Google and Israel Museum Collaborate on Historic Project Using ultra hi-res imagery and Google technology, Google and the Israel Museum created an interactive web archive that will enable users worldwide to explore the oldest known biblical manuscript as never before. hough the Dead Sea Scrolls are wellknown historical artifacts, until now no one but scholars and historians who made the trip to the Israel Museum’s Shrine of the Book had access to the information they contain. Some are only fragments, and while remarkably well-preserved, all are marked with the passage of time. Thanks to efforts by Google and Israel Museum, that has changed.

The Dead Sea Scrolls contain the oldest known biblical manuscripts in the world, and are considered by some to be the archeological find of the 20th century. Sealed in jars for over 2,000 years, they were discovered by happy accident between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves on the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea. According to the Israel Museum, the manuscripts are generally attributed to an isolated Jewish sect, referred to in the scrolls as “the Community,” who fled Jerusalem and settled in Qumran in the Judean desert on the banks of the Dead Sea. They shed light on the development of the Hebrew Bible and other religious texts while providing insight into daily life in ancient Israel.

ccording to the report, Vice President Joe Biden met last week with 15 rabbis in Boca Raton, Florida, when he was asked by one of them why Pollard, who was convicted in 1986, was still in prison. In response to the question Biden said, “President Obama was considering clemency, but I told him, ‘Over my dead body are we going to let him out before his time.’” He added, “If it were up to me, he would stay in jail for life.” Jonathan Pollard was found guilty of spying on the United States on behalf of Israel and sentenced to life in prison. Similar cases of spying for a friendly nation usually yield sentences of less than five years, but U.S. authorities have refused to release Pollard. Many observers believe Pollard is being singled out for harsh and cruel treat-

UN Announces Lineup for Upcoming Elections Elections will be held this month for five rotating seats on the United Nations Security Council. Membership of the Council is obviously important for Israel. The Council currently has on its agenda the pending Palestinian application for full membership of the U.N. – although it is not clear if and when this matter might come to a vote. he UNSC has 15 members: five permanent members with veto power— the United States, Russia, China, the

United Kingdom and France—and 10 countries serving two-year terms. Five members circulate on and off the Council each year. The new member will serve on the Council from January 1, 2012 until December 31, 2013. Resolutions in the Security Council require nine affirmative votes and no vetoes to pass. Retiring from the Council at the end of this year will be Bosnia, Brazil, Gabon, Lebanon and Nigeria. Elections for vacant seats take place

according to a complicated geographic and political formula. All 193 member states of the U.N. can vote and a country needs to secure the support of two-thirds of the members present and voting at the General Assembly session to be elected. According to the Security Council’s own website, this is the lineup for this month’s elections: (note, this can change right up to the last moment). • Guatemala is currently unopposed for one seat. • Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan are vying

for a second seat. • Slovenia, Hungary and Azerbaijan are contesting a third seat. • Mauritania, Morocco and Togo are contesting the fourth and fifth seats. The implications for Israel and for a possible vote on Palestinian membership are unclear. In the current Council, Lebanon and Brazil were reliable votes for the Palestinians and against Israel. Each of the other three was classified as undecided.

U.S. Diplomat Confirms Direct Talks with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood American officials have met with members of Egypt's long-banned Muslim Brotherhood, an unnamed senior U.S. diplomat told Reuters. he official did not specify when the meetings took place, but noted that there has been no formal distinction between members of the Brotherhood or its affiliated political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), whose formation was first announced in February. "We have had direct contacts with senior officials of the Freedom and Justice party,"

the American diplomat said, adding that the administration does not "have a policy that makes a distinction [between the Brotherhood and the FJP], that one or the other is off limits." The latest talks involved "high-level" party members, the official said, in contrast to earlier contacts, which were mostly with Brotherhood-affiliated parliamentarians running as "independents." It's pointless to try making distinction between the Brotherhood and its political arm: the senior leaders of the FJP were plucked directly from the Brotherhood's

Executive Bureau after the FJP was formed, and the Brotherhood has shown time and time again that one cannot be a Muslim Brother without supporting the FJP and its political line. This weekend's acknowledgment runs counter to earlier claims by senior Brotherhood leaders that the group had not met with American officials after the widely publicized June announcement that the United States would resume a policy of limited contacts with the Islamist group. "It was not immediately clear why the two sides gave different accounts," Reuters

noted. "From our perspective it is important to be in touch with all of the emerging political forces here in Egypt, across the board, that are peaceful and committed to non-violence," the diplomat answered when asked why the United States is engaging with the long-banned party that has already begun to set its sights on an Islamic state in Egypt.

Syria Accused of Threatening Protestors Overseas Syrian protesters in Europe and the Americas have been systematically monitored and harassed by embassy officials and others believed to be acting on behalf of the Syrian regime, Amnesty International announced Tuesday in a new briefing paper. he paper, entitled “The Long Reach of the Mukhabaraat” includes cases of more than 30 activists in eight countries—Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the United States—who say that they have faced intimidation from embassy officials and others and that their relatives in Syria have as a

result, in some cases, apparently been exposed to harassment, detention and even torture. “Expatriate Syrians have been trying, through peaceful protest, to highlight abuses that we consider amount to crimes against humanity - and that presents

a threat to the Syrian regime,” said Neil Sammonds, Amnesty International's Syria researcher. "In response the regime appears to have waged a systematic - sometimes violent - campaign to intimidate Syrians overseas into silence.” "This is yet more evidence that the Syrian government will not tolerate legitimate dissent and is prepared to go to great lengths to muzzle those who challenge it publicly.” In many cases, the organization found that protesters outside Syrian embassies were initially filmed or photographed by officials then subjected to harassment of various kinds, including phone calls, emails

and Facebook messages warning them to stop. Some activists say they were directly threatened by embassy officials. Naima Darwish, who set up a Facebook page to call for protests outside the Syrian embassy in Santiago, Chile, was contacted directly by a senior official who asked to meet her in person. "He told me that I should not to do such things,” she told Amnesty International. “He said I would lose the right to return to Syria if I continued." A number of Syrians found that their families back home were targeted by security forces, apparently to deter them from their

Illegal Mosque Next to Jewish Holy Graveyard ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION OF A MOSQUE CONTINUES JUST FEET FROM ANCIENT JERUSALEM GRAVEYARD Illegal construction continues at a Jerusalem mosque immediately adjacent to an ancient and holy Jewish graveyard, Jerusalem activists have reported. Workers continue to expand the mosque on the Mount of Olives despite official orders ruling that they must stop.

Also brought in were Arab laborers from Judea and Samaria, who lacked work permits, King said. “We are facing a nightmare that will all but deny Jews access to graves on the holiest and oldest Jewish cemetery in the world,” said Avrohom Lubinsky of the Committee for the Preservation of the Mount of Olives. He accused city officials of failing to enforce stop work orders. Jeff Daube, head of the Israel office of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), termed the ongoing problem “an outrage.” “We are so concerned about the legal status of three buildings in Migron and will make every effort to tear those down, and in the meantime the Arabs are permitted to continue to build illegally with impunity right next to what, outside the Maarat Hamachpelah [Tomb of the Patriarchs – ed.], is the holiest graveyard in Jewish history,” he told Arutz Sheva.

Dead Sea Scrolls Go Digital... CONTINUED FROM COVER In a welcome response to criticism that the scrolls were only available for study to a select group of people, the Israel Museum has and will continue to work with Google on digitizing them for a worldwide audience. The Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Project was just launched, located at dss.collections.imj.org.il. This digital archive allows users to examine and explore these ancient manuscripts from the Second Temple period at a level of detail never before possible. Developed in partnership with Google, the new website gives users access to searchable, fast-loading, high-resolution images of the scrolls, as well as short explanatory videos and background information on the texts and their history. “We are privileged to house in the Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book the best preserved and most complete Dead Sea Scrolls ever discovered,” said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. "They are of paramount importance among the touchstones of monotheistic world heritage, and they represent unique highlights of our Museum's encyclopedic holdings. Now, through our partnership with Google, we are able to bring these treasures to the broadest possible public." Users can navigate the scrolls on their screens, and, in the case of the Great Isaiah Scroll, even view translations in pop-up text boxes. The Great Isaiah Scroll may also be

searched by column, chapter, and verse, and is accompanied by an English translation tool and by an option for users to submit translations of verses in their own languages. All five scrolls can be magnified so that users may examine texts in exacting detail. According to Google Blog, one can almost feel the age of the fragile parchment “simply by zooming in and seeing the fine flecks of material missing from their edges, and the crusted lines of their surfaces.” Details invisible to the naked eye are made visible through ultra-high resolution digital photography by photographer Ardon Bar-Hama– at up to 1,200 mega pixels each, these images are almost two hundred times higher in resolution than those produced by a standard camera. At this point, only five scrolls are available online. The project is set to complete in 2016, by which time the museum hopes to have nearly all its scrolls up on the site. For now, the five that have been digitized are: the Great Isaiah Scroll, inscribed with the Book of Isaiah and dating from ca. 125 BCE, which is the only complete ancient copy of any biblical book in existence; the War Scroll, which dates to the late first century BCE or early first century CE and describes a confrontation between the “Sons of Light” and the “Sons of Darkness”; the Temple Scroll, from the early first century CE, which claims to provide the details of G-d’s instructions for the construction and operation of the Temple in Jerusalem. Written on animal skin

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

only one-tenth of a millimeter thick, the Temple Scroll is the thinnest parchment scroll ever found among the Dead Sea Scrolls; the Community Rule, which sheds light on the Community’s way of life, dealing with subjects such as the admission of new members, conduct at communal meals, prayer, cleansing rituals, and theological doctrines; Finally, the Commentary on Habakkuk interprets the first two chapters of the biblical book of the prophet Habakkuk in a unique style that makes it a key source of knowledge of the spiritual life of the secluded Qumran community, shedding light on the community's perception of itself. “The Dead Sea Scrolls Project with the Israel Museum enriches and preserves an important part of world heritage by making it accessible to all on the internet,” said Professor Yossi Matias, Managing Director of Google’s R&D Center in Israel. “Having been involved in similar projects in the past, including the Google Art Project, Yad Vashem Holocaust Collection, and the Prado Museum in Madrid, we have seen how people around the world can enhance their knowledge and understanding of key historical events by accessing documents and collections online. We hope to make all existing knowledge in historical archives and collections available to all, including helping to put additional Dead Sea Scroll documents online.”

Amjad Awad Pleads Guilty in Fogel Slayings ALLEGED 'MASTERMIND' OF ITAMAR MASSACRE PLEADS GUILTY TO FIVE COUNTS OF MURDER BEFORE MILITARY COURT BY GAVRIEL QUEENANN Amjad Awad on Tuesday pleaded guilty to the horrific slaying of five members of the Fogel family in Itamar on March 11. mjad, 19, who perpetrated the mass murder with his cousin, Hakim, is said by IDF prosecutors to have been the mastermind behind the attack. Together the cousins broke into the Fogel home and brutally murdered Ehud (36), his wife Ruth (35), Yoav (11), Elad (4), and 2month-old Hadas. According to court documents Hakim aided Amjad him by holding down the children for slaughter, and shooting Ruth after Amjad stabbed her. Judges from the Samaria Military Court reportedly examined the primary evidence in the case before agreeing to convict Amjad on the basis of his own admission.

The Fogel family Last month, the same court sentenced Hakim, now 18, to five consecutive life sentences plus five years in prison, a total of 130 years behind bars. Hakim was 17-years old when the slayings took place. Amjad's sentence for his role in the Itamar massacre is still outstanding. Both cousins have expressed pride for their bloody crimes.

Netanyahu Condemns Mosque Attack ISRAEL’S RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO VISIT VILLAGE IN SHOW OF SOLIDARITY Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and high-ranking ministers quickly condemned an attack on a mosque overnight Monday (Oct. 3) in Tuba Zangariya, a Bedouin village in Israel’s Galilee region, allegedly by farright settlers. etanyahu was “outraged by the images” of the burning of the mosque and the graffiti slogans sprayed on its walls. “This crime contravenes the values of the State of Israel, in which freedom of religion and freedom of worship are supreme values. The images are shocking and have no place in the State of Israel,” he said, according to a media statement put out by his office early Monday.

______________________ Rabbis around Israel condemned the act, saying it is un-conciliatory with the ethos of Judaism and peace. ______________________ Israel’s Defense Minister Ehud Barak called the attack “criminal” and vowed the perpetrators would be brought to justice. Israel’s Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharanovitch responded by calling the incident a “criminal and despicable attack on a holy place,” The Jerusalem Post reported. Rabbis around Israel condemned the act, saying it is un-conciliatory with the ethos of Judaism and peace.

“This is a horrendous act that is totally incompatible with Jewish religious teaching and values,” Rabbi David Rosen, who chairs an interreligious coalition at the American Jewish Committee, told The Israel Project. Leaders from Israel’s main religious council are visiting the village today in a show of support and solidarity. The group includes the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, the leader of the Druze faith, the Greek Orthodox Patriarch, heads of the Ahmadiyya community and the Baha’i faith, bishops, qadis and other leaders. Netanyahu instructed Israel Security Agency Director Yoram Cohen to “quickly find those responsible for arson at the mosque,” his media statement continued. Roni Atiya, an Israeli police commander, confirmed that officers arrested several suspects in connection with the arson. “We are working hard to trace the culprits,” Atiya said, Israel’s YNet News reported. He also said police were doing everything in their power to prevent clashes between local residents and security forces. In a reaction to the attack on the mosque, some 300 people marched from the village towards the nearby town, Rosh Pina, and threw stones at police and burned tires. “We're talking to leaders of the community in order to calm the situation," said Israeli Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. Last month, Israeli police off icers announced the formation of a special task force to track down and arrest far-right extremists who were behind such incidents in the West Bank.

World Jewish Congress Meets with Argentinian Jewish Leaders

INTERNATIONAL

AJC Urges German Foundation to Expand Programs on AntiSemitism, Israel In the wake of controversy over a German-Israeli high school exchange program, the American Jewish Committee is urging the Foundation “Remembrance Responsibility Future” (Stiftung EVZ) to review its human rights program guidelines and create targeted programming to combat anti-Semitism and contribute to a balanced understanding of modern Israel.

