In Wake of Orlando Massacre, Jewish Leaders Declare: "We Must Speak Out Against Evil"

Some of the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history that took place in Orlando. An ISIS inspired 29-year-old radical Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen gunned down at least 49 people and severely wounded 53 others at the LGBT Pulse nightclub. According to sharia law, homosexuals are infidels and as such receive the death penalty on a routine basis.

orld Jewish groups and Israeli leaders condemned the terror attack on Sunday inside the LGBT nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Fla., in which a terrorist shot and killed at least 49 people and wounded 53 others. In what was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, 29-year-old terrorist Omar Mateen dialed 911 during the attack to express support for the Islamic State terror group before using an assault rifle to gun down the victims. "On behalf of world Jewry, I condemn this horrific act of terror and wish to express the Jewish people's solidarity with the victims and with the LGBT community,” said World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder in a statement. "We are simply speechless in the face of such an act of pure evil and hatred,” said American Jew-

ish Committee Executive Director David Harris, who mourned “the loss of innocent lives" and expressed hope for the "full recovery of those rushed to area hospitals and in need of urgent medical attention."

"Murderous attacks in the name of religion are anathema" said RCA president Shalom Baum Jewish Council for Public Affairs Director David Bernstein called the attack “an act of terrorism and a mass hate crime," while Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said the attack had “all the markers of both an unconscionable hate crime and an act of terrorism on a scale we

have not before witnessed in America," and is “yet another reminder of the serious threat posed by the Islamic State terrorist group." The Rabbinical Council of America, the leading organization of Orthodox rabbis in North America, expressed its shock as well at the terrorist attack in Orlando. "Murderous attacks in the name of religion are anathema" said RCA president Shalom Baum. "We condemn the philosophy and actions of radical Islamists which are the antithesis of personal responsibility, coexistence, and peace. We call on world leaders to continue the fight to protect innocent people from the violence motivated by ISIS and those sharing its cruel philosophy." "We categorically condemn the hatred and violence perpetrated against the patrons of the Pulse nightclub" said Vice President Elazar Muskin. "No individual or group should be singled out in such a nefarious way. Our deepest condolenc-

es are extended to all the bereaved families, their friends and community, in this time of pain. Our thoughts and prayers for a speedy and full recovery are with all the wounded." Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said his thoughts were with the victims. “Horrified and saddened by the appalling attack at Orlando LGBT nightclub,” he Tweeted. Rabbi Jonah Dov Pesner, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, called the attack another sign of the failure to curb gun violence. “The staggering loss of life, yet again facilitated by a military-style weapon that has no place on the street, causes us deep pain,” Pesner wrote in a press release. “The attack is also further proof, as if any were needed, of the imperative to end the culture of gun violence that grips the nation.” The Israeli-American Council said in a state-

Bklyn Mother of 11 Among the Victims of the Orlando Massacre; NYC Stages Rallies By Rachel Shapiro

“All I ask is for prayers and whatever you can to help me and brothers sisters to be able to pick up the pieces where she left off,” he wrote. “You will forever be in our hearts. Always. I truly love you so much MOM!”

arly on Sunday, June 12, an ISIS wannabe wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub in Florida, before dying in a gunfight with SWAT officers. This is being called the worst mass shooting in American history. Brooklyn native and mother of 11 Brenda McCool was on the dance floor at the Orlando nightclub Pulse, and lost her life in the gun fire. The Post reports, “The 49-year-old McCool posted a 41-second clip of herself doing the salsa with a pal at the gay club in downtown Orlando early Sunday.

This is being called the worst mass shooting in American history. The dimly lit video, which was uploaded at 12:04 a.m. and has more than 28,000 views, shows her moving across the dance floor as colored neon lights flash around her and her

dance partner. Just two hours later, gunman Omar Mateen opened fire in the crowded club — striking McCool twice and killing her.” On a GoFundMe webpage, Farrell Marshall, McCool’s fifth eldest son wrote, “She now leaves 11 children alone on this earth who’s in need of dire help from anyone.” According to Marshall his mother was battling two different types of cancer before her life was suddenly ripped from her. “All I ask is for prayers and whatever you can to help me

and brothers sisters to be able to pick up the pieces where she left off,” he wrote. “You will forever be in our hearts. Always. I truly love you so much MOM!” The grieving family has already received close to $5,000 in donations from over 200 people. The terrorist attack has put people everywhere on high alert. Security has been beefed up across New York City with the deployment of more than 500 anti-terrorism officers on Monday as a precaution.

On Sunday, Mayor Bill de Blasio said that there would be increased security especially at key New York City institutions representing the gay community. The mayor said that even though there were no credible threats, the city would remain on “high alert.” VIN reports: “As the workweek began, law enforcement officials were in Penn Station’s Amtrak area with a machine that’s used for swabbing bags to check for bomb residue. Transportation Security Administration officials, police

and National Guardsmen dressed in fatigues patrolled the station — a fairly familiar sight since 9/11. Security was boosted in response to the shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub that left 49 victims dead. The shooter was gunned down by police. President Barack Obama called it an “act of terror” and an “act of hate.” Law enforcement authorities said the gunman made a 911 call from the club in which he professed allegiance to the Islamic State group.

On Monday evening, de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, both Democrats, were scheduled to attend a community vigil at the Stonewall Inn, which became a national symbol of gay rights after a 1969 police raid led to violent street riots. On Sunday evening, a previously scheduled gay pride month event there took on added resonance in the wake of the shooting. Outside the bar, several hundred people packed the street, chanting, ‘No hate, no hate! More love, more love!’ after hearing from a Muslim emigrant from Lebanon who called herself ‘gender nonconformist.’”

Hedge Fund to Return Assets After NYC Corruption Scandal Becomes Public By: Wilma Freeyansky

latinum Partners, the hedge fund firm linked to a New York City corruption scandal, is returning a majority of its assets to clients, according to a person familiar with the situation. New York-based Platinum told investors on a conference call on Tuesday that recent negative media attention and requests for the return of capital had forced it begin the liquidation of its main Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund, the person said, who requested anonymity because the information is private. The firm is also considering shutting its Platinum Partners Credit Opportunities Fund which controls the balance of Platinum’s more than $1 billion in overall assets. The development comes after the arrest last week of

The development comes after the arrest last week of longtime Platinum associate Murray Huberfeld, who was accused of bribing Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association President Norman Seabrook in return for an investment in Platinum.

longtime Platinum associate Murray Huberfeld, who was accused of bribing Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association President Norman Seabrook in return for an investment in Platinum.

Platinum head Mark Nordlicht said on the conference call that the charges against Huberfeld were unfounded, the person said. Huberfeld, through an attorney, declined to comment

on the charges against him and the Platinum news. According to an article in the New York Post, Murray Huberfeld runs his own charity, the Huberfeld Family Foundation, that has doled out millions of dollars to Orthodox Jewish causes, including synagogues tied to the ChabadLubavitch movement. He’s also a board member of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which runs the Museum of Tolerance in Midtown, and was part of a 40-person delegation that met with Pope Benedict XVI in 2005. During his Vatican visit, Huberfeld told the pontiff that the trip “was particularly meaningful because his mother was hidden and spared extermination by a righteous Christian family during the Holocaust,” according to a post on the Wiesenthal Center’s Web site.

Huberfeld’s personal history also includes a 1992 misdemeanor conviction for having a stand-in take his Series 7 broker-licensing exam, for which he got two years’ probation and a $5,000 fine. According to the complaint against him, cooperating witness Jona Rechnitz told the feds that Huberfeld secretly runs the Platinum Partners hedge fund that he founded, but is “not publicly acknowledged as playing any significant role” due to “a prior lawsuit or investigation relating to a fund Huberfeld previously ran.” An external spokesman for Platinum did not respond to a request for comment. News of the liquidation was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Founded in 2003, Platinum has racked up profits that are the envy of the hedge

fund industry. But its winning strategy of lending to troubled companies carries risks that many institutional investors would just as soon not take.

Concerns Grow for Jewish Man Missing off NY Beach By: A7 Staff

earch and rescue units have been called out along New York’s Atlantic Beach, looking for a paddle boarder last seen Sunday afternoon. The 41-year old man, a Nassau county resident, was spotted by lifeguards on Atlantic Beach at 3:30 p.m., wearing a white t-shirt and blue shorts. At 6:15 the US Coast Guard was notified by family members that the man was missing. The Coast Guard has deployed a number of units to locate the man, including the Coast Guard Cutter Bonito, an

HC-144 search and patrol aircraft, helicopters, patrol boats, and units of local police and fire departments. Lawrence Mayor Martin Oliner, who is currently in Israel for his grandson's Bar Mitzva celebration, has been working round-the-clock to coordinate the massive search effort. Working out of his hotel room in Jerusalem, Oliner has been in touch with search and rescue teams since the man's disappearance on Sunday. “[The missing man] is a family friend. He went out on the water at Atlantic Beach yesterday at around 3 p.m., and no one has seen him since. The Coast Guard is out and all

“I’ve put all my efforts towards making sure that everything possible is being done. We’re terribly concerned about his welfare. The Coast Guard is out conducting a 17-mile search to find him. We really hope that he will be found and rescued.” “Local fire and police departments are out aiding the search. The search includes helicopters and US Coast Guard units. I am trying to guide these search and rescue efforts as much as possible from here in Jerusalem.” The family of Haim Yosef Ben Ester Malka have asked the public to pray for his safe return home.

City Council Approves Time Limits on Landmark Designations Edited by: JV Staff

he City Council has passed Intro. 775 into law last week, by a vote of 38-10. The new law will set deadlines for the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to designate individual landmarks and historic districts. For individual landmarks, the deadline will be one year from the date that the item is placed on the Commission’s calendar, with an option to extend the process for another year with written consent from the owner. For historic districts, the timeframe will be two years, with no option for extension. In all instances, the LPC would be able to re-calendar and reconsider the items at the end of the deadline. The LPC responded to the vote with the following statement,

“We appreciate that that the City Council has made changes to the legislation based on our testimony and suggestions… We believe the legislation as drafted will provide the flexibility necessary for the Commission to fulfill its mandate.” Following the bill’s introduction last year, the Conservancy worked with its sponsors in the Council to improve it. They raised objections to the most onerous aspect, a moratorium which would have prevented LPC from re-calendaring items for five years. The Council removed the moratorium from the bill’s final version. Other improvements included greater flexibility within the one- and two-year deadlines, and the extension for individual landmarks. The Commission will have a deadline of 18 months for items that are currently on the calendar; that provision now also

were considering that extension and other concessions and we are disappointed that last-minute negotiations yielded no agreements. We appreciate that the sponsors were willing to compromise. When the Conservancy testified on the bill last year, the NYLC did not object to deadlines. Prior to 775, we had worked with Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer to craft proposals for LPC reform legislation that included deadlines. The NYLC surveyed colleagues around the country, and found that most landmarks commissions do have deadlines. The LPC has said that it can work within the deadlines. Now that the bill is law, the NYLC will carefully monitor designation activity to ensure that this is the case, and if it is not, they will go back to the Council to request further modifications.

DeBlasio Signs Law Reducing Penalty for Quality of Life Offenses By: Chris McGee

n Monday, Mayor Bill deBlasio placed his John Hancock on eight bills initiated by the New York City Council that would sharply curtail the punishments for a number of quality-of-life offenses such as public urination, consumption of alcoholic beverages and playing excessively loud music from radios civil crimes rather than criminal. Public urination and most

offenses in public parks will be downgraded from misdemeanors to violations and reduces the available jail penalties to just one day for violations. Currently, jail time could stretch up to 90 days for such offenses. Proponents of the new legislation which is known collectively as the “Criminal Justice Reform Act” have asserted that these new measures will help to ease the overwhelming number of cases from the criminal justice system.

Council staffers estimate that the plan will divert more than 100,000 cases from the criminal court system every year, avoid the issuance of 50,000 warrants annually and prevent nearly 10,000 people annually from having permanent criminal records. There are currently 1.5 million open warrants in the city, which has about 8.5 million residents. See DeBlasio Signs Law Reducing , page 39

Concerning the new laws, New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said, “New York City is living up to its highest values.”

Beth Israel Hospital to Sell Gilman Bldg on East Side By: Chuck Esplone

Just last month Mount Sinai announced that it would close the 825-bed Beth Israel Medical Center at First Avenue at 16th Street and reopen a 70-bed hospital and emergency room at 14th Street near Second Avenue by July 2020

t appears that Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan has plans in the works to put its Gilman Building at 353 East 17th Street on the real estate market. Just last month Mount Sinai announced that it would close the 825-bed Beth Israel Medical Center at First Avenue at 16th Street and reopen a 70-bed hospital and emergency room at 14th Street near Second Avenue by July 2020, as was reported by Crain’s. The plan will create a new entity, Mount Sinai Downtown, which will is expected to treat 1 million patients at its clinics and physician practices annually with capacity to serve another 500,000. It will include 600 doctors serving 16 clinics and physician practices. The time frame is optimistic given the regulatory approvals Mount Sinai must receive from the state Depart-

ment of Health, not to mention the construction approvals required from New York City. According to a JP Update report, Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to ensure that the Lower East Side of Manhattan continues to be served with sufficient health care services as Mount Sinai Hospital closes a hospital to open a new one. In a radio interview with WNYC on the Brian Lehrer Show a few weeks ago, de Blasio said that the city plans to have “a very hands-on approach” in ensuring that the local community still gets sufficient healthcare services. “What I want to make sure is that there is ample healthcare for that community, and that the public’s needs are recognized,” the mayor said. “And this time, what I can say Brian is that unlike in the past – I mean when I was involved in some of these issues in the past, there was

no plan, no rhyme or reason, the City had a hands-off approach – we’re going to have a very hands-on approach to making sure that whatever happens here includes the kind of healthcare the community needs. We have to guarantee that the community around Beth Israel has what it needs.” Lower Manhattan is served by just one other hospital with emergency medical services – the New York-Presbyterian/ Lower Manhattan Hospital, which has 170 beds. In recent years, other hospitals in the New York City area have shuttered, especially those operated by the Archdiocese of New York. St. Vincent’s Hospital in Greenwich Village closed its doors in 2010 after operating for more than 150 years. If the New York City Council should give its imprimatur, it appears that whomever would purchase the Beth Israel building could possi-

bly also buy air rights from Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village; adjacent housing projects. When the Blackstone Group and Ivanhoe Cambridge bought the complex in December, the de Blasio administration pledged to support an air rights sale in return for affordability concessions and a commitment not to build on the Stuy Town site, according to the Real Deal report. Eastdil Secured’s Doug Harmon is marketing the property. It was unclear what the building is expected to sell for. Amid a shortage of vacant lots, hospitals make an attractive target for developers. For example, in 2014, Fortis Property Group paid $240 million for the Long Island College Hospital in Cobble Hill, where it plans to build residential towers, according to a report in the New York Post.

Divorcing Real Estate Mogul Macklowe Kept Girlfriend in Park Ave Pad for 2 Years By Mark Snyder

t has been revealed that real estate mogul Harry Macklowe’s French girlfriend who is replacing his wife of 57 years, is not a new love interest. Sources told Page Six that Macklowe has been secretly putting up his girlfriend in a Park Avenue apartment for as long as two years. After news broke of the 79-year-old’s impending blockbuster divorce from his

lowe, sources contacted Page Six to reveal that Macklowe had been putting up his girlfriend Patricia Landeau in an apartment in the Macklowe Properties-owned 737 Park Ave for the last two years. The source said, “It was no secret in the building that the woman was Harry Macklowe’s girlfriend, and she’s been coming and going for two years. Whether he was living a double life with the girlfriend, or his wife knew about her all along, nobody quite knows.” It was about two weeks ago that Macklowe revealed to his wife that he was breaking up with her to be with his girlfriend, Patricia Landeau, president of the French Friends of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Memorial Day weekend, multiple sources spotted Harry out on the town in the Hamptons with his beautiful new

French girl on his arm. A source told Page Six,

Real estate magnate Harry Macklowe is leaving his wife of 57 years for another woman.

“Harry told his wife last week he was divorcing her — completely out of the blue — then moved straight in with his girlfriend. This is a total shock to everybody because he’s been married

to Linda a long time. Harry is almost 80, he’s been married for [almost] 60 years, and suddenly he has a girlfriend. And he’s been running around town and the Hamptons with her.” Page Six reported: “Another source said, ‘He could have handled it better . . . it’s so in Linda’s face.’ (Harry’s wellknown for sharing a home with Linda on Georgica Pond, where he famously feuded with neighbor Martha Stewart.) The first source added of the Macklowes: ‘This is going to be a blockbuster divorce: There’s a few billion dollars at play here, plus an astonishing art collection.’ Harry and Linda’s art collection — spearheaded by Guggenheim Foundation trustee Linda — is worth a reported $1 billion and includes pieces by Franz Kline, Mark Rothko and Gerhard Richter. Harry’s current

real estate projects include 432 Park Ave.” Macklowe is known for developing the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue and once owning the GM Building. The Macklowes are regulars at the Israel Museum’s New York gala and make donations to it. Ironically, it was at one of the museum events, where Harry met his new love interest Landeau. One of Page Six’s sources described Landeau, saying, “It’s not like she’s so young . . . she has four kids. But she’s French, blond and very attractive.” Page Six reports, “Sources said Harry — whose fortune was once estimated at $2 billion — and Linda do not have a pre-nup, setting the scene for an epic divorce battle. Their art collection’s said to be worth $1 billion alone.”

Danny Danon Makes History; Israel Elected to UNGA Committee By: Joe Kadinsky

T “This is a historic achievement for Israel,” said Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon. “I am very proud to be the first Israeli to serve as the chairman of a committee.”

he U.N. General Assembly elected Israel to chair one of its six major committees for the first time on Monday, a decision cheered by supporters for the Jewish State and denounced by the Palestinians and Arab nations. In the secret ballot election in the 193-member world body, Israel received 109 “yes” votes. Nobody voted against Israel but there were 23 abstentions, 14 invalid ballots, and 43 votes for other countries in the Western European and Others group which nominated Israel to chair the

assembly committee dealing with legal issues. “This is a historic achievement for Israel,” said Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon. “I am very proud to be the first Israeli to serve as the chairman of a committee.” Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour strongly objected, saying the group should have nominated “a very responsible qualified candidate, not a big violator of international law.” Mr. Danon “represents occupation” and is not qualified to chair the committee, Mr. Mansour said. “This is negative. This is destructive. This is showing lack of sensitivity to

ollowing its $2 billion merger with DTZ last year, Cushman & Wakefield is negotiating for a new, consolidated headquarters to anchor L&L Holding’s unique overhaul of 390 Madison Avenue, sources told The Real Deal. Cushman has a term sheet

out on several floors at the bottom of the mid-century property, which was formerly known as 380 Madison before L&L embarked on a plan to strip it down to its core and build it back up as a modern 32-story office tower, according to multiple sources. A representative for L&L did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but

a spokesperson for Cushman said the company is currently focused on integrating its offices and finalizing its real estate strategy. “No final location decisions have been made at this time, including remaining at our premium location at 1290 See Cushman Negotiating for New HQ , page 38

our concerns.” The Israeli Ambassador said “it was a pitiful moment” to see some Arab countries trying to block Israel. “As the chairman of the committee I will work with all member states, including those who didn’t vote for me today, and they will have to decide whether they will come to promote the real goals of the United Nations,” Mr. Danon said.

The legal committee deals with U.N. activities related to international law and the Israeli Ambassador said one of his first tasks will be to advance the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. Israel, the United States and others have for years decried what they see as an entrenched bias in United Nations institutions against Israel and an obsession with the Pal-

estinian issue at the expense of other crises around the globe. They point to numerous resolutions targeting Israel in the Geneva-based Human Rights Council and in the General Assembly. So Monday’s action in the Assembly was a rare victory for Israel, though it won in a vote while the five other committee chairs were elected by consensus. (The Hindu)

Delayed Upgrading to LaGuardia Airport Finally Under Way By Anat Ghelber

aGuardia Airport, which had been previously described as something out of the “Third World” by Vice President Joe Biden, is finally getting its long delayed upgrade. The plan, which was estimated to cost $4 billion is expected to severely reduce flight delays and help get the airport into the 21st century, according to officials. A previous dispute had arisen in regards to members not having enough time to look over details that had been newly released and specific changes of the project according

to John Degnan, chairman of the Port Authority board. He made these announcements during a board meeting. “There are myriad issues involved, and the board should be entitled to more time to review the resolutions,” he said. The rebuilding of LaGuardia Airport had been announced by Gov. Cuomo and Vice President Joe Biden last Summer. Included in the plans for the upgrading of LaGuardia will be a new terminal that will be 600 feet closer to the Grand Central Parkway and allow 240 percent more space for runways and flight operations.

Also intended to be built will be pedestrian bridges to gates that will allow aircraft to taxi underneath, as well as a brand new security system that will drastically decrease any passenger wait times. Retail shops and boutiques are intended to be included in a new Central Hall that will include a 200 room boutique hotel. It is expected that an increase in passengers from roughly 27 million in 2014 to 35 million will occur when construction is finished. The massive work expected to be done on the airport will lead to the creation of 8,000

construction jobs and 18,000 permanent jobs at the airport as well as in businesses that cater to the airport. According to Vice President Biden, these will be “Middle-class jobs. Jobs you can raise a family on.” Construction on the new airport will begin with tearing down a few gates at a time until all of the main Terminal B is rebuilt. According to Port Authority executive director Pay Foye, the first brand new gates should be able to be accessed by passengers and planes in about two years, “The airport is going to continue to operate,” said Foye.

“This is La Guardia. You can’t shut it down.” Governor Cuomo had this to say about the upgrading of New York City’s iconic airport, “La Guardia has been unacceptable for a long time. It’s certainly not of New York quality. We’re not replicating what was. This is virtually blank-slate, brand new.” The financing of such a massive project was finalized by La Guardia Gateway Partners. who now have a 35-year lease on the property after taking control from The Port Authority. The Port Authority will pay about 50 percent of the rebuild

costs. Plans were announced last summer but details could not be hashed out during the Spring. Construction on La Guardia will begin in March 2017. At the moment, $2.5 billion has already been raised for the construction. La Guardia Gateway Partners will provide an additional $1.8 billion, and the Port Authority will contribute $2.2 billion. LaGuardia Gateway is expected to accept part of any revenue created at the new terminal from tenants and airline fees. They will then be responsible for keeping an eye on construction and making sure it is done on time.

