Dr Maurice Mizrahi – The secrets of Jewish survival (Tish’a b’Av)

22.07.2015

A few days from now is Tish’a b’Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. Many catastrophes befell the Jews on that day, the Ninth of Av, including the destruction of the two temples in Jerusalem. Each of these tragedies, by itself, could have led to the disappearance of Judaism. But none did. Why? What made the Jews survive as a distinct people, when so many other civilizations have disappeared?

Orthodox Jews Taking Jiu Jitsu Lessons for Self Defense

21.07.2015

A new version of martial arts is being taught to and practiced by Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn.

CBS2’s Scott Rapoport talked to a man who has been called the “most dangerous Jew in NYC” — Although you wouldn’t know it by looking at him.

Former NYC probation officers and Washington Heights native Steve Isaak, 67, has developed a personalized style of martial arts called

Shima Juijitsu.

He’s been teaching it for more than 40 years to a devoted following of the city’s most observant, Orthodox Jews, in a Brighton Beach studio. Part of his mission is for it to be self-defense from anti-semetism.

“Everyone need self-defense but they need it more than most, based on the history of Jewish people,” Isaak said.

His students come in all shapes, sizes, ages and sexes.

There are women, too, who want to learn to defend themselves — like Chavi Charlap.

And what does she get from the class?

“I get confidence,” Charlap replied.

Because they are Orthodox, the women train separately from the men. And though touching is traditionally verboten, some of his female students permit it during training, saying Isaak’s classes are conducted with respect to their Orthodox values.

“If I’m in a life threatening situation and because of this I can save my life and other lives then it’s definitely worth it,” Charlap said.

Isaak turned to martial arts as a young, 12-year-old boy after he says he was beaten up by two older kids.

By the time he got to college, he was teaching self-defense. He opened his own martial arts school shortly after that.

Isaak says the secret and power of Shima Juijitsu is that you don’t have to be athletic or powerful. That it is based on efficiency, not strength, Rapoport reported.

The cerebral Sensai says he teaches his students a series of moves that can deflect and derail an attacker.

His student Rabbi David Goldshyn with the Jewish Center Of Brighton Beach says it’s effective and necessary.

“You don’t want to get into a fight every two seconds,” Goldshyn said. “But you also want to have the confidence that if something happens you can protect yourself.”

Through the years, Isaak says he’s taught Shima Juijitsu to cops, prosecutors, judges and even some in Israel’s defense forces.

Isaak says he now now lives in Myrtle Beach, but comes back to Brighton Beach every two weeks for 5 days at a time to teach his Orthodox students. He says his students demand it.

Howard Sterns Daughter Observes Shabbat

09.07.2015

The story of Howard Stern’s daughter was published by jewinthecity.com. Allison’s interview with Emily Stern brought this wonderful story to public attention.

Strictly Kosher series

All rights belong to ITV.

The Jewish community in Manchester is a kaleidoscope of tradition, religion and extravagance. This documentary film opens a window into their lives and shows a wide variety of ritual and celebrations.

Strictly Kosher, filmed, produced and directed by Chris Malone, revolves around three families and their friends and paints a colourful picture of the juxtaposition between the many different personalities and levels of religious observance in Manchester’s Jewish community. It offers an insight into lifestyles which range from one extreme — traditional and strict – to the other — modern and extravagant – but are bound together by one faith.

The film follows Bernette Clarke, a very lively and modern Orthodox Jewish mother of three. Bernette talks openly about her faith, explains the traditional approach her family has to the Sabbath and other Jewish festivals, and offers her views on the wider Jewish community.

Joel Lever and his wife Joanne also allow the cameras into their lives. Joel’s family are traditionally Jewish by birth, but he admits they are not very religious. Joel puts his all into his fashion boutique ‘Mon Amie’ which is frequented by the Jewish ladies of Prestwich — by making the Jewish women the talk of the town, he feels he is serving the local community.

83-year-old Jack Aizenberg tells the ultimate rags to riches story. He was just eleven years old at the outbreak of the Second World War and his family were killed in Belzec Extermination camp in 1942 when he was just 14. Against the odds Jack survived and made his way to Manchester, England in 1945. Jack feels that religion is not as important as basic common humanity and does not practice all the requirements of the Jewish faith, but he’s a celebrated survivor venerated by the Jewish community in Manchester. Having made a successful career in the luggage trade, Jack is thrilled to have the money to throw his grandson a lavish Bar Mitzvah — a special moment caught on camera.

JamShalom & Phishalom Summer ’15 Fundraiser

12.05.2015

Kindly donate here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ja…

4,000 years ago the father and mother of all Spirituality, Abraham and Sarah, set up the first JamShalom tent in the crossroads of ancient Canaan. Three Holy Chillers stopped by their tent for some great food and great company (and rumor has it that they also jammed up a storm), and the rest is history.

Fast-forward to 1965: The Grateful Dead are born, and holy chilling tents are suddenly popping up on every crossroads across the country.

Jump 44 more years to 2009, and PHISHalom sets up its first tent on Phish-Lot, bringing together the ancient Jewish traditions of hospitality and good food, joined with the love and family we first encountered on Dead-Lot.

Six years later, and PHISHalom and JamShalom have become a familiar home to hundreds of fans at Phish concerts and music festivals, and the Golden Shore has become a regular destination for Holy Chillers who find their way to Israel.

Look for us on the road at your favorite concerts and festivals this summer, and stop by for a holy chill, some great food, an open jam, and endless friendship

הקליפ מלווה את המסע שעברו בחודשים שחלפו מאז החטיפה, משפחות הנערים החטופים, חבריהם לישיבה ועם ישראל כולו.

דוד ד’אור, כותב ומלחין השיר: “פחות משנה חלפה מאז נעתקה נשימתו של עם שלם. עם שלם התפלל כאיש אחד לשובם הביתה בשלום. נפלה בחלקי הזכות ליטול חלק בהנצחת אותה תחושת האחדות, תפילת הרבים של העם וזיכרונם הברוך של שלושת הנערים”.

17th of Tammuz – Complete Connection – Torah Insights

http://www.naaleh.com

By Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller

On the 17th of Tammuz five horrible events occurred in Jewish history. One of these events was the chat ha’agel, the sin of the golden calf. A calf symbolizes the power of the people- the Jewish people were essentially worshiping themselves. From here we learn how to have a complete connection with Hashem, G-d.

Farewell to Jerusalem Sacred Music Festival 2014

2014 brought the winds of war to our region, throwing a shadow over the festival that threated to unravel the delicate fabric and ideals upon which it is based. But despite this, international and local artists came to Jerusalem imbued with a sense of commitment and a renewed belief in the message that calls on the Middle East’ peoples to open their hearts and allow music to unite us.

In what is now an annual tradition, the festival offers unique experiences that bring together international and Israeli artists in performances under a canopy of stars, opposite Jerusalem’s ancient walls and in houses of prayer. Each year we invite audiences to take part in “A Night Stroll,” a magical white night at the Tower of David comprising performances, ceremonies, some whispering and a series of “Testimony Encounters” — guided tours that trace the sacred sounds that play year-round in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Day, 2015: Rightful Owners of the Temple Mount

17.05.2015

The holiday known as ‘Jerusalem Day’ is observed in Israel every year on the Hebrew date of Iyar 28 – the day corresponding with June 7th, 1967 on which the city of Jerusalem was liberated and united by the paratrooper brigade of the Israel Defense Forces in the Six Day War.

48 years later to the day, on May 17th, 2015, a crowd numbering 1,000 Jews converged at the gate of the Temple Mount, eager to ascend the mountain in joyous acknowledgment of the miraculous return of the city to Jewish sovereignty and in fulfillment of the Biblical commandment to revere the place of the Holy Temple. Most of all, they came to pray at the holy site.

The discriminatory practices and self-styled, anti-democratic ‘rules’ of the police prevented Jewish prayer, but once again fully allowed the demonic incitement of crowds of Muslim thugs and mercenaries who dogged every step of the Jewish pilgrims on the Mount and generally did their best to cause the Jews misery. And while the Jewish worshipers waited on line in the sun for as long as three hours for a chance to ascend even briefly on this special day, many were turned away in disappointment.

But the Jews who gathered that morning at the Mugrabi Gate waiting to ascend to the Temple Mount had the honor of welcoming and hearing a hero in their midst: renowned Torah scholar Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, founder and president of the Temple Institute, was himself an IDF paratrooper who fought for the liberation of the Temple Mount on this very day, 48 years ago. The rabbi addressed the enthusiastic crowd and spoke of his experiences as a soldier in this very spot on that fateful day. Rabbi Ariel recalled his fallen comrades who gave their lives for the return of the Temple Mount to the Jewish people, and encouraged the assembled to continue in the heroes’ footsteps by demonstrating Jewish presence and rightful ownership of the Mount.

Jerusalem of Gold – Yerushalayim shel Zahav -Ofra Haza- with English Lyrics

“Jerusalem of Gold” (Hebrew: ירושלים של זהב‎, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav) is a popular Israeli song written by Naomi Shemer in 1967. The original song described the Jewish people’s 2000-year longing to return to Jerusalem; Shemer added a final verse after the Six-Day War to celebrate Jerusalem’s unification under Israeli control.

At that time, the Old City was under Jordanian rule; Jews had been barred from entering, and many holy sites had been desecrated. Only three weeks after the song was published, the Six-Day War broke out. The song was the battle cry and morale booster of the Israeli troops. Shemer even sang it for them before the war and festival, making them among the first in the world to hear it. On 7 June, the Israel Defense Forces captured the eastern part of Jerusalem and the Old City from the Jordanians. When Shemer heard the paratroopers singing “Jerusalem of Gold” at the Western Wall, she wrote a final verse, reversing the phrases of lamentation found in the second verse. The line about shofars sounding from the Temple Mount is a reference to an event that actually took place on 7 June.

This beautiful version is from the late OFRA HAZA.

The Festival of Shavuot

Intimately connected to the land of Israel, Shavuot is the festival of the bringing of the first-fruits to the Holy Temple. Shavuot is also the anniversary of the Sinai revelation and the receiving of Torah by Israel, and since the destruction of the Holy Temple the emphasis of Shavuot has been Torah study. Ultimately, Torah study and the bringing of the first-fruits are both expressions of the centrality of Torah in our lives. When we build the Holy Temple we best exemplify the fulfillment of Torah in this world by the bringing of the first-fruits.

Prominent NY Rabbi Arthur Schneier Honored With Papal Knighthood

03.05.2015

Lenny Bruce famously said that even a Catholic in New York is Jewish, but that didn’t stop one of the city’s most prominent Jewish leaders from accepting a touch of the Holy See on Monday.

Rabbi Arthur Schneier of Manhattan’s Park East Synagogue was knighted and made a member of the Papal Order of St. Sylvester at a ceremony on the Upper East Side, joining luminaries such as industrialist Oskar Schindler and comedian Bob Hope who have held the title.

“It’s Pope Francis’ very touching and tender way of confirming [Rabbi Schneier] and the good works that he’s done on behalf of religious freedom, international peace and justice,” said longtime pal and neighbor Cardinal Timothy Dolan, head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

The cardinal grinned broadly as he pinned the order’s gold cross to the 84-year-old Holocaust survivor’s lapel. “It’s an honor.”

During his career, Rabbi Schneier campaigned vigorously alongside other faith leaders for greater religious freedom and tolerance, as well as helping to build ties between Jews and Roman Catholics following World War II.

“In 1965, in the height of religious persecution in the Soviet Union, I mobilized with Robert Kennedy religious leaders of all faiths in an appeal to our first religious freedom mission to Moscow, but via Rome,” Rabbi Schneier said. “We need to strive together…for a world of mutual acceptance—not tolerance, acceptance.”

Rabbi Schneier has been associated with the Park East Synagogue since 1962.

After the ceremony, the new knight shared a Champagne toast with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Mayor David Dinkins and former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, as well as half a dozen of the city’s most prominent religious leaders.

“I’m here to pay tribute to a dear friend and a good leader,” Dr. Kissinger said. “He’s contributed to the solution of one our great problems,” promoting peace between the major world faiths.

The knighthood, which may be bestowed on Catholics and non-Catholics alike, is intended to honor significant contributions to humanity.

The ancient order’s origin is somewhat murky, though it apparently was first intended to honor lay Catholics who showed intense devotion to the church.

In 1905, Pope Pius X changed the Order of St. Sylvester to include non-Catholic honorees, separating it from the so-called Golden Militia, of which it had previously been a part.

In addition to the gold cross, the official St. Sylvester regalia includes a red-and-black uniform and a sword.

“You mentioned about my getting a sword? I have a problem with a sword, though,” Rabbi Schneier insisted. “I’m for peace!”

“Turn it into a plowshare,” Cardinal Dolan suggested.

A new anti-Semitism? Why thousands of Jewish citizens are leaving France

Some Jewish citizens in France say there is a rising tide of a new, more dangerous anti-Semitism in the country. In turn, thousands are leaving for Israel and other countries. In an effort to reassure Jewish people in France that they are safe, the government has taken strict measures against anti-Semitic demonstrations. Special correspondent Martin Seemungal reports.

Why have anti-Semitic attacks on French Jews nearly doubled in one year?

Turkey’s Great Synagogue inaugurated after restoration

26.03.2015

The Great Synagogue, which is considered the third largest in the Europe and the largest in Turkey, has been inaugurated for worship after a-four-year-long restoration in northwestern Edirne province of Turkey on March 26, 2015. The synagogue was in use until 1983 and the restoration was launched by Turkey’s General Directorate of Foundations. (Footage by Salih Baran / Anadolu Agency)

Historical synagogue in Turkey’s northwest to open soon

09.03.2015

A historical synagogue, the subject of an outcry due to a governor’s remarks to turn it into a museum, is waiting to be reopened for services at the end of the month.

The Great Synagogue, in the northwestern province of Edirne, will open on March 26, after undergoing a four year restoration.

Jewish community head, İshak İbrahimzadeh, who visited the synagogue before the opening ceremony, said the opening of the restored synagogue was a milestone that made him very happy.

Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç and Turkey’s chief rabbi, İshak Haleva, will attend the opening, along with many other Jewish community members from both Turkey and abroad.

As Europe’s second largest synagogue, the Edirne Synagogue was built in 1907 after a widespread fire in 1905 that burnt down 13 separate synagogues. The synagogue was constructed using the architectural model of Vienna’s Leopoldstadter Tempel and abandoned in 1983.

The temple was transferred to Thrace University to be used as a museum after its restoration but after much criticism from the Jewish community in Turkey, the building was transferred back to the General Directorate for Foundations.

Edirne Gov. Dursun Şahin created uproar when he told reporters on Nov. 21, 2014, that the synagogue would be turned into a museum, citing the recent Israeli raid on the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

“While those bandits blow winds of war inside al-Aqsa and slay Muslims, we build their synagogues,” Şahin said.

Şahin later offered an “apology” to Haleva, claiming that his proposal to turn the synagogue into a museum as a reprisal for Israel’s policies over Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque “had no connection” to the Turkish Jewish community.

YOUR HOLIDAY GUIDE: Passover 5775 – 2015 (April 3-11, 2015)

Your Passover Guide – 2015

Editor’s NotePassover begins this year on Friday evening, April 3, 2015, and continues until nightfall, April 11, 2015. We bring you a brief overview of how and when to prepare your home for Passover, along with a daily holiday schedule for the entire holiday. If you have any further questions please consult your local orthodox rabbi or, in case you don’t have one, write to us atwww.chabad.org/asktherabbi.Please read this guide in its entirety before the beginning of the holiday. Some holiday items need pre-holiday “action.” We welcome you to print it and carry it with you in the days before Passover for easy reference, and to distribute this guide to whomever will benefit from it.