The World Jewish Congress hosted a special meeting last week with the leadership of the Argentinian Jewish community and its main representative bodies. The special guests included the president of the AMIA, Angel Barman, the president of the DAIA, Aldo Donzis, and Sergio Burstein, the president of Relatives and Friends of Victims of the AMIA Bombing, and other members of these organizations. he representatives came to New York with President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of Argentina who discussed the issue of terrorism during her speech at the United Nations. Since the horrific terrorist attack in July of 1994 during which the Jewish Community Center that housed the AMIA sustained the deaths of 85 people and 300 injured, the Jewish community has been pressing its government and the international community to apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous attack. Eight culprits directly connected to high level officials in Iran have been issued Red Notices by Interpol for their roles in this bombing, yet they continue to evade justice. During her speech at the UN, President Kirchner condemned terrorism in the strongest possible terms and called upon Iran to follow through on its offer to assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice. One of the culprits is the Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi, who, despite his having been issued a Red Notice, has been able to travel freely between some South American countries. To the dismay of the Jewish community, Vahidi traveled to Bolivia and was not apprehended, on the pretext of diplomatic immunity. The community has since asked for the creation of a body that would re-consider diplo-

Evelyn Sommer, Chairman of World Jewish Congress, North America, said, “The World Jewish Congress has stood by and continues to support the Jewish community of Argentina in all its representations and continues to strive to pressure those international bodies that can help bring the perpetrators of the terrorist bombings of the AMIA and the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires to justice. We will not abide the complacence of the international community that will allow this vicious act of mass murder to go unpunished. The international terrorists who bombed the AMIA and the Israeli embassy are those financed and fostered by Iran, the world’s foremost supporter of terrorism, and should not be allowed to leave victims in their wake around the world with impunity. The World Jewish Congress will continue to seek the apprehension of the eight culprits who committed the bombing without concessions or compromise. We cannot allow the tragic loss of so many to this Jewish community to go unpunished.” For more information, please contact Betty Ehrenberg behrenberg@wjcmail.org

“A foundation that was initiated by the German government and industry to honor the lives of millions of Nazi slave and forced laborers should give priority to initiatives that promote good relations with Israel and fight modern forms of anti-Semitism,” said Deidre Berger, Director of AJC Berlin Ramer Institute for German-Jewish Relations. “Unfortunately, programs combating anti-Semitism constitute an extremely small part of the foundation’s annual program. And some programs, reflecting a skewed human rights agenda, may do more harm than good.” As part of its “Europeans for Peace program,” the foundation recently funded a human rights project on education linking a school in the former communist part of east-

ern Germany and an Israeli Arab school in Nazareth. Documentation from the program, which encouraged students to critique the Israeli education system, includes stereotyped drawings of Israel that some have called anti-Semitic as well as texts that compare the repression of the former East German communist government with the democratic government of Israel. Rabbi Andrew Baker, AJC Director of International Jewish Affairs, who serves as a member of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, has urged its directors to review and eliminate any support for such questionable projects. “I fully expect that there will be a thorough discussion about this when the board meets in December,” said Rabbi Baker. “The reputation of the EVZ Stiftung hangs in the balance.” The foundation was created in 2000 with a contribution of 5 billion euro by the German government and German industry for the primary purpose of making symbolic compensation payments to former slave and forced laborers. A small portion of those funds were set aside as an endowment for educational projects.

Threats over Libyan Synagogue by Michael Mainville A Libyan Jew who returned from exile as Moamer Kadhafi's regime fell said on Monday that he is facing death threats over his attempts to restore Tripoli's abandoned and crumbling main synagogue. avid Gerbi, a 56-year-old psychoanalyst who fled with his family to Italy at the age of 12, said he was facing discrimination and being ignored by Libya's new authorities in his efforts to reopen the Dar Bishi synagogue and gain recognition for Jews who fled Libya during Kadhafi's rule. "This happened 44 years ago and now it's happening again," Gerbi, wearing a yarmulke on his head and Star of David pendant, declared. "They think they can make threats, that they are going to kill me, but I'm not going to give up. Like they did not give up to Kadhafi, I'm not going to give up to them." Gerbi explained that he was told on Monday when he showed up to work at the synagogue that he would have to leave for his own safety. A man claiming to represent the authorities told him his efforts were provoking anger in the country and that death threats had been made. "He said, 'there are many coming now, they are coming with guns, if they come you will be killed'," Gerbi elaborated, adding that he had been told that a major demonstration against his efforts was being organized in Tripoli for Friday. He left after four men armed with assault rifles showed up at the synagogue and its door was locked. "I just wanted to clean the synagogue because I don't like to see it full of garbage, desecrated in the eyes of God," Gerbi said. Gerbi further explained that he had begun his efforts at the weekend, paying residents to help clean the temple, which is strewn with rubbish and covered in graffiti after decades of neglect. He added that the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) needed to back his

efforts to establish its democratic credentials. "They need to say to these people: we are pluralistic," Gerbi stated. "You want democracy, you want justice, you want pluralism, you want social rights, you need to take the whole package." The Jewish community in Libya dates back to the third century BC and at its peak numbered about 38,000 people, although it was always the smallest of the Jewish populations in North Africa. Most of the Jewish population left in the 20 years following World War II, mainly to Israel, where an estimated 180,000 Libyan Jews now live. Several hundred were still living in the country during Kadhafi's coup of 1969, after which they were expelled and their property was confiscated. Gerbi returned to Libya this summer to help with the revolution and was hoping to become a member of the NTC representing the Jewish community. He said he had met senior NTC officials but was frustrated that he had not yet been recognized as a member of the council. "They are forming the government…Why do I have to be excluded?" he asked, speaking in English. "I am waiting for the answer to be a member of the NTC. Why others yes and I have to be the last on the list [sic]?" Gerbi understands that Kadhafi's regime had left a legacy of anti-Semitism and that, like in much of the Arab world, animosity towards Israel runs deep in Libya. But he said Libyans would need to accept his efforts to prove the country really had changed after Kadhafi. "They said they wanted justice, they wanted freedom, they wanted democracy. This is the time to prove it." The psychoanalyst-turned-activist does not know when it will be safe for him to return to the synagogue and resume his work. "I'm not here to play hero, I don't want to play martyr," Gerbi said. "I just want to be here to support the new Libya and democracy."

Nobel Prize-Winning Trio Includes Two Jews Two of this year’s winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine are Jewish. Sadly, only one of the two lived to hear the good news. he Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday that their annual prize in the field of physiology or medicine is to be split between the team of Drs. Bruce Beutler and Jules Hoffman, and Dr. Ralph Steinman. As it happens, Steinman and Beutler are Jewish. The three Nobel Laureates were recognized for having “revolutionized our understanding of the immune system by discovering key principles for its activation.” “The discoveries of Hoffmann and Beutler triggered an explosion of research in innate immunity,” says the committee. Through their research, originally conducted on fruit flies and mice, they have discovered dozens of genetic mechanisms affecting immunity to infection in both mice and humans, mutations in which have been linked with an increased risk for chronic inflammatory diseases. Dr. Ralph Steinman discovered, in 1973, a new cell type that he called the dendritic cell. He speculated that it could be important in the immune system and went on to test whether dendritic cells could activate T cells, a cell type that has a key role in adaptive immunity and develops an immunologic memory against many different substances. In cell culture experiments, he showed that the presence of dendritic cells resulted in vivid responses of T cells to such substances. These findings were initially met with

Bruce A. Beutler

Jules A. Hoffmann

skepticism but subsequent work by Steinman demonstrated that dendritic cells have a unique capacity to activate T cells. The discoveries that are awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize have provided novel insights into the activation and regulation of our immune system. They have made possible the development of new methods for preventing and treating disease, for instance with improved vaccines against infections and in attempts to stimulate the immune system to attack tumors. These discoveries also help us understand why the immune system can attack our own tissues, thus providing clues for novel treatment of inflammatory diseases.

the University of Chicago in 1981 and has worked as a scientist at Rockefeller University in New York, at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he discovered the LPS receptor, and the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA. Very recently, he rejoined the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas as professor in its Center for the Genetics of Host Defense. Jules A. Hoffmann was born in Echternach, Luxembourg in 1941. He studied at the University of Strasbourg in France, where he obtained his PhD in 1969. After postdoctoral training at the University of Marburg, Germany, he returned to Strasbourg, where he headed a research laboratory from 1974 to 2009. He has also served as director of the Institute for Molecular Cell Biology in Strasbourg and during 2007-2008 as President of the French National Academy

About the Winners Bruce A. Beutler was born in 1957 in Chicago, USA. He received his MD from

Minister Edelstein at Conference Addressing Delegitimization of Israel

Minister for Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Yuli Edelstein was the keynote speaker at "Hard Realities: Addressing Delegitimization and Anti-Semitism," a conference co-sponsored by the American Zionist Movement and the World Zionist Organization on Sunday, September 25th in New York City. Other speakers included Prof Kenneth Stein, Emory University; Dan Mariaschin, B'nai B'rith International; Brooke Goldtein, The Lawfare Project; and Malcolm Hoenlein, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. (Photo: David Karp) Pro-Israel supporters pledged to take action to counter the delegitimization of Israel during a full-day conference in Manhattan organized by the WZO Department for Activities in Israel and Countering Anti-Semitism and the American Zionist Movement (AZM). K Yuli Edelstein, the Minister for Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, was the keynote speaker at the conference, entitled Hard Realities: Addressing Delegitimization and AntiSemitism. In addition to Minister Edelstein, other speakers included Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations; Professor Kenneth Stein, of Emory University and the Center for Israel Education; Brooke Goldstein of The Lawfare Project, Dan Mariaschin, Executive Vice President of B’nai B’rith International, and Michael Miller, Executive Vice President of the New York, Jewish Community Relations Council. Ya’akov HaGoel, Chair of the WZO Department for Activities in Israel and Countering Anti-Semitism said, “It is important to gather representatives from the United States who are facing false accusations con-

cerning Israel’s right to exist. There is an escalation of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel events on college campuses, in the media and on the streets.” William D. Hess, President of the American Zionist Movement added, “This conference was intended to help empower the Jewish community to fight delegitimization. In the morning conference speakers analyzed the underlying issues that have brought us to this point. In the afternoon they addressed the challenge of how to reverse negative trends and give people the tools to fight back.” Hess added that “we want to encourage the Jewish people to embrace the Zionist idea. Zionism is the national movement of the Jewish people; getting people to say they are Zionists is the starting point for the struggle against delegitimization.” The conference took place less than a week after the United Nations General Assembly opened its 2011 fall session, when the Palestinians were scheduled to make their bid for statehood. Hagoel said the timing was not a coincidence and that pro-Israel supporters need to “acquire legitimate arguments that empower both Jewish and non-Jewish activists, as well as influential people around the world.”

WAR ON TERROR The Inside Story Behind the Awlaki Assassination BY STEVEN EMERSON IPT NEWS Note: This story is based on reporting with sources knowledgeable about the Awlaki operation, including three law enforcement and intelligence officials. nwar Al Awlaki, killed Friday morning in an American strike in Yemen, has been on the U.S. radar for several years, ever since, as one U.S. official stated, he turned from "inspirational to operational." He was believed to be behind the Nigerian "underwear" bomber who tried to ignite his explosives planted on his body as his airplane was landing in Detroit. And he was believed responsible for the cargo bomb plot targeting the United States last fall. U.S. intelligence officials, aware of other planned attacks, had arrested several Muslim American converts who returned here after "studying" in the Sudan. Most of their time was spent on terrorist training and learning from Awlaki and his advisors about the precepts of jihad and Islam. Intelligence officials believe that "hundreds" of American and European converts to Islam, along with other indigenous Muslims from Islamic countries, have trained with Awlaki, making many of them "ticking time bombs." Awlaki lived in the southern Yemen province of Shabwa, an area beyond the reach of Yemen's military and central gov-

ernment. Much of Yemen is like the Wild West, with no central governing authority. The numerous tribes settle disputes among themselves. Awlaki came from the Awalik tribe. Intelligence gathered last year from Yemeni authorities and from debriefings with several American converts who returned to the United States after training with Awlaki, helped narrow Awlaki's location to a 100 square mile area. He moved at night, often in convoys of armored SUVs in order to prevent U.S. drones and surveillance from determining which vehicle he was in. But the drones, which have advanced in the ability to recognize faces on the ground, hovered above the area where Awlaki was believed to be. Electronic intelligence–including telephone intercepts–also were used, although Awlaki was said to be careful in limiting his use of electronic communication, aware that he could be tracked that way. In the past several months, American

drone operators were confident they had identified Awlaki as he moved from among a series of underground bunkers. An initial drone missile targeting him was fired at an al-Qaida training camp but missed him. Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agents collected as much personal data about Awlaki as they could from his extended family living in western countries. For example, he had an ex-wife living in Ireland that no one knew about until a close relative living in the United States identified the family tree for agents in early January. The relative proved to be a goldmine of information about Awlaki's siblings, parents, wives, and children.

Intelligence officials learned about the American relative in January through other Yemeni expatriates living here who knew her. She agreed to cooperate and provided extensive information about close relatives living either with him, elsewhere in Yemen, or in different parts of the world. Telephone numbers belonging to a close relative living in Yemen's capital Sanaa that the American relative provided to U.S. intelligence officials proved the most critical. The relative knew that Awlaki called that number. The National Security Agency (NSA) quickly was able to triangulate the phone numbers and determine almost exactly where Awlaki was when he called the Sanaa number. The American relative also provided information on other Awlaki relatives who apparently had direct contact with Awlaki, either through email or other electronic means. That knowledge helped track other communication and confirm Awlaki's whereabouts. Up to a dozen additional drones were dispatched to the southern part of Yemen in a search for the exact coordinates of Awlaki's location. Drone operators felt that Awlaki was most vulnerable during the day whenever he was outside moving from one hideout to another. Officials also had recruited Yemeni informants to pose as Awlaki students to try to provide intelligence on Awlaki's location. But the drones, which could not be seen by the naked eye, hovered nonstop in a massive effort to

cover large parts of southern Yemen and ensure that Awlaki had not left. He knew the United States wanted to assassinate him, as evidenced by the lawsuit brought by his father, Nasser Al-Awlaki—a U.S. citizen living in Yemen. The suit challenged the legality of a presidential order to kill Awlaki, an American citizen, without due process. In the last month, drone operators became convinced they had identified Awlaki in various convoys. Previous strikes were considered but withheld out of concern of causing too many civilian casualties. Although the Yemen central government claims that it was in charge of the operation, the reality is that the United States acted independently. A recent intelligence tip indicated that Awlaki was going to be traveling Thursday or Friday in a multi-SUV convoy. By early Friday afternoon Yemen time, the drones had clearly identified Awlaki's convoy— which apparently was distinct from other traveling cars in the poor region of his province—providing a clear video to drone operators in Virginia. President Obama had already given the orders to kill Awlaki if a clear shot was available. The president was notified on Thursday about Awlaki's expected travel via convoy and that drone operators likely would have a clear shot at him. The president authorized the strike and was joined overnight by aides to monitor the video that was beamed from the drones. At one point, believed to be around 4:00 AM in Washington, the drones broadcast images of Awlaki's convoy traveling openly and without any cloud cover. Several missiles were fired. At least two of the vehicles were destroyed. Within hours, Yemen's military has secured the area and taken DNA samples from several of the remains of the bodies in the decimated vehicles. The samples were flown to Washington this morning and matched with Awlaki's relatives living here. One source offered a slightly different version of events, saying that the relatives' DNA samples were within the U.S. Embassy in Yemen. In either case, forensic scientists compared the DNA samples and confirmed the match. In addition, two other top lieutenants to Awlaki were also killed. One was Samir Khan, also an American, but the name of the other top assistant could not be obtained. There was jubilation at the CIA, the Pentagon and the White House as the leading global al-Qaida recruiter had finally joined his mentor, Osama bin Laden. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a warning to field offices around the country to be on guard against any revenge attacks. The charismatic English speaker and leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula had been eliminated. Report by IPT News, www.investigativeproject.org

Panetta Pans Israel, Props up Palestinians DEFENSE SECRETARY DECRIES CONGRESSIONAL EFFORTS TO BLOCK FUNDING TO TERRORISTS JV STAFF U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Sunday that Israel is becoming increasingly isolated in the Middle East, according to the Wall Street Journal and Israel’s Arutz Sheva News Service. The next day, according to AFP, he criticized U.S. lawmakers for withholding $200 million in aid for the Palestinian territories at a “critical moment” in the region. oncerning Israel, Panetta called for a restart of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, and says they should work to restore relations with Egypt and Turkey. Panetta made the comments as he was en route to Israel, saying the ongoing upheaval in the Middle East makes it critical for the Israelis to find ways to communicate with other nations in the region in order to have stability. “There’s not much question in my mind that they maintain that (military) edge,” Panetta told reporters traveling with him. “But the question you have to ask: Is it enough to maintain a military edge if you’re isolating yourself in the diplomatic arena? Real security can only be achieved by both a strong diplomatic effort as well as a strong

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta

effort to project your military strength.” Panetta added that Israel is risking its safety and security and increasing its vulnerability by not reaching out. “It’s pretty clear that at this dramatic time in the Middle East, when there have been so many changes, that it is not a good situation for Israel to become increasingly isolated. And that’s what's happening,” Panetta said. He added that the last thing Israel wants is to “take these issues to the streets,” so they should work on increasing their communication by reaching out.

