approach o an Israeli doctor

and his team in the treat-

ment o schizophrenia might

simply be summed up as the

earlier, the better.reating schizophrenia in

young people beore they have

their rst episode is a contro-

versia l method, but during

the last decade, ongoing stud-

ies by Dr. Uriel Heresco-Levy

show that an intervention tar-

geted to glutamates, one o

two major neurotransmitters in the brain,

wont prevent the occurrence o the disease,

but may improve a patients outcome over

a lietime. Neurotransmitters allow brain

cells to communicate with each other.

Heresco-Levy is the director o the

Schizophrenia Research Program and

the Department o Psychiatry at Herzog

Memorial Hospital, an asso-

ciate proessor at Hadassah

Medical School, and a leader in

this prevention work. He was

part o a 2012 study on this

research recently published inSchizophrenia Bulletin.

One aspect o this

increased emphasis is to high-

light the potential damage asso-

ciated with delays in treatment

o early phases o psychotic ill-

ness, wrote Heresco-Levy.

Recent data indicate that the

duration o untreated psychosis in schizo-

phrenias rst episodes consistently predicts

outcome independently o other variables.

Tere is a growing body o evidence sug-

gesting that changes in the neurotransmit-

ter system, possibly caused by deects in the

early development o the neurotransmitter

processes, may be a root cause or the onset

o this disease. Te glutamate system, which

may be altered in schizophrenia, could be

unctioning below optimum levels.

Tis type o neurotransmitter therapy

is not the only approach researchers are

taking in the quest to manage this disease,or which there is no cure. Drug therapies,

however, have several negative side eects.

Teir use implies patient exposure to

a variety o side eects, including motor,

Parkinsons disease-like symptoms, and

metabolic side eects, e.g. obesity, blood

sugar level elevation that characterize sec-

ond-generation antipsychotic drugs, said

Heresco-Levy.

During the last decade, our group has

contributed extensively to the develop-

ment and establishment o a novel class o

medications to be used in psychotic dis-

orders such as schizophrenia, and in ill-

nesses such as autism, Post-raumatic

Stress Disorder, and Parkinsons disease,

he added.

Tese medications typically contain

glycine, D-serine, and sarcosine, natural

amino acids present in the human body

that have the advantage o being prac-

tically devoid o signicant side eects,

Heresco-Levy said. By now, studies per-

ormed by our and other research groups

have demonstrated that these compounds

have the capacity to signicantly alleviate

negative symptoms and cognitive deci

in schizophrenia subjects.

Scientists in the eld believe that sev

eral genes may contribute to the risk

developing the disease. Additionally, th

suspect that those with schizophrenhave a greater occurrence o rare genet

mutations and that these mutations, wi

hundreds o dierent genes, may disrup

brain development.

At an early age, typically between 1

and 30, according to the National Institu

o Mental Health, an individual at risk

schizophrenia will maniest his or her r

ully blown episode o the disease. Schiz

phrenia is a broad term or a disease th

includes many kinds o symptoms such

psychotic hallucinations and delusions,

more subtle ones, such as impairments

cognition, learning, socializing, apathy, an

a general blunted aect, which can al

This was the kind of book that was parve. You could learn your science and still appreciate being a Jew.

Stroum lecturer Professor David Ruderman, on the best-selling book Sefer HaBrit. See the story on page 6.

tHE rabbIS turn

awknn dmnt

Rabbi Chaim levine hop for hroimWhat is it about hero-

ism that moves us so much?Why is it that when we wit-

ness human beings putting

their lives on the line to help

another we eel so inspired

that we tell their stories long

aer they are gone? We write

books about them, and memo-

rialize them in lm. Why?

Tere is no way seless-

ness, heroism, and sacriice

could bring us to tears i it wasnt connected

to something at the very core o who each o

us is and why we are on this earth. When we

see another person going beyond himsel, it

awakens our own dormant hero. Tat part

within us rejoices in the purity o giving to

another without any thought o personal

gain or recognition.

I am blessed beyond what I can express

with being surrounded by those people

in the Jewish nation who were in circum-

stances where, without exaggeration, this

kind o pure heroic giving took place every

day. Im talking o course about the injured

hayalim soldiers I have met through

my involvement in Hope or Heroism. I

realized recently, however, that there are

those among the Jewish people whose hero-

ism and selessness is no less great than our

injured soldiers, albeit largely unrecognized.

