MAZAL TOV JIDO, ZAYDE PM BIBI NETANYAHU

BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF An Israeli has become the first woman in 45 years to win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

HAIM SABAN NEGOTIATING TO BUY 50% OF AL-JAZEERA

da Yonath, from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, won the 2009 prize along with American partners Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas Steitz for "studies of the structure of the ribosome." The ribosome is the mechanism in the body which translates the DNA code into life. The study will be used for advances in antibiotics. Professor Yonath, who is a single mother, received an honorary degree from Oxford University last year. "I was pretty surprised, because I wasn't expecting it," she told Israel Radio. Just days after the announcement Ms Yonath, was embroiled in a political controversy in Israel. It has been reported that she has said that Israel should release all Palestinian prisoners. “It's not clear to me why we're holding these Palestinian terrorists, or what we call 'terrorists,' " she said. "We need to think about ways to reduce their motivation to kill and be killed. We have it in our power to change the current situation, when a man sits in our jails for a number of years, and around him friends and family become angry. That is how we create terrorists." Yonath said she believed that if Israel released its Palestinian prisoners, they would have less motivation to try to kidnap Israelis. Many people in the including her colleagues at the Weizmann Institute, have said that she might be a great chemist but she should stay away from politics where she doesn’t have a clue as to what is going on. "I am very sorry she [Yonath] got carried away into an argument in which she is not proficient," Elisha Haas, formerly a chemist at the Weizmann Institute who says he knows Yonath well, said. "It's too bad she commented without thinking."`

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holding his first grandson Shumel during his Brit Milah with Former Chief Rabbi of Israel Yisrael Meir Lau and other guests. BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu joined his family on last week for the Brit Milah (circumcision) and naming of his first grandchild. The baby boy was born to Netanyahu's daughter Noa and her husband Daniel Roth. The Brit Milah. of Netanyahu’s grandson took place in the Katamon neighborhood of Jerusalem. he boy was given the name Shmuel. The blessings and naming of the baby were recited by Former Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau and the honor of sandek was given to Prof. Ben-Tzion Netanyahu, the Prime Minister’s father and the baby’s proud great-grandfather. A visibly moved Netanyahu later spoke at the seudah festive meal, offering blessings to his daughter and son-inlaw for a worthy son, to his father for long life and health, to all the guests and

all Jews everywhere for a safe, secure and successful year—and “to myself,” he quipped, “that I have many more grandchildren.” Noa is Netanyahu's child from his f irst marriage, to Micki Weizman. Noa was not raised in a religious lifestyle, but began observing traditional Judaism as an adult. She is married to Daniel Roth, and the two live in Jerusalem. The prime minister also has two sons, Yair and Avner, born to his third wife, Sara. The Brit Milah ceremony is the oldest religious ceremony in Judaism and has been practiced by over 99% of Jews world-wide, since the patriarch Abraham f irst settled in the land of Israel about 4,000 years ago. Though not strictly Orthodox, Netanyahu is known to be respectful of Orthodox tradition, just as other Israeli leaders such as Menachem Begin, who followed Jewish traditions by attending certain religious ceremonies during their time in off ice.

According to the independent Egyptian newspaper Al-Mesryoon Israeli businessman Haim Saban is negotiating with Qatar's emir, the purchase of 50 percent of the Al Jazeera television network. According to the report, the television network is experiencing financial trouble despite its immense popularity in the Arab world. aban backed out of the same negotiations in the past without offering any explanation. His new offer was submitted recently through an Egyptian businessman. Saban, an Egyptian-born Jew, f irst negotiated the purchase of half the Doha -based network in 2004, after visiting the emirate with former U.S. President Bill Clinton. There is speculation as to what will happen to the Al-Jazeerah network if Mr. Saban buys a controlling interest in the anti-Israel news network. Mr. Saban has been quoted as saying, “I'm a one-issue guy and my issue is Israel.” Being pro Israel he has defended Israel in the media and political arenas. Most recently, Mr. Saban last month blasted calls to boycott Israel in protest of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. He was particularly

Human Rights Council to Reopen Goldstone Report Debate The U.N. Human Rights Council will reopen the debate on the Goldstone report in a special session. he debate in Geneva is set for Thursday, the day after the U.N. Security Council in New York is scheduled to discuss the report. Eighteen of 47 Human Rights Council member states approved a motion to hold the special session, the sixth time the council has singled out Israel in a special session in its three-year existence, the Associated Press reported.

The debate is expected to last into Friday and include discussion of the recent violence in Jerusalem. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed his support for reopening the debate on the report in a weekend telephone call to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, the French news agency AFP reported Tuesday, quoting Ban's spokeswoman. The United Nations report accuses Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during last winter's Gaza military offensive,

called Operation Cast Lead by Israel. A vote on the report in the Human Rights Council was postponed until March at the request of the Palestinian representative. Abbas has said he authorized the postponement in order to gain support for a vote to send the report on to the Security Council for action, which could include charges f iled with the International Court of Justice. During a tour of the West Bank city of Jenin, Abbas called on the Arab nations sitting on the Human Rights Council to support a reopening of the debate on the report.

ne day after Yediot Aharonot revealed how a $17,000 donation from an American messianic Jewish (Christian) organization called Jewish Voice ended up in Molla's private bank account, the lawmaker remained silent, refusing to comment on the allegations against him to the Post. However, the source close to Molla said that during his most recent trip to the US

last April, which was meant for campaign fund-raising purposes, Molla siphoned money from donations made by Orthodox institutions, Reform and Conservative congregations and at least one rabbi to buy clothes and presents for his family. "Many organizations and individuals wanted to support his campaign," said the source. "And he just used the money for personal use while he was in America." Yediot Aharonot's investigation demonstrated that while $7,000 of the $17,000 donation from Jewish Voice was for his campaign def icit, an additional $10,000 of the contribution transferred to him last May was meant to have gone to programs for the needy in the Ethiopian immigrant community. "He [Molla] kept saying that it was not

important, that the money only came from Jews for Jesus and not from 'real' Jews, said the source. "He tried to make them sound ugly so that no one would care about what happened to the money, but I do not think their beliefs are important, they had good intentions and they wanted to help Israel ." In his response to Yediot Aharonot, which also accused the MK of faking his university degree, Molla said, "From my perspective, this issue is done with. I am not concerned that it will turn into a criminal issue. The money has been returned and from here on in the story is f inished." However, the source close to Molla said that the funds had actually been transferred to the MK's personal savings account and would only be released early next month.

Jews and Arabs Unite Against New Charedi Town

OCTOBER 16, 2009

Teen Killed in School Bus Shooting

BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF

BY YAAKOV LAPPIN

Arab Israelis and Jewish kibbutz members are both trying to stop the building of the first Charedi city in northern Israel. But the kibbutzniks are wary of being seen as working too closely with Arabs, fearing Jewish public opinion.

A teenager from the village of Kafr Kasim was shot dead by a gunman with a rifle on Thursday while riding home on a school bus.

lans spearheaded by the strictly Orthodox Shas party call for the expansion of the small community of Harish, in the heavily Arab Wadi Ara region, into a Charedi city of 150,000 people. The Housing Minister, Nissim Dahan of Shas, has stoked anti-Arab sentiment in his efforts to market the project, saying in July it was a “national duty to prevent the spread of a population that to say the least does not love the state of Israel”. Riyadh Kabha, the former mayor of Barta’a — which borders the area to be developed — has appeared together with Ilan Sadeh, the local council head, at planning commission meetings. He said the city would take 400 dunams of village land, block the town’s expansion when it is already facing a housing shortage and bring the new Charedi neighbours to within 100 metres of Barta’a houses. “The character of the area will change,” he added. “They will try to impose their lifestyle.” Arik Hatzor, a Kibbutz Maanit resident who is heading the campaign to

The Wadi area, where the new Charedi town is to be built. oppose the plan, voiced similar fears. “We have activities every Shabbat and holiday. The shopping centres are open and this provides income to thousands. We know exactly who will dictate to whom the way of life. We have seen it happen in Jerusalem.” Land would also have to be expropriated from Kibbutz Metzer. Ariel Atias, the mayor of Harish, said that the large town is necessary to address a severe Charedi housing shortage and to prevent Arab demographic primacy in the area. Ten different Chasidic denominations are each to be allocated 3,000 housing units. Mr Sadeh said that he does not want the public to perceive the opposition to the city as a struggle for Arab rights, especially given the Arab demonstrations in the area in 2000, during which 13 Arabs were killed by security forces.

olice suspect the attack was linked to a feud between two gangs of students from a high school in Taiba. The 15-year-old was named as Amjad Shahuna. A second youth sustained moderate wounds in the shooting. Initial reports suggested the deceased had been unrelated to the feud. "We have, in the past few minutes, arrested three suspects - not in direct connection with the shooting, but on suspicion that they are linked to the feud that caused the shooting," Dep.Cmdr. Yaron Kaleds of the Rosh Ha'ayin Police told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday evening.

“The bus driver drove on, taking the vehicle to a local infirmary.” "The shooting was carried out with a long-barrel rifle," he added.

Kaleds noted that levels of violent crime were on the rise across Israel. The school bus came under attack shortly before 4 p.m. as it drove through the Sharon District en route to Kafr Kasim. Several bullets shattered windows as they penetrated the bus. The bus driver drove on, taking the vehicle to a local inf irmary.

“Dozens of police officers, headed by Central District Cmdr. Nissim Mor, converged on the area following the attack.” From there, Shahuna was rushed in critical condition to the Rabin Medical CenterBeilinson Campus in Petah Tikva. Doctors pronounced him dead after attempts to resuscitate him failed. Dozens of police off icers, headed by Central District Cmdr. Nissim Mor, converged on the area following the attack. Police said the shooter and an accomplice had hidden in olive groves on the roadside, lying in wait for the bus. As the vehicle passed, the gunman opened f ire.

Bnei Menashe of India Celebrate Sukkot

OCTOBER 16, 2009

Holocaust Memorial Unveiled in Romania BY JPOST Romania on last week unveiled a monument in memory of some 300,000 Jews and Gypsies killed during the Holocaust in the country, which at times denied that the extermination even happened. omanian President Traian Basescu said it was his country's duty to "recognize the genocide during World War II " and to honor the victims. Basescu was joined by Holocaust survivors, both Jewish and Gypsies, and other leaders during the unveiling of the €5 million (US$7.35 million) marble and concrete tomb-like monument. Romania today has only 6,000 Jews. The country's role in the Holocaust and the deportation of Jews were ignored by the Communists and minimized by subsequent governments after communism collapsed in 1989. "This monument is full of symbolism. Hundreds of thousands were killed who would have contributed to the cultural and economic prosperity of Romania," said Rabbi Menachem HaCohen, Romania's chief rabbi. The Romanian Holocaust Memorial was unveiled on October 8, in Bucharest at the intersection of the Anghel Saligny, Mihai Voda, Ion Brezoianu and Lipscani streets. The monument is a f ive-sculpture

Upon Winning Nobel, Obama Michigan Jews Embraced Stresses Need for Mideast Peace Succot During Hard Times BY HILLARY LEILA KREIGER

BY ZACK COLMAN

President Barack Obama's speech upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize on last week, he singled out the IsraeliPalestinian conflict as an international problem in urgent need of resolution.

In November, Judy Davis, 65, had to leave her senior analyst position in the employee benefits department of American Axle with a small buyout. She found part-time jobs, but her salary was cut in half. Things worsened when the GM dealership that employed her husband laid him off on July 31.

e must all do our part to resolve those conflicts that have caused so much pain and hardship over so many years, and that effort must include an unwavering commitment that finally realizes the rights of all Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security in nations of their own," Obama said, the only reference he made to a specific country or people in his Rose Garden remarks. In making Obama the third sitting US president to win the prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee praised the president's cooperative approach to global issues, a clear rebuke of the Bush administration's aversion to international organizations and treaties. The prize comes after Obama has been in office less than nine months, and as he decides whether to send additional combat troops to Afghanistan for a war effort that will now be measured against the principles of the peace prize. Speaking in the White House Rose Garden a few hours after being awakened with the news at 6 a.m., Obama said he did not view the prize as an affirmation of his accomplishments. "To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize - men and women who have inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace," he said.

