ARAB MK AGHAST AS IDF PREPARES YESHA RESIDENTS FOR SEPTEMBER The IDF has begun training Judea and Samaria residents for possible attempts by Arabs to storm settlements en masse in September BY GIL RONEN The IDF has begun training Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria in advance of an expected Arab onslaught in September, ultra-leftist paper Haaretz reported Tuesday. rabs are expected to try and march en masse on Jewish communities, hoping to overwhelm the Jews and provoke

them into shooting at the Arabs. Video of Jewish settlers shooting into an Arab crowd can then be used for propaganda purposes to portray Israel in a demonic light, in the classic cat-and-mouse-and-videocam manipulative tactic used by Arabs against Israel to great effect for many years. The mass marches are to be part of a
Palestinian Authority public diplomacy campaign that will accompany a PA appeal to the United Nations for recognition as an independent state. According to Haaretz, the IDF has marked out two topographical lines of defense for each of the communities in Judea and Samaria. If an Arab mob crosses the first
line, tear gas can be used against it. If it crosses the second line, the community’s defenders may fire at the lower limbs of the intruders. MK Ahmed Tibi (Ra’am Ta’al) responded to the news by saying that “the IDF is training settlers to shoot Arabs.” ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.COM
REPORT: GADDAFI FAMILY FLEES TO ALGERIA Algerian media report that members of Muammar Gaddafi’s family entered Algeria Monday, as Libyan rebels continued to search for the embattled former leader. he Algerian Press Service quotes the foreign ministry as saying that Gaddafi’s wife, daughter, two of his sons and their children arrived in Algeria early Monday after crossing the Libyan border. In Libya, rebel forces are drawing closer to Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte after seizing control of the country’s capital.

A rebel spokesman Sunday said anti-government forces will seize Sirte by force if negotiations with tribal leaders for its surrender fail. Gaddafi has not been seen since rebel fighters seized Tripoli, and the Sirte region is considered one area where he may have gone into hiding. The head of the opposition Transitional National Council, Mustafa Jalil, said Monday that Gaddafi still poses a threat to Libya and the world. Jalil also called for the continued support of NATO, which has been carrying out airstrikes against pro-Gaddafi forces since March under a UN mandate to protect civilians. His comments came as defense officials from countries involved militarily in Libya met in Qatar. Leaders from countries backing NATO operations over Libya are meeting in Paris Thursday to discuss ways to help Libyans now that the opposition has control of the capital. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is among those who will attend the talks. France said it dispatched a team to Tripoli Monday to reopen its embassy after closing it for six months as rebels fought for control of the country. The International Organization for Migration said Monday its ship evacuated about 850 stranded migrants and displaced Libyans from Tripoli one day earlier. A Red Cross ship entered Tripoli harbor Sunday carrying supplies for the city, which

A correspondent for the VOA News Service reported that the capital has widespread shortages of medicine, drinking water, and other basic supplies. And many areas are still without electricity. Human Rights Watch said Sunday that pro-Gaddafi forces committed possible war crimes as rebels moved into the Libyan capital last week. They say researchers have documented more than 110 corpses in four locations in Tripoli. Many of them appear to have
been killed execution-style either while in detention or with their hands bound. A metal warehouse in a compound controlled until last week by Libya’s elite Khamis Brigade contains about 50 scorched skeletons. A VOA correspondent who visited the structure said another eight bodies lie outside, one with his hands tied behind his back. A survivor said that as rebel forces approached, loyalist soldiers shot their prisoners, then tried to burn the bodies. VOANEWS.COM
U.S. DEATH TOLL FROM HURRICANE IRENE RISES TO 40 The death toll from Hurricane and Tropical Storm Irene has risen sharply to at least 40 as of Tuesday as more bodies were pulled from floodwaters, according to state authorities. leven states along the East Coast reported deaths from Irene, which left the United States by Sunday night but
E
left a great deal of destruction in its wake. A total of 2.85 million customers still are without power due to Irene, the U.S. Department of Energy said Tuesday. An even bigger threat is widespread flooding caused by tidal waves and torrential rains. In Vermont, the worst flooding in 84 years made many roads and bridges impass-
able. The state government began mobilizing helicopters to deliver food, drinking water, and other essentials to those stranded by severe flooding. Federal officials began touring the affected states and assessing damages they suffered. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate visited North Carolina, Virginia, and Vermont on Tuesday, and are scheduled to go to New York and New Jersey on Wednesday to survey ongoing recovery and response efforts on the ground following Irene, according to the White House.
ISRAEL FEARS REPEAT SINAI TERROR ATTACK GAZA TERRORISTS SAID TO HAVE BOUGHT LIBYAN ROCKETS The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has increased its presence along the Israeli border with Egypt. The IDF fears Gazabased terror organizations are planning attacks from the Sinai Peninsula similar to those two weeks ago that resulted in the killing of at least eight Israelis. he IDF believes Islamic Jihad, amongst others, is preparing to launch an assault from Egyptian territory. “We have to get used to the fact that there is a new threat here and it demands attention.

We won’t be taking any chances,” an Israeli military official told the Hebrew news portal Ynet. There is no barrier for much of the 150mile border. In the wake of the Aug. 18 attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to fully seal the frontier by the end of 2012. Terror organizations in Hamas-controlled Gaza continue to rearm. Reports on Tuesday suggested over the last six months they purchased antiaircraft and antitank rockets from Libya.

“We will need tight cooperation with Egypt to crack down on the smuggling. Naturally, Egypt needs no more pressure from us to sure up its own borders with Libya,” an Israeli official told The Telegraph. While Israel is facing an increased threat to its southwest, other ongoing perils remain. Terrorists fired another rocket into Israel from Gaza on Monday—the 521st this year. To the north, Iran-backed Hezbollah is calling for Israel’s destruction. The Palestinians must not give up on a “grain of sand or a drop of water,” according to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan
Nasrallah. To the east, Tehran announced on Monday that it has begun the mass production of anti-armor rockets. The projectiles will target enemy tanks, armored vehicles, and munitions sites, Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi told reporters. “The lightweight rockets with high precision and armor-penetration power are suitable for ground and tactical operations that can play an important role in destroying targets in close and distance strikes and regular and irregular wars,” Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV reported Vahidi as saying.ё

Israeli Tennis Stars Shine at Israel Deploying Warships in U.S. Open Red Sea-Iran Following Suit BY JV STAFF WRITES
BY GAVRIEL QUEENANN
This year’s U.S. Open has proven a special treat for New York’s Jewish tennis fans, who have been thus far been cheering Israel’s top tennis players to victory. Matches featuring Israeli star athletes have become some of the loudest events on the grounds.
The IDF on Monday deployed two warships in the Red Sea near the border with Egypt following warnings terrorists are planning another attack on southern Israel from Egyptian soil. lso on Monday, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz ordered increased deployments across the entire southern command, especially near the IsraelEgypt border. The move, ostensibly due to increased terror warnings, comes concurrent to Israel's agreement to allow Egypt to deploy 1,500 more troops in areas B and C of the Sinai in order to conduct counter-terror operations on the Peninsula.

Israel's south, especially near the border, has been flooded with military forces, deployed in a manner defined by one security source as "unprecedented." No changes in security alignments were observed on the Egyptian side of the border, but Egyptian security sources did say counter-terror raids were being staged ahead of Eid al-Fitr - the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan - due to fears of increased holiday violence.

The IDF has also deployed advanced technology in the area - including UAVs - in order to thwart terror attacks. Military intelligence sources said on Tuesday that a terror cell left Gaza intending to infiltrate Israel through Sinai. The security situation in southern Israel has been particularly tense over the past few weeks, following a series of terror attacks that claimed the lives of eight Israelis in midAugust; as well as several days in which Israel's south and western Negev communities suffered heavy shelling by Gaza Stripbased terror groups. In a provocative move certain to ratchetup regional tensions, Iranian naval commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told the state-run agency the Islamic Republic is planning to send its 15th fleet to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Islamic Republic's 15th fleet is comprised of a submarine and a several warships. Sayyari noted that Iran's Navy plans to have "an active presence in the high seas in line with the guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei with the purpose of serving the country's interests." “The presence of Iran's army in the high seas will convey the message of peace and friendship to all countries,” he said.

UN Extends Lebanon Peacekeeping Mission by One Year
UN Security Council extends UNIFIL’s mission in Lebanon for another year, says the situation remains a threat to international security BY ELAD BENARI The UN Security Council extended UNIFIL’s peacekeeping mission in Lebanon for another year on Tuesday. he Associated Press reported that the Security Council said the situation in Lebanon remains a threat to international peace and security, thus requiring the extension. The council praised the role of the UN peacekeeping force, which is deployed with the Lebanese Armed Forces, but condemned “in the strongest terms” terrorist attacks against peacekeepers and called on all sides to respect the safety of UN personnel. UN peacekeepers have been charged with monitoring Lebanon’s southern border with Israel since 1978. After the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006, UNIFIL expanded to almost 12,000 troops. The expansion was called for under UN Security Council resolution 1701, which brought the war to an end. UNIFIL operates alongside 15,000

In July, UNIFIL was targeted by a roadside bomb which blew up a UN vehicle near the port city of Sidon. At least three French peacekeepers were wounded in that incident. A similar attack near Sidon in May wounded six Italian peacekeepers, prompting Italy to look into reducing its peacekeeping contingent in Lebanon. It is unknown who was behind the attacks. Hezbollah, a likely suspect, condemned the attack in July, saying it is “a criminal act that is not acceptable.”

PALESTINIAN TERRORIST STRIKES OUTSIDE TEL AVIV NIGHTCLUB ______________________
Continued from Cover “We are discovering that he planned the act in advance,” Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino said. “Tonight’s event gives us additional proof that that terrorists are still motivated to carry out attacks.” The incident was the second terrorist attack in a month that also has been filled with barrages of rocket attacks emanating from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. On Aug. 18, eight people were killed in a coordinated series of gun and missile attacks on Israelis traveling just north of the Israeli resort town of Eilat near the Egyptian border.
Yohanan Danino : “Tonight’s event gives us additional proof that that terrorists are still motivated to carry out attacks.” ______________________ Two days later, rocket strikes killed two Israelis in Beersheba, which with a population of 200,000 is the largest city in Israel’s south. In

one strike, terrorists mistakenly hit a town in Egypt, injuring an Egyptian woman. According to a count by The Israel Project, terrorists in Gaza have launched about 520 rockets, missiles, and mortars at Israel since January, well over twice the number during all of 2010. The attacks have occurred despite two ceasefires declared by Gaza-based Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Terrorists violated the first ceasefire, which they announced Aug. 21, by firing a barrage of rockets and mortars at Israel. The second ceasefire, which Palestinian Islamic Jihad declared Aug. 26, was broken the same day by terrorists launching two rockets at Israel and three more since then.
GAZA TERRORISTS DECLARE SECOND CEASEFIRE FOLLOWING WEEK OF ATTACKS Hamas government spokesman Taher Nunu said Friday, “The government has called on the Palestinian factions not to give an opportunity to the (Israeli) occupation government to escalate its aggression further.” Various terrorist factions signed onto the ceasefire, according to another
alestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist faction that claimed responsibility for the wave of assaults in southern Israel near the border with Egypt, said Friday (Aug. 26) that it would institute a new ceasefire effective 1:00 PM local time.

Islamic Jihad is a small group with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood. In a statement Thursday, the group threatened to extend the range of its rocket capabilities, sending projectiles even deeper into Israeli territory, Israel Radio reported. “Our war with the occupation has begun and there is no possibility of discussing a truce,” the group said in a statement. An Egyptian government probe found that 12 terrorists from four different groups, among them at least three Egyptians, carried out the Aug. 18 attacks along a 7.5-mile (12-km stretch) along a road just north of the resort town of Eilat. Eight Israelis, among them six civilians, died from the attacks. Since Friday, rockets from Gaza have hit sev-

eral southern Israeli cities, killing two more Israelis in Beersheba, the largest city in Israel’s southern region. One rocket fired from Gaza hit the Egyptian town of Rafah, injuring an Egyptian woman there. On Thursday (Aug. 25), a volley of rockets hit several southern cities and severely damaged the Erez border crossing point. In Beersheba Thursday, the mood was somber and tense among the sparse numbers of residents who ventured outside. Most residents appeared to heed the government’s call to stay indoors, rendering the city almost empty during the last August vacation day before schools are set to open. Until now, Beersheba has been largely untouched by rocket fire because of its distance from Gaza. Yotam Navon, a third-year student at BenGurion University of the Negev in Beersheba, said the rocket attacks have caused panic and taken a significant mental toll on those living in the area. “It’s psychological warfare,” Navon, 29, told The Israel Project in an interview at the campus Thursday. “People are getting more injured from the psychological warfare than from the rockets.” Navon said he has come to see the rockets as a way of life and carries on despite the attacks. Another Beersheba resident, Jessica Bernath, described the fear of hearing the rocket warning alarms and scrambling to find a place to take cover with her husband and 7-month-old baby, Hagar. “I didn’t imagine this would happen here in Beersheba,” Bernath said as she stood outside her home with her infant. “I just can’t understand how people in Sderot are living with this every day.” Sderot is an Israeli town next to Gaza that has, until recently, borne the brunt of Gaza rocket fire and terrorist attacks. Bernath, the manager of an area bookstore, said she also worried about a rocket hitting while her child is in daycare. “Who will they take to the shelters first?” she said. Just steps from her home lies a padlocked bomb shelter, a testament to the city being unaccustomed to life under fire. The latest attacks brought the number of rockets and mortars fired from Gaza at Israelis this year to 501, according to a count by The Israel Project.

Hevron Mukhtar Misses Pre-Oslo Days

Gantz Warns Terrorists: Don’t Test Our Strength IDF CHIEF OF STAFF BENNY GANTZ WARNS TERRORISTS AGAINST ATTACKING ISRAEL. “IF HAMAS OR ANYONE ELSE ATTACKS US WE’LL HIT THEM HARD”
The Mukhtar of Hevron, Sheikh Abu Hader Jaabari, says in an exclusive interview with Arutz Sheva that Israel made a bad mistake when it chose dialogue with the PLO instead of local tribal leadership. He says he misses the days that preceded the Oslo Accords. he interview with Jaabari was conducted at his home, in the presence of Deputy Minister Ayoub Kara. “I wish we had remained in the pre-Oslo period,” Jaabari said. “The situation was much better, at least economically. Today we have over 40% unemployment. Most of the factories have closed down, and drug trafficking within the populace has grown. People find themselves in a vacuum; they look for their path…” “We are basically a conservative nation. Now there is no conservatism, no anything.” Speaking emotionally and with convic-

Secondly, he said, Israel is present everywhere on the land, there are checkpoints everywhere and there is no way to create an independent Arab country, because there is not enough land to create it on. The solution, he said, is not to divide the land between Jews and Arabs but to establish a single country in which Jews and Arabs will have equal rights.

IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz: “Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in Gaza should know that if they harm Israeli citizens we will hit them hard and it would be wrong of them to test our strength.” Unit has been one of our very significant pilBY ELAD BENARI IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz warned terrorist groups on Tuesday against attacking Israel. peaking at a special event marking the 35th anniversary of the IDF’s Shaldag Unit, of which he himself was a commander between 1989 and 1991, Gantz said, “Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in Gaza should know that if they harm Israeli citizens we will hit them hard and it would be wrong of them to test our strength.” Gantz also praised the work of the Shaldag Unit in the fight against terror, saying, “When we look at the threat surrounding us, we need operational capabilities, courage, and good people, and the Shaldag
S
lars over the years.” The Shaldag Unit was established in 1976 under the command of Muki Betzer. Shaldag’s mission is to deploy undetected into combat and hostile environments to conduct special reconnaissance, establish assault zones or airfields, while simultaneously conducting air traffic control and commando actions. Gantz’s comments came as large security forces were spread out along Israel’s border with Egypt due to a heightened terror alert in Israel’s south. On Tuesday, Minister for Homeland Defense Matan Vilnai warned that a terror cell with more than ten members is in the Sinai desert and will soon attempt to infiltrate into Israel.

