THE JEWISH STARLocal Egyptian Jews recall exodusBy Sergey Kadinsky

The most respected institution in Egypt is not taking sides. Standing by as supporters and opponents of embattled President Hosni Mubarak fi ght on in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the soldiers are also guarding the Ben Ezra synagogue from potential looters.

“I spoke just now with Mrs. Weinstein, the President of the Cairo Community. She is safe and sound and indicates that army security forces have replaced the police guarding the synagogues,” Yves Fedida of the France-based Nebi Daniel Association wrote in an email.

The Jewish community in Egypt numbers only a few dozen individuals, but it has numerous synagogues and cemeteries to maintain. Carmen Weinstein’s chief task is raising funds for their upkeep.

“Weinstein raised the money, got the squatters out of the cemetery and identifi ed the graves,” said NYU political science professor Youssef Cohen, 63, who last visited Egypt in 1998.

Following the overthrow of the monarchy in 1952, the government’s strong Arab nationalism and opposition to Israel led to a massive exodus of the once sizable community. Under Murabak, Egypt became a major recipient of American aid in return for keeping the peace with neighboring Israel.

“Mubarak was a highly westernized man. He wanted to create a modern Egypt, but there was too much poverty and unemployment. That’s what’s fueling the problem,” said Cohen.

Cohen said that on his last visit he did not experience overt anti-Semitism, but

David F. Nesenoff: What is going on in Egypt? Do you have some new per-sonal insight?

Ari Fleischer: My heart is with the pro-testers; who doesn’t hope that this leads to freedom and democracy. But my mind is cognizant of recent Middle East history and I’m wary of how this is going to play out. So this is a classic conundrum of foreign policy, American ideals and real politic.

DFN: As far as Israel is concerned and the Muslim Brotherhood, there’s certainly a great fear that putting the democracy label on terrorists legitimize certain groups. Is this your understand-ing?

AF: Israel is on the front lines and it has the most to win or lose. When you’re on the front line, even if it’s a cold peace that lasted for 30 years, its something you don’t want to miss. And so the stakes in Israel are much higher than the stakes in the United States. It’s a little easier for Americans to hope for a democracy because we won’t suffer the immediate consequences the way Israel would… if it turns out to be like Iran 1979.

DFN: You worked with President Bush as his Press Secretary; would a Republi-can administration handle the present situation differ-ently?

AF: President Bush was vociferous in speaking out for the freedom agenda. And he believes very strongly that left to their own devices, people will seek peace and freedom. Of course when you leave people to their own devices, those devices can get hijacked by Muslim

extremists. And that’s again why it’s such a conundrum.

DFN: Some say that President Bush bet on Hamas losing when there was a democratic election and that might have been the wrong call on his part.

AF: Or he thought Hamas would be exposed for what they are. And eventua l ly the people of Gaza would throw Hamas out because they weren’t delivering on a better and more peaceful life. That was

Bush’s bet but I don’t think that matters anymore because he’s not in offi ce.

I’ve got to say, and I say this as a parti-san Republican, Barack Obama has largely handled this well. My view is that the best course for Israel and America is what I call slow and steady. Slowly say goodbye to

Mubarak, and steadily push for reform.

DFN: On another issue, since you’re an expert on publicity and public relations …in Israel they call it hasbara, there are many who say that Israel has the worst hasbara. Muslim Broth-erhood has better hasbara, and Hamas and the Palestinians are better at representing them-selves whether it be through In-

ternet or through images. What’s Israel’s problem; is it that simple?

AF: Its nonsense if anyone says that Hamas or the Islamic Brother-

conceded that it was only because he was in contact with a limited segment of the population.

“These were secular intellectuals and they were very friendly. My name is Cohen so everyone knew that I was Jewish,” said Cohen. The highlight of his visit was the restored Bassatine Cemetery outside Cairo, where his mother is buried.

“She died when I was 5, so I don’t really remember her,” said Cohen. Last year, he published “Odette,” a fi ctionalized memoir of his childhood exodus to Europe, Brazil, and United States, and his return to visit the grave of the mother he barely knew.

The other Egyptian city with a Jewish population, Alexandria is having a tougher time amid the unrest.

“All the main police stations in downtown Alex have been torched with some burnt to the ground. Thugs are roaming the streets,” writes Fedida. Without the army and police, the synagogue was watched during the day by the leader of the Alexandria Jewish community, Ben Youssef Gaon, and the synagogue’s Egyptian warden, Abd El Nabi.

“We should all recognize the courage it takes to be there, caring at this time,” writes Fedida.

The Jewish community in Egypt was once a diverse mixture that included descendants of Spanish Jews who fl ed the Inquisition, Syrian Jews, and Ashkenazim. Alongside the Jews, there were also Karaites, a Jewish sect originating during the Talmudic period.

Most Egyptian Jews fl ed to Israel, with smaller communities in the United States. After years of documenting the assets confi scated by the Egyptian government, retired banker Joseph Wahed, 75, cofounded Jews Indigenous to Middle East and North Africa (JIMENA), seeking recognition for the suffering endured by Jews expelled from Arab countries.

“They confi scated our businesses and apartments. Being Jewish became a criminal offense,” said Waged, who belongs to a Karaite congregation in California. “We could not take our Torah scrolls with us. We had to sneak them out of Egypt.”

Among some American Ashkenazi Jews, the sight of crowds chanting for elections and democracy is inspiring even as Jews from Egypt urge caution. Michael Lerner of the liberal Tikkun Magazine wasn’t the only rabbi to offer praise for the protesters.

“I was inspired by the coming out of thousands speaking truth to power and advancing personal liberty,” said Rabbi Etan Tokayer of Kingsway Jewish Center in Brooklyn. His wife Esther, a daughter of Syrian and Egyptian Jews disagreed.

“My wife thought that my inspiration was naïve and that I did not understand the Arab mentality because [the unrest] could lead to chaos.”

