Flotilla Leaders Cry Foul, but IDF Continues to Send Aid to Gaza

TERRORIST ABDUCTION PLOT FOILED BY SHIN BET, IDF

Israel’s New Face to the UN: Ambassador Ron Prosor BY CHANA YA'AR A high-stakes joint operation by the IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) has foiled a terrorist plot to kidnap an Israeli soldier and attack other Israeli citizens.

Israeli or Egyptian forces, rarely delivered substantial amounts of goods into Gaza,” the IDF said on its website. Israel maintains a maritime blockade on Hamas-controlled Gaza to allow the Navy to stop the smuggling of missiles and advanced weapons for the use of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist organizations that use Gaza as a launching pad for attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers. The IDF noted that aid from European

t least 20 terrorists were recently arrested on suspicion of planning to kidnap IDF soldiers and shoot Jews in the Jerusalem and Samaria areas. The terrorists, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization, were residents of Ramallah and eastern Jerusalem. Several have prior Israeli arrest and prison records. According to a report broadcast Monday by Voice of Israel government radio, the terrorists had also planned to obtain weapons to carry out suicide bombings at Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. In addition, the terror cell allegedly plotted to murder Arabs suspected of collaborating with Israel. They also planned to kidnap a Palestinian Authority land dealer and hold him for ransom, which they intended to use to fund their activities. One of the terrorists who had been imprisoned in Israel admitted he had served as the PFLP liaison abroad, and

DUTCH LEGISLATORS VOTE TO BAN KOSHER SLAUGHTER BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU The Dutch parliament Tuesday overwhelmingly voted to ban kosher slaughter in the country, but the bill still must pass other hurdles before becoming law. The bill does not affect the import of kosher meat, however, importing meat will be a major financial burden for observant Jews, because of the high cost. he parliament, in a 116-30 vote, ignored an appeal by Holland’s leading rabbis, who called the proposal irrational. The bill includes a loophole but one which would be difficult to use. It states

that ritual slaughtering by Jews, as well as by Muslims, can be permitted if it can be proved that the method is less painful the stunning, demanded by animal rights activists. "This is absolutely impossible to prove. You can't ask the animal how it feels afterwards,” said Chief Rabbi Binyamin Jacobs. The legislators ignored an argument by British Chief Rabbi Jonathan Saks, who visited Holland last week to present evidence that in 10 percent of the cases, stunning actually is more painful than the ritual cutting of an animal’s throat. The bill theoretically would affect the country’s one million Muslims as well as 50,000 Jews, but Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld,

who has been following the issue closely, told Israel National News that large majority of Dutch Muslims do not care whether animals are stunned and then slaughtered according to the halal laws of Islam. Jewish law does not allow the practice. He said that the proposal to ban kosher slaughtering reflects a growing resentment in the Netherlands of the growing Muslim community. Dr. Gerstenfeld also noted that a product of a secularized country, such as Holland, is the emergence of “pseudo-religions.” One of them is the Animal Rights party. It has two seats in the parliament and sponsored the bill.

“Religious freedom stops where human or animal suffering begins,” according to Animal Rights leader Marianne Thieme. The bill must be approved by the Senate and the government’s cabinet before becoming law, which could be appealed to the European court on the grounds that it violates the freedom of religion. The European Parliament last week rejected a demand by animal rights activists that kosher and halal meat be specifically labeled as coming from animals that are not stunned. The Senate cannot defeat the bill, but a rejection would send it back to the parliament. ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM

LAGARDE CHOSEN TO HEAD IMF BY MIL ARCEGA French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde is the International Monetary Fund's new managing director. The 24member IMF Executive Board made the announcement Tuesday, more than a month after Dominique Strauss-Khan resigned after being charged with sexual assault in New York. espite objections from some developing countries, Christine Lagarde emerged as the frontrunner for the IMF's top job. Mexico's central bank chief and rival candidate Agustin Carstens argued against the European candidate, saying the 187-member institution should reflect the changes to the global economy. But the 55year-old former lawyer fought back, launching a whirlwind tour that took her from Brazil to China. "I just had extensive consultation as you

know with the membership that has taken me to many corners of the world to visit with, particularly, emerging markets. It was a good occasion for me to indicate my vision of what the fund should be like going forward," Legarge said. The visits resulted in endorsements this week from the United States, Russia and China - which along with Europe make up the majority of votes on the IMF's Executive Board. Lagarde's appointment is likely to provoke protests from some countries, but international monetary expert Domenico Lombardi says Lagarde's experience gave her the advantage in dealing with the potentially destabilizing effects of the European debt crisis. "And one key factor in guiding this decision is certainly the ability for Christine Lagarde as a European coming from a key euro country to exert pressure, leverage on her European fellow finance ministers in terms of taking a more aggressive stance on

the European crisis," Lombardi said. Lagarde has indicated she would be a strong advocate for developing countries, particularly those in Asia and Africa. Economist Gustavo Bagattini says ultimately, Lagarde's background on the global stage made her the best choice to take over the financial lending institution. "I think there isn't much question that Lagarde will be a very good managing director. She obviously has the experience. She has been involved deeply in the current crisis and pretty much fits the profile of previous managing directors of the IMF who have had similar backgrounds," Bagattini said. Lagarde helped lead negotiations last year that combined European Union and IMF resources to bail out heavily indebted countries such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Her appointment makes her the first woman to lead the IMF since its founding nearly 70 years ago. VOANEWS.COM

JUSTICE MINISTRY: RAV LIOR IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW BY GIL RONEN The Ministry of Justice issued a statement Tuesday justifying the arrest of Rav Dov Lior Monday as he was driving down a highway. o one is above the law,” the Ministry stated, and refused to apologize for what many called an "abduction." The arrest caused fury in the religiousZionist sector, with some demanding an official apology. "The arrest warrant against Rav Lior was

issued a long time ago with the knowledge and approval of the Attorney General, the State Attorney and the Prosecution, after Rav Lior refused to show up for questioning," the statement explained. “In a state where the rule of law prevails, in which presidents, prime ministers, ministers, Knesset Members, religious sages and prominent public figures have been questioned by police, no one is above the law and no one may see himself as exempt from the obligation to show up for police questioning.” “Despite this, there were contacts

between… the office of the Attorney General and various people, and the Rabbi was invited to show up for questioning in a respectable and quiet manner. These attempts received negative responses and so there was no choice but to issue the arrest warrant.” The Ministry expressed its support for Deputy State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan, who has been on the receiving end of much of the nationalist anger. “We regret the repeated attempts to paint the work of an honest, devoted and loyal civil servant like Attorney Nitzan with the brush of politics,” it said.

POLL: PA ARABS WOULD CHANCE CONFRONTATION IF STATE IS DECLARED A poll of Israelis and PA Arabs released Tuesday shows that half of Israelis believe that the chances of the UN recognizing a 23rd Arab state in Judea, Samaria and Yerushalayim were low – but 30% said that if such a state were declared, Israel should immediately begin negotiations with it and if there are none, Israel should not make any changes on the ground. owever, 76% of PA Arabs believe there isn't much to talk about. They said that if an Arab state is recognized in September, the PA must move to impose its sovereignty in all of Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem – even at the cost of ensuing conflict. Among the moves the large majority of PA Arabs would expect from their government would be the stationing of PA soldiers in Area C, which according to the Oslo Accords is supposed to be under full Israeli military and political control, and the con-

struction of a new airport in the Jordan Valley, near Jericho. The PA army should also be prepared to take control of the Allenby Bridge crossing into Jordan, the respondents said. With that, 62% of PA Arabs believe that the chances of a new Arab state being established were low, as even if the General Assembly approves it, the Security Council will not approve it due to the expected

United States veto. Among Israelis, 53% said the chances of such a state being established were low for the same reason. The poll was taken jointly by the Truman Institute of Hebrew University, and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Opinion in Ramallah. The PA will make a final decision on whether to seek statehood on Sunday, PA

sources said. Last week, PA chief Mahmoud Abbas said that 116 out of 192 UN member states were prepared to vote to approve PA statehood. Quartet member countries plan to meet with Abbas in two weeks in a last-ditch effort to convince him against seeking a UN vote on a PA state. ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM

KNESSET TARGETED BY HACKERS While Israel has allegedly been happy to dispense hack attacks in the past… we doubt it will be as happy to be on the receiving end of decentralized computer warfare," was the announcement that appeared Tuesday on the AnonOps blog which is known to be connected to the Anonymous group. he announcement went on to state that their latest target was "none other than the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset" and that the expected attack would be "over the next 24 hours".

Anonymous is an amorphous organization that comes together through an online community. It has no known leadership structure and though some of its members engage in hacking, not everyone who classifies themselves as members of Anonymous are hackers. Yet it was Anonymous who brought "activism" or hacking for social purposes to into public consciousness. Last year Anonymous hackers attacked websites connected with copyrighting as part of their struggle against the antiquated concept; credit card companies that abandoned

Anonymous when an investigation was launched against them in the US and most recently – Sony's Playstation. Last week Anonymous and LulzSec, another activism group announced a campaign to hit global governments. It seems their first target has been selected – and it's Israel. What Israel's Tehila - the body responsible for securing governmental computerization systems will do is anyone's guess. The Finance Ministry which is responsible for Tehila activities has yet to comment.

'MUSLIM MICKEY' CAUSES A FUROR IN EGYPT BY DAVID LEV While Hamas had no problem drafting Mickey Mouse – thinly disguised as “Farfur” the mouse – to indoctrinate toddlers in Gaza to join the jihad against Israel, Muslims in Egypt have called a boycott against the Christian Copt owner of a communications company who “insulted” Islam by dressing Mickey up in Muslim garb. ifteen lawyers are suing businessman Naguib Sawiris for publicizing a photo of Mickey Mouse wearing a white robe and a beard, together with an image of

______________________ "If you’re a real Muslim... boycott his (Sawiris’) products if you love your religion. We have to cut the tongue of any person who attacks our religion.” ______________________ Minnie Mouse wearing a full-face veil. The lawyers, along with dozens of Muslim clerics, have called for Egyptians to cut their contracts with Sawiris' Mobinil and Orascom cellphone companies.

Islamists, many from the ultraconservative Salafi sect, have opened numerous Facebook pages calling for a boycott. "If you’re a real Muslim ... boycott his (Sawiris’) products if you love your religion. We have to cut the tongue of any person who attacks our religion,” says the page of one group. Other groups, with titles like “We Hate You Mickey Sawiris,” have garnered thousands of page views for their sites. In a television interview, top Muslim cleric Mazen el-Sersawi accused Sawaris of fomenting tension between Muslims and Coptic Christians, who have clashed on numerous occasions in recent months, leaving dozens wounded and several dead. "How can a man like this make fun of Muslims, in a country on the brink of sectarian discord," el-Sersawi

said in the interview. Sawaris, for his part, issued an apology via his Twitter account, writing, "I apologize for those who don’t take this as a joke. I just thought it was a funny picture; no disrespect meant! I’m sorry.” Speaking Sunday at a meeting of political activists, Sawaris added, "We should not limit Islam to a beard or veil.” The apology has not calmed tensions, however, and a protest outside Orascom headquarters is planned for later this week. Naguib Sawaris' family is considered one of the wealthiest in Egypt. Sawaris was very active in the campaign to oust Hosni Mubarak; an avowed secularist, he founded the Free Egyptian political party, which plans to run in the upcoming elections.

They added, “To date, the Prime Minister's office has received dozens of questions from Arab web users. Most respondents expressed support for peace with Israel and are interested in understand-

BILIN'S NEXT BATTLE: SETTLEMENT After the IDF's dismantled the security/separation fence running through Bilin, residents of the West Bank village have decided to adopt a new battle. he Popular Committee of Bilin will replace its weekly anti-fence protests, which took place every Friday, with the construction of new structures on the land added to the village when the fence was dismantled last week. Around 170 acres of land were added to the village with the removal of the fence. It is on this land that the residents plan to construct a new neighborhood, called West Bilin. Organizers of the protests against the fence are still fuming, however, at the fact that some 330 acres allegedly belonging to the village remain inaccessible, because they lie to the west of the wall that surrounds

US SENATE COMMITTEE APPROVES OBAMA ACTION ON LIBYA The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee has approved a resolution that would give President Barack Obama limited authority to continue the U.S. role in the military intervention in Libya. he measure, approved by a vote of 145 Tuesday, authorizes U.S. involvement in NATO operations for one year, but prevents the use of American ground troops in the conflict. The resolution, introduced by Democratic Senator John Kerry

and Republican Senator John McCain, also specifies the U.S. will not invest in reconstruction. Both Kerry and McCain said it is important not to abandon the U.S. mission, saying Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi is close to losing his grip on power. But the Libya resolution failed to pass in the House of Representatives last week. A number of Republicans and Democrats are angry with the president for failing to seek congressional authorization to intervene

in Libya. Some lawmakers accuse Mr. Obama of violating the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which requires approval within 60 days when U.S. forces are involved in hostilities. But Mr. Obama says the three-month-old Libya campaign does not constitute “hostilities,” so congressional approval is not needed. A top U.S. government lawyer Tuesday defended Mr. Obama's stance, saying the administration is acting “lawfully.”

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, State Department legal adviser Harold Koh said the situation in Libya does not constitute a war requiring specific congressional approval under the Constitution. He argued that because of its limited nature, U.S. military support for the NATOled mission against Mr. Gadhafi's forces does not fall under the 1973 War Powers Resolution. VOANEWS.COM

FLOTILLA LEADERS CRY FOUL, BUT IDF CONTINUES TO SEND AID TO GAZA

EDITORIAL AND EXECUTIVE OFFICES

Continued from Cover convoys to Gaza has continuously been transferred overland in an orderly way without the violence that characterized last year’s IHHbacked flotilla. After Navy commandos prevented the ships from sailing to Gaza, the boats were led to the port in Ashdod, where it was discovered that the IHH’s Mavi Marmara ship was not carrying any aid at all. The 2010 Gaza flotilla’s five other ships arrived with only 20 truckloads worth of goods, including expired medication. Before the ships left ports for Gaza, a flotilla organizer said the real aim was to Isolate Israel in the international community. In contrast, the European convoy “Miles of Smiles 3” last month arrived at the Rafiah land crossing at the Egyptian border. “The convoy’s ten European human rights organizations transferred 30 tons of medical supplies, 12 ambulances, baby food, and wheelchairs to Gaza by coordinating efforts with the Egyptian Red Crescent,” the IDF stated. It added, “The transfer of goods and materials did not entail violence because the organizers focused on delivering supplies, rather than delegitimizing Israel through a violent confrontation.” The IDF explained how to donate to Gaza Arabs by contacting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The Coordination and Communication Headquarters of the Gaza Strip coordinated the transfer of a truckload of food into the Gaza Strip that was specifically for a 100 person family in the northern Gaza Strip. The food supply was blocked due to the security situation in the area for several days. Then the truck was unloaded on Israeli territory and the transport as carried out by IDF forces, who unloaded the food near the houses of the family's residence. This was a cooperative effort between the head of the family and IDF forces.

