  • Words, Wickedness, and Charlottesville
    The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto SEPTEMBER 2017 Vol. 43 No. 2 (148) TISHREI 5778 Words, Wickedness, and Charlottesville By Shlomo Yaffe In classic Judaic philosophy, worldly existence is divided into four strata: The inanimate, the growing (vegetative), the liv- ing (animal life) and the speaking (human). It seems curious that we do not describe the human as “thinker” or “engineer” or by any other quality that humans exclusively possess. The answer seems to be that the true potential of humanity, for good or evil, lies in the capacity for speech. The individual human can accomplish but little. All the accomplishments and disasters wrought by humanity are by virtue of communication. The accomplishment of the first farmer or shepherd lay in inspir- ing a group of people to work together to create nutrition and raiment in a new way that one person thought of. This was through words, through communication. All of hu- man power has always been an expression of a plurality united and directed by words. Abraham and Sarah taught monotheis- tic decency by words. Pharaoh enslaved the people of Israel by words of fear and prejudice directed at the Egyptians. Beliefs promulgated by words held peoples in the thrall of autocracy, and beliefs expressed in words convinced yet others to throw off those chains. The fate of the Armenians in 1915-17 was woven of words— in hate-filled sermons and telegraphed instructions. The power of Hitler was in his words that convinced German people to join together in utter evil. It was words over radio that set in mo- tion the Rwandan massacre.

    REv. ALvrN ALoNzo CoBER, D. D. THE COBER GENEALOGY of PENNSYLVANIA, IOWA AND CANADA by REV. ALVIN ALONZO COBER, Ph. M., D. D. Of Rochester, N. Y. WITH INTRODUCTION by REV. PETER COBER Of Kitchener, Ontario uRemember the days of old, consider the years of many genera­ tions: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee"-Deutfronomy 32 :7. THE BERLIN PRESS, BERLIN, PENNSYLVANIA, 1933. PUBLISHER'S STATEMENT The writer of this page wishes to inform those who are inter­ ested in the Cober Genealogy that the author, Rev. Alvin A. Cober, D. D., has had no pecuniary 1notive in publishing this volume. Those who are personally acquainted with him know that he has devoted several years of his time to this work., and that he has spent a considerable amount of his money for stationery, postage and travel without any prospects of reimbursement. Were it not for his interest in his ancestry, for his loyalty and devotion to his relatives, and for his willingness to render free services to all his friends and to future generations, we would not ha,~e at our command to-day these family records which we prize so highly and which will in­ crease in interest and in value as the years go by. Knowing that sales will be limited, it was necessary to have the book published as cheaply as possible. While cloth binding would be more desirable a paper cover has been used as a matter of economy. The book is offered for sale at $1.50 in the United States.

  • 2013 / 2014 Performance Report
    2013 / 2014 Performance Report How is a program born? Much like any dream, it starts with the vision of a passionate individual, and comes into being through months and years of hard work. Strategic work to identify unfulfilled needs in relevant markets is followed by gauging feasibility. Next comes building strong programmatic content to answer those needs, as well as to advance the greater organizational mission. At the same time, there are partnerships to forge and resources to obtain. There are pilots to plan down to the last logistic, to evaluate, and to adjust accordingly. There are participants to keep in touch with; there are alliances to maintain. Often times, one or two individuals do several jobs for many years. They do it with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and skill, because they believe in their “Why,” and because they are excellent at fulfilling the “What.” That is the magic of our people at The Jewish Agency for Israel, a microcosm of Jewish and Israeli Initiative and Inspiration. This is the story of our everyday visionaries, our employees, and the more than one million lives they touch through our programming every year. We dedicate this Annual Report to the best and the brightest: the dreamers and doers who sketch in their mind’s eye the many paths to the Jewish future, and ensure through relentless stewardship that these come alive, in living color. Our Vision: To ensure the future of a connected, committed, global Jewish People with a strong Israel at its center Our Mission: Inspire Jews throughout the world to

    Jewish Titles Spring 2019 {IPG} The Art of Inventing Hope Intimate Conversations with Elie Wiesel Howard Reich Summary The Art of Inventing Hope offers an unprecedented, in-depth conversation between the world’s most revered Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, and a son of survivors, Howard Reich. During the last four years of Wiesel’s life, he met frequently with Reich in New York, Chicago and Florida—and spoke often on the phone—to discuss the subject that linked them: both Wiesel and Reich’s father, Robert Reich, were liberated from Buchenwald death camp on April 11, 1945. What had started as an interview assignment from the Chicago Tribune quickly evolved into a friendship and a partnership. Reich and Wiesel believed their colloquy represented a unique exchange between two generations deeply affected by a cataclysmic event. Wiesel said to Reich, “I’ve never Chicago Review Press done anything like this before.” Here Wiesel—at the end of his life—looks back on his ideas and writings on 9781641601344 the Holocaust, synthesizing them in his conversations with Reich.
