In Cabinet Crisis
By GIL SEDAN
Prime Minister Yitzhak Sha-
mir may have saved the Likud-
Labor unity coalition govern-
ment by allowing Ezer Weiz-
man to stay in the Cabinet.
But his compromise with the
errant Laborite has aroused
the wrath of his chief rivals in
the Likud bloc, Ministers Ariel
Sharon, David Levy and Yitz-
hak Moda'i.
They were among the first to
congratulate the prime minis-
ter for toughness after he sum-
marily fired Weizman at the
Dec. 31 Cabinet meeting, for
allegedly maintaining contacts
with the Palestine Liberation
But now they are heaping
scorn on the 11th-hour deal
made Tuesday. Weizman
agreed to resign from the pres-
tigious, policy-making Inner
Cabinet of 12 senior ministers.
He will, however, retain his
Cabinet portfolio as minister
of science and development,
which has little influence on
affairs of state.
The compromise allowed
Vice Premier Shimon Peres
and Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin, the two senior Labor
ministers, to save face. Nei-
ther they nor their colleagues
wanted to break up the gov-
ernment, over the firing of
Weizman, a political maverick
who is not considered to have
much of a popular following.
But Peres could hardly have
ignored Shamir's violation of
the coalition agreement, which
states that the prime minister
cannot dismiss a Labor minis-
ter without the consent of the
vice premier.
A number of political ana-
lysts viewed the compromise
as strengthening Shamir and
further weakening Labor.
But according to Levy, a
deputy premier who is minis-
ter of construction and hous-
ing, Shamir's compromise was
a serious blow to Likud. It
gave Labor a "recipe" to beat
Likud in the future, he
Levy stressed that he and
his associates were not parties
to that "unfortunate compro-
mise," adding that what began
"like a drama" ended "with a
That is symptomatic of a
situation in which part of the
Likud's leadership has not
been privy to information and
decisions, he said.
Sharon, the fiery minister of
industry and trade, contended
that Shamir's handling of the
Weizman crisis gave legiti-
macy to the PLO. He said it
exposed "a weak performance
under pressure" by the prime
minister and a flawed decision-
making process.
Sharon, Levy and Moda'i,
who is minister of economics
and planning, met Thursday to
discuss the situation. They
decided to try again to con-
vene the Likud Central Com-
mittee to impose constraints
on Shamir's conduct of foreign
policy, especially his peace ini-
tiative, which the three minis-
ters oppose.
The Prime Minister's Office
said the critics failed to appre-
ciate that Weizman is no lon-
ger in the Inner Cabinet and
that a clear message was sent
to the world that Israel will
never negotiate with the PLO.
Weizman, for his part,
landed Thursday in Moscow,
on a long-planned visit to the
Soviet Union.

events deemed most vital to
Jews during the outgoing
year, a list compiled by Burton

national director, respectively,
of the ADL.

The departure of 60,000
Jews from the Soviet Union
during the past year exceed-

Of those who left, more of
them settled in Israel, due to
the newly adopted U.S. immi-
gration policies, Levinson and
Foxman observed.
But those Soviet Jews who
remained also faced a serious
menace in the rise of virulently

from glasnost.

Jerusalem Post Publisher Fires 20
By HUGH 0R6EL
TEL AVIV (JTA) The
Jerusalem Post, Israel's only
English-language daily, is in
the throes of a fierce dispute
over policy between its senior
editorial staff and its recently
appointed president and publi-
sher, retired Israel Defense
Force Col. Yehuda Levy.
The Post reported on its
front page that nine senior
editorial staff members, led by
Managing Editor David Lan-
dau, and 11 other journalists
sent letters of resignation to
Levy and to David Radler,
chairman of the Canada-based
Hollinger newspaper chain,
which bought the Post last

Records Spotlight Challenge
The numbers themselves tend to numb.
A record 71,509 Jews left the Soviet
Union last year, far exceeding the 51,320
who emigrated in the previous 12-month
And Israel now expects a quarter of a
million immigrants from the USSR within
the next three or four years.
The only proper question is not whether
Israel can handle what is now termed
Exodus II, but how it will accept this
vitally-needed infusion of Jewish citizens.
A top-level Jewish Agency executive has
asked Israel to impose a mandatory loan on
its citizens, much as it did after the 1973
Yom Kippur War.
Both Israel Bonds and the United Jewish
Appeals have agreed to historic campaigns
for funds with which to help absorb the
Russians into the mainstream of Israeli
Simultaneously, the numbers of Soviet
Jews who are gaining admission into the
United States remain at high levels,
further taxing the resources of American
But if we are to demonstrate that our
pleas of "Let My People Go" were sincere,
we cannot hesitate at meeting and exceed-
ing all of the requirements and goals.
The Israelis will have to endure addi-
tional hardships to maintain the Law of
Return for every Jew. Diaspora Jewry, and
particularly American Jews, must gladly
share the burden.
Fascell Merits Honor
South Florida's Congressional delegation
has historically demonstrated unusually
strong support for Israel, with both Demo-
cratic and Republican representatives out-
spoken in their views.
Dean of the delegation, Rep. Dante B.
Fascell (Dem.-Fla.) has championed the
cause of the Jewish state throughout his
35-year tenure in Congress.
His position as Chairman of the House of
Representatives Committee on Foreign
Affairs makes Fascell's pro-Israel stance
even more significant.
It is therefore most fitting that he will be
honored with a doctorate in philosophy by
the University of Haifa at a Miami Beach
dinner and academic convocation next
We congratulate Dr. Fascell, whose
record as a legislator has been rewarded by
a lifetime of political victories. His stature
on the national scene is a tribute to our
entire community.

By MARC H. TANENBAUM
NEW YORK (JTA) In
speculating on what the upco-
ming 1990s might hold for the
Jewish people, Dorothy
Baker's well-known bon mot
comes to mind: "Jews are like
everybody else, only more so!"
No serious reflection on Jew-
ish interests in the 1990s can
take place without locating
them within the geopolitical
forces of East-West and
North-South relations.
Massive revolutions for
democracy and in opposition to
the ancient regimes of Com-
munist tyranny will have fate-
ful, and ambiguous, conse-
quences not only for European
Jewry, but for Jews every-
where, and especially for
Glasnost and perestroika
will continue to result in mas-
sive emigration for Soviet
Jewry, probably the dominant
human issue for world Jewry
in the 1990s. Challenges to
financial and human resources
for resettlement will be monu-
mental and will call for unpar-
alleled commitment and
Provision of Jewish religi-
ous, cultural and educational
support for the million-plus
Jews who opt to remain in the
Soviet Union will be a parallel
commanding Jewish concern.
Glasnost has made possible
unprecedented freedom of
speech in the Soviet Union and
in the East European coun-
tries, and certainly that human
right is to be welcomed by
But now, right-wing, nation-
alist and bitterly anti-Semitic
groups, foremost among them
the Pamyat, are beginning to
have a field day in spewing out
their anti-Jewish bile. Echoes
of that historic anti-Jewish
bias now circulates in the cul-
tural bloodstreams of Poland,
Hungary, East Germany,
Rumania and the other for-
merly Communist tyrannies.
Knowledgeable and skillful
Jewish leaders will have their
hands full counteracting both
the anti-Semitic and anti-
Israel biases which have sur-
faced on both sides of the
collapsed Iron Curtain.
The Vatican, which has qui-
etly emerged as a major archi-
tect in mobilizing the anti-
Communist forces in Eastern
Europe, could play a construc-
tive role in countering the reli-
gion-based anti- Semitism
that is, if Jews do not manage
to alienate the Vatican com-