On Monday, Panetta met with his counterpart, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, as well as with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. His goal for this meeting, he said, is to attempt to address both sides and stress that rather than setting conditions, they should begin talks. His feeling is that just getting to the negotiating table is “the most important thing…I don’t think they really lose anything by getting into negotiations.” Israel has expressed that it is willing to do so by officially accepting the Quartet’s plan to revive negotiations. A statement from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office read that Israel “welcomes the Quartet’s call for direct negotiation between the parties without preconditions.” Though they have reservations, the statement said, they are nonetheless coming to the table and will “raise them at the appropriate time.” Specifically, they expressed concerns about the timetable for discussions about specific issues. IsraelNationalNews.com reports that the Palestinian Authority was not as open to the Quartet’s plan, taking their time over accepting the proposal. They insisted on

demanding a freeze on all Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria as a precondition. Panetta’s criticism was also directed to leaders of Congress and the Senate who proposed to block funds for Palestinian territories. Members of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee and Foreign Relations Committee froze the funding in response to the controversial bid by Palestinians for full state membership at the UN. Panetta feels this is a “critical time…no time to withhold those funds.” Victoria Nuland, State Department spokeswoman, said that the money goes towards “establishing and strengthening the institutions of a future Palestinian state.” A major concern of theirs is that the Palestinians will not have the money to fund their police and civil servants, who provide services to security forces. This is an economic package; security aid is separate, as lawmakers feel it would be counterproductive to stop. As a result, on Sunday the Arab League reached out to its members to increase financial aid to the Palestinians. Some information for this report was provided by AFP and IsraelNationalNews.com.

This Year in the IDF: A Summary of IDF Accomplishments BY FLORIT SHOIHET This year in the IDF: new advanced systems, progress for women, international cooperation and enhanced environmental awareness. Here is a summary of this year's highlights:

IDF Soldiers stand at attention ew units were founded, including the "Sky Rider" unit of the Artillery Crops responsible for transporting intelligence information from the battlef ield using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). "This is a breakthrough in the f ield of UAVs," said Chief Artillery Off icer, Brig. Gen.

David Suissa at the inauguration ceremony. An increase in the number of Bedouins that volunteered to enlist in the IDF increased signif icantly, from 345 in 2005 to 495. Among the Druze communities, 83% of teens enlist, 60% in combat units. The Garin Tzabar program for teens from abroad that volunteer to enlist to the IDF continued to grow this year as well. Approximately 22% of the IDF is currently composed of new immigrant soldiers. For the f irst time in the IDF, a woman received the rank of Major General, shattering the glass ceiling. Maj. Gen. Orna Barbivai was appointed Commander of the Manpower Directorate. This year, two female combat pilots and a navigator successfully graduated from the IAF Flight Academy. "I hope that more women will enlist to the course and discover that sexism is nonexistent," said one of the new female pilots to IDF Website. 90% of IDF positions are available to

female soldiers, including roles as combat soldiers, commanders and instructors. New advanced systems incorporated in the IDF this year include the Trophy active defense system, capable of intercepting anti-tank missiles, and the Iron Dome anti-rocket system, capable of intercepting short-range rockets and mortar shells.

The Iron Dome is used against rockets f ired at Israeli communities by terrorists in the Gaza Strip. Both systems have had immense operational success. "The Iron Dome soldiers made history," said IAF Commander Maj. Gen. Ido Nechushtan. The IDF will increase use of the systems.

Jewish Leaders Criticize Obama's Double Standard on Israeli Construction The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has criticized President Barack Obama for again opposing the announcement of a lawful, routine housing project for 1,100 homes in Gilo, a Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem, while conspicuously ignoring continuous and massive Palestinian Arab construction in the disputed territories, which has increased by 26% over the past four years. The ZOA has called upon the Obama Administration to drop once and for all its racist policy of opposing housing construction for Jews, and only Jews, in Jerusalem neighborhoods lying beyond the 1949 armistice lines. he State Department said the building program was “counterproductive” and that it was “deeply disappointed” by ‘Southern Slopes of Gilo’ housing plan. The State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland said, “We are deeply disappointed by this morning’s announcement by the government of Israel” (Melanie Lidman, ‘U.S. calls new construction in J'lem “counterproductive,”’ Jerusalem Post, September 27, 2011). Gilo is a Jewish neighborhood on Jerusalem’s southern outskirts, home to 40,000 people, legally purchased by Jews before the 1948 War or Independence, at which time it was captured and illegally annexed by Jordan. During the 19 years of Jordanian occupation, Jews were expelled, their property seized, synagogues vandalized and sometimes converted into farmhouses. Gilo was liberated from Jordanian control in 1967 and a Jewish neighborhood re-established. During the so-called Second Intifada, Gilo was constantly the target of sniping from the adjacent Arab neighborhood of Beit Jala. As Italian journalist, Giulio Meotti, has written, “By seeking to force Israel to cease building houses in Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem, Barack Obama is legitimizing the Islamist zeal for the eviction of 300,000 Jews who live in parts of Jerusalem that were illegally occupied by Jordan between 1948 and 1967” (Giulio Meotti, ‘Obama’s Jew-free policy,’ Yediot Ahronot, September 29, 2011). The ZOA has also noted the remarkable fact that a Palestinian Arab building boom in the disputed areas of Judea and Samaria has increased the number of dwellings in the past four years by 26%. The total number of housing units in the Judea, Samaria and Gaza is expected to reach a total of 884,385 in 2011, an increase of about 26% compared with 2007, according to projections by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS). Moreover, this year, the Palestinians are expected to complete 33,822 dwelling units, according to the PCBS. By comparison, Israel completed 33,128 units in 2010, according to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (‘26% Increase in Housing in Palestinian Territory since 2007,’ WAFA

[PLO News Agency], October 2, 2011). The Obama Administration only criticizes or condemns Jewish housing projects in disputed areas, never Palestinian Arab construction there. This means it is seeking to exclude Jews from certain neighborhoods – a racist policy which, in respect of African Americans, once afflicted the United States. ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, “We strongly reject the Obama Administration’s criticism of Israel for merely announcing a new housing project in Gilo, an historically Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem. “We find it offensive that President Obama only criticizes Jewish construction in these areas, but never criticizes Arab construction in the disputed territories. Why is this the case? “The Obama Administration’s criticism of the new Gilo housing project raises additional concerns beyond the racist policy advocated by President Obama to the effect that Jews and only Jews may not build in parts of the Jewish capital and homeland. Gilo was always a part of Jerusalem. It was always a Jewish neighborhood – not part Jewish and part Arab, but wholly Jewish, built on land legally purchased by Jews. “Now we see the dreadful implications of President Obama’s speeches in May proposing that Israel accept the 1949 armistice lines as the basis for negotiations with ‘agreed swaps’ – a policy which means that, unless Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority (PA) agrees, Israel may keep nothing beyond the 1949 lines. This means that President Obama is saying that Israel must negotiate with the PA over the residential rights of 300,000 Jews in the entirely Jewish populated areas of Jerusalem beyond the 1949 lines such as Ramat Eshkol, Pisgat Zeev, Ramot and French Hill. “In other words, neighborhoods made judenrein by Jordan for 19 years are now areas in which Jews may not build homes. Various pundits assured us that President Obama in May said nothing new. Now we know differently. No previous president proposed that Jewish residential rights in parts of Jerusalem be made conditional on the assent of a terror-glorifying PA regime. “Prime Minister Netanyahu was absolutely correct to respond to this criticism by saying that ‘We plan in Jerusalem. We build in Jerusalem. Period. The same way Israeli governments have been doing for 44 years, since the end of the 1967 war.’ President Obama needs to be made to understand that the residential rights of hundreds of thousands of Jews in Jerusalem are not up for negotiation. “Israel has its own government and municipal planning committees and it is for them, not President Obama, to decide where and when Jews may build homes in their biblical and historical capital.”

Biden Blocks Pollard Pardon... CONTINUED FROM COVER ment because he is a Jew who spied for Israel. Pollard’s health has been declining and in August he had to be temporarily taken out of his North Carolina prison to undergo an urgent surgical procedure needed because of severe lung problems. Some well-known individuals have publicly called for Pollard’s release such. These include former Vice President Dan Quayle, U.S. Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross, former CIA director James Woolsey, former Secretary of State George Shultz, and even Senator John McCain (who was once vehemently opposed to the idea).

In August, Democratic Representative Barney Frank made a rare speech from the floor of the Congress on behalf of clemency for Pollard. Despite all these calls, the U.S. government has made no move to release Pollard. He was not even allowed to attend his father’s funeral in June. According to a recent report by the NY Times, President Obama (L) was on the verge of releasing Jonathan Pollard, but Vice President Joe Biden vehemently opposed clemency. IsraelNationalNews.com

Turkey's Diplomatic War on Israel Turkey's prime minister has called for United Nations sanctions on Israel at the same time that Turkish prosecutors are threatening to indict Israel's prime minister and others in connection with the 2010 Mavi Marmara flotilla raid. Coupled with other aggressive moves, including threats to break Israel's Gaza blockade with military force, Turkey is waging a diplomatic war on its former ally. eading the charge is Turkey's Islamist Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has become one of Israel's most outspoken critics on the international stage. Erdoğan has repeatedly attempted to humiliate and isolate Israel internationally, while forging military and intelligence ties with nations sponsoring terrorism against the Jewish state. On Monday, Erdoğan told Time Magazine that "Israel's cruelty … cannot be continued any longer," before calling for U.N. sanctions. Without an Israeli apology over the May 2010 flotilla raid, "the relations between the two countries will never become normalized," he said. Turkish prosecutors also compiled a list of 174 Israelis, topped by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Israeli military officials for possible indictment over the flotilla incident. Although the Turkish government claims that the list was drawn up by the Turkish-based group IHH, which led the flotilla, the Turkish newspaper Sabah claims that Turkey's intelligence agencies were involved. Another Turkish newspaper, Zaman, even claimed that Turkish intelligence agents had operated inside of Israel to discover the identities of those listed. Israeli officials challenged the list's validity, saying the names "were rather recycled from previous lists that were published on anti-Israeli websites following Operation Cast Lead" in reference to the December 2008 incursion into Gaza to take out Hamas missile capabilities. Military officials added the report is part of a psychological warfare conducted by Turkey. Erdoğan's most recent comments and the planned indictment follow a month of Turkish diplomatic attacks on Israel. On Monday, Erdoğan also accused Israel of manipulating the Holocaust to inspire international guilt, while carrying out attacks that killed "hundreds of thousands" of Palestinians. "Israeli people are only resorting back to the issue of genocide in history. And using that genocide [the Holocaust] they are always acting as if they are the victims all the time," he said. "So Germany has and is still paying its dues to Israel. But neither Turkey nor the Muslims in the region have such a problem [of genocide]; they have never exerted such cruelty on Israel. But Israel is very cruel in that regard. It shows no mercy," he added. Turkey is accused of waging genocide against Armenians starting in 1915, with 1.5 million people killed. Government officials refuse to acknowledge this history and withdrew its ambassador to the United States last year after a House committee passed a resolution calling on the president to label the event a genocide. Erdoğan has also been called out for hypocrisy over the Palestinian issue, when Turkey's Kurdish community has endured years of repression. Still, Erdoğan pledged earlier this month that Turkish warships would protect future vessels trying to break Israel's blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, a move sure to raise tensions between the two nations. "The main mission of Turkish military ships is to protect Turkish vessels. This is their duty. We

Leading the charge is Turkey's Islamist Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has become one of Israel's most outspoken critics on the international stage. will send humanitarian aid to [Gaza], and this aid will not be subject to any attack like the one on the Mavi Marmara. If they are attacked, the attackers will meet an appropriate response," Erdoğan said in an interview with Al-Jazeera television. The interview followed the release of a United Nations report on the 2010 flotilla clash, which upholds Israel's maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip. Furious that Israel would not apologize for the death of the nine Turks killed on the Mavi Marmara, Erdoğan also expelled Israeli diplomats and suspended military and defense ties with Israel. Erdoğan supports IHH, the Turkish group which deliberately orchestrated the violent flotilla clash. IHH is under investigation for possible designation as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department and has ties to Hamas. "While there may not be any evidence of a direct link here, there can be no mistake that the Erdoğan government is morally and politically behind this group – the İHH," columnist Semih Idiz wrote in Turkey's English daily Hurriyet after the flotilla clash. A report published by the Meir Amit Intelligence Center in January cited IHH statements that the flotilla received direct support from Erdoğan and several ministers. That included money, logistical support, satellite communications, the use of harbors and political propaganda support. IHH leader Bulent Yildirim maintains a relationship with senior government leaders including Erdoğan. IHH "has helped Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan shore up support from conservative Muslims ahead of critical elections next year and improve Turkey's standing and influence in the Arab world," the New York Times reported in July, 2010. Despite Erdoğan's emphasis on the flotilla clash, he was accusing the Jewish state of murder years earlier. "You shall not kill," he said in Hebrew during Israel's 2009 war to stop Hamas terrorists from firing rockets into Israeli towns. Israel's counterterrorism effort, he said, was "defying the world and mocking the world," before asking how the Jewish state dared "to enter the doors of the UN." He stormed out of a Davos forum meet-

ing in January 2009 after telling Israel's president, "When it comes to killing – you know killing very well." Erdoğan declared his support for Hamas during a May interview, saying it was a sign of "disrespect" to Palestinians to call the group a terrorist organization. The struggle against Israel is one facet of the Muslim nation's new Islamist foreign policy under the leadership of Erdoğan and his AKP party. Turkey has distanced itself from membership in the European Union, a former goal of the nation, in order to pursue better ties with terror-supporting nations like Syria and Iran. Turkey's efforts with Syria backfired after a massive crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators, leading Erdoğan to condemn Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and predict his downfall. Turkey's relations with Iran have also been on display, with Erdoğan openly repeating his intelligence cooperation with Iran in counterterrorism affairs. In a CNN

interview, he brushed off Western concerns over Iran's nuclear weapons program, choosing to take Iran at its word. "And Iran says that its only purpose is to generate affordable energy through nuclear power," Erdoğan said. "We don't want to act on presumptions. And no sanctions based on presumptions are acceptable by Turkey." Such behavior and more indicates that "Turkey may be, along with Iran, the most dangerous state of the region," Middle East Forum president Daniel Pipes wrote late last month. In addition to Turkey's troubling foreign policy, Pipes also notes its internal problems, including political challenges posed by the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), more aggressive terrorist attacks by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and a possible economic collapse.

