University Professor
Professor Bhagwati is described as the most creative international trade theorist of his generation and is a leader in the fight for freer trade. His most recent book Termites in the Trading System (Oxford University Press, 2008) discusses the deleterious effects of preferential trading agreements. His previous book In Defense of Globalization (Oxford University Press, 2004) attracted worldwide acclaim. Five volumes of his scientific writings and two of his public policy essays have been published by MIT press. The recipient of six festschrifts in his honor, he has also received several prizes and seventeen honorary degrees, and awards from the governments of India (Padma Vibhushan) and Japan (Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star).
Professor Bhagwati writes frequently in major newspapers and magazines worldwide and has reviewed for the New York Times Book Review, Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, The New Republic, and Times Literary Supplement. He has also appeared on TV shows including MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, Charlie Rose Show, BBC News, CNN, and Bloomberg Television.
A native of India, Professor Bhagwati attended Cambridge University where he graduated in 1956 with a first in Economics Tripos. He then continued to study at MIT and Oxford returning to India in 1961 as professor of economics at the Indian Statistical Institute and then as professor of international trade at the Delhi School of Economics. He returned to MIT in 1968, leaving it twelve years later as the Ford International Professor of Economics to join Columbia. He is married to Padma Desai, the Gladys and Ronald Harriman Professor of Comparative Economic Systems at Columbia University and a scholar of Russian and other former socialist countries transition problems.

Class Book Awards: Bring the Red Carpet to Your Classroom!

A successful reading workshop is one in which students are truly excited about reading and are constantly building relationships with books and with fellow readers based on common book choices and reading interests. It can be easy to get so caught up in the curriculum that you forget to make time for activities that truly enhance and strengthen the reading community in your classroom. Class Book Awards are a great way to bring readers of all levels and abilities together to celebrate books. With awards season in full swing, what better time than now to allow your students to start nominating their favorite books and bestowing upon them prestigious awards that will remain with those books long after the students leave your classroom?
READ ON to learn more about how students nominate books in different categories, vote for their favorite books using private ballots, take part in an awards ceremony to announce the winners, and creatively display the winning books in the classroom.
1. Explore Well-Known Book Awards
Before students begin developing book award categories and nominating books from your classroom library, they must first study the selection criteria used by notable book awards such as the Caldecott Medal and the Newbery Medal. I often use this time to read aloud award-winning books and create a display of award-winning books in the classroom. Students may choose books featured in the display to put in their book boxes for individualized daily reading. My guided reading groups are often reading award-winning books at this time as well so that students are truly immersed in this prized literature.
Scholastic has lesson plans for teaching with Caldecott Medal, Newbery Medal, and Coretta Scott King Award Winners. You may also use lists of recent Caldecott, Newbery, and Coretta Scott King Award winning books in teaching about these awards. Trade book sets of the Newbery Award winners, Caldecott Award winners, and the Coretta Scott King winners, as well as professional books on the subject are available from the Scholastic Teacher Store.
2. Choose a Unique Name for Your Class Book Awards
Each book award students will be studying prior to the activity has a unique name that represents the award. You will want to choose a special name for your own class book awards. Since most book awards are named after a person, I used to call my class book awards "Newibery" awards since my last name is Newingham. However, since I have begun sharing my class with another teacher, we have given the awards a title that is related to our year-long class theme (e.g., Planet 13 Book Awards for our planet theme and Captain's Choice Book Awards for our nautical theme).
3. Introduce Sample Book Award Categories
To kick off this year-long activity, I choose five book award categories (best illustrations, most unpredictable plot, favorite fiction series, etc.) and pick my own favorite books as the first Class Book Award winners of the school year. Once you have done this for multiple years, you can have the winning books from the previous year serve as your examples. Students have usually seen awards shows on TV, and they know that the actors, actresses, and musicians are given awards in multiple categories such as "Best Actress," "Best Movie," and "Song of the Year." We also discuss how awards are given in different genres like "Best Country Album," "Best Comedy," or "Best Actor in a Drama." I explain how this concept will lend itself to nominating favorite books in different categories throughout the school year.
4. Students Determine Their Own Book Award Categories
Once my students understand how this will work in our classroom, they create their own book award categories. Every other month, students suggest new categories. I write down all of the students' ideas, and they vote on the categories they like best. Each student can vote for three categories, and the five categories with the most votes become the final categories in which students will nominate books for that period of time. I do try to get students to connect the learning we are doing in reading workshop to the categories they choose. For instance, when we studied poetry last year, a category was "Poem with the Best Alliteration." When doing an in-depth character study, a book award category was "Character Who Changes the Most in a Book." When studying the mystery genre, students voted on a "Mystery With the Most Surprising Ending" category. The more specific the category, the more students really put effort into reading and nominating books that truly fit the bill!
5. Nominate Books From the Classroom Library
After determining the five class book award categories, students begin nominating books that they are reading in each category. I create nomination sheets and post them together in a central area of the classroom. Students are allowed to nominate books throughout the two months. The nomination sheets require students to write their own name, the title and level of the book, and its basket location in the library. You can download a sample nomination form (in MS Word).
Once a book is nominated, I ask students to place the book in a special "Student Book Picks" basket so that the book can be easily retrieved by other readers. I ask students to try to read many of the books that are nominated by their classmates during the two months so that they will be more prepared to vote. However, I realize that not all books will be at each reader's "just right" level, and all readers certainly do not have enough time to read every book that is nominated. This activity is just a way to advertise books in the classroom library and encourage students to read a greater variety of books in general.
6. Final Voting
At the end of the nomination period (usually two months) all nominated books are added to a Class Book Award ballot, and each student votes for his or her two favorite books in each category. The book (or series) that gets the most votes in each category will be the official winner of a Class Book Award. Download a sample ballot (MS Word).
7. Host an Awards Ceremony
The winning books are announced at an exciting Class Book Award ceremony. I set up a podium and play traditional awards ceremony music. I act as the host of the awards show, and my students act as the presenters using a fake microphone.
You can even have any students who nominated a book walk the "red carpet" with one of the books they nominated before the ceremony starts.
Selected students announce the nominees in each category and then ask their co-presenter to open a colorful envelope to reveal the winning book. The "audience" cheers, and the student who nominated the book can choose to make an "acceptance" speech to thank his or her classmates for voting for the book. The student also explains why he or she nominated the book.
8. Display the Winning Books
All winning book covers (color copies) are placed inside frames and added to our Class Book Award bulletin board display with a blue ribbon that indicates the category in which each book was nominated. You may use this ribbon template, created in Print Shop, to make your own award ribbons. (If you don't have Print Shop, use the ribbon template PDF.)
Once a book has received an official Class Book Award, it is forever branded with a special seal to show current (and future) students that the book was selected by the students of Room 13 as a great read! Students often look for books with the award seal when choosing new books to put in their book box! Download gold award seals for use with MS Word. (Print on 2x4 labels.)
How Do You Build a Reading Community and/or Celebrate Reading in Your Classroom?
This is an activity I have been doing with my students for many years. I have found it to be an absolutely wonderful way to build community among readers and create excitement about books in my classroom library! Feel free to post your questions or comments about this activity, or share additional ways you celebrate reading in your own classroom. I look forward to hearing from you!

