Oh, th nrv! Gint lps in rpiring body dmg

Janis siegel Jtnw columiMillions who suer rom

nerve damage and even paral-

ysis may soon be able to take

a heretoore impossible giant

leap orward aer the results

o two successul el AvivUniversity studies one

using a gel inside a biode-

gradable nerve wall implant,

and the second that injected

a newly discovered protein

compound in animal sub-

jects that provided substantial

healing results.

While medical discov-

eries bring us ever closer to regenerat-

ing organs such as the liver and even the

heart muscle, the nervous system, whose

damage leaves many people with perma-

nent pain, loss o movement, and paraly-

sis, remains uncured.

Earlier this year, a team headed by

Pro. Zvi Nevo and Dr. Shimon Rochkind

rom el Aviv University created the gel-

implant therapy that regenerated periph-

eral nerves.

Although the doctors say that the pro-

cedure is still a ew years away rom use in

a clinical setting, the gel, called Guiding

Regeneration Gel, promotes nerve growth

and was also ound to potentially restore

unction to a damaged or torn nerve, with

or without the use o the bio-

degradable implant.

Te gel by itsel can be

used as a stand-alone prod-

uct, acting as an aid to cell

therapy, said Rochkind in aAU interview. GRG is not

only able to preserve cells,

it can support their survival

while being used or therapy

and transplantation.

Every day, our bodies use

a vast nerve network set in

motion by electrical signals

within our body. Peripheral

nerves transmit signals rom the spinal

cord out to the rest o the body and they

also reverse the process, transmitting

external signals back to the spinal cord.

A damaged nerve cannot communi-

cate with the rest o the nervous system

or transmit signals back and orth as its

designed to, which impacts a persons abil-

ity to move and eel.

Te key to the gel-implant healing pro-

cess, said Rochkind, is that the implant,

which is tube-like, creates a bridge that

encourages the torn cell ends to connect.

Te gel is derived rom antioxidants,

synthetic brous protein peptides, and

hyaluronic acid to prevent drying. Te

tube was a major actor in the restoration

process, said Rockind, even in cases with

massive nerve damage.

When grown in the gel, cells show

excellent development as well as intensive

ber growth, he said. Tis could have

implications or the treatment o diseasessuch as Parkinsons, or which research-

ers are actively exploring cell therapy as a

potential solution.

Another 2013 study at AU by Pro.

Illana Gozes, a recent recipient o the

Meitner-Humboldt Research Award or

her lielong contribution to brain sciences,

shows great promise but is urther away

rom an applied clinical use.

Gozes, the director o AUs Adams

Super Center or Brain Studies, who holds

the Lily and Avraham Gildor chair or the

investigation o growth actors, with her

research team developed davunetide, or

NAP, a peptide compound that heals

microscopic tube-like units ound inside

brain cells called microtubule networks.

Te compounds ultimately transmit

important proteins that allow the cells to

communicate. Tis is the kind o commu-

nication that ails in diseases like Parkin-

sons and Alzheimers.

Te experiment, using two groups o

animal subjects, ound that one injection

o NAP could preserve and revive dam-

aged microtubule networks.

Both the mouse group that was gene

ically produced to have the nerve ce

damage and the group in which it w

induced by the use o an injected su

stance showed retarded cell damage

restored nerve cell unction.In both control groups o mice that d

not receive the NAP, each continued

experience nerve cell decline.

Te study was published in the journ

Neurobiology o Disease.

Gozes said that uture research mig

discover which patients would benet th

most rom the therapy by developing

better clinical application.

Earlier research with NAP indicat

that patients with low cognitive unctio

scores, which are usually an indication

a developing case o Alzheimers diseas

improved with the use o NAP.

In addition, earlier studies were show

to improve the damaged microtubule ne

works o patients diagnosed with schiz

phrenia.

