ANALYSIS

JERUSALEM (JA) Prime Minister Benjamin Netan-

yahu is acing one o the most acute dilemmas since his

return to power last March: How to respond to the U.N.-

sponsored Goldstone reports charges that Israel may

have committed war crimes in the Gaza war last January.

Pressure is mounting to est ablish an independent Israeli

commission o inquiry. Key international players including

the United States, Britain and France even Richard G old-

stone, the author o the U.N. report have intimated that i

Israel sets up a credible civilia n inquiry, in Goldstones ownwords, it would be the end o the matter.

Ending the Goldstone process would constitute a con-

siderable diplomatic gain or Israel, and several members

o the Israeli government, including Foreign Minister Avig-

dor Lieberman, are advising Netany ahu to go that route.

But Deense Minister Ehud Barak and the Israel

Deense Forces are strongly against such an inquiry.

Tey argue that a civilian-led investigation could cause

chaos in the army, with senior ocers looking or lawyers

instead o ocusing on military planning and training.

On Oct. 25, ater convening a meeting o his top advis-

ers, senior ministers and the top IDF brass, Netanyahu

made some initial decisions.

He promised the army that whatever commission was

nally decided on, no ocers or soldiers would be called

upon to testiy. He also ordered a team o proessionals

under Justice Minister Yaacov Neeman to come up with a

set o proposed legal, diplomatic and public relations coun-

terpoints to the Goldstone report as soon as possible.

On the commission o inquiry, Netanyahu seems to

be leaning toward a compromise proposal by Attorney

Leyna KrowAssistant Editor, JTNews

Te second trial or Naveed Haq began on Wed., Oct.

21 at the King County Superior Court. Haq, 34, the man

who wounded ve women and killed one at the oce

o the Jewish Federation in July o 2006, rst stood trial

in the spring o 2008. But ater a lmost six weeks o testi-

mony, members o the jury were unable to agree on 14 o

the 15 counts against Haq.

Tis time around, the charges against Haq have been

lessened to eight counts in hopes o decreasing the number

o points the new jury must ag ree upon to reach a verdict.

Again, Haq is pleading not guilty by reason o insan ity,

with the deense claiming that mental il lness aggravated

by changes in his medication and treatment led Haq to

attack the Jewish Federation.

I Mr. Haq was not mentally ill, you would havethe perect cold-blooded killing. But the evidence

will show that this was because o an illness, deense

attorney John Carpenter said during his opening state-

ment.

Carpenter cited erratic behavior, road rage incidents,

increased paranoia and an inability to hold a job as evi-

dence o Haqs declining mental state in the months prior

to the shootings. He noted, however, that Haq had always

been attentive to his own mental health needs, seeking

out treatment rom the time he was rst diagnosed with

bipolar disorder in college until just three days beore the

attack at the Jewish Federation when he checked in with

his medication nurse.

Something thats consistent in Mr. Haqs history is

that he has always sought help, Carpenter said, later

adding that, It was the mental illness and medication

that caused this shit .

Senior deputy prosecutor Don Raz argued that

although Haq clearly suers rom mental illness, his

actions cannot be attr ibuted to his disorder. Rather, the

shootings were a deliberate choice made out o anger,

not delusion.

Naveed Haqs mental illness did not cause him

to attack the Jewish Federation, Raz said. His anger

did.

Raz pointed to well-thought-out documents Haq had

written on a computer at his parents home in Pasco in

the days beore the shooting that detailed his rustra-

tion with both Israels war with Lebanon, which had been

occurring at that time, and the U.S.s involvement in the

Middle East. Raz then described the process Haq went

through to acquire the g uns and ammunition he used or

the attack, as well as his I nternet searches that led him to

learn about the Jewish Federation o Greater Seattle, all

o which, according to Raz, indicated rational premedita-

tion on Haqs part.

He said he was doing this just to make a political

statement, Raz said. In this day and age, whats the

quickest way to make a point? Get a gun, shoot a bunch o

people and get on CNN.In his opening statement, Raz also made reerence to

including newly admitted evidence to this trial, speci-

cally, the phone calls that Haq made to his parents rom

jail in the days ollowing his arrest i n which he allegedly

said he was proud o what he had done and assumed he

would be hailed as a celebrity.

In pretrial hearings, deputy prosecutor Erin Ehlert

argued that the phone calls refect Haqs state o mind

most closely to the time o the shootings, including his

initial justications or why he committed the attack and

ought to be heard by the jury. Tey had not been heard

during the rst trial in 2008.

Why a person does something is extremely relevant,

Ehlert said.

Judge Paris K. Kallas agreed to allow the jury to hear

the phone calls.

he trials irst week ocused primarily on testi-

mony our o the ive surviving victims o the shooting,

Carol Goldman, Cheryl Stumbo, Christina Rexroad

and Layla Bush.

Te rst witness to take the stand was Kelsey Burkum,

Rabbi ChaimLevineLivingJudaism

Te problem with trying to nd the

solution to the current economic insta-

bility is that the ans wer has nothing to do

with money. Te solution is this: We are

Blessed. Beyond imagination.