Waldorf Astoria May Convert 1,000 Rooms into Luxury Condos Anbang Insurance Group bought the 47-story hotel for $1.95 billion in 2014 By: Joe Anuta

he owner of the 47-story Waldorf Astoria New York may be planning to convert about 1,000 hotel rooms at the landmarked property into luxury condos, according to several sources. China-based Anbang Insurance Group purchased the hotel, located at 301 Park Ave., for $1.95 billion in late 2014. After the transaction closed months later, the firm's chairman, Wu Xiaohui, alluded to conversion plans for the structure's two towers without delving into specifics. According to sources, Anbang's vision is now coming into focus. Out of the hotel's nearly 1,400 hotel rooms, the company may be gearing up to convert about 1,000 of them into luxury condos. A conversion of that scale would be consistent with a filing Anbang submitted to the city in early 2015, when it subdivided the building into different sections for condos, a hotel and retail. Anbang set aside 1.2 million square feet— approximately 75% of the building—for residential use, according to the document filed with the city's Department of Finance, though it did

not specify how much space would be used for amenities or for hotel ballrooms. A spokesman for Anbang said the filing was made over a year ago as part of the purchase process, and didn't actually reflect what would be done with the site. "We continue to explore all options, and no definitive plans have been finalized at this time," the spokes-

man said in a statement. Currently, the Waldorf is split into two sections: the 1,232-room hotel itself and a 181-room boutique hotel called the Towers, which has its own entrance on East 50th Street and also features a number of one- and two-bedroom rentals. See Waldorf Astoria May , page 37

Ralph Lauren Closing Stores Amid Economic Hardships By Anat Ghelber

alph Lauren is having an economical breakdown. With more than 50 stores closing due to an "amazing" decrease in market trading. Included in the saving plan is letting go of almost 8% of its full time workers. The company hopes to save between $180 to $200 million dollars in fiscal year 2017 as a result of this saving strategy plan. CEO Stefan Larsson, who took over from founder Ralph Lauren, is planning on taking the company to the next step meaning focusing on their main brands and bringing a more up to date fashion trades to their lovely shoppers. “The business has struggled over the last three years. We have to do a better job to give the consumer something really exciting,” said Larsson. Ralph Lauren has built its fashion empire on the staples like denim shirts and jeans and branded polo shirts. But, with falling sales and profits, change has become inevitable. The all-American company has struggled to deal with swiftly changing retail trends and different style preferences by consumers. Profits for Ralph Lauren have fallen by more than %22 not including charges for restructuring. Stocks of the company have fallen by almost %48 from a pricing high of $182.74 in De-

The passion and intensity in [Murray’s] music touched me, made me think, reflect, tremble at the ability a person can possess- it made me realize a person has a responsibility to live up to that potential. It was a moving experience that has taught me and given me a sense of urgency to work harder.” - Ely Harary out the audacious goal that we would land a man on the moon in less than 10 years’ time. Did we know how to do this when President John F. Kennedy set his daring goal? We did not, but we had the belief as a nation that with focus and ingenuity we could get it done. Sure enough, on July 20th, 1969, we did it and showed the world that we could overcome incredible odds and hurdles and be first to the moon. Our society has also overcome major diseases once thought impossible to prevent or treat. Polio used to haunt our grandparents and afflict millions of people around the world. Today, we do not worry about our kids getting this dreaded disease since Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin developed the vaccine that protects us against it. As recently as 1988 there were 350,000 polio cases worldwide. This past year there were only 75 cases across the globe! When the scourge of HIV first emerged in the 1980’s, it killed with ferocity and images of dying AIDS patients haunted the news. Prediction for the deaths of tens to hundreds of millions emerged. Yet by the late 90’s researchers realized that a mixture of drugs could manage the HIV virus and prevent HIV from developing into AIDS in the patient. Many HIV+ individuals on the medicine combo today have levels of the virus so low as to be almost undetectable. These three examples demonstrate an enduring point.

Feds Complete $28M Sand Erosion Project At Sea Gate By: Andrea Karshan

bevy of Brooklyn’s federal lawmakers joined with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) officials yesterday to announce they have completed the $28 million multiyear sand erosion project that will increase resiliency and reduce the risks coastal storms pose to residents and businesses on Coney Island. The sand restoration project took place on the private gated community of Sea Gate, which is on the extreme western end of Coney Island. Engineers have deemed that shoring up this end of Coney Island will also prevent sand erosion from the Coney Island Public Beach and surrounding beaches, which played a key role in helping to mitigate storm surge damage during Hurricane Sandy. The project is federally funded through the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, the Sandy Relief Bill (Public Law 113-2). “The completion of the Coney Island coastal protection project is great news and will provide desperately-needed security against future storms and floods for the people of Coney Island and Sea Gate,” said U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer. “Making Coney Island’s waterfront

neighborhoods and beaches more resilient and secure was a very worthy effort, and I am proud to be a part of this terrific accomplishment.” Joining Schumer for the announcement were Congress members Jerrold Nadler and Hakeem Jeffries. Nadler

Brooklyn Pols React To Florida Mass Murder By: Kings County Politics Staff

rooklyn’s lawmakers and officials called for the country to pull together and to toughen gun laws in the wake of Sunday morning’s terrorist attack targeting gays and lesbians which took at least 49 lives and injured dozens more at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Kings County Party Democratic Chair Frank Seddio: “Little did we know as we celebrated the Pride parade on Saturday night in Brooklyn that we were about to experience such a horrific attack at an Orlando night club. It was an attack not only on the LGBT community but on the values of tolerance and acceptance that unite us. It is long past time to address our insane laws that allow people to so easily buy weapons of war. Freedom comes with responsibility, including reasonable regulations that protect Americans against the easy accessibility to the kinds of arms that have no place in a civilized society.

in this morning’s horrific massacre in Orlando. We must band together and turn our anger into action. We must stand up against hate, intolerance, and gun violence. While the investigation is ongoing, we cannot ignore that the alleged attacker targeted a gay nightclub. This month, as we march in the Pride Parade and celebrate Pride Month, we will do so in the memories of those lost their lives. We cannot ignore that he supposedly had an assault-style rifle, weapons that are legal in the United States. We not only stand in unity with Orlando, but we stand ready to take action.” Congressman Dan Donovan (Southern Brooklyn, Staten Island): “Last night’s massacre looks to be the worst terror attack in the United States since 9/11. Investigators are still gathering information, but it’s clear that our way of life came under attack yet again. I’m praying today for those injured and for the families of the deceased. Our freedom and culture will never yield to the hateful violence of radical Islamic terror.” (Kings County Politics)

"I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the outrageous terrorist shootings that took the lives of at least four innocent civilians and wounded at least twenty others in Tel Aviv yesterday," he wrote. "The Israeli security forces’ investigation is ongoing, but some facts have already emerged — and they are grim. "Just as fast as the condolences arrive from the civilized world is the praise arising out of the uncivilized one. Hamas praised the attack, calling the attackers 'heroes.' Reports out of Hebron indicate that residents of the terrorists’ hometown lit up the night sky with celebratory fireworks. One Palestinian 'news organization' even referred to the shootings, in which the assailants dressed up as observant Jews, as a 'Ramadan treat.'

Obama 'Fired Up' About Clinton's Bid for White House By: Mary Alice Salinas

resident Obama formally endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton after meeting last Thursday with her rival, Bernie Sanders, in a bid to unite the party and defeat controversial Republican Donald Trump. In videotaped remarks released by the Clinton campaign, Obama said he knows how difficult it is to be president, and that is why he knows his former secretary of state is capable of doing the job. “In fact, I don’t think there has ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Obama said. “She’s got the courage, the compassion and the heart to get the job done.” The White House said Obama would campaign with Clinton for the first time during an appearance in Wisconsin on Wednesday. Obama carried that state in both general elections when he ran for president. “I am with her. I am fired up and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary,” the president said.

“I am with her. I am fired up and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary,” the president said.

The official endorsement came after Obama held a onehour Oval Office meeting with Sanders, the impassioned Vermont senator who has won the support of millions of people, especially younger voters.

Clinton’s admission is the first acknowledgement by the likely Democratic nominee that the foundation, chaired by her husband, former president Bill Clinton, received money from foreign sources off the books. Speaking on CNN, the former First Lady responded to accusations by GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump that Clinton had used her position in the State Department to provide political favors to foreign interest in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation. “[T]he Russians, the Saudis, and the Chinese all gave money to Bill and Hillary and got favorable treatment in return,” Trump said on Tuesday. Clinton claimed “overwhelming disclosure” saying that the bulk of donations were reported to the State Department during her tenure. When pressed by CNN host Anderson Cooper, who noted examples of the foundation’s lack of transparency, Clinton admitted that in “one or two instances” some donations “slipped through the cracks”. Citing donations including a large sum received from Algeria, Cooper noted the foundation’s failure to disclose donations. ocratic convention in July.

Tens of millions of dollars have come from a Canadian partnership whose donors can remain secret. There was a large donation from Algeria that wasn't submitted to State Department for approval.

Whether terrorism strikes in Brussels, Paris, Tel Aviv, or Orlando – responsible leaders, policymakers, and moral people everywhere have a duty to speak out forcefully against this global evil, and to stand against the hateful ideology that fuels it. This is a growing danger that threatens innocents everywhere.” The National Council of Jewish Women condemned the mass shooting in a statement released Sunday evening. “We are all wounded by the fear engendered by gun attacks on civilians and by the menace of prejudice that too often endangers individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer and threatens members of the Latino community,” the group’s statement said. “NCJW is guided by Jewish values, including the Talmudic teaching that for ‘one

"On behalf of the people and government of Israel, I extend our deepest condolences to the American people following last night's horrific attack on the LGBT community in Orlando," Netanyahu said in a statement. "Israel stands shoulder to shoulder with the United States at this moment of tragic loss." Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein expressed his condolences to Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan over the deadly shooting as well. “On behalf of all the members of the Israeli Knesset, I would like to express our condolences and to join in the great sorrow of the tragedy that befell you and the deaths of innocent people from this crime,” said Edelstein to his US counterpart Speaker Ryan. “Terrorism strikes everywhere and it does not differentiate between Orlando to

and all we can do is to join hands in the fight against global terrorism,” added Edelstein. The city of Tel Aviv also lit its municipal building in the colors of the LGBT and American flags in solidarity with Orlando. Central Florida’s Jewish community started laying the groundwork for interfaith cooperation with Muslims Monday as the nation reeled in grief and anger, according to a report in The Forward. Rabbi Steven Engel of the Congregation for Reform Judaism, the largest synagogue in Orlando, and Imam Muhammad Masri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, spoke by phone to plan a joint memorial service for the victims at the Pulse nightclub attack, which was carried out by an American Muslim with roots in Afghanistan. “(We want) to support each other, to support the whole community,” Masri said outside the bullet-scarred club on a busy Orlando artery. As was reported by the Forward, Rep. Alan Grayson, the first Jewish congressman from central Florida, called the mass shooting a challenge for America to protect itself without discarding our basic constitutional values. “We don’t engage in preventive detention here, that’s unconstitutional. We don’t engage in racial profiling or religious profiling – that’s unconstitutional,” Grayson said. “There’s not much to do except to watch people like that as closely as we can.” Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders led a chorus of Jewish political, religious and cultural leaders who expressed outrage at gun violence. “All Americans are horri-

GOP nominee Donald Trump issued his statement on his web site which said: “My deepest sympathy and support goes out to the victims, the wounded, and their families. In his remarks, President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words 'Radical Islam'. For that reason alone, he should step down. If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'Radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the Presidency. If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore. The terrorist, Omar Mir Saddique Mateen, is the son of an immigrant from Afghanistan who openly published his support for the Afghanistani Taliban and even tried to run for President of Afghanistan. According to Pew, 99% of people in Afghanistan support oppressive Sharia Law. We admit more than 100,000 lifetime migrants from the Middle East each year. Since 9/11, hundreds of migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United States.

He appears to have been an angry, disturbed, unstable young man who became radicalized." The president also blasted Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric as dangerous and contrary to American values, challenged Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban, and lashed out at his Republican foes who have criticized him for not using the term "radical Islam." "If someone seriously thinks we don't know who we're fighting, if there's anyone out there who thinks we're confused about who our enemies are," Obama said, "that would come as a surprise to the thousands of terrorists we've taken off the battlefield."

By the time the bill was voted on and approved by the Assembly last week, however, it had been largely stripped of its original content, resulting in a vague piece of legislation bereft of any reference to Israel or the BDS movement it was intended to combat. The title of the bill, originally named the “California Combating the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions of Israel Act”, was changed to “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions of Recognized Sovereign Nations or Peoples Act”. The new version gives no

special protections to California trade partners – including Israel, which signed a memorandum on trade and technology in 2014 with California Governor Jerry Brown – or American allies in general. Most importantly, the new bill drops the prohibition on state agencies to do business with companies boycotting Israel. Instead, it gives discretionary powers to the state attorney general to bar individual companies supporting boycotts on a case by case basis. The bill must still pass the State Senate, where

Bloom hopes it will be amended once again and returned to its original state. “The bill came out with amendments that really, in my view, took the whole meaning away from the bill, stripped out all references to Israel and all of the important operative language, and turned it into something very different,” Bloom told the Jewish Journal. “This needs to happen in the Senate and then come back. If we can’t get it done, you won’t see it again.” See California Democrats Neuter , page 38

The Euro 2016 Terror Threat Explained Tense France, recently rocked by terror, is to host 2 million visitors for major soccer championship. What exactly is liable to happen? By A7 Staff

rance is on a high terror alert as it prepares to host Euro 2016 from Friday with the month long event predicted to attract two million visitors. With matches spread across 10 venues in nine cities, the country is under a state of emergency and security forces have launched an enormous operation to prevent any repeat of the jihadist attacks in Paris last November. Here are the stakes:

UN Sec. Gen. ‘Shocked’ that Hamas Praised Terror Attack By Jesse Lempel

an Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations, condemned the terror attack in Tel Aviv that killed four Israelis on Wednesday, June 8, adding that he is “shocked that the leaders of Hamas have chosen to welcome this attack” and accusing Palestinians of “incitement that fuels” terrorism. “The Secretary-General reiterates that there is no justification for terrorism nor for the glorification of those who commit such heinous acts,” said a statement issued by the spokesperson of the secretary general on Wednesday. After two Palestinian cousins dressed in suits opened fire on a crowd of Israelis dining and shopping at the upscale central Tel Aviv Sarona Market complex on Wednesday, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh took to Twitter to celebrate the attack and call the terrorists “heroes.” Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, issued a statement in English saying that “Hamas hailed the resistance operation” in Tel Aviv “in which four Zionist squatters were killed and others wounded.” As news of the attack broke, spontaneous celebrations erupted in Palestinian communities across Judea and

Shehab News Agency, a Palestinian news site thought to be affiliated with Hamas, even posted a video glorifying the murderers to its Facebook page – which boasts nearly 6 million likes – reenacting the attack (complete with dining at a restaurant and dressing up as ultra-Orthodox Jews, as some initially reported the terror-

ists had done). The video was removed from Facebook but remains on Shehab’s Twitter account: The Palestinian Authority president’s office issued a statement on Thursday saying it “rejects violence against civilians regardless of its source” – though immediately following the attack President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party took to its official Twitter account to say that “Israel is reaping the repercussions of violence against the Palestinian people” and describing the shooting as a “natural and automatic response” to Israel’s actions.

France implemented "Operation Vigipirate" emergency measures after the jihadist attacks on Charlie Hebdo magazine and a Jewish supermarket in January 2015, with 10,000 troops deployed at sensitive locations such as tourist spots and Jewish sites. Following the November attacks, a state of emergency was declared, allowing police to raid homes and hold people under house arrest with minimal judicial oversight. It was extended for a third time in May, to cover Euro 2016 and the Tour de France cycle race in July. Some 3,500 searches have been carried out, at least 56 suspects taken into custody and 69 people placed under house arrest, the government said in April. (INN)

French Police Attacker Claimed Allegiance to IS By: Lisa Bryant

rance’s President Francois Hollande Tuesday denounced the stabbing death of two police officials outside Paris, as the country hosts the Euro 2016 football championship. The suspect, Larossi Abballa, claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group and had a record of radicalism. Speaking at an international meeting in Paris Tuesday, French President Francois Hollande called the murders of two police officials just hours before as incontestably a terrorist act. He said the assailant had wanted to be known as a terrorist and the organization to which he claimed allegiance had itself claimed responsibility for the act. He said the international

community must act together to fight terrorism. The suspect had pledged loyalty to the leader of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. Abballa, first stabbed to death a police officer outside the officer's home in the Paris suburb of Magnanville. He then barricaded himself inside the house and killed the officer’s partner, after taking her and the couple’s three-year-old son hostage. The boy was rescued.

Islamic State claims responsibility Police sources cited by the media said the man posted video of the attack on Facebook and claimed allegiance to the Islamic

State group during the hostage negotiations. Witnesses also say he may have shouted “Allah Akbar” as he killed one of the police officers. The Islamic State group's news agency "Amaq" has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Islamic State has not officially announced that the assailant belonged to the militant group. The prosecutor's spokeswoman, Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, said French authorities have "no reason" to doubt the claim. According to media reports, Abballa lived in the Paris suburb of Mantes La Jolie, and had been jailed a few years ago for helping Islamist militants go to Pakistan. More recently, he was reportedly implicated in an inquiry involving a Syrian jihadist network. Islamist specialist Mathieu Guidere told French radio that the apparent pattern of events — with the assailant first claiming responsibility and IS then reiterating that claim — shows how the terrorist group can now react almost immediately on social networks rather than relying on traditional media. The assault comes just after a man shot dead 49 people in Orlando, Florida. France remains under a state of emergency since last November’s attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says 100 people have been arrested so far this year for representing security threats.

Knesset Committee Lowers Legal Gun Ownership Age Limit

Senior Hamas Commander 'Defects to Israel'

MK Hamad Amar praises bill lowering age for Israelis who serve in IDF to acquire guns to 20, says no relation between legal firearms, crime.

Reports from Gaza suggest senior Hamas military commander may have handed himself in to Israel - along with a wealth of intelligence.

By: Hezki Baruch

he Knesset Interior Committee on Tuesday lowered the minimum age at which Israeli civilians can acquire a firearms license, in the latest measure enabling civilians to legally arm themselves following the recent brutal wave of terrorist knife, gun and car-ramming attacks. The Committee approved lowering the age by one year from 21 to 20 - for Israelis who served in the army or security forces. Israeli citizens who did not perform military service can still apply for a gun license if they have a valid exemption, but only aged 27. MK Hamad Amar (Yisrael Beytenu) was among the supporters of the motion. He told Arutz Sheva that in his view, the minimum age should be lowered still further. "We need to lower the age to 19, because it can't be that a young man who performs compulsory military service and finishes basic training, commanders course and sometimes even officers course, cannot bear arms," Amar told Arutz Sheva. Amar further noted that soldiers receive other benefits in recognition of their service, and

enabling young men and women who risk their lives to fight for their country to adequately protect themselves off duty is at least as important. "If a soldier can get a permit to work (outside of the army), why not enable him to work in (private) security," he asked, referring to army policy allowing soldiers who need to support their families to work while off duty. Currently, those still below the minimum age to acquire a private sidearm are unable to work in private security, since

such employment would require a civilian permit. "My position was not accepted but I still commend this bill," Amar stated. "We are a terrorism-stricken country and we are obligated to protect our citizens, and I think that every soldier or citizen who is able to bear arms should have a gun. "And the state should enable (citizens) to be armed" in order that they should have the ability to defend themselves, their families and fellow citizens he added. Many of the recent spate of knife attacks have indeed been stopped by armed civilians prior to the arrival of police or security forces. Amar brushed aside claims by anti-gun lobbyists that an increase in legal firearm ownership would lead to an increase in gun crime. The MK noted that the vast majority of gun crime in Israel - where legal private gun ownership stands at only around 4%, and where applications are subjected to rigorous screening - is in fact carried out with illegally-owned weapons. "Most of the murders are committed with illegal weapons, and there is no connection between legal weapons and an increase in violent incidents," Amar insisted. (INN)

BREAKING NEWS!

By: Ari Soffer

senior commander in Hamas's elite commando unit has handed himself over to Israel, according to sources inside Gaza cited by Channel 2. Reports of his surrender to Israel have been circulating in Gaza ever since the commander - a member the elite "Nahba" unit of Hamas's military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades - went missing several days ago. The Nahba spearheads Hamas's tunnel warfare capabilities, and is specifically tasked with capturing IDF soldiers. The missing commander is reportedly from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, and the son of a prominent judge on Hamas's Sharia religious court. According to Channel 2, a number of different "versions" of his disappearance are making the rounds in Gaza. Hamas, for its part, maintains he was captured by Israeli security forces, who have nabbed a number of (generally more junior) Hamas operatives involved in tunnel digging over the past several months. But other sources say he

told his family he was going for a hike and would return by evening - only to cross over the border into Israel. Either way, capturing such a senior Hamas commander would represent a major intelligence coup for Israeli security services. If confirmed, the unnamed commander would be the second senior Al Qassam Brigades terrorist captured by Israel in recent months, after Mohammed Atounah was captured as he allegedly crossed

the border into Israel to carry out a terrorist attack. Atounah's capture provided Israel with a wealth of information about Hamas's tunnel network, preparations for future battle with Israel and overall military capabilities. His capture, together with that of several other Qassam Brigades commanders and other Israeli intelligence measures, have enabled the IDF to locate and destroy two terror tunnels into Israel in May.

Bibi and NATO Reps Commit To Israeli President: I’m Not a ‘Post-Zionist’ Mutual Cooperation in Fighting Terror By: Michael Zeff

By: Jonathan Benedek

rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with ambassadors from NATO countries earlier on Tuesday to discuss expanding cooperation between Israel and NATO against the common threat of global terrorism. “There are so many threats that are facing NATO that are similar to the ones facing Israel,” said Danish Ambassador to Israel Jesper Vahr whose embassy is currently NATO’s contact point embassy in Israel. During the press conference, Ambassador Vehr shared a message with Prime Minister Netanyahu on behalf of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg who said that Israel and NATO face common threats. “Today our nations face greater, more complex threats than they have in many years,” Vehr said on behalf of Stoltenberg. “It is right that those countries that share common values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law work together for the good of us all.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with ambassadors from NATO countries earlier on Tuesday to discuss expanding cooperation between Israel and NATO against the common threat of global terrorism.