I just find the book covers by searching the book titles on Google images. I then copy the files and print them out as 5x7 photos to fit in the frames.
Did you have to get permission to post all of the images of book covers on your website?
I was wondering how you get the covers of certain books printed? I can't tell if you have taken the book jacket off or how you did this. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful ideas!
I use The Print Shop Deluxe to make most of the signs and banners you see in my classroom. Here is a link to the software: http://www.broderbund.com/p-49-the-print-shop-23-deluxe.aspx
I also use MS Word quite a bit, but I do not use MS Publisher very often at all.
Hi Beth,
I was wondering how you make all of your posters and banners for the different activities and bulletin boards in your room. Do you use publisher or word? Thanks for your help.
I teach first grade and I want to do either the brunch or have book awards next year. Has anyone done this with first grade. I would appreciate any help from anyone. Dee
Your plan to give awards to your 1st graders in writing workshop sounds like a great plan. You'll have to let me know how it goes. I'm sure they will love it!
Hi Beth, I've been thinking about your ideas on the book awards. I think I'll give awards like this to my 1st grade students in Writer's Workshop. I think they'll love it!!
Thanks for answering my questions about your "Book Brunch." I think I may try it out next year!
We have our book brunches during the school day, and parents as well as siblings are invited. Sometimes parents share, but usually the students share a book related to the book brunch theme. It's a lot of fun, and the parents love to see their children (especially the boys) so excited about books!
Here is a better link for Scholastic's awesome guided reading materials/leveled book sets: http://teacher.scholastic.com/products/guidedreading/
They have very extensive collections of both fiction and nonfiction book sets available to purchase at very competive prices!
You asked about books that I use for guided reading groups. My district actually purchased sets of leveled books from MacMillan/McGraw Hill that I use, along with book sets I have purchased from Scholastic.
Scholastic does sell sets of great guided reading books. They are all leveled using the Fountas and Pinnell guided reading levels. Here is a link to all of the guided reading materials on the Scholastic website: http://teacher.scholastic.com/products/guidedreading/
Thanks for posting!!
Hi Beth! I love your ideas and simple, down to earth instruction regarding literacy and the reading workshops.
I teach in a 3rd/4th grade multiage class at an international school in Japan. My administrator is on board with reading workshop (woohoo!) and has given me permission to order resources for next year. I have a fairly extensive personal classroom library, so I was interested in your thoughts about what to use for guided reading groups. We do not currently have a basal but we do have an A-Z reading website subscription. I was hoping for something more permanent for year after year use.
Thanks again, and keep up the encouraging posts. You make a difference! Blessings, Amanda
I submitted this comment earlier under the reading workshop post by mistake, thinking that it was the most recent post. oops :)
Thanks for sharing your own reading celebration! Your book brunch idea is awesome! Do you do these brunches during the school day or before school. Also, it sounds like parents are invited. Do parents also bring their own books to share?
I try to have several book brunches during the year...each book brunch has its own theme. One winter, the theme was "Books that Warm the Heart". The students chose books that touched them personally in some way to share. They read excerpts and gave book talks while sipping hot chocolate and enjoying cookies. The parents loved to see their children (especially the boys) so engaged and having natural conversations about reading.

text: Ok, I may be way off, but maybe something I say may be a brain nudger. When new, my bike had a BAD front end shimmy when decelerating from 70 to 45. The guys at the stealership who did final assembly checked it and said they didn't torque the front whell to speck and it was loose. As far as the chain goes, what first comes to mind is to have its alignment checked at a shop. The front centerline may be different than the rear. causing it to sit out more on one end. that would affect it's overall tightness, it would be looser on either the left or right side of a sprocket. I say go to the dealer and have it checked. Perhaps they can tell you what is wrong. In that case ask how much to fix and upon their answer, say you're gonna have to go work out some finances cause things are kinda tight right now, more than you anticipated, yadda yadaa. Then go home and fix it and silently thank them for the free diagnostic. This has worked for me for years on cars. Unrelated to your problem, when I was breaking my clutch free yesterday I just threw a seat on the holes in back real quick. Didn't check to make sure it was on right in the front. Now my seat won't come off. Any ideas?

HELP! > Date: Sat, 23 May 2009 07:26:41 -0500 > > I'm having mechanical issues right now and it's confusing the hell out of me. For starters it has a vibration that started happening around 65mph, now it's worked it's way down to 40mph. So something's getting worse. The other issue I'm having (which could be the root cause) is that when I set my chain tension, the left alignment tab is moving aft about 1/4 notch while the right doesn't move at all. The real confusing part is, that despite the axel moving aft, my chain tension is becoming more and more slack. I haven't pulled the chain yet to check the length on it, but I don't think the chain has more than 10k on it. The chain is getting loose enough that it's running along the chain guard on the top of the swing arm and leaving black plastic flakes all over my left pipe. I'm a bit paranoid to ride it long distances in it's condition. Any ideas? I'm tightening the rear axle bolts to 80 lb/ft as stated in my manual so I know that's not the cause... _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_BR_life_in_synch_052009

We love God when we choose to love Him, when we direct all our desires to Him, when we seek to know Him, and when we strive to persevere.  For our love of God to be authentic, it must involve our whole being: our intellect, our will, and our desires. St. Jose Maria Escrivá expressed the love of God in this way, quoting a Spanish ballad: "I have no use for divided hearts: I give mine whole, and not in parts" (The Way, no 145).

Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: Year of Faith, Daily Homily, Gospel of St. John, Love of God, , Christian Love, Obedience, Heart, Soul, Mind, Strength, Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds, St. Theresa Sugar Land, TX
CATHOLIC ONLINE (Sugar Land, TX). When asked which of the commandments of the Law was the greatest, Jesus said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). On another occasion, he adds the qualification "all your strength" (Luke 10:27) to the equation. Clearly, Jesus is interested in a love that is whole, complete, and entire. Â
This is the love to which God calls us. This is the only kind of love that will fulfill us.
We use the word "love" to refer to many different degrees of affection or preference. We say that we "love" a particular kind of food, entertainment, or sport. We also say that we "love" our friends and family. These loves are not equal. Only by paying attention to the context in which the word is used can we fully appreciate the quality of love to which a person refers.
The language of the Bible, however, admits of a greater nuance. In the Greek of the New Testament, there are four distinct words that are used for love. To refer to highest form of love, the sacred writers used the word "agape." This word refers to a love that is supernatural, all-embracing and sacrificial.
This is how God loves us, and how wants us to love him.
Is it even possible to love God in this way? How do we engage our mind, heart, soul and strength so that they help us to love God and to grow in that love? According to St. Thomas Aquinas, these Biblical terms have a specific meaning and correspond to the powers of our soul.
In St. Thomas' understanding, "heart" refers to the human will, the power of decision-making. "Soul" refers to the passions and appetites. These are powers that move us to some action, whether good or evil. "Mind" refers to the intellect, the power to know and understand. "Strength" refers to our commitment to carry through with difficult tasks.Â
We love God when we choose to love Him, when we direct all our desires to Him, when we seek to know Him, and when we strive to persevere.  For our love of God to be authentic, it must involve our whole being: our intellect, our will, and our desires. St. Jose Maria Escrivá expressed the love of God in this way, quoting a Spanish ballad: "I have no use for divided hearts: I give mine whole, and not in parts" (The Way, no 145).
During the Last Supper, Jesus gives his disciples another key for interpreting the quality of their love for God. "Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me" (John 14:21). Just when we think that the love of God is beyond us, Jesus gives us some concrete direction. Â
Obedience to God's commandments draws us into the love of God.
The obey God is not a blind or heartless compliance. Obedience requires that we listen to God, that we hear him and take his words to heart, acting on them freely and joyously. God gives us his word through the Sacred Scriptures and in Sacred Tradition, preserved in the constant teaching of the Catholic Church.
And so that our obedience might be animated by joy, Jesus gives us a glimpse of the fruit of a life of fidelity: "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him" (John 14:23). Through his gracious love, and with our correspondence to the divine will, God will actually come to live within us by his grace. What could be more marvelous? To possess God, not as an idea or desire or memory, but in Himself.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church quotes a beautiful prayer of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity that expresses this desire with great simplicity and clarity:
"O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me forget myself entirely so to establish myself in you, unmovable and peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing be able to trouble my peace or make me leave you, O my unchanging God, but may each minute bring me more deeply into your mystery! Grant my soul peace. Make it your heaven, your beloved dwelling and the place of your rest. May I never abandon you there, but may I be there, whole and entire, completely vigilant in my faith, entirely adoring, and wholly given over to your creative action" (CCC, no. 260).

"Even if you like living alone, that doesn't always mean you want to be alone."
The author and journalist Lisa Napoli does this thing where she opens her door on Friday nights and throws a "party" in her LA abode. Anybody can come and socialize. It's such a lovely idea and seems like a great way to build relationships and foster community in one's own way.
The sentiment of this idea reminds me of a story theologian Roberta Bondi once told about being involved and showing up:
"I would just find when I came home at the end of the day, I would be so exhausted that I could hardly contain myself. And I would be met at the car, usually, pulling into the driveway by my two children and my husband, who would all come out to tell me all the things that had gone wrong in the day, like the washing machine had overflowed and the rug in the dining room was soaking wet. And I would think, 'Oh, I just want to go back to school.' I would come into the house, and Richard and I would fix supper, and then we would sit down and eat and I would fall asleep with my head in the mashed potatoes. But the fact is that I knew all along that, however it was, it was better that I was there than that I wasn't there, that my family needed me, that being part of a family means showing up for meals. And prayer is like that. However we are, however we think we ought to be in prayer, the fact is we just need to show up and do the best we can do. It's like being in a family."

