Trump: "Peace is Possible"; Bibi: "Dismantle Iran Deal" at NYC Meeting

Both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump huddled for private talks on a number of pressing topics at New York City’s Palace Hotel on Monday, September 18th. What was foremost on Trump’s mind was pursuing the possibility of achieving peace in the Middle East and for Netanyahu it was proposing amendments to the Iran nuclear deal

P

rior to their respective addresses on Tuesday at the annual UN General Assembly, both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump huddled for private talks on a number of pressing topics at New York City’s Palace Hotel on Monday, September 18th. Appearing together to deliver brief and introductory comments for the media before the start of their pre-scheduled meeting, Trump said: "Prime Minister Netanyahu has been a friend of mine for many years. We are going to talk about many important things, including the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. We think there is a good chance that this will happen. I think Israel wants peace, and that the Palestinians want to see it." "With the capability of Netanyahu and frankly the other side the Palestinians, I really think we have a chance," Trump added. Middle East peace has long been one of the US' most elusive foreign policy goals, and shortly after coming to power Trump assigned his son-in-law Jared Kushner and former business associate Jason Greenblatt with finding a way to secure the "ultimate" deal by getting the two sides back to the negotiating table.

"History tells us that this is impossible - in my opinion it is possible," the president added, according to an INN report. Trump did not mention Iran at all in his remarks prior to the meeting until asked by reporters. The Iranian threat was expected to be the main focus of Prime Minister Netanyahu's concerns during their meeting. Netanyahu told Trump: “Under your leadership, the alliance between America and Israel has never been stronger and never been deeper.” He continued by saying, "Under President Trump, America’s position toward Israel at the UN has been unequivocal, it’s been strong, it’s got both clarity and conviction.” His focus, however, was clearly on Iran, according to an i24 News report. “I look forward to discussing with you how we can address together what you rightly call the terrible nuclear deal with Iran and how to roll back Iran’s growing aggression in the region, especially in Syria,” the prime minister added. Netanyahu, who famously brandished a diagram at the 2012 UN General Assembly showing how close the Islamic Republic was getting to nuclear weapons capability, used his face time with Trump and is expected to use his address at the gathering of world leaders

on Tuesday to take aim at Iran. During their closed-door meeting, Netanyahu reportedly presented Trump with a proposal for quitting or significantly amending the deal which offered Iran sanctions relief in exchange for

“We are going to talk about many important things, including the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. We think there is a good chance that this will happen. I think Israel wants peace, and that the Palestinians want to see it." – Donald Trump curbing its nuclear program. I24 News reported that Trump, when asked by reporters whether he has decided to revoke US participation in the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, said "you'll see very soon." On Sunday evening in New York City, Ha’Aretz reported that Netanyahu also held a personal meeting with Ronald Lauder, the long time president of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) who has advised President Trump on the peace process between Israel and her Palestinian neighbors. According to

the Ha’Aretz report, Netanyahu also met with the leaders of a number of Jewish American organizations which marked the first such meeting to take place since the Israeli government's decision earlier this summer to scrap a plan for establishing a permanent egalitarian prayer space at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Three sources with knowledge of the discussion in New York told Haaretz on Sunday night that the meeting has been "good" and "positive," and described the prime minister's approach as "forthcoming." The Times of Israel reported that later in the afternoon on Monday, Netanyahu met with the president of Panama, Juan Carlos Varela; the prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe; and Rwandan President Paul Kagame at the UN. Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven had sought a meeting as well, but Netanyahu refused, likely because Israel is still angry over Stockholm’s 2014 recognition of a Palestinian state, though Israeli officials on Saturday cited scheduling difficulties. Also on Monday, President Trump told the United Nations nuclear watchdog on Monday in a message read out by his Energy Secretary Rick Perry that the United States will pull out of the 2015 Iran nuclear accord if it is not sufficiently monitored.

As the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano repeated that Iran was subject to the "world's most robust nuclear verification scheme," as the Iranian nuclear chief hit back fiercely at Washington's criticism of the deal, urging the IAEA to resist "unacceptable demands". Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal is set to be a flashpoint at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York this week, with Trump and a slew of senior advisers taking aim at Iran, while European signatories express confidence in the accord. France's foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned that salvaging the Iran nuclear deal was "essential" to prevent other countries from seeking nuclear weapons. "It's essential to maintain the agreement to prevent a spiral of proliferation that would encourage hardliners in Iran to pursue nuclear weapons," Le Drian said, according to an i24 News report.

Jack Martins Renews His Call for a Law Modeled After What He Proposed as State Senator

W

hite-supremacist groups have been successfully recruiting “Jew haters” and members of the “Nazi Party” through ads on Facebook. As per the NY Post, Facebook users who “liked” hateful subjects such as “How to burn Jews” or “Why Jews ruin the world” would be targeted by ads, to join the cause. “Want to market Nazi memorabilia, or recruit marchers for a far right rally? Facebook’s self-service ad-buying platform had the right audience for you,’’ stated an article by ProPublica, the nonprofit website which investigated the matter. ProPublica ran a test run to see how the ads would work. It paid $30 for promoted posts in three anti-Semitic group categories including “Jew haters”, “Nazi Party” and “German Schutzstaffel”. Facebook approved the ads within 15 minutes, rapidly selecting audience categories from its ad-buying platform.

assau County Executive candidate Jack Martins last week renewed his call for a stronger anti-BDS law in Nassau County in light of the Roger Waters concerts at Nassau Coliseum. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is an anti-Israel movement supported by Roger Waters. “There should be no room for hate speech in Nassau County – period,” Martins said. “This is not a First Amendment issue, as the New York Civil Liberties Union would like you to think. Roger Waters is entitled to do and say what he wants, but he should not be allowed to share anti-Semitic sentiments in a government-owned venue. Whether you are a white supremacist, anti-Semite or a bigot, if you are spewing hate-filled rhetoric you have no right to a taxpayer-funded contract.” “Unfortunately, the anti-BDS law enacted in Nassau County is fundamentally flawed in that it only applies to those engaged in BDS, and spares those who promote BDS, like Waters.

and colleague, Senator Simcha Felder, I introduced legislation to combat the BDS movement by prohibiting anyone who supports BDS from doing business with New York State. Governor Andrew Cuomo incorporated this more rigorous standard in an Executive Order he signed in June of 2016,” Martins said. “As a result, a boycotter of Israel like Roger Waters, who pressures other musical artists to not perform in Israel, will be allowed to perform at a county-owned facility, though he would be barred from a stateowned venue,” Martins said. New York Comptroller Tom

DiNapoli has also taken on the issue by reviewing pension fund investments for any pro-BDS activity. “As County Executive, I will enact a local law modeled after the legislation that Senator Felder and I wrote and passed in the State Senate.

Weiner Asks for Leniency, Claims His Underage Sexting is a ‘Deep Sickness’ By Hannah Hayes

I

n a new court filing, the disgraced former Representative Anthony Weiner said that his sexting with an underage girl was not an “abnormal sexual interest in teenagers,” but rather the result of a “deep sickness.”

“My regret for my crime is profound.” On Wednesday, September 13, in a submission to the judge, who later this month will pass down Weiner’s sentence, his attorneys asked that he not be sentenced to prison time, because his offense “far less egregious than any sexting case that has been prosecuted in this district.”

Back in May, the 53-year-old Weiner, pled guilty to one count of sending obscene material to a minor; this minor was a 15-yearold girl in North Carolina. A prison term of approximately two years was suggested by the federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York as part of his plea agreement. ABC News reports, “The case — revealed by the Daily Mail, which paid the girl $30,000 for her story — inadvertently factored into the presidential election and the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. When agents searched Weiner’s laptop, they found Clinton-related emails from his estranged wife, Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide, prompting then–FBI Director James Comey to announce in October that he reopened the

behavior was included in his sentencing submission/ The memo stated, “Adulation from strangers allowed Anthony to avoid grappling with his emotional deficits — at least until his career and personal life crashed down spectacularly.” Weiner appeared in a separate court for the preceding for his divorce with Abedin, on the same day the document was filed. On the same day Weiner entered his guilty plea, Abedin filed for divorce. However, she was kind enough to write in support of him getting leniency. the disgraced former In a letter to the judge that was Representative Anthony included in the sentencing subWeiner said that his sexting with an underage girl was due mission, she wrote, “This is not a letter I ever imagined I would to a “deep sickness.” (Photo write but with Anthony I have reCredit: Wikipedia) peatedly found myself in circumstances I never imagined.” investigation.” According to ABC News, A personal history of Weiner’s

“Abedin announced her separation from Weiner in August 2016. The two married in 2010, and in June 2011 he resigned from Congress, a month after the release of an explicit photo of him that he inadvertently posted on his Twitter account. At the time, she was pregnant their son, who was born in December 2011. He ran for mayor of New York in 2013 — a bid scuttled by a similar sexting scandal.” His defense lawyers wrote, “A term of imprisonment would bring Anthony’s indisputably successful treatment for the sickness underlying his crime to an immediate and complete halt and separate Anthony from the son who has motivated his recovery.” Weiner wrote in his own letter to the judge, saying, “My regret for my crime is profound.”

De Blasio to Impose $2M Annual Fine on Big Polluting Buildings By: Ilana Siyance

O

n Thursday September 14, Mayor Bill de Blasio rolled out a proposal requiring thousands of NYC buildings to become more energy efficient. As reported by Reuters, the plan mandates for more than 14,000 buildings sized larger than 25,000 square feet to upgrade boilers and water heaters, and insulate windows and roofs by the year 2030, to meet new fossil fuel caps. Fines have been set for any building not in compliance, and that building will be prevented from received permits for any major renovations. The penalties would escalate in direct correlation with the building’s size and fuel usage. A non-compli-

ant apartment building of about 30,000-square-foot would be fined $60,000 annually, until the issue was resolved. A building with a million square feet, which failed to meet the requirements, would pay as much or $2 million per year. The proposal which will still need backing from the city council, is part of the city’s expanded effort to lead the battle against climate change, following President Trump’s withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. The President had said that the global initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would cost the U.S. trillions of dollars. Despite the White House’s decisions, hundreds of municipalities across the nation will still adhere to

John Banks, the president of the Real Estate Board of New York, already spoke up against the plan saying that the system is flawed because it considers only the size of a building, regardless of the number of occupants.

the Paris deal. New York aims to reduce its 2005 levels of emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050. “We’re not waiting on President Trump and his cabinet of deniers to address this crisis,” said Mayor de Blasio, in regards to global warming. “It is a sad statement that the actions of the president of the United States are putting his own hometown at risk.” The buildings targeted by de Blasio’s proposal produce nearly a quarter of the city’s emissions, according to hizzoner. As per city officials, the cost of the improvements for the large, older buildings may exceed $1 million. The plan calls for making low-interest loans available for the owners of smaller buildings.

It is estimated that the energy savings should pay for the improvements on most buildings within five to 15 years. The proposal will likely meet resistance from big real estate owners. John Banks, the president of the Real Estate Board of New York, already spoke up against the plan saying that the system is flawed because it considers only the size of a building, regardless of the number of occupants. “The city’s goals could inadvertently promote buildings that use less overall energy without regard to how the energy is used,” he said. “A trading floor with many terminals and employees might not meet targets, but an empty windowless building used for storage would meet the target.”

Judge Allows AIG’s Greenberg Claim of Defamation Against Spitzer By: Jonathan Stempel

M

aurice “Hank” Greenberg, former chief executive of American International Group Inc., may pursue large parts of his defamation lawsuit against former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, a New York state appeals court ruled. Wednesday’s decision by the Appellate Division in Brooklyn, New York came seven months after Greenberg, 92, reached a $9 million settlement with Eric Schneiderman, the current state attorney general, of civil accounting fraud charges first brought by Spitzer in 2005. The complaint “adequately stated that Spitzer acted with actual malice” in criticizing Greenberg, hoping to damage Greenberg’s reputation and career while bolstering his own, Justice Cheryl Chambers wrote for a four-judge panel. Greenberg and Spitzer were appealing a June 2014 lower

court ruling letting Greenberg pursue part of his case. The appeals court restored some claims that Greenberg brought against his longtime nemesis. “I look forward to proving the truthfulness of all the statements I have made about Hank Greenberg’s behavior as CEO of AIG,” Spitzer said in an email. “A decade of legal obstructionism by Greenberg will not obscure the facts.” David Boies, Greenberg’s longtime lawyer, said in an email: “We are, of course, pleased with the appellate court’s decision, which will now permit Mr. Greenberg’s claims to proceed to trial.”

5 Major Landlords to Build Up Midtown East Under Rezoning By Charles Bernstein

A

lmost half of all the commercial square footage that the city plans to rezone permitting for taller office developments in Midtown East owned by just five landlords, according to brokerage CBRE. Four of those landlords are well known in the local real estate industry and based in Manhattan, with “trophy towers” nearby Grand Central Terminal. On August 9, about 78 blocks in that area were approved by the City Council for rezoning. This decision was the result of five years of negotiations and debates, which were mainly focused on allowing the owners to sell the air rights of their landmarks, like Grand Central, to developers. The other important topic was how much builders would have to invest of their projects into public infrastructure. The biggest landlord, real estate investment trust SL Green Realty Corp., which controls 8.7 million square feet, is constructing what will be one of the highest towers in the country, 1 Vanderbilt, by using 1.2 million

square feet of air rights that are linked to Grand Central. Last year, after a drawn out legal battle with the former majority owner of the transit hub, SL Green finally won the air rights. According to data collected and analyzed by CBRE, these five top landlords own a combined 19.4 million of the 40.3 million commercial square feet in the rezoned area. Included in this data is the super tall 1 Vanderbilt of SL Green. Crain’s reports, “The second-biggest commercial landlord in the Midtown East rezoning area is Tishman Speyer, with 3.8 million square feet, or 9% of the share. Third is Vornado Realty Trust, with 2.9 million. (Vornado’s and SL Green’s figures include their jointly owned,

1.27 million-square-foot 280 Park Ave. Also, Tishman’s figure includes 200 Park Ave., which it manages and partly owns.) RXR Realty, a privately held firm based in Manhattan, is fourth, with 2.3 million square feet. Chinese conglomerate HNA Group is fifth, with 1.7 million, entirely because of its $2.21 billion purchase of 245 Park Ave. in May.” The site of President Donald Trump’s first big Manhattan project is also included in the areas footprint. Trumped teamed up the Chicago’s Pritzker family in the early 1980s to breathe new life into the failing Commodore Hotel next to Grand Central. The partners renovated the property and rebranded it the Grand Hyatt New York.

