With forced retirement perhaps on hand, Rabbi Riskin goes out to look for a new job…Video of the Day
Rabbi Riskin said he hopes the Rabbinate will climb down from their tree, in an interview he gave on Galei Yisrael Radio on Tuesday, as reported by Kipa.
The extension of Rabbi Riskin's tenure as Chief Rabbi of the town of Efrat is under evaluation by the Israeli Rabbinate because he has reached the retirement age of 75. Only, it appears that the consideration as to whether to extend the Rabbi's term is based on Rabbi Riskin's legal/halachic positions, which places him in direct opposition to the Chareidi/Shas controlled Rabbinate.
Rabbi Riskin said, "I don't want to believe that because of the halachic issue of conversion, which is such an important issue in the State of Israel today, that they [the Rabbinate] would want to terminate my services in the Rabbinate, but so it appears."
Rabbi Riskin made it clear that he respects the Rabbinate and believes it serves an important role, but he thinks "the Rabbinate should accept opinions that are important, halachic pluralism, when of course it is within the halachic consensus. I don't do anything that is outside the halachic consensus to open the gates of conversion…"
Rabbi Riskin continued, "I support the establishment and the institution of the Rabbinate, I believe it is important, but it must be a Rabbinate that talks to all of the nation of Israel, and halachically it must be prepared to accept halachic opinions that are not exactly Ultra-Orthodox views."
"I hope… they'll come down from their tree. I honestly don't understand them… if this is true." he finished off.Jewish Press News Briefs

The TZOHAR Rabbinical Organization released the following statement in response to a report that forces in the Chief Rabbinate are working to have Efrat Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin deposed from his position:
Jewish Press News Briefs
"Above any effort to depose Rabbi Riskin flies a clear red flag of revenge directed against his positions and halachic decisions.
Rabbi Riskin, who has led the community of Efrat with love and dedication and is beloved by so many, is a true symbol of spiritual leadership. And instead of exalting his accomplishments, figures in the Rabbanut are choosing to force the Rabbi into early retirement because of their political considerations or apparently so that they can appoint insiders in his place.
Rabbi Riskin has served on the TZOHAR Rabbinical Council and has been a visionary leader in advancing the cause of halachic conversion and other issues critical to Israel's Jewish identity.
TZOHAR will do everything possible to combat the hostility emerging from charedi leaders who seem intent on exerting control over Israel's halachic and rabbinic discourse."

Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, is being used as the primary figure to promote the 2014 International Christian Embassy, Jerusalem (ICEJ) Christian Feast of the Tabernacles. JewishIsrael has posted the one minute promo video.
While Rabbi Riskin speaks of the universal message of Isaiah, ICEJ's Feast homepage banner and text as well as the explanation of this year's theme, "Aim for Restoration", is hardly universal. Rather, it is an exclusive message, heavily focused on jesus, christian scripture and church history.
This is not the first time Rabbi Riskin has been featured in a video presentation which has raised eyebrows and caused controversy…more
[JewishIsrael has sent this report to Rabbi Riskin with the hope that he will once again try and clarify his position and consider asking the ICEJ to remove the promotion, which appears to give Rabbi Riskin's sanction to the worship of Jesus in Jerusalem.]

Note To Readers
When we published Rabbi Moshe Faskowitz's open letter of resignation from the Rabbinical Council of America in our issue of Dec. 23, we were unaware that he is a cousin of Rabbi Mordecai Tendler's wife. While it has no bearing on the particulars of the Tendler-RCA controversy, or on the questions raised by the RCA's response to recent decisions by the Jerusalem Bet Din of the Israeli Chief Rabbinate, Rabbi Faskowitz should have disclosed his relationship to Rabbi Tendler. In a telephone conversation this week with The Jewish Press, Rabbi Faskowitz acknowledged that he was remiss in not having mentioned the relationship in his open letter, though he pointed out that he had mentioned it in the second paragraph of a private letter he e-mailed the RCA on June 30, 2005 – a letter that detailed his concerns with the way the organization had pursued its investigation of the charges leveled against Rabbi Tendler and with what he viewed as its disrespectful reaction to the ruling of the Jerusalem Bet Din. Rabbi Faskowitz said his resignation from the RCA is "all about the [Jerusalem] Bet Din. If my reason for resigning had anything to do with my relation to Rabbi Tendler, I would have resigned when the RCA expelled him."

