabbath opening. "We are more than aware of the debate around this issue," Executive Director Michael Crelinsten told The Suburban newspaper. "We have spoken with many members of the community. We have met formally with Federation CJA and a number of key rabbis, and have had conversations with others. We're fully apprised of the range of feelings people have about this. "We will do everything we can to be respectful of these sensitivities," he said. Crelinsten said that being respectful means opening at 1 p.m., so as to not interfere with morning services; no exchange of money; no organized classes; and closing the front desk and restaurant.

COLLEGE PUBLISHER WILL RENT TEXTBOOKS TO STUDENTS A college textbook publisher said it would become the f irst to rent titles directly to students, an alternative option for students that are fed up with spending $100 or more to buy books they have little use for after a semester.

INTERNATIONAL EL AL PASSENGERS TAKE 6 HOUR FLIGHT WITHOUT BATHROOMS OPERATING El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. has apologized to 184 passengers on flight LY 082 from Bangkok to Tel Aviv yesterday who survived the last six hours of the flight without bathrooms.

Syrian President Bashar Assad To Visit Iran Assad's planned visit next week to formally congratulate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his second term as president was reported Friday by Iranian news agencies. The Obama administration hopes to entice Syria away from Iran's influence as a means of isolating the Islamic Republic, and top U.S. officials have visited Damasucs in recent months. Much of the world has yet to recog-

nize Ahmadinejad's victory in June elections, which were widely considered to have been rigged and sparked mass protests in Iran.

LEBANON CLAIMS NEW ISRAEL SPY RING Lebanese media outlets reported that the state's security apparatus discovered a new ring of Lebanese who are spying for Israel. Defense officials reportedly arrested a number of the of the ring's members and started a search for those who got away. It was reported that the members belonged to a specif ic Lebanese political party, but it was not revealed which one. The Russian intelligence service FSB was recently cited for assisting Hizbullah terrorists in uncovering what was called the Al-Alam spy ring after a prominent Lebanse reserve officer who was one of about 70 Lebanese, Egyptians and other Arabs was arrested on charges of spying for Israel.

AUSTRALIAN HOLOCAUST DENIER STARTS THREEMONTHS IN JAIL Fredrick Toben, a German-born Australian who was convicted in May of 24 counts of contempt of a 2002 court ruling that barred him from publishing anti-Semitic material on the website of his organisation, the Adelaide Institute, started a three-month jail term on Thursday, after his appeal was quashed. In their verdict, the judges of the Federal Court said the case was not about the Holocaust but about whether Toben had complied with orders of the court. The material found to be in breach of the order included suggestions that the Holocaust did not happen, that questioned whether there were gas chambers at the Auschwitz death camp, and that challenged the intelligence of Jews who questioned Holocaust deniers' beliefs. The 2002 case against Toben stemmed from a discrimination case against him by Jeremy Jones, a former president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry. Robert Goot, the current Executive Council president, said in a statement that he would “not hesitate” to return the matter to the court if Toben breached the law again.

The Jewish Voice EDUCATION PAGE 31 Jewish High School Students Bring Brooklyn College Torah Scroll to Israeli Soldiers Welcomes President Gould

AUGUST 21, 2009

BY AARON TROODLER

BY ERNESTO MORA

High school students who are participating in the National Council of Young Israel's Achva Israel summer program transported a Torah to Israel in order to present it to soldiers serving in the Israel Defense Forces. Before boarding their plane at JFK International Airport, the young men and women sang and danced with the Torah.

Karen L. Gould is the ninth president of Brooklyn College and assumed the office on August 15, 2009. She is the first woman to serve as president of the college and is an internationally known scholar in the field of French-Canadian literature. n a joint statement, CUNY Chair person Benno Schmidt and Chancellor Matthew Goldstein stated: "Dr. Gould's appointment is a marvelous stroke of good fortune for both Brooklyn College and the City University. She brings to this important leadership post extensive academic and administrative experience from f ive major public higher education institutions, along with an impressive record as a scholar and fund-raiser. Dr. Gould will take an outstanding institution to higher levels in the years ahead."

“Gould is the author or co-editor of six books and more than 50 articles and essays on contemporary Quebec literature, francophone women writers, and the modern French novel.” Before coming to the college, Gould served as the provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). As the chief academic officer of one of the largest and most diverse of 23 public institutions in the CSU system, Gould was responsible for ensuring a high-quality educational experience for 31,000 undergraduates and 7,000 graduate students, including 1,400 international students, in eight academic colleges. As provost, she provided academic leadership and promoted excellence in all aspects of the university's academic mission. CSULB is national-

ly recognized for its academic excellence. Gould is the author or co-editor of six books and more than 50 articles and essays on contemporary Quebec literature, francophone women writers, and the modern French novel. She has been honored with both the Canadian Governor General's International Award for Canadian Studies in 2003 and the Donner Medal in Canadian Studies in 2005 for her research and professional contributions to the field of Canadian studies. Gould is the former editor of the interdisciplinary journal Québec Studies and has received numerous grants, fellowships and awards for her research. Active in the profession, she has served as president of the International Council for Canadian Studies, president of the American Association for Canadian Studies in the United States, and a member of the executive board of the national Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Gould received a B.A., cum laude, from Occidental College in 1970, a diploma from the Sorbonne, and a Ph.D. in romance languages from the University of Oregon in 1975.

he National Council of Young Israel (NCYI) marked the departure of American high school students traveling to Israel for the summer who transported a Torah Scroll that will be presented to soldiers serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The Torah Scroll is being given to the soldiers through the Sefer Torah Program, which is a joint initiative of the NCYI and the Rabbinate of the IDF. This was the 181st Torah Scroll that the NCYI has donated to the IDF to be used on remote army bases throughout Israel, so that soldiers on active military duty are able to maintain their religious practices while serving in the army. Each of the 181 Torahs has been taken to Israel on El Al Airlines. The students, who departed from JFK International Airport, were traveling to Israel as part of the National Council of Young Israel's renowned Achva Israel summer program, which is now in its 29th season. Achva Israel, a touring and travel program for post-10th graders, features five weeks visiting and experiencing the Land of Israel. Seventy Achva participants and staff members danced with the Torah Scroll in the airport before boarding the plane. Rabbi

Bennett Rackman, the spiritual leader of the shul at JFK International Airport, was instrumental in coordinating the celebration at the airport. "Watching dozens of young men and women celebrating with the Torah while displaying such great emotion was especially inspiring," said NCYI First Vice President Eli Dworetsky, who participated in the celebration. "The fact that American teenagers recognize how critical it is for the defenders of Israel to have access to Sifrei Torah regardless of where they might be at any given moment, is demonstrative of the love and respect that our youth have for the brave men and women of the IDF who risk their lives to protect our homeland. Presenting the soldiers with a Sefer Torah will undoubtedly be a meaningful and memorable experience that will leave an indelible mark on the lives of these young men and women." The overwhelming success of the NCYI/IDF Sefer Torah Program, which began in 2001, is the result of the ongoing efforts of NCYI Executive Vice President Rabbi Pesach Lerner and Major (res.) Rabbi Yedidya Atlas, who represents the Chief Rabbi of the IDF Rabbinate. Both Rabbi Lerner and Rabbi Atlas recognized the need to ensure that Israeli soldiers have access to religious items, such as Sifrei Torah, during their time in the army.