U.S. sees Iran as “most active sponsor of state terror”
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has again threatened to destroy Israel, even as his government tries to prop up the murderous regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and presses ahead with its nuclear weapons program. “Iran believes that whoever is for humanity should also be for eradicating the Zionist regime (Israel) as symbol of suppression and discrimination,” Ahmadinejad said in an interview with a Lebanese television network. His remarks were later publicized by an Iranian news agency. he statement came a day after the European Union expanded sanctions against Syria to target an elite unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard for its role in helping Syrian security forces crush the fivemonth-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad in which the government has killed at least 2,200 people. An EU statement said Iran’s elite Quds Force has provided “technical assistance, equipment, and other support to the Syrian security forces to repress civilian protest movements.” Ahmadinejad tied the Syrian situation to Israel, saying that the bloodshed against demonstrators “serves Zionist interests.” Also this month, the U.S. State Department released its annual Country Reports on Terrorism, which provides an overview of terrorism for the previous calendar year.

BY GAVRIEL QUEENANN In the wake of recent reports of a joint Israeli-Jordanian plan to link the Red Sea on the Israeli side and the Dead Sea on the Jordanian Side, parliamentarians in Egypt are agitating for the nation’s caretaker junta to demand Israel surrender the port city of Eilat. gypt has insisted it has a claim to the city of Eilat since it lost the city to the nascent state of Israel in the wake of the Egyptian army’s defeat in Israel’s 1948 War of Independence, but after the 1979 Camp David Accords the claim was officially dropped. Or so it seemed. The reassertion of the claim comes as members of parliament (MPs) in Egypt decry the “Israeli plot to choke the Suez Canal to death.” The control of trade routes has been a principal source of conflict in human history. The 1967 Six-Day War broke out after Egypt closed the straits of Tiran and strangled the trade from Israel’s southern port city of Eilat. In exploring the ‘claim,’ which has been hotly debated in Egypt’s parliament this week, Abed el-Aziz Sayef a-Nasser, an aide to the Egyptian foreign minister, was called as an expert witness. A-Nasser is the director of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry’s legal department. “Eilat, or by its former name Umm
E
Rashrash, belongs to the Palestinians,” he said on behalf of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry. His predecessor, Dr. Nabil el-Arabi, was the head of the Foreign Ministry’s legal department and headed the delegation for negotiations at Taba. He also emphatically maintained: “Eilat belongs to the Palestinians.” A-Nasser’s response was presumably meant to calm tempers in the rowdy debate in the Egyptian parliament, after dozens of opposition representatives demanded holding negotiations to have Eilat returned to Egyptian sovereignty. They contend that the Egyptian negotiating team to Taba conceded Eilat to Israel 20 years ago “in the framework of the wish to build confidence and to display Egyptian good will in the spirit of the peace agreement.” Two days ago opposition MP Mohammed el-Aadali produced a document from 1906 which states, in the name of the Ottoman sultan: Umm Rashrash belongs to Egypt. In this spot—said the Egyptian experts on topography and geography—Egyptian pilgrims would stop and rest on their way to the holy cities in Saudi Arabia. El-Aadali made no attempt to explain away the fact that, when Egypt formally drew borders with Israel in 1979, it did cede Eilat to Israel, thereby terminating its claim

Three Killed After Syrian Forces Fire on Protesters Syrian forces have opened fire on protesters marching in cities and towns across the country, calling for the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. ights groups and activists said security forces shot at protesters Friday in areas that include the Damascus suburb of Douma, Dara’a province in the south, and the eastern town of Deir Ezzor. They say at least three people were killed. However, Syria says “hooded gunmen” opened fire on law-enforcement officers in Deir Ezzor, injuring three officers. The SANA news agency says law-enforcement officers responded by shooting and killing two of the gunmen. The news agency also says “gunmen” attacked a security building in Douma, injuring two guards. Meanwhile, a United Nations humanitarian team says there is an “urgent need” to protect Syrian civilians from the use of excessive force. However, the team says there is no countrywide humanitarian crisis in Syria. The group released the findings on Friday, after

wrapping up a five-day visit to the country. In a separate development, Syria says it is investigating an attack Thursday on the country’s best-known political cartoonist. Ali Ferzat was kidnapped and severely beaten by assailants who then dumped him on the side of a road near Damascus. Activists say he was attacked by security forces. State-run media reports blame “veiled people” for the incident. A relative of Ferzat told Western media the attackers threatened to break Ferzat’s bones as a warning for him to stop aiming his cartoons against government officials. Through his cartoons, Ferzat has become a noted critic of Syria’s government and its almost six-month-old crackdown on dissent and pro-democracy demonstrators. Some of his drawings have mocked President Assad. The United Nations says more than 2,000 people have died in Syria during the government crackdown. President Assad has blamed much of the deadly violence on what he calls armed “gangs” and “terrorists.” VOANEWS.COM

Iran Stresses Development of Joint Oil Fields with Iraq Iran’s Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi said here Friday that the Iranian government should consider plans for the development of joint oil fields in the border areas with Iraq, the official IRNA news agency reported. he government should increase the budgets for the development of joint oil fields, Qasemi said at a meeting with the Iranian oil industry contractors. “The oil industry’s infrastructure needs more than 500 trillion rials (about 50 billion U.S. dollars) of investment to achieve Iran’s 20-year economic perspective plan goals,” Qasemi was quoted as saying. Qasemi said Thursday that the private sector should form “huge oil consortiums” to finance energy projects in the country and to exploit joint oil fields.
T
He said the Iranian manufacturers and contractors had problems with the project schedule due to low funds. Earlier this month, Managing Director of Iranian Central Oil Fields Company Mehdi Fakour said Iran was prepared to sign an agreement with Iraq to develop joint oil fields in the border areas. Fakour said Iran was studying the details of the agreement, which, if signed, would help the two neighboring states increase their crude output. According to local satellite Press TV, the two countries have 23 joint oil fields in the border regions. Earlier this year, Tehran and Baghdad agreed to establish joint expert committees to finalize the technical and financial details of a deal aiming at the development of the joint oil fields.

Hurricane Irene Leaves Millions in U.S. East Without Power uthorities reported 29 storm-related deaths in nine eastern states, with damage estimates in the billions of dollars. U.S. President Barack Obama said Monday it will “take time to recover from a storm of this magnitude.” He said the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other federal bodies will do “everything in their power” to help local and state authorities with recovery efforts. Forecasters downgraded Irene to a posttropical storm early Monday as it moved over eastern Canada. Authorities said strong wind and heavy rain from the storm knocked out power to about 250,000 homes and businesses in Quebec and Canada’s Atlantic provinces. One man was missing after floodwaters swept away a car northeast of Montreal. Irene weakened from a hurricane into a tropical storm on Sunday before crossing the northeastern United States, but it still triggered major inland flooding in the states of Vermont and New Jersey. Rivers and creeks burst their banks in Vermont, producing torrents of water that swept away trees, cars, and parts of historic bridges. Hundreds of residents fled to shelters. Authorities said the floods are the worst in the state for at least 80 years. Irene’s center passed over New York, but spared the city major damage. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the city’s airports have reopened and a memorial to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks will open on schedule next month. But he also said about 1,000 people were in shelters and 38,000 people were without power.

Millions of people on the East Coast of the United States faced power outages and flooding Monday, after Hurricane Irene soaked the region before weakening and moving into Canada.
Obama: Irene Impact to Be ‘Felt for Some Time’ BY KENT KLEIN U.S. President Barack Obama is warning that the impact of Tropical Storm Irene is just beginning to be felt. Nearly 20 lives have been lost, and property damage has been estimated in the billions of dollars. The president spoke Sunday as the former hurricane moved through the Northeastern United States toward Canada. lthough Irene has weakened and left some of America’s biggest cities, President Obama cautioned that the U.S. East Coast will continue to feel its effects. “Many Americans are still at serious risk of power outages and flooding, which could get worse in the coming days as rivers swell past their banks,” he said. “So I want people to understand that this is not over.” The president spoke in the White House Rose Garden, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Craig Fugate at his side. They and other national and state government officials have been briefing Mr. Obama about the storm for several days. The president returned to Washington on Friday night from his vacation in Massachusetts, about a half day earlier than scheduled. President Obama urged patience, noting that assessing and repairing the damage from Irene will take time. “I do want to underscore that the impacts of this storm will be felt for some time, and the recovery effort will last for weeks or longer,” he said.

City authorities ordered an unprecedented weather-related shutdown of New York’s subway system on Saturday ahead of Irene’s arrival, depriving millions of their main mode of transportation. But local officials credited the closure with allowing them to reopen the subway system in time for Monday morning’s rush hour. The New York Stock Exchange began its trading week on time. But flooding forced the suspension of trains connecting New York to its northern suburbs and halted most rail services in New Jersey. Irene first hit the United States on Friday, making landfall in the state of North Carolina, before moving along the midAtlantic coast toward New England. VOANEWS.COM

Obama: “Many Americans are still at serious risk of power outages and flooding, which could get worse in the coming days as rivers swell past their banks.” The storm made landfall in the southeastern state of North Carolina on Saturday, blasting the Atlantic coast with high winds and heavy rain, and causing tornadoes, flooding, and falling trees. More than four million homes and businesses lost electricity—from North Carolina to the U.S.-Canada border. Airports in and around New York City remained closed until Monday. Officials warn that further flooding is likely, as water from the storm moves into rivers. They also say that trees will continue to fall due to the rain-saturated soil. President Obama said he will continue to receive briefings on the situation, and will give state and local officials all of the help they need. He praised emergency workers, volunteers and state and local governments for their work during the storm. VOANEWS.COM

Nachman Kletzky Sues Aron Family for $200M Continued from Cover who filed the two suits in Brooklyn Supreme Court, said, “What’s driving the lawsuits is a sense of justice and to compensate the family as best we can. The acts are horrific and horrendous, and the level of damages should reflect that.” He also alleged that Aron’s father knew the boy was being held captive inside his house at 466 East 2nd St. in Kensington. Goldsmith, who represents the firm of Jakubowski, Robertson, Maffei, Goldsmith and Tartaglia, LLP in Saint James, New York, added that “We find it hard to believe that the father was unaware the boy was in the house all that time. The allegation is he knew of some of the instrumentality of torture.” Moreover, the suit claims the elder Aron “permitted tools of terror to be and remain at said premises, knowing of the vicious, assaultive and murderous propensities of his son, Levi Aron, who resided at

The suit against Levi Aron charges that “the defendant’s culpable acts were utterly reckless, malicious, wanton, willful and exhibited a depraved indifference to the health, safety, freedom and rights of Leiby Kletzky.” Aron, 35, admitted to abducting Leiby on July 11 after the child became disoriented leaving camp alone for the first time. The accused killer confessed to smothering the child and then carving up the body and tossing some of Leiby’s body parts into a dumpster but leaving his feet in the freezer. In his handwritten confession, the cold-blooded suspect said he picked up Leiby on July 11

Instead, he panicked at the ferocious scope of the search and decided to kill him after making him a tuna sandwich. “I went for a towel to smother him in the side room. He fought back a little bit but eventually he stopped breathing,” the confession said. “I was still in panic from the fliers and afraid to bring him home.” The Kletzky lawsuit adds a series of blows for Aron’s defense team, the first being Justice Neil J. Firetog’s decision that Aron was mentally competent to stand trial, knocking his case for an insanity defense, and the upbraiding that Pierre Bazile and Jennifer L. McCann received by the same judge for their lack of legal experience. In a hearing on August 22, Justice Firetog castigated the two, raising questions about their ability to handle such a complex case in lieu of the fact that Bazile and McCann posted discussions of the case on their Facebook pages; complained about the release of public documents to the media; and did not provide the Department of Correction an approved list of visitors for their client. According to a transcript of the hearing, Bazile, 40, is a former police officer who was admitted to the New York State bar in 2007, and McCann, 30, is a defense lawyer specializing in insanity defense pleas. McCann said at the time that she and Bazile would introduce psychiatric evidence at the trial, a filing necessary to pursue an insanity defense. However, a decision on whether to use such a defense could still be months away, she said, as the defense is still vetting psychiatrists to examine Aron.

WAR ON TERROR
The Jewish Voice
September 2, 2011
WAR ON TERROR Hamas in Political, Financial Squeeze Hamas’ rule in Gaza may face new difficulties, with reports emerging about the group’s potentially dire financial situation and domestic pressure on its sponsors, Iran and Syria. n a sign of a cash crunch, the Hamas government in Gaza has failed to pay the July salaries of its 40,000 employees in the civil service and security forces,” Reuters reporter Nidal al-Mughrabi wrote in a recent story on the group’s financial woes. “Hamas leaders promised full payments in August, but not all employees received their wages as scheduled on Sunday.” The financial crisis was sparked by Iran’s reduction—and then suspension—of aid, primarily because the group has not sponsored rallies in favor of Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad. But Hamas finds itself caught between a rock and hard place, as Syria’s embarrassing and brutal crackdown on protesters extended to a Palestinian refugee camp near the city of Latakia. Assad’s naval gunships and armed forces pounded the camp, killing an unknown number of residents and forcing more than 10,000 Palestinian refugees to flee. Syria has since been accused of covering up the incident. “On the one hand, Hamas does not want the Syrian regime to disappear,” Syrian political scientist Bassam Ezbidi told The Media Line, a Jerusalem-based news agency. “But on the other hand, how can it justify its strategic alliance with a state that kills Palestinians? Hamas has always regarded
“I
itself as a resistance movement which represents the Palestinian people, and that’s the bottom line.” Financial struggles are a hit that Hamas has been unwilling to fully acknowledge. Despite the group’s claims that it is only having “financial liquidity” programs, Hamas’ reliance on Iranian aid vastly exceeds its revenues from all other sources. Taxes on merchants and goods from Israel and tunnels accounted for about a tenth of the group’s $540 million budget last year. Iranian aid is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions
of dollars each year. There has also been a sharp decline in funding from the Muslim Brotherhood, another major supporter of the Palestinian terrorist organization, as the Brotherhood allocates funds to political forces of the Arab Spring. Financial support isn’t the only thing that Iran and Syria offer Hamas. The group has withstood tremendous diplomatic pressure from outside sources, particularly since it violently seized the Gaza Strip in 2007. Iran and Syria have helped the group sustain its campaign of terror through weapons shipments and advanced military courses. In 2006, Syria proclaimed its unabashed support for Hamas, promising to raise funds for the group and establish direct phone links with it. “We are not afraid of anyone in our support for the Palestinian cause,” Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said at a joint press conference with Hamas leader Mahmoud Az-Zahar. Huge Iranian shipments of weapons passed through Syria on their way to Hamas, including 50 tons of weapons which were seized by the Israeli navy in March. Despite a common interest in harassing Israel, Hamas’ brotherly relationship with Syria has soured at a rapid pace. Hamas refused to support the crackdown on fellow Sunni protesters in Syria, putting it at odds with the country’s non-Sunni leadership and Iran’s Shiite government. In May, Hamas fought back against rumors that it would move its offices from Damascus to Cairo, even arguing with reports on the move from its ally, the Muslim Brotherhood. Although these rumors proved to be false, the negativity between the two parties has been an open secret in diplomatic circles and even on the Palestinian street. Outside pressure on the group has been matched by internal stresses. Islamist groups are pushing Hamas to Islamize Gaza more rapidly and thoroughly, at times carrying out violent actions. Salafi Islamists like Jaljalat and Jaish al Islam call for an Islamic Emirate based in Gaza, creating a base for an unending war with Israel. These groups also believe that Hamas doesn’t go far enough in resisting its enemy. On online forums and in rallies, they accuse Hamas of “leaving the path set by the
group’s great founders,” including the liberation of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem and “defending the Quran.” Instead, they claim, Hamas has grown too close to disbelievers and uses “fake” scholars who go so far as to justify the killing of Muslims. Worst of all, they are accused of abandoning the jihad against Israel. Hamas has maintained an uneasy relationship with these Salafi groups, at times cooperating for attacks but often cracking down on them. They have even smashed smaller groups like Jund Ansar Allah, who denounced Hamas, declared their own Emirate, and started to impose a stricter form of Shariah in a corner of Gaza. Many Gazans, on the other hand, are resentful of the material prosperity of the Hamas elite or in its harsh imposition of certain Shariah restrictions. Many among Gaza’s budding middle class are Hamas members, a fact which the group denies but is sparking resentment among many people. “Hamas has become rich at the expense of the people,” The Associated Press quoted one Palestinian saying. The story noted that Hamas rose to power by “tending to the poor—through charitable aid, education, and medical care— along with its armed struggle against Israel.” The imposition of Islamic law has been both harsh and cynical, with Hamas activists sometimes using the excuse of religion to violently break up protests against Hamas rule. Restrictions on women and public displays of affection have been applied, sometimes halfheartedly, sparking protests from secular groups about religious coercion and Islamists about the slow pace of
______________________ “On the one hand, Hamas does not want the Syrian regime to disappear. But on the other hand, how can it justify its strategic alliance with a state that kills Palestinians?” ______________________ Islamization. Hamas has also felt pressure to balance between Western considerations and local concerns. A leader of a fellow militant group, the Popular Resistance Committees, wants greater Islamization in society, but recognizes the “foreign considerations” at play. “If the West weren’t applying pressure, Hamas would probably enact more Islamic laws,” he said, according to a report by the International Crisis Group. In effect, Hamas pushed its agenda as a movement into the government, using rumors and haphazard enforcement to create a self-censorship in Gaza. In addition to pressure on its core in Gaza, thousands of Hamas supporters outside of Gaza have faced a campaign of arrest, according to the Islamist group’s news site. Primarily, this has been an effort by its Fatah rivals who have sought to control Hamas’ growth and activity in the West Bank. REPORT COURTESY OF IPT NEWS, WWW.INVESTIGATIVEPROJECT.ORG

