"Hollywood, meet Azerbaijan"
19 July 2014 [09:45] -
Washington Jewish Week newspaper has issued an article by Executive Director of the Washington D.C.-based Karabakh Foundation Diana Cohen Altman headlined "Hollywood, meet Azerbaijan".
The article reads: "The true story of Jewish Azerbaijan past and present has Hollywood written all over it. Two ancient cultures meet on the same land.
One is Muslim and one is Jewish. But here is the twist: The land is overflowing with natural riches, from fruits to "black gold" (oil), and the cultures work and live harmoniously. Not only that, but they forge new, vital forms of culture, government and commerce.
And, pay attention, Hollywood: Almost no one outside of Azerbaijan has heard this story. Those who have are amazed and want to know more.
What is today the Republic of Azerbaijan, bordered by Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Iran and Armenia, has been home to Jews since late antiquity. Many of these early Jewish settlers came from the Persian Empire and settled in the north of what is today Azerbaijan, in an area called Guba.
Over centuries, this community of "Mountain Jews," as this community fondly and colorfully became known, experienced, with varying comfort, the khanates – Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and even Jewish (the famously converted Khazar empire) – that ruled the area. Jewish practices, beliefs and traditions held the Jews together even during low points.
Shared family lives and business relationships, particularly in agriculture and trade, kept the neighboring Jewish and Muslim towns functioning as close neighbors. Jews also participated as traders of textiles and other goods on the famed Silk Road.
European Jewish immigrants worked as engineers, musicians, business owners, lawyers and more alongside their Muslim neighbors during the 19th- and 20th-century oil booms. Jews even played an important part along with Muslims and Christians in forming and running the Azerbaijani Democratic Republic (1918-20) – the first parliamentary republic in the Muslim world.
During the communist period, including the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic years, the outlawing of personal property ownership and of religious observance brought hardship and tragedy to many. Whereas Azerbaijani Jews escaped the Nazi death machine, many, including at least five rabbis, fell to communist purges.
Some Muslim Azerbaijanis relate family stories about saving lives of Jewish fellow prisoners by teaching them Muslim prayers so as to pass as Muslim. After breaking away from the Soviet Union in 1991, Azerbaijan found quick – even before the West – recognition by Turkey and then by Israel.
The Azerbaijan-Israel strategic partnership today plays a vital role in the security of Azerbaijan and of Israel.
A venerated and beloved figure in Azerbaijan is a young Mountain Jew named Albert Agarunov. Agarunov fought valiantly in the battle for Azerbaijan's sovereign territory in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict that continues to plague the country today.
Agarunov died at the hands of Armenian forces during the 1992 occupation of the town of Shusha, a center of Azerbaijani culture. Azerbaijani authorities buried Agarunov in Martyrs' Lane in Baku and posthumously awarded him the title of National Hero of Azerbaijan, the country's highest honor. Surely Hollywood would accord Agarunov top consideration for a Jewish Azerbaijani lead.
But other Jewish Azerbaijanis too have a place on the big screen: a movie about colorful Baku-born Nobel-Prize-winning (1962) physicist Lev Landau is already in the making.
When pressed about Azerbaijan's unique culture, many Azerbaijanis cite Ali and Nino, the romantic novel based in Baku from 1918 to 1920.
The book is believed to have been authored by 20th-century writer/historian Lev Nussinbaum, a man of mixed Jewish-Russian background from Baku who adopted a Muslim pen-name, Kurban Said, and assumed Azerbaijani identity.
In this Baku, East and West; Muslim, Christian and Jew; and ancient and modern appear in a seemingly impossible yet complementary weave of elements."

Extinction of Behavior exhibited by a ToddlerMore Related Discussions

I am an educational consultant who used to be an educational psychologist--and still am! As I read your post, I had two simultaneous thoughts. One was that it made a certain kind of sense to change the rule and have the child wear the helmet all day if he bangs his head, because that might be a sufficient deterrent. However, it also feels punitive to me, and possibly embarrassing for the child as well as socially distancing. I realize I may be asking the obvious, but have you tried the opposite approach of giving the child rewards for going increasingly longer time periods with banging his head? Is he too young (developmentally) to respond to this approach? Finally, do you notice any of what I call "dandelion behaviors" (ones that pop up when you mow others down) as you extinguish the head banging? I'm happy to respond again and try to be more helpful.