Pugnacious Panetta Tows the Obama Line

As the Day of Atonement Draws Near… “They have provoked My jealousy with a non-god, provoked My anger with their vanities. Thus, I will provoke their jealousy with a non-people, provoke their anger with a vile nation” (Devarim 32:21). he words of last week’s Torah reading, Parshat Ha’azinu continue to ring in my ears. As we enter the new year, the United Nations enters its deliberations regarding the Palestinian efforts to declare themselves a state. I’m not the type to try to apply Biblical prophecy to current events. My colleagues and I find that such efforts are best left to evangelical types, whose (usually ham-fisted) efforts to force the square peg of their interpretation of Hebrew scripture into the round hole of present-day reality do little to reaffirm the faith of the more rationally-inclined among us, and indeed sometimes have the opposite effect. But the current situation Israel faces, in light of the words of Torah above, well, it’s just a little bit spooky. It’s easy to forget amid all the propaganda and rhetoric that there never was a country called “Palestine.” In fact, the land of Israel was re-named “Syria Palestina” by the Ancient Romans. They renamed it for a (non-Arab) Canaanite group that, over a thousand years before, had occupied the land’s southern coast. The Philistines were enemies of the Israelites, but they bear no genetic, historical, or cultural relationship to the Palestinians of today. Many scholars point out that the re-naming was probably part of a Roman effort to erase the association between the Jews and their historic homeland. Funny how things have changed so much, yet so little, since then. But “a vile nation;” isn’t that just a bit harsh? While biblical pronouncements, prophetic or otherwise, may not apply to each individual member of a group, what have the Palestinians, as a

It seems like newly-appointed Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has now joined the burgeoning cacophony of voices in the Obama administration calling for increased pressure on Israel in the hopes of resuming the stalled "peace" negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. If Israel hasn't been sufficiently raked over the proverbial coals by the international community in recent days for its perceived "intransigence"—most notably at the UN General Assembly hatefest and the Durban III conference—it now appears that the Obama underlings are turning up the heat. hile traveling to Israel for his first visit as defense chief, Panetta issued a veiled threat, warning that the Jewish state will be acting to its detriment and eroding its own security if it displays any signs of unwillingness to "reach out to its neighbors." Noting the undulating transformations in the region in the wake of the Arab Spring he additionally cautioned that Israel is "becoming increasingly isolated in the Middle East" and advised them in the strongest of terms to rectify the situation by assuming a dovish posture, not only as it pertains to negotiations with the Palestinians but with such countries as Egypt and Turkey, where relations have been strained. Panetta has been joined in his chastisement of Israel by Secretary of State Clinton, who, a few days ago, chided Israel's decision to build 1100 housing units in Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood as "counter-productive" to reviving peace talks with the PA. Her sentiments were echoed by the European Union who said that the decision "threatens the viability of an agreed two-state solution." In this tendentious climate, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has adamantly retained his previously stated commitment to direct negotiations with the Palestinians without pre-conditions of any kind. This however, has not deterred Panetta and other administration lackeys.

Subsequent to upbraiding Israel for not moving fast enough in jump starting the Obama agenda of pandering to the Palestinians so that the U.S. can avert a diplomatic crisis when their hand is forced in vetoing the Abbas-initiated "member nation" request at the UN Security Council, Panetta has now taken aim at members of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for impeding a $200 million aid package for the Palestinian Authority that was frozen due to its bid for UN recognition of statehood. Curiously, the Israeli response has been muted at best and whitewashed at worst. While talking to reporters at a joint news conference with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Panetta, clearly exasperated at congress for blocking the aid package said, "This is a critical time. This is no time to withhold those funds." The Israelis said nothing as they walk the political tightrope, constantly attempting to appease Washington while grasping at straws for their own survival. Panetta's desperate tone clearly indicates U.S. anxiety over the potential fallout of the nascent "Palestinian Spring" and what it represents for U.S. and Western interests. His behavior on his first trip to Israel in his new capacity as Secretary of Defense was beyond reprehensible. The Obama administration would do well to reassess their policy of funding known terrorist organizations within the infrastructure of the Palestinian Authority as it will only come back to haunt them in the future. The time is long overdue for the administration to extricate themselves from the obsequious corner they've painted themselves into vis-à-vis Mid East diplomacy and the Muslim world. The time is long overdue for the U.S. to carefully examine its purported moral rectitude in the foreign affairs arena and to begin to distinguish between intractable enemies from longstanding friends whose fealty they've answered with contempt.

group, given the world? Well, there’s suicide terrorism, a horrific, but at least self-correcting, problem. How about that TV show where Farfour the mouse (an unlicensed copy of Mickey Mouse) was touting the virtues of “martyrdom” to impressionable youths? If I recall correctly, Disney sent them a cease-anddesist letter, so they wrote him off the show by saying the evil Zionists tortured poor Mickey (excuse me, Farfour) to death. Then you’ve got all these Palestinian mothers who are just thrilled at the prospect of sacrificing their own kids just to have the opportunity to stab at the Jews, whom they apparently hate more than they love their own flesh and blood. But in a culture that glorifies the suicide bomber as a “martyr” and portrays his victims as sub-human, who can blame them? In a culture that celebrates the deliberate murder of a family of five (including a child, a toddler, and an infant), why not give a state to these poor people, when clearly it was the Zionist Entity that drove them to such madness? More importantly, if this is indeed divine retribution for our vain pursuits, how far have we let ourselves fall? That the representatives of every government in the free (and not-so-free) world would join together to condemn Israel while elevating such a non-people to nation status, ignoring the fact that said nation is ruled by a terrorist organization, and has never disavowed its genocidal goals, defies logic to the point that divine intervention seems the most plausible explanation. Let us all search our deeds as we prepare for this Yom Kippur. Let us cast aside our non-gods and rededicate ourselves to Truth. Only then will Israel dwell securely. Remember: Even the United Nations can’t veto the word of G-d. They tried it once, at this place called Babel. It didn’t end well.

The Speech I Would Have Doing Obama's Dirty Work Made at the United Nations BY TED BELMAN

BY MOSHE FEIGLIN Last month Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the UN. He insisted that Israel wants to carve itself up and create another Arab state called Palestine in its biblical heartland. He continued that he only wishes for Israel to give this state to the Palestinians instead of for them to take it unilaterally. he following is the speech that Moshe Feiglin—who came in second to Netanyahu for head of Israel's ruling Likud party at the last election—would have given if he were Prime Minister of Israel. *** Honorable Representatives of the Nations, I chose to come here today to tell you the truth. Since the miraculous war in which the G-d of Israel led us to redeem Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and Israeli territory until the Jordan River, a strange costume ball has been taking place in this building. The Jews come to the ball masked as Israelis, the Arabs come masked as Palestinians and everyone talks about a land that does not exist and never did: Palestine. Today, on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the day on which the Jewish Nation declares the Kingship of the Creator over themselves and the entire world, I have chosen to come here to remove the masks. Beneath the Israeli mask is the Jewish Nation that went out of Egypt, received the Torah at Sinai and heralded the message of liberty to all humanity. The Israelis are those same Jews who traversed the Pharoahs, the Babylonians, the Chaldeans and the Greeks, the Romans and the Byzantines, the Arabs, the Crusaders, the Mamelukes, the British and the Germans. All of those nations swept onto the stage of history and waged war in their way against the Eternal Nation chosen by the Creator to testify to His existence and to bring His message to the world. All of them faded away, while the Jewish Nation is not only still here, but has wondrously returned from all its exiles and hardships and has gathered in its Holy Land, just as the prophets had foretold. From its Land, the Jewish Nation will establish an exemplary, moral society and will fulfill its historic destiny. Please forgive me for ruining the costume ball, but the time has come to remove the "Palestinian" mask: There is not and there never was a "Palestinian nation." Can anyone here point to Palestinian history? A Palestinian archeological site? The name of a Palestinian scholar from the 19th century? The name of the Palestinian currency? For nineteen years, Judea and Samaria were void of Jewish settlements, occupied by the Jordanian state established by the British to steal the East Bank of the Jordan from the Land of Israel. The Palestine Liberation Organization was established in 1964 – three years before Israel liberated Judea and Samaria. Back then, even the PLO stated they had no national claim on the territory on the other side of the Green Line because those territories were in the hands of their Arabic nation. Please allow me to quote the most precise definition for the essence of the conflict. It is a definition pronounced from this very platform by former British Foreign Minister, Mr. Ernest Bevin, in April 1946, when the question of the Land of Israel was deliberated in the United Nations: "For the Jews, the main point is the estab-

lishment of a sovereign Jewish state. For the Arabs, the main point is to oppose Jewish sovereignty in any part of Palestine, until the very end." Bevin is not suspect of over-enthusiasm for the Jewish cause. On the contrary. The British themselves gave the name "Palestine" to the Land of Israel in an effort to erase its true identity. At that stage, the British government did all that it could to ensure the victory of the Arabs, who had clearly announced that in the Land of Israel they intended to complete Hitler's work. Nevertheless, if we look at the conflict from the perspective of its 60 years, it is impossible to understand it without Bevin's precise analysis. There is not and there will not be a “Palestinian” state. There are Jews who are returning to our Land, and there are Arabs whose entire purpose is to prevent a Jewish foothold in any part of the Land of Israel. The Arab and international demand for Israel to retreat was fully implemented six years ago in the Gaza Strip. We could have expected that when Israel carried out precisely what the world had demanded of it for years, its international standing would have improved. We would have expected international anti-Semitism to dissipate and for the Arabs to respond quickly and positively to accelerated serious negotiations for a permanent peace treaty. But just the opposite happened. Approximately one-half of Israel's population – throughout both the north and the south – was exposed to rocket terror attacks. A more serious threat accompanied the physical threat: a vicious international attack on Israel's legitimate right to exist. But this cannot continue, ladies and gentlemen. This false costume ball, for which the United Nations provides center stage, will not go on. We will no longer take part in it. Practically speaking, we will not oppose the “Palestinian” proposal, because we will simply not be here. The Jews have returned to their Land to herald the message of Divine liberty for all humanity. From now, we will focus on our historical goal; to bring about the historic and moral redemption and economic wellbeing of all humanity. If the Arabs who live in the Land to which the G-d of our Forefathers kindly returned us desire peace, they are welcome to choose between the following options: Either they can fully recognize Jewish sovereignty over the Land and declare their loyalty to the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish nation, or they can realize their national aspirations in any one of the 22 Arab nations that surround them - or they can emigrate to anywhere else in the world that they wish. Any other decision is a declaration of war. We do not put our trust in the nations of the world. We put our trust in He Who returned us to our Land and defeated our enemies in all the wars that they started since the State of Israel was established. I turn from here to all the civilized nations, to the good majority of humanity represented by a minority in this house: Remember G-d's blessing to Abraham: "And I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you." The way that you relate to G-d's chosen nation will determine if you will merit His blessing or His curse. Manhigut Yehudit is the largest faction inside the Likud party, and strives to Restore Jewish Values, Pride and Integrity to the State of Israel. The Manhigut Yehudit website is WWW.JEWISHISRAEL.ORG

The 'peace process', as abetted by Obama and the Quartet, will be the death of Israel. .S. Secretary of defense, Leon Panetta, just came to town and warned that Israel is becoming “increasingly isolated” and must restart negotiations with the Palestinian Authority and work to restore relations with Egypt and Turkey. Why? According to AP and reported on Arutz Sheva, he said the ongoing upheaval in the Middle East makes it critical for the Israelis to find ways to communicate with other nations in the region in order to have stability. His remarks come on the heels of Bill Clinton's attack on Netanyahu for the failure of the peace process and Gates’ parting shot. According to Elliot Abrams: “Gates argued to the president directly that Netanyahu is not only ungrateful, but also endangering his country by refusing to grapple with Israel’s growing isolation and with the demographic challenges it faces if it keeps control of the West Bank.” This pressure being put on the Netanyahu government reflects the actual Obama policy towards Israel rather than his recent UN speech, which was so much fairer to Israel than he had been in the past. Obama really wants Israel to give in to his demands for negotiations based on ’67 lines with swaps and appease all her neighbors. But Obama

obviously wants to appear as Israel’s friend with his reelection foremost in his mind and therefore gets others to do his dirty work. A telling example of this is getting Biden to take the hit for not releasing Pollard. In addition, Hillary Clinton filed a brief in the Court regarding the birth certificate case, which alleges that any American action that “symbolically or concretely” signals it recognizes Jerusalem being in Israel would “critically compromise the ability of the United States to work with Israelis, Palestinians and others in the region to further the peace process.” Sounds like an overstatement to me. No one really believes that if Israel were to appease its neighbors, she will find peace. Quite the contrary. Appeasement by Israel begets more demands. Even now the PA is referencing the indefensible borders suggested by the Partition Plan as their goal, while at the same time acknowledging that the '49 armistice lines (called '67 "borders" in the media) would leave Israel defenseless. More than anything, Israel’s isolation is due to the peace process. It is the peace process that empowers the Arabs to make demands and enables the U.S. and the EU to make demands. As such, the peace process will be the death of Israel. By focusing all this attention on the peace process and blaming Israel for its failure, the Arab street becomes fixated on hatred for Israel and paradoxically on the U.S. for not delivering Israel.

