Robert Gates, the US Defense Secretary doesn’t believe there is a plan to deal with an Iranian nuclear threat. The US Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, has given the White House what has been described as a “wakeup” call over its lack of a credible long-term plan on how to prevent Iran obtaining the ability to produce nuclear weapons. three-page memo written by Gates, to General James Jones, Barack Obama’s top Adviser on Foreign Affairs, says the Administration has yet to come up with an effective strategy should Iran from continuing to enrich nuclear fuel and have all the other elements of a weapons program in place. The memo was described by officials to the New York Times. According to the newspaper, the document was drawn up in January, shortly after the passing of a deadline set by President Obama for Iran to respond to offers of greater dialogue over the nuclear issue. The memo comes as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, warns that if new United Nations sanctions are not imposed on Iran’s nuclear program

BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU Modern Israel, only 62 years old Monday night, is a world leader in society, technology medicine and dozens of other fields. National-religious Zionit Rabbi Shlomo Aviner says, “Think what we could do if the world were not against us.” srael as a country dates back to the time of King Saul, and its ancient success is recorded in the Bible with the compilation of the Book of Psalms by his successor King David, whose son King Solomon built the First Temple. Following the Destruction of the Second Temple and the subsequent end of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel for 2000 years, the modern State of Israel has astonished the world with its achievements since it was established in 1948. Israel, only a fraction of one percent of the Middle East land mass and 2 percent of its population, has the highest ratio of university degrees per capita in the world. The country, by a large margin, produces more scientific papers per capita than any other nation in the world and has the highest number of scientists and technicians per capita in the world.

With those achievements, it is not surprising that Israel has the highest number of PhD’s and the highest number of physicians per capita in the world. Israel also is the only nation in the world that entered the 21st century with a net gain in its number of trees. Taking care of Jews around the world, the nation is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on Earth while respecting other religions. It is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian population has grown over the last 50 years and is the only country in the Middle East where Christians, Muslims and Jews are all free to vote. Despite all its success, Israel also leads the country in United Nations Security Council resolutions against the Jewish State. Of the 175 U.N. Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel. Of the 690 U.N. General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel. Nevertheless, Israel is undeterred. Critics of anti-Israeli boycotts often point out that those supporting sanctions of Israeli products and inventions would have to live without cel-

The one thing I’ve come to learn is that there is nothing greater, stronger, or more powerful than the heart of a volunteer. pon walking into the Flatbush Hatzoloh headquarters, located on the corner of Avenue N and Ocean Avenue, only days before a very important fundraising event taking place Sunday, April 25th, 2010 at Shaare Zion, I was greeted by warm friendly smiles and the hustle and bustle of the dedicated, kind, and genuinely caring individuals who make up the backbone of such an amazing, well-run organization whose main objective is to help save lives on a daily basis. The Flatbush Hatzoloh is comprised of a vibrant group of over 200 volunteers, emergency medical technicians and paramedics who have all been thoroughly trained and licensed by the State of New York. Operating with seven ambulances in the greater Flatbush community, Hatzoloh is reachable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and responds to approximately 12,000 calls per year. Each member is equipped with a radio in order to be easily reached. Once called, Hatzoloh members respond within two to three minutes. Each volunteer must

Student Organizations Ask For Protection Against Anti-Semitism In response to recent threats, thirteen national Jewish organizations have sent a letter to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan arguing that the department’s Office for Civil Rights has adopted a policy that fails to protect Jewish students from anti-Semitic harassment on college campuses.

Semitism solely as a manifestation of religious bias, over which the Education Department lacks jurisdiction. “Jewish students’ should have some recourse and remedy if they are subject to intimidation or harassment on the basis of their identity of being Jewish,” said Richard Foltin, director of national and legislative affairs at the American Jewish Committee. “We want to make sure that the resources of our national institutions, our federal government, are in place for those students when they’re needed.” Along with the AJC, signatories to the letter include the American Jewish Congress, the

he letter urges the department to address incidents of campus anti-Semitism under its mandate to investigate instances of discrimination on the basis of race and national origin. The Jewish groups’ letter expressed concern that the department is treating campus anti-

Anti-Defamation League, Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and the Orthodox Union, among others. Jewish groups have grown increasingly vocal in recent years over what they see as a surge in campus anti-Semitism. The University of California, Irvine, an Orange County campus that has garnered national attention for the aggressive anti-Israel activism of its Muslim student group, has emerged as a focus of Jewish communal concerns.

NY Man Sentenced to 10 Years For Financing Terrorism A New York businessman was sentenced Monday to more than 10 years in prison for trying to funnel money to a terrorism training camp in Afghanistan through an undercover agent posing as a wealthy Middle Easterner.

“You knew these ends were assisting terrorism that was of a type, that it was on the edge of causing substantial death and destruction to people like you and me,” the judge said. “The very fabric of civilization is endangered by terrorism.” In 2003, Alishtari donated $20,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The committee renounced the contribution and gave it away to charity after news reports identified Alishtari as an NRSC Inner Circle Member for Life. Alishtari also donated more than $15,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee between April 2002 and August 2004. The NRCC has donated to charity funds equal to the amount of his contributions, spokesman Paul Lindsay said.

$152,500 he believed was being sent to Pakistan and Afghanistan to support a terrorist training camp. Alishtari, also known as Michael Mixon, thought the money would be used to buy night vision goggles, medical supplies and other equipment and advised the agent he had to be “three steps away” from the money so it could not be traced back to him. Defense attorneys had initially argued that Alishtari was more interested in potential profits from his loan business than in terrorism activity. Alishtari also pleaded guilty to stealing millions of dollars from victims through the fraudulent loan investment program. The judge ordered him to pay restitution to victims in the scheme, but a figure has not been determined. The judge said at sentencing Alishtari knew what he was doing.

bdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari pleaded guilty in September to charges of terrorism financing and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Judge Alvin Hellerstein sentenced him to 121 months plus three years of supervised release. He faced up to 20 years behind bars. Alishtari was operating a phony loan investment program when he met the undercover agent. Prosecutors said he accepted an unspecified amount of money from the agent to transfer

Casspi Ends Season With Questions other Kings players. In that span, he went from being an anonymous 23rd pick in the draft to a member of the all-rookie team at the NBA All-Star Game. He was the first off the bench for the Kings. But when Casspi returned from All-Star Week, his minutes dropped off significantly. Coach Paul Westphal spoke of a rookie barrier; he said Casspi looked “worn down.” But the Israeli, who was practicing as usual and didn’t feel particularly tired, didn’t accept the explanation. Nor did his teammates.

Or Ashual Wins International Bible Contest BY JONAH MANDEL Or Ashual, a 17-year-old student at the Kfar Sava Amana Ulpena for girls, was announced on Tuesday as the winner of the World Bible Quiz competition for 2010, which took place on Israel’s 62nd Independence Day at the Jerusalem Centre for the Performing Arts. he first runner-up was Elad Nachshon of the De Shalit high school in Rehovot, and the third place went to Avner Netanyahu, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s 15-year-old son who studies at the Hebrew University High School (“Leyada”). The younger Netanyahu was also the winner of last month’s National Bible Quiz. Ashual bested 15 other finalists from all over the world, including the Americas and Australia. The theme of this year’s competition was the revitalization of the Hebrew language, and Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky enthralled the audience with his personal story of first encountering the difficult Hebrew of the Bible in Soviet imprisonment, in what was yet another challenge he overcame that provided him with strength, encouragement and inspiration.An excited

and proud Binyamin Netanyahu sat through the event with his wife Sara and son Yair, and presented the traditional prime minister’s question, which was handed to him after the contestants had already taken their places away from the audience - in a break from the competition’s tradition. Upon handing the first prize to Ashual, the premier acknowledged how excited he was over his son’s participation, and expressed his awe over the participants’ achievements. “David Ben Gurion said that the foundation of our existence here is the Bible,” Netanyahu said. “I was brought up studying the Bible, so were my brothers. The Bible has once again become the Book of Books for all of Israel.” Netanyahu took the opportunity to reiterate his decision to relaunch the Bible Quiz for adults after a 29-year hiatus. Education Minister Gideon Sa’ar recently announced that the event would take place this upcoming Hanukka. “The Bible is the basis for the existence of the People of Israel and the State of Israel,” the beaming premier stressed. “May you be blessed and become a light unto the nations,” he told the participants in a subtle nod to winner Ashual, whose first name means “light” in Hebrew.

Academic Freedom or Support for Terror? BY MAAYANA MISKIN Taxpayer-supported Tel Aviv University allowed supporters of terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hizbullah to take part in a video conference last week titled Voices from Gaza. Participants included American professors who have voiced support for terrorist groups. ne participant was American professor Sara Roy, who argues that Israel has caused a humanitarian crisis in Gaza without which Hamas would be a pragmatic, moderate group and has accused Israel of intending to “humiliate and dehumanize” Arabs. Another participant was Richard Norton, an academic and author who has called to recognize Hizbullah. The American side was connected to residents of Gaza, who accused Israel of causing a humanitarian crisis. The conference was moderated by Professor Uri Hadar, who is known for his radical views, which include support for Israeli spy Tali Fahima and former MK Azmi Bishara, who fled the country when his MK immunity was

Hadar also supports young Israelis who refuse to enlist in the IDF. The event, f irst reported by Maariv, aroused anger among supporters of the university and, according to Maariv, among staff members as well. University off icials defended the conference as an expression of academic freedom. “Tel Aviv University takes care to ensure its researchers have independence and academic freedom, in this case as in others,” they said. University staff also argued that the event should not be considered a conference, as most speakers were appearing by video. “This isn’t a conference, it’s passively watching a video conference,” they stated. However, there were not rebuttals to the video appearances. TAU researchers did not actively participate in the event, but merely discussed their reactions amongst themselves afterward, they said.

First Israeli Government Meeting Made Public

David Ben Gurion reading the Israeli Declaration of Independence. BY RONI SOFER The Government Secretariat on Monday published rare papers documenting the first government meeting in Israel, just ahead of the state’s 62nd Independence Day. he meeting, which took place in Tel Aviv just two days after the state was established in 1948, on May 16, hosted a debate on the selection of ministers and updates on the situation at the front. Cabinet Secretary Tzvi Hauser said the public now had a rare chance to learn about the moments immediately following Israel’s founding. “It’s exciting to see with the perspective of time gone by how things were handled, and how historical decisions still affecting our lives today were made,” he said. On Sunday, May 16, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, who was serving as both prime minister and defense minister, opened the meeting with the following speech: “We will open the f irst meeting of the provisional government and hear a report by Moshe Shertok (Sharett). I assume as self-evident, if there has not been a decision on this matter yet, that any discussion during these meetings, whether important or not, is certainly conf idential and no one is permitted to discuss it with anyone else, not even his close friends or conf idantes, because these are matters of the state and not of the people participating in these meetings.” Ben-Gurion then explained occurrences at the front. “The situation in Tel Aviv is well-known – explosions. I do not have any details on the last bombing. This morning four port workers were killed,” he said. There was also some bad news from the Negev. “The Egyptian columns are progressing from the south. There is an unconf irmed report of a naval landing around Majdal (currently Ashkelon). Posters have been distributed in the Negev calling on Jews to surrender. A convoy of 200 vehicles has arrived in Beersheba,” the prime minister said. But the news from Jerusalem was slightly more uplifting. “The pressure on the way to Jerusalem and its surroundings has been relieved. We conquered Latrun but were taken out of there. The Arabs got hold of a treasure – one of the new cannons and a few armored cars,” he said, adding that the forces had later recaptured Latrun. “We have conquered nearly all of

Jerusalem, from the heart of the entrance… and the Old City, which is besieged by Jews nearly on all sides. The Jews in the Old City are besieged by the Arabs.”

A ‘minister’ or a ‘governor’? Ben-Gurion then went on to list the ministers, 12 in all. Minister of Immigration and Health Haim-Moshe Shapira told those present, “I am presenting the question of the assembly of the system. Each should do as he sees f it.” Rabbi Yehuda Leib Hacohen Maimon, who was serving as minister of religions and war victims, added that he had “investigated and discovered that some departments have already begun working”. He demanded to know why he was being left behind. The leaders also debated the title of minister, with the minister of agriculture, Aharon Zisling, suggesting the title of “representative” or “trustee”. He opposed the title of governor, however, because it lacked “good taste”. Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok, who later served as prime minister under the name Sharett, liked the title of governor but explained its problems. “Half of the Jewish settlement is comprised of natives of Israel. They have no association with this word. The other half contains many Yemeni Jews, Germans, and others who have no such association. This word may have the connotation of bragging, but it is a nice Hebrew word with a pleasant sound to it. Trustee is unacceptable to me because there is a concept of trustee for a trust fund,” he said. Finance Minister Eliezer Kaplan believed there was no need for a new Hebrew name for the position. “I suggest we behave as other nations do. If it is a government, then its members are ministers,” he said, and immediately received an irate reply from Shertok. “For me it is a question of conscience,” he said. “In the State of Israel I would not use a foreign name like ‘minister’.” Finally the Police Minister, BechorShalom Sheetrit, offered a biblical solution. “I suggest a name from the bible – Sar (minister in Hebrew),” he said. Ben-Gurion responded by supporting the title of ‘governor’, but, of course, Sheetrit was victorious in the end.

The Miracle of Israel at 62: Former IAEA Chief: ‘Israel Tiny Country, a Huge Success Understands Only Violence’ Continued from Cover lular phones, which were developed in Israel, and would have to forego many lifesaving drugs that were also discovered and made in Israel. Anti-Zionists would have to do without an anti-virus program for their computers because there were first developed in Israel, as was voice technology and instant messaging. In the early 1980’s, IBM chose an Israeli-designed computer chip as the brains for its first personal computers. In the field of economics, Israel hosts the

world’s largest wholesale diamond center and is responsible for most of the cut and polished diamonds in the world. It also has the largest number of companies on the NASDAQ stock exchange, outside of the United States and Canada. Another modern marvel is the revival of the Hebrew language, the only dead language that ever was revived. The ”People of the Book,” as Jews are known, publishes in Israel more books per capita than any other country and has the most independent and free Arabic press in the Middle East.

Magen David Yeshivah Celebrates Yom Atzmaut

Photo by Erika Sabagh The Magen DavidYeshivah in Brooklyn celebrated Israeli Independence Day on Tuesday with an assembly that included a performance by 55 students of the third grade. Led by morah Stern the students sang and told the story of the wars that Israel has suffered through and the hope for peace in the near future. The assembly hall was packed with over 100 proud parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Many of the older generations had lived in Israel and the performance brought many a tear to their eyes.