The bunker housed a command and control center. There is no indication that Gaddafi was in Sirte or in the bunker itself at the time of the attack. British Defense Secretary Liam Fox was quoted as saying that “it’s not a question of finding Gaddafi, it’s ensuring the regime does not have the capability to continue waging war against its own people.” “The attack that we launched on the bunker in Sirte last night was to make sure that there was no alternative command and control should the regime try to leave Tripoli.” As events in Tripoli continue to unfold,

IDF RESCUES PALESTINIANS DURING ROCKET ATTACK ON EREZ CROSSING The Sufa 3 all-terrain vehicle will start to become part of the military landscape this month. BY DANIELLA BOKOR 156 horsepower, diesel engine, room for five passengers, a load capacity of 1,053 kilograms, and speed up to 130 kilometers per hour—meet the Sufa 3 jeep, the IDF’s new all-terrain vehicle. he vehicle, which was jointly developed by the IDF, the American Chrysler corporation, and the Nazareth vehicle industrial plant, will in the next two years replace the Sufa 1 and Sufa 2 all-terrain vehicles currently used by the IDF. According to the IDF’s procurement plan, 500 of the new jeeps will be acquired. At a ceremony at the Nazareth plant on Tuesday (August 23), the first jeep was delivered to the head of the Ground Forces Technological Brigade, Brig. Gen. Haim Rubin, who received the keys to the sparkling new vehicle. The Sufa 2 is one of the vehicles most commonly seen during training drills and exercises. Since the Sufa 2 was integrated into the IDF in 2005, the vehicle has displayed great capabilities to move through difficult terrain conditions. However, the IDF strived to continue for perfection and in 2008 began the Sufa 3 project. Chrysler sent three prototypes and they were subjected to a long series of tests by the IDF. Over the past two years, the vehicles were driven tens of thousands of kilometers and have undergone changes to meet the IDF’s operational needs. For example, a special snorkel has been attached to the vehicle to absorb air and allow the vehicle to move through sandy ground and water obstacles. “This is a completely different vehicle
T
from the Sufa 2,” said Lt. Col. Nissim Einat, the IDF’s head of tactical vehicles. “The Sufa 3 is much more comfortable for the user. Inside, it is very similar to a private vehicle. There is an integrated and reliable radio system—much more reliable than the Sufa 2. There are much fewer glitches and problems. Also, it is an automatic vehicle that is driven by a diesel engine.” Additional features that the IDF requested be put in the Sufa 3 include: quality air conditioning, special tires, a communication system, a strong night lighting system, and front and rear towing hooks that will give the vehicle the ability to be rescued if stuck, which could prove critical in emergency situations. The Sufa 3 will start to become part of the military landscape this month. The Sufa 3 “is an excellent tool that meets the IDF’s needs, particularly the ground forces,” Brig. Gen. Rubin said.

Speculation Continues About Palin’s Political Future BY JIM MALONE For months now, Sarah Palin has said she is considering a presidential run next year, but so far has yet to decide. Palin has told interviewers she would probably have to decide by late September, and political analysts will be keeping a close eye on this week’s Tea Party gathering in Iowa, at which Palin is the featured speaker. alin’s political action committee released a two-minute video based on her recent trip to Iowa that has increased speculation she is about to enter the race for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. “I think we are seeing a great awakening of the American public, the individual Americans who want the exceptional-ism put back into our country,” said Palin. Palin was the Republican Party’s vice presidential candidate in 2008 and quickly developed an enthusiastic following among social conservative voters and supporters of the small-government Tea Party movement. [Editor’s note: She is also known for her strong support of the State of Israel, and has caused controversy in recent months for her unabashedly pro-Israel statements.] But Palin has been overshadowed this year by presidential contenders like Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Texas Governor Rick Perry, who has jumped to the top of the Republican field in recent public-opinion polls. A top political adviser to former President George W. Bush, Karl Rove, told Fox News that Palin should decide soon if she wants to be a candidate for the White House in 2012. “Her difficulty is that if she does not get in shortly after next week then I think people are going to basically say, ‘She is not in, she will not be in, and if she gets in I am not going to be for her.’ You can only tease so many times in the political process and I think she is getting to the end of that,” said Rove. Perry, Bachmann and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney appear to be the top choices for Republicans at the moment. But Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels says there is always room for additional candidates. “My own view has been that although I like all those folks, there is something to like about each one of them, this is a more the merrier situation and that is why we have an extended nomination process,” said Daniels. Supporters had urged Daniels to enter the race earlier this year, but he declined and said he did not want to put his family through the ordeal of a presidential campaign.

The problem is that in a general election she does particularly not well among independent voters and will obviously not do well among Democrats.” The latest CNN-ORC Poll found Rick Perry leading the Republican field with 27percent support, followed by Mitt Romney at 14 percent.

Wolfson Towers—A Safe Haven for Overseas Buyers BY GEDALIAH BORVICK MYISRAELHOME.COM
I have fond memories from over twenty years ago walking in Jerusalem with my wife Fayge. We would head down King George Street, take a right turn on Keren Kayemet L’Yisrael, stroll through the neighborhood of Shaarei Chesed with its rich history and vibrant activity, and finally arrive at Wolfson Towers to visit our relatives. ow that I am helping overseas buyers purchase second homes, I am encountering a number of people who inquire about Wolfson Towers. Listening to my clients articulate their needs reminds me of why I was initially attracted to this five-tower complex, which contains three hundred apartments and an additional fifty villas. Wolfson Towers is professionally managed and well maintained, creating a safe and comfortable environment for its residents. The lawns and shrubs are well groomed, the sidewalks are clean of debris, and there is parking for the residents. The lobbies are immaculately maintained, offering a welcoming atmosphere, and there are no steps to enter the buildings, allowing easy wheelchair access. In the base of the complex is a shopping center, containing a large supermarket, restaurants, doctors’ offices, and various other stores. Neighbors are friendly and welcoming and the Young Israel of Rehavia, also known as Bet Knesset Hanassi, led by Rabbi Berel Wein—who delivers his sermons in English—is one of many synagogues within walking distance. One quickly realizes that this is an urbane, self-contained, user-
N
friendly community. Entering the apartments, one is immediately drawn—even on the lower floors—to the spectacular views of the Knesset and the Israel Museum to the west and Shaarei Chesed to the east. The apartments have generous dimensions, ranging from 90meter (approximately 1,000 square foot) two-bedroom units up to 140-meter (over 1,500 square foot) apartments with four bedrooms. Visiting Wolfson Towers back in 1989, the place felt modern and comfortable. In 2011, it still does, although apartments that are in their original condition (circa early1970s) need to be renovated and updated. The only thing that is lacking, from my perspective, are sukkah balconies. Consequently, the residents of the tower floors (the villas have their own porches) need to build their sukkot on the ground level. One last and important point: Wolfson Towers is, relative to other neighborhoods

CityRealty Real Estate Guide Announces Ten Best Back-to-College Apartment Buildings in NYC As an alternative to dorm living, some parents may consider purchasing apartments for their college-bound children. CityRealty Editor Carter B. Horsley has crafted a top 10 list of back-to-college apartment buildings near some of New York City’s colleges and universities.
floor, and rusticated piers. 8. Washington Court at 89 Washington Place on Sixth Avenue This very handsome red-brick building was erected in 1984 and designed by James Stewart Polshek and Partners. The fivestory building has 28 condominium apartments, a doorman, garden, and a bicycle room. It occupies the blockfront between Waverly Place and Washington Place and is one block from Washington Square Park and New York University. The building has several duplex units and multi-paned windows. The architect has noted that “if the outer facades were inspired by the Karl Marx Hof in Vienna, the inner facades with their stucco walls and steel balconies owe more to Stuttgart’s Weissenhof.”
t’s back to school again, a time to pick up new laptops, a few pencils, and a nice small apartment not far from your child’s college,” says Mr. Horsley. “While many of New York City’s upper educational institutions have dormitories, some parents may want more private residences for their offspring so they won’t be tempted by public mayhem and misbehavior. And when the kids move on, these digs can become nice pieds à terre for the parents.”

Top Ten Back-to-College Apartment Buildings in Manhattan BY CARTER B. HORSLEY
1. Trump Palace at 200 East 69th Street on the southeast corner of Third Avenue The tallest building on the Upper East Side, this is three blocks away from Hunter College on Lexington Avenue and 68th Street. Designed by Frank Williams, it is 54 stories high and its form and proportions are terrific as is its crenellated and illuminated top. Trump Tower and Trump World are fine exercises in sheer glossiness, but this “telescopic” tower bristles with staccato energy and grabs the air and your attention in an aggressive but elegant manner. The condominium apartment layouts of this 1991 tower are efficient but not palatial. 2. Britannia at 527 West 110th Street This mid-block, nine-story building designed by Waid & Willauer is the finest structure on West 110th Street, near the Cathedral Church of St. John The Divine and Columbia University. What makes it so fine, of course, are its wonderful “grotesques,” or non-waterspouting gargoyles, and its much larger than usual center light court and entrance. The 1909 building, which has high ceilings and some stained-glass windows, was converted to a condominium in 1986 and is sometimes referred to as the “chicken soup” building because of the apparent activity of its grotesques. 3. 110 + Bway at 2840 Broadway The very handsome, clean-cut, 11-story residential condominium building near Columbia University was completed in 2006. Platt Byard Dovell White, the architectural firm that designed such luxury apartment projects as 50 Madison Avenue and 47 East 91st Street, was the architect of the building, which has a seven-story base with a precast concrete façade and a fourstory setback tower with a glass façade. The building has 57 apartments and there are balconies on the upper floors. 4. One Lincoln Square at 150 Columbus Avenue This asymmetrical tower is one of the few prominent buildings in New York to have a mix of facades. At the north end of the intersection of Broadway and Columbus Avenue, this quite striking, 30-story building was erected as a condominium in 1997 by Millennium Partners. The building has a low-rise base at the north end of the fullblock site that houses an Eddie Bauer store. At first glance, this appears to be just another mid-rise apartment tower, but its design is quite rigorous, varied, and interesting. It was designed by Gary Edward Handel +
Trump Palace named number one back-to-college building in Manhattan Associates with Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron as architect of record. It has 180 apartments and is very close to the Juilliard School of Music and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. 5. 3 Lincoln Center, 160 West 66th Street One of the more interesting high-rise projects in the Lincoln Center district, this mixed-use tower is one of the most elegant and visible modern buildings on the Upper West Side. The marble-clad lower 15 floors of the 54-story tower house offices for the adjacent Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The 347 condominium apartments start at the 16th floor in the tower, clad in black glass with thin red piping set to the west and a bit north of the office tower. Since its completion in 1990, the area has undergone a major transformation, with several new high-rises nearby and a significant surgery on the very important Brutalist building that houses the Juilliard School of Music and Alice Tully Hall. The tower, which has a firehouse in its base, was designed by Davis, Brody & Associates. 6. The Alfred at 161 West 61st Street Basking in the glory of its freestanding site, this 38-story tower is one of the most visible in the Lincoln Center district. With its large, setback mansard roof, the building could have been just another Post-Modern pastiche, but the proportions and detailing here have resulted in a very pleasing composition that is both dignified and modern, nostalgic but practical. A key to its success is its quite rigorous façade, rhythmically broken up by its balconies, and its rich coloring of Sienna-colored brick and bronze glass atop a limestone base. The 224-unit condominium opened in 1987 and was developed by Carol Management Corporation and designed by Jung/Brannen Associates. Fordham University is planning to develop much of its nearby site to the east. 7. The Greenwich at 65 West 13th Street on the northeast corner of Sixth Avenue Across the street from the New School for Social Research, this handsome 12-story building was erected in 1905 as a department store and was converted to residential condominiums in 2001. Its 67 apartments have open kitchens and ceilings as high as 14 feet. The beige-brick building has a doorman, gym, children’s playroom, bicycle room, private storage rooms, and roof deck, and it is distinguished by its rounded corner at 14th Street, arched windows on the ninth
9. Georgetown Plaza at 60 East 8th Street This 34-story, yellow-brick tower on the southwest corner of Eighth Street and Broadway offers great public transportation access and impressive views, all just a couple of blocks away from Washington Square Park and New York University. It has a raised plaza with a very long entrance canopy and is convenient also to Cooper Union. Erected in 1967 and converted in 1991, this condo was designed by John A. Pruyn and Leo Stillman and has 393 apartments. 10. 21 Astor Place Designed by George Harney in 1890 for the Mercantile Library, which moved uptown in 1932, this very handsome brick building at various times was known as Clinton Hall. Before the Harney building,
the site was home to the Astor Place Opera House. The El-Ad Group bought the Romanesque Revival building, which sits on a triangular site fronting on Astor Place and Eighth and Lafayette Streets, from Goldman Sachs in 2002 and converted it in 2003 to 50 luxury condominium apartments. The interiors include sliding room dividers, closets made of semi-opaque glass, and staircases cantilevered out of walls to appear as if they are floating. Toilets are set in bathroom walls to also appear to be floating. The building is very close to the Cooper Union complex. ABOUT CARTER B. HORSLEY

