All students must register for courses to be enrolled in a semester. Students are responsible for adhering to registration instructions and information. All potential new students, whether full- or part-time, should contact the Office of Admissions before registering.
Students must satisfy all financial obligations before they are permitted to register.
Students may drop and add courses without academic penalty during the time indicated in the academic calendar. If a student has not officially dropped a course or received an approved course withdrawal by the completion of the semester, the instructor must submit a final grade for the student.
Returning Students
In order to register, returning students must have clearance from the Business Office, the Office of Financial Aid, Health Services and their advisor. Registration dates may be found in the academic calendar. Returning students will receive additional registration information through their salve.edu email account.
To register:
- Visit with your advisor to review your registration plan prior to the start of registration.
- Log in to My Information and select "Search and Register."
- Select appropriate courses. For independent study and internship, complete the special forms required and submit them to the Office of the Registrar.
- Complete your registration before the published deadline each semester to avoid costly late fees.
New and Non-Matriculated Students
New and non-matriculated students may register with the Office of the Registrar in Ochre Court. Students who are not able to register in person may submit a registration form by mail or fax. Graduate and continuing education students may also register online.

Dropping and Adding Courses
Students are permitted to drop and add courses during specific dates published in the academic calendar. Students must follow the official drop/add procedure published in the schedule of classes. Deadlines for dropping and adding courses each semester are published in the academic calendar and are strictly observed. Failure to drop a class within published deadlines may result in a failing grade, while failure to add a course within published deadlines may result in lost credit.
Auditing of Courses
Students in good academic standing may audit courses. Students may register a course as audit, change from audit to credit or vice-versa only during the drop/add period. No academic credit is granted for audited courses, and on successful completion, a grade of "AU" (audit) is recorded on the transcript.
For undergraduate courses, auditors must fulfill course requirements except for the final examination. For graduate courses, audit requirements are determined by the instructor. At both levels, failure to satisfy the course requirements for auditing is a ground for removal of the audited course from the student's record.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Sarah Bunin Benor, HUC Associate Professor of Contemporary Jewish Studies about her book.
SFS: Congratulations on the publication of your new book Becoming Frum : How Newcomers Learn the Language and Culture of Orthodox Judaism
SBB: Thanks!
SFS: I find that I'm struggling to form some of the questions. Do I use your terms of BT (ba'alei teshuvah, i.e. Orthodox Jews who grew up non-Orthodox) and FFB (frum, i.e. Orthodox, from birth)? or try to translate them?
SBB: Might as well use those terms and translate them on first use.
SFS: In your book, you describe how newly Orthodox Jews have to not only adopt the laws and customs of the Frum community, but also their speech patterns. What makes their language different?
SBB: The English speech of Orthodox Jews in America includes hundreds of words from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Yiddish, as well as other distinctive features, like chanting intonation patterns, a hesitation click from Israeli Hebrew, and Yiddish structures like "staying by us" and "what do we learn out from this." Orthodox Jews, especially those toward the "Black Hat" end of the continuum (in contrast to Modern Orthodox), tend to pronounce Hebrew words in the Ashkenazic way, like ha-LUH-cha instead of ha-la-CHA (Jewish law) and SUK-kiss instead of su-COAT (Holiday of Tabernacles). When Jews become Orthodox, they tend to pick up many of these features. Some of these newcomers go overboard in the use of these features, and others are more selective, using only those that feel authentic to them.
SFS: Many of these features sound like things my Yiddish speaking grandparents might have said. How did they become engrained as religious speech?
SBB: Good question. Yiddish is associated with Orthodox Jews for a few reasons. Although Orthodox communities have been in the US for centuries, a significant percentage immigrated to the US in the post-war era. So many of the middle-aged Orthodox Jews today are the children of immigrants rather than the grandchildren of immigrants. Second, and perhaps more importantly, Orthodox Jews maintain a strong ideological connection to Eastern European Jews. Many of the cultural practices I write about in my book – not just language but also food and dress – are influenced by the traditions of the recent Eastern European past.
SFS: When FFBs and BTs interact with the non-Orthodox world, do they use the same "frum-speak"? (what do you call it) or do they revert to more standard English?
SBB: Most FFBs and BTs are aware of most of the distinctive linguistic features of frumspeak (Orthodox Jewish English), and they avoid them when speaking to non-Orthodox Jews and non-Jews. But some, especially new BTs who want to highlight their new identity, use them consciously. Some BTs and FFBs use some features unconsciously, such as "staying by them" and some of the distinctive pronunciations.
SFS: How did you decide to use the word "frum" in your title
SBB: I considered several titles without the use of "frum," but I decided to use it because I wanted to give the reader a sense of the insider nature of language in Orthodox communities. I ran the title by many colleagues, including some with little knowledge of Jewish studies. Some felt that the use of "frum" was off-putting, but most found it intriguing and advised me to keep it.
SFS: and how much do you pepper your own speech with Hebrew or Yiddish words?
SBB: Frequently. But some of the words I use are different from those I heard in the community of my research. I say "drash" (interpretation, sermon) and "tikkun olam" (repairing the world), whereas those words are not common among Orthodox Jews. I did pick up some new words during my research, like "chas v'shalom" (God forbid), which I still use regularly.
SFS: I assume that there isn't as extreme speech differences in other Jewish communities, e.g. Reform, Conservative, but do they also have distinctive characteristics?
SBB: Definitely. That will be one of the focuses of my 2nd book. Their distinctive linguistic features are mostly just Hebrew and Yiddish words.
SFS: One piece of your research that I found fascinating was that Jews who self-identify as "Black hat" use Ashkenazi (Central/East European) pronunciation even if their own family background is Sephardic (from Spain/Portugal) while some people who identify as Modern Orthodox use the Sephardic/Israeli pronunciation. Is this a rejection of their family history?
SBB: Note that many Modern Orthodox Jew do use Ashkenazi pronunciation, but that is one way to look at it, and maybe their parents feel that way.
SFS: What was the most surprising linguistic tidbit you encountered during your research?
SBB: Probably the periphrastic verbs. Sentences like this are common: "We do all that shtik to be mesameach the chossen and kallah" (we do those routines to entertain/gladden the groom and bride). It sounds weird in general American English to use "to be" with a transitive verb, and you don't hear this construction much among non-Orthodox Jews.
SFS: You seemed to incorporate using social media tools as part of your research. What did you use and how did it work?
SBB: I used frumster.com to research some of the categories of the Orthodox continuum: Modern Orthodox Liberal, Modern Orthodox Machmir, Yeshivish Modern, and Yeshivish Black Hat. With permission from the Frumster staff, I culled data from profiles (anonymously) and checked for correlations between these categories and various practices, like men's tzitzit wearing, women's hair coverings, and Yiddish knowledge. I also used data from blogs. But most of that research came after my initial ethnographic study, which was in 2001-2. Back then websites were not as common, and facebook and twitter did not exist.
SFS: I know that you also put a lot of thought into the book cover. How did you decide on this image of Jews eating sushi?
SBB: I wanted an image of BTs doing something not common among black-hat FFBs, like snowboarding or eating some exotic food. Most exotic foods wouldn't be recognizable in a picture, but sushi is. Ironically, sushi is becoming very common among Orthodox Jews, so the sushi won't immediately identify these Jews as BTs. But I still think it conveys what I want to convey: that some BTs come up with unique cultural combinations.
SFS: Thank you for taking time to speak with me. I look forward to your next book!