How could this be the answer? Aside

rom the act that it is one o the most un-

damental truths we can ever know, grat-

itude is a spiritual state that unleashes

creativity, perspective, and all the wisdom we need to walk through lie. Imagine i

collectively, as a nation, we turned toward

gratitude. How would that change our

think ing about how much money we have,

what we consume, and our understanding

o what is happening right now?

Judaism teaches that what happens

in the outside world is always, always,

a refection o what is happening on the

inside world. A greedy mind is a mind

without wisdom and common sense. A

earul mind is a mind without wisdom

and common sense. Te insecurity we

see today is the inevitable result o people

living in a state o agitation, without

peace o mind. Te solution thereore is

in the opposite direction.

Seeing with eyes o gratitude; eel-

ing like but or the grace o God go I, is

a simple, honest truth about our lives, no

matter what our nancial position may be

at the moment. Its also the most practi-

cal course o action we could take to deal

with the nancial situation or any situa-

tion. Te reason is simple: What perpetu-

ates downward and upward spirals is the

very thing that created it in the rst place.

People eel bound by their earul or

sometimes greedy thinking. Te moment

this changes we will begin again to do

commerce with perspective and coni-

dence. Our minds will automatically move

rom ocusing on what we dont have toseeing what we can do with what we do

have. Tis shit spurs the creativity, per-

spective, and vision to see and capitalize

on the daily opportunities that are being

created around us.

On any given day in Jewish lie, grat-

itude is being imbedded in our expe-

rience through the blessings we make

during the day. Tere is a custom to say

a beautiul prayer o thanks t he moment

we open our eyes in the morning . We have

blessings in the morning or the most

simple, yet undamental, things about

being alive. We make blessings o thanks

beore and ater we have the privilege o

eating. Te almud actually states that

we should strive each day to say at least a

hundred blessings; a hundred moments

o ocusing us on gratitude; a hundred

opportunities to not ocus on what we

dont have and to treasure what we do.

On a personal level, this moment in

time is an opportunity or all o us to have

a shit in our relationsh ip to money and its

value in our lie. We have to ask ourselves,

i what we truly value is all the things

money cannot buy amily, love, giving

then why does it righten us so much iwe lose money? Have we started to belie ve

that people who dont have money cant

have those things? Tat is impossible. So,

as they say these days, Its on us.

Having said that, we are all human and

have our moments o railty. Its a given

that we are going to have moments o eel-

ing rightened, regretul, and like weve

lost that something that makes us eel

secure. Tere will be times that it looks like

security can only come rom something

outside o us. How do we relate to those

moments? Does it seem like our human

railty is comi ng out, or more like we really

have something to be araid o?

Im not suggesting there arent people

going through great challenges. People

have been orced to sell their homes,

declare bankruptcy, and le or unem-

ployment. However, many o the people

who ace these challenges go through with

great grace, perspective, and yes, even

gratitude. We have all met people like this

in our lives. What allows them to do so is

their level o understanding about where

value and joy come rom at any given

moment. heir understanding protects

and guides them through the most di-cult times and lights a path or the rest o

us when we are eeling challenged.

Its time or us to turn away rom the

problem and continue looking toward

the solution. ime to look or the eel-

ing that comes rom seeing we are truly

blessed.

As always, gratitude will save the day.

On th conoy withinTe solution to our economic malaise is to throw o the chains o greed and ear

rabbis turn

Making us look bad

I was puzzled by the story, Answer-

ing questions on Iran (Oct., 16) about the

meeting at De Hirsch on the Iran threat.

The puzzle is that Iran is not a threat and

every rational person who examines the

details agrees with the inspectors that the

notion that there is a threat is a ction. To

host a discussion in which a alse view

o reality is contained in the title (Facing

the Iranian Threat) o the event indicates

someone is intent on ostering lies and

conusion. As a Jew and an inormed and

moral human being, I am disgusted that

any Jewish organization, indeed any orga-

nization committed to justice in any orm,

would sponsor an event that clearly is just

a pack o lies, simple war mongering.

Why are so many Jews so gullible when

it comes to right-wing nuts tr ying to make

war? It is just like Iraq all over again and

people pretend there is a discussion to

have, an open issue to debate. There isnot. There simply is no threat!

Must the right-wing nuts constantly

embarrass us? Why do we let the insane

anatics dene the way the world per-

ceives the Jewish perspective? These

jackasses just lie to create war or their

own prot and they make us all look bad

in the process. Who are these lying pigs

and why does anyone listen to them?

Dr. Richard Curtis, Seattle

a danger to the free world

The Islamic Republic o Iran is a des-

potic undamentalist military dictatorship

whose goal is hegemony in the Middle

East. Irans ability to acquire nuclear mis-

sile technology is a threat to Israel, its

Arab neighbors, Europe and America and

would set o an arms race in the Middle

East. Richard Silverstein in his Special to

JTNews Misunderstanding the Iranian

threat (Oct. 16) would have you believe

that the diplomacy that hasnt worked or

the past 30 years with Iran is the sensi-

ble way to proceed and all who disagree

with him are partisan and hard-line.