Its tim to gt ovr ourslvs:Th lssons of th Pw survy

dOnniel hartMan spial o JtnwFacts rarely shape or change our opin-

ions. We preer to select the acts that

mirror and justiy that which we alreadyhold. Te release o the recent Pew survey,

A Portrait o Jewish Americans, with its

treasury o acts and gures, has caused

a tsunami among Jewish leadership and

social media as we all scramble to locate

the acts that can serve our preexisting

individual or institutional purposes and

cherished truths.

his process has a celebratory and

sel-congratulatory eature. For example,

many Israeli voices nd in the survey the

proo that they have been searching or to

justiy the Zionist claim o the unviability

and unsustainability o Diaspora Jewish

lie. Some within Orthodoxy nd evidence

to the unviability and unsustainability

o a liberal Judaism. Many voices within

other denominations nd evidence prov-

ing the superiority o their approach. Te

discourse around the survey invariably

takes on a orm o I told you so. When

one rees onesel rom ones ideological

and institutional loyalties, however, the

survey provides important inormation

and insight into the nature o our people

and uture directions that may warrant

consideration.

One interesting act exposed by the

survey is the scarcity o movement rom

less to more observance. People leave

their denominations to become increas-

ingly Jewish without religion, but rarely

increase their commitment to tradition

with its consequent aith and required

practices.

Te undamental lesson to be learned

is that we all have to get over ourselves.

Whether our denomination or belie

ares better in the commitment o its

adherents to Judaism, to raising chil-

dren Jewishly, and to the State o Israel,

it is simply irrelevant. Te less or dier-

ently observant are not going to change, i

change means accepting religious presup-

positions and categories that are at present

alien or absent in their lives.

Diversity is not the product o ailed

education or the lack o exposure o one

group to the truth and beauty o the other.

We dier Jewishly because as people

we have dierent notions regarding the

essence o our tradition, and dierent

approaches to what makes a lie a lie o

value. Te plurality o Judaisms is the

result o an ideological gap not a lack

o knowledge.

he undamental challenge we ace

regarding the uture vitality o our peo-

ples Jewish identity and commitment is

how to create ideas and experiences inter-

nal to each conceptual and ideological

ramework that are capable o garnering

greater excitement and depth o com-

mitment. In the end, victory will not be

achieved through the withering away othose who disagree with me nor through

the proven sustainability o my approach.

As I mentioned, we have to get over our-

selves. Victory will be attained when ever-

increasing numbers o Jews, regardless o

their aliation or lack thereo, will eel

more deeply connected and committed to

their Judaism.

In this process, it is critical to distin-

guish between that which is a core and

essential eature or reality o a particular

Jewish ideology, denomination, or soci-

ological classication and that which is

a current maniestation and expression

alone. Te acts that shed light on the latter

provide insight or educational responses

and new programmatic possibilities; the

acts that shed light on the ormer obligate

us to reshape our denitions o ourselves

as a people.

Tus, or example, even i living in

Israel, being Orthodox, or not intermarry-

ing increases the chances o ones children

being Jewish, this is merely a statistical

act as to the new reality o contemporary

Jewish lie, and not one with educational or

programmatic signicance. North Amer-

ican Jews on the whole are not going to

move to Israel, abandon their liberal sen-

sibilities, nor stop marrying ellow Ameri-

cans who embrace them and want to marry

them. Tese are not current maniestations

o 21st-century Jewish lie, but ongoing

and core eatures o this reality.

he key question or the uture o

Jewish lie is not whether one can change

this reality, but what one must do to

change the seemingly detrimental con-

sequences o this reality or the uture o

Jewish identity. Accepting this is one o

the greatest challenges o leaders and ideo-

logues to work within a given reality

to improve it instead o antasizing about

shaping it in ones image.

An interesting, important, and as-yet-

open question is whether the move away

rom institutions and denominations, as

identied in the survey, is a new reality or

merely a current maniestation. Tat Jews

see Judaism and Jewish identity increas-

ingly in terms that are less religious, I

suspect, is a reality. Here, paradoxically,

North American and Israeli Jewry are

becoming similar. Te religious-secular

divide o Israel is increasingly an appro-

priate lens with which to view North

American Jewry. But as we have been

learning here in Israel over the last decade

or so, the categories o both religious and

secular are neither monolithic nor one-

dimensional.

For example, secular does not mean

less Jewish, but dierently Jewish. While

most secular Israeli Jews believe in God,

the essence o their secularity is not deter-

mined by their aith but by the act that

they do not see in the worship o God, and

the rituals it entails, an essential part o

their Judaism. Jewish secular Israelis can

have a robust Jewish lie that entails com-

mitment to Jewish values, observance o

the Jewish calendar and liecycles, partici-

pation in Jewish culture and learning, and

loyalty to the Jewish people and their well-

being. Many o these eatures are or can be

dening aspects o a uture, vibrant, less

religious North American Jewry.