The Oxford English Dictionary defines facsimile as: "an exact copy or likeness; an exact counterpart or representation1." The current "Collection in Focus" includes a selection of manuscript facsimiles, including books of hours, from the Ingalls Library Rare Book Collection. The original of each item featured is unique because each was produced before the use of movable type, the invention of the printing press circa 1439 by Johannes Gutenberg (c.1398-1468)2 and the subsequent mass production of printed books.
Although many manuscripts were simply functional and very plain, some were quite beautiful and lavish. Such books were created for sovereigns and popes and others with the wealth necessary to afford the luxury of commissioning a book made by hand. The production of manuscript facsimiles is often very expensive as publishers seek to reproduce the text, images and materials at the highest quality possible.
The Ingalls Library collects facsimiles to aid research and scholarship by enabling scholars to study and examine these volumes without having to travel to remote locations to view the original. While facsimiles can never replace the importance of viewing the original item, they are a convenient way to facilitate comparative study.
Hours of Isabel la Catolica is an illustrated manuscript held in the Biblioteca del Palacio in Madrid. The manuscript has 84 miniatures, and represents a move from the richly stylized forms of the Middle Ages to the naturalism of the Renaissance. It consists of the calendar for local and regional feasts, and many Gospel Sequences, Psalms, prayers, masses and passion readings. Thought to have been illustrated in Bruges in the atelier of Willem Vrelant, the book has Catalan script, hinting that Spanish scribes resided in Bruges.
Travels of Marco Polo/Das Buch der Wunder/Le Livre des Merveilles is a full color manuscript presented to Jean, duc de Berry (1340-1416) by John the Fearless (Jean sans Peur) in 1413. It is illuminated by the Boucicaut Master. The duc de Berry was an avid bibliophile who commissioned the most famous book of hours, the Tres Riches Heures. The original manuscript of Marco Polo is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.
The Morgan Crusader Bible, created for Louis IX between 1244-1254, was designed to glorify the French monarch as the spiritual leader of the world. Originally designed without text, the manuscript is thought to have had multiple creative hands of the highest quality. These same artisans are thought responsible for Sainte-Chapelle's wall decoration and stained glass windows, dedicated in 1248. The Bible acquired text in Latin and Persian before passing into 19th century ownership, and surfaced in Egypt with Judeo-Persian inscriptions.
Officium Beatae Mariae Virginis/Book of Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary is thought to be a book of hours produced in a Paris workshop. Devoted to the liturgical hours of the day, it focuses on the infancy of Jesus and the life of the Virgin. Books of hours were frequently given as wedding gifts or to celebrate the birth of a child, especially the first born. The Officium Beatae…was purchased between 1840 and 1844 by Abbe Marincola, together with other books from the library of Pope Pius VII (1742-1823). In the absence of other documentation, little can be hypothesized about the original patron.
Das Vatikansiche Stundenbuch Jean Bourdichons is a 15th century book of hours owned by the Vatican Library, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, no. 3781. The artist, Jean Bourdichon (1457-1521) was the official painter to French Kings, including Louis XI, Charles VIII, Louis XII, and Francis I. Bourdichon's masterpiece, the Grandes Heurs of Anne of Brittany, is owned by the Bibliotheque National in Paris.
The Golden Gospels of Echternach was produced around 1030 at the Imperial Abbey at Echternach in Luxembourg, under the direction of Abbot Humbert. This great monument of Romanesque manuscript illumination, written in gold ink, comprises 136 folios that contain the Vulgate version of the Gospels and cannon tables. The sumptuous jeweled cover predates the manuscript by about 50 years, and is set with cloisonné enamel plaques, gems, pearls and a synthetic ivory cross. The cover was a gift of the dowager Empress Theophano and her son, Otto III, to the Imperial Abbey. The original manuscript is owned by the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany.
All of our facsimiles may be viewed by library visitors upon request.

Life Table Analysis System
Newest LTAS.NET Windows Version 2.0.16 Now Available
The current version, LTAS.NET Version 2.0.16, was released October 2008. Many of the reference documents have been updated with this release so before you download and begin using this new version please visit the Documentation page to find supporting information, Including
As you prepare to download you will be asked to register so we can send you a notice of updates. Even if you have registered before we ask that you please do so again so we can have current information for you.
While extensive testing on LTAS.NET has been conducted, not all possible variations have been evaluated. If you discover a problem or issue please bring it to our attention at the Contact LTAS Staff page.
Life table analyses originated as a form of survival analysis in which survival times are grouped into intervals. Hazard or incidence rates are calculated for each interval. Intervals might be constructed by age, calendar time, duration of exposure, or level of exposure (for example, ppm). Rates for the cohort under observation might then be compared with external rates for some large (typically unexposed) population to obtain an estimate of the relative survival of the cohort compared with the external population.
The NIOSH Life Table Analysis System was created primarily to analyze cohorts defined by occupational exposures. It therefore requires input of a work history file in addition to a demographic and outcome file. LTAS constructs rates by age, sex, race (usually white/other-race), calendar time, and duration or level of exposure. LTAS then compares the observed rates for the cohort under study with comparison rates from a referent population; rates for several referent populations are supplied with LTAS. Rates are calculated as observed events, typically deaths, divided by person-time at risk in the interval.The Life Table Analysis System (LTAS) was developed at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) during the 1970s. Originally, LTAS was available only on IBM mainframe computer systems. During the 1990s LTAS was made available in a PC-DOS version called PC-LTAS. The current version of LTAS has been developed for use on the following Windows platforms: 98/2000/NT/XP. This version of LTAS, called LTAS.NET, is more interactive than the previous mainframe or MS-DOS versions and provides greater flexibility for data input, export and analysis.

OZ Minerals has confirmed a loss of 61 jobs at its Prominent Hill mine site in the far north of South Australia.
The company said operating costs were under review, including contracts for supplies and services.
It previously said boosting its Indigenous workforce was a focus, but 10 of the jobs to go were Indigenous employees.
OZ Minerals still has about 160 Aboriginal workers at the copper and gold mine.
Former Indigenous liaison officer at Prominent Hill, David Hunter, was one of those who lost his job, three weeks ago.
He said those out of work might struggle to find new employment.
"At the moment I don't think there's a lot going on because there's quite a few down at Roxby or Olympic Dam have been put off," he said.
"I've spoke to people up in the Alice and they said out at the Granites (gold mine) is getting very slow."

