Mission complete: Clubs disbanding marks thepassing o a generationCharlene Kahn JTNw Corrpondnt

A once-vibrant part o Seattle Jewish history has drawn to a close.

Te Jewish Club o Washington, organized by Holocaust-era German

Jewish reugees over 70 years ago, held its nal meeting April 24 at Te

Summit at First Hill retirement community. At its high point, more than

400 members belonged to the immigrant-assistance and social organi-

zation. In recent years, numbers dropped to 25, according to club presi-

dent Walter Oppenheimer, a reugee himsel who arrived in Seattle with

his amily in 1940. Te clubs nal bulletin invited members to the last

meeting because, as it said, aer 72 years the club will cease to exist.

en members voted to give the [remaining] unds to three organi-

zations, Oppenheimer, 88, told JNews. Te recipient organization

are Jewish Family Services Polack Food Bank, the Kline Galland Cent

Foundation and the Washington State Holocaust Education Resour

Center.

Formed by German Jewish reugees and survivors o the Holocau

to aid one another, the Jewish Club o Washington served as an essen

tial network or these new immigrants, easing the adjustment o adap

ing to their new lives.

Wht does the end of the word ook ke?

Martin WesterMan JTNw ColumnitI the world as we knew

it were going to end, what

would you tell your loved

ones? Religious undamen-

talists might ind the End

o Days prospect comort-ing: Foretold in holy books,

it promises a better scenario

than earthbound toil and

woe. But i youre not part o

that zealous ew, you might

not want to sit this one out especially

since you can do something to slow, stop

or reverse the end.

Survival action is part o Jewish DNA.

he orah commands it: I have put

beore you lie and death, blessing and

curse thereore choose lie (Deut.

30:19) and, we assume, blessing. Jews

have survived or 3,500 years by standing

up to tyranny and injustice, and by escap-

ing rom them to ght another day.

So when everyone rom Al Gore and

Hunter Lovins to Leonardo DiCaprio and

Alicia Gravitz says we need to mobilize on

the scale o World War II to turn this tide,

we might expect to see most Jews at the

oreront. Basically, humanity aces a nexus

o dangers that threaten to end lie on Earth:

Exploding human population that con-

sumes natural resources aster than they

can be replaced.

Global climate changes due

to carbon and greenhouse

gases in the atmosphere and

decimation o the resources

the earth needs to absorb andprocess them.

Glacier melt that erases

world water supplies or

drinking and agriculture.

Ocean acidification

increasing carbonic acid and

decreasing pH as oceans over-

absorb carbon result in dissolv-

ing rees and killing sea lie.

Hydrogen sulde blooms as masses of

resh water enter the ocean rom melting

glaciers, ocean currents and oxygenation

stop, allowing hydrogen sulde-emitting

bacteria to grow, and move us toward

suocating mass extinction as has

occurred six times over the past 20 mil-

lion years.

Could things get worse? O course: As

environmental activists mobilize, vocal

minorities, politicians and think tanks

call these dangers hoaxes, or parts o

natural cycles that humans cant control.

Meanwhile, quiet American majorities do

little or nothing, claiming theyre too con-

used to act, or its inconvenient or bad

or business even though we possess

the technologies to arrest, or even reverse

these developing dangers worldwide.

Curiously, all ve dangers arise rom a

single cause: Emissions rom burning ossil

uels. Prior to initiating the coal-red Indus-trial Revolution, human population on

earth barely topped hal a billion. In 1700,

humans tallied 610 million; but by 1850,

theyd doubled to 1.2 billion thanks to

improvements in science, medicine and

sanitation. Adding industrialized pro-

duction o ood, water, clothing and shel-

ter made radical dierences in our health,

longevity and numbers. Also, until a ew

decades ago, seasons, animal migration pat-

terns and natural cycles repeated depend-

ably, almost like clockwork. oday, more

than 7 billion people inhabit this planet, and

most o us reuse to believe an end could be

coming. Its not that were optimistic. Its

just how we deal with bad news.

At physical trauma, our bodies go into

shock; at mental trauma its denial,

anger, bargaining, depression, and nally,

acceptance ve steps outlined by Eliz-

abeth Kubler Ross. Around environmen-

tal issues, we cant seem to break ree o

denial, anger and depression. Neuroscien-

tists have shown that the reality where

each o us lives is a mental construct

assembled rom what our brains can pe

ceive and understand through our v

senses. And we simply cant register wh

we dont understand. hus, journali

George Monbiot, in his essay Sleepwalk

ing to Extinction, argued that humanlive more in a dream world than in a wor

that reason would relect. o surviv

global crises would require draconia

regulation, rationing and prohibition:

the measures which our existing politic

inormed by our dreaming, orbid.