In 2006 Captain Roi Klein was involved

in one o the most brutal battles in the

second Lebanon war against Hezbollah

terrorists. Roi and his soldiers were caught

in a terrible ambush in the village o Bing-

bel. Space in this article does not allow me

to go into detail o the battle, but o the

dozens o grenades thrown by the terror-

ists at Roi and his soldiers, one suddenly

landed right in the midst o them. Imagine

or just a second that you were there. In

that terrible moment, what happens next?

Without hesitation Roi did what he elt

he must do to take care o h

soldiers. He leapt on the grnade in an attempt to prote

their lives.

wo o the soldiers wh

were near him at that mome

told me that as Roi lande

on the grenade, he said th

Shema Yisrael prayer, wi

the ervor and passion th

write about in the books

the Prophets. Roi remaine

alive or a ew seconds aer the blast. H

instructed his soldiers to radio what ha

happened to their commanders and the

passed rom this earth, leaving behind h

wie and two children.

In Israel, ater Roi was buried, h

chevruta (orah study partner) began

write down all o the orah insights R

had come up with while they were stud

ing. He published them under the nam

With All o Your Heart, a line rom th

Shema prayer Roi recited beore he died

oen study this small book o writings o

Shabbat; its incredible.

Aside rom all o Rois soldiers, the

are other heroes in this story, but I wan

to ocus specically on his wie and h

mother. Are they, and all the wives an

mothers o these soldiers, not heroic an

seless in ways we could never unde

stand? Tey are giving their children an

husbands to Am Yisrael so the rest o

may be sae. I dont think I could poss

bly put into writing the level o daily sacr

ce they make or the rest o us. Te wiv

and mothers o our injured soldiers are th

silent heroes o the Jewish nation. Te

level o giving can only be described as

the level o what they write about in th

books o the Prophets. Tey are the livin

Jewish heroes o today, and when Jewi

history is written, their chapter will shin

as brightly as any.

W w pd df m qt

Joel magalniCkedior, JtNwI can remember the moment mar-

riage equality became important to me.

More than eight years ago I sat down with

a member o our local clergy, David Ser-kin-Poole, a man who with his partner

Michael had adopted and raised three

children with special needs. Why, I won-

dered, was I allowed to marry the woman I

loved? I hadnt done anything particularly

special or important by the time I walked

down the aisle, and I took that right or

granted. Yet here was someone who has

done this much good and continues to

do good things or his congregation and

his community and he doesnt get the

same right to marry the man he loves?

Since then, this newspaper has

expressed support or marriage equality.

With a measure on our ballots to uphold

same-sex marriage in Washington State, I

ask today that you do the same and vote to

approve Re. 74.

While I dont mean to put the Serkin-

Pooles on a pedestal aer all, they deal

with the same ups and downs and mun-

danities o lie as any other couple it

was the opportunity to understand their

lives and the indignity o being denied

something as undamental as a marriage

certicate that made me understand how

this amily was considered less than equal

in the eyes o the law.

As Jews, many o us have known what

it is like to be shut out o certain areas o

society, whether it was in health clubs, col-

leges, neighborhoods, or, as we remember

ar too well, civilization as a whole. Many

o us cite past discrimination as a reason

to prevent it urther today.

When we wrote an editorial in 2009

in support o Reerendum 71, which gave

same-sex couples everything but mar-

riage, we said this:

Its an issue of fairness. As Jews,

whether its because we have experi-

enced unequal rights so many times

in the past, or because we live in the

belief of loving thy neighbor as thy-

self, it should be of utmost impor-

tance to ensure that our neighbors,

our coworkers, our fellow synagogue

members have the same rights as

everyone else.

Tat holds true today. We said at the

same time that the issue then wasnt about

marriage, but about those rights that mar-

ried couples oen take or granted. What

has become clear is that everything but

marriage is not enough. Tere are still

times when a couple during a crisis must

pull out a card proving a domestic part-

nership. Tat partnership is recognized

here, but not necessarily everywhere else.