Ari Fleischer: Frontlineshood has better hasbara than Israel. They don’t. Those groups are largely reviled throughout the west. Israel is controversial but not in the same category. This is also a tendency for the Jewish community and cer-tainly for Israelis to be tough on themselves. Which is unfortunate.

But Israel’s fundamental problem is that they used to be the David of the region against the Goliath. And in the last two de-cades or so Israel became the Goliath against the Palestinian David who throws rocks. That more than anything has created the current condition against Israel. In addition to the coldhearted calculations that some leaders in particular Western Europe make about kow-towing to their Arab constituencies at the ex-pense of their Jewish constituencies and at the expense of Israel.

DFN: If you were sitting before an Is-raeli administration, and they wanted to improve their image, are there specifi c things they should be focused on?

AF: I would love to see Israel recognize more than anything else the power of the video. To arm its drones with high-resolution TV cameras. They need to show the world rockets being fi red from schools in Gaza, rockets being stored in mosques. They need the video proof.

DFN: You mentioned that President Obama is doing a fair job concerning go-ing slowly with Egypt. How’s he doing in general?

AF: I think he is whistling past our grave-yard of the dead. Sorely lacking form his

State of the Union was a real ring of a bell that our nation is going broke and we’ve got to stop the debt. He ignored it. He gave it lip service. Any temporary political bumps he may get are insignifi cant compared to wheth-er or not our one leader is leading us on the most important fi scal issue our nation faces.

DFN: Do you think he changes with the wind? With November there was some nu-ance of change? Is there something com-ing soon, other than before the next elec-tion?

AF: My sense is that he is an ideological liberal but he would rather be successful and he will pack in the wind and fi gure out how to be successful which isn’t very reassuring. I’m much more comfortable with the Ronald Reagan style of elected offi cial. You know who they are and what they stand for.

DFN: Any thoughts on who the Repub-licans are going to put up in the next elec-tion? Sarah Palin is a name being bandied about. Mitt Romney, Huckabee just came back from Israel. Are these the same old players or is there someone new?

AF: The Republican fi eld is absolutely wide open. I would be surprised if Sarah Palin jumps in. I think it’s going to be a bat-tle between the new names, possibly John Thune, Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty. And the old names, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee. I can see those two groups of Republicans squaring off in the primary. I’m looking for a new face of the Republican Party. I think that would be the most inter-esting and exciting thing for somebody who is new but of presidential timber to emerge.

DFN: What are you doing these days? What are you up to?

AF: I’m having a blast. I have my own communications company. Half my clients are corporations and half my clients are sports organizations. I help people with mes-sage development strategy.

DFN: Did I notice you had something to do with Tiger Woods recently?

AF: I worked for tiger.

DFN: Can it include damage control?AF: It is more about ongoing dissemina-

tion of message and avoiding damage con-trol.

DFN: Your name is Ari. So what’s your relationship to Judaism?

AF: It’s a big part of who I am. My moth-er is an immigrant to this country. She fl ed from Hungary in August 1939; she was one of the last to get out. I was raised a Conser-vative Jew, bar mitzvahed a Reform Jew. While I was in Washington I would also go to Lubavitch services. So I’ve touched a lot of Jewish bases. I’m raising my family as Re-form Jews. My religion is important. It’s a big part of my life.

DFN: Any specifi c Jewish values that have caused you to reach success and bring success to other people’s lives?

AF: I think it’s caring about others and a willingness to listen. You have to hear what the other side says. I was raised a Democrat and I think a lot of that has to do with Jewish values. I think I have the heart of a liberal and the mind of a conservative. Which is a

pretty good way to be.

DFN: Why do Jews tend to be liberal? AF: A good part of it in the northeast,

especially among women are social issueswhere the Jewish community is strongly pro-abortion and pro-stem cell research. Theyhave an inordinate fear of Christian conser-vatives. There’s a sense of discomfort withconservatism.

DFN: Does this Jewish liberal attractioncause harm concerning support for Israel?

AF: There’s a neutrality movement vis-à-vis Israel in the Democratic Party. The Jewishcommunity knew that George Bush would stand by Israel through thick and thin. And I don’t think the Jewish community has a strong sense whether Barack Obama would do the same. The base of the Democratic Par-ty on this issue is essentially neutral. It is not pro-Israel. It’s not pro-Palestinian. It is essen-tially neutral. Which is frightening to me.

I became a republican because I believed in Ronald Reagan and peace thru strength. Israel practices peace thru strength every day. The liberal community fears peace thru strength. They’d say Israel just give up the west bank, just do it. You’ll be fi ne.

DFN: If asked, would you entertainputting on your old hat, if a Republican administration came to Washington in thefuture?

AF: Only if it’s Ambassador to Bermuda,but I’m very happy to be retired. I’ve worked in Washington for 21 years and loved it. Butmy time is done in Washington.

Dr. Bernard Lander was one of the longest-serving college administrators in the country, leading Touro College from its founding in 1971 until his death at age 94 last February. A rabbi and sociologist by training, he used his Jewish and secular careers to create and nurture a leading institution of learning in the Jewish community.

“Judaism has a tradition of universal liter-acy that has served us well,” said Touro Col-lege President Dr. Alan Kadish. “Traditional Judaism also places importance on precedent and respect for tradition, but that does not mean we are static. Each generation produc-es new scholars.”

On the fi rst anniversary of his passing, Touro College honored Dr. Lander with a se-ries of lectures by Tel Aviv Chief Rabbi Yis-roel Meir Lau, kicking off on Feb. 3 at Lander College for Women in Manhattan.

“This will be a weekend of inspiration as we celebrate the legacy and life of a great Jewish leader,” said Dr. Mark Hasten, chair-man of the Touro Board of Trustees. “A man like Dr. Bernard Lander comes along once in a generation, or perhaps once in many gen-erations.”

