NYPD ready to “shoot planes out of the sky” Rabbi Edmond Nahum
By JV Staff decision has been handed down in the case of Rabbi Edmond Nahum last Thursday, the latest trial stemming from a corruption probe that has snagged dozens of New York and New Jersey residents—including dozens of politicians and five rabbanim. Rabbi Nahum was on trial for his alleged involvement with the now infamous “CW” informant Solomon Dwek. As part of the plea in which Rabbi Nahum was described as a minimal participant, the U.S. Attorney’s office agreed to a non-custodial sentence. Rabbi Nahum pleaded guilty to transferring money without a license. Judge Pisano imposed the lowest sentence — just one year of probation, waiving any additional fines. A personal confidant of Rabbi Nahum was present at the sentencing, and described the experience to our reporters. In the court room sat nearly two dozen lay leaders from New York and New Jersey’s Jewish community. “No one moved, and the room was absolutely silent.

n a very passionate speech to the UN General Assembly on Friday, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is willing to negotiate with the PLO in any place and at any time to find a solution to their requests for an autonomous Palestinian State. He invited Mahmoud Abbas to come to Jerusalem or, alternatively, he offered to come to Ramallah to start talking dugri, an Arabic term meaning “sincerely” or “straightforwardly.” He then declared that he would even be willing to meet Abbas while the two of them are in New York to jumpstart negotiations. His speech, albeit scheduled many months earlier, became a direct response to the speech delivered by PLO President Mahmoud Abbas less than an hour earlier. Abbas, as was expected, handed over to the UN General Assembly a written request for

recognition of a Palestinian State. Abbas’ speech showed little change in the PLO attitude of wanting all of Israel. Abbas stated “we agreed to establish the State of Palestine on only 22% of the territory of historical Palestine - on all the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel in 1967.” Abbas further stated that Israel was a colonial apartheid country that stole Palestinian land on the most tragic day in Palestinian history (i.e. Israel Independence Day) in 1948. Abbas continued his tirade against Israel and stated that Israel’s expansion of its settlements, thereby encroaching upon Palestinian land, created a “de facto new border.” He reiterated that the new Palestinian state will include all of the West Bank Israeli settlements and that the capital of Palestine will be “Al-Quds,” the Arabic name for Jerusalem. In an earlier speech, Abbas expressed the true

ISRAEL PRAISES, PA DISMISSES QUARTET’S PEACE INITIATIVE NETANYAHU: SETTLEMENTS ARE NOT THE CORE BUT A RESULT OF THE CONFLICT fter delivering a speech at the United Nations deemed as confrontational and un-conciliatory by pundits, the Palestinian Authority went on to dismiss the Quartet on the Middle East’s peace statement. “Speaking to the official Voice of Palestine radio, [PA Foreign Minister Riad] al-Malki criticized the Quartet's failure to call for a settlement freeze or the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Palestinian land occupied in 1967. The only new proposal offered by the Quartet was a time limit for discussing security and borders, he added,” the Palestinian news agency Ma’an reported. The Quartet, comprised of the United States, the U.N., Russia and the European Union, stated that it supports the vision of
A
Israeli-Palestinian peace outlined by U.S. President Barack Obama. The American administration emerged as a strong voice of support for Israel’s call for direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians and against the Palestinian plan for diplomatic recognition of statehood at the U.N. “The Quartet reiterated its commitment to a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East and to seek a comprehensive resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and reaffirms the importance of the Arab Peace Initiative,” the Quartet’s statement read. It called on the Palestinians to heed previous U.N. Security Council Resolutions 242, 338, 1397, 1515, 1850, the Madrid principles including land for peace, the Roadmap, and the agreements previously
reached between the parties. “The Quartet reiterated its urgent appeal to the parties to overcome the current obstacles and resume direct bilateral Israeli Palestinian negotiations without delay or preconditions,” the statement added. Israel’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, considered a hawkish member of Netanyahu’s coalition, said Israel should accept the Quartet’s principles and its statement on Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. He was speaking Israel Radio on Sunday (Sept. 25). In his speech, Abbas outlined a laundrylist of Israel’s wrongs and blamed the country for the plight of the Palestinian people. He referred to the ‘Nakba,’ or the catastrophe that refers to the creation of the state of Israel
in 1948, several times throughout his speech. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointed out that Abbas’ mentioning of 1948 as a point of reference is important because 1948 was the year that Israel was established. Yet 1967 is the year Israel took control of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. “The core of the conflict is not the settlements. The settlements are a result of the conflict,” explained Netanyahu. The resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would likely involve Israel withdrawing from large tracts of the West Bank. The four previous Israeli leaders have voiced support for this idea.
U.S. Hikers: Iran Held Us Because of Nationality, Not Actions BY PETER FEDYNSKY Two American hikers released after 781 days in an Iranian prison are back in the United States. Appearing at a news conference in New York on Sunday, the two men criticized Iran for holding political prisoners and the United States for maintaining the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Iranian prison officials used the Guantanamo facility as justification to deny Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer better prison conditions. Captivity details Josh Fattal described their captivity as nearly complete isolation in Tehran’s Evin Prison. He said he and Shane Bauer were forced to live in a world of lies and false hopes.
“We had to go on hunger strike repeatedly just to receive letters from our loved ones. Many times, too many times, we heard the screams of other prisoners being beaten, and there was nothing we could do to help them," he said.
remind us of CIA prisons in other parts of the world, and the conditions that Iranians and others experienced in prisons in the U.S," he said.
Shane Bauer told reporters that it is the Iranian people who bear the brunt of what he termed their government’s cruelty and disregard for human rights. He called for the immediate release of all political prisoners in Iran. While thanking American diplomats for helping to gain their release, he also directed criticism at the United States.
Fattal, Bauer and a third American, Sarah Shourd, say they were hiking along Iraq's unmarked border and might have unknowingly strayed into Iran in July 2009. The three were arrested and charged with espionage. They say they were held hostage only because they were Americans. Shourd was released in September 2010. She appeared with her two colleagues in New York, along with family members of the hikers.
“In prison, every time we complained about our conditions, the guards would immediately remind us of comparable conditions at Guantanamo Bay. They would
Why they were arrested
What's next? The hikers expressed gratitude to the tens of thousands of people who participated in an international campaign to win their release. They included world leaders, Nobel laureates, diplomats, the U.N. secretary-general, officials in the Iranian government and former boxing champion Mohammed Ali. While Sarah Shourd was imprisoned in Iran, Shane Bauer asked whether she would marry him. She agreed. Now that she is reunited with her fiancé, Shourd says she looks forward to being married soon. Josh Fattal will be their best man. Voanews.com
A-Jad: Israel Holding Iranian Diplomats Since 1982 south of the Litani River to ensure Lebanon's violence didn't spill over into the Jewish state. Some 17,000 civilians went missing during Lebanon's civil war and fate of the missing diplomats had remained a non-starter, with no accusations leveled at Israel, for decades. But in June 2008, Hizbullah claimed out of the blue to have received a report, which it did not see fit to make public, indicating the four were alive and held in Israel. Then, in June 2011, Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghazanfar Roknabadi claimed the four men are alive and possibly imprisoned in Israeli jails. He urged the Lebanese government to pursue the issue. Israeli officials, however, say the four were killed by Lebanese militiamen shortly after their abduction in 1982.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Israel of holding an Iranian diplomatic team incognito for 29 years.
ranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad has accused Israel of kidnapping and holding four Iranians, three of them diplomats, prisoner since 1982. “Regarding the four abducted Iranian diplomats, there are documents [that show] they are alive and in the hands of the Zionist Regime [of Israel],” Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency quoted Ahmadinejad as telling UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon during a meeting in New York on Saturday. “It is therefore expected of the UN Secretary General to take serious measures for their release,” Ahmadinejad said. Three Iranian diplomats, Mohsen Mousavi, Ahmad Motevaselian and Taghi Rastegar Moghadam, along with an Iranian photographer, Kazem Akhavan, disappeared amid the chaos of the civil war in Lebanon on 4 July 1982. Tehran maintains the four were abducted by Falangist fighters who handed them over to Israel, which had established a buffer zone

English Ha’aretz Covers Up Palestinian Violence Hebron, Palestinian security forces lost control of the protesters for a few minutes and dozens managed to break through a roadblock and hurl stones at Jewish houses in the city.” Moreover, readers of Ha'aretz's Hebrew print edition are treated to a much more detailed picture of yesterday's violence. A stark contrast to the English headline about "peaceful" protests, the Hebrew headline reads: "Clashes between protestors and IDF forces in Qalandiyah and Hebron; a toddler is injured lightly." Also, significantly, the first paragraph of the article, by Anshel Pfeffer and Chaim Levinson, explicitly refers to "violent incidents" (CAMERA's translation follows): “A 20-month-old Israeli girl was lightly injured by Palestinian stone-throwing close to Tapuach Junction in Samaria. Another Israeli was lightly injured by a rock thrown next to Halhul, north of Hebron. Several violent incidents involving security forces and Palestinians were reported in the West Bank, mainly close to the Qalandiyah checkpoint north of Jerusalem and next to the Jewish community in Hebron. Nevertheless, according to the IDF, the incidents do not reflect an overall escalation in the territories.” Inexplicably, Ha'aretz's Hebrew site, like its English counterpart and the English print edition, does not mention the injured Israelis, including the 1-year-old. For more information on the injured girl, visit www.Ynetnews.com. Whitewashing Terrorists' Mother: Translating from Arabic to Hebrew, But Not to English The Ha'aretz English editors and translators, it seems, are working overtime these days to smooth things over for the Palestinians. The Israeli media watch Web site www.Latma.co.il flagged another case of "Ha'aretz, Lost in Translation," this time involving the paper's coverage of Latifa Abu Hmeid, the Palestinian
BY TAMAR STERNTHAL, CAMERA.ORG
For years, Snapshots, CAMERA's blog, has been highlighting how the English edition of Ha'aretz, relied upon by Western journalists, diplomats and opinion makers, has a tendency to cut out and and/or alter critical information appearing in the Hebrew version of the newspaper. Invariably, as our "Ha'aretz, Lost in Translation" series points out, the English edition downplays or omits information that portrays the Palestinians in a negative light. page-two article in Thursday’s paper brings a new, striking example of the ongoing phenomenon. In the print edition, the article is headlined: "First day of protests passes peacefully as PA police keep demonstrators in their cities." Yesterday's Palestinian protests "pass[ed] peacefully"? The headline writer, it appears, got carried away. One only has to read the accompanying article in English to learn that while Palestinian forces did manage to largely contain protests within Palestinian cities, yesterday's events did include violent incidents. Anshel Pfeffer writes: “Yesterday saw a significant rise in incidents of Palestinians stoning Israeli vehicles on West Bank roads. There was also friction at the Qalandiyah checkpoint north of Jerusalem and near the Jewish settlement in Hebron, but the IDF said such incidents were to be expected and do not indicate an escalation in the territories. “Dozens of Palestinian teens threw bottles and rocks at IDF positions in Qalandiyah.... Stone-throwing continued throughout most of the days, and two Palestinians protesters were lightly injured.... Near the Jewish settlement in

sion to the United Nations office in Ramallah and to deliver a letter addressed to Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, thereby formally launching the Palestinian statehood campaign. The Hebrew coverage of Abu Hmeid's role this week, by Avi Issacharoff, commendably quotes her: “I hope there will not be shooting and there will not be injured. We don't wish to see more of our people killed. I paid a very high price, like every Palestinian household. There are those killed, there are prisoners. I am prevented from seeing my four sons. We want peace with Israel, but Israel does not want peace. We will return to our lands, include the lands of 1948.” (Emphasis added, CAMERA's translation.) And the English version? Apparently not wishing to detract from the "we're not interested in an intifada" sentiment expressed in the article, Ha'aretz tactfully — or, some might say, deceptively — omits Abu Hmeid's less peaceful remark.

ens of thousands of Israelis who are planning to depart in the coming days to visit the burial site of Rav Nachman of Breslov may not get a warm welcome this year. A group of local residents in the Ukraine city of Uman, where the rabbi's tomb is located, have called on residents to come out to a major protest against their Israeli visitors, demanding that the city ban them. As many as 50,000 Israelis could visit the site over the next two weeks – culmi-

nating in Rosh Hashanah services at the site. According to his students, Rav Nachman announced to his followers that he would provide a special blessing to them if they made the effort to pray near his tomb on the Jewish New Year, and for hundreds of years, except for during World War II—with limited groups permitted to visit during periods when Ukraine was under Communist control— Breslov Chassidim have streamed to the site, with the excursion gaining popularity in recent years among Jews from the Breslov and other Chassidic groups. This year is expected to be the best ever for “Uman tourism,” as a new agreement allows Israelis to enter Ukraine without arranging a visa in advance. But apparently some Uman residents have decided they would rather keep out the large Jewish groups who take up residence in their town this time of year. In recent days, large posters depict an “alienlike” Jewish figure behind the universal “unwanted” symbol, with the poster's headline proclaiming “Uman without Chassidim.” The poster invites the public to a series of protests demanding that the government refuse entry to the Chassidic groups. The first protest took place several weeks ago, attracting several hundred people, sources in Uman said. Marches have been held in previous years, with residents complaining that they feel “like under occupation” when the Jewish visitors are in town. The marches have generally been identified with Ukranian nationalists, who have been associated with European neo-Nazi groups. Officials of the World Breslov Center, which organizes and coordinates the visits, have asked the Uman municipality to ensure the safety of visitors. Last year, a 19 year old Israeli visiting the site was murdered by a group of local residents, who smashed the window of a car owned by a Jewish visitor. Shmuel Tubul, who had recently gotten engaged, along with his younger brother, rushed outside to see what had happened, and were set upon by the Ukranian gang, one of whom stabbed Tubul in the chest.

WIESENTHAL CENTER URGES THAI LEADERS TO CONDEMN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL EVENT GLORIFYING NAZIS The Simon Wiesenthal Center is calling on Thailand’s Christian leaders to condemn a Nazi parade at the Sacred Heart Preparatory School in Chiang Mai. Led by students, the parade was replete with Seig Heil salutes, Nazi marches, gun-toting adults and even a young person dressed as Adolf Hitler. The march started on the school grounds and continued into the streets of the adjoining neighborhood. “Disgusted parents and outraged members of the public forwarded visuals of a Nazi parade at the Sacred Heart School, the second such incident since 2007, involving the veneration of Nazism at a Thai school,” charged Rabbi Abraham Cooper associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights NGO. “It is difficult to calculate the hurt such a display inflicted on survivors of the Nazi Holocaust and the families of all victims of Nazism. There can be no justification for such an outrage to emanate from place of learning. “The Nazis were responsible for the Holocaust, history's worst crime, and had they prevailed during World War II, their racist ideology would have eventually targeted all races the Nazis deemed ‘inferior’, including Asians,” Rabbi Cooper added. “From the visual evidence, it is clear that this Nazi celebration could not have taken place without the knowledge and cooperation of the school administration. The Simon Wiesenthal Center urges that those ultimately responsible for a school calling itself ‘Christian’ take immediate action against all those responsible for pro-
moting and facilitating this disgraceful display. It is important that the pedagogical decisions at Sacred Heart be put in the hands of people who themselves know right from wrong,” Cooper added. “If and when an administration is put in place at Sacred Heart that is committed to teaching ethics and history, our Center is prepared to provide the materials that will educate the faculty and student body about the Nazi mass murder of 6 million Jews, including 1.5 million children, gypsies and other innocent victims,” Cooper concluded. Rabbi Cooper, a frequent visitor to Asia, added that a similar parade took place in 2007 at a school in Bangkok involving 200 students. More recently, ‘Slur’, a rock band, donned Nazi uniforms and swastikas in a music video. The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, the OAS, the Council of Europe and the Latin American Parliament (Parlatino). For more information, please contact the Center's Public Relations Department, 310553-9036, or join the Center on Facebook.