Last year, Israel changed its more limited

policy and allowed all goods to enter Gaza after being checked, except for dual-use products, which undergo a review to make sure they will not be used for the Hamas terrorist infrastructure and weapons. ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM

ISRAEL URGES GAZA FLOTILLA TO RE-ROUTE WILL UPHOLD ANTI-SMUGGLING SECURITY BLOCKADE Israel has warned that extremists with terrorist links are among some 500 participants planning to breach the security blockade of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in a flotilla organized by the Free Gaza movement. n a briefing on Monday, senior military officials said some members of IHH, the extremist Turkish group that provoked the violence in last year’s flotilla when nine of their own supporters were killed, were planning to join this year’s voyage despite an official decision to pull out. The officials said that two of the activists with known ties to Hamas are Amin Abu Rashad, former head of a Hamas-linked charity in Holland that was closed by the government

there for financing terror, and Mohammad Hannoun of the Italian ABSPP foundation, which is also involved in financing terror. Some extremists have been heard threatening “to spill the blood” of IDF soldiers. Chemicals including sulfur have been smuggled aboard ships carrying French and American passengers. "This is a dramatic development," a defense official told the Israeli daily Haaretz. "The picture emerging here is that some of the flotilla participants clearly intend a violent clash." Israel says it will stop the flotilla in order to maintain the legal sea cordon around Gaza to prevent arms smuggling. In the past, Israel has intercepted several shipments of weapons from Iran and Syria before they could reach Gaza. The U.S. State Department branded the

S P O N S O R E D B Y:

flotilla “irresponsible and provocative” and warned its citizens they could be arrested for “conspiring to deliver material support” to Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. The Israeli security cabinet on Monday approved IDF plans to intercept the flotilla. Israel has urged the flotilla organizers to re-route any supplies via Ashdod in Israel or El-Arish in Egypt so they can be checked before being transferred overland to Gaza. Israel says there is no need for the flotilla to land in Gaza, where food, water, medicine, clothing and other supplies are in plentiful supply. In a statement, ministers said that Israel “will be determined to prevent the arrival of the flotilla to Gaza, with as little amount of friction as possible with the passengers of the ships.”

Jerusalem Mayor Volunteers Jewish Man Beaten by Arab Mob in Jerusalem Alongside Birthright Participants, IDF Soldiers to Beautify City BY CHANA YA'AR

A 27-year-old Jewish man was yanked out of his car and beaten by an Arab mob Sunday afternoon in a Jerusalem neighborhood, according to police.

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat joined over 100 participants of Taglit-Birthright Israel, dozens of IDF soldiers, and residents of the Katamon neighborhood of Jerusalem in a volunteer operation to clean up and repaint Jerusalem. ayor Barkat joined the group on Bar Yochai Street last week as participants from the U.S. joined the local residents and IDF soldiers in repainting a building that suffered from a fire over a year ago. Participants also cleaned up the street, sidewalk, and gardens surrounding the building which houses dozens of elderly residents of Jerusalem. The clean-up operation marked 900,000 hours of community service by Taglit-Birthright Israel. Mayor Barkat commended Taglit-Birthright Israel for their sense of social responsibility in remarks to the participants from abroad, IDF soldiers, and residents. Addressing the volunteers, Barkat said, “I am happy to see so many of you here from around the world giving back to the community, hand in hand with soldiers of the IDF, the residents of Jerusalem and the municipality.” He expressed hope that the visitors would “learn Jerusalem, walk Jerusalem, explore Jerusalem, and do Jerusalem.” “ Of course,” the mayor added, “I know you will love Jerusalem.

They do not mind kicking him around,” he said. “But as long as it is Germans or even Faber – they call him a German national, they are very, very careful.” The Dutch are making a final push to put Klaas Carel Faber behind bars.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has responded to the country's unprecedented anti-government protests by offering some concessions, including lifting the state of emergency in place since 1963, releasing hundreds of political detainees and reshuffling the government. Syria blames the unrest on "armed extremist groups" which aim at toppling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and establishing an Islamic emirate instead.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) late last month unveiled the nine graphic health warnings required to appear on every pack of cigarettes sold in the United States and in every cigarette advertisement. Officials believe that this bold measure will help prevent children from smoking, encourage adults who do to quit, and ensure every American understands the dangers of smoking. he warnings represent the most significant changes to cigarette labels in more than 25 years and will affect everything from packaging to advertisements and are required to be placed on all cigarette packs, cartons and ads no later than September 2012. “President Obama is committed to protecting our nation’s children and the American people from the dangers of tobacco use.

Agudath Israel Decries “Capitulation” of NYS Legislature on Gay Marriage

NEW YORK

New York State Approves Same-Sex Marriage

“AN ORWELLIAN REDEFINITION”: RABBI ZWIEBEL Friday night’s decision in Albany that New York State will follow the example of five other states, the District of Columbia and an Indian tribe in Oregon and will issue marriage licenses to couples of the same gender was denounced by Agudath Israel of America as a “capitulation to a lamentable contemporary Zeitgeist.” he national Orthodox Jewish organization’s executive vice-president, Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, warned that the legislation not only decrees “an ‘Orwellian’ redefinition of marriage” in the Empire State but endangers the religious rights of

religious organization’s employment policies? “What is more, the law offers no protection whatsoever to religious individuals. If a wedding-hall owner or baker considers a same-sex ceremony to violate his or her sincere religious convictions and opts to not provide services to a same-sex couple, that will, outrageously, constitute a violation of state law.” Asks Rabbi Zwiebel: “Since when are individuals less entitled to religious liberty protection than organizations and institutions?” Over recent weeks, Agudath Israel mobi-

BY VICTORIA CAVALIERE New York has legalized same sex marriage, making it the sixth U.S state to do so. Gay rights advocates call the vote a major victory in their quest for equality. he New York State Senate approved the legislation Friday night by a vote of 33 to 29, as four Republican lawmakers crossed party lines and voted in favor of the bill. Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had pushed for the bill, quickly signed the legislation into law meaning, pending court challenges, same sex couples can begin legally marrying in New York in 30 days. "New York made a powerful statement, not just for the people of New York, but [also for] the people all across this nation. We reached a new level of social justice this evening," Cuomo said. New York could become a destination for same sex couples wanting to legally marry because the state has no residency requirement for obtaining a marriage license. Gay rights advocates filled the statehouse in Albany Friday night to celebrate the historic legislation, with many couples saying they were already planning their weddings. New York, with a population of almost 20 million people, is by far the largest U.S. state to approve same-sex marriage and a major gay pride parade is scheduled for New York City on Sunday. In Manhattan, gay rights advocates gathered at bars and restaurants to watch the vote and celebrate its passage. Jason Carson said now gay couples will have the same choices and protections afforded straight couples. "Now, anybody who wants to get married in the state can," said Carson. "It was always a civil rights issue and now the choice is theirs."

Protest of Jews For Morality agains gay marriage. Orthodox Jews and other traditionalists. Although the legislation includes certain limited protections for religious organizations and educational institutions, the Agudath Israel leader said that “unfortunately, in the realm of the practical, granting religious organizations permission to act in accordance with the tenets of their faiths – who would have ever thought that such ‘concession’ would ever be necessary in a free country? – is insufficient to protect New Yorkers’ religious rights. “For one thing, while the law permits religious groups to not recognize same-sex marriages with regard to their employment policies and employees’ benefits, it does

Why wasn’t the same protection against penalty also made available with respect to a

lized New York members of its constituency – New York’s population includes the largest concentration of Orthodox Jews in the country – to let their legislators know their views on the matter of redefining marriage. In addition, organizational officials spent several days in Albany meeting with key legislators and government leaders. Agudath Israel also laid out for members of the New York State Assembly and Senate the moral case against redefining marriage; forwarded a statement signed by Agudath Israel and five other Orthodox Jewish groups (Central Rabbinical Congress of the U.S.A. and Canada, National Council of Young Israel, Rabbinical Alliance of America, Rabbinical Council of America, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America) expressing the unanimous conviction of Orthodoxy in support of traditional marriage; and circulated a comprehensive analysis, by six law academics, of how a redefinition of marriage without adequate safeguards, would conflict with religious liberties. Religious rights ramifications aside, Rabbi Zwiebel averred that “the passage of this law tragically illustrates how flimsy the notion of ‘morality’ is in a secular society. “What was once universally acknowledged as a deviant lifestyle is now granted the name marriage – just as what was once considered murder is today simply a woman’s constitutionally protected ‘right’ to ‘reproductive freedom.’ When moral standards are disconnected from the eternal truths of Sinai, they have no permanence or value. “Let us use this shocking development to remind at least ourselves, as believing Jews, that right and wrong are determined not by partisan politicians but by humankind’s Creator.”

This was not the first time gay marriage had come up for a vote in New York. Last year the measure passed the Assembly, but failed to move through the Senate. This year, Republicans in both chambers pushed for more legal protections for religious groups that object to gay marriage or do not wish to perform the ceremony. Opponents of the measure had also spent the last week in Albany trying to persuade lawmakers to abandon the bill. New York's Archbishop Timothy Dolan derided the measure saying it sought to redefine the definition of marriage, which he says is solely

One lawmaker who voted against the measure, Senator Ruben Diaz, told the Senate he could not change his stance on what he believes is the definition of a marital union. "G-d, not man, has set the definition of marriage a long time ago," said Diaz. Advocates say the new law is also historic because more conservative Republican lawmakers were able to move across party lines and strike an agreement with Democrats on a major piece of legislation.

WAR ON TERROR

WAR ON TERROR CAIR Loses IRS Status Donations to the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations (CAIR) no longer are tax deductible after the organization was among 275,000 tax-exempt organizations purged last month by the Internal Revenue Service. he groups failed to file required annual reports, known as form 990s, detailing their revenues and expenses, for three consecutive years. CAIR had been a non-profit on its own, but in 2007, the IRS approved a separate tax-exempt CAIR Foundation. The foundation never filed any subsequent reports. Both the foundation and CAIR national are on the purge list. CAIR has 30 state chapters throughout the country, many of which have their own non-profit designations which remain active. While the IRS believes most of the organizations stripped of status have shut down, those still operating can apply for reinstatement. Meanwhile, CAIR's web site continues to solicit donations by touting them as tax deductible two weeks after the

Donors still could deduct the money on their tax returns if CAIR is reinstated between now and April 15. All the purged organizations have 15 months to seek reinstatement. But it is unclear whether CAIR will file the required papers or whether their explanation about past reporting failures will be enough to satisfy the IRS. "This listing should have little, if any, impact on donors who previously made deductible contributions to auto-revoked organizations because donations made prior

to the publication of an organization's name on the list remain tax-deductible," an IRS statement said. "Going forward, however, organizations that are on the auto-revocation list that do not receive reinstatement are no longer eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions, and any income they receive may be taxable." To regain its exempt status, CAIR must file the missing three annual reports, along with a new application for exempt status. Finally, it must explain why it failed to file the 990s for three consecutive years and explain any new procedures which will ensure future compliance. The annual reports include financial information on donations and other sources of income, operating expenses and names and payments given to directors and key staff members. The CAIR Foundation won exempt status in 2007 and then never filed any annual reports. That year, the Washington Times reported that CAIR's membership plummeted by 90 percent, from a high of 29,000 people in 2000 to less than 1,700 in 2006. CAIR vehemently denied the report when it was issued. But a year later, when the organization sought to have its name removed from a list of unindicted co-conspirators in a Hamas-financing prosecution, CAIR attorneys tied the diminishing support to the 2007 co-conspirator list. "Furthermore, the amount of donations that they have been receiving has dwindled well below their monthly budget, and as their associational activity necessarily relies upon donations from the public, the government's labeling of them as an unindicted co-conspirator has chilled their associational activity." Anecdotal information indicates the

They eat, drink, study, enjoy excellent conditions. It's shocking.” The government could free Gilad Shalit by taking simple steps to make prison less pleasant for terrorist inmates, the official explained, adding, “I'm saying this from experience.” Israel's enemies believe time to be on their side, he said.

Meat, Cigarettes, and 12 TV stations

Continued on page 38 The official listed some of the privileges granted to terrorist inmates in Israel. Terrorists are granted three hours a day to wander the premises, where they socialize together and even play games. The prison provides ping-pong tables, basketball courts, soccer fields and backgammon sets. Terrorist prisoners receive meat and fish on holidays, and are allowed to purchase 1,200 shekels worth of food each month in the prison canteen. Many buy meat, soda, candy, cigarettes and similar items. Most prisoners apparently get money to buy luxury items from the terrorist groups they represent, the source said. "Did you see how Samir Kuntar went back to Lebanon? Puffed up like a balloon, and it's no surprise,” he added. “They enjoy good meals all day, with all the extras. You know what? A prisoner like that, when he gets released and returns to Gaza, his quality of life drops. "Courts. Did you know they appeal every day? Hundreds of appeals each year. Maybe more,” the official continued. The appeals are funded by Israeli taxpayers, he said.

Pictured: One of the many amenities available to terrorists serving time in Israeli “prisons.” The prisoners each have a television set in their cell that receives 12 channels. The channels include programming in Arabic. According to the official, some of the Arabic-language programming includes stations hostile to Israel—provided at taxpayer expense. Inmates are allowed to keep personal items in their cell, including the food and cigarettes they purchase, large quantities of books and more. They are allowed to pursue academic studies, and many complete degree programs while in jail. “Whoever wants a degree just has to kill a Jew or carry out an attack. He'll get a degree, live like a king on the Israel taxpayer's dime, until he gets released in the next deal.” While terrorists are supposed to be separated from visitors by a sheet of glass, in reality they are allowed to see their young children in person. Their families bring blankets and other items from home. Female terrorists are allowed to keep very young children with them in prison.