The evening lecture was attended by a number of prominent individuals including Israeli Consul General Ido Aharoni, Ortho-dox Union President Simcha Katz, and Rabbi Moshe Tendler of Yeshiva University.

“We fi rst met when Touro was a dream not yet dreamed and our relationship has grown closer over the years,” said Rabbi Tendler. “His daughter goes to my school and my daughter Michelle teaches at Touro.”

Rabbi Tendler recalled Dr. Lander’s vis-its to his Monsey home, coupled with offers to work at Touro. “He’d tempt me to be a dean at one of his new schools, but I have a school.”

The keynote speaker, Rabbi Lau, connect-ed the silver trumpets of parshat Terumah to

the legacy of Dr. Lander. “Our nation is not a nation but not for the

Torah. How do we do it in the 21st century when we have all the infl uential communica-tions?”

“The trumpets are communicating to call the whole nation to the Torah. We have the

radio, the newspaper, and the magazine. Dr.Lander knew how to blow those trumpets,” said Rabbi Lau. “He was a spiritual giant inhis accomplishments.”

Chief Rabbi Lau also visited the Lander College for Men and Yeshivas Ohr Hachaimin Queens and concluded the weekend witha fundraiser for the scholarship funds of theLander Colleges. Hosting the fundraiser atthe Lawrence Country Club was Lawrencevillage mayor Martin Oliner, a member of theTouro Board of Trustees who has also taughtat Touro Law School.

“Bernie was brilliant. He had an uncanny ability to analyze and understand the most complicated issues,” Oliner wrote in Nasi Be-Amcha (A Prince Amongst Your People), a book of essays remembering Dr. Lander pub-lished by Touro College in conjunction with the event.

In his lifetime, Lander led a college that has grown to 31 locations in 4 states and 5countries, educating upwards of 18,000 stu-dents. But even as Touro expanded, Landercontinued to live a modest life.

“Bernie was selfl ess. He treated every dollar of Touro’s as if it were hekdesh,” saidOliner, using the Hebrew term for funds setaside for charitable purposes.

Speaking to Lander on a daily basis, Olin-er recalled a leader who still took the subwayto his modest home in Forest Hills well intohis 80s, and fl ew coach when visiting Touro campuses in Europe and California.

“With his perseverance and unrelentingstyle came a blessing from heaven,” wroteOliner. “Suggestions that seemed more like smoke and mirrors were blessed with suc-cess.”

Tel Aviv Chief Rabbi Yisroel Meir Lau speaks at Rabbi Dr. Lander’s yartzeit

With the abundance of storms that have everybody talking about the weather, one wonders how much the global warming camp can convince their opponents that “we” control the weather. Record snowfalls across the country seem to indicate to me that G-d, and not Hummers or Styrofoam cups, is still in charge.

The Gemara (Taanit 2a) certainly concurs with this assessment, when it states, “Rabbi Yochanan said, ‘There are three keys in the hands of G-d that are not entrusted to an agent. They are: the key of rain, the key of conception/childbirth, and the key of revival of the dead.’”

While it may be a stretch to include snow-storms in the “key of rain” that G-d controls, I am willing to go out on that limb with the

confi dence that not too many people will ob-ject.

The Gaon of Vilna implied from a differ-ent passage in Taanit 9a, that there is no con-cept in Jewish thought that is not hinted to in the Torah. For the source, or hint, to the idea of the keys G-d holds, he looks at Par-shat Tetzaveh, Shmot 28:36 where the Torah, in describing the cre-ation of the Tzitz (fore-

head-plate) says “…and engrave on it in the same manner as a signet ring, [the words], ‘Holy to G-d.’”

In Hebrew, the last four words of this verse are, “Pituchai Chotam Kodesh LaHashem.” The Vilna Gaon takes this phrase to mean, “The manners of ‘CH’T’M’ are distinctly set aside for G-d.” The three letters of the word “Chotam” are an acronym for the three keys the Gemara says are in God’s hands.

Chet = “Chaya,” the ability to conceive and give birth to a child. Taf = “T’chiya,” or resurrection. Mem = “Matar,” rain.

These three powers are “kodesh la’Hashem,” separate for G-d, and were not touched by any stranger.

It is amazing to behold the advancement of science and technology in our world. In a certain sense, we have given ourselves the opportunity to play G-d in so many aspects of our lives.

We can fertilize reproductive material in test tubes to implant a viable embryo in a uterus, and we can incubate fetuses, once they’ve developed viable organs and features, to a point that, in some cases, they can live normal lives even if they’ve emerged from the womb at 24 weeks gestation.

But, we cannot create the materials that create the embryo. And we cannot replicate those essential fi rst few months in the womb. And as much as we know about medicine, there are still children who do not survive pregnancy, and there are still mothers who do not survive childbirth. The numbers are

certainly better than at other times in history, but they are not yet zero. We don’t know ev-erything.

We can do all kinds of things to restimu-late the heart, keep patients alive, and revive those who have fl atlined. A machine can keep a person’s organs alive for a signifi cant amount of time (I am not going into the hot debate of defi ning the end of life).

But we cannot bring back to life someone who has been dead for a few vital minutes. And, in the rare case when doctors have giv-en up, done all they could, and the patient “comes back” nonetheless, it is generally noted that some things are in G-d’s hands, as their advent is beyond what human sci-ence can explain. And, it goes without saying that resurrection as described in some of the Biblical stories (Elijah, Elisha) is beyond the scope of the abilities of Man.

From a religious perspective, I do believe there is nothing more arrogant than stating that humans control the weather and climate more than G-d controls the weather and cli-mate.

The Torah certainly makes the case that humans ought to take care of our world to the best of our abilities because we can easily destroy it. And yet there is a seeming contra-diction.