AFP Rewrites Post-Ceasefire Violence BY TAMAR STERNTHAL Agence France-Presse (AFP) falsely claimed last Thursday that until Israel hit Islamic Jihad fighter Ismail al-Ismar the night before, Palestinian groups respected the truce. Ignoring Palestinian rocket attacks launched Monday (Aug. 22), AFP repeatedly rewrites the order of violent incidents that have been carried out since terror groups in Gaza agreed to an informal ceasefire Sunday, Aug. 21. or instance, the article headlined “Islamic Jihad: ‘We will halt rockets if Israel stops raids’” (12:49 PM GMT) echoes Islamic Jihad propaganda, with the reporter accepting as fact the group’s false claim: The truce announced on Sunday night by Gaza’s Hamas rulers had been respected by militant groups until Israel chose to break it by hitting a car in southern city of Rafah, killing 34-year-old Jihad militant Ismail alIsmar, [Islamic Jihad spokesman Daoud Shihab] said. Since that strike early on Wednesday, militants have fired at least 20 rockets into Israel and another seven Palestinians have been killed in subsequent Israeli air raids, raising to eight the total killed in the last 36 hours. “The last targeting in Rafah started the new crisis, Israel broke the truce when they killed one of the local leaders of the Al-Quds Brigades. After that, the Brigades answered this aggression,” Shihab told the AFP, saying a one-sided truce would not work. [Emphases added.] An earlier AFP article today also ignored the Palestinian violations of the truce (“Israel targets Islamic Jihad as truce unravels,” 10:15 AM GMT), stating: Rising tensions in and around Gaza kicked off just days after militant groups on Sunday said they would stop cross-border rocket fire, with Israel quietly agreeing to limit its strikes to those caught in the act. But an air strike on Rafah early on
F
In a shocking turn of events (who, after all, would ever associate antiSemitism with France?), it appears that French news agency AFP has altered the sequence of events in Israel’s response to recent terror attacks, giving their reporting a distinctly anti-Israel spin while providing their readers with blatant misinformation. Wednesday which killed Islamic Jihad militant Ismail al-Ismar sparked a flurry of retaliatory rocket attacks, followed by further Israeli raids, rendering the truce agreement practically meaningless. It’s not that AFP reporters were unaware that Palestinians fired rockets on Monday. Notably, there was this AFP report that day (“Seven rockets hit Israel after Gaza factions agree truce,” Aug. 22, 8:48 AM GMT): Seven rockets from Gaza hit Israel on Monday just hours after militant factions agreed an informal truce [sic] after four days of deadly cross-border violence in which 15 Palestinians and an Israeli died.… Gaza also enjoyed a second night of clear skies, with no air strikes reported.
Likewise, another AFP article the following day (Tuesday, Aug. 23) covered additional Palestinian rocket attacks from late Monday. The article, entitled “Rocket fire rocks Israel-Hamas truce” (1:45 AM GMT), begins: “Four rockets fired from Gaza slammed into south Israel late Monday, without causing casualties, police and the army said, undermining a truce between Palestinian militants and the Jewish state.” The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center gives a fuller picture of the Palestinian violations of the truce agreement that preceded Israel’s attack Wednesday night on Islamic Jihad leader Ismail al-Ismar. Its Aug. 23 report details: The ceasefire proclaimed by Hamas and
accepted by the PRC has not been honored, and on the ground sporadic and mortar shell fire into Israeli territory continues. Since the lull in the fighting went into effect (August 21, 2200 hours), Israel has been attacked with 14 rockets and at least four mortar shells. The rockets fell in the western Negev north and east of the Gaza Strip, and some fell inside the Gaza Strip itself. The time since the ceasefire went into effect can be divided into four periods: 1) Rocket and mortar shell fire on the morning of August 22: Between 0400 and 0800 hours 11 rockets and a number of mortar shells were fired into the western Negev (including the region of the city of Ashqelon). Responsibility for two of the attacks (rocket fire and three mortar shells) was claimed by the PRC. 2) Quiet during the day, August 22: Between 0800 and 1930 hours the ceasefire was honored. During the afternoon, as noted, the main PRC faction (the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades) declared it would join the lull in the fighting, and during the afternoon Hamas formally announced that the various organizations operating in the Gaza Strip had committed themselves to honoring the lull. 3) Rocket fire targeting the southern Israeli city of Ashqelon on the night of August 22: Between 1930 and 2400 hours three rockets fell in the western Negev near Ashqelon. There were no casualties; one rocket caused a fire. No organization claimed responsibility for the attack. 4) Quiet during August 23: Since 2400 hours Israel’s south has been quiet (as of 1600 hours, August 23). AFP is hardly the first to cover up Palestinian violence in the hours or days following an Israeli-Gaza truce. In 2009, CNN and Ha’aretz’s Gideon Levy pinned the blame on Israel for first violating the pre– Cast Lead ceasefire, despite the fact that Palestinian rocket attacks preceded Israeli actions in Gaza.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL Note: The following letter is presented here as it was submitted, without correction.
Defeating Obama at the Polls In 2012: Bob Turner for Congress Just contemplating the notion of President Barack Obama at the helm of our country for another term in 2012 causes many of us to recoil in horror for a plethora of good reasons. Lacking any formidable leadership in Washington, our weary nation has morphed into a storm-tossed vessel floating aimlessly in a forbidding sea. he man holding the highest elective office in the country has yet to present a cogent plan to revivify our anemic economy, to stimulate job growth, to concretely provide a sound resolution to the exploding national debt, to lower taxes for the middle class, and to restore our status as a glorious beacon of democracy and hope in the international community. Rather than unifying Americans, the president has become the poster boy for polarization; an acrimonious instigator and a catalyst for “change” in a per-
T
staunchly Democratic district. At a recent debate at the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills, Weprin was taken to task by conservatives for his vociferous attack on the Tea Party for its impact on the economic debacle. Turner’s position of eliminating redundant and wasteful federal programs, dramatically cutting federal spending and taxes, and allowing small businesses in New York to flourish by removing the morass of federal regulations that have been a virtual albatross around their necks were warmly embraced. Hot-button issues such as the recently passed Marriage Equality Act in the New York State legislature do not escape voters either. Having voted for the law allowing same-sex couples to marry, Assemblyman Weprin, ostensibly an Orthodox Jew, said ”this is not a religious issue” and, taking the separation of church and state line, likened opposition to the bill to those who

ilous direction. Defeating an incumbent, however, will be no easy task as the president remains the darling of the mainstream liberal media who are responsible for electing him to begin with. As he continues to amass a stupendous war chest, it appears that the GOP has yet to select a candidate that can go toe to toe with him on the campaign trail. Retaining the slim Republican majority in the House of Representatives has proven to be a thorn in the president’s eye; a literal bulwark against rubber-stamping legislation that would drive our country under. On the local level, we have the opportunity to make a difference. To stand up and say “no more.” After Rep. Anthony Weiner (D)—who represented New York’s 9th congressional district—resigned in disgrace after it was revealed that he engaged in a lurid online sex scandal, a special election has been called for September 13. Those wishing to succeed Weiner for his seat are New York State Assemblyman David Weprin (D) and cable executive Bob Turner (R), who ran an impressive campaign against Weiner in the last congressional race. Falling short of a victory, he did succeed in garnering 41% of the vote and established a reputation as a no-nonsense, hard-hitting populist candidate. Having been endorsed by former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who has exhorted those in the 9th Congressional District to cast their vote for a Republican in order to send President Obama a strong message about his policies vis-àvis Israel, Turner is gaining momentum as a highly electable candidate in this
GOP congressional candidate Bob Turner. would seek to outlaw marriages between interracial couples or Jews and non-Jews. Never acknowledging the fact that moral depravity will have egregious effects on the society as a while, Weprin relegates his purported allegiance to his religious beliefs on the altar of political correctness and dances to the zeitgeist of “tolerance and diversity.” Turner, on the other hand, supports the Clinton-initiated Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as a union of a man and a woman. While Weprin utters hackneyed platitudes about his support for Israel, he is reluctant to overtly challenge the president who has called for Israel to make more territorial concessions in the name of a false peace than any other administration. Says Turner, “I agree with Israel’s policy of refusing to negotiate with Hamas, which has formed an alliance with Fatah and Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority. I believe that Jerusalem should remain free and recognized as the capital of Israel and I oppose attempts to have the UN recognize a Palestinian state at its upcoming General Assembly meeting in September.” For New Yorkers in the 9th Congressional District, and for those who have grown restive over the intrusion of the “nanny state” in the affairs of their daily lives, the decision on September 13 couldn’t be clearer. Political change is desperately needed and we, the people, are charged with chartering our own course, of becoming masters of our own fate, and captains of our own ship. Let’s send a bold message to President Obama by electing Bob Turner to Congress and saying “no” to more of the same.

Assessing Gaddafi BY DANIEL PIPES On September 1, Mu’ammar al-Qadhdhafi (the proper transliteration of his name) would have been ruler of Libya for exactly 42 years, making him the world’s longest ruling head of state. As he leaves the scene, his wretched reign deserves an appraisal.
any sort of unity, and his “Third International Theory” detailed in the 1975 Green Book proved a total bust, he did have an early and marked impact on two major developments. First, he had a key role in the increase in energy prices that began in 1972 and continues to this day. By challenging the international oil companies’ control over petroleum production and pricing, he began the transfer of power from Western boardrooms to Middle Eastern palaces. Specifically, the chances Gaddafi successfully took helped bring about the fourfold increase in oil prices

When the Temple Mount Is in Danger Thirty years or so after the Holocaust, “revisionist historians” began trying to “prove” that it had never taken place. The Temple Mount is now subjected to the same BY GIULIO MEOTTI Few nations relate to a place which has been linked to them for three millennia. The Jewish people relates that way to the Temple Mount. n that same spot, King David raised a sanctuary for the Ark of the Covenant; King Solomon built his Temple; Nehemiah built the Second Temple 400 years later; Herod refurbished that one 500 years further on. The Roman emperor Hadrian covered those ruins with a pagan temple to Jupiter; the Christians used it as a garbage dump to defile its Jewish significance and turned the area into a stable for their horses; the Arabs later built their own holy sites on top of those of their defeated enemy. Time and again throughout Jewish history foreign powers have taken over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, desecrating the Jewish people’s holiest site. Last week Al Hayat Al Jadida, the official Palestinian Authority newspaper, reported on the “so-called destruction” of the “alleged” Jewish Temple. In the same period, the Guardian, the most famous leftist publication in Europe, emphasized the Islamic connection to Haram esh-Sharif, as the Muslims call the Temple Mount, without noting that the Temple Mount is Judaism’s holiest site (Mount Moriah). This is not the first time that the Guardian has given prominence to the religious importance of the site as “the third holiest place in Islam” while downplaying Jewish attachment to it. In January, an editorial admonished some Arab negotiators for suggesting that sovereignty of the area could be shared. The Guardian’s downplaying of the historical importance of the Temple Mount for Jews echoes the dominant Arab tendency to denigrate Jewish connections to the area. The United Nations, the European bureaucrats, the global media, and the Islamic forums are all trying to downplay and deny the Jewish connection to the Mount. Last July the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted a resolution against the renovation of the Mughrabi Bridge that links the Western Wall plaza and Temple Mount. In 2009, UNESCO designated Jerusalem as “capital of Arab culture,” working with Palestinian Authority officials and key Arab figures to protest against what they

in 1973-74. Second, Gaddafi kicked off what was then known as the Islamic revival. At a time when no one else was ready to do so, he proudly and provocatively advanced Islamic causes by applying aspects of Islamic law, calling on Muslims worldwide to do likewise, and assisting any Muslims in conflict with non-Muslims. Gaddafi’s long rule can be divided into four eras. The first and most significant, 1969-86, consisted of frenetic activity on his part, meddling in issues and conflicts from Northern Ireland to the southern Philippines. An incomplete listing would include the near crippling of Jimmy Carter’s 1980 re-election campaign by making payments to his brother Billy; declaring political union with Syria; aiding Iran militarily versus Iraq; threatening Malta over oil exploration in contested waters; bribing the Cypriot government to accept a Libyan radio transmitter; sending troops to southern Chad to control the country and impose a political union on it; and helping a Muslim group in Nigeria whose violence left over one hundred dead. But these efforts led nowhere. As I wrote

According to their shocking propaganda, the Jewish temples are only “fiction,” Jewish monuments are Islamic treasures stolen by the Zionists, and Israeli archeological works are criminal acts against Muslims. Since Israel magnanimously turned over religious control of the Temple Mount to the Muslim Wakf in June 1967, successive generations have been taught that Israelis are “Nazi-like invaders,” illegitimate neighbors, and enemies. Textbooks and Arab media all repeat the self-delusionary canard denying any historic Jewish continuity or legitimacy in the Temple Mount. The World Council of Churches, the largest umbrella group of Protestants, in its “Promised Land” conference in Switzerland, called “to distinguish between the Israel of the Bible and the modern State of Israel” and denied any Jewish connection with the Mount. Chief Palestinian Justice Sheik Taysir Tamimi declared the Jewish temples “never existed” and Jews have no historic connection to Jerusalem.

RECALLING A HEROINE OF ISRAEL’S FOUNDING GENERATION BY MOSHE PHILLIPS “A woman of valor, who can find?” — Proverbs The widespread renewed interest in American Civil War history this year caused by the marking of the 150th anniversary of the start of the war has been mirrored somewhat in Israel. Recently a rekindled spotlight has been focused on the history of the Zionist underground’s revolt against British rule in the Land of Israel in the 1930s and 1940s. rom Jeremy Ben-Ami, the founder of J Street, the American Jewish political pressure group founded in 2008 to agitate for a Palestinian state, to Prime Minister Netanyahu, to Israel’s nationalist settlers, everyone these days seems to be recalling these heroes. Netanyahu’s government has launched a project to recover the remains of the Irgun arms ship Altalena, which was sunk off of Tel Aviv on orders by David Ben-Gurion during Israel’s War of Independence. American scholar Professor Jerold Auerbach recently released a book about the Altalena tragedy and his article on the controversy regarding the archeology appeared on the American Thinker website in August. Also in August, a play based on the love letters between Avraham “Yair” Stern and his wife Roni Stern premiered in Tel Aviv at the LEHI Museum on the ancient Jewish romantic holiday, Tu B’Av. Yair Stern was the founder and leader of the Stern Group, which is remembered in Israel as the LEHI (Fighters For the Freedom of Israel). Soon
F
the LEHI Museum will release a new English book by historian Zev Golan titled STERN: The Man and His Gang. On the other hand, the death of Shulamit Shamir, wife of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, on July 29 in her Tel Aviv home did not receive the coverage it should have. And that is an injustice we shall try to rectify here. Prime Minister Netanyahu recognized that there was something significant to be recalled about Mrs. Shamir beyond that her husband held Israel’s highest office. Netanyahu said, “Shulamit was Yitzhak’s right hand in the LEHI…we join all of Israel’s citizens in mourning her death.” Here Netanyahu zeroed in on her most important contribution to the Jewish State. She was a soldier in the LEHI underground movement. She was a vital part of Israel’s founding generation. Mrs. Shamir was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1923 with the name Sarita Levy. In Bulgaria she was an active member of Ze’ev Jabotinsky’s Betar Zionist youth movement. With Betar she immigrated to the Jewish homeland. Her immigration was illegal according to the (immoral) British law and she was interned in a British-controlled detention camp called Mizra. Yitzhak Shamir was interned at Mizra at the same time. Upon her release from British custody she joined the Stern Group. She was assigned as a courier to Yitzhak Shamir, who was then part of the three-man high command that led the LEHI after the British assassinated Stern. The two fell in love and because Yitzhak was a wanted man living under an assumed

With Betar she immigrated to the Jewish homeland. ” ______________________ identity, their wedding was performed in secret by Rabbi Abraham Adler in 1944. The biography A Tzaddik in Our Time by Simcha Raz about Rabbi Aryeh Levin, known as the “the Prisoners’ Rabbi,” tells the story of how the wedding was arranged by Rabbi Levin and his wife and by Rabbi Moshe Tzvi Segal. Rabbi Segal was the leader of the Brit Hashmonaim, a religious nationalist youth group with hundreds of members in Jerusalem. The Brit was eventually absorbed into the LEHI through an agreement between Yitzhak Shamir and Rabbi Segal. Raz writes about Mrs. Shamir, stating that as a LEHI courier she was a “sweet, sim-
ple girl who performed her duties with loyalty and devotion.” In 1945, while in the underground, Mrs. Shamir gave birth to a son and the couple named him Yair in honor of Stern. To get a sense of how the Shamirs viewed Stern, see The Poet Who Wrote First With Pen, Then With Sword at www.saveisrael.com/others/shamir/yitzchak shamir.htm. When Mrs. Shamir was arrested by the British in 1947, Yair was taken away from her. At once she began a hunger strike. The twelve-day hunger strike brought her near to death and made headlines throughout the world. Rabbi Levin finally persuaded her to eat. There was nothing “simple” about her complete devotion to her family, the Jewish People, the LEHI, and Zionism. Later, she was placed in the Bethlehem Women’s Prison and Acre prison. She was not released by the British until shortly before Israel declared independence in 1948. Prime Minister Netanyahu eulogized Mrs. Shamir at the start of the weekly Sunday Cabinet meeting stating: “Shulamit was a woman of principles, an idealist, who stood at her husband’s side throughout his life. She was a member of the LEHI; she fought for Israel’s freedom. She was always faithful to the principles of the Jewish People and the Land of Israel. She and her husband raised the wonderful Shamir family, which has contributed, and is contributing, to the State of Israel in so many areas. I am certain that I speak for all ministers and all Israelis as we convey our condolences to the Shamir family on Shulamit’s passing.” She is survived by her husband. Mrs. Shamir is also survived by her son Yair, her daughter Gilada (born in 1949), five grandchildren, Shai, Michael, Dror, Tali, and Elad, as well as six great-grandchildren. Her funeral was Sunday, July 31, in Jerusalem. That her final resting place would be in Jerusalem was certainly most fitting: the LEHI’s motto was “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem” from Psalm 136.