Operation Zero Chametz

Passover is a holiday that mandates our complete involvement, not just during its eight days but for weeks before. Aside from the regular holiday obligations, we are also commanded (Exodus 13:3–7): “No leaven shall be eaten . . . For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread . . . and no leaven shall be seen of yours [in your possession].”

We accomplish this by cleaning and inspecting our homes well before Passover, and gradually eliminating chametz from every room and crevice. This intensive cleaning takes place in Jewish homes throughout the world.

What is Chametz?

Chametz is any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt, or their derivatives, which has leavened (risen). Our sages have determined that flour from any of these five grains that comes in contact with water or moisture will leaven, unless fully baked within eighteen minutes. As we are commanded by the Torah, if a food contains even a trace of chametz, we don’t eat it, we don’t derive benefit from it, and we make sure not to have any of it in our possession for all the days of Passover.

To be certain that a product is kosher for Passover, it must have rabbinical certification. Otherwise it is possible that it contains chametz ingredients, or traces of chametz if it was processed on the same equipment as chametz products. Thus, unless a product is certified Kosher for Passover, we consider it chametz, and make sure not to have it in our possession on Passover.

Note: Matzah used all year round might be pure chametz, and not for Passover use. Only matzahs baked especially for Passover may be used on Passover.

Kitniyot

The medieval Jewish sages placed a ban on eating legumes (kitniyot) on Passover, because they are similar in texture to chametz—even bread can be made out of their flour—so people might assume that if, for example, cornbread can be eaten on Passover, wheat or rye bread can be eaten too. This prohibition includes rice, beans and corn. This injunction was unanimously accepted by Ashkenazic Jews; many Sephardic Jews, however, continue to eat kitniyot on Passover. If you are Sephardic, speak to your rabbi to determine your family and community tradition.

The prohibition is only with regards to consumption ofkitniyot; there is no obligation, however, to destroy or sell kitniyot products before Passover.

Getting Rid of Chametz

Search and Destroy

Any area where one can reasonably suspect that chametz might have been brought throughout the year must be thoroughly cleaned. This includes the home, office, cars, garage, etc. Check carefully to ensure that no crumb is left behind: check and clean desks, drawers, closets, clothing pockets (especially the children’s), pocketbooks, briefcases and attache cases, beds, dining and living room furniture, bookcases, etc.

If You Can’t Destroy it, Sell It

Chametz that you don’t want to destroy, and utensils used throughout the year (and not koshered for Passover), should be stored in closets or rooms which will be sealed for the duration of Passover. The chametz should be sold to a non-Jew through a rabbi.Click here to sell your chametz online.

Preparing the Kitchen

Every part of our homes is cleaned for Passover, but we pay special attention to the kitchen, because (a) that’s where most of our chametz hangs out during the year, and (b) we will be using our kitchens to prepare our Passover food.

Dishes and Utensils

Today, most Passover-savvy homes have a special set of dishes, silverware, pots, pans and other utensils for Passover use only. If necessary, certain year-round utensils can be used—provided they are koshered for Passover. This gets rather complex—you’ll need to consult a competent rabbi about your particular utensils, but you can click here for the basic koshering procedures.

Stove

Thoroughly clean and scour every part of the stove. Heat the oven to the highest temperature possible for 1–2 hours. Heat the grates and the iron parts of the stove (and the elements, if electric) until they are red-hot. It is suggested that the oven and the stove top should be covered with aluminum foil afterwards for the duration of Passover.

Microwave Ovens

Clean the oven thoroughly. Fill a completely clean container, that was not used for 24 hours, with water. Turn on the microwave and let it steam heavily. Turn it off and wipe out the inside.

To use the microwave during Passover, use a flat, thick, microwave-safe object as a separation between the bottom of the oven and the cooking dish. When cooking or warming, the food should be covered on all sides.

Sink

For 24 hours before koshering the sink, do not pour hot water from chametz pots into it. Meticulously clean the sink, boil water in a clean pot which was not used for 24 hours, and pour three times onto every part of the sink, including the drain stopper. Then line the sink with foil or liner.

Refrigerator, Freezer, Cupboards, Closets, Tables, and Counters

Thoroughly clean and scrub them to remove any crumbs and residue. Afterwards, place a heavy covering over those surfaces that come into contact with hot food or utensils.

Tablecloths and Napkins

Launder without starch.

Cars, Garages, etc.

Vacuum your car or van; thoroughly clean your basement, garage, or any property you own. Special care should be taken with items you will be using, or rooms you will be accessing, during Passover.

Passover Shopping

While shopping for Passover we must be careful that the foods we buy are not only kosher, but are also kosher for Passover—that is, chametz-free.

Starting “From Scratch”

All fruits and vegetables, as well as all kosher cuts of meat and kosher fish, are kosher for Passover, provided they have been prepared in accordance with Jewish law and have not come into contact withchametz or chametz utensils.

The prevailing custom in Ashkenazi communities is that on Passover we do not eat rice, millet, corn, mustard, legumes (beans, etc.) or food made from any of these.

Commercially Prepared Products

Today there are many kosher-for-Passover packaged foods available. However, care must be used to purchase only those packaged foods that have reliable rabbinical supervision which is valid for Passover.

Obviously, all leavened foods made from—or that contain among their ingredients—wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt are actual chametz and are prohibited on Passover. Examples are bread, cake, cereal, spaghetti, beer and whiskey.

Check That Medicine Cabinet!

Many medicines, sprays, and cosmetics contain chametz. Consult a competent rabbi as to which ones may be used on Passover. The same applies to pet food.

The Seder Ingredients

Matzah, the “Food of Faith”

When our forefathers left Egypt, they were in such a hurry that there was no time to wait for the dough to rise. They therefore ate matzah, unleavened bread. With only this food (but with great faith), our ancestors relied on the Almighty to provide sustenance for the entire Jewish nation—men, women and children. Each year, to remember this, we eat matzah on the first two nights of Pesach, thereby fulfilling the Torah’s commandment, “Matzot shall you eat . . .”

The Humblest of Foods

Matzah symbolizes faith. In contrast to leavened bread, matzah is not enriched with oil, honey or other substances. It consists only of flour and water, and is not allowed to rise. Similarly, the only “ingredients” for faith are humility and submission to G‑d, which come from recognizing our “nothingness” when compared with the infinite wisdom of the Creator.

One of the holiday’s primary obligations is to eat matzah during the Seder. It is strongly recommended to use shmurah matzah to fulfill this commandment.

Matzah is eaten three times during the Seder:

After telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt (Maggid), washing our hands for bread (Rachtzah) and reciting the blessings (Motzi Matzah), 1¾ ounces of matzah are eaten.
For the sandwich (Korech), ¾ of an ounce of matzah is eaten.
For the afikoman at the end of the meal (Tzafun), a minimum of ¾ of an ounce (and ideally 1½ ounces) of matzah are eaten.

In each instance, the matzah should be eaten within 4 minutes.

How much is one ounce of Matzah?

Half a piece of shmurah matzah is generally one ounce.

If store-bought matzot are used, the weight of the box of matzot divided by the number of pieces shows how much matzah is the equivalent of one ounce.

Shmurah Matzah

Shmurah means “watched,” and it is an apt description of this matzah, the ingredients of which (the flour and water) are watched from the moment of harvesting and drawing.

The day chosen for the harvesting of the wheat is a clear, dry day. The moment it is harvested, the wheat is inspected to ensure that there is absolutely no moisture. From then on, careful watch is kept upon the grains as they are transported to the mill. The mill is meticulously inspected by rabbis and supervision professionals to ensure that every piece of equipment is absolutely clean and dry. After the wheat is milled, the flour is again guarded in its transportation to the bakery. Thus, from the moment of harvesting through the actual baking of the matzah, the flour is carefully watched to ensure against any contact with water.

The water, too, is carefully guarded to prevent any contact with wheat or other grain. It is drawn the night before the baking, and kept pure until the moment it is mixed with the flour to bake the shmurah matzah.

Also in the bakery itself, shmurah matzot are under strict supervision to avoid any possibility of leavening during the baking process. This intensive process and careful guarding gives the shmurah matzah an added infusion of faith and sanctity—in fact, as the matzah is being made, all those involved constantly repeat, “L’shem matzot mitzvah”—“We are doing this for the sake of the mitzvah of matzah.”

Shmurah matzot are round, kneaded and shaped by hand, and are similar to the matzot that were baked by the Children of Israel as they left Egypt. It is thus fitting to useshmurah matzah on each of the two Seder nights for the matzot of the Seder plate.

Passover Wine

For each of the four cups at the Seder, it is preferable to use undiluted wine. However, if needed, the wine may be diluted with grape juice. (One who cannot drink wine may use grape juice alone.)

One drinks a cup of wine four times during the Seder:

At the conclusion of kiddush.
After telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt, before eating the matzah ofMotzi Matzah.
At the conclusion of the Grace After Meals.
After reciting the Hallel.

It is preferable to drink the entire cup each time. However, it is sufficient to drink only the majority of each cup.

How large a cup should be used? One that contains at least 3½ fluid ounces.

The Bitter Herbs

The bitter herbs are eaten once after the matzah (step 9 of the Seder), and then again with matzah in the Korech sandwich (step 10).

How much bitter herbs should one eat each time? Three-quarters of an ounce (a little more than 7 grams).

Either of two different types of bitter herbs may be used at the Seder, individually or in combination:

Peeled and grated raw horseradish.
Romaine lettuce. [Some suggest that the stalks be used rather than the leafy parts, because of the difficulty in properly examining and ridding the leafy parts of commonly present tiny insects.] Three-quarters of an ounce of stalks covers an area 3″ × 5″.

Introduction to the Seder Plate

Preparing the items for the Seder plate requires some time. It is best to prepare all the Seder foods before the onset of the holiday, in order to avoid halachic questions.

Three matzot are placed on top of each other on a plate or napkin, and then covered. (Some also have the custom to separate the matzot from each other with interleaved plates, napkins or the like.)

The matzot are symbolic of the three castes of Jews: Priests, Levites, and Israelites. They also commemorate the three measures of fine flour that Abraham told Sarah to bake into matzah when they were visited by the three angels (Genesis 18:6).

On a practical level, three matzot are needed so that when we break the middle matzah, we are still left with two whole ones to pronounce the hamotzi blessing (as required on Shabbat and holidays).

On a cloth or plate placed above the three matzot, we place the following items:

The Shank Bone

A piece of roasted meat represents the lamb that was the special Paschal sacrifice on the eve of the exodus from Egypt, and annually, on the afternoon before Passover, in the Holy Temple.

Since we can’t offer the Paschal sacrifice in the absence of the Holy Temple, we take care to use something that is relatively dissimilar to the actual offering. Accordingly, many communities have the custom to use a roasted chicken neck or the like.

Preparation: Roast the neck on all sides over an open fire on the stove. Afterwards, some have the custom to remove the majority of the meat of the neck.

Role in the Seder: The shank bone is not eaten. After the meal it is refrigerated, and used a second time on the Seder plate the following night.

The Egg

A hard-boiled egg represents the holiday offering brought in the days of the Holy Temple. The meat of this animal constituted the main part of the Passover meal.

Preparation: Boil one egg per Seder plate, and possibly more for use during the meal.

Role in the Seder: Place one egg on each plate. As soon as the actual meal is about to begin, remove the egg from the Seder plate and use during the meal.

A popular way of eating these eggs is to chop and mix them with the saltwater which was set on the table. The eggs prepared this way are then served as an appetizer before the fish.

The Bitter Herbs

Bitter herbs (maror) remind us of the bitterness of the slavery of our forefathers in Egypt. Fresh grated horseradish, romaine lettuce, and endive are the most common choices.

Preparation: This must be done before the holiday begins. Peel the raw horseradish roots, and rinse them off well.

Note: Dry the roots very carefully, since they will be eaten with the matzah later on for the korech sandwich; to avoidgebrokts, not even a drop of water should be left on the horseradish.

Next, grate the horseradish with a hand grater or electric grinder. (Whoever will be grating the horseradish will begin to shed copious tears or cough a lot. Covering the face with a cloth from the eyes downwards helps prevent inhalation of the strong, bitter odor.)

The lettuce or endive leaves must be washed, carefully checked for insects, and thoroughly dried. You can instead use just the stalks, which are easier to clean and check.

Place the horseradish on the Seder plate, on top of a few cleaned, dried leaves of romaine lettuce.

Role in the Seder: After the recital of most of the haggadah comes the ritual handwashing. Then matzah is eaten, followed by some maror, followed in turn by a sandwich of matzah and maror.

The Paste

A mixture of apples, nuts and wine which resembles the mortar and brick made by the Jews when they toiled for Pharaoh.

Preparation: Shell walnuts and peel apples and chop finely. Mix together and add a small amount of wine.

Role in the Seder: This is used as a type of relish into which the maror is dipped (and then shaken off) before eating.

The Vegetable

A non-bitter root vegetable alludes to the backbreaking work of the Jews as slaves. The Hebrew letters of the word karpas can be arranged to spell “perech samech.”

Perech means backbreaking work, and samech is numerically equivalent to 60, referring to 60 myriads, equaling 600,000, which was the number of Jewish males over 20 years of age who were enslaved in Egypt.

Preparation: Peel an onion or boiled potato. Cut off a slice and place on Seder plate. On the table, next to the Seder plate, place a small bowl of salted water.

Role in the Seder: After recital of kiddush, the family goes to the sink and ritually washes hands, but without saying the usual blessing.

Then the head of the household cuts a small piece of the root vegetable used, dips it in saltwater, and gives each person at the table a very small piece over which they say the appropriate blessing. Care should be taken that each person eats less than 17 grams (about ½ ounce).

The Lettuce

The lettuce symbolizes the bitter enslavement of our fathers in Egypt. The leaves of romaine lettuce are not bitter, but the stem, when left to grow in the ground, turns hard and bitter.

So it was with our enslavement in Egypt. At first the deceitful approach of Pharaoh was soft and sensible, and the work was done voluntarily and even for pay. Gradually, it evolved into forced and cruel labor.

Preparation: Romaine lettuce is often very sandy. Wash each of the leaves separately, checking very carefully for insects. (Pat gently with a towel and let sit until completely dry, so that there will be no moisture to come in contact with the matzah.)

Depending on how much romaine lettuce is needed, it can take several hours to prepare. This task should be completed before candle-lighting time on the first night. Prepare enough leaves for both nights and store in the refrigerator. Soaking of the romaine leaves may not be done on the holiday.

Role in the Seder: The lettuce is used in conjunction with horseradish. It is used when eating the maror and when eating the matzah-and-maror sandwich.

Place the leaves in two piles on the Seder plate, one under the maror and one separately at the bottom.

Keep a stack of extra cleaned leaves handy in the refrigerator in case additional leaves are needed.

The Seder Service in a Nutshell

Click here for a more detailed Seder wizard, and here for a spiritual guide to the Seder.

In Our Forefathers’ Footsteps

At the Seder, every person should see himself as if he were going out of Egypt. Beginning with our Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we recount the Jewish people’s descent into Egypt and recall their suffering and persecution. We are with them as G‑d sends the Ten Plagues to punish Pharaoh and his nation, and follow along as they leave Egypt and cross the Sea of Reeds. We witness the miraculous hand of G‑d as the waters part to allow the Israelites to pass, then return to inundate the Egyptian legions.