And is anyone renting a tux and book-

ing a DJ aer heading down to Olympia

to pick up a domestic partnership regis-

tration card?

Opponents o this measure say Re. 74

redenes marriage. Tis law would rede-

ne who can get married, but or those oyou married already, I have one simple

question: How does it redene your mar-

riage?

Tink about that. For two people who

love each other to be able to walk down

the aisle and stand in ront o a rabbi and

declare to their community that they are

joined in marriage both beore God and

beore the state is a very powerul thing.

How can we justiy that such a right

shouldnt be available to everyone?

Whats interesting is how the marriage

issue transcends party lines. According

to a poll released earlier this year by the

Public Religion Research Institute, ully

81 percent o Jews support same-sex mar-

riage. aking a closer look, o the people

who identied as Democrat, 89 percent

approved o marriage equality. hats

most, but not all. Fully hal o Jews who

consider themselves Republican 48

percent, plus the margin o error also

approve. Te study also noted the trend o

support is heading in one direction: Up.

We are well aware that not everyone

agrees or will agree on this issue. Tats

okay. Passage o the reerendum doesnt

mean the conversation has to stop, and the

law is explicit in stating that clergy who

do not wish to perorm such marriages

cannot be obliged to do so.

Many halachic Jews, those who live

strictly by the laws set orth by the orah,

see the idea o two men or two women

getting married as a problem due to the

prohibition o them lying together. But

marriage is about ar more than consum-

mation. We all know this its about

teamwork, its getting through the night

when a partner is sick, its watching V

together, its getting the kids to school on

time. Its loving your neighbor as you love

yoursel.

As a newspaper that serves our entire

Jewish community, we must welcome in

as much o our community as we can,

regardless o anyones place on the spec-

trum o observance.

Over the last couple decades, more

and more synagogues and Jewish agen-

cies have become welcome homes to gay,

lesbian and transgender Jews. A coalition

o 28 Jewish organizations across the state

are leading the charge to approve Re. 74

because they too see the need to seek jus-

tice or everyone who comes through their

doors. We are proud to be a part o that

coalition.

So please vote to approve Re. 74. You

can do it or Cantor Serkin-Poole. Or your

neighbor. Or your sister. All things being

equal, we all should be equal.

that risk rises to 10 percent or those who

have a rst-degree relative with the dis-

ease, such as a parent or sibling. A second-

degree relative with the disease also has

an elevated risk; a person with an identi-

cal twin has between a 40 and 65 percent

chance o succumbing to schizophrenia.

Using behavioral, neurophysiological,

and unctional brain imaging approaches,

Heresco-Levy said that his studies during

the last 20 years clearly show there is

severe sensory dysunction in schizo-

phrenia.

He believes that limiting the onset and

the severity o symptoms is, at this time, one

o the only ways doctors can aect the pro-

gression o schizophrenia, but noted th

this approach may set the stage or urth

treatment options or other conditions.

We recently perormed clinical tria

that ound evidence that glutamaterg

drugs can help not only schizophrenia b

also depression, Post-raumatic Stre

Disorder, and Parkinsons disease, adde

Heresco-Levy. Yet these possible trea

ments are not established and certain

not in the health und basket. It is researc

or the uture.

Bad medicine for israel

Israelis today face growing threats fro

all sides, with a remilitarized Sinai, Islamis

on the rise and the Iranians inching closer

nuclear capability. Rabbi Daniel Weiner (

by the nations? Rabbis Turn, Oct. 26) poin

to some extremists who have responded

the rising tensions with inappropriate ainexcusable actions, condemned by t

majority of Israelis. He uses the phras

beleaguered people, describing not Isra

Jews but Palestinian Arabs, whose ma

problem seems to be that their war of exte

mination against Israel, as promised in t

charters of both Hamas and Fatah, has n

been going as smoothly as they would like

He bemoans the departure from the rega

for the other by this young nation only a fe

generations removed from its roots as a refu

for the stateless. He seems uncomfortab

with the fact that this nation was set up as

refuge for statelessJews. Not a newly invent

people called Palestinians, not for the deser

ing masses of Africa, eeing from their Musl

brothers; Jews.