A Review of Racial Disparities in Autism Spectrum Disorder Identification BY STEPHANIE KIMBALL Autism affects thousands of families regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status. One in every 150 children in the US has been diagnosed with the developmental disorder and this ratio grows with every passing year. But who exactly is being diagnosed, and what do their cultural and socioeconomic statures illustrate about how many more cases are going silently overlooked? n March, the American Journal of Public Health published a study entitled, “Racial or Ethnic Disparities in the Identification of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders” which sought to determine the association between race/ethnicity and documented autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). In a cohort of 2,568 children aged 8, it identified children who were Black, Hispanic, or of another race or ethnicity to be less likely than were White children to have a documented ASD. The authors conclude that the way clinicians report ASD varies significantly between different ethnic populations. Clinicians are more likely to make a diagnosis of intellectual delay than ASD for Black and Hispanic children (American Journal of Public Health, 2009;99(3):493-8).

“Despite significant progress in early detection techniques, a wide degree of variance amongst minorities still exists when properly identifying ASD.” Unfortunately, these conclusions are of little surprise to anyone who has dealt with the significant up-hill battles associated with procuring an ASD diagnosis. Gary Goldstein, president and CEO of the Kennedy Krieger Institute at Johns Hopkins University, which has a large autism research program, has stated that the racial and class differences in diagnoses reflect the fact that getting a diagnosis often requires that parents be effective advocates, at least in the years before chil-

dren arrive in school. “It's not like leukemia or a broken bone where a diagnosis will be made no matter what your social class is,” said Goldstein, “You have to be an advocate” (Washington Post, “300,000 Children in U.S. Found to Have Autism,” May 5, 2006). But is it that simple? Any parent regardless of race or socioeconomic standing who loves their child will fight the system in order to ensure the best care possible. Could the cause of these racial and socioeconomic disparities be due to the fact that many poor, minority youngsters do not have the same access to state-mandated services available to those identified as autistic? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seem to think so. In two different surveys they explain that white families with higher incomes are more likely to report having children with the disorder, a fact that federal experts said probably reflected unequal access to medical services. So if the quality of and access to healthcare in your neighborhood is poor it is a good indicator that a proper diagnosis may be harder to come by. Despite significant progress in early detection techniques, a wide degree of variance amongst minorities still exists when properly identifying ASD. Consider these numbers: it is estimated that less than 50 percent of children are diagnosed before kindergarten (CDC, “Can Developmental Screening Provide Early Detection?” United States Department of Health and Human Services, October 29, 2004). A recent study of children enrolled in the federal health insurance program Medicaid found that the average age of diagnosis for white children with ASD is six years old, while African American children tend to receive a diagnosis about two years later (Reuters News Center, “Autism Diagnosis Comes Later for Blacks Than Whites,” November 22, 2002). Recent national and California-specific surveys of parents report that Hispanic children are less likely to have an ASD diagnosis (CDC, “Fact Sheet, MMWR – ‘Parental Report of Diagnosed Autism in Children Aged 4-17 Years, United States, 2003-04’,” May 4, 2006). These findings indicate that there may be differences in symptom recognition and diagnosis across racial and ethnic groups, as well as disparities in access to information about ASD

Any parent regardless of race or socioeconomic standing who loves their child will fight the system in order to ensure the best care possible. and continuity of health care. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that developmental screenings “be incorporated at every wellchild visit” and “screening tests should be administered regularly at the 9, 18, and 30month visits” (AAP, “Identifying Infants and Young Children with Developmental Disorders in the Medical Home: An Algorithm for Developmental Surveillance and Screening,” Vol. 118 No. 1 July 2006, pp. 405-420). However, surveys of pediatricians show that few of them implement effective means to screen patients for developmental problems, and many pediatricians report being inadequately trained in developmental assessments and lacking time and reimbursement to conduct these assessments (AAP, “Identifying Infants and Young Children with Developmental Disorders in the Medical Home: An Algorithm for Developmental Surveillance and Screening,” Vol. 118 No. 1 July 2006, pp. 405-420). All these facts indicate that we still have a long way to go to bridge the ethic and socioeconomic divides that continue to impede poor and minority communities from receiving adequate services for chil-

dren with ASD. Currently, Congress is attempting to level the playing field through The Autism Treatment Acceleration Act which aims to meet the comprehensive needs of, and improve the quality of life for, individuals with autism and their families. While the legislation will undoubtedly reduce familial costs associated with ASD by mandating insurance companies to cover certain costs, it is unlikely to substantially impact poor and minority children whose parents do not have health coverage. For true impacts to be made, Congress must incorporate the autism debate within the much broader ‘public option’ discussion. While there may be a host of unintended consequences from a governmentbacked healthcare system, for the purposes of this examination, no fair and equal treatment under the law will ever be afforded to poor and minority children with ASD until they have real access to quality healthcare.

Aspirin Helps in Fight Against Colorectal Cancer

HEALTH

DOCTOR, DOCTOR? Questions Often Asked HERBERT OKUN MD

BY AFP A daily dose of aspirin decreased the risk of mortality in patients with colorectal cancer, a study found. t has been known for some time that aspirin use reduced the risk of developing colorectal cancer. But this study, which needs to be conf irmed by additional research, according to its authors, found that in women and men a dose of aspirin could cut mortality rates among those already diagnosed with the disease. The study, published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), looked at the cases of 1,279 men and women diagnosed with nonmetastasizing colorectal cancer at different stages, from 1980-2008. One of two groups took a regular dose of aspirin (325 mg) at least twice a week (for a total of 650 mg or more per week). Patients already diagnosed with colorectal cancer and on the aspirin dose were 29 percent less likely to die of colorectal cancer and 21 percent less likely do die overall. Aspirin might prevent tumor growth by inhibiting the production of COX-2, an enzyme that promotes cell proliferation "overexpressed," for example, in colorectal tumors. Among those patients known to have a COX-2 positive tumor, the death rate

Colorectal cancer patients who took aspirins regularly were 29% less likely to die from the disease. among aspirin takers plunged by 61 percent. Overall aspirin reduced mortality by 38 percent for this group. "These results suggest aspirin may influence the biology of established colorectal tumors in addition to preventing their recurrence," said Andrew Chan, a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital and professor at Harvard Medical School.

