Myths and memes on the Middle East
l The backstory is
convoluted, as is often
the case in comic book
mythology. Briefly,
though, the title
character of Angela,
Queen Of Hel, meets
her long-dead grandfather, Bor, father of
Odin.
Bor turns out to be
a deeply unpleasant
individual, in the
words of BleedingCool.

so rather than transcribe his dialogue, the comic book blacks out the actual words and
instead puts a summary in brackets. Such as: [A LOT OF MISOGYNIST FILTH]
And in the speech balloon of interest to this page, [UNSOLICITED OPINIONS ON
ISRAEL???]
Hmm.
Okay, were not exactly sure what to make of it.
But comic books fans with time on their hands knew what to make of it: a series of
memes in which unsolicited opinions on Israel play a key role in comic book events.

AT THE MOVIES:
Race depicts
career of
Jesse Owens
Race is the first
dramatic film
about Jesse
Owens, the great
African-American track
star who won four gold
medals at the 1936
Olympics, which were
held in Nazi Germany.
The film covers Owens
college career, his
difficult time as a
movement to boycott
the Games grew in the
United States, his
performance at the
Games, and the benching of the Jewish
members of the U.S.
track team. I havent
seen the film, so I dont
know how it covers a
couple of big myths
about the Games first,
that Hitler snubbed
Owens after his wins
because Owens was
black (didnt happen),
and that Owens symbolically won the Games by
establishing that blacks,
who the Nazis regarded
as sub-humans, could
beat the Nazi master
race. While reasonable
people could agree with
the latter point, the Nazis
shrugged off Owens
wins. Overall, the Games
were a great propaganda
coup for the Nazis

the United States, she was their only child.
Her grandfather was a successful, charitable, and highly respected businessman
who owned a lumber and coal business;
her father worked for his father, eventually struck out on his own in the same business, and flourished.
When the war came, almost all of Veras
parents siblings were murdered; one of
her fathers sisters had gone to the United
States before the war, a fact that was to
prove vitally important later.
When the Nazis began to confiscate
Jewish-owned businesses, the Goodmans

behind another tree, but they were captured. My mother remembered the sounds
of screaming and of gunfire and explosions, he said.
Ninety-five percent of Slovakian Jewry
died but she and her parents survived.
Vera Goodman had not yet turned 8 years
old.
Eventually, a Russian appeared and told
them that the war was over, gave them
bread, and told them where to meet the
Russian army.
Mr. Greenwald doesnt have a lot of
details about his mothers postwar time in
Europe he does know that for a year she
went to school in Prague but can pick up
the story in 1947, when she and her parents, sponsored by her fathers sister, took
a Swedish ship called the Gripsholm across
the Atlantic. Once in the United States, the
family settled in Vineland, where her parents, like many others in that largely Jewish town, owned a chicken farm. Veras
sister, Eva who is now Eva Nordhauser
of Del Ray, Florida, and Suffern, N.Y. was
born in Vineland, and Vera went to high
school there.
Local
After being in this country for four years, my
mother won an American Legion statewide essay
contest on what it means to be an American, Mr.
Greenwald said. She also learned English, which she
spoke entirely colloquially, without even the hint of
an accent, he added.
Ms. Goodman went to Douglass College, where she
majored in political science. She met my dad Martin Greenwald, who died in 2012 who was a pharmacist from Wortsboro, N.Y., at a Catskill resort called
the Sha-wan-ga Lodge.
She was a switchboard operator that summer, and
he parked cars. Think Dirty Dancing. They married
on March 20, 1960, in Philadelphia.
The couple soon moved to Milford, Penn., about 90
miles from New York City, and Mr. Greenwald bought
a pharmacy. There were not many Jews there. There
were six Jewish families in our county, Mr. Greenwald said. Unlike the rest of those families, the Greenwalds kept kosher, and they always wanted a more
Jewish life. There was a family there, a Jewish family,
that had a Christmas tree, and eventually, through my
mothers influence, the family became kosher. They
moved to Atlanta, and then to Israel, and now the
family we keep in close touch with them numbers
50, and they are all black hat. They owe it all to my
mother.
The Greenwald family which soon included Joel,
his sister Shari (now Shari Mendes), and his brother
Daniel moved to Teaneck in 1973, when I was 9 and
my sister was 12, Mr. Greenwald said. My mother