Ethnic Rivalries Put Jews In Middle
Sisterhood Temple Beth Israel
By RUTH E. GRUBER
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia
(JTA) There is concern
among some Yugoslav Jews
that the complex ethnic and
?olitical rivalries besetting
ugoalavia may be placing its
tiny Jewish community in a
delicate and potentially diffi-
cult situation.
"Jews have been used as
short change in internal ethnic
conflicts," one Jewish source
put it bluntly.
Resulting tensions have
already been reported within
the Jewish community, but so
far, they have not been seri-

Yugoslavia's estimated
5,000 Jews out of a pre-
Holocaust population of 75,000
to 85,000 are centered
mostly in the republic of Ser-
bia, its province of Vovvodina,
and in the republics of Croatia
and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
More than once, amid the
complicated and emotional
ethnic conflict, attitudes by
one ethnic group against
another have been compared
to historic persecution of the
Lately, concern that Jews
may be squeezed by internal
tensions has been heightened
by the recent formation of a
Serbian-Jewish Friendship
Society and overtures to Israel
by Serbia.
This included a visit to Israel
this past fall by Serbia's
regional foreign affairs secret-
ary, Aleksandar Prlja, despite
the fact that Yugoslavia as a
whole does not have diplomatic
relations with Israel.

"Under today's circum-
stances, there are various
manipulations, particularly
nationalist manipulations, '
said Filip David, a Jewish
writer in Belgrade. "A society
like (the Serbian-Jewish
Friendship Society) can
become the object of manipula-
tions and can fit into a scenario
that may be written outside
it," he said.
"Why have a Serbian-Jewish

one Belgrade Jew. "I'm as

Yugoslavia-Israel Friendship
Serbia is the largest of
Yugoslavia's six republics, and
its Communist leadership has
used appeals to rampant Ser-
bian nationalism to win
unprecedented popularity,
while at the same time antago-
nizing other republics.
Jews who are concerned
about developments feel that
the Serbian nationalist author-
ities are trying to use expres-
sions of friendship with Jews
and Israel to win support for
Serbian interests in the out-
side world.
"It's all so transparent that
you need not be a genius to see
through it," said one Jewish
intellectual in Belgrade.
"The final idea is to get the
Jewish lobby to lobby for the
Serbs," he said. "This is to go
through the Jewish people
here and Jews abroad in the
United States to explain cer-
tain things happening here.
'We Trust The Jewish
The Serbs want to tell Jews
and Israel their side of the
story, to counter the criticism,
a senior Serbian official said.
He did not want to be quoted
by name.
"Friendship with the Jews is
sort of a collective national
identity of Serbs," the official
said. "When you feel that you
are in unpleasant circum-
stances, you feel for your old
"We trust the Jewish people
as people who have always
been friendly with the Serbs,
as we were victims together
and lived in peace alongside
each other," he said.
Throughout history, he said,
the Serbs considered several
peoples to be their enduring
friends: the Jews, the Russians
and the French, in particular.
How to react to these Ser-
bian initiatives has caused
some tensions in the Jewish
On the one hand, said Cadik
Danon, Yugoslavia's only
rabbi, "it's difficult to reject a
hand extended in friendship,
certainly in Serbia, where
there is a tradition."
On the other hand, in addi-
tion to the uneasiness felt by
some Jews in Belgrade, Jews
in other republics particu-
larly the active community in
Croatia distrust the Serbian
motives, as Croats generally
distrust the Serbs. Croatian
Jews tend to align themselves
politically with Croats.
One Jewish source who dis-
trusts the Serbian initiatives
predicted that everything
could backfire onto the Jews
"Consequences of this med-
dling are already evident," he
said. "Naturally, there are dis-
agreements between Jews
within Yugoslavia in the dif-
ferent regions. Ultimately, it
will boomerang back.
Diplomatic Ties
Meanwhile, there are some
indications that Yugoslavia's
federal government may even-
tually broaden relations with
Israel. Diplomatic links were
cut in 1967, but since then, the
two countries have maintained
commercial and cultural ties,
as well as cooperation in the
areas of sports and tourism.
The Yugoslav news media
have correspondents in Israel.
"It's either stubbornness or
misjudgment on the part of the
federal government not to
resume diplomatic relations,"
said a Jewish source. "They've
been heavily criticized in the
Yugoslav press for this."

Jews Leave USSR In Record
Numbers In '89
Figures released by the
World Jewish Congress show
that 71,509 Jews emigrated
from the Soviet Union in 1989,
the highest number ever.
Previous high for annual
emigration of Jews from the
Soviet Union was in 1979
when 51,320 left the USSR.
In December 8,540 Jews left
the Soviet Union, while the
highest monthly emigration
figure was registered in
November when 11,170 Soviet
Jews left the country.
Of the emigrants, 11,994
have settled in Israel, the most
since the early 1970's.
Lakeland Police
Refuse Klan Offer
Florida Regional Office of
the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith has urged the
Lakeland Police Department
to reject an offer by the Ku
Klux Klan to act as its "eyes
and ears" in gathering evi-
dence against drug dealers.
Responding to the ADL,
Lakeland Police Chief Ron
Nenner, said his department
would have nothing to do with
the Klan, and would "vigor-
ously pursue any violation by
the law" by Klan members.
ADL contacted Chief Nen-
ner following a report describ-
ing a "Krush Krack Kocaine"
initiative by Klan members. It
involved two incidents in
which Klansmen identified
themselves as police officers
while supposedly gathering
evidence regarding prostitu-
tion and narcotics in a predom-
inantly black area of the city.
The ADL said it was pleased
by the firm rejection of the
Klan by Chief Nenner.
Arthur Teitelbaum, South-
ern Area director of the ADL,
said "It is the height of hypo-
crisy for the Klan, an organiza-
tion which has a long record of
lawlessness and violence, to
offer its services on behalf of
law and order." He noted
should a Klan member commit
a violation based on racial bias,
it would violate Florida's
recently-enacted Hate Crimes
Act which mandates increased
penalties for such crimes.
The WJC reports that since
Oct. 1, when new American
immigration regulations came
into effect, a steadily increas-
ing percentage of Soviet Jew-
ish emigrants has settled in
Israel. In December 1989,
more than 40% of the total
emigrants came to Israel
3,500 out of 8,540 who left the
Soviet Union.
Israeli officials predict that
between 30,000 and 50,000
Soviet Jews will arrive in 1990
because of liberalized Soviet
emigration laws and the new
U.S. immigration regulations.
Canada Makes 'Get* Mandatory
By BEN KAYFETZ
TORONTO Canada has
amended its Divorce Act to
prevent the requirements of a
religious divorce from being
used as a "bargaining chip" in
civil divorce proceedings.
The new regulations are
aimed at abuses of the get,
which Jewish religious law
requires must be delivered by
the husband and accepted by
the wife.
Without a get, neither party
can remarry. Under the new
laws, neither one may get a
civil divorce in Canada until
the religious barriers to remar-
riage are removed.
"It was felt that the with-
holding of the religious divorce
has been used as a device to
obtain concessions from a
spouse for custody and access
to children or monetary sup-
port," Justice Minister Doug-
las Lewis explained.
Under the recent amend-
ments, "a spouse who tries to
use religious divorce in this
fashion would not be permitted
to present his or her case
before a civil court until the
barriers to remarriage are
removed," Lewis said.
The change was welcomed
by the Reform, Conservative
and Orthodox branches of
Judaism and the major Cana-
dian Jewish organizations.
A study by B'nai Brith Can-
ada found that from 1982 to
1985, some 200 to 300 couples
were involved in cases where
the get was used to try to
extract concessions in civil
divorce proceedings.

