Several were injured by the rockets while there was exten- sive property damage inflicted on homes and businesses over a scattered area in the south of Israel. One missile landed just ten miles from Tel Aviv—so this may be getting kind of serious someday soon. In the bus bomb- ing, Mary Jane Gardner, a British national who was living in Israel, was killed, and six Americans were amongst the more than 30 injured. While the free and democratic world con- demned the bombing, there wasn’t that much outrage in either the U.S. or Britain. After all, their nationals should know better than to be found in such dangerous places. And all this followed by just a few days the savage murder of the Fogel family in Itamar. The move that received more atten- tion than the bombing, the mis- siles, or the killing of the Fogels was Israel’s announcement that in the aftermath of the murders they would authorize the build- ing of 500 new homes in territo- ry that the world still fantasizes will someday be part of a Palestinian state. It was the move that completed the puz- zle, the post facto move to build that explained everything else that preceded it.

  • The Changing Forms of Incitement to Terror and Violence
    THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT TO TERROR AND VIOLENCE: TERROR AND TO THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT The most neglected yet critical component of international terror is the element of incitement. Incitement is the medium through which the ideology of terror actually materializes into the act of terror itself. But if indeed incitement is so obviously and clearly a central component of terrorism, the question remains: why does the international community in general, and international law in particular, not posit a crime of incitement to terror? Is there no clear dividing line between incitement to terror and the fundamental right to freedom of speech? With such questions in mind, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung held an international conference on incitement. This volume presents the insights of the experts who took part, along with a Draft International Convention to Combat Incitement to Terror and Violence that is intended for presentation to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Joseph D. Zargarit Introduction When people think of the refugee situation in the Middle East, they often think of the Palestinian refugees of the West Bank and Gaza. Their situation has been studied, written about, and debated throughout much of the world. What is often forgotten, however, is the story of another group of refugees in the Middle East that were displaced around the same time as the Palestinian refugees.

Jerusalem has captured the imagination of Jews for centuries. It's the direction to which we pray, it's the aspiration of centuries of dreamers, it holds hope and promise for many. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Six Day War, Har Zion will engage our kehillah in a celebration of the city of our eternal city of hope. Over the next eight months, we will explore the diverse role Jerusalem has played for us as a people, from biblical times to present day. Each month has been assigned a verb that will guide our exploration. We’ve dedicated February to Singing Jerusalem. The number of songs about Jerusalem is nearly endless since the themes of the holiness and centrality of Jerusalem, returning to Zion and longing for Jerusalem have been a part of Jewish literature since Biblical times. Each week we will feature one or two selections from the endless well of “Songs about Jerusalem.” Two offerings this week – The first, “Jerusalem is Mine,” is by Kenny Karen, a singer/songwriter and son of a prominent rabbi from Montreal.

With a background in education and an emphasis in health science and working with at-risk students, Jamie shares, “my background was a natural match with Hadassah’s work in health research, Youth Aliyah, and stem cell research.” Jamie held a variety of positions at the local level including membership chair, book club chair and president. When the time came to move west to California, Jamie reached out to the local Northern Area offi ce and was told about a new group forming in the San Fernando Valley area where she would be able to connect with other like-minded Hadassah women and put her leadership skills into action. Thanks to Jamie’s background, commitment to Hadassah, and her outgoing personality, she found a home in the new, soon to be chartered group, Ruach, and will be installed as the fi rst president. Originally from New York, Roni Splatnick lived in various locations on the east coast before settling in Saskatchewan, Canada, and becoming involved in Canadian Hadassah-WIZO (Women’s International Zionist Organization). A loyal member, Roni and her husband moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, where she transferred her membership to Hadassah and four years later relocated to Palm Desert.

  • Pioneering a Cure
    Pioneering a cure Jun. 15, 2009 MEL BEZALEL , THE JERUSALEM POST When the first pioneers arrived on these shores almost 100 years ago, they carried with them numerous and varied cultural identities, a reminder of their home communities that, in many cases, had evolved over many generations. Music was a significant facet of this, says the New York-based Rabbi Greg Wall, producer of Pioneers for a Cure (PfaC), a charity project officially launched on Yom Ha'atzmaut this year to raise funds for cancer research through re-recording and distributing pioneer songs. Thirty tracks were recorded over the past two years in a New York studio, and are now available to download. Wall admits he knew very little about pioneer music before undertaking the mammoth task of coordinating the new recordings, by well-known modern artists such as Neshama Carlebach, David Broza, Pharoah's Daughter and Tovah Feldshuh. In fact, the idea was not his own. Wall's friend of 10 years, who is being identified only as "the anonymous benefactor" (he financially supports the entire project), proposed the fundraising scheme to Wall two years ago, along with fellow American PfaC teammates Beth Ravin, a music industry mogul who sits on the Grammy committee, and Ricky Orbach, founder and head of nonprofit record label Joodayoh. The benefactor's aim is to raise $100,000 for cancer research by the end of 2009 through downloads of the tracks, which can be purchased separately on the PfaC Web site (www.pioneersforacure.org) or iTunes Web site for $1.99, $9.99 or $99.99, so each track raises money independently.