Bereshit 1:28 has G-d blessing the newly created humans, “...Be fruitful and multi-ply and replenish the earth and subdue it; v’kivshu’ha - have dominion over...every liv-ing thing....” At the same time, in Bereshit 2:15 G-d takes the newly created human,”... and placed him in the Garden of Eden - l’ovdah ul’shomrah - to cultivate it and to guard it.”

In an article about Judaism and the en-vironment, which originally appeared in the OU’s Jewish Action magazine and can now be found elsewhere online, Rabbi Barry Freundel concluded his analysis of the sub-ject thus: “...The true meaning, then, of the Biblical command of ‘subdue the world’ is not to conquer the world by raping and destroy-ing its resources. Its true implication is found in G-d’s other statement to Adam about how to function in the Garden of Eden, i.e. ‘to work it and to watch it.’ Responsible use mixed with sincere concern, progress with restraint, growth and technology with con-servation and preservation, is the Torah’s ecological agenda.”

That refers to our responsibility.The bottom line remains, however, that

G-d is still in charge.

Chocolate cake is for dessertThe notion that democracy is best for all

times and for all circumstances feeds into an unhealthy obesity of trouble. A gang of bank robbers can vote on who will be their leader, who will drive the get-away car, and who will load the guns and blow open the vault. Must their illegalities become appropriate and acceptable simply because there was an election? The one-dimensional evaluation of morality drawn with the simple stroke of the democracy brush is a dangerous picture. And it is one that is all too often promoted by our American fl ag waving leaders.

There is a sense that when given the mul-tiple choices of what should be done, the answer always has to be D: Democracy. This is partly because of the way it nobly sounds and partly because of a fear of the options. But the alternative does not have to be A: Anarchy, B: Belligerence or C: Communism either. When in doubt we should check off E: Educate. Unfortunately teaching and learn-ing takes effort and energy (E and E). Who are these candidates representing the Mus-lim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Pal-estinian Authority, al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Fatah, the Abu Nidal Organization, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, and the Abu Sayyaf Group? Maybe they are not electable and shouldn’t be on the slate, but rather need to be E: Eradicated, Expelled, Expunged, Expired, and Extricated. But the educating of an unbiased world history is not a well-traded commodity in the global mar-ketplace. The masses have an absurd need for an immediate evaluation as to whom is the supposed underdog. Their usual bleeding heart observation is quickly noted and then bingo… a vote is required. And don’t forget to send out Jimmy Carter to make sure the stained blue fi ngers of the voters are counted and discolored with fairness and equity.

Once the great election saga has ceased and the winner is proclaimed then the ‘ter-rorist’ label is wiped clean. How can he be a murderer of women and children, he was elected as part of a democracy? And so all

become betwixt and befuddled when faced with the Muslim Brotherhood and with Hamas. The universal standards of “We will not negotiate with terrorists!” get fi led in a cabinet drawer labeled “But they were elect-ed!” The once band of bloodthirsty brothers is now invited to perform and sing at our wedding. Somehow the only qualifi cation for garnering the nomenclature of democracy is the capability of erecting a voting booth.

What further exasperates the boiling cal-dron of nasty international relations is our comfort level that dictates with whom we fi ght. You show me an established nation with a cross-eyed monarch, then bye-bye and blow him to bits. But we are gun shy when it comes to a blindly inhumane, international monster without a fl ag. In fact we’ll assist him with his stump speech. If only the enemy in this war against terror had a seat at the UN, our life would be easier. We would then invade and beat him up. The terrorist chair is not represented in the General Assem-bly, although there are numerous backsides warming up a place for a few of them to sit and hang their fl ags. Even if we are unwilling to decimate the terrorists’ very existence, at the very least we shouldn’t push for their de-mocratization leading to their legitimization. How ironic it is that this feigned thrust for the almighty democracy spits in the face of Israel who continues to be the only democ-racy surrounded by vipers, thugs and rogue nations.

Israel, like the United States, lived through a process before reaching its fi rst election. An appetizer of a long deep-rooted history of human justice was ordered. The entrée fi lled with values and equitable standards was savored stemming from a recipe of mo-rality. And then and only then was the tray presented with the choice of chocolate cake. Democracy. Those who prematurely rush to consume the rich dessert as their entire stable of sustenance are doomed to be un-healthy… and they get sick over everyone around them.

What sect of Judaism are we a part of ?

I thought you knew!

Usually it takes years, maybe decades for the discovery of top-secret documents or re-cordings to be declassifi ed and released to the general public. But recently a highly con-fi dential taped phone conversation between Washington and Cairo was leaked.

The tape begins: “Hosni are you there?” President Barak

Obama’s voice can be heard saying. “Oh, Barak Hussein, asalam alekem,” the presi-dent of Egypt, Mr. Mubarak, answers. And then Obama coun-ters, “alekem asalam.” Mubarak asks, “So, how are you doing habib, my friend?” Obama hesitates, “Uh, I’m doing fi ne uh…my friend, but uh… by the way, you’re on the speaker phone, Sec-retary of State Hillary Clinton is with me.”

Mubarak perks up, “Ah, Hillary, how are you?” “I’m concerned President Mubarak, these are very diffi cult times,” Hillary is all business. “Please give your husband, Bill, my very best regards,” Mubarak offers. “Yes, I will certainly relay to him your sentiments,” Hillary comments in her offi cial tone. Mubarak recalls, “Those

were the days… when Bill used to visit. We had some great times.” Hillary confi rms, “Yes I will certainly extend to my husband your fond words. “We had such good times, that Bill of yours is a lot of fun, he’s very charm-ing.” Hilary is quick, “Yes, fun and charming, but we…” Mubarak interrupts, “If my limou-sine could talk…”

President Obama jumps in, “Hosni, it’s important that we talk.” Mubarak agrees, “Yes, yes, but please call me Hose. I am a very informal relaxed man. I am just sitting at the kitchen table in my humble home as my wife bakes bread for our family.” “Listen Hose, we need to get a grasp on what is go-ing on over there with this revolt.” Mubarak assures them, “It’s no big deal; the streets are fi lled with people very similar to your Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.” Obama chal-lenges Mubarak, “Sir I think we both know that this situation is of grave consequence to not only your country but to the world.” Hillary interjects, “If I may mention, we are concerned about the safety of your citizens and your security as well.” “Your husband, Bill, was quite a guy, those were some good times; no they were great times. I would love for him to visit again, maybe not right now, but soon all will be good again with better times.”