Top Interviewing Tips for the Bio-Pharma Industry From Leading Recruiting Expert
January 21, 2010
Make "Next Steps" Question Last Step in Job Interview
By Megan Driscoll, Biopharma Recruiter
Part 1 – The Telephone Screen
Part 2 – The Face-to-Face Interview
Part 3 – The Scientific Presentation
Part 4 – The Offer Stage
Hiring Managers are evaluating you in three main areas during a phone interview:
1st – Your technical fit for the position
2nd – Your personality and fit for the group
3rd – Your verbal communication skills
How is the hiring manager assessing your technical fit for the position?
Hiring managers need to know that each candidate possesses the relevant technical skills necessary for the position. The keys to the technical questions that will be asked are in the job description.
Prior to the phone interview, familiarize yourself with the bullets from the required skills section of the job description. Highlight the points in the job description where you see the words required and preferred and begin thinking of examples where you have experience with those skills. Write your answers out and keep them near the phone for your call. You will be asked about the required skills set, so don't be caught off guard about these inevitable questions.
If there are required skills listed in the job description that you do not have experience with, don't worry. Simply state that you are familiar with that skill and a quick learner, and that you are genuinely interested in developing that experience. Many hiring managers will overlook a lacking skill set if they are convinced the candidate is a fast learner and has a genuine interest in acquiring the knowledge in question.
How is the hiring manager evaluating personality?
Fifty percent of any job interview process is focused on a candidate's personality fit into the group. Although this will be more of a focus in a face-to-face interview, the interviewer will certainly be trying to get a feeling about personality over the phone.
Coming across likable over the phone can be difficult. In order to do this you must:
1- Match the style of the interviewer
2- Exhibit enthusiasm for the position and the company
Matching style.
The cue to the hiring manager's style will be in the way the person starts the conversation. If the interviewer gets right to business very quickly on the phone, you are dealing with someone who is matter of fact and possibly very busy. Do not try and lighten the call, just simply respond with the same serious approach to your answers. If on the other hand the interviewer sounds very upbeat and starts the call by discussing personal matters, return the favor and try and open up a bit. If you feel high energy in the voice of the interviewer, you will want to be upbeat as well.
Show enthusiasm.
First, make sure you tell the interviewer that you are interested and excited about the position. Many candidates forget to actually say this during a phone interview.
Additionally, prior to the phone interview, at a minimum, go to the company Web site and look at the product portfolio. Familiarize yourself with not only the job description, but also how that position might fit in to the company's overall drug development pipeline. After viewing the product pipeline, scan the company's recent news section as well and work that information into the call. This will show you have done your homework.
How is the hiring manager assessing your communication skills?
Verbal communication is a key component of the phone screen evaluation. The two questions a hiring manager is asking are: Can you answer questions clearly and concisely? Are you able to give more than just yes and no answers?
Be mindful of rambling, but make sure that every answer you give is elaborated on. I often hear from hiring managers that when a candidate answers in solely yes or no's, they automatically question their aptitude. Conversely, if you do all the talking and some of it seems aimless, hiring managers will also question your aptitude. The best way to avoid this is to have prepared examples of your skills written out and next to the phone. This should keep you on point and prevent you from being too verbose.
Final Points:
As a rule, listen more than you talk.
Try and find a private place where you are not worried about others listening to your conversation. If you are in a cube, this may mean that you would need to schedule calls before or after the work day. Interviewers would rather accommodate a time before or after work than deal with cryptic or half answers.
Know that a call from HR will be very different than a call from a hiring manager. The HR call will be more about you personally, while the hiring manager will be more about your technical background.
Try to take the call from a land line. Cell phone usage has become very popular, but cell coverage is still inconsistent and the clarity of a cell line is not yet as clear as a land line. There is nothing more annoying than to be speaking to someone and have it be broken up, or worse disconnected.
Part 2 – The Face-to-Face Interview
In addition to being a strong technical fit for the position you are interviewing for, hiring managers are evaluating you in three main areas during a face to face interview:
1st – Your appearance
2nd – Your attitude
3rd – Your preparedness
The golden rule regarding your appearance is: Wear a suit and dress as conservative as possible. If you are a struggling post doc with no extra money to spare, do not be afraid to check out the consignment stores. The suit does not need to be fancy or expensive, it simply needs to fit you well and be clean. This rule applies even if the company is casual or business casual. No one will ever fault you for wearing a suit.
Interviewees should never wear cologne or perfume as it can be very distracting and to some, even repulsing. If you are a smoker, do not smoke in the clothes you will be wearing or within several hours of the interview's start time. Certainly avoid smoking throughout the day as well. In today's day and age of the health conscious, most people frown upon smokers, so don't put yourself at a disadvantage unnecessarily.
In the end, remember that if you look sharp, you will feel sharp. A professional appearance will allow you to act more self confident.
Your attitude throughout the interview process is incredibly important. Think of an interview like a six hour play where you have landed the lead role. This is the opening night, so although you have rehearsed for the show, you haven't had any live practice and like all opening nights, the critics are in the front row waiting to write about how you performed. You are on display all day, so you are going to need to keep your energy and your momentum up.
The first sign of a person's personality or attitude is their face, so make sure you are smiling. The more you smile the better. Remember, even a fake smile is better than no smile at all. Additionally, remember that people, including myself, do judge others on their handshake, so be sure to use a firm one.
At the end of each of your meetings, tell the interviewer how excited you are about the company and the position. I often ask candidates if they said this and many admit they forget. This is unfortunate. I have worked with hiring managers who have passed on candidates simply because they didn't think the candidate was interested, so if you always tell them that you are, they can not be mistaken.
Exude humility. Arrogance at any stage in your career is ignorance. Some of the most successful scientists I know are humble and gracious. Let your accomplishments speak for themselves. Conversely, don't be a shrinking violet either. No matter what the position is, either a management role or not, interviewers are looking for candidates who can lead. Throughout the day try and work in examples where you have led others. Never ever speak negatively about your current or former colleagues or companies. Additionally, always try to turn your negative experiences into positive experiences.
The final key to face to face interviewing is being well prepared by, "doing your homework." Most candidates don't bother to look into the backgrounds of the interviewers on the agenda and this is a real opportunity lost. In Bio-Pharma, almost everyone has published something, so candidates can always and easily find out information related to their interviewer's research interests. Get the agenda and search those names on PubMed (www.pubmed.gov) or a related database and see if you can scan through the papers they have published.
Familiarize yourself with at least one thing about each person you will be meeting and be sure to mention that fact in your interview. If you do this, you will truly stand out.
Read through your CV and be sure you can give examples of all the work you have done that you list. Different people gravitate towards different skills, so you need to be prepared and speak about all of it. To that end, don't put experience on your CV unless you can back it up in person. Never pad your resume, it will make for a very uncomfortable face to face interview.
Hiring managers are looking for leadership skills even at the more junior levels of the organization. Be sure to discuss and have prepared at least one project where you exhibited strong technical skills and also one project where you led or mentored others. Feel free to repeat those stories throughout the day if they are relevant.
Finally, understand that you will need to impress everyone you meet, regardless of who they are or at what level they are within the organization. Everyone on that interview team has a voice.
Part 3 – The Scientific Presentation
The presentation portion of your interview is make or break. If your scientific presentation is poor, it is highly likely that you will not get the job you are interviewing for. To avoid this misfortune, there are three things you can do to increase your chances of success.
1 – Ask the hiring manager for guidance on choosing your topic
2 – Practic, Practice, Practice
3 – Anticipate questions and prepare answers
1- Ask the hiring manager for guidance on choosing your topic.
Don't be shy about calling or e-mailing the hiring manager for advice on topic selection. If the hiring manager is excited about your talk, it is very likely that the rest of the group will be, too. This direction will also help you understand what subject matter is relevant to his or her groups focus. To some hiring managers, it might not matter what you talk about. These hiring managers are using the presentation to evaluate your communication skills and assess how you field questions. However, as you interview for more senior level positions, what you actually choose to talk about will be evaluated and the best person to put you on the right track is the hiring manager. Your asking for help on topic selection shows you are interested in fully preparing for your interview. Generally, hiring managers appreciate presentations in the following format:
Statement of the problem or project.
Identification of the expected outcome or theory.
Description of the methods and tools used and results of those "tests."
Discussion of the problems or obstacles encountered, either expected or unexpected.
Outcome, and if different from expected outcome, why.
If at all possible, compose your scientific data in this way. It will allow the attendees to see how you think through a process and overcome obstacles, a skill everyone in the Bio-Pharma industry is interested in.
2 – Practice, Practice, Practice.
Be sure your presentation is peer reviewed and one that you have given several times before. If this is a new presentation for you, take the time to give the presentation as many times as possible to your colleagues or scientific friends and make sure to solicit feedback from them. You are better off knowing the truth about your presentation before you get into an interview setting.
It is also important to know your audience. Because there will likely be employees from all parts of the organization at your presentation, be sure to speak at a level that everyone can understand. Therefore, when practicing, invite people to your presentation that are both junior and senior to you.
3 – Anticipate questions and prepare answers.
Preparation for the question and answer session is key. During your practice rounds, encourage your peers to ask questions and write down those that were asked. Reflect on those questions and come up with clear and concise answers. This preparation will help you avoid giving only yes or no answers on the day of your interview.
Hopefully you will not be asked something that you don't know the answer to, but if you are, never make up an answer! State that you would like to think further about it and get back to them with the appropriate response. If this happens, do follow up with that person after the interview with a reply.
The offer stage actually begins long before you have convinced the company where you are interviewing that you are their ideal candidate. It begins when you have to start talking about salary and expectations.
Either before your interview or the day of your interview, you are going to be asked to fill out an employment application. Each company will ask you slightly different questions, but the point of the document is the usually the same. They want to get permission to run a background check and they will want you to provide your references and some brief employment and academic history. They will also want to know your current compensation and your salary expectations.
How do you answer questions about your professional, academic, and salary history?
On all questions, be completely truthful. Never misrepresent your professional history, your academic credentials or your current salary information. If you do, the company will find out in a background check and you will certainly not be hired. Conversely, don't leave anything blank either. Information left blank draws a red flag and will appear that you are trying to hide something. This is especially true with the current salary question. I sometimes have candidates say to me, "I think I am underpaid, so if I tell them what I am earning, I might get a low ball offer." This is not true. Even if you are underpaid, a company is going to take into consideration three things when making you an offer.
1 – Your current base and bonus
2 – Internal equity
3 – How badly they want you
If your base is low, you are not going to escape it, but the company will balance your base against the other factors and make you a fair offer.
As a note, if you receive stock awards or a yearly bonus, make sure you include that information with your current compensation. For instance, if you are earning 100K, with a 15% bonus plan and you receive 1000 stock options yearly, be sure to include all of that information. You want the company to understand your full compensation story, especially because the company where you are interviewing may not pay their employees exactly the same way your current employer pays. For example, the company you are interviewing with may not offer stock options at all, and they might want to make that up to you in an increased base or bonus, or a sign on bonus if necessary.
How do you answer a question about your salary expectations?
The answer is simple. On your application simply write negotiable. Nothing more, nothing less. In your interview, you might also be asked verbally about your salary expectations. This is a key point to remember: When asked about your salary expectations, you simply say, "I would consider any reasonable offer." ™ If the person responds with, "No, really, what are you looking for?" Reply again with "No really, I am very excited about your company and the role I would play here, I would really consider any reasonable offer."™ No interviewer will ask you this question more than twice. It is important that you understand that this is a loaded question and you can not win if you answer it. If you state a number that is perceived as low, you will likely not get a dime more than the number you have given. If you state a number that is too high, even if the company loved you, they could pass on your candidacy because they don't think they can afford you. Always let a company make the first move regarding offer. You can always negotiate from there, as most companies expect you will anyway.
Once an offer has been made, you want to spend some time really thinking about the offer before you do, or ask for anything. If they really knocked your socks off and the offer is truly more than you expected, don't bother negotiating. Although negotiating is sometimes necessary, it is not always perceived positively, especially if a company has gone above and beyond to make you happy. Therefore, if you are happy, don't risk the potential negativity of negotiating for what will amount to usually no more than a few thousand dollars.
However, if you are truly dissatisfied with the offer, but you want the job, then it is appropriate to negotiate. The operative phrase here is, if you want the job. Never waste a company's time negotiating an offer if you don't really want the position. You will not look good in the end.
Throughout the offer negotiation, try and put yourself in the shoes of the HR or the hiring manager that you are working with. It will help you keep perspective on a process that can not only be very overwhelming for you, but for them as well. Additionally, remember that your behavior while negotiating the offer and accepting is your first act as an employee of that company and will set the tone for the first few months of your new career.