Kadesh—the Benediction

The Seder service begins with the recitation of kiddush, proclaiming the holiness of the holiday. This is done over a cup of wine, the first of the four cups we will drink (while reclining) at the Seder.

The Four Cups of Wine

Why four cups? The Torah uses four expressions of freedom or deliverance in connection with our liberation from Egypt (see Exodus 6:6–7). Also, the Children of Israel had four great merits even while in exile: (1) They did not change their Hebrew names; (2) they continued to speak their own language, Hebrew; (3) they remained highly moral; (4) they remained loyal to one another.

Wine is used because it is a symbol of joy and happiness.

Why We Recline

When drinking the four cups and eating the matzah, we lean on our left side to accentuate the fact that we are free people. In ancient times only free people had the luxury of reclining while eating.

Urchatz—Purification

We wash our hands in the usual, ritually prescribed manner as is done before a meal, but without the customary blessing.

The next step in the Seder, Karpas, requires dipping food into water, which in turn mandates, according to Jewish law, that either the food be eaten with a utensil or that one’s hands be purified by washing. On the Seder eve we choose the less common observance to arouse the child’s curiosity.

Karpas—the “Appetizer”

A small piece of onion or boiled potato is dipped into saltwater and eaten (after reciting the blessing over vegetables).

Dipping the karpas in saltwater is an act of pleasure and freedom, which further arouses the child’s curiosity.

The Hebrew word karpas, when read backwards, alludes to the backbreaking labor performed by the 600,000 Jews in Egypt. [Samech has the numerical equivalent of 60 (representing 60 times 10,000), while the last three Hebrew letters spell perech, hard work.]

The saltwater represents the tears of our ancestors in Egypt.

Yachatz—Breaking the Matzah

The middle matzah on the Seder plate is broken in two. The larger part is put aside for later use as the afikoman. This unusual action not only attracts the child’s attention once again, but also recalls G‑d’s splitting of the Sea of Reeds to allow the Children of Israel to cross on dry land. The smaller part of the middle matzah is returned to the Seder plate. This broken middle matzah symbolizes humility, and will be eaten later as the “bread of poverty.”

Maggid—the Haggadah

At this point, the poor are invited to join the Seder. The Seder tray is moved aside, a second cup of wine is poured, and the child, who by now is bursting with curiosity, asks the time-honored question: “Mah nishtanah ha-lailah hazeh mikol ha-leilot? Why is this night different from all other nights?” Why only matzah? Why the dipping? Why the bitter herbs? Why are we relaxing and leaning on cushions as if we were kings?

The child’s questioning triggers one of the most significant mitzvot of Passover, which is the highlight of the Seder ceremony: the haggadah, telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The answer includes a brief review of history, a description of the suffering imposed upon the Israelites, a listing of the plagues visited on the Egyptians, and an enumeration of the miracles performed by the Almighty for the redemption of His people.

Rochtzah—Washing Before the Meal

After concluding the first part of the haggadah by drinking the second cup of wine (while reclining), the hands are washed again, this time with the customary blessings, as is usually done before eating bread.

Motzi Matzah—We Eat the Matzah

Taking hold of the three matzot (with the broken one between the two whole ones), recite the customary blessing before bread. Then, letting the bottom matzah drop back onto the plate, and holding the top whole matzah with the broken middle one, recite the special blessing “al achilat matzah.” Then break at least one ounce from each matzah and eat the two pieces together, while reclining.

Maror—the Bitter Herbs

Take at least one ounce of the bitter herbs. Dip it in the charoset, then shake the latter off and make the blessing “al achilat maror.” Eat without reclining.

Korech—the Sandwich

In keeping with the custom instituted by Hillel, the great Talmudic sage, a sandwich of matzah and maror is eaten. Break off two pieces of the bottom matzah, which together should be at least one ounce. Again, take at least one ounce of bitter herbs and dip them in the charoset. Place this between the two pieces of matzah, say “kein asah Hillel . . .” and eat the sandwich while reclining.

Shulchan Orech—the Feast

The holiday meal is now served. We begin the meal with a hard-boiled egg dipped into saltwater.

A rabbi was once asked why Jews eat eggs on Passover. “Because eggs symbolize the Jew,” the rabbi answered. “The more an egg is burned or boiled, the harder it gets.”

Note: The chicken neck is not eaten at the Seder.

Tzafun—Out of Hiding

After the meal, the half-matzah which had been “hidden,” set aside for the afikoman(“dessert”), is taken out and eaten. It symbolizes the Paschal lamb, which was eaten at the end of the meal.

Everyone should eat at least 1½ ounces of matzah, reclining, before midnight. After eating the afikoman, we do not eat or drink anything except for the two remaining cups of wine.

Berach—Blessings After the Meal

A third cup of wine is filled and Grace is recited. After the Grace we recite the blessing over wine and drink the third cup while reclining.

Now we fill the cup of Elijah and our own cups with wine. We open the door and recite the passage which is an invitation to the Prophet Elijah, the harbinger of the coming of Moshiach, our righteous Messiah.

Hallel—Songs of Praise

At this point, having recognized the Almighty and His unique guidance of the Jewish people, we go still further and sing His praises as L‑rd of the entire universe.

After reciting the Hallel, we again recite the blessing over wine and drink the fourth cup, reclining.

Nirtzah—Acceptance

Having carried out the Seder service properly, we are sure that it has been well received by the Almighty. We then say “Leshanah haba’ah bee-rushalayim—Next year in Jerusalem.”

La Rafle du Vel d’Hiv, une chanson inédite de Gilbert Bécaud chantée par Anny Cordy

24.12.2012
Je vous invite à écouter cette chanson de Gilbert Bécaud, qui, en effet, n’a jamais été diffusée et que Bécaud lui-même a sans doute passée sous silence tout au long de sa carrière.

Et pourtant il s’agit bel et bien d’un acte de bravoure, artistique, civique et politique. Du non politiquement correct dans son essence et bien avant l’heure.

Que s’est-il passé, qui a censuré? Le saura-t-on jamais?

Il nous reste l’œuvre et l’interprétation magistrale d’Annie Cordy, dans un registre totalement différent au sien.

Rafle du Vélodrome d’Hiver

La rafle du Vélodrome d’Hiver (16 juillet 1942), souvent appelée rafle du Vel’ d’Hiv1,2 ou rafle du Vel’ d’Hiv’3, est la plus grande arrestation massive de Juifs réalisée en France pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, essentiellement de Juifs étrangers ou apatrides réfugiés en France. En juillet 1942, le régime nazi organise l’opération « Vent Printanier » : une rafle à grande échelle de Juifs dans plusieurs pays européens. En France, le régime de Vichy mobilise la police française pour participer à l’opération : à Paris, 7 000 policiers et gendarmes raflent les Juifs4. Le 17 juillet, en fin de journée, le nombre des arrestations dans Paris et la banlieue était de 13 152 dont 4 115 enfants5,6. Moins de cent personnes survécurent à la déportation6. read more… foto from wikipedia

France – La rafle du Vél d’Hiv, 72 ans après

16.07.2014
C’est l’une des dates les plus sombres de l’histoire de France : il y a 72 ans, une dizaine de milliers de juifs furent arrêtés et enfermés au Vélodrome d’Hiver, en plein cœur de Paris.
Les 16 et 17 juillet 1942, sur ordre des nazis, le régime de Vichy réalise la plus grande arrestation massive de juifs opérée en France pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Plus de 13 000 personnes, dont des centaines d’enfants, sont interpellées.
Ces hommes, ces femmes et ces enfants seront parqués au Vélodrome d’Hiver, en plein cœur de Paris, à quelques mètres seulement de la Tour Eiffel, avant d’être déportés vers les camps de la mort. Une centaine d’entre eux a survécu.
Nos journalistes ont rencontré Michel Muller, l’un des derniers survivants de la rafle du Vél d’Hiv.

1942.Joseph a onze ans.Et cette matinée de juin, il doit aller à l’école, une étoile Jaune cousue sur sa poitrine…Il réceptionne les encouragements d’un riverain brocanteur. Les moqueries d’une boulangère.Entre bienveillance et mépris, Jo, ses potos juifs en tant que lui, leurs familles, apprennent l’existence au sein d’un Capitale occupé, sur la Colline Montmartre, où ils ont déniché refuge.Du moins le croient-ils, plus de cette matinée de 16 juillet 1942, ou leur fragile bien-être bascule…Du Vélodrome d’Hiver, où 13 000 raflés restent entassés, au camp de Beaune-La-Rolande, de Vichy à la terrasse du Berghof, La Rafle suit les chemins réels des victimes et des bourreaux.De les personnes qui ont orchestré.De les personnes qui ont eu confiance.De les personnes qui ont fui.De les personnes qui se restent opposés.Tous les protagonistes de l’oeuvre ont existé.Tous les évènements, également les plus extrêmes, se sont déroulés durant la période estivale 1942.

“Il y a vraiment des gens derrière qui se battent pour arriver à donner des cours intéressants, des programmes pour les enfants” Rav Avraham Kadoch

“Vous savez que grâce à 613TV, Boubach a eu accès à des enfants dans des endroits perdus dans des petits villages en France, et leur seul moyen d’apprendre le Judaïsme c’était à travers Boubach et 613TV”
Michaël Broll (créateur, président de La Paracha avec Boubach)

“J’ai bien observé les émissions de 613TV, c’est vraiment une lumière dans beaucoup d’obscurité qui règne en France et qui peuvent rapprocher bien sûr beaucoup de Juifs au Judaïsme”
Avraham Azoulay (Directeur du Plus Hebdo)

RONY AKRICH “Israel vivra, Israel vaincra et ce malgre nous!!”

21.07.2015
“Le retour du peuple juif sur sa terre est un premier niveau de Teshuva collective de la nation” (Rav Kook, “les lueurs du retour” 27,2)
Habiter en Israel, y travailler la terre, risquer sa vie dans l’armée de défense du pays, revenir à sa propre culture et se détacher des influences négatives de l’exil, peuvent être également un prélude de Teshuva. Tout n’est pas parfait, mais peut constituer un sacré commencement! Dieu n’abandonnera jamais son peuple : Son alliance est un mariage pour l’éternité. La nation sera finalement purifiée et réhabilitée et l’éternité d’Israël jamais démentie.

Tsahal – Armée de Défense d’Israël
08.07.2015
L’année dernière, Tsahal a lancé une opération pour mettre fin à l’agression du Hamas envers les civils israéliens. L’un de nos principaux défis résidait dans le choix du Hamas d’implanter son vaste réseau terroriste au coeur de la population de Gaza. L’organisation terroriste a caché des armes dans les écoles et mosquées, tiré des roquettes depuis les hôpitaux et creusé des tunnels sous des maisons.

Quand une cache d’armes ou un site de lancement de roquettes est visé, mais que des civils apparaissent soudainement dans la zone, vous vous trouvez face à un sérieux dilemme. Si vous tirez sur la cible, vous risquez de blesser les civils aux alentours. Si vous ne le faites pas, vous risquez de mettre la vie des civils israéliens en danger.

Aujourd’hui, un an après l’Opération Bordure Protectrice, nous vous mettons à l’épreuve face à ces scénarios et vous laissons prendre la décision. Qu’allez-vous choisir : de continuer ou d’annuler la mission ?

http://www.marioncombes.fr
L’Ensemble Aventura, c’est la rencontre entre quatre artistes : Marion Combes, comédienne et chanteuse, Elina Jeudi, flûtiste et violoniste, Jodel Grasset, luthiste et Azzeddine Ezouine, percussionniste. Le concert « Pax, Shalom, Salam » est composé de chants traditionnels en français, en hébreu, en ladino et en arabe. Les musiciens revisitent un patrimoine musical allant du 11è au 15è siècle. Chants de pèlerinage, Noël occitan, traditionnels judéo-espagnols et marocains, chants hébraïques, chansons d’amour, le spectateur est appelé à partir sur les chemins d’Occident pour faire route jusqu’en Orient avec les musiciens voyageurs. Car les musiciens par leur goût de la rencontre et de l’échange ont toujours été vecteurs de dialogue et de paix. C’était vrai au moyen-âge, c’est encore vrai aujourd’hui. Le concert est d’ailleurs émaillé de textes sur le thème de la paix.

TIDE TV – Jüdisches Leben in Hamburg – “Hamburg immer anders”

Vor dem 2. Weltkrieg war das Grindelviertel das jüdische Zentrum Hamburgs. Zahlreiche Synagogen und unzählige jüdische Läden hatten hier ihr Zuhause. Heute ist es hauptsächlich als Univiertel bekannt, doch langsam zieht es immer mehr jüdische Einrichtungen zurück ins ehemalige jüdische Zentrum. Michael Lohse ist Maschgiach im Deli King, dem einzigen koscheren Lokal in Hamburg, das zu einem wichtigen jüdischen Treffpunkt geworden ist. Historikerin Anna Menny erzählt uns, wie es im Grindelviertel früher aussah und Landesrabbiner Schlomo Bistritzky erklärt, weshalb es heute schwierig für viele Juden ist, im Grindelviertel zu lebe

Mit professioneller Unterstützung haben sie den Film gemeinsam entwickelt: gegenseitig befragen sie sich zu ihren Erfahrungen in der neuen Heimat und schildern dabei eindringlich, was es für Kinder und ihre Familien bedeutet, Vertrautes zu verlassen und in der Fremde Fuß zu fassen. Darüber hinaus thematisiert der Film den individuellen Zugang zum Jüdischsein und Erwartungen und Hoffnungen für die jüdischen Gemeinden und ein neues jüdisches Leben in Sachsen-Anhalt. Der Film ist eine Produktion des Bildungsnetzwerkes Magdeburg im Rahmen des Projektes “Jung und jüdisch in Sachsen-Anhalt”.

Israel und die Araber – Der ewige Traum vom Frieden (1/3)

23.09.2012
Clintons letzter Friedensversuch (1999 – 2000)

Die dreiteilige Dokumentationsreihe nimmt den Nahostkonflikt von den Friedensverhandlungen 1999 bis zu den Rückzugsplänen israelischer Truppen aus dem Gazastreifen in den Blick. In der ersten Folge erzählen der damalige US-Präsident Bill Clinton, der ehemalige israelische Ministerpräsident Ehud Barak, der inzwischen verstorbene PLO-Chef Yasser Arafat und der damalige Oppositionsführer Ariel Scharon, der nun seit Jahren bereits im Koma liegt, sowie ihre Generäle, Minister und Berater, was im Sommer 2000 in Camp David hinter verschlossenen Türen geschah.

Der erste Teil von “Israel und die Araber – Der ewige Traum vom Frieden” schildert, wie Israels Ministerpräsident Ehud Barak den US-Präsidenten Bill Clinton überzeugen konnte, die letzten 18 Monate seiner Amtszeit den Friedensverhandlungen mit Yasser Arafat zu widmen. Streitpunkte waren die Rückkehr der palästinensischen Flüchtlinge, die Aufgabe von Gebieten, die Israel im Sechs-Tage-Krieg 1967 erobert hatte, und die Aufteilung Jerusalems. Baraks Angebot an Arafat, sich Jerusalem als Hauptstadt beider Staaten zu teilen, zerschlug sich unter anderem an der Streitfrage bezüglich der Hoheit über den heiligen muslimischen Tempelberg Haram al-Sharif. Durch dieses Zugeständnis verlor Ehud Barak in großen Teilen das Vertrauen und den Rückhalt in der israelischen Bevölkerung. Endgültig scheiterten die Friedensverhandlungen mit Ariel Scharons Besuch des Tempelbergs im September 2000. Der Machtwechsel, der sich 2001 mit der vorgezogenen Wahl Scharons zum neuen Regierungschef vollzog, deutete sich hier bereits an.