He, on the other hand, is even-handed

and moderate. Nothing could be urther

rom reality.

Mr. Silverstein, who is more comort-

able with the likes o Norman Finkelstein

and Noam Chomsky, has assembled a dis-

gruntled ormer AIPAC employee, the head

o the National Iranian Council o America

(no partisanship there), and a political sci-

entist rom the University o Pennsylvania

to be on a panel to discuss the t rue path in

dealing with Iran.

Mr. Silverstein gets many o his acts a

bit skewed as well. In a recent Washing-

ton Post /ABC poll, 78 percent o Ameri-

cans avor strong sanctions against Iran to

prevent it rom developing nuclear weap-

ons. That number approaches 90 percent

among Jews. He states that 1/3 o Jews

dont avor an attack on Iran. What is more

telling is that 2/3 would avor such action

even though none o the organizations

that support sanctions against Iran avor

an attack unless it is an absolute last resor t.

He makes a point o saying that unless you

visit Iran one cannot comment on its his-

tory and political landscape.Tell that to all the journalists and aca-

demics who have been silenced, impris-

oned or worse or commenting on this

landscape. Mr. Silversteins description

o the brutal, repressive, terror-support-

ing, Holocaust-denying and murderous

Iranian regime as an unsavory lot says

much about how he views this threat.

Mr. Silverstein is certainly entitled to

air his views on Iran, but he should be

careul when he labels people who dis-

agree with him as right-wing warmongers.

Iran is a danger to the ree world and pre-

venting them rom developing a nuclear

weapon by placing strong sanctions as an

incentive is recognized by all serious Iran

analysts as well as our European allies as

the way to proceed. We are hardly right-

wing warmongers.

Dr. Michael Spektor, Bellevue

apologists

I was dismally shocked and horried

to see JTNews run an Op-Ed by Edwin

Black a ew weeks back that used the title

Holocaust Industry, (Conronting the

Holocaust industry, Oct. 2) the phrase

invented by the countrys worst Jewish

anti-Semite, Norman Finkelstein, to justiy

the claim by neo-Nazis that Israel uses the

Holocaust to justiy its crimes.

Was the JTNews trying to grant credi-

bility to Finkelstein, himsel generally seen

as a neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier? And

then soon ollowing that,JTNews saw t to

run a column by Seattles leading apolo-

gist or Finkelstein, the anti-Semitic Jewish

blogger and pro-terror, Israel-hating smear

master Richard Silverstein. Silverstein has

yet to hear o an Islamic terrorist he does

not wish to cheer on as a moderate, nor

an Israeli he does not think needs to be

bombed in order to promote peace.

He avors Israels annihilation as part

o the so-called one state solution, in

which Israel is replaced by a Muslim Arab

state with a Jewish minority.

William Arenstein, Ramat Gan, Israel

Edmund C. CaseJTA World News Service

NEWON, Mass. (JA) In the wake

o the Masa Lost Jews controversy last

month, reports that Jewish Agency Chair-

man Natan Sharansky believes that Israeli

Jews need to understand Jewish lie in the

Diaspora better are welcome. But what do

Israelis need to know about intermarriage

and who is going to tell them?

By implicitly equating assimilation

and intermarriage, the ad by the Jewish

Agency or Israel-unded scholarship

organization (MASA) expressed a mis-

conception that appears requently in the

English-language Israeli press. All agree

that assimilation the loss o Jewish

identity and connection is terrible. But

intermarriage does not necessarily resultin loss o Jewish identity.

o the contrary, intermarriage is

already enlarging American Jewish com-

munities. Te 2005 Boston Jewish Com-

munity Survey ound that 60 percent

o interaith amilies are raising their

children as Jews, and concluded that

although intermarriage is generally pre-

sumed to have a negative impact on the

size o the Jewish population, in Boston it

appears to have increased [it].

In addition, more than 25 percent

o the member amilies in Reorm syn-

agogues are intermarried; the Reorm

movement has been growing in both

numbers and market share.

Moreover, the inlux o non-Jewish

partners has the potential to qualitatively

enrich Jewish lie. At I nteraithFamily.com,

weve attracted thousands o personal

narratives.

Many Jewish partners express a very

strong commitment to Jewish lie and

have very supportive non-Jewish partners.

One intermarried man wrote to his ather

about his young daughter: Dad, you wont

believe this, but she speaks Hebrew. She

goes to synagogue and observes Shab-

bat. She almost knows more about our

people and our religion than I do, prob-

ably because she pays more attention in

services t han I ever did. She is a Jew, Dad. I

want you to know t hat.

Many people tell us that because they

are in i nteraith relationships, they work

harder at their Jewish involvement. Oneinterdating Jewish woman described her

eelings as she brought her non-Jewish

boyriend to meet her Holocaust-survivor

grandparents: I desperately wanted my

grandparents to know that dating Nathan

had not made me any less Jewish and had,

in many ways, strengt hened my personal

commitment to a aith that was easy

to take or granted in a Jewish home, a

Jewish grade school, and a largely Jewish

community.