No Hijab, No Peace: Analyzing the Rye Playland Incident for the event made no mention of headgear restrictions, thus ensuring plenty of irate Muslims that day. • Behold the noxious influence of groups like CAIR on Muslim minds. "This all happened because we're Muslim," charged one of the attendees, demonstrating the Islamist view that anybody who says no to a Muslim must be a bigot. True to form, CAIR responded to the brouhaha by lamenting the "Islamophobia" that allegedly targets covered women.

BY DAVID J. RUSIN In a controversy sure to fuel the accommodation debate, 15 people were arrested on August 30 at Rye Playland, an amusement park in Westchester County, New York, following a melee that involved Muslims objecting to the prohibition of head coverings on certain rides. One young woman's refusal to remove her headscarf apparently led to altercations among Muslims, who then scuffled with security officials. Their legal cases have been adjourned until October. espite claims of discrimination, the park's rules on headgear are neutral with respect to faith and have a single goal. "It's a safety issue on rides. If it's a scarf, you could choke," explained Peter Tartaglia, Westchester deputy parks commissioner. Indeed, a Muslim woman was strangled to death last year in Australia when her head covering got caught in the axle of a go-kart. Five reflections on the hijab fracas at Rye Playland: • Once again we see the no-win situation that often results when multiculturalism and safety concerns collide: enforce the appropriate dress code and risk accusations of bias, or loosen the rules and risk accusations of negligence. Other recreational venues, including an Australian water park and a Connecticut roller rink, have faced this same dilemma. • Claims that the headgear policy is selectively applied to discriminate against Muslims are undercut by an August 31 article in the Journal News. Describing how the park returned to normal the next day, it notes that

Amusement parks should set rules based on what they believe to be necessary for the protection of their patrons. Tell Rye Playland to keep putting safety first — and ignore those Islamists who put agitation first. David Russin is director of Islamist Watch, the Middle East Forum’s project to expose and combat lawful Islamism (a.k.a. stealth jihad) in the West.

One of the Muslim women whose refusal to follow park safety regulations led to the melee two Jewish boys were asked to remove their yarmulkes prior to boarding a roller coaster. They did so without causing a scene. • Headscarves are not the only Islamic attire that could prove dangerous on fast-moving rides. Baggy garments, such as those worn by Muslim women photographed at Rye Playland, may require regulation as well. • Islamists have been known to orchestrate incidents for the purpose of gaining sympathy and concessions (e.g., the "flying imams"). With the Muslims' visit having been arranged by a chapter of the Muslim American Society (MAS), an Islamist group closely linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, this possibility must be considered. Especially curious: organizers had been told about park policy in advance, yet MAS fliers

Israel: Global Energy Giant? By Gedaliah Borvick of “My Israel Home” In the spirit of “now I’ve seen it all,” Israel is poised to become a leading fuel exporter. In 2004, Israel discovered a significant gas field named “Tamar” in the Eastern Mediterranean. Tamar is expected to pump enough oil to supply all of Israel’s domestic requirements for at least 20 years. In 2010, another gas field aptly dubbed “Leviathan” (Hebrew for whale) was discovered, which is at least double the size of Tamar.

One of many oil rigs on the Mediterranean Oil Shale

ess well-known but potentially more dramatic is Israel’s burgeoning oil shale industry, led by Israel Energy Initiatives (IEI), which is owned by the American telecom company IDT. There has recently been a spate of articles written on this issue in major global papers including The Times of London, The Australian and The Jerusalem Post. In November 2010, banker Lord Jacob Rothschild and Rupert Murdoch purchased an 11% stake in Genie Oil & Gas, the parent company of IEI. Furthermore, Genie's advisory

board includes such luminaries as Michael Steinhardt and former vice president Dick Cheney. Late last year, IEI presented data showing Israel’s oil shale reserves at the equivalent of 250 billion barrels. To put that in context, Saudi Arabia, the second largest oil-producing country in the world, has proven oil reserves totaling 260 billion barrels. If IEI’s numbers prove out, Israel will emerge as having the third largest oil shale deposits, after the U.S. and China. Problems and Solutions

Shale oil has historically been environmentally problematic because the mining process requires tremendous amounts of water and energy. Yet new technologies being developed seek to separate the oil from the shale rock hundreds of meters below the earth’s surface using a process that actually produces water, rather than using it up. If Israel can develop an ecologically friendly method for separating oil from shale, that technique can be exported to other shale oil-rich countries, thereby shifting our oil reliance away from countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia. Updated reports verifying the scope of Israel’s gas and oil shale inventory will be forthcoming within the year. Other existing challenges will have to be overcome, but the prevailing sentiment is that Israel has a good chance, paraphrasing former Israel ambassador to the UN Dore Gold, “to become a powerful energy giant, and not a weak client state that must be pressured.” “My Israel Home” is a real estate agency focused on helping people from abroad buy and sell homes in Israel. Gedaliah Borvick will be running complimentary workshops in Jerusalem’s Prima Kings Hotel on Chol Hamoed Sukkos, Sunday October 16th at 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm. For more information, you may contact him at gborvick@myisraelhome.com.

Protest Prevailed, Tnuva CEO Announces Tnuva's new pricelist shows reductions of 15% for yellow and white cheeses

This is a consumer-supporting pricing policy," said Tnuva Food Industries Ltd. CEO Arik Schor on Sunday. Schor announced that Tnuva would

The new pricelist shows reductions of 15% in prices for yellow and white cheeses.

Tnuva is cutting the price of white cheese to retailers by 13.3%; the actual reduction for consumers is 15%, with the recommended price of a 250-gram container of white cheese set at NIS 6.30. The recommended price is, however, 26% higher than the Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) discounts of NIS 10 for a twin pack of cottage cheese or white cheese. Tnuva's new recommended prices for packaged yellow cheeses are cut 5-7%, depending on the products. Here, too, the recommended price is 25% higher than the Rosh Hashanah discount prices. Prices for packaged cheeses are also 2265% higher than the prices of unpackaged cheeses sold at the deli counter. Tnuva cut its prices for puddings by 7%. When the social protest erupted, Tnuva cut its price for cottage cheese, but refused to cut the price of other products. In response to the protests and boycotts, the company instituted a policy of rolling discounts in a way to ensure that the basic price was unaffected. Strauss Group Ltd. (TASE:STRS) and Tara Dairies also announced that they are lowering prices of some of their products. Report by Globes, Israel business news - www.globes-online.com

Boro Park Hero Saves Shul From Arson An alert Boro Park resident rescued a shul from near certain destruction on the day of Tzom Gedalia, Sunday morning. Mr. Yitzchok Friedman was picking up his car from the Krasna Bais Medrash on 38th Street Sunday morning, when he noticed that smoke was coming from the building. ith no one else around, Mr. Friedman dialed 911 while rushing across the street to Paperific Supermarket, where the owner, Mr. Moshe Friedlander, gave Mr. Friedman a fire extinguisher. They ran together across the street where Mr. Friedman put out the flames, which had engulfed the bima (wooden lectern) and the curtains covering it. The FDNY & NYPD arrived shortly thereafter and are currently investigating what is believed to be a case of arson but is not believed to be a bias incident. “This fire could have been a disaster, not just for the shul but for all of 38th street,” said Councilman David Greenfield. “Under normal circumstances, no one would have been around but, Boruch Hashem, this brave citizen, Yitzchok Friedman, noticed the fire, notified the authorities, and acted heroically to put the flames out. Mr. Friedman deserves our community's gratitude.” Mr. Friedman told Councilman Greenfield

that he drove to the Krasne Beis Medrash before Rosh Hashanah to daven there. The Bais Medrash was rented to the Belz Beis Medrash for yom tov services. After yom tov, Mr. Friedman wanted to drive home but noticed a flat tire. Not wanting to ask for help right after yom tov, Mr. Friedman decided to wait until the next morning. It was on his was to pick up the car and repair the flat tire that Mr. Friedman noticed the fire. "This was modern-day miracle," explained Councilman Greenfield. "Mr. Friedman was the right person, at the right place, at the right time. In the Jewish faith, we would term this as hashgacha pratis (divine providence). The only reason that Mr. Friedman was there this morning was because he had a flat tire. But for that flat tire and Mr. Friedman's intervention, this important community institution may very well have burned to the ground." Greenfield visited the scene to thank the hard working officers of 66th Police Precinct who responded immediately to the scene, as well as the brave firefighters and fire marshals of the New York City Fire Department who are investigating the apparent arson. The NYPD & FDNY are currently working together to solve this crime.

proud to support this project along with Council Member Levin and Assembly Member Lentol, and applaud the great work of Neighbors Allied for Good Growth, People’s Firehouse, Inc., and the New York City Economic Development Corporation in transforming a piece of Brooklyn’s past into a community asset for its future.” The historic former firehouse—known as “The People’s Firehouse” after local protests and an 18-month-long occupation saved the company in the 1970s—was closed in 2003. Neighbors Allied for Good Growth and People’s Firehouse, Inc. are spearheading a project to convert the building into the Northside Town Hall Community and Cultural Center (NTHCCC). The Town Hall will be a public meeting space, arts and performance venue, and permanent home to community organizations.

With Sukkot Coming Up, Orthodox Union Issues Safety Warning s in the case of Shabbat and the Festivals when candles are lit, Sukkot calls for special attention to fire safety. On Sukkot, not only are candles lit in the Sukkah, electric lights and heaters may also be used under the proper halachic conditions. Based on guidelines from the Teaneck, NJ fire department, in consultation with FDNY and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the Orthodox Union has issued the following safety warnings for use in the Sukkah, as well as more general warnings for each time candles are lit. The guidelines are as follows: • Candles: More than 33 percent of candle fires occur

when candles are left unattended. Half of the people killed by candle fires in the home are younger than 20 years of age, with most of the victims between the ages of five and nine. Burns and fires are the leading cause of death in the home for children and young adults. Holiday time means candles, matches and fire. When burning candles, make your home safer by: • Using sturdy candleholders, with flame-protective non-combustible (glass or metal) shades or globes; • Placing candles at least four feet away from curtains, draperies, blinds, kitchen cabinets and bedding;

• Placing candles out of reach of small children and pets; • Never leaving burning candles unattended; • Securing hair and clothing, such as sleeves or aprons, from the flame when handling candles; • Keeping candles, matches and lighters, including lit memorial containers out of reach of children; • When lighting multiple Sabbath candles, families need to be aware of the high amount of heat the candles generate. Create a safe place in the house where multiple candles can be lit;

• Items in the Sukkah: • Extension cords should be new and specifically designed to be used outdoors. Do not overload the wall circuit or the extension cord. Tape cords down so that no one trips over them; • Heaters -- be cautious about using them. Children and animals can tip them over easily; • Electric lights -- do not place high wattage lights next to shach or anything else flammable; • Be careful about bringing hot food and beverages into and out of the Sukkah. It is easy to trip and be scalded.

Turkey's once-close relationship with Syria has grown increasingly strained as Mr. Erdogan urged Mr. Assad to end a government crackdown on protestors and enact reforms. Thousands have died in Syria as a result of the violence. Turkey has already imposed an arms embargo on Syria and Mr. Erdogan is expected to announce further sanctions against Syria's government when he visits Hatay.

Egyptian Court Postpones Jailed Blogger’s Appeal n Egyptian military court has postponed an appeal hearing for an Egyptian blogger who is on a hunger strike to protest his imprisonment on charges of insulting the country's military rulers. Maikel Nabil Sanad was arrested in March and given a three-year jail sentence for publishing articles accusing Egyptian military leaders of human rights violations, including the use of violence against prodemocracy activists. The military court was due to hear Sanad's appeal on Tuesday, but postponed the hearing to October 11, saying the proper documents for the case were not in order. Media rights group Reporters Without Borders said Monday Sanad's health is “deteriorating steadily” as a result of the hunger strike he began August 23. It said the blogger is suffering serious kidney problems and anemia.

Sanad's brother, Mark, criticized the postponement of the appeal, saying Maikel may not survive another week of refusing food. Reporters Without Borders said Egypt's leaders must show a commitment to human rights, justice and democracy by releasing Sanad. It said he was unfairly convicted because of his views and articles. Reporters Without Borders said it wrote to Egypt's attorney-general in Cairo on September 26 requesting permission to visit Sanad in prison. It said no reply has been received.

Iran Puts Student on Trial for Studying at U.S. University n Iranian lawyer says a physics student arrested in Tehran earlier this year, while on leave from an American university, has gone on trial on suspicion of having relations with a hostile country. The student's lawyer, Saeed Khalil, says authorities also accused the man of receiving illicit payments. Khalil says the student, Omid Kokabee, denied both charges at the trial's opening session on Tuesday. Khalil says Iranian authorities barred him from contact with Kokabee ahead of the hearing. Kokabee was arrested at Tehran airport in February, as he prepared to get on a plane to the United States to resume his studies after a vacation in Iran. Kokabee, who is in his late 20s, is a graduate student at the physics department of the University of Texas. No other details about the accusations against the student were immediately available. It is not clear when the trial will resume. Tehran and Washington have not had diplomatic relations since cutting them off after Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. Several U.S.-Iranian dual nationals and Americans of Iranian descent have faced arrest and criminal charges while visiting Iran in recent years.

Afghanistan, India Sign Comprehensive Partnership Deal fghan President Hamid Karzai and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have signed a strategic partner-

WISHING YOU MANY BLESSINGS THROUGHOUT THE HIGH HOLIDAYS

ship agreement aimed at strengthening their countries' ties. The agreement covers a wide range of issues, including security cooperation, trade and economic ties, and social and cultural exchanges. It is the first comprehensive pact the Afghan government has finalized with any foreign ally since the start of the country's war in 2001. After their meeting Tuesday, both leaders appealed for regional peace and cooperation. While the two-day trip was planned weeks ago, Mr. Karzai's visit comes as regional tensions are on the rise. Both Indian and Afghan authorities have accused Pakistan of creating unrest in Afghanistan, a charge that Pakistan denies. On Monday, Mr. Karzai again accused Pakistan of playing a “double game” in dealing with extremists. Afghanistan's intelligence agency says it has evidence that last month's killing of former Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani was planned in Pakistan. India also accuses Pakistan of plotting attacks on Indian targets within Afghanistan, including two bomb attacks on its embassy in 2008 and 2009. The United States has accused Pakistan of having “links” with the Haqqani network, an al-Qaida-affiliated Afghan militant group, which Washington says has safe havens in Pakistan's North Waziristan region. Last month, then U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen called the Haqqani network a “veritable arm” of the ISI, Pakistan's main intelligence agency.

