Gone are the days when I wanted to tell you about the "special" deals and "weekends" to Europe, Turkey, Cyprus, etc. Nowadays there are so many and they are so varied, it is only a matter of deciding where and, of course, if the bank account allows. Advance Notice: We are pleased to inform you that we are once again operating tours led by Brenda Miller. Brenda's music tours are a once in a lifetime experience, many people who have aready traveled with her can testify — simply unforgettable! April - 14 days - Russia June - 8 days - Prague September - 10 days - Paris Call Ilanit at (03)548-8111 to secure your place. Arthur Judes has left our office after eight years of service to many of you. I want to thank him for his loyalty, dedication, and wish him success in his new endeavours. Orith, Einat and Nili will be happy to assist you with all your travel needs. Please give us a call. Thanks for the continual support and I wish you all a great 1999.

CHARNEY Today, Leon Charney is renowned as a lawyer, author, broadcaster, real estate mogul, political advisor and philanthropist – but the self- made billionaire’s rise to international prominence is truly a tale of a man living out the “American Dream.” With just $200 in the bank and an entrepreneurial spirit, Charney started his own law firm representing sports and show business personalities. That same spirit, combined with good judgment and creativity, led Charney to success in New York City’s highly competitive world of finance and investment. Ranked by “Forbes” as among the wealthiest Americans and named by “Bloomberg Business Week” as one of twenty billionaires who started with nothing, Charney is not your ordinary billionaire. Considered to be among the foremost authorities on Middle East affairs, Charney first entered the realm of politics as a Special Counsel to Sen.

  • Jnf Blueprint Negev: 2009 Campaign Update
    JNF BLUEPRINT NEGEV: 2009 CAMPAIGN UPDATE In the few years since its launch, great strides have been made in JNF’s Blueprint Negev campaign, an initiative to develop the Negev Desert in a sustainable manner and make it home to the next generation of Israel’s residents. In Be’er Sheva: More than $30 million has already been invested in a city that dates back to the time of Abraham. For years Be’er Sheva was an economically depressed and forgotten city. Enough of a difference has been made to date that private developers have taken notice and begun to invest their own money. New apartment buildings have risen, with terraces facing the riverbed that in the past would have looked away. A slew of single family homes have sprung up, and more are planned. Attracted by the River Walk, the biggest mall in Israel and the first “green” one in the country is Be’er Sheva River Park being built by The Lahav Group, a private enterprise, and will contribute to the city’s communal life and all segments of the population. The old Turkish city is undergoing a renaissance, with gaslights flanking the refurbished cobblestone streets and new restaurants, galleries and stores opening. This year, the municipality of Be’er Sheva is investing millions of dollars to renovate the Old City streets and support weekly cultural events and activities. And the Israeli government just announced nearly $40 million to the River Park over the next seven years. Serious headway has been made on the 1,700-acre Be’er Sheva River Park, a central park and waterfront district that is already transforming the city.

  • Back Door Channels: the Price of Peace (Documentary) by JAY WEISSBERG
    November 8, 2010 Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace (Documentary) By JAY WEISSBERG A Channel Prods. production. Produced by Harry Hunkele. Executive producers, Donald Tanselle, Matthew Tollin, Arick Wierson. Co-producer, Vered Kollek-Meisel. Directed, edited by Harry Hunkele. Written by Jonathan Hicks, Hunkele, Matthew Tollin, Arick Wierson. With: Gerry Rafshoon, William Quandt, Wolf Blitzer, Samuel Lewis, Leon Charney, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Andre Azoulay, Abdel Raouf El Reedy, Nabil El Araby, Mohammed Gohar, Henry Kissinger, Nabil Fahmy, Nabil Shaath, Avraham Tamir, Arye Naor, Yael Dayan, Patricia Kahane, Smadar Perry, David Landau, Dan Pattir, Shlomo Gazit, Hisham Khalil, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter, Stuart E. Eizenstat, Ahmed Maher, Meir Rosenne, Robert Lipshutz. The behind-the-scenes negotiations leading to the first Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel are revealed in all their riveting complexity in "Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace." PBS docu helmer Harry Hunkele gained unprecedented access to major players for an enthralling dissection of the unlikely path to the groundbreaking treaty, though he bites off more than he can chew and needs to rein in a tendency toward portentous explication, underscored by the incongruous music of Moby and Whale Hawk. Despite such annoyances, the docu deserves widespread exposure on PBS and satcasters. The Camp David Accords, signed in 1978, marked an unlikely moment when idealism briefly triumphed over obdurate stonewalling. Though never entirely satisfactory, the accords offered the hope of a brighter future in the Middle East; the failure of that initial promise in no way diminishes the achievement, whose memory can still bring a lump to the throat.

In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the last syllable, that stressed syllable will be underlined. Example: Melech. Hebrew Rules The following are some of the Hebrew rules you may notice in our siddurim (connection books). In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls Kjl¤ n«¤ somewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a “meteg” (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear. The “masoret” above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which is lkǨ pronounced as “o”; in this example the word is “kol.” The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na.