Many intermarried parents recognize

the importance o giving children a single

religious identity, and there are partic-

ular aspects o Jewish lie that appeal to

them. One wrote about Shabbat, When

we sit down together, theres a peace-

ulness that comes over us. Something

about it, about the ancient Jewish prayers,

about being linked to a worldwide tradi-

tion, about sharing it together, all o us,

has truly brought the beauty and bond o

Judaism into our intermarried home.

Another wrote, I enjoyed the Jewish

encouragement o asking and answer-

Intermarriage also has the potential to

increase support or Israel in America. Te

entire extended amily o the non-Jewish

partner becomes related to a Jew, and to

that extent connected with the Jewish com-

munity. Many young adult children with

one Jewish parent are interested enough toparticipate in growing numbers in Birth-

right Israel trips, returning to America with

strengthened Jewish identity.

One non-Jewish wie on an Israel

Encounter interaith couples trip told us

that when the tour director greeted the

group by welcoming them home, she

bristled, thinking, I do not agree with

the politics o this country and this is not

my home.

But by the end o the trip, I elt as

though I was leaving my extended amily,

leaving my home. I am carrying this

momentum with me back to Atlanta, she

said. For the rst time in I am embar-

rassed to admit how long, we went to

epaning th triWhat Israelis need to know about intermarriage in North America

Shabbat services. It just seemed right ater

being in Jerusalem or our last Shabbat. I

purchased a transliterated siddurso that

I can ollow along at servic es next Friday. I

am also attempting to learn Hebrew. I am

determined to read and speak some basic

Hebrew when we return home.

Israelis dont have a monopoly on

viewing intermarriage as a danger; there

are North American critics o the Boston

survey and o the Reorm movement.

Rabbi Norman Lamms hateul com-

ment that Reorm has grown by add[ing]

goyim to Jews suggests that he would

write o the young woman who now

thinks o Israel as home.

So it is very important in providing

Israelis with inormation about Jewish

lie in North America that some o the

perspectives come rom people who con-

sider intermarriage not a threat but an

opportunity that cries out or a positive

response.

Te Lost Jews ad was interpreted in

America as attacking mixed marriages,and that generated a very negative reac-

tion. People will not be attracted to a

community, a country or a way o lie i

they do not eel welcomed.

Helping Israelis to learn not to think

and talk about intermarriage as the

equivalent o assimilation will contrib-

ute to increased Jewish identity and con-

nection among intermarried amilies

something that is o vital interest to the

Jewish communities o both North Amer-

ica and Israel.

Fred aucher speaks the language o

international business. Literally. Not only

is he fuent in both Japanese and German ,

aucher boasts several decades worth o

experience working with oreign corpo-

rations as a ormer employee or the Euro-

pean Space Administration and Canon

Camera in Japan, and as a member o

the Advisory Board rade Development

Alliance and the Washington-China

Relations Committee.

None o the [current] port commis-

sioners have that kind o experience, he

said. None o them k now how to get busi-

ness to Everett.

Tats why hes applying or the job.aucher, who will be 77 in January, is one

o ve candidates running or the District

2 position o commissioner or the Port

o Everett.

aucher ran beore or port commis-

sioner in 2005 and lost.

Tat was my rst time running or

any political oce. Its very rare to win

your irst time, he said. I think my

chances are a little better now.

I elected, aucher said he hopes to

make changes to both the kind o business

the port does and the way the port is r un.

Currently, the Port o Everett has three

commissioners who each serve six-year

terms. aucher would like to see instead

ve commissioners serving or our years

each or the sake o expanding the diver-

sity o opinion on the commission and

increasing the amount o thought and

discussion that goes into port decisions.

As or the port itsel, aucher said he

would ocus heavily on developing oreign

business partners or the Port o Everett.

For instance, right now automobiles

coming rom Asia are going to acoma

or Portland rather than Everett, he said.

Teres no reason or that.

aucher said he hopes to oster rela-

tionships with automobile manuactur-

ers in Japan as well as China, which he

expects will begin selling cars to the U.S.

in the coming years.Focusing the Port o Everetts atten-

tion on automobile shipping will have

an added benet or Everett residents as

well by decreasing the need or unsightly

cranes along the Everett waterront.

Most cars come rom the actory with

enough gas in the tank to be driven on

and o the ships, he explained.

aucher said that he has been attend-

ing community meetings to introduce

himsel to people in Everett and ex plain

his goals or the port. Campaigning or

port commissioner is particularly chal-

lenging however, he said, because its not

a position most people know a lot about.

David Kaplans got work to do. Te

second-term Des Moines city coun-

cilmember originally ran or oice in

1997 because he saw a need or economic

development and an intransigent council

standi ng in the way. oday, his platorm is

based on those same issues, though with

dierent circumstances.