Te open question is whether Jewish

institutions and denominations can adapt

and continue to serve as important vehicles

or deepening Jewish identity and connec-

tions. It is my hope that what we are seeing

is merely a contemporary maniestation

and not a new reality. Our institutions will

require new thinking as they reimagine

their roles, but I believe we will do a huge

disservice to our uture i we believe we will

be better served without them.

Te human being is still a social animal

in need o community, particularity, and

individual connections. We are still i

need o partners, riends, services, assi

tance, guidance, and leadership at diere

moments o our lives. We still experien

moments when a connection to our pa

is a source o strength and inspiration. A

innovative and courageous educationa

religious, and lay leadership are capab

o providing the above, so long as we ar

open to rethinking the way we approac

our tasks and dene our goals.

One o the important eatures o ou

traditions understanding o Jewish iden

tity is that it is a national one and n

merely a religious one. One becom

Jewish through birth, conversion, or ma

riage and remains so regardless o ait

and practice. Consequently, sociolog

cal data about the Jews are not mere

descriptive, but denitive as to who w

are. Modernity and, in particular, lie

Israel and North America have change

the rules o the game. Te question is ho

we are going to play.

if not now, when?

When Abraham our father opened his tent to two strangers, he was committing a revolu-

tionary act. Fear of the stranger is deeply ingrained in human consciousness. When we examine

the word kindness we see that it contains the root kin. It is far easier to be kind to our kin,

those from our own tribe. Our ancestors established a system of ethics that sees the humanity

in all people. Yet, we read further on in the story that Abraham drove away his son Ishmael andthe boys mother. Surely this is a tear in the fabric of our heritage that caused and still causes

endless bloodshed and suffering.

As I write this, leaders from Israel and the Palestinian Authority are in Washington, D.C.

engaged in negotiations. This process is of necessity secret. Will they succeed in birthing a

Palestinian state within the agreed upon nine months? So far neither party has walked out.

All of us who love Israel hope and pray for her to remain Jewish and democratic, and gain

respect from the rest of the world. I maintain that we as American Jews need to support the

peace process wholeheartedly. To do so requires a leap of faith, yes. We need to put aside

thousands of years of fear and mistrust, all based on brutal historic reality. If not now, when?

against our mission?

I agree with Steven Hemmat (Allowing diverse opinions, Letters, Sept. 13). Why does

JTNews give a oor to opinions that side with people that want to destroy the Jewish state

of Israel? Palestinian leadership tried to destroy Israel even before 1948 under British rule and

more so after 1948. Can anyone nd a map of Israel in Palestinian school books or media?

Have you read the Hamas charter that calls for the destruction of every inch of Israel and

calls explicitly for the killing of Jews? Isnt it against the mission statement of JTNews as a

Jewish newspaper?

I am surprised the JTNews didnt nd it necessary to respond nor to x the inconsistency

of the action with the JTNews mission statement.

Th ky word in growing high school progrms: Opportunity

JOel Magalnickedior, JtnwWhen it comes to Jewish education,

teens in search o something more than the

typical classroom learning experience have

plenty o options. While several synagogues

around the area have long oered supple-

mentary education within their walls, twoprograms have been growing either inde-

pendently or as consolidations o multi-

ple congregations to allow teenagers who

might not otherwise have an opportunity to

meet to study and work together.

Te Livnot Project debuted last year as

a social-justice-learning program between

Conservative congregations Beth Shalom

in Seattle and Herzl-Ner amid on Mercer

Island. It has renamed itsel Livnot Chai

upon bringing the Chai School, a our-

year-old joint program between emple

De Hirsch Sinai and emple Bnai orah,

both Reorm synagogues in Bellevue, into

its old as the school year began.

Creating a multi-denominational

setting or high school students is really

important in terms o how theyre going

to experience their Jewish selves in college

and post-college, said Julie Hayon, Livnot

Chais director. Tis model is setting

them up to eel connected to the Jewish

community in a more successul way.

