From Rabbi Marc Berkson We Saw You At... the Variety Show HONORING TRADITIONS ENGAGING FAMILIES SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES Volume 91, No. 9 • March 2019 • Adar/Adar II 5779 We Saw You at... The Variety Show From Rabbi Marc Berkson In a recent column in The New York Times, Tom Friedman urged our president to explain rather than to inflame the debates about the border wall and immigration. Friedman suggest- ed the president should begin as follows: My fellow Americans, we face a global crisis: more people are on the move today seeking jobs, asylum from murderous governments, Left to right: Cantor David B., Laura S., Dan D., Michael L., Pam T., Eitan S., Gary K., safety from environmental disasters Jean L., Barbara L., Morrie R., Michael T. or just looking for order than at any other time since World War II – some 70 million people. So I cannot help but ask myself, as a citi- zen of the world, as an American, and as a Jew, what are my responsibilities? 70 million people, refugees, who, by defini- tion, are not safe at home. And I raise these questions at a unique time in Jewish history. For just 75 years after the Holocaust, just decades after the flight of Jews from the Mediterranean lands, just three decades after the exoduses from the former Soviet Union and from Ethiopia, Jews are truly no longer Mitch S. Stephen S., Rabbi Toba S., and Golda S. Judy L. refugees anywhere in the world. Rather, Christian and Muslim lives are endan- gered throughout the Middle East and Africa and far East - Copts and Maronites and the Assyrians, Yazidis and Rohingya, so many from Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan and Burma. And so many fleeing from those failing countries to the south of us – from Guatemala to El Salvador to Venezuela. They are now the world’s refugees. What is our responsibility?

  • Critical Evaluation of Locally Controlled Forest Enterprise Subsectors Likely To
    Critical evaluation of locally 9 controlled forest enterprise subsectors likely to contribute to more integrated, intensive and climate-friendly land use in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Tabin Lissendja, Samuêl Begaa and Alphonse Maindo 9.1 Introduction The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has 154 million hectares of forest, which is the second-largest area of tropical forest globally after Brazil. Since the post-conflict reform agenda was launched in 2002, pressure on forestland for economic development has grown, both from external sources and from the 70 per cent of DRC’s total population of 60 million people who live in rural areas. Forests are the main source of subsistence for many rural people in DRC. It is estimated that locally controlled forest enterprises in many low- and middle-income countries account for 80-90 per cent of forestry activities in the forest sector (Macqueen, 2008). Locally controlled enterprises generate local wealth, secure community rights to resources, help create social capital through professional associations, encourage greater local environmental responsibility, help preserve cultural identity, and play an important role in poverty reduction. Yet in countries like DRC – and in Kisangani in the east of the country, the focus of this chapter – such SMFEs also face complex problems. Kisangani was selected for the study because growing demand in the local market there has led to an upsurge in artisanal logging. When political activities returned to normal and functional road networks helped revive the local economy after the official end of the war, city-dwellers responded to the lack of state support by starting up numerous income- generating and self-help initiatives.

In her left hand she holds a roselle calyx that resembles an Sacorn encased in scarlet flower petals. She places her right thumb on top of the blade and her right middle and ring fingers just under the blade. With her right index finger she presses the tip of the calyx against the blue knife. Holding the bottom of the calyx with her left hand, she expertly rotates it, slicing off the top, then quickly removes the interior capsule.