Hillary is losing her patience, “President Mubarak, I will defi nitely be talking to my husband, but what I am talking to you about are these diffi cult times right now. We un-

derstand that this revolution might have originated from Facebook, do you have any knowledge or indication concerning how it began?” “Yes, of course,” Mubarak answers with great confi dence. “Zuckerberg stole it from the frat rowing team, then hooked up with Justin Timberlake and the rest is history.

“No! No! Where did the revolt begin?” Hillary and Obama yell together. Mubarak is calm, “You don’t understand the Middle East and the Arab world. It’s just a disagreement between me and my people. They want to eat everyday and I think they should eat ev-ery other month. But this is old news; I have already agreed to hold fair elections in Sep-tember. And I plan on running for re-election at that time.” Obama is stunned, “You must be kidding me; you plan on running for re-election?” Mubarak confi rms, “Yes, for sure, and I already have my ad campaign. I have hired George Stephanopoulos as my man-ager; he’s put together a great promotion. Get this, ‘vote for me… Hosni Mubarak, the lesser of two evils.’ Or ‘I’m just like the Wash-ington Barak but with a Mu in front of it.’ And how about this one, ‘would you rather have a ruthless, maniacal bloodthirsty leader or my very bad opponents?’ Killer stuff, yes?”

Hillary can’t take it, “You have to leave the country; do you have some place to go?” Mubarak answers, “I’m not really sure, I was wondering if Bill still has that cabin in West Virginia?” Hillary is confused, “What cabin? Where?” Obama implores, “You can’t come

to the United States, you should fl ee to someplace in your region.” Mubarak admits, “I’vebeen speaking to my good friend Benjamin in Jerusalem.”

“Are you out of your mind,” Obama isdumbfounded. “You’re not implying that you think you can go to Israel?”

Mubarak explains, “Well, it’s not as dif-fi cult as you may think. All I have to do isconvert to Judaism, then immigrate underthe law of return and move to Petach Tikveh.I’ll get a house, car, cash, and a refrigerator.I can even get an aliyah at the Kotel’s earlyvatikin minyan. I’m too old for military duty,but maybe I’ll work for Egged Transport se-curing bullet proof glass and steel reinforce-ments on the buses headed to Ariel and Kiry-at Arba.” Obama challenges Mubarak, “Doyou really think this is a viable solution to theproblem at hand?” “Well it may not be theoptimum plan,” Mubarak confesses. “Thereare some tenuous factors that might notplace this strategy in the best light. It’s goingto be a bit of a horse race to see which willhappen fi rst, the conclusion of the revolutionwith my departure or the Israeli government fi guring out who can conduct conversions.”

Banging at the door can be heard. Mubarak panics, “I think they are here at thepalace. They are going to break in and kill meand my family. We are going to have to leavequickly. I must tell my wife to take the breadsout of the oven, they will not have enough time to rise…” The tape ends.

Sunrise Day Camp, for children ages 3 to 16, is the onl y dedicated day camp in the nation for children with cancer. Operated by the Barry and Florence Friedberg JCC, it is situated on the Henry Kaufmann Camp-grounds, a 300-acre wooded site in Whea tley Heights in Suffolk County, just minutes from the Nassau County border.

The camp is free of charge to all children being treated for cancer or related disorders. It boasts one of the largest private swim com-plexes in the w orld and miles of wooded, tree-lined recreational areas. Children enjoy indoor air-conditioned shelters, log cabins, wooded campsites, ball fields and courts. Daily activities include swimming, basket-ball, baseball, volleyball, golf, cookouts and campfires. The campers can also take part in the art studio and music and drama w ork-shops.

“We bring a sense of normalcy to these children,” said the camp’s executive director, Michele Vernon. “We give them the fun and the laughter tha t was tak en from them because of their illness.”

Year-round programsSunrise Day Camp is muc h more than

just a summer camp. It offers a wide variety of programs all year long, including fund-raising and social events.

Sunrise on Wheels is an in-hospital out-reach program for children and families who are in a hospital’s outpatient clinic for all or part of the day. Waiting for checkups, labora-tory results and treatments can be a long and difficult process. But children’s faces light up when Sunrise volunteers roll out a rainbo w tie-dye trunk to reveal coloring books, crafts and stickers, hand-held g ames and e ven

Internet-ready laptops. One Sunday each month, known as Sun-

rise Sunday, campers get together with their camp friends and their summer counselors for an exciting, fun-filled day. The camp-like programs include sports, crafts and s wim-ming in an indoor pool.

Other programs coming up this y ear include school vacation programs (see Sun-

rise’s web site for dates); Superstar Showdown,in which children can show off their karaoketalents; and Juggling Life, in which kids learncircus skills and then put on a special perf or-mance for their friends and family. Transporta-tion for these events is provided by SunriseDay Camp from various area hospitals.

FundraisersSunrise Day Camp relies on the generosi-

ty of donors. It will be hosting the fifth annu-al Friends of Sunrise Cocktail Party andAuction on March 17 at the Glen Head Coun-try Club. On June 5, the camp’s sixth annualWalk to Help the Sun Rise will be held at theHenry Kaufmann Campgrounds in WheatleyHeights.

“We want these f amilies — the parents,the siblings — to enjoy their children, and wewant the children to enjoy their childhood,despite their illnesses,” said Vernon. “Theyneed to see that they are not alone, and therecan be some normalcy in their lives.”