Ruth Nussbaum, Zionist, activist and famous rebbetzin dies at 98
Ruth Nussbaum, an eyewitness and sometime participant in some of the most momentous events in Jewish history over the past century, died Tuesday, April 27, in her Sherman Oaks home as a result of congestive heart failure and complications of pneumonia. She was 98.
Services will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, April 29, at Temple Israel of Hollywood in the sanctuary named for her and her husband, the late Rabbi Max Nussbaum, followed by interment at Hillside Memorial Park. The public is welcome.
Displaying amazing vitality and total memory recall until the final hours of her life, Ruth Nussbaum was described by Rabbi John Rosove of Temple Israel as "perhaps the most remarkable person I have ever known. She was a historical figure and she was our conscience."
Nussbaum was born Ruth Offenstadt into a prosperous and assimilated Jewish family in Berlin and later studied languages, philosophy and art at universities in Berlin and Geneva.
After a brief first marriage ended in divorce, and witnessing the growing Nazi persecution of Jews, Ruth and her baby daughter, Hannah, moved to Amsterdam in 1937. Among their neighbors was the Frank family, whose daughter, Anne Frank, frequently came by to play with Hannah, according to Ruth's grandson, Gabriel Nussbaum.
The same year, Ruth became acquainted with a rising young Reform rabbi from Berlin, Max Nussbaum, who visited Amsterdam frequently. Ruth and Max were married by a judge in Amsterdam on July 7, 1938, and then again a week later in a religious ceremony in Berlin by the distinguished leader of Progressive Judaism, Rabbi Leo Baeck.
In late 1940, with the war raging in Europe, the young Nussbaum family managed to get visas to enter the United States. The rabbi obtained his first position at a congregation in Muskogee, Okla., where Ruth gave birth to son Jeremy.
Rabbi Nussbaum was offered the pulpit at Temple Israel of Hollywood in 1942, and served for 32 years, until his death in 1974.
His wife quickly found her métier in the booming metropolis. "She was beautiful, elegant, highly intelligent, very hospitable, and Max relied on her emotionally and intellectually," Rosove observed. "She was the quintessential rebbetzin in the best sense of the word."
The good-looking Nussbaum couple socialized easily and equally with Hollywood celebrities, visiting Israeli leaders, and the intellectual elite of the German exile community in Los Angeles.
But they invested much of their time and energy in their two great passions, Zionism and the American civil rights movement.
In general, the Reform movement came late to its support of Zionism, and Ruth was instrumental in the creation of the Association of Reform Zionists of America (ARZA), swaying many delegates at a national Reform convention with an impassioned speech.
Five years ago, ARZA conferred a prestigious award on Ruth Nussbaum, and on the occasion, Rabbi Stanley Davids, then the organization's president, lauded the honoree.
"Ruth played a pivotal role in helping to reshape the Reform view of Zionism," The Journal quoted Davids. "She sees the need for pluralism and democracy in Israel; to her, these are Reform Jewish values. To her, Jewish nationalism is a seamless and natural aspect of Reform Jewish identity."
Gabriel Nussbaum added to the portrait in an interview. "Ruth felt strongly that the civil rights movement was the American parallel to Jewish Zionism, and both she and Max fought tirelessly for racial equality in the United States," he said.
In 1965, the Nussbaums welcomed the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to the pulpit of their temple.
Gabriel Nussbaum is a New York filmmaker and has spent years interviewing his distinguished grandmother; he said he expects to release a documentary on her life and times in about a year.
Ruth was a meticulous organizer and archivist, and she left precise instructions for her funeral service, designating Rosove, and Professors Lewis Barth and William Cutter of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, to deliver the eulogies.
She further requested excerpts from Brahms' "Requiem" as part of the musical presentation, and that psalms be recited in Hebrew, not English.
She was equally firm that Eshet Chayil, the Woman of Valor verses from the Book of Proverbs, frequently recited or sung at the funerals of notable women, be omitted from her service.
Ruth Nussbaum is survived by her daughter Hannah Marsh of Los Angeles, son Jeremy Nussbaum of New York, grandchildren Margaret Sinai, Daniel Marsh, Lily Nussbaum and Gabriel Nussbaum, four great-grandchildren and two nieces, as well as numerous cousins in Israel.
The family requests that any memorial donations be made to the Rabbi Max Nussbaum Fund, Temple Israel of Hollywood, 7300 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90046. The fund provides scholarships for study in Israel and the presentation of annual scholarly lecture.
Ruth Nussbaum
Delivered in Loving Tribute by
Naamta lee m'od,
You were most dear to me.
So said David upon learning of the death of his beloved friend Jonathan, and so do we say as we honor the life of one of the great women of our generation, truly among our people's g'dolei dor.
Ninety eight years young, Ruth was both of and beyond her time, bridging generations and worlds, the world of a vanished Europe and a reconstituted Jewish community in America and Eretz Yisrael.
When God created Ruth, the Holy One had to have retired the mold – for no one was or will be like her – no one can compare to her. Ruth was sui generis, unique, wondrous and beautiful in form, heart, mind, soul, and spirit.
So very intelligent, astute, gracious, kind and refined, Ruth mixed easily with people of every age and station, from the most simple to world class leaders and intellects.
How does one capture the essence of a woman whose life spanned a century and who herself witnessed and participated in the most important events in modern Jewish history?
How do we measure the love and admiration felt by so many for Ruth over so many years?
How do any of us count the ways in which Ruth touched our lives personally?
And speaking personally for a moment, how do I express my gratitude for having known and loved her, and being loved by her in return.
Each of us has our story with Ruth, and her story deserves to be told today for it is emblematic of an age even as it is a uniquely individual tale.
Ruth was at once elegant and hip, classically cultured and tuned in to the current cultural milieu. She was well read in the classics in several languages, a lover of poetry and literature, opera and classical music, art, history, and politics.
"It is not the position which accords honor to the person, but the person who accords honor to the position," so teaches the Pirkei Avot. Ruth embodied this truth and in honoring others always, she brought distinction and honor to herself.
Born in Berlin on September 9, 1911 to Margaret and Max Offenstadt, Ruth and her beloved older sister Lily grew up at the cultural heart of Berlin society. She studied French literature, art and philosophy at universities in Berlin and Geneva, and she knew several languages. She married Fritz Toby in 1932, gave birth to their daughter Hannah two years later, and in 1936 they emigrated to Amsterdam to escape the rising danger of Nazism. Their marriage didn't last, and when they divorced a year later, Fritz emigrated to Palestine though they maintained a cordial friendship until his death.
For one year, therefore, Ruth and Hannah lived together in an apartment in Amsterdam. Anne Frank and her family lived around the corner, and the young Anne often came over to play with Hannah and the other children in the neighborhood. Ruth took a photograph, now historic, of Anne and Hannah playing together in a sandbox in Ruth's back yard. Life magazine later profiled Hannah and the other surviving children from that photograph.
It was during this time that Ruth met the young and dynamic Rabbi Max Nussbaum who served in Berlin under Rabbi Leo Baeck. Max fell for the young, cultured and beautiful Ruth, and pursued her. Ruth, in turn fell passionately in love with him. They were married by a judge in Amsterdam on July 7, 1938 and a week later, they returned to Berlin to be married under a chupah by Rabbi Baeck.
A photo of Ruth and Max descending the steps from the Berlin synagogue on that July 14, 1938 shows a beautiful young bride wearing pearls, a headband, holding a flowing floral bouquet smiling sweetly alongside her handsome young groom, Max, looking dapper with kerchief in suit pocket and donning a derby. The man in the white coat with his back to us was a member of the Gestapo assigned to watch Max.
Ruth told me years ago about that day - that Max had been taken into custody by the Gestapo days before his wedding because the Nazis regarded the young firebrand Zionist Rabbi Nussbaum as "subversive." But, learning that his wedding was imminent decided to release him as a "wedding present."
In the two years that followed the Nussbaum's greeted increasing numbers of Jews into their apartment each Shabbat afternoon who, in desperation, had turned to them for comfort and help in gaining signatures necessary to leave Nazi Germany.
Then that fateful night in Jewish history arrived. On November 10, 1938 on what came to be known as Kristallnacht, the shammes of the Berlin Free Synagogue informed the Nussbaums that their synagogue building was on fire. Fearful for his young wife, Max insisted that Ruth wait for them on a street corner two blocks away while he and the shammes proceeded on. The two men entered the burning building and Max rescued the smallest Torah from the ark, this scroll that they would smuggle out of the country and bring here to rest in our Aron hakodesh.
Towards the end of their time in Berlin, as the Nazis were sending Jews to concentration camps and destroying every Jewish institution in Germany, the only buildings left alone were some of the larger synagogues because it was there that the Nazis knew they could keep track of and round up the Jews for deportation.
One day the Gestapo came for him and knocked on the door of their apartment. Ruth told Max to hide in the bathroom and not to come out under any circumstances. She then greeted them with all the grace and warmth that the young Ruth could muster, and welcomed these brutes into their home. Ruth explained that her husband had left for a meeting some time before and that she did not know when he would return, but they were welcome to wait for him in the living room. Ruth prepared snacks and served them drinks – one after another. As they got drunk, they decided that it wasn't worth their time to wait any longer – and left. In their drunken state they didn't think to search the apartment.
All the while, in New York Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, the great leader of American Jewry, was attempting to find positions for German liberal rabbis in the United States so that they could leave Germany and enter this country. American immigration authorities, however, didn't make it easy and wouldn't allow Jews into the United States without a secured job and a substantial security payment of $1200, equivalent to a year's salary in Germany.
Rabbi Wise secured a position for Max at a small synagogue in Muskogee, Oklahoma. However, it would take more than fifteen months to work the system and get the Nussbaums proper visas.
Because Hannah was not Max's biological daughter, this five year old couldn't get a US visa, and so she remained with Ruth's parents in Berlin.
When Ruth and Max finally arrived in New York, they took a train to Washington, D.C., and with the help of the publisher of The New York Times met with Secretary of State Henry Morgenthau to give him an account of the condition of Germany's Jews, and to acquire visas for both Hannah and Ruth's family. Ruth kept a detailed diary of this meeting and later donated the papers to the Franklin Roosevelt Presidential Library.
After five months with Hannah traveling with her grandparents from country to country, they finally arrived in America and were happily reunited.