BY HANA LEVI JULIAN The former head of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohamed El Baradei, expressed support for Palestinian Authority violence against Israel. n a published report, 68-year-old El Baradei said the “resistance” was the only path open to PA Arabs because “the Israeli occupation only understands the language of violence.” El Baradei, who recently stepped down as head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, is considering a run for the Egyptian presidency. According to El Baradei associate Ibrahim Nawar, the possible candidate told members of his new opposition party, “The peace process [with Israel] has become a stupid joke which we talk about without achieving any progress.” As for the security fence along the Gaza border, Nawar told reporters that E lBaradei said “It appears to be participation in the siege of Gaza, which has become the world’s largest prison. The logical solution to the problem would be to close the tunnels and open border crossings while creating a free trade zone in Rafiah, where Palestinians can trade and then return to Gaza.” If the former nuclear inspector decides to run in the elections, scheduled for September 2011, it is likely he will further splinter the already divided opposition coalition, according to a Newsweek analysis. The strongest faction within that coalition, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, won 20 percent of the seats in the 2005 parliamentary elections running as an independent group. However, the faction is now split between the older, more conservative leaders and the younger, more politically motivated members. El Baradei would deepen the divide, writes

Former head of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohamed El Baradei Newsweek analyst Sarah A. Topol. President Hosni Mubarak, 81 and seriously ill, is undoubtedly hoping for just such an opportunity, given that he is working to ensure that his son Gamal follows in his footsteps to the presidency. Nonetheless, the feat may be more difficult than he originally anticipated; the ongoing government crackdowns on Muslim Brotherhood activities have sparked increased opposition at the grassroots level. El Baradei has already begun the not-soquiet campaigning that precedes an official run for office, with visits to mosques and churches, complete with photo ops. He also established an official national “foundation” for democratic reform in the country. At least 90 activists were beaten and jailed last week at a protest organized by the “6th of April Movement” linked to El Baradei. The protest called for constitutional reform to ensure transparent elections, and demanded the lifting of the emergency laws that have allowed Mubarak to rule as a military dictator. The laws were enacted after the assassination of his predecessor, Anwar Sadat, who signed Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

Saved by Keeping Sabbath: Interview With Poland’s Chief Rabbi BY ELI STUTZ Tovia Singer: Last Saturday you were spared being on a flight to a memorial commemorating the massacre of Poles by the Soviets. You were invited to join the President of Poland to attend that memorial, but because the flight was on Shabbat, you were not on it when it crashed. When you heard about the crash, what went through your mind? Rabbi Schudrich: I knew the president well, and his wife, Maria, and had about another fifteen or so other friends on the flight. My first thought was disbelief and shock. A little bit later, it sunk in that I could have been on that flight. It’s very hard to describe the feeling of a person who realizes they could have been on a flight that crashed. On the one hand, I felt tremendous sorrow for the loss of my friends. On the other hand, there is a sense of tremendous relief and gratitude. The president always made a point of inviting me to accompany him to places of massacre during the [Second World] War, as part of the clergy of the people of Poland; especially to Katyn, where about ten percent of the soldiers murdered were Jewish. This is a fact that has been remembered and emphasized by Presidents and Prime Ministers of Poland over the last 15 years. The last time I was there with the president, I remember that he insisted that we had to fly together. One of the soldiers who was killed in Katyn was the chief rabbi of the Polish armed forces, Rabbi Baruch Sternberg. Kaczynski made a point of finding his plaque together with me. He

said it was a Polish obligation to remember how Jews fought and died for Poland. Tovia Singer: President Kaczynski was a conservative Catholic. Yet he had a legacy of someone who wanted to repair wounds with the Jewish community. What was the driving force behind President Kaczynski’s good relationship with the Jewish community? Rabbi Schudrich: In many ways it was from his mother. His mother, who is now very ill, always taught her sons that Jews were always part of Poland. She had a lot of Jewish friends before and even after the war. Somebody told me that President Kaczynski’s godmother was Jewish, which was very unusual at the time, and that must have had a huge impact on him as well. While in general, people think that being farther to the right makes people more xenophobic and antisemitic, in his case, it was the opposite. He was a devout “John Paul the Second Catholic.” The late Polish Pope, in his 27 year papacy, did more to fight antisemtism than anyone else in 2000 years. He was the first pope to state clearly that antisemtism is a sin. Part of Kaczynski’s patriotism and part of his Catholicism was due to John Paul the Second’s influence. Tovia Singer: Poland, to many Jews, is one big Jewish cemetery. Yitzchak Shamir referred to the Poles as very antisemitic. You personally have been attacked in Poland. Many people would say to you, “Rabbi, what are you doing in Poland, building Jewish life? Poland is the past.” What do you say to them?

Rabbi Michael Schudrich with the late Polish President Lech Kaczynski at last years Chanuka celebration in the presidential palace. Rabbi Schudrich: Before World War Two, there were 3.5 million Jews in Poland. By the end of 1944, over 90% of those Jews had been murdered in the Holocaust, still leaving approximately 350,000 Jews alive. After the war, Poland was immediately occupied by Soviet Communists. Many Jews realized that to feel safe when saying the statement, “I am a Jew”, they would have to leave Sovietoccupied Poland. So most Jews left. But some remained, many of whom gave up their Jewish identity. But since the fall of Communism, thousands and thousands of Poles have discovered that they really have Jewish roots. Tovia Singer: There must be thousands of Poles who think they are Catholic, but are actually Jewish. Are you involved in trying to find the hidden Jews of Poland? Rabbi Schudrich: That’s what I’m doing here. I’m here because of them. I’m here to give them the chance to come back to the Jewish people. I’m here to give them a chance to learn about Yiddishkeit. There was one man, a little older than myself, who was invited to a memorial organized by the Israeli embassy for a Polish woman who saved two Jewish women during the war. He was told by a representative of the embassy that his mother was saved by this woman. He then understood that he himself was Jewish. That was nine months ago. A few months ago, he had his circumcision, and now he is a proud and active member of one of our Jewish communities. One woman in her mid-forties told me that her grandmother used to make these strange pancakes, and then she met some Israelis a few years ago and understood that what her grandmother made was matzah. The woman said, “When little children used to misbehave, Grandma would say this strange word, ‘Meshigeh’ [‘crazy person’ in Yiddish - ed.] – do you know what that means? Grandma liked to play cards, and whenever she would get a bad hand, she would say, ‘Oy vey’ – do you know what that means? When we had meat (and we never really had pork in the house), she would never let us have milk afterwards.” So, did she know she was Jewish? Didn’t she know she was Jewish? What her

pushed her to see me, was that her son said, “We’re Jewish. I want to be Jewish.” He was at our Friday night Shabbat dinner last week. And now, their 15-year-old wants to go to a Jewish summer camp. Other grandchildren of “hidden” Jews I have met are slowly becoming part of the community, coming to our lectures, and learning about what it means to be Jewish. These are just two of many stories. That’s what I’m doing here. Tovia Singer: You’ve held pulpits in very unusual places, such as Japan and now Poland. Japan saved thousands of Jews, including the Mir Yeshiva, during World War Two, which was strange given their relations with Germany. Why did the Japanese save Jews during World War Two? Rabbi Schudrich: One possibility is that once you come into their country, they feel responsible for you. Another theory is that the Japanese bought into the protocols of the Elders of Zion, but they came to a type of belief that, “if the Jews control the world, then it makes sense to do something good for them, and they’ll do something good for us”. A third idea, which is the most difficult to prove, is that it was simply the will of G-d. Tovia Singer: Are you optimistic that the future leaders of Poland will be as friendly to Israel and Jews as Lech Kaczynski was? Rabbi Schudrich: I have no concerns. There is no question that both the left of center and right of center parties here are very pro-Israel. There is one far right wing party called the League of Polish Families, that is antisemitic, but they are now out of parliament. The acting president (and leading candidate for president for some time), Bronislaw Komorovsky, told a story about Jews who tried to save a Pole. His uncle, who lived in Vilna, was a Polish Catholic who fought the Nazis, and he was imprisoned by Nazis. Some of his Jewish friends, from within the ghetto, sent out money and tried to bribe the Nazis to save him from prison. They failed, and he was killed. But Komorovsky will always remember that there were also Jews who saved Poles.

The 2,000-member Jewish community of Kyrgyzstan suddenly lives in fear following an attack on its only synagogue after rebels last week apparently overthrew the government in a bloody uprising in which more than 80 people were killed. he Chabad-Lubavitch synagogue in Bishkek was firebombed, and the local Jewish school temporarily shut its doors as a precaution. “We ask that everyone keep the people of Kyrgyzstan in their prayers,” said Chabad Rabbi Aryeh Reichman. “While we remain cautious, with the help of G-d, peace will soon be restored and life will return to normal.” He told Israel National News in a telephone interview that at least three firebombs exploded at the synagogue but did not cause any interior damage. Rabbi Reichman added that Jewish leaders have protested to the interim government and asked for protection against further anti-Semitic incidents. He added the rebels have taken up office in a parliament building that survived heavy damage in the uprising. The Jewish community in the country has almost never experienced anti-Semitism before the rebellion last week. (Pictured at left is a Bar Mitzvah ceremony of a Bishkek Jewish boy at the Chabad synagogue.) Several political observers have linked the attack with rebels’ anger at an American Jewish businessman, who is closely tied with

the government of Kurmanbek Bakiyev and his son Maxim but who has no strong ties with the local Jewish community. Posters scattered throughout Bishkek proclaimed, “Dirty Jews and all those like Maxim Bakiyev have no place in Kyrgyzstan.” Bakiyev has fled the capital and technically is in power but said he might resign if his safety were guaranteed. The violence began after a large protest against the election victory of Bakiyev, who has been accused of corruption. Kyrgyzstan’s tiny Jewish population mostly lives in the capital of Bishkek and largely comprises descendants of Eastern European and Bukharan Jews who relocated during the Second World War and Soviet Regime. Many of them are welfare recipients, and the Jewish Agency is actively processing applications for those wanting to move to Israel. Rabbi Reichman, who has served in Bishkek since 2002 and lives with his wife and four children, remains optimistic and says there is no “direct danger” to the Jewish community. He said that 300 Jews participated in the recent Chabad community Passover Seder and that Jewish awareness is growing. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told a Washington think tank Tuesday that Kyrgyzstan “is on the brink of civil war” and could become a “second Afghanistan.” A key American air base in the war against Afghani terrorists is located in Kyrgyzstan.

Greece Opening Door to Try Eichmann Aide Who May Be in Syria BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU Greece is set to repeal a law and open the way to try to extradite Alois Brunner, Eichmann’s aide who was last seen alive in Syria in the 1990s, according to the country’s Katherimini web site. Several unconfirmed reports said he died in the late 1990s. n 1959, Greece surrendered the right to prosecute Nazis, but an amendment to the legislation is expected to be submitted to Parliament this week. Assuming the law will be changed, the Jewish community will press off icials to extradite Brunner, whose current fate is unknown. If alive, he would be nearly 98 years old. Brunner was responsible for sending 50,000 Jews from Thessalonica to their deaths. Changing the legislation would be a “moral victory” inasmuch as most Nazi war criminals have died, David Saltiel, the chairman of the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece told Katherimini. Brunner was born in Austria in 1912, joined the Nazi party in 1931 and quickly rose in the ranks to become the private secretary of the notorious Adolf Eichmann. Brunner organized the persecution of Jews and sent nearly 50,000 Austrian Jews to concentration camps. He later organized the deportation of Greek Jews. After being transferred to France, he

A Jewish community organization is campaigning to overturn the decision by Britain’s advertising watchdog to invalidate the use of a picture of the Kotel, with the Dome of the Rock in the background, for an Israeli tourism advertisement. he UK’s Zionist Federation (ZF) is calling for a review of last week’s decision by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) saying that there is not “the slightest risk” that the people would be misled by the inclusion of photos. In its ruling, the ASA said last week: “We understood, however, that the status of the occupied territory of the West Bank was the subject of much international dispute, and because we considered that the ad implied that the part of east Jerusalem featured in the image was part of the State of Israel, we concluded that the ad was likely to mislead.” “This adjudication is grossly disproportionate since there is not the slightest risk that the British public would be misled by the inclusion of photos of the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock into thinking that East Jerusalem was not disputed territory,” the ZF said, in a mailing that called on people to back the campaign. “There is no other way for tourists to

Nazi war criminal, Alois Brunner sent approximately 25,000 Jews, including women and children, to the Auschwitz death camp. Despite his being one of the worst Nazi war criminals, he found work after World War II as a private agent for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which paid him millions of dollars for his services. Brunner told an interviewer in 1987 that his one regret was that he did not murder more Jews. “The Jews deserved to die. I have no regrets. If I had the chance I would do it again,” he stated.

see these sights other than through Israel. Indeed Israel took responsibility to support the religious sites of all denominations, a commitment which formed part of the obligations of an agreement with the Palestinian Authority signed in 1995. East Jerusalem was annexed by Israel over 40 years ago. Legally, from Israel’s point of view, it is one city with no difference between East and West,” said the ZF. The ZF said that according to ASA rules, the decision can be reviewed if requested by the advertiser – which in this case is the Israeli Government Tourist Office. “We note that this ASA adjudication can be reviewed by the independent reviewer, Sir Hayden Phillips, at the request of the advertiser and that he can call for a review if there is “a substantial flaw of process or adjudication...or where additional relevant evidence becomes available. We hope that there is such a review and that this results in the ASA Council changing its ruling,” the ZF said. Appealing to people to write to the ASA, the ZF said: “We encourage you to write to the ASA as we have done asking them to ensure a review is carried out regarding their ruling about an advert for tourism in Israel.”

Goldstone Will Not Attend Grandson’s Bar Mitzvah The South African Zionist Federation over the weekend denied reports that former Constitutional Court judge Richard Goldstone, who chaired a UN report accusing Israel of war crimes in Gaza, was told not to attend his grandson’s bar mitzva in Johannesburg next month, according to a report in South African daily The Star. ontrary to distorted media reports and false blog accusations, the SAZF states unequivocally that at no time was there any suggestion raised by any party that judge Goldstone should be ‘barred’ or ‘banned’ from entering the synagogue,” SAZF chairman Avrom Krengel was quoted by the paper as saying. “The SAZF wishes to clarify that discussions were held with the Sandton Synagogue regarding the forthcoming bar mitzva of the grandson of judge Richard Goldstone, and agreement was reached between the parties that no comments would be made until after the celebration.”

On Thursday, before the SAZF denied the report, US Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-New York) sent the federation a letter chastising the community for the supposed move. Though Ackerman himself is an outspoken critic of Goldstone’s role in the report, he said such opposition should not be carried into the synagogue. Goldstone himself said last week that he would not attend so as not to hurt his grandson’s celebration, since he anticipated that his attendance would draw protesters who would interrupt the ritual. “In the interests of my grandson, I’ve decided not to attend the ceremony at the synagogue,” he said. In a scathing report commissioned by the UN’s Human Rights Council, Goldstone accused both the IDF and Hamas of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity. The commission he headed recommended that the sides investigate their own conduct and, failing this, the allegations be brought to the International Criminal Court.

Suspect Arrested in California Synagogue Shooting Police have arrested a suspect in the shooting of two worshipers at a southern California synagogue. hristopher Littlejohn, 37, was taken into custody April 15 in connection with the early-morning shooting last October in the underground garage of the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Synagogue in North Hollywood. A lone gunman shot Maor BenNissan and Allen Lasry in the knees as they arrived for the early minyan. Littlejohn, of Northridge, Calif., had been arrested last July for pointing a gun at a person in Beverly Hills. He is being held in lieu of $2 million bond in the synagogue shooting. Police quickly ruled out that the shooting was a hate crime, as the Jewish community initially feared, or terrorism as a motive. In the months afterward, police hinted that the knee-capping may have been the work of a local Israeli crime ring following an interview in The Jerusalem Post with Deputy Chief Michael Downing of the Los Angeles Police Department. “The shooting resembled a targeted surgical strike,” he was quoted as saying by the Post, adding that “the two men were targeted as part of a stern warning linked to a criminal organization.” Downing later qualif ied the statement; however, saying that he had been quoted out of context and had no evidence that organized crime was involved in the shooting. Organized crime by Israelis in such

Hannah Rosenthal, the State Department’s special envoy to combat and monitor anti-Semitism, favored “positive talk” as a means of combating the hate, while some Jewish groups said using legal means to remove the incitement was the better way to go. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) asked Rosenthal about how to combat the reappearance of the blood libel — the falsehood that Jews use gentile blood to make matzah — popping up in the Middle East through television and the Internet.