Ten Anti-Israel Activists Convicted in "Irvine 11" Case Jurors convicted 10 pro-Palestinian protesters from the University of California Irvine Friday on charges stemming from an orchestrated series of interruptions during a February 2010 speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren. Superior Court Judge Peter Wilson sentenced the 10 to probation. They faced up to six months in jail for the misdemeanor counts of conspiracy and disrupting a public meeting. he verdict comes after two and a half days of deliberations, wrapping up a trial which pitted the students' right to protest against the freedom of speech by the Israeli official. There is no right for a "heckler's veto" taking over another person's speech and shutting it down, argued Orange County Deputy District Attorney Dan Wagner. The students cared more about getting their message across than the rules of the meeting, and they planned to disrupt regardless of consequences from the university administration or police. Eleven students were arrested at the speech, but only 10 stood trial. At the center of the trial was the students' disruption method, the so-called "Chicagostyle" protest organized by members of the Muslim Student Union (MSU), a chapter of the national Muslim Students Association. Seven UC Irvine students and three others from UC Riverside stood up and shouted accusations of murder and genocide at the ambassador, before being escorted out by

remarks, the substantial interruptions prevented him from completing a question and answer session. The defense argued that the students were not bound to act in a "courteous" and "polite" manner, despite repeated admonitions from the professor organizing the event and the university chancellor. The charges were based primarily on a series of emails, which showed that students weighed several protest options and decided on the incessant interruptions. According to emails, the students rejected a silent protest and a number of other Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, who, accord- less aggressive methods ing to the Muslim Student Union of UC Irvine, is of protest in favor of not entitled to the same free speech that they are. shutting down the ambassador with interruptions. police.

Salam al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) called the verdict "a sad day for democracy" in an interview on KPCC radio in Los Angeles. He predicted it would have a chilling effect on campus protest. He also accused the District Attorney's office of selective prosecution, saying it only went to court because it was an Israeli official protested by Muslim students. But a caller identifying himself as Mustapha, an MSU member, said the verdict would not slow student protesting at all. If Oren returned to UCI, Mustapha said, he would protest the speech in the exact same way as his convicted colleagues. The students' actions met three critical conditions for conviction, Wagner told jurors. They willfully violated explicit rules and customs of the speech; they knew, or should have known, that their actions were criminal; and that their protest was a substantial interruption. The defendants ignored seven specific warnings from administrators and spurned opportunities for dialogue in order to seize control of the event. Defense attorneys countered that neither the university administration nor the police had the authority to stifle the students' freedom to protest. They called two university professors who argued that political speeches have no norms or rules that can stop protest, even if those standards come from police officers or from high level campus officials. In response to the prosecution's claims of a conspiracy, several defense lawyers used

Pro-Israel Christians and Jews Unite at UN Rally
Sept 21 rally at the UN. BY FERN SIDMAN Scores of stalwart Christian supporters of Israel along with sizeable contingents of Jews poured into Dag Hammarskjold Plaza near the United Nations last Wednesday morning (Sept. 21) to express their indignation over the unilateral Palestinian bid for statehood planned as part of the annual UN general assembly meeting. Sponsors of the rally said that a coalition of close to 50 Christian and Jewish organizations along with the Israeli government had taken part in mobilizing over 5000 people to attend under the banner of the "Eagles Wings Coalition Council," named for the Buffalo, New York-based organization of the same name, headed by Robert Stearns. Many rally participants had traveled from across the United States and Canada to attend. ust as President Barack Obama concluded his address to the General Assembly by exhorting the Palestinians to abandon their quest for a unilateral declaration of statehood at the United Nations, speaker after speaker underscored the relentless antiSemitism and blatant anti-Israel activities that have become commonplace at the UN. According to UN Watch in Geneva, over the last five years, the UN Human Rights Council has adopted 70 resolutions condemning specific nations, and 40 of those have been levied against Israel. Likewise, the General Assembly has adopted approximately 20 anti-Israel resolutions each year, compared to only half a dozen targeting other countries. The demonstrators also roundly condemned the Durban III conference that is scheduled for the following day and marks the 10th anniversary of the first Durban Conference in South Africa. The agenda of the UN-sponsored conference was purportedly to have addressed issues of global racism, sexism and xenophobia, but rapidly morphed into a series of forums in which anti-Israel non-governmental organizations used their time to propagandize against the Jewish state. "The original Durban conference equated Zionism with racism,” said Robert Stearns, director of Eagle's Wings. “Thankfully, the United States government and many others have not participated in the Durban conference, and yet it continues. A Durban event in Geneva went so far as to invite the president of Iran as the keynote speaker. When he’s your keynote speaker at a human rights rally, you should know there’s a problem”, he added.

Saying that everyone attending the rally serves as "watchmen on the wall of Israel", he pointed to the religious rights granted to minorities in Israel as well as rights for women and noted that Israel is "the only democracy in the Middle East". “I believe that all of us who worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob found in the Bible see the modern state of Israel as an expression of God’s fidelity to his friend Abraham,” he said, “so we are concerned and pay attention to what’s happening in Israel.” As organizational and community leaders gathered on the stage, the rally attendees held aloft signs saying, "Stop the UN Double Standards," "Israel: We Stand With You," "Jews Want Peace: Arabs Want Pieces", and "Denounce Durban III" while a sea of blue and white Israeli flags were also raised. "The whole land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people," said Helen Freedman, the executive director of Americans For a Safe Israel (AFSI). "The unilateral declaration of independence is very, very dangerous, because what it does is signal to the Arabs that they now have a state. There's no legitimacy to their claim for a state, but the population will get the message that they do have entitlement and the whole situation will really spiral out of control," she declared. Roz Rothstein, national director of the pro-Israel student advocacy organization StandWithUs said, "Today we are all Israelis." Pointing to the UN, she declared, "In that building over there, they are fools. They have turned right and wrong upside down. They have turned evil and good upside down." "Do not compromise in the name of peace. Do not even talk about peace when the other does not want it," intoned Simon Deng, a refugee from the Sudan and a former slave. Calling himself "a friend of the State of Israel," he drew wild applause from the crowd when he called for "an undivided Jerusalem as Israel's capital." Spotlighting the hypocrisy of the world body, Deng said, "The UN is turning a blind eye to racism in the Islamic world while condemning democratic Israel." Focusing on the escalating genocidal agenda emanating from Teheran, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Danny Danon said, "Inside the UN today you can see hatred against the Jewish people. President Obama, you have to wake up and you have to show leadership and you have to deal with the threat that is coming from Iran." Other speakers included Herb London of the Hudson Institute, Dr. Marvin Belsky of the Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam (HRCARI), Richard Allen of JCC Watch; Bishop Carlton T. Brown, from Harlem who spoke on behalf of 15 uptown churches, and Rabbi Yaakov Y. Kermaier, the spiritual leader of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue Synagogue and President of the New York Board of Rabbis.

WAR ON TERROR

The Jewish Voice
September 28, 2011
WAR ON TERROR Six Charged in UK Terror Plot S ix suspects were in a UK court Monday on a litany of terrorism charges, following a police raid in the city of Birmingham last week. The charges ranged from plotting a suicide bombing campaign and receiving terrorist training, to failure to notify authorities about the supposed plot. The suspects are all between the ages of 26 and 32 and played different roles in a possible suicide bombing campaign. Suspects Irfan Nasser, Irfan Khalid, and Ashik Ali are charged for spearheading the plot. Nasser and Khalid allegedly made a suicide bomber video, travelled to Pakistan for training, collected money for terrorism, and constructed a home-made bomb. Ali, 26, is charged with collecting money, stating his intention to participate in the suicide bombings, and terrorism recruitment. In Pakistan, Nasser and Khalid allegedly learned how to make bombs, in addition to learning about how to produce poisons. Rahin Ahmed is charged with assisting others to travel to Pakistan for terrorism training, as well as for his role in assisting and managing the money for the bombing campaign. Bahader Ali and Mohammed Rizwan are charged with failing to disclose information about the attacks to police, despite knowing about the plot at least since July 29. One other suspect remains under arrest pending the results of his interrogation. Although this is the first arrest in several months, the New York Times reports that Britain remains a fertile ground for terrorism plots. Although MI5, Britain's equivalent to the FBI, remains understaffed, the intelli-
gence organization has broken up a number of deadly plots. These include 2006 plan to detonate liquid explosives on transatlantic
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly declares NYPD Ready to “Shoot Planes Out of the Sky” BY SARA KAYE YPD Commissioner Ray Kelly boldly declared on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that New York possesses “weapons powerful enough to blow a rogue aircraft out of the sky,” according to media reports. Commissioner Kelly, looking grim and focused in his “60 Minutes” interview, answered questions about the department’s state-of-the-art counterterrorism bureau. Located in one of New York’s outer boroughs, buried in an area mostly inhabited by junkyards, the counterterrorism bureau

flights and the 2007 conviction of five Pakistanis for an intended bombing campaign against shopping centers, nightclubs, and synagogues. Report by IPT News, www.investigativeproject.org
NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly stands as a testament to Kelly’s unwavering determination and commitment to fight terror. When interviewer Scott Pelley pressed Kelly for details about the anti-terrorist weapons that are in the bureau, Kelly admitted that the city is packing weapons “on par with some militaries.” “Do you mean to say that the NYPD has the means to take down an aircraft?” Pelley asked Kelly. “Yes. I prefer not to get into details, but obviously, this would be in a very extreme situation,” Kelly replied. The weapon Kelly is referring to, according to the New York Post’s police source, “involves a Barret .50 caliber rifle, which can be mounted on almost any police chopper.” The weapon is currently stored in a safe at the bureau, and is only used in extreme situations, such as when the presi-
dent comes to town. Weapons like these are only available to military and law enforcement agencies, with good reason. One shot from a .50 caliber rifle can stop the engine of a car cold and can penetrate most commercial brick walls and even concrete cinder blocks, according to weapons experts. Though the commissioner wouldn’t elaborate on the arsenal, the New York Daily News and the Post reported Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne as confirming Kelly’s statement of the strength of the arsenal. “NYPD Aviation has weapons that could be deployed with that capability.” During the “60 Minutes” segment, Kelly showed off the bunker that resides in an unmarked brick building in an unremarkable neighborhood. Once inside, the bunker is the essence of high-tech, gleaming and futuristic. New York Magazine went into great detail in their report, describing something out of a James Bond movie. LED news tickers, walls with digital readouts for multiple international cities, including London, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv, are all part of what is called the Global Intelligence Room. With racks of high-end audio equipment, stacks of intelligence reports and a host of superdatabases, the center, which is staffed around the clock, seems “a cut above.” Though the department is relatively young, officials from around the country and overseas come regularly to see it and learn. There are now NYPD officers stationed around the world, working with other law enforcement agencies such as Interpol and Scotland Yard. New York detectives have traveled to Afghanistan, Egypt, Yemen, Pakistan, and the military detention center at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba to conduct interrogations, according to New York Magazine. The NYPD’s revamped intelligence department and this unit are all part of Commissioner Kelly’s vision to “remake the NYPD into a force that can effectively respond to the world’s new realities.” With their impressive new set-up, hand-picked officers and “Hercules Teams,” elite, heavily armed Special Forces-type police units that make daily rounds of the city, the NYPD and its commissioner seem prepared to take on any threat.

U.S. Military: Pakistan Aided Afghan Embassy Attack
DEFENSE NEWS
PAGE 11
Erdogan: Turkey, Iran to Continue Joint Attacks against Kurds in Iraq urkey's prime minister says cross-border military operations will continue against Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq, confirming that Ankara is cooperating with Iran against members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party. Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday that joint military operations with Iran against PKK rebels will no longer be postponed. Both countries already are sharing intelligence.
T
It was not immediately clear if Turkey and Iran are planning a risky ground offensive against the main Kurdish rebel base, located deep in the Qandil Mountains near the Iranian border. The PKK has been waging a war for autonomy in Turkey's southeast from bases in northern Iraq. The Party of Free Life of Kurdistan, a banned PKK offshoot, also uses Qandil as a springboard for attacks on Iranian territory.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Edogan with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. Admiral Mike Mullen Photo by Medill DC The top U.S. military official has accused Pakistan of exporting violent extremism to Afghanistan by using militants as an “arm” of its military spy service. ashington blames Haqqani operatives, with Pakistan’s InterServices Intelligence (ISI) support, of planning and conducting a September 11 truck bomb attack, as well as an assault on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul two days later. In his final congressional testimony before retiring next week, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, told U.S. senators Thursday that Pakistan’s ISS uses the al-Qaeda-linked Haqqani network to act in Afghanistan against Afghan and coalition forces. Adm. Mullen said that by exporting violence, Pakistan has eroded its internal security and position in the region. He also said Pakistan has undermined its international credibility and threatened its economic wellbeing. Speaking alongside Mullen, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Pakistan must take steps to prevent safe havens for the Haqqani network. Late last week, Panetta warned the U.S. would take action to protect its forces in Afghanistan from Pakistanibased militants, but he did not elaborate. U.S. officials maintain that Haqqani militants have been attacking coalition Afghan and coalition troops in Afghanistan and taking shelter in sanctuaries across the border in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region. Pakistan has repeatedly rejected such accusations by the U.S. Pakistan’s Information Minister Firdous Ashaq Awan told VOA News’ Urdu-language Service that Pakistan is working for peace in Afghanistan and that what he called “propaganda” accusing Pakistan of helping militants is meant to

Malik told reporters Wednesday that Pakistan is cooperating with the U.S. in tackling the issue of militancy in the region. But he maintained that the Haqqani network is not in Pakistan. Admiral Mullen also says the U.S. has credible intelligence that the Haqqanis were responsible for a June 28 attack against the Inter-Continental Hotel in the Afghan capital, which is popular among foreigners and government officials.