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, Max set about first to learn English. Ruth spoke fairly well, and translated for him in the initial period. Max eventually taught at the University of Oklahoma and was soon sought after as a rising figure in the American Zionist movement. He traveled and lectured widely about the plight of German Jewry and Zionism while Ruth raised little Hannah and gave birth to Jeremy.
Max's rising star caught the attention of the leadership of Temple Israel of Hollywood in 1942. He was brought to Hollywood for an interview and subsequently wrote to Ruth what he had seen and experienced; 'The weather is warm, the palm trees everywhere and the women beautiful – a Garden of Eden.'
Max moved to Hollywood to assume his duties in advance of Ruth, and she and their children followed. Ruth and the kids were met at Union Station by a Sisterhood delegation headed by Pearl Friedman, an imposing "Ethel Merman" like figure, who forthrightly explained to Ruth what the women of the synagogue expected of their rebbitzin; and Ruth didn't disappoint.
She filled the typical rebbitzin role for that era as a gracious partner to her husband. She nurtured, enabled, advised, and counseled Max, critiquing and editing his sermons, transporting him everywhere because he didn't drive a car, and reminding him when necessary who everyone was as they approached him. All the while Ruth devotedly raised their children, oversaw and juggled family affairs with her public duties.
Each High Holiday season, the Nussbaums opened their home at Gardner and Franklin Streets and graciously welcomed hundreds of congregants and well-wishers.
She was active in Sisterhood, wrote and directed skits and plays for Sisterhood luncheons, and gave an annual book review.
Ruth took on leadership roles in the wider Jewish community as well, working with State of Israel Bonds from its inception in 1951, Hadassah, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Women's Division of the United Jewish Appeal and the Jewish Federation Council of Greater Los Angeles.
When they first arrived in Hollywood the Temple was located on Ivar Street, and they have the distinction of both living and working on this site on Hollywood Boulevard because they lived in a little house that existed here before this facility was built. Once the Temple was built in 1948, they moved to their home on Franklin and Gardener – a place that became a social center for congregants and visitors, scholars, fellow refugees, and leaders in our city, country and amongst our people.
The Nussbaums were close personal friends with many renowned German and Jewish exiles in Los Angeles, including Thomas Mann and Leon Fechtwanger. They welcomed Rabbis Leo Baeck, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Mordecai Kaplan, and other leading figures in Jewish academia and in the international Zionist movement as Shabbat dinner guests before services.
Ruth and Max felt strongly that the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s was the American parallel to our own people's Zionist aspirations, and so both fought tirelessly for racial equality in the United States.
On February 25, 1965, the Nussbaums welcomed the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. to this pulpit. Ruth had very much wanted to host Dr. King for Shabbat dinner before he spoke at services as she did for every visitor, but security was exceptionally tight due to death threats against Dr. King that had increased in the weeks following the assassination of Malcolm X, and the security detail around him wouldn't permit it.
By the late 1950s Max's national and international celebrity had risen. In 1959, after months of secret planning, Ruth brought her husband onto the set of a television studio at NBC to talk about Passover in an interview, or so he thought. In truth, Rabbi Nussbaum was set up by his own wife and welcomed in a back stage corridor by the shows famous host Ralph Edwards with the iconic phrase, "Rabbi Max Nussbaum - This is your life!"
Ruth and Max were among the most passionate Zionist leaders in the western United States in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, and they traveled frequently to Israel in the early years of Statehood as leaders in the American Zionist movement. They were participants of the first UJA mission to Israel, and they shared the Brandeis Award of the Zionist Organization of America where Max served as President.
They knew everyone - Prime Ministers David Ben Gurion, Levi Eshkol, Golda Meir, and Yitzhak Rabin; Foreign Minister and United Nations Ambassador Abba Eban, Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, and future Israeli President and Air Force Chief of Staff Ezer Weizmann.
In 1964 in his role as ZOA President, Max and Ruth were invited to the White House when Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol was honored at a State dinner. President Johnson, with his eye always keenly attuned to the presence of a pretty lady, spotted Ruth. This 6 foot 4 inch lug of a Texan rambled over to Ruth's table to invite the diminutive five foot Ruth to dance. Charmed, Ruth accepted. When she told me the story she put the experience this way; "President Johnson held me very close, and he was a very good dancer!"
I asked, "Did Max mind?"
She giggled – "No – not at all!" But there was a glimmer in her eye and she wore a devilish grin!
Needless to say, Ruth and Max enjoyed a life long love affair. They did everything together, and felt fortunate to be able to spend his sabbatical in the mid-1960s living in Jerusalem.
When Max planned his retirement they looked forward to a life together free from the pressures of congregational and Jewish organizational duties. Sadly, that was not to be. One Shabbat morning in the summer of 1974, a year before his retirement, Max succumbed to a heart attack in his home. In an instant, Ruth's world changed.
Her loss was tremendous, but ever strong she grieved deeply and then picked herself up and remade her life.
Among other things Ruth took on the mantle of Zionist leadership and most especially she played a pivotal role in helping to reshape the Reform movement's view of Zionism, once anti-Zionist. She understood the need for promoting religious pluralism, human rights, and democracy in Israel as fundamental Reform Jewish values. To Ruth, Jewish nationalism expressed in Zionism is a seamless and natural aspect of Reform Jewish identity.
Consequently, she became actively involved in the formation of the Association of Reform Zionists of America (ARZA), the Reform movement's Zionist organization, and was the singular voice at the Union of American Hebrew Congregations biennial convention in 1976 that turned the tide and for the first time in its history established American Reform Judaism as a Zionist movement.
Ruth had spent the night before that fateful assembly drafting with others the resolution that passed the convention. She was for the rest of her life at the heart of ARZA. She served as a national Vice-President and as spokesperson extraordinaire for our Zionist Movement.
When ARZA was admitted into the Zionist Congress at Binyinei Haomah in Jerusalem, Ruth was accosted by one of her former friends from the ZOA who called her a "traitor." She looked him in the eye and said, "Far from being a traitor I'm following the dictates of my heart and the footsteps of Max in representing Zionism as a Reform Jew." Discussion closed! She didn't speak to this man again.
Ruth was made an honorary life member of the ARZA National Board, and served as an important inspiration and model for me as I assumed just this past Monday, on the last day of Ruth's life, at the national board meeting of ARZA in Chicago, the very same office that Ruth held as a national Vice President of ARZA, an organization of which I and so many of us are very proud – and even more so because of Ruth's important leadership at its founding thirty four years ago. L'dor vador!
Ruth was a distinguished public figure since the moment she married Max in 1938. Nevertheless, the most important people in Ruth's life were always her family. She adored her parents Margaret and Max, and her sister Lily, who had made aliyah in 1932 and established a substantial clan in Eretz Yisrael.
Ruth was passionately in love with Max, and cherished her children, Hannah and Jeremy, and their spouses Ron (z'l) and Charlene; her grandchildren Danny and his wife Cindy, Margaret and her husband Sharone, Gabriel and his wife Elizabeth, Lily, and Stevie (z'l). Ruth delighted in the births of each of her four great grandchildren Ruby, Max, Jake, and Gabriela. The Marsh family, Hannah's machatanim, were family to Ruth for fifty years and included Gary and Harriet Marsh, Sandra and Larry Leiman. Ruth maintained a close bond with her Israeli family, Lily's daughters and her nieces Naomi and Judy, their husbands and her great-nieces Tamar and Dafna, among many others.
As many of us know, Ruth and her family mourned the tragic loss of her grandson, Stevie, who died in a hiking accident when he was 17, and Hannah's husband, Ron, who passed away a month later, literally, from a broken heart. Their loss was beyond awful, and Ruth strove to hold up her family as she too grieved.
Shabbat with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was a cornerstone of stability and joy in Ruth's week, and she was so excited to attend last June the wedding of her grandson Gabriel to his
Ruth once remarked as she aged that the best way to stay young was to have many young friends. Indeed, her friends were many and crossed the generations. She was a member of two book groups, one of which has been meeting for more than half a century, and another that includes women from 30 to 98.
Gabriel and his bride Elizabeth, documentary film makers, have filmed hundreds of hours of footage with interviews, photographs, film clips, documents, and remembrances in a documentary of Ruth's life. It's now in the editing phase, and when finished, Gabriel, I pray you will bring this film to show our community here in this very room.
Speaking personally, I want to say how much Barbara and I loved Ruth. We cherished her support of us as a rabbinic couple here at the Temple, and she provided a different but very important model as we made our own way. She is without a doubt the most remarkable person I have ever known.
I want to acknowledge, in addition to her family, two very close relationships to Ruth. The first was the mother-daughter like relationship that Ruth enjoyed with Geri Mund. They treasured each other, were intellectual equals sharing many confidences, interests and passions. As Hannah likes to say of Geri, "She is my mother's other daughter!"
And second, Rabbi Lew Barth. In the early 90s Ruth and Lew, who was inspired to become a rabbi and scholar by Max having grown up in this congregation, began to work closely together king on the compilation of Max's writings. Their time together over a two year period reading through thousands of pages of documents produced an extraordinary volume - Max Nussbaum: From Berlin to Hollywood – A Mid-Century Vision of Jewish Life that is as much a testimony to Ruth's remarkable spirit as it is to Max's.
The Rabbi Max Nussbaum Memorial Lecture that Temple Israel shares annually with the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles will never be the same again without Ruth. She told me who she wanted for next year's scholar, and I am going to do everything possible to engage him to speak here in her memory.
Eighteen years ago we dedicated and named this Sanctuary as the Rabbi Max and Ruth Nussbaum Sanctuary of Temple Israel of Hollywood, the first synagogue in Jewish history, I believe, to name its main Sanctuary not only in memory of its distinguished rabbi, but also in honor of its rebbitzin. This service could not be anywhere but here – a place Ruth loved in which so much of her life transpired.
We have lost one of our great ones this week. Words ultimately pale to express how significant was Ruth's life. Yet, I'm reminded of what Antony said in his closing remarks of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar":
"Her life was gentle, and the elements
Zichronah livrachah – May the memory of this righteous woman be a blessing. Amen!