Prepared by Myrna Siegel In the west entry of our shtetl Maytchet on the road that leads to the villages Dvoretz and Zhetl my grandfather Reb Moshe Aaron Boretcky's mill stood which he got from his father Reb Meyerim of blessed memory. This area was a small empire because in that area lived the extended family of Reb Moshe Aaron, and the distance between the houses and the villages were one to two kilometers. Between the houses and the post office building there were only a few houses and the Boretcky family home was located in that area.
My grandfather Moshe Aaron and my grandmother Hana Freidl, his wife had had five sons and four daughters. They all lived close to their parents. Only two sons, Jacob and Yizachara, emigrated to the United States. My grandfather Moshe Aaron had a very noble look. He was very handsome with a long white beard. He was very charitable. The elders of the town told how when they would meet him shabbat evening walking to the synagogue a very long distance, they asked him: It does not matter, on Saturdays and holidays every Jew and even Jews from other villages would come to the synagogue. But on Friday night this is a very long distance. Is it not beyond your strength? and he would answer: For distance I will receive a bigger mitzvah. As concern for my age, I receive my rewards during the days of the week. And I am obliged to fulfill my duty and to thank whoever gave me my rewards. And beyond that he would continue and say, Try to imagine the pleasure I had when I returned from the synagogue to my home Friday night and they all came towards me, the sons, the daughters, the grandchildren, and would receive me and welcome me with shabbat shalom blessing."
Farmers came to the mill with wagons and they would bring with their grain. They would pay for flour with money or barter. Moshe Aaron gave part of his earnings to the poor people of the city.
As has been noted, my grandfather Reb Moshe Aharon was blessed with many descendents. His son, my father Reb Noach, married my mother Alte, daughter of Naftali Hertz and Sima Dvoretsky, who at first lived around Maytchet and later moved to Baranovich. My father set up his household in Maytchet near his parents' home and helped his father with the mill, and my mother Alte was one of the first teachers in the first Hebrew School of the town. My parents
[Page 225]
had two daughters and two sons. I [Chana Mechtiger] was the oldest daughter. I went out to a hachsharah kibbutz near the time of the outbreak of the Second World War, and I arrived in the Land of Israel after many tribulations. I live there today. Their second daughter, Feigle finished studies in the Tarbut seminary for kindergarten teachers in Vilna, even though she was orphaned from our father Reb Noach, who died at a young age in
(Died 1930)
1930. She began to work as a teacher in Maytchet. I still have Feigele's letters that she sent to her relatives abroad, written in the Hebrew Language. From them, it seems that she dreamed of coming to Israel and continuing her studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. From the content and style of her letters, it is apparent that were she to have been able to realize her desire, she would have become an expert in the field of education, the field that she had always been interested in. To our sorrow, she perished in the Holocaust with our mother and two brothers, Meyerim and Herzl.
[Page 226]
A second son of my grandparents Reb Moshe Aaron and Hana Friedl Boretsky was my uncle Reb Shmuel. he married Ethel Block and they had two daughters and four sons. Like his brother, Reb Noach, Shmuel also worked with his father in the mill. Reb Shmuel served in the czar's army as an officer and his wife was a very devoted homemaker and also an actress in the local drama club. The entire family of Reb Shmuel was liquidated in the Holocaust apart from one daughter who made aliyah to Israel in one of the earlier Zionist movements Hashomer Hazier in 1936.
The third son was my Uncle Benzion who was married to Chasha Sharshovsky. They perished in the Holocaust and their only daughter survived. She was extremely beautiful and the lead actress in the drama group of the city. After many hardships and a miracle, she survived and went to Eretz Israel after the war. There she established her family.
|Alte Boretcky and her two sons Herzyl and Meyerim
The daughters of Moshe Aaron married and established their own families. My Aunt Miriam lived in Horodishtch, Poland and she was killed there with members of the family.
My Aunt Dvorah who was married to Moshe and my Aunt Henya who was married to Label Lozovsky. Both of them established their families in Maytchet. The son-in-laws worked in the mill and they all lived in the neighborhood until they were exterminated in the Holocaust.
My Aunt Nachama, who was a widow, continued to live with her parents Moshe Aaron and Hana Friedl. She was also killed in Holocaust.
[Page 227]
The Boretsky family was large and everyone knew them there were many branches. The children supplied bread to all the farmers and supported the poor people in town. Their good deeds did not save them in the Holocaust. Their end was like all the Jews of that town. May their names be remembered.
Here are two letters that were brought to the editor which were written by Feigele from Maytchet before the Holocaust. The letters written in a wonderful Hebrew and lots of warmth, express endless love to Eretz Yisrael and strong desire to make aliyah after finishing her study in the Hebrew seminar in Vilna. But the enemy arrived too soon andended her life dream.
Those letters are being published as they were written and let it be as a memory for her pure soul.
1st Letter:
Greetings to my dear Uncles and Aunts,
After a long silence I take my pen in hand and will tell you what is happening with me and ask to hear news from you. First of all I would like to know how you are doing and how are my Uncle and Aunt, The Americans? How are little Batya, and infant Zvi? I send greetings to all my family who are very dear to me. My Uncle and Aunt in America, I want you to always be aware of our fondness. I wish to G-d the time will come for our meeting. Shevat Achim Gam Yached (Brethren will sit together).
My beloved Uncles and Aunts, I am thinking that you would like to know who is the one who is writing to you. I am Zippora (Feigl) who studies in the Tarbut seminary in Vilna for kindergarten teachers. I'm in my second year and in another year and a half I will finish. Then I will get a job. But to my sorrow I find it difficult for me to fulfill my aspirations. In my long journey I have encountered many obstacles that are not making it possible for me to arrive at my destination. But despite everything, I move forward with an elevated head, and I will not allow my head to bend and surrender to those obstacles. And I am thinking that you would give me a helping hand.
[Page 228]
|I am writing this letter from home. I came here for the winter holidays for 18 days. I have leave to stay home until January 9th. I think I, the unfortunate one, will have to stay longer because my mother cannot afford to send me further. I found the house in a very bad state. The pale face of my mother and her white hair frightened me. Every corner of the house is full of sorrow. It is not the same house that was joyful and fun. My mother gave all her strength for me and she cannot do any more. My little brothers can only add another tear to the cup of misfortune and weeping. So my dear ones, I have decided to turn to you. If you are indeed concerned for me, please add another brick, another hand, and the building will be completed.
I am confident that you will take my letter seriously and you will extend a helping hand to me. For, If not now, when? If not you my loved ones, who will be interested in me? I have no one to turn to. The gates of heaven are closing in front of me.
Once more I am turning to you with a request that you should really understand me and my thoughts. This letter should not remain with you as a piece of paper that is turning over in the wastebasket. I shouldn't have to stay in the house and be a joke and laughing stock in everybody's eyes.
My dear uncles and aunts -- I would like very much to know what impression Eretz Yisrael made on you. Also I, the young one, am longing and hoping for the land of our forefathers. The day of redemption will come for all the Jewish people, and we will be as all the other peoples. We will plant, we will plow, and we will harvest. We have suffered enough carrying the heavy load and the hard yoke on our shoulders that the Diaspora imposed on us. There will come the day when we will be free people. For you will hear the voice from afar: Peace, peace will be in the Land, and A wolf will live with a lamb and a tiger will sleep with a little goat
[Page 229]
|I ask you once more that you reply to us and also you should send a photo. Batyale and little Zvi should also write to us about how the Chanukah Holiday passed in Eretz Israel. I extend my greeting to all of you. Greetings to Shifra and her husband. I am inviting you to Poland -- please come! Zippora, who is fighting for a brighter future.
2nd letter:
Greetings to you my dear ones:
My eyes were lightened from happiness, drops of tears dripped, the happiness is big. You my dears answered my request. Thank you very much my dear uncles and aunts, really you were the only ones who understood and know how short the time is and it is important to deliver the help. The day I received your postcard I didn't know what to do, I was confused, I ran to the seminar to let them know that I also may be able to attend the exam, that I am a student as all the others. I was jubilant.
The exams passed by very quickly and the day arrived which I matriculated. Dear uncles and aunts, it is hard for me to express my happiness and feelings. My poor little pen is not able to deliver everything on the paper. My heart beats with excitement. I am excited. For three years I was fighting however I won the battle and I worked hard until I arrived to the day of light. I am at home now for a week, and again my happiness is not full, my mother's pale face and her hair that was whitened from problems frightened me and expressed the big change in the house. I felt that I am the guilty in it all, true. I am the one who caused the bad situation in the home. But I did it not out of badness. I wanted to study. And I was forced to run and leave the little isolated village, in my heart two forces are fighting. My heart shrinks from pain as I am looking at my mom. Oh dearest. The human always fight and will never be content with he has. However I will try to be different. My first ambitions I fulfill and I will try to fulfill further. I will stand again to the battle with life and I am forced to step forward. To study further, not to delay. However first I have to be grateful for all of those who knew to appreciate my studying in Vilna and who try to help me in the needed moment. Now I will get a job and I will work, in order to earn a bit, and afterward I would like to make aliyah and to study in the University, if only it will work out for me. My ambitions to make aliyah, because this is the only place for me.
With lots of love,