Americans wary after 'fiscal cliff' deal: poll
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Last week's "fiscal cliff" deal did little to ease fears among Americans that Washington could harm the U.S. economy or their personal finances in the months to come, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday.
The online poll found that President Barack Obama gets more credit than his Republican adversaries for the agreement, which canceled across-the-board tax increases and postponed broad spending cuts that could have pushed the economy back into recession.
But the deal did little to instill confidence about the nation's economic direction as Republicans and Democrats prepare for more showdowns over taxes and spending in the coming months, the poll found.
"If you had to score it, the Democrats and especially Obama, came out better, but there's a lot of uncertainty," said Ipsos pollster Clifford Young. "There's no clear winner from this."
More than two-thirds of those surveyed said they were concerned that their taxes could rise, or their benefits could shrink, while 81 percent said they were worried that the economy could take another downturn.
More than three in four said they were concerned that Congress would not be able to avert deep spending cuts to military and domestic programs that were postponed for two months in the fiscal-cliff deal, the poll found.
And 70 percent said they were concerned that the United States could default on its debt. Congress will have to raise its $16.4 trillion debt ceiling by early March to avoid a first-ever default, which would upend global financial markets.
Obama and Republican leaders initially hoped to resolve all of these issues in a "grand bargain" that would have combined tax increases and benefit cuts to put the country's finances on a sustainable course, but in the end they had to settle on a smaller deal that left many issues unresolved.
Still, the deal did allow Obama to fulfill a central campaign promise by raising taxes on top earners - in this case, individuals making more than $400,000 a year and couples earning more than $450,000. About 33 percent of those polled said Obama or his fellow Democrats deserved the most credit for the deal.
Only 11 percent of those surveyed said Republicans should get credit for the agreement. The plan passed with support from both parties, but many Republicans voted against it on the grounds that it should have included spending cuts.
The deal was not exactly a clear triumph for Obama's Democrats, however: 28 percent of those surveyed said they were not sure which side should get more credit, and another 22 percent said both parties were responsible.
"It's very clear people are still uncertain," Young said. "They're worried that until there's a final deal, are we going to go through this again?" (Editing by David Lindsey; Editing by David Brunnstrom)

WASILLA, ALASKA – SEPTEMBER 2011: At just over 100,000 square feet, the largest public space in the city of Wasilla, Alaska is the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center. It is capable of handling 5,000 visitors, which is a common occurrence at graduations, rallies, and, of course, hockey & indoor football contests. It opened in 2004, but its original sound reinforcement system was so ineffective that the facility had to rent a sound system for every event of consequence. Even then, intelligibility was marginal. The facility recently upgraded to Danley loudspeakers and subwoofers, which, by virtue of their exceptionally well-defined pattern control, minimize the reflections that had doomed all previous solutions to deliver crisp, intelligible sound.
"The original system consisted of four mid-grade horns in the middle of the room supplemented by a collection of 70-volt ceiling speakers," explained Phil Ballard, principal of Sound Decisions, the firm that designed and installed the new system in Wasilla. "The main problem was the room's acoustics. The reverb time is between four and six seconds. With the old system, intelligibility was nonexistent. Literally, it was impossible to understand anything that was being said." When intelligibility was critical, such as at graduations, a rented system provided marginal intelligibility. "If you were paying close attention, you would be able to hear your kid's name when it was called," laughed Ballard. Clearly, something needed to be done.
"Apart from the prohibitively expensive solution of treating the entire room, the only option was a loudspeaker system that would focus its energy on the main floor and the bleachers… and nothing else," he continued. "Danley's exclusive technologies maintain pattern control several octaves below conventional designs. I've been especially impressed by the new Danley Genesis Horn GH-60. It does exactly what you tell it to do… and nothing else." Ballard installed three Danley Genesis Horn GH-60s in a central cluster above the main floor. Their patterns mate in such a way that the entire floor is covered, and little else.
For the bleachers, Ballard used four Danley SM-96s arrayed in a line extending the length of the floor. Two Danley DBH-218 subwoofers flown just behind the cluster of GH-60s provide the low-end support that communicates, "this is a full-blooded sound system." To facilitate the many uses of the room, Ballard gave the staff the option of using the floor system, the bleacher system, or both. Just four Danley DSLA 6.5k amplifiers power the entire system, with routing logic and speaker conditioning provided by a Danley DSLP48 processor.
"The new system is completely unlike the old system," said Ballard. "For example, the facility recently hosted a teachers' meeting. There were 2,200 teachers there for talks and breakout sessions. Despite the room's reverb, everyone could understand every word that was said, without straining. I received a lot of compliments." At 61°34'21″N, the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center is currently the most northerly Danley installation on the planet. However, a proposed Danley installation in Fairbanks may make that a short-lived distinction.
ABOUT DANLEY SOUND LABS Danley Sound Labs is the exclusive home of Tom Danley, one of the most innovative loudspeaker designers in the industry today and recognized worldwide as a pioneer for "outside the box" thinking in professional audio technology. www.danleysoundlabs.com

