Th cltr o sccss anailr

Jonathan S. tobin JNS.orgAlls air in love, war and politics. So it is

to be expected that Jewish Democrats desir-

ous o President Obamas re-election will

be doing their best to perpetuate the ideathat Republican presidential candidate Mitt

Romneys oreign trip this month was an

unmitigated disaster. But the media narra-

tive about his trip to Israel is one that ought

to worry supporters o Israel no matter

which party or candidate they support.

Romney is said to have disgraced him-

sel by saying that i you want to under-

stand the stark contrast between the success

o Israel and the ailure o the Palestin-

ians, Culture makes all

the dierence. It was to be

expected that the Palestin-

ian Authority (PA) would

attack him. But the Ameri-

can mainstream media has

been almost as scathing in

describing it as an insult.

While political observ-

ers will rightly put this

down as just one among

scores o minor skirmishes

in a long presidential cam-

paign that wont have

much impact on the nal

outcome, the controversy

is actually quite signii-

cant in terms o what it

reveals about American attitudes toward

the Middle East. Far rom Romney being

revealed to be a oolish dabbler in or-

eign policy whose blunders have exacer-

bated an already troubled peace process,

his comments were actually quite accurate

about the reasons why Israel is a haven o

ree enterprise and the areas run by the

PA are, to be charitable, a basket case. It

is, instead, Romneys critics, such as the

pompous editorialists at the New York

imes, who are demonstrating their pro-

ound ignorance. Whats more, it is the

reusal o so many allegedly inormed

observers o the region, as well as Amer-

ican and European political gures, to

admit that what Romney said was true,

that is enabling the corruption and vio-

lence that continues to sink any hopes o

Palestinian reorm.

Te act that the key to success lies

in the political and economic culture

o a nation is something that has been

acknowledged by virtually every credible

authority on the subject. Indeed, even the

United Nations Arab Human Develop-

ment Report noted that existing cultural

norms in the Arab world are a primary

obstacle to progress.

Romneys critics say hes wrong because

Israels occupation is the reason why

the West Bank and Gaza are so depressed.

While the continuance o the conlict

because o Palestinian intransigence doesnt

help development, that is not the cause o

all their problems. As anyone who has even

a passing knowledge o how the PA govern-

ment in the West Bank, as well as the ind

pendent Palestinian state (in all but nam

that Hamas governs in Gaza, work, o

cial corruption is the rule rather than thexception. Te complete absence o the ru

o law there is not the ault o Israel but

the terrorist organizations masquerading

political parties who run those places.

Instead o concentrating on osterin

ree enterprise and creating trust, the ocu

o the Fatah-run entity is the enrichme

o the ruling elite and the continuance

the war on Israel. Following in the oo

steps o Yasser Araat, Mahmoud Abb

and his cronies have squandered or stole

most o the billions that have been poure

into these areas by the European Unio

and the United States.

Palestinians are not just hampered b

the Arab cultural backwardness in whic

human rights are abused, women are di

criminated against, and gays and rel

gious minorities are persecuted. Tey a

harmed by their own particular culture,

which rejection o the legitimacy o Isra

and omenting o hatred against Jews h

given their leaders license to eschew pea

and gloriy violence. Anyone who ignor

this truth and the need or Palestinians

undergo a cultural sea change or peace o

prosperity to have a chance is doing the

no avor.

Te troubling aspect o this story

not whether Romney will be hurt by it, b

whether riends o Israel on both sides

the political aisle will continue to avoid th

truth about the Palestinians. Neither pol

ical correctness nor the political advantag

that Democrats seek justies the attac

on Romneys remarks. Anyone who car

about peace in the Middle East includin

Jewish liberals ought to be echoing th

Republican on this issue, not attacking him

Islam is the perfect religion for Muslims. Christianity is the perfect religion for Christians. Judaism is the perfect religion for Jews.

Rabbi Jim Mirel of Temple Bnai Torah at a joint Tisha BAv/Ramadan event last week. See the full story on page 6.

