I congratulate Rabbi Kinberg on her insightful column (We need to let the world know how we really feel about Israel, Oct. 28). She is correct to observe that a millennia-long connection to the land of Israel, and contemporary caring about the future of the Jewish State, are key themes that unite Jews everywhere in the world. Whatever ones political position, as Jews, we share these connections to the land, the state, and the people of Israel. Israel is by no means perfect, but its the only Jewish state we have. Thank you, Rabbi Kinberg, for your support and love for Israel, and for bringing the community together around this love and support. nevet Basker Bellevue

stories that each side has created about it. A real healing process has the possibility of success not when either side expects the other to recognize the totality of its story any longer, but when each is able to shift its perspective slightly and acknowledge the truth of just one aspect, a sliver that 1 percent of the others narrative. Indeed, this is not only the work of a countrys leaders; it must begin with each of us. What are the beliefs, the positions we are wedded to in our own lives? What are the stories we are bound to that are reflected by the resentments, upsets, and anger we experience when these stories are
challenged? What is it we know ourselves to be so right about that we are unable to hear a different point of view? We too must become aware of our entrenched attachment to our stories, to question our assumptions, and gently open ourselves to hear different perspectives. Isaac and Ishmael were able to forgive. They came to recognize that the historical circumstances of their lives did not have to determine their future. For the democratic values that Israel holds dear, and all peoples in the Middle East, I pray that we, too, will awaken to this recognition.

Association. Less than two weeks after the pogrom, the YWCA established a Committee on Refugees, which undertook information campaigns aimed at persuading the public that refugees were loyal and hardworking. Unfortunately, the YWCAs national board soon lost interest in the project and declined to fund it. According to Professor Haim Genizi, the American Jewish Committee ended up providing much of the committees budget. Christian Scientists, although small in number, had the opportunity to exercise influence through their mass-circulation newspaper, the Christian Science Monitor. But true to their churchs emphasis on the potential of prayer to heal all ills, the Monitors editors argued that in response to Kristallnacht, prayer...will do more than any amount of ordinary protests to heal the hate released in the last few days and to end injustices and excesses practiced in the name of anti-Semitism. The Monitor did acknowledge that finding havens for [the] refugees was a necessity, but refrained from suggesting that America should serve as one of those havens. One of the few consistently strong Christian voices in the aftermath of
Kristallnacht was that of U.S. Sen. William King of Utah, a former missionary who was arguably the most prominent Mormon in America at the time. While President Roosevelt only recalled the U.S. ambassador from Germany temporarily for consultations, Senator King urged the administration to completely break off U.S. diplomatic relations with Hitler. While FDR said that liberalization of Americas immigration quotas was not in contemplation, King introduced legislation to open Alaska to Jewish refugees. Sadly, Senator Kings initiatives attracted almost no support from Americas churches. The response of most Christian leaders to Kristallnacht, like the response of the Roosevelt administration and most of the American public, was, in the words of Professor Henry Feingold, no more than a strong spectator sympathy for the underdog.
Dr. Rafael Medoff is director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, which focuses on issues related to Americas response to the Holocaust. The material in this article is based on the Wyman Institutes ongoing research project on American Christian responses to the Holocaust.