IDF Engineering Corps Makes Major Technological Advances Engineering Corps equips unmanned bulldozers with autonomous capabilities to carry out special tasks he Israeli Army’s Engineering Corps is completing an extensive project to equip unmanned bulldozers with autonomous capabilities to carry out specialized tasks. In recent years, the corps has made numerous technological advances, including the addition of bulldozers with special protection systems, including missile defense. The corps has also developed advanced systems to safely enter dangerous areas, particularly minefields. "Most of the developments already exist at some stage or another in the corps," said Brigadier General Moshe
T
Sheli, the outgoing head of the Engineering Corps. "Now we are investing in increasing knowledge about the systems with a training day to which regular service and reserve soldiers were invited." Brig. Gen. Sheli revealed that the corps has produced several new bridges that will greatly enhance the capabilities of the corps during war. While some of the new systems have already been incorporated by the corps, the main innovations will be adopted within the next two to three years. "The corps is now a completely different place and I hope that, following the absorption of the new weaponry, it will be even better in the future," said Brig. Gen. Sheli.

anti-Semitic nature of his goals, stating that any Palestinian state will “have no Jews living within its borders.” Abbas referred to the Jewish homeland as the Land of Palestine, the land of the Ascension of Muhammad and the Birthplace of Jesus. It is ironic that in what is clearly an attempt to erase the connection between Jews and their homeland in the public consciousness, he made explicit mention of a Jew born there, albeit one who became the founding figure of a different religion. Abbas made it seem that the PLO was the only legitimate spokesperson for the Palestinian people in all of the West Bank and Gaza, conveniently forgetting that Gaza is controlled by their arch rival, Hamas. Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to Abbas’ assertions by clarifying both the history and the current reality of the Jewish State. In his speech, Netanyahu reminded the audience that 1.5 million Arabs freely live within the Israel and that Israel is a true democracy. He stated that Abbas is bringing us back to that pre-WWII anti-Semitic era of making a country Judenrein, that is, Jew-free. Netanyahu further stated that the Jewish people are living in their historical homeland. The name Jew comes from Judea and “My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin—Binyamin—the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel.” Netanyahu then called the UN a theater of the absurd. He said that “this is an unfortunate part of the U.N. institution ... It doesn't only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gaddafi's Libya chaired the U.N. Commission on Human Rights; Saddam [Hussein]'s Iraq headed the U.N. Committee on Disarmament.” He reminded all that Israel is “singled out for condemnation more often than all the nations of the world combined. Twentyone out of the 27 General Assembly resolutions condemn Israel, the one true democracy in the Middle East.” Sharing something of his own reconnection to Torah learning and spirituality, Netanyahu quoted the Lubavitcher Rebbe. “In 1984, when I was appointed Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, I visited the great rabbi of Lubavitch ... He said to me, ‘you'll be serving in a house of many lies.’ And then he said, remember that even in the darkest place, the light of a single candle can be seen far and wide. Today I hope that the light of truth will shine, if only for a few minutes, in a hall that for too long has been a place of darkness for my country.” Netanyahu than reminded the assembly that the greatest threats to the world are a nuclear Iran and Islamic extremism. He spoke about the small size of Israel and the short distances between Israel and its neighbors and the need for secure borders. He maintained that we have to learn a lesson from Gaza, that giving back land does not guarantee peace, noting the tens of thousands of missiles that are now pointed at Israel from Gaza. Netanyahu’s speech was seemingly less directed to a hostile United Nations and more so to the television audience, and particularly to world Jewry. It appeared to be more of a Rosh Hashanah message than a lecture to the UN. Netanyahu’s delivery was relaxed and he leaned
September 28, 2011 into the podium numerous times and rested his head onto his hand. In an exclusive interview with the Jewish Voice, Elliot Chodoff, an Israeli political and military analyst and well known lecturer specializing in the Middle East conflict and the global war on terror, claimed that Abbas has made a grave tactical error. The traditional methodology of creating a new state, he says, involves declaring the intent of establishing a state and then negotiating its borders. This was the method used by Ben Gurion when he announced the establishment of the state of Israel and afterward went to the UN a number of times before recognition was finally given to Israel. Abbas refuses to negotiate borders and seeks recognition of an amorphous Palestinian state that has no borders and does
Elliot Chodoff an Israeli political and military analyst not have the full partnership of other factions within the alleged territory. Chodoff went on to say that Hamas is a very potent factor that cannot be dismissed. Not only is Hamas not a viable negotiating partner for Israel, but it is not even a viable negotiating partner for the PLO and Abbas. In the creation of the state of Israel, he explains, arch-rivals Ben Gurion and Begin both backed off from a potential civil war that could destroy the fledgling State of Israel, for the good of the future of the State. Abbas will not be able to bring Hamas to the table without a civil war. “They are just not interested, and have stated continuously that they will violently oppose anyone who tries to disarm them.” Finally, Chodoff told the Jewish Voice that he sees the status quo remaining for a long time. Nothing has really changed, and nothing appears to be changing. Unless there is a radical change in the direction and thinking of the PLO, the Palestinians are unlikely to seize upon any opportunities for peace. And as Israeli diplomat Abba Eban (a”h) famously stated: “The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”

Jailhouse Bar Mitzvah Rabbi Charged with $200,000 Fraud; Satmar Yeshivah under Investigation The U.S. District Attorney’s office for Southern New York announced earlier this month the indictment of Rabbi Leib Glanz and his brother Menashe, in connection with a $200,000 housing fraud scheme. The Glanz brothers surrendered themselves voluntarily to the U.S. Attorney’s office on Wednesday morning, September 14

"As alleged in the complaint, Leib and Menashe Glanz engaged in a years-long subterfuge to take criminal advantage of federal housing subsidies,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara told reporters. “Especially in these trying economic times, we cannot tolerate stealing from the public.” Rabbi Glanz gained notoriety back in 2009 when, while serving as a New York City jail chaplain, he helped arrange a lavish Bar Mitzvah celebration for the son of inmate Tuvia Stern (a “Chasidic” financial scammer who had spent some 20 years on the lam before being extradited from the UK) inside the Manhattan Detention Complex’s gymnasium. According to reports, prison authorities allowed a kosher caterer to be brought in for the event, and guests of the party were allowed to hold on to their cell phones (a major faux pas, as far as security is concerned). Also, the glatt kosher repast was served with metal flatware, knives included (an even bigger nono, we should imagine). Glanz denied the allegations, but nonetheless the embarrassing incident led to both his resignation, and that of Peter Curcio, who was Chief of Corrections at the time. Fast forward to present day, and we have the Glanz brothers being put on trial for the egregious misuse of Section 8 benefits (part of a housing program for low-income tenants), to the tune of $200,000. The
Rabbi Leib Glanz Commissioner of New York City’s Department of Investigation, Rose Gill Hearn, is calling it “the largest individual case of tenant fraud” that she and her colleagues have ever investigated. If convicted, Leib and Menashe Glanz could face upwards of 15 years in prison. We wish that were the whole story, but sadly, there’s more. It seems that the United Talmudical Academy, Leib’s landlord during the decade-and-a-half the brothers Glanz allegedly reaped their ill-gotten gains, may also be involved. The New York Post reports that UTA’s records have been subpoenaed. The UTA is the school system of New York’s Satmar Chasidim, and, with an annual budget of $35 million, it operates 17 buildings, in which it serves 8,000 students. Included in that system are (tax-exempt) housing units reserved for students and rabbanim.

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL
Whoever Saves One Life… …saves the world entire. It’s an expression you may have heard if you’ve studied Talmud, or possibly by (l’havdil) watching Schindler’s List. This axiom is the expression of what is arguably one of Judaism’s most beautiful teachings, that of the greatness of the human being. Each individual man, woman and child is created in the image of the Holy One, Blessed be He. Our Sages teach that each person can say “bishvili nivra ha’olam” (for my sake the world was created), and in so doing, he or she is expressing a profound fundamental truth about the universe. ne who saves a single life, it is as if he or she saves the whole world. And one who murders an individual spits in the face of the divine image, and it is as if he or she destroys an entire world. There is one life right now that deserves our attention. His is not in immediate jeopardy, but he sits imprisoned as the result of a gross miscarriage of justice. The individual to whom I am referring is Sholom Rubashkin. The former Agriprocessors exec found himself in hot water over alleged bank fraud and child labor law violations. “So?” you may be asking (assuming you are unfamiliar with the details of the case), “what’s wrong with locking such a man up for 27 years, and exacting $27 million in restitution to boot?” You mean, aside from the fact that at his age, this could amount to a life sentence? And aside from the fact that the judge decided that the persecution, excuse me, prosecution, wasn’t being harsh enough, and decided to tack on an extra two years to the recommended sentence? (I can almost see Judge Reade eyeballing the poor chasid and reading his sentence and adding: “Two extra years, because I don’t like your face!”) And can how about this judge? Rubashkin’s lawyers filed for a new trial when they discovered that Reade was actively involved in the investigation and subsequent raid of the Agriprocessor’s plant in Postville, Iowa. Federal law and U.S. Supreme Court rulings would have required Reade to remove herself from the trial, they argue. Do they really need legal precedent for this? A close friend of mine who happens to be a prominent attorney once explained to me that a reputable judge will remove him or herself from a trial if they know one of the litigants. Even if they are confident in their ability to judge the case impartially, anyone with a legal education knows that the mere appearance of impartiality is basically inseparable from impartiality itself. They scrupulously avoid a situation where they would risk even the appearance of impropriety, even if they were certain none would take place (in Jewish Law, we call this maaris ayin). By the way, their motion for a mistrial was denied by Judge Reade. Are we the only ones who see the problem with this? Truly, the Rubashkin Case has made a thorough mockery of our justice system. And it’s a wrong that begs to be righted. Earlier this month, a federal appeals court refused to grant a new trial for Rubashkin. Apparently the judge’s active involvement with prosecution is not considered sufficient cause to throw out the original case. (And if that isn’t, then what is?) Rubashkin’s appellate team is saying their next step will be to take their client’s case to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, our readers can go to JusticeForSholom.org and read up on the case. They also provide a link to the latest petition on Rubashkin’s behalf on the
O
White House’s webpage. With all that’s going on in New York recently, the anti-Israel rallies, the proIsrael rallies, the UN-sponsored hate speech by heads of state… with all the saber-rattling taking place on a global scale, it’s easy to forget about the individuals. So spare a moment for Sholom Rubashkin. And for Alan Gross, the American contractor who is being imprisoned by Cuba for having the chutzpah to set up internet access for the island nation’s Jewish community. Think of Jonathan Pollard, who, because he spied for a Jewish country, received a sentence harsher than those given to Soviet agents. Let us not forget about Staff Sgt. Gilad Shalit, who, if still alive, remains in terrorist captivity for more than half a decade. These individuals are Am Yisrael. And as we enter a new year, let us call out to our Father in Heaven and pray for their

In order to score with the Arab masses then, President Nasser of Egypt blockaded the Gulf of Aqaba, leading the Arab world into a disastrous war. Today Erdogan is doing just the same. He declared that Turkish Navy ships will accompany “relief ships” that will try to break the Gaza blockade that has just been declared fully legal by a newly released UN report. Last year, in the hopes of gaining the approval of the Arab world, he sent the Mavi Marmara loaded with IHH militants, leading to a disastrous encounter with the Israeli Navy. A man who could put over one hundred generals in prison could easily have stopped this irresponsible act. Now he is asking Israel to apologize for the killing of nine militants. What about his apologies for the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians by his country? He is fighting for the rights of Palestinians to self-determination. What about the rights of millions of Kurds looking for the same independence from his country? He asks Israel to end the

occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. What about correcting the mistakes of his military’s occupation of Northern Cyprus? Erdogan blames Israel for failing to make peace with Syria, which is now well-known to as a cold-blooded, violent regime. He clamors for democracy, when his foreign minister has a close relationship with Syria, a country with an atrocious human rights record. His foreign minister has visited Syria more than 60 times in the last eight years. Prime Minister Erdogan is no champion of democracy. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing who will lead the Middle East to catastrophe in order to achieve popularity with the Muslim world. The easiest way to do this is to bash Israel. Will the Western world finally learn from history and stop him from making the same mistakes Nasser committed in the last century? Sincerely, Sammy Mesrie New York, NY

Is Turkey Going Rogue? BY DANIEL PIPES
n a Middle East wracked by coups d'état and civil insurrections, the Republic of Turkey credibly offers itself as a model thanks to its impressive economic growth, democratic system, political control of the military, and secular order. But, in reality, Turkey may be, along with Iran, the most dangerous state of the region. Count the reasons: Islamists without brakes: When four out of five of the Turkish chiefs of staff abruptly resigned on July 29, 2011, they signaled the effective end of the republic founded in 1923 by Kemal Atatürk. A second republic headed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Islamist colleagues of the AK Party began that day. The military safely under their control, AKP ideologues now enjoy can pursue their ambitions to create an Islamic order. An even worse opposition: Ironically, secular Turks tend to be more anti-Western than the AKP. The two other parties in parliament, the CHP and MHP, condemn the AKP's more enlightened policies, such as its approach to Syria and its stationing a NATO radar system. Looming economic collapse: Turkey faces a credit crunch, one largely ignored in light of crises in Greece and elsewhere. As analyst David Goldman points out, Erdoğan and the AKP took the country on a financial binge: bank credit ballooned while the current account deficit soared, reaching unsustainable levels. The party's patronage machine borrowed massive amounts of short-term debt to finance a consumption bubble that effectively bought it the June 2011 elections. Goldman calls Erdoğan a "Third World strongman" and compares Turkey today with Mexico in 1994 or Argentina in 2000, "where a brief boom financed by short-term foreign capital flows led to currency devaluation and a deep economic slump." Escalating Kurdish problems: Some 1520 percent of Turkey's citizens identify as Kurds, a distinct historical people; although many Kurds are integrated, a separatist revolt against Ankara that began in 1984 has recently reached a new crescendo with a more assertive political leadership and more aggressive guerrilla attacks. Erdoğan, hero of the Arab street: In the tradition of Gamal Abdel Nasser and Saddam Hussein, the Turkish prime minister deploys anti-Zionist rhetoric to make himself an Arab political star. One shudders to think where, thrilled by this adulation, he may end
I
up. Looking for a fight with Israel: After Ankara backed a protest ship to Gaza in May 2010, the Mavi Marmara, whose aggression led Israeli forces to kill eight Turkish citizens plus an ethnic Turk, it has relentlessly exploited this incident to stoke domestic fury against the Jewish state. Erdoğan has called the deaths a casus belli, speaks of a war with Israel "if necessary," and plans to send another ship to Gaza, this time with a Turkish military escort. Stimulating an anti-Turkish faction: Turkish hostility has renewed Israel's historically warm relations with the Kurds and turned around its cool relations with Greece, Cyprus, and even Armenia. Beyond cooperation locally, this grouping will make life difficult for the Turks in Washington. Asserting rights over Mediterranean energy reserves: Companies operating out of Israel discovered potentially immense gas and oil reserves in the Leviathan and other fields located between Israel, Lebanon, and Cyprus. When the government of Cyprus announced its plans to drill, Erdoğan responded with threats to send Turkish "frigates, gunboats and … air force." This dispute, just in its infancy, contains the potential elements of a huge crisis. Already, Moscow has sent submarines in solidarity with Cyprus. Other international problems: Ankara threatens to freeze relations with the European Union in July 2012, when Cyprus assumes the rotating presidency. Turkish forces have seized a Syrian arms ship. Turkish threats to invade northern Iraq have worsened relations with Baghdad. Turkish and Iranian regimes may share an Islamist outlook and an anti-Kurd agenda, with prospering trade relations, but their historic rivalry, contrary governing styles, and competing ambitions have soured relations. While Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu crows that Turkey is ""right at the center of everything," AKP bellicosity has soured his vaunted "zero-problems" with neighbors policy, turning this into a wideranging hostility and even potential military confrontations (with Syria, Cyprus, and Israel). As economic troubles hit, a onceexemplary member of NATO may go further off track; watch for signs of Erdoğan emulating his Venezuelan friend, Hugo Chávez. That's why, along with Iranian nuclear weapons, I see a rogue Turkey as the region's greatest threat.

THE REAL IRAN by Raymond Ibrahim In a globalized world where debate and diplomacy predominate, there is one sure way to discern the sincerity of any particular government: see how it behaves at home, where it is in power; see especially how it treats its minorities. onsider the government of Iran. Gearing up for the Durban III Conference, supposedly against racism, scheduled to take place in New York City this week, Tehran and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad no doubt plan on complaining to the international community about Israel as in former conferences—portraying the Jewish state as "the most cruel and repressive racist regime," a "barbaric" government that engages in "inhuman policies" against the Palestinians. Yet what sort of government runs Iran— that is, how do Ahmadinejad and the mullahs behave on their own turf, where they are in control? One need only look to Iran's daily domestic affairs to get a clear idea of what "barbaric," "cruel," and "inhuman policies" are truly like. In the last few days alone, officials launched a Bible burning campaign, confiscating and destroying some 7,000 Bibles, many publicly burned, even as the mainstream media, which provided round-theclock coverage on Terry Jones—one nonofficial American who destroyed one Koran— ignores the mass Bible bonfires held by a government. Likening its tiny Christian minority to the "Taliban and parasites," the regime is also in the process of "cracking down" on Christians, who make up less than 1% of the entire population. The West's endless supply of apologists—the sort who think it makes them appear "sophisticated" and "enlightened" to be tolerant of anything, so long as it doesn't directly affect them—will likely argue that the Bible is just a book. As for "cracking down" on Christians, "Who knows," these dedicated relativists will probably argue, "maybe Iran's beleaguered Christian minority is just as bad as the Taliban?" Here, then, is an indefensible example of Iran's blatant savagery—proof that it should not cast stones until it joins the concert of civilized nations. According to Compass Direct News: A pastor in Iran found guilty of leaving Islam awaits the outcome of a judicial investigation into his spiritual background to see if he will be executed or, if possible, forced to become a Muslim... The court-ordered investigation will take place sometime this fall to determine whether Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, 34, was a Muslim as a teenager before he became a Christian at 19. Last year the pastor was sentenced by a regional court to death by hanging for "convert[ing] to Christianity" and "encourag[ing] other Muslims to convert to Christianity." After his lawyer argued that he "had never actually been a Muslim and therefore could not be found guilty of abandoning the religion," the court, while continuing to uphold the death penalty, ordered an "investigation."