herMatrx is the most popular microwave treatment used in the United States for the relief of the annoying symptoms of benign prostate enlargement. Prostate enlargement affects about half the male population over the age of fifty. The prostate grows slowly and gradually compresses the outflow of urine coming from the bladder. Think of the prostate as a doughnut, with a hole in the middle. This hole is the passageway that urine must take to leave the bladder. Urine, which collects in the bladder until it is time to urinate, must then pass through this hole in the prostate to get out through the penis. Benign enlargement of the prostate, while not cancerous, can if left untreated, cause serious damage to the kidneys endangering a man’s health and even his life. The symptoms most often include a slowing and weakening of the urinary stream, dribbling or leaking, forking of the stream, hesitancy in starting perhaps even requiring pushing or straining, increased frequency of urination particularly at night, interfering with sleep, sudden urgency causing incontinence with wetting, voiding with an interrupted or intermittent stream and a feeling of incomplete emptying at the end of urination. These symptoms may occur in a

variety of combinations with greater or lesser intensity from time to time. At one time, the only treatment options available for this condition were drug therapy and all the various prostate surgeries, including open surgery with an incision, closed surgery including the TURP (Roto-Rooter), TUNA, which uses radio frequency waves applied through multiple needles penetrating into the flesh of the prostate and various LASER surgeries, all of which, require hospitalization and/or anesthesia and entail the risk of incontinence, bleeding, blood transfusion, impotency and interference with ejaculation. Drug therapy is usually but not always safe and effective and side effects may include nasal congestion, blurriness of vision, allergy, breast enlargement and/or discomfort, dizziness and erectile dysfunction. The neverending expense and bother of a lifetime of medication must also be considered as well as the danger of possible drug interactions with other medications the patient may require for other conditions. Fortunately, there is now available a new non-surgical method of treatment, Trans Urethral Microwave Thermotherapy or “TUMT” for short, which requires no hospitalization or anesthesia. Since there is no cutting, which might result in bleeding, no blood transfusions are required. Over the past seven years, I have found TherMatrx “TUMT” treatment given in the off ice to be very effective in relieving the symptoms of prostate

Pearls of Wisdom The Sabbath and The Pleasentness of The Soul Chapter 41, Part 2-3 B Y R A B B I Y O S H I YA O P I N T O the faster it shrinks till it disappears completely. Just like when a tree has been uprooted from its original spot to be replanted in a new place - the further the distance to the new area, the lesser its remaining vitality. The chances of its blooming again are almost nil. The Manah was different from any other existing type of food because its seed was planted in the Heaven above. It descended from that high source to be given to the children of Israel in the desert. The vast distance between its starting point and the desert allowed it but an ephemeral existence before it quickly shrunk and vanished each day during the six days of the week. Every Sabbath, a dramatic change takes place: all the worlds remove their material characteristics and ascend upwards. Singing the Heaven's praise with great exuberance and great yearning for holiness, they are elevated all the way up to the universe point of origin, from which emanates all the worldly beneficence. This is where the Sabbath Manah came from, directly from the Divine source. It was tightly connected to and deeply rooted in the universe point of origination; thus enabling it to stretch its vitality and remain fresh for a longer period of time… The holy rabbi Menachem Mendel from Rimonov had a special custom: each Friday night, he always cut seven pieces of challah for "Hamotzee” for the Sabbath dinner and ate them with great intent, concentrating on each slice so that it would draw and bring abundance each and every day of the coming week. The rabbi used to say: The vitality of the whole week is concealed inside the Holy Sabbath. He who can direct his vitality for the rest of the week to be on the same level

PRESERVING THE TORAH The righteous Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz asked: Why was the Manah that came down from the sky during the first six days of the week different from the Manah that came down right before the Sabbath? Why did the daily Manah last only one day and was inedible on the next, any of its leftover totally infested with worms and covered with mildew, while the Sabbath Manah was the complete opposite: from the time it came down on Friday until the end of the Sabbath it maintained its original freshness! he answer is as follows: the further anything moves away from its source, the lesser its essence and vitality become. The bigger the distance,

(as the Sabbath) will see great blessings in all his endeavors!

“The righteous Rabbi Mordechai from Nedvurna used to keep the Shabbat tcholent for days after the Sabbath was over and used it to perform miracles.” The Chatam Sofer also attributed the great result of many events to the slice of the Motzee of the Sabbath night. He used to put that slice away for safe keeping for the rest of the week as an omen for salvation and blessings. One day a fire broke out in his house - he threw a piece of that slice into the fire and it was instantly extinguished! The great righteous sages used to keep the Sabbath tcholent and eat a small portion of it every day till Tuesday, in order to prolong the pleasantness of the Sabbath during the workdays. The righteous Rabbi Mordechai from Nedvurna used to keep the Shabbat tcholent for days after the Sabbath was over and used it to perform miracles. Terminally ill people

were fully recovered and barren women gave birth after tasting the tcholent from the rabbi's special pot, even after mildew set in. It had the power to bring salvation and mercy. Many miracles are known to have happened due to the holiness of the Kiddush cup; other incredible events are attributed to the power of the Sabbath fish and the many other delicacies prepared specially in its honor. The Holy Ba'al Shem Tov saved another rabbi who was about to convert, by sending him a piece of challah from the 3rd meal… All of this is because each and every item associated with the Holy Sabbath contains incredible secrets connected with the power of miracles and healing. It can open barren wombs, bring the simpleton around and make the blind see. Our Sages of blessed memory said that when visiting the sick, one should recite: "Sabbath Hee Milizok (Sabbath prohibits us from crying out, no cry of pain on Sabbath) and the recovery is near!" Rabbi Meir said: "She (the Sabbath) is capable of having (and showing) great mercy (= miracles)!"

Parashat Shoftim, 5769, 2009: “Understanding Chodesh Elul” BY RABBI DAVID ETENGOFF Dedicated to the sacred memory of my sister-in-law, Ruchama Rivka Sondra alehah hashalom and the refuah shlaimah of Sarah bat Rachel and Yosef Shmuel ben Miriam. lul, like the other names of the months of the year that make up the Hebrew calendar, is actually an Aramaic name that was brought back to Israel by the exiles returning from Babylon (Talmud Yerushalmi, Rosh Hashanah 1:2, 6a). Our people adopted these names during the period of Ezra (mid5th century BCE). Besides being the name of the sixth month on the Hebrew calendar (starting from Nissan), does “Elul” signify a particular thought or idea? I believe that Onkelos (first century CE, see Talmud Bavli, Gittin 56b), the famous author of the Aramaic translation of the Torah that bears his name, helps provide us with an answer to this query. He uses the Aramaic word “vial’lun” as a translation of the Hebrew word “v’yaturu” (to search with great thoroughness), as found at the very beginning of Hashem’s command to Moshe to send out the spies to examine Eretz Yisrael. (Sefer Bamidbar 13:2) It is fascinating to note that “vial’lun” contains the Hebrew letters “aleph” and two instances of “lamed” – the very same letters, and order thereof, as “Elul.” In other words, it appears that Elul, on the etymological level, has a great deal to do with searching and examining. If “Elul” has the above connotation, what exactly are we searching for during this month that precedes, and is thereby preparatory for, Tishri, and the yamim noraim (Days of Awe), Succot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah? It appears to me that the answer to this

question is twofold. In my opinion, man is searching for himself and he is searching for G-d, for his Creator. Allow me to explain. Elul is preeminently the period of the year wherein we look back at what we accomplished and what we failed to accomplish. We look back, as well, on the priorities that we set, and the legitimate ones that we failed to keep.