“W

“I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.” Yet, he said: "I know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement. It's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes." Obama did highlight other pressing issues, including preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, though he didn't name Iran or North Korea in his comments. "We cannot tolerate a world in which nuclear weapons spread to more nations and in which the terror of a nuclear holocaust endangers more people," he declared. "That's why we've begun to take concrete steps to pursue a world without nuclear weapons, because all nations have the right to pursue peaceful nuclear power, but all nations have the responsibility to demonstrate their peaceful intentions." But Obama, who described himself as "surprised and deeply humbled," said he saw the award as a "call to action" for the countries of the world to confront the many challenges that face it. "I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations," he said, questioning whether he deserved to be among the "transformative figures" who have previously received the award. "This prize reflects the kind of world that those men and women, and all Americans,

ven Michigan's Jewish community, which resides mostly in Oakland County - the state's wealthiest, with a per capita income of $55,207 in 2007, more than $20,000 above the state average - feels its wallet lightening. "I think that we thought money would just keep coming in," the Farmington Hills resident said last week. "But now you say, 'What's really important?'" That question made Succot meaningful for Michigan Jews. With the 10 days of repentance from Rosh Hashana to Yom Kippur completed, Succot offers a different atmosphere. On Succot, Jews celebrate the fall harvest, as well as the Israelites' wandering 40 years in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt, by living in a succa for one week. Now, Succot has added significance for Michigan Jews. "We find ourselves in a tough period and one of the lessons of Succot is that it represents a getting-together," said Rabbi Hendel Weingarten of Chabad House in East Lansing. "When times are tough and when people are having a hard time, we have to remember there is a God."

want to build," he said, calling the award "a means to give momentum to a set of causes." The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" in announcing its decision, adding that the committee "attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons." The citation continued to explain that, "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population." The Pew Research Center assessed that the committee's decision was a strong sign of Obama's international appeal. "Across much of the globe, publics give Obama positive ratings, and his election effectively turned around America's negative image in many countries," the center wrote, citing trends in its recent international polls. Republicans, meanwhile, used the award to criticize Obama as style over substance and argued that while he is liked by many overseas he has been unable to deliver results. Several Jewish organizations released statements congratulating the president on becoming a Nobel laureate, and some progressive Jewish groups seized on the prize and the president's comments to intensify their push for action on the peace process. "After President Obama's campaign advocating hope, change and diplomacy, his election restored America's image in the world, setting the stage for a negotiated two-state peace in the Middle East," Brit Tzedek V'Shalom said in a statement welcoming the news. "Only through President Obama's continued leadership and action will Middle East peace become a reality. We look forward to when this prize is shared with Israeli and Palestinian leadership against the backdrop of two states living side-by-side in peace and security." Not everyone in the Jewish community was pleased by the pick, however. In an e-mail offering perspective on the week's Middle East news, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs mocked the choice. "The Nobel Committee gave the Peace Prize to President Obama because he can visualize a world without nuclear weapons - or because he isn't President Bush. Big deal," the e-mail read. "Since they gave it to Yasser Arafat, it hasn't been worth 'a bucket of warm spit,' to paraphrase John Nance Garner." Garner was vice president of the US between 1933 and 1941 and he called the vice presidency "not worth a bucket of warm piss".

“We find ourselves in a tough period and one of the lessons of Succot is that it represents a getting-together.” Stability hasn't come easily for many Michiganders. Since October 2008, Michigan's spending on the Food Assistance Program has increased by 36 percent - $53 million - to cover 257,179 more recipients. Yad Ezra, a Berkley-based organization that provides kosher groceries to needy Jewish families, now serves 35% more people than in December 2007. It supports 5% of the Metro Detroit Jewish population 1,600 families - and that number has grown recently. "There are people in Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, Huntington Woods who never thought they would be in this position," said Yad Ezra development director Lea Luger. Luger said one mother of three, an attorney who had stopped practicing to have a family, had unsuccessfully looked for a job in the wake of her husband's layoff. "For a lot of people, it's very hard for them to admit they need our help," Luger said. "She can't bring it upon herself to come here. She said to me, 'I gave you money.'"

It was in the 1980’s, Silwa attested in court that Wahhaj came to him for help seeking guidance on how to rid his community of drug gangs without the use of weapons. It was at that time that Silwa says that several members of the mosque told him that men who would normally carry guns on patrol took them to Canada to hide them from the law. The Imam, Siraj Wahhaj, said that he felt defamed, embarrassed and hurt by the public, statements made by Sliwa. But the Jury said that they could f ind no damages that would result in defamation of his character. Mr. Wahhaj, it was noted by Silwa, had been listed as an unnamed co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Silwa said that he once respected the cleric but after it was

The money is going towards projects such as buying new rail cars, operating costs and other items not visible to the public. The rescue package was paid for through a surcharge on taxi rides, a fare hike and a tax on business payrolls. Assemblyman Richard Brodsky (DWestchester) whose committee oversees the MTA remarked that, “No one wants more taxes, so we will have to f ind other ways to f ind the needed money.

Governor Paterson Joins Asseblyman Dov Hikind In Boro Park For Sukkot Celebrations BY MAXINE DOVERE Celebration of the joyous holiday of Sukkot brings together family and friends from across the ethnic and political spectrum. Yet, even a short number of years ago, who would have predicted that they would be dancing in the streets? No, no not the Chasidim, not the yeshiva kids – those are the people one expects to see on Brooklyn’s 13th Avenue. ho, then are they? A wonderful reflection of the ethnic make-up of the City of New York - the state’s first African American governor, David Paterson, Italian American Bill DiBlasio, Democratic candidate for Public Advocate, and Chinese American Democratic candidate for City Comptroller John Liu, who joined Assemblyman Dov Hikind on the streets of Boro Park to celebrate the Jewish harvest holiday. And there was dancin’ in the streets! Then, more and More! Hundred of satin robed, stroimel wearing members of many Chasidic communities circled the Governor, the candidates, and the Assemblyman in a flurry of fun and festivity. One has to imagine the experience must have been quite unique for the visitors. Just prior to connecting with the many gathered on the street, the governor and the candidates held a brief meeting in the off ices of Assemblyman Hikind. The space was packed with almost 100 supporters and community activists; the stairs were packed, the hallways impassable, and the off ices were, overwhelmed with well wishers. Rabbinical leaders of many denominations and community leaders were among those gathered to greet the dignitaries. After meeting privately with Assemblyman Hikind the two were joined by Bill DiBlasio and, later, John Lui. All three greeted the more than 100 community members who received them most enthusiastically. The Governor spoke briefly, about shared experiences and the challenge of the economic “desert” from which all must emerge. Hikind recognized the long term support the Governor had extended to the community and strongly praised him for his friendship and monetary contributions in the form of funding for many projects.

Democratic Comptroller candidate John Lui, Democratic Public Advocate candidate Bill DiBlasio, New York Governor David Paterson and Assemblyman Dov Hikind look extremely pleased.

WAR ON TERROR Millions in New Homeland Security Funding in NYC BY JOSH VLASTO U.S. Representative Joseph Crowley and U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer held a press conference to rally support for additional Homeland Security funding to protect the New York City subway system. n the months following the September 11th attacks, Congressman Crowley, along with Senator Schumer and Congressman Serrano, spearheaded the creation of the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). They undertook the initiative to ensure urban areas like New York City receive adequate federal funding to protect critical infrastructure, such as our subway system, against the threat of a terrorist attack. Congressman Crowley lead this effort because, at the time, there were no Federal domestic security grant programs that distributed funding solely on the basis of threat and risk – not politics or partisanship. In Fiscal Year 2009, New York City received over $145 million in UASI grants, totaling over $952 million since the program’s inception. Next week, Congress will debate leg-

The idea that someone could be singled out for a crime of violence due to his or her actual or perceived race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability is simply repugnant.

Iranian Threat Iran Threatens Israel: We’ll Blast Your Heart Out

There Are Only Two Choices Left on Iran

BY HILLEL FENDEL BY A. COHEN

A high-ranking Iranian government official says Iran will respond to either an American or Israeli attack by "blowing up the heart of the State of Israel." The spokesman is a representative of Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's highest spiritual leader, in the country's most powerful military force, the Revolutionary Guard. ven if one Zionist or American rocket hits our land," said Mojtaba Zolnour, "Iranian rockets will explode in the heart of Israel even before the dust settles." He sounded the threat on at morning prayers lastFriday. Just a week ago, Iran conducted an exercise in which it fired multiple long-range Shihab-3 ballistic missiles simultaneously. The rockets are able to reach any point in the Middle East, as well as some in Europe. Western and Iranian negotiators are scheduled to begin their next round of talks on Iran's uranium enrichment program later this month. The U.S. House of Representatives voted to have President Barack Obama report by January 31 on his diplomatic efforts to have Iran stop its drive to acquire nuclear weapons.

Obama Health Care Package Clears Senate BY AFP President Barack Obama’s ambitious drive to remake US health care cleared a major hurdle, as the Senate Finance Committee approved sweeping legislation to enact his top domestic priority. ith support from one solitary Republican, Obama’s Democratic allies pushed through a 10-year, 829-billion-dollar plan to cut costs and insure some of the 46 million people in the United States who currently lack coverage. “The bill we passed today puts patients and doctors — not insurance companies — in the driver’s seat,” Democratic Senator Max Baucus, the committee’s chairman, said in a statement after the 14-9 vote. The panel’s top Republican, Senator Charles Grassley, charged earlier that the Baucus bill amounted to “sliding rapidly down the slippery slope to more and more government control of health care,” a frequent Republican criticism. Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine provided the sole Republican vote, and Democrats stuck together to hand Obama a signif icant yet symbolic victory that took him one step closer to signing a major overhaul in 2009. “When history calls, history calls,” said Snowe, who warned that she should not be taken for granted as the process churns forward: “My vote today is my vote today, it doesn’t forecast what it will be tomorrow.” Ultimately, the Senate and House must pass the same bill — after agreeing on a compromise version if, as

seems likely, they f irst approve different measures. The next step is for top senators, led by Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid, to huddle with senior White House off icials and merge the Baucus bill with health care legislation that has cleared the Senate’s health committee. “We remain committed to passing legislation that lowers costs, creates competition, improves quality of care and preserves choice,” said Reid, who underlined that he wanted “a bill that can garner 60 votes in the Senate.” Democrats have, on paper, the votes needed to reach the 60-vote threshold, which is needed to ensure the ability to overrun parliamentary tactics that can indef initely delay a f inal vote. But such unity is far from guaranteed, amid intra-party feuds over how to pay for the massive overhaul and whether to include a governmentbacked insurance plan popularly known as a “public option.” Key senators and Democratic House leaders have said they want the f inal legislation to include a public option, while swing-vote lawmakers have balked amid growing public unease about government spending. Obama has wagered huge political capital on the f ight to pass health care reform, amid warnings of unsustainably high future costs and worries over the 46 million people in the United States who have no insurance. Republicans have charged that the president’s approach will do nothing to curb health care costs and will cost billions in taxpayer dollars at a time when they are concerned about the ballooning US budget def icit.

US Mideast Envoy Meets Netanyahu in Peace Task BY MARIUS SCHATTNER US Middle East envoy George Mitchell met Israel's prime minister again on Sunday after dashing to Egypt as part of an uphill task to bring Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table. he former US senator met for an hour in Jerusalem with Benjamin Netanyahu, officials said, after separate meetings on Friday with the hawkish premier and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas. Netanyahu's off ice said at the end of the meeting, which was also joined by Defence Minister Ehud Barak, that two senior aides to the premier would travel this week to Washington for more talks. Mitchell, who did not speak after the meeting, had earlier told reporters in Cairo that "everyone who truly believes in peace has to take responsibility to take actions to achieve that goal." Mitchell held talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman late on Saturday and with Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit on Sunday before returning to Jerusalem for talks with Netanyahu as part of his latest regional trip. The US envoy arrived in the region on Wednesday and is pushing to get Israelis and Palestinians to agree to restart peace negotiations suspended in December after the start of the Gaza war. He has said Washington was pushing for an "early relaunch" of negotiations and that the US administration was still deeply and fully committed to the vision of a "viable, independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) shaking hands with US Middle East envoy George Mitchell upon his arrival for a meeting in Jerusalem. But hopes for a breakthrough were dim, with Israel dismissing Washington's vision of a regional peace as unrealistic, and no compromise in sight on the thorny issue of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinians have backed US calls that Israel freeze all settlement activity before peace talks are resumed, but Netanyahu has refused to do so. Abbas said late Sunday that he had no intention of backing down. "Yesterday we told the US envoy George Mitchell that we are determined to achieve peace," Abbas said in a televised address.

Chase Tower Said to Be Off the Market

Unemployment’s Continued Climb and the Effect on Commercial Real Estate

BY PAUL BUBNY

BY ROBERT KNAKAL

JPMorgan Chase has taken its iconic One Chase Manhattan Plaza off the block after failing to receive sufficient bids, Bloomberg reported late Wednesday afternoon, citing unnamed sources. The 60-story tower in Lower Manhattan was one of 23 office properties JPMorgan Chase began marketing this summer; the others in the eightstate, 7.1-million-square-foot portfolio are still for sale, according to Bloomberg. Calls to JPMorgan for comment were not returned by deadline.

If you are a frequent reader of StreetWise, you know that I am always following trends in unemployment, and for good reason. There is no other metric that more profoundly affects the fundamentals of our real estate markets.

sticking point, according to the Bloomberg report, may have been the bank’s unwillingness to finance the deal. Most of the larger transactions that have closed this year either have entailed some degree of seller financing or, as in the sale-leaseback of HSBC’s 452 Fifth Ave. tower earlier this week, were all-cash deals. Moreover, establishing a price remains a challenge in a market with few data points. In August, Dan Fasulo, managing director at Real Capital Analytics, told GlobeSt.com that a One Chase Plaza deal would be one of the transactions that would help establish a market, since it represents a stabilized asset as opposed to a distressed property. "It feeds on itself," Fasulo said in August. "Once the first handful of transactions takes place, sellers say, 'okay, that’s the market, you can have my building for x amount.' The buyers feel comfortable that

f someone has lost a job or believes they may be losing a job, they will typically not move into a larger rental apartment or decide to move from a rental unit into a newly purchased condo or single family residence. If employers are reducing the size of their staff, they no longer need the same amount of office space. These people watch their spending and tend to travel less. The effects on retail sales and hotel performance are obvious. The news on the unemployment front of late has not been positive. The Bureau of Labor Statistics currently pegs the unemployment rate at 9.8% meaning that approximately 8 million jobs have been lost during this downturn. This rate has more than doubled from 4.8% just 19 months ago. The cumulative job losses over the past 9 months have been far greater than during any other 9 month period since World War II, including the military demobilization after the war. The job losses now exceed the net jobs gained over the previous nine years, making this the only recession to wipe out all job growth from the previous expansion since the Great

Last month, one of the 23-property portfolio did find a buyer. The former Washington Mutual headquarters in Seattle, which JPMorgan inherited after it bought the beleaguered bank in September 2008, went for $115 million to Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. It went for $136 per square foot, a price that reflected the fact that the 860,000-square-foot office tower is nearly empty.

