LETTER FROM JERUSALEM
Problems in U.S., Israel known; likely responses of leading candidates aren't
By Ira Sharkansky
 JERUSALEM—Perhaps no two democracies are so different in their size, wealth, government structures, and political cultures as the United States and Israel, but now their citizens are facing similar problems as they approach changes in key personnel.
Americans are dealing with two candidates having considerable experience (McCain and Biden), and two with virtually none (Obama and Palin). Trash masters can find a lot to ridicule in the statements and actions of McCain and Biden, and no end of gaps in those of Obama and Palin.
 Israeli trash managers can paw through several decades of in the records of the leading candidates for heading the government after Ehud Olmert hangs up his expensive suits and puts away his prized fountain pens, and turns full time to his lawyers and the police. There are no Israeli equivalents of the novices contending for leading positions in American government.
The major similarities concern the serious nature of problems facing both countries, and the lack of certainty as to how each of the candidates will deal with them. Both McCain and Obama have spoken about the issues associated with the area from Iraq through Iran to Afghanistan. Yet no one can indicate what each would do after taking office, when the dynamics produce constant change in the composite of problems.
Iran will also trouble whoever occupies the central seat at Israel's government table, along with problems out of Syria, Lebanon, and the two Palestines. There are talks underway with Syria and Palestine of the West Bank. All the signs are that there will remain a great deal for the new government to do in both cases, as well as to keep the military prepared for whatever may develop in those places, as well as in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.
There is much to criticize in the collection of candidates of both countries. McCain's age and health raise questions not assuaged by a long history of presidential physicians evading the truth about their patients. One can hope that Obama and Palin are not as naive as we are led to believe. Those of us on the outside depending on American wisdom have good reasons to worry.
Unless there is a event dramatic enough to provoke a military response, Israel seems destined for several months of shuffling in place without a strong national leadership.
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is poised to assume the leadership of the Kadima party in a primary later this month. She may not be able to create a new government, and the result would be a national election early in 2009. Until there is a new government in place, we may be saddled with Prime Minister Olmert, unless the attorney general decides that the police have produced enough evidence for an indictment, and he must leave office. Meanwhile, Olmert may be offering concessions to the Palestinians beyond what any of the candidates to replace him would accept. Wags are saying that he wants to garner more praise in the history books than in those of the police.
Tzipi Livni is not Barack Obama. She grew up with two politically active parents, and has held senior positions in government since 1996. For the past year she has been a key negotiator with the Palestinians. Occasionally she has indicated her reservations about what Olmert is offering, but she has not clarified what she would accept. When asked, she responds that the negotiations must remain out of the media in order to succeed.
Her most appealing quality is a reputation free of deals on the edge of legality, or over the edge, like those identified with Olmert and each of her principal rivals: Shaul Mofaz, Ehud Barak, and Benyamin Netanyahu.
She has a reputation for indecisiveness. The public has little basis of judging how she would react to a middle of the night telephone call about a crisis, requiring a quick response.
None of this is unusual for the politics of democratic societies. Voters have limited capacity to select the nominees of major parties. We often select the least undesirable candidate rather than anyone we can assume will solve the country's problems. Voters naive enough to think otherwise may not realize that the candidates themselves cannot indicate how they will respond to events not yet apparent, or how they will deal with advisors and other politicians who have their own interests.
We hope for the best, even if we have no reason to expect it.
JERUSALEM DIARIES
Unusual Ramadan ceremonies in
Jerusalem; lifesaving at the Dead Sea
By Judy Lash Balint
 JERUSALEM, September 1— Tonight, Jerusalem's Haredi Mayor, Uri Lupolianski, will go over to the walls of the Old City and fire up the cannon that marks the beginning of the month-long Ramadan festival.
Even in Israel, it's hard to find a stranger spectacle...
Lupo (as he is affectionately known) will be joined by Rajai Yehye Sandouka in setting off the ceremonial shot. Sandouka is the latest in a long line of family members dating back to Ottoman rule in the early 20th century who have fired the traditional cannon.
Last year Sandouka said the tradition might be in jeopardy. He told journalists that Israeli officials had ordered him to undergo explosives training before this Ramadan or he would be barred from lighting the fuse. We're all waiting with baited breath...