NATIONAL Jury Selection Starts in Trial of Underwear Bomber Jury selection has started in the midwestern American city of Detroit for the trial of a Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day, 2009. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has become known as “the underwear bomber” because prosecutors say he concealed the explosives in his underwear during the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. Abdulmutallab appeared in court for the first day of jury selection Tuesday wearing an oversized white T-shirt. The judge immediately ordered him to change into a shirt with

a collar, and he left the courtroom briefly to do so. Abdulmutallab was arrested after being subdued by passengers on board the Northwest Airlines flight who saw his clothing on fire. The 24-year-old Nigerian is facing eight counts, including conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. U.S. investigators believe Abdulmutallab received training from alQaida operatives in Yemen. Abdulmutallab has pleaded not guilty and is representing himself since firing his courtappointed defense attorneys in September. He has been appointed a standby lawyer to provide legal advice. When Abdulmutallab flew to Detroit, his name was in a broad database of individuals who were suspected of having some link to terrorism. But he was not on higher-profile watch lists that might have caught the attention of security screeners.

Exonerated of Murder, Knox Leaves Italy for US American college student Amanda Knox is on her way home to the United States Tuesday, a free woman after a jury in Italy overturned her murder conviction. But the prosecution has voiced disbelief over the controversial ruling and has vowed to appeal the verdict to Italy's highest criminal court, the Court of Cassation. Knox collapsed in tears and the courtroom erupted Monday evening when the court's decision was read. Knox's former Italian boyfriend and co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, also was exonerated and freed from prison. Knox was appealing her 26-year prison sentence on charges of murdering her roommate, Meredith Kercher, in 2007. A courtappointed independent forensic expert said the DNA used to convict Knox was unreliable and possibly contaminated by police. The verdict also stunned the disappointed family of Kercher, who said they are still trying to absorb the decision. They say the search for Kercher's killer will go on. A third suspect, former drug dealer Rudy Guede, was given a 30-year prison sentence. He also has pleaded innocent, but was not part of Monday's jury decision. Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.

Wedding “Kiss”: Gene Simmons Married The Huffington Post reports that rocker Gene Simmons and his longtime girlfriend, actress Shannon Tweed, have finally tied the knot. Simmons and Tweed have had their issues, but Gene Simmons have stayed together for years. Their engagement announcement last month surprised many fans, who thought the couple was satisfied with the way things were. Simmons proposed in a romantic setting in

Belize after telling Tweed how much she meant to him. People magazine reported the couple exchanged vows they wrote themselves. 400 guests attended the Saturday evening ceremony outside a Beverly Hills hotel. Reporters from CNN got the quote, “I come with so much baggage, but you're the only friend I've got, you're the only one I've ever loved," he said. "I've never said those words to anybody. It's funny, I used to watch movies where they say I can't live without you, but for me it's true." The 62-year-old Kiss bassist and the 54-year-old Tweed have two children. The new season of the reality show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" premieres Tuesday on the A&E network.

Bob Dylan Accused of Artistic Plagiarism Paintings by famous singer-songwriter Bob Dylan went on display at the Gagosian Gallery in New York City last month as part of an exhibit entitled “The Asia Series.” According to a report by The New York Times, the paintings were inspired by Dylan’s travels throughout Asia, but many art buffs and historians believe that he copied the images directly from published photographs. The report goes on to say that a few of Dylan’s paintings have already been discovered to be exact copies of popular 20th cen-

tury photographs, including Henri CartierBresson’s 1948 picture that is almost identical to Dylan’s painting titled “Trade.” In a brochure for the exhibit, Dylan says: "I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work. What I'm trying to bring out in complex scenes, landscapes or personality clashes, I do it in a lot of different ways. I have the cause and effect in mind from the beginning to the end. But it has to start with something tangible." Is it plagiarism if the artist makes is clear that he is taking directly from preexisting works? The Gagosian Gallery maintains that it is not.

Avinu Malkeinu BY RABBI LABEL LAM â€œAvinu Malkeinuâ€?-Our Father our King; be gracious with us and answer us, though we have no worthy deeds, treat us with us charity and kindliness and save us! (Machzor) hese are concluding words of Avinu Malkeinu- Our Father, our King, which is a prayer that we recite on Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur and the days in between. It is based on a Talmudic account of a successful heavenly appeal launched by the great Rabbi Akiva. (Tractate Taanis 25B) Itâ€™s not clear why this particular formulation proved more potent than other attempts to bring a timely rain but it worked and so we employ an expanded adaptation on these auspicious days. Perhaps itâ€™s the balanced approach between two necessary ingredients, as we relate to our Creator as both a loving Father and a King to be feared. Looking over the 44 bold requests listed in the full length version spelled out in our Siddurim and Machzorim itâ€™s hard to figure which are the petitions of a servant pleading to his king and which represent the call of a son to his adoring dad. It may not be necessary that they be categorized this way or the other and even if there is a distinction to be made it might not be detectable from the text alone. How else can one figure if this an â€œAvinuâ€? or a â€œMalkeinuâ€? dominant request? The Dubno Maggid ztl. had a revealing insight into the â€œAvinu Malkeinuâ€?. He wondered why the first 43 requests are boldly shouted out loud while the last one- listed above, is said in a quiet undertone. Not surprisingly he answered with a parable: A wealthy merchant was a frequent customer of a certain wholesaler. Every time he needed merchandise to sell he would make it his business to go first to the storage facility of this large provider of goods. He would walk proudly throughout the warehouse

pointing to various products and commanding that â€œI want a hundred skids of this and a gross of that and a ton of some of those over thereâ€? and the workers would scramble to fill his large orders and load his truck up with the goods he was purchasing. Thatâ€™s how it worked season after season and year after year. Hard financial times began to overtake the merchant. He wanted very much to keep his fiscal failings as private as possible. Therefore he would stride confidently as was his custom onto the loading dock and go about in his usual manner of pointing and calling out for big orders until his truck was brimming. However, since his business had suffered so, he had no monies with which to pay the wholesale provider for everything now sitting in his truck. So he quietly approached the owner of the business and humbly admitted, â€œI have no means with which to pay now. Is it possible that you can extend me a little credit?â€? The Dubno Maggid explained that so it is with us during these days when so much lies in the balance. We open our mouths with an almost a brazen familiarity, like a child who calls his father from school or camp and feels so at ease and comfortable to ask for whatever he needs, â€œAbba, I need new shoes! Abba I need a new suit! Abba, please send money!â€? The good father always is there and ready to fulfill his childâ€™s vital requests. However, once the child realizes the extent to which goodness is being extended to him, his heart overflows with gratitude and humility and so he surrenders himself weeping quietly in an undertone as one absolutely dependent upon and completely subservient to a king. He begs for credit and admits privately that he is utterly destitute and in need of Tzedaka and Chessedcharity and kindliness. Avinu Malkeinuâ€ŚSend us all that we need and moreâ€Śmay we find favor in the eyes of Avinu Malkeinu! Torah.org

Madison Square Garden Joins Growing Number of Sports Arenas with Kosher Fare For many years, the management of Madison Square Garden refused to join the other sports arenas in the New York areas by offering kosher fare to its fans despite pleas from the loyal kosher adherents who attend, including season ticket holders to Knicks and Rangers games. ow it appears, a renovated MSG has selected Carlos & Gabby’s to provide the kosher fare to sports fans. That should also be good news for Knicks star Amare Stoudemire who eats kosher food. Carlos & Gabby’s is a Mexican glatt kosher restaurant that has made its mark in such neighborhoods as Cedarhurst, Main Street in Queens, and Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn. Adam Kay, founder of C&G and owner of the 5 Towns and Queens location, while confirming that he was indeed chosen by MSG, refused to give KosherToday any further details. But sources say that C&G will have a noticeable presence along with other new food vendors at the $850 million renovated arena. It seems that the MSG management finally recognized that it was the only arena in the area not to provide the kosher fare. In addition to Yankee Stadium and Citifield,

kosher food is available at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing, Prudential Center in Newark, NJ (New Jersey Devils – Hockey – NHL), Keyspan Park in Brooklyn, (Brooklyn Cyclones), Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ (New Jersey Nets – Basketball – NBA), and Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ (New York Giants / New York Jets – Football – NFL). Kosher food is also available in major sports arenas in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Miami, Toronto, and Boston. The Miami Herald recently featured a front-page story on the regular “minyan” during the Florida Marlins home games at the kosher stand. Report courtesy of KosherToday.com

The Audi A2 Concept – Premium-Class Space With By-Wire Technology Audi introduces its new design for urban travel, with plenty of room for four people within a length of just 3.80 meters, featuring matrix beam, dynamic light and an innovative, bright interior design with a powerful electric drive system, with by-wire technology for agile performance and long range. ith the electric-only powertrain of the A2 concept, Audi is offering another peek into the future of electric mobility, showcased at the 64th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in September. The technical study features a classic, premium-standard space concept that offers plenty of room for four people. The Audi A2 concept is just 3.80 meters (12.47 ft) long, 1.69 meters (5.54 ft) wide and 1.49 meters (4.89 ft) high; even so, it makes an elegant, powerful and sporty impression on the street. Its clean appearance concentrates on the essentials; all details are subtle but shaped for visual impact. The dark glass roof of the white-painted show car switches to transparency with the push of a button. With its headlights, Audi is presenting the next phase in LED technology, known as matrix beam. A package of LEDs and microreflectors generate a high-resolution and non-glaring high-beam light.

Delicate daytime running light f ibers frame the highly efficient LED low-beam light module. Intelligent tail lights adapt their illumination to the visibility conditions. The rear fog light, produced by laser diodes, is seen as a beam of light in fog and projects a red triangle onto the road as a warning. The dynamic light runs below the edge of the window from the front to the rear of the A2 concept – a band of light that contains a multitude of innovative, dynamic light functions. Integrated approach sensors detect the owner and unlock the doors via gesture control.

While driving, the dynamic light functions as a continuous side marker light. If the car’s indicator is activated, light impulses run throughout the entire band of light. In addition, a red bar of light flows forward from the tail lights when braking and demonstrates the strength of the brakes intuitively for other road users. The dynamic light is also located in the cockpit area of the show car, structured in two separate arches. Like the entire interior, the dash panel has a light and clean look and intuitive controls. The driver manages many important features

via touch-control areas on the inside of the steering wheel. All driving function use by-wire technology. Components such as the steering or brakes, for example, are actuated purely electrically. Two additional control surfaces fold up at the driver’s right when starting the vehicle. An open profile serves as the steering column; a seven-inch display and two secondary displays are located at its end. The Audi A2 concept has a flat interior floorboard. The center console is attached to the driver’s seat; the rear console extends forward between the two rear seats. The four individual seats add lightness, and there is storage space under the fold-up seat cushions. There is room between the rear seats for a city bicycle with its front wheel removed. The load area has two levels; a frame with functional nets creates the upper level. The colors and materials in the interior support the impression of lightness and functionality. The large areas from the door top shoulders to the floor bear a new and innovative covering material made of polyurethane with a neoprene surface feel; a ribbed material made from recycled polyester covers the central floor area. The seat shells are made with a plastic blow molding technique. Aluminum elements create highlights the cockpit.

Preparing for the Yomim Noraim: Medical Aspects of the Religious Fast By Herbert Okun MD Diplomate, American Board of Urology Many religions throughout the world include fasting as an important and integral part of the religious observance. One consequence of this is often the fasting headache, which is usually diffuse or located in the frontal region. The pain is non-pulsating and of moderate intensity usually starting after sixteen hours of fasting and resolves within seventy-two hours after resumption of food intake. he likelihood of developing a fasting headache increases directly with the duration of the fast. People who often get headaches throughout the year have a higher risk of developing headache during fasting than people who do not usually suffer from headache. Low blood sugar and the sudden withdrawal of caffeine and/or smoking (nicotine) have been especially implicated as causative factors, but much remains to be understood about this topic. A medication, Etoricoxib (Arcoxia) 120 mg, if taken just before the fast can effectively prevent or lessen the severity of the fasting headache in most people. However, here in the USA, there is a problem. Although this drug was approved and is used in 70 countries, it has not been approved for use in the USA by the FDA because of safety concerns.

The FDA has continued to study the data supplied by Merck, the manufacturer of Arcoxia seeking to determine if the benefits of the drug can be demonstrated to outweigh its risks. Adverse effects of

fasting other than headache include, voice changes, hoarseness, vocal fatigue, and deepening of the voice with a decrease in pitch. It's a good idea to discontinue caffeine and nicotine and to keep well

hydrated for forty-eight hours prior to the fast. Dr. Philip Schmidt, a board-certified internist and endocrinologist, also advises that diabetics intending to fast should be prepared to check their blood sugars four times during the fast. Diabetics, especially type 1 diabetics are advised never to fast as that would place their lives at risk; those type 2 diabetics, who are using insulin, are also advised not to fast. Type 2 diabetics, who take oral hypoglycemic agents should discuss with their own doctors, the importance of discontinuing these medications during the fast and also always having some candy containing sugar on hand in case they became hypoglycemic (low blood sugar). Many doctors may also advise stopping any diuretics and/or anti-hypertensive medication during the fast but not to stop cardiac drugs such as those use to treat cardiac arrhythmias. Pregnant women are also well advised not to fast as fasting may result in dehydration and the unanticipated onset of labor in the third trimester. Lactating women should also not fast as the resultant dehydration causes a marked disturbance of milk synthesis. If you are under the care of a physician, who has prescribed medication for you and are considering fasting, you must consult with your doctor and follow his/her advice regarding the advisability of fasting.