Mit dem Beschluss des einseitigen Rückzugs israelischer Truppen aus dem Gaza-Streifen im Februar 2004 lenkte der israelische Regierungschef Ariel Scharon die Aufmerksamkeit der Welt wieder einmal auf den nicht enden wollenden Nahostkonflikt. In einem exklusiven Interview verrät General Scharon, der inzwischen seit einem schweren Schlaganfall seit Jahren im Koma liegt, was er sich dabei dachte – und beschreibt seinen Kampf auf Leben und Tod mit dem inzwischen verstorbenen legendären PLO-Chef Yasser Arafat.

Regie: Mark Anderson, Dan Edge

Israel und die Araber – Der ewige Traum vom Frieden (2/3)

23.09.2012
Arafat im Hausarrest

Die zweite Folge der Dokumentationsreihe beschreibt die Situation zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern in den Jahren 2001 und 2002, als US-Außenminister Colin Powell mit seinen Friedensbemühungen scheiterte.

US-Außenminister General Colin Powell versucht, einen Frieden zwischen Israel und den Palästinensern zu vermitteln, doch seine eigenen kompromisslosen Kollegen sowie Yasser Arafat selbst verhindern einen Erfolg seiner Bemühungen. In der zweiten Folge der dreiteiligen Dokumentationsreihe “Israel und die Araber – Der ewige Traum vom Frieden” sprechen Staats- und Ministerpräsidenten, ihre Generäle und Minister sowie Terroristen, die hinter zahlreichen Selbstmordanschlägen und Auftragsmorden stecken, darüber, was hinter geschlossenen Türen geschah, als die Gewalt der Intifada erneut ausbrach.

Israel und die Araber – Der ewige Traum vom Frieden (3/3)

23.09.2012
Scharons großes Projekt

Die letzte Folge der Dokumentationsreihe beschreibt die Situation zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern in den Jahren zwischen 2002 und 2005, als Ministerpräsident Ariel Sharon mit dem einseitigen Rückzug der Israelis aus dem Gaza-Streifen die Aufmerksamkeit der Weltöffentlichkeit wieder auf den Nahostkonflikt lenkte.

US-Präsident Bush war entschlossen, sich aus dem Nahost-Friedensprozess herauszuhalten. Doch sein Krieg im Irak zwang ihn, sich um arabische Verbündete zu bemühen. Er musste Israels Ministerpräsidenten Ariel Scharon wieder in Richtung Frieden bewegen – doch Scharon änderte die Spielregeln. In der letzten Folge der Dokumentationsreihe “Israel und die Araber – Der ewige Traum vom Frieden” sprechen Staats- und Ministerpräsidenten, ihre Generäle und Minister sowie Menschen, die hinter zahlreichen Selbstmordanschlägen und Auftragsmorden stecken, darüber, was hinter geschlossenen Türen geschah, als sie versuchten, nach zwei Jahren Intifada den Friedensprozess wieder in Gang zu bringen.

Vom Wiener Lehrling zum Friedensnobelpreisträger

11.04.2012
(c) Andreas H. Landl für friedensnews.at:

AK Präsident Herbert Tumpel erwies Wiens Friedensnobelpreisträger die Ehre. Tumpels Vater war Esperantist und ein Mann er Lettern, sprich gelernter Drucker wie der Friedensnobelpreisträger. Tumpel ist ein Anliegen, dass die von den Nazis verbrannten Bücher der Pazifisten in Österreich wieder zugänglich gemacht werden. Denn was nicht gedruckt vorliegt ist nicht zugänglich und kann tot geschwiegen werden. Ab jetzt wir “zurückgedruckt”, denn:

Im Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten schaffte ein Bursche aus elendigen Verhältnissen eine Karriere mit Lehre. Er wurde der einzige Wiener Friedensnobelpreisträger. Bis 2006 war das in Wien kaum jemandem bekannt. Denn der war Freidenker aus einer jüdischen Familie, Pazifist, Gewerkschafter, Friedensjournalist, Internationalist und Freimauerer. Soviel Friedensengagement war natürlich für die Militaristen im deutschsprachigen Raum ab 1914 zuviel des Guten. Fried und seine Werke wurden bekämpft. Er musste zweimal fliehen. Einmal aus Österreich und einmal aus Bayern. Rechtsextreme aller Couleur säuberten die Bibliotheken in vier Wellen von seinen Werken. So kam es, dass selbst Friedensbeweger wie ich oder Herbert Tumpel der Präsident der Arbeiterkammer bis 2006 nichts über den Wiener Friedensnobelpreisträger wussten. Walter Göhring stieß bei der Recherche über Ferdinand Hanusch auf den Wiener Friedensnobelpreisträger und macht erstmals 2006 breiter publik, was fast vollkommen verdrängt war.

Am 11.04.2012 18:00 Uhr gab es eine hochkarätige Veranstaltung des

Instituts für Gewerkschafts- und AK Geschichte und derAlfred Hermann Fried Gesellschaft Löcker Verlag in der AK Bibiliothek in Wien.

“Zwei Mal in der Geschichte ging der begehrte Friedensnobelpreis auch an ÖsterreicherInnen:
1905 an Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914) und 1911 an
Alfred Hermann Fried (1864-1921).

Die Leistungen des Friedensnobelpreisträgers Alfred Hermann Fried standen lange Zeit im Schatten Bertha von Suttners. Vielfach unbekannt ist, dass Fried
* als Buchhandelslehrling eine Jugendgewerkschaft gründete, die in die Gewerkschaft der Kaufmännischen Angestellten mündete, eine der Vorläufer organisationen der heutigen GPA-djp.
* Ab 1892 gab er gemeinsam mit Bertha von Suttner die pazifistische Zeitschrift „Die Waffen nieder!” heraus, in der er u.a. seine pazifistischen Ideen artikulierte.

Dass Fried damit zu den Vorkämpfern der europäischen Friedensbewegung gehörte, ist heute ebenfalls vielfach vergessen: mit seiner

Zeitschrift “Die Friedenswarte”

schuf Fried ein Organ, in dem die Ideen für ein neues demokratisch geeintes Europa ihren Niederschlag fanden.

Der Zeithistoriker Walter Göhring hat sich in Archiven und Bibliotheken in der Schweiz, in den USA, den Niederlanden, Ungarn, der Slowakei und Österreich auf die Spuren Alfred Hermann Frieds begeben. Ergebnis dieser Spurensuche sind Publikationen und Beiträge sowie eine Ausstellung über Alfred Hermann Fried, der mit seinen Arbeiten bis in die Gründung der UNO und der Europäischen Union hineingewirkt hat.

Sein Werk ist heute aktueller denn je.”

Entfetzung für Wiener Friedensnobelpreisträger Alfred Hermann Fried nach 100 Jahren

27.05.2011
Wien – 1911 vor 100 Jahren erhielt der Wiener Pazifist Alfred Hermann Fried den Friedensnobelpreis. Der revolutionäre Pazifist, Friedensforscher und erste Friedensjournalist von Weltrang erhielt nun gestern nach fast 100 Jahren seine 1. Gedenktafel in Wien.

Vor Widerhofergasse 5 wo Fried 1911 wohnte versammelten sich am 25.5.2011 abends über 200 Menschen und nahmen am Festakt teil.

Klaus Maria Brandauer enthüllte die Gedenktafel während der Brunnenchor

Nach dem Novemberpogrom wird eine Kolonne Juden zur Schutzhaft ins KZ Dachau gebracht, Baden-Baden, November 1938

KZ Dachau

Das Konzentrationslager Dachau, in der Folge KZ Dachau genannt, bestand vom 22. März 1933 bis zu seiner Befreiung durch Truppen der US Army am 29. April 1945. Das NS-Regime errichtete es bereits wenige Wochen nach der Machtübernahme. Es war das erste durchgehend betriebene KZ und wurde dadurch eines der bekanntesten Konzentrationslager. Es war zwölf Jahre durchgehend in Betrieb, d. h. mehr als doppelt so lange wie die meisten späteren Konzentrationslager.

Das Gelände lag ungefähr 20 Kilometer nordwestlich von München. Zunächst diente es der Inhaftierung von politischen Gegnern des NS-Regimes. Heinrich Himmler, 1933 Reichsführer SS und Münchener Polizeipräsident, ließ es östlich der Stadt Dachau auf dem Gelände einer ehemaligen Munitionsfabrik errichten. Es diente – v. a. in seinen Anfangsjahren, als die NSDAP ihre Macht festigen wollte – zur Inhaftierung und zur Abschreckung politisch Andersdenkender.. Photos by Wikipedia

Im diesjährigen Gedenkjahr widmet sich die Ausstellung KRIEG! JUDEN ZWISCHEN DEN FRONTEN 1914–1918 im Jüdischen Museum München dem Ersten Weltkrieg aus einer jüdischen Perspektive heraus. Durch Feldpostbriefe, Tagebücher, Photographien und andere persönliche Objekte wird das historische Ereignis in individuell erlebte und beschriebene Momente zerlegt und damit greifbarer gemacht. Der Patriotismus vieler jüdischer Deutscher und deren Mitwirken am Krieg spielt dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie der zutiefst verstörende Alltag im Schützengraben und die religiöse Erfahrungsdimension jüdischer Soldaten. Auch der zunehmende Antisemitismus in Militär und Gesellschaft während der Kriegsjahre und die politische Dimension des Gedenkens nach 1918 werden in der Ausstellung durch vielfältige Dokumente und Exponate thematisiert.

“Deutschland Ende der Fünfziger Jahre: Die Wirtschaft brummt, den Menschen geht es wieder gut und die Geschehnisse, die keine zwanzig Jahre zurückliegen, geraten langsam aber sicher in Vergessenheit. Eines Tages sorgt jedoch der Journalist Thomas Gnielka (André Szymanski) im Frankfurter Gericht für Aufruhr, als er einen ehemaligen Auschwitz-Wärter anzeigen will, den ein Freund auf einem Schulhof identifiziert hat und der jetzt als Lehrer offenbar unbehelligt durchs Lebens gehen kann. Der Journalist stößt jedoch auf Ablehnung. Nur der junge Staatsanwalt Johann Radmann (Alexander Fehling) schenkt ihm Gehör und will die Vorgänge aufklären. Rückendeckung erhält er vom Generalstaatsanwalt Fritz Bauer (Gert Voss), der ihm die Leitung der Ermittlungen überträgt. Radmann stürzt sich akribisch in den Fall und vernachlässigt sein Privatleben völlig. Selbst Marlene (Friederike Becht), die er gerade erst kennenlernte, vermag nicht auf ihn einzuwirken. Aber er überwirft sich auch mit Freunden und schottet sich von seiner Umwelt ab, um das Labyrinth aus Verleugnung und Verdrängung aufzuarbeiten und die Täter zu überführen und zu bestrafen.

Die Befreiung vom Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen [Doku HD]

25.04.2015
Im Sommer 1937 wurde mit dem Bau des Konzentrationslagers Buchenwald begonnen. In dem KZ auf dem Ettersberg bei Weimar wurden 8 Jahre lang Juden, Sinti und Roma, politischer Gegner und Nonkonformisten interniert. Mit Beginn des Krieges 1939 wurden Menschen aus ganz Europa nach Buchenwald gebracht. Als das KZ am 11.April 1945 von amerikanischen Soldaten befreit wird, stoßen sie auf 48.000 Inhaftierte, darunter auch viele Kinder und Jugendliche.
Das ca. 60 Kilometer nordöstlich von Hannover gelegene KZ Bergen-Belsen wurde 1941 im Rahmen der Kriegsvorbereitungen gegen die Sowjetunion erbaut. Schon kurze Zeit nach der Errichtung wurden erste Gefangene in das KZ transportiert. Ab März 1944 fungierte das ehemals als Gefangenenlager konzipierte KZ als “Austauschlager” in welches später auch Anne Frank deportiert wurde. Als britische Soldaten am 15. April 1945 das KZ befreiten, fanden sie ein grausames Bild vor.

Serfaus – jewish life with a Summer vacation

In the Tyrol Serfaus community has several hotels on Jewish-Orthodox guests specialized. Seit vier Jahren immer im Juli und August haben sie ausschließlich für orthodoxe Juden ihre Betriebe geöffnet. For four years – always in July and August – they have only for Orthodox Jews their businesses open. Keine einfache Aufgabe, gilt es doch, auf strenge religiöse Vorschriften Rücksicht zu nehmen. No easy task, but it applies to strict religious rules to be taken. So verlangen etwa die jüdischen Speisegesetze (Kaschrut), dass Milch- und Fleischprodukte nicht miteinander vermischt werden dürfen. To ask about the Jewish dietary laws (Kaschrut) that milk and meat products can not be mixed together. Auch die Schabbat-Ruhe da ist orthodoxen Juden das Bedienen elektrischer Geräte verboten stellt das Hotelpersonal vor Herausforderungen. Also, the Shabbat rest – there’s Orthodox Jews use electrical appliances banned – the hotel staff as challenges. Bericht: Kurt Reindl, Länge: 6 Minuten Report: Kurt Reindl

Rabbi Schalom Arusch, Rabbi David Kraus und Schüler, bei einer Feier in Jerusalem, beten das Rosch Chodesch (Neumond) Gebet (Kislev 5771) – das „Hallel” (“Lobgesang”) nach der Tradition der Chassidismusbewegung Breslev – mit bekannten jüdischen Melodien gesungen.

Hebräisch mit Untertitel in deutscher Sprache

Psalm 113
Halleluja (Lobet Gott)! Lobet, Knechte des Ewigen, lobet den Namen des Ewigen!
Gepriesen sei der Name des Ewigen von nun an bis in Ewigkeit!
Von Sonnenaufgang bis zu ihrem Niedergang sei der Name des Ewigen gelobt!
Erhaben über alle Völker ist der Ewige, über dem Himmel ist Seine Herrlichkeit.
Wer ist dem Ewigen, unserem Gott, gleich, der in der Höhe thront,
doch auch das Niedrigste beachtet, im Himmel und auf Erden?
Der aus dem Staub den Armen aufrichtet, aus dem Schmutz den Bedürftigen erhebt,
um ihn neben Edlen zu setzen, neben Edlen Seines Volkes.
Er belebt das Haus der Kinderlosen, (indem Er) sie zu einer fröhlichen Mutter macht. Halleluja!

Psalm 114
Als Israel aus Ägypten zog, das Haus Jakobs aus dem fremden Volk,
da wurde Jehuda zu Seinem Heiligtum, Israel wurde Sein Reich.
Das Meer sah und floh, der Jordan wich zurück.
Die Berge hüpften wie Widder, die Hügel wie junge Schafe.
Was ist mit dir, o Meer, dass du fliehest? Mit dir, o Jordan, dass du dich zurückweichst?
Ihr Berge, dass ihr hüpft wie Widder? Ihr Hügel, wie junge Schafe?
Vor dem Herrn erbebe, du Erde, vor dem Gott Jakobs!
Der Fels in Wasserteich wandelt, Kieselstein in Wasserquelle.