Neo-Nazis, CounterProtesters Face Off in LA A white supremacist group rallied against illegal immigration in downtown Los Angeles Saturday as hundreds of counter-protesters gathered to shout them down in a tense standoff that included several arrests, thrown rocks and police in riot gear. olice officers stood between the white supremacists and counter-demonstrators on the south lawn of Los Angeles’ City Hall, where about 50 members of the National Socialist Movement waved American flags and swastika banners for about an hour. Five people, all of them counter-protesters, were arrested for throwing items, police said. The white supremacists, many of them wearing flack helmets and black military fatigue uniforms, shouted “Sieg Heil” before each of their speakers took the podium to taunt counter-protesters with racial, antiSemitic and misogynistic epithets. “We will meet you head on,” one of the white supremacists, whose name could not be made out over the fuzzy public address system, warned the crowd from behind several phalanxes of police in riot gear. Members of the Detroit-based group said they picked the location for their rally because of Los Angeles’ large immigrant population. They accused some of the immigrants of stealing jobs and committing crimes. Group members also said they were reacting to the recent number of street

In interviews with JTA, Downing and Capt. Greg Hall, who heads the LAPD Major Crimes Division, said that such activities seem to be on the increase, though it is diff icult to gauge their full extent. “Israeli criminals in this city are very sophisticated,” Hall said. “We have to ask ourselves what else is going on that we don’t know about.” Downing said that his bureau was working closely with the local Jewish community and Israeli police to identify and contain local Israeli criminal elements. Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Synagogue has a membership of some 150 families, primarily North African Jews, with a sprinkling of Latino, American and Israeli Jews.

“The answer to bad and hateful speech is good speech,” Rosenthal replied. “There are examples where there is incitement to violence and we raise it with the television stations and with the NGOs on the ground.” Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said that rather than countering hate speech with positive speech, companies should enforce their policies on hate speech. “We all click a gray button that says ‘I agree.’ Have you ever taken the time to read what you are agreeing to?” Cooper asked. “It’s a contract and it does not allow for hate speech.” Working with companies to remove sites that violate the terms of agreement has been successful, he said, noting a positive relationship with Facebook, which has 400 million users.

WAR ON TERROR Two Iraq Al Qaeda Leaders Killed: Did They Really Get Abu Omar al-Baghdadi? US and Iraqi officials say DNA evidence proves they killed Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the key link between Al Qaeda internationally and its offshoot in Iraq, and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the senior Iraqi member of the group. But one analyst is skeptical. he death of a top Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) leader could sever a link between Al Qaeda headquarters and its Iraqi offshoot but the identity of a second figure previously announced to have been killed appears far from clear. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Monday announced that Iraqi and US forces had killed Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri, an Egyptian believed to have ties to Al Qaeda leadership, in a rocket attack on their safe house in northern Iraq on Sunday. At the time of the killing of Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in 2006, US off icials said he had been replaced by Mr. Masri, who they said had fought and trained with the group in Afghanistan prior to the US invasion of Iraq. Al-Baghdadi, the leader of the selfdeclared Islamic State of Iraq, is believed to be a pseudonym for Hamid Dawud Muhammad Khalil al Zawi, an Iraqi ex-Army off icer who is said to have come from a number of different places, including Haditha in western Anbar province. “Al-Bagdhadi” means “from Baghdad.” Iraqi authorities announced last year they had killed Baghdadi, a claim never verif ied by the US military, which has said in the past that the person attributed to the name might be f ictitious – a composite f igure to put an Iraqi face on Al Qaeda’s operations in Iraq. Prime Minister Maliki said today that insurgents had attributed the name to various f ighters over the years to sow confusion among US and Iraqi forces, but that the man killed today was the “original” Baghdadi. “Al Baghdadi was initially assessed to be a f ictional character, however,

He said Baghdadi was the senior Iraqi member of AQI and acted as an emissary for Masri and had support from senior Al Qaeda leaders in Pakistan. The military did not address how it knew that al-Zawi was alBaghdadi. Lanza wrote that Iraqi and US forces determined that two of the four people killed in the attack were Masri and Zawi through DNA testing, photo identif ication, f inger print verif ication, and known scars. Though it appeared clear that one of the dead was Zawi, there was doubt among some counterterrorism analysts as to whether that man actually was Baghdadi or even whether such a person exists. Not Baghdadi? “I think it’s good news if alBaghdadi turns out to be a single individual but it wouldn’t surprise me if

AQI/ISI comes out and says Baghdadi lives on,” said Brian Fishman, a counterterrorism research fellow at the New America Foundation, a Washington think tank. “This guy has never been seen in public claiming ‘I’m Abu Omar al-Baghdadi.’ It’s always been claimed by the outside,” he said in a telephone interview. Maliki during his address on state television displayed photographs of the two men, both dead and alive and included one of Baghdadi in US detention. He did not say when Baghdadi was detained and a US military spokesman said they had no information on the matter. Mr. Fishman, who previously researched insurgent groups at West Point’s Center for Combating Terrorism, said that while DNA evidence seemed plausible for Masri, it was less likely that DNA testing could def initively identify Baghdadi who emerged on jihadist websites linked to Zawi only about a year ago. “Abu Ayub al-Masri’s face has been out there for a while – he’s been on the run for years now and he’d been an

He said his skepticism that Zawi was the emir of the Islamic State of Iraq was based on a history of using pseudonyms to refer to entire units of the organization rather than single individuals. Fishman said he believed that the killing of the two would shake up an Al Qaeda in Iraq that was badly damaged three years ago but appeared to be gaining conf idence since the middle of last year. “AQI were destroyed in 2007 they were really deflated but in the last six to nine months they’ve gotten a little more aggressive and shown increased conf idence in their ability to operate again,” he said. “Maybe it affects the link to AQ central although you’ve got to think they’ve built in a more durable system than that - the most distinct thing is that it just throws into doubt what people think within the jihadi network – who can they trust and it forces them to question that. In any covert network that’s a dangerous thing.” Al-Masri had been active since the early days of the insurgency. “Presumably al-Masri was the main connection between Al Qaeda in Iraq and Al Qaeda central and it will be interesting to see whether they can maintain these ties without him,” said Fishman.

Iranian Missiles May Reach US By 2015 Iran may develop missiles capable of reaching the US by 2015, a report delivered to Congress Monday night asserts. ith sufficient foreign assistance, Iran could probably develop and test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the United States by 2015,” the report by the US Department of Defense states. It adds that “Iran’s nuclear program and its willingness to keep open the possibility to develop nuclear weapons is a central part of its deterrent strategy.” The report indicates that while Iran has a sizeable conventional military force, it would be no match for a “well trained, sophisticated military such as that of the United States or its allies” in the event of armed conflict. The report also notes Iran’s duplicitous behavior in Iraq and Afghanistan, where it pledges to promote stability but all the while continues to support insurgents and terrorist groups inside both countries. On Sunday, US Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that an American strike on Iran would go “a long way” to delay the country’s nuclear program. The Telegraph reported that

In the interview with the Financial Times, Clinton called for sanctions “as soon as feasible”. She said, the alternative is to permit them to continue pursuing nuclear weapons, either actual production or full capacity, which will trigger an arms race among their neighbours and would put one of the most volatile regions in the world at risk and could even trigger a conflict. And I don’t believe that is a chance worth taking”. ________________________________

John McCain told Fox News: “I didn’t need a secret memo to know we didn’t have a coherent policy. That’s pretty obvious.” ________________________________ With Tehran refusing to budge from its production of 20% enriched uranium, which it insists is solely to generate civilian nuclear power, efforts have been building within Washington to devise a road-map for action – including military options – should Iran get closer to nuclear capability. At a Senate hearing last week, Pentagon off icials said Iran could have suff icient bomb-grade fuel – normally about 90% enriched uranium – for one nuclear weapon within a year, although it might take up to f ive years actually to create a bomb. Iran has also stepped up the rhetoric. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today boasted about the country’s army. “Today, our armed forces have so much power that no enemy will harbor evil thoughts about laying its hands on Iranian territory,” he said at an annual

army parade. On Saturday, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sought to turn US pressure over the nuclear issue back on Washington. At a conference in Tehran on nuclear disarmament, he told delegates drawn from countries that included China, Russia, France and Turkey, that the real villains were the US and Israel, both nuclear powers. He accused the US, which he called the “sole nuclear offender”, a reference to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of pursuing a deceptive policy “which falsely claims to be advocating the non-proliferation of nuclear arms while doing nothing substantive for this cause”. According to the New York Times, Gates’s memo reflects fears in the military that the White House has not yet prepared a set of action plans should sanctions and diplomatic efforts fail. The White House issued a swift denial of any suggestion it was insuff iciently ready. “This administration has been planning for all contingencies regarding Iran for many months,” a White House off icial told Associated Press. The Republicans leapt on the report to ridicule the Obama Administration’s handling of the dispute. John McCain, the 2008 Presidential Candidate, told Fox News: “I didn’t need a secret memo to know we didn’t have a coherent policy. That’s pretty obvious.” The Obama administration is having to walk a tightrope in its diplomatic efforts. On the one hand, it is dealing with China and Russia, both wary of stepping up sanctions on Tehran; on the other, it is mindful of the threat that Israel may attempt to bomb Iranian nuclear installations should the Israel government conclude that pressure alone is not working.

Mullen, speaking at a forum in Columbia University, said a military strike was the “last option” but plans for such a contingency had been made.

New “Jews for Sarah Palin“ Group Roils U.S. Jewry’s Political Waters A group of Jewish activists and academics will mark the State of Israel’s Independence Day on Sunday with a declaration of political independence of their own, by launching a grassroots movement of Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin.” resident Barack Obama’s growing rift with Israel is sparking powerful emotions in the American Jewish community, and could have an electoral impact both this year and in 2012. Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin hopes to accelerate that trend. “We have long admired Gov. Palin for her thoughtful positions on a range of issues, such as fiscal responsibility, health care, energy independence and against Islamic terrorism, not to mention her wonderful charisma and her role model as a highly successful working mom,” said Benyamin Korn, the group’s founder and its website’s editor, in an interview with WorldNetDaily. “But the ugly fight that Obama has picked with Israel is stirring American Jews to action,” Korn said, “and Gov. Palin has emerged, by far, as the President’s most effective public critic.” “This is especially true because Obama had campaigned in 2008 as a great friend of the Jewish State,” Korn said. The web site, JewsForSarah.com, A Home Page for Jewish Independents, describes Korn, with tonguein-cheek, as a “Jewish community organizer.” He is a veteran editor of Jewish newpapers in Miami and Philadelphia. He also served as national executive director of the Zionist Organization of America. The group has issued a statement titled,

“A Declaration of Jewish Independence, by Jewish independents,” which is posted on their web site. “It’s really a call for Jews to become independent of this horrible administration,” Korn said The statement proposes that in view of “the Obama administration’s tilt against Israel, its tacit acceptance of a nuclear-armed Iran, and its weak approach to combating Islamic terrorism,” the time has come for American Jews to “declare independence from President Barack Obama.” Korn emphasizes that JewsForSarah.com is not connected to Gov. Palin, nor is it specifically endorsing her for any political office. The group’s mission statement says it is “dedicated to promoting consideration of Gov. Sarah Palin’s political positions in the wider American Jewish community.” Ms. Palin’s domestic and foreign policy positions are “serious, substantive and politically mainstream,” the statement says. “Gov. Palin’s ongoing contribution to the public discourse in America is welcome.” The advisory board of “Jews for Sarah Palin” includes Prof. Nathan Katz, a scholar of Hindu-Jewish relations at Florida International University, and Prof. Nahum Duker, professor of pathology at Temple University, and prominent Philadelphia physician Dr. Steven Allon. Korn compares Governor Palin to Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister and Ronald Reagan, former President. “Thatcher and Reagan were initially dismissed, even by some of their fellow-conservatives, as amateurs and simpletons,” Korn told WorldNetDaily. “They proved their detractors wrong, by leading the Free World to

non-violent victory over the Soviet Union and restoring the economic health of their respective countries. Sarah Palin, too, is badly underestimated by the pundits. She is already one of America’s most thoughtful and exciting political figures.” In a recent article, legendary Commentary magazine editor Norman Podhoretz endorsed Palin, and recounted that he had endured considerable derision from fellow-conservatives for his early support for Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign. They soon changed their tunes. Podhoretz, in his article last month, became one of the first prominent Jewish intellectuals to praise Gov. Palin. “I would rather have the Tea Party running the country than the Democratic Party, and would rather see Sarah Palin sitting in the Oval Office than Barack Obama,” he wrote. Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, another prominent Jewish conservative, has also given positive coverage to Palin. President Obama’s intense pressure on Israel is provoking protests from several prominent Jewish liberals and centrists. Former New York City mayor Ed Koch wrote that Obama’s Mideast policy has “a foul whiff of Munich and appeasement.” On Thursday, the president of the World Jewish Congress, former U.S. ambassador Ronald Lauder, published full-page “open letters” in the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal to protest Obama’s Israel policy. Lauder suggested that Obama is trying to force Israel back to the “indefensible” borders prior to the 1967 war. Within those borders, Israel was about nine miles wide at its midsection. Another prominent Jewish leader,

Teaparty demonstrators protesting against the Obama Government. Abraham Foxman of the AntiDefamation League, said in a speech in New Jersey earlier this month that the new U.S. policy toward Israel could prompt Jews to organize a “march on Washington” to protest. Korn points out that in contrast to President Obama’s “disgraceful treatment“ of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Gov. Palin has exhibited “heartfelt and unflinching support for AmericaIsrael friendship.” This “reflects the true spirit of the American people, among whom I love and respect for the Jewish State has never faltered,” Korn said. Korn himself is a product of the Jewish liberal world. An alumnus of a Quaker school and one-time left-wing campus activist, earned an M.A. in International Relations from Nehru University in New Delhi, India and at one time taught PanAfrican studies at Temple University.

Ten Tips For Adding Value To Your Home Get the most out of your home’s next remodeling project by following advice from the pros particular attention to roof lines, trim details and window sizes and styles.

4. Meet expectations. What buyers want varies from area to area and from one price range to the next. Do some comparison shopping to see what your competition will be like should you decide to sell. And talk to a real-estate agent who knows your neighborhood.

5. Consider the neighbors.

1. Good plans equal great results Successful remodeling projects require careful planning and a realistic budget. “Many people want to build it cheap and fast,” says builder David Lisenby, certified graduate remodeler, of Lisenby Construction. “They want an estimate before they even have a plan.” A solid strategy will ensure that the homeowner and the builder are on the same page, saving both parties time and money.

2. Quality counts. Potential homebuyers have more sophisticated tastes than ever. That’s why spending a little extra on good design, quality materials and careful craftsmanship can garner big rewards when it comes time to sell.

3. Insist on coherent design. A good remodel or addition should complement the original structure. Pay

The value of nearby houses affects the value of your home. Remodeling or adding on to a house that’s smaller than surrounding homes will yield a greater value than adding on to a house that’s already one of the largest on the street. A general rule of thumb: Don’t overbuild for the neighborhood.

6. Get permission. Before starting any type of remodel, make sure the design conforms to all local building restrictions. Some neighborhoods also have their own stipulations and design review processes.

Double-check that necessary building permits have been acquired before construction begins.