Netanyahu concurred with Ambassador Vehr and Secretary General Stoltenberg and also expressed his belief in mutual cooperation between Israel and NATO. “Israel has much to contribute to NATO. I believe NATO has much to contribute to Israel,” said the prime minister. “We’ve already begun that process, but I think we can extend and increase our cooperation.” Although not a member of the NATO alliance, Israel has already played an integral role as a member of NATO’s Mediterranean Dialogue, a working group between NATO and seven Mediterranean coun-

tries focused on maintaining security in the Mediterranean region. “Israel for many years has been an active member of NATO’s Mediterranean Dialogue, the only security forum that brings together NATO allies with Israel and Arab countries. Last month, NATO and Israel went further, agreeing to establish an Israeli mission at NATO,” Ambassador Vehr said. “Having a mission will help us to take our political and practical cooperation to a higher level.” Official authorization See Bibi and NATO Reps Commit , page 37

sraeli President Reuven Rivlin hosted a discussion of shared national identity and citizenship between Israeli Arabs and Jews during the opening of the annual Herzliya Conference at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem on Tuesday. Rivlin rebutted critics who claimed he is a “post-Zionist” for inclusive remarks he made towards Israeli Arabs in a speech at the conference one year ago. “Some people called me a ‘post-Zionist,” said Rivlin. “To them I say that I am a Zionist because I believe in the need for a Jewish home, and because I believe that the state of Israel is where the Israeli people can express their return to the land in its purest form.” “But do I expect all the residents to be Zionists? No,” added Rivlin. The Herzliya Conference is an annual gathering organized and moderated by the Institute for Policy and Strategy at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya. It is held under the IDC’s academic auspices and

draws senior Israeli and international participants from government, business, and academia to address pressing national, regional and global issues. This year’s conference – titled “Shared Israeli Hope: Vision or Dream?” – tackles issues of a possible shared national identity between Israeli Jews and Israeli Arab citizens. While the conference is traditionally opened by the president of Israel, this is the first time the president hosted the opening event at his own residence. During his opening speech, Rivlin related his encounter with Israeli Arab school children a few weeks prior. “A few weeks ago I visited

a school and an Arab girl said to me, ‘I’m an Israeli citizen and want to identify with the state. But what can I do, my “soul yearns” but is not “Jewish.” So I want you to tell me, what is my place?’” recounted Rivlin, referring to a line in the Israeli national anthem which reads “the Jewish soul yearns [for Zion].” “Personally, I am moved every time the flag is raised. But I understood this girl’s questions,” Rivlin said. “And there are non-Zionist Jews, too. Are they less Israeli?

I truly understand what they’re going through because I went through exactly the same thing,” Books said in an interview with Tazpit Press Service (TPS). “Even with all the pain, you have to go on and you have to realize that the ones who survived are still alive.” On August 1, 2009 a shooter stormed into Barnoar (meaning “Youth Bar”), a gay youth group meeting in Tel Aviv, where he fired rounds killing two and leaving 15 injured. The gunman escaped and the case remains unsolved. Books was struck by a bullet in the spine and left paralyzed from the waist down. “There will always be hate,” Books said. “I’m in a wheelchair but I don’t let it stop my life – I move on, I just live. I understand it’s not easy. It’s a matter of willpower.” It was just after 2 a.m. when Omar Mateen opened fire on Orlando’s Pulse night-

Though the Orlando terrorist seemed to have ties to radical Islam, and Books is convinced that the shooter of the gay youth bar in Tel Aviv was a Jewish extremist – nevertheless, Books sees a common thread in the two attacks: “It’s all hate,” Books explained to TPS. The Orlando massacre comes less than a week after the terror attack by two Palestinian gunmen at Tel Aviv’s Sarona Market, which killed 4

Israelis and injured eleven. As news of the shooting broke in Israel, there were outpourings of support for Orlando throughout the country – especially in Tel Aviv, where city hall was lit up with the image of the Israeli, American, and rainbow flags. “We share in the sorrow, we face identical enemies in the form of radical islam,” said Knesset Member Michael Oren to TPS. “We share common enemies who seek to destroy us because of our values including our respect for LGBT rights.” “We are all shocked at the See For Gay Israelis, Orlando , page 38

sraeli officials expressed outrage last week over former South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s nomination of Marwan Barghouti, a convicted Palestinian terrorist, for the Nobel Peace Prize last Monday. Barghouti was convicted in 2004 of ordering the murder of five Israeli citizens and is now serving five life sentences. Gilad Erdan, Israel’s minister of public security, and Eli Ben-Dahan, the deputy defense minister, blasted Tutu’s nomination of Barghouti in remarks to Tazpit Press Service (TPS) last Wednesday. “The attempt to make the arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti a legitimate nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize is ridiculous and poses a moral contradiction for anyone who wants peace,” Erdan told TPS in a statement communicated through his spokesman, Shai Mordov. “Barghouti is an abhorrent terrorist who is responsible for the murder of innocents and belongs in jail for the rest of his life.

Barghouti’s way leads to the death of innocents.” “The very mention of his name in the same sentence as the Nobel Peace Prize is a ridiculous insult to the prize,” added Ben-Dahan. Tutu, recipient of the No-

bel Peace Prize in 1984 for his efforts in ending South African apartheid, wrote a letter on Monday to the Norwegian Nobel Committee nominating Barghouti for the prestigious prize, describing him as “a symbol of the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom.” “Marwan is also an active advocate and defender of democracy and human rights, including women’s rights, and of pluralism, both religious and political, in a region and a world that desperately needs such advocates,” Tutu wrote.

Letters to the Editor Orlando Massacre: The Unanswered Questions Dear Editor, In the confused aftermath of this weekend's horrific Islamic attack in Orlando, there are many questions that pop up for which we probably never will receive proper answers. We are certain however of one thing and one thing only: The federal government, especially this one, can never be relied upon to give us the truth. We will receive politically correct "facts" tainted by political correctness and with an eye toward keeping the American public confused and ignorant of the situation regarding the dangers to us from Islam, its foot soldiers within and those being brought into our communities on a daily and secretive basis. 1. Why is it that in the confined, congested nightclub there was not a normal reaction of the "pack mentality" whereby the massive number of potential victims did not attack and overpower the single Muslim shooter? The 9-11 victims on the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania did just that. 2. How is it that Omar the Shooter was employed as a security agent by the security firm G4S which had contracts with the federal government? He was therefore, under the umbrella of Homeland Security. Yet he was able to acquire a license to own and carry firearms. and keep under the radar. 3. He had been under investigation by the FBI in 2013 for suspicious activity yet was still able to work for an employer under contract with the Federal Government? Will we be told about the loopholes through which terrorists are now actually part of our "security system?"

4. Fellow employees of G4S had complained to their supervisors of the eventual shooter's strange behavior, yet he still managed to be able to own and carry weapons. Where is the "security" we hear so much about that the government supposedly offers us? 5. Local Florida law enforcement and federal authorities have not mentioned, at all, in their countless TV interviews, the Muslim connection to the shootings. We have heard that Trump's hatred of gays somehow convinced this follower of Islam to attack the gay bar, but no official mention that the Koran, the heart and soul of Islam, calls for the killing of gays. 6. What political or financial connections to the Obama-Hillary-Kerry controlled government does the Pakistani, Omar Mateen family have? Are they known to the State Department? The FBI-BS department of this government cannot be relied upon to give us the facts in the Ft. Hood, San Bernardino and other incidents spurred on by Islamic hatred for all infidels. Keep a notebook handy to list all the confused, politically correct and "geared for the election of Hillary" comments to emanate from the tragic event that could have been easily prevented by a government truly concerned about our safety and not about the protection of the Islamic system. Remember Rahm Emanuel's classic phrase about never letting a bad incident go by without making use of it. Sincerely,

Alan Jamison

Is There a Trump-Clinton Conspiracy? Dear Editor: I must say that my fear of Donald Trump assuming our nation’s highest elective office is increasing with each passing moment. I know this might sound more than a bit paranoid, but here is my take on this bizarre political season. I truly believe that the Trump-Clinton connection is thicker than anyone thinks. I think both Trump and Hillary discussed the presidential election way in advance and worked out a win-win situation for each of them, and then to add some sugar to the pot, they worked out a profitable scenario for the media. So, here goes. Hillary thought this would be a coronation of sorts for her until Sanders insinuated himself into the Democratic race. Hillary wasn’t too worried about him walking away with the nomination, but she was worried about who would run

against her in the general election. Enter Donald Trump – the ultimate publicity hound, attention seeker and a guy with much bigger career plans than to be president. In the deal they struck, he would be doing just what he is doing now. Shooting from the hip, making bizarre statements and attracting the votes from the alienated, angry and frustrated. All polls show Hillary beating Donald pretty handily and that also goes according to plan. This is precisely what Hillary wanted. A candidate who would present no real challenge to her; someone that everyone took to be a joke or an insane character who severely lacks presidential demeanor, intelligence, experience, connections and know how. Sincerely

Ellen Valentik

Trump Taps Into Angry Voice of People Dear Editor: Trump gets so much more attention riling up the angry voice of the people, instead of looking for a real solution getting rid of military weaponry and building up friendship and fellowship with our Islamic friends. Anger only drives more anger and insensitivity, which turns into nothing but more trouble

and hurt. I want to hear Congress making moves to find a proper and safe solution, Trump and Hillary are just haggling and vying for attention and TV time - which helps who in the log run??? Sincerely

Paul Sternfeld

Do Mosques Spew Hate? Dear Editor: So minding their own business having fun and Jihadi John opens fire. Thank the FBI for not flagging this guy Michael sooner. Also hiring this clown as a security guard. Set up the whole ego and now say the Mosques don't spew hate, please spare me.

Wake up liberals, they will kill more. Keep blaming the guns. They will get them illegally. If they want to kill LGBT, Christians, etc. You name it. Open your eyes Sincerely

Donna Bertone

Should the US Ban Muslim Immigration? Dear Editor: Shutting the door to the US or the UK or anywhere else won't stop this. These are home grown terrorists, radicalized over the internet. If we can find

out why they buy into that crap and tackle that problem, it might go a long way to stopping the hate. Sincerely

Yvette Moore

Wants Death Penalty for Terrorists Dear Editor: Now I am convinced that we need the death penalty for terrorists. Israel, please, accept that you not live in Europe and dont need to behave European. Start to accept that you live in a hostile Middle Eastern neigborhood and that the only language which Arab people here understand is draconic punishment. No medical care for the families of terrorists. Electric chair for terrorists. destroy the

houses of the terrorist. Start to act like a monster because that is the picture that Arabs think of you so dont be ashamed to act like one. Bring fear and panic into the hearts of your enemies. Dont be the good guy, be the bad guy. Kick their butts. START TO DEFEND YOUR PEOPLE; NOT TO BE KIND TO YOUR ENEMIES: START NOW. Sincerely

Bel Phase

Loves Jews Living Around the World Dear Editor: I feel it's good that there are Jewish people living in America, Europe. Russia, and I hope almost in every country in the world. Because it to me just like a beautiful light! If I am abroad I feel more se-

The Orlando Massacre is Just the Beginning Everything that led to it is still well entrenched By: Raymond Ibrahim

hat is the greatest lesson of the Orlando massacre, where a Muslim shooter killed at least 50 people at a homosexual night club—an event that is now considered the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since the September 11 attacks of 2001? It’s that such an attack had to happen—and is destined to happen again. Why? Because the surest way of seeing an act occur repeatedly—say a terrorist attack—is

to repeat all the same steps that precipitated and paved the way for it in the first place. Consider: the shooter, Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, was “quite religious” and a pious Muslim (he attended mosque and prayed regularly); he clearly saw himself as a jihadi killing evildoers—he “recited prayers to Allah during the attack,” pledged this act to the Islamic State, and the latter claimed it—officialdom, as usual, is trying to obfuscate the Islamic role. Despite all of the above and the fact that ISIS has repeatedly executed homosexu-

als, often videotaping it, “FBI Special Agent Ron Hopper said the bureau was still working to determine whether sexual orientation was a motive in the Orlando attack.”

Still others are going as far as to blame this jihadi attack on American Christians and conservatives: “You know what is gross — your thoughts and prayers and Islamophobia after you created this anti-queer climate,” ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted. Then there’s the deliberate

An armed police officer stands guard outside the Stonewall Inn, Sunday in New York. New Yorkers are gathering at the historic bar to grieve the deaths of at least 50 people in early Sunday's Florida gay nightclub shooting. The Manhattan bar became a national symbol of gay rights after a 1969 police raid led to violent street riots.

President Obama said what he often says after a Muslim goes on a rampage in the name of Islam: it’s still too early to know the “precise motivations of the killer.” Instead, Obama exploited the jihadi massacre as a springboard for his own gun-ban agenda, saying that access to “very powerful weapons very quickly” is “a problem regardless of their motivations.”

incompetence: Obama’s own purge of training materials and language deemed “hurtful” to Muslims is being cited as partially responsible for the FBI dropping the ball—so that the FBI would never “ever have guessed a LGBT club [would] be a target of an terrorist attack” Mateen was even on the FBI’s radar as a “person of interest” in 2013 and 2014—yet was free to buy guns and go on

a murderous rampage in 2016. Indeed, in this case at least, it appears that Islamophobia trumped homophobia: “Gilroy, a former Fort Pierce police officer, said Mateen frequently made homophobic and racial comments. Gilroy said he complained to his employer several times but it did nothing because he was Muslim.” Finally, as with every Islamic terror attack on U.S. soil, the media is again warning against that notorious wave of “reprisals” against the Muslim community that never manifests. Florida officials were quick to invite a Muslim cleric to address the media and “preempt a possible backlash against the Muslim community” (as opposed to the other Muslim cleric who openly taught in Orlando that Islam commands the execution of

homosexuals). The Guardian “courageously” proclaimed, “Let's not give in to fear after the Orlando shooting.” Similarly, the head of the Jewish LGBTQ group, who expressed fears of a backlash against Muslims, redundantly pointed out that “We should remember not to blame all members of any other religion or political ideology for what one person does”—an admonition that fails to address who or what we should blame when countless upon countless members of one religion constantly and always engage in violent behavior. To the careful observer, all of these reactions from liberals, leftist media, and the Obama administration are par for the See The Orlando Massacre , page 38

Iran’s Chess Board – Part II By: Caroline Glick (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)

he Americans had no choice but to go along with the Iranian plan because, as Dyer noted, Iran is increasingly outflanking the US in Iraq. If things follow their current course, in the near future, Iran is liable to be in a position to force the US to choose between going to war or ceasing all air operations in Iraq. On May 7, Asharq al-Awsat reported that the Revolutionary Guards is building a missile base in Suleimaniyah province, in Iraqi Kurdistan. A senior IRGC general has made repeated visits to the area in recent weeks, signaling that the regime views this as an important project. The report further stated that Iran is renewing tunnel networks in the region, built during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War. Dyer warned that depending on the type of missiles Iran deploys – or has deployed – to the base, it may threaten all US air operations in Iraq. And the US has no easy means to block Iran’s actions. To date, commentators have more or less agreed that US operations in Iraq and Syria make no sense. They are significant enough to endanger US forces, but they aren’t significant enough to determine

the outcome of the war in either territory. But there may be logic to this seemingly irrational deployment that is concealed from view. A close reading of David Samuels’s profile of President Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes published last month in The New York Times, points to such a conclusion. Samuels described Rhodes as second only to Obama in his influence over US foreign and defense policy. Rhodes boasted to Samuels that Obama’s moves toward Iran were determined by a strategic course he embraced before he entered office. A fiction writer by training, Rhodes’s first “national security” job was as the chief note taker for the Iraq Study Group. Then-president George W. Bush appointed the group, jointly chaired by former secretary of state James Baker and former congressman Lee Hamilton, in 2006, to advise him on how to extricate the US from the war in Iraq. In late 2006, the ISG published its recommendations. Among other things, the ISG recommended withdrawing US forces from Iraq as quickly as possible. The retreat was to be enacted in cooperation with Iran and Syria – the principle sponsors of the insurgency.

The ISG argued that if given the proper incentives, Syria and Iran would fight al-Qaida in Iraq in place of the US. For such action, the ISG recommended that the US end its attempts to curb Iran’s nuclear program.

The NY Times profile describes Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes as second only to Obama in his influence over US foreign and defense policy. Rhodes boasted to David Samuels (who did the profile for the NYT) that Obama’s moves toward Iran were determined by a strategic course he embraced before he entered office.

Responsibility for handling the threat, the ISG recommended, should be transferred to the US Security Council. So, too, the ISG recommended that Bush pressure Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights, Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria in the framework of a “peace process.” Such action too would

nounced the surge in US forces shortly after the ISG published its report. But now we see, that through Rhodes the Iraq Study Group’s recommendation became the blueprint for a new US strategy of retreat and Iranian ascendance in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. The chief components of that strategy have already been

implemented. The US withdrawal from Iraq in 2011 left Iran as the new power broker in the country. The nuclear pact with Iran facilitated Iran’s transformation into the regional hegemon. Against this strategic shift, the US’s minimalist campaigns in Iraq and Syria against ISIS make sense. The US forces aren’t there to defeat ISIS, but to conceal Iran’s rise. When ISIS is defeated in Anbar and in Raqqa in Syria, its forces are liable to turn west, to Jordan. The US is currently helping Jordan to complete a border fence along its border with Iraq. But then ISIS is already active in Jordan. And if events in Iraq and Syria are any guide, where ISIS leads, Iran will follow. Iran’s strategic game, as well as America’s, requires Israel to become a strategic player. We must recognize that what is happening in Iraq is connected to what is happening here. We need to understand the implications of the working alliance Obama has built with Iran. Even if Obama’s successor disavows his actions, by the time Obama leaves office, America’s options will be more limited than ever before. Without war, his successor will like-

ly be unable to stem Iran’s rise on the ruins of the Arab state system. In this new strategic environment, Israel must stop viewing Gaza, Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and Lebanon as standalone battlefields. We must not be taken in by “regional peace plans” that would curtail our maneuver room. And we must bear in mind these new conditions as we negotiate a new US military assistance package. The name of the game today is chess. The entire Middle East is one great board. When a pawn moves in Gaza, it affects the queen in Tehran. And when a knight moves in Fallujah, it threatens the queen in Jerusalem.

Muslims Observe Ramadan in Tel Aviv By: Robert Spencer

hoppers were strolling through Tel Aviv’s upscale Sarona Market last Wednesday when they suddenly encountered two (and possibly three) Palestinian Muslims observing Ramadan. The death toll is now four, and as five other people were wounded, it could rise. Ramadan has just begun, and there have already been jihad murders in Bangladesh, Egypt, and Jordan, among others -- and now Israel. There will be many more. Observing Ramadan? Yes. The killers, reportedly Palestinian cousins from Hebron, were performing what they no doubt thought was a pious act: punishing the Jews, about whom the Qur’an says: “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” (5:82) The Qur’an exhorts believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people…” (9:14) Thus in fighting against unbelievers, a Muslim becomes an executor of the divine wrath. It was against this backdrop that Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani recently called on Muslims to use this Ramadan to “get prepared, be ready … to make it a

month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers.” Ramadan is the perfect time for a “month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers” because it is the time during which Muslims are supposed to be redoubling their piety and increasing their devotion to Allah. What better way for a Muslim to increase his devotion to Allah than by allowing Allah to use him to punish “the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers”? The nonbelievers upon whom al-Adnani and others like him want to bring calamity include, above all, Jews, as a jihad group emphasized in its own Ramadan message four years ago: “The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators. One of our groups aided by Allah managed to bomb a bus full of Jewish tourists, plunderers of holy lands, after careful tracking. The holy war is not confined to a particular arena and we shall fight the Jews and the Americans until they leave the land of Islam.” In keeping with the character of the murders as an act of Islamic piety, some eyewitnesses noted that the killers were disguised as ultra-Orthodox Jews. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “War is deceit,” and so deceiving unbelievers

in wartime is a pious act just as killing them is, and deceiving them in order to kill them is best of all.

In reality, the Israelis are reaping the repercussions of living in close proximity to a people who believe that Jews

The killers, reportedly Palestinian cousins from Hebron, were performing what they no doubt thought was a pious act: punishing the Jews, about whom the Qur’an says: “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” (5:82)

It came as no surprise, therefore, that Palestinian jihad groups were thrilled with the mass murder of innocent Israelis shopping. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh tweeted: “Glory and salutations to the Hebronites,” along with a victory emoji. Hamas also tweeted out a cartoon depicting the shooting as a Ramadan treat, a bullet encased in sweet dough. Fatah was less openly gleeful but still blamed Israel for the murders, tweeting: “Israel is reaping the repercussions of choosing violence against the Palestinian people.”

are the children of apes and pigs (Qur’an 2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166), thus accursed for disobeying Allah’s express commands. Israel is reaping the repercussions of being neighbors of a people who believe that Allah has put the Jews “under humiliation wherever they are overtaken” (Qur’an 3:112). Israel is reaping the bitter repercussions of living among a people who believe they have a divine command to “drive them out from where they drove you out” (Qur’an 2:191): as Palestinian propaganda tirelessly repeats the false claim that the Pales-

tinians were forcibly expelled from Israel when the modern Jewish state was created, the Palestinian jihad to destroy Israel utterly takes on the character of the fulfillment of the will of Allah.

propaganda tirelessly repeats the false claim that the Palestinians were forcibly expelled from Israel when the modern Jewish state was created, the Palestinian jihad to destroy Israel utterly takes on the character of the fulfillment of the will of Allah. Mainstream analysts consistently dismiss the idea that these Qur’an verses, and many others that excoriate and demonize Jews, have anything to do with the contemporary conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. But as many Muslims worldwide read the entire Qur’an during Ramadan, it is useful to reflect upon the fact that this means that the Muslim book’s many anti-Semitic passages are being newly recalled by multitudes. Jihad groups routinely and unanimously couch their appeals and justifications in Qur’anic terms. The jihad murders in Tel Aviv Wednesday are a grim reminder of the fact that the Qur’an directs so much vitriol against the Jews that blood is bound to be spilled over it – especially during Ramadan. Brace yourself: there are 25 days to go.