Next week, a few miles east of Jerusalem, another off-beat event will take place down by the Dead Sea. Magen David Adom--Israel's version of the Red Cross, will host the Second Annual MDA Olympics.
According to the MDA PR spokesperson: "Teams from the Israeli Army and international emergency services from Turkey, Canada, Ireland, England, Holland, Norway, USA, Germany, The Czech Republic, France, Jordan and Poland will compete in 11 stations of treatment and safety, including one at night, during which they will have to deal with various scenes that will test their capabilities for giving correct treatment responses, medical response for victims of a mass casualty incident, treatment for conventional and non conventional incidents and also giving life saving treatment to patients and victims with problems in the fields of trauma, cardiology, children, respiratory emergencies etc.
The judges will measure, estimate and grade the capabilities and professional expertise of the competitors in the different categories.
This year there will also be a number of amazing and challenging stations in which the medics and paramedics will have to show their determination, physical fitness and ability to work under difficult conditions."
Teams will have to get to some "patients" by camel; others will have to be treated in Bedouin tents; and one scenario asks participants to administer aid to a biblical figure who experiences symptoms of a heart attack...Winners get a certificate and a pat on the back at the closing ceremonies at Kibbutz Ein Gedi on September 10--stay tuned.
THE JEWISH CITIZEN
Beth Am picnics on the green
By Donald H. Harrison
 SAN DIEGO—Given the commitment of its rabbis and members to protecting the earth, it was perhaps not surprising that Congregation Beth Am chose to picnic on the green—at a park adjacent to Ashley Falls Elementary School in the Carmel Valley section of San Diego.
"Go Green," providing practical tips on what individuals might do to help preserve the environment, is a regular section of the congregation's weekly email Shabbat Shalom newsletter, noted Beth Licha, a congregant, who said she is quite enthusiastic about the tips it provides.
"About three weeks ago, it had a suggestion that we all contact SDG&E to find out about its free air heater testing program," she said. "SDG&E will check the efficiency of your heater, even clean it, and replace your old filter with a new 'green' filter. I'm definitely going to call them."
Furthermore, said Licha, who attended the picnic with husband Jeff and 2-year-old son Jack, the synagogue on another occasion "collected monitors and other kinds of electronics that you just can't bring to the dump" and arranged for the recycling. "And," she added, "I went to the synagogue last year when they started the program and I got grocery bags with the synagogue's logo that Jimbo's had donated, and I use them now whenever I go shopping."
Sam Schulman, one of the students in the congregation's Jewish Learning Center, told me he also is motivated by the "green" message the congregation teaches. "I turn off electricity at home," he said. Does that mean he watches less television? He nodded, but added: "I really don't like television that much anyway."
As choir director and teacher Elisheva Edelsohn sang Israeli songs in the background, Rabbi David Kornberg, the senior rabbi of the Conservative congregation, told me that the congregation's Green Committee was one of three groups that had become particularly active recently, along with the Israel Committee and the Social Action Committee.
 
'
He praised Assistant Rabbi Matthew Earne and board vice president Nina Brodsky for their leadership of the committee, which was in evidence at the Labor Day picnic with a "Go Green" sign near the most popular place at the picnic--the barbecue table--and via a bin for recycling plastic water bottles.
Earne later told me that this is the second year the Green Committee has been operation. "It began because a couple of congregants and I realized that there are things going on in this world that we need to be partners in changing, especially since there is a call for us to promote such Jewish values as taking care of the earth and not wasting," he said.
 On one occasion when the committee was meeting at the Greenery, a local organic vegan restaurant, members decided that printing environmental tips in the newsletter was a fine service, but that this year the congregation needed "to start not just preaching but modeling as a synagogue those values," Earne (at left) said. A task force was created to determine what the synagogue could do to be more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. It came up with 40 suggestions, which later were prioritized.
Among the suggestions were to purchase more efficient air filters "to reduce the amount of dust that comes into the synagogue," Earne said. "If there is less dust, you need less resources for vacuuming and cleaning."
Additionally, "We are getting new vacuum cleaners, we are getting new mats, and we are going to be changing all our cleaning suppplies so that they are made from environmentally frieendly materials," Rabbi Earne continued.