Christian
or Jew?
Lutheran pastor to talk at the JCC about
discovering her German Jewish family
JOANNE PALMER
First, a warning about what this story
about a Lutheran pastor who discovered that her apparently solidly German
Lutheran father actually was a German
Jew whose parents died in the Holocaust
is not.
It is not a conversion story.
It does not end with the Reverend Heidi
Neumark throwing over her deeply held
Protestant theology to become Jewish.
It is a far more complicated, far more
real, far less sentimental story than that
imaginary one would have been.
So, with that out of the way, here is the
Rev. Neumarks story. It is a story that she
has told in a new book, Hidden Inheritance: Family Secrets, Memory, and Faith,
and will tell in person at the Kaplen JCC
on the Palisades this week. (See box for
details.)
Growing up in Summit, a deeply loved
only child, Ms. Neumark knew that her
father, who was 20 years older than her
mother, was born in Germany. But thats
all she knew of his family history. True, as
a young child Heidi had gone to Switzerland a few times to meet her grandmother;
and her aunt, her fathers sister, lived in
Queens. Heidi knew her. But her grandmother had been very old, she died when
Heidi was 12, and the two had no language
in common; and Aunt Lore never said a
word about the past.
So when her father implied that he was
not only baptized as Lutheran when he
was a child, the son of parents who also
had been baptized as Lutherans which
was true his daughter inferred that the
family was Lutheran all the way back. That
inference was not true.
Late one night, years after her father
died, Rev. Neumark was reading in bed
when she got a text. It was from her
daughter, Ana, who was downstairs,

Temple Mount
FROM PAGE 9
When Jerusalem was conquered by Saladin, it acquired a degree of religious significance that it had not previously possessed,
Dr. Woolf said. In line with the Islamic view
that there is no other religion than Islam, it
laid exclusive claim to any number of sacred
places to which it claimed a connection. That
is the reason why Muslims assert that the
Temple Mount and the Cave of the Patriarchs
in Hebron are exclusively theirs.
More recently, Rachels Tomb in Bethlehem, to which they never laid claim, has also
been included. The same thing happened to
churches.
So, from the late 12th century on, Jews
stopped going not because they didnt want
to but because they werent allowed to. Their
presence, certainly their worship there, was
viewed as a blatant contradiction of Muslim
hegemony.
Now that more Jews are visiting the Temple
Mount again, the Islamic Movement in Israel
has fomented an organized campaign of
intimidation to stop them, using hired groups
of harassers who only recently were barred

It was impossible for me to sit there,
listen to those great, clear, hard, real
words roll over me in Hebrew, to read
them in English, and not be moved to
(yes, quiet, discrete) tears by them.
It also was impossible not to think of
how far from them we have gone, and
how wrong our recent direction seems
to be.
Lincoln wrote the Address, according
to mythology, on the back of an envelope, on a train taking him from Washington to Gettysburg. That might not be
true, but his skill as a writer, as a politician, and as a human being are undeniable. He was a backwoodsman and
a Victorian, a melancholic, a romantic, and a great, thunderous political
thinker.
He was also a Republican.
It is hard to think of the candidates
running for the Republican nomination for president at the same time that
we think of Lincoln, who grew up in a
log cabin but was not a vulgarian, who
was self-educated but intellectually
agile, who came from poverty but neither bullied nor allowed himself to be
bullied as he rose, who endured great
personal tragedy but did not let it define
him. It is not fair to expect anyone to be
another Lincoln, of course but maybe
they could try? Just a little?
Rabbi Prouser ended Shacharit that
morning with a jaunty Adon Olam, set
but of course! to Yankee Doodle.
If only we all could hold onto the
spirit in that room that morning reverence for the past, hope for the future,
and a great deal of cleverness, resourcefulness, an understanding of what can
be played with and what cannot be, and
plain old hard work put into bridging
what otherwise would have been a huge
gap maybe we could look forward to
the coming election with something
other than dread.
That this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom and that
the government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish

