By Ira Sharkansky JERUSALEM Coping is a synonym for political management. It s especially prominent in situations of intense conflict, when competing groups can t make crisp decisions. It s marked by doing a bit of this, and a bit of that, without overcoming the conflict. There s also avoidance and ambiguity. Avoiding the knotty problems, and fashioningRead More Posted in: Ira Sharkansky, Middle East Haven  depicts the true and memorable story about the war life of Ruth Gruber who was Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. She personally escorted and helped 984 Jewish refugees resettle in the US from war torn Italy. These refugees traveled together with wounded U.S. soldiers on the naval ship Henry Gibbins that ran U-boat gantlets and fought off German air strikes. Traveling the long boat journey, Gruber and these refuges were continually faced with antisemitic hatred and protests from the wounded American soldiers.

The family lived in Hamburg and his father was a successful importer of tobacco. He arranged for his son to travel to Louisville and work as an apprentice to a business associate who was a tobacco farmer and trader there. He writes about the hot, damp climate and the warm relations between him and his employer, who helped him get settled and even took him to the Kentucky Derby. It was all interesting but very different to the life he had known in Hamburg,Read More Posted in: Dorothea Shefer-Vanson, International, Travel and Food, USA It was only in the past year that a number of Arab countries decided that the failure of the Palestinian Arabs to come to an agreement with Israel was dangerous for those selfsame countries. With an expansionist Shia-Muslim Iran threatening them, two Sunni-Muslim Arab states decided to put their citizens first and ally themselves with the most powerful state in the neighborhood, Israel. No longer would the security of the Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain (by “allying” with Israel) be vetoed by Palestinian Arabs, whose demand is NO normalization with Israelis. [Steve Kramer]Read More Posted in: Middle East, Steve Kramer Less than a month after the normalization agreement with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain has also joined the peace train. I am all for it; peace and normalization are always better than war and animosity. But to be honest, I don’t see that the rest of the world is so excited about it, and I think this shows how isolated we are in the world. Despite the fact that Israel has established connections with countries that  were previously enemies, no one is cheering, no one is sounding the festive trumpets. For all our efforts to be accepted, Israel, and Jews (though they may not recognize it), are excluded from the family of nations. [Michael Laitman, Ph.D]Read More Posted in: Lifestyles, Michael Laitman, Middle East The story of the late Irena Sendler, who is credited with saving the lives of as many as 2,500 Jewish children, is already well known.  She was honored by Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem as a Righteous Gentile more than 50 years ago.  Books and movies have been written about her, with more to come, including one in which Israeli actress Gal Gadot, known as “Wonder Woman” to movie goers, has been signed to portray her.  In this novel by James D. Shipman, we meet an Irena drawn from both the historical record and Shipman’s imagination.  Some of the characters are real, but Irena’s chief antagonist, a Gestapo major called Klaus Rein, is fictional.  [Donald H.

Harrison The past three Sundays, the Israel Philharmonic Chamber Music Series featured some of their leading players: principal oboist, Dudu Carmel, on September 6; principal flutist, Guy Eshed, on September 13 and four principal string players violinists David Radznisky and Dumitru Pocitari, violist Miriam Hartman and cellist Emanuele Silvestri with their new conductor, Lahav Shani, at the piano, September 20. All these programs, as well as the first two, August 23 and 30, are still available on YouTube. [Eileen Wingard]Read More Posted in: Eileen Wingard, Middle East, Music and Visual Arts Yom Kippur begins on Sunday evening. It is considered to be the most holy day of the Jewish year. It is the only holiday even more special than Shabbat. But what makes this one day so important? It is a day devoted to thinking; thinking about yourself, thinking about your friends and family, about the world, and about God. It is finding out how you fit in and what you can do to make this world a better place for everyone. [Marcia Berneger]Read More Posted in: Jewish Religion, Marcia Berneger Conflict of interest allegations and failure to report contributions in a timely manner militate against Barrios candidacy.  He needs to get his own house in order before he can become a steward of the people s. Luckily for the voters, Sean Elo-Rivera, a trustee of the San Diego Community College District, is also a candidate in the 9th Council District, which Gomez is vacating to run for Congress.  [Donald H. Harrison, Our Shtetl San Diego County ]Read More Posted in: Donald H. Harrison, Jewish Religion, San Diego County, USA On Wednesday President Trump yet again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power following the election: “Well, we’re going to have to see what happens. You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster.” Trump has demonstrated beyond any doubt that he has no respect for American democracy as such. His words should be seen as an assault on the very foundations of this country, which is first and foremost a nation that has always ensured and honored the smooth succession of executive authority.