Schmeling Hid Jews After Kristallnacht
By TOM TUGEND
Former heavyweight cham-
pion Max Schmeling sheltered
two young Jewish brothers in
his apartment while a Nazi
mob raged outside, one of the
brothers recently told guests
at a party honoring the Ger-
man boxer.
Henri Lewin, now president
of the Sands Hotel in Las
Vegas, was a 14-year-old boy
in Berlin on Nov. 9, 1938,
when organized bands of Nazis
smashed Jewish stores, burned
synagogues and attacked Jews
during the infamous Kristall-
nacht, the Night of Broken
At a special tribute party at
the Sands for the now 84-year
old Schmeling, Lewin, with
tears in his eyes, recounted
what had happened. Pointing
to Schmeling, who was seated
at a table next to Mike Tyson,
the present heavyweight
champ, Lewin said:
"I'm going to tell you what
kind of champion Max Schmel-
ing is. Beginning on Nov. 9, for
four days, Max hid my older
brother Werner and me in his
Berlin apartment. He risked
everything for us. If we had
been found in his apartment, I
would not be here this evening
and neither would Max.
"The first day (of the riots),
Max didn't leave the apart-
ment. He told the front desk
that he was sick and not to let
anyone come up ... After four
days, Max felt it was safe to
take us to an apartment my
father owned in another part
of Berlin."
Lewin later said that he had
not publicly revealed the story
before, at Schmeling's
request. Even after Schmeling
agreed to attend the tribute in
Las Vegas, he asked Lewin not
to "glorify" him, Lewin said,
adding "he told me what he
had done for me and my
brother was 'doing the duty of
a man.' "
From his early days in Berlin
as a little known light-
middleweight boxer, Schmel-
ing had many Jewish friends
and, according to Lewin, con-
tinued to assist German Jews
even during World War II.
Levin recounted one particu-
lar incident when Schmeling's
American Jewish manager,
Joe Jacobs, came to Berlin in
1935. Jacobs had booked a
room at the Adlom, one of
Berlin's finest hotels, but was
told that the management
could not accommodate him.
When Schmeling, then Nazi
Germany's most idolized ath-
lete, heard about it, he went to
the authorities and warned
them that he would stop box-
ing if Jacobs didn't get his
room. The Adlon manager rap-
idly changed his mind.
During the same visit, Lewin
said, Jacobs decided to attend
services at the Fasanenstrasse
Synagogue to hear its charis-
matic rabbi, Joachim Prinz,
and Schmeling accompanied
his manager to the lobby of the
Relationship between the
Lewin family and Schmeling
began in the mid-19208, when
the boxer frequently stayed at
a hotel owned by Lewin's
father in the Berlin suburb of
Potsdam. The senior Lewin
also was proprietor of a fashi-
onable clothing store, called
The Prince of Wales, where
Schmeling bought his suits.
On June 12,1930, Schmeling
won the world heavyweight
crown in New York on a foul
from Jack Sharkey, and lost it
to the same fighter on a deci-
sion two years later.
However, Schmeling is best
known for his two dramatic
fights with Joe Louis. In 1936,
before Louis became cham-
pion, he suffered his first car-
eer defeat when Schmeling
scored a knockout.
Victory was headlined in the
Nazi press as "a victory for the
white race." Hitler had been
trumpeting Schmeling
throughout the 1930s as the
great Aryan warrior.
An angry Joe Louis had his
revenge two years later when,
as world champion, he knocked
out the 33 year old Schmeling
in the first round at New
York's Yankee Stadium on
June 22, 1938.
Schmeling served with a
German paratroop unit during
World War II and Louis
served in the American Army,
but after 1945, the two champs
got in touch with each other
and developed a lasting friend-
In the post-war years,
Schmeling became wealthy as
the Coca-Cola distributor for
West Germany while Louis
lost his ring earnings and
found himself deep in debt to
the Internal Revenue Service.
"Schmeling helped support
Louis for 20 years," Lewin
Said, and when Louis died in
1981, Lewin received a phone
call from Schmeling. Max
asked me to attend the funeral
and give Joe's widow a sub-
stantial sum of money, which I
did," said Lewin.
that, either."
Lewin decided to override
Schmeling's request and go
public at the Sands party, he
said, because "Max is 84,
though in excellent shape, and
I am 67, and I wasn't sure how
much longer both of us would
Shortly after Kristallnacht,
Lewin and his brother were
Eicked up by the police and
eld in prison for six days, but
then released.
The Lewin family decided it
was time to get out of Ger-
many and settled in Shanghai.
David Lewin, the father,
started managing a hotel, but
after Pearl Harbor and the
city's conquest by the Japan-
ese army, the Lewis were int-
erned in a camp for the dura-
tion of the war. They survived,
but almost all their relatives
perished in Nazi concentration
In 1946, the family moved to
San Francisco and went back
into the hotel business. Henri
Lewin eventually became vice
president of the Las Vegas
Hilton and eight months ago
was named president of the

