Purdue University Press Book Previews. 26. https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/purduepress_previews/26 This document has been made available through Purdue e-Pubs, a service of the Purdue University Libraries. Please contact [email protected] for additional information. “In The Notorious Ben Hecht: Iconoclastic Writer and Militant Zionist, Julien Gorbach highlights the character, the motivations, and the involvement of an engaged intellectual, crossing from the world of words into that of assertive advocacy on behalf of a cause deemed too narrow for the milieu in which he was a major element. In focusing on this facet of the life of one who was a borderline American Jew, Gorbach not only details the personal biography of Hecht as Hollywood screenwriter, playwright, and novelist, but in his treatment of Hecht’s activities on behalf of the Jewish resistance in Mandate Palestine against the oppressive British rule, he retrieves that period of Israel’s history shunted aside due to ideological and political bias, the years of the national liberation struggle prior to the establishment of the state that have been subjected to a campaign of purposeful neglect and which affected Hecht as well.” —Yisrael Medad, Research Fellow, Menachem Begin Heritage Center, Jerusalem “With storytelling skills equal to his subject’s, Julien Gorbach shows the nuance and complexity of Ben Hecht’s transformation from secular and cynical Hollywood script doctor to committed Zionist activist attempting first to save the Jews of Europe during World War II, and then to found the state of Israel.

  • Agriprocessors
    Agriprocessors, Ethics and Kashrut: 10 Years Later Delivered by Rabbi Ari Hart Shabbat Vayechi, 12th of Tevet, 5778, December 30, 2017 Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Congregation, Skokie, IL It’s spring of 2008. I’m sitting at a table on the second floor of what I am slowly realizing is a completely empty diner in Lower Manhattan when the man across the table lowers his voice, points his finger at me and says: “You don’t want to know what happened to the last person who went up against my father in law.” The man is Rabbi Milton Balkany, a convicted felon known as the “Brooklyn Bundler” who served time for trying to blackmail and extort four million dollars from a hedge fund, among other encounters with the law. The father-in-law he referenced is Aaron Rubashkin, the owner of Agriprocessors. Balkany and two representatives from Agriprocessors sat on one side of the table and rabbinical student Shmuly Yanklowitz, Rabbi Jason Herman, and I sat on the other. “Was that a threat?” I asked. He replied that, of course, he would never threaten anyone, but he just didn’t think it was good for “you boys” to be involved in this. The “this” he was referring to was a letter that Uri L’Tzedek had sent to the Rubashkin family following the 2008 federal raid on its Agriprocessors plant. By the time of the meeting, thousands of other kosher consumers had signed on. In our letter and again in this meeting, we shared our deep concerns about Agriprocessors; how they had long exhibited a pattern of unethical business practices that had hurt many and created a massive chillul Hashem.

As technology evolves, it is essential, archivists say, that re- issues on new audio platforms be based on original masters. Unfortunately, in an unexpected by- product of digital - era recording, many original masters are in danger of dete- riorating or becoming obsolete. 13 A Bright Remedy That's because the material was This is a first in a Meredith Brooks' 2002 single recorded on early digital equipment two -part series on the challenges `Shine' re- emerges as the that is no longer manufactured.