An Open Letter to the ADL – Part I The Zionist Organization of America isn't looking for a fight with the Anti-Defamation League, but its leadership needs to clear up some worrying question marks over their stance towards Israel and the anti-Semitic BDS movement By: Morton A. Klein 1. What is ADL’s position regarding so-called “targeted” BDS against Jews, Jewish businesses, universities and cultural institutions in eastern Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria? Was the Forward wrong that an ADL spokesman stated that ADL is still “studying” this issue? Will ADL make a statement publicly opposing BDS against Jews, Jewish businesses, universities and cultural institutions in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem now? If ADL issues a public statement opposing “targeted” BDS, ZOA would be happy to publicize ADL’s statement. 2. On May 29, 2015, the ADL’s then chief Abe Foxman published an article that criticized anti-BDS laws, stating: “Legislation that bars BDS activity by private groups, whether corporations or uni-

A decision by a private body to boycott Israel, as despicable as it may be, is protected by our Constitution. Perhaps in Europe, where hate speech laws exist and are acceptable within their own legal frameworks, such bills could be sustained. But not here in America.” http://www.jta. org/2015/05/29/news-opinion/israel-middle-east/op-edcomprehensive-approach-tofighting-bds-is-needed Has ADL modified the above written policy on anti-BDS laws? Has ADL ever acknowledged that anti-BDS laws can be Constitutional and not impair free speech? Will ADL make a public statement acknowledging that anti-BDS contracting and pension laws such as the Illinois law are Constitutional, and explaining why that is so? Ditto for other types of anti-BDS laws? Again, if ADL issues a public statement revising its Constitutionality views on anti-BDS legislation, ZOA would be happy to publicize ADL’s

statement. 3. ADL’s website recounts that ADL lobbied against a Maryland anti-BDS law, stating that: “ADL previously

which states: “Legislation that bars BDS activity by private groups, whether corporations or universities, raises some concerns about regulating First Amendment-protected free speech, and could be challenged in the courts and struck down. A decision by a private

body to boycott Israel, as despicable as it may be, is protected by our Constitution. We also have some concern that efforts to legislate against BDS may divert effort away from waging the battle for hearts and minds that is necessary to marginalize the odious ideas inherent in the BDS campaign.” http://www.adl. org/israel-international/m/ bds/adl-letter-to-congressional.html In addition, a Forward article published on February 29, 2016 states: “Asked whether he was suggesting that BDS was a law enforcement matter, [ADL head Jonathan] Greenblatt said no.” http://forward.com/ news/334508/adl-enters-bdsfray-with-hardline-partner/ Again, has ADL modified its stated public policy or views on anti-BDS laws? Has ADL ever acknowledged that anti-BDS laws can be Constitutional and not impair free speech? Will ADL make a public statement acknowledging that there are anti-BDS laws that are Constitutional? Again, if ADL issues a public statement revising its Constitutionality views on anti-BDS legislation, ZOA would be happy to publicize ADL’s statement. ZOA would also be happy to work out a joint statement with ADL. 4. In Rust v. Sullivan, 500

ZOA President Mort Klein writes that, “Again, if ADL issues a public statement revising its Constitutionality views on anti-BDS legislation, ZOA would be happy to publicize ADL’s statement.”

U.S. 173 (1991) (reprinted at https://supreme.justia.com/ cases/federal/us/500/173/case. html ), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the U.S. government may prohibit recipients of federal funds from using those funds to express speech with which the government disagrees, stating: “[A] legislature's decision not to subsidize the exercise of a fundamental right does not infringe the right." Does the ADL disagree with this holding? Is the ADL willing to publicly state that this holding supports anti-BDS laws that prohibit recipients of state and federal funds from using those funds to promote BDS?

Paul Singer’s Company Sues Panama Papers Law Firm By: Walter Metuth

hen the polemical nature of the revelation of such a thing called “The Panama Papers” came to the fore several months ago, no trained business news pundits could have ever predicted what was to transpire in a case that has rocked the lives of some of the world’s wealthiest individuals. According to recent reports, it would appear that New York hedge fund manager, Paul Singer has entered the fray. Readers may recall that the Jewish Voice previously reported that Singer’s Elliott Management Corp had pursued the Argentine government in order to compel them to make good on defaulted bonds. Now, they are setting their sights on Mossack Fonseca,

the law firm that is at the fulcrum of the Panama Papers scandal. Singer’s firm has accused the infamous bank of hiding assets of Argentine clients as they were going after and ultimately, successfully suing Argentina. Singer’s lawsuit was filed in a Nevada court in late May, according to published reports. The AFP news service obtained the court papers on June 8. The news giant has revealed that the focus of the suit was on Mossack Fonseca’s business of establishing anonymously-owned trusts and companies for clients who were interested in offshore options to hide their funds from the IRS and legal officials. When the voluminous amount of records and paperwork were absconded with and made public to the media by a German newspaper in April, evidence indicated that Mos-

Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca is under fresh attack, facing a lawsuit from the powerful US hedge fund that successfully sued Argentina

sack, Fonseca facilitated in the creation of more than 200,000 clandestine offshore companies. While following through on its aim of suing the Argentine government, the lawsuit claims that back in 2014, a

For that reason, Mossack Fonseca insisted it could not provide the data the NML wanted, according to an AFP report. The release of the Panama Papers in April, the new suit said, included documents that demonstrated the two firms were in fact "inextricably entwined" and that Mossack Fonseca had obstructed justice by not cooperating to provide the information required.

The suit says that because Mossack Fonseca's evasive tactics resulted in numerous hearings and filings, NML "should be reimbursed for the very substantial legal fees it incurred as a result." The lawsuit comes just weeks after Argentina finally gave up its 15 year fight against NML and other hedge funds and paid off their bonds in a multi-billion dollar deal that earned NML huge profits. Argentina had branded NML a "vulture" for buying its defaulted debt on the cheap and litigating for full payment.

Microsoft To Buy LinkedIn For $26.2 Billion In Its Largest Deal Edited by: JV Staff

n a surprise move, Microsoft said Monday that it is buying LinkedIn for about $26.2 billion, a deal that could bring subtle but significant changes for the professional network’s more than 430 million members. LinkedIn will remain an independent unit of Microsoft. It will keep its name, and current CEO Jeff Weiner will stay on and report directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. LinkedIn lets members network with other professionals, upload their resumes, catch up on career advice and search for jobs. For Microsoft, the deal presents an opportunity to cement itself as the tech company for the world’s professionals,

helping them find jobs, learn new skills and do their work. Microsoft will also look for ways to combine Microsoft’s software for workers with the information stored in LinkedIn’s online professional network. For instance, Nadella told The Associated Press that Microsoft’s digital assistant Cortana could mine LinkedIn for helpful data. “Cortana can wake up before you go into a meeting and inform you about all the people you are meeting for the first time and the connections you have with them,” he said. Similarly, he said, LinkedIn’s “news feed” — which provides articles and updates from your contacts on the network — could highlight information that’s relevant to a project you might be working on us-

LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, California, is by far Microsoft’s largest acquisition — much larger than Skype, which the company bought for $8.5 billion in 2011. Microsoft Corp., which is in Redmond, Washington, is paying $196 for each share of LinkedIn Corp., a 50 percent premium over the stock’s closing price of $131.08 on Friday. The deal is expected to close this year. LinkedIn’s business and share price have been rocky recently.

Tel Aviv to Host Largest Joint China-Israel Investment Summit Edited by: David Avrushmi

el Aviv will host INNONATION: China-Israel Investment Summit on September 24th to September 26th, 2016. The event follows the success of the first China-Israel Technology, Innovation & Investment Summit which was held in January 2016 in Beijing. The binational joint conference, which is supported by the governments of China and Israel, will take place at the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, in parallel to the DLD Innovation Festival, which will be held in Tel Aviv around the same dates. The INNONATION Summit will host more than 1,000 strategic players and investors from China, together with 500 Israeli high tech companies. The summit is open for entrepreneurs and companies in various fields, primarily Smart Cities; Medical Devices; Agricultural Technology and Cleantech; Internet and Mo-

bile; Advanced Manufacturing and several additional fields which attract significant interest from Chinese investors. The INNONATION Summit is a joint initiative of Israel’s Ministry of Economy and Infinity Group, organized in response to the growing interest of Chinese companies in the Israeli economy, and the recent Chinese acquisitions of Israeli companies. Similar to the first event, the objective of the summit is to encourage collaboration between Israeli and Chinese companies in the fields of technology, innovation, and investment. As part of the collaboration between the two countries, ministers from China and Israel are due to participate, alongside representatives of Chinese government agencies - the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). The conference organizers note that more than 40 inves-

tors from Chinese funds have already secured their participation, including representative from the following funds: SST, CITIC, CICC, CDB and Legend Capital. Chinese companies which will send repre-

soft, Digital China, Cheetah Mobile, Cofco, BOE, LeTV, PPTV, Honey Capital and many other companies. The summit's organizers intend to publish the profiles of the participating Is-

The event follows the success of the first China China-Israel Israel Technology, Innovation & Investment Summit which was held in January 2016 in Beijing

sentatives to participate at the INNONATION Summit in Tel Aviv are expected to include executives from Fuson, Tencents, Lenovo, Baidu, Neo-

raeli companies in Chinese media channels, in order to strengthen the investors' interest and prepare the ground for business meetings which

will be held during the conference. Gali Dvir, one of the conference's organizers, notes: "Israeli companies that participate in the summit will be entitled to pre-organized meetings with potential investors. Additionally, the companies will be able to present their products on the conference stage and initiate additional business opportunities." According to Ziva Eger, Chief Executive of the Foreign Investments and Industrial Cooperation Authority at the Ministry of Economy, "China is a strategic target market of the Ministry of Economy in Israel and of the Authority that I lead. On the other hand, Israel and its innovative industry is a target for Chinese investments. I expect that the vast majority of the Israeli venture capital funds which will raise capital in 2016 will include at least one Chinese investor. The significant interest of Chinese companies and investors and the large resources they have are an opportunity for Israeli companies. This fact partic-

ularly refers to sectors which include elements of advanced manufacturing, where Israel has a lot to offer, while in China, these capabilities are part of the recent five year plan of the Chinese government." Senior executive for the CITIC Group, China's largest investment house, have visited Israel last week in order to prepare for the summit which will be held in September. According to Elizabeth Zhang, a senior executive at CITIC: "CITIC Group, the strategic partner that participated in the first conference, which was held in January 2016, has understood the potential during the business meetings between over 100 Israeli companies and 2,300 Chinese investors. What we learned from our customers at the first conference was the fact that Chinese investors prefer to visit the companies in their own country and in their own natural environment before they make the investment, and this is why we are preparing for the conference in Israel."

Have Diabetes? Get Tips for Safe Travels Edited by: JV Staff

anage your diabetes even while you’re on vacation. Plan ahead for stress-free travel and your health needs. In all your travels, take your care routine with you. Getting out of your routine is part of the fun of vacation and traveling. But it's good to travel with your care routine, especially if you have diabetes. Meals away from home, changes in how much physical activity you get, and differences in time zones as you travel can affect how well you manage diabetes. Use this time to be refreshed, lose the stress, and continue healthy habits. Before you hit the road, review these tips for taking care of yourself.

Don't Forget g Your Medication  Pack twice the amount of diabetes supplies you expect to

need, in case of travel delays.  Keep snacks, glucose gel, or tablets with you in case your blood glucose drops.  Make sure you keep your health insurance card and emergency phone numbers handy, including your doctor's name and phone number.  Carry medical identification that says you have diabetes.  Keep time zone changes in mind so you'll know when to take medication.  If you use insulin, make sure you also pack a glucagon emergency kit.  Have all syringes and insulin delivery systems (including vials of insulin) clearly marked with the pharmaceutical preprinted label that identifies the medications. Keep it in the original pharmacy labeled packaging.  Find out where to get medical care if needed when away from home.  Take copies of prescriptions

Talk with your doctor before increasing physical activity, such as going on a trip that will involve more walking.

with you.

On the Road  Reduce your risk for blood clots by moving around every hour or two.  Pack a small cooler of foods that may be difficult to find while traveling, such as fresh fruit, and sliced raw vegetables.

 If you're traveling with insulin, don't store it in direct sunlight or in a hot car. Keep it in a cooler, but do not place it directly on ice or on a gel pack.  Bring a few bottles of water instead of sugar-sweetened soda or juice.  Pack dried fruit, nuts, and seeds as snacks. Since these

foods can be high in calories, measure out small portions (¼ cup) in advance. Air Travel  If you're flying and don't want to walk through the metal detector with your insulin pump, tell a security officer that you are wearing an insulin pump and ask them to visually inspect the pump and do a security pat-down.  Place all diabetes supplies in carry-on luggage. Keep medications and snacks at your seat for easy access. Don't store them in overhead bins or checked luggage.  If a meal will be served during your flight, call ahead for a diabetic, low fat, or low cholesterol meal. Wait until your food is about to be served before you take your insulin.  If the airline doesn't offer a meal, bring a nutritious meal yourself.  Remember to pack snacks in case of flight delays.

 When drawing up your dose of insulin, don't inject air into the bottle (the air on your plane will probably be pressurized).  Reduce your risk for blood clots by moving around every hour or two. Staying Healthy  Changes in what you eat, activity levels and time zones can affect your blood glucose. Check levels often. Talk with your doctor before increasing physical activity, such as going on a trip that will involve more walking.  Stick with your exercise routine. Be sure to get at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week.  Wash your hands often with soap and water.  Protect your feet. Be especially careful of hot pavement by pools and hot sand on beaches. Never go barefoot.  Make sure you are up-todate on immunizations. (CDC)

Tourism Chief in Israel Wants to The Jewish Presence in Aruba – A Historical Perspective Fast Track Casino Proposal for Eilat By: Jasmine Solana

By: Ariel Scheib

ariv Levin is on a mission to keep the ball rolling for Israel’s first casino. The tourism minister reportedly met with a committee of government officials last Wednesday to discuss options for setting up a casino complex in the southern city of Eilat, located close to a proposed international airport, according to state news outlet Times of Israel. The committee, made up of directors of the Prime Minister’s Office and the Tourism Ministry, the mayor of Eilat, and other top ministry officials, had a self-imposed deadline of three months to come up with a memorandum for a bill that will pave the way for a casino resort in the port city, according to the news outlet, quoting reports from the Army Radio. The memorandum will include the locations for the casino compound, the conditions for license approval, as well as the entry limitation for local residents. The officials also want to hammer down the limits on bets, the number of visits each person can make, and the amount of time they can spend inside the casino in one stretch.

ews have been recorded living in Aruba since the 16th century. In 1754, Moses Solomon Levie Maduro settled in Aruba with his wife and six children; the family remained in Aruba until 1816. Maduro came from a prominent Portuguese Jewish family in Curacao. Maduro worked for the Dutch West Indies Company and founded the Aruba branch, Maduro and Sons.

In 1942, the community created the Jewish Country Club on Palm Beach. This center was utilized for such life-cycle events as weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs. By 1946, the Jewish Country Club was officially recognized in Aruba as a center for worship, Hebrew school, and social events. On December 1, 1956, the Dutch Kingdom officially recognized the Jewish community of Aruba. By the 1960s, however, as many young Jews left

Yariv Levin, the Israeli tourism minister is on a mission to keep the ball rolling for Israel’s first casino.

Casinos are illegal in Israel, but the government—courtesy of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu—has been flirting with the notion of developing integrated resorts. Netanyahu, in particular, has been pushing for a casino in the country, initially during his first term as prime minister and then again as a finance minister several years later. Last year, the prime minister tapped two of his cabinet members—Ministers Levin and Yisrael Katz—to conduct feasibility studies on opening a casino in the Red Sea coast city. Levin told Army Radio that having an integrated resort

“is an essential process” needed to “compete in the world of tourism.” “The casino isn’t the goal— it’s the means,” the tourism minister told the radio station. So far, two casino proposals are already on the government’s table: the first will have casino gaming options introduced to hotels in Eliat, while the second proposal would see a new large scale venue built on the site of the airport located in the coastal city. The tourism ministry, however, is eyeing two to four casinos, which would also feature an adjacent conference center and a high-class hotel. (calvinayre.com)

After the arrival of the Maduros, several other European families moved to Aruba. By 1867, there were 23 Jews living on the island. Although, the Jewish population in Aruba grew over the years, it became difficult to establish an organized communal association. There is an Old Jewish Cemetery in Oranjestad, which contains eight gravestones dating back to 1563. The cemetery did not begin to be utilized by Jewish settlers regularly until 1837. These gravestones are the only indication of Jewish presence on the island in the past centuries.

Aruba for the United States, the Jewish Country Club was closed. On November 4, 1962, the Beth Israel Synagogue was consecrated in Oranjestad. Both Beth Israel and the Jewish Community of Aruba (Israelitische Gemeente) share their place of worship. Because the community is so small, there is a joint congregation blending both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions. The Jewish Community of Aruba publishes a monthly newsletter, Chadashot Beth Israel, which is mailed to the congregants to help keep the members connected through news and events.

From February 1999 until July 2002, Rev. Cantor Irving N. Spenadel led the Jewish community of Aruba. While serving the community of Aruba, Spenadel headed the religious services and religious school. Spenadel initiated a program of Adult Jewish Education which helped Jews of interfaith marriages and unaffiliated Jews become acquainted with their religious heritage. On September 2003, Rabbi Marcelo Bater joined the Jewish community of Aruba. On December 30, 2005 the first kosher restaurant, Kineret Aruba Glatt Kosher Deli opened at the Playa Linda Beach Resort. Today approximately 85 Jews live in Aruba. The most Jews reside in Oranjestad. The community consists mostly of Jewish families that immigrated to Aruba in the 1920s. In 1924, a large group of Jews moved to the island from Eastern Europe, mainly Poland. There are also many Jews from Holland and the former Dutch colony of Surinam. Israel has diplomatic relations with Aruba and is represented by its ambassador in Caracas. Contacts Beth Israel Synagogue A. Laclé Blvd. #2 P.O.Box 655 Oranjestad, Aruba Dutch Caribbean Tel.

WAR ON TERROR A Realistic Plan for Fighting the Jihad and Protecting Americans Courtesy of Donald Trump By: Robert Spencer

e’ve gotten so used to politically correct obfuscation about Islam being a religion of peace that preaches tolerance and non-violence that Donald Trump’s words in his address Monday were startling: “Many of the principles of radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions. Remember this, radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-American. I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, Jewish people are targets of persecution and intimation by radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence.” Trump continued: “This is not just a national security issue. It’s a quality of life issue. If we want to protect the quality of life for all Americans —

women and children, gay and straight, Jews and Christians and all people then we need to tell the truth about radical Islam and we need to do it now.” One may quibble about whether jihad violence and Sharia oppression in Islam are really “radical,” but the fact is that Donald Trump has become the first nominee of either party since 9/11 to reject the usual nonsense about how jihadis believe in and preach a twisted, hijacked version of the religion of peace. Even more importantly, Trump is now the first presidential candidate since maybe John Quincy Adams to recognize that the problem posed by Islam is not just restricted to the specter of violent jihad attacks, but is, given Sharia oppression of women, gays, and non-Muslims, very much, as Trump put it, a “quality of life issue.” Trump declared his determination to prevent more jihad attacks such as the one in Orlando Saturday night above all by reiterating his proposal temporarily to “suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats.” CNN huffed: “Critics of Trump's policies, however, have point-

If the U.S. did not have a “dysfunctional immigration system,” she would never have been in the country in the first place. And neither would her husband, about whom Trump noted that he was “the child of immigrants from Pakistan and he brought his wife, the other terrorist from Saudi Arabia through another one of our easily exploited visa programs.” Trump skewered Hillary Clinton for having “repeatedly refused to even say the words radical Islam until I challenged her yesterday.” He quoted her fatuous words: “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people, and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism” and opined “she’s in total denial, and her continuing reluctance to ever name the enemy broadcasts weakness across the entire world — true weakness.” Clinton wants, he said, “to take away American’s guns and then admit the very people who want to slaughter us. Let them come into the country, we don’t have guns.

In what way was it not? Combining unrestricted immigration and a massive influx of Muslim migrants, among whom the Islamic State has promised to embed jihadis, with a disarmed American population is simply an invitation to jihad massacres on a frequency never hitherto imagined. Could there be an Orlando-style attack every day? Why not, in the America of the near future that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are busy preparing for us?

Antwerp Terror Arrests Underscore Growing Threat to Europe and America By: Abigail R. Esman

everal weeks ago, just two years and a day after the deadly terrorist attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels, and barely more than two months after the twin attacks on the Brussels airport and metro, Belgian police arrested a group of Muslim youth planning yet another attack, this time in Antwerp. Aiming "to kill as many kufar," or non-Muslims, as possible, the group is believed to have been planning to bomb Antwerp's Central Station. The group also is believed to have made previous plans to assassinate rightwing politician Filip Dewinter, the leader of the Vlaams Belang

party. Those plans were put on hold, however, in favor of a larger-scale attack. The suspects were members of a group of radicalized Muslim teens believed to have kept contact with Antwerp native Hicham Chaib, who is now a high-ranking leader of the Islamic State. It was Chaib who informed the public that the March 22 attacks on Belgium's Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station "were just a taste of what's to come." And it is Chaib, the former second-in-command of Shariah4Belgium who left Antwerp for Syria in 2012, who now actively recruits other Antwerp-based youth to join ISIS or to execute terrorist attacks in their homeland. The four arrests followed a series of raids by Antwerp police into the homes of several suspects in the Borgerhout district. Two suspects have been released, but other members of the group, some arrested previously, remain in custody. All suspects are said to be between the ages of 16 and 19, confirming earlier Dutch reports that European Muslims under the age of 20 are increasingly becoming involved in Islam-

The suspects were members of a group of radicalized Muslim teens believed to have kept contact with Antwerp native Hicham Chaib, who is now a high-ranking leader of the Islamic State. It was Chaib who informed the public that the March 22 attacks on Belgium's Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station "were just a taste of what's to come."