Fascinating Reading
Re Jason Maoz's interview with Abigail Pogrebin, author ofStars of David ("Not such 'Stars of David,' " Dec. 30):
I read the book and found it fascinating because, to her credit – sometimes overtly and sometimes implicitly – the author actually asks these people about the fact that for the vast majority of them the Jewish story, the saga of their families if you will, dies with them. And a lot of them go into very convoluted excuses. I thought Beverly Sills and Ruth Ginsburg were particularly pathetic.
Coincidentally, a friend of mine had lent me "Stars of David" a couple of weeks ago, and I heartily second Mr. Maoz's positive assessment of the book. As for World Jewish Congress honcho Edgar Bronfman's denigrating the idea that God gave the Torah to the Jews, and his denying that the God of Israel is his father or his King – can anyone imagine the leader of a Catholic organization talking about Catholicism in such dismissive terms? He'd be forced out of his position in an instant. With us Jews, however, someone can be a total am haaretz and apikorus and still be hailed as a "Jewish leader" – providing that he's a rich man like Bronfman.
In taking ADL National Director Abraham Foxman to task for his assessment of Steven Spielberg's "Munich," you refer to the movie as "a presentation fraught with far more danger than Mel Gibson's recent casting of the Jewish people as responsible for the death of Jesus, which drew much public ire in the Jewish community, stoked in greatest measure by…" Mr. Foxman.
Two years ago, you predicted in an editorial that the release of Mr. Gibson's "Passion" movie "will ignite the kind of virulent anti-Semitism that provided the foundation for pogroms throughout history and the Holocaust little more than a half a century ago."
Apparently, with the realization that the fears over "Passion" were unfounded, you are taking on a new bogeyman, predicting that "the consequences of Mr. Spielberg's theme taking hold among American Jewry and being picked up by policy makers in Washington would be catastrophic." In your view, "Munich" is scarier than "Passion" because many Christians already held Jews responsible for the death of Jesus and they "hardly needed Gibson's encouragement." You are thus suggesting the existence of novelty in the moral message conveyed by Mr. Spielberg's film.
But does "Munich," in fact, offer any chidushim? Doesn't everybody "know" already that the "Israel-Palestinian" conflict is based on a misunderstanding between two long-suffering peoples with equal historical and religious claims to one small piece of land and why can't we just all get along? And isn't this "knowledge" already reflected in longstanding American governmental policy to pressure Israel to "share" this piece of land with the Palestinians regardless of the security consequences?
Like "Passion," "Munich" is a movie – and just that. It will keep millions of people entertained for a couple of hours. It will be the topic of discussion at some cocktail parties and office water coolers. It will reinforce the views of those who agree with the views conveyed by the movie, and will offend those who do not (including those who deny Israel's right to even exist). Mr. Spielberg will laugh all the way to the bank once again and might even win another Oscar. But by making bold predictions about the societal consequences of this movie, you are once again crying "wolf" – or "Foxman."
Rabbi J. Rosenblatt (Letters, Dec. 30) accuses me of being "out of my league" in discussing the purpose of Talmud Torah and refers to my front-page essay ("A 'New' Understanding of Talmud Torah," Dec. 16) as "intellectually corrupt." My conclusion that learning Torah merely "for the sake of learning" is not a Jewish concept he ascribes to "either egregious ignorance of the primary sources or willful distortion of them."
In the interests of brevity and basic dignity I will not respond to his insults, only to the substance of his argument. I feel no need to defend my right to study the Torah and form significant conclusions despite being a non-gadol – something Rabbi Rosenblatt is clearly offended by. Indeed, I wonder how he feels permitted to challenge me on intellectual grounds if he does not consider himself to be a gadol.
When all the smoke is blown away, the extent of Rabbi Rosenblatt's substantive response is a vague reference to Nefesh Hachaim. Without going into detail or quoting a single passage, he claims that R' Chaim of Volozhin supports "a concept eerily similar" to the conception of learninglishma that I claim doesn't exist.
In Section 1, Chapter 21 Rabbi Chaim writes "And this is the Torah of Man: when he is involved in Torah lishma – to observe and fulfill all that is written in it – he purifies his body from head to foot." Clearly, Rabbi Chaim defines learninglishma as not random, aimless "learning for the sake of learning," but learning with a clear and practical purpose: to observe and fulfill.
In Section 4, Chapter 3 he further explains, based on the Rosh in Nedarim referenced by Rabbi Rosenblatt, that learning lishma is "to know, to understand, and to increase acquisition and pilpul." Unless one defines pilpul as irrelevant theorizing, Rabbi Chaim's approach only supports my article.
It should also be noted that the vast majority of Rabbi Chaim's remarks about Talmud Torah relate to its mystical benefits. For one thing, therefore, much of what he writes is complementary to my article, not directly related to it. For another thing, he merely refers to a different sort of benefit or goal of learning Torah. Nowhere does he, or any classic Torah authority, advocate the sort of aimless, esoteric, non-practical learning that is prevalent today.
If Rabbi Rosenblatt is troubled by the fact that I, rather than any "gedolim," have noted the dubious foundation of the modern kollel approach, perhaps he should take it up with them.
In his letter of Dec. 30, Rabbi Riskin admits to having been "taken aback" by my criticism (Letters, Dec. 16) that he committed a "major error" regarding his translation. Actually, my criticism was that he had committed two major errors.
In his letter, Rabbi Riskin deals with only one of his mistakes. Specifically, he turns his attention to the Latin etymology of the adjective naive – nativus, "which means natural, unaffected candor and artless, actuated…by truth."
On that basis he assures the reader that it would be okay to describe the Patriarch Jacob as a "naive" tent dweller. Rabbi Riskin's mistake is that he relies on etymology without considering modern usage. (English has changed since the Roman Empire.) In modern standard English, the adjective naive is also associated with a lack of learning, experience, sophistication. It might be used to describe an individual who is devoid of wisdom and good judgment or someone who is gullible and easily duped. (One might be tempted to describe Esau in such a fashion, unjustly – certainly not Jacob. It would not fit the biblical context.) Even according to Rabbi Riskin's etymological reference, it would still be highly imprecise to select naive as a translation oftam. Quoting an unabridged dictionary, Rabbi Riskin cites "artless" as a worthy synonym. In modern American usage, artless is defined as lacking skill, crude, lacking knowledge. Is Rabbi Riskin still so sure about naive as an accurate translation of tam when referring to the Patriarch Jacob? It is true that naive can connote qualities which are not so negative – in the sense of being natural and unaffected by guile; however, given the negative connotations cited above, there are far better English equivalents which would more accurately translate the Hebrewtam. (For example: wholehearted, which Rabbi Riskin used in his Dec. 2 column.) I disagree with Rabbi Riskin's interpretation of Malbim. Isaac did not think that his son Jacob was out of touch. It was a judgment call. As a parent, Isaac believed that Jacob should devote his life exclusively to spiritual matters as a Torah scholar. (That does not mean that he thought Jacob was naive or out of touch.) Isaac was aware of Esau's "problems." However, he understood that Esau had great potential. Rebecca did not wish to confront Isaac about such an issue. She understood that her actions would be vindicated as indicated by the biblical context.