“How is man in search of G-d? How can finite man possibly search for his infinite Creator?” We look back, moreover, on the commitments to Hashem that we made, and those that we unfortunately broke. It is a period, therefore, during which we reflect upon the famous words of Shlomo Hamelech (King Solomon) as presented in the third chapter of his masterful examination of the human spirit known as Kohelet: 1. Everything has an appointed season, and there is a time for every matter under the heaven. 2. A time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted. 3. A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break and a time to build. 4. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time of wailing and a time of dancing. 5. A time to cast stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. 6. A time to seek and a time to lose;

a time to keep and a time to cast away. 7. A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak. 8. A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. (This, and all following Tanach translations, are from The Judaic Press Complete Tanach) We must ask ourselves, in total selfhonesty, did we use our time properly during the past year to serve Hakodesh Baruch Hu and to keep His mitzvot, or did we squander this precious time by chasing after the fleeting fads and nonsense that pass for the culture of our age? In other words, through introspective analysis, we must encounter ourselves; we must examine our motives and our actions. In this way, man is in search of himself. He must f ind out who he really is before he dares to stand before the Melech Haolam (the King of the Cosmos) on the judgment day of Rosh Hashanah. How is man in search of G-d? How can f inite man possibly search for his inf inite Creator? As Dovid Hamelech so aptly stated: “O L-rd, what is man that You should know him, the son of man, that You should consider him? Man is like a breath; his days are as a fleeting shadow.” (Sefer Tehillim 144: 3-4) Then, too, Yeshiyahu Hanavi (Isaiah) described Hashem in this fashion: “So says the Lord, ‘The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool; which is the house that you will build for Me, and which is the place of My rest?’” (66:1) If Hashem remains beyond our comprehension and apprehension, how can man search for Him? It appears that He will forever remain out of our reach and beyond our grasp. Thus, it appears to be the greatest of all

absurdities to even think that man could be in search of G-d. Once again, however, the word “Elul,” itself contains a hint at how man can be in search of G-d. As Rabbi David ben Yosef ben David Abudraham (middle of the 14th century) notes in Seder Tef ilot Rosh Hashanah u’Perushah (The Order of the Prayers on Rosh Hashanah and their Explanation): There are those places that are accustomed to rise very early [for slichot – penitential prayers] beginning on Rosh Chodesh Elul. This is the case since on that day Moshe went up on Mount Sinai for the third time to receive the second set of the Tablets of the Law (luchot sh’niot). At that point he prayed on behalf of the Jewish people and his prayers were accepted. Hashem gave him the luchot and he descended from Mount Sinai on Yom Kippur. This day was then established as a permanent day of pardon and forgiveness for all generations. The homiletical interpreters (darshanim) provide a scriptural basis [for the incredible mercy bestowed upon us by Hashem]: ani l’dodi v’dodi li (I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine, Megilat Shir Hashirim 6:3), the initials of “Elul.” (Translation, my own) Ani l’dodi v’dodi li may now be seen as the basis for an entirely new understanding of the relationship that obtains between Hashem and His people. It is His love for us, and our love for Him, that enables us to look upon the Almighty as Yedid Nefesh (the Friend and Beloved of our soul). Yes, He is l’aleh u’l’aleh min kol birchata v’shirata (beyond any and all blessings and songs of praise) that we could possibly

Exit, Stage Left: My Encounter with The Boychick Affair BY ROBERT KABAKOFF It ended as suddenly as it began - a late night text message to my cell-phone. The beginning was a Sunday afternoon call about six weeks earlier. Both calls from a heretofore-unknown Amy Lord, producer, writer and director of The Boychick Affair: The Bar-Mitzvah of Harry Boychick. bout noon one mid-July Sunday she called and said, although it was short notice, would I mind coming in to observe the performance and pay close attention to Tito Sanchez, the mysterious Spanish speaking Cuban “uncle?” The idea was that I might take it on as an understudy and begin performing about two weeks later? Checked my schedule: bicycling in Central Park, webbrowsing, dinner alone.

I showered and headed to the theater. Sitting in the lobby of the Times Square Arts Center among other arriving “guests” as the audience for this interactive theatrical production is designated, I had no idea of what to expect.

When an attractive middle-aged woman with piercing green eyes, approached, I inquired, “Amy?” to which she responded: “No, Sheryl (Harry’s mom).” She grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me upstairs into the “sanctuary” and the world of Harry Boychick and his dysfunctional family’s cheap, decidedly crass, hip-hop Bar-Mitzvah bash. During the next three performances, I learned all I could about Tito, the role I was to take over. I’d be performing without so much as an audition or a rehearsal. Weird I thought – but life can often be weird – so I went with it. The characters and actors seemed interesting. One, a talented fellow from my old Long island neighborhood, was Herbert A. Walsh, playing the role of Harry’s arrogant dead-beat Dad, Aaron Boychick. Herby had obvious talent, perfectly timed humor and genuine warmth. Second, a fellow thespian named Adam Hocherman, a resident of my new Upper West Side (Manhattan) neighborhood and a very talented actor – was playing the aging, pot-providing Hippie Uncle. In real life, his roles had been far more daring: he had been a volunteer paratrooper in the IDF who saw action in Lebanon, and, in his words, made

his share if “house calls” into enemy territory. With these guys, I felt immediately confident, relaxed and comfortable. With the others, not quite the same. At least one cast member made a point of distancing herself from the subject, the ritual and the people who practice it, making sure not to be mistaken as a lover or even admirer of “the Jews." Further signs being in the wrong place, with the wrong folks, and in the wrong production came quickly. My real unease began shortly afterwards when I heard the “pregnant Lesbian Reconstructionist rabbi” character announce that “her congregation” had collected enough garbage to recycle and produce a Torah cover during “Green Jew Week.” I made what I thought was a diplomatic, mention to producer, writer, director Ms. Lord saying that such a reference connecting Torah covers and recycled garbage was horrifically reminiscent of exhibits I witnessed at Yad v'Shem. Perhaps, I suggested, that line was better left unsaid entirely or at least, “Why not keep it to “challah covers?” Still, not very funny, but clearly not so terrifyingly ghoulish or insultingly sacrilegious. After all, we domestic Yids aren’t likely to burn the theater or lynch the playwright, but nonetheless, a Jew does bleed when pricked. No one - no one sane that is - even a Jewish actor, likes to bleed. One of the other strange if less than endearing characters, “Lenny Lizard,” a sort of short-legged long-armed dark-skinned toocool-for-school wannabee MC - played by an actor who claims to be a Jewish Israeli citizen originally from Columbia now living in New York City – makes a point of mentioning that

