  • The Blame Game
    The Blame Game Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt Yom Kippur 2005 If Jeffrey Zaslow, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal is not a rabbi, he should be. He recently wrote a column entitled, “It’s All Your Fault: Why Americans can’t stop playing the Blame Game” which reads like a High Holiday Yom Kippur sermon. He wrote insightfully about the finger pointing currently taking place among federal and local officials over the multiple failures and breakdowns associated with Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Eric Dezenhall, a crisis-management consultant in Washington, D.C. explained, "Every event must have a villain, a victim and a vindicator in order for our culture to understand it. History is calamity-driven, but Americans feel these things shouldn't happen here, and someone must be at fault." There are people who actually study the biology and psychology of blame. Ohio University psychology professor Mark Alicke is one of them. He explains, "The human impulse to blame grows out of the evolutionary need to avert harm. If a group of early humans thought their survival was threatened because a member wasn't carrying his load -- hunting, gathering, whatever -- they'd point fingers, throw rocks, even commit murder. Nowadays things are a bit more sophisticated. You can go on the internet to buy a "calibrated blame-shifting device" for $4.95 from a clever ad agency. It is actually a giant foam hand with the words "It's your fault!" printed on the pointing finger. “Our blame culture is rooted in both nature and nurture. We still succumb to primitive impulses: If we stub a toe on a chair, we'll kick it and curse at it, even though we know it's irrational to blame inanimate objects.

  • Legislative Priorities Jewish War Veterans
    LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES OF THE JEWISH WAR VETERANS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Presented by Jerome Blum, JWV National Commander Before a Joint Session of the Senate and House Veterans Affairs’ Committees March 16, 2016 National Commander Jerome Blum Jerome Blum is the National Commander of the Jewish War Veterans of the USA (JWV) and a life member of John L. Levitow Post 45 in Connecticut. Jerry graduated from the Albert I. Prince Regional Technical Vocational High School in June, 1962, and a week later was on his way to the Great Lakes Naval Station. He attended the Class A Engineman School and upon graduation was assigned to the USS Vance, a Destroyer Escort Radar Picket Ship, out of Pearl Harbor. After several potentially dangerous trips to the North Bering Sea, the Vance was chosen to go to Vietnam. The Vance’s home port then became Subic Bay, Philippines. While aboard the Vance as a Third Class Petty Officer, Jerry had, among other duties, the responsibility of the fresh water distilling operation (the evaps). Jerry has held numerous JWV positions, including Post Commander, Department Commander, and Department Quartermaster. He also publishes The Shout Out, which is the Department of CT’s newsletter. He continues to serve the National Organization on many committees and actively participates in JWV’s monthly teleconferences. Jerry is also a member of many other veterans’ service organizations, including the VFW, American Legion, AmVets, Ct. Military Veteran’s Coalition (CVMC), and recently The Antique Veterans – a group dedicated to attending and supplying gun volley salutes at veteran’s funerals.