7. Build up to code. Plumbing, electrical and building codes help ensure safety. Licensed contractors should perform work that meets all codes.

8. Exercise patience. If you can, wait for the right time to sell. “In a strong market, the value will catch up with the cost.”

9. Know the market. Some types of remodeling projects can return more than average and speed up resale.

10. Experience matters. Substandard work on your remodel is a buyer turnoff. “You don’t want someone learning on your project.“

Kotel Dreaming in Ra’anana Jill and Norman Smith decided that if they were coming to live part of their life here, their home should look like Israel. So they built their very own “Western Wall,” as they call it, which is the first thing that strikes the eye on entering their sunny Ra’anana penthouse. wanted a focus wall and considered doing the entrance in maroon red,” confides Jill. “My husband said he thought it was a fabulous idea, but he amended it so that it would evoke the Kotel. We got all the stones from Hebron and the wall was built without grouting so that the cracks are visible.” While none of their visitors has ever left a note, the wall is a striking feature which blends in well with the overall concept of warm but uncluttered living space. The Smiths spend all their vacations here and one of their three daughters lives here permanently. “I really wanted clean lines because my house in the States is full of things and this is like a haven for me,” says Jill. “I have all the comforts and I don’t think it looks especially minimalistic, but I’m sticking to my decision to have nothing on the walls - it’s peaceful.” The Smiths acquired the apartment in the early stages of building, when it was still possible to change the layout of inner walls. They called in designer Selwyn Elkin to rethink the setup the builder had planned and together made some radical changes. The snowy white open kitchen was meant to be closed off as a study/family room with a toilet attached; they turned it into a laundry/pantry. The problem of another guest toilet was solved by putting it into what was

“I

meant to be an under stairs closet. “The builder at first said no, but I insisted,” explains Jill. The closet toilet is exceptionally attractive with a bronze basin and faucets brought over from the States and wall tiles which look like bamboo. Elkin explains that no builder likes to move toilets, even in a renovation, once the piping is in place. He also emphasizes that builders often want to finish in a hurry to get the final payment and the workmanship is often shoddy. “Once they took possession a lot of things had to be redone at their own expense,” he says. “Buyers make this mistake by not insisting on the workmanship being to their complete satisfaction when finished and this should be written into the contract.” The kitchen accommodates a wine refrigerator and a water dispensing machine, the latter brought over from the States, which proved a minor problem because Elkin wouldn’t allow it to stand on the countertops. “We solved it by removing a lower cabinet and installing the water machine in its place, and the carpenter made tiny narrow doors especially for it,” says Jill. The walls are painted in a rich cream color which blends with the floor of marble look-alike, which is actually granite porcelain and is cheap, hard-wearing and low maintenance. Tall white bucket chairs around the counter, which is decorated with a David Gerstein basket, complete the picture. Because the living-room suite is dark leather, they decided that the dining room must be light, and Jill settled for a glasstopped table which seems to disappear, creating the light effect they wanted. The three-

and-a-half-meter sideboard is built to give the illusion of floating, and the long mirror above it was Jill’s idea to open up the room even more. “It doubles the size of the room even if we don’t need it, and at night with the lighting behind, it creates a lovely ambience,” explains Elkin. The granite tops of the wood cupboards and the bar tucked into a corner are colored dark chocolate granite, veined in beige to match the floor. The elegant lounge is centered around a glass-fronted fireplace with shelving built all around it to display treasures and contain discreet speakers. Not a single wire protrudes. Concealed lighting is built into the boxes, which also hide all the workings of the blinds. The finish is superb. From the living room, access to the all round balconies is through glass sliding doors and the patio is brightly furnished with striped cushions and a mosaic-topped table. Out here, with a view of Netanya in the distance, the family holds barbecues, has parties and just hangs out enjoying the air

high above Ra’anana. “We can’t actually see the sea,” says Jill, “but as compensation we have the most incredible sunsets.” The master bedroom is up a flight of stairs and shares the same view. The upper floor is surrounded by a stone-floored garden with plants flourishing in pots all around. While the main bedroom is done in Elkin’s signature chocolate and white scheme with a tile which looks exactly like parquet, the other bedrooms display brighter colors with linen brought over from the States. The bathrooms are mainly white with niches for rolled-up towels, handle-less drawers and carefully chosen accessories. One has a sit-down shower tiled in pink mosaic with a rain-head shower attached. Every comfort has been taken into consideration. Eventually the Smiths hope to come and live here permanently and when they do decide, they will be able to step into the perfect home already finished and waiting for them.

Remodeling a Home Built Before 1978 Requires a Certified Lead Contractor

BY PHOEBE CHONGCHUA Getting the lead out of your home may be tough to do, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). We’ve known for a long while now that lead paint is hazardous to our health. Lead paint can be very dangerous to children if they inhale or ingest it. It can cause damage to their brains and nervous systems. However, removing it may be difficult. he NAHB says that a shortage of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accredited trainers may stall some remodeling projects in homes where lead is present. A new regulation by the U.S. EPA goes into effect this month (April 22, 2010) that requires all contractors working in homes built before lead paint was banned in 1978 to be trained and certified under the Lead Paint: Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (LRRP). “We’ve gotten the word out to our members and they understand the new requirements and are working hard to get certif ied by the deadline,” said Donna Shirey, CGR, CAPS, CGP, president of Shirey Contracting in Issaquah, Wash., and 2010 chair of NAHB Remodelers in a recent press statement. The NAHB is doing its part to ensure that remodelers are ready, but it still might not be enough to meet the remodeling industry’s needs. “Our local home building associations are offering certif ication classes to their members, but EPA hasn’t approved enough trainers to enable our members and other contractors to be certif ied on time, and that’s going to put remodelers and their customers in quite a bind.” The purpose of the regulation is to reduce the potential exposure to lead paint that may occur when a home that was built before 1978 is remodeled. The regulation isn’t limited to just remodelers. Other contractors who must become certif ied include carpenters, plumbers, heating and air conditioning workers, and window installers. The NAHB is sending out a word of caution, since the EPA has approved only 135 training providers and certif ied about 14,000 renovators in lead-safe work practices. However, according to NAHB, the EPA’s own estimates indicated that more than

200,000 contractors must be trained and certif ied. NAHB writes in a press statement that the shortage of trainers can cause big problems for homeowners. “This will severely limit the number of remodelers able to work in older homes and will open the door to more fly-by-night contractors who will skip the training, skirt the law and put home owners at risk.” “EPA must extend the deadline so that consumers can f ind trained and certif ied remodelers for their projects. I talked to a group of our West Virginia members who had to travel all the way to Atlanta to take the training sessions because there are no trainers in their own state,” Shirey said. The new regulation issued in 2008 is rapidly approaching the certif ication deadline for contractors. The regulation requires contractors to take an eighthour training course which includes a PowerPoint presentation, hands-on training, and a 25-question quiz. The training is designed to show workers how to handle and contain hazardous lead-based debris. If lead-based debris/dust gets into the air and is breathed in or ingested, it can cause severe health issues. According to the EPA, lead is more dangerous to children and can negatively impact their brains and nervous systems (which are more sensitive than adults). Also, children tend to absorb lead more easily because they frequently put their hands in their mouths. Adults exposed to lead paint risk suffering from reproductive issues, nerve disorders, concentration problems, high blood pressure, joint pain, and more. The EPA recommends that homeowners of homes built before 1978 have their homes inspected for any leadbased paint issues. Typically, lead-based paint that is not chipping and is in good condition is not hazardous to your health.

Another Week Another Recall: Toyota Recalls 600,000 Sienna Minivans As congressional investigators dig further into potential electronic problems in runaway Toyotas, the automaker is facing other safety concerns, recalling 600,000 Sienna minivans over rusting spare tire holders. he recall Friday came as House investigators said they would hold another hearing in May to review possible electronic problems in runaway Toyotas. The Japanese automaker has recalled more than 8 million vehicles because of faulty accelerator pedals, humbling a car company long known for its quality and safety. Company leaders vowed to respond quickly to the safety concerns. Separately, Toyota said its engineers in Japan had duplicated the same results of tests that led Consumer Reports to issue a rare “don’t buy” warning on the 2010 Lexus GX 460 over rollover concerns. Toyota responded by halting sales of new GX 460s and conducting tests on all of its SUVs. Lexus spokesman Bill Kwong said the company was evaluating potential remedies for the GX 460 but it was “too early to speculate (on) the details of the remedy and its timing.” Toyota said its latest recall covered the

Founder Of Oracle Ranked World’s Richest Jew, Bloomberg Second

APRIL 23, 2010

Goldman Sachs Slapped With Fraud Charge CARL GUTIERREZ, SEC announces civil complaint related to the creation and sale of mortgage securities. oldman Sachs misstated and left out key facts of a subprime-related security, according to the Securities and Exchange Committee, and the news sent the financial sector crashing in midday trading Friday. The SEC filed a civil fraud complaint against Goldman Sachs ( GS - news - people ) and one of its employees Fabrice Tourre, accusing Goldman of failing to disclose vital information to investors regarding a collateralized debt obligation that one of its clients helped create, and then shorted. According to the SEC, Goldman did not disclose the role Paulson & Co., one of the world’s largest hedge funds, played in the portfolio selection process, and the fact that it had taken a short position against the security, a CDO known as ABACUS 2007AC1. Specifically, Goldman’s marketing materials for the CDO all represented that its portfolio was selected by ACA Management, a third party with expertise in analyzing credit risk in residential mortgage-backed securities. Goldman did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The SEC singled out Tourre, a Goldman Sachs vice president, as principally responsible for the alleged fraud. “Tourre structured the transaction, prepared the marketing materials, and communicated directly with investors,” the SEC said in its release. He also “allegedly knew of Paulson & Co.’s undisclosed short interest and role in collateral selection process.” Furthermore, the SEC said he misled ACA into believing that Paulson & Co. invested approximately $200 million, indicating its interests were closely in line with ACA’s.“In reality, however, their interests were sharply conflicting,” the SEC said.

Lawrence Ellison, the richest Jew in the world. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Businessman Sheldon Adelson, Russian mogul Roman Abramovich and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg rank among the world’s richest Jews, according a new survey published by TheMarker. he financial newspaper published an analysis of the world’s richest Jews, ranking them by sector and industry and based on their standing on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people. Most of the people included on TheMarker’s list have business ties with Israel and are also involved in philanthropy for Jewish causes. Contrary to Forbes’ list, a number of the Jewish billionaires listed have not inherited their fortunes, but rather earned them through entrepreneurial initiatives or political changes, such as the dissolution of the former Soviet Union. So who ranks number one? According to TheMarker, Oracle founder Lawrence Ellison is the richest Jew in the world, with a net worth of $28 billion (Forbes No. 6).

Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg News service, ranks as the richest Jew in the media industry, with a net worth of $18 billion (Forbes No. 23). Isaac Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Comics, ranked second on TheMarker’s list, with a net worth of $1.55 billion (Forbes No. 616). In the technology sector, Ellison came in f irst place again, followed by Facebook’s Zuckerberg, the youngest member of TheMarker’s list, with a net worth of $4 billion (Forbes No. 212). Energy companies and Chelsea football club owner Abramovich led the way in the oil and commodities section, with $11.2 billion (Forbes No. 50), followed by Viktor Vekelsberg, the owner of Renova Group, a large Russian conglomerate (Forbes No. 113). His net worth stands at $6.4 billion. Other categories ranked by TheMarker include real estate, f inance and gambling and tourism, with Australian property developer Harry Triguboff (Forbes No. 316), entrepreneur George Soros (Forbes No. 35) and Adelson (Forbes No. 73), topping those categories, respectively.

30 Hudston St., Goldman Sachs Building The SEC was tightlipped during its conference call, saying little beyond what it already disclosed in the release and offering no information on whether similar investigations are taking place at any other firms. Though it may not affect its business, the charge will only strengthen the broad public cynicism directed at Goldman, and comes as significant financial reform is working its way through Congress. The SEC’s announcement pulled the rug out from under Goldman’s stock value Friday, pulling shares down 14.7%, or $27.11, to $157.16. The rest of the market followed suit, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average sunk 1.1%, or 117.14 points, to 11,027.43 after nursing far slimmer losses earlier Friday. Meanwhile the S&P 500 index fell 1.6%, or 19.53 points, to 1,192.14. The news also sent a shockwave through the financial sector, creating a climate of uncertainty as Wall Street anxiously wonders if any other firms may be subject to federal inquiry.

Celebrating Israel’s Independence The early Zionists attempted to create a different kind of Jew in Israel. A proud Jew living in Israel, who would never again be willing to hear the word Zhid, or any other derogatory term for Jews.

When there is a disaster as in Haiti, Israel is the f irst to step in to offer help and other countries often begrudgingly admit that Israel is the best there is. ______________________________

Jew who wants what’s best for the country, that is willing to sacrifice for the national good, based on the realization that without our state of Israel there is no existence. Israel is such a small country with a population less than the city of NY has much to celebrate and be proud of. In the mere 62 years of its existence it has evolved from a small country that was dependant on outside help for its very existence to being a true world leader in many in many f ields. Taking care of Jews around the world, the nation is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on earth while respecting other religions. It is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian population has grown over the last 50 years and is the only country in the Middle East where Christians, Muslims and Jews are all free to vote. The ”People of the Book,” as Jews are known, publish more books per capita than any other country and has the most independent and free Arabic press in the Middle East. The Jewish importance of education has been manifested in the fact that Israel has the highest number of PhD’s and the highest number of physicians per capita in the world. Along with the ideal of G’milut Chasadim these highly educated people have spread their activities around the world. In Africa Israeli experts have brought irrigation technology that was developed in its universities saving the lives of millions of people that might otherwise have starved. In a time that the world is recognizing that there is an environmental crisis with the deforestation of many of the world’s forests, Israel is the only nation that entered the 21st century with a net gain in its number of trees.

______________________________ Today, as when the State of Israel was f irst declared 62 years ago, there are those that are actively trying to destroy her and its people. Every few years there is a war with the Arab neighboring countries. Israel never wanted to f ight but has always been forced to defend itself. Golda Meir famously said after the Yom Kippur War in 1973, “I can forgive you for killing my children but I can’t forgive you for forcing me to kill yours.” Even when there is no war, Israel’s enemies have tried other ways to destroy the Jewish homeland. There was the economic boycott, the intellectual boycott, the oil boycott. In the UN there have been more resolutions attacking Israel than all other countries combined. Israel has been called racist, an apartheid state, even Nazis The truth about Israel cannot be denied by those that are willing to look. In just 62 years Israel has accomplished more than any other country with so little resources and so many enemies.