This exchange reminds me of the Italian saying Traduttore e traditore – roughly translated as "The translator is a traitor." I do not wish to imply that Rabbi Riskin is a traitor. I am not speaking politically or theologically. The point is that it is simply very difficult to translate
from one language into another language, given the divergent cultures and vocabularies pertaining to the languages under discussion.
Reader J. Schwartz's letter (Dec. 16) about Orthodox Jews andaliyah is full of distortions and errors from beginning to end.
1. No one ever claimed that the State of Israel as presently run is the geula – it is "the first flowering of the geula."
2. Zionist rabbonim do not speak out against the state – only against the present government and, in fact, are careful to differentiate.
3. If Reader Schwartz is displeased with secularism in Israel he should make aliyah, become a citizen and at least vote for change.
4. Terrorism also affects America; in fact, many Jews were murdered in the World Trade Center attack. In addition many Jews in America are victims of violent crimes – far more than in Israel.
5. Cuts in government funding mainly affect those who do not work. This situation also exists in America.
6. Who says living here means living in "dire conditions"? This is the sin of the miraglim. Just as in America, here there are rich, poor and middle class people.
7. Living in Israel is more than a great mitzvah. This is the only land in which a Jew can fulfill himself both individually and nationally.
Every Jew should be planning aliyah – or at the very least not discouraging others from doing so.
Evolution Is Anti-Science
Reader David Fass (Letters, Dec. 30) begins his attack on my views on evolution by saying: "Virtually every point made by Rabbi Eidensohn in his letter of December 9 reflects significant misunderstandings about the science that he is attempting to criticize. However, it's not the errors in Rabbi Eidensohn's letter that I find most troubling. What disturbs me more is the smug belief, evidently shared by many in the yeshiva world, that the working scientist is on average less intelligent than the typical potted plant."
There follow nine paragraphs, but I was unable to find (a) a direct quote of anything I said and (b) why I was wrong.
All physicists today believe in the Anthropic Principle – that the universe was designed for people. Is that objectionable? Science has proven it.
Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, the most prominent of the evolutionists, clearly stated that evolution is not a natural process but an accident. If you believe in accidents, you are not talking about science. Scientists had four theories about the origin of the moon until people actually went there, brought back rocks, and saw that all the theories were wrong. The latest theory? It was an accident.
The problem with evolution is that it is anti-science. That was the purpose of my letter. Does science believe that a tiny dot can emerge from nothing? It does not. Does science believe that a tiny dot containing the entire universe can expand? Einstein's theory of Black Holes denies that such a dot can expand. Does science believe that a primal dot turned into a fiery plasma of simple material that became incredibly complex quarks and genes – all by accident?
Science teaches entropy, meaning that a closed system cannot gain in complexity, only decline. The simple plasma could thus not become complex atoms and genes.
Mr. Fass concludes by writing, "The image of the 'idiot scientist' conjured up in Rabbi Eidensohn's letter may be comforting to some, but it's ultimately just crude escapism."
Why not quote where in my letter I supposedly insulted scientists, or science? I didn't insult science; to the contrary, I feel that modern science encourages our belief.
David Fass's letter is, based on my experience, very typical of people who defend evolution. They shed little light on the subject, yet engage in attacks on those with dissenting views.
You'd think that if the viability of evolution were, in his words, "discussed in many popular science books and on about 300,000 websites," he could refute at least one point made by Rabbi Eidensohn. Instead of offering refutations, Mr. Fass writes with an air of disdain for Rabbi Eidensohn, rabbis in general, yeshivas, Monsey and the "yiddishe kup." What an earth does all this have to do with the shortcomings and fallacies of an outdated "scientific" theory?
It's very encouraging to hear from Mr. Fass that "scientists are generally highly educated and intelligent people" and that "their methods of investigation and analysis have proved staggeringly effective."
The problem is that scientists can also be staggeringly dishonest when it come to furthering their careers, prestige or bank accounts.
One case in point (and there are others), reported by newspapers around the world just last month: Dr. Hwang Woo Suk of Seoul National University faked 9 out of 11 stem cell research experiments. His phony results were being reported around the globe as scientific breakthroughs. Obviously, being educated is one thing; having integrity is a different story.
If Rabbi Eidensohn had questioned internal combustion or the properties of electricity when he's surrounded by cars and electrical appliances, I could understand Mr. Fass's irritation. But questioning the viability of a far-fetched theory like evolution is not all that out of line. I don't live in Monsey, but my guess is that chickens aren't turning into monkeys – even in Monsey.
(Editor's Note: Mr. Greenberger is the author of "Human Intelligence Gone Ape" (NCSY) available free at EvolutionDead.com.)
There was just one problem with David Fass's contention that Rabbi Eidensohn (and by extension the entire frum community) looks askance at science for failing to accept evolution. Evolution is not science. Never was, is not now, and never will be.
Evolution was introduced as a theory, and like most other theories it should have long ago been discarded. But it has one important element on its side: Evolution is atheism, and trumped up by Satan's "useful idiots" in the academic community this lie continues to be foisted on lemmings who lack the sophistication and backbone to lash out in disgust.
I am far from alone in my conviction that evolution is a pseudo-religion. The most recent edition of the Economist magazine featured on its cover the cliched progression of a hunched-over ape eventually morphing into a comely lass. In the accompanying article, evolution was described as one of the three great secular faiths (Marxism and Freudianism being the other two) of the 19th century. (The author of the article, it should be noted, is one of the creed's staunchest supporters.)
That supposedly Orthodox Jews fall over themselves trying to inject evolution into the story of creation does not impress legitimate truth seekers. Troubled by science? I don't think so. But evolution? That's a whole different story.
Hey, I can be open-minded. If in another 600 billion years man evolves into a centipede, I'll retract this letter. You have my word on it.
Dubious Hypothesis
There are many Young Earth Creationists who believe in the Torah's chronology of a 6,000 year old universe, a number of top scientists among them. Even though most of them are non-Jews, Rav Avigdor Miller, zt"l, spoke highly of them and was very critical of Orthodox Jewish scientists who accept evolution, despite the Torah of Nature showing no evidence whatsoever of millions of years – let alone billions – that have been invented solely to support the vapid belief that the theory of evolution requires vast eons to even begin to operate.
It is remarkable how the solid scientific evidence of a young universe still has not registered on some Orthodox didacts. Evidence such as the rate of decrease of the earth and sun's magnetic fields, the rate of decrease in the size of the solar disc, the high residual warmth of the moon and mere half-inch of dust on its surface (which amazed the Apollo astronauts who had been told to expect being swamped), the decrease in the speed of light, the paucity of helium and micro-meteoric dust in the atmosphere, the rate of mineral deposition into the oceans, the fallacious premises of radiometric dating, the still "unwrapped" state of the arms of the great spiral galaxies, the thickness of Saturn's rings, the continued existence of short-term comets, human population statistics, the complete dearth of any human record or artifact older than 6,000 years, polystrate fossils, the non-organic theory for the origin of oil, dendochronolgy (no tree older than 5,100 years can be found), pleochroic haloes etc., are all indicative of an astounding recency of creation.
In view of all this, it is perplexing how some Orthodox Jewish writers are still wedded to the discredited idea of evolution over billions of years. As the late journalist Malcolm Muggeridge observed, "In the future evolution will be laughed at as one of the greatest jokes of history. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious a hypothesis could have been accepted with the incredible credulity that it has!"
Wednesday evening – just hours after The Jewish Press hit the newsstands – I received an e-mail from Rabbi Avraham Binyomin Spira's father, who had an office in the World Trade Center complex. Thursday I spoke with Rabbi Avraham Binyomin Spira himself and confirmed that he is the owner of the sefer Tehillim. We are arranging a time convenient to both Rabbi Spira and the firefighter for the return of the sefer.
Thank you for publishing my letter and helping to perform the mitzvah of hashavat aveidah.