Psalm 115 (12-18)
Der Ewige hat unser gedacht, Er segnet.
Segnet das Haus Israels, segnet das Haus Aarons.
Segnet Gottesfürchtige, die Kleinen samt den Großen.
Der Ewige vermehre euch, euch und eure Kinder.
Gesegnet seid ihr für Gott, den Schöpfer von Himmel und Erde.
Die Himmel sind des Ewigen Himmel, aber die Erde hat Er den Menschen gegeben.
Nicht die Toten loben Gott, und nicht die, die in die Grabesstille hinabsteigen.
Wir aber preisen Gott von jetzt bis in Ewigkeit.
Von jetzt bis in Ewigkeit. Halleluja!

Psalm 116 (12-19)
Wie soll ich dem Ewigen all die Wohltaten erwidern, die Er mir erwiesen hat?
Den Kelch der Rettung will ich erheben, und den Namen des Ewigen anrufen.
Wie soll ich dem Ewigen all die Wohltaten erwidern, die Er mir erwiesen hat?
Den Kelch der Rettung will ich erheben, und den Namen des Ewigen anrufen.
Meine Gelübde werde ich dem Ewigen vor Seinem ganzen Volk bezahlen.
Schwer ist in den Augen des Ewigen das Sterben Seiner Frommen.
Bitte Ewiger, ich bin Dein Knecht, ich bin Dein Knecht, Sohn Deiner Magd.
Ich bin Dein Knecht, Sohn Deiner Magd. Du hast meine Fesseln gelöst.
Dir will ich Dankopfer darbringen, und den Namen des Ewigen anrufen.
Meine Gelübde werde ich dem Ewigen vor Seinem ganzen Volk bezahlen,
in den Höfen des Hauses des Ewigen, inmitten Jerusalem.
Inmitten Jerusalem. Halleluja!

Psalm 117
Lobet den Ewigen, alle Völker, rühmet Ihn, alle Nationen!
Denn mächtig ist Seine Liebe über uns, und die Wahrheit des Ewigen währt ewig. Halleluja!

Mein neues Leben in Jerusalem – Eine Deutsche unter orthodoxen Juden

Porträt der ins Judentum konvertierten Deutschen Elishewa, die in Jerusalem mit ihrem Mann und sieben Kindern das abgeschottete, entbehrungsreiche und streng reglementierte Leben der ultraorthodoxen Juden führt. Elishewas Familie befolgt streng die Regeln der Thora, die durch zahllose detaillierte Gebote und Verbote den Alltag regeln. Kontakte zur säkularen Welt, Internet und Fernsehen sind unterbunden. Die Ultraorthodoxen unterhalten eigene Medien, Bücher und ihr eigenes Bildungssystem. Der soziale Umgang schreibt weitgehende Geschlechtertrennung vor. Die Jungen und Männer verbringen in der Regel die Tage in der ganztägigen Thora-Schule und arbeiten nur im notwendigen Rahmen. Mädchen hingegen bekommen eine bessere Allgemeinbildung, denn sie müssen später für den Unterhalt der Familie arbeiten. Finanzielle Unterstützung leisten Sponsoren und die Gesellschaft

Sarahs Schwestern – Jüdische Frauen in Deutschland

Nach den Festen, den Hochzeiten, der Architektur und der Kindheit, stehen 2010 die Frauen im Zentrum der Dokumentationsreihe “Religionen in Deutschland”. Ob Judentum, Buddhismus, Islam oder Katholizismus: Frauen wird von den Religionen eine ganz bestimmte Rolle zugewiesen. Inwieweit gläubige Frauen diese erfüllen bzw. sich bewusst dagegen entscheiden, will die 4-teilige Serie anhand von ausgewählten Beispielen beleuchten. Im Zentrum stehen dabei pro Film zwei sehr unterschiedliche Frauen, die ihre Religion und ihren Glauben aus ihrer ganz persönlichen Sicht erklären. Die Rabbinerin Irit Shillor ist gebürtige Israelin. Mit den Ritualen des Judentums ist sie wie selbstverständlich groß geworden, eine besondere, religiöse Erziehung hat sie jedoch nicht genossen. Als sie nach ihrem Mathematikstudium nach England zog, lernte sie die liberale Strömung des Judentums kennen und lieben. Heute pendelt sie zwischen England und Deutschland, wo sie in der kleinen Hamelner Gemeinde als Rabbinerin tätig ist. Als religiöses Vorbild will sie ihrer Gemeinde vor allem die Gleichstellung von Mann und Frau nahe bringen. Joelle Spinner ist orthodoxe Jüdin und nimmt die religiösen Vorschriften sehr ernst. Die aus der Schweiz stammende Frau ist wie selbstverständlich mit der Orthodoxie aufgewachsen.Die promovierte Kunsthistorikerin ist verheiratet mit dem Vorsitzenden der Lauderfoundation und hat mit ihren drei Töchtern und dem Haushalt, der jede Woche am Shabbat seine Türen für Gäste aus aller Welt öffnet viel zu tun. Ihr Mann und sie kamen 2000 nach Berlin, sie waren die ersten, sichtbaren Juden am Prenzlauer Berg. Joelle Spinner zeigt, wie es gelingen kann als moderne, weltoffene Frau das orthodoxe Judentum ganz selbstverständlich hier in Deutschland zu leben.

Arte Doku: Nicht ganz koscher

613 religiöse Gebote und Verbote regeln den Alltag gläubiger Juden. Aber wie orientiert man sich an dieser verwirrend hohen Anzahl von Vorschriften und ihren vielen Ausnahmen? Wie lebt man also “koscher”? Dabei bedeutet “koscher” aus dem Hebräischen übersetzt in etwa “als richtig geprüft” oder “bestätigt”. Der jüdische Mensch unterzieht sich permanent dieser “Qualitätsprüfung”. Filmemacherin Ruth Olshan hat selbst jüdische Wurzeln, wuchs aber nicht mit der jüdischen Kultur auf. So hat sie sich auf die Suche nach ihrer eigenen jüdischen Identität gemacht und geht gleichzeitig humorvoll der Frage nach, was koscheres Leben eigentlich ist.

Dabei taucht Ruth Olshan tief ein in den facettenreichen jüdischen Alltag. Liberale und orthodoxe jüdische Familien und Rabbiner weihen sie in die Geheimnisse der koscheren Küche ein, erklären den Außenstehenden kurios erscheinenden Umgang mit Hygiene, Bekleidung und anderen Dingen des Alltags. Auch die Sexualität sparen sie dabei nicht aus. Die Filmemacherin erfährt und erlebt Überraschendes, Erstaunliches, Erheiterndes und vieles, was sie nachdenklich stimmt.

Juden in Frankreich nach den Anschlägen: Gehen oder bleiben? – reporter

Achim Doerfer, Jüdische Gemeinde Göttingen: “Mehr Juden werden Europa jetzt verlassen”

14.01.2015
Achim Doerfer, Vorstandsmitglied der Jüdischen Gemeinde Göttingen, ist sich sicher: „Die Zahlen der Juden, die Frankreich verlassen, werden zunehmen.“
Der Rechtsanwalt und Buchautor Doerfer hat selbst ein Jahr in Paris gelebt und kennt die Sicherheitslage gut. Was hat sich nach den Anschlägen auf die Redaktion von “Charlie Hebdo” und einen jüdischen Supermarkt verändert? Er erwartet, dass sich das Klima massiv verschlechtern wird. Seiner Meinung nach müssen, ähnlich wie in Deutschland, jüdische Einrichtungen künftig auch in Frankreich massiv bewacht werden.
Im Skype-Talk mit Hendrik Holdmann spricht Doerfer über Antisemitismus in Europa, die Pegida-Bewegung und seine Ehe mit einer gläubigen Muslimin.

Deutsche Muslime und Antisemitismus: Woher kommt die Judenfeindlichkeit?

15.02.2015
Einige Muslime vertreten antisemitische Thesen. Abdul-Ahmad Rashid spricht mit dem Berliner Rabbiner Daniel Alter und dem Psychologen Ahmad Mansour, der sich gegen Judenfeindlichkeit stark macht. (14.06.2013)

Immer wieder gibt es Angriffe auf Juden in Deutschland. Mutmaßliche Täter sind häufig muslimische Jugendliche. Zuletzt war das Anfang Juni im hessischen Offenbach so: Nach dem Angriff auf einen Rabbiner hat ein 14-Jähriger die Tat gestanden. Wie kommt es zu diesem Judenhass unter Muslimen? “Forum am Freitag”-Moderator Abdul-Ahmad Rashid spricht darüber mit Rabbiner Daniel Alter aus Berlin, der selbst Opfer eines Anschlages geworden ist, und dem Psychologen Ahmad Mansour, der mit Jugendlichen gegen Antisemitismus vorgeht.

Wenn Rabbiner Daniel Alter auf die Straßen Berlins geht, trägt er meistens zwei Mützen: die Kippa und darüber eine weitere – aus Gründen des Selbstschutzes: “Antisemitismus bekommt in der jüngeren Vergangenheit eine neue, offenere und aggressivere Qualität”, sagt der Rabbiner. Berlin ist die Stadt Deutschlands mit der größten jüdischen Gemeinde: Rund 10.000 Juden leben in der Hauptstadt. Immer mehr von ihnen wollen aber unerkannt bleiben. “Viele Mitglieder unserer Gemeinde versuchen es zu vermeiden, sich öffentlich als jüdisch zu identifizieren”, sagt Alter. Was passieren kann, wenn man als Jude ausgemacht wird, hat Alter am eigenen Leib erfahren: Vor den Augen seiner kleinen Tochter wurde er von Jugendlichen verprügelt. Einfach nur, weil er Jude ist.

Alltäglicher Antisemitismus

Viel häufiger begegnet einem der Antisemitismus unter muslimischen Migranten aber im Alltag, auf Schulhöfen, in Schulklassen, Moscheen, auf Facebook: “Jude” sei unter muslimischen Jugendlichen ein Schimpfwort geworden, schreibt Ahmad Mansour in einem Bericht für die Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (BpB). Mansour, der mit Jugendlichen im Projekt “Heroes” arbeitet und dort judenfeindliches Gedankengut bekämpft, hört aber auch regelrechte Verschwörungstheorien: Es geht dort um die “Herrschaft der Juden” oder ihre aktive Rollen bei der Finanzkrise oder bei den Anschlägen am elften September.

Bei muslimischen Jugendlichen tritt antisemitisches Gedankengut dabei nicht nur vereinzelt auf. Die BpB spricht von einer “problematischen Größe“. Präzise Zahlen gibt es in Deutschland nicht, aber einige Studien, die Aufschluss geben. In einer Studie aus dem Jahr 2010 wurde die Zustimmung zur Aussage “Juden haben in der Welt zu viel Einfluss” abgefragt. 35,8 Prozent der arabischen und 20,9 Prozent der türkischstämmigen Jugendlichen stimmten ihr zu. Bei Jugendlichen ohne Migrationshintergrund lag der Wert bei lediglich 2,1 Prozent.

Maßnahmen gegen die Judenfeindlichkeit

Muslime, die solchen Thesen zustimmen, haben meist eins gemeinsam: Sie haben noch nie in ihrem Leben einen Juden persönlich getroffen oder mit ihm gesprochen. Sie assoziieren beim Wort “Jude” israelische Soldaten oder radikale Siedler. “Dass aber in Deutschland und anderswo Juden leben, die mit Israel kaum oder wenig zu tun haben, ist ihnen unbekannt.”, schreibt Ahmad Mansou für die BpB. Wenn Jugendliche etwa im Schulunterricht Holocaustüberlebenden begegnen oder einem Rabbiner, dann relativieren sich ihre antisemitischen Thesen. Mansour, der selbst palästinensische Wurzeln hat, hält es in Klassen mit einem hohen Anteil muslimischer Jugendlicher für sinnvoll, die Frage des Antisemitismus, des Holocaust und des Nahost-Konfliktes miteinander verknüpft zu behandeln. Leider fehlten dafür zurzeit noch die Unterrichtskonzepte, bedauert er im “Forum am Freitag”-Gespräch.

Anne Frank

from Wikipedia

Annelies Marie „Anne“ Frank (geboren 12. Juni 1929 in Frankfurt am Main als Anneliese^[1] Marie Frank; gestorben Anfang März 1945im KZ Bergen-Belsen) war ein jüdisches deutsches Mädchen, das 1934 mit seinen Eltern in die Niederlande auswanderte, um der Verfolgung durch die Nationalsozialisten zu entgehen, und kurz vor dem Kriegsende dem nationalsozialistischen Holocaust zum Opfer fiel. Zuvor hatte sie sich mit ihrer Familie in einem Hinterhaus in Amsterdam versteckt gehalten, wo sie ihre Erlebnisse und Gedanken in einem Tagebuch niederschrieb.

Das nach dem Krieg von ihrem Vater Otto Frank veröffentlichte Tagebuch der Anne Frank gilt als ein historisches Dokument aus der Zeit des Holocaust und die Autorin als Symbolfigur für alle Opfer der Vernichtungspolitik der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus.

Am Sonntag ist es also 65 Jahre her. Der 19. Juli 1950. In Frankfurt am Main kommen Vertreter jüdischer Gemeinden aus allen vier deutschen Besatzungszonen zusammen und gründen den Zentralrat der Juden in Deutschland. Anders als seine Vorläufer der Vorkriegszeit nennt sich die neue Dachorganisation Zentralrat “der Juden in Deutschland” und nicht Zentralrat “der deutschen Juden”. Ein kleiner, aber vielsagender Unterschied. Damals, im Sommer 1950, leben noch etwa 15 000 Juden in Deutschland.

This Day in Jewish History / Human chameleon Peter Sellers dies: ‘There is no me … I had it …

Haaretz

This day in Jewish history / ‘Dr. Strangelove’ premieres. By David B. Green | Jan. 29, 2013 | 8:57 AM. On July 24, 1980, the comic actor Peter Sellers …

Peter Sellers

Peter Sellers, CBE (born Richard Henry Sellers; 8 September 1925 – 24 July 1980) was a British film actor, comedian and singer. He performed in the BBC Radio comedy series The Goon Show, featured on a number of hit comic songs and became known to a world-wide audience through his many film characterisations, among them Chief Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther series of films.

Sellers was born on 8 September 1925, in Southsea, a suburb of Portsmouth. His parents were Yorkshire-born William “Bill” Sellers (1900–62) and Agnes Doreen “Peg” (née Marks, 1892–1967). Both were variety entertainers; Peg was in the Ray Sisters troupe.[3] Although christened Richard Henry, his parents called him Peter, after his elder stillborn brother.[4] Sellers remained an only child.[5] Peg Sellers was related to the pugilist Daniel Mendoza (1764–1836), whom Sellers greatly revered, and whose engraving later hung in his office. At one time Sellers planned to use Mendoza’s image for his production company’s logo.