Gaia theorist James Lovelocks cat

strophic prediction o 6 billion human

dead by 2100 might be a gross exagger

tion. But our trajectory and lack o actio

are atally evident, and theyve prompted

host o observers to oer contrary, accep

ing perspectives.

So, are we going to tell our childre

and grandchildren that we mobilized, too

heroic actions and demanded them ro

our leaders? Or do we tell them nothin

because we joined the crowd looking o

ward to the end o toil and woe?

rabbi Zari Weiss Kol haNama

On January 4, 2012, I hadthe privilege o participat-

ing in an historic event at

the state capitol, when Gov-

ernor Christine Gregoire

announced she would intro-

duce legislation to ensure

marriage equality or all

people in Washington State.

It was exciting and moving

to be present that day, sur-

rounded by legislators and other commu-

nity leaders and activists who had worked

hard or years on this issue.

Standing at the podium, Gov. Gregoire

shared her internal struggle, as she had

tried to reconcile what her aith tradition

taught with her own belies about what

was right and just. She said she had called

her priest that morning to tell him o her

decision. As she spoke to us and the press,

her words were rm and unequivocal: Te

time had come, she said, or the state to

stop discriminating against one group o

people by denying them the rights that

other citizens enjoyed. During that legisla-

tive session, she said, she would back leg-

islation guaranteeing marriage equality,

and she was condent the proposed legis-

lation would pass.

As we all know, she was absolutely

right. From that moment on, everything

unolded very rapidly. First the Senate

and then the House passed the legislation,

and then Gov. Gregoire signed the bill

into law (Senate Bill 6239) on February

13, 2012, making Washington the seventh

state in the country to grant those who are

LGBQ the right to marry.

Opponents o marriage equality

quickly went to work. Tey led their

intention with the Secretary o States

oce to put a reerendum on the ballot,

which has been designated as Reeren-

dum 74. I the opponents gather a su-

cient number o signatures (more than

120,000), it will be placed on the Novem-

ber ballot, to be voted upon by the public.

At that point, Re. 74 must be approved by

the public by 50 percent plus 1; otherwise,

the marriage-equality law will be repealed.

Failure to approve by 50 percent plus 1

essentially vetoes what the legislature and

the governor already approved.

As Jews, we are guided by a number o

core values in determining how we treat

others and the world around us. First and

oremost is the concept o tzelem elohim,

the belie that every human being is cre-

ated in the image o God, as it states in the

Book o Genesis 1:2: And God created

the human being in Gods image in the

image o God did God create the human;

male and emale God createdthem.

Underlying this principle

is the belie that all people,

regardless o their race, reli-

gion, nationality, age, gender,

sexual orientation, ability,

or any other distinguish-

ing characteristic, have an

inherent right to dignity, or

kavod. I believe that such dig-

nity includes the right to love whom one

chooses to love, and to sanctiy that love in

a way and manner that refects ones own

deepest religious belies and practices. No

person, institution, or government has the

right to deny another person that dignity.

Another value that guides us as Jews is

the concept o adam yachid. According to

the sacred text o our people, the orah,

one human being Adam was created

originally so no one can say, My parent

[ather] was greater than your parent. (M.

Sanhedrin 4:5). In other words, all people

are equal, and deserve to be treated equally.

But Judaism should not determine our

civil law, just as it should not be deter-

mined by Christianity, Islam, Buddhism,

or any other religious tradition, or us or

or others. Tereore, as Americans, we

must insist that our civil laws be guided

not by any one religious tradition or inter-

pretation, but by the ounding principles

o this country, which declare: We hold

these truths to be sel-evident, that all

men [people] are created equal, that they

are endowed by their Creator with cer-

tain unalienable Rights, that among these

are Lie, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happi-

ness. (Te Declaration o Independence,

July 4, 1776. Italics mine). And, Congress

shall make no law respecting an establish-

ment o religion, or prohibiting the ree

exercise thereo. (Amendment 1, Bill o

Rights, ratied December 15, 1791).

Under the U.S. Constitution, the state

may not require religious groups to o-

ciate at, or bless, same-sex marriages. A

clergy person may reuse, thereore, to

marry an interaith couple without any

ear o liability. At the same time, how-

ever, it is not the states unction or role

to sanction one set o religious belies or

practices over another. For the state to

prevent the legal recognition o marriages

o same-sex couples because some aith

traditions object is to violate the religious

liberty provisions o the Constitution.

Back to Judaism. As Jews we know

that, in addition to the above concepts/

values, we are also guided by the mitzvah,

the sacred obligation, o tzedek, tzedek,

tirdo Justice, justice, you shall

pursue. (Deut. 16:20). Pursuing justice

means ending discriminatory practices

that have been unairly directed against

any one person or any group.

Gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgen-

der people are citizens o this country

and citizens o this state; they require the

same rights as all other citizens. It is part

o our sacred obligation as Jews to redress

the injustice perpetrated against this one

group or too long. Justice, justice, we will

pursue, until all people, (whether coupled

or single, gay or straight), are treated with

dignity, kavod, and with an equal applica-

tion o the law with all o the rights an

responsibilities thereo.