This, consequently, increases the risk of disease being transmitted from parasite to animal," Dr. Molina said.Scientists issued a plea for dog owners to be more vigilant about protecting their pets and themselves from diseases spread by blood-sucking parasites, according to a media release from the Bayer HealthCare Animal Health Division.Dogs are particularly vulnerable to attack from parasites - such as ticks, fleas, sand flies, stable flies and mosquitoes - which are capable of transmitting dangerous pathogens. Some pathogens may lead to severe diseases in the dog, and, if left undiagnosed and untreated, may in some cases be lethal, the scientists said."Ongoing climate change, as well as the increased movement of dogs through travel and importation, has enabled the wider spread of infectious agents, with ticks, fleas and mosquitoes now finding niches in new countries," Dr. Xavier Roura of the veterinary teaching hospital at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain, said at the symposium. "Pet owners need to understand the severity of diseases such as leishmaniosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, hepatozoonosis and Lyme disease, and do what they can to treat and prevent them."Dr. Roura is urging pet parents to take measures to protect their companions from parasites."It is important they are aware of how to best safeguard dogs from any increased health threats," he said. "Preventative measures that not only kill parasites but also repel them before they bite the pet appear to currently be the most effective choice to reduce the risk of transmission of infectious diseases, helping to protect the health of pet and owner."Margaret Fairhurst, an official with Bayer Animal Health, cites the importance of studying the potential future impact of parasite behavior on animal and human health."Through ongoing research and the accumulation of our scientific knowledge in animal health, particularly in parasitology, we will be better equipped to identify new disease threats and quickly work to effectively address them," she said.More reports about dogs and flea, tick and insect control:Pet deaths prompt tougher EPA rules for flea, tick itemsUse of flea, tick products a must despite pet deathsStop ticks from dogging - or killing - your petYour dog may have you sleeping with thousands of fleasMore reports about dogs and healthTHE RUFF REPORTSo easy to read.