My mother Ethel of blessed memory was orphaned at an early age. Her father passed away at the age of 33 years. Her mother remarried and was forced to leave her children and move to her second husband. While she was still very young, she bore the burden of tending to the household and caring for her three brothers, two of whom were even older then her. Later, she was accepted at a large hide enterprise. Thanks to her golden hands, she was assigned as the chief cutter and allocated work to many other stitchers. In this way, she earned an honorable livelihood.
My mother was a very wise woman with many talents. She had an unusually sweet voice and was always happy and full of life, with a constant smile on her face. She was also a lead actress in the amateur acting group. She had the lead role in every performance. She played The Witch (Mechashefa), Mirele Efrat and many other roles of this genre. She read many books. Before I immigrated to Israel she would sit on long winter nights with a book on the table, as she was knitting beneath.
She had a good place in the community, for everyone admired her. Her origins were from a fine, honorable, family. I did not know her parents, and do not know anything about them. However, her mother's brother was a well-known rabbi in Lida. All of his sons were teachers, whereas other cousins were Torah scholars, pharmacists, etc. Mother spent years in the home of this uncle in Lida, where they loved her as a daughter and a sister in every way, and there were sufficient reasons for this.
I remember her from the age of three, when we fled as refugees at the end of the war and lived in one room - mother, Nathan and I. We lived a life of poverty, with simple, unsalted food, and wearing a work dress, albeit nicely decorated in red. I wore shoes that were too large for my feet. I recall that there was only one bed for the three of us, and one day, an additional one appeared, made of two poles covered with burlap. Of course, we took turns sleeping in it at night. Once at midnight, I realized that mother was not beside me in the bed. I searched around in the dark and found mother sitting next to a soldier in uniform, talking to him. I got up with a scream. I chased the soldier away, as I was afraid of him. This soldier was my father whom I did not yet know.
[Page 231]
My mother suffered a great deal in her life, but she sustained us with great wisdom and maintained herself until Father returned from the war. My friends were always jealous of me that I had such a mother, progressive and wise, young in spirit, and a good friend. I loved my mother very much.
Our home was always open to everyone. It was always filled with male and female friends of all ages. All of them felt good there, for Mother also joined us, and my friends included her and took advice from her. Six children grew up in difficult conditions in our home, but they received a good education. They were trained to work with their hands, to perform good deeds, and to be involved with Zionism. Five of us were in the Hashomer Hatzair movement. One left, and our parents were also aligned with us. Despite the age difference between my parents, with Mother being 12 years younger, they always had exemplary good relations, without any disputes at all or raised voices. The children sometimes argued amongst themselves, as do all children.
The image and memory of Mother will remain in my heart until my last day.
My father of blessed memory
I do not know very much about the history of my father Shmuel. I did not know him at all until the end of the war, and even for some time after. I knew that there were nine children, and I thought that there were another one or two who died. The entire family lived together with our grandfather Moshe Aaron Boretcky. I do not recall Grandmother at all.
I got to know my father for the first time at the age of five or six. He served as a captain in the Russian Army throughout the entire wartime period. I had no sense of a father, and I always asked, What is 'father'? What does he look like? and other such questions. The family was reunited when he returned. I was six years old. From then, I remember him well. He was a handsome, tall, strong man, with a full head of hair. He was intelligent and good hearted. Wartime stories never stopped, especially on Sabbaths, festivals, and long winter nights when the family would sit around the table. Our parents told us a great deal about their tribulations, and everything connected with the wars.
My father had visited many countries and his stories sprang out as from an overflowing fountain.
Before I made aliya to Israel I hoped that my brothers would follow together with my parents. However, destiny was cruel, and everybody was annihilated without a memorial. They were not even buried like humans.
Their memory will always be blessed and preserved forever.