I urge all those who share my view

join me in speaking out in support o th

recently passed marriage-equality law

ogether we can ensure that same-se

couples can legally marry, while clergy an

aith traditions can decide or themselv

whether they will recognize and solemniz

these legal marriages. As or this rabbi

look orward to being able to sign leg

marriage licenses or same-sex couples

the near uture. I know my congregatio

enthusiastically supports my decision.

In IsRAELs InTEREsTs

In his letter (Difcult decisions, April 25), David Shayne misrepresents my views and

my comments during my recent visit to Seattle. The subject of my talk was not the Israeli-

Palestinian diplomatic stalemate, and I did not assert that Israeli settlements and Benjamin

Netanyahus intransigence are solely responsible for that stalemate. Rather, I described the

danger that the settlement effort poses to Israels own democracy and cohesion as a state.

A two-state agreement, I argued, is in Israels interests. Obviously, reaching an agree-ment also depends on the Palestinian side. But Im hardly alone in the assessment that the

Netanyahu government is uninterested in reaching an accord. The former head of Israels

Shin Bet security service, Yuval Diskin, recently expressed the same evaluation, based on

his own experience working with Netanyahu.

Contrary to what Shayne writes, I do not dismiss Hamass attitudes toward Israel. How-

ever, his argument that Israel cannot pursue peace as long as Hamas has an inuence in Pal-

estinian politics grants that organization a permanent veto over compromise. Israel cannot

dictate internal Palestinian politics. But it does have the potential to reduce Hamass inu-

ence and increase that of moderate Palestinians by showing that it is committed to a two-

state outcome. On the other hand, to postpone peace efforts grants a victory to extremism.

TIME FOR DIALOGuE

Thank you for your coverage of author Gershom Gorenberg, who spoke about pre-

serving Israels democracy on April 17 to a packed house at Temple De Hirsch Sinai in

Seattle. I would like to add a few comments to the JTNews story about Gorenbergs visit.

First of all, I was deeply touched that so much support from local congregations was

visible at the event. Though primarily sponsored by J Street Seattle and Temple De Hirsch

Sinai, additional co-sponsorship was provided by Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Con-

gregation and Temple Bnai Torah. Additional support was given by Congregation Beth

Shalom and Temple Beth Am. I commend the rabbis, staff and members of each of these

communities for their participation.

Second, I was delighted to nd that the audience included a diverse representation of

the political and denominational landscape. Why? Because Gorenberg asks us to challenge

stereotypes and reject the either/or argument of Israel can do no wrong versus Israel

can do no right that is simplistic, divisive, and only serves to promote a knee-jerk reaction

to bury ones Jewish head in the sand to avoid conict about something so complicated

and so political. I thought the nal remark of the JTNews article was right on the mark:

Instead he (Gorenberg) encourages people to learn to understand complexity and

challenge themselves with cognitive dissonance.

For me, it is only through cognitive dissonance (e.g., the simultaneous truth of I love

Israel and I dont think Israel is living up to ethics of my Judaic foundation) that I can

begin to unbury my head and engage in sane dialogue on the subject of Israels occupa-

tion of Palestine. Dialogue is not debate. Dialogue is engaging and empowering. It offers

us a safe environment in which we can stop, listen, engage, reect, and connect.

J Street provides me, as an American Jew, a way to engage nuance in a forward-think-

ing manner. For me, pro-Israel dialogue is that which is focused on a viable future for

both Israelis and Palestinians. Protection of Israels security and preservation of Israels

democracy are not mutually exclusive ends. Its denitely time for more dialogue!

Immigrants are not very easily

accepted in this country, said Joshua

Gortler, president o the Kline Galland

Center Foundation and retired CEO o the

Kline Galland Center, who arrived in the

U.S. ollowing World War II not knowing

a word o English. Tey needed connec-

tion to each other. Te club served a great

purpose in integrating them, in connect-

ing them to new ways [o lie].

Club members Klaus and Paula Stern

considered the club an organization o

newcomers. Some came rom Germany,

Austria, Czechoslovakia, said Klaus

Stern, one o the Jewish Clubs co-ound-

ers, and some people who had to rst go

to South America to save their lives, but

then ended up in Seattle. We had nice pro-

grams and helped each other out or jobs

and apartments.

Frieda and Gunther Sondland were

German reugees who escaped through

passage to South America. Tey eventually

arrived in Seattle rom Uruguay in 1943.

It elt wonderul to be [at the Jewish

Club] with people where we had some-

thing in common, something amiliar, a

similar background and culture. We spoke

the same language, Frieda Sondland said.

Now there are no more members le.

What can I say?

