March 20, 2012 - Kibbutz Tzubah - Near Ein Kerem, Jerusalem.
Dear Friends,
I write this post from Israel. I arrived last night - joining Sue at Kibbutz Tzubah - where she has been staying for the past week. As many of you know, our son, Ethan is participating in the Eisendrath International Exchange - a semester-long High School in Israel program sponsored by the Reform Movement. This past week has been "parents week." While I was not able to participate the entire week, Sue came to Israel ahead of me and I arrived for the last two days in order that we might see Ethan together.
On Thursday afternoon, our group of 45 Temple members will meet in Israel and we will begin our 10 day journey. I will try to post a few blog posts during the course of our trip for those who are interested in following our adventure.
I'm sure that by now you have heard about the tragedy that occurred in Toulouse, France. It appears that a racist gunman - as yet - unidentified - has murdered four Jews in cold blood at a religious school: 3 children and 1 adult. It also seems likely that the same gunman (or weapon) was used in the slaying of three "ethnic looking" French soldiers earlier this month.
Reaction here in Israel to this tragedy has been very public and very powerful. Two of the slain - children - have Israeli citizenship. But even if this were not the case, the cold blooded murder of innocent souls - merely because they were Jewish - would still be a cause of mourning and outrage. We have been there before.
Yesterday, Prime Minster Netanyahu blasted the United Nations because at the very moment that the world was digesting the horrible details of this tragedy, a representative of Hamas was addressing the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.
Speaking of the Hamas representative, Netanyahu said: "He represents an organization that indiscriminately targets children and grown-ups, and women and men. Innocents are their special favorite target...."
Israel is a very politically divided nation. It is rare that everyone here is in agreement about any issue - except this: Those who legitimize terror in any form are deceiving themselves. The only difference between that gunman in Toulouse and the agents of Hamas who fire rockets into Southern Israel is the fact that, in Israel, it is difficult, if not impossible to find easy targets due to the security measures that she has been forced to employ to keep her citizens safe.
Too many people around the world refuse to acknowledge this truth. Adding insult to the Hamas speech at the UN was the fact that the European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton appears to have compared the actions of this murderous racist in France to Israel's defensive operations in Gaza. At a conference Monday in Brussels on Palestinian refugees, Ashton reportedly said, "When we remember young people who have been killed in all sorts of terrible circumstances -- the Belgian children having lost their lives in a terrible tragedy,and when we think about what happened today in Toulouse, we remember what happened in Norway last year, we know what is happening in Syria, and we see what is happening in Gaza and other places -- we remember young people and children who lose their lives."
This kind of obscene comparison cannot and will not be tolerated. The Israeli army is one of the most moral defense forces in the world. The fact that Israel is forced to defend herself against armed aggressors who will stop at nothing to kill her citizens means that occasionally unintended casualties occur during the course of operations. Hamas and it's compatriots deliberately place women and children in harms way in order to maximize the potential for innocent life to be lost. Time after time, when such casualties do occur, the IDF takes pains to investigate whether proper procedures were followed. If they were not, then those soldiers responsible are punished. What other Middle East nation takes such pains to ensure that justice is served? What other country is so concerned with due process? Israel is the ONLY stable, democratic state in this region. To compare the State of Israel to those who kill because of their hatred for Jews and Zionism is an obscenity.
It is for this, and so many other reasons, that we, as American Jews - as lovers of Democracy - must stand firm and show our support for the State of Israel. While I do not always agree with the policies of every Israeli government, I respect and defend the rights of Israel to live as a free, Democratic and Jewish state. Those members of our congregation who will soon be joining me and Sue will have a wonderful, life-changing experience. But we will also be showing our support and solidarity by our presence. I look forward to sharing our experiences with you - on this page and when we return.
Shalom M'Yisrael - Shalom from Israel.
Rabbi Joseph R. Black

Zionsville Boy Scouts help rescue men after kayaks capsize on Mississenewa
PERU, Ind. (WTHR) — Some Boy Scouts and others are being credited with coming to the aid of two men whose kayaks capsized.
It was a quiet, cold Saturday on Lake Mississinewa. Some were on the water. Some were in the woods. And it's fortunate that one group could hear the other.
"(We) planned out the trail and we all took the hike around the Blue Heron trail. That's when we heard the shouts for help," said Boy Scout Sam Byatt, one of several campers there from the Troop 69.
The Scouts and adult leaders with Zionsville's Troop 69 couldn't have known that being trained in emergency response would pay off for two strangers that day.
"We kind of saw the kayak actually tip over. It was kind of frightening to see," said Scout Bennett McAfee.
"We couldn't make it out at first, but eventually we heard 'help!'" said Elijah Stukenborg, also a Boy Scout.
Two men — strangers — were in the water after their kayaks capsized.
Be prepared? These Scouts were.
"One of the boys charged with leading the actual hike had a map. He was able to show on the map where we were, so talking to 911, we could tell them exactly where we were," said Jay Byatt, Sam's dad. He was also able to easily tell authorities the locations of the victims.
Two scouts then volunteered to head to the closest boat dock to the victims to look for rescue craft.
Scott Stukenborg said the scouts had a watery obstacle, but just forded through it, chest deep in 40 degree water just to make it to the boat ramp and summon someone with a boat.
As the scouts heard the calls, so did two men in a fishing boat on the water. "It was scary to see the two guys in the water," one of the men, who wished to remain anonymous, said. "The first guy was a little hard to get in (the boat) because he slipped out of my buddy's hands," he said. "The first guy was shaking pretty bad. Took off my coat and covered them up. Then went and got the other guy."
The scouts said one of their guys was there with a blanket too. Everyone was racing to prevent hypothermia from setting in.
"We found the situation, we saw what was happening. That's exactly what we were being prepared for," Sam said.

"Like I say as an adult leader it was great to see our group come together and everyone do their part," said Jay Bhatt. "It's the kind of stuff we train for, emergency response, to actually watch it happen in a real situation was kind of neat."
Police say the victims were taken to hospital, checked for injuries and hypothermia then released.
Besides having prepared rescuers in the area, the victims had something else going for them. They were wearing flotation devices.