_____________________ “Ahmadinejad no doubt plans on complaining to the international community about Israel as in former conferences—portraying the Jewish state as ‘the most cruel and repressive racist regime.’” _____________________ Yet the burden of proof is on the victim: he must "prove that from puberty (15 years) to 19 he was not Muslim"—by getting acquaintances, relatives, local elders, and Muslims to vouch for him. However, "if it can be proved that he was a practicing Muslim as an adult and [he] has not repented [i.e. returned to Islam], the execution will be carried out." Moreover, "even if the investigation releases him from the charge of apostasy, it is likely the charge of evangelizing Muslims will still carry a lengthy prison sentence, sources said." In other words, while imprisoning and executing people simply because they want to live according to their conscience—a most basic human right—Iran complains to the world that Israel is "barbaric," "cruel," and "inhuman." But there is no contradiction; both slandering Israel and murdering Christians are perfectly consistent. In each case, Iran seeks the destruction of the "other"—whether Christian or Jew. At home in Iran, where it is in power, it destroys its Christian minority with impunity, in front of the whole world; on the international stage, where it is currently weak, it seeks to destroy Israel by exploiting the West's lofty language and acting "outraged." Worst of all, this affair does not merely expose Iran's hypocrisy; it exposes the United Nation's utopist foolishness. By allowing heads of the most notorious human rights abusing states, such as Iran and genocidal Sudan, to attend conferences that supposedly deal with "racism" and "human rights," the UN actually exposes itself as a facilitator of human rights abuses.

“Try To Remember a Time in September” By: Tzvi Allen Fishman he famed lyrics of the lead song from the long-playing Off Broadway show the Fantasticks, “Try to Remember a Time in September,” have continuously circulated through my head over the last month. A recent trip to Israel and a host of events, interviews and discussions with Israeli leaders has proven to me that nobody has any idea what the next few months have in store for the Jewish community at large and the State of Israel. What is quite clear is that the past month, September 2011, will be remembered as the genesis of a very crucial new period for the Jewish people. In this month alone, the Arab spring has turned into an Israeli winter with Egypt almost completely cutting off relations with Israel and nearly lynching Israeli Embassy personnel in Egypt. Turkey, formerly Israel’s closest Middle East ally, has turned against us with intentions of resurrecting the Ottoman Empire and subjugating Israel. Hamas is lobbing rockets into Ashkelon, Ashdod and Beersheba. Syria is testing our resolve by arranging border incursions into Israel’s northern towns and Hizbullah can’t wait to start sending rockets into Kiryat Shemoneh. In the meantime, Iran is still building its nuclear capability and last but not least, the Palestinians have made application to unilaterally declare a Palestinian State in the UN. It’s been a busy month. In the light of current events, the story of Dr. Marc Arkowitz is all the more remarkable for its spirit of cooperation and humanity. As a Pediatric Surgeon at Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Marc recently saved the life of an Arab child with cancer from a near-
T
by Arab village. The child had a tumor far too large to be removed. Over a period of months, Marc treated the child with a combination of radiation and chemotherapy until the tumor was reduced to an operable size, which he then removed. The hospitals in Israel are full of Arabs who receive equal treatment as Israelis. Marc relates that these are among the many stories “not” seen on CNN, where the focus remains on conflict. During the trip, I had the opportunity to visit some of the incredible new shopping malls that proliferate through Israel. Walking down Jerusalem’s Mamilla Mall, I observed Arab Moslem men and women strolling along holding hands. The women had their hair covered in the traditional Moslem way

apartment where I stay is Palestinian. She became a widow with four small children at 28. She sold towels and sheets in the streets to feed her children until a Jewish family asked if she would clean their apartment. Thirty years later, and the money she makes from cleaning many apartments in Jerusalem has purchased homes for all her children and paid for their education. One daughter has a Masters degree in social work. When I asked her what she thinks about a Palestinian State, she responded, “Why do we need a Palestinian State? You gave the Palestinian Authority Bethlehem 16 years ago and in 16 years we still have no jobs, no hospitals and poor schools. We buy most of our food and goods in Israel, we get our electricity and fuel from you, we use your hospitals and doctors and many of us work for Jews who take very good care of us.” She told me that the majority of Palestinians are very happy to be part of Israel, where the standard of living is relatively high. She explained that she believes it is the greed of the politicians fueling the demand. “The politicians are all thieves who want to put money in their pockets. They could not care less about the Arab population. If they get a state they will just get richer.” During a visit to the Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, I met a soldier named Gal in the Trauma Unit. He was on the second bus that was attacked by terrorists near Eilat. His legs were badly damaged from the shrapnel and bullets, but he still smiled and appeared to be in good spirits. I asked how he was doing, and he responded, “I will be fine, they are teaching me how to walk again, I will be fine.”
Down the hall I met a family of four from Netivot, who were caught in a missile attack in Beersheba. When the siren went off, they stopped their car and looked for a bomb shelter. Not finding one immediately, they took what cover they could near a wall. Another man also stopped his car and they screamed at him to join them under cover. He did not. When the missile hit, it killed him and injured most of the family. The husband, Eliyahu, was only moderately injured but his wife, Chaviva, sustained shrapnel wounds all over her body. Their second daughter, Adel Leah, was critically injured and will have to undergo many surgeries. I asked the parents how they were and they answered, “Baruch Hashem, thank G-d.” They gave me a blessing for the New Year and asked me to please visit them in Netivot and stay with them for a Shabbat. Their dignity and faith in facing difficulty is inspiring. This week is Rosh Hashana. We should all “Try to remember a time in September” and please say prayers for the well-being of the injured soldier Gal ben Smadar, for the injured girl Adel Leah bat Chaviva, and for all the injured soldiers and victims of terror. Please remember Gilad Shalit and all the prisoners of Zion and ask for their release. Finally, let us all ask G-d for a year of health, peace and tranquility for the entire Jewish nation, the land of Israel and the people and government of the United States of America.

Questionable Level of Arsenic in Intel Seen Picking Ireland Chinese-Produced Concentrates Over Israel for Upgrade Chuck Schumer: FDA Needs to Establish Standards Similar to Those for Bottled Water U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer called on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put in place clear standards for imported fruit and vegetable juice concentrates and step up inspection of concentrates from countries that use toxic, inorganic arsenic in their pesticides, or with high levels of environmental contaminants. Schumer pointed out that, although serious questions exist over the methodology used by a daytime talk show last week that covered the subject of arsenic in apple juice, there currently are no FDA standards for toxic, inorganic arsenic in juice concentrates. any juice concentrates are now imported from China, a country infamous for lax standards and the rampant use of toxic additives and chemicals, including inorganic arsenic, in their food supply. Schumer noted that while clear standards for the level of inorganic arsenic allowed in bottled water have been established by the FDA, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) restricts the use of toxic, inorganic arsenic in pesticides used in the United States, the FDA has no standards for inorganic arsenic in juice and vegetable concentrates. Given China’s history and the FDA’s previous work detaining pear juice from China with elevated levels of inorganic arsenic, Schumer noted the FDA needs to implement clearer standards for fruit and vegetable juice. Schumer today called on the FDA to provide clear, concise, science-based standards and provide greater inspection of imported juice concentrates from countries like China that use toxic, inorganic arsenic in their pesticides or have high levels of environmental contaminants in order to protect our children’s health. “Juice is safe and good for you, and the last thing parents should do is stop giving their kids fruit juices. My family drinks them and we will continue to, but the bottom line is that the Food and Drug Administration needs to have clear standards for what is acceptable and what is not, and while standards for toxic, inorganic arsenic currently exist for bottled water, they do not exist for fruit juices,” said Schumer. “Given the terrible track record of countries like China that export the vast majority of certain juices these days, you can never be too careful, and that’s why I’m calling on the FDA to set standards for juices just like they do for water. Many kids drink more juice per day than water, so we need to take every available precaution and make sure standards are in place that consider the long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic.” While the FDA considers organic arsenic to be essentially harmless, inorganic arsenic is a known cancer-causing agent, which is why it is not used as a pesticide for foods in the United States. However, China, known for lax oversight of pesticide use and for having significant environmental contamination, supplies 70% of America’s apple juice concentrate and 60% of America’s pear juice or pear juice concen-

Given the dangers of inorganic arsenic, the FDA has long held stringent standards for the levels arsenic of bottle water: a quantity of 10 parts per billion of inorganic arsenic in a batch of bottled water is considered dangerously high by the FDA. However, the FDA has not set a standard for arsenic in fruit juice. Although the FDA argues that standards for juice concentrates similar to standards in place for water are not necessary because American’s consume far less juice than they do water, Schumer argued that because juice is often consumed by children who may be more vulnerable to chemicals, greater precaution was necessary. In a letter to FDA Administrator Dr. Margaret Hamburg, Schumer called for the FDA to put in place new standards for toxic, inorganic arsenic in fruit juice concentrates. Schumer also called on FDA to increase inspections, testing and analysis of juice concentrates imported from countries such as China that permit the use of toxic, inorganic arsenic in their pesticides, to determine whether elevated levels exist in the U.S. food supply. Schumer pointed out that apple growers in New York and the United States do not use inorganic, arsenic in pesticides and perhaps a better option for juice makers is to use more New York grown apples in their concentrates. American farmers must comply with strict standards put forth by the EPA, USDA and FDA and produce higher quality products. “While there is no cause for alarm and no need to stop drinking juice, a good option for juice makers and families who have concerns is to buy juice made from New York produced apples, which, like apples throughout the United States, do not use pesticides with inorganic arsenic in them.”
By Yuval Azoulai and Shmulik Shelah Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) has picked Ireland over Israel as the site for its next generation fab (the industry term for a semi-conductor fabrication plant). Israel’s Globes Business News is reporting that Intel is leaning towards Ireland for the upgrade of a fab to production of 15nanometer technology wafers, which will replace the current 22-nanometer technology wafers made at the company's Fab 28 in Kiryat Gat. n June, Intel Israel asked the Investment Promotion Center for a $600 million grant to upgrade and expand Fab-28. Intel said that the project would create its most advanced fab in the world, and that the company would invest $4.8 billion of its own money in it. In exchange, Intel promised to hire 1,300 more workers. This was Intel's fourth grant application since the mid-1990s. The previous grant, in 2000, totaled $200 million. Intel has invested $2.7 billion in the Kiryat Gat facility. Intel's grant application was given the cold shoulder by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, because of the frequency of the applications for its fabs. Government sources told "Globes" at the time that the government should review its grants policy, and that if it was prepared lay on the table another a huge grant for Intel, it should open it up to a tender among other multinationals in exchange for investing heavily in Israel. One source said, "Intel has gone as far as it can go at Kiryat Gat, and if the company wants to develop its operations in Israel, it should do so in other locations, such as in the north or in an Arab town." In July, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry made a counteroffer to Intel Israel: in exchange for new investment in Kiryat Gat, it would receive a relatively meager NIS 1 billion grant, of which NIS
I
700 million would be used to set up operations in Beit She'an, and the rest for upgrading Fab 28. The idea of setting up shop in Beit She'an was to create jobs there. Intel Israel thoroughly reviewed the proposal, and general manager Maxine Fassberg and other executives toured the proposed site, including its water and electricity infrastructures and access roads. A senior government source involved in the talks with Intel told "Globes" that the company decided to upgrade its Irish fab instead. "Intel will only officially announce its decision at the end of the year, but we understand from the spirit of the talks that it's going to Ireland." The sources made it clear that, despite Intel's decision to upgrade its Irish fab, the ideal of building an assembly plant in Beit She'an is still on the agenda, and that the Investment Center never linked it with the proposal to expand the Kiryat Gat fab. "On the contrary," said a source, "From what

Alan Dershowitz Addresses StandWithUs Rally at UN
September 28, 2011
Hineni to Hold High Holiday Services, Meals in Manhattan
BY FERN SIDMAN s Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took center stage at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, September 22, over 500 members of StandWithUs, the pro-Israel advocacy organization engaged in some creative street theater, only a few blocks away as they staged their own circus style protest in response to the racism and hypocrisy of the United Nations. Replete with clown masks, colorful wigs, big red plastic noses, noisemakers, signs and flags, the mostly youthful rally participants went on record in protesting the unilateral Palestinian gambit for statehood, the UN sponsored Durban III conference, and the appearance of Ahmadinejad. Pointing to the UN building from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, Roz Rothstein, the CEO of StandWithUs told the rally attendees, “If you want to get some idea of what a circus looks like, just look over there to the UN. What we are witnessing today is an institution that has turned good to bad, right to wrong and justice to injustice.” Referencing Ahmadinejad’s incessant attacks on the veracity of the Holocaust, she said, “Today, the UN is hosting a murderous tyrant who is bent on the genocide of Israel and the Jewish people, very much like the Nazis were during World War II. I come from a family of Holocaust survivors and the Iranian madman is denying the history of my family and countless other families. Every decent person should raise their voices in defiance at the seething racism and antiSemitism that is being supported by the UN.” Introducing Harvard law professor and pro-Israel advocate Alan Dershowitz, Ms. Rothstein said, “Alan is one of my favorite people in the whole world and his message is one that the whole world needs to listen to.” Delivering a rousing address aimed at encouraging the high school and collegeaged supporters of Israel to speak out against the escalating campaign to demonize the Jewish state, Prof. Dershowitz declared, “The UN is a war mongering institution that gives membership to nations that practice apartheid. It has no moral authority when it comes to Israel and the Jewish people. How dare the member states of the UN condemn Israel when it’s the only stable democratic country in the Middle East. How dare Turkey lecture Israel on peace and how dare Norway lecture Israel on equality.” Concerning the Palestinian quest for independent statehood at the UN which is slated to take place on Friday after PA President Mahmoud Abbas concludes his address, Prof. Dershowitz said, “This vote is

BY FERN SIDMAN
ALAN DERSHOWITZ not about resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because such member nations of the UN as Saudi Arabia and Cuba, among others who will cast their vote don’t even recognize Israel’s right to exist. What they are seeking is the end of the Jewish state and not the creation of a Palestinian one.” Offering a vision of what a proposed Palestinian state would be predicated on, Prof. Dershowitz said, “This state would be anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-gay and anti minorities.” Calling for a single global standard of human rights, he held the UN accountable for being a purveyor of racism, anti-Semitism and falsehood. “Why should the Palestinians compromise when the UN gives them everything they want?” he asked. Exhorting his audience to zealously pursue their pro-Israel activism, Prof. Dershowitz declared, “You have to keep up the fight. Never give up hope. Never be disillusioned. Demand peace and equality and challenge this hollow request for Palestinian statehood. Let there be peace, but we must demand a peace based on mutual negotiations. The answer to falsehood is truth and it is your job to keep speaking the truth no matter what.”