Translated by Jerrold Landau
A Jew of Maytchet fell ill with smallpox, was hospitalized, and died. This was during the First World War. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, the Germans ordered that he be buried in the closest cemetery, which happened to be a Christian cemetery. My father of blessed memory did not make peace with this. At night, he snuck into the cemetery along with two other Jews, disinterred the body, and transferred it to a Jewish burial.
When he returned home toward morning, Mother said to him, You endangered your life!
Father responded, So what? Is it possible to leave a Jew buried in a Christian cemetery?
The good of the community always stood at the center of Father's concerns. Even though he was not a native of Maytchet, he was completely involved with the life of the town. He would serve as a prayer leader on the High Holidays. For a certain time, he served as the gabbai [trustee] of the Beis Midrash, and was a member of the Chevra Kadisha [burial society], charitable fund, and other communal bodies.
My father, Reb Chaim Leib Volinski of blessed memory was born around 1870 to his parents Moshe Naftali and Lea Freidel near the town of Drohiczyn in the Pulsia district of Poland. They maintained an agricultural farm there, which they had leased from a certain landowner. My father had 11 brothers and sisters. The entire family would gather together at every holiday, and they would not be short a tenth man for a minyan [prayer quorum].
My mother Kunia-Rivka of blessed memory was born in Slonim to her parents Reb David and Dvora Shochetowicz, who earned their livelihood from the liquor trade. They had one son and three daughters.
My parents lived in Maytchet from the time of their marriage in 1899. Our family had the nickname Zawadczyk, and everyone in the region knew who was meant by this nickname. This nickname was on account of the soda and carbonated water factory that my parents' owned. They also opened a tavern for soft drinks (Pywiarna) next to the factory. These two businesses were housed in the wooden building in which we lived, located in the center of town, part of which was purchased by my parents from the landowner of Kleshnyaki. Isser Bilas of blessed memory and Yakov Dvorzecky of blessed memory also lived in this house. Yaakov Dvorzecky ran his pharmacy out of his house.
The building in which we lived underwent many incarnations. During the First World War when Maytchet was conquered by the Germans, the building was expropriated by the conquerors and served as a hospital. Part
[Page 233]
of the family went to live with Hershel Shlovski and another part went to live with Moshe Shevchik until the hospital was transferred to a different location.
My father extinguished several fires that broke out in the building. One of the fires that he put out was when the house served as a hospital. From the house that we were living in at the time, he noticed smoke coming from he building. He hurried to the place and succeeded in controlling the fire. My father also saved the home of Isser Bilas from being consumed by fire. My father was accompanying the Kosterovitzki brothers, the sons of Yehoshua of the village of Sycewicze, who were studying in Maytchet, back home after they had supper with us. One the way, Father noticed fire bursting forth from the house of Isser Bilas. He hurried over and gained control over the fire, which had been caused by a maid who hung up the laundry over a kerosene lamp that had overturned.
As I had already noted, Father was very much occupied in communal affairs and in assisting those in need. In cases of attacks on Jewish girls, my father concerned himself with the daughters of two families who lived next to us. He entered their house, dressed the girls in boy's clothes, and hid them in our house.
We were eight children in the home: five sisters and three brothers: David, Golda, Zelig, Roza, Shifra, me, Leizer, and Lea Freidel.
We all studied - the boys in various Yeshivas and the girls in school. Our studies did not prevent us from helping our parents in their business. I recall that we would not take money from the residents of the town on the Sabbath. Every customer had a page in a ledger. We would put a note prepared from the outset in the appropriate page, listing the amount of the purchase.
Father's death in 1923 was a great blow to all of us. We slowly organized ourselves to continue with life, and we helped even more in running the business. As time went on, the children began to leave the house and establish their own families. My brother David married Teiba Rivka of the Avilev family of the town of Lubcz, and he set up his family there. My brother Zelig got married in Maytchet and helped Mother run the business. My sister Golda got married to Eliezer Polonski and lived near us. They had a sewing workshop and a leather store. My sister Roza married Yitzchak Meir Topoli and set up her home in Maytchet. Her husband served as a shochet, and would also perform shechita for the Jews of neighboring villages. Only my brother Eliezer and my sister Leah Freidel did not get married before the outbreak of the Second World War.
The world war sealed the fate of the Jews of Maytchet, including my family members who remained in Poland. Most of the family members perished in Maytchet. My brother David and his family perished in Lubcz, and my brother Eliezer perished in the Kozlochowa Camp.
Of the entire family, only my sister Shifra and I survived. I made aliya to the Land in 1932 as a tourist with the first exhibition of the Orient Fair[1] that took place in Tel Aviv in those
[Page 234]
days. I married Moshe Kleinshtov, and we have three sons and a daughter, as well as grandsons and granddaughters. My sister Shifra married Yosef Lozovski while still in Maytchet. They made aliya to the Land in 1933 with their baby girl. Their aliya was possible because her husband was a well-to-do tradesman, and the British were only issuing aliya permits at that time to those who had means. They settled in Rishon Letzion, and have two daughters and a son, grandsons and granddaughters.
Our hearts ache over the loss of our most dear ones. May their memories be a blessing.

The son of Shimon Yitzchak the Magid who would travel through various towns received his nickname Munia Zushke's on account of his mother Zushke who travel through villages for her fowl business in order to feed her nine children. The father was a native of Zhetl and the mother a native of Maytchet, where they established their home on the Street of the Cemetery, and where Munia and the other children were born.
In 1928, he escaped from the Polish Priziv (draft) and moved to Argentina with his future wife, Feigel of the Boshlovitz family of Slonim. They got married in Argentina and established a family. He manufactures mattresses and is successful in his business. He has a married son and daughter.
The Landsmanschaft of Maytcheters in Argentina consists of 65 families, 35 of whom are in Buenos Aires. They gather together annually to memorialize the martyrs of Maytchet, as well as whenever a Maytcheter comes from Israel to visit his family. Almost all of the Maytcheters in Argentina are Zionists with their hearts in Israel, and saddened by the tribulations of Israel. There was a great awakening during the Six day War. They voluntarily donated large sums of money. They will certainly rejoice with the joy of Israel once peace is established.
On the other hand, the youth, that is the Maytcheters who were born here, are somewhat distant from Judaism, and the parents relate to the situation with great worry and doubts about their future with respect to Israel, and with respect to the preserving the memory of Maytchet in their hearts. However, what the mind does not do perhaps time will do, and one must not despair of a miracle during this period when so many miracles took place in Israel.
Maytchet natives in Argentina greatly appreciate the holy task of perpetuating the town and its martyrs though publishing a Memorial Book, in order to thwart the aims of the enemy who wished to wipe out the name and memory of the Jewish towns from beneath the heavens. Now it will be proven before the entire world that The eternity of Israel will not deceive[1]!

I myself was a resident of Dworzec (Dvorets), but I have memories of my youth from Maytchet, where I studied a trade and got to know many dear Jewish families. I especially see a duty to express true gratitude to my aunt and uncle Gedalia and Nechama Yatvicky. This was during the 1920s, and I was about 14 years old at the time, when I came to Maytchet to study the sewing trade with Leizer Polonski (the son-in-law of Zawadcki). I stayed at the home of my Uncle Gedalia.
Incidentally, it is worthwhile to mention the work conditions that pervaded during those days, when no professional organization existed in the town, and every person did what was right in his eyes. During the first year, I worked as an apprentice without pay. During the second year, I began to receive a salary of 250 zloty (50 dollars) a year. The workday extended from early morning until after the Maariv service, and even later[1] in the winter. Others who worked in this trade aside from Polonski included Noach Goldshtein the brother of Rabbi Elchanan Goldshtein, Nachum the Shteper [stitcher] and others.
Uncle Gedalia was a Torah oriented, observant Jew who earned his livelihood honestly. After a hard day of work in his household implements store, he would run to the Beis Midrash to teach a class in Mishna between Mincha and Maariv to the congregation of worshippers. Aside from the commandments between man and G-d that he fulfilled with his entire soul and means, he was also diligent with the interpersonal commandments, and was therefore beloved and accepted in the eyes of G-d and man. In 1935, he was taken hurriedly to Warsaw for an urgent operation by the well-known physician Dr. Soloveiczyk, but he died there and is buried in the cemetery of Praga.
I will now note some incidents that typify those fateful days. When the Germans invaded Poland in September 1939, I was serving as a Polish soldier in Warsaw. As part of the war effort, we took up defense positions behind the monuments of the Praga Cemetery. When dawn broke after the nighttime activities, to my great surprise, I noticed that I was standing next to the gravestone of my uncle. I showed this to my platoon commander, and he found this astonishing. As is known, the defense operations did not last long, and I was taken prisoner by the Germans. I was freed from prison two months later, after the Polish-German agreement[2].
Aunt Nechama was a woman of valor who helped in the business and performed acts of charity and kindness in the life of her husband. She continued with the household implements store after she was widowed. Her home stood on a hill in the town next to the home of her brother Yisrael Belski (Sara's) the baker. When the Germans entered
[Page 237]
Maytchet in 1941, the family of Liba Margolin was forced to leave their house and live with Nechama Yatvicky.
During the aktion in Maytchet, they all hid in the cellar of the house, the entrance to which was well hidden for a long time. However, the residents of the cellar were eventually exposed by one of the gentiles. They were taken to the communal grave in Chwojnik to be murdered.