Tourism Consul Expands Market
By ELLEN ANN STEIN
Jewuk Floridian Staff Writer
Dvora Ganani is tapping
some new sources in order to
fuel Israel's number one indus
try, tourism.
The AFL-CIO, priests, min-
isters, rabbis, politicians
these are some of the groups
Ganani is trying to lure to the
Holy Land.
Four months into her job as
Israeli consul for tourism in
Miami, Ganani's strategy is
beginning to take shape, and
Like a new machine that is
slowly fired up, the initial roar
is starting to sound more like a
smooth hum.
A native of Israel, she was
born on kibbutz Kfar Masarik
near Haifa. After serving in
the Israel Defense Force, she
received degrees from Tech-
nion and Hebrew University
and began her career as an
assistant spokesman for Jeru-
salem mayor Teddy Kollek.
Ganani was the first woman
in Israel to be a government
spokesperson. She worked for
the ministries of finance, tour-
ism, health and justice.
A divorced mother of two,
Ganani brought her teen-age
son and daughter to Miami
Beach and enrolled them in the
Rabbi Alexander S. Gross
Hebrew Academy of Greater
She travels frequently to
various cities and towns in her
region which includes Florida,
Louisiana and Mississippi.
Although she is based in
Miami, the Jewish community
here is not her biggest target.
"I can't push any more in
Miami, she says. "They know
about Israel."
Ganani is promoting Israel
to Jews only 18 percent of
American Jews have been to
Israel, she says. But she is
attempting to reach the non-
Jewish community on a
broader base than her prede-
'Israel is a holy place for the
Jews, Christians and Mos-
lems," Ganani says
So on one hand, Ganani pre-
sents Israel as a tourism des-
tination: the wonderful miner-
als and spas at the Dead Sea,
the scuba diving at Eilat, the
mountainous charm of the Gal-
ilee, the port town of Haifa
and the New York-like Tel
On the other hand, she sells
"the holiness" of the country:
'the bible can be the best
guide," she says.
Ganani has sent 2,000 per-
sonal letters to priests and
ministers in her area. She says
State Sen. John Grant of
Tamps ^* agreed to lead a
delegation of ministers on
their first mission to Israel.
Ganani is also planning to
meet with local Hispanic legis-
lators to organize missions
within the Cuban-American
Her strategy also includes
"incentive tours" or going to
organizations and unions such
as the AFL-CIO and suggest-
ing the merits of group visits
to Israel.
In turn, Israel's tourism
industry is making a visit more
economically appealing.
Gidon Patt, Minister of
Tourism, was successful in his
push for the hotel association
to lower its prices by 25 per-
cent, she says.
The intifada, or Palestinian
uprising, had an initial affect
on tourism, but Patt has main-
tained that it should not deter
tourism. He argues that the
main areas of danger are along

Ganani's Florida campaign
is focusing more on the central
and northern portions of the
state. She recently met with
rabbis in the Tampa area. And
she says large missions to
Israel are already being
planned by Jewish communit-
ies in Del ray Beach, Tampa
and Tallahassee.
These missions are following
the pattern set first by Phila-
delphia and now the Miami
Jewish Federation, which is
planning to send a group of
1,000 to Israel in March.
Ganani is seeking even
further connections and sug-
gestions for boosting Israeli
"I need help from the Jews. I
need more support from the
communities," says Ganani.
Ganani says she has received
substantial help from State
Rep. Elaine Bloom, whose sup-
port, particularly in Tallahas-
see, has been "just gorgeous."
"To come to the country is
better than anything. We want
to see our brothers in America
on Israeli streets."
Israel's borders. And Ganani
points out, "Israel for 40 years
had all kinds of battles. We are
a tourism destination and we
have to show the world what
we are."
Ganani recently sheparded
an agreement between Florida
and Israel that will give Florid-
ians a glimpse of Israel's artis-
tic side and hopefully extend to
an exchange of artists.
Tourism figures, down in
1988, are showing signs of a
rebound. American tourism

JNF Role In Israel Widening
By ELLEN ANN STEIN
Jewish Floridian Staff Writer
Dr. Samuel I. Cohen, the
_ espected rabbi, educator and
executive vice president of
Jewish National Fund of
America since 1977, put down
his cup of coffee and pointed to
the date on the morning paper.
December 29, 1989, it read.
An historic date, he told The
Jewish Floridian during an
interview at a Miami Beach
On that date 88 years earlier
- Dec. 29, 1901 the JNF
was founded at the Fifth Zion-
ist Congre&s in Basel, Switzer-
land. Its purpose was to pur-
chase lana and hold it in trust
for the Jewish people's return
to their ancient homeland.
Over the years, the JNF's
role expanded from land recla-
mation to land development.
Now the sole agency for land
development, JNF, and its
Israeli counterpart Keren Kay-
emeth Leisrael, is responsible
for planting and maintaining
| forests throughout Israel and
building parks and outdoor
recreational and tourist facilit-
It is also charged with con-
structing roads that connect
rural communities with major
highways, preparing land for
new communities and indus-
tries, developing irrigation
systems and water reservoirs
and bringing agricultural life
I to the dusty Negev.
Unfortunately, JNF has
| received major attention in the
past two years because of its
campaigns to counter the ter-
rorist-sparked arsons that

thousands of trees that were

Unfortunately, JNF has received major
attention in me past two years because of
its campaigns to counter the terrorist-
sparked arsons that have destroyed
hundreds of thousands of trees that were
planted with JNF contributions.
"There hasn't been a day in
the last year or so where there
haven't been a few fires
reported. The assumption is
the large majority have been
arson," Cohen said.
But there is a silver-lining in
the arson-fed clouds above
Israel's forests. JNF's emer-
gency campaign helped Israel
acquire 14 new fire engines.
In addition, unprecedented
cooperation from the U.S. For-
estry division, has given Israel
a better strategy to fight the
fires, Cohen saw.
According to a November
report given at the JNF
administrative committee
meeting, damage from fires
has been reduced by 75 per-
The report said that in 1988
there were 3,000 fires, $40
million in damage and a loss of
1.2 million trees. In 1989,
there were 1,200 fires, $15
million in damage and a loss of
410,000 trees.
Until 1987, the year the
Palestinian uprising broke out,
there had never been fires of
any significant level or scope
in Israel. Caught off guard,
Israel simply had not been
prepared for the fight.
This deficiency resulted in
what Cohen called "an historic
connection" between the U.S.
and Israel. Within the past 18
months, four delegations of
U.S. Forest Service experts
have visited Israel and three
delegations from the KKL
have visited America.
Cohen announced that Dale
Robertson, chief of the U.S.
Forest Service is planning to
visit Israel for the first time in
May, accompanied by a staff of

ment in barren areas, called
"dedesertification," has

see whether Israel's desert
development can have a
broader application to other
developing countries.
With world attention
increasingly focusing on envir-
onmental issues, such as the
global warming trend, the
JNF's longtime work is begin-
ning to gain respect and atten-
tion, Cohen said.

