This time around, in the after- math of Madrid, Oslo, Wye, and Camp David one and two—as previous Israel-Arab negotiation summits have been dubbed— few are being deceived into thinking that it is anything other than a political charade orchestrated by the Obama administration’s foreign-policy apparatus in an attempt to proj- ect an image of success in a region where most presidents have previously failed. Israel is America’s most impor- tant ally, for reasons other than what any of us may believe. Israel is the only country in the world that allows itself to be diplomati- cally abused so that desperate American presidents with troves chock-full of foreign-policy fail- ures can point to at least one such achievement before history renders their efforts overseas as ranging from largely inconse- quential to troublesome. Not only is President Obama in that category, but also with this upcoming foray scheduled for September 2, he might be the biggest champion of all presi- dents who’ve dabbled in a mirage of Middle East peace. After an 18-month lull in direct talks between the parties, what really needs to be examined is why there is even the slightest need to tamper with the status quo. The fact is that it’s been the quietest 18 months Israel has had in many years. The rockets have ceased falling on S’derot, and even in the north it is very quiet on the Lebanese border. Israel’s economy is good and getting bet- ter, and the economies in the sur- rounding Arab countries are doing fairly well too. So why is there an urgent need to change anything? Earlier this year, Mr. Obama tried to intimate that peace between Israelis and Palestinians impacted directly on how Americans are per- ceived in wars currently being fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. As you will recall, General Stanley McChrystal, who was ousted as the leader of the war effort in Afghanistan for making critical comments about the president and his foreign-policy officers to Rolling Stone maga- zine, was the official to first sug- gest the connection between the Israeli–Arab talks and U.S. casualties on the battlefield. McChrystal was way off base in his overall assessment of any such connection, but he still may have been onto something.

Critics and observers understand that these latest peace moves have everyone involved lacking motivation. It’s quiet in Israel, and the Arabs have effectively demon- strated that resorting to violence in trying to assert themselves sets their cause back many years. For now, they possess an abundance of powerful weapons capable of extraordinary destruction. But what happens after that? There are not really any good answers.

  • Harmful Speech, Sensitivity and Political Correctness the Applications and Limitations of Ona’As Devarim1
    PROPERTY VALUES 135 Harmful Speech, Sensitivity and Political Correctness The Applications and Limitations of Ona’as Devarim1 Rabbi Moshe Kurtz Contemporary Western society is well-attuned to the feelings and sensitivities of the various individuals that comprise it. Undoubtedly, sensitivity and concern for another person’s feelings are desirable virtues. However, there has been pushback on this development within American culture, as radical sensitivity for the sake of one party may result in the restriction of the “freedom of expression” of the other party. After the 2016 United States presidential election, I found myself on a retreat with two colleagues of different political persuasions. Colleague A brought up the topic of elections and requested that Colleague B divulge for whom he had voted. Colleague B did not wish to share his political beliefs, but after sufficient prodding, he revealed that he had not voted for the same candidate whom Colleague A had selected. Upon hearing this, Colleague A expressed that he was “offended” and “did not feel safe” around Colleague B, thereby rebuking him into silence� 1. I would like to express gratitude to my teacher R. Dr. Jacob J. Schacter for thoroughly reviewing this paper and for referring me to a number of the essays to which I refer. Additionally, I would like to thank my colleague R.

  • The Pursuit of Perfection: Vice Or Virtue in Judaism?∗
    Dr. Benzion Sorotzkin, Psy.D. Clinical Psychologist Brooklyn, NY www.DrSorotzkin.com [email protected] THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION: VICE OR VIRTUE IN JUDAISM?* תנא דבי אליהו רבה (כג:א) לפיכך Chazal exhort us to strive for ever higher goals. It says in When will my deeds equal those) - יהיו אומרים כל אחד ואחד, מתי יגיעו מעשיי למעשה אברהם יצחק ויעקב. which can be translated as ,("שלימות") of my forefathers)? Likewise, the concept of shleimus perfection, is also an honored goal in chazal. On the other hand, clinical experience and research indicates that perfectionism is often associated with serious emotional disorders (Blatt, 1995; Flett & Hewitt, 2002; Sorotzkin, 1985, 1998) which, in turn, eventually results in lower levels of achievement. This paper will briefly review the psychological literature on perfectionism, examine Yiddishkeit’s attitude toward perfection, some common misconceptions and misapplications of this concept, and the impact of the above on frum patients and therapists. PERFECTIONISM In a comprehensive review of the literature on “the destructiveness of perfectionism,” Blatt (1995) states: The research literature on perfectionism has grown remarkably in the past decade. Numerous empirical investigations... provide consistent evidence that perfectionism is a multi-dimensional construct that can have an important role in adaptive and maladaptive functioning, including a wide range of disorders, especially depression and suicide (p. 1005). Regarding specific diagnostic categories, perfectionism has been associated with obsessive-compulsive disorders, where the person seeks perfection with regard to self-control; * An earlier version of this paper was published in the Journal of Psychology and Judaism, Vol. 23 (4), 1999, pp.