NEWS IN REVIEW INTERNATIONAL Iran, Russia Discuss Building New Nuclear Facilities ehran has been negotiating with Russia about building more nuclear power plants, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told Russian media Thursday. Speaking to the Russia Today TV channel, the Iranian president said his country planned to build more plants with the assistance of international experts. He said Iran would accept any proposal of cooperation in this area. Ahmadinejad insisted no scientific achievements should belong to some particular nation or bloc but must be humankind's possession. "Science is one of the most promising spheres of cooperation between peoples and the governments of various countries," he said. Russia built Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, which was launched on Sept. 12. Russia will provide the plant with nuclear fuel and reprocess the used fuel. Some in Israel and throughout the West are concerned that Iran’s ostensibly peaceful nuclear ambitions are merely a front for weapons development. Violently anti-Israel rhetoric combined with advancements in Iran’s warhead research has done little to allay those fears. The International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed growing concern in recent months that Iran’s nuclear program may indeed be for military purposes.

Suspect Arrested in Alleged British Terror Plot ritish police have made another arrest in Birmingham as part of what officials are describing as a major counter-terrorism operation targeting Islamic extremists. West Midlands police said a 20-year-old suspect from the Yardley area was detained Thursday night “on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.” Six men arrested earlier in the week continue to be questioned. A woman who had also been detained was released on bail pending further inquiries. The suspects, all
B
British residents, range in age from 20 to 32 years old. Authorities said that because the plot was in its early stages, they were not yet aware of the targets or what acts of terrorism were being planned.
Cuba Criticizes Longstanding U.S. Embargo uban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez has criticized the longstanding U.S. trade embargo against his country, saying it has cost the communist-led island $975 billion. Rodriguez made the comment Monday during an address before the United Nations General Assembly. Rodriguez, however, said Cuba's government reiterates its willingness and interest to move toward the normalization of relations with the United States. He proposed talks on humanitarian issues as well as cooperation in countering the illegal drug trade, terrorism and human smuggling. U.S. President Barack Obama has said he wants improved relations with Cuba and in 2009, his administration eased travel and money transfer restrictions on CubanAmericans with relatives on the island. President Obama, however, has said the embargo will stay in place until Havana takes steps toward democratic reforms. Separately, the continued detention of a U.S. contractor in Cuba has blocked efforts to improve relations between the two longtime ideological foes. Alan Gross was convicted earlier this year for crimes against the communist state and sentenced to 15 years in prison in Cuba. Gross was arrested in December 2009 for bringing communications equipment into the country. Gross has said he was trying to improve Internet access for the island's small Jewish community and that his actions were not i ntended to be a threat against Cuba's government. The United States and Cuba do not have formal diplomatic relations, but have interests sections that are technically part of the Swiss embassies in each other's capitals.
C
NATIONAL Congressional Accord Avoids U.S. Government Shutdown he U.S. Senate has approved a compromise agreement to temporarily fund government operations and avert
T
Shana tova u’metukah!
a shutdown when the current fiscal year ends on Friday. In a bipartisan vote, the Democratic-controlled Senate Monday evening approved a stopgap spending measure, known as a “continuing resolution,” to keep the government operating through November 18th. The approval was expected after behind-thescenes talks to resolve an impasse over government spending, deficits and taxes. The Senate also approved a short-term continuing resolution to October 4. That measure now goes to the Republican-led House of Representatives. It is not clear when or if that chamber will vote on the Senate measure to keep the government operating past Friday. Last week, the Senate rejected a Housepassed spending bill that would have temporarily funded the government through November 18, but would have required cuts to programs Democrats hold dear. The budget impasse had threatened disaster relief aid for victims of hurricanes and earthquakes. But the Federal Emergency Management Agency earlier in the day announced it had sufficient funds to last until Friday. President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting in California Monday that ideological differences in Congress are preventing the U.S. government from solving its problems. He urged Congress to act responsibly. It is not clear what action the House will take next week. But analysts say the conflict is not likely to improve Congress' approval rating with the American public, which surveys show is at an all-time low of about 12 percent.
Republican Presidential Candidate Perry Suffers Setback he Republican presidential candidate considered the party's front-runner in the race to oppose U.S. President Barack Obama in next year's election has suffered a significant set-back. Texas Governor Rick Perry came in a distant second in Saturday's straw vote in the southern state of Florida. The surprise winner was Herman Cain, a former pizza executive who has been near the bottom in recent public opinion surveys in the crowded Republican field. Cain got 37 percent of the vote to Perry's 15 percent. Former Michigan Governor Mitt Romney was a close third with 14 percent. The Florida non-binding poll is considered a early test of voter sympathies, 14
T
months before the election. Since 1979, every ballot winner there has gone on to become the Republican Party's nominee. President Obama on Sunday took his campaign to the West Coast, where in the states of Washington and California he is seeking campaign contributions from Democratic Party members. On Saturday, the president sought to shore up his support among the nation's black voters by addressing the annual awards dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus. He told the audience, “I need your help.” The votes of African-Americans are considered crucial for Mr. Obama to win a second term in the White House.
NASA Satellite Heading for Earth: Point of Impact Unclear he U.S. space agency says pieces of a decommissioned satellite will crash into the earth in the coming hour. NASA says the risk to public safety from the falling debris is very remote. NASA has further narrowed the window for the re-entry of the bus-sized Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite to just one hour between late Friday and early Saturday Washington time. Most of the satellite is expected to burn up as it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere. It will pass over Canada, Africa and Australia, as well as vast areas of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The satellite is expected to burn brightly enough to be spotted during daylight hours and break apart into 26 pieces. NASA says since the beginning of the Space Age in the late 1950s, there have been no confirmed reports of an injury resulting from re-entering space objects. The space agency also says there is no record of significant property damage resulting from a satellite re-entry. NASA has warned people not to touch any of the debris, which could be scattered along a path more than 800 kilometers long. NASA launched the research satellite in 1991 on a three-year mission to study ozone levels in the atmosphere. NASA took it out of service in 2005. The satellite was placed into a lower orbit to avoid any collision with the International Space Station. The satellite is the largest piece of space debris to fall to the planet since NASA's Skylab space station crashed in western Australia 32 years ago.

NEWS IN REVIEW ISRAEL he Bank of Israel has cut its 2012 GDP growth forecast for Israel to 3.2% from 3.9%. Its revised GDP growth rate for 2011 is 4.7%. The Bank of Israel says that growth will slow because of falling demand and lower exports. The Bank of Israel expects exports to grow by just 1.7% in 2012, due to the global economic slowdown and falling foreign trade, and sees imports growing by just 3% in 2012, far lower than in recent years. The Bank of Israel sees 2.3% inflation over the next 12 months, the middle of the government's target range, and below 3.4% inflation for the past 10 months alone. The Bank of Israel expects the interest rate to be 3% in 12 months time, down from the current level of 3.25%, and lower than its previous prediction of 4% in 2012.

Safe online behavior video from IDF’s information security dept. The IDF’s information security department has released a new training video to soldiers which provides guidelines for safe behavior online so as not to reveal military information to the enemy. The video is part of a campaign the IDF has been conducting in the Israeli media to warn soldiers of the dangers of not being careful when surfing the internet.
The IDF is concerned that Israel’s enemies are using the internet to gather information about Israel and its military. Intelligence sources have noted that Hizbullah terrorists are becoming increasingly computer savvy, using Facebook to learn more about IDF soldiers, potential targets for kidnappings. The IDF is also concerned that soldiers may unwittingly give the enemy information through social networking sites or even arrange to meet an internet companion who is in fact a terrorist. The army recently published strict guidelines regarding the use by IDF officers and soldiers of social networks such as Facebook. Last year, the IDF was forced to cancel an operation in Judea and Samaria, after a soldier wrote a Facebook status that a force from his battalion was expected to arrive in an Arab village to detain terror suspects. At the same time, the IDF Spokesman’s Unit operates a New Media desk whose role is to use websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to the military’s advantage.
Reserve Soldiers Going Home The IDF has begun to dismiss reserve soldiers who were called up on emergency orders last week. The call-up was conducted in order to increase forces in the event of Arab rioting in the wake of the PA statehood bid. Many of the soldiers were stationed in the Binyamin area, and strengthened the IDF presence in Beit El, Kochav Yaakov, Psagot
and Beit El.
Yechimovich Slams Trachtenberg Report New Labor Party head MK Shelly Yechimovich slammed the Trachtenberg Committee report Monday, saying that the report's recommendations were of the same cloth that had brought about the inequalities in Israeli society. Yechimovich said that the recommendations were another form of the Arrangements Law, and would only serve “to deepen capitalistic policy.” Yevhimovich added that “the recommendations are meaningless as long as the framework of the budget is not increased. As long as the budget is not increased it is just a game within the current framework, and will never be implemented.”
Israel's Righteous Gentiles Gather to Celebrate Jewish New Year A group of "rescuers" living in Israel -known to the rest of the world as "righteous gentiles" -- will also gather to celebrate the Jewish New Year, albeit after the holiday, on October 4. The 'Atzum' organization has organized the gathering, an annual event, to enable the rescuers, many of whom are now elderly, to socialize with each other and with their "adoptive Israeli grandchildren" says Atzum founding executive director, Rabbi
Levi Lauer. The NGO, which focuses its efforts on promoting social activism, will hold the gathering at Jerusalem's Nagish Cafe, run entirely by disabled individuals. The restaurant was founded by Esther Greenwald, -herself honored by Yad Vashem as one of Israel's Righteous Among the Nations. “Our group's continued support sends a clear message to the rescuers that their heroism and sacrifice has not gone unnoticed and that they will never be forgotten,” Lauer added. Among those who are invited to the celebration, and who today lives in Israel is Jaroslawa Lewicka (Levitsky). Together with her grandfather Aleksander and her mother Katarzyna, she courageously helped the Jews in Zloczow, Ukraine from 1941 to 1944. Lewicka acted as a young courier and helped supply food and medicine to Jews until the town's Jewish community was liquidated in 1943. Among the handful of survivors were two Jewish girls whom Lewicka and her family helped shelter and care for until July 1944, when the area was liberated. Her family also cared for a group of 25 Jews hiding in a nearby basement, two kilometers away, despite the clear risk to themselves.

aniella Rabbani, actress, singer, and voiceover artist, has recently announced on her website, www.daniellarabbani.com, that she will be performing in her first full-length musical, titled Rachel and Leah: A New Musical. Co-written by Ms. Rabbani and Rebecca Keren, the musical was composed by 5 time Tony nominee Elizabeth Swados. Rachel and Leah will be produced in concert version this November. Drama Desk nominated producer Moishe Rosenfeld (Broadway: Those Were the Days, Off Broadway: The Golden Land) will present the piece at The Axelrod Center for the Performing Arts in Daniella Rabbani NJ on November 12th and The Metropolitan Room on November 20th. For more information, visit www.RachelandLeahtheMusical.com. Ms. Rabbani will be playing Rachel, one of the two Biblical matriarchs who are the subject of the musical. According to the synopsis in the press notes, in ancient Iraq, Lavan’s inseparable twin daughters are two sides of the same coin: Leah, the reclusive and introverted caretaker and Rachel, the adventurous shepherdess. Their relationship collapses when Jacob comes to work for their father. Both girls fall for the eligible bachelor, yet he only wants one to be his wife. After he is forced to marry both women, Rachel and Leah wage a desperate

Israeli film ‘Footnote’ to represent Israel at the Oscars irector Joseph Cedar is proud of his new film, ‘Footnote,’ a drama that, according to the Forward, “combines the worlds of academia and Talmudic study.” Israel’s equivalent of the Oscars, the Ophirs, awarded the film top honors, which automatically made it Israel’s submission in the foreign-language category at the Academy Awards. While nominations won’t be announced until January, “Footnote” can already be considered a front-runner. It was nominated for a Palme

Israeli film ‘Footnote’ d’Or and took home the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes film festival. Director Cedar also wrote the script. Should it be nominated, it will be his second time around-he was previously nominated in
JEWCY NEWS
2008 for ‘Beaufort.’ ‘Footnote’ is a definite contrast to the usual Israeli Oscar submissions as it does not concentrate on ArabJewish tensions. Instead, it offers a different angle on Israeli society, exploring the insular worlds of Talmud study by telling the story of two scholars, father and son, who are rivals in Jerusalem. Should it win an Oscar, it will show that there is more to Israeli filmmaking and culture than conflicts between Arabs and Jews.
After Drama With Wiesel, 'Madoff' Opens on Stage hat might Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Laureate who was one of the more prominent people bilked by Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, have to say to the man who scammed him? This is the subject of the play “Imagining Madoff,” a striking work by the Yale U n iv e r s i t y professor and playwright Deb Margolin. It opened in a re-contoured version directed by “Imagining Madoff” Alexandra Aron at Washington D.C.’s Theater J on August 31. The play ran from August 31-September 25. It raises questions about Jewishness, human dignity, and above all, morality. Its original version prompted threats on the part of Mr. Wiesel, according to the Forward, who reported that upon hearing about the play in a leaked report by The Washington Post, Wiesel sent a letter saying, in effect, “I have read your defamatory play. I will consult with my lawyer, and I will have my lawyer shut it down.” In response, Theater J’s artistic director proposed rewrites that would, hopefully, satisfy Mr. Wiesel and still leave them with a workable script. Margolin agreed to the rewrite, replacing the Wiesel character with that of Solomon Galkin, a completely different personality. Galkin replaces Wiesel as Madoff’s foil, represent-

ing morality, dignity, and “Jewishness,” having come out of the hell of European Jewry’s destruction and still embracing the ethics of the Torah. 89-year-old actor Michael Nussbaum appears in the role. Along the way the play was withdrawn from Theater J and the newly crafted version opened at Stageworks/Hudson, in Hudson, N.Y. The play enjoyed glowing reviews. It has now returned to Theater J, of which Margolin says, “It was important for ‘Imagining Madoff’ to return to Theater J; its return signaled to the world that the play is free and clear, and it came home.” Wiesel’s reasoning for denouncing the play may have been, according to an anonymous historian quoted by the Forward, that he wishes to be remembered for his accomplishments abroad, as a moral voice against genocide and for his work in Rwanda, and not for being bilked in a scam.who has for many years been the public voice of human rights and of freedom of speech, the question remains: What lay behind his sensitivity about the play? Speculations abound. One historian, who spoke on condition of anonymity, asked: “This is how Elie wants to be remembered, forever? Elie wants to be remembered as a moral voice against genocide, for going to Rwanda — not for being bilked in a scam.”
Israeli actress breaks world record he Guinness Book of World Records committee recently declared veteran Israeli actress Hanna Meron as the thespian with the world's longest career in theater. Meron, who is best known for her comic roles, is fondly called 'the first lady of Israeli theater.' She has won numerous honors and awards during her long career, and was reported to be "amused and flattered" by the latest title. Meron was born in Germany and immigrated with her family to pre-state Israel in 1933. In 1970, she was

seriously wounded when Palestinian terrorists hijacked her El-Al flight, and had to amputate her leg. She resumed her acting career a year later. The Israel Prize laureate began acting at the age of four. Now, at the age of 87, she can be found on stage at the Cameri Theater in the play, The Baggage Packer.

and services will take place, ChabadLubavitch rabbinical students are being dispatched to Dominica, Grenada, Grand Cayman Island, Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas to lead services and oversee all meals planned for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Most of the small Jewish population in Grenada and Dominica comprises students studying at the islands’ medical and veterinary schools. According to Rabbi Mendel Zarchi, director of Chabad of Puerto Rico and Chabad of the Caribbean, rabbinical visits ensure that these students remain connected to a Jewish infrastructure. “It’s a privilege and an obligation to respond to the calling,” Zarchi said of those