Christians. He has turned Jesus into a mass executioner.
If that isnt blasphemy then the word has no meaning.
Would a pastor in the name of Christian love consign
1.5 million children to death by poison gas? Would a reverend, in the name of his faith, claim that Nazi officers
slept comfortably on pillows made of murdered Jewish
womens hair because it was the will of Jesus?
It would actually be much worse if Bickle were right.
Then we would have to share the cosmos with a God
who views gas chambers as cathedrals of doctrinal
enforcement.
Anyone feel like praying?
I dont know why God allowed the Holocaust. Nor
do I care. No explanation would minimize the horror of it. Nor would it bring back my six million murdered Jewish brothers and sisters. Indeed, asking for
an answer is itself immoral insofar as it attempts to reconcile ourselves to the irreconcilable and to accept the
unacceptable.
Bickle himself has now written an op-ed titled What
Hitler Did Was an Utter Atrocity, in which he clarified
that When Ted Cruz thanked me for my support, he
did not endorse everything I have said during my lifetime, and I do not expect him to. For those times when I
have communicated my beliefs poorly, I apologize.
Bickle continued, To be clear: Scripture is clear that
the friends of God are friends of Israel. It is the enemies
of HaShem who oppose Israel. I pray that I may always
be counted among the former.
Thank you, Pastor. Your friendship is much appreciated. Now, you must repudiate utterly any previous
mentions of the Holocaust as punishment. We Jews have
suffered enough without you inflicting upon us the final
indignity of saying that we actually deserved it.
Critics were right in asking Ted Cruz to repudiate
Bickles ugly comments. The senator did so and rose to
the occasion.
Now it is the turn of Hillary Clinton.
As I wrote in a previous column, Hillarys emails
reveal her admiration for one of the worlds most passionate Israel haters, Max Blumenthal, who compares
the IDF to the SS, calls Israel a Nazi state, and demands
that Israel be disbanded and all the land returned to the
Arabs.
We have emails that Hillary penned personally praising and extolling Maxs disgusting anti-Israel screeds
that were sent to her by his father, Clinton confidante
Sidney Blumenthal. We have access to the dozens of
anti-Israel op-eds and advice that he forwarded from
his son.
Here are some examples of Hillarys responses regarding Maxs opinion pieces on Israel.
7/6/2010 Pls print 5 copies but w/out heading from Sid.
8/17/2010 Pls congratulate Max for another impressive
piece. Hes so good.
11/18/2010 A very smart piece as usual.
4/7/2011 Will Maxs piece be published anywhere else? It
is powerful and touching.
12/23/2011 Max strikes again!
1/21/2012 Interesting reading.
9/13/2012 Your Max is a mitzvah!
12/7/2012 Good stuff. Where is he now?
Madam Secretary, a Jew who compares the IDF to the
SS is no mitzvah. But publicly repudiating his hate-filled
drivel most certainly is.

Every debate that is not for the sake of

That is why I so lament the sorry state of

influencing Sanderss thoughts on foreign
policy when he can be bothered to think
about it at all, that is is one that is nakedly
hostile to Israel. On the Middle East, he listens to J Street, a Jewish anti-Israel group
that strangely masquerades as pro-Israel,
and its ally the National Iranian American
Council, which is the closest thing the Iranian regime has to a lobby in Washington.
So it hardly takes a soothsayer to figure
out that a Sanders foreign policy would be
grounded in isolationism, together with a
willingness to let Russia, China, and Iran run
amok in the name of reining in American
imperialism.
The Sanders phenomenon speaks to a
wider problem the growth of extremism
in American politics. And because extremists of different stripes have more in common than they are prepared to acknowledge, seeming polar opposites can end up
being very similar. I cant perceive a significant amount of light between Sanders and
Donald Trump on foreign policy; both are
isolationists, and both regard the world outside America as another galaxy.