According to some accounts, the Antwerp group is comprised of nine youths, at least five of whom are minors. At least two members tried to join the Islamic State in Raqqa in March, but were stopped by officials en route and sent back to Belgium. With security and counter-terror investigations

it is unsurprising that jihadists might be moving their activities and focus to nearby Antwerp. The city has a long history of Muslim unrest, with riots as early as 2002 and the founding, by Hizballah-linked Lebanese immigrant Dyab Abou Jahjah, of the Arab European League (AEL) in 2000. An organization with pan-Ar-

ab aspirations, the AEL aimed to create what Jahjah called a "sharocracy" – a kind of combination of democracy and sharia – that would eventually become European law. More recently, Antwerp native Fouad Belkacem founded the notorious Sharia4Belgium, alleged to have organized most of the recruiting for ISIS in Belgium, with some outreach to neighboring countries such as France and The Netherlands. And, of the estimated 500 Belgian Muslims who have joined terrorist groups in Syria, more than 100 come from Antwerp. But the indication of heightened new activity in Antwerp also suggests possible changes in strategy for Europe-based jihadists and recruiters. While French-speaking Brussels maintains close ties to France (several of the terrorists involved in the two attacks in Paris last year were based or were born in Brussels), Flemish-speaking Antwerp holds a stronger relationship to The Nethrlands. Antwerp is also a mere 30 minutes from Rotterdam by high-speed train, offering easy access to Europe's largest and

The Rotterdam Port is also the launching point for the vast majority of European exports to America, Europe's largest external trading partner. This matters. According to the National Institute of Justice, "Few would dispute that, if terrorists used a cargo container to conceal a weapon of mass destruction and detonated it on arrival at a U.S. port, the impact on global trade and the world economy could be immediate and devastating." And the New York Times further observed, "The cargo containers arriving on ships from foreign ports offer terrorists a Trojan horse for a devastating attack on the United States.

Starbucks made the changeover to serving exclusively Pride of the Farm milk, half and half and cream on May 31st at locations in Brooklyn, the Five Towns and the Lakewood area as part of its ongoing commitment to serving locally relevant items. Whether or not the change will be permanent remains to be seen. “We often test products to gather feedback from customers and partners,” said a spokesperson for the coffee giant, which operates over 23,500 stores worldwide. Rabbi Zvi Holland of the Star-K, which certifies the Pride of the Farm milk being used by Starbucks noted that none of the stores are under Star-K supervision, but confirmed that the milk being used at the stores is exclusively cholov yisroel. “Starbuck was very interested in reaching out to kosher consumers,” Rabbi Holland told VIN News. “They got wise to the concept of cholov yisroel milk and after working out an arrangement with Pride of the Farm, they came to us.” The question of drinking coffee at Starbucks is actually a complicated one, observed Rabbi Holland, who suggested that individuals consult their rabbi for further clarification.

NY Times editor leaves Twitter over anti-Semitic tweets (JTA-INN) A New York Times editor has left Twitter after receiving a large number of anti-Semitic tweets. Jonathan Weisman, deputy Washington editor of the newspaper, announced in a tweet Wednesday that he "will be moving to Facebook where at least people need to use their real names and can't hide behind fakery to spread their hate." Weisman was sent tweets calling him a "kike" and threatening to put him "in the oven," and asked Twitter to suspend the users. In response, the company said the examples did not violate its rules and the users would not be suspended, Weisman tweeted. By late Wednesday morning, however, two of the users were suspended. Weisman has more than 34,000 Twitter followers. More than 2,800 people were following him on Facebook as of Thursday afternoon. Last month, Weisman wrote in the Times about Twitter attacks from supporters of presumed GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. He recently put his name in triple parentheses known as the echo symbol, used by white supremacists and anti-Semites to identify Jews on Twitter. Over the past several weeks, the echo has been used as part of a pattern of harassment against a group of journalists including Weisman, Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, Julia Ioffe of GQ, Bethany Mandel of the New York Post and Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire. "I will leave @twitter to the

NATIONAL World Jewish leaders condemn Orlando nightclub terror attack (JNS.org) World Jewish groups and Israeli leaders condemned the terror attack on Sunday inside the LGBT nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Fla., in which a terrorist shot and killed at least 50 people and wounded 53 others. In what was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, 29-year-old terrorist Omar Mateen dialed 911 during the attack to express support for the Islamic State terror group before using an assault rifle to gun down the victims. “On behalf of world Jewry, I condemn this horrific act of terror and wish to express the Jewish people's solidarity with the victims and with the LGBT community,” said World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder in a statement. “We are simply speechless in the face of such an act of pure evil and hatred,” said American Jewish Committee Executive Director David Harris. Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said the attack had “all the markers of both an unconscionable hate crime and an act of terrorism on a scale we have not before witnessed in America,” and is “yet another reminder of the serious threat posed by the Islamic State terrorist group.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin also issued condemnations of the attack in Orlando. “To @POTUS: The attack against the LGBT community in #Orlando is cowardly & abhorrent. #Israel stands w/America in the fight against hatred,” Rivlin tweeted.

Secretary David Skorton, who was visiting Israel this week to receive an honorary doctorate from the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, said that “many people who have not visited Israel don’t really understand the multi-dimensional nature of Israeli society.” “The only understanding is gained from reading press coverage from unfortunate circumstances: Palestinians attacking Jews, the IDF attacking Palestinians, and so on—as if that is the whole story of Israel. As people understand more about Israeli society, they understand that there is a broad multiplicity of viewpoints,” he said. “My personal belief is that you don’t get better by failing to talk to each other,” added Skorton.

David Duke targets g Jews in media over Trump’s p remark on Hispanic judge (JNS.org) Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke defended Donald Trump on his radio show over comments Trump made about the Mexican roots of Judge Gonzalo Curiel. Duke blamed “the Jews” working in the media for spinning the news event into a negative campaign against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Trump controversially said that Curiel, who is the judge in the California-based fraud case against the candidate’s Trump University educational company, is a “hater” and is being

U.N. human rights g commissioner accuses Israel of ‘collective punishment’ of Palestinians (JNS.org) United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein has accused Israel of engaging in “collective punishment” against the Palestinians following Wednesday’s terror attack in Tel Aviv that killed four Israelis. “We are also deeply concerned at the response of the Israeli authorities, which includes measures that may amount to prohibited collective punishment,” Al Hussein said in a statement issued by his spokesperson at a press conference in Geneva on Friday. In response to the terror attack carried out by two Palestinian terrorists from the city of Yatta, Israeli authorities sealed off the West Bank and Gaza Strip until Sunday night. Israel also revoked travel permits for about 83,000 Palestinians. Calling the Palestinian terrorists “alleged attackers,” Al Hussein said Israel’s actions “will only increase the sense of injustice and frustration felt by Palestinians in this very tense time.”

unfair to Trump because he is “Hispanic” and “Mexican.” Duke defended Trump’s remark by calling out various media personalities over their coverage of the story, including CNN’s Wold Blitzer, who he called a “Jewish agent,” and CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker, who he called “another Jewish extremist.” “And more recently, Fox News, the Shabbat goy shiksa Megyn Kelly, ’cause they love to have some gentiles doing it,” Duke also said, Politico reported. “They don’t want Jews always out front....I think this whole Trump University case, really, if we exploit it, can really expose the entire Jewish manipulation of the American media, the American political process, control of politics in America, and truly how they are the dominant and dangerous power that exists in the United States.”

(JNS.org) A mural dedicated to Lt.-Col. John Henry Patterson, an Irish Christian Zionist who played a pivotal role in the future formation of the Israel Defense Forces, was vandalized in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in an attack that is being described by police as a hate crime. “Police said that at around 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, two containers were set alight close to the memorial to Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson at the junction of Beverley Street and Northumberland Street, off the Shankill Road,” the Irish News reported. Born in 1867, Patterson came to the region known as Palestine during World War I after serving as a colonial officer in eastern Africa, where he became famous for killing two giant man-eating lions. Patterson eventually commanded the Jewish Legion—the first Jewish force on the field of battle in the area in nearly 2,000 years—in campaigns in Gallipoli and Palestine. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s father was close friends with Patterson when the two worked together to advocate for Israeli statehood. Netanyahu’s brother Yonatan,

(JNS.org) French lawmakers and others around the world are expressing their solidarity with Israel following last week’s fatal terrorist shooting in Tel Aviv by using the term “Je suis Tel Aviv” in their social media posts. The slogan is a version of the “Je suis Charlie” (“I am Charlie”) phrase used after the January 2015 Islamist shooting at the office of the Paris-based satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Among the first to tweet “Je suis Tel Aviv” was former French prime minister Alain Juppe, and others such as French lawmakers Jean-Francois Cope and Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet have followed suit. “From Paris to Tel Aviv, from Brussels to Jerusalem, we are seeing the same terrorist attacks in the name of global jihad, which is waging a war against our civilization,” said French-Jewish Member of Parliament Meyer Habib, Israel Hayom reported.

Italian lawmakers outlaw Holocaust denial (JNS.org) Italy’s parliament last week approved a bill that would criminalize the spreading of Holocaust-denial propaganda as well as any statements that deny genocide or crimes against humanity. Those prosecuted could face two to six years in prison. The bill was passed by Italy’s lower legislative house, the Chamber of Deputies, with 237 members voting in favor and five against, in addition to 102 abstentions. The measure is a modification of an existing law that criminalizes racial, ethnic, and religious incitement in Italy. The International Court of Justice is responsible for determining what constitutes genocide and crimes against humanity. “By approving this law, parliament intends to tackle the most subtle forms of racial defamation, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and incitement to hatred,” said Chiara Gribaudo, the deputy leader of Italy’s Democratic Party.

Rabbinates to launch database of husbands refusing to grant divorces (JNS.org) Israeli and European rabbinates are collaborating to set up a database listing the names and photos of images of Jewish husbands who have refused to grant their wives a divorce or who have gone missing amid their refusal. The database plan was discussed during the past week at a conference for European rabbinical judges in Brussels. The database will help combat the phenomenon of Jewish husbands refusing to grant their wives a Jewish divorce, or “get,” which they must do in order for the wives to be free to marry again. In some cases, such husbands move away to oth-

er communities. The database will allow such communities to sanction the husbands, reported Yedioth Ahronoth. The head of the Israeli Rabbinical Courts Administration’s Agunot (a term loosely meaning “chained women” in Hebrew) Department, Rabbi Eliyahu Maimo, who spoke at the conference, described earlier this month how in one recent case the rabbinate was forced to hire several private detectives to locate a divorce-refusing husband. “We followed him as he rode his electric bicycle home. There he was placed under arrest, sat in jail for 24 hours—and this morning he gave the get,” Maimo told Israel National News.

I would ask what is the future of President Assad in general?” Netanyahu replied to a question about relations with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “We do not interfere in this issue. We’re making sure that Syria won’t become a launchpad for attacks against Israel,” said Netanyahu, who is visiting Russia this week and has met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Netanyahu explained that the Israel Defense Forces will strike Syrian and Iranian troops, or Islamist terrorists in the Syrian region if they become a threat to Israel. “There are enough enemies. My policy is to take all necessary steps to prevent attacks, and we act from time to time when the need arises,” Netanyahu said. He also said that he “ordered to build a field hospital that helped thousands of Syrians, babies, children, women, and men, with awful wounds.”

Israeli lawmakers seek to institute limited p public transportation on Shabbat (JNS.org) Members of Knesset Yael German, Karin Elharrar, and Yoel Razvozov (all from the Yesh Atid party) intend to put forth a bill that would allow local authorities to operate public transportation on Saturday in Israel. The bill would permit minibuses to run within each locality and on intercity roads. According to the bill, making public transportation avail-

able on Shabbat is designed to give some mobility to sectors that cannot drive or afford to drive, such as the elderly or youths. The bill is set to be presented to Israel’s Ministerial Committee on Legislation next Sunday. The bill stipulates that public transportation on Saturday would include only one or two bus lines that go to and from city centers would run, and the buses would not enter religious neighborhoods or pass synagogues.

Netanyahu: y Arab Peace Initiative could be relevant with changes g on borders, refugees (JNS.org) At a meeting of Likud party ministers on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced questions regarding the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002, two weeks after saying the initiative included some “positive elements” and that Israel is “willing to negotiate with Arab states’ revisions to that initiative so that it reflects the dramatic changes in the region since 2002.” On Monday, one Likud minister asked Netanyahu what he would do if Arab states were not willing to revise the initiative. “If the Arab states grasp the fact that they need to revise the Arab League proposal according to the changes Israel demands, then we can talk,” Netanyahu replied. “But if they bring the proposal from 2002 and define it as ‘take it or leave it,’ we’ll choose to leave it.” In response to another question about the Arab Peace Initiative, Netanyahu said the initiative provided a “good foundation, but it clearly must be updated due to the far-reaching changes that have taken place in our region in recent years.” The prime minister went on to say the initiative could be relevant with the removal of its demands for an Israeli return to the 1967 borders and the granting of a right of return to Palestinian refugees.

You have done wonderful things in the field of water. There are a lot of similarities between Liberia and Israel. I wish to thank Israel for its help during our Ebola crisis, when Israel joined other forces and bilateral initiatives for the purpose of helping us beat this disease,” Sirleaf said in a meeting with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin. Sirleaf and Rivlin also discussed terrorism. Sirleaf said she welcomes any knowledge and intelligence that Israel could provide Liberia on that issue.

A clear majority of this money ends up in the pockets of Hamas.” He added, “In our area, there are Israel, the Palestinian Authority (PA) of Mahmoud Abbas, and the Hamas regime. Abbas has not visited Gaza in nine years. And unfortunately, PA leaders do not have the courage to take steps toward peace.” On the Palestinian refugee issue, Dichter said, “It is no less the PA’s problem than it is ours.

Another scam included impersonating a Mars CEO to get the supermarket chain Corato to send nearly $365,000 owed to Mars. Other companies involved in the scam case include the Italian athletic clothing retailer Diadora, beer industry giant Anheuser-Busch, and car manufacturers Kia Motors and Toyota, but not all followed through with the transfer of funds.

PAGE 25 (JNS.org) Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai sparked outrage through his response to last week’s fatal terrorist shooting at the Sarona market, in which he implied that he understands the terrorists’ motives. “We might be the only country where one people is under occupation by another without having civil rights, and the leaders say it’s so we can reach a [peace] deal,” Huldai told Army Radio. “I know the reality and I know that courageous leaders need to aspire to do things, not just talk. The fact that we accept this suffering isn’t leading to any change in our understanding about what we need to do,” Huldai said. The mayor added that “you can’t hold people to a reality in which you conquer them and think that they’ll reach the conclusion that everything is all right and they can go on living that way.” In response to Huldai’s remarks, Israeli Science, Technology and Space Minister Ofir Akunis (Likud) said, “We don’t need Huldai to lecture us on morality and his desire for peace or the peace process….The things he said, which could be interpreted as meaning there is a need for a mega-terrorist attack to start the peace process, are nonsense that should be condemned as harshly as possible.” Member of Knesset Nava Boker (Likud) said that “the blood still isn’t dry from the terrorist attack, and Huldai is already rushing to profit politically and tie the attack to the

Katie Couric Accused of Deceptive Editing in Second Documentary ‘It was apparent in Fed Up that all interviewees were not treated equally’ BY: Stephen Gutowski

atie Couric’s 2014 documentary Fed Up includes instances of deceptive editing similar to 2016’s Under the Gun, according to several people familiar with the making of the film.

“What she did to me is antithetical to not only just human decency and civility but it is antithetical to the spirit of science and democratic dialogue” Fed Up, which focuses on obesity and the food industry, was directed by Stephanie Soechtig and produced by Couric. The film includes two interviews with figures who hold viewpoints counter to the narrative of the film, and sources say both interviews include at least one misleading or deceptive edit intended to embarrass the interviewee. Dr. David Allison, an interview subject in the film and the director of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center, says he was a victim of shoddy journalism. “What she did to me is antithetical to not only just human decency and civility but it is antithetical to the

spirit of science and democratic dialogue,” he told the Washington Free Beacon. After a brief exchange in the film between Allison and Couric over whether or not sugary beverages contribute more to obesity than other foods, Couric asks Allison about the science behind his objections. Allison then begins to explain before stumbling and asking Couric if he could pause to “get his thoughts together.” Allison said Couric had told him it would be all right to pause and gather his thoughts at any point during the interview if he felt he needed to. “Ms. Couric had said to me at the beginning of our interview ‘You know, Dr. Allison, if at any point you need to go over an answer, you stumble on your words, just let me know, we’ll stop, and you can go back over it,'” he said. Couric responds to Allison’s on camera request by saying “Okay,” but the film shows Dr. Allison sitting silently for another seven seconds before cutting to another interview. Allison is not shown again in the film. After the pause depicted in the film Allison said he did provide an answer to Couric’s question. “I had what I thought was a very cogent answer,” he said. “Of course I gave an an-

swer. I gave an answer to every question she asked me in a 90-minute interview that was a barrage of questions. And out of a 90-minute interview she chose to show the approximately 10 seconds when I paused and said, ‘Let me collect my thoughts.'”

He said Couric’s request that he use layman’s terms during his answers led to the stumble seen in the film. A second accusation comes from a scene featuring an interview between Soechtig and Lisa Gable, a spokesperson for the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation. Industry sources say audio of Soechtig’s voice was edited into an interview in an effort to embarrass the spokesperson.

How Did SNL Star Become a Staunch Israel Supporter? Joe Piscopo says Democratic Party's treatment of Israel has led him to become a Republican - and support Donald Trump. By Yoni Kempinski

ctor and comedian Joe Piscopo earned nationwide fame with his celebrity impersonations, Saturday Night Live skits, and roles in Hollywood films like the remake of King Kong and Wise Guys. Less well-known, however, is Piscopo’s ardent support for the State of Israel. Now hosting his own daily radio show, Piscopo airs his views on a social and political issues – including what he sees as the trend within the Democratic Party towards abandoning Israel.

“I left the Democratic Party because I’m a little disillusioned politically with what’s happening, including the lack of support for Israel.”

Party, and who he supports in the upcoming presidential election. “I’m a lifelong Democrat,” says Piscopo, “[but] I left the Democratic Party because I’m a little disillusioned politically with what’s happening, including the lack of support for Israel.” “I’m not feeling the support from Washington [for Israel],” Piscopo later added. “Am I missing something here?” Despite his ties with the Democratic Party, Piscopo says he plans to register as a Republican for the first time ever. “I gotta vote for the Donald. I want to vote for Bernie as an anti-Hillary vote, but I’ll register as a Republican.” The Interview was held as part of the Israel Day Concert in Central Park Activities. Mr. Piscopo was one of the featured Speakers at the Annual Event. (INN)

lently for about three seconds before the film cuts to another interview. “She is badgered about companies’ willingness to reformulate their products, to which the producer answers, ‘It feels like you’re avoiding the question,'” an industry source told the Free Beacon. But “that response from the producer didn’t actually follow that particular exchange and was edited to make it look like that

was how their conversation actually went.” A second person with knowledge of the incident confirmed the account, and said “It was apparent in the Fed Up documentary that all interviewees were not treated equally.” Numerous email and telephone requests for comment to Couric and Soechtig received no response. The new accusations of misleading editing in Fed Up comes after of criticism of a deceptive edit included in Couric and Soechtig’s 2016 documentary Under the Gun. The filmmakers edited in several seconds of silence during a scene featuring Couric questioning a group of gun rights activists. An audio recording of the interview shows the silence did not occur. A number of people have called for Couric to be fired for the incident, while others have defended her. The Washington Post criticized Couric’s role in the Under the Gun edit but also noted that it is “one instance of bad judgment in a long career.” Couric posted a message on the Under the Gun website in response to the controversy. She said she takes responsibility for what happened and regrets that the inserted silence was misleading. Since then the filmmakers have been accused

“Couric’s approach appears to be to protect her viewers from even knowing that there are any arguments on the other side” of breaking federal firearms laws during the production, and others interviewed for film have come forward to complain about being excluded from the final cut. John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, said a four-hour interview he did with Under the Gun producers was left on the cutting room floor. Virginia Citizens Defense League president Philip Van Cleave said his two-hour interview was also cut from the documentary. “Couric’s approach appears to be to protect her viewers from even knowing that there are any arguments on the other side,” Lott said. Allison says the actions of Couric and her team have undercut the trust the public has in journalists. “Obviously it’s no fun when you’re the one who’s made to look bad but I don’t really see that as the key point. I think the key point for our society as a whole is, can we trust journalists?” (Washington Free Beacon)

New Website Connects ‘Secret Jews’ with Their Heritage By: Anna Rudnitsky

piece of 21st century technology may help address a historical wrong from the 15th century whose consequences still reverberate today. Descendants of the Jews who were forcefully converted to Christianity under the Inquisition – variously called anusim, marranos, or “secret jews” – can now connect with their Jewish heritage via the new online project Reconectar, meaning “reconnect” in Spanish and Portuguese. “Our people was divided by force more than 500 years ago, with hundreds of thousands of Jews needing either to escape or to convert. Now we can bring their descendants back to their roots,” Ashley Perry, president of the Reconectar project, told Tazpit Press Service (TPS). Himself a descendant of Jews who fled Spain under the Inquisition and eventually settled in Britain, Perry says these far-distant events have always been part of his Sephardic heritage, with his Yom Kippur prayer book containing prayers about “our brothers under the Inquisition.” Perry quit his job as advisor to Israel’s minister of foreign affairs in 2015, a position he had held for six years, to work on Reconectar.