Seattle, Wash., native Queen Underwood (above) received a call on Monday morning for which she had been waiting more than a month. According to USA Boxing, the 28-year-old lightweight immediately fell into tears upon learning that she would be nominated to compete in the inaugural Olympic Games for women's boxing in London. Underwood received the call from USA Boxing Executive Director Anthony Bartkowski and was reportedly too emotional to speak after receiving the news.
"I'm just so happy right now," Underwood said. "All I heard was welcome to the Olympic Team and I just couldn't control my emotions. I am just happy and thrilled that they chose me. This is just awesome."

All nominations are subject to approval by the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Fields finished first in the winner-take-all final to land one of the two available men's BMX spots. David Herman had already qualified as the season's BMX Power Rankings leader.
"All that matters is the final and that one moment of getting to the final and winning the final," said Fields, who had compiled the second-most points in the multiple qualifying heats. "It doesn't matter if you won every lap leading up to that.
"It feels so much bigger than winning any other bike race; punching a ticket to the Olympic Games. It's a real honor."
Long made the team as a discretionary choice. He was sixth in points at the Olympic Trials.
Post was the discretionary choice to join Arielle Martin, who had already made the women's BMX team as the season Power Rankings leader.
The Saturday announcement filled 10 male and 11 female spots for road cycling, track cycling, mountain biking and BMX (bicycle motocross).
The United States earned the maximum five men's and four women's berths in Olympic road cycling.
Tyler Farrar, a Tour de France stage winner and the 10th-place finish at the 2011 world championships, made the men's road cycling lineup along with Chris Horner, Tejay van Garderen, Timothy Duggan and Taylor Phinney.
Phinney is the team's youngest member, but he is already an Olympic veteran after placing seventh in the individual pursuit on the track at Beijing in 2008.
Evelyn Stevens was the only automatic qualifier in road racing. Shelley Olds, Kristin Armstrong and Amber Neben join her on the women's roster.
Armstrong, a 2008 Olympic gold medalist who had briefly retired, has won all eight international time trials she has entered in 2012.
Sarah Hammer was the only automatic qualifier in track cycling, where the United States will have four women and two men entered. Dotsie Bausch, Jennie Reed and Lauren Tamayo were selected to join Hammer. Bobby Lea and Jimmy Watkins were the men's track selections.
Reed is headed for her third Olympic appearance while it will be the second each for Hammer and Lea.
Georgia Gould earned the only mountain bike automatic nomination and her second Olympic appearance. She will be joined by Lea Davison.
Samuel Schultz and Todd Wells were the men's mountain bike selections. It will be the third appearance for Wells.
"We have a strong team going to London with a solid combination of experience, leadership and young talented athletes who are all capable of standout performances," USA Cycling vice president of athletics Jim Miller said.
Elsewhere, Joe Dombrowski won the Giro Ciclistico d'Italia Sunday.
Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal secured a spot in the London 2012 Olympic Games Saturday then continued their success Sunday by winning their first grand slam title at the FIVB Grand Slam in Italy.
Gibb-Rosenthal, who finished fifth at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, clinched enough FIVB qualifying points to earn their nomination to the team for London with a win Saturday. They beat Brazil's top-seeded team of Emanuel Rego-Alison Cerutti, 21-13, 21-12, for the gold medal.
"I can't believe it, really," Gibb said in a FIVB release. "It was a big win for us here. They are the world champions and, in my opinion, the best in the world and we got lucky tonight.
"This is our first Grand Slam and it is something I haven't done in 12 years of my career, so it is a very special moment."
The United States also had two bronze medalists, Matt Fuerbringer-Nick Lucena and Jennifer Kessy-April Ross.
The United States rallied to defeat Brazil, 20-25, 25-18, 25-18, 25-23, Sunday in a meeting of the top-two teams in the women's world rankings.
The two teams were undefeated in Pool E of the FIVB World Grand Prix going into their match in Sao Bernardo, Brazil.
"It was a really tough match," U.S. coach Hugh McCutcheon said. "We played in an amazing atmosphere and Brazil was great in defense."
The two-time defending champion United States is 6-0 and in first place in the 16-team tournament with a tiebreaker over China. There are three matches left in the preliminary round, which concludes next weekend.
Jordan Larson led the way with 16 kills and four blocks. Destinee Hooker, who had been the team's leading scorer in the first five matches, added 16 kills, two blocks and an ace.
The United States had defeated Italy, 27-25, 25-20, 25-17, Friday and Germany, 25-23, 25-23, 25-17, Saturday.
Elsewhere, the U.S. men improved to 4-2 halfway through pool play in the men's FIVB World League when they defeated host France, 20-25, 25-22, 25-19, 25-21, in Lyon Sunday. The U.S. team heads to South Korea next weekend.
Sean Rooney led the way against France with 16 kills, three blocks and two aces. Clay Stanley had nine kills, three blocks and four aces.
The United States won three straight weekend matches and has a tiebreaker edge on France for first place in the pool.
The United States battled past Italy, 30-28, 28-26, 25-22, Friday and South Korea, 22-25, 25-23, 27-25, 25-16, Saturday.
Four Olympic-bound, Greco-Roman competitors won medals for the United States Saturday at the Gedza International in Belgrade, Serbia.
Olympian Dremiel Byers won a gold medal at 120 kg/264.5 pounds. Byers did not give up a point while winning three matches and was named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament.
Chas Betts (84 kg/185 pounds) earned a silver medal while Spenser Mango (60 kg/132 pounds) and Justin Lester (74 kg/163 pounds) picked up bronze medals while competing above their usual weight classes.
Mango had earlier won gold while Paul Tellgren took silver at 55 kg/121 pounds.
The United States was second out of nine in the team standings, behind Serbia.
Elsewhere, Logan Stieber (60 kg/132 pounds) and J.D. Bergman (96 kg/211.5 pounds) won titles at the Zolkowski International, a freestyle event in Siedice, Poland Sunday.
Obe Blanc (55 kg/121 pounds) and Tervel Dlagnev (120 kg/264.5 pounds) had won titles Saturday. Angel Escobedo (55 kig/121 pounds) finished second and Jarod Trice (120 kg/264.5 pounds) third to help the United States place second in the team standings behind Turkey.
The U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Diving began Sunday with preliminaries and semifinals in women's synchronized 3-meter and men's synchronized 10-meter.
Kelci Bryant and Abby Johnson will take a narrow lead over Christina Loukas and Kassidy Cook into Thursday's finals.
David Boudia, a 2008 Olympian, and Nick McCrory lead by more than 100 points. Toby Stanley and Steele Johnson are second.
The Trials continue through June 24 in Federal Way, Wash.
The U.S. Olympic Committee announced the 34 swimmers — 20 women and 14 men — who will compete in the 2012 Paralympic Games in London Aug. 29-Sept. 9. All nominations are pending USOC approval.
The announcement came Sunday in Bismarck, N.D., a day after the completion of the USA Paralympics Swimming Trials there.