There is a minimum of $2,500 required to open the Apple Bank BONUS Savings account. $2,500 minimum daily balance is required to avoid $10 monthly maintenance fee. Fees may reduce earnings. Funds used to open this account cannot be from an existing Apple Bank account. Maximum deposit amount is $1,000,000 per
household. **Special bonus feature: A .25% simple interest rate bonus will be paid on each anniversary date of account opening on the lowest balance for that year (anniversary date to anniversary date). No bonus is paid if the
account balance is less than $2,500 on the anniversary date. Additional deposits during a given anniversary period do not affect the bonus interest payment. Deposits made to the account on any anniversary date will be used to
calculate the lowest account balance for the next anniversary period. The bonus interest is calculated on the lowest balance on deposit from one anniversary date to the next anniversary date. Simple interest rate bonus is subject
to change at any time after first anniversary date of account opening. Hypothetical example of how bonus works: Assume an account is opened on January 12, 2016 for $50,000. A $10,000 withdrawal is made on July 12, 2016.
No other withdrawals are made prior to the January 12, 2017 anniversary date. The low balance is now $40,000, so $100 in bonus interest will be paid on January 12, 2017.

Cover Story
able to be in a group and work with others. You need the ability to control your
impulses and attend to what is going on in
the group, so I have created experiences
to help the children work on those skills
through music.
They dont necessarily know that they
are working on those things. They think
they are just participating in creating interesting things with their voices and instruments, and all the while they really are
practicing the skills they need to control
their impulses. Music is such a wonderful avenue for that, because to play music
you have to have control over yourself
and your instrument. To make music with
other people you have to be aware of what
your part in the group is; when it is time
for you to play and when it is time for you
not to play.
Music is an inherent biological thing.
Our bodies are music; the pace of our
heartbeats, our blood moving. The human
makeup is very musical. There are very
few people who dont enjoy music I have
come across a few of them, but it is very
CEO, Michael Maron, spearheaded the medical centers deepening involvement with Sinai.
Seeing the picture of Moshe
smiling, confident, and proud in
front of his billboard reaffirms the
missions of Holy Name Medical
Center and Sinai School, he said.
This young man has his own set
of challenges in life. The fact is
we all do its just that our challenges manifest themselves differently. His poignant look of dignity,
honor, and self-esteem should
remind us that what really matters
in life is the feelings we can generate with our hearts when our
mind is open, our attitude humble,
and our resolve actionable.
We hope the light of this moment forever enhances Moshes
purpose for being, and we are
privileged for our part in making
this possible.
Cover Story
And they said, We did.
Moreover, it happened over and over.
It isnt a fluke, Ms. Svolos said. The psychologist said that it was a cognitively low
group, and I said that its a group thats
really high in making music. Its organic.
They found a way to be together in that
space, in that moment. They could just be
themselves. It was really awesome.
Ms. Svolos isnt Jewish. She loves the
chance Sinai provides her to learn about
Jewish culture. Its a wonderful experience for me, being able to come in and
learn from the kids, she said.
She also is able to compare Sinai to
programs in the non-Jewish world. Sinai
really understands the childrens needs at
a very deep level, she said. I have been
in the field for over 15 years, working in a
number of environments in public and
private schools, in hospitals, in clinics
and Sinai is just really unique. There is
individualization. Every child has a unique
need. They have a really well-trained staff,
and they collaborate.
Because Sinai is so unusual, it has
attracted activists, donors, and board
members who do not have children,
grandchildren, or other family members
with special needs, but who are attracted
to its mission and its effectiveness.
Daniel Federbush of Englewood is
among that group. When he first heard
about Sinai, some 20 years ago, I was
very impressed that there was a program
that could deal with children who had special needs on a more serious level than the
yeshivot could. I know of secular programs
that people were forced to send their children to because the Jewish day schools
couldnt give them what they needed. And
I was very impressed with the schools philosophy. Being part of another school gives
the kids an opportunity to mainstream,
whether its on a social level, for lunch or
recess or davening, and also gives them
the opportunity to work on whatever skills
they needed.
Mr. Federbush, a businessman, allowed
himself, somewhat reluctantly, to be honored at a Sinai dinner, and that was that. I
started to learn more and more, and I was
really awestruck by the individualized program, he said. Over time, I have helped
out in whatever ways I could, fundraising,
helping with the dinner, trying to get honorees, he said.
In fact, Mr. Federbush has donated huge
amounts of time to Sinai, and with his wife,
Thalia, has given a fully equipped therapy
room and a computer room to the school,
and has equipped the school with technology. He has raised more than $20 million
for the school. (He did not mention any of
this, it is important to note; the information is straight from Sinai.)
What he does talk about is the schools
mission, its success, and the effect it has on
the community. I have been on the executive board for 10 years or so, and I know
that the school has evolved into something
incredibly impressive, Mr. Federbush said.