Edgar M. bronfMan JTa World Nws SrvcNEW YORK (JA) Troughout a

hal-century o international diplomatic

work, I have learned to tell the politi-

cians rom the riends and the charlatansrom the statesmen. Charlatans scream.

Tey tell you what you want to hear and

call other people names. Friends and lead-

ers need not rely on rhetoric or boisterous

bravado. Tey produce results and act on

principle.

President Obama is such a riend and

leader. In his 3-1/2 years in oce he has

deepened and strengthened the relation-

ship between the United States and Israel.

And today, Obama continues to imple-

ment a comprehensive pro-Israel agenda

that has made Israel saer and more secure.

Under Obama, U.S. nancial aid to

Israel is at its highest levels ever. During

the past our years, Israel has avoided

becoming engaged in any substantial

rontal military engagements, advanced

its notable economic development, and

remains prepared or negotiating a com-

prehensive peace. Obama as president

has led a mutually benecial resurgence

in the exchange o strategic technology,

intelligence and cooperation between

U.S. armed orces and the Israel Deense

Forces.

Standing by Israel, Obama opposed the

unilateral declaration o a Palestinian state

and blocked its recognition at the United

Nations. He supported Israels right to

deend itsel and conronted head-on the

now-discredited Goldstone Report that

condemned Israeli deensive action o its

coast. He also ordered the United States to

withdraw rom the Durban Review Con-

erence, whose namesake conerence was

supposed to be about racism but instead

became an anti-Israel hate-est. Obama

stated unequivocally that he United

States will stand up against eorts to single

Israel out at the United Nations or in any

international orum.

Going even urther, Obama has taken

the oor o the United Nations to declare

that Israels existence must not be a sub-

ject or debate and that eorts to chip

away at Israels legitimacy will be met

only by the unshakable opposition o the

United States.

When Fatah and Hamas joined polit-

ical orces and pressured Israel to enter

negotiations with them, Obama told the

world that No country can be expected

to negotiate with a terrorist organization

sworn to its destruction, concluding that

Israel cannot be expected to negotiate

with Palestinians who do not recognize its

right to exist.

And this is also why Obama has taken

such a strong stand against the Iranian

nuclear program the single greatest

threat to the State o Israel and the stability

o the Middle East. Afer years o inaction

and neglect by the Bush administration,

Obama constructed an international coali-tion to impose the most crippling sanc-

tions ever on the Iranian regime. Tese

sanctions have already chocked o Irans

access to many capital markets and have

had a proound eect on the way ehran

nances its nearious operations. Covert

U.S. operations targeting Irans nuclear

inrastructure reportedly have also slowed

their rate o progress.

While his opponents can talk tough on

Iran, the president is doing what is nec-

essary to prevent Iran rom developing a

nuclear weapon.

Nevertheless, despite clear acts and

substantial evidence, political partisans

and opponents o the president continue

a coordinated campaign to distort reality

in a brazen attempt to ool the public. Te

same type o people who called Obama

a closet Muslim and claimed he was not

born in the United States now exercise lin-

guistic calisthenics to obuscate the truth

and portray the president as hostile to the

Jewish State. Nothing could be urther

rom the truth.

Not long ago, while sitting in the Oval

Oce, Obama looked me in the eye and

said, My commitment to Israels security

is bone deep. He did not have to say it. I

already knew that President Obama would

never orsake the Jewish State, its security,

and its people. His record o perormance

is crystal clear and the charlatans cannot

change that.

My ather beore me actively supported

Jewish communities around the world and

prior to 1948 closely worked with those

establishing the modern State o Israel. For

more than a hal century, I have worked

with successive Israeli governments and

U.S. presidents Republican and Demo-

crat to provide or the saety and secu-

rity o the Jewish people and the State o

Israel.

My amily has loved, worked, invested

in and supported the State o Israel, its

security and its people since beore its

ounding. We have not always agreed with

its policies, but we have always been there

to support and deend its government

and people. We are connected to every

acet o Jewish lie and want nothing more

than Israels peace, security, vibrancy and

prosperity. I am condent that President

Obama shares our values and I shall con-

dently vote or him in November.