Sounds Of Silence
Your riposte to the Forward was right on the mark. Would that the Agudah be heard on this as well. Frankly, I am amazed that with all of the letters and articles the Agudah has placed in the Forward and the Jewish Week over the years, there has been complete silence from
that organization in response to those publications' shameful distortions of the essence and significance of Chanukah. If the Agudah sent in letters or articles taking issue with those distortions, shame on those papers for not publishing them. But if the Agudah did nothing, all the greater is the shame on a once proud organization.
I strongly believe that this episode raises serious questions regarding the Agudah's capacity to confront the attempts to eliminate religious imperatives from Judaism or achieve equivalence between Orthodox and non-Orthodox movements.

Heartless Scam
It was with great interest that I read the articles by Rachel Weiss (no relation) titled "To believe or Not to Believe" (Jewish Press, Dec. 12) and the follow-up "Believe It or Not" (Jan.2).
A few months ago on a late summer Friday afternoon, my husband and children waited for me in our car while I ran up to visit a cousin at NYU Medical Center. A man came up to my husband and said he needed to get to New Jersey for Shabbos and that a cab had just left
with all his possessions. Feeling the urgency of this man's predicament, my husband helped him flag down a taxi. The man inquired about the fare to his destination and told my husband that it would cost $90. My husband had $70, and my daughter chipped in the other $20. This man took our phone number and promised to repay. Of-course we never heard from him. Our stories are too similar. This sounds like one man using his trick over and over again.
What a zechus it would be for Rachel Weiss and The Jewish Press if some good will come out of these articles. Readers ought to be made aware of this story-teller who roams the city streets and peddles his bogus pleas. He should be stopped in his tracks.

Exercise In Futility?
By what right do the editors of The Jewish Press arrogate to themselves the role of Defenders of the Faith? It may be useful to confront challenges to the primacy of mitzvot in Judaism, but it seems entirely misplaced when you confront a respected rabbi like Shlomo Riskin over an interpretation he developed from the text of the Bible.
Furthermore, your criticism of Rabbi Riskin over such a minor matter was an exercise in futility. Those who are followers of his surely were not swayed by your arguments, while the rest of us were either amused or could not have cared less.

Wish We'd Said It
Although I generally agree with your criticism of Rabbi Riskin, I would point out two things you missed.
In challenging Rabbi Riskin's assertion that Yitzchak Avinu was reacting out of a sense of weakness when he decided to choose Esav over Yaakov, you correctly point to Avimelech's prostrating himself before Yitzchak. You should also have noted that just prior to that, G-d spoke to Yitzchak and told him that He would be with him in all things.
In addition, you let pass Rabbi Riskin's comment that if he were (as you said he was) "presumptuous" in his analysis, then "so were all of the commentators of the past." I would have thought this astonishing display of hubris on his part deserved some comment from you.