“it’s fun to be a Jew … sometimes…” which sounds as condescending as it is sarcastic. Hey, if it isn’t “fun” I wondered – then what’s the point? Once I took the role of Tito and began crafting the character, I decided to wear my seldom displayed, but very beautiful golden Ma’agen David on stage. I confirmed with producer Amy that Tito would be a Cuban Jew. Tito Sanchez, Sheryl’s real love and the only non-dysfunctional decent character in the play, it turns out, is Harry’s real (biological) father. Every other character portrayed is a liar, a phony, a cheat, purveyor of drugs, indulger in incest and or some other form of sociopathic debasement. If Tito, the story’s only hero, is portrayed as a gentile, an innocent nested among this dysfunctional, evil hodgepodge of less than endearing, almost exclusively Jewish, family of characters -perverts, pathetic singing-dancing narcissists, con-men, doll clutching clowns and robe wearing fools - it would be a stretch too far for this proud Israelite performer to accept. She agreed, which, truthfully, surprised me. Although Ms. Lord suggests she is a Jewess, a deliberately-placed, large wooden crucifix hangs in the hallway of her lowerWest Side apartment greets visitors. Cutting to the final act: Wednesday night, four performances in, exactly twelve hours before the next call-time, a text message appeared saying that I wasn’t “needed” at Thursday’s performance; the original Tito was back in town and I was now expendable, although I had been “booked” for Thursday’s performance. Was the real issue that Tito, in my portrayal, was a proud stand-up Yid, and made the producer uncomfortable? A gentile Tito –aka, the real hero – would much better fit the psycho-social-theatrical the bill. Guess I’ll never know what really went down in the soul of Amy Lord, or, by extension, in the heart of Sheryl, Harry’s mom/Tito’s secret lover/ex-wife of checkbouncing Aaron Boychick. Whatever the truth may or may not be – this Tito is done with Harry Boychick and his morally dubious family, this Tito is quickly and happily moving forward and in the right direction, surely and clearly, moving right along. Robert Kabakoff is a New York City actor who is proud of his Jewish heritage. He is a volunteer at the annual Israel Film Festival.

Cosmetics News From Fresh Citron de Vigne for Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, the husband-and-wife cofounders of Fresh comsetics, Citron de Vigne was simply too good to keep to themselves. The fragrance was inspired by the trip Roytberg took to the champagne region of France. "Alina would call me literally every hour and would describe the scents to me. I said to her, 'By the time you arrive home, hopefully I will have something for you to smell,'" says Glazman. "I wanted to capture the essence of Champagne. I wanted it to be effervescent." Glazman developed a pinot noir accord for the scent's main note, and that did the trick. When Roytberg returned, her fragrance was waiting, and she quickly discovered that she couldn't leave the house without strangers asking her what

she was wearing. Eventually the couple decided to add it to Fresh's line. The Museum of Modern Art presents "Ron Arad: No Discipline," the f irst major US retrospective of Arad's work to October 19. Among the most influential designers of our time, Arad (b. Israel 1951) stands out for his adventurous approach to form, structure, technology, and materials in work that spans the disciplines of industrial design, sculpture, architecture, and mixed-medium installations. Arad's relentless experimentation with materials of all kinds--from steel, aluminum, and bronze to thermoplastics, crystals, fiberoptics, and LEDs-- and his radical reinterpretation of some of the most established archetypes in furniture-from armchairs and rocking chairs to desk lamps and chandeliers--have put him at the forefront of contemporary design -- 11a.m. to 11:15a.m. with remarks on the sixth floor. Arad's accomplishments over the past 30 years have stirred up the design world by repeatedly updating the concept of the architect/desigtner/artist and repositioning design side by side with art, both in discourse and in the market--all while keeping one foot firmly in industrial production and large scale distribution. Idiosyncratic and surprising, Arad's designs communicate the joy of invention, pleasure, humor, and pride in the display of their technical and constructive skills. NYU course Sept. 30-Nov. 18. "Jewish Communities in Italy: Freedom and Confinement." Until the 1860s, Italy was a mosaic of states and kingdoms, many of which had Jewish communities whose fortunes depended on the largesse of those who ruled them and the religious climate. Jews living in Ferrara under the d'Este dynasty enjoyed a privileged interlude, whereas Jews in Venice were confined to a ghetto. This course highlights important Italian Jewish communities in Rome, Mantua, Ferrara, Venice, Turin, Livorno, and Pitigliano, as well as those in southern Italy and Sicily. Rapport with the surrounding culture, both as creators (Solomon Rossi) and subjects (The Merchant of Venice) is emphasized.

Continued from page 4 an examination of all the relevant information." It said it would "enforce law in those places [outposts] where it had been broken." Left-wing MKs competed to criticize the tour, as well as Ya'alon's statements about rebuilding Homesh. "The August heat seems to have gotten to the right-wing ministers," Meretz chairman Haim Oron said. "Their decla-

rations about the need to return to Homesh prove that they are starting to dangerously hallucinate. These ministers apparently have decided to intensify Israel's conflict with the world." Labor rebel MK Eitan Cabel said the tour proved that Israel had a "rightwing, delusional government." "Woe to the government whose ministers take an active role in challenging

the rule of law," he said. Fellow Labor rebel MK Ophir PazPines blamed both the prime minister and Labor chairman Ehud Barak and called on the party to leave the coalition. "Netanyahu must decide if he is the prime minister of the nation or of the extreme right," Paz-Pines said. "Amid such irresponsible expressions of the

ministers, Netanyahu is hiding and Barak is remaining silent. Even Labor must have red lines." Sources close to Barak responded by promising that outposts would be removed and the rule of law would be maintained.

Interior Minister Opens Debate on Plan for National Identity Data Base...Continued from page 4 biometric database? Assuming there is such a database, how can its security be assured? And how should use of such a database be regulated? "If the public feels that there are good answers to these three questionsâ€Ś. I think people will feel better about the existence of such a database, which holds our most intimate details," said Amidror. Prof. Shimon Schocken, head of the IDC's School of Computer Science, said that the way the law was being passed in the Knesset looked like underhanded opportunism. He said that planners of the law didn't consult with its opponents from academia, some of whom, he said, are "world-renowned experts." "Where were you during the committee discussions?" retorted Sheetrit, in response to Schocken's statement. "This is one of the laws in which the deliberations were the most comprehensive and serious. No one from academia showed up." Sheetrit said that the committee he chaired consulted top-ranking experts before approving the proposal and that many changes were made along the way. Sheetrit, who initiated the biometric bill when he was interior minister in the

last government, said that it was necessary to move over to biometrically secured identif ication cards because Israel's current IDs are among the worst in the world. "Even the Palestinian documentation is of a higher standard and offers more security," he said. "According to police numbers, there are 350,000 people in Israel who have fake identities," said Sheetrit. "Who are these people? Not Jews or the children of Jews, not Israelis or their children. It's all sorts of riffraff like thieves and criminals, smugglers and terrorists." Sheetrit said that police report on tens of thousands of crimes committed using fake identities. "People don't understand that individuals' safety and privacy are in danger today and that biometric protection will help them," he said. Sheetrit said that there was no opposition to the idea that identity documents need to be replaced. He tried to alleviate concerns over a biometric database by presenting the safeguards that the bill puts in place - to prevent both external hacking and misuse by the authorities. He explained that only a small group of specially screened people would ever

