Her crass big mouth has always been an embarrass- ment to all of us who hold America dear. In an act of downright chutzpah, she criti- cized President Trump‘s meeting with Rus- sian president Putin and called him “Putin’s apprentice”. As she explained on MSNBC, “In fact, for months I’ve been trying to tell the American public that the president is dangerous and that he’s in bed with Putin. Don’t forget this president can’t borrow money in the United States from any bank. This president is looking at Russia for his new money, fi nancial playground”. Waters has been a longtime opponent of Trump consistently referring to him as the illegitimate president and has frequent- ly called for his impeachment. Her battle cry has been “Impeach 45.

ften described as the front line for democracy, Israel has long served O as a learning opportunity for Amer- ican political and security leaders to meet, learn, and apply the lessons back home. The close cooperation between fi re, med- ical, and police personnel in both coun- tries also extends to the local level, thanks to the Jerusalem-based Advanced Securi- ty Training Institute. “It changes how they serve their communities. They bring back what they’ve learned,” said ASTI founder and president Yisroel Stefansky. On June 27, ASTI celebrated having trained 300 American emergency respond- ers since its founding in 2003, with a gala dinner at the King David Hotel. In turn, these 300 returned home to train another 7,000 colleagues in the Israeli emergency response methods. The event featured Am- bassador David Friedman, several Knesset members, and representatives of local law enforcement agencies who were in Isra- el that week. “We are fi ghting for the same cause, defending the same civilizations, with the same values and same beliefs. We are you, you are us,” said MK Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the US. For thousands of counties, munici- palities, fi re districts, and police precincts across the US, a visit to Israel is as impor- At the head table: Honorable U.S. Ambassador David & Tammy Friedman, ASTI President Yisroel Stefansky, Deputy Director of FEMA NCR Kenneth (אמיר אוחנה) tant in their work as it is for the military Wall Standing MK Amir Hochnah and other federal agencies.

Although he was born in Bukhara, Uz- bekistan - a region famous for its textiles - the ancestors of Yakubov were from old Bukhara and brought with them their unique creative traditions. The process of carpet weaving and natural coloring was passed on from gener- ation to generation, and today all the mem- bers of the Yakubov family participate in this business. Yakubov began to help his Grandpa weave and paint carpets at the age of 15. Lat- er he studied innovative methods and fi nely tuned his methods, studying the weaving in Iran. Today he holds a seminar in his home in Bukhara, where he and his team produce about 28 carpets every year. Yakubov uses a camel, a goat and sheep’s wool, all of which come from local shepherds. The yarn is spun on a traditional wooden loom, and the dyes used are natural and rely on pigments ob- tained from the region. The carpets produced are nothing more than impressive, distin- guished by rich, bright color and absolutely fascinating design. Many of Yakubov’s textiles contain a row behind the lines of geometric and stylized fl oral motifs, their seemingly ab- stract vision, actually symbolizing symbols and drawings with ancient precedents. For hundreds of years in Bukhara, resi- dents have hidden traditional and colorful carpets, kilims and runners; in this part of the world it is considered that it’s great to sit or walk barefoot on wool.

Over the past decade, CHAZAQ has risen from being a communi- ty outreach organization (The Q in ChazaQ stands for Queens), to be- coming an organization that has spread well beyond the Tri-state area with riveting lectures and programs for men and women of all ages. “Our main focus continues to be our after school programs for pub- lic school student’s” says CHAZAQ operations Manager, Yaniv Meirov. “Our entire staff, board of directors and Rabbinical leaders are constant- ly looking for ways to inspire more and more of our Jewish youth and we will keep working hard till we maximize our potential”. “But we also look for new ways to inspire all segments of the com- munity. We have a children’s divi- sion, women’s division and even a division for senior citizens, among others”, says Meirov. “Though one division that we touch upon in pri- vate but not so much in a public fashion has been our married cou- ples division. Our Rabbis literally touch the lives of scores of couples on a weekly basis via group learning sessions and private counseling, so some of the couples pushed us to put together a couples event for the broader community”. Indeed, CHAZAQ Board members, Mr. and Mrs. Boris Shamayev joined Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Abraham to organ- ize a luxurious couples event at the Shiraz Restaurant in Great Neck. The event was sold out within two weeks and unfortunately scores of couples were unable to join. The evening was very well organ- ized with couples from communi- ties around New York being treated to a lavish dinner along with words of inspiration by CHAZAQ Director Rabbi Ilan Meirov and special guest speakers, Rabbi Benzion Klatzko and clinical psychologist Dr. Sara Barris. The theme of the event was learn- ing how to appreciate one’s spouse and improving on communication skills. The speakers shared fascinat- ing personal stories to help bring their messages across and from the look on everyone’s faces the messag- es were very well received. “We have been going to Chazaq lectures for nearly three years” said one couple. “Last summer, we heard about CHAZAQ’s after-school pro- grams and our eldest daughter was immediately enrolled. Thank g-d, within two months Chazaq placed her in Yeshiva.....Now, Chazaq is also helping us with our Shalom Bayit too” they said with a smile. Indeed, from young to old, CHAZAQ seems to touch them all. To that we say Chazaq chazaq ven- itchazaq!
