It has always been of utmost Dry Bones Movie PITcu importance to me to really ensconce myself in the culture here as much as possible, rather than allow myself to stay on the outskirts, in the American bubble IN THE ENO, THE that represents a trap i;ito which far too many of us fall. My rapid Hebrew acquisition, VILLAGERS TRAP THE my entrance into Israeli graduate school, and my constant attempts to keep the ratio of my non-American to American friends significantly high, are all valuable parts of MONSTER ANO .... this process for me. But lately, I've been starting to wonder whether I am simply too ambitious in this department, and whether I have finally reached the glass ceiling. I have been coming to terms with this possibility most acutely over the past three months, since I began to date a young man who was born in Morocco, lived in France for most of his teenage years, and made aliyah a few years ago. His mother speaks French and Spanish, while his father speaks French and a Moroccan dialect of Arabic. Neither of them speak more than a couple of words of Hebrew, nor does his brother or sister. Mikhael is fluent in all four languages, but, of course, English is not his strong suit. We speak only Hebrew together, which can make our daily dealings with each Alison other problematic from time to time. However, while there are times Golub that we have to repeat ourselves or simplify what we want to say, I have never reached a moment with him in which I felt that I truly could not express myself. When his mother and younger brother were here for a visit, on the other hand, I was reduced to smiling widely and nodding and gesturing maniacally, feeling fully unable to communicate with them in any meaningful way. This is only the tip of the iceberg of differences between Mikhael and me. His conservative Moroccan upbringing has presented perhaps the most challenging obsta cle for me. Indeed, seeing the gaping chasm between our cultural backgrounds up close has been the focus of ongoing fascination for me. Luckily, Mikhael would not be considered the "classic," stereotypical Moroccan, although I must admit he has had his moments. Upon announcing our status as an item to my Israeli friends, I received scores of advice and warnings regarding our possible future life together: he won't "let" me work outside the home; he will want me "barefoot and pregnant" for 80 percent of my child-bearing years; his parents will never approve of me (and my American-ness, and my tattoo, and the difference in our ages); he will have a terrible temper; he will be difficult to get along with at times; he will beat me senseless, like "all Moroccans amount of similarities between us. We both made aliyah alone, without family and d 0." with only an intense love oflsrael to guide us . We have both succeeded in building I had heard many of these stereotypes early on in my life as an Israeli citizen, and homes and support systems for ourselves, separately, in a surprisingly short span of continue to be mystified by them. Mikhael is, in many ways, the fundamental oppo time. And we are both passionately committed to living in Israel for the rest of our site of many of them: open, soft, caring, incredibly willing to change and compromise lives.

By Stanley B. A brams In the introduction to her book, Buried by the Times: 1he Holo caust and America's Most Important Newspaper, Laurel Leff quotes from a report issued by the Jewish National Committee operating somewhere in Poland: "In our last moment before death, the remnants of Polish Jewry appeal for help to the whole world. May this, perhaps our last voice from the abyss, reach the ears of the whole world." The date of this plea was March 2, 1944. By that time the Nazi aim of murdering European Jewry was not only proving successful, but was not encountering any serious physical or verbal opposition. Specifically, the world media had not responded with urgency to the genocide. When the last voice from the abyss reached the ears of journalists at 1he New York Times, it was treated as routinely as had hundreds of other reports the past 2,076 days. dramatic results Buried by the Times: 1he Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper is the definitive answer to why and how America's most influential newspaper failed in its coverage of the fate of European without the drama Jews from 1939-1945.

The chapel was named after the Fishbein family, long-time sup porters of the Temple, and after Joe Fishbein, the shul's president. As part of the renovations, the temple has also added an elevator that allows wheelchair access to the new chapel, and a youth lounge. Tours were given of the Adler breakfast room, named after ritual director Edward Adler, and the relocated gift shop.