Depression. Private sector payrolls today are lower than they were at the end of 1999.

“If employers are reducing the size of their staff, they no longer need the same amount of office space.” The stress in the job market appears to be understated by the BLS as the calculation of unemployment was modif ied during the Clinton administration to make the numbers appear more benign. Nearly 2 million people are unemployed but have given up the search for work. If they have not been actively looking for a job within the 4 weeks preceeding the latest survey, they are no longer counted as unemployed. Part time workers who would prefer to be employed on a full-time basis are also no longer counted among the unemployed. The number of these “underemployed” workers has more than doubled in this recession to over 9 million, representing about 6% of the workforce. If we add those who have given up the search for a job and the underemployed to the government’s estimate of 9.8%, the unemployment rate jumps to over 17%. And even this does not tell

At Least 139 of The Forbes 400 are Jewish Major Cyber Operation Targets Fraud T Takedown BY JACOB BERKMAN

I've spent the past couple of days buried in Google, going through Forbes' recently released list of the country's 400 richest citizens and trying to figure out who is Jewish.

his list is by no means an exact science. But those who we considered Jewish were those who were of Jewish descent or those who openly identified as Jews either personally or in thier giving. There are a number of folks on this list below that we were unsure about, and they are denoted with asterisks. Some quick stats: We are reasonably certain that 139 of the richest 400 Americans are Jewish, including 20 of the richest 50. Those top 20 control some $211.8 billion in personal wealth. Those of particular interest: Sheldon Adelson continued his drop on this list. After being ranked the third wealthiest American in 2007, and publicly stating that he wanted to overtake Warren Buffet, who was then ranked second on the Forbes 400, Adelson watched his personal wealth drop by $13 bil-

lion in 2007, then another $4 billion for this ranking. The Google guys, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, both moved up a couple of slots on the Forbes list, from 13 and 14 respectively to a tie for 11 this year. But both saw their wealth drop a bit. Brin was worth $15.9 billion last year and is now worth $15.3. Page droppd from $15.8 billion to $15.3. The richest American Jew, Larry Ellison, saw his wealth and his spot on this liest stay level, while our second wealthiest member, Michael Bloomberg, managed to lose $2.5 billion but maintian his spot at number 8 on this list. According to Forbes, some of the names that the Jewish philanthropy world knows best had rough years. Lynn Schusterman's Samson Resources lost $1 billion over the past year, according to Forbes, but Schusterman is still worth $1.5 billion and 236 on the Forbes list. Edgar Bronfman is ranked 123 on the Forbes list with assets of $2.5 billion, while his brother, Charles Bronfman is not on the list. Last year, the 400th ranked American had $1.3 billion in assets.

Nearly 100 people were charged today in the U.S. and Egypt as part of Operation Phish Phry, one the largest cyber fraud phishing cases to date. It’s the latest action in what Director Robert Mueller described in a major address today as a “cyber arms race,” where law enforcement and criminals compete to stay one step ahead of each other on the ever-expanding virtual frontier. yber thieves “phish” for personal infor mation such as usernames, passwords, and f inancial account details by tricking users into thinking their sensitive information is being given to trusted websites when, in fact, the sites are traps. The defendants in Operation Phish Phry targeted U.S. banks and victimized hundreds and possibly thousands of account holders by stealing their financial information and using it to transfer about $1.5 million to bogus accounts they controlled. More than 50 individuals in California, Nevada, and North Carolina, and nearly 50 Egyptian citizens have been charged with crimes including computer fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, money laundering, and aggravated identify theft. During the two-year investigation led by our Los Angeles office, we worked closely with the Secret Service, the Electronics Crimes Task Force in Los Angeles, state and local law enforcement, and our Egyptian counterparts—the first joint cyber investigation between Egypt and the United States. Such a cooperative effort illustrates “the power of our global partnerships,” Mueller said during his speech in San Francisco to address the criminal cyber threat and what we’re doing to combat it. While Phish Phry defendants were being rounded up, Mueller told his audience, “The FBI is both a law enforcement

Can Isaac Mizrahi Save Liz Claiborne? Well known fashion mogul, Isaac Mizrahi, is working to revamp the Liz Claiborne label by distributing the higher priced label on the QVC Home Shopping Network. Although efforts taken by Mr. Mizrahi, in the past have not been successful, the company is hoping that his name will bring a much-needed boost to the aging brand. his is only one of the moves by the beleaguered New York based apparel company to restore investor confidence. One recent moved that resulted in a 31 percent surge in Liz Claiborne stocks was the announcement that they were removing their product line from Macy’s Department Stores and that they will be sold exclusively by JC Penny.

Bill Mccomb the CEO of Liz Claiborne said, ”This (the consolidation) is about growth.” “These deals will guarantee that the brand will expand, grow and be more visible then it has been in the past f ive years.”

report last week in The Independent claiming that China, Russia and Gulf States are among nations prepared to ditch the dollar for oil trades has heightened the uncertainty surrounding the US currency's future. The dollar slumped against rivals last week in the wake of the British daily's controversial report. "The US dollar is being hurt by the continued talk of a shift away from a dollar-centric world," said Kit Juckes, an analyst at currency traders ECU Group. "Three conclusions stand out very clearly. Firstly, the shift in economic power away from the G7 economies is continuing. "Secondly, there is a growing acceptance amongst those winners that one consequence of this power shift will be to strengthen their currencies. "And f inally, as long as the US economy is not strong enough for any rise in interest rates to be conceivable for a long time, the dollar's underlying downtrend will remain in place," added Juckes. The Independent, under the frontpage headline "The Demise of the Dollar", reported last Tuesday that Gulf states, together with China, Russia, Japan and France, were considering replacing the dollar as the currency for

“...all indications are that Liz Claiborne will be showing a profit within the next year.”

Dollar Facing Power-Shift The dollar's position as the world's leading reserve currency faces increased pressure as the financial crisis allows emerging economies greater influence on the world stage, analysts said.

The company hopes that Isaac Mizrahi’s name will bring in much needed sales. Investors took heart in the announcement and all indications are that Liz Claiborne will be showing a prof it within the next year. However, sales form its namesake label will fall to nearly half as it switches from a wholesale business to a licensing model. Other means of cutting costs to boost prof its will include cutting staff and overhead. Liz Claiborne, also owns Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand Jeans and Kate Spade brands.

oil deals. "In the most profound f inancial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning -- along with China, Russia, Japan and France -- to end dollar dealings for oil," wrote The Independent's Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk. They would switch "to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unif ied currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar," added Fisk, citing Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources. The report was denied by a host of countries, including Kuwait, Qatar and Russia, while France dismissed it as "pure speculation." Even so, the United Nations itself last week called for a new global reserve currency to end dollar supremacy, which had allowed the United States the "privilege" of building up a huge trade def icit. UN undersecretary-general for economic and social affairs, Sha Zukang, said "important progress in managing imbalances can be made by reducing the (dollar) reserve currency country's 'privilege' to run external def icits in order to provide international liquidity." Zukang was speaking at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, whose President Robert Zoellick recently warned that the United States should not "take for granted" the dollar's role as preeminent global reserve currency.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE EDITORIAL

Morality and Ethics As we start the new cycle of reading the Torah with this week’s recitation of Parshat Bereshit, immediately following the High Holidays, it is also a time of retrospection. he Torah is not just a history book, a volume of nice stories but a set of rules to live by. Even before the Jewish nation was formed, through Abraham, there are laws laid down, by Gd, on how we should act.

“They have affected the full spectrum of the Jewish community from the poorest to the richest, the secular to religious, institutional to individual.” This year there was a letter circulated asking congregational rabbis to include in the sermons the issue of Jewish morals and ethics. In the past year there have been a number of scandals that have rocked the Jewish world. They have affected the full spectrum of the Jewish community from the poorest to the richest, the secular to religious, institutional to individual. Bernard Madoff, made headlines with his Ponzi scheme in which he stole from the rich, the poor, and even from his friends. While it was one of the biggest of the Jewish scandals affecting the most people, we cannot forget the Rubashkin f iasco in which the main supplier of Kosher meat products was accused of numerous crimes ranging from hiring undocumented workers to child labor. The Sephardic community was also not immune to scandal, we all remember the pictures of Rabbis being hauled off to court after being caught in a money laundering scheme. There are many topics in this week’s Parshat Bereshit; creation,

original sin, the listing of the generations after Adam and the Nif ilim, (the fallen angels) and the rabbis have been commenting on them throughout the ages. The last topic in the Parsha talks about the wicked generation as the lead into the story of the flood. “And G-d saw the wickedness of man on earth that his thoughts were constantly of evil.” The sins of mankind were not religious in nature. G-d had not yet given any religious commandments, to Adam and Chava, other then not to eat from the forbidden fruit and to be fruit full and multiply. So the sins, of the generation of the flood, were other then religious. The rabbis teach us that there are two kinds of mitzvoth those between man and G-d and those between man and his fellow man. When we ask Gd for forgiveness we are told that G-d forgives only those transgressions committed against Him. Any transgressions against a fellow man can only be forgiven by those a person has wronged.

“ that G-d considered the generation that had no regard for ethics so wicked they had to be wiped out.” Those laws are for the most part moral and ethical in character. They are so important that G-d considered the generation that had no regard for ethics so wicked they had to be wiped out. As we go into the New Year after completing the High Holidays, we should all try to aim for the high ground and stay away from any questionable acts that might cause a scandal. Scandals in the world theater affect the Jewish nation where ever they are, causing personal shame to the individual as well as the community at large.

Do you have something on your mind that you would like to share with our readers? Is there something you have read in our newspaper that you would like to comment on? The Jewish Voice welcomes your opinions, suggestions and insight. Please submit your letters to info@jewishvoiceny.com We look forward to hearing from you.

To The Editor, I want to commend the Jewish Voice on the article you wrote about the Breslover Pilgramage to Uman over the Rosh HaSahnah Holiday. I found the article well very interesting and relevant to the time. The pictures were beautiful and gave me a sense of what it was really like to be at the holy site. I have read about Uman in other newspapers but never realized that the event was open to Jews of all types, including Sephardim. Thank you for this spiritual article and looking forward to many more about the Jewish world at large. SB

Editors note: Thank you for your response. The Jewish Voice is happy to announce that we will be adding a new column in the near future highlighting different Jewish communities around the world. The articles will cover the history and different customs of Jews in communities in the Sephardic, Ashkenazic and Chasidc realms. We will cover places where there was a long history of Jewish life but where the community has ceased to exist as well as where there is a vibrant active community.

Dear Editor, I found your story Chosen People Choosing Left, (Oct. 10, cover) very insightful. For many years I have been following my parent’s advice to “Vote Democratic.” But recently I have broken with tradition and voted Republican. It seems that the Jewish people have been voting for FDR for the past 70 years. The old time Jews for some reason saw FDR as a man that could do no wrong and that concept was

inherited by the whole Democratic Party. The article by Richard Baehr shows how sad it is that a person votes blindly for one party without looking at the issues. In these days before the elections I hope more readers take note from the artcle and vote with their head and not with their hearts. Sincerely, Michael Cohen

Dear Editor, I read with great trepidation the articles of how the Israeli government traded 20 female terrorists for ‘Proof of Life’ of captured Israeli soldier from Hamas. Gilad Schalit has been a prisoner for three years and has been held illegally without visits by the International Red Cross or any humanitarian consideration. Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are taking every advantage of Israeli/Jewish morals in their fight to destroy the Jewish State. They demand the release of thousands of

murderers and terror leaders for the release of a dingle soldier. In Israel there has been a announcement by soldiers on active duty asking the government not to negotiate extreme terms, on their behalf if they are captured. We all feel for the Schalit family but we should also stand firm against murderous terrorists that will use illegal kidnapping as a weapon. Thanks, Alice Menashe

Should We Drink Bibi’s Kool-Aid? BY ROB MUCHNICK Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu stood in the UN a few days ago and gained the accolades of the “good people” of the world with his speech. Bibi was called “Israel’s Churchill” for his erudite denunciation of the Iranian Ahmadinejad and all those who “gave him a hearing”. He has been crowned as the new “great statesman” and the “true conscience” of the world. But does he really deserve these accolades? Is he really standing up for the Jewish People? Is he “our Churchill?”