Over the years, the Jewish Club pro-

vided its members with a broad menu o

social activities, educational programs and

outings.

We loved classical music programs,

the Salvation Army Fashion Show, we did

book reviews, Purim parties, dances, pic-

nics, recalled Klaus Stern.

We organized trips to Deception Pass,

Lake Sammamish and Discovery Park,

added Paula Stern, who organized pro-

grams or the group. We were happy to

be alive; at the time, we were the younger

generation.

And membership ees? Small monthly

dues were 75 cents with a collection or

death benet i someone died, or the

amily, Paula Stern said.

Marion Kitz, the Jewish Club o Wash-

ingtons secretary/treasurer or the last six

years and the Sterns daughter grew

up with the JCW orever. It was part o

my lie and important to my parents. Tey

gave it their all, she said.

Te club met at dierent locations

on Sunday aernoons. We used the old

Herzl [on 20th and Spruce Place], Neigh-

borhood House on 17th and Yesler, the

almud orah, the Workmans Circle and

the Jewish Federation, which was down-

town on Union, Klaus Stern said.

Oppenheimer recalls Rabbi Koch at

emple De Hirsch letting us use the

social hall.

Te Sterns arrived in Seattle in 1946. A

survivor o several concentration camps,

Klaus Stern later became a board member

o the Washington State Holocaust Edu-

cation Resource Center and is an active

member o its speakers bureau.

Dee Simon, executive director o the

Holocaust Center, said many ormer club

members later became supporters o her

organization.

he Washington State Holocaust

Education Resource Center is honorin

the Jewish Club o Washington by ded

cating an artiact case in memory o th

clubs outstanding service to the Jewis

community and to the many individ

als who came to call Seattle their home

she said.

Te Kline Galland Center also built

close relationship with the club.

Te relationship between the Jewi

Club and Kline Galland goes back 30-pl

years, noted Gortler, who knows many

the now-deunct clubs members.

Te club was a vibrant, active group

people. [But] their membership dwindle

and [the] needs changed. Tis is what hap

pens. Its the end o a generation, Gortl

said. hey did good work, they we

Jdsm n the home, pe y pe

Joel MagalniCKeditor, JTNwTe idea is that i you send it, they will

come. Whats being sent, about 1,500 chil-

drens books to local Jewish amilies, has

been an unqualied success, according

to Rosalie Eisen, director o communitydevelopment or PJ Library, a program

o the Massachusetts-based Harold Grin-

spoon Foundation.

Seattle has reached an incredible mile-

stone, particularly or a West Coast com-

munity with all the unique challenges o

West Coast communities, Eisen said. Its

reaching the highest percentage o eligible

Jewish children o all the 176 PJ Library

communities across the country.

Local PJ Library programs send out

ree books to Jewish amilies with children

between the ages o 6 months and 5-1/2

years old, though some communities run

the program until the age o 8. Te idea is

that the books will spur member amilies

to greater involvement in their communi-

ties. Te Seattle program has been running

or three years, with a total o 1,900 chil-

dren having been recipients o the books.

o mark the achievement, Eisen visited

Seattle on May 3 to recognize the Jewish

Federation o Greater Seattle, which

administers the program locally.

Since its inception in Seattle in 2009,

the Grinspoon Foundation has contrib-

uted $166,000, with the rest o the und-

ing coming rom the Federation and other

local organizations and donors to cover

the cost o the books, plus a sta person

to administer the program. Eisen said that

with the establishment o an endowment

or the program, the oundation wouldcontinue to support the program into the

oreseeable uture, book or book.

With the books sent every month, are

the people coming? Te answer depends

upon how such a claim is measured. It

would be dicult to suggest that a amily

joined a synagogue, or example, based

upon whether the children were excited

about receiving their book in the mail.

But Eisen pointed to a national study con-

ducted by the Jewish Education Service

o North America o PJ Library members

that showed 90 percent o respondents

saying the books had inspired conversa-

tions about Judaism, and about a third

saying the books had infuenced amilies

decision to observe Shabbat or Jewish hol-

idays.

Measuring PJ Library events, however,

is much easier. According to Amy Hilz-

man-Paquette, who runs the Seattle pro-

gram, they are wildly successul,.

Right now were doing weekly story

times, sometimes twice a week, Hilzman-

Paquette said. We have our music, we

have our story, we have arts and cras that

really bring back the values o the story.

At a weekly event at the Mockingbird

Books in Seattles Greenlake neighbor-

hood, Hilzman-Paquette said as many as

60 children and their caregivers attend.

Te outgrowth rom that is an oppor-

tunity or the parents to start talking toeach other, which is really the key, she

said. O course we want to be sure theyre

connecting with the books, but i they can

make a new riend and be connected in a

new way, then were really doing our job.