During the hustle and bustle of Kosher-fest is it easy to get caught up in the crowd and miss something. The nar-

row aisles are always packed with press, distributors and food enthusiasts and so of-ten times in order to deal with the crowd you move more quickly then you should and end up overlooking something that is

truly spectacular. It is unfortunate that this year because of that exact reason I missed my fi rst opportunity to try Jack’s Gour-met Sausages the best new kosher product on the market. Lucky for me Jack’s Gour-met’s Operations Man-age, Dr Alan Broner, is dedicated to making sure that people get the chance to try his product and so several

months later at a tasting in Teaneck I would fi nd out that the product, Susie Fishbein called Kosherfest 2010 best in show, was not just one of the best new products but prob-ably one of the fi nest kosher products cur-rently available. Jack’s Gourmet is a com-pany that specializes in providing high end deli meats and sausages. A relatively new company, Jack’s is dedicated to offering the kind of products that until now has been al-most non existent in the kosher world.

Since they opened Dr. Broner has been traveling the Tri-State kosher grocery store circuit hosting tastings so that anyone in-

terested has an opportunity to try Jack’s various products. What I found most amaz-

ing about this is that many life long koshereaters have never had the opportunity totry things like Chorizo or Borewors Sau-sages. These unique sausages are usuallyonly available as a kohser product in theregions where they are culturally popularbut thanks to Jack’s Gourmet they can nowbe purchased at most kosher grocery stores.Currently there are fi ve different sausagesoffered. They are Chorizo, Bratwurst, Boer-wors, Hot Italian and Sweet Italian. Each ofthese sausages is amazing in their own wayand contain nothing but meat and spices. Noartifi cial ingredients or fi llers. Soon Jack’sGourmet will be releasing a lamb Marguzeand they are looking into creating a poultrybased line.

Providing these items to the kosher mar-ket is quite honestly groundbreaking. Final-ly traditionally ethnic dishes with these in-gredients can be authentically reproduced.Nothing illustrates this better then the factthat The Prime Grill one of New York’s mostprominent kosher restaurants now offers agumbo made with Jack’s Gormet Chorizo.Personally I used a combination of the Ital-ian sausage and the Chorizo to make a knockyour socks off Jambalaya last Shabbat. Ithink it is safe to say that Jack’s Gourmetwill have a prominent place in the homes ofkosher consumers everywhere

From the Heart of Jerusalem

One under the sunBy Samuel Fisher

The four-thirty morning air felt like ice-water on my sleepy fl esh. The Old City stones slumbered all around me, and above me stretched a starry nighttime sky. Not a soul stirred in the square as I made my way bit by bit. As I approached the Wall, inarticulate murmurs of prayer wafted into my ears. Deep within the walls of the sleeping city lay a core long since awake, pulsating with spiritual en-ergy.

My footsteps were the only sound as I turned the last corner and the Kotel came into view. Before me stood a mass of Jews gath-ered to pray. My step quickened as I hurried to join the community.

I entered the prayer area and started wrap-ping my tefi lin with the large group. There was not a trace of daytime in the sky. But as we began the morning blessings, a pink haze was just barely beginning to paint a water-color hue over the horizon. With more clarity than ever before, I felt the entire earth rotating under me and carrying the city slowly into the sun’s rays. The moon powerfully refl ected the sunlight from millions of miles away. The co-lossal planetary motions became tangible and apparent. Nature was unfathomably mighty.

The Chazzan led the group with a thick and penetrating voice. I was engrossed in my siddur, carefully following his every word and mouthing along with him. Gathered in a place sacred to all of our ancestors, praying with the same faith to the same God, Jews from all dif-ferent backgrounds unifi ed in prayer.

But behind I heard someone struggling to keep up with the group. The pace of prayer was particularly important because we intend-ed to say the Amida service precisely with the sunrise. But eventually this man behind me was so far behind the group that his prayer seemed entirely distinct from ours. Most strik-ing was that despite his aloofness, he prayed with vigorous volume. As hard as I tried to fo-cus on my words, his shameless voice was im-possible to ignore. I lost my place time again due to his persistent discordance.

As we proceeded, the lagging prayer only grew louder. I was relieved when we reached the Kaddish, where the congregation recited in unison. Here I heard the masses join in one and overpower the lone davener. With each word I said, I felt the mighty backing of a uni-versal community behind me. I was enjoying the single voice of the group gathered at the spiritual center of the world.

I could hardly believe when I heard the dis-senter still davening aloud after the Kaddish fi nished. He deliberately isolated himself from the entire group by insisting on his own pace. I was deeply disturbed that this davener seemed to have no interest in the rest of us. What is Judaism without the community? And sud-denly the dissenter was reciting the Chazzan’s Kaddish.

Now I understood. I looked up from my siddur and saw that gathered behind me was a group huddled around a second Chazzan. With slow, pained reluctances, my eyes contin-ued to wander and I saw many, perhaps six oth-er minyanim dispersed across the courtyard. I

listened closely and heard them each reciting distinct parts of the service. How wrong I had been. In this one place, universal Jewry was not united but blatantly fragmented.

As sunrise approached, “Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokainu, Hashem Echad” rang in my ears over and over as the minyanim advanced separately. I heard a once harmonious sym-phony painfully distorted by offset parts. The words drummed in my ears in monotonous competition. Individuals were yelling the pre-Amida blessings. The many voices rang in cacophony as everyone rushed to catch the sunrise. There was jumbled disarray. Heart-pounding anticipation became fury and chaos. Each man aloud to himself. Rising tones quick-ened. The masses erupted, “Ga’al Yisrael!”

And suddenly, silence. Dead silence struck the pandemonium instantly and uniformly as the hundreds of men come together in sound-less climax. All was still as the fi rst sunrays

stretched over the horizon. Out of the depthsof dissonance emerged a unity stirring in itsfi nality. For although the minyanim gathereddisjointedly, God only created one sun for usto share.