about a month, Lipman added. The plaintiffs discussed a number of ways to address the boycott, said Rob Jacobs, executive director of the Israel advocacy organization StandWithUs Northwest. One was a lawsuit. I certainly expected [the defendants] would respond to it, Jacobs said. But he said the decision for the co-op board members to use the Center for Constitutional Rights surprised him. Frankly, what you have here are a bunch of activists in Olympia talking to everyone they could to counter the opposition of a boycott that was done in violation of procedures, he said. In the second case, the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, on behalf of the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign, has filed a notice with the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to appeal a summary judgment issued by Federal Judge Richard A. Jones in favor of King County. Late last year the county cancelled advertisements that would have appeared on a dozen Metro buses in Seattle from December 2010 to January 2011. Following a strong protest and citing security concerns, King County executive Dow Constantine cancelled the ads and the county later changed its rules to not allow political speech in its advertising. Jones cited the countys decision as viewpoint-neutral and therefore protected SeaMACs speech. The ACLU and SeaMAC disagreed. There was a contract to run the ads that had been accepted under the countys existing policy for running ads, and we havent seen a compelling reason not to run the ads, Doug Honig, the ACLUs communications director, told JTNews. I dont understand why this topic,
and most particularly criticism of Israel, should be singled out among all other things for censorship, said Edward Mast, a spokesperson for SeaMAC. People have said certain kinds of Israel criticism are not appropriate for this forum. Its a major setback for free speech generally and for this topic in particular. The wording of the ad was carefully chosen by the organization, according to Mast. War crimes is a specific legal meaning, he said. It met the conventions of King County, such as they were. Jacobs of StandWithUs Northwest said that when the ads were originally scheduled to run, his organization and several others pointed to the 2006 shooting at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and the increased security at Jewish organizations since that time, and because of that sensitivity the ads did have a potential to cause a disruption to bus service or harm to Seattles Jewish community. We asked them to go back and look at this again in light of our concerns and about security for the Jewish community, Jacobs said. StandWithUs is not a party to this appeal. Though in its defense the county presented a handful of possible threats to disrupt bus service from people who said they were Jewish, which Jones cited in his brief, Mast noted that law enforcement had not followed up on the people who had made the threats. As far as the ACLU is concerned, however, the message is not an issue Honig said the ACLU of Washington has not taken a position on the Israeli-Palestinian

Guilt-free gelt
eMily k. alHadeff Assistant Editor, JTNews
Maybe youve felt guilty after eating through too many of those yellow mesh bags of chocolate gold coins during Hanukkah. Now heres something else to feel guilty about: Your chocolate gelt might have child slavery at its source. According to the U.S. Department of State, at least 100,000 children work in the cocoa industry in the Ivory Coast, where approximately 40 percent of the worlds chocolate comes from. Ten percent of those children are enslaved or trafficked. Fifty percent of that chocolate is eaten in the United States. Despite the illegality of child labor and slavery, the practice persists due to lack of governmental regulation and accountability. These practices occur in other countries such as Ghana and Cameroon as well. Fair-trade chocolate and coffee campaigns have long been on activists radars, but until now they have never affected the Festival of Lights. The goal with this is to have no Jewish organization buy gelt with child slavery [involved] said Robert Beiser, campus director at the social justice organization Repair the World at Hillel at the University of Washington. And were starting with the Seattle Jewish community. Beiser calls himself a Jewish abolitionist. He works with the Not for Sale campaign and Freedom Shabbat, national programs that bring awareness to modern-day slavery. Beiser, along with the Kavana Cooperative, is at the forefront of what is officially known as the Fair Trade Gelt Campaign. As a people that reminds ourselves every year...that we were once slaves in the land of Egypt, its paramount that we lead around the world, Beiser said. Its about the core Jewish narrative, said Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum, Kavanas executive director. Nussbaum pointed out that buying fair-trade gelt is not exactly the point. Rather, it is thinking about the food we eat and kashrut as a broader, more ethical system. The campaign is in step with others in the larger Jewish community, like the new Tav HaYosher ethical kashrut movement. Beiser said the campaign has two components: One is rewarding the companies that have taken on the extra responsibilities of ethically sourcing their cocoa, and the other is asking large companies to change their policies. Kate Koester, Kavanas social justice chair, said Kavana has always been interested in local food issues, and fairtrade chocolate was a subject on members minds. She connected with Beiser when they planned a Freedom Shabbat at Kavana last April. For last years [Hanukkah] party we ended up using Equal Exchange small rectangular bars, wrote Koester by email, referring to a popular brand of fair-trade products. No foil. No mesh bags. We posted a sign next to the Equal Exchange bars about why this gelt was different. It raised attention, but people still missed the silver foil discs. So, that is why the issue of the difficulty of finding fair trade gelt was brought up again during the Freedom Shabbat. Koester, Kavana and Beiser approached Seattle-based Theo Chocolate to ask them for a new product line.