All that w n

rabbi JaninE SchloSS Tmpl Bth amI have a conession to

make. You see, I thought Iwas pretty modest, but Ive

recently learned that I might

have been haughtier than I

thought I was. You want to

hear the story? Sure! Heres

how it begins.

Like I said, I think Im

pretty modest. I dont have

a lot o clothes; I dont spend

a lot o time concerned with

how I look. I dont brag about my house or

my trips or my kids school. So i you had

asked me this question a ew years or even

a ew months ago, I would have comort-

ably told you that I think I control my pos-

sessions and my wants pretty well.

hat was beore the divorce. Even

though my husband and I separated quite

amicably, we still had to divide up our

possessions. Te process was understand-

ably dicult, and it was the rst time that

I began to realize how important my pos-

sessions were to me.

Ten we had to sell the house, and

thats when the real trouble began. I love

my house. Its beautiul and its big and

everything I owned could t in it. Te

problem is, when you get divorced, you

have to get two houses or the price o one.

So surprise, surprise, the rental home that

I moved into a ew weeks ago is hal the

size o my previous home. It wasnt until I

started unpacking that I truly realized how

manythings I own! I think I could ll my

new kitchen three times over and still not

have enough room or everything!

Tis weeks orah portion, Ekev, talks

about this exact experience. God tells us:

ake care lest you orget the Eternal your

God. When you have eaten your ll, and

have built ne houses to live in, and your

herds and ocks have multiplied, and your

silver and gold have increased, and every-

thing you own has prospered, beware lest

your heart grow haughty and you orget

the Eternal Your God (Deu

8:11-14).God is sending us a ver

important message. God

saying: When weve eate

everything we want to ea

and weve built a big house

live in, and our possession

have not only increased b

multiplied, we run the risk

becoming ull o ourselve

Te more we have, the mo

likely we are to become conceited and sel

absorbed.

Not only that, but the more we hav

the less ofen we give thanks to God. Sud

denly the money in our bank accoun

seems like a tting reward or our bri

liance. We believe we deserve to be so we

o and perhaps most tragically o all

we orget to give to others who have le

than we do.

So too with me. I had eaten my ll,

was living in a ne house, and I had pro

pered. I had plenty, but I had gotten t

the point where I no longer appreciated

Worst o all, I had orgotten to give thank

to God or the goodness around me.

I am grateul that the lesson o Eke

came just when it did. Now that I

just as proud o mysel and my home n

stage in my lies journey.

Most o all, with every box that

Help support two great institutionshelping kids

In a perect world every child would be happy and healthy. Unortunately, the real

world doesnt work that way and not all children are able to enjoy good health. But

ortunately, many o those young people who have health issues have two premiere

northwest institutions to turn to or some o the best pediatric care in the country. Tey

are Childrens Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Childrens Hospital in Oregon.

QFC is proud to support these two great organizations as our charities o the month

or August. Each is a leader in providing superior patient care and using research to

advance new t reatments.

Childrens Hospital in Seattle has been treating children regardless o race,

religion, gender or a amilys ability to pay since 1907 and provided over $100 million

in uncompensated care in 2011. It has consistently been ranked among the best

childrens hospitals in the U.S. and serves as a pediatric and adolescent reerral center

or Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Seattle Childrens consists o three

organizations, Seattle Childrens Hospital, Seattle Childrens Research Institute and

Seattle Childrens Hospital Foundation.Childrens Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical,

rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. It has 254 beds and a sta

o over 1,200 proessionals, including over 700 doctors. In 2011, it had over 300,000

patient visits, including visits to o-site clinics. Seattle Childrens Research Institute

has nine major centers with over 350 investigators researching hundreds o diseases

and disorders in elds such as cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, inectious

disease, injury prevention and bioethics. Researchers in the centers collaborate with

each other and with their colleagues at partner institutions including the University o

Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Doernbecher Childrens Hospital began serving patients in 1926 in Portland

and is now afliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. It has clinics in

several communities around the state o Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington.