Hey, We Were Merely Speculating
Whoever writes your editorials better get a grip. You really can't believe that Libya threw in the nuclear towel as part of an Arab conspiracy to pressure Israel on the nuclear weapons issue. Or do you? It's time you abandoned the self-centeredness that, as another reader recently pointed out in a different context, leads many Jews to believe that the world revolves around them.

No Alternative To Day Schools
We subscribe to U.S. News and World Report, which is about the only weekly news magazine with a favorable viewpoint toward Israel. But I was angered by John Leo's column in the January 4 issue.
He asserts that it is not harmful to a Jewish child's sense of well-being to be forced to sing Christmas carols in school, as long as there are a couple of Chanukah songs to go with them.
When I was a child in the 1950's, we were forced to sing those songs in public school. I knew there was something wrong with that, and when I told my mother, she said I should just move my lips and pretend I was singing along. That was the only "solution" back then.
But 28 years ago, when my daughter was in public-school kindergarten, she started bringing home Christmas artwork from school. I protested to her teacher, and she then started bringing home artwork with Jewish themes. But when I went to the kindergarten concert, I was shocked and appalled to hear my daughter singing about Jesus and the "virgin mother and child." And it didn't help that the concert included two requisite Chanukah songs.
Thereupon I made my choice. I pulled her out of that school and placed her in a Jewish day school. Today she is a rabbi's wife. Needless to say, her children are all receiving an authentic Torah education.
Thank G-d that now, unlike when I was growing up, we have so many Jewish day schools available. Parents, if you care anything about your children's Judaism, enroll them in a Jewish day school. Furthermore, all Jews should be sure that a good portion of their tzedakah goes to these schools.

More On Howard Adelson
Beth Gilinsky Spiro's Dec. 12 obituary tribute to Professor Howard Adelson was simply peerless. Her evaluation of this good man's life and work is right on the mark. His love of learning, his activism and his ability to defend the interests of the Jewish people was beyond
I met Professor Adelson in Eilat in 1970 while on a small tour of the Sinai area south of Taba. I was able to speak with him at some length in a local cafe. I was a liberal back then, but this did not stop either of us from conversing. I did not believe that a conservative could have been a professor at CCNY (today I would be right to think so, but for different reasons).
A few months later I saw him on television speaking against "open enrollment" at CCNY and the other CUNY colleges. I rememeber well his saying, "There hasn't been a brilliant class at the city colleges since the 1940's, and now there won't be a very smart one," or words to that effect. What arrogance, I thought back then; what a brilliant analysis, I think today!
During the years that followed I saw his name on many a petition to the powers that be defending the Jewish people and Israel against our enemies. Your tribute covered the ground very well.
I am fortunate to have met him; you, Ms. Gilinsky Spiro, are more fortunate to have known him.

Chanukah In Kuwait
Last month I celebrated my third Chanukah away from my family with the U.S. Army. I was deployed in 1994 for Operation Vigilant Warrior. I was deployed in 2002 for Operation Enduring Freedom. And I was deployed in 2003 for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
We had a wonderful Chanukah party in the chapel at Camp Doha, Kuwait. We celebrated the eighth night of Chanukah and the Sabbath in a very moving service. It was truly remarkable that so many Jewish soldiers and civilians came from military camps in the area to attend our simple service. Ours was a mixed bunch; from California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington, and other locales, representing the Army, Air Force, and even the American Embassy. As for supplies, we were blessed with many Chanukah cards, dreidels, and chocolate gelt. Before our service ended, we made certain to add many prayers for our fallen comrades, and for those on patrol this evening keeping our compound safe.
Our meal was meager but appreciated by all. The latkes did not arrive in time, so we ate semi-stale donuts left over from earlier in the day. My Aunt Esther, Uncle Seymour and Cousin Farrell had sent a variety of nuts, fruits and nosh, so we had some kosher products for our table.
In the end, each individual left with a smile. We came together in the desert to remember a military victory for religious freedom more than 2,500 years ago. And we remembered that the same battle rages on all around us. So the work continues.

Wrong To Downplay Impact Of Secular Zionists
Bezalel Fixler's "Who Is A True Zionist?" (Jewish Press, Jan. 2) was inspiring to read. The
ancient yearning of the Jew for Eretz Yisrael is, these days, all too often taken for granted.
However, while those who yearned for a return to Zion are unquestionably "Zionists," the return to Zion in the last century and a half was the result of all those whom Mr. Fixler discounts: Herzl, Achad Ha'Am, Pinsker, Lilienblum, Nordau, Jabotinsky, et al.
The fact is, the frum establishment rebuffed or ignored, for one reason or another, all of those
Torah giants who before Herzl and company advocated a return to Zion en masse.
Take the case of Rav Akiva Yosef Schlesinger, who when he visited the then Szigeter Rebbe on his way to Israel was told not to go. The Szigeter assured him that there were positions in Hungary for such a young and vibrant talmid chacham. The Szigeter begged him to abandon his plans for making aliyah. When Schlesinger refused his offer, saying that he was in love with the land, the Szigeter circulated a directive to all who would listen that any aid given to Schlesinger in his pursuit of aliyah would be tantamount to support of idolatry.
Rav Kook left Israel in 1914 to attend a Kenessiah Gedolah of Agudat Yisrael. When he
pleaded with Agudah to reverse its hostile stance on Zionism, he was rebuffed and reviled. The records indicate that the Chofetz Chaim was shaken to the core over the attacks on a person such as Rav Kook.
In fact, the 1947 records of the United Nations Special Committee On Palestine (UNSCOP) indicate that Agudah testified against the idea of an independent Jewish state in Israel.
Now, there is no doubt in my mind that these Torah giants who opposed secular Zionism were, in Mr. Fixler's words, true Zionists. The only problem is that were it not for all those secular Zionists whom Fixler cites, thousands of marginal Jews would never have been inspired to make aliyah to pre-state Israel.
All that he says about Herzl is accurate save for one detail: The Uganda issue for Herzl, in
Herzl's own words, was a temporary solution, an overnight stay for streams of Russian displaced persons as a result of the ongoing waves of pogroms. Uganda – and nothing else – was offered to Herzl by the British. And so he jumped at it for a practical reason; namely, that the refugees needed a quiet place to run to. In fact, the British soon rescinded their offer.
The examples offered by Mr. Fixler of, in his words, true Zionism, are all correct and admirable. They do not, however, change the indisputable fact that the overwhelming number of frum Jews and their leadership were hostile to the secular Zionists and turned their backs on this movement. With the vacuum having been created, what is the point of trying to determine who was the first or the true Zionist?