Wolf & Lamb Steakhouse Redefines “Kosher Deliâ€? For the Better By Daniel and Penina Perez Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan (just steps away from Rockefeller Center), Wolf & Lamb presents itself as a deli and steakhouse. But calling Wolf & Lamb a deli/steakhouse is like referring to the Smithsonian as a “museum.â€? In other words, yes, it’s technically accurate; it just fails to adequately capture the enormity of the experience of going there. ntering the restaurant, we were impressed by the dĂŠcor, perhaps best described as sophisticated urban casual. With exposed brick walls and a high ceiling, fans and visible ventilation ducts gave it the feel of a high-end residential loft. The black and white photos of happy customers made the restaurant feel more relaxed and down to earth than one might expect at a high-end eatery. For our first course, we ordered chicken tenders wrapped in pastrami, and for contrast, a little tuna tartare. The former was doused in a delightfully piquant and tangy barbecue sauce (made in-house, of course). It dazzles the tongue without overpowering, though the spiciness does linger for a bit. The latter, served with fresh veggies and a horseradish-based sauce, was just the opposite: cool and refreshing. It was like sashimi, re-imagined with more of a Continental sensibility. As a general rule, I don’t go looking for fish in a steakhouse, but if you wind up here on a business meeting, and you’re not too keen on red meat, this may be
E
just the thing for you. To wash it down, we had bottle of hefeweizen (wheat beer); “Weihenstephaner,� I think it was called, but don’t quote me, or ask me to pronounce it. In any case, we noticed that the Wolf & Lamb does not have a liquor/cocktail menu. They make up for it with an excellent selection of beer and wine (all the more impressive for those of us familiar with the dismal lack of variety that plagues the kosher dining scene). Of course, if you’re ordering a steak and want anything other than a pint of ale, or a good hearty red to drink with it, odds are there’s something lacking with the steak. That was not the case here. Between the appetizer and the main event, we tried the W&L Signature Salad. Cool, crisp vegetables, succulent marinated chicken, all tossed in a delicate vinaigrette. Penina describes the salad as “light and summery,� the kind of thing you’d like to have at an afternoon picnic. What we really noticed, though, were the chickpeas. We’ve
tried them boiled, we’ve had them blended into hummous, we’ve eaten them dry-roasted, like peanuts. Here, they were fried, acting as little round croutons—delicious, and at the risk of sounding childish, kind of fun to eat. Okay, enough with the vegetables. Since you’re reading this review of the Wolf & Lamb, you’re waiting for one thing: meat. For the main course, I ordered the aged ribeye (medium rare) and a glass of Merlot, both recommended by the waiter. Penina had the rack of lamb (medium). The Wolf & Lamb’s 28 day dry aged ribeye is kosher in two ways: First, it is under the hashgacha of the OK, which certifies the meat as glatt kosher (Chassidishe shechita, no less). But in a more esoteric sense, for us at least, the ribeye offers proof of the existence of a benevolent and loving G-d. We encourage the reader to go and see for themselves (not as a test of faith, mind you, but as a test of how flavorful, how perfect a steak can be). Upon taking our first bite two of our five senses immediately shut down. I was either struck temporarily deaf and blind by the sheer magnitude of the steak’s aroma and flavor, or the rest of the universe simply faded away in its presence. Either explanation strikes Penina and me as equally feasible. For those unfamiliar with the dry aging process used for high-end steaks (I have to confess, this was our first), allow us (with a little help from Wikipedia) to fill you in. Dry-aged beef is beef that has been hung to dry for several weeks—about a month, in
the case of the W&L ribeye. After shechita, the meat is cleaned, and parts are placed in a cooler (also known, rather counter- intuitively, as a “hot box�). This process involves considerable expense, as the beef must be stored near freezing temperatures. Also, only the higher grades of meat can be dry aged, as the process requires meat with a large, evenly distributed fat content. For these reasons one seldom sees dry-aged beef outside of steak restaurants and upscale butcher shops. This process has two main effects. One is that natural enzymes contained within the meat break down connective tissue. The result: A softer, more tender steak. The other (and this is our favorite) is that moisture is evaporated from the meat, leading to a greater concentration of the beef’s natural flavor. In other words, it’s the kind of steak that, when you cut into it, isn’t dripping with juices, but rather the taste of the steak, the essential “steakiness,� if you will, is

SCHUMER CALLS ON ONSTAR TO IMMEDIATELY STOP TRACKING FORMER CUSTOMERS; CALLS ON FTC TO INVESTIGATE .S. Senator Charles E. Schumer called on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last Sunday to launch an investigation into OnStar’s new policy of tracking drivers with installed GPS tracking technology—even after customers have cancelled services and called on the company to voluntarily cease the practice. Schumer’s call comes on the heels of OnStar’s announcement this past Monday that it was changing its policy so that drivers who had cancelled their subscription-based service would still have their location and speed automatically tracked and would have to opt-out of the program to stop it. In their the same announcement, OnStar’s also said it was reserving the company’s right to sell driver data collected on current and former customers’ information to third parties. Today, in a letter to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, Schumer called on the FTC to launch an investigation into whether OnStar is engaging in an unfair trade practice. He also sent a letter to OnStar Executive Director Linda Marshall calling on the company to revisit the policy change and commit to not tracking former customers and refrain from selling data collected on driver behavior. “By tracking drivers even after they’ve cancelled their service, OnStar is attempting one of the most brazen invasions of privacy in recent memory,” said Schumer. “I urge OnStar to abandon this policy and for FTC to immediately launch a full investigation to determine whether the company’s actions constitute an unfair trade practice.” Six million American drivers across the country currently use OnStar. Through the use of GPS technology and a two-way connection between the car and the company,
U
OnStar is able to track drivers’ locations and give them alternative driving directions, emergency response in the case of an accident, and a host of other services. Most new GM vehicles come standard with OnStar and drivers are often given 3 months of service free when they purchase a car installed with the service. Until last week, OnStar’s policy was to cancel the two-way connection between the company and the car when a customer ended their service. Under OnStar’s newly announced policy change, the company will continue to track customers even if they have discontinued their service, keeping the two-way connection between the company and the vehicles active, allowing OnStar to keep a complete record of driver activity of all OnStarequipped vehicles. OnStar has said that it will retain connectivity to the vehicle unless the consumer specifically and explicitly requests that the connectivity be terminated. Simple termination of the service contract will no longer suffice to end the tracking. OnStar also announced that it now reserves the right to sell data collected on the driving habits of former and current customers to other companies and organizations, including a driver’s location, speed, odometer reading, seat-belt use and air-bag deployment. Schumer noted these policy changes put consumers at risk for having sensitive personal data collected and shared without their knowledge. Although OnStar claims that it will anonymize any consumer data before selling it, hackers have made it abundantly clear how even anonymized, aggregated data can be matched up to identify individual users. Numerous examples exist where hackers have been able to infiltrate so-called
anonymous aggregated data and link it to individuals and according to a New York Times report, cybersecurity company iSec Partners, has also shown how wireless connections to automobiles can be compromised to identify speed, location, and in some cases break into a vehicle. Schumer said that OnStar’s new policy represented a brazen, almost unheard-of invasion of the privacy of potentially millions of drivers, and in a letter to the company, called for the policy to be immediately halted in order to protect drivers’ privacy. Also, in a letter to the FTC, Schumer called for an investigation into whether OnStar’s new policy constituted an unfair trade practice under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Early Tuesday morning GM announced its decision to reverse OnStar’s policy. Bowing to public pressure, OnStar President Linda Marshall said in a press release, “We realize that our proposed amendments did not satisfy our subscribers. This is why we are leaving the decision in our customers' hands. We listened, we responded and we hope to maintain the trust of our more than 6 million customers.” Schumer issued the following statement in response: “OnStar's decision is the right one and sets a good precedent for the future. This announcement puts decisions about personal privacy back where they belong, in the hands of individuals... I applaud their responsiveness to our concerns.”

PALESTINIAN CHILDREN Maimonides Among the RECEIVE CANCER Nation’s Top-Ten Hospitals for TREATMENT IN ISRAEL Heart Diseases
In the current political climate, with the Durban III Conference continuing its tradition of equating Zionism with racism, and Arab leaders reaffirming their dreams of a Judenrein Palestine, it’s easy to assume that there’s some truth to the hype, and that Israel systematically discriminates against Palestinian Arabs in all areas of life, from economic affairs to medical care. But in fact, thousands of Palestinians receive medical treatment in Israel on a yearly basis.
September 21, 2011 – The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the federal government, recently published the latest data on 30day mortality rates for hospitals across the country. As in all previous reports, Maimonides Medical Center achieved better-than-expected results in all three categories that are measured: Heart Attack, Heart Failure and Pneumonia.
sraeli officials such as Dalia Bassa, Civil Administration health coordinator, work to ensure that patients with serious illnesses receive comprehensive treatment and care. Efforts to improve the emotional wellbeing of these patients involve taking children undergoing cancer treatment and their families out for day trips outside of the hospital. • There are currently 180 pediatric cancer patients from Judea and Samaria in Hadassah Hospital, of which 50 have received bone-marrow transplants. • This weekend, a group of Palestinian children receiving cancer treatment at Hadassah Hospital and their families visited the Ramat Gan Safari, Jaffa beachfront and Holon bowling alley. • The trip was made possible thanks to a coordinated effort by the Israeli Civil Administration, the Israel Cancer Association and volunteers from the ‘Encouragment From Ido’ charity for pediatric cancer patients in Jerusalem.
everal hundred hospitals in the nation achieved better-than-expected mortality rates in one or two of the CMS categories – but only 20 hospitals in the nation have exceptional rates in all three categories. A further look at the data shows that, for Maimonides, the news this year is even better: when compared to rates at the nearly 5,000 hospitals in America, Maimonides was 9th lowest for Heart Failure; 8th lowest for Heart Attack; and had the single lowest 30-day mortality rate in the country for patients being treated for Pneumonia. “This is terrific news for our patients,” said Pamela Brier, President and Chief Executive Officer at Maimonides. “And it’s gratifying for our doctors and nurses to see that their relentless efforts are having a real impact on the quality of patient care.” Maimonides is a recognized leader in implementing medical and information technology to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes. This hi-tech approach goes hand-in-hand with attention to funda-

mental practices like hand-washing – and has allowed Maimonides to improve its patient outcomes for the last decade. “We rely heavily on evidence-based medicine,” explained Dr. Edgar Lichstein, Chair of Medicine at Maimonides. “Our patients tend to be older and sicker than average, so we combine best practices in an environment that also encourages constant innovation in the delivery of care.” The Medical Center has been commended for outstanding services by a number of other independent rating organizations. Earlier this year, Maimonides Medical Center was named a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence by HealthGrades; the American Stroke Association bestowed its Gold Plus Achievement Award on the hospital; and the American Hospital Association once again named it a Most Wired hospital.

Michel Schwartz, Famed Hebrew Jewish Museum Welcomes Calligrapher Passes Away New Diector Claudia Gould CLAUDIA GOULD HAS BEEN NAMED THE INSTITUTION’S NEW HELEN GOLDSMITH MENSCHEL DIRECTOR
BY DOVID ZAKLIKOWSKI aster of Hebrew calligraphy Michel Schwartz, who was cherished for his big heart as much as for his creative art, passed away at the age of 85. His work adorned the walls and tables of Israeli presidents and prime ministers, but for Schwartz, whose biggest projects included illustrating promotional and educational materials on behalf of the educational arm of Chabad-Lubavitch, the greatest honor was to ignite another Jew’s interest in Judaism. “He was a warm, wonderful farbrente yid,” said Anti-Defamation League director Abraham Foxman, using a Yiddish expression to characterize Schwartz’s fiery love for Judaism. “He understood the beauty of Judaism and was able to express [it] through his art.” Born in Catskill, N.Y., in 1926, Schwartz’s artistic talent was recognized early on. At the age of 13, he enrolled in the New York School of Art and Design alongside his studies at the Chabad-Lubavitch school in Brooklyn. It was at the yeshiva that Schwartz was commissioned to compose his first work of art for Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, Chabad-Lubavitch’s educational arm, in 1941. The newly-arrived son-in-law of the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe (A”H) looked to Schwartz to work on new initiatives and Jewish educational art. As the Sixth Rebbe’s appointed director of the educational arm, the future Rebbe’s responsibilities included publishing a monthly magazine of Jewish content in both Yiddish and English. His work with Schwartz left an indelible impression on the young artist, whose respect for Lubavitch teachings was expressed in his art throughout his career. The future Rebbe and Schwartz collaborated on a comic feature that appeared in each magazine, which the
Ms. Gould was previously Daniel W. Dietrich, II Director of the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She assumed her post at The Jewish Museum in fall 2011, succeeding Joan Rosenbaum. Ms. Rosenbaum retired from The Jewish Museum at the end of August 2011 upon concluding a 30-year tenure during which she transformed the institution into an international arts destination and positioned it for future growth and success.

[Schwartz] “made the Hebrew letters live. The words to him were very precious.” __________________________ Rebbe envisioned as one way to reach young American Jewish kids. At one point, he told Schwartz that “it should look like Ripley,” referring to the work of cartoonist and entrepreneur Robert Ripley, while on another occasion, he said that the feature should have the look of the Dick Tracy series. Schwartz would later illustrate books and comic newsletters for the Jewish Release Time program in which public school children in New York would spend an hour learning about Judaism off of their school grounds. Once he graduated from art school, Schwartz became a well-known graphic designer, working for such marquee names as Coca-Cola, Ford Motors, Johnson & Johnson, and Avon. In a 1970 feature, Fortune magazine called the artist “a visionary of unobstructed and unparalleled foresight.” After retiring from his commercial advertising company, Schwartz continued to design art and logos for several ChabadLubavitch organizations. Inspired by working with Hebrew letters, he devoted much more of his time to Jewish art. He created his own, unique alphabet of Hebrew letters which he coined Calli-Graphic Judaica. He used modern, colorful letters to depict writings from Jewish texts in an artistically con-
Michael Schwartz temporary way, never seen before or since. Responding to his art, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin extolled the virtues of the Hebrew letters in his correspondence with Schwartz. “The letters of our alphabet,” Begin wrote, “molded generations of our people. What sacrifices even the poorest among us made so that their children should learn the alphabet and achieve distinction in their education!” Schwartz used his art as a medium for transmitting Jewish traditions at the express request of the Rebbe, who wrote to him in a letter: “You should have growing [success] in utilizing your talents in the fullest measure, not only as a source of ample [livelihood], but also as a vehicle to promote” Judaism, Jewish teachings and Jewish observance. Schwartz embraced the concept wholeheartedly. His repertoire spanned the gamut of media, and he created out of his unique Hebrew letters not just paintings, but sculptures, jewelry and Jewish ritual items. “The letters were not the traditional letters. [They had] almost a flowery aspect to them,” said Joseph Fisch, a retired judge and former inspector general of New York, who commissioned Schwartz to create several ritual items, including a prayer shawl. “It was beautiful because of the shape he used. They look like flowery design, but only when you look closely, do you realize that they are words.” One of the last works Schwartz worked on at the request of the Rebbe was a painting of what the world would look like when the redeemer known as the Moshiach would arrive. The piece, hanging today in the Jewish Children’s Museum in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, took him three years. He used some 300,000 letters to depict the scene. “He made the Hebrew letters live,” said Foxman. “The words to him were very precious.” Those who knew Schwartz noted that the beauty found in his art was also a key feature of his personality. “He was an extremely good-hearted person,” said Rabbi Shalom Ber Baumgarten of the Jewish Children’s Museum, headquarters of the international Chabad-Lubavitch organization for youth Tzivos Hashem. “He would give his shirt for anybody who needed it.” Schwartz considered his work on behalf of Tzivos Hashem, creating the organization’s classic logo, to be among his top accomplishments. “The Tzivos Hashem emblem,” he wrote, “is the single most reproduced Jewish organizational symbol in history. Estimates run into the hundreds of millions over the years. “When I consider the strides and accomplishments of this organization, my heart swells with pride, and I feel honored that I
or more than a century, The Jewish Museum has illuminated the Jewish experience and demonstrated the power of art and Jewish culture through critically acclaimed exhibitions, related education programs, and a renowned collection of 26,000 objects that is among the three largest of its kind in the world and distinguished by its breadth and quality. Inspiring people of all religious and cultural backgrounds, the Museum is poised to enter a new phase and reach an ever broader and more diverse audience. Claudia Gould will lead The Jewish Museum into this next phase. In her decades as a museum and arts professional, she has been noted for her commitment to outstanding original programming and an expansive interdisciplinary approach to exhibitions, education, and public outreach. Under her guidance, the ICA in Philadelphia tripled its exhibitions and staff, doubled its attendance, and is nearing the completion of a successful

"I'm particularly excited to join an institution whose mission is to serve as a dynamic, accessible, and truly inclusive center of activity where visitors, artists, curators, writers, and educators all have equal access to superb permanent collections and exhibitions, and an invitation to explore with us the compelling questions of Jewish identity.” Established in 1904 when Judge Mayer Sulzberger donated 26 ceremonial objects to The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) as the core of a museum collection, The Jewish Museum today is devoted to preserving Jewish artistic heritage and advancing discussion concerning Jewish culture, ideas, and values in relation to the arts. Arnold Eisen, Chancellor of JTS, commented, "We value our strong relationship with the Museum and its mission to explore art and Jewish culture through an unparalleled collection and a dynamic, interdisciplinary program. My JTS colleagues and I look forward to working with Claudia Gould and her curatorial staff as they continue the Museum's proud tradition while exploring new directions and reaching new audiences." Joshua Nash, outgoing Board Chairman, continuing Trustee, and co-chairman of the Museum’s search committee for the new Director, commented, "Joan Rosenbaum has served The Jewish Museum longer than any previous Director and has shaped the institution more than any other individual. We are profoundly grateful for her vision, skill, and dedication, and look forward with great enthusiasm to embarking upon a new phase in our history with Claudia Gould."