Bank of Israel Governor Makes Media Rounds to Counteract Demos BY ARYEH BEN HAYIM Monday was a busy day for Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer, who not only held a press conference but made the rounds of various news programs. While outwardly unflappable, Fischer is obviously concerned that the current demonstrations may trigger irresponsible programs of a shoot-from-the-hip style. He was particularly concerned about the timing of such actions since he coupled his statement while expressing his fears that the international monetary situation remains turbulent as the European debt crisis was advancing from the peripheral states to the core states. e conceded that there were areas for improvements but it was important to preserve the budgetary framework. Instead of launching ill-considered programs, the committee set up to examine the tax structure was excellent and perhaps the decline in direct taxation and the increase in indirect taxation was responsible for growing socioeconomic gaps in Israel. Fischer admitted that he was surprised by the demonstrations but then almost everybody else was. Fischer defended his policy initiated at the start of the global economic crisis of cutting interest rates to the bone—a policy that left investors with few alternative havens for their capital outside the real estate market. Fischer replied “if we hadn’t dropped the interest rates and left them at 4.25%, we would not have a problem of housing but instead a problem of high unemployment as in the United States and Europe would’ve been created where the unemployment level is almost 10%. If the interest was so high, there wouldn’t be any work and people couldn’t even think of buying a home.” Stanley Fischer believes that the Israeli economy may be overcentralized and one should examine price differences between Israel and abroad. “We pay too much for automobiles … my impression is that prices in Israel are very high.” In perhaps a backhanded compliment to the demonstrators, the Bank of Israel Governor claimed “some of their demands are political and I won’t speak about it. But they are contributing to the quality of politics in the state of Israel but anyone who wants to exert influence in politics can’t work exclusively via protest movements.” Fischer returned to his warning: “We are entering a problematic period due to the

Foxman, ADL National Director. “In fact they continue to carry a number of Israeli products, and have assured us that they do so with pride.” The League reached out to Whole Foods in response to a rumor circulating on the Internet suggesting that Whole Foods was engaged in a boycott of the Jewish State and had refused to stock products originating from Israel.

In 1995 the Prime Minister was Yitzhak Rabin and his Minister of Finance was Avraham (Beiga) Shohet. That government lavished huge salary increases on public-sector employees and the Arab sector and because of its munificence; it was credited with changing the country’s order of priorities. This phrase, ‘changing the order of priorities,’ has reappeared in the demonstrations and Fischer is issuing a warning against the mistaken policies that could be initiated as a result.

Con Edison Restores 80 Percent of Customers Hit by Hurricane Irene
September 2, 2011
Kidnap of Great Neck Rabbi’s Baby Foiled A housekeeper working temporarily for a Great Neck rabbi kidnapped the rabbi’s youngest child and attempted to smuggle the baby to South America. The abduction was foiled by family members and a local taxi driver. he housekeeper, Gloria Suarez, was working a summer job for Rabbi Yitzchok Hayempour and his wife, Tammy, at their Great Neck home. Suarez told police that she snatched 5-month-old Esther because, in Suarez’s mind, “the baby would get more love and attention from me than she would ever get from these people.” “They have so many children that they just don’t have time for her,” Suarez claimed, apparently believing that stealing the child from her family was a valid response. The Hayempours let Suarez go on Aug. 22. According to Tammy Hayempour, the family “didn’t need her services anymore.”

Con Edison employees work diligently to restore power to customers in the New York City metro area in the wake of Hurricane Irene. As of Tuesday morning, approximately 150,100 of the 187,800 customers who lost power as a result of the storm have been restored to service. For the latest outage numbers updated every 15 minutes, please go to www.ConEd.com/OutageMap. on Edison crews have focused on working safely while reconnecting customers throughout New York City and Westchester. Nearly all New York City customer restorations are expected to be completed late tonight, and nearly all Westchester customers are expected back in service by late Thursday night.
C
Flooded roads, inundated manholes, and littered and twisted tree limbs, trunks, and downed wires continue to hamper restoration efforts. Crews from utilities as far away as Texas, Colorado, and Kansas are assisting Con Edison with restoration efforts. Con Edison is reminding customers of important safety messages: Treat all downed wires as if they are live. Avoid standing water or puddles, which may hide downed wires. Report all downed wires to Con Edison and local police departments immediately.

Suarez apparently used that time to hatch her bizarre plan to kidnap Esther and take her out of the country. The former housekeeper sneaked into Esther’s room while Tammy slept, switched the baby’s pink clothes for blue to make her appear as a baby boy, making sure that the outfit had long sleeves to hide the distinct birthmark on the baby’s arm. Suarez then left the house and headed for the LIRR station in Roslyn, carrying the child in her arms. However, on her way to the station, she passed the child’s father in his car, which was stuck in traffic. “Where are you taking the baby?” Rabbi Hayempour demanded. “We’re going to CVS,” Suarez told her former employer, according to what she told police. The rabbi kept going, but not without

He searched two nearby drugstores, and when he didn’t find any sign of his daughter or Suarez, he called police. Then he and his family sprang into action, stopping buses and calling cab companies. It was Tammy’s phone call to Friendly Cab Company in Great Neck that led to her daughter’s rescue. Driver Ken Kilfoyle dropped Suarez and Esther off, then mentioned it to dispatcher Heather Condon, who told the driver about the desperate phone call she had received. Kilfoyle later said the maid “seemed a little old to have a newborn baby.” The dispatcher called police, who found the housekeeper at the train station and arrested her. Suarez, however, put up a fight, later telling detectives, “I fought them off and would not give her to them.” Suarez was arraigned Aug. 25 at Nassau County First District Court on charges of kidnapping and resisting arrest. Prosecutor Melissa Lewis said Suarez planned to take the LIRR from Roslyn to Manhattan, and then eventually fly the baby “out of the country to Uruguay.” Suarez was held without bail. After the ordeal was over, Tammy looked back and said she should have noticed something was amiss. “[Suarez] wanted a child and she told me many times,” Tammy said. “I can only tell you, God did a tremendous miracle. I guess be careful who you trust.” Esther is the youngest of the Hayempours’ 11 children. The oldest is 22.

Navy to Anchor USS New York off Manhattan for 9/11 Tenth Anniversary Ceremony U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced last week that the United States Navy has agreed to anchor the USS New York off lower Manhattan to join the 10th anniversary ceremonies of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. n a personal letter to Secretary Ray Mabus in July, Schumer urged that the Navy return the USS New York to her namesake for the commemoration, as its presence in New York Harbor would be of incredible significance to those who lost loved ones in the attacks. After weeks of negotiation, Schumer today announced the ship will anchor off Manhattan to provide a backdrop for the day’s services, and will port for several days at a New York pier before the ceremony. “It just didn’t make sense for this powerful and awesome demonstration of American strength, born out of the rubble of 9/11, not to be present for the 10th anniversary ceremonies,” said Schumer. “Over seven tons of steel from the World Trade Center were used to construct this ship and its return home makes good on its motto, ‘Never Forget’.” The USS New York is a U.S. Navy amphibious transport ship built using steel from the site of the World Trade Center in New York City. Schumer noted that the attendance of the USS New York’s crew would also play an incredibly important and symbolic role in the September 11 anniversary ceremony, as these brave individuals fight to combat terrorism and defend the United States’ freedom each day. The USS New York LPD-21 was commissioned on November 7, 2009, and is the fifth amphibious transport dock of the San Antonio class.

Popular LA Kosher Coffee Chain Opens in New York Los Angeles–based coffee chain Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf has opened its first store in the eastern half of the United States—in midtown Manhattan. esponse to the new store has been somewhat mixed, considering its location in a city full of coffee shops, whether independently owned or franchised to national or even international companies. But for consumers who keep kosher—of which there is no shortage in New York—the Coffee Bean is a G-dsend. Kosher-keeping travelers to the West Coast always knew of this chain, but often lamented its previous unwillingness to open on the East Coast. But now this has changed. In contrast to the other well-known chain of coffee shops, all products at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf—coffees, specialty coffees, pastries, sandwiches, and everything else— are certified kosher under Kof-K certifica-

Serge Benattar, Founder of Main Jewish Newspaper in France, Dies at 63 erge Benattar, founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief of Actualité Juive, the most prominent newspaper of French Jewish community, died last week at the age of 63 following a long illness. Born in Algeria in 1949, Benattar moved to France with his family in 1962 after the Algerian war. He entered journalism, creating a Jewish newsletter called Aleph, after an unsuccessful attempt at a technical career. He founded Actualite Juive in 1981 as an 8-page weekly, managing all aspects of publication including layout, content, advertising, and circulation. The paper grew into the voice of the French Jewish community, distributed throughout France and abroad. Nicole Guedj, president of the FranceIsrael Foundation, described Benattar as a “man of courage and commitment.” Sammy Ghozlan, president of an organization monitoring anti-Semitism in France, said that Benattar’s paper is “a tool of exchange and communication, serious and reliable.”

Meanwhile, the United States announced Tuesday it is widening its sanctions on Syria to include numerous other government officials.

Barak was speaking during a visit to the factory of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. division Elta Systems in Ashdod, which manufactures the radar system for the Iron Dome anti-rocket platform. There are currently two Iron Dome systems operational, protecting Beersheva and Ashkelon. Over the past few weeks, these batteries have intercepted dozens of rockets fired from Gaza at those cities. The Iron Dome systems are manufactured by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. "We're nearly at the beginning of September, and the Israel Security Agency, the Israel Police, and the IDF will be ready not to allow terrorists to disrupt people's routines in Tel Aviv and other cities," Barak said. "We're on high alert in the south against a possible attack similar to the attack ten days ago," he added, commenting on rocket fire earlier that same day, which wounded eight people, and the recent stabbing outside a club in Tel Aviv.
Yeshiva Student Placed Stickers Calling for ‘End of Zionist State’ in Prayer Books he custodians of the Tomb of Simon the Just (Shimon Hatzaddik), in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, found a disturbing act of vandalism last week: The prayers for the State of Israel and for IDF soldiers in the tomb’s siddurim (prayer books) were plastered over by stickers calling for the dismantling of the ‘Zionist state.’ “Every Jew should have in mind in his prayers that the Zionist state speedily be terminated without any harm done to any son of Israel,” the sticker stated in bold letters. The suspected vandal is a yeshiva student associated with the extremist Neturei Karta sect, according to footage obtained from security cameras. The tomb’s custodians consulted rabbis over whether to file a complaint with the police, since such a move could be considered a ‘declaration of war’ against some sectors of religious Jews visiting the place. The rabbis encouraged the custodians to turn to the law-enforcement authorities. Later, the custodians caught the vandal in the act and turned him over to the police. “It’s a despicable act,” one of the custodians said, referring to the vandalism.

NATIONAL California Legislators Propose State Block on Circumcision Bans he California Senate Judiciary Committee voted 5-0 in favor of bill to block local jurisdictions from banning male circumcision on boys under 18, thus confirming opposition to the controversial moves originally placed on the local ballots in San Francisco and Santa Monica. The bill, proposed by two Democratic legislators, would declare that circumcision has health, cultural and other benefits, that uniform statewide regulations are required to oversee it, and that it’s a parent’s decision over whether their sons receive it. Committee chair Sen. Noreen Evans said that there is a clear need for a statewide standard that would ensure other parents retain the right to make that choice. Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D- San Francisco, a co-author of the bill, told the committee that “the government and the police should not be in the middle of who should and should not be circumcised.” If the bill is approved by the full Legislature and signed into law, it would circumvent future attempts to pass local laws or ballot initiatives that would limit male circumcision on medical or any other basis.

WikiLeaks Says Website Cyber-attacked he anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, whose founder Julian Assange has been frequently accused of antiSemitism, says its website is under attack. The group said on its Twitter feed Tuesday its main site was brought down by a cyber-attack, but it provided a link where it said visitors could still search through its trove of leaked U.S. diplomatic cables. In a second message a few minutes later, the group provided a link for a so-called “mirror” site at which the main page could also be viewed. The attack comes just hours after the U.S. State Department criticized WikiLeaks' latest mass release of leaked diplomatic cables, saying it is a serious threat to individuals named in the documents and to U.S. national security. WikiLeaks in the past week has published on its website more than 125,000 State

According to several news outlets, these newly-released cables contain the names of a number of sources who had asked for protection and for their identities not to be released.

The twitter message said the New York Times, which was among the first newspapers to report WikiLeaks had identified protected individuals, was “drooling, senile, and evil.”

Grant recipients include branches across the greater New York area, as well as others in Florida and the Midwest.