New Downtown Condo Tower Takes Some Unusual Design Twists By Mark Snyder

The first turn around, mentioned in a recent article in The New York Times, is unlike the usual model of having amenity spaces on the lower floors, this new building has them on the 86th through 88th floors, at the tippy top of this magnificent 912-foot structure. This new development also reversed where the largest apartments normally go. Bigger units tend to be on the higher floors, but all the studio apartments in this building are above the 61st floor.

Prospect Park Nursing Home to Become Luxury Apartments By Mark Snyder

O

n Tuesday, September 12, plans were filed by the developer of the Prospect Park West, a pre-war building that was once home to 140 elderlies, to convert it into 67 luxury apartments. However, records of the Department of Building show an interesting turn of events in that a space for an “adult day care” will be located inside the new development. In October, the property was bought for $84 million by the Harlem-based developer Sugar Hill Capital. According to the new filing, the developer purchased the property with the intentions of transforming nine-story building into fancy luxury apartments with overthe-top amenities like a pet spa, wine vault and fitness center. Records also show that the plans are considering including an adult day care and medical offices on the premise. According to Sugar Hill Capital Partners spokeswoman Erin Holin, all the plans are still not final, and the developer may decide to change certain amenities as well as possibly make some of the units into condos, instead of rentals. Holin explained that this building will offer the "ideal confluence of comprehensive

amenities, thoughtful design and convenient city access." The building is located in the prime, popular area of Prospect Park West, with fabulous views overlooking Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza. IBI Group’s architects were hired to design the project. It hasn’t been an easy path to get the original property, which was home to 140 seniors, vacated and part of Sugar Hill’s impressive portfolio. According to DNA Info, “The nursing home was abruptly dismantled in March 2014 when the owner, Haysha Deitsch, gave residents 90 days to pack their bags and leave before the facility shuttered. Most residents moved out, but a handful fought to stay and sued Deitsch and the

state Department of Health, which oversaw the facility. During the lengthy legal battle, residents said they were harassed and mistreated at the facility. Deitsch eventually settled with the final five holdouts for $3.35 million to vacate the building. Deitsch and the state are still embroiled in a number of suits. In August, a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge thwarted the state's attempt to throw out the Legal Aid Society's case against the Department of Health, which aims to change the agency's eviction policies for residents of assisted living facilities, reported the New York Daily News.” Throughout the borough of See Prospect Park Nursing , page 36

New Cornell Tech Campus Opens on NYC’s Roosevelt Island Edited by: JV Staff

M

arking a new milestone for the ever-expanding technology and entrepreneurship community in New York City, Cornell Tech on Wednesday, September 13th officially dedicated its new campus on Roosevelt Island. The campus will expand the mission and impact of the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute—an academic partnership between Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Cornell University— and directly foster technological innovation in key New York City industries. The Cornell Tech campus opening marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute’s ongoing work to foster innovation in New York and beyond,” said Professor Peretz Lavie, President of Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, while addressing faculty, local, city and state government officials, diplomats and press attending today’s new campus dedication. “In partnership with Cornell University, we’ve developed a model of graduate-level technology education that is unlike any other – one that’s tailor-made not only for New York City but for the challenges of the digital revolution. Drawing upon Cornell’s incredibly strong presence and network in New York, we’ve cultivated meaningful new ties between academia and industry, and de-

veloped an ecosystem that directly fosters innovation, world-class research and entrepreneurship, driving both economic growth and public good. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Technion faculty members and staff who took part in this incredible project and worked tirelessly to make it a success. We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve done, and we couldn’t be more excited to take this next step.” The Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute was established in 2013 with a $133 million gift from Joan Klein Jacobs and Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, founding chairman and CEO emeritus of Qualcomm. Since then, it has become a catalyst for global entrepreneurship and a driver of New York’s emerging tech ecosystem and local economy. The Jacobs Institute draws upon professors, research and resources from both Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, a leading global research university that has been vital in Israel’s emergence as the “Startup Nation,” and Cornell, a longtime leader in engineering and computer science with a strong presence in New York City. “The ultimate goal of the Jacobs Institute is not only to attract excellent students, but to give them the kind of excellent education that will ensure they are both prepared and excited to address the real-world challenges faced by professionals in their industries,” said Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs. “This new campus directly reflects that vision, and

will be invaluable in supporting the Jacobs Institute’s ongoing work to cultivate innovation and entrepreneurship for many years to come.” “New York has long been the financial capital of the world, but the city is also home to a wide variety of other innovation-driven industries that make it particularly fer-

high-tech sector. In the coming years, new research, innovations and companies coming out of the Jacobs Institute will directly contribute to the thousands of high-quality jobs that are expected to be created in New York, and will help to define the city as a leader within the tech sector of the 21st century.”

The campus will expand the mission and impact of the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute—an academic partnership between Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Cornell University—and directly foster technological innovation in key New York City industries.

The Jacobs Institute’s master’s degree programs—in Connective Media and Health Tech—focus on driving innovation in industries in which New York City has historically excelled, while always remaining anchored in technology. Graduates of these programs receive master’s degrees from both the Technion and Cornell—which, as of 2016, makes

Technion the first international university to grant an accredited degree on U.S. soil. The Connective Media graduate program, the first degree of its kind in the world, is centered on computer science and engineering, the human and social impacts of technology, and entrepreneurship. The Health Tech graduate program, meanwhile, focuses on the cutting edge of transforming how healthcare is delivered and experienced, and was designed to develop innovative new products and services that address real healthcare needs. The Runway Startup Program at the Jacobs Institute supports recent PhDs who are likewise able to draw on the resources New York City has to offer as they build on their research to develop tech companies on campus. Over the past three years, Runway postdocs have founded 16 companies—from a smart baby monitor to an urban planning analytics platform—and collectively raised $19 million in funding. “As an alumnus of the Technion in Israel and the Jacobs Institute’s Runway Startup Program, I’ve seen just how impactful a true culture of entrepreneurship can be, and I consider my time at the Jacobs Institute to have been instrumental in much of my own success,” said Assaf Glazer, CEO of the aforementioned innovative baby monitor company Nanit, and member of the January 2014 Runway Startup cohort. “ As a postdoctoral student in

“The ultimate goal of the Jacobs Institute is not only to attract excellent students, but to give them the kind of excellent education that will ensure they are both prepared and excited to address the real-world challenges faced by professionals in their industries,” said Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs the Runway Startup Program, Jacobs afforded me the resources I needed for my initial research and development, brand architecture, and networking. It quickly became apparent that New York City’s unique concentration of startups and consumer-focused companies would make it the ideal place to launch my business. New York City, Cornell Tech and the Jacobs Institute are true hotbeds of innovation, and I have no doubt that the new campus will extend that innovative spirit even further.” Last week’s dedication ceremony included Cornell University President Martha Pollack; Cornell Tech Dean and Vice Provost Daniel Huttenlocher; Technion President Peretz Lavie; Bob Harrison, Chairman of the Cornell Board of Trustees; former New York City Mayor, and Founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies Michael Bloomberg; New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio; and New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The new store was slated to debut in 2018 and span three-stories, occupying a total of 250,000-square-feet. As per the NY Post, however, the opening has been pushed back to 2019, and there is debate as to how dramatic the downsizing will be. Some sources insist the change will be “incremental” and only about 10,000 square feet smaller than originally planned. One industry source posed the worst-case scenario, saying the store could slash its size by nearly a third, or 70,000 square-feet. “The question becomes, given the environment, do they really need 250,000 square feet,” said one retail executive. “It sounds really big”.

I Landmark Theatres has opened a gigantic eight-theatre complex in Midtown Manhattan.

The duration of Landmark’s lease and the rent rates have not been revealed. According to Crain’s, “The new cinemas will show independent, foreign language films and documentaries in super luxe auditoriums. The theaters will have wall-to-wall screens with laser projection and oversized leather chairs, and electric recliner seats with footrests. The concession stand will serve artisanal treats like Melt ice cream sandwiches, Sweet & Sara vegan smores and Treat House goodies. The theater also has a full bar, JD's Place, and views of the Hudson River.” Landmark Theatres’ president and chief executive Ted Mundorff said, "We are creating a new destination for cinema. Today more than ever, audiences have

discriminating tastes and high expectations. We take great pride in our customer service and delivering the best in film and are confident we will exceed our customers' demands." Crain’s reports, “The new theater complex comes amid a building boom in arthouse cinemas across the city as newcomers enter the market and longtime players undergo renovations. At the same time, older unrenovated theaters are closing their doors. Another Landmark theater, the Landmark Sunshine cinema on the Lower East Side, is expected to shutter in January. That cinema has reportedly been struggling since 2012, when the local community board voted against a plan for the theater to serve food and drinks.”

The Story Behind the Man Who Created NYC's Ferry Fleet By Hannah Hayes

B

ack in March 2016, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the winner of the NYC Ferry contract to be Hornblower. Junior Volpe was well aware that his life would not ever be the same again. AS the ferry company’s director of special projects, Volpe would be responsible for managing the design, construction and delivery of a fleet of 20 high-speed passenger speed boats, as per the NYC Ferry contract. The order of new vessels was one of the largest in the history of U.S. maritime. 80 percent of the order had to be completed and delivered within just over a year, the summer of 2017. Volpe said, “Normally it takes eight or nine months to build a boat like this from scratch. Now we were going to be building more than a dozen simultaneously. Nothing like this had ever been done before.” According to an article in Crain’s, “Once Hornblower got approval for the design, the company found two shipyards in the Gulf Coast with enough capacity between them to handle the order. Volpe left his Wall Street office near Pier 11 behind and began spending one week a month at company apartments near the shipyards,

or the first time in a decade and a half, Midtown Manhattan got its first new movie theater on Friday, September 15. On West 57th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues, billionaire Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner's Los Angeles-based movie chain Landmark Theatres has opened a gigantic eight-theatre complex. The complex is 30,000-square-feet within the retail portion of the Durst Organization’s 32-story mixed used building, which contains 709 units and was designed by the Danish architect Bjarke Ingel.

either in Mobile, Ala., or Lafayette, La. By September 2016 he was living three and half weeks a month on the Gulf Coast, overseeing the work. Shipyards operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” Volpe explained to reporters, “When you’re down there, there’s no holidays. There’s no Sunday. You just go, go, go.” In 1999, straight out of the military, Volpe made the move from Brazil to New York, with only the desire to work in construction management. Volpe said, “I always saw myself in production, involved in making and building things. Building what? I didn’t know.” Crain’s reports, “His first job was as an apprentice fiberglass fabricator helping to build yachts at a shipyard in

Mamaroneck, Westchester. He worked his way up to joinery outfield manager, in charge of a yacht’s interior, and then moved into vessel design and construction. So when it came to overseeing the assembly of a fleet, he was not afraid to get into the details—like the welding style of the windows, the shade of paint and the upholstery fabric.” “We needed consistency. We didn’t want a passenger or a crew member to notice any difference between the boats from either shipyard,” he said. A month ahead of schedule, Hornblower delivered five ferries by May. This was enough to begin ferry service one month early, and a great victory for Volpe. He said, “I was nervous, stressed, relieved and proud.”

n under three hours, Mayor Bill de Blasio managed to promise Sheepshead Bay residents everything from new bus shelters and $20 million for updated/expanded sewer infrastructure to free adult literacy classes and a twice-per-year deployment of “skimmer vessels” to clean floating trash from the bay’s inlet. Whether any of these things come to fruition remains to be seen, but residents left hopeful and pleased that they’d been heard. City Councilmember Chaim Deutsch (D-Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Marine Park, Midwood, Sheepshead Bay) co-hosted the Town hall, which featured dozens of leaders from various city agencies like sanitation, transportation, and schools. It is the latest in City Hall’s ongoing events in different neighborhoods. Over 250 people attended the overflow event in PS 811’s cafeteria and auditorium. “It is important to tackle the nitty gritty quality of life issues, whether that’s a blocked driveway or marijuana smoking,” Deutsch told the crowd before touting some recent achievements of his own — $200,000 for extra trash pickups, over $15 million for renovations and improvements to local parks and

Located on Brooklyn’s southeastern coast, the 48th Council District is home to a diverse range of immigrant communities, senior citizens, city workers, and multi-generational families.

Among the local elected officials that attended the event included State Sen. Roxanne Persaud, Assemblymembers Steve Cymbrowitz and Helene Weinstein, District Attorney Eric Gonzales and Democratic District Leader Ari Kagan.

Quality of life issues did indeed dominate the line of questioning that ensued: Can the city provide training in trades, family ESL programs, and after-school programs?

Can you add more bus shelters and bus stops? When will our schools get air conditioners? Why aren’t bikes allowed on the Coney Island Boardwalk after 10 a.m.?

Berkeley spent approximately $600,000 to protect Shapiro and students who wished to hear him speak. Leftist activists slammed Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, as a "neo-Nazi" and a "white supremacist." The campus was placed on virtual lockdown as metal detectors, concrete barriers and police barricades were set up to keep the peace.