Parshat Ha’azinu (Shabbat Shuvah)
Repression of the Sublime BY RABBI TZVI HERSH WEINREB It was advertised as one symposium at a major psychology conference. It was to be a discussion about memory and forgetfulness. But it turned out to be one of the most intense and instructive days that I have ever witnessed. he first speaker began by insisting that the fact that we remember things is obvious. What requires explanation, he argued, is why we forget. We are hardwired to recall every event that occurs in our lives. The mechanisms of forgetfulness are a mystery and call for a program of scientific research. The second speaker took a position diametrically opposed to the first. He believed that it is only natural that we forget. It is one of nature's wonders, he maintained, that we remember anything at all. The third speaker took a middle of the road position. For him, the major challenge to the science of the psychology of memory was not why we remember, or why we forget. Rather, it was why we remember certain things and forget others. And why we distort even those matters which we do remember, so that our memories are grossly inaccurate and unreliable. It is the position of this third speaker that has kept my interest over the many years since that conference. And it was just recently, as we commemorated the tragic events of September 11, 2001, that my interest in this subject was revived. Very many of my acquaintances were on or near the scene of the collapsed World _______________________________
T
“We have long been familiar with the idea that we repress urges and memories that are uncomfortable or unpleasant. We repress memories of tragedy; we repress impulses which are shameful, or forbidden.” _______________________________
Trade Center Towers on that fateful day. To this day, some have clear recollections of every moment of their experiences. Others claim that they only remember certain vivid episodes, fleeting ones, and can only draw a blank when it comes to the majority of the time they were exposed to the tragic scene. Some have memories which are as accurate and as clear as the "flashbulb memories" that psychologists have studied as far back as World War II. For others, the memories have been partially, and sometimes substantially, repressed and can no longer be recalled. Their powerful and poignant emotional reactions have wrought havoc with the ability to accurately remember the events of that day. Remembering and forgetting are major themes in our Jewish religious tradition. We are commanded, for example, to remember the Sabbath, to remember the lessons to be drawn from the life of Miriam, and not to forget the enmity of Amalek. In this week's Torah portion, Parshat Ha'azinu, there are at least two verses which relate to these themes. One reads, "Remember the days of yore, understand the years of generation after generation." (Deuteronomy 32:7) and the other states, "You ignored the Rock who gave birth to you, and forgot God who brought you forth." (Ibid. 32:18) I have always been intrigued by the notion of forgetting God. Earlier in the book of Deuteronomy, we were admonished to be careful, lest "our hearts become haughty, and we forget the Lord our God." (Deuteronomy
8:14) I can understand agnostic disbelief, and I can empathize with those who have lost their faith, but I have always found it puzzling to contemplate forgetting God. Either one believes, or one does not believe, but how are we to understand forgetting Him? Many years ago, I came across the writings of a psychologist named Robert Desoille, and it was in those writings that I've discovered a concept that helped me come to grips with the notion of forgetting God. Desoille coined the phrase "the repression of the sublime." He argued that we have long been familiar with the idea that we repress urges and memories that are uncomfortable or unpleasant. We repress memories of tragedy; we repress impulses which are shameful, or forbidden. It can even be argued that this power of repression is a beneficial one to individuals and society. If individuals would not be able to forget tragedy and loss, they could potentially be forever emotionally paralyzed and unable to move on with their lives. A society whose members act on every hostile impulse rather than repressing them would be a society which could not endure for very long. It was Desoille's insight that just as we repress negative memories, we also repress positive aspirations. We are afraid to excel. There is a pernicious aspect to us that fears superiority and avoids the full expression of our potential. This is especially true in the area of religion and spirituality, where we dare not express the full force of our faith and, in the process, limit our altruistic tendencies. Perhaps it is the dread of coming too close to the divine. Perhaps it is a false humility that prevents us from asserting our inner spirit. Or perhaps it is simply that we do not wish to appear "holier than thou" to our fellows. However one understands the reasons for this phenomenon, for me, the concept of "repression of the sublime" explains the notion of forgetting God. It is as if we have faith in Him, do not have sufficient faith in ourselves to express our faith in him in our relationships and life circumstances. We repress our sublime potential. This week, we do not only read the Torah portion of Ha'azinu. We also read, as the Haftarah, the words of the prophet (Hosea 14:2--10) which begin, "Shuva Yisrael... Return O Israel to the Lord your God for you have stumbled through your iniquity. Take words with you and return to God..." After all, it is the Sabbath between Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. What better theme for the day than the theme of shuva, of return? There are many impediments to thorough personal change and self-improvement. Desoille demands that we consider an impediment that never before occurred to us: we are afraid to actualize the inner spiritual potential that we all possess. We are naturally complacent, satisfied with a limited expression of our religious urges. We repress the sublime within us. As we approach the High Holidays and its truly sublime liturgy, it behooves us to allow our spiritual emotions full range. We must dare to express the religious feelings which well up within us during the moments of inspiration that we all will surely experience during this sacred season. Now is the season during which our faith demands that we loosen the bonds of the repression which limits us, take the risks of more fully expressing our religious convictions, and thereby no longer be guilty of "forgetting the God who brought us forth." May we be successful in our efforts to free the sublime within us, to act courageously upon our religious convictions, and thereby merit the blessings of the Almighty for a happy and sweet new year.

Summary of Haftarah:
Haftarot for Rosh Hashanah Day 1: I Samuel 1:1–2:10 The haftarah for the first day of Rosh Hashanah describes the birth of the prophet Samuel to Elkanah and his wife Chanah, who had been childless for many years. This echoes the story discussed in the day’s Torah reading, about Sarah giving birth to Isaac after many years of childlessness. During one of her annual pilgrimages to Shiloh, the site of the Tabernacle, Chanah tearfully and quietly entreated G d to bless her with a son, promising to dedicate him to His service. Eli the high priest saw her whispering, and berated her, thinking that she was a drunkard. After hearing Chanah’s explanation, that she had been whispering in prayer, Eli blessed her that G d should grant her request. Chana conceived and gave birth to a son whom she called Shmuel (Samuel). Once the child was weaned, she brought him to Shiloh and entrusted him to the care of Eli. The haftarah ends with Chanah’s prayer, wherein she thanks G d for granting her wish, extols His greatness, exhorts the people not to be haughty or arrogant, and prophesies regarding the Messianic redemption.
Day 2: Jeremiah 31:1–20 The haftarah for the second day of Rosh Hashanah talks about G d’s everlasting love for His people, and the future ingathering of their exiles. In the last verse of this hauntingly beautiful haftarah, G d says, “Is Ephraim [i.e., the Children of Israel] not My beloved son? Is he not a precious child, that whenever I speak of him I recall him even more?” This follows one of the primary themes of the Rosh Hashanah prayers, our attempt to induce G d to remember us in a positive light on this Day of Judgment. Jeremiah begins by affirming G d’s love for the Jewish people. “With everlasting love I have loved you; therefore I have drawn lovingkindness over you.” Because of this love, G d assures His nation that they have a very bright future awaiting them. “I will yet build you up, then you shall be built forever, O virgin of Israel; you will yet adorn yourself with your tambourines, and go forth in joyous dance.” Jeremiah then describes the ingathering of the exiles, when all of Israel will be returned to the Holy Land: “You will again plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria . . . Behold, I will bring [Israel] from the land of the north, and gather them from the ends of the earth . . . a large assembly will return here. Weeping with joy they will come, and with compassion I will lead them . . . I will turn their mourning into joy, and will console them and gladden them after their sorrow.” Jeremiah then describes the heavenly scene, where the silence is broken by the sound of bitter weeping. Our Matriarch Rachel refuses to be consoled, for her children have been exiled. G d responds: “Still your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears . . . There is hope for your future; the children shall return to their border.” HAFTARAH SUMMARIES COURTESY OF CHABAD.ORG.
HILCHOT TESHUVA:
Teshuva vs. Chutzpah BY RABBI YOSEF BITTON The rabbis considered “shame” (busha) as one of the three phylogenetic components of the Jewish moral makeup. Together with the practice of benevolence (gemilut chasadim) and compassion (rachmanut). They went as far as to say that whoever does not possess the trait of shame, could be presumed that his ancestors did not stand at Mt. Sinai (a euphemism, to say that he might not be ethnically Jewish). esides seeing shame as a natural Jewish trait—in complete contradiction with the alleged Jewish “chuptza”—the rabbis explain that “shame” is a prerequisite for a perfect Teshuva (repentance, lit. “return”)
B
Maimonides writes, "When a man or a woman commits a sin... they shall confess their sin which they have done... by saying, ‘O L-rd, I have sinned, transgressed and rebelled before You, and have done suchand-such, and I am ashamed by my actions
and will never do it again.’ ” The rabbis of the Talmud especially praised the feeling of shame during the process of Teshuva. Why? Because, unlike guilt, which is a more private feeling, “shame” consists of the uncomfortable sensation of facing our own flaws in front of others. The main impediment to follow G-d's will is that G-d is invisible. It is extremely challenging to realize His constant presence. Therefore, we are not easily ashamed of doing something wrong in front of Him. Conversely, if we are capable of feeling embarrassed while confessing our transgressions to G-d, it means that we have achieved a very high level of Emunah: the state of awareness of G-d's presence. A sincere Teshuva occurs when we mentally position ourselves in front of G-d, and we feel ashamed, as if we were confessing our misdeeds in front of another person.

Carbon Disclosure Project Lauds Con Edison Fifth Year in a Row Company Ranks 1st Among S&P 500 Utilities
Consolidated Edison Inc. (Con Edison) has earned recognition from the international Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for five years running for the company’s carbon emission reduction and carbon disclosure efforts. n the newly released 2011 rankings, Con Edison placed first among utilities in the S&P 500 Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index. And the company was the only utility listed in the S&P 500 Carbon Performance Leadership Index. The CDP, representing 551 institutional investors who manage $71 trillion in assets, has again commended the New York-based utility’s holding company for the way it discloses climate change information. “Companies that make the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index have demonstrated good internal data management practices for understanding greenhouse gas emissions,” said Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of the Carbon Disclosure Project. Con Edison has been featured in the organization’s Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index since the index was established. A key component of CDP’s annual S&P 500 report, the index highlights companies that demonstrate the most professional corporate governance approach regarding revelation of climate change information. Companies are scored on their climate change disclosure practices. High scores indicate excellent internal data management and a clear understanding of climate change issues affecting the company.
I
“Aggressive carbon disclosure and emission reduction policies serve the best interests of every global citizen,” said Randolph S. Price, Con Edison vice president of Environment, Health, and Safety. “We are gratified by the Carbon Disclosure Project’s work and by the continuing recognition.” The index, compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers on behalf of the CDP, provides an evaluation tool for institutional investors and other stakeholders. In 2011, it comprises 55 companies from the S&P 500 Index. The list is based on an analysis of CDP questionnaire responses, focusing on greenhouse gas emissions, emissions reduction targets, as well as risks and opportunities associated with climate change. The S&P 500 report, including names of companies featured in the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index, can be found at www.cdproject.net.

BRIGHTEN UP UNDERUTILIZED SPACE IN YOUR HOME oorly lit attics and bonus rooms tend to be underutilized areas in many homes. But with additional natural light and fresh air from venting skylights or roof windows, gloomy spaces can easily become more inviting and productive. "Whether as a playroom, home office, or extra bedroom, finishing or remodeling your bonus room with venting skylights, or with roof windows, which open wider to provide egress, could be the highest value, yet lowest cost per square foot option you can choose," says Ross Vandermark, who heads national product management for VELUX America. Vandermark says that converting upstairs areas and adding more natural light with energy-efficient skylights makes expensive dormers unnecessary. "Labor and material costs can be reduced," he says, "and finished attics and bonus rooms typically appraise at 100 percent of the value of other living space while basements typically do not." Denver-based Architect Doug Walter, AIA, observes that many property owners dismiss the idea of a conversion on the grounds that the space available seems too small. "In their search for suitable areas, particularly for children," Walter says, "they should reconsider. Children don't require large areas with soaring ceilings. On the contrary, the sloping ceilings of small attics and the little hideaways they make are particularly appealing to youngsters." Walter says that a light, bright area is a must for a child's room. "Skylights bring the sun into an attic space under the sloping roof without it losing its appealing tent-like shape," he says, "and many a childish dream can come true under the sloping roof without the need for large amounts of space and without too great an outlay." Vandermark says that skylights admit 30 percent more light than vertical windows in dormers, and provide the drama of a sky view that can't be achieved with vertical windows. "And ENERGY STAR qualified sky-
P
lights, whether fixed or venting, can be fitted with blinds and shades and are highly energy efficient in addition to offering much more privacy than vertical windows," he says. Vandermark adds that modern skylights make one of the biggest concerns of homeowners—the fear of leaks—a thing of the past. "Quality units offer matched, pre-engineered flashing kits for shingles, tile or metal roofing materials," he says. "They are designed and engineered to prevent leaks over the full life of a roof and, properly installed, simply don't leak." In fact, Vandermark's company has introduced a new ENERGY STAR@ qualified product line, marketing it as the No Leak Skylight. "These units offer many new energy saving features plus three layers of water protection and are fully warranted," he says. "They also carry an industry-first ten-year installation warranty in addition to product coverage." Vandermark says that the growing availability of trained and certified skylight installation specialists also adds to the dependability of modern skylights. And he points out that today's skylights contribute to energy efficiency with light and heat control as much as with ventilation by offering easily installed accessories to adjust and control light, as do vertical windows. "Venetian blinds are available to adjust light, as are roller blinds to diffuse light and blackout blinds to block light," he says," and the accessories, as well as the units themselves, can be operated by remote control." Solar blinds are also available that qualify for a 30 percent federal tax credit. For skylight selection or installation information visit veluxusa.com.