King David Hotel bombing
From Wikipedia,
The King David Hotel bombing was an terrorist attack carried out on Monday July 22, 1946 by the militant Zionist underground organization, the Irgun, on the British administrative headquarters for Palestine, which was housed in the southern wing[1] of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.[2][3][4] 91 people of various nationalities were killed and 46 were injured.[5]

The hotel was the site of the central offices of the British Mandatory authorities of Palestine, principally the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and the Headquarters of the British Armed Forces in Palestine and Transjordan.[5][6] The attack initially had the approval of the Haganah (the principal Jewish paramilitary group in Palestine). It was conceived as a response to Operation Agatha (a series of widespread raids, including one on the Jewish Agency, conducted by the British authorities) and was the deadliest directed at the British during the Mandate era (1920–1948)

Palestine 1946: King David Hotel Bomb Warning Controversy

The King David Hotel bombing (July 22, 1946) was a bomb attack against the British Mandate government of Palestine and its armed forces by members of the Irgun, a militant Zionist organization, which was led at the time by Menachem Begin, a future Prime Minister of Israel.

Members of the Irgun, commanded by Yosef Avni and Yisrael Levi [1] and dressed as ‘Arabs’ and as the Hotel’s distinctive Sudanese waiters, planted a bomb in the basement of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, part of which was being used as the base for the Mandate Secretariat, the British military headquarters and a branch of the police Criminal Investigation Division. The ensuing explosion caused the collapse of the south-western corner of the southern wing of the hotel. 91 people were killed, most of them staff of the secretariat and the hotel: 28 British, 41 Arab, 17 Jewish, and 5 others. Around 45 people were injured. Some of the deaths and injuries occurred in the road outside the hotel and in adjacent buildings.

The attack on the hotel was the deadliest attack against the British in the history of the Mandate and is often credited as being a major factor in the British decision to relinquish the Mandate. If classed as terrorism, the attack was the most cowardly & deadliest of that kind anywhere in the world.

Prime Minister Clement Attlee commented on the attack to the House of Commons:
Hon. Members will have learned with horror of the brutal and murderous crime committed yesterday in Jerusalem. Of all the outrages which have occurred in Palestine against the Arabs, and they have been many and horrible in the last few months, this is the worst. By this insane act of terrorism 93 innocent people have been killed or are missing in the ruins. The latest figures of casualties are 41 dead, 52 missing and 53 injured. I have no further information at present beyond what is contained in the following official report received from Jerusalem:

“It appears that after exploding a bomb in the street, presumably as a diversionary measure — this did virtually no damage — a lorry drove up to the tradesmen’s entrance of the King David Hotel and the occupants, after holding up the staff at pistol point, entered the kitchen premises carrying a number of milk cans. At some stage of the proceedings, they shot and seriously wounded a British soldier who attempted to interfere with them. All available information so far is to the effect that they were Jews. Somewhere in the basement of the hotel they planted bombs which went off shortly afterwards. They appear to have made good their escape.”

The Zionist Irgun issued an initial statement accepting responsibility for the attack, blaming the British for the deaths due to failure to respond to the warning and mourning only the Jewish victims. A year later, on July 22, 1947, they issued a new statement saying that they were acting on instructions from “a letter from the headquarters of the United Resistance, demanding that we carry out an attack on the British at the King David Hotel as soon as possible.”

In July 2006, Israelis including former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former members of Irgun attended a 60th anniversary celebration of the bombing, which was organized by the Menachem Begin Centre. The British Ambassador in Tel Aviv and the Consul-General in Jerusalem dissented, saying “We do not think that it is right for an act of terrorism, which led to the loss of so many lives, to be commemorated.” They also protested against an Israeli plaque that claims that people died because the British ignored warning calls, saying it was untrue and “did not absolve those who planted the bomb.” The plaque read “For reasons known only to the British, the hotel was not evacuated.” City officials agreed to amend the wording on the plaque?

Seventeenth of Tammuz

English: The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70, Oil on canvas

Deutsch: Belagerung und Zerstörung von Jerusalem durch die Römer unter Titus, 70 n. Chr., Öl auf Leinwand

The Seventeenth of Tammuz (Hebrew: שבעה עשר בתמוז‎, Shiv’ah Asar b’Tammuz) is a Jewish fast day commemorating the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the Second Temple.[1] It falls on the 17th day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz and marks the beginning of the three-week mourning period leading up to Tisha B’Av.[2]

This day also commemorates the destruction of the Twin Tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Seventeenth of Tammuz occurs forty days after the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Moses ascended Mount Sinai on Shavuot and remained there for forty days. The Children of Israel made the Golden Calf on the afternoon of the sixteenth of Tammuz when it seemed that Moses was not coming down when promised. Moses descended the next day (forty days by his count), saw that the Israelites were violating many of the laws he had received from God, and smashed the tablets.[3]Photo by Wikipedia

Abraham “Abe” Cahan (July 7, 1860 – August 31, 1951) was a Belarusian-born Jewish-American socialist newspaper editor, novelist, and politician.[1],,,

Abraham Cahan was born July 7, 1860, in Podberezhie in Belarus (at the time in Vilnius Governorate, Russian Empire), into an orthodox Litvak family. His grandfather was a rabbi in Vidz, Vitebsk, his father a teacher of Hebrew language and the Talmud. The devoutly religious family moved in 1866 to Vilnius, where the young Cahan received the usual Jewish preparatory education for the rabbinate. He, however, was attracted by secular knowledge and clandestinely studied the Russian language, ultimately prevailing on his parents to allow him to enter the Teachers Institute of Vilnius, from which he was graduated in 1881. He was appointed teacher in a Jewish government school in Velizh, Vitebsk, in the same year.[2] Photo by Wikipedia

Abe Cahan Exhibit

We had the opportunity to check out the Forward’s exhibit of its founder Abe Cahan. It is an amazing exhibit showcasing the beginning of The Forward. During his years of activity, Cahan was either originator, collaborator, or editor of almost all the earlier socialist periodicals published in that language in the United States.Abraham Cahan in his later years. From 1903 until 1946, Cahan ran the Jewish Daily Forward (Forverts), a socialist Yiddish-language daily in New York. In 1906 he introduced an advice column named A Bintel Brief. As a rule, Cahan was one of the more temperate voices in the Socialist Party of America, respecting his readers’ religious beliefs and preaching an increasingly moderate version of the socialist gospel as time progressed. By 1924 Forverts had over a quarter of a million readers, making it the most successful non-English-language newspaper in the U.S. and the leading Yiddish paper in the world. Cahan quickly mastered the English language, and four years after his arrival in New York taught immigrants in one of the evening schools. Later he began to contribute articles to the Sun and other newspapers printed in English, and was for several years employed in a literary capacity by the Commercial Advertiser, where we was a regular contributor.

From Wikipedia,
The Grateful Dead are an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California.[1][2] Ranging from quintet to septet, the band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of country, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, rock, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, space rock,[3][4] for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams,[5][6] and for their devoted fan base, known as “Deadheads”. “Their music,” writes Lenny Kaye, “touches on ground that most other groups don’t even know exists.”[7] These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead “the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world”.[8] They were ranked 57th in the issue The Greatest Artists of all Time by Rolling Stone magazine.[9] Photo by Wikipedia

Law of Return

The Law of Return (Hebrew: חֹוק הַשְׁבוּת, ḥok ha-shvūt) is Israeli legislation, passed on 5 July 1950, that gives Jews the right of return and the right to live in Israel and to gain citizenship.[1] In 1970, the right of entry and settlement was extended to people of Jewish ancestry, and their spouses.

The Law of Return 5710-1950 was enacted by the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament, on July 5, 1950.[2] The Law declares the right of Jews to come to Israel: “Every Jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh.” Follow-up legislation on immigration matters was contained in the Nationality Law of 1952. The Law of Return was modified in 1970 to extend the right of return to non-Jews with a Jewish grandparent, and their spouses.

Youth Aliyah (Hebrew: עלית הנוער, Aliyat Hano’ar) is a Jewish organization that rescued thousands of Jewish children from the Nazis during the Third Reich. Youth Aliyah arranged for their resettlement in Palestine in kibbutzim and youth villages that became both home and school.

Recha Freier, a rabbi’s wife, founded Youth Aliyah in Berlin on the same day that Adolf Hitler took power, Monday 30 January 1933. The organisation was founded to protect German Jewish youth from the impending Holocaust by sending them to pioneer training programs in Palestine after completing elementary school. The idea was supported by the World Zionist Organization. Freier supervised the organization’s activities in Germany, and Henrietta Szold in Jerusalem.

Szold was skeptical about the merits of Freier’s proposal because, as the person responsible for social services by the Jewish Agency for all of Palestine, she was extremely pressed for funds and loath to take on a new untried program for German Jewish children.

Moshé Pinchas Feldenkrais (Hebrew: משה פנחס פלדנקרייז, May 6, 1904 – July 1, 1984) was an Israeli physicist and the founder of the Feldenkrais Method, designed to improve human functioning by increasing self-awareness through movement.

Feldenkrais was born in the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine) city of Slavuta. In 1918, he left his family, then living in Baranovichi, Belarus, to emigrate to Palestine.[1] There he worked as a laborer before obtaining his high-school diploma in 1925. After graduation, he worked as a cartographer for the British survey office. During his time in Palestine he began his studies of self-defense, including Ju-Jitsu. A soccer injury in 1929 would later figure into the development of his method.[2] Photo by Wikipedia

Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn

Yosef Yitzchak (Joseph Isaac)[1] Schneersohn (Hebrew: יוסף יצחק שניאורסאהן‎) was an Orthodox rabbi and the sixth Rebbe (spiritual leader) of the Chabad Lubavitch chasidic movement. He is also known as the Frierdiker Rebbe (Yiddish for “Previous Rebbe”), the Rebbe RaYYaTz, or the Rebbe Rayatz (an acronym for Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak). After many years of fighting to keep Orthodox Judaism alive from within the Soviet Union, he was forced to leave; he continued to conduct the struggle from Latvia, and then Poland, and eventually the United States, where he spent the last ten years of his life.
Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn was born in Lyubavichi, Mogilev Governorate, Russian Empire (present-day Smolensk Oblast, Russia), the only son of Rabbi Sholom Dovber Schneersohn (the Rebbe Rashab), the fifth Rebbe of Chabad. He was appointed as his father’s personal secretary at the age of fifteen; in that year, he represented his father in the conference of communal leaders in Kovno. The following year (1896) he participated in the Vilna Conference, where Rabbis and community leaders discussed issues such as: genuine Jewish education; permission for Jewish children not to attend public school on Shabbat; the creation of a united Jewish organization for the purpose of strengthening Judaism. He participated in this conference again in 1908. Preceded by Sholom Dovber Schneersohn

Abraham Klausner

Photo by Wikipedia Klausner photographed in 1945

Abraham Judah Klausner (April 27, 1915 – June 28, 2007) was a Reform rabbi and United States Army captain and chaplain who became a “father figure” for the more than 30,000 emaciated survivors found at Dachau Concentration Camp, 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Munich, shortly after it was liberated on April 29, 1945. He also cared for thousands more left homeless in camps as the victorious Allied Forces determined where they should go.

Following ordination, Klausner joined the army and served as a chaplain at the Lawson General Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. Klausner eventually shipped out to Germany and was assigned to join the 116th Evacuation Hospital, which had just entered Dachau. The 116th Evacuation Hospital arrived at Dachau, which was 10 miles northwest of Munich, in May 1945, three weeks after the camp had been liberated on April 29, 1945. While Rabbi Eli Bohnen was the first Jewish chaplain in the United States Army to arrive at the Dachau concentration camp after its liberation, Bohnen’s unit remained only a short time. Rabbi Klausner arrived soon after.

Grade was raised Orthodox-leaning, and he studied in yeshiva as a teenager, but ended up secular, in part from his poetic ambitions.

Jacqueline du Pré

Jacqueline Mary du Pré, OBE (26 January 1945 – 19 October 1987) was an English cellist. At a young age, she achieved enduring mainstream popularity unusual for a classical performer. Despite her short career, she is regarded as one of the more uniquely talented cellists of the second half of the twentieth century.

Du Pré is most famous for her iconic recording of Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E Minor, her interpretation of which has been described as “definitive” and “legendary”

Du Pré was born in Oxford, England, the second child of Iris Greep and Derek du Pré. Derek was born in Jersey, where his family had lived for generations. After working as an accountant at Lloyds Bank in St Helier and London, he became assistant editor and later editor of The Accountant. Iris was a talented concert pianist who taught at the Royal Academy of Music.^{[2]Photo by Wikipedia}

Barney Barnato

Barney Barnato (21 February 1851 – 14 June 1897), born Barnet Isaacs, was a British Randlord, one of the entrepreneurs who gained control of diamond mining, and later gold mining, in South Africa from the 1870s. He is perhaps best remembered as being a rival of Cecil Rhodes.

Barney Barnato claimed he had the same birthday as Cecil Rhodes (5 July 1853). Most biographies give his date of birth as 5 July 1852. However, his birth certificate (supported by census data) shows he was born Barnet Isaacs in Aldgate, London on 21 February 1851,[1] the son of Isaac and Leah Isaacs. He was educated by Moses Angel at the Jews’ Free School.Photo by Wikipedia

This Day in Jewish History / Air Force pioneer Al Schwimmer is born

Haaretz

What began as aircraft-maintenance company Bedek in 1953 soon became Israel Aviation Industries, today the enormous Israel Aerospace Industries,

Al Schwimmer – 1917-2011

Al (Adolph) Schwimmer, one of the founders of the Israel Air Force and the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and an Israel Prize laureate, died, Friday. He was 94.

Schwimmer, an American citizen, was born in New York in 1917. An aeronautics graduate and a licensed pilot, he served in the US Air Force during WWII, and was awarded a medal of valor.

In 1947 he volunteered to help the Haganah paramilitary group to acquire aircraft. Schwimmer formed an aviation company, purchased war surpluses and smuggled them to Israel via then-Czechoslovakia.

In 1950, however, he was convicted by US authorities of violating the UN imposed embargo for smuggling the planes. He was stripped of his rights, but not imprisoned. In 2001 he was pardoned by then President Bill Clinton.

“Ordered” by Israeli PM, David Ben-Gurion to leave the USA and start an aircraft overhauling facility in Israel, Schwimmer came to Israel and founded ‘Bedek National Aviation Institute’ – later to become the IAI.

He served as the technological advisor to the prime minister in two different governments in the 1970s, and founded the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Israel Institute of Technology.

In 2006 he was awarded the Israel Prize for his contributions to Israeli society.

Al Schwimmer

Adolph William “Al” Schwimmer (Hebrew: אל שווימר‎;‎ 10 June 1917 – 10 June 2011) was an American-born Israeli engineer and businessman. He was the founder and first CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries.

Schwimmer was born in New York in 1917 to Jewish parents who had emigrated to the United States from Eastern Europe. He never used his given birth name of Adolph, preferring the nickname “Al”.^[1]

In 1939, Schwimmer began his aerospace career at Lockheed Corporation as an engineer and also received his civilian pilot license. During World War II, he worked for TWA and assisted the U.S. Air Transport Command as a flight engineer.^{[2]Photo by Wikipedia}

It has 16,000 employees as of 2013. IAI is wholly owned by the government of Israel.

In addition to local construction of fighter aircraft, IAI also designs and builds civil aircraft (including for Gulfstream with aircraft such as the G100/G150 and G200/G250 mid-sized business jets) and performs local maintenance and reconfiguration of foreign-built military and civilian aircraft. In addition, the company works on a number of missile, avionics, and space-based systems.

Although IAI’s main focus is aviation and high-tech electronics, it also manufactures military systems for ground and naval forces. Many of these products are specially suited for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) needs, while others are also marketed to foreign militaries. Photo by Wikipedia

This Day in Jewish History / A Jew becomes leader of Russia, if not for long

Haaretz

Perhaps Yakov Sverdlov’s stint as top Bolshevik was dimmed in memory by his untimely death at age 33, under very mysterious circumstances indeed …

Snow-covered statue of Sverdlov inYekaterinburg, formerly Sverdlovsk.