Its a very diicult economic cli-

mate, Kaplan told JNews. Its horri-

ble. Teres a lot o businesses that have

closed just this year, and we anticipate

that theres going to be others beore it all

shakes out.

his small city o about 29,000

(according to 2006 gures) and almostseven square miles has long had trou-

ble attracting business development,

Kaplan said, and one o his ongoing

goals has been to make the town more

business-riendly.

he citys at a crossroads andwe

need to continue to make some prog-

ress in terms o [having a] business base

in town i were able to sustain the ser-

vices that the citys currently provid-

ing, Kaplan said.

Tough he does see some o the citys

council unwilling to move orward,

the majority, he believes, are in avor o

doing what it takes to strengthen the Des

Moines economy.

Tis next term, should he be reelected

hes got two challengers or his seat

will be about addressing the citys reve-

nue streams and business base. Kaplan

said that in its current state, since the

passage o Initiative 695, Des Moines has

been running o o one-time inusions

into the budget. I-695 is the 10-year-old

initiative that reduced the states motorvehicles excise tax to $30. While the ini-

tiative itsel was declared unconstitu-

tional, the gist o the bill was later passed

into law by the legislature.

Tere are no more one-time projects

to bail our butt out, Kaplan said. We

need to make the budget sustainable and

we need to bring in revenue.

Some o the ideas he said he is working

on include development o about 90 acres

o land purchased by the Port o Seattle

when it developed the second runway

at Seaac Air port that have gotten nib-

bles rom developers, he said, as well as

people come up to me and ask what a port

commissioner does, aucher lamented.

aucher admits that he may not have

much in the way o political experience,

but likes to think that he makes up or

it with lie experience. Well past the age

most people choose to retire, he still ser ves

as chair man or Corporate Computer, Inc.,

which he ounded in t he 1980s. aucher is

a U.S. military veteran who served during

the Korean War. He has traveled exten-

sively and is a martial arts black belt,

claiming expertise in Judo and karate.

Yet his childhood was ar dierent rom

most o his contemporaries: aucher spent

his early years hiding rom the Nazis in

Berlin during World War II. Born t he same

year Hitler came to power in Germany,

auchers survival to adulthood hingedon luck and personal connections. He and

his brother were sheltered and given ake

ID cards by a pair o German women who

were riendly with auchers parents. Te

siblings were the only members o their

amily to survive the war.

oday, aucher volunteers as a speake r

or the Washington State Holocaust Edu-

cation Resource Center, telling his story

at local schools. He also recently returned

to Berlin to participate in a documen-

tary being made about Jewish children

hidden during the war.

What surprised Naama Levi and

Doron Dvir was the appreciation they got

rom people outside o Seattles Jewish

community.

Te two Israelis, ages 25 and 24 respec-

tively, spent six weeks in the area as el-

lows or the international arm o the Israel

advocacy organization StandWithUs. Tey

had an oten-ull daily calendar o speak-

ing at both Jewish and non-Jewish insti-

tutions, including schools, churches and

synagogues about daily lie in Israel and

their experiences serving in the army.

Tey assumed it was going to be crit-

ical throughout and many people were

very welcoming, said Rob Jacobs, execu-

tive director o StandWithUs Northwestchapter.

But plenty o people wanted to hear

what these Israelis had to say.

When they went to visit high school

classes, they said that though some o

the students asked i Israelis traveled by

camel, they learned rom Levi and Dvirs

lives, including stories about their army

experience and the Israeli-Palestinian

confict, which they said they did their best

not to portray as a black-and-white issue.

Ater so many years o hearing that

speakers were going out to the schools

sort o representing the pro-Palestinian,

anti-Israel perspective, it was nice to be

able to put some young people in ront o

the students who they were able to iden-

tiy with, Jacobs said.

Levi mentioned a mixed group o Jews

and non-Jews at an inormal event they

attended during one o their last days in

town.

hey wanted to know. hey were

curious about our experience as Israe-

lis. Tey put some good questions, some

hard questions. hey were looking to

hear answers, but they werent blocked,

she said. Tey were there to listen, and

I think thats what we accept the most people willing to be curious and open-

minded about how does it really go.

Were trying to show all sides o the

confict, Dvir said. When they nish

our lecture, [their] time with us, t hey eel,

I think, theyre getting a lot o inorma-

tion rom both sides.

Yet the pair was also surprised by the

amount o misinormation they heard

rom Seattleites about their home country.

I had conversations with people rom

the Jewish community and rom the non-

Jewish community, and I heard a lot o

things I elt like, Tis is not the army or

this is not the country I know, Dvir said.

We heard that the Israeli soldiers

[were] authorized to rape and kill Pal-

estinian women, and Israeli soldiers

killed Palestinians and buried them in

unmarked graves, and just hitting and

beating up innocent Palestinians, said

Dvir, who served as a paratrooper in the

Israel Deense Forces. [Tese are] not the

things I was told to do and these were not

the orders I received as a soldier.

