    ! Howard Tevlowitz: Embracing our differences, here and in Israel ! ! The students who attended the opening of the "Different Together" exhibit in Israel are, from left, Chasiti Morgan of North Port High; Dalton John Drummond, Isabelle Mathiasson Ball, Casey Kabobel and Cody Vega, all of Riverview High; Ambar Lynn Morales-Diaz of North Port High; and Calli Habermehl and Kaya Faith Cornejo-D'oyen, both of Booker High. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF SARASOTA-MANATEE By HOWARD TEVLOWITZ, Guest Columnist Published: Thursday, April 9, 2015 at 1:00 a.m. Last Modified: Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at 5:16 p.m. The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee recently provided the funding for eight Sarasota County high school students, all members of the Sarasota-based Embracing Our Differences' Co-Existence Clubs, to attend the opening of the inaugural "Different Together" exhibit in Israel. It was a transformational trip where they witnessed, firsthand, Israel's diverse multicultural reality. Inspired by Embracing Our Differences, the Different Together program centers around an outdoor exhibit of art celebrating the diversity of human experience. The artists, students from a multiplicity of backgrounds, created powerful statements of respect and empathy. Humanity cannot be homogenized, after all. Their artwork showed that we come in many different flavors of gender, religion, race, sexual orientation and preferences of conscience. It was a cause for celebration -- especially in Israel. Throughout Jewish history, art has been used as a form of remembrance, dedication and inspiration. From colorful mosaics in Masada, to intricately carved synagogues in Morocco, to children's drawings created during the Holocaust, art has helped define us as a people and capture our history.

Robert Wexler, President News Excerpts December 28, 2020 Ynet News Blue & White Breaks Apart with Departures of Key Figures Leader and Defense Minister Benny Gantz dismissed MKs Asaf Zamir and Miki Haimovich after both lawmakers refused to vote in favor of a motion postponing the deadline for the government to present a state budget and preventing another round of elections. Gantz also met with his no. 2, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, who is currently deliberating on whether to retire from political life outright or form a new party ahead of the March 2021 elections. Haimovich and Zamir's dismissal from Blue & White came after the two, alongside MK Ram Shefa, chose to vote against the compromise between Gantz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to extend the deadline for a state budget until December 31.

With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions.