No Need to Violate Conventions With all the above privileges, terrorists have no need to hurry, the official concluded. “Why rush? Time is on their side, and the conditions are excellent.” Only if all the privileges are canceled and Israel provides terrorists with nothing more than basic living conditions and visits with the Red Cross will terrorist groups “understand there's a price” and work to exchange terrorists for Shalit, he said. “If you end their visitation, cancel the special food, cut them off from the media, it'll set Gaza on fire within two weeks.” Israel can significantly reduce the quality of life in its prisons without violating international agreements, the official said. “We've held discussions about this. It's true.” Cutting privileges could lead to prisoner violence, “but we can deal with that,” he said. Dichter: We're not terrorists Public Security Minister Avi Dichter's publicist responded to the Maariv report and rejected the official's call to cancel privileges. “The state of Israel is not a terrorist organization. Israel must act according to international agreements.” ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM

Elbit Tests New Mobile Control Unit for Israel’s Skylark Drone New mobile control system will increase operational efficiency for forces operating in the field Elbit Systems completed a series of successful tests last month on its Skylark I-LE unmanned aerial drone using the Dominator command and control system. The system will allow infantry forces to operate the mini-drone with maximum operational efficiency. kylark drones are operational in the IDF and in several foreign militaries. The drones have seen battlefield action in several war zones, including Iraq and Afghanistan. The new mobile control unit is an answer to the realities that forces face on modern battlefields. The mobile operating unit's light weight and small size allows forces to carry out complex missions with increased operational flexibility. The new mobile control unit is 15 kilograms lighter than the existing control system and includes a computer, a hand-held display, a joystick and a Skylark Rambo transducer. For more sensitive missions and for missions requiring greater mobility, an eyepiece can be used instead of the hand-held display. The Skylark drone is designed to gather intelligence for "over the next hill" missions. The drone is exceptionally quiet and

The Dominator system was designed for the unit level and the individual soldier, giving forces the ability to control the battlefield by increasing situational awareness and the ability to transmit information. Forces can send and receive critical data in real-time, view updated intelligence on individual screens and watch video being transmitted from various sensors in the field or from soldiers. With the system, information and pictures can be sent to the command post or to other forces in the field. WWW.IDF.IL

Israel’s New Face to the Pro-Israel Conservative International Community: Favorite Michele Bachmann Launches U.S. Presidential Bid UN Ambassador Ron Prosor BY JIM MALONE Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has formally launched her campaign for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. Bachmann is not the best known Republican running for president for next year, but she does have a growing national following among conservative voters who are looking for an alternative to the current front runner, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. ichele Bachmann kicked off her presidential campaign in the town where she was born, Waterloo, Iowa. “We can win in 2012 and we will win!” she exclaimed. Bachmann has been elected to Congress three times from neighboring Minnesota, but her Iowa roots could help her next year when Iowa begins the presidential nominating process with its presidential party caucuses, now set for February. Polls indicate close run with Romney Bachmann got some good news in the latest Des Moines Register poll that found her nearly tied with Mitt Romney for the top choice among Iowa Republicans. Romney had 23 percent support followed closely by Bachmann at 22 percent. The rest of the Republican field lagged behind. Bachmann hopes to capitalize on her support among two key Republican voting groups in the race for the 2012 nomination, social conservatives and Tea Party activists pushing for a smaller central government. “Government thinks they know better how to make a better life for us. They think they create jobs. They even think they can make us healthier. But that is not the case. We have to recapture the founder’s vision of a constitutionally conservative government if we are to secure the promise for the future,” she said. Like many other Republican presidential

Michele Bachmann candidates, Bachmann contends the image of the United States around the world has declined under the leadership of President Barack Obama. “And we cannot afford four more years of a foreign policy with a president who leads from behind and who does not stand up for our friends like Israel, and who too often fails to stand against our enemies," she stated. "We cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama!” Political experts say Bachmann made a strong showing at the most recent Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire and the latest poll results suggest she has vaulted into the top tier of candidates that includes Mitt Romney. Some of Bachmann’s gain may be coming at the expense of former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty. He was seen by many analysts as a potentially strong contender when he first got into the race. Nominee, still too early to call. But Michele Bachmann’s early bump in the polls and her proven ability to raise campaign funds should make her a formidable candidate in a crowded Republican presidential field.

Israeli Contractor Sees Prices, and Buildings, Collapsing BY ORI CHUDY Talk of a slowdown at contractors' sales offices is becoming grounded in official figures. Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics reports a steady drop in home sales in recent months. Remarks by contractors and developers this week further highlight the difficulties at their sales offices, and may signal a halt in the rise in prices. oni Mizrachi, the owner and CEO of Mizrachi & Sons Ltd., which has been in business for over 40 years, agrees that buyers are now waiting, in the belief that prices will likely fall in the nottoo-distant future. He also offers pessimistic forecasts about building retrofitting plans against earthquakes.

New York Rent Guidelines Board Votes to Raise Leases

It’s D-day for some 1 million New York City tenants who now know just how much more it will cost them to live in their rentstabilized apartments. he Rent Guidelines Board made its final determination Monday night on how much landlords can raise their rates. One-year leases will go up 3.75 percent and two-year leases 7.25 percent,. It’s political hot potato every year, but in this economy, with everyone being squeezed with higher costs for everything, the Rent Guidelines Board was under pressure from both tenants and landlords to hear their pleas, take their side. Tenants were on the warpath, demanding that the board limit increases in these tough economic times.

BORO PARK BODY SHOP ACCUSED OF FRAUD D.A. Indicts Owner, Employee of “Perfect Collision” as Detectives Seize $700,000 in Cash

Elie Berger It appears that the local repair shop “Perfect Collision” may have engaged in not-so-perfect collusion. Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes announced last Thursday an indictment charging the auto body shop with intentionally damaging cars brought in for repairs, so it could submit inflated bills to insurance companies. erfect Collision; its owner, Elie Berger; and his employee, Hershy Greenberger are charged with running a so-called “damage enhancement scheme” to over bill insurance companies by thousands of dollars.

Photos of the car before and after the additional damage was inflicted. In the indictment announced late last week, the defendants are charged with submitting inflated bills for repairs to a car insured by Geico, but prosecutors believe additional insurance companies and carriers may have been victimized as well. The investigation is continuing.

“These crooks thought they had found the ‘Perfect’ crime, but my Detective Investigators quickly put the brakes on, preventing another bogus collision.” said District Attorney Hynes. “Auto-insurance fraud costs Brooklyn residents hundreds of

thousands of dollars each year in increased premiums, and my office will prosecute all such crimes to the fullest extent of the law. I would like to thank Geico, Esurance, and the National Insurance Crimes Bureau for their assistance in this investigation.” To investigate Geico’s suspicion about Perfect Collision, KCDA Detective Investigators damaged a car’s front passenger-side fender, photographed the damage and brought the car to Perfect Collision.

EU to Confirm Mideast Peace Conference Plans for July BY NICOLE HORRELT

the launch of it in 2008. Israel is a member of the Union for the Mediterranean. The conference yet to be confirmed that is being planned for Paris in July, is an effort to stave off Palestinian bid for statehood before the UN in September. Both France and High Representative Catherine Ashton have warned that they might vote in favor of it, but would rather not. Israel is aware of the EU's plans, and all possible wider goals, and must face the difficult choice posed at this critical time. While the declaration of a Palestinian state at the UN in September would carry diplomatic weight and enable further steps in favor for their side, it would hold no legal meaning.

Member states of the European Union

European Leaders held a summit last week in Brussels, after which they released a statement backing a conference in Paris, "to provide economic support for the construction of the Palestinian state in the framework of a re-launched peace process." rench President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking to the press following the Brussels summit said there was an agreement to back the French initiative for a peace conference, although the EU statement stopped short of confirming that the peace conference being planned for July was indeed being transformed for this wider initiative. Sarkozy expanded on the 'wider goal' in bringing the Israeli and Palestinian leaders together, describing the French initiative as being "a Paris conference, a peace initiative between Palestinians and Israelis,” adding that “this initiative will enable Europe to have a joint position." The EU Council meeting held June 24 in Brussels concerning Mideast peace was summarized in their statement entitled, "Declaration on the Southern Neighborhood." Regarding Mideast peace, the declaration emphasized "in light of fundamental changes across the Arab world,” the “need for progress on the Middle East Peace Process, and to overcome the current stalemate." The European Council in its declaration called on all parties to engage urgently in negotiations and called for the resumption of direct negotiations, commending the efforts in this regard by the Quartet, EU Member States and the High Representative. President Obama's recent proposals, in line with previous EU positions to base talks upon the '67 lines were welcomed. The declaration put forth by the council also stated its full support for the High Representative's call for the Quartet to create “a credible perspective for the re-launching of the peace process as a matter of urgency,” and called on all parties to “abstain from unilateral actions

Other members Observer members

Members of the Union for the Mediterranean not conducive to a comprehensive solution.” The first two sections (out of eight in total, the eighth being the Mideast Peace process and call for a conference in Paris) of the Declaration involve The European Council “endorsing the new approach to relations with the European Union's neighbourhood as set out in the EU Council's conclusions of 20 June 2011,” welcoming steps being taken towards a democratic transformation in the region, and welcoming “the G8 support for the democratic transformation of Europe's Southern neighbourhood; underlining once again the importance of the Union for the Mediterranean, and the importance of rapidly launching concrete and significant projects within the framework of the UfM.” These political concepts are familiar in Europe, but in North America and for many in the Middle East they are foreign, and confusing. The “European Neighborhood” referred to in section one of the “Declaration on the Southern Neighborhood,” refers to “The

French President Nicolas Sarkozy proposed the Union. European Neighbourhood Policy” (ENP) which according to the official website of the EU was developed in 2004, “with the objective of avoiding the emergence of new dividing lines between the enlarged EU and our neighbours and instead strengthening the prosperity, stability and security of all.” It's framework is proposed to consist of 16 of the EU's closest neighbors – Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, Occupied Palestinian Territory (sic), Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine. The EU's European Neighborhood incentive plan is devised to offer financial and trade incentives for member states on a “more for more” basis (i.e. more funds for more reform). The ENP, is primarily a bilateral policy between the EU and each member nation, and is further backed by regional and multilateral co-operation initiatives, such as the Union for the Mediterranean. The Union for the Mediterranean is based upon the Barcelona Process, with Mideast Peace as its aim. Nicolas Sarkozy is behind

Theologians will note 'G-d's Declaration' regarding Jerusalem, which warns against the division of the Holy City and warns against attempts at taking it out of Jewish hands. (Zechariah 12: 1-3) As of the time of this writing (June 27), plans for the Paris Conference were still yet to be confirmed; French Foreign Affairs Minister Alain Juppe said that the initiative to hold an Israeli-Palestinian summit in Paris "is not dead." According to Juppe, the Palestinians agreed to attend the conference in planning and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not refused to attend. The Foreign Minister said that the final decision on the summit will be made during an upcoming Quartet conference in the beginning of July.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL

The Gay Marriage “Crisis” Let me tell you the problem I have with gay pride parades. It’s not the “gay” part; it’s the “pride” part. I can understand taking pride in one’s culture, one’s religion, or one’s chosen career. I’m not even saying that one’s sexual orientation should be cause for shame – simply that it doesn’t warrant pride of any sort. s a straight male, I take no pride in being attracted to the opposite sex. I’m also left-handed. Where’s the Leftie Pride Parade? My point is that one’s sexual orientation just is, and if you hold the politically-correct position that one’s orientation is an innate human characteristic with which one is born (like left or right-handedness), there is no volitional element at all. So what are we celebrating, then? Gay history? Gay culture? Am I the only one who thinks that “celebrations” of sexuality should be, at the very least, kept behind closed doors? If New York held a “Straight Pride Parade,” wherein the behavior of participants was every bit as licentious as that of the Gay Pride March, it would be every bit as offensive. Aren’t there folks in the LGBT community who are disturbed by this? To

_____________________ “If religious groups that only recognize the traditional (read: authentic) definition of marriage (i.e. that it exists between man and woman) are in any way compelled to perform or recognize homosexual marriage, that is a clear violation of the Constitution.” _____________________ paraphrase a stand-up comedian I once heard (and incidentally, this was at a club in the Village), “No, it’s not a choice to be gay. But it is a choice to be flaming.” By the time you’re dancing, body painted, half-naked, down the streets of Manhattan, a few choices have definitely been made. Choices made, we would argue, in very poor taste. Personally, it strikes me as degrading for a base their whole identity on which type of anatomy they’re attracted to. If people wish to debase themselves thus, that’s their right – but please, don’t shove our faces in it. Of course, the real issue du jour is the same-sex marriage legislation that, just a few days ago, cleared both houses of the New York State Legislature. Those directly affected by the new law are literally dancing (fabulously, no doubt) in the streets. But what does it all mean for the rest of us? Look, if certain religious groups wish to condone and perform same-sex marriages, that's their business. We as Jews or as conservatives may not agree with it, but this is America, where a person is free to express himself so long as his or her choice of expression does not infringe upon the rights of others. But, if religious groups that only recognize the traditional (read: authentic) definition of marriage (i.e. that it exists between man and woman) are in any way compelled to perform or recognize homosexual marriage, that is a clear violation of the

Editor,

Constitution. The government has no right to make any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Where do I get that from? How about the part where it says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ” (for those of you who slept through your high school Civics class, that’s the First Amendment). Ergo, traditional Jews, Christians, and Muslims have every right to abstain from performing such ceremonies and absolutely should not be punished for doing so, be it through a denial of federal funding for which they would otherwise have been eligible, or be it through lawsuits by individuals attempting to force their views upon a religious community. We can’t help but suspect that in the very near future there will be a gay couple attempting to force the issue with their local church/mosque/synagogue/temple, and it wouldn’t surprise us if such a case made it all the way to the Supreme Court. Because for some, it isn't enough to have a recognized "civil union" with the same material benefits as marriage. Some feel, that as a matter of human rights their relationship merits the label of "marriage." Why wouldn't the same line of thinking convince someone that this "marriage" then needs to be sanctioned by their religion of choice, whether or not said religion expressly forbids it? Then you have government dictating to religion what its teachings are - and that's when you have a problem. Note that none of this is a comment on homosexuality itself. Marriage is a religious institution, and the government ought to have no place in regulating it. Our solution to the “gay marriage problem”? I propose a new constitutional amendment (really just a specific application of the first) that henceforth the government shall have no role in regulating any kind of marriage, gay, straight, or other. From here on out, couples would register their "civil union" with the local government, and to get married, you'd go to your local rabbi, priest, minister, imam, or what have you. Then people of all sexual orientations could get their civil unions and be on equal footing with everyone else vis-à-vis the government. And if they want to get married, they simply have to belong to a faith that espouses their interpretation of marriage. Most importantly of all, it would be fair. Why has nobody thought to do this? Under this new law, no one's civil rights (real or imagined) are being trampled, gay and straight people would be treated equally under the law, and the government would no longer be meddling in matters of religion, which according to the First Amendment are none of their business to begin with! Problem solved! You're welcome, America.

Delta Flies to Saudi Arabia: Jews Not Welcome BY PAMELA GELLER Delta Air Lines is adding Saudi Arabian Airlines to its SkyTeam Alliance. This will make it easier for Americans to fly to Saudi Arabia – unless you’re Jewish. Saudi law bans Jews from entering Saudi Arabia, and Delta’s partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines requires it to accept that law. That means if you’re Jewish or hold a passport from Israel and try to get on a flight to Jeddah out of New York or Washington, Delta employees will stop you. audi Arabia is not the only country in the Middle East that forbids people with Israeli passports, as well as people who have simply visited Israel, from entering. Lebanon, Syria, Iran and others don’t let Jews in, either. So Delta is respecting the entry regulations of Saudi Arabia, not adopting consciously discriminatory policies against Jews. But these rules are not worthy of respect, and no U.S. company should accommodate them. It is illegal in the United States to dis-

criminate on the basis of religion, and that’s the only law that Delta should respect. And so Colby M. May, director and senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, said that his group was going to take action: “As we learn more about the issue and facts, we are determined to ensure that American citizens do not face discrimi-

We will be communicating our position with members of Congress, the State Department and Delta Air Lines to ensure that the rights of American citizens are protected.” If Delta airlines can adopt the “no Jews” policy of a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia, would it not be fitting, and in the spirit of reciprocity and mutual respect, to adopt a “no Muslims” policy on certain airlines? Lord knows, travel would be so much easier and enjoyable again, and cheaper (with security costs dramatically cut). And we certainly would have no need for the TSA. Once we accept these racist Sharia-compliant regulations, it is a slippery slope. The

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is doing just that, forcing American companies to give special break times to Muslim workers for prayers, and inconveniencing the non-Muslim workers who have to work longer hours to make up for the Muslims’ special breaks. A federal judge awarded 1.35 million dollars to Somali Muslims. The gripe? Not receiving adequate prayer time. Forget the fact that these same Muslim workers have been violent against their co-workers and the city itself. Forget their Ramadan violence. Forget the fact that some of these Muslims have vanished off the street, recruited to go jihad and join the holy war in Somalia, with Americans living in fear of their return. Forget all that. What happened to no special classes for special people? This is America – there should be no special rights for special classes! The EEOC is the willing dhimmifor creeping Sharia in the workplace, at the behest of the Hamas-tied Muslim Brotherhood group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Would they do this for complaints from Christians, Jews, and other non-believers in Islam? Christians and Jews go to churches and synagogues to pray, not to theirworkplaces. Yet

now Hamas-tied CAIR, with the aid of tough Somali advocates, is turning workplaces into de facto mosques. Mind you, it is not necessary for a Muslim to prayer at a certain time. These actions are merely devices in which to impose Islam on non-believers. Prayer is not required on a strict schedule if a Muslim is unable to pray at the specified time; Muslim prayers are commonly “made up” after work or school. This is true even in Muslim countries, including Iran. Muslim footbaths in airports and universities, Muslim cab drivers who refuse to take passengers with dogs or alcohol, prayer times in public schools, prayer times in the work place, colleges forced to have separate swimming times for Islamic men and women so not to offend Muslims............ this is how you lose your country.These “initiatives “are to impose their will upon us, not to enable them to honor ironclad religious responsibilities. Delta should have refused to partner with the Saudis rather than accommodate their Jew-hatred. At a certain point we must draw the line and stand up for our values. Otherwise we will find that there is always more Sharia to accommodate – with each new demand more hateful and anti-Semitic than the last.