If he sees that as nativism, perhaps it

because Jews are in fact the natives of th

land, from the sea to the Jordan River,

brought down not only in the Torah, but by t

unanimous declaration of the League of Natio

in 1922, in recognition of the 3,000 years

Jewish attachment to the land. Expressio

of xenophobia become more understandab

when the outsiders pose an existential thre

to Israels survival as a Jewish nation.

To remedy this situation Weiner sets o

to save Israels soul. As any Native Ame

can can tell you, the soul of a people resid

not only in its members, but in the land th

has been its sacred ancestral home. Jewi

history was not written in Tel Aviv or Eilat, b

in the land known for millennia as Judea a

Samaria, cleverly renamed the West Bank

King Hussein in 1948 to erase the name of t

Jew from the map of the Middle East. Wein

would save Israels soul by excising t

Jewish heartland like a cancerous tumor, r

egating the Zionist dream to an indefensib

strip along the Philistine Coast.

When the world nally lives up to its pro

ises to the Jews, and when we Jews proud

stand up for what is rightfully ours, only th

will we be the light unto the nations spoke

of by Isaiah, who never heard of Green Line

two-state solutions or Arab East Jerusale

When Jews can nally live in peace and sec

rity in our promised land, the shameful in

dents Rabbi Weiner decries will become a thi

of the past.

Janis siegel JtNw CorrpondnA Hebrew text rom 1797, one o the

most widely read and inuential Jewish

books o its time, caught the imagination

o one o todays oremost Jewish schol-

ars because it promoted harmony and the

coherence between science, nature, andthe Divine.

David Ruderman, a proessor o

modern Jewish history at the University

o Pennsylvania, spoke to packed audi-

ences in Seattle on October 22 and 24 as

part o the University o Washingtons

annual Stroum Lecture series. In his lec-

tures, Behind a Best Seller: Kabbalah,

Science, and Loving Ones Neighbor in

Pinhas Hurwitzs Seer ha-Brit, Ruder-

man explained why Seer ha-Brit (Te

Book o the Covenant), written by Euro-

pean kabbalist and entrepreneur Pinchas

Hurwitz, was reprinted in 40 editions.

Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote about the

act that his mother loved this book espe-

cially, Ruderman told JNews. He read

the Yiddish version. People like [S.Y.]

Agnon, Solomon Schechter, and a long list

o people have quoted the book. Tis is the

way people got their science. People had it

in their homes. Tis was the kind o book

that was parve. You could learn your sci-

ence and still appreciate being a Jew.

Ruderman said that the books second

part, which calls or a universal morality,

is its most remarkable. It provides a kind

o early moral template or

uniting disparate groups,

both within and outside o

Judaism. Hurwitzs book,

he said, contains a sophis-

ticated message he callsmoral cosmopolitanism

that appealed to Jews at

a time when the printing

press and the scientic rev-

olution were shaping a new

intellectual uture.

Te work is a scien-

tic encyclopedia written

by a kabbalist, said Rud-

erman. It was read by Jews

who were enlightened,

who were trying to express

their secularity, but it was

also read by Hassidim, and the opponents

o Hassidim. It breaks down all barriers.

According to Ruderman, Seer ha-

Brit includes chapters on astronomy,

botany, geology, animals, medicine, the

human body, and Creation. Hurwitz, who

was only known due to the popularity o

this book, wanted Jews to have all o the

available scientic knowledge o the time.

He was an aggressive book dealer,

Ruderman explained. He goes around

the world selling this book. He was born

in Vilna, he goes to Germany, he comes

to the Netherlands, hes in Amsterdam,

spends a year in Te Hague, he goes to

London, he goes back across the conti-

nent, and he eventually dies in Krakow.

Ruderman, who is also an ordained

Reorm rabbi, noted that medicine and

the choice to become a doctor was always

accepted and encouraged in Jewish culture

throughout history, as it was during Hur-

witzs time.

Many Jews, rom a very early period

o time, became doctors, and doctors were

approved o as a very important dimen-

sion o the Jewish tradition, said Rud-

erman. Medicine was not looked down

upon. Tere were so many Jewish doctor

and this continues in Northern Europe

the Middle Ages.

