  • The Shofar Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids 2727 Michigan NE Grand Rapids, MI 49506-1240
    Volume 17, Number 6 March 2012 Federation News Executive Director’s Letter S.ORG Dear Friends, The Jewish Cultural Council’s speaker last month, Professor Reuven Hazan of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, delivered to our community a thought provoking speech about the Israeli perspective on the Middle East conflict. Of note, his discussion of the “hawks and doves” in Israel brought a number of nods from those who attended, including from both local hawks and doves. I’d like to share some of my recollections of Professor Hazan’s talk along with some reflections about democracy in Israel. Professor Hazan’s choice of “hawks and doves” proved effective in framing the discussion. A central theme was the steady movement by the hawks toward the dovish position, from Menachem Begin relinquishing the Sinai to Yitzhak Shamir sitting down FEBRUARY 2012 with the PLO; from Benjamin Netanyahu agreeing to a two-state solution to Ariel ADAR/NISSAN 5772 Sharon unilaterally withdrawing from Gaza. These ‘Nixon goes to China’ moments for the Israeli hawks make it clear there is a desire across the political spectrum in Israel for reaching a secure peace with their Arab neighbors. WWW.JEWISHGRANDRAPID While this history has brought Israel’s hawks and doves closer, Professor Hazan contended, uncertainty remains about what the future will bring. The split of Likud into a more hawkish Likud and moderate Kadima parties a few years ago was significant in Israel’s politics. He noted this split makes the willingness of the hawks to move once again toward the dovish side more difficult.

  • Zionism Zine
    zionism zine “...you envisage the shadow of a distant dream you shared with your comrades, a dream of a far-off land, of Eretz Israel and its life of friendship and work, human dignity and pride.” ~In The Days of Destruction and Revolt, Zivia Lubetkin i’ve never wanted to kiss the ground so much as the things that grow out of the ground the trees the plants the weeds the delicate kumquats josh and tzivia combed them from the trees kept them in a bag offered me to bite through the narrow orange skin speckled like a golf ball it is the skin that’s sweet, i’m told not the fruit they’re unbearable sour the size of a grape and I can’t get through it fruit is stronger in eretz yisrael branches reach out to touch my face I want to kiss each leaf let the wood leave its mark on me in the chaparral I feel compelled. - erica kushner garin tzur mazkirol tnua 5781 This zine was created by members of Habonim Dror, a Progressive Labor Zionist youth movement. Zionism is many things for us—a source of inspiration, a historical legacy, a vision for a just society, an answer to antisemitism, a connection point with Jews around the world. Zionism is a deep idea, but sometimes it is sharp and bright. It seizes us with both hands, reaching up out of the pages of our own journals and shaking us by the shoulders: Wake up! Zionism is a wide river, with many different people living on its shores, floating their dreams and their sorrows downstream on rafts of every possible design.

    Samuel Neaman Eretz Israel from Inside and Out Samuel Neaman Reflections In this book, the author Samuel (Sam) Neaman illustrates a part of his life story that lasted over more that three decades during the 20th century - in Eretz Israel, France, Syria, in WWII battlefronts, in Great Britain,the U.S., Canada, Mexico and in South American states. This is a life story told by the person himself and is being read with bated breath, sometimes hard to believe but nevertheless utterly true. Neaman was born in 1913, but most of his life he spent outside the country and the state he was born in ERETZ and for which he fought and which he served faithfully for many years. Therefore, his point of view is from both outside and inside and apart from • the love he expresses towards the country, he also criticizes what is going ERETZ ISRAELFROMINSIDEANDOUT here. In Israel the author is well known for the reknowned Samuel Neaman ISRAEL Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology which is located at the Technion in Haifa. This institute was established by Neaman and he was directly and personally involved in all its management until he passed away a few years ago. Samuel Neaman did much for Israel’s security and FROM as a token of appreciation, all IDF’s chiefs of staff have signed a a megila. Among the signers of the megila there were: Ig’al Yadin, Mordechai Mak- lef, Moshe Dayan, Haim Laskov, Zvi Zur, Izhak Rabin, Haim Bar-Lev, David INSIDE El’arar, and Mordechai Gur.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The exact Hebrew name for this affair is the “Yemenite children Affair.” I use the word babies instead of children since at least two thirds of the kidnapped were in fact infants. 2. 1,053 complaints were submitted to all three commissions combined (1033 complaints of disappearances from camps and hospitals in Israel, and 20 from camp Hashed in Yemen). Rabbi Meshulam’s organization claimed to have information about 1,700 babies kidnapped prior to 1952 (450 of them from other Mizrahi ethnic groups) and about 4,500 babies kidnapped prior to 1956. These figures were neither discredited nor vali- dated by the last commission (Shoshi Zaid, The Child is Gone [Jerusalem: Geffen Books, 2001], 19–22). 3. During the immigrants’ stay in transit and absorption camps, the babies were taken to stone structures called baby houses. Mothers were allowed entry only a few times each day to nurse their babies. 4. See, for instance, the testimony of Naomi Gavra in Tzipi Talmor’s film Down a One Way Road (1997) and the testimony of Shoshana Farhi on the show Uvda (1996). 5. The transit camp Hashed in Yemen housed most of the immigrants before the flight to Israel. 6. This story is based on my interview with the Ovadiya family for a story I wrote for the newspaper Shishi in 1994 and a subsequent interview for the show Uvda in 1996. I should also note that this story as well as my aunt’s story does not represent the typical kidnapping scenario. 7. The Hebrew term “Sephardic” means “from Spain.” 8.

