Curtis Sliwa, who founded Guardian Angels in New York City in 1979, said patrols would start in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, and expand to Williamsburg and Borough Park later in the day. Hours earlier, on Saturday night, Dec. 28, five people were stabbed in an attack at a Hanukkah event in Monsey, By Roi Refaeli N.Y., upstate in Rockland County. There has been a total of eight attacks on Jews in Brooklyn since Dec. 13, according to police.

  • Book Review Kornbluth, Sarah Tikvah and Doron Kornbluth, Eds. Jewish
    Book Review Kornbluth, Sarah Tikvah and Doron Kornbluth, eds. Jewish Women Speak about Jewish Matters. Detroit: Targum/Feldheim, 2000. Many modern Jewish women are confronted with a seemingly unsolvable dilemma: we want to relate passionately to our religion and culture, but serious and profound questions concerning "women's issues" keep us at bay, outsiders to our own heritage. The introduction to Jewish Women Speak asks, "…How much warmth and admiration can we (women) have for a tradition that doesn't respect us?” This new book re-inspires our identities as Jewish women, and make sense of the many things that preoccupy us. Jewish Women Speak is an inspirational paperback by women for women. It presents an impressive collection of short essays on a myriad of Jewish subjects of particular interest to women. Amongst the many books dealing with women and Judaism, Jewish Women Speak is unique in its place within the framework of classical Judaism, arguing that Jewish women can indeed find womanhood without parting from the Jewish tradition. Psychiatrist. Lisa Aiken encourages Jewish women to learn Torah: "In our generation, Jewish women have risen to the highest levels of secular knowledge and career advancement. We owe it to ourselves to take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities presently available to be Jewishly educated as well. History has shown that where there is no Jewish learning there are soon no Jews. Jewish women need to study Torah because it provides the knowledge and inspiration necessary to be caring and committed Jews." Esther Shkop basks in the glory of powerful Biblical images of women and finds strong feminine voices therein: I have forever held my peace, I have hushed and refrained Myself; now, like a birthing woman, I will cry out, panting and gasping at once.

  • The New Middle East © Rabbi Richard A. Block the Temple
    The New Middle East © Rabbi Richard A. Block The Temple – Tifereth Israel, Beachwood OH Rosh Hashanah 5775/2014 The story is told of a visitor to Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo who saw that each enclosure bore a sign with a pertinent biblical quotation. One quoted Isaiah, “[T]he wolf and the lamb shall dwell together.” Across the moat separating the animals from visitors, he saw that a wolf and a lamb were, indeed, resting peaceably, side by side. Amazed, he sought out the zookeeper and asked how that was possible. “It’s simple,” the zookeeper replied. “Every day we put in a new lamb.” This tale captures the yawning chasm between the ideal world our tradition commands us to seek and the real world we inhabit. This summer, that chasm seemed wider than ever, as Israel found its cities and citizens under relentless, indiscriminate bombardment and terrorists swarmed through tunnels to kill and kidnap. Hamas’ instigation of hostilities and its refusal to accept or honor a series of ceasefires, compelled Israel to defend itself, with the awful consequences that war always brings. As the New Year begins, I want to state some fundamental facts about the conflict and discuss their implications. First, some fundamental facts about Israel: Israel is deeply invested in peace and wants a better life for all. Having known little but war since it was born in 1948, no country yearns for peace more passionately than Israel. That is why it gave up the entire Sinai for peace with Egypt, made peace with Jordan, left Lebanon, left all 1 of Gaza, and offered 97% of the West Bank for a Palestinian state.

  • In the Seam Zone Walaja Is an Attractive Palestinian Village Walaja’S Fate Between Eight Kilometers Southwest of Jerusalem and Five Kilometers Northwest of Bethlehem
    In the Seam Zone Walaja is an attractive Palestinian village Walaja’s Fate Between eight kilometers southwest of Jerusalem and five kilometers northwest of Bethlehem. Jerusalem and Nowhere Rich in traditional agricultural terraces and a Ruba Saleh fascinating natural landscape, it also boasts a singular natural legacy, the al Badawi olive tree. This tree is Walaja’s oldest native: Japanese and European experts estimate its age at around 4000-5000 years. Al Badawi has long been the village’s proud guardian; more recently, the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities recommends it as a tourist destination not only for the charming panorama the site offers, but also for the intangible heritage the ancient tree embodies through the innumerable stories the inhabitants recount about this olive tree and its magical powers. Regrettably, even this ancient olive tree is not immune to the Al-Badawi Olive Tree. relentless advance of Israel’s Separation Source: Ruba Saleh. Wall and the segregation and land grab [ 54 ] In the Seam Zone policies that underpin it. The roots of the al Badawi tree stand in the Wall’s path; the Wall threatens to surround Walaja and turn the village into yet another Palestinian open-air jail. Walajees like to call their village a microscopic Palestine as they list the emblematic instances of disenfranchisement and segregation their village has suffered since 1948: forced eviction, house demolitions, unilateral annexation of the Jerusalem side of the village, land and property confiscation, immigration and disruption of the social order, prohibition of access to work, restricted access to education and health facilities, and more recently the threat of complete isolation and alienation by the encroaching Wall.