"So that means Berkeley has achieved building a wall before Donald Trump did,” he added. Local police were permitted to use pepper spray on individual protesters if the expected violence got out of hand. The extensive

security measures scared off the majority of the protesters, and the event was held without the feared violence. Three protesters were arrested for possessing weapons prior to the event. “No violence, no nothing. And now we are spending well into six figures so that I can say many of the same things. It's utterly absurd,” Shapiro said in his speech. Several protesters shouted outside the auditorium: “Speech is violent, we will not be silent!” “Thanks to Antifa and the supposed anti-fascist brigade for exposing what the radical left truly is,” Shapiro told the large audience. “All of America is watching because you guys are so stupid. It's horrifying, I am grateful, and you can all go to hell, you pathetic, lying, stupid jackasses." Shapiro praised the police for preventing violence at the event. "These are the folks that stand between civilization and lawlessness," adding that “the only people who are standing between those ATMs and the Antifa are the police, and all they get from the left is a bunch of crap.” Several scuffles occurred following the speech, when protesters clashed with police and counter-protesters. Two more people were arrested. (INN)

Atlanta Jewish Community & OU Assist Irma’s Florida Evacuees By: JV Staff

acing predictions of a direct hit from Hurricane Irma, the largest storm the Atlantic had ever seen, the OU’s Southeast Regional Director, Naftali Herrmann told his daughters’ nanny that they planned to evacuate from their home in Boca Raton to Atlanta. When he invited her to join them, she asked “Who do you know in Atlanta?” “We don’t know anyone,” was his response “But the Jewish community is one family.” Packing up their belongings, he took a last look at his house before driving away and felt emotional as he wondered what their house would look like upon their return. “Our house is our home”, he said, “It’s terrifying to think that our home which is supposed to be where we are safe can no longer afford that safety.” Naftali and his family were one family among an estimated 350 Jewish families who evacuated from southern Florida, to be embraced by the warmth of the Atlanta Jewish community; for most of them, they had never met their hosts before. Looking at the laughing camaraderie as the Florida visitors mingled with their Atlanta hosts at Kiddush, you would never imagine the worry they felt at what might happen to their homes- or the memories of the 20 hours spent in traffic, fearful

that they would run out of gas, and with a fear unique to observant Jews, that they would be stuck on the road for Shabbat. In the jubilant dancing at Kabbalat Shabbat, the festive communal meals at both of Atlanta’s largest shuls, the community-wide kumsitz on Saturday night and concert on Sunday morning, all of which had hundreds of attendees, one could sense the Florida families had found an oasis from the weeklong stress and fear they had experienced as they prepared for the hurricane’s arrival. The Atlanta Jewish community, known for its warmth and hospitality has opened its doors to hurricane victims before, in 2005 to evacuees from Hurricane Wilma and in 2016, to Savannah and Charleston evacuees from Hurricane Matthew. Once again, as soon as

calls went out that hosts were needed, community members eagerly signed up, offering their homes to Florida evacuees for as long as needed, with one family hosting 75 people for Shabbat dinner and others willing to not only house families, but even families with dogs, cats and a snake! But with the two largest Orthodox synagogues, Beth Jacob and Young Israel of Toco Hills at around 500 and 215 families respectively, to feed another 1500 people was as Rabbi Adam Starr of Young Israel of Toco Hills explained, “like bringing in another congregation”. Finding so much food to feed so many people was a challenge. The Orthodox Union was quick to step in and help out. With a $50,000 donation from See Atlanta Jewish Community , page 38

ow many Americans identify with white supremacist or neo-Nazi ideologies? According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, the number is surprisingly high. The survey, conducted in conjunction with the University of Virginia Center for Politics and published last week, surveyed 5,360 American adults for their views on radical movements in the US, including Antifa, neo-Nazism, Black Lives Matter, white nationalism, and the “Alt-Right”. While each movement or ideology was only supported by a minority of American adults ac-

If the survey is accurate, self-identified neo-Nazis outnumber Jews by roughly two-to-one in the US, with some six million Americans identifying as Jewish, or about 1.9% of the total population (including children).

cording to the poll, with a large majority opposing them, this minority sometimes translates into millions numerically. The Antifa movement - a violent far-left group which has instigated riots targeting addresses by conservative speakers like Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, and Milo Yiannopoulos – has the backing of only eight percent of American adults. But out of a total US population of some 324 million, that’s equivalent to between 20 to 21 million adults. White nationalists make up a similar proportion of the population, with 8% of respondents saying they backed white nationalism, compared to 65%

who said they opposed it. Even neo-Nazism appears to enjoy a surprisingly large following, with only four percent of American adults translating to more than 10 million people identifying with neo-Nazi ideology.

Argentine Investigators to Say Jewish Prosecutor was Murdered Report: Forensic analysts have determined that Alberto Nisman was murdered and did not commit suicide By: A7 Staff

A

team of forensic analysts has determined that Alberto Nisman, the special prosecutor who claimed that the former President of Argentina covered up Iran’s role in the deadly bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish center, was murdered and did not commit suicide, JTA reported Thursday, citing local media. A new toxicology report on Nisman’s body found traces of the drug ketamine, an anesthetic used on animals, and posited that at least one other person forcefully held him down around the time of his death, the Infobae digital news outlet and the TN cable news network said. The team of investigators plans to present the report next week to Eduardo Taiano, the lead prosecutor looking into the circumstances of Nisman’s death. Taiano will then decide how to present the evidence to the Justice Department, according to JTA.

Exclusive Jewish Voice Interview with WJC President Ronald S Lauder as We Enter the Jewish Year of 5778 Lauder, the former US Ambassador to Austria and the youngest son of Estee Lauder, is among the most prominent philanthropists in the Jewish world. By: JV Staff

taining Jewish solidarity.

What do you see as the greatest ? challenges facing the Jewish people

I firmly believe solutions acceptable to all sides are possible. The sheer complexities and political sensitivities that issues like the Kotel and conversion present should not deter stakeholders. Instead, what is required is more creativity, restored trust, and renewed commitment by all sides.

today?

One of the most pressing challenges facing the Jewish world today is the question of how to keep the flame of Jewish life burning bright. Reinvigorating Jewish communities outside of Israel and instilling in Jews around the world a shared sense of Jewish pride and responsibility is a vital priority. Every Jew, no matter where they live, should know what it means to be Jewish. What should we be celebrating in ? this Rosh Hashanah? As I reflect on the state of our people, I am proud that just 72 years after the Shoah, the Jewish people are standing stronger than ever. Despite facing continued, existential threats and vexing internal challenges, the Jewish people have persevered. Our community has much to be proud of, from a renaissance of Jewish arts, learning, and culture, to our homeland, a vibrant, sovereign Israel that serves as a beacon of democracy and liberal values. What can Jews around the world do in the face of the recent controversy surrounding the Kotel shared prayer space and disagreements about conversion legislation and the general subject of religious equality in Israel?

Israelis, for the most part, understand this and seek Jewish unity and deeper bonds with the Diaspora. They are likewise aware of the strategic implications and national security imperative of main-

tions General Assembly’s annual gathering in New York. What do you say to those who are skeptical that Israel and the Jewish people can ever be treated fairly at the UN?

Winston Churchill famously hoped that the United Nations would be a “true temple of peace.” But for much of its history, it has instead functioned as an anti-Israel political cabal. Thankfully, that seems to be slowly changing. The new secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, addressed the World Jewish Congress conference in May, and he assured us that he will do everything in his power to reverse the international organization’s history of anti-Israel bias. And the new US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, is a breath of fresh air. The UN’s culture of hostility toward Israel, cultivated over decades, will be tough to overcome, but I am hopeful that the UN will begin to treat Israel more fairly in the future. You are quite active philanthropi? cally in Israel. What recent projects are you most proud of?

?

At a time when the size of the Jewish community is stagnant, except for the Orthodox, we must do more to encourage Jewish people to feel included, not excluded. The Kotel, Judaism’s holiest site, is a great example: it should be a place where all Jews feel welcome.

As is usually the case, the High Hol? idays coincide with the United Na-

the Palestinian front, what can ? beOndone to advance the peace process? Is a deal still attainable?

Yes, I believe deep in my bones that a two-state solution is still within reach. It remains a vital national interest, not just for Israel, but for the Jewish people more broadly. Given current demographic trends, inaction is simply not an option. With common economic and security interests binding all sides, and a palpable shift in the Arab world’s attitudes toward Israel, there has never been a better time to achieve a deal. I am confident President Trump will make significant progress in the months ahead.

My family’s love of Israel is central to our identity. Our recent philanthropy in Israel has focused on the intersection of education and economic opportunity. We funded a new, state-of-the-art dormitory at Technion, which opened a few months ago. When I first visited the campus, I was in awe of its dynamism— it’s very much the engine that powers the “Startup Nation.” At the opposite end of the country, in the Negev, I’m proud to have founded the Lauder Employment Center in Beersheba, which connects students at Ben-Gurion University with quality jobs and local civic life.

? Any final words? I want to wish all of your readers a happy, healthy, and fulfilling new year. Shanah Tovah U'metukah.

Israeli, Foreign Leaders Pay Tribute Police to Investigate Haredi Riot; Erdan: Cops Apparently ‘Lost Control’ to Peres on 1st Anniversary of Death By: TPS

By: TPS

P

olice “may have lost control” of a protest by ultra-Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem Sunday, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said Monday, but added that demonstrators also attacked police officers. Speaking to the Israel Broadcast Corporation (Kan), Erdan noted that nine officers were injured in the melee, which took place. But he said that video footage of officers kicking, beating and pushing non-violent protesters were “appalling” and that the police internal investigation department unit would investigate the incident. “At least from the footage, it appears that the officers lost control and used unreasonable force,” Erdan said. Nine officers were wounded and the same number of haredim arrested as hundreds of people descended on the outskirts of the capital’s haredi Geula neighborhood to protest plans to apply the IDF military draft to ultra-Orthodox youth, blocking roads and throwing rocks at police. One of the detainees was the grandson of Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Kohn, leader of the Toldot Avraham Yitzchak sect in the Meah Shearim neighborhood a short distance from the protest Haredi protests in north-

ern Jerusalem have become frequent in recent years as the army has cracked down against draft-dodgers – individuals who opt out of military service in order to study in religious seminaries (yeshivot) but who do not actually attend classes. In addition, haredim have frequently protested against IDF programs to create frameworks in the army that are consistent with haredi mores and values, and ultra-Orthodox soldiers are regularly subjected to verbal abuse and physically attacked in haredi communities around the country. Left-wing politicians were quick to condemn the violence. “Yet another instance of police violence,” said Meretz Party

Chairwoman Zahava Gal-on. “We’ve seen incidents like this in the past, but they passed as if nothing happened. “I call on the police to bring the officer to justice.” Former Defense Minister Amir Peretz added that while he supports efforts to apply the draft to the haredim, it is no less important to ensure citizens’ right to protest. “Police and border police units are responsible for the most fractious, explosive points in Israeli society,” Peretz said in a media statement. “Despite the complicated [nature of these issues] we must not allow ourselves to get to a situation in which we lose control.” (TPS)

ormer British Prime Minister Tony Blair praised the late President Shimon Peres last Thursday, saying Peres “drew upon the best of the Jewish character” in order to build a country that would be a gift to the world” Blair cited Peres’ connection to Jewish history – “sustained through pogroms, persecution and holocaust, often battered but never subdued” – and said the former president, prime minister and defense minister was animated by a vision of creating a better world. “He never gave up on peace with the Palestinians or on his belief that peace was best secured by an independent State of Palestine alongside a recognized State of Israel,” Blair said. “One of our last conversations was on how to change the plight of the people of Gaza.” He grasped completely the extraordinary potential there would be if Israel and the region were working together, not simply on security, but on economic advance, technological breakthrough and cultural reconciliation,” Blair added. Other speakers at the official state memorial for Peres at Mount Herzl included President Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin, former US Secretary of State Henry

Kissinger, and members of the Peres Family. President Rivlin, who as a member of the right-wing Likud Party was a long-term political rival of Peres, who was a member of the Labor faction, praised his predecessor as an inspiration to the current generation of Israelis. “You have left us much more to do, but the path you paved, the dream you spoke of, and most of all, your determination and faith, will be with this people for generations to come, and you will continue to be an advocate of all of us.” Peres’ son Chemi, who serves as chairman of the board of the

Peres Center, added that his father struggled “all of his life with his tremendous love for the State of Israel,” but bemoaned the fact that the elder Peres never saw his dream of peace realized. “While he fought to build the nuclear bomb in Dimona, he also fought against mountains and demons to make the impossible possible. It took courage to dream, and even more courage to achieve the dream and to see it become reality…I ask, in the spirit of my father, that you don’t stop dreaming and daring, because it’s the best thing that could happen to our beloved country,” Peres said.

