Attacked By Haredim On A Bus To The Kotel
Latest update: July 1st, 2013
When I publicly disclosed the beating I received on the #2 bus going to the Kotel last November, it was after consulting with daas Torah and lots of soul searching. I did not relish the black eye this would inevitably give haredi Jews, and I was uncomfortable associating my name with such a grievous event.
There was no shortage of criticism leveled at me for publicizing the horrendous incident. While the majority of the more than 3,000 e-mails I received were supportive and even congratulatory for my refusal to be bullied by a group of mutineers on a public bus, there nevertheless were a significant enough minority who felt I had erred for various reasons.
The most common was that I should have behaved as a "bas melech Yisrael" and could have avoided all of the ugliness if I would have just been a little more compliant. A few even went so far as to condemn my response to the initial spitting ("you should have simply moved to the back").
When Jonathan Rosenblum interviewed me for his article in Mishpacha magazine ("Knowing Our Limits"), he was sincere, without condemnation, in his curiosity as to why I stood my ground in refusing to give up my seat. I explained that the incident had to be understood in the context of what was going on while I was in Yerushalayim for five weeks – during the "gay parade" brouhaha.
Every night, yeshivas were letting their students out to riot in the streets. Garbage cans were dumped and strewn in the streets and their contents set on fire. Many people, particularly the elderly and small children, had been rushed to hospitals suffering from respiratory difficulties due to the toxicity of the smoke that was belching throughout residential neighborhoods. Public health officials were warning that the carcinogens in the air were at dangerous levels.
I myself was in bed for three days with a severe respiratory infection caused by being forced to inhale these fumes every day. Almost every morning, our bus would have to stop and carefully navigate around burning piles of rubbish
I stood at Kikar Shabbat one evening and watched boys as young as 8 and 9 running through the streets setting anything within their reach on fire. A white van made the big mistake of traveling through Kikar Shabbat. The van was pelted with objects. When the driver stopped and got out of his van, it was overturned and torched. Nobody even knew if this driver was "for" or "against" the very thing the rioters were rioting about!
I asked one of the boys, "Do you know why you're doing this?" His answer: "Because it's fun!" The following Shabbos, an acquaintance of mine told me her sons were "not going to shul today, they need to sleep in and catch up on their rest because their rebbe had let them out to go rioting almost every night this week."
I couldn't resist responding that I wouldn't send my son to a yeshiva that employed such "rebbeim."
I also explained to Mr. Rosenblum that it sickened me to stand and watch a store in Geula burned to the ground by the area's "Tznius Patrol." The store, "One of a Kind," is owned by an American rosh yeshiva's wife and sells nice and affordable tzniusdik clothing. However, sequins on some of the items did not meet the tznius standards of this "Patrol" and they demanded its removal from the store. The proprietor refused and they responded with arson, destroying her merchandise, her store, and her livelihood – and probably jacking up the insurance rates for everyone else in the neighborhood. (Kol hakavod to this woman for rebuilding her store since then.)
During my five-week stay in Yerushalayim, I also heard many accounts of women being surreptitiously bleached by "Tznius Patrol" squads. If their clothing did not measure up to their standards, a baby bottle of bleach delivered its contents, thus rendering the garment useless. I know people who refuse to shop in Geula and Meah Shearim as a consequence of such actions.
It is against this backdrop and in this context that I decided "Enough Is Enough." I will not capitulate to anyone – even over a seat – who wants to impose his chumras on me. It wasn't a matter of being an American who is socially conditioned to protect her "rights" – it was about pushing back against bullies who have yet to learn they do not own the streets or the buses and that basic derech eretz dictates that a young man half my age should not even suggest I sit elsewhere.
It never crossed my mind that I would be inviting a beating by refusing to move to the back of the bus. The most I expected were some heated verbal exchanges. I honestly did not believe frum men would beat up a woman on a public non-Mehadrin bus over the seating arrangement.
The beating was bad enough. The fact that nobody came to my assistance was just as shameful. Equally disdainful were those who voiced support for those engaged in the assault.
It's almost a year since the incident took place. There's been much time to reflect, to weigh the opinions and comments of others, to explore solutions to this type of "holy" perversion in our community. Many websites have discussed this phenomenon.
Some have spoken out at great risk to their personal and professional reputations within their own communities. These brave voices need to be given our support. They need us to stick our necks out as well and say "Enough!" Most important, we need to educate ourselves and our children and become more secure in our Torah values.
It has been brought to my attention that the arbitrary decision by the #2 bus riders to make the line Mehadrin – to strengthen the level of tznius by implementing a separate seating arrangement – came about as a response to a horrific bombing on that line several years earlier.
Increasing our shmira in mitzvah observance in the wake of tragedy is commendable to the highest degree. But I would like to ask the men who go about beating up women on buses: Do the bruises and humiliation you inflict on others, and the dishonor you bring to our Torah and our people, increase your ruchnius and the ruchnius of those around you or does it diminish it?
If you are convinced your cause has merit, why didn't you follow the course of due process available to you – namely, petition Egged to designate the #2 bus as Mehadrin? This is not a futile endeavor, as Egged has reviewed every such request and granted almost all of them.
Let me tell you what you have accomplished with your total disregard of halacha, Torah, and dina malchusa dina: Because of your actions, five women have petitioned the High Court to have all Mehadrin buses suspended. The hearing is scheduled for next month. Most likely, because of your actions Egged will not be legally permitted to offer Mehadrin lines. This means the private bus lines will return, catering to your request for separate seating arrangements. That's fine for everyone – except Egged, of course, whose revenues will certainly be dented by these entrepreneurs. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
To those who beat up the woman in Beit Shemesh two weeks ago and the ones who assaulted me last November, or who engage in any kind of violence: The chumras you take upon yourself should not be used to dominate and control others. It would be better for you to forgo your chumras and correct that which is within.
As for haredi Jews, it is high time for us to collectively say in a loud and clear voice, "Enough Is Enough!" That means standing up to the bullies who shame Hashem's name by committing violence – and, equally as important, assisting those who are injured by their criminal actions.Miriam Shear