What they had learned during their nine-

month training period a volunteer eort

done concurrently while they attended uni-

versity, and rom which they were selectedout o about 150 applicants was that they

would expect to ind anti-Israel senti-

ments on college campuses throughout the

U.S. Seattle was no exception.

[We] read all kinds o materials that

were spread around the university terri-

ble, terrible things about the state o Israel,

about the IDF, Levi said. Ten you go and

you talk to people rom the Jewish com-

munity, and you expect them at least to

be supportive o Israel, the Israel that you

know and grew up in in t he past 25 years.

Tey were shocked, however, in the

instances that that was not the case.

People who barely visited Israel are

putting acts to your ace that they read

somewhere or some rumors that theyve

[heard] about, Levi said.

Tat included an event they attended

that eatured two Israeli Army reuseniks

strongly critical o its policies.

I couldnt believe that someone out

o my country, an Israeli girl at the age o

18told that to people, Levi said. Tese

people [that hear] that later on go to other

people and say, Yeah, we heard this

Israeli say and this and that and that.

Tats so wrong.

But expressing those senti ments to out-

siders wasnt all that was wrong, Levi said.

So were their acts, particularly in regard

to statements she said they made about

Israeli discrimination against women.

A lie that is told is still a lie, no matter

how many times you are telling it, Levi

said. [Tis reusenik] chose not to go

in the army, and Im a lieutenant in

the Israel Deense orces. Tere are a

number o women in the Israeli parlia-

ment more than in America. We had

a prime minister who was a woman. Our

head o the Knesset is a woman. Te

head o the Supreme Court is a woman.

Tats act. Its not what I think about it.

Dvir said he was disappointed that

their visit to the Kadima Reconstruc-

tionist Community was met with closed

minds.

Tey were very polite, but I elt all the

time while I was talking, they asked me, is

it trueabout Israelis torturing or kil ling,

orillegal orders o the Israeli soldiers

against the Palestinians, he said.Dvir said he never received orders he

elt were illegal or immoral, and that he

and his ellow soldiers would jeopardize

their own lives to keep civilians sae. His

response was greeted with disbelie.

I saw them looking among each other

and smiling, and in the end they told me,

Okay, maybe youre just saying hal the

truth, maybe youre lying, youre nave.

Its not whats going on there. What can

I say? I served there. Ive seen it, he said.

I elt like Im talking to someone who has

already made up his mind. Tey were very

polite, and they were very nice, but I elt

like they [didnt] come there to li sten.

Rainer Waldman Adkins, Kadimas

program di rector, said he didnt eel those

sentiments rom his congregants.

I did not get a sense that people were

telling them t hat they were nave or speak-

ing hal-truths, Adkins said. I heard

rom a number o Kadima people that t hey

really admired [Levi and Dvir] being there

and their comportment, sharing their sto-

ries and responding to people, and that

people appreciatedthat the two o them

had a more complex view o things than

might have been the stereoty pe.

sprucing up the limited number o com-

mercial areas in the city.

In the past we havent been able to

take advantage o it, and we cant aord

to do that anymore, he said.

Te our-year gap in Kaplans coun-

cil career came rom a scandal that

resulted in the resignation o the citys

appointed mayor Don Wasson in 2003.

Wasson was alleged to have stacked the

Des Moines council with candidates

who would have been in avor o build-

ing Seaacs thi rd runway, a position t he

city was rmly against. A developer who

had hoped to create a conveyor system

on the citys waterront to provide the

runways inll was alleged to have given

$1,000 to Wasson and $49,000 to the

three candidates campaigns, which

they narrowly won.

Te total expenditures or all nine city

council candidates in this years race was,

as o Oct. 21, less than $17,000.

When the expenditures were not led

with the states Public Disclosure Com-

mission, Kaplan said he led a complaint

that resulted in the investigation that led

to Wassons resignation.

Kaplan won reelection in 2005, and

he said the rst two years o this term

were spent xing the issues that had been

neglected during what had been a our-

year stalemate.

Kaplan considers himsel somewhat

active in the Jewish community he

attends Bet Chaverim, his hometown

synagogue, and has gone to events at Kol

HaNeshamah in West Seattle. He is a con-

tributor to the Federation campaign, and

going back a ways, he says, I belonged to

ZB back in school.

Kaplan took his rst tr ip to Israel about

a year and a hal ago.

I was so inspired I wound up writing

daily e-mails to mysel, keeping track o

what I did, he said.

Upon his return, Kaplan turned

those e-mails and his photos into a

small book, which he gave to amily and

riends.

He is also one o between 15 and 20

openly gay ocials that serve in Wash-

ington State. Its a position he hopes to

keep, or the sake o nishing a job he

and his ellow council members have

started.

Ive been blessed with two terms on

the council and Id like one more to be

able to complete the changes the city

needs to be able to survive in the long

run, Kaplan said.

Rivy PoupkoKletenik

JTNews

Columnist

Dear Rivy,

With the all holidays now over,

weve begun to read the orah rom

the beginning. Determined to have a

new beginning mysel, I attended ser-

vices on that frst Shabbat o the new

orah cycle. Following along the read-

ing I came across a very puzzling char-acter: Enoch. Ater Googling around, I

am still quite perplexed about him. Did

he die or not? What does it mean to be

taken by God? Is there another Enoch

who is in later books, such as the Book

o Enoch?