was growing up, "I looked at
Israel as a small and strug-
gling state and I had a lot of
respect. I went through the
whole ethos of the Exodus, the
book and the movie, and so
forth, but I don't think that it
was in the forefront of my
But when he became a born-
again Christian in the early
1970s, "The Bible became
exciting. Israel became real
and I took a lot more interest
in it," he said.
"Our positions are not necessarily governed by
what they say, and we don't attribute our
positions to mem, but we want to make sure that
they are basically supportive," said Hellman. He
expects to be able to represent them at
congressional hearings discussing issues
affecting Israel.
On Hellman's first visit to
Israel in 1976, he met with
Israel's environmental protec-
tion service and accepted an
offer to work in Israel to help
prepare new environmental
regulations and treaties. He
ended up staying seven years.
Hellman said CIPAC is
needed because there has been
"a stalemate achieved by the
Kro-PLO and pro-Arab forces
ere in the United States."
It was wrong this fall "for
the President to take weeks to
decide whether he really
wanted to meet with (Israeli)
Prime Minister (Yitzhak) Sha-
mir," he said. "Things like this
would not have happened in
years past."
Among the top items on
CIPAC's agenda are to end the
U.S. dialogue with the PLO
and to encourage Secretary of
State James Baker to visit
Hellman said that Baker,
who is trying to gain support
for Israel's May 14 election
plan for Palestinians in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip,
"will soon see that that's a

that if elections process
doesn't work out, the United
States will "perhaps to some
extent withdraw support for
CIPAC also plans to speak
out on Soviet Jewry issues and
against anti-Semitism. "We
think that the Holocaust
should be remembered and
that those who perpetrated it
should be apprehended, should
be tried and should be pun-
ished," he said.
Hellman is organizing a
CIPAC study mission to Israel
this spring tor 50 U.S. Chris-
tian leaders. He is trying to
encourage delegates to Chris-
tian convention groups meet-
ing in Washington, such as the
National Religious Broadcas-
ters, to lobby lawmakers on
behalf of Israel.
Hellman reiected the notion
that conservative Christian
support for Israel as an anti-
communist force in the Middle
East will decline because of a
diminishing Soviet threat.
He said that Christian sup-
port for Israel and its holding
of the West Bank and Gaza
Strip "will outlast" support
from those who support it for
geopolitical or ethnic concerns.
"Many Christians just
believe God gave this land to
the Jews and that the Jews,
and in this case the Israelis...
ought not give it over to
others," he said.

Cohen said.
Sometimes though, Cohen
said the public needs to be
reminded that "JNF is more
than trees." Of its $75 million
annual budget, more than 50
percent has nothing to do with
afforestation, but rather with
land reclamation.
The Negev will take on
increasing importance.
Emphasizing the need for new
housing that is especially
prompted by new Soviet olim,
Cohen called the Negev
Israel's "new frontier."
The Negev makes up 60 per-
cent of Israel's surface but
holds only some six percent of
the population.
Some professors are con-
vinced there is enough water

Cohen. "You can't buy it, can't

Horsch, Michael (1871-1949)
Michael Horsch (1871-1949), an outstanding elder and leader of the Mennonite churches of the Badischer Verband, South Germany, was born of a long line of elders and preachers of two old Swiss-Baden Mennonite families, which settled in Giebelstadt near Würzburg, Germany, soon after 1800 (Horsch and Landes). Born the son of Elder Jakob Horsch, 15 January 1871, he grew up on the estate at Gelchsheim rented by his farmer father, which he with his mother took over at the death of his father when he was only 17. The rest of his life Michael Horsch was a farmer, purchasing the large estate of Hellmannsberg near Ingolstadt where he lived from 1914 to his death. He was married to Maria Schmutz in 1898; one of their 10 children is Elder Hellmut Horsch of Ingolstadt. Michael was ordained preacher of the Giebelstadt-Würzburg congregation in 1909 and elder of the Ingolstadt congregation in 1923.
Michael Horsch, though without formal higher education, displayed a remarkable breadth of interest, vision, and ability as a leader. Conservative in theology, and a devoted Mennonite, he was not denominationally narrow nor bound by tradition. He founded (January 1922) and led as chairman until his death the South German Mennonite relief organization known as Christenpflicht. He was a prime mover in the founding of the Bibelheim Thomashof near Durlach. He was an active promoter of the deaconess work and a supporter of missions and evangelism. Many Bible conferences were held at Hellmannsberg. He died 13 October 1949 and was buried at Hellmannsberg.

Hi there,
I have enjoyed nursing my son, and he loves it! However, I am feeling more and more exhausted. He is nursing a bit less during the day ( upon waking, before nap, for a loooong time after nap, and at bedtime to go to sleep). The thing is, we have co-slept since day 1 and he nurses all night long. Seriously. I thought we could try moving him to a toddler bed in our room...well, I am even more tired. He goes to bed around 8:30. Good....I get an hour or so alone time, clean up, hang out with hubby. He wakes up around 10:30/11. Nurses, back to sleep. Wakes up 12:30, nurses, sleeps. Wakes up 1:15, nurses, sleep. Wakes up 1:30, same. Wakes up 1:45 (I am ready to cry), I talk to him and lay with him and rub his back. He falls asleep. I go to bed. 2:15, he is up and walking over to our bed. My husband gets up to get him and he freaks out, screaming and crying. So, last night, he came back to bed. Slept from 2:30-7:30 with me, nursing the rest of the night. I am not exactly sure just how much, except for being woken up by "other side" here and there.
My shoulders and hips ache due to sleeping on my side with him, in spite of flipping sides. I just really want to night wean. Is there a gentle way to do this?? I hate to hear him cry and be so upset. And yet, I will be a better mommy if I could ever sleep through even one night!
Thanks for your help!

THE LAW MOVES SLOWLY: In a case stretching back to 2004, Gucci won a legal dispute with Prada earlier this week as the Court of Florence determined that Prada's allegations of tortious interference were unfounded in Gucci's 2001 acquisition of Italian footwear manufacturer Regain, a company based in Montegranaro.
In 2004, Prada filed suit against both Guccio Gucci and Gucci Group Italia Holding, asking for 25 million euros, or about $34 million at current exchange, in damages. Following its decision, the court determined that Prada must cover all litigation fees and expenses related to the case, which were not revealed.

ATHENS—Two former long-time employees of Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department (TPWD) will be inducted into the Texas Freshwater
Fishing Hall of Fame in Athens June 5.
Honorees will be the late Edward W. Bonn of Denison and Philip
Durocher of Austin.
Bonn was one of three fisheries biologists hired in 1946 by what
later became TPWD. As many new reservoirs were built to serve
Texas' growing population, a sport fish able to utilize open-water
habitat was needed. Under Bonn's leadership and direction,
experiments were carried out with striped bass, a marine species,
to develop ways to stock them into Texas lakes.
Bonn also worked to develop methods to cross striped bass with
native white bass to produce hybrid stripers. Both species now
furnish recreation and food for large numbers of anglers.
Bonn was also responsible for training many biologists and
technicians who came to work for TPWD as the department grew. "Ed
was always a very thorough and exacting biologist who was so
influential to me in my early training," said retired fisheries
biologist Charles Inman. "He loved fishery management and
certainly helped make Texas fishing what it is today."
Also inducted into the Hall of Fame will be Philip Durocher, who
served as the director of TPWD's Inland Fisheries Division for 19
years and retired at the end of 2009.
Durocher went to work at TPWD as a research specialist in 1974 and
served as chief of research and management from 1984 until he
became Inland Fisheries division director in 1991.
Durocher's most visible contribution was shifting the philosophy
of fisheries management from one of maximum sustained yield to one
of optimum sustained yield, especially regarding largemouth bass.
Maximum sustained yield emphasized harvest, and largemouth bass
were viewed primarily as a food fish. Durocher recognized that
adopting a system of selective harvest that allowed bigger fish to
live and reproduce would enhance the bass fishery and make
largemouth bass a sport fish, increasing the economic value of the
Under his leadership Texas adopted a statewide 14-inch minimum
size limit and five-fish daily bag limit for largemouth bass in
1985. From that point management practices were refined and
tailored to fit specific reservoirs. The result was a largemouth
bass fishery that is generally acknowledged to be the best in the
nation and a vital part of the Texas economy, generating some $2
billion in economic impact each year.
Durocher was also instrumental in attracting top fisheries
professionals from across the nation to manage all Texas fisheries
using a science-based approach. He recognized the need to
modernize the TPWD hatchery system and worked for the creation of
the Freshwater Fishing Stamp to replace one aging hatchery and
make improvements to the others.
Also under his leadership, a trophy bass fishery was created at
Lake Fork, the Neighborhood Fishin' Program was established, a
partnership was forged with Toyota to create the Toyota Texas Bass
Classic, and a series of studies were carried out that proved the
economic value of fisheries in Texas.
Videos about the honorees can be viewed in the News section of
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's YouTube channel.
Two other individuals will be recognized at the awards banquet
with Honorable Mention plaques, professional angler Lonnie Stanley
of Huntington and the late Allen Crise of Glen Rose, a long-time
fly-fisher whose passion was teaching others the art of casting.