First of all, I recall my paternal grandparents very well. My grandfather Dov Ber Lozovsky of blessed memory was an educated, honorable Hassidic Jew. He worked as a potter and earned his livelihood from the work of his hands, as was the custom of Maytchet Jews for generations. He also had the generous character traits with which the Jews of the towns excelled in those days. I recall the day of his death, which took place during the time of the First World War. He returned from the synagogue in a merry mood on Purim after hearing the reading of the Megilla. On his way back, he went to his son's house, drank a LeChaim in honor of the holiday, and returned home healthy and hale. A few hours later, they came to Father to inform him of his death. I also recall Grandmother who was very old at the time of her death.
My father Reb Joshua Aharon of blessed memory studied at Yeshiva until 25. Only after filling himself with Talmud and decisors of Jewish law, to the point where he became known as an expert scholar, did he marry 14-year-old Chana of the Skolnikovitz family. They had ten children, of whom they raised four brothers and three sisters[1]. Aside from me, one brother, Meir Lizovski, made aliya to the Land after the war. The rest of the brothers and sisters perished in the Holocaust, may G-d avenge their blood.
My father of blessed memory had a splendid countenance with a flowing beard. He got along well with people, and walked uprightly with G-d and man. He sent his sons to Yeshivas and raised them with Torah and tradition, in accordance with the custom of his fathers. He was a building contractor and a manufacturer of tar, charcoal and bricks. His sons also took part in the business and helped him develop it, even though they were working in their own right.
Due to his flourishing business, he was well off, so he merited two tables - Torah and business. He built a large house, as was fitting for his status. He also knew how to benefit his fellowman from his fortune, his strength, and his voice. As a contractor, he helped build the Chorev School, he fixed up and renovated the synagogue, and performed other such important activities in the realm of religion. He acted benevolently with his fellow by offering assistance to anyone in need. It goes without saying that he made sure to never sit down for a Sabbath meal unless there was a guest eating at the table. Finally, he excelled as a fine prayer leader with a sweet voice that was enjoyed by the congregation.
His wife Chana, that is my mother of blessed memory, died at the end of the first World War. He remained a widower as long as he still had daughters at home. He married a second wife after the daughters got married.
[Page 239]
The writer of these lines was his primary assistant in his many business endeavors. He also built himself a large home and planned to dwell in peace, as is the custom of Jewish men. However, the relative quiet before the great storm that was about to shake the foundations of Diaspora Jewry awakened him to thought and action. One day in 1933, I decided that I could no longer sit upon a quaking mountain. I arose, liquidated my house and business, and made aliya to the Land of Israel where I built my permanent house in Rishon Letzion.
After a short time, my father and his wife came to me, and lived in my house for two years. In 1937, Father desired to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, where he earned his livelihood from delivering Torah classes to the congregation of worshippers and those who studied in the Beis Midrash. He died in Jerusalem at the old age of 89, and is buried on the Mount of Olives. His wife lived a long time after him.
May his soul be bound in the bonds of eternal life.

I left Maytchet as a young child, but I had a large family who remained in Maytchet. My parents were born in Maytchet, and also my two grandfathers and two grandmothers lived in Maytchet. A large part of the rest of our family was also born in Maytchet. They are buried in the Maytchet Cemetery.
My grandfather Meyerim Lubetcky was born in the town of Turcz. He married a Maytchet girl named Doba. They remained in Maytchet and there they lived out their years. They had six daughters and two sons. One of his sons was my father Yitzchack Akivah Lubetcky, may his memory be for a blessing.
My grandfather Meyrim Lubetcky's occupation was leasing land from landowners of the area. Later in his life he abandoned this. Since my grandfather was a great scholar and very wise Jew, he served as an emissary for collecting money for Yeshivas. At the same time he became interested in medicine. He studied medical passages from the Talmud and Maimonides. He wrote prescriptions in Latin and also Yiddish. Everything in the name of Heaven. He considered this to be a great mitzvah to write prescriptions for healing the people, mainly for poor people. Both Jews and gentiles would come to my grandfather to ask advice. They even turned to him as an arbitrator for a variety of disputes. When he was out of the country as a fundraiser, people would wait until he returned so he could arbitrate for them.
My grandfather Meyrim was an uncle of the renowned Yeshiva Master [Rosh-Yeshiva] in Grodno, Shimon Shkop.
My other grandfather was Itzchak Boretcky and my grandmother was Sarah Rachel. They were born in Maytchet. They were the parents of my mother Yachne Rivka. My grandfather Itzchak was a brother of Moshe Aaron Boretcky and they each had a mill.
[Page 241]
The two mills were built by their father Meyrim Boretcky and he gave them to his two sons.
My parents Yitzchak Akivah and Yachne Rivke immigrated to America. We were three children -- me, my brother Eliezer Shmuel and our sister Sarah Rachel (Sylvia). Unfortunately, my parents and sister died in America.
I left behind a large family in Maytchet. From my mother's side there was the Boretcky family and the family of Hershl Novomiski the mohel. His wife Nechama Devorah, peace be upon her, was a sister to my mother. On my father's side were his sisters Sivia and Chianke. Sivia was the wife of Chackel Israelvitz and the other sister Chianke was married to Isser Zusman. All had a large extended families.
I am writing what I remember about my family in Maytchet for the Yizkor book; the physical beauty of the area and the good people that lived there. It is important that future generations know their origins and who their ancestors were.