have physical access to the database, as part of an Interior Ministry unit formed specif ically for the task. The database would be split into two parts, one containing the biometric information - photos and f ingerprints - and the other with the names and identif ication numbers. Both, he said, would be strictly encrypted and would only be used together under specif ic conditions specif ied in the bill. What the bill actually says is that a court can order the release of information from the database only in cases where all other avenues of investigation were found insuff icient and if the judge were convinced the case was of vital public importance. Under certain conditions the police can also pass on information to security services, the L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir, state prosecutors and foreign law enforcement agencies. Sheetrit said Israel already had large biometric databases, kept by the military, Border Control, the Defense Ministry, the Population Administration and even by employment centers. "I haven't seen anyone try to hack into any of them," he said. Eitan spoke mostly about his con-

cerns over the way the bill was passed in committee. He criticized Sheetrit for pushing many of the bill's clauses through committee with only one vote his own - and disapproved of the repeated referral to security demands in order to silence pertinent questions from opponents. "Shame on the state whose parliament doesn't debate secret matters through the proper channels. This method corrupts security elements they will abuse it," said Eitan. Civil rights lawyer Haim Ravia expressed concern over what he perceived as vagueness and ambiguity in some sections of the bill. "It is not exactly clear what the database will be used for," said Ravia. "I'm worried that in time it will be too readily available and commonly used." Ravia said he was especially concerned over the use of photos, as they could be used for identif ication without the person being identif ied even knowing it. "With f ingerprints you have to be with the authorities for them to identify you, but with facial recognition programs, you'll never know about it."

U.S. Retail Sales Down, Jobless Claims Up...Continued from page 18 around in America's battered housing industry, a private group reports the number of new home foreclosure f ilings rose 7 percent in July from the previous month, and are up nearly a third from a year ago. Rick Sharga is vice president of RealtyTrac, which compiled the numbers. "This month's report was particularly dismal. We really do not see much good

news in any part of the country as it relates to foreclosure activity," Sharga said. It was a rash of home foreclosures after a prolonged period of lax lending standards that many economists blame for America's f inancial meltdown last year. The central bank said it sees signs that the economy is "leveling out" after a prolonged downturn. Meanwhile,

Europe's largest economies have returned to economic growth. Germany and France reported a .3 percent rise in second quarter gross domestic product. Economist Lakshman Achuthan shares Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's oft-repeated belief that U.S. economic performance will improve by year's end. "The fact that retail sales come in weaker than expected does not change

the future expectation that this recession is actually drawing to a close," Achuthan said. Even if the U.S. economy rebounds, most economists expect the recovery to be slow, with unemployment rates remaining stubbornly high for months to come.

Suitcase Proves Nazi Fugitive 'Dr. Death' Was in North Africa...Continued from page 3 Africa, traces of the mineral lime, in a form which only existed in Cairo, were found in Heim's suitcase, conf irming his presence there. The suitcase, apparently discovered by owners of the Kasr el-Madina Hotel in Cairo where Heim lived, contained letters and f inancial and medical records, which the German police said indisputably linked the suitcase to

Heim. But Zuroff told the Post that while he did not doubt the German police's f indings, the analysis had done little to determine whether Heim was still alive. "This case is far from a closed," said Zuroff. "He might have died in Cairo, but there is no way to corroborate that. If we were to accept the evidence as it has been presented until now we would

not be doing our jobs." According to the German report, off icials in Cairo issued a certif ied copy of a death certif icate under his alias. But the police have been unable to conf irm that the certif icate referred to Heim. "At what point concrete results can be expected is not yet clear," the police statement said.

While the analysis represented another step toward discovering the complete story of Heim, the book would remain open until investigators f ind his body, Zuroff told the Post. "These f indings help, but it's not the main issue," Zuroff said. "The main issue is to f ind his body. Until then we are unable to verify this version or any version of the events."

in the process of launching multiple micro Web sites to diversify its content and readership, with each division reaching a different demographic segment. The Jewish Journal, most of the readers of which are young, has monetized the Internet through advertising in e-mail blasts

to subscribers and affiliate programs. While it is not a substitute for print display advertisements, Eshman said it shows it is possible to profit from the Web. Forward had many suitors for an online partnership, ultimately choosing Zeek.net, a Jewish literary journal. The joint venture

will introduce more readers to each Web site and provide a more diverse and attractive audience for advertisers, Eisner said. Natural selection or not, Jewish newspapers will have to evolve, and Joffe said that evolution will have to take place on the Internet.

No second Thoughts as Obama gave Robinson an Award...Continued from page 21 interest in a peace deal with Israel. As Robert Malley, the former Clinton administration staffer who is a prominent critic of Israel, wrote in The New York Times last week, for either group "to accept Israel as a Jewish state would legitimize the Zionist enterprise that brought about their tragedy. It would render the Palestinian national struggle at best meaningless, at worst criminal." Thus, the only possible purpose of the Obama initiative will be to attempt again to bludgeon Israel into making concessions to Palestinians that are uninterested in peace. The administration is also still committed to "engagement" with Iran's despotic Islamist regime and continues to appear uninterested in any serious effort to stop Teheran from gaining nuclear capability. Though both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have talked about giving the Iranians until

after the General Assembly of the United Nations meets this fall before attempting to organize more stringent sanctions, this is not a credible stance since such efforts will not only be undermined by lackluster European support and open opposition from China and Russia, they will almost certainly be too late to stop Teheran's nuclear timetable. On both these issues, despite their hopes that Obama may ultimately step back from a full-throttle battle, the proIsrael community may soon f ind itself looking into the business end of a White House propaganda machine that will feel conf ident about dismissing concerns about Israel's security in much the same way that they have trashed opponents of their health care plan. There are those who take the point of view that the willingness of mainstream groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and others to allow any daylight

to be seen between themselves and the White House on the Robinson affair is a sign that Jewish spines are stiffening in response to Obama's attitude on Jewish security issues. But that strikes me as over-optimistic at best since left-wing groups with growing clout among administration circles, such as J Street, dutifully supported the president on the issue. So long as his leftist base sticks with him, it's doubtful that the president will worry about support from mainstream liberals who are loathe to make common cause with Obama's critics. Though they may have been surprised that any major Jewish groups had the chutzpah to oppose the president even on this issue, the nonchalance with which Obama and his apologists road roughshod over any opposition to the award may well have taught the White House that they can get away with anything. There may have been some who

thought Robinson's award would prove to be Obama's Bitburg moment - a symbolic episode that forever tarnished Ronald Reagan's reputation even among his most ardent Jewish supporters. But while Reagan paid a heavy price for offending Jewish sensibilities by honoring dead SS members at a German cemetery, Obama escaped from the Robinson award with few scars and little media attention to the story. Far from serving as a warning to the White House to tread carefully in the future when it comes to Israel or the Jews, Mary Robinson's medal may turn out instead to be a trial run for far worse outrages yet to come from this president.

focus of American-Israeli tensions last month, after the US demanded that Ateret Cohanim - the group overseeing construction at the hotel and sponsoring

Magnificent Roman Mansion Uncovered in City of David...Continued from page 3 stones are collapsed. It seems we have archeological evidence of the results of the earthquake that struck our region in 363 CE." Meanwhile, controversy continues to swirl around the City of David Archeological Park where archeologists, Jewish new residents and veteran

Palestinian residents vie for space on the crowded hillside. Palestinians residents have protested the extent of excavations within the Silwan neighborhood, which is intertwined with the archeological park, claiming the digging has weakened the structural integrity of their houses and

is being done for political, rather than archeological reasons. The City of David Foundation, which is funding the dig with the permission of the Antiquities Authority, def ines it mission as "continuing King David's legacy and strengthening Israel's current and historic connection to

Jerusalem." Ben-Ami told the Post he has only conducted his excavation within the open areas of the car park and does not intend to request permits from the Antiquities Authority to extend the digging under the adjacent neighborhood.