Sound the Shofar - a Witness to History A NEW EXHIBITION AT THE BIBLE LANDS MUSEUM JERUSALEM

In honor of the upcoming Jewish High Holidays, a new exhibition will be displayed at the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. ‘Sound the Shofar - A Witness to History’ reveals little known facts about the Shofar and traces its use and symbolism through history from the ancient world to modern times in an exceptional display of artifacts and multimedia. The exhibition will be on display from September 2011 through February 2012.

he shofar is amongst the earliest musical instruments played by mankind. It is also one of the oldest

and most recognizable symbols of Judaism, which has been in continual use for more than 3,000 years. Throughout the millennium, the shofar has been a powerful witness to the turbulent history of the Jewish people in both times of rejoicing and triumph, sorrow and devastation throughout Jewish history. According to the Bible, the shofar was sounded by Israelite priests when the walls of Jericho fell more than 3000 years ago, and at the coronation ceremony of the

kings of Israel including King Solomon. That tradition is echoed today as an integral part of the inauguration ceremony of the presidents of Israel. Throughout Jewish history, the shofar has been sounded to proclaim a herem (expulsion) against a fellow Jew, yet it has also been blown at weddings to celebrate new and joyous beginnings. Among the highlights of the exhibition is a two sided carved synagogue chancel screen depicting a Menorah, Shofar, Lulav and Ethrog from Ashkelon (4th-7th centuries CE); a facsimile o f t h e R o t h s c h i l d Miscellany manuscript depicting a shofar blower in front of Jewish worshipers (15th

century CE, Italy); a unique shofar used to proclaim herem against a fellow Jew (ca. 17th century CE, Western Europe); a Shofar recovered from the Gyimes labor camp during the Holocaust, secretly used by Jews on Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur. On display for the first time, is the famous Shofar blown by Rabbi Shlomo Goren at the Western Wall on June 7th, 1967 after the liberation and unification of Jerusalem. The addition of a children’s wing will include special activities including the preparation of holiday greeting cards, games such as “match the different animals with their horns,” a "Shofar Telephone," word games and puzzles using the words Shofar and Horns and more. The exhibition includes artifacts on loan from museums, Institutions and from private collections, many of which have never been on display before For more information, visit www.goisrael.com

"The Arrogant Years" Brings the Little-Known Story of Egypt's Jews to a Wider Audience LUCETTE LAGNADO'S SECOND MEMOIR WEAVES A NARRATIVE THAT IS BOTH INTENSELY PERSONAL, YET SURPRISINGLY RELATABLE BY DANIEL PEREZ In her award-winning follow-up to "The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit," Lucette Lagnado, an investigative journalist for the Wall Street Journal, turns her investigative eye to her own past, this time with a special focus on her mother, Edith. agnado prefaces her story with a tale of life in a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood. Lucette (Loulou, as her parents affectionately call her), is entering a rebellious stage. Inspired by fictional superspy Emma Peel from TV’s “The Avengers,” little Loulou decides to emulate her chosen role model by avenging the injustice of the mechitza (the divider separating men and women during worship) at her local synagogue, the Shield of Young David. Her attempt to subvert the status quo by gradually relocating her seat and those of her friends to the men’s side of the shul is ultimately uncovered, her plans foiled. But Loulou never loses her rebellious spirit, be it as an “avenging” journalist, or in avenging the losses endured by her childhood self or by her family. They found themselves forced to flee the only lives they ever knew, trading their status as prominent Cairene Jews for that of impoverished immigrants in New York. Lucette’s story is a complex one, from her Egyptian roots, to her youth in Brooklyn;

from the halls of Vasser College to her battle with Hodgkins disease. There are plenty of reviews out there that do a better job summarizing Mrs. Lagnado’s journey than this writer could. Instead, I’d like to focus in on one aspect of the book that touched me personally, and that I feel that the readers of the Jewish Voice would find especially poignant. Lucette describes life following the overthrow of Egypt’s King Farouk, who “for all his flaws, had been the Jews’ friend and protector, much like his father, Fouad.” “To the Egyptians who had chafed under the king and resented the rampant corruption, the revolution was a time of hope and renewal,” she explains. “But to Jewish families like mine, those days and weeks following his overthrow were terrifying—the tanks in the streets, the army everywhere in sight, the nagging, terrifying question: Who will watch over us now?” Now this author’s ancestors happen to hail mostly from Russia and Ukraine. While they no doubt fled the tyranny of the Czar, or the Bolsheviks, or what have you, I am several generations removed from all that. I, however, am a student of Middle East History. What’s more, my wife (with whom I can’t wait to share this book), is the youngest of a family of Persian Jewish immigrants. To hear Lagnado describe the benevolence of Egypt’s king towards his Jewish subjects, and the ani-

mosity of the new regime that would precipitate their exile, you could substitute “shah” for “king” and “Khomeini” for “Nasser,” and I could just as easily be reading my mother-inlaw’s story, albeit in more fluid English prose. Hearing how Lucette’s family was stripped of their livelihoods, their possessions, and their dignity, forced to flee in a hurry, it just felt so familiar. In March of 1963, little Loulou and her family made their way to Paris, “the most popular transit point for refugees headed for G-d knows where.” For my in-laws and their contemporaries, the main hub was Vienna.” Lucette tells us about her mother’s halfhearted efforts to enroll her in the Bais Yaakov girls’ school of Boro Park. “Assimilation—such a natural process for most new immigrants seeking to make their way—was anathema to my community, to be avoided at all costs.” Ironically, avoiding assimilation into the non-Jewish community could lead to assimilation of a different kind, into the Ashkenazic majority of New York’s Jews. Lucette lasted one week at Bais Yaakov. Incidentally, that same school would become my wife’s alma mater. Eventually, I came to a realization. What I found so mesmerizing about Lucette’s memoir, aside from the magical quality she lends to the telling of the story, was this: Lucette’s family story isn’t just her family’s story. It’s our story. Mrs. Lagnado is a Jewish storyteller for our generation. This glimpse into her family’s history contains in it aspects that

are common to Jewish history throughout the generations. Time and again, our people find aegis under a benevolent monarch or emperor, or the like. Time and again, we rise to prominence, thriving in those societies which allow us to thrive, and making ourselves invaluable to the ruling class, whether or not we find ourselves admitted to that class. Time and again, the political winds change directions, a new regime comes to power, and the rug is pulled out from under us. We then find ourselves bereft of our wealth, our confidence, our former station in life. We go into another exile in a seemingly interminable series of exiles. This is the Jewish story, whether you’re from Judea at the start of the Common Era, late 15th century Spain, 1950s Egypt, or post-revolutionary Iran, we see that history isn’t linear, it’s cyclical. It’s a story that we pray will have a happy ending. In writing “The Arrogant Years,” Lucette Lagnado may have been trying to avenge her parents, and to reconstruct her own youth that was profoundly affected first by the geopolitical milieu into which she was born, and later by Hodgkin’s. But I would argue that this book does more than that, avenging, in some small way, an entire generation of displaced Jews. The story of Levantine Jewry is one that we don’t hear very much about. When Mrs. Lagnado brings this story to a wider literary audience by way of so touching a personal memoir, she does it in way that history books and piles of statistics simply cannot. To borrow a phrase from Mrs. Lagnado’s mother tongue, “The Arrogant Years” is simplement merveilleux, simply wonderful. I recommend it not just for Jews of Egyptian, Syrian, or Lebanese stock, who might find in these pages cause for nostalgia, but for anyone interested in the history of Jewish Egypt, Sephardic Brooklyn, or anyone who enjoys a fascinating biography.

Shabbat Yom Kippur (October 8, 2011)

It was a magical summer, the kind that many of us experienced when we were very young and remember fondly for the rest of our lives. I spent that summer, as I did most of my childhood summers, with my family in the Rockaways, a beach resort in the outer borough of Queens, in New York City. t was a full year before my bar mitzvah, so I was spared the burden of preparing for that milestone. Instead, I spent the summer fishing in the company of my friend, Milton. Let me tell you a bit about Milton, and let me tell you about the kind of fishing we did. Milton was about a year older than I, and whereas my parents were strictly Orthodox and sent me to a Jewish day school, Milton's parents were not observant at all, and he attended a public school.

_______________________ "I learned too, that G-d singles each of us out for a very special individualized mission. That mission may be a major prophetic one, as was Jonah's, or it may be much less significant. _______________________ Nevertheless, we had a bond during those preteen years that transcended our different religious backgrounds. As I recall, we went fishing every single day of that summer, with the exception of Saturdays, when Milton, out of respect for my religious scruples, found other ways of entertaining himself. We set off every morning for the Cross Bay Bridge, which traversed a section of the Jamaica Bay. We waded into the shallow water and easily trapped several dozen little fish which we called "killies" and which served as our bait. Instead of fishing rods, we had a "drop line," using a spool of wire to which we attached fishhooks and lowered from the bridge into the water. Our catch usually consisted of several fish known as porgies, which were very bony and which my mother insisted were not kosher. Occasionally, on our lucky days, we caught a flounder or two, which we proudly brought home for dinner. We spent most of the time talking philosophy in a very speculative, but very selfcertain manner typical of boys our age. Because of our very different religious backgrounds, we argued a lot about religion and were preoccupied by questions about G-d, the meaning of life, and how to know right from wrong. As the years since that summer turned into decades, I lost track of my childhood friend, and I totally forgot the specifics of those discussions. I did remember that Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur fell very early that year, so that my family stayed in the Rockaways for the High Holidays. And I vaguely recalled that just before that Yom Kippur, I told Milton the story of Jonah,

who, like both of us, knew a thing or two about a fish – and about a much bigger fish than our porgies and flounder. This year, Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat, so we do not read from the regular cycle of Torah portions. Instead, we sample scattered passages in Leviticus and Isaiah, but in the Mincha service we read the entire book of Jonah. I must confess that over the many times I read the Jonah story, I never again connected it to that distant discussion with Milton. That is, not until I met Milton again, several years ago. Almost fifty years had transpired since we last met as boys. I was a guest lecturer at a synagogue outside of Baltimore. Afterwards, a member of the audience approached me and asked if I was the Heshy Weinreb he knew back in the Rockaways. Milton and I were reunited. After that evening we met several times to review the divergent paths our lives have taken. There was one major difference. I hardly recalled that discussion about Jonah, but for Milton the story of Jonah was what kept him connected to the Jewish tradition. Quoting Milton to the best of my ability, this is what he said: "I learned that day that just as the porgies and flounder in Jamaica Bay had their destiny, some to swim freely for the rest of their existence and others to be food in the frying pan, so do we all have our destinies. "I learned too, that G-d singles each of us out for a very special individualized mission. That mission may be a major prophetic one, as was Jonah's, or it may be much less significant. But we each have our calling, our vocation. "I learned, and in my case, I learned it the hard way, that try as one might, one cannot escape his mission. Jonah tried to flee to the sea to avoid what he was meant to do. I have tried other ways but always found my way back, not in the belly of the great fish, but remembering our amateur philosophizing while trying to catch little fish. "I learned too, and this has been the most helpful lesson of all, that the Almighty has mercy upon all His creatures. He cares for all mankind, and sends His Jewish prophets to the aid of even their Gentile enemies. He even cares for the kikayon, the strange plant under which Jonah found shade and shelter. "And finally, I learned that G-d not only wants us to change, but expects us to change, and helps us change. ‘Nineveh, that great city in which there are more than a hundred and 20,000 persons who do not yet know their right hand from their left...’ (Jonah 4:11) may have been doomed for its sins. But they could improve their behavior, and they did, and they earned G-d's own mercy." The lesson's Milton learned are there for all of us to learn as we read the book of Jonah this Shabbat. As for me, I learned another lesson as well. It is a lesson I learned time and again over the course of my various careers. Sincere words never miss their mark. Teachings conveyed from the heart are heard much more frequently than we can imagine. In the words of Kohelet, the biblical book which we will read in the synagogue during Sukkot: "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for after many years you will find it." (Kohelet 11:1)

Torah Reading for Yom Kippur

Of Porgies, Flounder, and the Whale BY RABBI TZVI HERSH WEINREB

PARSHA

Leviticus Ch. 16 Eliminating the Spiritual Waste BY RABBI ABA WAGENSBERG AISH HATORAH, JERUSALEM Greetings from the Holy City of Jerusalem! s we near the end of the Ten Days of Repentance, culminating with Yom Kippur, we review our behavior of the past year and repent for our erroneous actions. Each time we make a mistake and act, say or think something against G-d's will, a residue of impurity remains on the organs that were involved in the sin. Yom Kippur has the power not only to atone for the sins we committed in the past so that G-d waives any punishment owed to us, it also has the power to remove the spiritual contamination from the objects which participated in the misdeed, therefore cleansing us from any impurity. This two-step process is hinted at in the portion which we read on Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16:30), which states, '"On this day [Yom Kippur], He [G-d] will atone for you to purify you from all your sins..." The verse refers specifically to atonement and purification in order to teach us that two distinct processes are involved on the Yom Kippur day. G-d, in his mercy, not only excuses our sins by lifting any punishments we deserved, but also purifies us by removing any residue of impurity caused by the sin. Although Yom Kippur has the tremendous power to purify and cleanse us, there is yet one more step that we must take to complete the process, as the Netivot Shalom explains. Even after Kapara (atonement) and Tahara (purification/cleansing), the negative root which caused us to sin could still lie dormant inside. Failure to destroy this root puts us at risk of repeating transgressions, as the root cause of our inappropriate thought, speech or behavior still exists. (The Pri Ha'aretz comments that our holding onto the negative roots is as severe an offense as clinging to the transgression itself because it is the root which ultimately propels us to repeat the sin.) This final step of the process is alluded to in Psalms 37:10, where we are told, in reference to Yom Kippur, "Just a little more, and there won't be a rasha (wicked person)." We could suggest that the word rasha, spelled reish, shin, ayin, refers to the evil root, as the letter shin at the center of the word stands for the word shoresh, meaning 'root', which also lies at the center of our being, leaving the remaining outer letters, reish and ayin, to form the word Ra, 'evil'. The service of Yom Kippur brings us to a level which enables us, after being excused of our sins and being cleansed, to work on delving into the inner cause, the root of our negative behavior, and eliminating it completely. *** FROM ADAM TO MESSIAH The level that we reach through Yom Kippur is comparable both to the level that Adam and Eve attained in Gan Eden prior to the sin, as well as to the level that we will reach in the Messianic era (see Nachmanides - Deut. 30:6). At that time, choosing the correct path, that is the will of G-d, will become a natural and automatic instinct. Nachmanides explains that with the destruction of the evil inclination, people will no longer desire to stray from the proper path, as it says in Ecclesiastes 12:1, "I have no [evil] desire during those [days - of the Messiah]," but we will instinctively yearn to fulfill G-d's wishes at all times (Talmud Shabbat 151b). We see that beyond overcoming our temptations to engage in negative behavior, we need to cultivate a nature within ourselves where the desire to act inappropriately does not exist in

the first place! Once we destroy the root causes of the external negative behaviors, we automatically destroy the risk of erring, as the wish to transgress no longer exists. The Yalkut Shimoni (Proverbs 9) tells us that, in the Messianic era, all the holidays besides Purim and, as some maintain, Yom Kippur too, will be nullified. We could suggest that the reason Yom Kippur will continue to remain a holiday is that it shares the same essence of the Messianic era. As Nachmanides explains, the Messianic era will be a time when all evil will be uprooted and Man no longer desires earthly temptations, but will automatically desire to follow G-d's will. This is exactly the essence of the Yom Kippur day as it prepares us, through atonement and purification, to take the extra step and uproot any sources of evil within us, so that ultimately, we naturally desire to pursue only the will of G-d. Further proof as to why Yom Kippur shares this essence lies in the Talmud (Yoma 20a), which says that the numerical value of the word HaSatan (the Satan, or evil inclination) is 364, falling one number short of the amount of days in the solar year. This teaches that on one day only the Satan does not prosecute against us: Yom Kippur. In fact, the Midrash (Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer, cited by the Rosh in Yoma 8:24) says that on Yom Kippur the Satan actually defends the Jewish people and speaks only of their praises! This highlights how the essence of Yom Kippur is about uprooting and destroying all negative sources which cause us to deviate from G-d's will and, therefore, allowing us to follow the path of G-d wholeheartedly. *** SPIRITUAL BARRIERS The Chida (in Nachal Kedumim) explains how to achieve the ultimate goal of Yom Kippur. He quotes a verse from Psalms 89:16: "Fortunate is the nation that knows the Tru'ah [of the Shofar], G-d, in the light of Your countenance they walk." He divides the verse into two and explains that the first half of the verse, which talks of the tru'ah blast of the shofar, refers to Rosh Hashana, while the second half, which mentions the light of G-d, refers to Yom Kippur. Says the Chida, the intense spiritual light of G-d is revealed to us on the holy day of Yom Kippur. If we allow this Divine energy to enter and fill ourselves completely, there will no longer be room for negative energy because we are over-filled with G-dliness! By allowing G-d in, and releasing the barriers that prevent us cleaving to Him, we automatically destroy negativity, the 'Shoresh Ra', the antithesis of G-dliness. A person once asked Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotsk, "Where is G-d?" He replied simply, "Wherever you let Him in." The task of Yom Kippur is to let go of ourselves, our inner spiritual barriers, and let G-d in. Once we open ourselves fully to receiving the light of G-d, and commit totally to a life where everything we do, from waking in the morning, to eating, sleeping, walking, and so on, is connected to G-d in our mind, heart and soul, we have achieved the ultimate goal. As we cultivate this foundation, and blossom into dedicated servants of G-d, we gradually reduce the space for any negative roots to grow, to the point where there is absolutely no room at all. May we all be blessed this Yom Kippur to receive the Divine light, and let go of any negative barriers, in order to let G-d in and uproot any traces of evil, so that we merit to witness the Messianic era, returning to the level of Adam and Eve before the sin, desiring to fulfill G-d's will totally, with mind, heart and soul.