Who Lived And Who Died
Herzl, Jabotinsky, and Nordau were the greatest Jewish leaders in our generation. Were it
not for Herzl, the existence of a Jewish state after two thousand years of exile would not have come about. It was the youth that followed Herzl and went to Eretz Yisrael to establish settlements, to cultivate the land and make it inhabitable for the thousands of Jews who came after them.
My late father was a chassid of the Rebbe of Czortkow. My father also was one of the organizers of the first Zionist congress in Basel in 1897. He knew Dr. Theodor Herzl and adored him. When Herzl's body was brought from my home town in Vienna for reburial in Jerusalem, my father, a Cohen, changed our name to Hacohen; the 'H' in Hebrew stands for Herzl – Herzl Cohen, Hacohen.
Jabotinsky, whom I had the privilege to know personally, was another of the great Zionist leaders in my generation. I was present in Vienna in 1935 at the first congress of the new Zionist organization Jabotinsky founded. He warned the Jews of Europe to leave for Eretz Yisrael immediately. He said the hour was five minutes to midnight and that if you don't liquidate the Diaspora, the Diaspora will liquidate you. He foresaw the Holocaust.
By contrast, many chassidic rebbes told their chassidim not to go to Eretz Yisrael because the
Zionist country was 'treif.' I mourn the loss of so many chassidim, so many friends of mine, so many venerable rabbis, who were misled by their rebbes and by the anti-Zionist Agudat Yisrael and perished with their families in the Holocaust.
Most of my friends who followed Herzl and Jabotinsky landed in Eretz Yisrael, some legally
and some not. They were the true Zionists.

A Matter Of Terminology
Although I agree with Mr. Fixler's basic thesis that "Zionism without a religious component is not real Zionism," I have reservations about the use of the term "Zionist" to refer to the rabbanim, chachamim, and other individuals and groups who made aliyah prior to the nineteenth century.
It is my conviction that historically referenced terms such as "Zionist" and "Zionism" have a
reality and validity all their own. As such, it should not be applied to acts of aliyah to Eretz Yisrael which were an expression of love of Zion or the fulfillment of the mitzvah of yishuv Eretz Yisrael before the advent of the Jewish nationalist movement called "Zionism."
One should not reference a historical phenomenon back to previous generations who had
no concept that their acts of aliyah would produce the mass migration of Jews to Eretz Yisrael. Even those that hoped for it did not plan for it in the manner that the Zionist movement would later undertake.
We have Medinat Yisrael today because Hashem blessed the Zionist movement. It is likewise true that our inalienable relationship to Eretz Yisrael is based on kedushat haaretz from the
Torah, as we learn from the very first Rashi, cited by Mr. Fixler in his comprehensive article.

Materialistic Malaise
In his op-ed article in the Dec. 26 issue of The Jewish Press, Rabbi Yehuda Levin did a masterful job of demonstrating that contemporary Hellenization, generally considered the province of halachically-challenged Judaism, has infiltrated the ranks of Orthodoxy ("Orthodox Hellenists, 5764").
Rabbi Levin cites as evidence the disinclination of ostensibly Orthodox politicians both here and in Israel to stand up to the pro-gay lobby as well as the royal treatment lavished by
certain Orthodox groups on politicians whose stated positions are antithetical to the Torah.
Rabbi Levin views these acts, along with the general apathy regarding them, as proof that
Orthodoxy has lost its moral compass. He is right, but it behooves us to understand how this has occurred.
The answer actually is rather simple. Modern-day Orthodoxy has not rejected the Torah, it has embraced materialism. In parshas Mikeitz, Yaakov Avinu sends his sons to Mitzrayim to purchase grain before their supplies would be depleted. Rashi explains that he wanted to avoid instilling enmity in his non-Jewish neighbors who had been profligate with their produce. In charging his sons, our Patriarch employed the expression "Lomo tisroe" – why do you make yourselves conspicuous" – and here he was speaking to all of his children throughout the millennia.
But this message is lost today in our society. We need look no further than the "edifice complex" that has gripped so many Orthodox communities, as the well off capriciously dismantle perfectly livable abodes to erect visual testimonies to their surfeit. Duly impressed, the neighbors follow suit, finances be damned; must keep up with the Schwartzes, you know.
But then comes the next big decision: Where to go for Pesach? The Catskills? Surely you jest.
Miami? Been there, done that. So it's Mexico or Europe or whatever exotic port of call is 'in' that year. Have no fear, chassidishe shechita and non-Gebrokts are here.
But it doesn't end there. Not by a long shot. No, we have midwinter cruises, summer vacations, weekend ski trips – all under the protective umbrella of kashrut but all at loggerheads with at least the spirit of Judaism.
So Rabbi Levin is correct. We have become Hellenists and we don't even know it. Certainly we pledge allegiance to the Torah – but it's mere lip service. Does the person who imports Italian marble for his kitchen anxiously await the coming of Moshiach? How many families stiff the yeshivas when it's time to pay tuition, yet drive their kids to school in late model autos yapping away on their high-tech cell phones? Given this atmosphere we can readily understand the lack of outrage when the Torah is slighted or defamed.
Is there an answer? I believe it's time we speak about olam haba (the world to come) and
return it to its once-prominent place in the spiritual lives of Torah Jews. Throughout the
centuries there was no need to impress upon Jewry its importance. As people lived in poverty, in fear of the next pogrom, it was the belief in a better world than this one that sustained them. It may be the only antidote available to the materialism that is steadily eating away at our spirituality.