While PJ Library sends about 70,000

books each month across the U.S., it gives

out 120,000 Hebrew-language books, in

conjunction with the Ministry o Edu-

cation, to Israeli children in the public

schools. Tat number is expected to rise

to 180,000 this year. Tat project, called

Siriyat Pijama, made its way to the U.S.

because there was a lot o concern in this

country about second- and third-genera-

tion Israelis becoming totally assimilated,

Eisen said.

A new program announced this week

will bring these illustrated Hebrew-lan-

guage books to kids ages 36 to several day

schools across the country, including the

Seattle Jewish Community School.

Part o their initiative is to connect

Israeli and secular Hebrew speakers to

options in the Jewish community, spe-

cically Jewish day schools, said Debo-

rah Frockt, director o admissions and

advancement at SJCS.

Tis program is intended or amili

with at least one Hebrew speaker in th

home, but i somebody wants a Hebre

book and can use it in their amily, the

yeah, they can sign up, Frockt said.

Siriya Pijama BAmerica, unded b

the Los Angeles-based Adam and Gi

Milstein Family Foundation, will ha

signups exclusively at three events in M

and June at the school.

Folks have to come to an event at th

school in order to qualiy to receive th

books, Frockt said.

wo o the events will be in conjun

tion with the standing monthly PJ Libra

program but with stories and music

both Hebrew and English. A third, o

May 20, with stories, music, and cater

Israeli ood, will be done almost entire

in Hebrew. Kids are encouraged to com

in their PJs.

Join QFC and Komen in the battle to end breast cancer

In July o this year Susan G. Komen or the Cure will celebrate the 30th anniversaryo its ounding as a non-prot organization dedicated to saving lives and ending breastcancer orever. QFC is proud to again be the presenting sponsor o the Seattle Susan G.Komen Race or the Cure being held on Sunday, June 3rd, at the Seattle Center.

Komen or the Cure has in some way touched every major breast cancer breakthroughin the last 29 years and has been associated with three Nobel Prize winners. Tanks to themany volunteers, sponsors and participants, the Komen organization has been able toraise and invest over $1.9 billion or breast cancer research, treatment and education. Ithas afliate organizations in over 120 U.S. communities and relationships in 50 countriesaround the world.

O the money that Komen raises at its events, 75% stays in the local community orbreast health education, breast cancer screening and treatment and other direct help.In 2011, Komen invested $93 million in local community programs, which provided or700,000 breast health screenings and diagnostic procedures.

Te remaining 25% o unds raised support breast cancer research. Currently, Komenmanages nearly 760 active research grants totaling $300 million. Tose grants provideunds or research in: n Early detection, diagnosis, prognosis

n Biologyn reatmentn Preventionn Etiologyn Cancer control, survivorship, outcomesn Scientic model outcomes

Worldwide, breast cancer is the most requently diagnosed cancer and the leadingcause o cancer death among women. More than 1.6 million are diagnosed each year.One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed in her lietime and breast cancer is theleading cause o cancer death among U.S. women 4059. Te work that Komen is doing toeradicate breast cancer is making a tremendous impact.

In 2007, economists estimated that Komen unded research and programs saved 4,500American lives. Between 1989 and 1999 the percentage o woman aged 40 and abovegetting annual mammograms rose rom 54% to 71%. Tere are currently more than 2.5million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. Susan G. Komen or the Cure has played a hugerole in raising awareness and supporting research, treatment and education.

I you would like to join QFC in supporting the valuable work o Susan G. Komen orthe Cure there are several ways you can do so. One way would be to join us at the Raceor the Cure on June 3rd. Every QFC store has been asked to create a store team. You donthave to be a QFC associate to be on your avorite store team. We welcome amily, riendsand our great customers to join our teams.

Tryn to trnscend wr nd pece

Janis siegel JTNw CorrpondntAt the age o 35, Gil Homan is one

o the top journalists in Israel. But the

chie political correspondent and analyst

or the Jerusalem Post is not your average

seasoned Mideast political commentator.

Raised in Chicago by Israeli parents, he isalso as American as the Chicago Bears and

Mannys Coee Shop and Deli.

Homan, a Post correspondent since

1999, also travels abroad and in the U.S.

or weeks at a time in his dual role as a lec-

turer, speaking at places that vary rom

Orthodox synagogues and Jewish Fed-

erations to university settings, including

the University o Caliornia at Irvine. Stu-

dents who consider themselves pro-Israel

have long complained about intimidation

at that campus, and in 2010, 10 students

were arrested aer disrupting a talk by

Michael Oren, Israels ambassador to the

United States.

Joking he was made in America with

all Israeli parts, Homan told JNews

during a late-April visit to Seattle, just

prior to a talk at Congregation Bikur

Cholim Machzikay Hadath where he

served as scholar-in-residence, that he

grew up in a house where Israel was our

religion.

BCMH and AIPAC Seattle sponsored

his visit.