A MAN who sublet a property he was renting from a relative to seven people has been fined nearly £3,500.
Mohammed Usman, 61, was prosecuted after Oxford City Council found that he had sublet the house he rented from his nephew in St Martin's Road to seven other people.
By so doing, he had turned the property into an house in multiple occupation (HMO) without having applied for an HMO licence. The house was also in a poor state of disrepair.
The council's HMO enforcement team visited the property in October 2013, following information that the house was overcrowded. The team also found that eight people lived there and Mr Usman had been collecting rent for his own benefit without the owner's knowledge.
He was convicted of failing to licence an HMO and failing to comply with the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006.
Five breaches of those regulations were found, including a missing front panel on the bath and the underside of the stairs not providing adequate fire separation.
Oxford City Council said Usman pleaded guilty to the charges when he appeared at Oxford Magistrates' Court on August 18.
The court imposed a fine of £2,000 and ordered him to pay £1,478 costs.

Championship Sunday focus: Fulham
May 8, 2014, 3:00 PM EDT
Story so far… It sure didn't start well, did it? Blame that darn Michael Jackson statue if you like, but after winning their opener at Sunderland, the Cottagers only snagged one point from their next five matches. Unfortunately, that was a sign of struggle to come. They went winless in September, November and February.
And their entire season may be an argument against the influence of managers, or for the key nature of a brilliant boss (though Felix Magath clearly provided an improved record). Check the records of their three (!!!) men in charge this season:
Martin Jol: 3W-1D-9L
Rene Meulensteen: 3W-1D-9L
Felix Magath: 3W-2D-6L
RELATED: Head here for all things Championship Sunday
Who do they play and where can I watch it: Fulham finishes this PL stint with a home London derby against Crystal Palace. Watch the game at 10am ET on E! or live online via NBC Sports Live Extra.
Form guide: Cardiff fell to Chelsea 4-1 at the Emirates in mid-October.
March 30 – vs. Everton, L 1-3
April 5 – at Aston Villa, W 2-1
April 12 – vs. Norwich City, W 1-0
April 19 – at Tottenham Hotspur, L 3-1
April 26 – vs. Hull City, D 2-2
May 3 – at Stoke City, L 1-4
What's at stake: The pride of its last Premier League London derby for at least a year. With all due respect to Crystal Palace and Tony Pulis, who had their fun at Liverpool's expense on Monday, it'd be nice to see the Cottagers go out with a win.
When the final whistle blows: Fulham will be down to the Championship, hoping to yo-yo right back up but with a lot of personnel moves to make before that endeavor begins.

Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown had a miserable 2014 season, regressing significantly on the offensive side while continuing to make frequent fundamental mistakes in left field. It was shocking, as Brown was an All-Star in 2013 and appeared to have finally lived up to the potential he showed as a prospect coming up through the Phillies' system. 220 more words