A Place Outside Orthodoxy RABBI AVI SHAFRAN As a Jewish teenager, I absorbed a vital truth – arguably the essence of Orthodoxy: The community’s learned elders are the wisest arbiters of what is and is not Jewishly proper. ver the many years since, I have seen that truth vindicated time and again. Had I not learnthat lesson it in my youth, I sometimes reflect, I might have become enamored of the Conservative movement, which declared fealty to halacha while expressing sensitivity to American realities. I could have chosen to see it as the most promising standard-bearer for Jewish observance in America. And I would have been devastated to see its claim to halachic integrity crash and burn. But I trusted the elders. It turned out, they saw more than I did, and predicted precisely what came to be. What brings the thought to mind are reactions to a recent pronouncement of our contemporary elders. When a congregational rabbi tried to create a new institution in Orthodoxy – women serving as rabbis – the Council of Torah Sages felt compelled to declare that any congregation with a woman in a rabbinical role “cannot be considered Orthodox.” There followed an outpouring of umbrage in some circles, some of it blithely dismissive of the respected rabbis’ words (the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance, or JOFA, rejected the rabbinic statement as a “political move”), some of it purporting to take scholarly issue with the sages’ judgment and halachic reasoning. Halachic decision-making, though, isn’t a do-it-yourself project. What might seem to someone of limited experience or insight to be entirely in accordance with the prescribed roles of Jewish men and of women or the laws of modesty might be judged otherwise by someone with a deeper and broader view. And those to whom we are to look for judgment in religious matters are the recognized religious leaders of each generation, whom the Torah itself, in Deuteronomy 17, 9-11 directs us to heed. A woman serving as a rabbi in the Reform or Conservative Jewish spheres, of course, is wholly unremarkable. In the Orthodox world, though, gender roles are more fixed; that is what JOFA and some of its supporters would like to change, and for which they claim ample halachic justification. There was, though, ample halachic justification too, at least in some eyes, for innovations put forth by the Conservative movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Mixed-sex seating in synagogues and driving to syna-

gogue on the Sabbath were deemed permissible then and all the requisite “halachic” citations and responsa were duly proffered. To many, it all seemed reasonable and proper. The elders of the Orthodox Jewish community, though, saw it differently, and they were right. Proponents of woman rabbis in Orthodox congregations may be sincerely convinced of the propriety of their approach. But opposing the considered consensus of the community’s recognized Torah leaders is the antithesis of fealty to halacha, and, simply put, takes one to a place outside Orthodoxy. A session at JOFA’s recent conference was portentous. Entitled “A Rabbi by Any Other name…,” it aimed to explore whether or not “the glass ceiling [has] truly been shattered” and “what… the future hold[s] for women in Orthodox communal leadership positions.” One of the featured presenters at that session was the female spiritual leader of a Manhattan congregation called Kehillat Orach Eliezer (“KOE”). Her participation naturally led participants and observers to assume that the congregation is Orthodox. And, in fact, in 2002, the New York Jewish Week identified it explicitly as such. That same paper’s report on the recent conference implied the same, beginning with her name and quoting her about how “the Orthodox community needs men and women” in positions of leadership. Oddly, though, the word Orthodox does not appear on KOE’s website; nor does the congregation belong to any Orthodox umbrella congregational body, neither Agudath Israel, nor the National Council of Young Israel, nor the Orthodox Union. It has no ties to any major or minor Chassidic group. It claims to be “halachic” but of course, so did (and, somehow, still does) the Conservative movement. The Jewish Week claims that its “first loyalty is to the truth”; and JOFA puts its O before its F. Why then are they presenting an apparently nondenominational congregation as Orthodox? Might it be because they want to make it seem as if women rabbis are already accepted in Orthodox synagogues? If so, they are wrong. Intriguing, and telling, is the identity of the Eliezer in whose honor Kehillat Orach Eliezer is named. That would be Dr. Louis (Eliezer) Finkelstein. Yes, that Dr. Louis Finkelstein, the late Conservative movement leader. © 2010 AM ECHAD RESOURCES Rabbi Shafran is director of public affairs for Agudath Israel of America

Far Left Israeli Paper Manufactures Spy Scandal to Harm Jewish State BY CAROLINE B. GLICK Ha’aretz fancies itself as the Middle East’s “newspaper of record”. It champions those who seek an Israeli affirmation of their anti-Israel attitudes. ver the past two weeks Israel has been rocked by a major espionage scandal in which Ha’aretz newspaper plays a central role. To understand the significance of the scandal, it is worthwhile to preface a discussion of it with a look at a smaller story Ha’aretz developed this week. On Sunday, Ha’aretz’s Amira Hass reported that in January the IDF published a new military order that paves the way for the mass expulsion of illegal aliens from Judea and Samaria. The story sported the disturbing headline, “IDF order will enable mass deportation from West Bank.” In a follow-up on Monday, Hass reported that ten self-described human rights organizations, (all funded by the New Israel Fund), sent a joint letter to Defense Minister Ehud Barak asking him to rescind the orders. She noted too that, “the international media also has taken great interest in the story.” And indeed, on Wednesday, a Google news search for, “IDF West Bank deportation order,” drew nearly 20,000 results. Also on Monday, Ha’aretz published an editorial based on Hass’s stories. Entitled, “IDF bid to expel West Bank Palestinians is a step too far,” the editorial asserted, “Implementing this new military order is not only likely to spark a new conflagration in the territories, it is liable to give the world clear-cut proof that Israel’s aim is a mass deportation of Palestinians from the West Bank.” That is, Israel is fomenting a war and Israel deserves to lose that war because it is the villain. Wednesday, Ha’aretz reported that Jordan had joined it in condemning Israel. That’s quite an accomplishment for an Israeli newspaper with a negligible share of the domestic market. The only problem is that the order Hass reported on is 41 years old. After creating an international scandal, on Wednesday Ha’aretz acknowledged that the supposedly new order has been in place since 1969. What changed in January is that the IDF decided to expand the rights of illegal aliens in Judea and Samaria to pre-deportation hearings. This was not a change for the worse in the status of illegal residents. It was a change for the better. And still, due to Ha’aretz’s misreporting, Israeli diplomats are being called into the chanceries of the world and raked over the coals for the country’s alleged plot to conduct a mass expulsion of Palestinians. Ha’aretz accomplished two things with this story. It weakened Israel abroad which clearly serves its ideological purposes. And it demonstrated its enormous power to damage Israel’s international image at will which of course puts Israel’s law enforcement and judicial arms on notice as they prosecute and adjudicate the Ha’aretz spy scandal. Ha’aretz’s manipulation of the deportation story bears a striking similarity to the way it manipulated its own spy scandal. That scandal was under a total court-issued gag order that barred the local media from reporting on it until last Thursday. That gag order gave Ha’aretz the oppor-

tunity to manipulate the story to its advantage before the state authorities had a chance to explain what it was about. And so, early last week, Ha’aretz’s editor Dov Alfon approached credulous foreign journalists and spun a tale for them. By Alfon’s telling, Israel’s draconian Shin Bet security agency had “disappeared” one reporter - Anat Kamm - and caused another, Uri Blau - to flee the country. As Judith Miller put it in her write-up of Ha’aretz’s version of events in “The Daily Beast” website, Blau was on the lam in London, “to avoid answering questions about how and from whom he obtained the confidential defense department documents that are said to have resulted in a spate of stories alleging personal and institutional misconduct on the part of the Israeli Defense Forces, the hallowed IDF, and some of its senior officials.” As for Kamm, Miller reported that she was suspected of stealing up to a thousand documents from the IDF during her military service and giving them to Blau. But Miller claimed, she denied the allegations. When last Thursday the gag order was revoked, Israelis - and any foreigners who were interested- learned that Anat Kamm, a reporter at the Ha’aretz-owned Walla web portal had been under house arrest for four months. She is on trial for acts of espionage with the intent of harming national security that she committed not as a reporter, but during her service in the IDF. Not only did she not disappear, she continued reporting for Walla, while under house arrest until the end of March. After her release from the army, she shopped the documents she stole around to various military reporters and eventually gave them to Blau. The documents she stole included top secret information about IDF orders of battle, units, armaments and operational orders among other things. Such information in the hands of Israel’s enemies could cause the death of thousands of Israeli soldiers and civilians. Shin Bet found Kamm. And after confessing to stealing the 2,000 documents, she told them that she gave them all to Blau. When Blau found out that the Shin Bet knew he lied, and still illegally possesses thousands of classified documents, he decided not to return to Israel.

Hatzoloh EMS Volunteers, Angels to the Rescue Continued page Cover meet a large and demanding list of requirements to be accepted as a member and each are trained to deal with medical and trauma conditions and various facets of first aid as well as AED (automatic external defibrillator). “It’s not simply about the training,” explains the Director of the Flatbush Hatzoloh, “We have the nicest group of devoted, wonderful, fine young men both from the Sephardic and Ashkenaz community who are tremendously devoted. Our members are taught to consider it a privilege to be part of this organization since after all it is a privilege to be involved in God’s holy work.” I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Isaac Unger, the Director of Flatbush Hatzoloh, and speaking with him about the organizations, its beginnings, and the great responsibility and dedication it takes to be a volunteer. “It’s difficult to describe the great feeling of being fortunate to assist and aid in the preservation of life. It’s not simply an amazing feeling for the volunteers, but rather the great relief we see in the eyes of the family members when we rush into a home to offer assistance - it is truly indescribable,” Mr. Unger states. Very often in life out of the darkest most hopeless situations a small ray of light manages to break through and suddenly the darkness fades away. Hatzoloh was born out of such darkness in 1974 in the Williamsburg community when Rabbi Herschel Weber, founder of Hatzoloh, was sitting in his home when a friend suddenly collapsed. Although Emergency Services were phoned, by the time they responded to the call and arrived at the scene his friend had died. Taken aback by the events that took place, Rabbi Weber decided it was a time for action and so he set his mind on organizing a service that would function more efficiently because he understood that every moment lost was not simply a moment, but rather a life. He quickly pub-

lished his phone number as an emergency number, bought a few oxygen tanks, trained a few friends, and set out to make a difference. Although it began as nothing more than an oxygen service it grew to a First Aid service and continued to progressively grow and branch out having created 15 branches throughout the city, expanded to include other countries, and stands before us today having managed to spread worldwide. The message of Hatzoloh is clear, when there is a need – fill it! Stuart Diamond, a volunteer for the past 15 years commented, “We have a duty to act, plain and simple. Regardless of the hour or where we may be at the given moment, when the call comes in you drop everything you’re doing and run to the persons aid. Whether you’re at the office, in the synagogue, sleeping, at the Shabbat dinner table, or just getting home from a long days work – if you’re in the area you respond. I can say that there is truly nothing more fulfilling. You see God’s hand in all you do.” When asked about the great feeling that must go hand-in-hand with assisting so many Mr. Diamond simply commented, “I’m just an angel – just a hand and messenger of God” - words of a true angel. When meeting angels such as these it reminds us never to doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, and loving people can change the world because it is indeed the only thing that ever has. While our Flatbush Hatzoloh “Angels” are alert around the clock to bring ease and peace of mind to the Flatbush community, we can do our part as well by extending our support and gratitude for the service they provide on a regular basis. They are doing their part – now it’s time to do ours! Join Hatzoloh of Flatbush this Sunday, April 25th, 2010 at their annual Gala Auction to be held at Congregation Shaare Zion (2030 Ocean Parkway).

PA Activist Calls Ed Koch a ‘Zionist Racist and Depraved Liar’ BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU A Palestinian Authority activist has labeled former New York City Mayor Ed Koch a “Zionist racist,” “Zionist thug” and “depraved liar” who is an “old man with one foot in the grave.” He also wrote on an English-language PA opinion web site, that Koch tries to “brainwash people’s minds about the reality of Zio-Nazim [sic] as embodied by the Satanic creature known as Israel.” he writer, Khalid Amayreh, also has written for the pro-Hamas Al Jazeera satellite network and for the Iranian News Agency. Koch, recently said that he is disappointed with U.S. President Barack Obama, whom he backed for presidency, and that the American government has been too heavy handed against Israel. Amaryeh, who previously has accused the United States of being in cohorts with the Palestinian Authority, also says it and Israel are in an unholy alliance. Attacking Koch for criticizing President Obama’s demands that Israel stop building for Jews in united Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, Amaryeh wrote, “For Koch and like-minded Zionists, asking Israel to rein in Nazi-minded Jewish settlers, stop stealing occupied Arab land and freeze the expansion of Jewish-only colonies on land belonging to another people is tantamount to throwing Israel under the bus, according to these arrogant dogs and sick thugs.”

Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, attacked by Palestinian Authority activist. Besides calling Koch “an aggregate Zionist racist and liar,” he termed former U.S. President George W. Bush “another pathological liar, former President Bush who claimed that Muslims and Arabs hated the U.S. because of our freedoms and liberties’ not because of America’s dark embrace of Israeli Nazism... “One can argue rather candidly that Koch is either an irredeemable, willful ignoramus…or a pornographically odious liar that lies as often as he breathes oxygen, which is the more likely probability.” The article was disseminated on the “Palestine Free Voice” website despite the PA commitment to cease incitement against Israel.

Yom Ha’atzmaout Celebrated at Boro Park Shul BY: FERN SIDMAN The 62nd anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel was marked in grand fashion on Sunday evening April 18th, at the B’nai Israel of Linden Heights synagogue in Boro Park, as participants were treated to a most special Yom Ha’atzmaout program featuring the a capella musical stylings of Chazan Shlomo Agatstein and the Kol Yisroel choir, conducted by Eric Stern. cavernous and stately edifice, the synagogue was established in 1924 and is one of the oldest in Boro Park. Under the spiritual leadership of HaRav Gershon Tannenbaum, the congregation’s ranks has swelled over the years as the shul has become home to a large segment of the Russian Jewish community and other immigrant populations. Throwing a 62nd birthday bash for Israel is no small task, but through the tenacious efforts of Rabbi and Rebbetzin

Tannenbaum, shul members and other Boro Park personalities, the spectacular festivities came to fruition. Prior to the start of the event, a special singles seudah was held in conjunction with Rebbetzin Tannenbaum and several renowned shadchanim including Boro Park’s premiere matchmaker, Debbie Liebowitz, who donated her time and efforts in the hopes of helping those singles in the community find their beshert (soulmate). “I cannot thank Debbie Leibowitz enough for coming here tonight to facilitate introductions for the many singles of all ages in our community and for her genuine committment. We wish to express our deep appreciation and profound gratitude to Debbie for personally interviewing singles and for diligently working on finding them their zivug” said Rebbetzin Tannenbaum. Synagogue president, Abraham Yakob welcomed those assembled and introduced Rabbi Tannenbaum as they both led the congregation in the recitation of chapter 130 of Tehillim and acknowledged Hashem’s munificence in bestowing Klall

Yisroel with Jewish statehood. Introducing the evening’s keynote speaker as a “tireless and dedicated fighter for Israel”, a man whose name was “on the hit list of the same Al Qaeda terrorists that perpetrated the attacks on 9/11”, Rabbi Tannenbaum gave the podium over to his close friend and colleague, New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind who has represented the 48th assembly district of Boro Park since 1982. Exhorting the congregation to assume a more activist posture in their support for Israel, Assemblyman Hikind reminded the audience, “The majority of Jews in America today couldn’t care less about the future of Israel and the Obama administration is well aware of that and is capitalizing on it. It is up to us, those who truly believe in Hashem and the Torah mandated right to Eretz Yisroel, to raise our collective voices in outrage and indignation over the dramatic shift in US foreign policy as it pertains to Israel” he intoned. “Rabbi Tannenbaum joined me and other activists as we watched the government of Israel dismantle the settlements at

Gush Katif in 2005 as they forcibly evacuated over 9000 Jewish residents in the name of ‘peace’ with the Palestinians. This major territorial concession brought about nothing but a strategic launching pad for Kassam rockets into Israel by Hamas terrorists” he said. “Now, the issue is the division of our eternal capitol, Jerusalem and our Jewish elected officials and the community at large remains mute. After 120 years, how will we answer Hashem when He asks why we didn’t doing anything to oppose this catastrophic notion. We have Hashem on our side, but we have to really believe this and we will only merit Hashem’s intervention if we act to save precious homeland,” he declared. Hikind, a veteran Jewish activist, recalled his days as a member of the Jewish Defense League, under the leadership of it’s founder, Rabbi Meir Kahane, zt”l. “Rabbi Kahane taught us that every person could become a Moshe Rabbeinu, if only he or she deeply felt the pain of every Jew and had the courage to act on his convictions” said Hikind.