SHALOM RUBASHKIN’S UNIVERSAL NARRATIVE BY DOVID EFUNE Yet again, the plight of Agriprocessors boss Shalom Rubashkin has been the subject of more media attention, as his attorneys argued an appeal before a panel of judges in Missouri last week. The ruling was however delayed. t this juncture it is widely accepted that his overzealous sentencing by District Court Judge Linda Reade, was a gross perversion of justice. What is at stake here however, is the contention that the judge should in reality have been disqualified from presiding over the case, due to her active and early engagement with law enforcement officials leading up to the raid on the Iowa meatpacking plant. As lawyer Nathan Lewin argued that it certainly appeared “that the judge had stepped into the shoes of a prosecutor.” Writing on the subject last year, I surmised that due to the high profile nature of the case, it was vulnerable to manipulation by individuals seeking to make a name for themselves. Now it seems apparent that Linda Reade is a primary culprit in this selfglorifying stunt, pulling the strings from very early on in the case she has penned her own narrative from beginning to end, trampling on her mandate for impartiality. A few minutes on Google is enough to indicate that the Rubashkin trial is by far the highest profile case that she has presided over. She seems determined not to let this 'opportunity' to make a statement with her sentencing, pass by. Luckily, but also as a matter of common sense, a significant number of prominent individuals has come out in his defense. This group includes Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Eliot Engel, Carolyn McCarthy, Edolphus Towns, Carolyn Maloney, Steve Israel and Yvette Clarke amongst others. Additionally the head of the Democratic National Committee, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has been active on Rubashkin’s behalf, as well as a number of former U.S. Attorneys General and esteemed Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz. The Rubashkin case is by no means a limited matter of a community supporting one of their own, or knee jerk Jewish huddling, but a matter of national significance. The integrity of the American justice system has been challenged by the effects of mass media influence and the culture of judicial arrogance. Activists who are campaigning on behalf of Rubashkin are aware that in order to coun-

terbalance the established prejudice, it is of primary importance to effectively communicate the relevance of this cause to the widest possible audience. It is crucial that those involved in this campaign, do not allow the cause to be considered in the eyes of lawmakers as just an orthodox Jewish one, or even solely a Jewish one for that matter. The focal point of the Rubashkin cause is not only connected to the man himself, but rather to the cause of Justice and fairness not limited to an individual and effecting all. Some of the initiatives that have been implemented up until this point, may have been well meaning, but neglected to address this concern. As a consequence, their impact may be limited, possibly even having an adverse effect on the outcome.

_____________________ “It seems apparent that Linda Reade is a primary culprit in this self-glorifying stunt, pulling the strings from very early on in the case she has penned her own narrative from beginning to end.” _____________________ For example, the Unity for Justice Campaign produced a video that strongly suggested that support for the cause was limited to Orthodox Jews. This is a gross misrepresentation considering the vast array of public figures that have come forward in support for justice. Any media materials produced with the aim of building popular support for Rubashkin, must include statements made by the most recognizable and influential champions of the cause. The Shalom Across America program, is a powerful initiative if the correct message is conveyed. I would suggest however that the depiction of a tipped scale would be appropriate to incorporate into the imagery. This would immediately convey the crux of the cause that is being fought for and the necessity for broad involvement, while appealing to people's most basic moral sense. Make no mistake, the fight for fairness and impartiality in America's courts is broad and far reaching in its appeal. A concerted and continued effort to educate the public is vitally important, and as long as the messages are correctly packaged, they can go a long way.

IS THE NEW YORK TIMES ANTI-ISRAEL? The truth about Islam’s attitudes is seldom reported in the Times. Human rights violations are constantly ignored while the state of Israel is constantly singled out for ‘human rights abuses’. More than a third of all Arab dominated UN resolutions condemn Israel while ignoring genocidal attacks in Africa and lack of freedom or democracy in any of the Arab nations. The negative bias of the Times against Israel while excusing the behavior of other

BY PROF. STAN ROTHSTEIN Is the New York Times the Anti-Israel newspaper? Is it guilty of false reporting against the state of Israel over a long period of time and giving aid and comfort to nations and groups that use terrorism as a matter of national policy? The simple answer to this question is a resounding “yes”! hese days it has joined those who blame Israel for all the woes of the Middle East and the world. It justifies this by quoting Arab sources over Israeli ones and speaking of cycles of violence--both the Israelis and their Arab enemies are held equally responsible for the violence and terror that stalks the region. Those who commit murder and mayhem in the name of their ‘legitimate grievances’ are treated in the same way as their victims. Terrorists are called militants, even when they murder families in their beds, as they recently did to the Fogels - a story the Times somehow failed to cover. The random bombing of civilians, a war crime by any standard has not been condemned by the Times even though this random bombing of civilians during World War II by Nazi Germany was properly labeled a war crime. Apparently, when the victims are Israelis such actions are no longer considered a crime in the eyes of the Times. The Times is forever trying to justify these terrorist attacks because of the “occupation”. They never tell readers that these ‘disputed’ territories came under Israel sovereignty when surrounding Arab states attacked Israel, as they did in three more times during the intervening sixty three year period since the state of Israel was created. Nor does the

______________________

New York Times main office in Manhattan. Times give any blame to the breakdown in peace negotiations on the Palestinians, who have consistently refused to recognize the state of Israel or sit down with Prime Minister Netanyahu. The Times couches its bias against the Jewish state as an attack on the policies of the Israeli government. But it does not show any bias to the many dictatorships that have attacked the Jewish state time and time again. When you attack Jews disproportionately and constantly while giving other countries a free pass, then you’re talking antiSemitism, as Martin Luther king said many

years ago. Time and again reports from Arab sources are thought to be more reliable that those of the Israeli government even though such sources are often biased. In Jordan, in Egypt and throughout Araby virulent AntiSemitic literature is sold openly, but the Times prefers to turn a blind eye to these abhorrent practices and seldom, if ever mentions them. (The Protocols of Zion, a notorious Anti-Semitic forgery written by the Tsarist secret police more than a century ago is widely distributed and believed in much of the Islamic World.) Anti-Israel attitudes have often blended into Anti-Semitism in the New York Times. In the Arab countries, no lie is too great when it comes to characterizing the state of Israel, or Jews in general. The cowardly terrorist attack on New York was blamed on the Jews in much of the Islamic World, but the Times mentioned this briefly without editorial comment. The Syrian dictator Assad accused the Jews of killing Christ when he visited the Pope recently. Again the Times barely reported this meeting but managed to give it some prominence briefly. The Arab press openly reported that the Jews kill Christians and Islamic children today in order to perform satanic rituals and again the Times chose to ignore these blatant manifestations of AntiSemitism.

“Those who commit murder and mayhem in the name of their ‘legitimate grievances’ are treated in the same way as their victims. Terrorists are called militants, even when they murder families in their beds, as they recently did to the Fogels - a story the Times somehow failed to cover.” ______________________ nations in the Middle East is, as Daniel Jonah Goldhagen has pointed out, a virulent form of Anti-Semitism. Recently, the Times gave front page coverage to the Goldstone Report that claimed Israel had deliberately targeted civilians during her incursion into the Gaza Strip. But when Goldstone wrote an Op Ed piece in the Washington Post in which he said the accusations were based on Palestinian informers and were probably not true, the Times relegated its coverage to its back pages. How has the Times responded to these charges of bias and bigotry? Officially they have denied them and asked Jewish antiZionists to write articles for them. And they have deemphasized some of their coverage of the Middle East. But the continued ‘badmouthing’ of our Israeli ally while they igrnore the provocations and virulent antiSemitism of her enemies speaks for itself. All this forces us to ask - Who owns AP and Reuters? Who owns these media outlets that routinely spew these distortions and falsehoods? And who owns the Times? WWW.ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM

BY KARIN KLOOSTERMAN The new solar field at Kibbutz Ketura generates enough energy to power three communities, and takes Israel one step nearer to becoming a clean-tech superhero. t's taken five years to get off the ground, thanks in part to the difficulty of coordinating between no less than 24 ministerial offices, but the first Israeli solar field was finally launched this month to fanfare, VIP barbecues, music, a religious rapper (who wrote a song for the occasion) and a picturesque setting sun. Arava Power's 4.95 megawatt solar field in Kibbutz Ketura marks a milestone for the state of Israel. The Jewish nation has been intent on branding itself as a clean-tech superhero, selling solar innovations like inverters and software abroad, yet not quite able to prove its commitment to renewable energy on its home turf. Now, after successfully navigating labyrinthine regulatory hurdles, Arava Power has its sights set on helping Israel reach its stated goal of 10 percent renewable energy by 2020. About half of that amount could be generated by solar energy in the Negev desert, which sits under clear, bright skies most days of the year. Although it's a Middle East country, Israel doesn't have any appreciable oil sources beyond the natural gas wells off the coast of Haifa. It does have a large amount of oil shale, but environmentalists caution that extracting oil from the shale would cause too much damage. What's left? The sun, an energy source that makes non-polluting perfect sense. Arava Power, says CEO Jonathan Cohen, is pioneering the way for other companies to make their mark in this new industry in Israel. "There is no doubt that the natural advantage will be fully leveraged," says Cohen.

"There are talks of bio-gas, and an aggressive drive to get wind up and running." Banking on the sun "It was tough," he said at the launch event, held on World Environment Day in front of a crowd of about 500 kibbutz members, press, ministers in infrastructure and agriculture from Israel and around the world, as well as executives from companies like investor Siemens. "We are pioneers. The bureaucracy and regulations were almost a nightmare at stages, as is expected for a brand-new pioneering industry, in a brand-new pioneering company, in a brand-new pioneering country. We very much appreciate that the building, the establishment of the first ground phase of a large solar field in Israel, is an event." Cohen foresees the Negev and Arava desert region as capable of providing about 2,000 to 2,500 megawatts of solar power -half of Israel's renewable energy goals -- to the national grid. Such an endeavor will require an enormous amount of financing, perhaps as much as $2 billion. In the meantime the newly launched solar field at Ketura is expected to provide enough power to serve the energy needs of three nearby kibbutzim. To the end of fulfilling Israel's role as a "renewable light unto the nations," a phrase coined by Arava Power's co-founder, Yossi Abramowitz, in a nod to the biblical imperative upon Israel to be "a light unto the nations," Arava Power announced that the profits from the four corners of its recent solar field will be offered to charity in the spirit of the Bible's requirement for farmers and their produce. The company plans eventually to build some 40 solar fields in Israel, contributing about 400 megawatts of power in total. So far, one percent of this dream has come true, and later this year Arava will launch a solar field eight times larger than the one at Kibbutz Ketura. It's a "first small step for mankind," Cohen says.

Just when you thought that 73 year old Madoff, who is serving a 150 year sentence in North Carolina federal prison, is quieted for good, think again. The Ponzi scheme just keeps giving and giving. Madoff trustee Irving Picard is suing JPMorgan Chase for $19 billion in damages. Picard held firmly the belief that JPMorgan was complicit in the Madoff scheme and ignored the red flags. Originally the law suit was filed for $5.4 billion in damages and $1 billion in fraudulent claims. icard first sued JPMorgan chase in December in a bankruptcy court, alleging that JPMorgan Chase violated banking law and defrauded federal regulators. According to Deborah Renner, one of Picard’s lawyers, JPMorgan bankers were able to view what money deposited by customers was used for, and they were not used

to buy or sell securities. Another of Picard’s lawyers states that, “not only should (JPMorgan) have known that a fraud was being perpetrated, they did know.”

H & H Bagel Co. is “Toast”

JICNY Celebrates 10th Anniversary at Gala Event: Reaching Out to Young Jews from around the World

H & H bagel suffered turbulent financial woes with bankruptcy and foreclosure, before it decided to close the original location. The largest bagel manufacturer in New York City and one of the largest worldwide is closing its doors on Broadway and West 80th Street, the original location which opened in 1972. Taking a walk on the Upper West side reveals a bare storefront which no longer sports the famous sign advertising, “like no other in the world.” & H bagel suffered turbulent financial woes with bankruptcy and foreclosure, before it decided to close the original location. The famous store owed $347,813 in back rent, according to the store’s landlord. Helmer Toro, the owner of H & H Bagels, was sentenced to several weekends in jail last year for underpaying employees, and cheating the company in taxes, pocketing $300,000 in state payroll. Furthermore, H & H bagel might owe nearly

$3 million to State Revenue Service as well as $100, 000 to the State of New York Tax Department. A bankruptcy filed in March by First Toro Family Limited Partnership put a stop to the eviction for the original location. However, on June 10th, the case was dismissed, and the eviction proceeded. James Besser, who lives in the neighborhood, has started a campaign to keep H & H bagel open. “We love this store,” he said, “This is a landmark. People come from all over the world to eat those bagels. People think of the Upper West Side and they think of bagels. It’s like going to Paris for a croissant.” The once-popular location, which was featured on “Friends” and “Seinfeld”, leaves its loyal customers high and dry. While they are able to buy bagels at other H & H locations, the original store served as a neighborhood landmark.

BY TZVI ALLEN FISHMAN What does a young Jewish person do, when he or she is from a foreign country and comes to the USA for the first time? With few friends or family and none of those very important social networks that allow single men and women to meet, socialize and combat the strangeness of being in a new environment, life can be quite lonely, especially in the Big Apple. ith personal knowledge of this very difficult situation, a dynamic young couple, Jodi and Gavin Samuels, along with a top New York Jewish educator Steve Eisenberg, conceived and created an outreach group for Young Jewish men and women from foreign countries, called the Jewish International Connection of New York (JICNY). Jodi and Gavin, both young parents and successful professionals, emigrated from South Africa to New York in 2000. Coming from a large Jewish community where they both had lots of friends and family and were well-positioned in the Jewish landscape, they were struck by the sudden loneliness of being new faces in a huge Jewish community. After painfully managing to integrate themselves into the Manhattan Upper West Side Community, they decided that it was their destiny to start JICNY and help these mostly single Jewish men and women find a warm, caring environment and a way to get together, socialize and find common Jewish experiences. The idea blossomed further into today’s JICNY with the joining of a third member to the team, Mr. Steve Eisenberg. Eisenberg, a successful investment advisor and funds trader, was already well-known in Jewish circles for his selfless involvement in Jewish outreach in the New York Area. He thus brought along his vast knowledge in teaching Jewish identity in order to provide to young people a Jewish learning and outreach experience. In addition to the social networking and Shabbat meals and Hospitality that JICNY sponsors, there are now a wide range of Jewish classes and lectures on a wide range

of topics, in a variety of languages, at numerous venues in the New York area. Steve himself delivers a powerful class to a capacity crowd on the weekly Torah portion on Monday nights, which is followed by various other classes in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Italian, at the Ohav Shalom Congregation on West 84 Street in New York City. On Tuesday, June 21, JICNY sponsored its 7th Annual Fundraising Gala at a beautiful new venue on 10th Avenue in New York City.