Kara Jackson, robert Beiser and michelle Bromberg campaign for fair-trade chocolate on the UW campus.
They were very responsive, Koester said. She said Theo fair-trade gelt is due to hit shelves in time for Hanukkah 2012. A Theo spokesperson said the company could not confirm the new line until December of this year. In the meantime, fair-trade gelt can be found through Divine Chocolates (www.divinechocolate.com) and Sweet Earth Chocolates (sweetearthchocolates. com). Divine Chocolates gelt are certified kosher. Now the time has come for the inevitable question: How much more expensive
is fair-trade chocolate than the standard? Coin by coin, one Divine chocolate costs 27, a 17 premium over the generic gelt. In other words, the fair-trade brand costs about 270 percent more than the non-fairtrade brand. But when you buy the cheaper gelt, youre missing out on an opportunity to free someone from slavery, Beiser said. To give children in West Africa an education...youre saving someone who could have been abused and kept in bondage.

We have children who will be playing with the gelt, Koester said. And we dont want our children to play with chocolate that was made by child slaves. That perpetuates the issue of slavery. Could it really be that simple? Beiser said the issues are complicated, but yes. He explained that profits from fairly traded chocolate go back to the communities, where organizations monitor the exploitation of children. Because of this reinvestment, children who were once enslaved are now free, and in school. The easiest way to think about it from
a Jewish perspective is to compare it to Jewish law, Beiser said. Kashrut is complicated and expensive, but most Jewish organizations will take on the expense, because its the ethical, responsible thing, he said. Beiser pointed out another important angle: Fair trade chocolate tastes better. It uses higher-quality cocoa and omits artificial ingredients. The result is a richer, more satisfying chocolate than the traditional waxy coins. While everyone believes chocolate can be easy to rally around, they acknowledge the campaign wont change minds right away. This is going to be a long-term project,
Nussbaum said, one that provides opportunities for collaborative partnerships across the community and the denominations. She plans to start with the local Jewish infrastructure and the Washington Coalition of Rabbis and, of course, to start engaging people with the chocolate itself. It might take a while, but its necessary for Jewish people to do, Beiser said. Thinking about how much change can we make, Koester said, Hanukkah is a time for miracles.

conflict. The appeal is based solely on the policy that Honig said was not honored and a victory, should the case come to trial, would not overturn King County rules. Lawful free speech that exists under lawful policy was suppressed because it caused controversy, Honig said. In a statement, the ACLU of Washingtons executive director Kathleen Taylor said it is precisely because the ads were controversial that they should be protected. Mild speech doesnt need protection, she said. It is when we are faced with controversial speech, speech that is upsetting to some people, that support of the First Amendment is most important. Linda Thielke, communications director for the King County Department of Transportation, could not comment because she said had not yet seen the suit.
Seattle teens say going to Alexander Muss High School in Israel was the best thing theyve ever done
Despite the fact that she had been to Israel before, Rachel Greene said the time she spent at Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) this past summer was the most amazing experience she has ever had. Greene, a junior at Interlake High School, said the AMHSI program was so much more meaningful than when she visited Israel for two weeks in 8th grade because this time she was living the experience, staying in a dorm on campus, not just visiting as a tourist. We learned both in the classroom and at the actual sites where history took place, often reenacting historical events where they occurred, which was a great way to learn. I understand so much more about the Middle East now and why it is important to support Israel, Greene said. Lauren Schechter, now a senior at Garfield High School, who returned with the same intense emotional attachment to Israel also reflected on the connections she had made to her classmates. When you go through such an amazing experience with a group of people, it bonds you in a way nothing else can, Schechter said. Nick Alkan, a 17 year old from Bellevue who attended the program during the spring semester in 2010, reflected on how AMHSI affected him. I really wasnt that social before and now I have a ton of friends because the AMHSI staff encouraged me to reach out to people in a way I had never done before. This past summer, I even got a job as a camp counselor at a Jewish camp in West Virginia with a group of kids I went to Israel with, said Alkan. According to Kathy Yeyni, Director of Admissions, what sets the program apart is that AMHSI is a pluralistic high school academic experience, which means there is a mix of reform, conservative and orthodox teens that enroll. Students receive high school credits and may be eligible to earn college credits as well. Sessions are offered throughout the school year and in the summer. Yeyni said those who attend during the school year continue with their secular studies on the Hod Hasharon campus in Israel, keeping them up to date academically upon their return to the states.