That morning I saw that unity is rooted inshared experience. It takes a phenomenon ofsuch grand consequence and scale as the sun-rise to bring the masses together. What weforget is that God shows us the sunrise everysingle day. Much too often entire communitiesget so involved in their own davening pacesthat they forget to look up and catch the light.

ARI’S INSURANCE ASSURANCEHi Ari,Aside from increasing my deductibles or reducing coverage, how can I decrease my auto insurance premium (my auto policy is already combined with my homeowners policy)?

Thank you,Rachel R.

Hi Rachel,The following three solutions may help:

1. Many auto insurance carriers offer the option of paying your entire premium in full at the time of the policy renewal. If you are fi nancially able to do so, you may be entitled to a premium reduction of approximately 10% or more.

2. If both you and your husband have not completed a defensive driving course in the last three years, you can now do so online at your convenience: https://harmonia.dmv.state.ny.us/pirp/. That would reduce your liability and collision premiums by 10% as well.

3. Lastly, you may review with your agent to confi rm that you are receiving all possible credits that you are entitled to (alarm, ABS, airbags, daytime running lights, multi-vehicle discount, homeowners credit, etc). Many times, insurance carriers do not have access to new vehicle information and do not provide you with the proper credits, which may decrease your rate by more than 5%.

A s of this writing there is only one defi -nite result of the Egyptian protests: as of September 2011, Hosni Mubarak

will be out of offi ce. The choices to replace Mubarak are many. But the sad truth is un-less someone from the ranks of the Egyp-tian military replaces Mubarak, the Muslim Brotherhood will probably control whoever is chosen to lead the government (Nasser,

Sadat and Mubarak all came from the mili-tary).

A potential can-didate to run a post-revolt Egypt is opposi-tion leader Mohamed El Baradei. If one is to believe the propaganda streaming from main-stream media, El Bara-dei is a moderate who will continue Egypt’s close ties with the Unit-ed States and Israel. However El Baradei has never been particularly friendly to the U.S. or Israel, and is making overtures to the Muslim Brotherhood.

El Baradei’s newfound friendship with extreme terrorist elements in his country is not surprising when one realizes that this is the man who, during his term in the United Nations, single-handedly delayed the impo-sition of sanctions on Iran for at least three years, allowing the rogue regime to get much further along the process before facing the (tepid) anger of the world.

First appointed to his position as Direc-tor General of the International Atomic En-ergy Agency (IAEA) in 1997, El Baradei’s real entrance into the world stage was in 2002

when he argued against the US invasion of Iraq.

Later that year, when the UN’s attention turned to Iran’s nuclear program, El Baradei became a more vociferous opponent of the West who did everything he could to protect the Iranian regime.

From 2002 to 2005, the quarterly IAEA Iran reports contained details of violations, obstruction of inspector’s visits, important inconsistencies between offi cial claims and the results of tests from samples taken from various facilities, and other forms of non-compliance. In each case the fi nal assess-ment prepared and signed by El Baradei ab-surdly concluded the mountain of evidence did not demonstrate Iran was seeking nucle-ar weapons.

This process delayed imposition of sanc-tions until Iran was much further along in the process. Eventually, even the reluctant countries; Russia, China, and India recog-nized the overwhelming evidence, rejected El-Baradei’s confusing assertions, and voted in September 2005 to offi cially start the sanctions process.

That didn’t stop El Baradei; in 2008 the Wall Street Journal accused him of trying to hamstring sanctions against Iran:

“Just weeks after President George Bush toured the Middle East to build Arab support for pressure on Tehran, Mr. ElBara-dei appeared on Egyptian television on Feb. 5 to urge Arabs in the opposite direction, in-sisting Iran was cooperating and should not be pressured… They cheer his self-imposed mission — to hamstring U.S. efforts to con-strain Iran’s program, whether or not the regime is violating its non-proliferation ob-ligations or pursuing nuclear weapons.” (El-Baradei’s Real Agenda 2/25/08)

In August of 2009 El Baradei was accused by Israel and France of hiding evidence that

Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon. Cit-ing “senior Western diplomats and Israeli offi cials”, Haaretz reported that the evi-dence had been submitted to the IAEA in a secret annex written by its inspectors in Iran and signed by the head of the IAEA team in Tehran. Of-fi cials from the US, France, Britain and Germany had been pressing El Baradei to include the material in the report that was to be released at the next IAEA’s general conference, but it was never released.

Later that year it was discovered Iran had built a secret nuclear plant, instead of scheduling an immediate inspection, El Baradei scheduled it for about a month down the road, giving Iran a big time window to “clean the joint up for company”. When the IAEA head arrived in Iran for the inspection one of the fi rst things he did was hold a press conference announcing that Israel, not Iran was the leading threat to peace in the Middle East.

For all that hard work protecting Iran, this “moderate” resistance leader was well rewarded. According to a September 2010 report in the Egyptian newspaper Al Youm Al Sabeh:

“In a communication to the Attorney Gen-eral of Egypt, Dr. Yasser Najib Abdel Mab-boud, has accused Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, former Director General of International Atomic Energy Agency and a candidate in the Egyptian presidential elections, of receiv-ing funds exceeding $7 million (US) from Iran’s leadership as support for ‘political re-

form in Egypt.”The “moderate” leader made a Meet the

Press appearance on Super Bowl Sunday and seemed to equivocate on the Egypt/Israeli

peace treaty, an obvious gesture to the Muslim Brotherhood who has said they want to cancel Camp David:

“It’s not just depen-dent on Egypt… It also depends on Israel. Israel should not continue to apply a policy of force, vis-a-vis the Palestinians, should agree to what ev-erybody knows, that Pal-estinians have the right to establish a state similar to what the proposal of for-mer...”