Given the almost unathomable

nature o the six days o creation, the

Garden o Eden and angels alling rom

heaven, I am impressed that you noticed

the diminutive episode o Enoch. I share

your curiosity and ind mysel oddly

drawn to Enoch as well. hough an

extremely minor character in the Bible,

he takes on an unoreseen second lie,

when he returns almost center stage in

the Second emple era to star in several

apocryphal and pseudepigraphal works,

including, o course, t he Book o Enoch.

He is a Zoharic mystical gure and

is listed in Derech Eretz Zuta as one o

those who entered the Garden o Eden

while yet alive. Actually, what with the

rumor o remarkable removal rom

this world, it is, ironically, quite tting

or him to enjoy a pronounced literary

comeback. Yet his name does not appear

in either o the almuds and the sages in

Bereshit Rabbah are quick to denounce

Enoch. He is ar rom perect and cer-

tainly not supernatural. he world

seems to be divided: Enoch devotees vs.Enoch detractors.

But we are getting ahead o ourselves.

Lets go to the source; time to open the

Enoch les. Consider the verses starting

rom the beginning o the th chapter

oBereshit. Notice that in this seemingly

methodical rote listing o one begat ater

another, there is a surprising, abrupt devi-

ation: Generation number seven. Here

we learn that Adam lives 930 years, Sheth

912, Enosh 905, Kenan 910, Mahalalel 895,

Jared 962, Enoch 365, Methuselah 969,

Lamech 777 and Noah 950 years. O the 10

generations, seven live into their 900s, one

into his 800s, and another into his 700s.

Yet Enoch lives a stunted 365 years, a

stark contrast and almost a third o that o

his own son, Methuselah, the longest-liv-

ing human ever. Te others listed have no

storyline, just quick data: How old at the

birth o their ch ild, how many years lived,

and then end o story. But suddenly, with

Enoch, our begat list is interrupted with

perhaps the shortest o short stories: And

Enoch walked with God, and he was not;

or God took him.

Tis terse tale has led to much spilled

ink, and or good reason. Our biblical ears

perk up when reading enigmatic expres-

sions such as Walked w ith God, And he

was not and God took him. Te parsing

o each individual phrase is the key to our

unlocking Enoch.

First, and Enoch walked with God.

He was the rst, but certainly not the

last to walk with God. We know o others

who walk with God. here is Noah,

then Abraham, whom God specically

instructs to walk with him but ends up

walking before God.

Walking beore God is something

decidedly dierent than walking with

God. According to Rabbi Amnon Bazak,

an Enoch detractor, there is walking and

there is walking. He theorizes that Enoch

walked with God, to the exclusion o

others and was thereore taken rom the

world beore his time. Noah, too, walked

with God without being involved with the

world around him and was secluded on

the ark while the rest o civilization per-

ished. It is only Abraham who walks beoreGod, as i showing the way or others and

can then become the patriarch o the

People Israel.

he expression and he was not

stands out or Dr. Avivah Zornberg. She

links this notion o einenu related to

the word, ein none and he was not

to the sale o Joseph, where the same

expression is used by brother Reuben,

and then later to Prophet Jeremiah

describing the weeping o Rachel or her

children, because they too were not.

Were not eels very dierent rom a

more denite and unequivocal expres-

sion, such as died.

Why say o Enoch that he was not, i

it could have been stated as directly as a ll

the others? Why the pronounced switch

to this demure poetic expression? Is our

say-it-like-it-is Bible going euphemisti-

cally Victorian?

Zornberg explains the phrase in her

book, Te Beginnings of Desire, it does and

does not mean death. All one can speak

o is the surprise, the shock, the specula-

tions, the hope, that not being evokes.

Enochs age should provoke us and wake

us up to the reality that even when the

numbers are drastically out o the ball-

park relative to our liespans, 365 is dying

young and that is not okay, even bibli-

cally speaking. It is riveting, poignant and

should eel as i it cannot quite be the na l-ity that the word death would bring. And

he was not. Enoch was not he was

taken beore his time.

he third phrase: Is there more to

being taken than decorous niceties?

here must be. he orah has no com-

punction o oering the ull rawness

o lie and the leaving o it. I the word

death could be used but was not, there

must be more going on. For some, it

conjures up Elijah like chariots o ire

and being translated up to the Divine

sphere. Apotheosis central, olks. Were

talking ull-scale transormation to an

all-spiritual being o an angelic nature.

Indeed, an early translation o the

orah, the argum Yonaton renders the

verse way beyond the basic removal to

Heaven and has Enoch becoming the

angel Metatron, the great scribe o the

upper world.

Tis being taken is the base upon

which all o the mystic legends o the

Second emple period are built. Tat this

very language being taken is used in

other biblical verses to describe uncom-

plicated everyday death is irrelevant to

those who wish to see here a supernatu-

ral mystical movement heavenward, cer-

tainly irrespective o staunch rabbinic

dismissal o such approaches.