JEWCY NEWS PAGE 27 Our Idiot Jewish Brother? s the main character in the new film “Our Idiot Brother” … Jewish? Well … sort of. The movie, which stars Paul Rudd and is directed by Jesse Peretz, is about the Rochlin sisters and their drugsmoking, well-meaning, simpleminded brother, Ned. The script was written by siblings Jesse and Evgenia Peretz (children of Martin Peretz, publisher of The New Republic) and David Schisgall (Evgenia’s husband). The Rochlins were originally written as a Jewish family with a domineering mother, Paul Rudd and the film even Photo courtesy of included even a scene lukeford.net with a mohel. However, after numerous rewrites and editing, the family became Protestant and there is no brit milah to be seen. Maybe they took a step back, looked at the script, and said … “naah, too Jewish.”
I Self-hating Jewish Columnist for Jerusalem Post Sacked
But the apology was not enough to satisfy the JPost, which let Derfner go on Aug. 30. The collective sigh of relief could be heard from Modi’in all the way to Brooklyn.
ong reviled by many for writing columns against Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria and in favor of a Palestinian state, JPost writer Larry Derfner truly outdid himself with a blog dated Aug. 21. In it, Larry Derfner Derfner wrote how he viewed Palestinian violence against Jews in Israel as “justified.” Writing about the attacks on Israelis near Eilat that took place two weeks ago, Derfner wrote that the terrorists “were justified to attack.... Israel, which rules the Palestinians harshly and unjustly, is to blame for those eight Israeli deaths – as well as for every other Israeli death that occurred when this country was offering the Palestinians no other way to freedom.” One wonders where his sense of compassion for his fellow Jews was. Evidently there was none. His words prompted a wave of outrage, with many expressing their feelings in writing to the editor. Still others cancelled their subscriptions to the paper. Responding to the indignation, Derfner apologized, stating, “while I thought the occupation justified it, that didn’t mean I supported it. But I see now that the distance from ‘justified’ to ‘support’ is way, way too short – and I am as far away as anybody can be from supporting attacks on Israel and Israelis.”
DSK Strikes Back!
L
awyers for Dominique StraussKahn say they’ll file a countersuit against the hotel maid who accused the former IMF chief of attempted rape if her own reps don’t back off. DSK’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, put Nafissatou Diallo’s lawyers on notice that DSK might file suit against Diallo “if the attacks of her lawyers become too bad,” as he told French Dominique newspaper Le Journal Strauss-Kahn du Dimanche. At the same time, Brafman ruled out any civil action against New York authorities. Diallo accused DSK of assaulting her in his Sofitel hotel suite in May. Prosecutors dropped the case after finding too many holes in Diallo’s credibility.

Margalit According to the charges, Tzan’ani and Tzan’ani alleged accomplice Michael Hazan threatened and extorted money from Assaf Atregi, her former agent, and Omer Adam, her manager. Tzan’ani and Hazan allegedly blackmailed Atregi into fulfilling an arbitration order obligating him to pay hundreds of thousands of shekels of Adam’s income. The district prosecutor additionally charged that Tzan’ani voted on contestants according to the instructions of Hazan and his friends in exchange for the assistance of one Shalom Domrani in blackmailing Atregi. She also allegedly tried to convince contestants to leave the show’s production company, Teddy Productions, and join an agency that Domrani and Hazan planned to create.
Lou Reed/Metallica Album Due in November he Godfather of Punk, Lou Reed, met godfathers of heavy metal Metallica in 2009 when they performed Reed’s signature song “Sweet Jane” for the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

After many years of trying to evade or avoid his roots, he fully owned up to them with a scathing critique of Jesse Jackson, Kurt Waldheim, and the Pope on his album “New York” in 1989.

Jerry Lewis a No-Show at Telethon After Nearly Half a Century omedy legend Jerry Lewis is perhaps as well known for his acting as for his philanthropy. During his 45 years as host of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon with which his name became synonymous, he helped raise nearly $2.5 billion. It was indeed a show like no other. This year, the televised fundraiser will no doubt be diminished by Lewis’ absence. Indeed, as if that’s what the folks at the MDA anticipate, the telethon will run for just six Jerry Lewis hours (Sunday from 6 PM to midnight across the United States), as opposed to the usual 21.5-hour endurance contest led by the now 85-year-old host. This year’s broadcast will see a quartet of newcomers attempting to fill in for Jerry: Nigel Lythgoe of Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” Nancy O'Dell from “Entertainment Tonight,” Alison Sweeney of “The Biggest Loser”) and Jann Carl, who is being billed as “an Emmy-winning journalist.” The telethon will be on again this Labor Day weekend, in an attempt to re-create the spectacle that Lewis brought to the small screen. But for those who watch, and remember it as the Jerry Lewis Telethon, it is unlikely to hold a candle to the original.

Internet Radio Comes Alive in Monsey BY FERN SIDMAN Anyone familiar with the glorious history of Jewish talk radio in the United States will surely recall the name of one of its chief progenitors. Back in the early 1980s, the redoubtable Rabbi Yaakov Spivak began his illustrious career on a small AM station in the backwoods of Staten Island with then-partner Zev Brenner, and today he singlehandedly commands the airwaves from his state-ofthe-art facility in Monsey, New York. ttracting a panoply of listeners from the tri-state area as well as a varied national audience, Rabbi Spivak and his cast of vibrant radio personalities can be heard on the ElectroVision Media website known as Jewish Radio Network, www.jewishradionetwork.net, each evening (commercial free) from Monday through Thursday from 7:00 to 10:00 PM, Eastern time.

thorough examination of contemporary issues facing the Jewish world, he culls classic Jewish sources from both the Mishna and Gemara in a lively sermon-like program. Scholars and lay leaders alike often appear as guests, with each contributing their own vast wealth of wisdom and insight. As the ever-growing field of kashrut seems more complex and incomprehensible to the average Jew, the affable Rabbi Shmuel Greenhaus simplifies and conveys elucidation of these issues in his program, titled “Kosher Kitchen,” that airs every Thursday evening between 8:45 and 9:00 PM. “Most people listening at this hour are preparing their Shabbos meals and frequently they find themselves in a conundrum when issues of kashrus arise,” says Rabbi Greenhaus. As a Lubavitcher rabbi and a renowned expert in the Yoreh Deah section of the Shulchan Aruch (section of the Jewish law code dealing with kosher food), Rabbi Greenhaus has earned the respect of his colleagues as Chief Field Mashgiach for United Kosher

Subsequent to Rabbi Spivak’s informative daily call-in news program at 7:00 pm, a real “powerhouse” lineup has been assembled for his listening audience. “I made it my business to provide quality programming for those listening to my show, so I am proud to have Rabbi Mendy Mirocznik, Rabbi Shmuel Greenhaus, and renowned educator Tova Cohen on board with us,” says Rabbi Spivak. Rabbi Mirocznik, director of alumni affairs at the Ayshel Avraham Rabbinical Seminary, from where he received semicha (ordination), is also an esteemed attorney from Staten Island. This young masmid (diligent Torah learner) had been a student at the Chaim Berlin yeshiva in Brooklyn for many years and with the knowledge that he’s accrued, Rabbi Mirocznik has dedicated himself to providing his audience with a scholarly hour-long Talmud class with a particular focus on Gemara Sanhedrin. “Comparing and contrasting Jewish law and laws of the Western non-Jewish world is one of the many topics that I cover, along with imparting practical applications in our everyday lives,” says Rabbi Mirocznik. He also delves into the treasures of the Mishna through the modalities of a modern lens and gives full exploration of the genesis of original sources. Eager to understand the views of his audience, Rabbi Mirocznik opens the phones every Wednesday evening as he hosts “Frank Talk” from 7:30 to 8:00 PM. Presenting a
Supervision. He also received semicha from the Ayshel Avraham Rabbinical Seminary. His base of operations is Huntington, Long Island, where he has his own shul and where his congregants flock to hear his timely shiurim (classes). Passion, extensive knowledge, and dedication are the three buzzwords to describe Mrs. Tova Cohen, a Monsey wife and mother who has achieved a stellar reputation in the field of chinuch (education). Hosting her own program called “Parsha Plus” every Thursday evening between 9:00 and 9:45, Mrs. Cohen delivers an exceptionally wellresearched parsha (weekly Torah portion) class; drawing wisdom from all of the classic commentators along with reflections on both communal and personal issues that affect all of our lives. A graduate of Teacher’s Institute for Women of Yeshiva University, Mrs. Cohen studied in Israel as part of the program. She also holds a degree in accounting from New York University. Aside from her private accounting practice, she has taught in Jewish high schools for a number of years. “I have discovered that when teaching at Jewish schools, intertwining both business management and Torah has helped many students understand that our life of Torah dedication accompanies us throughout our daily lives. Moreover, it also enhances it and assists us in always making intelligent, appropriate, and ethical decisions, thus allowing us to contribute to many Kiddushei Hashem (sanctifications of G-d’s name),” says Mrs. Cohen.

I was heartbroken to learn that during the nadir of modern Jewish history, there was a catastrophic shortage of leaders who were willing to lead their flock through the terror that engulfed them during the nightmarish years of the Holocaust. It was then that I feverishly prayed to the Almighty, importuning Him to grant me the strength, wisdom, and courage to reach as many Jews as possible; to be a purveyor of the timeless and eternal wisdom of the Torah; and to shine a light on the abject silence of the feeble establishment while providing clarity in an otherwise obfuscated Jewish world,” he intoned. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Rabbi Spivak recalls his formative years. “I didn’t exactly grow up in a teeming Jewish neighborhood. Contrary to today’s thriving Orthodox Jewish community in Atlanta, in those days my father and mother were almost the only Orthodox Jews under the age of 70 in town. We wound up there because my maternal grandfather, who was steeped in Torah learning but also had a penchant for farming,
moved down there.” Leaving home at age 12 to learn in yeshiva, Rabbi Spivak made his way to the Chofetz Chaim yeshiva in Baltimore and then on to the venerable Ner Yisroel yeshiva where he learned under its Rosh Yeshiva— the legendary Torah giant, HaGaon HaRav Yaakov Yitzchak Ruderman, ZT”L. It was there that Rabbi Spivak received his semicha and began his personal trajectory as a rebbe and educator, working in yeshivot around the country and on college campuses. The profound love of Torah learning that Rabbi Spivak was imbued with during his years at Ner Yisroel remain imbedded in the

American Manufacturers in Search for More Private Label in Israel Kosher food manufacturers and distributors in the U.S. are increasingly looking to Israel for a new generation of new and innovative kosher products. The search for new private label products is due to the important role new products have played in recent years in the growth of kosher. group of American kosher food officials concluded a week-long visit with that precise goal in mind. Led by Yakov Yarmove, Corporate Business Manager, Ethnic Marketing and Specialty Foods, SuperValu, the group visited manufacturing plants and supermarkets throughout Israel. “Stepping up the private label program,” said Mr. Yarmove, “is a win-win situation in that it introduces many new and exciting products to American consumers while at the same time offering vital economic support to Israel.” Also in the group was Laura Burke, National Director of Sales at Streit’s, and Fred Eden, a wellknown agent for American companies. The private label program is not without its problems, the officials say. The volatile dol-
A
lar has raised the question of whether the Israeli products can be competitive in the U.S. despite a commitment by many of the manufacturers not to raise prices. In addition, many American kosher brands seem to be vying for the same products, raising the specter of saturating the American market with identical products. Despite these issues, say the officials, the Israelis are well-positioned for a new era of growth. Yarmove and the other Americans agreed that in coming years the American kosher consumer may be eating more foods from the land of milk and honey. KOSHERTODAY.COM
Urging Kosher Consumers in New York to Buy Local A number of kosher retailers in New York are promoting locally grown products as part of a broader initiative by New York City. This is particularly evident in the produce department, but some say that they are also showcasing other New York manufactured products like jams and honey. ust last week, New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed a number of bills to encourage the production and procurement of locally grown food and reduce wasteful packaging.

kosher purveyors will have an opportunity to bid for city contracts as the bills mandate the agencies to purchase locally produced goods. It is believed that nearly 40% of the nation’s kosher food production is in New York State. Kosher sources told Kosher Today that most kosher consumers enjoy the luxury of choice and will not necessarily gravitate to locally produced products. “It’s still about quality and price,” said a Flatbush retailer, who says that New York “is doing just fine and really does not need any additional promotion in my store.” KOSHERTODAY.COM

GM and LG to Jointly Develop Electric Vehicles
GM-LG Sign Agreement for Electric Vehicle Cooperation—General Motors Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson and Juno Cho, president and COO of LG Corp., signed an agreement last Wednesday for GM and LG to cooperate on future electric vehicles. The companies will jointly design and engineer future electric vehicles, expanding a relationship built on LG’s work as the battery cell supplier for the Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera extended-range EVs. General Motors and LG Group will jointly design and engineer future electric vehicles, expanding a relationship built on LG’s work as the battery cell supplier for the Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera extended-range EVs. he definitive agreement, signed last Wednesday (Aug. 24), will help GM expand the number and types of electric vehicles it makes and sells by using LG’s proven expertise in batteries and other systems. For LG, the arrangement represents a widening of its portfolio as an automotive solution provider. “Many solutions for tomorrow’s transportation needs may be available more quickly by building on our partnership strategy,” said GM Vice Chairman Steve Girsky. “Consumers benefit by getting the latest fuel-saving technology faster if we work with the best suppliers and we save time and money in the development process.” The success of the extended-range propulsion system in the Volt and Ampera led to exploring other collaborations in the electrification of the automobile. Teams of LG and GM engineers will work on key components, as well as vehicle structures and architectures. Vehicles resulting from the partnership will be sold in many countries.

The GM-LG relationship that began with LG delivering the cells for the battery pack of the Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera expanded last year with work on a demonstration fleet of Chevrolet Cruze electric vehicles. These vehicles were used as official vehicles of the G20 summit in Seoul are now in the phase of market testing to learn more about capabilities and requirements. “This is a strategic development for LG and we fully support GM’s goal to lead the industry in the electrification of the automobile,” said Juno Cho, president and chief operating officer of LG Corp. Accelerating the pace of roadworthy technology is more important than ever with the announcement of a number of more stringent emission and fuel consumption regulations around the world, including the recent agreement calling for a U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) of 54.5 mpg (23.2km/l) by the end of the 2025 model year. Electric vehicles, which have no tailpipe emissions and require no gasoline, are expected to play a major role in reaching the CAFE goal. Timing of the launch of the first vehicles resulting from the partnership will be announced closer to market readiness. The agreement does not involve an exchange of equity between the companies.

Israeli Circumcision Skills As Hurricane Irene Bore Down, Saving Zulu Men Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center Rose to the Occasion In the critical run-up to Hurricane Irene, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center opened its doors to 165 Brooklyn residents evacuated from various lowlying nursing homes along the Brooklyn and Queens coastline. KJMC admitted more than 50 acute-care patients from St. John’s and Coney Island hospitals as well. n keeping with its recognized position as a provider of quality patient care, this absorption of at-risk patients and seniors facing a potential natural disaster reaffirmed KJMC’s key mission as an agent of community service and a hub of Brooklyn community life. At the height of preparation for the impending storm, as Brooklyn braced for the worst, New York State’s Health Commissioner, Dr. Nirav Shah, personally reached out to Kingsbrook to express the state’s appreciation for KJMC’s flexibility and commitment to the borough’s high-need population in times of need. “When the neediest in Brooklyn and Queens are in need of assistance, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center is always there,” Kingsbrook President and CEO, Dr. Linda Brady said. “As Hurricane Irene bore down on Brooklyn, our staff was at the hospital in full force. I hope that we were able to ease the minds of our seniors and patients and their families, knowing that they and their loved ones were safe and receiving the utmost in care and compassion.”