About Matthew Monteith
In his photographs, Matthew Monteith explores the line between reality and the idyllic, paying special attention to the various ways people isolate themselves, whether in cars or institutions such as hospitals and classrooms. Citing artists Andreas Gursky, Vik Muniz, and Thomas Demand as influences, Monteith is interested in exploring concepts of photographic truth and the constructed image. In his series "Czech Eden", which consists of photographs taken while on a Fulbright Scholarship from 2001–02, he creates contemporary reflections on the idealized world of postcard imagery and found photographs. Even when focused on particular places, his brilliantly colored and detailed images capture global desires for knowledge and utopia, as well as speaking to universal issues like consumption.

Stock index futures pointed to a higher open on Monday after last week's steep losses on upbeat economic data from China over the weekend, though concerns remained about the growth outlook in the United States and Europe.
Stocks also should receive a lift from merger news. Precision Castparts Corp offered to buy Titanium Metals Corp for $2.9 billion while Leucadia National Corp agreed to buy investment bank Jefferies Group for $3.6 billion.
Continue Reading Below
Shares of Titanium surged 43 percent to $16.56 before the bell while Jefferies climbed 19 percent to $16.94.
Trading volume is expected to be light, with the U.S. bond market and government offices closed for the Veterans Day holiday.
The S&P 500 fell 2.4 percent last week, the worst week for the index since June, closing below its 200-day moving average for the first time in five months. That level is a measure of the market's long-term trend, and staying below it could portend further losses ahead.
Those losses were partly propelled by concerns over the fiscal cliff, a combination of government spending cuts and tax increases set to go into effect early next year unless Congress acts to change the law before then. Though most consider it unlikely that no deal will be reached, analysts fear going over the cliff could push the economy back into recession.
"If the cliff were to occur, it would be very devastating for the economy, which is why it is hard to think that last week was much of an over reaction," said Oliver Purshe, president at Gary Goldberg Financial Services in Suffern, New York, adding that the odds of going over were "very low."
Data showed over the weekend that China's export growth climbed to a five-month high above 11 percent, beating expectations and adding to recent data suggesting the country's seven straight quarters of slowing economic growth have ended.
"Any bit of positive news from China will swing things upward here," Pursche said. "There's a little bit of pent-up desire to bounce back today."
Also overseas, the Greek parliament on Sunday approved an austerity budget for next year, a necessary step to unblock a new tranche of credit from the European Union and International Monetary Fund before the government runs out of cash. Still, investors remain concerned about whether the EU and IMF will agree to send the next tranche.
S&P 500 futures rose 4.1 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures added 36 points and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 13 points.
Apple Inc rose 0.8 percent to $551.20 in premarket trading after the company announced a global patent settlement with HTC Corp <2498.TW>, as well as a 10-year licensing agreement. Apple shares have been under pressure recently.
Homebuilder D.R. Horton Inc reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat expectations, helped by a jump in orders. Shares gained 3.2 percent to $21.25 in premarket trading.
According to Thomson Reuters data through Friday, of the 449 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings, 63.3 percent have topped expectations, but only 38.2 percent of companies have topped revenue expectations, well below the 62 percent average since 2002.
U.S. stocks rose on Friday, helped by strong consumer sentiment data, but hardly made a dent in the week's losses as investors turned their attention from the presidential election to the coming negotiations over the fiscal cliff.

I AM SAC Proud
What is the Foundations of Excellence®?
With the guidance of the
John N. Gardner Institute, San Antonio College has embarked upon a self-study called
Foundations of Excellence® (FoE). SAC's Foundations of Excellence® campaign, From
the Ground Up, will unite nearly 100 faculty and staff members from
around the College to evaluate all aspects of SAC's campus environment as it
supports and serves transfer-bound students.
During the first year, the FoE Task Force
will produce a recommendation for institutional improvement, specifically
focusing on student completion and successful transfer. In the second year, the
Task Force will lead the implementation of the action plan. After the initial two
years, adjustments will continue to be made until the plan has been actualized.
The campaign theme, From
the Ground Up, is unique to SAC. It expresses the charge of the FoE
Task Force, and is led by staff and faculty volunteers. During the fall semester
of the 2012-2013 academic year, the Task Force will survey the staff/faculty
and students and use that data to prepare an action plan for institutional
change and improvement. Volunteers are encouraged to become part of this
campaign by being on one of the nine Dimension Committees which will explore
different facets of the College.
Since February 2003, the Foundations of
Excellence® project has involved over 300 two- and four-year
colleges and universities across the nation. The Foundations of Excellence®
project is designed to help campuses evaluate and improve the overall
experience of first-year or transfer students. SAC will focus on the transfer
student's experience, and learn how we may better serve our students.
more about the Foundations of Excellence® program.
From The Ground Up Campaign
SAC's campaign theme is "From
the Ground Up."
The methodology behind
this theme is that the Foundations of Excellence® project at SAC is for
the people, by the people. Led by faculty and staff representatives, not
administration, the Task Force aims to unite the College in an effort to help
make SAC even better from the ground up.
Employees within any level
of the College are invited to become a part of the FoE Task Force. All faculty
and staff are able to follow the progress of the campaign on our internal
website. Please refer to the FoE workspace on Sharepoint for more information about the status of the
FoE Task Force
The FoE project calls for 10
committees: the Steering Committee and nine committees tackling one of the
Foundational Dimensions®.
The Dimension Committees will each have two co-chairs, one from Student Affairs
and one from Academic Affairs. The Steering Committee is comprised of each of
the committee co-chairs and the five FoE Launch Team members.