In my Java application I want to output striked letters (like html tag do). Is there any way to do this using Unicode (combine )
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
No, this is not possible. While there is the concept of a stroke as diacritic, it's not available as a separate Unicode character, probably because the various letters that use a stroke diacritic do not place it at the same height or even angle. So the result would not resemble strikethrough markup anyway.
To output strikethrough text in Java, you need to use an output format that allows you to use explicit markup. If you have a Swing app, you're in luck as many Swing components support HTML. Otherwise it depends on what presentation technology you're using.
No. Unicode does not define a combining strikeout mark. Unicode's view is that this is the job of markup -- like HTML.
As said before, Unicode doesn't do that, but a lot of Swing components understand basic HTML tags.
You can use U+0336, the combining long stroke overlay, to accomplish this task.
For comparison, here is what U+0336 looks like compared to html's
One thing to note though: If you look carefully at the "m" in "combining" above, you will probably see a small gap in the strike, due to the way combining overlay marks work. For this reason you should still prefer using html or some other technology over U+0336 for this purpose, if you have that option.

Themba Hadebe, Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa — A substance found in Oscar Pistorius' bedroom was an "herbal remedy" and not banned, his defense lawyer said Wednesday, after police claimed they discovered two boxes of testosterone and needles in the Olympic athlete's house.
Police Detective Warrant Officer Hilton Botha claimed in Pistorius' bail hearing in a South African court that testosterone was found in his bedroom. Pistorius has been charged with premeditated murder in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Botha said police made the discovery in the double-amputee runner and multiple Paralympic champion's upscale Pretoria house but offered no further details or explanation. State prosecutor Gerrie Nel also had to correct Botha when he initially called the substance "steroids."
Pistorius' lawyer, Barry Roux, said on questioning the detective — who has 16 years' experience as a detective and 24 years with the police — that it was not a banned substance and that police were trying to give the discovery a "negative connotation."
"It is an herbal remedy," Roux said. "It is not a steroid and it is not a banned substance."
Police "take every piece of evidence and try to extract the most possibly negative connotation and present it to the court," senior defense lawyer Roux said. The debate over the substance added another dramatic twist to a case that has already gripped the world's attention since Steenkamp's killing at Pistorius' home last Thursday.
It was not immediately clear what the substance was.
Prosecutor Nel also had to clarify that police were not saying that Pistorius was using the substance, only that it was discovered along with the needles in his bedroom.
Pistorius said Tuesday in a written affidavit and read in court by Roux that he mistakenly killed model Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's Day when he fired shots into a locked toilet door thinking she was a dangerous intruder.
The prosecution claims Pistorius intended to kill the 29-year-old Steenkamp after they had a fight.
International Paralympic Committee spokesman Craig Spence told The Associated Press soon after the substance claims that Pistorius — the world's most famous disabled athlete — was drug tested twice in London last year by the IPC, on Aug. 25 and Sept. 8. Both test results were negative, Spence said.
The Aug. 25 test was an out-of-competition test, and the Sept. 8 one in-competition, a day before the end of the London Paralympics.

This recipe was great. Will be making it for my family this Thanksgiving. Thanks for sending this in. Butterburger
This was super easy to throw together. I loved the swiss cheese, so I added in some extra. Although I liked the french fried onion topping, I didn't like them baked into the casserole. Next time I'd use fresh chopped onions for withing the casserole. I think I'd add some cayenne or dry mustard next time as well. Thanx!

Lastly, I re-order the last half again, this time starting at 2, incrementing by 2. It is quite inconvenient when scanning many piles of double-sided paper.

PRINCETON, NJ-Chambers Street Properties has secured an amended, restated and consolidated credit agreement that provides the locally-based firm with approximately $1.25 billion of new and refinanced unsecured borrowings and available capacity.
The financing is in addition to a recently completed $120-million unsecured term loan, bringing the total credit capacity to $1.37 billion, company officials said.
"Obtaining these unsecured financings at very attractive interest rates is an affirmation of the strength of our balance sheet and the value and stability of our portfolio," said Martin A. Reid, Chambers Street Properties' chief financial officer.
"With our enhanced balance sheet flexibility and borrowing capacity, including an expanded $850-million revolving line of credit, as well as new and replacement unsecured term loan financings of $520 million, the company is well capitalized to pursue its strategic objectives to grow our portfolio and drive higher cash flows and shareholder value over time," Reid says.