184.108.40.206Soil-cement base layer
Hi friends,
Does anybody know about one relationship between fine sandy soil-cement compressive strength and the elastic modulus? I need a simple formula to compute the soil-cement base layer modulus because I am interesting in modelling an already constructed two layers pavement structure who is performing longitudinal top-down cracking along wheel paths, 90 days it was finished. I suspect it was used to much cement, the base became too stiff and the sub base and clayey soil are too soft. The idea I have is compute the tension stresses the base layer is performing on top using Bisar 3 program, and compare with some allowable stress.
Any help or idea coming from your experience will be welcome.
Pablo del Aguila
I'm not sure what your end goal is with the analysis, but as I'm not a modelling man myself I would have taken a different approach: Would it not be easier to do a simple DCP or in-situ soil test to determine the actual capacities (CBR's) of the subbase and subgrade? If the cracking coincides with deformation/ differential settlement or movement you probably have a substandard substructure - specially if it only happened after 90 days. By comparing actual to design capacities you should be able to prove the point. I'm not sure that you could define the top layer as being "too stiff", as the envelopes for the E-values in the models take into account that eventual cracking causes the cemtised base to act in a more "granular" way after crack initiation?
Anton van Staden
Why the top-down cracking appears? Because of the tensile stresses. So, all I want to do is to compute those stresses. Everything you say is done, but I want to go from the inference to the direct factor causing the failure for establishing a relationship between modular ratio and performance, following the Dormon and Metcalf theory. So, at this time all I need is a reliable formula in order to compute the fine sandy soil-cement base elastic modulus using compressive strength because is the only data I have.
Many thanks for your answer.
Pablo del Aguila
Just signed up so this response is probably to late for Pablo but might help others.
The key to having a crack free soil stabilized subbase and/or a full base for direct finish paving in all soil types (clay, silt, sand or any combination) is indeed to have a high tensile strength that can overcome the brittleness of straight cement on soil stabilization. For the past 2 years I've had incredible results with a process and specialty additive that we developed here in Western Canada. Our process and soil cement mix designs achieve high compressive strength for load bearing plus increase tensile strength by up to 1800% in sand for example.
If anyone's interested post a request and I'll provide more details.

Automotive manufacturers currently have to assume costly manufacturing errors in their balance sheet: namely a rainy day piggy bank for the inevitable recalls and litigation costs. Predictive diagnostics can quickly change that scenario by finding problems in vehicles before they start killing people and ringing up the jury awards. The question is, will big data inform automakers that taking the litigation risk may actually be cheaper than fixing the problems? And if so, which path will automakers choose to take?
The fragmentation of the Android ecosystem not only challenges enterprises confronting BYOD and app developers creating apps that work across all Android devices, but also handset manufacturers trying to retain customers.
Close to 80 percent of manufacturers plan to develop mobile apps in 2013, but current adoption rates for corporate app stores are less than 20 percent among manufacturers, according to research firm IDC.

Definition of chinook
- an unseasonably and sudden, constant warm wind that blows from the west to the east through the cascade mountain passes (late winter to early spring). It usually lasts for the better part of a day and will not only melt all the snow but dry up all the water too. Familiar to anyone living in the foothills of the eastern cascade mountains in Washington State and Oregon.
A chinook blew through yesterday and dried everything up!

The Jewish Problem - From anti-Judaism to anti-Semitism
11/30/2012 17:09
Political antisemitism in the United States, 1873-1932
"[In] 1647, the Portuguese authorities arrested Isaac de Castro for teaching Jewish rites and customs in Portuguese controlled Brazil and sent him back to Portugal where [he was] sentenced to death and burned him at the stake."
"The Jews who have arrived would nearly all like to remain here, but learning that they (with their customary usury and deceitful trading with Christians)… [we ask] that the deceitful race -- such hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ -- be not allowed to further infect and trouble this new colony…"
"when a Jew rose to national prominence, he would always be open to attacks based upon his Judaism." Mordecai Noah, a diplomat to Tunis from 1813-15, was recalled from his post having been denounced as an "enemy of Christ." And, "Uriah Phillips Levy, then the only Jewish officer in the U. S. Navy, was dropped from the officer list in 1855… after six courts martial, two dismissals, and the killing of one opponent in a duel, all over slurs against his Judaism."
"Populists strengthened their cause by using religious metaphors to link money with a Jewish conspiracy [as did the mainline parties]. Thus in 1896 Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, speaking in an idiom Protestant Fundamentalists were fully conversant with, could easily intersperse biblical imagery with economic necessity when he thundered, `You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.'' The antisemitism evoked by the metaphor of the crucifixion was powerful and appealed to rural Protestants who possessed a similar religious and cultural heritage with other Americans in the South and the West," (Leonard Dinnerstein, Antisemitism in America, p.49-50).
"We are not attacking a race, we are attacking greed and avarice, which know neither race nor religion. I do not know of any class of our people who, by reason of their history, can better sympathize with the struggling masses in this campaign than can the Hebrew race," from The First Battle, (p.581).
"found that only thirty-nine percent of Americans felt that Jews should be treated like other people. Fifty-three percent believed that "Jews are different and should be restricted" and ten percent believed that Jews should be deported."
"David Wyman, author of The Abandonment of the Jews, concluded that 15 percent of the American people would actually have "supported" an anti-Jewish pogrom of some sort, and another 20-25 percent would have been "sympathetic" to such a pogrom. In the scholar''s own words, "As much as 35-40 percent of the population was prepared to approve an anti-Jewish campaign, some 30 percent would have stood up against it, and the rest would have remained indifferent." We are talking here about the American people in the closing months of a war against the Nazis, in which many Americans were killed."