One of the the synagogue's better known programs is its "Rockin' Shabbat" at which congregants are invited to enjoy music and dancing after the services. This year, said Earne, "one of our evenings will be dedicated to a 'green' meal and along with it we will distribute guidelines on how people can prepare and present that meal."
Earne said the congregation hewed to its ethical values while it was preparing for the Labor Day barbecue. Noting that some meat-packing plants have been under investigation lately for exploitative labor practices, he said the synagogue instructed its approved kosher caterers to avoid using products from those plants, until the problems are satisfactorily resolved.
On tap next year will be "a green fair for Tu B'Shevat," Earne said. The congregation also hopes to have a presentation for its school children on how endangered species are being protected in San Diego, and what lay people can do to help in that effort.
Surveilling people who were eating kosher hotdogs and hamburgers as well as veggie burgers, and watching pre-schoolers and their parents meeting their teachers, Rabbi Kornberg commented that the Labor Day picnic was a "great way to start off the year with enjoyment and celebration. We will be serious soon enough with the High Holidays, so here we can start with the fun!"
LETTERS
Editor, San Diego Jewish World
I very much enjoyed The Reluctant Martyr. Sheila Orysiek's writing was easy to read and her story well developed. I especially liked how I was swept up in the story and could not wait for the next chapter!
Hannah was a very complex character who did what she had to do to survive, but had a difficult time getting outside of herself. At times I wanted to shout at her not to be so selfish and petty, particularly to kind-hearted Etah. I could also understand that Hannah went from a life of wealth and ease
to having to support her family at a very young age. She was definitely not prepared for her life in America, and every time things were good, some horrible event occurred. The plot included many life lessons and the consequences of how we chose to deal with situations.
Hannah, like many of us could not let go of her anger and jealousy and let those around her, love her and she love them. In the end she was alone. I liked trying to figure out which character was author Orysiek.
Not only was her story full of great lessons for all readers, but she has written a beautiful, family history narrative for her son and grandson
Thank you for sharing your story.

MUSIC OF OUR PEOPLE
Adon Olam: The Max Jankowski version
By Cantor Sheldon Merel
 SAN DIEGO—The Adon Olam’s charming melody from my CD, Standing Ovation, was borrowed from a lively Chassidic folk melody originally set for the Kaddish.
Chicago composer, Max Janowski, arranged it for cantor, choir and orchestra, and it was recorded “live” at the Copley Concert Hall as part of an Interfaith Concert, Blended Voices where I was featured Tenor Soloist with Congregation Beth Israel’s choir (where I served as the cantor from 1979-1992).
We were accompanied by the former Jewish Community Center Symphony Orchestra of San Diego , (now the Tifereth Israel Community Orchestra) under the direction of David Amos.
The simplicity of Adon Olam’s text and the depth of its religious content havw made it very popular as a congregational hymn at the end of worship services, and many different melodies have been written for it through the centuries. It is attributed to the eleventh century Spanish poet, Solomon ibn Gabirol, and has been part of the daily prayer book since the 15th century.
To hear this lively and charming arrangement of Adon Olam on your computer, click the underlined name of the song in the headline of my column. The archive page bearing my name will have links to each song that will become subjects of my "Music of Our People" column. As time goes on, our intent is that we will compile a library of Liturgical, Folk, Oratory, and concert songs from the great treasure house of Jewish Music through the ages to present time.
In future columns for San Diego Jewish World, I will try to bring to you for your listening enjoyment both music and background stories. Incidentally, I was honored to have this recording of Adon Olam from my CD, “Standing Ovation,” recently included in the “American Conference of Cantors’ Jubilee 50th Anniversary two- disk CD, which featured several leading cantors throughout North America.
Translated into English, the Adon Olam hymn tell us that: "The Lord of all reigned supreme, framing first creation. When all was finished by His will, His name Almighty was proclaimed. When this, our world shall be no more, in majesty He still shall reign. He who was, who is, and who will remain, His endless glory we proclaim. Alone is He, beyond compare, without division or ally, without initial date or end.