Disconnect those cables. Take those unsightly satellite dishes off your roof. Everything your TV needs is in one cool Ethernet cable, the kind that connects your desktop computer to the Internet, says Israel Drori, CEO of ZiXi, the last word in high-definition TV transmission. "Networks, content providers and production companies have been interested in high-quality, high-definition TV broadcasts over the Internet for a long time, but technical issues - especially the problem of bandwidth - have prevented the dream from becoming a reality," Drori explains.

"We support any bit rate, up to full HD, over any distance using the Internet.

Continued from previous page Considering all the pauses, skipping and dropouts many people experience when watching videos over the Internet, it's hard to imagine how ZiXi can pull off a trick like streaming the highest quality video in crystal-clear quality. But this isn't magic, says Drori; it's basic network science. "Nearly all service providers allocate only a small part of their network capacity to streaming content - so if you have, say, a 5or 10-megabit-per-second connection, you're using only 20% or so of that to receive content," he explains. The reason has to do with the way Internet service providers take advantage of network protocols. ZiXi's patented innovations make far greater use of network resources, he asserts. "If the average ISP uses 20% of network capacity, we use 90%, so that even on smaller bandwidth connections, like 2 mbps, you are getting the maximum quality available." Some sites stream TV shows and movies over a hobble Internet, but those sites "cheat" -- not just viewers, who get a poor quality product, but also the creators of the content, which often ends up lost in network translation. "Nearly all ISPs and content providers using the Internet compress their broadcasts in order to fit it into the available bandwidth," says Drori. "That cheats the viewer of the superior viewing experience they seek, and it cheats the program's creator by preventing the nuances and quality they put into the work. With ZiXi, there is no need to compress video to fit into the network's bandwidth, because we know how to take advantage of the bandwidth to fit the stream." Bottom line - ZiXi lets a content provider use the low-cost Internet for broadcasts of the same viewing quality as those coming

over cable or satellite. Kudos from the pros ZiXi, which has about a dozen employees manning its R&D operations in Tel Aviv, as well as an office in the Boston area, has been around since 2006. It has quickly become recognized in the industry for its technology. In 2009, ZiXi was named Top Technology Startup by NY Video, the world's largest organization of web video entrepreneurs, and this year the company was awarded Broadcast Engineering's Pick Hit Award, considered the most prestigious technical award given at the annual show of the National Association of Broadcasters. ZiXi was also chosen as a finalist in the inaugural ConnectedWorld.TV awards presented on September 12 at the International Broadcast Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam. "We have dozens of partners around the world already using our platform," says Drori. "Some of them are using ZiXi as a backup for their existing systems, and others completely moving to IP delivery of video content." Those who switch to ZiXi are in for a pleasant surprise, Drori adds. It's a lot cheaper to set up an Internet connection for streaming broadcasts than it is to set up a cable or satellite broadcasting system, so ZiXi customers save as much as 70% to 80% on their equipment outlay. In April, the company received $4 million in an additional funding round led by Schooner Capital, along with Sidney Topol, the former chairman and CEO of Scientific Atlanta, and Maurice "Reese" Schonfeld, the co-founder of CNN. Drori expects the startup to start turning a profit in the next couple of years. WWW.ISRAEL21C.COM

Syria Accused of Threatening Protesters... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 activities overseas, with potentially devastating consequences. Imad Mouhalhel's brother Aladdin was detained in Syria for four days in July. After apparently being tortured, he was shown photos and videos of protests outside the Syrian embassy in Spain and told to identify Imad among the participants. On 29 August, Aladdin was re-arrested and apparently forced to phone Imad to ask him to stop going to the protests. Imad and his family have not heard from Aladdin since then and have grave fears for his safety in detention. After Malek Jandali, a 38-year-old pianist and composer, performed at a proreform demonstration in front of the White House in July, his mother and father, aged

66 and 73 respectively, were attacked at their home in Homs. Malek told Amnesty International his parents were beaten and locked in a bathroom while their flat was looted. The agents told his parents: “This is what happens when your son mocks the government.” They have since fled the country. Some families in Syria appear to have been forced to publicly disown their relatives overseas. Sondos Sulaiman recorded a video in June from Germany calling on her fellow Alawites – the minority group to which the ruling al-Assad family belongs to stand up to the regime. She told Amnesty International: “My brother appeared on Syrian state TV denouncing this video and saying bad things

about me to ruin my credibility. I’m sure he would not have done this out of his own free will.” Sondos has been unable to contact any of her family to confirm what is happening to them, in particular her brother. Amnesty International said there was a need for host countries to take stronger action against Syrian embassies accused of orchestrating this kind of harassment and intimidation, and called on the countries concerned to protect the right to freedom of association and expression. The organization understands that the U.S. and UK Governments have raised the issue with the Syrian ambassadors to Washington and London respectively. Protesters in Spain told Amnesty

International they were lodging a formal complaint through the local legal system. "We look to host governments to act on credible allegations of abuses without waiting for formal complaints," said Neil Sammonds. "Many of the people we have spoken to are too scared of what could happen to them to make formal complaints with the police. "We would expect that any official found responsible for such acts should be prosecuted, or – if diplomatic immunity prevents that – asked to leave the country." Amnesty International this week released a paper accusing the government of Bashar al-Assad of waging “a systematic— sometimes violent—campaign to intimidate Syrians overseas into silence.”

base. Overall, the IDF decided to invest two billion NIS in the 'IDF Goes Green' project. The IDF also cooperated with international forces in air force training exercises with the Greek Air Force, Italian Air Force and U.S. Air Force.

During both the tsunami in Japan and the mudslides in Colombia, the IDF sent aid delegations of both medical personnel and search and rescue soldiers. For the f irst time ever, the Chinese chief of staff visited Israel.

Palestinians in the area? How do you read it? Is it in your power to create such a thing?" Kissinger: "Not in 1976. I have to be perfectly frank with you. I think the Palestinian identity has to be recognized in some form. But we need the thoughtful cooperation of the Arabs." This is still the American policy. It’s not about achieving peace. It is about shrinking Israel to “historical proportions.” The Palestinian people are only a tool created to bring this about. Does that mean the armistice lines or the Partition lines? Both are indefensible. By participating in the peace process, Israel is allowing this to take place. Every step along the way and every concession Israel has made have left her weaker and with less rights. When Israel entered into the Oslo Accords, she foolishly thought she was in control. And she would have been but for the interference of the international community. In the end, Israel is not in control and is reacting to the control and initiatives of others. The process keeps changing, to her detriment and without her consent. Thus far Israel has elected to continue the process, probably believing that by doing so she is forcing the PA to play its hand. Her victory of getting the Quartet to demand “negotiations without preconditions” will be short lived because

the first thing to be negotiated is the conditions or framework for negotiations. To show they mean business, the Quartet introduced timelines, which are as meaningless as the timelines set out in the Oslo Accords and the Roadmap. They will simply be ignored. Had the U.S. not attempted to shrink Israel, there would have been peace now. Had the U.S. not supported the policy of keeping the original refugees and their descendants in despicable camps, there would be no refugee problem now. Had Israel had been allowed to keep the Sinai and Judea and Samaria (so-called West Bank), Israel would not be isolated but would be dominant. Had the U.S. not insisted that Israel abandon the Philadelphi Corridor when she was leaving Gaza, Hamas wouldn’t be in power there armed to the teeth. Had the U.S. not built up the Egyptian army and put the Moslem Brotherhood in charge of it, Israel would have nothing to fear from Egypt. She no doubt would have used the Sinai or part of it to create a Palestinian state large enough to accommodate the Palestinians. The sooner Israel abandons the peace process the better.

Panetta Pans Israel, Props up... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 Simultaneously, new radar capable of locating launching sites was put into operational use. Improvements are underway at the Egypt-Israel border, with new operations rooms and observation systems. The IDF increased efforts to become

environmentally friendly. 20 million NIS was invested in the prevention of water contamination and 1.3 million NIS was invested in a Northern Command base. Additionally, IDF soldiers took environmental awareness classes and the IDF Off icers School was declared a green

Doing Obama’s Dirty Work... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 After Israel’s miraculous victory in the Six Day War in ’67, there was no need for any process, not even for UN Res 242. This resolution actually had its genesis in three things. 1) President Johnson did not want to force Israel to withdraw without an agreement, as Eisenhower had done after the Sinai Campaign in ’56. 2) Israel was worried about the demographic threat inherent in having all the Arabs in the acquired territories within her borders and preferred to withdraw to secure and recognized borders. 3) The Arab demand that the U.S. govern-

ment force Israel to withdraw. Even so, the Arabs rejected this resolution because it didn’t require Israel to withdraw from “all” territories. In 1975 Secretary of State Kissinger confided to an Arab diplomat: "Israel does us more harm than good in the Arab world. We can’t negotiate about the existence of Israel but we can reduce its size to historical proportions. If the issue is the existence of Israel, we can’t cooperate. But if the issue is more normal borders, we can cooperate." Aide: "Your Excellency, do you think a settlement would come through the

Rep. Turner Appointed... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 “Congressman Turner is joining a GOP Committee roster that it committed to aggressively addressing threats to our national security and standing up for American interests, allies, and values abroad. Bob will be a great addition and I am pleased to have him on board,” Chairman Ros-Lehtinen said

in a statement released today. Finally, Turner was appointed to the House Committee on Homeland Security where he will serve with fellow member of the New York Congressional delegation, Chairman Peter King. The House Committee on Homeland Security was established in

2002 to provide Congressional oversight for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and to protect the United States from terrorist attacks. “Rep. Bob Turner’s appointment to the Homeland Security Committee is fantastic news for New York. I look forward to work-

ing with Congressman Turner to make sure that New York receives the funding it needs to protect us from terror threats abroad and at home. Bob Turner knows that New York is the number one target - He is a fighter and will be a tremendous asset to our region and this Congress.”

JONATHAN SACKS TO DISCUSS “FAITH AND DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA AND EUROPE” AT Y.U. British Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks will discuss “Faith and Democracy in America and Europe” in a conversation with Yeshiva University’s (YU) Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik on Friday, October 28, 2011. The free event begins at 10:00 AM in Weissberg Commons, 2495 Amsterdam Avenue, on YU’s Washington Heights campus and is open to the public. he event is part of a series of “Great Conversations on Religion and Democracy” convened by the Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University and follows in the success of its August 31 conversation with Senator Joseph Lieberman. “As an extraordinary religious leader and public intellectual, Chief Rabbi Sacks has eloquently made the case that Jewish ideas have had a dramatic impact on the course of Western Civilization and that they must continue to do so in the future,” said Rabbi Soloveichik, director of the Straus Center. “We are honored that he is joining us for what is certain to be a thought-provoking and inspiring conversation.” The Straus Center is named in honor of Moshael J. Straus, an investment executive, alumnus and member of YU’s Board of Trustees, and his wife Zahava, a graduate of YU's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. The Center’s mission is to help develop

Jewish thinkers and wisdomseeking Jews by deepening their education in the best of the Jewish tradition, by exposing them to the richness of human knowledge and insight from across the ages, and by con- British Chief Rabbi fronting them Lord Jonathan with the great Sacks moral, philosophical, and theological questions of our age. Throughout the year, the Center will be teaching seminars on “Jewish Ideas and American Democracy” to undergraduates at Yeshiva College and Stern College for Women, and to rabbinical students. The goal of these seminars is to bring classic Jewish texts about government into conversation with the foundational works of American political thought, and to consider how traditional Jewish ideas impacted the development of democracy in the United States.

Jerusalem's Damascus Gate Restored After nearly a year of extensive conservation work on the largest and most impressive of Jerusalem’s gates, visitors to the Old City can now enjoy the Damascus Gate in all its splendor, just as the public experienced it for hundreds of years. he conservation of the gate, carried out as part of the Jerusalem City Wall Conservation Project in cooperation with the Jerusalem Development Authority, the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Prime Minister’s Off ice, included the restoration of the large crown that Sultan Suleiman the Magnif icent built atop the gate in 1538 CE, which was destroyed during the 1967 Six Day War when the gate sustained serious damage. Guided by pictures of the gate taken at the beginning of the twentieth century when the British governed Jerusalem, professionals restored and secured the crown to the core of the wall by means of eleven anchors. At the same time, the four stone decor was completely restored, and its ceiling was covered again with stone slabs. The work on the wall included conservation, the removal of hazards and the rehabilitation of elements in the wall. “The Old City of Jerusalem is a focus of interest for people the world over and the number one tourist attraction in Israel,” says Elad Kendel, director of the

Old City Basin in the Jerusalem Development Authority. “The city walls and gates are the f irst thing that everyone sees when they arrive at the Old City, and it is therefore important to us that tourists, both domestic and foreign, see the city in all its glory.” According to Avi Mashiah, the project’s architect on behalf of the Conservation Department of the Israel Antiquities Authority, “The work at Damascus Gate was particularly challenging since it is located at the entrance to a noisy and bustling marketplace. All of the work that was carried out there was done so in agreement with the local merchants. In order to avoid disturbing business in the marketplace, work was begun after the last stall closed at 10:00 PM, and continued until the early hours of the morning, prior to the start of the following business day.” For more information, visit www.goisrael.com

American Sports Keep Israelis up All Night BY ANDY GERSHMAN It’s 2:30 AM, do you know where your sports fan is? That is a question that can be asked nightly by many “sports widows” around Israel.