he Commission on Cancer
of the American College of
Surgeons has granted full
accreditation to the Regional
Cancer Center at Holy Name Medical
Center. To earn CoC accreditation, a
cancer program must meet 34 CoC quality care standards, be evaluated every
three years through a survey process,
and maintain levels of excellence in the
delivery of comprehensive patient-centered care.
As a CoC-accredited cancer center,
Holy Name Medical Centers Regional
Cancer Center takes a multidisciplinary
approach to treating cancer as a complex group of diseases that requires
consultation among surgeons, medical
and radiation oncologists, diagnostic
radiologists, pathologists, and other
cancer specialists. This multidisciplinary partnership results in improved
patient care.
The Regional Cancer Center at Holy
Name Medical Center is also accredited
by the American College of Radiology
and the American Society for Radiation Oncology. These prestigious recognitions are awarded only to hospitals
representing the highest standards in
patient care and safety, and superior
technical standards.
Holy Names Regional Cancer Center is proud to be among the top cancer centers in the U.S., providing high
quality care, said Michael Maron,
president and CEO, Holy Name Medical Center. Patients not only get the
best possible treatment, but they do so
close to home and with easy access to a
specialized staff that truly cares about
the individual.
Holy Names Regional Cancer Center has demonstrated quality of patient
care through various cancer-related programs that focus on the full spectrum
of cancer care including prevention,
early diagnosis, disease staging, treatment, rehabilitation, life-long followup for recurrent disease, and palliative
care. When patients receive care at a
CoC facility, like Holy Names Regional
Cancer Center, they also have access to
information on clinical trials and new
treatments, genetic counseling, and
patient centered services including psycho-social support, a patient navigation
process, and a survivorship care plan
that documents the care each patient
receives and seeks to improve cancer
survivors quality of life.
At Holy Name, we form teams of
board-certified cancer specialists that
work in unison to address the individual needs of each patient, said Dr. Raul

RAWsome sweet
heat truffles
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups raw organic hazelnuts ( or
nut of your choice)
10 organic mejool dates pitted and

1 1/2 tablespoons reserved date
soaking liquid
1 1/2 tablespoons strong organic
coffee or espresso
3 tablespoons raw organic cacao
powder
1/2 teaspoon organic cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon organic cayenne
1/2 teaspoon organic nutmeg
DIRECTIONS:
1. Process hazelnuts to a consistency
of coarse sand. Add in raw cacao
powder, dates, and spices. Blend well.
Add coffee and 1 tablespoon date
soaking liquid and blend until it forms
a batter ball; it will probably clump
to one side of the mixer at this point.
Add more soaking liquid if needed
during blending.
2. Put into a container and place in
the fridge or freezer for about 20
minutes or until firm.
3. Roll by hand into 1/2- to 1-inch balls.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup dried organic cherries (no
sugar added)
1/2 cup raw organic cashews
2/3 cup organic unrefined virgin
coconut oil
2/3 cup raw organic cacao powder
1 tablespoon raw organic ground
vanilla powder
2 tablespoons organic grade b pure
maple syrup
A pinch of pink himalayan sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
1. Line a small baking tray with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Roughly chop dried cherries and
raw cashews, set aside.
3. In a double boiler, over low flame,
gently melt the coconut oil. Remove
from heat and sift in the raw organic
cacao powder and pure organic
ground vanilla powder and whisk
thoroughly. Stir in the organic grade b
pure maple syrup.
4. Pour the mixture onto the prepared
baking tray in an even layer and top
with the chopped organic dried cherries and raw organic cashews, then
sprinkle with the pink himalayan sea
salt.
5. Place in the freezer to harden...
just about 30 minutes. Break up into
pieces.
After step 3, you could use the liquid
chocolate like fondue and dip organic strawberries, eat immediately,
or store in the fridge.
Note: This raw chocolate melts very
quickly, as there are no stabilizers to
keep it solid, so store in the fridge or
freezer.