Like Childrens Hospital in Seattle, Doernbecher is involved in research which is

quickly translated into new treatments. Specic areas o research include cardiology,

neurology, weight regulation, metabolism, oncology and stem cell research.

Both Childrens Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Childrens Hospital believe

that children should have compassionate, amily-centered care. Both are at the

oreront o pediatric medical research so that they can advance new treatments in

their quests to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. You can join QFC in

supporting these great institutions by donating at any check stand using the $1, $5, or

$10 scan cards or by dropping change in coin boxes.

gwEn daviS, Spcl to JTNwsIslam is the perect religion or Mus-

lims. Christianity is the perect religion or

Christians. Judaism is the perect religion

or Jews, said Rabbi Jim Mirel at woFaiths, One God, an event that brought

Jews and Muslims to the synagogue to

pray and break the asts o isha BAv and

Ramadan together.

Te July 29 event joined members o

the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and

emple Bnai orah. Mirel, o B, and

the Ahmadiyya Muslim Communitys

leader, Anwar Mahmood Khan, spoke

about the unity o the two religions.

Brothers and sisters, Mirel began,

we both praise, honor and try to ollow

the best we can God. Sometimes we

have the Arabic word or God, Allah.

Sometimes we have the Hebrew word,

Elohim. And other times we have the Eng-

lish word, God. But, one God.

He continued, Its wonderul learning

about the wonderul tradition o Islam,

which, as you know, is our sister religion.

Tis is a great gathering, Khan said

when he addressed the audience. It teaches

that people rom dierent aiths might have

dierent ideologies, but they believe in one

God. We all adhere to please our Creator,

to ask or orgiveness rom Him, to thank

Him and request o Him that He contin-

uously guide us in the best way He can so

that we can bring orth world peace.

Along with the addresses, the evening

alternated between Jewish and Muslim

prayers. Mirel and Khan told the con-

gregants to participate only i they elt

comortable. A orah and Quran exhibit

was set up in the social hall or people to

observe afer the services and beore and

during the break-ast meal.

Approximately 200 people joined the

event, with about 60 percent rom the

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the

rest Jews, mostly members o B, as well

as some Christians.

Both Jewish and Muslim attendees

seemed happy that this event was taking

place.

I was always impressed with how the

Islamic aith embraced the Jewish proph-

ets and Christian prophets and respected

the orah and Gospels in a manner that is

beautiul, said Phil Gerson, interaith dia-

logue coordinator at B. It sets the stage

or realizing were all connected.

I ofen read the Quran or the congreg

tion and at home, said 16-year-old Awa

Ahmae, who sang Quran versus during th

service. I eel blessed Im able to do thaIm happy Ive been blessed by God.

Te event was planned several month

ago when Khan reached out to Mirel, su

gesting the two organizations create a

interaith experience. Mirel proposed

should be on isha BAv, which this ye

coincided with Ramadan, when bot

groups ast.

Our celebration reminds us that th

prompted uture studies to see whether

weight loss as an adult can reverse this

eect, or whether a higher BMI acted on a

genetic mutation to produce the cancers.

Shamiss has a hunch that childhood

obesity may be linked to several other can-

cers, including the subject o his current

research, pancreatic cancer.

Pants and humans

In a highly innovati

study coming out o AUManna Center or Plant Bi

sciences, its director, pla

geneticist and proess

Daniel Chamovitz, ound th

plants can see, smell, touc

and taste, although not t

same as humans do, and th

we share a large part o the

genetic makeup.

Chamovitz discovered th

plants, humans, and animals all share th

genes that makes us sensitive to light an

regulate our circadian rhythm, cell div

sion and immune system.

When his team studied ruit li

that had a mutation in these genes, t

researchers ound that they developed

ruit-y type o leukemia and that the

circadian rhythms were o. Te ruit i

exhibited something like jetlag.