As a reserve soldier in the Spokesmans

Unit o the Israeli Deense Forces, Ho-

man is at ease answering questions on

the most pressing topics today on world

aairs and the Middle East.

He oered his candid observations on

President Obamas changing popularity inIsrael, including the outcome o Egyptian

elections, behind-the-scenes negotiations

with Iran, prognostications on the politi-

cal mood in Israel going orward, and U.S.

Jews and Israeli Jews.

Israel is the one issue that unites Dem-

ocrats and Republicans today, Homan

said. Israelis dont dierentiate between

a Democrat and a Republican president.

Tey just want a pro-Israel president.

And it is that relationship, between

Israelis and Obama, that according to

Homan, has fipped, fopped and nally

neutralized.

Seven public opinion polls were con-

ducted by the Jerusalem Post in Israel

between 2009 and 2012 with 600 Jewish

Israelis over the age o 18, asking them the

same question each time is the Obama

administration more pro-Israel, more

pro-Palestinian, or neutral?

In May 2009, 31 percent o respon-

dents said Obama was more pro-Israel, 14

percent said he was more pro-Palestinian.

During the campaign, he did more to

reach out to Israel than any other pres-

ident during the campaign, Ho-

man said, pulling out a Jerusalem Post

cover page rom that time calling Obama

a mavrik, meaning shiny, brilliant, and

cool, he explained.

Israel started to see the magic that

Americans were starting to see, he said.

However, ollowing Obamas inamous

June 4, 2009 Cairo speech and less-than-

riendly meetings in Washington between

Obama and Prime Minister Benjam

Netanyahu, 50 percent believed him to b

more pro-Palestinian, while the pro-Isra

respondents dropped rom 31 percent

6 percent.

Obama supporters saw this and gworried about mainstream Israel, Ho

man said.

Further alienating a political cros

section o Israelis in July 2010, by equi

ocating on two issues that unite the

Jerusalem and reugees, he said, Isra

lis elt insulted.

Te poll taken at that time, in July 201

ound that only 10 percent o Israelis e

the Obama administration was more pr

Israel, and a ull 46 percent considered

to be more pro-Palestinian.

In the latest 2012 poll, Israelis we

evenly split over the intentions o th

American president, with 24 perce

believing he is more pro-Israel and th

same believing he was more pro-Pale

tinian. In the same poll, 36 percent sa

Obama was more neutral.

On the subject o a nuclear Iran, Ho

man corroborated what most Israeli o

cials tell the U.S press: Tat Israel will n

allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons b

will not rush into the military option.

The too-often overooked contrtons of isre scentsts

Janis siegel JTNw ColumnitWhile Israel celebrates the

100-year anniversary o the

ounding o the echnion-

Israel Institute o echnol-

ogy, Israeli innovations all

too oen seem to all underthe radar o most o the gen-

eral public today. Te coun-

trys contributions include

medical research, new tech-

nologies, advances in bio-

technology, nanotechnology, computer

science, energy, water-resource manage-

ment, drug development, and aerospace.

Perhaps its just a low-key approach to

publicity coupled with a general adher-

ence to humility and reluctance toward

sel-promotion, but in 2010, the Israeli

Academy o Sciences, Israeli government

oicials, and American Jewish organi-

zations raised objections over what they

claim are glaring omissions o Israeli

awards in the 2010 United Nations Edu-

cation and Science Organization Science

Report, a 500-page global compendium o

scientic accomplishments between 2005

and 2010.

Te report not only omitted an Israel

country prole, but Israel was also missing

rom the list o comprehensive regional

descriptions.

Te academy cited the most notable

absence o any mention o

several Nobel Prize-winning

researchers rom the main

body o the UNESCO report,

which ailed to include any

mention o the 2009 Weiz-mann Institute o Science

Nobel Prize winner in Chem-

istry, Pro. Ada Yonath,

even though UNESCO gave

Yonath the LOral-UNESCO

Award or Women in Science

the year beore.

Yonath shared the prize

with two others or her work on ribosome

structure, relentlessly observing how cells

build proteins. Her work paves the way or

urther research toward developing bacte-

ria-resistant antibiotics.

UNESCO not only declined to make

these updates despite repeated requests

rom Israel, but it also declined to update

the report with the addition o echnion-

Israel Institute o echnology Pro. Dan

Shechtmans 2011 Nobel Prize in Chem-

istry, awarded or his discovery o quasi-

crystals, a bonding action within the

atoms o rigid crystals that results in the

creation o ultra-strong materials or use

in new technologies.

UNESCO denied willully omitting the

inormation. However, skeptical Israeli

ocials have pressured the organization

or more than a year to remedy the over-

sight.

Gretchen Kalonji, assistant director

general or Natural Sciences at UNESCO,

told the imes o Israel that she had noknowledge o how this happened and that

those responsible are now gone.

he report has changed in ormat

over the years, and previous versions had

Israel prominently eatured, Kalonji said.