However, in the 19th and 20th centur

he said, science and traditional Judais

underwent a partial split.I think it had to do with the brea

down o the traditional community, h

said. During the scientic revolutio

Jews become aware, like others, o th

world, and they responded. Jews we

assimilating and leaving the Jewish ol

but the connection wasnt broken.

Additionally, the growing acceptan

o Jews in academia urther encourage

the trend o Jews migrating toward th

sciences and away rom tradition

inuences.

And then in the Early Modern perio

there was an explosion, because univers

ties, or the rst time, opened their doo

to Jews, and many Jews go to the unive

sity to study medicine.

Ruderman, who is the Joseph Meye

ho Proessor o Modern Jewish Histo

and the Ella Darivo Director o the He

bert D. Katz Center or Advanced Juda

Studies at UPenn, originally went to ra

binical school to ollow a amily lega

o rabbis, but instead, excelled in the ac

demic world.

emily k. alhadeff aoci edior, JtNwWhen you have a bleak reality, you

try to escape to dreams, said Yose Men-

delevich on the night o Oct. 24, beore

a rapt audience at the Seattle Kollel. Te

ormer Soviet reusenik came to Seattle

on short notice while touring the UnitedStates with his book, Unbroken Spirit: A

Heroic Story o Faith, Courage and Sur-

vival (Geen).

Mendelevich is best known or his

involvement in the DymshitsKuznetsov

hijacking aair. On June 15, 1970, Men-

delevich and 15 other men attempted to

hijack a plane out o the Soviet Union to

Sweden. Once in Sweden, they planned to

hold a press conerence to bring awareness

to the plight o the Soviet Jews.

But Mendelevich, then 22 years old,

and his comrades only made it as ar as

the Smolnoye airport beore they were

arrested and aced with a possible death

penalty.

It was a trap o the secret service, he

said.

Beore the audience at the Kollel, Men-

delevich, now a wiry man o 65 with a

long white beard, peyot, and playul eyes,

described his spiritual journey over 11

years o Soviet imprisonment.

Tey tried to break me, but or some

reason, I dont know why, I wouldnt

cooperate, he said.

Armed with growing aith in God and

unwavering aith in the people o Israel,

Mendelevich withstood lie in the Gulag

and, upon his release in 1981, immigrated

to Israel to the great enthusiasm o the

country.Unbroken Spirit was originally

published in Hebrew in 1985. Recently,

riends had urged him to publish it in Eng-

lish or the sake o Am Yisrael.

Te moment it will be needed, it will

happen, he used to say. And it hap-

pened. Unbroken Spirit was trans-

lated into the English by Benjamin Balint,

ormer editor o Commentary magazine,

author o Running Commentary (Publi-

cAairs, 2010), and a 1994 graduate o the

Northwest Yeshiva High School.

Benjamins mother, ormer Seat-

tle resident Judy Lash Balint, organized

Mendelevichs stop in Seattle with Rabbi

Avrohom David at the Kollel. Judy Balint

was active in the Soviet Jewry movement

in the 1970s and 80s, and helped bring

Mendelevich to Seattle in 1983.

While in town last week, the ormer

reusenik also visited Northwest Yeshiva

High School, Seattle Hebrew Academy,

the University o Washington, and the

Henry M. Jackson Foundation.

His case was such a linchpin o the

movement, said Balint via Skype rom

Jerusalem, where she now lives. I not or

the hijackers, the movement would not

have happened.

Balint reected on her work with the

Soviet Jews in the days when no one was

allowed out, and no Israelis were allowed in.

Youd have to book a phone call, s

said. Invariably, the Soviets would com

back and say, You can have that phon

call at two, three in the morning.

Balint rst visited the Soviet Union

1974.You elt these instant bonds with th

people in the USSR, she said. You e

this was your closest misphacha [amily

Te eort to get the Jews out o Russ

and into Israel was a coming together

disparate parts o the Jewish world, sh

said. It was a very proound experience

Born in Riga, Latvia in 1947, Mend

levich describes Jews in the ormer Sovi

Union as victims o a biological Hol

caust by orced assimilation. Althoug

raised secular a product o his env

ronment Mendelevich and his ami

dreamed o Israel, where the sun is shi

ing all the year and where there are goo

people; nobody hates us, or one simp

reason: All o them are Jewish.