Is there anything better than a big bowl of pasta sitting in front of you at dinner? Absolutely. A pasta recipe that doesn't take all day to make, you playing the role of the gentle old Italian grandmother in a faded apron stirring and stirring the sauce. Don't get me wrong—sometimes I want my pasta fix, and there's no end to my devotion (read: being chained to the stove). But when I want a quick and easy pasta recipe, there's always Ethan's Stowell's Gnocchetti with Pancetta, Chanterelles, and Mint.
This pasta recipe is a perfect summer-ebbing-into-autumn dish, when chanterelles are at their finest. You'll notice the recipe also calls for pancetta, which is unsmoked Italian bacon and lends a porky goodness to the gnocchetti.–Ethan Stowell
LC Getting to Know Gnocchetti Note
Not to be confused with gnocchi, gnocchetti (nyo-KAY-tee) is a small pasta shape that, not surprisingly, resembles its namesake potato dumpling. If you don't happen to have gnocchetti on hand, use any similarly shaped pasta, such as orecchiette, cavatelli, or gemelli. Or heck, just swap in whatever pasta you happen to have on hand, whether penne, farfalle, even broken spaghetti.
Gnocchetti with Pancetta, Chanterelles, and Mint
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- 1/2 pound dried gnocchetti sardi, or other similarly shaped pasta (see LC Getting to Know Gnocchetti Pasta Note above)
- 3/4 pound fresh chanterelle mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 pound pancetta (or, in a pinch, lightly smoked bacon), cut into small dice
- 3 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- Pinch of chile flakes
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving
- 1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchetti and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions suggest.
- 2. While the gnocchetti is cooking, slice off the tough end of each mushroom stem and clean the mushroom caps. Quarter any large mushrooms, leave any tiny ones whole, and halve the rest.
- 3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it is golden but not too crisp and some of its fat has been rendered, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 or 6 minutes or so. When the mushrooms are golden brown, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chile flakes.
- 4. When the gnocchetti is ready, drain and add it to the mushroom-pancetta mixture, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water. If the mixture seems dry, add a couple of tablespoons of cooking water. Season with salt and pepper, add the mint and parsley, and toss. Tip the gnocchetti into a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Using a vegetable peeler, shave a few large curls of Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. Bring the gnocchetti to the table with haste.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

The nightshade family includes tomatoes, potatoes, peppers – and thousands of eggplant varietals that have been cultivated all over the world for centuries. Originally hailing from India, eggplant is widely used all over Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Botanically it's considered a berry, and like berries eggplants come in many shapes and sizes. In the United States the most commonly grown variety is the Globe Eggplant, which is large, deep purple-black, and glossy, so this image is a natural eggplant association for most Americans. But many early 18th-century eggplant cultivars are creamy white or pale yellow and are smaller and rounder compared to the commonly-known modern globe, giving rise to the name of "eggplant."
But the world of eggplant is populated by a variety of shapes, colors and tastes. Thai eggplant are tiny, no bigger than a crabapple, and their bright streaks of green make them look almost like a Green Zebra tomato! Japanese eggplant are long, skinny and dark purple; Chinese eggplant are a similar long shape but possess a bright lavender color. Both varieties cook quickly and are great on the grill or in a stir-fry.
Calliope eggplant are small, teardrop-shaped and striped white and bright purple. They're very sweet and great for grilling, roasting or stuffing.
Listada is an Italian varietal that is striped like the Calliope, but larger and more oblong.
Rosa Bianca is an heirloom Sicilian varietal, large and bulbous, fading from deep purple to lavender to white, and super meaty, sweet, creamy – my personal favorite for Eggplant Parmesan!
Ratatouille, moussaka, caponata, eggplant parmesan, baba ghanoush…eggplant takes well to a myriad of cooking techniques and is at home in an almost endless variety of dishes. It isn't great raw – it can be somewhat bitter and spongy-textured (the eggplant is a relative of tobacco as well; its bitterness comes from nicotinoid alkaloids) – but cooking coaxes out those meaty and creamy attributes. Like a sponge, eggplant will absorb any flavors (or oils) to which it is exposed, making it a great candidate for stews. Eggplant is often used in Southeast Asian curries or spicy Indian chutneys and pickles. It can be roasted whole in its skin and then scooped out and mixed with other vegetables (think onion, tomato, chiles), or mixed with tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice to make baba ghanoush. Pickled, stuffed, fried, roasted…the possibilities are constrained only by the limits of imagination.
As I mentioned above, Rosa Bianca eggplant is great for Eggplant Parmesan. Here's a great recipe you can try using ingredients you can get at Bi-Rite Market.
Eggplant Parm is a staple of Italian-American cuisine, served at almost every red sauce joint in the USA. I first became enamored of this dish while living in New York City during college, where I had it between sesame rolls as a hero or over spaghetti with marinara. It's a hearty, filling dish, and a beautiful way to showcase the meatiness of eggplant. Though it's served year-round at many restaurants, I like to wait for local heirloom eggplant; Full Belly Farm's Rosa Bianca eggplant, a Sicilian heirloom varietal, is my absolute favorite in this dish. It's a large, bulbous type, with skin blushing from deep to lavender purple to white. It looks like a watercolor, and has no bitterness and a thin skin. Any larger eggplant varietal will work, such as Globe or Barbarella, another Italian heirloom variety that we are growing at Bi-Rite Farm in Sonoma!
Traditionally, Eggplant Parmesan is made with thick slices of eggplant that are fried (sometimes battered, floured or breaded and sometimes not), and then layered with tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, basil, and (sometimes) hard-boiled egg slices. The eggplant can also be grilled, broiled or baked for a lighter version.
Here are two variations that I like to make. The first is a Spiced Eggplant Parmesan, made with a little garam masala in the breading and ginger and chiles in the tomato sauce. The second is a lighter version I came up with during last week's heat wave, a bit more fit for a hot summer day than the traditional version.
Spiced Eggplant Parmesan
Serves 4
- Basic Fried Eggplant
- 2-3 large eggplant, such as Rosa Bianca, Barbarella or Globe
- Kosher salt, pepper, dried herbs such as oregano, thyme; garam masala for the spiced version
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 tablespoons milk, water, or buttermilk
- 1 ½ cups Panko breadcrumbs
- Canola, peanut or other neutral oil for frying
Wash the eggplant, peel if desired (I don't, usually, unless the skin is very thick), and cut into thick 1-inch rounds. Place in a strainer over a bowl or sink. Salt liberally on both sides, rubbing the salt on a little to make sure it's coated. Set aside to drain for 1 hour while you prep the rest. The salt helps draw out excess water, to prevent your parm from getting soggy when fried. It also seasons and tenderizes the eggplant, and draws out any bitterness that might be present.
Set up three shallow bowls or pie plates, with a clean plate or tray at the end. Put the flour in one, add a big pinch of salt, some pepper, and a big pinch of garam masala or any other spices you want. Whisk it. Crack the eggs into the second bowl, whisk with enough milk or water to loosen slightly, and a pinch of salt. Put the breadcrumbs into the third, add salt and any other seasonings you're using (about 1 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp dried herbs for the spiced version).
Press on the eggplant lightly and brush off any excess salt (most of it drains away with the water). Dip into flour, flip and roll around to coat it on all sides. Shake off and pat lightly to remove excess. Next, dip it in the egg mixture, flip and shake off excess (tip: use one hand only to dip into the wet ingredients and keep one dry; monster-fingers form very quickly!). Last, dip the eggplant into the breadcrumbs, patting them lightly on both sides to make sure it gets an even coat. Roll it around on its side, then shake lightly and place on a tray or platter. This can be done ahead of time – bread it all and store covered in the fridge until ready to fry.
To fry: heat up a cast-iron skillet or another pan with an inch or so of canola oil. You want it to be fairly hot but not smoking; the eggplant will cool down the oil a lot when it goes in, and if it gets too cold your eggplant will absorb tons of oil and become greasy and heavy. If it's too hot, the breading will burn before the eggplant cooks fully. To test it, drop a little piece of the breading in. It should bubble and float right to the top. Drop the eggplant slices in gently, 4-5 at a time, so that they still have room to float around. Fry for 3-5 minutes on the first side, until golden brown, then flip and fry the other side for a few minutes. Keep moving them around and checking them to get an even brown; you might have to flip back and forth a few times. Remove to a tray lined with paper towels. Season with a little salt and pepper while still hot and cut one open to see how it's cooked – it should be creamy, not spongy. If it's not fully cooked, turn your oil down a bit and let them go a few more minutes, or finish in the oven.
For Spiced Eggplant Parm:
Layer fried eggplant with spiced tomato sauce (your favorite recipe, just add a teaspoon of garam masala, a knob of minced ginger and a little fresh chile with the onions and garlic), fresh mozzarella (I'm obsessed with Point Reyes Mozz right now; it's cultured so it has a little twang and a little salt from the brine), grated parmesan cheese, and torn basil. Bake or broil until the cheese is melty. Finish with more grated parm and fresh basil.
For Summertime Eggplant Parm:
Arrange the fried eggplant on a platter, alternating with sliced fresh mozzarella and grated parm, or put a ball of burrata in the middle for an extra-special treat. Chop up a mix of heirloom and cherry tomatoes, toss with olive oil, basil, salt & balsamic and spoon over the fried eggplant and cheese. Finish with lots of fresh basil and olive oil. Totally untraditional but a really refreshing take on it, which makes sense since eggplant comes around mid-summer.