The black hat that got away: are you really what you wear?
MaRtin Jaffee JTNews Columnist
One Shabbos morning, during that rainy spring of 2011, I was late for shul. In a rush, I grabbed my hat out of the closet and, clutching my brand new Shabbos cane (a gift from my brother, the Chassid, who urged me to use it in good health!), I trundled off through the mists to shul. Upon arrival, as is my custom, I went immediately to the wash basin in the lobby to rinse my hands for prayer. After these ablutions, I glanced in the mirror and was struck dumb by shock: Staring back at me was a Haredi Yid, adorned with a high-crowned, widebrimmed, Black Hat. He looked at me, and I looked at him, I nodded to my right and he to his left, our simultaneously opposite motions like something out of a Charlie Chaplin or Harpo Marx mirror-skit. What was going on? Where did this resh mesivta (Yeshiva principal) come from, and why was he impersonating a shnook like me? Then I figured it out. In my rush out of the house I had grabbed the wrong hat. Instead of my usual snap-brimmed black fedora (with sporty feather), I had grabbed the wrong lid, a big, black, Borsalino Yeshivish Special. One problem solved and another opened: Knowing now that the guy in the hat was me, I was left with a greater puzzle how had this staple of Yeshivish male frumkeit found its way into my hall closet in the first place? Our Shabbos guests tend to be of the modern Orthodox persuasion; their black hats are normally berets or unintimidating fedoras like my own. Some wear Greek sailors caps. Others wear leather. No one dresses up like a kollelnik from Boro Park to eat chez Jaffee on a Shabbos trust me! So where did this elegant and regal chapeau come from? I still have no idea. But the whole event set off a train of nostalgic reflection on the shaping of my own Jewish identity as represented by head gear. May I share it with you? Even after my fervent baal teshuvahdom of the mid-80s, I didnt feel authentic enough to deserve a black hat until sometime around 1994 or 1995 about the time I got my first black suit (which, it seems, came with a dandruff attachment I may have had the flakes before then, but Id never noticed). But unlike the common type of baal teshuvah, who desires to overcome his blemished background by slavish imitation of the style of the surrounding Jews of the community, I a professor, after all felt compelled to use the common tradition of dress to forge a unique personal Jewish style. I use the term forge in full understanding that it can mean to mis-represent a copy as the real thing! I went downtown to Banana Republic and bought a black Australian outback hat with a leather band. I was so in love with that hat! But when I showed up in shul that Friday night looking like a cowboy at a Chassidic Bar Mitzvah, only the kindly rabbi (whose identity I shall protect here) acknowledged my bad taste and good intentions with a nod: Very nice hittl! he told me. I wore that hittl on Shabbos for about three years. It took me that long to realize how foolish I looked in it! Now I only wear it at rodeos, of which as is well-known I am a pious devotee. Predictably, as the fervent days of baal teshuvahdom cooled into the rote and automatic rhythms of true religion and as I realized that Id never be a model of Jewish sainthood, anyway I loosened up on my Jewish fashion statements, as I did in other matters, such as holov yisroel (Jewish-supervised dairy). Ive ditched the black suit (which I always hated), then moved on to a herring-bone blazer (a professor after all!), and now prefer Hawaiian shirts (for Shabbos and weddings yontiff is another tale). As for hats, I shifted to a Greek cap for cold, windy weather, and, for rainy day protection, the aforementioned black fedora (a pork pie, you should pardon the expression). For summer wear, each year, I keep planning to buy a straw hat, but summer is always over in Seattle before I get around to it. So when its really ferociously hot (in the low 80s) I just wear my yarmulke (still plain black velvet Im proud of my roots!). I think part of the shock I felt when I got to shul that particular Shabbos, with that Borsalino perched rakishly on my head, was this I recognized in that hat the range of Jewish life that I might have lived, but had not. Because I simply couldnt. And you know what? Bittersweet as the moment was, I felt comforted by that fact. In my zeal to make myself over into a model of Orthodox Judaism, I had not become frum, nor even mildly pious in any common terms. But I had succeeded, in a way I hadnt anticipated, in making a Yiddishkeit of my own which now fits me more perfectly than any store-bought model!