Students also attend rom Everetts

emple Beth Or, the Kavana Cooperative

in Seattle, and Congregation Kol Ami in

Woodinville, as well as a handul o stu-

dents who are unaliated with a congre-

gation. Hayon said the program will see

some changes with its larger ootprint.

On the Eastside we broadened the

curriculum, she said. Whereas Livnot

was always purely a social justice-based

program, this is three tracks: An arts track,

called Bezalel, a chochma track, which is

more philosophy and learning, and then

this Livnot social justice track. All three

are going to be through the lens o social

justice.

Yohanna Kinberg, associate rabbi at

emple Bnai orah, is running the Beza-

lel track, which runs the gamut rom son-

gleading to photography.

I have 30 kids in my elective, and they

all have dierent interests, Kinberg said,

which means that within the curriculum

she is piloting ideas almost in real time,

working with the actual kids.

Te ability to make on-the-fy changes

to the program made integrating the Chai

School into Livnot a big draw or the tem-

ples and or the teens.

You need to meet them right where

they are, Kinberg said, and provide them

the best experience possible.

Rabbi Jill Levy, Herzl-Ner amids

director o congregational learning, called

the growth o Livnot an amazing oppor-

tunity. For her students, it increases the

course oerings while increasing their

riendship base.

We really eel like its crucial in the

post Bnai Mitzvah years that these kids

are part o one Seattle Jewish community,

she said. I would call this a broad-reach

eort to bring as many teens together as

possible and to orm a partnership that

previously hasnt existed in the past.

Another addition to the partnership is

the J.eam teen philanthropy program,

which was a program o the Jewish Fed-

eration o Greater Seattle. J.eam will

consist o monthly get-togethers or stu-

dents to discuss social justice and chari-

table giving. Hayon said that because they

ound challenges in getting kids to cross

Lake Washington each week, this program

will run concurrently on both sides o the

water with occasional joint meet-ups.

Tere are a lot o ways that were

bringing the two sides together, through

grade-level retreats and through some

service-learning opportunities through

the community, and also through trips,

said Rabbi Daniel Septimus, director o

congregational learning at emple D

Hirsch Sinai.

Opportunities include volunteering

events such as We Day, which will conne

15,000 teens rom around the world in th

spring to discuss creating social change.

Septimus said the consolidation o th

schools creates better opportunities o

everyone involved.

What Livnot is bringing is wonderu

community resources, such as the Mu

lim-Jewish dialogue were doing, he sai

Te more resources you have in the sam

room, the better. Were living in an ag

in the Jewish community where we hav

ewer and ewer resources and we hav

to gure out better ways to better utiliz

them together.

Because, as Kinberg noted, the cu

riculum or the original Chai School w

already in place when Livnot approache

Septimus said he doesnt envision a hug

shi rom what the original Chai Scho

was doing, at least in the near term. Bu

he said, Livnot is adding some mor

selections and options or electives, an

o course bringing new kids into the old

While many o the original Chai Scho

teachers have been integrated into Livn

Chai, the model established last year i

Seattle brings in teachers who are exper

in their elds.

Te way that weve chosen teache

is to pick proessionals in the communit

who are passionate about what they do i

their own work, and were asking them

to teach teens about doing that and ge

ting teens involved in that kind o work

said Hayon.

Tis method o bringing in experts

very similar to a popular course calle

Business, Ethics and orah (BE), a pa

o the supplementary Jewish High th

meets each week at the Stroum Jewis

Community Center on Mercer Island. On

o Jewish Highs many oerings or hig

school credit, BE last year ocused on pe

sonal nance, but is expanding outwar

this year to have more o a ocus on th

ethics and education o corporate busines

Its not nalized yet, but were lookin

at people who are in our community wh

are leaders o industry, said Ari Homan

who oversees Jewish High as well as th

NCSY youth group and Jewish Studen

Union groups that meet in public hig

schools across the Puget Sound Regio

In addition, some people are coming

rom out o town who t that mold as we

who we hope to have the kids talk to.

diana breMent Jtnw corrpodWhile shes not a ormal member o

any diplomatic corps, al Goshen-Gott-

stein is an ambassador o sorts.

Goshen-Gottstein is Hillel at the Univer-sity o Washingtons rst Israel ellow, one

o a handul around the country. Te Israel

ellow program is a joint venture between

the Jewish Agency or Israel and Hillels

Schusterman International Center. She was

selected aer an extensive search process.