Letters to the Editor Critiquing the VAAD of Lakewood Dear Editor: The VAAD of Lakewood has promoted rapid unsustainable growth, favoritism, and a general disdain for simple law and order when it is convenient for themselves. Along with their leadership the anti-Semitic rhetoric in our area has grown. —Ultimately it is the VAAD’s actions with the help of certain township committee members and members of zoning and planning that do their bidding that have caused so much hatred towards the Lakewood Jews. How dare they make any demands about anti-Semitic rhetoric from anyone when they are stoking the fires of anti-Semitism themselves. They have used all resources for themselves. They have allowed others to take advantage of taxpayers as long as they can get what they want. They have caused everyone to hate us, and they refuse to

stop what is causing us to be hated more every day. For many years people have been ranting at me that the VAAD and some people in our government are stealing our money. I used to say I highly doubt anyone is actually stealing from us. Now I realize they have done so much worse. They ruined our image in Lakewood and have caused a chillul Hashem that resonates throughout the world. No public relations firm. No paying off reporters from the Asbury Park press will change any of that. If they are truly concerned about anti-Semitism, they know what needs to be done to stop giving fodder to those that hate us. But money for the chosen few is obviously more important. Sincerely

Herschel Hershkowitz

Between War and Peace Dear Editor: Perhaps not since Josephus Flavius, two millennia ago, has there been as gripping an account of the fall of Jerusalem — a third time — as is now available for the first time in English. The account comes in the form of a diary extract in a newly translated book describing the fall of Jerusalem in 1948, neighborhood by neighborhood, synagogue by synagogue, yeshiva by yeshiva, as recorded in real time by Shear Yashuv Cohen, then a frum soldier, before and during his capture by the Arab Legion and his appointment by the Jordanians and by the Israelis — long distance — as chaplain of his fellow prisoners. He was later elected deputy mayor of Jerusalem encompassing the period at the time of its reunification in the 6-Day War in June of 1967, and he was subsequently selected to deliver the benediction at the signing of the Peace Treaty of Israel with Jordan October 26, 1994;

in the interim, he was elected Chief Rabbi and Av Bes Din of Haifa, and head of the prestigious Machon Harry Fischel, among many other leadership roles. The book is entitled Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen — Between War and Peace, by Professor Yechiel Frish and Rabbi Yedidya HaCohen (Urim, 2017). There is still time to arrange for Rabbi Aaron Reichel, Esq., who co-edited and supplemented the English translation, to find a spot on his ongoing book tour to address your synagogue, hotel, bungalow colony, or camp about the book on the Shabbat before Tisha B'Av or even during Tisha B'Av itself. In the alternative, he will still be available, at Reichelaa@aol.com, at later times, especially during this 50th jubilee year since the recapture of the Har HaBayis Sincerely

The Media War on Trump Dear Editor: The head honchos in the hardened bunkered war rooms of MSNBC, CBS, CNN, ABC NPR, PBS, the NYT, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune and on and on, are not uniformed nor do they wear military eagles or stars on their jackets, yet they are the planners of the battle plan and the campaigners to defeat and bring down the administration of President Trump. Sadly, these members of the media, the Fourth Estate, those who are still guaranteed their freedom of speech, to write their opinions without fear of being shut down by the government, are committing suicide by joining together, as one, with the likes of the street mobs clamoring to destroy the Constitution. Apparently unbeknownst to them, they are supporting the demagogues such as George Soros and Barack Obama who are now invisibly leading the forces of chaos and revolt throughout the land. If this revolution is successful, their voices will be silenced. It happened in Germany, Cuba, Venezuela and is clearly taking shape and form within our borders. What makes these media giants deaf, dumb and blind to the threats to their Constitutional freedoms once the rioters, the thugs wielding homemade flame throwers, those who tear down public statues and burn down cities with the police standing idly by have destroyed our liberties? Once the Black Lives Matter, Occupy

Movement, the Islamists and the Constitution bashing Marxists take over do they think they'll be permitted to speak out with the freedoms they have now? Will anyone be able to express his or her opinions around the card table or on the golf course without being beaten, chained and hauled off to an American styled Siberia or Auschwitz for speaking out as a racist, gay basher, Islamophobe or woman hater? Juan Williams, the Fox News pundit was tossed out of his job by NPR for speaking honestly about Muslims. Yet he is in the forefront of shutting down free speech for others by referring to Republicans as "Fascists." Is he aware that the Democrat Party in which he proudly claims membership was the "Hate Black" party that still enslaves them with food stamps, abortions and hand outs? His Leftist buddies, were they in control of the nation (as he wants) would toss him out the window in a white-hooded moment if he ever uttered a non PC word. We are now headed down the slippery slope to totalitarianism, fascism and one party rule and those who would suffer the most are sadly in the lead. Recall where those who initially supported Nazism and the Soviet Revolution ended up. Something about paying the penalty for not studying and learning about the past pops up in my head. Sincerely

Alt-Left = Alt-Right Dear Editor Last night I posted my support for Trump on a site that I did not realize was extremely to the left or liberal. A few lessons learned: The liberals on the site will never accept Mr. Trump no matter what he says. This morning, listening to the TV news, all I heard was criticism of the president. As you know, I am a product of the Holocaust, having lost most of my family including two siblings to the Nazi murderers. Those on this vicious liberal site were told this by me, yet they called me horrible names including Nazi and Hitler lover and said that Hitler should have murdered me too. They said with Mr. Trump in office all the Jews will be sent to gas chambers.

In the eighties Rabbi Kahane, ztk’l and I appeared on numerous TV shows debating and denouncing the KKK, skinheads, neo-Nazis and other anti-Semites. Today it is not easy to distinguish the alt-left from the alt-right. The left also contains many who are anti-Semitic but camouflage it in their liberal rhetoric. I would like the opportunity as I did in the eighties and nineties to debate both sides and let the truth come out. I need your help. Please reach out to the media requesting that I be invited to speak. Sincerely

What Happened to the ADL? By: Ruthie Blum

which must remain bipartisan and should be concentrating on anti-Semitism to issue such a statement breaches all conventions. It is totally beyond the ADL's mandate to involve itself in such partisan political issues." Yet this is just what Greenblatt did. In a September 13, 2016 article in the journal Foreign Policy, he contested a video clip of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointing to the Palestinian Authority's outright refusal to have even a single Jew reside within the boundaries of a future Palestinian state. In the piece, titled "Sorry, Bibi, the Palestinians are not 'ethnic cleansing' Jewish settlers," Greenblatt wrote that Netanyahu "chose to raise an inappropriate straw man regarding Palestinian policy toward Israeli settlements." Far more questionable, however, has been the ADL's support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement — a group established in 2013 to counter police brutality against African Americans, but that quickly mushroomed into a full-fledged "intersectional" anti-American, anti-white, anti-Israel, pro-radical Palestinian organization. About this, too, Greenblatt made what critics claim is a convoluted statement — saying that the ADL has no "official relationship with the body of activists who claim membership in this effort," and attributing its "anti-Israel — and at times anti-Semitic — positions" to a "small minority of leaders within the Black Lives Matter movement."

sponded to a Fox News interview with a pro-Trump PAC spokesman citing World War IIera Japanese internment camps — when discussing possible ways to keep tabs on terrorists in the U.S. — by announcing: "I pledge to you that because I am committed to the fight against anti-Semitism that if one day Muslim Americans are forced to register their identities, that is the day that this proud Jew will register as Muslim."

n the months leading up to the U.S. presidential election in November 2016, a former director of the World Jewish Congress decried the direction in which the new head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was taking the international human rights group.

In a subsequent piece, Leibler called Greenblatt to task for having "lost the plot, behaving as though he remained employed by the Obama administration." Leibler cited the ADL's July 13, 2016 statement "welcoming the Republican Party platform on Israel," but expressing "disappoint[ment] that the platform draft departs from longstanding support of a two-state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict... the only viable way to se- Jonathan Greenblatt replaced long-time ADL director Abraham cure Israel as both a Jewish and L.

Isi Leibler — a prominent Australian Israeli columnist blasted Jonathan Greenblatt for turning the 100-year-old organization, whose mission is to monitor and expose anti-Semitism and other forms of racism, into a platform that "represents an echo chamber of left-wing Democratic politics." Leibler first took issue with Greenblatt's April 2016 address to the far-Left Jewish organization J Street, backed by anti-Israel billionaire George Soros.

Without naming names, Greenblatt was apparently referring to Steve Bannon. Greenblatt's openness about his political views was to be expected. When it was announced in November 2014 that he would be replacing long-time ADL director Abraham L.

When Great Institutions Lie – Part II So long as institutions pay no price for the exploitation of their name by agenda-driven members, they will not rein in their members By: Caroline Glick

A

(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)

t the same time, they really don’t like Israel much at all. The survey’s Jewish students “struggle with Israel,” whose actions “generally often contradict their own political values.” Here we begin to see the ideological purpose of the pseudo-academic Stanford study.

The study went on to explain that its student correspondents have been intimidated into silence by the “tone of campus political activism in general, and around Israel and Palestine specifically.” First things first. The uninvolved students who think that Israel’s actions “generally often contradict their own political values” told Kelman and his colleagues that they are offended by “the accusation that American Jews are responsible for the actions of the Israeli government.” And this makes sense because that accusation is self-evidently a form of antisemitism. Like antisemites who accuse Jews of killing Jesus, antisemites

on campuses is ascribe responsibility for the alleged “crimes” of the Jewish state to American Jewish students in California. So by “chafing” at the allegation, the students his researchers deliberately selected acknowledged that they are offended by antisemitism. But then, helpfully, they agreed with the researchers that antisemitism isn’t antisemitism. The study went on to explain that its student correspondents have been intimidated into silence by the “tone of campus political activism in general, and around Israel and Palestine specifically.” That tone, they said, is “severe, divisive and alienating,” and the students wish to avoid paying “the social costs” of involvement. So a study involving a deliberately selected, non-representative sample of Jewish students who acknowledge that they don’t think much of Israel still found that the atmosphere of the debate about Israel is so wretched that Jews who might otherwise have wished to participate are too scared to speak their minds. Somehow, the researchers managed to ignore this obvious finding. Instead of paying attention to the elephant in the room, Kelman and his team pretended the elephant was a

dishwasher. They concluded the problem isn’t the anti-Semites. Kelman told Tablet that in addition to being “turned off ” by people who blame them for Israel – that is, anti-Semites, “they’re similarly turned off by the assumptions of people in the Jewish community that all Jews will get behind the actions of the State of Israel.”

erately unrepresentative sample doesn’t care for very much. By conflating pro-Israel Jews and antisemitic Israel- bashers, the Stanford researchers give cover for continued antisemitism on campus. As they explain things in the name of their unrepresentative Jewish students, attacking Jews as Jews is just part of a legitimate, if alienating, debate about Israel where Israel’s defenders are as bad as its opponents. Students who call for Israel’s

By conflating pro-Israel Jews and antisemitic Israel- bashers, the Stanford researchers give cover for continued antisemitism on campus.

In other words, the antisemitism of the students who accuse them of responsibility for Israel’s policies because they are Jews is just as bad as the attempts by pro-Israel students to get them involved in defending Israel – a place Kelman’s delib-

annihilation and demand that Jews not defend Israel’s right to exist, are not antisemites for wanting to kill more than 6 million Israeli Jews and attacking anyone who doesn’t share their genocidal view. They are just partisans in a legitimate debate.

BDS supporters who wish to wage economic and cultural war on Israel and Israeli Jews just because Israel exists aren’t antisemites. They are just advocates of a legitimate policy preference. Anti-Israel activists who attack any American Jews who profess support for Zionism aren’t antisemites. They, like pro-Israel students, are just engaging in an unpleasant but entirely legitimate debate. By publishing their findings under Stanford’s name, Kelman and his associates are using Stanford’s brand to give credence to their pseudo-academic research whose transparent and pernicious goal is to end public debate about antisemitism on college campuses while keeping Jewish students intimidated into silence. Whereas the Holocaust Memorial Museum was rightly excoriated for its willingness to have its institution hijacked for narrow partisan ends that distort the historical record, media reports of the Stanford pseudo-study have been respectful. This is deeply troubling. So long as institutions pay no price for the exploitation of their name by agenda- driven members, they will not rein in their members. And over time, the American public’s faith in its national institutions will continue to diminish, to the detriment of the US as a whole. This academically worthless

The real purpose of the “study” was to use this deliberately selected group of students to shut down debate on the most prevalent and fastest growing form of antiSemitism on campuses: anti-Zionism. finding, published under the Stanford University letterhead, would be bad enough. But the fact is that this finding is the least sinister aspect of the study. The real purpose of the “study” was to use this deliberately selected group of students to shut down debate on the most prevalent and fastest growing form of antisemitism on campuses: anti-Zionism. The survey found that their interlocutors “reject the conflation of Jewish and Israel.” “They chafe at [the] assumption that they, as Jews, necessarily support Israeli policies. They object to the accusation that American Jews are responsible for the actions of the Israeli government, and they express similar discomforts with the expectation that all Jews should be Zionists.” Caroline Glick is the Director of the David Horowitz Freedom Center's Israel Security Project and the Senior Contributing Editor of The Jerusalem Post.

The Gateway Tunnel would provide additional tracks for both Amtrak and New Jersey Transit connecting New Jersey to Penn Station.

The Port Authority allocation of $2.7 billion within the approved $32 billion 2017 - 2026 ten year capital plan to help finance the Gateway Tunnel is just initial seed money. These dollars will be used toward debt service payments against a possible future federal Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement

This same plan only provided $3 of the $10 billion needed for a new 42nd Street Bus Terminal and $0 toward the $10 billion 30 year old proposed Cross Harbor Freight Tunnel. Both projects would be competing against the Gateway Tunnel project for funding in the next Port Authority 2027 - 2036 Capital Plan. Just how many dollars do Cuomo & Christie believe the Port Authority should increase the existing $15 toll over coming years to come up with their

respective $7.3 billion shares of the Gateway Tunnel project? In less than two years, initial cost estimates for the Gateway Tunnel project still in the environmental review stage have already grown from $20 to $29 billion with a 2026 completion date. It is reminiscent of the ongoing MTA Long Island Rail Road Eastside Access to Grand Central Terminal project. In 2001. the initial estimated cost was $3.5 billion with a completion date of 2011. In 2017, sixteen years later (based upon the 2016 MTA Federal Transit Administration amended Full Funding Grant Agreement) currently at $10.8 billion, could grow up to $12 billion with completion in 2023. Will Gateway do the same and become our New York version of the infamous Boston "Big Dig" end up costing $40, $50 or even $60 billion and completed by 2038? The Gateway Development Corporation reminds me of the character Wimpy who famously said "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Tuesday may never come for commuters and taxpayers who use NJT and Amtrak and need a new Hudson River Tunnel to be completed within their lifetime.