Hi: 15° Lo:12°
By Ian Dipple Friday 01 August 2014 Updated: 01/08 09:23
WHEN bathroom fitter Leigh Smith decided he wanted to do something different for charity he decided on a really hair-brained idea - a lizard haircut.
But the 33-year-old's new look has been so popular he has already raised nearly £200 as part of Macmillan Cancer Support's Shave or Style campaign.
Leigh, from Dixon Close, Enfield, chose the charity after losing members of the family and the dad of a close friend to cancer.
The scaley design was the first lizard hairdresser Amy Fisher had tackled but she was delighted with the finished product - even though it needed Leigh to sit still for two
hours at Headless Cross barbers The Groom Room.
"It's totally different to the normal cuts that I do and it was quite fun," Amy said. "It was a one-off though - there will certainly be no more lizards."
Visit www.shaveorstyle.org.uk to donate to Leigh online.

Anonymous hacks Queen Mary University for its role in MoD-funded research
Sizeable haul of data, including students' personal details, stolen by hacktivist collective
Kevin Anderson
Kevin Anderson is studying an MSc Investigative Journalism course at the University of Strathclyde
Monday 27 January 2014
A British university has been the latest target of an attack by the notorious online hacking collective "Anonymous".
According to the group, a considerable amount of data has been stolen from the servers of Queen Mary University of London on 19 January - including students' personal details - for undertaking what it describes as "invasive" research funded by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Operation PhDPounds (#OpPhdPounds) was launched only hours after the Guardian revealed earlier this month that the MoD's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) pays six-figure sums to support individual PhD students' cyberspace-related research at a number of institutions.
The group said in a statement that the attack had been made in response to QMUL's interest in researching "ways technology can be used to exert influence".
The group suggested that a sizable haul of data, including a map of the college's IT network, and students' personal details had been taken – with a small sample of the data leaked at the same time by way of proof.
The university attracted interest from the so-called "hacktivist" group for its research projects, which range from "cross-cultural attitudes and the shaping of online behaviour in crisis situations" to "the analysis of crowd behaviour through ad-hoc mobile sensors".
Anonymous added: "Queen Mary's [sic] and the other universities should be much more interested in protecting their own data, and the data of their paying students, than in analyzing the data of others."
The Daily Dot, which first broke the news, claims to have spoken to a member of the hacktivist group. The source said: "[QMUL] is woefully underprepared for the kind of attention working with the Ministry of Defence can cause," adding "If we are on their systems, anyone else could be as well."
A spokesperson from QMUL said: "We are investigating the claims. We have informed the police."

I'm off to Paris in early October and wanted to bring my cereal (pre-packed) with me. Sounds silly I know, but for health reasons I need a very high fiber brand that I must eat every day and afraid I won't find what I need when I arrive. Is it ok to bring pre-packaged foods from the USA into France? Any info is appreciated!

You will have no problem bringing packaged food into France. When I was living there, whenever someone would be visiting from the United States, I would ask them to bring my favourite cereals and junk food.
Report Abuse
Yes, you can bring your cereal with you, although most grocery stores have aisles of all kinds of cereals these days.
I've had friends and guests bring me gifts of all kinds of foods from pecans to maple syrup to homemade jams. I used to know a woman in Brussels who used to bring back brisket from the States so she could make her own corned beef....
Report Abuse
Hi, if you tell me what it is (all bran?)I can have a look next time I go to the supermarket if I don't already know what you want.
welcome to France!
Report Abuse
This was 6 years ago, but I distinctly remember seeing Raisin Bran and Shredded Wheat in a grocery store in Avignon (plus a bunch of sugar-loaded stuff just like we have in the USA).
Report Abuse
We've also seen the British version of all-bran, Wheetabix, in some French supermarkets.
Report Abuse
Wheetabix, big or small pieces, honey or chocolate.