Nice product
Posted by Reviewer3198777 on May 08, 2011
I bought this as a possible remedy for IBS symptoms. I can't say I am 100% but am about 90%better since taking this product for only 2 weeks. I can't imagine it's coincidence since I have been suffering for years, and have tried probiotics, as well as through diet. This has been the only thing to provide relief. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the taste of the stuff. Basically you're drinking vinegar. Still takes some getting used to but if you hold your nose and drink it fast, you should be very satisfied with the results.
good stuff!
Posted by Reviewer3058529 on May 19, 2011
As prescribed, this natural elixar helps with digestion, and fatigue. It gives an almost immediate energy boost. I'm very pleased with this product- and it's got good bang for the buck.
So far so good
Posted by Reviewer2236342 on Jun 09, 2011
I have been taking the ACV for 3 weeks now. Wow my skin has improved dramatically- much clearer fewer breakouts. I take it after lunch and the bloating and discomfort are much less now. I went and bought 3 more bottles so I dont run out.
Good for health
Posted by Reviewer2256452 on Jun 29, 2011
My doctor advised me to take a couple of Tbsp. of this product daily. It's supposed to be very good for digestion, however, he prescribed it for my constant heartburn. Sometimes constant heartburn is from too little acid in the stomach...especially if you have taken proton pump inhibitors for years, as I have. Initially, it made the burning much worse...but I stuck with it, as advised. At this point, 2 months later, I haven't suffered from my usual daily bouts of discomfort in weeks!
Excellent Product

Great product and love using it.

Yet another goodie to chug down within the day. This has been around for years. The only way I can really drink is with cold water and some Stevia. Will give it a few months before I make decision to continue or not. iHerb shipping pretty fast, prices great, shipping rate fantastic if you take advantage of Free shipping over minimum price.

Power Authority And First Responders Holding Emergency Preparedness Drill
Lou Paonessa
October 13, 2011
LEWISTON—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) will team with local emergency responders to stage a medical emergency preparedness exercise at the Niagara Power Project on Saturday, October 15 from 7 a.m. until approximately noon. A staging area will be located near the exit point of the conduits at the forebay near the Lewiston Pump- Generating Plant. This is a secure area of the Niagara project not accessible to the public. Travelers on I-190 and on Military Road can expect to see several emergency vehicles dispatched to the generating facility as part of the drill.
(EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: Since the drill will be conducted by non-public, secure areas of the Niagara project, the news media will not be allowed on the site for security and safety reasons. If this were a real emergency, NYPA would set up a media command post away from the emergency site.)

It looks like Modern Family star Ariel Winter will be placed in the care of her older sister until further notice.
Ariel's sister Shanelle was granted legal guardianship last month after court documents alleged physical and emotional abuse from her mother Crystal Workman. It seems that their mom wasn't too happy about this and reportedly tried to leak nude pics of Shanelle to the press!
But lest you think this is an outrageous National Enquirer story, an actual publicist, Jonathan Hay, came forward with the allegations and said he won't release the photos, according to Radar Online.
Find out what Jonathan had to say about all this after the jump!