New Book Examines the Rise of Fascism: "The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left" By: Daniel Greenfield

A

lmost a century ago, President Woodrow Wilson watched approvingly as the title card appeared on the screen, "The former enemies of North and South are united again in defense of their Aryan birthright." Birth of a Nation was the first movie to play inside the White House. Many credit the film, based on the novel The Clansman, with reviving the KKK and exporting it from New Jersey to Oregon. Woodrow Wilson was the first modern progressive Democrat in the White House. The road to the Democrats that we know today ran directly through the White House where Birth of a Nation played. And so did the rebirth of the KKK. When the Democrats complain about the Klan, Dinesh D’Souza reminds us in The Big Lie that they were behind the KKK and they revived it not once, but twice. In the Democrat myth, their racism was a vestige of a geographical base that they abandoned as they became progressives. But in The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left, Dinesh D’Souza dives deep into the sordid and forgotten history of the left and exposes its “proto-fascist” roots. These roots are not geographical, but intellectual. It wasn’t land that corrupted them, but power. The Big Lie, D’Souza describes, is the idea that “the very people who champion the centralized state, have a long history of racism and racial terrorism, used the power of government against their political opponents… and continue to use cultural intimidation and street thuggery to enforce their ideology, insist that they are the ones who are anti-fascist.” Instead, he argues that the elements of fascism have historically been associated with the left. As D’Souza writes of Wilson, his was a “model of centralized power with him at the helm and all of society in supine obedience to progressive

leftist dictates.” The model, he notes, derived from the same Hegelian and Prussian sources as that of the totalitarian nightmare that was still to come. “Wilson ridiculed the American founders—he was the first American president to do so—calling their ideas about individual rights, decentralized power, and check and balances, simple-minded and outdated,” D’Souza writes. This would be-

come the ideological model of the Democrats. A political movement that had once stood against big government had become a big government party. Its elitist vision was innately hostile to rule by the people and to the traditions this country was founded on. The new plantation would be national with a big government as its master and all men as its slaves. Another civil war had been fought and won. Not by the North or South, but by the fascist left. Wilson would pave the way for FDR, the man whom D’Souza calls “America’s actual fuhrer.” He documents how the New Deal drew its inspiration from Mussolini’s fascism. The left admired fascism and Nazism for the same reason that it now looks to China. The left found a natural common cause with totalitarian movements that put their faith in a collective state run by the naturally superior elite. Nothing has changed. The left is an anti-democratic movement convinced that it alone holds the key to a better world. And The Big Lie invaluably documents how this anti-democratic cult dominated the Democrats. Gleichschaltung. It was the term that the Nazis used to describe the consolidation of control over all aspects of society. “Gleichschaltung,” D’Souza writes, “is precisely what the left is attempting today, not merely with American universities but with all of American culture.” D’Souza argues that it’s the basis for the left’s plan for America. He traces the campus wars back to the rise of Nazism. The treatment of Bret Weinstein at Evergreen State had its shameful roots in the persecution of Jewish academics in Weimar Germany. The scene that D’Souza describes from almost a century ago is oddly familiar today. Campus Nazis formed a committee against him. “They encouraged students to boycott his lectures. Nazi youth then showed up and disrupted Lessing’s classes.” Lessing castigated the campus Nazis “who accept

no individual responsibilities but pose as spokesman for a group or an impersonal ideal.” The impersonal ideal detached from personal responsibility is the essence of utopian tyranny. Its idealized perfection displaces any personal ethics, morals and principles. The street riots tearing apart America had their echo in Weimar Germany. The passionate defenses of Planned Parenthood had their origins in eugenics. Even the constant historical revisionism, the Big Lie, was born out of a conviction in a cultural power so total that it could not only transform the future, but reach backward in time to change the past and redefine meaning across all of human civilization. This power could transform the fascists of yesterday into the anti-fascists of today. Yesterday’s racists become today’s anti-racists even while championing a racial politics with echoes of the Third Reich. “Our fascist left,” D’Souza writes, “purports to be anti-fascist.” The left has created an American fascism built on opposition to the very thing that it is. The left claims to stand for tolerance and civil rights even as it intolerantly destroys every last vestige of individual freedom. A century of fascism has left us a divided nation teetering on the edge of tyranny. And the leftists who claim to be saving us from it are actually the ones doing their vest best to implement it. That is the Big Lie at the heart of the book and the political conflict that D’Souza lays out between big government and individual liberty in which, “the real fascists pretend to be anti-fascist while accusing the real anti-fascists of being fascists.” And when Republicans go on the defensive against accusations of fascism and racism, they miss the real threat from the real fascists and racists of the left See New Book Takes on the Rise , page 36

The Terrorist PFLP and Their Connection to Germany’s Parliament By: Bruce Bawer

I

n a remarkable decision taken at the end of August, Germany's Interior Ministry declined to bar the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) — listed as a terrorist organization by the US, Canada, the European Union, and Australia — "from campaigning as a political party in the September general election to the Bundestag." Yes, the PFLP — on a joint list with the Marxist-Leninist Party — plans to field candidates in this month's elections in Germany and run for Parliament. What is the PFLP? Formed shortly after Israel's Six-Day War through the merger of three militant groups — The Young Avengers (Palestinian nationalists), The Heroes of the Return (based in Lebanon), and the Palestinian Liberation Front (which operated largely out of Syria and the West Bank) — it is today, after Fatah, the second largest faction in the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Described variously as a blend of "Palestinian nationalism with Marxist ideology" and as "a Palestinian nationalist organization with different ideological out-

looks at different times (from Arab nationalist, to Maoist, to Leninist)," it has called for Israel's destruction and international communist revolution. Considered more radical than Fatah, it has, ever since its founding, routinely targeted civilians without remorse. During its early days, it was on friendly terms with Germany's Red Army Faction (the Baader-Meinhof Gang) and received funding from the USSR and China. In recent years the PFLP has been chummy with Iran. Half a century ago, the PFLP specialized in hijacking planes — it was the first Palestinian group to do so, and the first successfully to commandeer an El Al plane. That act, in 1968, is widely considered to mark the beginning of the modern era of international Islamic terrorism. On a single day in September 1970, its members hijacked three passenger flights headed from European airports to New York. In 1972, a PFLP member took part in the Lod Airport Massacre, in which 28 people were murdered at what is now called Ben Gurion International Airport. In October 2001, it assassinated Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi in retalia-

tion for Israel's killing of its top leader at the time, Abu Ali Mustafa (after whom the group's militant wing is now named). During the next few years, the PFLP focused on suicide bombings in Israel; more recently, it has kept busy firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip.

July 14, it murdered two Israeli police officers in Jerusalem's Old City and bragged that its "heroic operation" had successfully broken through "the security cordon imposed by the Israeli occupation forces on the city of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, breaking the arrogance of the

In November 2014, two PFLP associates murdered six people in a synagogue massacre in Jerusalem. On June 16 of this year, it collaborated with Hamas on a fatal attack in East Jerusalem; on

Zionist security which sees in the city and in Al-Aqsa an impenetrable fortress." Perhaps the PFLP's most famous operative is Carlos the Jackal, the legendary Venezue-

lan terrorist, currently serving a life sentence in France. Another high-profile member is Leila Khaled, who has been called "the first woman hijacker in history" and who has been allowed in recent years to enter many Western countries, including Germany, Sweden, Austria, and South Africa, to deliver speeches, meet with fellow communists, and confer with supporters of movements that try to destroy Israel economically. If it seems exceedingly inappropriate for these countries' governments to afford Khaled such treatment, consider that the UN, the EU, and a number of European countries, including Germany, France, Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, have funded non-governmental organizations with links to PFLP — among them Addameer, AlHaq, the Alternative Information Center, the Health Work Committee, Stop the Wall, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, and the Union of Agricultural Work Committees. At least one of the groups in question, according to NGO Monitor, was founded and is run by the PFLP; others have convicted

terrorists on their payrolls and/ or have abetted PFLP and its members in one way or another. There has, however, been remarkably little media attention paid to the fact that at least some of taxpayer money donated by these Western countries has found its way into the PFLP's coffers, and more than $300 million annually to the salaries of terrorists. But of all the actions taken by Western governments and international organizations that have benefited the PFLP, none has come as close to legitimizing it as Germany's decision to let it field candidates in this month's elections. "For observers of terrorism in Germany," wrote Benjamin Weinthal in the Jerusalem Post, "it is unclear why the ministry is reluctant to outlaw the Palestinian organization."

Does Taking in Refugees Cause Terror? – A Closer Look at the London “Tube” Attack By: Daniel Greenfield

L

ast decade, Ronald and Penelope Jones were being feted for their work as foster parents. Now their suburban Surrey home was raided in an investigation into the train bombing in London. The Joneses had won praise for fostering hundreds of children. But their growing interest in taking in refugees from Muslim countries turned their pleasant home with its wooden fences and green backyard into a ticking time bomb. And that bomb may have gone off at the Parsons Green station leaving behind flash burns and horror. Earlier, the Joneses had admitted that, “We’ve had a real mix of children from Iraq, Eritrea, Syria, Albania and Afghanistan.” The tidal wave of refugees from these countries has swept across Europe bringing terror and death. Ronald Jones, 88, and Penelope Jones, 71, like so many well-meaning Westerners, had no idea what they were letting themselves in for until the police were hammering at their door. Now they themselves have been turned into refugees, seeking shelters with relatives, while the police search for clues to the latest terror attack. The couple became interested in fostering “refugees” when the media barraged helpless listeners with sob stories of Syrian suffering. But while they spoke

often of children, the actual migrants are adults. At the center of the case is Yahyah Farroukh, a Syrian, in his twenties. Farroukh was no child. Neighbors described a constant flow of traffic to the Jones home. The visitors wore the traditional Islamic clothing often associated with the Jihadists who are the core of the European terror threat. Prayer mats were set out in the garden. And there were constant cell phone conversations. Farroukh allegedly invaded Europe by taking a migrant boat from Egypt to Italy. Another of the alleged Jones “refugees” is an 18-year-old Iraqi from Baghdad who had apparently been monitored by law enforcement. And may have even been previously arrested. A refugee charity allegedly helped bring him to the UK. And arranged to have him placed with the Joneses. The Iraqi had overloaded even the endless generosity of the Joneses who reportedly found him troublesome and dangerous. And that must have taken some doing. It was this Iraqi whom police may suspect planted the bomb at Parsons Green station. And when the bomb went off on a crowded train on Friday, the holiest day in the Islamic religion, the manhunt began. The Iraqi refugee was arrested trying to buy a ticket to Calais. Calais to Dover is the route that refugees take to penetrate

the UK. The Joneses had spoken of one “boy” in their care who had “managed to get in a lorry travelling through Calais.” The Iraqi refugee suspect had originally come through Calais, but now he was headed the other way.

France has even better developed Islamic terror networks than the UK. And from Calais, it’s a few hours to the terrorist no-go zones of Brussels in Belgium, where terror plots originate and anything goes, or to the Islamic suburbs of Paris like Sevran. And the terror traffic may go both ways. Last month, Bachir Hamou, an Algerian, rammed a car into French soldiers near Paris. He was caught by French authorities in Pas-de-Calais. Where was he headed? The Joneses may not be the only ones who take

his destination, he would have found illegal contacts and allies to move him onward. The UK had already taken in “vulnerable” minors from the “Jungle” as part of a deal to dismantle it despite warnings that they might represent a terror threats. But the horde of migrants from Muslim countries are still besieging the UK and France. The news reports say that he penetrated the UK as an “unaccompanied minor”. And minors need foster parents to “care” for them. That was how the Joneses came into the story.

But many of the “unaccompanied minors” who arrived during the migrant surges that plagued Europe and America were never minors. They were adult men pretending to be teenagers. The Iraqi suspect in the Parsons Green bombing case hasn’t been named. The Syrian has. But the names and ages mean very little. Despite the vocal protestations of refugee activists and the media, we cannot vet or verify the masses of migrants who claim to be arriving from war torn terror states. The names and ages are meaningless. In Sweden, the migrants can be listed as “children” if they “don’t look over 40”. Back in the UK, a 12-year-old “child refugee” from Afghanistan raised his foster mother’s suspicions when she noticed how hairy he was. He turned out to be a decade older. His last words to his foster mother were, “I’ll kill you and I know where your children are.” Back when they were being feted for their dedication to fostering children, Mrs. Jones had said, “I treat them how I would like to be treated if I was in that situation." The trouble though is that Islamic terrorists aren’t Mrs. Jones. And when the shoe is on the other foot, it turns out to have a bomb in it. Westerners opened their hearts to the “child refugees”, but the children turned out to

The cuckoo’s eggs have hatched into vicious bombings and horrifying attacks. Sympathy for the Syrian devil ends in coffins and hospitals. We don’t know everything that there is to know about the Parsons Green attack. And considering the tendency of the authorities to minimize the terrorism angle, it’s possible that we never will. But we do know that thoughtless kindness to evil can be the worst sort of cruelty. Leftist critics tell us that Islamic terrorism is blowback for the cruelty of our foreign policy. But it is most often blowback for the misplaced kindness of their immigration policy. As we once again debate the Muslim travel ban, we ought to consider the case of an elderly British couple who just wanted to help. But their kindness was sadly misplaced. The wages of that kindness allegedly burst into a See Does Taking in Refugees , page 38

3 dead when buses collide at Queens Intersection

(VIN) Three people were killed and at least 15 others were injured after a New York City transit bus and a tour bus collided early on Monday in the city’s borough of Queens, before slamming into a restaurant, fire officials said. Passengers were pulled from the wreckage by firefighters after the city bus collided with a Dahlia charter bus shortly after 6 a.m. EDT (1000 GMT), according to Danny Glover, a spokesman for the New York City Fire Department. One unidentified person was found dead at the scene and two others were pronounced dead at area hospitals, according to New York Police spokesman. The remaining victims suffered injuries ranging from critical to minor. The cause of the collision was not immediately known. Photos posted online by the fire department showed the two buses slammed into the corner of a Kennedy Fried Chicken restaurant in the Flushing section of Queens. Mayor Bill de Blasio says experts are working to make sure it is secure. Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman Joe Lhota (LOH-’-tuh) says the buses spun around, which indicates “an enormous amount of speed.” Officials said firefighters extinguished a small fire that began after the crash.

NEWS IN REVIEW United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) this week in New York. During their scheduled meeting Monday, Netanyahu will reportedly present Trump with Israel’s position on Iran, and also address the subject in a speech during a UNGA meeting Tuesday. "Israel will not accept Iranian entrenchment on our northern border, which endangers not only us but also our Arab neighbors, and we are committed to acting against it,” Netanyahu said Friday night in New York. In addition to discussing Iran's military entrenchment in Syria, Netanyahu is also expected to express Israel’s opposition to the Iranian nuclear agreement brokered by the Obama administration and other world powers. “Our position is straightforward. This is a bad deal. Either fix it — or cancel it. This is Israel’s position,” Netanyahu said while traveling in Argentina last week. During a conference call with U.S. Jewish leadership ahead of the Jewish New Year, Trump stated, “The United States will always support Israel,” and that his administration has pressured the U.N. to address real security threats such as Iran, Hezbollah, and ISIS.