PAGE 38 Ten Anti-Israel Activists Convicted .. CONTINUED FROM PAGE closing arguments to argue that the police and university had a conspiracy of their own. The charges were a politically motivated attack on the students' pro-Palestinian message, argued attorney Lisa Holder. This included creating unique rules for a political speech which would silence the protesters, as well as an organized plan to arrest any opposition to the event. Defense Attorney Jacqueline Goodman compared the protest to birth, saying that although it was "messy" it created something

beautiful. Calling the defendants heroes, she likened their exercise of free speech to Martin Luther King and other proponents of free speech. "Rude is not unlawful, peaceful protest is not unlawful," she claimed. Other defense arguments focused on the technical aspects of the case. Defense attorneys disputed the times of disruptions as presented by the prosecution, arguing that organized MSU noisemaking should not be included in the disruption count. They also disputed holding the students responsible for
audience reactions to their actions and the ambassador's decision to temporarily leave the stage. Ultimately, the trial has the potential to set strong limits on anti-Israel activism on American university campuses. "The conviction means that anti-Israel activists will think twice before trying to take over and disrupt Jewish events," stated Rabbi David Eliezrie, President of the Rabbinic Council of Orange County, who attended the ambassador's speech. "Free speech means respecting all
opinions. The recognition of the rights of the ambassador is a victory not just for proIsrael voices on campus but also for all Americans. Rowdy hooligans can't push around people acting according to the law." Report by IPT News, www.investigativeproject.org.
Wolf & Lamb Steakhouse Redefines “Kosher Deli” For the Better CONTINUED FROM PAGE 40 amplified to levels that will make your tastebuds do a happy little dance. Also, I ordered the 12 oz. “medium” steak, but that size probably indicates the weight post-aging. In other words, it was essentially a pound of steak in a condensed package. The lamb was also quite impressive. Not as life-altering as the steak, but to be fair, that’s a pretty tough act to follow. We also found it to be a little salty, perhaps to counteract the natural gaminess of the meat, but
certainly worth ordering again. Our heads still spinning from the crescendo of flavor that reached its peak with the steak and lamb, we ordered desserts – a chocolate soufflé and an apple bread pudding, which turned out to be the perfect end for a perfect meal. I couldn’t recommend one over the other (Penina recommends the chocolate), as it’s really a matter of personal preference. The desserts offerings at Wolf & Lamb are, simply put, the
finest possibly examples of those dishes, made all the more amazing for their (nearly) undetectable absence of dairy products. The meal we had at Wolf & Lamb was so good we insisted on meeting the chef, just so we could shake his hand. It turns out the chef, Daniel Espinoza, perfected his craft in the mid-1990’s at Manhattan’s Brasserie Les Halles (a “brasserie” is the French word for an unpretentious restaurant specializing in simple, hearty dishes; a term that ironically
strikes us as needlessly pretentious), which is the culinary home base of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. For those of you who have an itch that your neighborhood deli can’t scratch, we heartily recommend the Wolf & Lamb Steakhouse. With the choicest meats, butchered on site, it’s a kosher carnivore’s dream come true.
Jailhouse Bar Mitzvah Rabbi... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 According to reports, Leib Glanz received Section 8 vouchers in the name of his brother Menashe, which he then used to pay the rent. The brothers both worked for UTA at one point, but no longer do. Despite this, older brother Leib continued to reside in his faculty apartment in Williamsburg, paying with the aforementioned vouchers,
which, in theory at least, are very carefully regulated, coming with strict income caps. Sources indicate that this initial subpoena could lead to a broader investigation of UTA and its housing practices. If that happens, there’s no telling how far it could spread.
[A note from the editor: As we enter the High Holiday season, with its Days of Awe, Judgment, and Atonement, now is as good a time as any to reflect on our ways, both on an individual and a communal/organizational level. If any of Brooklyn’s vaunted yeshivot have any skeletons in their closets, one can only hope that the Glanz case will serve as a
wake-up call, and that these schools’ administrators will clean house, minimizing or preventing any further chillul Hashem (desecration of G-d’s name), before it winds up on the front page of the Post.]

Faith Restored...CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 No one was even looking at their cell phones. We sat in this massive courtroom in fear and awe awaiting the judge’s entrance,” our source said. After waiting for roughly half an hour, U.S. District Judge Joel A. Pisano entered the courtroom. He greeted Rabbi Nahum and the community members who had come to show their support, and recounted the details of Nahum’s case. Judge Pisano then went on to admonish the observers, in a way that felt less like a federal court case and more like a pre-Rosh Hashanah mussar schmooze. Addressing the people seated in the back of the courtroom, he asked, “Do you think I don’t know what goes on in every charitable organization? Do you think I don’t know the games that every organization tries to play?” “It is incumbent upon you, the community laymen,” the judge said, “to make sure your charities and organizations are being run by competent and honest individuals.” Pisano then proceeded to explain that he is the judge responsible for hearing most of the Solomon Dwek cases, but that Rabbi
Nahum’s case is “different” than the fortysomething others. “What differentiates this man sitting here today from the rest of the cases is that this man did not seek any personal benefit. He did not take one dollar for himself,” said Pisano. He noted that the evidence for this included tapes with Dwek himself noting how Rabbi Nahum refused to take any kickbacks. Dwek then commented derisively on what he perceived as the rabbi’s lack of intelligence, since he would not take any money for himself. “He went on to explain to us how our rabbi is a very learned man,” our source explains. “And he believes that the rabbi is only sitting in the courtroom today because he was looking to help the son of a fellow rabbi in desperate need. You taught Solomon [Dwek] his bar mitzvah reading! You believed that he needed help.” “This man is not the rabbi of the congregation because you people appointed him,” declared Pisano. “He is the rabbi of your congregation because he earned it. This man sat in a room for over 30 years, learning the
Talmud and performing acts of kindness and charity for widows, orphans, and all those in need. And that’s why he is in the position that he is today, as your rabbi. But there were some laws that were broken in trying to help out Mr. Dwek and that is why you have been suffering for the past 2 years through this case.” He then reiterated that Rabbi Nahum should not be placed in the same category as many of the other litigants involved in the scandal. After addressing Nahum’s supporters for 15 minutes, he turned his attention to the rabbi himself. “According to this book,” he said, holding up a book of (secular) law, “I am supposed to give you anywhere between 8 and 14 months of time. However, after understanding your case in full detail, I am going to use my discretion, and I am not going to give you any jail time.” “There is no need for someone like you to serve any time” he added. The judge noted that he had received numerous letters attesting to the rabbi’s character. “Everyone who comes to this court-
room sends in these character letters,” he explained. “And do you know what they usually mean to me? Not much. But in your case, it meant a lot. Because I know what kind of a person you are—you’re selfless, you’re caring, and you are a leader. I took the time and read every letter in detail and they did make a difference. He then told the rabbi that he was not to be caught with any firearms or drugs for the next twelve months, and declared the case closed. He also authorized the passports be returned to the Rabbi. The community leaders all stood, in silence, tears of joy rolling down their cheeks. According to one of those present for the sentencing, “We lined up single file, to each kiss the rabbi’s hand, and stood there, speechless, until he left the courtroom. We felt a big Kiddush Hashem has taken place here today: the fact that our Rabbi was proven not to take a single dollar and was brought up on charges for trying to help a fellow in need.”

Jewish War Hero Regales Touro Students
with Tales of Bravery and Sacrifice
etired US Air Corps Captain Leonard Gold was invited as a special guest to Professor Roberto Soto's Public Speaking class at Touro College last week. The 92-year-old widower, who enjoys driving his sports car and flying vintage airplanes, had every one of the speech students at Lander College for Men at the edge of their seats. A native New Yorker, Captain Gold is a proud father and a prouder grandfather. He told the class his story of growing up during the great depression, joining the military and ultimately becoming a family man and successful business owner. Lenny Gold was born in Brooklyn, NY on July 21, 1919. When he was nine years old, he would sometimes sneak into local neighborhood junk yards and steal hub caps, which he would then re-sell back to the same yards. Eventually Lenny got busted for stealing. His dad called him a gangster and decided to move the entire family to the Bronx, which, according to his dad, was the appropriate place to raise a gangster. Lenny told the students that he quickly lost interest in stealing hubcaps and developed a passion for airplanes and ultimately flying. As soon as he was old enough, he enlisted as an aviation cadet. Lenny was sent to California and Arizona for rigorous training and eventually specialized in aerial gunnery. Though the elimination rate was extremely high, Lenny was determined to make that cut. Once he completed training, Lt. Gold requested overseas combat duty where he flew P51s and P38s, both single and twin engine airplanes. He says he preferred flying twin engines, as they made him feel

After being promoted for flying multiple combat missions and shooting down his share of enemy planes, Gold's next military assignment was with the 33rd photo recognizance. Instead of shooting with guns, he shot aerial photos and sent them to be analyzed for P-47 Squadrons to eventually target. He enjoyed a remarkable record flying deep into Nazi enemy territory and emerging unharmed. Gold says although he had close calls with death, he was very lucky until March of 1945. Captain Gold, by then a decorated pilot, says he spotted a large group walking, and immediately reported it to the 9th Air Force command in Paris, France. The group was subsequently targeted and most were killed. Later he was told that they were identified as prisoners of war. Gold says he became extremely upset and lost interest in flying additional missions. Some months later he was discharged. After leaving the army, Lenny got married and tried to find a job as a commercial pilot. When he did, he was repeatedly told they were not hiring Jews, so he landed a job as first a carpenter, then a foreman. Lenny worked his way up until he became the owner of a construction company, build-

He now owns a large construction company based on the west coast. Nowadays, Lenny lives alone on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in a lovely high rise with a million dollar view of the East River. Now in his nineties, Mr. Gold likes to stay active, regularly playing tennis with friends. Capt. Gold also volunteers his time working at New York City’s Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum Complex. It is a dynamic, interactive and educational journey for all ages. The museum’s mission is to honor our nation's heroes, educate the public and inspire our young people. As a retired US army air-corps captain who piloted over one hundred missions, Captain Gold believes it very important to
honor those who served in World War II while they are still around. The world is marking the 66th year since the end of the war, and fewer than 2 million of the 16 million men and women who served are still alive. They are dying at a rate of 30,000 per month. The importance of remembering the sacrifices and acts of heroism representative of their service can never be overstated. No duty is more sacred in America than that of our men and women who bravely serve in the military. There is no question that our nation needs to collectively salute all the members of our greatest generation, the veterans of World War II. They sacrificed their lives with valor and extreme courage to keep the world safe. We owe them a high degree of gratitude.
Capt. Gold during his time in the United States Air Corps.

Yad Sarah Tourist Services Assists Duggar Family Special Needs Daughter When traveling in Israel, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s youngest child was in need of special equipment. Famous for their Arkansas-based family of 19 children (10 boys and 9 girls), they were assisted by Yad Sarah in a big way! fter hiking in northern Israel and touring Jerusalem, the family was preparing to return home when their special needs daughter, 21-month-old Josie, became ill and needed oxygen. Like everyone in Israel, their guide, Aviv, knew exactly where to go. Aviv brought the family to Yad Sarah House in Jerusalem and they immediately were supplied with a small oxygen tank and accessories. Known as the largest volunteer-staffed organization in Israel, Yad Sarah’s Lending Service stocks a full range of medical and home care equipment. Through its active Lending Service, the organization’s volunteers lend over 150 different kinds of equipment from its 100+ branches; services are also available to visitors. Yad Sarah has rescued virtually thousands of tourists with their personalized service, even meeting people at the airport with an accessible van, providing accessible transportation to special events, or equipping a tourist’s hotel room with adaptive equipment to make their stay more comfortable. People in Israel as well as tourists borrow everything from canes and walkers to oxygen tanks, wheelchairs and apnea monitors. “It was so fast. He immediately set out with an oxygen tank," said Michelle Duggar of the volunteer staffing the Lending desk. She remained in Israel with her 20-year-old

A camera crew followed them during their visit to Yad Sarah, presumably to air on the family’s hit reality television show, 19 Kids and Counting, broadcast on TLC. The family was given a tour of the facilities and watched the introductory film at the Visitor’s Center. “Michelle admired the organization and activities! They took pictures of the loan process, and of course Yad Sarah’s programs,” said Adele Goldberg, Executive Director of Friends of Yad Sarah. "Yad Sarah, what an amazing organization! You were a lot of help when we were in Israel!" said Michelle Duggar.

BRINGING TENNIS TO ISRAELI-ARAB NEIGHBORHOODS Philanthropic tennis enthusiast Freddie Krivine found a way to serve the ball into an Arabic-speaking court
Ebraheem Fhmawi, 19, took part in the Freddie Krivine Foundation's Tenacity program in Boston for young Arab coaches. "In some cases, the parents are very BY KARIN KLOOSTERMAN Anywhere in the world, marginalized populations have less access to good education, advanced music programs and sports facilities. This is no less true in Israel, where one-fifth of the population is made up of Israeli-Arab Muslims and Christians. or multiple reasons, some not anyone's fault, this minority gets fewer opportunities in sports, which could lead to higher achievements in other areas and improved track records in school, relationships and future community building. An avid supporter of Israeli tennis, philanthropist Freddie Krivine came from the United Kingdom with his wife to live in Israel in 1984. Since the early 1970s, he'd been supporting the Israel Tennis Centers and women's tennis, and eventually became president of the Israel Tennis Association. But at an event of 600 players in the late 1990s, he was surprised to see only four were from the Arab sector. So Krivine decided to embark upon a new project for young Arabs throughout Israel.
F
Carrying on Her Father’s Legacy Although Krivine passed away in 2005 at age 84, his daughter Jane took over with some encouragement from the board of her dad's philanthropy, the Freddie Krivine Foundation. The first priority was building locally, Jane Krivine says. "My father saw it as extremely important to create facilities in their own communities so [Arab] children can come and play on their own time. It's better than piling 25 children into a bus and moving them into a center," she says. Since 1998, her dad's foundation has subsidized tennis lessons for about 6,000 young Israeli Arabs, some of whom have gone on to be coaches when the Jewish Israelis go into mandatory military service. The Freddie Krivine Foundation has built and surfaced more than a dozen tennis courts in cities like Nazareth, so young Arabs don't have to get in a bus and travel miles to play their sport. It also runs specialized coexistence programs in Caesarea, Israel and in Boston, Massachusetts. Besides creating and maintaining courts, the foundation highly subsidizes tennis lessons in Arab communities, setting fees on par with what people would pay locally for other sports. Charging a fee encourages commitment from the parents and the children, Jane Krivine says.
proactive in the sports interests of their child, but in the [less privileged] communities, where the parents have more children, maybe they don't have cars and they may not be able to taken them to the lessons. And the costs and cost of transport is something they can't afford." The foundation also trains coaches, encouraging older teens when they are 18 to enroll for a coaching certificate from the Wingate Institute for Physical Education and Sport near Netanya, and it gives special support to star players.
A Lesson for the Giver The foundation's success stories include Ruan Zubidate from Bizmat Tivon, a Bedouin who is the top female Arab tennis player in Israel. She travels to tennis matches around the world representing Israel. Now in its second year, the foundation's Tenacity program brings young Arab coaches to Boston for the summer, where they learn English and teach tennis to vulnerable populations of teens in the United States. One of those who participated was Ebraheem Fhmawi, a 19-year-old from Faradis, near Haifa, who dreams of studying chemical engineering. Fhmawi was among the first to join the Krivine Foundation's coexistence program in Caesarea, where Jewish kids from the wellto-do coastal city are matched with Arab kids from Jisr el Zarka. Arab and Jewish kids have little contact and rarely get to know each other, Krivine says. But at first she was skeptical about this program of her father's, questioning the efficacy of busing kids to Caesarea for coaching lessons starting at age eight. The whole project "was a costly venture for us," she says. "This program in Caesarea is with wellheeled families from a fancy place. We whittled it down to about 10 children who were meeting there about four or five times a week, coming in from Jisr el Zarka. The fruits of her father's labor came not long ago, when the kids had reached 18 and Krivine asked them about their future. Four of them were going on to medical school, and one wanted to be a veterinarian. "All were doing something really worthwhile. They knew that they could do it," she reports. And tennis, invariably, was at the center of their success. The program provided a place where they learned that Arabs, too, could easily reach for the stars–and catch them–if only they were shown how. ISRAEL21C.ORG