My ocus, Goshen-Gottstein says,

is to work with anyone who identies

as Jewish rom age 18 to 32 interested in

aglit-Birthright the ully unded trips

to Israel or young adults or MASA or

older students.

But theres more to her mission.

I think the main thing is just having

an Israeli walking around, smilingtalk-

ing to people, she says.

She will also bring some Israel-cen-

tered programming to Hillel that could be

political, yes, but also ood and cultural.

Mostly, she adds, I want to be a resource

or students who have questions, about

Israel and Judaism, no matter what their

background.

She really understands the value o

pluralism, says Rabbi Oren Hayon, Hillel

UWs executive director, and recognizes

the wide diversity o views on Israel within

the young adult community in Seattle

She is the perect proessional to meet

people where they are, and help deepen

their understanding o Israel.

Growing up Modern Orthodox in Jeru-

salem, al attended a religious high school,

but says she is not observant anymore. She

lived in Canada or the rst our years o

her lie, so her English her rst lan-

guage, but not my strong language is

fuent, but charmingly accented.

Te 25-year-old has a strong interest

in programs that combine education and

searching or Jewish identity.

She rst worked in the U.S. three years

ago as a shlicha, or emissary, at the Con-

servative movements Camp Ramah in

Wisconsin.

Tat opened my appetite, i you can

say that in English, she says.

al just nished her BA in psychol-

ogy and philosophy rom Hebrew Univer-

sity, having submitted her thesis paper just

this month. Most Israelis attend university

aer military service, so nishing school

quickly is the norm. But al wanted to

get a broader education beore I got a

degree and took an extra year o classes

in the humanities: A lot o Bible, Jewish

thought, she says.

As a commander in the IDF Education

Corps Israels is the only army in the

world with one al taught soldiers who

didnt nish high school in a GED-type

program. She instructed immigrants rom

around the world and members o minor-

ity communities, including many rom

Muslim and ultra-Orthodox communi-

ties, in English, Israeli citizenship, history,

computers and more.

I loved it, Goshen-Gottstein said.

We got a microcosm o the Israeli educa-

tion system.

eMily k. alhadeFF Aoia edior, JtnwOn a cool evening in early October,

approximately 60 women gathered in the

contemporary Winston Wachter Fine Art

gallery in South Lake Union. Over wineand Mediterranean-inspired appetiz-

ers, they chatted and perused the exhibits

beore taking their seats or a short pre-

sentation.

Hadassahs not just about our grand-

mas. Its about us, said amar Boden, a

Hadassah regional board member and one

o the event organizers.

Te occasion, Hadassah Plus Art, was

the rst o three new Hadassah Plus

events geared toward bringing a wider

demographic o women into the Hadassah

old. Hadassah Plus Cuisine and Hadassah

Plus Wellness are in the docket, due to roll

out in early 2014.

he organizers didnt spend much

time talking about Hadassah, but quickly

handed the proverbial mic over to Stacey

Winston-Levitan and Mimi Sternberg.

Winston-Levitan, a co-ounder and owner

o the gallery, briefy described the exhi-

bitions: Erich Wolls When Tings Go

South glass installation, and Peter Waites

Space ravel, large paintings o archite

tural spaces laced with neon gridlines.

Sternberg, an art educator, tied th

evening to Hadassah with a presentatioon Marc Chagalls stained-glass window

installed at the Hadassah Ein Kerem ho

pital chapel in Jerusalem. Sternberg sa

she rst saw the windows as a 15-year-o

on a visit to Israel and was blown away.

Trough descriptions o ve o the wi

dows and a history o the artists lie an

relationship to Israel, Sternberg explaine

that the stained glass was meant by Ch

gall to be a transparent partition betwee

[his] heart and the heart o the world.

O the 60 or so women in atten

dance, Boden and her co-planner Naom

Newman estimated about 50 o them we

new aces to Hadassah events. Te turno

was mostly the result o outreach to abou

300 women in their personal networks.

According to Boden, they receive

good eedback and acquired a handul

new members.