(JNS.org) Israeli rescue and humanitarian aid groups have deployed to the hardest hit areas in Florida, including the Florida Keys and Naples areas, in the wake of Hurricane Irma, which struck last weekend. In the Florida Keys, teams from the Israel Rescue Coalition (IRC) and United Hatzalah brought aid and medical assistance as well as much needed water and food to residents Tuesday. They also conducted house-to-house searches for

people who chose not to evacuate and were stranded by the hurricane. “The entire area is without water, power, food, plumbing or cell service and most of the homes are severely damaged,” Gavy Friedson, an EMT with IRC and United Hatzalah, said of the Florida Keys. “We are on the way to assist with search and rescue ops such as door-to-door searches for missing people or families – and unfortunately there is a long list of missing people.” According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), about 25 percent of the homes in the Florida Keys were completely destroyed and up to 90 percent were damaged.

Group offers US business students reallife Israeli business opportunities

(JNS.org) Some 175 college students with the TAMID Group recently attended the organization’s national convention, TAMIDcon 2017, in Washington, D.C. to engage in experiential learning with Israeli companies. TAMID Group is a non-profit organization that offers internships in Israel for American business students by providing work opportunities with Israeli companies. The organization showcased its program, including “the connections we make, the learning we experience, the companies we get to advise, and the community of supportive, sharp-minded people that surround us,” said Alex Danley, a George Washington University student and regional director of the Mid-Atlantic at TAMID Group. “I joined TAMID because it was the only organization on campus offering students real projects to work on, real connections to make, and a real sense of community and camaraderie with fellow members,” Danley said. TAMID, which has 46 chapters on university campuses and over 1,700 members, has facilitated approximately 65,000 pro-bono hours of consulting for students with Israeli companies, the group reported.

Jewish and Christian Zionists donate $1.5 million in gift cards to IDF soldiers

(JNS.org) The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship) and Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) said they will provide $1.5 million in annual Rosh Hashanah “Fellowship Gift Cards” to 12,000 IDF soldiers marking the upcoming Jewish New Year. The initiative, coordinated in collaboration with the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers and the LIBI Fund, will provide more than 10,000 lone soldiers and soldiers $140 gift cards. Another 2,200 soldiers will receive gift cards worth $100. The cards “will allow the soldiers to celebrate the New Year without the burden of financial stress,” the organizations said in a statement Wednesday. The vouchers can be used at some 90 major Israeli retail chains to purchase food, clothing, shoes, sporting goods, and leisure products. Significant media attention has focused on Israeli lone soldiers in recent years, particularly after two American-born soldiers, Max Steinberg of California and Sean Carmeli of Texas, were killed in the 2014 Gaza war. Some 7,133 lone soldiers currently serve in the IDF, with around 840 hailing from the United States.

It’s one of the world’s great economies. It’s great nation, a great people, a great culture. We want to be close, even closer, to Mexico. And this is what this meeting signifies.” Peña Nieto said the two countries agreed to update their free trade agreement, which was originally signed in 2000. Since then, Mexico has become Israel’s second largest trading partner in Latin America after Brazil. The Mexican leader added that Israel and his country also agreed to bolster cooperation on cyber security as well as in other areas of cooperation including “water, entrepreneurship and agriculture.”

A crude explosive device went off, injuring at least 22 people. “This was a detonation of an improvised explosive device,” Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley of the London Metropolitan Police said at a press conference, as police began a manhunt for the attackers. “Israel stands in solidarity with the people of London. Our thoughts are with #ParsonsGreen victims & their families at this difficult time,” Israeli Ambassador to the U.K. Mark Regev wrote on Twitter. Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely also condemned the attack on Twitter, saying "Israel condemns the #terror attack in London.

(JNS.org) A new in-depth survey conducted by the U.K.based Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) found that around 30 percent of the British public hold at least one anti-Semitic viewpoint. The report noted, however, that most of the 30 percent polled also held some positive views about Jews. Further, around 15 percent of the British public indicated they agreed with two or more anti-Semitic views presented to them, while two percent of British adults polled were found to be “hard-core” anti-Semites. The survey was conducted by JPR senior research fellow Dr. Daniel Staetsky using face-toface interviews and online polls. In his report on the survey, Staetsky noted that the level of anti-Semitism in Britain remains among the lowest in the world. The JPR survey follows reports in August that one in three British Jews have considered leaving the U.K. over safety concerns related to anti-Semitism. In July, police data acquired under British freedom of information laws detailed a 45-percent increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes in the U.K., including verbal and physical abuse as well as vandalism.

MIDDLE EAST Bahrain’s king condemns Arab boycott of Israel

(JNS.org) Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa has condemned the Arab world’s boycott of Israel, saying its citizens are free to visit the Jewish state, in a declaration of worldwide religious tolerance facilitated by the Los-Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center. Although the Persian Gulf nation has no diplomatic relations with Israel, Khalifa’s announcement was unveiled last week at the center’s interfaith event in California.

Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, who head the center, said the Bahraini king issued the declaration during their visit to the country’s capital city of Manama earlier this year. “The most exciting part of the visit was listening to His Majesty outline his vision for a new Middle East — one solidly based on the principles of inclusion and human dignity that rejects extremism,” Hier said. “May the day come soon when His Majesty’s plane lands at Ben-Gurion Airport, and when the anthems played here tonight will be heard around the world ushering in that long-awaited era of lasting peace and tranquility,” he added.

Russia reportedly rejected Israeli demand to keep Iranians from border

(JNS.org) Russia reportedly rejected a demand by Jerusalem for an extended buffer zone in Syria to keep Iranian forces away from the border with Israel’s Golan Heights. During talks preceding a July ceasefire agreement, Israel asked both Russia and the United States to block an Iranian presence near the Golan Heights border, but Russia refused, Haaretz reported. According to the report, the Israelis demanded a buffer zone in Syria from 60-80 kilometers (37- to 50 miles) from its Golan Heights border, but the Russians promised only to keep Iran and its allies from not coming any closer than 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). While the report said no Iranian presence has been detected along the border region over the past few months, Israeli officials are concerned about a gradual buildup of Iranian or Hezbollah forces in the region.

Shin Bet seizes cash designated for reconstruction of terrorist's home

(JNS.org) Israeli security forces in a nighttime raid early last Thursday seized $13,500 cash donated by the Palestinian terror organization Hamas to rebuild the demolished home of a teenage Palestinian terrorist who murdered an Israeli woman. The funds were allegedly going to be used to rebuild Palestinian terrorist Morad Bader Abdullah Adais’s home. He was arrested in January 2016 for the brutal murder of Dafna Meir, an Israeli mother of six, in her home in southern Judean community of Otniel. The terrorist, who was 15-years-old at the time of the murder, was incited to carry out the murder by Palestinian Authority television broadcasts depicting Israel as “killing Palestinian youth,” according to Israel’s Shin Bet security agency. Authorities believe he chose Otniel because of its proximity to his village. Meir’s house was the first one he saw when he entered the community. The teen was arrested by the IDF two days after fatally stabbing Meir in front of her eldest daughter.

One of the naval scenarios had Israeli sailors facing a swarm of Hezbollah terrorists on jet skis and small motorboats loaded with fighters, divers and suicide bombers headed for the Israeli coast or ready to attack Israeli vessels at sea. Another scenario involved Hezbollah terrorists using jet skis to attack Israel without warning as a diversion from a major assault on Israel’s shores in other areas. Sailors also prepared for Hezbollah’s potential use of heavy rocket fire on the coast and its infiltration of Israeli communities near the border to kidnap civilians. “This is absolutely a scenario that could open the next war in the north,” an IDF naval officer who participated in the drills told Yedioth Ahronoth.

Netanyahu endorses Kurdish statehood ahead of controversial referendum

(JNS.org) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially endorsed Kurdish statehood ahead of a controversial referendum held in the Kurdish region of Iraq in late September. Israel “supports the legitimate efforts of the Kurdish people to achieve their own state,” Netanyahu said in a statement Tuesday night during a visit to Argentina. Although Israel has official relations with just three Middle Eastern countries – Turkey, Jordan and Egypt – it has long had warm relations with Iraq’s Kurds, who are Sunni Muslim, making the official endorsement ahead of the Sept. 25 vote gives the measure added weight. Israel’s position, however, clashes with that of the U.S. and Turkey, which both oppose the measure out of fear it could further destabilize the region. In particular, Turkey, which has long battled Kurdish insurgents within its own borders, fears the referendum could encourage independence for its Kurdish minority. At the same time, the fragile relationship between Israel and Turkey could be strained over Israel’s support for Kurdish independence. The two countries restored relations last year after a six-year freeze following the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident.

Polls Show 4 of 10 NJ Voters Don’t Know the 2017 Gubernatorial Candidates By Rachel Shapiro

T

he upcoming election for New Jersey Governor has failed to spark the interest of many citizens, despite it marking the end of Republican Governor Chris Christie’s reign, and it being one of the only two statewide elections to be held this year. Last week, Quinnipiac University released a poll showing that Democrat candidate Philip D. Murphy is 25 percentage points ahead of his Republican opponent Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno. It appears that the same low turnouts that occurred at the polls for the governor primary elections in June, will occur at the general election. Only about 13 percent of New Jersey’s 5.8 million registered voters showed up to vote in June. A recent poll by Rutgers University found that approximately four out of every 10 voters does not even know who Murphy or Guadagno, the gubernatorial candidates, are. Quinnipiac poll’s assistant director Maurice Carroll said, “It’s a stealth election. They’re campaigning like crazy but nobody pays attention.” The New York Times reports, “The recently heated back-andforth between Mr. Murphy and Ms. Guadagno seemed in part an effort to put the seemingly uninterested electorate on notice: Hey, there’s a governor’s race this fall and, yes, it could

It comes at a time when New Jersey residents pay the highest property taxes in the nation and voters have made it the top issue in the November election, according to the Quinnipiac poll. And it offers a Democratic candidate campaigning on a progressive platform that could be mistaken for the one proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders — a $15 mini-

She also revealed a new platform as she traveled around the state, which is ethics. She said she promises to “bring a new era of ethics and transparency to the State House.” She

Despite all this talk of ethics, Guadango is still part of the Christie administration, which was included in the George Washington Bridge scandal that resulted in a former top aide and an appointee of Christie being convicted of corruption. However, Guadagno was not personally implicated in the scandal. According to the NYT, “The election of the next executive in Trenton, the state capitol, isn’t even the state’s biggest political story — that would be the federal bribery trial of New Jersey’s senior Democratic senator,

“People ask me all the time, ‘Are you in a good place?’ I say, ‘Yeah I think we’re in a good place. I also thought the Brits we’re going to stay in Europe and Hillary Clinton was going to be president of the United States.’” Robert Menendez, which could have implications that reverberate far beyond the state. Against that backdrop, both candidates have been campaigning with the larger story lines in mind. Outside the federal courthouse here where Mr. Menendez’s trial is taking place, Ms. Guadagno’s campaign workers handed out packs of M&M’s candies, with a note attached saying ‘M&M’s: Murphy and Menendez’ that attacked Mr. Murphy for refusing to say whether Mr. Menendez should resign if he is convicted. Mr. Menendez has denied any wrongdoing in his case. But despite the polls showing a comfortable lead, Mr. Murphy said he is taking nothing for granted and plans to pursue an aggressive campaigning schedule.” In Paterson, Murphy told the audience, “People ask me all the time, ‘Are you in a good place?’ I say, ‘Yeah I think we’re in a good place. I also thought the Brits we’re going to stay in Europe and Hillary Clinton was going to be president of the United States.’”

ore than 1,500 residents of the city of Sighet in northern Romania marched last week together with senior officials from Israel and abroad and members of the Jewish community in Romania, in an event commemorating Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. The procession marked the culmination of a unique series of special events held in the city in memory of Wiesel. The events were organized by Limmud FSU and March of the Living in cooperation with

World Zionist Organization.

“I was deeply disappointed by President Trump's inadequate response to the recent expressions of antiSemitism” The special procession left Elie Wiesel's home and continued through the city until it reached the railway station from which Wiesel, his family and Jews from the entire region were sent to the Auschwitz death camp.

Dr. Zvi Berkovich, Honorary consul of Romania in Israel, the Prime Minister's physician, and son of Holocaust survivors from the city of Sighet, delivered a special message from Prime Minister Netanyahu: “Benjamin Netanyahu deeply appreciated Elie Wiesel and his work. He hopes that events of this kind will be held every year, helping to emphasize the importance of the universal messages Elie Wiesel promoted worldwide - tolerance, brotherhood, and the obligation to remember and never forget”.

The resounding theme of the addresses delivered by the speakers at the special march was that of “Never Again” allowing such evil and hatred as was manifested by Hitler and the Nazis during World War II to ever flourish unabated again. (photo credit: Moshe Milner)

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu also held a personal meeting with Ronald Lauder, the long time president of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) who has advised President Trump on the peace process between Israel and her Palestinian neighbors

as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He hit out at the US envoy to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, for making a "host of unjustifiable, peculiar demands" in talks with IAEA chief Amano in Vienna last month. These reportedly included that the IAEA inspect military sites in Iran, something which officials in Tehran have rejected. Reading out a message from Trump, Perry told the Vienna meeting that Washington would "not accept a weakly enforced or inadequately monitored deal". But Haley's demands are "far beyond the purview of the JCPOA and its collectively negotiated and well-defined provisions," Salehi said, according to the i24 News report. "We remain confident that the UN atomic agency, and for that matter the director general, will resist such unacceptable demands," Salehi told the International Atomic Energy Agency's annual meeting of member states.

