NEXT SHABBOS NOV 23RD AFTER KIDDUSH SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER KAREN GRINZAID

Karen Grinzaid, MS, CGC, Genetic counselor from Emory School of Medicine and Director of JScreen, will speak to men and women on healthy living, cancer risks and BRCA testing. Did you know Ashkenazi Jews are at 10 times greater risk to have a mutation in a BRCA gene, regardless of their personal family of cancer? A BRCA mutation puts a person at greater risk for breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancers, and also has a 50% chance of passing it down to his/her children. JScreen is enrolling participants for the PEACH BRCA Study which includes no-cost testing. Sponsored by the Dunwoody Mikvah Society.

Please note Rabbi B. Friedman’s Monday night Tip Top Torah and Chumash class will not take place this coming week and will IY”H resume the following week.

FASCINATING FACTS IN JEWISH HISTORY

November 1942 The Second World War began when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 and ended with the surrender of Japan in August 1945. In fact, the Allied forces defeated the Axis powers in November 1942. In this fateful month, spanning the globe, were fought the greatest battles of WW2 and perhaps of all history. On November 8th, the United States, in the first engagement of WWII against the Germans, launched Operation Torch. Troops under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower landed in North Africa and captured Morocco and Tunisia from the French Vichy forces. This operation forced Germany to open a new front, and distracted support from the Eastern Front, for which the Soviets had been begging. On November 11th, across North Africa, General Bernard Montgomery engaged the German troops under Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in the 2nd Battle of El Alamein. The 2nd battle of El Alamein, involving more than 300,00 soldiers and 1,600 tanks, is known as the greatest tank battle in history. The result was that Germany was defeated and had to retreat from North Africa, ending its vision of conquering the Middle East and its oil fields, as well as annihilating the Jews of Palestine. On November 12th, the United States Navy engaged the Imperial Navy of Japan in the greatest naval Battle of WWII, the Battle of Guadalcanal. The battle ended on November 15th with the defeat of the Japanese Navy. The United States would go on to retake the Philippines and the Japanese were in constant retreat from that time on. On November 19th, the Russians launched the counteroffensive to retake Stalingrad. This Battle, perhaps the bloodiest in history, ended with nearly 2 million casualties and the total destruction of the German 6th Army. Germany, spent after investing all its resources to win Stalingrad, now had to redeploy forces from the west to protect its eastern flank making them much more vulnerable to the invasion from the west. After the Battle of El Alamein, Winston Churchill said: "This is not the end, this is not the beginning, nor is it even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill didn’t know it at the time, but it was the beginning of the end. What was the Divine plan that showered unlimited success upon the forces of evil and then suddenly turned it all around? We pray for the day when we will learn the answer to that and so many other questions.