The coalition chairman said the committee established a working relationship with its counterparts in Russia’s two houses of parliament. Israel already has such a relationship with the United States. Elkin said Israel has to develop relations with other players in the fight against radical Islam to make sure it is not just a soldier led by one super power.

Herring: A Stinky Fish With A Fervent Following BY JAKE MARMER Among the classic Ashkenazic foods, none evokes as much love and repulsion, none is as intensely linked to the Old World, as herring—a salty fish with a distinct smell. This aroma is only exacerbated by the typical method of serving herring: pickled, with marinated onions. Yet, if you have ever seen the old men in shul, with a shot of whiskey in one hand, and a piece of herring in the other, if you have ever seen the pure bliss on their faces, you may have been tempted to sample and explore the object of their admiration. s Rabbi Noah Bickhart noted to me, of course there’s nothing intrinsically Jewish about eating herring—the fish is as popular in Scandinavia as it is throughout Eastern Europe. For that matter, noted the rabbi, there’s nothing particular Jewish about whiskey either—but the combination, in shul—that’s very Jewish. Most likely, the fish became popular among Eastern European Jews for practical reasons: it was cheap. Rather than calling herring by its Russian moniker, seledka, my great-grandmother Riva called it oseledka, adding a slight “oh” in the beginning of the word as a breathy sigh of pure adoration. Indeed, she, like many other shtetl balabustes knew how to make a whole feast out of a single herring. Today, on this side of the ocean, not a whole lot of people know (or want to know) that herring can actually be bought whole, and prepared in a number of ways. Be a mentch, try the recipes you find below. You might even like it. Before the recipes though, a quick word on the variety of cured, store-bought herring, by means of a Woody Allen quip: A man who could not marry off his ugly daughter visited Rabbi Shimmel of Cracow. “My heart is heavy,” he told the Rev, “because God has given me an ugly daughter.” “How ugly?” the Seer asked. “If she were lying on a plate with a herring, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.” The Seer of Cracow thought for a long time and finally asked, “What kind of herring?” The man, taken aback by the query, thought quickly and said, “Er—Bismarck.” “Too bad,” the Rabbi said. “If it was Maatjes, she’d have a better chance.” Woody Allen, Getting Even You may think Woody is jesting, and there’s really no difference between Bismarck and Maatjes herring, but the distinction is crucial. Bismarck is the salted fillet and roe of herring, pickled in vinegar, white wine, and spices. Maatjes (or soused) herring is baked or fried in a marinade containing vinegar, spices, tea, sugar, herbs and served therein. Can you compare the fine, gentle Maatjes that melts on your tongue with pungent, raw Bismarck? You may also encounter the Shmaltz herring, which is the fatty, mature hunks of fish, preserved in the mixture of vinegar, spice, and schmaltz— chicken or goose fat. When buying herring for the recipes

below, I recommend getting a simple noncured whole fish, most often found at a Russian specialty shop. These herring are stored in a mixture of water and salt, so they are already semi-pickled.

Herring and Onions 1 herring (for starters) 1 small onion 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil 1 Tablespoon vinegar (any kind) Wash the fish thoroughly, and dispose of all of the innards and the head. Cut the fish along the spine, and gently, with your fingers, pull the fillet off the bones. Slice the onion into thin rings and lay them beneath and over the herring. Mix the oil with the vinegar and marinade the onion and fish mixture in it for a few hours. Cut the fillet diagonally, and arrange the pieces, in the shape of a fish, on a plate, with onion rings atop. Pour the marinade over it and keep refrigerated. Herring in an Overcoat (Herring Pie) This is another moment of shtetl brilliance. Amidst severe poverty, this festivelooking dish was concocted from the humblest ingredients. 2 nicely sized herrings, fillets separated as per the first recipe 2 beets, peeled, grated, and boiled 1 large carrot, peeled, grated, and boiled 1 sour apple, peeled, cored, and cut into thin long pieces 3 medium onions, chopped small 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped 4-5 potatoes, peeled, cubed, and boiled lots of mayonnaise (you can use soy mayo if you’re so health-conscious) Chop the herring fillets into small pieces and arrange half of the pieces as a dense layer in a large dish, so you cannot see the dish’s bottom. Over the herring, place a layer of onions (using about half), then a layer of potatoes, then layers of carrots, apple, and beets. Spread some mayonnaise on top. Over the beets, layer the rest of the herring, then the remaining onions, then potatoes, carrots, apple, and beets. Finally, add a generous dallop of mayonnaise and spread it over the ‘pie.’ Crumble the eggs, both yolks and whites, over the top, and refrigerate before serving. Some people have been known to add layers of walnuts and prunes, but I personally have never tried that—experiment at your own risk. (Jake Marmer is a poet and performer, living in New York City. He is currently working on his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at CUNY Graduate Center. You can find more of his work at jakemarmer.wordpress.com.)

Some Supermarkets Still Confuse Kosher for Passover with Kosher A blogger in Santa Cruz found regular matzoh on a Kosher for Passover shelf but “not a single box of Passover matzoh.” n inspector for the New York State Kosher Law Enforcement Bureau found many Passover shelves with kosher products that are not kosher for Passover. In New Jersey, a Kosher for Passover aisle featured non-Passover croutons. In Queens, there was confusion about cans of mushrooms on the shelves, some with the P designation and others without. Sources blamed the turnover of store personnel as a primary reason, particularly those

stores that do not rely on distributors to set up the Passover shelves. “It’s really a case of the blind leading the blind,” said one distributor who described a store where a new manager with little experience in kosher giving instructions to a worker about stocking the shelves. In the New Jersey case, the daughter of a local rabbi complained to the manager who then asked her to go through all the products on the shelf to find any items that were not kosher for Passover. Distributors found it ironic that the stores would invest into a Passover program but then not go to the trouble of setting it up properly.

Israel Bans Imports of Apple iPad

Israel has banned imports of Apple Inc.’s hottest new product, the iPad, citing concerns that the strength of its wireless receivers and transmitters are incompatible with national standards and could disrupt other wireless devices. ustoms officials said Thursday they have already confiscated about 10 iPads since Israel announced the new regulations this week. The blanket ban prevents anyone — even tourists — from bringing an iPad into Israel until officials certify that the computers comply with local transmitter standards. Presently, the iPad is only available for sale in the U.S. Apple announced on Wednesday that it would delay international pricing and sales until May 10 — a date that is expected to include several European countries, but not Israel. Israeli officials said the ban has nothing to do with trade and is simply a precaution to assure that the iPad doesn’t disrupt service for wireless devices already in use in Israel. “If you operate equipment in a frequency band which is different from the others that operate on that frequency band, then

there will be interference,” said Nati Schubert, a senior deputy director for the Communications Ministry. “We don’t care where people buy their equipment ... but without regulation, you would have chaos.” The U.S. Federal Communications Commission allows Wi-Fi broadcasting at higher power levels than are allowed in Europe and Israel — meaning that the stronger signal could consume too much bandwidth, or throw off others’ wireless connections, according to Schubert. Although Israeli standards are similar to those in many European nations, Israel is the only country so far to officially ban imports. Schubert said he expects the problem to be resolved as Apple moves closer to officially releasing the iPad for international sale. In the meantime, confiscated iPads will be held by customs — for a daily storage fee — until their owners depart the country or ship the gadgets back to the U.S. at their own expense. Apple’s chief distributor in Israel, iDigital, declined to comment on the Communications Ministry’s decision, and a message left at Apple’s headquarters in California was not immediately returned.

Space Junk Circling the Earth is Growing

Imagine half a million marbles circling Earth, a sort of celestial obstacle course for the International Space Station, shuttles and satellites. hat’s the increasingly problematic issue of orbital debris. The objects can be as big as a defunct satellite, but — traveling at speeds of 17,500 miles an hour or more, even a paint flake can put a chink in a space shuttle window, as happened on one mission. “It’s almost like it’s being sandblasted by these very small pieces of space debris,” said Roderick Heelis, director of the Hanson Center for

Space Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas. The amount of junk in low Earth orbit — where the shuttle and the space station travel — has increased 60 percent since 2006, according to NASA. Recent additions to the trash belt include 3,000 pieces of debris created last year when China destroyed a defunct satellite as a test of anti-satellite military capability, and 2,000 more bits that came from a collision this February between an Iridium commercial satellite and a dead Russian satellite.

‘Lights Out’ May Help Fight Cancer

Lamplight burning all night may affect cell division and increase the risk of cancer, Israeli and British researchers warn. tudy leaders Dr. Rachel Ben-Shlomo of the University of Haifa in Israel and Charalambos Kyriacou of the University of Leicester in England said just one “pulse” of artificial light during night hours was enough to disrupt the body’s circadian “clock” and affect how the body’s cells divided. _______________________________

“Damage to cell division is characteristic of cancer, and is therefore important to understand the causes of this damage”.

How to Choose a Running Shoe

STEP 1. The time of day you shop for running shoes is an important factor in selecting shoes that will break in properly. Shop in the later part of the afternoon when you feet have generally swelled to what their normal size during running would be.

STEP 7. Go to the running shoe store. Tell them what you've found out about your old shoes, or bring a pair with you. The employees should be able to "read" your old shoes and guide your choice. If not, you probably should f ind a different store.

STEP 2. Find a good running shoe store. You can buy your shoe at the local mega-mart, but the sales professionals in a specialty store are better trained to help you pick the right shoe. To locate a store, ask friends who run, check running magazine reviews, or check the yellow pages.

STEP 8. Look for running shoes with at least 1/2 inch space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This may often mean buying a pair of shoes sized 1/2 to a whole size larger than normal street shoes.

STEP 4. Place your shoes side-by-side on a flat surface. If the shoes tilt in toward the middle, your new shoe probably needs more stability than your old shoe. If they tilt to the outside, you may have a high arch and your new shoes should have good shock absorption.

STEP 9. Try out the shoes. Many stores will let you take a run up and down the street to audition the shoes. Try on as many shoes as it takes. Make sure you like the feel and f it of the shoe. Try out the new shoes for at least 10 minutes. This lets you know if the shoe maintains its comfort during wear. Try on shoes at the store while wearing the type of socks you normally wear while running. Since socks come in different thicknesses, it is essential that you account for their size when buying new shoes.

STEP 5. Look at the top of your shoe. If you can see an outline of your big or little toe, and you've noticed discomfort in those areas while running, you should try a larger or wider shoe.

STEP 10. Buy the best running shoes for your feet that youcan afford. When you f ind the right pair, don't let them get away. Take them home and start breaking them in!

STEP 6. Consider the amount of running you will be doing. This tells you whether you should buy an elite running shoe or a basic model. The more intense the running, the more money you'll want to spend on the shoes.

STEP 11. Break in running shoes for a marathon or other race at least 4 to 6 weeks prior to the event. Especially in the case of long distance runs, it may be necessary to purchase a pair of running shoes specif ically for that event.

STEP 3. Examine the soles of your old running shoes. Notice the spots where the shoes show wear from the road. This tells you where your foot falls every time it hits the ground.

this damage,” Ben-Shlomo said in a statement. Ben-Shlomo, Kyriacou and colleagues exposed laboratory mice to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. During the dark hours, one group of mice was exposed to artif icial light for one hour. The mice studies, published in the journal Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics, link exposure to the unnatural light to changes in the biological clocks of the cells — which affected genes that control how cells form cancer as well as how cells f ight against cancer. “What is certain is that the natural division is affected,” Ben-Shlomo said.

How to Start Running Today BY DIMITY MCDOWELL According to Running USA, an organization that tracks national trends, the number of people who finished a running race soared from 791,000 in 1987 to 4.4 million in 2007. Why the attraction? n a poll of 8,000 runners by the same organization, people said they run to sculpt a toned physique, stave off stress, and achieve personal goals. And those are just a few of running’s many benefits. But perhaps what draws people to the sport more than anything is that everyone can do it. You don’t need special skills, pricey gear, athletic ability, or even good genes. All running requires is a pair of shoes and a little determination. Still, it can be intimidating, so we came up with this failproof plan to get you started and keep you on track.

The Perks of Pavement Pounding Anyone who has hung out in the treadmill area of the gym or watched a road race knows that runners have hot bodies. It takes a ton of effort to move your body weight without assistance, “which is why running burns more calories per minute than pretty much any other exercise,” says Lesley Mettler, a running coach in Seattle. Case in point: The average 140-pound woman who runs at a 10-minute mile pace for an hour burns 512 calories. Compare that to an hour spent doing Pilates (384 calories), walking (225 calories), or swimming (448 calories). Torching all those calories sheds body fat to reveal the lean muscle below. So not only do runners have enviable legs, but their entire bodies look trim and toned. Take up running and you’ll get benefits beyond just looking amazing — you’ll also live longer and stay healthier. Researchers at Stanford University discovered that regular runners have a 39 percent lower risk of dying an early death compared with healthy adults of the same age. “Virtually every system in your body benefits from running,” says Christine Hinton, a running coach in Crofton, Maryland. Study after study shows that running can help prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, and even cancer. Most recently, a 2009 study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that running is as good a bone-builder as strength training. In addition to giving you a physical edge, running improves your mental health too. A 2008 study found that areas in the brain associated with mood are flooded with endorphins — the feel-good hormones — after exercise. This is especially true with running. “When you run, it’s just you, your body, and the environment,” says Kristen Dieffenbach, Ph. D., a sports psychology consultant and assistant professor of athletic coaching at West Virginia University. Your arms, legs, and breathing fall into a rhythm that eventually lulls your brain into a meditative “no-stress zone” in which bills and bosses fade away.

At Last: The Truth Behind Running’s Bad Press Despite its many advantages, running has its share of critics who say the relentless pounding ruins your knees, leads to chronic

back pain, and causes wrinkles. But experts say the rewards of running far outweigh the risks. A recent review in the Journal of Anatomy found that running does not increase your risk of osteoarthritis, the cartilage decay that causes pain and inflammation in hip and knee joints. Nor does it wreck your back, according to a research review in the Southern Medical Journal. Researchers suggest that because running builds stronger muscles and ligaments, it actually has a protective effect on these areas. As for whether all that pavement pounding causes gravity to take its toll, resulting in sagging, wrinkled skin, “it’s a myth,” says Tom Holland, an exercise physiologist in Darien, Connecticut. “The reason runners can sometimes appear weathered is that they’re thinner — low body fat makes fine lines more visible — and they’re out in the sun more.” Slather on a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 half an hour before your run to avoid the leathery look.

Stuff You Need Shoes: Expect to shell out at least $75 for a good running shoe. Sneakers that don’t meet the needs of your foot type and running style can lead to Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), knee pain, and shin splints, says Stephen M. Pribut, D. P. M., clinical assistant professor of surgery at the George Washington University Medical Center. Smart running shoes? We tested these sneakers to see if the advanced technology is worth all the hype.

Yeshivot Bnei Akiva High School in Israel Program for Overseas Students Yeshivot Bnei Akiva has announced the launching of a lowcost, high-quality educational alternative to modern Orthodox day schools: a 3-year religious Zionist high school program in Israel for tenth through twelfth grade students from Diaspora communities. The program will be subsidized by the Ministry of Education Naale Program, and tuition will be approximately half of the average tuition for yeshiva high school education in the U.S., with scholarship assistance available for needy families. he program will feature intensive modern Hebrew instruction [Ulpan] in the first year, with the goal of mainstreaming the students into regular Hebrew language classes from the second year on (with extra tutoring available as needed). English language and literature classes will be aligned with the American high school curriculum and additional PSAT/SAT preparation classes will be offered. Graduates will receive an Israeli high school matriculation [Bagrut] diploma, recognized by most leading universities in the US.