bout the Iranian madman and his worldwide supporters, Netanyahu said, “To those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame? Have you no decency? A mere six decades after the Holocaust, you give legitimacy to a man who denies that the murder of six million Jews took place and pledges to wipe out the Jewish state. What a disgrace!” Bibi grabbed the moral high ground with this verbal attack, every word of which is true. Very well said, Mr. Netanyahu. But... As many besides me have no doubt noticed, Bibi often says things that sound wonderful to the right-wing, proud Jewish ear but he never acts according to these words, and in most cases he leaves huge loopholes in which he can turn left through. Let’s look more closely at his UN speech. Bibi mentioned that the Jewish People are 3,500 years old and are entitled to a state in their ancestral homeland. By using this phraseology, he is trying to evoke in our minds that he is saying that the Land of Israel was given to us by G-d, which of course it was. He wants the right-wingers (most Israeli Jews) to think he is one of them. Even one Rabbi I know well “knew” that Bibi said that Israel belonged to us because it

said so in the Tanach – when of course Phased Plan was authored by Mahmoud Bibi said no such thing. Later in his Abbas. Of course, if anyone thinks that speech, though, Netanyahu spoke about Abbas has changed, at the Fatah conferwanting “peace, as all Israelis do”. Of ence he reiterated that he would never course all Israelis want peace - who recognize Israel as a Jewish State. Since doesn’t want peace? However, what Bibi his oft-stated goal is to flood Israel with is really saying is that he wants to con- 5 million Arabs presently in refugee tinue the obviously failed “peace camps – kept there as pawns by their process” even though there is a direct leaders, of course he would recognize correlation between the amount of land Israel if it had a Muslim majority. If that’s not bad enough, Abbas clearthat Israel cedes to her enemies and the number of Jews who are murdered in ter- ly has some kind of personality disorder. ror attacks. So by not actually saying that On the one hand, he denies the Holocaust. However, G-d gave us the Land on the other hand, his of Israel - and by not mentor (and his parteven mentioning G-d ner Arafat’s mentor) one time in his speech “Bibi stood in front of was the Grand Mufti - he can still give away our precious the world and held up of Jerusalem Haj Al Husseini who homeland while the construction plans Amin personally raised two appearing to be a divisions of Muslim right-winger. of Auschwitz which for SS units Now let’s look at were actually signed by soldiers and is said – by a Bibi at his most easiHeinrich Himmler.” high-ranking Nazi - to ly-proven hypocritihave put the idea into cal. He rightly stated Hitler’s head to murhis case against the der all Jews instead of Holocaust-denier Ahmadinejad, but why is he trying so just evicting them. Bibi calls for the world to stand hard to create a “palestinian” state headed by the equally Holocaust-denying against Ahmadinejad. Good. But Bibi Mahmoud Abbas? Abbas’ own college shook the hand of the Jew-murderer thesis denied the Holocaust! Why does Arafat. And Bibi now shakes the hand of Bibi bemoan the Iranians threatening to the Jew-murderer Abbas. One of the few annihilate the Jewish State while in Israel who condemns Bibi for trying to strengthening Abbas, who has never give our Holy Land to these genocidal backed away from his calls to annihilate anti-Semitic maniacs is Moshe Feiglin – the Jewish State?

This cost the Likud over 10 seats what’s left of Israel. By the way, this in the Knesset, but Bibi publicly said he

was happy to keep Moshe out. In Bibi’s eyes, Feiglin’s “crime” is to actually be loyal to Eretz Yisrael, Am Yisrael and to the G-d of Israel instead of just paying lip-service to them. People love how Churchill stood up to the Nazis, but why do we conveniently forget that he barred Jews from reaching the shores of British-controlled Eretz Yisrael to escape Hitler - thereby condemning hundreds of thousands if not millions of Jews to their fates in the ovens of the German crematoria? I am not in any way saying that Bibi has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Jews on his hands as Churchill does, but Bibi is setting up - or letting be set up - the path to the next Holocaust. What a disgrace! Bibi stood in front of the world and held up the construction plans of Auschwitz which were actually signed by Heinrich Himmler. But Bibi Netanyahu himself is pushing Israel along the path of creating a state in our biblical heartland for the self-professed ideological descendants of Himmler, Hitler and all the Nazis. We cannot afford to be fooled by Benjamin Netanyahu’s rhetoric, no matter how easy and appealing it is to be transf ixed by it. It is nothing but a canteen f illed with poison kool-aid for a thirsty soul in the desert. We must f ind the canteen f illed with water. We must choose life. We must choose the proud, Jewish path. We must work to ensure Israel has Authentic Jewish Leadership from a man like Moshe Feiglin. We must choose to stand on our own, to accept Gd’s plan for us, and then we can start to perfect the world in the Kingdom of the Almighty. Rob Muchnick is the U.S. Director of Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership). The largest faction inside Israel’s Likud party, Manhigut Yehudit and its president, Moshe Feiglin, strive to restore Jewish values, pride and integrity to the State of Israel.

The Word Warriors BY ALIZA DAVIDOVIT In Genesis we learn that God created the world through the power of words. “And God SAID let there be light, and there was light.” And just a few verses later we read how the snake also used words to manipulate Eve to eat the forbidden fruit and drive mankind from Eden. And so, from the very beginning, we see that words have the power to create and to destroy. oday we live in a world where words are more dangerous than ever. With the advent of twitter, Facebook, texting, emails, and others, the ability to “spread the word,” for good or bad, is greatly facilitated. For this reason, I have become a word “worrier”, growing ever more concerned about the war of words and falsehoods accelerating with dangerous velocity against Jews and Israel. The whole world, best represented by the UN, has witnessed the Jewish state being increasingly demonized and have either remained silent or joined the mendacious chorus. But silence too helps grout a house of lies. For instance, back in December, Israel warned Palestinians to evacuate targeted areas prior to launching Operation Cast Lead to avoid

civilian casualties. Such efforts, are highly untypical of any army, nevertheless they were met with a typical response: “Disproportionate Use of Force”–the UN’s rubber stamp reply vis-à-vis Israel, albeit inked in Israeli blood. These lying words stuck and grew into investigations and into the notorious Goldstone Report. Resolutions ensued, boycotts, too, to the extent that patrons refuse to shop at stores that carry Israeli products. And then there are the Israeli athletes, scientists and f ilmmakers who were disenfranchised by their confreres in their respective f ields, such as the recent Toronto International Film Festival where the likes of Danny Glover and Jane Fonda protested the inclusion of Tel Aviv f ilmmakers. And let’s not forget the recent expulsion by Spain of Israeli scientists from a solar energy competition. Slowly but surely the snake’s tongue is coiling around the neck of my people. The Holocaust is denied by an evil madman who crushed his own people for protesting against his dubious re-election, but the madman’s words have an audience--world leaders listen; students listen, a university invites him for a speaking engagement; CNN offers him a platform, and the Hotel-InterContinental

Barclay comfortably accommodates his stay in New York, but Trader Joe’s is boycotted for hosting kosher Israeli pickles on its shelves. Continually the tiny Jewish homeland, 16 times smaller than the state of California and 76 times smaller than Iran, is threatened to be wiped off the map, but the world just masturbates over fantastical sanctions as enriched uranium is piling up as quickly as the sands of time. Today Israel has no friends, nor strategic allies. Only 32 U.S. senators signed a petition against the Goldstone Report. What happened to the other 68? In a recent interview Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Gabriela Shalev, told me that “Israel is the only country in the world whose survival is threatened on a daily basis.” This threat even reaches out to the world-wide Internet where word mongers spread their hate. In addition to outright hate sites, even the likes of Facebook are accused of being complicit in the building of lies and the quashing of truthful words as they are suspected of continually deleting or deactivating accounts and prof iles that support Israel. And so blatant antisemites, many behind purportedly respected news desks,

don’t let truth and facts get in the way of a good hate fest. Continually, as Israeli archeologists f ind proof of the Jewish biblical connection to the Promised Land, Jews are still maligned and accused of taking a country in 1948 from a people who didn’t even exist prior to 1967, the very same “peaceful”people who have made the word jihad a household term. The hateful words continue even at the Human Right’s Commission where Jewish settlements make it to the top of the list as a human rights atrocity. Wake up my fellow Jews. With their words, our enemies are creating a new world--one that doesn’t include an Israel. Remember, Hitler also began his war against the Jews with hateful words,-until the words grew legs and the storm troopers came marching in. Only when Jews were ash did they unite in common purpose. We must unite now as a people and bite back at every word and every lie with proof and passion or whatever means and influence is available to us to stop the spreading of lies and instigation of hate. Wishing won’t make them go away. Don’t take MY word for it. Take the word of 6 million dead Jews who also wished their enemies would go away.

Jewish, Christian and leaders of several ethnic communities came together to “break bread” and toast L’Chiam in honor of the joyous festival at the “Sukkah of Peace.” Organized and hosted by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York,

the Sukkah is sponsored by the Lubavitch Youth Organization. The Festival of Sukkot commemorates the forty-year period Jews spent wandering in the desert and living in temporary shelters after the Exodus from Egypt. A Sukkah is a booth reminiscent of those dwellings, in which modern Jews eat their meals in observance of the week-long harvest festival.

Jeanette Friedman: Adversary of Evil, Injustice and Inaction BY RENEE’ BEYDA In addition to her purple suede moccasins decorated with studded peace signs, Jeanette Friedman should be wearing a Pledge of Allegiance tee shirt proclaiming the right of liberty and justice for all.

eanette, champion of human rights, is a woman whose outstanding accomplishments as a writer, editor, publisher, Jewish activist, public speaker, bar and club reviewer, mother of four and wife, make it seem as though she has lived at least twice. Jeanette’s life was eventful from the womb, for she shared it with her brother; they were the f irst set of twins born to Holocaust survivors in Williamsburg after the war. Her parents spoke little about their experiences, but Jeanette will never forget the day she turned 15. On that day her mother walked into the dinette and announced to her and her brother that their father had been married before the war and had lost his f irst wife and child in Auschwitz. Being a child of Holocaust survivors did not affect Jeanette’s life very significantly until an incident during the Brooklyn College race riots of 1969. Black students had taken over the Student Center on campus and set off a f irebomb in the ladies bathroom.

Jeanette stopped a black student and asked why the bomb was set off. The student replied emphatically, “’It’s ‘cause your daddy enslaved my daddy.” Jeanette quickly replied, “But you’re wrong! My father was a slave too! He worked in a quarry! ” The student was dumbfounded and Jeanette was astonished that someone didn’t know what happened during WWII. Her realization that there was virtually no education about the events of the Holocaust in any of the schools –Jewish or public has affected her life since. She herself had spent 12 years in the all girls’ Yeshivah Beis Yaakov in the yeshiva system in Brooklyn and, she remarks, “No one said a word. “ Like her mother, an escapee from the Warsaw Ghetto as a hostage on the Kasztner train out of Budapest, Hungary, Jeanette is committed to getting the message out. When her mother f irst arrived in “safe” Hungary in 1943, she tried to tell people what was happening in Poland, but people would not listen. Jeanette grabs the sides of the table, shakes her straight, short bronze-colored hair to the side in a furious manner and stares directly at me through her dark rimmed glasses and says, “There is a difference between not believing and not wanting to believe. And this holds true to this very day!” She continues,

“When you see an injustice, don’t fold your arms and say, ‘It’s not my problem.’ Everything is your problem! You have to stand up against injustice, even if it knocks the crap out of you!”” Jeanette was a victim of an abusive marriage and realized at the young age of 18 that only she could free herself. She left with her baby daughter, found an apartment and a job, and enrolled in Brooklyn College. The Jewish law that binds a woman to her husband until he grants her a release made Jeanette an agunah – a chained woman for seven years. The injustice of this Jewish law, an injustice that affects many, is something she has helped change. “But there is far more to be done. It is at the top of my list.” Holocaust scholar Dr. Michael Berenbaum says this of Jeanette, “She began her activism in Brooklyn College as she pushed for the establishment of a Judaic Studies department. She was a spokesperson for abused women, divorcing women who were still considered chained to their husbands through Jewish law, and has been a strong advocate for Holocaust education and awareness. Jeanette is indefatigable and has got the combination of energy and righteous anger, which sometimes translates into impatience. But impatience is not necessarily a bad thing. Many of us are too patient with evil. Jeanette is not afraid to ruffle feathers, which would be said by both her admirers and her detractors. I am among her admirers.” “The day is short, the task is great.” Is an ancient Jewish saying by Rabbi Tarfon that Jeanette seems to take very seriously. I stand in absolute awe as she pulls out a 6” high binder, which overflows with hundreds of articles that she has written – articles slamming abuse, articles about genocide, about the Holocaust, articles about Jewish lifestyles and holidays, as well as of general news. Many are written under an assortment of pen names for publications that are reluctant to have several items written by the same author. And then there is an amazing collection of prof iles that she has written on personalities such as Robin Williams, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elie Wiesel, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen, Sumner Redstone, Carl Sagan, Dennis Ross, Ariel Sharon and Steven Spielberg. Her computer holds more of her accomplishments. Her resume spills over four pages telling role in ghost writing and editing a multitude of books and articles, of her contributions to publications and of her positions on the boards of many Holocaust organizations. In 1979 Jeanette was one of the founders of the f irst Second Generation (“2 G’s”) group in New Jersey. This group joins together the children of Holocaust survivors to remember the past and celebrate the triumph of hope over adversity. In 1999, as the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado and the war in the Balkans erupted, Jeanette was approached to join the board of yet another Holocaust organization. Jeanette’s reply? “Why should we sit here flapping our lips when ethnic cleansing and celebrations of Hitler’s birthday are going on? We’ve

Jeanette Friedman is a writer, editor, publisher and Jewish activist. Her and her twin brother were the first set of twins born to Holocaust survivors. talked for 20 years. Look at your TV screen, it’s time to do, not talk!” Within weeks, her friend, Mark Sarna, an Englewood, NJ businessman, Jewish activist and a “2 G” as well, arranged a trip for 19 people, to visit refugee camps in Macedonia and offer some concrete assistance. Mark recounts, “Jeanette played an integral and indispensible role in helping to arrange the trip. Whatever Jeanette does, she does from the heart and whatever she says may be rough, but is genuinely brilliant. Jeanette has stood up for many great causes.“ Addressing injustice and educating the young to recognize and f ight racism is the aim of her new book, Why Should I Care? coauthored with David Gold, once a student activist with Jeanette at Brooklyn College. Although written mainly for high school students, the pages are f illed with history lessons and meaningful quotes that are thought provoking for someone at any level. Jeanette says, “This book is not really about the Holocaust. It’s about the way people treat each other. It’s about being responsible and accountable and doing the right thing, even when it’s hazardous to your health.” Reading this book heightens sensitivity and respect. It asks people to think critically and to make the right decision when confronted with an immoral situation. It also shows how a person can use his or her power as a citizen to affect global positive change. In September 2009, the President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinajad visited the U.N. and repeated his denial of the Holocaust. During this same week, a member of the planning committee for the U.N. Holocaust Commemoration approached Jeanette and asked that copies of Why Should I Care? be delivered to the U.N. and they were. As Jeanette walks me to the door I look down and smile. I envision those purple studded peace sign moccasins stamping out evil for at least another four decades. I think to myself, “That may be just what it takes to f ix this world!”