Netanyahu has vigorously opposed the deal from the outset. Several unnamed Israeli officials told Haaretz newspaper on Sunday that the IAEA ignored intelligence from a Western "entity" which indicated suspicious activity at some sites in Iran. Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal is set to be a flashpoint at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York this week, with Trump and a slew of senior advisers taking aim at Iran, while European signatories express confidence in the accord. Netanyahu told reporters at his New York hotel on Friday evening that “the central message of the UNGA speech will be that Israel will not tolerate an Iranian military presence on our northern borders, which endangers not just us, but also our Arab neighbors,” as was reported by the Times of Israel. I24 News reported that in recent weeks Netanyahu, along with Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz have consistently raised the specter of Iran's

military designs on the south of war-torn Syria, including in a meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin. "While their conversations will be wide-ranging, we expect that Iran's destabilizing behavior, including its violation of the sovereignty of nations across the Middle East, to be a major focus," Trump's national security adviser HR McMaster said in a press briefing on Friday, referring also to Trump's mooted meeting with French president Emmanuel Macron. Israel fears that Iran will use the power vacuum in war-torn Syria and strong Russian influence to establish military bases in Syria with the aim of opening up a second front against Israel in the event of a war with Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militia. Netanyahu has said Israel will "do something" about the establishment of military infrastructure. On Friday, Haaretz newspaper reported that Russia had rejected an Israeli demand that a ceasefire brokered in July covering southwestern Syria include a 60-80 kilometer buffer zone where Iranian military activity would be prohibited. An Israeli official reportedly denied the report. (INN, i24 News& Ha’Aretz) In a related development, i24 News reported on Monday that a second envelope containing a suspicious substance was received at the Israeli consulate in New York City during Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to the city for the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli media outlets reported. The envelope was received hours after Netanyahu wrapped up a closed-door meeting with United States President Donald Trump at the city's Palace Hotel. It is the second suspicious package received at the consulate in three days. On Friday, an envelope containing white powder and a threat against the Israeli leader was discovered, prompting the building to be evacuated. The threatening letter was reportedly written in English. The mission is located on Second Avenue in Manhattan, just minutes walk from the United Nations headquarters where both Netanyahu and Trump are scheduled to deliver an address before the General Assembly on Tuesday.

Verizon CEO: We No Longer Want to Acquire Cable Companies By: Hadassa Zaboulani

erizon Communications Inc’s Chief Executive, Lowell McAdam, said last Thursday that the company is no longer contemplating purchasing any cable company. “We’ve moved on,” said McAdam at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference. “The facts show you can build it better than buy it.” America’s largest telecom will prefer to focus on building its own fiber infrastructure. "We did, I guess, about a year ago, go through a process of taking a look at cable companies. But the fiber infrastructure isn't there," McAdam said. Speculation over a possible merger with Charter Communications Inc has been ongoing since last year when McAdam told Wall Street analysts that a consolidation would make "industrial sense." As reported by the NY Post, McAdam spoke about the next generation of mobile networks, which he expects will be five times faster than a 4G network, plus have 10 times the battery life, and 100 times the throughput. “This is the platform that will usher in the fourth industrial revolution in the country,” said the CEO.

He was Verizon Wireless’s President from 2007 until 2010, and before that he served as and before that served as its executive vice president and chief operating officer. Under his leadership, Verizon took over complete ownership of Verizon Wireless by purchasing Vodafone’s 45 percent share in the company. More recently he helped the company launch

Oath, a Media and Telematics organization, formed from the company’s $4.48 billion acquisition of AOL and Yahoo. In April, Verizon committed to purchasing more than $1.05 billion worth of optical fiber from Corning Inc over the next three years, in order to advance its network infrastructure. At Thursday’s conference, McAdam also said that the communications giant anticipates announcing a content deal to acquire content for its Oath business by the end of September.

Elul & Rosh HaShanah – The Sands of Time By: HaRav Meir Kahane, ztk’l

T

he Jewish calendar is full of notations, red letter days that are meant to be both particular reminders as well as part of a uniform one: time is passing; the sands of life have run out just a bit more; the beard is a little grayer and the limbs just a touch heavier. Time. The Jewish calendar is a watchman of time, ram’s horn that blows not once a year but every time that a new time cycle begins. Every week is marked by a Sabbath that notes not only the end of the week passed but the beginning of a new one. It is both a reminder of seven full days passed out of our life – so soon! – as well as the opportunity to make the next period fuller, more meaningful, a reason for being. Every month is marked by a Rosh Chodesh, the consecration of the new beginning of yet another lunar cycle. The wheel of heaven has revolved yet another thirty days – so soon! – and we are that much older. The L-rd now gives us another month to prove that we are also that much wiser. It is not only another month, it is a new month. Above all, it is called Rosh Chodesh, the “head” of the month.

Is there perhaps here a hint to see how much wisdom has filled our heads during the mistakes and sins of the past one…? And every year has its Rosh Hashana, that peculiarly Jewish day in which there are no parties and drinking and abandonment of restraint; in which there is no hilarious laughter and noise that is a frantic and frenetic attempt to convince all (and oneself) that he is happy; there is no frantic clutching at pleasure before it escapes and – worse before I pass on; too soon, too soon. There is Rosh Hashana, the time past. Another year gone by – already? So soon! – and it is a time to see what the gray hairs and the added wrinkles and the slower reflexes have taught us. Rosh Hashana is one step closer to the gateway out of this world and into the next one. It is a time to rehearse the speech that we will make – all of us – some day, before the Supremest of Courts, as we attempt to explain the meaning of our lives below. Life is too short for fools. It is too long for those who know it was not given for happiness (if that comes, how wonderful, but how often does it appear, only in insignificant measures and at rare times, as drops of rain that fall on a parched desert leaving

no impact, changing nothing so that the traveler never knows it fell). Life was given for holiness and sanctity, so that we might rise above ourselves; so that we

supreme holiness that comes of loving and giving of oneself. “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li…” “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine…” the words of the greatest of love poems, Song of Songs;

might consecrate and hallow that animalism within us that threatens at every moment to escape and express itself in selfishness, ego and greed – sins that are themselves only the corridors to the crimes of cruelty and hurting others. Life is not a happy thing – it is a beautiful thing, and when one becomes the artist and artisan of that beauty that is called holiness, when one practices the

great because it is that purest of love, between the Almighty and the House of Israel. Consider them, for do they not contain the essence and the secret of true love? “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” When I am my beloved’s, when I give to her and give of myself and live to do for her and make her happy – then I am guaranteed that she is mine for she will, in turn, be doing the same for me.

The lovers who think of giving to each other must receive from each other. This is love, this desire to give, this desire to sacrifice and do for the other. Not for nothing was the Song of Songs called by the incomparable Rabbi Akiva, “the Holy of Holies” of all the books of the Bible. For the kind of love expressed in it IS holiness. Holiness is to escape from the selfishness and greed of the animal; it is to smash the passions and desires of the ego; it is to master the will that makes man seek only his own gratification. And is not love just that, in practice? Is not love exactly that, if it is true love? And not for no reason did the rabbis see in the Hebrew letters of the month of Elul the first letters of “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li – I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” Elul is the month of Tshuva, return and introspection. It is the month of scraping away the ego that has settled and crusted on our hearts and souls. If Passover calls for searching out the leaven in the home, Elul decrees removing it – the yeasty and bloated ego – from the soul. It is a time to note the calendar, the graying and aging, and to realize: Not for nonsense was I born and not with nonsense must they bury me.

Be good. Love. Love selflessly; cease speaking evil, cease thinking evil; cease searching out evil in your fellow human beings. Cease seeking to grow at the expense of others. For one who climbs on top of the man he has just chopped down is not taller. He is the same dwarf standing on his victim’s height. Be wary lest you hurt the one you love. Think before you act towards the other person. Be good as a person, as an individual, and your part of the world will become holy. Then, if others emulate you, the world will suddenly and automatically turn beautiful and hallowed. It is Elul. Think of your beloved – all the people of the earth – and think of your particular beloved. Give of yourself and you will receive that which no amount of grasping and scheming can ever bring you: self-respect. Love the other and you will learn to like yourself. Be holy, for the One who made you is Holy and for this He placed you on this earth. It is another Elul, yet another one. How many more are left? (The above article was written by Rabbi Meir Kahane, ztk’l on 2 Elul 5737 (September 2, 1977) and is excerpted from the anthology of Rabbi Kahane’s collected writings over the course of his lifetime)

When we ask G-d for ‘life’ on Rosh Hashana, we are asking Him for an attachment to Himself, an attachment to Life Eternal. In fact, the sages tell us that the mitzvoth we are commanded to perform actually sustain and nourish our connection

to G-d. The more we perform them, the more we ‘live’. The Mitzvah of blowing the shofar on Rosh Hashana is meant to make us aware of this idea. The Shulchan Aruch (Codified Jewish Law) notes an interesting case. May one blow a shofar within a shofar during the holiday? The Shulchan

PARSHA

PAGE 35

Chassidic Insights for Parshah Haazinu From the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe Adapted by: Moshe Yaakov Wisnefsky Chapter 32 1 Listen, O heaven…. Hear, O earth: The prophet Isaiah also addressed heaven and earth, but he switched the verbs that Moses associated with them. He said, “Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth.” The Midrash explains that this is because one can ask someone close to him “to listen” but can ask someone far from him only “to hear.” Since Moses was closer to heaven than to earth, he asked heaven to “listen” to him and earth to “hear” him. Isaiah, compared to Moses, was closer to earth than to heaven, so he asked earth to “listen” and heaven only to “hear.” Moses’ consciousness was that of the world of Atzilut; Isaiah’s was that of the world of Beriah. Relative to each other, Atzilut is “heaven” and Beriah—the first of the lower three worlds—is “earth.” This being the case, why did Moses have to address the earth at all, and conversely, why did Isaiah have to address heaven? They both addressed both heaven and earth in order to harmonize the two. Moses’ task was to bring heaven down to earth, which he accomplished by transmitting the Torah to the Jewish people, giving them the guidelines for making the world into God’s home. Isaiah’s task as a prophet, in contrast, was to elevate the spiritual behavior and stature of the Jewish people, i.e., to bring life on earth back up to the standards of heaven. When we have made life into “heaven on earth,” resolving the dichotomy between the two, they both testify how we have fulfilled our mission in life. The practical lesson here is that those who are “closer to heaven than to earth,” i.e., Torah scholars, must realize the value of the simple observance of God’s commandments and the performance of good deeds. Those who are “closer to earth than to heaven,” i.e., who work for their living and therefore focus more on the simple observance of God’s commandments and the performance of good deeds, must make sure also to set aside fixed time for Torah study. Nonetheless, there are periods in our lives when we must emphasize one or the other of these two aspects of our relationship with God. During our formative years—or whenever we rise to a new level of Divine consciousness and are still nov-

ices at this level—we should give precedence to Torah study. We should feel “closer to heaven than to earth.” Once we have settled into spiritual stability, however, we should focus on disseminating this spirituality throughout the world via observing God’s commandments and performing good deeds. We should feel “grounded,” “closer to earth than to heaven.”

the first aspect, the revelation is commensurate with our efforts and similar to them, whereas with regard to the second, the revelation is a Divine gift beyond both the intensity and nature of our efforts. In a broad sense, these two aspects of Divine revelation are present in the study of any part of the Torah. Even the study of the Torah’s most seemingly

experiences Divine revelation commensurate with the spiritual accomplishments that it completed while alive in its body. In the next stage, the soul’s re-entry into its resurrected body, it will experience Divine revelation beyond anything it could have earned during its lifetime. The soul therefore has to be cleansed in Purgatory before entering Paradise, in order to be fit to receive the revelations it has earned, and not all souls

During our formative years—or whenever we rise to a new level of Divine consciousness and are still novices at this level—we should give precedence to Torah study.

2. My doctrine drops drown as the rain…. My speech flows as the dew: In this verse, the Torah is likened to both rain and dew. The significant difference between the two is that the extent to which rain falls is dependent on our merits, whereas the extent to which dew condenses is not. Thus, God tells us that “if you study My commandments continuously…in order to serve...with all your heart and soul…I will give you the rain for your land in its time,” and if “your heart is misled…and you neglect to study…and you worship insentient deities… there will be no rain,” but there is no similar pronouncement regarding dew. Rain therefore alludes to the aspects of Divine beneficence that we must elicit through our good behavior, whereas dew alludes to the aspects that we do not have to elicit ourselves. Just as Divine beneficence in general falls into these two categories, so are there two parallel aspects of Divine revelation that we receive when we study the Torah: one earned by virtue of our efforts and the other beyond our ability to earn. Of course, we have to put forth the effort to learn in order to receive both aspects of Divine revelation, but with regard to

prosaic parts is not simply the acquisition of knowledge but an encounter with the Giver of the Torah, who reveals Himself subliminally within the words we utter and the ideas we study. In the narrower sense, however, the first aspect is elicited by studying the external dimension of the Torah (the Torah’s laws and their derivation) and the second through studying its inner dimension. The association of the Torah’s outer and inner dimensions with rain and dew, respectively, parallels their respective association with the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life, which we have seen previously. The full revelation of the “dew” of the Torah, the Torah’s inner dimension, will occur as part of the future Redemption. An allusion to this may be found in the sages’ teaching that as part of the future Redemption, God will resurrect the dead using “dew—specifically, the “dew”-aspect of the Torah. In this context, the two types of Divinity we experience when studying the Torah (the “rain” and the “dew”) are analogous to the two stages of the soul’s experience in the afterlife. In the first stage, the soul’s return to its origin in Paradise (the spiritual “Garden of Eden”), it

merit reaching the higher levels of Paradise, whereas in contrast, we are taught that “all Israel has a share in the World to Come,” i.e., the Resurrection of the Dead, without regard to their diverse merits. Nonetheless, as we have noted repeatedly, as we approach the advent of the messianic Redemption, we are granted a taste of this future revelation of the Torah’s inner dimension, especially in light of the fact that all the future revelations of the Torah were implicit within the Torah as it was first given, at Mount Sinai, such that any new revelation of Torah, rather than being a novel innovation, is simply a matter of exposing what is latent within the Torah as it has already been revealed to us. Thus, when we study the inner dimension of the Torah, particularly as it has been expressed through the teachings we know as Chabad Chasidut, by means of which we can understand these sublime ideas thoroughly and thereby internalize them fully, we can experience something of the future resurrection—we can live life on a higher, more spiritually developed level. This “taste” of the future will then serve both to inspire us to

redouble our efforts to hasten the true Redemption, in order to experience the full revelation that will accompany it, and prepare us for this revelation.