Te same group o proteins that plan

use to decide i they are in the light

dark is also used by animals and humans

Chamovitz reported to AU sta. Fir

they control the circadian rhythm, the bi

logical clock that helps our bodies keep

24-hour schedule. Second, they contr

the cell cycle which means we can lea

more about mutations in these genes th

lead to cancer.

Chamovitzs nding could also le

to the use o plants as subjects or c

research, replacing much o the anim

subjects used in research today.

knew he had a treasure in his hands a

nearly century-old booklet or Ladino-

speaking Jews immigrating to the UnitedStates that eatured English, Ladino and

Yiddish expressions to help them accultur-

ate into their new communities.

I thought to mysel, Ive got a real nd

here, said Azose, the cantor emeritus at

Congregation Ezra Bessaroth in Seattle,

whose amily came rom urkey.

So he became one o many people in

Seattle to share a Ladino artiact with Devin

Naar, an assistant proessor in Jewish stud-

ies at the University o Washington who

is trying to uncover, collect, preserve and

digitize the rich heritage o Sephardi Jews.

While small collections o Ladino books

and documents can be ound at the Library

o Congress, the American Sephardi Fed-

eration and Yeshiva University, Naar says

his project, the Seattle Sephardic reasures,

is the rst community-based initiative to

gather Ladino source materials in one place.

More than 10,000 Yiddish books are

readily accessible and digitized through

the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst,

Mass., but no equivalent exists or Ladino

and virtually no original Ladino books

can be accessed online, said Naar, whose

eort is part o the larger Sephardic Stud-

ies Initiative o the University o Washing-

tons Stroum Jewish Studies Program.

Ladino, also known as Judeo-Spanish,

was the language o Sephardi Jews whose

ancestors were expelled rom Spain in 1492

and then settled throughout the Mediterra-

nean basin o the Ottoman Empire.

Its Ashkenazi counterpart, Yiddish,

continues to survive through Yiddish-

speaking haredi Orthodox communities

and some secular advocates o the lan-

guage. Ladino, however, has aced a steep

decline in the past century. While Yiddish

has more than 3 million speakers world-

wide, UNESCO estimates that ewer than

150,000 people still speak Ladino.

Gloria Ascher, co-director o Judaic

Studies at ufs University, oers sev-

eral reasons or the languages precipitous

dropo: 90 percent o Ladino speakers,

particularly in places such as Bulgaria and

Greece, were murdered during the Holo-

caust; with the rise o Zionism, Hebrewis emphasized as the central Jewish lan-

guage; and Ladino-speaking immigrant

parents encourage their children to speak

the native language o their new countries,

such as English.

Afer New York and Los Angeles, Seat-

tle has the third largest Sephardi com-

munity in the United States. According

to a 2000 study by the Jewish Federation

o Greater Seattle, there are 2,700 Sep-

hardi households in the communitys total

22,490 Jewish households.

Naar started collecting materials at Ezra

Bessaroth, a Sephardi synagogue, at the

annual Purim bazaar in March. He already

has gathered dozens o documents, includ-

ing a rare Ladino textbook published in

Salonika, Greece, in 1929. He even ound

a set o letters rom the 1930s written by

9-year-old Claire Barkey rom the Island o

Rhodes to her amily members in Seattle.

She was able to correspond her way

and her amilys way o the island o

Rhodes to evade Nazi persecution and to

nd saety in the U.S., Naar said. Te

entire story is preserved in the set o let-

ters. Its really an amazing story.

Te value o the objects should not be

underestimated, says Noam Pianko, chair

o the Stroum Jewish Studies Program.

Its the stories and the past o the Sep-

hardic Jewish community o Seattle, so

it has tremendous communal value, he

said. Tese documents are important on

a scholarly level as well. Tey tell an untold

and yet incredibly important story o the

Sephardic Jewish experience in America.

Many o the documents, he says, have

been buried in basements or closets and

breathe an authenticity that can never be

captured in academic works.