NEWS IN REVIEW ISRAEL RECORD 900 BIRTHS IN ONE MONTH IN BNEI BRAK aayanei Hayeshua hospital in Bnei Brak has released statistics according to which a record number of births took place in the hospital in September. More than 900 babies were delivered in that month, 100 more than the previous record month, December 2008. The hospital said that close to 500 of the babies born in September 2009 were boys, and that about 10 percent of the births were of twins. The record number for babies born during a single eight-hour shift during September was 24, or three per hour, and the single day with the most births was the high holiday of Yom Kippur 5770. More than 40 babies were born on that day alone. The hospital said that its doctors have determined that the relatively high number of births on Yom Kippur is not due to fasting by patients.

TEVA RANKS IN TOP 40 eva Pharmaceutical Industries made 20th place in BusinessWeek’s World's Best Companies/Global Top 40 list. According to the ranking, Teva achieved an average annual growth of 8.6 percent and average sales growth of 20.38 percent in 2004-08. At the end of 2008 it posted $10.46 billion in sales, 99 percent of which were outside of the Israeli market. Nintendo was number one on the list followed by Google and Apple. Companies making the list needed a minimum of $10 billion in sales in 2008, with at least 25 percent of coming from outside the company's home region. This year’s top 40 come from 18 countries.

SUCCESSFUL TEST FOR TRAFFIC ELECTRICITY GENERATOR sraeli firm Innowattech successfully tested its method of generating electricity from road traffic in a trial performed Tuesday morning along a 10 meter stretch of Highway 4. During the test, passing cars provided enough power for street lights set up next to the 10 meter strip. The system uses generators implanted two inches below the top level of asphalt that create energy from the weight of cars passing over. Each generator - based on Piezoelectric materials which generate electricity in response to applied mechanical stress - produces 2,000 watts per hour that get stored in batteries along the side of the road. Israel may look to implement the system on the nation's highways, according to project manager Dr. Lucy Edri-Azoulay.

TRIPLE MAZEL TOV TO BOAZ SHABO

NATIONAL

oaz Shabo has endured a great deal since his wife and three children were murdered in a terrorist attack on June 20, 2002, and last week, his current wife gave birth to triplets, two sons and a daughter. Boaz lost his wife and three children when a terrorist entered Yishuv Itamar in Shomron, and was left with four others, facing the painful reality of losing his wife and half his family, while having to continue addressing the needs of the other children. Two years ago, Boaz remarried; to a woman he knew 20 years earlier. While some report he faced a dilemma, if the new marriage should include bringing additional children into the world, with Boaz already a grandfather to four, but he explained a new marriage and the new life can only be complete with new life.

DALAI LAMA VISITS A SUKKAH

INTENATIONAL SHECHITAH TO CONTINUE IN AUSTRALIA ccording to media reports, the findings of a review into ritual slaughter, which have been leaked, will allow shechitah to continue, even though Australian standards require that animals be electrically stunned immediately after ritual killing. Shechitah, or Jewish ritual slaughter, has historically been asserted as the most humane method of killing animals for food. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) made this claim in its submissions to the review, initiated by the former government in 2007. Despite the findings, the ECAJ argued in its submission that shechitah, which involves slitting an animal’s throat, minimises the animal’s pain before death and there is no proof that electric stunning reduces any pain felt. ECAJ president Robert Goot said his organisation requested that the inquiry preserve existing regulations for animal slaughter that allow for shechitah, as well as for Islamic ritual slaughter practices.

POPE TO VISIT ROME SYNAGOGUE FOR DAY OF DIALOGUE ope Benedict XVI will visit Rome's main synagogue on the Catholic Church's annual day of study and dialogue between Catholics and Jews. The Vatican announced Tuesday that the pope will visit the Great Synagogue of Rome on Jan. 17. The day also marks a local Jewish commemoration, called the "Mo'ed di Piombo." According to the Vatican announcement, the Mo'ed di Piombo commemorates "a miraculous event of 1793 when the Jews of Rome escaped an attack by the populace of the city thanks to a sudden storm which doused the fires that had been ignited against the gates of the ghetto." This will be the Church's 21st "Day of Judaism," which usually features lectures and other programs held in cooperation with rabbis and other Jewish leaders. Last January, Italian Jewish leaders boycotted the event because of the Vatican's reintroduction of a Latin prayer that appeared to call for the conversion of the Jews.

he Buddhist spiritual leader met with the congregation's worshipers in the sukkah of Adas Israel Synagogue after Saturday's Sukkot holiday prayers, Ynet reported. The Dalai Lama told the crowd that it was his f irst time inside a sukkah, and that he admires Jews very much for their perseverance through years of oppression. He said he has "a lot to learn from the Jews" and sees them as an example for his own Tibetan people, who have been in exile for 50 years. President Obama declined to meet with the Dalai Lama during his time in Washington for fear that it might aggravate the Chinese government ahead of the president's upcoming visit to Beijing. The president hopes to convince China to impose sanctions on Iran in the U.N. Security Council.

OU SUES: LUKE OIL OVER IMPROPER LABEL ontrary to its logo, Luke Oil Co. is not kosher, according to a lawsuit filed by Orthodox Union. The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America f iled the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Hammond after a regional gas station company failed to remove the trademark from its logo indicating food is kosher, David Butler, the group's lawyer, said. Pictures included in the lawsuit show the trademark, a U in a circle, appearing next to the word "Luke" in various parts of the Luke convenience stores, including above a wall of food and on a cup for fountain drinks. Jews and others with similar dietary concerns rely on the trademark to determine what food is kosher, meaning properly prepared according to Jewish dietary law, according to the lawsuit. The symbol has also been trademarked, which means it can't be used without permission from the orthodox group. Butler said a customer noticed the use of the trademark and reported it to the group in August. Letters were sent to Luke, and although off icials responded, they have yet to remove the trademark, he said.

JEWISH BOXER TO FIGHT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP he World Boxing Association (WBA) has announced that Junior welterweight stalwart, Dmitriy Salita, an observant Jew, is to fight for the WBA light-welterweight title in December. Unbeaten Salita is to fight Amir Khan for the title. Khan is an English-born Muslim who won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics.

Although Salita's family was not observant, he found Judaism when he met a Chabad member in the hospital where his mother was dying of breast cancer. Ukrainian-born Salita wears a kippa and refuses to f ight on the Jewish Sabbath, which means no Friday night f ights.

YESHIVA PRINCIPAL WINS NATIONAL RECOGNITION n Atlanta Jewish day school principal was selected as a 2009 National Distinguished Principal. Rabbi Kalmen Rosenbaum of the Torah Day School is one of six private school principals to receive the award from the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the U.S. Department of Education. He is the third yeshiva principal ever to be recognized in the award's 26 years. "At the helm of every successful school is a successful principal," said Gail Connelly, executive director of the elementary school principals' group. "Our National Distinguished Principals program provides us with an opportunity to recognize the outstanding leadership of these principals and their commitment to creating successful learning communities. Because of them, students thrive academically, teachers grow professionally and communities are strengthened."

JEWISH GROUP SEEKS TO BAR IRVING Jewish group asked authorities in Jackson, Miss., not to host Holocaust denier David Irving. The American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants asked Mayor Harvey Johnson to bar the controversial British historian from speaking at town hall on Oct. 21. White separatists including lawyer Richard Barret, the founder of the Nationalist movement, invited Irving to Jackson as part of a book signing tour, according to the Jackson Free Press. Irving has publicly denied the existence of gas chambers at the Nazi death camp Auschwitz.

MORE FUNDING FOR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS .S. community and religious institutions will receive an additional $4 million in federal funding for security. In light of recent thwarted bomb plots involving two New York synagogues, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) last week urged the Homeland Security Subcommittee to increase federal anti-terror funding to help protect civil, religious and community institutions from terrorist attacks. The measure will be included in the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, bringing the total to $19 million in federal resources allotted for the safeguarding of these groups.

Delicious Dairy Delicacies For Shavuot BY PHYLLIS GLAZER Wondering what to serve on Shavuot? From Biblical Yogurt Cheese to luscious cheesecake, these tasty recipes, from The Essential Book of Jewish Festival Cooking by Phyllis Glazer with sister Miriyam Glazer, will be a sure-fire hit with family and friends. BIBLICAL YOGURT CHEESE

Yogurt cheese (labaneh) was an excellent way for our ancestors to expand the limited repertoire of foods in the biblical diet, and prolong the "shelflife" of yogurt. It could be drained until soft and used as a spread, or left to drain till firm and turned into olive-oil marinated balls, which could last throughout the year. Makes 1 1/2 cups 1 quart plain thick plain cow, sheep or goat yogurt, with no stabilizers Place a large wire-mesh strainer over a bowl. Cut 3-4 layers of cheesecloth into 20" squares, dip in cold water,

wring out and line the colander. Spoon in the yogurt, bring up the edges, squeeze the bottom a little to extract some of the moisture, twist the corners of the cloth together and tie the two opposite edges into a knot. Hang the package from the kitchen faucet for several hours or overnight, and let it drip directly into the sink, or leave to drain over the bowl at room temperature until the yogurt is the consistency of cream cheese. Squeeze the package gently from time to time, to help the package drain faster. Remove the cheese from the cheesecloth and transfer to a closed container. Store in the refrigerator. To serve, bring the cheese to room temperature and spread on a plate. Garnish with extra-virgin olive oil, and chopped olives, capers, and parsley if desired. CHEESE & OLIVE S'MORES

Repeat the process with the rest of the dough and the olives. Lightly roll in sesame seeds or za'atar. Place the balls on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes or till golden-brown. Serve warm. SPINACH FETA QUICHE WITH FRESH BASIL

With spinach reminiscent of spring's fresh green leaves, and dairy products traditional to Shavuot, this delicious quiche is suitable cut into small wedges as holiday hors d'oeuvres or into large wedges for lunch or dinner. Serve with Taratour and Spring Greens Salad. Serves 6 Quiche Crust: 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup (5 ounces) cold butter or margarine 1/3 cup plain yogurt

1 egg yolk Filling: 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach 4 ounces (1 cup) crumbled feta cheese 1/2 cup cottage cheese 6 small scallions, with 2" green tops included, chopped 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 1 large garlic clove, minced or pressed 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 4 eggs 1/2 cup milk Preheat the oven to 400Â°F. Prepare the crust. Put the flour and salt in a bowl of a food processor. Cut in the butter into chunks and add to the flour. Process in on/off pulses until coarse crumbs are formed. In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and yogurt and add to the flour mixture while the machine is running. Remove and shape into a neat ball. (The dough should not be sticky. If it is, knead it briefly on a floured surface.) Flatten the ball and using thumbs, press into a 10" pie plate, distributing the dough around equally, with no dough build-up around the inner edges. Flute the top. Alternately (but more work), dough may be wrapped in plastic wrap, chilled for 30 minutes and rolled out. Use a fork to pierce the bottom and sides of the dough, so it will not rise, or weigh the dough down with beans placed on a circle of parchment paper for easy removal. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until just lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Remove the beans and the parchment paper, if using. Thaw the spinach, and put in a ware mesh strainer to drain. Press and squeeze out any excess liquids. In a food processor, chop the scallions and add the rest of the ingredients except for the spinach. Process for 30 seconds or until blended. Add the spinach and process briefly in on/off pulses. Pour the filling into the partiallybaked crust and bake 10 minutes. Lower heat to 350°F and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the quiche is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist but not wet. Serve hot or at room temperature

Israeli Musician Idan Raichel to Perform In New York City

Amos Oz Misses Out on Nobel Prize in Literature BY JPOST

BY JAMIE KENNEY On Tuesday, November 10, and Wednesday, November 11 at 7 p.m., join popular Israeli artist Idan Raichel as he returns to the Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust for the first time since his sold-out 2007 performances. eaturing songs from his new international release, Within My Walls, Raichel and special guest artists create an eclectic blend of world music that celebrates unity and respect. Idan will be joined by vocalists Maya Avraham, Cabra Casay, and Ravid Kahalani; Gilad Dobrecky, percussion; Yankale Segal, bass, oud, and acoustic guitar; Eyal Sela, flutes and reeds; and other special guests.

hen conscripted into the Israeli army at age 18, Idan Raichel chose not to fight on the front lines. He joined the Army rock band and toured military bases, performing Israeli and European pop hits. After he was discharged, Idan worked as a counselor at a boarding school for immigrants and troubled youth, meeting young people from Ethiopia who were part of Israel’s growing community of Ethiopian Jews. Fascinated by Israel’s diversity, Idan started to attend Ethiopian clubs, synagogues, and ceremonies. When he began to compose and pro-

duce musical recordings, Idan collaborated with over 70 friends and colleagues from around the world, and the Idan Raichel Project was released in November 2006. The New York Times named the album one of the best world music albums of 2007; the CD went multiplatinum in Israel, receiving Best Single, Artist of the Year, and Best Album awards. He has performed at the Sydney Opera House, the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, New York’s Central Park SummerStage, as well as in concerts in India, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Moscow, and Singapore. Praise for the Idan Raichel Project “…a huge hit in Israel for good reason: it envisions a modern, multicultural nation where voices of young and old, Ethiopian and Yemenite, are all heard in songs devoted to love and tolerance.” The New York Times “…a multi-ethnic tour de force.” Billboard Magazine “This one-man Middle East peace accord makes music that is an ambitious celebration of multicultural diversity. The ethnic elements are cleverly rewired with modern grooves to create an ambient journey that thrillingly bridges the traditional and the modern.” The Times of London. Tickets are $40 and $35 for members and are available online at www.mjhnyc.org or by calling the Museum box office at 646.437.4202. These concerts are made possible through a generous gift from Lief D. Rosenblatt.