I religious identication was killed o

by the Soviets, then Mendelevich was re

urrected. Upon discovering a number

Jews in his university classes, Mendelevic

began attending synagogue and helped

clean up the site o a mass Jewish grave

28,000 bodies.

1Tat unky part o Te

Ave Seattles Univer-sity Avenue above

NE 50th St., has some un

restaurants, including Jaclyn

Roths Fat Ducks Deli and

Bakery in a converted house

at 5509. Open or about a year,

Fat Ducks has gotten high

marks or corned bee, but the

pastrami is delicious, too.

An energetic dynamo who

baked, served and made sand-

wiches while we talked, Jaclyn

learned about ood work-

ing in her dads restaurant. He opened

Dons Drive-In restaurant near her Liv-

ingston, N.J., hometown, turning it into

a 250-seat popular gourmet deli restau-

rant that earned a best hamburger in the

state award.

He was a great, great man, says Jaclyn

o her recently deceased dad. He meant

the world to me. She got a lot o recipes

rom him and rom his mother, a typi-

cal Jewish mother who thought her son

was crazy, o course,

to open a restaurant.

Dons six kids all

worked in the restau-

rant, but none took it

over. Ater studying

business at the Uni-

versity o New Hamp-

shire, Jaclyn worked

in the airline industry

and moved to Seat-

tle about 25 years ago.

Eventually, she le the

skies or cooking. She started

working at another local res-

taurant, Blazing Bagels, when

it was just a hole in the wall

in Redmond much like

Fat Ducks is now. Tere she

cooked and baked or owner

Dennis Ballen, doing the

un stu, so he could go out

and sell.

Dennis is her best riend,

Jaclyn says, a huge support,

an intricate part o this estab-

lishment [who] has helped

me like you wouldnt believe.

She uses his bagels and his

pastrami supplier, and when

Dennis visits his mom in

Caliornia, he cant show up

without a batch o Jaclyns rugelach.

Speaking o rugelach, I sampled three

avors, including late ood writer Eileen

Mintzs recipe rom Yesterdays Mavens,

odays Foodies, the Washington State

Jewish Historical Society cookbook. Jaclyn

also bakes black and white cookies (oh,

Brooklyn, I can hear you calling!), hamen-

taschen, blondies, thick lemo

bars, savory bagel chips anmore. She doesnt corn h

own bee, but seasons it an

re-bakes it on premises.

Jaclyn oen works 12-ho

days at this, her rst busine

venture. She admits its risk

but shes happy to take th

chance. I just jumped in

this, at the urging o riend

T nw nk btwnstt pc nd tJw cmmnt

tim klass JtNw CorrpondnAer serving in the Marine Corps and

National Guard and earning a bachelor oscience degree at Te Evergreen State Col-

lege, Bryan Bright narrowed his job search

down to the Seattle police and the Oregon

State Police.

Concerned he might be assigned to

Eastern Oregon, where he and his wie elt

it would be difcult to give their two chil-

dren a Jewish upbringing, he chose Seattle.

Now, aer spending the intervening 12

years as a patrol ofcer in Seattles North

End, Bright has been named the police

departments liaison to the citys Jewish

community.

One o my rst goals is to go to all

the locations [o Jewish institutions in the

city] and make introductions and get to

meet people, he said in an interview in the

North Precinct lobby.

About our months into the job, Bright

says he has visited the Jewish Federation o

Greater Seattle, the local ofce o the Anti-

Deamation League, emple De Hirsch

Sinai, and I think all the locations in the

North Precinct in his new capacity, with

the exception o two congregations.

Besides those two shuls, he is eager to

visit synagogues in other parts o town and

other community groups and institutions,

a process he expects will take three to our

months to complete.

Bright also was happy to learn o a two-

day training program on security issues

the Federation is sponsoring or public

inormation ofcers in January.

I made sure our media-relations sec-

tion knew about the training, he said.

Te SAFE Washington statewide Jewish

security program is another thing that Ive

made people aware o the [police] Com-

munity Outreach Ofce, the chain o com-

mand that i theres ever an incident at

a Jewish location aer-hours and we cant

nd a Jewish representative, SAFE Wash-

ington has a 24-hour contact number where

somebody can be reached, Bright said.