Healthy Living
Achieving optimal
emotional well-being
KIMBERLY AGRESTA, MSW, LCSW
Optimal emotional well-being can mean different things
to different people. Working in private practice for the
last twenty years, I have learned from my clients that
there is one recurrent theme in the guarantee toward
achieving this goal and that is the theme of connection.
By this, I mean connection not only to others but also to
oneself and the physical world in which we live.
Connection is what grounds us, centers us, and
enables us to thrive. It also provides us with a sense of
happiness and joy, both of which are essential to a sense
of overall well-being.
So, the question is, how do we create healthy connections with others, the environment, and ourselves in
order to achieve this goal?
Connection is what
grounds us, centers
us, and enables us
to thrive.
Eight of the best tools I have found both personally
and professionally to do just that are diet, exercise,
meditation, deep breathing, sunshine, laughter, gratitude, and connecting with others. Most of these tools
are self-explanatory.
Eating properly along with 30 minutes of daily aerobic activity can significantly aid in the reduction of
anxiety. Meditation helps us to feel more connected
to both the world and ourselves while also decreasing stress and anxiety. Sometimes just breathing
deeply can help center and relax you. Thanks to new
research, there is now scientific evidence that gratitude also produces health benefits. Some believe that
the real gift of gratitude is that the more grateful you
are, the more present you become. People who keep
a daily gratitude journal report fewer health problems
as well as feeling more optimistic about the future.
Lastly, connection with others is essential in achieving optimal well-being. The importance of having a
good support group in your life goes without saying.
Whether it be family, friends, a religious organization,
fraternal group, or professional networks we thrive
when we feel connected.
Sometimes, we need assistance in achieving these
goals, particularly connecting with others. The Agresta
Psychotherapy Group has been providing psychotherapeutic services to men, women and families living in the
Metropolitan area for over thirty-five years.
Additionally, APG has therapists on staff who work
specifically with children suffering from behavioral
disorders, anxiety disorders and special needs.
Depending on the age of the child, art and movement techniques might be utilized in addition to play
therapy. For more information go to agrestapsychotherapy.com or womenswellnessnynj.com

ROBIN GRANAT
People who need people are the luckiest people in
the world. We can all hear Barbra Streisand singing
the song People and her amazing voice making it
so easy for us to understand the need and the gift of
being open to connecting with others. Jewish life has
always been aware of the need for companionship and
for that reason community life is central.
Research has shown over and over that we are
social beings. Not only do we benefit greatly from
being around others but it is essential for our mental
health. Loneliness might be more detrimental than
heart disease as we age. A recent study reviewed by
the Journal of Medicine stated that a healthy social
life may be as good for your long-term health as
avoiding cigarettes.
In our later years, we lose some of our friends and
this is very difficult. I remember visiting a woman who
was 100 years old. As I was admiring the many photographs of friends and family she had all over her apartment she said, Most of these people are no longer
with us. I asked her how she coped with this. I will
never forget her very simple but very useful answer;
she said I just always make sure that I am always making new friends. Now this woman was in no way saying that the people she lost could be replaced. She
was however stating a reality, the need to keep adding
people to her life and the gift of new people coming
into her life. Its OK and healthy to acknowledge that
we need people.
So how does someone keep adding to their list of
friends? Everyone is different. Some people are very
social while others are content with much less social
contact. Are you matching up with your typical ways
as you are getting older? Are you as social as you
would like to be?
In my experience as the administrator of a senior
community, I have found that making new friendships is not always easy. Many are a bit rusty. Some
are surprised to find some insecurities rise to the
surface. Here are three simple tips that I hope that
you will find helpful as you add more people to your
lives.
1. Get involved in things that you enjoy. This is an
easy way to be around people who are similar to you.
While you are attending the activity make an effort
to connect with people and offer to help out in some
way. It does not happen if you sit on the sidelines.
2. Speak 30 percent of the time and listen 70 percent of the time. Get to know a person by listening first
and speaking second. People become overwhelmed
when they hear too much all at once about your life.
3. Stay with it. Have reasonable expectations that
friendships take time to foster and that not everyone
wants to be our friend. Do not lose heart if you have
some bumps in the road.
Like my 100-year-old friend, make up your mind
that you will continue to make new friends for your
entire life and you will.