ADHD Adults
Another Newbie
Hi Everyone,
Very glad to have found this community. I'm going to seek a diagnosis this week. I suspect that I've had ADD my entire life and I'm in my mid 40's. I have every symptom and have had them since my teens.
My life looks like someone gathered it up and flung it in the air. I'm all over the place and everything is a mess.
Anyway - glad to be where others can relate.

What do Hitchcock's femme fatales, a mosque in Istanbul and Mozart have in common? Each was inspiration for the fall 2013 collections of fashion designers who will be strutting their stuff on catwalks all over town beginning Thursday as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week takes over Manhattan.
It may seem premature, with the end of winter almost in sight -- you've probably just begun to fantasize about your spring wardrobe. Not so for designers, who have been feverishly working on these fall collections since September. And if, like us, you sometimes wonder, "What were they thinking?," well, a slew of designers were kind enough to tell us and share a glimpse of their work. -- Anne Bratskeir

Fighting Cancer with Spices!
Spice Up Your Life & Fight Cancer
By Guest Contributor: Amy Patterson —– Love the bright yellow color that turmeric adds to Indian dishes, the sneaky heat of black pepper, or the versatility of garlic? According to researchers, these everyday, easy to use spices, rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, can keep you healthy and possibly help in fighting cancer with spices. In an age when people are trying to be more proactive in their own health, including the decisions that they make, many are open to taking a natural approach to managing health.
Keep Sickness Away with These Tips on Fighting Cancer with Spices
Researchers have found that adding just a pinch of spices packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to a daily dish can turn it into a cancer fighting meal. While some not-so-adventurous eaters prefer to keep their meals on the bland side, there are a variety of spices that can enhance a meal without compromising the overall taste. Want to fight against nasty cancer cells after facing a delayed cancer diagnosis or simply boost your health? Read further for some great tips on fighting cancer with spices and learn the benefits they can offer to your health!
Try incorporating some of these spices into your daily diet; if you look in your spice cabinet (even way in the back), you may find that you already have all the spices you need:
- Black or Cayenne Pepper: For users new to the world of spices, black pepper may be a good starting point. This berry contains piperine, a naturally occurring chemical compound and has strong antioxidant properties. According to a study published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, black pepper was found to inhibit the growth of cancerous stem cells of breast tumors.
Like black pepper, cayenne pepper is known as a powerful antioxidant thanks to the capsaicin found in chili peppers. Capsaicin has shown to suppress the growth of prostate cancer cells and in some instances even kill some.
Both peppers can be added to a variety of meals throughout the day, from eggs to a snack like popcorn to add a little cancer fighting heat.
- Ginger: Fresh ginger, sliced or grated straight from the root, has been known to aid in digestion, help control nausea, and due to its anti-inflammatory properties may protect against cancer. This spice, used in a variety of baking and ethnic dishes, can help patients who are battling the nauseating side effects of traditional cancer treatment.
- Garlic: Not only has garlic played a role in the folklore of warding off vampires, but this allium vegetable (along with other family members: onions, scallions, and leeks) has been known to prevent stomach cancer. If you're starting to feel a little run down and may be coming down with something, add this immune-strengthening and anti-carcinogenic spice to any dish. If you're feeling really brave (bad breath or not), try roasting garlic in olive to make a delicious spread.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon is most likely one of the most used and recognized spices in baking. The National Center for Biotechnology Information suggests the Ceylon cinnamon (this is the preferred type) may be effective in the treatment of tumors, preventing gastric cancer, melanoma, lymphoma, and other cancers such as cervix and colorectal.
While spices have been known to show positive results, you may need to do more than add more than spice to your daily meals. By closely monitoring your own health and having a medical professional you can trust, you can be proactive in living a healthier life and fighting against cancers and other life changing illnesses.