  • Israeli Cows Are Taking Over the World
    Israeli Cows are Taking Over the World Sara Toth Stub Israel’s high-tech expertise is being applied to milk and cheese. Dairy farmers from India to Italy are learning how to increase their yields by traveling to kibbutzim. And that’s no bull. On a recent hot afternoon, a group of farmers from around the world wandered through the cow barns at Kibbutz Afikim, an agricultural cooperative founded by Jewish immigrants from Russia in 1924. It was late June in the Jordan Valley; the temperature spiked at 90 degrees. But the delegation of farmers had just asked to leave an air-conditioned conference room and use their limited time to see the cow barns. Despite the high temperatures, the nearly 900 cows were calm, many lying in the mud that covers the floor of their barns, which are partly open to the outside and cooled by large fans. These barns at Afikim, and Israeli milk cows in general, are a growing attraction for visitors as Israel’s dairy industry has emerged as one of the most efficient and productive in the world. Despite limited rainfall and high summer temperatures, Israel has the highest national average of milk production per cow. And amid the fast-growing global demand for dairy products, especially in the developing world, there is increasing interest in how Israel gets so much milk out of each cow and the technology it uses to do so. “Happy cows give a lot of milk. People from around the world are coming here, and they see that it’s terribly hot, but that the cows are happy,” said Ofier Langer, a former executive at several Israeli high-tech companies who established the Israeli Dairy School six years ago.

  • Biometric Growth and Behavior of Calf-Fed Holstein Steers Fed in Confinement
    BIOMETRIC GROWTH AND BEHAVIOR OF CALF-FED HOLSTEIN STEERS FED IN CONFINEMENT By Jacob A. Reed B.S., Texas A&M University, 2012 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Major Subject: Animal Science West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas July 2015 ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to determine the impact of zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on movement behavior of calf-fed Holstein steers fed in confinement as well as understand the optimal slaughter end point for a calf-fed Holstein by use of biometric measurements. Calf-fed Holstein steers (n = 135) were randomized to 11 pre- assigned slaughter groups (254, 282, 310, 338, 366, 394, 422, 450, 478, 506, and 534 days on feed) consisting of 10 steers per group. Steers were assigned to one of three pens each containing a feed behavior and disappearance system (GrowSafe, Airdrie, AB Canada) which had four feed nodes per pen. A fourth terminal pen was divided in half with one side containing five steers fed a ration supplemented with ZH and the other half containing five steers fed a control ration without ZH supplementation. Steers placed in the fourth terminal pen were fed in 28 d feeding periods; d 1 to 5 included no ZH supplementation, d 6 to 25 included ZH (8.33 mg/kg dietary DM) supplementation, and steers were withdrawn from ZH during d 26 to 28. Objective movement behavior of each animal was monitored during the 28 d prior to harvest using an accelerometer (IceQube, IceRobotics, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK) attached to the left hind leg of each animal.