MJHS Fundraiser Scores a “Hole in One” BY FERN SIDMAN The Old Westbury Golf and Country Club was the bucolic venue for an actionpacked day of events at the 13th Annual MJHS Foundation Golf Classic on Monday, June 20th. Founded in 1907 in Brooklyn by four courageous and compassionate Jewish women, (Sarah Webelovsky, Sarah Berlin, Flora Grodin and Mrs. Charles Rosenthal) who understood the desperate plight of the elderly and infirm, the Metropolitan Jewish Health System (MJHS) now stands as a leading provider of health related services in the New York City area. Serving over 50,000 individuals a year, MJHS has become one of the most expansive health systems in the region and is guided by the Jewish values of compassion, respect and dignity for every individual irrespective of their background, their station in life or their financial situation. mong the highly successful programs established by MJHS are the Home Care, Hospice and Palliative Care, Rehab and Nursing Centers, Adult Day

______________________ Eli Feldman: “When I first started with MJHS, we had an annual budget of $60 million. And now our yearly budget is over $800 million. We have seen significant growth in the five boroughs of New York and serve 40 to 50 thousand people a year.” ______________________ As a descendant of one of the early Napa Valley winemaking pioneers, Vermeil generously offered samples of his flavorful and

With a room filled to capacity, such major and loyal sponsors of MJHS as Bestcare, Inc, Special Touch Home Care; Northwestern Mutual, TD Bank, Allen Health Care Services, Chem Rx Pharmacy Services, First Response Ambulance Service, Capitol One Bank, Medstar Surgical and Breathing Equipment, Byram Healthcare, Envision Pharmaceutical Services, among many others were thanked for their unwavering partnership support and steadfast belief in the organization's mission. "Our annual golf classic is called ‘Drive For the Future’ because it is represents philanthropic support that helps ensure our patients know they will receive whatever quality, culturally-sensitive care is needed, even if their needs change," said David Nussbaum, Executive Director of MJHS Foundation. He added, "The four Brooklyn ladies who founded this organization among the tenements in 1907 relied on charitable giving to help build a home for the poor and elderly and their unique vision has become MJHS." In private interviews, Sam Mezrahi of First Response Ambulance said, "What impresses me most about MJHS is that they help everyone; and race, religion and financial means of an individual are irrelevant. I was raised in the Sephardic tradition which taught that tzedaka and giving are of paramount importance. In life, we must realize that it's not always about taking, but life for us is about giving. If you give you get back ten-fold, and that's what MJHS represents." Steve Ostrovsky of Special Touch Home Care Services, an organization that provides home health aides and paraprofessionals said, "We work with a lot of home care agencies, but MJHS is by far the very best. It is a professional organization that provides top notch care for its patients and we're proud to be a part of the wonderful work that they do." Eli Feldman, the Chief Executive Officer

of his life. An all time record of more than $930,000 was raised at the event with the proceeds going to the MJHS Foundation's charitable fund that supports healthcare for patients, residents and families served by MJHS. The foundation is dedicated to promoting a culture of philanthropy while raising and allocating the funds necessary for the provision of charitable care, as well as to supporting the affiliated agencies in their efforts to service the needs of the community. The morning hours saw golfers from across the country partaking in a lavish breakfast and then convening on the putting greens and the driving range, as carts filled with competitive foursomes took off at the noon shotgun tee-off. "Playing with purpose" was the theme of the day as nongolfers went swimming and enjoyed games of Texas Hold 'Em.

NEWS IN REVIEW INTERNATIONAL Poland Complains to Vatican over Priest's AntiSemitic Remarks Polish priest and media mogul has sparked uproar in Poland by calling the country a totalitarian state that “hasn’t been ruled by Poles since 1939” — a statement many interpret as code for saying Jews are secretly running the country. The Rev. Tadeusz Rydzyk, who has previously been accused of fomenting antiSemitism through his politically influential, ultra-Catholic radio station Radio Maryja, made the comments at the European Parliament last week. Though he did not mention Jews by name, his language echoed that of anti-Semites who claim that Jews hold excessive power in Poland and that Polish Jews are not “real Poles” with Polish interests at heart. Rydzyk runs a conservative media empire that includes the Catholic station Radio Maryja and the Catholic television station Trwam, both popular among many conservative, nationalist Poles.

Hundreds Protest For Shalit in Paris ome 400 people took part in a demonstration calling for the release of captive soldier Gilad Shalit in Paris on Sunday. Shalit, who has been in Hamas captivity for the past five years, is both a French and Israeli citizen. The protestors chanted “Freedom for Gilad

Shalit.” The rally, organized by Jewish groups in France, was held outside the Paris City Hall Hôtel de Ville. A photo of Shalit was posted on the building. Pierre Aidenbaum, of the Paris municipality said: “Nowhere in the world has seen such a lengthy period of time pass without any information on a captive. His parents have not received news of him for the past two and a half years. They do not even know whether he’s alive.” We call on the French government and media to work towards peace. We want them to force Hamas to honor international law and recognize the State of Israel,” Gil Tayeb, president of the ASI said.

Synagogue Board Member Cut After Opposing Circumcision synagogue representative on the Board of Deputies of British Jews has been removed from her position after advocating a ban on circumcision.

In a letter to the community representative organization’s chief executive, Jon Benjamin, the synagogue’s main Board Representative Dori Schmetterling said: “Further to our earlier discussions, I confirm that the Executive of the Board of Management of the New West End Synagogue has decided that Rebecca Steinfeld’s position as the Under-35 Observer at the Board of Deputies is rescinded, effective immediately.

Hezbollah Openly Transporting Arms from Syria

utch lawmakers are set to ban centuries-old Jewish and Muslim traditions of slaughtering animals, but agreed Wednesday to a last-minute compromise offering religious groups exemptions, if they can prove their method of killing livestock does not cause additional suffering. Stientje van Veldhoven of the centrist D66 party said the amendment gives religious groups “a chance to go and investigate what is possible instead of just telling them what they can’t do.” “The law as it was presented ruled out any possible future development,” Van Veldhoven told national broadcaster NOS. “It ruled out that there could be a method other than stunning first that could prevent animals suffering.”

ebanaese MP Antoine Saad, an ally of former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and an opponent of the current Hezbollah dominated government, said Tuesday that Hezbollah is publicly relocating its weapons from Syria to Lebanon due to the current crisis in Syria. Saad told Al-Mustaqbal newspaper that “the overland transfer is taking place day and night and without any control,” and that the weapons are being dispersed to Hezbollah strongholds in South Lebanon, Baalbeck, Hermel and the terrorist organization's bastions in the southern suburbs of Beirut. “These weapons are to be used against Israel in the future, so Hezbollah needs ammunition to be able to resist in a long term war,” added Saad.

Comptroller Checking IDF Prayer at Western Wall

gyptian Deputy Prime Minister Yahia Al-Gamal accused the United States and Israel of provoking religious tensions in order to weaken the country, according to the MENA news agency. At least three people were hurt Saturday during clashes between Muslims and Christians over the reported building of a church. As many as 15 people were killed, scores injured and a church set ablaze in clashes which broke out between Christians and Muslims on May 7th in a Cairo neighborhood. Al-Gamal said, "The United States and Israel are behind the religious sedition in Egypt" as "they realize this is the only way to break up the country." He added, "Israel is trying to do this because Egypt is the most important power in the region."

The IDF Spokesman said none of the soldiers was forced to take part in the prayers and that various units have different reasons for going to the Western Wall.

Buses won’t Travel before End of Shabbat he new transportation reform in central Israel, to go into effect July 1, will mean that buses that up until now were allowed to travel shortly before the Shabbat ends will no longer be able to do so. Under the new scheme, some buses that previously started operating at roughly 6:30 PM will now be operating only starting at roughly 8:30 PM. A similar initiative was rejected by the Knesset’s Finance Committee three years ago. At the time, Knesset Member Ran Cohen (Meretz) said that most people who use buses in the early evening hours Saturday require transportation for “super-humanitarian objectives.” “These are soldiers who need to return early from their weekend break, citizens traveling to see their relatives, and young people going to work in the evening,” he said.

Rabbi Welcomes Decision to Return 'Jewish' to Israeli ID Cards abbi Israel Rosen, the founder and head of the Tzomet organization, on Wednesday welcomed Interior Minister Eli Yishai’s decision to return the nationality descriptor ‘Jewish’ to Israeli ID cards, saying ‘nationality’ alone has no meaning when making halachic determinations of ‘Jewishness.’ “It was absurd from the outset that they removed nationality,” Rabbi Rosen told Israel National News.When the Supreme Court decided to recognize non-Orthodox conversions the Orthodox demanded the ‘Jewish’ designation on all ID cards be removed even though there was no need. They were actually throwing the baby out with the water by removing identity from the certificate altogether.” Rabbi Rosen noted that even if someone who went through a non-Orthodox conversion is listed as a Jew on their ID card under the Law of Return, the Rabbinate will still refuse to marry them to a Jew. The rabbinate investigates no matter what is written on the identiry card,” Rabbi Rosen said.

Israel to Keep Perks From Prisoners

srael’s prime minister says the government will withhold privileges from Palestinian prisoners because Hamas has rejected a Red Cross appeal to visit a longheld Israeli soldier. Benjamin Netanyahu did not offer many details. He told a conference, “I stopped that

absurd procedure whereby terrorists in Israeli prisons who murdered innocent people register for academic studies. ... There won’t be M.A. students for murder or doctoral candidates for terror.” The reduction in perks came after the International Committee of the Red Cross asked to visit Sgt. Gilad Sahalit, who has been held captive by Hamas - linked militants for five years.

Mendelevich said such a flotilla would be easy work under the supervision of Israeli security forces and would reflect the real situation in Gaza, compared to what human rights groups claim.

Knesset Member Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism), who was at the rabbi's bedside before he died, said that "this is a huge loss for the world of Torah. The rabbi was one of the greatest yeshiva heads, who educated thousands of students for generations and was one of the designers of Charedi Judaism.

The issue has been contentious in California, where San Francisco is set to be the first city to hold a public vote on banning circumcision.

Jewish and Muslim families are challenging the San Francisco proposal in court, claiming it violates their right to practice their religion and decide what’s best for their children.

Apple Removes Anti-Israel App from App Store pple Inc. says it has removed an application called “ThirdIntifada” from its App Store following complaints that it glorified violence against Israel.

Jewish human rights group The Simon Wiesenthal Center also complained to Apple. “Intifada” is the Arabic term for two violent uprisings against Israel over the past two decades. The free application encouraged followers to share opinions and organize protests against Israel. It linked to a website that helped organize violent clashes with Israeli troops recently along Israel’s frontiers with Lebanon and Syria. Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr said Wednesday the app was removed “because it violates the developer guidelines by being offensive to large groups of people.”

PAGE 27 Helen Thomas Reapplied For White House Press Credentials

he disgraced White House reporter might be gone, but she’s not completely forgotten and now she is looking on making a comeback. In an appearance at the Busboys & Poets bookstore in Washington, D.C. the embattled former Hearst newspapers columnist Helen Thomas, once known as the dean of the White House press corps, said she misses her spot in the White House briefing room. “Nothing can replace being there when you’re a reporter,” Thomas said. “Seeing with your own eyes, no, nothing can replace that. I was very lucky to cover history for so long.” Anas “Andy” Shallal, the owner of Busboys & Poets and moderator for her appearance, followed up by asking her if she had reapplied for those credentials. According to Thomas, she said she had but hadn’t gotten an official response and assumed she had been denied. Thomas had resigned after being caught making anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks to a Jewish reporter.

Casspi: My dream of Being a Pilot is Over n the backdrop of rumors that he is on his way to a different NBA team, Sacramento Kings forward Omri Casspi visited the Israel Air Force base in Nevatim last week, where he met with cadets of an advanced operational training course as part of the "Taking Responsibility" project. During the visit, in which he even met an old schoolmate who became a pilot, Casspi realized that he would no longer be able to fulfill his dream. "I can't fit myself into the cockpit anymore," he said. "My dream of Omri Casspi becoming a pilot ended today. I'll continue playing basketball."

Born to an Eastern European Jewish family in New York in 1927. His right eye was surgically removed after he developed a tumor at the age of 3. The glass eye was part of his signature look for the Columbo character, along with his feigned absent-mindedness. Columbo became best known for his catch-phrase, "Just one more thing." Falk served with the U.S. Merchant Marines at the end of World War II and then signed up to go to Israel to fight against Egypt. But in his 2006 memoir, "Just One More Thing," he said "the war, to everyone's amazement, was over in the blink of an eye."

Danny Danon of the Likud Party.

Pro-Israel Michele Bachmann New GOP Candidate olidly pro-Israel Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota announces she is running for the GOP presidential nomination and already is at the top of polls in Iowa. A Christian who says she “grew up with a love for Israel," she is a social conservative who has all the physical, religious and political assets of another Tea Party darling, Sarah Palin, but without her image of ignorance of foreign relations. However, she has been called “flaky,” a description she Michele Bachmann told Fox News Sunday is “insulting, because I am a serious person.” She added, "I have a titanium spine for doing what we need to do to get the country turned around.” She formally announced her candidacy Monday in Iowa, where she was born. At present, Rep. Bachmann shares the top spot in the polls with Gov. Mitt Romney.

Matisyahu's Gives Dull Performance in Israel fter performing two concerts in Poland called Concert for Life, Matisyahu traveled to Israel and gave what many have called a lackluster performance at the famed Zappa club. Just one day after the disappointing concert by Bob Dylan at the Ramat Gan Stadium, a show in a small, crowded club should have been great success. But Matisyahu the famous Chasidic rapper did not live up to his name: his voice did not have it’s usual power or intensity and his backup group was not able to take up the slack.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Visit Israel merican basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will visit Israel in July and meet with Rabbi Israel Meir Lau to discuss a film that he is making about World War II. Many have asked what this odd couple the former Cheif Rabbi of Israel and a Muslem basketball legend have in common. It seems that Mr. Jabbar's father, Ferdinand L. Alcindor, was one of the soldiers that had liberated the Buchenwald Concentration Camp in Germany. Among the Jews rescued from the camp were two children: Rabbi Lau and his brother, Naftali Lavie. Lau said that Abdul-Jabbar's father, Ferdinand L. Alcindor, had a dying wish: "That his son visit Israel, and meet the little boy that he rescued from Buchenwald and who had turned into a prominent rabbi." Lau said he Kareem Abdul clearly remembers Jabbar how an AfricanAmerican solider came up to him during the liberation, picked him up, and told the residents of the German city of Weimer: "Look at this sweet kid, he isn't even eight yet. This was your enemy, he threatened the Third Reich. He is the one against whom you waged war, and murdered millions like him."

ting climax to a fascinating personal journey that had its origins in events centuries earlier, when Matza’s ancestors first arrived from Yanina, Greece and decided to settle in the Old City. Over the course of three centuries and subsequent generations, his forebearers’ fateful decision ultimately shaped Matza’s destiny, making him a fighter for Jerusalem in every sense of the word. When he was just 14, Matza joined Avraham Stern’s LEHI underground group to oust the British from Mandatory Palestine and restore the Jewish sovereignty lost 2,000 years earlier. While not directly engaging in paramilitary activities due to his age, Matza hid weapons and posted anti-British flyers. During the subsequent War of Independence, he helped plant a bomb outside the Old City’s New Gate so LEHI fighters could blast their way into the besieged city. The plan was aborted when the bomb failed to detonate.