Jwish High: ral-worl

Jwish cationEMily K. alhadEff assoct edtor, JTNws

How do you make Jewish education

interesting and relevant to teenagers? Its

a question probably as old as the Jewish

people. And the organizers behind Jewish

High are taking a stab.

Were tremendously improving the

curriculum, especially the Jewish philos-

ophy or ethics curriculum, along with a

number o electives, said Rabbi Mark

Spiro, Jewish Highs principal. hey

should get a secure Jewish education, not

just talking heads.

J e w i s h H i g h

e me r ge s r om a

partnership ormed

in 2010 between

Hebrew High, a

n o n d e n o m i n a -

tional program o

the Jewish Federa-

tion o Greater Seat-

tle, and orah High,

an accredited pro-

gram out o oronto

adapted by Ari Ho-

man, the director o Seattles Orthodox

National Council o Synagogue Youth

chapter. Hebrew High closed its doors

afer 41 years this June, and in its place

have grown Jewish High and the Livnot

Project, a social justice curriculum.

At Jewish High JHigh or short

students attend two one-hour periods at

the Stroum Jewish Community Center on

Mercer Island. First, they choose an elec-

tive like conversational Hebrew, cook-

ing, Krav Maga, Israel advocacy, music, or

independent Jewish study then 9th and

10th graders head to Jewish values and

11th and 12th graders to Jewish ethics.

Jewish High also oers a junior high pro-

gram or 6th8th graders.

Spiro hopes the students will discuss

and debate and come to their own con-

clusions. Te Jewish values class covers

a spectrum o Jewish oundational con-

cepts such as God, orah, reward and pun-

ishment, and community; Jewish ethics

works through applying such concepts to

real-lie ethical dilemmas and situations.

So, how do you make Jewish educa-

tion interesting and

relevant to teenag-

ers? You pay them.

And give them school

credit . For every

riend students sign

up, they get $20, and

the student who signs

up the most riends

wins a trip to Israel.

But the real driving

orce behind Jewish

High is its accredita-

tion program, which

has expanded since the days o orah

High.

We are ully adapting the model that

has proven very successul in Canada,

said Homan, reerring to the original

orah High, where students earn school

credit or their supplementary school

classes. Homan is the dean o Jewish

High.

Homan is particularly excited about

a new program he and two partners, Josh

Russak and Greg Berretta, are implement-

ing called Business Ethics orah, or B.E..

Mak wa or Gnration Z

JaniS SiEgEl JTNws CorrspondntMove over Generations X and Y, the

Jewish Generation Z is making its Seat-

tle debut. Trough a new Jewish high

school program ocused on social justice,

there will be no classrooms in sight.

Gone is the Community High Schoolo Jewish Studies (Hebrew High) that was

centered in the Stroum Jewish Commu-

nity Center and where a cascade o Jewish

teachers and leaders imparted wisdom to

youth in chairs and desks or 41 years.

Beginning in October and during the

rst year, small groups o students in

the Livnot program will travel to jus-

tice organizations throughout Seattle,

say program creators. High schoolers will

engage with ood justice programs, envi-

ronmental agencies, and homelessness

prevention organizations. Tey will also

work in a peer-to-peer Muslim-Jewish

dialogue group.

Generation Z students, born rom

1994 to the present, are an exceptional

group o young adults who are much

more savvy than previous generations and

require a shif in how institutions connect

with them, Julie Hayon, Livnots educa-

tion director, told JNews via email. Tey

are digital nativeshave strong connec-

tions to a broad range o people, and they

tend to orm relationships with people,

not institutions.

Hayon, who last year moved to Seattle

with her amily rom exas, was recruited

or the education director position. She

has spent the bulk o her 15-year career

working in dierent acets o Jewish edu-

cation across the country, and has directed

programs ranging rom K8 to adult

learning.

Generation Z was also born into glo-

balization, Hayon said. Students are

aware o the larger world, they see them-

selves as part o something bigger, and

want to be part o global change and inno-vation. In addition, Generation Z is very

creative. Te Internet has allowed students

to explore art, music and language and

participation in these media.