me, and God. The challenge for 21st century Judaism is to teach that each of us is
commanded to use the ner tamid, the light
of Gods presence, as both a flashlight to
illuminate our search for God within us
and as a beacon to see Gods presence in
the world beyond us. Moreover, each of
us is commanded to not only see this as a
responsibility of Bnai Yisrael, the community as a whole, but also, as a personal
obligation.
Sforno, the great Italian Jewish scholar
of the 15th century, confirms this last challenge, in his commentary on the opening
word of our Parsha, which is Atah, you
singular, in English, that the command to
light the ner tamid is one of three places
in the sanctuary narrative where Moses
is commanded to do this mitzvah himself
rather than merely delegate its fulfillment
to others.
Sfornos commentary from half a millennium ago, and my brothers message, after
thirty years of using Torah as a lamp to
light the path to recovery from addiction
for himself and thousands of other Jews,
teach me that you and I are commanded
to not only keeping the ner tamid burning
by continually re-creating Jewish community, but that each of us is personally commanded to find the Divine Light within
us and to use it to see both the beauty of
our individual souls and as a beacon to
brighten the world beyond.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia addresses the Legal Services Corp.s 40th anniversary
conference luncheon in Washington, D.C., on September 15, 2014.

was narrow.
There is a question whether
a boycott of this sort, which, in
effect, requires an American
company to choose whether it
wishes to have certain types of
business relations with Israel
or to have dealings with the
Arab countries, has a sufficient impact upon U.S. foreign
commerce to come within the
Sherman Anti-Trust Act, he
said. The act only proscribes
activity which has a material
adverse affect upon our foreign
commerce.
Scalia also argued that the
refusal to hire Jews to do the
work was not in of itself discriminatory; the companies could
argue it was against their interest
to hire someone unable to obtain
a visa, whatever the reasons were
for that inability.
Scalia was arguing administration policy and he was not yet a
judge, when his opinions would
be his own.
Scalia overruled the FBI,
allowing a civil rights rabbi to buy
his first computer.
Rabbi Arthur Waskow, who
founded Philadelphias Shalom
Center, wrote in an email Monday that he remains amazed
that Scalia was one of three federal appeals court justices who
upheld a lawsuit in 1986 that
he and eight other activists had
brought against the FBI a decade

The story, Rev. Neumark said, is that prisoners in Theresienstadt were offered the chance to take a train to Switzerland and freedom. The prisoners knew better, of
course by then they knew that trains went only in the
direction of hell. Almost no one took them up on the
offer, but after two years in Theresienstadt, Ida Neumark
was ready to die. She volunteered to take the place of a
woman who wanted to go with her young son but was
not allowed to bring him with her.
Astonishingly, the train did go to Switzerland, the
one-time result of a deal Himmler made with an Orthodox rabbinical organization that was trying desperately
to get people out. (Himmler, of course, was trying to
enrich himself.) Ida Neumark lived another quarter of
a century.
Rev. Neumark found all this information out through
trips to Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, from consultations with scholars and historians, and from visits to
both virtual and physical archives.
As she tried to come to grips with her familys story,
her identity as the daughter of a Jew, and the overwhelming question of how her father could have kept such a
terrible secret, and what the cost to him of such repression must have been, she also grappled with the intersection of Christianity and Judaism, of Martin Luthers
toxic anti-Semitism, of her deep belief in Jesus and her
unmistakable respect for Judaism.
As deeply moving as her family history is like most
Holocaust memoirs, some of her descriptions are almost
too painful to read, and certainly too horrific to try to
imagine her questions about her own faith, and her
honesty as she tackles them, are gripping.
She writes a great deal about baptism; about what it