Even trees have lie spans. But one

tree, a horse chestnut known to genera-

tions o teenagers the world over as the

only connection to the outside world or a

young woman in hiding during the Holo-

caust, is getting a new lie. Eleven new

lives, actually.

here was some talk o cutting it

down about a year or two years ago, and

there was a big uproar and protest, said

Ilana Kennedy, director o education at

the Washington State Holocaust Educa-

tion Resource Center.

When she began to read reports that

authorities in Amsterdam would take

cuttings rom this storied tree and grow

saplings so it could live on, Kennedy triedgure out a way to get one o those sap-

lings to Seattle.

I couldnt quite connect the dots on

what we could do with a tree, Kennedy

said. What was I going to do, plant it and

water it or something?

But then Kennedy, who said she has

a very black thumb, got a call rom the

Seattle Dept. o Parks and Recreation.

It turned out that the parks superin-

tendent had been paying attention to

the plight o the Anne Frank tree and

was hoping to bring one o the saplings

to Seattle as well. So one o the orest-

ers called Kennedy and made the con-

nection.

He was going to take care o it, they

were going to plant it, nd the place,

Kennedy said. We just had to come up

with the educational plan, which is what

they were looking or, which is what were

about anyway.

So Kennedy drew up the proposal to

the New York-based Anne Frank Center,

which had to show how the tree might

be used to teach tolerance and com-

memorate some event in that com-

munity that had displayed a type o

intolerance.

Te timing on this is actually quite

interesting, Kennedy said, because

what I proposed was I wanted the tree to

symbolize not just tolerance, and to be

a reminder in Seattle o this, but to also

commemorate the [Jewish Federation]

shooting that happened here in 2006.

Kennedy had testied in the Federa-

tion gunmans retrial the day she spoke

withJNews.

But more than memorialize the shoot-

ing at the Jewish Federation o Greater

Seattle itsel, she wanted to show how di-

erent groups within Seattles community

responded ater that tragedy.

I thought, thats what we want to

remember: What happens when we all

come together over something, she said.

So we put that in the proposal, along

with our educational plan on teachingabout the Holocaust and about teaching

tolerance.

Kennedy contacted several organiza-

tions both in and out o the Jewish com-

munity to sign on as supporters o the

application, and built a list that includes

the Washington State Jewish Histori-

cal Society, the Jewish Federation, the

Northwest Arican American Museum,

the Pride Foundation and others.

he Holocaust Center learned on

Oct. 16 that they would be one o 11 sites

in the U.S. to receive saplings rom the

tree. Other locations include the White

House, the Boston Common, Idahos

Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial,

branching otDying tree in ront o Anne Frank home to have rebirth in Seattle

and the National September 11 Memorial

& Museum in New York.

According to Yvonne Simons, exec-

utive director o the Anne Frank Center

USA, which decided upon the recipients

o the saplings, the Holocaust Centers

application was chosen both because

o the proposed site and your excellent

online resources to involve the commu-

nity and the act you have a Holocaust

speakers bureau, Simons said in a state-

ment. Your message o tolerance was

well received and compelling.

Simons also cited the Federation

shooting as a consideration.

Mark Mead, an urban orester who

works in the parks department, said they

decided upon Volunteer Park in Seattles

Capitol Hill neighborhood partly because

o its central location, but also because oits historical status as a John Olmsted-

designed park and the draw or the Asian

Art Museum and the conservatory. Te

tree will likely not need to acclimate to

Seattle weather.

Te species is very adapted to this

area, and theres no real consideration in

regard to [that] other than standard prep-

aration, Mead said.

Reports had stated that the saplings

at the 11 locations would be held under a

two-year quarantine beore being allowed

to take root, but in Seattles case at least,

the parks department has a workaround.

The sounds of a forgotten languageJoel MagalnickEditor, JTNews

Renowned Israeli singer Yasmin Lev y

has broken through as an international

sensation in part because o her album

Mano Suave, which is sung largely in the

Sephardic language o Ladino. Levy, the

daughter o well-known urkish com-

poser and cantor Yitzhak Levy, will make

a stop in Seattle next month as a part o

her rst U.S. tour. She connected with

JNews via e-mail.

JNews: Tough youve studied musicmost o your lie, was it your athers

Ladino music and cantorial record-

ings that inspired you to become a pro-

essional musician? What about your

mother?

Levy: I was inspired by both my ather

and my mother. My mom taught me how

to sing, but she always considered my dad

as the great teacher, even i I didnt really

know him. She always had me liste n to his

singing and told me how he would have

sung any particular song. W hen I decided

to see i I could become a singer, she used

to sing with me day and night until she

elt I was ready to step out as a singer. Te

unny thing is that I always thought that

as a daughter o two singers, I wouldnt be

able to become anywhere near as good as

they were.

JNews: When you began your musical

career, did you hope to have the oppor-

tunity to work as internationally as you

have?