Yakov Sverdlov ☭

Yakov Sverdlov, Bolshevik activist.

***

“AN IMPERIOUS CHAIRMAN

Sverdlov had to preside a great deal. He was Chairman of many bodies and at many meetings. He was an imperious Chairman. Not in the sense that he shut off discussion, or curbed the speakers, and so on. Not at all. On the contrary, he never quibbled or insisted on formalities. His imperiousness as Chairman consisted in this, that he always knew exactly what practical decision was before the body; he understood who would speak, what would be said, and why; he was quite familiar with the backstage aspects of the issue — and every big and complex issue has its own backstage; he was adept at giving the floor in time to speakers who were needed; he knew how to put the proposition to a vote in time; he knew what could be carried and he was able to carry what he wanted. These traits of his as Chairman were bound up indissolubly with all his qualities as a practical leader, with his ability to appraise people in the flesh, realistically, with his inexhaustible inventiveness in the field of organizational and personnel combinations.

During stormy sessions he was adept at permitting the assembly to become noisy and let off steam; and then at the proper moment he would intervene to restore order with a firm hand and a metallic voice.

Sverdlov was of medium height, of dark complexion, thin and gaunt; his face, lean; his features, angular. His powerful and even mighty voice might have seemed out of consonance with his physique. To an even greater degree this might be said of his character. But such an impression could be only fleeting. And then the physical image became fused with the spiritual. Nor is this all, for this gaunt figure with its calm unconquerable and inflexible will and with its powerful but not flexible voice would then stand forth as a finished image.

“Nichevo,” Valdimir Ilyich would sometimes say in a difficult situation. “Sverdlov will tell them about it in his Sverdlovian bass and the matter will be settled …”

In these words there was affectionate irony.

In the initial post-October period the Communists were, as is well-known, called “leatherites,” by our enemies, because of the way in which we dressed. I believe that Sverdlov”s example played a major role in introducing the leather “uniform” among us. At all events he invariably walked around encased in leather from head to toe, from his leather cap to his leather boots. This costume, which somehow corresponded with the character of those days, radiated far and wide from him, as the central organizational figure.

Comrades who knew Sverdlov in the underground days remember a different Sverdlov. But in my memory Sverdlov remains clothed in leather as in an armor grown black under the blows of the first years of the Civil War.

We were gathered at a session of the Political Bureau when Sverdlov, who was burning up with fever at home, took a turn for the worse. E.D. Stassova, the then Secretary of the Central Committee, came in during the session. She had come from Sverdlov”s apartment. Her face was unrecognizable.

“Jacob Mikhailovich feels poorly, very poorly,” she said. A glance at her sufficed to understand that there was no hope. We cut the session short. Vladimir Ilyich went to Sverdlov”s apartment, and I left for the Commissariat to prepare to depart immediately to the front. In about 15 minutes a phone call came from Lenin, who said in that special muted voice which meant great strain: “He is gone.” “He is gone.” “He is gone.” For a while each of us held the receiver in our hands and each could feel the silence at the other end. Then we hung up. There was nothing more to say. Jacob Mikhailovich was gone. Sverdlov was no longer among us.”

Sverdlov was born in Nizhny Novgorod as Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov to Jewish parents Mikhail Izrailevich Sverdlov and Elizaveta Solomonova.

Raul Hilberg (June 2, 1926 – August 4, 2007) was an Austrian-born American political scientist and historian.

Hilberg was born to a Polish–Romanian Jewish family in Vienna, Austria.

Hilberg was very much a loner, pursuing solitary hobbies such as geography, music and train spotting.^[4] Though his parents attended synagogue on occasion, he personally found the irrationality of religion repellent and developed an allergy to it.

Moses ben Jacob Cordovero (Hebrew: משה קורדובירו‎‎; 1522–1570), was a central figure in the historical development of Kabbalah, leader of a mystical school in 16th-century Safed, Israel. He is known by the acronym the Ramak.

After the Medieval flourishing of Kabbalah, centered on the Zohar, attempts were made to give a complete intellectual system to its theology, such as by Meir ibn Gabbai. Influenced by the earlier success of Jewish philosophy in articulating a rational study of Jewish thought, Moshe Cordovero produced the first full integration of the previous differing schools in Kabbalistic interpretation.

The history of Jews in the Middle Ages spans the timeframe of approximately 500 CE to 1750 CE. This article covers the medieval history of Jews in the Christian-dominated Western European region. See the History of the Jews in the Byzantine Empire forEastern Europe. The other two themes that comprise the history of Jews during the Middle Ages include Jewish history in MuslimArab lands, mainly Islamic Spain, and the Jewish history in North Africa.

I think it’s terrible that he died so young and was so ruined by the McCarthy witch-hunts. On the bright side, he’s still quite valued today and a few of his films are very well remembered. He’s not my favourite actor, but he certainly is one of the best.

This Day in Jewish History / A humiliated Syria hangs Israeli spy Eli Cohen

Haaretz

Cohen had penetrated the highest echelons of the Syrian command and suspected they were hunting for a mole. But he went back one more time.

Eli Cohen tried and executed as Israeli spy in 1965.

In the early 1960’s Eli Cohen became a spy for Israel. Posing as a wealthy Arabic businessman, he gained the confidence of many prominent government officials in Syria. Cohen learned many military secrets before he was caught, tortured and executed in 1965. Two years later during the Six Day War, Israel used Cohen’s information to easily defeat the overconfident Syrian army. One of his brilliant feats was to recommended that trees be planted to shade the soldiers’ outposts. The Israeli army then knew the exact location of every one of them because of the trees. To this day his body is still in Syria. His widow has been campaigning for its release and return but stated that it should not in exchange for freeing terrorists.

Eliahu (Eli) ben Shaoul Cohen (Hebrew: אֱלִיָּהוּ בֵּן שָׁאוּל כֹּהֵן, 16 December 1924 – 18 May 1965) (Arabic:ايلي كوهين) was an Israelispy. He is best known for his espionage work in 1961 – 1965 in Syria, where he developed close relationships with the political andmilitary hierarchy there and became the Chief Adviser to the Minister of Defense. Syrian counter-intelligence authorities eventually uncovered a spy conspiracy, tried and convicted Cohen under pre-war ‘martial law’ to death penalty in 1965. The intelligence he gathered is claimed to have been an important factor in Israel’s success in the Six Day War.^[1]

Eli Cohen was born in Alexandria to a devout Jewish and Zionist family in 1924. His father had moved there from Aleppo in 1914. In January 1947, he chose to enlist in theEgyptian Army as an alternative to paying the prescribed sum all young Jews were supposed to pay, but was declared ineligible on grounds of questionable loyalty. Later that year, he left university and began studying at home after facing harassment by the Muslim Brotherhood. In the years following the creation of Israel, many Jewish families left Egypt.

El cementerio judío se ubica en el distrito de Josefor de Praga y se creó en 1439. El poeta y erudito Avigdor Karo fue la primera persona enterrada en este lugar. El cementerio estuvo activo hasta 1787, cuando fue clausurado definitivamente con la tumba de Moses Beck. Debido a la falta de espacio los cuerpos se enterraban unos encima de otros llegando a más de 11 capas de enterramientos. Cientos de nombres célebres descansan en este lugar, como el sabio del Renacimiento, historiador, matemático y astrónomo David Gans (d.1613), o el erudito e historiador José Salomón Delmedigo (d.1655), y el rabino y coleccionista de manuscritos y libros impresos en hebreo David Oppenheim (m. 1736). Aunque sin duda el más conocido de todos es el gran erudito y maestro religioso Judá Loew ben Bezalel, conocido como el rabino Loew (d. 1609), que se asocia con la leyenda del Golem, un muñeco de barro creado por Loew para defender a los judíos de Praga, pero que enloqueció y no pudo cumplir su tarea.A día de hoy se pueden ver más de 12.000 lápidas y se estima que puede haber enterradas unas 100.000 personas

Kurt Waldheim, a commission of enquiry parts 1-9

These nine films are part of a much larger programme that was aired in 1988 which looks into allegations that the recently elected president of Austria Kurt Waldheim was a Nazi war criminal. Waldheim had previously been the fourth Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1972 to 1981. I do not possess any more of this programme which I ‘rediscovered’ in 2008 on a VHS cassette used some 20 years earlier.

Waldheim had unsuccessfully sought election as President of Austria in 1971, but his second attempt on 8 June 1986 proved successful. During his campaign for the presidency in 1985, the events started that marked the beginning of what became known internationally as the “Waldheim Affair”. Before the presidential elections, Alfred Worm revealed in the Austrian weekly news magazine Profil that there had been several omissions about Waldheim’s life between 1938 and 1945 in his recently-published autobiography. A short time later, the World Jewish Congress alleged that Waldheim had lied about his service as an officer in the mounted corps of the SA, and his time as an ordnance officer for Army Group E in Saloniki, Greece, from 1942 to 1943 based in files from the United Nations War Crimes Commission. Waldheim called the allegations “pure lies and malicious acts”. Nevertheless he admitted that he had known about German reprisals against partisans: “Yes, I knew. I was horrified. But what could I do? I had either to continue to serve or be executed.” He said that he had never fired a shot or even seen a partisan. His former immediate superior at the time stated that Waldheim had “remained confined to a desk”.
Part of the reason for the controversy was Austria’s refusal to address its national role in the Holocaust – which was the home not only of Adolf Hitler but also many other leading Nazis. Austria refused to pay compensation to Nazi victims and from 1970 onwards refused to investigate Austrian citizens who were senior Nazis.
Because the revelations leading to the Waldheim affair came shortly before the presidential election there has been speculation about the background of the affair.
Declassified CIA documents show that the CIA had been aware of his war time past since 1945. Some sources report information about Waldheim’s wartime past was also previously published by a right wing Austrian newspaper during the 1971 presidential election campaign – including the claim of an SS membership.

At Bergen-Belsen, where tens of thousands perished… and others began their lives

Bergen-Belsen (or Belsen) was a Nazi concentration camp in what is today Lower Saxony in northern Germany, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle. Originally established as a prisoner of war camp,^[1] in 1943, parts of it became a concentration camp. Initially this was an “exchange camp”, where Jewish hostages were held with the intention of exchanging them for German prisoners of war held overseas.^[2] The camp was later expanded to accommodate Jews from other concentration camps.

After 1945, the name was applied to the displaced persons camp established nearby, but it is most commonly associated with the concentration camp. From 1941 to 1945, almost 20,000 Soviet prisoners of war and a further 50,000 inmates died there,^[3] with up to 35,000 of them dying of typhus in the first few months of 1945, shortly before and after the liberation Photos by Wikipedia

Bergen Belsen Liberation

Bergen-Belsen was a Nazi concentration camp in Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle. Between 1943 and the war’s end, an estimated 50,000 Russian Prisoners of War and a further 50,000 inmates died there,up to 35,000 of them dying of typhus in the first few months of 1945.
The camp was liberated on April 15, 1945 by the British 11th Armoured Division.60,000 prisoners were found inside, most of them seriously ill, and another 13,000 corpses lay around the camp unburied.When the British and Canadians advanced on Bergen-Belsen in 1945, the German army negotiated a truce and exclusion zone around the camp to prevent the spread of typhus. Under the agreement, Hungarian and regular German troops guarding the camp returned to German lines when Allied troops liberated the camp on April 15, 1945.

Eva Kor speaks about Auschwitz, medical experiments, and forgiveness

At the age of 10, Eva and her twin sister Miriam were taken to Auschwitz, the concentration camp where Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele used them for medical experiments.

Nazi Experiment Survivor Eva Mozes Kor Speaks at Clarkson University

Auschwitz survivor Eva Mozes Kor delivered a powerful message of forgiveness on October 8 at Clarkson University, while speaking before a large audience of students, faculty, staff and community members.

When she was about 10 years old, Kor and her family were taken by the Nazis to the Auschwitz slave labor and extermination camp, where her parents and two older sisters were quickly sent to the gas chambers.

Kor and her sister, Miriam, were twins, so they were of chilling interest to Dr. Josef Mengele, who subjected them to a series of heinous human experiments.

Her talk, “The Journey from Auschwitz & Mengele to Forgiveness,” told the amazing story of what she endured and how she eventually came to forgive Mengele and the Nazis.

Sheila Faith Weiss, professor of history in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Clarkson, arranged for Kor to share her story.

“I received a $277,000 National Science Foundation grant to write a biography of Dr. Mengele’s mentor, the German human geneticist Baron Otmar von Verschuer, and I had been in contact with Eva Mozes Kor,” Weiss says. “Because I am teaching a seminar on the Holocaust this semester, I asked Eva whether she might be willing to give a lecture at Clarkson. Normally, she would have charged more for her talk, but generously agreed to accept significantly less so we could bring her here. Her message is especially important for our students to hear.”

Trained in German history and the history of biology, Weiss has written a book which explores the background that led to the kind of bestial human experimentation Kor was subjected to in Auschwitz. The Nazi Symbiosis, Human Genetics and Politics in the Third Reich (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010) raises compelling questions about medicine and ethics.

Forgiving Dr. Mengele

Eva Mozes Kor, who survived Josef Mengele’s cruel twin experiments in the Auschwitz concentration camp, shocks other Holocaust survivors when she decides to forgive the perpetrators as a way of self-healing.

Trauer um WLADYSLAW BARTOSZEWSKI – Ehemaliger POLNISCHER Außenminister gestorben – 25.04.2015

25.04.2015
Er kämpfte im polnischen Widerstand, wurde 1940 ins KZ Auschwitz verschleppt – und machte sich später um die Aussöhnung mit Deutschland verdient: Polens Ex-Außenminister Bartoszewski, der nun im Alter von 93 Jahren gestorben ist.

Wladyslaw Bartoszewski war ein äußerst engagierter, manchmal gar impulsiver Politiker und trotzdem ein großartiger Diplomat. Er war kein Polterer – vielmehr einer, der seine Zuhörer zum Nachdenken zwang.

Sein Motto lautete: Es lohnt sich, anständig zu sein. “Neun Mal habe ich meinen Geburtstag in verschiedenen Gefängnissen und Lagern erlebt. Aber ich bin stets optimistisch geblieben. Meine Haft hat weder Hitler noch Stalin geholfen. Und mir hat sie nicht geschadet – ich bin weiterhin derselbe geblieben.”

Widerstand gegen deutsche Besatzer

Wladyslaw Bartoszewski wurde im Februar 1922 in Warschau als Sohn einer polnischen Beamtenfamilie geboren. Eigentlich wollte er Journalist werden. Doch der Zweite Weltkrieg machte seine Zukunftspläne zunichte. Im polnischen Widerstand kämpfte er gegen die deutschen Besatzer, wurde 1940 verhaftet und ins Konzentrationslager Auschwitz verschleppt.

Trotz oder vielleicht doch eher wegen der Erfahrungen des Krieges wurde Bartoszewski zu einem hervorragenden Anwalt der Aussöhnung mit Deutschland: “Eines der wichtigsten Ereignisse in meinem Leben war der Kriegsausbruch 1939. Dann kam das Kriegsende und das Gefühl der großen Verluste und der brennenden Ungerechtigkeit, die unser Vaterland getroffen haben. Das nächste wichtige Ereignis für mich war das Jahr 1989 – die politische Wende, die etwa anderthalb Jahre dauerte. Ich meine damit den Umbruch in Europa, den Fall der Berliner Mauer und die Emanzipation Polens.”