The main component of the project is a website, now in beta version, that allows users to choose one of the two options while registering – as someone who wants to reconnect with the Jewish commu-

nity or as someone who wants to help others find their roots. So far there are about a thousand registered users, a quarter of them signed up choosing the second option. “In countries like Brazil or Mexico, where big numbers of anusim live, there are few established Jewish communities and it’s often hard to approach them. People who find out about their Jewish roots and

“I see it more as a movement than as an organization,” Perry told TPS. “Maybe it is not the best comparison, but if you remember the movement for freedom of Soviet Jews, it also started from grassroots initiatives and turned to include senior political figures. I would expect the same from Reconectar. I believe the issue of anusim is the greatest challenge for the people of Israel

in the 21st century.” According to Perry, the number of people with Jewish roots in Latin America approaches 100-150 million, with many of them still Jewish in the eyes of halakha, or Jew-

About 60 percent of the people already registered on Reconectar website indicated they would like to convert to Judaism, and some 10 percent said they would like to make aliyah, or emigrate to Israel. Both options, however, are hardly available for them so far. There are no Jewish courts in Latin America whose conversions are accepted by the Chief Rabbinate of

The question remains, however, how do you know

About 60 percent of the people already registered on Reconectar website indicated they would like to convert to Judaism, and some 10 percent said they would like to make aliyah, or emigrate to Israel. if you are a descendant of the anusim? One method is to look at carefully preserved traditions, such as in Latin American communities discovered in the last 30 years with oddly Jewish-seeming rituals – women lighting clandestine candles on Friday evening, cleaning the house before Easter (as Jews do before Passover), and even some elderly confessing on their deathbeds “We are Israelites.” Yet there is a controversy among scholars about the origins of these practices. Some argue that people in these communities may actually be descendants of Protestant missionaries and not of the Spanish Jews. Perhaps the online tools now provided by Reconectar will help many discover – and authenticate – their secret Jewish roots. (TPS)

Who is Your Local Jewish Superman? By Rebecca Shore

n the early 1930s, comic book creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster felt the need to inspire a world very wary of the Nazi threat. They created Superman, the supreme nemesis of the forces of evil. Siegel and Shuster – children of Jewish immigrants – made their character personify core Jewish values, because they understood that the world needed a role model with a strong moral compass, a hero it could relate to and believe in. Superman may be back on the screens today, but who are the real life role models teaching authentic values to young American Jews in 2016? How are they learning what’s important in life? And who is guiding them to discover their own purpose, passions and power? With all due respect to the current stock of celebrities, I suggest we need everyday heroes.

Ethiopian-Israelis see their own stories while American youth view Mekonen as the embodiment of the best and bravest versions of themselves. Because he gives them hope and inspiration to be who and what they want to be, no matter the odds. Through producing human documentaries like Mekonen, I have also learned three important truths about young Jews, role models and Jewish identity. Firstly, every Jew is searching for a deeper connection

to Judaism and Israel. All too often, young Jews grow up without ever connecting to the power of the Jewish experience or realizing the diversity and genius of the Jewish people or what Israel stands for. They have never had a role model or something they could apply to their own lives. Secondly, young Jews frequently look outwards to find their role models. In a world obsessed with screens, image and superficiality, our youth are hungry for inspiration, insight and depth. Lacking Jewish role models, they turn to YouTube, Facebook and sports, and they find nothing and no one of value. And finally, we know global media is rampant with anti-Israel, anti-Jewish sentiment. Many Jews have not only bought into these claims but have become some of the most vocal members of the anti-Israel movement. Often because they have no other role model to follow. There is a solution to connecting young Jews to Israel, to the Jewish people, and (perhaps most importantly) to themselves: Mekonen, and others like him. Mekonen's tale of perseverance and triumph transcends color, race and religion, proving that anyone can conquer their demons and navigate even the most challenging obstacles. It also speaks directly to our youth, reminding See Who is Your Local Jewish Superman , page 37

Tel Aviv Terror Attack Shatters Five Myths By: Stephen M. Flatow

he June 8 terrorist massacre in Tel Aviv exposed all five of the major myths that cloud discussions of Israel and the Palestinians.

Myth y #1: “The problem is the p settlements”

The attackers are residents of the village of Yatta. The Israeli occupation of Yatta ended when Israeli troops withdrew from the territories where 98 percent of the Palestinians reside in late 1995. Yatta has been under the rule of the Palestinian Authority for nearly 21 years.

This was not a massacre of “settlers.” The attack did not take place in some disputed territory. Nobody can claim that the victims “provoked” the violence by living in some predominantly Arab area. These were people drinking coffee in the heart of Tel Aviv.

Nobody can claim that the victims “provoked” the violence by living in some predominantly Arab area

Myth y #2: “It was a reaction to the occupation”

Although Israel’s critics continue to falsely claim that the Palestinians live under “Israeli occupation,” the Israeli

public knows better. The Israel Democracy Institute/Tel Aviv University monthly Peace Index survey for May 2016 found 71.7 percent of Israeli Jews say it is wrong to categorize Israel’s status in the territories (it rules the areas where Jews reside) as “occupation.”

CNN’s Twitter announcement of the attack put the word “terrorists” in quotation marks, stating, “Two ‘terrorists’ captured after Tel Aviv attack, Israeli police spokesman tweets.” The Washington Post’s correspondents in Israel, William Booth and Ruth Eglash, exhibited the same bias. They described the terrorists as “gunmen,” “assailants,” and “attackers”—but never as terrorists, and only indirectly as Palestinians

Myth y #3: “The Palestinian Authority y condemned the attack”

massacre was no different. It declared: “We condemn violence and attacks against civilians on both sides, whatever the justification.” The PA “not only condemned the attack in south Tel Aviv early on Monday morning, but also the recent Israel Defense Forces

The Palestinian Authority (PA) never calls such attacks “terrorism,” and always brackets the attacks on Israelis together with Israeli actions against terrorists, thereby justifying the attacks on Israelis. Its response to the Tel Aviv

strikes on Gaza, and attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank and in Jerusalem,” according to Israel’s Channel 10 television network. Fatah, which is chaired by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, explicitly defended the massacre. According to the Palestinian news agency Ma’an, Fatah issued a statement calling the attack “a natural response” to Israeli actions.

Fatah media committee head Munir al-Jaghoub explained, “Israel must realize the consequences of its persistence to push violence, house demolition policies, forced displacement of Palestinians, raids by Israeli settlers to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and the cold-blooded killing of Palestinians at checkpoints.” That’s the equivalent of the Democratic Party defending the San Bernardino massacre

Fatah, which is chaired by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, explicitly defended the massacre

of 2015. Imagine U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), head of the Democratic National Committee, saying the killings in southern California were the “consequences” of President Barack Obama sending drones to carry out the “cold-blooded killing” of al-Qaeda members.

Myth y #4: “Ordinary Palestinians are against terrorism” Israel Hayom reports that, “In Ramallah, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, Jenin, and other cities, people danced in the streets, set off fireworks, and handed out treats while praising the attacks.” When the PA’s schools, newspapers, television stations See Tel Aviv Terror Attack , page 38

Wistrich died in Rome on May 19, 2015, shortly after arriving in the Italian capital to deliver a lecture on anti-Semitism. Many of his friends, colleagues, and admirers—myself included—took this tragedy as a sign of Wistrich’s dedication to his mission to examine, expose, and combat the world’s “longest hatred,” one that he pursued until his last breath. After all, as his wife Danielle reminded the audience at a recent memorial event in Germany organized by the Berlin International Center for the Study of Antisemitism, “In academia, some subjects are taboo, and Robert had the courage to bring them to light.” Few subjects these days have the aura of a taboo as does anti-Semitism. That’s not to say it isn’t researched and studied in academe—there are fine institutions doing just that at American universities like Yale and Indiana, as well as at Hebrew University and Tel Aviv University in Israel. If anything, serious academic study of anti-Semitism, in significant part because of the efforts of Robert Wistrich

Robert Wistrich’s books: “From Ambivalence to Betrayal,” “A Lethal Obsession” and “Fate of a Revolutionary”

Jews of the Arab world—both subjects close to Wistrich’s heart. The problem emerges, however, when it comes to contemporary anti-Semitism. There are plenty of academics and activists out there who view the entire subject through the prism of “solidarity” with the Palestinians, and who therefore dismiss any identification of a person or a statement as anti-Semitic as an attempt to prevent—as former London mayor Ken Livingstone has repeatedly charged—“criticism of Israel.” There lies the rub: While the definition of what constitutes anti-Semitism is, in the hands of Zionism’s adversaries, continually squeezed so that only a zombified white guy in a Nazi uniform can be deemed a Jew-hater, their parameters for what constitutes “criticism of Israel” are far more generous. Is expressing the fabricated claim that “Hitler was a Zionist” merely criticism of Israel? According to Livingstone, who has repeatedly stated this falsehood, it is. To those who continue to protest that the claim is, in fact, a virulent example of anti-Semitism, Livingstone’s response is to talk about unnamed “Jews in the street” who have apparently approached him offering encouragement. (Which doesn’t sound, shall we say, hugely plausible.) There were few people more qualified than Wistrich

Ben Cohen writes: “More and more good scholarship on anti-Semitism is coming to the fore, at the same time as important political and moral victories over the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign are being won. In that sense, the Jewish community owes an important debt to Wistrich in getting us to where we are now.”

to comment on events like the latest Livingstone scandal, because of the weight of historical knowledge that he brought to bear. Thanks to Wistrich and the scholars with whom he worked, we have a comprehensive historical account of the Soviet campaign against Zionism and Judaism, as well as the New Left’s adoption of anti-Semitic tropes as part of its support for the violent Palestinian struggle against Israel. Both these milieus influenced Livingstone and his cohorts and explain why he, and they, continue to trade in abject falsehoods. The lie that See Why Robert Wistrich , page 39

Refreshing Summer Salads Now is the perfect time to enjoy these cool salads. By: Yvette Alt Miller

From The Foods of Israel Today by Joan Nathan (Alfred A. Knopf, New York: 2001).

ere are some new twists on old favorites to try today.

Jerusalem Beet Salad

I first tasted this refreshing salad at the Jerusalem home of my friend Chani, who often makes it during Israel's hot summers.  4-5 large beets  1 bunch Italian parsley  1 bunch fresh cilantro  1/2 cup toasted, salted pistachio nuts, shelled  1/4 cup red wine vinegar  4 T olive oil  2 T sugar, or to taste  1/2 t salt Peel and boil beets until tender (or buy ready-cooked beets, if you can find them in your supermarket.) Drain and cool beets, then dice into half-inch cubes. Thoroughly wash and dry parsley and cilantro, then finely chop and add to the beets. Mix vinegar, oil, sugar and salt together then toss with the beet mixture. Stir in pistachio nuts just before serving. Serves 6.

Chilled Japanese Noodles

Chilled Japanese Noodles  1/2 lb Angel Hair noodles  3/4 cup thinly sliced green onion  3/4 cup chicken soup (can use instant vegetarian chicken soup flavored powder to make soup)  6 T soy sauce  1 T dry sherry  1 1/2 t grated fresh ginger Cook noodles according to package directions. When finished cooking, drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water, then drain again. Combine noodles and green onions; set aside. Combine remaining ingredients, then toss with noodles with. Chill until serving. Serves 6.

 1/4 cup (50 g) pine nuts, lightly toasted  A large bunch of flat-leafed parsley, finely chopped (1 cup) Put the cracked wheat in a large bowl and cover with plenty of cold, slightly salted water. Leave to soak for 1/2 – 3/4 hour, or until it is tender (the coarsely ground one takes much longer). Drain in a colander with small holes and press the excess water out. In a serving bowl, beat the olive oil with the pomegranate concentrate or dissolved tamarind paste or sour cherry concentrate. Add the lemon juice, tomato paste, cumin, coriander, allspice, and cayenne pepper and beat well. Pour over the cracked wheat and mix very well. TAste before you add more salt if necessary. Add the nuts and flat-leafed parsley and mix well. (Another particularly tasty version includes 2 large chopped onions fried in oil.) Adapted from The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York by Claudia Roden (Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.: 1996). Serves 6-8.

Jerusalem Beet Salad

Israeli Cabbage Salad Cooked Tomato and Pepper Salad (Matbucha)

Cooked Tomato and Pepper Salad (Matbucha) Cookery writer Joan Nathan explains she loves the Israeli saying about this wonderful salad: "Ata margish et ha esh" – you feel the smoky fire when you eat it. Colorful and deeply flavored, this popular Israeli salad goes well with fresh bread for a light summer meal.  4 green bell peppers  1/4 cup vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil  3 lbs. very ripe fresh tomatoes (about 8), peeled, seeded, and diced, or one 32-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained  6 cloves garlic, minced  1 t sugar  2 t sweet paprika  2 t salt, or to taste  Freshly ground pepper, to taste  1 T extra virgin olive oil for drizzling Put the whole peppers on a baking tray under the broiler, turning frequently with tongs, until they are charred on all sides, about 20 minutes. Place them in a tightly closed plastic bag for 10 minutes to allow the skins to loosen. Peel the charred skin from the peppers, discard the seeds, and cut into 1-inch squares. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, and add the peppers, tomatoes, garlic, sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer over a low flame, stirring occasionally and mashing the vegetables with a fork until the liquid begins to evaporate. Continue cooking until the salad has a thick, sauce-like consistency. Drizzle with olive oil and serve at room temperature. Serves Six

Cracked Wheat and Nut Salad (Bazargan)

Cracked Wheat and Nut Salad (Bazargan) In researching Jewish cooking around the world, cookbook author Claudia Roden came across this old Syrian dish which has died out in Syria itself – and is kept alive by immigrant communities around the world. This intriguing salad has a delicious sweet and sour flavor, and can be served as a side dish or a main course for a light meal. It is traditionally made with sour pomegranate concentrate or tamarind paste. I've found that sour cherry concentrate – which also has a deep, sweet-and-sour flavor and is easier to find in American markets – also works well in this recipe.  2 3/4 cups (350 g) bulgur (cracked wheat)  Salt  6-8 T extra-virgin olive oil  3 T sour pomegranate concentrate, or 2 T tamarind paste dissolved in 4 T boiling water, or 3 T sour cherry concentrate  Juice of 1 lemon or to taste  5 T tomato paste  1 t ground cumin  1 t ground coriander  1/2 t ground allspice  1/2 t cayenne or chili pepper, or more to taste  1 1/4 cups (150 g) very coarsely chopped walnuts  1 cup (100 g) very coarsely chopped hazelnuts

 3 cups shredded cabbage  Juice of 1 lemon  2 garlic cloves, finely minced  1 t sugar  1 t salt, or to taste  2 T olive oil  2 T chopped parsley or cilantro Mix lemon juice, garlic, salt, sugar and oil, then toss thoroughly with the shredded cab-

bage. Stir in parsley or cilantro, and let stand at least an hour so the flavors can mingle. Serve chilled or at room temperature. This makes a wonderful, refreshing accompaniment to grilled meat. Serves 6. Sushi Salad This colorful dish captures the flavors of sushi in a delicious, unusual salad.  2 cups uncooked, long-grain white rice  2 1/2 cups water  2-3 T mirin (Japanese rice wine) or sherry  6 T unseasoned rice vinegar or sherry  1/2 cup sugar (you can use more or less, to taste)  1 1/4 t salt  6 T peanut or canola oil  1 egg  1 medium carrot, minced  1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and minced  2 scallions, minced (use both white and green parts)  1-2 cups fresh or frozen green peas (steamed lightly if fresh; if using frozen, just defrost)  A few green beans, cut in 1/2 inch pieces and lightly steamed  A few snow peas, lightly steamed  1 small yellow summer squash, minced and lightly steamed  3-4 T minced sushi ginger (available in Asian markets)  3 T sesame seeds, lightly toasted Rince the rice, then place in a saucepan with the mirin or sherry. Bring to a boil, cover, lower heat to a simmer and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the pan from the stove, and let stand – uncovered – 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl, and stir until the sugar dissolves. (This is easier if you heat the vinegar first.) Scramble the egg in a little of the oil. Transfer the egg to a plate, and cut into small pieces. Add the egg and all the remaining ingredients to the rice. Mix gently until combined, then transfer salad to a serving bowl. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Serves 6. Adapted from Still Life with Menu by Molly Katzen (Ten Speed Press: 1988). (Aish.com)

World's Greatest Jewish Composer OU & YU Publish Concise Code of Celebrated at Town Hall Jewish Law on Shabbat Observance By Joyce Vetere Milowski and Dan Miller

Edited By JV Staff

n Monday June 4th almost 1,500 theater goers joined New York’s First Mother, Matilda Cuomo, former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell, Broadway regulars, Dame Hellen Mirren, Geraldine Hughes, Tyne Daly and Joel Zwick and family members of Irving Berlin to attend the New York premiere of “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin,” at Town Hall in Manhattan. Canadian actor Hershey Felder put on a one man show presenting the life and music of arguably the greatest Jewish songwriter of all time, Irving Berlin. Felder began Berlin’s sto-

the ground forcing his family to leave Russia, very much like what we have been accustomed to in the Broadway production “Fiddler on the Roof.” Irving Berlin, an Orthodox Jew, was born, Israel Isadore Baline in 1888 in Tyumen, part of the Russian Empire. His family came to New York when Irving was only five years old, and he was credited with having written his first song at nine, “Marie From Sunny Italy,” in 1907. Berlin lived to be 101(died September 22, 1989) in New York City. Irving Berlin was a devout Orthodox Jew and married twice outside his faith. In spite of that he continued to follow

U Press, the publishing division of the Orthodox Union, announces the publication of The Concise Code of Jewish Law: A Guide to the Observance of Shabbat, published in conjunction with Maggid Books and Yeshiva University Press. This volume on the laws of Shabbat is the first part of a landmark four-volume series covering all areas of practical halachah relevant today. Originally published a generation ago by Rabbi Gersion Appel, the Concise Code volume on Shabbat has now been revised and updated by Rabbi Daniel Goldstein, in style as well as in substance, to address the needs of the current generation. It is a modern and user-friendly text presenting the complex laws of Shabbat comprehensively, but concisely, in one volume containing everything from the laws of prayer on Shabbat to use of smartphones. Concise Code is a perfect text for everyone from beginners to advanced students who wish to enhance their Shabbat observance and their knowledge of practical halachah. The book follows an easy-to-use format for study, with basic

laws contained in the main body of the text, and annotations containing more detailed explanations as well as contemporary applications. The book contains a section of references in Hebrew providing sources for each annotation, as well as an index and list of halachic annotations, making

it a helpful reference work as well. Concise Code combines the classic sources of halachah with the rulings of poskim from the recent past and down to our own day. Perhaps unique in its breadth of sources, Concise Code draws from the rulings of a wide spectrum of leading poskim of the recent past including Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, and Rabbi Hayim David Halevy. Concise Code also incorporates the views of many contemporary poskim, such as Rabbi Nachum Rabinovitch and Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, as well as Rabbi Hershel Schachter and Rabbi Mordechai Willig (who also provided letters of endorsement for the work). OU Press, the publishing division of the Orthodox Union, publishes high quality works of Jewish thought and Torah scholarship. In addition to Concise Code, other works of contemporary halachah from OU Press include Rabbi David Brofsky’s Hilchot Tefillah, an in-depth look at the laws of prayer; and Dovid Lichtenstein’s Headlines: Halachic Debates of Current Events, discussing current topics from the perspective of Jewish law.

It will now run through the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. “Operation Finale” was the code name for the effort to capture Eichmann. Responsible for transporting millions to death camps during World War II, the high-ranking Nazi official was hiding in Argentina when he was apprehended by Mossad agents in 1960 and smuggled out of the country.

The Jewish View of Marriage – Part I Three ingredients of a successful marriage By: Rabbi Dan Silverman

ost of us, if we aren't already, will end up getting married at some point in our lives. How many of us plan on getting divorced? If statistics are right, there's a good chance half of us will. The relationships in our lives largely determine the amount of happiness we have in life. Who we choose to marry is arguably the most important decision we will make in determining our happiness and our children's happiness (and even your parents' happiness). We train and license people for almost every conceivable activity. Doctors, lawyers, plumbers, chefs, interior designers – they all have to prove their competence before we would dare use them. But for the big issues in life, for the things that really matter, there really is no training – no degrees in parenting, schools for happiness, PhD's in relationships.

"A man should therefore leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). For most of us we approach the issues in love and marriage as orphans, without learning from the cumulative experience and wisdom of past generations. We approach the key questions – What is marriage? How do I find the right person? How do I ensure a happy, fulfilling marriage? – alone, making all sorts of mistakes as we try to figure it out and get it right. That method would work – if no one got hurt along the way.

Today, marriage seems to be a kind of evolutionary accident. After a period of getting acquainted, dating and becoming romantically involved comes the stage of restlessness. The couple confronts the terrifying question of: What next? The default answer puts them on the altar of marriage, vowing to live happily ever after. Hopefully.

of marriage is two halves becoming one, completing each other. What does the couple need in order to accomplish this sense of unification? Imagine marriage as a journey down the path of life. Car, gas, food – we're ready to go. What is necessary for the two travelers in this car to “unite” for this trip? a. Destination: They have

five years – yet never discussed if they wanted to have children! Don't think this a far-out example. Couples break up over many issues: How to raise their kids, where to live, how much a part religion will play in their lives, giving priority to a career or family, whose career will come first if they're in conflict. Shared values and priorities provide a structure which

Who we choose to marry is arguably the most important decision we will make in determining our happiness and our children's happiness (and even your parents' happiness).