One man play, 'Mercy Killers,' addresses trials and tribulations of health insurance
October 18, 2013
"Mercy Killers" is a one-man play written and performed by Broadway actor Michael Milligan. It tells the story of Joe, a good man who, when his wife is diagnosed with cancer, experiences the spiral of losses that can and do occur, even to those who have health insurance. Mr. Milligan is a winner of the prestigious Fringe First Award at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival in Scotland and received excellent reviews for the play. The performance is brought to the Off Center Stage, 315 Richardson St., Grass Valley, by the Nevada County Chapter of Health Care for All on at 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 5 and 6. Doors open at 6 p.m. with live music, no-host food by Summer Thymes. The play begins at 7 p.m. followed by a panel including Dr. Roger Hicks of Yubadocs moderating; Mr. Mulligan; Rose Roach, field director for the California School Employees Association (Nov. 5); and Cindy Young of the California Nurses Association/Campaign for a Healthy California (Nov. 6), both highly knowledgable about single payer and the ACA/Obamacare. Come early as seating is limited. Admission is free with a suggested donation of $20. This is for mature audiences.

It's time to party, "Fringe" fans — not only is it Friday, but our favorite show was picked up this week for a full 22-episode fourth season.
Tonight's shocking (and crazy good) episode, "Bloodline," might harsh your buzz a little – but in a good way. We find Fauxlivia distraught by the high likelihood of a pregnancy complication called VPE — which took both her sister and her baby during labor.
When she's kidnapped and her pregnancy is accelerated, she fears that both she and her unborn child are in mortal danger.
Of course, this is of even greater concern to Walternate, as he's thrilled to learn that Fauxlivia is carrying his grandchild. We loved the chance to see Lincoln and Charlie in action again, as well as alterna-Astrid — Jasika Nicole remains one of the most underrated players on television.
The team's concern for Fauxlivia is great, but it's her own actions that are ultimately kick-ass. We spent a large part of this season hating Fauxlivia, but we've come a long way. Her pregnancy and her family history have gone a long way toward making her a sympathetic character. She's even sort of likable at this point.
Not to mention, we positively adore Seth Gabel as Lincoln in a particularly heart-wrenching scene, so if more "over there" time brings us more Lincoln, we're all for it. Some secrets surface for Lincoln and Charlie in this episode, and we're pretty sure they're not going to settle for only knowing part of the story.
Another ace part of this episode? Andre Royo returning as Henry Higgins, cabbie who helped our Olivia when she first arrived "over there." We'd been hoping to see it again.
We can't wait to chat with you guys about this episode — particularly those final moments. What'd you think? Weigh in below in the comments section.

DNA microarray analysis of rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility genes identified by genome-wide association studies