Geduld und Gelassenheit

Zur Geschichte gehöre immer auch Geduld und die Gelassenheit, pflegte Bartoszewski zu sagen. Missstimmungen in bilateralen Beziehungen sollte man daher nicht allzu viel Gewicht einräumen. “Wenn es um die deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen geht: Was erwarten wir eigentlich noch von ihnen? 250 Millionen Mal wird die Oder-Neiße-Grenze in beide Richtungen überschritten und zwar ohne jegliche Zwischenfälle. Die Deutschen denken in sehr rationalen Kategorien. Und wir Polen sollten uns nicht das Recht nehmen, über die Gedanken der Deutschen mehr wissen zu wollen, als sie selbst.”

Bartoszewski fühlte sich in seinem politischen Leben nie einer Partei verpflichtet. Im Vordergrund stand für ihn immer das Wohl des Landes. Welcher Regierung er als Außenminister nach der Wende diente, war für den ehemaligen Solidarnosc-Mitstreiter unerheblich.

Außenpolitischer Berater noch im hohen Alter

Nach den Wahlen 2007 berief Premierminister Donald Tusk den damals 85-Jährigen zum außenpolitischen Berater. Sein Alter spielte keine Rolle. Gefragt war vielmehr sein Verhandlungsgeschick, um auf europäischer Ebene die Scherben wegzuräumen, die die abgewählte Kaczynski-Regierung hinterlassen hatte.

Nur in einem Punkt, da fiel es Bartoszewski schwer, Contenance zu bewahren: beim Thema Erika Steinbach. Seiner Mission schadete das aber nie. Wenn die Deutschen heute Polen aus einer ganz anderen Perspektive betrachten, dann ist das auch sein Verdienst.

Genau dafür erhielt Wladyslaw Bartoszewski 1986 den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels – eine Auszeichnung, die er mit dem Satz kommentierte: “Es scheint das Wichtigste zu sein, all das zu unterstützen, was die Menschen verbindet, und sich all dem zu widersetzen, was die Menschen gegen ihren Willen trennt.”

After World War II, a group of private American citizens banded together in a clandestine effort to transport Holocaust survivors to Palestine.

On July 11, 1947, in the port of Sête, France, 4,500 Jewish refugees were crammed into the hull of a decrepit steamship, later named Exodus 1947.

A British blockade intercepted Exodus 1947 in international waters off the coast of Palestine. The tense standoff culminated in a direct attack by military personnel against the unarmed civilians on the Exodus 1947. This highly publicized international incident heavily influenced the United Nations resolution authorizing the partitioning of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. Thus, the Exodus 1947 voyage acted as a catalyst in forming a new nation. The program focuses on clandestine and illegal American efforts to finance and crew the most infamous of ten American ships that attempted to bring Jewish refugees to Palestine.

EXODUS 1947 is a one hour documentary narrated by Morley Safer with a score by Ilan Rechtman. The film is a richly layered program, constructed with first person accounts to recall events that shaped world history.

Yossi Harel

Yossi Harel (Hebrew: יוסי הראל‎) (January 4, 1918 – April 26, 2008), born Yosef Hamburger, was the supervisor of the Exodus 1947 operation and a leading member of theIsraeli intelligence community.^[1]

Yossi Harel was born in Jerusalem in 1918. He was a sixth generation Jerusalemite. At the age of 15, he joined the Haganah. Later, he fought under Orde Wingate. Between 1945 and 1948, he played a leading role in the clandestine immigration enterprise in Palestine, commanding four Aliyah Bet ships: Knesset Israel, the Exodus, Atzma’ut and Kibbutz Galuyot. After the establishment of the State of Israel Harel studied mechanical engineering at M.I.T in the United States. Just before he finished his studies, Moshe Dayan, as Chief of Staff, called him back to Israel to investigate the Lavon Affair and made him head of Unit 131, an Israel Defense Forces intelligence unit.Photo by Wikipedia

This Day in Jewish History / Not profound, but adored: ‘Greatest American novelist’ dies

Haaretz

On April 16, 1968, the novelist and playwright Edna Ferber died, at her home in New York.Today Ferber may be best known for the popular films that …

Edna Ferber – Long Distance

12.12.2014
Edna Ferber (August 15, 1885 – April 16, 1968) was an American novelist, short story writer and playwright. Her novels were especially popular and included the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big (1924), Show Boat (1926; made into the celebrated 1927 musical), Cimarron (1929; made into the 1931 film which won the Academy Award for Best Picture), and Giant (1952; made into the 1956 Hollywood movie).

Ferber was born August 15, 1885, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to a Hungarian-born Jewish storekeeper and his Milwaukee, Wisconsin-born wife, Jacob Charles and Julia (Neumann) Ferber. After living in Chicago, Illinois, and Ottumwa, Iowa, at the age of 12 Ferber and her family moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, where she graduated from high school and briefly attended Lawrence University. She took newspaper jobs at the Appleton Daily Crescent and the Milwaukee Journal before publishing her first novel. She covered the 1920 Republican National Convention and 1920 Democratic National Convention for the United Press Association.

Ferber’s novels generally featured strong female protagonists, along with a rich and diverse collection of supporting characters. She usually highlighted at least one strong secondary character who faced discrimination ethnically or for other reasons; through this technique, Ferber demonstrated her belief that people are people and that the not-so-pretty persons have the best character. Several theatrical and film productions have been based on her works, including Show Boat, Giant, Ice Palace, Saratoga Trunk, Cimarron (which won an Oscar) and the 1960 remake. Three of these works – Show Boat, Saratoga Trunk and Giant – have been developed into musicals.

When composer Jerome Kern proposed turning the very serious Show Boat into a musical, Ferber was shocked, thinking it would be transformed into a typical light entertainment of the 1920s. It was not until Kern explained that he and Oscar Hammerstein II wanted to create a different type of musical that Ferber granted him the rights. Saratoga, based on Saratoga Trunk, was written at a much later date, after serious plots had become acceptable in stage musicals. In 1925, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her book So Big, which was made into a silent film starring Colleen Moore that same year. An early talkie movie remake followed, in 1932, starring Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent, with Bette Davis in a supporting role. A 1953 remake of So Big starred Jane Wyman in the Stanwyck role, and is the version most often seen today.

He formally established the academic discipline and — with Karl Marx and Max Weber — is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science and father of sociology.,,,,,

Emile Durkheim was born in Épinal in Lorraine, coming from a long line of devout French Jews; his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had been rabbis.^[8] He began his education in a rabbinical school, but at an early age, he decided not to follow in his family’s footsteps and switched schools.^[8]^[9] Durkheim led a completely secular life.

Nathan the Wise

Nathan the Wise (original German title: Nathan der Weise) is a play published by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in 1779. It is a fervent plea for religious tolerance. Its performance was forbidden by the church during Lessing’s lifetime; it was first performed in 1783 inBerlin. In 1922 it was adapted into a silent film of the same title.

Set in Jerusalem during the Third Crusade, it describes how the wise Jewish merchant Nathan, the enlightened sultan Saladin, and the (initially anonymous) Templar bridge their gaps between Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Its major themes are friendship, tolerance, relativism of God, a rejection of miracles and a need for communication.

In August of 1778, the non-Jewish writer Gotthold Ephraim Lessing wrote to his brother of a new literary project designed to further tolerance of Jews in German society. The result was Nathan the Wise, a sensation that was initially banned by the Church and heavily criticized by antisemites of the day.

The Three Weeks or Bein ha-Metzarim (Hebrew: בין המצרים, “Between the Straits”) (cf “dire straits”) is a period of mourning commemorating the destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples. The Three Weeks start on the seventeenth day of the Jewish month of Tammuz — the fast of Shiva Asar B’Tammuz — and end on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av — the fast ofTisha B’Av, which occurs exactly three weeks later. Both of these fasts commemorate events surrounding the destruction of the Jewish Temples and the subsequent exile of the Jews from the land of Israel. According to conventional chronology, the destruction of the first Temple, by Nebuchadnezzar II, occurred in 586 BCE, and the second, by the Romans, in 70 CE. Jewish chronology, however, traditionally places the first destruction at about 421 BCE. (See Missing years (Hebrew calendar) for more information.)

Talmud Daf Yomi Nedarim 15 Gemarrah Rabbi Weisblum דף יומי נדרים ט”ו הרב ויסבלום תלמוד גמרא

Talmud daf Yomi class for Tractate Nedarim, vows, by Rabbi Dr. Moshe P. Weisblum. תלמוד שיעור דף יומי למסכת נדרים על ידי הרב ד”ר משה פינחס ויסבלום
Nedarim is the plural form of the word Neder. It is a pledge to G-D to fulfill some act in the future (either once or regularly) or to refrain from a particular type of activity of the person’s choice. The concept of the neder and the surrounded Jewish law is described at the beginning of the parsha of Matot. The word “neder” is mentioned 33 times in the Pentatuach, 19 of which occur in the Book of Numbers.
Due to the strength of a neder, and the fact that one must absolutely be fulfilled if made, many pious Jews engage in the practice of saying “b’li neder” after a statement that they will do something, meaning that their statement is not a binding neder in the event they cannot fulfill their pledge due to unforeseen circumstances.
Tractate Nedarim is the third tractate in Seder Nashim. It also deals with subjects such as visiting the sick and circumcision.
This tractate has 90 pages.
מַסֶּכֶת נְדָרִים היא המסכת השלישית בסדר נשים, המסכת עוסקת בעיקר בדיני נדרים. המסכת עוסקת גם בחלויות הנדר ומתי נדר תופס ודברים התלויים בדעתו ובלשונו של אדם. כמו כן עוסקת המסכת דרך אגב בנושאי ביקור חולים וברית מילה.

Mourning During the Three Weeks

We begun the period of the Jewish calendar known as the Three Weeks. This is a period of mourning commemorating the destruction of the Temple. The period began with the Fast of 17 Tammuz which was observed on Sunday, July 8th. On the 17th of Tammuz the walls of Jerusalem were breeched which eventually led to the destruction of the two Holy Temples, first by the Babylonians and then by the Romans. This period of mourning is a good time to think about deprivation and sadness.

We have begun the period of the Jewish calendar known as the Three Weeks. This is a period of mourning commemorating the destruction of the Temple. The period began with the Fast of 17 Tammuz which was observed on Sunday, July 8th. On the 17th of Tammuz the walls of Jerusalem were breached which eventually led to the destruction of the two Holy Temples, first by the Babylonians and then by the Romans. This period of mourning is a good time to think about deprivation and sadness.

Rabbi Ephraim Z. Buchwald, Director of the National Jewish Outreach Program, explains that he is taken aback when someone wishes another person that they should “know no sorrow”. What does that mean? Only dead people know no sorrow. Sorrow is part of life. Sometimes those sad times are opportunities for good to come out of them. While we celebrate during happy and secure times, there are many others who are not happy. If we think about the recent storms that have devastated the United States this summer, we see that many were affected by the weather. No power, no clean water, homes destroyed. Let’s think of the period of the three weeks as an opportunity to collect our good feelings and try to help those that are deprived in their lives and use this time to better their condition and ours as well. While we are remorseful, its important to use this as an opportunity to think of others who have less than we have and to work to better their condition.

To learn more about the Three Weeks, please see the article below from the Jewish Treats archives.

“When Av enters, we must lessen our rejoicing,” declare the Talmudic sages in Ta’anit 26b.

In truth, however, this period of “sadness” begins on the Fast of the 17th of Tammuz (observed yesterday) and lasts exactly three weeks – until Tisha B’Av (the Ninth of Av), the day on which we mourn the destruction of both the First and Second Temples.

While all Jewish communities mark the 17th of Tammuz by mourning and fasting, in Ashkenazic communities, this mourning continues during the rest of the month of Tammuz by refraining from haircuts and shaving, listening to music, reciting a sheh’heh’cheh’yanu blessing on new garments, and celebrating weddings.

From the first day of the month of Av onward (July 20, 2012), however, almost all Jewish communities have accepted upon themselves the period of mourning referred to as “The Nine Days.” During these nine days, we customarily avoid the following activities (along with all of the above):

1) Eating meat or drinking wine (except on Shabbat).

2) Bathing or swimming for pleasure. Some people take quick showers using cool water instead of hot so as not to derive pleasure from the shower. (One may bathe on Friday in preparation for Shabbat.)

3) Doing laundry or wearing freshly laundered clothing (except for Shabbat). It is therefore customary to choose outfits for the nine days and wear them in advance of the nine days for a few minutes so that they are not “fresh.” Children’s clothing may be laundered as needed.

Tractate Sotah, which is customarily studied between Passover and Shavuos, discusses the laws concerning a woman who is suspected of infidelity by her husband.

The last folio of the Tractate discusses the onset of the Jewish people’s long exile, which is compared to the separation between husband and wife, G-d and the Jewish people.

Fortunately, the tractate also presents an opinion that this separation is the result of the husband’s intense love for his wife, giving our exile an entirely new dimension.

with Rabbi Laibl Wolf, Spiritgrow Josef Kryss Centre, Melbourne, Australia
http://www.spiritgrowjosefkrysscenter…

This is Part 1 of the Sefirotic Tree Kabbalah Series

The Tree of knowledge is more than a metaphoric passage of the Chumash. It introduces a cosmic change in the nature of human consciousness.
Our dual nature, dual body parts e.g. two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, two hands, two feet etc. are spiritually mirrored by our inner duality of ego and other. All our thoughts, words and behaviour are either self-centred (self protection, survival, emotional gratification ) or other centred (empathy, compassion, sharing). These derive from our soul flows of Nefesh Behamit (self-centredness) and Nefesh Elokit (other-centredness). Likewise it plays out in our lifelong work of distinguishing right from wrong.
This spiritual duality was occasioned through the eating of the ‘forbidden fruit’ — from the Tree of Knowledge. Prior to that the human being was in a state of true innocence. Even nakedness provided no cue for shame or embarrassment. Once the fruit was eaten, the sense of temptation entered into human existential condition. Since then the work of self-mastery has become a life-long process.

Powerful Words Of Encouragement From The Sassoon Father – Who Lost 7 Children in Fire – PLEASE SHARE – LIKE –

The remains of seven Jewish children killed when a devastating house fire ripped through their family home are being flown to Israel so they can be laid to rest.

A procession of hearses from their funeral on Sunday in Brooklyn led their coffins to New York’s JFK airport where they were boarded onto a flight bound for Jerusalem where they will be buried on Monday.

The heartbreaking leg of the journey began hours after their father Gabriel Sassoon, broke down during his eulogy.

He described how they all ‘had faces of angels’ before starting to weep in front of hundreds of mourners packed inside the Shomrei Hadas Chapel in Borough Park.

Mr Sassoon was at a religious retreat early Saturday morning when a fire broke out at his home in Brooklyn, New York – sparked by a malfunctioning hot plate that was left on to keep food warm during the Sabbath, as Jews do not light fires or turn on appliances on their day of rest.

His wife Gayle and 14-year-old daughter Tzipora were the only two in his family to survive the blaze, after jumping from the second floor.

Sons Yakob, 5, Moshe, 8, Yeshua, 10, and David, 12, and daughters Sarah, 6, Rivkah, 11, and Elian, 15, did not survive.