Paciic Northwesterners will also

worthy job training and cradle-to-

Our vision is that we will carry

cooperation and sharing o the

Israeli experience, said Anat Brov-

man, director o the Seattle areas

newly opened Friends o AKIM

USA oce, which will most likely be

located in Bellevue.

he Seattle branch will be

mostly concerned with undrais-

ing and launching prospective proj-

ects, said Brovman, such as camps, visits

to Israel to existing acilities, or sharing

AKIMs Israeli experience with local orga-

nizations willing to cooperate with us.

Headquartered in New York, Friends

o AKIM USA currently has locations in

Palm Beach, Fla., Los Angeles, and Cleve-

land and Columbus, Ohio.

In the U.S, AKIM is a 501(c)(3) tax-

exempt nonprot organization.

In Israel, AKIM operates within a $15

million annual budget, with hal o its

expenses covered by the government and

Israels social security program and the

other hal generated rom private dona-

tions and global philanthropy.

In 2012, Israels minister o health ini-

tiated mental health reorm through a

national health insurance order, which

transerred the costs o mental health

crisis services rom the Ministry o Health

to Israels HMOs. Tis change also com-

bined the mental-health-crisis-care system

with the general physical-medical-health-

care system.

According to Haaretz, one o the more

endangered groups impacted by this

shi in resources is the mentally ill.

AKIM in Israel operates group homes,

social clubs, summer camps, workshops,

and apartments or the disabled within

commercial residential buildings or more

than 30,000 disabled persons o all ages

throughout the country.

We believe that it is in our hands to

improve and to turn our society into a

better and a healthier one, said Mica Dan-

ieli, head o AKIM headquarters in the

U.S. We believe that it can be done by

providing the people with special needs

with an equal attitude.

A special IDF unit works with AKIM

on a project called Sar-El, which con

sists o small groups o disabled indivi

uals between 21 and 30 years old who a

accompanied by Israeli soldier-mentowho provide them with support, trainin

and leadership.

in actories assembling computers or pe

orming other duties that are essential

AKIM also collaborates with glob

companies on work-training program

through a project called Open Mark

Employment. Ikea and Promedico a

two businesses that employ AKIM pa

ticipants and give them an opportunity

have a job.

Once we all learn how to treat and

behave equally and with respect to tho

who are dierent rom us, said Danie

we shall enjoy lie in a better and a hap

pier society or us and or our next gen

eration.

AKIMs New York administrativ

director, Ben Rabinovitch, told JNew

the organization wants to grow and

continually scouting or new location

including potential outlets on Long Islan

and in Phoenix.

We are interested in raising awarene

and growing as much as possible here

the U.S., said Rabinovitch. Our goal

to help people with special needs in Isra

as much as we possibly can, and we w

spread our message wherever and howev

we can in order to reach that goal.

When asked why AKIM would open

he said. It serves as a hotspot or youn

Hollywoods ann Frnk mks Sttl dbut

eMily k. alhadeFF Aoia edior, JtnwMillie Perkins was on her way to

becoming a successul model in Paris

when history intervened.

I had never decided to be an actress,

she said. I was probably 18 or 19 years

old. Little did I know I was going to be amovie star.

Now 77, Perkins is best known or her

role as Anne in the 1959 lm production

o Te Diary o Anne Frank. Perkins will

be interviewed by lm bu Foster Hirsch

at the Stroum Jewish Community Center

on Oct. 27 as part o the Js Jewish ouch

lecture series.

Hirsch, in addition to teaching and

writing about lm, handles celebrity inter-

views and has brought Perkins to Chicago

and Israel.

Fosters one o my most avorite

people around, so I said yes [to Seattle],

Perkins told JNews rom her home in

Beverly Hills.

Born in Passaic, N.J. in 1938, Perkinss

ace was gracing magazine covers around

the world by 1958. Director George Ste-

vens noticed her looks and invited her to

read or the part o Anne. But acting had

never occurred to Perkins, and she knew

nothing o the story o the Dutch girl

whose diary would come to impact West-

ern civilization.

She had already been modeling in

London and Paris

when the opportu-

nity arose to audition.

Its kind o a airytale

story, she said. All

my French riends said,Oh Millie, you must

go, Perkins said.

Perkins was one o

10,000 girls to audi-

tion or the part. Te

diary hit me right in

the heart, she said.