Dr. Inon Shenkar of the Jerusalem AIDS Project and Operation Abraham with Zulu King Goodwill Zwelethini in South Africa. good argument for delivering male adult cirBY KARIN KLOOSTERMAN An ancient Jewish religious rite turns out to be a critical weapon in the war against the spread of the HIV virus in South Africa. hile San Francisco politicians debate the necessity of the male foreskin removal rite, citing human rights concerns, Zulu King Goodwill Zwelethini of KwaZulu-Natal nods his head. The tribal leader of KwaZulu-Natal, a province of 10 million people in South Africa, recently rescinded a 200-year-old ban on the age-old practice of male circumcision, still conducted in many regions in Africa, after seeing the evidence on the spread of AIDS. Some estimates suggest than more than half of all HIV infections could be stopped if men are circumcised. Very conservative estimates are one in 10. “Circumcision is one of the interventions that reduce the risk of transmission,” says Maureen Malowany, a medical historian grounded in evidence-based medicine. The Canadian-Israeli woman has started volunteering for the Jerusalem AIDS Project (JAIP), and since March, as the NGO’s country coordinator for South Africa, has traveled there twice to help train Zulu medical personnel in the practice of male medical circumcision. So compelling is the evidence of circumcision as a protection against AIDS that physicians there are all but competing to remove the highest number of foreskins per day, Malowany tells reporters. Learning the

Up to 50 circumcision operations can be performed per surgeon, per day, according to the protocol. “The evidence,” says Malowany, “is always about context and good science. KwaZulu-Natal has a huge HIV/AIDS challenge. If the government and the king are willing to stand up and say that ‘our men need to be circumcised,’ then that’s a pretty
cumcision.” Among Jews, baby boys are circumcised on the eighth day of life, in accordance with a biblical commandment. Muslims circumcise their sons by age six, also in keeping with religious tradition. But as a medical practice, removing the foreskin has been found to dramatically reduce HIV transmission based on scientific studies, including three controlled trials in Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa in 2007. (Male circumcision is not to be confused with female circumcision, which mutilates the female genitalia by removing the clitoris partly or entirely. Jewish Israeli doctors are against this practice, although it is still reportedly done in some Bedouin communities in Israel.) Working in Africa by invitation only, volunteer doctors and nurses under the Israeli umbrella group Operation Abraham, as part of the JAIP project, have twice traveled to Saint Mary’s Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal to teach high-volume male circumcision. The team at the clinic in the region of Durban includes Zulus, Muslims, and Hindus, making it an extraordinary experience, Malowany relates. The impact factor of JAIP is in the millions. In Latin America, Israeli HIV/AIDS education has become part of the school curriculum in some countries. The all-volunteer JAIP has set a model for educating citizens of developing nations on how to stay protected from the deadly HIV virus. Since its early beginnings in 1986, the NGO has worked locally in Jerusalem, nationally in Israel, and internationally through materials utilized in about 30 countries, in coordination with groups such as the World Health Organization and UNAIDS. JAIP was commended by the United Nations in 2006 for its approach. Not long ago, founder Dr. Inon Shenkar returned from Myanmar, where he trained AIDS educators. It’s his mission, he says, to show that Israel is much more than a country in conflict. One of the special projects he has helped developed employs icon-based flashcards carried by backpackers wherever they roam. When they encounter villagers on their travels, they show the cards and explain via smiles and images how the virus spreads, and how to prevent contracting it. In Africa, JAIP is active in Swaziland, Ethiopia, Senegal, Uganda, and South Africa. More funds are being sought to continue circumcision training in KwaZulu-Natal. The group also has invitations from Uganda and Swaziland, where JAIP ran pilot training sessions in 2007 to 2008. “If 100 doctors could circumcise 1,000 men every month, for every 10 we could avert one case of HIV,” says Malowany. “For conservative estimates, that is 5,000 people in KwaZulu-Natal.” ISRAEL21C.ORG

Nearly Two Dozen Prime-Time Television Programs Now Being Filmed in the Five Boroughs-a New Record! INDUSTRY NOW SUPPORTS 4,000 LOCAL BUSINESSES AND CONTRIBUTES $5 BILLION TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Media & Entertainment Commissioner Katherine Oliver announced last week that a record 23 television series are being filmed in New York City—contributing to the growth of an industry that supports 100,000 jobs. The Mayor kicked off this year’s television season at Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on the set of Sony Pictures Television’s new series Pan Am, one of eight new primetime episodic series being filmed in New York City. his year, New York City–based shows earned a record 110 Primetime Emmy nominations for their outstanding achievements. Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Oliver were joined at Steiner Studios by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, State Senator Daniel Squadron, Assembly Member Joseph Lentol, Steiner Studios Chairman Douglas C. Steiner, Executive Director of the State Office for Motion Picture & Television Development Pat Kaufman, Pan Am Executive Producers Nancy Hult Ganis and Thomas Schlamme, the Pan Am crew, and several “Made in NY” production assistants. “Thousands of New Yorkers are hard at work building sets, making costumes, and scouting locations for the record 23 new and returning TV shows that film here,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “A show like Pan Am employs 400 people behind the scenes and generates activity for our local economy at places like lumberyards, fabric stores, and coffee shops. We’re working to strengthen and diversify New York City’s economy and create jobs, and our thriving entertainment industry is a prime example of those efforts paying off.” “This fall, our television screens will once again be filled with a host of shows that are made right here in the Big Apple,” said Commissioner Oliver. “We’re proud to call these shows ‘Made in NY’ because we know that filming in the City means jobs for our fellow New Yorkers. We wish all the new and returning shows all the best during this upcoming season and at the Primetime Emmys. We’re also so proud of our ‘Made in NY’ production assistants—young people who once unemployed and didn’t know how to break into the industry. Thanks to the free training and job skills they received, they are now flourishing on projects like Pan Am in the location and camera departments.” “Film and television production is manufacturing for the 21st century, and it is a business New York City does exceptionally well. We have the best crews anywhere, and create the best content in the world,” said Douglas C. Steiner, Chairman of Steiner Studios. “This onslaught of film and television production here is a direct result of the mayor and other elected officials working together to make New York City competitive and hassle free.”

There are also 4,000 local businesses that support the productions that shoot on location throughout the five boroughs. Pan Am, for example, employs 400 individuals behind the camera and purchases numerous goods and services from local businesses such as lumberyards, costume houses, food suppliers, hardware stores, transportation companies, hotels, office supply stores and furniture rental houses. Last year, 200 films were also shot on location in the City. “Brooklyn’s big stage is a star on the small screen, from the Cosby Show to current hits Boardwalk Empire—which is filming at Borough Hall today—and Blue Bloods which films at Broadway Stages,” said Borough President Markowitz. “And of course we are proud to welcome Pan Am to Brooklyn’s roster of TV hits. Thanks in large part to leadership from Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Oliver, vital tax incentives provided by Governor Cuomo and the legislature, and state-of-the-art facilities like Steiner Studios there has never been a more exciting time for television production in Brooklyn and throughout New York City. So when you get tired of LALA land, come to Brooklyn—or as I call it, Hollywood East.” “From Pan Am to Boardwalk Empire, the TV shows and films produced right here in New York prove that you don’t need to be in Hollywood to be a star,” said State Senator Squadron. “The TV and film industry creates jobs for countless New Yorkers, generates business, and often brings New York to the rest of the world. I’m proud to have Steiner Studios here in my district, joining the Brooklyn Navy Yards in creating new jobs in the heart of the city.” “Today’s announcement is further proof that the film industry is alive, well, and growing in our great city,” said State Senator Martin J. Golden. “I am proud of the City and State’s efforts and look forward to new
opportunities to assist.” “New York is clearly home for the 21stcentury film industry,” said Assembly Member Lentol. “We are very happy about that because so many jobs are created for each media project. Every phase of filming can be done in New York because we have great studios like Steiner Studios and the talented and creative workers that are the recipe for great economic success. Plus everyone involved in this industry loves New York and we love them.” “Pan Am joins a long list of television series that have chosen New York City as [their] backdrop, and we couldn’t be more thrilled,” said State Office for Motion Picture & Television Development Pat Swinney Kaufman. “The 30 percent New York State Film Production Credit has attracted more than 100 projects into the program since January. With the extension and expansion of the program, we have received more than 600 applications. Business is booming and these projects are helping to support our local economies across the state, bringing jobs to small businesses and employing thousands of New Yorkers.” Pan Am premieres on Sunday, September 25, on the ABC Television Network. The original series, which follows Pan Am pilots and stewardesses in 1963 at the dawn of the Jet Age, is created by Jack Orman and is produced by Jack Orman Productions, Out of the Blue Entertainment, and Shoe Money Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television. As part of the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment’s efforts to diversify the industry, the “Made in NY” Production Assistant Training Program was developed in partnership between the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and Brooklyn Workforce Innovations, a local nonprofit, to prepare disadvantaged and unemployed New Yorkers for entry-level jobs in TV and film production. Since the program’s inception in 2006, more than 300 diverse New Yorkers have become certified “Made in NY” PAs and have collectively earned approximately $6 million in wages. Three of the graduates

Both the studio and Navy Yard are undergoing major expansions. The City invested $28 million for basic infrastructure for Steiner Studios, which, combined with $100 million in private investment from Steiner, helped create one of the largest soundstages on the East Coast and 1,000 jobs. Now the City, the Federal government, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation—led by President Andrew Kimball—are investing $15 million in a substation and site work. Additionally, Steiner is investing $85 million to double the size of the studios, including space for Brooklyn College Graduate School of Cinema, creating an additional 1,200 jobs. The Brooklyn Navy Yard is one of the fastest growing and most successful urban industrial districts in the nation. The City has invested $250 million in infrastructure upgrades that have helped bring about more than $500 million in private investment. Since 2001, the Brooklyn Navy Yard has added 2,200 jobs and will add more than 2,000 additional jobs in the next two years. The industrial district is home to dozens of companies, including Duggal, a designer and manufacturer of the nation’s first wind-solar street lamps; Crye Precision, a cutting-edge designer and manufacturer of body armor and apparel to various arms of the US military; Shiel Medical Laboratory, the largest privately held medical diagnostics lab in New York City; and Gilt Group, one of the fastest growing e-commerce flash sales businesses in the nation.

Parshat Shoftim
Life Is Not Cheap BY RABBI NAFTALI REICH On the highway, in the middle of nowhere, a body is found, an apparent homicide victim. The police cordon off the crime scene and painstakingly collect whatever forensic evidence remains on the scene of the crime. They question passersby, travelers who may have seen someone or something that would shed some light on the identity of the killer, but they are no closer to finding the killer than when they began. This death will have to remain a mystery. They file it away among their other unsolved crimes. o what is to be done now? Is this the end? Having exhausted all avenues of investigation, does the case become forgotten? Not so, says the Torah. There is still a need for atonement. Exact measurements are taken from the spot in which the body was found to the surrounding towns and villages. The responsibility for atonement falls on the one closest to the scene of the crime. Their elders must bring a calf and perform the ritual of the eglah arufah, and they must say, “Our hands have not spilled this blood.” Where in the Torah do these laws appear? It wedges between two chapters that discuss _______________________________
S
“We are all brothers and sisters, all part of the Jewish people. Every Jewish life, every human life, should be infinitely precious to us. When other people suffer, we should feel their pain. When other people die, even if they are not connected to us, we should feel a sense of terrible loss.” _______________________________ the laws and ethics of waging war. The commentators explain that this placement is very telling. In war, there is a tendency to devalue human life. People see the dead and the dying wherever they turn, they are surrounded by slaughter and bloodshed, and life becomes cheap. Therefore, the Torah interrupts its instruction regarding warfare and draws our attention to the ritual of the eglah arufah.
We see the town elders declare that they did not shed this blood, when no one really suspects them of murder. At most, they may have allowed the stranger to pass through their town without offering him proper hospitality. Still, the entire town needs atonement for the unexplained death of an unidentified traveler. Clearly, all life is precious beyond measure. And just when we are studying the rules of engagement in war, we must bear in mind that we cannot allow ourselves to be brutalized and desensitized. We cannot allow ourselves to forget the infinite value of a single life. A young woman standing in a doorway saw a little boy fall off a low ledge. The child lay on the ground writhing in pain and screaming at the top of his lungs. Even from the distance, the woman could see that the child was badly injured and that his legs were smeared with blood. Screaming and crying desperately, the woman ran though the streets toward the fallen child. An old sage was also moving toward the scene of the accident, but at a much slower pace. He stepped aside and leaned on his cane to let the screaming woman pass, and then he continued on. A few moments later, he saw the woman coming back, wiping tears from her eyes with the edge of her apron. When she saw the sage, she stopped respectfully. “What happened?” asked the sage. “A moment ago you were beside yourself, and now you are so calm.” “Oh yes,” said the woman. “I am truly so relieved. I thought that my little boy had fallen and hurt himself badly, and I was beside myself with worry and fear. But I came there and saw it was not my son but someone else. Now I can breathe again.” “This other little boy?” asked the sage. “Is he badly hurt?” “I’m afraid he is,” said the woman. “Then how can you feel so calm and relieved? Aren’t you upset you that an innocent young human being is enduring so much pain and suffering?” In our own lives, we need to find it within ourselves to care for all people, not only those in our immediate circle of family and friends. We are all brothers and sisters, all part of the Jewish people. Every Jewish life, every human life, should be infinitely precious to us. When other people suffer, we should feel their pain. When other people die, even if they are not connected to us, we should feel a sense of terrible loss. We must remember that if we value other people then we ourselves have value as well.

JERRY LEIBER, COMPOSER OF “HOUND DOG,” DIES AT 78 Songwriter Jerry Leiber, who with partner Mike Stoller was the author of numerous hits of the nascent rock’n’roll era such as “Stand By Me,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Young Blood,” “On Broadway,” “Yakety-Yak,” and many others, died of cardiopulmonary failure on Aug. 22 in Los Angeles. He was 78. eiber’s first language was Yiddish. He was frequently taunted on the streets of Baltimore as a child, called “Jewboy” by an anti-Semitic gang that knocked his Hebrew school books out of his hand. Leiber and Stoller began writing together in the early 1950s when in high school in Los Angeles. According to Rolling Stone magazine, they “initiated mainstream white America into the sensual and spiritual intimacies of urban black culture that fueled the birth of rock’n’roll.” Their songs were instrumental in the formation of rock’n’roll music,

and were recorded and performed for decades by artists from Elvis Presley to the Beatles and scores of others. Leiber said he got his first taste of black music while working for his widowed mother’s grocery store in a poor neighborhood in Baltimore. While still young, a “sexy Jewish piano teacher” encouraged him to play “boogie woogie” piano, but his uncle, who had offered him the piano and the lesson, did not approve and slammed the piano cover down, nearly smashing the boy’s fingers. Speaking to the Baltimore Sun in 1997, Leiber said that “the Jewish background is not that far from the black groove,” adding that traditional Jewish music shares many traits with rhythm and blues. “Listen to any cantor, any good hazan, sing and you can hear a little bit of Ray Charles going on.” Leiber and Stoller were inducted into the

Summary of Haftarah:
Haftarah Shoftim (Isaiah 51:12-52:12) This week’s haftarah is the fourth of a series of seven “Haftarot of Consolation.” These seven haftarot commence on the Shabbat following Tisha b’Av and continue until Rosh Hashanah. he haftarahs of the past two weeks open with Israel’s complaint that they have been abandoned by G-d. Israel is not content with consolations offered by the prophets—instead they demand that G-d alone comfort them. In response, this week’s haftarah begins with G d’s response: “I, indeed I, will comfort you.” After briefly reprimanding Israel for forgetting their Creator for fear of human and finite oppressors, the prophet describes the suffering and tribulations which Israel has endured. However, the time has arrived for the suffering to end. The time has come for Israel’s oppressors to drink the “cup of suffering” which they had hitherto forced Israel to drink: “Awaken, awaken, put on your strength, O Zion; put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem the Holy City, for no longer shall the uncircumcised or the unclean continue to enter you. Shake yourselves from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; free yourself of the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.” Isaiah extols the beauty of the messenger who will announce the good tidings of Redemption. “Burst out in song, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the L-rd has consoled His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.” The haftarah ends by highlighting the difference between the Egyptian Exodus, when the Israelites hurried out of their exile and bondage, and the future Redemption: “For not with haste shall you go forth and not in a flurry of flight shall you go, for the L-rd goes before you, and your rear guard is the G-d of Israel.”