The Swedish Academy announced that Romanian-born German writer Herta Mueller, and not Israeli author Amos Oz, has won the 2009 Nobel Prize in literature. ccording to odds published by UK betting shop Ladbrokes, Oz, one the most influential and well-regarded intellectuals in Israel, was estimated to have a 4 to 1 chance of winning the award. The Swedish Academy said Thursday that Mueller was honored for work that "with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed."

“Because of her vocal criticism of Romania's government, and its feared secret police, she and her husband left the country.” The 56-year-old author, who emigrated to Germany from then-communist Romania in 1987, made her debut in 1982 with a collection of short stories titled "Niederungen," which was promptly censored by the Romanian government. In 1984 an uncensored version was published in Germany and her work depicting life in a small, Germanspeaking village in Romania was

US Child Deaths From Swine Flu Shoot Up Child deaths from swine flu were 'shooting up" in the United States, with 19 deaths from influenza reported in recent days, a US health official said. ineteen more pediatric deaths for influenza were reported to us this week. We're now up to 76 children having died from the 2009 H1N1 virus," said Anne Schuchat, a senior official at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "To put that in context, in the past three years, the total pediatric influenza deaths ranged from 46 - 88. We've already had 76 children dying from the H1N1 virus and it's only the beginning of October," Schuchat said. The flu season in the United States runs from August to March; the three previous seasons did not have concurrent outbreaks of seasonal and H1N1 influenza. Child deaths from the new strain of H1N1 flu had fallen back in the warm summer months after peaking during the spring, said Schuchat. But they were "starting to shoot up again" with the onset of the autumn flu season, she said, urging parents to have their children vaccinated against flu. The United States this week began a massive campaign to inoculate millions of people against swine flu.

Caution Parents: Autism Cases Are On The Rise NUMBERS BY NICOLE HEGEWALD

BY AFP

A young girl wears a face mask to protect herself from the risk of contracting swine flu. Children are one of f ive groups given high priority for the vaccinations, currently available only in the form of a nasal spray made with greatly weakened, but live, H1N1 virus. Clinical trials of the nasal spray vaccine have shown that it produces "a robust immune response" with one dose in children over the age of nine. But younger children will require two doses of the vaccine and infants cannot have it at all. Children are deemed to be at particular risk from the novel swine flu virus, and the CDC has recommended that all children be inoculated against seasonal and A(H1N1) influenza this season. On Monday, the CDC reported that the number of swine flu cases worldwide had jumped by at least 24,000 in two weeks to exceed 343,000, while deaths from the H1N1 virus edged up to more than 4,100.

Autism awareness is steadily increasing. The autism spectrum has been broadened over time and the definition of autism has been generalized to incorporate more symptoms and levels of severity. As the capability to recognize autistic symptoms in younger children improves, the number of children in America who have autism has increased according to federal health officials. oday, there are approximately 113,000 more children diagnosed with autism then originally believed. Recent studies show that about 673,000 American children have autism. That’s 1 in 100 children. “The concern here is that buried in these numbers is a true increase,” said Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health. “We’re going to have to think very hard about what we’re going to do for the 1 in 100.” Dr. Susan E. Levy of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics subcommittee on autism recognizes how difficult this disease is to diagnose because the child’s behaviors are the only symptoms. “With diabetes you can get a blood test,” said Levy. “As of yet, there’s no

consistent biologic marker we can use to make the diagnosis of autism.” In a telephone analysis from the 2007 National Survey of Children’s Heath parents reported about 1 in 91 children, ages 3 to 17, were somewhere on the autism spectrum. The survey predominantly asked about the child’s health issues and included a couple questions specifically on autism. With this increase, even politicians are taking notice. The President of the United States, Barack Obama, has allocated funds for grant money for autism research. President Barack Obama has allocated funds for grant money for autism research and recently made autism a priority for research. This is according to an OP-ED by Health and Humans Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Federal stimulus money has been earmarked for autism, and a 2006 law pumped millions of dollars of new federal money into autism research, screening and treatment. As autism numbers rise in children in America, organizations such as the International Center for Autism Research and Education, Icare4autism, are doing all they can to raise awareness and knowledge of autism. Fundraisers are being arranged, research is being studied, and donations are being collected to help as many families that are affected by this disease as possible.

Breakthrough Hope for Breast Cancer Treatment BY DEBORAH JONES Researchers reported the first evidence Thursday that cancer cells genetically mutate as the disease progresses, a "watershed" discovery they say holds hope for new treatments. he researchers completed the world's first sequencing of the billions of letters in the DNA of a female cancer patient at three different stages, in just weeks. The feat was reported as the cover story in the October 8 edition of the science journal Nature. Showing that cancer evolves "will lead to a shift in perspective" in how cancer is treated, lead researcher Samuel Aparicio of Canada's British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA) told AFP.

“This is a watershed event in our ability to understand the causes of breast cancer and to develop personalized medicines for our patients.” When a cell divides as a normal and lifelong process, the DNA genetic code

Researchers reported the first evidence that cancer cells genetically mutate as the disease progresses. is copied to each new cell. When mutations cause the new cells to grow out of control, cancer can occur, noted the agency in a statement. Researchers tracked mutations in the woman's healthy cells, in addition to a local tumour when her breast cancer was f irst diagnosed, and in cells nine years later after the cancer spread, or metastasized. In the metastasized cells they found 32 DNA mutations, said Aparicio. "When we looked back to see if they were present in the primary tumour, we found only f ive mutations that could have been present in all cells."

That just f ive of the 32 later mutations were originally present was a surprise, the BCCA said. The mutations -- which they described as "spelling" mistakes in the DNA lettering -- were "the criminals that caused the disease to get started in the f irst place," the BCCA said. "These f ive mutations were previously unknown to researchers as playing a role in cancer." The agency said that "the ability to analyze both the original and the metastatic cancer cells has given us unprecedented information about how breast cancer develops and progresses." "This is a watershed event in our ability to understand the causes of breast cancer and to develop personalized medicines for our patients," Aparicio said in the statement. He said a key f inding was "not only that the primary cancer evolved a lot, but the primary tumour was a mosaic of different mutations which then increased over time". That knowledge will improve cancer tests and treatments, he said, because it shows cells in a tumour are not all the same and each kind of cell may respond differently to treatment. The agency compared being able to decode billions of DNA letters using new next-generation DNA sequencing technology to the discovery of a "secret

book of a breast cancer". Study co-author Marco Marra, director of the Genome Sciences Centre at the cancer agency, noted the f irst decoding of the human genome, completed in 2001, "took years and an enormous amount of funding. We were able to sequence the breast cancer genome in weeks and at a fraction of the cost."

“Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women worldwide and the leading cause of cancer death among women.” Gene sequencing will cost increasingly less and eventually take "a matter of days," predicted Aparicio, allowing doctors to tailor future treatment to individual patients. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women worldwide and the leading cause of cancer death among women. Scientists do not know whether the woman whose DNA was used in the research survived her cancer, said Aparicio, because BCCA studies are conducted anonymously.

Parashat Bereishit 5770, 2009: Cain, Abel, and Tefilah (Prayer) BY RABBI DAVID ETENGOFF Dedicated to the sacred memory of my sister-in-law, Ruchama Rivka Sondra alehah hashalom and to the refuah shalaimah of Sarah bat Rachel and Shmuel Yosef ben Miriam. n my opinion, one of the most daunting and disturbing narratives that appear in all of Tanach (the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible) is that of the deadly encounter between Cain and Abel. The world, as we know it, was nearly brand new. Yet for some undetermined reason or reasons, Cain rose up and murdered his brother: “Cain spoke with his brother Abel. And it happened when they were in the f ield, that Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.” (Bereishit 4:8, Artscroll translation) What was the content of their conversation? Why does the Torah tell us that they “were in the f ield?” What powerful factor(s) suddenly brought on Cain’s blood-lust? Why does the Torah need to tell us that Cain “rose up against his brother Abel?” Surely we know that Abel was his brother and that Cain had no other at this time. Moreover, these questions, and the many others that one could ask, are probably better than any answers that can be provided. The best

The Mind-Body Connection BY JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH Health, according to the World Health Organization's definition, is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and inf irmity. Based on that, if doctors and nurses enhance the level of a patient's physical, mental, occupational and even spiritual well-being, can they at the same time raise his level of health? And if they can, it is their job? hese questions are being raised now as it is increasingly being recognized that reducing an elderly person's levels of stress can enhance his well-being, in all its aspects. Although dementia is a very complex process, it is believed that one can improve a patient's neurological health and perhaps arrest the process of degeneration in the brain and nervous system. This was recently discussed by Dr. Yakir Kaufman, director of neurological services at the psychogeriatric Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem. An Israeli-born behavioral neurologist who was raised in Toronto, received his MD at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School and studied his subspecialty in Canada. He was in fact lecturing from Jerusalem - via videoconference - to psychiatrists and other staffers at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as well as to Herzog personnel sitting near him. Hospital director Dr. Yehezkel Caine and Kaufman said they intend to organize an exchange of doctors with the Brazilian hospital founded by the Jewish community and even hold a conference on psychiatric and geriatric issues at the South American institution. Kaufman, who is not a psychiatrist, is head of Herzog's neuropsychogeriatric department and has studied the science linking body and mind. All the factors of depression, stress, cerebrovascular disease, inflammation and neurode-

generation interact, he said during the videoconferenced lecture. Emotional stress puts "extraordinary demand on physiological and psychological defenses and adaptation mechanisms and results in a neuroimmnoendocrine response. Stress involves inner turmoil, anxiety, sadness, depression, anger, hostility, pessimism and a feeling of social isolation," Kaufman began. Psycho-neuro-immunology is a new combination of f ields that focuses on nervous system control of the connection between the immune and endocrine systems while the brain controls the nervous system.

“When a person is very stressed, his brain secretes cortisol, while the adrenal glands sitting atop the kidneys secrete adrenaline, which are both important stress hormones.” During the last two decades or so, there has been a new partner in this map, Kaufman said. "It is legitimate or even mandatory to look at role of mind - a 'black box' we still know very little of but are learning more about due to function magnetic resonance instrument (fMRI) and positron emission emission tomography (PET) scans. The brain affects mind, and the mind effects the brain," he declared. When a person is very stressed, his brain secretes cortisol, while the adrenal glands sitting atop the kidneys secrete adrenaline, which are both important stress hormones. The more stress the body is exposed to and the longer it continues, the more the wear

and tear on the body, said Kaufman. Cell life is shortened by chronic stress, he added, and cell death - called apoptosis - can occur from excessuve secretion of cortisol. It is known that conditions such as stroke can cause dementia, he continued. But it is not well known that depression can be a predictor of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Stress can trigger the secretion of glucocorticosteroids, leading to high blood pressure, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, which is the precursor of diabetes. He cited a study of nuns' health carried out in Chicago in which those women whose brains had the physiological signs or pathology of Alzheimer's disease did not develop the clinical symptoms because they had a positive attitude and optimism. Mini-strokes and head trauma can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, but so can depression, according to a very large clinical study. Kaufman noted that severe psychological stress and marital problems can increase the risk of stroke. "So can involuntary loss of your job as by dismissal. "This can be especially severe if they are f ired suddenly as they near retirement, for which they are not ready. In a chain of events, this stress can cause harm to the blood vessels, leading to a heart attack or stroke, which in turn can end up as dementia." Two parts of the brain have a high concentration of receptors for stress the hippocampus and the substantia nigra. The f irst, a vital part of the brains of both humans and other mammals, plays important roles in long-term memory and spatial navigation. It has mirrorimage halves in the right and left sides of the brain and curved shapes that to anatomists many centuries ago looked like a seahorse, from which it got its Greek name. This brain structure has a high concentration of receptors for

stress and cells for memory storage. If the hippocampus begins to atrophy, said the Herzog neurologist, the ability to memorize data is impaired. In the extreme, this process can lead to Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Rats that are exposed to stress - such as being put through mazes or on a treadmill or having to f ind a dry place to land in a pool of water - developed impaired memory. Enhanced baseline levels of stress hormones were recently linked to Alzheimer's in lab animals, and the process is similar to what occurs in the human brain.