Ater six months

o shooting, Perkins

could have returned

to her Parisian airy-

tale, but it wasnt

meant to be.

I met this actor, Dean Stockwell, who I

married or like two minutes, and became

a Hollywood person, she said.

While Anne Frank went on to win

three Academy Awards, Perkinss acting

career never exploded. In the late 1970s,

a rumor spread that she had died. In act,

she had relocated to tiny Jacksonville, Ore.

to raise the two daughters she had with her

second, late husband Robert Tom.

I moved to Oregon to get o the loco-

motive, Perkins recalled. I was raising

my children. It was heaven to me.

When Tom died in 1979, Perkins sa id

she had to get back to reality, and in

1980 returned to Hollywood to support

her amily, where she acted mostly in tele-

vision, B-movies, and cult lms espe-

cially in mother roles. She appeared as

Sean Penns mother in At Close Range

and as the mother o Charlie Sheens char-

acter in Wall Street.

Tough Perkins sounds wistul as she

refects on the turns her lie has taken, it

has been an adventure.

I went out into the world, and I think I

really wanted to be my ather, a merchant

marine, she said.

While shooting the 1985 miniseries

A.D., in which Perkins played Mary,

mother o Jesus, in unisia, she was held

at gunpoint by Yasser Araats soldiers at

the airport.

Te guard looked at my passport and

my ace and said, No, she recounted.

He shoved me in the chest with his gun.

Perkins escort pushed her into a crowd

onto the tarmac. It was scary. O the

whole experience, she said, It was quite

wonderul and dicult. But it was un.

On another occasion, Perkins wa

seated next to ormer Israeli prime mini

ter Ehud Barak on a fight.

He told me wonderul stories, sh

said, like the time he came upon an Egyp

tian soldier alone during the Yom Kippu

War. In a stando, they held their guns o

one another. Ten, they looked in eac

others eyes and they both put their gun

down and shared their lunches. He nev

told anyone that story.

Perkinss talk comes at a signica

time: Tis November marks the 75th ann

versar y o Kristallna cht. he Museu

o olerance in Los Angeles is current

holding an exhibit about Anne Frank.

Te lm lay dormant or many years

Perkins said. Ten about 10 years ag

there was a new furry o interest.

She suggests the popularity o the stor

is related to the increased access to ino

mation and with it, hate.

I see terrible hate going on, and I se

great strides going on to change that

she said. I think Pandoras Box has bee

opened. Who knows how the human rac

will be in 10 or 20 years?

addition to learning survival skills, Staszek has to choose between Jewish Zinnia

and Russian Luybk. In Redcurrants (2011, 34 mins.) Swedish resident, academic

and journalist Leo Kantor reenacts his life story: His childhood in Russia in World

War II, his adoption by his Polish-Jewish stepfather, and the witnessing of Ger-

mans leaving Poland after the war that shaped his memories.

BBYO invites every Jewish teenin the world to Global Shabbatb M ehg

As the worlds leading Jewish youth movement, the Bnai Brith Youth Orga-nization (BBYO) always has something going on. Summer programs stretch romJune to August, regions hold multiple conventions throughout the year, andchapters all over the international order are conducting their weekly meetingson any given day.

The world participates in BBYO on countless schedules and with unique reg-ularity. One day each year, however, is designated as a time or all Jewish teensto join in the same special event. That day is Global Shabbat.

Global Shabbat is all about the unity o the organization, and to urther pro-mote this unity, the event is given a theme relating to our lives and our identitiesas Jewish high school students. These themes are chosen at the start o the pro-gramming year by vote, and the polls are open to all members o BBYO.

Chapters around theworld will coordinate events based on these themes to celebrate Global Shabbatand the community BBYO has given us.

This years Global Shabbat alls on November 8-9. In past years, the EvergreeRegion BBYO, which covers Seattle, Portland, Eugene, and now Kitsap, have heindividual Global Shabbat events.

However, 5774 is going to be dierent.

b shlm MhRecently I went on a trip with my resh-

man class at Northwest YeshivaHigh School that was like no other.We sailed around Puget Sound orthree days without cell phones,

showers and iPods aboard theS.S. Adventuress, a 100-year-oldwooden schooner. My initial thoughtsbeore embarking were, Oy vey, howam I supposed to get through this?