Brooklyn Man, Philip Barry Suspected of $40-Million Ponzi Scheme...Continued from page 8 investors were retired and elderly. They often paid in cash. When the economy started to slow down, investors began to panic about their f inances: they started asking about their money. Investigators found that instead of investing the money, Barry bought over 1,000 acres of lakefront property at Lake Joseph in upstate New York. Some investors saw a return, but most did not. Barney Davis, a former high school sports coach in Brooklyn, noticed that his $3,000 quarterly inter-

est checks began bouncing back and grew suspicious. This was a few years ago. "I started thinking I'd better gradually start taking it out….He never paid me again," Davis, 63, remarked. At the beginning of 2008, investors began to sue Barry. After Judge Sifton took the side of the investors in court orders and summary judgments last winter, Barry declared bankruptcy. Barry appeared in U.S. Bankruptcy Court dressed in tattered shoes with holes and a raggedy shirt, making sure

to dress the part. "The Debtor [Philip Barry] ... conducted an extensive Ponzi scheme which resulted in catastrophic losses to their investors," Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Milton wrote. He gave his approval for an auction of Barry's property along Lake Joseph. A court trustee is liquidating Barry’s remaining assets in an attempt to pay back some of the investors he cheated. Even the auctioned property will not be enough to pay back the $6,400,000 that he owes to his investors.

Several investors, even among those who lost thousands of dollars, still stand on Barry’s side and see him as being the only one who can recover their money. They hope he will come out of bankruptcy so he can develop the property and return their money. "We don't want to see Phil in jail because he's the only one who can save us," said an investor who lost $10,000. "If he goes to jail ... none of us investors will see a dime."

WELCOME TO THE JERSEY SHORE

Judi and the Jollybeans To Premiere At The Jewish Community Center of Deal BY RENEE BEYDA Interested in having your kids run to do their homework? Eat vegetables? Get along with his or her siblings? Well, this great behavior can be expected after taking them to a super enjoyable show at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center at the JCC on Tuesday September 1st, at 2pm. udi and the Jollybeans is an original musical production created by renowned radio personality Judi Franco Chalme, who stars in the show with her two daughters, Mary, 19, who plays Janey Jollybean and Roslyn, 13, who plays Baby Jollybean. The show is an interactive, rollicking adventure for kids, ages 2-11, wherein members of the audience are invited onstage to sing and dance along. Catchy tunes and feel-good lyrics combined with the harmony of melodious voices and an upbeat acting style are some of the ingredients that make this high energy production so appealing. Judi says, “The interactive performance is designed to entertain and captivate even those kids who have difficulty sitting still. Parents who would not normally bring their kid to the theater can come to this show with confidence. “ The History of Judi and her Jolly Bean Production 18 years ago, when Judi was a stayat-home mom with her f irst two children, she wrote and recorded the music to Judi and the Jollybeans. While the songs were sung over and over again in her home and in the homes of all of her nieces and nephews, actually turning the music into some sort of a production remained a distant dream.

Judi and the Jolly Beans is an interactive adventure for kids ages 2-11 years old. Judi let this dream rest as she dedicated her life to raising her family and to her very successful career as talk show host “Jersey Judi” on NJ 101.5 talk radio, known by 800,000 listeners. Nine months ago Judi made a shift in her life. Due to family challenges and a need for her to be more available for her husband and children, she left the radio station. Since then she has been spreading her talent around. Once a week Judi moderates a teen talk show called “Unknown Caller” at ITNT Radio, an Internet-based radio station run by teens

out of the Sephardic Community Center in Brooklyn. In this forum, Judi and a panel of 5-6 teens discuss issues dealing with dating, drinking, social pressures and so on. Judi is also a motivational speaker and has been asked to speak at many her community’s functions. And now, with the enthusiasm and participation of her lovely family, Judi has been able to revive the treasure of music and lyrics of Judi and the Jollybeans and share it with kids throughout the world! Her website judiandthejollybeans.com has “hits”

daily. Judi is grateful that so many are enjoying the positive messages and entertaining music that she and her daughters have created. A family that sings together stays together “One of the reasons I created Judi and the Jollybeans was to fulf ill a lifelong desire of performing with my daughters. I consider it one of my greatest professional achievements,” said Judi. “I was always a theater buff, and my kids were always involved in acting. This was a perfect opportunity to be able to be creative together.” Judi’s husband Mark and their two sons are also in on the act. Mark and son Raymond, 17, are in charge of advertising and promotion. “Mark sells tickets to everyone he knows!” Judi states.. Their other son, Jo Jo, 10, not only took the promotional picture, but performs in a couple of the acts as well. “We work nicely as a group and are enjoying this time with each other. Radio took me away from them for so many years. Now it is time to do something all together. My goal is to take this family project on the road!” So if you are up for a wholesome, yet modern show that will make your child sing and dance long after you leave the theater, join Judi and her family on September 1st. Judi says, “Even my 13year-old daughter’s friends who come to see the show love it: They don’t want to admit it, but they do.” The Axelrod Performing Arts Theater is located at the JCC 100 Grant Avenue in Deal, N.J. Tickets are $12 for children and $18 for adults. Call 732531-9100 for more information.

Coverage for Autism Treatments Now the Rule in NJ BY ROBERT CORRALES Governor Jon S. Corzine signed legislation on Thursday making New Jersey the 14th state in the nation to require insurance companies to cover treatments for autism and other developmental disabilities. nder the bill, medically necessary speech, occupational and behavioral therapy must be covered up to $36,000 a year for individuals under 21 years old. “We have made the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders a top priority in New Jersey,” Governor Corzine said. “The legislation I signed recognizes there must be appropriate resources to treat and care for individuals with autism, and provide their families the support they need. By doing so, we enable those affected with autism to function as independent, produc-

tive, and empowered individuals and ease the burden of their loved ones.”