As I come to describe my family in Maytchet, I must start out by describing the earlier period of my family. In truth, I was not born in Maytchet. My family only began living there in 1923, after the death of my father Reb Mordechai Margolin of blessed memory.
My grandfather Reb Yaakov Yosef Margolin was a native of the town of Zamiechow in Russia, where he served as the town shochet. He and his wife Chasia, may she rest in peace, established their household in that town, where three sons and two daughters were born.
The eldest son, Moshe of blessed memory, set up his home in Russia like his father. He had three sons and three daughters. One son and one daughter, Yaakov Margolin may G-d avenge his blood and Dvosha Shinovski may G-d avenge her blood moved to Poland during the Bolshevik Revolution. Their final place of residence was Baranovichi. They perished
[Page 243]
in the Holocaust without leaving any survivors. The rest of the sons and daughters of Moshe of blessed memory live in Russia today, and have large families.
The second son was my father Reb Mordechai of blessed memory. During his youth, he served in the Russian Army during the Russo-Japan War (1905). Then he moved to the town of Starobin near Slutsk, where he married my mother Sheina, the daughter of the shochet of Starobin, Reb Gedalyahu Kadoshin of blessed memory.
Eventually, my grandfather Reb Yaakov Yosef Margolin of blessed memory died, and my grandmother Chasia remained a widow. To my great sorrow, my second grandmother, the wife of my grandfather Reb Gedlayhau also died after some time. After that, my grandfather Reb Gedalyahu married my grandmother Chasia, and they both continued to live in Starobin.
After the death of my grandfather Reb Gedalyahu of blessed memory, my father Reb Mordechai continued on as the shochet of the town until the year 5681 (1921). My parents gave birth to three sons and three daughters: Yaakov, Avraham, Abba, Dvosha, Sara, and me.
In 1921, the gentiles perpetrated a pogrom against the Jews of Starobin, killing many victims. Some of the Jews of the town succeeded in escaping the town and saving themselves from the pogrom. My family was among then. Then, we moved to Poland and first settled in the town of Horodziej, where my father of blessed memory also served as a shochet.
The third son of my grandfather Reb Yaakov Yosef of blessed memory was Aryeh Leib Margolin. He set up his family in Maytchet, and married Badana, the daughter of Reb Asher Orzechovski of blessed memory. They had five sons and two daughters. Most of them perished in the Holocaust, with the exception of a son and a daughter who survived the Holocaust and live today in Israel.
The first daughter of my grandfather was Rivka, who married Reb Yaakov Sadovski of blessed memory. They lived in Baranovichi and had three sons and two daughters. My uncle Reb Yaakov Sadovski died in 1941, whereas his daughter Chasha died in her childhood in 1920 due to an accident that took place in their house. Two of his sons live today in the Land. The first one, Moredechai, made aliya in 1936, and the second one, Kalman, survived the Holocaust. The rest of the family perished in the Holocaust, except for one of the grandchildren, the son of the second daughter Chiene, who succeeded in surviving and lives today in the Soviet Union.
The second daughter of my grandfather Reb Yaakov Yosef was Sara. She set up her family in Jekaterynoslaw, Russia. To our great sorrow, we do not know any further information about her.
As has been mentioned, our family moved to Horodziej after the pogrom in Starobin. Two years later, my father became sick with a malignant illness, and was taken to Warsaw where he died on 17 Av, 5683 (1923). After the death of my father of blessed memory, our family decided to move from Horodziej to Maytchet, where my uncle Aryeh Leib Margolin, the brother of my father of blessed memory, lived.
[Page 244]
In Maytchet, we opened an inn for vacationers. At first, we lived in the home of Yaakov Zlotnick, which was next to the house of Yitzchak Liberman. We ran the inn in that house. Later, we moved to a larger home in Podelzan. The inn was run primarily by my mother and my sisters Dvosha and Sara. I only helped them, because I was still studying in Baranovichi at that time. After a few years, I went to a Hachshara Kibbutz, and I made aliya in 1936. My brothers Avraham and Abba worked in leasing dairy enterprises from the landowners of the area, and they manufactured Swiss cheese. My eldest brother Yaakov remained in Baranovichi, married there, and opened a store that sold paints and chemicals. He was killed during the first bombardment of Baranovichi in 1939, and his family perished in the Holocaust.
Slowly but surely, our home in Maytchet emptied. My brother Avraham got married. He first lived in Baranovichi and moved to Horodziej after a few years, where he perished along with his family. My brother Abba died in Maytchet in 1939 after contracting pneumonia due to the cheese manufacturing that he was engaged in. My sister Dvosha got married in lived in Baranovichi. During the Holocaust, she moved with her entire family to Maytchet, where they perished along with the rest of the family. My sister Sara married Yehoshua Rabinovitch in Maytchet. She continued to run the inn together with Mother until the murderers got the upper hand, and killed them along with the rest of the Jews of Maytchet.
May their memories be a blessing.

In prior discussions here, we've talked about what many dread most as a potential MS treatment – catheterization.
Like many of the medical tools science has developed to help us cope with our symptoms. However, we tend to wait until far past the point they are needed to use them. At that point we wonder why we waited so bleeding long! For example, we put off a cane until we hardly can get out of the house anymore, then find that by using one we can actually walk around the block again. We scoff at the idea of a scooter, then realize how many kid's soccer games we've missed or how many fun adventures we've said "no" to only after we've acquiesced.
Using a catheter is another one of "those" topics
How many UTIs does it take, how many fevers spiking and setting off pseudo-exacerbations will we endure before we realize that this simple and painless procedure can help us lead our lives more fully and comfortably?
My recent surgery experience afforded me (let's just call it…) the opportunity to experience the step beyond self-cathing; The Foley catheter (shown below). Unlike the self-catheter, a Foley catheter is implanted and left in for a while and hooked up to the ever-present "bag."
Post operatively scooting out of bed for a quick pee wasn't an easy option (nor is it still) therefore this little device is a Godsend. For folks who have bladders that just don't work anymore or for people who spend more of their time in a chair, catheters keeps us active.
A small balloon at the inserted end of the catheter tube keeps the apparatus in place so one needn't worry about it slipping out. Mine was only in for a couple of days and I was able to urinate on my own within a few hours. My uncle, who had a pretty invasive prostate surgery a few years back, had a few weeks before his bladder was able to hold; making adult diapers mandatory.
I felt like I was taking one for the "MS team" by experiencing the whole thing. Though I was under general anesthesia when they put the catheter in, I was fully awake for the removal.
The removal process went like this. First, the balloon is deflated using a syringe. Yes, one feels very uncomfortable when seeing a syringe "down there" but there is no needle. Then, a deep breath, a quick 3 count and out it's pulled.
The sensation is best described as urinating something hot and solid for a few moments as the catheter makes its way out of the urinary tract. I should note that a few minutes of mild nausea followed the catheter removal from seeing the whole thing happen.
We hope we don't get to the point where a Foley catheter is needed; we hope that self cathing is something we can avoid. If, however, a time comes when I need such devices, I'm a little forewarned about the whole experience.
Thought it was my job to share that experience with you.
Anyone else want to talk about catheters; self or Foley? I know many of our readers would like to know but might be a little embarrassed to ask.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

CDC\u2019s Global Health Strategy outlines how CDC will leverage its core strengths to advance four overarching global health goals in the areas of Health Impact, Health Security, Health Capacity, and Organizational Capacity.\n
The vision of CDC\u2019s global health strategy is a world where people live healthier, safer, and longer lives. The mission is to protect and improve health globally through science, policy, partnership and evidence-based public health action.The strategy has four goals:\n
Goal 1. Health Impact: Improve the health and well-being of people around the world\n

Goal 3. Health Capacity: Build country public health capacity\n
Goal 4. Organizational Capacity: Maximize potential of CDC\u2019s Global Programs to achieve impact\n
CDC\u2019s Public Health Framework for Health Systems Strengthening\n
For 60 years, CDC has provided domestic and global public health leadership and has formed partnerships all over the world to achieve public health goals and meet emerging health challenges. The foundation for CDC\u2019s global health engagement are technical rigor and expertise, special partnerships, an emphasis on capacity building and health impact from programs, and a commitment to science and evidence. CDC\u2019s greatest assets are its staff in the United States and around the world and the trust and credibility they have developed with partners and the public.\n
CDC\u2019s global health strategy is built around CDC\u2019s core strengths.\n
Broadly, CDC has unique expertise in health systems strengthening, such as disease surveillance and health information systems (including monitoring and evaluation), public health laboratory capacity, workforce development, operational research, and public health actions and programs. In addition, CDC has deep technical expertise in infectious and non-communicable disease (NCD)-specific areas, implementation and valuation of specific public health programs, and provision of technical assistance to ministries of health (MOHs), other public health institutions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).\n

Vermont's largest city but with less than 50,000 residents, Burlington blends the best of country living and civilization. It is home to great farm-to-table restaurants and breweries, a vibrant Farmer's Market, the Flynn Center for the Arts, and the Church Street Marketplace for shopping. UVM and Middlebury College are also hubs of cultural activity. The UVM Medical Center is known as one of the best in the country and Burlington schools are excellent.
Burlington International Airport offers northern New England the ease of convenience and direct flights to many major cities. Easy to get in and out of, BTV is just ten minutes from Lake Champlain, an hour from five world-class mountain resorts, and only one hour and forty five minutes from Montreal.
From Lake Champlain to the Green Mountains, the greater Burlington region offers every imaginable activity for outdoor enthusiasts. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy outstanding boating on Shelburne Bay, hiking on Mt. Philo or Snake Mountain, and biking country roads in the summer, and of course world-class skiing at Stowe and Sugarbush in the winter.

I have been playing around with LEDs just as we did in Picademy. We didn't use any resistors, but I have read other tutorials and sites which suggest you should definitely do this to prevent damage to your Pi/blowing up the LEDs.
I am using a breadboard to connect LEDs to the GPIO pins on the Pi.
1. What resistors should I be using?
2. How come we didn't use resistors in Picademy and it still worked - is it just because we only did it for a really short time, or is it not necessary for this particular case for some reason?
3. Does the resistor connect from the numbered row in the breadboard to the negative column?
Many thanks