Everything in Alanas is a treasure something exquisitely beautiful that cant be found anywhere else. People come to Alanas to find something different, says owner Alana Fornoni. They dont want something someone picked out of a catalogue or something all their friends have. They also would like to know the story behind the piece. Alana is happy to share that story, if she knows it. But she has observed that most people inherit a piece of jewelry with no idea who owned it originally or what its worth. With her expert eye and years of experience, Alana recognizes quality when she sees it and can usually tell the owner when their jewelry was made and its market value. For more information about Alana: Antique & Estate Jewelry, visit www.alanajewelry.com. The website has extensive photographs of inventory and pricing.

When we are able to articulate why Judaism matters, why it is critical for us to have a future, then continuity will be the obvious result. In the 21st century, Jews are not inspired to survive just to survive. But we can be inspired to
engage in the deepest questions of meaning and existence and do that through the wisdom of our heritage. Second, we have to make Torah accessible to all. We have to stop imagining Torah as only for the clergy and the elite. We have to stop telling ourselves, I do social justice, other people do Torah. We would never limit the quest for pursuit

Jerusalem mayor: If you dont build, youre going to lose the city
Jacob kaMaRas JointMedia News Service
DENVERPressed time and again by Washington Institute fellow David Makovsky on East Jerusalem construction, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat responded in kind with a query of his own: When you talk about a freeze in the city of Jerusalem, what do you exactly mean? Barkats message at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly on Nov. 6 was that, when the Obama administration criticizes moves like the Israeli governments expedition of construction on 2,000 housing units in East Jerusalem following UNESCOs decision to accept Palestine as a member state, the administration should define the construction freeze it is calling for a freeze for specifically Jewish construction, or a freeze for Jewish and Arab construction alike? The Israeli governments construction plan, Barkat said at a GA session titled Community Building in Jerusalem, includes community centers, Arab classrooms, and other projects meant to improve quality of life for every religious group. Do the U.S. and the rest of the global community want to freeze that, Barkat asked? More than once, Makovsky asked Barkat if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be best served focusing on construction in Jewish-only neighborhoods, and avoiding the building of Jewish enclaves in Arab neighborhoods. We have more Arabs living in Jewish neighborhoods than Jews living in Arab neighborhoods, Barkat responded. Barkat said he doesnt envy NetanyaBogomilsky described its flagship program, Friends@Home, which sends trained teens to the homes of the special-needs children for a couple of hours a week, giving parents a bit of a time out while the teens agree to play whatever games the kids want. Sib Shops workshops feature activities hus position on the building issue, but said the prime minister made the correct decision by not giving in to demands to stop Jewish building. Its a matter of Jewish survival in Jerusalem, Barkat said. Youve got to build, and youve got to build in the city in an honest and fair way, he said. If you dont build, youre going to lose the city. Regarding Israels ongoing housing crisis and the social protests of the summer, Barkat pointed to unrented apartments in Jerusalem units often owned by American Jews as a primary cause of the exorbitant cost of rent in the city. Some of the best law students get subsidies to attend school in Jerusalem but cant attend because of how much housing costs, he said. for the sisters and brothers of these children so they can get together and make friends, and the Moms Night Out program plans a variety of relaxing evening events just for women. In addition, their Friendship Circle Wraps program coordinates a toy drive with partnering Jewish schools, who then

get involved, said the rabbi. This is a phenomenal experience for a teen, to learn how to give of yourself and give of your time. The Friendship Circle also operates several other programs for the parents and siblings of these special-needs kids.
donate toys to the Friendship Circle kids. The program also operates a summer camp out of the Mercer Island facility. This year, Bogomilsky said, the camp is their next growth area and it will be fullblown. Our ultimate goal is to create a center, he said.