“If we are able to intervene and reduce stress, we can improve health.” The substantia nigra (Latin for "black substance, as parts of it appear darker than surrounding tissue because of high levels of melanin pigments) is located in the midbrain and plays an important role in movement, reward seeking, learning and addiction. When it degenerates, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative disorders can result. After explaining all the anatomical and functional background, Kaufman said that knowledge of the interaction between emotions and physical conditions could be implemented in an integrative way. "We should treat as many dimensions of well-being as we can. If people feel their lives and existences are meaningless, it can lead to a feeling of uncontrollability, thus increasing stress and the risk of disease. If we are able to intervene and reduce stress, we can improve health. It is true that we are doctors and not social workers, but we work as a team and, if we adopt this

There Are Only Two Choices Left on Iran...Continued from page 11 enhance, not diminish, Iranian prestige. And it may yield the f irst nuclear attack since 1945 some time down the road. At the heart of the problem is not simply the nuclear program. It is the Iranian regime, a regime that has, since 1979, relentlessly waged war against the U.S. and its allies. From Buenos Aires to Herat, from Beirut to Cairo, from Baghdad to, now, Caracas, Iranian agents have done their best to disrupt and kill. Iran is militarily weak, but it is masterful at subversive war, and at the

kind of high-tech guerrilla, roadsidebomb and rocket f ight that Hezbollah conducted in 2006. American military cemeteries contain the bodies of hundreds, maybe thousands, of American servicemen and servicewomen slain by Iranian technology, Iranian tactics, and in some cases, Iranian operatives. The brutality without is more than matched by the brutality within—the rape, torture and summary execution of civilians by the tens of thousands, down, quite literally, to the present day.

This is a corrupt, fanatical, ruthless and unprincipled regime—unpopular, to be sure, but willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power. With such a regime, no real negotiation, based on understandings of mutual interest and respect for undertakings is possible. It is, therefore, in the American interest to break with past policy and actively seek the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. Not by invasion, which this administration would not contemplate and could not execute, but

through every instrument of U.S. power, soft more than hard. And if, as is most likely, President Obama presides over the emergence of a nuclear Iran, he had best prepare for storms that will make the squawks of protest against his health-care plans look like the merest showers on a sunny day. Mr. Cohen teaches at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. He served as counselor of the State Department from 2007 to 2009.

Mitchell, who played a key role in the diplomacy that preceded the 1998 Good Friday peace deal in Northern Ireland, admitted he was facing a hard task in his latest mission"We do not underestimate the difficulty for us or the parties," he said.

Washington is pushing for a global Middle East deal that would see Israel strike peace with the Palestinians while Syria and Lebanon and Arab countries normalise relations with the Jewish state.

Israel and the Palestinians relaunched their peace negotiations in November 2007 but the talks made little visible progress and were suspended in late December after the start of Israel's war in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.

Major Cyber Operation Targets Fraud Takedown...Continued from page 12 and national security agency, which means we can and must address every angle of a cyber case. This is critical, because what may start as a criminal investigation may lead to a national security threat. … At the start of a cyber investigation, we do not know whether we are dealing with a spy, a company insider, or an organized criminal group.” In the case of Operation Phish Phry, money appears to be the driving motive. But as Mueller pointed out, “Something

that looks like an ordinary phishing scam may be an attempt by a terrorist group to raise funding for an operation.” Mueller’s remarks came during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an annual event sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security to help educate the public on the shared responsibility of protecting cyberspace. “Cyber crime might not seem real until it hits you,” Mueller said. “But every personal, academic, corporate, and government network plays a role in national secu-

rity.” To help battle the cyber threat, the Bureau relies on strong partnerships—with law enforcement and intelligence communities worldwide, and with universities, corporations, small businesses, and citizens. Within the government, we have established the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force, which brings together law enforcement, intelligence, and defense agencies to focus on high-priority cyber threats. Within the private sector we run

InfraGard, where we exchange information with 32,000 partners from private industry. But even with all our partnerships, Mueller added, “we are still outnumbered by cyber criminals.” Which is why it’s so important for people to do their fair share. That means protecting your home computer with firewalls, anti-virus software, and strong passwords. “We all have a responsibility to protect the infrastructure that protects the world,” Mueller said.

with the stress to which they are exposed on a regular basis due to war and terrorism and whether this leads to more dementia. Kaufman said Israel is "pretty much like other Western countries in dementia rates, even though Israel's life expectancy is longer than most. "Apparently, there is positive stress in this country. Two people can be put into the same stressful situation, such as being in a tank on the battlefield, and one will get post-traumatic stress disorder, with all its nasty symptoms, while the other one does not. Sweden is a peaceful country that doesn't have what Israel faces every day, but it has a high rate of depression and suicide. Stress is not always objective," he said.

People, he concludes, are flexible and have the ability to change. It depends on how they are raised and how they cope with stresses. Some people are helped by religion, meditation, yoga or special thinking techniques. They are the lucky ones, as they can change their consciousness even when exposed to a lot of stress. They won't break down because of it." In an effort to reduce stress and a feeling of worthlessness among geriatric patients, Herzog already gives lectures not only to the patients' family members but also to foreign caregivers, including Filipinas and Filipinos, who live in patients' homes. Chaplains are also available to give spiritual support to Jews, Christians and Muslims.

The Mind-Body Connection...Continued from page 36 approach, can be even more eff icient as clinicians in treating cognitive impairment." If patients, especially the middle aged and elderly, are given an improved sense of meaning, worth and well-being - even if they lose their job or other things that are important to them - they can be healthier. "I often see in our clinic patients who suddenly lose their jobs who feel meaningless and get stressed. Sometimes they fall into depression. If as a medical team, we can reduce stress by increasing patients' sense of control and the meaning in their lives, if we can provide social, psychological and even spiritual support, wecan improve their health. And by 'spiritual,' I don't

mean that you have to give them religion," said the neurologist, who himself, years ago, went through the process of becoming an observant Jew. Such support can help even those who already have some impairment, he added. Exercise can improve cognitive function, not only for the improved circulation of oxygenated blood in the vessels but also due to endorphins - neurotransmitters - in the brain that produce a sense of pleasure. But exercise, while very beneficial in the elderly, should not be exaggerated and certainly not carried out without supervision, especially in those who have chronic disorders such as arthritis.

Nadler Lauds Passage of Hate Crimes...Continued from page 10 “Whether it is because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability of the victim, these violent acts causing death or bodily injury target not just an individual but an entire group. These crimes do, and are often intended to, spread terror among all members of the group. “Today, we have the opportunity to do the right thing. I hope we can agree to do so. “I am concerned, however, about the section dealing with military commissions. It makes some important improvements but, in some key ways, the system will remain at odds with our

best traditions. “When President Obama initially suspended use of military commissions, I was optimistic that we had seen the end of this flawed system. President Obama has since signaled his intent to revive the commissions, and has called for reforms that would bring them in line with the rule of law. His goal, which I share, is a system that is fair, legitimate and effective. But we already have that in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and our Article III courts. We should use these existing tools and stop insisting on a new and inevitably second-class system. “We cannot win the battle to end mil-

itary commissions today, but, in the meantime, and given the existing Military Commissions Act of 2006, which can be used to try detainees and allows for the admission of statements obtained through the use of cruel, inhuman, and degrading interrogation methods, we should not oppose improvements to this system. Changes made by this bill do improve existing law by placing further limits on the use of coerced testimony and hearsay, expanding the scope of appellate review to include review of facts and not just law, and taking greater account of the need for adequate defense counsel and resources. “These changes do not go far enough,

and additional changes suggested by the Judiciary Committee – including a sunset provision, a limitation on the use of military commissions for Guantanamo detainees, a voluntariness requirement for all statements, a different appeals structure, and a prohibition on the trial of child soldiers by military commission – should have been adopted. Nonetheless, I support the improvements made by this conference report, with the hope that we can make further progress in the future. “So I will support this conference report, mindful that our work is not done. I urge my colleagues to do the same.”

Holocaust Memorial Unveiled in Romania...Continued from page 6 started a visual art contest for the Holocaust Monument, which was won by sculptor Peter Jacobi. In early 2007 a works contract was signed with the sculptor. Under a decision of the Bucharest Municipality General Council and the approval of the National Environmental Protection Agency, an area city planning blueprint was approved for the construction of the Holocaust Memorial on an area of 2,894 sq.m. In February 2009, the Bucharest District

5 Mayoralty issued a building permit for the monument. The unveiling ceremony of Thursday will be conducted under the high patronage of President Traian Basescu. The International Commission for Romanian Holocaust Studies was established on October 22, 2003, at the initiative of former Romanian President Ion Iliescu, and it is composed of Holocaust researchers, historians and social scientists. The members are from Romania, Israel, the US, France and Germany.

On November 11, 2004, the commission drew up a scientific report and submitted to the Romanian Government a series of recommendations, including building a national memorial and museum in Bucharest to commemorate Holocaust victims ; identifying and recording Romanian Holocaust victims ; setting up a special working group to analyse and draw up school curricula and textbooks about the Holocaust ; establishing an archival centre and a foundation for education and research into Holocaust, and cancelling deci-

sions to rehabilitate war criminals, including those issued over the past 15 years. So far, the History of the Jewish People and the Holocaust has been introduced as a subject matter in Romanian high schools and a textbook was published to this end by the Education Ministry that presents the beginnings of the history of the Jewish people, with emphasis on Europe, the anti-Semite movements of 1919-1938, Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitism and the policies for the extermination of European Jews.

tice Judaism just as their ancestors did, including observing the Sabbath, keeping kosher, celebrating the festivals and following the laws of family purity. And they continued to nourish the dream of one day returning to the land of their ancestors, the Land of Israel. In recent years, Shavei Israel has

brought some 1,500 Bnei Menashe back home to Zion, including 450 in the past three years who settled in the Upper Galilee. Another 7,000 still remain in India, waiting for the day when they too will be able to return to Israel and the Jewish people.

Bnei Menashe Celebrate Sukkot...Continued from page 6 come to Israel will soon become a reality”. The Bnei Menashe (Hebrew for "sons of Manasseh") claim descent from one of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel, who were sent into exile by the Assyrian Empire more than 27 centuries ago.

states of Manipur and Mizoram. Their ancestors wandered through Central Asia and the Far East for centuries, before settling in what is now northeastern India, along the border with Burma and Bangladesh. Throughout their exile, the Bnei Menashe nonetheless continued to prac-

Michigan Jews Embraced Succot During Hard Times...Continued from page 7 Josh Davidson, 18, from West Bloomfield, is a Michigan State University freshman whose parents are "doing all they can" for his education. "It has been tough. It hasn't been the same," he said. "I'm just happy to have a family that loves me, a good education - not everyone has what I have." It's not a coincidence that Succot reminds Americans of Thanksgiving. When the pilgrims searched for Thanksgiving's festive design, they found Succot's passage in the Bible. Whitney Harris-Linton, Jewish learning coordinator at MSU's Hillel Center, said living in the succa gives perspective.

"Whatever roof we have over our heads," she said, "just be thankful that we have structure, we have stability, we have somewhere to live." Davis had to eliminate luxuries, but said her good marriage and health kept her happy. "It's amazing how when you have to, you can spend a lot less money," she said. "But you look around, and in my age group I have two friends who are suffering from cancer... So I say to myself, 'My God, I have to stop worrying about [how] I'm not making the same amount of money, and [be grateful] that I have my health.'" The Succot blessings must be made with the Four Species - willow and myrtle branch-

es, a palm frond and a citron. Weingarten said this tradition was testimony to Jewish unity. Despite the economy, Luger said Yad Ezra had broken fund-raising records at its charity dinner this month. "I am constantly amazed at the level of commitment and generosity our community has," she said. "We really behave as one big family." Andrew Goldberg, 45, from West Bloomfield, plans to pack boxes of food for people in need with his family. "With the shortages at food banks and with more people who have less food than they have had in the past just because of eco-

nomics, a lot of people don't get to celebrate the fall festival, because they don't have enough food," he said. Like the Israelites, Michiganders hope these times will pass. And Michigan Jews know that if they offer help to the community, that hope can become a reality. "God judged us on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, and it doesn't matter what we do, it's already decided what we're going to make financially this coming year," Weingarten said. "The question is, how bumpy is that ride going to be? And that's up to us - and by us doing good deeds and everything that we do that makes that ride smoother."

Unemployment’s Continued Climb and the Effect on...Continued from page 15 the entire story. Nearly every day we read about additional companies that are asking employees to take unpaid leave or furloughs. They are not counted among the unemployed. The average work week for rank-and-f ile employees in the private sector, which makes up about 80% of the workforce, has been reduced to less than 33 hours. This is nearly an hour less than it was before the recession began and the lowest level it has been at since the government started tracking this data in 1964. The average length of unemployment has now reached 26.7 weeks, the longest time period since this data has been tracked going back over 60 years. These statistics do not bode well for the administration’s stimulus plan which was implemented initially to create 4 million new jobs. After the $787 billion

package was passed and it became clear that there was nothing in the plan which would induce job creation anywhere near this magnitude, the goal was changed to 4 million jobs ”created or saved”. We all know it is nearly impossible to prove what jobs were saved. When will these jobs return? Not only do we need to replace the 8 million lost jobs but our economy needs an additional 100,000 jobs per month to keep up with population growth. Even if job growth returns to the rapid pace of the 1990s, during which we were adding 2.5 million public sector jobs per year (double the 2001-2007 pace), the U.S. wouldn’t get back to a 5% unemployment rate until late in 2017. Other estimates are more bullish putting the estimated date at 2014. An estimate which is troubling for the commercial real estate market is that unemployment is

expected to remain above 8% through 2012. Many economists have stated that the economy recently entered recovery mode. It is important to note, however, that without jobs, you don’t have a genuine recovery. Consumer spending is the economy’s main driver and without job growth and pay raises, consumer spending will not revive substantially. This is particularly true because alternative sources of spending power, including home equity and credit cards, are largely tapped out. During the last recession, in 2001, the number of jobless people reached a little more than double the number of full time job openings. By the beginning of this year, job seekers outnumbered jobs four-to-one and, today, the ratio has reached six-to-one. As the economy gets tangibly health-

ier, there is a fear that employers will continue to make strides wringing more production out of fewer workers. Even as demand picks up, they may be able to hold off on hiring. There is some hope that the job market may rebound more quickly. One thing different about this recession is that so many of the job losses have been at service related companies that have come to dominate U.S. employment. Since the recession began, 3.3 million service sector jobs have been lost, a 2.9% decline which is the largest recorded since 1939. In comparision, the previous two recessions each saw service sector jobs fall by only 0.5%. Service related f irms may have a more pressing need than manufacturers to rehire workers as demand comes back. A key question remains: How bad do things have to get before the Obama

Baby Shopping Secrets, What You Should Know… browsing Web sites such as www.eBay.com & www.craigslist.com, and put the word out among parents you know. You may get quite serviceable clothes delivered by the box load to your front door. But inspect hand-medowns carefully for unraveling thread, loose buttons or snaps, or scratchy appliqués and elastic bands. Don’t dress your child in anything that’s not as good as new or that appears unsafe to you.