“The Bnei Akiva program is open to all American day school students.” ________________________________ YBA, which has a network of 63 schools throughout Israel, designed the program in an effort to deepen the connection of American Jews with the Jewish homeland. The Bnei Akiva program is open to all American day school students, but more than likely it will be a more appealing to families who are considering aliyah or those who have relatives in Israel. Four veteran YBA dormitory schools have agreed to participate in the program: Yeshivot Netiv Meir in Jerusalem and Ohel Shlomo in Beer Sheva, and Ulpanot Amana in Kfar Saba and Segula in Kiryat Motzkin. YBA’s goal is to recruit 20 students per school to enter 10th grade in September 2010.

City Agrees to Shut the ‘Rubber Rooms’ for Teachers BY BETH FERTIG The New York city’s infamous rubber rooms will close by the end of December. Suspended teachers accused of incompetence or misconduct will no longer report for duty to these reassignment centers, where they collect pay and do nothing. Instead they’ll work in Department of Education offices while waiting for their cases to be resolved. The city has also agreed to expedite the lengthy hearing process. t takes 18 months on average for suspended teachers to get out of a rubber room. That’s partly because they can wait for months before charges are even brought against them. And it takes a long time to go through the hearing process. The city’s new agreement with the teachers’ union is intended to speed things along says Chancellor Joel Klein. “The whole theory is, let’s get it done,” he said at a press conference with the mayor and the United Federation of Teachers president. “Those who don’t belong in the system

should be removed. Those who belong back in the classroom should get back in the classroom. It doesn’t help to wait three to four years to go through a process and then return somebody to the classroom.” Under a new timeline, the city will have 10 days to bring charges against a teacher accused of incompetence. And it gets 60 days to charge a teacher with misconduct, because that’s much more serious. If no charges are brought, the teacher goes back to the classroom. But the investigation can still continue. Teachers accused of serious felonies like sex abuse can still be taken off the payroll. The city and the union also agreed to address the hearing process when a teacher is charged. The system moves slowly because there are only 23 arbitrators hearing these cases. The city will expand that number to 39 starting in September. And the arbitrators will be asked to work faster, holding 10 hearings within a 60 day period. United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew says they often take longer. And that’s what keeps teachers in rubber rooms.

Parshas Acharei Mos - Kedoshim - 5770

Honorable Mentshen This week the Torah tells us about loving every Jew. It adds a special verse exhorting us to be especially sensitive to a special type of Jew the convert. "When a proselyte dwells among you in your land, do not taunt him. The proselyte who dwells with you shall be like a native among you, and you shall love him like yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt -- I am Hashem, your G-d" (Leviticus 19:3334) person who converts has the status of a Jew. He is a full-fledged member of the community and every social, moral and ethical tenet applies to him. Though he may be exempt from particular laws concerning "kahal" (which would have implications in marital law), he is otherwise as equal as any Jew. And that's why this verse troubles me. After all, if the convert is a Jew, why do we need a special command telling

us not to inflict any discomfort upon him? Hadn't the Torah told us in verse 18, "Love your neighbor as yourself?" Why implore born-Jews to be nice to the newcomers through a series of commands that seem to use a moral approach: "You were once a stranger, so you know how it feels?" A convert is a Jew. And a Jew is a Jew is a Jew! All rules apply! When my grandfather Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetzky, of blessed memory, was dean of Mesivta Torah Voda’ath back in the 1950s, he developed a professional relationship with a psychotherapist who worked with some of the students. The doctor would often call Rabbi Kamenetzky to discuss his treatment of some of the students under his care. They also would have discussions on psychology and education. The doctor was a student of the famed psychotherapist, Dr. Sigmund Freud, and despite Freud’s attitude toward religion, this particular doctor was always

Pirkei Avot CHAPTER THREE

Akavia the son of Mahalalel would say: Reflect upon three things and you will not come to the hands of transgression. Know from where you came, where you are going, and before whom you are destined to give a judgement and accounting. From where you came--from a putrid drop; where you are going--to a place of dust, maggots and worms; and before whom you are destined to give a judgement and accounting-before the supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. Rabbi Chanina, deputy to the kohanim, would say: Pray for the integrity of the government; for were it not for the fear of its authority, a man would swallow his neighbor alive. Rabbi Chanina son of Tradyon would say: Two who sit and no words of Torah pass between them, this is a session of scorners, as is stated, "And in a session of scorners he did not sit" (Psalms 1:1). But two who sit and exchange words of Torah, the Divine Presence rests amongst them, as is stated, "Then the Gd-fearing conversed with one another, and G-d listened and heard; and it was inscribed before Him in a book of remembrance for those who fear G-d and give thought to His name" (Malachi 3:16). From this, I know only concerning two individuals; how do I know that even a single individual who sits and occupies himself with the Torah, G-d designates reward for him? From the verse, "He sits alone in meditative stillness; indeed, he receives [reward] for it" (Lamentations 3:28). Rabbi Shimon would say: Three who eat at one table and do not speak words of Torah, it is as if they have eaten of idolatrous sacrifices; as is stated, "Indeed, all tables are filled with vomit and filth, devoid of the Omnipresent" (Isaiah 28:8). But three who eat at one table and speak words of Torah, it is as if they have eaten at G-d's

1 2

table, as is stated, "And he said to me: This is the table that is before G-d" (Ezekiel 41:22). Rabbi Chanina the son of Chachina'i would say: One who stays awake at night, or travels alone on the road, and turns his heart to idleness, has forfeited his life. Rabbi Nechunia the son of Hakanah would say: One who accepts upon himself the yoke of Torah is exempted from the yoke of government duties and the yoke of worldly cares; but one who casts off the yoke of Torah is saddled with the yoke of government duties and the yoke of worldly cares. Rabbi Chalafta the son of Dosa of the village of Chanania would say: Ten who sit together and occupy themselves with Torah, the Divine Presence rests amongst them, as is stated: "The Almighty stands in the congregation of G-d" (Psalms 82:1). And from where do we know that such is also the case with five? From the verse, "He established his band on earth" (Amos 9:6). And three? From the verse, "He renders judgement in the midst of the tribunal" (Psalms 82:1). And two? From the verse, "Then the G-d-fearing conversed with one another, and G-d listened and heard" (Malachi 3:16). And from where do we know that such is the case even with a single individual? From the verse, "Every place where I have My name mentioned, I shall come to you and bless you" (Exodus 20:21). Rabbi Elazar of Bartosa would say: Give Him (Hashem) what is His, for you, and whatever is yours, are His. As David says: "For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we give to You" (I Chronicles 29:14). Rabbi Yaakov would say: One who walks along a road and studies, and interrupts his studying to say, "How beautiful is this tree!", "How beautiful is this ploughed f ield!"---the Torah considers it as if he had forfeited his life.

respectful and never attributed any of the students’ problems to observance or religious commitment. Years later, when Rav Yaakov was informed that the doctor had passed away, he felt it incumbent to attend his funeral. He assumed it would not be the type of service he was used to, and even understood that he, a frocked and bearded sage, would appear out of place among a medical community of his distinguished colleagues, assimilated German and Austrian psychotherapists and mental health professionals. However, Rav Yaakov’s gratitude overruled his hesitation. When entering the Riverside Chapel, Rav Yaakov was shocked to see that a distinguished Rav, a friend of his, was performing the funeral and that scores of Torah observant Jews were participating. After the service which was done in total compliance with halacha, Rav Yaakov approached his friend who had officiated.

How do you know the doctor? What connection do you have with him? "What do you mean," answered the Rav. "Of course I knew him. The doctor davened in my shul three times a day!" My grandfather had never discussed religion with the man, he just respected him for his professionalism and abilities. The Torah tells us that even though there is a universal command to love every Jew as yourself, an additional concept applies specifically to a convert. We must be kind to him as part of the overall moral obligation of a nation that also endured the trauma of being strangers. In addition to loving Jews as their inherent birthright, it is also imperative to display love to them when our moral obligation demands it. The Torah is teaching us not.

Haftorah Acharei Mos - Kedoshim Amos 9:7 This week's Haftorah is from Amos chapter 9, and is the Haftorah for Acharei Mos. he basic theme of the two Parshios is the responsibility of the Jews to maintain a life style of Kedusha holiness that sets them apart from all the other nations and grants them the right to live in Eretz Yisroel. Amos the Navi began by chastising the Bnai Yisroel for being no better than the Pilishtim or the Arameans. They too were saved from oppression and enslavement but did not cherish the opportunity that G-d had granted to them. Amos began his prophesies in 3115 646 b.c.e. when Yeravam ll extended the boundaries of Israel (the Northern Kingdom) and under whose reign the king-

dom of Israel flourished. Yeravam attempted to banish Amos from the kingdom because of his prophecy that Yeravam's kingdom would not last. Amos criticized the kingdom for persecuting the poor and immersing themselves in materialism and luxury. Amos told the Jews that primary destruction would be directed against the leaders of the kingdom while the populace would be driven into exile. His presentation painted the exile of Israel as an act of preservation and kindness on G-d's part. Verse 9:11 is the verse that we add to the grace after meals during Succos that prophesies the rebuilding of the Davidic dynasty. The final words of Amos prophesy the coming of Mashiach and the return to Eretz Yisroel.

Rothschilds Donate $150M “Triumph Of The Spirit” to Israel National Library Premieres in Nation’s Capitol BY GIL RONEN

BY: FERN SIDMAN

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with Lord Jacob Rothschild and other members of the Rothschild family Sunday and thanked them for their pledge to donate more than $150 million for the building of a new National Library. The Prime Minister informed the Rothschilds of the government’s decision to set aside a plot in Jerusalem’s Kiryat HaLeom government complex for the construction of the library.

On Thursday evening, April 15th, electricity filled air at the Capitol Visitor’s Center in Washington, DC as elected officials from both sides of the aisle, including Senator Joseph Lieberman (i) of Connecticut, along with other renowned dignitaries gathered for the much heralded premiere of the powerful and poignant new documentary entitled, “Triumph of the Spirit”. This inspiring 22 minute film focuses on the Holocaust experiences of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, founder and president of Hineni, the internationally renowned Torah outreach organization.

rime Minister Netanyahu said that, “Establishing a new National Library is an important part of our comprehensive plan to preserve Jewish heritage sites in Israel and strengthen our nation’s heritage among the younger generation and future generations.” The meeting between the renowned family of f inanciers and the Prime Minister was also attended by the Director of the National Library, representatives of the National Library, representatives of the “Yad HaNadiv” Rothschild Fund and the President of Hebrew University. The National Library is currently located in the Givat Ram campus of Hebrew University. It is currently housed in a relatively old building with outdated infrastructure and cannot offer its visitors services on par with many other modern national libraries. The new library will be furnished and equipped with advanced digital technol-

ormally, Holocaust films leave one depressed or in a negative, angry state of mind. This film however, is different, and the reason for that is that instead of focusing only on the brutality of that horrific time, it highlights the indomitable faith of our people that burns more powerfully than the fires of the crematoria. The film imparts a message that not only inspires and charges the viewer, with the mandate of “zachor - to remember”, but more importantly, to live by the legacy of our holy martyrs and to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers. Subsequent to the majestic reception, Daniel Mariaschin, the executive vice president of B’nai Brith International introduced Rebbetzin Jungreis as “a survivor of the unspeakable horrors of Bergen Belson who emerged from that nightmarish experience with a tremendous spirit and a commitment to her people.” He added that, “There are very few people who have the ability to restore the faith of humankind after the

Lord Jacob Rothschild ogy and will include large storage spaces and innovative display areas. In accordance with the 2007 National Library Law, a National Library Company will be established for construction and management of the library. Fifty percent of it will be owned by the government, 25% by Hebrew University and another 25% by several government and public institutions.

Holocaust and to teach real values; values that have been lost in our society, to a new generation. Rebbetzin Jungreis does this with such magnificent intellect and grace and for that we honor her today.” Mr. Mariaschin presented Rebbetzin Jungreis with a special proclamation honoring her lifetime work from US Senator Charles Schumer (D) of New York who could not be in attendance. Rebbetzin Jungreis told her audience, “I never thought that a movement based on Holocaust denial would ever exist and that there would be those who say that this sadistic savagery never happened. Now, you can tell your children and grandchildren that you heard it from me.” Sara Bloomfield, the Director of the United States Holocaust Museum, along with Fred Zeidman, Chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Hadassah Lieberman, the devoted wife of Senator Joseph Lieberman were presented with awards and tributes for their distinguished work and for their lifetime commitment of “remembering” the most devastating period of modern Jewish history. Following the screening of “Triumph of the Spirit” Rebbetzin Jungreis addressed the audience, speaking of her years in Bergen Belson and the unwavering faith in Hashem that was taught to her by her beloved father and grandfather. She concluded by reminding the audience, “our Passover Hagaddah reminds us that anti-Semitism will never cease until Moshiach comes: Sheh b’chol dor vador - In every generation, there will be those who rise up against us, and the Almighty G-d always saves us from their clutches.”

Another Week Another Recall: Toyota Recalls 600,000 Sienna Minivans ... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

vehicle to a dealership for an inspection. The recall involves Siennas in the District of Columbia and the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin and

West Virginia. Steve St. Angelo, Toyota’s chief quality officer for North America, said the company was providing free inspections of the spare tire carrier cable across the nation, including states not included in the recall. Owners can call (800) 331-4331 for more information.

Lawmakers remain focused on the spate of recalls affecting the company. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., a subcommittee chairman, said they plan a May 6 hearing to look into potential electronic causes of sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles.

Toyota has said it has found no evidence of electronic problems, attributing the issues to sticking gas pedals and accelerators that can become jammed in floor mats. Toyota said in a statement Friday it was “more than willing to meet with the committee and discuss the ongoing testing related

enough speed for Earth’s gravitational pull to quickly bring it down to a f iery death.) “Space is like the Wild West used to be,” said David Wright, senior scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists. The f irst explorers of the new frontier “didn’t feel like they needed laws. They dumped their trash anywhere.” Now, new binding international agreements are needed to bar anti-satellite tests like the one China did and require that countries that launch satellites and other spacecraft be more careful about what gets left behind in space, Wright said. Otherwise, “all the great things you want to use space for benef icially could be much, much more diff icult to use.” Meanwhile, the United States and other countries have an extensive system for tracking space debris, using telescopes and computer modeling. Bob

Plemmons, professor of mathematics and computer science at Wake Forest University, does some of the tracking for the Air Force. The problem is getting worse as more and more countries put up satellites, he noted: “With technology today, it’s essential to have good communications satellites.” And the end of the space shuttle program will mean some data collected on weather conditions and the positions of other satellites will need to be collected by new satellites, adding to the risk, he said. In higher orbits, such as those for satellites, the debris is going even faster, Heelis pointed out. And it’s farther from Earth, so it takes longer to be destroyed — decades or centuries instead of years. “Space is large, so the chances of [debris] hitting you are very small,” Heelis said. “But if it does hit you, the consequences are very large.”