Entry Into Politics Following Israel’s victory, Matza returned to his studies. During that period, a dramatic conference took place at the King David Hotel, a short distance from the Old City where Matza’s ancestors had taken up residence. Delegates agreed on the establishment

Joshua Matza addresses the audience at an Israel Bonds event. of a corporation to facilitate the sale of Israel bonds – a historic decision that would ultimately affect not only Israel, but Joshua Matza as well. The circumstances that ultimately led Matza to Israel Bonds began with his decision to enter politics. Inspired by the fiery Menachem Begin, whom he viewed as his mentor, Matza joined Begin’s Herut party. In 1965, Matza ran in his first election, securing a seat on Jerusalem’s City Council and later winning a bid to become deputy mayor. Today, many of the parks and green spaces seen throughout the capital stem from Matza’s initiatives. Nine years later, Matza’s political career

The Jewish Voice ascended to the national level when he entered the Knesset – where he would remain for the next 18 years – on the Likud slate. In 1996, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Matza recruited to Likud, appointed him minister of health. When Likud returned to the opposition in 1999, Matza successfully introduced and secured passage of the Jerusalem Law, which stipulated no decisions affecting the status of Jerusalem could be made without majority consent. President & CEO of Israel Bonds In 2002, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, together with Finance Minister Silvan Shalom, recommended Matza to the board of directors of the Development Corporation for Israel – the official name of Israel Bonds– and, shortly thereafter, he arrived at the organization’s New York headquarters to begin his term as president and CEO. That marked the start of more than nine years as head of Israel Bonds, making Matza the longest-tenured president and CEO in the organization’s 60-year history. Indomitable and determined, he guided Israel Bonds to more than $11 billion in worldwide sales, meeting or exceeding Finance Ministry goals every single year. Matza’s tenure coincided with historic and critical moments, including relentless Palestinian terror, the Second Lebanon War and Operation Cast Lead. In every instance, he resolutely rallied support, including utilizing his many contacts at the highest levels of Israel’s government to encourage solidarity through Israel Bonds. Matza also successfully transitioned Israel Bonds into a model of cost-effectiveness and efficiency praised by global ratings agencies. In his farewell speech from the Knesset

Growth of Kosher Independents in NY Banking on Demographics

July 1, 2011

Wild Salmon Chunks Served on a Bed of Baby Spinach COURTESY OF THEJEWISHHOSTESS.COM

I’m always on the lookout for grilled salmon recipes, and when I came across this sauteed salmon recipe idea, I was inspired to add it to my own recipe list.

SOME HEALTH BENEFITS OF WILD SALMON:

BY MENACHEM LUBINSKY, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF KOSHER TODAY

While supermarket chains have been expanding of late in many parts of the country, in New York it is the large kosher independent supermarkets that are growing. The reason, say kosher experts, is a sense that there is more than enough business for everyone, largely because of the continued natural growth of the core Orthodox Jewish communities. n almost every neighborhood in New York with a major concentration of Jews, as well as such Upstate New York communities as Monsey, there are new additions that were not there five years ago, kosher sources told Kosher Today. In upstate Monsey NY, some purveyors say that they have been increasing sales by as much as 20% a year “simply to feed more mouths.” A leading Monsey activist predicted a 100% increase in the number of Orthodox Jews in the community in the next five years. “There are essentially two models in New York, Pomegranate or Moishe’s/Kollel,” said one large distributor. Pomegranate is the 3-year old Flatbush supermarket that is touted as the most upscale of all kosher independents, while Moishe’s in Flatbush and sister store Kollel in Boro Park offer better pricing and enor-

mous variety. The new Season’s kosher supermarket on Main Street in Queens, which opened last week, is somewhat modeled after Pomegranate, particularly stressing wide aisles, good presentation of foods and customer service, while a nearby competitor, Aron’s seems more closely to align with the Moishe’s model. Mayer Gold, who previously served as manager of Pomegranate and also worked at Super-Sol (the store that Season’s replaced), has incorporated some Pomegranate features such as wide aisles and customer service, although his 12,000 square foot is considerably smaller and his pricing is adjusted to a more price conscious local clientele. Gold and a group of investors acquired all four Super-Sol stores with only the Queens site undergoing major renovations. Sources have said for some time that at least one and perhaps two kosher independent superstores may open later this year in Monsey. They say that the planned supermarket by Israel’s Shufersal mogul Shulem Fisher on the site of the former Pathmark “has taken many twists and turns.” Many kosher stores in Boro Park and Williamsburg have in recent months been expanded and renovated as independent kosher grocers thrive in New York despite aggressive efforts by some chains and large discount clubs (i.e. Target and Costco) to lure kosher shoppers.

• It speeds up your metabolism. This facilitates your sugar absorption rate and can lower your blood sugar level, which in turn lowers your risk of developing diabetes. • The nutrients found in salmon promote shiny hair, bright eyes and healthy skin. • Four ounces of wild salmon gives you a full day’s required amount of Vitamin D. That same amount of salmon also gives you more than half of the B12, niacin and selenium that you need daily. That four ounce serving of salmon gives you almost thirty grams of protein. That’s more than half of the Food and Drug Administration’s recommended daily amount. • Salmon is a natural anti-depressant. • Warning: FDA and EPA have issued a recommendation that pregnant women and young children eat no more than two servings, or 12 ounces, of salmon and other lowmercury fish each week. Health benefits of baby spinach: • A cup of spinach contains a little less than seven calories, almost a gram of fiber, and high levels of vitamins A and C. • Spinach has tons of anti-cancer benefits. It has four times the beta carotene of broccoli. Spinach is also an excellent source of folate – an ounce contains nearly 25% of our daily requirement. • The folate found in spinach has cardiovascular benefits and promotes a healthy pregnancy. • Spinach protects against age-related macular degeneration, a serious eye disease affecting older people. • Note: Spinach is among the 12 foods on which high levels of pesticide residues have been detected. Please consider buying and eating only organically-grown spinach.

And now, the recipe…

Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, skinned and cut into bite-sized pieces • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, veins removed, diced • 1/2 green, yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded, veins removed, diced • 1/2 cup golden raisins • 1/4 cup pine nuts • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 (10-ounce) package baby spinach • 1/2 cup bottled balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Preparation: 1. In a 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add salmon, peppers, raisins, pine nuts and salt. 2. Sauté for 7-8 minutes, until salmon is opaque and peppers are tender. 3. Place baby spinach in a salad bowl and spoon warm salmon mixture over spinach. 4. Drizzle balsamic dressing over the salad and serve warm or at room temperature.

DOT Unveils New Street Signs to Help Tourists

The city’s Department of Transportation plans to roll out a series of new signs and maps in four neighborhoods to help directionally challenged New Yorkers and tourists who visit the areas. he proposed signs will indicate to pedestrians where they are on a map and how long it would take to walk to nearby sites. They will first appear in Chinatown, near Penn Station in Midtown, Prospect Heights in Brooklyn and Long Island City in Queens. While some New Yorkers balked at the suggestion they need help navigating their own city, one in 10 locals told city surveyors they’d gotten lost at least once in the last week, reports the Daily News. One in three visitors to the city admitted to getting lost as well. “We’re really trying to unlock New York City’s street system,” DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan said in announcing the

proposal, reports the News. “A lot of times you can be on the cusp of a neighborhood and not know that in a five-minute walk is someplace you’ve always wanted to see.” Although many New Yorkers assert their navigational savvy when it comes to their own neighborhoods, many cop to not knowing where the nearest subway is or how to get to a particular landmark. And one in three locals couldn’t point north, reports the News. The city’s transportation department believes the signs will encourage walking and bolster local business by giving tourists and locals a more detailed view their immediate vicinity. The initiative falls under the umbrella of what urban planners call “wayfinding,” which refers to the means by which people orient themselves in space and navigate from place to place. The initial roll-out will cost about $1.5 million, reports the New York Times. The city would only be responsible for covering about $300,000, according to the paper. The federal group and local business organizations would cover the rest.

You can now get that backseat commentary even when you’re alone in your car, thanks to Mary On Board. fun dash-top gadget, the Mary On Board offers criticism, driving tips and navigational advice in two different languages. The device’s designer, Dan Finkelstein, was inspired by his wife and muse Mary, so she would always be in the car with him, if not in physical form.

The idea came to him one day when he was talking on his cell phone while driving, and his wife was reminding him repeatedly that he needed to move over into the right lane. He developed the idea with help from Utah-based company, Design My Idea. The Mary On Board will tell you, in English or Spanish, helpful tips and advice such as “Admit it! You’re lost because you wouldn’t ask for directions,” and “Don’t you think you should slow down?” You can buy one on the company’s website for $19.95. For every gadget purchased, $1 will be donated to the National Kidney Foundation.

JCI) power solutions president, Alex Molinaroli, stated that overall start-stop sales will be 35 million within five years. Companies like Toyota have been working on this technology since the 1970s and when tested, found a 10 percent improvement in fuel efficiency when the test car drove around Tokyo, thirty five years ago. JCI also announed on Monday that the compnay would spend $138.5 million to convert its battery plant near Toledo in northwest Ohio. The company expects production to to begin on start-stop batteries in spring 2012.

“Columbo” Star Passes Away

21st Annual Jewish Cultural Festival In Krakow

BY BRIAN SCOTT MEDNICK There are about a dozen or so celebrities whose faces adorn my walls and Peter Falk is one of them. About eight years ago, after a vicious bidding war on eBay, I purchased an extremely rare one sheet of Husbands, John Cassavetes' great 1970 comedy-drama with Falk, Cassavetes, and Ben Gazzara as three best friends who act out after their fourth buddy suddenly dies. It's a great poster that captures the essence of these three guys, both on-screen and in real life - grown men who act like little boys and overindulge in booze and gambling (is it a wonder I love this film?). ews of Falk's death on June 23rd at age 83 did not come as a total surprise, as he was known to be suffering from Alzheimer's Disease for a number of years. He will, of course, be best remembered as arguably the most popular TV detective of all time, but Peter Falk had a rich and varied career outside of Columbo. He received back-to-back supporting actor Oscar nominations for Murder, Inc. (1960) and A Pocketful of Miracles (1961). I think he deserved even more nominations for such memorable turns in Cassavetes' Husbands and A Woman Under the Influence (1974);

his year marks the 21st festival that was the brainchild of Janusz Makuch who held the fist Jewish festival in Krakow in 1988 during the communist regime. “Life is what interests us,” Janusz Makuch said. “It’s astonishing the capacity for rebirth and flourishing anew. The Festival is an unending celebration of Jewish life. Cracow, Kazimierz—the symbol after the war of Jewish absence, it has again become a place of Jewish presence. The mirror of the Festival reflects the diverse beauty of Jewish culture, the richness of life, and the profundity of religion. Our attitude toward Tradition is respectful—but we are not confined exclusively to Tradition. We pay tribute to the past while thinking unceasingly about the future. We live here and now in a dynamically changing real world. We show those changes the moment they occur. Today's orthodoxy was yesterday's heresy. We are contemporary heretics—hungry for what was, what is, and what shall be.” While the festival officially starts on the last Friday of June with films and tours of

T Peter Falk: 1927 – 2011 Though sometimes assumed to be Italian because of his role as Columbo, Falk was actually Jewish, born in New York City to a father of Russian descent and a mother with Polish, Hungarian, and Czech roots. His Jewish heritage was most evident in Wings of Desire in which he roams the streets of Berlin, movingly recalling a story his grandmother told him that alluded to the Holocaust. Falk was always a delight on awards shows, talk shows, and Dean Martin's celebrity roasts, particular the roast of Frank Sinatra in which Falk, never breaking from character as Lt. Columbo, goes on and on in his tribute, going so far as to present Sinatra with a tray of lasagna Mrs. Columbo baked especially for him (and then instructs Sinatra how to mail the empty tray back!). When I told my mother that Peter Falk had died, her first response was, "All the good ones are gone." "True," I said, "but just one more thing..." Anyway, as usual, my mother was right. Falk was as good as they got.

Parshat Chukat: Is the Torah Anti-Semitic? (Numbers 19:1-22:1) BY RABBI BORUCH LEFF BASED ON THE TEACHINGS OF RABBI YAAKOV WEINBERG

The authorship of the Torah has one of two possibilities: either G-d wrote it, or a human being wrote it. Let's take for argument's sake the side that a human being wrote it. If so, we discover a very strange phenomenon. his human being could not have been a Jew! Can we actually believe that a Jew would write such negative, detrimental, and destructive descriptions of his ancestors? Listen to what the author of the Torah describes: That his patriarch, Jacob was a liar and tricked his father, Isaac; that the sons of Jacob kidnapped and sold their brother Joseph into slavery; that the Jews of the Desert preferred slavery in Egypt rather than freedom; that the Jews are a stiff-necked people; that Moshe, the true prophet of G-d,

_______________________________

â€œIf G-d wrote it, then we understand how the Jewish people accepted it. They knew what G-d writes is true and they trusted that He, at times, writes negative and critical descriptions only in order to teach important lessons.â€? _______________________________ complains to Him and does not want to be the leader of what he describes as such a rebellious nation; that the Jews of the Desert worshiped a golden calf; that they showed a lack of trust in G-d by believing the spies' evil reports concerning Israel. The list goes on and on. Included in this list is the event in Parshat Chukat (Vayikra 20:7-13) that tells the story of Moshe and Aharon's failure in hitting the rock instead of speaking to it, in order to draw water to quench the people's thirst. Moshe and Aharon are punished and not permitted to enter the Land of Israel. Of course, the real meaning and interpretation of these difficult passages are explained by all the commentaries and they

are not as negative as they seem. Sometimes the verses are simply misunderstood at the surface level and not meant negatively at all (as is the case with Jacob seeming to trick Isaac). But no Jew would ever risk the tarnishing of his ancestors' reputations even if only at the superficial level of understanding. Why would a Jew write such terrible things about his ancestors? No other nation records an unfavorable history of their ancestors. One cannot read of a single defeat of Egypt in Egyptian history books. One must turn to the Assyrian texts to read of Egyptian failures, and vice versa. Even today, there are major distinctions between British and American history books in their accounts as to what happened in the American Revolutionary War. But somehow the fact that descendants generally look at their ancestors with reverence in their historical writings is not true when it comes to the Jews and the Torah. So which human wrote the Torah? It could not have been a Jew! The only possibility then is that an anti-Semite wrote it! But then we are left perplexed as to how this antiSemite could have persuaded the Jews to accept it! To suggest that a human wrote the Torah is not a realistic possibility. If G-d wrote it, then we understand how the Jewish people accepted it. They knew what G-d writes is true and they trusted that He, at times, writes negative and critical descriptions only in order to teach important lessons. G-d, in writing such fact, does so to engage in constructive criticism. This unique aspect of revealing negativesounding ancestral history makes us stop and realize that G-d must have written the Torah. But there are other distinct facets described in the Torah that also lead to the conclusion of its Divine authorship. The Torah makes prophecies that have come true. Now, there are many books that have made prophecies of the future such as Nostradamus, that some claim to have been true. But a close examination of these prophecies reveals them to be ambiguous and it is virtually impossible to prove their accuracy. Any 'prophecy' that can only be understood after an event has already taken place cannot be accepted as prophecy. True prophecy is clearly comprehended before an event takes place and then we can see for ourselves whether the prophecy came to fruition or not. We find exactly such prophecies in the Torah. These prophecies