Published: 12 March 2010
In a recent interesting review, Alex Clarke and Timothy Vyse described the genetics of rheumatic disease [1]. In the past several years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the identification of six high-risk rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility genes - namely, CD244, PADI4, SLC22A2, PTPN22, CTLA4, and STAT4 (summarized in [2]). In vitro studies using mutant alleles and cultured cells have revealed the individual upregulation of CD244, PADI4, SLC22A2, and PTPN22 [2–6]; however, studies on the expression of RA susceptibility genes in RA patients are rare. We therefore investigated the expression of the above-mentioned six RA susceptibility genes in 112 RA patients using DNA microarray analysis. This study aims to clarify whether DNA microarray analysis and GWAS produce comparable results with respect to RA susceptibility genes.
Total RNA extracted from total peripheral blood cells obtained from 112 RA patients and 45 healthy individuals was used to prepare aminoallyl RNA. As a reference, mixed RNA from 45 healthy individuals was used. The aminoallyl RNA of each individual and the reference was subjected to Cy3 and Cy5 labeling, respectively, and was hybridized with an oligonucleotide-based DNA microarray. The data obtained were analyzed by nonparametric statistical group comparison. The intensities of the noprobe spots were used as the background. The median and standard deviation of the background intensity were calculated. The genes with an intensity value that was less than the median plus 2 standard deviation of the background intensity were identified as null. The Cy3/Cy5 ratios of all spots on the DNA microarray were normalized using the global ratio median. Only gene expression data that were collected from at least 80% of samples from each group were selected for further analysis. The unpaired Mann-Whitney test was used to determine statistically significant differences in the mRNA expression levels between the RA and healthy groups. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.

In this study, we revealed the correlation between five out of the six high-risk RA susceptibility genes using DNA microarray analysis. Prostate cancer susceptibility genes identified by GWAS were recently reported to be consistent with those identified by microarray analysis [10]. We therefore concluded that the combination of microarray analysis and GWAS would be a more effective approach for gene identification than the analysis of individual datasets. Moreover, the simultaneous use of both methods would allow for more accurate identification of RA candidate genes.

Skip to comments.Japan halts Pfizer, Sanofi vaccines after four die
Posted on 03/07/2011 4:10:57 AM PST by nuconvert
TOKYO (Reuters) Japan's health ministry has halted the use of vaccines made by Pfizer Inc and Sanofi-Aventis SA to prevent meningitis and pneumonia following the deaths of four children.
Three of the children that died in Japan were administered Prevenar together with ActHIB. In addition, three of the children also received a mixed vaccine against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus on the same day they received the other vaccines.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
That is indeed a lot of vaccine in one day. Don't they pay doctors to think about things like that?
I understand your comment, and the vaccines separately may very well have been safe.
But giving all of these at once sounds foolish.
I'm not saying every vaccine is safe, but it's difficult to understand why a person would badmouth them. How many millions of people are alive and healthy because of them?
Guess not. Dr's are told that each vaccine is safe, so they figure it shouldn't be a problem to give a bunch at once.
Personally, I wouldn't allow that many on myself.
The vaccines your kids received and those which children are given today are not the same. Children today are receiving almost double the vaccines at younger ages.
I forgot to add - one other significant difference is that in the older generations children were outside every day and obtaining sufficient Vitamin D, which supports immunity. Children today are almost all deficient in D due to the fears of skin cancer and the fact that sun blocks are used whenever anyone goes outside.
Nobody is badmouthing vaccines in general. It's just that pumping so much foreign material into a tiny child all at once is unnecessary and possibly dangerous.
All my children got their vaccinations too, on time, but there were far fewer vaccinations required for them.
And my dad and 2 aunts had polio before there was any treatment for the disease and lived with the results (stunted limbs) the rest of their lives.
And exactly when do you think the polio epidemic occurred? My relatives were sickened in the 1890s and in 1913. In the 1950s, Milwaukee recommended building "polio fences" — fencing off your backyard so that children did not mingle. Not all ideas promoted for your health are sound.
"Dont they pay doctors to think about things like that?"
They do little or any research for groups of vaccines, just certify a single vaccine then throw it in the batch. To my knowledge there are no studies about groups of vaccines upon the health of a child.
The well being of many outweighs the well being of a few. It's the classic Faustian contract of health professionals. If they didn't follow it the little 'disease resevoirs' would inflict cholera, small pox, polio, diptheria and all the rest upon us. Why it would be the 19th century all over agin!!!
< /s >
Children years ago used to get about a dozen vaccines.
Now they may get as many as thirty—and these are not spread
out over time.
That's likely too many all at once.
Vaccines, like everything else, may need to be administered in moderation.
The article says nothing about what killed the children. All we know is that they died shortly after receiving the vaccines. Did they all die of the same cause, or of different causes? The workings of chance say that there is a certain proportion of individuals who will die immediately after receiving a vaccine, although the death is unrelated. Furthermore, unusual events may be clustered in such a way as to make them look related when they really aren't.
Correlation =/= causation.
There's no reason to jump to conclusions here.
I'm not jumping to conclusions.
The deaths may turn out to have nothing do with the combination of vaccines, but I still think it's a lot for a little body to handle & not something I'd do to myself.
Vaccine are generally safe...but a reasonable question to ask is:
Is earlier (than they used to be given) timing regime and administration of groups of vaccines used because that regime is KNOWN to be optimum for the child's immune system OR... is it used because of convenient as per offcie visits and compliance?
The issue is that few people alive today in developed countries have seen the horrors of infectious diseases. So, when certain people (with their own motives) start bad-mouthing vaccines, they can truthfully point out the 1 in a million (or whatever) chance of an adverse reaction leading to death, while omitting that without the vaccine, the disease it prevents has a 1 in 3 chance of causing death.
I read recently that infectious disease still causes over 50% of all deaths worldwide. We're just too insulated from that reality.
I realize you put the sarc tag at the end, but you're more correct than you maybe realize on this. One of the reasons that schools insist on vaccines for all of the students is that studies have established that there is a certain minimum number within the population that must be vaccinated in order to provide "herd immunity." E.g., 95% must be vaccinated against polio in order to prevent the remaining 5% from catching and spreading polio. (Do not quote me on the numbers! They are for illustrative purposes only.) Without sufficient numbers of immunized individuals, the disease can spread even among those who were immunized.
You expose yourself to pathogens constantly, unless you live in a bubble. Your children are even more exposed.
*If* the vaccines are shown to be related to the deaths in this case, I would suspect a bad bottle, package, or production lot. There is no evidence to blanketly condemn vaccines or the vaccine regimen here.
I have always gotten my children vaccinated BUT I demand the shots to be spread out. They get one and I make another appointment in about three weeks for the next. I see little babies getting three and four at one time. All that going through one little child is ridiculous. IMHO
That's what I've read at The Vitamin D Council, too.
What's shocking is that there are now *some* cases where parents have been accused of child abuse when their child actually was discovered to have rickets.
Feel free to treat your kids & yourelf as you like.
Is earlier (than they used to be given) timing regime and administration of groups of vaccines used because that regime is KNOWN to be optimum for the childs immune system OR... is it used because of convenient as per offcie visits and compliance?
It's called 'grab 'em and stab 'em' and it's a well-known practice in medicine No thought is given to the benefit or harm to the patient, just pump 'em full of as many vaccines as possible at each visit. Too much time, charting, visits AND you run the risk of the patient not coming back for more. all these vaccine cheerleaders just make me laugh. They actually think the medical system is there to keep people healthy. I've got news for them, but they won't listen, so I'll just save my breath and let them find out the hard way.
The last thing Japan needs is less children, they have birthrate issues the way it is.