Affluent Home Owners: Art Can Create an Instant Makeover Affluent homeowners can create a new look for their rooms by changing the artwork, says Donna Hoffman, president of Interiors by Donna Hoffman, which specializes in decorating ideas for the affluent marketplace. f you’re not in the market for a total makeover, but you want to jazz things up a bit, consider finessing the art in your house,” said Hoffman. “Relocating or reframing an existing art piece or painting brings a strikingly fresh feel. One high-end client recently agreed to update and reframe just three favorite pieces for their recent downsize and the results were stupendous. Still at other times, it’s a question of adding more to a collection.” But there is one major interior design tip for buying art, she says. “People get intimidated on the subject of art: Renoir or bust? Original or forget it? Frankly, there are no hard fast rules when it comes to purchasing art, except this one: Buy what you love and, if possible, buy it when you see it,” Hoffman said. “Must it be museum quality, collector quality, or cost tens of thousands of dollars? Absolutely not. Beauty and aesthetic pleasure are so individual,” she adds. To accomplish a winning interior design idea, the designer encourages clients to open their “art thinking.” “Think beyond simply prints or oils hung everywhere,” she said. “You can also hang wonderful pieces of architectural salvage too—grates, grillwork, wrought iron, even heavily carved wooden doors with an ethnic bent. Yes, you read that right.” Expand your definition of art and you’ll

be surprised at what lends authentic beauty and memorable touches to great interiors. “Frame meaningful items like black-andwhite photos you took yourself. Create shadow boxes for collectible items like your grandmother’s handkerchiefs—or a kimono you bought overseas. For a music room or library, frame old faded sheet music or book plates,” Hoffman said. “Do try to avoid having every piece of art behind glass if possible. Oils, mixed media pieces, and sculptures create much-needed nuanced textures to offset a sea of glass. In other words, there’s an art to art.” ABOUT INTERIORS BY DONNA HOFFMAN

Recovery Tips to Homeowners In Wake of Damage from Irene Hurricane Irene did not spare Brooklyn this weekend, leaving over 600 trees downed and nearly 5,000 homes without power. To help ensure a complete recovery, Councilman David Greenfield is advising constituents to come forward with reports of damage from this weekend’s storm. ew Yorkers can submit damage reports to Forestry Services by visiting http://gis.nyc.gov/parks/forms or by calling 311. Private contractors can address fallen or damaged trees on private property, but federal law mandates that all wood from trees on residential properties in Brooklyn is subject to special handling due to infestation by the Asian Longhorned Beetle. Residents are required to contact the Department of Parks and Recreation to schedule an appointment before having a contractor remove their trees. “It’s crucial that you go online or contact 311 to register complaints about fallen trees,” Councilman Greenfield explained. “The city is attempting to qualify for federal disaster relief, and it’s important to make sure every damaged tree is accounted for. It will also be helpful to you, because it will give you a record of the complaint.” Councilman Greenfield also encourages New Yorkers to make sure they check with their insurance companies to ask what documents and forms are needed before filing a claim. Homeowners should: • Take photos and video of damage before cleaning or making any permanent repairs • Not have permanent repairs made until the insurance company has inspected the property and reached an agreement on the cost of

their respects to him in Libya. The fourth and final era began earlier this year, with the Benghazi rebellion, when Gaddafi in retreat reverted to the explicit brutality of his earlier rule, casting aside the carefully constructed image of someone newly paying attention to international expectations. With his regime in the balance, his viciousness and delusion took center stage and the results were devastating, with Libyans in great numbers rejecting him, his family, his regime, and his legacy. After decades of repression and deceit, Libyans now face the challenge of discarding
that foul legacy. They must struggle to free themselves of paranoia, depravity, and contortion. As Andrew Solomon of the New Yorker summed up the problem, Libyans “may recover from the Gaddafis’ embezzlement and brutality, but the falseness of life in the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya will take a long time to fade.” Indeed it will.

Assessing Gaddafi...

Greater futility can scarcely be imagined.” That first era ended with the U.S. bombardment of 1986 in retaliation for the bombing of a discotheque in Berlin, which seemed
to affect Gaddafi’s psyche. His rabid adventurism dramatically declined, accompanied by a turn toward Africa and an ambition to build weapons of mass destruction. As his presence on the world stage shriveled, he was dismissed as a nut-job. A third stage began in 2002, when a tamed Gaddafi paid reparations for the Libyan role in the 1988 downing of a Pan Am plane and gave up his WMD. Although the fundamentals of his regime remained in place, he became persona grata in Western countries, while the British prime minister and American secretary of state even paid

Sheikh Jaabari said he would agree to this arrangement as a temporary one, until trust was
established between Jews and Arabs. Kara tried to suggest that Palestinians are in effect Jordanians, and do not need an additional state. Jaabari agreed that most Jordanians are Palestinians and that many of the Arabs in Judea and Samaria are Jordanian citizens. However, he said that once Jordan announced its disengagement from Judea and Samaria in 1988—the option of “Jordan
as Palestine” became difficult to implement. Perhaps a confederation of some sort with Jordan or Israel is still possible, he said, but this too is difficult after the Oslo process, because “everyone wants to be a part of the leadership and if there is no state there is no leadership.” In any case, he said, an independent Palestinian state is not an option.

tarize the Sinai, ostensibly to control the Bedouin, with Israeli approval. The masses are demanding Israel’s ambassador in Cairo be ejected from the country—a qualitative first step to the cessation of peaceful relations.
The once-touted Camp David Accords seem to have been cast into Cairo’s dustbin. In terms of relations between Jerusalem and Cairo, it is increasingly looking like a return to the strategic reality of October 5, 1973.

Nor did he explain how a 1906 document from an Ottoman Sultan bears any contemporary relevance in light of the Camp David Accords. Of note is that amidst the debate between Egyptian MP and Foreign Ministry officials, no mention is made of possible legitimate Israeli sovereignty of Eilat. The debate in Cairo has two camps: the Foreign Ministry which claims that Eilat belongs to the
Palestinians, and the opposition MPs who claim that Eilat belongs to Egypt. The opposition Egyptian MPs threatened on Thursday to relay their demand for an Israeli withdrawal from Eilat to the Arab League to handle. Despite Israel’s 1979 peace treaty with Egypt, the Arab League’s 1948 declaration of war to liquidate the state of Israel remains in force. Egypt’s 2011 revolution has brought a wave of radical anti-Israel sentiment to the country. Egypt has already sought to remili-

On another major issue, 83% of the youth
said they would prefer that Israel not sign a peace treaty with Syria if it calls for the return of the Golan Heights. “We’ve tried reaching peace agreements and it hasn’t worked,” one teenager told Channel 10. “Maybe we need to take measures that are more aggressive.” MK Michael Ben Ari (National Union) welcomed the results and said, “Israeli youth is a healthy youth and the left and the media cannot spoil it. The youth has had enough of surrender and humiliation and they want a different policy toward the enemy.”

Touro College Graduate School of Education Offers Certification in Teaching Students with Disabilities Touro Graduate School of Education will offer a new Master of Science in Teaching Students With Disabilities in Grades 7-12 this fall. The program will explore adolescent development and learning and teaching processes. This degree addresses a growing need for trained special education teachers across New York State. t this time of economic downturn and hiring freezes, the program leads to certification in areas of instruction in which there are deep shortages of qualified teachers,” said Dr. Lamar Miller, dean of the Graduate School of Education. “There are many unfilled high school special education teaching positions waiting to be filled by skilled teachers.” The program prepares teachers to work with disabled students across subject areas and disciplines at the grade 7-12 level. Graduates of the program can teach as coteachers, consulting teachers, and resource room teachers. With additional coursework, graduates can also teach as head teachers. “Our graduates have done exceptionally well finding positions as teachers even in this economic climate,” said Associate Dean Dr. Ronald Lehrer. “Our programs integrate theory with practice, putting our graduates in a very good position to succeed in their

ICRF Evening of Lautenberg Announces Inspiration Draws Support Nearly $158M for NJ From Local Community Homeland Security Programs Grants Will Allow State, Localities to Improve Emergency Response and Preparedness
(L to R) Charles Ben-Dayan, co-chair of the ICRF Evening of Inspiration, and his wife Ariela, with Samantha and Bobby Harary, who hosted the event in their home.
hese homeland security grants invest in the safety of our communities by providing critical resources to protect against and prepare for potential terrorist attacks,” Sen. Lautenberg said. “Our state is home to the most vulnerable area in the country for terrorism and it is critical that adequate funding is provided to our country’s most at-risk areas. While Republicans continue their attempts to decimate these critical security programs, I will keep fighting to make sure federal resources are available to meet New Jersey’s security challenges.” The funding announced today comes from the Fiscal Year 2011 budget, which Congress approved earlier this year. During consideration of the budget, House Republicans proposed deep cuts to homeland security grants that would have dramatically reduced homeland security grant funding to New Jersey. House Republicans are again trying to cut these programs and released a plan to reduce homeland security grant funding for the FY 2012 by more than 50 percent. In July 2011, Sen. Lautenberg wrote to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano urging the Department to allocate transit security funding for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, New Jersey Transit, and the Delaware River Port Authority due to the high risk of a terrorist attack in New Jersey. The following are the final grant allocations announced today by DHS to strengthen New Jersey security programs: • $51.7 million for the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP), to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and travelers from acts of terrorism, major disasters, and other emergencies. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will receive $28.6 million, New Jersey Transit will receive $16.4 million, and the Delaware River Port Authority will receive $6.7 million. • $42 million for the Port Security Grant Program, enabling New Jersey/New York and New Jersey/Pennsylvania/Delaware port regions to implement Area Maritime Transportation Security Plans and facility security plans among port authorities, facility operators, and State and local government agencies required to provide port security services. • $37.3 million for the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), helping the Jersey City/Newark area to address the unique security needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas and to help them prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. • $1.9 million for the UASI

The torrential storms did not dampen the spirits of the hundreds of guests who came to support Israel’s lifesaving cancer research. li Gindi welcomed the members of the community and presented the first award to event co-chairpersons Lisa Oved and Charles Ben Dayan. The Hararys were thanked for graciously opening their home and were given an award for their generosity and support of the ICRF mission. Kenneth Goodman, chairman of ICRF, spoke about how Israel has a culture that nourishes extraordinary cancer research that is out of proportion to the size of the country. “The entrepreneurial spirit of the Israeli nation is at work in the scientific research community and it has yielded spectacular results. Some of the scientific discoveries have helped to lead to treatments such as Doxil, Gleevec, and Velcade that today are saving thousands of lives of cancer victims around the world.’’ However, Goodman explained, the Israel Government has limited resources for scientific research since it is strapped by a large defense burden. “The funding of the ICRF is of vital importance and we must do more if we are going to successfully find a cure.” Presenting an award to Sadie JemalMeyers, Goodman recognized her ongoing support of the annual Evening of Inspiration and for coordinating the fashion show. Sherry Tawil, the “Inspirational Speaker,” shared her personal journey with cancer and

HAI BAR CARMEL AND YOTVATA: BIBLICAL WILDLIFE IN ISRAEL
At Hai Bar Carmel, you enjoy the sight of graceful herd of Persian fallow deer, the males with their noble antlers and the dappled young “Bambis” resting in the shade with their moms. At Hai Bar Yotvata, the ostriches gather curiously around your car and the oryx nuzzle each other companionably. But these are no ordinary zoos. You are seeing biblical wildlife that has returned to thrive in this land after a long absence. ersian fallow deer, Armenian wild sheep, gazelles, oryx, addaxes, wild asses, as well as birds like vultures, owls, and ostriches, all mentioned in the Bible, were part of the scenery here until World War I. It was then that the widespread use of firearms to hunt these magnificent creatures brought many to extinction. In the late 1960s, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA) decided to embark on its wildlife restoration project by reintroducing the Persian fallow deer. Just before the Iranian revolution, the Shah had agreed to give Israel a number of these beautiful animals from his own breeding program. In a dramatic airlift after the fall of the Shah, Israel managed to get four of the deer aboard the last El Al flight out of Tehran. Persian fallow deer are still among the animals protected and nurtured at Hai Bar Carmel, nestled among Carmel’s wooded hills. From here, some are gradually released to the wild in the Upper Galilee and the Jerusalem Mountains, wearing special radio collars so experts, assisted by volunteers, can keep tabs on their welfare and progress.
P
Your tour of the Hai Bar Carmel reserve begins with a beautiful overview of the pastoral surroundings from the roof of a small visitor center, which showcases the INPA’s animal reintroduction efforts. Then it’s time to explore the reserve: You’ll walk down the mountain along an 800-yard paved trail. From wooden balconies you can easily spy the residents—roe deer (mentioned in the Song of Songs), wild goats, gazelles, and wooly Armenian sheep. Signs explain about each animal and its habits. At the end of the walk, you’ll find the enclosures for the fallow deer and the magnificent Griffon vultures, which are also fostered here. You’ll enjoy a different kind of wildlife experience at Hai Bar Yotvata, 30 minutes north of Eilat. Here, you drive the few miles through the reserve seeing animals along the way—the oryx believed to be the origin of the unicorn myth, since in profile their pair of scimitar-shaped horns appear as one), Somali wild asses, addaxes, ostriches, and more. The INPA ranger who greets you can rent you a CD to play in your car, which describes the animals and tells unusual stories about their habits and even the idiosyncrasies of some individuals. Your tour ends with a visit to the Night Life Room, where dimly lit enclosures reveal the desert’s nocturnal denizens, and the predator center, home to spotted leopards, wolves, the gianteared caracal, snakes, and more.

SHOMRIM WINS SOFTBALL MATCH AGAINST NYPD?!
Boro Park’s Shomrim emerged victorious (10-3) in a softball match against New York’s Finest, held last Wednesday. Both teams are seen here with Councilman Greenfield, who hosted the event for its second year in a row. Councilman David Greenfield made it 2-for-2 this year, hosting his second annual Greenfield Classic, a softball game that pitted the officers of the 66th Precinct against members of the Boro Park Shomrim on Wednesday evening, August 24, at the St. Athanasius sports complex on 53rd Street and 20th Avenue in Boro Park. he NYPD’s 66th Precinct and Shomrim played with passion and pride for seven exciting innings, dazzling the hundreds of cheering spectators in the crowd. Shomrim southpaw Menachem Diamondson put together a spellbinding pitching performance over seven frames, limiting the NYPD to three runs and holding off numerous rally threats in the late innings. Shomrim got out to an early lead over the 66th and kept the runs coming to secure the victory, matching the NYPD’s win last year with a title of their own. “The crowd and the atmosphere were terrific tonight,” said a pleased Councilman Greenfield. “Both teams competed hard and displayed terrific sportsmanship.” Councilman Greenfield continued, “Shomrim may have won this time, but everyone here comes out on top because the NYPD’s relationship with Shomrim continues to make our community stronger and safer. This game was a huge success and drew spectators from all across our community in support of two of the greatest Boro Park institutions—the 66th Precinct of the NYPD and the volunteer Shomrim Brooklyn South Safety Patrol.” The event drew hundreds from the Boro Park community, including community leaders like Assemblyman Peter Abbate, Jr., Councilman Lew Fidler, Councilman Jumaane Williams, Councilman Vincent Gentile, Councilwoman Letitia James, Deputy Inspector John Sprague, Lieutenant Jimmy Sellek, Detective Mike Milici, Detective Vinny Galeno, Sergeant Yitzy Jablon, and Shomrim Coordinators Yanky Daskall, Simcha Bernath, Moti Katz, Sam Follman, Shaya Lichtenstein, and Abe Kastow. Starters for Shomrim Boro Park included Ushi Wittel (right field), Meir Rosinger (shortstop), Shia Weiss (center field), Yossi Wasertal (short center field), Motty Friedman (second base), Menachem Diamondson (pitcher), Mordy Itzkowitz (third base), Abe Feltman (catcher), Shlomie Gluck (first base), and Motty Perl (left field).

The Greenfield Softball Classic was privately sponsored by Councilman Greenfield, Lunch Break on 17th Avenue & 62nd Street, and CandyLand of 16th Avenue. Thanks to their support, hundreds of people enjoyed food and refreshments, including glatt ______________________________

At the end of the game, Councilman Greenfield presented the beautiful Greenfield Classic Trophy to Shomrim softball team captains Yossi Wasertal and Shlomie Gluck. Shomrim will get to keep this trophy until next summer, when they will have to defend their title against the 66th Precinct.