Omnipotently, He rules on high. He is my God, my Savior He, to whom I turn in sorrow's hour. My banner proud, my refuge sure, He hears and answers with His power. Then in His hand myself I lay, and trusting sleep, I awaken with cheer. My soul and body are His care. The Lord does guard, I have no fear."
HEART-TO- HEART
One of Jewish San Diego's favorite
columnists walks—and writes!—again
By Gert Thaler
 SAN DIEGO, August 30—I got out of bed this morning and walked across the room at my usual pace. I stood before the bathroom mirror washing my teeth, then combed my hair. I have lived for the past several months with the usual morning routine of swallowing seven different medications, and completing the task, using the inhaler and walking out to the computer room to check the morning e mail.
And then it suddenly struck me!
I got out of bed this morning and walked across the room at my usual pace.
I got out of bed this morning and walked across the room!
The action was certainly not “at my usual pace” whatever I thought that was.
Having spent four weeks in Sharp’s Metropolitan Hospital plus two more weeks in Sharp’s Rehab Facility in Point Loma and coming home to my oh-so welcome bed only to find that I still had to rely on nursing care for another month was enough of an adjustment.
For the entire medical facilities stay I had relied on professionals to physically support me as I attempted to stand on my feet. Moving one foot in front of the other became a daily challenge. Without the use of either a human “walker” or a mechanical one, I was unable to leave my bed. It would take three more weeks before I found I could manage what I had always taken so much for granted in walking around my two-bedroom apartment. The challenge to go from room to room on my own was just not possible.
Or so it was, until this past week when I found myself standing in my kitchen fixing my breakfast and able to stand at the counter for at least 10 minutes before falling into a chair.
Standing at the bathroom mirror and trying to comb my hair and put on eye makeup proved to be a far greater no-no and I had to sit down in between eyebrow and eyelash enhancement. Earrings, necklace and two rings were done from the safety of a chair.
Only recently I was able to drive again--something I was not sure I would do for a much longer waiting period. Getting down to the garage was an adventure itself since I used the walker for support and learned how to fold it and toss it into the trunk. I had bought a second walker, a smaller and lighter model than the one I had upstairs with a seat in the middle that allowed me to stop and rest when needed.
Now I leave the smaller one in the car to be removed once I am out and in need of it.
But you know the old adage, “Practice Makes Perfect.” It has never been proven so true, at least to me, as I made the progressive stretch from complete dependency on others for my well being to what has happened today as I got out of bed and walked across the room at my usual pace.
And to my great surprise it never crossed my mind that I was actually doing just that.
With no assistance, alone in the apartment, I walked at my usual pace.
And now late in the afternoon I am continuing the pattern.
In these weeks that have passed I have become more conscious of people who are wheelchair captives, those who use the different versions of walkers and people who lean on the handle of a cane for support as they walk. My empathy has become awakened by their plight because I keep remembering how I have traveled from complete dependency until my being able to easily walk across the room.
The real shock to me came only a couple of hours ago. I suddenly took notice of the fact that the walker was still in the same position I had left it only yesterday and for the last five hours since getting out of bed I had been walking through room after room, taking a shower, applying makeup, making breakfast and searching the refrigerator for lunchtime. And all without a pause.
I am indeed “Born Again.” So overjoyed I dressed and attended Shabbat services to silently proclaim my achievement.
I do not need to share such a simcha with anyone else. Enough that the feat was accomplished by my determination to be back on track. Doctors had assured me today would come and even gave me a timetable but to me it was unrealistic.
But you know what? Those doctors really do know what they are talking about, and above all the ones I patronize really do know what they are doing.
|
Beginning on May 1st my left knee kept buckling under and I could not predict for several more days when I would simply go down. Until the day I was lunching with my friend, Mao Shillman who caught me and virtually had to shove me into her car. A call to my own Dr. Simon Ritchkin alerted Sharp’s emergency room and within two days Dr. Sam Badadarian was at my bedside explaining to my family about the TIA stroke and subsequent surgery which was successful. My downfall came about due to my usual non-resistance to pneumonia which turned me into a hospital resident for four long weeks.
No, I am not running a marathon yet. Probably won’t because I never did.But I am standing at the clothes dryer folding laundry which I never looked upon as an enjoyable chore. And I find I am able to do that easily because I got out of bed and walked across the room at my usual pace.