Jews believe that God created the world for man to have a life of meaning and pleasure. He wants us to have it all. And He gave us an instruction book telling us how to get it. The Torah is Torat Chaim – literally, the instructions for living. How do you think the Torah describes the state of being married? Eternal bliss? Chained? "A man should therefore leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). Marriage is the process of becoming one flesh. Marriage is not two people coming together to form a partnership, nor an agreement to be roommates permanently. It’s not a method to get a tax break, or a way to share household chores. The Jewish idea

to know where they're going in order to commit to go together. If one wants to go skiing, he can't get there with someone who wants to go to the beach. b. Commitment: Two people won't arrive at their destination if one can back out at a second's notice. c. Affinity: If they can't stand each other, it’s going to be an intolerable ride. Life Goals The essence of marriage is the commitment to pursue life goals together. Marriage needs to have clear goals shared by husband and wife. It's so obvious, but so often ignored. I know a couple who almost ended up divorced because after a few years of marriage he wanted children and she didn't want the burden of raising them. They dated for

unites the couple and allows them to work on becoming "one flesh.” Some of us think that marriage itself is enough of a life goal. We are fed the illusion that you don't need any goals outside of one another. “All you need is love.” Not true. Marriage itself is not a life goal. It puts an unbearable strain on a relationship if the partners expect the relationship will satisfy all their needs. Love is not all you need. Marriage is a powerful tool to help us pursue the things we care about in life with added energy, with an added sense of self. If you’re depressed, aimless and single, you'll be depressed, aimless and married. Life goals are the things in life that mean everything

to you, the values that you stand for, that you're willing to sacrifice for. If they're so easy to change, then chances are they're not so important to you. What do we mean by values? Honesty, integrity, loyalty, kindness. If she’s not nice to her own family, there’s a good chance she’s not going to be nice to yours, either. This person is going to be the parent of your children. How will they shape your kids? You can't delay discussing life goals, hoping you'll come to an agreement once you're married, expecting the other person to change. Ideas and tastes change, but character is something very hard to change. Don't expect her to change. You have to be ruthlessly honest. For many people, the problem is the lack of clear life goals. We spend years going to college, learning how to make a decent living, but we are rarely challenged to confront the issues of what priorities supersede our financial goals. Sure, we all have a vague sense of what we want in life: to be good, raise a family, make the world a better place. These are lovely sentiments, but in the words of Gloria Steinem, "We best know our values when we look at our check stubs." Our true values are most revealed – not by what we say, but by the way we spend our time and money. If we aren't clearly defining our life goals, then they are being defined for us. We tend to adopt society's values, and today society's main value is wealth and success. People magazine is filled with the lives of the rich and famous, not the wise and happy. There once was an advertisement that showed the sun setting behind a luxury automobile. The caption read: "You are looking at 3,500 pounds of life goal fulfillment." We spend so much time and energy on becoming rich and successful, yet we all know

that that is not what it's all about. We will never hear a eulogy of how he “was a very classy dresser, he always drove this year's model, and his house was enormous." Besides this, success and career as life goals are not necessarily conducive to a good marriage. Success requires a lot of time and energy, and that often comes at the expense of one’s spouse and family. Before you can contemplate marriage, you need to know your life goals: What

Marriage needs to have clear goals shared by husband and wife. It's so obvious, but so often ignored do I want to do with my life? What are the things that mean everything to me? And why? Here are two exercises that might help clarify things: a) Life goals are those things you’d regret not having done if you died tomorrow. Rabbi Noah Weinberg zt”l said: “You don't know what you're living for, unless you know what you're ready to die for. Articulate the essential things that make life constantly purposeful. Go further and ask, "Why? Why am I ready to die for this?" Be clear. And then: If you're ready to die for it, live for it. What else could be more meaningful? b) List three people you respect most in the world. Identify what you respect. Why do you value this? Couples may argue over a stray toothpaste cap or whose turn it is to get up with the baby, but no matter how heated these run-ins become, they should never destroy a marriage. Know your own goals in life. Then you can talk about whether or not the person you’re dating is moving in the same direction. (Aish.com) (TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK)

4 Defining Moments of Parenting Treasuring the gift of our children. By: Sara Debbie Gutfreund arenting is comprised of ordinary and extraordinary moments of connection and growth as I try my best to love, help and treasure my children. There are so many defining moments of parenting; moments that can uplift us and transform us if we hold onto them. Here are four precious moments that changed me.

daughter came home that day, I wanted to cross-examine her. Why? Where were you? What's wrong with you? I took one look at my daughter and I knew she needed me to listen, not talk. That’s how I found out that she was late for class because she was comforting a sobbing friend, and she didn't tell the teacher in order to protect her friend's privacy. In that moment, I listened and truly heard my child's voice.

of three, we had dozens of matching outfits with coordinating headbands to go with them. But one summer, my two-year-old daughter put on a denim hat with a big pink flower from the dress up box and she absolutely refused to take it off. I thought about throwing it away when she went to sleep. I thought about bribing her. I tried to talk her into at least once a week putting on the beautiful, white headband that matched her Shabbos dress. One afternoon, sitting on the park bench as my daughters climbed up the ladder to the slide, I saw three perfectly matched little girls with one of them laughing as she climbed, the big blue hat perched above her blonde ponytail. And I

knew at that moment that I would not ask her to take off the hat again. In that moment, I loved the denim hat with the huge pink flower because my daughter loved it. It was beautiful because she is beautiful. That moment I let go of how I wanted my child to look and cared only about how she felt. Climbing the ladder with the sun behind her, her smile was more perfect than any outfit could have possibly been.

3. The moment I said thank You. You would think that the moment my first child was born would have been one of the most grateful moments of my life, but that's not the moSee 4 Defining Moments , page 37

Parshas Nasso – Arrogance: A State of Delusion By: Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier

Parshas Nasso A man or a woman who separates themselves as a Nazir to HASHEM…Bamidbar 6:2 With these words the Torah begins the parsha of Nazir. A Nazir is one who in order to distance himself from sin will separate from worldly pleasures and dedicate himself for a given time exclusively to serving HASHEM. because he is now in a state of holiness, he must not cut his hair, drink wine or become spiritually impure. If he does become spiritually impure during this time,

he must bring a sacrifice of atonement. The Gemerah explains that Rebbe Shimon Hatzadik never ate from such a korbon that a Nazir brought, because he was afraid that the Nazirs intentions weren’t pure, and the korbon might be invalidated.

Gemerah Nazir 9b Rebbe Shimon HaTzadik said all of my life I never ate from the Korbon that Nazir brought. One day a nazir came from the south and I saw that he was extremely handsome, with beautiful eyes, and long flowing hair. I said to him, “My son, why do you wish to destroy your beautiful hair? He said to me, “I was a shepard working for my father, one day I went to fill the water from the spring, I looked into my reflection in the water and my evil inclination grabbed me, and tried to fill me with arrogance. I said to him, ‘Wicked one, why are you being arrogant in a world that

This Week’s Parsha – Possessive Nouns

By: Rabbi Osher Jungreis

"May G-d bless thee and keep thee" "May He cause His countenance to shine upon thee ad be gracious unto thee" "May HaShem lift His Face unto thee and grant thee peace" (Deut. 6: 23-26) -d conferred upon our patriarch Abraham the privilege of bestowing blessing "And you shall be a blessing..." (Genesis 12:2). That honor was passed on to Isaac and then to Jacob. In this week`s parsha, HaShem instructs Moshe to bequeath this privilege to Aaron and all his descendants - the Kohanim, in perpetuity. To this very day, the Kohanim bless us during the services on our Holy Days. In the land of Israel however, the Kohanim bless the congregation every day. The cantor chants this blessing every morning during the repetition of the Amidah, and we recite it in our daily prayers as well.

Only the holy things that we do, only our acts of spirituality, whether manifested in relationships with our fellow man or with our Creator, remain. Those holies are ours!

they are no longer his holies, they belong to the Temple. A plaque may afford recognition, but it surely is not a certificate of title. If the verse is referring to holy items owned by an individual, then it seems redundant as well. A man’s possessions are of course his! A number of years ago, we had the honor of having Vice President Joseph Biden of Delaware (then the US Senator of Delaware) deliver a commencement address at our Yeshiva’s graduation. At the time, the VP was the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and was a guest of his good friend and well-known philanthropist, Joel Boyarsky, a member of our local community and dear friend of our

school. After the ceremony, I had the privilege of riding together with the then Senator in Mr. Boyarsky’s stretch limousine, a fully apportioned vehicle that was truly befitting its prestigious passengers, among them many dignitaries and businessmen, who frequented its inner chambers. As we rode for a while, discussing everything from politics to Israel, and issues surrounding Jewish education, something in the back corner of the limousine caught the corner of my eye. There was a tefillin zeckel, a velvet case that hold sacred Jewish phylacteries tucked See This Week’s Parsha , page 36

A Blessing For All Eternity

By: Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky here is a seemingly mysterious, if not cryptic, set of verses in this week’s portion. “And every portion from any of the holies that the Children of Israel bring to the Kohen shall be his. A man’s holies shall be his, and what a man gives to the Kohen shall be his”(Numbers 5:9-10) The posuk prompts so many homiletic and Midrashic interpretations. Even after Rashi, the Master of Torah explanation, clarifies a simple meaning to the verse, he affirms that “there are varying interpretation from Midrashic sources.” Obviously Rashi foreshadows a need for deeper interpretation. To that end I will lend my take. What does the Torah mean that “a man’s holies shall be his”? How are holies, his? And what are holies anyway? After all, when one dedicates items to the Temple,

arrogance The Chovos Halevovos (Shaar Hachnah) explains that the antidote to arrogance is to remember that I am human. The simple recognition that I am made of flesh and blood will dislodge the sense of superiority from my heart. The reason for this is that all arrogance is based on delusion. The delusion that I am powerful, the delusion that I am invinible and ultimately the delusion that I will live forever. Arrogance is not a feeling of self worth, rather it is a false sense of invulerablity

G-d conferred upon our patriarch Abraham the privilege of bestowing blessing "And you shall be a blessing..." (Genesis 12:2).

To this very day, the Kohanim bless us during the services on our Holy Days. In the land of Israel however, the Kohanim bless the congregation every day.

On the eve of every Sabbath, in the glow of the candlelight, it is this blessing that every parent imparts to his child. How fortunate we are that we are able to bless our children with the very words that were given to us by G-d Himself through His Torah. Moreover, when we pronounce the Priestly Blessing, we connect to the millions of souls who preceded us, as well as to our Heavenly Father Himself. The blessing is composed of three parts. The first contains three words in memory of the patriarchs; the second, five words, anchoring us to the Five Books of Moses; The third, seven words, reminding us of the seven heavens, and asking G-d to shower us with His bounty.

Prior to imparting the blessing, the Kohanim themselves have to recite a prayer, the last word of which is "love," teaching us that a pre-condition to imparting a blessing is that one`s heart be overflowing with love. We, the Jewish People, are called "Mamlechet Kohanim - a Priestly Kingdom", and each and every one of us should always strive to convey blessings to one another, especially now, in these difficult times when so many people are hurting and brethren in Israel are in danger. Meaning of the Blessings: The first blessing is for health and sustenance, but we need G-d`s blessing that we not See A Blessing For All Eternity , page 37

Adult and Continuing Education and Executive Director of 10,000 Small Businesses in New York at LaGuardia. “Some companies in 10,000 Small Businesses decide to rent space in NYDesigns, which allows them to use an onsite laser cutter, 3D printer, and other high-tech tools in NYDesign’s FabLab, or use its procurement and development centers.” One example of this synergy is the story of Nadira El Khang, originally from Morocco, who graduated from LaGuardia Community College in February 2014 with

RISKS OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION “Did you know that some people have adverse reactions to blood transfusions?” asked Dr. Slatkin. “Complications can be similar to the rejection that accompanies an organ transplant, a reminder that receiving a blood transfusion is similar to an organ transplant, only in liquid form.” One in 400 blood transfusions results in a serious complication, and dozens more cause milder but significant reactions in patients. Fortunate-

ly, there are steps that can be taken to minimize these risks.

BLOOD MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES One strategy is for physicians to augment or “build up” a patient’s blood before surgery with iron supplements and highly-effective medications that stimulate red blood cell production. During surgery, “blood salvage” can take place, too. This means that during the normal bleeding that takes place in surgery, your blood is collected via a tube attached to

an associate’s in accounting. While studying at LaGuardia, Ms. El Khang began NadiraBag—a store featuring her unique and fashionable handmade leather bags. She connected with Queens-LaGuardia Small Business Development Center where staff urged her to apply for the Capital One Entrepreneurial program at NYDesigns, a 10-week training for aspiring entrepreneurs, featuring business workshops and mentoring. At the program’s conclusion, Ms. El Khang took home the top prize in the Capital One Student Design Entrepreneur Challenge, which came with $1,000 to put towards her business and additional

business counsel from Capital One. She then rented office space at NYDesigns, where she received counsel on her business plan. After building a thriving e-store on Etsy, she then sought assistance to grow her business and was accepted into 10,000 Small Businesses in New York at LaGuardia. “10,000 Small Businesses helped unlock my fears about expanding my business, and gave me the confidence to broaden my leather goods store from online, to in-person at a pop-up store called Made In Queens,” said Ms. El Khang who is currently pursuing a master’s degree in business at Brooklyn College. “The

store’s grand opening will be June 15th in Long Island City, and I’m so excited for my future and for the future of NadiraBag.”

In 2010, LaGuardia Community College was selected by Goldman Sachs as the first community college in the country for its 10,000 Small Businesses initiative. Since the founding of the program, the program at LaGuardia has trained more than 600 businesses that

have created new jobs, secured loans, and negotiated new contracts. Given the success of the program at LaGuardia, Goldman Sachs expanded 10,000 Small Businesses throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, and to date has established programs in 31 sites worldwide, and has served nearly 6,300 small businesses. The program results have been outstanding. Sixty-nine percent of participants have reported increased revenues within six months after graduating and forty-eight percent of participants have reported creating net new jobs within six months after graduating.

cured the patient and Barak published a paper in The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery about his unusual application of the concept. “Dr. Barak knew that Israel is good at miniaturizing things, so he got the idea that this could be a good solution for implants,” says Yakobson.

He started the company in the Trendlines medical technology incubator with a modest grant from the Office of the Chief Scientist, finishing the incubator phase in 2014.

One immediate goal is making the MED even smaller, as currently it can be used only to replace rear (molar) teeth. “We are in the final stages of developing a smaller version of our product and we are now starting R&D in the application of our technology in orthopedics as well,” says Yakobson.

olations do not count toward the restaurant’s grade. The sodium warning rule was passed by the Board of Health in 2015 to alert New Yorkers about chain restaurant foods with excessively high sodium. There’s a

well-established link between high sodium intake and high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Heart disease is the leading cause of death nationally, contributing to one out of every four deaths. In 2014, approximately 17,000

people in New York City died from heart disease. The average New York City adult consumes nearly 40 percent more than the recommended daily limit of 2,300 mg. The sodium warning rule is a key tool in efforts to reduce

a machine that separates your blood into its various components, “washes” the blood, and returns it to your body—in one continuous circuit. Another well-known approach has been around for many years: “autologous donation,” allowing you to donate your own blood in advance of your surgery, eliminating the risk of an allergic reaction.

“It was such a relief to me and my family that Dr. Slatkin was willing to perform my high-risk surgery without transfusions,” said Claudene West, who needed a C-section when she was only seven months pregnant. “He and his team made every step of the way less stressful for us.” Ms. West and her baby boy both had excellent outcomes and are now the picture of good health. Countless other patients have expressed similar sentiments.

Blood transfusions have long been seen as miracles of modern medicine, allow-

ing lives to be saved when illness or injury depletes the body’s blood supply. Many of us have donated our own blood to build the reserves that might help save the lives of others in a crisis. And, indeed, transfusions are often truly lifesaving and blood donations remain vitally important in healthcare, especially for trauma patients and others in danger of life-threatening blood loss. “Transfusions still save lives,” said Dr. Slatkin. “But if you would like to avoid the potential risks associated with transfusions, we can provide the safest options for you and your loved ones. With our new protocols, a blood transfusion

should be the last resort—not the first option.” The newest protocols have resulted in reduced use of transfusions across the board at Maimonides, improving outcomes for adult and pediatric patients. Even the most complex surgical cases have been performed successfully without transfusions. For instance, our Cardiothoracic surgeons have successfully removed cardiac myxoma— tumors in the heart—without the use of transfusions.

statesman. A few weeks later, I visited Mr. Boyarsky in his office. It was there that I popped the question. “I don’t get it. As far as I understand, you are not observant, and your car is hardly a home to Rabbis. But yet you keep your tefillin in your car, in open view for everyone to see? Why? His terse answer remains with me until today. “When I

travel I take my things. Those tefillin are my things.” The Torah issues a profound decree that defines not only what we have, but who we are. Those of us who understand that life as fulfilling as it may appear, how succulent the courses that it serves may taste, is but a fleeting moment in the grand scale of endless eternity. Who are we and what do we have. I saw a bumper sticker that

seemed to have survived the NASDAQ plunge the other week, “The guy with the most toys at the end wins.” Wins what? What are the toys? The Torah tells us that after all the innings are pitched and the crowd walks from the packed stadium, we only have one thing. We have our holies. They are ours. Cars break. Computers crash. Satellites explode. Fortunes diminish and fame is

as good as yesterday’s newspaper. Only the holy things that we do, only our acts of spirituality, whether manifested in relationships with our fellow man or with our Creator, remain. Those holies are ours! They will always belong to us. That is what we travel with and that is what we take along. In this world and the next. (Torah.org)

But pro-Israel backers of the original bill are skeptical of the Democrat-dominated state legislature restoring AB 2844’s key components. “The bill before us is an absolute failure and would move

the pro-Israel movement backwards, not only in California, but around the country and around the globe,” said Allen. “This bill, as revised, has absolutely nothing to do with efforts to support Israel. It is not in line with any federal policy and it would apply to boycotts of com-

It’s not clear how much square footage Cushman is negotiating on, but the firm had been reported to be in the market last year for a 300,000-square-foot global headquarters.

Our unity must be in agreeing to the rules of the game, only in the context of a democracy that recognizes every person’s dignity.” MK Ayman Odeh, head of the Joint Arab List in the Knesset, expressed support for Rivlin’s speech, yet he also raised the complaints of some in the Israeli Arab community. “I am deeply convinced that the interests of both [Jewish and Arab] peoples are identical. But I am a man of content and not of symbols. We want full equality, both in civil society and in national rights,” said Odeh.

through it would move Cushman closer to its CRE peers. The brokerage has always been an outlier with its headquarters at 1290 Sixth Avenue near Rockefeller Center, while competitor firms CBRE, JLL and Newmark Grubb Knight Frank are all located on Madison or Park avenues near Grand Central Terminal. A run of mergers and acquisitions has left Cushman with a scattered footprint across Manhattan. The company already had about 175,000 square feet at Vornado Realty Trust’s1290 Sixth Avenue when it acquired Massey Knakal in January 2015 for about $100 million. Massey has a little more than 40,000 square feet a few blocks south from the L&L building at 275 Madison Avenue, which owner RFR Holding is in contract to sell for roughly $270

Bar-Ilan University President Rabbi Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz praised Lauder as a man who has devoted decades to the building and re-building of Jewish life and contributed greatly to the revitalizing of Jewish identity through educational and cultural initiatives across the globe. "Ronald

He has actively worked on behalf of Jewish causes and most importantly on causes and beliefs that will ensure that our nation continues to move forward," said Prof. Hershkowitz.

L&L is taking a unique approach to its Madison Avenue building, which amounts to one of the few new construction projects in Midtown East. Because the 1950s property is overbuilt under current zoning, the developers would lose square footage if they decided to tear the outdated building down and construct a new one. (The Real Deal) Odeh demanded that the Israeli government recognize Arab national aspirations in addition to those of the Jewish population. “The word nation, Mr. President, is an important word. Who knows that better than you? We have to talk about the national rights of Arabs, and that won’t infringe upon anyone else,” said Odeh. Israeli minister of Development of the Negev and Galilee Aryeh Deri, of the religious party Shas, echoed the need for cooperation and equality between Jews and Arabs. “Arabs don’t share our nationality but we share a common fate,” said Deri. “We respect the Arab culture and the first step toward living together is full equality.” (TPS) Guardian of Zion Award.

Why Robert Wistrich Continued from page 29

Israel is an apartheid state, the lie that a Jewish sense of “chosenness” underlies Zionism, the lie that the Zionist movement collaborated with the Nazis during the Holocaust— all of these were being actively circulated in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, whether by the Soviet diplomatic mission at the United Nations, or by Trotskyists on provincial university campuses in the United Kingdom. I have many friends and colleagues who have told me, wistfully, that Wistrich’s loss has deprived us of the most

cogent analyst of anti-Semitism then and now. And I agree with them—as I said earlier, Wistrich is irreplaceable. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take advantage of his prolific writings when it comes to informing our response to both anti-Semitism and the denial of anti-Semitism. Look, for example, at the next two years. In June 2017, Israel will mark the 50th anniversary of its triumph in the Six-Day War. In November 2017, the centenary of the Balfour Declaration will fall. In May 2018, Israel will mark the 70th anniversary of its creation as a sovereign state.

An Open Letter to the ADL Continued from page 20

5. During ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt’s speech to J Street (reprinted on ADL’s website at http:// www.adl.org/israel-international/israel-middle-east/ remarks-by-jonathan-greenblatt.html#.V1kZSVfWrww ), Greenblatt accused fellow Jews of “Islamophobia” and “marginalizing Palestinians” and claimed that the “Palestinian narrative” is “legitimate.” Greenblatt said: “We should not stand idly by when those in our community exhibit Is-

lamophobia or deny the rights of the marginalized, Palestinian or otherwise. So, when it comes to striving for a two state solution, it’s critical for two parties to meet halfway. Both sides need to acknowledge the legitimacy of the other’s narrative. We need equal pressure for equality.” What “Palestinian narrative” does ADL believe is “legitimate”? The false Palestinian Arab narrative that Jews living on Jewish land are “occupiers” that “stole” their own land from “Palestinian” Arabs? The false “Palestinian Arab

point his sound: all those, including Hillary, who are busy excoriating Trump for the “racism” and “bigotry” of his immigration proposal have not bothered to suggest any alternative plan for preventing jihadis from entering the country. The bottom line, to borrow one of Trump’s pet phrases, is that Hillary and the rest of the political and media elites would

rather see Americans subjected to jihad mass murder on a huge scale than do anything that is politically incorrect. Another foray into political incorrectness in Trump’s speech was his insistence that the Muslim community in the U.S. has “to work with us. They have to cooperate with law enforcement and turn in the people who they know are bad. They know it. And they have to do it, and they have to do it forthwith….

Those charged with these offenses will now be subject to hearings in administrative court rather than in the criminal court system. Detractors of the new laws have said that the shift in courts will undermine the “broken windows” theory of policing, where a crackdown on minor offens-

Mayor deBlasio has said that the reduction in the severity of these offenses would serve to shrink crime statistics. “This legislation will help us play a crucial role in building a fairer criminal-justice system for all New Yorkers.

All these occasions will be cause for celebration, but it also doesn’t take a mystic to foresee that Israel’s foes will use each of them as a platform to level their standard accusations—and perhaps some new ones?—and call for a boycott. All of us can counter that offensive by educating ourselves. That’s why I want to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Wistrich’s passing with a plea to my own readers to read his books. If you want to understand the relationship between the Jews and the left, read “From Ambivalence to Betrayal.” If you want understand the epic historical sweep of anti-Semitism, get a copy of “A Lethal Obsession”—if its

size is daunting, you can read individual chapters rewardingly. And if you just want to learn why Wistrich was such a good historian, read “Fate of a Revolutionary,” his study of the Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky. I issue that plea not from a feeling of anxiety, but from one of confidence. After all, more and more good scholarship on anti-Semitism is coming to the fore, at the same time as important political and moral victories over the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign are being won. In that sense, the Jewish community owes an important debt to Wistrich in getting us to where we are now.