Inner Dimensions

[2] My doctrine drops drown as the rain…. My speech flows as the dew: The Torah is described in the Midrash—based on the verses “I was His delight every day, playing before Him at all times, playing with the world, His land”—as God’s plaything, the “toy” that He enjoys. For us, this characterization of the Torah is reflected in the sublime delight we feel when we study it. Thus, in this context, the Torah is identified with the partzuf of Atik Yomin, the inner dimension of keter, which corresponds to the experience of sublime delight. Specifically, the first three sub-sefirot of Atik Yomin—its intellect—are the “dew” of the Torah, whereas the latter seven sub-sefirotof Atik Yomin—its emotions and expression—are the “rain” of Torah. This accords with the notion that dew, unlike rain, is beyond our ability to elicit, inasmuch as the latter, lower sub-sefirot of Atik Yomin are said to be connected with the rest of the orderly development of spirituality (seder hishtalshelut) by descending and becoming clothed in the next partzuf, Arich Anpin, whereas the first, upper sub-sefirot of Atik Yomin do not descend, remaining aloof from the rest of creation. This correspondence is also alluded to by the fact that the numerical value of the word for “rain” (‫םשג‬, 343) is a multiple of 7 (and is actually 73).

A Closer Look

[3] Proclaim the Name of God: Based on this verse, whenever the explicit Name of God was pronounced in the Temple, whoever heard it responded with the phrase, “May the Name of the glory of His kingdom be blessed forever and ever.” In remembrance of this practice, it is now customary to respond “Blessed be He and blessed be His Name” after hearing someone pronounce the word substituted for God’s Name (Adonai) when reciting a blessing. 7 Recall the ancient days; contemplate the years of generation and generation: The phrase “generation and generation” idiomatically means “all generations.” The simplest way to understand this verse is that when anyone is confronted with that extraordinary phenomenon known as a Jew—a histori-

cal and social anomaly by any standard—the first thing he or she must do in order to have any hope of understanding this phenomenon is to inquire how it all started. The result of such an inquiry will be the patriarchs and matriarchs, who to this day are referred to by the Jewish people as their fathers and mothers: “Abraham, our father,” “Sarah, our mother,” and so on. Thus, it is readily apparent that every Jew intuitively considers the patriarchs and ma-

Even the study of the Torah’s most seemingly prosaic parts is not simply the acquisition of knowledge but an encounter with the Giver of the Torah, who reveals Himself subliminally within the words we utter and the ideas we study triarchs his or her personal parents, virtually no different from his or her biological parents, who lovingly raise, educate, and provide for their children. For us, our forefathers are not merely ancestors from the distant past but living entities who accompany us throughout our entire lives. Knowing that these loving and concerned parents are always there to assist us enhances our dedication to their ideals, as reflected in the study of the Torah and the performance of its commandments. 9 Jacob is the “rope” of His inheritance: The imagery evoked here is that of a rope hanging downward from some high elevation, where it is attached to some elastic entity. When one pulls on the rope from below, the top of the rope is drawn down as far as the elasticity of its “anchor” will allow. By likening both the individual Jewish soul and the collective soul of the Jewish people (“Jacob”) to a rope that binds us to Divinity, we are informed that our actions in this world influence what the root of our soul experiences “above,” in the spiritual realms. Furthermore, inasmuch as the Divine Presence is inextricably bound to the collective soul of the Jewish people, our behavior in this world influences the fate of the Divine Presence. In the words of the sages, “The Divine Presence went with [the Jews] into exile in Egypt…. The Divine Presence went with them into exile in Babylonia…. The Divine Presence is destined to be redeemed with them.” (CHABAD.ORG)

What Happened to the ADL Continued from page 19 plosive political and cultural climate, but — as has become evident with the emerging of more details about Charlottesville and subsequent demonstrations — it was tragically true. Furthermore, even after Trump issued a clear condemnation two days later of "criminals and thugs, including KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups," Greenblatt was not satisfied. "Let's be clear: I think we should expect a leader in the highest office in the land to step above the lowest possible bar," he said. "We need to move from words to real action." Then, as he had done during his Knesset address, he proceeded to imply that certain White House staff members were on the side of the white supremacists. "Individuals who are associated with, for example, the alt-right found their way into positions of authority in the West Wing." Greenblatt's partisanship seems to have paid off, and not only figuratively. Immediately after the events in Charlottesville and the outcry over Trump's initial reaction to them, major companies began announcing massive donations to the ADL and another NGO, the left-wing, anti-Trump Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

As of the time of this writing, JP Morgan, Apple, and the George and Amal Clooney Foundation for Justice had pledged $1 million to the ADL and the SPLC each or together — and, rebuking Trump, 21st Century Fox said it, too, would be contributing $1 million to the ADL, while urging others to do the same. JP Morgan and Apple also initiated a two-for-one match for employee donations to those organizations. Separately, the ADL reported a 1,000% increase in online donations since August 13, a day after the Charlottesville rally. It is interesting to note that just over two weeks later, Greenblatt announced the creation of a new position at the ADL and hired George Selim — an Arab-American former official at the Department of Homeland Security who worked under Presidents George W. Bush, Obama and Trump — to fill it. Selim, whose past meetings with Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups is "raising concerns" about this role, will lead the organization's education, law enforcement and community security programs, and oversee its Center on Extremism, according to Greenblatt.

According to the IRS Code, "Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes." The ADL and the SPLC currently enjoy tax-exempt status. Unlike the SPLC, however, which has irked even many liberals for its exaggeration of hate-crime statistics to keep itself relevant and handsomely funded — and whose reputation was damaged over the recent discovery that it has been funneling millions of dollars to offshore accounts — the ADL is a widely respected, influential group in the Jewish world and among international human rights circles. If, as Leibler suggested, the ADL has "lost the plot" under Greenblatt, it deserves to lose its tax-exempt status. Although this is not likely to happen, the ADL board nevertheless must step in to curb Greenblatt's political activism and restore the organization's reputation as a serious anti-Semitism watchdog. In the meantime, potential donors to the ADL need to ask themselves to what use their money will be put. (GATESTONE INSTITUTE)

library closed to begin construction and is slated to reopen in 2020. Upon completion, it will have capacity for roughly 400,000 books, the largest area for circulating material in the New York library system. A rooftop terrace, which will be open to the public, will also be constructed. "Public libraries are paradig-

Facebook is not alone in its predicament. Many other tech companies, including Google, have been taking a hands-off approach to their advertising business, automatically generating ad categories based on users’ online activity. matic public institutions offering communities an array of critical services that extend far beyond the lending of books," said Andreas Dracopoulos, co-president of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. "The varied roles of public libraries place them, more than ever before, at the heart of our civic societies, at a time when many had been predicting their demise."

The 16th floor houses a fullfloor unit with private terrace and the other floors house mechanical equipment. The apartments and common areas are designed by March & White, a design firm with experience working on the interiors of superyachts and London private members clubs.

‘We used our background in designing superyachts, and applied our learning of how you design small spaces to the interior of the smaller units here,’ said Elliot March, who runs the firm with James White. Details include kitchen cabinet doors that slide out of the way when open, concealed appliances and closets that come fully built out with shelves, drawers and hang rods.” March explained that by using fine materials and acute detail, he said, “We were look-

They were being cruel. Welcoming terrorists to the United Kingdom or the United States, to Canada or to Australia, is not kindness. It is cruelty.

The Nakash Brothers Bring the Luxury Setai Hotel Brand from Miami's South Beach to Israel Edited by: JV Staff

T

he Setai Sea of Galilee, the new luxury hotel owned by the Nakash brothers, has now opened its doors. The ultra-modern Setai Miami Beach hotel, located in Miami's buzzing South Beach area, has become one of the most prestigious, acclaimed, and sought-after hotels in Florida. It has been awarded the Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Award for two consecutive years and is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW). In the wake of this overwhelming success, the Miami hotel's owners, the Nakash brothers, are now investing in Israel with two new luxury hotels under the Setai brand. The Setai Sea of Galilee is already welcoming guests, while the Setai Tel Aviv at the Kishle Building in Jaffa's Clock Tower Square is expected to open in January 2018. "The Setai Sea of Galilee is the first step in the Nakash brothers' vision of bringing their prestigious hotel brand to Israel. It is important to remember that it is far from being just another hotel. After many years in which no new hotels were built in this region at all, the Nakash Group has invested in building a hotel in a key area that links the Sea of Galilee, the Galilee, the Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights, and Mt. Hermon," said Avi Hormaro, CEO of the Nakash Group in Israel.

The suites are each some 60 square meters in size, and can accommodate up to 4 people. All rooms include smart large-screen TVs, a spacious bathroom, a Nespresso machine, and of course spectacular Sea of Galilee views. (Photo Credit: Assaf Pinchuk)

Spanning approximately 1,000 square meters, the spa includes 13 treatment rooms, each with an adjustable bed and en-suite shower. The spa also offers an indoor swimming pool, a Turkish hamam, and a well-equipped, state-of-the-art fitness center. (Photo Credit: Assaf Pinchuk)

The Setai Sea of Galilee is a 5-star deluxe hotel that provides an exceptional hospitality and vacation experience among the very finest in Israel and around the world, together with unmatched, breathtaking views of the Golan Heights and the Sea of Galilee. The hotel presents 110 spacious suites and rooms, including 88 suites where guests enjoy adjacent private pools or hot tubs, as well as 22 luxurious Garden Deluxe rooms. The suites are each some 60 square meters in size, and can accommodate up to 4 people. All rooms include smart largescreen TVs, a spacious bathroom, a Nespresso machine, and of course spectacular Sea of Galilee views. In addition, the hotel is home to one of Israel's most lavish spa and health complexes. Spanning approximately 1,000 square meters, the spa

includes 13 treatment rooms, each with an adjustable bed and en-suite shower. The spa also offers an indoor swimming pool, a Turkish hamam, and a well-equipped, state-of-the-art fitness center. One of the Setai Sea of Galilee's most remarkable features is its heated infinity pool, which not only overlooks the Sea of Galilee, but looks as though it is actually "flowing" into it. In addition, guests can take advantage of many more luxurious facilities, including a lounge bar and a gourmet chef restaurant serving first-class Galilean cuisine. The rate includes a range of complimentary services, such as: Free international calls from guest rooms and the lobby, free Wi-Fi access throughout the hotel, free bicycle rental, and more.

Through Special Initiative, NYU Langone/Brooklyn Improves Healthcare Delivery & Outcomes Edited by: JV Staff

B

rooklyn is making tremendous strides to provide high-quality healthcare—with measurable outcomes—to the borough’s underserved populations. Working with primary care providers and community organizations, the hospital is midway through a five-year, federally funded demonstration project called Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment, or DSRIP. The initiative is sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid and administered by the New York State Department of Health. It began in April 2015 and is set to conclude in 2020. The hospital participates as NYU Langone Brooklyn PPS (Performing Provider System), which includes the Family Health Centers at NYU Langone and more than 200 primary care and mental health providers, social service organizations, nursing homes, pharmacies and other community-based organizations (CBO). “We work with community groups who know the patients and are trusted by them,” says Alessandra Taverna-Trani, director of the PPS. “CBOs are valuable partners and collaborators in devising and deploying effective strategies to address social determi-

nants of health, and cultural, linguistic, and literacy barriers to healthcare access.” The NYU Langone Brooklyn PPS has nine projects designed to address the specific needs of approximately 114,000 patients on Medicaid, many from southwest Brooklyn. They are broken into three main categories: • System Transformation: developing an integrated care-delivery system including three Emergency Department related initiatives; • Clinical Improvement: focusing on improving behavioral health, and asthma and diabetes management; and • Population Health: working on HIV education and prevention, and reduction of tobacco use. “The DSRIP program has an overarching goal of reducing avoidable admission to the hospital and the emergency department (ED) by 25 percent,” says Larry K. McReynolds, executive director of Family Health Centers at NYU Langone and executive sponsor of the NYU Langone Brooklyn PPS. Participants and partners are rewarded for meeting outcome benchmarks. McReynolds points to recently released second-year data to show that the NYU Langone Brooklyn PPS is making promising strides. “We’ve reduced potentially preventable ED readmissions by more than 4 percent above statewide projections and

we achieved a 20 percent reduc- illness,” says McReynolds. “Each pital admissions and healthcare tion in behavioral health-related change we have implemented is expense,” says Taverna-Trani. admissions,” he says proudly. Emergency rooms often serve designed to lower or eliminate as a main source of healthcare for underserved populations without access to primary care. In the ED, patients are assessed and stabilized by a multidisciplinary team including doctors, physician assistants, and nurses. Social workers and care managers help coordinate effective care transitions to outpatient primary care for follow up. Patients requiring hospitalization can be admitted as inpatient or placed in the hospital’s 12-bed observation unit. “In the observation unit, we specialize in the management of illnesses that typically require The hospital participates as NYU Langone Brooklyn PPS (Performing a short-term hospital stay, such Provider System), which includes the Family Health Centers at NYU as chest pain, cellulitis, pneuLangone and more than 200 primary care and mental health monia, stroke, COPD and asthproviders, social service organizations, nursing homes, pharmacies ma,” explains says Christopher and other community-based organizations (CBO).

is providing physical and mental health services in the same setting, an arrangement that is working successfully at PPS partners such at the Family Health Centers at NYU Langone, the ODA Primary Health Care Network, and Ezra Medical Center. “Patients who suffer from mental health issues are difficult to fully engage in caring for their physical health conditions,” says W. Gordon Frankle, MD, chief of psychiatry at NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn. “When they are assessed for mental and physical health issues simultaneously, we see improvement in compliance with treatment. And those who require a higher level of care can be referred to an appropriate PPS partner.” “Unhealthy behavior impacts both physical and mental status of patients,” says Jon Marrelli, PsyD, who chairs the PPS’s behavioral health project. Problems like obesity, diabetes, chronic pain, and tobacco-related illness can be caused or exacerbated by unhealthy behaviors. Similarly, those with anxiety problems are more prone to unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, which, in turn, makes them more prone to asthma, COPD, or cardiac problems.