Faith in a flash: Arizona churches offer ashes to go to mark start of Lent
PHOENIX — Episcopalians struggling to find time for church on Ash Wednesday can still partake in the holy festivities without the time commitment. Several churches in the Valley are offering "ashes to go."
"This is an age-old tradition to kick off Lent," Rev. Jonathon Christopher said. "It is to remind us that this is the season of penitence and fasting and to remember that we are created from dust."
Christopher is a pastor at Epiphany on the Desert in Gila Bend.
"For people that are rushing around and may not have a chance to get to a service that day, they can stop by and get their ashes," he said. "They can get a couple of prayers and a blessing."
Christopher said that more people are getting ashes to-go this year to accommodate their busy schedules.
"Every year there is an increase in the amount of people doing it," and there are also an increasing number of churches getting involved according to Christopher.
Ashes to go are available at the following locations:
• Epiphany on the Desert, Gila Bend (in the park diagonally across the street from the Post Office from 6 to 11 a.m.)
• Episcopal Campus Ministry at Arizona State University, Tempe (in front of Danforth Chapel from noon to 2 p.m.)
• Episcopal Canterbury Fellowship at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff (University Union from 8 a.m. to noon; du Bois Center from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.)
• St. Andrew's, Tucson (Armory Park on the corner of 12th Street and Sixth Avenue from noon to 1 p.m.)
• St. John's, Globe (In front of the church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.)
• Episcopal Church of St. Mary's, Phoenix (Montebello Light Rail station from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4-5:30 p.m.)
• St. Philip's in the Hills, Tucson (Starbuck's at River and Campbell from 9 a.m.-noon; bus depot on north Stone from 9 to noon; Northwest YMCA on Shannon from 9 to 11 a.m.; Campaña del Rio on River Road from noon to 2 p.m.; the river walk near Campbell from 1 to 4 p.m.)
• Trinity Cathedral, Phoenix (Central Avenue and Roosevelt Street from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m; Transit Station at Central and Van Buren Street from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.; Central and Taylor Street from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.)

Just Married is a 2003 American romantic comedy film directed by Shawn Levy, and was written by Sam Harper, and starring Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. Produced by Robert Simonds, the film was successful at the box office despite generally negative critical reviews.
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (March 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The film starts off with Tom and Sarah in the airport. The film then shows their life together from the moment they met up to the present. Tom Leezak (Ashton Kutcher) and Sarah McNerney (Brittany Murphy) meet up when Tom accidentally hits Sarah with a football. A few months later, despite opposition from Sarah's rich, uptight family, they get married. However they each have a secret that they want to keep from each other: Tom doesn't want Sarah to know that he accidentally killed her dog and Sarah doesn't want Tom to know she slept with Peter Prentiss (Christian Kane), a family friend. Tom and Sarah decide to honeymoon at a classy hotel at the foot of the Alps. On their way there, they attempt to join the mile high club, but fail when the captain turns on the fasten seat belt sign and they are forced to go back to their seats.
They arrive at the hotel and discover that Tom's friend Kyle left them a present: the Thunderstick A-200, which is a sex toy. Tom tries to plug the toy in the socket, but the plug isn't built for a European outlet and he shuts down the entire village's electricity when he tries to force it in. The newlyweds leave the hotel after Tom has a heated argument with the hotel owner. While trying to find another hotel they crash and get buried under a heap of snow, but they are able to climb out in the morning. Eventually, they get a ride from a truck driver and end up staying at a pensione in Venice. The pensione turns out to be very bad, and they soon check out after Tom discovers a cockroach on his neck while the couple are attempting to make love.
The couple manage to secure a nice hotel with the financial help of Sarah's father, who demands that Tom pay the money back as soon as he can. The next day they go sightseeing in Venice, but Tom quickly gets bored and the couple decide to split up for the day: Tom going to the bar to watch sports and his wife continuing to see Venice. Sarah realizes that Peter is staying at her hotel. This prompts her to initiate a conversation with Tom in which he reveals that he accidentally killed her dog and she reveals she slept with Peter Prentiss. The couple storm out of the hotel and each go their separate ways: Tom going back to the bar, where he meets a girl, and Sarah going sightseeing again, and meeting up with Peter. The girl begins to flirt with Tom and the two end up dancing. When Tom realizes she wants to have sex with him, he makes an excuse and escapes through the bathroom window. He goes back to the hotel, only to find that Sarah is with Peter. This prompts him to go back to the bar yet again, where the girl finds him again. Tom tries to think of a clever way to get out of his situation, and agrees to walk with the girl to the hotel. Once in Tom and Sarah's room, the girl rips off her top. Tom then blurts out that he's on his honeymoon, and the girl finally leaves.
Peter convinces Sarah to go with him for a drink, promising her a ride home. He eventually takes her home and kisses her, but she slaps him and tells him that she's on her honeymoon. Tom sees the kiss but does not see her slap him and assumes that Sarah is having a relationship with Peter. This prompts him to initiate an argument with Sarah, during which she finds a bra that the girl who Tom was with left behind. Peter bursts in the room tells Sarah to run away with him to Seattle. Tom equips himself with a fire poker and starts shouting at Peter, breaking things in the process. Peter runs away from the scene, asking the maître d' to call the police. Tom chases Peter out of the hotel where Tom gets arrested, and he and Sarah end up in a prison cell for a non-parole period of 28 years. Peter bails them out and this time the couple, angry at each other, decide to go home to Los Angeles.
The film switches to the present, where Sarah has moved out and Tom wants to get back with her. Upon receiving advice from his father (Raymond J. Barry), Tom attempts to break into Sarah's family's household to tell her that he loves her, but gives up after unsuccessfully trying to ram the gate. However, Sarah opens the gate herself after seeing Tom make a romantic speech to the camera and the two rush out to proclaim their love for each other. Sarah's family finally accepts Tom and Sarah's relationship. The film ends with the couple recounting events from the honeymoon.