Livnot students will get involved in

projects and get to see, rsthand, how and

why social service organizations operate.

Tey will also go on extended retreats

during the year as well as service-learning

trips that will reinorce the experiences

theyve been having in the commu-

nity organizations theyve been visiting

throughout the year. Once a month, the

entire student body will come together or

think tanks.

According to research used in mod-

eling the Livnot program, Irit Eliav, edu-cation director at Congregation Beth

Shalom, told JNews that Z-ers are polit-

ically aware, socially conscious, and tech-

nologically astute. Z-ers, she said, eel

more condent than ever that they can

make change and that they can persuade

their peers to ollow along.

Tis program is designed to capitalize

on these strengths and interests, while also

being rooted in Jewish tradition and learn-

ing, Eliav said. We held ocus groups

or teens, met with them one on one, and

asked them questions at youth group

meetings and events. Tey were very clear

that they wanted high-quality learning, a

chance to engage in tikkun olam [repair-

ing the world], and to have a chance to

participate in these experiences with their

riends. Tis program is designed to meet

all o these needs.

Te Jewish Federation o Greater Sea

tle gave Livnot a $35,000 grant in startu

unds. Other monies came rom priva

donors, and tuition will round out th

remainder o its operating budget. T

program, originally conceived o by staand clergy at Congregation Beth Shalom

and Herzl-Ner amid, was urther deve

oped by a board made up o clergy and la

members working over the last year.

Carol Starin, Livnot committee co

chair with Donna Peha, said she is look

ing orward to the pilot year o the projec

Im very excited, because it is bold, it

new, its pretty creative, and its scary, to

because I dont think our community ha

ever done anything like this, Starin said

Its not going to be ocused in just on

place and all o the learning is going to b

ocused on social justice issues. Tey ar

going to have choices.

Beginning October 7, students wi

gather at Jewish Family Service rom 5:3

to 8 p.m. or their rst think tank sessio

called Why Poverty Exists. Ken Wein

berg, CEO o Jewish Family Service, w

speak. Parents are welcome to attend th

session and dinner will also be available.

gone a 21st-century makeover with the

introduction o Live Online Learning

(L.O.L.), a new Seattle-based Jewish edu-

cation program that provides an inno-

vative way or students to study orahonline. L.O.L., a project o Congregation

Ezra Bessaroth in conjunction with orah-

utors, an international program that

conducts orah study through video con-

erencing, plans to educate local students

coming rom any Jewish background in a

live, hassle-ree video-chat ormat.

he ongoing and uture health o

our community depends on cultivating

an authentic and relevant Jewish iden-

tity, said Rabbi Ron-Ami Meyers, Ezra

Bessaroths rabbi, a teacher at the Seat-

tle Hebrew Acad-

emy, coounder and

director o orah-

utors, and leader o

the L.O.L. program.

Familiarity and even

uency in our clas-

sical sources goes

a long way in org-

ing such an identity.

My central goal [or

L.O.L.], which uels

much o what I have

done proessionally over the past two-and-

a-hal decades, is the dissemination and

clear articulation o orah knowledge.

L.O.L.s technology integrates video

camera, microphone, instant chat, and

desktop applications to allow teachers to

ully engage and communicate with their

students. Rabbi Meyers has been using

this platorm, developed by Cisco-Webex,

or over our years during his work with

orahutors and is condent the pro-

gram will be successul due to the learn-

ing opportunities accessible through the

video-conerencing system.

Te Webex desktop comes along with

annotating tools like highlighters, arrows

and other eatures that help students ocus

on the sources were studying, Meye

said. Students can oer ideas and a

questions via a privately directed chat

or share their ideas orally or by chat wit

the rest o the class. Whats unique abo

the L.O.L. learning style is that the teachviews him or hersel as a acilitator. F

rom giving a rontal class, the instru

tor introduces texts and solicits studen

response in interpreting the sources.