But the omission was denitely not polit-

ically motivated. We have had good ties

with Israeli scientists or many years, and

we intend to post the chapter on Israeli

achievements in the 2005-2010 report.

he UNESCO report remains

unchanged as o this articles publica-

tion, despite more than a year o requests

rom Israeli ocials and promises rom

UNESCO that they would do so.

Most recently, in March 2012,

UNESCO named Weizmann Institute o

Science biologist Dr. Naama Geva-Zator-

sky Europes top young researcher o the

year or her work using probiotics in treat-

ing disease. Geva-Zatorsky is also one o

15 winners o the LOreal-UNESCO Fel-

lowships or Outstanding Women Scien-

tists. She, too, has not been added to the

report.

So, as the echnion celebrates a cen-

tury o discoveries since the laying o its

rst cornerstone in 1912, its time to beat

the drum and spread the word about this

world-class institution and others that are

leaders in the development o so many

revolutions in science and technology.

Israel is the home o 10 Nobel Prize

winners:

e rst Israeli Nobel Peace Prize reci

ient was Shmuel Yose Agnon, who wo

or Literature in 1966.

Menachem Begin, Shimon Peres an

Yitzhak Rabin all won the Nobel Pea

Prize, Begin in 1978 and Peres and Rabin 1994, with then-PLO President Yass

Araat.

Of the seven other Nobel Prizes awarde

since 1994, three o the our Nobels earne

in Chemistry have been awarded to ech

nion researchers, including the mo

recent Schectman award.

In 2002, Prof. Daniel Kahneman wo

the Nobel Prize in Economics or his int

gration o psychological research into th

study o economics.

In 2004, Technion professors Aaro

Ciechanover and Avram Hershko wo

Nobel Prizes in Chemistry or their 197

discovery o the ubiquitin system. Ubi

uitins are a kind o protector prote

that can end o the development o se

eral diseases within cells such as cance

Alzheimers or Parkinsons disease, mu

cular dystrophy, and viral diseases.

In 2005, Israeli mathematician Yisra

Robert Aumann won the Nobel Prize

Economics or his work on game theor

confict, and cooperation.

So, when the new echnion Co

nell Institute o Innovation opens in th

heart o New York City next all, it may b

impossible to overlook the obvious.

Enthsstc ot themmrnt experence

Diana breMent JTNw ColumnitWhen I asked Hilary Stern how she

was inspired to work or Casa Latina,

the immigrant aid organiza-

tion, she oered the Jewishanswer, explaining, my

grandparents were immi-

grants andi they hadnt

made that decision, my lie

would have been completely

dierent. Ive really benet-

ted rom their struggle and

their decision to come to the

United States, giving my

parents and me much better opportuni-

ties.

She always related to her grandparents

hard work, Hilary says, and heeded her

grandmothers advice to get an education.

Tey cant take that away rom you,

she says, quoting her grandmothers

advice.

With a Masters degree in teaching

English as a Second Language, Hilary lived

in the other Washington in the 1980s,

teaching Central American immigrants,

and was inspired by their struggles, she

says, and also inspired by Nicaraguas

Sandinista revolution, which in its early

days encouraged and created education

or all. She went there to teach during the

idealism o the rst 10 years aer the

revolution.

Aer a ew years she returned to Seat-

tle with her oldest daughter I decided I

needed my mother, she says and con-

tinued her work here.

While running adult education pro-

grams at the YMCA, she met a new wave

o immigrants who were really very lost

here, she says. As mostly single adults

looking or work and without commu-

nity support, many became homeless.

Hilary and some riends decided to start

the support organization that became

Casa Latina, where Hilary has

served as executive directoror 17 years.

Te organization contin-

ues with its initial goal o

serving day laborers, a huge

ocus, she says, but they now

serve amilies and women

who are domestic workers.

Casa Latina educates and

empowers these workers so

they can control working con-

ditions, saety and pay.

We give them basic per-

sonal protective equipment, too, Hilary

says, and they hold English classes so cli-

ents can better communicate with employ-

ers.

Casa Latina markets its services pri-

marily to homeowners, many o whom are

Jewish. Right beore Pesach is one o the

most busy times, Hilary says, adding that

the organization is supported by numer-

ous Jewish volunteers and donors.

She urther notes Casa Latinas increas-

ing role in providing in-home help or

the elderly and its role in the care crisis

coming down the pike as the popula-

tion ages, she says. Its clients provide

an interesting intersection between [an]

older, aging, mainly white population and

a younger immigrant population.

he organization diers rom most

social service agencies as it is very

accountable to the workers and unctions

more like a union. Workers meet weekly

to talk about a whole variety o issues,

Hilary says, including transportation, pol-

itics, and the organization itsel.