Summary of Haftorah:

Parshat Chukat (I Samuel 11:14-12:22) The prophet Samuel (a descendant of Korach, the protagonist of this week's Torah portion) gathers the Jews to firmly install Saul as king of Israel. During the course of his address to the Jews he called out, "Here I am; bear witness against me before G-d and before His anointed; whose ox did I take, or whose ass did I take, or whom did I rob; or whom did I oppress, or from whose hand did I take a bribe..." This echoes Moses' statement in this week's Torah reading: "I have not taken a donkey from a single one of them, and I have not harmed a single one of them." he nation gathers at Gilgal for a second coronation of King Saul--the first one having lacked a convincing consensus. They offer sacrifices and rejoice together. The prophet Samuel then delivers a talk: he asks the people to testify that he never committed crimes against the people, and they confirm. He discusses how G d saved and aided them every step of the way and chastises them for wanting a flesh and blood king. He assures them that G d will be with them if they follow in His ways, and of the consequences they will face if they do not follow G d's word. To underscore the seriousness of his words, Samuel asks G d to send a thunderstorm, although it was not the rainy season. The Jewish people got the message and asked Samuel to intercede on their behalf and to have the thunderstorm cease. The haftorah ends with a reassurance: "For G-d will not forsake His people for His great name's sake; for G-d has sworn to make you a people for Himself."

HAFTORAH SUMMARY COURTESY OF CHABAD.ORG

are impossible for a human being to have predicted. The fate of the Jewish nation, if they are to abandon G-d, is specifically described in horrid detail (See Vayikra 26, Devarim 28:15-68, 29:17-28, 30:1-10, 31:16-21, much of Yeshaya and Yechezekel). Sure enough, all of the details have indeed occurred throughout history. The Torah writes that the Jews will be thrown out of their land, return, and then thrown out again. It then foretells that the Jews will come back to Israel much later. The Jews held on to their faith in the Torah's promises of their return to Israel for 2,000 years. And now in modern times, the Jews have come back. It is surely not coincidental that there have been no other nations who have not assimilated into their occupying or host nation after hundreds of years of exile and destruction. Moreover, not only did the Jews survive 2,000 years of exile, but they did so despite being scattered

among various nations without a common language or culture. This was all stated way in advance! The Torah, written over 3,000 years ago, teaches that the Jews will be dispersed to all the corners of the earth but would maintain their distinct identity. What human being would write such nonsense? How could he expect the Jews to accept it and live with faith in it? But if G-d wrote it, it is obviously understandable. He can know that the Jews would never assimilate into the nations of the world. And if the Jews knew G-d wrote it by their witnessing G-d speak to them at Sinai, their faith in their eventual return to Israel is comprehended. If one takes the time to stop and think about the unique aspects of the Torah, one is inevitably drawn to the conclusion that the Torah could not have been written by a human being. It must have been authored by G-d. WWW.AISH.COM

Jewish Organizations Ask Supreme Court Not to Interfere With Religious Liberties of Religious Schools An impressive array of Orthodox Jewish organizations and Rabbinical Courts from across the United States has filed an Amicus Curiae ("friend of the court") Brief with the United States Supreme Court, in which they advocated that controversies between religious institutions and their present or former employees should be considered and determined by religious authorities applying the principles that govern the faith, such as a Beth Din ("Rabbinical Court"). t the center of the debate in the case of Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the "ministerial exception," which bars secular courts from presiding over employmentrelated lawsuits against religious organizations by employees who perform religious functions. The Supreme Court will consider whether the "ministerial exception" extends to a teacher at a religious school who is involved in both the secular curriculum and the religious aspects of the school. The brief was filed by The National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs ("COLPA"), which is an organization of volunteer lawyers that advocates the position of the Orthodox Jewish community on legal issues affecting religious rights and liberties in the United States. COLPA has filed amicus briefs in the Supreme Court of the _______________________________

_______________________________ United States in 28 cases since 1968. COLPA filed the brief on behalf of Agudath Israel of America, National Council of Young Israel, Agudas Harabonim of the United States and Canada, Rabbinical Alliance of America, Torah Umesorah, Baltimore Bais Din, Beth Din of the Rabbinical Council of California, Boston Rabbinical Court of Justice, Kehilla Bais Din of Los Angeles, Maysharim Bais Din of Lakewood, and Bais Din Tzedek U'Mishpat of New York. In their brief, the organizations assert that every Jewish employee hired by a religious school who performs any religious function should be covered by the "ministerial excep-

tion," whether it is a Rabbi or a teacher. They maintain that disputes involving a Jewish employee of a religious school who performs any religious duty should be heard by a Beth Din, rather than having a secular court become involved in the matter and attempt to ascertain the employee's specific role in the school relative to the religious components of the institution. "The 'ministerial exception' that is being defined in this case should, in the view of these amici, be applied broadly to withdraw from the jurisdiction of secular courts litigation that could and should be decided in accordance with religious guidelines by religious authorities," the organizations wrote in their brief to the court. "This principle extends beyond employment controversies with employees whose 'primary duties' are religious. It includes all claims made by or against any employee whose duties relate in any manner to the religious doctrine or teaching of his or her employer, particularly if, as is true of Jewish institutions, a meaningful internal religious remedy is available to the plaintiff." In their amicus brief, the Orthodox Jewish organizations describe for the Supreme Court a number of relevant propositions of Jewish Law that affect the resolution of employment-related controversies involving Jewish religious institutions and Jewish employees. "Courts should not be permitted to substitute their superficial understanding of religious doctrine for more learned evaluations by scholars committed to observance of religious precepts," concluded the organizations in their brief.

Each warning is accompanied by a smoking cessation phone number, 1-800-QUITNOW, which will allow it to be seen at the time it is most relevant to smokers, increasing the likelihood that smokers who want to quit will be successful.

When implemented in September 2012, all cigarettes manufactured for sale or distribution in the United States will need to include the new graphic health warnings on their packages. The introduction of these warnings is expected to have a significant public health impact by decreasing the number of smokers, resulting in lives saved,

increased life expectancy, and improved health status. “The Tobacco Control Act requires FDA to provide current and potential smokers with clear and truthful information about the risks of smoking – these warnings do that,” said Commissioner of Food and Drugs Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D.

Boro Park Body Shop Accused of Fraud... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 indictment charges that Hershy Greenberger assured an undercover Detective Investigator that Geico would cover all the repair costs. When a Geico claims adjuster arrived to photograph the damage, it had been “enhanced,” according to the indictment, with another dent in the same fender and other damage. Greenberger and Berger are charged with making the additional damage to increase the bill and fraudulently charge Geico for the repairs. Perfect Collision is also charged with billing Geico more than $1,000 for a rental

car, in an undercover’s name, even though the undercover told Greenberger that he did not want a rental car for the week of the repairs. While another Geico claims adjuster was at Perfect Collision to photograph another car car, he happened to spot a minivan he had been assigned to photograph for the company the following day. Without notifying Perfect Collision, he took pictures of the minivan, which had little to no damage. The following day, when he returned to take official photographs for Geico’s records, there

was new, extensive damage to the fender, driver side door and other areas, according to the indictment. Detective Investigators executing search warrants on Perfect Collision and Berger’s home recovered more than $700,000 in cash, a 2011 application for public assistance claiming Berger earned $350 per week as an employee of Perfect Collision, and business records. Evidence recovered in the searches will be used to investigate other crimes the defendants may have committed, including

insurance fraud and welfare fraud. The investigation is continuing. An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt. The case was investigated by Detective Investigator Glen Kenny, supervised by Deputy Chief Rackets Investigator Greg Deboer. Joseph Ponzi is Chief Rackets Investigator. The case is being prosecuted by Joseph A. DiBenedetto, Rackets Division Deputy Bureau Chief. Michael Vecchione is Chief of the Rackets Division.

A highlight of the evening was a special video presentation that illustrated the panoply of health-related programs and services that MJHS provides to its patients and families. Speaking from his hospital room on the video was MJHS Foundation Immediate Past President Isaac Assael, who was toasted for nearly four decades of selfless contributions to MJHS. Assael was recovering from an accident and injected humor to explain his unexpected absence. Telling his audience that he has selected MJHS Home Care for his physical therapy, he continued by noting that his home care therapist will provide the best recovery plan, hence getting him back on his feet, ready to resume board business. Having served MJHS in various leadership capacities, Mr. Assael was also praised for his strategic vision. "Serving on various MJHS boards of directors has been a distinct honor and a true labor of love," Assael said. "It's an honor to carry on the tradition of the "Four Brooklyn Ladies" who become synonymous with the work that we do and be part of MJHS' impressive transformation.

I'm proud of this amazing organization and I can't thank you enough for this honor", he added. As awards for such golfing achievements as longest drive, closest to the pin, and top foursomes were presented to participants, several celebratory personalities were recognized from the podium. Former heavyweight boxing champion Gerry Cooney who rose to fame in the late 1970s as "The Great White Hope" with the help of boxing promoter Don King was also present. Originally from Long Island, Mr. Cooney now lives in Fanwood, New Jersey. The evening concluded with a silent auction for the MJHS Foundation and the day of giving and leisurely fun officially ended with guests expressing anticipation for next year's event.

"When I first started with MJHS,” says Feldman, “we had an annual budget of $60 million. And now our yearly budget is over $800 million. We have seen significant growth in the five boroughs of New York and serve 40 to 50 thousand people a year." Speaking of MJHS' strong connections with various Jewish organizations and wellknown leaders, Mr. Feldman said, "MJHS has a very special and close relationship with Agudath Israel's "Chaim Aruchim" (long life) program that provides end of life care for the terminally ill. I am honored to work with Shmuel Lefkowitz of the Agudah as we both share the traditional Jewish perspective that we must do all that is possible to keep people alive for as long as we can."

Providing comfort and solace to people suffering from a litany of illnesses resonates greatly with Feldman. Sharing heartfelt and personal recollections, Mr. Feldman said, "As a youngster, I was always a fat kid and when I was sent to sleep-away camp, it was really difficult for me. I was never picked for team sports and was considered a virtual outsider. Each day, while at camp, I would cross off the days remaining until the end of camp on my calendar, I couldn't wait to be at home where I could feel comfortable and secure." In a voice reverberating with emotion, Feldman said, "How much more so is being at home important for a person who is suffering from a debilitating illness. They desperately need to be in familiar surroundings, where they have access to their loved ones, to their possessions, to everything that their lives represent. That's why I feel that the home care services that MJHS provides are so imperative to the quality of life that our patients deserve."

Israeli Contractor Sees Prices, and Buildings, Collapsing ... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 confused. But in September, everyone will wake up and again start buying apartments, but at the same time I believe that prices will fall in some cities. I expect prices to fall by 5-10% in Tel Aviv, Yavne, Pardess Hanna, and Hadera. I expect prices to rise by 3-5% in Hod Hasharon, Rishon LeZion, Holon, and Jerusalem. Haifa will remain unchanged because there will be a drop in demand alongside a drop in supply, but Ashkelon and Beersheva will get hit with the steepest price falls because of the security situation." What about the second-hand housing market? Mizrachi: "There is a bubble in the second-hand housing market. Unquestionably… The difference between a new and secondhand apartment should be around 25%. Current prices do not come near this and are unrealistic. The second-hand housing market will see a drop in prices of 20-25% within six months. I'm talking about the center of the country; this market has already stagnated in the periphery." Under these circumstances, what is your current development plan? "We made deals until now, but we've stopped. Land prices have peaked, and we should see where the market is headed, and not take risks. Contractors will now wait, sell

what they have, and not start new projects. Where apartment prices begin to fall, land prices will also come down." What is your opinion about National Outline Plan 38 - Earthquake Reinforcement and Retrofitting? "It's not something I'll go into. I don’t believe that it's possible to add 120 tons onto the roof of a building and for everything to be fine. This plan is like taking an elderly woman, giving her a facelift, and saying that she's young. It's all cosmetic. The moment the first building collapses, the entire program will be halted that day. And I say that it will happen. There are already buildings that have been retrofitted and are leaning sideways. The solution for urban renewal is vacate and build projects. This maximizes land use, increases the number of housing units, and improves the current residents' standard of living. We're about to start several vacate and building projects in Or Yehuda."

Manischewitz Celebrates Opening ofNew Corporate HQ in Newark, NJ

“Yona Matzah”: Israeli Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger (center), along with other distinguished guests, including Manischewitz co-CEO’s Paul Bensabat and Alan Bankier, celebrate the opening of Manischewitz’ new corporate headquarters with the production of the World’s Longest Matzo—nearly 25 feet long, and over 25 pounds! As part of an ongoing effort to rebrand itself, Manischewitz has relocated both their production facilities and corporate offices. Paul Bensabat and Alan Bankier, Co-CEO’s of The Manischewitz Company, the leader in kosher specialty foods for over 120 years, presided over a ribbon-cutting event last month at its new corporate headquarters, now located in the Manischewitz 200,000 square foot state-of-the-art, manufacturing facility in Newark, New Jersey. he festivities included a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and a Mayoral Proclamation reading, and were attended by several honored guests including the Mayor of Newark, The Honorable Cory Booker, the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yona Metzger, National Manischewitz CookOff Winner Stuart Davis, as well as many other dignitaries and community leaders. The event also included a unique demonstration of the plant’s capabilities; the production of the World’s Longest Matzo (nearly 25 foot long and over 25 pounds), documented by the Guinness Book of World Records. “The new corporate office is just one more example of the new face of Manischewitz” says co-CEO Alain Bankier, “which also includes a new entrepreneurial management and spirit, new packaging, many new exciting products, an updated website and social media programs, as well as, community initiatives such as the founding sponsorship of Jewish American Heritage Month and the support of other charitable organizations. As you can see, this is a company which is aggressively moving into the future.” “Manschewitz has been a part of both Jewish, as well as non Jewish, families for

over 120 years because of its superior, quality products. Manischewitz is now repositioned for the future and well prepared to serve all American families and able to supply innovative, as well as traditional food products which are in line with today’s food trends such as the health and wellness segment. The “New” Manischewitz is now ready to be around for at least another 120 years,” says Paul Bensabat, Co-CEO of the Manischewitz Company. “We are very pleased to inaugurate our new headquarters and become part of the fast growing community of exciting new companies in Newark, NJ.”