They actually think the medical system is there to keep people healthy. Ive got news for them, but they wont listen, so Ill just save my breath and let them find out the hard way.
There are several issues with the vaccination schedules, which are under constant review and research. One particularly vexing issue is that infants develop and die from diseases before they are due to receive the vaccines. They are exposed to older children who have also not received the vaccines due to their parents' misguided belief that somehow, vaccines are more dangerous than the disease they prevent. Furthermore, some pathogens can colonize people without causing disease; Neisseria meningititis, for example, has been shown to colonize about 10% of the population. This is a big source of danger for small infants.
Keep in mind that vaccines only present a small challenge to the immune system. The theory being, that if a small challenge is presented and overcome through a vaccine, then the immune system will be primed and ready to fight the real challenge presented by a virulent pathogen.
I would highly suggest to anyone interested in the subject, to look up Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. It contains many good articles about disease prevalence, and presents the latest recommended vaccine schedules. Since it is written by and for scientists, it bypasses much of the fearmongering that is so prevalent elsewhere. It requires no subscription to access.
Believe me, I'd much rather face the infinitesimal risk of a vaccine reaction than the far larger risk of catching a potentially fatal disease.
I'm not against vaccines

We examined children's and adults' numerical estimation and the representations that gave rise to their estimates. The results were inconsistent with two prominent models of numerical representation: the logarithmic-ruler model, which proposes that people of all ages possess a single, logarithmically spaced representation of numbers, and the accumulator model, which proposes that people of all ages represent numbers as linearly increasing magnitudes with scalar variability. Instead, the data indicated that individual children possess multiple numerical representations; that with increasing age and numerical experience, they rely on appropriate representations increasingly often; and that the numerical context influences their choice of representation. The results, obtained with second graders, fourth graders, sixth graders, and adults who performed two estimation tasks in two numerical contexts, strongly suggest that one cause of children's difficulties with estimation is reliance on logarithmic representations of numerical magnitudes in situations in which accurate estimation requires reliance on linear representations.