“In 2007, Governor Corzine signed a package of bills designed to improve autism treatment, training, education and research in the state. “ Autism is a spectrum of disorders that affects the development and functioning of a person’s verbal and non-verbal communication skills, social interactions and behavior patterns. New Jersey has the highest autism rate of any state in the nation. About 1 in 94 children in this state have been diagnosed with the disorder compared to the national average of 1 in 150

In 2007, Governor Corzine signed a package of bills designed to improve autism treatment, training, education and research in the state. These measures resulted in the creation of a statewide autism registry; mandated autism guidelines for healthcare professionals; transfer of the Governor’s Council on Medical Research and Treatment of Autism to the Department of Health and Senior Services; funding of six “Centers of Excellence;” development of autism/developmental disabled training for first responders and creation of the Adults with Autism Task Force.

New Jersey has made the diagnosis and treatment of autism a top priority.

Police Crack Down on Drivers Chris Christie Promises to Breaking The Speed Limit Reform Education System BY GERARD P. SCHARFENBERGER

Driving 5 miles per hour above the limit can give reason for a ticket and every state trooper is ordered to give a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF New Jersey has launched a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy, and the state has estimated that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. One million dollars of that money will go to pay state troopers over-time. here will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways as follows: I-295 North and South, I-95 Jersey Turnpike North and South I-80 East and West I-287 North and South I-78 East and West I-195 East and West I-280 East and West Route 130 - North and South

Garden State Parkway - North and South Driving 5 miles per hour above the limit can give reason for a ticket and every state trooper is ordered to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and are bringing in all of their part-timers on full time. If you work in NJ, NY, DE or CT, you will probably be on one of these highways. The price of a violation to show your driver's license, registration or insurance card at the time you are stopped, increased from $44.00 to $173.00. (Keep these documents in your car). And the fine for not having all three documents is $519.00!The fine forhand-held cell phone use while driving will be going up to $180.00.

The system of funding education in New Jersey, which relies almost exclusively on property taxes, has been a dismal failure. It has been a major contributing factor to New Jersey's unenviable distinction of having the highest property taxes in the country. Education funding accounts for nearly two-thirds of the property tax bill. It has produced mixed results in the quality of education across the state. erhaps nothing better exemplifies the problems in New New Jersey’s failure in the education sysJersey's education system than the failure of the inner-city tem is a result of not offering quality eduschools to offer a quality education cation in inner-city schools. to young people in those communities.

New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program Announces Community Incentives BY DOYAL SIDDELL The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) Clean Energy Program announced that its Community Partners Initiative will expand to offer a variety of financial incentives for communities that increase local participation in the state’s energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. To receive these incentives, towns must be registered program partners and achieve specific goals for community participation in one or more of New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program offerings. Towns may quality for up to $4,000 in incentives. ew Jersey is a national leader among states in providing clean energy incentives. In its effort to reduce energy use 20% by 2020, New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program provides incentives for consumers, businesses and municipalities to help recover their investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy. The Community Partners Initiative provides New Jersey communities with a forum and support to participate in the state’s clean energy initiatives.

“Energy eff iciency and renewable energy are key strategies outlined in Governor Corzine’s Energy Master Plan,” said NJBPU President Jeanne M. Fox. “They will help provide New Jersey with a safe and secure energy future on which to build our economy. They also help improve our air quality, control energy prices and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are changing our climate.” Newly-announced incentives range from $200-$1,000 per accomplishment. Key highlights of the Community Partners Initiative include: • Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® -- A f inancial incentive of $800 is awarded to municipalities for referring 100 residential home energy assessments through the program. These assessments lead to a “whole house solution” that enables home owners to reduce energy costs, improve energy eff iciency and reduce their carbon footprint. • Green NJ Resource Team Events -Incentives of $200 are awarded to municipalities for partnering with the NJ Green Resource Team to educate residents about the benef its of using energy eff icient lighting at home.

Focusing on clean energy will result in a healthier enviornment for us all to live in. New Jersey has a variety of energy eff iciency programs for customers to reduce their energy consumption and utility bills, including residential and commercial & industrial programs.

New Rx Contract Saves $540 New Jersey Gets a Bad Grade Million in Taxpayer Dollars on The National Beach Report BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF Governor Jon S. Corzine announced this week the state plans to award a new contract that will save New Jersey taxpayers approximately $540 million over the next five years. The contact is for the delivery of pharmacy benef its to active and retired public workers in the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) and the School Employees Health Benefits Program (SEHBP). he combined plans cover approximately 800,000 people including active, retired, COBRA individuals and their dependents. Of this number, approximately 670,000 individuals receive prescription coverage under the State plan. In an effort to deliver these benefits at a lower cost to taxpayers, last year, the Corzine Administration directed that the pharmacy benefits be managed directly by the State, starting January 1, 2010.

“Approximately one-third of the savings would accrue to local governments and school participants in the State health plans.” “Over the last three years, my administration has worked hard to contain the cost of providing public

employees and retirees with health care coverage by enacting major plan design changes, asking public employees to contribute more toward their coverage, and giving local governments more tools to manage their costs,” Governor Corzine said. "The pharmacy benef its management contract builds off these other reforms and delivers major savings to state taxpayers.” Absent this new contract, the aggregate cost of providing pharmacy benef its to covered employees, retirees and dependents over the next f ive years is projected to be $6.36 billion. Under the contract to be awarded, that cost would be reduced to $5.82 billion, a savings of $540 million over the life of the contract, or $108 million annually. Approximately one-third of the savings would accrue to local governments and school participants in the State health plans. Following an open and competitive bidding process, an evaluation committee recommended awarding the Pharmacy Benef its Management contract to Medco Health Solutions, Inc., of Franklin Lakes, NJ. Medco submitted the lowest bid, and its proposal received the highest technical score of all responses. Medco Health Solutions, Inc. was among eight bidders that submitted a proposal to the State. The others were: Aetna Life Insurance, Benecard Prescription Benef its Facilitator, Catalyst Rx, CIGNA, Express Scripts, Inc., Horizon Healthcare Services, and Prime Therapeutics LLC.

BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF The 19th annual beach report, "Testing the Waters: A Guide to Beach Water Quality at Vacation Beaches," prepared by the Natural Resources Defense Council, shows serious public health risks and problems with the health of beach water in New Jersey and across the nation. he report also identifies sources of beach water pollution, health risks and economic impacts. In the report released by Clean Ocean Action and Environment, it provides information about beach closings in New Jersey. New Jersey monitors 260 beaches: 224 designated bathing beaches nd 36 environmental stations. Even though many of these beaches are used by the public and environmental stations, they are not included in the council's analyses.

The report, which provides a 5-star rating guide for 200 of the nations most popular beaches, New Jersey only received a 3 out of 5 rating. This was based on state policies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends closures or advisories after one-day sampling. But New Jersey takes another sample the next day before issuing a closure, thereby extending the time the public is potentially exposed to pollution. Many of the environmental groups' recommendations are contained in the Clean Coastal Environment and Public Health Act sponsored by U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg and U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez. The act reauthorizes the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act of 2000 and would increase support for beach water protection programs and identif ication pollution sources.