Bringing food in should be fine, especially if it is unopened. We brought a some energy bars and other snacks with us to France and it was no problem.
If you are packing light, you may want to think of skipping it, since a box of cereal can be pretty bulky. We saw boxes of cereal in the regular supermarkets in Paris. And if you have trouble finding your brand, there are several markets located in the 7th that cater to American expats. One of them is called
The Real McCoy
194 rue Grenelle, 75007 Paris
Tel: 33 (1) 45 56 98 82
It is located near rue Cler just northeast of the Champs du Mars (Metro stop: Ecole Militaire).
As for fiber, have you thought about bringing a fiber supplement? Metamucil or FiberOne. Then you could throw caution to the wind and eat as many baguettes and pain au chocolates as you want!
Report Abuse
A hundred years ago people ate fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, baked goods and all else that shops sold. Many lived to a ripe old age, and all had the pleasure of finding new pleasures as they ate. You say that for health reasons you need a very high fibre brand of cereal. I hope that the people who make that cereal make it from natural foods (not from sawdust, fibrous though it is !). Certainly you should take the helpful advice you have had so far. But can you take a packet of your usual cereal to your physician's office, say where you are going, and to what you are allergic, and ask for advice on what natural, food to buy and eat while away from home, in the nineteenth-century style ?
Ben Haines, London

I imagine they would have plenty of high-fiber cereal choices in France, but sometimes people only want what they know and like. They seem to have plenty of muesli cereals there, for example.

Two menorahs, Mandela, and Iran at the White House
Obama with Menorah.
(photo credit:Michael Wilner)
WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama had three unique tasks to juggle on Thursday night, and only at the White House were they obviously interlinked.Around 8 o'clock, Obama wished his guests for the evening a happy holiday season— and reassured them that, at the end of yet another year in the long saga over Iran's nuclear program, his administration still stands committed to the security of the Jewish state.It was the second of two Hanukkah receptions in the building's grand foyer that night. Since the first, the president's role model, Nelson Mandela, had died."Together with our Israeli friends, we're determined to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Obama said. "And we're testing whether it's possible through diplomacy to achieve that goal, understanding that we have to remain vigilant."Late in November, the US and Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany successfully negotiated an interim deal with Iran that effectively halts its nuclear program for six months. Within that period, world powers hope to codify a solution to the Iranian nuclear crisis "once and for all," the president told the predominantly Jewish crowd."Key parts of the program will be rolled back, even though the toughest of our sanctions remain in place," the president continued. "And that's good for the world and that's good for Israel."The White House justified two celebrations this year to accommodate over one thousand guests, including members of Congress, three Supreme Court justices, donors and family friends, television stars and Israeli and Jewish leaders."Over the coming months," he said, "we're going to continue our diplomacy with the goal of achieving a comprehensive solution that deals with the threat of Iran's nuclear weapons once and for all."News of Mandela's death broke suddenly between the two receptions, challenging the president to tie two seemingly foreign events to one another.The president gave a brief eulogy from the press briefing room before returning to the Oval Office."We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again," he said. "So it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love; to never discount the difference that one person can make; to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice."At the second ceremony, Obama said that at the heart of Mandela's legacy is the moral imperative to fight for freedom— a core tenet of the story of Hanukkah, as well."The idea that every single human being ought to be free and that oppression can end and justice can prevail," Obama said, "That's what Nelson Mandela taught us, and it's that same spirit that brings us here tonight."The menorah used in the first ceremony which occurred before sundown in the holiday's final hours featured branches fashioned to emulate the Statue of Liberty. The piece was designed by a Holocaust survivor in 1986, the centennial of the original statue's construction in New York.The second menorah, from the nineteenth century, was held in a Jewish prayer hall in the Czech Republic until the Nazis torched the building during World War II. The menorah survived, and now takes residence in the home of the US ambassador to Prague.Israel's new ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, attended the second ceremony. He turned in formal paperwork to the president earlier this week, officially becoming Israel's envoy to the US.The president will light the national Christmas Tree on Friday night.