Upon boarding the boat I was readyto chill with my riends or three days andenjoy the scenery, but that was not to bethe case. Within the frst hour o the trip, wewere hauling up the sails and cleaning potsand pans like real crew. We were given noslack because we were inexperienced andyoung; we were put to work like every other sailor toboard the S.S. Adventuress. At frst it was a little overwhelm-ing, having so much duty to fll all the time, but by the end othe trip we got through all our tasks easily and with much more enthusiasm thaon day one!

Being on the boat gave me a dierent perspective on teamwork. On the boaits literally all or one and one or all. In my lie I had never seen that phrasused so literally. Whether it was all hands on deck to haul up the our sails in thmorning, or taking turns watching the schooner in the middle o the night, everone looked out or and helped one another.

For three days we experienced an alternate universe. We looked at natufrst-hand, rom porpoises to sea otters. We learned about sail theory and thphysics o sailing. We learned about the ecology o the ocean and how importait is to keep it clean. Most importantly, we learned the true meaning o teamwoand caring or one another.

t il h h h

b eh GlgThe results o the survey o attitudes o American Jews in A Portrait o Jewish

America, conducted by Pew Research and published October 1, have sent shockwaves through the American Jewish community. One disturbing aspect o thesurvey results is the lack o connection younger Jews have to the State o Israel.

The survey ound that while over hal o those Jews 65 and older eel caring

about Israel is an essential aspect o what it means to be Jewish, o those 30 andyounger, only 32 percent eel this way. Equally startling, 68 percent o AmericanJews in high school or younger have not been to Israel. These results show thatthe number o young people who eel connected to Israel is drastically declining.

There is hope! Interviews conducted with Seattle-area high school studentswho recently traveled to Israel paint a dierent picture. While many Jewish teensare choosing to be unafliated and secular, some are strengthening their Jewishidentity and connection with Israel.

These summer programs enrich high school students and instill them with alove and appreciation o the Jewish identity and homeland.

Amit Perlin, a junior at the Seattle Academy o Arts and Sciences, went on theAlexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) program and said he gained astronger Jewish identity, which includes Israel.

Amits experience with Alexander Muss entailed studying in Israel or eightweeks last spring and essentially attending high school in Israel, credits and all.Every week, Amit had classes as they hiked around Israel and learned by experi-encing the land one step at a time. He also learned Jewish history rom the Bibli-cal beginning o Adam, to the creation o Zionism, to present-day Israel.

There was a lot to learn in little time, he said. The hardest part, accordingto Amit, was at frst 24/7 being with people I never met and [going] out o yourcomort zone. But overall, an amazing experience.

Leah Ball, a senior at Auburn Riverside High School, went on United Syna-gogue Youth Israel Pilgrimage/Poland Seminar. I never elt so Jewish beore,she said. Leah spent one week in Poland and our weeks in Israel with USY. Herviews were extended, she said. I learned more than I thought I did.

Leah realized that the world is huge, but its also really small.Leah created connections with strangers she encountered in Israel, which

she called a testament to the Jewishidentity she developed on her trip.Leah also shared an intense tie with herpeers based on what they experiencedtogether. Leah recalls they all cried

together over tragedies that brought uscloser than we ever could have gotten.Albert Hanan, a junior at Northwest

Yeshiva High School, went on NationalCouncil o Synagogue Youths (NCSY)program, The Jewish Journey. This month-long program began in the north o Israeland toured down all the way down to thesouth, ull o hikes, visits to kibbutzim, andexploring. With his program open andaccepting o dierent levels o religiosity,Albert shared that it was interesting to learnabout dierent types o Judaism and howother people connect to Judaism.

Albert also discovered the culture o Israel, saying it ascinated him to see theven though Israelis share our religion, the culture is very dierent. In the enAlbert explained that his group really had become as close as a amily.

From Amit, Leah, and Alberts experiences, it is clear that although Israel isoreign land in some ways to Jewish America, a common connection will alwaybring us back and link us to the homeland. Each said they grew as people anas Jews as their two identities became one. Leah said there are no words tdescribe how amazing it was.

So i A Portrait o Jewish America fnds that younger Jews have less oconnection to the state and land o Israel and that Israel is not essential to theJewish identity, I think these three would beg to dier.