Space Junk Circling the Earth is Growing... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31 William Jeffs, NASA spokesman for the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Directorate at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, said the millions of pieces of space junk include half a million pieces bigger than a marble and 20,000 bigger than a softball. Although the shuttle will be retired later this year and the space station program will end in 2020, the problem will continue to pose a threat to satellites vital for communications, weather monitoring and the military. So it’s little surprise the United States and other countries have begun to focus more on the issue of space junk, designing satellites that deorbit themselves after they f inish their jobs and other techniques to reduce debris. As for the space station itself, its trash is loaded into the Russian Progress vehicles, which ferry supplies up. After

the Progress is f illed with junk — something NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries likened to “cramming your suitcase full of everything you want to take with you” it is sent hurtling toward Earth, where much of it burns up in the atmosphere. Some of the trash that doesn’t f it into the Progress, along with experiments and broken items NASA wants to inspect, comes back on the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module in Discovery’s payload bay. When Discovery returns to Earth on Sunday, it will be carting 20,000 pounds of trash and equipment. It’s all a sea change from the days when Russia’s Mir space station dumped its trash into space, 87 bags of it, said Jonathan McDowell of the HarvardSmithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Congressional Hearing Tackles Anti-Semitism In Social Media... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 bomber games and others in which the player commits atrocities such as gunning down Haitian survivors. The concept of the lone wolf is also alarming, he said, referring to James von Brunn, who last June gunned down a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Von Brunn, who died in January, maintained a Web site

blaming Jews and African-Americans for an earlier jail sentence. Other panelists included Elisa Massimino, president and CEO of Human Rights First; Rabbi Andrew Baker, the American Jewish Committee’s director of international Jewish affairs; and Kenneth Jacobson, deputy national director of the Anti-

Defamation League. Massimino, whose written testimony included a 10-point plan for combating hate crimes, urged the Congress members to press the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe “to live up to the commitments they have already made” to effectively track and combat hate crimes and for the U.S. to

make their presence known on the issue. Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Ron Klein (D-Fla.) also attended at the hearing, which was convened by Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Organizations.

Rise in Admissions at Beth Israel Hospital after of St. Vincent Closing... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Beth Israel would have on a normal day. “We were inundated...and today is approaching that,” said physician’s assistant Umberto DeJesus, looking weary after a shift that saw 339 patients registered in the ER. “But that’s the nature of it,” he said, smiling. Dubbed “the buses,” ambulances pouring into the E. 16th St. ER bay were from the FDNY, Hatzoloh, St. Vincent’s, other private companies and Beth Israel’s own fleet. Being the nearest ER to St. Vincent’s, Beth Israel’s boost in ER activity was anticipated. Off icials added extra nurses to triage duty, extended the hours for elective surgeries

and opened clinical services hours earlier. Beth Israel normally treats up to 90,000 people in its ER annually, said Dr. Gregg Husk, chair of emergency medicine. This year, he said, the ER is on track to treat 112,000. The escalating volume of patients is on par with “what you would expect if we were absorbing 40% of the 60,000 ER visits seen a year at St. Vincent’s,” Husk said. Filling the ER were St. Vincent’s refugees like Ed Lorenzo, 70, a diabetic with dangerously low blood pressure and a gripe that the hike from the West Side was “a longer commute for older people.”

“I was born in St. Vincent’s, I live on the West Side, and I always went there if I needed to,” said Lorenzo after landing in the ER last week. “I was at my doctor’s off ice in the West Village and he said I had to go to the hospital, and he sent me here in an ambulance.” ER walk-ins included Diane Rivera, 42, who was clutching her side, complaining of abdominal pain. Rivera said she was a St. Vincent’s patient who now would be coming to Beth Israel. The increase in ER visits means more admissions to the hospital. On Thursday, 91 people were admitted, an all-time high.

This is the second surge in patients Beth Israel has been forced to tackle in the past two years; the f irst was when Cabrini Medical Center in nearby Gramercy Park closed in 2008. Beth Israel’s Kathleen Ehrenberg, associate chair of emergency medicine, is conf ident that the staff is up to the task, pointing out that the hospital opened the f irst phase of its expanded emergency department last fall. To make sure Beth Israel was weathering the surge of patients, the city Health Department sent an inspector last week to observe the ER and the ambulance bay. “He is timing us for how quickly we turn over the ambulances, get them back out on the street,” Ehrenberg said.

And the Winner is... Foreman Prepares for June 5 Title Defense... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Being a world champion is not just easy f ights, it’s f ighting other world champions. And Miguel Cotto is another world champion.” “This f ight is a dream come true”

said Foreman. The June 5th event is the f irst in Yankee Stadium in more than three decades. On a coincidental and historical note, the f irst title f ight at the old

Yankee stadium - Benny Leonard’s defense of his title against Lew Tendler, July 23, 1923 - also showcased a Jewish champion. However, boxing at Yankee stadium has not always been a positive experience. Promoter Bob Arum recalled the last, not overly successful f ight at the Stadium and said “things change.” Yankees’ Chief Operating Off icer Lonn Trost said. “Yankee Stadium was, is and will always remain a fabric in the life of boxing.” He called the match “a regional showdown.” The match will have heavy support from each f ighter’s home community. Foreman, who in addition to maintaining his vigorous training schedule, is pursuing rabbinical studies, has active backing from the signif icant Russian and general Jewish population in the New York metropolitan area. Because he is shomer Shabbat, and the Sabbath does not end until after sundown Saturday night, the main event will not begin until 11:30 PM. Cotto has deep support among fans with ties to his native Puerto Rico, thousands are whom are expected to cheer on their (at least, former) world

champion. The event is scheduled in the center of two highly charged events – each group’s major ethnic parade, the Salute to Israel (May 23rd) and the Puerto Rican Day parade, which marches a week after the f ight. The f ight is not without an undercurrent of internal intrigue. While admiring comments crossed the podium several times - Murray Wilson, Foreman’s manager, noted that he is a fan of Cotto’s; one of Foreman’s trainers, Joe Grier, expressed similar admiration, still assuring his strong support for team Foreman. But controversy remains regarding Emanuel Steward, the well known trainer, who, though initially hired as part of Foreman’s team, changed loyalty and is now Cotto’s head trainer. Steward was not at the Friday announcement. For fans who cannot come to the Bronx, the f ight will be broadcast live on HBO. The broadcaster’s spokesman Mark Taff it presented HBO subscribers with their own “win:” no additional fee will be charged to view the broadcast.

The ASA said it has received many complaints regarding the decision and has released a further statement on its Web site. “We do appreciate that some people

strongly disagree with our decision,” the advertising regulator said. “Our ruling does not prevent the Israeli Government Tourist Off ice from depicting the Western Wall or other parts of Jerusalem in future advertisements. The ruling solely seeks to ensure that future ads do not imply that places in the occupied territories are part of the State of Israel.” The ASA said it is “duty bound” to

respond to concerns raised about advertisements that appear in the UK. “Often we have to make decisions about subject matters in advertisements that polarize opinion and where strength of feeling and views are particularly pronounced. We realize our decision will disappoint some people,” the statement said. While it confirmed that advertiser has the ability to seek a review, it said that

the ASA will not reconsider its ruling in this case. “If the advertiser disagrees with our ruling then they can seek an independent review. Although it will disappoint you I am afraid we will not, however, be reconsidering our ruling. “Finally we are unable to enter into discussions about hypothetical advertisements for other tourist destinations, i.e. the UK,” the ASA said.

As the rally ended, counter-protesters hurled rocks, branches and other items over the police line and into a parking lot where the white supremacists’ had left their cars.

Some members of the group had trouble starting a black Ford Mustang and attempted to hook up jumper cables to their engine.

Far Left Israeli Paper Manufactures Spy Scandal to Harm Jewish State... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 And it was with the knowledge that their reporter lied to the Shin Bet and fled the country that Ha’aretz chose to pay his living expenses in London and his legal expenses in Israel. It was with the knowledge that Kamm committed treason that Ha’aretz hired her as a reporter for Walla and represented her as a persecuted journalist to the international press.

Kamm’s treachery is a deeply disturbing comment on the mindset of the radical Left in Israel. But her crimes are even more alarming when we realize that Kamm is not a lone renegade. In her treasonous activities, she enjoys the support of a massive organization. By collaborating with Kamm first by publishing her stolen documents, hiring her

as a reporter, and finally by covering up her crimes while suborning Blau’s perjury, Ha’aretz has demonstrated that leftist traitors have a powerful sponsor capable of exacting painful revenge on the State of Israel for daring to prosecute them. As for the State of Israel, depressingly, what the Ha’aretz spy scandal demonstrates is that the state is utterly unwilling to deal

with this dangerous state of affairs. Shin Bet Director Yuval Diskin stated that Israel will not change its screening process of candidates for military service. In the post-Kamm IDF, religious youths will continue to be grilled about their willingness to expel Jewish Israelis from their homes and radical leftist youths will not be questioned about their loyalty to the state and willingness to keep the IDF’s secrets.

Nothing bursts your bubble faster than an injury. Take a few simple precautions and you’ll rarely — if ever — be sidelined. Increase your runs gradually. Up your running time by no more than 10 percent a week, Holland says. That means if you run a total of 10 miles one week, aim for 11 the next. Shore up the rest of your body. Weak muscles are prime targets for injury. Strengthen them with a biweekly 20-minute strength-training session that targets all your major muscle groups, Holland says. Try the total-body plan at womenshealthmag.com/fitness/total-bodyworkout-8. Stay flexible. “Running makes muscles short and tight, which can compromise your form and cause injury,” Holland says. Stretch after a warmup, then repeat after your run (stretching when your muscles are cold can lead to injury). Stuck Inside On A Treadmill?

After you’ve been running for at least six weeks, add intervals to continue building fitness and shedding pounds. Intervals are short bursts of speed that engage the muscle fibers that make you go fast. (Bonus: Research has shown that sprints trigger a fat-frying response in your muscles.) To do them, warm up for six minutes with an easy jog. Then run faster for 15 to 20 seconds. Slow down to an easy pace for three minutes. Repeat the cycle three to five times, then cool down with a six-minute jog. Do intervals once a week and increase your sprint length by 10 seconds each week until you can go all-out for 80 seconds.

Five Airlines Agree To No Charge For Carry-ons New York - New York Sen. Charles Schumer says five major airlines have agreed they aren’t going to charge passengers for their carry-on bags. chumer said Sunday he’s gotten commitments from American, Delta, JetBlue, United and US Air. He reached out to the companies’ CEOs after Spirit Airlines recently announced it would charge up to $45 for passengers who bring a bag on board and put it in the overhead compartment. The Democratic senator says he hopes other carriers will follow. He says he plans to meet with the leadership of Spirit Airlines in the coming week. Add-on fees have been an important source of revenue for airlines since oil prices soared to an all-time high of $147 a barrel in July 2008. Those fees became a mainstay for airlines’ bottom lines even after fuel prices plunged.

Barkat Bashes British Ban of Tourism Ad Showing Western Wall BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU AND GIL RONEN he British move “shames the people who made it,” Barkat said, “and betrays an ignorance of history. In the future, the Jerusalem Municipality and the State of Israel will continue to publicize Jerusalem's important sites in both eastern and western Jerusalem – with the Kotel at their center.” Britain banned an Israeli Tourism Ministry ad because it "misleads” the public to think that the Western Wall and Temple Mount are part of the country. The publicity was banned by the government advertising regulator. Britain, like the United States and most of the international community, do not recognize Israeli sovereignty over the parts of Jerusalem that were restored to Jewish sovereignty during the 1967 Six-Day War. The "problematic” ad, with the pictures of the holy sites, tells readers that they can "travel the entire length of Israel in six hours.” The Advertising Standards Authority prohibited the advertisement after receiving a complaint that the pictures show sites that are located in the ”occupied territories” and implies they are part of the country. Israeli Tourism Ministry official said the advertisement contains “accurate information.” "The status of the occupied territory of the West Bank [is] the subject of much international dispute, and because we considered that the ad implied that the part of East Jerusalem featured in the image was part of the state of Israel, we concluded that the ad was likely to mislead," the British agency said, as quoted by the London Guardian and

Jewish Chronicle. A remnant from past millennia The Kotel is a remnant of the outer wall of the Temple Mount compound that housed the Jewish Temples for more than 1,000 years, until the year 70 CE. It is the Jewish People's holiest site. When British occupying forces left the Land of Israel in 1948, Jordanian forces overran Jewish defenders in the Old City and took the Temple Mount, but there was never any international recognition of Jordan's sovereignty there. Jordan did not allow Jews into the area. Israel liberated the Old City, including the Temple Mount and Kotel, 19 years later. Israel advocate Dr. Emmanuel Navon commented Wednesday that "East Jerusalem was never part of a sovereign country in modern times. Either you consider Jordan’s 1949 annexation as illegal and illegitimate and then Israel did not conquer a sovereign land in 1967, or you do consider Jordan’s 1949 annexation as legal and legitimate and then Israel’s 1967 annexation is even more so since it was the result of a war of selfdefense and not of aggression."

Kinneret Public Beaches Won’t Be Free Anymore The Union of Kinneret Cities decided that the best way to keep clean the six beaches which were returned to its control recently is to charge admission for them. fter the free beaches were overwhelmed by tens of thousands of visitors over Pessah – who vandalized them and left them covered in trash – the

union embarked on a process of evaluation. Their conclusion: charge NIS 55 for the day and thus encourage the public to use all of the Kinneret's beaches and not just the six free ones. The rest of the beaches are in private hands. The six beaches were recently returned to the local authorities after being removed from private hands.

Jerusalem Botanical Gardens Most major cities boasting a university campus are usually blessed with a botanical garden - an offshoot of the university’s botany research department. As with many things connected to the Hebrew University, in Jerusalem, here, there are two.

and copper gate to the Temple Courtyard. It also serves as the burial place of writer Yehuda Pinsker and Zionist activist Menachem Usishkin. Following the War of Independence and upon the division of Jerusalem, a new garden was established in 1962,

lanting of the garden on Mount Scopus began in 1931, according to a plan prepared by botany department head, Professor Alexander Eig, and it was to display the flora of Israel and adjacent areas. This is also where the Biblical Zoo was first opened. Today, it contains a large collection of wild Israeli plants. The site is the location of a 2000-year old burial cave discovered in 1902, sporting the inscription: “bones of Nicanor of Alexandria who made the gate,” in reference to a wealthy Second Temple Jerusalemite who donated the bronze

adjacent to the Givat Ram Campus, which had been dedicated eight years earlier. This landscaped garden was originally located near the National Library; but the limited size of the garden and the university’s development needs soon required it be moved. In 1985 - 13 years after the original plans were presented - the new garden was opened to the public, initially spread over 16,000 square meters bordering the south-eastern edge of the campus and adjacent to the “avenue of museums” that begins with the Israel Museum opposite the Knesset. Planned by renowned architect Shlomo Aharonson, it was a collaborative effort of the university, the Jerusalem

Jerusalem Botanical Gardens train gives free rides to visitors for a relaxing tour of the gardens.

Municipality, the JNF, the Jerusalem Foundation, the Kaplan Foundation and the specially established Friends of the Botanical Gardens Society. Today, the original North American conifers grove is surrounded by plants from all over the world, arranged in the Australian, Central Asian, Mediterranean, African and European section. In addition there is an herb garden, a tropical house and a nursery. The Gardens harbor the largest living plant collection in Israel – more than 10000 species. Its visitor’s center houses the administration of what is now an independent legal. The Garden’s activities include tours, gardening and botanical courses, children workshops, exhibitions and special events. The article is courtesy of the Jerusalem Tourism Authority.