About The Manischewitz Company The Manischewitz Company is a specialty food company that includes the Manischewitz®, Season®, Guiltless Gourmet®, Asian Harvest®, Rokeach®, Mishpacha®, Horowitz Margareten®, Jason®, Mother’s®, Carmel®, Croyden House®, Mrs. Adler’s® and Goodman’s® brands.

The Manischewitz brand was founded in a small bakery built to make Passover matzo in 1888 by Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1932, Rabbi Manischewitz opened a plant in Jersey City, NJ, replacing the operation in Cincinnati. This move paved the way for the introduction of new products like Tam Tam Crackers, Chicken Soup, Broth, Noodles and Gefilte Fish. In 2011, the company closed the Jersey City facility and today, all plant operations take place in Newark, NJ. Manischewitz continues to introduce unique, delicious, premium specialty food products such as coating crumbs, soup mixes, baked goods and more.

Governor Christie Signs Into By Popular Request “Designers’ ShowHouse: Law Bipartisan Pension and Health Benefits Reform Décor by the Shore” HAS BEEN EXTENDED THRU TUESDAY JULY 5, 2011

136 Ocean Avenue, Deal, NJ Designer ShowHouse elegantly staged the past month in a magnificent historic mansion in Deal, NJ – with rooms representing 14 well-established and nationally recognized interior designers.

Hours: Sunday 11am – 6pm, Monday thru Thursday 10am - 6pm, Fridays 10am - 4pm, Saturdays Closed Price: $30

Governor Chris Christie signed into law on Tuesday landmark pension and health benefit reform, marking months of hard work, negotiation, compromise and ultimately bipartisan support. The fundamental reforms shake up New Jersey’s out-of-date, antiquated and increasingly expensive pension and health benefit systems and bring to an end years of broken promises and fiscal mismanagement by securing the long-term solvency of the pension and benefit systems. At the same time, critical savings for state and local governments are achieved – pension reform alone will provide savings to New Jersey taxpayers of over $120 billion over the next 30 years, and an additional $3.1 billion over the next 10 years from health benefits reform. his is a defining moment in New Jersey’s history. At a time when our state, along with dozens of others around the country are facing unprecedented fiscal challenges, a rarity happened. We stopped just talking about doing the big things and actually delivered. By working together, Republicans and Democrats have shown that when we put action before demagoguery and results before partisanship, we can accomplish great things for the people of New Jersey. “By daring to be bold and take on the risks of addressing the big issues, we are doing what was once unimaginable – saving billions of dollars for taxpayers, fixing these systems in order to save them, and providing real, long-term fiscal stability for future generations of New Jerseyans. “I want to once again thank Senate President Sweeney, Speaker Oliver, Senate Minority Leader Kean and Assembly Minority Leader DeCroce for their commitment and leadership in tackling these challenges. Every New Jerseyan can share in this victory that came through cooperation, bipartisanship and compromise,” concluded Governor Christie. The historic bipartisan legislation was sponsored by Senators Stephen M. Sweeney (D-Salem, Cumberland and Gloucester) and Joseph Pennacchio (R-Morris, Passaic) as well as Assemblypersons Louis D. Greenwald (D-Camden), Declan J. O’Scanlon, Jr. (R-Mercer, Monmouth) and cosponsored by Senator Jennifer Beck (RMercer, Monmouth). The Pension Reform Plan: Protecting Retirees and Providing New Jerseyans Over $120 Billion in Taxpayer Savings By 2041

“T

The reforms will ensure long-term solvency, while slowing the rapid growth of government costs, spending and taxes that have overwhelmed taxpayers. With reform, future retirees are protected and New Jerseyans provided with over $120 billion in taxpayer savings through 2041. Increasing the Funding Ratio of the Pension System to 88%. These reforms protect the pension system for retirees, increasing the funded ratio of the combined state and local systems from the current 62% to more than 88% over the next thirty years. By 2041, this will reduce total pension underfunding to $37 billion. Without these critical reforms, the unfunded liability across the pension systems would have skyrocketed to $183 billion, resulting in a massive impact on state and local budgets. Providing New Jerseyans Over $120 Billion in Taxpayer Savings by 2041. This comprehensive set of reforms means critical savings for state and local governments and real property tax relief for New Jerseyans. • $79 Billion in State Contribution Savings: Over the next 30 years, the state pension contribution will be $148 billion, a projected savings of nearly $80 billion. Without reform, the state is projected to contribute $227 billion over the same period. • $43 Billion in Local Government Contribution Savings: Over the next 30 years, local government pension contributions will be $70 billion, a projected savings of nearly $43 billion. Without reform, local governments are projected to contribute $113 billion over the same period.

Israel’s Dead Sea a See What’s Blooming at Contender for “New Seven Jerusalem Botanical Gardens Wonders of Nature”

The Jerusalem Botanical Gardens is situated on 30 acres at the southeast corner of the Hebrew University’s Givat Ram campus. BY ABIGAIL KLEIN LEICHMAN Group of tourists visiting Dead Sea, the contender for “New Seven Wonders of Nature.” Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accompanied by Israel Tourism Commissioner Stas Misezhnikov and other officials, visited the Dead Sea yesterday where he voted for the site as part of the New7Wonders of Nature online competition. ravelers and nature-lovers from around the world can vote for the Dead Sea in the finals of the New7Wonders of Nature competition--an international online competition ranking the top seven natural wonders of the world. The Dead Sea advanced to the final round

by placing among the top 28 tourist sites, as determined by more than one billion votes around the world. "Whoever has been by or in it knows how unique it is," said Netanyahu. "It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and we have one message: Vote for the Dead Sea. It is very much alive!" Travelers can vote for the Dead Sea on the campaign's social media sites, w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / Vo t e D e a d S e a , www.twitter.com/VoteDeadSea and www.youtube.com/VoteDeadSea, or the official campaign website, www.votedeadsea.com, through November 20, 2011.

This urban oasis boasts the largest collection of plant species in Israel, and shares it with an increasing number of local and international visitors. op aboard the jolly red locomotive that winds around the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens, and you're likely to see blooming and budding everywhere you look. But it's not just the 10,000 species of plants that are blossoming at this 30-acre oasis at the southeast corner of the Hebrew University's Givat Ram campus. The gardens are also alive with the sounds of some 180,000 visitors per year, up from 80,000 in 2008. Under the directorship of Jerusalem native Oren Ben-Yosef for the past three years, a whole new palette of programs is being implemented to cater to the capital city's multiethnic population. "We have the largest collection [of plants] in the country and are a living showcase for biodiversity," director of development Sue Surkes tells ISRAEL21c. "We translate the plant biodiversity into trying to encourage human diversity as well."

After nine sessions on neutral ground, facilitated by teacher/translators, the kids do plantings at each other's schools. A newly upgraded Bible Path, punctuated by new plantings, outdoor classrooms, interpretational aids and innovative programming, is aimed at bringing in religiously oriented visitors, be they Jewish, Christian or Muslim. Orthodox Jewish student teachers will soon be invited to workshops relating to the many botanical and agricultural references in the Bible, so that they can share this infor-

mation with their future students. And head scientist Dr Ori Fragman-Sapir is developing an international online course on the flora of the Holy Land that will conclude with an optional one-week botanical tour of Israel. Botanical gardens in several other countries are participating. Teenagers from disadvantaged areas of Jerusalem are going to be invited to an environmental leadership course that will require them to follow up with public service in their own neighborhoods, helping to create school or community gardens. And because the city's ultra-Orthodox schoolchildren rarely have opportunities for nature trips, the Botanical Gardens' staff is starting to take the show on the road, bringing hands-on activities to their schools. An annual wine festival has been successfully bringing Jerusalem's young urban professionals to the gardens as well, where they can sample the wares near the scenic lake in the midst of the site. Says Surkes: "The idea is to open the gardens to as many activities in as many plantrelated fields as possible to as many populations as possible." Growth is in the air Opened in 1985, the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens divides its plantings into sections: Mediterranean, Central and Southwest Asian, Australian, North American, European and Southern African. It also has a large collection of bonsai trees, a tropical conservatory and an herb and medicinal plant garden. In Fragman-Sapir's laboratory, grantfunded collaborative research projects range from studying conditions that can contribute to strengthening biodiversity in the Mediterranean, to finding creative ways of saving endangered botanical species. "We try to collect, grow and test a lot of these wild plants to see if they can be grown and marketed as ornamentals," says Surkes. There will soon be more: A Children's Discovery Path, featuring a 95-meter treetop walk and nine interactive stations on different aspect of plants in their environment; and a biodiversity education center showing how plants adapt to environmental extremes. A future expansion will give the garden space for sections of plants from South America and Southeast Asia, as well as a new entrance, visitor center, horticultural school and parking areas.

About 180,000 visitors enjoy the botanical gardens every year.

The City of David Comes Alive ADL to Delta Air Lines: 'Do Not This Summer With New be a Party' to Discriminatory Selection of Innovative Tours Policies Against Jews and Israelis In response to concerns of religious discrimination raised by the inclusion of Saudi Arabian Airlines in the global SkyTeam Alliance, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called on Delta Air Lines to ensure that Jewish, Israeli and other non-Muslim passengers do not face discrimination as a result of the partnership. n a letter to Delta, Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, called on the American carrier to make clear to officials of Saudi Arabian Airlines and to the Saudi government that “it will not be a party” to discriminatory policies. The League spoke out after questions about the alliance were raised in news reports – notably, whether as a result of the partnership Delta Air Lines would be forced to bar Jews and holders of Israeli passports from boarding flights bound for Jeddah and other Saudi cities. “We understand that Delta, as any airline, is required to comply with the visa requirements of the destination country,” wrote Mr. Foxman in a letter to Delta CEO Richard H. Anderson. “However, Saudi Arabia’s past practice of banning travelers with an “Israel” stamp in their passport from gaining entry into the country runs contrary to the spirit and intent of Delta’s non-discrimination policy. “While this practice affects all travelers who previously visited Israel, it has a disproportionate impact on Jewish passengers,” continued Mr. Foxman. “Moreover, Saudi Arabia also bars anyone from bringing into Saudi Arabia religious ritual objects, including religious texts, from any faith other than Islam, effectively banning religiously observant Jews from entering the country.” In a statement posted on the airline’s Web site on June 23, a Delta spokesman stated

The ancient City of David, the original settled neighborhood of Jerusalem, has announced this week a new selection of innovative tours highlighting recent and past archeological discoveries taking place throughout the summer, including: • The Archeological Experience at the Emek Tzurim National Park: Discovering the Past Hidden in the Dust: A unique exploration of the Temple Mount's glorious past, travelers will be able to sift through rubble that originated in ancient buildings atop the Temple Mount while learning about the artifacts from on-site archeologists and guides. • Tour of the biblical City of David: A tour bringing travelers through Jerusalem's biblical sites and places where the city's the most stirring, remarkable artifacts were unearthed. Tour guides will lead travelers through an impressive underground world in Warren's Shaft, the city's ancient water system, as well as an illuminated walk in the waters of the Gihon Spring that flows through Hezekiah's Tunnel. • In the footsteps of the Pilgrims - New Discoveries and Revelations from the Second Temple Period: A tour leading travelers in the footsteps of the architects of the city and incorporating recent archeological discoveries as well as the Shiloah Pool and the Herodian Road. • Enchanted Jerusalem-the New Nighttime Experience at the City of David: The new

evening tour of the City of David begins at the Hatzofeh lookout point emphasizing the unique, low position of the biblical City of David in comparison with Jerusalem's Old City walls. The tour will conclude with an innovative light show projected onto various antiquities, telling the story of the City of David through movement and sound. • Twilight at the City of David: A magical three-hour tour in a special nighttime ambiance allowing travelers to view the city through a course of excavations including David's Palace and Hezekiah's Tunnel. The tour concludes with harp music under the ancient olive trees in the King's Garden. • Following the Water to Jerusalem Hasmonean Aqueduct Tour: A flashlight tour highlighting the two 2,000-year-old aqueducts constructed to bring water from the Pools of Solomon to the Temple Mount and Upper City. Travelers will also witness the incredible views of ancient Jerusalem and the sophisticated water system built by King Herod on 150 BCE. • Kidron Monuments Tour: A tour of the massive, elaborate monuments in the Kidron Valley around the Old City's original municipal border between the City of David and the Mount of Olives. For more information on summer tours at the City of David, visit www.cityofdavid.org.il. For more information on travel to Israel, visit www.goisrael.com.

Abe Foxman: “Saudi Arabia’s practice of banning travelers with an “Israel” stamp in their passport from gaining entry into the country runs contrary to the spirit and intent of Delta’s non-discrimination policy.” that, “…it’s important to realize that visa requirements to enter any country are dictated by that nation’s government, not the airlines, and they apply to anyone entering the country regardless of whether it’s by plane, bus or train.” The League responded, “We expect Delta, and any other American airline which flies to Riyadh or partners with an airline that flies there to ensure that its passengers – whatever their faith – not be discriminated against, and that no American airline in any way enable, or facilitate this discrimination, whatever the regulations of Saudi Arabia.” ADL is making similar appeals to United Airlines and other American carriers who service Saudi Arabian destinations either on their own or through code-share partnerships. The League is also reaching out to the government of Saudi Arabia to get clarification of their visa policy with respect to Israeli and Jewish travelers.

Israeli Pre-Teens Win Thinking Games World Championship BY HILLEL FENDEL Four students from the Maaleh HaTorah Boys School have been crowned World Thinking Games Champions. he 5th and 6th graders took part in the Thinking Games Olympics in Lisbon, Portugal last week, and came out #1 among 18 countries’ delegations, including from Spain, Britain, Brazil and Australia. The boys, who live and study in Maaleh Adumim, just east of Jerusalem, are Dov Isaac (who won all 12 games he played) and Ro’i Haber of Grade 5, and Elyashiv

Friedman and Aviad Loberbaum of the 6th grade. The competition involved team play and individual play of four games: Avalon, Octi, Corridor, and good old-fashioned checkers. The Maaleh HaTorah team won regional and national titles in Israel on their way to Portugal. In addition to mastering depth of strategy and thinking skills, the four students also had to prepare in other ways for the games. For one thing, they learned the topic of leaving the Land of Israel and when it is permitted. After consulting with rabbis and learning the Halakhic [Jewish-legal] issues themselves, the decision to go was made based on the importance of representing Israel honorably in an international forum. “It was a great sanctification of G-d’s Name,” said Moshe Ben-Ami, the teacher who accompanied them both before and during the games. “People from around the world were inspired to see these students,

how they behaved, and how well they thought and played – a far cry from what they thought at first, that their yarmulkes and tzitzit [ritual fringes] were some kind of magic charm.” In addition, the Israeli delegation had to prepare kosher food for five days. “We took one suitcase of clothes, and one for food and utensils,” Ben-Ami said. The students went to see some Jewish sights in Lisbon, but there was not much to see: “We prayed at the Great Synagogue, which is now generally closed except for holidays. We also saw the Street of the Jews, on which non-Jews now live. And that’s about it…” “It was a good competition, thank G-d, and we won," said one of the students. “The truth is that the regional and national contests in Israel were harder than the ones in Portugal.” Five years ago, the Israeli delegation – from the northern town of Misgav – also won, but there were only three other delegations then.