El Baradei spent most of his UN career doing all

that he can to blunt the U.S.-led efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weap-ons even to the extent of hiding evidence that proved Iran’s intentions and trying to defl ect blame on Israel. If his recent association with the Muslim Brotherhood and his continuing relationship with the radical government of Iran are any indication, El Baradei will not be a “friend of the Jews,” living here in the United States or in Israel.

TERMS OF SALE

Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts.

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the inter-est and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a tax lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) and the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being sub-ject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act(FIRREA),12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et.seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC) receivership.

The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The Nassau County Treasurer reserves the right to intervene in any bankruptcy case/litigation where the property affected by the tax liens sold by the Treasur-er is part of the bankruptcy estate. However,it is the sole responsibility of all tax lien purchasers to protect their legal interests in any bankruptcy case affecting their purchased tax lien, including but not limited to the filing of a proof of claim on their behalf, covering their investment in said tax lien. The Nas-sau County Treasurer and Nassau County and its agencies, assumes no responsibility for any legal representation of any tax lien purchaser in any legal proceeding including but not lim-ited to a bankruptcy case where the purchased tax lien is at risk.

The rate of interest and penalty at which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Trea-surer ten per cent of the amount for which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all amounts deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent thereto-fore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase shall be of no further effect.

Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of the sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale.

This list includes only tax liens on real estate located in the Town of Hempstead. Such other tax liens on real estate are advertised as follows:

Dear Aviva,I am a mother of two as well as a kin-

dergarten teacher. I have come to realize that I use up all of my energy and patience throughout the day to deal properly with my 20 rambunctious students. However, that leaves my 2 little ones at home getting the short end of the stick. By the time I get them home and walk in the door, I have had it, and I have little to no patience to deal with my own kids.

I can’t quit my job, although I do love it, and need it fi nancially, but I don’t like how I am able to keep it all together during the day, only to let it all out at my kids in the evening. What to do?

-Mean Mommy

Dear M.M.,Sorry, but I really can’t bring myself to call

you “Mean”, so I had to change your alias to “M.M.” You know, that actually may be one of the solutions here—M&Ms. Seriously, you pop them in your mouth on the way home from work so that you are not famished enough to take a chunk out of the granite with your teeth (or in my case, Formica) when you walk in the door. Here’s a little trick that I use, especially on Fridays. When I leave the offi ce, and, to use my sister’s ex-pression, can feel my stomach eating itself, I splurge on a quick slice of pizza to go, wolf it down on the way home and greet the little ones with cheese-induced tranquility.

My advice to moms who are having trou-ble holding it together for their kids is this: eat, sleep and use the bathroom. That’s right, the bathroom. Needing to use the bathroom can make a person more likely to lose their temper. So make sure that your basic needs are met before you attempt to meet the needs of others.

Most working moms give their all at work and have very little reserve left when they come home. Problem is, your students are likely pushing the same buttons as your kids, so your tolerance for whining is probably lower than a woman who’s working in a non-school setting.

Well, except for therapists, but a 38-year old whine is really on a different pitch than

that of a 5-year old. But back to you. What can you change at work? I’m talking small changes. Like delegating more to your assis-tants. Or, dare I say, (and this is very hard for me to write, since I send my preschoolers off knowing that their amazing teachers beam at them the whole day), don’t be such a great teacher. Don’t be a bad teacher, but don’t try to put on your best face or your best “Five little monkeys” voice. Give a weaker smile, sprinkled with some pearly whites. Or, you can even look into an administrative posi-tion for next year—you’ll still be in the set-ting that you enjoy, but you won’t be in the trenches of it.

Now let’s explore the changes we can make at home. Try to get involved in their imaginary play. It will keep things lighter for you and not give them an opportunity to dis-obey you. It doesn’t take much. Your son is setting up stuffed animals, ask how much a ticket to his zoo costs. Your daughter is cra-dling her doll, give the doll a kiss and say, “How old is your baby?” And then go make yourself a cup of tea (or in my case, a milk-shake). Research has proven (and I’m talking about the research that is reliable and valid), three important components to a good par-ent for young children are: love with limits, emotion coaching (as in stay away from, “Don’t cry”, and change that to, “Oy, you’re so upset.”) and getting involved in their imaginary play.

When we come home, and our focus is just to feed the kids and get them into bed, we are missing the moment. The moment of fostering a relationship with them. And now is when they are primed for it.

Two other pieces of advice: 1. If you are married, work on that relationship more than keeping your cool with your kids. To give an extreme example, research is only now dis-covering an effective way to mitigate child abuse. And that is when the mother and fa-ther are happy with each other. 2. If the tide is still against you, consider Zoloft along with those M&Ms…

TWO NORTH SHORE HEBREW ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS NAMED AS INTEL SCIENCE TALENT SEARCH

SEMIFINALISTS

Director of Research Allen Sachs with Sarah Toledano & Jonathan Nachman

Jonathan Nachman and Sarah Toledano, seniors at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck, have been named as Semifinalists in the 2011 Intel Science Talent Search. Often called the “Nobel Prize for High School Students,” the Intel STS is one of America’s most prestigious science research competitions for high school seniors. Semifinalists and their schools each receive $1,000. The 40 Finalists of the 2011 Intel STS will be announced on January 26, 2011. These students will travel to Washington, D.C. in March to compete for over $630,000 in awards. Jonathan’s project was titled “Green Micropatterning: Stamping Candida antarctica ipase onto Poly caprolactone .” His research produced a completely new and environmentally friendly way to produce microprocessors. Sarah’s research, titled “Strychnine Distinguishes between Two Populations of

1 Glyince Receptors in H Cells” determined a way to distinguish between two populations of nerve receptors—information which may prove vital to the development of more effective and safer anesthetics. This is the second year in a row that North Shore Hebrew Academy High School has had multiple winners in this renowned competition and the fifth out of six years with a semifinalist.