L.O.L. is primarily intended or Sea

tle children over 8 years old who are n

currently enrolled in a local Jewish d

school, explained Meyers, but will eventu

ally expand to oer adult and teen inte

est classes as well. Groups o any age w

soon be able to solicit particular topics

interest, and the L.O.L. team will work

ormulate a curric

lum tailored to the

requests.

L.O.L. will o

people rom all around the community to

create community, said Marave Herbst-

man. Its a beautiul piece o property near

the reservoir. Tis is also a space where

adults will have an opportunity to meet.

Te Chabad Hebrew School is a pro-

gram o Chabad o the Pacic Northwest.

he Chabad-Lubavitch movement hosts

the supplementary school program in cities

across the United States and internationally.

According to MMSCs director o busi-

ness and development ziviah Goldberg,

the schools implementation is a response

to requests or a Jewish educational pro-

gram by mostly unaliated amilies that are

not ready to send their kids to day school.

We had many people asking in the

community or some type o program that

would address mostly unaliated Jews,

that would be something that they could

take part in that wouldnt be a day school

program, said Goldberg. Te hope is to

catch those kids that are not quite ready

or day school, and give them a rich Jewish

experience.

Te target amily is composed o people

who are exploring Judaism, and not really

looking or a shul, Goldberg said, but rather

more looking or a community. Tey dont

necessarily eel that theyre going to nd that

through the synagogue experience.

Te teaching duo describes the lessons

on their website, www.seattlechs.com, asmulti-sensory and hands-on.

Avi Herbstman brings a condence-

and team-building educational method

called Project Adventure, which he has

been using or over two years, to the

Hebrew school. Its value, according the

website, is to promote sel-condence,

learn group dynamic skills, help with

physical coordination, and to learn social

skills.

Its a mode o learning that the chil-

dren will walk in or their whole lives, he

said. Project Adven-

ture is a team-build-

ing program that

enhances working

together, [teaches]

how to be a leader,

[and asks] How do

you deal with disap-

pointment? How do

you deal with lies

sudden blows?

Marave Herbst-

man, who is a certi-

ed Montessori educator, said she intends

to have a jam-packed un time planned

or the young ones when they come each

week.

I would start o with circle time

preparing them or what well be doing

next, she said, and then, maybe do arts

and crafs or baking or cooking some-

thing that would make it personal or the

kids who are coming.

Ten, have a snack and talk about

where ood comes rom and what bless-

ings go with the ood, she added. Well

be making our own, maybe a ruit salad or

smores, and they prepare it so that will be

exciting.

In addition to learning to read and

write Hebrew, students will also learn their

way around the siddur (prayer book), and

theyll study the orah portion associated

with each week and learn about Israel.

Using the Montessori materials that

she has been developing or years along

with her sta, Marave Herbstman said

children will experience mock holiday

meals leading up to Jewish holy days like

Rosh Hashanah and learn Shabbat rituals.

For now, the couple wants to limit

enrollment to about 15 children, keeping

the student-to-teacher ratio around seven-

to-one. As the program grows, they will

hire new teachers.

We look orward to building [our

school] through word o mouth, she said.

She hopes it will add to the strength o the

Seattle Jewish community. I denitely

think this is a beautiul piece to add to the

Northend. Its a link in our chain.

at lectue

The study of Jewish Art since the 1800s has been

dedicated to collecting, explaining, and preserving

art works without digging too deeply or attempting

to decipher the symbols behind them until re-

cently. Many questions are now being asked: Are these symbols recognizable?

What is the history behind them? Were these symbols always Jewish?This lecture is about the basics of Hebrew symbols and the Jewish people as art-

ists. Be part of this informative and thought-provoking lecture by Andrea Diaz, an

independent Jewish art historian who has worked in this field for five years.

At Hillel at the University of Washington, 4745 17th Ave. NE, Seattle. For more in-

formation, visit on.fb.me/ODDIjT or contact Andrea Diaz at ai.eos@hotmail.com.