BY CONSUMER REPORTS It will take every ounce of willpower not to load up at checkout with mini Levi’s, teeny-tiny sailor suits, floral sundresses, peasant smocks, and rompers in every color. Baby clothes, trendier than ever and oh-so-scrumptious, are as irresistible to parents (and friends and relatives) as a pool on a scorching day. Everyone wants her baby to be welldressed, and manufacturers have responded with micro styles that appeal to our adult fashion sense. ot that your baby cares. All she wants is to be comfortable. And that’s important to keep in mind. The basic necessities, even if they’re “preowned,” will keep your little cutie content. Still, you may not want to dress your baby in just any old thing.

RECOMMENDATIONS WHAT’S AVAILABLE

SHOPPING SECRETS Expect to get clothes as gifts. During your first forays into the baby department, buy only a few items in newborn size, such as one or two sleepers. Depending on how large your baby is at birth, she may outgrow this size within a few weeks. You’ll want to focus on 6-month-size clothing--your baby will grow into it quickly. Even then, try to hold back and fill in after you’ve reaped the birth-announcement bounty. Clothes from generous friends and relatives may get you through the first year. Rest assured that knowing gift-givers, such as friends who are already parents, grandmothers, and aunts, will buy in bigger sizes, understanding how fast babies grow. Watch for sales on brands you like. Sales are everywhere--in stores, in catalogs, and online at the end of each season and in between. Major chain stores that sell baby clothes have regular promotions, sometimes weekly. If your baby is a newborn, resist the urge to stock up, since most babies whiz through this size range. Don’t shop too far in advance on larger sizes, either. Infants can have sudden growth spurts that throw off your sizing forecasts. A winter coat you snag

(www.polo.com), Talbots Kids (www.talbotskids.com), and Tommy Hilfiger (available at www.macys.com). Many of these brands can also be found at major retailers and e-tailers such as www.target.com, www.babiesrus.com, www.buybuybaby.com, and www.babyuniverse.com. As with adult clothing, prices run the gamut.

Be wary of tiny buttons, hooks, snaps, pompoms, bows, and appliqués. for your baby in August may be too small by December. Consider used. If you’ve never boght anything secondhand, start now. You can easily get away with it, especially when your child is an infant. “My biggest money saver was the local moms’ group sale,” says Laura Winblade of Bellevue, Wash., mother of a preschooler and a first-grader. “In my area, there’s one for mothers of multiples, and they have a sale twice a year. Babies go through clothes so quickly, the small stuff is always in good condition. But I found that as my children got older, it was harder to find quality used clothes.” Winblade has a point. As babies become toddlers, and messy activities such as fingerpainting come into play, clothing gets more wear and tear. But infant clothing is another story; it’s not unheard of to pay 50 cents for a near-perfect pair of pants that would cost you $12 or more new. Secondhand shops are prime real estate for special-occasion baby and toddler clothes such as outfits and fancy party duds that have been worn only once or twice (if at all). You’ll likely pay a fraction of the retail cost. Check local tag or garage sales, try

You’ll find “ boy” and “girl” baby clothes in every imaginable pattern, color (besides pink and blue, think mocha, powder, buttermilk, safari, camouflage, silver, avocado, Bordeaux, and pistachio), style, and fabric. Cotton, which is soft and absorbent, is still the most common fiber. Organic cotton children’s clothes are coming into their own as the trend toward “green” takes hold outside the health food store. Many garments are made of cotton/polyester blends, which dry quickly and resist wrinkles, or cotton/spandex for maximum give. You’ll also find thick, soft knits and fleece made of microfiber. At specialty boutiques, you’ll see high-maintenance fabrics that require ironing or dry cleaning, such as linen and cashmere, as well as hand-knit items. Major brands of infant wear can be found in leading department stores and retail chains across the country, online, and in catalogs. They include, in alphabetical order: Baby Gap (www.gap.com), Baby Lulu (www.babylulu.com), Baby Style (www.babystyle.com), Bunnies by the Bay (www.bunniesbythebay.com), Carter’s (www.carters.com), First Impressions Baby, (available at www.macys.com), Flapdoodles (www.flapdoodles.com), Good Lad (online retailers), Gymboree (www.gymboree.com), Halo Innovations (for sleep sacks, also known as wearable blankets, www.haloinnovations.com), Hanna Andersson (www.hannaandersson.com), Lands’ End (www.landsend.com), Little Me (www.littleme.com), Mulberribush (www.mulberribush.com), Old Navy (www.oldnavy.com), Pumpkin Patch (available at www.nordstrom.com), Ralph Lauren

When stocking up on basics before your baby arrives, purchase very little in newborn size. Your baby will outgrow these tiny garments fast--sometimes in less than a month. It’s more practical to buy in the 3- to 6-month or 6- to 9-month size. If saving money is your mission, do most of your shopping postbaby showers and after friends and relatives respond to your birth announcement. Then fill in any gaps in your baby’s wardrobe and buy as she grows. Consider safety. Be wary of tiny buttons, hooks, snaps, pompoms, bows, and appliqués. They can be choking hazards. Routinely check clothes and fasteners for these loose items. Avoid loosely knitted clothes--sweaters, booties, or hats--that look like they might trap a baby’s tiny fingers or toes. Cut all dangling threads before your baby wears a garment and avoid clothing that has seams with very few stitches per inch. Before you put socks or booties on your baby, turn them inside out to look for small threads that could capture toes. Low-price and mid-price garments often have soft but sturdy fabrics, competent workmanship, and plenty of fashion flair. And they’re usually machine washable--a definite plus. Upscale baby clothes cost more (sometimes amazingly more) than standard garments, without a proportionate increase in quality and durability. If you buy such clothes, you’re doing it for style. High-fashion clothes may require hand laundering, even dry cleaning. (Air out any dry-cleaned clothes before your baby wears them.) Remember that your baby will quickly outgrow anything you buy. And no matter how carefully you monitor, he will spill on everything as he becomes more mobile.

Tips On Burglary Prevention BY FLATBUSH SHOMRIM I'm sure during you life time many of you have been a victim of some type of crime. Many losses in crimes, you would just go through your insurance and it wouldn't effect or change your life. When it comes to being a victim of a home burglary things change. You feel invaded, you lose jewelry that has sentimental value, savings that is kept in your home, you have the hassle of filing a police report and waiting for the Evidence Collection team to search for fingerprints, etc. hen walking down a street It is not too diff icult to f igure out who is home and who is away or on vacation. Burglars know exactly what there looking for. The point of these Burglary Tips is to diffuse them by thinking you are home. Please follow these safety tips careful-

ly and hopefully you won't be the next victim. If you are planning on being away: 1- Stop the mail deliveries with your local Post Office. (Having an overstuffed mail box is a sign that you are not home) 2- Have a neighbor collect any flyers, newspaper or magazines dropped off at your door. 3- Ask a neighbor to utilize at least one of your garbage cans and to put it out a night before collection as if you would do if your were home. (please remember to ask them to pull back the empty can) 4- If the weather is warm leave one air conditioner on fan. (Fan on will defray your electric cost) If you feel uncomfortable doing so with a window unit than you can leave a pail filled with water outside nderneath your unit. (This may look like your unit may have just turned off) 5- Leave a few radios on in the house. (Kitchen and master bedroom) 5- Make sure your shabbos clocks are

turning on and off your lights. (A house without any lights on in evening is a sign you may not be home) 6- Keep window shades slightly open but not enough for someone to look in to see an unoccupied home. 7- Make sure all windows and doors are locked and secure. 8- If you have a driveway ask a neighbor to utilize it. 9- If you have an alarm make sure to use it. (give a trusted neighbor a key to your house and alarm number in order to shut off if your alarm is faulty) 10- Make sure any outside lights you may have are turned on. 11-If you have a camera system please make sure it records.

12- If you don't have an alarm, outside lighting, window gates, etc. and would like to upgrade your security options you may call your local precinct Crime Prevention Officer to get a security survey (free of charge). 13-ABSOLUTELY DO NOT KEEP ANY VALUABLES (JEWLERY, CASH, ETC) IN YOUR MASTER BEDROOM OR HOME OFFICE. THE FIRST AND SOMETIMES ONLY PLACE BURGLARS RANSACK ARE THE TWO ABOVE.

Victoria Falls:

An Exhilarating Experience

BY MENAHEM FOGEL My high school history teacher was an Englishman by the name of Emil Beth. He was the quintessential educator of the 1960s. A tough disciplinarian, with a wry sense of humor, he instilled in us a love, a passion even, for the study of history. He had us go into the battlefield with or against Napoleon at Waterloo. e wept with Ferdinand Magellan as he passed safe and unharmed through the treacherous straights of Cape Horn on his circumnavigation of Earth. We, the people marveled with Thomas Jefferson at the completeness of the American Constitution. And we also tracked through darkest Africa with the intrepid Henry Morton Stanley until we too could say Dr. Livingstone I presume. To my sorrow, at the end of 10th grade, Emil Beth left to pursue a new life in Canada. On his last day at school he gathered us together and said: Gentlemen (even though we were all of fifteen years old he always called us that, or by some personal nick-

name), if there is but one thing you must do in this life, go and see Victoria Falls. After I turned 50, I started reconnecting with old friends with whom I had lost contact, and I searched out my old history teacher. Thanks to the internet I tracked him down to Port McNeill, a small town near the northern tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. In a 2-hour conversation that ranged from history to philosophy, I reminded him of his charge 35 years earlier, and that I had indeed fulfilled it. Id been to see Victoria Falls. I made the journey to Victoria Falls via overnight train from Bulawayo Zimbabwes second largest city. Second-class travel on Zimbabwe Rail is an experience in its own right, which I dont particularly recommend to the uninitiated. However, a twenty dollar bill and a handshake with the conductor found me in a compartment by myself, and the regular clickety-click of the wheels on the tracks

A breathtaking view of Victoria Falls during sunset. combined with the slow rocking of the steam-powered train, and I was off to sleep in a flash. I arrived at Victoria Falls station which reminded me of something out of a spaghetti western - early in the morning. The first thing that you see as you step off the train is the misty spray hanging over the rain forest, along with the overwhelming rumble of the falls: Mosi-oa-Tunya The Smoke that Thunders as its called by the locals. Its an easy distance from the station to the entrance of the Victoria Falls National Park. There I was handed a plastic mackintosh and off I traipsed into the rain forest. The walk is drenching but exhilarating, the rumble turns

A tourist smiles for the camera as the rushing water at Victoria Falls washes over him.

Some tourists enjoy the birdseye view of Victoria Falls. into an ear-shattering roar, and then all of a sudden the rain forest ends and there you stand, face to face with this expansive panorama that literally takes your breath away.

Victoria Falls is known by its locals as the smoke that thunders. yelling because of the overpowering growl as millions of gallons of water plunge every minute from the Zambezi River an almost touchable distance opposite you into the abyss below. I stayed there for a few hours just taking it in and then returned to the Victoria Falls hotel, completely drenched through. After a shower and a change of clothes, I headed for the lounge where I enjoyed a most wonderful Pims No. 1 Cup and lemonade cocktail, garnished with mint leaf, cucumber and cherry. There in the lounge I heard of the moon bow from one of the waiters, a local young man who went

Pictured above, a captivating rainbow overshadows Victoria Falls and resting in its waters, some tourists find comfort by relaxing in the beautiful Victoria Falls. I was so shocked by the enormity of this spectacle that I was only able to breathe in. I couldnt exhale! Victoria Falls are over a mile wide and more than 100m high. The racket and the spray and the sunshine and the rainbow overwhelm you completely, and the distance between you and this natural wonder of the world is all of 75 feet! You can almost reach out and touch it! In comparison you experience Niagara Falls

from close but only from the side in a commercialized environment, and the Iguacu is seen from further away. Here, you are up close and extremely personal with the largest natural wonder on the planet. And what a wonder it is! There isnt an adjective thats sufficiently powerful to describe the feeling: awe-struck hardly begins to perhaps come close, maybe. Communication between people is by

by the name of Goodness (the meaning that Africans attach to names is worth an entire article all by itself). Everyone has seen a rainbow, he said, but how many have seen a moon bow? Tonight there is a full moon, so go out to the falls again tonight, he encouraged me, and youll see something you have never ever seen before. He was right. I had never seen it before or ever since. For here, where the spray of the falls rises to a height of over 400 meters, on a clear full-moonlit night, the moon bow is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. Youâ€™ll never be able to forget it!