Te liaison ofcer program was started

by ormer Chie Norm Stamper about

two decades ago with the Arican Ameri-

can community, said Lt. Carmen Best, a

20-year Seattle police veteran who has run

the outreach ofce or two years. Others

added over the years are or the East Ari-

can, Korean, Southeast Asian, Filipino,

Latino, Native American, Muslim, Sikh,

Arab, and lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgen-

der-queer communities.

Im excited to have [Bright] do that,

she said.

Like Bright, each liaison remains

responsible or all o his or her regular

patrol duties. Police designate a liaison

only when the community decides thats

something they want to do and an ofcer

expresses interest in the role, she added.

Its communities that theyre associ-

ated with, Best said. Its work they enjoydoing.

Unlike Bright, all the others deal with

an advisory council that is ormed as part

o the liaison program, she said. Best and

Bright said a similar council or the Jewish

community would probably be superuous.

I think the Jewish community had

made a lot o those [internal] connections

without having a liaison ofcer, Bright

said. Te department didnt necessarily

know that there was this [degree o] con-

nection within the community.

Liaisons between the Jewish commu-

nity and police departments exist nation-

wide. San Francisco has long had such a

program, as have Philadelphia and Phoe-

nix, and shomrim, or guard, societies, in

places with larger Jewish communities such

as New York work with local police as well.

At this early stage, Bright is unclear

as to how liaison work might extend into

Jewish neighborhoods and institutions in

suburban areas covered by Bellevue police,

the King County Sheris ofce and other

local agencies.

Tis is pretty new or me. Im not sure

yet, he said. Its an intriguing idea.

I dont know what kind o jurisdic-

tional issues itll create. I would certainly

be willing to work with the community in

Bellevue or on the Eastside, but jurisdic-

tionally I dont know i that would create

any conicts.

Bright grew up in the Kansas City area

and his wie in a suburb o St. Louis. Tey

live with their son, 15, and daughter, who

recently turned 13, near Fort Lewis, south

o acoma, about 40 miles rom his 3 a .m.-

to-noon patrol job. Te amily is active in

emple Beth El in acoma.

The Mirror of America: Jewish Composers on Broadway

Lecture

Another lecture by Dr. Theodore Deacon, The Mirror of America: Jewish Com -

posers on Broadway will focus on how Jewish composers influenced the de-

velopment of American musicals over the decades. Deacon expounds upon the

movement that after decades of bawdy burlesque, vacuous varieties, and racy

revues, a number of American composers and producers felt the time had come

to reform the American musical comedy. Taking their inspiration from modern

theater and European operetta, these creative visionaries urged Broadway to-

ward what some considered more dignified productions.

At Temple Beth Am, 2632 NE 80th St., Seattle. RSVP to 206-525-0915 or

[email protected].

He taught at Yale or 11 years and also

spent six years at the University o Mary-

land.

Ruderman is a winner o two National

Jewish Book Awards or his work in Jewish

history, mysticism, spirituality, and sci-

ence, and was awarded his most recent NJB

award in 2011 or his book Early ModernJewry: A New Cultural History (Princ-

eton, 2010). He received the National

Foundation or Jewish Cultures lietime

achievement award in 2001 or his work in

Jewish history.

Bright, who especially enjoys digital

orensics investigations, said he became

curious about a liaison position aer work-

ing to establish contacts throughout the

North End, including one at the Men-

achem Mendel Seattle Cheder in April.

Te second time the rabbi called me at

home, o-duty, I thought, You know, we

have this Community Outreach Section,

Bright said. I wonder i they have a liaison

ofcer that the Jewish community could

contact whenever they have questions that

are not necessarily an emergency some

way that they could bring up issues or

make requests o the department?

He proceeded to contact the depart-

ment, learned there was no such liaison,

and asked to be considered should one be

selected. About our months later, he said,

I got an email back and they were saying,

Te jobs yours i you want it.

We sat at the graves and sang Jewi

songs Am Yisrael Chai, David Mele

Yisrael Chai Vikayam, he recalled. T

dead people are listening to our songs, an

they are gladI imagined that the mome

they were shot, they thought that ever

thing was lost.