  • When Distributional Semantics Meets Logic Programming
    Semantics at Scale: When Distributional Semantics meets Logic Programming Andr´eFreitas1, Jo˜ao C. Pereira da Silva2 1 Insight Centre for Data Analytics National University of Ireland, Galway 2 Computer Science Department Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Abstract. Distributional semantic models (DSMs) are semantic models which are automatically built from co-occurrence patterns in unstruc- tured text. These semantic models trade representation structure for volume of semantic and commonsense knowledge, and provide effective large-scale semantic models which can be used to complement logical knowledge bases. DSMs can be used to inject large scale commonsense knowledge into logical knowledge bases (KBs), supporting semantic ap- proximations between queries and KBs and approximative reasoning over incomplete knowledge bases. This article provides an informal overview of distributional semantic models and their applications to logic pro- gramming, defining the basic steps on how you can build your first distributional-logic program. 1 On querying and commonsense knowledge Suppose we want to query a knowledge base KB created by a third party. In general we may have an idea on the type of content present in the dataset, but we may not know exactly which terms are used to describe constants and predicates. Suppose we decide to try our luck and we issue the following query over the KB (‘Is the father-in-law of the daughter of Bill Clinton a politician?’): ? − daughter of (X ,bill clinton), politician(Y ), father in law(Y , X ). The KB contains the following facts and rules: child of(chelsea clinton,bill clinton). child of(marc mezvinsky,edward mezvinsky).

  • Honoring Parents
    1 Yerushalmi Peah (1:1), “hoil v’hi retzona hu chvoda,” referring to the parental prerogative to determine the nature of their kavod. See Minchas Chinuch #33, “vezeh pashut,” on mechilas kavod. The author of Sefer Chareidim writes that one who serves his parents punctiliously only because HaShem commanded and not because he feels his parents are deserving has fulfilled kibud av v’em, but may have transgressed “arur mekalel aviv v’imo” (Devarim 27:16). Although parents may not be gedolim, vis-a-vis the child they are unique and almost always deserve respect. 2 Kiddushin 31b, Sifra Vayikra 19:3. See Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 240-1 for a summary of morah and kavod obligations. Chayeh Adam (67:3) extends the obligation to honor parents even in thought. Rav Herschel Schachter illustrates other everyday forms of practical service for adult sons and daughters, such as joining parents for Shabbos at their invitation, sending photographs and letters if they live far away, and enabling parents to spend time with their grandchildren. 3 Ibid. The Yerushalmi recounts the extent to which Rabbi Tarfon would go to fulfill the mitzvah of kibud em: “Rabbi Tarfon’s mother went for a walk in her courtyard on Shabbat and her sandal straps broke [she could not fix them on Shabbos]. Rabbi Tarfon went and propped his hands under her ankles and she walked on them until she reached her bed. Once he fell ill, and when the rabbis came to visit him she asked them to pray for ‘her son who had been excessive in his fulfillment of kibud em.’ They asked, ‘What did he do?’ She told them.

    Bill Clinton: The President whose tenure witnessed immense economic expansion Bill Clinton who got elected as the 42nd President of the United States of America in 1992 and became the third youngest President in the history of America. Theodore Roosevelt who became the President in 1901 after the assassination of the then President, William McKinley remains the youngest President to occupy office at the age of 42 years. William Mckinley was the the 25th President of America elected in 1896 Presidential election. He was Republican. McKinley was born on 29 January 1843 in the city of Niles located in northeastern part of the state of Ohio. One of the important events during the time of President McKinley was the Spanish-American War of 1898. In this war America defeated Spain and gained the terrories of Puerto Rico (island in the northeastern Caribbean Sea), Guam (island in the north Pacific Ocean) and Philippines (an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean). McKinley won the first term of Presidency in 1896, during this election his Running Mate was Garret Augustus Hobart. Before named as the Vice Presidential candidate of McKinley, Garret Hobart was elected to the General Assembly as well as the Senate of New Jersey state. He served as the Vice President of America between 4 March 1897 to 21 November 1899. He died on 21 November 1899. In 1900 elections, McKinley again wanted to have Hobart as his Running Mate but his death made him to choose (rather Republican Party chose) Theodore Roosevelt, the incumbent Governor of New York state as his Vice Presidential candidate.
