He is internationally renowned for his research on monoamine oxidases, brain iron metabolism, Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and drug development for these disorders and for highlighting the im- portance of monoamine oxidase and brain iron metabolism for brain function and dysfunction. His research at Oxford Univer- sity led to the discovery of the first monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, l-deprenyl (selegiline) as an anti-Parkinson drug, in 1975, and the concept of neuroprotection. At Technion, he developed the second generation of neuroprotective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor anti-Parkinson drug, Rasagiline (Azilect) with John Finberg. He developed the first multifunctional neuroprotective anti-Alzheimer drug, currently designated Ladostigil (TV 3326), which has recently shown positive results in Phase IIb double blind control clinical studies in Alzheimer patients MCI and novel multi target neurorestorative M30 iron chelator series which are under development for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases in his company Abital Pharma Pipeline Ltd.

  • RRC Annual Report 2008 Layout
    Ex panding Our Dialogue Colleagues of Other Faiths “House of Israel” in Ghana Spiritual Searchers in Northern California Also: RRC Launches Mission, Vision, Values Statement 2008 Annual Report A Message From the President By Rabbi Dan Ehrenkrantz uring the time I served as the rabbi for Bnai Keshet in Montclair, NJ, a local Baptist church closed its doors. Our synagogue had just put up a new building, and the church decided to donate some of their cash assets to us. I remember thinking at the time how astounded my ancestors would have D been. I had grown up with family stories of pogroms, with Christian symbols used to incite violence. And now, not so many years later, my synagogue was receiving a large cash gift from, of all places, a church. Yet now, for Reconstructionist Jews, that turn of events may seem fairly natural. In the movement’s foundational years, Mordecai M. Kaplan shaped the ideological basis for a changed relationship with other peoples and other religions: Judaism is not God’s chosen religion, and Jews are not the chosen people. Because we don’t have a monopoly on truth, we should seek to learn from diverse religious traditions and communities. Our special obligations toward the Jewish community should inspire us to work for the betterment of others. And so we actively seek to bring our message—a message of religious tolerance combined with religious passion—to others. We seek to be emissaries for peaceful, creative and engaged coexistence among peoples and religions. And we seek to bring cultural change to the Jewish community by sharing our unique approach to Jewish life.

  • Jewish Donor Charitie a Recor $272
    e are privileged to continue serving the Jewish community by providing an easy and efficient vehicle to streamline charitable giving and facilitate philanthropy. This has been another record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund (JCF). WA leader in the world of Jewish philanthropy, JCF continues to be the largest and most active Jewish donor advised fund in the country, managing $1.2 billion in charitable assets. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 our diverse donor base granted more than $270 million to thousands of not-for-profits in all sectors. In addition to these generous grants recommended by our donors, JCF makes a community gift of $2 million to the UJA-Federation of New York’s Annual Campaign. JCF’s institutional endowment, our Special Gifts Fund, awarded an additional $767,000 in grants to projects and agencies in the New York Jewish community. Among those grants was one for $240,000 to provide day camp scholarships to families impacted by Hurricane Sandy that enabled 276 children to attend day camp. This is the power and impact of our JCF community! The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with outstanding personal service and the philanthropic community has taken notice. Once again, JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator, and we maintained our place as one of the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list. As JCF continues to grow, we know that we must continue to innovate, educate and create new ways to serve our network of donors and the Jewish community.

  • I Was Searching for the Origins of a Known Reputable Ashkenazi Family and I Found Them!* by Dr
    1 “A Funny Thing Happened to Me on the Way to the Forum 1“ I was searching for the origins of a known reputable Ashkenazi family And I found them!* By Dr. Chanan Rapaport** Foreword: In 1948, in the waning days of the War of Independence, I had a chance encounter with the renowned historian Prof. Ben Zion Dinaburg-Dinur. The professor inquired whether I was a descendent of the Sepharadi or perhaps the Portuguese branch of the Rapaport family, to which I innocently replied- “I am from the Galician Rapaports”. His surprising reaction was: “Please be seated, Sir. You have no idea”. He then proceeded to explain that from the middle of the 16th century (as the memory of Jewish life in Spain and Portugal began to fade) until the 19th century it was fashionable among Eastern and Western European Jewry to attribute their origin to Jewish families exiled from Spain, thus becoming part of an ancient family with a stamp of respectability. --------------------------------------------------------- Published by the Israel Genealogy Research Association's Web-site on April 24th 2018.