Te dead people taught us a lessoTere is Am Yisrael, and we belong, h

said. It is me being shot, and coming up

got my strength, my being a Jew, rom th

dead people.

From there, Mendelevich said, I su

gested we have to establish an unde

ground movement to save Am Yisrael.

Now the head o the religious-Zioni

Machon Meir Yeshiva in Jerusalem, Me

delevich described his rst encounters wi

Jewish practice.

Strange people, he thought, havin

a new year in September. Its not snow

ing yet. He credits not his classmates, b

God, with bringing him to those rst Ros

Hashanah services. As his ervor to save th

people o Israel increased, it occurred

him: He had to take on traditional Jewis

observance, little that he knew about it.

I had a eeling I had to sacrice som

thing, he said. So he called out to Go

I you make me ree rom Soviet army

promise you to become a believing Jew.

According to Mendelevich, God cam

through on the promise. Even in priso

aer the oiled plot, Mendelevich proud

identied as a Jew.

When I got involved in this activism

I discovered meaning! he exclaimed. M

lie was joyul, you know?

Admitting that I am not a Jewish acti

ist would mean or me to nish my lie

he said.

PeteR klein spcil o JtNwAn opera written in a Nazi concentra-

tion camp about a murderous ruler who

tries to outdo Death himsel might sound

ar-etched. But that is exactly the story

behind Te Emperor o Atlantis, to be

perormed by Music o RemembranceNovember 16 and 18 at Benaroya Hall.

MOR launches its 15th season with the

opera composed by Viktor Ullman while

imprisoned at erezn, along with works by

Ernest Bloch and pioneering Israeli com-

poser Marc Lavry. Seattle Symphony music

director Ludovic Morlot will conduct.

Atlantis will be sung in English by a

cast o mostly local singers.

Its very accessible, says MORs artis-

tic director Mina Miller. Its as much

musical theater as it is opera.

Miller notes that the piece has many

aspects o Kurt Weill cabaret, with

plenty o sharp-edged satire. I youre

new to opera, she adds, you will see and

hear a great example o how music can

bring human stories to lie.

Viktor Ullman (18981944) was a prom-

inent composer and conductor who worked

in Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia.

Tough he was only hal-Jewish and raised

Catholic, he was still considered a Jew under

Nazi racial laws. Ullman was deported to the

erezn concentration camp in 1942.

erezn (Teresienstadt) was actually a

holding camp or the death camps, but was

presented to the outside world as a para-

dise ghetto. Many prominent Jewish cul-

tural gures were imprisoned there, who

gave the camp a rich artistic lie despite its

harsh conditions. Ullman composed pro-

lically at erezn, writing Te Emperor

o Atlantis with librettist Peter Kien

during the latter hal o 1943.

Te plot: Te mighty Emperor Overall

proclaims total war. All humankind will ght

and all will be killed. Death, angered that his

role has been usurped, goes on strike.

Since no one can die, all manner o

bizarre situations ensue. wo opposing

soldiers a man and a woman cannot

kill each other, so they make love instead.

Te sick and wounded protest their limbo

between lie and death. Te emperors

power begins to crumble. Eventually,

Death proposes a solution to the impasse,

which we wont give away here.

Atlantis actually went into rehearsal

at erezn, but the Nazi authorities saw

parallels between the emperor and Hitle

and banned it. Ullman gave his sco

to the camp librarian, who survived th

Holocaust. In October 1944, Ullman w

deported to Auschwitz and murdered

the gas chambers, along with most o h

ellow luminaries.

Ullmans music is a rich synthesis

many musical sounds rom the rst pa

o the 20th century. One can hear Germa

Romanticism, the inuence o Ullman

teacher Arnold Schoenberg, and the jaz

tinged, cynical ambience that perm

ated Berlin in the 1920s. A lullaby ro

the Tirty Years War (which decimate

Germanys population in the 1600

appears. Te hymn A Mighty Fortress

If you goThe Emperor of Atlantis will

be performed Friday, Nov. 16

at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 18

at 6 p.m. For tickets and

information, visitwww.musicofremembrance.org.

The rst 100 high school stu-

dents who sign up there will