How we work. How we lead.
We know our culture matters in how we run the business, how we go to market, and how we lead each other. It describes what we care about, the things in which we're willing to invest and the rules that define us as a team.
Our culture is defined by our values and made real every day by how we work and lead. We know our culture is the foundation for all we've achieved, and for all the success ahead of us. This is our culture code. #CultureCode.
What we value.Our top culture attributes that drive the company's success include:
- Customers: We believe our relationships with customers are the ultimate differentiator and the foundation for our success.
- Winning together: We believe in and value our people. We perform better, are smarter, and have more fun working as a team than as individuals.
- Innovation: We believe our ability to innovate and cultivate breakthrough thinking is an engine for growth, success and progress.
- Results: We believe in being accountable to an exceptional standard of excellence and performance.
- Integrity: We believe integrity must always govern our fierce desire to win.
What we expect from our people matters.
We believe that how we define what we expect from our people, how we equip and support them to achieve it, and how we measure and reward them for doing so is fundamental to our success and the longevity of our culture.
How we put customers first
|We always:
• Listen and treat every interaction as an opportunity to create a raving fan and a future business opportunity.
• Work knowing there are only two jobs in our company: those who serve our customers and those who support them.
• Celebrate team members who do amazing things for our customers.
• Find solutions that help our customers and lead them to a better future.
We never:
• Take our customer relationships for granted, especially our most loyal customers.
• Make our customers an afterthought in our decisions.
• Assume a customer relationship is someone else's job.
• Create bureaucracy or complexity for customers.
|We always:
• Win and lose as a team.
• Are eager to collaborate and have the courage to openly challenge and debate the things that matter.
• Respect and value our differences and see a diverse and inclusive workforce as a strength.
• Recognize and celebrate achievement and success.
We never:
• Make the company our battleground or put our self-interest ahead of the company or our customers.
• Undermine decisions once they are made.
• Work in isolation or fail to consider the impact of our work on other parts of the company.
|We always:
• Listen to our people, our customers and our partners as a source of ideas and creative thinking.
• Cultivate our entrepreneurial drive as a way to bring breakthrough thinking to our company, our customers and industry.
• Remain flexible, agile and willing to change.
We never:
• Waste time or resources on things that customers won't value.
• Allow our competitors to outperform, disrupt or displace us.
• Let a fear of failure stop us from taking smart risks, thinking big and acting bold.
|We always:
• Measure our success by outperforming the market and our competition. We enjoy beating them and it inspires us.
• Are accountable, and persevere in the pursuit of our commitments. We do what we say.
• Lead with energy, optimism and a can-do spirit.
• Think and act strategically, balancing short and long-term performance.
We never:
• Assume that only people with leadership titles or positions can lead.
• Invent excuses or blame others for our performance.
• Rest on past success or accept mediocrity.
• Fail to use data or consider facts and alternatives in our decision making.
|We always:
• Play to win, the right way, every day.
• Show courage and speak up to safeguard our personal, team and Dell brands.
• Pride ourselves on being honest, transparent and trustworthy.
• Contribute to the advancement of human progress in the communities and world in which we work and live.
We never:
• Compromise on our integrity, EVER, even under pressure.
• Tolerate disrespect, fear or coercion.
• Turn our head or make excuses when it comes to ethics.
• Fail to live by the Dell code of conduct.
How we lead matters.
There are some who believe that when it comes to leadership, results are all that matter. There are others who believe that standing for the right things is what counts. At Dell we believe the best leaders do both. They have the competence to ensure they and others succeed, backed by the character to do it right.
This type of leadership is something you believe in and it is something you choose to do. It is not a gift or something you are born to. It is not a title and doesn't come with promotion. Leadership is about inspiring others to follow. It is a practice and a discipline. Leadership is a choice bounded by what you believe, and when we believe and do the right things we can make a positive difference anywhere in our lives. How we lead matters. This is how we lead at Dell.
We work hard to build partnerships of trust in all our endeavors. We know that strong relationships bring not only great business success, but great personal fulfillment.
We recognize that ambition, energy, and grit are rare and difficult to coach. We cultivate these qualities in ourselves and in others, but bound our ambition with a strong desire to do the right thing.
We carefully define success, and are relentless about communicating that vision in terms that are simple, vivid, and compelling to our global team. We know why we want to achieve something is as important as what we want to achieve. We provide the context for our decisions and make clear how they serve the company and our customers.
We are confident in our ability to get things done and take on challenges, but we temper that confidence with the knowledge that comes with experience. We recognize we are not always right and not always the smartest person in the room, and we welcome feedback, take responsibility for our shortcomings, and know our successes are shared.
We know that leadership is about how we succeed and is especially about how we help others succeed. We care about the effect our leadership has on the people we lead. We invest in them, develop them, and do all we can to help them achieve their aspirations and do their best for Dell and the customers we serve.