San Diego Birdie Stodel B’nai Brith Chapter No. 92
From Southwestern Jewish Press, December 30, page 6
By Bess Borushek
Our chapter’s semi-annual initiation of new members will take place on Jan. 9, 1950 at Temple Center. Preceding the impressive ceremonies of initiation, a special turkey luncheon will be served at 12 noon. It is being sponsored in honor of the initiates by the following board members: Ruth Brav, Bess Borushek, Jeanne Camiel, Betty Friedman, Sarah Geller, Marie Richards, Bess Schisell, Anne Shelley, Jennie Siner, Celia Schwartz, and Esther Schwartz. Chairman of the luncheon proper is Bess Borushek with Ruth Brav, Betty Freedman and Marie Richards acting as co-chairmen. The degree team in charge of the initiation ceremonies are Jennie Siner and Anne Shelley.
Proceeds of this luncheon will help to meet our second half of quota assessments. By paying our assessments in full as quickly as possible, we will be enabled to concentrate our efforts on over-scriptions, particularly on our “B’nai B’rith in Israel” and our “Hillel” projects, both of which demand intensified action at the present time.
Note to our members and friend: Have you recently celebrated or are about to celebrate some joyous occasion such as an anniversary, birthday, Bar Mitzvo or arrival of a new baby in the family? Or are you thankful for recovery of a painful illness or would you like to honor the memory of a dear departed one? Then could there be a more practical and inexpensive way of memorializing a joyous or sad event than by placing a book in our Hillel library? This book of Jewish theme will be of incalculable value not only to our own boys and girls but the means of spreading sympathetic knowledge and tolerance among the non-Jewish students who are given the privilege of using our Jewish library. Call Ruth Brav, Hillel co-chairman at T-3404 and she will be happy to get your donation of a book for the Hillel Library. Proper acknowledgment to all concerned will be made immediately.
Senior Pioneer (Negba) Club
From Southwestern Jewish Press, December 30, page 6
The Dinner and Card Party held at Temple Center by the Senior Pioneer Women was a marked success, both financially and socially. Mrs. Eleanor Gordon, president of the Senior Pioneer Women, wishes to take this means to thank her workers, the merchants, the guests who attended the dinner, and everyone who made this affair such a success.
On January 15, 1950, Sunday evening, a group of ladies known as the Tuesday Nite Group, will sponsor a card party which will benefit the Moatz Hapolot and the Child Rescue Fund.
The sponsors for this affair are the Mesdames Anna Esenoff, Florence Lebb, Eva Fagelson, Anna Fagelson, Bertha Feinberg, Lillian Pearl, Elizabeth Sheinberg, Sadie Gralnick, Celia Berkouf and Rose Price.
The community is urged to attend this card party, where delicious refreshments will be served during the course of the evening, and help support the very worthwhile projects in Israel of the Pioneer Women.
Hadassah
From Southwestern Jewish Press, December 30, 1949, page 6
The San Diego Chapter of Hadassah has scheduled a very important and interesting event for the community on Saturday, January 21st when the group will show an Israel-made motion picture on one of Hadassah’s most important projects, “Youth Aliyah.”
This highly interesting picture will be shown at the Herbert Hoover High school Auditorium, 4474 El Cajon Blvd., and will start promptly at 8:40 p.m.
Mrs. Albert Krasnow, Youth Aliyah Chairman for the local Hadassah group, announces that the charge will be only what a picture show would cost, seventy-five cents plus tax. Mrs. Krasnow also states that there will be a companion picture well worth seeing.
A special invitation is extended everyone by President Mrs. Gabriel Berg to see this “Youth Aliyah” picture, to see where a portion of the funds are used that Hadassah raises each year.
The annual Premiere that Hadassah is planning will take place in late February or early March. Watch these columns for the date and place.
Because Hadassah Premiere Chairman Mrs. Manny Hafner joins all members in attempting to bring outstanding entertainment to San Diego for this annual fund-raising event, a change in the date was necessary. In a short time plans will be complete and the announcement of the date and place for this Fourth Annual Hadassah Premiere will be made.
Hadassah in San Diego hopes that the community will give the same fine support to this major fund-raising affair that they have given in the past.