For instance, she told me when

we spoke earlier this month, this week

theyre preparing to meet with the mayor.

While more involved with undraising

than direct service, Hilary gives updates at

the meetings, particularly about the con-

struction o the organizations new building

at 17th and Jackson in Seattle. She goes to

Olympia to testiy beore the state legislature

and travels around the country to Domestic

Workers Alliance conerences and others.

Hilary grew up in Seattle and attended

Nathan Hale High School when there were

ew Jews there. Both her grandmother and

her mother went to Gareld and her son

will graduate rom Roosevelt this June.

Hilarys parents, the Sidels, were ound-

ers o Congregation Beth Shalom and in

1973 Hilary was the rst girl to become a

Bat Mitzvah there on a Saturday. She is still

a member there. (Bnot Mitzvah were on

Fridays or the rst years o the congrega-

tions existence.)

My job is really un and I spend most

o my time at work, Hilary notes, adding

that she loves to spend time with her kids,

but Im going to be an empty nester soon,

so Ive got to get a lie.

Injustice simply means lack ojustice. Oten it is carried out by takingrights away rom people. The Holocaustis not the only instance o injustice. It has

happened throughout history. Examplesinclude events like South Arican Apartheid(1948-1994), Indian Removal Act (1830),Japanese internment (1942-1944) andsegregation o non-whites in America(1900slate 1960s), to name a ew. Injusticecan be caused by several social actors likejealousy, paranoia and anger. One thingsociety can do to combat injustice is haveequality, justice and racial tolerance taughin schools, so that uture generations areless prone to repeat the same mistakes.

There is a reason we all have hada chance to step into Elie Wiesels shoes.It is not just to gain more knowledge othe Holocaust, but to gain knowledgeand awareness that we can step up andno longer be bystanders as we watch

another person or ourselves be hurt andpersecuted by someone else. Having readhis story gives me the choice to not bethe same person I was beore, obliviousto others around me; instead I can be aJuliek. Someone who is secure in myseland will not give up who I am or anyone.Not taking that orward step is just as badas being a perpetrator. I have witnessedhatred and to not do something wouldput me in denial. I was given a voice ora reason, and it is my obligation to testiyand share what I have learned rom ElieWiesels testimony, so another personis able to fnd the light at the end o thetunnel, just as I have.

I will never know.But when she stuck up her

Lara and Inam were best riends and

possibly even more while growing up

as teenagers in the Palestinian territo-

ries. Teir lives are orever changed by

a chance meeting with two Israeli sol-

diers when they sneak across the border

into Israel one night aer curew to go to

a movie. Te lm leads o 15 years later,

when they are both living in London, as

Inam drops over unexpectedly and appar-

ently somewhat unwelcome to visit Lara

on her birthday. Part coming o age and

part psychodrama, the story plays itsel

out through fashbacks in time to nally

reveal the ull story at the conclusion.

his unique motion picture crosses

many boundaries while it takes the audi-

ence deeply into the lives o the charac-

ters. Writer/director Jonathan Sagall has

created a lm that will keep the audience

guessing and anticipating throughout as

to what really transpired in the womens

mutual past together and how it eects

their present relationship.

Te production values are strong, yet

it is the excellent perormances by vet-

eran actresses Clara Khoury (Lara) and

Nataly Attiya (Inam) who portray their

conlicted intertwined characters with

amazing realism. When the lm reaches

its conclusion, the nal plot twist is com-

pletely unexpected, yet it resolves all the

questions le in the minds o the audience.

No loose threads remain, which seems

entirely plausible and consistent. Tis is

a worthwhile SIFF lm to catch this year

and a demonstration o the current state

o Israeli lmmaking.

K a m e l i s a

20-something Bed-

ouin who served

in the Israeli army

and lives with his

brother and sis-

ter-in-law in an

e ncam pm e nt o

sheet metal crate-

like structures on

his amilys ances-

tral land. He works

as a security guard

at the nearby bus

terminal, repairs

video equipment in

his spare time, and seems to have earned

the scorn o his brother, who dislikes

Kamels lie choices.

Te lm begins with the discovery o

an eviction notice on their home. Tey

must then deal with a hostile bureaucracy

to nd out why and what their options

are. Tis interesting lm provides a realis-

tic character prole o Kamel as we watch

him live out his lie with the amily strie

and the impending eviction. As the screws

tighten, he hatches a plan to save their

home by setting up a scenario to make

himsel a hero at his job, which he believes

will bring media attention to their plight.

When the authorities arrive to evict

the amily, we catch a glimpse o Kamels

values and his deep attachment to what

appears to be the one successul time in

his lie when he served as a soldier in

the army. Tis lm is a tribute to the dig-

nity and resilience o humans to deal with

tragedies we oen ace and our ability to

keep going even against all odds as well

as the struggle to nd ones own identity.

Tis SIFF entry is something worthwhile

to watch.