And if that doesn’t inspire you, let me end by explaining how Wistrich’s center at Hebrew University came to be named after Vidal Sassoon. The celebrity who daringly transformed women’s hairstyles and created a line of beauty products came from humble beginnings, a Jewish boy growing up in a one-parent home in London. In his teenage years after the Second World War, Sassoon regularly battled with the fascists who had returned to the streets, recounting how he would turn up for work with bruises and a black eye. That experience led him to fight for Israel during its War of Independence. Sassoon’s abiding belief that anti-Semitism had

to be studied properly if it was ever to be expunged brought him together with Wistrich. The importance of that connection, and its legacy to our generation, can’t be overstated. (JNS.org) Ben Cohen, senior editor of TheTower.org & The Tower Magazine, writes a weekly column for JNS.org on Jewish affairs and Middle Eastern politics.

premiere, including, “Alexander’s Rag Time Band,” “Always,” Blue Skies,” “G-d Bless America,” “Puttin on the Ritz,” “there’s No Business Like Show Business,” and White Christmas.” The latter was written as a gift to the troops fighting in World War II thinking about how lonely they must be on Christmas so far from home. Felder was amazing. He often called on the audience to sing along with him to the

iconic tunes that have become part of the fabric of the Great American Songbook. “I am thrilled to return to Town Hall,” said Felder, “a stage replete with history, to perform the role of Irving Berlin on the same stage where I last brought Maestro Leonard Bernstein to life. TO be able to create the character of Irving Berlin, America’s most beloved composer, in his home town, around the cor-

ner from his beloved Music Box Theater, in a music story that reminds us all of this incredible country, and the remarkable people who built it, is truly an honor.” Following his performance as Irving Berlin Hershey Felder joined family members of Irving Berlin and a host of actors and theater press for a reception at Sardi’s. Irving Berlin’s daughters Elizabeth Peters, Linda

Louise Emmet, Mary Ellin Berlin Barret were joined by Berlin’s grandson Edward Emmet, granddaughter Katherine Swett and great grandson William Swett to meet and greet the star of the show Hershey Felder and his lovely wife, Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada. Felder will next perform as Leonard Bernstein in Maestro from August 31 – October 16 at 59E59.

narratives” that Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are Islamic holy places that Jews are “defiling,” and that Jews have no connection to Jerusalem? What does Greenblatt mean by his accusation that fellow Jews are “marginalizing Palestinians?” Does refusing to accept false Palestinian Arab “narratives” constitute “marginalizing Palestinians”? Is Greenblatt/ADL willing to publicly retract his statement accusing Jews of “Islamophobia”? 6. Greenblatt also blamed “both sides” for acts that are the sole responsibility of Palestinian Arabs and during his J Street speech, and encour-

aged criticism of Israel for the lack of a solution. Greenblatt stated: “We must be on guard for those . . . who place blame on one side instead of putting forward solutions that acknowledge the role and responsibility of both sides” and “Both sides need more investment and less intifada, more business and less boycott, more help and less hate” and “Looking back [after the hopes of Oslo], some disagree about what happened or how we get to that two-state solution. We can – and should – have a robust debate. We can criticize and argue with our brothers and sisters in Israel, and with their government. I

know I do. I know ADL does.” and “We can seek to support Palestinian self-determination.” Why is ADL criticizing Israel for the lack of a Palestinian state? Is this an appropriate role for the ADL? Isn’t ADL supposed to be combatting anti-Semitism? Why is the ADL criticizing Israel when the Arabs rejected repeated offers of statehood alongside a Jewish state? Why is the ADL criticizing Israel when it is the PLO/ PA (Palestinian Authority) and Hamas that call for intifadas (the murder innocent Jews), and teach hatred of Jews in Palestinian Arab schools,

newspapers, television, and government-controlled mosques? Does the ADL blame “both sides” in any other context when one side teaches hatred and violence? For instance, when the Ku Klux Klan teaches hatred of blacks, does the ADL does blame “both sides”? Then why is the ADL blaming “both sides” when Palestinian Arabs teach hatred of Jews? Isn’t this the exact opposite of what the ADL is supposed to be doing?

The Muslims have to work with us. They have to work with us. They know what’s going on. They know that he was bad. They knew the people in San Bernardino were bad. But you know what? They didn’t turn them in. And you know what? We had death, and destruction.” The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was furious. CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper claimed that “law enforcement authorities have repeatedly stated that they have tremendous cooperation

from the Muslim community.” CAIR’s hypocrisy is astounding, as it has more than once advised Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. In January 2011, its San Francisco chapter featured on its website a poster that read, “Build A Wall of Resistance / Don’t Talk to the FBI.” In November 2014, CAIR-Florida’s “14th Annual Banquet Rooted in Faith” in Tampa distributed pamphlets entitled “What to do if the FBI comes for you” and featuring a graphic of a person holding a finger to his lips in the “shhh”

signal. Another CAIR pamphlet, entitled “Know Your Rights: Defending Rights, Defeating Intolerance” featured a graphic of the Statue of Liberty likewise making the “shhh” symbol. Cyrus McGoldrick, a former official of Hamas-linked CAIR’s New York chapter, even threatened informants, tweeting with brutal succinctness: “Snitches get stitches.” Zahra Billoo of CAIR-San Francisco regularly tweets that Muslims have no obligation to talk to the FBI, and should contact

Hamas-linked CAIR if the FBI asks to talk to them. This is the group criticizing Trump for noting that Muslim communities have not been any significant help in rooting out jihadis from among them? Indeed. The world is on fire courtesy of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. If America votes in November for more of the same, we will soon be engulfed in those flames as well. On Monday, Donald Trump outlined an unprecedentedly realistic plan for putting out the fire. (Front Page Mag)

crime,” he said. He added that, "gives police officers more tools to enforce the law without inhibiting our officers' ability to keep New York City the safest big city in America." "No one should be shackled with a criminal record for littering or being in a park after it's closed," said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. "This act makes important progress away

from the crippling effects of broken-windows policing and toward policing practices that are smarter, fairer and safer for all New Yorkers." At a City Hall signing ceremony, the new laws scarcely faced opposition. “New York City is living up to its highest values,” said Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. "This is a huge win for criminal justice reform," she said. "For too long, our criminal justice system was bro-

ken and it was time we took action. The Criminal Justice Reform Act will prevent tens of thousands of people from getting a criminal record for low-level, non-violent offenses and over its lifetime it is going to change trajectories for countless New Yorkers." Still, a handful of council members criticized the laws during a vote three weeks ago as a backslide to the city’s bad old days.

Dr. Jose L. Cruz Appointed President of Lehman College in the Bronx Edited By JV Staff

n Monday, June 6, the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York appointed Dr. José L. Cruz, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at California State University, Fullerton, and a frequent speaker and writer on higher education issues, as the third president of Herbert H. Lehman College in the Bronx. Chancellor James B. Milliken recommended Cruz's appointment following a nationwide search.

"Dr. Cruz is a proven academic leader who has accomplished much at one of the largest and most diverse public universities in the nation.” The selection, approved unanimously by the Board's Executive Committee, is effective August 15, 2016. The search was conducted by a Board commit-

tee chaired by Trustee Valerie Beal that included trustees, faculty, students, an alumnus and a CUNY college president. Cruz replaces President Ricardo R. Fernández, who has led Lehman with great distinction for 26 years through a period of significant expansion and is CUNY's longest-serving among the University's current presidents. Chancellor James B. Milliken called Cruz, an electrical engineer and inventor in addition to his administrative and other leadership roles, "an outstanding choice" to head Lehman, which has expanded degree programs, its technological infrastructure and science and research facilities in recent years. "Dr. Cruz is a proven academic leader who has accomplished much at one of the largest and most diverse public universities in the nation," the Chancellor said. "He is an experienced and effective academic administrator with an impressive record of achievements. His dedication to high academic quality, to enhancing college access for low-income and underrepresented students, and improving graduation rates and achieve-

ment gaps, will serve Lehman College and CUNY well." Cruz became Cal State Fullerton's Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Professor of Computer Engineering, in 2012. As provost of the 39,000-student university, he has been responsible for the strategic and operational initiatives of eight colleges and a variety of other academic and administrative units, and for managing an annual budget of approximately $260 million, among many other responsibilities. He previously served as Vice President of Higher Education Policy and Practice at The Education Trust in Washington, D.C., an advocacy and research organization dedicated to high academic achievement at all levels. There, Cruz oversaw the national Access to Success Initiative and was involved in efforts to regulate the for-profit college industry and protect the federal Pell Grant program. Cruz is also a former Vice President for Student Affairs of the 11-campus University of Puerto Rico system, where he also served as the coordinator of UPR's strategic

planning efforts. He is a former faculty member at UPR-Mayaguez, where he received early promotion to the rank of professor and chaired the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and as Dean of Academic Affairs. Fluent in English and Spanish, Cruz has published extensively in scientific journals and international conferences and

his scientific work has been funded by federal and state agencies, private foundations, individual donors, private investors and corporations. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and a National Science Foundation Career Award recipient, serves on the boards of directors of The Education Trust and the national Association of Chief Academic Officers, and is a faculty member of the Western Academic Leadership Academy. Cruz received his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, and his master's and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. He has a professional certification from the Institute for Educational Management at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education. Founded in 1968, Lehman College is a senior college located on 37 acres in the northwest Bronx, offering 51 undergraduate majors and programs, 46 graduate degree programs, 17 graduate certificates, and 11 doctoral programs in conjunc-

tion with the CUNY Graduate Center. Its fall 2015 enrollment totaled 12,807, including 10,800 undergraduates and 2,007 graduate students. During President Fernández's tenure, Lehman has developed new majors and degree programs, including an undergraduate degree in business and graduate degrees in social work, public health and business. The college has also expanded its technological infrastructure and facilities, including most recently a $16 million Multimedia Center and the $70 million, state-of-the-art Science Hall, the largest academic investment in Lehman's history and part of a three-phase complex dedicated to research and science. Since the Spring 2013 semester, Lehman has seen a 40 percent growth in online/hybrid classes, and as of the Fall 2014 semester, nearly a quarter of all classes at the college were either online, hybrid or Web-enhanced. Lehman has also increased its level of grants and contracts, and become a major resource for the economic, cultural and educational development of the Bronx.

Portnoff Named Elie Wiesel Professor of Judaic Studies at CT College Edited By JV Staff

haron J. Portnoff, associate professor of religious studies at Connecticut College, has been named the Elie Wiesel Professor of Judaic Studies.

“These kinds of events provide important perspectives for the campus, expanding views on what constitutes Judaism and Judaic thought.” Portnoff is the second faculty member named to the Wiesel Chair, an endowed po-

sition established in 1990 by a generous gift from alumna JoAnn Hess Morrison ’67 in honor of the Nobel laureate, author and international human rights advocate Elie Wiesel. The senior appointment in the Department of Religious Studies is reserved for a distinguished scholar committed to advancing Judaic Studies within the liberal arts. “Sharon is an ideal choice for this position. She will be vital in expanding programming and furthering the growth of Judaic studies on campus,” said Abigail A. Van Slyck, dean of the faculty and Dayton Professor of Art History. “She has worked diligently over the past eight years as a scholar, as a teacher, and as a citizen of the

campus community. We look

forward to the vibrant and multidimensional approach she will bring to the position.” With the recent opening of Zachs Hillel House, the college's Jewish presence has experienced significant growth. In her new role, Portnoff will work closely with Rabbi Susan Schein to provide students with access to the richness of the Jewish experience, including both cultural and religious events. “I look forward to working with colleagues campus-wide to deliver speakers who can stimulate meaningful conversations about Jewish philosophy, culture and history,” said Portnoff. “These kinds of events provide important perspectives for the campus,

expanding views on what constitutes Judaism and Judaic thought.” Portnoff will also continue coordinating the Miriam Melrod Lecture series, an ongoing initiative made possible by the Miriam Kraemer Melrod Endowment for Judaic Studies, which supports an annual symposium on Jewish identity. As the Wiesel Chair, Portnoff will build on the efforts of her predecessor Roger Brooks, former dean of the faculty, who was instrumental in bringing the Zachs Hillel House to campus and helping to establish the College’s innovative Global Islamic Studies program, which embraces Judaic Studies as part of its interdisciplinary mandate.

Portnoff holds a bachelor’s degree from St. John’s College (Annapolis), a master’s in education from Harvard University and a master’s and Ph.D. from the Jewish Theological Seminary. She specializes in modern Jewish thought and Holocaust theology and teaches courses in the Holocaust, Israel, post-Holocaust responses, religious ethics and Jewish traditions. Situated on the coast of southern New England, Connecticut College is a highly selective private liberal arts college with 1,900 students from all across the country and throughout the world.

Bar Ilan U’s Ingeborg Rennert Center for J’slm Studies Honors Ronald Lauder Edited by: JV Staff

ar-Ilan University's Ingeborg Rennert Center for Jerusalem Studies on June 14th bestowed its annual Guardian of Zion Award upon World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder. In delivering the annual Distinguished Rennert Lecture on The Future of the Jewish People, Lauder outlined the challenges facing the Jewish world today and spoke about his vision for contending with contemporary anti-Semitism. “Over the last 20 years, and for the first time since the Holocaust, anti-Semitism is acceptable again,” Lauder said. “Unlike the anti-Semitism of the past, today it comes not just from the Far-Right, but increasingly it comes from the Far-Left. And the new target

for this age-old hatred is not the ‘International Jew,’ as Henry Ford called us. Today, it is the Jewish state of Israel, which is constantly vilified throughout the media, on the internet, at the United Nations, and on almost every college campus.”

Lauder said that for Jews today, “our destiny is in our own hands.” Lauder continued: “Let’s make one thing crystal-clear right now. When someone says they are not anti-Jewish, they are only anti-Israel, that is a lie. When you hold the only Jewish nation to a different standard than any other country, when you make up lies about the only Jewish nation, its past and its present, and when you

want the only Jewish nation on earth to disappear, that makes you an anti-Semite. Pure and simple.” The WJC president expressed disappointment in the United Nations’ resolve at contending with these issues, saying the international body was losing legitimacy as it allowed anti-Jewish sentiment to undermine it. Lauder said that for Jews today, “our destiny is in our own hands.” The World Jewish Congress had come a long way since its founding in 1936, Lauder said, from the days when it had to turn to the world for help.

I want them to have the same pride that we had when we were younger.” Lauder also discussed the WJC’s efforts in combating attacks on Israel in the legal realm and on campuses, and proposed to enhance Jewish public relations efforts, “so that we, not our enemies will define who we are.” He ended his speech with a plea: "This is the job before us now. We have to help our children and our grandchildren dust off their hearts, we have to help them re-discover that Jewish flame inside them. This isn't just important for Jews, it’s important for everyone, Jews and gentiles, because for over 5,000 years, that flame has been lighting the entire world."

Goldman Sachs to Establish Business Education Center at LaGuardia CC Announced at 20th Graduation of 10,000 Small Businesses in New York—attended by Lloyd Blankfein, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, Jack Dorsey and Michael Porter Edited by: JV Staff

t an event held last week at LaGuardia Community College, which was attended by Lloyd Blankfein, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, Jack Dorsey, and Michael Porter, plans were unveiled for the new Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Education Center located on the LaGuardia Community College campus. The event marked the 20th graduation of 10,000 Small Businesses in New York, a program created through a partnership between Goldman Sachs and LaGuardia Community College to help

entrepreneurs grow their businesses and in turn, create jobs and economic opportunity, by providing access to business education, capital and technical assistance. “Our partnership with Goldman Sachs on 10,000 Small Businesses in New York perfectly aligns our dedication to helping existing small businesses grow their businesses, with our knowledge about the power of education to improve lives,” said LaGuardia Community College President Gail O. Mellow. “Our College is devoted to making a positive impact on New York City by promoting workforce development, and, in order to help people get out of poverty and

to safeguard the middle class.” “We are so proud that LaGuardia Community College was our first partner when we launched 10,000 Small Businesses five years ago and that today more than 600 local entrepreneurs have been

to see firsthand the power of small businesses when they are given the tools and resources they need to grow. This new Center will help continue our mission to spur business growth and economic development.” In July 2014, Governor Cuomo announced a $5 million award for a new Education Center from CUNY 2020,

New Dental Implant Tech Speeds and Improves Bone Growth Magdent’s miniature electrostimulation device could open dental implantation to people with poor bone quality and may also prevent infection By: Abigail Klein Leichman

n ancient Egypt, missing teeth were sometimes replaced with carved seashells or pebbles anchored in the jawbone. Modern implant dentistry is a lot more sophisticated, but the basic idea is the same: placing an artificial root into the jawbone to hold a replacement tooth (crown). The two-part procedure begins with screwing a titanium “root” into the jawbone and waiting three to six months until the bone grows firmly around it – called “osseointegration.” A healing abutment, or cap, is placed on top of the implant to help the gum

heal, and then it’s replaced with a regular cap in which the crown is connected to the implant. The Israeli company Magdent says its revolutionary MED (miniaturized electronic device) built into the healing abutment makes the bone grow three times faster by transmitting an electromagnetic field into the implant and the surrounding bone graft. Electromagnetic fields have long been used by orthopedists to heal complicated bone fractures because they encourage the creation of bone-building cells. Scaling the technology down to size for dental use, Magdent also proved in ani-

mal studies that MED causes the bone to grow more densely than usual. This is significant for the many people who are risky dental implant candidates because of poor bone

Yakobson is traveling the world in response to inquiries from dental manufacturers and distributors in Europe, North and South America and Asia. Strong interest in the Israeli product is understandable. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry,

quality. Newly on the market in Europe, and patented in the United States and Europe, MED is being mass-produced in Tiberias and will be submitted for US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval next year. Meanwhile, Magdent Chief Operating Officer Elad

the estimated US and European market for dental implants is expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2022. Yet innovations in implant dentistry have not kept up with the pace. “All dental implants are titanium screws, and many companies have tried to accelerate osseointegration by changing the shape of the screw, but the

differences are minor,” Yakobson tells ISRAEL21c. “Ours is the first innovation that lets the doctor actively influence the healing process. The MED creates an electromagnetic stimulation from microelectronics inside the healing abutment. The doctor uses the same treatment protocols; there’s no learning curve.” The practitioner pays $70 per unit, plus one-time purchase of an activator device that switches on the microelectronics inside the abutment.

May y also prevent infections In addition to shortening the osseointegration process by two-thirds and improv-

ing the quality of the bone by about 40 percent, MED may prove helpful in preventing or treating peri-implantitis, an infection that can occur around the dental implant even a few years after the procedure. “Electromagnetic stimulation helps kill bacteria, so we are investigating how it might help treat peri-implantitis,” says Yakobson. “Currently, there isn’t really a cure. The dentist has to open the gum and treat the infection with antibiotics.” Magdent is conducting advanced clinical studies in several See New Dental Implant Tech , page 36

NYC Health Dept Enforces Sodium Warning Rule Chain restaurants must now post warning icons next to menu items containing more sodium than is recommended to consume in an entire day Edited by: Damon Juckhel

he NYC Health Department, on Monday, began citywide enforcement of the sodium warning rule requiring chain restaurants to identify menu items high in sodium. On May 26, a New York State appeals court rejected the National Restaurant Association’s (NRA) challenge to the rule and lifted a court-held block on enforcement. Starting this week, New York City chain restaurants with 15 or more locations nationwide must post a sodium warning icon next to menu items and combo meals containing more sodium than the daily recommended limit of 2,300 milligrams. The size of the icon must be no smaller than the font size of the menu items. The rule also requires chain food service establishments to post the following warning statement: Warning: indicates that the sodium (salt) content of this item is higher than the total daily recommended limit (2,300 mg). High sodium intake can increase blood pressure and risk of heart disease

NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said, “Lowering sodium intake reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Many restaurant chains across the city have been posting the sodium warning label since this past December and we expect all chain restaurants to comply.”

and stroke. “The sodium warning rule makes it easy for New Yorkers to identify menu items that contain more than the daily recommended limit of sodium and to make healthier choices at chain restaurants,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett. “Lowering sodium intake reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Many restaurant chains across the city

have been posting the sodium warning label since this past December and we expect all chain restaurants to comply.” “New York’s leadership encouraging sodium reduction in food has had an impact across the nation,” said CSPI president Michael F. Jacobson. “Now that New York City restaurants must now comply with the city’s sensible regulation, customers can plainly see when a single menu item has a day’s worth or more of sodium. It should inspire restaurants to use less sodium and should reduce New Yorkers’ risk of hypertension, heart attack, or stroke.” “The new sodium warning rule will help New Yorkers make better informed choices and eat healthier. It’s a win-win for everyone,” said Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Health. Food labeling is already a regular feature in New York City chain restaurants, where calorie labeling has been required since 2008. The sodium icon easily fits into this system See NYC Health Dept Enforces , page 36

Maimonides Center for Bloodless Medicine & Surgery Makes Patients Safer Edited by: JV Staff

here have always been folks who, for religious reasons or safety concerns, want to avoid the use of blood transfusions. Over a decade ago, Maimonides Medical Center established the Center for Bloodless Medicine & Surgery to meet the needs of that group of patients. Over the years since we inaugurated the program, however, a growing body of research has shown that transfusions can pose unnecessary risks to many patients and should be avoided whenever possible. “We wanted to provide the best possible care for patients who objected to the use of transfusions,” said Dr. Richard Slatkin, the program’s founder and medical director. “So we assembled a dedicated group of clinicians to perform surgeries without transfusions. It turns out this was only the beginning of a whole new approach that impacts all patients.” Under Dr. Slatkin’s leadership, the expanded program uses evidence-based research and the extensive experience of his team to set new standards for excellence in patient safety and outcomes. See Maimonides Center for Bloodless , page 36

During surgery, “blood salvage” can take place, too. This means that during the normal bleeding that takes place in surgery, your blood is collected via a tube attached to a machine that separates your blood into its various components, “washes” the blood, and returns it to your body—in one continuous circuit. Another well-known approach has been around for many years: “autologous donation,” allowing you to donate your own blood in advance of your surgery, eliminating the risk of an allergic reaction.
